Synopsis

When Sonic returns from a routine mission, he brings back with him an ancient power ring once owned by the Mandaras, an extinct race of giants. Watching from inside a dimension called the Void, an evil wizard named Ixis Naugus plans to use Sonic to take him out of the Void to get revenge on Robotnik for trapping him in there ten years ago after the coup. So Naugus uses the ring to teleport Sally and Bunnie to the Void. There, Naugus uses his magic to make Sally about Sonic. Sonic finds out that the girls are gone and turns to Nicole for information. Soon, Sonic takes Nicole with him to the site where the void is. Soon, Robotnik, aware of his past experience with the Void, traps Sonic inside, not knowing that Sonic wanted to go there, anyway. Soon, Sonic finds the girls and also finds the king. The king asks Sonic to take him out of the void. Once they exit, the king reveals himself to be Naugus. Robotnik is horrified to see Naugus' return. Soon Naugus begins humiliating him with his magic. Meanwhile, back in the void, Ari, trapped earlier, tells Sally that she was tricked. Sally finds the real king and they hug each other after years apart. Then, Sonic returns and rescues them all. Soon, Naugus and the king start to turn into crystal for being in the void too long and Naugus can only prevent it from there. Before they both return to the void, giving Robotnik the opportunity to escape, the king gives Sally a disk containing the information of other freedom fighter groups. The king and Sally hug each other tearfully. This episode takes place before "Cry of the wolf".
