Sonic is taken away by the Royal Guards and arrested by Antoine, Sally not being able to help Sonic wanting to be loyal to her husband.
Elias Acorn returns to free Sonic from his prison, Elias believes that Antoine married Sally in order to elevate himself to the throne and Sonic doesn't believe that Antoine could pull something off. Finding King Acorn with Antoine, Elias stops Antoine from killing him, but they don't notice his needle. Antoine plans to kill Elias before the King, and shows Elias and Sonic to the Queen and Sally. Sally and Alicia Acorn ready to begin the coronation are stopped by Elias who claims the right to the throne, seeing he is the first-born to stop Antoine. Sally happy that Elias is king, Antoine ready to congratulate Elias with a handshake is stopped by Sonic. Sonic notices the needle in his hand that he was about to kill Elias.

Synopsis[]
Dulcy watching the robot dragons roboticizing the other dragons, Dulcy rescues a young dragon named Sparky. The elder dragon noticing Dulcy thinking she led the invasion orders her to be chained up. Dulcy begging that she can help out is knocked by a dead robot dragon. The robot dragon knocked out her gold ring and her fire breath has returned with her being released. Dulcy turns around the battle and the other dragons successfully melt the dragons in lava. Dulcy upset that the dragons were once alive is told by the elder dragon that the dragon's spirit is eternal and someday the dragon's will return.

Trivia[]
- Like in the previous issue, SWATbots are shown armed with built-in roboticizing lasers, despite other issues establishing Roboticizers as large devices requiring victims to be placed inside of them to function.
- Additionally, the SWATbots roboticizing the dragons goes against the events of Sonic the Hedgehog #123's third story, "The Last Robian" (which this story takes place after, as Bunnie is seen in her post-Xorda attire at the beginning of this story's prelude in issue #155), where the Bem de-roboticized all the inhabitants of Mobius, in addition to supposedly preventing all future roboticizations.
- This marks the final story by Art Mawhinney.
