Story
At Angel Island, the camera pans out from the beach to the forest. From there, a silhouette from a smiling hedgehog appears and it unveils to be Sonic, who came back after saving the timeline of his other counterpart. He looks around, amazed to be back in his own world, but then looks in confusion of the reason for the various amounts of holes in the ground. He then looks up, hearing a plane. But instead, it's Dr. Robotnik in his Egg Mobile, capturing the Flickies. He thinks and decides to run after him. Ramp after ramp and then running up a tree, he arrives at his destination. He looks at the capsule full of critters. Expecting a normal saving, he steps but unfortunately triggers a pair of spikes along the way. He eventually lands on the panel of the capsule, freeing the Flickies. He then falls off the panel, which unveils a ball with Robotnik's face on the spring. Seconds after looking at the despicable joke, he gets trapped and hangs upside down. Spikes emerge beneath him and the capsule turns into a bomb. Robotnik then laughingly appears behind the bomb and mocks Sonic's defeat. Sonic embarrassingly becomes furious. Just when Robotnik is about to leave, Sonic distracts him with a Chaos Emerald, which of course the "Eggman" wants to hold dear. Sonic holds it back, causing Robotnik to turn around. It triggers another trap, made for the same purpose. Sonic giggles. The two fight for who gets the emerald, Sonic then kicks Robotnik's hand and gets freed by the Flickies. He then looks at him and the bomb and leaves the two behind. Robotnik uses the "puppy eye" tactic, which makes Sonic feel guilt. As Sonic was about to have sympathy for Robotnik, a strange device falls out from his pocket. Sonic inspects it and reads that Dr. Robotnik has a couple of emeralds and wants them all. Robotnik sweats and Sonic is irritated. Sonic punches the time bomb, making it countdown faster. He zooms off and leaves Robotnik in a blast.

Later in the forests, A strange metal figure sets foot and begins to search for his needs.

Errors

 * When Sonic pretends to grant Robotnik a Chaos Emerald, he holds it up. But on 1:27 mins, he holds it upside down.
 * When the device of Robotnik's falls out his pocket, He awkwardly smiles with his teeth showing. Although, his teeth are colored the same way as his skin. If you blink, you'd miss it. It was later fixed in the back-to-back video.
 * While Sonic looks at Eggman's handheld, the bomb is seen to have 19 seconds until detonation. After 25 seconds of looking at his handheld however, the bomb is at 17 seconds until detonation.
