Synopsis[]
In the cave underneath Holoska, Sonic, Belle, Motobud and Sage walk together after escaping Metal Sonic and Belle comments on the hazards in the cave with Sonic calling it cool. Sage then asks if Belle has knock her longer then herself with Belle saying how he is pretty much this way all the time and how Tails thinks it's hilarious and Sage adds on saying she thought Tails was intelligent. Sonic then tells them to save the energy for finding a way out the cave and tracking down Metal Sonic, when Belle wonders why they are working backwards saying how he was being creepy with that device on his face. Sage interrupts saying how Dr. Eggman sought her out because of her unique connection to Metal Sonic and how she was supposed to assist on the mission but has failed proving her to be a liability. Belle angrily says how no one asked her and how she tried to connect with him, but something was blocking her off. Sonic jokingly says how if it's just him being a jerk when Motobud grabs his attention wanting to show him something. Sonic then ask for Sage and Belle to make a truce for now as Motobud shows them a construction device with a disassembled Egg Pawn in the middle. Belle says how the Badnik's processors have been burned out and says how it's not just disassembly but mutilation, with Sage saying how they were never brought up online to begin with. Sonic then decides to run off thinking he can find something else and Belle tries to stop him but ran off before she could.
Sage says how it's fine and how she need's time to inventory and cross-reference what went missing and ask Belle if she has the function to assist. and Belle responds saying that's one of many and they soon begin. Meanwhile Sonic runs across a small bedroom saying whoever is here mad themselves at home. Sonic then says how he really hopes the set-up is someone watching fifteen episodes of Next Show. He soon discovers a large coffin which he predicts is either a mummy or robot and soon enters the coffin greeted to nothing but a mysterious place. Meanwhile, Belle and Sage are still going through components, and Sage concludes that the missing inventory was most likely used to construct the device on Metal Sonic. Sage then says how a sufficient energy source the device would be able to override Metal Sonic's base control. Belle then compares sit similar to what Eggman tried with her, further saying how sage has no problem doing it to me but no good doing it to other Badniks. Sage responds saying she was created by Eggman during his "Mr. Tinker" phase and is part of his stuff and says how she belongs to him along with the rest of the world. Belle then says how she is worst then Metal Sonic and suddenly is attacked by him but protect by Sage's shield. Sage who glitches between red and blue says how she did not calculate this possibility and Belle ask what she's doing and assumes she a hologram, but Sage says how she is hard light construct and that she can be damaged. Belle then tells her to come over to her and give her a boost signal, and once over Belle commands Metal to stop saying she's on his side. metal then tries to attack them but sage notices that she cannot access his systems and further asking how she established a link.
Belle concludes that the device on his face is keeping her out and says together they sent a strong enough signal to confuse his systems briefly. Sage then says she will calculate an ask how long they have and Belle says it's not going to be long and ask to trust her. Metal then gets back online and chases after them and meanwhile Sonic then tries to call for Belle, Sage and Motobud to see if there around. Sonic tries to run out and hears echoes of himself but realizes that it won't work. Sonic then tries to see if there's a hollow wall and he is right as he blends through the wall and here the echo's only to find out it's his shadow which emerges a green figure identical to him. He soon tries to challenge it, and it accepts racing him throughout the area. Meanwhile, Belle, Sage and Motobud manage to hide and Belle declares that he's gone, and Sage starts to panic saying she must devise an escape saying Eggman order her to return if things got out of hand. Belle tries to comfort her saying she has parameters she can work with saying she grabbed some stuff to build a defensive weapon and wasn't sure if she could figure out a way to make it works, but says that Sage can do it faster. Sage agrees and starts working with Belle to put it together and soon metal Sonic shows up to ambush them and then fires it causing Sonic to also return in the process.
Belle then runs to get him asking if he's ok and before he starts telling her what happened Sage is grabbed by metal Sonic and Sonic, Belle along with Motobud give chase.
