As the sun began to rise at the bougie nightclub Sonic had found himself at, he thought to himself, "Oh, shit, I should probably get headed out to that island that Tails said the laboratory is at."

And in the blink of an eye, he was gone. He managed to snatch his credit card from behind the bar before they closed his tab. As enjoyable of a night he had had, it's not like he'd ever be coming back to this joint, anyways.

He opened up the GPS coordinates on his phone. It took him about an hour to run there. Another benefit of being the world's fastest living creature is the fact that running so fast speeds up his metabolism to a point where he is no longer drunk after a short amount of time spent running.

He arrived at a very small island with a huge, mysterious, intimidating building not far from the shore. It was hard to miss it since it took up the grand majority of the surface area of the island itself. There were no windows and only one entrance: a metal door. It did not look very heavily guarded, though. It wasn't before long that he met up with Tails, who was still in his airplane.

"You're late," Tails nagged him as he stepped down from the aircraft, "Were you out partying again?"

"What?" Sonic said, taking off his sunglasses and tossing them into the ocean, "Me, late? Me, partying? Nonsense!"

"Were those Raybans?" Tails said.

"Yeah, so what?" said Sonic, "I can just steal another pair of them. It'll be fine, Tails."

"Stealing is one thing," said Tails sternly, "But what about the ecological impact, Sonic?"

"It'll be fine…" said Sonic, shaking his head, visibly annoyed, "Once again, look who's talking! I thought I've told you a million times. Since I don't emit any carbon, I can pollute all I fucking want and it all balances out. Unlike you."

"Can't argue with that logic," said Tails.

"What'd you say?" said Sonic, his eyes lighting up with rage, "I don't like your attitude, fox boy."

"Look," said Tails, "I get it. You think you're hot shit because you can literally run everywhere and don't have to be dependent upon technology to get around. But that doesn't give you the right to just pollute so wrecklessly like that. You should be a better example."

"Fuck you, Tails!" said Sonic, "I don't owe anyone anything! What are you, my mom? Geez…"

The two stood in silence for an awkward five seconds.

Then Sonic said, "Well, are we going to kill this copycat of me, or what?"

"About that," said Tails, "I don't think we should resort to violence, Sonic. There's got to be a better way."

"Okay, Mother Theresa," said Sonic in a sarcastic tone, getting even angrier, "Man, I can't believe this shit. You know what, Tails, why'd you even bother coming?"

"I'm here to stop you," said Tails as he drew closer to Sonic.

"Well, you know how much carbon you just emitted into the atmosphere just to come here to tell me this was a bad idea? You could have just texted me! Asshole…" Sonic replied.

And with that, Sonic let out a long sigh, jumped up, and performed his signature homing attack on Tails. Tails lost consciousness and fell to the ground before he even saw Sonic coming. Sonic then proceeded to enter the building alone.
