“The Detourâ€
Writer: Nigel Kitching
Artist: Richard Elson
Sonic and Tails are looking for a place to land the bi-plane, but because of a mass of fog they can’t even see the land. They manage to find a gap in the fog and head for it, but the place they end up landing in isn’t like anywhere they’ve ever seen before. Tails comments that trying to find a way around this fog is worse then being stuck in a maze, when the fog clears to reveal they really are in a maze. Then Tails starts to tell Sonic about a story he read where a minotaur lived in a maze, when a minotaur turns up and tries to squash them. They manage to escape and Tails says they were lucky it wasn’t a yeti that attacked them when a yeti does attack them. Sonic says can handle one, and Tails comments it’s a good thing he didn’t bring his tribe. And low behold his tribe turns up. They run to hide in a cave while Sonic wonders about everything Tails says coming true. He runs out to say the games up when one of the Tantaror reveals himself. He tells them they must do what he wants, but then his father turns up telling him he can’t have pets until he knows how to look after them. So Sonic and Tails get sent back to Mobius.
