"I heard of him, the Dragon's who've sought refuge here spoke of his Cruelty, I've even been tempted to use the power of the Chaos emeralds to topple his regime Myself." Knuckles sighed. "However I have not yet mastered the discipline needed to wield such power. Wielding that much power, enough to lift Islands, part oceans, etc. Is a great burden." Knuckles sighed.

Sally sighed. "Well, the Iron King's men have attacked my father's trade caravans and killed many of our men. We fear that it's only a matter of time before he decides to attack Mobotropolis itself. That's part of the reason we decided to ally with you instead of one of the other kingdoms," she said.

"A Wise choice." Knuckles said. "We should go to my father and make the appeal for him to help at once, this monster must be stopped before he destroys Mobotropolis or any other kingdom." Knuckles said leading Sally back to the Palace. Although he hated to cut the tour short, lives were at stake. This needed to be dealt with Immediately.

Sally nodded and followed. "Hopefully, we can put an end to all of this before any more lives are lost," she said.

Knuckles and Sally came to King Levi as he and the queen were playing with Shadow. "Father, I know it is late, but Sally has a urgent plee that must be heard now." Knuckles said to his adopted father.

Levi looked at Sally. "Say it," he said. Sally bowed. "Great king, we have chosen to ally with you because our kingdom is under constant threat of attack from an evil warlord called the Iron King. I ask if you could help us," she said. Levi looked at them. "The Iron King? I know of him. His true name is Jun Kun, and he is very dangerous," he said. He then thought of something. "He might also try to attack us. Knuckles, go to Commander Prower and tell him to strengthen palace defenses for the time being," he ordered.

"Father, I urge you to allow me to use the Chaos Emeralds to depose the Iron king. Did you not see the fear and desperation in the eyes of all those Men, women and children who came here seeking refuge!?" Knuckles spoke as Rosie, the nanny came to take Shadow out of the room. "Father, we have allowed our Political self interests to prevent us from doing what we know to be morally right. True Peace is not just the absence of conflict, it is also the Presence of Justice. We have issued trade embargo's and hid behind the rhetoric of Diplomacy. " The Echidnia said firmly, but as respectful as possible.

Levi looked at him. "Knuckles, I understand. I may not like it, but it must be done. Take care of yourself, and take Sonic and Commander Prower with you," he said.

[Sixshot1988]

"Thank you Father I will also take the rest of Chaotix with us." Said Knuckles, relieved his father gave his blessing for this. Turning to sally, The Echidnia knelled to her. "My lady. I swear upon my honor, the Iron King be brought to answer for his crimes." He Pledged, kissing Sally's hand as proper gentleman would before he rose to go get Sonic, Tails, commander Prower, and the rest of Chaotix.

Sally looked at him. "Be safe, Knuckles. I don't want you to get hurt," she said.
