As the spiked ball somes towards Brandon, he has no idea what to do and begins cowering and hoping that something will happen that will prevent the ball from hitting him and causing harm, or even worse than that. "I should've known that flower didn't look right." he says to himself not noticing how his voice got a little bit higher in pitch.
Mary is almost in full blown panic about her son's safety that she didn't catch his higher voice. "Brandon run away from that!!!" she screams at the televsion screen.
Suddenly, just before the ball hits him, it's deflected and flys off in another direction. When Brandon notices that he's fine he looks up to see what looks like a red echidna then destroying the mechanical flower and as it bursts, a bunch of small animals run from it.
The red echidna brushes himself off and turns his attention to Brandon. "You really should be more careful up here. There's a lot of baddies that Robotnik left behind that we're still trying to clean up." he says before extending his hand. "The name's Knuckles. How about you?" he asks.
Brandon then extends his own hand to shake Knuckles'. "I'm Brandon and thank you for helping me out back there. To be honest I have no idea how I got here or where I am even. And actually I was wondering if maybe you could help me get to the temple that I saw and maybe help me find a way back home?" he asks.
Before Knuckles can answer, Brandon changes a little bit further as what was his pants and shirt become a more spandex like material as it turns black. Not only that but the shirt sleeves retract and the top half of the torso vanishes.
