Tails. TAILS. They are Chao my guy, you've taken Chaos 4, defeated Eggman in both brain and brawn on multiple occasions, and have saved the world with Sonic for years AND YOU CAN'T HANDLE TWO CHAO?? This stuff either stops Tails' growth or destroys it all together sending the kid right back to 0

Like I get the second picture cause you could argue he's cowering from Zombot Knux and Shads but honestly with Cheese slowly turning his tail silver makes it look like Tails flat out gave up against the Chao while Knuckles and Shadow are just watching with disappointment. Yeah I see that Tails says "I can't shake them!!" But bruh I've seen you fly with your Tails in worst situations and come out fine, 2 CHAO SHOULD NOT BE THE WORST THING TO OUT FLY.

And while I get it, it's Cheese and Chocala. These two are no push overs because they literally sacrificed themselves for Cream but given again, IT'S TAILS I THINK THE KID SHOULD BE ALLOWED THIS ONE WIN
