Let’s see that lunch money.
Charlie, as things aren’t going well between you and I, I have decided to enlist the help of a local police officer to act as a go-between. I think his experience in dealing with tense situations will proof valuable to both of us. [Charlie reaches out his hand, the frightened the Beaver Policeman drops his money in it and leaves. Charlie reaches out once more and Knuckles drops his money too. Charlie is sitting in his armor, Knuckles sneaks up to him] Charlie is not letting up, but I can’t go back to being counter productive, so I’ll take the high road and stay out of his way until he cools off. [Charlie notices him, takes a huge ice cream and smashes it onto Knuckles] I figured it out! All Charlie really wants is a friend. Yeah, he is practically crying out to me for help! [reaches to Charlie] Hello, pal! I baked you this pie! Perhaps we can see a movie together and/or enjoy a frosted beverage.
[grabs the pie and smashed it into Knuckles’ face, then grabs him and throws him into a dustbin] See the wrath of my super villain powers! [Knuckles falls screaming and stops in front of Sonic, Tails and Amy]
Tails
Great news, Knuckles! I think Charlie just let you off the hook.
Knuckles': Really? Because from my perspective, it didn’t go so well.
No, what Tails means is that Charlie just called himself a super villain.
[looks into Counter Productive] Page 235 of Counter Productive - "If the person you’re trying to make up to turns into a super villain, you can forget all that stuff I said about fixing your past mistakes. In that case, knock yourself out."
I know what I have to do now!
(At Hedgehog Village, Sonic wakes up from rubble caused by a damaged wall.)
Ugh.... What happened? I haven't felt this horrible ever since I've seen Comedy Chimp's swimsuit calendar. (shudders) November.
(Sonic gets up, seeing himself wearing a vest.)
And why do I look like a discount-bin action figure?
(At Tails's workshop...)
Tails
Okay, guys. I'll be the first to admit that my speed-boost experiments were a tad inconclusive.
Does "inconclusive" mean the same as "hilarious"?
Tails
Well, you know what they say: no pain, no gain.
(sarcastically) I'm sorry this was painful for you, Tails.
Tails
It's okay. Besides, without your broken ribs, I never would've invented this, (reveals a vest and control panel) my Ultra-Sonic Speed Amplifier!
[beat]
(The gang gives Tails a lukewarm applause.)
Tails
Spare me your halfhearted applause. Once you see what this baby can do, your applause will be at least three-quarter-hearted!
(Tails puts the vest on Sonic)
So, if I wear this thing for six weeks, will my ribs heal properly?
Tails
No. This control panel will deliver amplification signals into your chest plate, allowing you to reach unparalleled speeds, all using state-of-the-art blast-processing technology!
"Blast-processing technology"? Those are just phony-baloney buzzwords to fool the simple-minded!
Blast-processing technology?? Oh, gimme, gimme, gimme!
Tails
Ready to go, Sonic?
Seriously!? After all you put me through this morning...absolutely!!
(Tails activates the panel, sending Sonic dashing off, faster than usual.)
Tails
(via com unit) How are you feeling, Sonic?
Like a hummingbird on his third espresso! Tails, you're a genius! How about a little more juice?
Tails
You got it!
(Back at the workshop, Tails takes a sip from a juice box.)
Tails
And I'll up the levels, too.
(Tails increases the power level, increasing Sonic's speed.)
(Tails increases the levels again, making Sonic fast enough to even jump over the crater!)
Tails
Uh, I don't think we should--
(With Sonic's speed increased even further, he runs back to the lab. He dashes around Knuckles, tapping his shoulder to fool him.)
It wasn't me. It was him!
(Sonic dashes again, this time generating an illusory clone waving casually.)
He's going so fast, he's appearing in two places at once!
But we could always go faster! Tails, crank it!!!
(Sonic begins running out of the lab and toward the village.)
Tails
I really think we should do more tests before we push the--
Think, Sonic -- how did this happen...? Must've been Eggman.
Sonic: Did you miss me? (Destroys a Badnik)
Well, this whole plan kinda hinged on your absence, so, no, not really.
(The scene opens at Sonic's shack, where we see him sleeping)
(sleep-talking) No, stop! You're pure evil! Why are you coloring my arms!?
(Some spit lands on Sonic, causing him to wake up and come face-to-face with a gross creature.)
Ahh! (smells the animal) Ugh! You need a bath and a shower. And to get the heck outta my shack! What are you, anyway?
(The creature bellows, tripping Sonic off his hammock.)
BBeaver
Actually, it's a widabit. A very rare and majestic species.
Doesn't seem so majestic to me.
(At Meh Burger...)
So, how are things at the man cave? You two must be having a blast.
Heck, yeah! I love destroying Tails in Mutant Wrestling every night! Ain't that right, pal?
Tails
(laughs nervously) Yeah...
Uh, I think you mean "Sonic".
No, it says "Sanic" right here.
This'll take a minute. (Rushes off)
Tails
You guys gotta help me! I don't know how much longer I can handle this. Sonic may be my best friend, but living with him is a nightmare! Any idea how much longer the widabit will be staying in Sonic's shack?
Could be months. You can't hurry love.
Tails
But maybe you can push it along...
Tails
Finally! My matter transporter is finished!
Tails
Better do a test run, just to be safe.
I heard Meh Burger removed artificial dyes from their food. Now their patties are naturally gray.
Tails
(monotone) Hey, guys!
Tails
Is it that obvious? I was hoping no one would notice.
(Tails flies to the cavern containing the trapped Beebots.)
Tails
I received your messages, my worker bees. (Shuts off the force field as the Beebots gather) Yes! GATHER! SWARM!! FOR I AM THE KING OF THE BEEBOTS!
(Tails laughs manically as he rallies the Beebots against his friends.)
Tails, what's come over you??
Tails
Gone is the useless fox you all once knew! I finally understand my true power! I've become one with the hive! Beebots, ATTACK YOUR CAPTORS!
