Summary

 * Previous Part ←—→ Next Part:

In the Sonic Boom comic universe, Team Sonic is in a battle with the Dr. Eggman native to that zone. Sticks is sent flying as Sonic finishes off Eggman's mech. As Sticks recovers from hitting a coconut tree, a Genesis Portal opens in front of her, causing her to hide. From it step X, Zero and Axl. X is amazed at being in another world, but Axl confirms they're not in the one they were aiming for, despite using Sigma's own device and Silver's help. The portal suddenly closes behind them, but X notes that the situation back home is contained (specifically, that Sigma's fortress has been secured by the Hunters, and that Vile is being contained by Silver) and that the silver lining is that they at least arrived at a world instead of a void, so they should ask the locals for help.

Sticks suddenly attacks Zero, thinking them to be invaders, but stops when X explains the situation to her. Ecstatic that her dream came true (a dream that her friends thought was due to her eating too many S'Mores that caused a fever) She agrees to help, recruiting Comedy Chimp and Fastidious Beaver to aid them (though it's closer to strongarming them). Sticks leads the party to the Boom universe's Eggman lair, reasoning Eggman would have an interdimensional travel device stashed away, with Fastidious Beaver still expressing confusion in a hushed tone as to why they had to tag along and Comedy Chimp deciding there's no thing as bad publicity. The group soon runs into the Orbot and Cubot of this world. The two attempt to threaten them off, a challenge to which Zero is more than willing to meet.
