Amy and Tekno travel together

Amy Rose and Tekno the Canary become a regular pairing after Amy's solo stories and their shared Star Struck adventure. Spaced Out takes them away from Mobius to find Shortfuse amid an alien conflict. Earthbound follows their attempt to get home, after which the pair headline a succession of shorter stories before Breakout returns to Shortfuse's struggle with his armour. Their run gives the comic a partnership built around Amy's initiative and Tekno's inventions, with room for adventures beyond Sonic's fight against Robotnik.

    Sonic the Comic #112

    Light-years from Mobius, Amy and Tekno find Shortfuse aboard an Insectra starship — under the thrall of a green Controla-Crawly on his chest. He blasts Amy's crossbow apart and marches them before Grand Emperor Dark Visor. Amy distracts the emperor while Tekno works; soldiers firing at her hit the parasite instead and free him.

    The Insectra ship lies crashed after Blurrgh fire; Dark Visor and Jello Wobbla nearly make peace, then agree to keep their ten-thousand-year war going on the planet's surface. Peaceful Kaamdaarn natives forbid fighting, and neither side's weapons will work in the planet's energy flow. Amy, Tekno and Shortfuse floor both armies unarmed; the troops quit the war and settle with the Kaamdaarn. Shortfuse stays hoping their calm energy can free him from his armour, while Amy and Tekno look for a way home.

    Lost on the way home from the Kaamdaarn, Amy and Tekno crash a borrowed map-ship on a blue planet and meet friendly Professor Cratermass.

    Bored in Starwatch cells, Tekno blows the door with an Explosive Earring; they free Cratermass, dodge Granite, and flee in the hangar's two-seater with the Professor clinging outside. Back at his house they finish the infra-space gateway; Amy and Tekno dive through, and Cratermass deletes the program so Granite cannot follow. Amy later tells Johnny Lightfoot Earth was fine for a day trip.

    Amy and Tekno investigate Old Hill Zone's empty house after locals hear terrible wailing and nick it the Haunted House Zone. Inside, falling gargoyles and masonry lead them to the source: Fabian Vane rehearsing a comeback. His singing weakens the foundations until the building collapses on his demo tapes; Amy notes he can at least say he brought down the house.

    Norris Wimple tells the press he has snapped a UFO before the film is even developed; D.R.A.T. snatch him in case the shot shows one of Robotnik's secret weapons. Amy and Tekno free him after Tekno nets the lead mini-saucer and reprograms it to trash the kidnap van. The print turns out to be Tails, who rather fancies the likeness.

    Issue 118 · 16 December 1997

    Sonic the Comic #118

    Robotnik sends Badniks after Tekno rather than Sonic; she ducks into her workshop for a Multi-Image Creator that fills the Zone with holographic Teknos until the robots shoot each other. He forces her to hand the gadget over by threatening Amy — then learns it only projects images of Tekno and smashes it in a fit. Amy notes you cannot be everywhere at once.

  12. Cover of Sonic the Comic issue 119

    Issue 119 · 17–30 December 1997

    Sonic the Comic #119

    Shortfuse comes home through Tekno's temporary Inter-Planetary Warp-Gate with Kaamdaarn guest Amber just as new-model Badniks hit Emerald Hill. When they seize a villager, Amber's yellow glow turns the robots peaceful and they leave to spread cheer — including a Silent Night chorus that gives Robotnik a headache. Amber cannot rewrite a heart with no love in it, and her influence will fade when she goes.

  13. Cover of Sonic the Comic issue 120

    Issue 120 · 31 December 1997–13 January 1998

    Sonic the Comic #120

    On New Year's Eve Amber returns to Kaamdaarn through the closing Inter-Planetary Warp-Gate, first loading Shortfuse's Cybernik suit with a psi-tech release program so he can climb out whenever he chooses. Shorty, Amy and Tekno head for a Metropolis Zone knees-up until Party Pooper arrives with his Magnetic Ray — a giant horseshoe magnet on tracks — bent on stopping the city bell so 1998 never comes. Amy and Tekno puncture the plan, Shorty floors him bare of armour, and a crestfallen Pooper resolves to turn over a new leaf; the magnet's stray pulse meanwhile restarts imprisoned Vermin the Cybernik, who smashes free swearing revenge.

  14. Cover of Sonic the Comic issue 121

    Issue 121 · 14–27 January 1998

    Sonic the Comic #121

    Vermin the Cybernik runs riot across the Metropolis Zone; Shorty reluctantly seals himself back into Cybernik armour so Amy and Tekno can bring him to the construction-site scrap. Vermin plugs his tail into a generator and powers up, then takes Shortfuse's bait and tries to drain him — soaking up the release program instead so his own suit cracks open. Shortfuse hauls the rat free, blasts the empty armour to scrap from inside, and is locked in his suit once more; Amy bags the powerless Vermin mid-bolt for Robotnik.
