====Synopsis====
Meanwhile, at [[New Megaopolis]], [[Doctor Eggman (Archie)|Doctor Eggman]] is telling his "son", [[A.D.A.M.]], that his mysterious foe, "Anonymous" is finally going down. A.D.A.M. then asks his father why he is deleting him, only for Eggman to tell him he finally figured it all out in the beginning, detailing each event of "Anonymous'" doing, and angrily replies that he watched A.D.A.M. steal Mogul's [[Chaos Emerald]] and releasing both him and [[Ixis Naugus]], finally leading him to know A.D.A.M. was "Anonymous" the whole time. However, as Eggman was mourning the demise of his "children," he is shocked to hear A.D.A.M.'s voice emanating from a shadowy figure standing in a nearby corner, but before he could react, a metal tentacle grabbed him and the figure stepped out to reveal a nanite-covered Tommy Turtle under A.D.A.M.'s control.

Back at Freedom HQ, [[Nicole (Pre-Super Genesis Wave)|NICOLE]] states her systems were infected by the nanites as she tried to purge them. Just then, [[Bunnie Rabbot-D'Coolette|Bunnie Rabbot]] staggered into the room and immediately punched NICOLE's screen using her robotic arm, which was out of her control. She then threw Tails outside and scattered the others while yelling for someone to stop her. [[Knuckles the Echidna (Archie)|Knuckles the Echidna]] and [[Vector the Crocodile (Archie)|Vector the Crocodile]] then appeared and tackled her down while Rotor disabled her infected robotic limbs. However, as Sonic went outside to see if Tails was okay, he is shocked to see an unconscious Tails being carried by his [[Jules Hedgehog|his father]], who was also infected by the nanites. Sonic immediately raced after them while attempting to ask his father where he was taking them, only for his father to cryptically tell him he had been there before...

Meanwhile, at the Nanite City, [[Shadow the Hedgehog (Archie)|Shadow the Hedgehog]] confronts Dr. Eggman about the mission he was sent on, only for him to be attacked immediately by A.D.A.M. After a brief conflict, Shadow is knocked out and placed in a capsule next to a mysterious spire. Jules and the unconscious Tails soon arrive after and A.D.A.M. places Tails in a second capsule. A.D.A.M. then reveals that by using the nanite city and the combined powers of Super Shadow's enhanced Chaos Control and Turbo Tails' own mysterious abilities, he was going to acquire all the Chaos Emeralds in the universe. He also states that he knows that Sonic has just arrived in the city and that Eggman has summoned his Egg Fleet to their location, but he gloats that they will be too late to stop him.

The General responds by saying he is not a failure and has protected his friends and has served the kingdom by bravely fighting off Dr. Eggman. Armand then turns to Bunnie and says she fights with the same courage as his soon and he makes Antoine happy. He forgives Bunnie for falling for Sonic. After asking them both if they make each other happy, Armand tells them to cherish their love and not let it go.

Order From Chaos Part One: The Gathering

Synopsis

At Freedom HQ, Sonic the Hedgehog is trying to find Tommy Turtle, with Miles "Tails" Prower and Rotor Walrus, telling him hopefully Tommy was far away from the HQ, with Tails stating he has first dibs on Tommy because of his "help" with his project, while holding up a mangled device. Rotor said that Tommy washed the dirty petri dishes, which destroyed the nanite research he was working on. This worries Sonic, telling them Tommy's been acting strangely ever since naites fused with his shell, but then says that Tommy saved his life, stating he can't be all bad, to which Tails bitterly replies "No, not ALL bad".

Meanwhile, at New Megaopolis, Doctor Eggman is telling his "son", A.D.A.M., that his mysterious foe, "Anonymous" is finally going down. A.D.A.M. then asks his father why he is deleting him, only for Eggman to tell him he finally figured it all out in the beginning, detailing each event of "Anonymous'" doing, and angrily replies that he watched A.D.A.M. steal Mogul's Chaos Emerald and releasing both him and Ixis Naugus, finally leading him to know A.D.A.M. was "Anonymous" the whole time. However, while Eggman was mourning the demise of his "children," he is shocked to hear A.D.A.M.'s voice emanating from a shadowy figure standing in a nearby corner. Before he can react, a metal tentacle grabs him and the figure steps out of the darkness to reveal a nanite-covered Tommy Turtle under A.D.A.M.'s control.

Back at Freedom HQ, Nicole starts to go haywire. She states her systems are infected by nanites as she attempts to purge them. Just then, Bunnie Rabbot staggers into the room and immediately punches Nicole's screen using her robotic arm, which was out of her control. She then throws Tails outside and scattered the others while yelling for someone to stop her. Knuckles the Echidna and Vector the Crocodile come to her aid and tackle her down. Rotor disables her infected robotic limbs as she wonders how they got infected. As Sonic goes outside to see if Tails was okay, he is shocked to see an unconscious Tails being carried by his his father, who was also infected by the nanites. Sonic immediately races after them while attempting to ask his father where he was taking them, only for his father to cryptically tell him he had been there before...

Meanwhile, at the Nanite City, Shadow the Hedgehog confronts Dr. Eggman about the mission he was sent on, only for him to be attacked immediately by A.D.A.M. After a brief conflict, Shadow is knocked out and placed in a capsule next to a mysterious spire. Jules and an unconscious Tails soon arrive after and A.D.A.M. places Tails in a second capsule. A.D.A.M. then reveals that by using the nanite city and the combined powers of Super Shadow's enhanced Chaos Control and The Chosen One/Tails, prophesy of the great harmony, he is going to acquire all the Chaos Emeralds in the universe. As Eggman and Jules doubt his plan, A.D.A.M. states he knows that Sonic has just arrived in the city and Eggman has summoned his Egg Fleet to their location, but he gloats that they will be too late to stop him.
