Knuckles hadn't even bothered to pay attention to the dancers. He knew there was something else going on here, and he wasn't about to let his guard down. He grinned when the shadow beings showed up and immediately dove into the fight, all sharp knuckles and strong fists. It looked as if this party wouldn't be a complete waste after all.

When he saw Sonic, he followed him, already having an idea as to what the hedgehog was doing. "Hey, Sonic," he called. "Don't hog all the action for yourself." He couldn't care less about the Heartless unless they attacked him - which some of them were, from time to time - and what he really wanted was for Hades' face to meet his fist.
