Attack on the Wachowski Residence

*"I don't know how you got back, but you made a big mistake coming here."*
―Sonic the Hedgehog to Doctor Eggman[src]
The **Attack on the Wachowski Residence** was an ambush on Sonic the Hedgehog planned by Ivo Robotnik and executed by Knuckles the Echidna. Following Knuckles' finding of Robotnik, they unleash a ring portal to the Wachowski Residence, where they confront Sonic, who is then saved by Tails.

## Background

### Knuckles Meets Robotnik

*"Where did you get that?"
"From a little blue menace on a planet called Earth. I'd be happy to show you the way."*
―Knuckles the Echidna and Ivo Robotnik[src]
On the Mushroom Planet, Ivo Robotnik spend his days building a beacon that would transmit energy waves. When connecting it to a quill stemming from Sonic the Hedgehog, scavengers came at night, but were thwarted by Robotnik's several traps. Shortly after, Knuckles arrives, requesting the origin of the quill. As he explains from where he got it, he shows Knuckles where to find him.

### Sonic's Return Home

*"Okay. It's 48 hours until they come back. We've got TV channels, streaming channels, a house full of food and no supervision. Let's do this."*
―Sonic the Hedgehog to Ozzie[src]
Following the Car Heist of Seattle, Sonic the Hedgehog returned home for a quick nap, although reminded he has to talk with Tom Wachowski about his 'heroism' and lack of responsibility. Following the discussion, Sonic waved Tom and Maddie Wachowski goodbye, as they left for Hawaii to attend Rachel's wedding, and is left unsupervised, allowing him to party throughout the evening.

#### Tails' Arrival

As Tails sets foot on Earth, he tracks Sonic the Hedgehog to the Wachowski Residence, and enters a Green Hills Sheriff's Department vehicle as a disguise to not be seen.

## Attack

*"Where... are my manners? Sonic, meet Knuckles. My new BFFAE: Bestest Friend Forever and Ever!"*
―Ivo Robotnik to Sonic the Hedgehog[src]
Once the lights suddenly turn off in the Wachowski Residence, Sonic the Hedgehog thinks it's a blackout, or a pizza delivery man doing an unprofessional job. Slowly wanting to open the door, Ivo Robotnik reveals his presence, much to Sonic's dismay. As he explains his revenge plans to Sonic, Sonic attempts to punch Robotnik, being hit by his new opponent Knuckles the Echidna in return. Blown into the yard, Sonic prepares for a spin attack, despite being held back by Knuckles in order to get struck down and hold against a tree. He elaborates how he is destined to return the 'ultimate power' to his tribe, despite Sonic's lacked knowledge about Knuckles' subject, believing he is not what or who Knuckles seeks. Knuckles demands Sonic not to play dumb with him, identifying him as the apprentice of Longclaw, which shocks Sonic while he explains how Longclaw is his kind's sworn enemy, making Sonic pay for being affiliated with her. But as Knuckles prepares to further harm Sonic, Tails arrives in the Green Hills Sheriff's Department sheriff car, hitting Knuckles with it and taking Sonic with him.

Upon driving away from danger, Knuckles decides to pursuit them. When Sonic asks an explanation on who "Clifford the Big Red Rage Monster" is, Tails says he is the last of the Echidnas and the most dangerous warrior throughout the galaxy who searches the Master Emerald, something which Sonic thought was a fairy tale. As Sonic notes a red light ahead, he takes over the steering wheel, originally wanting to step on the brakes. As a Splash Hills truck approaches, Sonic drives out of control, luckily speed past the truck, only to be destroyed by Knuckles who remains to chase the two allies. He jumps on the escaping vehicle, breaking the door open. Tails has the idea to fly above the nearby cliff with Sonic, which he does do. The car seemingly drops Knuckles off it as well.

## Aftermath

*"I help you retrieve the emerald, and you use it to destroy that hedgehog!"*
―Ivo Robotnik to Knuckles the Echidna[src]
Whilst Tails and Sonic the Hedgehog fly off into the distance, eventually remaining in the Wade Cave, Knuckles the Echidna climbs back up the cliff and Ivo Robotnik catches up riding a lawn mower. Robotnik messages a depressed agent Stone, who now runs the Mean Bean Coffee Café. Receiving the message, Stone closes his coffee shop in preparation for Robotnik's return, unlocking a pod that delivers Robotnik a new uniform, new and revamped Badniks with the addition of Buzz Bombers and the new Egg-Mobile. He organizes a deal with Knuckles due to their common hate with Sonic, a deal in which Knuckles is lead to the Master Emerald and Robotnik is aided in his revenge to Sonic.

Meanwhile, when Sonic and Tails are hiding in Wade Whipple's garage, they come to find out a hologram of Longclaw is hidden in Sonic's Safe Worlds Map, in which Longclaw reveals more about the Master Emerald and its location, with a new drawing being added of the location of a compass to it being in Siberia. Sonic recruits Tails to an adventure of finding the compass, promising Tails nothing will happen to him.
