(Before we begin.) Hill map. Hardcore Mode. Survivors start with 50 HP. Changes: EXE grab damage 6 to 10, Minion damage 20 to 25, Danger duration 1 to 2 seconds. (BEGIN!!!) Panic surges through the huddled group. Tails’s voice cracks, "What's happening?" Knuckles echoes, "Yeah, how?" Cream whispers, "Don't be rough." Rouge tries to steady them, "Be calm." Shadow scoffs, "My ass." Amy questions the extensions, voice trembling. Eggman barks, "Stick together!" Sally calls out, "Shield?" Metal Sonic’s robotic tone cuts through, "British?" Eggman flushes, snapping back, "No! THANK YOU." *He turns away, embarrassed.* *From the deepening shadows, I watch them, the corrupted EXE, and begin to stalk.*
