| − | As they walked, he confronted her about lying and her disappearances. She became indignant at first, but then faltered when Sonic pointed out that she had suddenly taken an interest in him ''after'' Scourge's impersonation of him. Scourge then showed up, telling Sonic he had caught on to the charade. Fiona then admitted that when she knew about the switch, she had tried to find the same attraction in the real Sonic and thus began to date him. Unfortunately, she found him too much into the "hero thing." Scourge then taunts Sonic, bringing up his failed love lives, one after the other, finishing by mocking Amy. |
||
| ⚫ | Outside [[Freedom HQ]], [[Amy Rose (Pre-Super Genesis Wave)|Amy]] runs and lunges at [[Fiona Fox]] with her [[Piko Piko Hammer (Pre-Super Genesis Wave)|hammer]], with Fiona asking what was going on. Amy then reveals the reason why she was upset: she was looking for [[Sonic the Hedgehog (Pre-Super Genesis Wave)|Sonic]] and thought he was with Fiona. She then asked [[Miles "Tails" Prower (Pre-Super Genesis Wave)|Tails]] if Sonic was with Fiona and he told her about Fiona's dark secret: she had been cheating on Sonic with [[Scourge the Hedgehog]]. While dodging blows, Fiona admits that she and Sonic were not in a serious relationship, though she briefly slips in a smug grin before jumping and landing on top of Amy's hammer and telling her Sonic would not believe her anyway. To the surprise of both, Sonic (who had been watching the scuffle) casually butted in and told Fiona that he wanted to talk. |
||
| + | As they walked, Sonic confronts Fiona about disappearing lately, saying she might be up to her old ways. Fiona then reminds Sonic of all the times she has helped the Freedom Fighters lately. Sonic tells her he knows she has helped them out, but he also knows Fiona wasn't interested in him until after Scourge impersonated Sonic. Sonic pushes Fiona to clear things up. Fiona says she tried to be a hero and maybe she could find a "middle ground". Scourge then intervenes and confirms Fiona was interested in him first. Fiona explains when she found out Scourge wasn't the real Sonic, she tried to find the same attraction in the real Sonic, but he wasn't as fun as Scourge and too much of a hero. Scourge then teases Sonic on his failed love-life and how he always tries to be morally straight. All of this makes Sonic furious. |

| − | ===Story Two=== |
||
| ⚫ | Tails, after watching the events from afar, suddenly intervenes, begging Fiona not to date Scourge and trying to appeal to her good nature. She gently tells him that despite his intellect, he didn't realize one thing - "you can't count on anybody." before slapping him across the face, which Scourge laughs at. Sonic immediately runs to Tails, who tells Sonic to "just get em'." Fiona then cites Sonic of his abandonment of her back in the mining camp. An enraged Sonic protests and charges at Fiona, but is suddenly attacked by Scourge, who despite admitting his past relationships, likes Fiona because she chooses to be with him and evil. Sonic attacks him with a spin attack, but Scourge ducks away, causing Sonic to end up under a broken tree. He then confronts his counterpart, saying that the two are no different and that all it would take for Sonic to become evil was "one bad day". Sonic then trips Scourge, countering that Scourge would be just like him if he showed selflessness and "a little bit of decency". Scourge was rendered speechless by this, but Fiona kicked Sonic away before they could say anything else. |

Outnumbered, Fiona and Scourge then leave the scene via [[Warp Ring (Pre-Super Genesis Wave)|Warp Ring]]. Tails feels dismayed by Fiona's departure but admits that he could always count on Sonic and the others to do what's right. However, he suddenly runs off, saying he needed to see his [[Rosemary Prower|mother]] before showing signs of sorrow. [[Antoine D'Coolette (Pre-Super Genesis Wave)|Antoine]] then appears, asking what is wrong with Tails and Sonic explains Fiona's betrayal to him. Antoine then says he too has something important to take care of and walks away, with Sonic and Amy wondering what he means... |

Julie-Su then asks Amy why she wants the training. Amy tells her that she wants to be the best Freedom Fighter to make Sonic notice her and become his equal, like [[Knuckles]] with Julie-Su. Julie-Su then goes on to tell Amy that she doesn't need to change herself for Sonic, but Amy takes this differently and tells her that when she's the best Freedom Fighter, Sonic will be good enough for her.
