the log:

After leaving the fight with the Bememoth Knuckles decided he could do with a break and shoved the door of the old safehouse open. This place wasn't his. Yes he had woken up here the second time he had arrived, and yes he had helped Alyx reinforce it for the earthquake, and cleared ash of the roof after wards, but it wasn't his. It was Alyx's.

And Alyx wasn't here anymore. Just like Lucca, and Italy, and the Sonics and Sally. They had all returned to where they belonged. And even though it hurt Knuckles could deal with it. He was the Guardian. He was meant to be alone...And thanks to the deal his people had made with Vichama he would be, forever.

Knuckles walked further into the warehouse. It was cold. No one had stayed after the earthquake, so there had been no need to heat the building. Knuckles didn't care about the cold, just that the warehouse was what he needed right now. A place where no one knew to find him. Tails didn't remember this place, Alyx was gone, Amy hadn't been in the city when the quake hit, and Cube had never visited.

Knuckles paused when he heard a sound behind him. In his anger he hadn't checked the huge room before entering, he had just stalked his way to the center of it.

Which was why he now had five...no wait...six blade welding dummies at his back. Knuckles was surprised, they would usually found in the shopping district...Well it wasn't as if this warehouse was that far away from it.

"Heh." Knuckles let his battered backpack slip of his shoulder there was no need to let it get even more torn up. "Well if it's a fight you want...."

The echidna threw himself at the nearest puppet like monster seeming to almost fly at it. It hit the ground with a smack, the blades attached to his hands clattering against the floor. The echidna landing several painful looking blows cross the things face before it bucked him off. He hit the ground with a grunt, which turned into a yelp when another of the other puppets kicked him into the wall. The supports that he, Alyx and her mute friend had put up months ago falling down on him with a crash.

But the dust didn't get much chance to settle before Knuckles burst out from the mess. Knocking the nearest monster down, and instead of punching it like the other one, he grabbed it by one limb and threw it at a second monster trying to get at him from behind. They collided with a sickening thud and collapsed. Two down...

Knuckles jumped to the side as a third monster tried to slash at him. Knuckles grabbed a jagged piece of metal from the fallen supports and threw it at the attacker with such force that when it hit it's chest it came out it's back, the monster staggering forward a few more steps before falling over.

Three down...Three left to go...

This wouldn't take long.
