| abstract | - At the beginning of the issue, Knuckles the Echidna, Julie-Su, and Vector the Crocodile begin their interrogation of Rouge the Bat, who earlier appeared outside Freedom HQ via a Warp Ring, seeking asylum. Vector tells Rouge that Fiona Fox spilled some dirt on her earlier; the fox explained her past with Nic the Weasel and their various illegal encounters with Rouge. With this info, Vector says that Rouge could end up in a lot of trouble. Rouge makes a deal to tell the trio what happened since she was last at Knothole in exchange for protection. She tells them how she and Scourge escaped Shadow via a Warp Ring sent by Dr. Finitevus. In return, they helped Finitevus break into Dr. Eggman's Egg Grape Chambers and saved the Destructix. Finitevus then brought them to the ancient missile base guarded by Isaac who was still watching over Ivan Kintobor. Rouge adds that she felt the robot was malfunctioning as, according to her, Ivan's cryosleep had failed; he was now merely a frozen corpse. Finitevus stole all of Isaac's data, but most of it was corrupt or erroneous. Finitevus then planned to use dozens of ancient missiles hidden in the base, but Rouge sabotaged them, preventing them from ever being used. Rouge then stole a Warp Ring and made her escape to Knothole. Meanwhile, Sonic is giving support to Fiona for revealing her past. She then begins to tell him something, only to be interrupted by Sleuth Dawg holding Tails at gun point. Sonic attempts to attack Sleuth, but is instead attacked by Scourge, and the two race off. Sleuth then tells Fiona that, working for Finitevus, he just wants Rouge and the Warp Ring she stole. She calls him a traitor to the Freedom Fighters, which he finds ironic for unexplained reasons. As Sonic and Scourge fight in the treetops, Scourge taunts Sonic about his relationship with Fiona, saying he loves how she acts as though it's real. This infuriates Sonic, but Fiona, Tails and Sleuth catch up with the hedgehogs and inform them that they have made a deal: the Warp Ring for Tails. Sonic rushes off to get the ring, hands it over and Sleuth and Scourge depart. Fiona quickly insists that anything Scourge told Sonic was a lie, and Sonic is slightly confused at this unprovoked claim of innocence. Tails walks away with a disturbed look upon his face but says nothing. Sonic and Fiona then go back to Knothole hand in hand. Meanwhile, thinking they've wasted enough time, Knuckles and Vector leave Rouge and Julie-su to conversate each other. Julie-su knocks Rouge out of her chair, telling her that she's been eying on Knuckles. Rouge pulls on Julie-su's cyborged piece of hair, telling Julie-su that she specilizes on stealing anything percious. Before she could say the b-word, Rouge cuts her off by kicking her in the stomach, telling her to remember that. Julie-su remaks she will as Rouge leaves telling Julie that she will be looking foward to their visit and shuts the door behind her.
