little did Tails know, while he was hiding from EXEclaw, the latter decided to duplicate himself in order to kill several of Sonic's friends, and even a few of his enemies for good measure. or, bad measure, i guess. these duplicates, however, were the same as him. they had the same mind, and the same powers, and they were the same as him. one of them went to Knuckles.

in mere seconds, the EXEclaw duplicate had slaughtered innocent little animals, causing so much blood to pour out. then he caused a grey cloud, signaling a storm of the ages.

meanwhile, Knuckles was walking through the abandoned scrap brain, which was Robotnick's first base. he was shocked at seeing the sight of so much blood. it poured and pour and poured and poured and... you know where i am going with this. he then jumped, and glided to get a better view. there was just more aftermath of a genocide spread all over. still, he glided on, attempting to process this horrer. as he landed, EXEclaw appeared behind him. he then tapped Knuckles' shoulder and two words escaped his teeth:

FOUND YOU

Knuckles turned around, he said ''who's th-'' only to find what he assumed was Sonic.

''oh. Sonic. so your the one who is laying those animal plushies around?''

EXEclaw said nothing. he thought it would be funny watching this gullible echidna mistake him for the real Sonic.

''great prank, but we need to clean up.'' Knuckles said.

still, EXEclaw said nothing. 

''DO IT YOU SON OF A BITCH!'' Knuckles said in a fit of rage. he was having none of it. he tried to punch EXEclaw, but EXEclaw teleported behind him.

''Hey Knuckles'' he said in a sinister voice.

''stand still, will you?!'' Knuckles said, blinded by rage at what he thought was Sonic for not cleaning up. but no matter how many times he tried, EXEclaw either teleported or just blocked the attack.

''predictable.'' the demon hedgehog said. he chased Knuckles down scrap brain. Knuckles retreated to a metal road with grass. EXEclaw then caught him by teleporting behind, then blocked another punch. he then scratched Knuckles' eye. it didn't kill him, but he lost it anyway. 

''no....'' Knuckles said, now trying to focus with only one eye.

''you thought i was the blue hedgehog? think again, Knucklehead.'' EXEclaw said. he grabbed Knuckles's throat.

''NOW TO FINISH YOU. SO MANY SOULS TO PLAY WITH. SO LITTLE TIME. WOULDN'T YOU AGREE? ACCEPT IT KNUCKLES. YOU CAN'T RUN.'' 

Knuckles tried to look for a diversion. there wasn't any. but then, he looked back, and saw the tornado still airborne. this gave him an idea. 

''hey shitass!'' Knuckles said.

''what?'' said EXEclaw. ''do you have last words?''

''yes. take this!'' Knuckles said. he grabbed onto EXEclaw's leg, then he spun him around with enough force to send him flying through the air, hitting the tornado. then, the tornado landed onto the ground, squashing EXEclaw. the duplicate then faded. Knuckles then put his hand over his dead eye, and walked to a safe zone. he recovered his throat by gasping air, and slipped past a portal... beam... thing. it reminded him of the ones from sky sanctuary. he then decided to get to the master emerald for answers, curious of what happened to Sonic. he grabbed a portal ring, then used it to get to angel island. he dug through the ground to hidden palace. he then found Tails there. not just him, but others as well. to his suprise, even Robotnick was there.
