Are you guys finished yet? This is taking for-ev-er! [does the Sonic Unleashed E-Rank emote, falling to his knees and slamming the capsule with his fist, accidentally getting the attention of the people inside.] Uh-oh.
Has the time come to break the glass? Or at least break something.
Oh, no. Someone tell me this is some kind of concussion-induced nightmare. There's TWO Eggmen now?!
Double your villains, double your fun!
Two Robotniks are way worse than one!
Chest bump? No. [to Stone] Stone, why are you tied up? Do that on your own time. You sicken me.
You must be the long-lost grandson.
And you must be another stinking hedgehog.
So, you're the one behind all this? The Shadow breakout.
The attack on Walters!
That musty old man smell?
How dare you insult me with your unsolicited exposition! Shadow, get the key.
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.
G.U.N. took everything from us. And now we are going to take everything from them.
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!
But firing a weapon that powerful could threaten millions of innocent lives!
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.
I'm in.
Spacious and crustaceous.
Thank you so much for inspiring this little adventure. It really worked out for me.
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.
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]
Uh, nice magic marble. Real scary. [The orb unleashes a vortex, absorbing the base's ruins.] Aah! That actually is real scary!
It's a mini black hole! It's going to suck in all the matter in this base!
Fear not, friends! Even my teeth are muscles! [bites down on a loose cable, keeping the team from being absorbed]
Sonic, try to reach one of my rings!
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.
Thanks for the surprise party. It really means a lot to me.
Ah, you deserve it, pal.
Yep, my old cave.
Oh, man, I can't believe this is where you lived all those years.
Heh-hey! My state-of-the-art security system! [flails them around and hits himself, again like in the first film] Still works.
Hey, bud. what's this? [finds a drawing of young Sonic and Longclaw]
Wow. You know, I drew that on my first night on Earth. I wanted to remember where I came from. I still miss her. You think Longclaw would be proud of me?
I know she would, pal. Because even though you lost her at such a young age, you didn't let your pain change who you are... in here. [points at Sonic's chest]
Yeah, in my lungs.
Heart, right. Yeah, makes more sense. Not lungs, heart.
That's the thing about life, Sonic, it's all about the choices we make. You're gonna make some good ones, and... knowing you, you're gonna make some bad ones. [Sonic innocuously rolls his eyes] But, as long as you remember to listen to your heart, you're gonna make the right choice when it matters the most.
Thanks. I don't know what I'd do without you. [cut to Shadow miserably marching in the rain in Tokyo] I'd probably be a totally different hedgehog.
Ugh. 1.21 gigawatts. [sees the handcuffs shackling him to a railing] Oh, you've gotta be kidding me.
I'm fine, guys. And before you ask me, I handcuffed myself for tactical reasons that I do not have time to explain.
You shouldn't have gone off on your own. We're supposed to be a team.
Sorry, buddy. I'm still working on this teamwork thing.
So, now what?
Well, I'm not jumping out of any more helicopters until we get some answers from G.U.N. We need somewhere to regroup.
I know just the place!
Doctor, we have visitors.
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!
Sorry, sir.
I don't believe it. Eggman's alive?
And he's never looked... worse.
Well, maybe this is what "not giving a **** what you think I look like" looks like.
Sir, right now, we have an even bigger problem.
Oh, come on...
There's an imposter out there, using your technology.
"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.
Sonic, I hate to say it, but I think we're both after the same person.
Hold on, hold on. You're not suggesting we team up with Doctor Ro-butt-stink, are you?
Perhaps the fox is right. It could be our only chance to find this mysterious, more impressive hedgehog.
On one condition. [holds out his hand, gesturing Sonic to give him something]
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.]
Let's… [grabs Stone, shouting in his face] …do this!
We're out of time! The cannon is about to fire! Where are you?
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!
So, this was your plan?!
Would someone mind shutting down the giant death ray?!
Ready to recycle some tin cans?
Just try to keep up.
It didn't work.
Did you put in the right way?
Try punching it!
Do not try punching it!
Ah! Take it out and blow on it.
Yes!
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!
A little trick from the 90s.
The best decade ever, right? [high-fives Tom]
It'll be okay, Sonic.
It'll be okay? Tom is fighting for his life, and you think it'll be okay?
The fox is simply trying to comfort you.
Comfort's not what I need right now. I need to stop them. By any means necessary.
Wait, you don't mean...?
The Master Emerald.
The emerald must never be wielded for vengeance. Not ever. We swore a sacred oath.
Don't talk to me about oaths, not now.
But you told Tom using the emerald wasn't the right choice.
Well, now it's the only choice! And if neither of you have the guts to help me, then I'll do it alone.
But I thought the three of us were a team! I thought that's what made us special!
I'm not asking you twice, Knuckles. [powers his fists] Where is the Master Emerald?!
Your heart is being consumed by anger, hedgehog. You are in no condition to make decisions right now.
I know you're upset about Tom. We all are!
Last chance. Where... [his eyes glow blue with rage] is it?!
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.
Sonic, look. [they look and saw the explosion up in the sky] Shadow and Robotnik. They sacrificed themselves to save everyone.
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]
Team Sonic?
The Robotniks are almost at the vault!
We're outta time. I'm going.
No, Sonic! I haven't disabled the traps yet!
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.]
You're not gonna make it!
I can make it. [boosts forward and speeds up along the Tower Bridge, launching high in the sky.]
You're not going to make it!
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!
Woo!
Excuse me, comin' through! No time for autographs, gotta go, bye!
Oh, yes! You got donuts.
I already ate all the Boston Cream.
Kyle!
This place gives me the creeps.
Relax, that popsicle hasn't moved in 50 years.
[Shadow, a red-streaked black hedgehog, is seen in the chamber, sleeping and dreaming. In his head, he hears music. He sees Maria Robotnik, a human girl, playing a guitar. His face softens as he sees her hold his hand under the stars. Then he sees himself flee with her from a squad of soldiers. The two of them lose their grip, and their hands separate. His brow furrows in the capsule, and his heart-rate monitor spikes on one of Kyle's screens, which the guard notices]
Is that normal?
No... [checks another screen] Someone's hacking the system!
What?
The containment tank is destabilizing! He's waking up...
[The guard runs over and sounds the alarm. Two squads of G.U.N. soldiers converge in the chamber, aiming their blasters at the capsule. Just as Shadow starts to stir from his slumber, his heart rate goes down, and he calms down, prompting one soldier to sigh with relief. Until suddenly, Shadow scowls as he opens his eyes, which glow red, and punches the capsule's glass, freeing himself. He steps out, silent, but seething, and teleports from one soldier to the next, incapacitating each with a single hit before any of them can take a shot at him. Shadow vanishes after uppercutting the last soldier up to the balcony's glass, startling Kyle and the guard]
We need more guys.
That is all the guys.
[the soldier slides from the balcony and hits the floor with a loud thud. Outside, one of Prison Island's walls bursts open. Shadow marches out, his eyes still glowing red, and sees Tokyo in the distance. He teleports down and skates across the stormy sea toward the city]
Commander Walters, sir. You're...
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.
That's an order, Director Rockwell. [...but she can't refuse handing him the key] Now, organize the reinforcements.
Yes, sir. [marches off]
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]
No, no, no, wait!
What?
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!
Maria...
What I had to. [teleports away as Maddie, Tails, and Knuckles run inside]
Oh, my God, Tom! [the trio heads over to Tom's unconscious body]
Wait a second. I thought we were going tubing. Hold on, hold on, is this a race?
You're going down!
It is my destiny to claim the throne of Family Champion, hedgehog!
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!
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.
Tom, your brothers are lunatics and neither of them were born with the power to trigger a global, cataclysmic event, so...
That's a fair point. Did you hear that, boys? No cataclysmic events, alright? Let's try to keep this cataclysmic-less.
10-4!
Got it!
Understood, Lord of the Donuts!
Then, on your marks, get set, go! [Team Sonic takes off fast]
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--
What in the what now?
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!
I am also defeating you, hedgehog.
Okay, okay, I get it, man. No need to rub it in.
Come on, Sonic, catch up! Yeah!
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!
Wait a second, you guys, what is all this? [points to the banner] "Happy B-Arthur Day"?
No, it's "Happy B-Earth-day."
Today's the anniversary of the day you came to Earth, bud. It's your Earth Day birthday.
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?
Today we honor you, hedgehog.
If it wasn't for you, none of us would be here right now.
The boys are right, bud. Y'know, the day you came to this planet is the day all our lives changed forever.
And we became a family.
You stole my hoomans.
You guys, I don't, I don't know what to say, except... Let's party! [high-fives Tom]
Toga! Toga!
It's now on 'til the break of dawn!
Robotnik. Goin' full spandex, huh? (re: Gerald) Who's the fossil?
That's my grandfather, you dough-eating dim-becile!
A couple of bleeding hearts, here to rescue their emotional support animals.
Enough! It's over. The only way you're leaving here is in handcuffs. There is no other way out.
You know, there might be one other way out.
And what is that supposed to mean?
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!
Open fire!
Knuckles, turn this stuff off! Hurry!
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.]
