Sonic and the Freedom Fighters join her on her trek to The Hidden City of the Ancients. Before talks can commence, however, the Ancients ask the FF to help with a small problem they are having: a fire-breathing dragon.'' ===Reunification, Part One=== :''A mysterious echidna appears on the Floating Island. Rather than finding Knuckles, they find a place inhabited by The Dark Legion. Who is this echidna and what does it have to do with Knuckles?'' ==Featured stories== ===Crouching Hedgehog Hidden Dragon - Part One=== *'''Writer''': [[Karl Bollers]] *'''Pencils''': [[Ron Lim]] *'''Inks''': [[Pam Eklund]] and [[Andrew Pepoy]] *'''Colors''': [[Josh Ray|Josh]] and [[Aimee Ray]] *'''Letters''': [[Jeff Powell]] and [[Julie Liu]] *'''Editor & Art Director''': [[J. F. Gabrie]] *'''Managing Editor''': [[Victor Gorelick]] *'''Editor-in-Chief''': [[Richard Goldwater]] ====Synopsis==== The [[Freedom Fighters (Pre-Super Genesis Wave)|Freedom Fighters]] travel to [[Station Square (Pre-Super Genesis Wave)|Station Square]] in order to persuade the [[President (Pre-Super Genesis Wave)|President]] to take in the [[overlander]] refugees from [[Robotropolis (Archie)|Robotropolis]]. [[Sonic the Hedgehog (Pre-Super Genesis Wave)|Sonic]], [[Sally Acorn (Pre-Super Genesis Wave)|Sally]], [[Rotor Walrus|Rotor]], [[Doppelganger Tails|Tails]], [[Antoine D'Coolette (Pre-Super Genesis Wave)|Antoine]] and [[Bunnie D'Coolette (Pre-Super Genesis Wave)|Bunnie]] arrive via the [[Freedom Fighter Special]] and are soon greeted by overeager overlanders. The President's [[Secretary (Archie)|secretary]] escorts the Freedom Fighters to the President's residence, where he explains that he's the one in charge, instead of the [[Mayor Bullyani]]. The President introduces them to his Chiefs of Staff and are ready to discuss the issue. Soon, Sally explains that the refugees have nowhere else to go. The President asks why don't they resettle them in [[Knothole Village (Pre-Super Genesis Wave)|Knothole]], but Sally explains that the physical and cultural differences are too great. Sally also says that there are about seventy families that need to be settled. One of the chief of staff asks what they are willing to offer them in return. Sonic yells at them why they can't take them in, but Sally calms him down. Sally uses [[Nicole (Pre-Super Genesis Wave)|Nicole]] to show them all an image of [[Doctor Eggman|Dr. Eggman]]. She explains that he was the one responsible for releasing [[Chaos]] and later released [[Shadow the Hedgehog (Pre-Super Genesis Wave)|Shadow]] in order to sabotage their energy supply. She tells them that if they accept the refugees, their [[Kingdom of Acorn (Pre-Super Genesis Wave)|Kingdom of Acorn]] will turn over all tactical information on him. The President wants to sleep on that idea. Later, while playing his guitar, Sonic goes over his thoughts of how he was asked by [[King Max]] to serve as Sally's bodyguard on the mission. Tails and Rotor come into his room and ask him if he wants to go to the video arcade with them. Sonic agrees, as a [[Zan]] is spotted flying outside the window. The next day, the President and his workers are watching past events which Sonic fought Shadow, Chaos and [[Silver Sonic 2]]. The President sees this as an opportunity to make Sonic a valuable agent. Meanwhile, the dragon from last night appears in Station Square, causing destruction. The secretary recommends that they do something, at which the President thinks that Sonic could do it. Both then witness Sonic on their monitor about to confront the dragon. Sally and Antoine apologize to the President to excuse Sonic's rash behavior, but the President is grateful for the help. Tails, Bunnie and Rotor sent off to try and help Sonic, as he gets hit by the dragon's tail. In the blast of the dragon's fire breath, Sonic takes a risk and jumps into the water, just before Bunnie, Tails and Rotor arrive. The dragon flies away after winning the battle. The President explains to Sally that if they take in the refugees, they would live in a city under siege by dragons. Sonic enters the room with a towel around him, with Bunnie, Tails, and Rotor and asks if they take care of their dragon problem, will Station Square accept the overlanders. Both the President and Sonic shake hands when the President accepts the deal. ====Appearances==== '''Characters''': *[[Chaos (Pre-Super Genesis Wave)|Chaos]] {{G|recording}} *[[Doctor Eggman (Pre-Super Genesis Wave)|Dr. Eggman]] {{G|portrait}} *[[Gerald Robotnik (Pre-Super Genesis Wave)|Gerald Robotnik]] {{Mention}} *[[Geoffrey St. John]] {{Mention}} *[[Knothole Freedom Fighters]] **[[Antoine D'Coolette (Pre-Super Genesis Wave)|Antoine D'Coolette]] **[[Bunnie D'Coolette (Pre-Super Genesis Wave)|Bunnie Rabbot]] **[[Doppelganger Tails]] **[[Nicole (Pre-Super Genesis Wave)|Nicole]] **[[Rotor Walrus]] **[[Sally Acorn (Pre-Super Genesis Wave)|Sally Acorn]] **[[Sonic the Hedgehog (Pre-Super Genesis Wave)|Sonic the Hedgehog]] *[[Mayor Bullyani]] {{Mention}} *[[Maximillian Acorn]] {{Flashback}} *[[President (Pre-Super Genesis Wave)|President]] *[[Secretary (Archie)|Secretary]] *[[Shadow the Hedgehog (Pre-Super Genesis Wave)|Shadow the Hedgehog]] {{G|recording}} *[[Silver Sonic v2.0]] {{G|recording}} *[[Zan]] {{1st}} '''Races and species''': *[[Black Arms (Pre-Super Genesis Wave)|Black Arms]] {{G|recording}} *[[Human (Pre-Super Genesis Wave)|Human]] *[[Mobian (Pre-Super Genesis Wave)|Mobian]] **[[Dragon (Archie)|Dragon]] *[[Overlander]] {{G|portrait}} '''Locations''': *[[Prime Zone (Pre-Super Genesis Wave)|Prime Zone]] **[[Mobius (Archie)|Mobius]] ***[[Northamer (Pre-Super Genesis Wave)|Northamer]] {{Mention}} ****[[Great Forest]] {{Mention}} *****[[Knothole Village (Pre-Super Genesis Wave)|Knothole Village]] {{Mention}} ***[[Soumerca (Pre-Super Genesis Wave)|Soumerca]] ****[[Station Square (Pre-Super Genesis Wave)|Station Square]] *****[[Station Square Airstrip]] '''Items''': *[[Crown of Acorns]] {{Flashback}} *[[Inhibitor Ring (Pre-Super Genesis Wave)|Inhibitor Ring]] {{G|recording}} *[[Holo-Transmit]] *[[Rocket-skates (Pre-Super Genesis Wave)|Rocket-skates]] {{G|recording}} *[[Sonic's sneakers]] '''Vehicles''': *[[Freedom Fighter Special]] '''Misc.''': *[[Propeller Flying (Pre-Super Genesis Wave)|Propeller Flying]] *[[United Federation (Pre-Super Genesis Wave)|United Federation]] ====Trivia==== *The title of this story is a reference to the novel ''[[wikipedia:Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon (novel)|Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon]]''. **The Chinese text for the title reads "臥豪猪藏龍", which translates to "Crouching ''Porcupine'', Hidden Dragon".

F. Gabrie ====Synopsis==== In [[Echidnaopolis]], deserted after the [[Dark Legion]] fired the [[Quantum Beam]] at the [[Angel Island (Pre-Super Genesis Wave)|Floating Island]], a [[Jani-Ca|young echidna]] teleports into the street wondering if she's "arrived in time." She wanders the streets, looking for someone. Meanwhile, two Dark Legion soldiers scan the area, reporting back to [[Dimitri]] that they found no unusual activity within the city. [[Lien-Da]] tells Dimitri that [[Chaos Knuckles]] has left their base and has been on the Floating Island for hours. Dimitri assumes that Knuckles caused the strange readings on their scanners and wonders what he could be doing. He quickly realizes that Knuckles must be attempting to reverse the effects of the Quantum Beam. The young echidna continues to search the city when a sudden gust of wind sends her flying. When she gets up, she sees that the echidnas have suddenly returned to the city. [[Remington]] approaches her and offers his help, much to the girl's shock. She recognizes him and thinks to herself that he is the echidna that killed Knuckles. ====Appearances==== '''Characters''': *[[Dark Legion]] **[[Dimitri]] **[[Lien-Da]] *[[Echidna Security Team]] **[[Remington]] *[[Hawking]] {{G|statue}} *[[Jani-Ca]] {{1st}} *[[Knuckles the Echidna (Pre-Super Genesis Wave)|Knuckles the Echidna]] **[[Chaos Knuckles]] *[[Radar]] {{Only appearance}} '''Races and species''': *[[Mobian (Pre-Super Genesis Wave)|Mobian]] **[[Echidna (Pre-Super Genesis Wave)|Echidna]] '''Locations''': *[[Prime Zone (Pre-Super Genesis Wave)|Prime Zone]] **[[Mobius (Archie)|Mobius]] ***[[Angel Island (Pre-Super Genesis Wave)|Floating Island]] ****[[Echidnaopolis]] '''Items''': *[[Quantum Beam]] {{Mention}} '''Vehicles''': *[[Battle Cruiser]] '''Misc.''': *[[Chaos energy (Pre-Super Genesis Wave)|Chaos energy]] *[[Grandmaster (Dark Legion)|Grandmaster]] *[[Guardian (title) (Pre-Super Genesis Wave)|Guardian]] ===Off Panel=== {{See also|Off Panel}} ====Synopsis==== [[File:STH106OffPanel.png|thumb|225px|Off Panel]] [[Justin Freddy Mendez-Gabrie|Gabrie]] tries to talk to [[Sonic the Hedgehog (Pre-Super Genesis Wave)|Sonic]], but Sonic is only able to vacantly repeat ad blurbs for other [[Archie Comics]] products.
