In Winterburg, Sonic and Twilight Sparkle are busy battling Dr. Eggman in his snowman mech.

"Hold still, you insufferable little..." Eggman exclaimed attack them before of ice statue of them.

"I know it's been a while, but is that any way to break the ice," Sonic joked.

"No more Ice Puns!" Eggman shot back.

"Ok, we'll go straight to stopping you from taking over this quaint town," Twilight said before blasting the Egg-Snowman with her magic.

"I don't care about this Frost-Bitten place. I'm hunting Zeti--EEP!" Eggman screamed as Sonic attacked the cockpit. "The Deadly Six are on the loose! I need to take care of them before they cause more trouble. And both of you are too inept to handle them!"

"US? Coming from the guy who invited them to spread the Metal Virus! You're the one to blame!" Sonic retorted.

"Metaphorically speaking, Sonic, Starline had the idea of bringing them back," Twilight while she shield her and Sonic from Eggman's attack."

"Still, he's Eggman's lackey, so therefore it's Eggman's fault!" Sonic said.

"He's no longer affiliated with me."

"You got a long list of evil deeds that's runs a mile long and trying to weasel out. Forget Eggman, tried Dr. Nutjob!"

"I personally like Badly Mcnosehair!"

"Neither of those is funny!"

From behind a building, Master Zik overhears the pair's conversation, making him realize that Zavok is indeed alive. He wonders why he has not come to get the others, as though they are formidable, they still require his leadership. He wonders if Zavok is injured. Though Master Zik believes the weak should be left behind, they were in some extraordinary circumstances. As Sonic and Twilight continue to battle and mock Eggman, Master Zik slips away, saying that he will focus on rallying the others and try to meet him halfway.

Elsewhere, Zavok commands an Egg Knight to go no further and allow him to rest. Sitting under a tree, Zavok is disappointed at how he tried to take a whole army from Eggman but with all his efforts he only managed to get one robot. He was the mightiest on the Lost Hex, but after fighting Sonic and Eggman, he continued to suffer one humiliating defeat after another. The Zeti notes how easy it would be to surrender. Clawing at the surface, Zavok angrily snaps out of it and refuses to give up, as according to him, defeat is only a foundation for revenge. He commands the Egg Knight to connect to the Eggnet to find which location he sent the Deadly Six to was the closest. He knows the others would not have strayed far from where he sent them and knows that he will need the full might of his team to exact his revenge. Following this, they would lay waste to everything. Zavok then continues on with the Egg Knight.

In Riverside, Zazz is busy trying to catch a fish but fails. He looks up to find an angry Zavok demanding to know what he is doing. Zazz reports that after the citizens returned to normal, they overwhelmed him and kicked him out of the town. Zavok reminds him that he is Zeti and of the Deadly Six; he does not survive, but instead, conquers. He then asks Zazz if he still has the Moon Mech, which the pink Zeti replies that he does and stashed it not too far from their location. He is requested to summon it as their revenge began now. Zavok, Zazz, and the Egg Knight swiftly tear down the town. Soon, Zavok forces a doctor to wrap him with bandages as he will heal fast with the proper support. When the doctor asks if he could tend to his neighbors after, he is denied. Zavok then asks why Riverside was pristine before they began their attack, wondering if Zazz did nothing with the Zombots. Zazz tells him that following the town's destruction, it was fixed again by the Restoration. Later, in Vista View, a caged Zomom looks on as the villagers happily have a feast. They comment on how the Restoration helped them in the aftermath of the Metal Virus. Zomom tells a villager how it was not fair that he was not allowed to feast, only for her to remind him that if he behaves he will be fed on the hour. The Zeti promises to be good and is given a cake. The feast is soon interrupted by Zazz and Zavok, with the latter finding Zomom in a more pathetic state than Zazz. Zomom tells him how he was weak with hunger and was now only given three meals a day. When he requests to be let out so he could eat them up, Zavok reminds Zomom that he is Zeti and he is of the Deadly Six; he does not accept rationed feedings but instead consumes all.

A Restoration member manages to destroy the Egg Knight with a Hover Wispon and tells the villagers to go to the designated shelter. He is stopped by Zavok, who questions him. The Restoration member tells him how he is part of the security corps, a group that stopped Badniks from attacking reconstruction efforts. Zavok did not enjoy learning that they were rebuilding and protecting as he believed that they were trying to undo all that his kind had done. He tells the Restoration member that though they worked so well together, they would now suffer together. Later, Zavok, Zazz, and Zomom walk through a forest. Zazz wishes to burn it down, but Zavok refuses as they had to travel further to get the pack to full strength. Zavok is instead surprised to find Master Zik in the forest along with Zeena and Zor, and learns that he had already taken the liberty of rounding up the others so that they could regroup sooner. Zavok acknowledges this wise act and commends Master Zik. The leader then tells his master that he plans to go back the way they came, find the towns that resisted them and raze them to the ground. Master Zik finds disappointment in this, even though Zavok claims that they were the first on the list for their revenge. The master understands the desire but the plan felt too obvious. Due to Zavok leaving misery in his wake, he began to set a pattern. Master Zik notes how they are far from the Lost Hex and could not return, meaning that they were in the lands of their enemies, who were numerous and organized; it would not take long for them to realize their targets and prepare for them. Zavok suggests facing them on the battlefield, to which Master Zik finds acceptable but they could achieve more. He suggests going after the Restoration as they bring about safety, stability, and hope. If they were torn out by the roots, the world would have no means of recovering from their viciousness.

Zavok finds his master's advice to be very wise. He plots to march to the nearest town like he said and firmly establish their pattern of attack by ruining all that stands there. As the heroes rush to defend the other two towns, they will instead double-back and assault the Restoration's base when its defenses are at their weakest. Master Zik takes glee in the new plan. Zavok then commands the Deadly Six to march on. The group soon attacks Orchardville. Zavok easily defeats two of the security corps there and notes this, hoping the others put up some fight. One of the security corps tells the other to distract Zavok while he sent word to the others. Zavok looks on with determination.

Later, the Chaotix arrives at the new Restoration HQ, with Charmy talking about how much cooler it was than the old one. Espio notes how a lot of work was put into it after they accidentally destroyed the old one, which Vector believed warranted a discount. Vector greets a volunteer and tells her that Jewel sent for them. She tells him that she will announce them, which confuses Vector. The volunteer loudly announces over a walkie-talkie to Jewel that the Chaotix were here to see her. The volunteer walks off in a foul mood. Vector is soon greeted by Jewel. She tells them that there has been a rash of violent attacks that did not seem to be Eggman-related. The survivors of these attacks spoke of "horned monsters." Espio recognized them as the Deadly Six, surprising Jewel at how quick his deduction was. Espio shows the papers to Vector and Charmy, pointing out that the attacked areas were where he, Tails, Amy, Silver, and Whisper fought members of the Deadly Six last. Vector also points out that they knew Zavok escaped from Everhold Prison. Jewel happily asks if they already knew what was going on. Vector confirms the situation as the Deadly Six trying to exact their revenge but in a sloppy manner. With this, they would be able to deduce where they would attack next and handle the rest from there.

Back in Winterburg, Sonic and Twilight successfully destroy Eggman's base of operations.

"This isn't the end, fools!" Eggman shouted as he flew away in his Egg Moblie.

"Not until you give the evil schtick of yours," Sonic shot back. "That was good what's next?"

"I just got word from Tails, that Zaovk and Deadly Six are on the move. The Chaotix Crusaders narrow their location to Sunset City and Winterburg."

"Great this gives us some time to chill, before kicking some goons!"
