Tired from constant work and desiring an easy life, Drago turned traitor and joined Robotnik. Through abuse, Drago convinced his former girlfriend Hershey to go into Robotropolis wearing a Sonic suit claiming that he had "valuable information" on how to stop Robotnik's nephew, Snively, once and for all. Unbeknownst to Hershey, the suit contained an optical device that caused her to believe that anyone she saw was Snively. Because of this, Hershey nearly killed Sally, believing all the while that she was killing Snively.
