KNUCKLES' SCRIPT
provided by Lien aka Chainspike
--Introduction--
*Knuckles sits at the Master Emerald altar, eyes closed, night*
Knuckles: As far back as I can remember, I've been living here on this dark island...Always guarding the Master Emerald... from anything that can harm it. I don't know why I was given this job... Why it was my fate, Destined to be here... forever!
*noise startles Knuckles*
What the...?
What's going on here? Oh no! Something's happened to the Master Emerald!
*sees Chaos*
Huh? Who are you? Did you do this? Ohhh, I'll get you for this!
*attacked by Chaos 0*
Ooomph! Ugh agh! Hey, no fair!
Wait!
What's happening to you? Come back here! Wow! That was incredible! I've never seen anything like it. Oh no! It's starting to happen. Without the Master Emerald's power, this whole island will fall into the ocean!
--End Introduction--
--Beginning of Game--
Knuckles: It's up to me to find the missing pieces of the Master Emerald. It won't be easy. Pieces flew off everywhere. Guess I'd better start looking anywhere I can.
*start play in Station Square*
---
--First Flashback--Past Scene--
Knuckles: Where in the world am I? I don't remember being here before. But something about it is familiar. Hmmmm... This is very strange.
Echidna: Just watch! I'll get them all!
Echidna: A good defense is the best offense!
--Scene with Tikal and Pachacamac--
Tikal: Father! Please don't!
Pachacamac: Tikal, the 7 Emeralds are essential to our survival. It is for the good of all our people.
Tikal: How can I make you understand? Attacking other countries, stealing and killing... can't be the right path to peace. No one has the right to take their holy grounds. I beg you father!
--End First Flashback--
--After Flashback--
Knuckles: Uhh! Now where am I? Back in Station Square, I see. What's going on here, anyway?
---
*Knuckles Sees Eggman*
Knuckles: Hey, it's Dr. Eggman! What's he got there? It's gotta be a part of the Master Emerald! Hold on! Come back here!
*Knuckles follows Eggman up the elevator*
---
--Knuckles Meets Eggman--
Knuckles: Eggman! Give me back the Master Emerald!
Eggman: Knu... Knuckles! Uhhh, this isn't what you're after!
Knuckles: Huh, you're right!
Eggman: That's okay though. I can use you as a guinea pig to test it. Chaos! Chaos!
Knuckles: Chaos? It's that creature again! The same one I saw on my island. He was there when the Master Emerald shattered, I'm sure of it. He saved me the trouble of looking for him. Now I'll get him good!
Eggman: Ha ha ha ha ha! Way to go, Chaos!
Knuckles: Hah! Changing shape won't scare me!
Eggman: Fine! Give it your best shot!
*battle Chaos 2*
---
--After Beating Chaos 2--
Eggman: Bah! So what if you won this time. You have yet to see the true powers of Chaos!
Knuckles: Yeah yeah, that still doesn't faze me, you hear?
Eggman: I know something that might. It's about Sonic.
Knuckles: What? What about Sonic?
Eggman: He's after the pieces of the Master Emerald, too!
Knuckles: What do you mean?
Eggman: You're not the only one on a wild goose chase, idiot! Why should I ruin your surprise? Ha ha ha ha ha ha...
Knuckles: I wonder what he meant by that? I'd better find Sonic.
---
--Mystic Ruins--
Knuckles: I wonder why Sonic is after the Master Emerald? I'd better work fast and get to the bottom of this.
---
--Knuckles vs. Sonic--
Knuckles: There's Sonic! Eggman was right. What's that in his hand? It looks like a piece of the Master Emerald! He has no right to have that!
Sonic: Hey, Knuckles! *Knuckles attacks* Whoa! What do you think you're doing?
Knuckles: All right! Put 'em up! Hand over the Emerald now!
Sonic: That's not gonna happen, buddy!
*fight*
Sonic: Oh no! The Chaos Emeralds...!
*Eggman arrives*
Knuckles: Eggman! What's he doing here?
Eggman: Ha! That's all there is to it. You guys are too easy!
Knuckles: That's a Chaos Emerald!
Eggman: First come, first served, they say. And you serve me too well for you own good! Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha...
Sonic: You can't get away with this! Knuckles, did you let him trick you again?
Knuckles: Like, you weren't?
Sonic: Smooth move, Knucklehead!
Eggman: Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha... I've got 4 Emeralds now. Here, Chaos! Come here, my hungry pet!
Tails: Now look what he is!
Knuckles: No problem. I'll make him eat dirt!
*fight Chaos 4*
---
--Interlude Screen--
I'm Knuckles the Echidna.
But just call me Knuckles.
I just can't believe it!
Eggman has deceived me again!
Sonic was amazed at how gullible I was
and now I owe him one!
It's all because of that evil Eggman and
his Chaos! I'll get them both!
---
Eggman: Behold, my flying fortress! My creation, the Egg Carrier. Beware, Chaos' true power is yet to be unleashed. Ha ha ha ha ha... We shall meet again!
*flies away*
Tails: Hurry, Sonic! What are we waiting for? My workshop's close, so let's go get the Tornado and go after him!
Sonic: Good idea!
Knuckles: Hey Sonic! You go on ahead without me. I have some thing I need to take care of.
Sonic: No problem, Knuckles. We'll take care of everything here. Let's move!
---
--Flashback After Lost World--Past Scene, at Master Emerald Shrine--
Knuckles: Where am I? This is very strange.
Tikal: I beg of you. Hear me now. My father is coming here soon. And I fear what may happen. You must take everyone away from here! Oh please! So, are you saying that you can't leave this place? I understand... Let me talk to my father again! There must be a better way to do this. Don't worry, my friends. I won't let you down. I must do something... quickly.
--End Flashback--
--After Flashback--
Knuckles: What... I'm back in front of the altar! This is beginning to blow my mind! Wait a minute... I remember... The broken pieces of the Master Emerald... I have to restore them to where they belong.
*Knuckles restores the Master Emerald*
It's still incomplete! I need to find the remaining pieces. Wherever they are. Hey look! *looks in the Emerald* It's Eggman's flying fortress. That's where the rest of the pieces must be. But I don't know where that ship is. *E-102 appears* Hey! Isn't that one of Eggman's robots? I know... I'll follow it back to Eggman's base! Here I come, Eggman!
---
*sees Egg Carrier*
Knuckles: Hmmm, just what I thought. Time to make a house call!
---
*aboard Egg Carrier*
Knuckles: Now we'll see who's so easily tricked. I can sense the Emeralds are here somewhere!
---
Knuckles: Uh! What's going on?
*Egg Carrier transforms*
Ugh! This thing's always changing. I sense the Master Emerald. It can't be far from here.
---
--After Sky Deck--
Knuckles: The last missing piece! All right! Now to restore the Master Emerald! Huh?
--Third Flashback--Island in Flames
Knuckles: Oh no! Not again. What is the meaning of this? Hey, what happened here?
Tikal: I couldn't... stop them. They came... and my father... I had no idea... how bad this would turn out! I'm shocked.
Knuckles: Look, it's the Emerald! Wait!
--End Flashback--
--After Flashback--
Knuckles: Is this a dream? It's more like a nightmare!
--
Knuckles: I've finally found all the missing Emerald pieces... But... I still can't figure out that creepy monster. Huh! What's that? Whoa..........
Eggman: Aarghh! Not again... I hate you!
Knuckles: Hey, Sonic!
Sonic: There you are, Knuckles! About time!
Eggman: I will return!
Sonic: Eggman! Come back!
Knuckles: I'd better let Sonic handle it from here. He'll do okay. Now... I must return to Angel Island and the Master Emerald.
*Chaos 6 appears*
No! It can't be! I guess he didn't get enough the first time! You can't stop me from restoring the Master Emerald!
*battle Chaos 6*
--After battle--
Knuckles: Yeah! You're finished! What's left now is to return the Master Emerald safely to my island.
---
*restores the Master Emerald completely*
Knuckles: This should do it! Perfect. All is well, now! The Master Emerald and the island have been restored.
---
--Ending--
*Knuckles sits at the Master Emerald's altar just like in the introduction, except now in daytime*
Knuckles: I'll probably here on this floating island forever. Guarding the Master Emerald, again. I may not know the whole story behind this. But perhaps it's better that way. I am at peace once more.
