Stories
- The Rise Of Robotropolis, The Fall Of Sonic · 17 pages
A confluence of circumstances dampens Sonic's speed. He and the Freedom Fighters go in search of Magic Rings to restore the speed, but instead fall into the hands of Dr. Robotnik's Swatbots, forcing Sonic to choose between saving his friends and restoring his speed.
- Bedtime Tails · 6 pages
To entertain a convalescing Sonic, Tails reads him a story from the fan comic that he produced, a story that sounds suspiciously like the origin of the Fantastic Four and their battle with Galactus, but with Sonic and the Freedom Fighters as the leads.
