[edit] Summary
[edit] Story One
- "A Timely Arrival"
Tired of Sonic scrapping all of his plans, Robotnik builds a time machine disguised as a tree cutter in order to send Sonic far into the past. While the Freedom Fighters try to get Sonic back to the present, Sonic meets his Ancestor Sonugh the Boghog and his band of Prehistoric Freedom Fighters, too afraid to stand up to the savage Robughnik and the dinosaurs that inhabit their world. However, Sonic helps them develop the first hedges on their world, giving them hiding places on the surface. Meanwhile, the Freedom Fighters succeed in capturing the time machine and bringing Sonic back to the present.
[edit] Story Two
- "Bold-Headed Eagle"
While taking a shortcut home through the mountains, Sonic falls into the nest of Cyril, an embittered elder who thinks himself the last eagle on Mobius. While Robotnik detects the presence of several Mobians in the mountains, Sonic encourages Cyril to try flying again. Cyril tries and falls due to being out of practice, but in the process locates other surviving members of his flock. Sonic is then attacked by Robotnik in the Rambot, but Cyril comes to his aid, carrying him to safety while Robotnik and Snively are left stranded.
[edit] Story Three
- "The Lynx is a Jinx"
On a mission to rescue defenseless Mobians from a SWATbot raid, Sonic and the Freedom Fighters encounter Larry Lynx, who refuses to leave because of his fear that he's a super-jinx, bringing bad luck to everyone he meets. He is seemingly proven right as the tree branch he is sitting on comes down on top of the Freedom Fighters, injuring them all. Fearing that he could bring disaster upon them, all of the Freedom Fighters but Sonic left to return to Knothole, leaving Sonic to help the unfortunate Lynx. As Sonic determinedly stuck with Larry despite continued misfortune, the two came upon the captured Freedom Fighters. Stumbling upon a possible solution, Sonic sent Larry out to face the SWATbots, only for his bad luck to affect them and an arriving Dr. Robotnik, preventing them from causing any permanent harm. The hero Larry was then escorted back to Knothole, where his bad luck streak was proven broken as he defeated Rotor in a long series of chess games.

[edit] Background Information
- This issue introduces both Cyril and Larry Lynx. Both characters would later join with Sally's Trainees from the Princess Sally Miniseries to forge the Substitute Freedom Fighters in Sonic Live.
- Since this comic takes place before issue #19: Night of a Thousand Sonics, it is possible Robotnik could have sent Sonic into an alternate universe by mistake, (thinking that he had actually sent him to the past), where Sonugh was actually an other world version of himself, in leiu of being his ancestor. Although it would have been a billion to one coincidence, this seems to be more likely since the revelation of the Xorda's Gene Bombs detonating on modern society long after Sonic would have traveled 40,000 years in the past, when animals did not possess human DNA (StH: #125).
