If you were born from a broken timeline, what happens when the timeline corrects itself?
A fabled lost chapter from Mobius 25 Years Later & The Lara-Su Chronicles. Lara-Su joins Knuckles on a dangerous mission to correct time distortions threatening their world, only for it to go wrong, leaving Knuckles lost within the storm. Now Lara-Su is confronted with the reality of what it means to choose the path of a guardian. She navigates disrupted timelines, inherited guilt, and an identity shaped by events she didn't choose.
At the heart of existence, deities dwell in a Virtual Zone. Once mortals, who had passed through the Next Evolution, strive to maintain the cosmic balance. But even some forces are too strong for intervention. Enerjak, the Lord of Chaos, whose essence is scattered throughout the forces of the cosmos, seeks to rebuild the universe in his glorious vision and a new host body to help him accomplish his goal.

These events take place in a splintered timeline branching from Sonic the Hedgehog published by Archie and The Lara-Su Chronicles: Beginnings by Ken Penders. Elements such as dreams, memories, and flashbacks are derived from both these works to consolidate key events in an unstable timeline.
Additionally, adapted metaphysical and cultural concepts from the Dragonriders of Pern series by Anne McCaffrey and the Eternal Champions series by Michael Moorcock are added that compliment the established lore. All characters and concepts belong to their respective creators. This work is a nonprofit fanfiction written for enjoyment.
Note: the Knuckles family tree order in this timeline is Spectre, Sojourner, Thunderhawk, Janelle-Li, as depicted in Knuckles the Echidna Issue #29.
