Sonic: (Losing confidence) Water. Why did it have to be water?

Mika: Come on Sonic we can do this, reminder to you that we'll help each other together!

Sonic: No... (looks down and sighed) no Mika.

Mika: No what do you mean no?

Sonic: I don't wanna lose you again, I lost you for so long, I got you back and here we are, and I don't wanna lose you again.

Mika: Sonic.

Sonic: It's my fault I lost you, I've was looking for you forever, I thought you died!

Mika: Sonic.

Sonic: (Tears up) I'm a loser who lost their childhood friend and you still love me. Even though I stopped looking for you!

Mika: Sonic.

Sonic: And It's my fault that everyone is getting hurt!

[Then Mika justed groaned she had enough of Sonic blamming himself so she grabbed Sonic shoulders and kissed him with so much love and passion to make him shut up and she wrapped her arms around him and the two were in the moment of a bit before the duo separated and Mika smiled]

Mika: Sonic, stop blamming yourself because everyone is hurt it's not because of you, plus I love you for the way you are, I love how cheeky you are and your smile always brighten my day. So Sonic we need to work together to stopped Eggman from getting the emerald.

Sonic: (Takes a deep breath) Okay, we can do this. (Gets into a track start position as Mika held onto Sonic's back) Gotta go fast.

[Sonic takes a deep breath and speeds though the water. Soon the waves start to pick up. Sonic struggles to keep his balance and himself above water, and eventually is washed into the ocean. He regains consciousness and finds himself at the island, witnessing the path to the Labyrinth]

Mika: Sonic we made it... I told you we need to work together.

Sonic: Yeah, thanks Sweetheart.

Mika: Wait did you just gave me a cute nickname!

Sonic: Yep, now lets get that emerald (The duo held hands and went into the Ladyrinth) Let's go!

[Sonic and Mika crashes through the ceiling with a spiked wrecking ball behind them and the duo hi-fived]

Sonic + Mika: Nailed it.

Dr. Robotnik: This guys is always trying to spoil a bad thing!

Sonic: Ah, you guys are here, too? Took the long way, huh?

Mika: You guys my goodness you both got here slower, as me and Sonic got here faster.

Knuckles: Is everything a joke to you? Why must you constantly interfere with my destiny?

Sonic: Because our destiny is to protect our friends and family.

Dr. Robotnik: I think I just threw up in my mouth.

Mika: Wait really.

Dr. Robotnik: No I didn't

Sonic + Mika: And if you want that Emerald, you're gonna have to go... through... us.

[As Sonic and Mika says this, their eyes glow blue, indicating that they is charging chaos energy. Dr. Robotnik gulps. Sonic and Mika then dashes up the stairway. Knuckles builds up his chaos energy and dashes up to a wall across from Sonic and Mika. Sonic takes notice of this and held Mika's hand before leaps to the wall across from Knuckles. The three of them then leap toward each other and collide in midair, exchanging kicks and punches]

Dr. Robotnik: The Echidna's taking no prisoners today! Sonic has heart as Mika has bravery, but will they lose the quill or fur to live?

[Eventually, Sonic, Mika and Knuckles land on the ground, sliding across from one another]

Sonic: We don't want to fight you.

Mika: But you're not giving us much choice!

[Sonic and Mika leaps toward Knuckles, but Knuckles punches them into a waterfall draining from an owl carving]

Knuckles: Too easy. Let's do this.

[Knuckles walks up the stairway, toward the Master Emerald, only to be cut off by Sonic and Mika, who slices through the stairway and makes Knuckles fall backwards. Time slows down as Sonic and Mika proceeds to run up the temple to right and above Knuckles. They proceeds to pound Knuckles further into the ground. Sonic and Mika eventually gets out, only for Knuckles to leap out and rapidly punch at them, only for the duo to dodge every hit]

Knuckles: Why don't you both stand still and die with honor?!

Mika: Die with honor?! Nope we do not.

Sonic: Let me and Mika think about it. Okay, we thought about it and we pass.

[Eventually, Knuckles hits Sonic so hard that he is sent hurdling right outside the entrance to the room and Mika ran to Sonic. Meanwhile, Dr. Robotnik makes it to the Master Emerald]

Dr. Robotnik: Hi there, beautiful. You're the real deal, aren't you? (in Italian) "Where have you been all my life?"

[Sonic regains consciousness and him and Mika looks to see Knuckles holding a boulder in his hands]

Knuckles: Say goodbye, Hedgehog and Rabbit.

[Sonic and Mika looks down and sees that Dr. Robotnik is about to get the Master Emerald]

Mika: Oh no, Knuckles! HE'S STEALING THE EMERALD!

Sonic: Knuckles, stop! Robotnik's stealing the Emerald!

Knuckles: What kind of fool do you take me for?

Sonic + Mika: Just look!

[Knuckles turns around]

Dr. Robotnik: Mine.

Knuckles: [To Dr. Robotnik, alerting him] WAIT! That wasn't the deal!

[Knuckles puts down the boulder he is holding and Sonic and Mika both gets up, Sonic albeit worn out and holding his right arm as Mika held him tightly]

Dr. Robotnik: Oh, you poor, naïve creature. It's not your fault. A more advanced intellect would have seen this move coming a mile away. Or 1.6 kilometers.

Knuckles: [Angrily] But I trusted you! You were my friend!

Dr. Robotnik: [Laughs maniacally] I'm sorry. That just hit me funny. Let this be my final lesson to you, you dim-witted celestial skin tag! Friends are open, honest and vulnerable with each other. Which means X squared times the hypotenuse of Y squared, divided by the absolute value of friendship, equals... DOOKIE!

Sonic: [Dreading] Oh, no.

Mika: This is not good...

[The moment Robotnik touches the Master Emerald, it glows an extremely bright green and sends a shockwave out at Mika, Sonic and Knuckles, sending them backwards. The light dims down and reveals Robotnik holding the Master Emerald above his head, his red suit now black with green outlines]

Mika: What on earth...

Emerald Eggman: CHAOS... IS... POWEEEEEERRRRRRRRR!!!!

[Eggman's voice becomes distorted as he teleports out of sight. The entire labyrinth then starts to collapse and flood with water]

Sonic: Let's get out of here!

Mika: Like right now!

[Sonic and Mika makes a run for it. However, Knuckles gets stuck under a column. The water completely covers him up as Knuckles loses consciousness]

Sonic + Mika: Knuckles!

[There is no response]

Sonic: Water again? Come on!

Mika: We gotta save him.

Sonic: Okay darling.

Mika: Not the right time for nicknames!

[Sonic and Mika jumps into the water. They tried to move the column, but it's too heavy. Sonic breathes in a huge bubble to restrain from breathing the water. Knuckles begins to regain consciousness and sees Sonic and Mika trying to pull the column up. Holding his breath, Sonic motions him that they need to push this column off together. Sonic + Mika counts down from three with their fingers, and together they move the column. With Knuckles free, he swims up to the surface. Sonic tries to speak with his breath held in, but his air bubbles start to exhale out of his mouth, which he covers. Sonic tries to swim, but he only sinks. Sonic struggles to hold his breath and makes a muffled cry for help]

Sonic: (Muffled) I can't swim! Help!

Mika: (Muffled) Sonic!

[Sonic begins to slowly lose consciousness. As Sonic is at the verge of drowning, Mika's hand grabs Sonic's and Knuckles helpped]

ON LAND

[Knuckles and Mika pulls Sonic up on the beach. Sonic coughs for air, trying to suck in the air for his starved lungs and Mika hugged him]

Mika: Sonic!

Sonic: Hey darling, I'm alive still (Looks at Knuckles) You saved me.

Knuckles: Don't talk to me. I'm not in the mood.

[Sonic and Mika throws a ball of sand at him, making Knuckles get on his feet]

Mika: Sandball? Snowball?

Knuckles: How dare you attack me in my hour of sorrow!

[Sonic and Mika throws another sand ball, hitting Knuckles square in the face]

Sonic: Why did you save me, I know my girlfriend save me, but why you save me?

[Sonic prepares another sand ball, but Knuckles throws one large sand ball at him, burying him in sand and Mika laughed]

Mika: (Chuckling) Omg Sonic are you okay?!

Knuckles: Because you and your girlfriend saved me first, which clearly gave you a tactical advantage I do not understand.

[Sonic emerges out of the sand pile]

Sonic: It wasn't a tactic. We couldn't just let you die.

Knuckles: Why? I've been trying to destroy you both since the moment we met.

Sonic: Because being a hero isn't about taking care of yourself.

Mika: It's about taking responsibility for other people Knuckles.

[Knuckles sits down with Sonic and Mika]

Knuckles: Hmm... wise words. An ancient earth proverb?

Mika: No, sir, that's a Wachowski family special. 

Sonic: We got it from a guy in a rowboat. Someone who means a lot to me.

[Sonic looks up and hears something]

Sonic: Wait a second. What's that sound?

[Sonic looks up to see Tails and Sage piloting the Tornado heading for them as Laz was hanging on]

Tails + Sage: Only Sonic the Hedgehog and Mika the Snow bunny needs rescuing this much.

Laz: Hey guys! Sorry we took to long.

Sonic: [Laughs] That sly little fox!

Mika: Sage! Laz! You both are here haha!

[Mika smiled as the Tornado landed and she walked to them and gave Sage and Laz a big hug as Sonic looks to Knuckles, who sits looking depressed]

Sonic: Come on, Knucklehead. We're not beat yet.

Knuckles: On the mountain, you told me you both lost everything. The way I did. But you and Mika seem so hopeful and free. How did you move forward despite failing again? And again. And again. And again. And again--

[Sonic gets a little annoyed]

Sonic: Okay, I didn't fail that much. But I didn't do this all alone. I found a new family. New friends. And you can too.

[Sonic lowers his hand to Knuckles]

Sonic: You don't have to be alone anymore.

[Knuckles looks at Sonic and eventually grips his hand, dislocating his knuckles]

Sonic: Ow, ow, ow, ow! Are you kidding me with that handshake?!

Mika + Sage + Laz: Ouch!

WITH TOM, MADDIE, ANGIE, ATHENA AND LORISE

[A helicopter lands a few yards away. Walters, Angie, Athena, Lorise, Maddie, and Tom come out of the helicopter, with one of the agents escorting them to the Mean Bean Coffee Café]

G.U.N. Mean Bean Agent: Commander.

Commander Walters: Status report.

G.U.N. Mean Bean Agent: Robotnik is in there with Stone and a hostage. Possibly local PD. And I'm not saying he's dumb, but if he is local PD, this town's in a lot of trouble.

Tom + Maddie: Wade.

Angie + Athena + Lorise: Of course it's Wade.

[The doors of the Mean Bean Coffee Café open with steam coming out. Emerald Eggman comes out, levitating up to everyone with green electricity emerging from him]

Maddie: Umm... Okay.

Lorise: I don't like this. Hes scary.

Angie: Yikes.

Tom: Rocking that new spring collection, I see.

Emerald Eggman: Well, if it isn't the Pastry King.

Athena: Pastry king, thats the dummist nickname I've ever heard.

Tom: The Donut Lord. A real genius would remember the name of the guy who helped kick your butt off this planet. And I'll do it again if you mess with Green Hills.

Emerald Eggman: Congratulations on your oh-so-temporary sense of superiority.

Commander Walters: You're finished, Robotnik! We've taken everything. Your lab, your drones, your funding! Let's see how big of a man you are without your silly little robots.

Emerald Eggman: Would you like to see how... big a man I can be?

[With the point of Emerald Eggman's finger, screws and bolts start unplugging from the tanks and vehicles as they start deconstructing themselves]

Emerald Eggman: Welcome... to the new norm.

[Emerald Eggman starts floating up in the air as black clouds start circling around him. More G.U.N vehicles start deconstructing as they are levitated into the cloud, making it grow and swirl]

Commander Walters: My God!

Angie: This is not gonna be great!

[Agent Stone rushes out of the Mean Bean Coffee Café and faces Emerald Eggman]

Agent Stone: [Yelling] Doctor, take me with you!

Lorise: Is he gay?

[Angie and Athena eyes widen trying to not laugh]

Athena: Maybe?

Angie: Or not.

[Agent Stone nods as green lightning carries him by the leg into the cloud as it continues to grow and swirl until it becomes a black tornado that consumes more deconstructed vehicles]

Tom: He's taking everything apart.

Maddie: He's building something.

Angie: And we know it ain't gonna be good.

Athena + Lorise: Yeah.
