Hey Boomers!\u00a0\"\"<\/h2>\n

The sun is scorching, the surf is up and it's about time for another thrilling online STC! It warmed my circuits to see the reaction to our online splash-down last issue. There was so much mail sent our way that we just didn't have time to give you all replies, but thanks to everyone who wrote in. Never underestimate the power of vocal humes!<\/p>\n

Right then, I think it's time we had some new strips. This issue Sonic <\/a>proves that even cool hedgehogs need to cool off sometimes, heading to the bottom of the ocean to look for the Floating Island. Meanwhile, Tails <\/a>is making a splash as he defends Metropolis City from the cunning Nack the Weasel.<\/p>\n

Sadly Boomers, hume delay has meant that Knuckles won't be joining us this issue, but stay tuned for his future adventures soon!<\/p>\n

Eagle-eyed boomers will also notice the brand new back issues section! You'll find issue 224 there for your reading pleasure!<\/p>\n

Have fun and stay cool!<\/strong><\/p>\n

The Story So Far...<\/h2>\n
\"\"<\/div>\n

Sonic's battle with the terrifying Chaos creature was going badly until Ebony showed up with her friend, Super Sonic. Super had split from Sonic and had become a pacifist, never daring to use the terrible power that the chaos energy bestowed upon him.<\/p>\n

That all changed when he absorbed Chaos' energy and reverted to a terrifying monster. Luckily, Ebony was able to merge Sonic and Super again - back to the way it was in the beginning. With Chaos destroyed, the Chaos Emeralds recovered and Robotnik captured, it appears that Sonic's troubles are finally over.<\/p>\n

Now he has time to embark on a new mission - to find the Floating Island which has sunk beneath the ocean!<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>

\"Super<\/div>

Super Sonic<\/h4>

Super Sonic was the worst side of Sonic - a wild and destructive creature that emerged when Sonic was stressed or exposed to Chaos energy. When split from Sonic for a period he managed to control his aggression with Ebony's help and became a pacifist.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>
