Been thinking...and as much as Knuckles values Sonic's advice and morals, he probably would've sided more with Shadow (and Espio). NOT that he'd be okay with killing Mr. Tinker since to him even if he's technically Dr.Eggman this new personality or being isn't the same...however, he would have advised someway to keep a close eye on him so if there was a chance he'd regain those memories or Dr.Eggman returned, he could be swiftly dealt with or it could be prevented. After all...the only reason he hasn't killed Eggman is because he is trying to honor Sonic's wishes of no killing...but that doesn't mean he wouldn't if he has to. To him, at this point, Eggman has forfeited any chances he may have had to change and he doesn't see him ever truly.
#I'm Just Warming Up {OOC}#About the Muse {Knuckles the Echidna}#Had this thought for a while; I know it's been a while since that whole arc...but decided to throw this out there#I already talked about Knuckle's morality stance before and his thought on giving chances before here#His thoughts towards Eggman too; which lets just say IF it wasn't for Sonic half the time? Dude would be dead#I mean; Knux likes to see the 'good' in everyone and give them chances...he does try to help them better themselves...and doesn't judge#BUT Eggman wore out all that good grace with him and as far as he's concerned? That man isn't going to change#Not at all#Mr.Tinker he'd of been more apathetic towards due to him being 'not truly Eggman'; but he'd still be cautious too#He'd understand WHY Shadow or Espio wished to kill him...and he doesn't view those stances as wrong either#But he would still not want Mr.Tinker killed; mostly for Belle's sake#But otherwise? He'd of not batted an eye beyond that...#Eggman however? He's only not murdered cause Sonic been there...but if not? WELL--#Plus; he'd rather be the one to do it just to spare Sonic that 'duty' if he could/can...

Knuxadow headcannons?
Oh god, where to start…. okay
Despite practically no canon interaction they have always been mildly curious about each other, since they are both filled with Chaos Energy to the brim
Neither really showed it though
They eventually became good friends after they kicked each other’s ass
Shadow does enjoy his races with Sonic, but he found equal as much enjoyment in competing with Knuckles. No harm in letting fists speak from time to time
He was salty though because Knuckles is far superior to him in strength
Shadow loved spending time on Angel Island. It’s quiet, mostly nature, Chao and only one other person around which also happens to be a rather quiet calm one. An introverts dream!
Shadow was the first person Knuckles came out to ( I mean everyone here is gay in one way or another but still)
Knux was also the first to fall in love with Shadow.
Shadow kissed Knuckles first
He was also the one proposing
Knuckles is shy and easily flustered but god damn can he get jealous. Shadow doesn´t mind it much and refers to it as “He’s better than any guard dog”
They don´t do a whole lot of PDA when they are around others, but Shadow can´t resist teasing Knuckles from time to time just so see his beautiful blushing face. He knows when to stop though
Despite that, Knuckles is actually incredibly touch-starved and a sucker for any kind of affection Shadow bestows on him.
While sleeping Knuckles barely uses a pillow anymore, preferring to snuggle into Shadow’s chest fur (It’s very soft)
And when he doesn´t he still needs to have some sort of contact. He definitely is also the little spoon!
There is generally a lot of touching involved with these two
They. Love. Brawling with each other! Obviously just for fun. They’d never hurt each other. …much
There was one instance though in which Knuckles accidently broke Shadow’s hand *cough*
When they aren´t tussling, they definitely enjoy gardening together. Silver sometimes participates.
Did I mention Chao before? Because Knuckles eventually gave Shadow a Chao Egg which he lovingly raised into a Shadow-Chao. Her name is Pretzel.
While being at names, they are both beyond awful at giving names. Seriously, never let them name anything.
Shadow is an extreme sweet tooth (rivals Charmy in all honesty) much to Knuckles annoyance. He doesn´t hate sweets but he prefers natural sweet fruit. Knux also has a tendency to hide Shadow’s sweets if he feels he’s having too much. Shadow is running out of hiding places.
Knuckles is weak for Shadow in suits. He learned by chance when they were invited to Vector and Espio’s wedding. Mr. Ultimate Lifeform found that very amusing. At least until he realized they were getting late.
Shadow is a crazy cat person in every meaning of the word. It started innocently out with one which Knuckles had no problem with. He likes cats too. Until he found out Shadow snuck in more. Knux was freaking out because cats are an invading species and he didn´t want Angel Island’s ecosystem destroyed! Did it stop Shadow? Nope. But he eventually admitted that 10+ cats were maybe a bit too much. Don´t worry. He found them all loving forever homes. He still ended up keeping three to which Knuckles reluctantly agreed.
Don´t. Ever. Mess with their family. They will have the head of whoever was stupid enough to do so
Yes. Family. Because they have 2 kids :D
Aaaaaand that’s all I could think of from the top of my head. Hope they are enough!

285. Sonic Universe #12
Knuckles: The Return (Part 4 of 4): Echoes of the Past (Part Four)
Writer: Ian Flynn Pencils: Tracy Yardley! Colors: Jason Jensen
Things are certainly dire, as both teams of heroes (minus Julie-Su and Ray, still up on Angel Island) have been captured by Finitevus and the local Dark Egg Legion chapter. Finitevus gloats about how well his plan has gone, that he found the Legion when he was investigating the very same ruins that had Knuckles so confused, and from there orchestrated an alliance between himself and them, so they could capture Angel Island for Eggman/the Iron Queen's regime and Finitevus could study the Master Emerald at his leisure. After monologuing a bit at the furious Knuckles, he takes his leave to go oversee Angel Island being reeled back into the Great Crater, something which… really should be more stunning to everyone involved, if you ask me. I mean, literally the past several centuries of echidna history have been irrevocably shaped by exactly this concept, returning the island to the planet's surface. Dimitri did his whole godhood insanity thing entirely because people didn't agree with his plan to set this in motion, and perhaps even more importantly, his plan was shown to have failed in an alternate timeline, causing the island to crash into the earth and kill everyone on it. Apparently, this entire time they shoulda just been using regular ol' chains to do the job! Imagine after so many hundreds of years of this being an issue, Finitevus really did just accomplish the task with some random chains. But anyway, Finitevus leaves the prisoners to the overwatch of Bill, who so far hasn't said a word during Finitevus' speech despite his former friends being among the imprisoned.
Oh no! Whatever horrible tortures are about to befall our heroes? The torture of having their shackles fall off harmlessly, as it turns out. Yeah, of course Bill didn't just turn evil for no reason! Though he does appear to have some beef with Vector, remarking angrily that he'd have preferred if Vector stayed chained up. Man, what in the world did Vector do in the past that pissed off so many people? Barby demands an explanation, with her dialogue vaguely hinting that she and Bill were possibly involved romantically, so Bill explains that several months ago when Eggman began pushing in this region, the other platypuses decided they wanted a little taste of that power and began demanding to join up. Bill couldn't talk them down, so instead, he went to Eggman and voluntarily joined his cause, becoming outfitted with cybernetics along with the other platypuses, hoping to manage the situation from within. Apparently he never found a chance to tell his former teammates that he wasn't actually evil after all, but he's been doing his best to mismanage the campaign in Downunda without seeming too suspicious. Everyone is pleased and relieved, and he urges them to quickly make their escape so he can play it off as having been overpowered while separated from his backup. Thrash happily obliges, and reveals his own special power - yelling so loudly that it can break down doors. The fight against the Legion in the crater quickly commences, but Walt encourages Knuckles to head back to his island while they carry on the fight here on the ground. Vector can't see a way to get back up without their warp ring, but Mighty apparently has an idea of his own.
I just need everyone here to remember that according to canon measurements, this island floats forty-three miles (69 km) in the sky. Yes, I realize that's only the case because Penders didn't create his units of measurements with sanity in mind. No, that does not mean I'm ever letting this fact go. It's also worth noting that this entire arc portrays the crater as not looking much bigger than like, a mile across at the most, but the island is forty-seven miles (75 km) across at its narrowest. I mean, we already knew that no one pays attention to matters of scale in these comics, but still, I notice, and it bugs me to no end. Consistency, people!
Anyway, Mighty tosses Knuckles alllll the way up to the island, as the fight continues to rage on the ground, and he hops up over the edge just as Finitevus is about to put his grubby hands on the Master Emerald. No sign of Julie-Su or Ray anywhere, huh? Knuckles is immediately ready for a fight, but Finitevus tries to talk him down, actually apologizing for forcing him into the role of Enerjak before. Knuckles still isn't buying it, but then Finitevus hits him with the bug guns - Dimitri actually wasn't the first Enerjak. Finitevus claims to know everything about the echidnas' history, the fact that Enerjak goes back much further in their history, the true history of Albion, the origins of the mysterious ruins in the desert, even some secret about Aurora and how she may not even be a real goddess. Knuckles is clearly torn for a split second, because damn are those some juicy-sounding secrets, but he's shaken back to reality when Finitevus tries to pull the "We're two of a kind, you and I" trick and promises, if he joins him, to give him "anything he wants." And what does Knuckles want?
Finitevus is not amused by Knuckles' defiance, and turns the fight around on him while mocking his childish desires. Hilariously, he actually does the cool-guy thing of catching Knuckles' punch in his own hand, which seems badass until you realize we're talking about the guy with spikes on his fists. I can only assume Ian forgot this little detail, or else the rest of this issue would just be Finitevus yelling in agony at the two brand-new holes that had been punched into the palm of his hand. Knuckles powers up with the energy of the nearby Master Emerald, while Finitevus summons his… I dunno, dark black evil-guy energy or whatever, and they go head to head, Knuckles reciting Tikal's prayer for strength, while Finitevus puts a new twist on the same chant.
I actually don't get Ian's fascination with Tikal's prayer at all. It's always recited verbatim from the version of it in Sonic Adventure, but personally, I always felt like it was strangely translated in that game, not really making a ton of grammatical sense, or any real sense at all, really. I mean, the chant was originally just supposed to describe the relationship between the Master Emerald and the Chaos Emeralds, but that's not relevant at all in this universe given the vastly different origins of both - the Master Emerald in the comics isn't a direct counter to the Chaos Emeralds like in the games, but one giant Chaos Emerald itself. I dunno, maybe this is just a nitpick, but it still confuses me.
Finitevus is impressed by Knuckles' display of raw power, but decides to end the fight quickly, and pulls out one of his warp rings, encircling it around Knuckles midsection and happily threatening to close it while Knuckles is still only halfway through. However, at that moment Julie-Su finally makes her entrance and shoots Finitevus in the shoulder, distracting him long enough for Knuckles to grab him and make good on his promise to throw him off his island. That doesn't seem like a proper solution to this threat at all, but eh, whatever, Knux is happy with it I guess. He, Julie-Su, and Ray all head back down to the crater, where the Downunda Freedom Fighters have finished running the Legion off for now, and say their goodbyes. Barby makes a remark that her father would have been proud of Vector, hinting at yet more unexplored history between him and the others, but he still refuses to explain further when Ray tries to pry. Thrash leaves through a warp ring of his own, making some odd comments about how it would be such a shame if the rest of the echidnas were to be wiped out - this guy really doesn't like echidnas for whatever reason - and with the threat settled, Knuckles and his friends finally head back onto Angel Island for some peaceful rest.
Yeah, gee Vector, I wonder why no one found a body? I mean, it's not like Finitevus has demonstrated that he can warp himself to safety mid-fall during literally the previous big battle against him or anything. Of course, he's safe and sound, and heads back to the crater once it's clear to watch the island's departure and muse to himself how his plans aren't through yet and he's ready to kill Knuckles when he next gets the chance - anything to put him closer to the Master Emerald. Let us know how your quest to off one of the comic's most popular characters goes, buddy!
