Featured stories

Rebel Without A Pause

Chapter One

Amy Rose alerts the citizens of Knothole to the return of Bunnie, Antoine and Tails, who slide down the Great Oak Slide with Sonic's parents and Jeremiah in tow. The citizens celebrate their return and Dr. Quack is baffled to learn that Jules and Bernie retained their free will due to their Power Ring wedding bands. Nate Morgan comforts the doctor by explaining that science doesn't matter when dealing with the power of Super Emeralds and Power Rings. King Acorn asks the heroes where Sonic and Sally are. They sheepishly explain that they stayed behind in Robotropolis for a mission. Hearing they've worked around him again, the king asks for more details.

Sonic and Sally lead the rescued citizens across the Badlands. Sally explains that the virus she and Snively uploaded into Robotnik's computers will stop him from ever learning Knothole's location. Just then, NICOLE detects three Shadowbots heading for them in egg-shaped hovercrafts. Sally orders the citizens run for the Great Forest while Sonic tries to stand his ground and fight them off. Sally tries to pull him away, but they end up bickering.

The Shadowbots descend upon the duo, but two of them are destroyed by Dulcy the Dragon. The remaining Shadowbot tries to threaten them, but one stern look by Dulcy sends it into a cowardly retreat back to Robotropolis. With the Shadowbots dealt with, Dulcy offers them a ride back to Knothole. Meanwhile, at the edge of the galaxy, two spaceships journey towards Mobius.

Chapter Two

In Robotropolis, the Shadowbots help Dr. Robotnik out of his egg-shaped resting pod while informing him that a dragon has disrupted their capture of Sonic. He tries to interface with his computer once more and finds himself sick yet again. In Knothole, Antoine, Bunnie and Tails try to defend Sonic's decision to disobey the king, but King Acorn refuses to listen. Dulcy lands in the Great Forest and drops Sonic, Sally, and the citizens off before leaving.

The group descends down the Great Oak slide, but the Mobians of Knothole Village don't seem pleased to see Sonic and Sally.

Tales of the Great War Part Five: For Better or Worse

At night in Knothole, Prince Elias joins a group of Mobians gathering around a campfire as they discuss retrieving Kirby's books from Robotropolis. Elias, not knowing much about the Kingdom of Acorn or its history, asks what they're talking about. Amy explains that Kirby's books detailed the history of their people and Bernie adds that Kirby never fully chronicled the Great War because he vanished during the conflict.

Bernie tells the group about a mission where she, Jules and Charles went to find out what happened to Kirby. They found an Overlander and chased after him, but the Overlander shot Jules in the face. While Charles tended to Jules, Bernie dispatched the Overlander. They treated his wounds, carried him through the Badlands and arrived at a convoy vehicle. Amadeus Prower helped them aboard and the driver, Sherman Walrus, took them back to Mobotropolis.

Jules was taken to the Mobotropolis Hospital, where Dr. Quack operated on him. He was unable to do much to help Jules and revealed to Bernie that there was little hope for his survival. Charles suggested an alternative to Quack. At that time, King Acorn was at a loss for how to push the Overlanders off of Mobotropolis and turned to Warlord Julian for advice. At the campfire, Jules solemnly recounts that everything seemed to go from bad to worse those days.
