   In the Metropolis Zone the Freedom Fighters meet the absurd Mister Blobnik, whose pipe and umbrella look a joke until a bubble trap whisks Sonic away.

At the Citadel, Robotnik frees Sonic and proposes an uneasy alliance against the Brotherhood.

   • The Brotherhood of Metallix, Part 2 Sonic the Hedgehog

   Robotnik explains that Grimer built the Metallixes and that only Sonic's speed can use the remaining Star Post into the Special Zone. Inside the Egg Fortress Sonic steals the Alpha Device, wrecks two Metallix escorts, then hands it back when the Emperor threatens Grimer. The Emperor vanishes to the Miracle Planet with the device, leaving Sonic to realise the Brotherhood are already ahead.

   Under a fragile truce with Robotnik, Sonic, Amy, Porker and Johnny climb the orbital chain to the Miracle Planet to stop the Brotherhood of Metallix.

   • The Brotherhood of Metallix, Part 4 Sonic the Hedgehog

   The Emperor Metallix believes Sonic, Amy and Johnny have been captured, until he realises a fourth life-form is missing and the escort Metallix is stuck repeating its report. Porker's reprogrammed robot detonates, shredding the Brotherhood nearby, yet the Alpha Device keeps metallising the Miracle Planet. Porker begins a careful discharge of its energy, but the crippled Emperor reactivates the device and Porker races back just as the planet fades for a month, stranding him.

   • The Return of Chaotix, Part 1 Sonic the Hedgehog

   Sonic waits at Never Lake for the Miracle Planet's monthly return and greets Porker Lewis on the giant chain after a month alone; Porker insists he is unhurt, though his manner is oddly stiff. Chaotix arrive via the Omni-Viewer, smash Special Badnik Service tanks with Sonic's help, and warn of a Metallix scheme Sonic believes already finished. Omni then peels away an energy screen: the planet's green-and-blue look was an illusion, and it now stares down as a vast Metallix head.

   • The Return of Chaotix, Part 2 Sonic the Hedgehog

   Sonic races up the chain toward the metallised Miracle Planet with Porker and Chaotix, then spots wires under a scratch on Porker's skin: a Porker Metallix that shrugs off their combined assault. A Spin Attack overloads its death ray; Vector and Mighty Link-Ring the exploding impostor clear of the chain, and they free the real Porker below. Emperor Metallix emerges through the Main Viewer and shows Mobius already remade into machines and flame: the Brotherhood has rewritten history.

   • The Return of Chaotix, Part 3 Sonic the Hedgehog

   With Mobius remade as Planet Metallix, Sonic, Porker and Chaotix dive into Omni under Code 'D' while Emperor Metallix declines to chase them. On the surface they meet only industrial horror and hunting Metallixes until Vector pulls Sonic back from a hopeless stand, and Charmy's wrong turn ends at a sewer hatch. A cowled rescuer and Rob's camera lure the robots onto a hologram trap that detonates; deeper underground the cowl drops, and Doctor Ovi Kintobor - the man who became Robotnik - greets Sonic as if from the grave.

   • The Return of Chaotix, Part 4 Sonic the Hedgehog

   Beneath Planet Metallix, Kintobor claims never to have heard of anyone called Robotnik and hands Sonic a prototype Anti-Metallix Device before Omni follows the chronotron trail into the past. Metallix sentries eject them mid-jump; Sonic slaps the device onto one machine, which turns its chest cannon on its kin. He pockets a rotten egg from a ruined fist on a hunch, then at trail's end spies young Kintobor beside a brown, spiky hedgehog - his own earlier self.

   • The Return of Chaotix, Part 5 Sonic the Hedgehog

   At young Kintobor's lab the heroes watch the Kinetic Gyratoscope blast past Sonic into his blue form, and present Sonic finally understands the rotten egg. He restocks the empty fridge, jumps twenty-four hours, then trips past Kintobor into the Retro-Orbital Chaos Compressor so the doctor becomes Robotnik - the very villain needed to keep Metallix from owning Mobius. Back in a restored present Sonic Omni-ports into Citadel Robotnik's office, blazing with fury.

    • The Return of Chaotix, Part 6 Sonic the Hedgehog

    At the Citadel, Robotnik scoffs until Grimer admits he designed the Metallixes and Robotnik only fitted the self-destruct - which Robotnik never pressed, hoping the robots would finish Sonic first. A sky-darkening swarm then punches through the walls; amid the brawl Emperor Metallix seizes the remote and nearly crushes it before Sonic snatches the button and drops every Metallix at once. After the heroes leave, Grimer unveils blueprints for a Knuckles Metallix.
