Meet Dr. Quack! Is the King aware of what’s going on around him? That’s the question as, in the Knothole Infirmary the gang holds vigil over the crystallized body of King Acorn. And in a small adaption of Blast To the Past (Sonic the Hedgehog – SatAM) we go into the kings mind as we see Sonic and Sally as children… Julian of the War Ministry was supposed to be overseeing the dismantling of that department; he, however,had other ideas – And changing his name to Ivo Robotnik, he staged a coup that would have devastating effects. And as King Acorn has been banished to the Zone Of Silence, he lets out a horrible cry… Sally has come to the conclusion that something’s bothering her father but she can’t say what. And thus we are first introduced to the Dream Watcher, a device that will have great ramifications in the upcoming Endgame story arc as Sonic has been assigned to begin a journey into the King’s head… Sonic and the King encounter each other in a space-like void, only now the King has no trouble recognizing Sonic as Sir Charles’ nephew. But before they can say thier hello’s enter – Warlord Kodos (Sonic #36) and Feist; One the former Warlord of Acorn and the other an evil being with a strange look! But is this all real or is there more to these strange attacks…
