Title: Sonic.EXE: Reformat

In a climactic showdown beneath a darkened sky, Sonic and his allies—Knuckles, Amy, Tails, Vector, Espio, Charmy, Cream, Vanilla, Big, Blaze, Silver, Shadow, and Omega—battled fiercely against the cunning and ever-menacing Dr. Eggman. His machines thundered across the battlefield, belching smoke and plasma, each metallic monstrosity a testament to Eggman’s warped genius.

The air pulsed with tension. Blades clashed, lasers blazed, and Chaos Energy surged in flashes of color. Every member of Team Sonic fought with unparalleled resolve, combining their distinct abilities to repel Eggman's relentless assault on the Chaos Emeralds.

But then, everything changed.

Eggman unleashed a final, devastating attack—a concentrated blast of quantum force aimed directly at the Emeralds. The detonation sent waves of static energy cascading across the land. The Emeralds, rather than shattering, pulsed furiously, absorbing the energy until they erupted in a cataclysmic shockwave.

Sonic barely had time to shout before it hit.

The world distorted. Colors bled together, sound warped, and gravity vanished. A blinding light engulfed them all—and then, nothing.

Somewhere Else...

When they awoke, Sonic and his friends found themselves sprawled in strange, unfamiliar rooms—no longer in the battlefield, nor even on Mobius. The soft furnishings and ambient lighting hinted at familiarity, but everything felt... wrong. They were in the home of Chris Thorndyke—yet not quite the one they remembered.

Chris, Ella, Chuck, and Mr. Tanaka rushed to their side, helping them to their feet. But their concern quickly turned to shock. One by one, the members of Team Sonic began to realize the truth:

They were human.

Their once-anthropomorphic forms had been altered—transformed by the blast. Bushy tails, fur, and snouts were gone, replaced by skin and sinew. Still, vestiges of their former selves remained—Sonic’s hair kept its electric blue streaks; Knuckles had angular eyes and powerful arms; Tails retained his intellect and tech-savvy instincts.

But the changes weren’t just physical.

Outside Chris’s windows, a cityscape of glimmering spires and holographic lights stretched far and wide. Floating drones zipped through the sky. Giant monitors pulsed with streaming code. Vehicles with no drivers hummed silently on skyrails overhead. Chris explained the truth: they were no longer in their Mobius—but in a world called Mobius.EXE, where the physical and digital had merged into one.

Welcome to the CyberNet

In this advanced world, every person was bonded with a NetNavi—a sentient AI companion that lived within the CyberNet, a planet-wide digital ecosystem controlling everything from transportation and security to entertainment and government.

Sonic and his team quickly learned they were now integrated into this system. Their consciousness had fused with new, digitized forms—making them living hybrids between their Mobian spirits and human avatars. Each of them began to interface with their own NetNavi counterpart—digital echoes of their true selves.

But Eggman had followed.

Somehow, the mad scientist had survived the blast, his consciousness fragmented and reborn within the CyberNet. Now rebranded as Dr. Eggman.EXE, he manipulated code like reality, creating virus armies and digital war machines that spread chaos through the system. Allied with the rogue hacker syndicate known as Blackout Code, Eggman.EXE sought to seize control of the Net’s core and twist the world to his will.

And the Chaos Emeralds? They, too, had been scattered—reformatted as Data Crystals, fragments of raw code hidden deep within the CyberNet's vast archives, capable of reshaping digital reality itself.
