Sonic the Hedgehog · Project Brutus, Part 2 #
Sonic's speed pulls Amy and Johnny clear of Brutus's opening volley in the Pleasant Zone; they quickly realise the Commander thinks and speaks like Robotnik himself. Brutus tracks their heat trail while, at the Citadel, Robotnik fumes that his new lieutenant left without orders. After Brutus shrugs off a collapsing building, a Trooper seizes Amy and Sonic surrenders; a piercing summons forces Brutus to report that he has done what Robotnik never could and captured the outlaws for execution, only for Robotnik to demand they be kept alive.
First appeared in issue 64.
Knuckles · The Homecoming, Part 2 #
Knuckles shows Zachary the Island and the Emerald Chamber, burning with questions the old echidna defers until he has rested, warning that the robot still hunts him. That night Knuckles confirms from ancient scrolls that the machine is a Guardian robot of his own people; it smashes through the wall, knocks him senseless, and Zachary claims it fled for the Emerald Chamber. They arrive just as the robot wrenches free the Master Emerald and shatters it to pieces.

Tails · Trooper Trouble, Part 2 #
Chained in a Trooper shuttle, Clive's screwdriver kills the manacle power - and the engines. Tails flies them clear while a parachuting Trooper shoots its own canopy to pieces. Clive returns the conned tax money; Wood Village cheers his tinkering, and Tails leaves a hero of sorts behind.
First appeared in issue 86.
Sonic's World · Cybernik Strikes Back, Part 2 #
Tekno takes Shortfuse to her hidden workshop, agrees to build his bomb, and upgrades his Megatal armour with fresh gloves, boots and shoulder pads. Three days later they strike the Chemical Plant Zone: Shortfuse clears the Balkiry defenders while Tekno plants the charge. Before they can flee, Metamorphia attacks in the shape of a hulking armoured warrior, with the plant set to explode in minutes.
