So after Belle and Motobud go beserk and Sonic fights off Belle for a little bit, Tails comes up with a solution to bring Belle back to her senses...

While she loses control of herself, Belle receives a message from Eggman to all of the badniks to go to an unknown location to build an army, but because her memories of where the place is located are already starting to fade upon regaining control, her and Sonic and Tails decide to follow Motobud to where the signal wants them to go.

While Sonic and Tails are busy fighting off against the other badniks, Belle succeeds in cutting Motobud’s power, and in the process of doing so, she finds a letter from Mr. Tinker that he put inside of Motobud for her to find...

We also got this cover for it a while back, and while it took me a while to figure out what might be going on it, re-reading the solicit made me realize something...

So the solicit for this issue mentions that a signal makes all of the badniks go wild, and although I didn’t think about this until just now, what that and this cover implies is that because Belle is technically a badnik herself, she will also go wild and turn against Sonic and Tails. We don’t know much more about it though, and the solicit for Issue 50 doesn’t really mention anything about it either, so as for whether or not it will be a temporary thing for the next issue or two is unknown. 

Also, on the topic of Issue 50, it’s been revealed that Issue 50 will be getting a whopping EIGHT variant covers, one of which is by Nibroc.Rock, which is pretty cool.
