Sonic the Hedgehog #9 — "The Battle for Angel Island, part 1"

[deh_tommy]

While Knuckles was preoccupied with his responsibilities to the Resistance on the surface world, Metal Sonic discovered the location to Angel Island and was free to conquer and convert it right under everyone’s noses. Sonic and company now coordinate an assault to take it back and stop Metal from harnessing the power of the Master Emerald.

















Amidst the chaos, Amy learns from Rouge that Shadow has snuck off from the rest of the team to do his own thing. Meanwhile, Sonic and Knuckles have made their way to the shrine of the Master Emerald.

Can't Knuckles just shut Neo Metal Sonic down now? Ask the Master Emerald real nicely to take the power back?

Neo Metal Sonic has built that throne/cage thingamabob over it, that’s probably futzing with things. Knuckles has an instinctual and spiritual connection to the Master Emerald (he was able to sense something was terribly wrong just before Sonic and Silver got in touch with him in the last issue), that he hasn’t tried anything like that already probably means he can’t do it.

EDIT: I just remembered he also didn’t/couldn’t do that against Eggman or Mecha Sonic in S3&K when they stole the powers of the Master Emerald.
