Tech felt something cold on his neck & opened his eyes to see a collar clamped around his neck; the coyote tried to use his powers to get it off but he couldn't. The coyote opened his mouth to scream for Knuckles but no sound came out; he walked out of the room & knocked on the door to Brawl's room, the red echidna answered & saw the collar,
"A collar?" The coyote showed the echidna what was happening to him,
"A curium collar," the red echidna tried to pull it off,
"Man, that thing's on tight," fortunately for Tech, he was wearing his clothes he had worn before meeting Knuckles. Nology flew over & transformed into a knife to cut it off but ended up getting a headache, the silver chao transformed back,
"Unbreakable too," Tech's ears drooped,
"Don't worry man; we'll find a way to get it off." They told the others & they all tried to get it off; even Bridget's powers couldn't get it off.
"I'm sure the Loonatics would help get it off,"
"If Bridget couldn't, what makes you think Ace could?" Shadow asked the chameleon,
"To be honest, Ace is stronger than me; plus there's the rest of the team,"
"She's got a point," Espio agreed; Knuckles easily took the collar off in a few seconds.
Tails readied his time machine for Tech to get home, he had another curium collar around his neck; Nology, Chocola, & Bridget chose to go with him,
"Stick together, guys,"
"You got it,"
"We're gonna miss you guys,"
"We'll see each other again someday," the coyote held the chao as he & the gray bunny stepped into the time machine,
"Bye guys, we hope to see you all again," as soon as they disappeared, the machine shut down; Tails was scared as he checked the machine,
"I only had enough power to send them home."
