It was too late for him. There was no way he

could save Knothole this time.

Sally stood beside his body, hoping he was

still strong enough to get up.

The tears that streamed from her eyes

glittered like crystals. "Sonic..." she said, her expression growing sadder by the second.

She looked at the blue hedgehog's body,

beaten and bloody. "A power ring won't work this time."

"Good then." growled a voice. The expression

of his tone was sarcasm. "Why are you standing here, Sally? You need to get back to Knothole, NOW."

"But why, Manic?" Sally asked him. "What's

the use? We'll never stop Snively and his troops if Sonic's weak!"

"Come on, princess." Manic said. "Tails and Sonia will make sure Sonic's alright. You need to come to Knothole. NOW."
