[A blue hedgehog is running up a mountain path at a very quick pace, then runs down again. He takes a quick corner near a steep cliff. He eventually makes it to the ground and runs along a path. A brown fox catches up to him, flying with his tails. He waves at the heddgehog and shakes his hands. He lets go as he suddenly stops and goes into a Triple Spin. The fox covers his eyes as the hedgehog suddenly dashes off at a very fast speed, causing the pathway to lift off the ground as he passes by.]
MPMiles "Tails" Prower
Hey Sonic, wait up!
[Tails charges up with his tails and speeds up, chasing down Sonic. Sonic, meanwhile, stops at a dark-looking tree on top of a hill. Tails catches up.]
Boy, I thought we'd never find it.
[They are overlooking other hills and a city in the far distance. Behind the two, a tall, lanky, roughly humanoid robotic rooster is hiding in an artificial bush. He pokes out his head, with a communication headset on.]
I'm ready, are you ready?
[A small, short, stocky teal robot with tank tracks for feet, is nearby, with a communication headset as well, manning a portable control panel with a big red button.]
Ready! ... Um... Tell me what I'm ready for.
[Grounder presses the button on his panel, which springs two hands from the tree, grabbing Sonic and Tails and suspending them in the air. Scratch and Grounder walk over to the tree.]
[They start dancing with joy.]
SGScratch and Grounder
We did it! We did it! We did it! We did it!
Hold it guys, you don't want to do this.
We mean too much to each other.
Yeah, don't you remember how we first met?
Well, it all started before you were born.
[Enter a flashback. Sonic and Tails are standing on the outskirts of an abandoned village.]
[narrating] Tails and I had come to this deserted village...
[A citizen on a second-floor house pokes out of their window.]
CCitizen
We're hiding, and if you have any sense, you'll hide, too!
[The citizen closes the window covers and goes back to their cover. A zipper closes the window covers and a lock shuts it even more.]
[The ground shakes as Sonic and Tails look over and see a large bot with a spiked vest- known as Dragon Breath in Dr. Robotnik's Mean Bean Machine- ripping off an entire wall from a house. He walks in and points at a dog hiding behind a chair.]
DBDragon Breath
Hey, lady! Which way is the bounty hunters' convention? [Lady screams and runs away] Hmm! People aren't very friendly in this town. Guess I'll just have to find it myself!
[He crashes through the wall behind the couch and continues on. Sonic and Tails hide behind a broken wall.]
[Sonic and Tails have been listening]
What's a bounty hunters' convention?
A party for bad guys, Tails. And I'm gonna crash it!
He's out there still! Mocking me with his scurrilous speed! Standing between me and my dream of total domination of Mobius!
[turns on the light] Are you talking about Sonic?
TURN OFF THAT LIGHT!!! Can't you see I'm brooding?
Oh yeah, sorry. [turns it off again]
That's better. As I was saying, I hate that hedgehog! And I want him captured NOW!
But how are we ever gonna find him?
My deluxe highly-calibrated Hedgehog-omitor has picked up his trail in the Marble Zone. You leave at first light! [presses a button, activating a springy platform that sends Scratch and Grounder soaring outside]
So? I'm a little impatient.
Look at this diamondius! Can I take it with us? Huh? Can I?
DROP IT, FOXY! [emerges out of the shadows]
Hey, don't scare my pal like that! Who are–
This is my claim, and I'll ask the questions! And my question is: ya got any lasts requests, afore I let ya have it? [holds a match to a cannon]
Yeah, two requests. Show us how to get out of here, and two dozen chili dogs, with extra onions and cheese, to go!
Chili dogs?! Forget it! Do ya know how much chili dogs cost?! Money don't grow on trees, ya know! You're just like the rest of them - want something of mine for nothing! I got a right mind to blast ya! [aims the cannon at Sonic and lights the fuse]
In that case, gotta roll, troll! [speeds away]
STOP! Ya thievin', trespassin, lootin' no-good varmints!
[runs back to him, annoyed] Hey, you've got us all wrong! We're freedom fighters!
Looks to me like you're freeloaders! And I don't give nothin' for free!
You're making a big mistake, Spelunk! Haven't you ever heard of Dr. Robotnik? The nastiest villain in the history of Mobius?
Let me guess - you don't get out much, do you?
Don't you realize a terrible villain is about to destroy this entire place and steal everything you've got?!
Nope! Don't pay no nevermind to current events!
Hmm. Maybe you should consider a career in politics.
If this doesn't work, I'm going to make chicken broth out of both of you!
Can you make broth out of robots?
[Robotnik growls furiously]
Sure, why not? A little salt, a little pepper, I'm sure we'd be delicious!
[After stopping Robotnik, Scratch and Grounder from stealing Spelunk's treasure]
Good riddance to bad eggs! I never met such unpleasant, rotten, miserly, selfish jerks in my life!
STSonic and Tails
[eyeing him sternly] We have.
(interrogating Breezy) We have ways of making you talk, hedgehog!
Oh, yeah! Right! We got stupid ways to make you talk! So start blabbin', missy!
Tell us where we can find Sonic!
BBreezie
I don't know where he is. I've never even met Sonic!
(zooms in) You have now! (to Scratch and Grounder) Picking on a pretty lady? Don't you bots have any chivalry?
No, but Grounder's got a great trick up his sleeve!
(reveals a glue-gun) My new glue-gun. It'll paste your sneakers right to the pavement!
Yeah, hedgehog! Stick around! Ba ha ha haaa! (Grounder squirts at a fleeing Sonic, missing him.) Hey, fast-draw! You missed! (smacks Grounder again) Wait till Dr. Robotnik hears about this! Ba ha ha haaa!
(aims at him) Not from you! I'll glue your yap shut!!
RGRabbit Gardener
Congratulations! You have reached the Garden of the Mobisia Marvelosa Marigoldias.
Whew... finally. I'm getting pooped.
RGRabbit Gardener
Unfortunately, no one ever returns from here.
And why not? (a streak of fire almost hits him) YIKES!!!
RGRabbit Gardener
The fire dragon won't let 'em.
Who is this?! I can't talk now! I'm waiting for important news from the ice territory!
PBPolar Bear
Ah, listen up, Your Rottenness - Sonic was just here!
Haha, it's working! My sneaky, devious, underhanded scheme is working!
Any sneaky, devious, underhanded scheme in particular?
Yes! My secret agent Breezie has got Sonic running in circles all over Mobius!
Breezie is your secret agent?!
Then why did you send us to capture her?
That was the brilliantly sneaky part of my devious and underhanded scheme!
SGScratch and Grounder
It was?
Yes, you dumb-bots! How else could I get Sonic to think Breezie is on his side?
(after a brief silence) I knew it all the time!
I knew it before you did!
Great acting job I did when we captured her, huh?
(sarcastically) Yeah, great acting. You almost had me thinking Robotnik put a brain in your head!
(punches Grounder, sending him flying into a wall) SILENCE!!!
[showing Scratch and Grounder a new machine] Well, gentlemen, how do you like it?
Yeah, it's the best one we've ever seen!
If we were gonna build ourselves, we'd make it exactly like that.
SGScratch and Grounder
What is it?
[looks frustrated for a moment] It's my new Eggo-Matic-Tunnelizer and Town Terrorizer! [points down to a nearby village] See that ugly empty space in front of my fortress?
It's not exactly empty, Your Maliciousness.
That is that whole village right there.
In six hours, that village will be gone!
Vanished! Destroyed! Obliterated! I'm flooding it! I'm going to tunnel down to the main Mobius reservoir, steal all its water, and turn that town into Lake Robotnik! [laughs evilly]
NO! I want you two to go help Breezie eliminate Sonic! This is one time I'm going to do some rottenness and that hedgehog won't stop me!
But what will happen to all the people?
In a word... they'll all be SUNK! [cackles]
