The Boo was then hit by a three foot ninja star thrown by Espio. The Boo cut off its giggling and stared at him and Rouge for a second before charging. Rouge grabbed Espio and flapped up into the air out of the ghost's way. Meanwhile, Tails was flying up above the Boo that had attacked him and Omega to attract its attention. While it was distracted, Omega hit the ghost with a shot from his cannon. Rouge and Espio stood next to one another defensively as the Boo they were fighting stared them down. Then, it picked up a large rock and threw it at them. Before either of them could do anything, Sonic came rushing past them with a spindash, colliding with the rock feet first and pushing off it with so much power, it changed direction and hit the Boo, which then evaporated. Sonic grinned, hitting the ground perfectly and sliding next to Espio and Rouge.

"About time you did something." Rouge said, scratching one of her ears.

"I guess I was asleep." Sonic shrugged. Espio then ran over and crash tackled Omega to avoid an attack from the Boo he and Tails had been fighting. Consequently, the Boo flew right into Rouge's secret kick move and was flung into the air. Omega quickly got to his feet and didn't hesitate to fire now he had a clear shot. With a direct hit, the ghost evaporated. King Boom Boo reappeared. Everyone regrouped into a line. "I'd go back to bed." Sonic warned him. The ghost took his advice, turning and running off into the forest.
