ACT ONE
FADE IN:
INT. DARK CAVE-LIKE PLACE
Inside, we see a strange place that looks
like a cave. We PAN TO an isolated corner. In the corner, we see a strange looking guy wearing a robe,
although we can't see his face. His entire short body
is covering up something that glowing behind him.
CLOSER
The glowing stops and the figure turns. We see that the figure is the ORACLE OF DELPHIUS.
ORACLE
No, it can't be.
He walks off into the caves.
He's talking to himself.
ORACLE
I can't believe that the royal future comes
down to this. Something must be done.
But what?
INT. ORACLE LIBRARY - SAME TIME
We are in the library where the Oracle holds
his books. In the corner of the library is a
waterfall-like enterance and exit. The
Oracle looks through his books trying to find something.
ORACLE
It's got to be around here somewhere.
ON BOOKS
The Oracle moves his hands through the books
like mad trying to find something.
ORACLE (V.O.)
Here it is!
The ORacle pulls
out a book from the shelf.
ANOTHER ANGLE
The Oracle places a book on the book holder
and flips it open.
ORACLE'S P.O.V.
We see the book is just text. He flips through the pages looking for something. He stops at a page and points his finger through it.
CLOSE ON BOOK
At this zoom, we see the text easy and huge
to see. The Oracle's findertip
is rather large on the screen too. He looks through
the text which is a series of numbers. the
ORACLE
Got it.
ON ORACLE'S HAND
The Oracle writes the number on his hand with
a quill pen.
CUT TO:
We see a huge glowing crystal ball in the
cave-like place. The Oracle's hand COMES INTO VIEW and
it hovers over the top of the ball. We PAN TO see the
Oracle starring at the ball. He has his eyes closed as
the ball glows brighter.
CLOSE ON ORACLE
The Oracle looks at his palm.
ORACLE
Seven... five... zero... four... eight...
seven...
CUT TO:
Aleena is still sleeping in beed with her children.
ORACLE (CONT.)(V.O.)
two... four... three!
Instantly, Aleena's
eyes opened up in fear. She breaths heavily.
ANOTHER ANGLE
Suddently, the Oracle fades into the room hovering in
front of Aleena.
ALEENA
Oracle. What are you
doing here?
ORACLE
Something has come up.
CUT TO:
INT. CAVELIKE PLACE
The Oracle had his eyes closed as he sits in
front of the ball.
ALEENA (V.O.)
Is it deadly serious?
ORACLE
I think you better come--
CUT TO:
INT. BEDROOM - SAME TIME
ORACLE (CONT.)
--over to the lair.
ALEENA
It is bad, isn't it?
ORACLE
You better come to the lair and see for
yourself. And, bring your children with you.
DISSOLVE TO.
In the ground if this valley is a huge bay
door. Stepping out of the shadows stand a huge fat man. He stands in front of the doors in the ground. PAN TO see the man's face. It's
Doctor Robotnik!
ROBOTNIK
Oh yes! Yes! Yes! Yes! Years
and years of planning and now I feel like it's
actually going to work.
He clasps his hands evily.
CUT TO:
INT. BAY DOORS
Under the doors is a huge aircraft-like
object. Inside are hundreds of SWAT Bots working on it. It's mostly completed but a few things aren't done yet
which are being made as of now.
ON ELEVATOR
Robotnik rides an elevator down to the
creation. As he looks out the window of the downward
moving elevator, he looks at his creation and smiles.
ON OBJECT
The thing is huge. We
see a bunch of displays on it, like a picture of Robotnik's
face on the side. We then see the side showing the
words "ROBOTOSIZER" on the side. It appears to be a huge Robotosizer
planning to robotosize the buildings and take control
over Mobotropolice.
ON ROBOTNIK
Robotnik looks down on it still happily.
CLOSE ON OBJECT
We look at all of the displays and decals of
the object. It has Robotnik's
face on it, the letter "R" on it.
ON ROBOTNIK
Robotnik smiles again.
ON ELEVATOR
The elevator stops and open up. Robotnik steps outside and walks to it. He
places his hand on it and rubs it.
ROBOTNIK
Marvelous, isn't it.
SWATBOT
It will be underway in about 3 hours, sir.
ROBOTNIK
Excellent.
ANOTHER ANGLE
Robotnik walks around the huge object staring
happily at it. He smiles as he walks around it slowly,
looking at every detail. As he's
doing it, he's rubbing his hand along the serface.
ROBOTNIK
All my life I've always wanted this to be
real. I must have drawn it about a thousand diagrams
of it and made models of it, but I was never able to touch the real thing. This is a heart-warming moment for me.
ANOTHER ANGLE
ROBOTNIK
Soon enough, I'll
use this baby to fly it over the city of
He laughs evily.
CUT TO:
The Oracle of Delphius
sits alone reading a book.
ORACLE
Good evening, Aleena.
The Oracle looks up.
ORACLE
Or maybe I should say, good morning.
ANOTHER ANGLE
We see Queen Aleena still wearing her night
gown under a red hooded coat. In her arms are the
three sleeping hedgehogs.
ALEENA
You called me over to tell me something Oracle?
ORACLE
Indeed, your hinness. You see, it's only a matter of
hours left until you have to fullfill your deed and
quickly.
ALEENA
Fullfill my deed? That doesn't sound good.
ORACLE
I'm sorry, but it's not good at all. If I had the power and authority to alter this demand, I
would change it quicker than you can say, "My, that was quick." But, you know as they say, things have to be done
certain ways. Tell me your time before your children's
birth, Aleena.
ON ALEENA
Aleena thought deeply.
ALEENA
Well...
DISSOLVE TO.
INT. KITCHEN - DAY
We see a five-month pregnant Queen Aleena
sitting at her table reading a book. The only
different in looks, rather than the pregnant body she has, is that her hair is
a tad bit shorter and brighter.
ALEENA (V.O.)
I knew childhood was going to be hard for me,
knowing I never had a child before.
CLOSE ON BOOK
We see that this is a book about babies for
parents.
ALEENA (CONT.)(V.O.)
I have held children before.
I've nursed them, fed them, changed them, potty train them, and played
with them. But those were all other peoples children I
had to care for. Now I'm finally going to have a child
of my own. I just never though of something so huge.
CUT TO:
INT. HOSPITAL ROOM
Inside, we see Aleena laying on a bed with a
few doctors around her showing an Ultra Sound Video on a screen. On the screen, we see three little hedgehogs crampt into Aleena. One blue, one pink,
and one green.
DOCTOR
Well, your hiness,
it appears that you are going to have triplets.
ON ALEENA
Aleena looked surprised.
ALEENA
Triplets?
Then she smiled.
ALEENA (V.O.)
"Triplets?"...
that was all I could get out of my mouth. I was
shocked and happy.
CUT TO:
Aleena is still speaking.
ALEENA (CONT.)
I read books, I went to child classes. I had a feeling that I was ready. I
knew sooner or later the day would come. And that day
was the most wonderful day of my life.
Aleena smiles.
ON ORACLE
ORACLE
How did it feel in your feeling about the
birth of your children?
ON ALEENA Aleena is
still smiling at the thought.
ALEENA
It felt like my life was being born along
with it. I was holding new life in myself to spread to
the world. All three are my light and wonder. They are my life. Without them, I
don't think I will be able to live anymore.
Aleena held all three sleeping hedgehogs
closer to her face and nuzzled them.
ON ORACLE
ORACLE
And how did it feel while you were sending them
to the world.
ON ALEENA
Aleena then grew an angry face.
ALEENA
It was the most painful period that I went
through!
CUT TO:
We see Aleena in a hospital bed sweating and
breathing hard as other doctors are on all her sides.
DOCTOR
Come on! Keep
breathing! Keep breathing!
Aleena SCREAMS.
DISSOLVE TO.
SAME PLACE
Aleena is laying in the hospital bed all
alone while she holds three little hedgehoglets in
her arms. One blue male, one pink female, and one
green male. The three lay in Aleena's
arms cooing. Aleena smiles at them, hair still sweaty.
ALEENA (V.O.)
Since that day, I knew I had the best of the
best laying right there in my arms.
CUT TO:
ORACLE
Your Majesty, do you know a man named Doctor Ivo Robotnik?
ON ALEENA
Aleena grows a wide-eyed look.
CLOSE ON ALEENA'S
EYES
She then grows angry looking eyes.
CUT TO:
INT. CASTLE - HALL - NIGHT
The view is in STROBE view, and we hear all
the sounds echo. The sound so far is just heavy
breathing.
CUT TO:
ON ALEENA
We see a little 5-year-old Aleena running
through the halls. Her hair is shorter and brighter,
she's wearing a princess gown. She's running in SLOW MOTIONG down the halls like something was chasing her.
ALEENA'S P.O.V.
She reaches the end of the hall. Then she turns around and looks on the wall of the hall. On the wall shows a shadow of a big fat man. Robotnik's voice echo's through her mind.
ROBOTNIK (V.O.)
You have nowhere to go, Princess!
CUT TO:
ON ALEENA
Aleena still has that angry look on her face. Robotnik's voice is still heard.
ROBOTNIK (CONT.)(V.O.)
As soon as my project is done, you'll be mine!
Aleena shook her head to wave out the thought. She breaths worriedly.
ALEENA
Yes, I know Robotnik. Why?
ON ORACLE
The Oracle raises his hands to show a view. The view shows of Doctor Robotnik releasing his technology. It views everywhere showing many cities being
turned into metal and terror.
ON ALEENA
Aleena grows frightened with that view.
ON ORACLE
The view then shows of many innocent
civilians as robots, the robotosizer in action, and a
bunch of SWAT Bots searching the city like crazy.
ORACLE
This, Queen Aleena, is going to start tonight. Doctor Robotnik will unleash his new technology against Mobotropolice and turn it into a world of terror.
ALEENA
You mean, this is going to happen tonight?
ORACLE
Down to the last detail. All
civilians will be taken away and robotosized. Meaning they'll turn into robots
making them mindless slaves to Robotnik.
ALEENA
Yeah, I know what robotosized
means.
ORACLE
You see, Mobius is
built for peace. There is nothing no one can do to stop
Doctor Robotnik from his rein of terror.
ALEENA
We don't have an army or something?
ORACLE
You're the one who said Mobius
should be completely peaceful. All citizens will be robotosized and all aristocrats will be free to
The vision shows of a bunch of SWAT Bots
running around the place destorying everything in
sight.
ON ALEENA
Aleena is shocked and sad by the views.
ALEENA
Oracle, will all this really happen tonight?
ORACLE
Afraid so, your majesty. As
I said, if I can prevent what I'm going to tell you, I would.
But I have to tell you this.
ALEENA
Tell me what?
ORACLE
You see, the terror days are numbered! One day, you and your children will form the Council of
Four. On that day, Robotnik's
terror will end in a large smash.
ALEENA
All four of us?
ORACLE
Yes, but there is something you have to do in
order for that to happen.
Aleena turned to the Oracle and worried.
ALEENA
What?
ORACLE
That's why I told you to bring your children here.
ALEENA
I knew it. It's bad,
isn't it!
ORACLE
I say again, I absolutely don't
want to do this to you... but I have to.
Aleena started to worry.
ON ORACLE
The visions from his hands faded away.
CLOSE ON ORACLE
ORACLE
Your Majesty... in order for the prophacy to be full-filled, you must...
The Oracle pauses.
ON ALEENA
ALEENA
I must what?
ON ORACLE
The Oracle looks up sadly.
ORACLE
I don't want to do
this, but... in order for the prophacy to be fullfilled... you must give up your children and separate
them to different homes.
Upon those words, we FADE OUT.
