Original stories
Sonic the Hedgehog · Worlds Collide, Part 1 #
Sonic remembers that the Transportation Belt is their route home and confronts Robotnik, who has built its components into a Dimension Blender. The machine is intended to make Shanazar occupy the same space as Mobius, allowing Robotnik to seize the merged world during the confusion. Nack and Grimer subdue the heroes, while Princess Kupacious is turned into a frog when the magic gems in her new necklace thwart her attempt to stop Robotnik.

Reprinted stories
Captain Plunder · Shanghaied, Part 2 #
Fry batters Plunder's crew flat, then tenderises a hauled-up shark for the grill and erupts if anyone calls him Speckle. Simpson steers him to the galley; crispy steaks calm the Captain, who apologises for the plank until Fry shrugs that it was Speckle who walked it. Leftover Transforming Serum, Filch discovers, went down shark throats - and the enlarged pack now rings the hull.
First appeared in issue 92.
Tails in · Zonerunner & The Big Freeze, Part 1 #
A floater drone jolts Tails awake with Sab's holographic plea from Chemical Plant Zone — Nutzan Bolt wants revenge and the Flock needs help — before an explosion cuts the message. Donning his Zonerunner coat and microputer, he rides the drone into a Zone smothered by chemical cloud and unnatural snow, finding the Flock hideout bombed to rubble. Sol Furic appears behind him, claims every Flock member is dead, and Tails realises the sheep may still serve Robotnik.
First appeared in issue 48.
Sonic the Hedgehog · Count Down to Disaster, Part 2 #
Metallix flees Hidden Palace with the Master Emerald, dares Sonic and Knuckles to follow, and teleports them into Sky Sanctuary. Emerald-charged, he floors Knuckles and outpaces Sonic until he must recharge — Sonic reaches the gem first, becomes Super Sonic, and tears the robot apart. On Death Egg II, Grimer reports Metallix lost, yet the Emerald already sits on the teleporter; Knuckles wakes to Super Sonic's rage as worse news looms.
