“What do we do now?!” Sally exclaimed, “We're trapped in this mess until we can think of something!”
    “I am thinking of something! My plan is in progress!” sagte Knuckles, “Of course, Emmett and Locke don't know about it and I don't plan on anyone knowing what I'm planning. You're all just going to have to trust me on this.”
    Julie-Su stepped forward, “I've always believed in you, Knux. I trust you.”
    “Me too,” sagte Sally softly as she stood Von Julie-Su, “But if it doesn't work at least if we go down we'll go down together.”
    “Sonic?” Knuckles asked.
    “I...I don't know...” Sonic confessed, “After what happened to Tiara I just...”
    “You think it's my fault...” sagte Knuckles.
    “What? No. It was no ones fault. But if Your plan fails we'll all die, Knux.”
    “Don't worry it won't fail. I've got everything under control.”
    “What about Payback? How do we get her back on our side?” Julie-Su asked.
    “Don't worry I got that covered as well. She's no traitor, I guarantee you. One of us will have to get passed Leiny-Su first.”
    “Leave that to us,” Mouseclaw's voice sounded from behind a large boulder.
    “How did Du guys get here?” Sally asked, “We thought Du were dead!”
    “We had to make him think we were dead so he wouldn't go looking for us anymore,” sagte Scarclaw.
    “If Du need a way to get Von Leiny, then we're in,” sagte Mouseclaw, “That traitor's gonna pay for stealing my powers.”
    Tails had hearts in his eyes as he stared at Scarclaw. Scarclaw smiled awkwardly at Tails.
    “Then that's the plan!” sagte Knuckles, “Sally, Du come with me. Julie-Su, Du go with Sonic and Tails and meet up with Jazz. Mouseclaw, Scarclaw, do your stuff!”
    "G-Good luck, Scarclaw!" sagte Tails nervously.
"You're too sweet, Tails," sagte Scarclaw nicely. She pecked him on the cheek and set out
    “Hey, are Du okay?” Julie-Su asked Sonic.
    “I don't know anymore...” sagte Sonic.
    “You're not just worried about Tiara...are you?...”
    “It's all Locke's fault...Knuckles just isn't the same anymore...”
