.:Two boosters came out of his sides, he then launched at high speeds, going as fast as a bullet:.

Sonic rolled his eyes. "Thats cute," he said, taking it up too 581 mph.

Shell bared her own teeth in response, spreading her wings, but not taking off. She appeared larger with wings spread and neck stretched out in defiance.

.:He noticed, determined to win he turned to his larger form, his boosters becoming larger as whell, his speed boosted to three times faster:.

Knuckles ignored it and continued his steady, almost wolf-like advance. He could deal with big.

With a quick flick of her tail, Shell reared up on her back legs, the wounds from earlier were oozing the creatures venom and had turned an ugly black.

(Oh well. It's about time he broke the sound barrier anyway.)

"Determined, eh?" Sonic said when they were neck and neck. "You might wanna cover your ears,"

.:He tilted his head, but he covered his ears anyways:.

Knuckles frowned. "So, it was never meant for killing." He said, summoning his emerald. "Maybe I can pull a Sonic here..." His eyes flashed a dangerous yellow. "Come at me! Your challange... I accept!" He shouted in response to Shell's body language.

Shell huffed, confusion spilled across her face. She dropped to all fours and shut her jaws. She held her ground.
