As if the Egg Fleet's bombardment of the new city weren't stressful enough, Julie-Su found herself confronted once again with the menace of Enerjak, whom she had met shortly after her first encounter with Knuckles. Brought to life by the machinations of rogue Dark Legion scientist Dr. Finitevus, the reborn Enerjak gave Julie-Su even greater cause for worry as it conincided with Knuckles' disappearance, and after she had begged him not to travel to Angel Island alone. Upon learning that the Chaotix would not be sent to Angel Island to look for him, she (with Vector's support) led the others in an attempt to escape New Mobotropolis by forcefully taking a plane. When Sonic intervened, Julie angrily protested that they were being treated as "pet mercenaries" rather than friends. Sally arrived and managed to convince them to remain behind, placating the angry Echidna with the promise that Sonic and Tails would go to look for Knuckles. Julie then watched through a probe sent by NICOLE as Enerjak defeated the Dingoes and the Dark Legion, and was the only Legionnaire-former or otherwise-who didn't have her cybernetic parts removed by Enerjak's power in the first wave, during which he also sent most of the transformed Legionnaires and the other Echidnas to Albion.

Enerjak then arrived in New Mobotropolis, by which point Julie-Su became convinced that Knuckles had died at his hands. She attacked in a rage, not caring what happened to her so long as she could avenge her love's demise. But then Enerjak revealed the full horror to her and the other defenders of the city: Knuckles couldn't have been killed by the new Enerjak, because he had become the new Enerjak. After he explained his plans to remove all technology from Mobius and thus establish peace, she tried to convince him to abandon his madness. Furious, he tried to force her to share his vision by restoring her body to a fully organic state, but was thwarted by the arrival of Sonic. She and the other Chaotix and Freedom Fighters were then caught in a pitched battle as first Sonic and then Shadow the Hedgehog fought Enerjak, only to be defeated by the super-powered Echidna. Luckily for the already damaged city of New Mobotropolis, the Egg Fleet arrived and captured Enerjak, beaming him to a new Egg Grape Chamber so that his power could be used by Dr. Eggman to fuel his own schemes.

Julie had little time to worry over Knuckles' fate, however, before Locke brought her and Sonic to a secret facility where the Brotherhood of Guardians had stored a powerful weapon as a precaution against Enerjak's return. Locke's intentions for the pair were obvious: his plan was to have them use this weapon to kill Enerjak. Vehemently opposed to this course of action, Julie-Su was surprised when Sonic apparently decided to cooperate. Before she could ask the Hedgehog for an explanation, however, Locke led them right into a battle with the Destructix, led by Scourge the Hedgehog and Fiona Fox. For all their skills, the trio couldn't defeat them, and Archimedes, Knuckles and Locke's mentor, intervened. Julie-Su's doubts in Sonic were unjustified as he then destroyed the weapon Locke had been seeking, not willing to kill his friend in order to stop him. She was then left behind as Sonic left to face Enerjak, using the Master Emerald to become Super Sonic. (StH: #183)
Locke was still of the opinion that Knuckles had to be destroyed, but Julie-Su cut him to the quick by accusing him of hating his own son. Leaving him to ponder that shocking possibility, Julie went to confront Dr. Finitevus, intent on making him change Knuckles back. The mad doctor laughed at the suggestion, saying that he couldn't because his spell could only be undone by the sacrifice of a life. More than willing to die for her love, Julie-Su was about to attack, but was stopped by first Archimedes, and then Locke. After a brief battle with Finitevus, Julie watched as Locke made his way to the Emerald and undid the spell, promising Locke that she would tell Knuckles the reasons behind his actions and that Knuckles would understand why he had done what he had. With Knuckles freed and Finitevus fled, Julie and Sonic were both eager to return to New Mobotropolis-but Knuckles refused, saying that it was now his duty to watch over the Master Emerald, even if he had to do so alone.

Rouge the Bat has also made advances towards Knuckles, but due to his connection to Julie-Su and Knuckles displaying vehement dislike for her, it is unlikely that this will go anywhere. As if that weren't enough, Rouge has demonstrated that she has no romantic feelings for Knuckles; she simply wants to use him to get to the Master Emerald and to beat Julie-Su by stealing Knuckles from her.

She later attempted to prove she could do good deeds legitimately by working with the Chaotix on a mission to investigate Renfield T. Rodent's casino in Station Square, and later lured Mammoth Mogul and other villains into a trap pretending to be selling the Master Emerald, making them easy prey for a sting-operation. Following this, she helped to console Knuckles who was dealing with the guilt of his deeds as Enerjak. (StH: #166, #173, #186)

As a baby, Kneecaps doesn't have a very developed personality. He is very energetic and positive, particularly if either of his parents or Knuckles is around. Because of his affection for his family, he can get very depressed when one of them is sad or not reacting to him. He is also terrified by massive displays of power, as seen when he saw Super Knuckles power up and when he saw Enerjak appear in the Echidna village on Angel Island
Because of his youth, he is unable to speak, his dialouge consisting entirely of pictures to give an idea as to what he is at least thinking. Through those, it was shown that he does not like his name, had evil thoughts to those who made fun of his name, shows signs of boredom, and could recognize Sonic and Knuckles when they arrived to deal with Hunter.

Lara-Su is Knuckles's and Julie-Su's daughter from the future timeline known as Mobius: X Years Later. She was initially at odds with her father, who refused to allow her to become a Guardian. Eventually, he relented however, only for that future to be warped almost beyond recognition by an alteration of history from King Sonic. Lara-Su and a few others recalled the rightful timeline, and together fought the despotic King Shadow, Lara-Su herself ended the fight by imprisoning him with Chaos Control. Serving as a Guardian for five years, she also became a member of the Future Freedom Fighters when Shadow returned.
According to the alternate future of Mobius: 25 Years Later, Locke died at a rather young age given Guardian longevity, having apparently developed cancer (possibly due to his experiments in radiation). Lara-Le and Knuckles visited him as he lay dying, and he confessed that he had realized the errors he had made during his life. He professed undying love for both of them, and told Knuckles how he regretted putting duty ahead of being a father. He died in his sleep in the middle of the night on the sixty-first day of the Mobian year 3246. Three days later, he was buried in a small, private ceremony, and as a result never met Lara-Su in that timeline. After Lara-Su's unveiling, Knuckles visited his grave, and came to realize that in denying his daughter the choice of becoming a Guardian, he was making the same mistake Locke had made with him. As Knuckles admitted his error, Locke was looking down on him in the company of Aurora, the goddess figure of Mobius.
Lara-Su's name is combination of the first name of her grandmother, and the last name of her mother (Lara-Le, Julie-Su) .
The glasses in Lara-Su's design were inspired by fan Noele Carballo.
Lara-Su's braid on the left side of her hair may be an homage to her mother's previous sole cybernetic dreadlock, which has since been either removed or restored, as she now has normal dreadlocks like any Echidna. The braid could also be an homage to her grandmother, Lara-Le, who once had a left-sided braid early on in the comics.
A version of Lara-Su appeared first in Sonic the Hedgehog #106 — #109. This was stated to be a different reality from that of Mobius: 25 Years later by writers Ken Penders and Ian Flynn.
Even though this is a "possible future" and is subject to changes within the timeline, Lara-Su currently stands as the second female member of the Brotherhood of Guardians in history, behind her great-great-great-grandmother, Janelle-Li.

Vector's son, Argyle, may have been interested in Lara-Su in the unaltered timeline judging by how he wished to dance with her at her Unveiling, and Lara seemed to also be interested in him in both timelines judging by how she was happy to dance with him and in the alternate timeline called him her "good friend" and was shown to be quite comfortable being in close contact with him. She also showed a hint of jealousy when Belle D'Coolette began to flirt with him. (SU: #7)
While Lara hasn't shown any romantic interest in anyone else herself, she was the object of a crush from Prince Manik in the unaltered timeline. It is also possible that Skye Prower has a crush on her as well, as he seemed a little nervous (even more than usual) around her. Jacques D'Coolette was also quite charming to her in their first encounter, though it is possible that this is simply the result of his gentlemanly

Born to the Dark Legion Grandmaster Luger and his second wife Mari-Su, Julie-Su had a troubled life early on. Her half siblings, Kragok and Lien-Da, treated her with disdain from the beginning, having been opposed to their father's remarriage and jealous of the affection she received from her mother and father. Shortly after the "accident" which claimed her mother's life, Julie-Su was placed under the foster care of the Dark Legion couple Simon and Floren-Ca as Luger had no parenting skills whatsoever. When Julie-Su's father disappeared, never to be seen again, her sinister siblings then activated her Memory Neutralizing Chip thus erasing her memory, as neither wanted her to share in their future role as leaders of the Dark Legion.

Knuckles (MxYL) is the Mobius: X Years Later version of Knuckles the Echidna. Following a major power increase of unknown cause, he defeated his time line's version of Dr. Eggman by becoming Chaos Knuckles, and after wards attempted to recreate Mobius as he thought it should be, similar to the activities of Knuckles Prime as Enerjak. He was thwarted by Sonic, who used an alien device of unknown origin to nullify his powers. The resulting explosion cost Knuckles his right eye, and may have been the beginning of an antagonism between him and Sonic that continued for several decades afterward. They were able to put aside this feud in the face of two great threats to Mobius: first, a disruption in the space time continuum that threatened to destroy the planet, and later the tyranny of King Shadow. In his personal life, Knuckles also became the father of Lara-Su through his girlfriend Julie-Su.
