Deep breaths in. Don’t give in to anger. Don’t let that annoying screeching piss you off.

How are all these people getting up to the island…

Deep in meditation, a way to control his temper…or so Amy tells him, anyways.

Knuckles is busy paying respects to those that had come before him, as he does every holiday like this.

He’s doing push-ups with one hand, and a huge boulder sitting on his back.

The mere mention of spirits and the like sent a shiver up the Echidna's spine. Even so, he'd dispel that fear with a shake of his head. "Don't be stupid. We both know there's no ghosts up here." Still not looking back at Sonic, he'd head over to a sizable boulder and crouch for proper lifting form

An audible snort, but he doesn't turn to face the hedgehog. Fists just keep striking at thin air. "Training, what's it look like?"

Stretching his limbs, punching the air a few times. Gotta stay active, you never know when some troublemaker’s gonna try and start something.

“…Huh. The wind’s shifted.”

Arms crossed, eyes shut, enjoying the crisp morning air atop the island. It's the simple things in life that can't be beat.

"Not only does all this racing let me put SOME people in their place, but it's also distracting others from trying to mess with the Master Emerald. What's the saying? Win-win?"

(( I offer you... )) (( A very mean bird. ))

Heh, appreciate the vote of confidence.

Zavok...I'll have to stay even more vigilant.

I fear no flame, for my resolve burns even brighter.

“Really raining hard lately…must be getting to that time of year.” And yet, the guardian stands stalwart all the same.

It’s hard to say. He’s currently on the ground, eyes shut tight, hands on his muzzle, shaking his head from left to right.

I don't know HOW strangers keep finding their way up here, but I will find out, and I WILL put a stop to it.

Sonic’s birthday, huh…I’ll just get him what I always get him. Fresh fruit from the island.

And, before long, the Echidna would be left struggling to breathe.

Sweet, sweet silence…

Knuckles’ eyes widened, and he’d clearly take that threat to heart. It was time to take things in another direction. He’d twist himself the best he could and start tearing at the earth, digging a hole which he could hopefully escape through.

This was utterly humiliating, not to mention painful. He was just glad no one was here to see him struggle. His hands hook beneath the roo’s backside as he tries to lift him off.

Knuckles had to bite his lip just to keep from yelling out from the pain. He’d immediately start shoving and punching at those two tons that pinned him down. “GET. OFF. NOW!”

Knuckles had lifted quite a lot of heavyweights in his time. Yet even so, this roo somehow trumped them all. “Wh-What…?!” He could only grunt as his shoes sank into the ground a little, muscles working overtime to keep from getting outright crushed. He had to throw him, and fast!

And move he would. Knuckles rushed towards the Kangahog’s legs and gripped them tightly. With a grunt and monstrous strength, he’d start lifting him off the ground.

"Oh, buddy. Trust me, this isn't a path you wanna go down." He pounds his fists together, snorting hot air from his nostrils. "Last warning, big guy."

“You can have your vacation somewhere else! This island’s off limits, and unless you want me to force you off I suggest you beat it!”

It’s times like these I’m glad I live alone.

“A vacation—?! Oh no, no no no. That’s not happening. Sorry, but this island’s got a strict no vacancy policy, so I’m gonna have to ask you to beat it.”

He'd raise a brow at that rather simple answer. "You flew." He looked the Kangahog up and down, before narrowing his eyes a bit. "Yeah, I'm gonna need more than that big guy. What're you doing trespassing on this island?"

Knuckles had to just stare for a moment at the sheer absurdity of what he was witnessing. He’s seen some big brutes in his time, but this guy was on another level. Even so, he couldn’t just let him cause a ruckus on the island. Rolling his shoulder, he marched up to Krypt and crossed his arms.-

Eyes shut, arms crossed, standing guard in front of the Master Emerald as usual. "Hmph. At least the weather's nice."

Knuckles continued to do one handed push-ups as the sun reached its peak.

Time for a quick nap while things are quiet…

A slow day...just what he'd been asking for. Finally, he can catch up on some reading.

He's busy cleaning snow off of the Master Emerald's shrine steps. "Of course, the island had to head for a snowstorm..." Knuckles grumbled.

Training time. He's doing one-handed push-ups atop the Master Emerald.

“Espio’s been coming to visit more often lately, says the island’s peaceful atmosphere makes for a great place to meditate. I don’t really get it myself. I’m always on high alert, so it hardly seems that peaceful to me.”
