Sonic and the others are relaxing after another hard fought battle against Eggman's forces, following the Chaos Emerald fighting tournament hosted by the president and the battle with Emerl.
"That battle tournament sure was wild!" Sonic remarks, recalling the craziness of the tournament and the ensuing battle.
"You can say that again Sonic! Everyone gave their all, although Emerl went crazy in the end…" Tails recalls the earlier tragedy.
"Yeah, too bad about him…" Sonic reflects on the events. He also considers how Emerl was yet another unfortunate victim in Eggman's schemes.
The somber moment is broken up by Knuckles' entrance, passing through the room.
"Hey guys, what's up?" Knuckles asks, noticing the pair to be a bit quiet.
"Oh nothing. We were just talking about the tournament. Remember? Emerl went crazy and totally thrashed you?" Sonic snaps to attention and asks Knuckles if he recalls his embarrassing defeat, for one who's supposedly an unbeatable martial artist.
"He did not thrash me! He just got a couple of lucky shots in that's all." Knuckles answers Sonic's dig at his earlier trouncing.
"That's not how I remember it." Tails chimes in, providing his own observation.
"Yeah. I seem to recall more than a couple 'lucky hits' Knuckles." Sonic raises an eyebrow at Knuckles' attempt to cast the events in a different light.
"Gah! Whatever! He just caught me off guard, that's all!" Knuckles growls, regarding it as unimportant.
During all of this back and forth teasing, Amy, comes in, wondering if anybody would like to accompany her for an outing.
"Hey guys! Me, Ella, and Cream and Cheese are going out shopping! Wanna come?" Amy asks the trio.
"No thanks!" Sonic replies, not wanting to get dragged along by Amy yet again.
"*Sigh!* Suit yourself! Come on ladies! Bye!" Amy shrugs, and joins the others waiting outside.
Following the girls' departure, Sonic , Tails, and Knuckles shake their heads at Amy's attempts to drag them along, though thankfully she didn't end up using her Piko Hammer in response. Soon Chris and his grandfather, Chuck, enter the room, apparently in the middle of a scientific lecture of sorts.
"So then that's how you do it." Chuck finishes explaining a concept to his grandson.
"Okay. Hm? Oh! Hey guys! What's up?" Chris nods in understanding before noticing Sonic and the others in the room.
"Nothing. We were just reminiscing over the Battle Tournament from a couple of days ago!" Tails replies.
"Ah yes! That was thrilling!" Chuck adds in, trying to make himself out to have been quite the impressive fighter.
"Didn't your back give out?" Sonic asks, not buying the act for a minute, along with everyone else.
"Well yes technically. But I would have shown you all how it's done! Back in my day I was quite the phenomenon!" Chuck tries to deflect the truth by recalling his supposed glory days.
"Oh brother." Knuckles rolls his eyes at the statement.
" Anyways, I'm working on an upgrade to the X-Tornado to boost its speed. Could you lend a hand, Chuck?" Tails changes the subject, remembering he would like Chuck's help on some technical details.
"Why of course! I'd be happy to oblige! Shall we?" Chuck agrees to go and help.
After the two leave the room for the workshop/laboratory, Sonic quickly becomes bored from sitting still for so long (relatively speaking of course).
