'''Flying Fortress''' is the 25th episode of ''[[Sonic Underground]]''. This episode was not aired in North America.
  
Sonia: Ah, this is the life! Sun, surf... and no old Buttnik to

      worry about! We needed a little rest and relaxation... huh?

*[[Flying Fortress (transcript)]]
[Sonic speeds by]
 
Sonia: Hey! You're getting me all gritty!
 
Sonic: [throws frisbee away] Okay - gotta go!
 
[speeds back and catches frisbee]
 
Sonic: Do I really think I can beat myself? Course I do! Try
 
      catching this one! [throws it away again]
 
  
[Manic is digging in the sand]

==Production credits==
Manic: Phew! Jackpot! My day has just been made in the shade!

{{creditstable|
      [pulls out banknote] Can you dig it - two Mobiums! Aah!
 
Sonic: Fan-cy! [gets hit by frisbee] Hey! Who's the wize guy? Oh
 
      yeah, I'm the wize guy!
 
[shadow falls on the beach]
 
Sonic: Okay, who turned out the lights?
 
Sonia: Uh-oh... something tells me we've got a Buttnik on the
 
      horizon!
 
[We see a round, floating fortress which starts firing lasers]
 
Sonic: Bail, sibs! Looks like our vacation's just been sand-blasted!
 
Manic: Well, at least it's not a total loss! [shows banknote]
 
Sonia: Heads up! They're getting ready to fire again!
 
  
Robotnik: Blast Sonic and his siblings back to the pre-Mobian age!
+
}}
          HAHAHAHA!
 
Sleet: Excellent shooting your rotundness - Dingo and I should have
 
      no trouble scooping up those hedgehogs for you!
 
Robotnik: Oh, why bother - my Fortress of Altitude can take care of
 
          a trio of troublesome hedgehogs without YOUR help!
 
[Robotnik starts firing again]
 
Sonic: We'd better grab the van and vamoose outta here!
 
[The hedgehogs get in the van and drive off]
 
Sonic: This forest ought to give us some protection - no way they
 
      can see us under these trees!
 
Sonia: That's it! Nobody messes with the forest! 
 
[The hedgehogs get their instruments out and start firing on the
 
fortress - to no effect!]
 
Sonic: Whoa - the armor on that thing must be solid Mobidindum!
 
Manic: Mobidindum? That weighs tons! How can Buttnik make it fly?
 
Sonic: Maybe it's time we find out just what makes that Buttnik
 
      ugly-thing tick! Ready for launch!
 
Manic: Blast off!
 
[Sonic is catapulted up to the fortress, and gets in via the cannon]
 
Sonic: Hey, get a load of this! [shoves SWATBot into cannon]
 
Robotnik: FIRE!
 
[SWATBot is fired out of cannon and explodes]
 
Sonic: If I could just find the energy reactor to this jallopy,
 
      then I could stop Buttnik in his tracks! Hmm... now, if I
 
      were a reactor, where would I be?
 
[Sonic zooms around]
 
Sonic: Must have taken a wrong turn...
 
[Sonic zooms around again; we see Sleet and Dingo watching on a
 
monitor]
 
Sleet: What is that blurry camera on Deck 212? Hey!
 
Dingo: Maybe it's busted!
 
Robotnik: Maybe YOU'RE defective - my fortress is perfect! It must
 
          be - I designed it myself!
 
Sleet (whispering): That explains the round shape!
 
[Sleet and Dingo giggle]
 
Robotnik: What are you laughing about?
 
Sleet: Nothing Sir! It's blurry again!
 
Robotnik: You must be seeing things - but just to show you what a
 
          nice guy I am, we'll just do a little house-cleaning -
 
          just in case! I designed my fortress with an invincible
 
          defence system - watch, and learn!
 
Sonic: That doesn't sound friendly... [green energy approaches] It
 
      looks even worse! Uh-oh! Dead end! How about a little
 
      Sonic Super Spin?
 
[Sonic uses a super spin and breaks out of the fortress]
 
Sonic: AAAAHHH! Out of the frying pan and into mid-air!
 
Manic: Huh? I'll get you bro! [gets on air surfboard]
 
Sonic: Manic! Goin' my way, bro?
 
[Manic catches Sonic]
 
Manic: Hang 20, bro! You finished fast - did you disable that
 
      tin-can?
 
Sonic: Uh... not exactly...
 
[Fortress releases flying SWATBot]
 
Sonic: And we've got company!
 
  
[The hedgehogs and SWATBots engage in another battle]
+
==References==
Sonic: Incoming!

<references />
Manic: Hang on, br
 
o!
 
Sonic: Whoaaaaa!
 
Manic: Wipeout!
 
[Sonic starts to fall but Manic catches him]
 
Sonic: MANIC!
 
Manic: Hop on, bro!
 
Sonia: We may need to hide in that cave! Come on! Robuttnik's
 
      getting ready to fire again!
 
[All scream and run into cave]
 
Robotnik: Cease fire - there's nothing left to destroy! Least of
 
          all Sonic and his meddlesome siblings!
 
  
[The hedgehogs come out, we see the remains of the forest]
 
Sonia: This is horrible! That Buttnik's destroyed everything!
 
Manic: Yeah... all we got now is a lifetime supply of toothpicks!
 
Sonic: The Resistance won't stand a chance unless we knock
 
      Buttnik's flying fortress outta the sky!
 
Sonia: Okay, but how? You were up there and you couldn't stop him!
 
Sonic: I know, but we gotta crash that flying fortress before
 
      Mobius is trashed!
 
Manic: Yeah, but man, we don't even know what makes that thing fly!
 
Sonic: I was run out of there by a big wave of green energy...
 
      oh yeah - _emerald_ green! Maybe Buttnik's gotten his hands
 
      on the Chaos Emerald!
 
Sonia: Can't be! If he did, then that would mean...
 
Manic: The Floating Island would have fallen from the sky!
 
Sonic: And if Buttnik had destroyed the Floating Island, we'd have
 
      heard about it! Could there be another Chaos Emerald?
 
Sonia: He'd be able to tap almost unlimited power! We'll need help
 
      getting to that fortress's engine room...
 
Manic: And there's only one person I know who can handle a Chaos
 
      Emerald!
 
Sonic: Time for a little post-vacation trip!
 
 
Knuckles: Floating Island to unknown aircraft - identify yourselves!
 
          Hmm, looks like a Robotnik-built flying SWATBot!
 
[The hedgehogs are in a patched-up SWATBot, flying towards the
 
island]
 
Sonic: Aw, I can't believe I let you talk me into flying in this
 
      patched-up bot!
 
Manic: Chill, bro, it'll get us to the Floating Island no prob!
 
Knuckles: Arm all anti-aircraft systems - fire at will!
 
[Floating Island starts firing at the hedgehogs]
 
Manic: Whoa - problemo sibs, they've locked onto us! Wish this bot
 
      had a radio!
 
Sonic: Just fly friendly... they won't shoot us down if we're not
 
      hostile.
 
Sonia: I don't think THEY knew that!
 
[A laser hits the SWATBot, and it starts to smoke]
 
Sonic: I've got an idea!
 
Manic: Ohh, like your last one was just SO good(!)
 
[Sonic manouvers the SWATBot around and writes SONIC in the
 
air with the smoke]
 
Knuckles: Cease fire - they're friendlies!
 
[The hedgehogs land on the Floating Island]
 
Sonic: It's good to have solid ground under my feet...
 
      [looks down over edge of island] ...almost!
 
Knuckles: Sonic? Manic? Sonia? What're you doing here? You could
 
          have been blasted to bits!
 
Sonic: Yeah, thanks for almost blowing us outta the sky(!)
 
Manic: The round dude's built himself one seriously bad flying
 
      fortress!
 
Sonia: And we think it may be powered by a Chaos Emerald!
 
Knuckles: A Chaos Emerald?!
 
Sonic: Yeah, is it possible that more than one Chaos Emerald exists?
 
Knuckles: They're rare, but if Buttnik's got his hands on one he
 
          could be unstoppable!
 
Sonic: That's why we need your help, big guy!
 
Knuckles: I'd like to help - but my first duty is to protect the
 
          Floating Island. I can't go chasing all over Mobius! I
 
          gotta take care of my own people!
 
Sonia: Hey, wait a minute! You're a part of Mobius too - if it goes,
 
      so does your precious island!
 
Manic: True, and you're the only dude who knows the skimmy on Chaos
 
      Emeralds!
 
Knuckles: I'm sorry, but there's nothing I can do.
 
 
Song - No One Is An Island
 
 
No one, no one is an island
 
No one, no one stands alone
 
No one, no one is an island
 
No one, no one's on their own
 
 
Sooner or later you will understand
 
When you help others you are helping yourself
 
You've got to learn to lend a helping hand
 
Learn to take help when it comes from someone else
 
 
Whoa-oa 'cause
 
No one, no one is an island
 
(No one)
 
No one, no one stands alone
 
(Nobody stands alone)
 
no one, no one is an island
 
(No one is an island)
 
no one, no one's on their own
 
(Nobody's on their own)
 
No one, no on
 
e is an island
 
No one, no one stands alone!
 
 
Knuckles: Alright! Enough! I'll do it! I'll help you!
 
Sonic: I knew you couldn't resist a good Buttnik-kicking!
 
 
Knuckles: Flaps - check! Rudder - check! Tyres - check! Oil - check!
 
Athear: Knuckles...
 
Knuckles: In a minute... Extra little bags of in-flight
 
          peanuts - check!
 
[A vision of Knuckles' great grandfather Athair appears]
 
Athair: Knuckles listen to me.
 
Knuckles: Alright already! I'm all ears... Great Grandpa Athair! Is
 
          that you?
 
Athair: You must not leave the Floating Island.
 
Knuckles: Why? But I promised my friends - Buttnik has to be
 
          stopped!
 
Athair: Great grandson - you have been warned. If you leave the
 
        Floating Island, all of Mobius could be destroyed. The fate
 
        of Mobius is in YOUR hands.
 
 
Knuckles: Great grandfather - what can I do to protect both Mobius
 
          and my friends?
 
Athair: There may be a way... the future can be changed. The fate
 
        of Mobius depends on your decision!
 
Knuckles: Great grandfather - wait! Don't leave!
 
[Athair disappears]
 
Manic: Yo, who're you talking to?
 
Knuckles: Ah, er, no-one! (Hope I'm doing the right thing!)
 
Sonic: Then let's haul haunch!
 
 
[Knuckles' plane takes off]
 
 
Robotnik: Prepare to obliterate Port Mobius! They'll see what
 
          happens when they turn against Robotnik! Stand by for
 
          bombardment on my command!
 
Dingo: Y'know those Port Mobians only sided with you because of us!
 
Sleet: Yeah, we rigged up that fake sea-monster!
 
Robotnik: You two have had so many failures it's hard to keep them
 
          all straight! Interrupt my work again, and I'll have you
 
          tossed off the fortress - while we're STILL IN THE AIR!!! Ah, now, where was I?
 
Sleet: Robotnik thinks he doesn't need us any more - and you know
 
      what happens to people he doesn't need!
 
Dingo: Er... no - what?
 
Sleet: He _robotosizes_ them - where have you been? It's time for
 
      us to act!
 
Dingo: Okay, but I won't wear a girlie costume!
 
Sleet: Come on you flea-paradise!
 
[Alarm goes off in control room]
 
Robotnik: What is it now? An unidentified aircraft?! How DARE it
 
          approach my fortress?
 
[We see a plane flying towards the fortress, with a cardboard
 
cutout of Knuckles in it]
 
Knuckles (obviously a looped recording): Request emergency landing.
 
                                        Request emergency landing.
 
                                        Request emergency landing.
 
Robotnik: Certainly - we'll give you a warm welcome... a very warm
 
          welcome indeed! BLOW HIM OUT OF THE SKY!
 
[The decoy plane gets shot out of the sky, meanwhile the hedgehogs
 
and Knuckles land on the fortress with parachutes]
 
Robotnik: Welcome to my Fortress of Altitude! HAHAHAHAHA!
 
Knuckles: Ready to dig in?
 
Sonic: We're behind you all the way!
 
[Knuckles digs his way into the fortress]
 
Knuckles: Now all we have to do is find the Chaos Emerald!
 
[pulls out device]
 
Manic: What's that thing do?
 
Knuckles: This is a Chaometer. It tracks the energy from a Chaos
 
          Emerald - and there's one on board all right! Follow me!
 
[We see Robotnik watching them on a security camera]
 
Robotnik: That's impossible! How did THEY get aboard my fortress?
 
Knuckles: Whoa! This Chaometer's going crazy! Something's coming...
 
Sonic: Uh-oh! Could be that green stuff that chased me before! We
 
      gotta get out of here!
 
Knuckles: Stand back! [digs hole in wall so that they can hide]
 
Sonic: Whoa!
 
Knuckles: There's a Chaos Emerald under us - through about a Mobius
 
          Mile of Mobidindum!
 
Sonic: So what're we waiting for? Do your stuff, Knuckles!
 
[Knuckles starts to dig]
 
 
[Two SWATBots are guarding the Chaos Emerald - suddenly they
 
explode and we see Sleet with a gun]
 
Sleet: I never knew blowing up SWATBots could be so much fun! With
 
      the Chaos Emerald in our hands, Robotnik won't dare try to
 
      get rid of us!
 
Dingo: Good thinking, Sleet!
 
Sleet: If nothing else, he won't have his precious fortress any
 
      more! [takes Emerald] And he'll need our help again!
 
[Seconds later Knuckl
 
es and the hedgehogs dig their way in]
 
Knuckles: This is bad... residual energy's high, but it looks like
 
          somebody's already swiped the Emerald!
 
[Fortress starts to judder and fall]
 
Knuckles: Without the Emerald this fortress is sunk! We'll drop
 
          like a rock into the Mobian Sea!
 
Sonic: Into the... sea?
 
[Alarms go off]
 
Robotnik: Those hedgehogs must have stolen my Chaos Emerald!
 
          SWATBots - reach for a crash landing!
 
[We see Sleet and Dingo on the monitor, flying away from the
 
fortress]
 
Robotnik: Ooh, those rats - deserting a sinking ship! Someone is
 
          going to pay for this!!!
 
[Fortress plummets into the sea and water starts coming in]
 
Manic: Man, that was some ride! At least Buttnik's overgrown
 
      beach-ball is trashed and crashed!
 
Sonia: But we didn't take the Chaos Emerald!
 
Sonic: Yeah, so who did?
 
Sleet: Now we've got the power, instead of Robotnik!
 
Dingo: Yeah, just wait till WE'RE in charge!
 
[Sleet and Dingo laugh]
