[edit] Summary

[edit] Story One

"The Bomb Bugs Me" - Part One

Sonic speeds into Freedom HQ telling Rotor and Sally that Robotnik has a "bomb" with which "they will all die". Sonic, Sally and Rotor suppose he is refering to a bomb that will kill all the Freedom Fighters. The three head to Robotropolis where they apparently protest bomb. Robotnik and his SWATbots crash into the wall behind the three when it is revealed the protest was simply a projection made to fool Robotnik.

"The Bomb Bugs Me" - Part Two

Rotor heads in disguised as Robotnik to obtain the bomb and heads into Robotnik's office. Robotnik disguised as Rotor heads out of the office and attempts to fool Sonic and Sally into leading him to Knothole. Rotor exits (still disguised as Robotnik) and tells them that Robotnik is a fake. The two rip off each other's disguises revealing that both are wearing multiple ones. Sonic runs around them taking off all their disguises. The three heroes then take the bomb back to Knothole. They open up the bomb's container and it is revealed to be bug spray that Robotnik was going to use to kill flying ants in his office

[edit] Story Two

"Rabbot Deployment" - Part One

Sonic and Rotor head out to stop Robotnik from making deep inroads in South Mobius. When they get there they see two SWATbots put a rabbit in to a roboticizer. Sonic breaks the SWATbots but is too late to save the rabbit from being partially roboticized. They take her back to Knothole.

"Rabbot Deployment" - Part Two

The rabbit, named Bunnie, maintains her free will and has super-strength in her roboticized arm. She tells Sally she has always dreamed of being her royal hairdresser. That will have to come later as Sonic and Bunnie have to stop an oversized Burrobot from destroying the Great Forest. Bunnie picks up the Burrobot and throws it. Sonic then runs around the Burrobot making a huge trench around it. The piece of land the Burrobot is on collapses on itself burying the Burrobot. When Bunnie returns she is made a Freedom Fighter.
