Original stories
Sonic the Hedgehog · Running Wild, Part 3 #
Cloaked and broken, Sonic nurses a cola in Spike's Place until bounty hunters unmask him and rage flips him Super again, flattening the bar. The Freedom Fighters - alive, having flown the biplane by remote - unveil a Star Post; Amy and the Kintobor Computer yank Super inside and peel the emerald fury off blue Sonic. Kintobor hints the demon may now stalk the Special Zone, but Sonic can only thank the friends who risked everything.

Knuckles · Troubled Waters, Part 1 #
Rowing home across the Mobian Channel with Plunder's document chest, Knuckles is swamped by sea-snake Badniks that smash his boat and the rock he climbs. Captain Claw surfaces in a crab-craft, keen on Robotnik's lesser bounty, and the snakes dock to form an eight-limbed Octonaught. Claw demands surrender while Knuckles treads water with nowhere left to run.

Tails · Changing Times #
Echo City looks ruined until Tails spots walls rising and folk running backwards - time itself is rewinding. He waits until the Trooper tank that caused the wreck has not yet struck, then touches the reverse-running machine and both explode into forward time. Citizens thank a fox who seemed to appear from nowhere; only Tails knows he rewrote the afternoon.

Sonic's World · Revolution, Part 4 #
Badnik Amy's wrist-bolts race at Sonic until his slipstream flings them home and cracks her shell free. Street-side, War-Armoured Robotnik and Brutus batter each other until liquid nitrogen freezes the traitor solid and one punch scatters the ice. Days later Robotnik broadcasts that Mobius is his forever; Sonic, watching, mutters never to say forever.
