Sonic is taking an unconscious Scourge to the No Zone prison via the Cosmic Interstate. During this, Sonic thinks back to the last times he went on the interstate and the first time he met Zonic the Zone Cop and is eager to see why he hasn't been doing his job. Scourge then comes to and breaks loose from Sonic. Scourge tricks his counterpart into breaking his handcuffs by using Sonic's spin dash attack. Just as the real battle begins, the two are then put under arrest by Zone Cops Zector and Zespio.
