Sonic:Uh-huh.
[Sonic looks at Tails.]
Sonic:We can't let them follow us through the ring portal, let's fight them off a little, then find a hiding spot to leave. Let's split up. You go high, I go low.
Tails: Right.
[Sonic stretches.]
Sonic: Quick little stretch and here we go.
[Sonic rides the remains of the Badnik as a snowboard and slides through the snow. A barrage of aerial Badniks and Buzz Bombers chase after him]
Sonic: Oh, so you want to play?
[Sonic continues to snowboard as the Buzz Bombers shoot lasers at him from their stingers]
Sonic: That's new.
[Sonic is tossed into the air and being chased by the Badniks, with Tails taking notice]
Tails: Sonic!
[Tails goes in to try and help but is kept away by the explosions and lasers.]
Tails:WHOA!Whoa!
[Especially the ones being fired by Robotnik. With Knuckles, he scowls. He then punches a Badnik and uses its remains as a snowboard as well and follows Sonic. Speaking of which, Sonic is still being chased by Badniks shooting lasers at him until he gets a handful of snow]
Sonic: Snowball fight!
[Sonic throws dozens of snowballs at the Badniks, making them all crash]
Sonic: (Laughs) It's too easy. Come on, challenge me!
[As Sonic says that...]
Badniks:Challenge Accepted.
[Sonic heads straight toward an enormous army of Badniks in front of him that shoot lasers at him. He then leaps off his snowboard with time slowing down as he leaps through the lasers while blowing Badniks up]
Sonic: We are talking style and pizzazz.
[Sonic lands on a Buzz Bomber and fires its artillery - making shooting noises - at several other Badniks until he eventually gets back onto his snowboard]
Sonic: Yeah! I make this look good!
[Through the debris, Knuckles reveals himself as he heads straight toward Sonic]
Sonic: (Annoyed) Oh, great. The Knucklehead.
[Knuckles is right beside Sonic, trying to shove him off and makes him collide with a curved rock. Sonic looks around to see Knuckles bursts out of the forest on his right and dodges, making him hit the trees on the left]
Sonic: For a guy named Knuckles, you are really bad at punching.
Knuckles: Surrender the compass! You are no match for me. I've been training for this my entire life.
Sonic: And I have no training at all, yet here I am ahead of you. That's gotta be embarrassing.
[Sonic slides off a ledge, only for Knuckles to pound it to pieces and making Sonic lose his balance. Sonic then slips to the edge of a cliff, spilling his pouch and all his Rings.]
Sonic: My Rings!
[Sonic notices Longclaw's feather and immediately grabs it and looks at it with a sigh of relief.]
Sonic:At least I didn't lose this.
[Sonic climbs onto the top of the ledge and puts the feather back in his pouch, only to be met by Knuckles]
Sonic: Has anyone ever told you you've got serious anger issues?
Knuckles: You mock me with your weak jokes, but you know nothing about me, Hedgehog.
Sonic: Well, I know you Echidnas have a habit of showing up uninvited and ruining my life.
Knuckles: Ruining your life? Another bad joke. I lost everything because of you.
"Knuckles has a flashback."
"Location: Echidna village, daytime, a decade or longer ago."
Knuckles: My tribe was on the verge of its greatest victory. The last of the Owl warriors had been located. Soon Longclaw's Emerald secrets would be ours.
[A young Knuckles is holding a spear, but is stopped by his father]
Knuckles: But my father stopped me from joining the fight. He said my moment to honor our tribe would come, but it was not this moment.
[Knuckles' father leave with young Knuckles watching sadly as the sky darkens]
Knuckles: Those were the last words he spoke to me.
"The flashback ends."
"Location: Siberia, daytime, Today."
Knuckles: I never saw him again.
Sonic: We both lost everything that day.
"A flashback begins."
"Location: Sonic's Island, daytime, a decade or so ago."
[Sonic is forced leave as the Echidnas attack and sees Longclaw on the other side of a Ring portal as the Echidnas charge]
Longclaw: Goodbye, Sonic.
Young Sonic: No! Longclaw!
"The flashback ends."
[Young Sonic's cry echoes, revealing a sad Sonic. Knuckles softens before getting tied up by Tails with electric wire ropes]
Tails: Sonic! Are you okay?
Knuckles: DECEIVER!
[Knuckles struggles to get out]
Sonic: No-no-no, it wasn't a trick! Tails, take the compass and get out of here!
[Sonic gets the compass out and tosses it to Tails, only for Robotnik to get in front of him and grab it before him]
Tails(Slow-motion):No!
Robotnik(Slow-motion):Yeah! (Normally) Later, haters!
[Robotnik shoots a rocket from his Egg Mobile that is aimed right at Tails. The rocket blows up behind Tails. Tails is thrown off course and falls]
Sonic: Tails!
[Sonic zooms toward Tails and finds him in the snow, unconscious, while Knuckles launches himself back on the Egg Mobile]
Sonic: Tails, come on. Wake up.
Knuckles: He chose helping the fox over pursuing the compass.
Robotnik: Of course he did. New friend, same pathetic weakness.
[Knuckles looks at Robotnik sternly. Suddenly, the ground shakes as they look to see a massive avalanche head right toward them]
Sonic:Oh, no. No, no, no. Okay, we're in real trouble here. Come on, Tails. I need you to fly us out of here. Time to wake up.
[The avalanche starts to pick up speed]
Robotnik: See ya, kids. Enjoy the fresh powder!
[Knuckles and Robotnik fly off as Sonic mounts Tails over his shoulder and gets on his snowboard to try and outrun the avalanche.]
"Location:Hawaii, Daytime."
[Everyone sits down for the wedding. The ring barrer holds up the pillow with the rings and gives it to Rachel and Randal. The tornado swoops along the sky with a banner reading "RACHEL & RANDALL 4EVA". The crowd applaud, with Rachel chuckling]
Rachel: Did you...
[Allows Randall to kiss her hand.]
"Location:Siberia, Daytime."
[Sonic gets out his phone and dials Tom's number]
"Location:Hawaii."
Priest: These rings... signify the...
[Suddenly, Tom's phone starts ringing with the Green Hill Zone theme, interrupting the ceremony. Tom picks it up and turns it off]
Tom: (Chuckles) Sorry. Thought it was on silent.
Priest: These rings...
[Tom's phone starts ringing again]
Woman in crowd: Oh, really?
Rachel: So help me, Thomas!
Tom: Uh, uh, uh, uh. It's just...
[Tom picks up his phone with a message.]
"EMERGENCY! CALL ME BACK NOW".
Tom: Okay, sorry, sorry. Excuse me, this is an emergency. Sorry.
[Tom walks away from the wedding and picks up the phone]
Tom: WHAT?! This better be important. I just... Are you skiing?
Sonic: Snowboarding, actually. But I need your help now. Life or death situation this very second. I need you to use the Ring I gave you to save me. Like right now!
Tom: Okay, slow down, slow down. I don't even know where you are.
Sonic: You just gotta picture where you want the Ring to go. So picture this.
[Sonic shows the hillside he is snowboarding on to Tom through his phone]
Tom: Oh, my God. Okay, okay. Hang on.
[Tom gets out the Ring and throws it, only for the Ring to land to the ground and do nothing at all]
Tom: What?
Sonic: Did you throw it?
[Tom runs towards the Ring picks it up and reads it, discovering that it is Rachel's wedding ring]
Tom: Oh, God.
Sonic: What? What? Tell me wh-what "Oh, God."
Tom: I think I mixed up the rings when I was teasing Jojo.
Sonic:What? Where is it then? Where is it?!
[Tom looks to see that Randall is about to put the Ring on Rachel's finger]
Tom(Dreading):You don't want to know.
To Be Continued.
Ky Notes:I was gonna namedrop Knuckles' dad "Locke" but then I realized Paramount probably didn't get the license to use his name, so I understand why they kept his name vague.
