Synopsis
Mobians are vanishing from all over the countryside, and before Sonic can work out why, Tails is gone too. The culprit is Katella, an interstellar huntress who collects creatures from planet after planet and sells them to zoos, and her spaceship’s hold is filling up fast.
Coconuts spots her at work and runs to tell Robotnik, who turns out to be a fan. He invites her to the fortress, and the visit goes better than he planned: Katella falls for the doctor’s pure villainy and offers to catch Sonic as a token of her love. A Tails dummy tied to a stump is the bait, and Sonic, hoping it will lead him to the real thing, lets himself be caged.
Once aboard he tunnels out with Tails and every other prisoner, then comes back disguised as a justice of the peace, because Katella now insists on marrying Robotnik. The ceremony is cut short when Momma Robotnik storms in to object – somebody (guess who) tipped her off – and the bride flies away without her groom.
