History
When Sonic and Tails infiltrate Metropolis Zone in search of their missing companion Bunnie, they encounter the Foreman and an Egg Soldier, who turns out to be Bunnie in disguise. Bunnie knocks the foreman unconscious, and tells Sonic and Tails about the new shield generator which Eggman had commissioned to be built in Metropolis. As Sonic and Bunnie make their way to the generator, however, the Metropolis Egg Army is dispatched to prevent their escape and capture them. The army manages to surround Sonic and Bunnie around the doors to the vault that stores the shield generator, but an earthquake forces the army to retreat to its secure shelters, and the Freedom Fighters escape aboard the Tornado with the shield generator.
