Sonic and Tails sneak in through the window late at night. Unfortunately for them, they wake up Bernadette and Jules Hedgehog.

Next morning, the mobians cheer for King Maximillian Acorn, Queen Alicia Acorn Sally and Elias while chanting "All hail the House of Acorn". Sally in her thoughts is happy to have her family and a peaceful kingdom but is disappointed with her losing contact with her friends.Geoffrey St. John and the Royal Secret Service arrive with bad news to report to Sally and Elias. At Sonic's house, Bernie and Jules discuss about Sonic being captured by overlanders to battle a creature named "Shadow", and Tails whisked away by Athair to try to aid Knuckles. Mina arrives at the hedgehog home hoping to see Sonic, in which Bernie and Jules wake up Sonic to tell him.
At Castle Acorn, Nate Morgan reports Sir Charles Hedgehog's full message to Elias. Geoffrey tells Elias that they failed to retrieve the Sword of Acorns and they found overlanders in Robotropolis. Nate Morgan tells Elias that Uma Arachnis stole the sword from Dr. Eggman. Sally saying that Kodos is Arachnis' ally, so he may know where she is. Geoffrey and the Secret Service leave to interrogate Kodos. Elias looks at his mum and dad thinking that the role for ruling the Kingdom belongs to Sally. Sally slips out of the castle and asks some ladies in the Castle to help disguise herself like them.
Sonic and Tails attempt to teach Mina about her speed. Sonic asking if that is as fast as she can go, Mina goes too much and crashes into a tree. Sonic sends Tails back home as he attends to Mina. Mina blames Sonic that its all his fault. She thought that they had so much in common, roboticized parents, speed but she is upset that he is better with speed. Sonic apologizes that he was only teasing and that its all part of being a Freedom Fighter. Mina overexcited that Sonic said she has what it takes to be a Freedom Fighter kisses Sonic, as Sally and the ladies are approaching. Sally, extremely disappointed, walks away.
At Castle Acorn, Kodos escapes from the castle and knocks out Geoffrey and the Secret Service. Sally takes off her mouth piece while still wearing the costume and asks Dr. Quack to help the agents. Quack tells them that he's gone insane from the toxins in Robotropolis and that without medical treatment, he would've died. Nate Morgan shocked at this while Overlanders were in Robotropolis. Sally tells Rotor and Tails that she's going after Kodos, but Rotor thinks that they should get Sonic "like old times." Sally believes its too late and they set off.
Sally, Rotor and Tails split off to search as Sally continues to think about Sonic and Mina. Sally finds a weakened Arachnis on the floor, as Arachnis has something to tell her. As she is telling Sally useful information, Kodos has captured Tails and Rotor from behind. Nate Morgan reports to Sonic that Kodos has escaped and Sally, Rotor and Tails have gone after him. As Sonic runs off leaving Nate and Mina, he wonders why Sally didn't get him.
At Knothole Prison, Antoine looks at the High Sherif upset about him still under Dr. Eggman's control. Bunnie attempts to comfort him, but Sonic arrives that he needs their help. Revealing that he knows a way to restore the sheriff's free will, Sonic leads them into the forest to search for Kodos.

Synopsis[]
On board the Dark Legion's Battle Cruiser, Dimitri is angrily barking orders at his men as the ship experiences turbulence. The troops inform their leader that they were hit by a massive shock wave that they could not detect. They find that the shock must have come from the Floating Island, which is directly behind them. Finding a transmission of Chaos Knuckles fighting Turbo Tails and then suddenly vanishing, Dimitri decides that they need to head for the Floating Island post-hate.
Knuckles arrives at the Dark Legion Complex base on the Floating Island, having teleported there after hearing Julie-Su's voice. He wanders inside to find her being captured by the Dark Legion... and himself coming to rescue her. Knuckles starts to intervene when the ghost of his ancestor, Hawking, appears to stop him. Hawking explains that Knuckles can now teleport through time and space, and takes Knuckles to his dead body in Haven as an example. He then tells Knuckles that both of them are actually "evolving", despite his physical body being dead.
Hawking vanishes mysteriously while Knuckles ponders why he is not in constant pain and agony anymore. The Dark Legion approaches the island, their sensors detecting massive amounts of energy radiating from Haven. Knuckles' energy wave disappears suddenly. Dimitri tells Lien-Da to fetch Julie-Su when the energy reading suddenly disappears. Knuckles appears in the ship behind them, demanding answers.
