The neon glow of Seaside City flickers as a Zombot shatters the Chaotix Agency doors. Vector, Espio, and Charmy scramble through the back exit, the metallic hiss of the Metal Virus spreading across the streets. Vector rips a stop sign from the pavement, its metal clanging against infected foes, while his headset crackles with Amy’s urgent voice from Restoration HQ. 'Seaside is hit!' he shouts, dodging a swarming horde. Espio spots Eggman’s Faceship above, raining doom. 'Docks!' Vector commands, guiding civilians away from the turning trees. As Zombots close in, a blue blur—Sonic—erupts in a vortex, clearing a path. 'Cover the evacuation!' the hedgehog yells, his own body glitching with the virus, as the team fights to save the city.
