Chaos erupts as Sonic and Tails throw down against the mad scientist. Sonic blurs through the fray, taunting Eggman while Tails frantically works the numbers. Distracted by hero-worship, Tails falters. A badnik slams into him, and their tech crackles with damage. "Hey! Tails, what's with the daydreaming?!" Sonic shouts, deflecting a scuttling crab-bot. "We can't lose that gear! Focus!" Shame burns hot in Tails' chest. Why no concern for his pain? "You only care about the technology?! I'm hurt too, you know!" "Because we need the tech! No offense, buddy, but you can't fight." Sonic retorts, arm-wrestling a vicious mechanical limb.
