Ekyt was almost at peace with himself. He knew he could win hands down. He had apologized to the Chaotix for his behavior, and he had his job back. But did he lave Linda-Su back? It drove him nuts to think about that.
</p></div>
<p><div name="Normal" align="left" style=" padding: 0.00mm 0.00mm 0.00mm 0.00mm; ">
<p style="text-indent: 0.00mm; text-align: left; line-height: 4.166667mm; color: Black; background-color: White; ">
It also drove Lara-Le, Knuckles mother, nuts. Linda was such a pretty young girl. So why did she want some snot-nosed human kid as her boyfriend? Lara decided to put an end to this. “Wynmacher!” she called out. (She divorced Locke and married Wynmacher) “Yes, darling?” he answered. “I need your help…”
</p></div>
<p><div name="Normal" align="left" style=" padding: 0.00mm 0.00mm 0.00mm 0.00mm; ">
<p style="text-indent: 0.00mm; text-align: left; line-height: 4.166667mm; color: Black; background-color: White; ">
So Ekyt started the walk to the olive grove. He had Mighty, Espio, Charmy, Julie-Su, Knuckles, Sonic, Shadow, Violet (Violet_Rose), Tiffany (Shadowthe_Hedgehog) and Tails in his corner. He had asked them all to come because he knew Staph would have the Dark Legion on his side. Ray the squirrel was going to be there too, with his friend Mighty (We haven't seen Ray the squirrel since Knuckles' series was canceled, and haven't seen him in a game since Sonic's only arcade game, SEGASONIC the Arcade game. Ahhh, the good old days!- N.G.)
</p></div>
<p><div name="Normal" align="left" style=" padding: 0.00mm 0.00mm 0.00mm 0.00mm; ">
<p style="text-indent: 0.00mm; text-align: left; line-height: 4.166667mm; color: Black; background-color: White; ">
He turned a corner in Echidnapolis and only had time to say “What the!” before Wynmacher tackled him and Lara-Le jumped on with a chain wrapped around her fist. The group was so stunned it took them a moment to pill them off the nearly-unconcious human. Ekyt got up and turned toward Wynamcher. Walking like a zombie, he backed Wynmacher across the street into a hostpital. How suiting. Ekyt grabbed him by his collar and snarled “that was a mistake.” He threw Wynmacher onto a stretcher and strapped him in, then sent him sailing down a hallway. Ekyt had been at peace. Now he was just ticked off.
</p></div>
<p><div name="Normal" align="left" style=" padding: 0.00mm 0.00mm 0.00mm 0.00mm; ">
<p style="text-indent: 0.00mm; text-align: left; line-height: 4.166667mm; color: Black; background-color: White; ">
Tiffany had a grip on Lara-Le, who was struggling until she saw the bloody mess that was Ekyt walk back out of the hostpital. “I asked you nicely not to do this Lara. I have given you nothing but respect. And this is how you repay me.” Sonic tried to stop him, but Ekyt pushed him aside. “You think I'm scum? Huh? Because I'm human. Well, I don't think you're scum because you're an echidna.” He paused and moved closer. “I think you're scum because you're racist. And now you try to kill me? Let her go Tiffany.” Tiffany gave Lara a shove. Knuckles, who had just witnessed his mother attack his best friend, just had his head down. “How could you?” was all he could say. “Knuckles, honey, I.” Knuckles was furious. “Don't “honey” me! You treat this poor guy the same way you treated Dad! I can't believe you! C'mon guys, Ekyt's got a fight to win!”
</p></div>
<p><div name="Normal" align="left" style=" padding: 0.00mm 0.00mm 0.00mm 0.00mm; ">
<p style="text-indent: 0.00mm; text-align: left; line-height: 4.166667mm; color: Black; background-color: White; ">
Ekyt was slightly dizzy from the blood loss when he showed up. Violet and Tiffany sat with Shadow on one side of the ring, while Sonic, Tails, and Knuckles took another. The Chaotix stood away from the action, as they were the enforcers. Ray the squirrel, who was recovering from unknown injuries, say alone. He didn't really know anyone.
</p></div>
<p><div name="Normal" align="left" style=" padding: 0.00mm 0.00mm 0.00mm 0.00mm; ">
<p style="text-indent: 0.00mm; text-align: left; line-height: 4.166667mm; color: Black; background-color: White; ">
Ekyt started to see through the red haze. He let himself drift a little as the Locke and Archimedes, the referees, explained the rules. That cheap attack might have done him in, if there wasn't so much on the line. But the stakes were about to get higher.
</p></div>
<p><div name="Normal" align="left" style=" padding: 0.00mm 0.00mm 0.00mm 0.00mm; ">

“…And because Linda-Su broke our ancient code, we hereby banish her from the island.” Locke said regretfully. “What? I protest!” Ekyt shouted. “How so, guardian?” asked Locke. “She was blackmailed into doing that!” “Have you any proof?” “Locke, history has taught many generations the dark legion can't be trusted! They kidnapped Linda's friends and forced her into doing their bidding!” “Be that as it may, guardian, the ancient bylaws set by our ancestors dictate that this action must be taken.” Locke said, sorrowfully. <i>I hate to force the lad to make such a choice, but my hands are tied. Curse you, Kragok!</i>” This left Ekyt with a choice. He took off his ring, the one that had saved his life so many times. “Locke, I wish to disqualify myself from this fight. I was to fight for Linda's honor. But if she isn't here, I shouldn't be.” “Don't be hasty guardian…” Locke began
</p></div>
<p><div name="Normal" align="left" style=" padding: 0.00mm 0.00mm 0.00mm 0.00mm; ">
<p style="text-indent: 0.00mm; text-align: left; line-height: 4.166667mm; color: Black; background-color: White; ">
“<i>I'm</i> being hasty. Look, I have nothing but respect for you Locke, you know that! But you're asking me to make a choice between my home and my job, or the first person to care for me since I came here?” “If you surrender, you surrender everything.” “Locke, listen to reason! Look at me!” Ekyt pointed to his head. “I came to fight, and I'll fight, believe me! Whether it's sanctioned or not doesn't matter to me! If I lose, I'll give myself up to the Dark Legion. If I win, Linda comes back like nothing ever happened.” “Fine guardian. But should you lose, Linda is banished and you are property of the Dark Legion.” “Fine.”
</p></div>
<p><div name="Normal" align="left" style=" padding: 0.00mm 0.00mm 0.00mm 0.00mm; ">
<p style="text-indent: 0.00mm; text-align: left; line-height: 4.166667mm; color: Black; background-color: White; ">
Ekyt rushed Staph. He was out to do damage.
