Clash! Shadow Vs Knuckles

It is nighttime and Knuckles was sitting alone on a bucket in an alley. A loose newspaper blows into his leg. He picked it up and glanced at it noticing that it's a picture of Shadow and Eggman battling, he let it go and it blew away. He had a flashback of himself guarding the Master Emerald at Angel Island. He was so deep in thought that he didn't see someone behind him. It was Dr. Eggman.

"What do you want, Eggman?" he asked and Eggman got on his knees before him. "Please help me, Knuckles!" Eggman said grasping Knuckles' hands. "If we don't do something fast, Shadow could make us prisoners on this planet forever!" he explained his distress." he said while Knuckles looked at him surprised.

"If we can gather all seven of the Chaos Emeralds, there's a fighting chance that we can somehow reverse the effect that sent us to this world, and return to where we came from."

There was a flashback of Shadow destroying Eggman's robots, breaking into the base, and causing Chaos Control.

"Shadow knew he could use the Chaos Emeralds to warp himself through time and space. That's the reason he attacked Chaos Control! He found out that I collected all the Chaos Emeralds to keep them out of his grasp! You know how reckless Shadow is. I was afraid of what he might do if he got hold of the Emeralds, so I set up defenses, but there was no stopping Shadow. He was determined to push his selfish search for thrills all the way this time, no matter who got hurt! Finally, Shadow invaded Chaos Control, and to my horror, he finally achieved his goal! Shadow destroyed Chaos Control and sent us all here just for the fun of it!"

"Shadow... He's crazy..."

"I've changed my ways and want to live in peace, but Shadow won't let me!" he said then blew his nose and bluffing. "What can I do? He won't even give me a chance to fix things! I want to get us back, but when I found one of the Chaos Emeralds, you know what happened! Shadow snatched it from me, and said he's going to stay here as long as he pleases!"

"That selfish hog!"

"He said that we can't leave here until he says so! He thinks this world's a lot more fun than ours, and if we don't agree, it's our tough luck." Eggman said while Knuckles became mad. "You'd think he'd be more concerned about his buddy."

"Shadow isn't my buddy! I'm sick and tired of Shadow turning everything into a game! Either Shadow gives us that Emerald, or I'm going to take it from him."

"Be careful. Shadow says he'll crush anybody who tries to get it back!"

"So then... A battle to the bitter end."

Eggman grinned.

"My chronic Shadow troubles are over." he said to himself.

Chris and Tails were admiring the Chaos Emerald, which was inside a machine in the workshop. Chuck was sitting in his chair.

"A Chaos Emerald! Does anybody know where they come from or how they work?" Chris asked.

"Nobody knows much except that they're real powerful!" Tails said.

"I hope my analysis reveals something about its makeup." Chuck said.

Suddenly they heard a noise from beneath the trap door that leads to the workshop.

"I know you're in there! You haven't let me clean your room in so long I'm issuing a dirt alert!" Ella said.

"Oh no! It's Ella! Quick Tails, hide!" Chris said.

"Huh? Wha?" Tails said flopped onto a beanbag, pretending to be a stuffed animal, just as Ella opened the door

Then Chris tried to act casual.
