Maddie
What did we do?
Tom
Or what did they do?
Tails
[to Sonic]
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
[Team Sonic boards the helicopter. Sonic waves goodbye to his family as they take off]
Remember... make good choices!
[Tom gives a thumbs up, and Ozzy waves goodbye]
Maddie
[Tom and Maddie lift their disguises and find the door to the server room. Maddie then disguises herself as Rockwell.]
Did it work?
Tom
[admiring]
Yeah... [Maddie smacks him] Ow!
Maddie
[inputs a code at the door and speaks into the intercom.]
Director Rockwell. Seeking access to the server room.
Agent's Voice: Just one moment, ma'am.
Tom
[Just as Tom and Maddie exchange smiles at their success, Tom sees something concerning down the hall.]
Oh, no. No-no-no-no. It's her, it's her, it's the real her...!
Rockwell
[Maddie turns around and sees the real Rockwell with a few soldiers walking their way.]
...the incident in Colorado.
GU G.U.N. Soldier
Still assessing.
Rockwell
What do you mean we're still assessing?
Tom
What do we do?
Maddie
[lifting her disguise]
Quick, change faces!
Tom
Okay. [frantically clicks his disguiser, but it instead cartoonishly distorts his face and voice with each click.] Did it work? [off Maddie's weirded out look] What's going on? Why're you looking at me like that?
[the disguiser changes Tom's face to Sergeant Sprinkles, then the head of Little Tom] What am I doin' wrong? [the disguiser then changes Tom's face to Ozzy's. Maddie chops the disguiser, changing Tom into Randall again just before Rockwell and the soldiers approach. "Randall" salutes while Maddie turns away and pretends to look occupied.]
Tom
Aye-aye, Captain!
Maddie
[Rockwell simply gives Tom a look and walks away with the soldiers without breaking stride.]
"Aye-aye, Captain"?! Who are you, Popeye (or what)?!
Tom
[lifting his disguise]
I panicked! I was panicking.
Maddie
Geez! Get it together.
[The door to the server room finally opens.]
Ivo
Our destiny awaits.
Sonic
Stop right there, robo-scum!
Ivo
Let's do this...!
Gerald
Copy!
Sonic
[The Robotniks run into the vault, but a couple floor panels turn red and pull them to the floor.]
Too slow, Eggmen. Now if you don't mind, I gotta get that key-- [another floor panel turns green, suspending him off the ground] Whoa! My feet! Why can't I use my beautiful feet?
Rockwell
Because... [walks in, holding the controls] this vault is armed with variable gravity.
Gerald
No kidding?
Rockwell
Green goes up, and red takes you down, hard.
Sonic
Rockwell, listen to me. The Robotniks are planning to--
Rockwell
[spitefully flicks Sonic]
Oh, they're planning on stealing the second key, just like you are? Yes, I'm aware. [pulls the key] I called it the second Commander Walters was attacked, so... thank you for taking the bait and falling right into my trap.
Ivo
I don't believe this.
Gerald
I know, grandson. A woman in the military.
Tom
[G.U.N. soldiers bring Tom, Maddie, and Tails into the vault. They find Sonic and the Robotniks trapped by Rockwell and the vault's variable gravity.]
Robotnik. Goin' full spandex, huh? (re: Gerald) Who's the fossil?
Ivo
That's my grandfather, you dough-eating dim-becile!
Gerald
(re: Tom and Maddie)
Who are they?
Ivo
A couple of bleeding hearts, here to rescue their emotional support animals.
Rockwell
Enough! It's over. The only way you're leaving here is in handcuffs. There is no other way out.
Sonic
You know, there might be one other way out.
Rockwell
And what is that supposed to mean?
Sonic
[on Knuckles' comm]
Hey, big guy, I think it's time to...
Knuckles
[launches off the face of Big Ben, propelled forward by the Flames of Disaster]
Break glass in case of emergency! [glides straight through G.U.N. HQ's energy shield and breaks into the vault, roaring and slamming his flaming fist down against the floor. The resulting shockwave blasts Rockwell back, and Knuckles snags the vault's gravity controls from her.] Ha! Nothing can stop Team Knuckles!
Rockwell
Open fire!
Sonic
[The soldiers obey, firing on Sonic, who frantically flips over their shots.]
Knuckles, turn this stuff off! Hurry!
Knuckles
[thumbs up]
On it! [smashes the controls with his fist. The controls turn all red, forming an X-eyed frowny face] Uh-oh.
[Tails facepalms as the vault's gravity goes haywire, randomly sending soldiers up and down.]
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...
W "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.
W "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]
