Sonic, lying on the ground and dressed up like Anti-Sonic, finds himself surrounded by Patch and the Anti-Freedom Fighters. While they take turns beating him up, Anti-Sonic hooks up with Rouge the Bat back on Mobius, promising to show her where to find the Chaos Emeralds on Angel Island. As they approach, Anti-Sonic clarifies that he's taking her to get a single, big Chaos Emerald - the Master Emerald. They spot Locke heading into the Chaos Chamber and devise a plan of action.
