Knuxanic ~ One Jump Ahead (Aladdin 2019)

It was a normal day in the streets of Agrabah. The marketplace was buzzing with locals and traders.

Amongst them was Knuckles Emerald, the young red echidna prince of Agrabah, hooded with white cloth to disguise himself, which he didn't really need to do because he never really left the palace so no one knew him but the royal guards, who were scouting that area so he had to hide from them.

Anyway, he looked around the marketplace, his amethyst eyes roaming at the different stalls selling antique trinkets and different food. He seemed to be uninterested with the things being sold and by the mobians too busy to notice him, until he noticed two children, a young bee and a young rabbit, looking up at the bread on the bread stall.

They were both trembling, possibly because of starvation, as the seller paid no attention to their pitiful, pleading faces. They had ragged clothing on and they didn't seem to have parents around with them as they begged.

'Poor children!' Knuckles frowned. 'I've got to help them! But... how?'

He turned and noticed that the bread seller wasn't paying any attention to the goodies so he walked over and grabbed two bread slices. He smiled and crouched down to meet the children's eye level.

"Here you go," he whispered, handing them the bread and patting their heads.

"Thank you," the rabbit's eyes beamed with happiness before she and the bee ran off.

The bread seller, who was a huge grey rat, must've heard the child for as they left, his ear twitched before he turned around, growling at the red echidna.

"Hey!" he yelled, making the prince turn his head and stand up in shock. "You stole my bread!"

"Stole your bread?" Knuckles was caught off guard with the bread seller's accusation. "What are you talking about? I-I didn't..."

"You need to pay for what those brats stole then!" the bread seller went on and on.

"Those children were STARVING!" Knuckles scowled. "Besides, I... I don't have any money..."

"Oh really?" The bread seller reached in and took out a green gem from the prince's coat. "Then what's this, huh?!"

"Hey, that's mine!" Knuckles gritted his teeth but was in shock when the bread seller suddenly grabbed his hand and slammed it on the table. "Hey, let go!"

"No way!" the bread seller huffed, raising a knife with his other hand. "Two breads mean two prices to pay! One with this gem and the other WITH YOUR LIF—"

"Woah, woah!" a gloved hand gently grabbed the bread seller's raised hand. "Take it easy, dude. What's going on here?"

The two turned and gasped, Knuckles's heart skipping a beat in his chest as his face burnt dark red.

Standing in front of him and helping him out was a slim, like hedgehog with spiky bangs, quills in a ponytail and ring earrings on his right ear as he wore a red vest with spiky shoulder parts, an orange pouch by his waist and spiky silver wrist bands below his gloves. His hazelnut brown eyes met the prince's amethyst ones briefly before he turned back to the bread seller, who looked flustered and nervous.

"H-Hello, Manic Wild," he stuttered and trembled, not feeling a something on one of his shoulders, laughing quietly before taking the jewel and hiding it in it's own purple vest. "I... I..."

"Tsk, tsk," Manic shook his head and lowered the hand, swiftly taking his knife and quickly slipping it into his pouch. "killing a guy for taking your bread? That's low, even for you,"

"But... I'm running a business and... uh..."

"And...?" Manic raised an eyebrow, placing a hand on his hip before flipping his bangs.
