| - Fort Acorn is under attack by the Iron King. Amadeus Prower directs the Mes Braves Battalion to target him with lasers, but the giant ox is unfazed. Smashing through the fort's defenses and soldiers, he boasts of his immense power against them. Meanwhile, in New Mobotropolis, Sally finishes telling Monkey Khan about what has been going on since he and the Freedom Fighters last fought side by side against the Xorda. Khan expresses admiration for the fact that the Knothole Freedom Fighters have remained together for so long, though Sally brings up her failed relationship with Sonic. Taking blame for the breakup, she is surprised as Khan offers words of encouragement and comfort, as well as praise of her ability to hold her teammates together. The two share a tender moment, only for NICOLE to interrupt with word of the Iron King's attack. At first worried that she's broken in on something (before Sally saying it's all right), she then explains the situation and reveals that she has sent Sonic and Tails to rescue the beleaguered troops. Khan then speeds off to join them, while Sally watches him go. NICOLE asks Sally if she's all right, to which she answers that she has a lot of thinking to do... Back at Fort Acorn, Amadeus attacks the Iron King with his sword, determined not to disgrace the memory of his late comrade Armand D'Coolette, but his sword breaks against the ox's armor, and the Iron King grabs him with contempt, preparing to finish him off. Sonic then spindashes into the Iron King, saving Amadeus and telling him Tails is evacuating the rest of the troops from the mostly destroyed fort. While inside the carrier, Amadeus is surprised to see Tails behind the helm, being able to control and fly it so easily. When Tails asks if he is okay he admits he's is very impressed and proud of him. Sonic tries to bury the Iron King into the ground to keep him still while he comes up with a plan. The Iron King breaks free, catching Sonic off guard, however, Monkey Khan arrives on the scene and the two trade insults while Sonic sits bored in the background. Meanwhile, Sally goes to visit Bunnie D'Coolette at her home. Antoine D'Coolette is there to greet her. Sally then asks if she was interrupting anything but Bunnie states that Antoine was just getting them lunch. Antoine asks if Bunnie will be alright on her own, of which Bunnie reasssures him she will. While Sally pushes him into the kitchen, Antoine says he won't take too long. Sally then admits to Bunnie that she is starting to fall for someone else, but still has concerns for the whole thing. Bunnie reassures her that both her and Sonic have moved on and that dating again wouldn't be a bad thing, explaining that she knows the kind of guy she likes and that she would probably make the right decision. Sally thanks her, stating that Bunnie does truly know her. Sonic and Monkey Khan struggle fighting with the Iron King, unable to put a dent in him. Once they escape his clutches he goes forth and starts trying to smash the protective dome. Sonic thinks of an idea, getting Monkey Khan to distract the Iron King while he contacts NICOLE and gets her to rewire the power siphon for the city underground. Sonic then tricks the Iron King to smash the empty shell while they make their escape before he realizes the trick. Back in New Mobotropolis, the two congratulate each other for their small victory with Sally nearby. Sally approaches Monkey Khan and asks if they could talk. Sonic is surprised by this but his attention is short-lived as he is intercepted by Amy Rose, who asks if she could listen to his latest adventure over dinner. Sonic glances back at Monkey Khan and Sally walking away before accepting Amy's invitation.
