Original stories

  1. Sonic the Hedgehog · Mission to the Metropolis Zone #

    With Commander Brutus AWOL, Sonic, Amy and Johnny slip into Metropolis Zone at midnight for sabotage - until a Trooper grabs Sonic from behind and only Amy escapes. At Citadel Robotnik the hedgehog and rabbit reveal the capture was bait while Amy wipes the Info Centre mainframe; Troopers seize her mid-delete, but her crossbow bolt misses them and hits the delete key instead. Computers explode, the trio flee the burning Citadel, and Robotnik is left with one more headache.

  2. Knuckles · The Ghost Ship, Part 1 #

    Captain Plunder's Sky Pirates chase the Ghost Ship of Tantaragor through a storm until lightning drops their mast and they plunge toward the Floating Island. Below, Knuckles asks Porker to mend the Emerald Chamber, but ancient tech defeats the pig - and a young bear reports a ship down east of the village. Assuming Robotnik, Knuckles races over and finds Plunder instead.

  3. Shining Force · The Curse of Zeon, Part 2 #

    Baron Kadavaar and his golem hunt Zynk across Granseal while, beneath Ribble, a Zeonite brooch-wearer shuts down the dig. Maximillian gifts Bowie his mithril sword, names him leader of a new Shining Force with Zynk, then Kadavaar bursts in, floors the youngsters and draws steel on Max - the man who once trapped Zeon.

  4. Tails! · Fox on the Run, Part 2 #

    Tails drops down the shaft after Tantrum, who screams so loudly a rockfall seals their exit and then blames the fox. Above, Fleabyte sweeps an infra-red scanner; below, a Crawlton attacks on a lava bridge, Tantrum flees, and Tails dumps the Badnik into the magma. When the bridge collapses under the mouse, Tails tries to haul him clear until exhausted wings fail and both drop toward the lava.
