ACT THREE
FADE IN.
EXT. CLUB
Sonic, Sonia, and Manic stand outside the
club all alone.
SONIC
He's got my uncle Chuck! We got to find them.
MANIC
They also have Farell.
SONIA
And Lady Windamire.
SONIC
Come on, let's try to find them.
Before Sonic speeds away, a green bolt
flashes in the middle of them and the Oracle of Delphius appears.
ORACLE
I'm sorry, but you are too late.
He shows an image from his hands of the
robotosized Chuck, Windamire, and Farell.
SONIC
Oh no.
MANIC
Farell.
SONIA
Lady Windamire.
The Oracle closes the image.
ORACLE
It is time to start your quest.
SONIC
Quest? What quest?
MANIC
Wait, that two-tailed fox told me about it.
SONIC
You mean Tails?
VOICE (V.O.)
That's right.
The hedgehogs turn to the voice to see Tails
walking out of the shadows to them.
MANIC
Dude, where have you been? You were like
there one minute, the next you were gone. How did you do that?
SONIC
I taught him that.
TAILS
That, and because I'm a fox. We're sneaky and
tricky.
SONIA
One thing puzzles me, how did you get those
two tails?
ORACLE
I'll fill that in, I did that to him.
SONIC
You?! You mean you were the one who gave my
buddy those two tails of his.
ORACLE
That's correct.
MANIC
Anyway, you were saying about a quest.
ORACLE
You three aren't alone. You also have a
mother. She's hiding somewhere in this city.
SONIA
She is? Where?
ORACLE
That's for you find out. Your quest is that
one day, you will form the Council of Four to take down Robotnik's tyranny.
SONIC
So that's what you meant by four? The three
of us and our mother?
ORACLE
Precisely.
MANIC
But, how will she protect herself from those
strong bots?
TAILS
Don't worry about that, Manic, she knows how
to fight... well!
SONIC
Does she fight like you?
TAILS
A lot better than me! Once you meet her,
check out her fighting skills! She'll blow you away!
ORACLE
There's something else you must learn, touch
your medallions.
SONIC
No problem-o.
They each touch their medallions. A GUITAR is
formed around Sonic, a KEYBOARD is formed in front of Sonia, and a DRUM SET is
formed in front of Manic!
MANIC
Whoa! Tubeular!
ORACLE They are your power sources and
weapons. Sonic, it helps you to run at light speed. Sonia, you can make a
tornado out of yourself. And Manic, you have the most power weapon, you can
cause earthquakes!
SONIC
Neat-o!
SONIA
Awesome!
MANIC
Crashin'!
ORACLE
And, as obvious, they can play music! You're
all good musicians. Can't wait to hear more hits from you three.
SONIC
Awesome, neither can I Orky.
ORACLE
Just remember to be true to yourselves and
your powers. One day, you will eventually meet your mother, Queen Aleena, and
form the Council of Four to overthrow Robotnik. Good luck, hedgehogs. The fait
of Mobius is in your hands.
With that, the Oracle slowly fades away.
SONIC
So, now what?
The hedgehogs look around and they see Tails
is gone, too.
SONIA
That fox is good.
MANIC
Wait! Tails told me that something will
happen.
SONIC
What?
MANIC
He said that our friends, Cyrus and Trevor
are going to be captured.
SONIA
You know those two, too?
SONIC
Me too.
SONIA
They must know the Oracle to keep us separate
or something.
SONIC
Captured? Then we gotta save them!
Their instruments fade back to medallions.
Sonic grabs their wrists and speeds away.
INT. STRANGE COMPUTER ROOM
Cyrus is at the computer room with Trevor.
CYRUS
Robotnik's still not back at his computer
room yet.
TREVOR
Well, I saw Lady Windamire captured, but no
Sonia.
INT. VENTS
We see the little bug in the vents. Sleet
opens up the vent doors and sees it. His eyes widen in happiness as he picks it
up.
ROBOTNIK (V.O.)
Sleet!
WIDER
ROBOTNIK (CONT.)
What's taking so--
Sleet quickly puts his finger between his
lips to shush him, then he points at the bug.
ON ROBOTNIK
Robotnik's eyes widen.
EXT. STRANGE COMPUTER ROOM
We see outside is a whole dump.
SWAT BOT'S P.O.V.
We see a computer vision. One dot is blinking
in the pile.
SWAT BOT (V.O.)
Target sighted.
INT. STRANGE COMPUTER ROOM
The wall bursts open and SWAT Bots enter.
SWAT BOT Freeze! You are under arrest!
EXT. STREET
Aleena is still looking out using binoculars.
ALEENA'S P.O.V.
We see Aleena looking through the binoculars.
Then we see Cyrus and Trevor being taken in by the SWAT Bots in the building.
ALEENA (V.O.)
(annoying voice)
Well it's about time.
The bots walk in with the prisoners.
ON ALEENA
Aleena removed her binoculars and she picks
up a lazer rifle.
ALEENA Time to rock 'n roll!
She gets up and runs to the building again.
EXT. STRANGE COMPUTER ROOM
We see that the place has a huge burning hole
in it. Sonic screeches to a halt in front of it with Sonia and Manic. The three
enter it.
ON SONIA
The
SONIC (V.O.)
Cyrus! Trevor!
MANIC (V.O.)
You two dudes here!
SONIA
It's Sonia! Where are you guys?
The
SONIC
They're not here.
MANIC
Can't find them.
ANOTHER ANGLE
SONIA
They can't just disappear. What if Robotnik
got them?
SONIC
Then we better get them! Come on!
Sonic speeds off.
EXT. STRANGE COMPUTER ROOM
Sonic speeds out at Super Sonic speed. Sonia
and Manic jog out slowly following him. Then Sonic speeds back.
SONIC
I take it you don't have my speed, do you?
MANIC
Nope.
SONIA
Sorry, don't.
Sonic grabs their wrists and speeds off with
them.
INT. PRISON CELL
Cyrus and Trevor are thrown in the cell. Outside
of the cell is Robotnik.
ROBONTIK
I hope you two can explain yourselves. 'Cause
if you don't, you'll be robotosized.
Robotnik walks away with an evil laugh.
CUT TO:
A blue blur speeds to the building.
CLOSE ON ENTRANCE
The blur stops and we see Sonic, Sonia, and
Manic standing right in front of the door that doesn't seem to be a way to open
it.
SONIC
Okay, we're here.
He tries to push on the door, but it doesn't
open.
SONIC
It wont open!
SONIA
We need to think of another way to enter.
ON MANIC
Manic looks on the ground and smiles. He
bends over and picks up a nail.
SONIA (V.O.)(CONT.)
Look around and see if there are any windows.
Manic walks off frame.
ON SONIC AND SONIA
SONIA (CONT.)
Or try to find some underground passage way,
or we could--
MANIC (V.O.)
(interrupts)
Or we could try the front.
WIDER
We see Manic standing next to an unlocked
door while tossing the nail in his hand.
SONIC
Whoa, how did ya do that, bro?
MANIC
I was taught how to pick locks.
SONIA
Enough chit-chat, we got to get Cyrus and
Trevor!
The three hedgehogs run inside the building
leaving the door open behind them.
CUT TO:
EXT. OTHER SIDE OF BUILDING - SAME TIME
On the other side of the building, Aleena
runs up to the wall and looks around. She then gets a grip on some of the holes
in the wall and begins climbing up a few feet to the window.
We see Aleena climb in through the window and
inside the building.
ALEENA
Finally my children reunited. I just better
hope they stay that way.
She stands up and runs down the hall.
INT. CORRIDOR
The hedgehog are tip-towing down the
corridor.
CLOSE TO FLOOR
We see a LASER BEAM across the bottom of the
floor. Sonic's feet step over it missing it. Sonia's feet step over also
missing it. But Manic's foot steps right in it!
INT. COMPUTER ROOM
The SILENT ALARM is triggered on one of the
computers.
Robotnik runs inside and looks at his
monitors.
ROBOTNIK
What is it?
ON MONITORS
We see the hedgehogs on one monitor.
ROBOTNIK
It's them! The hedgehogs!
Sleet and Dingo step behind Robotnik.
SLEET
Want us to take care of them, sir?
Robotnik turns and smiles at them.
ROBOTNIK
Please do!
CUT TO:
INT. PRISON HALLWAY
Aleena steps in the prison corridor just to
see a bunch of empty cells.
CLOSE ON ALEENA
Aleena pulls back her hood and looks around.
A voice is heard behind her.
VOICE (V.O.)
Aleena, it's me.
Aleena turns around. We PAN OVER to see who
it was. It was Tails.
ALEENA
You certainly like to pop out of everywhere,
don't ya.
TAILS
Hobby of mine.
ALEENA
I know my kids are in the building. If they
want Cyrus and Trevor out, I got to help them.
Aleena turns around and begins to pick up a
jog down the hall.
TAILS
Aleena, wait! The prophecy!
After hearing that, Aleena stops in her
tracks. She slowly turns around to face Tails.
ALEENA
Oh yeah, but if Robotnik captures them, then
it wont come true.
TAILS
Wrong, the Oracle says it will come true!
ALEENA
But... but... I can't bare to see them hurt
or captured or... my children.
As she speaks, she slowly gets on one knee
and begins sobbing.
CLOSER
Aleena puts her palm on her face as she
tears. Tails places his arm around Aleena in comfort.
TAILS
It's okay. It'll be fine. The prophecy
doesn't say you're not allowed to see me. I'll be with Sonic, Sonia, and Manic.
We can talk about how well they're doing. We could exchange messages to each
other. That way, you'll still be in touch with your children and you'll still
promise the prophecy.
Aleena looks up at him. She then smiles.
ALEENA
Thanks, Tails. Wish I could adopt you as
another son.
TAILS
Me too, that way, you can have four children
but only suffer the pain of childbirth of three!
Aleena giggled at that remark.
TAILS
So, come on and stand up. It'll be all beter
someday.
Tails helps Aleena stand, even though Aleena
is taller than him.
WIDER
TAILS
Now that you feel better, what are you going
to do?
CLOSE ON ALEENA'S FACE
Aleena SMIRKS and EVIL GRIN.
ALEENA
I'm going to kiss some robutt.
The two got up and started RUNNING.
We then FADE OUT.
