The comic starts with [[Sonic the Hedgehog (Archie)|Sonic]] and [[Moss the Sloth|Moss]] racing each other through the [[Rocky Jungle Zone]], Sonic calls Moss an old man and believed he had lost the sloth a mile back. Despite Sonic's speed, he is almost beaten by Moss. Moss explained that his speed came from knowing the land, and that he let the land help him, rather then overpower it. Sonic argues that he's gotten through much thanks to his speed, and that it's his answer to everything. Ray replies that Mighty and himself have changed for the better thanks to Moss. Sonic does admit he needs help with his transformation, to which Moss replies that he must learn acceptance to control the beast inside him.
[[Sonic the Hedgehog (Archie)|Sonic]] and [[Moss the Sloth|Moss]] are in the middle of a race in the [[Rocky Jungle Zone]]. Sonic calls Moss an "old man" and thinks that he already lost Moss a mile back. The race continues for another page and Sonic wins, with Moss close behind. Sonic thinks "going fast" is the answer to everything, which Moss, [[Mighty the Armadillo (Archie)|Mighty]] and [[Ray the Flying Squirrel (Archie)|Ray]] reply to by explaining what has been changed in all of them. Sonic just wants to learn how to "control" his transformations, which Moss says that what Sonic needs to learn is acceptance. The comic switches over to [[Doctor Eggman (Archie)|Eggman]] yelling at [[Thunderbolt the Chinchilla|Thunderbolt]] about how she failed miserably to kill Sonic and his friends, and to secure the Chaos Emerald. Thunderbolt in response says that she did not know about [[Sonic the Werehog (Archie)|Sonic's transformation]]. After telling Thunderbolt to find a [[Gaia Temples (Archie)|Gaia Temple]] or suffer, Eggman goes on to talk about how he misses his roboticized minions. [[Orbot (Archie)|Orbot]] then proceeds to tell Eggman about how his sub-bosses are gaining land, and then pulls up a comparison to normal fuels energy output vs. Dark Gaia energy. Switching over to [[Sally Acorn|Sally]], she tells the team about another [[Chaos Emerald (Archie)|Chaos Emerald]] that Eggman has found. [[Miles "Tails" Prower (Archie)|Tails]] thinks they should wait for Sonic, but everyone else thinks that they'll be better off finding the Emerald without him, since they aren't sure if he has control over his transformation yet.

At [[Doctor Eggman (Archie)|Eggman]]'s base, Eggman is yelling at [[Thunderbolt the Chinchilla|Thunderbolt]] for failing at killing Sonic and losing the [[Chaos Emerald (Archie)|Chaos Emerald]]. She replies that she didn't expect Sonic's change into the [[Sonic the Werehog (Archie)|Werehog]]. After he's finished yelling at her to find a [[Gaia Temple]], [[Orbot (Archie)|Orbot]] and [[Cubot (Archie)|Cubot]] tell him that his robots have actually claimed quite a bit of territory, which please Eggman. He states that maybe splitting the world was the best thing he's ever done. He is pleased further when he learns how powerful [[Dark Gaia (Archie)|Dark Gaia]]'s energy is. He starts to create a plan to gather all of Dark Gaia's energy to one spot so he can use it.

In the [[Sky Patrol]], [[Sally Acorn|Sally]] is briefing the [[Freedom Fighters (Archie)|Freedom Fighters]] on their progress with the Chaos Emeralds. [[Nicole the Holo-Lynx|Nicole]] shows the team that the [[Egg Army]] has the Blue Chaos emerald, and is being prepared for pick up. [[Antoine D'Coolette|Antoine]] points out that it is close to the last Egg base they attacked, to which Sally replies that it is too good to be true. [[Rotor the Walrus|Rotor]] is all for going after it, but [[Miles "Tails" Prower (Archie)|Tails]] wonders if they should wait for Sonic. The others reply that they'd help Sonic get better from the Dark Gaia energy inside him by fixing the world faster. A unanimous vote is taken to go get the Chaos Emerald. Sally splits the Freedom Fighters into two teams: Antoine, [[Bunnie D'Coolette|Bunnie]] and herself as [[Team Freedom]] will go for the emerald, while Tails, Amy and Rotor will be there backup as [[Team Fighters]]. [[Cream the Rabbit (Archie)|Cream]] wants to know what [[Cheese (Archie)|Cheese]], [[Big the Cat (Archie)|Big]] and herself can do. Sally tells her the three of them have come a long way, but there is no way she'd let them come on this mission.

  +
Back at the Rocky Jungle Zone, Sonic is sliding down a waterfall on a piece of wood. He then proceeds to bounce of a tree and land in front of Moss, [[Ray the Flying Squirrel (Archie)|Ray]] and [[Mighty the Armadillo (Archie)|Mighty]]. Moss states that he's impressed, and Ray says that Sonic is fast at everything. Mighty and Sonic have a little friendly argument before Mighty seriously states how proud he is of Sonic. The mood quickly turns mellow as Sonic points out that the sun is going down. Moss and the others give Sonic some last minute advice and encouragement before Sonic turns into the Werehog. At first it seems that Sonic isn't in control, but it quickly becomes clear that he's in control. After studying himself and letting out a loud howl, he challenges Moss to another race.

  +
As Moss and Sonic once again race across the Rocky Jungle Zone, one of Thunderbolt's scouts is watching them through a pair of binoculars. Thunderbolt, still fuming over being crushed by Sonic, has had a new robot created for her to take down Sonic.
  +
  +
Meanwhile, at the [[Sand Hill Zone]], Team Freedom are closing in on the Blue Chaos Emerald. Sally orders Bunnie overhead to watch from above while she and Antoine move in. Just as everything seems peaceful, Bunnie is hit by [[E-108 Iota]]. Antoine calls out to her, but is blocked by [[E-109 Kappa]]. Sally calls for a retreat, but is knocked down by [[E-110 Lambda]]. The comic ends with Sally face down while Lambda closes in.

Sonic does admit he needs help with his transformation, to which Moss replies that he must learn acceptance to control the beast inside him.

At Eggman's base, Eggman is yelling at Thunderbolt for failing at killing Sonic and losing the Chaos Emerald. She replies that she didn't expect Sonic's change into the Werehog. After he's finished yelling at her to find a Gaia TempleOrbot and Cubot tell him that his robots have actually claimed quite a bit of territory, which please Eggman. He states that maybe splitting the world was the best thing he's ever done. He is pleased further when he learns how powerful Dark Gaia's energy is.
