## Plot

The one shot starts with Chris sketching a comic with the hedgehog triplets and Amy observing his progress. She comments she should show it to the hedgehogs and much to Amy’s surprise and delight, Chris agrees without hesitation.

The two venture over to see Sonic napping with Sally resting her head on his chest, also napping, and the rest of the hedgehog family were there with Mighty. Chris shows the group the comic and everyone is most impressed with it. This makes Sonic wake up, but, Sally mumbles in her sleep, much to the group’s surprise, causing Sonic to believe it would be best to gently wake her up. Suddenly, Ray comes into the room with a water pitcher and accidentally spills some cold water on himself. Strangely enough, while he’s cold, he stops stuttering and Sonic rushes off to find a towel while allowing Sally to wake up. When Ray is dry, Sonic also comments positively on the drawings and something pops into Mighty’s head: he asks Sonia if her brothers and her were separated at birth and the three confirm this. Mighty then asks how they were raised, which piques Amy and Chris’ curiosity and Amy decides to round up everyone in the mansion to hear it. Sir Charles admits some of them do know the stories, but, Amy points out the likes of Cream and Vanilla do not, not to mention they may not know all three stories, but only one or two.

With that, Amy rounds up everyone and Jules gets out some tissues. Antoine asks why they need them and Jules insists there’s a few emotional bits in the story. Aleena then launches into the tale.

In 3220 of Mobius, Aleena was giving birth to the triplets in the best hospital on Christmas Island at Mobodoon. While she was in great pain with the birth, Jules was anxiously waiting outside her ward, pacing up and down. A nurse comes in not long after, telling him his heirs were born. He rushed over to meet his triplets in joy, (with Amy, Bunnie, and Cream commenting on how cute they were from the present day). The parents name their children: the blue hedgehog was almost named Olgilvie, after Aleena’s dad, but, was named Sonic Maurice Hedgehog at the last second. Their daughter, the purple one, was named Sonia Aleena Hedgehog. Finally, the green one was named Manic Olgilvie Hedgehog.With that decided, the parents were ready to spend their lives with their babies, when suddenly, an unfamiliar Mobian-like creature entered the room. He introduced himself as the Oracle of Delphius, with a warning from five years into the future: an ally would betray them and conquer all of Mobius. This ally turned traitor, of course, was Doctor Eggman, at the time known as Doctor Ivo Robotnik. The Oracle can only predict so much, but, he knows that Aleena, Jules, their children, and the Princess of the Acorn kingdom will form the council of six to help overthrow Robotnik. He also tells the new parents they’ll have to separate and give up the triplets in the next month, if they want them safe from Robotnik’s plans, a fate worse than death, so the Oracle says. He also mentions the medallions that Aleena plans to give them will help the kids reunite when they are older, and that Sonic must be raised in the Acorn Kingdom so he can bond with the princess, as they will forge an unbreakable bond.

In the present, Sally happily shows off her Promise Ring, proving the Oracle's words true. Aleena carries on her tale, saying the triplets’ birth was in an unfavorable time, during the Great War where Overlanders and Mobians were battling for dominance. Aleena had slipped the children off to their destinations while Jules battled in the war. He didn’t get out of it unscathed, however, as an Overlander shot him with an energy blaster gun and Bernadette had to rush him out of harm’s way.

At Sir Charles’ workshop, he was working on a new invention, the Roboticizer, thinking this will be a way to make sure no one will have to worry about dying again. Bernadette zipped in to see her husband with his injured brother in tow, much to Sir Charles’ horror. He instructs Bernadette to put Jules in the Roboticizer and it does its thing for the first time. Unfortunately, Jules’ memory was suppressed and his free will was taken away, which only horrified Sir Charles and Bernadette further. In the present though, Jules admits he got his free will back thanks to Sir Charles and Bernadette’s invention, the Ring Stone, which made him a Power Ring to restore his free will.

In the present day, Sir Charles admits Bernadette did most of the inventing, as he was so ashamed of what he did to his brother he opened a diner for five years, making Sonic realize why his uncle decided to sell his chili dogs in the first place. He resumes the tale by saying he was at the diner when it was closed one day when a hooded figure, Aleena, walked in. She tells Sir Charles he can’t procrastinate working with Bernadette forever, but, he admits he’s scared because his last invention reduced Jules to a mindless machine. Aleena tells Sir Charles she holds no ill will to him for that and he shouldn’t berate himself, in fact, she’s grateful Jules is around at all. Regardless, Aleena’s come to ask how Sonic was and Sir Charles tells her that he’s excitable and Bernadette had to make him Power Sneakers made with Power Rings to keep his shoes from wearing down. She also explains that Sir Charles needs to set up a playdate for Sonic with Maximillian’s daughter.

Later, “Julian Kintobor” is examining the Roboticizer while Sir Charles is giving him a tour of the lab and Bernadette is tinkering nearby. The Overlander is leading Sir Charles into a false sense of security and this is when he strikes with a bomb on in the lab. In the present, Sonic realized that this was how Bernadette died and Sir Charles sadly confirms this. The flashback shows that Sir Charles is injured, but, alive, as Aleena warps herself, Sir Charles, Bernadette, and Jules out of the lab. Bernadette and Sir Charles exchange one final kiss and the lavender hedgehog tells Aleena to take on her form as a disguise so Robotnik won’t find her in plain sight. In the present, everyone is sobbing at the story and Jules admits he was devastated as he was aware of what was happening around him, but, couldn’t do anything about it. Chris feels like he wants to punch Eggman, but, Sir Charles reasons that without an Ability Type or sufficient training, he can’t really do it and Chris would be hurt instead. Sir Charles also explains *he* should be the one punched as he shouldn’t have created the Roboticizer at all. Sonia laments she didn’t get a chance to know her aunt and Maria now finds even more reason to hate her cousin, much to her dismay.

When the triplets were closing in on their 15th birthday, Sally was letting Sonic rest up in bed. The Oracle shows up, much to her surprise, even more so when she learned he wanted to talk to Sonic. When he comes in, Sonic dismisses the Oracle and tells him to leave, too tired to get up. The Oracle then cast a spell to wake Sonic up, much to his shock, and the Oracle introduces himself. He then conjures up some chili dogs for Sonic to eat, making him believe he’s dreaming. He also reveals to Chris in the present day he’s gotten over using slang like “way past cool,” from when he was younger and back in the flashback, Sonic is told he’s a prince with a brother and sister somewhere out there. Both he and Sally are taken by surprise by this information, so much so the former faints.

Shifting gears to Sonia’s side, she reveals she was raised as a noble by Lady Windimire, who was a good mother, but not perfect, in Sonia’s words, and being rich had pros and cons. When she was five, she took gymnastic lessons, preferring to use the wall rather than her exercise room and she also took piano lessons. Sonia also recounts she had five minutes tops for breaks, excluding meals, bathroom breaks, showers, and bedtime. It’s also here that Lady Windermere tells Sonia she has a fiancé, much to her shock, and in the present, Amy realizes why her parents gave up nobility. In the past, Sonia asks when she got a fiancé and why, which Lady Windermere says there’s certain responsibilities for a noble class to fulfill. Sonia asks about those of the lower class and she wishes to help them out and Lady Windermere tells her to forget about them. Sonia isn’t interested in dating yet and Lady Windermere explains her fiancé perished before they could get married. In the end, Sonia reluctantly decides to try dating her betrothed.

On Manic’s side of the story, he mentions he was raised by Ferrell after he kidnapped him as a baby. He asks Manic if he’s been paying attention to his lessons and Ferrell walks forward, looking for his wallet. He realizes Manic’s taken it and the young hedgehog hands it back. Ferrell then reminds Manic to never steal from anyone who is just as or even more poor than himself. Manic also notes that even though Ferrell kidnapped him, he was a good dad.

Sally cuts back in with Sonic’s side of the story and wakes him up with a deep kiss. Sonic says he had a dream of having brothers and sisters and Sally tells him it *wasn’t* a dream. The Oracle further confirms this, telling him he has a brother and sister out there, and they were separated at birth to prevent Robotnik from finding them. Sonic feels he can stop “Eggman” as he’s been doing solo missions at age 10, without permission, in Sally’s words. The Oracle then reveals to Sonic he has parents and his mother evaded Robotnik for all these years. He also tells Sonic to use the medallion to find his siblings. Confused, Sonic goes to it and he starts to play a song, Someday, and far off, his brother and sister join in. After the song, Sonic is determined to find them, while Sonia and Manic are both confused as to what happened. Sonic realizes they are in Robotropolis with a few survivors and he heads out to find them, but, not before giving Sally a kiss. The Oracle then tells Sally what her part in the prophecy is.

Later, Sonic is playing his guitar and Manic and Sonia recognize the rift from before. Sonic reveals him to be their brother, much to their surprise. Before he can explain, Hover Units and SWATBots being lead by a Mobian wolf and dingo rush in. A remote is pushed and the wolf, revealing the dingo to be named Dingo, threatens to attack the triplets with bombs that Dingo had eaten earlier. Sonia quickly transforms her medallion into a keyboard, making a pink mist come out of it and distracting Dingo and the wolf long enough for Sonic to kick the wolf and drop Dingo, as well as allowing the triplets to escape.

When they are out of harm's way, Sonic asked Sonia how she managed to create the mist, though she has absolutely no idea. Just then, “Bernadette” shows up to the triplets, telling them the medallions have special powers. She also explains she was friends with their mother, which is how she knows this information, and it was too soon to tell her “nephew” about the powers. Manic asks where their mother is and “Bernadette” tells them to search Mobius. “Bernadette” and the Oracle sadly reveal to the kids that Lady Windermere and Ferrell had been roboticized, much to Sonia's horror. “Bernadette” tells the triplets they must continue to fight, as Robotnik’s reign will toughen if they don’t. The Oracle also tells Sonic to keep his friends in Knothole close to his heart, especially Sally, and Sonic goes back to tell them what he’s doing. Sonic is confident he won’t lose and to prove he was being serious, gives Sally a big kiss. Sonic promises he’ll be back and goes to join his siblings and “aunt.” Sonia admits it’s odd to hang out with brothers she never had until now, and Sonic says they’ve got all the time in the world to get to know each other. When they’re gone, Aleena turns into her true self, saying “I long for my children, but, I have to wait. To act too soon could seal their fate.”

In the present, Amy questions Aleena what that phrase was and Aleena says it was a mantra to remind herself to wait. Vanilla can’t believe Aleena went through so much and Hope can’t believe she was destined to be part of a council. Marine tries to make a joke, but, Blaze and Silver cut in and tell her it’s not the time. Aleena then finishes the story by saying she got tired of waiting and that resulted in Manic and Sonia being sent to another dimension via a Warp Bomb. Sonic is glad everyone’s together again, though, Manic wants to attack whoever used the warp bomb on him and Sonia with a Wind Fist Overdrive.

Further out, Dingo and the wolf from the flashback, now revealed to be named Sleet, are looking for Snively so they can work for him. Dingo wonders if that would be working for Eggman again, only for Sleet to reply they had to eat bread crusts and water for lunch earlier. He also threatens to turn him into a cockroach and trap him in a peanut butter jar. It’s also revealed here the only reason why Sleet hasn’t killed Dingo is because he made a promise to his dead mother that he wouldn’t and that his mother adopted him.

At Snively’s makeshift base, he is with the SSSSSS Squad trying to make something to rescue Eggman from jail. Snively asks Scratch for the fusion wrench (that looks like a wrench, ratchet, and a blowtorch), only for him to pick up the toilet plunger, much to Snively’s annoyance. Sleet and Dingo show up and are honored to know Snively knows of them. Sleet then tells Snively he and Dingo want to work for *him*, not Eggman, and shows Snively some Warp Bombs. Sleet continues to flatter Snively by showering him with compliments and working for him would be “the greatest honor in their meaningless lives.” Snively knows they are sucking up to him, but, gives in as he can’t stand being around the “brainless nincombots” for more than one second. After Grounder welds his elbow into the tanks treads, Snively asks Sleet to to unweld Grounder in the most painful way possible. He proceeds and Grounder screams in agony as the one-shot ends
