The team was subsequently separated as Amy disappeared, while Sonic and Tails were assigned to rescue King Acorn from Walter Naugus. Sonic retained his memories of the original reality, and Tails regained his after contact with NICOLE, who suggested that they seek out the other Freedom Fighters to get to the bottom of the matter. Having rescued King Acorn, the pair set out to locate their missing teammates. They soon found Rotor in the Mystic Ruins area, hard at work on their new Sky Patrol base, and restored his memories by having him hold NICOLE. He then informed them as to the last known whereabouts of the other Freedom Fighters, noting that Amy had vanished mysteriously. (StH: #252, #253)
