Let's Get Small![]

Synopsis[]

Part I[]

Sonic arrives in Knothole and is annoyed to discover that there is no one waiting for him. After searching the village he realizes the place is deserted. Rotor grabs Sonic from behind and pulls a hospital mask over his face. Noticing Rotor is extremely ill, Sonic helps his friend head toward the lab. Inside, Sonic finds that the rest of the Freedom Fighters have become deathly sick as well. Sonic asks Rotor what happened, and he explains that they decided to order fast food from a new restaurant called "McRobo's". It turns out that the restaurant was a trap set up by Dr. Robotnik and Rotor explains their french fries were laced with microscopic, robotic germs, giving them the French Frirus. Rotor pleads for Sonic to save them as he collapses on the floor. Sonic decides to defeat the virus face-to-face by reducing himself to microscopic size via a reduce/enlarge component that they used in the past.

Part II[]

Sonic heads inside Rotor's body and meets the Auntie Bodies, the embodiment of Rotor's natural immune system. She informs him that she and her counterparts inside the other Freedom Fighters have given up battling the French Frirus. Refusing to let her pessimism get him down, Sonic moves deeper into Rotor's body. A series of sores along the membrane walls, the French Foreign Lesions, spew pus all over Sonic. Sonic counters by cutting them off with a Sonic Spin. Sonic assumes that the French Frirus was taken care of, but is suddenly attacked.

Part III[]

Sonic is confronted by the ringleader of the French Frirus, Paris-site. Sonic challenges Paris-site to a duel, but he simply calls on his henchman, Fever, to deal with Sonic. Despite using his Figure-Eight Peel-Out, Sonic is unable to harm Fever. Before Paris-site attacks Sonic again, Auntie Bodies, inspired by Sonic's courage, steps in. She and Sonic work together to defeat the disease. Afterwards, she calls the Auntie Bodies of the other Freedom Fighters and they defeat their own foes. As the Freedom Fighters start waking up, Sonic leaves Rotor's body. However, he realizes that he's still stuck at microscopic size. Thinking quickly, he enters Rotor's nose and triggers a sneeze, sending himself flying towards the component and restoring himself to normal size. With the Freedom Fighters back on their feet, Sonic cooks his auntie's chicken soup recipe for his friends.

Sonic Shot[]

Synopsis[]

Sonic and the Freedom Fighters are enjoying a game of hockey, with Sonic poking fun at Antoine. After his shot on goal bounces off Rotor, a SWATbot picks up the puck. A group of SWATbots led by Snively show up on the rink. Revealing that he spotted them on surveillance, Snively admits he is an avid hockey player and asks to play a friendly game with them. Despite Sonic's suspicions, the Freedom Fighters agree to play.

Robotnik soon spots them playing and comes up with a plan. He announces a proposition to the group: if the Freedom Fighters win, they get their freedom. If they lose, they get roboticized. Sonic agrees to the offer and the game starts. The SWATbots play reckless and Tails suggest they do the same. Sally reminds him they are the good guys and Tails gets knocked down by another SWATbot. Just as the bot heads to Rotor at the goal, Sonic steals the puck and takes it to the other end, scoring the game-winning goal. Defeated, Robotnik quickly goes back on his word, instead merely allowing them to leave unhindered. Despite his team's loss, Snively is happy to see Robotnik defeated once again.
