Issue overview

Tekno upgrades the Ring of Eternity so travellers can select a destination rather than arrive at random. She chooses ancient Egypt, giving Sonic and his friends a deliberate trip into Earth's past.

Original stories

  1. Sonic the Hedgehog · Secret of the Gods #

    Tekno upgrades the Ring of Eternity so Sonic and Amy can choose a destination, and they travel to ancient Egypt, where three supposedly divine rulers are exposed as stranded aliens. Sonic takes Set's Staff of Power and helps the slaves reject their masters, but Set kills the more merciful Thoth and Hathor before following the heroes through the Ring. Set threatens Mobius, yet Sonic sends him back to Limbo; the overloaded portal destroys Tekno's equipment and ends the possibility of controlled journeys.

    Script: Lew Stringer · Art: Mick McMahon · Letters: Elitta Fell

    In Scourge Bay, Knuckles finds Plunder's chest really does hold Floating Island papers - yet instead of teleporting home he demands they return and free the Ghost Ship slaves.
