[[Sally Acorn (Pre-Super Genesis Wave)|Sally]] and [[Nate Morgan (Pre-Super Genesis Wave)|Nate Morgan]] with the [[Freedom Fighters (Pre-Super Genesis Wave)|Freedom Fighters]] are traveling from Mobotropolis to the [[Angel Island (Pre-Super Genesis Wave)|Floating Island]] with Sonic as Knuckles on board. [[Nicole (Pre-Super Genesis Wave)|Nicole]], Sally, and Nate still do not believe that Sonic is trapped in Knuckles' body, so they travel to the Floating Island, but are attacked by missiles and come crashing down to [[Echidnaopolis]]. Meanwhile In Echidnaopolis, the Dark Legion are attacking Knuckles and [[Julie-Su]]. Knuckles unable to glide in Sonic's body uses his speed and finds the crashed [[Freedom Fighter Special]]. Sonic, Knuckles, Julie-Su and the Freedom Fighters take down the robots and some members of the Dark Legion, but they are stopped by holographic projections of Dr. Robotnik and Dimitri. Dr. Robotnik commands that either Sonic and Knuckles surrender themselves to them, or they will forever be stuck in each other's bodies. Dr. Robotnik and Dimitri teleport them to their base and show them the '[[Chaos-Cannon]]', which requires the [[Master Emerald (Pre-Super Genesis Wave)|Master Emerald]] as a power source, and upon activation and will blast the [[Great Forest]], turning it entirely into metal. Sonic and Knuckles head to the [[Shrine Isle (Pre-Super Genesis Wave)|Chaos Chamber]] making it look like they're about to steal it, but destroy the spying device and bring Dr. Robotnik and Dimtri a fake version of the Master Emerald. The cannon is destroyed by the sabotage and Sonic and Knuckles are restored to their own bodies from touching the Master Emerald. While Sonic fights Robotnik, Knuckles battles Dimitri, who unfortunately manages to teleport away. Dr. Robotnik self-destructs, revealing him to merely be a robot duplicate of the original Robotnik. Knuckles states that next time he'll get to defeat the villains, to which Sonic replies that in that case, he'd better start wishing he were a hedgehog again. This leads them into an intense argument about which are cooler; Hedgehogs or Echidnas. ====Appearances==== '''Characters''': *[[Amy Rose (Pre-Super Genesis Wave)|Amy Rose]] {{Flashback}} *[[Brotherhood of Guardians]] **[[Locke]] **[[Sabre]] **[[Sojourner]] {{Flashback}} **[[Spectre]] {{Flashback}} **[[Thunderhawk]] {{Flashback}} *[[Chaotix (Pre-Super Genesis Wave)|Chaotix]] **[[Espio the Chameleon (Pre-Super Genesis Wave)|Espio the Chameleon]] {{Flashback}} **[[Julie-Su]] **[[Knuckles the Echidna (Pre-Super Genesis Wave)|Knuckles the Echidna]] **[[Mighty the Armadillo (Pre-Super Genesis Wave)|Mighty the Armadillo]] {{Flashback}} **[[Vector the Crocodile (Pre-Super Genesis Wave)|Vector the Crocodile]] {{Flashback}} *[[Dark Legion]] **[[Dimitri]] **[[Enerjak]] {{Cameo}} *[[Doctor Ivo Robotnik (Pre-Super Genesis Wave)|Dr. Ivo Robotnik]] {{Flashback}} *[[Geoffrey St. John]] {{Flashback}} *[[Knothole Freedom Fighters]] **[[Antoine D'Coolette (Pre-Super Genesis Wave)|Antoine D'Coolette]] **[[Bunnie D'Coolette (Pre-Super Genesis Wave)|Bunnie Rabbot]] **[[Miles "Tails" Prower (Pre-Super Genesis Wave)|Miles "Tails" Prower]] **[[Nicole (Pre-Super Genesis Wave)|Nicole]] **[[Rotor Walrus]] {{Flashback}} **[[Sally Acorn (Pre-Super Genesis Wave)|Sally Acorn]] **[[Sir Charles Hedgehog]] {{Cameo}} **[[Sonic the Hedgehog (Pre-Super Genesis Wave)|Sonic the Hedgehog]] *[[Lara-Le]] {{Flashback}} *[[Mammoth Mogul]] *[[Maximillian Acorn]] *[[Nate Morgan (Pre-Super Genesis Wave)|Nate Morgan]] *[[SWATbot (Pre-Super Genesis Wave)|SWATbot]] *[[Wynmacher]] {{Flashback}} '''Races and species''': *[[Mobian]] *[[Overlander]] {{Flashback}} '''Locations''': *[[Prime Zone (Pre-Super Genesis Wave)|Prime Zone]] **[[Mobius (Archie)|Mobius]] ***[[Angel Island (Pre-Super Genesis Wave)|Floating Island]] ****[[Shrine Isle (Pre-Super Genesis Wave)|Chaos Chamber]] ****[[Echidnaopolis]] ****[[Haven]] ***[[Northamer (Pre-Super Genesis Wave)|Northamer]] ****[[Great Forest]] {{Mention}} ****[[Robotropolis (Archie)|Mobotropolis]] '''Items''': *[[Chaos-Cannon]] {{only}} *[[Master Emerald (Pre-Super Genesis Wave)|Master Emerald]] *[[Ultimate Annihilator]] {{mention}} '''Vehicles''': *[[Freedom Fighter Special]] '''Misc.''': *[[Sonic Spin]] ====Trivia==== *This story is printed entirely on a 90Β° axis from normal which, while giving the reader an idea of [[Zonic the Zone Cop]]'s perspective, was actually in keeping with the original printed format the story saw in the pages of ''Comic Shop News'' #619-632. *[[Doctor Ivo Robotnik (Pre-Super Genesis Wave)|Robotnik]]'s line, "Then we can test it on the [[Great Forest]].", is mistakenly rendered as "Then we can -est it on the Great Forest." due to a printing error. *This issue's Sonic-Grams states that this story takes place between [[Archie Sonic the Hedgehog Issue 71|''Sonic the Hedgehog'' #71]]-[[Archie Sonic the Hedgehog Issue 72|#72]] and [[Archie Knuckles the Echidna Issue 28|''Knuckles the Echidna'' #28]]-[[Archie Knuckles the Echidna Issue 29|#29]]. However, this time frame does not work, as [[Archie Sonic Super Special Issue 10|''Sonic Super Special'' #10]] takes place in that time frame, as does [[Julie-Su]]'s backstory in [[Archie Sonic Super Special Issue 11|''Sonic Super Special'' #11]]. It was announced in a few prior issues that the main story takes place between [[Archie Sonic the Hedgehog Issue 73|''Sonic the Hedgehog'' #73]]-[[Archie Sonic the Hedgehog Issue 74|#74]] and [[Archie Knuckles the Echidna Issue 25|''Knuckles the Echidna'' #25]]-[[Archie Knuckles the Echidna Issue 26|#26]], but that time frame does not work well either as it would imply that Julie-Su was actually with [[Knuckles the Echidna (Pre-Super Genesis Wave)|knuckles]] and [[Locke]] in [[Haven]] and this incident would be after [[Sonic the Hedgehog (Pre-Super Genesis Wave)|Sonic]] learns that the [[Robian (Pre-Super Genesis Wave)|robian]]s had vanished from [[Knothole Village (Pre-Super Genesis Wave)|knothole]], but before Sonic reports it. **Writer [[Ian Flynn]] has stated previously that he believes this story could not have possibly have happened. It is apparently considered canon, however, as [[Archie Sonic the Hedgehog Issue 183|''Sonic the Hedgehog'' #183]] includes [[Dimitri]] mentioning a previous meeting with Robotnik. Unless an unknown encounter between the two villains is implied, this mention refers to the story of this issue.
