"You know, I wasn't sure how I was going to find you, Jason." Lightning said. "Lucky for me, you're pretty popular around here and all I had to do was look in the newspaper."
"So, you're the one responsible for all the recent attacks." Jason said.
"Of course." Lightning said. "I just woke up. I need to learn how to use my powers." He raised his right fist. "But I think I'm getting the hang of it."
He brought his fist back and was about to launch a lightning bolt when Wave tackled him to the ground. The lightning flew passed Jason and blew a hole in the side of a building. Wave held down Lightning's arms.
"Foolish girl." he said. "Don't you know what happens when you get too close to lightning?"
He aimed the palms of his hands at Wave and sent out bolts of Lightning flying in every direction, most of which hit Wave.
"Wave!" Jason said, getting to his feet.
He ran at Wave, dove in the air, and knocked her away from Lightning. She rolled across the pavement, smoking. Lightning shot up and grabbed Jason by the throat.
"No matter." he said. "You're the one I want."
Blaze ran over to help Wave and Sonic took off towards Lightning, who saw him coming and fired lightning at him. Sonic dodged the attacks but Lightning was faster and as Sonic got close enough, grabbed him by the throat, too.
"Get it through your heads." Lightning said, zapping Sonic with lightning, sending him flying into a nearby building. "You can't beat me. I'm more powerful than all of you."
Silver levitated a car and threw it at Lightning. Lightning saw the car and launched lightning at it, causing it to explode. It turned into a fireball and hit him and Jason.
"Jason?" Silver asked.
Jason crawled out from under the car. "LET'S GET OUT OF HERE!" Jason yelled.
"Good plan!" Silver yelled back.
Knuckles and Tails helped Sonic to his feet and Blaze helped Wave and they all headed back to headquarters. Lightning punched the car, sending it flying off of him and into a building. He stood up and looked around. There was a huge crowd that was suddenly starting to disappear fast.
"This isn't over, Jason. Not by a long shot."
