Synopsis
The story opens with Sonic, Tails, Amy and Sticks fighting Dr. Eggman in his Big Boy mech on the beach. As members of Team Sonic move in for the attack, each helping coordinating the other while saying their names as logos, Eggman demands Sonic to say his name as a logo too. Just as Sonic complies however, he realizes that they have already had this fight last issue and Tails recognizes it as the same mech, albeit poorly patched up. Eggman denies it and claims it has a secret weapon, but while Sonic is undeterred, Knuckles suddenly shows up and punches Sonic. In spite of this, Sonic is glad Knuckles has arrived and thinks he is here to help. Instead however, Knuckles traps Sonic in a small cage and proclaims he is working with Eggman. Tails is angry over the betrayal and attacks Knuckles, but lets his guard down and is trapped as well in a net. Meanwhile, Sticks gets ahead of Knuckles and traps herself in her own cage.
