The two chased him to downtown. Finally Eggman stopped his floating craft in the middle of downtown. "Alright doctor, what are you up to ?" Shadow asked. "What makes you think I'd tell either of you ?" Eggman said . Then he saw Tails and Knuckles run over. They'd actually stayed in the city since they last saw Sonic. "Well the gang's all here, I might as well spill the beans" Eggman said.
He pushed a few buttons and the craft released a strange ray gun. "What he doing ?" Knuckles asked . "You got me" Sonic said. The device blasted a strange energy in front of it. It started to look like the empty space in between them was, opening. Then, Eggman smashed the controls.
Sonic and the others looked at this strange vortex in front of them. It shot energy blasts in every direction, and it was starting to get bigger. "Oh my god, he's ripped a hole in space and time !" Tails shouted. "HAHAHAHA, and soon it shall consume all of Station Square ! with the four of you out of the way, the rest of the world will be easy pickings HOHOHO !" Eggman cackled.
The Vortex continued to increase in size. "What're we gonna do !" Knuckles said . "Any thoughts Tails" Shadow asked. Tails then remembered an old scientific theory he'd once heard. "There might be a way" he said. "What is it ?" Shadow asked. "If we can throw a projectile into the center of the vortex, it will close" Tails answered. "Sounds like a plan" Knuckles said. He then picked up a car. "Uh, it's not that simple" Tails said sounding sad. "What do you mean ?" Knuckles asked. "Well, in order to repair the temperal imbalance inflicted on the space time continuum, the projectile must contain biological properties" Tails said. "ENGLISH !" Knuckles shouted.
"It has to be alive !" Tails yelled. "...You...you mean.." Tails answered Knuckle's question by saying "One of us".
