Pearl:"And it's going to wreck your but...again,and this time no matter what sonic says i'm shooting it"

Shadow:"we'll be backup.."


Nortlu:"Petty arguments,why do you bother Knuckles?it's not like this time even cares for you,you don't belong' she cackled again

Knuckles narrowed his eyes. "I bother because you're a threat. And I think you're the one who doesn't belong," He growled as he surveyed the terrien. He couldn't have wished for better; there were probably updrafts blowing up from the canyon, the ground flat, and the sky was clouded (Which ironically aided his vision).

(How?)

Pearl:"What does she mean by that?"

Shadow shot Knux's a glare "Go get her?" he said as he patted Knux's Back


Nortlu:"That's true in both ways...but shouldn't you be guarding your precious master emerald " she said with a sneer

(Apparently his eyes are sensitive to light... hence why he often wears sunglasses.)

Knuckles glanced at Shadow and flashed a confident smile. "She just made things personal." He said with something between an amused laugh and a vicious snarl. "Don't worry; I ain't holding back! We'll see who's laughing then!"

Sonic nodded, smiled, and gave a thumbs up. "Send her to the scrap pile, Red!"

"Will do!" Knuckles exclaimed, stepping out onto what was soon to be a battlefield.

"Ladies first...!" He taunted.

Nortlu:"Who ever said i was female......or male for that matter..." she stepped out of her cave her tail flicking madly(Made at gender comments,go mah boi)

Shadow sucked in a breath (Almost made him think she was hot *Facepalm)

(Knux just assumed her/him/its/their gender XD)

"Would you rather me call you a 'them' or an 'it'?" Knuckles inquired, though it was hard to tell if he was being sarcastic or not. "Either way, just come at me!" he retorted.

Sonic folding his hand behind his back. Don't do anything dumb pal...

Pearl:"Are we really just gonna stand here?"

"Of course not." Sonic said. "He won't be able to take that thing out on his own, but if we jump in now, said thing will just escape,"

Pearl:"That's why we didn't last time?"

Shadow looked at them.."You let him fight this thing on his own?"

Nortlu:"Hmph.....your friends aren't gonna help...how sweet of them"

"So? You said four against one was unfair. I'm a soloist anyway," Knuckles growled. He rushed at Nortlu, brandishing a spurred fist, and sprang upward, violet eyes shining with excitement and rage.

Sonic flattened his ears. "You're right. That puts us in a tight spot.... Any ideas?"
