Publisher’s description
"The Big Payback": Robotnik is upset by Sonic's victory over "Perfect Chaos" (as seen in the recent Sonic Adventure tie-in issues), so he sicks Silver Sonic II on the blue blur, right as the Freedom Fighters prepare to depart the Hidden City! Joining the battle, Sonic's friends find trying to beat Silver Sonic II in hand-to-hand combat is impossible, only Sonic can withstand Silver Sonic II's blows! The battle is furious, with repercussions sure to impact the future of the Freedom Fighters. What lies in store for the fearless heroes, and is there a way to defeat the juggernaut that is Silver Sonic II? As always, can Robotnik be far behind?
