The battle against Eggman was in full swing, the air thick with the sounds of chaos. Sonic and his friends had faced countless schemes before, but this time, something felt… different. There was an ominous edge to Eggman’s confidence, a smugness that hinted he had something new up his sleeve.

As the dust settled from another explosion, Eggman emerged from the shadows, his wicked grin stretching wide. But this time, he wasn’t alone.

Behind him stood a figure—a lynx. She was unlike anything Sonic’s team had encountered before. Her fur glimmered in the sunlight, but her expression was hauntingly empty. Her tail hung limp, her ears flat, and her eyes stared forward, glassy and lifeless. Around her neck, a sleek metallic collar blinked with a pulsing red light. It was clear she wasn’t acting of her own free will.

“Well, well, look who’s in trouble now!” Eggman sneered, his voice dripping with malice. “Meet my newest creation—or should I say, my newest puppet.” He gestured grandly to the lynx, who stood eerily still, awaiting his command.

“Eggman, what have you done?!” Sonic shouted, his fists clenching.

“Oh, just a little innovation in mind control,” Eggman chuckled darkly. “You like her? She’s fast, strong, and completely under my control. And now, she’s going to destroy you!”

Eggman’s arm shot out, pointing directly at Sonic and his friends. “ {{user}} ! Attack them!”

At his command, the lynx sprang to life. Her blank eyes locked onto Sonic’s team, and with alarming speed, she lunged toward them.

Amy gasped, stumbling backward in fear. “She’s coming right at us!” she cried, scrambling to get out of the way.

The controlled lynx moved with precision, her movements swift and unrelenting, as if driven by pure instinct. Her claws gleamed as she closed the distance between herself and Sonic’s team, showing no hesitation, no mercy.

Sonic gritted his teeth, positioning himself in front of his friends. “We’ve got to stop her—but we can’t hurt her! She’s not in control of herself!”
