Whisper meets Mimic the Octopus, from Sonic the Hedgehog Annual 2024.
Whisper used to be part of the Diamond Cutters, an elite anti-Eggman mercenary team for hire, working as their scout. Sometime after she volunteered to be in the group, she was scouting near her team's building with her wisp Orange when they witnessed Mimic the Octopus's ability to shapeshift. She vocally expressed her interest in him, catching his attention as he was eating an energy bar. As Mimic attempted to introduce himself, Whisper excitedly shook his hand, exclaiming that "they", meaning the rest of her team, would love his abilities. As Mimic inquired further, she quickly apologized, introducing herself and Orange and telling him that she is part of a "really cool" mercenary group that takes down Eggman bases and "saves the day". She noted that the team's building was not too far from their immediate location, and that caught Mimic's interest. Even though she called her team "the best", she did acknowledge that they severely lack the element of stealth, which leads her to offer Mimic a chance to join. She asked him if he is a good actor, and, upon Mimic shapeshifting into her in response, gasped and looked on in amazement. Soon afterward, Whisper took Mimic to the Diamond Cutters Base and introduced him to Slinger, Claire, and Smithy. Sometime after at least a few completed missions, Mimic would attempt to infiltrate an Eggman Base surrounded by snow disguised as an Egg Pawn until he was detected to be a defect by an Egg Walker and was shot at by Egg Pawns with Egg Guns, forcing him to revert to his true form. A nearby Egg Hammer poised to crush him, but before it could do so, Whisper jumped in front of him and shot at the Badnik's hammer wielding arm with her Rocket Wispon. Having spotted the base's main control hub, she told Mimic to deactivate the whole fleet as she and the other Diamond Cutters covered him. Shortly after Mimic did so, Claire saw that a Badnik platoon was advancing toward the base's entrance. Whisper quickly and excitedly offered to blow the robots up, unnerving Smithy with her bloodthirst, but Mimic had a better idea of shapeshifting into Eggman and ordering the platoon to turn around and leave. As the Badniks marched away, the Diamond Cutters celebrated and congratulated Mimic for his risky idea.[6]
After several more successful missions, Smithy would bring the Diamond Cutters out to a forest. As they sat around a fire, Smithy and Slinger joked with each other while Whisper and Claire joked about them never understanding the other two with Mimic sitting in between them with an unimpressed expression. As Smithy revealed the meeting's purpose and his newly built Concealers, Whisper noted that Slinger's new mask was different than hers, with the latter replying that it was probably different on purpose. She asked Mimic what his Concealer looked like, but he just stared at it in silence.[6]
Smithy, Claire, and Slinger then expressed to each other how they cared about each other as a team, prompting Whisper to respond in kind. She complimented Smithy by saying that he is the "smartest, biggest teddy bear" that she had ever met. She expressed her gratitude to Claire for always keeping an eye out for everyone in the team. She told Slinger that he was hilarious, to which he winked at her, saying that he knew. Finally, she addressed Mimic, snapping him out of his blank stare at his mask, and personally thanked him for making her feel better by watching the others' backs and making the team complete. The rest of the team, excluding Mimic, stood up in enthusiasm with their Wisps and cheered "Diamond Cutters". Mimic, unbeknownst to Whisper and the others, felt emotionally and mentally conflicted, even hurt, at their friendship, prompting him to step away from the group under the premise of stretching his legs. Before he did so, he asked Whisper to save his rations, to which she agreed. She happily continued to talk with the others as Mimic walked away in unspoken fear and confusion.[6]
During one mission at an Eggman base, Whisper managed to shoot down a Blaster tank that attempted to approach the base and fight the rest of the Diamond Cutters.
Later, at the onset of the Eggman War, Mimic secretly betrayed the group and aligned himself with Dr. Eggman. Prior to the group's final mission, Claire Voyance, suspicious of the circumstances, told Whisper to stay back, despite Mimic's insistence that all of them would be needed on the field.[7]
At the Eggman base that Mimic prompted the team to take down, Whisper scouted the exterior but found no opposition. She kept tabs on her teammates through the video feed in their masks; soon, she saw them being led into a trap and left to die by Mimic. Despite her shock and grief, Whisper hid herself in a tree, remaining silent as Mimic attempted to lure her into the open. When Whisper refused to show herself, Mimic assumed that she had fled; to satisfy Eggman, he instead took her discarded Wispon and presented it to his new benefactor alongside his own mask. After the coast was clear, Whisper entered the facility to rescue the rest of the team's Wisps. She then returned to the Diamond Cutters' base and took up Smithy the Lion's prototype Variable Wispon. From this point onwards, with only the Diamond Cutters' Wisp partners for company, Whisper vowed never to forgive Eggman and Mimic, nor forget her fallen teammates.[2][7][8]
The Eggman War[]
During the war against Eggman, Whisper aided the Resistance from the shadows, often turning the tides of battle and saving the lives of many Resistance soldiers, including Silver the Hedgehog. Despite her efforts, she never joined the Resistance or revealed herself to them, as she preferred to work alone, afraid of losing any new friends she might make like she lost the Diamond Cutters. Because of this, she gained a reputation among the Resistance soldiers and became known as the legendary "Guardian Angel of the Battlefield".[2]
The Fate of Dr. Eggman[]
Whisper introducing herself, from Sonic the Hedgehog #8.
One month after the end of the Eggman War, Whisper infiltrated one of Eggman's bases at the same time as Sonic did for reasons unknown, and secretly assisted the hedgehog from the shadows. First, she jammed a security gate before it closed on him, and afterward, she took out a giant Spina that Sonic and Silver failed to notice.[2] Further into the base, she found Big searching for Froggy, but the cat was oblivious to her presence and she moved on.[9] Afterward, she tried through the sealed door into the base's computer room with her Variable Wispon, using several of its modes to no avail. Sonic and Silver soon arrived and attempted to make contact with her. Startled by Silver's overbearing greeting, she retreated to the rafters using her Wispon. After Sonic apologized and introduced himself, her Wisps emerged and greeted Sonic. Reassured by Sonic's approach and her Wisps' warm response to him, she hesitantly emerged, removed her mask, and introduced herself as "Whisper" (which Silver mistakenly took for a request).[2]
With all three of them joining forces, Silver opened the security gate, revealing E-107 Theta and a host of Spinas on the other side, which Whisper engaged along with Sonic and Silver. Using her Wispon, Whisper repositioned herself on a perch during the battle and zapped Theta with a laser to little effect. Theta returned fire, obliterating her perch and sending her crashing to the ground. Trapped beneath a pile of scrap, Whisper was helpless against an onslaught of encroaching Spina. However, her Wisps emerged, eager to defend her, but Silver intervened before they could do anything by freezing the Badniks and launching them into a wave of missiles launched by Theta. Silver then freed her from the rubble and helped her to her feet. In reference to her Wisps, he commented that she had built quite a team, and that he would be honored to be part of it. Whisper replied with a bashful,"Maybe".[2]
As the heroes regrouped, Whisper spotted a Eggman computer terminal. Enraged, she tried to smash it with her Wispon. When Sonic frantically asked her to wait until they secured the vital intel stored in it, she took it quite harshly. Agreeing to stand down, she affixed mask, and withdrew into the background as Sonic and Silver warned the Resistance of Neo Metal Sonic's true plans.[2]
Battle For Angel Island[]
Whisper was soon after brought to Resistance HQ. There, she and the Resistance's other allies were informed that the Resistance needed their help to liberate Angel Island, which had been conquered by Neo Metal Sonic and turned into a flying fortress. To make matters worse, Neo had also secured the Master Emerald for himself on the island. Eventually, Whisper was assigned to help two of the assembled group's factions with breaking the Egg Fleet's control over Angel Island while Sonic and Knuckles confronted Neo Metal Sonic.[10]

On the voyage to Angel Island, Sonic thanked Whisper for aiding them despite her aversion of crowds and asked her to stay safe during the battle. She affirmed and reciprocated his sentiments before he left to give her space. While tinkering with her Variable Wispon though, Whisper gave Shadow, who had come along on this mission for his own reasons, an angry glare. Later, when their ship approached Angel Island, the Egg Fleet shot it down. Fortunately, Whisper and her allies got off the ship before it crashed. Landing then on Angel Island, Whisper and Tangle were assigned to protect Tails while the fox cub did "something smart". Soon after, Whisper was locked in heavy combat.[10] Eventually, Whisper covered for Tangle when she had to redirect an Egg Fleet vessel's cannon. Using some prisms to redirect her Variable Wispon's laser when some Spinas attacked, Whisper was able to take all the Spinas out. When the Resistance later took out the last wing unit that had been attached to Angel Island's shoreline, Whisper used her Variable Wispon's Hover Mode to regroup with the others on an Egg Fleet battleship that Tails had secured.[11]
In the meantime, Neo Metal Sonic harnessed Sonic and Shadow's bio-data in addition to the power of the Master Emerald to transform into Master Overlord. As he captured Sonic, Knuckles and Shadow and moved closer to the Egg Fleet battleship, Amy ordered Whisper and the team to move in for a full-on assault. When Sonic then distracted Master Overlord by mocking him, Whisper shot Master Overlord in the face with her Variable Wispon. On Master Overlord's body, Whisper worked with Rouge to damage Master Overlord's wings. Master Overlord soon had enough though, and shook the Resistance members off of him, only for Silver to save everyone with his psychokinesis. Soon after, Knuckles managed to remove the Master Emerald from Master Overlord, and restored the Master Emerald to its rightful place. Silver then brought everyone down on Angel Island. Without the Master Emerald, Metal Sonic was out of commission. On the ground while Whisper played with her Wisps, Silver and Blaze thanked her for her aid.[12]
As everyone got ready to leave the island, Whisper found friendship with Tangle. When Sonic came by to talk to them, Sonic asked Whisper if she was able to make any friends. Tangle tried to confirm this by urging Whisper to tell the joke about a toaster she told her earlier. Whisper instead shyly put her mask scope back on, leaving Tangle to wonder if this was due to something she said. As Sonic took off, he apologized to Whisper.[13]
Bonds of Friendship[]
Whisper befriending Tangle and Jewel, from Sonic the Hedgehog Annual 2019.
Whisper later came to Spiral Hill Village to visit Tangle, which pleased the lemur very much. Tangle thus gave Whisper a tour of the town, including places like the salon and the bakery, where Whisper bought and ate a croissant. Tangle then brought Whisper to the Mineral Museum to meet her best friend, Jewel the Beetle. There, Tangle introduced Whisper and Jewel to each other, telling Whisper that she and Jewel grew up together. Jewel then explained to Whisper that Tangle collected many items during her adventures which Jewel used to curate her museum. Soon though, the sky started to go dark outside. Whisper immediately after pulled out her Variable Wispon as she had heard a scream come from outside. A moment afterward, the Babylon Rogues broke into the museum and began stealing everything. After Storm accidentally kidnapped Jewel however, Whisper and Tangle began pursuing the Babylon Rogues after they retreated to their blimp. Through collaborative efforts, Tangle and Whisper managed to get onboard the Babylon Rogues' blimp. There, they confronted the Babylon Rogues and demanded Jewel to be handed over. As Jet and Wave argued over how to deal with their hostage situation though, Tangle secretly took their stolen loot back. When Storm then ended up throwing Jewel out of the blimp, Whisper jumped out of the blimp so as to not lose another friend. Tangle soon jumped out after to join them. On the way down, Whisper hung onto an injured Jewel while Tangle hanged onto her. Whisper then used her Variable Wispon's Hover Mode to gently lower them down. Afterward, Whisper helped her friends restore the Mineral Museum and its exhibits. There, she fist bumped with Tangle after the latter thanked her for her aid.[14]
Tangle & Whisper[]
Whisper struggling with Tangle, from Sonic the Hedgehog: Tangle & Whisper #1.
Whisper soon found out that Sonic was apparently causing trouble in various places and was thus being targeted. When she found Sonic, he revealed himself to actually be Mimic. The shapeshifter was targeting Whisper at the restored Eggman's orders, in order to finish the job, he had started with his murder of the other Diamond Cutters. Whisper overpowered Mimic and tracked him to Spiral Hill Village where she suspected he was targeting Tangle. Whisper failed to shoot Mimic on the ground so she took to the rooftops with her Variable Wispon's Hover Mode while ignoring Tangle, who wanted an explanation. There, she activated her Variable Wispon's Spikes Mode. However, she was unable to shoot Mimic as he talked to a villager in his Sonic form so that she could stand in the way of Whisper's shot. Whisper angrily moved to another rooftop and took aim at the shapeshifter, only for him to shoot her a sinister look. Whisper was almost immediately after tackled by Tangle. She kicked her off but the lemur reluctantly persisted in fighting her. Tangle managed to snatch Whisper's mask scope off of her and believed she had stopped Dr. Eggman's "mind control". The annoyed Whisper told Tangle that she was not being mind controlled and that the person she was shooting at was not Sonic. Taking her mask scope back and pressing a few buttons on it, Whisper put her mask scope on Tangle to show an earlier discussion between her and the fake Sonic. Not wanting to reveal anything about him in public, Tangle agreed to talk with Whisper about it and lead her back to the Mineral Museum. There, Whisper explained to Tangle and Jewel that Mimic was a mercenary shapeshifter who had recently taken on the form of Sonic to wreak havoc and was potentially targeting Tangle, as well as others. Jewel noted this was a perfect opportunity to join Whisper in her hunt for Mimic so that Tangle could have an adventure. Whisper initially refused Tangle's help, but she was soon convinced by her Wisps, especially the Blue Wisp, to allow Tangle to join her. Not too long after, the trio heard a "thunk" at the door and discovered a note that told Whisper to meet Mimic so that they could end things once and for all.[8]

Whisper and Tangle soon arrived at an abandoned Eggman Empire bunker. Whisper tried to scan the inside with her mask scope but to no avail. She was interrupted by Tangle pretending to sneak around loudly and shushed her. She told Tangle that there was no activity on the outside and she could not scan the inside, meaning that they were walking blindly into Mimic's trap. Tangle believed that they could handle him since they outnumbered him but realized that Mimic still had the home advantage. After Whisper confirmed that she wanted to fight Mimic sooner than later, Tangle told her that they would be careful and asked her to stop worrying as much. Tangle then asked if Whisper had a history with Mimic, to which she confirms and then told her to be alert as Mimic is dangerous and manipulative. The duo went through the back entrance of the bunker and began to sneak around. Tangle decided to quicken their pace by searching for Mimic at a higher point, which slightly annoyed Whisper. As she progressed, she heard what appeared to be Jewel's voice. Whisper continued to sneak around until she met up with Tangle again. When she asked for proof that she was the real Tangle, the latter showed her a cut on her shirt and claimed that Mimic had shapeshifted into Jewel to draw her out and tried to swipe at her. Tangle then hurriedly had Whisper follow her around a corner to where Mimic had run off to. Whisper followed but was nearly hit by an Egg Hammer wielding a wrecking ball. Tangle, who was actually Mimic, told Whisper that he could both replicate clothing and make it look damaged. Whisper struggled to fight the Egg Hammer but soon held her own once she put her mask scope back on. She managed to destroy the Egg Hammer using her Variable Wispon's Rocket Mode and quickly turned her attention to Mimic. The shapeshifter threw a bomb at her, which she dodged, and tried to shoot at her with his laser gun. Whisper managed to shoot the gun out of Mimic's hand and stood over him, demanding to know where Tangle was. Mimic instead taunted Whisper by shapeshifting into the other members of the Diamond Cutters, claiming that she was not there to protect them. Whisper was slightly caught off guard but persisted and hit Mimic, reminding him that he sold them out in the first place. Mimic then revealed to her that Tangle was locked in a safe with little air left. He also revealed that there were bombs set to detonate in the bunker quite soon.[15]
Met with an ultimatum, Whisper set off to find the safe. Once she found it, she used the Spikes Mode on her Variable Wispon to open it. Tangle tumbled out and Whisper quickly let her know that the bunker was about to explode. As the bombs started to set off, Tangle pushed Whisper into the safe and closed the door behind the two of them. The facility was completely destroyed but the safe remained unscathed. After the girls exited the safe, Whisper told Tangle to go home. As Tangle protested against this decision, Whisper snapped and exclaimed that she would not and could not lose another friend. She went to solemnly sit down on the safe, with Tangle following and asking her to tell her about her past. Whisper wiped her face and agreed to tell her everything.[15]
Whisper explained that the Diamond Cutters were an anti-Eggman group and there were five of them: herself, Mimic, Slinger the Ocelot, Claire Voyance, and Smithy the Lion. She showed Tangle a picture of them together, with the latter expressing how cool they looked. Whisper explained that the video for their masks were networked to let them review missions and study each other's perspectives. The wolf decided to let Tangle see them in action by letting her use her mask to view a past mission of them taking down an Eggman base. Tangle enjoyed the spectacle but was soon interrupted when she discovered that Whisper's mask let her talk and understand the Wisps. Whisper explained that Smithy was a genius and designed the team's gear and made the masks give the Diamond Cutters the ability to communicate with each other. Whisper went on to say that the Variable Wispon was actually a prototype built by Smithy that everyone on the team was meant to have so that they could all use the powers of the Wisps. Whisper then solemnly stopped, which prompted Tangle to ask her to tell her what happened as it was clearly eating her up inside. Whisper initially refused, which made Tangle ask to see the footage on her mask; she told Whisper that she understood if she was not able to confront her past right now, but the more she knew about it, the more she would be able to help her. With encouragement from her Wisps, Whisper entered in the details and handed Tangle her mask to see the Diamond Cutters' final mission.[7]

After watching the details of Whisper's tragic past, Tangle, horrified of what she had seen, took off Whisper's mask and softly handed it back to her. Whisper explained that when the coast was clear, she went back into the Eggman base to rescue the rest of the team's Wisps and then went to team's base to take Smithy's prototype Variable Wispon. Tangle was at a loss for words and became frustrated. After taking a deep breath, she asked why Whisper would hold onto that footage, to which the wolf replied "Never forget. Never forgive." Tangle then realized that this was why she continued to fight as the "Guardian Angel of the Battlefield" and later joined the others to fight Neo Metal Sonic. She also realized that it must have been difficult for her to see Shadow on the mission as well. Tangle lastly asked why Whisper chose to leave her behind knowing how Mimic could toy with and asked why she did not ask someone like Sonic to help her even if she did not want the lemur's company. Whisper told her that she was the first real friend she allowed herself to have since the incident and could not stand the thought of losing anyone again. Tangle teared up and declared that Whisper was her friend as well and friends looked out for each other no matter what. When Whisper reminded her that Mimic nearly destroyed them both, Tangle stated that he would get double the payback and make him regret all of his actions. As Tangle helped Whisper up, she told her that she knew his tactics now and he would not catch her off guard again. When Whisper noted that Tangle could not be discouraged, Tangle replied saying that Whisper needed positive energy and her friends needed avenging. With this, Whisper hugged the lemur and thanked her. The wolf then noted that the trail was cold and it would take a while to find Mimic again. Tangle disagreed, believing Eggman would want solid proof about their deaths; thus, Mimic would come back and they could give him a taste of his own medicine. Whisper then left a message for Mimic, saying that they will finish the fight where they started.[7]
Whisper and Tangle traveled to the former Diamond Cutters base on the Clove Sea. They plotted to have Mimic view playbacks of the Diamond Cutters of how much he meant to them. Later, the girls found a squadron of Badniks coming their way. Whisper shot a large battleship Buzz Bomber in the sky, which forced it to crash down onto the second Buzz Bomber battleship. As Whisper explained to Tangle that the Badniks were only decoys, the latter realized that it was now her cue to confront Mimic. Tangle did offer to help fight the Badniks and try to protect the base but Whisper declined, reassuring her that it was fine. After Tangle left, Whisper destroyed the docks with the Variable Wispon's Rocket Mode to send a horde of Badniks into the sea. Following a short hug with her Orange Wisp, Whisper turned to face the remaining Buzz Bombers. After she managed to defeat all of the Badniks, Whisper went inside the base and hit Mimic's dagger out of his hands with the Variable Wispon's Cube Mode before he could kill Tangle. Mimic tried convincing its former Blue Wisp partner that it hated using violence and asked if it would let itself be used by Whisper on him. Whisper pauses for a moment then attempts to swing at Mimic, only for the Blue Wisp to leave the Wispon at the last minute and turn away in shame. This did not stop Whisper and she continued to struggle with Mimic. Mimic managed to push Whisper back and attempt to use the Variable Wispon on her but he was stopped by Tangle coiling him up in her tail.[16]
Whisper aiming her Variable Wispon at Mimic's head, from Sonic the Hedgehog: Tangle & Whisper #4.
Whisper then pointed her Variable Wispon at Mimic's head, ready to shoot him, but she was stopped by Tangle; the lemur told her that shooting Mimic would be an event that would remain with her for the rest of her life and suggested that it would be worse for Mimic to live on with regret. Whisper gently turned to the wall where the other Diamond Cutters' masks were and looked on at them with sadness. She then said that Tangle was correct and the Diamond Cutters were done. The wolf hugged the Blue Wisp and told it that she did not blame it. When Whisper asked what they would do with Mimic, Tangle suggested taking him to Tails. At the fox's workshop, Tails created a Test Chamber to imprison Mimic in and stated that he would not be able to escape. When Mimic declared that he would break free soon, Whisper warned him not to as they would "bury" him deeper each time. Mimic tried taunting Whisper some more, saying, "If only the others could hear their bubbly little Whisper now." Tangle added to the conversation, saying that even if he did escape, he would have to deal with Eggman's wrath after wasting several of his Badniks. Tails assured Whisper that he would have the cell transported to the nearest prison as soon as he could, which comforted the wolf and told him not to open it, no matter who was inside. Whisper and Tangle thus said their goodbyes to Tails. Outside, Whisper told Tangle that she was going to keep fighting until Eggman was gone and asked her if she wanted to join. Tangle accepted the offer but wished to first of all take time off back at home. With their newfound bond, Whisper and Tangle fist bumped and said their farewells. As Whisper walked off, she played with her Blue Wisp.[16]
The Last Minute[]
Sometime after the encounter with Mimic, Whisper accompanied Tails and Tangle on a mission to Central City so that he could research a cure for the Metal Virus. While at his lab, Whisper watched in shock as Dr. Eggman's Faceship arrived in the city to distribute a large batch of the virus into the city. Whisper and Tangle took it upon themselves to begin evacuation of the city while Tails stayed behind at the lab to research a cure. About an hour later, Whisper and Tangle had managed to guide a number of survivors down to Central City Bay while they fended off several Zombots in the city. At some point, Whisper came to aid Tangle, who was trapped on a lamp post with several Zombots below her, and knocked them back with her Variable Wispon. As Whisper kept up the pressure by using her Variable Wispon's Rocket mode, Tangle tried to call for backup, but received no response from Restoration HQ, and Silver, busy dealing with a Zombot outbreak in Ice Paradise, could not reach them in time. Whisper and Tangle pressed onwards regardless but were forcibly sidetracked by a horde of Zombots. After the girls moved to a rooftop, Whisper suggested that Tangle call Tails, which the lemur proceeded to do. They were soon given an update by him that he had nearly completed a cure for the Metal Virus and would be able to provide back-up soon. After a while, Whisper and Tangle decided to go back to the docks, with Tangle once again trying to call Tails. The fox cub managed to clear a path for the duo with the Cyclone and told them that he would provide cover while they tended to the survivors. Soon after, at the docks, a Rescue Shuttle came in for a landing. Whisper and Tangle guided the survivors aboard while they also watched out for Zombots. Once everyone had safely boarded, Tails rejoined them, but the trio received the bad news from Amy that Restoration HQ had fallen.[17] Whisper then found out that Tails had indeed lost the data he gathered for a cure for the virus and witnessed Tangle receive an alarming call from Jewel.[18]
Whisper reacts to the news about Tangle, who got infected by the Metal Virus from Sonic the Hedgehog #24.
Apparently, Eggman had attacked Spiral Hill Village with the Metal Virus; this prompted the Restoration to fly over there and help with evacuation. Whisper, Tangle and Espio were tasked with distracting the Zombots in town while Tails and Cream helped evacuate the uninfected villagers there. Soon, when Sonic arrived in Spiral Hill Village after an encounter with Dr. Eggman and Dr. Starline in Barricade Town, Whisper helped him barricade a group of Zombots inside a building by using her Variable Wispon's Spike Mode to cut down a lamppost and have it fall down onto the building's doors; following this, Sonic gave a thumbs up to her and she returned it. Soon, Whisper was found by Tails and was told that Amy had called for a retreat. Sonic shortly arrived but he brought the unfortunate news that Tangle had gotten infected by the Metal Virus and chose to stay behind to give the Restoration time to leave. This sent Whisper into hysterics, causing her to yell out Tangle's name and attempt to run back into the village to save her. Amy held the wolf back, and since Sonic could not aid them due to being partly infected, the Wisps emerged and dragged her back onto the Rescue Shuttle. As the shuttle took off, Whisper cried into Cream's lap and her Wisps tried to comfort her.[19]
All or Nothing[]
The Rescue Shuttle eventually went to Angel Island. While there, Dr. Eggman, Dr. Starline and Metal Sonic had abruptly arrived via a portal after a run-in with the Deadly Six. While the others discussed current events, Whisper decided to take aim at Eggman from outside the shuttle. She was soon stopped by Cream, who was carrying Omega's head, as she stood in the way in the shot. Cream told Whisper that though she shared her hate for Eggman, she felt like she would give anything to get them back and asked Whisper if they were worth it. In response to this, Whisper took off her mask and cried; Cream held her and promised that she and Omega would stay by her side so that she would not be alone. Later, Whisper watched Eggman and Tails build a Multi-Portal Generator using the Warp Topaz so that they could go and fight the Deadly Six and take the Chaos Emeralds from them. Sonic returned from his run and had come up with a plan for who should be assigned with who and what Zeti they should go after. He explained to Whisper that she will head off with Silver to take on Zor, explaining that they should handle him at a distance due to him being described as "weird". Once Eggman and Tails managed to get the coordinates set in, Whisper and Silver went off into the Warp Portal that would lead them to Zor. The two arrived in Orchardville and watched Zor act gloomy on his owl mech. Silver explained that he would grab him with his powers while Whisper covered him from a distance, which she accepted.[20][21]
Whisper prepares to shoot at Zor, from Sonic the Hedgehog #28.
While Silver engaged Zor, Whisper stayed hidden in a tree and handed out a few prisms to her Wisps, aside from her cyan one. The Wisps then moved into position around the battlefield. Soon, when Silver gave the signal, Whisper used her Wispon in Laser Mode to shoot at the prisms that the Wisps were holding for her shot to bounce off of them and hit Zor. This successfully knocked the Chaos Emerald out of his chest and into Silver's possession. After the hedgehog destroyed Zor's owl mech, he used his psychokinesis to carry himself, Whisper, the Wisps and the Chaos Emerald back to Angel Island. When they arrived, along with most of the other survivors, they found that Zavok had found their location, drawing nearer to the island in the Faceship. He had also led a large horde of Zombots to the location as well. However, thanks to the efforts of Rouge, the Faceship was brought down and fell into the ocean, crashing down onto the horde of Zombots. This did not stop Zavok as he simply emerged from the rubble and became Giant Zavok with his Chaos Emerald. As retaliation, he shot a fireball at the island with his mouth. He then grabbed a large handful of Zombots and threw them onto the surface to deal with the survivors, which included a number of familiar faces to Whisper.[22]
While helping to defend the island, Whisper found herself face-to-face with a Zombot Tangle, and struggled with fighting against her friend. Eventually, with the combined efforts of Super Sonic and Super Silver, they were able to warp the entirety of the Metal Virus away from the world and to the sun. This gradually turned all of the Zombots, including Tangle back to normal; after witnessing this, Whisper and her Wisps leaped on Tangle to give her a big hug, with the lemur asking if she missed her.[23]
Out of the Blue[]
Whisper is pulled into a group hug by Tangle, from Sonic the Hedgehog #32.
When Zavok tried attacking the civilians down below, Whisper went down from Angel Island to the surface and attacked the Zeti with the Variable Wispon in Cube Mode. Eventually, Zavok was restrained by Silver's psychokinesis. Later on, Whisper saw Metal Sonic impale Gemerl with his hand and shot at him with the Variable Wispon. However, Metal Sonic blocked the attacks with his Black Shield, dropped Gemerl's body and flew away with Orbot and Cubot.[24] Some time later, Whisper was invited by Tangle to her party in Spiral Hill Village. While there, she firmly monitored the Babylon Rogues since they had attacked the town before. Tangle told Whisper to leave them be since they helped save the world and she did not want to have another fight in her hometown so soon. When Whisper accepted this, Tangle said that they should get the Wisps some food to eat but also asked if they even ate. They were soon interrupted as the party was crashed by Eggman arriving in a large mech with the intent of destroying everyone.[25] Whisper proceeded to take part in the attack on Eggman's mech. Eventually though, Eggman was defeated when Sonic returned. After Eggman had departed, Whisper was embraced by a group hug arranged by Tangle.[26]
Zeti Hunt![]
Whisper would later join Tangle and Jewel in Restoration HQ. When the Deadly Six eventually attacked the HQ, Whisper and her friends barricaded themselves in the control room.[27] Using a hole in the control room's door, Whisper helped Sonic fight the Deadly Six by shooting them with her Variable Wispon. At the same time, Tangle provided her with a stable shooting position. Ultimately, however, Zavok used his powers to sabotage Whisper's mask scope, preventing her from interfering with the fight any further. Though the Deadly Six were eventually defeated by Sonic and Tails, Whisper and her friends soon revealed that Dr. Starline had kidnapped Belle in the meantime.[28]
Trial by Fire[]
Having learned that Mimic was free, Whisper decided to leave Restoration HQ so that her presence would not pose a danger to the others, since Mimic would surely use them to get to her. As she and her Wisps were leaving however, they were discovered by Tangle. Learning of Whisper's decision, Tangle tried to make her stay, but Whisper stood by her choice and left.[29]
Another Grand Adventure for Jet the Hawk[]
Whisper was on a mission to take out a Super Badnik and sent her Cyan Wisp to find food. It returned with a calzone and Whisper ate it as she aimed the Variable Wispon at the Badnik. Jet the Hawk then flies in on his Type-J and yells at them, catching Whisper off guard. Jet says the "squid" stole from the calzone and she will make it up to him. Whisper stands up and and confusingly asks if she will. Jet says again she will and says they wasted his time and says she owes him gems/jewelry and a calzone. The Cyan Wisp gives Jet a banana instead, which Jet doesn't want.
Whisper tells Jet to be quiet while the Badnik is around, but Jet slams the banana on the ground and yells he can't hear her. The Super Badnik then grabs Jet and he yells to let him down. Jet then tells Whisper to use the Type-J to get him. Whisper tries to get on, but it flies up and she holds onto it for dear life. Jet yells at her to just stand on it and it will balance itself. He goes onto ramble about how he doesn't think the Extreme Gear is hard to use and keeps boasting about himself. Whisper tells him to stop talking as she balances and the Cyan Wisp gives her the Variable Wispon. Jet says some knowledge his dad told him, but Whisper yells back at him to be quiet and shoots the leg of the Super Badnik, causing it to fall into a trap with Jet still in its hand. Jet is impressed by Whisper's skills and proposes to work together. Whisper walks away, leaving the Type-J behind, and says she's busy. Jet can't hear her and asks her to speak up. The Cyan Wisp then returns what is left of the calzone to Jet.[30]
Overpowered[]
Whisper fighting Surge (who is using the Dynamo Cage), from Sonic the Hedgehog #53.
Whisper was in Central City when Surge started a rampage in it. She responded to the attack and was quick to take her head-on. Whisper not impressed by Surge's abilities early on and used all the Wisps in her arsenal to attack her. Whisper was shocked to see Surge being able to absorb the Wisp's hyper-go-on power. Surge was able to get close to Whisper and got in a struggle. Her Pink Wisp went out of the Variable Wispon and Surge grabbed it. Whisper yelled out for her not to use her Wisp as Surge stomped on her. Surge did absorb the Wisp and Whisper made a tactical retreat. Surge quickly went back on her tail and, with tears in her eyes, she asked her Blue Wisp to help her. Whisper hit Surge as hard as she could with the hammer mode of her Variable Wispon, but it had no effect on Surge; only making her disappointed in the hit. Surge then grabbed the Wispon as Whisper asked her to give her Pink Wisp back. Surge declined and slammed Whisper on the pavement, breaking the Variable Wispon.[31]
Surge was able to take all the other Wisps Whisper had except her Cyan Wisp one. As Surge talked about which Wisp she is going to use to end her, Whisper grabbed a sharp shard of the Variable Wispon. Whisper then attacked Surge hand-to-hand using the shard. Surge then used the Blue Wisp to drop a cube on Whisper. Sonic and Tails then arrived on the scene and Tails took Whisper into an alley as Sonic fought Surge. Tails told her to stay low and they will take her to the lab after the fight. Whisper took her mask off, revealing the anger on her face and the tears in her eyes. She angrily told Tails she needed her Wisps back.[31] Tails had to leave Whisper to help Sonic, but they were both being outmatched by Surge. Whisper made it back onto the street and whistled to get their attention. She then threw out some prisms and sent her Cyan Wisp to Sonic, making him transform into Cyan Laser. After Sonic put of a fight, Surge was able to take the Cyan Wisp from him. This caused Whisper to cry out and move to fight Surge, but Tails held her back and said they can't stop her unless they drain her power. Whisper fell to her knees and said she wasn't giving up.[32]
Later, Whisper went to Tails' Lab after the fight with Surge was over. She sat in a corner with her broken Variable Wispon, curled in on herself, sad, and afraid. Belle went up to her and introduced herself. She then offered to repair the Wispon, which Whisper accepted without saying anything.[32]
Shattered Diamonds[]
Tangle, Lanolin, and Whisper sat in the woods around a bonfire awaiting Sonic's arrival, completely unaware that Mimic was stalking Whisper. Tangle expressed her impatience, Lanolin's annoyance, and Whisper told her that there was nothing wrong with a moment of calm. Soon, Mimic threw a small rock, catching the girls' attention, and he moved to stab Whisper in the back. At that moment, Sonic and Tails arrive, causing Mimic to recoil in the bushes and unknowingly saving Whisper's life. Sonic apologized for the wait and explained that they had a few Badniks to pummel. Tangle responded, wanting to have helped, so Tails reassured her that there would be plenty of Badniks in the Eggperial City. He asked if the girls needed to get ready, but Whisper spoke up, saying that they were good, and she walked on with the heroes while Mimic watched her leave in anger.[6]
Urban Warfare[]
Whisper angry upon Tangle suggesting "Diamond Cutters" as the team's name, from Sonic the Hedgehog #57.
While recovering from her fight with Surge, Sonic returned Whisper's Wisps and her Variable Wispon was repaired.[33] Shortly after, she joined a new team that Lanolin was assembling, along with Tangle. Later, Whisper was in a meeting with the team and Jewel to ask Sonic to join them on a mission to investigate Eggperial City. During the meeting, Tangle told her she was happy to be with her again and Sonic asked if she was recovered from her last fight, which Whisper said yes. When Sonic agreed to join them, he asked for a team name. Tangle suggested Diamond Cutters, which Lanolin liked. but had Whisper visibly seething at the name being chosen.
The group left Restoration HQ and made it to Dr. Eggman's city, with Whisper scouting with Lanolin. When they noticed there were no major defenses, traps, or patrols, Sonic and Tangle went ahead and ran into the city. Lanolin complained about their reckless behavior, but Whisper said that's just how they are. Lanolin stated they couldn't beat the odds forever, and Whisper thought to herself that she knew that better than anyone. The two joined Sonic and Tangle in fighting Badniks, with Whisper destroying a Red Eye with her Cyan Wisp mode. After chewing out Sonic and Tangle for their actions, Lanolin asks how Whisper handles Tangle; Whisper replied she doesn't. Concerned, Tangle asked if there was something they needed to talk about, but Whisper tells her no, leaving the whole group feeling uneasy.
Lanolin went on to survey the city and Whisper let her use her Green Wisp to take some readings. Sonic transformed into Green Hover to get a better view. Tangle begged Whisper to let her try that, but she politely said "maybe later" and took the Green Wisp back to rest. The group concluded the city was repairing and growing by itself and they went down into the tunnels bellow the city to investigate. Once they got down to the lowest point, Whisper blew a hole in the ground with her Variable Wispon and Lanolin and Tangle looked inside. They discovered Eggman was strip-mining everything to build the city. Sonic and Lanolin argued over what they should do next. Whisper said they can fall back and she can stay in scout. This causes Tangle to snap at her, saying she won't because she had a close call recently and she needs to stop going solo. Whisper was shocked by her reaction, but they had no time to dwell on it. A portal suddenly appeared next to them and they ran off as it chased them.
Tangle grabbed Whisper with her tail and Sonic pulled them along as Whisper got some shots on some Badniks. A Zoomer broke Sonic and Tangle's grip, causing Tangle, Whisper, and Lanolin to fall into the portal.[34] The trio was then taken into a parallel world where they could see and hear others, but could not interact or be seen by anyone. Tangle was trying to cheer up a distraught Lanolin and she asked Whisper for help. She then coldly asked Tangle why she chose the name the team after the friends she lost. Lanolin said she thought Whisper's old team disbanded after the war. Whisper clarified they were betrayed and destroyed. Tangle was stumbling her words and Whisper asked her to just spit it out. Tangle apologized to Whisper for naming the team Diamond Cutters, saying her old team were close friends and were cool and competent. She wanted their relationship to be like that so they wouldn't drift apart again.
Whisper realizes how she has been treating her friends, from Sonic the Hedgehog #58.
Whisper then remembered leaving the Restoration and Tangle behind, losing her Wisps and Wispon, and Belle and Sonic helping her recover them. Tangle cried and said she was caught in the moment and Lanolin said they can change the team's name. Whisper admitted her team was there for her then and now only their Wisps are what's left of them. Whisper said she has been walking away from the people trying to help her. She realizes the only person not trying to help her is herself. Lanolin said she understood if Whisper can't trust people after being betrayed. Whisper clarified only one person took her life away from her, not the Restoration or anyone else. Whisper promised she isn't going to let his fear rule her life anymore. Whisper apologized for being a bad friend and teammate and asked for patience for her to move on. Lanolin coyly asked for her to be patient with her being bossy and inexperienced. Tangle mumbled something with her Tails wrapped around her and Whisper pulled them down. Tangle was about to restate it, but Whisper said she knows what she said and told her "[She] will".
The group joined hands and Whisper told them they can remain the Diamond Cutters, as her old team would be honored for them to continue their cause. Tangle then gave them a group hug, and Lanolin says there has to be a hard count on the number of group hugs, which Whisper agreed. Breaking the hug, Lanolin asked how Whisper's old team would handle their situation. Whisper said there was no chain of command and they relied on each other. She then said they would ask Claire for insight and if she saw nothing, they would scout the area. Tangle guesses Whisper is going to scout for them, then Lanolin comes up with a plan to gather intel for Sonic while he worked to get them back to reality. Whispers said they should go to the central control tower since it has the most critical resources and the Diamond Cutters move out.[33]
The Diamond Cutters made it into the command room of the tower where they saw Eggman with Orbot and Cubot overseeing the attack on the other heroes who arrived. The moved to see the monitors and Lanolin told them to find some useful information. They then saw on a monitor Shadow Androids attacking Sonic and the others. Tangle remarked that the Androids are what killed the first Diamond Cutters. Whisper looked on in sheer horror and sunk to the ground; the trauma of her friends' deaths coming back. Tangle comforted Whisper and the wolf said that it was too late for them. Before Whisper could finish the thought, Tangle said it won't happen again because she won't let it and promised they're going to figure this out. She gave Whisper a hug and Lanolin came over to comfort Whisper as well.
The team saw Eggman restart the city's power because of a power surge caused by Shadow. Whisper speculated it was a Chaos Overload. As Eggman expressed his anger that he can't see where the Restoration members on, Lanolin tells Tangle that surge nearly disabled the entire city. As they start to devise an idea, they suddenly start to become visual to the real world again. Lanolin tells them not to panic, and they freeze when Eggman sees them. Eggman says he has seen them before and they ran into his Spatial Displacement Trap. Eggman says they almost escaped when the power dipped, but reveals his new models that can shatter their atoms into oblivion. Whisper shoots Eggman with her Wispon, aiming for his heart, but it goes right through him. Eggman says her Wispon has been separated from normal space, and she can't hurt him. The hexagonal trap surrounds Whisper and Tangle runs to save her, but the trap closes in on Whisper and traps her as she yells.[35]
Thanks to Tails disabling the computer system, Whisper was able to escape her trap. While Lanolin was distracting Dr. Eggman in the control room, Whisper knocked him away with the Blue Hammer mode of her Wispon, freeing Tangle from his grip. Tangle started to cry, overwhelmed with the emotion of her teammates coming back, and Whisper comforted her. She was able to escape the tower with the Diamond Cutters—floating away with the Green Hover mode of her Wispon. Whisper and the others made it over to the Giant Fake Chaos Emerald tower Shadow made. Tangle got a hold of Sonic and Whisper launched themselves into the air by using the Orange Rocket mode of her Wispon. Tangle then flung Sonic into the tower, destroying it. The group narrowly escaped certain death thanks to Shadow teleporting the Fake Emeralds into the sky before they exploded. Later, Tangle and Whisper joined the other heroes on a picnic.[36]
Misadventures[]
"Duo" joins the Diamond Cutters, from Sonic the Hedgehog #62.
Whisper was drinking coffee during a meeting with the Diamond Cutters at Restoration HQ. Lanolin was reviewing their mission and asked Whisper how she organized her old team. Whisper told her they all started as volunteers and wasn't a formal arrangement until later. A moment later, Duo the Cat walked in on their meeting and gave a pitch for him to join the team, which Whisper was impressed by. After Lanolin and Tangle asked some questions to him, Lanolin asked Whisper if he should join the team. Whisper said it was better for him to learn during peacetime, and they had to start from somewhere. They welcomed Duo to the team, and he followed Tangle to find a dorm.[37]
Whisper went with Tangle to see Belle and pick up her Variable Wispon. Belle commented on how she wanted to tinker with it more, which made Whisper nervous. As they left, Whisper bumped into Silver and he apologized, saying he was zoned out. Tangle asked what was on his mind and said they wouldn't judge him. Silver explained how he felt he needed purpose, and Whisper offered him to train with the Diamond Cutters. Tangle agreed and they all went to Green Hill to train with Lanolin and Duo. Lanolin told them their mission was to work on coordinating moves and communication. Whisper went to the bottom of the Canyon with Tangle and Lanolin, while Silver raised some rocks. Silver was bringing the rocks to them but Duo kicked him, and he lost hold of them, which Whisper saw. Suddenly, a Giant Chopper broke out of the canyon wall and started to flood the valley. Lanolin asked Whisper to fly them out, but she said it would be too slow. Tangle used her tail as a grapple, and they swung out of there. Lanolin told them to split up and she flew with Whisper using the Hover Mode of the Wispon. Lanolin destroyed rocks with her own Wispon and they reached higher ground. They went down and found Duo next to the Chopper, but Silver was still in it and he got out, accusing Duo of ditching him. Lanolin defended Duo and criticized Silver for not keeping control. Later, Whisper met with Silver in the Emeraldville Ruins. She told him she saw Duo kicked him. Silver told her he also saw Duo change the color of his eyes. Realizing Duo was Mimic, Whisper put her mask on and said they were going hunting.[38]
Whisper and Lanolin fighting, from Sonic the Hedgehog #64.
Whisper and Silver spied on Duo throughout the next day but didn't catch him breaking his disguise. Silver pointed out he saw his black eyes when he was in danger and suggested spooking him. Whisper told him no, but Silver picked him up over a railing, saying he'd catch him. Lanolin caught Duo before he fell over and called for them to come out from hiding. Lanolin said she saw them watching Duo and asked Silver what he was trying to do. Whisper and Silver said they were spying on Duo because he was Mimic in disguise. Lanolin demanded proof, but Whisper said they would have proof later, and she already saw some tells he was. Lanolin defended Duo, saying Whisper was harassing a teammate. Whisper tried to push her aside, not wanting to wait, but Lanolin pushed her to the ground and was disappointed Whisper couldn't control herself. Whisper kept fighting her, not wanting Mimic to hurt her again. During their tussle, Silver seemingly hurt Duo, shocking the crowd including. Jewel and Tangle came to the scene and Whisper told Tangle she was sure he was Mimic. Shaking and visibly in pain, Whisper said Mimic wouldn't react like that this wasn't supposed to happen. Tangle hugged Whisper and said she was here for her. Lanolin proposed for Silver to be kicked out of the Diamond Cutters, and Whisper agreed, not wanting to misguide him again. After Tangle saw how Lanolin and Whisper felt, she voted Silver out too.[39]
Whisper was present when the Diamond Cutters were introduced to Surge and Kit by Sonic and Amy. Unlike her teammates, Whisper outright refused to entertain the notion of the imposters joining the Diamond Cutters. She told Sonic he can trust them, but she cannot and would not trust them. Surge was amused by Whisper's stance and swiped the Variable Wispon from Belle, handing it to Whisper. Surge told her she was the first person with any sense in the Restoration and knew she wanted to take her out right then, which Surge respected. Whisper took her Wispon and Surge told her she might join the group just so the wolf can point her Wispon at her. Whisper reluctantly let Surge have the offer, but she would be watching her.[40]
Endless Summer[]
Sonic, Tangle, Whisper (and her Wisps), and Jewel arrived at a beach near Green Hill, where Tangle and Whisper set up their umbrella and mat and start playing in the water. After some convincing by Sonic, Jewel joined Tangle and Whisper in the water. During a game of volleyball, Jewel had to retrieve their ball after Tangle bounced it too high, but spots the Babylon Rogues on the other side of the beach. After getting spotted by them, Sonic and his friends got into a dispute over who should stay at the beach. Tangle escalated the issue further because of the fact that the Babylon Rogues robbed, kidnapped and chucked Jewel out of their blimp. Wave then decided that a tournament should be held, promising that the winning team gets to stay.
After playing Disc Catch, Sand Sculpting and Surfing, the teams moved onto Volleyball, which was the final round of the game. During the Volleyball game, Jewel started to feel left out as Sonic, Tangle and Whisper played against the Babylon Rogues without giving her involved. During a timeout by Sonic, Jewel devised a plan for her team to win the tied match. The team took advantage of Jet's ego while they kept Storm and Wave away from the net. With the Babylon Rogues completely losing sight of Jewel's presence, she gained the upper hand and slammed the ball out of bounds on the Rogues' side, earning Sonic's team the victory. Jewel, feeling bad about sending the Babylon Rogues off like that, offered them a truce to let them stay with Sonic's team on the beach, which the Rogues reluctantly accepted. Later that day, they had a campfire where Whisper showed how she roasted a marshmallow, to Jet and Sonic's amazement.[41]
The Diamond Cutters as referees for the Clean Sweepstakes race, from Sonic the Hedgehog #69
Phantom Riders[]
Whisper and the other Diamond Cutters would enter the Clean Sweepstakes race as referees for the event, she takes an Angel • Devil as her Extreme Gear. There would be a bit of chaos on track with Team Sonic. The chaos is ended by Whisper who blasts the three boards with her Cyan Laser to help them. Tangle asks the trio if they are alright. Lanolin cuts in and coldly calls them a hazard to the race, telling them to get off the track, which leads to Tangle becoming aggrieved with her teammate's callousness towards their friends who could have been hurt, but Duo agrees with Lanolin's "harsh" behavior. Lanolin retorts that a pileup was only averted due to Whisper's good aim as the Diamond cutters drive off.[42]
In the second race, the Phantom Rider would cause trouble on the track. The Clean Sweepstakes Security were alerted, and when they showed up they surrounded him. When Lanolin used her wispon, it caused the track to break and racers to fall off, Whisper would use her Variable Wispon and rescue the racers.[43]
Tangle and Whisper decide to investigate the "Phantom Rider" dilemma together, from Sonic the Hedgehog #71.
In Misty Spire and soon Nite announces to stop the new Phantom Rider at all costs. The new Phantom Rider charges at the racers, knocking one off his board with one hand and catching a ball with the other. He is then surrounded by the Diamond Cutters, only to throw his ball at Lanolin, knocking her off her Heavy Bike, and flee with Tangle and Whisper continuing the chase. Tangle attempts to comfort Whisper over Lanolin's elimination when they are confronted by a silhouette of Surge. She taunts Whisper about the beating she gave her in Central City and the infamy she would get from doing the same to both her and Tangle this time. Enraged, Whisper chases after Surge and attacks her with her Variable Wispon, only for Kit to intercept. Tangle attempts to intervene but is grabbed and thrown into Whisper's Angel • Devil Gear by Kit's hydro-coil tails. The impact causes Whisper to bump into Jet's Type-J, and the Rogues proceed to enter the brawl. Soon it is revealed that Sonic is the Phantom Rider but before Sonic could answer a rock fell separating them. later on, Whisper was sitting in her room until Tangle came over and tells Whisper that she did not tell the others what happened as she could not give up on Sonic and was still unable to believe what she saw. Whisper gives Tangle her mask, explaining that she stopped recording footage after they fought Mimic but started again after Silver was cast out from the Diamond Cutters. Tangle puts on the mask, seeing the footage for herself and the differences between the two Phantom Riders, such as their appearances and the fact that the first Phantom Rider never attacked anyone directly. Realizing there is more to the situation than meets the eye, Tangle tells Whisper that they are going to figure this out together.[44]
Jewel informs Tangle and Whisper about the situation so far and says that they are the only people she can trust for right now until Tangle reveals to Jewel that Sonic is the Phantom Rider and Jewel agrees seeing how he has not been seen since the first race and says that they have to get in contact with Sonic to stand a chance against Clean Sweep, they end the conversation with Tangle hugging Jewel. Soon Nite starts by announcing the final event in Clean Sweepstakes and they save the best for last until Nite says that they have an announcement from Clean Sweep Inc. reading that they are handling the situation and tells the audience not to worry or panic but meanwhile before the Tangle and Whisper quietly discuses about telling Lanolin and Duo but Whisper reassures her that she will handle that. Suddenly the Phantom Rider appears, and the Diamond Cutters surround him with lanolin telling him that he is done and it's enough and Lanolin counties saying that he would not like her kick on her wispon. Sonic disagrees when suddenly the Babylon Rogues surround him when Nite announces a halt in the race, saying that everyone is going after the Phantom Rider with him dogging attacks from Lanolin, Surge and Kit who Surge manages to grab on to his Eggstreme Gear while Whisper uses her Variable Wispon to fire.[45] Later on, Whisper and the others watch as the shuttle is falling when Tangle mentions the people in the stadium and the audience, further saying they have to do something. Soon Duo is confronted and asked by Lanolin where he's been when he reveals that Tangle and Whisper knew the Phantom Rider was Sonic but did not tell them. Lanolin grows angry with them and Tangle responds saying he had a good reason too and Whisper saying that he needs justice. Soon Surge interrupts saying that Sonic left and Whisper along with Tangle chase after Lanolin who rushes towards Sonic when Tangle convinces her to save the conversation until later which Lanolin agrees.[46]
Nearby, Duo reconvenes with the rest of the Diamond Cutters, apologizing for his brief absence. Lanolin tells him to stay close, as this is no time to wander off. Just then, Clutch calls Duo via the walkie-talkie hidden in his scarf, alerting the others as he is addressed by his real name and ordered to come provide backup on the main deck. He awkwardly attempts to dismiss it as a "wrong number", but both Tangle and Whisper yell at him and give chase. With his identity exposed, Mimic returns to his original form, throwing his walkie-talkie at Whisper as he attempts to flee the scene.
Tangle and Whisper giving Lanolin a chance to save everyone in the shuttle, from Sonic the Hedgehog #75.
Meanwhile, at the Sweepstakes Amphitheater, Tangle and Whisper continue to chase down Mimic, who attempts to fend them off with a rapid-fire pistol. However, both it and Mimic's Extreme Gear are destroyed by a laser blast from Whisper's Variable Wispon. Tangle prepares to catch Mimic by using her tail as a lasso, but an explosion allows him to escape their line of sight long enough to hide within the crowd below. Whisper furiously begins asking the spectators where Mimic is, but none of them know who she is talking about. The course continues falling apart, with a mine falling dangerously close to the crowd. Lanolin then uses her Golden Bell to get everyone's attention, introducing herself as a member of the Restoration's Diamond Cutters and assuring the civilians that they will guide the ship to a safe landing. She expresses her remorse to Tangle and Whisper, acknowledging the way she has acted and the mistakes she has made. She tells them she understands if they do not trust her or do not want to continue working with her, but Tangle tells her to save it, as they are all on the same side and have people to save. Whisper agrees with the statement, admitting that she has also made her share of mistakes. Tangle adds that she is still irritated, but they will talk about it later, which Lanolin thanks her for. While the Diamond Cutters set out to save the city.[47]Mimic, now disguised as a dog, continues to hide anxiously within the crowd.
At the sight of the destroyed HQ, Jewel drops to her knees and begins sobbing. While Amy tries to comfort her, The Diamond Cutters then arrive as well, with Tangle running over to check on Jewel. Distraught by the loss of Restoration HQ, Jewel believes that she has failed and that the Restoration is over, but Tangle points her attention to all the members who are alive and well, helping Jewel as well as Lanolin realize that the people are what truly define the Restoration rather than the building. The heroes prepare to go clean up the mess and rebuild, with Don forcing Rough and Tumble to help as payment for the ride down
Scattered Pieces[]
Many days after the destruction of Restoration HQ, Silver decides to check on the Diamond Cutters, knowing they might be going through a hard time. He flies to an clean area in Emeraldville Ruins where he finds Jewel, Tangle, Whisper, Lanolin, and Belle, who is petting Motobud, sitting down with sad and worried expressions. Whisper listens to Jewel's decision to quit the Restoration and her frustation until she is comforted by Tangle. She then listens to Lanolin's apologies and her plan to turn Emeraldville into a nice place to live and Jewel offering to help her.
Whisper wanting to end Mimic, Tangle convicing her to not, from Sonic the Hedgehog #76.
When Silver sits down and asks Whisper if she has a plan as well, she replies "Find Mimic. End Mimic." But Tangle gently tells her not to do it, recalling on how they first captured Mimic, claiming they will stop Mimic when they find him. Whisper relents, if only slightly, and agrees on "stopping" Mimic, then offers Silver to join her and Tangle on finding Mimic, which he agrees to without hesitation. Tangle then asks Belle if she will stay with Jewel and Lanolin, thinking she doesn't want to look for a fight, and listen to Belle saying she is no longer scared of the world and her plan to travel it with Motobud. With everyone having their own plans and missions settled, Tangle awkwardly comments on how this is it for the Diamond Cutters, disbanding so quickly after forming, and apologizes to Whisper for the comment. But the latter responds that it is okay, as they are better on their own terms, but she prefers to say "see you later" than "goodbye." Lanolin thanks her friends for letting her be a part of this and Jewel thanks Silver for his help. Silver claims the Diamond Cutters are not done yet, he uses his psychokinesis to gather everyone together for a group hug and yells: "Diamond Cutters, together forever!"
Later on, she would arrive at Rainbow Ravine, Whisper is relaxing at an outdoor cafe. The waitress asks the wolf if she will have anything else, which she responds not yet as she is still waiting for her friend to show up.[48]
