Reprinted stories
Sonic the Hedgehog · Flickies' Island, Part 3 #
With Tails captive, a Drakon Prosecutor steps through the Mobius Ring and demands who unlocked its secrets. Sonic frees Tails in the distraction, but the Prosecutor pins everyone with a gravity field and hauls Robotnik off for interrogation. Sonic's spin attack wins only a jolt of electricity before the pair vanish through the ring, which then dies. A scrap of armour left behind shows a face Sonic almost recognises.
First appeared in issue 106.
Super Sonic · Hunter & The Hunted, Part 3 #
Pyjamas's mind-link restores Super Sonic's demonic memories just as Bio-Hazard smashes through; Super refuses to tap Chaos energy again for fear of the urge to destroy. Before the teleporter fires, Lieutenant Furor recalls Bio-Hazard and bags Sidewinder's crew for a padded cell. Ebony hands Super the broom he originally came for — a job, not a planet-wrecking destiny.
First appeared in issue 118.
Amy & Tekno · Green Envy #
Amy and Tekno enter a solar-powered hover scooter at an environmental fair. A losing inventor chases them with his wood-chopping machine, and Amy stops it.
First appeared in issue 125.
Knuckles · Jake's Story #
First appeared in the Knuckles Knock-Out Special.
Sonic's World · Out of Work Hero #
Amy, Johnny and Tekno free Shortfuse from a lump of solidified lava at the Lava Loch Zone — he fell in when the electromagnetic pulse that ended Robotnik's rule cut his armour. Furious he missed the final victory, he tries civilian jobs and wrecks each one with Cybernik strength. A temporary portal opens seeking Sonic as champion of another world; Shortfuse flies through instead. Days later Amy tells Tekno he is out there being the hero he always meant to be.
