Meanwhile Sonic awakens in the middle of a beautiful forest on a huge bush
(which probably stopped his fall) and wonders what happened. He remembers
his journey to EggmanLand and how Metalla (some kind of japanese nickname
for Metal Sonic) hit him. He sure hopes that... - at this point the
sencence ends and we return to Knuckles and Tails who have reached the
headquarter with the damaged Tornado. Suddenly the fox jumps up and
screams because it just came to his mind that Ojisan was here all the time
- hopefully nothing happened to him. They enter the Boeing, and Tais
calls for the owl, but doesn't get a reply. Knuckles already suggests
that Ojisan isn't here anymore when the owl appears right behind them and
greets Tails.
The fox wants to know why Ojisan is wearing Sonic's belongings, and Ojisan
replies that Sonic himself gave them to him yesterday evening. Yesterday
evening? But that could have been only one: "Metalla!" Tails and Knuckles
blurt out in unison.
Meanwhile Eggman apologizes on Sera for his behavior, of which Sera still
reacts very annoyed, until the doctor presents her a dress. She can't
believe her eyes, and immediately laughs again (this girl really seems to
be pleased easily).
Back at Sonic's base, Tails has started to make some alterations in the
navigation device Eggman gave him. Knuckles asks why the fox is doing
this, and Tails explains that he is trying to adjust the device on Sonic's
brainwaves, and at the same time at Metalla's, since the robot not only
seems to have Sonic's abilities and speed, but also his personality - and
his 'heart'. Strictly speaking, the two are 'twins'. Knuckles doesn't
believe what he is hearing, but it's the only explanation why the robot
didn't kill Ojisan.
At the president's palace, the president is worried about the whereabouts
of his daughter, and is horrified about the pictures he gets from various
places of the city, and the image of a well-known person who wreaks havoc
there. Sonic is responsible for all this? It can't be. At once he gives
order to make contact Tails. Knuckles hears the signal and reacts pretty
indignant about it, since he is busy repairing the Tornado. Therefore
only Ojisan appears on the screen, dancing to the music from Sonic's
stereo, and the president wants to know what's going on here.
Knuckles pushes the owl to the side, and is then asked by the president
who he is. The echidna introduces himself as Knuckles, Sonic's friend
(IMHO "Tatchi" is a very colloquial word and is mostly used by the
japanese mafia, but oh well) and asks what the other one wants. The
president is a bit surprised about the rude stranger and Knuckles only
learns from Ojisan's interruption that he is actually talking to the
president.
