The Next Guardian Issue # 56



Knuckles and Ekyt went over the dark legion's history. Julie-Su and Linda-Su were once supporters. Now they were both “With” guardians, the very kind they set out to kill. Next they discussed what to do about them. They didn't have to wait long, as Sonic came zipping in.
“Thought you guys should know, there's an army of Robots marching towards Knothole. With them are those cloaked-echidna losers.” Knuckles and Ekyt looked at each other before Knuckles said “Okay, hold them off. We'll warn the others on the island and meet you.”

Ekyt and Knuckles warned the others and met at Knothole. Linda-Su rode up on her motorcycle. “Dark Legion again? They've gotta go.” She said. Julie-Su, who had been riding shotgun, agreed. “Lowlife scum.” Linda spoke up. “Ekyt, take my bike. I've got range weapons. Be careful.” Without thinking, he kissed her and jumped on.

He sped towards the battle. He didn't waste time with words. He and the others who protected this place jumped into the fray. With their combined strength, they drove them back. Then the all pulled out guns. The Dark Legion had weapons, and had them outnumbered.

Lien-Da strode to the front, with Kragok near her. “If you two guardians surrender yourselves, we will leave. We don't control the robots.” Knuckles and Ekyt, upon assuming the mantle of guardian, agreed to protect other creatures as well as the emerald. Lien-Da smiled and snapped her fingers.

Beat them.” She said to the guards as she left the room. The guards swooped down and pounded the two shackled creatures.

“Let us go, you freak!” Linda and Julie were brought in next. They were seated across from the two guardians. “Now, let's try again. Where is the emerald?” “I don't know,” they both said. The door burst in and in came…

“Not you again!” Dmitri (Formerly Enerjak) “Yes, human, me. This time I brought some persuasion with me.” He held up the chaos syphon (For those who don't know, it drains emeralds of their power and was going to be used to restore Echidnapolis to it's place on Mobius.-N.G.) “Since through your veins runs the energy of the emerald itself, let's drain you! Who's first? You've both caused me so much trouble…Ahhh, both of you.”

He switched it on for a few seconds as the guardians felt a searing pain. “Had enough?” Ekyt had

He concentrated on his ring (Forged from fifty power rings and a chaos emerald) and felt the power in his body grow. He then transferred it to Knuckles.

Hyper Knuckles snapped out of his bindings and rushed the stunned echidnas. He freed Ekyt as they started to clean house:
