Sonic the Hedgehog[]

The Sonic Terminator is a 5-part strip written by Nigel Kitching, drawn by Richard Elson and lettered by Steve Potter. Having been shrunk by a future version of himself, Sonic now has to evade the attacks of Metallix and use the Time Stone to return to the Miracle Planet's past. In the green Palmtree Panic Zone, Sonic makes his way to a machine and uses his tiny body to slip inside and take the power source - the original Time Stone! After destroying the contraption, Sonic returns to the present and urges his future self to repeat the process. This time, the machinery begins to fade, as does Metallix, leaving Sonic to spend a whole month alone with Amy Rose. Unfortunately.

Back on the ship, Max hasn't found the device - it looks like Mr X has won again.
