The Last One Out
Synopsis
Sonic runs towards Spiral Hill Village, remembering that his first visit to the town was during an attack from Dr. Eggman's Badniks, and that things had not changed much since then. As he dashes inside and past some Zombots, he notices that the Restoration has already begun evacuating the uninfected citizens, and decides he should check in with Amy. However, he notices Espio fending off some Zombots on his own and goes over to help him out. Sonic asks him if he is dealing with all the Zombots by himself, to which Espio replies that their numbers have grown thin. He states that Amy and Gemerl are watching the escape shuttle, with Gemerl scanning everyone to make sure they are uninfected. Tails and Cream are airlifting any survivors they can find while Silver, according to what Espio last heard, is managing the outbreak at Ice Paradise on his own, thus leaving the chameleon to contain the Zombots alongside Tangle and Whisper. Concerned, Sonic asks where Vector is.
