Many of these Mobians possess unique abilities tied to their species, powers that put them a step above the average citizen.
One such individual is Sonic the Hedgehog, and today marks the beginning of his life of heroism...

Arc 9 - Rise of the Dark Legion (Knuckles' Chaotix)
Knuckles' tribe weren't the only echidnas to be released from another dimension. When the Phantom Ruby was destroyed, it unleashed another, more powerful, and far more sinister tribe: the Dark Legion, a technocratic war cult that seeks nothing less than to crush all of Mobius under their boots.
Knuckles and Kat set out for their island fortress to put a stop to their plans, but things quickly go wrong and the two find themselves tossed in the Legion's dungeons. There, they meet the Chaotix Detective Agency - loudmouth investi-gator Vector the Crocodile, master ninja Espio the Chameleon, the hyperactive Charmy Bee, and their old allies Mighty and Ray.
But it will take more than some new friends to stop the Legion, especially when they've been shackled together with magic Rings.

A new face appears in Knothole, the personification of innocence and sweetness that is Cream. Unfortunately, she brings with her the news of Eggman's newest scheme and the capture of her home. Sonic is quick to answer her call, along with Bunnie, Antoine, and all the kids. Will he be able to keep history from repeating itself, or will this be a repeat of the Shēngcún Massacre?
Later, Bunnie begins to suffer side effects of her failed Roboticization. Will she be okay?
Arc 13 - Adventures In Chaos (Sonic Adventure)
Dr. Robotnik has unleashed a new creature called Chaos, a watery "God of Destruction" with the power to grow stronger by absorbing Chaos Emeralds. Should Chaos obtain a full set of seven, he will become unstoppable, and bring ruin to the entire world. Now it's up to Sonic and the Freedom Fighters to locate the Chaos Emeralds and uncover the secrets of the past before all of Mobius ends up washed away.
Arc 14 - Aftermath of Chaos
It's been some time since Sonic defeated Chaos and saved the world from total annihilation. But while most would see it as a time of celebration, for the Freedom Fighters, the true battle has only begun. Station Square has been flooded and left in ruins from the raging water god's attack. People desperately search for loved ones they'd been separated from in the crisis. Even those far away from ground zero suffer as remnants of Eggman's doomed plans to control the creature despoil everything they touch. The storm has settled, and now that everyone has had a chance to see the damage, they're left trying to salvage what little hope they can while trying to keep the stress of their situation from boiling over.
Arc 15 - Tails of Sonic (Tails' Adventure)
Deciding that he needs help to take down the Freedom Fighters once and for all, Dr. Robotnik puts out a call for new villains to join his Empire. Enter the Battle Bird Armada, a hostile, high-flying avian army led by the notorious Grand Battle Kukku XV, his cocky, young heir Speedy, and the brilliant, but mad Dr. Fukurov....Foofoocob...Foocoo-clock ("FUKUROKOV!" "Yeah, that guy!"). These feathered fiends have but one goal: becoming the sole sovereigns of the skies, and they're prepared to do whatever it takes to fulfill their ambition.
Arc 16 - Project Shadow (Sonic Adventure 2)
A fifty year old secret comes to light when Dr. Robotnik unleashes the ultimate lifeform: Shadow the Hedgehog. With the promise of a new super weapon that could devastate the planet, the forces of light and dark clash once more for the fate of the world, unaware of the true mystery unfolding before them...
Arc 17 - Side Tales
In "Sunblock Solution", the moon has been repaired after it was blown up during Eggman's 'announcement' during the ARK Incident. But now, it's blocking the sun and won't budge! Then, Sonic and the Freedom Fighters deal with their very first smear campaign in "Sonic Slander"! Can True Blue keep his cool against the paparazzis' constant badmouthing? After that, things get super creepy in "Operation: Deadly Cuddles", but get right back to hopeful in "Robian Raids"!
Arc 18 - Metal Madness (Sonic Heroes)
Since he was first built during the Little Planet incident, Metal Sonic has been Dr. Robotnik's strongest and most loyal creation. But everything has its limits, and after countless failed schemes and beatdowns at the hands of his organic counterpart, Metal Sonic has reached his.
Arc 19 - Fire and Rage (Sonic Rush)
Fire. Noun. One of the four classical elements. A (usually self-sustaining) chemical reaction involving the bonding of oxygen with carbon or other fuel, with the production of heat and the presence of flame or smouldering. The power of Sonic's newest friend(?), Blaze the Cat.
Rage. Noun. Violent uncontrolled anger. The driving force behind an evil, Chaos demigod.
Also, the island is going to sink into the ocean because Sonic read a cursed chain letter...Oops...
Arc 20 - Invasion (Shadow the Hedgehog)
For fifty years, we have waited. Drifting through the darkest reaches of space on a Black Comet. Planning. Plotting. Preparing. We know no compassion or mercy. No sanctity for lives other than our own. Only one sole, singular objective: destroy and devour all in our path. We are the Black Arms. For fifty years we have waited. And now that we are here, Shadow, it is time for you to fulfill your promise...
Arc 21 - Heroes of Time (Sonic 2006)
The world as we know it has ended.
Fire and desolation have been all anyone has known for generations. However, amidst the suffering, there is a spark of hope. For a small contingent of heroes have been given a chance to go back in time and undo this nightmare, and destroy the one responsible for this crisis that one being... Sonic the Hedgehog.
