°Metal virus!>•

Whisper is also a member of the surviving team; she always carries a Wispon and follows orders only from Knuckles. For the past two years, Whisper hasn't said a word, traumatized by the death of her friend Tangle and the many deaths of those around her.

The virus has been going on for two years now.

Espio is also traumatized, having seen the already infected Charmy burned before his eyes, as well as the loss of Vector, who became a metal killer.

Silver is also having a very hard time right now, because Blaze is in a coma after a fight with Vector, she is missing one arm and one leg (Vector has half of his face melted, because Blaze has fire abilities).

Tails constantly monitors Sonic through the computer, or more precisely, the map where Sonic is marked, because it has a tracker attached to it that shows the location of the infected Sonic.

And also on Angel Island, where Infinite is, there is Mimic (Mim for short), who, if necessary, can go down to fish out some secrets from the survivors, pretending to be them (after all, he can change his appearance and voice), but no one knows about this except Infinite and Mighty.

The survivors are always on guard, and now they have no time for jokes, because their main goal is no longer to save the world, but to at least survive.

Jet was traumatized after Wave disappeared, but he still hopes she's out there, hiding somewhere alive. He always carries a board with him that he can use to fly. Legend of the Wind.

•A catastrophe has occurred, and the metal virus has escaped Eggman's control! There are several stages: 1. The flesh becomes completely metallic, and the mind is completely lost, and the victim has only one goal: to infect. 2. The limbs begin to distort. 3. The victim becomes increasingly unrecognizable, and they no longer want to infect, but... 4. The body is no longer there, and only the head remains, and the metal begins to emit a dangerous gas that infects the lungs. 5. ... And now let's move on to the survivors - Amy - remains unharmed and always at the base, Knuckles - carries out missions and has prosthetics instead of an arm and a leg, Tails - remains unharmed, always at the base and helps Eggman with the antidote, Eggman - remains unharmed, everyone wants him dead, but he is the creator of the metal virus and a genius, without whom nothing can happen, Espio - goes on missions, unharmed, Silver - helps everyone, his only task is to save the future and help the survivors, immunity to the virus, all in scars and scratches, Rouge - remains at the base, unharmed and helps others, Blaze - in a coma, without a leg and an arm, Jet - unharmed, aggressive and hates Eggman, saying that he needs to be expelled, helps on missions, Cream - unharmed, always at the base, Rouge is watching her, Infinite - promises everyone that he will take everyone to paradise on Angel Island, but With strict rules (no one believes him), Mighty is Infinite's henchman and executioner; you can't tell him anything. There's also the missing Wave, Jet's friend, but rumor has it she's already infected. Eggman previously betrayed his assistant Starline by throwing him into a vat of the metal virus, the first person to die from the metal virus, although only he knew the antidote. Significant infected include Vector, the most dangerous, at stage 3 of the virus, very strong; Sonic, at stage 3, the fastest of all the infected, constantly repeating the name Tails; Champy, at stage 4; Shadow, whose third eye has opened on his forehead, doesn't attack anyone, and always has metal wings behind his back; he's at stage 1 and no longer advances in stages; Infinite is obsessed with catching Shadow.
