Sonic the Hedgehog[]
Order & Chaos is a 3-part story by Nigel Kitching, Richard Elson and Tom Frame. During Sonic and Tails' defense of the Floating Island against the Drakon Empire, the heroes are joined by Knuckles the Echidna, fresh from his adventure in the Special Zone. The Prosecutor in charge steals the Master Emerald from Tails and enacts his true plan; the crook uses his sword to teleport the others away after revealing himself to be Grimer. He then summons Doctor Robotnik through a Mobius Ring where he is free to absorb the power of the Chaos Emeralds.
Tails[]
Fashion Victims is a complete story written by Lew Stringer with art by Andy Pritchett and lettering by Gordon Robson. The entire Eldorado Zone is under the influence of Velvet Smythe and his new Badnik-remains outfits. Unfortunately, the designer is running out of parts, so encourages Doctor Robotnik to send a patrol out to the Zone for Tails to fight.
Decap Attack[]
Dog is a complete Decap story by Kitching, with lettering by Elitta Fell. Igor has got himself a new dog, but he isn't fitting in well at Castle Frank N. Stein. After biting Chuck D. Head, attempting to eat Professor Frank N. Stein, stopping Chuck from watching television and ruining Frank's shampoo formula, Frank is forced to go to extreme measures to stop the dog - sleeping in the kennel he built instead of the menace!
Amy & Tekno[]
At Enviro-Fete '98, Tekno the Canary has entered her new Solar-powered Hover Scooter and has won! Unfortunately, fellow contestant Tyson Dense takes offence to the snub and uses his fierce wood-chopper to chase Tekno and Amy Rose. Using the scooter, the girls take the trouble away from the show before using Amy's crossbow to end the threat permanently.
Features[]
The Control Zone, hosted by Megadroid, introduces this issue's stories, mistakenly calling the Decap Attack strip "Barking Mad". There is also a list of the winners from Issue 121's Sonic Baseball Jacket Compo.
This issue's Graphic Zone theme is "Danger Zone!", featuring STC's villains or pictures of the heroes in peril. Successful entries won Boomers a Sonic the Hedgehog watch.
