Chapter 3: Sonic the Cat? Nope, Something More Unexpected!

Sonic, Tails and Knuckles woke up with quite a headache. They were shocked, what was once a crowd of humans became a crowd of kitty cats. Fearing the worst, Sonic looked at himself, Tails and Knuckles, but thankfully they were completely unchanged. The Soleanna Cats reacted in many different ways. Some of them just cried. Others ran around hysterically, while some kept pinching themselves, hoping them would wake up from a dream. Tails was the first to speak the obvious.

"Looks like Eggman Nega has a device that turns humans into cats. Judging by the cat Metal Sonic had, it's Elise, the Princess of Soleanna."

Sonic just closed his eyes again and shook his head. "First cards, now cats, darn that Eggman Nega!"

Tails brought out his classic line from Sonic Heroes "Sonic, what are we gonna do?"

"Don't worry Tails, we'll get to the bottom of this!"

Sonic, leaving Tails and Knuckles behind, ran after Nega.

"Stop right there Nega and let the Princess go! I already know I am immune to the powers of your device!"

"Hee hee hee, so you think, do you hedgehog? It's because this device is set to change human DNA, see this dial here hedgehog? If I turn it to here, ahh there, what do you want to be Sonic? Hmmm? A Rat perhaps? How about a Skunk, would people still love Sonic the Skunk? Let's find out!"

But as soon as the trigger was pulled on the device, someone else from behind was kicking the device away, but unfortunately it ended up hitting them instead. Something with a huge, black tail stripped in red fell to the ground in front of them.
