This all sounds great, except for "this is where Tails and Knuckles fell next". Unless I'm mistaken, Tails and Knuckles are both alive and well at the start of Sonic Forces, meaning that, if something happens to them, this will either 1) diverge from the canon in that regard or 2) force the characters to launch a rescue mission to get back Tails and Knuckles. If one or both of those are OK with you guys, that's fine with me, but I thought that I should put that out there, just in case.
