Suddenly Tails came sailing over their heads, leaping towards the ROCC behind the two hedgehogs and the scientist. Sonic One saw him coming and leaped high into the air, grabbing the fox by one of his red shoes. The two tumbled to the floor in an untidy heap. The egg that Sonic One had been holding was knocked from his hand went flying, curving across the room - directly towards the ROCC's control panel!
Sonic watched all this - the leap, the fall and the egg - as if it was happening in slow motion. He felt strangely calm and totally in control. As the egg soared in its parabola towards the flashing machine vibrating with chaos-energy, he dropped low, then sprang up into a controlled dive upwards, over the head of Kintobor and over the hedgehog and fox on the floor. The egg began to drop, heading directly towards the large green button in the middle of the control panel below. Sonic stretched out his arm and snatched it out of the air. He hit the floor just beyond the control desk, rolled once, leaped back up and slam-dunked the egg down on the red button.
