In the air, you managed to get out of the condensed Chaos Blast and you landed down on the ground before running towards Shadow and punching him the face, sending him flying for hundreds of feet away into a large building.

Sonic turned and saw this, then faced you, now angry.

Sonic: Hey, man. I'm not sure how you'd feel about this, but I don't tolerate anyone harming my friends.

You mentioned you were just defending yourself but also that you’ve been looking for Sonic to fight him.

Sonic: Well, if it’s a fight you want, it's a fight, you'll get!

Both combatants ran toward each other, ready for battle.
