We start off where the spoiler pages left us, Sonic and MK battling it out, exchanging barbs and insults. Before Sonic can pay Kahn back for wrecking
Mina's concert and MK can play Zeus, Sally steps in, telling them to cut it out! She tells Sonic to stop the fighting and for MK to file a complain civily
if he wants to get his point across. He figures he could have handled introductions a bit better...but is utterly confused why they're partying when the
Empire is still up and kicking. Sally reminds him that they defeated Eggman but Kahn reminds her that they only changed leadership...opps.
Back at the Eggdome, Snively welcomes ninja cat thingy, who reports that the Yagyu clan has scoured the city and discovered only the Eggdome is operational...well duh! Cue a little flirting between Regina and Snively but the King does not approve. He wonders why they had to come to this deadbeat city when the Iron Dominion was a far better place. He also doesn't like it that Snively only seems to address her and is so familiar with him...uh-oh. She reassures him that this is only temporary and they'll soon move the seatings of the empire to the Dragon Kingdom. He leaves with Conquering Storm (Ninja cat) to find some weapons for their weak army.
Speaking of that weak army, Dimitri appears. He tells the queen of their plight, how the good Doctor rigged them up as a bunch of walking explosives if they tried to revolt and asks if she can remove them so they can have peace of mind. She apologizes, saying the Doctor was real thorough and the only thing she can do is provide him with a microchip which will disable the detonator signal. Dimitri isn't too pleased about this but takes it and thanks them in the most vitrolic way possible. Finally alone, Snively and Regina celebrate their victory. She says soon they can crush those rebels (yea right) and dispose of her oaf of a king (!!) and rule the world with an iron fist...what is with these people and iron?
Back at the Coliseum, MK finishes his explaination, saying that while some of her forces are still in the Iron Dominion (Or whatever), a large group moved here to help cement the takeover. Sally apologizes for the misunderstanding while Elias asks Antoine to gather up the council so they can figure out how to handle this new threat. Kahn is amused at the thought of them handling the threat, like they handled Eggman (Oooooooh) while Sonic notes that their fight may be just beginning. Isn't it always?
Sally tells Sonic to hold his horses while Kahn apologizes for his actions. Sally shruges it off, saying they have the invasion to worry about and also notes that they've had quite a bit of experience with invasions as of late. She suggests they coordinate with the resistance in the Iron Dominion but Kahn says there is no one else...drat
Sonic, in his infinite wisdom, suggests he and Kahn head over there and kick them out right now. Sally thinks that's the most idiotic plan yet (And Sonic's had many!) but Kahn seems eager to show Sonic that these aren't the same jokers they tangled with before. She suggests this be a recon mission but Sonic is expecting to finish up this invasion by dinnertime (Like how they dealt with Enerjak, right?) which causes Sally no end of grief.
MK and Sonic speed off for the Eggdome, exchanging more barbs. Sonic plans to show Kahn how to defeat mad despots while wondering if he gets an apology for all the trouble Kahn has caused him. Kahn agrees if he gets one as well so you know how that goes. He too wonders what the princess sees in him (Becoming a theme here) but Sonic says they aren't together, which intrigues Kahn!
Interrupting the mushy fest between Snively and Regina, Conquering Storm explains that her agent spotted Sonic and Kahn headed toward the city...uh-oh.
Side story! (Remember those?) Espio is speeding toward the coliseum while asking Nicole why there are lightning strikes but realizes there is someone around (ninja senses of course) and tosses a dart at...Lightning Lynx?! He of course catches it and dodges Espio's attacks. Nicole notes that he's alone and Lynx explains he's here on clan business...huh? Lynx explains that the Bride of Four Houses rules them all but Espio is skeptical. Lynx goes on the say that she slew the Bride of Rich Nights and took control of the Yagyu clan while the rest fell in place (Anyone else getting a headache from these names?). Espio doubts the shinobi clan would never do that but Lynx says he has orders from the Bride of Constant Vigil, who entrusted them to him. Espio is still in shock as he reads over the message. Nicole, like the rest of us what to know what the hell is going on but Espio isn't in an explaining mode (Is he ever?). She says maybe the Freedom Fighters can help but he shoots that down too saying he has been summoned to take care of his new duties. He begans to tell her to tell Knux but shoots it down and says toodles. Lynx and Espio speed out of the city while Lynx tells the master (Conquering Storm most likely) that Sonic and the pretender to the throne (?!) are on their way to the city. He also says he made contact with Espio and are on their way to intercept...eh?
Well Kahn is back and I'm most pleased but boy do they have a rude surprise coming.
