With Rouge being suspected of returning to her ways of thievery, a false Chaos Emerald was announced as having been found in Alaska and would be put on display a the Smithsonian Institute in order to catch her. When night time fell, Captain Westwood, Knuckles the Echidna, Sonic the Hedgehog, and Topaz arrived at the institute to see if Rouge would make a move.

When Rouge showed up, Knuckles confronted her and demanded she return the Master Emerald she'd stolen, but she denied ever doing so, causing the two two fight and eventually fall down on Sonic. Westwood then roped the three aliens, but Rouge used her G.U.N. Lipstick Laser to get them out, after which Knuckles went right back to attacking her, smashing her into the building, causing them to finally come face to face with the Rogue Rouge.

With the truth revealed, the three started to fight the Rogue Rouge until Doctor Eggman arrived in order to steal the "Chaos Emerald". While Sonic and Knuckles destroyed Eggman's robot and retrieved the Moon Emerald and Master Emerald, Rouge destroyed her robot double.
