Knuckles the Echidna, the last of his kind.

The name's Knuckles. I guard the Master Emerald. Y'know...the thing that keeps this place from falling into the ocean? You'd better not be one of Robotnik's cronies or else you're mince meat, alright? But, other than that, I hope you don't mind talkin' to me. Oh, and watch out for the traps one the way out. ( Indie RP blog for an AU Classic Knuckles based on the askcsonic blog. Feel free to follow and what not, but this won't be as active as Sonic's. Also this is a side blog, it sadly can't follow back. Have fun, anyways! I track the "pranksterguardian" tag. )

[prankster-guardian]

soo your knuckles

Yeah, I'm Knuckles. What's it to you?

[littleblueblur-archive]

“Oh… Don’t worry, with the both of us around, I doubt someone will try to steal the Master Emerald. Oh, yeah, people love to cuddle with, but can you blame them? I’m kinda the most adorable hedgehog ever.”

*I giggled a bit.*

[prankster-guardian]

Well, as long as you're sure, I'm sure.

And I don't think I got a chance with disagreeing with ya. You seem like the hugging kind of guy, and lots of people like those kinda, guys, y'know?

[prankster-guardian]

"ANY INFORMATION I MIGHT GIVE YOU WOULD ONLY APPLY TO AN ALTERNATE OF YOURSELF AND IS THUS RENDERED IRRELEVANT AT BEST AND HARMFUL TO THE TIMELINE AT WORST."

Aww, what? Whaddaya mean "harmful to the timeline"? Would it kill me to know?

[prankster-guardian]

"FROM A ZONE SIMILAR TO BUT DISTINCT FROM YOURS. JUDGING FROM SEVERAL FACTORS, I HAVE TRAVELED BACKWARDS IN TIME FROM MY ZONE'S PRESENT."

Wait, you time traveled back here?Then that must mean you're from the future! You got any idea what happens to me by then, huh?

[littleblueblur-archive]

“Same here actually. But hey, at least you and I can have some fun.”

[prankster-guardian]

Fun? On Angel Island? Sorry, Sonic, but fun’s pretty limited here. The only time when there’d be fun is when some sorry sucker thinks it would be cool to mess with the Master Emerald.

I mean, it’s not like we can’t have fun. I…just don’t really know what to do besides punching stuff.

[littleblueblur-archive]

“Well, we could relax and talk a little. I’ve been told I’m a great cuddle buddy.”

[prankster-guardian]

Sure, relaxing seems nice. But remember, I'm on gaurd duty, alright? I don't wanna keep my gaurd down. Last time I did...

...let's just say it wasn't too pretty.

By the way..."cuddle buddy"?

[littleblueblur-archive]

“Oh not much. How have you been there Knux, besides protecting that emerald of yours?”

[prankster-guardian]

Pretty good. Other than me being bored out of my mind, I’m in an a-okay condition. You?

[prankster-guardian]

Hey! Been a while hasn’t it?

Ya see, I’ve been pretty busy guarding the Master Emerald that I almost forgot about you guys.

Anyone wouldn’t mind givin’ me some heads up on what I missed?

*I looked at what was inside, and my nose was right. It was food. Lots of fruit to be exact. At least in this box. The aroma of it all hit my nostrils quickly, my mouth beginning to water even more.*

“Looks like you won’t be having a food shortage, if all these crates are just food… How many crates are there exactly?”

*My stomach rumbled loudly, not wanting to wait to find out how many were there.*

[prankster-guardian]

* Food, huh? Well, what a delight! Knuckles could use some of these for him to eat just in case he gets hungry, but for now, he might as well save some for the kid. The dude's stomach is growling, so why not? Knuckles forced out the rest of the crate's opening to reveal a whole mess of fruits. Pineapple, kiwis, even grapes! This Guardian was starting to get lucky! *

There we go! Does this answer your question, Blue?

Hey, let's split it 50-50. Deal?

[betterbreaktheegghead-deactivat]

Really?  ”A dimension?  A zone?  A world?”  Knuckles’ stubby tail twitched, eyes narrowed at his alternate.  ”A universe?”  Geez, had it taken himself so long to understand?  Well, yeah, probably.  He supposed maybe if the first person from another zone he’d met had been himself he’d have been suspicious, too.  But he’d have at least given in by now.  This other him was even more stubborn than he was gullible!  And now that the other pointed them out, boy, did his black eyes creep the hedgehog out.  That just seemed unnatural…

”..Er.. well of course you don’t have that stuff!  I’m a hedgehog!”  He gestured out with his arms.  ”Knuckles the Hedgehog!  Hero of Mobius, where I’m from!  I stop Eggman and all that crap..  Er, I mean, I know we don’t have that in common, but..!  W-what in the name of Tikal do I have to do to convince you that I’m you?”

[prankster-guardian]

* This whole "dimension" thing that the other guy's going on sounds like those science-y thingamajigs Tails would go on about. And that just sounds BOOORIIING. The whole concept of science just bores Knuckles to death. If anything, he wished science never existed in the first place so a certain doctor wouldn't exist. Wait, he's done talking now? Sheesh, he seemed pretty frantic about what Knuckles said. *

Never really heard of any of those fancy science things, save for Zone. I know because this place right here is the Hidden Palace Zone. Or...what's left of it, I think.

And as far as you convincing me that you're me...well, I dunno, what's something that you like to do when you're bored? And at that...who's Eggman? The only one here that needs a real proper knuckle sandwich is Robotnik.

[betterbreaktheegghead-deactivat]

“Hey, you watch it, you little… little…”  

Knuckles’ quills bristled, cheeks turning red.  Boy, did he hate being mocked.  Ears flat against his skull, he cracked his knuckles, flexing his shoulder blades.  Oh, would he get this punk back.  

“You better watch it,” he hissed, snout wrinkled.

[prankster-guardian]

Whoa, whoa, chillax, look-alike dude. I'm just following my tradition, okay? It's nothing personal, I swear!

* Hopefully, this could come across the other Knuckles' mind and he could ease out on the prankster a little. He got his hands up, stepping back a step or two, just to be sure the alternate doesn't get the wrong idea. *

[betterbreaktheegghead-deactivat]

Knuckles shoots a certain alternate the stink eye.

Poor, sore nose.

[prankster-guardian]

* Oh, man! That was genius! Knuckles would give himself a pat on the back, but he's too busy laughing his behind off. He almost couldn't notice the prey was just staring down at him straight in the eye. *

Hahahahaha! HAhahaha...phew...oh Chaos that was rich...

Oh...hey there, guy that just so happens to look a lot like me! Enjoying the April Fool's Day air?

[prankster-guardian]

Aaaaand one mark on the board.

I love my heritage/secondary job.

[prankster-guardian]

April Fools Day? Already?!

Oh yeah! Time to make my pranking forefathers proud!

But first, I gotta find somebody to prank...

[prankster-guardian]

* Knuckles' words couldn't really leave his mouth at the moment. There's too many people on this island! What the heck do they think this is, a house party? He had a look at all the sudden visitors and all of these people showing up made his heart race. With a clench of his fist, Knuckles takes a deep breath and tries to greet the newcomers. *

...WHO ARE YOU PEOPLE?!

[prankster-guardian]

Hey, this is as nice as I can get, pal. If I were rude, I’d already kick you off the island without sayin’ a word! And what’s so darn classified about your stupid information? You thinkin’ it holds some stupid life or death factor, bub?

[technothehedgehog]

“Look, I want to keep a powerful item I have in my possession secret from anybody who could use it wrongly. So, stop questioning me, okay?”

[prankster-guardian]

Alright, alright. I’ll stop questionin’ ya, Mr. Secretive. 

But, that still doesn’t stop me from wanting to know how you got here. Secret or not.

[technothehedgehog]

Techno thought for a moment, then pulled out a glowing stone. “This.” 

[prankster-guardian]

* The glowing stone got Knuckles' attention quicker than Sonic could run in seconds. Well, not really, but it did catch his eye. He could sense some strange out of this world energy from that stone... *

Woah...what's that? It's kinda like a Chaos Emerald, but...it feels so outta place...
