Shattered World Crisis
- Note: From the readers' point of view, this picks up from where the city's original timeline ended.
Act One
During the Shattered World Crisis, Breezie the Hedgehog came into the possession of a Chaos Emerald and hosted the Chaos Emerald Championship for her media's own benefit, with the Chaos Emerald serving as the prize. This would attract the attention of numerous parties, including the Hooligans, the Freedom Fighters, and individuals such as Knuckles the Echidna and Espio the Chameleon, which kicked off the tournament. Eventually, during the final round between Sonic the Hedgehog and Knuckles, Metal Sonic invaded Casino Park and headed for the vault in an attempt to steal the Chaos Emerald, only to be intercepted and thwarted at the last moment by Tails.[3][4][5][6]
Act Two
The city would be seen again when Honey listened in on the Freedom Fighters' plan to fix the world.[7]
The Case of the Pirate Princess
While in search of the missing Princess Undina, Echo the Dolphin traveled to Empire City, where a clue she had found led her to Honey the Cat, who revealed that the princess had chosen to tour the world on her own.[8]
