Sonic and King K. Rool continued talking amongst each other as they remained in the stadium within the middle, with Sonic deciding it was time to zip away.

"Well, it was nice to have this great chat with you, Sir King K. Rool." Sonic commented as he shook hands with King K. Rool.

King K. Rool nodded his head as he continued to sport his toothy grin. "Aye, it felt good letting out some steam and having someone understand my plight."

Sonic then posed as he winked at King K. Rool. "Here's hoping you get to be a main villain again. Catch you on the battlefield!" And with that, he zipped away from the baseball stadium, running on top of the water as he dashed southward.

King K. Rool walked out of the stadium as he stood at the entrance of the kingdom, his hands on his hips. He nodded his head as he chuckled. "I like that hedgehog."
