(The scene opens to Knuckles sitting on a bucket as Grizelda is laying on the ground asleep with the gown of her dress now torn, a newspaper of Sonic on the front page then flew onto Knuckles leg for him to grab it and look at the newspaper, and then grunts out of jealousy as he lets go of it, resulting in it flying through wind. He later has a flashback of him protecting the Master Emerald. He grunts for a moment until he hears someone coming.)

"Huh?" (Knuckles stands up on the bucket as Eggman emerges from the shadows.) "What do you want, Eggman?" Knuckles asked (Grizelda woke up from hearing Knuckles and gasped from seeing Eggman.)

"Please help me, Knuckles!" (As Eggman's words catches Knuckles and Grizelda off guard, they wonder as Eggman surprisingly grabs onto the echidna's hands, shocking Knuckles as he lets out a surprise gasp.) "If we don't do something fast, Sonic could make us prisoners on this planet forever! If we can gather all seven of the Chaos Emeralds, there's a fighting chance that we can somehow reverse the effect that sent us to this world and return to where we came from! Sonic knew he could use the Chaos Emeralds to warp himself through time and space, that's the reason he attacked "Chaos Control"! He found out that I'd collected all the Chaos Emeralds to keep them out of his grasp! You know how reckless Sonic is! I was afraid of what he might do if he got a hold of the emeralds, so I set up defenses, but there was no stopping Sonic! He was determined to push his selfish search for thrills all the way this time, no matter who got hurt! Finally, Sonic invaded Chaos Control, and to my horror, he finally achieved his goal! Sonic destroyed Chaos Control and sent us all here, just for the fun of it!" Dr. Eggman said

"Sonic... he's crazy!" Knuckles said

"I can't believe he did that." Grizelda said

"I've changed my ways and want to live in peace but Sonic won't let me!" (Blows his nose into a tissue and sniffs for a bit.) "What can I do?! He won't even give me a chance to fix things! I want to get us back, but what I found with the Chaos Emeralds, do you know what happened? Sonic snatched it from me, and said he's going to stay here as long as he pleases!" Dr. Eggman said

"That selfish hog!" Knuckles said

"He said that we can't leave here until he says so! He thinks this world's a lot more fun than ours and if we don't agree, it's our tough luck!" (Knuckles gets angry.) "You'd think he'd be more concerned about his buddy?" Dr. Eggman asked

"Sonic isn't my buddy! I'm sick and tired of Sonic turning everything into a game! Either Sonic gives us that emerald or I'm going to take it from him!" Knuckles said

"Be careful! Sonic says he'll crush anybody who tries to get it back!" Dr. Eggman said

"So then, a battle to the bitter end!" Knuckles said

"I'm not gonna be left out of it, I'm gonna..." Grizelda didn't get to say

(places his hand on Grizelda's shoulder to calm her down.) "Easy, you're not fit to fight someone like Sonic. He's mine to deal with." Knuckles said

(My chronic Sonic problems are over!) Dr. Eggman thought in his head

(The scene changes to the Thorndyke mansion where Zee, Tails, Chris and Chuck are talking about the Chaos Emerald as True is now awake while her hand is still healing.)

"A Chaos Emerald! Does anybody know where they come from or how they work?" Chris asked

"Nobody knows much except that they're really powerful!" Tails said

"It's a good thing True didn't touch it." Zee said

"Yeah, I don't want to be in a worse condition from the ring." True said
