[...How was he to know that's what he meant? There are a number of other things he thinks of before believing people give a damn about him. That that think he's incapable, weak, need to rely on someone else in order to function. It's a force of habit of his to tell people off when they speak for him. Like they know him. Even with Sonic...maybe one day, he'll learn to differentiate all of that from genuine kindness with him. That moment has passed though and they still have an enemy to deal with.

Expecting Sonic to make his usual name calling the monster and then jump right on in, it doesn't happen. He gives him a quick glance when asks what they should do instead.] ... [Eyes return to the monster to assess. It's body being mostly eyeball makes him think that is it's weakpoint, but that seems too straight foward. A creature like this would have defensive measures to keep it's eye safe.]

Split up, it can't watch us both. [They're going to be in for a rude awakening when they discover it has another eyeball on it's back. For now , energy crackles in his left hand Shadow forms a chaos spear that he can hold.]

It's eye might be it's weakpoint, but I don't trust it. Observe and strike where necessary. [Their attacks need to be cleaner and more precise. Who knows how much tougher their foes will get from here on. The eyeball creature let's out a cackle, tired of waiting on them to strike as it's eye glows. Clouds form above as a shower of meteors start to fall onto the arena. Shadow teleports away, reappearing just above the creature and fires his spear at it's eye. With a wave of it's large wing, it deflects it away. Eyes glowing again and now casting fireballs. Attention currently on the black hedgehog.]
