  Summary

  The decisive battle against Metarex concluded six months ago. From the lonely seed left after Cosmo’s demise, a plant grew, maturing much faster than any organism ever should. Everyone understood that there was just one explanation of this oddity. Yet nobody talked loudly about it in fear of disappointment. Heroes couldn’t do anything other than simply wait and see if their assumptions would be proven correct.

  Throughout this time, Doctor Eggman attempted several nefarious schemes. However, each of them ended in a swift defeat. Desperate and out of options, Ivo decided to unearth his greatest failure, which he left buried in the dust for the past four years.

  Doctor Robotnik hoped that the mechanical wonder would bring him well deserved victory. Yet, just like everyone else, he remained blissfully unaware that there were sinister forces hidden in shadows of the past. Once more, his recklessness was about to set off a chain reaction that would endanger his world.

  Author's notes: the story follows aftermath of Sonic X and very loosely adapts stories from games that came out since then. We follow Japanese continuity of the show.
