story: Sonic resting with, on his foot, Flicky who he is talking to. He tells her that he is resting because his last day was a bit crazy, but the others, no. Amy has gone to help people with the "restoration". Knuckles watches the Master Emerald on Angel Island, Silver watches for a dark threat that would put the future in danger and Tails is immersed in one of his ten million projects. He told them that he could relax, that all danger was averted, but as soon as he is the one who tells the others to slow down, there is a problem. Tails arrived so fast and screaming so loud that there was a problem that Flycki left. the little fox asks his best friend to look at the piece of paper he has in his hands. It was written there that he was invited to a big party in the village of mills to celebrate the return of the most brilliant doctor on the planet. He asks him where it came from and Tails says it just appeared in his workshop. Sonic was worried because it looked like Eggman. Tails asks Sonic if he and the Chaotix knew that Eggman had lost his memory and had become a nice mechanic and Sonic replied yes and that his name was Mr. Thinker. He wondered if he had regained his memory, if he was acting, or if there were other explanations and the worst is that Shadow will tell them: I told you so. Tails started to panic and said to himself that it could be serious and that he should check immediately if Mr. Thinker was still in the village of the mills and Sonic offered to race him to the village. Meanwhile, Eggman is humming with delight and Starline tells him that Sonic has been dumbfounded according to his instructions. but did you really have to be so blatant? for a simple ambush would have sufficed. Eggman is satisfied with it and says to him that he wants a world proclamation and that this letter, very subtle for him. Starline resumes telling him that he didn't want to doubt him and Eggman finishes by saying to go to the tests. a flower was placed in the center of a small narrow cabin, a silvery liquid falls on it, takes on its color and becomes metallic. Starline sells the merits of this invention but Eggman is skeptical. Active plant tissue is well metallized, but not manufactured wood. More data is needed. He asks to bring the animals.

Sonic and Tails inspect the city, nothing on fire, no robot but no sign of life, bad sign. Tails thinks that Eggman might have captured all the inhabitants, but Sonic points out to him that he didn't destroy anything, and that's not his style. Dean Scruffy calls him, he was hanging from a tree with a rope, there was a poster hanging around his body that said "pinata". Sonic runs to ask him if he's okay and he asks to help them. Tails unhooks the rope and asks him what happened and Sonic picks him up from the ground. The dean replied that he was fine, but that the others weren't... The thugs would have captured Mr. Thinker then came back and locked everyone in the village hall. Sonic asks how long Mr. Thinker has been captured and Scruffy replies at least a week. Tails asks if they were the same thugs who captured the mechanic and attacked the village and he says yes, he's never seen them before and they might still be around. The young fox asked if he had heard their names but the dean couldn't speak because a voice said he could. Rough and Tumble appear and make one of their umpteenth mottoes. Sonic tells his friend, amazed that they managed to make two words rhyme in their motto, that it was gross that he corrected with Knuckles at the fortified village. they have weapons, it's, serte, new, but doable. He asks her to help Dean Scruffy, he takes care of the rest. Rough complains that io belittles them and that if they had won it was because he was allied with the wisps, Tumble asks where Knuckles is and Sonic replies that he has better things to do than you learning modesty and it was her turn to ask questions: Where's Eggman? He's the one who got you out of jail? Rough, annoyed, yells that they didn't need any help, but Sonic isn't gullible, they're just not smart enough to build weapons like that and even the two of them , they are not subtle enough to pose an enigmatic letter. He will leave his mystery to the Chaotix for now. A real fight begins between them. Tails and Dean Scruffy come to rescue the villagers. Meanwhile, Eggman wants to use his metal virus on vertebrate specimens. He pours the liquid over Pocky and he becomes like a metallic robot with red eyes and black pupils. He asks her to catch Picky, which he does without discussing. then he drops it without respite. Picky begins to get infected, too, but too slowly for Eggman's liking. The metallic Pocky threatens Ricky by scratching and creaking the small red windows of his cell. The evil genie asks the little squirrel to go and pick the metallic flower where he asks Pocky to catch it, so without hesitation, he runs towards the flower and must touch all the samples with the flower. A Bee Bots head, a Sandwich and a rock and no trace of infection on the objects but Ricky is contaminated and Eggman is very proud of it. Starline tells her new boss that he's happy to work with him and that it's an honor he didn't expect when he was looking for her. Eggman asks him how he managed to find him so vote while Metal Sonic raked half the planet without ever finding him and Starline explains to him that it is thanks to the Wrap Topaz. With a light charge, one can open "windows" to the world in an instant. He therefore looked farther in a few hours than Badniks in a whole day. Eggman spots Sonic through this "window" and asks to zoom in to see if he's getting knocked down. Sonic takes a punch in the stomach from Rough's new machines but Tails comes up from behind and surprise kicks him in the head and helps Sonic up. Tumble tries to atomize Tails and Rough asks him what he's up to and why he's there. Sonic and Tails take on the mottos of Rough and Tumble by twisting them in their own way. Rough was angry at this copy and Tumble threw a fit, like what, he's losing his tail but Tails has two. The fight resumes with Tails dealing with Rough and Sonic with Tumble. Tails turns Rough's Vapor Capacitor against its owner and is therefore out of the game. Meanwhile, Starline asks Eggman to pass test six, but Eggman tells her he doesn't have one. Starline begins to doubt her idol so admire. Sonic taunts Tumble and knocks an elice out of one of the grinders which grate into slices his robotic tail created by Eggman and he begins to cry. He had everything back, the length, the weight, it was his new tail. Sonic had some pity and Tumble told Sonic that he's heartless, that all he wanted was to smash his skull. Idle and crying, Tumble was also offside, the heroes won. Sonic asks Rough what they did with Eggman, but before he can answer, they disappear into one of Starline's "windows". Tails asks his hero if he's back because these guys kidnap Mr. Thinker and show up with some new gadgets. Sonic wonders who got them out of jail and who told them where Mr. Thinker was... They're missing half the pieces, maybe there was someone else in the story, someone who uses Mr. Thinker to make toys, for example... the fox asks Sonic to stop and the blue hero tells him that he just hopes that's not the obvious explanation. He says he's going to see Silver to see if io hasn't found something and asks him if he wants to come but he refuses because he has to help the villagers clean up the village. Sonic therefore, all alone, and says to himself that the strange attacks from nowhere, Tails and him having to separate, it looked a lot like the beginning of the adventure with Neo, but he will find the culprit, Thinker, Eggman or other. In a final scene, Rough and Tumble are seen crying for another chance, but Metal shows up and strangles Rough to prove his skills to him, and Starline says he has a plan, too, and Eggman seems pleased.
