Act 11 Part 2: The Real Knuckles

After 20 minutes Tails finally got to the workshop, soaked from rain. He tried to open up the door but it was locked, he started banging on it until it opened and Tails was attacked by a crazed Ray--dressed poorly in band-aids and gauze not fully covering his wounds--with one of the Super Emeralds in his hand. He started biting and scratching and kicking Tails, "Get off of me." he said in between being scratched and kicked. Cream ran out of the workshop and pulled the rabid squirrel off Tails while Amy was wrapping Bean like a mummy with gauze. "Oh, hi Tails." Ray said as though he didn't just attack him, "Where's Sonic and the Chaos Emeralds?" "What is wrong with you?" Tails exclaimed. "What do you mean?" Ray looked at the Emerald he just dropped, "Aww, he took the wrong one. So where is Sonic?" Ray asked again. "Sonic is still at the island, my Tornado crashed..." Tails explained everything that happened in his workshop, "Now tell me, what happened to the other emerald, and on that note, what happened to you guys?" While wrapping Bean, Amy told him about their little adventure. "Well can one of you come with me to help this guy?", before Amy had a chance to say it, Tails told Cream to come with him, obviously because she can fly, Amy still urged Tails to take her with him, so then he told Cream to stay behind.

Knuckles stopped at station square where he called Dr. Eggman on a nearby payphone, "Mr. Eggman, I got one them, but--" Eggman cut him off, "What do you mean you got one of them? If they had more than one, why didn't you take them?", He shouted, "I needed one free hand to carry my head." Eggman scoffed, "I don't care, either you get all they have, or don't come home. In fact I'm not home anyway, so get moving." "I have one more question, Dr." "What is it?" "It's about my body." Eggman hesitated and hung up. Knuckles groaned and stuck his head back on as best as he could and flew back from the way he came.
