Robotnik

Such a lovely sentiment Knuckles. I think I felt a tear in my eye. [wipes it] Unfortunately, [uses his index and pinky finger like a taser, ready to attack Knuckles] you're about as useful to me as a backstage pass to Limp Bizkit.

Sonic

Nailed it. [a giant mace ball lands right behind him]

Robotnik

This guy is always trying to spoil a bad thing!

Sonic

Oh, you guys are here too? [he shakes the darts off of his head] Took the long way, huh?

Knuckles

Is everything a joke to you? Why must you constantly interfere with my destiny?

Sonic

Because my destiny is to protect my friends and family!

Robotnik

I think I just threw up in my mouth.

Sonic

And if you want the emerald, you're gonna have to go. Through. Me!
[As Robotnik gulps, Sonic races upstairs towards the Emerald. Robotnik jumps back with amazement. Knuckles zooms up. Sonic and Knuckles collide with blue and red electricity. Sonic punches Knuckles in the face 3 times, Knuckles punches him back. Sonic punches him again. Knuckles tries to punch Sonic again, but he blocks it with a kick. They push each other off, but Sonic lands on the wall and charges at Knuckles, Successfully punching him hard in the stomach and sending him flying.]

Robotnik

The echidna's taking no prisoners today! Sonic has heart, but will he lose the "quill" to live?

Sonic

I don't wanna fight you, but you're not giving me much choice! [goes to kick Knuckles, but the echidna punches him through a waterfall]

Knuckles

Too easy. Let's do this. [starts to walk up the stairs to the emerald, and stops when he notices something blue. The ground breaks, making Knuckles trip backward. Sonic runs up the wall and stops on the roof. He charges up a spindash and slams Knuckles repeatedly into the ground 3 times. Sonic slams his rival really hard one last time. Knuckles springs back up and rapidly tries to punch him] Why don't you stand still and die... with honor?!

Sonic

Let me think about it. Okay, I thought about it and... I PASS!!
