[[Orbot (Pre-Super Genesis Wave)|Orbot]] says that he thought the immunity was taken care of by the Cosmic Reset Button.

[[Cubot (Pre-Super Genesis Wave)|Cubot]] says, "Yeah...but ain't the roboticizer busted?", and Orbot replies, "Indeed. And in addition to that, we're dangerously low on fuel and supplies after our recent outings." (referring to the Sonic Universe Eggman Arc.) Orbot then asks Eggman, "Why are we making this detour on our way to the Shamazon Base?" Eggman replies that he will repair the roboticizer, and that his prisoners can rot in the prison eggs until then. He also says that Furville survived his first attack, and that he "won't stand for such an insult". He says that he needs an example of his power to crush any hope, and it's on of the biggest settlements on the continent, now that the [[Knothole Freedom Fighters|Freedom Fighters]] are over. |

They manage to bring Sonic's spirit back, who then realizes that not all hope is lost and with Tails and Amy by his side, they cannot lose, but it is [[Rotor Walrus|Rotor]], hiding in the shadows, who really makes it work.

Rotor has held auditions for the members of Team Freedom and selected the only three that applies—Big the Cat, Cream the Rabbit and Cheese the Chao. He has also brought back Heavy and Bomb, two former Chaotix members. In the crowd watching the announcement, Roise discusses with Vannila, about the young rabbit's volunteering to the new team after her previous adventure. Vanilla responds that while she prefers to keep her daughter safe, Cream can never ignore an opportunity to help.
