| + | ====Synopsis==== |
||
| + | [[Sonic the Hedgehog (Pre-Super Genesis Wave)|Sonic the Hedgehog]] is facing his friends, [[Mina Mongoose]], [[Miles "Tails" Prower (Pre-Super Genesis Wave)|Miles "Tails" Prower]] and [[Mighty the Armadillo (Pre-Super Genesis Wave)|Mighty]], who are under the influence of [[Mammoth Mogul]]'s mind control. Sonic fends them off as best he can while Mogul points out his folly for not taking him seriously. [[Ash Mongoose|Ash]] then jumps on Mina, asking her what she is doing. Sonic rebounds off of Mighty to grab Tails and then tells Mogul there is no way that he would take him out with those three. Mogul, through Mighty, concurs this point with usual fighting, but states there are "other chinks in your armor." He then sends the three away from [[Freedom HQ]]. Sonic and Ash proceed to the source of all the trouble. |
||
| + | |||
| + | In the [[New Mobotropolis Detention Center]], Sonic confronts Mogul in his cell, brushing off all of Mogul's remarks and asks where his friends are. Mogul tells them that Tails is flying as high as he can go until he passes out from the lack of oxygen and will fall to the ground. Mina is running to the center of the ocean where she will stop and drown. Mighty is walking into [[New Megaopolis]] without a fight, only to be dispatched by the [[Dark Egg Legion]]. Ash asks Sonic if he can get them, but Mogul states they are too far apart and that there is little time to save them all. Ash then declares that Mogul has won and asks what he wants. Mogul demands the [[Chaos Emerald (Pre-Super Genesis Wave)|Chaos Emerald]] that he sensed while in the prison. Sonic states that Mogul will give them their friends back unharmed or no deal. Mogul accepts and welcomes Sonic to the new [[Fearsome Foursome]]. [[Nicole (Pre-Super Genesis Wave)|Nicole]] then appears and asks what Sonic and Ash are doing. Sonic asks where the Emerald is being kept. Nicole says it's in [[Castle Acorn (Pre-Super Genesis Wave)|Castle Acron]], to which Sonic and Ash leave, much to the confusion of Nicole |
||
| + | |||
| + | As the duo head for the castle, Nicole attempts to stop them, but they succeed in getting the Emerald. Both of them quickly race to Mogul, despite Nicole's pleas. Mogul regains the power he desired and immediately breaks out of his cell and sends Tails, Mina, and Mighty back to safety. Mogul teleports Nicole away, saying "You are not needed, dear". Sonic asks Mogul what will happen next but Mogul states he is disbanding the new Fearsome Foursome, much to Sonic's confusion. Mogul then explains he is not going to attack Sonic as he believes something or someone will step in to save him as it has always happened in the past. Weary of this "cosmic punch-line," he instead decides to wait it out even if it takes centuries, all the while never letting Sonic or his descendants rest easily. He then releases the other prisoners and teleports away with them in tow. |
||
| + | |||
| + | Mighty, Tails and Mina are waiting for Sonic and Ash back at [[Freedom HQ]]. Ash comforts Mina while Sonic talks to Mighty and Tails. Both admit to feeling guilty while Tails adds that he is cold and Mighty says now he really knows how [[Knuckles the Echidna (Pre-Super Genesis Wave)|Knuckles]] feels. Sonic tries to cheer them up, saying that it's the bad guys that are running scared instead of them. |

Knuckles appears in front of [[General Helmut Von Stryker]] and before he can say anything, Stryker informs him that he has taken back control of his people, made good use of the oasis to toughen them up, and that it is only a matter of time before they return to the interior of the [[Angel Island (Pre-Super Genesis Wave)|island]]. Knuckles says they will be welcomed back, saying it is the least he can do since he ruined their lives in the first place. Before the General can question further, Knuckles explains that he was Enerjak and apologizes for what he did especially to the General's [[Kage Von Stryker|son]]. The General turns his back and while accepting his apology, disowns Kage, trying to hide his tears. Knuckles then leaves. |

[[Rouge the Bat (Pre-Super Genesis Wave)|Rouge]] appears, thinking that was the attitude Knuckles would take and asks if he will resume his heritage. Knuckles states things were manageable when he was there and blames himself for all that has occurred.

Knuckles asks how she could know about these things but Rouge simply counters that she is a spy and it's her business to know. Rouge attempts to cheer Knuckles up and adds that with the Warp Ring, he could keep an eye on both fronts more easily. Knuckles agrees and thanks Rouge for the talk.

Synopsis
Knuckles is gliding over Albion, reflecting all that he put the Echidna people through as Enerjak. He notes that if there was anything good out of this, it was that Remington got his life back but it didn't make up for all that he did. He cannot even face his mother and her family. He then leaves, via Warp Ring, and hopes that his people can live safely without him. Kneecaps sees his brother before he leaves and points him out to his mother but she does not get a good glimpse.
At an oasis in Sandopolis, the Dingoes have made a camp. Knuckles appears in front of General Helmut Von Stryker and before he can say anything, Stryker informs him that he has taken back control of his people, made good use of the oasis to toughen them up, and that it is only a matter of time before they return to the interior of the island. Knuckles says they will be welcomed back, saying it is the least he can do since he ruined their lives in the first place. Before the General can question further, Knuckles explains that he was Enerjak and apologizes for what he did especially to the General's son. The General turns his back and while accepting his apology, disowns Kage, trying to hide his tears. Knuckles then leaves.
On Shrine Isle, the CHaotix are building a bridge to connect the Master Emerald to Angel Island. Ray tells Julie-Su that he lost Knuckles when he used the Warp Ring. Julie says Ray that he did his best while Knuckles, from the shadows of the nearby jungle, notes the bridge is almost finished and hopes that they will leave for New Mobotropolis soon. Rouge appears, thinking that was the attitude Knuckles would take and asks if he will resume his heritage. Knuckles states things were manageable when he was there and blames himself for all that has occurred. Rouge tells Knuckles that he did not know that and Dr. Finitevus' plans would have probably happened anyway. Knuckles then screams at her in rage, stating that the Brotherhood's ways worked before and they can work again. Rouge then points out that all the Guardians are gone now and that their planning did not stop Robotnik, so returning to their ways would be a failure. Knuckles asks how she could know about these things but Rouge simply counters that she is a spy and it's her business to know. Rouge attempts to cheer Knuckles up and adds that with the Warp Ring, he could keep an eye on both fronts more easily. Knuckles agrees and thanks Rouge for the talk. The Chaotix then notice Knuckles and welcome him back, not knowing Rouge is still in the bushes watching, with a hidden motive...
