Sonic the Hedgehog #39
A Royal Surprise (Part 1 of 7)
All was good back home, but Sonic wanted to know the deal about Sally, and he picked a wrong time for she was depressed about the brainwash thing. Once again, Sally refuse to tell about her sword, or this Nagus. This time led to the most heated argument they ever had, Sally even gave Sonic a slap heard around the world. Ashamed what she did, Sally cried and ran. When Sonic ran after her to apologize, helicopters surrounded them; that wasn't GUN's. In came a skunk knows as St John, telling her to come with him. When Sonic was about to fight, Sally obeyed and told Sonic to stay out of it. Sonic rushed back to the others to get the Tornado ready, but Bunnie and Antoine seemed to know who this St John was. When he was about to question them, in came a surprise visitor that came warn them concerning Sally. A visitor Sonic thought vanished before his first adventure...
...Uncle Chuck.
The islands scheme
In Eggmanland, Dr Eggman discovered a strange energy signal coming from a barren island...or used to be a barren island. The island suddenly held a beautiful green kingdom; The Acorn Kingdom of Knothole Island, that was said to had been destroyed to nothing. This pleases Zachary, as this falls to his plans that concerns Angel Island with Knothole Island. So while Eggman will check out Knothole Island, Zachary, Julie, and Lien shall attack Angel Island with an army of cloak-wearing echidna robots Eggman built. Watch out Knuckles; the Legion is back...
...or in this case, the Dark Legion.
Knuckles the Echidna #1 (0f 7)
Dark Legion
With the island back on the air, Knuckles resumes his duty as guardian...or trying to. Knuckles was surprised that the echidna clan survived, but in another dimension. Yet he's unsure how, and sad that they're so far. But Knuckles found a stowaway on his island, but the friendly and familiar kind; Mighty the Armadillo, and two Knuckles never met, jittery Ray the Flying Squirrel, and so-called warrior of JUSTICE, Honey the Cat. And a lucky thing too, for a large group of cloaked beings came and attacked to steal the ME. Though they were easily defeated by the four, and Tikal, Knuckles was miffed that the robots were designed like echidnas. Will he discovered the meaning of this mockery?
Coming of the Chaotix
Vector, Espio, and Charmy got word that cloaked beings stole Star Posts from GUN storage facilities. They questioned casino owner, and sleaze, M. Gamble if he knew anything. From what they got, former Legion member, Lien, kept bragging in his casino that they were going to use the Star Posts to transfer their robot army and weapons to Angel Island.
Off to Angel Island the Chaotix goes.
Sonic the Hedgehog #40
A Royal Surprise (Part 2 of 7)
Sonic has no idea how to react to Uncle Chuck's return - even less when he discovers Sally is the heir to the throne of the Kingdom of Acorn. But when Uncle Chuck mentions Sally could be in danger, Sonic knows how to react to that: get into the Kingdom! Our collected heroes use their collective skills and abilities to sneak through Knothole's defences, which does not endear them to Geoffrey St John. However, he does his duty first and, realising they're here & won't leave, promptly drafts them as Secret Service Auxillaries to protect Princess Sally. Unfortunately, another group has breached security: Eggman and his robot minions, planning to "replace" Sally and covertly take the Kingdom!
Long Live The Queen?
Years ago, the Kingdom of Acorn was warped into the Void by by its treacherous Master Magician, Naugus, so he could ensure dominion - to the outside world and to an escaping Sally, it appeared destroyed. Now, Naugus has been deposed after years of conflict and the Kingdom is restored; but King Acorn was wounded in the attempt and must pass the throne. As his eldest, Sally is in the running to become monarch, and - though conflicted over the sudden return of her old home - she accepts. But Geoffrey informs her that there's a problem: Naugus still has his allies, they'll be trying to kill Sally before she can be crowned, and they could be anywhere...
Knuckles the Echidna #2 (0f 7)
The Hunting Party
Informed by the Chaotix that Zachary and his minions have transported themselves somewhere on the Island, Knuckles goes on the offensive. Splitting himself and his allies into groups, they begin methodically sweeping the island's Zones for any sign of the Dark Legion. In the process, Knuckles finds himself being hunted by Legion minions - but his strength and knowledge of the island soon turn the tide! The end result is Zachary's base being under siege, and the villain responding by... offering an armistace and a team-up to bring the Echidnas back to the Island?!
Sonic the Hedgehog #41
A Royal Surprise (Part 3 of 7)
Princess Sally is getting ready for the ceremony that shall make her queen while King Acorn continues to lie on his death bed.

The ship belongs to none other than Captain Plunder and his band of Sky Pirates, whom need more members and have chosen Big to be one!

Knuckles the Echidna #3 (of 7)
Alliance
Dr. Zachary has revealed that his intentions have always been to bring the echidnas back to Angel Island, even if his methods were rather...extreme. Knuckles believes Zachary, (though he still has his doubts) and asks what they need to do. Zachary tells Knuckles that he needs the Master Emerald to power a dimension-travelling gate that he built, and they'll use it to create a portal to the Nameless Zone. However, Tikal does not believe Zachary at all and wonders what his true reasons are for wanting to bring the echidnas back to Angel Island...
Hey there! I thought that maybe we can also come up with 'quotes from the comic series' once in a while. To make our comic summaries seem like they're real comics...or just do it for fun.
Sonic the Hedgehog #38
Eggman: "Sonic, do you think you have the health to stop me; especially after your girlfriend did a number on you?"
Sonic: *battered* "Heh! It'll take...-puff-...more than ol Acorn-Breath...to...slow me down....andshesnotmygirlfriend!"
Sally: *battered and supported by Sonic* "...Jerk."
Tails #4
Tails: "Knuckles!! What were you thinking?! Why did you let Meph get to Iblis like that?!?"
Knuckles: "B-b-but...they have echidna enchiladas."

Sonic the Hedgehog #42
A Royal Surprise (Part 4 of 7)
Sonic and the gang were in quite a fight, as their new opponent, especially Nagus' Chaos Magic, were too much for them too handle. But help came, and a unexpected and unintentional one; Eggman and his new Egg Carrier. Studying the energies of the Void and Nagus, his ship teleported Nagus and his lackies to his Egg Prisons. But it wasn't long before Nagus sent himself and the Egg Carrier to the Void. Wanting to know what was going, Sonic argued with Uncle Chuck. He led him and Sally to the Royal Grotto, where the Power Rock, a product from a Chaos Emerald Chuck tried to make, lies in the water. There was also a machine there that kept the kingdom and its people from going back to the Void, for it was still under Nagus' control. Meanwhile,
the Egg Carrier made its way back to Mobius, as Eggman was prepared for that. He also planned the attack, for it was a distraction for Tails Doll to sneak in and take control of the Royal Grotto.
The Lost Uncle
Many years ago, when Sonic was just a young brown hedgehog (Mobian hedgehogs start out like that before changing color through puberty), he and his Uncle Chuck were mere travelers. That is until a dark storm hit on the beach they were in, and separated Chuck from his nephew. Nagus has pulled Chuck to the Void, with the Acorn Kingdom. He wanted his revenge on the old hedgehog, for his technology 'replaced' his magic in the kingdom. Chuck was confused, saying that Nagus helped him with that, and wondered how he suddenly became twisted. The knighted hedgehog, throughout the few years, helped the king thwart off the wizard until Chuck found a way to use the Power Rock he made to make a generator to send them home. With the king and his men battling the wizard, Chuck got the machine to pull the kingdom back to Mobius, leaving Nagus stranded for a while. Finding out his nephew made a name for himself, Uncle Chuck set out to seek his help.
Knuckles the Echidna #4 (of 7)
Corporation
To make sure Knuckles doesn't try anything funny, Zachary warned him not to let his friends come with him, and let Julie watch him. Uncomfortable with her watching him, Knuckles asked what's her deal with Zachary. Julie reveals that she and her sister Lien are clones of Tikal. Why Zachary did that, she didn't know, but didn't care. Knuckles pitied her, for she's just a puppet; which set off her temper as she showed that she's skilled in weaponry. Exhausted from their bout, Julie wonders why Knuckles is letting himself trust Zachary. Knuckles is desperate for his kind. He's...lonely. With the Master Emerald in Zachary's machine, he reveals his true intentions. He doesn't wanna open a portal for them to the Nameless Zone. He wants to bring Abilon to Angel Island...which he did.
Cue a shocked Knuckles and a confused Tikal.
I'll give this a try:

Only Geoffrey, Sally and Sonic are able to get into the Grotto, and Sally is conflicted to find that she can't go - if she's killed or injured, the Kingdom becomes more vulnerable than if she stays!

Sonic the Hedgehog #45
The Royal Goodbye (Part 7 of 7)
While the coronation re-sets itself, Sonic and Sally talked about Sally keeping her past a secret (She wanted to forget), and how she has to stay. But then Eggman arrives with his Egg Carrier, unleashing a battalion of Badniks all over the kingdom. Sonic and Tails preps up the Tornado, but finds they have a stowaway; Sally. She wanted to fight with them one last time. Storming inside the Egg Carriers defenses, Sonic and Sally then battles Eggmans EGG-WYVERN (The last boss on NextGen, Sonics story). With Sallys wits and Sonics speed, they succeeded defeating Eggmans weapon and destroyed the Egg Carrier. Little did they know, Eggmans attack was only a distraction so they wont notice a little something Tails Doll planted in the Grotto. But the Sonic Heroes victory ran shortfor Angel Island has arrived.
Mr Big (Part 2 of 2)
Unfortunately, Big spent his battle running away while the crimelords battles with the Sky Pirates. But everywhere he turns, the crimelords wanted a piece of him. But fear not, for his pirate gang was there to protect him. But all the commotion attracted the cops; and they somehow got word that Big led the Sky Pirates. Now with Big on the wanted list, he has to stay with the pirates. But luckily Big showed them to true meaning of life
FISHING!!!
Knuckles the Echidna #7 (of 7)
With a special bomb that will destroy only those Zachary thinks is unworthy of the Dark Legion, Knuckles had to race around Albion to find the bomb. Meanwhile, Tikal was trying to free the Chaotix, but had herself surrounded. However, Honey the Cat and Mighty the Armadillo managed to escape earlier, and helped the female to rescue the others. And it was just in time too, for Knuckles was being detoured by Julie and Lien; cyborg improved; though some of Tikals reasonings seemed to have got through Julie a little. But with the shield surrounding the city, Knuckles channeled the ME to punch a hole through the shield and throw the bomb out. Sadly, the shield was also what kept the city in this reality, and it vanished back to the Nameless Zone, leaving Knuckles saddenedand Tikal missing. Of course, Zacharys mission wasnt a total failure. While he had some of the echidnas at his disposal, the micro device he left in the emerald, all along led the island towards Knothole Island.
Sonic Super Special #3
Island Peril.
Wondering what was going on, Sonic and his friends arrived at Angel Island, sharing their tale with Knuckles. Knuckles had no idea why or how the island flew to Knothole Island. But little did they know, this was part of Plan C; for Eggman caused all that trouble in Knothole Island to place an ancient artifact of Zachary in the Grotto. The reason; a evil god reigned the echidnas once. Finally sealing him, with the help of the Acorn Kingdoms ancestors, they placed a lock that was impossible to unlock. First, Angel Island needs to be over Knothole Island, then they would need to use twice the essence of Tikal; hence the Tikal clones. And finally, the staff of the evil one needs to be in the heart of the Acorn KingdomEnerjak has awakenedand to be trapped in Eggmans Egg Prisons so Eggman and Zachary can harness the god. But even it couldnt imprison the godbut Nagus, who escaped from the Void, can give him a fight. But these evil beings were ripping all reality apart. Using the ME, Super Sonic and Super Knuckles fought the god and wizard, but it wasnt enough. Tikal realized that if her essence was the key, then she needed twice the power; and Julie, who quit the Legion after being used as a sacrifice, was just the person. Meanwhile, the Grotto gave Sally back her sword. Using the ME, the sword, and combining the two echidnas, Super Sally was able to stun the two beasts just enough for the boys to lay the smack down, while Holy Julie used her power to trap Nagus and Enerjak in limbo. But the battle destroyed Chucks generator, and the Acorn Kingdom faded back to the Voidonly this time without Chuck and Geoff. Also, after depowered, Tikals essence is trapped in Julie. How will Sally cope again, and will they get Tikal back?
Sonic the Hedgehog #46
Pan-Dimensional Road Trip!
Thanks to Tails' knowledge of the Cosmic Interstate, our heroes have a way to reach Knothole and get it out of the Void - and so our heroes split into two groups, with Sonic & Sally leading one deep into the multiverse! This is going to be a difficult mission... and what happens when the Anti-Freedom Fighters get in the way?! ...well, they get easily beaten up. But what happens when they run into something worse...?
The Legend of El Grando Gordo! 1 (of 4)
With the bulk of his enemies off on the Cosmic Interstate and GUN still rebuilding, Eggman is in a prime position to do some conquering! Minor robot attacks on military bases, banks, power stations and oil rigs across the world keep his enemies off-balance and tired while he prepares his big plan... but there's a new enemy shattering his robots! He's a luchador legend! He's a heroic heavyweight! He's El Grando Gordo - and since he's blatantly Eggman in a luchador costume, Eggman wants to know what the hell is going on!
Sonic the Hedgehog #47
Law of the road
Indeed they run into something worse; a bossy zone cop by the name of Zonic. While he arrested the Anti-Sonic Heroes, he warns our heroes that, not only using the interstate without permission is under violation, but getting to the Void would be impossible. Even with Nagus imprisoned, his created zone is within a field that cannot be penetrated. Until his force finds a way to get the kingdom back to where it belongs, the gang cannot do a thing to save them. Much to Sally's grief, they return home, with hope that the Kingdom of Acorns will return; where Sally can return.
The Legend of El Grando Gordo (Part 1 of 4)
Eggman is furious; for not only someone is mascaraing him, but in ridicules wrestling clads. Eggman has no clue to who would dare; for he has no enemies he's aware of. But when he spots the luchador, Eggman sends in Metal to follow him. But he discovers that not only this Eggman impostor is a fake, but is a shapeshifter known as Metamorphia.
Me and my dreams
Rich yet lonely Chris Thorndyke sleeps, wondering if joining the gang led by rich tycoon Bartaby was wise. Since his parent was never home, and he had no friends, Chris joined a gang that seemed to understand, even if they steal. But as he dreams, he is watched...
...by a flying jester.
Sonic the Hedgehog #48
Uneasy Riders Part 1 (of 2)
He's failed to save Knothole and help Sally, who's taking a temporary leave of the Freedom Fighters to sort herself out. He failed to stop GUN being shattered. He failed to save Tikal or Shadow. After all that, Sonic is adamant about one thing - he is going to succeed in winning the First Annual Chaos Grand Prix on Resort Island! Our battered heroes' self-esteem lies on winning this. So it's a bad thing when his old rival Jet the Hawk turns up - the only guy who could ever match Sonic in a race! This is going to be one vicious match! (And who the heck let Big into the race? Can he even run?!)
The Legend of El Grando Gordo! (Part 3 of 4)
Metamorphia was a creation of Eggman's years ago, who he shot and dumped years ago when her massive crush on him freaked him up. She survived and her hero-worship of Eggman had an odd influence on her mind. Now she's El Grando Gordo, her idealised version of her boss - and a major pain in his butt! So he sends Scratch and Grounder to take the luchador out... only for them to defect! they want a nicer boss and their "obey Eggman" program allows them to work for his exact double so now Gordo has a crime-fighting team! Even more of his schemes are now being foiled, and Eggman may have no other option... except to answer his foe's challenge to battle in the wrestling ring!
Sonic the Hedgehog #49
Uneasy Riders (Part 2 of 2)
We find a intense race between Sonic and Jet. However, he and his Babylon Rogues tend to cheat. While Wave waits for Sonic to cross planted dynamites, she was stopped by something green; Manic the Hedgehog. No special reason, he just didn't like cheaters. Sonic has won the Grand Prix, for his esteem's sake, and was rewarded the throphy by millionare Bartaby, and his bodyguard/girlfriend, Sonia the Hedgehog...as well as Manic. With the throphy at home in Uncle Chuck's new apartment, Sonic wondered why do those hedgehogs seem familiar?
The Legend of El Grando Gordo (Part 4 of 4)
The ring was set for Dr Eggman and El Grando Gordo (Aka: Metamorphia). Its brawn, and shapeshiftng abilities, versus evil genius. Eggman relied on many of his inventions he hid under his sleeve, and two of his Metallix (Metal Sonic and Knuckles), but Metamorphia's skills, followed by Scratch and Grounders insane goofiness was a match. But Eggman laid a surprise; a ray gun that disabled the morph-nanos that allowed her her power, thus returning her to a normal Mobian. She refused to give up as she tried to reason Eggman that she sees good in him. Of course Eggman ignores, but in her puddle of tears, he saw a purple hedgehog smirking at him, Sonic-like, it instantly made hos blood boil; he was oblivious that his eyes glowed red, frightening the non-powered girl away. Is it true, does Eggman has good inside of him? Will he realize this? Probably not.
Knuckles the Echidna #8
Soul-Searching

Knuckes, along with Julie, makes it their goal to find this echidna and bring back Tikal...course Knuckles took the ME with him while Chaos guards the island.

Sonic the Hedgehog #51
Beginning of the dream
Although he had no idea how those dumb media knew about his question about Manic and Sonia, one thing was certain, he knew they had some connection with him and Aleena. But as he went to sleep, young kids were robbing stores while Bunnie, Antoine, and Rotor tried to stop them. But without Sally to help guide them, they were easily taken down by Lightmare and Walt Wallabee. Their boss, Bartaby and Sidewinder were pulling the strings as the kids went back to their hideout. One of them was a troubled boy, Chris Thorndyke, who fell to sleep and dreamt of being in a strange world...with Sonic. A giant serpent monster attacked, and was too much for Sonic.

...a prisoner named NiGHTS.
Meet Mina

Tails however got to meet two of Rotor's new friends; grumpy Aussie: Barby the Koala, and shy girl: Mina the Mongoose, who played quite a game with Tails. But trouble blasted through the doors; trouble named Bean and Bark. But before the battle was won, when Barby nearly got caught in the fire, her savior came in a yellow streak.

But since Walt Walabee and Barby Koala left, the gang hasn't been the same, but at least Crocobot was finished...or so they thought as the bot visited to catch up on his destructive schedule. Can Knuckles and Julie stop him? Duh!!
Amy Rose #3 (of 3)
Storytale Havoc
The final battle begins as Amy and friends dish it out against Erazor and Void.

Erazor was finished, but Void managed to escape. His plan to bring him to the real world, then to Nightopia failed. As reward Shyara granted the girls, and Shortfuse, three wishes. Sadly, their wish to either free Shorty and Bunnie of their Megetal armor, bring Sally's home back, or get Sonic to love Amy was beyond her powers. But Amy was given the power to briefly turn invisible (So to sneak up to Sonic), Cream was given a supirior Chao, Cheese, and Tekno and Shorty was given clues to the Megatel, and it starts the Chaos Emeralds. Meanwhile, Void still has other plans back for the dream world, and it starts with a young handicap girl who has the Red Idyle.

Sonic the Hedgehog #53
Dreamcast: Part 2 of 4
Sonic tries to escape his own personal nightmares and the guilt of his many failures, but the only way to do that is to realise that he can't keep dwelling on them - he has to let go if he wants to move on. With the help of NiGHTs and Chris, he manages this, but the threat's not over. Not when Void just dispatched Reala, the Anti-NiGHTs!

Sonic the Hedgehog #54
Dreamcast: Part 3 of 4
They were able to prevent Void from entering Claris, however Void managed to separate Chris from NiGHTS, thus awaking the boy. And just in time, for The FF arrived Sidewinder and Bartably's hideout. Bartaby, Sonia, and Manic escaped for good, but not only Lightmare and Walt Wallabee had to be dealt with, but so will Mr Fry (A Drklye and Hyde knockoff), and BioHazard. But have no fear, Tails and the Chaotix are here, for the Chaotix were hired by the Thorndykes to find Chris. But also Barby, and Mina, whom overheard Tails coming here. It seems Barby had a score to settle with Walt. Also, Mina made a slight substitute for Sonic, against Lightmare, even though she cant control her speed. But Chris needed help, for he needs to get back to sleep in order to help Sonic. And they need to do it fast, for Reala found a new Red Iydle wielder; the president's daughter, Helen.
The Truth Is In Here (Part 2 of 3)
But it seems the landings were fake; the ships were decoys as the GUN agents, and Eggman's bots found out. Luckily, Eggman was able to locate the source; a lone Meterex who was on a scouting mission, to find any ways to deal with the 'decendant' of Aleena, and the traitor Julian. And it did, finding half of Julian's essence in the Black Chaos Emerald, owned by Snively. But so has Eggman, inviting himself with his mech and bots, but so has the Commander and his squad. And he, Commander Colin Kintobor, recognized Snively, his son, and Eggman, his brother, who seemed to have no memory of having a brother, or most of his life. Again, the Meterex feared Eggman and fled back to space, and so have Snively to wherever, but the Commander found it the opportunity to take down Eggman for good and riding the name of Robotnik filth once and for all. Will Eggman win? Will he figure out what the heck the Commander is talking about?
Knuckles the Echidna #13
Knuckles Sandwich
Still searching for Angel Island, Knuckles and Tikal takes a break at Bert's Diner in Hill Top Zone. Knuckles was still sore that Julie gave away her life like that, but the pain was added when Julie's sister, Lien, and a couple of Dark Legionares dined, mocking them about Julie's death. Furious, Knuckles took his rage on them, but then came Zachary who wasn't here for a fight. Zachary found out that a Meterex briefly returned, which can only mean the greatest evil will awaken soon. This evil was defeated by the legendary Queen of Mobius, but the evil split its power and essence in the Chaos Emeralds. But throughout the years, most who used them also was plagued by the evil. And someone was collecting the evil with the mythological Black Chaos Emerald. Chaos was cleansed, but the other two were locked away which is good for now. He ask, in order to prepare, Knuckles must find the Crown of Acorn and the Sword of Acorns. Since the sword was already known to be at Sally's hands, the crown they must find. But unknown by them, the next wielder of the evil's essence will be fished out soon by some alien fishes who have come to take back what they created...the Chaos Emeralds.
Sally Acorn #1 (of 3)
Queen me
In Uncle Chuck's new diner, a depressed customer, Sally, sulks over her lost home. However St John, who unjoyfully works in the diner, suggest something to cheer her up. Years ago, when Naugus attacked, King Acorn told his daughter to take the sword away. But the crown was whisked away by her brother, Elias. Come to think of it, she didn't see her brother after that. That settled, she and Geoff goes off to find the crown and her brother. But little did they know, so have Naugus' lackies, who haven't been locked away with their master. Warlord Kodos wants the power of the sword and crown for himself.
Sonic the Hedgehog #55
Dreamcast: Part 4 of 4
If Void conquers Helen's mind and the Red Iydle within, it's game over - and until Chris falls asleep, Sonic's the only hope. His only option is to reach Helen's inner self first, and get her to lend her Red Idyle - allowing Sonic the limited ability to reshape the immediate dreamscape! Now there's a Emerald Coast and Riot Train "Zones" with an array of mini-games blocking Void & Reala's progress, because while he can't defeat them without Nights he can at least be really annoying. But when Nights finally arrives, it's up to Helen and Chris to find the strength of will to finally banish Void and his creations... but too late, they find out this will cost Nights his life. Unless Sonic can find a way to save him really quickly - and here, now, in a reality shaped by thought and dreams, he can!
The Truth Is In Here (Part 3 of 3)
Years ago, a kindly scientist named Ovi Kintobor did experiments with the Chaos Emeralds... and found out too late the ancient evil within them - that of the Metarex traitor Julian, killer of planets. From that day on, Dr Kintobor was Dr Eggman, infused with part of the evil. But, reveals his old brother Colin, he can be changed back. But, reveals Eggman as he shoots his brother, he knows all this... and doesn't care. Being evil is fun! At least, this level of evil - he doesn't want Julian to return by taking him over, nor to rise again in another form and mess up Eggman's good times. He has plans to avert this, and his brother the GUN Commander can help with them - after his brain gets a little, shall we say, washed...
Knuckles the Echidna #14
Judge, Jury and Prosecutor
Knuckles begins his quest, disgusted at having to team up with Zachary (who's hardly happy about it either...), but tracking the Crown down is proving... tricky. Admittedly, most things are quite tricky when an alien strikeforce called the Drakon Prosecutors attack you without warning! They want "their" Chaos Emeralds back, and for some reason view Knuckles as the target - and that is going to cost them. Plus, Zachary's called in some "expert help": the Chaotix detectives!
Sally Acorn #2 (of 3)
Brother In A Strange Land
The last confirmed position of Elias was near a small, rural community named Feral Forest on the outskirts of the kingdom - and Sally & Geoffrey are slightly surprised to find Elias never left. He's even got a wife and child. The reunion is, let's face it, awkward, and not just because Elias' infant daughter just puked up on Geoffrey. Sally and Elias have been apart for so many years and their lives have taken such different directions that it's hard to find common ground - and while Elias is willing to give over the Crown, he's unwilling to leave Feral Forest. Unfortunately for all concerned, Kodos and his minions are very willing to kill, maim and destroy until they get the Crown, and our heroes are outnumbered!
Sonic the Hedgehog #56
Awakening
Thanks to Sonic's dream-like speed, Nightopia, and Nights were saved. Awakening, Sidewinder and some of his crew were arrested, and the children were returned back to their homes. Though the Chaotix left, Sonic was greeted by Tails' new friends and was impressed by Mina's speed (Especially since she's not as fast as him), telling her that he might help her control her speed. A goodbye, Sonic and Chris shared, for Sonic was glad all was well without fail this time. However, he was disappointed that he haven't got a chance to speak with Sonia and Manic; maybe make them change sides. But that will have to wait for the news warned of a incoming invasion...by the Drakons.
Prepare
With GUN Commander Colin captured by Eggman, the GUN plans a rescue mission. But with the following invasion from the Drakons underway, they'll have to postpone it. Making reluctant Agent Topaz temporally commander, they set off to prepare for these aliens. Meanwhile in Eggmanland, Dr Eggman was thrilled to have a 'family member' on his side; a brainwashed Colin Kintobor. Somewhere in Westopolis, a starfish-like eye alien senses its brethren, the Drakons. The creature can sense his body they imprisoned, and it needs the seven emeralds to get it back. Black Doom needs to gather them, and the only ally he has...is Shadow???
Knuckles the Echidna #15
Court Smackdown
By the time the Chaotix arrived to the rescue, the Drakkons have already took the echidnas to their ship. While Tikal and the Dark Legion are prisoned, Knuckles is hereby on trial for his kind using their Chaos Energy without the Drakons permission. And their court system ways are a battle to the death. His prosecutor, a giant golem mech. Can Knuckles prove himself 'innocent'? Meanwhile, while the Chaotix try to find out how to get to the ship, unlikely allies arrives; Sally, Geoff, and Elias and his family.
It all began...
A war-civilization, who seek nothing but total rule of the universe, the Drakkons, found a way to use the raw Chaos Energy from the Special Zone to their will. But some individuals wanted it for their own selfish gain, as a Drakkon guard tried to take the energy for himself. But one loyal Drakkon tried to stop him, and they both fell into the vat of Chaos Energy, mutating into a watery and black creature, Devil Doom and Perfect Chaos. Their battle shattered the city, but the Drakkons managed to seal Devil Doom with Chaos Tap, a jewel that was meant to contain Chaos Energy. Chaos on the other hand fled to the stars...but little did he knew, Doom's Eye followed.
Sally Acorn #3 (of 3)
Now King me!
Not only were Sally and the group were outnumbered, they were overpowered by Kodos and his lackies. Sally managed to bring the Sword of Acorns, but since it works only against Chaos Energy, the sword now is just a normal weapon. But when things looked hopeless, Sir Connery, a loyal knight of the Acorn Kingdom, fought with them. He gladly sacrificed his life to let the gang escape. Their flee ended short as Kodos and his group caught up; but Sally's sword activated near a Star Post, sending them all to the Special Zone. And they left them there too, when Sally found a Chaos Emerald, and ended up where the Chaotix are, helplessly standing under the fleet of Drakkons. Sally knows that the sword repels Chaos Energy. But now they have the crown, she has to figure out what it can do.
Sonic the Hedgehog #57
You Are What You Eat
With the Drakon threat emerging and Eggman operating to an unknown agenda, both GUN and the Freedom Fighters are on high alert and waiting for the inevitable attack. But even alien invasions don't stop everyone getting hungry, and so the Freedom Fighters order in a takeaway... and collapse! The ruthless Destructix gang, under the control of Drago Wolf, have deliberately poisoned our heroes' food with the French Frirus bug in order to ransom the city - no money, no antidote, and then no heroes to save them from the crisis! But the Frirus didn't reach Sonic (he sticks with chilli dogs!) and he's out to get the antidote from them. It's a race against time, and not just because of the poison - Scratch & Grounder are also out to fight the Destructix and save the day, and their bungling attempts could accidentally destroy the antidote!
Knuckles the Echidna #16
The Haunting
Knuckles has been released after being the first guy in a century to be proven innocent via Drakon trial-by-combat, and now thanks to his allies the Crown and Sword of Acorns are in Zachary's hands. Not that anyone trusts Zachary to not have his own agenda, of course... and so Tikal is keeping a beady eye on him while Knuckles and Chaotix go searching for the Chaos Emeralds before the Drakons reach them. But their first attempt takes them to the mysterious Hang Castle, where laws of physics and reality break down, and where horrific supernatural forces are at work. Forget reaching the Emerald - our heroes and the Drakons may need to focus more on getting out alive!
Sonic the Hedgehog #58
Fish Attacks
With the Destructix out of their hair, the Sonic Heroes prepare to defend the world from the incoming Drakon Invasion...starting with Westopolis. They and GUN are under heavy assault while they try to get the citizens to safety. But when one citizen that Tails recognizes, Mina, is being gunned down, Sonic and Tails are off to the rescue...and are in a shock. Shadow is back and alive?? But he's not here to save the day, nor is he on the Drakons' side. He's after Mina, who has a Chaos Emerald. Can Sonic and Tails save her? They'll have to get through the Drakons first.
Knuckles the Echidna #17
Child management.
Their next stop for the emeralds takes Knuckles and the Chaotix to Frog Forest. But the Drakons are not too far behind as they comb the jungle. But Knuckles find that he's not the only one hiding. The Destructix are there, or at least Snoop the Doggy and Fly the Frog who escaped the cops. But they're leaded...by a little girl?!? Meet Nic the Weasel, who looks like Nack, but is much smarter, and she proved it by easily outsmarting the Drakons. But the aliens have a little surprise to make her surrender; a hostage that she haven't seen in most of her life: her brother, Nack.
Sonic the Hedgehog #59
Fish in a Barrel, Part 1 of 2
Having claimed the Chaos Emerald from Mina, Shadow proceeds to devastate the alien invaders with his powers, which are far greater than anyone remembers. With the Drakons at his mercy, Shadow gets ready to finish them off. But Sonic, unable to witness such wanton cruelty even against them, steps forward to challenge them. The question is, can he stop Shadow?
Knuckles the Echidna #18
A Deal with Darkness, Part 1 of 3
With the Drakons on the run, Knuckles looks forward to some relaxation with Tikal. There's just one problem: as it turns out, Julie didn't really die when Athair brought Tikal back. She was instead given a body of her own, and is now eager to be reunited with Knuckles and Tikal. Unfortunately, Julie's new body is considered the property of Zachary's brother, Dr. Finitevus. And, aside from being a sorcerer while his brother his a technocrat, Finitevus is just like him...except that he is also even more insane, if it's possible. With his friend trapped, and two white Echidnas sharpening their claws to settle their longtime rivalry, can Knuckles save the hero who helped Tikal return?
Sonic the Hedgehog #60
Fish in a Barrel, Part 2 of 2
Nothing can stop this new Shadow, not even the mighty Super Sonic! But as the black hedgehog continues to massacre the Drakons, GUN doesn't think anyone should stop him, and forces the Freedom Fighters to back off and think of the greater good. But Sonic refuses to allow mass murder (and who's Shadow going to beat up afterwards?), and if brute force can't stop Shadow... maybe an emotional tack might work! And so Sonic reminds Shadow of his old friend Maria, causing Shadow to collapse as half-forgotten memories come back, breaking his 'programming'. Meanwhile, as the Drakons regroup with heavy losses, Eggman arrives to make a pitch for an alliance (secretly for his own ends, of course!); and Black Doom is mildly annoyed at losing control of Shadow. But it's no big problem... not when he has a whole room full of Shadows in stasis tubes!
Knuckles the Echidna #19
A Deal with Darkness, Part 2 of 3
Finitevus and Zachary duke it out in a grudge match that's been brewing since they were born - and while Zachary wins this round, Finitevus plans to use Julie-Su as a pawn to help him in his next strike! And the good doctor can easily cause her new body to cease existing; if she wants to continue living, she's his slave! And so Knuckles does the only thing he can. He demands Finitevus lets go of his hold on her... and he can have Knuckles' life instead! Is our hero really about to sell himself into slavery or death, or does he have a plan...?
Sonic the Hedgehog #61
A GUN-structive time (Part 1 of 2)
It was with regret that GUN medical officials inform Sonic and his friends that the 'Shadow' that lie in bed was decaying, as in that wasn't the real Shadow. But Sonic refuse to believe he was dead, because that Shadow remembered something about himself. And he couldn't be right, because in Doom's Eye's secret lab, a Shadow in some generator was repeating what he remembered, or his clone, at the city. Not that Doom noticed, because he sent another Shadow to infiltrate GUN base and retrieve that emerald. Just in time, because his 'brethren' was attacking GUN base, with their new ally, Eggman. And what's worse, they can come out of nowhere through Warp Rings. Its a fight, as Sonic has to defend the base against robots and aliens, plus a brainwashed Commander Colin Kintobor. But while they're distracted, the clone Shadow sneaks into the base. Doom's plan to get all the emeralds to get his body back will be complete soon. Will he have his revenge on the Drakons and rule the galaxy?
Knuckles the Echidna #20
A Deal with Darkness (Part 3 of 3)
With Knuckles forced to be on Fini's side, they prepare to lay one final strike against Zachary. Fight against the Legion bots were on thing, but against Zachary, who donned some robotic armor, was another. But Knuckles only joined because he heard Zachary has a way to free Julie. But as epic battle was about to be won by Knuckles, he was shot...by Julie. All of this was a trap layed by both Finitevus and Zachary, and Julie, in the hands of evil pulled the trigger on Knuckles. But luckily, all was a dream, and Knuckles found himself back in the forest with Tikal, Zach and Lien(Da). It seems that dream mean that Knuckles was not over Julie's death. Zachary says that his brother, Finiitevus had to be from Tikal's time like he was. Plus, he died during a echidna war, which was one of the reasons he betrayed and attempted to kill the remaining echidnas with his virus. That deserved him a punch...by Tikal. Lien was amused, saying that Tikal was illustrating Julie's rage. She's still alive, inside of Tikal. She can even see Julie in a reflection of Tikal. All that is moot, for Zach told Knuckles when the Drakons knocked him out, they took his Master Emerald (Like he'll leave that on the island?) and captured the Chaotix. The echidnas managed to escape them with Knuckles. Obviously, Knuckles needs to get them back.
Quote:
But luckily, all was a dream
...three issues and it was all a dream? What? That doesn't even fit the rules, specifically "Try not to purposely destroy the flow of the stories".
Two issues, and weren't they 'supposed' to be searching for the Chaos Emeralds before this?
It's hardly a big thing if the search gets diverted for a bit, when they can go straight back to it afterwards. "It was all a dream!" just means they haven't done anything and since they've now woken up in jail they can't search for anything for at least one more issue (when they can break out). What was the point?
Sonic the Hedgehog #62
A GUN-structive time (Part 2 of 2)
Sonic has successfully saved the GUN base, driven the Drakons back, and captured Eggman - unfortunately, the Shadow clone got the Emeralds. Now, thanks to many machinations, Doom has them all and he's regained his body! The Drakons are fleeing the planet in a blind panic, a room full of Shadow clones has awoken, a storm like the mythical Day of Fury is spreading across the world, and Sonic has just been thrown by Doom into another reality & the door barred behind him! It's a world sort of like his own, where an even fatter Eggman rules from Robotropolis, the class-ridden society lives in fear of roboticisation, and the resistance is a literal band-of-brothers (and sister). Better adapt fast, spiky, because the only way to get back to your Mobius is to not die in this one!
Knuckles the Echidna #21
Out Of The Frying Pan, Into The Fire...
Knuckles wants the Master Emerald and his friends back. The Drakons want to not all be turned into fish-and-chips by the empowered Black Doom. It's time for a deal, one Zachary is happy to broker - the Drakons will charge Knuckles with their chaos energy, while he can stabilise via the Master Emerald, and he'll stop Doom for them. In return, he gets his friends & stuff back. Of course, both Zachary and the Drakons intended to secretly use this as a way to use Knuckles to further their own objectives... so it's a real problem when the process goes wrong, and the super-powered echidna casually destroys the Drakon force's weaponry & exoskeleton suits, teleports Zachary away, and declares he's no longer Knuckles. Now, it's Enerjak VS Black Doom for the fate of the planet! (Mobius is screwed)
Sonic the Hedgehog #63
Journals of the Underground (Part 1 of 4)
As Sonic struggles to find a way back to his home dimension, he teams up with his siblings in the alternate Mobius, Sonia and Manic, in an effort to help them face their own enemies. The alternate Eggman becomes determined to learn the secrets of his miraculously changed nemesis, as this Sonic proves more formidable than his missing counterpart from that dimension. Speaking of which, Underground Sonic appears on the normal Mobius, where he is faced with Sonic Prime's confused friends-who think that their hero has come back with a few screws loose-and an army of Shadow clones doing battle with the Black Arms while their master faces off with Enerjak!
House Call
Sent to an unfamiliar realm by Enerjak, Zachary learns why Knuckles dreamed of his brother despite having never met him before: Finitevus is, in fact, alive. Having survived Tikal's long ago attack using his mystic arts, he has been in hiding for some time, secretly infiltrating Knuckles' thoughts with his telepathy. Enerjak's emergence is, in fact, his doing, and he already has plans to place Enerjak at the head of the Dark Legion and posing as his advisor while secretly manipulating him the entire time. Before he does so, however, he has a vendetta to settle with his brother...
Knuckles the Echidna #22
Two Evils (Part 1 of 2)
Enerjak and Black Doom continue their struggle as Knuckles' friends and the Dark Legion watch helplessly, unsure whether they should root for their former ally-or the enemy who may be their only savior. During an interlude, Enerjak announces his intentions to restore the Echidnas to power over Mobius, and begins by creating a brand new body for Julie-Su's spirit, which he then transfers from Tikal. Unfortunately for the would be hero, Black Doom decides to pull out all the stops by undergoing a bizarre metamorphosis...into a monstrous new form called Devil Doom.
Sonic the Hedgehog #64
Journals of the Underground (Part 2 of 4)
With Sleet and Dingo proving as incompetent as ever, the alternate Eggman turns to a new weapon: Metal Sonic! Meanwhile, Sonic tries to adapt to this much different Mobius, and the fact that people who knows at home are his siblings here. Does that mean...? But no time for introspection, as the Sonic Underground are off on a major mission, one involving a secret rock concert; as well as bringing hope to the masses, a specific riff on Ziggy Stardust will be the signal to awaiting Resistance cells! But when Metal Sonic crashes the party, Sonic has to battle him - and in this reality, with a robot copy of this world's Sonic, that means a guitar battle, and our Sonic lacks the experience of his counterpart! Can he prove himself a Guitar Hero (TM)?!
True Blue, Honest
His name is Sonic. Unfortunately, he's the wrong Sonic and the apocalyptic situation is confusing the heck out of him. But whatever world he's from, Sonic is determined to save lives and fight evil. Battling the Shadow hordes alongside the Freedom Fighters, he proves himself to the sceptical that he is indeed a Sonic (though Tails remains disgruntled). Unfortunately, that may not be enough when the news of the Devil Doom/Enerjak battle comes in...
Knuckles the Echidna #23
Two Evils (Part 2 of 2)
It's Devil Doom VS Enerjak for the fate of everything and everyone! It's Doctor Zachary VS Dr Finivetus in the astral plane for the role of manipulative villain! It's Tikal trying and failing to convince the Dark Legion that the transformed Knuckles can't be trusted! It's an all-out action issue here, and both Enerjak and Finivetus win their respective battles. The world has been spared the conquest of Doom - now it faces the, er, conquest of Enerjak. And that's bad enough without Finivetus finding that now he's transformed Knuckles into Enerjak, the villain isn't actually bothering to listen to him... You thought the situation was bad before, wait until next month!
Sonic the Hedgehog #65
Journals of the Underground (Part 3 of 4)
Sonic manages to defeat Metal Sonic with his guitar, but is so wearied by the experience that he can't fight his robot double's reinforcements. Sonia and Manic fight to save their otherworldly brother, but without their Sonic their fighting styles prove flawed and they are forced to flee. With Robotnik closing in on the trio, their only hope is to seek out their mother Aleena, whose magical abilities may prove the key to restoring Sonic to his dimension and saving Mobius Underground-if they can get to her before Robotnik does...
The Untouchable Opponent
Underground Sonic accompanies the Freedom Fighters to the Floating Island, where he finds Enerjak in charge of the Dark Legion with the Chaotix, Tikal, and Julie-Su forced into his personal staff. Freeing their allies, the heroes prepare to launch a desperate attack on their corrupted friend, but there's a major hitch: the alternate Sonic, who can't find the will to do battle with an alternate Knuckles...because the one he knows is engaged to Sonia.
Knuckles the Echidna #24
Deals in the Dark
Dr. Finitevus finds himself in the position he's always wanted: he all but rules over the Dark Legion as Enerjak's "advisor", but knows that in truth the mad Echidna only keeps him around because he finds him useful-for now. Not about to give up on his chances for power after all these years, Finitevus decides that he must learn how to use his magic to dominate Enerjak as he intended, and for that he'll need to deal with the devil; Devil Doom, that is.
