The story begins in Echidnaopolis, where Knuckles has used his connections as Guardian to give Julie-Su and her step-parents (Simon & Floren-Ca) a very nice apartment to live in. While the group is admiring the view from the balcony, however, we find out that Dimitri is dying.

In the hospital, Kommissar is visiting Dimitri. He tells her that she doesn't have to be her "usual treacherous self" even though they both know that only Knuckles can save Dimitri. If Knuckles doesn't do what Dimitri needs him to do to save him and Dimitri dies, Dimitri asks Kommissar to continue the path that he set for them. After a moment of silence, she closes her eyes and promises.

Elsewhere, a certain dingo cabby named Harry is off-duty and says as much to Mammoth Mogul when Mogul asks for a ride. However, Mogul offers Harry a valuable piece of gold and that gets Harry's attention. Mogul wants to be taken to the Dark Legion and Harry asks Mogul to forget him once he's done.

Meanwhile, Knuckles and Julie-Su run into the Chaotix. Mighty and Espio update the echidna pair on Dimitri, while Vector doesn't even care. Knuckles basically says that they have to care, and when Vector objects Julie-Su insults him. Vector gets mad and threatens Julie, so she takes him down in response. Then, Julie-Su explains that having Kommissar in charge of the Dark Legion would be a lot worse than Dimitri.
