Knuckles Is Kidnapped!

***London, England***

***Friday, June 21, 1986***

It all began on a dark night in London, England. A horse-drawn carriage was being pulled by its driver. The horse snorted and neighed as it walked into a puddle, causing a newspaper to fly out of the way. Up on the curb, there was a small house of Master Shifu, where there was a lighted window, and six figures are living there.

Inside the house, there two figures. The first one is an 8-year-old badger with orange fur with brown markings on her head, orange and brown dreadlocks styled like braided pigtails, a peach muzzle, a black nose, furry brown ears with peach ear innards, light blue eyes, wearing three pairs of maroon bands, a gray tube top, a matching necklace strung with various objects, a silver spiral bracelet on her left wrist, a golden bracelet around her right shoulder, a gray skirt, an auburn rope belt, and tan unmatching fur-skin boots. Her name was Sticks the Badger.

The second and last one was a 16-year-old echidna with red dreadlocks and purple eyes, wearing a white crescent on his chest and white gloves with four knuckles total, two on each hand, red shoes with green cuffs, silver buckles, a white shirt with rolled-up sleeves, olive green pants, and a green apron. His name was Knuckles the Echidna, Sticks' big brother.

Both animals are celebrating Sticks' birthday. Sticks had just turned 8. "You know, Knuckles," said Sticks. "This is my very best birthday."

Knuckles smiled. "Ah, but...I haven't given you your present yet."

Sticks gasped in excitement, and she chirped, "What is it? What is it?"

"Now, now. Close your eyes." Knuckles advised his sister. She covered her eyes. The male red echidna headed over to a small cupboard. But he stopped as he saw Sticks trying to sneak a peek between her fingers. "Ah, ah, ah, no! No peeking now." Knuckles said.

Sticks giggled as she went back to covering her eyes. Knuckles took out fuchsia toy that resembled a flower bud. He winded up the toy up before putting it down.

Then Sticks uncovered her eyes and smiled as she looked at the flower that transformed into a dancing mouse ballerina with white fur, a pink heart-shaped nose, blue eyes, curvy pink ears, and black hair tied in a bun, which danced.

"Oh, Knuckles! You made this just for me?" Sticks asked with a smile.

Unknown to the two, another was walking down the street and chuckling evilly as it went over to Knuckles' house with an evil smile.

Back inside, the toy has finished her dance. "You're the most wonderful brother in the...in the whole world!" smiled Sticks, as she gave her brother a hug.

Unbeknownst to Sticks and Knuckles, however, there was a loud rattling noise at their front door. Knuckles wrapped his arms around his little sister protectively.

"Who's that?" gasped Sticks.

"I don't know." Knuckles said, who was quite worried. He put the badger into a small cupboard and said, "Quickly, sis! Stay in here and don't come out."

Knuckles closed the cupboard door...and in the nick of time as the same figure burst in through the open window. It was a male lime green humanoid gator with a yellow chest and belly spot, and wearing a dark green army helmet with three small yellow arrows pointing down on the front, a brown belt with three brown pouches on the front, and black boots. His name was General Klump.

As Sticks peeked out, she gasped when she saw her brother fight with the gator, knocking down a few tables in the fight. The fight itself caused the cupboard door to be closed all the way, pushing Sticksg further inside.

"No, please! Let me go!" Shifu pleaded.

"Now I gotcha, Clawboy!" Klump smirked.

"Oh! Sticks!" Knuckles cried.

Before long, all was silent. The young badger was horrified. The whole toy shop was a mess, with stuff destroyed or knocked down. And as if that isn't bad enough, Knuckles was nowhere in sight!

"Knuckles, where are you?" Sticks asked frantically, "Sticks, where are you?" She looked out a broken window in hopes that Knuckles would be around.

Tears were shed as Sticks called out, "KNUCKLES! KNUCKLES!!!"

But Knuckles was nowhere in sight. He had been kidnapped!
