• 25 years or so has pasted since the last battle for earth has been fought due to the power of both the 7 Chaos Emeralds and the Master Emerald as well. As the sole protector of the Master Emerald, the red echidna male named Knuckles was not only the protector but also the watcher of Angel Island as well. He was watching over the Island after he got word of the Eggman Empire coming together for world conquest. The male was alot older now. Infact he was wearing something from the past. An old treasure hunter hat of his from when he met the blue blur Sonic before. He had a scar on his right eye so he couldn't open it at all. This was due to being in a fight for the Master Emerald with Dr. Eggman. He won the fight but at the cost of his right eye. He now wears an eye patch over it and sees the world with his left purple eye now. He had a deep anger in his heart and wondered if peace would ever come over the land. Even on his floating home of Angel Island. At this moment in the present, the former treasure hunter was watching over the Master Emerald which was glowing brightly these days of peace that he saw. But he knew in the back of his mind that now all was at peace. As he places his hands on the glowing green jewel, he felt an evil force coming towards his floating island. He then turned his head back for a moment to see he something or someone was there. But all he could see with his one eye was nothing. Nothing but the calming sun shining it's rays on the island, the local wild life enjoying nature at its fullest, and the animals at peace with each other in harmony. The red echidna male felt that everything was at peace. All is well with the lone echidna had retired from the freedom fighters 5 years ago to keep to himself and away from Sonic and his war on the Eggman Empire. He was a lot more focused on watching over the Master Emerald and the Angel Island. To this day, Knuckles watches over the Shine and the Island in peace to this day.
