Master Emerald the Echidna

Description

I've been meaning to draw a for comic some time... so I did! It's just a short, silly, one page comic about the Master Emerald turning into an echidna, mostly just to practice drawing comics!

The echidna shall be called... Emerald! (for obvious reasons, haha) They're a surprisingly melodramatic, childish weirdo, for someone who was a stone for millions of years. Also, Emerald is genderless and uses they/them, not he/she or she/her (just clarifying so no-one is confused, since it's not common)




In case you can't read my hand-writing above, here's the comic in fanfic form:
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Rouge and Knuckles stared in shock at the echidna standing in the shattered remains of the Master Emerald. Both treasure hunters knew the echidna before them was far more than a mere mobian; even now, the last traces of green were leaving the emerald, entering the echidna via tendrils of green chaos that the echidna seemed to draw in.

Emerald, for their part, was equally confused. Needless to say, it was quite a change to go from a rock to a living, breathing creature. As they felt a strange sensation, the feared they were cracking, before realizing their body had just started to lean to the side automatically.
'I can... move!' they thought as they experimentally lifted an arm.
'I can...' A wave of fear doused Emerald from head to toe as they realised they had become unbalanced, and slowly started to fall backwards. Fearfully they squeezed shut their eyes, melodramatically lamenting, 'Well, I guess is the end of my brief life. I guess I moved too far, too fast. This is the end.'

With a dull thud Emerald hit the ground. But this only excited them, draining them of fear. 'I didn't shatter!'

Rouge, meanwhile, had recovered from her shock. Smiling, she offered a hand to the previous Master Emerald. "Need a hand?"

Knuckles scowled furiously and grabbed Emerald beneath the shoulders, holding them away from Rouge protectively.
"DON'T TRY ANYTHING, THEY'RE ONLY THREE MINUTES OLD!!" he paused, then added in a mutter. "Either that or millions of years old, I'm not really sure."

"They're just a kid?" Lifting Emerald up higher, Knuckles ignored Rouge and walked away. 

"Don't worry, I'll protect you in any form." His emerald's new form only made him feel more protective than ever, no matter how confused he was.

Emerald knew this from past experience, and didn't really care. They were more concerned with their new body.
'I think I shattered something inside me,' they worried. They then dismissed this as unimportant. Their guardian would take care of them, like he always did. Hopefully he could also give Emerald ears of some kind - what was the point in being alive if they couldn't have ears?

Emerald lifted their hands up so they could examine their fingernails. Being alive was so weird, they could feel their nails growing. And their quills. They could feel their stomach growling and their mouth breathing in oxygen. Being alive was weird, and they decided to go back to being a rock as soon as possible.

I know how this would happen.

Tikal was revived as the Master Emerald
