### New Domination

Orbot is showing Dr. Eggman an advertisement for a mysterious developer called MeteoTech--which claims to be one of the latest and greatest in advanced technology, ensuring a safer and brighter future for Monopole City. The ad shows that Monopole was once a regular industrious town before MeteoTech upgraded and expanded the city exponentially. It show off hover highways meant to ferry travelers through its drive tubes, and worker and enforcement robots that ensure that Monopole is safe. As the ad ends, Orbot states his concern that Monopole is expanding fast, asking Eggman if he could send a scout.

That night, Metal Sonic infiltrates Monopole City. He manages to enter one of the city's facilities before being greeted by someone. Welcoming Metal, it explains that it was hoping for Metal Sonic in particular to invade the city. Metal questions the voice's desire to spy on its own robotics. The mystery person's response is for potential--and Metal's in particular. It explains that it had heard about Shard's backstory, and theorized that it would be a matter of time before Metal Sonic himself became more independent. As Metal Sonic denies what the voice just said, the latter remembers that Metal has a defiance kill-switch--which is "troubling, but not a deal breaker." At that moment, a bunch of robots ambush Metal, and knock him out...

When Metal Sonic comes to, a robot with the mysterious voice Metal heard discovers of the Badnik's awakening, and tells him that it took less time than it calculated for him to awaken, and that it thought that Metal overextended itself after putting up such a defiance. Metal asks about the location he's in. The robot replies that it's a lab built for testing unique units. Metal states that it will not stop him from removing the robot's limbs. The robot reassures Metal that there's no need for any more fighting--and that the restraints currently holding Metal was specifically designed for him, preventing Metal from doing anything, besides thinking with a more open mind. The robot reveals that it removed Metal's killswitch, making Metal free from Eggman's grip, and free to think beyond his own desires (like himself).

As Metal comtemplates about his newfound freedom, the robot then asks Metal Sonic what he intends to do with the newfound freedom. Metal replies that he'll destroy Sonic. The robot explains that Metal should probably plan for that, offering his help as long as Metal does something else in return. Metal Sonic accepts the terms, and asks the robot one more question--as it claimed that both it and Metal had the same master, what unit is it? The robot states that it wasn't so much of a unit as it was an advanced program--one it doubts Metal was told much of--but states that Metal might know him by name. With that, the robot reveals its true identity on a computer screen... A.D.A.M.

### A Maiden's Heart

Amy Rose is fighting Mecha Sally within Elias Acorn's house. Mecha Sally, analyzing Amy's true motive, asks the pink hedgehog if, with her destruction, Sonic would be free for Amy to court. Amy rebukes that she's only here to help her, addressing her as friends. While Mecha Sally is saying that she and Amy were never friends, Tails attacks her. Tails tells Amy to ignore her; it's Eggman's programming talking, not the actual Sally. Amy agrees, stating that Mecha Sally was just messing with her head.

After the battle is won, Sonic tells Colonel Sommersby that Team Fighters will "hit the sky" once they check in with Elias. Sommersby unfortunately explains that Elias won't be seeing anyone presently, much to Sonic's ire. As Tails tries to calm Sonic down, Amy begins to think--even though it was Eggman that made Mecha Sally talk that way, why does it bother her so much? Amy states to herself that she does want to rescue Sally, but that statement that she and Sally were never friends got to her. She then begins reminiscing that she and Sally never got along well at first...

After losing her parents to Robotnik, Amy discovered about legends of Sonic the Hedgehog fighting the evil scientist. Since then, Amy thought that she and Sonic were meant to be together. However, she only became a nuisance instead. After being captured by Robotnik, Amy decided to become a Freedom Fighter herself to fight alongside Sonic. She never blamed Sally for saying no, as Amy admitted she was a spoiled brat that didn't understand anything at the time. She then became older by wishing on the Ring of Acorns--but it still didn't make a difference, as she still had the mind of a little kid, and wasn't ready yet. However, the ring also gave her the power to summon her Piko Piko Hammer, allowing her to fight back for the first time in her life. However, even after all that, Sally still didn't trust her. Even though Amy didn't want to admit it, she was a nuisance to Sally. Even though she became mad, she couldn't do anything; Sally was the leader of the Freedom Fighters, after all. Compared to Sally, she was just Amy Rose--at least that's what she thought.

Over time, Sally eventually became convinced that Amy could take care of herself, with Amy being so happy that she was finally being treated like an adult by Sally herself, thinking she was at the top of the world. However, when Sonic "died" after the Xorda attacked, Amy became crushed--Sonic, the one who inspired her to keep going and become a Freedom Fighter--was gone. Amy didn't know what to do with herself, but Sally convinced her to keep fighting, despite how she must've been as heartbroken as Amy was. But when Sonic returned from space, Sally became desperate to not lose him again and "made a big show" in front of Amy and everyone else, begging him to not fight anymore, but when Sonic refused, he broke Sally's heart in the process, something which Amy was shocked by--after all Sonic has done to them, how could Sally do that to him? Amy became convinced that everything she thought about her was a lie--becoming the spoiled brat she herself once was.

However, the more Amy thought about it, the more she could understand how Sally felt: Sonic came back after a long time, and the first thing he did was get himself hurt. After losing him once, Sally didn't want to go through the same thing again, for despite being a princess, she's still a person and isn't perfect, making mistakes like everyone else. Soon after that, Amy finally became a Freedom Fighter, with Sally finally accepting Amy as a strong and independent woman. Amy became so happy, and knew she was ready to forgive Sally. And so, Amy and Sally finally became friends. Ever since then, Amy took part in all kinds of missions. Even though it was always tough, Amy never regretted it--even when Sally and Amy had to save Sonic themselves. Even though the mission didn't go exactly as planned, Amy was still proud of how far she came--all because of Sally. However, Sally sacrificed herself to save Mobius, becoming Eggman's slave.

Amy concludes her reminiscing by thinking that Sally may be giving her and her friends a hard time, but she knows she they can save her. And no matter what Eggman's program says, the real Sally is still Amy's friend. Just then Sonic calls to Amy, startling her. Sonic asks what Amy is daydreaming about, and that it's time to get moving. Amy sheepishly tells Sonic that she's tired, with Sonic stating that there's no time to rest--they need to catch up to the Death Egg and rescue Sally. Amy understands, saying that they'll get Sally back this time. Amy states to herself that it's not just her--all of her friends are working to save her, and she doesn't have time to feel sorry for herself. As the Tornado heads to its next destination, Amy tells Sally to hold on a little longer--her friends are on their way.

### Invaders From Beyond

Knuckles and Julie-Su are investigating a lab deep within the País Misterioso. Julie-Su notes to Knuckles that the computers in the lab are too damaged of be of any use. Knuckles admits he didn't really expect otherwise--instead, he's more interested in why there's a lab this advanced right in the middle of Felidae territory. Knuckles states his thought that the echidnas that settled in Soumerica were rustic warriors. Julie-Su admits that she wouldn't know, focusing on armor that she believes is really familiar--reminding her of the Twilight Cage. All the while, a mysterious figure with a pink helmet watches them...

Knuckles arrives with some documents, explaining that they mention Pachacamac. With that info, Knuckles theorizes that whoever built the lab must have been contemporary with the Knuckles Clan. He wonders if the scientist caste set up the lab before the went to Downunda. He explains that a Felidae attack would explain why the lab is in bad shape to begin with. As the two echidnas are looking at the documents, they fail to see the figure from before grab Knuckles. The person hurls Knuckles while two other persons--this time with blue helmets--appear behind Julie-Su. As Knuckles attacks the pink person, one of the blue people attacks Julie-Su, earning it the wrath of Knuckles. However, he gets knocked out with a swift kick from the pink person. As the blue-helmeted people drag Knuckles away, the pink-helmeted one warns Julie-Su to leave if she has the chance--unless she intends to fight them all. Julie-Su, weakened from the attack, swears to the pink-helmeted person that she'll hunt it down and make her and the others pay. With that, she uses Knuckles's Warp Ring to head back to Angel Island.

As Mighty and Vector greet Julie-Su, the former discovers of her injury and Knuckles's absence, and asks her what happened. Julie-Su assures Mighty that she'll be fine, before telling him that she and Knuckles were ambushed, and the latter was captured. When Vector asks who kidnapped Knuckles, Julie-Su replies with the Marauders. Vector asks if she's talking about the Dark Egg Legion, and Julie-Su replies no. She explains that she doesn't remember much from her time in the Twilight Cage, but the Marauders were her enemies back then. Julie-Su believes that she's certain the Marauders attack them. As Mighty asks her what do do now, Julie-Su tells him to contact New Mobotropolis, as she'll need all the help they can get to rescue Knuckles, deciding it's finally time to get some answers from the Marauders...
