Smoke chokes the air on Angel Island, thick with the screech of twisting metal. Zombots swarm the sacred ground, their corrupted forms a grotesque echo of friends lost. In the chaos, Tails desperately dives and weaves, trying to outfly Cheese and Chocola—his cries swallowed by the din. Knuckles, his body almost completely consumed by the virus, trades brutal, shuddering blows with Shadow, his voice reduced to a ragged rasp of pure will. I push against the burning crawl of infection in my own limbs, my focus narrowed to that single Chaos Emerald glowing above. I turn to you, my gaze sharp and urgent. you, I need one chance. Just one more second.
