Dijon and Knuckles fought the Badniks, their numbers were down. Both then gigantic waves approached them, it was the Spinning-Wheel Badniks, and all of them were trying to hit both of them, well their strength of power decreased. It was tough for them to escape.

Knuckles shouted. ''My best guess, is just to dive into the water and making thus make our best escape...!" 

Dijon yelled at him. ''You serious..?! not only do we look tired, but you look like an ill person!''

Knuckles then did a shrug to his arms. ''Yeah... and what do you expect to do as for alternative..?''

He began putting his thinking pose up to his pose. ''Well... I..... don't know...''

Then they got busted, they couldn't run anymore, Dijon and Knuckles were stuck in a cliff and the Badniks were ready to put their will to end them.

Knuckles looked back at the ocean and grumped. ''That's probably our only way.''

As Dijon heard, he was sighted in disappointment. ''Fine...! let's do our favor of just sinking down to the bottom of the ocean..!"'

Knuckles was about to take his dive, but something happened. A Giant Badnik was blasted by a strange square-looking projectile.

''Who..?!'' Dijon carefully looked at the scene.

Knuckles turned his head from behind, and saw a shadow, storming its way to destroy every single Badnik, with the use of mysterious magic, those magic attacks looked card-like.

Dijon approached, he'd had no idea what was actually going on. ''Woah..! what even is happening..?''

Then a feminine walked towards them, the figure was in blonde quills, then she said. ''So, you must be the Soul Blade wielder..?''

Dijon looked at her. ''You mean...''

He then pulled off the sword, and she was in shock. ''I am glad..!''

It made Knuckles look confused as ever. ''That sword is sure strange, it can pop out and on..! like some switch..!''

She looked at the red echidna. ''Cause.. he's the one who wields it, now.. get on the real talk... You'd need to come with me, we need your help.''

Dijon looked up. ''Me..? Oh.. I'll help with anything..!"'

But, Knuckles suddenly collapsed. ''This sickness surely got over me..''

Dijon reacted quickly. ''No..! he needs treatment first..!"'

She gasped and rushed up to the ill echidna. ''He needs treatment for sure..! I know.. at my house.''

Dijon looked at her. ''But how..? I didn't see any houses around this area.''

She smiled at the response. ''You don't have to worry about that, I can easily transport you two, to my hut..!''

''Interesting.. how that would work.. like.. maybe that strange powers you've used,'' Dijon said.

''And that's how it will be, now.. just stand there... it will be quick.'' She took steps away from them, and they were both would get surrounded by an after-image of a Card, it looked like a Tarot Card.  And then it flicked, were sent to her's resting place, the hut.

Dijon looked around the hut. ''Wow... in mere seconds, we are in your house..! impressive..!''

Knuckles would mumble. ''I... hate.. teleports...''

She arrived with a green-looking potion. ''This should make you less ill.''

Knuckles looked up. ''So, I had to drink it..?''

She looked cheerful. ''Yeah..!''

Dijon sat on a chair. ''I do give thanks that you've saved us both, girl.''

She suddenly realized. ''Oh..! I forgot to give my name..!''

She put her hand to a heart. ''My name is... Dahlia.' And I am a Gymnure!''

Dijon minded on. ''So, you're a Gymnure.. you surely look not different from a hedgehog-like me.''

She giggled. ''Of course, gymnure's surely look similar... but our noses are in a different shape..!"'

''Well... I'm glad to meet you, Dahlia, I am Dijon..! and.. about the ill guy, what was his name again..?''

Knuckles lay on the bed and replied to Dijon. ''Knuckles.''

''Knuckles.. well... I'm glad that I've met you too.''

He would do a grin. ''Yeah.. without you two, I would've been stranded on the sunsets.''

Dijon then question Dahlia. ''So, can you tell.. why do you need me..? just because I have a power that I didn't choose by it..?''

She pointed at his white-tattered clothing. ''It's because of your appearance, I'd didn't pick notice on your blade, but rather on your clothes.''

he raised one of his eyebrows. ''Really..? why so.?''

She then replied. ''Because you're one of them Dijon, the Uni-Balancers.''

''Uni..?  What..?'' He began thinking about what she meant.

''That's strange. you sure aren't part of them.. wait..! You're the legend..!'' She then took steps forward.

''Legend..? come on, Dahlia.. speak some sense.'' 

''Yeah, a legend. it's the myth, that there would be a spiritual being, who has both balances of mortal and a spirit.''

Dijon noticed. ''You don't mean.''

Satsugai comes off Dijon. ''Wild Balancer.''

He then began irritated. ''Argh! you guys just make my mind tangled all over, why won't just rush things and get to the main part.''

She took a sight. ''If you insist. Then we would want to go into the main plan, on why did I pick you.''

Dijon suddenly changed his mood to a confident one. ''So..? what it would be..?''

She looked to a window. ''I picked for you a reason, I think we need your help.... our spirits are suffering from this.''

''Suffering..?!'' Dijon was caught off.

''Yeah.. something like that. Something recently happened, that made both of the worlds merge together.. and create chaos.''

''I'd wondered.. how did that happen... I mean... I'd just saved my hometown, and now... I'm stuck in this part of reality..'' Dijon looked down, as he'd known, that this would be yet another way of him fighting yet again.

''The doctor used the forbidden Chaos Technique, not sure how he did it, but it worked well for him.'' Knuckles looked at Dijon and was bit understanding of his fate.

''Doctor.. who..?'' Dijon looked up to Knuckles.

''Yes.. you've heard me right, it was him... Dr.Eggman or that's how we call him.''

''Dr.Eggman...''' Now Dijon tried his best to not forget that name, as he now sees this as an important name to remember.

Knuckles then yawned. ''That Medicine really kicked off, guess.. I'll get some sleep.''

Dijon felt like he was exhausted too. ''We should arrange things tomorrow, I can't unthink that I'm still haven't back to my normal life yet.''

Dahlia. ''I'll get your room then, and oh... Dijon..''

''Uh..?''

''Be Unafraid of the same stuff, since.. the thing could end too, it's part of your lives, know it..?''

Dijon gave a happier-looking face to him. ''Aha.. Yeah..''

So, did Dijon and Knuckles go on taking a nap, who will know what more things will await them?
