      "description": "<div><p><em>\"Memory tokens? I thought that those were only on the Starfall Islands because you guys got stuck in cyberspace…\" Sonic stared in confusion at the strange, floating purple fishhook on Tails' hand. It rotated on its own, emanating an eerie purple glow that reminded the hedgehog of the solemn atmosphere of the islands. Those tokens were associated with memories of running through ever-stretching miles of land while pushing through the strain of cyber corruption. \"Where did you even find these?”<br>\"They just kind of… pop up randomly whenever Amy, Knuckles, or I get stressed or think too much about things. It's not like it hurts. They're kind of crystalized memories.\" Tails explained, showing Sonic other samples of the rest of his friends' memory tokens contained in glass cases; a pink heart—a red medal—and a bright yellow wrench. \"I still think that we should keep them in check in case they do something in large concentrations.”<br>“I get that, but…\" Sonic gently tapped the fish hook memory token again, retreating his hand away once a pulse of electricity traveled through his arm once he made contact with it. \"Why does Big have them? The one that was on Starfall Islands wasn’t even real, at least that’s what Sage said.”<br>“Maybe he was real in the same way that Sage is real! It’d explain why they’re showing up near Emerald Coast. Big lives near there, right?” The fox pondered. “I think that we should at least get some more memory tokens before we confront him. Make sure what we're dealing with before jumping the gun, you know?\"<br>“How many should I get? I… I’d rather not get too many. After the mess in the islands, I think we should stray off cyberspace for a while.”<br>“Yeah, that makes sense. I think… One hundred would be enough!” Tails said as he grabbed a yellow device right next to the samples. “I used this to gather them up and send them into virtual storage. You just need to put them inside and they’ll arrive at my digital vault.” The machine was square-shaped with a seemingly infinite bottom—almost looking like a box with a black hole inside. Neon green lights attached to the side of each side gently hummed as it glowed. <br>Sonic momentarily hesitated, hands trembling before shaking his head, snatching the device, and giving his friend the widest smile he could muster. “Alright, one hundred Big memory tokens coming right up!” The hedgehog chuckled before speeding off—a trail of blue aura left in his haste.<br>“…Hm… I hope nothing goes wrong.” Tails muttered.<br>///<br>In retrospect, the Mystic Ruins were quite small in comparison to his most recent destinations. What was once a giant, expansive, and lush landscape that took him hours to explore was now a five-minute walk thanks to his boost. “Ring energy’s a beast, huh?” He said as he launched himself towards a tree branch, swinging on it to gather enough impulse to be able to gather the final memory token—lingering in the air just close enough to be snatched by a simple lunge. <br>Electricity surged through his body, quills tingling, and standing straight as he began to spin around the branch. Leaves rustled and fell to the ground as he gripped the branch with all his might—momentum building up with every back and forth. He began to move faster and faster, blue light building up. Man, I missed doing this! He eventually began going completely around the branch, circling it as the wood crackled underneath the pressure. All I have to do… Is let go… AT THE RIGHT TIME!<br>Sonic let go of the branch and surged through the air. The piece of wood went flying alongside him, landing on the ground and shattering while he soared above. The memory token glistened in the air as he reached out to it, grasping it in his hand and stuffing it into Tails’ device. Dust flew into the air as he landed, stumbling forward a little as he regained his footing. “Phew! That was a good workout. It went way smoother than I expected, too…” With how bad the last time he interacted with cyberspace went, a tightness in his chest lingered through the entire time he was collecting the memory tokens. Only now that he had them all in his hands could he breathe without a weight on his shoulders. “Now to go home—“<br>“WARNING!”<br>Sonic jolted in surprise as the box-shaped device unleashed an earsplitting shriek and the green lights that had been softly glowing suddenly shifted to a harsh, all-encompassing red. He raised his arm up instinctively to shield himself from the blinding light. \"W-what the hell?!\"<br>“WARNING! WARNING! WARNING! DATA OVERFLOW!”<br>\"W-what do you mean by that?! Did Tails mess up when making this?!\" He screamed as he shoved the box onto the ground, backing away from it slowly. The warnings were unceasing, growing louder with each reminder. Even when plugging his ears, he could barely hear his thoughts. \"Dammit, what can I do to shut you up?!\" It's not like he could break it. There was no telling what would happen to the data storage if he did.<br>“NEED ADDITIONAL STORAGE SPACE. RISK OF EXPLOSION IMMINENT IN: ONE MINUTE.”<br>\"ONE MINUTE?!\" Sonic quickly took his phone out of the satchel he was carrying the box in, desperately dialing down Tails' number. \"Come on, come on! PickupPickupPickupPickup—“ <br>“You’ve reached Miles Tails Prower! If you have a message”<br>“Alright, that’s not working! That is… oooookay!” Sonic muttered to himself, rapidly pacing around the box. “A-alright! What do I do?! Where can I get the additional storage space?!”<br>The box beeped loudly for a few precious seconds, almost as if it was thinking. “PHYSICAL STORAGE CAN BE USED. BIOMETRIC SIGNAL COMPATIBLE WITH BIG THE CAT’S MEMORY TOKENS DETECTED. DO YOU WANT TO ACCESS IT TO PREVENT AN EXPLOSION?”<br>“YES?! Of course I do!” Sonic screamed. “Do that!”<br>“DEPOSITING OVERFLOWING DATA ONTO: SONIC THE HEDGEHOG.”<br>“Wait, huh?!” <br>The yellow box quivered as if it was breathing, its body moving in a slow and regular rhythm. A million tiny lights like fireflies flickered from within the box, rising upwards to form a dazzling spiral that lingered in the air above. In a moment, hundreds upon hundreds of shimmering tokens shot through the air with such speed that they resembled whirling purple threads lashed together. The stream of tokens finally came to an abrupt stop—suspended just inches away from him—before lunging forward with a violent force.</em><br><br>_________<br><br>After memory tokens start manifesting outside the Starfall Islands, Sonic and Tails begin to investigate how these mysterious artifacts work outside of cyberspace.

Neon green lights attached to the side of each side gently hummed as it glowed. <br>Sonic momentarily hesitated, hands trembling before shaking his head, snatching the device, and giving his friend the widest smile he could muster. “Alright, one hundred Big memory tokens coming right up!” The hedgehog chuckled before speeding off—a trail of blue aura left in his haste.<br>“…Hm… I hope nothing goes wrong.” Tails muttered.<br>///<br>In retrospect, the Mystic Ruins were quite small in comparison to his most recent destinations. What was once a giant, expansive, and lush landscape that took him hours to explore was now a five-minute walk thanks to his boost. “Ring energy’s a beast, huh?” He said as he launched himself towards a tree branch, swinging on it to gather enough impulse to be able to gather the final memory token—lingering in the air just close enough to be snatched by a simple lunge. <br>Electricity surged through his body, quills tingling, and standing straight as he began to spin around the branch. Leaves rustled and fell to the ground as he gripped the branch with all his might—momentum building up with every back and forth. He began to move faster and faster, blue light building up. Man, I missed doing this! He eventually began going completely around the branch, circling it as the wood crackled underneath the pressure. All I have to do… Is let go… AT THE RIGHT TIME!<br>Sonic let go of the branch and surged through the air. The piece of wood went flying alongside him, landing on the ground and shattering while he soared above. The memory token glistened in the air as he reached out to it, grasping it in his hand and stuffing it into Tails’ device. Dust flew into the air as he landed, stumbling forward a little as he regained his footing. “Phew! That was a good workout. It went way smoother than I expected, too…” With how bad the last time he interacted with cyberspace went, a tightness in his chest lingered through the entire time he was collecting the memory tokens. Only now that he had them all in his hands could he breathe without a weight on his shoulders. “Now to go home—“<br>“WARNING!”<br>Sonic jolted in surprise as the box-shaped device unleashed an earsplitting shriek and the green lights that had been softly glowing suddenly shifted to a harsh, all-encompassing red. He raised his arm up instinctively to shield himself from the blinding light. \"W-what the hell?!\"<br>“WARNING! WARNING! WARNING! DATA OVERFLOW!”<br>\"W-what do you mean by that?! Did Tails mess up when making this?!\" He screamed as he shoved the box onto the ground, backing away from it slowly. The warnings were unceasing, growing louder with each reminder. Even when plugging his ears, he could barely hear his thoughts. \"Dammit, what can I do to shut you up?!\" It's not like he could break it. There was no telling what would happen to the data storage if he did.<br>“NEED ADDITIONAL STORAGE SPACE. RISK OF EXPLOSION IMMINENT IN: ONE MINUTE.”<br>\"ONE MINUTE?!\" Sonic quickly took his phone out of the satchel he was carrying the box in, desperately dialing down Tails' number. \"Come on, come on! PickupPickupPickupPickup—“ <br>“You’ve reached Miles Tails Prower! If you have a message”<br>“Alright, that’s not working! That is… oooookay!” Sonic muttered to himself, rapidly pacing around the box. “A-alright! What do I do?! Where can I get the additional storage space?!”<br>The box beeped loudly for a few precious seconds, almost as if it was thinking. “PHYSICAL STORAGE CAN BE USED. BIOMETRIC SIGNAL COMPATIBLE WITH BIG THE CAT’S MEMORY TOKENS DETECTED. DO YOU WANT TO ACCESS IT TO PREVENT AN EXPLOSION?”<br>“YES?! Of course I do!” Sonic screamed. “Do that!”<br>“DEPOSITING OVERFLOWING DATA ONTO: SONIC THE HEDGEHOG.”<br>“Wait, huh?!” <br>The yellow box quivered as if it was breathing, its body moving in a slow and regular rhythm. A million tiny lights like fireflies flickered from within the box, rising upwards to form a dazzling spiral that lingered in the air above. In a moment, hundreds upon hundreds of shimmering tokens shot through the air with such speed that they resembled whirling purple threads lashed together. The stream of tokens finally came to an abrupt stop—suspended just inches away from him—before lunging forward with a violent force.</em><br><br>_________<br><br>After memory tokens start manifesting outside the Starfall Islands, Sonic and Tails begin to investigate how these mysterious artifacts work outside of cyberspace.

  "description": "<div><p><em>\"Memory tokens? I thought that those were only on the Starfall Islands because you guys got stuck in cyberspace…\" Sonic stared in confusion at the strange, floating purple fishhook on Tails' hand. It rotated on its own, emanating an eerie purple glow that reminded the hedgehog of the solemn atmosphere of the islands. Those tokens were associated with memories of running through ever-stretching miles of land while pushing through the strain of cyber corruption. \"Where did you even find these?”<br>\"They just kind of… pop up randomly whenever Amy, Knuckles, or I get stressed or think too much about things. It's not like it hurts. They're kind of crystalized memories.\" Tails explained, showing Sonic other samples of the rest of his friends' memory tokens contained in glass cases; a pink heart—a red medal—and a bright yellow wrench. \"I still think that we should keep them in check in case they do something in large concentrations.”<br>“I get that, but…\" Sonic gently tapped the fish hook memory token again, retreating his hand away once a pulse of electricity traveled through his arm once he made contact with it. \"Why does Big have them? The one that was on Starfall Islands wasn’t even real, at least that’s what Sage said.”<br>“Maybe he was real in the same way that Sage is real! It’d explain why they’re showing up near Emerald Coast. Big lives near there, right?” The fox pondered. “I think that we should at least get some more memory tokens before we confront him. Make sure what we're dealing with before jumping the gun, you know?\"<br>“How many should I get? I… I’d rather not get too many. After the mess in the islands, I think we should stray off cyberspace for a while.”<br>“Yeah, that makes sense. I think… One hundred would be enough!” Tails said as he grabbed a yellow device right next to the samples. “I used this to gather them up and send them into virtual storage. You just need to put them inside and they’ll arrive at my digital vault.” The machine was square-shaped with a seemingly infinite bottom—almost looking like a box with a black hole inside.
