While Knuckles will be Guardian of Angel Island first and foremost, he'll answer the call to action when his friends need him the most. More often than not, this late arrival often turns the tide of the battle.

Of course, while the echidna's away, the bat will play...and with all her lovely little spy gadgets, she's not above using her surveilance drone's camera to aid in a playful text towards the sworn protector of the one jewel that she never seems to snatch away...

CREATOR'S NOTES:

Surprise! I'm not dead! Just been gaming, working, and fooling around with writing projects. But having recently found my way to the Patreon page of Valorlynz, I wanted to celebrate some of the models I downloaded by seeing how their version of Rouge plays out on SFM.

So far, I'm liking the results. But will Knuckles...?
