A Sudden Shift
Synopsis
On Angel Island, Knuckles is surprised to see a Restoration shuttle approaching, and gets an even bigger shock as Sonic jumps off the shuttle and onto the altar of the Master Emerald. Sonic's Metal Virus infection has progressed so far that one of his eyes has turned red and robotic, making him look like Metal Sonic. Sonic greets Knuckles and apologizes for dropping in so close, having wanted to avoid spreading his infection to the grass. Knuckles is confused, but Sonic immediately leaves to run off his infection, mentioning that Tails and Amy will explain more. Knuckles yells back that they had better explain, but as he sees the exhausted looks on their faces as they approach, he knows he is not going to like the answers that he will get.
Meanwhile, aboard the Faceship, Dr. Eggman watches in shock as Dr. Starline presents him with the Deadly Six. Eggman furiously accuses Starline of betraying him, to which the platypus retorts that he merely brought the Deadly Six to solve the problem Eggman could not: controlling the Zombot hordes. Eggman says he will deal with Starline later and sics Metal Sonic on the Zeti.
