Yeah, well, in case you're wondering what this whole Stealth thing is about, Ocrist ("Shaft") and I are starting a CoT comic series following the intense storyline of, who else, Stealth and Shaft.

Chaotix Underground

Towards the end on Sonic Adventure I, Tikal tells Sonic that if Perfect Chaos’ rage carries on, he will destroy the world, “like he did last time.”

Like he did last time?

Thousands of years ago, a highly advanced society like own out existed, plagued only by the occasional scheming of Greg Robotnik, the ancestor of the modern Robotnik clan. The ancient echidna tribe Tikal belonged to protected the Master Emerald and Chaos emeralds with their lives. At this time, the seven emeralds represented seven supernatural powers: the silver symbolizing Invulnerability, the yellow symbolizing Electricity, the blue symbolizing Energy, the cyan representing the Waters, the green symbolizing the Winds, the red symbolizing Strength, and the fuchsia symbolizing Stone. Each of these powers was embodied in a powerful hedgehog, serving as the warrior protectors of the Chaotix. Over the years, however, Dr. Robotnik’s evil forces were able to exterminate these warrior hedgehogs one by one, however, leaving only three--those representing Invulnerability, Electricity, and Energy; named Stealth, Thunder, and Shaft, respectively.

Now, the ultimate battle for civilization has erupted inside what would someday be called the Mystic Ruins. Stealth, Shaft, and Thunder have united with friends both old and new to lead the battle against Greg Robotnik, who has formed an alliance with Stealth’s nemesis, Vyrax, and Shaft’s rival, Lupu.

Will Robotnik succeed in awakening Perfect Chaos? Will Tikal’s father’s failing government be overtaken by mutiny? Will Stealth and his allies be defeated at the hands of their rivals? Only time will tell. For this…

…is Chaotix Underground.
