[Location: Seaside Island, canyon, day.]

[Sonic is chasing Eggman in his Eggmobile.]

Sonic: "You can't lose me, Egghead!"

Dr. Eggman: "Eggman! You know my name is Dr. Eggman! You do that on purpose!"

Sonic: "Do what, Egghead?"

[The chase continues, but Sonic is eventually forced to stop, teetering on the edge of a cliff.]

Sonic: "Who-o-oa!"

[Sonic manages to get back to safety. The camera zooms out to reveal Dr. Eggman way up above.]

Dr. Eggman: "It all ends here, old friend. Prepare to be destroyed by Burnbot!"

[The camera shifts to reveal Burnbot.]

Sonic: "So what, he's gonna burn me with flamethrowers or something?"

Dr. Eggman: "Flamethrower? Well... no..."

Sonic: "Oh, uh, acid? Incendiary grenades?!"

Dr. Eggman: "No no no, the li- claws! He has claws! Very painful claws!"

Sonic: "Then you should have called him "Clawbot" or "The Lacerator" or "Pinch-a-tron 9000." But "Burnbot"? I mean, that's just false advertising!"

Dr. Eggman: "I name the robots, Sonic! Burnbot, attack!"

[Burnbot jumps down and starts speeding towards Sonic. Sonic runs in the same direction, keeping directly across from Burnbot. Overhead, Tails flies by in his plane.]

Tails: Blue Leader, this is Yellow Sky. I have eyes on Burnbot. He's on the move! Over.

Sonic: "Thanks, Tails. Initiate "Speeding Swing Surprise."

[Tails dives his plane into the canyon, sending Eggman into a spin. Tails activates his Enerbeam. Sonic and Burnbot leap at each other as the scene goes into slow motion. Tails flies by, throwing the beam to Sonic. Sonic catches the beam, swings around on it, and delivers a kick to Burnbot, launching him into the canyon wall. Sonic lands on the canyon floor across from Burnbot. Eggman flies down.]

Dr. Eggman: "Get up, get up, get up!"

[Burnbot climbs to its feet, then notices Tails' plane flying overhead. It fires one of its claws at the plane, damaging the wing. The plane goes into a spin.]

Sonic: "Bail, Tails, bail!"

[Tails pulls the eject lever, only for it to break off in his hand. Sonic prepares to rush to help, but is cut off by Burnbot. Sonic dodges one of Burnbot's claws, then sees a large rock poised over it. Sonic jumps over another of Burnbot's attacks, and spins into the rock, dropping it on Burnbot. Sonic leaps up to the top of the canyon.]

Sonic: "Tails, no!"

[Tails' plane crashes to the ground and explodes. Sonic looks on in shock, then races over.]

Dr. Eggman: "We'll be back, Sonic!"

[Eggman activates an electromagnet to pick up Burnbot.]

Dr. Eggman: "Oof, you are heavy. Seriously, Burnbot, you could stand to burn a few calories."

[Eggman flies off with Burnbot. Sonic pulls Tails out of the wrecked plane and listens at his chest. A heartbeat confirms that Tails is still alive. Sonic looks relieved.]

Sonic: "Keep resting, pal. I'll get you home. [Picks Tails up] I promise I'll never let anything like this happen to you again."

[Sonic walks off with Tails.]

[Current location: Tails' House, day.]

[The camera is on a picture of Sonic and Tails fishing, with Sonic holding up a large fish. The camera then pans to a picture of Sonic and Tails playing a video game together. Cut to Tails, who is laying on the couch, bandaged up. He opens his eyes, then sits up.]

Tails: "Sonic?"

Sonic: Hey, buddy! How ya feelin'?

Tails: I'm great! Ready to get back in action!

Sonic: "yeah, uh... about that, um... I've got some great news! You, my friend, are taking Early retirement."

Tails: "Early retirement"?

Sonic: Yeah, you're gonna be able to play lots of golf and spend time with the grandkids!

Tails: I don't have grandkids!

Sonic: Well, now's your chance to get some! Trust me, it's for the best. [hugs Tails] I'll see ya around, pal. [Runs off]

Tails: "...Wait, what just happpened?"

Sonic: [re-enters the door] "Just for measures buddy I'm currently gonna find us a new sidekick once until your fully rested." [leaves again]

Tails: Okay, just checking.

[Scene Change: Seaside Island, beach, day.]

Sonic: "okay time to hand out these flyers . "[The camera reveals that Sonic is talking to flyers he's holding] "And now it's time to check on tails."[hangs one of the flyers on a palm tree]

[Scene Change: Eggman's Lair, day.]

Dr. Eggman: [is reading one of the flyers] "Sidekick tryouts. All qualified candidates welcome. Best candidate gets the job. Resume and references required." Can you believe this?

Orbot: A resume and references aren't unreasonable, sir.

Cubot: Especially in this job market!

[Eggman slams his fist down, scaring Orbot and Cubot into running in circles. Eggman crumples the flyer and throws it at Orbot and Cubot.]

Dr. Eggman: What fool would want to be Sonic's sidekick? Spending every day with him... Enjoying his friendship and respect... Not me, that's for sure! ...Unless...

[Eggman scratches his chin. The camera zooms in on his face, then sinks down to his boots.]

Dr. Eggman: Lousy security camera!

[Eggman lifts the camera back to his face]

[Current location: Foresy, day]

Y/N: *Reads the flyer* "Sidekick tryouts. All qualified candidates welcome. Best candidate gets the job. Resume and references required. This seems like fun!!!

(Jumps off tree and runs toward Sonic's house.)

[Scene Change: Sonic's Shack, day.]

[A line is forming outside. Inside, Sonic is sitting with a clipboard and a pencil]

Amy: I'm Amy Rose, and I'll be auditioning for the job of sidekick.

Sonic: Amy, I know who you are.

Amy: Great, because I am fine with nepotism. Oh, and under special skills, you can add juggling and singing. [singing] Oh, when the Saints go marching in [scatters]

Sonic: Next!

[Y/N is the next interviewee]

Sonic: "So Y/N what's exactly are your weakness?"

Y/n: "I say that would be my heat cycle, but other than that, nothing."

[Sonic soon smiled at Y/N before shaking his hand]

Sonic: "You seem like the perfect candidate. Please have a seat next to my buddy Tails."

[Y/N nods as he sat down next to Tails]

Sonic: "Next!"

[Amy Rose, for some reason, is being interviewed again.]

Amy: Oh, improv? I love improv! [mocks Italian accent] I'm a crazy pizza man! Who juggles and sings! [starts juggling and singing When The Saints Go Marching In again as Sonic pushes her out.]

[Knuckles is the next interviewer, but for some reason, he's the one holding the clipboard and pencil.]

Knuckles: I think you'd be a great sidekick for me.

Sonic: No, Knuckles, I'm looking for someone to be my sidekick.

Knuckles: We'd have to change your name, though. I'm thinking... "Knuckles Junior."

[Sonic grabs back the clipboard and crosses something out.]

Eggman (offscreen): Hello.

Tails: Eggman!

[The camera pulls back to reveal Eggman.]

Sonic: What are you doing here?

Dr. Eggman: My name is Doctor Eggman, and I'm here about the sidekick position. [Holds up a resume]

Sonic: Wh- but you're my arch-nemesis

Dr. Eggman: That's true. But I could be a valuable asset to your organization. For example, I'm a doctor. Not a real doctor, a PhD, but still!

Sonic: You can't be my sidekick

Dr. Eggman: [holds out the flyer] "All qualified candidates welcome"?

Sonic: ...Okay, fine. You And Y/N over there both can move on to Round Two. But one of you is going to be my sidekick until tails is recovered!

[Scene Change: Seaside Island, jungle, day.]

[Doctor Eggman And Y/N are standing on hoverboards.]

Sonic: All right. Being my sidekick is no easy task. This competition will test your strength, stamina, and endurance. The winner will be whomever makes it through all the unimaginable hardships and brings me the red flag I planted atop the incredibly dangerous, but inaccurately named, Mount Safety.

Y/N: That doesn't seems so bad.

[Sonic nods in agreement]

Sonic: 3.2.1 GO!

[Y/N and Eggman soon jumped on their hoverboards and goes down the hill, and Sonic took off to follow and watch the race. As they race through the jungle, Eggman activates the bladed seekers on his hoverboard, and they go after Y/N. Y/N manages to avoid them as he soon arrived at mt safely first]

[Scene Change: front of Mount Safety, day.]

[Y/N jumped off his hoverboard and soon grabbed the flag]

Y/N: YAHOO! I WON!

Dr. Eggman: I'm not here to be Sonic's sidekick, you nincompoop! I'm here to get rid of you both once and for all!

[Eggman activates his electromagnet and picks up Burnbot from the jungle. Sonic sees this and picks up the pace. Burnbot fires its claws at Tails' plane, finally catching it in the wing again. Tails' plane goes out of control again. Sonic picks up the pace further, but has to cut back as he goes sliding across the ice of a frozen lake. Tails' plane is in the middle of it, broken partway through the ice.]

Sonic: Tails!

Tails: Sonic, I'm stuck!

[From above, Burnbot fires its claws, which turn into buzzsaws that cut into the ice, cracking it further. Sonic jumps out to the plane, and helps the struggling Tails out of the cockpit. They manage to get clear just as the plane sinks into the water, and land a ways away.]

Sonic: Tails... I didn't really wanna fire you. I was just trying to protect you.

Tails: How? By putting me in more danger?

Sonic: The plan had holes!

[Sonic helps Tails up.]

Dr. Eggman: Oh, Sonic! I have one last surprise for you! I took your advice! Burnbot can burn things!

[Burnbot fires a pair of fireballs that create a ring of fire around Sonic and Tails, melting and cracking the ice. Tails manages to fly up, but Sonic winds up sliding down the ice into the water and starts thrashing around.]

Sonic: I can't swim!

[Tails flies down and grabs Sonic, trying to pull him up, but fails.]

Tails: You're waterlogged! I can't lift you!

Sonic: Don't worry about me! [tries to let go] Get out of here!

Y/N: Not today!

[Y/N leaped in the sir and used his sonic howl to crack the ice underneath him before jumping in the freezing water helping Sonic and helping tails push Sonic outta the water]

Sonic: Thanks.

Y/N: No problem. Anything to help out the blue blur!

[Sonic soon smiled at Y/N and then looked back at eggman]

Sonic: Alright tails you can let go.

[Tails nods and lets go of Sonic, who goes into a spin and slams into Burnbot. Burnbot's impact cracks the ice under it, causing it to sink into the water. Tails catches Sonic, and they fly into the jungle together.]

Dr. Eggman: I'll be back! With a new robot! Who has an accurate name! And super laser eyes! And he'll feed me ham! Evil ham.

[Eggman flies off in his Eggmobile.]

[Scene Change: Seaside Island, beach, sunset.]

[It is nearing sunset. Sonic , Y/N & Tails are sitting together.]

Sonic: Y/N by the power invested by me I bestow you the newest member of team Sonic!

[Y/N smiled and shook Sonic's hand]

Y/N:. Glad to be working with you and tails Sonic.

[Scene Change: Sonic's Shack, sunset.]

[Amy is angrily ringing the bell of Sonic's shack]

Amy: Lemme in! I demand a call-back!

[Knuckles walks past, looking depressed.]

Amy: Knuckles! What's wrong?!

Knuckles: [sighs] Knuckles Junior isn't workin' out

Amy: Oh... so you're saying you need a..

[Amy follows Knuckles]

Amy: [mocks Italian voice] I'm a crazy pizza man! Who juggles and sings! [sings When The Saints Go Marching In]

Knuckles: Knuckalina!

Hope you enjoyed the chapter!!!
