History[]

Phantom Riders[]

The Phantom Rider and the Eggstreme Gear are grabbed by Nite the Owl and pulled into his van. Sonic prepares for a fight, only to recognize Nite's voice as that of the event announcer. Nite is amused by Sonic's reaction and introduces himself and his vehicle to the hedgehog. Sonic also meets Nite's partner, Don, who comments the events in Misty Spire. Sonic states that that was not him, which Don had already suspected to be the case. Don sees Jet ahead of them and pushes Sonic out of sight until the hawk leaves, after which Nite offers Sonic cocoa. After listening to Sonic's explanation of what happened, Nite asks if he is worried about them possibly revealing his identity, but Sonic answers that it is a bit late for that. He explains that although he would have preferred to keep it a secret, he will still do what he needs to do regardless of what the world thinks since his friends are counting on him. Sonic asks Nite what he and Don are up to. Nite explains that the Chaotix Detective Agency have been investigating Clean Sweep Inc. for a while and were going to search around the shuttle, but he and Don have not heard from them since, which is why they approached Sonic. Sonic tells them that Tails and Amy are on the shuttle and might know something about Team Chaotix if they can find them. Don returns from repairing the Phantom Rider's control panel, and Sonic is able to transform into his full disguise again, setting off to get to the bottom of the situation.^[1]

The Bad Investment would later be used by Nite, Don, Jewel, Rough and Tumble to escape the crashing ship eventually landing with Nite bragging to Don about the RV being a good idea.^[2]
