Shadow the Hedgehog
You're a colorful bunch. [Sonic: Uh, excuse me. Why do you look like me?] 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?!] This is a waste of time. Walk away, before you get hurt.
Shadow the Hedgehog
You jumped out of a G.U.N. helicopter. There's nothing to talk about. [walks away]
Shadow the Hedgehog
Don't try to follow me. [drives off on his motorcycle]
Shadow the Hedgehog
[to Sonic]
The more you talk, the harder I want to hit you!
Shadow the Hedgehog
[to Maria]
I don't know what I'd do without you. [smiles warmly]
Shadow the Hedgehog
I'm tired of giving you warnings.
Shadow the Hedgehog
I've spent fifty years reliving what they did to her. This IS who I am inside.
Shadow the Hedgehog
[watching a scene from La Ultima Passion]
Gabriella should kill them both. She's not a prize to be won.
Shadow the Hedgehog
When we're done, there won't be anything left to rule. [Stone: That is dark.]
Shadow the Hedgehog
You were right about one thing: this ends now. [punches Sonic]
Shadow the Hedgehog
Go ahead, finish it! What are you waiting for?! Do it! I'm right here! [Sonic: [after remembering Tom's words from earlier, he decides to spare Shadow as he looked at his hands with remorse] This is not who I am.] What are you doing? You won. Take your revenge. [Sonic: There are no winners with revenge.]
Shadow the Hedgehog
The light shines, even though the star is gone.
Shadow the Hedgehog
So, this was your plan? [Sonic: [grunts] Would someone mind shutting down the giant death ray?!]
Shadow the Hedgehog
I don't know anything about my home. [Maria: This is your home, Shadow. Earth.]

2024? I've been trapped for 50 years? [soon finds himself surrounded by G.U.N. soldiers]
G.U.N. Soldier
[via megaphone]
We've got you surrounded!
Shadow
Why... won't you leave me... ALONE?!
G.U.N. Soldier
Take him down!
[the soldiers point their guns at Shadow, who charges up his power in response.]
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
[Suddenly, a G.U.N. humvee is chucked their way]
Look out!
Knuckles
[Sonic and Tails brace for impact, but Knuckles steps in and catches the humvee, holding it up with one hand]
1,000,000%. [winks and tosses the humvee aside]
Sonic
[an ominous silhouette looms above in the smoke. Hearing footsteps, the team witnesses Shadow walking up a mound of fiery debris]
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
[jumping after Shadow]
Let us talk with our fists!
Knuckles
[However, Shadow teleports to Knuckles, shocking him. He grabs Knuckles' fist and twists it.] [in pain]
AHHHH!!!
Sonic and Tails
[Knuckles shouts in pain, then Shadow kicks him upward, teleports, and kicks him again, repeating the combo before kicking him back down. Knuckles bounces off the pavement and crashes into a nearby store]
Knuckles! [they run over to help him up]
Sonic
Knuckles, are you okay?
Knuckles
No, not really, ow...!
Tails
[Shadow teleports down to their level]
Who is this guy?
Knuckles
[as he and his friends get into fighting stances]
He's much more impressive than the hedgehog I fought previously.
Sonic
[annoyed]
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
[walking past]
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
[Shadow drives off while Sonic gets back up]
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]
Maria
[In 1974, Maria and Shadow lie side by side in a field of flowers over the military base, gazing up at the stars in the night sky.]
Wow. Look at all those stars. They're like diamonds. My grandfather says it can take hundreds of years for the light of a star to reach Earth, and by the time you see it, the star might not even exist anymore. Isn't that crazy?
Shadow
The light shines... even though the star is gone.
Maria
Yeah, it does. I wonder which one you came from, Shadow.
Shadow
I don't know. I don't know anything about my home.
Maria
This is your home, Shadow. Earth.
Shadow
[sits up]
Maria, do you think I'm... dangerous?
Maria
[also sits up]
What are you talking about?
Shadow
The way the scientists look at me, I can tell they're afraid. Like I'm the horrible thing from that movie we watched. I don't know... what I am.
Maria
You're my friend. And you can do or be anything you want. Not because of your powers, but because of who you are... in here. [points at Shadow's chest]
Shadow
I don't know what I'd do without you. [smiles at Maria]
[Maria smiles and holds Shadow's hand. They resume stargazing, with "End of the Line" starting up again. They share a brief look, smiling.]
[In the present, Maria's record player abruptly scratches to a stop. After a moment, Shadow goes on to find his old capsule, now broken. He gazes into the glass from the outside and places his palm against it, just like Maria did when they first met, but sadly this time instead of happily. Suddenly, he hears footsteps, turning around and charging his fist with Chaos energy until he recognizes the figure, whose face is shrouded from the audience.]
Shadow
Professor?
Professor
It's good to see you, Shadow. I knew you'd come home.
Shadow
I can't get her out of my head. The pain... It's too much.
Professor
And that is why we have to punish them.
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
[Knuckles screams in fright. Meanwhile, with Tails and 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
[stammering, nervously chuckling]
Of course, yes! Me and the doctor, best of friends! [looks away, sadly] That's definitely what we are.
Stone and Tails
[Then they hear something suspicious, finding a rat, which scurries by. Behind them in the dark, Shadow floats down, his red eyes glowing in the dark. Stone and Tails turn around, and spot him, then scream]
AAAH!!!!
Sonic
[Sonic and Ivo investigate a room housing Maria's old tent.]
Whoa, look at all this stuff. This was more than just a military base or a lab. It was a home. People lived here. [finds a framed photo of Shadow and Maria with the glass broken] He had a family.
Ivo
Is that what I smell? The stench of domestic harmony?
Sonic
You ever wonder what your life would've been like if you had a family?
Ivo
Hm... no.
Sonic
Maybe you wouldn't have gone full supervillain.
Ivo
I have no parents, no aunts, no uncles, and something about my attitude renders me... [looks at his reflection] ...undesirable to all possible genders. [Sonic follows a trail of footprints leading into the next room while Robotnik continues.] My future is a cul-de-sac. The Robotnik name ends... [pulls out Sonic's quill] ...avec moi. Yes, I know French. [shocks his tongue again]
Sonic
[Sonic's attention is diverted as he enters the adjacent lab housing Shadow's old capsule.]
Whoa, is this where you grew up, Shadow? No wonder you're so mad. This place could really use a beanbag chair and some comic books. What happened here?
Shadow
[As Sonic inspects the capsule, Shadow suddenly teleports in and smashes Sonic's head against it, cracking the glass even more.]
I'm tired of giving you warnings! [throws Sonic against the lab's machinery and charges a Chaos energy-infused punch, knocking Sonic out again.]
Sonic
AH!
Ivo
Where'd you go, hedgehog? I wasn't finished trauma-dumping. [looks around the room, he finds his drones neatly stacked and inactive.] My... darlings! [hugs his drones] My eggy-weggies!
Professor
[Then the door to the room creaks open, and the Professor slowly enters, singing Barbara Streisand's "The Way We Were".]
♪ Memories... light the corners of my mind... misty watercolor memories... ♪ [walks into view, Ivo discovers that he bears a striking resemblance to him.] ♪ ...of the way we were... n't! ♪
Ivo
I... don't believe it.
Professor
Don't you?
Ivo
It's impossible.
Professor
Is it?
Ivo
It couldn't be.
Professor
Couldn't it?
Ivo
I'm...
Professor
Are you?
Ivo
Imposter! You stole my babies! [activates his drones via his glove] They know who their real daddy is, drone-napper!
Professor
[laughs]
Magnificent creations, my boy. I borrowed them to lure you here and reunite our family. You see, Ivo. [removes glasses] I'm your grandfather: Gerald Robotnik.
Ivo
My... grandfather? But how? And why? And who did what with whom?!
Professor Gerald Robotnik
You hail from an ancestry of excellence, tied directly à moi. Yes, I know French.
Ivo
[closely inspecting]
You do look like me. But fatter, and older. And there's that funny smell. But the resemblance is uncanny. It's as if...
Both
We're two characters in a movie [slowly turning to the camera] being played by the same actor!
Ivo
But I need real proof!
Gerald
Ivo! We have very little time. [commands a drone via his glove to shoot at Gerald's feet. Gerald hops over the bullet and immediately reconsiders] But I could field a couple of queries.
Ivo
[Ivo starts walking around Gerald and quizzing him.]
Name the most elegant formula in mathematics.
Gerald
Euler's identity: e to the i times pi plus one equals zilch.
Ivo
European capitals arranged alphabetically by the fourth letter.
Gerald
[yawns]
Riga, Monaco, Sarajevo, Tirana.
Ivo
The speed of light divided by the speed of sound divided by the speed of the bus in the movie Speed.
Gerald
[mimics calculator beeps]
17,893.33333...
Ivo
Rounding up.
Gerald
17,893 mph.
Ivo
And, for all the marbles...
Gerald
Good, I lost mine.
Ivo
A rare lung disease, and the longest word in the English dictionary.
Gerald
Em...
Both
Pneumonoultramicroscopicsilicovolcanoconiosis!
Ivo
[whispering in shock]
Pop-Pop?
Gerald
In the saggy flesh. But lookin' pretty good for 110. [shocks his tongue on Shadow's quill]
Ivo
[tearfully overjoyed]
Oh, Grampy-poo! [hugs Gerald] Where have you been my entire life? [pulls back] Wait. [angrily] Where have you been... my ENTIRE LIFE?!
Gerald
Locked in a top-secret prison for the last 50 years. Made it kinda hard to send Christmas cards. Now, you're probably wondering why I brought you here.
Ivo
You didn't bring me here. I used my unparalleled intellect to track you down.
Gerald
Per the plan I concocted with my unparalleled intellect. You'll see. I have the answer to everything. C'mon, kiddo.
[Ivo follows Gerald with a skip in his step. Behind them, the drones form hearts in their optics.]
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
[to Gerald]
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
[Sonic redirects his attention to Gerald just as Tails and Knuckles regain consciousness.]
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
[reaches his hand out]
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
[Ivo's crab mech floats down into the chamber.]
Holy crab!
Stone
Spacious and crustaceous.
Ivo
[to Team Sonic]
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
[A piece of debris knocks loose the pillar that the team is chained to, and they start being pulled in.]
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
[manages to grab a ring from Tails' backpack]
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.
Ivo
[rises out of a manhole, joining Shadow, Stone, and Gerald in an alley as "London Town" by Giggs and Mr. Eazi plays. The G.U.N. headquarters sits across the Thames.]
London, baby!
Shadow
[to Gerald]
G.U.N. headquarters is right there! Let me go in, get the key, and destroy anyone in my way! I want revenge!
Gerald
Patience, Shadow. Just let us handle this. And I promise, you'll have revenge... on a scale you can't possibly imagine.
Ivo
C'mon, granddaddio, we've got... dirt to do! [to Stone] Suits.
Stone
Right here, sir. [presents a briefcase with two suits]
Ivo
Stone, babysit the hedgehog. Keep the crab on a low boil. [to Gerald] It's time for more family bonding. [takes the suitcase, joins Gerald]
Stone
C'mon, Shadow. Got fresh avocados in the crab. We'll make guac. [goes down the manhole]
Shadow
[100% serious]
Revenge guac!
TV Announcer
[Ivo's crab waits in the sewers. A familiar soap opera plays inside.]
And now back to... La Última Pasión.
Gabriella
Última Pasión can only belong to one.
Juan
No... it can only belong... to Juan!
Shadow
[reveals Shadow watching the show (and making memes come true) while Stone whips up some guac.]
Gabriella should kill them both. She's not a prize to be won.
Stone
Kill this, murder that... You need to lighten up, Shadow. We're about to rule the world.
Shadow
When we're done, there won't be anything left to rule.
Stone
That is dark, even for you. What are you and the professor up to?
Rockwell
[As Rockwell hurries rounds a corner with the second key, she sees Tom (disgusted as Walters) with a cast down the hall, much to her surprise]
Commander Walters, sir. You're...
"Walters"
Still alive? I'll die before I let that key fall into the wrong hands. [Rockwell walks up] Thanks for keeping it safe. I'll take from here.
"Walters"
[Rockwell instinctively feels that something seems off...]
That's an order, Director Rockwell. [...but she can't refuse handing him the key] Now, organize the reinforcements.
Rockwell
Yes, sir. [marches off]
Tom
[exits the corridor, clicks his disguiser and briefly changes to normal to radio the others with his real voice]
Guys, guys, I got the key. I repeat, I got the key. Now, let's get outta here. [changes back into Walters, but suddenly Shadow crashes down from the ceiling]
Shadow
[vengefully]
Commander Walters!
Tom
No, no, no, wait!
Shadow
[Shadow teleports and delivers a Chaos energy-infused punch, knocking Tom unconscious. As Shadow takes the dropped second key, the disguiser deactivates and changes Tom back, much to Shadow's confusion]
What?
Sonic
[running in]
Tom, everyone's clear! Come on, let's go! [sees Shadow] You. What are you...? [sees an unconscious Tom] Tom! [runs over to Tom on the floor, trying to wake him up; voice breaking] Tom, what happened? Speak to me, come on. Come on, come on, come on, it's going to be okay. Please, please, please, get up. Come on, please, wake up. Wake up, wake up, wake up, come on. Wake up, wake up, wake up, wake up!
Shadow
[watches, reminded of when he was in the same position as Maria after she was killed by the explosion; in a flashback]
Maria...
Sonic
[to Shadow; angrily]
What did you do?!
Shadow
[looks at the key, remembers the mission, and steels himself]
What I had to. [teleports away as Maddie, Tails, and Knuckles run inside]
Maddie
Oh, my God, Tom! [the trio heads over to Tom's unconscious body]
Ivo
[along with Gerald watching Shadow running at super-speed around the Cannon's core.]
Excuse me, Grampasadoble. What is that thermonuclear gerbil doing?
Gerald
Infusing the core with Chaos Energy. That's my little secret: the Eclipse Cannon is about to turn this planet into a flaming pile of rubble, wiping out everything in a 25,000-mile radius... including us.
Ivo
WHAT?! [laughing incredulously] We can't annihilate the Earth! By combining our genius, we can rule humanity. Together!
Gerald
Humanity is a failed experiment. If anyone should know that, it's you. All your life, you've been rejected by this world. You have nothing down there... no one who cares about you.
Ivo
But I have you now. We're family... we have each other.
Gerald
[coldly]
Oh, Ivo... you're no Maria. The moment I lost her, my family was gone forever. The only way to give Maria's life meaning is to destroy the world that took her from me... so I'm BURNING IT ALL DOWN!
Shadow
[teleports back down]
It's done.
Gerald
Good work, Shadow. I'm prepping the firing sequence. [flicks a switch] The weapon will be fully charged in ten minutes.
Shadow
[puts his hand to the window, and looks out at Earth below]
It's almost finished, Maria. You will have justice. [then notices a golden light flying up from the planet]
Gerald
What is that?
Shadow
Is G.U.N. launching missiles at us?
Gerald
Impossible. It's moving too fast.
Ivo
[takes out Sonic's quill, which changes from blue to gold before his eyes; realizing]
It's him.
Super Sonic
[The light, revealing to be Super Sonic, blitzes Shadow straight out of the Eclipse Cannon, leaving a hole in the glass window. A metal door seals the hole before the Robotniks can be pulled into space.] [enraged]
YOU'VE HURT MY FAMILY! THIS ENDS NOW!
Shadow
Now you know my anger. The pain I felt for fifty years! And you’ve made the same choice I did.
Super Sonic
I'M NOTHING LIKE YOU!
Shadow
We'll see.
Super Sonic
[Super Sonic and Shadow re-enter the atmosphere and crash-land in a volcanic region, creating a crater upon impact. Once the dust clears, Super Sonic notices that Shadow has vanished.]
SHOW YOURSELF, COWARD!
[Shadow shows himself behind Super Sonic and knocks the Chaos Emeralds out of him, reverting Sonic to his base form. They see the Emeralds falling in the air and both make a mad dash for them at the same time. A pillar of golden light shoots up from the Emeralds, and when it leaves, Sonic sees that he has regained his Super form... but Shadow has also gained his for the first time, his limiter rings glowing with power and his fur whitish gold. Super Sonic tries to punch Super Shadow, but the latter effortlessly blocks, the impact causing the earth to crack beneath their feet.]
Super Shadow
You were right about one thing... This ends NOW.
Gerald
[Super Shadow strikes back at Super Sonic, and an epic battle between the two enraged, godlike hedgehogs begins. The Robotniks watch the fight unfold around the world from the Eclipse Cannon.]
What's happening? Where are they?
Ivo
[points up]
Up there.
Gerald
[looks up]
Where?
Ivo
Higher.
Gerald
[looks higher]
Hmm?
Gerald
[Ivo chops Gerald in the neck, causing the latter to fall in pain]
Ah!
Ivo
Left yourself open. [runs for the Cannon's controls]
Gerald
[enraged; as Ivo betrays him]
Ivo! What are you doing?!
Ivo
Thwarting your evil plan!
Both
[Gerald catches up to him with a nano jetpack. Both Robotniks begin fighting each other, and they start by grabbing each other's mustaches.] [screaming]
WHOA-WHOA-WHOA-WHOA-WHOA-WHOA! OW-OW-OW-OW-OW-OW!
Ivo
Not the mustache!
Gerald
Agreed!
Ivo
Let go on three. One, two, three! [they both let go and shake their mustaches before Gerald creates a giant fist out of nanobots] Ooooh... A nanofist. I haven't seen that since I hate-watched Green Lantern in 2011!
Gerald
I was saving it for Comic-Con. But now there won't be a Comic-Con! [slaps Ivo which sends him flying]
Super Shadow
[Super Sonic and Super Shadow continue their fight all the way to Greece. Super Shadow teleports behind Super Sonic and kicks him down into the Parthenon]
Why are you alone? Where are your friends? [Super Sonic merely grunts in pain.] They tried to stop you, didn't they? But you came anyway. Your anger was too much. What kind of hero abandons his friends to pursue revenge? Abandons his family?
Super Sonic
Don't you dare talk about my family!
Super Shadow
And here I thought you cared for them. Especially the one... What's his name? Tom?
Super Sonic
HYNAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHH!!!!!
Shadow
[With rage boiling over, Super Sonic punches Super Shadow so hard that he sends him flying out of Earth and straight to the moon, knocking him out of his Super form. Super Sonic charges after him, grabs him by the chest fur, and poises his fist to deliver the final blow.]
Go ahead! Finish it! [Super Sonic pants heavily and prepares to hit, but hesitates] What are you waiting for?! Do it! [points at his heart] I’m right here!
Tom
[Super Sonic's eyes widen, remembering Tom's words in the old cave]
You didn't let your pain change who you are... [points at Sonic's heart] in here.
Super Sonic
[calms down and lets Shadow go, looking at himself with remorse]
This is not who I am.
Shadow
What are you doing? You won. Take your revenge.
Sonic
[reverts to base form, sits down sadly]
There are no winners with revenge.
Maria
[The two hedgehogs sit in somber silence. Shadow looks up at the stars.] [echoing in Shadow's mind]
Wow. Look at all those stars. They're like diamonds.
Shadow
The last time I sat beneath stars like this, I was with her. I've felt this pain for so long, it's all I know.
Sonic
When I lost Longclaw, I felt the same way.
Shadow
Did your pain eventually go away?
Sonic
No. But in time, I learned there's something more powerful than pain. The love we felt for each other. That's what you need to hold on to, Shadow. Maria might be gone, but your love will always remain.
Shadow
[at that moment, the sun peaks out from behind Earth, illuminating them both]
The light shines, even though the star is gone. [Sonic sees Shadow's understanding, along with the Eclipse Cannon still looming over the planet in the distance] This whole mess is my fault. I've been so blinded by rage, I thought... I had no choice.
Sonic
[stands up, offers his hand]
You always have a choice. [Shadow thinks for a second, then takes Sonic's hand and gets back up] Making the right one is never easy. One more thing I learned, is that when you really screw something up... you can't fix it on your own.
Super Sonic
[As a familiar tune begins to play, Shadow smiles for the first time in fifty years. The two hedgehogs transform into their Super forms once more, preparing for the final battle.]
Gotta go fast!
Super Shadow
Don't tell me you've got a catchphrase.
Super Sonic
That's right, new hedgehog, and everyone loves it!
Gerald
[at long last, the vocals of Crush 40's "Live and Learn" kick in, and Super Sonic and Super Shadow launch off the moon together toward the Eclipse Cannon] [spanking Ivo with his nanofist]
I... will... not... try... to stop... my... elders... from... destroying... the... world!
[Ivo makes a nano drill and drives it into Gerald's foot, who shouts in pain and relents, so Ivo rolls away and gets to his feet] Playtime is over! [makes a pair of nano scorpion pincers and a tail, the latter destroying the Eclipse Cannon controls]
Gerald
There's no going back now!
Ivo
[to his glove]
Set up defense. [accidentally makes a fence] Damn you, autocorrect! [Gerald lunges to attack with his pincers; to his glove] Mantis. [makes a pair of mantis blades, hovering around Gerald's next attack via mantis wings.] I'm right here, arach-nerd. [Gerald lunges again, but Ivo catches his pincer with one mantis blade and slices off part of his mustache with the other.] Hahahahaaa! That's what I call "mantiscaping".
Gerald
[furious]
That's ELDER ABUSE!
Computer
[He prepares his pincers for another attack, only to spin around and whip Ivo off the platform with his scorpion tail. Ivo hangs on the edge, but before Gerald can finish him off, the Eclipse Cannon's alarm and computer voice divert his attention.] [repeating]
Alert.
Gerald
[retracts his nano weapons and sees Super Sonic and Super Shadow on the monitor]
Shadow, I see you've chosen betrayal. And you were once so useful to me.
Super Sonic
Ready to recycle some tin cans?
Super Shadow
Just try to keep up.
Super Shadow
We're out of time! The cannon is about to fire! Where are you?
Super Sonic
Oh, you know, just makin' friends. [flies in Super Shadow's direction, the last of the G.U.N. hunters rounded up and chasing him.] They're all yours! [Super Shadow unleashes dozens of Chaos Spears and destroys the Hunters. Now unimpeded, the two hedgehogs head for the Eclipse Cannon.] Follow me! [they enter the Eclipse Cannon's line of fire just as the timer reaches zero.] Now, this might hurt a little!
Super Shadow
[The Eclipse Cannon fires, but they struggle to block the beam with Super Sonic's energy.]
So, this was your plan?!
Super Sonic
[grunts]
Would someone mind shutting down the giant death ray?!
