Avalon, Hood's Castle
Eggman, Hood, A.D.A.M., Sleet and Dingo were standing on top of the castle, with the Egg Fleet over them.
"I've loaded each ship a robot design of my own," A.D.A.M. explained, getting a hologram of one on. "I call them, Egg SWATs. I designed them to be an upgrade to the Egg Pawns. Like Egg Pawns, these machines can survive any atmosphere and carry any weapon!"
"So what's the upgrade?" Eggman asked.
"Better armor, faster, has physical combat skills and has a built in teleporter gun!" A.D.A.M. explained.
"I assume it teleporters the Mobians the Egg Fleet's jail cells?" Hood asked.
"Correct," A.D.A.M. smiled. "I designed it to make you're secret weapon easier to use!"
"Wonderful!" Eggman laughed. "Now, as for Snively?"
"He was arrested by GUN!" Hood said. "The Dark Legion kicked him out their ship and GUN found him."
"Right," Eggman said. "Sleet, Dingo, I want you two to raid Prison Island and free my nephew!"
"What about the members of the Dark Legion who were captured?" Sleet asked.
"Them too!" Eggman said.
"Right away, sir," Sleet said, getting out a remote.
"I hate this part," Dingo said. Sleet shot him with the remote, turning Dingo into a helicopter and they flew.
"One thing about Egg SWATs," A.D.A.M. said. "I sent a bunch of them to Mobotropolis and ordered them to go into hiding and to use the cloaking device, the same one on your ships!"
Mobotropolis, Castle Acorn, Dining Room
Sonic, Sally, Tails, Naugus and a bunch of others were sat down, waiting. Elias ordered the Chaotix to find who helped the villains break out of their cells. Sleuth had told Blaze, Silver and Gold about Scourge's plan to kill the king. They tried to warn the king but he didn't want anything to do with them.
"We need to stop Scourge before he commits the crime!" Blaze said. Sonic and Sally walked up to them.
"What is Scourge doing?" Sonic asked.
"He's going to kill the king!" Silver said.
"Oh no!" Sally said. "Do you know when he's going to do it?"
"I heard he's planning to do this weekend!" Naugus said, reading the newspaper.
"And you're not warning my dad?" Sally asked.
"He doesn't need it," Naugus said. "St. John is here is giving him a tour round the city. He'll be there to defend our defenceless king!"
St. John walked in with a list.
"Sonic, please come with me," St. John said. Sonic walked with him.
Interrogation Room
It was a small room, with a table in the middle. Espio and Mighty were sitting on one side of the table, with a lone chair on the other side. There was a window to another room, next to a door leading to said room. Inside was Vector, Charmy and Ray. St. John stood by the door Sonic and him came through.
"Take a seat, hedgehog," Espio said. Sonic sat down. "Sonic, let's beginning. What were you doing around the time of the break out."
"I was asking Elias, Shadow and Rouge to take care of a problem back in Knothole!" Sonic said.
"Were you in the detention centre yesterday?" Mighty asked.
"Only to check if all the lock were done…"
"Aha!" Mighty yelled. "When he did that, he must have unlocked them all! Case close!"
"...after the breakout…" Sonic added.
"Case still open," Espio said. Sonic could see Vector facepalming, with Charmy and Ray laughing. "Thank you Sonic, no more questions." Sonic walked out as Blaze walked in.
"Hello! I think it's time for good cop/romantic cop." Mighty said, flipping the table so it changed to romantic dining table for two. Blaze sighed, as did Espio. "There have been rumors you are out of this world! Seeing you in person, tells me those rumors are true."
"If this some kind of pick up line to ask me on a date, I'm not interested." Blaze sighed.
"In the cells, did you see anyone mess with the locks?" Espio asked.
"There was so much happening in there, you hardly see anything!" Blaze said.
"I bet you need a rest after that mess!" Mighty said. "My place is always open!" Blaze scooted her chair away from Mighty.
"Did you at least see anyone holding a sword?" Espio said. Mighty was about to say something Espio covered up his mouth.
"No," Blaze simply said.
"Thank you Blaze, no more questions," Espio said. Blaze ran out of there before he finished the sentence. The others walked in.
"So what do we think?" Espio said. "Besides Mighty needing to get a restraining order."
"Hey!" Mighty yelled.
"Can't say for sure," Vector said. "We only have a few left so keep looking!"
Later
Naugus walked in.
"Right, Walter Naugus," Espio said. "You seem like you would have something to do with this!"
"How dare you!" Naugus yelled. "I can't even go anywhere near that place!"
"But maybe you used your magic and produced a sword spell!" Mighty said.
"No such thing as a sword spell." Naugus said. "Cutlass, now that's completely different."
"The locks weren't cut by a cutlass," St. John said. "It doesn't have the correct marks!"
"No, but it does of a ninja sword…" Espio said. He stood up! "Did you hire someone to free them?"
"What?" Naugus said. "No!"
"You're free to go!" Mighty said. Naugus and St. John walked out. Vector ran up to them.
"So?" Vector asked. "He was the last one!"
"Someone, we're not sure who," Espio said. "Hired someone from who was part of a clan who were rivals to my old clan. Uma Arachnis!"
