A few days have passed, and no sign of Sonic or Sally has been brought up. Knuckles is doing his normal guardian duties on Shrine Isle at Angel Island, but he is soon awoken by Rouge. The female spy mentions the news of Sally's absence, and Sonic's disappearance is also concerning. However, a large shadow is soon cast upon the two as the finish descending the altar stairs.
