Shanazar's Zones are folded into Mobius, and Sonic and Amy return to Emerald Hill to find Robotnik following them. Sonic defeats him, while Tekno reveals that the new geography also opens gateways to other times and places, setting up a new era of exploration.

Captain Plunder · Shanghaied, Part 3 #
A batch of Proctor Speckle's transformation serum turns three sharks into a boarding party for Captain Plunder's ship. Mister Fry drags Simpson and the main sail into the melee, then reverts at the worst possible moment, leaving Plunder to save Simpson with a hefty mallet. The sharks are subdued, but Speckle slips away with the crew's vintage rum truffles.

Tails in · Zonerunner & The Big Freeze, Part 2 #
At the ruined Flock base Sol Furic swears he did not plant the bomb — Nutzan Bolt slaughtered the Flock while tearing Chemical Plant apart for revenge, and the broken systems birthed the freeze. Underground in the Runs, locals blame Tails for their lost homes and force the pair to flee into Sol's flat, where he confesses he once betrayed Sab for Nutzan's false promises. Then Sab kicks the door in, very much alive, and the reunion is anything but gentle.
