| − | On their arrival on top of a skyscraper, Sonic heads for Eggman's factory, to stop the construction of his body, while Bunnie goes to find Rouge. Sonic runs avoiding missiles sent by the defence system, and loses them in the subway system. Sonic finds Eggman's new body and distracting Sonic hits him with his arm. Sonic quickly dodges the fast arm, and Eggman loses his movement in his arm because of exhaustion. Sonic gets out dynamite from his bag and puts it in his mouth. Minutes later, Eggman's new body explodes. |

The President sent Rouge the Bat to stop him, but they soon lost contact with her. He asks Sonic and Bunnie to find Rouge and stop Dr. Eggman. Sonic asks why they weren't his first choice and the President starts grovelling, begging them to forgive him for being so inconsiderate. Sonic tells him he was just joking and asks him to calm down. |

| + | ====Part Three==== |
||
| + | Sonic quickly finds himself being chased by heat-seaking missiles and realizes Eggman must be nearby. He ducks into the subway system and hops back out. The missiles explode, unable to maneuver through the tight corners of the subway entrance. Sonic spots Eggman's base and races towards it. |

| + | ====Part Four==== |
||
| + | As Sonic enters the factory, he's greeted by Eggman's new robotic body. Eggman talks to Sonic, hitting him with a robotic arm from behind while he's distracted. Sonic is slammed into a nearby wall, but he quickly recovers and runs circles around the robot arm. Getting bored with their fight, Sonic lights a stick of dynamite, sticks it in Eggman's mouth, and runs out of the building. From a safe distance, Sonic watches the factory explode. |

Suddenly, the laser bars imprisoning her fizzle and die (possibly thanks to Bunnie) and she grows suspicious, believing danger to be afoot.
