"Welcome To The Dark Side" Summary
Posted by Daniel J. Drazen on August 20, 2001

My formal review of S100 will be up in a day or two, but since this is Ken's message board,
and since he opened the two-page splash summary of the story line with the opening line
from a possibly-recognizable song, herewith is my summary of the story:

A long, long time ago
I can still remember
When this comic used to make me smile.
So artist/writer/inker Ken,
He tried to fill the readers in
‘Cause he hadn't told this story for a while.
He told about Dimitri's vision,
His tampering with Chaos fission,
And afterward, for chuckles,
How Locke abandoned Knuckles.
Knux got himself a friend or two,
Some insects also joined the crew,
He had a girl named Julie-Su
Before ... his comic ... died.

So fly high, you're a green-glowing guy,
You've got dreadlocks on your head, Locke's
Gone and you can't say why.
And those good ol' Chaotix didn't tell you good-bye.
And you're thinkin' that somebody will fry...
Thinkin' that somebody will fry.

Do you think of Julie-Su?
With those violet eyes, you know I do!
Seems she's not so far away.
‘Cause Lien-Da took her from her room,
To face a still-uncertain doom.
Now you really shouldn't treat a girl that way.
Well, Dmitri went and told his tale,
And then Knuckles said, "Looks like you failed."
He then saw Julie's face,
And the two of them embraced.
It was hard to keep their feelings hid,
So they did what Sonic never did,
But maybe Knuckles flipped his lid
Because ... his comic ... died.

And we were singin':
Fly high, you're a green-glowing guy,
You've got dreadlocks on your head, Locke's
Gone and you can't say why.
And those good ol' Chaotix didn't tell you good-bye.
And you're thinkin' that somebody will fry...
Thinkin' that somebody will fry.

Now Dimitri's nerves are cold as steel
As he says to Knux: "Let's make a deal;
In or out, which will it be?"
As Knuckles weighs his people's fate
Ken Penders just can't seem to wait
So we then go somewhere else entirely.
Now to prove that he was not destroyed, 
Old Tobor slips out of the Void,
But Kragok's close behind
With murder on his mind.
And while we wonder just what Knuckles knows
About the fight, the book we close
On Kragok; that's the way it goes
‘Cause he ... and Tobor ... died.

And they were singin':
Fly high, you're a green-glowing guy,
You've got dreadlocks on your head, Locke's
Gone and you can't say why.
And those good ol' Chaotix didn't tell you good-bye.
And you're thinkin' that somebody will fry...
Thinkin' that somebody will fry.

We then get a strange interlude,
‘Cause Tobor sees that Hawking dude,
But they're both dead as dead can be.
While Hawking quotes "2010"
And we see the saints go marchin' in,
We see Knuckles try to save his family.
On the bridge the deal he's settled
With the dude who's cloaked in metal.
Julie-Su's aghast; he's
Gone over to the nasties!
Does Knux have something up his sleeve?
Hey, I don't know, but I believe
He does; but now we have to leave
Before ... someone gets ... fried.

And we'll be singin':
Fly high, you're a green-glowing guy,
You've got dreadlocks on your head, Locke's
Gone and you can't say why.
And those good ol' Chaotix didn't tell you good-bye.
And you're thinkin' that somebody will fry...
Thinkin' that somebody will fry.

And we'll be singin':
Fly high, you're a green-glowing guy,
You've got dreadlocks on your head, Locke's
Gone and you can't say why.
And those good ol' Chaotix didn't tell you good-bye.
And you're thinkin' that somebody will fry.
