Original stories

  1. Sonic the Hedgehog · The Big Decision #

    Porker returns his black jacket and quits the Freedom Fighters after a month as Metallix prisoner left him broken; Sonic snaps that he is soft, then storms out while Chaotix leave after Nack without even asking him along. Troopers club the concussed hedgehog and catch Amy and Johnny too, until Porker wires a puddle and drops the lot. Next morning Sonic sees him off to Mushroom Hill with the Emerald Hill Folk, and admits soft is exactly how he wants him.
