Meanwhile, in the Station Square Hotel, Sonic tells the Freedom Fighters that Chaos has been defeated and apologizes to Tails for losing the Tornado in the process. Nate Morgan informs Sonic that the Tornado was equipped with a tracer and hands him a device that can locate the bi-plane. Sonic and Tails head out to find their plane.
