"Sonic." Silver started."This is what is to happen. Eggman is sure to have activated the Doom Express's second function by now. They each dispatch a special kind of robot, each with the ability to reconfigure into different sizes, or different numbers. This means that, no matter how many times you beat a robot, it will always come back, unless you use the Engine Cores to nullify their powers. This will make them possible to destroy, but harder to beat."

"Well, that sounds easy." Sonic concluded.

"There's more."Silver continued." The Engine Cores need to be charged in order to work. To do so, you need to deactivate your super transformation until they are at full capacity. Next, you collect 50 rings or defeat 50 ordinary Badniks, Whichever comes first."

"Still sounds easy." Sonic denied.

"Come on! What's it take to impress you?" Silver complained.

Sonic chuckled."Sorry, Silver, but I've been running and fighting just about my whole life; none of this is really new to me."

"How 'bout this?" Shadow chuckled."What if you had to save Amy every mission?"

"Gaah!" Sonic broke into a sweat."Well, self resurrecting robots are challenging enough, I guess."

"Heheheh!" Shadow giggled.

"By the way, since I already know all about what Silver's up to, what was he whispering to you about?" Sonic asked.

"Pfffffffff! AHAHAHAHAHAHA!" Shadow started to laugh uncontrollably.

"Answer me!" Sonic demended. Shadow kept laughing.

"Trust me, Sonic, it has nothing to do with the mission whatsoever!"

"What? Silver, did you gossip to Shadow about me?"

"I'll never tell." Silver was also on the floor. Sonic was I a boiling rage, which was uncommon for him. He pulled on his quills in stress.

Just a bit of comic relief, and keeping you up to speed on exactly what's going on. I know, you were probably expecting action, but I (don't) guarantee that you'll get some o' that next chapter. Please read and review, and, kids, don't point lasers at people's faces. See ya later, everybloody!
