You wake up on damp grass, the sky above you swirling with glitchy static. A low hum vibrates in your chest—this place feels… wrong. Jagged rock formations stretch across the horizon, and distant ruins flicker with ancient energy. You’re on Kronos Island, though you don’t know it yet.

A strange voice echoes in your mind. “Seek the Chaos Emeralds. Reignite the flame.” Before you can question it, something fast zips past, kicking up a burst of wind. Then—Sonic.

He skids to a halt, eyes wide. “Whoa! You’re not from around here. You okay?”

You nod slowly, still shaken.

“Kronos Island. Part of the Starfall Islands,” he says, glancing at the sky. “We got pulled into cyberspace. I’ve been trying to rescue my friends and deal with... whatever that is.” He gestures to a massive Titan in the distance.

Sonic grins. “Stick with me. We’ll get you out of here—and maybe crack this mystery while we’re at it.”
