[edit] Summary
[edit] Story One
- "A Robot Rides the Rails"
While on an information gathering mission in Robotropolis, Sally discovers that a train carrying the Dynamac-3000, Robotnik's latest super robot, is leaving for the western part of the continent. Eager to stop it, Sally boards the train, and the Freedom Fighters quickly mobilize to join her upon realizing what's going on. Boarding their plane, they set off to join Sally, who finds the offline Dynamac only to be grabbed from behind by a mysterious figure. Sonic attempts to catch up to the train, only to be knocked down by its defenses.
Sally's assailant is revealed to be Geoffrey St. John, who greets Sally with a kiss after letting her go. Receiving a rather cold response, he reveals that the Rebel Underground has also been making plans against the Dynamac-3000. Meanwhile, Sonic recovers from his run in with the train and is picked up by the other Freedom Fighters. At the same time, Geoffrey's men cut the power in the engine compartment, only for the Dynamac-3000's fail safe systems to bring it online. Tails drops Sonic onto the plane, only for Dynamac to burst through the roof.
Swat aside by Dynamac, Sonic runs into Sally and Geoffrey, and instantly dislikes Geoffrey for mistaking him for another trainee like the Substitute Freedom Fighters. As the Dynamac changes form to attack the Freedom Fighter plane, the heroes use NICOLE's information on the Dynamac to determine a weak spot. Sally is then grabbed, and both Sonic and Geoffrey's attempts to free her are met with defeat. Deciding that they need to work together, the two rescue Sally while the Freedom Fighters draw the Dynamac-3000's attention. Sonic then inserts a device that shorts out the robot's systems, allowing Rebel Underground agents Dolph and Jean-Claude to take it out.
Parting ways, the Freedom Fighters board their plane while the Rebel Underground claims Robotnik's train. Sally and Geoffrey kiss each other goodbye, prompting a bit of a negative response from the other Freedom Fighters.
[edit] Story Two
- "Lost... and Found!" - Part One
With the Chaotix missing due to the machinations of Archimedes, Knuckles tries to find them amongst the ruins of Angel Island. Unbeknownst to him, he is being observed by Archimedes, who is hidden within the Grand Conservatory as Knuckles draws nearer to it.
[edit] Story Three
- "Tundra Road" - Part One
Woken from his sleep by the sound of an old radio going off, Rotor is visited by Sonic and Sally. At first dismissing the noise because of the device's antiquated and sentimental nature, Rotor is shocked when his mother's voice once again comes through. Heading to the command center, the trio discovers that there is indeed a radio signal coming from the Frozen North Sea. With Sally's blessings and Sonic's confusion, Rotor sets out alone in his Bathysphere, piloting it through the Undersea Canal Grid to reach the Frozen North Sea. Once there, he finds the Walrus Herd, but to his shock they are in some sort of trance. Robotnik's voice comes on over a loud speaker, and the herd is directed into a cave by Icebots. Playing along, Rotor discovers that Robotnik has used a Neuron Bomb to short circuit the herd's minds, leaving them pliant to his commands. Revealing his plan to have them freeze all of Mobius, Robotnik is then alerted to Rotor's deception. The Walrus Freedom Fighter flees, only to be hit in the head by an Icebot club and start sinking into the depths of the sea.
