At ground zero of the formerEggman Empire bunker.

"You been carrying some serious baggage all on your own. I see that now," Tangle understands what Whisper was going through.

"Let us help you," Lyra chimed.

"What happened? What did Mimic do to you?" Bon-Bon asked.

Whisper begins to tell the three about the five members of the Diamond Cutters while presenting a picture of them; herself, their scout; Smithy, their crafter; Slinger, their marksman; Claire Voyance, their psy-op; and Mimic, their infiltrator. Tangle compliments Whisper on how cool they looked. Whisper goes on to say that they were an anti-Eggman mercenary team and they took the most dangerous missions. At the time, she thought they were all committed to the cause. Whisper gets her mask scope to show a video image of them the events of their last mission and tells her that the video of their masks was linked to letting them review their missions and study each other's perspectives.

From Smithy's perspective, at an Eggman Empire base, he, Claire, and Slinger pretended to be captured by Mimic who was disguised as an Egg Pawn. After they managed to destroy the foot soldiers, Smithy asked Claire where the patrols were. Claire managed to see one formation on the far end of the base and two more inside that were recharging. Smithy then turned to Whisper, who told him that she saw one patrol that was one hundred meters from the front gate. Switching to Mimic's perspective, Smithy went on to say that the door should be blown while they tore down everything near the center. With this, Smithy and Slinger began to shoot at many Egg Pawns. From Whisper's distance away, she saw an approaching Blaster tank with several Badniks following it and swiftly took it down with her rifle. On the inside, Claire neutralized the central command tower. Mimic quickly built a way out with his Wispon and the others followed while Whisper gave the all-clear to leave.

"Hell yeah! You guys were awesome!" Tangle said enjoying the mission.

"We worked well together," Whisper's Cyan Wisp exclaimed.

"I'll say! You all- Aah!" Bon-Bon added then heard the alien talk. "Wait a minute you can talk?"

The Wisp spoke in their usual language then Bon-Bon put on the mask on her face.

"Say again?"

"I said 'of course, we can talk'."

"The mask allows you to talk to the Wisps!" Tangle exclaimed.

"Smithy was a genius and was the one who created their masks, Wispons, and miscellaneous gear. He wished for the team to act as one with the help of their masks. The Variable Wispon was actually a prototype and they were all meant to have one so that they could all use each of the Wisps." The wolf explained but then stops but Tangle proceeds to ask her to continue as the truth was eating her up inside. When Whisper refuses to tell her, Tangle asks to see the footage on her mask's file instead, not wanting to rush her into confronting her past. However, she reasons that the more Whisper can share with her, the more the lemur can help her. The Wisps gather around Whisper, agreeing with Tangle's point of view. With this, Whisper inputs new commands into her mask and hands it to Tangle. Tangle puts on the mask to view another playback from Whisper's point of view. Mimic can be seen talking about an Eggman base that the team should take down so that his forces along the coastline would blackout. He saw this as a big opportunity as Eggman was currently focusing on taking over the world as a certain hedgehog had disappeared. Claire turned to Whisper and asked her to hang back like she usually did despite the fact that Mimic said that they were all needed on the ground for the mission. Claire told her that she had a bad feeling about the mission but still did not want to pass up such an opportunity. At the Eggman base, the Diamond Cutters found no security of any kind. Claire had trouble seeing anything in the base, deducing Eggman must have been projecting alpha waves. Whisper also reported that no activity was occurring outside of the base. Slinger did not like how Eggman seemed more prepared for the Diamond Cutters this time while Mimic believed the doctor was simply adapting since no other team was taking down his bases. Smithy found both Slinger and Mimic right and asked the latter to scout around for an ambush while they pushed ahead. Soon, Claire deduced where the alpha waves were occurring the strongest, believing Eggman was hiding something in unfamiliar capsules. Smithy told the team to lock and load so that they could destroy the base's interior. Smithy then came across a capsule, believing it contained something that looked similar to Metal Sonic. To his shock, it was actually a Shadow Android. The room door locked behind the trio and many more Shadow Androids began to break out of their capsules. Unable to escape, the Diamond Cutters tried to fight against androids with all of their strength. Slinger and Claire attempted to contact Whisper and Mimic but neither of them answered.

"So that's what happened with Mimic what about Venjix?" Tangle asked.

"After Mimic disposes of all the Diamond Cutters but Whisper, Eggman wanted to make sure that no one else will pull anything surprises on his turf," Bon-Bon explained. "But when he did find out about us he hired Venjix to capture us in response for Princess Celestia and Luna to surrender, instead Princess Twilight and her friends defeated him and rescued us in the process but even though he fail to stop us, he promises him the next he sees us he kill us and the others since Eggman pays well for his services."

"And as for me, I waited until Mimic cleared the area. Reduced the Wisps. Went back to base, Took Smithy's prototype."

"But I got a question for you," Lyra turned to Whisper. "Why keep hold of the footage?"

"Never forget. Never Forgive."

"That's why you took the wispon and fought as 'The Guardian Angel of the Battlefield.' and why you were uneasy around Shadow."

"That was their idea, not mine. And it was difficult seeing the original."

"I pretty much of everything now, but why leave and the others out of it? For one, Venijx is dangerous as Mimic, but if he gets inside your head, then why ask Sonic, Rainbow, Twilight, or hell, anybody!"

"You are the first friends I've allowed myself to have since then I can't bear the thought of losing anyone again."

"Well too bad! You're my friend too! And Friends look for each other no matter what!"

"They nearly destroy us tonight."

"Well yeah... Which means there both get double the payback for every bad thing that they have done! Especially not when her friends need avenging."

With this, Whisper hugs the lemur and the ponies. "Thank you."

"Alright then, what's our net move? The trail is cold and could a take a while to find either of them." Lyra said.

"Maybe not, they both got 'rid of you' once. Eggman will demand solid proof meaning they will come back and give them a taste of their own medicine."

Later Venjix the Hunter arrives on the scene.

"Well, I'm here. This is the spot where Mimic finished them off... Not only the Wolf is still alive she had become a become of beacon of hope during the Eggman War. Sonic and those ponies give him a headache as it is, there's no more room for one more!"

Venijx saw the bunker but no sign of them and instead of finding something else and contacted Dr. Eggman.

"Doc, it's me Venijx, remember when ask both to dispose of the last diamond cutters and her pony friends. Bad news, they escaped, but good news I know exactly where to find them. Feel free to contact Mimic and let him know that he still has a job to finish and not much trouble send some back up because I'm through playing fair and make personally make sure that wipe off from the face of the map."
