## Story

Tails and Sonic keep Metal Sonic on a machine and Sonic asks his best friend to wake him up even though the fox doesn't seem thrilled about the idea. He wakes him up anyway and Metal jumps on Sonic, but due to lack of energy, he collapses in his arms before hurting him. Sonic tells his metallic alter-ego that there is no more Eggman and that he is free to make his own choices, and holding his hand, hoping for a friendly truce with him, he hesitated, but punched him. hand and left immediately. Tails asks him if everything is alright and if we are prosecuting him, but Sonic tells him that he made his decision and that his choices had to be respected, although he was a villain, he at least had his chance to choose. his voice. On the other side, Starline's machine didn't work, Mr. Thinker is still a nice mechanic, Rough gets angry and tells him that he wants the amrms he promised, but right away, although "He obviously doesn't need it, it's just for show," Tumble added, hesitantly. The doctor calmed them down by saying that we just have to wait for him to regain his identity. Cubot and Orbot have an idea. They rush towards the mechanic and ask him if he wouldn't want to threaten them or resuscitate creatures to see them escape his control, but nothing, Mr. Thinker takes Cubot in his arms and asks him who to do well. could have created them that way. Orbot then prefers him to Eggman and Cubot wonders if this question is a threat that did not look threatening. Metal Sonic walks in, broken, into the room. Mr. Thinker rushes to fix it, but at the slightest contact, all his memories come back. Mr. Thinker became Eggman again. He shouts to Starline, Rough and Tumble who they are and how it happened, Starline was excited to see him again and Orbot was, on the contrary, sad. Starline presents himself as a colleague and a great admirer of his work. the evil genius asks Starline to continue talking, Metal to get on the repair table and his two servant robots to get him some real clothes. So he started to repair Metal and Starline explained to him that he had lost his memory and his personality after their last battle and that he had ended up in remote villages in the hills. And with his methods and his associates, he had brought him back. Eggman asks him which associates and Rough and Tumble make one of their mottos with a choreo. Eggman asks if they are still like that and Starline replies that alas, yes. But since they were violent, dumb, and hated Sonic, they would make perfect cannon fodder. Eggman laughs and rejoices when he learns that they also hate the blue hedgehog, so he promises them gadgets. Rough and Tumble are in a hurry. The doctor asks them not to disappoint him and he asks one last question to Starline: How did he bring back a personality? He explained to him that he administered neurostimulants and aggressive hypnotherapy and to bring him back, he used the Warp Topaz. A unique jewel that can distort space to create passages to other places. Eggman tells her that he had already seen enough magic stone so Starline instead offered him the 7 Chaos Emeralds he had in a trunk. Eggman then welcomed Starline and her gift willingly into his troupe. Meanwhile, Sonic inspects Angel Island and tells Knuckles that it looks intact. He also asks him if he wants to come with them to the Resistance HQ but he tells him that he was busy protecting the Master Emerald. He also asks him how he intends to lead the resistance from a distance, since he had become its commander, and he tells him, that the war is over and Metal is scrapped, he says that the resistance is dissolved. Sonic leaves the island and meets Amy on the way and asks her what she is doing and she replies that she is taking inventory of the ship. He asks her if there are other interesting things she found, and she says yes, there are tons of materials that can be reused for construction. Amy says that since Knuckles doesn't like it, she takes care of it. She stops with a embarrassed laugh and turns her head to look away and Sonic resumes, in the same state as her and he tells her that Knuckles wants to dissolve the resistance. Surprise... Amy resumes more normal, but with a desperate air asking him if he was serious and he nodded yes. The Chaotix arrive for "payday". Amy asks them what that means and Vector explains to her that Eggman's case was closed, that they found out where the doctor was and who the impostor was impersonating him. Espio adds that their reward should be significant. Amy stammered and Sonic whispered to her that he was going to let her handle it and left. Sonic ran into Tangle and Whisper who were talking and he asked them if they were ready to go home and Tangle was excited. she tells him that she misses her village but that they were on a flying paradise, that they had fought a robot-dragon and had survived and that she might not be able to get her life back. Sonic asks Whisper if she's made any new friends and Tangle says she's great and has amazing jokes but the wolf hides under her mask. Tangle wonders if she said something wrong and Sonic tells him to let her breathe and apologizes to Whisper. He goes to see Blaze and Silver who was talking together, Blaze told back but Silver wanted to stay to find the threat because, celin him, she did not rule out. Sonic arrives and tells Silver to look on the bright side, because that means they can keep hanging out together and go back to find Rouge and Shadow but only find the former. She was lying on a lounge chair bearing the Eggman symbol and she was wearing sunglasses. Sonic asks her where she found this chair and she tells him that it was in Eggman's private storage. the blue hedgehog asks her when does Eggman take the sun and she tells him not to be deceived by appearances, that he had a very meticulous diet. Sonic chuckled and asked her if she was going to resume spying and she said that for now she was enjoying this tropical getaway with a view on the Master Emerald. Sonic ends up telling her if Shadow had already left and she tells him yes, Sonic asks her to thank him for him and she will try to pass it on to him. He went to see Tails who asked him if he was ready for takeoff and Tails replied that they had just left and that he was right on time. Knuckles watched them take off from afar. Sonic congratulates Tails for fixing it so fast but Tails tells him that he has to congratulate him, provided that they arrive in one piece but the hero tells him that they were crushed many times and that they were still there though. Elsewhere, the genius Starline asks his new leader if the bio-data that Metal had copied was compromised and if he could not try to reconstruct other things and he tells him that Neo did well but that is over. Starline asks him if he has a new plan in mind and he tells him yes, but that he would need time and that he should occupy Sonic until he is ready. Rough and Tumble complained, having had the plans, that it was unusable and Eggman reversed the sheets and the two mercenaries were amazed saying it made more sense. Orbot told his boss that he had put the schematics on file as he had requested and Cubot looked worried and he asked him if he was really sure to launch his on the world and Eggman shouted yes and that the world would suffer accordingly. to have him uplifted
