In Green Hill, a yellow streak goes over Hedgehog's Pass. The streak curves under the pass and hops over a small rock. It zooms from tree to tree and breaks through a bigger rock and swerves over the grass to break other rocks. A black figure spins with a yellow streak in its weight and flies high in the air then lands, sending bits of rock flying. Shadow the Hedgehog stands with a scowl on his face and turns then speeds off. He leaps at another rock then shatters it. He leaps again and destroys another rock. He looks around and runs through another one. With black and red fur, white gloves and gold rings, he leaps at more big rocks and pummels them. Ahead of him, a green jewel floats.

"Chaos Emerald."

Shadow approaches it and holds it.

"There you are."

He holds it up.

"Chaos Control!"

Shadow vanishes then reappears on the pass. He skates on top of the grass and slides to a stop. He looks around and notices little birds, Flickies fly upward. Shadow looks down to see pebbles on the grass shaking. He then looks ahead to see a giant glowing sparking shockwave heading toward him. He stands, ready to fight and the shockwave engulfs him.

In a red core of a purple void, a blue and purple streaks spins inside the purple ball. Shadow's gloves and rings reach toward it. Another flashes before his eyes and they went wide in horror to see scared Gwen punching on the invisible wall that's keeping her from escaping.

"Help! Somebody, help! Help!!" she cried.

Shadow reaches towards her only to hit the invisible wall between them. Suddenly, Gwen gets sucked into the vortex of oblivion. She tries to hold on and reach for anything, but it was too late as she disappears.

"NO!!!!" he shouted.

A blizzard of bubbles sparks flies around him. The shockwave passes as Shadow glares up ahead.

"Sonic."

He then softens as fear come across his face.

"Gwen..."

Shadow speeds through Green Hill again as his yellow streak flashes between palm trees and rocks. He wears rings on his black and red shoes, which slide over the grass on yellow pockets of air. Some distance ahead, gold rings float in lines as Sonic collects them in full speed. His blue streak and Shadow's yellow one head towards each other. Sonic sees Shadow and screams and couldn't stop himself as Shadow punches him into the air.

"So, I know what you're thinking. 'Sonic has a twin brother?' Well, no. I'd rather have a sister than having a brother. This guy right here is Shadow, and he's kinda my biggest rival."

The scene shows Shadow breaking the rocks like a boss and skating in speed with yellow streaks behind him as it showed his shoes.

"He's also real buzz-kill. And by the way, he roller-skates like my sister!"

Shadow turns to the readers as he skates.

"They're air shoes."

Back to them as Sonic falls on the ground. He gets up and looks at him in shock.

"Shadow?!"

"What did you do?" Shadow demanded, stomping towards him.

Sonic gets up, looking confused.

"What did I do? Eggman's the bad guy, remember?"

"You literally shook the world. You even put Gwen out of existence!"

Shadow skates towards him and tries to attack him when Sonic jumps over him and lands, collecting the rings along the way.

"That's 'cause I'm good. And powerful, apparently. Jealous?"

Sonic speeds off as Shadow teleports behind him and chases him.

"Also, what are you talking about? I'd never hurt my sis or whatever you said. I wouldn't know what to do without her. Maybe my winning disrupted your brooding? Or is it sulking? That's a word, right?"

Shadow spins up and lands.

"You need to stop, Sonic, and listen for once!"

Sonic zooms past Shadow and does it again. Shadow chases him again as they speed around palm trees and bushes. Shadow skates up on the path and jumps on Sonic, who goes flying.

"Whoa! Whoa! Whoa!"

Sonic lands running, but trips on the rock and runs on his hands instead. He looks upside down and sees Shadow still chasing him. He looks ahead and sees big rocks and spins over them. Shadow plows through them. Sonic turns quick at the wall and Shadow runs on it and skates up on the path again. He jumps in front of Sonic, who spins behind him. Shadow spins around the tree and hits Sonic, causing rings to fall out of him. Sonic slams into another tree and loses more rings.

"I could do this all day!"

Sonic throws coconuts and Shadow teleports away from them and runs at him. Sonic dodges as Shadow hits the tree. They both use the tree as a ramp and fly. Shadow teleports closer to Sonic and knocks him down.

"Whoa!"

Sonic spins in the air as he screams until he hits the ground as Shadow lands. Sonic gets up and puts his hands up.

"Clearly you're angry, which is normal."

He goes back to running and Shadow chases.

"But I'm supposed to be on a bit of a mission here, Shadow!"

"What mission?"

"None of your business. Or as my sis would say 'Nunya business!'"

They zoom around the green clearing. Some Flickies gather around the cliff and watch. Blue and yellow streaks cross over each other. Sonic spins around Shadow to make a tornado. Shadow makes a tornado that grows taller and Sonic busts out of his. Shadow follows and knocks Sonic into the air. Sonic lands and jumps away from Shadow, who catches up and punches him. Sonic slides across the grass and into a rock under the Flickies. They tweet at him, who looks up at them.

"I know, we're fighting again. Don't worry, guys, I'll calm him down."

Sonic takes off and Shadow lands on the rock and chases.

"Dude, whatever the beef, we're not gonna settle it this way."

Sonic turns and jumps over Shadow then runs off. Shadow teleports in front of Sonic, who dodges the jump. Shadow teleports again, lands, and punches Sonic. Sonic runs around Shadow and Shadow spins after him, who dodges a punch. Sonic ducks another punch, spins, and flips onto his feet. They spin at each other on the ground then in the air. A white light flashes as Sonic and Shadow are on the ground and then they get on to their feet after. Sonic turns to the mountain and gasps. Explosions could be heard and seen from the top of the mountain.

"Oh, no! My friends! My sister!"

Sonic turns to him.

"Look, Shadow, I'm late—"

He was cut off by Shadow punching him in the face.

"Learn to focus." Shadow said.

Three blue Flickies fly around Sonic's head to show his dizziness from the hard punch.

"I can't remember a thing after that punch."

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

In New Yoke City, on the roof, Knucks jumps from one building to another as Rebel flies by him. They go to another roof and duck from Babble's bot carrying Sonic, Gwen, and Nine.

"Are you sure we were best friends?" Nine questioned.

"I even question myself whether me and Sonic are related." Gwen said.

"Well, that's hurtful." Sonic said.

"The blue streak has a friend?" Knucks questioned.

"Didn't look friendly. But whoever he is, he's involved now. Along with her."

A beep was heard and Rebel answered her watch to reveal a raccoon.

"Hey, boss! You gotta get back to HQ now. There's something you gotta see."

Rebel and Knucks look at each other then run across the roof. Rebel flies and Knucks jumps off the roof and they go down to a pipe. Rebel slips inside and Knucks lands and follows her. Residents stand on a moving sidewalk by a street. Underneath, a paint of logo of a cracked egg marks a wall of the big room with computers and the map. Doors slide open as Rebel and Knucks enter.

"Rebel Rouge, Renegade Knucks, right over here." Raccoon said.

Rebel steps into the computer and types. Footage from the train station plays as it shows Sonic and Gwen fighting against Nine.

"Snap out of it! We go way back!" Sonic pleaded.

"Please! Just stop and listen! Please be rational! I don't want to hurt you!" Gwen pleaded.

The footage cuts to Sonic's next words that shocked them.

"Don't you want to go home? Blue skies, sunny beaches, palm trees?"

It later cuts to Gwen's face that made them have hope.

"Did he just say...?" Knucks started.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

In Green Hill, Flickies fly up pass the leafy trees. Rouge sleeps upside down with her wings covering her like a blanket. Suddenly, loud stomps was heard and a coconut falls, causing Rouge to wake up.

"Huh? Whoa!"

A loud stomp causes the tree to shake Rouge off and she lands on her feet. Behind her, something plows through trees as Rouge watches them sweep away.

"Huh?"

More trees fall and other trees bunch up as something pushes them and Rouge gets pushed too. Eggforcers push the trees and kick up dirt around them. Rouge hangs on then flies up above them. She watches dirt clouds cover the grass and goes higher. The Eggforcers pushes the line of trees away and more trees fall, shaking the ground. Rouge hears a scream and turns and spots Knuckles on the dock.

"Get away!"

He punches the robots into the water as they march towards him.

"Stop destroying our forest!"

Another robot stalks toward him and Rouge swoops down and carries Knuckles away. They heard a shout and look down to see Gwen in her military outfit slicing off robots with her giant sword while kicking them away.

"Back! Get back!"

More robots start to surround her as she struggles to fight back. Rouge swoops down while carrying Knuckles, who holds a hand out to her.

"Gwen!"

Gwen looks up and jumps over the robots and uses them as a trampoline for her to jump towards them and grab onto his hand. They fly up in the air and look down at fires burning. Steel and concrete buildings take the place of hills. The Eggman logo appears. A path becomes a train track. Cliffs turn into curving buildings with neon. Walking residents stop on moving sidewalks.

"No..." Gwen voiced out.

"It's gone. All of it." Knuckles said in disbelief and sadness.

Suddenly, Gwen gets determined.

"No. Not everything is gone."

Rouge and Knuckles turns to her in surprise.

"We'll get it back. We'll get our home back."

"How? It's... it's hopeless."

"You don't lose hope, Knuckles. If you do, you lose everything."

Rouge and Knuckles stare at her before smiling, knowing she's right.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

At headquarters, Rebel turns to Knucks.

"The blue guy is obviously an enemy of the Council too. And Iris is alive. I don't know how, but I know this. They're strong, fast, and they know we can make a better world. That's hope. That's what Iris means."

They turn to a palm tree under a light.

"Let's get 'em out." Knucks said.

"And save Iris."

They then run off. Their comrades keep looking at the single palm tree with grass and rocks in a cylinder.

Meanwhile, at the Chaos Council Headquarters

"Those in favor of stress-testing this blue rabbit then to Iris, say yes!" Done-It said.

"Oh, yes, please!"

"Let's see how powerful he is."

Most of the council watches Sonic dodge lasers. Flying eggs beams spotlight down on the moving sidewalk where Big and Froggy stand. Rebel and Knucks hide from the spotlights. The council watches Sonic duck and jump from shooting flowers. Sonic jumps through cones before they mashed together. Don't plays his mobile game. The flying eggs sweep with their spotlights. At council headquarters, Rusty watches Sonic's data and types. Sonic runs on a propeller. Mr. Doctor Eggman grins and nods.

"Interrogation protocol engaged."

A spotlight falls on Big and Froggy.

"Denizen 1-9-9-8, you were seen with the blue hedgehog and Iris Gwen. Explain yourself."

Rebel and Knucks land on a roof and look towards council headquarters in the distance.

"There's a small chance we can get in through the ventilation system." Rebel explained.

"How small?" Knucks questioned.

"You don't wanna know. First, we have to get through the fortress firewall."

She brings out her watch to show the hologram of the map to the headquarters.

"If we set off its sensors, the guards will be on us like Mr. Doctor's bad toupee. They probably have the hedgehog and Iris up there... in their lab."

"Alright, stealth it is."

Rebel looks at him, which he notices.

"What? I stealth!"

"Stealth is not your thing. But it's adorable you're willing to try. Like how you're willing to try and win Iris' heart, but we both ended up winning her heart instead."

"'Adorable'?! And Iris... she..."

Knucks struggled to find a word but ended up shaking his head, while remembering Iris choosing both of them as her lovers and they've been dating and working out pretty well.

"If it makes you feel better, before we can stealth properly, we need a diversion."

They look at the giant egg-shaped council headquarters. In the lab, the council, Rusty, Gwen, and Nine watch Sonic speed around inside the hamster ball. Rusty sees Sonic's energy readings go from purple to red. Nine stands on guard while Gwen starts to get angry.

"Oh, I knew it. He's got the same energy that powers the city."

Sonic's screams can be heard as he pushed forward to more speed. Gwen starts to glow even brighter as electricity sparks around her until she yells at the top of her lungs.

"STOP!!!!"

Sparks and volts flicker through the ball. A white flash goes off. In a blue and purple void, streaks curve and twist. Sonic spots Shadow's shape ahead.

"Sonic, it's broken! It's all broken!" Shadow said.

"Shadow? Uh-oh, I think I'm starting to hallucinate!"

Sonic keeps running and energy explodes through the lab at the same time with Gwen's electricity power from her outburst. The shockwave bursts out of the headquarters and enrolls through the city. Rebel and Knucks brace themselves and the shockwave throws them back as it passes. It leaves everything behind at dark. The shockwave hits a bot and a flying egg and both of them fall from the air. The shockwave hits chopper bots and the propellers stop and they fall. They land by residents, including Big and Froggy.

On the roof, Rebel and Knucks gets up looking at the sudden blackout of the city.

"How's that for a diversion?" Knucks chuckled.

Rebel and Knucks walk toward the council headquarters.

"The power just went out."

Rebel looks down at the street and watches Big step up to a dead chopper bot. He pushes it with his foot. With Froggy on his shoulder, Big smiles. Another resident kicks another bot and more residents do the same. Big and Froggy look at each other and head off.

"This has literally never happened. Is this what luck feels like?" Rebel asked in shock.

"Feels more like a trap to me." Knucks said.

"I don't know. First, the blue hedgehog and Iris shows up, and now New Yoke City loses its power."

"Ah, maybe you're right, but it feels like a traaaap!"

Rebel picks up Knucks and flies toward council headquarters. Inside, they reach an intersection of two tunnels with an emergency lighting on the sides. They look down one way and Rebel runs that way and Knucks follows.

In the council lab, Sonic flows and floats downward in a spiral and lands on his back with a groan. Gwen collapses from the outburst she let out and would've fall to the ground if it weren't for Nine catching her. The lights come back on and the council struggles on the floor. Nine and Gwen's Eggforcer guards wake up and stand. Rusty Rose wakes up as well. Outside, lights turn on throughout the city. Chopper bots rise and the moving sidewalk start again.

"Denizens, order! Return to formation!"

The residents obey, but some are having second thoughts.

"If it happened once, it could happen again! We gotta join the resistance!" they whispered to others.

In the lab, Mr. Doctor Eggman touches his hair only to feel bald.

"My toupee! My toupee!" he screamed.

He then finds the hair and puts it back on. Done-It struggles to get back to his floating egg seat.

"Ah, so help me... I tell ya what, I..."

Don't finds his mobile game over.

"Ugh! I almost had the high score!"

Rusty turns to her screen and types. She looks at Sonic then to Gwen, who slowly gets up with the help of Nine. Sonic flashes back to the Paradox Prism in the cave.

"Paradox Prism." he mumbled out.

In the cave, Sonic was speeding towards the Paradox Prism.

"Sonic, wait!" Tails called.

"Sonic! Stop! Something's wrong!" Gwen called, roller skating after him.

Shadow appears in the cave entrance.

"Shadow?"

He didn't get the chance to think as the ring that held his hands and feet grabs onto them again in its bubbles. The ring flies between two robot arms and they take hold of it. The council sits in the floating chairs again. Gwen notices her handcuff was halfway cut and secretly smirks to herself in victory. Sonic tries get out of the bubbles, but grunts in frustration.

"So, what do I get for passing the test?"

He snickers before sighing, looking tired.

"Did this blue rat figure out a way to steal our power supply along with Iris?" Done-It asked in shock.

"Correction, Your Eminence. They did not draw on the city's power, but—"

"They brought their own." Nine cuts Rusty off, shocking Gwen that he's telling them.

"What?! What do you mean, they brought their own? How does the two hedgehogs walk in here with the same power supply as our battery?" Deep questioned in shock.

Done-It sleeps for a second before quickly waking up. Sonic chuckles, looking like he's on drunk while Gwen glares at the council that are looking at her as well.

"Incredible! Our crystal plus their energy charge would give us enough power to finally stamp out the resistance and put an end to those pesky rebels forever!" Mr. Doctor Eggman said.

"You'll never take them down!! Not when they have hope!" Gwen shouted before getting tased by the Eggcrusher. "Watch it!"

Babble starts babbling something before giggling, which shocked the council.

"Uh, really? Don't you think that's a little excessive?" Mr. Doctor Eggman asked.

Babble slams his fist on the table as an answer.

"You heard the baby. Energy extractor."

Mr. Doctor Eggman claps.

"NO!!" Gwen shouted and get tased again.

Above, steam gushes from a large hole. Sonic looks up. Wearing handcuffs, Nine looks up along with Gwen. The council looks up and so as Rusty. A machine extends out of a hole. It has a nozzle in the center and long spike on each of two arms. It gets closer to Sonic.

"Anyone else having bad dentist flashbacks?"

"Don't remind me..." Gwen said.

"Cut out the prismatic energy he's got inside that prickly hide of his! Then we'll do the same to Iris!" Done-It said.

"Wait! Can a hedgehog say his last words?" Sonic said.

The council looks at each other before looking at Sonic.

"Fine! But be brief!"

"Well... uh..."

Sonic inhales sharply, trying to think of something until he was cut off.

"Hey, hedgehog! Get on with it!"

"Right. I just wanna say that this life of mine has been a wild ride."

Nine and Gwen winks at Sonic, who winks back twice. Gwen starts breaking the handcuffs with her electricity.

"Who would've imagined the places I'd go or the chili dogs I'd eat when I got there."

Mr. Doctor Eggman smacks Done-It from sleeping again.

"Uh, I'm here. I'm... I'm listening."

"But at the end of the day, it's not about the ups or the downs or the zigs or the zags. It's about the friends we made along the way."

Sonic flashes back to Tails in the cave.

"Sonic, wait!" Tails called.

He gives Tails a thumbs up until he flashes back in the lab.

"Huh? Uh..."

"Enough with the winking already!" Mr. Doctor Eggman snapped.

"I'm almost done, I'm almost done. Where was I? Uh... uh... um..."

"Oh, boy."

"Ah, friends! Right! Alright, let's see, um... Froggy and Big. Ah, always there when I needed a pick-me-up. Rouge! Oh, Rouge with her... with her heart of gold hidden beneath her wings. And, uh, and Knuckles with his... knuckles! I would also like to thank Amy." he said, glancing at Rusty.

"Thanking? Does he think he's winning an award?" Deep questioned.

Babbles screams in anger and impatience, waking Done-It up.

"Babbles is right. It's almost dinner time. Finish him and then after dinner we'll finish Iris for good!" Mr. Doctor Eggman said.

"Oh, already? But I'm not done." Sonic groaned and whispered to Nine and Gwen. "Hey, Sir Winks-A-Lot, there is a plan, right? Right?"

"Nope, sorry. Just dust in my eye." Nine said, rubbing his eye.

Gwen wasn't paying attention to him as she's busy getting out of her handcuffs as she's almost done. Sonic gulps and looks at the machine that's coming close.

"Looks like this is game over."

The extractor spins and glows red. Mr. Doctor Eggman drums his fingers together. Rusty and Nine watch as Gwen went faster at cutting the handcuffs. Sonic blows on the extractor and looks at Nine and Gwen, who looks up, and shuts his eyes.

"See ya, buddy and sis."

Just as it comes closer, something knocks the extractor away. Rebel swoops up from it and floats with two fists. The Chaos Council gasps. Sonic looks around and smiles.

"I'm alive! I'm alive!"

"Rouge?!" Gwen exclaimed in shock.

"Iris!" Rebel smiled.

"GET HER!!" Chaos Council shouted.

Two Eggforcers fly after Rebel. One fires at her. Nine sees Rusty distracted and sneaks away. Gwen manages to break out of her handcuffs and roller skates towards the Eggforcers. Knucks crashes into the lab.

"So, we done stealthing?"

Rebel lands and puts up her fists.

"One hundred percent."

"Stealth, huh? Impressive, you guys." Gwen said, landing besides them.

"I-Iris." Knucks gasped, looking happy to see her.

Gwen turns to them and frowns.

"Sorry, but it's Gwen."

Rebel and Knucks looks at her in confusion, but she zooms past them towards her brother. The extractor shoots a laser by a ring arm.

"Hang on, Sonic!" Gwen called.

Rusty jumps in and blocks Gwen, Rebel, and Knucks and slams them into the wall.

"What's going on? I can't see." Sonic cried out.

"Don't worry." Gwen groaned out as they push Rusty back against the extractor.

"Wait, wait..."

The laser cuts into the ring arm.

"Wait!"

The arm breaks and releases the ring. It rolls away with Sonic still inside as he screams along the way.

"Filthy rebels. Destroy them!" Mr. Doctor Eggman ordered.

Bots fly at Gwen, Rebel, and Renegade, but they punch them away. The council moves back from falling bots. Don't dodges another falling bot. In the air, Rebel throws a bot against the wall.

"Eggforcers, secure all targets." Rusty ordered.

Three Eggforcers rise from under the floor and fly. Knucks punches the bot. The Eggforcers at him. Knucks turns to punch them only to see the Eggforcers electrocuted and exploded after. Smoke cleared to reveal Gwen did the destruction as smoke comes out of her two fingers from releasing electricity. She blows off the smoke from her fingers and winks at Knucks before skating off, leaving him speechless. Rusty runs from her screen and Nine sneaks up to it, ducking from the fighting. With two of his mechanical tails, he starts typing. The handcuffs releases him. Meanwhile, poor Sonic keeps rolling in the ring.

"Whoa!"

An Eggforcer flies by him and spins it, making Sonic scream more. Like a coin, the ring spins slower and rolls to lie flat on the floor. Nine types some more and the bubbles release Sonic.

"Okay, hedgehog, you're up."

Sonic stands unsteadily.

"A bit woozy from all the lab testing." he said and chuckled. "Rouge? Knuckles?"

"How do you know our names?" Rebel demanded.

Rebel pulls up Rusty and kicks her away. Rusty pulls Rebel to the floor. With her robot arm, Rusty grabs her, but Rebel kicks free and flies away from Eggforcers' fire.

"Rebel!"

Rusty turns to Knucks and dodges his punches and grabs him by the tail and throws him at the wall.

"Oh, come on, Amy. Why you gotta hate on 'em like that?" Sonic groaned.

Gwen throws her fan at Rusty and hits her on the head, catching her attention. She gets into her fighting stance and gestures Rusty to come at her. Rusty glares and both standing several feet from each other. Rusty charges at Gwen with her fists and attempts to punch her, only for the light blue hedgehog to acutely dodge all of her blows. Rusty brings down her right fist to land another blow, however, Gwen manages to push her away. Rusty leaps into the air and extends her robot arms at Gwen. She jumps and lands safely several feet away while avoiding the laser. Rusty charges at her as she rises to her feet. After dodging several more attacks, she manages to backhand her forehead, causing her to fall back a few feet from the impact and charges at her again.

The two continue to duel, eventually making their way in the middle of the fight. Gwen manages to grab hold of Rusty's arms and knocks her to her feet with an electric blast. Rusty lands roughly  on the ground. She gets up to see Gwen, who moves both her arms in a circular motion, generating electricity. She readies the attack and to fire at Rusty Rose, only to see white flashes to regular Amy smiling at her and giving her friendship bracelet she made. Gwen frowns and redirect the electricity, causing it to strike at the Eggforcers that were attacking Rebel and Knucks as they exploded in the process.

Rusty looks at her in shock.

"I can't hurt you, Amy." Gwen said.

Rusty's eyes flickers from red to yellow for a moment, but she shakes her head and glares.

"Big mistake."

She leaps with a pointy fist, and Gwen jumps away. Rusty stalks towards her and punches. Meanwhile, Sonic runs and flips from the attack of the Eggforcer. He dodges back to another wall.

"Man, why is the room still spinning?"

Sonic jumps away from the bot and jumps over another one. He sees a third coming and spins and knocks back three Eggforcers.

"Whoa!"

He bumps into the extractor and its laser ray swings around wildly. It cuts down an Eggforcer.

"Ugh, feels like their luck ran out." Knucks groaned.

The laser cuts across the wall and cuts off the tops of the council's chairs.

"Or maybe not." Rebel said.

The councils screams and zooms into the place the new Eggforcers arrived and escaped down through the floor. More Eggforcers come to life. One leaps to throw a punch, Knucks meets it, and the Eggforcer explodes. Knucks flips over another one and punches two back. Another Eggforcer runs, but Knucks knocks it down. Nine types at Rusty's screen as blanks for a password appears. He tries one, but it buzzes as Don't's laughter could be heard. Nine tries another, but receives another buzz.

"Access denied."

Nine screams in frustration and slams his fists down. The extractor laser heads for Sonic, and he ducks away just in time. Nine tries another password, but it buzzes again.

"Uh-uh-uh."

An Eggforcer comes up behind him, but Nine cuts its arms with his metal tails and pushes it into the lasers as it explodes. Knucks jumps from attack and punches Eggforcers and turns to Nine. Nine points a metal tail at him.

"No. Catch up, Echidna. I'm one of the good guys."

Knucks looks at him for a moment before running off. Another password fails.

"Ha, ha, loser!"

Nine growls. Back to Gwen and Rusty as Gwen dodges more punches from Rusty's robot arm. She flips back, but Rusty grabs her neck and slams her into the floor and holds her against the wall. She makes a fist with her other robot arm and aims it at Gwen.

"Iris, terminate."

Sonic turns and gasps along with Nine, Rebel, and Knucks.

"SIS!!/IRIS!!"

Rusty flies at Gwen with her fist as she goes for a blow.
