Synopsis
Sonic is back from his recent struggle with Dr. Robotnik after his trip into space. Sonic meets up with Tails and tells him that his family is still alive. After some family time, Sonic and his friends attend Mina's latest concert announcing that King and Queen Acorn are going away with Antoine to counter Robotnik's forces. Mina reveals her boyfriend Ash, to Sonic and King Acorn says that Sally will be in charge of the kingdom. Sally makes an announcement to Sonic to rule by her side and stop fighting against Robotnik.
