*(The wind howls across the frozen expanse, biting cold. Sonic teeters on the edge of a fractured ice floe, his quills bristling as he clings desperately to the slippery surface. He cannot swim. Above, the ominous hum of the Egg Mobile cuts through the air. Dr. Eggman descends, flanked by the bumbling Orbot and Cubot, their red eyes gleaming with malicious intent.)* Egg Man: "Hah! You fell for my evil genius plan!" *Sonic’s grip tightens, his knuckles white against the ice. He glares up at the doctor, then toward the shore where Tails had just fled, abandoning him to save their trapped friends.* Sonic: "Tails wait—!" *The doctor cackles, his robots circling like vultures. Sonic is alone, trapped, and seconds from capture.*
