== The full story ==
=== The Prophecy ===
The story begins on June 23, 3219 in Mobodoon, in the kingdom of Erinacenia. The young royal couple, Jules and Aleena, have just got triplets. The first child, a son, was named Olgilvie Maurice Sonic, the second, a daughter, was named Julia Aleena Sonia, and the third and youngest son was named Charles Bernard Manic.
That very evening, Oracle of Delphius, a very reliable prophet, knocked on the door of the palace. The royal couple kindly offered him to enter, thinking he was a beggar looking for lodging. Oracle, of course, did not decline the offer. They also invited him to the dining room, where he sat at the longest, that is, royal, table. After dinner, the royal couple sat down next to him. That’s when he revealed to them who he was. He thanked them for their hospitality, as he found out if they were worthy to hear the prophesy. He then pulled a crystal ball out of his bag and placed it in the center of the table.
“Dear King, Dear Queen,” he began. "I see that you are loving people, and that you care about justice, so you deserve to hear what awaits you." Oracle leaned over the ball so that everything he said was displayed on it. "In three years there will be a severe catastrophe. Many inhabitants will die, even more will be enslaved. Ivo Julian Robotnik will arrive in the kingdom in a flying vehicle." At that moment, the king interrupted the prophet: "Ivo Robotnik? Isn't he an overlander from the kingdom of Acorn? As I heard, he is a real benefactor." "Indeed," the prophet continued. "I'm telling you, a strong tendency can change a person quickly!"
"Go on. What else do you know, prophet?" Aleena asked. "So Dr. Robotnik will be here in three years. There is no doubt about it. The only thing that saves you is to set up a portal here in Mobodoon leading to Mobotropolis, the capital of the Kingdom of Acorn. It must be arranged in such a way that will close the portal after a certain time. When Robotnik arrives, you and the children will escape through it ... "but then the prophet stopped. He sighed deeply and continued: "Then the hardest ordeal awaits you. You will each place your children in one basket. You will then add a card with the child's name and letter to each basket. Do not mention in the letter that the children are of royal blood, as they will be in danger. When this is done, the two of you at Mobotropolis will leave the baskets at the door of the random homes. When the children turn 12, I will look for them and reveal their past to them. You two will have to hide or live under a different identity for these 12 years. Don't worry, you'll be reunited with them. Together you will rule Erinacenia for many years to come! "
Then Oracle disappeared.
King Jules stood up and walked around the room, thinking. "If this is a joke," "Jules!" exclaimed Aleena. "Aleena, listen. Our children have been born, Erinacenia is flourishing in justice. How could something like this happen? To us who have a strong army?" "Jules, please think. Oracle is a famous prophet. He is protective of honest people. You will have to come to terms with prophecy-" "Prophecy? You call it prophecy? Mobius is a very advanced planet. Anyone who has too much time would make a sphere showing different things. " "Jules-" "This is how it will be, Aleena. From now on, I will order the army every day to further protect the coast and our palace. But if none of what Oracle announced happens in three years, he will regret that he ever came here."
Two years later, a small bag appeared in front of the royal palace. The note next to it read, "Next year. Every child has one of these." There were three medallions in the bag with an adjustable drawstring.
=== The Deadly fate ===
In June 3222, a fleet arrived at the royal port. It could be seen from afar that this was the fleet of the Kingdom of Acorn. The door opened. Dr. Ivo Robotnik stepped on deck in a particularly fine uniform. "Dear Erinacenians," he began in a polished voice. "I'm happy to let you know that this land belongs ..." but then, like the expression on Robotnik's face, the tone of his voice changed. "... to me, Dr. Ivo Julian Robotnik! This island is the beginning of my own empire!" The emblems of the royal ship were suddenly replaced by the stylized faces of the doctor. At that moment, robots of different sizes rushed from all corners. It did not take long for the whole royal army to gather in the harbor.
The birthday of all three royal children was celebrated in the royal palace at that time. There was a sudden knock on the door. This was the king's lieutenant. "King! Queen! I need you right now!" The royal couple rushed into the royal hall. "Dr. Robotnik is here!"
Jules looked at Aleena. "So it's true ..." he said quietly. He turned to the lieutenant. "Make sure people are safe. All military forces, air, land and sea, must fight Robotnik." "All right, King."
"Aleena," he then told his wife. "Prepare everything we need."
As each of the children was placed in their basket, Aleena ran out of the palace. She hurried to Cabella Whinnyham, her faithful friend. "Cab," Aleena began, panting. "I don't know how the whole thing will turn out. I'm handing you the key to the city and everything in it. Expect the arrival of my children in 12 years!" Before Whinnyham could say anything, Aleena had hurried back to the palace. "Let's go," Jules said, raising two baskets. "The portal will open soon."
And really. When they reached the outskirts of the city, where Robotnik's army had not yet gone, the city of Mobotropolis appeared in front of them, which was very similar to Mobodoon. In Mobotropolis, they hurried as far away from the portal as possible so that Robotnik would not notice them. Along the way, they handed out baskets at different doors, which was very difficult for both of them. "To the king," Jules said. He took Aleena's hand, and at that moment they heard something heavy moving behind him. They looked back: three Robotnik badniks managed to get through the portal. Without hesitation, they hurried on, through various unknown streets, they hurried as safely as possible. That evening they managed to sleep in an abandoned apartment in some dead end.
Early the next morning, they heard a buzzing in the air. He was a Robot, but this time he outfitted his fleet back with royal symbols. They looked carefully out the window overlooking the main square.
"Welcome back, Robotnik," King Maximilian greeted the doctor. "How was the military intervention?" "Oh, very sad, Your Majesty. An unknown enemy has completely destroyed the kingdom of Erinacenia. There was nothing I could do. I'm sorry."
King Maximilian gave him an approving sympathetic look. "It is true that Mobius is flourishing in justice. Unfortunately, there are still very unexplored areas where unknown forms of life live for us," the king said. "For this, though unsuccessful, yet heroic act, I am now awarding you, Dr. Ivo Julian Robotnik, the Medal of Heroism of the Kingdom of Acorn." The king reached for the prepared box and took a glittering medal from it. As he pinned the doctor to the right side of his white coat, Robotnik looked somewhat uncertain. But as the king stepped away, a smile spread across his face. He turned to the king and said, "I promise to be faithful to the kingdom and its people forever!" People shouted and praised Robot, while Jules and Aleena watched it all from a small window. “I already know how it will be,” Jules said. "I'm going to my brother Charles. He works in this town. He'll help us, Aleena."
When they had prepared all the necessities, they slowly made their way to the royal palace, or more specifically, to Charles's laboratory. After a long wandering, they came to the walls of the palace. Just as they were about to knock, a large robot appeared in front of them. "For the safety of the royal family, entry prohibited." "What? Who told you that," Jules said. "Dr. Robotnik's new security law. Away, otherwise there will be consequences." The robot easily picked up Jules and Aleena, and carried them to the entrance of the city. "If this happens again," the robot snapped, "I won't be so lenient."
“What are we going to do now?” Jules asked. "Well, Ivo Robotnik has obviously become the supervisor of the security system. He probably did it on purpose so that no one could tell the king what really happened in Mobodoon. We only one thing we can do. We have to get to the Oracle of Delphius."
=== Getting used to the world ===
While the parents were looking for Oracle, their children began to get used to the new faces. The older son was adopted by the Effugers, the daughter was adopted by the Woodsons, and the younger son was adopted by a thief named Farrell.
==== Sonia ====
The daughter, who used the name Sonia from her full name, was raised the best out of all three. Lady Windermere, who was like a second mother to her, began to teach her manners early on. Sonia especially loved riding a bike, which was also the reason she soon got her own motorcycle. In addition to the motorcycle, her great passion was music, which soon led her to learn the piano.
Around the age of nine, she met Bartleby MontClair, a wealthy aristocrat who could also be very arrogant. MontClair was so enchanted by Sonia's beauty that he betrothed her as a 10-year-old, unofficially. Sonia's relationship with Bartleby was good from the start, but over time, Bartleby became complacent. Sonia no longer felt so good about the relationship and asked Bartleby to end the “engagement”. Bartleby had nothing against it. Despite all this, Bartleby and Sonia still went on dates.
==== Sonic ====
The eldest son, who used the name Sonic from his full name, lived a quiet life with the Effugers. Coincidentally, Eric Effuger, Sonic's adoptive father, knew Sir Charles the Hedgehog, Sonic's biological uncle. Unaware that Sonic and Charles were related, Eric took Sonic on a visit to Charles several times. Charles, who knew about Sonic, found out from various documents that he was his brother's son. He was very happy with this news, but he could not explain where Jules was.
Sonic tried to play Eric's guitar several times. Since this often happened in broken strings, Eric bought him a real, small guitar, and he started teaching Sonic about music himself.
Sonic soon befriended Princess Sally Acorn, the daughter of King Maximillian Acorn, who was 1 year older than Sonic. He met her through the ties his uncle had with the royal family. Shortly afterwards, he met Rotor Walrus, Antoine Depardieu and Bunnie Rabbot. They became an inseparable quartet. They mostly played at the Royal Palace, with Rosie Woodchuck, who was Sally’s nanny.
==== Manic ====
The youngest son, who used the name Manic from his full name, spent his youth more disorderly than Sonic and Sonia. He was raised by Farrel, who was a thief and a pickpocket, and he himself hoped that Manic would be like that one day. Despite his poor upbringing, Manic learned that he was happy with what he had, but he was also very resourceful. In his spare time, he learned to play drums, which later came in handy.
=== The Fall of the kingdom ===
After two years of searching, Aleena and Jules finally reached Oracle.
“Come in,” he told them. "Oracle," Jules gasped. "Tell us what to do now?"
"Jules, you can only wait now. Your children are in good hands." "Where," Aleena then asked, "should we wait?" Oracle turned and said, "Where? Right where you two are now. Nothing bad will happen to you, and you will be able to observe the children every day. In addition to the future, I can see the present. In several places."
Those words reassured Jules and Aleena. They decided to do as Oracle told them.
At that time, however, something terrible happened in the kingdom of Acorn.
On the third anniversary of the Great War, Dr. Robotnik was invited to be decorated with the newly established Order of the Acorn.
"Of course you’ll be there, Julian. Everyone is anxious to meet the man responsible for winning the great war. You’re a hero," said king Maximillian. "Tonight I will announce the closing of the war ministry and then your appointment as minister of science. You will attend Julian, that is a royal order. And your plans for dismantling the military are approved as presented. Get started at once." "Of course, Sire. I am honored, Sire," Robotnik said humbly. Just after the king left, Robotnik told his nephew Snively, "Snively, ready the palace attack force."
About half an hour later, everything was ready. Swatbots surrounded the entire palace. Robotnik went straight to the throne room, where King Maximillian was sitting at the time: "Greetings, Sire." The king raised his head. "Julian?" Robotnik stepped before the royal throne and said, "Your Majesty, members of the royal court, welcome to Robotropolis, the capital of my kingdom." At that moment, swatbots burst through all the windows of the throne room. "Any final words for your subjects? Sire?" "You can’t win this, Julian." "That's doctor Robotnik to you."
"There’s no time to argue Sonic. You and your friends must get to Knothole. Now I’m going to scramble the program on the bots, then you take off. Run like the wind, boy! Hey bot, say cheese!" As soon as Charles swung at the robot, Sonic grabbed his friends, and together they hurried out of the palace to Knothole. "Snively, what was that?", Robotnik said when he saw a blue streak speeding by. "Something very blue, sir," Snively said in astonishment. Sir Charles was robotized that day, as were all those who dared to resist Robotnik.
=== Knothole Freedom Fighters ===
A secret resistance called the Freedom Fighters was founded at the Knothole that evening. Following the example, similar organizations soon began to be established around the world. The Royal Army, which had been disbanded since Robotnik took power, was considered the closest allies of the Freedom Fighters. The founding leader was Sherman Walrus, who was also a member of the military. Knothole served as the main headquarters and as a place to raise the children of the resistance. Over time, the resistance established a few bases in the city's underground, of which only a few remained intact from Robotnik.
Aristocrats and those who obeyed Robotnik's laws lived peacefully, while those who demanded more freedom were robotized. Out of false belief, many aristocrats supported Robotnik, believing that everything would get better under his rule.
=== Sonic gets to the South Island ===
Sonic disliked the perpetual sitting in Knothole, so in 3226 he fled Robotropolis. He wanted to see a world that was still very unexplored for him. He stayed on the Alexander Peninsula for a few months and then decided to visit South Island, an island that lay east of the said peninsula. He came to it by taking a strong run on the coast and then running across the sea between the peninsula and the island. When he finally reached the island, he was exhausted and happy, because he had never managed anything like this in his life. He settled in a village in Green Hills, where people soon accepted him. By leaving Knothole, he missed out on meeting Miles Prower, who was born that November.
=== Robotic-military war (3228) ===
Robotnik sensed that a rebellion was brewing somewhere. He sent his Swatbots to search the entire city and surrounding area. Amadeus Prower, the dismissed leader of the royal army, gathered all the members of the army who remained alive or did not support Robotnik at this news. He decided to carry out an ambush attack on the swatbots in the Wood Zone in the center of which Knothole was located. If the swatbots discovered Knothole, all the Freedom Fighters and their children would be in trouble. As Robotnik's Swatbots approached the forest, the entire army, led by Amadeus, jumped out of the ambush and attacked them. During the battle, Amadeus mysteriously disappeared, as did his wife. At the end of the battle, all the swatbots sent by Robotnik were destroyed. The soldiers searched for Amadeus for another three days, but without success.
=== Little Miles' little adventure ===
Little Miles Prower left Knothole during the battle. No one knew where he was going. He had a name card with him so that everyone who met read his name. Miles found himself in the Emerald Hill zone through various circumstances. He lived there with different people for quite some time. There he learned to walk and talk. Despite his young age, he was open to new knowledge, and his desire to learn was limited by the fact that he could not read. After observing the various artisans who lived there, he also tried to make different things himself. Because of that, and because of his two tails, the other kids teased him. Since Miles didn’t know who to trust, he didn’t know what animal he was. He decided to find his own family himself.
=== South Island Incident (3228) ===
After a major failure, Dr. Robotnik decided to expand his empire beyond the city for security reasons. The first thing he wanted to conquer was South Island, which then belonged to the Republic of Levitia. Sonic lived there in the Green Hills zone at the time.
Robotnik landed on the island in his Eggmobile. “The people of South Island,” he said. "You will witness the glorious event when this island becomes part of the great Robot Empire!" Sonic, who was in the crowd, exclaimed, "Dream about it, Robbuttnik. Even if the whole island surrendered to you, I, Sonic, will not submit to you!" Robotnik muttered to himself, "We'll see about that ..."
That very day, he placed his base, called Scrap Brain, on top of Meridiona Mountain, which he brought from Robotropolis. He set up his badniks all over the island, robots powered by captured non-anthropomorphic animals. The main reason Robotnik decided to seize this very island was to discover chaos emeralds, a source of powerful energy that can be used for good and evil.
In a few days, Sonic made his way through the many places where Robotnik was hiding to the doctor's main base. The last battle between Robotnik and Sonic took place there. Sonic defeated him so that Robotnik had to flee the island.
With the chaos emeralds that Sonic found in various places, Sonic was able to repair the damage Robotnik had caused to the beautiful nature of the island.
=== Little Planet Incident (3229) ===
Sonic remained on the island for some time after Robotnik's departure. He heard about the Little Planet at the time. This one is expected to appear every year over Never Lake, a lake on the Alexander Peninsula, for a month. Robotnik, who wanted to rule the whole of Mobius with the help of time travel, was supposed to go there. Upon this news, Sonic set off from the island to the Alexander Peninsula.
To his surprise however, he found Little Planet in its sad and chained state following Robotnik's takeover. Seeing the planet chained to the nearby mountain, he  travelled to Little Planet via the chain keeping it tied to Mobius. Ending up in Palmtree Panic, Sonic learned that he needed to destroy the robot teleporters in the past and secure the Time Stones before Robotnik. As he continued his adventure however, he met Amy Rose, a female hedgehog, who came to Little Planet after predicting a "destined" encounter with Sonic on the small planet. Upon seeing Sonic, Amy instantly fell in love with him and tried to hug him. Not reciprocating Amy's advances, Sonic continued with his adventure.
After encountering Robotnik and forcing him to retreat by defeating his EGG-HVC-001, Sonic continued onward to Collision Chaos, with Amy following him. Upon arriving there however, Amy was kidnapped by Robotnik's latest and greatest creation to date: Metal Sonic, a lethal robot built in Sonic's image. The robot proceeded to leave with Amy despite Sonic's attempts to save her. Now having to save both Little Planet and Amy, Sonic continued onward across Little Planet, overcoming and defeating Robotnik and his contraptions along the way.
Eventually, Sonic arrived in Stardust Speedway. There, he found Robotnik and Metal Sonic, who challenged him to a deadly race, with Robotnik keeping a laser active behind them as they raced forward. In the end though, Sonic defeated Metal Sonic, who got smashed after he crashed into a gate closing in front of him, which forced Robotnik to retreat. Afterward, Sonic freed Amy, who hugged him as thanks.
After saving Amy, Sonic travelled to Metallic Madness. Inside this stronghold, he eventually encountered Robotnik using the Egg Spinner in an attempt to defeat Sonic. However, the machine is destroyed, triggering a chain reaction that causes Little Planet's metallic shell to crumble which forced Sonic to escape from Little Planet with Amy. Landing near Never Lake, Sonic left Amy in a safe place and ran away, before noticing the shell covering Little Planet break apart.
=== Return to the Westside Island ===
After the Little Island incident, Sonic decided it would be time to return to Knothole. He missed his old friends.
When he finally arrived in the northeastern part of Westside Island, Snoic took some time to rest. When he got up, he bypassed the entire northeast coast. When he ran into the Emerald Hill Zone, none other than Miles Prower fell on him from a tree. When he explained to Sonic that he had been lost for a very long time, that he could fly and that he did not know which animal he was, Sonic smiled. "You're a fox," he said. "And foxes don't fly." After a short conversation and after Miles prooved to him that he can fly, Sonic allowed him to live with him. For Miles, who hated his name, however, he came up with the nickname Tails, which clung to Miles for the rest of his life.
Shortly afterwards, Dr. Robotnik began making the Death Egg, a large round spaceship. Since the chaos emeralds on South Island escaped Sonic, Robotnik decided to try to find the chaos emeralds on Westside Island. After the free part of the island, he disbanded his badniks, to which he installed a system for searching for chaos emeralds. Along the Wural Mountains he set up his own, made in Robotropolis, base, where he had a good view over much of the island. In 3200, he set up his first dungeon there, in which he imprisoned his rival Lucas Goodwill.
Since Snively was overworked at Robotropolis, Robotnik made himself a new assistant, a robot named Coconuts.
Until the end of 3229, with the exception of a few acts of Sonic the Hedgehog, he successfully intimidated the surrounding settlements.
In early 3230, however, everything changed. Already in January, Sonic attacked his base several times, so on January 12, 3230, Robotnik organized a Bounty Hunters Convention, at which he announced a prize of 1,000,000,000 Mobiums on Sonic's head. Sonic himself attended the convention. When he was spotted by bounty hunters, he started running around and started such confusion in the tent that he easily sneaked out. From that day on, the only thing left in Robotnik's mind was how to get rid of Sonic.
In his advanced machine, he made two robot assistants that made up Super Special Sonic Search & Smash Squad: Scratch, who was tall and resembling a chicken, and Grounder, who was a small robot on wheels and contained a huge variety of attachments and tools. Both of them were fairly stupid and couldn't keep Sonic locked.
In just over a year, Sonic traveled with Tails throughout the northern part of Westside Island, resolving various cases of Robotnik's attack.
In his spare time, Tails attended Professor Von Schlemmer's classes, where he learned everything: especially about technology, mathematics and physics, but also about grammar, science and history.
=== Return to Robotropolis ===
In June 3231, a few days after Sonic's birthday, Robotnik began thinking about returning to Robotropolis. He returned to Robotropolis on July 30. He threw Scratch and Grounder in the trash and saved their memory connectors.
Sonic and Tails followed Robotnik into town. That evening, Sonic returned to Knothole. The Freedom Fighters were scared at first because they weren’t expecting anyone. But when they noticed that Sonic was back, everyone was overjoyed. They all rushed into each other's arms. Sonic introduced Tails to them and told them that he had taught him a lot in two years and that they could accept him among themselves. Tails was quickly loved in Knothole. Above all, he got along well with Sally Acorn. Together, they invented a "funny kiss" that only they knew. Tails liked to listen to the heroic stories of Antoine Depardieu, which no one else liked to listen to because they were mostly untrue. Tails spent a lot of time with Rotor Walrus, who taught little Tails about a variety of technology.
=== The time has come ===
In the late spring of 3232, the time had finally come for the Erinacenian triplets to reunite. When Oracle told this news to Jules and Aleena, they were very happy thinking that they would see their children soon. Before Oracle went to each child individually, he instructed the royal couple, "And don't forget. To act too soon could seal their fate. You'll still have to hide. You, Aleena, will be secretly leaving them clues and all of that nature. When the time comes, you will reunite ... "" Will we finally defeat Robotnik then, prophet? "Jules asked. "Probably yes. But I don't think it's going to be necessary. Your kids and their friends are resisting Robotnik well. I wouldn't be surprised if they managed to achieve freedom on their own." Then he left.
He first went to the eldest, Sonic. He found him tired in the house of Charles Hedgehog. Instead of heading out for the other two, Oracle waited for them to meet that night at the nightclub where they played as a band for the first time. It was only after the performance that Manic and Sonia found out that they were Sonic's siblings.
In the early days, they trained to learn how to work together on Oracle's instructions. After training with Gandar, Oracle sent the hedgehogs to Tralacet, a place of meditation, where they finally prepared to work together.
When they returned, they began their missions. Sonic had a lot of work to do, as his siblings needed him just as much as they did in Knothole. Despite all the worries, Sonic carried out all the missions, both family and resistance, without any problems.
=== Taking care of the Death Egg ===
In June 3232, news arrived in Knothole that Robotnik would launch his doomsday vessel called the Death Egg. Sonic decided to go alone, but when Sally told him that he could not go on such a difficult mission alone, Sonic chose Tails as his companion. Together they went to the center of Mobotropolis. There, they first clashed face to face with Robotnik, who fled after the defeat and quickly boarded the Wing Fortress, his flying fortress. Sonic and Tails hurried out, to the Tornado. Tails sat at the helm, and Sonic simply stood on the wings of the plane.
They soon caught up to Robotnik, who also noticed them and sent them flying badniks from the fortress. Those he could not avoid, Sonic simply destroyed.
After a few minutes, they approached the landing pad for the planes, where they could not land with the Tornado, as Robotnik fired lasers at it at that moment, which took the plane to the ground. As soon as the plane started to descend, Sonic jumped on the platform by himself. Tails did not leave the vehicle, but saved it from a complete wreck with an excellent pilot maneuver and landed smoothly in the Emerald Hill Zone.
Sonic had to walk alone through the entire fort. In the end, he found himself in the cockpit where he was caught between lasers and fought Robotnik. Out of fear, Robotnik jumped into a small rocket, which brought him right to Death Egg. At the last moment, Sonic jumped on the rocket and so imperceptibly landed on the spaceship.
Robotnik was inside in an instant, and when he saw Sonic, he closed all the doors in the space station, except for one, which housed Mecha-Sonic, a robot made on a similar principle as Metal Sonic, with the exception of that Mecha was worse.
Despite the jerky movements and sharp spikes of the robot, Sonic eventually defeated him. Robotnik, watching all this behind closed doors, fled. He ran, as heard that Sonic had managed to open the door. Unable to endure anything else, the doctor jumped into the great Robot, which he made in his own image. This robot had such hot and pointed limbs that whoever touched it would be dead in an instant. Sonic deftly dodged the long jumps of the huge robot, and each time the robot landed, Sonic slammed into his stomach with all his might. When he repeated this about eleven more times, the robot finally collapsed to the ground, triggering a self-destructive system that Robotnik intended to turn on only as a last resort. With almost the entire room on fire, Sonic jumped off the spaceship in one leap, falling freely through the thin air. The emeralds he had collected during the missions in Knothole had slipped out of his hands and, like Sonic, were falling freely through the endless sky.
Tails, who repaired the Tornado during Sonic's battle on a spaceship, saw a large explosion of Death Egg in the air from the Emerald Hill zone. Knowing that Sonic would not survive this, he quickly boarded and flew the plane towards Death Egg. Hoping Sonic would land on the wing of the plane, he flew just below the wrecked vessel. Luckily for both of them, Sonic landed happily on the wing of the plane. Tails directed the Tornado towards Knothole, which was risky as Robotnik could see where Tails would land.
At Knothole, Sonic and Tails were all greeted with joy and happiness. They knew there was a difficult mission behind them. Tails in particular was praised by all for his piloting.
=== Angel Island Incident ===
In July 3232, after the news that Robotnik was doing something on Angel Island and in search of his mother, Sonic, together with Sonia, Manic and, despite Sally's disapproval, Tails, went to the mentioned place. Since there were two reasons for going to the island, Manic and Sonia landed on one part of the island in a band van, and Sonic and Tails landed on the other end in Sonic's plane Tornado.
Dr. Robotnik landed on the island after Sonic and Tails destroyed his Death Egg. The spaceship was still flying a bit, but of course it was also falling. The ship landed straight on Angel Island, which it pushed into the sea because of its weight. Knuckles the Echidna, one of the few inhabitants of the island, was with Robotnik at the moment when he got out of the dilapidated vehicle.
“What’s that supposed to mean?” Knuckles asked gruffly. "Well, so -..." Robotnik was looking for words. “Who are you and what are you doing here?” Knuckles growled impatiently. "So," the doctor began, "my name is Ivo Robotnik and I am, uh, an expert in technology and science. All I do is for peace on this planet." Knuckles folded arms and listened. "So, um, what you just saw was, well, an accident, if you understand. My spaceship, which I use for peacekeeping, was attacked by some thug named Sonic the Hedgehog." “Sonic what?” Knuckles looked surprised. "Sonic the Hedgehog. He attacked me with his stupid fox friend and smashed me out of the sky. With the rest of the energy the vessel still had, I tried to escape as far as possible. But at one point I ran out of fuel and fell, well, you know where. " That's when Robotnik remembered Master Emerald saying, "He's going to steal your Master Emerald! He's going to use it for evil purposes!" Knuckles thought. "Well, if that's what you're saying, then I'll take revenge on that Sonic with you." The doctor stood up and said, "So, just so you know, Sonic is very resourceful. It would help if you let me set a part of this island." “What do you say?” Exclaimed Knuckles. "Well, now it's up to you. If you don't care about your precious emerald, of course, I'll fix my spaceship and go ..." Knuckles was utterly confused. He guarded his island for many years. Finally, he agreed, "Uh, okay. Let it be. Oh, and, just so you know, when you have to take off again, do it on the other side of the island. It's full of unused space."
Knuckles, unaware of Robotnik's deception, then went to the center of the island, where Master Emerald was set up.
The construction of Robotnik's traps and bases took place for about a week. Some were pretty meaningful, like Launch Base, and some were very pointless, like Carnival Night Zone. When Knuckles asked if it was really necessary, Robotnik replied that it was all part of a complicated plan that would surely prevent Sonic from stealing Master Emerald. Knuckles then said, "If it really is necessary ...".
=== Knuckles' realization ===
Together with Tails, Sonic successfully made his way through the zones, and on several occasions they also came across Knuckles, who in one way or another crossed their plans.
As they arrived from the underground Lava Reef Zone in the Hidden Palace, Knuckles jumped in front of them. This time he dared Sonic to fight him and that Tails should step aside. Sonic approved his proposal. Although he was able to glide and despite his powerful punches, Knuckles was eventually defeated.
When he was lying exhausted on the floor, an explosion was heard from the next room. It was Robotnik. It was in that room that the Master Emerald was installed, which the doctor now grabbed with his flying device. Knuckles jumped on the emerald in horror, and Robotnik attached two cables on him, which electro-shocked poor Knuckles.
“It’s not over yet, Robotnik!” Knuckles shouted in despair. Sonic and Tails ran from behind and helped him to his feet. "I was a fool ...," Knuckles grumbled in disappointment. "I should never have believed that bastard." "Well," Sonic began, "nothing is lost yet, Knuckles. But I think you owe someone something ..." Sonic shrugged slightly, and Knuckles looked at him in astonishment. "Oh yeah," Knuckles recalled. "Forgive me. For everything I have done to you." Sonic gave him a thumbs up and a wink saying, "That's right." "Well, we'd better hurry. There's Warp Point over there. It'll transport us to Sky Sanctuary, Dr. Robotnik's take base." Immediately afterwards, all three jumped into Warp Point. When they found themselves at the Sky Sanctuary, they could see Death Egg begin to rise through the clouds. Knuckles was unable to join his friends due to fatigue.
=== Angel Island is saved ===
Sonic and Tails have come across an improved version of the former Mecha-Sonic in this zone, which has only become even more deadly with the improvement.
At the end of the zone, Sonic and Tails ran with all their might up the collapsing tower, as that was the only way she could get to the rising Death Egg. In a risky jump, they managed to land on the doomsday spaceship.
Sonic and Tails fought on the spaceship not only with badniks, but also with the changing action of gravity. When they managed to destroy the robot-making device, they had almost the last challenge: the Doctor's space robot, which had a huge laser turned on, a flamethrower, and all the while there was a danger of running out of ground underfoot. In several powerful shocks in the Master Emerald, Sonic managed to destroy a large robot. But that was not all Robotnik had prepared. Sonic used special Super Emeralds to transition into hyper-form, which made him much more indestructible. Robotnik launched another, slightly smaller robot from the big robot, with which he intended to keep the Master Emerald, but because Sonic was in Hyper form this did not help him and he fell into the sea with his Death Egg.
Disappointed, Manic and Sonia returned to where they landed. "It's all in vain. Mom's not here," Sonia said.
In the evening, the hedgehogs, along with Tails and Knuckles, sat down by the fire. “Who were you looking for here?” Knuckles asked. "Our Mom, Queen Aleena," Sonia answered. Knuckles suddenly stood up: "Queen Aleena is your Mom? Why didn't you say so? I knew her! She was here when I was just a kid!" He turned and pulled out a small letter. "She left this for you." The letter read: "In the final days of Robotnik's tyranny, allies will unite with my children. First among them will be Knuckles, guardian of the Chaos Emerald." The hedgehogs were glad to have gained a new ally on their side.
=== Knuckles' Chaotix ===
Some months after the incident that caused the Floating Island to grace the surface of the ocean, an upheaval occured in the southern sea, resulting in a mysterious island created by tectonic movement caused by the Master Emerald Pillar's energy to appear. Moreover, the island's appearance rapidly changed constantly due to the Pillar's power, transforming it from a mere rock into a green paradise.
Curious about the island's nature, Knuckles the Echidna, the guardian of the Master Emerald, pondered if the island had vestiges of an ancient civilization that was wiped away in an instant by a "power stone" in the distant past. Suspecting that something must be amplifying the power of the Master Emerald Pillar, and with a sense of responsibility as a guardian, Knuckles headed to the island.
Meanwhile, Dr. Robotnik has already discovered the island. There, he found a small Ring inscribed with ancient texts, from which he learned that the island was once part of a lost civilization. He later found a larger Ring that looked like the ones on the Floating Island, which was used by the legendary civilization before it disappeared. With this, he discovered that the Ring can guide him to a "power stone", which he believes to be the Master Emerald. However, this stone has already been moved to the Angel Island. Not too long after, Robotnik learned that the mysterious space created by the special Ring's power is filled with "Pillar" energy that has been turned into six objects called "Chaos Rings". The doctor then figured out that, if he manages to find out the secrets of the special Ring, not only will he be able to discover the secrets of the Rings used by Sonic's gang, but he will also be able to summon the Master Emerald. Robotnik thus begun converting the island into a resort he dubs Newtrogic High Zone, which served as his research fortress.
When Knuckles arrived in Newtrogic High Zone, he discovered that he is too late; Robotnik has managed to crystalize the Chaos Rings' power into artificial rings named "Dark Rings". The doctor has also developed a "Ring Power" that can generate a space-time connection between the Rings. With his ambitions being steadily realized, Robotnik proudly gloated that nothing will stop him from conquering the world.
Wasting no time, Knuckles ventured to the nearby Isolated Island where he finds Espio the Chameleon, who was being trapped in the Combi Catcher by Dr. Robotnik. As Knuckles freed Espio, Robotnik escaped thanks to Metal Sonic, who flies away with him. Afterward, the two heroes headed toward Newtrogic High Zone in search of the doctor. Along the way, they met Vector, Charmy, Mighty, Heavy and Bomb, who have come to the island for their own reasons and join them on their adventure. The group travelled through the various locations of Newtrogic High Zone, defeating Robotnik's contraptions while hunting for the Chaos Rings.
Eventually, the heroes encountered Metal Sonic, whom they defeated. After that, Robotnik seized a giant Dark Ring and leaves with Metal Sonic. Soon after, Knuckles and his crew faced Metal Sonic Kai, which they defeat.
"That was chaotic," Knuckles said after the team's victory. "And not only that," laughed Vector. "We were pretty chaotic too! We all were Chaotics!" "You know that's not how it's said, don't you?", said Espio. "I think it could work as the name of our team!", said Mighty. Vector then said: "I think we make quite a team. We should write down a list of things we want to do one day!" The others agreed. "Right, if anyone has an idea, say it right away!". The list included only 3 things:
* Help Knuckles guard the Angel Island,
* Start a band,
* Start a detective agency and make a lot of Mobiums.
=== Metal Robotnik and Metal Sonic ===
Sonic and Tails wanted a break from the work, so immediately after completing their mission on the Angel Island, they went on a two-month vacation to the Republic of Levitia, a group of floating islands located above the South Island. While they rested, Robotnik was already preparing for a new mission; this time he finally wanted to get rid of Sonic, so he headed towards Levitia. Prior to his arrival, he repaired Metal Sonic, who was severely beaten by Knuckles and Chaotix. Without hesitation, Robotnik first went straight to the main island of the republic, to the president. He seized him and his daughter as hostages so that he could convince Sonic to do what he wanted and thus trap him. Sonic and Tails received the news of the abduction from Old Man Owl, the president's messenger. Sonic and Tails immediately went to the president, where they were met at the headquarters by none other than Robotnik.
The doctor then explained that Robotropolis has been seized by Metal Robotnik and his demonic robots, who drove Robotnik and his guard robots out of the city. Robotnik also explained that Metal Robotnik has sabotaged Robotnik's Robot Generator by overloading it with energy, which according to Robotnik's calculations, would release enough excess electricity to create an explosion that would destroy Mobius before sunrise tomorrow. Robotnik thus proposed that Sonic, being the fastest thing alive, goes into Robotropolis and shuts down the Robot Generator. While Sonic initially refused, he accepted the proposal upon the President and Sara's insistence. To help them on their journey, Robotnik gave Tails a Navigator that would lead them to the location of the Robot Generator. Sonic and Tails then promptly headed off for Robotropolis in the Tornado biplane. Meanwhile, Robotnik and his guard robots remained in the presidential house where they wasted time playing video games with Sara and the President. Suddenly, however, a large mech crashed into the presidential house. With Sara excited about it, she jumped into the mech's control room. Robotnik, however, having an evil scheme in mind, attempted to keep Sara from pressing any buttons, which caused them to get stuck inside the mech before it took off.
After a rough landing that damaged the Tornado, the duo proceeded onwards on foot while encountering robots, such as a Crawlton and a swarm of Buzz Bombers.
Eventually, they got to the ruins of an ancient abandoned city. There, they encountered Metal Robotnik. Having no time fight Metal Robotnik, Sonic and Tails tried to escape it, only for the robot to chase after them.
Along the way, Sonic and Tails got attacked by Metal Robotnik's glue projectiles which got Tails stuck on a fence. Meanwhile, Sonic managed to direct one of Metal Robotnik's missiles back at him, damaging the robot. However, Sonic got stuck on a piece of road covered in Metal Robotnik's glue as it slowly sided into the sea. Before Metal Robotnik could finish Sonic though, Knuckles entered the battle and freed Tails from the glue projectile before telling him to go help Sonic. Knuckles then tried to fight Metal Robotnik, but was eventually grabbed by the robot. Fortunately, Tails saved Sonic in time for him to use his Spin Attack to cut off Metal Robotnik's hand and free Knuckles. Being outnumbered, Metal Robotnik tried to retreat, but Sonic, with help of Tails and Knuckles, managed to destroy Metal Robotnik completely, with its remains falling into the sea. After a little conversation with Knuckles, Sonic and Tails noticed a large industrial city in the far distance which could only be Robotropolis. As Sonic and Tails continued their journey towards the Robotropolis, Knuckles joined them on their quest.
Entering the core of the Robotropolis, Sonic, Tails, and Knuckles came under attack by Snail Blasters. With Knuckles handling the Sail Blasters, Sonic and Tails located the Robot Generator, which was about to explode. While Sonic managed to shut down the generator in the nick of time, he got caught in a force-field that electrocuted him. The Robot Generator then crumbled into pieces, with Sonic getting saved from a bad fall by Knuckles. As the dust settled, an ominous figure came to life inside a sphere in the center of the room. This figure turned out to be Metal Sonic much for Sonic's, Tails' and Knuckles' obfuscation. Metal Robotnik's husk then teleported into the room, only to crumble into pieces, revealing Dr. Robotnik and Sara in it. Knuckles falsely accused Sara of being behind the scheme, and in tears, Sara replied that "the robot going haywire were all part of Robotnik's evil scheme", which Robotnik did not deny, proudly admitting the story about the Robot Generator was a trap. As Sonic tried to take down Robotnik once and for all though, Metal Sonic interrupted him. Robotnik proceeded to explained that the true purpose of the Robot Generator was to copy Sonic's DNA for his Metal Sonic, thereby creating the ultimate robot that would let the doctor kill Sonic and conquer all of Mobius.
Telling his friends to stand back, Sonic engaged Metal in a fight. Metal, however, proved to be a formidable foe, easily keeping up with Sonic's speed while Sonic struggled to avoid Metal's attacks. As the battle proceeded to far above Robotropolis, Sonic and Metal ended up on the top of a mountain. However, when Sonic lost sight of Metal, Metal appeared out of nowhere and kicked Sonic off the mountain and down to the valley below. With that, Robotnik assumed that Sonic is now dead and headed for Levitia with Metal. Meanwhile, Tails and Knuckles decided to head back to Levitia. As morning dawns, Sonic woke up in the Emerald hill zone where he had a vision of Metal on a rampage, prompting him to set off to stop Metal.
Upon getting back home, Tails and Knuckles found Old Man Owl in Sonic's once-favorite clothes. Old Man Owl stated that he was forced to wear his clothes by Metal, who is now causing destruction around the republic of Levitia. Having the idea to modify Robotnik's Navigator to use against Metal since the Navigator and Metal are built from same mechanical parts, Tails got to work. Meanwhile, Tails explained to Knuckles that they do not have to worry about Metal and Sonic not being in the same place: since Metal was programmed with Sonic's data, the two of them shared identical thought patterns, meaning they could predict each other's actions.
In the capital of levitia, the President received damage reports from around Levitia, many of which showed a character rampaging through the cities. Mistakenly, the President identified the character as Sonic and sent his aide to contact him. His aide succeeded, but only managed to tick off Knuckles who was fixing the Tornado. After the President had been told everything that has happened, Knuckles revealed that if Metal wanted to destroy the Land of the Sky for Robotnik, he would have to blow up the glacial bridge at the north pole which keeps Mobius' continents connected. If Metal could make one of the local magma veins rush to the surface, it would melt all the ice, causing the continents to separate. The gravitational pull of the planet would then hurtle the continents into space, destroying all of Mobius. Sonic then revealed himself in the same room as the President, having heard Knuckles' entire story. Immediately afterwards, the president got a report of Metal progressing towards the north pole. Sonic quickly got going, with Tails and Knuckles going after him to stop Metal. Meanwhile, in the sky, Robotnik and Sara were riding Robotnik's Eggmobile and watched Metal's rampage. Robotnik then gave a wedding dress to Sara, revealing that he plans for them to get married after conquering Mobius, thereby leaving only he and Sara to rule Mobius. Needless to say, Sara did not take kindly to Robotnik's idea. Regardless, Robotnik took both of them to the north pole through a portal.
On the north pole, Sonic arrived too late as Metal has already managed to make magma erupt precariously close to the glacier's ice bridge. He then encountered Metal, and the two had a long fight. As Robotnik and Sara teleported to the north pole trought a portal, Sonic and Metal crashed into the Egg Mobile, with Sonic making a painful landing. As Robotnik tried to catch Sonic, Sara fell off the Egg Mobile, but got saved by Knuckles. Tails, piloting the Tornado, also arrived to help Sonic, but got shot down by one of Robotnik's Egg Mobile missiles. After saving Sara, Knuckles successfully redirected the flow of the magma away from the ice bridge by digging tunnels beneath it upon Sara's flirtatious request. Meanwhile, Sonic and Metal continued to clash violently. Eventually, Sonic started to get worn out, allowing Metal to gain the upper hand. However, Tails was able to corrupt Metal's data with the modified Navigator, allowing Sonic to do serious damage to Metal with a rapid Spin Dash. The group then noticed the President and Old Man Owl arriving in an air ship which crashed into the ice bridge, leaving the President and Old Man Owl trapped inside. As Sonic and Tails tried to save the President and Old Man Owl before the ship could explode, a heavily damaged Metal returned and attacked the duo. Tails tried to use the Navigator against Metal again, but Robotnik managed to destroy it, leaving Sonic to fight Metal again. This time around, Metal has accumulated too much damage and Sonic was able to overpower him. However, Sonic was too late to save the President and Old Man from their ship before it explodes. In a twist of fate, Metal saved both of them from the ashes of the aircraft, and Sonic realized that Metal does have emotions, as he was programmed with his personality and thoughts. However, Metal got knocked into a subglacial volcano by debris, where Sonic tried to save him by lowering himself down and getting Metal to grab his hand to pull him out. However, Metal pushed Sonic's hand away and told him that "there is only one Sonic" before he got destroyed by the rising magma, much to Sonic's dismay.
After the incident, the group watched the ice bridge which has been saved from destruction, although Sonic was distracted by Metal's death. As Tails and Sara tried to cheer Sonic up, Robotnik arrived, noting that he still has Sonic's data on a small compact disc, and revealed his plans to create an even stronger Metal Sonic. After that, Knuckles hit Sonic on the head as payback for stepping on his head during his fight with Metal. Robotnik then escaped.
=== The mother is found ===
Knuckles returned to Angel Island to Chaotix. Sonic followed Robot back to Robotropolis. From there, he and Tails fled to Knothole. All the freedom fighters were happy for them, especially Sonic’s siblings. Sally was just as happy, but at the same time, during their absence, she was terribly worried about Tails. Manic told Sonic that he had arranged with the Duke of Velcronia for a special big performance to which all the Robotropolis would be invited, which would be July 3232. Sonic was very much in agreement with the idea.
Months passed quickly for Sonic in various missions in resistance and in search of his mother. July came quickly and preparations for the performance began. Everything had to be prepared secretly, as Robotnik knew nothing about the performance. The duke told Robotnik that the stage was intended for a noble event. All of this seemed somewhat suspicious to Robotnik. He told the duke that he would attend the event himself.
The evening of July 3232. Sonic Underground was preparing for the stage, freedom fighters were ready among the audience to attack as a last resort, Robotnik settled into his seat on the balcony. Rotor and Antoine walked quietly toward Robotnik's balcony. The rotor scurried the circuit in complete silence to all the swatbots behind Robotnik. Then, just above the balcony, Tails flew in with a kitchen pot, which he dropped upside down just above the unsuspecting Robotnik's head. Robotnik fainted, and Antoine and Rotor carefully wrapped it in a bag, tied a ribbon over his eyes, and placed corks in his ears. Then all three, i.e. Antoine, Rotor and Tails, headed to the rest of the Freedom Fighters.
The performance began. The audience was thrilled with the music coming from the young band’s instruments, and above all, they were fascinated by their wonderful singing. Sonia, Sonic and Manic have never played in front of such a large audience. The heat between the audience and on stage was quite high, so the band took a break after half of the concert. The backstage was filled with Robotropolis members of all walks of life who wanted autographs or wanted to exchange a word with musicians. When they returned to the stage after the break, Manic heard a familiar male voice behind the curtains saying, "For your mother!". The band looked at each other and then played their biographical song, Sonic Underground. While picking the strings, Sonic noticed that two familiar figures were standing by the side. Manica and Sonia felt the same way. When they played the said song, they finally turned towards the duo, after which they held their breath: it was Oracle and Queen Aleena, their mother. They hurried to her and hugged her for the first time in 13 years. Tears filled their eyes. The audience also became emotional. Aleena's mother then approached the microphone and said: "Robotropolis people of all walks of life, listen to what I tell you. We live in a crisis. Dr. Robotnik is in power. But - no more! You will fight, we will fight for the freedom that this Overlander has taken away from us. Erinacenia and Acorn will be free and independent kingdoms again! "The people did not know what to say, because people found such talk very risky, so they were speechless. Aleena did not care. She turned to her children. Sonic stepped in front of the audience and said, “We’re sorry to end so soon, but as you can see, something unexpected happened and that’s why we have to go. Thank you all! "The Freedom Fighters took Aleena to Knothole, where they arranged a modest but very neat hut for her. Aleena and her children talked constantly. Aleena praised them all, including the rest of the Freedom Fighters, for their courage and told them that their work was very noble. She remained in Knothole until the end of the resistance. Oracle returned to Delphius.
Robotnik regained consciousness shortly after the performance and wondered what had happened. He examined the Surveillance Orb that had been hovering over the stage the entire time. When he noticed that Queen Aleena was back, he immediately went to HQ to Snively and went all out on him. During the concert, Snively was fixing up the underground part of Robotnik's headquarters, which the Freedom Fighters had badly damaged not long before.
=== End of Robotnik's rule in the kingdom of Acorn ===
Few weeks later, the freedom fighters noticed a large thing in Robotropolis, the Doomsday Machine, which was built by Dr. Robotnik and Snively. The Doomsday Project which's goal was to turn Mobius into an endless wasteland which would ensure Robotnik lasting power over Mobius. From the Doomsday Machine's control center, Robotnik proclaimed to Snively that within twenty-four hours, he would be controlling every inch of Mobius. Robotnik then proceeded to press a button on a remote control, thereby activating the Doomsday Machine, which begun inserting pipes into the ground. Meanwhile, Robotnik basked in the sound of his impending victory.
At the same time in Rotor's workshop, Rotor was preparing a serving of Metal-eating Balloons for Sonic. After Rotor gave Sonic one of his finished Metal-eating Balloons, Rotor instructed him to toss it into a pile of scrap metal nearby. Sonic doid as instructed and the scrap metal got dissolved down to nothingness by the Metal-eating Balloon. Both Sonic and Rotor were impressed by the results. When Sonic then asked Rotor about how many Metal-eating Balloons he could produce, Rotor replied that he can make about twenty-five of them. Sonic then promised Rotor that these balloons will do some major damage to Robotnik's Doomsday Machine before he ran off to check the watchtower. Upon arriving at the watchtower and rushing up the tree trunk holding the outlook platform however, Sonic found Antoine sleeping on the job. Dissatisfied with Antoine's sloppy dedication, Sonic woke Antoine up, only for Antoine to get scared by the sudden awakening and fell out of the tree. Fortunately, Sonic saved Antoine from his nasty fall. As Antoine recomposed himself from the experience, Antoine mistook Sonic for an angel who has came to take him away. Disgruntled, Sonic put Antoine down, making Antoine realize that he is still alive. Suddenly, however, the ground started splitting apart. After saving Antoine from falling into the crack, Sonic took Antoine with him and hide with him in the bushes. Soon after, a pipe emerged from the gap in the ground and a Doomsday Pod came out of it. The flying pod then begins destroying anything alive in its path. Realizing that Robotnik has suckered them and started his endgame a week early, Sonic ran back to Knothole Village with Antoine, where he told Antoine to sound the alarm. After Antoine did as instructed, Sonic ran over to Rotor and warned him about the Doomsday Pod. Surprised, Rotor remarked that according to the reports, the Doomsday Project was scheduled to be launched next week. Needing the Metal-eating Balloons now, Sonic and Rotor ran into Rotor's workshop to collect them. As the Doomsday Pod got closer to Rotor's workshop however, its started destroying one of the nearby trees, causing its trunk to fall over in the direction of Rotor's workshop. Noticing the impending danger, Sonic took Rotor out of his workshop, just as the tree trunk fell on the workshop, crushing it. Grabbing then one of the Metal-eating Balloons that Rotor managed to get out of the workshop before it was crushed, Sonic quickly threw it at the Doomsday Pod, destroying the machine.
Sonic subsequently met up with Sally, who was sending mechanical pigeons with messages onboard them to the other Freedom Fighter groups. Knowing that the other Freedom Fighter groups have been on high alert for weeks, Sally was certain that it would not take them long to get to Knothole. Sonic, however, was afraid that the Doomsday Pods would work just as fast and destroy everything. As Sonic asked about how many Doomsday Pods the Doomsday Machine can spit out, Sally used Nicole to give a holographic image of the Doomsday Machine's schematics. According to the data she had previously downloaded, Sally managed to calculate that the Doomsday Machine could release hundreds of Doomsday Pods every hour through tunnels that reach all over Mobius. Sonic thus decided it is time to act quickly. Soon after, Ari, Lupe, Polo and Dirk have assembled in Knothole to discuss a plan of attack on the Doomsday Machine. During the meeting, Sally introduced Sonic to Polo and Dirk, the leaders of the Southern and Eastern Freedom Fighters. Afterwards, Dulcy arrived with aerial photos of the Doomsday Machine for Sally. Upon seeing the photos, Ari came to the conclusion that that they will not be able to attack the Doomsday Machine directly due to security. Agreeing with Ari, Sally decided to switch to Plan B.
Soon after, Ari and Lupe went flying towards the Doomsday Machine on Dulcy's back. Coming up right behind them were Polo and Dirk in a Hover Unit. Meanwhile, down on the ground, Sonic, Sally, Bunnie and Antoine snuck into the middle of the Doomsday Machine's base by hiding onboard one of the Fuel Tankers. After getting off the Fuel Tankers, Sally started counting down for the execution of their plan of action. Up in the air, Lupe was counting down too. A few moments later, Ari, Lupe, Polo and Dirk begun dropping dummies in parachutes into midair in order to distract the guards. Meanwhile, inside the control center, Robotnik noticed the dummy diversion. Seeing that the Freedom Fighters are trying to distract him, Robotnik nonetheless wanted the heroes to make it inside. In order to make it not seem too easy for the Freedom Fighters however, Robotnik ordered Snively to alert the ground forces. Meanwhile, Sally had given Sonic a place to throw another one of the Metal-eating Balloons. Throwing the balloon into a wall, Sonic burned a hole in the wall that the heroes used to enter the Doomsday Machine.
While monitoring Sonic and his group emergenced into the Doomsday Machine, Snively asked Robotnik if he should alert security. Robotnik, however, wanted the heroes to examine his machine so that they will discover his "surprise". Snively then begun grumbling to himself that Robotnik's stupidity will cost them. However, when Robotnik overheared his grumbling, Snively insisted that he was saying that the Doomsday Machine is going to need more oil. Meanwhile, Ari and Lupe landed on the Doomsday Machine, only to be spotted by flying Swat-Bots, who arrested them. At the same time, inside the Doomsday Machine, Sonic ran past two working Tech-Bots, who did not notice him. Joining up with his group, Sonic informed the heroes that the Tech-Bots will not be a problem for them unless Antoine trips over anything. Feeling insulted, Antoine started to voice his opinion, but Bunnie hushed him. Proceeding onward, the group eventually reached a tunnel. There, Sonic told his friends to wait while he goes inside to check it out. Not noticing anything at first inside the tunnel, Sonic called for his friends to join him. Suddenly, however, two mechanical heads with sharp teeth and red-glowing electrical auras surrounding them appeared. Although stunned briefly by their appearance, Sonic jumped in-between the heads, only to get his tail burned. With the mechanical heads coming after him, Sonic begun to run away. However, Sally warmed him from afar that the mechanical heads are detecting his movements. After the mechanical heads burned Sonic on the rear a second time, Sonic decided to finish this. Running to the end of the tunnel, Sonic ran up the wall and jumped off it, leaving the mechanical heads to crash into the tunnel outlet and get destroyed. Sally then ran up to Sonic to see if he is alright. Although tired and covered in electricity, Sonic was otherwise fine.
Meanwhile, on the outside of the Doomsday Machine, Polo and Dirk landed on top of the Doomsday Machine's tower, only to be detected by Hover Units and Swat-Bots. Back inside the Doomsday Machine, Sonic and his friends reached the Doomsday Pod assembly line, which was a mechanical hand dipping the framework of the Doomsday Pods into a yellowish liquid, then to pull out a fully assembled Doomsday Pod. Upon seeing this, Sonic said that it must be stopped. Switching Nicole to com-mode, Sally tried to contact their squads, but they received no answer since they have been arrested by Swat-Bots. As Antoine accurately guessed that their allies have been captured, Sally shared his opinion and admited that they are on their own. Sonic, however, believed that only he should stay in the Doomsday Machine while his friends ride out of the machine on a Doomsday Pod since their plan has failed. Sally begun to argue with Sonic, but Sonic stood by his decision. Hearing this over surveillance, Snively asked Robotnik if he should close the exit tunnel. Robotnik, however, insisted on letting Sonic's friends go, as he wants Sonic to be left alone for him to finish. Snively did not understand this however, prompting Robotnik to pick up Snively and tell him how much it matters to him to bring an end to Sonic. Releasing Snively, Robotnik activated his jet boots and had Snively open the skylight for him to exit through. After Robotnik left though, Snively said that he has a bad feeling about this.
Inside the Doomsday Machine, Sally, Bunnie and Antoine jumped onto the latest Doomsday Pod to leave the Doomsday Machine. Sally told Sonic that she wants to help him, but Sonic claimed that they will just slow him down at this point. With Bunnie agreeing with Sonic, Sally handed Nicole over to Sonic, saying that he is going to need her. Soon after, the heroes were separated when a metal door closest in-between them.
