Authors' Note: A tag to each episode of The Adventures of Sonic the Hedgehog, of varying themes, genres, characters, and types. Some are better than others, some are longer than others, and it all really just depends on what about each individual episode inspired me.

Tag 1 - The Super Special Sonic Search & Smash Squad
Title: One Way or Another

Really, Sonic wasn't lying when he said that he, Tails, Scratch, and Grounder had been through too much together to all let it end so easily.

Because as much as they were enemies . . .

. . . it was almost like they were playing a game.

It was hedgehog and robot instead of cat and mouse, but all the same, they were playing it. Scratch and Grounder were created for the sole purpose of catching him, weren't they? And it may as well have been that it was his sole purpose to avoid them, to give them the slip, and trick them at every turn. They would never stop chasing him, and he would never stop making them look ridiculous. No matter what traps they created, no matter what they tried, he would always be ten steps ahead of them, taunting them to keep trying again, and again, and again.

In a weird way, it was almost like they were friends, even though they really weren't. In any case, Sonic knew they could never let their chase end. If they did, they'd be out of jobs, and besides:

He refused to believe they didn't find it at least a fraction as fun as he did.
