"Ah, the fresh air of freedom!" Luke said.

"You think he could really be Mom's brother?" Sonic asked.

"Well, his voice does sound familiar..." Sonia said.

"Besides, why else would Buttnik have him in the clink?" Manic asked.

"I managed to conceal these from Robotnik in the hopes that some day I could bestow them upon you." Luke said and Sonic, Manic and Sonia gasped. "They bear the royal family crest. Wear them, always!"

"I don't get it. Why the mask? And how come we've never heard of you before?" Sonic said.

"It's the law! There can be only one ruler of Mobius. I was forced into exile, and then when your mother vanished, Robotnik imprisoned me, afraid that I would claim the throne!"

"Aw, bummer! Major drawback to royalty." Manic said.

"Don't worry, bro. When I'm ruler, you won't have to vanish!" Sonic said.

"You? Hah! A ruler needs some culture and sophistication. You can't serve chili dogs at a royal banquet! Besides, I will never wear a mask. Talk about a clashing accessory!" Sonia said.

"Hey, I'm the true representative of the people!" Manic said.

"Hey! I don't recall saying you were the leader."

"Oh, like Miss Perfect doesn't think she's queen already!"

"You've got to admit, I look best in a crown!"

"I'm saying that once I'm ruler, I'm sure we can work somethin' out for you two." Sonic said.

"Hmph. Frankly, I don't think either of you are up to the royal job."

"Oh yeah?!" Sonic and Manic said.

"Yeah!"

"Look out! More of Robotnik's troops!" Luke said.

Sonic and Sonia gasped.

"Hit it, sibs!" Sonic said.

"Just because I've lived on the streets all my life doesn't mean I can't handle the crown!" Manic said.

"Dream on! I'll be wearing the crown."

"You? I'd look much better in a crown! Diamonds go with my eyes." Sonia said.

Robotnik sniggered.

"Ah, yes! Already the break-up has started, just as I planned. And all it needs is one more little... push." he said.

"Give it more gas!" Manic said.

"Sure, so the wheels can spin even more!" Sonic said.

Sonic, Manic, and Sonia sighed.

"If you were to steer Mobius the way you steer a van, then we'd all be on the road to disaster!" Sonia said.

"Yeah, well, if you become ruler, I'll vanish on purpose!" Sonic said.

"Argh!" Manic said.

"Just so I don't have to listen to you!"

"Well if that's how you feel, then I'll just leave! Go off by myself." Sonia said.

"Yeah! This hedgehog never needed anyone before and he doesn't now." Sonic said and she and Sonia part ways. "As of now, the Sonic Underground is through! We each go our own way, and may the best ruler win."

Three year later.

Sonic was running through the desert when Tails and Knuckles came flying by in the Tornado 2.
