Part I:
In the last issue (Sonic the Hedgehog #27), Sonic lost his memory and teamed
up with Robotnik to overthrow the freedom fighters.
Although she knows something is wrong, Sally welcomes Sonic back.
Sonic starts fighting Rotor then turns to Sally. Bunnie and Tails
run to the war room and find Sonic and Sally fighting. Bunnie, Tails,
and Sally hold Sonic down, but he breaks free and punches all of them.
Sally and Bunnie crash into the equipment in the room, but Tails is able
to use his tails to fly to safety. Sonic jumps up and hits Tails,
sending him to the ground. Sonic has won the battle.
Part II:
Robotnik sees Sonic's victory on a monitor, but he is upset that
he cannot determine Sonic's location due to a jammer blocking the signal
of the homing device. All of the sudden, Robotnik loses the signal.
Sonic is left in the dark and is soon surrounded by the shadows of
Antoine and the freedom fighters that were trained by Princess Sally.
The freedom fighters start to fight Sonic, but they make so much noise
that Sonic can tell where they are. Defeating the freedom fighters,
Sonic thinks that he has won. Suddenly Dylan attacks Sonic, sending
him to the ground.
Part III:
Sonic rests in a hospital bed. Sally says that she thought
Sonic was dead when the secret tunnel to Knothole collapsed and asks
him if he remembers anything. Sonic says that he doesn't remember
anything as Rotor locates the bug that Robotnik placed on Sonic.
Upon hearing about the bug, Sonic decides to make up for what he had done
and races to the tree stump entrance. Robotnik sees Sonic on his
monitor and Snively reports that Sonic still has the transmitter.
Sonic runs in the tunnels as Robotnik has Snively reprogram the tractors.
The tunnel has been extended so that it ends at a cliff. On the surface,
the tractors continue to follow Sonic and end up falling off of the cliff.
The tractors explode, and Sonic says that Robotnik will believe that he
led the tractors down a decoy tunnel. Sonic decides to apologize for
his actions as Robotnik is upset over being outsmarted by Sonic.

"Growing Pains!"

Pencils: Dave Manak
Inking: Harvo
Sonic tries to explain why he beat up Tails, but Tails refuses to listen.
Tired of being treated like a little kid, Tails heads off to his Sea Fox (from
Sonic the Hedgehog Triple
Trouble special). Although Sally had told Rotor not to put any oil in
the Sea Fox, Tails had previously fixed this problem by cleaning a sea gull that
was soaked in oil. Tails leaves as a hidden camera watches. Robotnik
decides to use a robot duplicate that was left over from his encounter with Sally
(from the Princess Sally mini-series).
Tails approaches an island that is not on any chart. He hears a cry for
help and falls in love upon seeing a fox tied to a tree. Tails quickly unties
the ropes and the girl introduces herself as Fiona.
Falling deeper in love, the two kiss and begin to play on the island. Robotnik,
disgusted, decides that it is time to set his trap. Fiona leads Tails to
her den and allows Tails to enter first. Tails walks into the hole and Robotnik
closes the trap door. Robotnik reveals that Fiona is a robot. As Tails
cries, Fiona explains that she was programmed to steal Tails' heart. Robotnik
welcomes Tails to the world of adults and explains that Tails is in a roboticizer.
For fun, Robotnik commands Fiona to throw the switch to the roboticizer as Tails
screams.
