[UGH Shadow, look! He just got passed! Look what you're doing!!

Ugh. If this was literally any other topic, he'd bid Shadow a Merry Go Fuck Yourself and get back to his race. Surge and Kit are kind of a big deal though, and not really a topic he should just brush off. Especially with Shadow who apparently just starts conversations with his FISTS, that combined with Surge's instability is just a disaster waiting to happen.

So, Sonic takes a deep breath and crosses his arms.]

Fine. Short version; they were nabbed by this dude called Dr. Starline. He erased their memories, brainwashed them, and enhanced them with cybernetics and stuff. Meant for them to kill replace me and Tails, but now Starline's dead, so they just wanna kill me and Tails for their own reasons. In Surge's case, she blames me for everything that ever happened to her because I didn't kill Eggman, so the two of you will probably get along just fine.

[That last bit was maybe a little snippier than he'd intended, but it's starting to get a little hard not to be defensive around Shadow okay.]
