It's been two months since the events of the Consortium's insurrection, the Kingdom of Acorn suffers a great social-political and military meltdown as the populace demands democracy against the monarch. The Royal Military suffers massive losses of manpower and equipment after the uprising of two homeguard battlegroups at the capital, forcing the military to withdraw most of their forces from abroad back home fearring future terrorist attacks against them at home since their home guard formations have been severely depleted. With most of their vehicles and equipments have been depleted, the Royal Military looks for alternate military contractors from abroad to supplies them with brand new state of the weaponry and vehicles for guerrilla warfare. The Consortium terrorist melt away from major terrorist attacks and commence Guerrilla Warfare with various nations in the third world and the southern neighbor of the Kingdom of Acorn, Columba, hoping to destroy the interests abroad of the Kingdom of Acorn.

News Report: "Hi i'm Sasha Cat of News 11 reporting live from the border southern border between the Kingdom of Acorn and our southern neighbor, the Republic of Columba, which has now turn into a full scale warzone where the rebel faction calls themselves Fuerzas Armadas Revolucionarias de Columba or the Revolutionary Armed Forces of Columba has just initiated a civil war with the corrupt goverment of president Macro De Santa. Although the fighting between the loyalists and rebels have just begun a week ago but violent has spread through out Columba where people are calling for president Macro De Santa to step down from power, refugees on the north of the country are fleeing through highway 24 to the safe areas of the Kingdom of Acorn. King Elias Acorn stated that he is not going to let violent spreads across the border and will do anything neccessary to keep the situation under control."

It was a scorching morning with dust being blowned over the road by the wind, the sun beating down its heat on the people below, across the wide desert, there was only a single sign of civilization, a highway, once a path of trade and connection between the Kingdom of Acorn to the outside world, namely its southern neighbor. Now a sight of mass exodus, as waves upon waves of illegal immigrants fled their country, riddance with civil war, they stop by the border checkpoint waiting for the border guards to check their papers and give the clearance to go through. But while the innocent people are trying to fled to the safety of the Kingdom, a dangerous but invisible threat was tagging along the mass exodus. A white cargo truck with green stripes on its sides was standing along the traffic jam of the refugees, carrying a cargo of explosive porpotion.

While the truck driver was waiting to drive up through the traffic, unbeknown to him, he was being watched, from a sand dune just 500 meters away from the highway, three Mobians were watching the convoy through the scopes of their sniper rifles. "Call your targets, we'll take them all out at once." Said Kozak the Mobian Husky, his teammates line up their crosshairs over the head of their targets, and as the shots are lined up Kozak gave them the go code. "3, 2, 1 mark." And three bullets flies out to their targets and killing the truck driver and his armed guards instantly, splattering blood and splintered glasses all over the driver's seat. "Go go go! Surround the truck and take the package!" Kozak immediately led his teammates storms up to the the highway where civilians were screaming and panicking, hiding in their cars or trying to seek shelters in the border guard's base. "Contact dead ahead! Contact multiple tangoes!" Kozak shouted out targets as armed gunmen protecting the truck suddenly disembarked their vehicles and fired upon the AFO, "Stay low and move cover to cover! Watch your fire around here! There are civies around us!" As Kozak led his team leap frog from one row of cars to the next, the gunmen quickly unveil their secret weapon, an armored SUV armed with a Gatling minigun. "Hunter ground to Hunter air, we got hostile vehicle with mounter HMG ripping us apart, need immediate close air support over!"

"Copy that ground team, we have air support inbound to your help." from the skies on the Kingdom of Acorn side, an UH 80 Ghost Hawk flew over the highway that is now being shoot to pieces, on the starboard side of the sleek stealth utility helicopter, the gunner on its minigun was a yellow fox with twin tails and three pieces of hair sticking out of his forehead, one can easily tell that this is Miles Tails Prower, the best friend of Sonic the Hedgehog. "Target that black SUV with the minigun." The pilot directed Tails to shoot at the black SUV and he does so with a tight controlled burst, he tears the black SUV to shreds with bursts of M134 rounds while avoiding causing unacceptable civilian casaulties. "You're in the clear Kozak, moves to the truck." Tails coordinated his team to moves up as the SUV is shredded to pieces, they gunned down the last gunmen and stack up behind the cargo truck with Tails flying overhead for overwatch. "Alright, opening now, cover me." Kozak opens the doors of the truck and moves in to check the cargo inside. "Overlord, you're getting this?" Kozak asked as he pan the helmet cam around the truck to see a dirty bomb well stacked and well assembled together inside the cargo compartment of the truck.

"Acknowledge Hunter, we're verifying just for sure. But it's looking good. Wait, Predator get out of there!" the sudden panick of the mission commander sent Hunter ground team running away from the truck in panick when they realized that the bomb has already been activated by someone. "Bomb! Bomb! Get clear, move! Go go go!" Kozak and his teammates ran as fast as they can to escape the blast zone but the bomb detonated and wipe out a massive area that's wide as 50 meters in diameter. "Scramble a recovery team now! The whole team is down!" The mission commander shouted over his communication network as a huge cloud of dust rises from the sky and vehicle wreckages falls to the ground and littered all over the area. The only thing that lives from the blast was the UH 80 Ghost Hawk that was carrying Tails. On the border checkpoint, the place was completely descimated with burnt corpses everywhere and and facilities level to the ground.

6 hours later

As the afternoon passed by, goverment agencies were around the area of the blast to clean up the mess left behind while news van from various news agencies were covering the incident to millions of shocked viewers who were still terrified by the terrorist threat that is still fresh in their minds. At the blast site, Mobians wearring HAZMAT suits were cleaning and disinfecting the area, while then intelligent agencies were scavenging for anything that can help them find out who did this attack. But all they found, was a black box, an airline black box goes along with the bomb delivery but thankfully, the blackbox was still intact but what was puzzling the investgators was that why would the terrorist send a blackbox along with their terrorist attack. Their answers soon came when they took the blackbox back to the RIA headquarter, where they put the tape into a cassette player, and press the play the button. "If you can hear this tape Harvey, then you should know that i am offering you a rematch. It's been too long eversince our last met, 30 years ago. But we are not getting any younger, better finish our feud before we kick the can." It was male voice with Russian accent, and hearring the voice mentioned the name Harvey causes the RIA chief of investigation, Geoffrey St John the skunk to concerns very much about the terrorist's agenda.

At Harvey's house, the old owl was enjoying his tea and watching the live news from the border with great concern, at first he thought it was just another terrorist attack. But those thoughts were soon swept away when a telephone rang. "Harvey manor. Harvey is speaking." the owl picked up the phone and begins the conversaiton. "Mr Who, it's Geoffrey, i think we have a situation in our hands. A blackbox was recover at the blast site but it sounds like the box was containing a message meant for you." Harvey was curious and skeptical at Geoffrey's sudden report and he inquired to know more. "What kind of message?" he asked, "Not much that we can tell about it. But it mentions something about an old acquaintance of yours 30 years ago and something about rematch. Whoever made this tape he has a Russian accent in it." As Geoffrey just barely completed his mentioning of the Russian accent, Harvey was silent right away as if he saw a ghost. "Geoffrey, this is something i need to deal with personally. But i'm gonna need you to gather a team for me. I need you to pick up the individuals i need." and so Harvey listed out the team members that he needs to Geoffrey who then sends out convoys of MRAP vehicles and went to pick up the people Harvey needs.

30 minutes later, Sir Charles Hedgehog lab, New Mobotropolis

Inside the high tech lab of Sir Charles Hedgehog, a revolutionary experiment was being conducted, there in the lab, sir Charles was putting together components for a machine that can undo his infamous creation for the first time ever, the technology to change robots into Mobians was possible, the De-Roboticizer. A device that looks like the Roboticizer but works with a completely different concept. When Sir Charles was sure that all of the component of his machine's experimental prototype was ready, he calls in his volunteer test subject, "Alright Shard, you can come in now! NICOLE keeps power function and monitor the vitals of Shard."; "Understood sir Charles." As Shard the Metal Sonic walks into the machine's tube, he nervously tried his best to stand still inside the machine as Sir Charles began to activates its operation. "De-Roboticized in three, two, one. And go!" As the machine starts up a huge lighting moving vertically from Shard's feet up to his legs then to his abdonment and rise up to the robot's head. It covers him completely and shines a blinding white light throughout the room. It finally dies down only seconds away leaving an organic hedgehog inside the tube who was black with yellow stripes on his body, he was wearring a pair of black sneakers with yellow stripes on it, on his neck was a necklace with a green emerald hanging on it. As Shard opens his eyes, the pupils are now green as the emerald on his neck.

"Oh my god! I can't believe it, i'm a real hedgehog!" Shard excited and jolt at the very of sight of his organic body, the touch, the smell, the colors of the world around him were all too much for him to describe by words alone. "Congratulation sir Charles! I think you have changed the world once again." NICOLE gave blessings to sir Charles just as she ran over to hug Shard the Hedgehog, her husband looks like Sonic only with straighten out quills instead of curve in ones. But as they celebrate the excitement of sir Charles's successful invention, the sound of vehicles stopping in front of the lab signals them something is up. Sir Charles and the others saw a group three Mobians in Black wearring shades walking into the lab carrying with them some papers of great importance, "Who are you people?" Sir Charles asked worriedly at the uninvited guests. "Sir CHarles Hedgehog, we need you and your people here to come with us. It's an emergency. We'll brief on the way, it's the matter of national security that requires your special attention." Then the MIBs quickly hustle Sir Charles, NICOLE and Shard out to their convoy and drove away to a secluded location outside of the city.

Fort Blazkowicz, somewhere outside of the city limits.

At Fort Blazkowicz, a top secret military base meant to train the Royal Military's next generation Special Operation Forces, Shard and his friends were soon reunited with their other long time friends such as Silver the Hedgehog, the wolfpack twin sisters Leeta and Lyco, Larry Lynx, but sadly, Elias Acorn can't come to the scene due to his position as a king, they were being rounded up into a hangar where they met their mission handler Harvey Who the Owl, who begins his briefing of the situation and why they are needed to be at Fort Blazkowicz.

"Let me say that it's good to see you all here today for a reunion. Two months ago we tookdown what arguably the world's most dangerous terrorist ever whose name will be kept anonymous for national security reason. However i'm afraid we are facing an even worst threat, at 8:15 this morning, an AFO team led Tails managed to stop a shipment of WMD across the border, however it turns out to be a trap. The dirty bomb inside the delivery truck exploded and kill three out of four members of the AFO team and devestated the entire border checkpoint, only Tails survive and he is now in the care of Sonic and Sally and his family. Among the things we found at the blast zone was a black box use exclusively in airliners. The tape and its content have been analyzed as a challenge to us and us alone. I guess by now you'd know that we need to hit this threat hard, fast and hit them where they hurt the most. Our mission will commence within 3 hours, until then i suggest you all get yourselves ready up. Dismissed!" When Harvey finished the briefing, everyone were filled with worried but sometimes some joy to be working with each other again, but the thing that they worried about the most was who is challenging them.
