Episode 8: Harmonic Hedgehog
In the city of Robotropolis, there is a rocketship that is about to be launched. Robotnik is up to another scheme to stop the Freedom Fighters. Swat-Bots are loading to the ship with different kinds of robots. Then the path moves away as the door closes. Watching from the screen are Dr. Robotnik and Snively.
Snively handles the controls as the computer counts down, "Five… Four… Three… Two… One.. .Ignition."
The rocket is starting to fire from the bottom and begins to take off.
"It's a go, Doctor. The spy ship is being boosted to flight altitude," Snively says.
Then the rocket takes off and head into space.
"My Sky Spy, Snively. A magnificent sight don't you think?" Robotnik replies.
Snively says, "Affirmative, Sir. Magnificent."
If the hedgehogs only knew what was in store for them...it warms my… metallic heart," Robotnik says.
AS the rocket flies into space, a piece of it breaks off and is falling down to Mobius.
In Knothole everyone are still asleep, when something falls from the sky and crashes into the ground.
Hearing the loud crash, Sonic wakes up from his sleep, "What the heck was that?"
Everyone wake up due to the sound and look to see a piece of the rocket on the ground. The Mobians wonder what it and where is come from.
Tails tries to touch it, but Rotor stops him, "Careful, Tails Still hot."
"What is that old thing?" Bunnie asks.
"It's a rocket booster," Sally answers..
"Definitely a Robuttnik war toy," Sonic says, standing on the rocket booster.
"He's up to another one of his evil schemes," Sally concludes.
Eve groans, "What's he up to this time?
"Sally! Eve! Look up there!" Tails says, pointing to the sky.
Everyone look up to see some kind of round metal ball with antennas and other gear in the air.
"Is that some kind of satellite or what?" Bunnie asks.
"Nah; it's too low for a satellite, Bunnie. I bet it's some kind of spy ship," Sally says.
"Which means, this could be trouble," Sonia replies.
After seeing the rocket booster, Sally, Sonic, Eve, Manic, and Antoine tag along with Rotor to his workshop. Rotor is looking through his telescope to see the mysterious object.
"Yeah. You were right on, Sally. It's loaded with all kinds of sensors. Definitely a spy ship," Rotor says, through the telescope to see the ship.
"That way Robotnik might be able to see us and Knothole with that thing," Manic says.
"Exactly," Eve says.
Sonic looks through the telescope, "We're gonna have to trash it."
"But how? It is way up there and we are way down here," Antoine asks.
"I can pick up its signals on my CompuRadio," Sally says.
Then Eve has an idea, "And I think I know how we can get up there, but we'll need the rocket booster to do it.
At the crash site, Rotor put in spark plugs on the controls of the rocket. Sonic and Eve are on a treadmill that is connected to the other end of the plugs.
"We're eady, Rote," Sonic says.
"Go for warp!" Rotor says, thumbs up.
"Then let's get moving," Eve says.
Sonic takes out a Power Ring from his bag and both grab hold of each side. Then they both super speed on the treadmill, making the sparks gain electricity and go super charge the rocket.
"We are cooking now, baby!" Sonic shouts.
"Supercharge city, Sonic!" Rotor says.
"Cool! Yeah, man," Sonic says.
Sonic jumps off and gives Rotor a hi five.
Eve giggles, "Next stop, the spy ship."
Back in Robotnik's lair, they are receiving something from the spy ship. They look on a screen to see a flashing red dot.
Sky spy sensors are sending new data, Sir. We've picked up some… electromagnetic radiation coming from the Great Forest," Snively says.
"This may be it, Snively. Launch a Stealth Bot," Robotnik says.
"Yes, Sir," Snively replies.
Snively presses a green button and a Stealth bot is launched.
"Now, we will find Knothole. Oh, this is good!" Robotnik says, says, taping his fingers together.
In her home, Sally and Sonia are checking out information from the computer radio. Eve is also trying to her the transmission. Antoine is simply watching.
The radio is scramble soo all it says is, "Robotnik… Knothole is… is… hedgehog…"
"Listen. There, " Sally says, trying to work on the computer.
"What kind of tongue is speaking those funny things, eh?" Antoine asks.
"Not sure, it seems to be a transmission of some kind, but it's hard to make up what it says," Eve says.
Sally says, "Nicole, apply voice descrambler."
"Descrambler online, Sally," Nicole says.
Then Nicole apply the data on the computer screen.
Sally looks at the information, "It says… Message from Sky Spy to Robotnik. Sensors probing for… location of Knothole…"
Sonia gasps, "A Sky Spy. Robotnik is using that machine to spy on us."
Antoine gasps in shock.
Eve looks at the computer, "Here's some more… Sky Spy sensors now guiding Stealth Bot into the… Great Forest."
"And it looks like Robotnik's making his move," Sonia says.
"You're right. This is getting serious," Sally says. She then grabs the rope and rings the alarm bell.
The alarm call an important meeting to all the Freedom Fighters. They gather at the meeting place under a thin cave with a tree stump by it.
Sally informs, "I have bad news. Robotnik's spy sensors are zeroing in on Knothole. A Stealth Bot is on its way. Got any ideas?"
Luckily, Sonic, Eve, and Rotor have an idea.
The two get on the treadmill again, and with help of the Power Ring, send power to the electric wire connected with two satellite signals.
"Cool, Sonic. It's juiced," Rotor says.
Sonic and Eve quickly jump off.
"Here it comes," Rotor says, looking through the binoculars to see the Stealth bot.
"It's locked onto our energy field," Rotor adds.
Sonic takes the scopes, "Time to eat your lunch, Stealth Bot."
They see the Stealth bot heading right towards them.
Eve says, "Let's get out of here."
Sonic grabs Rotor and zooms out with Eve close behind. When the Stealth Bot comes close, it ends up getting caught with the magnetic field. Then it begins to fall to the ground. It cuts through the trees and flops down the ground. Then lands in the lake
"Way to go! Scratch one Stealth Bot," Sonic says.
At the crashing sight, Rotor is already in the rocket along. Sonic, Eve, Antoine, Sally, Manic, and Sonai are there as well
Sonic calls out, "Ready to motor, Rotor?"
"Let 'er rip," Rotor answers, sticking his head out of the opening.
Sonic turns to Tails, "Hit it, Big Guy."
"Cool," Tails replies, and presses the red button
Rotor comes out again, "You guys ready to rock 'n' roll?"
"We're ready, sugar," Bunnie answers, holding the rope and waving to him.
Antoine Sonia, and Manic are holding the rope as well
"Go for it!" Rotor calls out.
Bunnie and the others are beginning to pull at the rope. Of course, the rocket booster is very heavy
"I am thinking I will blow a casket…" Antoine says, pulling on the rope.
Bunnie says, "Oh, sugar, I'm the one who's gonna blow a casket."
"Man this thing weighs a ton," Manic comments.
"You said it," Sonia agrees.
Everyone continue to pull the rope as Rotor lowers down the rope ladder.
"Steady, guys!" Sally calls out.
She then says to Nicole, "Nicole, bring up launch angle data for booster."
"Searching, Sally…" Nicole says.
Nicole then shows the rocket booster at an angel, and says, "program accessed."
"Hold it there, guys, "Sally says.
With that, Antoine quickly ties the rope to a large tree.
"Got it, Sally!" Bunnie calls out.
Sally then says, "Ready for launch, Sonic."
"Do it to it, Sal," Sonic says, already on board the rocket
Then closes the hatch. Sonic look to see Eve and Rotor are at the front of the controls. Rotor presses the button.
Outside the rocket everyone begin to stand away from the rocket.
Sally and Tails countdown, "Five...Four...Three...Two...One."
"Ignition!" Sally says, pressing the button on Nicole.
Then the rocket blast the three off into space breaking the rope. Everyone is waving goodbye to the three friends.
Tails says, Bye, Sonic! Bye, Rotor! Bye, Eve!
"Good luck, guys," Sally says, giving the three a thumbs up
The rocket continues to go high up into the sky and is going to leave the planet.
Sonic happily shouts "Way, way past cool, Rote."
"We did it. Yes!" Rotor cheers.
Then he points to the window, "Check it out, guys."
Sonic and Eve look out the window to see the planet as they are heading higher out of orbit.
"Man, that is beautiful. From here you can't tell Robotnik is destroying everything," Sonic comments.
"We'll get him, Sonic," Rotor says.
"Yeah. He's nothing but a nothing," Sonic comments.
Eve continues to look out the window, "Wow! That is amazing."
Eve is so focused by the sight of the planet. She starts to feel she has seen something like this. Suddenly, Eve's mind flashes back when she's a little. She is staring out the window like she is now.
Little Eve says, "Wow! The planet looks so pretty from up here. I wish we can go down there and see what it's like."
"Don't you think so, Big Brother?" Little Eve replies, and turns her head with a smile.
However, no one is there by her side.
She snaps out of her fantasy to hear Rotor says, "Uh, oh. Problemo."
Eve looks outside to see smoke in space.
"Man, that junk heap is polluting the air big time," Sonic says in disgust.
Then Sonic asks, "What's up?"
"We're already there…" Rotor says, and pulling a switch.
Eve looks out to see the rocket is already at the Spy Sky Station.
They both look out and say "...and there's no place to land!"
Then they both scream in fright.
As they approach the space station, they can see not many places for them to land
There's got to be some place to land,"Rotor worriedly says.
Sonic looks though the window, "I see a place, Rote, cruise in for a closer look."
Rotor reaches the control and pull the switch. The rocket begins to get closer to the Sky Spy.
Knowing where a place to land, Sonic says, "Drop into that slot."
Rotor plugs two wires together, and the rocket land on the station. When the rocket lands, it slides down the slot at top speed. They look outside to see they are heading right toward the door.
Eve says, "Guys, we're going to crash!"
"I know!" Rotor screams.
Everyone duck down and the ship crashes through the door, and comes to a stop. They sigh in relief to see the rocket has stop
Once on the ground, Rotor opens the hatch and all three climb out of it. Then begin to look around.
"Think anyone saw us?" Rotor asks.
"Like who? The joint looks deserted," Sonic says
"Naw, we couldn't be that lucky," Rotor says.
"I agree. There has to become someone here," Eve says.
"Yeah. Somewhere we'll run into butt bots, guaranteed, "Sonic says.
The three continue to walk down the aisle to see halls of different kinds and machines.
"Whaddya say, Rote? You think the main sensors are in there?" Sonic asks.
"We won't know until we get inside," Rotor says.
"I hope we don't ran into…" but before Eve can finish, a strange Swat-bot appear.
This one is blueish and silver. It also pretty tall, and has a large red eye of some kind. It then shows a black one replacing the red.
"Man, and I thought the Swat-Bots were ugly!" Sonic comments.
Through the robot, Snively sees the three Freedom Fighters on the video screen back at Robotropolis.
"Doctor Robotnik, a video transmission from Sky Spy…" Snively informs.
But when Robotnik's chair turns to look at the screen to see them, "The hedgehogs? How is that possible?"
Rotor, Sonic, and Eve step back to see the robot staring at them and walking toward them.
"It's a Surveillance Bot!" Rotor says.
"Uh. Yeah?" Sonic replies.
"Which means Robotnik knows we're here," Eve says.
Sonic looks at the camera and says, "Yo, Robuttnik! This beach ball of yours is going down, man, hard and fast. Count on it."
"You never get tired of that," Eve says.
"Duh," Sonic says.
Sonic and Eve speeds away with Rotor as the robot begins to fire at them
Robotnik is not going to stand this, "The hedgehogs won't last the night."
Then commands, "Snively, alert Sky Spy of their presence."
In the Sky Spy, a purple robots with tentacles is sitting in a round silver building. That is the Brain-Bot of the Sky Spy.
Brain-Bot says, This is Sky Spy control."
"Freedom Fighters on board. Capture at will," Snively says over the speaker.
"Affirmative. Code Three alert," Brain-Bot says, pressing the buttons and setting the alarm.
In the Sky Spy, Sonic, Eve, and Rotor hear the alarm going off.
"Sounds like the word is out on us, guys." Sonic says.
Eve says, "You think."
Suddenly, they hear a strange sound and something falling from above. They look up to see green tentacles wrapping around the three bodies. There is a monster with a red uniform and sharp teeth.
"Hang in, guys. I'm gonna teach this drooler some manners," Sonic says.
Sonic uses his super speed to zoom on the railing and climb on the wall pulling the monster tentacle up. Then jumps down and wraps its own tentacle around it. Then Sonic slides down. Eve is able to break free, and she along with Sonic help Rotor out.
The two fall and swing at a wire, and they both land on the ground.
"You okay, Rote?" Sonic asks.
"Me? Didn't scare me a bit. Like a rock," Rotor answers as his hand begins to shake.
"How about you Eve?" Sonic asks.
"I'm fine," Eve answers.
"Way cool," sonic says,
Then all three do their special hand shake. After that, the three then begin to walk down the hall
"Let's check out the town. Maybe we can find something there," Sonic says.
"I sure hope so," Eve says.
After walking a while, the three look to see an entrance with robots walking inside.
"That's the place," Sonic says.
"The place for what?" Rotor asks.
"To get some info on the sensor," Sonic says.
Eve thinks, "You may be right, but how are we going to get inside without them noticing us?"
Sonic looks around and find a lot of metal and robot parts on the ground.
That gives Sonic an idea, "As Sal would say, 'I have a plan.'"
Through the entrance, there is a bar inside. Robots are hanging out, doing an arm wrestling, drinking oil, and there's even a band playing. As the band play, there is an electric guitar playing surrounding the room. Everyone come to a stop to see Sonic, disguised as a robot. He is wearing a helmet with a bottle noise, metal gloves, and bucket stilts. Sonic walks towards the stage with the robot holding the Saxophone, Sax Bot.
After walking to the stage, Sonic asks, "Mind if I sit in?"
Suddenly, a chair is being thrown at him, but he ducks his head.
"Don't mind if I do," Sonic says.
Sonic jumps on stage and starts playing the guitar he has made.
Sax-Bot walks to Sonic and says, "You better be good, man, or you're tinfoil."
Sonic begins to play the guitar. He is playing good as he can, but the music comes to a stop. Just then, the robots start booing at him.
Sax-Bot walks over to him, and says, "Man! You are terrible… knotwurst!"
"Yeah? Well you don't blow such a hot nose yourself," Sonic remarks.
Sax-Bot charges at Sonic, but ducks his head causing the robot to fall to the floor.
"Oops. Gotta watch that first lunge, double dork," Sonic mocks.
Sax-Bot is able to climb back on stage, but both of his saxophones are bent.
"Now that's cool! You look good dented," Sonic says.
Sax-bot stands up, and asks, "Where's your gig, man?"
"Spy sensors," Sonic answers.
"A Brain Bot, huh?" Sax-bot replies.
Then says, "We HATE Brain Bots here!"
"Yeah, must be a bummer not to have a brain," Sonic remarks.
"I have a brain," Sax-Bot says, insulted.
"Oh, yeah?" Sonic questions.
"Yeah!" Sax Bot says.
"Bet you can't even answer a dumb question," Sonic taunts.
"Try me," Sax-Bot says.
Sonic adks, "Okay. Where are the spy sensors?
" Building 105. South tower," Sax-Bot answer, pointing which way to go.
Cool. You do have half a brain," Sonic says.
Sax-Bot becomes so angery with the insult that he blows his horns, making Sonic lose his helmet.
Eve who is waiting for Sonic, mutters, "Talk about blow hard."
"Hey! You're bogus, man!" Sax-Bot says, trying to catch Sonic.
But Sonic dodges.
Sax-Bot calls out, "He's a Freedom Fighter! Get him!"
"You got that right, twin beaks!" Sonic mocks.
Rotor and Eve watch what is going on and look to see Sonic's in trouble. The robots are starting to gang up at him. The robots continue to approach him and hoping to capture him.
Sonic hold up his hand, and says, "Yo! Hold it! Hold it! Know what your problem is?"
The robots stop in their tracks.
Sonic says, You're all ugly. Look, I'd like to hang and insult you some more, but I gotta juice. Adios!"
Then uses his super speed to zip out of the room in seconds. He manages to find Rotor and Eve a little distance away from the entrance.
"Whatcha find out?" Rotor asks.
"Tell ya on the way. We're gone," Sonic answers.
Rotor grabs Sonic and the hedgehog uses his super speed. Eve does the same. Soon the robots leave the bar to chase after them.
A little while later, they are able to get deeper into the Sky Spy. sonic points to see a large tower.
"That's the spy sensor...building 105, south tower," sonic says.
"That looks like the place," Rotor says.
"It's big," Eve says.
" And here's our ride," Rotor says, seeing a rope.
He then grabs a pole with a wheel in the middle. Rotor grabs one side, while Sonic and Eve take the otherside.
"Let's slide, Clyde," Rotor says.
The three side the rope line down to the entrance of the tower.
Down below, there is a purple Bug-Bot. Hearing a strange sound, the Bug-Bot walks over to see the sound. Sonic and Eve sneak behind it. The Bug-Bot stops, then circles its head. Sonic and Eve manage to avoid being seen. The Sonic and Eve continue to follow the Bug-Bot.
Just then, Rotor gets in front of it, and nervously says, "Oops. Uh, hi. What's up?"
The Bug-bot screeches in anger. Before it can attack, Eve kicks it on the head.
"Lock-up time, chrome-dome," Sonic says.
Rotor grabs the arm and has it locked on the pole, "Spring loaded. That should lock it up tight"
The Bug-Bot tries to get it's claw free, but it's no use.
Eve grabs the other one when it's close range, and locks it, "That should keep it busy."
"Need anything else? Pillow? Soft drink?" Sonic sarcastically asks.
Then zooms off with Rotor and Eve. Not long,Sonic, and Eve are able to speed to reach the top of the South Tower.
"Your call, Rote," Sonic says.
"We've got to disconnect that main sensor tube," Rotor says.
"Sensor tube?" Sonic asks.
"You know, we don't want the robots know we're up here. It will also disconnect the tracking device they have on us," Eve says.
"Oh, sensor tube. I knew that," Sonic says.
Sonic goes to the satellite and circles around to disconnect the sensor.
Sonic grabs it, "Bingo!"
Then brings it to Rotor and Eve.
"Whoa! That sucker is hot! Hoo-wee!" Sonic says. Then throws the tub doen an abyss.
When the tube reaches the bottom, it releases electric sparks.
"Yes!" Rotor says
"Yes!" sonic cheers, then gives a hi five to Rotor and Eve.
"Are we cool or what?" sonic says.
"Good. Now let's get out of here," Eve says.
"You said it," Sonic says.
Then the three begin to take their leave.
Back in Robotnik's Mission Control, it isn't long before robotnik can see the blue electric sparks appear on the screen.
Stunned, Robotnik asks, "What is this, Snively?"
"I suspect it's the hedgehogs, Sir," Snively answers.
"The hedgehogs?" Robotnik asks
Snively meekly says, "Yes, sir."
"Then don't you think it would be wise for you to stop him?" Robotnik says, slamming his fist on the chair.
"Yes, Sir. Very wise, Sir," Snively says.
Robotnik look at the screen to see the Stealth-Bot
Robotnik commands Snively, "The Stealth Bot lost its tracking signal, Snively. Recall it."
"Will do, Sir," Snively says.
Snively presses the button, and inform the robot through the microphone, "Stealth Bot 208… mission aborted."
Back at Knothole, Sally and Antoine are listening in on the transmission.
They hear Snively on the Comput-radio, "Repeat. Mission aborted. Return to base. Return to base."
Hearing the news, Sally looks at the telescope to see the Sky Spy is short circuiting.
"Yes. Yes! They did it. The spy sensor is history." Sally says.
Antoine looks at the telescope himself, and gasps, " Sacre bleu. It look extremely dangerous…"
"It's some kind of high voltage chain-reaction. I hope they're heading home," Sally says.
With the Sky Spy short circuiting, Sonic, Eve, and rotor hurry down the tower to get out of the place before it exploded. They soon find a Hover rocket for them to use.
"There's our ride home, Sonic," Rotor says. He presses a button and the door opens.
"We'll just cruise back to Mobius in style," Sotor says.
Then goes inside. Rotor and Sonic sit at the front seat while Eve sits down at a chair close by. Rotor looks at the controls to see different types of buttons and switches.
"You're cool flying this thing, right Rote?" Sonic asks.
"Well, pretty cool," rotor nervously answers.
He flips a switch and the rocket turns on.
"Let's juice," Sonic says, putting on the seat belt.
Rotor takes off on the Hover Rocket and is flying it out of the station.
"Way to motor, Rot-ski!" Sonic comments.
Then asks, "Yo, Rote; are we going any higher than two feet?"
"It's got turbo burners somewhere…" Rotor says.
"Whaddya mean 'somewhere'? Flip 'em all!" Sonic panics.
Eve says, "That sounds to crazy."
Rotor pulls the purple and blue switch, but says, "Oops."
Soon the ship begins to go faster.
"Bingo, baby!" Sonic screams.
The ship flying so fast, that they are able to get out of the station in no time.
"Adios, spy butt!" Sonic says.
Once they're out, the make their way back to Knothole.
Eve looks out the window, "Look, I can see Knothole. We're almost there."
"Cool. Drop the old bucket into the sling," Sonic says.
"Easier said than done, Sonic," Rotor nervously says.
"You can do it, Rote. Piece of cake," sonic says.
"Okay. Here we go…" Rotor says, grabbing onto the wheel.
Then pushes the control forward.
Back at Knothole, Sally and the others are waiting for the three to come back. Just the, the Hovercraft flies over them
"Wow-wee!" Tails says in amazement.
Then the hovercraft crashes to a tree. Sally and Tails hurry to the hovercraft.
In the hovercraft, Sonic, Rotor, and Eve are fine and a little shaky.
"Ugly, but cool," Sonic says.
"Very ugly," Rotor says, rubbing his head.
Eve sighs, "Let's not go through that again.
Just then, they hear Sally calling out, "Are you guys alright."
Sally knocks at the hatch and soon opens. Sonic, Eve and Rotor climb out of the hovercraft.
"Sure. No problemo, Sal. What's up?" Sonic answers.
"There's a new 'problemo'. Sky Spy is looking a little...shaky," Sally answers.
Everyone gather in the compu-radio room. Sonic looks at the telescope.
"Whoa. You're right, Sal. Definitely shaky.," Sonic says.
The Sky Spy is shaking and admitting blue electricity.
"The ol' Sky Spy could trash Mobius big time," Sonic says.
"Somehow we have to guide it down somewhere away from Knothole," Sally says.
Then an idea hits her, "Rotor, we'll need your super magnet and Eve, you need to give it an extra boost."
Outside of Knothole, Rotor has his super magnet ready and Eve is ready as well.
Sonic look through the scope, "The junkball is about to cut lose. Get ready to juice it."
"Contact," Rotor says, and flips the switch.
That activates the magnet. And hits the Sky Spy. Sonic and Rotor looks to see the Sky Spy is coming.
Rotor shotus, "Now Eve."
"Chaos Thunder!" Eve says, and sends thunder to the magnet, giving it more power.
The Sky Spy is now getting closer and closer.
Once it's close enough, Sonic shouts, "It's rocket time."
He and Eve grab Rotor and speed out of the way. When the Sky Spy hits the ground, it explodes.
Seeing the Sky Spy destroyed, make Robotnik very angry.
He angrily says, "Listen closely, Snively; it could be crucial to your health."
He turns to Snively on the chair and says, "The hedgehog and his band of fools will be eliminated! Do I make myself clear?
"Y-Yes, Sir. Very clear, Sir," Snively says, nervously.
Back in the Great Forest, everyone gather to hear Sally's announcement.
"By working together, we stopped Robotnik one more time," Sally says.
Everyone cheer
Then Sally says, "We owe a special thanks to the courage and ingenuity of Sonic, Eve, and Rotor."
Everyone clap and cheer with glee. Soon, they chant the three heros name. Sonic bow in reply. Of course, his quills are a bit messy. Eve's is the same way.
Eve looks around, "Hey I wonder where Rotor gone off to.
Just then, they hear Rotor calls out, "Sonic, check it out!"
They see rotor being a treadmill and a styling helmet for hair.
"My latest invention...a nifty quill styler made especially for hedgehogs," Rotor says.
"Only for hedgehogs? Eve asks.
"Yeah. You and Sonic can use it. All that electricity trashed your 'do. Give it a shot," Rotor says.
Sonic hops on the treadmill first. Then put the helmet on his head.
"Hit it!" Rotor shouts.
Sonic begins to run with his fast speed on the mill. Suddenly, the styling helmet lift Sonic in the air making him scream, "Whoa!"
In seconds, the machine stops and Sonic lands on it, but his quills is curled up in one big stand up quill
Rotor sheepishly says. "Uh, oh."
"Uh...nice quills, "Sally sarcastically says.
Eve giggles, "Like your new style bro."
Sonic looks at the mirror to see what has happen with his quills. He screams in shock, meaning he doesn't like his new style at all.
