Sonic the Hedgehog - Season 2

The Freedom Fighters run into a Swashbuckler, named Ari, battling Swat-Bots. Sonic diverts them, allowing Ari to escape. After hearing that Robotnik is holding his band of Freedom Fighters hostage, Ari decides to help Sonic free them. But there's something about him Sally doesn't trust. Her instincts prove to be right. After luring Sonic inside an ancient Fortress, Ari flees, leaving Sonic to battle Robotnik in a virtual reality "game of life and death". If Sonic loses he will be relegated to "The Void", a strange "Netherworld" in which Robotnik has imprisoned the King. Sonic uses a Power Ring and outmaneuvers the villain, but Ari, who returns to help Sonic after Robotnik double-crosses him, is sucked inside. Before he disappears, he tells Sonic about the King's List of Freedom Fighters and Sonic and Sally pledge to find the List and form a Freedom Fighters network to combat Robotnik.

Sonic attempts a solo rescue to prevent prisoners from being roboti-sized and is hit by a Memory Scrambler that erases short-term memory. Snively finds Sonic and brainwashes him into believing they are friends and that the Freedom Fighters are a subversive group which he infiltrated on Snively's behalf. He sends Sonic back to the Great Forest to get Knothole's coordinates and it works, but Sally and Uncle Chuck give Sonic a Power Ring which returns him to normal. Sonic gives Snively a dose of his own medicine and Snively attacks Robotnik, but quickly recovers after he's threatened. He then offers to lead Robotnik to "Knothole", but what he doesn't know is that Uncle Chuck has already changed his coordinates, so he and Robotnik end up in the Great Swamp.

After a disastrous failed mission, Sonic laments that they can't go back and prevent Robotnik's take-over. Dulcy tells them they can and takes Sonic and Sally to the Floating Island where they find the "Time Stones", but in order to time travel to a desired destination/time, they have to synchronize their thoughts and Sonic allows his to drift (to thoughts of chili dogs). They arrive on the eve of the take-over, just in time to see a pristine Mobius and meet Uncle Chuck and their younger selves, but not in time to stop Robotnik (then called Julian) from overthrowing the King. / In Part II, Sonic and Sally steal the Roboti-sizer plans, stop the Destroyer from polluting the Great Forest and save Little Sonic, Little Sally and Dulcy's mother, Sabina, but are unable to prevent Robotnik from roboti-sizing Uncle Chuck or from relegating the King to the Void. After they return to the present, Sonic laments that the trip was a waste, but Sally reminds him that they came close and they will keep trying until they do triumph over Robotnik.

Antoine decides to study martial arts but after he wrecks most of Knothole Sonic sends him off to practice in the woods, where he runs into a scurvy band of Road Warrior-types, called the Nasty Hyenas. After he uses his unique style against them, they hail him as their King, granting his every wish or whim. This greatly appeals to Antoine's ego, so when Sonic and the others track him down, he's not eager to leave his adoring followers. He insults his friends and resigns from the Freedom Fighters, who gladly leave him behind...until they find out the Hyenas are cannibals who eat their Kings. / Tails begins his training to become a real Freedom Fighter by learning tracking skills while on a camping trip with Sonic and Antoine. But after a scary ghost story about a “Headless Gopher with a Gold Medallion” he believes a ghost kidnapped Antoine.
