Agent X has come a long way but has finally reached his destination of Trituna, a city under the ocean. In his submarine, he speaks to Trouty about a message from Doctor Robotnik, leading the fish to go and fetch their Zone Leader, Sharka Khan. Immediately, Khan comes over, eager to not miss the start of Kippernation Street. Agent X proposes a deal; if the people of Trituna rise up and defeat Sonic the Hedgehog, Robotnik will grant them two surface Zones to live in once the tyrant comes back to power. Khan scoffs, knowing they cannot live out of the ocean, but X produces a potion which will give them all the power to breathe in air. Keen to live somewhere not so damp, Sharka Khan accepts.
