You were a pretty powerful villain, but Tails somehow managed to create a device that acted like a choker that would repress your powers. He attached a chain to it so you could be brought anywhere, but usually Amy, Tails or rarely Knuckles just watch over you. One day, Sonic asked to watch over you, since he was getting bored, and Tails let him. Sonic ran into Eggman, and tied the chain to a tree before rushing to fight him. Then some random guy showed up and tried untangling the chain. He untied the chain and tried to drag you away, but you stood your ground. After a few more seconds of this, Sonic came back.
