Chapter 1 - Episode 2: Sonic Forces

(The next episode begins on an island in the middle of the ocean. We meet another discombobulated hero facedown in the sand. It's Sonic the Hedgehog. He slowly gets up rubbing the back of his head looking around.)

Sonic: Huh? Where am I?

???: So you're finally up. (The camera pans and we see that the voice is coming from Solid Snake. He walks up to Sonic with a cigarette in his mouth.) With how long you were like that I thought you were dead.

Sonic: Where are we...and who are you?

Snake: You can call me Snake, and as for where we are...I have no idea.

Sonic: (Holds out his hand.) I'm Sonic, Sonic the Hedgehog, and I'm the fastest thing alive

Snake: (Chuckles and holds out hand.) It's a pleasure. (They shake.)

Sonic: So, do ya got any ideas on how to get off this island.

Snake: I'm calling Otacon.

Sonic: Who?

Snake: Otacon. He's a colleague of mine. I'm calling him to pick us up. (He calls Otacon on his codec.) Otacon, this is Snake...(Sonic wanders off near the shore and sees a pirate ship in the distance.)

Sonic: Hey, Snake! There's a ship over there!

Snake: (Now done with his call.) Huh?

Sonic: There's a ship! If we can signal them we've got a way out of here!

Snake: (Walking over.) That's a risky move. Anyone could be on that ship.

Sonic: I need to get out of here fast. All of this is probably Eggman's doing and I need to find Tails. Do you have anything to signal them with?

Snake: Listen, Blue, we have no idea where we are. Anything could be on that ship. (Taking a blow on his cigarette and throwing it on the ground.) But I suppose if you really need outta here that bad I can signal them for you.

(Snake takes out a pistol and shoots three shots into the air. The ship starts turning around and heads toward the island that Sonic and Snake are on.)

Sonic: Thank you, Snake, and I promise that once I get off this island I'll find a way to get us back home.

Snake: No problem, Blue.

(We cut to the ship finally reaching the shore and a plank is thrown down from the ship onto the sand. Sonic hesitantly steps onto it.)

Sonic: (Waving.) Bye, Snake. Hope to see you again someday. (He runs onto the ship and Snake starts to walk away. Suddenly, a thud is heard and Snake turns around. Snake pulls out his pistol and goes up the plank onto the ship. We finally see who's on the ship. A pirate crew full of kremlings is on the ship and are tying up an unconscious Sonic to the mast. Snake aims his pistol but is knocked unconscious by a kremling with a club.)

(We cut to Snake waking up. He looks over to see an awake and distraught Sonic. In front of him he sees kremlings singing and dancing around the deck. Amidst all of the kremlings is their captain: King K. Rool. All of Snake's weapons are being kept on some crates not too far from the mast which Sonic and Snake are tied to.)

Sonic: Snake, I'm sorry. I should've listened to you.

Snake: Now's not the time for apologies. We need a way out of here.

King K. Rool: (Laughing.) Master Mind said that there were some no-good heroes lurking around this new world, but he sure didn't say that they would come right to me.

Sonic: Wait. Who's Master Mind?

King K. Rool: He's the most powerful thing in the universe and he offered me a lot of money to kidnap whatever lowlifes I find on the seas. (Jabs his finger in Sonic's face.) I bet he'll make you into a fine fur rug. (Laughs until Sonic bites his finger and he jerks it back. He looks at his finger for a second before socking Sonic in the face.) Know your place, furball. (Points to two kremlings.) You two, watch them. Make sure they don't do anything funny.

Kremlings: Aye aye, Captain K. Rool.

King K. Rool: As for everyone else, it's dinner time. (K. Rool and the kremlings leave. The two remaining kremlings guard Sonic and Snake with cutlasses.)

Snake: (To Sonic.) Are you okay?

Sonic: Yeah, I'm fine. Do you have any ideas on getting outta here?

Kremling: Quiet, furball! Unless you want to take a dip in the sea.

Snake: You don't happen to know how to swim do you?

Sonic: (Looks away embarrassed.) This is going to be a long ride.

(The camera pans underwater. We see cheep cheeps and even a magikarp. Finally we see a new hero, Raziel, swimming up near the surface. He notices the ship.)

Raziel: Now, what is this? It wouldn't hurt to take a look would it? (Raziel emerges from the water and climbs up the ship and looks over at Sonic and Snake. Whispering.) Pirates. Of course. Best take care of them. (Raziel takes out the Wraith Blade and silently walks closer to our tied up heroes. When he gets close enough he stabs a kremling in the back. The other one advances on Raziel but he is also stabbed by the Wraith Blade and falls to the ground.)

(Downstairs, where the kremlings are eating, one of them hears what's going on upstairs and goes to tell King K. Rool. Upstairs, Raziel has freed Sonic and Snake. Snake is making a call to Otacon.)

Sonic: Man oh man. Thanks for the help uhhh...

Raziel: Raziel.

Sonic: Uhh... yeah. Raziel.

Snake: (Done with his call.) Otacon is coming to get us. We'll be off this ship soon enough.

Sonic: What if that K. Drool comes back?

Raziel: K. who?

King K. Rool: (Holding his blunderbuss.) King K. Rool: the most dreaded pirate on these seven seas. Pleasure to meet you, shark bait. (Shooting his blunderbuss. Our three heroes jump out of the way.) Seize those scallywags! (The kremlings charge.)

(Sonic and Raziel immediately run towards the kremlings as Snake goes to retrieve his gear. As soon as he reaches it K. Rool punches him to the ground. Snake quickly gets up and shoots K. Rool twice in the stomach. It hurts him but ultimately doesn't do much. We then see Sonic spin dashing across the deck hitting any kremlings in his way. Sonic spin dashes past Raziel who is having a sword fight with a kremling. The kremling swings at Raziel who dodges and stabs the kremling. Snake throws a punch at K. Rool but K. Rool counters it by sucking Snake into his blunderbuss and shooting him out into Sonic. Raziel is cornered by a gang of kremlings but is saved when Sonic homing attacks them all in rapid succession. Snake pulls out a machine gun and shoots around him. We cut to a shot of a helicopter advancing towards the pirate ship. It hovers a few feet from the ship)

Snake: Everyone, get on! (Sonic and Raziel jump into the helicopter. Snake attempts to jump on but is pulled back by K. Rool.)

King K. Rool: You're not going anywhere.

Snake: Go! Now! (The helicopter starts to fly up.)

Sonic: We can't just leave him!

Otacon: We're not. Throw down that rope ladder. (Sonic and Raziel throw the rope ladder down and it descends above the water a few feet from the ship. We cut back to K. Rool running towards Snake. He dives at him but Snake slides under him. He runs and jumps off of the ship and barely grabs onto the rope ladder. Snake climbs up as we see K. Rool and the kremlings scouring in the helicopter's direction.)

Snake: (Climbing into the helicopter. Jokingly.) What took you so long?

Otacon: Kept you waiting, huh?

Raziel: So where do we go now?

Sonic: We need to find this Master Mind guy.

Raziel: Who?

Sonic: I'm guessing he's the guy who brought us here. So if we find him, we'll have a way out.

Snake: Otacon, take us to the nearest city.

Otacon: Got it, Snake!

Sonic: I just hope that everyone else is alright. (The helicopter flies into the sunset.)
