Synopsis[]

Fang the Hunter along with Bean the Dynamite and Bark the Polar Bear are watching Sonic and are planning to surprise attack him. They untimely fail and Fang needs info from Sonic on the rumored eighth Chaos Emerald. Much to Sonic's annoyance, he assumes that Fang is referring to the Master Emerald. Considering him of no help to their hunt, Fang then leaves the hedgehog and him and his gang take off in the Marvelous Queen. Right after they leave, Tails flies over and informs Sonic that there was a battleship that attacked Marble Zone on South Island and vanished. Then Sonic and Tails rush off to their adventure. Later, Fang and his gang arrive at Angel Island and are looking for Knuckles to gather more info on the emerald. Fortunately, Knuckles is not on the Altar of Emerald. After seeing Knuckles is not home, Fang gets mad, while Bean and Bark have had enough of Fang's antics. Fang argues saying they would be no where without him; Bean responds recalling numerous times in the past where Fang has used them for saving himself. Fang would mention how they have had great times together, implying he cares deeply for his gang. Meanwhile in a small bush, a Clucky would warn Knuckles of their presence on the island, who replies that he is watching them. Later Fang's gang arrive in Mushroom Hill, and one by one they would be caught in traps set by Knuckles himself. This leaves Fang by himself, who challenges Knuckles to a battle.

Continuity[]

  • The rumored eighth emerald (an inconsistency introduced in Sonic the Fighters) is described in a variety of ways from Fang's sources, which reference different iterations of the Chaos Emeralds:
    • Fang notes that the rumored eighth emerald is either orange or gold, which are two colors used in Sonic the Fighters (Orange held by Tails and Yellow held by Bark).
    • Fang mentions that another source said the emerald was "kinda rainbowy" and contained other emeralds inside it. This is a nod to the intro of Sonic Blast, where a multicolored emerald is shown shattering into five smaller emeralds of different colors.
  • Bean mentions he wouldn't know what'd he buy after cashing in the eighth Chaos Emerald, bringing up the possibility of getting a "premium" soccer ball. Bean's love for soccer stems from his profile in the SEGA Official Books' Fighters Megamix Official Guide, while also alluding to his cameo appearance as a secret character in Virtua Striker 2.
  • Knuckles can be seen setting up traps on Angel Island, similar to how he would drop Sonic and Tails in pits using traps in Sonic the Hedgehog 3.
