Sonic the Hedgehog

Morning, Wade! [Wade: Morning, Sonic!]

Sonic the Hedgehog

Look, I stopped a robbery! I was a hero! [Tom: No, you put people in danger and that's not what a hero does.] You are supposed to be my friend, stop trying to be my dad.

Sonic the Hedgehog

I just got goosebumps. Wait a second. Did you steal that from Oprah?

Sonic the Hedgehog
[Knuckles: You're unskilled... untrained... and unworthy!]

You forgot one: unstoppable!

Sonic the Hedgehog

Today is forecast calls for 100% chance of adventure!

Sonic the Hedgehog
[in a police car away from Knuckles; to Tails]

I think we lost him. [Knuckles suddenly lands on the car and punches a hole through the roof] We have not lost him, we have definitely not lost him!

Sonic the Hedgehog
[Tails: I got an idea; do you trust me?]

Of course not! I literally just met you!

Sonic the Hedgehog
[To Tails]

Did your butt just turn into a helicopter?

Sonic the Hedgehog
[to Robotnik]

Okay, we got to talk about your new look. It is like Professor X meets the Monopoly Man. Also, what kind of genius shows up to Siberia in a convertible?

Sonic the Hedgehog
[directing a missile back to Robotnik]

Return to sender!

Sonic the Hedgehog

Face it: you're never going to get my power. [Knuckles: Do I look like I need your power?]

Sonic the Hedgehog
[snowboarding down a snowy slope, Knuckles catching up to him, doing the same]

Oh, great. The Winter Soldier!

Sonic the Hedgehog

All right, Ozzy, its movie night at Casa de Sonic, and it's your turn to pick. But I am not watching Snow Dogs again. That movie is the [Singsong] worst!

Sonic the Hedgehog
[fighting Knuckles]

I do not want to fight you, but you are not giving me much choice!

Sonic the Hedgehog

For a guy named Knuckles, you are really bad at punching. [Knuckles: Surrender the compass! You are no match for me. I have been training for this my entire life!]

Sonic the Hedgehog

Water. Why did it have to be water?

Sonic the Hedgehog

Okay, this is what we are going to do. Step 1: Light taunting. Step 2: I have no idea.

Sonic the Hedgehog
[as Super Sonic]

It's over, Eggman.

Sonic

Oh, I'm sorry. I don't speak duct tape. [peels off the duct tape, allowing the hostage to speak]

Hostage

What the heck are you?!

Sonic

Fear not, citizen. I am the hero you need and the hero you deserve. The blue dawn that banishes the darkest–– HOLY CRAP! [spots a pedestrian on the road and screams with the hostage as he takes the wheel and drives around her. The hostage continues to scream] Don't worry! Nobody's gonna get hurt! [the pursuit continues as the bag of dynamite slides right next to the driver’s seat] Huh. What are those?

Hostage

Bombs, BOMBS! THEY’RE BOMBS! Those are bombs!

Sonic

Relax, they're not even lit. So, I'll say again, nobody's gonna get–– [the dynamite sticks turn on as their fuses ignite] AAH! I was wrong! We're all gonna die!

Hostage

Why aren't you slowing down?

Sonic

That would require brakes. [he presses on the breaks to no avail as they are blocked by an unconscious bank robber, and he takes the bag of dynamite with his foot and picks it up with his hand] Aah! Ooh! Hot, hot, hot, hot, hot!

Hostage

Why don't you just let the police handle this?!

Sonic

Because that's not what heroes do! [throws all the dynamite sticks out the window. They all fall into a random garbage truck before they explode, scattering its trash everywhere] Thank you very much! Please hold your applause!

Hostage
[Trash falls on the windshield of the truck. The chase continues on. The hostage hears a hissing sound.]

You hear that? There's one bomb left.

Sonic

Uh, uh-oh. [zooms toward the truck's small cubby and looks under]

Hostage

Did you check under the seat?

Sonic

Of course I checked under the seat!

Hostage
[The chase still continues.]

You are terrible at this!

Sonic
[latches onto the wire on the door separating him and the hostage]

You know what? Your negative attitude is not helping anyone.

Hostage
[sees the dynamite stick in Sonic's quills]

It's in your spiky things!

Sonic
[spins around rapidly before getting the stick out and holds it up]

Ha! I can never find anything in here! [throws the dynamite stick out the window, which rolls away, before falling into a storm drain on the side of the sidewalk] Drained it from downtown! [imitates fanfare before retaking the wheel] See? I told you no one would get hurt!

Sonic

No need to thank me, citizens! All in the night's work for… Blue Justice!

Hostage

YOU’RE A TERRIBLE HERO!!
[Sonic laughs as he zips away to Green Hills.]

Sonic

I can take care of myself.

Tom

Sonic, taking care of yourself is not what being a hero is all about. It's about taking responsibility for other people. And now, whether you wanna hear this or not, you are still just a kid. You have some more growing up to do before you're ready to be a hero. Trust me, there will come a time when your powers will be needed. But you don't choose that moment. That moment chooses you.

Sonic

Whoa. Look at you. Look, I just got–– I just got goosebumps. Wait a second, did you steal that from Oprah?

Tom

No, sir, it's a Wachowski family special. Came from my dad, in this very boat, in this very lake. He would always try and steer me in the right direction. That's what Maddie and I always try to do with you. So, until your moment arrives, I want you to work on being more responsible. Comprende?

Sonic

Comprende. High-five on it!

Sonic
[As a taser cuts off the knob of the door, Sonic flinches, then looks wide-eyed as the door opens, revealing Robotnik] [shocked]

Eggman?

Robotnik
[blows out the taser like a candle, then faces Sonic]

Hello, hedgehog! Did you miss me?

Sonic

I don't know how you got back, but you made a big mistake coming here.

Robotnik

Au contraire, mon frere. The mistake was thinking that you've won. But that was just a prelude, an hors d'oeuvre, an aperitif, an Amuse-bouche–

Sonic

I get it.

Robotnik
[chuckles as he walks forward waving a finger]

I don't think you do, but you're about to, and so will that idiot sheriff and his wife. [Sonic makes a fist with blue energy building up] And your little dog, too!

Knuckles
[Sonic rushes up, and time slows as he prepares to punch Robotnik in the face, but Robotnik himself backs away to reveal Knuckles leaping right at Sonic. Time goes back to normal as he punches him right through a wall, destroying the TV. Sonic lays on the couch dazed, as he looks through the wall to see Knuckles looking right at him]

Pitiful. [walks through the hallways as Sonic gets up]

Sonic

What? Who are you?

Robotnik
[sticks his head through the hole]

Where... are my manners? [walks through the hallway and stands right behind Knuckles] Sonic, meet Knuckles. My new BFF-A-E. Best friend forever and ever!

Sonic
[gets on the floor and gets his bag of rings as he wears it like a strapped backpack]

Look, Robotnik, I don't care who you bring to help you. You're never going to get my power.

Knuckles

Do I look like I need your power?

Robotnik
[Sonic starts glowing blue and rushes at Knuckles, but he hits faster, landing a blow that sends his rival through the wall, outside of the house. Knuckles leaps through the hole, and bashes his fists together, sparking red electricity. Robotnik walks out with the bowl of popcorn Sonic had before]

So nice when diabolical evil lives up to the hype!

Knuckles
[demanding]

Where is it?

Sonic

Oh, you want it? [wipes dirt off his face; starts glowing blue] Here it comes.

Knuckles

I was expecting more of a challenge. You're unskilled. Untrained. And UNWORTHY!

Sonic
[Robotnik eats a piece of popcorn]

You forgot one... unstoppable.

Tails

Wow. Okay, let me just say it is an honor to finally meet you, Sonic. Is it okay if I call you Sonic? Everyone calls me "Tails". You're probably wondering why.

Sonic

Let me guess. Because of the extra tail?

Tails

That's right! I should've known you'd get that.

Sonic

Cool. Also, what is going on? Robotnik's back? And who is Clifford the Big Red Rage Monster?

Tails

Oh, that's Knuckles, the last of the echidnas and the most dangerous warrior in the galaxy. He's obsessed with finding the Master Emerald.

Sonic

Are you serious? The Master Emerald? That's just like a bedtime story.

Tails

Well, he believes it's real, and he must think you're the key to finding it.

Tails

Uh, Sonic? Where are we?

Wade

Welcome to the Wade Cave, which is something I hope to someday say to a woman. A woman who's not my mom.

Sonic

Wade, focus. We need to figure out why Knuckles thinks I'm the key to finding the Master Emerald, and why did he mention Longclaw?

Tails

There must be a connection.

Sonic

Wait a minute, there is. [gets out the safe worlds map and points to the emerald on it] There's an emerald on the map Longclaw gave me. I never knew what it meant before.

Tails
[The map glows as the black outlines turn green and shut the lights off.]

Something's happening.

Sonic
[Sonic lets go of the map and the map falls to the floor as green smoke surrounds the map. Then a hologram of Longclaw emerges from the map as she is spreading her wings.]

Longclaw?

Longclaw

Hello, Sonic. If you're watching this, then something has happened to me, and I pray that you've made it to Earth unharmed. This world has been chosen for a very important reason. It's the secret location of the Master Emerald. [spreads her wings out, revealing an image of the Master Emerald, a large green diamond]

Sonic

Woah!

Longclaw

The emerald has the power to turn thoughts into reality.

Wade

Just like the Stay Puft Marshmallow Man from Ghostbusters.

Tails

Shhh!

Longclaw

In the wrong hands, it can threaten all life in the universe. Protecting the emerald was my sacred duty, and now I must pass that responsibility to you.

Sonic

This is my moment.

Longclaw

Follow the map, find the emerald, and keep it safe. Sonic, you have a heart like no other creature I've met. I love you so much. Goodbye.

Sonic
[the hologram ends as Longclaw sinks into the map, fading.]

No, no, no, wait. [the hologram of Longclaw's feather floats into Sonic's hand, which fades as he closes his hands.] I won't let you down, Longclaw.

Wade
[Tails looks concerned for Sonic.]

So, is he like... your dad?

Tails

What?

Wade

No?

Sonic
[walks over to the map and picks it up]

According to the map, the first clue is in Siberia. It's a compass that'll lead us to the emerald.

Tails

And with Knuckles already here, it's a race.

Wade

"Knuckles"… Ya know, I knew a kid in middle school named Knuckles. Could fit his whole fist in his mouth. If this is the same Knuckles, then we're screwed.

Sonic

This Knuckles, that Knuckles, doesn't matter. We're gonna get there first. [throws a ring and opens a portal that has Siberia on the other side]

Tails

Umm... What do you mean "we"?

Sonic

You're coming with me.

Tails

Oh, no, no, no, no. I-I just came here to warn you. I'm not a field guy.

Sonic

Don't worry, I got your back. I'm not gonna let anything happen to you. [makes a fist and lifts it to Tails, who walks over to him] It's a power bump. On Earth, it means an unbreakable promise.

Tails

Okay, I'm in! [he and Tails power bump]

Tails

Check this out.

Sonic

Can you translate that?

Tails

Yeah. Ages ago, a fearsome group of warriors, known as the echidnas, forged the seven Chaos Emeralds into the most unstoppable weapon ever created.

Sonic

The Master Emerald.

Tails

With it, a single warrior could defeat entire armies. Believing no one should have such power, an order of heroes recovered the emerald and swore to protect it from evil. Sounds like the owls and echidnas have been fighting each other (over that emerald) for centuries.

Sonic

Like Vin Diesel and the Rock.

Sonic

Has anyone ever told you you've got serious anger issues?

Knuckles

You mock me with your weak jokes, but you know nothing about me, hedgehog.

Sonic

Well, I know you echidnas have a habit of showing up uninvited and ruining my life.

Knuckles

Ruining your life? Another bad joke. [becoming more pensive] I lost everything because of you. My tribe was on the verge of its greatest victory. The last of the owl warriors were located; soon, Longclaw's emerald secrets would be ours. But my father stopped me from joining the fight. He said my moment to honor our tribe would come, but it was not this moment. Those were the last words he spoke to me. I never saw him again.

Sonic
[somberly]

We both lost everything that day.

Tom
[Sonic, an unconscious Tails and a massive amount of snow crash through the ring portal, sending the wedding guests flying]

Is anybody hurt? Sonic! Are you okay?

Maddie

What happened? Are you hurt?

Sonic

No, no, no. I'm fine.

Tom

Okay, good. Because you’re in SO MUCH TROUBLE!

Maddie

Okay. [to Tom, with her hands out to him] You, calm down. [to Sonic] You, talk.

Sonic

Okay, quick version. Robotnik is back on Earth, and he's after a magic emerald.

Tom

What?

Sonic
[with an annoyed look, Rachel slaps her hands to her legs]

We need to get it back or the world is doomed. [spots Tails sill lying down and surrounded by snow] Tails! Oh, no, no, no!

Maddie

Wait. All of this happened since yesterday?

Tom

Hey, wait, wait. Who's Tails?

Sonic
[digs up Tails, who is still unconscious]

Tails, can you hear me?

Rachel
[shocked]

Oh, Lord, there are two of 'em now.

Sonic

Okay, okay, lemme think, lemme think. Tails, come on, buddy.

Tom
[suddenly, an electric net is shot onto Sonic, knocking him out]

Whoa!

Rachel

Randall, why do all of your friends have weapons?

Walters

You really should have taken me up on that brunch, Mr. and Mrs. Wachowski.

Tom

Olive Garden guy?

Walters

It's okay, everyone. We're federal agents. You, too, agent. Go ahead.

Rachel
[Randall reveals his badge.]

You mean to tell me that this entire wedding was a SETUP?!

Randall

Rachel, wait a minute.

Tom

What?

Walters

That's correct, ma'am. Every single aspect of Operation Catfish was a complete fabrication.

Rachel
[angrily]

"Operation Catfish"? So, is everyone here an agent?! [to the priest] Are you an agent?! [the priest reveals a taser inside his book.] Son of a… Was the florist an agent? How about the photographer?! The woman who waxed my... At the spa? [slaps her arm again] Is Jojo an agent?

Randall

Rachel.

Jojo

What?

Randall

Rachel, listen to me.

Rachel
[fully angered]

I’M DONE LISTENING! [being hold back by the priest and another man] I AM DONE LISTENING!!

Randall

I’m so sorry, I’m so sorry. I really am. I am so sorry.

Tom

No. Hey, no! [pushes a man out of the way and chases after the agents, punching them one by one] Let him go!

Randall

Hey!

Tom

Sonic, hang on!

Randall
[handcuffs Tom]

Take it easy. It's not worth it.

Maddie

Tom!

Walters
[confronts Maddie]

Ah, ah, ah.

Maddie

Sonic is not a threat. He's on our side.

Walters

He's an uncontrolled extraterrestrial. And your days of aiding and abetting him are over. [to his agents] Secure them in the hotel until the chopper arrives.

Tom

You're making a mistake.

Rachel
[still angrily]

Hold on, Major A-hole! This is still my day, and someone is gonna explain to me WHAT THE HELL IS GOING ON HERE!!

Walters

After the events in San Francisco, a global task force was created, devoted to protecting our planet from alien threats. That day, Guardian Units of Nations was born.

Rachel

G-U-N. [puts her hands on her hips] Seriously?

Walters

GUN, yeah.

Maddie

Look, what about protecting our planet from Dr. Robotnik?

Walters

Robotnik is dead.

Maddie

You're wrong. He's back. And you just hauled away the only ones who could stop him.

Robotnik
[after Knuckles says that the world will know what he and Robotnik have accomplished]

Such a lovely sentiment Knuckles. I think I felt a tear in my eye. [wipes it] Unfortunately, [uses his index and pinky finger like a taser, ready to attack Knuckles] you're about as useful to me as a backstage pass to Limp Bizkit.

Sonic
[Sonic crashes through the ceiling of the Master Emerald's chamber, behind Robotnik and Knuckles, poison darts stuck in his quills] [coughs]

Nailed it. [a giant mace ball lands right behind him]

Robotnik

This guy is always trying to spoil a bad thing!

Sonic

Oh, you guys are here too? [he shakes the darts off of his head] Took the long way, huh?

Knuckles

Is everything a joke to you? Why must you constantly interfere with my destiny?

Sonic

Because my destiny is to protect my friends and family!

Robotnik

I think I just threw up in my mouth.

Sonic

And if you want the emerald, you're gonna have to go. Through. Me!
[As Robotnik gulps, Sonic races upstairs towards the Emerald. Robotnik jumps back with amazement. Knuckles zooms up. Sonic and Knuckles collide with blue and red electricity. Sonic punches Knuckles in the face 3 times, Knuckles punches him back. Sonic punches him again. Knuckles tries to punch Sonic again, but he blocks it with a kick. They push each other off, but Sonic lands on the wall and charges at Knuckles, Successfully punching him hard in the stomach and sending him flying.]

Robotnik
[doing commentary on Sonic and Knuckles' fight]

The echidna's taking no prisoners today! Sonic has heart, but will he lose the "quill" to live?

Sonic
[after Knuckles lands on the ground]

I don't wanna fight you, but you're not giving me much choice! [goes to kick Knuckles, but the echidna punches him through a waterfall]

Knuckles
[grunts]

Too easy. Let's do this. [starts to walk up the stairs to the emerald, and stops when he notices something blue. The ground breaks, making Knuckles trip backward. Sonic runs up the wall and stops on the roof. He charges up a spindash and slams Knuckles repeatedly into the ground 3 times. Sonic slams his rival really hard one last time. Knuckles springs back up and rapidly tries to punch him] Why don't you stand still and die... with honor?!

Sonic

Let me think about it. Okay, I thought about it and... I PASS!!

Knuckles
[as he goes to crush Sonic with a large rock]

Say goodbye, hedgehog.

Sonic
[gapes as he spots Robotnik]

Knuckles, stop. Robotnik is stealing the emerald.

Knuckles

What kind of fool do you take me for?

Sonic

Just look! [Knuckles looks over his shoulder to watch Robotnik reach out to the emerald]

Robotnik

Mine. [goes to grab the emerald, but stops to look over at Knuckles]

Knuckles

Wait! That wasn't the deal. [drops the rock as Sonic stands up, while holding his arm in pain]

Robotnik

Oh, you poor, naive creature. It's not your fault. A more advanced intellect would've seen this move coming a mile away, or 1.6 kilometers.

Knuckles

But I trusted you! You were my friend!

Robotnik
[laughs, pretends to cry, then laughs again kind of like the Grinch]

Sorry. That just hit me funny. Let this be my final to you, you dimwitted celestial skin tag. Friends are open, honest and vulnerable with each other, which means X square times the hypotenuse of Y square divided by the absolute power of friendship equals... DOOKIE!

Sonic

Oh, no!

Emerald Eggman
[Robotnik grabs hold of the Emerald and a wave of green energy surrounds him. The force knocks Sonic and Knuckles off of their feet]

Chaos... is... power!
[With his jacket turned black and the lenses on his goggles and the trim turned green, Robotnik and the emerald disappear. The whole temple starts to collapse]

Sonic
[Sonic is washed on the beach, saved by Knuckles]

You saved me.

Knuckles
[sits down, frowning]

Don't talk to me. I'm not in the mood. [Sonic hits him with a sand ball] How dare you attack me in my hour of sorrow?! [Sonic throws another sand ball at him]

Sonic

Why did you save me?

Knuckles
[throws a large sand ball that almost buried him completely]

Because you saved me first, which clearly gave you a tactical advantage I do not understand. [Sonic shakes sand off of himself as Knuckles prepares to throw another big sand ball.]

Sonic

It wasn't a tactic. I couldn't just let you die.

Knuckles

Why? [drops the sand ball] I've been trying to destroy you since the moment we met.

Sonic

Because being a hero isn't about taking care of yourself. It’s about taking responsibility for other people.

Knuckles

Wise words. An ancient Earth proverb?

Sonic

No, sir, it's a Wachowski family special. I got it from a guy in a rowboat. Someone who means a lot to me.

Knuckles

Those were our best attacks, and they did nothing.

Tails

We can't beat Robotnik as long as he's got that emerald. He's too powerful.

Sonic

Look, we aren't strong enough to beat Robotnik on our own, but there are three of us. [to Knuckles] Your strength, [to Tails] your smarts, and my speed, together. That's how we win.

Knuckles

So, we make our stand here on the field of battle.

Tails

As a team!

Sonic

This is it. This is our moment!

Emerald Eggman

Time to fight.

Sonic

Bad time to say this, but I don't have a plan. Tails, any ideas?

Tails

We have to find his weak spot.

Knuckles

I suggest the groin.

Sonic

What? No, no!

Knuckles

Traditionally, yes. The groin is the weakest spot.

Sonic

Stop saying "groin"!

Emerald Eggman

Hedgehog!

Sonic

Look out! I know what his weak spot is, it's me! I'm the groin! Think about it! I live rent-free in this dude's head, so if I go out there and rile him up...

Knuckles

He'll focus on only you, leaving himself open to a flanking maneuver from me and the fox! Hedgehog, you are a brave and noble warrior! Go to your certain death with honor!

Sonic

We're going to have to work on your pep talks, pal.

Tails

Yeah.

Sonic

Let's go.

Sonic

Okay, this is what we're gonna do. Step 1: Light taunting. Step 2: I have no idea.

Knuckles
[After Robotnik has been defeated, Knuckles fixes the Master Emerald and brings it to Sonic and Tails]

I've spent my entire life questing for this. Now I have it, now we have it. What can we do with it? What next?

Tails

There were once two orders of heroes who protected the galaxy from those who used the emerald for evil.

Knuckles

But they've all passed on to the great battlefield in the sky.

Sonic

So, we start a new order. The three of us.

Knuckles

This is no light task. We must make a vow: to use our powers to keep the universe safe, to watch out for each other; our new tribe.

Tails

Oh, I know! A power bump!

Sonic
[holds out his fist]

Good idea!

Tails
[Sonic puts his fist against Tails'. Knuckles looks at them confused]

It's an Earth custom. An unbreakable promise.

Knuckles

Very well. A power bump it is. [puts his own fist against Sonic and Tails' fists]

Sonic

Power bump!

Tom
[to Sonic before getting ice cream with Tails, Knuckles, Maddie and Ozzy]

Oh, I'm happy for you, pal. You got your wingmen. Perfect friends to grow up with.

Tails

Come on, Knuckles.

Knuckles

Ah, my victory chariot! [he jumps into the back of the truck]

Sonic

I got a lot more than that... Dad.

Tom
[Tom smiles]

I'll race you to the truck. 1-2-3, GO!
[Sonic races Tom to the truck]
