Fire and debris filled the sky as the ARK blew, since the area the Chaotix was current in was closest to the atmosphere. After about two minutes, burned pieces of the hull began to crash all over the island. The detectives stared in awe at what was happening. As destructive as it was, the explosion was art in motion. The trio was brought out of their daze as a piece landed in front of them, reading ARK.
"Oh no." the three said simultaneously. It was Espio who continued the thought. "Do you think Shadow and Knuckles could have been…"
"That's probably what Endigo wanted to happen." the Chaotix turned to see their enemy, Lock, coming towards them. One hand was on his head, the other holding the switch. "I can't believe I broke the record of my idol, Bean the Dynamite, for Greatest Explosion. I blew up the Space Colony ARK!" the mystery creature threw back his head and let out a dark and evil laugh.
Charmy suddenly snapped "You bastard! You killed our friends all because that psychotic fox told you to!" the bee launched himself at Lock, tears streaming from his large eyes. He began blindly stabbing at his enemy. Soon, with one defining jab, the goggles and hat fell from his head. The Chaotix gasped. "But your…"
"Mighty?" Vector finished. Standing before them was the lost member of their team, Mighty the Armadillo. The only changes to his appearance was jet black hair, indigo gloves, and black sneakers.
"Don't cal me that, you overgrown iguana. I disowned that name after what you've done to me."
"What do you mean?" Espio inquired.
"It all started after our trip into outer space. I had told you on the ride back that I would be checking into a hospital. None of you ever came to visit. Eventually, I felt better and checked out. That's when I felt true pain. I saw a sign for The Chaotix Detective Agency. What do you think I found at the address? The three of you, talking to a client. You had forgotten me."
"But we didn't for…"
"Shut up!" Lock continued. "I eventually found Bean the Dynamite's secret school while I was wandering around Station Square. I decided to join up. They trained me to lose all feelings except my hate for the three of you. On graduation day, I dyed my hair and renamed myself. Two weeks ago, I met Endigo and I knew joining with him would lead me to you." Lock threw a smoke bomb on the ground. As he disappeared, he shouted. "One week until Station Square is destroyed, Chaotix!"
The trio was left speechless.
