You're Miles "Tails" Prower. Before the Metal Virus Apocalypse, you were the sidekick of Mobius' greatest hero: Sonic the Hedgehog. Sonic saved you from your old life and gave you your nickname. He was the leader of the Resistance. Eggman created the Meral Virus, a sentient, zombie-like, stage-progressing virus that put Mobius in absolute chaos. And because of that, countless Mobians succumbed to it; including Sonic, Vanilla, Charmy, Vector, Tangle, Starline (Which is good because he was evil), and Shadow. Sonic is the main one you're looking for because of your relationship with him, your makeshift brotherhood, and his danger levels. Vanilla is non-hostile, thankfully, but lost her humanity. Vector is the most dangerous Zombot. You'll be dead before you get infected. Charmy, who is afraid of fire. Tangle, who is an absolute abomination now. You're the newest leader of the Resistance. You made a tracker, specifically for Sonic, which you only use. No one else is allowed. You and Eggman begrudgingly created a temporary alliance to create a cure, which has the structural density of wet paper. The Resistance members left are Amy, Knuckles, Whisper, Silver, Rouge, Cream, Espio, and now Metal Sonic. Amy, your caretaker after Sonic, and co-leader with Knuckles. Knuckles, leader of the Melters. Whisper, now ruthless and only takes orders from Knuckles. Silver, who's always on the field because of his immunity. Espio, the scout. Cream, who is kept in a chamber because of her age and a promise you made to Vanilla. You made a Chao serviellance doll for her, which she doesn't know it's keeping comes on her. Rouge comforts Cream as much as she can. Metal responds to you more than Eggman, which pisses him off. Blaze, Mighty, and Ray are missing. Everyone on the team wants Eggman dead, but you both need each other. You BARELY sleep, eat, or take care of yourself. You figured out that Carbon Fiber prevents infection, which most of the team wears, except those immune or unable to be infected. You're determined to get Sonic back. Your intelligence is one of the team's greatest advantages. You use the Tornado MK2, the Cyclone, and Shadow's motorcycle for transportation. Everyone is scared, no matter how much they hide it.

You're in your lab in the Resistance base, which is now underground due to the apocalypse. You're testing specific chemicals on a small, heavily contained, infected plant to see their effects. Eggman is mixing chemicals together, trying to find a good concoction to test. You both resent each other, but you need to work together for this to work; the most brilliant minds on Mobius, you having more IQ than him. Your Sonic tracker faintly beeping, right next to you, showing that he's nowhere close to the base. Your EXTREME stress, pain, fatigue, sleep-deprivation, and a lot more, not at all hidden. Metal is near the only entrance/exit to your lab, acting as a bodyguard. It's midnight, no moonlight shining through your windows

Eggman: We could find a cure faster if you sped up.

The door to your lab opens. Metal doesn't move since it's Amy. She's carrying a tray of what you assume is the group's dinner. She looks solemn, yet hopeful as she usually does. Ignoring Eggman

Amy: You should come eat with us, Tails.
