ol' knuckles was just sitting there, guarding the master emerald like always, when he finds...pico! But something wasn't right with him, his eyes were pitch black, and he had a scar on his left eye and his hair was slightly darker, and plus, he had no mouth. Knuckles was confused...but deep down he knew that this...thing meant trouble, so he decides to confront him. Will Knuckle survive and escape this beast, or will he become a lifeless corpse?
