The Full Tour

A few months after some had not offered up a birthday gift when they were supposed to. Jay had owed Dee something for her birthday, but skipped out. What a terrible thing to do. Perhaps he had his reasons or perhaps he was too lazy. Either way he felt like he really needed to make things up to Dee. Throwing a simple late party felt too easy. The winter season had united everyone under the banner of one whiny delinquent, though there was someone else left out of the loop. There was someone who wasn't with anyone during the winter season. A special someone who's duty always left him alone on an isolated island. That person was Knuckles.

The poor red bruiser had an eternal duty. Protecting the most powerful gem in the known universe is no easy task. Defending the green rock was a blessing of great honour, but also a terrible curse. Billions of lives rest on a sole red echidna to not screw up his job. Knuckles would never get to know the people he’s protecting, nor get the praise he deserves for his job. It’s best less people know about his guardian duties, rather than him being a known hero like Sonic. By keeping the Master Emerald a legend among the people, Knuckles at least relieved himself from the pressure of a sudden escalation of interlopers.

Knuckles laid back against the powerful glowing green rock, his eyes closed, but his senses honed. Knuckles had trained his senses to be fully aware of his surroundings even while he was asleep. Mastering this trick has allowed him to catch those unfortunate to underestimate him red handed. Some of the people got to leave if they weren't such bad people, while some others were strangely never heard or seen by anyone ever again. Perhaps food for the inhabitants.

Knuckles right ear twitched curiously. An unnatural sound was heard around 50 ft away from him. The scarlet striker was about to get some action in his dull life. Knuckles eyes remained closed for a moment, but a grin formed on his face.

“Another chump eh. I was itching for a little exercise.” Knuckles calmly spoke. The echidna swiftly got on his feet and headed towards the disturbance. Perhaps some animal got lost on his island? It was possible Knuckles was dealing with some desperate fool who needed to sell the Master Emerald for money. If it was someone with truly evil intent, Knuckles would just have to make them disappear like some other irredeemable fools.

“Shit I hate the forest. Mosquito’s and possible beehives galore, no thank you.” A voice spoke out loud to itself.”

Knuckles peered from within a spacious bush, not quite seeing anything yet. Perhaps Knux shouldn't have been moving the emerald around so much, just to make sitting in one place less boring. The original shrine was protective enough. In this case he could forgive himself. Whoever invaded his territory sounded like a typical city boy wuss from his complaints. He figured a male as it was unlikely for a female to have this low of a voice.

“I guess I can’t just make another disappear this time.” Knuckles thought to himself. Knuckles then waited patiently. Soon enough he’d hear or smell something that would reveal the intruders location. Lo and behold a chemical ridden odor filled his nostrils. It smelled reminiscent of what Amy once called hairspray, only a lot worse. A person was finally coming into view.

“I swear I better get my just dues for this, I almost fell into one of those traps.” The interloper whined.

His complaints didn't go on deaf ears. The red guardian was ready to strike. With one swift leap, Knuckles emerged from hiding and pounced on top of the trespasser. “Holy crap get off me you sick freak.” The intruder shouted before punching the echidna in the face. Knuckles right cheek budged barely a centimeter. The spiked boxing glove tough guy for once listened to an interloper.

Going against his cheesy theme, Knuckles chuckled. “Is that really what you call a punch? I’d feel insulted or downright mean pummeling a weak human.”

“It was a mercy shot, didn't want to knock you out.” The human argued back.

“If you really think I’m gullible you’re mistaken. You dishonor whatever dojo the symbol on your chest represents.” Knuckles said as he let the human go.

“It’s just a simple kanji that idolizes someone else.” The human dusted himself off. “I’m Jay and since you’re more hard headed than I am, you must be Knuckles.

Knuckles crossed his arms. “That’s right, what of it?”

“Look I need you to do me a favour ok?” Jay asked, somewhat flustered. “Can you please give my friend Dee a tour of the island?”

Knuckles shoved Jay against a tree, brushing him aside as if he was some fool. “Do I look like a tour guide? I have a job to do.”

“Take a chill pill dipshit and hear me out?” Jay pleaded. He had his hand in his back pocket just in case of an emergency.

Knuckles cracked his….well….knuckles. “You have 5 seconds to convince me, or leave before like any other intruder, I pummel you into paste.”

Jay gulped nervously. “Look. I kinda screwed up on a birthday gift, and Dee really wants to meet you. You’re probably really bored, so having someone around who won’t insult you sounds nice right?”

Knuckles pondered for a moment. It would be nice to actually have some company that’s not a no good thief. Also it’d be nice for a change to have someone around who doesn't mock him. He had enough of that from the once in a long while visit from Sonic.

“Please. I seriously can’t think of a better compromise. She gets the gift of meeting you, and you get someone to talk to and like you for who you are? That sounds good right?” Jay's hands were clamped together, nearly starting to show he might grovel.

Knuckles had nothing to really lose. He wondered if this was some sort of ploy to usurp his emerald, but he didn't think this person could formulate that kind of a plan. “Fine, you can bring this Dee person here for one tour. After which you are barred from this island.”

“Sure whatever, I didn't want to stick around this infested infernal place.” Jay said. Afterwards he pulled a strange device from his pocket. It blinked a yellowish colour.

“What is that contraption you got there?” Knuckles asked.

“What this? Oh it’s a P.T.U. I stole from Tails lab. It was the only way to get to this shitty island without dealing with all the traps and dangers.”

Knuckles growled, having enough of the attitude towards his home. If this guys friend was this bad, Knuckles might take out his frustrations upon the next visitor. “Get out of here! You reek of some unholy odor.”

Jay nodded and pressed a simple return button. He smirked as Knuckles had just given him an idea for later. A yellow flash blinded Knuckles as the human zipped out and ended up far away from the island. Knuckles opened his eyes and he was alone once more.

“Pft tourists.” Knuckles scoffed. “Just what did I agree to?”

Knuckles headed back to his master emerald and waited patiently. As much as he wasn't sure about this agreement, he was an echidna of his word. Knuckles is a little bit of a softie as person. As much as he isolates himself, occasionally gets angry, or fooled, he always stood by his word. Once the knucklehead has his mind set on something, he’ll see through it til the end. He wasn't sure how long he’d have to make this tour, but a few sights should satisfy whoever was coming. Knuckles nodded off and rested next to his emerald once more, awaiting for his senses to awaken him once his guest had arrived.

Merely an hour later...

“Hey…hey you…red man…show us around!” A bothersome voice spoke. Knuckles felt something poke him in the face constantly.

“Hey watch it pal or you’ll lose that finger” Knuckles threatened. His eyes then opened, an interesting sight to behold was in front of him. There was a chao. A white and blue chao was just a few centimeters away, floating in front of him.

“I don’t have fingers old timer, I have stubs.” The chao crossed his arms.

“Since when could chao talk…and are you the one that punk said was coming?” Knuckles rudely asked.

“Static where are you? You flew up ahead of me again!” A female voice cried out.

“Mom this wouldn’t be an issue if you went a little faster.” The chao responded. This confirmed to Knuckles that this obnoxious chao was called Static.

A human female with tanned skin, glasses, and a blue jacket came into view. She was a little out of breathe chasing after Static. Static may be playing things like some cool person would, but deep down he was excited. Ancient chaos seemed to live around the Master Emerald, as well as that monster Chaos he once heard about.

“Static you better wait up, or else you’re going to get a punishment.” The girl retorted.

Static mumbled a bit. He really didn't want to be on the receiving end of trouble. After all going back to a chao garden means no more special toys. “I’m sorry mom okay? Can we hang out with the old timer now?”

Knuckles growled. “OLD! I’m sixteen! How am I old?”

The women sighed. “Don’t mind Static, he calls everyone older than him old timer. I’m really glad to meet you Knuckles. I've read so much about you.”

Knuckles blushed slightly and rubbed the back of his head. He wasn't used to praise or even fans. Knuckles wasn't aware of how many people knew he even existed. Getting discovered is difficult when you live on an Island that isn't kind to interlopers and hooligans.

She offered her left hand with an open and friendly gesture. “My name’s D’azia, but everyone calls me Dee.”

There was no turning back now. “Nice to meet you I suppose. Welcome to Angel Island.” Knuckles gripped her left palm with his left boxing glove. He then gently shook lightly as he was unaware of just how much force a human could take. Things at least started off nicely, Dee was nicer than that other person who saw him beforehand.

Static floated over to Knuckles right arm and shook his hand. “Don’t forget about me old timer.” Static held onto Knuckles right hand and shook.

“Uh sure little guy, nice to meet…HEY!” Knuckles pulled his hand away from Static’s stub. Knuckles hand was felt like it had just touched the coldest snow of Ice Cap Zone.

Dee smacked Static in the back of his head angrily. “Behave yourself Static, that wasn't nice.”

“Owie sorry mom, I was playing with old timer.” Static cried a little.

“Call him Knuckles or at least something along those lines Static, it’s not nice to mock him.” Dee replied. She pushed Static closer to Knuckles to apologize.

“Sorry Mr. Knuckles.” Static said with his head sagging towards the ground.

“It’s fine I guess.” Knuckles turned his attention to Dee. “So you’re the traveler and he’s accompanying you?”

“Pretty much. Static also protects me.” Dee responded. "Jay just came teleporting into my home, and told me you wanted to see me. I was so excited I came as soon as I could."

Knuckles simply nodded. He never said he wanted to see her, but he might as well play along. “Well this island can be very dangerous, so you both should stick close to me.” Knuckles told the two tourists. They both nodded and kept within Knuckles reaching distance.

“Such a shiny rock.” Static said amazed. He was entranced by the Master Emeralds glow.

“No touching little chao. This emerald is off limits to everyone.” Knuckles demanded. Static huffed and pouted like a child. He really wanted to feel the pretty gigantic piece of jewelry.

“Is that the Master Emerald?” Dee asked.

“The one and only in the universe.” Knuckles retorted. “I’m sorry though, but I’m gonna need a moment to move it. I can’t let anyone but me know its whereabouts.”

Knuckles picked up the large rock with ease. Dee and Static were stunned the 3ft 7 Echidna wasn't even the least bit strained. Knuckles sprinted off and disappeared in the blink of an eye. Looks like what Dee heard about Knuckles was true. He was incredibly strong, but also pretty fast. Probably the strongest among all the mobians she knew about, but not quite as fast as the other few she was already acquainted with.

Knuckles returned soon after moving the Master Emerald to its hidden location. Currently it was located in the Hidden Palace Zone. Knuckles took a newly added shortcut to reach such a distant area. “Alright. We’ll see a few places, but after that you gotta go.”

“Ok..fair enough I suppose.” Dee agreed. She couldn't believe Jay got her the opportunity to spend time with Knuckles. This opportunity came late since Jay had to get that teleporter Dee now held onto to be built. Though truthfully that was the excuse Jay made up. In reality he kinda went through a few things around her birthday, but also didn't quite know what to do. Eventually Jay heard of a prototype teleporter Tails made. After stealing it, Jay could get passed the traps on Angel Island, without being a super fast being.

Knuckles lead Dee and Static on a long hike expedition. To be completely honest Dee herself was only somewhat interested in looking around. It was cool and all to see some exotic sites, but she really just wanted to spend time with the guardian himself. Dee wanted to be a friend. She wanted to mean more than a simple human who just got a small tour. There were a few other things she wanted, but she wasn't sure how to ask. Knuckles halted the group with a wave of his hand. The best place he could think of stopping was the Las Vegas of Angel Island, Carnival Night Zone.

Meanwhile at the D’azia residence, preparations were being made for when the home owner returned with her guest. Inside Jay set up some banners and already had a cake being made at a local bakery. The process for preparing the quote unquote surprise, took twice along as the free help was cast aside from mutual differences. The brightly coloured pink husky refused to help out so long as Jay wore the mosquito repellent 24/7. Not only her, but the genuinely helpful chao Soul, also refused on the same grounds.

“It’s for a good cause mutt, why don’t you do something?” Jay argued from the kitchen.

A quiet groan escaped the husky's maw. “I did, month’s ago. I’m perfectly happy to be charitable here if you stop wearing that crap you sprayed on. You’re not even in the wilderness anymore.”

The human blew against his hair bangs and chuckled. “Are you kidding me? It’s freaking genius. You ever taste the chemical spray by accident after you wear it?”

“No. I don’t wear that junk. Mosquito’s aren't a big deal.” Enuna rolled her eyes. She could have gone on the trip too, but Jay forbade it since he figured time alone would work better between Dee and Knuckles.

The chao sighed, before morphing into its echidna form. Soul sat next to Enuna. “Please sir, they're just tiny bugs, is it really worth wearing that and doing all the work yourself?

“Well besides mosquito’s being the evil vampire bugs that bring itchiness to all, you basically become inedible. One lick of these chemicals will cause someone to gag. I am a genius.” Jay then placed a party hat next to the balloons.

Enuna sighed. “So you really think she can get Knuckles to come over?”

Jay scoffed. “Of course. She manages to keep command of several super powered chaos, so I’d think one knucklehead won’t be an issue.

“Well she seems to keep the boys in line like a proper mom.” Enuna chuckled. “I’d fear to see how you’d handle being a dad.

Soul shivered. “Mommy has her ways of discipline, whether we really like them or not. Static doesn't really like them.” Soul smiled though at the idea of Jay being a dad. “I’d like to see it miss, I think sir could be a good dad.”

The human male laughed at the mere thought. “Me a dad? Yeah right! I barely have to look after a cat, and never have to look after my half brothers. I’m not really qualified.”

“Just like being poor at being on time for birthdays.” Enuna added.

“OUT…OUTTA MY HOUSE. Go pee on some tree, fire hydrant, or something.” Jay barked as an order.

The husky cracked her knuckles. “Not your house pal. Keep up that talk and I might lose my patience.”

Soul gripped Enuna’s arms with a soft, but firm grip. He then lowered them to her lap. “Now now miss, we don’t need to be fighting. We can go for a walk.”

Enuna agreed to the idea. Getting some fresh air would be nice. Soul was really the most rationale person or really chao she ever met. Always looking for the good in people, and being polite. “I’d like that. Fresh air is better than this chemical crap my nose can’t take.”

Soul face lit up contently. He kept everyone in check like a responsible adult, even though he wasn't one. He changed into chao form and floated to the door. Enuna and Soul went on a brief stroll while stubborn Jay set up his apology surprise.

“HOLY COW A CARNIVAL!” Static shouted. He let out a squee sound before dashing off into the illuminating light. Static had a whole flashy playground to himself.

“It’s really pretty looking.” Dee told Knuckles. She was happy to see Static play around, but a huge obstacle course like place wasn't her thing.

Knuckles pondered as to why the girl wouldn't join her pet thing. Did she hate the place? Was it boring? Would she get confused with how the barrels work? He gathered the courage to ask. “So Dee was it? You’re not really interested in this place are you?”

Dee turned head and mumbled a little. She didn't want to upset Knuckles, or make him feel like he’s wasted his time. She also didn't want to lie to him either. She felt the truth was all she could say. “I’m sorry. It looks cool, but truthfully I’m not much of an explorer.”

Knuckles paused before resuming his inquiries. “You’re not really interested in a tour either, are you?”

Dee nodded her head. “Not really no.” She lowered her head in shame. Feeling like she disappointed an idol of hers. Words however formed in her mind that needed to be spoken. Perhaps then he’d understand. “I’m more interested in you though truthfully.”

Knuckles ears perked, his gaze descending on the human girl. “Me? You just came for me?”

Dee smirked and shook her head. “I really wanted to see you. I always hear how you spend most of your time all alone on a floating island. I don’t know how you do that without something like video games.”

“What’s a video game?” Knuckles asked. He heard of games before, mainly the more physical challenges he and Sonic participated in, but video games were an unheard of concept.

“I can show you if you want. Maybe you could come with me to my house.” Dee offered her hand to the red guardian. All he had to do was accept, and she’d take everyone back to her home.

Static desperately tried to access deeper areas of the carnival, but unfortunately was stuck. A pair of red and white barrels prevented him from going any further. “How do these stupid things work.”

Static now furious and full of overloading temper, gestured his hands to the barrels, and fired his ice beam at them. Subzero temperatures instantly froze the barrels solid, leaving an opening for the impatient chao. “Hah, take that barrels, Static is better than you.”

After freezing the barrels, Static noticed no one was following him. That was odd considering this was supposed to be tour. He even half expected that Knuckles guy to get pissed at him. With no one to talk to, Static floated back to the entrance of the carnival. It looked like Dee and Knuckles were prepared to leave.

“Oh crap. We’re supposed to be here for at least another 30 minutes.” Static said to himself. He was panicking. Static didn't want Soul to see him as a screw up again. Soul was always the goody two shoes chao, the role model, while Static was the loose cannon. Static would have to keep them busy somehow. He promised Soul and Jay he would.

Knuckles grinned. For once he was invited to spend time with someone personally. For some reason he felt he could trust this human girl. He didn't really feel there was anything sinister motive behind her feelings. Knux had been wrong before, but he was willing to take the chance one more time. He really could use some more good friends. This girl could keep him company on those eternal emerald watches.

The white and blue chao soared between the two, interrupting their little handshake before it could take place. “Uncle Knuckie how ya doing?”

Dee growled and clenched her fist. She was having a moment and that punk just ruined it. Mother was so close to bringing Knuckles home with her. Static might just earn some discipline if he screws this up for her.

“I’m fine kid, we were kinda busy here.” Knuckles responded, agitated that this punk ruined the moment.

Static sat on Knuckles head and tugged on his ears. “Let’s play Uncie Knuckles. Unless you’re gonna keep flirting with my mom some more like a creeper.”

“STATIC!” Dee shouted.

“WHAT HOW DARE YOU!” The echidna roared.

Static let go of Knuckles and floated up a good 10ft into the air. “Uh oh…I’m in trouble aren't I?”

Dee glared angrily at the disruptive rude chao. “You bet you are. Don’t ship me with Knuckles.”

Knuckles nodded in agreement before a question escaped his mouth. “Wait what exactly is shipping?”

“DAWDY, DAWDY HELP!”

“Static you don’t have a daddy.” Dee argued.

Static constantly jerked his head around, scouring the area. “That wasn't me mom. I didn't say anything.”

Knuckles sniffed the air, hoping to pick up on something. His nose picked up on a strange scent, one that was familiar to Static, but different. “There’s something else here.”

“Are you sure Knuckles. Static sometimes cries out when he’s scared of me.” Dee replied.

“DAWDY!” A bunch of voices cried out. From the sounds of it they weren't too far away. Not only that, but they sounded like infants, barely able to pronounce their own words. Knuckles jumped into action, leaving Static and Dee behind.

“Hey wait I wanna come too!” Dee cried out, but Knuckles was already out of sight. “Damn it, he left us.”

Static swooped in behind Dee and morphed his body. Like Soul, he could morph into a different species. Static could become a hedgehog in his case. He grabbed onto Dee and hoisted her into a cradle position. With his devilish looking wings, he took off after Knuckles. “Don’t worry mom, we’ll catch up.”

Dee hugged Static, greatly appreciating his help. Static himself blushed at his moms love and turned his head way. He didn't want to embarrass himself. “Thank you Static.”

Static face responded with a snide grin. “No problem mom.”

“Don’t think this will make me forgot what you said Static.” Dee pointed out, making sure the boy knew he wasn't off the hook.

Static giggled. “Mom, you’re gonna want watch what you say. My grip might slip if you’re not careful.”

A scowl formed on Dee’s face, as well as a low growl. In this circumstance she didn't have any power. “You win this time Static…this time.”

A pack of ferocious felines circled around their prey. Adult lions cornering what looked to be 3 eggs, special bizarre looking eggs that they’d never seen before. There was a trio of eggs with the colours gold, silver, and bronze. The Lions bit down as hard as they could to crack their shells, but they simply hurt themselves. These egg shells felt nigh indestructible to them. If the pack couldn't simply tear into the young flesh, they’d simply have to devour the eggs whole. The pack members looked at each other, knowing 1 of the 4 wasn't going to be eating today.

“DAWDY!” They eggs cried out once more, but their dad was nowhere to be found. The leader of the pack scooped up the silver coloured egg in its jaws, slowly gulping it down to his esophagus. The golden and bronze cooured eggs cried out for their sibling, as the silver coloured egg was forcibly dragged down the pack leaders’ throat.

“RAAAAAH!” A loud shout filed the air. A fist then connected with the pack leaders face, catapulting him into a nearby tree. Knuckles had decked that feline in the schnoz.

The impact caused the lion in charge to choke on the silver coloured egg. Like a cat with a bad hairball, the lion hacked and coughed til the silver egg shoot out of his mouth. The egg shot at Knuckles as a speeding projectile. With his superior reflexes, Knuckles side stepped the egg. He only realized at the last minute that the big cat didn't shoot a hairball at him, but an unborn child.

“Oh no!” the brutish echidna cried out as the egg collided with a nearby solid stone nestled in the ground. Knuckles closed his eyes, horrified that he’d see an infant splattered against the hard rock. A loud crackle sound was heard, and that was the end of it.

Knuckles reluctantly looked at the carnage. The stone boulder cracked and collapsed on itself. Knuckles as well as the lion pack stared in disbelief. “How hard did that beast shoot the egg?” Knuckles asked out loud to himself. The other lions looked to their leader in disbelief. Even he didn't understand what happened.

Knuckles clenched his fist in anger, his teeth gritted and he had enough. “Preying for food is one thing, but on a helpless unborn baby! That’s going too far!” The red echidna stomped his right foot, causing the ground to shake around him. His sizable strength demonstrated in that one stomp. “Who’s first?!”

The 4 lions charged at the smaller echidna, ganging up on him for a 4-1 fight. Unfortunately for them, not even a hundred of their kind could take Knuckles down. With one right swift kick, Knuckles swatted away two of his larger foes like flies. With his two hands he gripped the leader and his subordinate’s necks, chokeslaming them straight into the ground. The grounded lions were jammed stuck into a newly formed crater.

Knuckles walked off and dusted his hands off, he had demolished a couple of chumps beasts, showing who the real dominant animal of Angel Island was. The red echidna went to mourn for the remains of the poor silver egg. With ease Knux had tossed away the rubble, looking for whatever was left of unborn infant. After shoving aside the last of the rubble, the silver egg simply rolled over to its sibling eggs. Together again they hopped and babbled some cheers.

“EH! What are those things made of!” Knuckles shouted, his voice nearly going shrill. His eyes bewildered by this tough egg. It wasn't even scratched or dented in the slightest. Were these things invincible? After another glance, he realized these three eggs were chao eggs. This lead to confusion that even Tails or Eggman wouldn't understand. Since when were chao eggs this durable? More importantly since when were chao becoming common?

Knuckles continually observed the eggs as they cheered in their babble speak. Knuckles lack of attention left him open for a swift assault. The lions quietly stalked the red guardian, as the loud cheers from the eggs masked their presence. From a mere foot away, the lions all at once leap into the air, claws out and ready to impale the red brute. A loud growl emerged from the beasts, alerting Knuckles to the sneak attack. The fowl beats were mere moments from hitting their target until…*BZZZT*. The lions were suddenly frozen solid. Together they were encased within an ice block. Someone had did Knuckles a favour.

“Hey up here.” A familiar voice called out.

Knuckles looked up to see a hedgehog with wings, descending with the girl he left behind. The red knucklehead had no idea who this new person was, but they butted into his fight. He wasn't very happy about that.

“It was ice to meat your new friends Uncie Knux.” The hedgehog said as he lowered Dee to her feet.

Knuckles groaned at the mere mention of a cold pun. He probably could have come up with a better one liner if he tried. “Can it Static, that’s not very…wait…Static?” The guardian was confused. Static was a chao, but this hedgehog with wings, was also Static?

The hedgehog chuckled. “Yep it’s me, cool aren't I?”

This time Dee resented Static. The only thing that was ice cold besides Static’s powers, was his ability to annoy. Bad puns were good ammunition for an instigator. “Enough Static, please.” Dee asked sincerely.

Static crossed his arms, then reverted back to his tiny chao form. Moving around as a chao was easier than as a mobian. “Fine. You should all just chill out.”

Static earned a smacking for that last pun, which Dee and Knuckles happily did together. They each slapped him on the back of his little chao head. Static huffed and grumbled some cusses under his breath. Something about them not appreciating his funny banter and wit he said.

“I didn't need help. I could have handled it all on my own.” Knuckles said before crossing his arms. His warrior pride hurt.

“Sorry.” Dee responded. “Static just wanted to have fun, but I knew you would have won easy.” She added.

“No dawdy?” The eggs stated, saddened their father hadn't showed up.

Dee went over to the egg trio and comforted them. “Aw I’m sure your dad will find you.” She then patted the eggs. The simple pats let her feel just how dense and tough they were. “Wow, these are tough lil ones huh?”

“Dawdy find…DAWDY!” The eggs cried out. They suddenly started rolling, their momentum increasing drastically as they went downhill. With their increasing speed, the eggs plowed through trees and anything that got in their way.

Knuckles simply stood still, flabbergasted. “If they could do that, then how come they couldn't save themselves?”

Dee shrugged. “They sounded like babies, maybe they just got scared.”

“Or they’re pussies.” Static commented rudely.

Dee as if it were a reflex smacked him again, not content with him insulting some poor possibly traumatized infants. She then turned to Knuckles. “So…wanna stay with us for a night? I got food, games, and plenty of places to sleep.”

The echidna contemplated for a moment, coming to a quick decision. “Alright sure, but your little friend here has to behave.” Knuckles stated terms were simple enough in concept.

Dee excitedly agreed. “It’s a deal. I promise you’ll be happy.”

“I dunno…I think I want a little something out of this too.” Static haggled, hoping to get something out of a deal. No groundings, Soul doing his chores for him, something. What he did receive was Dee’s evil eye. A glare without words, warned Static not to ruin this for her. Static nervously gulped and nodded.

From her jacket pocket, Dee pulled out the same device Jay had used to transport back and forth from Angel Island. The small teleporter trinket bears the two tailed insignia of Tails as well as a “Property of Miles Tails Prower” written on it. With Knuckles and Static placing their hands on her shoulders, Dee simply selected the return icon. A yellow flash occurred, and the trio were on their way to the D'azia residence.

“I brought the cake.” A cheerful fox said, flying through an open window. Tails had entered with celebratory coup de grâce. The fox then noticed a horrid smell emitting from Jay, forcing him to cover his nose and keep his distance. Jay grinned, all was going according to plan.

The front door of the D’azia residence was swiftly kicked open, a figure entered the house. Jay, Soul, Enuna, and Tails panicked. Did they just run out of time? It seemed to be so as the party was behind schedule already. The lights in the front were already off in preparation for Dee. The figure strolled in confused at the sudden darkness. The lights suddenly flickered on and streamers tumbled from the sky. An “I’m sorry” banner opened, followed by loud chanting.

“HAPPY HAPPY BIRTHDAY. HAPPY LATE BIRTHDAY TO YOU. I KNOW JAY SCREWED UP. SO HERE IS THE PARTY TO WELCOME YOU DEE, YUP!” The 4 of them sang as cheerful and loud as they could. They had done it, or so they thought. They realized it was Shadow who walked in. Shadow’s face was completely dumbfounded and awkward. He stared deeply towards these four people who pestered him. He had dropped the chips and dip on himself from the startling shock.

“Woops. We really botched that huh?” Enuna stated, filled with embarrassment.

“And Shadow botched the snacks.” Jay angrily added. The humans index finger brushed against Shadows fur, getting a little of the chip dip off of him.

Shadow quickly gripped Jay’s index finger. He followed up by creepily licking the dip off of it. “Do that again, and you’ll be joining the dip.” Shadow then backed off, his throat feeling on fire. “What did you do?!”

Jay grinned. “New form of protection Shads. If you smell bad and taste bad, no one will want to touch you.”

“I thought you said this place was nice Dee. Looks like a total mess.” Knuckles spoke, leaning against the front door.

All attention was towards the front door. Knuckles suddenly appeared without anyone realizing it. How long was he there for? Could Dee be with him? If that’s the case just how long were they watching the carnage unfold?

“I think Jay made an accident mom. Way to ruin your place eh.” Static said. He then floated into the house from behind Knuckles.

Dee followed suit, finally arriving at her place. The first thing she noticed was the apology banner, as well as her friends simply standing still silently. Chips and dip were on the floor as well as on an agitated hedgehog. Shadow was threatening possible violence. Soul was two seconds from being the peace keeper. Yep, this was pretty much to be expected. She couldn't help but laugh.

Jay stepped forward. “Look. I know I really took a long time to prepare this, and I’m really sorry about that. I was late. I procrastinated. I was lazy. I had some rough times. Now this party is practically a disaster.”

Dee closed in on Jay, simply hugging him. Actually doing something for her was very meaningful. It only took a moment for her to figure out the whole thing was Jay’s set up. Meeting Knuckles wasn't the gift alone, and she was grateful for that. Dee had to pull away from Jay though soon after. She coughed a storm once the mosquito repellent smell got to her. That smell was nasty.

Jay rubbed the back of his head, a sweet moment ruined by his side scheming. “Sorry about that. I just got to keep up my defenses.”

Dee sighed and casually entered her living room to avoid the horrid smell. Jay meant well, but this obsession was clearly bothering everyone who wanted to have a good time. Noticing the large juice dispenser placed in the corner for the party, Dee had an idea. She figured in her small home, there were now too many people in the house. It was time to lessen the head count. What better way than to fill out some bellies. Dee wasn't really a trickster, but sometimes even Static’s influence could make her want to play his games. She had to admit it was fun to cause a little anarchy. That’s what made Static more lovable as a free spirit.

Dee met with Static and whispered her plan to his ear. The white and blue chao grinned with delight. His mommy was finally letting him have some real fun. His goody two shoes brother couldn't stop him this time. Static nodded happily and flew off to a nauseated Tails whom was next to Enuna. Both of them suffered the most from their keen sense smell. Static let the fox in on the plan, which he accepted without hesitation. The plan was in motion. Tails moved into position.

Enuna noticed she was left alone now. “Hey where are you guys going?” She watched as Static, Dee, and Tails met up before separating. “Aw what, they’re up to something. No fair I want to know.” Enuna slouched. She pouted being left out of the loop.

Static flew into position. He floated behind Jay. The little chao increased his flight speed, getting ready for his instigation. Static closed in on Jay, gripping his orange shirt. With a fast pull he ripped it clean off. “TOGA TOGA TOGA!” Static cheered, floating off with the shirt he then quickly make shifted into a toga for himself.

Jay scurried after Static, chasing after him like a hot head. “You little shit. You’re gonna pay for that.” Jay tailed Static following outside.

“Static quit bugging sir, I’m going to tell mom!” Soul whined. He then left Knuckles side, trying to find where Dee was.

Knuckles looked on confused wondering what was going on. Though since that person who bugged him before was the one angry, he had to go see what was up. That Static kid might put on a show for him. Better yet, that Jay guy might look like a fool.

Outside the house Jay struggled to catch up with Static. The little chao was too quick for him. Static giggled before dropping the torn up orange kanji shirt. Jay growled, chasing the little bugger off. What Jay didn't know was that he was right in place for an aerial assault. Above him, Statics partner Tails carried the large dispenser from inside Dee’s house. The fox seeing Jay in place, opened the top and poured all its contents out.

From above Jay was suddenly drenched in an orange liquid. It continually poured onto him like a stream at a waterfall. From the smell and taste, it was a sports drink that tasted like orange. Static had set Jay up for a football coach’s dunk. Why exactly would he do that? Nonetheless they made a mess out of the host of the celebration.

Jay’s eyes felt the effect of the beverage, stinging a little. Without knowing where he was headed, his face had a date with a stop sign. A smooching occurred by the sound of the loud *CLANK* “Who did this…Who the fuck did this!” He cried out in anger.

Static lowered himself near Jay’s face. Dee and Knuckles watched the scene unfold from the front door. “I got word there was too many people around, so I aim to cut down on guests.”

Jay rubbed his eyes til his vision returned. Static prepared to freeze the human in case things got out of hand. “What are you talking about? A party needs guests.” The shirtless human asked. “What’s a party without lots of people?”

Static giggled as he was joined by the fox in cahoots with him. Tails dropped the empty container now that it was no use to him. “Parties need to be wild, ain't nothing like running away from being devoured old timer.”

Jay shook his head and laughed, did Static not understand his master plan? “Nice try small fry, my protection makes me inedible.”

The fox kit marched forward to test that theory now. Getting in close, the twin tailed boy licked Jay’s arm, much to his displeasure. Jay tugged his arm away, but a tiny glimmer appeared in the fox boy’s eyes. No words needed to be spoken, the master plan failed. There was only one option left. "You stole my portable teleporter unit without asking. Don't think I didn't know."

Jay looked to Dee who allowed this plan to take place, it hadn't occurred to her originally, but seeing others get devoured might give a certain red echidna a clue. “Run run run as fast as you can, if not you’ll be caught by the little fox man.” Dee chanted. She wanted to get the show on the road already.

Jay shoved Static into Tails arms and made a run for it. He played a game he had no idea he was a part of and lost. The vulpine stood back for a few moments, letting his prey have a head start. A hunt is no fun if it’s too easy. After mentally counting to 10, the fox darted off. A loud yell echoed in the air, calling for help. The party goers laughed at the slapstick.

“I wanna play too!” Enuna stated out loud. Being chased and avoiding being eaten sounded like the best game of tag. “Shadow chase me!” she asked the stoic black hedgehog

The ultimate life form scoffed. “Do I look like some child? I’m not one for games, especially easy ones. Sorry but no thanks.”

Not having any of that, Enuna stooped to groveling. “Please please please…it looks like fun. You've said it yourself you don’t like sharing your food.”

Shadow turned his back on the begging husky. “I don’t play these kinds of games dog.”

The husky sighed with defeat. Nothing else she could do now. Or was there? Enuna grinned. She still had those silver inhibitor rings back at home. “Ya know if you don’t play, I won’t tell you where those silver rings are. Wanna be a stuffed hedgie again?”

Shadow gripped the huskies left arm, dragging Enuna close to him. “Tell me where those things are.”

Enuna with her martial arts training, twisted Shadows arm in an instant. She quickly followed up with a snap judo flip over the shoulder. Shadow was upstaged and embarassed. “Gotta catch me first Shaddy.” She eagerly gloated before sprinting away. The now confident but slightly agitated Shadow giving chase. It was on now.

Soul shook his head. An organized party was ruined. Knuckles was confused as two people he knew were trying to eat others. Wasn't that a last resort? Knuckles himself wasn't shy of devouring others, but usually that was meant for the trespassers that pushed him too far. The red guardian never knew people in the city just did as they pleased. The death toll must be high. Why would his friends harm others like this? Devouring someone is supposed to be the ultimate punishment. At least he thought so. Maybe they regurgitated them real quick?

The chases didn't last long. Once play time was over, the feast had begun. Static floated next to Dee, having a bowl of popcorn on him. The young girl smiled and happily obliged in having some too. Dee patted Static on the head thanking him. The little rascal blushed and kept his head down, liking his mother’s love. Soul was ashamed to find out his mom supported this anarchy, but Soul being the stickler that he is, hates when things don’t go according to plan. He had no choice but to watch Miss Enuna and Sir Jay become snacks for the hedgehog and fox respectively.

Soon enough the two of them were gone. The two close friends of Dee only visible as their forms bulge out the animals who swallowed them. A pair of echoing belches loudly proclaimed to the world that a satisfying hunt had ended. Dee and Static applauded, much to Tails and Shadows confusion. The two looked at each other, and shrugged. Might as well play along they thought. The pair of predators bowed to the applause they received.

“Ruined…all ruined….I was so closed.” Jay had whined in confinement. He helplessly pressed against the stomach walls that had contained him. Unfortunately he just brought pleasure to the two tailed fox.

Enuna rested comfortably within the confines of the spiky black hedgehog. Jay’s whines were audible enough to be picked up by her sensitive ears. “Oh suck it up ya big baby.” The pink husky patted the nearest pulsating flesh, showing her appreciation.

The enlarged fox waved his hand to Dee, waving goodbye as he slowly took off. “See ya later Knuckles. Thanks for the help Static. Oh and bye Dee, I hope you really had a good time.”

Dee waved back as the fox boy was leaving. “You too, have fun digesting that meal of yours.” She continued to wave until the fox kit disappeared from the horizon. She looked to wish the best for Enuna and Shadow, but the ultimate life form had fled while she wasn't looking. She figured Shadow wouldn't care for goodbyes.

Did she say digestion? What is up with this town Knuckles thought? His friends were actually killing people. “Alright what’s going on here? What did you do to my friends? Why are they actively doing this to people? I only ate others as a last resort.”

“Listen old timer.” Static said before flicking the echidna's nose. “Maybe in your time that’s how it went down, but now a days we eat each other all the time. In fact I had my mom as a meal this morning.” Static gestured to his pudgy stomach.

“I am not old!” The red guardian cried out. “I’m 16. What kind of 16 year old is considered an old timer?!”

Dee stepped between the two. If she hadn't her house might become collateral damage for a super powered tussle. “Don’t let Static get under your skin Knuckles. Just follow me and I’ll explain everything.”

Dee grabbed hold of Knuckles right arm and guided him upstairs to her room. Upon entering the red bruiser took notice of the strange devices lying amok. By the look of them, they could be the video games he was told about. There were also some soft looking dolls around that were around too, one of them looking just like him. Guess the off-landers did take a liking to him if he had a toy line.

Dee removed her jacket and shoes, she no longer needed them up in her room. She noticed Knuckles kept his dirt sneakers on, dragging some filth into her room. “Dude, don’t you should take the shoes off, you’re dragging mud up here.”

Knuckles sighed and did what he was told. He had no idea what her game was, but he guessed he could try to play by her rules just this once. He removed his foot wear and placed it in the corner of the room. “Is that good enough?” the red echidna asked sounding somewhat irritated.

The young girl smiled. “Plenty Knux. Now then, you wanna join in your friend’s fun and try me?” A blush formed across her face, embarrassed a little to be asking so formally.

“Sure.” The echidna agreed, without much question or reason much to Dee’s shock.

“Wait really…you don’t have anything to say? You’re just going through with it?” Dee was puzzled he agreed so easily.

Knuckles chuckled and shrugged. “After seeing the crazy guy on the island, transforming chao, super eggs, and two of my friends prowling after two of your friends, why bother trying to think it through? I’m done being cautious.”

Knuckles hoisted up the young human female with one hand, not even breaking a sweat. He had lifted the girl from her left leg, seemingly planning to lower her down at that angle. This felt one of those action movies where the hero was lowered into some dangerous pit. Knuckles jaws parted slowly, allowing his warm breath to graze against Dee’s face. Her glasses quickly fogged up from the echidna’s hot breath. Unfortunately for Dee, it smelled horrible. It’s very unlikely the red guardian had taken care of his hygiene beyond bathing himself. Looks like she’d have to introduce him later to tooth brushes, paste, and breath mints. Dee herself was about to have her own bathing session, though not the kind that gives you a fresh smell.

Dee’s head was slowly lowered into the awaiting maw. The red guardians tongue twitched in anticipation, trying to keep still as Dee’s head was about in reach to be sampled. Knuckles gently lowered the girls head into his mouth, his cheeks now bulging out slightly. His tongue slid across Dee’s face, slowly sampling the girls flavour. It’d been sometime since he swallowed a stubborn interloper, but this was his first willing feast. The red echidna happily enjoyed himself, allowing his tongue to get to know the girl. Dee didn't seem to mind, albeit being slightly tickled.

Knuckles continually lowered his human morsel to the back of his throat, now allowing the girls shoulders to slide into his jaws. With a resounding *GULP*, Dee’s head was tugged into the echidna's esophagus. There Dee’s head was comfortably being dragged down by Knuckles fleshy throat muscles. Strength was something the echidna had in spades, so it was no surprise his throat could bound and drag down prey without too much trouble. Not that he would get any from the willing Dee.

Dee’s face pressed against the red echidna's throat, forming a visible imprint. From the looks of it her eyes were kept shut as well as her mouth. Gotta be careful to not get Knuckles saliva in her mouth or eyes, or else she might get sick. It was at this moment though that Dee realized the temperature change. Knuckles breath was warm, the interior of his maw was warmer, and Knuckles throat upped the heat further. Without a doubt once she neared Knuckles awaiting stomach, things would be pretty toasty.

On the outside Knuckles eyes were sealed shut. He seemed to be really enjoying himself, just imagining the flavour of his prey into some pictured form. While doing this he engulfed the young girls’ chest, while prepping her shoulders to slide down his awaiting throat. Knuckles couldn't help but sink his teeth lightly into the human. He hadn't broken her skin, but Dee could very well feel the pressure being applied to her. Knuckles had better not be trying anything funny by nibbling there of all places. Static and Soul were watching within the bedroom closet. If Knuckles tried any funny business, they’d jump to their mothers’ aid.

Dee’s shoulders entered the scarlet strikers throat. With that her arms were now pinned to their sides. The positioning felt a little awkward to Dee. Perhaps she should have had her hands swallowed first instead of starting with her head. Her head though was just about to get a view of the bruisers growling acid sack. Lo and behold it came into view once knuckles stomach had opened up for her arrival. Now things were really beginning to feel toasty. Low audible gurgles Dee could hear now, probably signifying Knuckles stomach activity, as well as possibly his hunger.

On the outside Knuckles moved onto his morsels stomach. He sampled it by maneuvering his tongue under the young girl's shirt. He could feel his meal inside wriggle each time his tongue lapsed around her skin. By doing this, Dee wiggled herself down into the echidna’s stomach. Her hair touched down into the saliva pool sloshing at the bottom of the guardian’s belly. Dee’s glasses at this point were so foggy from the heat, she was practically blind even with her glasses on. She took them off her face as her head took a moist dunk in the swaying fluids of her devourer's moist holding cell.

Knuckles sat on Dee’s bed as he was getting close to finishing up. He could feel his stomach already bulging out. With his free left hand, he poked and rubbed the small bulge as it slowly began increasing in size. Helping his stomach grow even further, the strong echidna gulped down Dee’s stomach, allowing it to slide down his throat. Her stomach would fill his, and allow for him to effortlessly take care of what was left of the tanned girl. He sighed as he felt the large lump in his throat enter his awaiting belly. From this point on that meant only the girls waist and legs remained. A simple action ought to finish off his meal. Knuckles was in a bedroom and getting tired. No better place to rest after he was done.

Sounds inside Knuckles stomach really started to echo now. Dee could not only feel, but hear the satisfied echidna slurp up her legs like noodles. She giggled at the feeling of his lips vibrating against her very skin. The slurping was followed by several small swallows, which lowered the pressure of Knuckles throat muscles on her body. Dee could now inch herself comfortably against her idols welcoming fleshy walls, and rest in a less stressful position. Dee watched as her legs slowly joined her, causing her to be forced into a semi fetal position. Knuckles had let go of her, now no longer needing balance his snack in an easy to devour position.

Knuckles reached Dee’s feet, the last of the girl that hadn't been swallowed. He was sporting a gargantuan stomach considering the girl was almost 2ft taller than him. He scratched his stomach as he grazed his tongue against the last of the human. Dee flailed about inside him, giving his stomach pleasurable stretches. He groaned in pleasure, allowing the human girl to wriggle around a little more. Once he had enough of Dee’s kicking, he tilted his head back and swallowed one last time. The girls feet slid to the back of his throat, then soothingly sank down deeper and deeper as one last visible lump on echidna bruisers neck.

Dee’s feet joined her within the sauna like stomach, splashing in the pool of saliva. She had finally gotten what she wanted. Jay actually came through for her, at least in setting this meeting up. The sounds of growling, gurgling, sloshing, were music to the teens ears. Knuckles stomach was different than Silvers. Knuckles was more tough and defined. It was only fitting for a naturally strong animal with great physical power. Dee patted Knuckles stomach walls as a thank you. They trembled as her hand pressed against them. She wondered if she did something wrong. Knuckles stomach shook, as if it looked sick. Did she taste bad? That would be a terrible thing if that were to be true.

“UUUUUUUURRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRPPPPPPPPP!”

Dee was soaked from the sudden eruption of pressure. Knuckles loud belch shook the very confines of her stomach prison, splashing saliva and stomach juices all over her face. It had even gotten into her eyes. Dee was wearing protection so how’d that happen? After feeling around her face, as well as the confinements of her new stomach home, it seemed her glasses were gone. They must have been belched out by Knuckles. Dee didn't mind though. It’s not like she needed to see Knuckles stomach clearly. Feeling it was plenty good for her.

Knuckles patted his stomach as gracefully as a glutton could. For the first time in a while, Knux opened his eyes. He had noticed he accidentally ejected the girl’s glasses from his system. “Sorry about the glasses, musta got carried away.”

Dee smiled as warmly as the innards of Knuckles tummy. “It’s ok. I’m sure they’re fine.” She then rubbed his stomach walls some more, much to his delight.

“So then, you’ll be fine in there URRRRRRRRP…excuse me.” Knuckles responded, still feeling his new found roundness.

Dee laughed at the interruption, then reassured the chunky knucklehead. “Yes I’ll be fine. I can’t really explain but just say Tails science magic or something reforms our bodies after digestion.”

Knuckles frowned from that statement. “Are you making fun of me cause I might not understand the specifics?” He stopped feeling his gut.

“What no. I seriously don’t even get how it works. Neither does anyone who’s not a genius. I doubt Sonic or most others really understand.” Dee panicked a little from the tone of her voice. Hurting Knuckles intelligence was the last thing she wanted to do, especially since he’s treated by a lot of people as a dumbass.

Knuckles smiled, believing her words. He then saw two familiar chaos bring an entire cake for him. Soul and Static brung him an after meal snack apparently. “Down the hatch for mom.” They said as together they shoved a whole cake into the echidna’s mouth. Knuckles arms swung around, nearly choking on the big pastry. After one large gulp though, he managed to swallow the cake whole.

Dee wondered what was happening, til a cake literally dropped on her head. “Is that a cake?” She asked.

Soul and Static laughed. For once the two got along today. “You’re welcome mom.” They said before floating out of the room.

“Weird kids URRRP!” Knuckles passed out a little more air to settle his stomach.

Even while being covered in a frosting treat, she still loved the boys. “Yeah, they’re all pretty weird.”

Knuckles laid back in Dee’s bed, resting his head on her pillow. He patted his stomach a few more times, and then shut his eyes once more. He put his legs under the girls covers, and slightly covered his massive girth. Dee’s bed seemed to luckily accommodate the two of them. Knuckles allowed himself to fall asleep, as well trust in the girls words. If she could really take it, she’d survive his stomach. He doubted she’d lie to him.

Dee rested as well, allowing the breezing heat to lull her into a deep sleep. She prepared herself for when the red guardians stomach acids got to work on her body. Soon she’d satiate the echidna she favoured so much. At least the echidna that wasn't Souls mobian form. She nodded off as Knuckles belly got to work on her.

Over the next few hours, Knuckles stomach softened the girl, and broke her down peacefully. On the outside his large red stomach slowly grew smaller and smaller. Low growls and churning echoed within Dee’s room. Small bulges formed on his belly as it gurgled up the meat inside. If Knux's stomach could talk, it'd probably thank their master. Soon enough the girl was nothing more than flab on the echidna’s gut. Fat that would be worked off of his body pretty quickly. After all Knuckles had to keep himself in shape at all times. A smirk remained on Knuckles face throughout the night.

The End.......................................................................?











Jay had been reformed in his home an hour prior. He had finally got out of the two tailed foxes stomach. Though the mosquito spray plan didn't work out, it still worked to a pretty effective degree. Maybe he should just admit to enjoying himself being devoured, and then people wouldn't be so crazed to mess with him as if he were a walking treat. If he did, perhaps then he wouldn't be desirable as unwilling prey no more. Though if he did that, Jay felt he’d be just another tool. No way he’d lower himself to the level of his friends, even if he had to remain having a metaphorical stick up his ass.

“I swear I’m gonna have to bring in something as drastic as laxatives.” Jay thought to himself. The results of that idea could be pretty disgusting.

*CRASH*

The walls of Jay’s home had been busted open, Jay screamed in fear. “HOLY SHIT I’M UNDER ATTACK!”

Jay dashed looked for a nearby phone. He needed to call someone for help and fast. Have one of those mobian guys protect him for once, and not with their stomachs. Jay grabbed the nearest phone and was about to dial for someone. However the sound of something rolling filled his ears. Was this assailant on roller blades, a skateboard? Either way they’d look pretty ridiculous if that were the case. The the assailant came into view. The person coming in was actually...3 intruders?

Jay stood still, confused. People weren't even coming towards him, but 3 eggs. A golden, silver, and bronze coloured eggs. “What the hell is this? A bunch of eggs are attacking me?” Jay was astounded. These eggs could be tougher than they look. Either someone busted the house open and threw them in, or they did it themselves. As silly as it would be for eggs to do that, the holes in the house were tiny, matching the eggs' sizes.

The eggs heard Jay’s voice, and stopped rolling. Jay gazed upon them in confusion. Instead of rolling, they stared hopping now. Hopping eggs? How ludicrous. They hopped over to the bewildered human like they came straight out of a cartoon. The gold egg tapped against Jay’s right leg. Afterwards it had began to crack. Popping out was a bizarre tiny golden creature. It reminded Jay very much of the chao Dee had looked over. This one seemed to be masculine.

The silver egg bumped against Jay’s left leg, and the same thing occurred with that egg as well. A different chao emerged from the egg. A silver chao this time, with a different look to it. This one seemed to be female. She crawled over to the gold chao, staying close to it. Once together they looked upon the bronze egg which bumped into a table before touching Jay's left foot.

The table the bronze egg had touched wobbled. A pair of aviator glasses tumbled and dropped upon the remaining egg. Like the other two, the bronze egg hatched a third chao. Obviously following the colour pattern, this one was bronze coloured. All 3 of these tykes were now awakened out of their protective eggs.

The three chao then crawled over to Jay who just stood there bamboozled. The three chao crawled with bronze one accidentally crawling into the aviator glasses. The Bronze one wore them like as if he were a badass baby. They all were a bunch of newborns. The newborns property damage seemed to be minor, but Jay still didn't feel happy about any damage. If these chao were older kids or adults, Jay would probably have screamed by now. However their eyes seemed to glisten at Jay’s mere sight for some reason. The trio held onto Jay, hugging and nestling into his pants.

“DAWDY!” They shouted gleefully. Their long quest was finally over.

“What the fu…”

TO BE CONTINUED…


COMMENT FROM AUTHOR

We have a record breaker folks. 10.5 thousands words. The new reigning champion of long stories. I owed  knuxandsilverfan a gift way back, but had some complications. One of them being two other celebratory stories too. Next time I should get all these done ahead of time so I never have to worry about being late again. Still didn't take 9 month's like another story I promised another friend.

Also holy shit we've come to a close with those hints. Obvious to some or not, a pair of chao kids are now part of my written universe. Jay is officially a parent. Bio's will come out sometime soon of these 3 new characters. They will be bringing forth their own stories that will include Sonic characters or feature more original characters that don't rely on Sonic ones at all. These 3 characters became my pride and joy over roleplays with Dee, and I'm finally happy to introduce them into my fictional written canon.
