"Everyone alright?" Jason asked when everyone was back inside HQ.
"I'm fine." Wave said softly.
"No, you're not." Blaze said, still holding her. "You got hit with lightning and you can barely walk."
"What about you, Sonic?" Jason asked. "How has the lightning affected you?"
"I didn't get hit with a lot like Wave so I'm fine."
"Great." Jason said. "Well, at least now we know what we're up against."
"Yeah." Sonic agreed. "We know that it's going to be close to impossible to beat him."
"Oh, come on." Jason said. "Just because he can control lightning?"
"How can we face someone like this?" Blaze asked. "He's stronger and faster. There's no way."
"There's always a way. We just have to find it."
Lightning jumped down in an alley. It was night and no one was around.
"I understand you found Jason?"
Lightning turned around. Marek was standing at the other end of the alley.
"Yeah, I found him." Lightning said. "He got scared and ran away. You sure he's the one?"
"Positive. He defeated Mekka, Zephiles, and Mephiles and his Dark Creatures. He beat Shadow, so yes... he's the one."
"So, why'd he run?" Lightning asked.
"Because you are his weakness."
"What?" Lightning asked. "His weakness is lightning?"
"Yes. During Mekka's fight with Jason, he found his weakness."
Jason ran at Mekka and slid under him. Mekka swung but missed. Jason stood up behind him and stabbed him in the back. Jason pulled out the sword and Mekka fell to his knees.
"Not bad, Jason."
Jason raised his sword, getting ready for the final blow when, out of sheer bad luck, he was struck by a bolt of lightning. Jason fell to the ground. He felt strange. He tried using his psychokinesis but it wouldn't work.
"What's happening to me?"
Mekka stood up and turned towards Jason. "Well, well, well. Looks like you do have a weakness after all." He pushed some more buttons on his wrist. "It's over for you." he kicked Jason hard. "You should have never betrayed me."
"I didn't betray you, Mekka. I betrayed my friends."
"Which reminds me; when I'm done with you, they're next."
"You see, Mekka gave you a new ability that night. You were originally just going to be a copy of Super Sonic but after that night, you gained the power of lightning. If you play your cards right, Jason won't be able to touch you."
"Nice." said Lightning. "I think I can use this to my advantage."
"So, what're you going to do now?" asked Marek.
"I'm gonna pay Jason a little visit."
