Publisher’s description

As he is being escorted to prison by the Royal Guard, Sonic seizes an opportunity to escape incarceration, determined to prove he was not responsible for the accident that may have killed Princess Sally. Meanwhile, the rest of the freedom fighters debate whether or not Sonic may be a murderer - or who among them is the traitor that may have framed him. As if right on cue, King Acorn announces a proposed partnership with Dr. Robotnik, who quickly swoops in to capture residents of the Knothole Freedom Fighter base.
