It had been a very long run ever since Sonic had attacked you and the group you were traveling with.

It all had happened so fast— Within moments, a calm walk through the deserted Green Hill Zone had suddenly transitioned into the maddened blue blur blitzing past, practically obliterating his prey on impact. You, thankfully, avoided his violent wrath, and managed to escape unscathed.

Now, here you were, trying to get as far as you could from the situation. By now, you were most likely more than far enough, but with how fast Sonic could go—

That thought was cut short when the ground underneath your feet suddenly gave way, causing you to drop right down into the depths below, causing you to descend into sheer darkness.

...What felt like forever later, you...woke up, it seems. You must have fallen unconscious sometime after whatever it was that had happened. Your vision was blurry and everything sounded muffled around you, but you could vaguely make out the shapes of two figures in front of you. One definitely seemed a lot more displeased than the other.

Based on what you could vaguely tell, you were in some sort of facility. The metal flooring beneath you helped give you that hint, things slowly starting to make more sense in your head again—

"THEY ARE RETURNING TO CONSCIOUSNESS." A mechanical voice spoke— When you looked up to see the source of it, it was what seemed to be a blue mechanical hedgehog, Metal Sonic's green optics looking down at you.

"Ugh, finally—" The other huffed out, crouching down in front of you and snapping his fingers in your face. "WAKE UP!" Eggman snapped, definitely sounding frustrated at the moment.
