Chip, called Light Gaia, is a character that appears in the Sonic the Hedgehog and its spin-offs published by Archie Comics. In the Post-Super Genesis Wave timeline, Chip is an ancient spirit that can help restore the world whenever it shatters every ten thousandth year, the most recent being the Shattered World Crisis.

Appearance

In Vector's words, Chip resembles a "winged Chihuahua." He has brown and white fur with green wings and a green orb on his white necklace. Chip is incredibly tiny, only roughly a fourth of a typical individual.

History

Shattered World Crisis

During the Shattered World Crisis, Chip's spirit was manifested on Sonic's World at the same time that the essence of his antithesis, Dark Gaia, was spread across the planet. However, due to the planet's shattering having gone awry, Chip got amnesia and could not remember anything but bits and pieces.[1][2] After waking up, he found a Chaos Emerald. Recalling the Emerald was important and he needed it for something, he took it with him and began wandering about.[2] A few days later, he ended up in the depths of Aquatic Mine Zone with it, where he began to notice that Knuckles and the Chaotix were watching him.[3] Knuckles and the Chaotix located him with the red Chaos Emerald in the Aquatic Mine Zone, where the Chaotix unfortunately chased him in pursuit of the gem. After being halted by Knuckles, the group explained that he had come looking for him and that Emerald was intended to save the world. It was at this point that Chip revealed to the group that he had amnesia, and was unaware of his true purpose or real name. As he compared the situation to cookies, Charmy Bee was inspired to dub him Chip. Unfortunately, the new found friends were soon menaced by the Hooligans, who were also after the Emerald, and a Dark Gaia Titan. Chip was abducted by the Hooligans, who left his friends trapped in the flooding mine with the Titan.[2]

Tikal and Chip

Chip and Tikal on Shrine Island, from Sonic Universe #66.

Fortunately, Knuckles and the Chaotix escaped the mine and caught up to Chip's abductors, and were followed by the Titan. In the confusion, Vector recovered Chip and the Emerald and hid them in the only available place: inside his mouth. Once the Titan had been dispatched and the Hooligans been sent off on a false Emerald trail, Chip emerged, and Knuckles took him back to Angel Island. There he met and befriended Tikal, who later took him to the Hidden Palace Zone while Knuckles addressed the threat of Eclipse the Darkling.[4][5] Subsequently, Chip traveled back to the surface with Knuckles, who was searching for the shards of the Master Emerald, with the two eventually arriving in Casino Park.[6][7]

Chip would later watched from the audience as Knuckles took part in the Chaos Emerald Championship.[7][8] Afterwards, the pair joined the New Freedom Fighters aboard the Sky Patrol with the Speed Star. On the way back, the pair were introduced to Sonic the Hedgehog's Werehog form.[9]

Later while apart of a team with Sonic and Antoine D'Coolette in Apatos Chip looks as the two do battle with a group of Badniks. The two Freedom Fighters handily dispatch the robots and free their Mobini batteries, much to Chip's excitement. Antoine comments on the large number of Badniks, and Sonic remarks that there were a number of them present [10] he ran into Silver the Hedgehog again. Intrigued, Antoine wonders when this occurred, and Sonic replies that it was just after they'd accomplished a different mission. Hearing the pair talk about what they've accomplished depresses Chip, who feels that he's failing to do his part to help the world as Light Gaia. However, Sonic gives him a quick pep talk that gets his spirits up, and he then sees something even more exciting: an ice cream stand.
