ACT FOUR
CUT TO:
INT. PRISON HALL
We see Cyrus and Trevor in their cell. Then Sonic, Sonia, and Manic SCREECH to a halt in front of it.
SONIC
Don't worry, guys, we'll get ya out of there! Maniac!
Manic grows angry again.
MANIC
It's Manic!
SONIC
Sorry. Can you pick
this lock?
MANIC
Sure thing, bro.
Manic pulls out that nail from his fanny
pack, picks the cell lock, and opens it.
MANIC
Nothing to it.
Sonia runs in.
SONIA
Come on, guys!
TREVOR
(dumb voice)
Ooh, you're pretty.
ON SONIA
Sonia smiles.
SONIA
Thanks, I--
Sonia then grows wide-eyed.
FAST ZOOM IN on Sonia's
pupil.
As the
DINGO
Ooh, pretty.
FAST ZOOM OUT from Sonia's
eye.
Now we're back to
Sonia standing inside the cell.
SONIA
Uh oh. You tried to
kidnap Windamire?!
ON CYRUS AND TREVOR
CYRUS
Ah man! Sleet, she
found out!
Sleet's voice is heard somewhere.
SLEET (V.O.)
Dingo! You idiot! You spoiled the surprise attack!
A laser is shot from somewhere and it hits
both Cyrus and Trevor. Cyrus and Trevor morph into
Dingo!
ON HEDGEHOGS
The hedgehogs gasp!
SONIC
Whoa! How did he do
that?
Sleet jumps and LANDS right behind the
hedgehogs.
SLEET
He can do a lot of stuff I make him do. Like turn into a television snake!
He presses his remote and a laser shoots at
Dingo.
ON DINGO
Dingo turns into a snake with a TV as his
tail.
WIDER
Dingo COILS the hedgehogs preventing them
from escape.
SLEET
Now watch this!
Sleet presses on his remote again and the laser
hits the TV attached to Dingo.
ON TV
On the screen, we see Cyrus and Trevor in two
separate robotosizers.
SLEET
Give yourselves up and we'll
spare them.
ON SONIC
Sonic struggles to get out of Dingo's grip.
SONIC
Who are you two anyway?
ON SLEET
SLEET
Oh, I'm sorry, we never met before, have we? My name is Sleet. This is my
counterpart, Dingo.
ON HEDGEHOGS AND DINGO
Dingo stupidly WAVES to the hedgehogs in a
"hello" matter.
ON SLEET
We work for Doctor Robotnik, our supreme
ruler! We want your surrender and we promise we wont
hurt your friends. What do you say.
ON MANIC
Manic smiles evilly.
MANIC I say this!
WIDER
We hear a POKE sound, and Dingo instantly
JUMPS SKY HIGH releasing the hedgehog.
DINGO
Yeow!
CLOSE ON MANIC
Manic holds out his lock-picking nail in
between his fingers.
WIDER
SONIC
Smooth work, bro. Now
let's grab our socks and hit the rocks!
With that, Sonic grabs Sonia and Manic's wrists and speeds away out of the dungeon place.
ANOTHER ANGLE
Sleet chases them.
SLEET
Come back here!
Before Sleet moved any
further,
SLEET
Get off of me, you
moron!
DINGO
But it hurt!
SLEET
Not as much as what I'll
do to you if you don't get off me!
INT. CORRIDOR
The hedgehogs speed down when they hear a
voice over the intercom.
ALEENA (V.O.)
(over intercom)
My children. Sonic, Sonia,
Manic.
After hearing that, Sonic SCRATCHES to a
haul.
SONIA
Mother?
ALEENA (V.O.)
(over intercom)
Yeah, it's me. My
name is Queen Aleena Hedgehog.
MANIC Where are you?
INT. INTERCOM ROOM
Aleena sits in the intercom rom with an intercom in one hand and a lazer gun in the
other. She sits in the chair kind of teenager-like
with her feet on the desk and leaning back.
ALEENA
Well, if I'm
speaking from an intercom, I'm in the intercom room.
INT. MAIN ROOM
Robotnik perks up his head hearing Aleena on
the intercom.
ALEENA (V.O.)
(over intercom)
But you can't come to me. Your
main focus is Cyrus and Trevor.
INT. PRISON HALL
Sleet and Dingo are still lying on the ground
(Dingo is still on top of Sleet) and they're looking
toward the ceiling where an intercom speaker is.
ALEENA (V.O.)
(over intercom)
If they're not in the Sleet and Dingo
mock-up, they're in the other prison station. Get
there. But before you do, I want you to remember this.
INT. HALL
SONIC
Sure, what?
ALEENA (V.O.)
(over intercom)
Cyrus and Trevor will tell you something that
I told them. Once you do the obvious, look carefully
around the front and you may see me.
MANIC
Sure, mom. We will.
Sonic SCRATCHES his head.
INT INTERCOM ROOM
ALEENA
You'll know what I mean on second notice. But get to Cyrus and Trevor now!
INT. HALL
SONIC
Let's roll!
Sonic grabs Sonia and Manic's
wrists and speeds off. The
ALEENA (V.O.)
(over intercom)
Oh, Sheriff Robotnik.
INT. MAIN HALL
Robotnik looks up at the intercoms angrely.
ALEENA (V.O.)
(over intercom)
Can you hear me?
ROBOTNIK Yeah, I hear you.
ALEENA (V.O.)
(over intercom)
Don't even bother trying to get me. you're no match for my children. I
may be old, but I'm tricky like Tails is.
ROBOTNIK
You know that annoying two-tailed freak?!
INT. HALL
We see Sleet and Dingo running down the
halls.
SLEET
The intercom room is up ahead.
ALEENA (V.O.)
(over intercom)
Of course I know
him.
INT. INTERCOM ROOM
CLOSE ON ALEENA'S
FACE
Aleena has a look a bit like that of an EVIL VILLAIN
with a SLYISH GRIN as the intercom is close to her
mouth. All you can see is her eyes down to her mouth,
nothing more.
ALEENA
(devil-like voice)
I know a lot about him. I
know a lot about you, too. I know a bunch about my
children. You could probably say I know everything.
(cackles)
INT. HALL
Sleet and Dingo tip-toe
to the door that says "INTERCOM ROOM."
ALEENA (V.O.)
(over intercom)
You can't beat the hedgehogs. The prophecy will be fulfilled. And
another thing.
(pause)
ON DOOR
Sleet and Dingo are standing in front of it.
ALEENA (V.O.)
(over intercom)
You will never find me or get to me!
INT. INTERCOM ROOM
Sleet and Dingo burst in the intercom room. Upon entering, their faces grow with horror.
THEIR P.O.V.
All they see is an empty chair and an
intercom on the desk.
ON SLEET AND DINGO
They look terrified.
ALEENA (V.O.)
Aww, whatsa mattah? Did I trick you?
Sleet and Dingo turn their heads.
ANOTHER ANGLE
They see Aleena's
evil-looking face on large security screen's all mixed
to show one image.
ALEENA
See what I mean?
Sleet SHOOTS the screens and half bust. Aleena's eyes CREEP to the other
screens.
ALEENA
Give it up! You
can't win! If you want me, look over on the yellow
lined hallway.
WIDER
Sleet and Dingo look to the hallway and they
go wide-eyed.
THEIR P.O.V.
We see Aleena leaning on the wall waving at
them. She has a laser gun in one hand, and an intercom
in the other.
WIDER
SLEET
Get her!
They run, but are instantly cut off by a
CLOSING METAL DOOR. The door closes in front of Sleet
and Dingo, preventing them from getting to Aleena. There
is just one small glass window in the door.
CLOSER
We see Aleena stick her face through the
glass window and smiles at Sleet and Dingo evilly. Then
she GIGGLES. After that, she turns and runs away.
INT. PRISON HALL
Sonic, Sonia, and Manic SCREECH to a haut right
in front of a cell door. They look in.
THEIR P.O.V.
We see Cyrus and Trevor are in the cell.
CYRUS
About time!
EXT. CELL
Sonic faces Manic and steps back.
SONIC
Manic, do the honors, if you please.
Manic walks to the cell and picks the lock
with his nail.
ANOTHER ANGLE
The cell door opens and Cyrus and Trevor run
out.
TREVOR
Thank you!
SONIA
Save the thanks for later.
Let's get out of here!
Sonic grabs onto Sonia and Manic's wrists. Manic grabs onto
Cyrus's wrist and Sonia grabs Trevor's wrist. Sonic
feet blurred and they ZIPPED OFF FRAME.
INT. MAIN CORRIDOR
Robotnik is walking through his corridor.
ALEENA (V.O.)
Hey, Robotnik!
Robotnik stops and turns around in fear.
ROBOTNIK'S P.O.V.
Aleena is standing at the end of the corridor
aiming her laser gun at him.
ALEENA
How dare you take over Mobotropolice!
She FIRES the lazer!
WIDER
The lazer misses Robotnik. Robotnik
PIVOTS and runs the opposite direction.
ON ALEENA
Aleena chases him, eyes full of rage.
SERIES OF SHOTS
Aleena chases Robotnik through the hallway
and trying to fire her lazer gun at him. (S.B. NOTE: This is from the very beginning of the episode!)
INT. INTERCOM ROOM
Sleet and Dingo PRY open the doors.
SLEET
Come on, you moron!
Sleet runs off frame. PAN
DOWN to see that Dingo is a JACK that's bracing the
door open.
DINGO
Uh, Sleet!
We hear Sleet GROWL. Then
a lazer hits Dingo and morphs him back to normal. Dingo
gets up and follows Sleet.
INT. MAIN ROOM
Sleet and Dingo run in the room. Later, Robotnik enters the room panting.
SLEET
Your greatness, what are you doing here?
ROBOTNIK
It's Aleena! She's--
Robotnik turns his head and sees that Aleena's gone.
DINGO
If she's not here. What
about the other hedgehogs?
SLEET
And the prisoners?
CLOSE ON ROBOTNIK
Robotnik growls angrily.
ROBOTNIK
I'll get those hedgehogs one day!... ONE DAY!
CUT TO:
ROBOTNIK (V.O.)
ONE DAY!!!
As he yells it, the hedgehog, Cyrus and
Trevor ZIP on and off frame! We can hear their
LAUGHING as they speed.
ON THE HEDGEHOGS AND CHARACTERS
The background is a blur as they speed.
SONIC
(calling)
Hey! Guys! Mom said that you would tell us something.
CYRUS
(calling back)
Just head down this route and you'll see it.
WIPE TO:
EXT. UNDERGROUND BASE - NIGHT
Sonic, Sonia, and Manic are standing behind
their UNDERGROUND BASE. Next to it is the UNDERGROUND
VAN, Sonia's MOTORCYCLE and Manic's HOVERBOARD. Cyrus and Trevor stand
there as they present them.
CYRUS
Your mom told us to give these to you once
you three reunited.
MANIC
Radical! We have a
cool happenin’ dude for a mom!
TREVOR
Enjoy your gifts and home. We'll
be seeing ya. Bye.
Cyrus and Trevor walk off frame.
ON HEDGEHOGS
Sonic is looking at the van happily.
SONIC
So, now what?
SONIA (V.O.)
Oh my gosh!
ON SONIA
Sonia is looking at a picture as she stands
next to her motorcycle. Sonic and Manic stand next to
Sonia to see the picture.
SONIC
What is it, sis?
SONIA
Don't I look cute?
ON PICTURE
We see it's a picture of Aleena holding onto
her three 1-year-olds on her arms. Each hedgehog is
wearing diapers.
ON HEDGEHOGS
Their faces grow with "Aww".
SONIC
That must be mom.
Sonic drops a tear, but still holds his
smile.
MANIC
Think of it, we'll
be with her someday.
SONIC
And overthrow Robotnik! But
until then.
CLOSER
We see all three hedgehogs in closer view.
SONIC (CONT.)
My sister, Sonia... my
brother, Manic...
SONIA
Sonic...
SONIC
We'll be one happy family.
MANIC
Group hug!
The three engage in a GROUP HUG. Sonia KISSES Sonic and Manic on the foreheads.
SONIA
I love you guys.
SONIC / MANIC
I love you, too.
ZOOM OUT
We see most of the Underground Base while the
hedgehogs hug. To the side, we see two silhouettes.
ANOTHER ANGLE
We see Tails and Aleena watching the hedgehogs
with tears in their eyes.
ALEENA (V.O.)
My children have reunited.
DISSOLVE TO.
PAN TO SKY
We see the three colored stars in the sky,
one blue, one pink, and one green.
ALEENA (V.O.)(CONT.)
As long as they're happy, I am happy. Someday, we'll all reunite and take down Robotnik. (pause) And I was wrong... we
still are the happiest family in Mobotropolice.
We hear the music to the lullaby that Aleena
sung to them in the background.
ALEENA (V.O.)(CONT.)
Sonic, Sonia, Manic... I
love you.
Upon those words, we FADE OUT.
