Sonic Riders (a story and game) Part 53 The Battle Ends
*The dark,shadowy aura returns and surrounds Knuckles' body* (Do you remember the dark,shadowy aura? It's in the last entry below.) *Shadow backs off from Knuckles* Eggman (pressing buttons) : Shadow,hold him off while I do something! Shadow: Right! Shadow (thinking) : Although,I might not be able to. His power seems to match my power. But I will not let him beat me again! *Shadow shoots 3 yellow stars at Knuckles,but they bounce off him* Shadow: No way! *Shadow starts charging at Knuckles,but the dark,shadowy aura hits him* During th fight......... Sonic (shouting) : Jenny! I need you to get me to Eggman's ship! Jenny (flying towards Sonic) : Coming! Rouge (peeking inside) : ......... Rouge's Memory- Knuckles: It's just a bruise. I'll be okay. Rouge (thinking) : Hopefully. Present- Rouge (thinking) : I guess he was wrong. Now he looks so possessed. *Rouge sees Knuckles' tail glowing black* Rouge (thinking) : I've got to make that glowing stop. I think that's how he's getting controlled. *Rouge doubtfully gusts at Knuckles' tail,but the dark,shadowy aura stops it* Rouge (thinking) : I think something is protecting it so he won't be unpossessed. But I don't think unpossessed is a word. To the main room....... Tails: Amy,start up the claws! Amy (pressing a button) : Got it! *Large claws come out of the bottom of the Blue Typhoon* *The claws grab Eggman's ship and pulls it toward them* *Missiles shoot at Eggman's ship* Rouge: Ahhhh!!!!! Rouge (thinking) : What are they thinking?! Knuckles and I are still on Eggman's ship! *Rouge looks inside* Eggman (pressing buttons) : Lasers,missiles,bombs,robots! *Eggman fires all those things at Knuckles,but Knuckles knocks all of it away with a push of his hand* *Knuckles walks toward Eggman* Eggman: Ahhhhh!!!! Shadow-help! *Shadow goes in front of Eggman* Shadow: You want a fight? Go against me. *Knuckles smiles an evil smile,and the aura makes a fist and hits Shadow* (Reminder-Knuckles is possessed.) Rouge (thinking) : I think since he touched the dark object,maybe there is a shadow figure possessing him. Dark's weakness is light,but I don't have any light. Besides-I think it's shadow aura not a dark aura. *She looks at Knuckles closely,and sees whenever Knuckles strikes the aura does it for him and goes away from him* Rouge (thinking) : Maybe when he strikes,I'll grab his tail. Sonic (on Jenny) : Rouge! Rouge: Sonic,I think I know how to turn Knuckles back to normal! Jenny (flying,Sonic on her) : All right! *Jenny lands in front of Rouge,and Rouge whispers in Sonic's ear* *Sonic waits* To the main room (Again) ........ Chris: Tails,we can't shoot anymore! Sonic,Rouge,Jenny,and Knuckles are on Eggman's ship! Cream: What's going to happen? Tails: Looks like all we can do is wait. Cosmo: We have to at least purify Knuckles. That way,we can be a team again. Big: Purify? Froggy: Ribbit ribbit ribbit? (Translation-What does that mean?) Tails: Purify means to turn bad into good. Espio (meditating) : I already knew that. Vector: Espio,how could you meditate at a time like this?! Charmy (confused) : Uh,at a time like what Vector? *Vector covers his face* Amy (thinking) : This is really pressuring. To Eggman's ship........... *The dark,shadowy aura strikes Shadow again,and Sonic runs up to Knuckles' tail and pulls it* (That may be wierd,but that was the only thing I could think of!) *The dark,shadowy aura disappears,and Knuckles turns back to normal* (The tip of his tail is still black.) Knuckles: Huh? What happened? Sonic (letting go of Knuckles' tail) : Glad you're back,Knuckles. Knuckles: Back from what? And how did I get into Eggman's ship? Jenny: It's a long story,Knuckles. We'll tell you on our way back. Sonic: Rouge was the one who helped most of all-besides Jenny. *Rouge blushes* Knuckles: Rouge? Eggman: Yuck! I hate mushy parts! Get out of here-NOW! *They go out of Eggman's ship and fly towards the Blue Typhoon* (Sonic and Knuckles ride on Jenny's back.) *The claws let go of Eggman's ship. Shadow: Doctor,I've never seen you like that. Eggman: Me,neither. I guess it just happened. Well,it looks like nobody won. At least,Knuckles went back to normal-or did he? Will he do it again at a certain time? Or will it never happen again? That Eggman was ridiculous to launch an attack. Eggman: Hey! I tell you-I have an IQ of 300 you know! Be quiet,Eggman. See what happens at the next part of Sonic Riders!
