Description
This is an old pic I did back in, like 2003 or something. It was for my fanfic Flux. (www.fanfiction.net/s/985547/1/… ). I wanted to show a friend how similar Zephyer's design is to Shade's, although I made up Zephyer years and years before Sonic Chronicles was a thing. They even have similar backstories. And attitudes.

Made in my Paint Shop Pro epoch.

Suddenly Knuckles was aware that the red emerald's heat was scorching through his glove. "Ow!" he exclaimed, but instead of letting go of the gem, he dropped the bag of other emeralds instead. His hand wouldn't release the gem, and he found he didn't want to release it. Maybe it was too far away from the other emeralds. He pressed the blue emerald up against the red one.

Double flux!

Knuckles was blasted skyward, spinning, stunned, but still clutching the emeralds. He could smell burning fur and hear himself screaming, and all he could see was a blur. He was tumbling crazily, flailing in midair--

And then he was in control. The echidna righted himself and sank back to the ground as lightly as a feather. His body glowed a bright, poisonous green, lightning crackled over his body, and wind roared away from him in all directions. As he touched down, his forcefield blasted the ground, torching the sand and igniting the nearby desert scrub.

He floated on one foot, smiling. He still held the red and blue emeralds in either hand, now burning as brightly as he was. He did not notice that the sky had darkened above him, or that a ripple of darkness was spreading outward across the world from where he stood. All that he knew was that this Knuckles person had been a goody-goody for far too long, and it was time to show those Freedom Fighters who was boss.

He took one step and shot across the island like a bullet, grass and trees igniting in his path, surrounded by a whirlwind of searing heat.
