  • Sonic is just recovering from Metal Sonic v2.5's ambush and quickly resumes his climb up Mt. Mobius to rescue Tails. A net trap, however, snares Sonic, and Metal Sonic cackles at his misfortune. Now officially angry, Sonic struggles with his climb as Metal continues to trip him up and taunt him relentlessly. However, Sonic begins to wonder if Metal's personality is starting to override his original programming, similar to what happened with Sonic when he was Roboticized. Sonic eventually reaches the summit and rescues Tails, just as Metal appears to finish them both off. After a frontal attack quickly fails, Sonic tries to appeal to Metal's personality by claiming that there's more to being alive than programming. Metal Sonic refuses to listen to reason, and Sonic orders Tails to get to safety while he prepares to fight, but the fox refuses and insists that they'll fight together. Suddenly, the volcano begins to erupt, and Sonic and Tails are trapped by lava and debris falling all around them. With no way out, it seems to be the end for them both until Metal blasts them free. The robot admits that Sonic is right, that he can be more than his programming dictates. In his last act of free will, Metal Sonic holds back the erupting lava and allows Sonic and Tails to escape, just before he is consumed completely. As the heroes recover from the events, they wonder why Metal Sonic changed his mind. Sonic thinks that it wasn't what they said that changed his mind, but instead what they did. Tails' loyalty and friendship made Metal believe Sonic's words. Sonic and Tails decide to head home.
