“GOTCHA! HA HA HA HA HA HA!”

That menacing voice rings out in the air. Knuckles immediately turns around, trying to make out where the voice is. Quickly, he runs over to the on-going fight, preparing to save whoever’s being attacked by the malicious monster.

His eyes narrow, ears pinning back as he sees the sight. 2011x, holding up a struggling Tails, who appears to be gasping for air. Knuckles tries to ease his sore wrists so he can use them on the monster. He speaks up, voice stern and angry.

“Drop the fox.”

2011x looks back, still holding the panicking child. His toothy grin only widens at Knuckle’s order. He speaks towards the angry echidna, voice mocking and un-serious.

“Alright.. if you say so.”

He snaps Tails’s neck, throwing the boy on the cold, hard metal floor. Knuckles eyes widen, body freezing. And just in time, his wrists aren’t sore anymore. That sucks. He quickly gains his composure, deciding to grieve later. He puts his fists up, flame charging up. 2011x only laughs at the red hero’s anger, loving how distraught he is.

“All your fault.. ya couldn’t save him!”

Controlled by grief and rage, Knuckles lunges at the beast, fiery fist colliding with the executioner’s face. He reels back, covering his face in genuine pain and anger. Knuckles, seeing the killer in pain, takes advantage of this, and runs away. 2011x regains his bearings, and looks up, seeing the fleeing fighter.
