There's three of them?

Defective Detectives

Big was at Station Square lying in the grass as the confetti fell in celebration.

"Hey. Froggy. It sure is a nice day." he said and opened his eyes to see a large burst in the sky: Chaos Control. "That's pretty..."

At a house an elderly couple were washing dishes when suddenly the house shook and a small house now landed on top of their house.

At the White House Chuck and Chris were in the Oval Office with the President, Christina, and a guard. The screen behind her was showing several small houses.

"There have been five more confirmed reports, Mr. President. It seems that most of the buildings have landed in parts of the city closest to Mystic Ruin." Christina said.

"Great. And what about all the creatures they found inside?" the president said.

Then the screen showed several animals from Sonic's world. A Flicky was front and center.

"The bird-like ones are known as Flickies, sir." she said.

"And I'm assuming they all came from the same world as Sonic. Right, Professor Thorndyke?"

"Yep. It would appear that way."

"I see. Now then, I'm sure you must be wondering why I asked for you and your grandson here this afternoon."

"You're worried about the arrival of these creatures. You're thinking you need to separate them from humans. You're concerned there'll be trouble between two such different species unless they're... dealt with." Chuck said.

Then the TV turned off.

"We wish we didn't have to. It's just-" Christina said.

"Don't apologize." Chuck said and she looked up. "We understand your situation completely."

But Chris looked depressed.

Meanwhile Knuckles and Sonic were in Station Square atop a building, looking down at the city.

"Have you heard? A couple more people from your place dropped in. Seems every day is like a regular reunion around here. 'Course, if too many of you start showing up, the humans aren't gonna be too happy. They'll probably decide you're dangerous and round you all up." Sonic said and approached Knuckles. "I'm only saying that the authorities won't like your kind around. Believe me, I don't like the idea of you all being locked up any more than you do. ... I should have realized that the welcome mat wouldn't be out forever."

"Yeah. Too good to be true. One day they love us because we're unique, and the next day we're in jail because we're different. Well, they won't take me without a fight."

"Now that's the right attitude. Oh well, we'll just have to make the best of it." she said and walked to the other side of him. "If they come to get you, I'll do what I can to to protect you all." she said and got ready to leave. "Well, I'm off to work. Be careful."

"What's that?"

"I hope we share a cell." she said and flew away, leaving him blushing again and shaking his fist.

"You're batty!" he said.

Later that night, Chris was at the pier, looking out at the ocean thinking while Chuck was standing by the car nearby.

"Don't know about you, Chris, but I'm pretty hungry. Why don't we go home and have a little of Ella's-" Chuck started but was cut off.

"Grandpa? ... I've been thinking... about what the President said?... Do you really think they're gonna... take Shadow away?" Chris asked and Chuck walked over to him and put a hand on his shoulder.
