[edit] Summary

[edit] Story One

"When Hedgehogs Collide Part 1"

Sonic kicks a Mobian pig into the mud. The pig asked Sonic why did he do it and Sonic replied because he felt like it. Sonic then runs off telling the pig he doesn't like his face. Elsewhere in the Great Forest, Princess Sally sees a young girl squirrel fishing. She asked Sally to join her and Sally responded by yanking the squirrel's stool, forcing her into the water. Sally runs away laughing while the squirrel cried. In Knothole Village, Antoine drives a car so fast that it knocked over an apple vendor and a cart of apples. Antoine then reverses the vehicle in to the apples, splattering apple sauce on the vendor. In a shop, the keeper asked Rotor if he needed anything today and Rotor's response was swinging the bat, trashing the shop. Rotor then hand the shopkeeper a ticket for not having enough room to swing a bat and leaves. On a path, a turtle runs away from Tails but he is hit with numerous tomatoes. Tails then flies off deeper into the Great Forest where he meets up with Sally, Rotor, Antoine, and Sonic, now wearing sunglasses. They discuss how the people they tormented bought their act and they prepare for the next step of their plan.


"When Hedgehogs Collide Part 2"

The story flashes back to Anti-Mobius, where Anti Sonic sits in his office bored. He comments that the only thing that excites him is when he fights Sonic The Hedgehog from the other universe. As Anti-Sonic looks out the street with a SweepBot cleaning up the Anti Freedom Fighters', Anti Sally comes in. Kicking down Anti-Sonic saying she wants fight someone that fights back. Anti-Sonic then comes up with the idea of fighting themselves. He recalls from his point of view the first encounter with the good Sonic in Anti-Mobius and again when Robo-Robotnik recruited him to help get Giant Borg (StH: #11, #19). Anti Sonic and Anti Sally then meet Anti Rotor in the garage and with Anti Tails and Anti Antoine, ride their vehicles through the Cosmic Interstate to Mobius. They disguise themselves as their good counterparts and commit the horrible acts previously seen.


"When Hedgehogs Collide Part 3"

The real Sonic, Tails, and Antoine returned to Rotor's lab through the Timespace Matter Projector. The three were trying to get into the Zone of Silence to rescue King Max but they failed. Sonic blames NICOLE for not getting them to their destination but replies that the Negative Zone wrecks havoc on her software. Sally enters, having returned from a mission with her trainees (Princess Sally Miniseries). A mob gathered outside the building including the victims of the Anti Freedom Fighters. They started yelling at Sonic and the others for the things they have done and started throwing things at them. The five of them escape into the forest. Sonic realizes someone posed as the Freedom Fighters and wonders how to expose them. Sally gathers the group with a plan.


"When Hedgehogs Collide Part 4"

The Anti Freedom Fighters terrorize Knothole village in their vehicles. They decide to go after a group of gypsies, who are really their good counterparts in disguise. Sally fires an arrow with a line which throws the Anti-Freedom Fighters off their vehicles. The Freedom Fighters removed their disguises and the two groups fight. With one member fighting their counterpart it is an even match until Sally suggests to change partners. Sonic switches with Anti Sally who can't beat due to his speed and is defeated. Sally switches with Anti Antoine and kicked him which defeated him easily. Antoine, like Sally, kicks Anti Rotor in the gutt. Rotor slams Anti Tails in the ground before he could finish his sentence. And Tails flies in from the back and defeats Anti Sonic. The villagers, seeing the incident, apologized and Sonic tells his anti-self he is going back to where he came from. Anti Sonic replies he got what he wanted, a fight.

[edit] Quotes

  • Anti Sonic: My counterpart is everything I'm not--helpful, kind, obedient, cheerful and thrifty! A regular Boy Scout! OOOOH How I hate that hedgehog!


  • NICOLE: It's not my fault Negative Reality wreaks havoc with my software! Next time, bring a compass.


  • Sonic (in disguise): Oh, no! It is Sonic the Hedgehog and his gang of outlaw Freedom Fighters, come to terrorize us poor innocent gypsies.


  • Sonic: ... You're going back where you came from, handsome. Game Over--you lose.
  • Anti Sonic: Hah! Shows how much you know, pretty boy. I got what I came for...a fight.

[edit] Key Events

  • The Anti Freedom Fighters impersonate their Prime counterparts in order to frame them.
  • Sonic, Tails, and Antoine attempt to reach the Zone of Silence to rescue King Max but fail to breach through the Negative Reality.

[edit] Background Information

  • This will not be the last time the Freedom Fighters will face off against their Anti-Mobius counterparts. Many issues later the Anti Freedom Fighters will invade Mobius as the Suppression Squad led by the Anti Sonic, Scourge. Scourge and the Anti-Antoine, Patch, would return to Mobius Prime even sooner on separate agendas.
