Future RP thing

Knack sat on the bench next to her father, Atlas. Her orange fur and bright green jumpsuit made her stand out. 

Knack - So... You finally found someone willing to help me out? 

Atlas - Yes I did. It just so happens he's a good friend of mine. I'm sure you'll like him. He excels at combat. 

Knack - *slowly smiles* Sounds great.

Thunder and Steins walk twards the bench that Atlas and Knack are sitting on

Thunder- "Hi old bud, this is my son Steins" he said

Steins- "H-hello" he said shyly and held out his hand

It has been years and years, and Cruz's little pals were all grown up and maturing. Both Sypha and Srunks were Married and Shadenks was probably graduating school around now... and though they still welcomed the echidna with open arms, he could not face them again. Due to his dryad curse, he physically had not aged much, but he had shaved his beard and parts of his now long hair were becoming grey and snow white. He happened to have returned to the city park where he and Srunks used to hang out when they were younger, stopping and staring at trees with sorrowful eyes.

Atlas - Hey there *shakes Stein's hand*

Knack - Hi *waves at them with her usually large hand*

Atlas - Man, it's been so long. Anything new?

Thunder- "Um... How about you" he said trying to avoid the subject

Steins- "Mom is sick, She might die" he said

Thunder- "HEY!" He said angry

The echidna couldn't help but turn his head due to the yelling, spotting two familiar figures, and two unfamiliar ones. The tall and intimidating echidna took one step closer to the bench, then another, and one more.

Atlas - What?! Oh no... Was it the dimensional travel? I knew going to that world was a bad idea! 

Knack - Dimension travel...?

Thunder- "You havent told her yet, I alredy told Steins, well it is a large story so it is a story for another day."

Steins- "My mom is a Goddess from another dimension."

Thunder- "WHY DO YOU KEEP SPITTING OUT INFORMATION" he said

Cruz was now basically eavesdropping from behind a park tree. A Goddess? Dimensions? What the heck was going on here?! The echidna remained deathly silent though.

Atlas was more pale than usual. Knack just looked confused. 

Atlas - Do you know why?

Steins- "My dad said you were slaying demons to save that dimension" he said

Thunder- "Which is slightly true it is just to much information to say if i told the truth" he said

This didn't seem like a conversation that Cruz was supposed to be listening to, nor was he still interested. He attempted to quietly sneak away, while acting casual.

Atlas - No... They need to understand 

Knack - What are you guys talking about? 

Atlas - I'll explain later... What is this, disease, she has?

Thunder- "I don't know but she is having flu like symptoms and spontaneous bleeding"

Steins- "Um who is that sneaking away behind that tree?" 

Thunder- "Is that... CRUZ HEY HOW ARE YA" he said

The echidna almost leaps out of his skin, and then begins cussing himself out in a foreign language that they did not understand. But finally, once he had finished, he twisted himself around to face the four of them.

"H-Hi?"

Atlas just looked at Cruz, looking baffled. Knack started backing away, the only thing she knew is that she didn't want to be any part of this.

Steins- "So why was I told to come here with you dad?"

Thunder- "To train with his daughter."

Steins- "W-what, w-with a girl?"

"Well, this clearly isn't my business at all, so I'll just be on my way..."

He spun back around, ambling away...

Atlas decided he'd worry about his sick friend later. She was a goddess, so she'd probably be fine... 

Atlas - You would be suprised... Hang on there Cruz.

Steins- he was persistant to tell Thunder that he wanted to go home because he has a fear of girls and doesn't what to train with one at that

Thunder- "Hold on you are going to train wether you like it or not" he said

Steins- "But dad"

Cruz stopped in his tracks, turning his head slightly and giving his creepiest look to Steins...

"Kid, just train with the damn girl already..."

His eyes them trailed to the ground in a melancholic fashion.


"Don't make the same mistake I did..."

Atlas was curious as to why Cruz was acting so odd. Meanwhile, Knack just waltzed inside and waited 

Atlas - I just thought that... Since you're an echidna too, you could help out Knack

Steins- "Fieenn ill train with her, but only because you know my dad."

Thunder- "Thats mah boy"

Cruz looked in the direction of Atlas, his eyes still cold and unfeeling. He wasn't trying to be scary anymore, but he still kind of gave that impression off.

"Are you requesting that I train your child in my style of combat?"

Atlas - Well... In endurance. I know you've taken some pretty serious blows. She's more into hand to hand combat.
