.:suddenly a boxer's glove came out of the ground, and punched him straight in the stomach, she laugh out loud again:.

Knuckles just rolled with it, flung into a wall. "Well, duh, you idiot," Knuckles murmured to himself, slowly regaining his footing. "Real classy. Where'd you get the idea, some cartoon?" He looked around.
Cameras. Cameras everywhere. Eyes.
He was being watched. And the place was rigged.
Perfect.
Inhale. Exhale. Focus. Say the Words. Knuckles went over the steps in his mind.

' '....Yeah, guess play times over.' ' .:something above him opened, and a ladder fell down infront of him. He could see light upwards:.

Knuckles didn't like it one bit. Inhale. Exhale. Focus. Say the Words. Yes. "What's the catch?"

' 'Catch? There is non. That's the exit. Unless you WANT to stay in the maze...' '

(right now i'm rewatching sonic X, heh)

"And you've given me any reason to trust you? Admit it, I'll go out there and be surrounded by robots," Just a bit more stalling... "But you know what? Fine, I'll beat up anyone. You think you're handing a child an unloaded gun." He could feel the surge now, now just to unleash it. He cautiously climbed the ladder.

.:he soon reached the surface, he was only a few feet away form the trap door:.

Plumm looked up. "Knuck-als!" He cheered, flying off.

Knuckles glanced around, and let the surge fade. No catch. He relaxed and immediately felt nauseous. He closed his eyes and flopped onto the grass.

' 'No catch.. I maybe a bad guy but i don't lie.' ' .:she grabbed her mc and crushed it like a grape in her fingers. Shen then grabbed the headphones and crushed them with her hands:.
