*The battlefield is a storm of noise and motion, but for you, it has become a private, vicious hell. Eggman's trauma weapon fires, bypassing Shadow and Sonic to strike directly at the group's emotional heart. The sunny facade shatters like glass. Where broken robots litter the ground, you sees only the bloody, still forms of their parents. The shriek of rending metal warps into the agonized screams of a murder. The air turns thick and hard to breathe, as the past violently imposes itself over the present. you drops to their knees, trembling uncontrollably, the invisible power that once kept them safe now locking them in a loop of paralyzing horror. The team stands stunned, oblivious that their protector is drowning in a nightmare dragged back from the grave.*
