Tails, Amy, and Knuckles were still after that pesky yellow balloon. Amy and Knuckles ran on the sandy shore, watching as the balloon hovered over the calm seagreen waters. Tails emerged from the tropical jungle foliage, having dried himself off after falling in the pit earlier.
"The balloon's over the water!" Amy exclaimed as she pointed at the balloon.
Knuckles scoffed as he folded his arms. "So what? If it's over the water, then we can swim to it!"
"But what if it goes too far?" Amy asked as she held her hands together.
Knuckles slapped Amy across the back of her head. "Quit your complaining! You can swim!"
Amy and Knuckles growled at each other as Tails got in between them.
"Knock it off, you two!" Tails interrupted as he spun his two tails, "I can fly with my tails, remember?"
Much to their disbelief, the trio of humanoid mammals suddenly felt rain. The clear blue SEGA skies disappeared, replaced with dark clouds, white lightning zapping out as it started to pour harshly. Amy, Knuckles, and Tails covered their heads with their hands, watching the balloon being harshly blown about.
"That balloon is being triggered by the wind!" Knuckles exclaimed as he opened his right eye.
Amy placed both of her hands on her face. "Oh no! This is terrible!"
Tails shook his fists. "We can ride in the Tornado! Just follow me!"
Tails headed towards the east. Amy and Knuckles nodded, and they ran after Tails, trying to keep themselves as dry as possible.
