MOBIUS: METROPOLIS ZONE
Johnny Lightfoot, was sent flying back, by Vermin the Cybernik, then the heroes all surrounded the evil robot.
VILLIE: 'Nice to see one of King Ritus' old favourites again.'
VERMIN: 'I am outnumbered.'
SONIC: 'That's right, rat face.'
VERMIN: 'Then meet my brethren.'
Four more Vermins materialised around the heroes.
SHORTFUSE: 'Looks like we have bigger problems.'
SONIC: 'Let's split up, and take 'em.'
TAILS: 'Right.'
The heroes split up and took on the evil Cyberniks. Mighty punched a Vermin in the gut, blowing it up. Another Vermin was sliced in half by Villie's sword, which was crackling with energy.
VILLIE: 'Either the robots are getting weak, or we are getting stronger.'
Shortfuse and Rabbot stood with their backs to each other, each facing a Vermin.
RABBOT: (to Shortfuse) 'Ready Sugar?'
SHORTFUSE: 'Ready.'
They both fired at the two evil Cyberniks and destroyed them.
VERMIN: (to Sonic) 'You are dead!'
The robot tried stabbing Sonic with the spike at the end of his tail. And Sonic dodged all the tail movements. Then Sonic grabbed the tail, and ran the pointy end into Vermin's chest armour, giving it an electric shock. Sonic leaped into the air, and performed a spin attack, then he zoomed at the robot, destroying it. The heroes all cheered, then they heard Ritus's evil laugh, which caught their attention. They turned to face the empty spot where the laugh came from, and Ritus materialised there.
SONIC: 'King Rutus.'
RUTUS: 'Enjoy your celebration now, Mobians. Because sooner or later, my machines will take over Mobius. And everyone I so despise will be banished from existence forever!'
He teleported out.
GROUNDER: 'When he said "banished from existence", does that mean he's gonna kill us?'
SCRATCH: 'Quiet idiot!'

SPECIAL ZONE: CHAOTIX SPACESHIP
The Chaotix team, Shadow, Rouge and Shade returned through the Omni Viewer portal. They all settled down.
SHADOW: 'Now we've stopped King Ritus, we can continue with the history lesson, right?'
OMNI: 'That's right, Shadow. Now we've covered the origins of Sonic, Doctor Robotnik, the Kintobor Computer, Scratch, Grounder and Coconuts. Now onto the next chapter of Sonic's adventure. How he met Tails.'
The Omni Viewer's face disappeared, and in its place appeared an image of Sonic with Porker Lewis and Johnny Lightfoot in the old underground lab.

UNDERGROUND BASE
Sonic, Johnny and Porker stood at a table. And on the table were all six Chaos Emeralds.
JOHNNY: 'So what shall we do with the Chaos Emeralds? We can't let Robotnik get his hands on them.'
SONIC: 'We must transport them to a hidden location.'
The Chaos Emeralds glowed and as Sonic was closer to them, he got blinded by the energy. The energy caused Sonic to turn from blue to yellow.
PORKER: 'Sonic, are you alright?'
SUPER SONIC: (revealing his scary swirling eyes) 'Alright? Do I look alright?!'
JOHNNY: (scared) 'S-S-Sonic?'
SUPER SONIC: 'I've gotta get out of this place!'
He powered up, and blasted through the ceiling of the lab. The blast sent Sonic flying high up into the air above the Green Hill Zone.

SWAMPLAND ZONE
Super Sonic crash landed in the zone, and changed back to Sonic.
SONIC: (getting up, rubbing his head) 'That was a rough landing. (Noticed his surroundings) Hey how did I end out here.'
VOICE: 'Help! Help!'
SONIC: (hearing the voice) 'Hang on kid, I'm coming!'
He ran in the direction of the sound and saw a couple of fox tails sticking out of the swamp.
SONIC: 'They're in trouble. Hold on guys.'
Sonic grabbed one of the tails, and pulled on it. He pulled Tails out of the swamp.
SONIC: (to Tails) 'You okay.'
TAILS: (coughing) 'Yes.'
SONIC: (looking at the swamp) 'Oh no. I failed to save your friend.'
TAILS: 'My friend? I was out here on my own.'
SONIC: 'But I saw two tails.'
TAILS: 'They were mine.'
Tails turned around, showing off his two tails.
SONIC: 'You really have two tails.'
TAILS: 'Told ya.'
OMNI: (Voice Over, with the following clips showing) 'Sonic took Tails to the Green Hill Zone, then he went back to the lab to get the emeralds, and place them in the North Cave of South Island. While Sonic was away, Scratch and Grounder captured Tails, and Robotnik turned him into Robofox. When Sonic returned, he faced against Robofox, and Robotnik in his Egg-O-Matic Chain ball Machine. When Sonic was at Robotnik's mercey, Tails was able to regain control of his senses.'
TAILS: 'This is wrong! Sonic is my p... pal.'
He shed his robot armour, and attacked Robotnik, destroying the chain ball machine.
OMNI: (V.O.) 'Tails defeated Robotnik, and started living with Sonic at his new underground base.'
The screen changed back to Omni's face

CHAOTIX BASE
ROUGE: 'So that's how Tails came into Sonic's life. How sweet.'
OMNI: 'Several weeks later, Sonic brought Tails, Johnny and Porker to the Emerald Hill Zone, to meet with me, so I could show them the origin of Robotnik.'
His face changed into an image of what happened next.

SPECIAL ZONE
OMNI: (V.O.) 'But Robotnik took advantage, and used me to send them forward in time, so he could take over Mobius. But little did he know, I only sent Sonic and his friends six months into the future, so they'll have a chance to save Mobius.'

EMERALD HILL ZONE
Sonic, Tails, Johnny and Porker all looked in shock at the Emerald Hill Village. Posters of Robotnik's face were about, and the villagers were being treated like slaves by Robotniks new Trooper Badniks.
SONIC: (in rage) 'I'LL GET YOU FOR THIS, ROBOTNIK!!!'

OMNI: (V.O. And showing the next series of events) 'A lot happened when Sonic returned. He went undercover as Bob Beaky, and freed many of the Zones from Robotnik's enslavement. Tails falls in love with a certain fox, who was one of Robotnik's creations. Amy Rose was taken prisoner by Metallix the Metal Sonic, and Sonic rescued her. A pirate named Captain Plunder found the Chaos Emeralds, which temporary turned them into hippies. Sonic met a girl claiming to be his sister, Helen. Now you all know what she really is. And eventually, Robotnik launched his ultimate weapon, the Death Egg. But his first launch was a failure. And he crashed landed on the Floating Island. That was the day we found out the island wasn't a legend. Robotnik met Knuckles, the sole guardian of the Chaos Emeralds, and Robotnik manipulated Knuckles with lies about Sonic. Eventually, Robotnik showed Knuckles his true colours, when he got the powers of the Chaos Emeralds, for himself. But Knuckles stopped him, using the missing Grey Chaos Emerald to remove the powers from Robotnik. Sonic and Knuckles returned to help relocate the freedom fighters from the destroyed underground base to Knothole. And also stop the Devastator, a powerful robot, created by Scratch, when he took over thinking Robotnik was destroyed. Then the freedom fighters and Knuckles returned to the Floating Island, to stop the re-launch of the Death Egg.'
Omni's face reappeared.
JULIE-SU: 'Knuckles must have awakened from suspended animation, when the Death Egg crashed on the island.'
OMNI: 'Actually he woke up a month before the crash.'
JULIE-SU: 'And until he learnt the truth, he thought his people were still alive out there. Now there's only five of us now. Me, Knuckles, Lien-Da, Finitevus, Zachary, and you, Shade.'
SHADE: 'Yeah.'
OMNI: 'Don't forget Tikal. She and Chaos left Mobius after Sonic purged the darkness from Chaos.'
Omni's face showed the next series of images.
OMNI: 'After the whole Death Egg scheme, Robotnik established Citadel Robotnik in the heart of the Metropolis Zone. He transformed himself into a more fearsome appearance, in order to spread fear across Mobius.'
Robotnik appeared resembling his SatAM counterpart, in the control room of the Citadel.
ROBOTNIK: 'There will be no more of my old inferior creations. I will create new evil robots to be reckoned with.'
OMNI: (V.O.) 'Robotnik and Grimer began the Cybernik project, and Shorty was the sad victim. But luckily, his sabotage left him with a free mind, and he used the Cybernik armour for good instead of evil. And Porker Lewis and the Kintobor Computer created the Power Stone which can generate Power Rings, to use against Robotnik's stronger robots. And eventually, Knuckles came across a transport ring, which sent him to the Special Zone, where he met me, and the Chaotix. But little did we know, we had a traitor, and it was Nack the Weasel. He sold us out to the Brotherhood of Metallix, who used a pirate copy of me to re-write the history of Mobius. But luckily, Sonic and the Chaotix were on the Miracle Planet when the change happened, so they were the planet's only hope. They changed history back, and with Robotnik's help, they defeated the Brotherhood of Metallix once and for all.'
Omni Viewer's face appeared again.
MIGHTY: 'Those evil robots were a nightmare.'
ESPIO: 'At least we never had to face them again, apart from when Enerjak brought the Emperor back to life.'
CHARMY: 'Don't forget the scary Metallix Overlord.'
ESPIO: 'Yes, him too.'
SHADOW: 'So, what happened next?'
OMNI: (showing more visual images) 'After the Metallix problem was dealt with, one of Grimer's reject robots came back to Mobius, known as Ugly Bird. But you guys know him well as Bob.'

CITADEL ROBOTNIK: CONTROL ROOM
Ugly Bird appeared lying on his front, trying to get up.
ROBOTNIK: 'Scratch, cease that intruder!'
SCRATCH: (walking up to Ugly) 'Yes, Master.'
Scratch pulled Ugly up to his feet.
GROUNDER: 'A visitor. Oh boy.'
UGLY: 'You guys should put up a sign. That last step's a doozy.'
GRIMER: 'Ugly Bird? What are you doing here?'
ROBOTNIK: 'You know this guy?'
GRIMER: 'He was one of my earliest robots, before I teamed up with you, Robotnik.'
UGLY: (to Grimer) 'How you doing, Slimey?'
SCRATCH: 'I knew I smelt something.'
Ugly sniffed his armpit.
UGLY: 'Yep, yep, that'd be me all right.'

OMNI: (V.O.) 'With the help of four rebuilt robots, Ugly actually succeeded in defeating Sonic, rendering him unconscious and injured. The Cybernik's armour was badly damaged too, which resulted in the explosion that injured Sonic. After Tails and the others rescued Sonic, Cybernik left to find help. He found and rescued Tekno from Robotnik's Trooper Badniks. Tekno repaired Shortfuse's armour, and gave him a new look, When he was ready, he returned, and defeated Ugly Bird. Tails and the others journeyed to the Mobius Palace, where they met Princess Sally, who had a healing remedy that can save Sonic.'
SHADE: (V.O.) 'You mean like Scratch's medicine?'
OMNI: (V.O.) 'Technically yes. Scratch's medicine was created by scientists in New Tek City, so it's more advanced than the medicine Sally used. And in return, Sally joined the freedom fighters in the fight against Robotnik. With her computer, Nicole, Sally had proven to be of great help to Sonic and his team, though Amy couldn't help but be jealous. Sally and Sonic did seem to have a bit of a romantic relationship. Later on, Robotnik's Roboticizer was complete, and ready to turn Mobians into robots. They captured Bunnie, and used her as a test subject. But the machine overloaded.

CITADEL ROBOTNIK: ROBOTICIZER ROOM
Bunnie was in the roboticizer cylinder, as it activated. Bunnie got zapped, and an alarm went off.
GRIMER: 'The Roboticizer is overloading!'
ROBOTNIK: 'Shut it down! Shut it down!!'
Explosions occurred around the control panel, and the machine shut down. Bunnie now had a robotic arm and legs. She gasped in shock, and looked mad at Robotnik.
BUNNIE: 'I'll get you'll for this!'
She used her robot arm to smash through the glass, and leaped out.
ROBOTNIK: 'Badniks, get her!'
Three Trooper Badniks entered the room, and Bunnie used her martial arts skills on the badniks, and destroyed them. Then she escaped.
ROBOTNIK: 'I don't believe it!'

OMNI: (V.O.) 'Bunnie joined the freedom fighters, and became close friends with Sally. Eventually, the Roboticizer was repaired, and Robotnik used it on Johnny Lightfoot. He became an obedient robot slave to Robotnik. Later on, Sonic used a Power Ring to jog Johnny's memory. They got to the Roboticizer, and Nicole put it in reverse. And they used it to de-roboticize Johnny. Bunnie was next, but thanks to the incompetent antics of Scratch and Grounder, the Roboticizer was damaged, and Bunnie had to remain part robot a little longer.'
ROUGE: (V.O.) 'But when does she change back?'
OMNI: 'Patience, Rouge. I shall get to that. The freedom fighters teamed up with other freedom fighters around Mobius, when Robotnik launched a second Death Egg. Sonic and Sally used the Deep Power Stones that were recently discovered, to bring down the Death Egg, and since then, Sonic and Sally used the stone's incredible powers to destroy Robotnik's powerful robots.'
SHADOW: (V.O.) 'Robotnik must have been in for it now.'
OMNI: (V.O.) 'He sure was. But then a bigger crisis happened. And even I had a bigger role in this. Sonic turned into Super Sonic, and caused a lot of destruction. The solution was to use a Star Post to separate Super Sonic from Sonic himself. But Super Sonic ended up in the Special Zone. Sonic went into the Special Zone to find Super Sonic, who was waiting for him. And I had no choice, but to slow down my time, by trapping Super Sonic within myself. The problem was that Sonic was trapped in the Special Zone, and at the worst possible time too. An evil alien known as Emperor Doom showed up on Mobius, and formed an alliance with Robotnik. Thanks to Emperor Doom, Robotnik discovered the location of Knothole Village in the Great Forest. And Doom sent Ugly down there with a Destruction Orb.

KNOTHOLE
Tails, Sally, Bunnie, Johnny and Villie confronted Ugly with the orb.
JOHNNY: 'We'll take that orb, Ugly.'
UGLY: (turning to face the heroes) 'Huh? Hey, who invited you?'
SALLY: 'You know you can't win. Give it up.'
UGLY: 'You know, you guys are getting on my nerves.'
TAILS: 'Good, then give us the orb and then leave.'
JOHNNY: 'Whatever your game is, you're gonna lose.'
UGLY: 'Really? Then maybe you should play a little game of "Pin the Tail on the Clucker".'
An army of chicken robots materialised around him, resembling the Tengas from Power Rangers.

OMNI: (V.O.) 'The Cluckers, which Ugly brought with him to Mobius, separated the strength of the freedom fighters. Johnny, Sally, and Tails were left to stop Ugly from planting the orb. But it was too late. Ugly planted the orb, and the freedom fighters had to evacuate. Emperor Doom triggered the orb, and the whole Great Forest went up in flames. And Robotnik and Doom claimed victory over the freedom fighters. It appeared the dark hour had arrived.'
Omni's face reappeared.
SHADOW: 'Omni, is your story accurate? I mean I've set foot in the forest.'
ROUGE: 'They must have brought it back somehow.'
OMNI: 'You are right, Rouge.'
JULIE-SU: 'So what happened next?'
OMNI: 'Well...'
SONIC'S VOICE: 'Sonic calling Chaotix. Come in Chaotix.'
They turned to see Sonic on the monitor.
VECTOR: 'What's up, Sonic?'
SONIC: 'King Ritus has sent an army of Vermins to multiple zones on Mobius.'
SHADOW: (getting up) 'Looks like duty calls again.'
ROUGE: 'A major cliff-hanger this time. I can't wait to hear what happens next.'
The heroes all leaped through the Omni Viewer portal, and Omni's face reappeared.
OMNI: (smiling) 'And I can't wait to talk about it.'
