[Careful of the quills, those ARE still pointy and it does get a yelp from Sonic to have them grabbed.]

[And he really doesn't have a good angle to force his footing again, so away he goes.]

[Though if Shadow ends up with a quill from that...well, that chaos energy does NOT lessen with distance. Those quills are just as much generators as anything else of Sonic until he severs the connection by force.]

[Sonic grunts as he hits the ground, but he pulls his body in close to roll, and starts the spindash. Time to see how much follow up this Shadow wants to use.]
