− | <pre>
| |
− | Queen Aleena: Behind the mask of our everyday faces are secret fears and
| |
− | ambitions we try to hide from others. It takes courage to come
| |
− | out from behind the mask and let the world see who we really are.
| |
− | | |
− | Manic: Dude, this place gives me the creeps!
| |
− | Sonia: Yeah, especially since it's NICE everywhere else!
| |
− | Sonic: Gotta hand it to Buttnik - he knows how to set a mood! Come on! If Mom
| |
− | was imprisoned here, the records might hold a clue to where she went!
| |
− | Actor: It's showtime!
| |
− | Sonia: Now what do we do?
| |
− | Actor: [clears throat] Oh I, why have I been so unjustly imprisoned? Unmask
| |
− | my face and let me look upon... er... Freedom! Precious freedom again!
| |
− | Sonia: Who is that? A prisoner?
| |
− | Sonic: The big question is - why a prisoner?
| |
− | Manic: Yeah, Buttnik usually just robotosizes them!
| |
− | Actor: Let me ou-ou-ou-out!
| |
− | Sonia: There's something familiar about that voice...
| |
− | Manic: Yeah, sounds like Sonic's off-key singing!
| |
− | Sonic: Very funny. Now maybe we can find some answers once we finally get
| |
− | inside!
| |
− | | |
− | Sonic: Hmm... Manic, can you hack this hardware?
| |
− | [Manic starts typing away and a Dingo-face appears on the machine]
| |
− | Sonic: Manic, I'm waiting...
| |
− | Dingo: Hehehahaha - stop that, I'm ticklish!
| |
− | Manic: Dingo!
| |
− | Sleet: You expecting maybe a brass band and the key to the city?
| |
− | Sonia: Sleet!
| |
− | [Dingo turns back]
| |
− | Sleet: Get them! Grab him!
| |
− | [Sleet and Dingo get tied up with some tape]
| |
− | Sonic: Where's the records about our Mom?
| |
− | Dingo: There aren't any! The tip was a fake! Part of the trap!
| |
− | Sonia: And the prisoner in the tower? What did he do?
| |
− | Dingo: Nothing - Robotnik didn't robotosize him because he's important, but
| |
− | nobody knows who he is!
| |
− | Sonia: That's terrible!
| |
− | [Sleet arrives with more SWATBots]
| |
− | Sleet: There!
| |
− | Sonic: Last one across the moat's a Buttnik prisoner!
| |
− | | |
− | Sleet: The... the hedgehogs got away!
| |
− | Robotnik: Of course they did! I planned that!
| |
− | Sleet: Yes, of course you did, a great idea, Robotnik!
| |
− | Robotnik: Can it, Sleet!
| |
− | Dingo: I told them the stuff you said to tell them, Robotnik Sir!
| |
− | Robotnik: Excellent! I have a plan we can use to eliminate them PERMANENTLY!
| |
− | Hahahaha!
| |
− | | |
− | Sonia: Do you know the man who was a prisoner in this tower?
| |
− | [Man shrugs shoulders and walks away]
| |
− | | |
− | [Song: Part of the problem]
| |
− | | |
− | When there's trouble you don't want to face,
| |
− | You disappear without a trace,
| |
− | You run and hide your head in the sand.
| |
− | | |
− | But if you want to be a winner some day,
| |
− | Gotta learn to chase the wolf away,
| |
− | Gonna have to get involved, don't you understand?
| |
− | | |
− | You're part of the problem,
| |
− | If you're not helping solve them,
| |
− | Stand up and show 'em what you got!
| |
− | | |
− | Be part of the solution,
| |
− | No reason for losing,
| |
− | Just be sure you're not,
| |
− | Part of the problem!
| |

− | Be sure you're not,
| |
− | Part of the problem!
| |
− | | |
− | Sonic: Maybe now they'll tell us who the prisoner is!
| |
− | [Man shrugs shoulders and shakes his head] | |
− | Sonic: Looks like the only way to find out who that prisoner is is to rescue
| |
− | him ourselves!
| |
− | | |
− | Actor: Oh, woe is me, will I never be free?
| |
− | [Sonic runs up the stairs]
| |
− | Actor: Help me! Free me!
| |
− | Sonic: Stand back! [Busts door down]
| |
− | Manic (noticing SWATBots approaching): We're gonna have company...
| |
− | Actor: Leave me! Save yourselves!
| |
− | Sonic: Not without you!
| |
− | Sleet: Quickly - get up there and make sure those SWATBots don't blow it!
| |
− | Sonic: Come on, come on, let's speed up!
| |
− | [The hedgehogs destroy the SWATBots] | |
− | Sonia: In Buttnik's world, there is NO justice!
| |
− | Sonic: Yeah, there's just US!
| |
− | | |
− | [Sonic, Sonia, Manic and the actor grab onto a rope, which lets them fall
| |
− | down (and at the same time pulls a cage up). But they're about to fall right
| |
− | into Sleet's clutches!]
| |
− | Actor: Oh no!
| |
− | Sleet: Hehe
| |
− | hahaha!
| |
− | Dingo: This may hurt... [gets hit by the cage coming up]
| |
− | Sleet: Uh oh... Ouch! [the hedgehogs land right on top of Sleet]
| |
− | | |
− | Manic: Congratulations my man, you've just experienced a righteous resistance
| |
− | rescue! Now let's bust your noggin outta that loser headgear! It'll
| |
− | only take a sec!
| |
− | Actor: No! Don't! The mask - it's booby-trapped! If you unlock it,
| |
− | BOOM! Hedgehog hash!
| |
− | Sonia: Phew! Now that's a visual I didn't need!
| |
− | Sonic: So who are you anyway?
| |
− | Sonia: And why's Buttnik got you wearing that metal bonnet? It doesn't do a
| |
− | thing for you!
| |
− | Actor: You'll pardon my wariness, but who are you?
| |
− | Manic: Hey - you are looking at the Sonic Underground!
| |
− | Sonic: Manic, Sonia, and me - Sonic!
| |
− | Sonia: We're the children of Mobius' rightful ruler - Queen Aleena!
| |
− | Actor: (gasp) Can it really be you? I can't believe it - why, I haven't seen
| |
− | you since you were little hedgehoglets!
| |
− | Manic: Clarification is in order, man!
| |
− | Actor: I couldn't expect you to remember me, but I am your uncle! Your
| |
− | mother's twin brother!
| |
− | [Van screeches to a halt]
| |
− | Actor: Ah, the fresh air of freedom!
| |
− | Manic: Do you think he could really be Mom's brother?
| |
− | Sonia: Well, his voice does sound familiar...
| |
− | Manic: Besides, why else would Buttnik have him in the clink?
| |
− | Actor: I managed to conceal these from Robotnik in the hopes that some day
| |
− | I could bestow them upon you! [reveals rings] They bear the Royal
| |
− | family crest - wear them always!
| |
− | Sonic: I don't get it! Why the mask? And how come we've never heard of you
| |
− | before?
| |
− | Actor (overacting): It's the law! There can be only one ruler of Mobius!
| |
− | I was forced into exile, and then when your mother vanished Robotnik
| |
− | imprisoned me, afraid that I would claim the throne!
| |
− | Manic: Aw, bummer! Major drawback to royalty!
| |
− | Sonic: Don't worry bro, when I'm ruler you won't have to vanish!
| |
− | Sonia: You? Hah! A ruler needs some culture and sophistication - you can't
| |
− | serve chili-dogs at a Royal Banquet! Besides, I will never wear a
| |
− | mask - talk about a clashing accessory!
| |
− | Manic: Hey! I'm the true representative of the people!
| |
− | Sonia: Hey! I don't recall saying YOU were the leader!
| |
− | Manic: Oh, like Miss Perfect doesn't think she's Queen already!
| |
− | Sonia: You've got to admit - I look best in a crown!
| |
− | Sonic: I'm saying that once I'm ruler, I'm sure we can work something out for
| |
− | you two.
| |
− | Sonia: Frankly, I don't think either of you are up to the Royal job!
| |
− | Manic and Sonic: OH YEAH?
| |
− | Sonia: Yeah!
| |
− | Actor: Look out! More of Robotnik's troops!
| |
− | Sonic: Hit it, sibs!
| |
− | Manic: Just because I've lived on the streets all my life doesn't mean I
| |
− | can't handle the crown!
| |
− | Sonic: Dream on! I'll be wearing the crown!
| |
− | Sonia: You? I'd look much better in a crown - diamonds go with my eyes!
| |
− | Robotnik: Hehehaha! Ah, yes! Already the breakup has started, just as I
| |
− | planned! And all it needs is one more little push!
| |
− | [Presses a button, oil spills out onto the road ahead of the SU van, causing
| |
− | it to skid]
| |
− | Manic: Give it more gas!
| |
− | Sonic: Sure! So the wheels can spin even more!
| |
− | Sonia: If you were to steer Mobius the way you steer a van, then we'd all be
| |
− | on the road to disaster!
| |
− | Sonic: Yeah? Well if you become ruler I'll vanish on purpose, just so I don't
| |
− | have to listen to you!
| |
− | Sonia: Well if that's how you feel then I'll just leave! Go off by myself!
| |
− | Sonic: Yeah! This hedgehog never needed anyone before and he doesn't now!
| |
− | As of now, the Sonic Underground is through - we each go our own
| |
− | way - and may the best ruler win!
| |
− | Sonia: Fine!
| |
− | Manic: Let there be the rule of cool!
| |
− | Actor: Mind if I accompany you?
| |
− | Manic: Hike along, Unc!
| |
− | Robotnik: HehehehahahahahHAHAHAHAHA!
| |
− | | |
− | Actor: So much has changed since I was imprisoned! Where are we going?
| |
− | Manic: No offence, but if you wanna stop attracting SWATBot attention, we
| |
− | gotta get that mask off your mug, And as it happens I know this ?????
| |
− | secret locksmith who can deactivate any booby-trap! Whoa-oa-oa!
| |
− | Actor: What's wrong?
| |
− | Manic: This was NOT here before!
| |
− | [we see a door which is obviously a Dingo tran
| |
− | sformation]
| |
− | Manic: Hey! Dingo! [captures Manic] Run, Unc!
| |
− | Actor: Oh, I shall!
| |
− | | |
− | Sonia: How could Sonic and Manic possibly think they'd be a better ruler than
| |
− | me? I'm the one with the Queen ????! Those other two - they've ruined
| |
− | the Royal reputation!
| |
− | Actor: Oh I agree, my dear niece!
| |
− | Sonia: Uncle?
| |
− | Actor: Your brother Manic abandoned me - NOT royal material at all, in my
| |
− | opinion!
| |
− | Sonia: And Sonic is just as bad! They both make me so angry!
| |
− | Actor: Now, now, what would your poor mother think?
| |
− | Sonia: Huh?
| |
− | [We see a fallen statue of Queen Aleena, another Dingo transformation]
| |
− | Sonia: You're right! Mother would want us to work together!
| |
− | Dingo: Sohnia! In my arms at last! [captures Sonia]
| |
− | | |
− | Sonic: All I need to do is get the van out of the ditch, and I can go on tour
| |
− | as a solo Resistance act!
| |
− | [Scene: Industrial 'garage' type place with an orange bin (another Dingo transformation)]
| |
− | Sonic: Anyone here? I need a tow-truck! Hmm... maybe they have a wrench I
| |
− | could borrow.
| |
− | Actor: An excellent idea!
| |
− | Sonic: What? How'd you get here? Where's Manic?
| |
− | Actor: He's just not suitable as a ruler - I've decided you are! That's why I
| |
− | came!
| |
− | Sonic: Yeah? How'd you find me?
| |
− | Actor: Er... I... er... um...
| |
− | Sonic: Spit it out Uncle, if that's really who you are! How'd you track me
| |
− | down? Say...
| |
− | [looks at ring, which is now glowing - it's a homing device!]
| |
− | Sleet: Get him! [morphs Dingo back]
| |
− | Sonic: Lemme give you a lift! [activates cranes, lifting SWATBots]
| |
− | Robotnik (on monitor): Don't just stand there you tin-faced twerp - get in
| |
− | there and DO SOMETHING! Or else...
| |
− | Actor: Er... right!
| |
− | [Sonic gets knocked out by the actor and is then captured by Sleet]
| |
− | | |
− | [Sonic, Sonia and Manic are locked in the tower]
| |
− | Sonic: Whoa, have I got a Sonic-sized headache!
| |
− | Sonia: We've got worse troubles than that! [points to handcuffs]
| |
− | Manic: Imagine us getting sucked into Buttnik's plan like that!
| |
− | Sonia: He was trying to split us up!
| |
− | Sonic: And it worked too - thanks to...
| |
− | [Dingo throws the actor into the cell, with his mask taken off]
| |
− | Actor: Ohhhhh....
| |
− | Sonia: Hey! That's no Uncle - that's... Luke Perriwinkle, the actor! I used
| |
− | to see all of his movies!
| |
− | Actor: Always gratifying to meet a fan!
| |
− | Sonic: I always thought he was a ham!
| |
− | Actor: Huh? I beg your pardon!
| |
− | Manic: The mask! It's booby-trapped!
| |
− | Actor: It won't explode, it was just a surveillance camera! Robotnik forced
| |
− | me to play this role to trick you - he said he'd robotosize me if I
| |
− | didn't do it - but after he caught you he imprisoned me anyway!
| |
− | [Kicks the mask towards the door, and it explodes, breaking the door down!]
| |
− | Manic: Whoa! It was booby-trapped!
| |
− | Actor: You mean... my head... boom? [faints]
| |
− | Sonic: Now's our chance! Manic, can you shed these shackles?
| |
− | | |
− | Manic: Whoa, man, no exit!
| |
− | Sonic: Over here! [Throws Sonic a sword]
| |
− | Manic: The Sonic Underground reunion tour!
| |
− | Sonia: All hedgehogs for one...
| |
− | Sonic: And one hedgehog for all!
| |
− | [The Sonic Underground smash the SWATBots, Sonic and Sonia using swords,
| |
− | and Manic using his drumsticks!]
| |
− | Manic: Drum roll please!
| |
− | [Sleet and Dingo arrive]
| |
− | Sonic: Bad... Wait! [points to ropes]
| |
− | Sonia: Give the word!
| |
− | Sonic: Now!
| |
− | [Sonic and Sonia throw their swords in the air, cutting the ropes and
| |
− | causing a piece of cloth to fall down in front of Sleet and Dingo's vehicle]
| |
− | Dingo: Argh! Can't see!
| |
− | Sleet: Oh! I can't steer!
| |
− | [Sleet and Dingo's vehicle crashes through the wall, setting off a progressive
| |
− | collapse of the tower]
| |
− | [Sonic speeds over the water, while Sonia and Manic use Sleet and Dingo's
| |
− | heads as stepping stones]
| |
− | [Tower crumbles into the water, and the weather clears up]
| |
− | Actor: Now that I'm free I'm giving up acting. I am going to join the
| |
− | Resistance!
| |
− | Manic: You do that guy!
| |
− | Sonia: I hate to say it, but I guess we learned a lesson!
| |
− | Sonic: Yeah, if we ever rule, we do it together!
| |
− | Manic: But first we have to get the van outta the ditch where Sonic
| |
− | crashed it!
| |
− | Sonic: Me? Now wait a Sonic Second!
| |
− | Sonia: Well, you were driving!
| |
− | Sonic: Yeah, but you were supposed to be watching the road!
