Blaze dusted herself off and got to her feet, checking Marine over to make sure she was okay. "No, we didn't," she explained. "Captain Whisker never chased people down and tried to make them fall in love."

She sighed. It felt so weird to have to explain it, but she did her best. "Back at the academy, Eggman created these robots that had weaponry that made people fall in love at first sight. We called them Cupid bots. I'd HOPED that was one of the things we left behind with Final Destination City, but it seems Eggman is up to his old tricks again, somehow."
