| - As the Knothole Freedom Fighters and the Substitute Freedom Fighters, amongst others, investigate the ruins of Robotropolis, Hamlin Pig alerts Sally Acorn to an incoming aircraft. Antoine D'Coolette suggests that Sally stay behind him and Bunnie Rabbot for safety, which Sally dismisses, particularly upon recognizing the new arrivals: Sir Knuckles the Echidna in a Dark Legion saucer, accompanied by his new ally Julie-Su. After being introduced-and finding out that the two, while initially in conflict, discovered that they had certain things in common-Sally questions whether or not they're in a relationship, which the pair quickly deny. Sally then informs Knuckles that they have important business to discuss-namely, the results of his recent quest to find the Sword of Acorns. Though Knuckles was thought to have been successful, the Sword was briefly thought to be unnecessary when her father, Maximillian Acorn, apparently recovered on his own. In truth, he had been replaced by an Auto Automaton; upon discovering this, Sally had attempted to use the Sword to cure his crystalline affliction, only for it to fail. Rotor Walrus was then able to determine that the Sword they had been given was a forgery, and Sally had determined to set out to find the true sword herself. However, with her duties in the reclaimed Mobotropolis, Sally had determined that she would be unable to, and so had requested that Knuckles come to see if he would be willing to resume his quest. Knuckles regrettably declined, having responsibilities of his own: namely, the return of Echidnaopolis to Angel Island following the activation of the Ultimate Annihilator. Indeed, he reveals that the only reason he responded to her summons was to get away and try and sort things out, to which Sally responded that Sonic was going through similar difficulties, and suggested that Antoine take him to see the Hedgehog so that the two of them could speak. Leaving Julie-Su to go off with the rest of the Freedom Fighters, Knuckles and Antoine went to see Sonic, who was actually happy to see Knuckles. After thanking the Echidna for his help in the recent final battle with Dr. Robotnik, the two shake hands, only to be interrupted by a voice calling "Maurice." Groaning, Sonic is embarrassed by the arrival of his father Jules, who is addressing Sonic by the name Maurice. Antoine is highly amused, and Knuckles confused, while Jules responds that Maurice is actually his middle name, but is cut off by an irate Sonic before he can reveal his son's given first name. The younger Hedgehog asserts that his "name is Sonic-PERIOD!", while Antoine goes running off to tell everybody else. Sonic chases him off, while Knuckles inquires if Jules is indeed Sonic's father, to which Jules responds yes, though Sonic doesn't see to treat him like it. Knuckles expresses his understanding, due to having problems with his own parents, and the pair walk off together with Jules offering Knuckles some sage wisdom while leading him off to dinner.
