Summary
Edit
Story OneEdit
- "Mobius: 25 Years Later" - Part Two: "Tempus Aeternus"
The story continues with Lien-Da celebrating Knuckles arresting Sonic, Tails, and even his own daughter, while being scolded by Dimitri who is ashamed of her.
Meanwhile, underneath the catacombs of Mobius Castle, Sonic, Tails, Lara-Su and Rotor are being kept prisoner. They jokingly discuss what's going on, when Knuckles enters and reveals that he was working for Shadow as part of a sting operation. He sets the others free, and they each got to work. Lara takes Rotor to a hospital, Tails deactivates the security system and Knuckles and Sonic head off to the throne room. Knuckles escorts Queen Sally to safety and leaves Sonic to fight Shadow.
Sonic tries his best, but the un-aged Shadow proves to be too great a foe for him and defeats Sonic easily. After knocking Sonic to the ground, Lara-Su intervenes by knocking Shadow back and the two engage in mortal combat. Lara proves to be a match for Shadow and after a hard fought battle, Lara imprisons Shadow with Chaos Control.
Knuckles enters and takes the daughter he is so proud of home, while Sonic and Sally remember the times they were in love and get back together.
Story TwoEdit
- "Hedgehog Day"
Sonic awakes in his room to find that he has overslept for his special birthday celebration. He quickly gets ready, only to trip over a rock while running away from some reporters.
"The next morning", exactly the same events take place except he runs into a wagon while trying to avoid reporters.
"The next, nextest morning, Sonic wakes up and the same events take place and he realizes he's having a reoccurring dream, so he decides to stay in bed and miss the ceremony, but the reporters have other plans.
They try to get into his house by climbing on top of the roof, but crash through and fall on Sonic.
"The next, nextest, nextiest morning", Sonic actually awakes for real this time and goes to the ceremony three hours early.

Background informationEdit
- When Shadow and Lara-Su are battling Lara-Su says Chaos Spear, but she doesn't throw one, Shadow does. Apparently, her dialogue and Shadow's were mixed up at the beginning of the battle.
- Although Julie-Su (MxYL) appears on the cover, she doesn't appear in the issue.
- Due to the popularity of Mobius: 25 Years Later, the story was continued in Sonic Universe, in a four-issue story arc called Mobius: 30 Years Later.
- The second story and its title are both parodies of the film Groundhog Day, where Bill Murray's character, much like Sonic, keeps reliving the same events over and over again.
- Sonic's bed in the second story bears a striking resemblance to the Mach 5, the race car used in the anime series Speed Racer.
