"Good afternoon, Echidna, this is such a fine day, is it not?"

- @doctor-starline

“What do you want. I stayed away platypus.”

"Ah, no time for small talk with you, is there?"

He would find the doctor calling a flicky over, for some reason the bird willingly resting on his shoulder.

"No, you did stay away, I'll give you that. But that doesn't mean I like you blabbing about me like that."

“You should have clarified then platypus. Otherwise I would’ve kept my mouth shut to, besides not like I gave much advice. I assume she went to Egghead.”

“I don’t like the small talk. Cut to the chase. I don’t have the patience to deal with your mind games.”

"Well, I doubted that you had the intelligence to spell it out so simply for the wolf. I should have been paying much more attention to you, Echidna."

He brushed the bird off, approaching the echidna.

"They went for a different asset of mine. One I can not let slip from my grasp. And in turn cost me that asset."

With a wave of his hand, the sounds of the critters disappeared from the air, just the stale quiet of the flowing water without the chorus of the animals adding to the sound.

"No contact with anyone. Whatsoever. If someone invites themselves on your island? Get them off. Without conversation."

“I don’t appreciate you coming up here disturbing my peace to threaten me. I am an Echidna warrior. I will not be bossed around so easily.”

The echidna growled. He was sick of always being isolated. He did of what the platypus asked. How dare he come back and bark out more orders.

"I mean- you could do what I say, or me and my friend could mark you down as a "problem;" and do you really want that?"

He sized up the echidna, using one glitching hand to tilt the other's chin up.

"I mean, from a science standpoint, you are a phenomenal specimen. Maybe I should have used you instead of the fox..."

The echidna immediately goes to punch the other in the stomach for even touching him

“Get your hands off me Platypus!”

He froze for a moment

“What did you do to the fox?!”

"What I do is none of your business, remember?"

At the contact, the illusion broke up, reforming with the platypus sitting atop the emerald.

"If you hadn't proven you can't be trusted with information, then maybe you'd get to know, dearie."

“Fine I’ll stay up here. Don’t tell me. And get off you may not be the real you physically on my people’s emerald but you show disrespect on my people.”

“What do you want. I stayed away platypus.”

A faint whirring sound came from the distance. Before the echidna could question it, the source of it was revealed.

A familiar face was using a Hover Wispon to reach the island. Well, a familiar, obstructed face, at least.

Stepping foot onto the island, Whisper kept a healthy distance away from the emerald as she took off the mask.

“I do not believe we have spoken much. I hope I’m not being intrusive, I wanted to speak with you for a moment, if that is okay.”

<@quietwhispering>

“CAN YOU ALL LEAVE ME ALONE ALREADY!”

The echidna snapped and jumped off the emerald. Staring at the other, he once again gets in a fighting stance. It’ll take a lot to get through to his thick skull

“…is everything alright? Did someone visit before me?”

Whisper tilted her head in confusion, standing perfectly still and barely reacting to the fighting stance.

“Do you…do you wish to talk about it?”

“No, no I do not. First white hedgehog appears, then platypus now whatever the hell you are.”

“Wolf. And I apologize, I was unaware that you were being bombarded with vistor- …platypus? Starline was up here?”

Well, that’s mildly concerning. Very concerning, actually.

“-but first and foremost, are you…ok?”

The echidna jumps back up onto the emerald and lounges

“I’m more then fine. I’m not involved much in whatever is going on. And before you ask, I’m not going to help. My peoples emerald is more than whatever this is. It’s not worth it wolf.”

“I don’t require your help. Well, that’s- a lie, actually, but I did not come here to ask for your direct assistance. Nor for your emerald. I just wished to know what you have heard, in case you know something I didn’t. I apologize if my presence is an inconvenience, though I am glad you are doing ok.”

The wolf leaned on her gun a bit. She knew better than to ask the echidna to leave his post for anything that wasn’t a world ending disaster.

“And…I would like a bit of advice. You organized an army, so I would like to know what you would do in my current situation.”

Whisper reluctantly admits. She hates asking for help. Or advice. Or any kind of assistance.

Silence filled the air for a moment

“All I know he is trying to separate me from all of you. Threatened to take my peoples emerald. I can only assume he is trying to split all of us apart. I don’t think an army will work. He’s been picking people out like petals on a rose.”

The echidna clears his throat

“I failed my army. If you lead an army in, they aren’t making it out. You need to think independently. Starline will take your men 1 by 1. Independence isn’t as bad as you’d think. It helps strengthen the mind, problem solving. Our whole team from I heard is a mess or missing. Egghead is tinker? If you can get to him maybe he would be of more assistance if he snaps out of it. But no one is trust worthy. No one. Don’t listen or talk to anyone unless you know truthfully it’s them.”

He sighs

“I was told I can’t leave the island. I can’t help further but it’s for the best.”

“I don’t have the patience to run an army.”

Whisper jests dryly, rubbing her temple.

“The advice is appreciated, truly. I am sorry to hear of the bind you are in, but just speaking to you has been more helpful than I thought it would be.”

Silver That’s all who she knows for a fact are, well, them. That’s who she trusts right now. There are only two people that she needs to check if they are not compromised.

“I’ll come to visit when this is all over.”

A smile of gratitude from the wolf.

The echidna just nods and watches the other

“Goodluck wolf, I hope all works out.”

A faint whirring sound came from the distance. Before the echidna could question it, the source of it was revealed.

The echidna snapped and jumped off the emerald. Staring at the other, he once again gets in a fighting stance. It’ll take a lot to get through to his thick skull

a cyan streak speeds toward angel island, stopping once it gets right above the master emerald’s shrine. From the cyan glow drops a familiar white hedgehog, with said hedgehog walking up to speak with the guardian. “Hey knux! It’s been a while, huh? I need to talk to you about something. Somethings? Whatever. I just need to talk.”

@hedgehogheroes3 (In case you didn’t know, I’m the new silver in chaotic canon)

The echidna jumped down and stared at the hedgehog, he gets in a fighting stance

“Get away from the emerald hedgehog. You are not welcomed. You are to leave.”

silver immediately raises his hands defensively, not trying to provoke knuckles into a fight. “Wait wait wait! It’s just me, silver! Not a threat, definitely not!”

“I do not wish to speak with you hedgehog. You are to leave. I am not going to stop for any mind games.”

The echidna swings a punch. He doesn’t seem very pleased. What’s causing him to act out? Strange.

as knuckles throws the punch, silver’s expression hardens, a scowl crossing his face. He’s going to have to calm down his friend somehow. He then holds out his hand, a cyan energy enveloping knuckles’ fist, stopping it in its tracks. “Knuckles, stop! It’s me, silver! We’re friends! I’m not playing any mind games, I promise!”

“Stop this! Leave! I am not looking to hang out and talk with ‘friends’ it’s of no point.”

The echidna tries to move his arm, his body straining

“We are not friends if one is always left out of picture. I have no interest in friends.”

The Cyan energy starts to cover the entirety of the echidna’s body, silver’s psychokinesis straining to keep him still. “Listen to yourself! I don’t want to leave any of those I care about out of the picture! That’s why I came to you! Just stand down so we can talk this out!”

“Why is it you.”

The echidna puts his head down

“I rarely interact with you. Yet your the hedgehog that’s going to waltz up here and tell me things..?”

The echidnas anger was clearly visible. He was full of betrayal and anger

“Everytime I give in. It doesn’t go well. I’m destined to be alone guarding this stone. I don’t need to be told of what’s going on. I don’t care. As long as the master emerald is fine, I am not bothered in your problems.”

as silver listened to knuckles speak, he couldn’t help but get the feeling the he was doing something wrong. But he just wanted to help hid friend… so he would. Slowly, the cyan glow around the echidna recedes as silver holds out his hand, a smile on his face. “You don’t have to do everything alone. You don’t have to shield yourself from the rest of the world thinking something might go wrong. You have friends, knuckles. Dozens of friends that have put their trust in you time and time again. Maybe now, you just need to trust them. Trust me.”

The echidna scoffed

“Trust? To just be downplayed, avoided? I’m never alerted of issues going on. I wouldn’t have even know. If the issue didn’t come to me first. Sure the fox would’ve said something eventually but that was because the blue hedgehog wasn’t around.”

“I the great echidna warrior am never needed. My only task is to protect my people’s stone. I don’t have time to deep dive further into this bullshit”

He scoffs again and crossed his arms letting out a forced laugh

“I’d have better odds getting info from egghead.be I’m told anything.”

silver’s eyes narrow in irritation, barring his teeth in anger. “Are you serious right now?! Are you not going to mention how half the problems on this planet were only solved because you were there? We’ve never tried to betray or downplay you or your responsibility! What’s gotten into you!?” Silver walks closer to knuckles until he’s face to face with the warrior.

“As of late no one has come to visit. And when they do, it’s nothing but old news. I the great echidna warrior has ran out of usefulness to the other hedgehog and fox. It’s not my job to worry anymore, regardless of what you say is true. It doesn’t change the current.”

silver grabs knuckles’ arm, pulling him back as he tries to talk to him, his voice more sincere. “Do I look like Sonic or tails? I was in the future! I just came back two days ago! Right after whisper, you were the second person I came to see. I just really need your help right now knux. Even if you’re not going to speak, just listen. Please?” Silver asks with a sincere need for help, perhaps even a sliver of sadness in his plea.

Maybe you'd be better informed if you reached more often? Of course, can't expect a "great echidna warrior" to do too much thinking of his own. Like a stray thought, the words pierced through the echidna's skull with a voice eerily similar to the hedgehog before him. You couldn't even fight a war without sacrificing your entire army in a fruitless show of bravado.

The echidna drops momentarily

“Listen..? LISTEN..? I… fine I’ll liste-“

He suddenly flinched back and snarled, his eyes narrowing

“What the hell did you just say to me? You expect me to help and listen as you just disrespected me??”

silver scratches his head, confused at knuckles’ yelling and accusation of disrespectfulness. “Disrespectful? I’ve done nothing but try my best to respect you this entire conversation! What are you talking about!?”

“Did you not just say I had to sacrifice my people?”

He grits his teeth

“That war wasn’t my choice. I’d never sacrifice all my people. Do you truly think I want to be alone for the rest of my life as the last echidna??”

“There is no one else here.”

silver takes a step back as knuckles starts yelling, once again raising his hands, trying to calm the echidna down. “Are you sure? I-I didn’t say anything about your people, it must’ve been someone else!”

“You got one more chance to speak.”

silver takes a long exhale as knuckles allows him to speak, sitting down on one of the steps leading up to the alter, placing his hand on his knee. “Thank you knuckles, genuinely. But… the reason I’m here is because I don’t know why I’m here. As I’m sure you know by now, I’m only brought to the past when something is wrong. But now, I don’t know. At least, I didn’t. Until my talk with whisper.” Silver stands up, walking closer to knuckles, standing face to face with his friend. “She said that starline is back. And that he might be why I’m here. But after everything he’s caused, what could he be plotting that’s so bad, I need to be here?” He places his right hand on his left forearm, rubbing in anxiously. “I’m scared, knuckles. And I don’t know what to do.”

"Ah, so you're the future boy I remember so little about. Didn't leave a lasting impact."

If Infinite was going to mess with Knuckles, then Starline was going to mess with Silver. He was already bored of the echidna anyhow. This should be fun.

"Good to know my name strikes fear in the hearts of figures like little old you. The last of the big three still standing"

Starline was sitting atop of the Master Emerald, only visible or audible to the light hedgehog, smiling softly to himself.

“Unfortunately hedgehog, I’m not who you should speak of this. I barely know what is going on around here. All I know is he wanted me to stay back. And I have no issue doing that. He threatened to take my peoples stone away. All I can assume is he wants everyone or atleast whomever he can get out of the way, gone.”

Silver gestured to knuckles then toward the master emerald, pointing to something that should be on top of it. “Knuckles, look! He’s here!” Little did silver know, that he was the only one seeing the doctor.

Starline gave a little wave, knowing full well the hedgehog looked like an idiot.

Knuckles turns, and he’s confused, he then looks back

“No one is there hedgehog. And even if he was I am not allowed to help.”

silver starts to look at starline then back at knuckles, sure that the platypus is right there! He then sighs, knowing knuckles words are. “Yeah, you’re right. But he is there! I’ll just have to deal with him alone.” Silver then starts walking up to the master emerald, determined to end starline’s plans, or so he thinks…

“Hey! Get away from the emerald hedgehog!”

He rushes and gets between silver and the emerald, ready to fight

silver stops on his tracks, not wanting to fight knuckles again. He then points behind knuckles, speaking with force. “Knuckles, I can’t just let him take your emerald! Even if you can’t do anything to him, I can! I have to stop him!”

"Silver, Dearie. What you don't understand is just another pawn in my game of chess. Mine to move and manipulate, mine to set the board up how I desire. And how do you expect to win when each piece on your side thinks for themselves? If you all make moves of your own, there's no coherency. Just blunder after blunder until you find yourself in a checkmate."

He stood up, putting his arm on the echidna's shoulder, the illusion of him leaning on Knuckles present in the moment, despite the other's lack of reaction.

“Your the only one that’s near my emerald!!! Get away silver.”

The echidna was loosing his patience

a cyan streak speeds toward angel island, stopping once it gets right above the master emerald’s shrine. From the cyan glow drops a familiar white hedgehog, with said hedgehog walking up to speak with the guardian. “Hey knux! It’s been a while, huh? I need to talk to you about something. Somethings? Whatever. I just need to talk.”

silver takes a long exhale as knuckles allows him to speak, sitting down on one of the steps leading up to the alter, placing his hand on his knee. “Thank you knuckles, genuinely. But… the reason I’m here is because I don’t know why I’m here. As I’m sure you know by now, I’m only brought to the past when something is wrong. But now, I don’t know. At least, I didn’t. Until my talk with whisper.” Silver stands up, walking closer to knuckles, standing face to face with his friend. “She said that starline is back. And that he might be why I’m here. But after everything he’s caused, what could he be plotting that’s so bad, I need to be here?” He places his right hand on his left forearm, rubbing in anxiously. “I’m scared, knuckles. And I don’t know what to do.”

"Ah, so you're the future boy I remember so little about. Didn't leave a lasting impact."

If Infinite was going to mess with Knuckles, then Starline was going to mess with Silver. He was already bored of the echidna anyhow. This should be fun.

"Good to know my name strikes fear in the hearts of figures like little old you. The last of the big three still standing"

Starline was sitting atop of the Master Emerald, only visible or audible to the light hedgehog, smiling softly to himself.

“Unfortunately hedgehog, I’m not who you should speak of this. I barely know what is going on around here. All I know is he wanted me to stay back. And I have no issue doing that. He threatened to take my peoples stone away. All I can assume is he wants everyone or atleast whomever he can get out of the way, gone.”

Silver gestured to knuckles then toward the master emerald, pointing to something that should be on top of it. “Knuckles, look! He’s here!” Little did silver know, that he was the only one seeing the doctor.

Starline gave a little wave, knowing full well the hedgehog looked like an idiot.

Knuckles turns, and he’s confused, he then looks back

“No one is there hedgehog. And even if he was I am not allowed to help.”

silver starts to look at starline then back at knuckles, sure that the platypus is right there! He then sighs, knowing knuckles words are. “Yeah, you’re right. But he is there! I’ll just have to deal with him alone.” Silver then starts walking up to the master emerald, determined to end starline’s plans, or so he thinks…

“Hey! Get away from the emerald hedgehog!”

He rushes and gets between silver and the emerald, ready to fight

a cyan streak speeds toward angel island, stopping once it gets right above the master emerald’s shrine. From the cyan glow drops a familiar white hedgehog, with said hedgehog walking up to speak with the guardian. “Hey knux! It’s been a while, huh? I need to talk to you about something. Somethings? Whatever. I just need to talk.”

@hedgehogheroes3 (In case you didn’t know, I’m the new silver in chaotic canon)

The echidna jumped down and stared at the hedgehog, he gets in a fighting stance

“Get away from the emerald hedgehog. You are not welcomed. You are to leave.”

silver immediately raises his hands defensively, not trying to provoke knuckles into a fight. “Wait wait wait! It’s just me, silver! Not a threat, definitely not!”

“I do not wish to speak with you hedgehog. You are to leave. I am not going to stop for any mind games.”

The echidna swings a punch. He doesn’t seem very pleased. What’s causing him to act out? Strange.

as knuckles throws the punch, silver’s expression hardens, a scowl crossing his face. He’s going to have to calm down his friend somehow. He then holds out his hand, a cyan energy enveloping knuckles’ fist, stopping it in its tracks. “Knuckles, stop! It’s me, silver! We’re friends! I’m not playing any mind games, I promise!”

“Stop this! Leave! I am not looking to hang out and talk with ‘friends’ it’s of no point.”

The echidna tries to move his arm, his body straining

“We are not friends if one is always left out of picture. I have no interest in friends.”

The Cyan energy starts to cover the entirety of the echidna’s body, silver’s psychokinesis straining to keep him still. “Listen to yourself! I don’t want to leave any of those I care about out of the picture! That’s why I came to you! Just stand down so we can talk this out!”

“Why is it you.”

The echidna puts his head down

“I rarely interact with you. Yet your the hedgehog that’s going to waltz up here and tell me things..?”

The echidnas anger was clearly visible. He was full of betrayal and anger

“Everytime I give in. It doesn’t go well. I’m destined to be alone guarding this stone. I don’t need to be told of what’s going on. I don’t care. As long as the master emerald is fine, I am not bothered in your problems.”

as silver listened to knuckles speak, he couldn’t help but get the feeling the he was doing something wrong. But he just wanted to help hid friend… so he would. Slowly, the cyan glow around the echidna recedes as silver holds out his hand, a smile on his face. “You don’t have to do everything alone. You don’t have to shield yourself from the rest of the world thinking something might go wrong. You have friends, knuckles. Dozens of friends that have put their trust in you time and time again. Maybe now, you just need to trust them. Trust me.”

The echidna scoffed

“Trust? To just be downplayed, avoided? I’m never alerted of issues going on. I wouldn’t have even know. If the issue didn’t come to me first. Sure the fox would’ve said something eventually but that was because the blue hedgehog wasn’t around.”

“I the great echidna warrior am never needed. My only task is to protect my people’s stone. I don’t have time to deep dive further into this bullshit”

He scoffs again and crossed his arms letting out a forced laugh

“I’d have better odds getting info from egghead.be I’m told anything.”

silver’s eyes narrow in irritation, barring his teeth in anger. “Are you serious right now?! Are you not going to mention how half the problems on this planet were only solved because you were there? We’ve never tried to betray or downplay you or your responsibility! What’s gotten into you!?” Silver walks closer to knuckles until he’s face to face with the warrior.

“As of late no one has come to visit. And when they do, it’s nothing but old news. I the great echidna warrior has ran out of usefulness to the other hedgehog and fox. It’s not my job to worry anymore, regardless of what you say is true. It doesn’t change the current.”

silver grabs knuckles’ arm, pulling him back as he tries to talk to him, his voice more sincere. “Do I look like Sonic or tails? I was in the future! I just came back two days ago! Right after whisper, you were the second person I came to see. I just really need your help right now knux. Even if you’re not going to speak, just listen. Please?” Silver asks with a sincere need for help, perhaps even a sliver of sadness in his plea.

Maybe you'd be better informed if you reached more often? Of course, can't expect a "great echidna warrior" to do too much thinking of his own. Like a stray thought, the words pierced through the echidna's skull with a voice eerily similar to the hedgehog before him. You couldn't even fight a war without sacrificing your entire army in a fruitless show of bravado.

The echidna drops momentarily

“Listen..? LISTEN..? I… fine I’ll liste-“

He suddenly flinched back and snarled, his eyes narrowing

“What the hell did you just say to me? You expect me to help and listen as you just disrespected me??”

silver scratches his head, confused at knuckles’ yelling and accusation of disrespectfulness. “Disrespectful? I’ve done nothing but try my best to respect you this entire conversation! What are you talking about!?”

“Did you not just say I had to sacrifice my people?”

He grits his teeth

“That war wasn’t my choice. I’d never sacrifice all my people. Do you truly think I want to be alone for the rest of my life as the last echidna??”

“There is no one else here.”

silver takes a step back as knuckles starts yelling, once again raising his hands, trying to calm the echidna down. “Are you sure? I-I didn’t say anything about your people, it must’ve been someone else!”

“You got one more chance to speak.”
