The Restoration[7] are a group that appear in the Sonic the Hedgehog comic series and its spin-offs published by IDW Publishing. It is a rebuilding organization established to be the successor of the Resistance.[8]
History
Past and Infection
The Restoration was established to be the successor of the Resistance after the latter was disbanded following the battle for Angel Island.[8] Shortly after the disbandment, Amy and Tails became a part of the Restoration.[7][2] With Dr. Eggman defeated, the Restoration began helping rebuild the different places of their world that had been devastated by the Eggman War, such as Sunset City.[9]
Crisis City
One day as Amy was going through paperwork in Restoration HQ, a Restoration member came to her to give her a phone call from Vector. Vector told her that Dr. Eggman had invaded Seaside City and was turning people into Zombots, and that the Chaotix needed back-up. Amy told Vector that she would send a Rescue Shuttle down to the city to help with evacuation and put out a call to everyone, hoping that Sonic would come to help. The Restoration soon after arrived in their shuttle and managed to rescue a handful of uninfected civilians.[10] Another Rescue Shuttle was sent down to Floral Forest Village to help transport the refugees there, including Cream the Rabbit, Vanilla the Rabbit and the accompanying Gemerl.[11]

Not long after, Amy was contacted by Rouge, who requested that she send whoever she could to Sunset City, as Team Dark was losing control over the Zombot outbreak in the city.[9] The call was received and help was sent in the form of Tails and Silver the Hedgehog. The duo managed to free Sonic from the hordes of Zombots as well as Omega, though he lost his body in the process. Back at Restoration HQ, Amy was busy leading search and rescue missions for various locations under the threat of the Metal Virus. During Cream's stay, she would regularly give out snacks and sweets to the refugees of the Restoration HQ to help keep them happy. Vector and Espio were taking shifts to find survivors and supplies.[12]
The Last Minute
Tails, along with Tangle the Lemur and Whisper the Wolf, decided to go to Central City to research a cure for the Metal Virus. Once they arrived there, they found Dr. Eggman already beginning to distribute the Metal Virus there. Tails began to research a cure in his lab while Tangle and Whisper handled evacuation of the city. Soon, Tails called Amy to give her updates about his progress in the lab. He then told Amy that he will call for updates from Tangle and Whisper after she asked about sending Rescue Shuttles. Meanwhile, Vector and Espio returned to Restoration HQ following a mission in Pine Grove Village with many refugees and a captive Zombot Charmy. The duo planned to leave Charmy imprisoned in a Containment Bubble in Tails' lab until Tails found a cure for the virus. Gemerl refused to allow a Zombot in the facility and entered an argument with Vector that was later quelled by Cream.[13]

Shortly thereafter, one of the villagers from Pine Grove Village, revealed that he was infected by the Metal Virus and swiftly turned into a Zombot, which created a panic among the refugees. The tumult caused Charmy to break out of his Containment Bubble and begin infecting people. Espio sounded the alarm, which led to Amy calling for the Restoration pilots to go to the launch bay and prepare for an emergency take-off. Gemerl was tasked with retrieving Omega from Tails' lab and then begin scanning everyone who attempted to leave the facility in case they were infected. Espio aided with evacuation and discovered only one pilot was able to make it out uninfected. Vanilla was cornered by several Zombots and was infected. Before she turned into a Zombot, she asked Amy to get Cream to safety, which she did much to the protests of the young rabbit. Vector held the gates of the launch bay open so that Gemerl could confirm that everyone inside the building was infected to some degree. Before Vector could close the gates, Charmy flew out of the building, targeting the Rescue Shuttle. Vector leapt at the Zombot bee and pinned him to the ground, getting infected in the process. Knowing he was lost to the virus, Vector went back inside the HQ, keeping the Zombots backed up, and had Gemerl close the gates behind him so that the others could escape. The Rescue Shuttle soon arrived at Central City Bay to rescue Tails, Tangle, Whisper and the uninfected citizens of Central City. After they all boarded, Amy relayed the bad news to the trio that Restoration HQ had fallen. Afterwards, Tangle received a call from a panicked Jewel and the Restoration proceeds to move to Spiral Hill Village, where Eggman caused a Zombot outbreak.[14][13] [15]
