Outside of Freedom HQ, Sonic is making a sparring match before going back to New Mobotropolis for the plans. He has decided to have Bunnie choose on who should be paired with each other. It's a 2-on-2 sparring match.

"Ah think Ah got the pairings. Amy, you paired with Sally-Girl. Tails, you paired with Sonic," said the now organic rabbit.

The four fighters make their stances. Amy and Mecha Sally versus Sonic and Tails. They all have smiles on their faces.

"Begin!" exclaimed Bunnie.

The first attempt shows Amy makes a punch to Sonic by the left side of his face and hitting him by his stomach with her elbow while Sally punches Tails by the right side of his face and kicking him by his stomach. Next, they hold their hands as they switched places on who to beat next. The second attempt shows Sally makes quite a punch at Sonic by the right side of his face while Amy throws Tails and punching him in the left side of his face. The two boys fell to the floor in defeat. They can't believe they got themselves beaten up by two girls: one who is organic and the other who is robotic.

Sally grabs on to Sonic's hand to help him get up.

"Sonic, are you okay?" her voice sounded concern.

"I'm okay, Sal," he replied back and looking hurt.

"I hope I didn't hurt you and Tails with that strength in this form," she looks down.

"Don't worry about that, Aunt Sally. Sonic and I can take it," Tails reassured even though he feels a little pain.

Inside the headquarters, it's time for the preparations for the next part of the plan to fix everything. Sonic explains while Tails, Amy, Sally, Bunnie, and T-Pup sit down and listen.

"Now that Sal is back and Eggman is dead, let's move on to another primary objective: stopping Naugus. Not only that, turning Sal back to normal."

"But how can we do the latter?" Sally raises the question.

"Well, I got this great idea," Amy stands up as she brings up her flowchart and puts it to a wall. As the Robian squirrel sees that, she stands up and looks amazed. "What do you think about this chart, Sally?"

"That's great, Amy. Very great, but you don't need to put something like that just to hang out with me."

"If you needed cheering up from being the way you are, here it is. Now, ask me a question and I'll find a possibility."

"Okay, how can I clean up myself?" Sally asked.

Amy pointed out to a picture of her friend looking dirty, then she traces it down to a line where there's a picture of her cleaning her up with a cloth.

"Well, I decided to clean you up with a cloth," was she said.

"That's very cute. Now, how about changing me back?"

As Amy looked at her chart, it has three possibilities. Two are drawn, while the other is not yet drawn.

"Well, I suggest of using the De-Roboticizer, but it could be lethal. What's more is that the Bem are not around," she pointed to a blank square. In fact, that is the first possibility. "Now, we move on to the second possibility: Naugus. We should have him zap you. Besides, is there any other choice?"

Sonic and friends think of that question.

"That could be a start. But, how can we lure him?"

As all of them think about his question, Mecha Sally is the first to get an idea.

"I know. Remember the time Sir Charles pretended to be under Robotnik's control."

"Yeah, so what?" Sonic didn't get the idea, then realizes it. "Oh, I get it."

"Exactly, we'll just have to lure him to a cave. When he sees me, I'll make it look like I was under Eggman's control and about to attack Sonic," the squirrel explained her idea.

"Okay, let's go with that," Sonic quickly agrees. "Where do we lure him?"

"To a cave."

"And I decided to let Naugus come to us," Amy suggested.


"Do you really have that put that hood on?" Sonic asks in concern upon seeing Sally putting on her coat and hood.

"Well, do you think it's a good idea to immediately show myself after all I had done under Eggman's control? I think I'll show myself in the right time," was her reply.

They take a walk around New Mobotropolis as they look at the people. They seemed to be puzzled on the two of them.

"Anyway, I'm showing myself tonight at Mina's concert," Sally whispered at Sonic's ear.

"Fair enough," he muttered.

Suddenly, she ended up bumping into someone. As she takes a look at who it was, it's none other than Silver the Hedgehog, another one of the Secret Freedom Fighters. As he looked at her, he looks shock.

"Silver, what are you doing here?" Sally asked.

"Looking for the traitor, that's who," was his reply then focuses on Sonic before walking away. "Just keep an eye on her, would you?"

"What was that all about?" the squirrel asked.

"Trouble," the blue hedgehog replied in concern.


Inside the Military HQ, Amy goes inside to tell the council that Naugus is needed because there's trouble ahead to them. What they didn't know is that she called the evil wizard just for him to turn Sally back to normal.

"I'm sorry, Amy, but my master is ill so he can't do anything at this moment. Therefore, you and Team Fighters should do that task you're going to accomplish," Naugus' apprentice, Geoffrey, suddenly appears to explain in concern.

Amy gets a suspicious feeling about this, but she suddenly accepts the statement.

"I see. Well, I'll be going," she heads to the door.

"Wait, why do you need him?" he asked as he puts his hand in a form of a stop sign.

"That's something you wouldn't understand, Geoff," Amy retorted as she is about to leave. As she left, she happens to take notice of Geoffrey has his eyes become from blue to red. This event really got her suspicions arising.


Meanwhile, Sonic and Mecha Sally are in a cave as they prepare to let Naugus zap the latter to turn her back to normal. Tails, Bunnie, and T-Pup are also present.

"Now here's the deal, you just act like you're in my mercy," the latter suggested as she points her energy blades at the former.

"Yeah, I'm down with that."

Just then, Amy showed up as she is running so fast that she tries to catch her breath.

"Amy, where's Naugus?" Sonic asked.

"Well, he's not feeling well, and what's more is that his apprentice, Geoffrey, has red eyes."

"Red eyes? Is that what I think it was?" Sally has suspicions on the matter. It could have mean one thing. "No, it couldn't be..."

"So, you found trouble, Sonic?" Amy is also in concern if there's another matter in concern.

Sonic replied, "Well, there's Silver. When he saw Sally, he told me to keep a close eye on her. I don't know what was that about, but I got a feeling that he might mistake her for the traitor of the Freedom Fighters. I already told him there is no traitor."

"It looks like we got two matters," Bunnie remarked.

"That means we should split up. Amy, Sal, you two see what is going with St. John while Tails and I are keeping an eye on Silver," Sonic tells the plan.

"What about me?"

"Well, Bunnie, you and T-Pup should stay in Freedom HQ to see if there's some more matter to attend to," was his reply. Bunnie nodded and left the cave with T-Pup.


Amy and Mecha Sally made their way to the building where Naugus has taken up residence. They hide in the bushes to see Geoffrey is out of the place as he is about to take a fresh air.

"What's he doing outside?"

"I don't know, but I bet that's trouble."


At the same time, Sonic and Tails are following Silver as they use a big bush to hide for cover. The white hedgehog is suspicious of this so he looked from behind, but the two stopped. Having doubts, he started to make a tiptoes to see if the bush is following him. As he tries to outrun it, Sonic and Tails kept on following him.

Eventually, he lost them when he jumps up to the sky unnoticed.


The two girls themselves are following Geoffrey sitting in a bench by himself.

"Darn that pink hedgehog! Well, I just have to find out what kind of trouble she and Team Fighters are carrying this time or my name isn't Ixis Naugus!"

As he said the line, Amy and Sally now have realized the answer.

"Just as I thought. Naugus has possessed Geoff," the latter said. "It must be because he said the contract with him when he pledged allegiance to him."

"No wonder he said his 'master' is ill," the former added.

"Now we have tell Sonic about this."


Meanwhile, the two boys are sneaking to a wall to see Silver landing and talking to Director Harvey Who, the founder of the Secret Freedom Fighters.

"So you found her," the latter said.

"Yeah, I did," the former replied back. "How do I know it's really herself?"

"Well, check out your timeline to see if your future is doing good," was the reply. "There's no need to make a mark out of her."

"I'll do that."

"Well, that's good news," Tails remarked.

"I think we'll just leave that matter alone," Sonic added.


The four went Amy's house to discuss on what is going on.

"So, what did you two found out about Silver?" Mecha Sally first asked.

"Well, he decided to check out his future to see if it's already good. Anyway, he should rest the 'traitor of the Freedom Fighters' matter. Now, what about St. John?" Sonic replied before asking next.

"He's possessed by Naugus," Amy replied.

Just then, a knock came on the door. As Amy answered it, no one is there but she did find a letter.

Hey, I need your help. If you want to know what is it about, meet me at Feral Forest. Signed Anonymous it said.

"Well, should we all go?" Sonic asked.

"Yeah, we should," Tails replied.

"We should have Bunnie and T-Pup come along."

Team Fighters have decided to follow the letter's instruction as they headed there.
