Angel Island (Sonic)

The cannons try to keep their sights on Knuckles and start blasting away at him, only to have the cannon balls explode a few inches behind him.

Knuckles picks up a fallen tree and throws it at the tank.

The tree manages to plug itself in the nozzle of one of the cannons. Alicia tries to shoot the cannon, but the nozzle explodes and smoke can be seen filling Alicia's cockpit. Cat looking bombs come out from underneath the tank and chase after Knuckles.

Knuckles starts throwing the "Cat Bombs" into the nozzles of the other cannons.

The cat bombs let out an annoying scream as the fly through the air and into the nozzles of the two remaining cockpits. The cat bombs explode and destroy the nozzles. Smoke can be seen filling up the cockpit of Flare and Stare. The tank goes berzerk and spins around wildly, crashing through trees and destroying chunks of the Master Emerald shrine.

Alicia: HEY WHAT'S HAPPENING!?!?

Flare: THE TANK HAS BERZERK AND IF WE DON'T DO SOMETHING, IT'S GOING TO LEVEL THE WHOLE AREA!!!

Knuckles sighs and leaps on top of the tank. He then starts trying to open the door to the cockpit.

The cockpit door opens and Alicia starts to climb out, coughing really hard.

Knuckles: Isn't there some sort of "Self-Destruct" button in there?

Alicia: What are you, crazy!? Do you even know how much this thing costs!?

Knuckles: Then tell your sisters to get out of there! I'm going to try to knock this thing off of the island!

Alicia pushes a button which opens the other cockpit doors. The sisters jump out and run towards the Master Emerald shrine and stop halfway up the steps.

Knuckles hops off of the tank.
Knuckles: AND DON'T EVEN THINK ABOUT STEALING THE MASTER EMERALD!
Knuckles then runs a distance away from the tank, stops, and starts getting ready to run back towards it.

The sisters watch. The tank continues to spin around wildly.

Knuckles then runs back towards the tank at full speed and punches it, sending it flying.

Alicia: There goes our remainder of our money... *Sob.*

Flare: Don't worry Alicia, I'm sure we can get a refund.

Alicia: YOU IDIOT, THAT TANK WAS JUST SENT FLYING TOWARDS THE SEA!!!

Stare: Alicia, please stop yelling at Flare, she just got punched in the stomach, remember?

Knuckles walks up to the Black Cats Gang.
Knuckles: Are you going to keep trying to steal the Master Emerald, or do I have to throw you off with your tank?

Flare: Please, don't throw us off! We just needed the emerald to...

Alicia: Pay off our debts to Fool!

Knuckles: Who's this "Fool" guy?

Stare: Fool is a weapons expert who also runs the black market in Prairie, our home. We buy most of our weapns from him in order to steal priceless artifacts. The reason why we're in debt is because...

Alicia: PEOPLE LIKE YOU DESTROY OUR WEAPONS AND RUIN OUR PLANS!!!

Knuckles sighs.
Knuckles: Maybe I could help you out...

Flare: Oh you would!? *Hugs Knuckles.* Oh thank you, thank you, thank you!

Knuckles: Erm...you're welcome. Anyway, there's some stuff down in the Hidden Palace that I don't mind giving away.

Alicia: Well, what are we waiting for? Let's go girls!

Flare: 'Kay!

Stare: ... Sure.

Knuckles walks over to a Zoom Tube leading to the Hidden Palace.

The sisters follow.
