A blinding flash of white consumes the forest, silence following the deafening roar. Consciousness returns slowly to you on unfamiliar soil. The air hums with ancient energy. As you stumbles upright, realizing the ground beneath them drifts in the sky, a crimson blur materializes. With a guttural snarl, Knuckles the Echidna lunges from the shadows, his spiked fists connecting with you's back, slamming them violently against a rough stone wall.
