All For One Part 3: Deep Cover[]

Synopsis[]

The ChaotixVector, Espio, and Charmy– are surrounded by the Sand-BlastersJack Rabbit, Avery the Bear, Jolt the Roadrunner, Shift E. Wolf, and Tex the Lizard. Jack Rabbit tells the Sand-Blasters to capture the Chaotix. Charmy is caught by Avery, while Espio is caught by Shift. Vector, however, fights until Jack puts his gun behind the crocodile. They chain the Chaotix together and bring them to Sand Blast City.

While taking there, Vector comments on how embarrassing the fight was. Charmy comments on how they typically lose in fights, while Espio snaps at Vector for partying all night long at the Hideaway. Jack tells the Chaotix that those who come and join the Sand-Blasters will be alright, but those who don't get buried in the sand. He then tells them the latest two members of the group, Mighty and Ray (who are codenamed "Flex" and "Jitters," respectfully). Vector, happily to see "Flex", goes towards "Flex" and nearly blew "Flex"'s cover, but the armadillo snaps Vector's mouth back. Jack asks "Flex" if he knows who the Chaotix are. "Flex" says that they are his old crew, who which he went away to have a new life. Jack tells "Flex" that the Chaotix are his to either release or to fight with.

Later, Mighty explains to the Chaotix that he and Ray have been "undercover," thus taking the code-names "Flex" and "Jitters." He says that the night he escaped from Deerwood Forest is the night he sneaked into Snottingham Castle to look on the Eggnet for his sister's location. Espio comments on how he just recently did that and said that his sister is located here. He went under-disguise to get clues about his sister. In fact, he was going to infiltrate The Baron's fortress to find his sister. Vector then states that the Chaotix are back together and that they'll watch Ray while Mighty is gone.

Later on, during the night, Mighty sneaks out into The Baron's base. Vector and Charmy cheer up Ray, telling him that he'll gain a new sister when all of this is done. Mighty walks up to the gates of the Baron's fortress, only to get caught. Mighty destroys several tanks and, strangely, asks to get arrested by them. At the Baron's room (with a certain Freedom Fighter silhouette in the background), Mighty tells the Baron that all he wants is his sister. Baron, shocked, tells the guards to get his sister. Matilda the Armadillo walks in, and asks the Baron what is the message. Mighty goes up to Matilda, hugs her, and tells her that she is his sister. Matilda pushes back Mighty and tells him that he is not her brother, for she was an orphan, then she was roboticizted, then de-roboticizted, and finally, the Baron found her, and she was then legionized. Matilda asks to go back to bed, and the Baron says yes.

Mighty, who is at the edge of a break-down, is treated kindly to the Baron, and must be arrested due to his destruction. Mighty agrees and is put into a jail-cell. He then cries, alone, in his jail-cell. In the morning, Jack yells at the Chaotix and Ray, asking where "Flex" is at. Espio tells him that Jack can exchange the Chaotix for "Flex," who is arrested at the Baron's fortress. Jack agrees, as they have done this way too many times before, but only, it will be their final time, as they will be putting a rest to the Baron's forces.....

Trivia[]

  • When Mighty meets with Beauregard, a silhouette resembling that of Bunnie D'Coolette is seen in the doorway, possibly indicating that she is living with the Dark Egg Legion.
  • The Dark Egg Legion is referred to as part of the "Eggman Army", possibly due to legal issues going on at the time involving Dark Legion creator Ken Penders. Additionally, a mention of Julie-Su's also appears to have been removed; Mighty was about to refer to her by name before Vector cuts him off.

Trivia[]

  • Jack Rabbit's quote on the front cover is a reference to Bugs Bunny's famous quote "Eh... What's up, doc?"
  • This issue is the first Archie Sonic publication to sport the "Sonic Comic 20th Anniversary" logo on the cover.
    • One could also notice that the final cover is darker than the original cover.
  • The Sonic & Mega Man: Worlds Collide logo mistakenly put "4" instead of "3" on the cover, as they indicate the number of months until the crossover event. This mistake is also present on the Sonic the Hedgehog #245 cover.
  • Mighty and Ray receive new designs in this issue. Strangely, Mighty's appearance on the cover doesn't reflect this. In fact, the variation of his old design that appears on the cover is never seen anywhere else.
