[edit] Summary
[edit] Story One
- "Saving Nate Morgan"
Sonic tosses Sergeant Simian's grenade (thrown at the end of the last issue) into the skylight of the juice bar, where it explodes harmlessly. Sonic and his friends go to King Max to tell him that Nate Morgan was kidnapped by the escaped convicts from Devil's Island Gulag (Flying Frog, Sergeant Simian, Lightning Lynx, Predator Hawk, Drago, Sleuth Dawg, Uma Arachnis, and Kodos, under the orders of Snively). Geoffrey St. John insists that the escaped prisoners perished, while Doctor Quack provides information showing they may still be alive. King Max assigns the Secret Service to rescue Nate Morgan, but when they arrive at the escapee's hideout at Big Kahuna Island, they find Sonic already there with his bi-plane. After an argument between Sonic and St. John, Sonic is allowed to join the mission on the condition that he cooperate with St. John. However, Geoffrey's plan is to order the felons to surrender, thus making Morgan a hostage and placing him in further peril. Sonic protests, and fights Geoffrey, when Prince Elias, who came along in disguise, steps in. The combined force of Elias, Sonic, and the Secret Service confronts the escapees, and a battle ensues. Meanwhile, in an orbiting sattelite, Robo-Robotnik activates the R-Sat, causing a gigantic squid mutate to rise through the floor and attack both good and bad on Big Kahuna Island. The mutate is vanquished by Bomb going off (Bomb is unharmed, as he simply transfers to a new body), and Snively is presumed dead. Most of the criminals are captured, but Kodos and Uma Arachnis escape in Sonic's bi-plane with the remains of Croc-Bot, with Predator Hawk shown flying alongside.
[edit] Story Two
- "Statue Of Limitations"
- As the story begins, Sonic narrates that this is a dream. He is flying his bi-plane over Sandblast City, when it dissolves into nothingness. He falls towards the giant statue of himself, which is cackling madly at him. He falls through the mouth of the statue, and lands in a world where even the leaves on the trees are shaped in his image. Surrounded by obsessed fans, he is taken to the Sonic Adventure Archivists, who catalogue his adventures. The Archivists discuss some of their differing viewpoints, but agree that Sonic "can do no wrong." Sonic then wakes up, and invites Tails over to talk to him. Sonic expresses feelings of failure over leaving Sandblast City open for the robians, and Tails comforts him, saying he doesn't have to be perfect, but that it's just about being there when you're needed.
