Knuckle in Echidna Land
Story 7: "Kuckle"
A story by David The Lurker

When we last left our heros...
let me start over.
When we last left our psycotic group of pie loving misfits, Knuckle and tAils had gone off to "honnymoon land," where they promptly made a mess of things.  tAils got the Sonic, and Knuckle got the emeralds, which he promptly lost in the sky.  Meanwhile, a mysterious figure that came from space is plotting something evil...
(Confused?  Read the early chapters at http://members.aol.com/LGDKDD/tempage.html  A temp page until I find a "proper" webhost which will hold my future webpage...yes, I'm making one.  Stop laughing.)

From the smoldering ruins of Honnymoon Land, the strange figure emerges from the wreakage.  He surveys the land around him, covered in pie.
"How could I let this happen?"  The figure exclaims.  "How can such terror live in the world?  I shall stop them...or my name isn't..."
Let's leave this in suspence.  Although, I'm sure you already know the answer.

The world in the eyes of the members of Echidna Land continues as they always assume it would.  Which is part of the strange complexities of it all.  Kuckles waited alone, watching the entrence for the signs of Knuckle and tAils.
"Whre cn thy be?" Kuckles wonders.
Suddenly, they appear.
"Hiho!" tAils exclaims.
"wE arnt maried nymor." Knuckle completes.
"K" Kuckles confirms.
Samantha and Sonic Caos also appear, by jumping off a 90-story building.  Why?  Ask them.
"NO"AJEIFJOlkfnljsflmnd!!!!!!!!!!"
On second thought, don't bother.
"pBkd, ou ve turned!" Samantha yelles, which means "You have returend!  Congradulations!"
"Yah, I and tAils didnt no if we wold mke it." Knuckle claims.
"those tourist didnt lke it whn we blw up ther vaction spt." tAils continues.
"PIIIIIIEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!"
"k"
"Too thijk khiih kuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuupo!" which means "I'm gonna say 'kupo' for no reason whatsoever!"
"k"
"towel"
"k"
Oh, just let the insanity end!  Later that day...

He has finally made it to the place that many men and woman have avoided.  A place born from the mind of pure evil.  Of course, his intentions may have been evil too.  He wasn't sure.  He just knew that his evil was the less of the two.  He had to put a stop to the insanity.  He had to destroy this place...this "Echidna Land."  And then China Land as well.  And the only way to get the job done?  To go to it's most loyal member...

"Knuckle!"
"ys?"
"beddie-buy time!"
"k"
Knuckle then goes into his pie shaped home, and enters his bedroom.  He is stunned by what he finds.
"a toadstool!"
Knuckle then eats it, just to see if it was poisonous or not.  He didn't keel over, so he assumes it was alright to eat.
Knuckle then looks over to his bed, and finds a sinister figure standing next to it.
"who r u?"
"We have finally met, Knuckle," the figure starts.
"who R u?"
"I have looked fowared to this moment in time."
"WHO R U!?!!@?!?!?!?!?!!?!?!?"
The intensity of this scream causes all of the pie shaped windows to shatter, and for the spare pies to explode onto everything.
"mmm...pie," Knuckle mutters to himself as he starts to eat.
"I can't believe you can live in such conditions, allowing yourself to sleep among pie."
"who r u?" Knuckle mutters with a full mouth.
"Oh yes, who am I?  My name is...Kuckle."
Knuckles then looks at Kuckle thoughtfully.  He seemed normal, looking like himself and Kuckles, but there was something wrong about him.  He just didn't seem like he would want to be placed in a pie.
"pie."
"Enough!  Knuckle, I am here to stop you from loving the pie."
Knuckle couldn't believe what he was saying.  Give up the pie?  The thing he treasured so?  It was unnatural.
"Nonooooooooooooooooo!!!!!!"
"Don't you realize what is going on here in Echidna Land, Knuckle?  Don't you realise that what happens here will have reprocussions across the entire world?  I am here to turn you away from the pie, to be a normal member of society, to help me destroy this place and China Land."
Knuckle got up and looked into Kuckle's gleaming red eyes.  So, he did the only thing he could do.  He slammed pie into his face.
"Arrgggghhhh!  Not pie!"
Kuckle stumbled around the room until he fell out the window.  Normally that wouldn't seem that bad, but Knuckle does live on the 90th story.  And that could be a problem for anyone who doesn't live under the way of the pie.
"buh-bie." Knuckle says as he watches Kuckle fall down.
Knuckle then turns away and laies ontop of his pies and falls asleep.

On the outskirts of Echidna Land, Kuckle watches closly.
"Knuckle thinks that I am destroyed.  However, he is wrong, for I was saved by the pie that was placed on me.  But now I wait until I can destroy the lands of pie..."

And so continues...Echidna Land!

What does Kuckle plan to do next?  Will it threaten the lands of pie?  What will Samantha Clarfet think?  And Kuckles?  tAils?  Sonic Caos?  All leading up to story no. 10, the China Land finale!
