Surge and Kit walked into Tails’ workshop.

Shadow, Sonic, and Manic were sitting at a table while Tails was setting drinks in front of his friends.

“Don’t worry, I explained everything.” Manic said.

“Where’s the footage?” Shadow asked.

Kit handed Sonic the tablet. “Please watch ‘em quick.” He said. “We need Tails to deactivate the kill switches in our cyborganics.”

Sonic played the videos. “Ugh. Of course he uses that garbage.”

Kit pulled up the blueprints for Surge. “Deactivate her kill switch first, Tails.”

Tails looked at the blueprints. “Surge?”

“I don’t want Eggman to deactivate her if he finds out.” Kit said.

Sonic got up. “Shadow, the rest of the team and I will handle it.”

Shadow and Sonic raced out.

Manic got up and took Surge’s hand.

“Follow me, Surge.” Tails said, heading for his lab.

Surge woke up on a cot.

Manic moved closer to her. “How are you feeling, Babe?”

“Okay, just tired.” Surge said. “So the kill switch is gone?”

“Yeah, and the spyware is gone too.” Manic replied. “Oh, and apparently there was an explosion in the lab. Eggman died.”

“Huh.” Surge muttered.

Manic stroked Surge’s spines. “So I guess that stupid avatar projection was what you kept groaning and whatever about.”

“Yeah.” Surge replied.

“Sonic will tease you as soon as he finds out.” Manic said. “The whole thing will remind him of Cyberpunk. He and Shadow understand, so there’s no hard feelings.”

“At least he won’t be angry.” Surge replied.

“Anyway, Tails will bring in your food.” Manic said.

“You’re leaving?” Surge replied.

“I’ll stay as long as you need, Babe.” Manic said.
