We never know because their cutoff by the arrival of the Iron King, who says he has hugered (Opps spelling error!) for this day, him and the Tremor Mace. Sonic remembers him and also remembers how they dealt with him last time, though Kahn tells him that the fan is in the king's possession now, so much for that idea! They decide to take their chances, Sonic covers Kahn while he gets his staff.
Sonic attacks the king full force but is about as successful as a paper fan against a flamethrower, things just don't work out. Kahn tries his luck and discovers that stone is a poor conductor of electricity: again things just don't work out! Espio arrives and Sonic thinks he's here to help, until Espio clocks him with an open palm fist attack of power! Kahn is annoyed that Sonic's head doesn't work as fast as his legs but his interrupted by Lynx, who hails from the Raiju clan (All together now: Too many bloody clans!).
Espio isn't talking to the annoyance of Sonic who tries to get through to him but again the lavender ninja isn't in a talking mood. so Sonic takes him out. Monkey Kahn deals with Lynx with a massive blast of lightning but gets shot up by the Legion for his troubles...again. What were they doing during the fight, eating popcorn? Sonic in true blue fashion says he's wrong (Not in those words) and thinks they should be going. The Iron King says they may serve him if they swear loyalty to him...and the Queenie of course. Sonic wants to know the benefits but Kahn says the King doesn't get sarcasm (Neither does the internet!). Sonic suggests they get a cloud and go on home and Kahn obliges.
Lien Da orders the Legion to shoot them down but the King says not so fast. He says their enemy is wounded and to just let them run with their tails between their legs on home and tell the people of their failure...blah blah blah. Honestly they should have just shot them down.
Back at home, Sonic reports his findings to Knux, Elias and Sally. Knux is a bit distressed about Espio's Benedict act while Elias asks Sonic to report his findings to the entire Council tomorrow. Sonic agrees while Kahn mopes. Sally asks him if he's all right, though he isn't and he asks her to refer to him by his real name, Ken. Kahn mutters this about being another in a long line of failures for him and mopes off. What an emo!
I'll review the side story shortly.
Shortly is now!
Snively and Regina are reveling in the events of the past story, while cuddling in Regina's bedroom (Hmmmmmm). Snively confesses that he knows very little of her past and she obliges, though it isn't a happy one. Seems Regina hails from a cult of techno mages who once lived in Mega Central, far before the Great War. She was taught how to control the electric impulses in electronics and send them out at will: in short she can control electronics and speak their language (Any wonder she was part of the Eggman Empire?).
The good times didn't last as magitek was illegal and the cult was arrested. Due to her age, they just sent her into exile (Nice, real nice guys). The Great War had also begun so going to the Mobians was out of the question. While in exile, she honed her craft until she came across the Dragon Kingdom. This is where she met the warlord Jun Kun and well...that's that. Snives (As she calls him) has more questions but she tells him they can wait for another night...heh.
