Sonic, Tails, Knuckles, Amy, Cream, Eggman, and Metal Sonic, wander around the bright and confusing stage of Not Perfect. They all know that the Executioner, Kolossos, is wandering around the area. Although, they cannot be sure, as this place is massive.

They continue to explore this new environment, Sonic gritting his teeth in annoyance on how blinding it is. Amy rolls her tarot cards, making sure she’s prepared with the buffs the cards give her. Knuckles, with his reckless personality, runs around with fists clenched, searching for the Executioner.

Ironically, Tails, with his flying ability, is the one who spots Kolossos in the distance. The behemoth slowly looks up at the airborne cub, his toothless grin suddenly widening. Tails, obviously intimidated by the smile, immediately flies back down to alert the survivors on where the killer is.

Tails: “Guys.. guys! I found him! I s-saw the executioner!..”

Sonic and Amy turn around, looking back at Tails. Sonic cocks his head in curiosity, while Amy tightens her grip on her hammer. Sonic speaks up, questioning him.

Sonic: “You sure, pal? I mean, how can-“

Cut off by a loud roar, the three look to their side, seeing Kolossos charge at Eggman. Instinctively, Eggman dodges the charge, speeding away out of genuine shock. Quickly, the survivors all group up. Sonic, Knuckles, and Metal stand in front, determination on their faces. Amy and Eggman stand at the sides, fear on the female hedghogs face, annoyance then plastered onto the scientists face. Tails and Cream stand behind since they’re more physically vulnerable.

Kolossos crashes into a wall, but slowly looks back at the survivors, that horrible grin still on his lips. Despite the survivors and executioner being a large distance away, the 7 fighters can’t help but feel uneasy.
