"Sonya, it is not that I want to end up back in the lab. I was just saying I can defend myself and you if need be. That I am not a small, defenseless kit anymore." Sonic said, hiding his small annoyance at his sister.

"I escaped when they decided to take me out of my containment for more experiments. I finally rebelled and knocked out the scientists that I was with. The alarms went off as some of the other humans noticed that I escaped, but their efforts to escape were too late. I had smashed the doors blocked my path and made a break for it. They haven't found me yet." Knuckles explained, ignoring the blue male hedgehog that was annoyed with his sister, though he refused to show it.
