| Unbeknownest to X-3, Balkin was NOT knocked out, and he watched X-3 walk away from the scene of the crime. Balkin got up and chased X-3, but he was nowhere to be found. He wasn't in the kitchen, the basement, or in his room. Where could that hedgehog be? Balkin decided to go back and drink with Raji and Tako. As he sat down, Raji said, "What took you so long Balks? You've been gone for 20 minutes." "Ugh, I'd rather not talk about it, but if you must know, I got in a fight." Replied Balkin. "Balkin got in a fight. Why am I not surprised?" Commented Tako. "Tako, unless you want that bottle up your ass, I suggest you shut up." Balkin snapped. Suddenly, he saw X-3. "There he is! That's the guy I fought!" Balkin cried, rising from his seat. He walked over, grabbed a beer bottle and tapped X-3 on the shoulder. "Huh? What do you want?" The hedgehog replied. Balkin then brought the bottle down on X-3's head, making the glass shatter and get in the hedgehog's face. X-3 staggered for a moment before passing out. |
