[The screen turns on to darkness and the sound of sniffing. A moment later the darkness fades as the wolf that was sniffing the communicator moves away, knocking the communicator over as it does

[loyal_cube]

[Cube is flying towards the mountains, blue emerald in hand... hoping he can understand how touse it to find Knuckles]

[wears_a_torc]

[At first there's no glow. But there's a slight flicker as he get's the closer to the mountains and the further south he goes the brighter the glow becomes.]

[loyal_cube]

[Cube starts to descend, as the winds are getting stronger. Yellow eyes peering over the surrounding area, in search for his friend along with an alert ear for wolfs.]

K-Knuckles-saaaaan!

[The demon butler's feet are barely touching the ground as he runs about]

Knuckles-saaaaaaaaaaaaaaaan!!!

[wears_a_torc]

[Cube should be careful where he's running who knows what he could trip over...like a Red Emerald maybe?]

[loyal_cube]

[Annnd...

The demon is face down in the packed dirt. Yeowch! He's been hit harder, though. He gets up, doesn't even brush himself off and goes to start running again when the emerald catches his eye and he stumbles.

Picking it up, he sees the two emeralds are glowing brightly. But what's going on? Shouldn't Knuckles be...]

K-Knuckles-saan!! There is no way he'd leave this by itself... not on purpose...

[he gets up and slowly looks around, hoping he can see some red or bright green

[wears_a_torc]

[After everyone on the communicator yelling at him he thought that was where Cubes voice was coming from.]

Yes I know already...

[But Cube just kept shouting...and wait...it wasn't coming from the other direction was it?]

Cube?

[Knuckles tried to get a better look around but he only managed to pull his broken leg, he cried out in pain took a few deep breaths and called out for Cube again.]

CUBE!

[loyal_cube]

[Cube's ears alerted him in Knuckles' direction and he sprinted towards the sound, holding both emeralds now.

When he spotted the red echidna he didn't look for wolfs, just headed towards his friend, whos leg looked caught under some rock]

Knuckles-san! Hold on!

[He looked around trying to see what could be done, pondering if a spell was needed]

[wears_a_torc]

[Cube didn’t have to worry about the wolves just yet while they had been waiting all night, watching as Knuckles fought and struggled to break free of the rocks. Waiting until the cold dehydration, and the blow to his head had caused him to pass out. Only then had one gotten close enough to see if he was dead or not, the one Knuckles had killed with the rock.]

[But killing one of them had bought Knuckles some peace from the rest of the pack while his friends searched for him, they were still eating their fallen pack mate only a few feet away from the echidna that had killed it.]

Cube...

[Knuckles wasn’t fairing that much better than the wolf though. It didn’t matter how strong someone was if they didn’t have leverage. And Knuckles had tried getting free, oh how he tried. The rocks in reach were cracked from his punches, had gouges dug out of them, some had even been shattered into dust. But that didn’t change the fact that he was pinned in such away that he couldn’t reach the stone that was pinning him. And he had spend the whole

[loyal_cube]

[Cube glared at the wolfs. Almost as if hey were speaking nasty horrible things. He quickly kneeled down at Knuckles and tried his best to smile but his face was stern and focused]

I'm sorry. I didn't bring any water... and looking at this rock I-

[He glared at the wolfs, who were growling at him now.]
... I don't believe I can remove it...

[Cube spoke more tot he wolfs, than to Knuckles at this point.]

...but I think I can remove something else...

[It was then he stood, advancing towards the foul beasts, nearly growling himself. The feasting had stopped. The demon's yellow tinted eyes were fixed upon another set.

Then a flash of fire scorched the ground in front of the butler. He held another fire ball in his other hand and threw it at the oncoming attackers, pushing them off. The smell of singed fir burned the nose but at least they were backing up.... Cube hoped]

[wears_a_torc]

[Knuckles didn't think he had ever seen Cube so angry. He didn't blame the wolves for turning tail an running away. Even if they hadn't totally abandoned their meal just yet, they were still waiting in the shadows until they thought it was safe again.]

[Knuckles relieved that he didn't have to watch for the wolves allowed himself to relax a little.]

[He'd have to ask Cube to pass him his communicator from where ever it had landed around here, he was sick of shouting out to it with his throat as dry as it was.]

[But for now he was just going to close his eyes for a few moments...]

[daddyslilpyro]

-It was not safe for the wolves. A gigantic blaze shot through their ranks, scattering them completely. There were also a few familiar sounds accompanying the fire... discharges from the Wonder Shot.-

Knuckles!!

[foxtamer]

[By the time Minato gets there, all the fun is gone. Or scared off, rather. Which really only leaves getting those rocks off of Knuckles.]

Knuckles!

[There are two others already with Knuckles, and he recognizes Lucca, at least.]

/gonna cut in now :D

[cerebral_foxy]

[There's the sound of something big coming in, but Tails gets there first on the Yellowtail. He can't help but smile as he see's the others already there.

Luckily he's up high enough that no one can hear his sigh of relief.]

Hey! *wave wave*

Knux -> Cube -> Lucca -> Minato - >Tails

[wears_a_torc]

[The Problem with fire, was that it also brought smoke. That’s what woke Knuckles back up not the yelling of his friends, it made him coughed, which in turn made him gasped in pain.]

Nighhh!

[One hand over his mouth the other holding his ribs, the echinda tried to get his breathing under control. as he instinctively started to curl in on himself.]

(ooc: Just setting the order and trying and get this moving again ^_^ Oh and if Minato did find Knuckles bag there‘s a bottle of water in it.)

Thanks I wasn't sure who else was joining in...

[loyal_cube]

[Cube turned around from the fleeing wolfs, back where the blast came from. He didn't know who she was but before he could ask, someone else shouted his name. The demon butler turned himself around and focused back upon Knuckles and his friends who were all starting to arrive.]

Thank goodness...

[He gave a sigh, happy. With so many more people arriving... there was definitely some way to help Knuckles get back safely. as he headed back towards his red friend, he heard something over head. Gazing up he waved, not exactly sure what was going on now.]

Mr. Tails....?

[daddyslilpyro]

-Lucca stayed on guard, charging up the Wonder Shot for another volley of fire if needed.-
