[edit] Summary
[edit] Story One
- "The Return"
Robotnik Prime is teleported to an alternate future Mobius to an orbiting satellite, where he meets his other self, Robo Robotnik for the second time. Robo Robotnik explains that he is close to his demise in the incomplete satellite which will run out of power soon and that he has given up after his failure to defeat his zone's version of Sonic. Robotnik Prime tells him that he has only lost one battle and that there is always another chance, telling him not to give up. After getting through to Robo Robotnik, Robotnik Prime is sent back to the Prime Zone just in time to witness Snively accidentally activate the Operation Wasteland Protocol backup plan, activated by the words "Sonic has Finally won it all". Robotnik aborts the protocol, actually saving Sonic and the Freedom Fighters from Robotnik's rampaging war machines. Robotnik's rationale is that he controls Sonic's fate and that he can destroy him at anytime.
[edit] Story Two
- "Tails' Knighttime Story!"
Unable to get Tails to fall asleep, Sally tells him a story about Mor Tail, the page to Sir Runalot, in order to teach him that he didn't have to be like Sonic to be great.

[edit] Background Information
- This issue depicted Robo-Robotnik to have a seemingly different history from the Robo-Robotnik in StH #19 and appeared to be in a completely different universe altogether. However, because they were retconned in StH #75 to be the same character, it is recognized by this website's canon policy that there is only one Robo-Robotnik, despite current writer Ian Flynn stating he believes there to be two. An explanation for the differences in the zones came about in StH #75, where Robo-Robotnik states "After locating the piece that had lain dormant in the future reality where I was trapped, I rebuilt a suitable body for myself." Thus this explanation is accepted, that Robo-Robotnik's consciousness ended up stranded in the alternate reality future Mobius.
