Sonic the Hedgehog - "The Sonic Terminator, Part 2"[]

Synopsis[]

Captain Plunder and his Sky Pirates arrive at the North Cave in the Frozen Zone on South Island, having learned in the previous issue that it is the hiding spot of the Chaos Emeralds. Sonic and the Freedom Fighters arrive to protect the Emeralds, but Tails is captured by Plunder and Sonic is forced to let the pirates escape with the Emeralds.

Tails is concerned: the Emeralds are charged with pure evil and become unstable unless kept cold. Tails fears that the pirates will have been transformed into hideous monsters. Sonic follows them on Tails' Tornado biplane, only to discover the truth is quite different. The pirates have turned into peace-loving hippies, and seem quite happy to let Sonic take the Emeralds back since "Like, all property is theft, right?" Sonic realises that the Chaos Emeralds absorb evil, not radiate it, and he quickly gets them back into the cold.

Meanwhile, back in the Emerald Hill Zone, disaster strikes! The Emerald Hill Folk flee from a mysterious figure that bombards their homes with lasers. As it descends, it is revealed as Metallix, the Metal Sonic. It demands to see Sonic, claiming "It is time for his extermination!"

Sonic's World - "Prologue: Once Upon a Planet..."[]

Synopsis[]

A narrator, later revealed to be the Kintobor Computer, explains about the location and history of planet Mobius, distinguishing it from Earth by claiming that Mobius is "117,63222 light years from the Earth", in a parallel dimension, in a different time zone, and in a region made up of dark matter.

Mobius was completely unspoiled before the appearance of Doctor Robotnik. It is made up of various continents, each of which is divided into areas called Zones (such as the Green Hill Zone. The Hill Zones (including the Emerald Hill Zone) are located on South Island, where many Mobians live and where Sonic keeps his secret underground base.

Robotnik himself, after several defeats by Sonic, set up his headquarters in the weird alternate dimension known as the Special Zone. From there he rules Mobius and coordinates his operations. However, he has set up minions to run some of the most important zones, like the Marxio Brothers in the Casino Night Zone.

Also mentioned if the Miracle Planet (known by some as the Little Planet), which appears in orbit around Mobius just once a month then fades away. Nobody knows where it goes to. This Miracle Planet is home to the Time Stones, and Robotnik has plans to find them and use them to control time itself and become unstoppable.

In summary, Robotnik rules the planet, even though he no longer has the Chaos Emeralds. Still, everyone knows that someday Sonic will take care of Robotnik for good and free the planet. "Believe it!"
