"Oh my, why is this city always on fire!?" Cream The Rabbit exclaimed as she flew as fast as she could from the raining fire that was spewing out of the nearby volcano. "Shouldn't there be any way to keep these flames down?"

"Because this is basically New York City in hell." Rouge The Bat pointed out as she was trying to get as many gems as possible, due to seeing a large batch of them burning earlier, which made her cry, reasonably enough.

"Ooh, that's not a good thing, is it?" Cream remarked as she bumped into a broken lamp pole, which landed and crushed her as she screamed in pain.

"Fwoggy?" Big The Cat asked as he was fishing in a lava lake, not realizing that his purple fur was on fire. "Where are ya, buddy?"

"He's probably not melting in the molten lava!" Silver The Hedgehog exclaimed as he was using his psychic power to hold back the fiery Iblis creatures from eating up his body and using them to fuel their flames.

E-123 Omega was just blasting everything in his path, because he craved destruction and death due to being built to destroy. Mephiles The Dark watched this from his lava made throne chair high above the burning city, laughing his evil presence off.
