Sonic wasn't in the mood for a spiel - he thought this guy was gonna keep it short, not tell him stuff he already knew. Sonic crossed his arms and started tapping his foot impatiently. Who was dumb enough to be in this part of town if they weren't gonna fight anyways? They'd get squished! The information session was something Sonic could put up with, though...until they got to "furry little animal power." That was where he drew the line.

"It ain't furry little animal power, buddy," he corrected the guy flatly, then zipped behind him faster than the eye could see. "It's speed." That knowledge imparted, he zipped back around next to Knuckles. "But yeah, 'm in. What's this crazy magic music 'f yours do, anyways?"
