"Good to have you back, Knuckles!" Sonic yelled over the loud wind, not to mention the screeching of the iron against concrete, signifying the purple car's presence.

"Good to be back, Sonic" Knuckles replied. He performed a ground pound, stopping the car it it's tracks. They were about t get in when the car suddenly jumped up, and formed short legs and a head shaped like a jack-o-lantern. The car then twisted itself up, forming stairs conventiently leading up to the head, in which the Badnik pilot was stationed. The pilot was purple with drills for hands. He taunted Sonic, and Silver notified them that he had the rights, considering the danger of fighting him.

"Knuckles, get up high and glide to the head to punch it. Sonic, use the Yellow Engine Core to blind the pilot."

"Right!" The two nodded. Knuckles started climbing up a nearby pole, and Sonic climbed up the stairs to the head, striking the car with the Ball all the while. Once he made it to the top, he charged up the Engine Core and channeled its energy through the Ball for a light attack, also delivering a pun for luck: "Time to shed some light on the situation!"

The pilot couldn't see, but he fired his missiles anyway."Dang!" Sonic grunted. Nevertheless, he would redirect the missiles by doing what he does best. Once a missile neared his position, he would jump into the air. The Ball would enclose him to protect him. The result: all of the missiles would bounce back at the car, brutally damaging it. This was enough to distract the pilot for Knuckles to jump in and deliver a huge punch to the head, neutralizing the Badnik, and extracting the Engine Core.

After Knuckles landed on the ground, he gave Sonic a high-five in congratulation on the third Doom Express train defeated.

"Good job, fellas!" Silver congratulated firmly."That's three down; four to go! Head back to base."

"I wouldn't exactly call that a "base"." Sonic doubted as he scratched his head."A gazebo o the street with a table and Tails' Electric sitting on it."

"It's not much." Silver admitted."But we don't need much; we've got all we need for now."

"Good point, Silv." Sonic and Knuckles started back.

There's more action this time around. What do you think? Did I get Sonic's personality right this time? I'm doing my best to put in some silly remarks and still have him enthusiastic at the same time. It's harder than it seems. Goodbye, everybloody, stay cool!
