Knuckles blinked as the red scorpion girl - Pyra - seemed to be on the verge of recognizing him, only to suddenly ask her companion - Roxi - who he was, and frowned as the latter called up some information on him that must have been kept on file by Eggman. Valuing his privacy as much as he did, he didn't like that at all; not one bit, but there wasn't much that could be done about that right now, so he punched a fist into his other hand and nodded his head. "That's right, and if you know who I am, then you should know why it would be a bad idea to-" He blinked again, then stomped forward a step with his fist raised in the air. "-hey, what was that being a 'knuckehead'!?"
Echo had followed him out into the open by this point, seeing as they no longer had the element of surprise anyway, and after joining him in demanding her Princess's safe return, the two of them were given confirmation of that fact by Roxi's exasperation, prompting the Guardian to point at the pair once more. "So you do have the Princess, then! Do yourself a favor, and just hand her over! Otherwise this chill day of yours is gonna start getting painful!" he said threateningly.
Neither of the Eggman followers seemed too put off by his threats though, especially Roxi, who decided to simply...leave in order to get a mech to fight them with, and when Echo tried to stop her, she surprised them both with an acid cannon built into her robotic arm, attacking the former with it before darting off into the trees. "Echo, be care-"
Knuckles' warning was cut off though, as he suddenly found himself on the receiving end of a surprisingly powerful punch to the chin, one with enough force to knock him back into a tree, and he slid down the trunk a few inches before he managed to recover, needing to blink some stars out of his eyes and rub his jawline a bit while he stood back up to see Pyra happily celebrating the chance to fight him. "O-Ok...that was...unexpected..." he said with a grimace, raising an eyebrow at the girl's behavior. He liked a good fight too...but...oh, whatever. It wasn't like they were going to give up the Princess willingly anyway.
"Alright. You want to rumble? Let's rumble!" Knuckles said, looking towards Echo before nodding his head. "Echo, you go after that other girl! I'll take care of things here!" he said, gesturing in the direction that Roxi had ran off in before returning his attention to his own problem.
Charging forward with his fist cocked back and a fiery look in his own eyes, Knuckles swung at Pyra in the hopes of giving her a taste of her own medicine. He couldn't say he liked the idea of fighting a girl...especially one who seemed so...chipper, but she was a fighter trying to get in his way, so he had to do something...though he probably wouldn't be able to convince himself to hit her as hard as he actually could. Even Rouge - conflicting and confusing headache that she was - couldn't get him to do that much.
