| - Sonic, Tails and Uncle Chuck watch as the Royal Guards pack up Nate Morgan's belongings. Sonic wonders if it's not too late to save him, but Chuck assumes that, by staying in Robotropolis, Nate has probably become a robot. Sonic agrees, but has an idea on how to save him anyway. In Robotropolis, Lady Agnes persuades Colin Kintobor to listen to Hope. Hope tells him that she thinks that Uncle Julian created the robotic animals that fled the city. Colin tells her she's being absurd when Dr. Eggman enters with Snively and tells them she got it right. Sonic arrives at Castle Acorn asking to see Prince Elias. Elsewhere in the castle, King Max and Queen Alicia look at a portrait of Elias, Max blaming himself for Elias running away. One of the royal guards tells King Max that Sonic, Tails and Sir Charles wish to see him. Back in Robotropolis, Eggman announces to the Overlanders that they are all suffering from toxic waste poisoning and that they will die without treatment. Colin, shocked by the news, asks if Julian is affected as well. Eggman reveals that he is actually a machine and that with just one touch he can roboticize them, making them immune to the poison. Lady Agnes tells Eggman that he's insane, so the doctor calls his Shadowbots to force the Overlanders to convert. Colin asks Snively why he would betray them, but Snively just thinks of it as revenge for being under-appreciated. Colin punches Robotnik in rage, instantly becoming roboticized into a metal statue. Lady Agnes is horrified and tells Hope to run away. Meanwhile, Chuck tells the king that Robotnik can now roboticize by touch. Sonic asks if the Sword of Acorns can restore Nate's free will, and Max believes it could, but only he and Sally could wield it. Sally enters saying she can do it, but the king rejects the idea, fearing her safety. Sally reasons with him that if she was trusted in the first place Elias might not have run away, and Max reluctantly accepts her request on the condition that Sonic escorts her. Outside, Sonic congratulates Sally standing up to her father, but Sally is distracted. Sonic asks if he's done something wrong, when Mina runs to hug Sally and thanks her for freeing her mother before zipping away. Hope runs through the streets of Robotropolis while Eggman tries to goad her to come back through the city's televisions and speakers. He eventually promises to spare her grandmother, Lady Agnes, if she cooperates. Lady Agnes shouts out to Hope, begging her not to come, but Hope decides she can't leave her grandmother in danger. Eggman roboticizes Agnes, televising it through the city's screens for Hope to watch, as Shadowbots surround Hope. Sonic appears and destroys the Shadowbots while Sally tends to Hope. Eggman wonders where Sonic disappeared to when he finds the hedgehog standing right behind him. He boasts that, since Sonic can't touch him, he's invincible. Sonic runs around fast enough that the floor beneath him crumbles, dropping him down below. Snively sneaks behind Sonic and kicks him down the hole as well. Sonic is shocked to find Nate as a roboticized statue along with Colin, Agnes, and Cheddermund. Sally and Hope show up with a number of Overlander refugees. Sally tries to restore the roboticized overslanders' free will, but they don't respond to the Sword of Acorns. Eggman laughs at their failure and tells everyone that it's their last chance to join him. He tells Snively that he's been poisoned as well and offers to roboticize him. Snively tells him that he won't be able to move, but Eggman reveals that the secret to retaining free will when roboticized is to want the roboticization. Eggman and Snively shake hands, and Snively is robotcized. Eggman offers the Overlands the chance to be roboticized one last time, but Sonic, Sally, and Hope tell them that Eggman knew they would be poisoned and only wants to control them. Sonic, Sally, Hope, and the Overlanders leave Robotropolis. Eggman doesn't try to stop them, insisting that it would be better to watch them suffer.
