Reala returned to Wizeman's lair having just retreated from his battle with the Chronicles in the previous.
"Ah, Reala." Wizeman greeted Reala. "What news do you bring me?"
"My deepest regrets, Master Wizeman." Reala apologized in fear of what Wizeman will do to him. "But I've failed you."
"WHAAAATT?!" Wizeman roared in anger. "WHERE IS NIGHTS?!"
"I can explain... You see, the boy-" Reala tried to explained.
"Be silent!" Wizeman cut off Reala.
"Yes, Master..." Reala obeyed until he tried to plead for a second chance. "But please, Master, give me one more chance."
Wizeman thought about it. "Very well..." He finally told Reala. "One last chance... But you shall not fail!"
Reala let out an evil laugh. "Oh, don't worry, Master Wizeman. I already know what to do."
"Now go!" Wizeman commanded Reala directing him to his designation. "And do not return here without Nights...or else..."
Don't worry, sire." Reala assured Wizeman taking out a Chaos Emerald. "My plan is foolproof." Reala stared at the Chaos Emerald in his hand having full confidence over his latest plan.
We then cut to where the previous episode left off as Tyler and the other Chronicles were left in confusion to what Reala said before he escaped.
"What did Reala mean by 'the war is just starting'?" Tyler wondered.
"Not sure." Sonic replied. "But- Hey, look! A Chaos Emerald!"
"A Chaos Emerald? Out here in the open?" Tyler asked looking where Sonic was pointing at.
As Sonic stated, there was a Chaos Emerald floating midair in a distance.
"You think it's easily a trap, too, don't ya?" Sonic asked Tyler.
"Yep." Tyler answered.
"Wow, I gotta admit. For a minion of an all-powerful dream entity, this is pretty sad, even for him." Sonic commented on how obvious the trap is set.
"Of course, it would...for an amatuer." Reala's voice said.
Sonic and Tyler were then caught offguard as a large cage fell from above trapping only Sonic.
Reala laughed at his trickery.
"Release Sonic, Reala!" Tyler demanded.
"Well, I'll admit it's not my dear brother, Nights, but you'll have to do. Farewell, Chronicles." Reala said warping out of there with Sonic.
"Now what do we do?" Tyler said.
Well, who could have seen that coming?
Seems the trap was meant for Nights, but what does Wizeman plan to do with our favorite blue blur?
