Death Battle2010

Wizard:
Desperate for the power to command the world, the Knuckles tribe staged a raid to obtain the legendary power of the Master Emerald.

Boomstick:
What they didn't know is that it was protected by a giant, murderous water dragon with tentacles named Chaos, and it just killed the sh*t out of them.

Wizard:
Miraculously, a young echidna girl survived and managed to seal Chaos inside the Master Emerald. The resulting energy output ripped the echidnas' home into the sky to become Angel Island, perpetually floating so long as the emerald remained in its shrine. Sonic lore, everybody...

Boomstick:
Centuries later, one final descendant of the Knuckles clan remained and his name was... Knuckles. So, not the most creative parenting in the world, but hey.
