Upon your awakening from unconsciousness. You find yourself in front of the Master Emerald. You looked around and realized that you were on Angel Island. You looked behind you and Knuckles himself was there, along with some echidna girls such as Tikal, Shade and Julie-su. You also saw that you were patched up with bandages.

Knuckles: Hey there! We found you unconscious and wounded and we brought you here for your safety. Are you okay?
