Scenes with Mirror Knuckles 46
[Knuckles is seen pacing around with Amy and Sticks watching him.]
Knuckles, I see you're upset. But...
KKnuckles
Don't bother trying to get me to talk about my feelings!
Actually, I was gonna try to get you to stop killing my grass.
KKnuckles
Sonic the Luck Monkey beat me in Gopher Ball by getting totally lucky!
I thought you didn't want to talk about your feelings.
KKnuckles
I don't! I just wanna yell!
We all get into a slump now and then.
KKnuckles
I'm not in a slump.
Oh, really? How many times have you lost to Sonic this week?
KKnuckles
[Starts counting with his fingers.] I told you. I don't want to talk about this!
Maybe, there's a disturbance in the Luck Balance of the Universe.
KKnuckles
That could happen? Stupid universe.
What you need to do is burn through the rest of this losing streak, by bringing yourself as much bad luck as you can, as fast as you can, to speed up shifting the Luck Balance of the Universe, back the way it was, before this all happened!
[Amy and Knuckles stare at each other.]
Yeah. That's right. You heard me.
Shift the luck balance of the universe? Really?!
[Reading a book before noticing Knuckles.] Oh man, Knuckles. You okay?
KKnuckles
[Covered in bruises.] Am I okay? Are you okay, you mean?! [Flicks Sonic's nose.] Or are you getting too nervous about the Gopher Ball beat down heading your way. [Coughs and wheezes] Give me a minute! It's hard to trash talk with a punctured lung.
Looks to me like you're not in much condition to play anything.
KKnuckles
Ha! You only think I'm not in much condition to... whatever you said! But, in fact, I finally tipped the luck balance of the universe back in my favor! Your lucky streak is over, Sonic! Brace yourself, my friend. 'Cause there's nothing but sunny skies ahead for this- Oof! [Is suddenly crushed by a refrigerator.]
[Meteors are raining down with Knuckles at the bottom trying to get hit by one of them.]
KKnuckles
Come on, meteors! Take your best shot!
You've got to do something! He's going to hurt himself!
What do you suggest we do?
You could lose to him on purpose.
What else ya got? [Tails and Amy have no other ideas. Sonic sighs.] I'll talk some sense into him. Leave it to me. [Jumps down and runs to Knuckles.] Knux, you're wasting your time with this luck stuff. I've been beating you lately entirely due to skill.
Skill! By the way, I beat you in this argument just now.
KKnuckles
You didn't win yet, because I'm still saying the word 'luck'. Luuuuuck!
[Knuckes gets crushed by a meteor while Amy facepalms at this.]
Can we discuss this somewhere else?
[Sonic helps Knuckles from under the meteor.]
So, Knux, I was kinda hoping we could get you to stop this nonsense before an asteroid pulverizes you into baby food. Any suggestions?
KKnuckles
Admit that luck is the only reason you've been beating me all this time!
How about we have a rematch right now? Skill vs. Skill!
[Knuckles smiles agreeing to the idea.]
[Sonic and Knuckles are about to play another game of Gofaball.]
Go ahead. Take your shot.
KKnuckles
Don't you feel the ground rumbling?
[Knuckles swings and the ball ends up hitting Eggman's Eggmobile when he was passing by.]
Okay, that there was a little weird. I'll give you that.
KKnuckles
A little?! Are you kidding me?!
[Sonic skids to a stop right in front of Eggman. Amy, Sticks, and Tails arrive just after.]
So Eggman, what makes you think this stunt will go any better than the last dozen or so you've pulled?
The Luck Balance of the Universe. That's what!
What? You believe that stuff, too?
[Knuckles runs up behind them.]
KKnuckles
Sorry I'm late. What can I do to-
[The roof falls down from the sky and lands on the ground.]
I'm unscathed! I'm a little schmitzy! But no matter. It's also laundry day!
[Eggman turns around, Orbot and Cubot follow.]
[Singing] Today is my lucky day!
[Knuckles walks up, holding his head.]
KKnuckles
You guys okay? Wow, that was nuts. I can't believe that.
We had him cornered. What are you doing here?
You're not helping! You're just bad luck! I have an idea. Since you and your bad luck just hurt our side, why don't you just join Eggman and make it official?
KKnuckles
Fine! If that's how you're gonna be about it, I'm gonna work with someone who appreciates me! [Knuckles runs off angrily.]
Knuckles, come back! [Sonic walks up next to her.]
Hold up. Let's let this play out.
[Dr. Eggman is floating in the Eggmobile above the destroyed building. The villagers, frightened, look up at him.]
Attention, village. Your panicked screaming and fear-addled hysteria have so charmed and delighted me these past few moments, that I wish to extend my appreciation by debuting for you my most extravagant ode to destruction yet. Behold: the Mega!
[Eggman's giant robot, called the Mega, appears in front of the villagers, and the villagers gasp in horror.]
I call him that because he's seven percent bigger than my other robots.
[Eggman, Orbot, and Cubot turn to see Knuckles walking up to them.]
KKnuckles
Eggman, I'm through with Sonic. I'm joining your side.
[Eggman, amused, flies in a circle around Knuckles.]
Ah! A defector has come to join the winning team. More good luck!
KKnuckles
Pretty cool robot. [He approaches the enormous robot.] New?
Yeah, nice, right? Safe to say my best ever. [Eggman pushes a button on his wrist control. The robot starts moving, but suddenly, due to Knuckles' bad luck, its head explodes. The crowd gasps while Knuckles looks at the robot, puzzled.] Though, it's basically a prototype. [The robot places its hand in the hole where its head exploded and pulls out a bomb.] Never really tested it in the field before, but the designs look really sound. [The bomb starts beeping, and the robot places it back into its body.] So, I figured with this string of good luck I've been having. [The bomb in the robot detonates, causing the body to rocket into the sky and completely explode. Parts rain down across the village, yet interestingly, Eggman chuckles happily.] Hey, now it's tested, and I don't have to clean up the mess. [Eggman turns to Knuckles.] Good luck with that, suckers! [Eggman leaves with Orbot and Cubot.]
[Knuckles feels really depressed.]
KKnuckles
Wow, my bad luck follows me wherever I go.
[Sonic, Amy, Sticks, and Tails walk up to Knuckles.]
Or, is it good luck? After all, our side won.
KKnuckles
But I was on the other side.
No, you weren't. I sent you on a secret mission for us.
KKnuckles
It was so secret... even I didn't know about it.
Yeah. You see, you switched sides, and your bad luck overpowered Eggman's good luck, but you were really on our side, so by losing, you won!
[Everyone is leaving the village together.]
KKnuckles
You know what I've been wondering, though?
Where crazy luck theories come from?
KKnuckles
When the bad luck leaves me... where does it go?
[A large piece of the smashed robot lands right on top of Tails, revealing that Knuckles' bad luck has passed to him. Everyone turns around and sees him lying underneath the heavy metal.]
There's a perfectly good... explanation for this. [The equipment falls onto his head again.]
[Team Sonic is watching a meteor shower over it near a campfire.]
Tails, what are you doing?
[laying down on a rock looking at the sky] Just enjoying this beautiful meteor shower.
[Colorful meteors rain down from the night sky.]
KKnuckles
That one's flying beautifully toward us!
[A meteor flies over Team Sonic and it crashes nearby.]
This could be a major find! We need to approach it cautiously and with great care so that–
Race ya! [speeds off while Knuckles, Amy, and Sticks follow behind]
[as the others catch up] Hah! First!
[Team Sonic notice Eggman, Orbot, and Cubot in the Eggmobile, which had been hovering over the crater.]
That's right, and as the intrepid explorer that first discovered this regal rock, I hearby call "dibs"!
What? You can't call "dibs".
Oh, so now you don't respect "dibs"? What's next? Are you gonna allow "cutsies", flout the 5 second rule, step on a crack without any regard for your mother's spinal column?
KKnuckles
Not cool, Sonic!
Of course I respect "dibs", but you can only call "dibs" if you are touching the thing you desire to "dib".
Ohhh! Well, in that case… [he and Sonic both race to the meteor and touch it at the exact same time]
Did you see the look on his face when he ran off?
KKnuckles
He looked ridiculous! Especially with that stupid mustache!
All right, Noodles. That's enough.
[Thumping is then heard which shakes the ground.]
Whoa. Did you guys feel that?
[The thumping continues and is soon revealed to be coming from the Mega knocking down trees and then arriving at the shack with Sonic, Orbot, Cubot and the other robots. Eggman and the others get into position, ready to fight.]
Remember, warning shots only. I don't want anyone hurt. Got it? [notices the robot's aren't listening] Well, what are you waiting for?
We are programmed only to obey orders after being threatened.
[realizes this and sighs] All right, then. Nobody gets hurt or somebody's gonna get hurt! (Better?)
OCOrbot and Cubot
Yes, sir!
[The robots begin to move forward and attack. Amy and the others begin to destroy the robots.]
Aw, come on! Do you have any idea how much those cost? I mean, between the parts and labor... [Amy destroys a robot with her hammer.] Aw, geez! [Knuckles and Sticks destroy a few robots.]
[Sonic tries to dodge the Mega, but it accidentally knocks him to the ground causing him to land on Eggman.]
He's gonna be feeling that tomorrow.
[2 Bee Bots circle around Sonic and Eggman.]
Hey, Eggman crushed Sonic!
[Tails stops short, seeing the Tailsmobile wedged between some rocks, the fan pointing upwards. Knuckles is sitting on top, in a bucket that's duct-taped to the fan, while Sonic is next to a battery, holding the jumper cables.]
Ha! Initiate "Spinning Blades of Death"!
KKnuckles
"Spinning Blades of Death"? I guess that sounds safe.
[Sonic connects the jumper cables to the battery. The fan begins to spin, spinning Knuckles with it.]
Activating Hyper Mode. [flips a switch on the side of the battery. The fan starts spinning even faster]
[hears his Communicator beep] Oh. [activates it] Sonic here.
Sonic, did you return the book I lent you to the library?
[Knuckles goes flying off the fan in the background]
It's due today! If you don't return it on time, I'll have to pay late fees, Sonic!
Present spatulas! [looks at Tails'] Good. [looks at Sonic's] Very nice. [looks at Sticks' boomerang] Sticks, that's not a spatula. Lose it. [Sticks throws her boomerang and glass shattering is heard and looks at Knuckles' hat] Knuckles, your hat is on backwards.
KKnuckles
[turns his hat and himself forwards] Where'd everyone go? [Tails turns Knuckles around]
I'm teach Dave the Intern a lesson he'll neeeeever forget!
KKnuckles
Every teacher I ever had said that, and they were all wrong. I forgot every lesson... and how to feed myself. [puts a carrot in his ear] Oh, false alarm. I do remember.
United Village Defenders of the Village, UNITE!
KKnuckles
Really not a good time for me. I kinda have other plans.
TATails, Amy, Sticks
What?!
[In a Mirror Dimension, a broken Mirror Crab Bot is seen flying across the land. Mirror Tails is chasing a Mirror Motobug, but Mirror Amy breaks it with her hammer. Mirror Sticks throws her boomerang towards a Mirror Crab Bot and destroys it. An Mirror Octopus Bot emerges out of the bushes. It shoots ink at Team Sonic. The ink touches the ground and Mirror Sonic slips on it.]
MSMirror Sonic
I could use some help here.
MDMirror Dave
I'm all over it. [Sonic falls over] Anyone order a butt-kicking with a side of pain and extra humiliation sauce?
[They mess up Mirror Eggman's windshield. The Octopus Bot shoots a laser that directly hits Amy at her feet, blowing her up in the air.]
MKMirror Knuckles
[riding on a pair of Hoverboards, catches her before she falls to the ground] I always knew you'd fall for me.
MEMirror Eggman
Knuckles the Echidna, my arch-nemesis.
MKMirror Knuckles
You never learn, do you, Egghead. You'll never defeat my team!
MSMirror Sonic
We're a team? We should get matching uniforms!
MKMirror Knuckles
Oh, Sonic. Uniforms by definition match. [Pats Sonic's head] Now, if you'll excuse me, the grown-ups have some work to do. [releases one of his Hoverboards that destroys a Mirror Crab Bot and tries hitting the Octopus Bot with the other Hoverboard, which hits Mirror Octopus Bot on the underbelly.
[The Mirror Octopus Bot catches smoke and falls to the ground. Knuckles unleashes the ground pound to finish it off. The shockwave blows back a few more Mirror Crab Bots and blasts the Mirror Octopus Bot up in the air, which then crashes back to the ground. It then emits a red and blue energy beam that merge together and directly hit Knuckles.]
MSMirror Sonic
Nooo! [tries to save Mirror Knuckles, but he is too late, as Mirror Knuckles gets warped away before he can reach him]
[catches a chili dog with a body dive before it hits the sand] Oh, got it! That was almost the worst disaster imaginable. [eats the chili dog] Mmm…
[Team Sonic is having a baroque outside Sonic's Shack. Tails and Amy sit at the table while Sticks works the grill. Suddenly, Mirror Knuckles appears out of thin air]
Yargh! Kill it with fire!
Calm down, it's just Knuckles.
Oh. [shouting] Kill Knuckles with fire!
You were supposed to get hamburger buns.
MKMirror Knuckles
In mid-battle? Sweet Amy, there will be time for your delicious burgers after we've defeated that dastardly deviant Eggman.
And impressive alliteration. You've been taking night classes?
KKnuckles
Hey guys! [walks in, carrying a tray full of burger buns and looks at his Mirror doppelganger; they stare at each other] Who's the beefcake?
