Miles "Tails" Prower quotes from Sonic the Hedgehog 3 (2024)

Miles "Tails" Prower

Come on, Sonic! Catch up! Yeah! [Sonic: What in the what now?]

Miles "Tails" Prower

Uh, start with the giant fireball? [Sonic: I love it. Let's start with a giant fireball.]

Miles "Tails" Prower

He looks just like you. [Knuckles: Impossible!]

Miles "Tails" Prower

Calm down, Knuckles! This is a Chao Garden. One of the top ten must-see spots in all of Tokyo! It's the perfect place for us to blend in! [Japanese Girl: Are you Detective Pikachu?]

Miles "Tails" Prower

Oh, I'm not Sonic's assistant, we're teammates. He's the leader, Knuckles is the muscle, and I'm the gadget guy! We all have a role to play. That's what makes the team so special. That, and the fact we're best friends.

Miles "Tails" Prower

Gotta be faster than that! [Tom: [exits the tent, now in an arm sling] Give me a break. I'm still a little slow over here.]

Sonic

Wait a second. I thought we were going tubing. Hold on, hold on, is this a race?

Tails

You're going down!

Knuckles

It is my destiny to claim the throne of Family Champion, hedgehog!

Sonic

Ha-ha, cute! Are you sure you wanna challenge the fastest creature in the universe? I mean, that's kinda my whole brand. [spins out of his floatie and removes his flippers and sunglasses] Okay, Tom and Maddie, count us down!

Tom

Right! [to Maddie] Don't worry, a little sibling rivalry is healthy. Me and my brothers used to do this kind of thing all the time.

Maddie

Tom, your brothers are lunatics and neither of them were born with the power to trigger a global, cataclysmic event, so...

Tom

That's a fair point. Did you hear that, boys? No cataclysmic events, alright? Let's try to keep this cataclysmic-less.

Sonic

10-4!

Tails

Got it!

Knuckles

Understood, Lord of the Donuts!

Maddie

Then, on your marks, get set, go! [Team Sonic takes off fast]

Sonic

And way out in front, to the surprise of absolutely no one, it's the Blue Blur, the Red-Shoed Rocket, the one, the only--

Tails

Come on, Sonic, catch up! Yeah! [flies ahead]

Sonic

What in the what now?

Knuckles

I am also defeating you, hedgehog!

Sonic

Seriously? Alright, you know what? Time to light the afterburners! [accelerates past, grinding up a fallen tree] Look! It's a bird, it's a plane, it's Air Hedgehog! [passing the Goal Plate, dancing] Yes! I did it! I... [sees Tails and Knuckles tapping their feet] lost?! How is that even possible? I did not lose!

Knuckles

I am also defeating you, hedgehog.

Sonic

Okay, okay, I get it, man. No need to rub it in.

Tails

Come on, Sonic, catch up! Yeah!

Sonic

Wait, what's going on?

Sonic

Why are you guys acting like... [looks up, sees Tails' hologram projectors] Holograms! Which means I remain the undefeated speed champion of all time! Yeees! And the crowd goes wild! But also, what's going on? [hurries back to the campsite to see a surprise birthday party waiting before him]

Surprise!

Sonic

Wait a second, you guys, what is all this? [points to the banner] "Happy B-Arthur Day"?

Maddie

No, it's "Happy B-Earth-day."

Tom

Today's the anniversary of the day you came to Earth, bud. It's your Earth Day birthday.

Sonic

So, the race was just a distraction, which I totally didn't fall for, by the way, good try, though, so you could throw a party for me?

Knuckles

Today we honor you, hedgehog.

Tails

If it wasn't for you, none of us would be here right now.

Tom

The boys are right, bud. Y'know, the day you came to this planet is the day all our lives changed forever.

Maddie

And we became a family.

You stole my hoomans.

Sonic

You guys, I don't, I don't know what to say, except... Let's party! [high-fives Tom]

Tails

Toga! Toga!

Knuckles

It's now on 'til the break of dawn!

Knuckles

I have dishonored my marshmallow.

Tails

It's really just a question of temperature and distance.

Maddie

It's not a competition.

Tom

This is so nice.

Maddie

Peace.

Tom

Quiet.

Maddie

Finally.

Tom

Finally. [Suddenly, a G.U.N. helicopter arrives at the campsite, much to Sonic's annoyance]

Sonic

Hey! We're trying to have a family moment down here! [he and his family walk over to the landing helicopter]

Maddie

What did we do?

Tom

Or what did they do?

Tails

What did you do?

Sonic

I don't know, I do a lot of stuff.

Rockwell

Mr. and Mrs. Wachowski. [to the boys, with more spite] Aliens.

Sonic

"Aliens"? Excuse me? It's not like we're from different plan-- Oh, yeah, we are. I guess we are aliens. Please continue.

Rockwell

I'm Director Rockwell. There is a very dangerous situation unfolding right now in Tokyo. Commander Walters is requesting Team Sonic's immediate assistance.

Knuckles

"Team Sonic"? Who picked that name?

Sonic

Love it, 10 out of 10, no notes. Tom and Maddie, put the s'mores on ice, because Team Sonic is off to save the day!

Maddie

Remember... make good choices!
[Tom gives a thumbs up, and Ozzy waves goodbye]

Tails

Good evening, and welcome to Tails Airflight 1012. We're looking at an on-time arrival into Tokyo!

Sonic

Okay, Captain, we've got a rogue alien on the loose. How do we find him?

Tails

Uh, start with the giant fireball?

Sonic

I love it, let's start with the giant fireball!

Knuckles

Ha-ha-ha...! Finally, some action!

Tails

Okay, time to gear up. [pulls out some handcuffs] Titanium handcuffs. Completely indestructible.

Knuckles

I don't need your silly gizmos, fox. And you know why? Because I am...

1,000,000% muscle.

Knuckles

Yes, good, you've been listening.

We're over the drop zone.

Sonic

All right, here we go. Showtime!

Sonic

Now, look, we don't know if it's Godzilla or Hello Kitty down there, but as long as we stick together, there is nothing we can't handle. Team Sonic on three! [As he counts up, he, Tails, and Knuckles each put their fists together one by one.] One, two, three...

Teeeeeam...

...Sonic!

Knuckles

...Knuckles!

Sonic

Talk about low budget flights. No food or movies? We're outta here!
[Team Sonic jumps out of the helicopter, and the vocals of "Neon" kick in as they skydiving down to the crossing, Sonic, Tails, Knuckles opening their parachutes, Landed Safely]

Knuckles

What happened here?

Sonic

Looks like G.U.N. got their butts kicked. Keep your eyes open. Tails, anything?

Tails

Whoa. These energy readings are off the charts.

Sonic

Look out!

Knuckles

1,000,000%. [winks and tosses the humvee aside]

Sonic

Whoa. Are you guys seeing this?

Tails

He looks just like you.

Knuckles

Impossible!

Shadow

You're a colorful bunch.

Sonic

Uh, excuse me. Why do you look like me?

Shadow

I don't look like you. You look like me. Why do you look like me?

Sonic

Hey, you know what? I'll ask the questions, new hedgehog! Who are you?! Why do you look like me?!

Shadow

This is a waste of time. Walk away, before you get hurt.

Sonic

Whoa, whoa. Easy, buddy. [takes out the electric handcuffs] We don't want to fight you.

Knuckles

Actually, Sonic, I would like to fight. [Sonic pushes Knuckles aside]

Sonic

Not now. [to Shadow] Would you stop throwing cars at us for a second, and come down here to talk?

Shadow

You jumped out of a G.U.N. helicopter. There's nothing to talk about. [turns to leave]

Knuckles

All right, then, enough!

Sonic

Knuckles, no!

Knuckles

Let us talk with our fists!

Knuckles

AHHHH!!!

Knuckles! [they run over to help him up]

Sonic

Knuckles, are you okay?

Knuckles

No, not really, ow...!

Tails

Who is this guy?

Knuckles

He's much more impressive than the hedgehog I fought previously.

Sonic

Dude, I'm standing right here. Now, come on, he can't take us all at once! [Unfortunately, Shadow uses his teleportation ability to easily take down Team Sonic within seconds.] Okay, he took us all at once. [then collapses]

Shadow

Weakling. [commandeers a G.U.N. motorcycle. Sonic looks up in time to see him kick up a G.U.N. energy pistol into his hand] Don't try to follow me.

Tails

Sonic, I know that look! Going after him is a bad idea!

Sonic

When has that ever stopped me? [runs after Shadow, his eyes glowing blue]

Sonic

Ugh. 1.21 gigawatts. [sees the handcuffs shackling him to a railing] Oh, you've gotta be kidding me.

Tails

Sonic! Are you okay?

Sonic

I'm fine, guys. And before you ask me, I handcuffed myself for tactical reasons that I do not have time to explain.

Tails

You shouldn't have gone off on your own. We're supposed to be a team.

Sonic

Sorry, buddy. I'm still working on this teamwork thing.

Knuckles

So, now what?

Sonic

Well, I'm not jumping out of any more helicopters until we get some answers from G.U.N. We need somewhere to regroup.

Tails

I know just the place!

Knuckles

It's an ambush! You'll never take us alive, foul beasts!

Tails

Calm down, Knuckles! This is a Chao Garden, one of the top ten must-see spots in all of Tokyo. It's the perfect place for us to blend in!

Are you Detective Pikachu?

Sonic

Yes, he is!

Knuckles

He does look like a Pokémon! [Tails looks annoyed as Knuckles begins to mimic the impression of Pikachu] Pika-Pika! Ha!

Sonic

Commander Walters.

Sonic. Thank God you're all okay. I'm sure you have questions.

Sonic

Just a big, ticked off, red-and-black one. Who was that guy?

Shadow's story began a lot like yours, Sonic. But where you found family and friends on this planet, Shadow found only pain and loss. [the scene cuts to 1974, where a shocked farmer walks out of his truck to have a look of a meteorite that contains Shadow inside] It begins over fifty years ago with a meteor crash in a quiet corner of Oklahoma. The meteorite contained a lifeform... the ultimate lifeform. [inside the meteorite, Shadow opens his eyes] Shadow’s power, his chaos energy, went far beyond any living creature. The scientists who discovered him believed this power would usher in a new era for humanity. But Shadow’s power proved too dangerous. A terrible accident destroyed the lab, taking human lives with it. The project leader was blamed for the incident and imprisoned. With the program cancelled, Shadow was a loose end no one knew how to deal with. Too dangerous to be walking free, too valuable to destroy. So I had to place him into stasis... [as the water rises from below the imprisoned Shadow, a young Walters watches him as the black hedgehog gives him one last angry look before disappearing completely] Indefinitely. [the scene fades back to the present]

Sonic

Wait a second. If Shadow's been on ice for fifty years, someone had to help him escape.

True, but there's only a few people in the world who even know of Shadow's existence.

Stone

Doctor, we have visitors.

Dr. Ivo Robotnik

Really? I thought I was having an anthropomorphic nightmare, where the only person I could trust in the world showed up with all my worst enemies, while I was in a bathrobe, playing congas on my big, fat belly!

Stone

Sorry, sir.

Sonic

I don't believe it. Eggman's alive?

Tails

And he's never looked... worse.

Ivo Robotnik

Well, maybe this is what "not giving a **** what you think I look like" looks like.

Stone

Sir, right now, we have an even bigger problem.

Ivo

Oh, come on...

Stone

There's an imposter out there, using your technology.

Ivo

"Imposter". That's impossi... What?! [recorded footage of the hacked egg drones plays on the monitor] No... My sweet, mechanized spawn! Whomever this party-pooping posse is looking for has stolen my persona, and the precious babies from my egg sac. Well, I'll soon "egg sac"-t my revenge. You see what I did there? [off Stone's laugh] It's time for the dramatic soap opera twist, where this Pablo reveals his Juan! [goes over to one of his devices, shoving trash out of the way.] By cross-referencing the precise coordinates of each drone's energy spikes, I can track my babies to the imposter's base of operations, right about… [points at a location] there.

Tails

Sonic, I hate to say it, but I think we're both after the same person.

Sonic

Hold on, hold on. You're not suggesting we team up with Doctor Ro-butt-stink, are you?

Knuckles

Perhaps the fox is right. It could be our only chance to find this mysterious, more impressive hedgehog.

Sonic

All right, Egghead, I hate to say it, but it looks like we're partners.

Ivo

On one condition. [holds out his hand, gesturing Sonic to give him something]

Sonic

Dude, you have serious issues. Ow! [plucks out one of his quills and begrudgingly gives it to Ivo. Ivo puts it to his tongue, and it shocks him with Chaos energy.]

Ivo

Let's… [grabs Stone, shouting in his face] …do this!

Knuckles

Just a dark, creepy hallway. Nothing to be afraid of. You hear that, ghost?! You don't frighten me! [a pipe blows steam behind, startling him.] Get… a… grip. [turns around to find Shadow right in front of him]

Shadow

Boo.

Knuckles

AAAH!

Stone

I'm just gonna come right out and say this... You're adorable.

Tails

Oh, um, thanks.

Stone

So, what's it like being Sonic's assistant? You have a daily routine? Paid time off? Benefits?

Tails

Oh, I'm not Sonic's assistant. We're teammates! He's the leader, Knuckles is the muscle, and I'm the gadget guy. We all have a role to play. That's what makes the team so special. That and the fact we're best friends.

Stone

...you are?

Tails

Well, yeah, just like you and Eggman, right?

Stone

Of course, yes! Me and the doctor, best of friends! [looks away, sadly] That's definitely what we are.

Stone and Tails

AAAH!!!!

Sonic

Oh, no. Someone tell me this is some kind of concussion-induced nightmare. There's TWO Eggmen now?!

Ivo

Double your villains, double your fun!

Gerald

Two Robotniks are way worse than one!

Ivo

Chest bump? No. [to Stone] Stone, why are you tied up? Do that on your own time. You sicken me.

Shadow

You must be the long-lost grandson.

Ivo

And you must be another stinking hedgehog.

Sonic

So, you're the one behind all this? The Shadow breakout.

Tails

The attack on Walters!

Knuckles

That musty old man smell?

Gerald

How dare you insult me with your unsolicited exposition! Shadow, get the key.

Shadow

Where is it?

Sonic

Ha! Good one, Hot Topic. Do you really think we'd be that stupid, to bring the key right to you? [Shadow takes the key from Tails' backpack.] Yup, we're that stupid.

Shadow

G.U.N. took everything from us. And now we are going to take everything from them.

Gerald

With this. [activates a small hologram] My masterpiece of malevolence: the Eclipse Cannon. In exchange for my freedom, I gave G.U.N. the most powerful weapon mankind has ever seen, capable of delivering a precision strike anywhere on Earth. Our first target: G.U.N. headquarters!

Sonic

But firing a weapon that powerful could threaten millions of innocent lives!

Gerald

Yeah, terabyte me! [Ivo chuckles at Gerald's pun] This is one of two keys required to launch the Eclipse Cannon. The other is locked inside G.U.N. headquarters. Once we have both, I will take rightful control of my weapon.

Ivo

I'm in.

Gerald

Holy crab!

Stone

Spacious and crustaceous.

Ivo

Thank you so much for inspiring this little adventure. It really worked out for me.

Sonic

And you wonder why I have trust issues! [As the Robotniks and Stone board the crab, Shadow teleports above Team Sonic.] Shadow, wait! Don't do this. I know you're hurting, but don't let that change who you are inside.

Shadow

I've spent 50 years reliving what they did to her. [deploys a black hole orb with his Chaos energy] This is who I am inside. [drops the orb and then teleports into the crab]

Sonic

Uh, nice magic marble. Real scary. [The orb unleashes a vortex, absorbing the base's ruins.] Aah! That actually is real scary!

Tails

It's a mini black hole! It's going to suck in all the matter in this base!

Knuckles

Fear not, friends! Even my teeth are muscles! [bites down on a loose cable, keeping the team from being absorbed]

Tails

Sonic, try to reach one of my rings!

Sonic

Got one! Check this out. Trick shot! [flips the ring up and kicks it to try to open it, but it keeps bouncing into debris being pulled in.] Come on... come on... come on! [Knuckles loses his grip, and the team is pulled towards the vortex, but the ring opens right in front of them, transporting them to safety at the edge of a nearby cliff. The team briefly celebrates before witnessing the black hole devouring the mountain and disappearing.] Yikes. Somebody better call Google Maps.

Tom

And done! Masterpiece. Look at that.

Maddie

Yay! [wearing an "All or Muffin" apron, she brings more bread and joins Tom on the sofa.] It's really been great having time to ourselves.

Tom

Right? Absolutely, I just feel so relaxed. You know, clear-headed?

Maddie

Look at all these new interests we found.

Tom

I've got so many hobbies.

Maddie

So many!

Tom

After the action and adventure of the last few years, I could get used to this.

Maddie

Same.

Sonic

Tom, Maddie, we need your help on a super… Knuckles, do you mind?

Knuckles

Oh, excuse me. [turns around so Sonic faces Tom and Maddie]

Sonic

Tom, Maddie, we need your help on a super dangerous, top-secret mission!

Tom

Thank God.

Maddie

Let's go.

Tom

Yeah, we're in.

Tails

Really? You're in, just like that?

Tom

Yeah.

Maddie

Yes. It was getting so boring without you guys here.

Tom

So boring.

Maddie

No offense.

Tom

No, none taken. [to Team Sonic] I mean, whatever crazy plan you're cooking up, the answer's yes.

Maddie

Yes.

Sonic

Great! But first thing's first, what is that? [points to a ventriloquist puppet of Tom with Sergeant Sprinkles. Tom picks it up off the floor. Maddie is unamused.]

Tom

Oh, this is... [puts on a high-pitched voice] Little Tom! [in normal voice] Isn't he great?

Maddie

I told you to get rid of that. It's very creepy.

Tom

I told him to get rid of you. [in normal voice] Okay, that's going a bit too far...

Maddie

You're in so much trouble.

Tails

Okay, this is it, the belly of the beast: G.U.N. headquarters in London.

Maddie

Aw, Tom, we're finally gonna get to see London together...!

Tom

Hey, I told you we'd get there someday, baby.

Sonic

Okay, so here's the plan! I run in super fast, fly over that water, no problem, then right when I get to the-- [his hologram turns to ash upon running into G.U.N. HQ's shield, leaving only his shoes behind.] AAAH! What just happened?

Tails

Congratulations, you just got incinerated by their energy shield. We'll need to shut it down by planting a USB drive in their server room. That will give me full control over it. (re: Tom and Maddie) That's what we need you two for.

Tom

A couple bad-**** spies, that's what we are.

Maddie

Mr. and Mrs. Smith. [fist bumps Tom]

Tails

Once we disable the shield, you'll face... the laser hall. These high-density bad boys will cut you into tiny pieces. And cut those pieces into even tinier pieces.

Sonic

Once again... AAH! Can't we just get Tom Cruise to do this?

Tails

Nope, because not even he could break into... the vault.

Sonic

Why is it empty in there?

Tails

Because we have no idea what's on the other side of that door. To prevent the vault from ever being accessed by a ring, all images and schematics have been wiped from G.U.N.'s database. So, for the last leg of this heist...

Tom

We're goin' in blind. [off Maddie's look, quietly] Sorry.

Maddie

Okay, I'm just gonna say it. It sounds like this plan would work a heck of a lot better if Sonic used the Master Emerald to go golden god mode to get the key.

Sonic

No way, Maddie. The Master Emerald is too powerful to ever use again. We made a promise to each other to keep it hidden.

Tails

In a location only Knuckles knows.

Knuckles

As Guardian of the Master Emerald, anyone who tries to take it away for any reason will become a sworn enemy.

Maddie

Okay-okay, sheesh, no need to get all growly on me, buddy.

Sonic

You guys are always telling us to make good choices. Well, this is the right choice.

Tom

Okay! I guess we're going to...

Sonic

Guys? Are you ready for me yet? I've been waiting here all day.

Tails

Sonic, we literally just started! Tom, Maddie, are you in position and ready?

Tom

We were born ready.

Maddie

Let's do this.

Tails

Knuckles, how 'bout you?

Knuckles

I have taken my perch atop the giant clock. Now, where is this glass I'm supposed to break?

Sonic

Actually, Knucks, your job is to "break glass in case of emergency".

Knuckles

Understood. I will shatter this glass like the jaw of a vile foe.

Sonic

In case of emergency.

Knuckles

I will pulverize it like the skull of a loathsome rival!

Sonic

Just to be clear, the emergency is the important part.

Knuckles

The glass will beg for mercy under the shadow of my mighty fist!

Tom

Guys, remember, we're a team. Now, let's focus.

Maddie

Please!

Sonic

You know what? Let's move on.

Tails

All right, everyone knows what to do. Tom and Maddie, you guys plant the USB drive. I'll disable the traps. Sonic will snag the launch key. And Knuckles, you stand by to...

Knuckles

Break glass in case of emergency.

Sonic

See? He gets it.

Maddie

Then we're all set.

Tom

Hologram time. [hands her a Tails-made disguiser] You go first.

Maddie

Tom! It's me, Rachel. Can you believe it? We're both in London together!

Tom

Have you met your sister? Try again. Unless... you're not up for this mission? Yeah, maybe you wanna be back in Green Hills baking sourdough and--

Maddie

Thomas Michael Wachowski! You brought aliens to my wedding, punched up my husband, and buried me in an avalanche. Your day of reckoning is at hand! (Better?)

Tom

Yeah, that's perfect. [after being let go] Okay, now for her better half. [clicks his disguiser, turning into Randall Handel and admires the size of his own arms] Hoo-hoo, my name is Randall, and I am too much to "Handel". [flexes] Welcome to the gun show! ["Rachel" nods along] Baby, would you describe me as jacked, juiced or shredded?

Maddie

I would describe your head as swollen. Let's get to work.

Tom

Agent Randall Handel. I'm here to have lunch with my lovely wife Rachel.

Oh, I'm sorry, Agent Handel, this facility's currently locked down. Command-level clearance only.

Tom

One minute. [turns away, whispering into her comm] Tails, we have a problem here.

Tails

They must've tightened security after Shadow's escape.

Maddie

I got this. [to the front desk agent] You must be new here. Allow me to introduce myself. My name is Rachel... Rachel Gonna-Get-You-Fired. Do you know what G.U.N. stands for?

Of course. Guardian Units--

Maddie

Gettin'. Ultra. Nasty. Do you want me… to get ultra nasty?! Nasty-nasty?!?

No, ma'am.

Maddie

Okay, then. Then go take those little sad fingers and start tippity type-type-typin'! [the front desk agent starts typing on the computer] Mmm-hmm. That's right, go on.

Sorry for the inconvenience, ma'am.

Maddie

Mmm-hmm... That's what I thought! [passing through] My God, I love being Rachel!

Tails

It didn't work.

Sonic

Did you put in the right way?

Knuckles

Try punching it!

Tails

Do not try punching it!

Tom

Ah! Take it out and blow on it.

Maddie

Yes!

Tails

Oh, come on, Tom. [Tom blows into the drive a couple times, letting Maddie have a turn, too.] There's absolutely no scientific evidence to support-- [Tom puts the drive back in. The server room's lights turn yellow.] Never mind, it worked!

Tom

A little trick from the 90s.

Maddie

The best decade ever, right? [high-fives Tom]

Tails

The Robotniks are almost at the vault!

Sonic

We're outta time. I'm going.

Tails

No, Sonic! I haven't disabled the traps yet!

Sonic

Too late! [hits the ground running] Look at me, I'm running on the wrong side of the road! [as the force field around G.U.N. HQ begins to build, Sonic, (de)touring London faster than the eye can see, dashes past Trafalgar Square] Oh, I gotta take in the sights. [He recreates the Beatles' album cover with his afterimages at Abbey Road...] Paul, John, George, the other one! [...spins up the Shaftesbury Memorial Fountain at Piccadilly Circus...] Loud American coming through! [...runs through Buckingham Palace one room at a time...] 'Scuse me! Pardon me! 'Ello, guv'nor! Which way to Hogwarts? [...comes out with a king's crown, coat, and scepter, along with a teacup...] Hear ye, hear ye, Sonic the Hedgehog wants a cuppa tea! [...and leaves them on an unsuspecting King's guardsman...] Hold this for me, please. [...before finally heading for G.U.N. HQ.]

Tails

You're not gonna make it!

Sonic

I can make it. [boosts forward and speeds up along the Tower Bridge, launching high in the sky.]

Knuckles

You're not going to make it!

Sonic

I can make it! [dives toward G.U.N. HQ, almost fully shielded] I'm not gonna make it. I'M NOT GONNA MAKE IT! [Suddenly, Tails flies in, spinning Sonic around and throwing him through the shield before it closes.] Made it!

Tails

Woo!

Sonic

Excuse me, comin' through! No time for autographs, gotta go, bye!

Tails

It'll be okay, Sonic.

Sonic

It'll be okay? Tom is fighting for his life, and you think it'll be okay?

Knuckles

The fox is simply trying to comfort you.

Sonic

Comfort's not what I need right now. I need to stop them. By any means necessary.

Tails

Wait, you don't mean...?

Sonic

The Master Emerald.

Knuckles

The emerald must never be wielded for vengeance. Not ever. We swore a sacred oath.

Sonic

Don't talk to me about oaths, not now.

Tails

But you told Tom using the emerald wasn't the right choice.

Sonic

Well, now it's the only choice! And if neither of you have the guts to help me, then I'll do it alone.

Tails

But I thought the three of us were a team! I thought that's what made us special!

Sonic

I'm not asking you twice, Knuckles. [powers his fists] Where is the Master Emerald?!

Knuckles

Your heart is being consumed by anger, hedgehog. You are in no condition to make decisions right now.

Tails

I know you're upset about Tom. We all are!

Sonic

Last chance. Where... [his eyes glow blue with rage] is it?!

Knuckles

Don't do this. [then hesitantly calms down a moment later] Part of our oath is to trust each other, and I must abide by that promise even if you have chosen to break it. But heed this warning. The Master Emerald is guarded by a fearsome warrior, and to seize this ultimate power, you will have to go… through him.

Ivo

Please, Grampsy! Don't do this.

Gerald

Sorry, kiddo. "Bring Your Grandkid to Work Day" is over. [opens the hatch, causing Ivo to hold on for dear life] Any last words?

Ivo

Just... one thing... that I never thought I’d say.

Gerald

What is it? [mockingly] "I love you"?

Ivo

No. It was something even better, but I'm not gonna say it if that's the way you're gonna be!

Gerald

'Kay. Bye.

Ivo

AAAAAAAAAAHHH!

Gerald

Grandchildren. All the fun and none of the responsibility.

Ivo

Who said life was pointless?

Gerald

Huh?

Ivo

Oh, right. You did. [uses the quill to zap Gerald behind, sending him flying into the energy field, disintegrating and killing him instantly]

Gerald

AAH!

Tails

Whoo-hoo!

Knuckles

Victory!

Ivo

Say what you want about my granddad... He made one hell of a bug zapper. [blows on the quill and tosses it aside]

Tails

We've gotta stop that laser!

Ivo

I knew there was something I was forgetting.

Tails

Sonic, look. [they look and saw the explosion up in the sky] Shadow and Robotnik. They sacrificed themselves to save everyone.

Sonic

You always have a choice. Guys, I'm really sorry for running off like that. I shouldn't have left you behind. The truth is... you're the best teammates a hedgehog could ever ask for. And the best friends. Can you ever forgive me? [Knuckles ponders for a moment before raising his fist up for a fist-bump]

Knuckles

Team Sonic?

Sonic

How about just "team"?
[the three all hug together]

Sonic
