Following the battle with Infinite, Sonic and Silver need time to heal their wounds. However, Eggman's forces attack the city, and with civilians at risk Knuckles reluctantly sends the rookie out on a rescue mission. Much to the surprise of the Resistance, the rookie comes through and the mission is a success.

Meanwhile, Tails and Classic Sonic make their way towards the Mystic Jungle in search of Sonic, and have to get through the fun Casino Forest. Along the way, the Resistance security systems detect the pair, but since Rouge can't identify them, Knuckles sends the rookie out to investigate.

Once the rookie meets up with Tails and Classic Sonic, the trio return to Restoration HQ, and the young fox quickly reveals Eggman's plan to the team. Before discussing the situation further, Vector informs the team that Shadow is attacking the city, and so Sonic rushes off to find the faker and get some answers.

Once the fake Shadow is defeated, Knuckles decides on an all-out attack on Metropolis. However, Infinite soon arrives and activates the Phantom Ruby, resulting in the attack to be thwarted. The rookie is left alone to confront Infinite once again, but this time he refuses to run away in fear...

00:00Eggman's army has broken through! They're in the city! We need to get these people out
00:07of here!
00:08Who can we send? Sonic and Silver need time to heal. We've engaged enemy forces at Seaside
00:13Hill. We can't spare anyone.
00:15This is the 8th unit! We're pinned down under heavy enemy fire!
00:20Man, looks like I've got no choice. Okay, rookie, I've got a tough one for you. I need
00:26you to head back to the city and save those civilians.
00:31I need a status update on the people who couldn't evacuate in time.
00:37Espio here. We're engaging enemy forces. We can't search for civilians right now.
00:42The fighting is too fierce for us to help out as well.
00:44Sounds like you're our only hope, rookie. The rescue is in your hands.
00:49Those are Death Egg robots! They're more or less reduced now?
01:02Oh, this ain't good. Might be too much for the rookie to handle.
01:06Still, we can't just ignore them. You got this, right rookie?
01:13Burst!
01:20Nice work. A fine display of skill.
01:23Wow, you really showed him who's boss!
01:26Come on! How am I gonna top that?
01:29Burst! Burst! Burst! Burst! Burst! Burst!
01:36We've broken through enemy lines. The rescue is underway.
01:40We secured an escape route, so there's a safe way out.
01:43Thanks to the rookie, things are turning around. Let's keep this momentum going.

04:50Too easy! Piece of cake!
05:13Got it!
05:19Heh!
05:28Die!
05:38Today is my day! Yes!
05:50The system is picking up a couple of strange readings.
05:53They're coming from the laboratory. The one where Sonic fought Infinite.
05:58It's probably another of Eggman's robots.
06:01Life readings. Two of them. Definitely not robots.
06:06Hey rookie! Go to the lab and check it out!
06:12We've picked up the two life readings near the lab up ahead.
06:15They aren't robots. What are they?
06:17They're enemies. Taking them both on might be a big ask for the rookie.
06:28Watch out! The current is pretty strong.
06:31This place is enough to make anyone dizzy. It might be better just to go with the flow.
06:47We're never giving up!
07:01They sure went to a lot of trouble to make this lab hard to find.
07:04They must be doing experiments they don't want people to know about.
07:11Lightning!
07:15Lightning!
07:18Well, look at you, rookie! Having fun in the water?
07:22What? Jealous you can't play on the slide, Knuckles?
07:25This is no time to lose focus, that's all.
07:28Be sure to give it all you got, rookie!
07:41The readings are really close now. Reinforcements will arrive soon.
07:44So meet up with them!
07:47You see?
08:14Hey, hey, hey!
08:17Have we met before?
08:19Sonic!
08:20Tails!
08:22I was so worried! I thought you were...
08:25You worry too much. Look, I'm perfectly fine.
08:28It's been generations since I've seen you. You okay?
08:31Yeah!
08:33The good news is you're safe.
08:35The bad news is Eggman said he had some plan that will destroy us all in three days.
08:41Three days, huh? Well, a lot can happen in that time.
08:48Eggman said when the plan is completed, we'll all be wiped out!
08:52I don't like the sound of that. Normally, I just laugh at an Eggman plan.
08:57He's already conquered most of the world, so...
09:00What's this plan of his?
09:02Hey, I hate to butt in on your important meeting, but we're under attack!
09:06We're under attack!
09:08We're under attack!
09:09We're under attack!
09:10We're under attack!
09:11We're under attack!
09:12We're under attack!
09:13We're under attack!
09:14We're under attack!
09:15I hate to butt in on your important meeting, but we're under attack!
09:18Shadow is tearing through our troops! We need reinforcements!
09:22Shadow? The last time I saw him, he was fighting for Eggman!
09:26That doesn't make sense. Why would Shadow help the enemy?
09:30Perhaps he's being controlled by that strange power.
09:34Whatever it is, I'll figure it out!
09:39Let's do this!
09:41Let's do this!
09:44Boost pads are awesome!
09:45What the heck? A whole army of Death Egg robots?
09:49Oh no! There are so many of them!
09:52Hurry, Sonic! We can keep them in check, but not prolong!
09:56That'll work! I'll find Shadow and be back in no time!
10:01Yeah!
10:03This many Death Egg robots?
10:05Oh, come on! Seriously?
10:07I'm not one to complain, but that's a lot, right?
10:10Way more than we can reasonably take on!
10:14Bye-bye!
10:15Listen up! Shadow has been sighted!
10:18Apparently, he's traveling above the city at high speed!
10:27Bouncy, bouncy!
10:36Sonic!
10:44Coming through!
10:49The last sighting was just up ahead! Be careful, Sonic!
10:55Found you, faker!
10:57You are no match for me!
11:06To Be Continued...
11:12All right, Shadow. What's the deal?
11:18Chaos Control!
11:23Another Shadow?
11:28He just disappeared!
11:30That was a fake.
11:31A fake? How?
11:34Infinite can create virtual reality projections.
11:38They have mass and form, but no heart and soul.
11:42Virtual reality?
11:44So all those familiar faces that were part of Eggman's army...
11:47Replicas.
11:49The problem is, they may not be real,
11:52but their powers are as formidable as the originals'.
11:55According to Rouge, Infinite can create unlimited numbers of them.
12:00So fight after fight, he can just keep cranking out counterfeits?
12:04Exactly. As it stands, there's no way we can win this.
12:09Of course we can win this! We always do!
12:11We just haven't figured that part out yet.
12:17Listen up!
12:18We just got word that Eggman's forces are under manned at his headquarters in Metropolis.
12:23They're probably staging somewhere else as part of Eggman's plan.
12:26This could be our only chance to take the city.
12:29Exactly. That's why we're focusing on a full frontal assault on Metropolis.
12:35I'm calling it Operation Big Wave.
12:38Who cares what it's called?
12:40What's important is to have a well thought out strategy.
12:43I thought up this strategy in about a minute and a half.
12:46We're going in hard and fast,
12:48and we're not going to stop till Eggman's army is destroyed.
12:52Sonic is busy fighting Shadow, but the rest of us can do this.
12:56We've got the strength and the spirit to win.
12:59There's no finer group that I'd want to fight with.
13:02Ha! Great speech!
13:04Let's give Eggman an old-fashioned beatdown.
13:07We have more in sheer numbers, so the idea of a quick, focused attack isn't bad.
13:12We also have Sonic, I mean the other Sonic, so I have no doubt we can do this.
13:18Also, if we can destroy the Phantom Ruby, we should be able to send the other Sonic home.
13:24At least I hope so. This is all new territory for me.
13:27Okay, let's head straight for Eggman's HQ.
13:31Time to save the world, people!
13:39All right, time for Operation Big Wave.
13:42We'll surge forward and sweep the enemy away.
13:45Now I'm sure.
13:47What can that rival do with an all-out attack?
13:50I'll smash them to smithereens!
13:53Infinite! Activate the Phantom Ruby!
14:07Thank the wish I've never been born!
14:10Stay calm. What you're seeing is real.
14:13It's no use. Our troops are scattering in the confusion.
14:17This is bad! Our forces were all gathered together, and now they're plunged into chaos!
14:25Lightning!
14:31Lightning!
14:34Lightning!
14:47This is Eagle Squad! We're caught in enemy crossfire!
14:50Snake Squad requesting reinforcements!
14:52This is Fox Squad! We can't hold out much more!
14:5580% of our forces have been wiped out, and we've lost contact with the rest!
15:00One flip of the Phantom Ruby switch and everything falls apart on us!
15:04The rookie is our only hope now.
15:07We can't go on like this!
15:09As much as it pains me to say it, the best we can do now is to live to fight another day.
15:14Go for it!
15:19Lightning!
15:37Our big wave has washed out!
15:40We haven't lost! Let's fall back and regroup!
15:43Lightning!
15:44Lightning!
15:45Lightning!
15:46Lightning!
15:47Lightning!
15:48Lightning!
15:49Lightning!
16:01More ants to crush.
16:03I wonder if this world can offer me a real challenge.
16:08And as if to answer, the world sends me a trembling child.
16:13Am I going to fight and die here, or run away in fear again?
16:21Hey, don't be scared! This is your moment to shine!
16:24Keep going! Don't let your fear own you!
16:28Fine. I will teach you fear, then pain, and then...
16:35Well, at least the fear and pain will end.
16:48You must be a straggler, Outlander.
16:51The strong will always vanquish the weak.
16:55You have only your own frailty to blame.
17:12Well, well. It seems behind that fear is a spark of defiance.
17:17And those eyes... I feel like we've met before.
17:22Asteroid!
17:26You've put up quite a fight.
17:28I underestimated just how desperately the feeble cling to life.
17:56I remember you. You ran from me before.
18:01You survived then, but you throw it all away now.
18:06Kill me now. This will be goodbye.
18:15What? How is this possible? It can't be.
18:19How did you...
18:26No matter. They have only two days left.
18:30Let them contemplate the inevitable until I end this once and for all.
