When the whole gang exited the Robot testing area with an exhausted Code Red in the Arms of Commander Rouge the Bat and Florist Amy Rose, Sonic who held back to watch Eggman be taken away joined the end of the line escorting the two girls with the Red and Purple Hedgehog between them towards the outside of the building so Code Red could be seen as a Hero.
When the gang spit up later on, Sonic finds Tails and the two head towards the workshop in the Mystic Ruins, "Hey Tails, do you mind if I use the computer for a quick call" Sonic asked Tails as they walked into the Train Station awaiting the train to the mystic ruins. "Sure, I bet I know who will be on the other end, Why don't you just get them to stay in station square Sonic?"
"You know me to well Tails, and I would love for them to stay in station square for longer than to two day they would every time something like this happens, but it's always the same problems, Bartleby never wants to see Sonia go and Sonia just can't keep away from the Money he has, and Manic just can't afford it" Sonic replied to the Fox's question about his siblings "also Bartleby would lose his mind every time Knuckles has tried to flirt with Sonia" which made both of them chuckle as they thought about many times Knuckles as tried to Flirt with Sonia and made a fool of himself before boarding the Train
[Tails Workshop]
Tails was working on a new part for the Tornado for some benefit of flying while Sonic was getting the Computer started up. "Hey Tails, What's the Password Again?" Sonic shouted across the workshop so tails can hear the question.
"It's EGORAPTOR, All Caps!" Tails Shouted back to Sonic who then entered the password into the computer to log on, as Sonic opened skype to contact Sonia and Manic, Tails again shouted across the Room "Sonic, Echidna incoming!" at this time Sonic had hit the call button it was ringing the two as Knuckles busts though the Door making an entrance for himself. "The Echidna is here"
"Hey Knuckles" Tails greeted the Red Echidna knowing the attentions he likes to bring himself
"Hey Sonic" Two different voices came from the computer which got everyone's attention to the computer screen where it displayed a Pink/Purple hued female Hedgehog on the left and a Green male hedgehog on the other side of the screen and below was what the webcam on Tails computer was recording which was Sonic's face
"Hey guys" Sonic said into the computer "there have been massive events going on in Station Square right now, you guys need to come over and we'll catch up on stuff"
"That sound great bro, but I can hardly keep up my own rental payments here, lost my job thanks to Sonia's Poshy buying out the shop" Manic expressed annoyance towards his sister and frustration due to his lack of money and poverty
"Bartleby was using it to sell off his old treasures he accumulated years ago, if you wasn't so against everything he does maybe he would hire you!" Sonia hit back at her brother with the argument against his point of view on the incident
"Guys calm down, Bartlebutt has enough money to get all three of you here in the poshest of First class" Sonic settled the argument to get them to come to station square
"Fine, I will get him to get us tickets to Station square, Again we can only do two days" Sonia finalised the Conversation before hanging up on her end making Manic's part of the screen enlarge to cover the whole screen with Sonic in the corner.
"I can only hope, see you soon bro" Manic exited the conversation ending the call altogether
Sonic turned to see Tails and Knuckles frozen in place in shock on what has just occurred, "What's that all about then?" Knuckles asked Sonic breaking the silence between all three heroes
"Basically Knuckles, Manic is struggling with money since Sonia's 'Partner' has bought out the land to sell old Robotnik treasures, Sonia just can't seem to take in that Bartlebutt is still in a way working for Eggman but me and Manic do know" Sonic gave as an answer to the questioning Echidna
"Why don't us three head for a chilli dog?" which put a smile on the Hedgehog and Echidna's face as the three headed for the door
[Station Square Central Station]
Amy was walking alongside a now wide awake Code Red near to the Train Station and was telling him the stories of her adventure around the area while being chased by a robot the whole time, "Station Square Central Station, the quickest way to the Mystic ruins for people who cannot run as fast as us hedgehogs" Amy informs Code Red as they both look at the stairs that lead towards the train platform where a train had just arrived.
As Amy and Red were about to turn and continue to the casino to the left of the central staircase Amy spots a familiar Blue Hedgehog appearing around the corner with a Red Echidna following him with a Yellow fox hovering about the two, "hey guys"
"Hey Amy, Red good to see you're ok man"
"Thanks Sonic, Amy was just giving a history lesson about this place" Code Red informed Sonic
"That's cool, mind joining us for a chilli dog?" Sonic asked both hedgehogs standing in front of him
"Sounds Great" Amy replied before turning to Code Red, "You've just got to try one"
And so the three became five as they all walked out of the station building and headed for a local chilli dog stand
{The Next Day} [Sonic and Tails' House]
"Wake Up Sonic!" Tails knocked on the Door to Sonic's room
"I'm Awake Tails" Sonic said while lying in bed not caring about what was happening until he remembers what he was doing today, "Oh Man, I'm going to be late"
Sonic quickly gets changed and meets tails in the kitchen where Amy and Cream are talking to Tails, Knuckles spots Sonic in the corner of him room and gives him a wink knowing what was happening today
"Hey Sonic, what time are they arriving" Amy asks Sonic
Sonic looks at the clock and then gives Amy the answer, "In about 45 minutes, their train should be leaving Robotropolis now" and on que Sonic's Phone rings.
{On Phone}
"Manic, Everything alright" Sonic Asks his Brother
"Would be bro, but Bartlebutt didn't get me a ticket and I'm stuck here in Robotropolis while he and Sonic travel in First Class, I unfortunately can't come over to see you now, we'll talk over skype on what's been happening" Manic announces to Sonic in regret
"Don't Worry Manic, I'll get Tails to fly you over, better than first Class bro, and you will even get here before Sonia and Bartlebutt" Sonic Reassures his distressed Bother
"Thanks Bro, see you then" Manic happily replies to his brother before hanging up
{End of Call}
"Tails, Little mission for You" Sonic turns towards the Fox who was already prepping himself up for flight
"We heard you Sonic, I'm on my way" Tails says to Sonic before heading towards the Hanger where the Tornado was waiting
"What's happened Sonic?" Knuckles asks Sonic who looks between concerned and angry
"Bartleby has left Manic out of this trip, I tell you I cannot understand why Sonia puts up with that poshy" Sonic expressed to Knuckles showing his annoyance for Bartleby and concern for Manic
"Why does Manic hate Bartleby then Sonic?" Amy gets her question in showing sadness for Sonic's family
"Bartleby is one of Eggman's funders, so he technically works for and praises Egghead" Sonic Explains to the whole group the bad portion of Bartleby
[20 minutes later, Station Square]
Sonic and Amy were walking close to the Station Square shopping centre casually talking about things relating to recent events when both hedgehogs hear the sound of the Tornado approaching Station Square and Sonic knew that Manic was on it as his medallion which he was wearing on his neck started to illuminate in a green hue showing that Manic was close to them, this was evidenced when Tails and the Tornado Landed nearby and Manic jumped off to greet his bother.
"Hey bro, thanks for that" Manic thanked his brother for getting tails to help him out.
"No problem bro, see you are here before Sonia" Sonic welcomed him brother
"And Amy, how are you doing?" Manic turned his attention to Amy who was standing next to Sonic
"I'm good, it's good to see you again Manic" Amy Greeted Manic into Station Square.
"It's still a good 20 minutes before Sonia gets here still" Sonic reassured Manic as the three walked back towards the main centre of Station square
[Station Square Central Park]
"Man, These Chilli Dogs are just the best" Manic expresses while eating his chilidog that Sonic had bought him
"Well, Station Square is full of great places" Amy explains to Manic
While the 3 hedgehogs were sat by a tree enjoying the view and scenery of Station Square while chowing down on their chilidogs with Sonic explaining to Manic about their adventure to space. And on que Code Red appears in the park.
"Speak of the devil Sonic, look who's over there" Amy points out as the Red hedgehog approaches the three under the tree
"And this is the hero that saved the entire Mobian Race" Sonic tells Manic while showing Code Red who had arrived to see the three
"Alright Guys" Code Red welcomed himself to the gang
"Alright Red" Sonic and Amy replied to the hedgehog
"Who's this then?" Code Red asked Sonic and Amy about Manic
"This is my Brother, Manic the Hedgehog" Sonic Answered the question introducing the two
[20 minutes later, Station Square Central Station]
Sonic, Amy and Manic waited at the bottom of the stairs of the arrival of Sonic's sister and her 'partner' who were due into Station Square around the time
"So what your saying is Bartleby completely left you out and booked for himself and Sonia on a trip you need to come on" Amy asked Manic for more details on the incident
"That's right, Bartlebutt is completely against me on all odds, he even knew that I worked at that shop before buying it out for his own profit, then he goes and books the best for him and Sonia and leaves me out on the trip to see my brother, good thing Tails knows how to fly otherwise I wouldn't be here to throw it in his face" Manic explained to Amy his grudge against Bartleby
"Well get ready, there here" Sonic said as the train pull into the station and the Hedgehog and Mink exit the train and head down the stairs to greet Sonic who is standing next to a annoyed Green Hedgehog of Manic.
"Well, this is a surprise" Bartleby said as he saw Manic with a face that said 'bet you didn't expect this'
"You can't get rid of me Bartlebutt, I'm also Sonic's family, oh and by the way, I beat you" Manic replied back to Bartleby who had his arm around Sonia who looked confused to see Manic after being told that he was on the other cartridge who will alight the train after the first class
"Ok, we'll keep the tension down for now and lets head out somewhere and catch-up on each other's life's" Amy stood her ground to avoid a brawl starting between the Hedgehog and Mink and escorted the gang out of the station while thinking to herself "this won't be easy"
