At morning in Castle Acorn, King Maximillian is scolding Sally and Sonic for going on a mission to New Megaopolis without his consent. Sonic tries to cover for Sally saying it was his idea, in which the king bluntly disbelieves. King Acorn admonishes Sally that she cannot be trusted to control an entire city while him and Queen Alicia are away if she takes such risks. Sally indignantly apologizes. |

At nighttime, the ship is approaching Angel Island. Knuckles asks if Charmy is still feeling up to going on the mission with them. Charmy remarks that is he can get revenge on Eggman, he definitely will. Bunnie asks why she can't come along as well. Sonic arrogantly explains that they need some strength to protect Knothole while he's away. The group floats down with Sonic and Knuckles using parachutes landing in the Marble Garden Zone. The rest keep watch while Sonic and Knuckles bury their parachutes. Knuckles tells sonic to gather information, but before Knuckles can even finish his sentence, Sonic spots something devastating: a dingo concentration camp. Sonic leads them in a quick charge of the perimeter. Knuckles is being lynched by three dingo guards and Sonic tackles them. The group succeeds in defeating the group of Dingos. Knuckles suddenly finds a large group of Echidnas extolling him calling him Avatar. Knuckles is shocked by the crowd and sees Remington humbled with torn clothes calling him Avatar as well. Knuckles asks why he is being called that. Remington recalls how he was disbelieving when Knuckles came back from the afterlife, so he went to the Sky Sanctuary Zone verify, and say the Knuckles' coffin was empty. When Remington returned to Echidnaopolis, an invasion force took over Echidnaopolis when the Dingoes sold the Echidnas out for their own freedom. He was thrown into a dungeon for months and stated how he had faith that Knuckles would return. Julie-Su sadly retells of how the Prophecy of the Ancient Walkers states that a champion will bypass the afterlife and return hence to deliver the world from its suffering. With Knuckles already having lost most of his abilities, he doubts he is what they speak of. |
