[edit] Summary
[edit] Story One
- "Blast from the Past"
While on a mission in snowy terrain, the Freedom Fighters are attacked by a group of SWATbots led by Muttski, Sonic's Roboticized pet dog. The attackers leave thanks to Uncle Chuck's interference, and he reveals that Muttski's familiarity with Sonic's scent makes him a dangerous adversary. Antoine, eager to leave, trips and rolls right into an ice-filled chasm containing the frozen form of a Mobian Cave Bear. Naming the creature Mobie, the Freedom Fighters-despite Sonic's misgivings-decide to take him back to Knothole and try to revive him.
Using one of Robotnik's old Glaciators in reverse to melt the ice, Rotor plans to thaw Mobie out slowly, only for Sonic to accidentally speed up the device's work by bumping it. Awakening quickly, Mobie goes on a rampage, Antoine confronting him to protect Sally only for Bunnie to put him up in a tree. After considering the matter, the Freedom Fighters decide to try and communicate with him through art, having found a paintbrush in his hand when he was frozen. Bunnie gives him a drawing, which reminds him of his long lost family. Mobie tears off in search of them, leaving a reluctant Sonic to go after him.
Finding Mobie caught in a SWATbot ambush, Sonic comes to his rescue only to be menaced by Muttski after getting knocked out. Seeing Sonic in danger, Mobie comes to his rescue, and is about to smash Muttski when Sonic uses a dirt drawing to communicate with him. Taking Muttski and Mobie back to Knothole, Sonic is overjoyed when Uncle Chuck is able to restore Muttski's free will. Chuck then suggests relocating Mobie to the Mobian Jungle, an environment more to his liking. Sonic and Muttski bid Mobie farewell, only for Muttski's mechanical paw to come off in Mobie's hand.
[edit] Story Two
- "Prisoners!" - Part Two
Finding themselves in the Grand Conservatory, the Chaotix are greeted by Archimedes, who reveals that he is awaiting Knuckles. Knowing of their desire for answers, he frees them from the chamber in which they were held, providing a corridor that leads them right to him. The Chaotix are then shocked as his true nature is revealed to them.
[edit] Story Three
- "Tundra Road" - Part Two
Close to drowning in the Frozen North Sea, Rotor is rescued by none other than Sealia of the Arctic Freedom Fighters. Explaining to him how she discovered him while fishing and saved him with help from Augustus, she is in turn treated to the story of how he ended up in the water. Desperate to get help, Rotor asks her to assemble her teammates, only to be informed that Guntiver, Erma, and Flip are all far away, and that the team was just getting settled back into normal lives. Exasperated, he tries to convince her, only to anger the arriving Augustus. After calming down, the Polar Bear agrees that something needs to be done. The trio sneak into Robotnik's cavern using a Trojan Horse, and make quick work of Robotnik's Icebots. However, he then sicks the brainwashed Walrus Herd on them, forcing them to retreat. With some quick thinking on Augustus' part, they trap the herd on an ice floe, which Rotor tosses a tracker on to as a precaution against losing them. Rotor then returns to Knothole, with Augustus and Sealia promising to keep an eye on the herd and contact him.
