Act 11 part 1: The Real Knuckles

They try to wait it out but the storm has only gotten worse. The thunder is booming much louder than before, the rain is so strong that each torrent pulverizes the roof. Ray's heart is beating quickly and he is shivering as though he's never experienced a storm. "Hey, guys, I gotta use the bathroom. If something happens just holler." Vector said and left the workshop. Bean quickly ran to take Vector's chair, "My, this chair isn't warm" he said then ran back in his own seat. Just a few seconds later, Bean yelled "I'm hungry, what do we have to eat in this shack?" Amy checked Tails's refrigerator, it was fully stocked with cans of sploosh. "Eww, what is this crap?" Bean groaned. "It's the only thing Tails has in his fridge." Amy scowled at him and handed everyone a can. Someone banged on the door, "Oh, God, who is that?" Ray said nervously, "Calm down, Ray. It's just Vector." Amy said and opened the door to be greeted by Knuckles.

"Hey. I thought you said he died." Bean said. Knuckles looked at the picture and looked at Ray, Bean, Amy, and Cream. That's them, he thought to himself, but who are the two girls? but then he noticed the two emeralds. "You stole those from Dr. Eggman" Knuckles said, Bean looked at the sploosh, "Here," and gave it to Knuckles, he poured its contents on Bean's head, "Knuckles, what is wrong with you?" Amy said trying not to laugh at Bean, "You stole two of Dr. Eggman's magical emeralds." Knuckles grabbed the Super Emeralds. Bean was so angry that he charged at him with another jar of sploosh in his hand. He tried to dump the goo on Knuckles.

Cream, Amy, and Ray just watched them fight until Bean took Knuckles's arms and forced him into submission, instead he pulled Knuckles's skin off to reveal his metallic underbelly. Amy screamed, Cream stared in horror, Ray was having a heart attack, but Bean said "I knew it!" Knuckles's eyes turned red and spikes drew out his arms. Instead of attacking Bean, Knuckles ran towards the emerald that Ray had in his lap. He charged at Ray with his arms flailing around, Bean threw the jar at Knuckles to slow him down, Ray took the emerald and into the rain. Knuckles swung at Bean and headed for Ray.

"ohgodohgodohgodohgod" Ray kept chanting, when Vector finally got back, "Whoo! Don't go in there for 45 minutes." He yelped then saw Knuckles, "Hey Knucks, what... the heck happened to you? Ya look like a freaking Terminator!" he laughed at Knuckles who was busy trying to steal Ray's Super Emerald, but then Knuckles smacked Ray, punched him in the stomach, and kicked him over and took the emerald. Without any hesitation, Vector charged at Knuckles and snapped his head clean off his shoulders. Even headless, Knuckles still functioned fully, he gave Vector a body uppercut and knocked him on his back, knocking him unconscious. He pulled his head out of Vector's mouth but it wouldn't stay on his head. Amy ran up to him and threw a chair against his head. Knuckles punched her in the face and flew away with only one of the Super Emeralds. Bean and Cream rushed out to help Amy, Ray and Vector.
