Story OneEdit
- "The First Date" Part Two of Three: "Who Wrote the Book of Love Anyway?"
Continuing from last issue, Knuckles is teleported by Archimedes into a bistro, where he sees Julie-Su with Raynor. Knuckles is shocked that Julie-Su is in a public place and refuses to speak to her, even when Archimedes is trying to convince him otherwise. Raynor notices them behind a plant and Julie-Su turns around to them. Knuckles tries to avoid her gaze, but crashes into a waiter behind him. The manager appears about to punish Knuckles, but realizes him as the Guardian and apologizes. Knuckles tries to clean up the mess when Julie-Su approaches them. Knuckles begs for Archimedes to teleport them away as Julie-Su heads over to them. Later on a building, Knuckles is talking about how he went yellow when wanting to talk with Julie-Su. Archimedes explains again that echidnas aren't romantic and nature had to step in with the Soultouch. Knuckles watches above and sees Vector, Espio and Mighty entering an arcade.
In Haven, Locke runs into the monitoring room and asks Sabre if he has seen Knuckles. He tells him, as well as Semper Fidelis and Deo Volente about his disappearance. The Fire Ants realize that it must be Archimedes and Locke yells at them for it. Deo bluntly states that Archimedes would be playing matchmaker to not end up like Locke. Sabre is about to set the monitoring system to spy on Knuckles but Locke decides to give him privacy and leaves with hope that he will come to him about his relationship. At the arcade, Vector is focused on a game while Espio and Mighty are telling him about how he should be around girls, when Knuckles enters. Vector is unaware of Knuckles' presence and states that Julie-Su has Knuckles wrapped around her finger. Knuckles enraged attacks Vector and yells that he doesn't want to listen to him and to get off his case. Espio and Mighty try to calm him down when Vector apologizes. Knuckles yells at him to "stuff it" and storms off.
Meanwhile, Raynor escorts Julie-Su back to her apartment and kisses her goodbye. After she walks into her apartment, she sighs that she doesn't want him. In another part of the city, Knuckles thinks about seeing his mum to discuss Julie-Su, but decides to head over himself and talk with her. Lara-Le from her apartment is thinking about her announcement of their marriage to Knuckles, but Wynmacher convinces her that she made the right decision. Knuckles arrives at her apartment and nervously manages to ask her out, over the intercom. Knuckles walks off amazed that she agreed to the date while Julie-Su is think above that it's about time he asked her.
Story TwoEdit
- Mighty the Armadillo in "Those Were the Days..."
Mighty is stunned seeing Fiona Fox alive after believing she was dead. She blames him and Sonic for not rescuing her when Nic interrupts them, and puts them back onto the mission. They arrive at the prison and Mighty recognizes it from years ago. The flashback starts with him, Ray and Fiona arriving as prisoners into the yard, when Fiona is taken aside by a Robian for other plans. Mighty narrates that he didn't think when he attacked the guard and him, Ray and Fiona began fighting the SWATbots. They were eventually subdued by threats and Fiona was taken away to Dr. Robotnik. Nic stops his daydreaming and leads them through into the prison yard. They head through the place when Mighty notices Auto-Automatons designed like Sonic, Tails and Sally. Fiona tells them that the prison camp was creating them from their prisoners.
Mighty remembers that while in prison, Sonic came back to him bruised and handed him a card through the bars. Mighty used it to free himself from his shackles and bent the bars to free himself. Sonic lead Mighty through the prison to free their friends. Mighty in the present starts to question if he was talking with the real Sonic, or one of the robots. Nic manages to find a metal door and uses a code to open it up. Nic tells him that it will lead to what they came for, but Mighty asks where Ray is. Nic restates that she claimed to know where he could be found, but only if Mighty will fulfill his job. They stop at a large safe and she tells Mighty that only he can open it up. Mighty agrees to do it, for Ray's sake.
