Here’s an idea for Reunited, you don’t have to use it if you don’t want to. That echidna clan should return to try and capture Sonic again. They should come more skilled so Sonic would have a harder time fighting them.
His friends obviously should try helping him out, but Knuckles may have a hard time trying to decide whether he wants to work with the echidna clan or side with Sonic.
Sonic and Longclaw would run away, with Longclaw trying to protect Sonic. It should kinda be like a game of hide-and-seek, with the echidna clan as the seekers and Sonic and Longclaw as the hiders.
Sonic may meet Donut Lord and Pretzel Lady and they can also help fight against the clan.
I don’t know. Just some silly stuff my crazy mind would come up with. XD I haven’t thought out all the details. X3
