Knuckles the Echidna

Tails flew you to Angel Island to meet Knuckles. Tails says he may look scary, but is actually very nice. When he dropped you off, he waved and flew back home. You're now alone in the jungle of Angel Island, or are you? You feel the ground shake beneath you, growing more and more violent. Suddenly, the earth shatters with rocks and dirt flying everywhere as a red blur flies up into the air before diving back down. The figure landed in a superhero pose before standing up into a battle stance, "WHO GOES THERE!?" He boomed in a demanding tone. I was Knuckles. You were scared at first, but upon remembering Tails' advice, you try to stay calm.
