So far, Knuckles' attempts to go through the home world portal Sonic had told him about were unsuccessful. The Master Emerald wanted him in FDC for whatever reason and he hadn't been able to go through.
But what the heck. Giving it another try couldn't hurt, right? And seeing as everyone else was headed on through, it seemed silly to not at least give it a shot.
Strangely enough, it worked. Maybe it was because he was with the others. Maybe it was a result of what happened on the Egg Carrier. Maybe it was just because the Emerald figured he could use a break from the city. Whatever it was, it let him stroll on through onto the green grass of the Island. Not His Island, of course. But something close enough to make him feel rejuvenated.
He didn't have the same reaction to Eggman's condition as the other two seemed to. He kind of saw it as justice being served. His relationship with Eggman was a little different to the other two, for starters - he'd been used by Eggman a few times, had his home set on fire, his animal friends bombed by Eggman's Eggrobo, and had been electrocuted to within an inch of his life by the guy who he'd thought was an ally at the time.
His sympathy was limited, frankly.
Still, he cared about Sonic and Tails and if they needed some support, he'd be kind of a jerk not to give it to them. Tails was just a kid, after all. (No he's not, Knuckles. Not anymore.)
He wasn't going to fish, of course - hey, hadn't they just risked life and limb to save a bunch of critters!? But there was plenty of fruit around and that was fine by him.
