The last time on New Frontier, Shadow, Rouge, and Tempest Shadow have arrived to eliminate the seemingly reformed, amnesiac Dr. Eggman now going by the name "Mr. Tinker". Standing around the nervous Mr. Tinker, however, are the Chaotix, CMC and Sonic.

"Hold on, Shadow!" Apple Bloom pleaded.

"This isn't what it looks like!" Sweetie Belle joined her.

"Talk fast kids," Tempest mentioned. "We definitely heard him say he was rebuilding Eggman Land. And you know how stubborn Shadow can be."

"I admit, that 'Eggman Land' thing is iffy- but I'm sure' it's okay! This isn't Dr. Eggman!" Sonic stop the black hedgehog.

"Th-that right's! " Mr. Tinker. "Apparently he looks an awful lot like me! I'm your friendly handyman Mr. Tinker!"

"Long story short, he lost memory and everyone confirmed," Sonic told him.

"Losing one's memory doesn't make them any less dangerous," Shadow disregards.

Sonic tries to convince Shadow further but Shadow angrily shoves him aside. Sonic points out that he was not listening and continues to prevent Shadow from reaching Eggman. Eventually, though, Shadow has enough and tries pushing Sonic away, but Sonic grabs his arm and throws him against a wall. The two begin dashing around the town, engaged in combat with one another, much to Mr. Tinker's fright.

"What're we standing around for? We're the Chaotix Crusaders!" Vector mentioned. "Come guys lets help Sonic out!"

"Roger!" Espio nodded.

"Yeah!" Charmy and the Crusaders cheered happily but the battle proves to be far too fast for them to keep up.

"There's no way we can keep with them," Apple Bloom said. "But we questioned the culprit who him here!" She pointed at Rouge.

"Yeah!" Scootaloo exclaimed. "This is all your fault!"

"Goodness! Me?" Rouge playfully asked.

"Yeah-you!" Sweetie Belle exclaimed. "What in Celestia's name thinking bringing Shadow here?!"

"In case you didn't know little filly," Tempest spoke up. "Shadow was already looking for the Doctor ensuring he wasn't planning a counterattack. He ain't the type to pull any punches for those like, say a certain group of detectives stand in his might get hurt."

"So isn't it convenient for you that anonymous tip when you did? Meaning you had plenty of time to verify and bring the hero. By the time Rouge and myself helped Shadow find the village your work was a complete and heroic counter method by your side."

"I don't get it," Charmy confessed making Vector groan.

"I do," Apple Bloom said. "Thinks how else would Tempest and Rouge know about the tip unless...."

"They were helping us this entire time!" Scootaloo realized that they were the ones who gave the tip-off.

Outside of town, Sonic continues his battle with Shadow.

"Having trouble getting past me? I thought you were fast!" Sonic teased him.

Shadow caught him but Sonic increase his speed.

"Look I get it! Eggman has been a massive jerk for years! But he's done some good stuff too! Like when the Space Colony Ark was about to crash into the planet he help us out!"

Shadow gave him a glare.

"But he's also started it too," Sonic forgot. "It's not like he was aiming to destroy the world! Okay, what about the time when the Black Arms invaded? Eggman fought the alien invasion with us! Without him, we may not have long enough to save the day!"

Without noticing Sonic tripped over a root then Shadow rammed him into a tree!

"Have you forgotten that he made you suffer?" Shadow grimly asked. "Turned you into a monster, gave Tierk all the Chaos Emeralds and absorb its power, teamed up with Chrysalis to destroy all of time and space, and not mention sending a psycho mad little filly to destroy you!"

"How can you suggest leniency for him after all that!?"

"You tried to destroy me in the past too, remember?" Sonic brings up that Shadow has tried to destroy him in the past, too, as well as try to obliterate the entire planet.

"So what? You want to take me out you and Eggman? After all, if he can't be forgiven can you?" Sonic smirked knowing Shadow's logic.

As Shadow recalls that he himself has been forgiven for his crimes, he lets Sonic go.

He then asks Sonic what his plan with Eggman is, and Sonic expresses his desire to let the doctor stay in the village and let him continue doing good for the residents, although he does want to investigate what prompted Eggman to mention "Eggman Land" in the first place. Realizing at that moment that Sonic had been distracting him all the time, Shadow teleports away and towards the village. His ruse discovered Sonic hurries towards the village.

Back in the village, the Chaotix Crusaders see Shadow coming and are ready to stop the black hedgehog in his tracks. Shadow, however, simply teleports past them, into the house. Inside the house, Shadow finds Rouge. Tempest and Mr. Tinker, the latter of whom is hiding from the black hedgehog behind some furniture. Upon explaining to them that he has discussed matters with Sonic, Rouge and Tempest allow Shadow to talk to Eggman, and Shadow demands that he show him "Eggman Land". As the pair walks out of the house and past the Chaotix and Crusaders, who are confused, a nervous Mr. Tinker states that he will show it to Shadow, despite it not being finished yet. Mr. Tinker takes Shadow to a barn and shows him that inside it is an indoor amusement park named "Eggman Land" with Badnik-themed rides and figurines. As Rouge, Sonic, and the Chaotix gather outside the barn to see Eggman Land, Mr. Tinker explains that he made it for the village children, in a nice place outside of the elements. Mr. Tinker then asks if he is in trouble, but Sonic assures him that he is in the clear as Shadow departs. Rouge then takes her to leave as well by saying goodbye to Sonic and the Chaotix Crusaders, the latter of whom she assures that Eggman's discovery will be counted as their gig, meaning they get to keep the finder's fee, for which Vector is thankful.

Sonic discusses the name "Eggman Land" with Mr. Tinker, which the latter explains just came to him and thought it sounded like a fitting name for a children's amusement park. Although this makes Sonic wonder if it is a sign that his memories are coming back, Sonic nevertheless promises a hopeful Eggman that he will stop by from time to time.

"All Flotillas are heading into position," Orbot said.

Excellent, signal all my personal flagship. It's for me to join the Egg Fleet! It's to move to the next phase of my master plan!
