====Part One==== |
====Part One==== |
||
| + | An amnesiac [[Sonic the Hedgehog (Pre-Super Genesis Wave)|Sonic]] attacks [[Sally Acorn (Pre-Super Genesis Wave)|Sally]] and [[Rotor Walrus|Rotor]] in [[Freedom HQ]], believing that they're evil rebels trying to overthrow [[Doctor Ivo Robotnik (Pre-Super Genesis Wave)|Dr. Robotnik's]] government. Sonic easily takes down Rotor, but Sally puts up a fight. [[Miles "Tails" Prower (Pre-Super Genesis Wave)|Tails]] and [[Bunnie D'Coolette (Pre-Super Genesis Wave)|Bunnie]] are stunned to see them fighting, and Bunnie quickly rushes in to help Sally. She, Sally, and Tails manage to restrain their friend and beg him to stop, but he uses his speed to spin around send the trio flying, knocking out the girls. Tails manages to stay in the air with his flight, but is quickly taken down when Sonic hits him with a [[Spin Dash (Pre-Super Genesis Wave)|Spin Dash]]. |
||
| − | [[Sonic (Archie)|Sonic the Hedgehog]], having developed amnesia in the previous issue and having been been brainwashed by [[Robotnik Prime|Dr. Robotnik]], has successfully infiltrated [[Knothole Village]]. Sonic has arrived at [[Rotor]]'s lab, where both Rotor and [[Sally Acorn]] are present. With the possibility of Robotnik determining Knothole's location via Sonic, Sally must act fast to get rid of Sonic. She starts by asking him if anything is wrong, but he does not fall for her kindness. He rushes at full speed and rams into Rotor, sending him flying into one of his computer consoles. He then runs around him, hitting him with a flurry of punches. After Rotor is down for the count, he runs behind Sally and grabs her by the neck, intending to break it. However, she grabs his arm, getting a good grip, then throws him away. |
||
| − | |||
| − | Outside the lab, [[Tails (Archie character)|Tails]] and [[Bunnie Rabbot]] come running in after hearing the commotion. They look in to see Sally and Sonic continuing to fight, but do not suspect foul play. Bunnie runs in and grabs one of Sonic's arms before he can punch Sally. Using one of her robotic legs, she pins down Sonic, while Tails arrives, asking what Sonic is doing. Bunnie's strength is not able to hold Sonic for long, as he spins and sends everybody flying back. Tails, in mid-air, gets his tails working and tries to fly away, but Sonic is able to catch up and knock him out with a sonic spin. He looks on in triumph, as the [[Freedom Fighters]] remain knocked out all around him. |
||
====Part Two==== |
====Part Two==== |
||
| + | While most of the [[Freedom Fighters (Pre-Super Genesis Wave)|Freedom Fighters]] down and out, Robotnik tells [[Snively]] that Sonic's job isn't finished yet. He recaps his plan from the [[Archie Sonic the Hedgehog Issue 27|previous issue]] and says their only problem is that the Freedom Fighters have a jamming signal in place that's making it impossible to home in on Sonic's location. Suddenly the camera connected to Sonic is cut off and the lights in Freedom HQ go out. [[Antoine D'Coolette (Pre-Super Genesis Wave)|Antoine]], [[Hamlin]], [[Penelope Platypus|Penelope]], and [[Arlo Armadillo|Ario]] ambush Sonic in the dark, but he easily takes them out one by one. Just before he can turn the lights back on, [[Dylan Porcupine|Dylan]] tackles Sonic, knocking him out. |
||
| − | Back at Robotnik's lab, [[Snively]] commends Robotnik for winning his battle, but not all is well. Despite Sonic being a brainwashed pawn that successfully infiltrated Knothole, the village has a signal jammer that is preventing Robotnik from finding the exact location of the village for him to destroy. Therefore, he must follow Sonic's path back from the village to figure out where to send his demolition tractors. Suddenly, the signal from the transmitter on Sonic goes out completely, while Rotor's lab, which Sonic is still in, goes completely dark. |
||
| − | |||
| − | The [[Substitute Freedom Fighters]], led by [[Antoine]], creep into the dark room. They quickly pounce toward Sonic and get into a scuffle, but, despite the effort, they do not catch Sonic. He calls out to Antoine, claiming his speed still helps him out despite the darkness. [[Hamlin]], meanwhile, approaches Sonic and grabs him by the arm. Sonic calls him out as a rookie and easily tosses him aside. Taking advantage of Antoine, he calls him out as a coward, sending others to fight his battle. Antoine quickly grows angry and brandishes a sword, ready to battle one-on-one. He swings at Sonic, but misses, giving Sonic an opportunity to hit Antoine. He does, hitting him right in the head and knocking him out. Instantly after the hit, [[Arlo]] comes from the shadows and jumps on Sonic, but she too is thrown aside, right into [[Penelope]]. With the others done for, Sonic walks off in triumph to find the light switch. |
||
| − | |||
| − | Suddenly, from behind, [[Dylan]] throws himself into Sonic, knocking the hedgehog out. Dylan then comments how Sally taught him that a surprise attack is the best form of attack. |
||
====Part Three==== |
====Part Three==== |
||
| + | Sonic wakes up some time later with Sally and Rotor watching over him. He says he doesn't remember what he's been doing. Rotor finds Robotnik's tracking device and Sonic, apparently having regained his memories, quickly snatches the device and sets out to make up for almost leading Robotnik to [[Knothole Village (Pre-Super Genesis Wave)|Knothole Village]]. Back in [[Robotropolis (Archie)|Robotropolis]], Robotnik supposes they likely won't learn any more information from their bug and decides to send out his [[Demolition Tractor|demolition tractors]] and hope for the best. To his surprise, Sonic emerges from the tree stump entrance, and Snively detects the transmitter is still active on him. The tractors are sent after Sonic, who leads them towards a nearby cliff. The Freedom Fighters set off an explosion under the cliff, causing the tractors to fall over the edge before Robotnik can call them back. |
||
| − | Some time later, Sonic wakes up in a hospital bed in Knothole, with Rotor checking some x-rays and Sally sitting at the end of the bed. As he rubs his head from the hit, Sally asks him if he remembers anything. He tells her that he cannot remember a thing, while she claims she thought he was a goner when Robotnik's demolition tractors destroyed the access tunnel to Knothole. Rotor, while analyzing the x-rays, has determined what set off the alarms while Sonic was going through the access tunnels. He takes out a pair of the tweezers and removes Robotnik's micro-transmitter hidden behind one of Sonic's ear. To make amends for the trouble he presumes he did, Sonic puts his sneakers on and takes the transmitter, running off out of Knothole. As he runs off, Sally tells Rotor that they cannot let him do his mission alone. |
||
| − | |||
| − | With no more transmissions coming from the transmitter, Robotnik considers that option to find Knothole canned. Instead, he is going to try to find Knothole blindly. Before he can give the order, however, Sonic pops out of the Knothole tree stump entrance, in view of the demolition tractors. Snively gives note that the transmitter is transmitting again. Sonic drops back into the stump entrance, making Robotnik realize that his plan has not failed. He orders his tractors to pursue Sonic. From above, while Sonic lures the tractors, Tails follows the bots from the sky, sending reports to Sally. In one of the tunnels, Sally confirms, as she and some [[Mobian]] moles start her part of the plan. Sonic arrives, surprised, but she is able to convince him that he is better off to receive their help. He agrees, and hopes that if Robotnik follows him, their bots will hit a dead end. |
||
| − | |||
| − | Robotnik watches the progress of his tractor bots from the sky, starting a countdown to demolition. As the countdown starts to the tractors' self-destruction, they approach a cliff, which has a cave that Sonic and the others are watching out of. At the last second, Robotnik notices the cliff, but he is too late as his bots drop off it, exploding from the detonation. With the threat of the tractors gone, and Sonic back to normal, he hopes that Robotnik will think that the tunnel is a decoy. Nonetheless, the tunnel needs to be remade due to the earlier work by the tractors. He also apologizes for his earlier actions, which Sally quickly accepts. She also mentions that, through that experience, she now knows how he feels after their sparring matches. |
||
| − | |||
| − | With another loss under his belt, Robotnik admits defeat with his plan, thinking he was led on a wild goose chase. Snively makes an off-hand remark, thinking that, with Sonic having no memory, that he woukld not remember making a goose out of Robotnik. |

| − | Despite Sonic being back to normal, Tails is still upset over being beat up by Sonic earlier. He tries to explain about being brainwashed, but Tails would not have any of it and says that he has had enough. Tails then flies off the end of a cliff, preventing Sonic from following him. He thinks that the [[Knothole Freedom Fighters]] keep treating him like a baby despite his best efforts, and arrives at the [[Sea Fox (Archie)|Sea Fox]], which Sally earlier had left stationary at the dock. He opens the cockpit, and starts it up, having replaced the oil in it, removed by Rotor, with some oil he recovered from an oil-soaked sea gull. He removes the dock rope from the submarine and sets sail out into the sea, leaving Knothole behind to blow off some steam. In the meantime, Robotnik watches from a hidden camera in a tree on the shore. With Tails alone, Robotnik develops an idea to take out Tails, and help divide the Freedom Fighters. With one remaining [[Auto Automaton]] from his recent war with Sally and [[Geoffrey St. John]], he plans on using it to help aid his plan on conquering the Freedom Fighters, starting with Tails. |

| − | While scouting the ocean, Tails comes upon an island that has not been charted before. He hears a loud call for help, so, thinking he's a mature creature and working alone, he decides to take on the task of helping the being himself. He docks the Sea Fox at the island and flies out. He arrives and instantly falls in love with who he sees: [[Fiona Fox (robot)|a female fox]], tied to a tree. Completely infatuated, Tails gladly unties her from the tree, as she introduces herself as [[Fiona Fox|Fiona]]. After he unties her, they instantly gaze at each other, leading to a both of them instantly falling in love with each other. They laugh and frolic around the island, while Robotnik gags as he watches his plan proceed. He's on the island, so he walks outside and sees the two through a telescope. Fiona offers to take Tails to her home den, which Tails accepts as he is completely brainwashed from love. |

Robotnik then walks over and congratulates Fiona on a job well done. Tails' heart-broken, cannot believe that Fiona is a robot, as she comes over and talks in a robotic voice. Robotnik then orders Auto-Fiona to activate a control panel near the den, which she does, ignoring Tails' pleas for help. The den Tails is in is actually a feeding tube to a huge [[Roboticizer]] in the rocks. He keeps calling for Auto-Fiona to stop, but she complies as Robotnik orders her to throw the switch to activate the roboticizer. She activates the roboticizer, with no remorse. |
||
| + | Sonic is chasing after Tails, trying to explain he only attacked him earlier because he had amnesia. Tails does not care about Sonic's explanation and runs away. Having grown tired of the other Freedom Fighters treating him like a child, Tails sets sail in the [[Sea Fox (Archie)|Sea Fox]] once again to have his own adventures. However, he's secretly being observed by Dr. Robotnik, who installed a camera in a tree near the dock where the Sea Fox was kept. Robotnik decides to take advantage of the situation by deploying a leftover [[Auto Automaton]], with which he hopes will help bring down the Freedom Fighters. Some time later, Tails comes across an island that doesn't appear on his maps. He hears a cry for help from the island and heads over to find the source. |

Robotnik is disgusted and determines that the time has come to spring his trap. "Fiona" directs Tails into her den, which turns out to be the entrance to a [[Roboticizer (Pre-Super Genesis Wave)|Roboticizer]]. Robotnik slams the door shut just as Tails enters. Tails watches in horror as his new girlfriend is revealed to be an Auto Automaton, programmed to lure Tails into the Roboticizer. Robotnik has Fiona activate the device, leaving Tails apparently doomed to join his girlfriend as a robot. |

Sonic is chasing after Tails, trying to explain he only attacked him earlier because he had amnesia. Tails does not care about Sonic's explanation and runs away. Having grown tired of the other Freedom Fighters treating him like a child, Tails sets sail in the Sea Fox once again to have his own adventures. However, he's secretly being observed by Dr. Robotnik, who installed a camera in a tree near the dock where the Sea Fox was kept. Robotnik decides to take advantage of the situation by deploying a leftover Auto Automaton, with which he hopes will help bring down the Freedom Fighters. Some time later, Tails comes across an island that doesn't appear on his maps. He hears a cry for help from the island and heads over to find the source.
He finds a girl, Fiona Fox, tied to a palm tree and instantly falls in love. Tails unties her and ends up tongue tied before they share a romantic time together. They kiss, frolic along the beach, carve their initials into a tree, share a coconut milk drink, and then kiss again as the sun sets.
