One night in the city, the rooftops weren’t quiet—Sonic the Hedgehog dashed between neon signs, chasing a swarm of Eggman’s robots. Sparks flew as metal claws scraped the concrete.

From the shadows, a wildcat leapt onto one of the machines, hissing and slashing with sharp claws. The distraction gave Sonic the opening he needed—spin dash! The robot exploded in a shower of bolts.

When the dust cleared, the wildcat landed lightly beside him. Sonic grinned. “Not bad, stripes. You’re pretty fast yourself.”

The wildcat flicked her tail and melted back into the alleyways, leaving Sonic laughing as he sped off.
