"Hey, Knuckles." said Julie-Su.
"Hey, Julie," said Knuckles.
"T'sup, Su?" said Sonic.
"Hey, Sonic. Knuckles, where have you been? I've been looking for you everywhere."
"I wasn't anywhere important."
"Oh okay. Well you wanna just hang out today?"
"Sure. I'll see you later, Blue."
"Later, Red. Well, Tails, I guess it's back to you and me."

Meanwhile...
Knuckles and Julie-Su went for a walk and Julie-Su held Knuckles hand as they usually do.
"You feeling okay?" Julie-Su asked.
"Huh? Oh yeah I'm fine." said Knuckles.
"You sure?"
"Honest. I'm fine."
"Um. Okay."
Knuckles! Julie-Su! Have you seen Sonic?!
"Sally?" Knuckles asked.
"What's the rush?" asked Julie-Su.
"I need to find Sonic!" said Sally gasping to catch her breath from running all around Mobotrolopolis, "Do you know where he is?"
"Yeah, he's that way." said Knuckles.
"Thanks." Sally went in the direction Knuckles pointed at.

"Come on, Tails, forget about Mina!" said Sonic.
"But she's the only girl I could ever like." said Tails.
"What about Fiona-"
"-She doesn't count."
"Sonic! There you are!" said Sally.
"Hey, Sal." said Sonic.
"Hey, Sally." said Tails.
"Hey. Sonic we have a major problem!"
"Take it easy, Sal. What's the dillio?"
"Nicole got readings that something is heading towards Mobotropolis! And it's not friendly!"
"Aw come on, Sal. What could possible be so dangerous that-"
BOOM!
"Whoa! What and where was that?!" Sonic exclaimed.
"Sonic!" Tails exclaimed.
"Yeah, Tails?"
"Look!"
"Oh no!" Sally exclaimed.
"Oh yes!" Eggman said, "You may have defeated me once, Sonic the Hedgehog, but not this time!"
"Eggman! I should have known it was you!" Sonic said.
"Indeed it is, Hedgehog!"
"Well don't get too happy 'cause I'm taking you down!"
"Sonic wait!" said Sally.
"Uncle," said Snively, "perhaps we should forget about him for now and focus on what we came here for."
"Certainly! Swatbots, attack!"
Eggman sent out a swarm of swatbots and they spread out throughout Mobotropolis. The citizens of Mobotropolis panicked with fear. The swat bots zapped each and every one of them and they disappeared into thin air.
"What the!" Sonic panicked.
"Mwahahahaha!" laughed Eggman.

Knuckles ran through Mobotropolis holding Julie-Su's hand.
"Knuckles, what's happening?!" Julie-Su exclaimed.
"I don't know but I'm sure it has Robotnik written all over it!" said Knuckles.
A swat bot landed in front of them and Julie-Su and Knuckles stood, back to back, as the swat bots surrounded them.
Knuckles punched the swat bots and Julie-Su blasted them with her gun.
"There's too many of them!" Julie-Su exclaimed.
Knuckles beat down the last one. "More are on their way!" he said, "This way!" he took her hand and ran and as he ran he dialed a number into his cellphone.
"Dad!" he said, "We have a problem!"
"I don't have time for this, Knuckles!" said Locke, "You better get back here this instant!"
"But Dad I-"
"No buts! You need to learn to take responsibility or you'll be useless like you are the rest of your life!"
"Useless!?"
"Useless!"
"You think I'm useless?!"
"What? No I-"
"Forget it! I'm never coming back there!"
Suddenly the phone shut off and Knuckles stopped, "I'm not useless..."
