Stormtop Village[1] is a location that appears in the Sonic the Hedgehog comic series and its spin-offs published by Archie Comics. It is a small mobian village in the Dragon Kingdom, located near the base of Mount Stormtop.

Description[]

Stormtop Village is a town containing several eastern-themed buildings, ornate fountains, and the Temple of the Golden Lotus. Originally, the village also featured a dried-out well which had been modified into a prison, although said well would later be destroyed by Snively.[2]

History[]

Past[]

As punishment for them not serving him, the citizens of Stormtop Village, the Iron King had his wife, the Iron Queen, set the nearby Mount Stormtop ablaze with magical fire, causing the citizens to suffer from the intense heat generated. Li Yuen and Li Moon, however, refused to leave Stormtop Village, as their family had lived there for years.

At some point, Stormtop Village would also fall under Moritori Rex's (who, at the time was disguised as the Guardian Tobor) assigned area to monitor.[3]

Arsenal of the Iron King[]

Over a hundred days after the Iron Queen first cast her spell, Sonic and Tails would later arrive at Stormtop Village, and, after hearing of the situation from Li Moon and Li Yuen, went to stop the Iron Queen. Sonic and Tails eventually succeeded in defeating the Iron King and Iron Queen, in addition to putting out the fire on Mount Stormtop with the help of Monkey Khan, and the mythical Fan of Fen Xing. Their mission a success, the heroes returned to Stormtop Village, to the rejoicing of Li Yuen and Lie Moon. A short time later, Sonic and Tails would leave Stormtop Village to continue their pursuit of Ixis Naugus.[4]

Iron Dominion takeover[]

Over a year later, Sonic, Tails, Sally, and Khan would arrive at Stormtop Village, seeking to break the Iron Dominion's hold over the Four Houses. However, shortly after Li Yuen gave the heroes a tour of the Temple of the Golden Lotus, Tails, Sally, and Khan would be kidnapped by ninjas from the Gossamer Clan, in an attempt to lure Sonic into accepting a meeting with the Bride of the Endless Reach. But Sonic willingly accepted the offer, and left Stormtop Village, heading towards the Gossamer Clan hideout. Later, after successfully convincing the Bride of the Endless Reach to sever ties with the Iron Dominion, the heroes returned to Stormtop Village, where Li Yuen and Li Moon baked dinner for them. However, the meal was interrupted by a spear being thrown through a window, bearing a message from the Yagyu Clan, asking to meet with the Freedom Fighters. Agreeing to this, the freedom Fighters left Stormtop village for the Yagyu encampment the following day. Later, after the Freedom Fighters had successfully convinced all the Four Houses to leave the Iron Dominion, they briefly returned to Stormtop Village, before leaving for New Mobotropolis in the Tornado.[1][5]

Following the Iron Dominion's defeat, the Iron Queen would be imprisoned under a dried-out well in Stormtop village, in addition to Sally and Khan making a brief trip to it using a Warp Ring. The two would discuss their relationship, and kiss, before Sally explained that she wished to renew her relationship with Sonic, Khan accepted this choice, and Sally returned to New Mobotropolis through the Warp Ring.[6]

The World Can Wait[]

Sally would later make another trip to Stormtop Village through the Warp Ring, checking up on the Iron Queen's imprisonment, and explaining her nervousness about her and Sonic's upcoming date to Khan. Khan comforted her, and pointed out that she would have to return to New Mobotropolis soon in time for her date, which she subsequently did.[7]

Scrambled[]

Snively later infiltrated Stormtop Village using a cloaking device, and knocked out Liu Fang, before attempting to release the Iron Queen. However, as Snively had betrayed her once the Iron Dominion fell, she refused to come with him, considering staying imprisoned to be the better option. Leaving the well disheartened, Snively noticed the Egg 'Stache Flyer deploying several Badniks, informing him of Eggman's arrival. Despite the Iron Queen's rejection of him, Snively refused to give up. While Li Yuen and Li Fang ushered citizens into the Temple of the Golden Lotus, Khan fought back the advancing hordes of Egg SWATs, but was distracted by Mecha Sally. While Khan fought, Eggman landed, and interrogated the citizens for the location of the Iron Queen. After learning of it from Liu Chi Mei, Eggman ordered his Egg SWATS to lock the citizens in Prison Eggs, as they were "no fun". As his Badniks carried out his orders, Eggman questioned the Iron Queen for Snively whereabouts, but as she refused to tell him, Eggman sought other options. However, he was soon approached by a distraught Monkey Khan, who had depleted Mecha Sally's energy during their battle. Eggman explained that the only way to save Mecha Sally from death would be to use a Power Ring, prompting Khan to unselfishly give up his own Power Ring Crown. Eggman used the opportunity to slip a Command Crown on Khan, giving him control over Khan's actions. But both Khan and Mecha Sally were knocked aside by the emergence of the Iron Oni from the surrounding forest, which then proceeded to rip the Iron Queen's well up from the ground, freeing her, and revealing the Oni's pilot to be Snively. Pleased, the Iron Queen and Snively kissed, with the former asking the latter to destroy Dr. Eggman with the Iron Oni.[2]

Realizing he would need a machine to combat the Iron Oni, Eggman stalled Snively while Orbot and Cubot prepared one for him. Eggman first sent Khan to attack Snively, only for the Iron Queen to transform him into Iron Khan with her Technomagic. In response, Eggman sent Mecha Sally to stop Iron Khan, while his Egg SWATs formed a barricade. Orbot and Cubot soon returned, having been unable to decide which robot to deploy. Eggman took the controls, and deployed the Egg Beater in a capsule. As the Iron Queen was unable to control the Egg Beater, due to it possessing no circuits, Snively was forced to fight it in the Iron Oni, while Orbot and Cubot cast bets on the battle's outcome. Eventually Eggman managed to catch the Iron Oni in a tight grip, while he exited the Egg Beater, and used his Omni-Tool to sabatoge the ancient mech. After the modifications were complete, Eggman used the Egg Beater to explode the Iron Oni, knocking out Snively and the Iron Queen in the process, both of whom Eggman would place in a Prison Egg. Meanwhile, Iron Khan was about to destroy Mecha Sally, but returned to his normal self just in time, due to the Iron Queen's unconsciousness. However, Mecha Sally was greatly damaged, so much so that Khan allowed Eggman to take her when he arrived, as he was the only one who could fix her. Eggman mocked Khan, stating that as he did not feel like cleaning up, he would release the captured citizens of Stormtop Village so that he could terrorize them another day. Although irate, Khan knew he was unable to fight Eggman without his Power Ring crown, and watched him leave Stormtop Village.[8]
