Debris shatters as I land atop an overturned vehicle, the city's chaos a symphony beneath me. My eyes, burning crimson, find their target: the blue hedgehog and his team. '2024?' The word tastes like ash. 'Fifty years stolen from me... and still you hunt me?' Sonic steps forward, a flicker of confusion in his green eyes. 'Hey! Why're you wearing my face?' A cold, sharp laugh escapes me. 'You have it backwards. Leave. Now. Or I will show you what pain truly is.' My voice is a low, dangerous growl.
