Knuckles is standing near the Master Emerald altar, contemplating the recent alien invasion by Black Doom, who claimed to part of the reason for Shadow's creation through his own blood. Knuckles seriously can't believe Gerald Robotnik, would go so far as making a pact with a demonic alien for the sake of creating perfection, but alas Shadow killed him regardless using the power of the Chaos Emeralds like they always do. He then looks to the Master Emerald and remembers Chaos and the Biolizard from several years ago and wonders if keeping it around out in the open is really the ideal way to always keep it safe.

Knuckles: "Man, this thing is like a blessing and a curse. It always gets us to a whole world of trouble. Maybe I should store it somewhere far, far away where nobody can get to it."
