[ She pauses for a moment, thinking. There was something else that came before The Worst Thing, but how much of that did she need to explain. ]
Okay, so...after Eggman was defeated during the war, he ended up someplace called Windmill Village with amnesia, and was referred to by the villagers as Mr. Tinker. We left him there, because we thought it would be safe, but while we were dealing with an issue on Angel Island with one of Eggman's robots, Metal Sonic but with an upgrade and calling himself Neo Metal Sonic, another scientists named Dr. Starline hired these two goons to kidnap Mr. Tinker so he could jog Eggman's memories.
We dealt with the issue on Angel Island and took care of Neo Metal Sonic, but Knuckles decided to remain there to resume guarding the Master Emerald, and disbanded the Resistance. But there was just...so much work still left to do...places to rebuild, allocating resources, and I just couldn't...couldn't leave things like that. So I took the leftover Resistance and created a new organization called Reformation so that we could continue rebuilding the world.
But we weren't...we weren't prepared for Eggman's return.
[ Her fingers curled into tight fists for a moment, before she released a heavy sigh. ]
Thanks to Starline, Eggman did get his memories back, and he developed a chemical with microscopic robots that would...change living matter: Plants that were affected became metal, and animals and people that came in contact with it became...robots.
[ Closing her eyes, she shudders a little. ]
Eggman started dumping cities and towns with what we started calling the Metal Virus, infecting hundreds of people at once. Anything doused with the chemical would change pretty immediately, but anyone who was touched by an infected also became infected, and their transformation was more...gradual.
When people or animals became robots, they completely lost all sense of what or who they are. They couldn't be talked to or reasoned with, and were super aggressive and prone to attack anyone still not affected. They were like...zombie, but robots. [ She folded her arms again, hugging herself as she smiled faintly, though it didn't reach her eyes. ] Sonic called them Zombots.
[ It would've been funny if the events hadn't been so stressful. ]
