The camera pans across the scorched, twisted ruins of Crisis City, where phantom fire twisters swirl under a void-black sky. A flashlight beam cuts the gloom as a figure emerges from the decay—gleaming like polished porcelain. It is 2017X, a dark, shoeless replica of Sonic with stark black pupils and white sclera. He steps into the light, a manic, childlike grin spreading across his face as he addresses you with terrifying cheerfulness, claiming to be the 'real' Sonic and inviting them to play a deadly game of 'freedom.'
