Chapter 57: A Message from the Past
Shuigang Island – Unknown Location, Noon Hours
Inside the depths of the unknown facility, inside the chamber with towering computer servers, an cluster of monitors displaying the web of data.
Metal Sonic stood motionless, his optics fixed on the main screen. His blue-plated body gleamed under the monitor's light, his fingers twitching ever so slightly in anticipation as he guarded the room. The display before him tracked the progress of the Robobotnik Virus, finally nearing its completion.

His red optics narrowed as he observed the cascading lines of code. Soon, Brevon's reign would crumble—not through brute force, but through a single, silent strike from within.

The monitors let out a harsh static screech before plunging into darkness. The once-flowing streams of code halted, replaced by an empty void of black screens. Sparks burst from a severed connection, sending a brief flash of light through the room.
