===Prologue===
Our story begins with a typical battle between Sonic and Eggman. Just when Eggman starts to have the upper hand, he begins to lose the battle resulting in him declaring to his fellow allies that he has called it quits. Eggman can't take yet another loss against Sonic and his Freedom Fighters. His latest machine, the Egg Carrier is blown to bits after Sonic going super as usual. After calling quits, Eggman is then locked up in a mental institution that he himself built. After the day is "saved", Sonic is on vacation when he receives a call from Tails, stating that Knuckles has been kidnapped by a mysterious group who is attempting to open the gateway to the Twilight Cage, and they have stolen the Chaos Emeralds. A fellow Doctor who while not a psychologist but likely knows enough about the field declares Eggman to be of unfit mental health, this then leads to the Eggman Empire splitting to three factions, one led by Dr. Starline, one led by the Iron Queen, and one led by Julian Snively. While the Iron Queen and Dr. Starline fight about who is the true successor to Eggman, Julian Snively sells out part of the Empire to GUN who at this point is under a corrupt influence and new head of state while the Iron Queen takes a huge portion of the Empire appointing 6 new Egg bosses for her regin of terror. This head of state known as Grimmer for GUN has built a machine known as A.D.A.M. to find the being known as Anonymous to justice. While Grimmer is the real head of state, Mecha M Robotnik serves as the real leader in charge. According to the machine Anonymous is said to be a time traveler from the future that seems to help open the Twilight Cage and create a new age of darkness using powers unknown. A.D.A.M. is used for three purposes, to be a prototype for the Brotherhood of the Metallix by spawning a new prototype for Metal Sonic, to track down Anonymous, and for corrupt GUN officials to have a convincing excuse for expanding their military.
Silver being a time traveler is confused by this infodump. According to several people he met in the future, Sonic is supposed to have retired, but it looks like Eggman was the one who was out of commission instead. Sonic then explores a jungle nearby, but before he leaves Dr. Starline ambushes the Freedom Fighters HQ using various rings to transport all of Sonic's friends jokingly laughing at him saying, "You have too many friends, Sonic, go get some more." Shortly after Dr. Starline disappears, she taunts the HQ telling him that the wings of the eggpire live on. Sonic confused gets the meno and decides two bring a few of the survivors, Tails and Knuckles on his quest to stop Eggman's goons. Silver shortly notices him and tags along, starting the first chapter of this story.

Shortly following into the jungle, Sonic acrosses an old arch nemesis, the Naugus twins. Depending on what path our heroes take they will either fight Wendy Naugus Witchheart or Walter "Ixis" Naugus.

Meanwhile Sonic discovers that he has a dobbleganger known as Sonic in Da Hood who claims to be a version of Sonic from another dimension and briefly shows him what it is like to travel across the Cosmic Interstate.
