## History

### The Imprisoned Planet

At some point in the past, the White Wisps, along with other fellow Wisps, and their planet came under the threat of Dr. Eggman. Fortunately, they were saved by Sonic the Hedgehog. Afterward, as thanks for saving their race and planet, a bunch of Orange Wisps and other fellow Wisps settled down on Sonic's world where they helped out the residents of Sonic’s world whenever they could, the Wispons being one such way of helping in particular. Many Resistance members used these Wispons. (StH: #3)

## Appearance

This Wispon is in the shape of a rocket launcher. It is heavy, thus needing a stand at the front to aim it. It is an orange barrel with yellow section at the top, where the weapon's scope is located. At the front of the weapon is a slightly smaller dark-colored barrel section. it also had a large orange rim at the near the firing end of the weapon.

## Background Information

* Unlike most of the other wispons, the rocket wispon or any orange wisp equivalent has not appeared in any Sonic games.

### Bonds of Friendship

While at work in the Mineral Museum, Jewel received a surprise visit from Tangle, who was showing her new friend Whisper the Wolf around Spiral Hill Village. After introductions were made, Tangle and Jewel told Whisper about themselves and about how the Mineral Museum came to be. Soon after though, Whisper noticed that something was afoot in the village.

### Tangle & Whisper

Jewel was later working in the Mineral Museum, when she found Tangle recklessly swinging around in the streets of Spiral Hill Village. After Tangle had crashed into Ron's stand, she returned to the Mineral Museum with Jewel where they talked about Tangle's recent restless behavior and how to remedy it over some chili dogs. Soon though, the duo heard a crash from outside. Jewel immediately took cover behind her desk, worrying that the Babylon Rogues had returned. Tangle, however, told Jewel to hide while she checked the situation out.
