Sonic fights with some swatbots, complaining that he's wasting his time.
Robotnik watches Sonic, explaining to Snively that the swatbots were sent to help
him find information. Grabbing piles of printed paper, Robotnik unveils
his newest creation: a Exceptionally Versatile Evolvanoid, or E.V.E.
for short. E.V.E. was made out of "sub-microscopic component parts," which
are hard to destroy. Robotnik gives E.V.E. the data he collected, and she
begins to execute her programming.
Sonic and Tails walk outside, talking about the defeated swatbots.
After Sonic asks for a challenge, a robotic hand appears from the ground
and grabs his leg. The robot looks similar to a swatbot and starts
shooting at Sonic. Sonic runs to a tree and gets the robot's attention.
The robot fires at Sonic, who runs out of the way. The tree falls
onto the robot, destroying it. Sonic decides to head back to Knothole
to ask Rotor about the new robot.
Robotnik is not disappointed by the robot's defeat, knowing that E.V.E.
will perform better next time. He explains to Snively that E.V.E.
was created from his brain cells and cells from one of Sonic's quills.
A robot begins to form from the ground. Sonic and Tails continue
to walk until they hear a robot approaching. The robot, which looks
like a buzzbomber, begins to shoot at Sonic and Tails. Sonic runs
up a cliff as the robot follows close behind. The robot is unable
to stop, crashing into the cliff. Sonic and Tails look at the robot,
which appears to be changing again.
Robotnik is still not worried, knowing that E.V.E. will continue to
surpass her limitations. Sonic appears behind Robotnik, and another
robot appears (which looks like a cobra). The robot wraps itself
around Sonic, squeezing him. Using a Sonic spin, Sonic escapes and
manages to tie the robot snake into a knot. The robot begins to transform
again.

E.V.E. appears and introduces herself. Continuing, she says
that she will surpass her limitations and that her main limitation is
Robotnik. Robotnik is shocked and says that he was the one that
created her. E.V.E. says that Robotnik's cells did not give her intelligence
but a sense of evil. As a result, Sonic's cells, which gave her logic,
overpowered the effect of Robotnik's cells. E.V.E. knows that she
is not Robotnik's servant and shoots laser beams from her eyes. Robotnik
disappears, leaving only a trail of smoke.
E.V.E. decides to fulfill her programming by destroying Sonic.
Sonic tells her that her main limitation is her own programming.
If she is able to surpass her programming, then she can take advantage of
all of her potential. E.V.E. agrees with Sonic's theory, then disappears
into outer space.
Tails is impressed with Sonic, who says he was just lucky. They
leave Snively to mourn the loss of Robotnik. Yet Sonic can't help
but think that it isn't the end of Robotnik.
