Snively is horrified, explaining that since Robo-Robotnik roboticized himself he could easily have downloaded his memories into a new robot body and likely has a file on the village's location. |

Chapter One
A group of Shadowbots gather around the Freedom Fighters' shuttle, which has landed on the outskirts of Robotropolis, and are surprised to find that Sonic the Hedgehog and his friends have fled. They begin searching for their master's enemies, unaware that their prey are hiding behind the nearby rocks. Sally is surprised that the city seems deserted, but NICOLE suggests that the citizens likely fled to Knothole for safety. Snively is horrified, explaining that since Robo-Robotnik roboticized himself he could easily have downloaded his memories into a new robot body and likely has a file on the village's location.

Sonic cuts him off, pointing out that he probably knows how they can get to the file since he's the old Robotnik's nephew and henchman.

The group splits up: Sonic heads out to divert the Shadowbots' attention, Sally and Snively head into Robotropolis to locate the file on Knothole, and Bunnie, Antoine, and Tails escort Jules and Bernie back to Knothole Village.
Meanwhile, in Knothole, the Mobians are at a loss on how to deal with the overcrowding of the village when King Acorn arrives. He gives a speech, explaining that those in need will be given lodgings first and foremost and honoring those lost in conflict with Robotnik. Elias realizes his father is talking about Sally and the Freedom Fighters and asks Nate Morgan how he remains so calm. Nate tells Elias that Max is an experienced monarch and blames himself for allowing Sonic and the others to go after Robotnik.

Jules, Bernie, Antoine, Tails and Bunnie lay low in the outskirts of Robotropolis as Shadowbots patrol the area. Jules decides that they'll need to change their path, but Tails refuses to leave Jeremiah and the library at the mercy of Robotnik. Bernie agrees, explaining that preserving their history is vital, and Jules sarcastically apologizes for trying to be practical.
They arrive at the library and Tails begs Jeremiah to leave with them, but he refuses to abandon Kirby's books. Jules is a bit excited, having read Kirby's stories as a child, and at Bernie's suggestion reads a passage of a book chronicling the events of the Great War.
Several years in the past, Colin Kintobor lead a band of Overlanders in bombarding Mobotropolis.
