Sonic twirls upward and leaves behind light particles as he travels through time and space. He blinks into existence as he enters the past.
Upon arriving in Royal Hills Zone, Sonic witnesses Metal Sonic kidnapping a female chipmunk. And Sonic continues to chase him down.
Despite being damaged, Metal Sonic flies into the air, attempting to escape. However, Sonic catches him by surprise when he jumps onto a red spring and is launched into the air.
Sonic attacks Metal Sonic, freeing the girl from his grasp. Sonic catches her in his arms after landing on the ground.
Metal Sonic, however, crashes into the ground. Having sustained enough damage, Metal Sonic has shut down and a Time Stone pops out of his chest.
Sonic reassures the girl that everything is alright before she opens her eyes. And upon opening them, she is infatuated with Sonic.

Sonic holds the Time Stone that Metal Sonic was using as he stands near the deactivated robot. He then turns his attention to the chipmunk girl when she thanks him and states that her name is Alicia.
Sonic immediately realizes that he's interacting with Sally's mother in the past. Alicia then asks if he's a knight of the Acorn Kingdom and for his name.
Sonic boldly gives his name, seeing no consequences to revealing his identity in the past. As far as he was concerned, everyone in his present timeline would think he was named after someone in the past.
Alicia formerly greets Sonic and kisses him on the cheek, referring to him as ``Sir Sonic.''
