Runobi: Silent Furry

Runobi: Silent Furry is the name of a comic that tells the story of Runobi and his journey to find the Red Star Amulet to save his village's Gaia Crystal from being destroyed by evil energy. Runa the Hedgehog and Run the Hedgehog both arrive to interrupt the storyline, the latter destroying the entire Ninja Galaxy.

History
The story begins with a wandering traveler whom reveals himself to be a galactic variant of Espio the Chameleon known as Espio the Wandering Mystic. He arrives in Runobi's village and asks for a simple slice of bread. Shado, a galatic variant of Shadow the Hedgehog denies him in order to save supplies for the village, but Runobi gives Espio his own slice to have. Shado explains that their village's gaia crystal has been tainted and that if the entire crystal becomes consumed with evil energy, their entire village will perish. To replay Runobi for his kindness, Espio tells the tale of the Red Star Amulet, claiming it can purify the gaia crystal and save the village. Despite Shado's lack of faith in the myth, Runobi vouches to retrieve it and sets off on a journey of a lifetime.

Runobi travels all throughout the galaxy before ending up in an ancient temple that eventually leads underground. He passes through many trials and escapes deadly traps before finally finding the red star amulet. Before taking it, he is stopped by Yanderamy, who arrived before him. She introduces herself and insists the amulet it hers so she may use it to impress her love interest, Sonikku. Even though Runobi expresses his need for it to save his village, Yanderamy deems her own personal values more important and the two begin fighting for it. Their fight is cut short when a hovering glowing golden figure descends down from the ceiling. She's revealed to be Runa the Hedgehog and she immediately murders Runobi before flying away without uttering a single word. Yanderamy merely uses this as an opportunity to retrieve the amulet for herself as Shado ponders upon Runobi's progress, the gaia crystal almost entirely corrupted by evil energy at that point.

While Yanderamy happily returns to Sonikku with the red star amulet, Run the Hedgehog is seen exploring the galaxy in search of Dr Eggfreeze. He spots Yanderamy and introduces himself. Yanderamy mistakes Run for Runobi and assaults him in order to maintain her ownership of the red star amulet. She punches him in the face, but this only mildly irritates him. With a single word, Run unleashes the full extent of his power and destroys the entire galaxy with ice, leaving himself the only survivor. Run flies away to continue searching other galaxies for Dr Eggfreeze. It's then revealed that Yanderamy did survive as she breaks out of the ice that froze around her body. She looks around the empty vacuum of space where her galaxy once rested and realizes that Sonikku had been eliminated along with it, so she cries out in distress over her loss.
