As Tails wraps up another day's crime fighting in Metropolis Zone, he is annoyed that he still isn't being as widely acknowledged as Sonic. As if on cue, a portal to the Nameless Zone opens, and Tails enters after a moment's hesitation to find Morain Blackthorn battling thirty goblin soldiers. Tails grabs Morain and flies her out of the building, leaving the goblins to report to their chief, and soon returns her to the village, where she introduces him to her new allies, Pippa and Trent. The resistance group begin going over their plan to stop the goblins' new steam train from running and swarming the Nameless Zone with even more goblins, while one of the goblins reports Tails' arrival to his chief, Errol Blackthorn.
