Description STH #241: Eggman tries to shake Team Fighters off his trail while the Death Egg soars over Mercia. He empowers Titan Metal Sonic with a Krudzu sprig and deploys it, but Sonic destroys the robot with a spin dash and it crashes into water.

For those of you suspected it was Shard on page 4 , all I can say is.... lucky guess. Shard's presence at Albion is a remnant from the rewrite of Endangered Species. After the story was butchered and the echidnas hurriedly nixed from the picture, Shard showed up to help Team Fighters against Metal Knuckles. Even though Shard justifies this as a mission from Harvey Who in Endangered Species, his surveillance is purely superficial in Sonic Retold when Team Fighters can pull through on their own. Regardless, I decided to keep Shard in the scene because he originally proposed a means to deroboticize Sally with the Krudzu. Here, I rearranged things so that Silver is the one who comes up with the idea and suggests it to Shard. It's a subtle change that's meant to show how Sonic Retold still follows the original timeline, but adds a small twist to it. Giving responsibility of the Krudzu to Silver enlarges his role in the story while saving Shard's role for a separate plotline later. Small tidbit: since it's morning in Albion, you can see it's still night in New Mobotropolis. That's time zones, folks.

Anyway, I hope you've enjoyed the story so far. I'm taking a break next week for the holidays, so the next page will be up on New Year's Day. However, Patreon donators can get their page on Christmas Day!

Nice that he wants to help, but if memory serves, Sonic most pointedly told Silver he was unwelcome after he tried to accuse Antoine of being the traitor.  Might not be getting the reception he thinks he's going to get.

Marvellous work! I'm really pleased to see someone continuing this story, especially now that Archie's Sonic has been cancelled. I'm really enjoying this, so keep up the good work. ^_^

Interesting you're keeping the "Krudzu Cure" plotpoint.

Y'know, I never really got how the Krudzu having the ability to infect and take over technology would allow it to turn a modified Robian back into flesh and blood. Seems like it would just infect Mecha Sally and render her situation even worse.

Then agian, I don't think Ian was thinking too hard on it in the comic proper. Seems more like it was a red herring, or a last-minute change to stop people guessing the ending after how completely telegraphed the Naugus-deroboticization  plot thread seemed to be, similar to how he shifted the identity of Anonymous from Robotnik Prime to ADAM after one of the artists drew Anonymous' silhouette as Robotnik and half the online audience immediately figured it out. Effectively an 'Armageddon 2001: Monarch is Captain AtomHawk' moment.

That said, Silver's not very bright in the comics, so at least it fits slightly better to have him be the one to come up with such a bizarre solution. Even moreso if it ends up being incorrect.
