Sonic's Christmas Carol!
- Writer: Angelo DeCesare
- Pencils: Dave Manak
- Inks: Henry Scarpelli
Synopsis
Part I
The story begins with Sonic presenting his version of Charles Dickens' book, A Christmas Carol.
Robotnik Scrooge is arguing with Rotor Cratchit about fixing the roof, as there is a thick layer of snow in their office. Cratchit asks about a day off for Christmas, but Scrooge refuses. After Cratchit says he will work harder, Scrooge allows him to have the day off, but his lunch break will be reduced to one minute for 10 years. He tells him to leave and goes off with a "Bah, Humbot!"
That night, as Scrooge is watching TV in his mansion, a TV ghost of his old partner Jacob Snarly (Snively), appears. He tells Robotnik he spends his days going from channel to channel for eternity and he will meet the same fate if he doesn't change his ways. Robotnik refuses to change, to which Snarly tells him three spirits will visit him tonight. Robotnik kicks the TV with a "Bah, Humbot!"
Scrooge thinks hes invincible and goes to sleep under his bed sheets, but is soon awakened by the Ghost of Christmas Past (played by Sonic with a backwards ballcap and skateboard). He takes Robotnik out of his manor and shows him when he was little, and lived with Uncle Chuck and Sonic. Robotnik is reminded of how much of a tyrant he was, and how he tried to destroy the Christmas tree with a tractor.
Part II
Sonic protects the tree in the memory, to which the older Robotnik Scrooge tries to get his revenge. Instead, he falls in a boll of Christmas mush, discovering he is in the house of Rotor Cratchit. Scrooge is confronted by the Ghost of Christmas Present (Sonic dressed as a wrapped present). One of the family members (Tails), fetches a present, which is actually a bomb sent by Robotnik. The family realizes that only Robotnik has enough money to buy presents. One of the family (Sonic), tells them they can't risk opening it and marks the present 'return to sender'. Robotnik tries to grab Sonic, but the Ghost of Christmas Present reminds him they can't hear him.
Finally, Robotnik enters the future and laughs at an old coot. The Ghost of Christmas Future (Sonic in a robe), tells him that's future Scrooge. He explains his ways have destroyed the planet, leaving nothing to rule, and he will become a senile old fool if he doesn't change his ways. As Robotnik begins to change his mind, he notices a giant robot grab Rotor Cratchit's family (who are now old and tired). An old Sonic tries to stop Robotnik, but falls over when attempting a Sonic Spin. Suddenly, a mailman gives the old Robotnik a package, which says "return to sender". The current Robotnik realizes its the bomb and tries to stop the old Robotnik from opening it, but it's too late and they are blown to bits.
At that point, Rotor wakes Sonic up from a dream, saying he nearly slept through Christmas. Sonic realizes its the last page of the story and quickly wishes everyone a Merry Christmas.
