Well jeez, wasn't the whole point of this to take down the monster before it did any more damage? They'd never get it finished if they slowed down! On the other hand, leaving your team behind was pretty dumb when you didn't know what was out there...

Sonic compromised, slowing down a bit and turning around, flying backwards. "Hurry up, slowpokes!"

Of course, the problem with not looking where you were going was you often ran into things. Unfortunately for Sonic, rules like that tended not to make exceptions for him. His flight was stopped as he rather abruptly plowed into something. For once common sense prevailed, and he turned around to see what he'd hit before mouthing off at it.

It was another monster. Another, big, nasty-looking monster.

"Oh man..."
