RALLY CHALLENGE

[*third set plays with six colors]

STAGE 26

Frankly: "Hey, you intruder! Don't think you can slip by so easy!"

Pin: (Hm… I expect this sort of thing to be directed at me, but Frankly looks focused on someone else outta sight.) "Hate to be distracting, but what's the deal?"

Frankly: "Some weirdo in flippers just ran by, and I missed them! I'd grab them but my job was to be on the watch for you, and no one else!"

Pin: "In flippers…? Does he look and quack like a duck?"

Frankly: "Uh, now that you mention it… Kinda?"

Pin: "Had a feeling. Don't worry about that guy, I'll easily smack some sense into him with magic like before!"

Frankly: "I can count on that— Wait, no! I need to stop you from that, and then him! Otherwise, how will I be promoted back to where I want to be, above Arms?!

Pin: "We can't work this out together like pals?"

Frankly: "Wha?!… N-no, even if you are a strange mix of friend and foe! I put my position first! Sorry kid, but that's my job!"


STAGE 27

Dr. Quark: "Darn it! First that big purple freak came after me, and now you too?"

Pin: "I'm doing Frankly a favor, which is taking out the trash. The least I can do for a guy who had the spotlight stolen from him by Arms, and then lost to me! I'll make sure he takes the credit, too."

Dr. Quark: "For what? Defeating me?"

Pin: "Exactly that, along with tossing someone doing fowl-play in the Rally Challenge!"

Dr. Quark: "First off, I had no idea about any challenge! Secondly… I sense you were trying to make some kind of joke!"

Pin: "Maybe I was! I don't like Robotnik too much either, but another evil genius trying to upstage him? And get in my way of this challenge? Once again, can't have it, Quack!"

Dr. Quark: "… MY. NAME. IS. QUARK!"


STAGE 28

Grounder: "Oh, thank goodness you got rid of that quack! Dr. Robotnik would have been real mad if that guy went messing things up!"

Pin: (Hm… Speaking of, is there a purpose to this whole Rally Challenge if Robotnik is the one involved?) "Grounder, be honest with me, what's the reason I'm being dragged all the way here, when I could be learning of new magic?"

Grounder: "So we can see you again?…"

Pin: "… Is that really all? You guys could visit me about any time I'm in Mobius, y'know…"

Grounder: "Um… That was Spike's reasoning, since he's pent up on revenge. The real reason…! No one will tell me actually. Scratch says I would just end up spilling it to you."

Pin: (You kinda did, buddy, there goes my plan…)

Grounder: "Either way, I'm here and ready to kick your butt! Let's see you tunnel your way through against me!"

Pin: "Ah, good, back to the jokes! You're gonna be the one digging through blobs when we're through!"


STAGE 29

DOS Holiday: "Cowgirl… Mind tellin' me why y'all dragged yourself back here?"

Pin: "Still have your suspicions about me?"

DOS Holiday: "Yeah, but also naw… When you saved my bro and I, along with the rest from that hedgehog or his other compadres… I dunno what to think of you at all, really."

Pin: "… You're having trouble figuring out what you think of me? Do you want me to shed some light?"

DOS Holiday: "Huh?"

Pin: "I'm not from here, I can't emphasize that enough. My mission is to get better, so I can get back at an old enemy… But, since I care, I'm putting Mobius first! I'll let you form your opinion off that!… So, what about you?"

DOS Holiday: "… I got a paint-job a couple years back after I was made along with Humpty, was recognized for my gun-firing skills, and the doc made me one of the Despicable Desperadoes. Though, no matter what, I'm here to look after my bro!"

Pin: "Well, from that, I can easily say you really care about him like an actual brother, which you are! Ironic, because you badniks always say you aren't nice… Speaking of, does this mean your name was originally 'Dumpty' or something?"

DOS Holiday: (How did she figure…?!) "Shut up and show me whatcha got, cowgirl! I'll decide my thoughts on you soon!"


STAGE 30

Pseudo Sonic: "TARGET LOCKED. IDENTIFYING AS THE UNUSUAL LIFE-FORM FROM LAST TIME."

Pin: "I am pretty unusual by your standards. But seriously, I'm dragging you back home to be programmed with emotion or something when I'm done here this time."

Pseudo Sonic: "DR. ROBOTNIK FINDS THIS PROCEDURE UNACCEPTABLE. NO SUCH METHODS SHALL BE DONE."

Pin: "Pal, what are you going to do when the doc picks out his favorite of the robotic doppelgängers?"

Pseudo Sonic: "IF MY FATE IS TO BE DISPOSED OF IN FAVOR OF A SUPERIOR MODEL, SO BE IT."

Pin: "No way am I having that! No one is getting scrapped on my watch! If I win, I'm shutting you down, and kidnapping you!"

Pseudo Sonic: "SLIGHT THREATS IN VOICE DETECTED, PROCEEDING TO RESPOND EQUALLY AGGRESSIVE."


STAGE 31

Dragon Breath: "Man, I can't believe you got past Pseudo Sonic! I mean, everything else I can get behind, but him?"

Pin: "Meh, he wasn't that bad. I think he's built just to compete against Sonic, not me."

Dragon Breath: "The doc really must be sending the boys 'round this time! Instead of being scattered about, everyone's in an ordered line, and now he even booted up Pseudo for ya, lady!"

Pin: "Well? What are you going to do?"

Dragon Breath: "As best as I can, even if it results in failure! It really can't get any worse than it is now, with Arms and Spike above me. Ol' Ffuzzy-Fface is one thing, but…"

Pin: "Don't sweat the small stuff, they say! Even if Robotnik chews you out, chances are the others will too, and you can all come to me if you need someone that would listen!… What are you all even up to? I know you guys invited me over but…"

Dragon Breath: "Secrets, lady! Say goodbye to your winning streak!"


STAGE 32

Arms: "Behold! Eye'm the strongest!"

Pin: (Huh? Why did he spell it the way Peeper would? Is it a joke I'm missing?)

Arms: "I may have messed up last time, but I'm only improving more and more!"

Pin: "I won't lie, you did kinda show me last time. But that kind of overconfidence gets you nowhere!"

Arms: "Haha! That's such hypocrisy if I've ever seen it! You and Spike are the biggest egotists I know! When I do it, it's just pure energy and excitement!~"

Pin: "Wha…?! Hey now, it's my job to ridicule others! Or Spike's! This rise of power really is getting to your head!"

Arms: "Once I beat you, I'll be promoted above Spike, and maybe Sir Ffuzzy Logik! Hooray!~"

Pin: "I don't care how innocent you are! I'm gonna knock you off your pedestal while I still can, until your hanging on for dear life with those long arms of yours!"

Arms: "H-huh…? Did I say something wrong? Why are you so insulted? I was just pointing out the truth, and trying to be hopeful… I thought you'd support me like last time!"


STAGE 33

Spike: "Hah! Ya worn out yet squirt?"

Pin: "Not really…?" (Though, I can't speak for the players much.)

Spike: "Good! I want to make sure you're going all out, that way, if I beat you… I'd know for sure that I defeat the most worthy enemy I could have! Which I now see is you! Having totaled all those dumbots, defeating me more than once, along with stopping the doc's plans twice…"

Pin: "Honestly, your superior, rivalry obsession with me is really starting to get on certain levels, you know…"

Spike: "W-what is that supposed to mean?! Do you think I have nothing better to do, is that it?! You should be honored for me to acknowledge you as—"

Pin: "These constant attempt to upstage me is almost adorable, like you're some sort of jealous big brother type I dare say! Wahaha!~"

Spike: "A… Adorable?! Oh, n-now that just does it! You don't go around calling any of us badniks that— Besides Coconuts! Do your worst, and show me how hard you can hit, whether it be with the jellybean things or anything else!"

Pin: "Case in point, my charm must really bring in the best kinds of enemies to have~"


STAGE 34

Ffuzzy Logik: "Twice hath the witch saved us from Lord Robotnik's endangered fort… What does this tell me? Whose side is thou on?"

Pin: "Um, the one I choose that kinda just doesn't get in the way? I won't lie, for the most part, I do things for my own gain. But if something is in danger like you guys or a world different from mine… Y'know, it's only right if that hedgehog has no time for it."

Ffuzzy Logik: "Thou is on the side against Lord Robotnik… Yet chooses to be kind to the worst forms of creations he could make."

Pin: "Worst? Nah, a lot of you guys just seem cranky. I mean, I guess you're the few exceptions. After all, a knight who despite being a badnik, spares others willingly, should understand that!… Speaking of, you said you dislike witchcraft, so what are your thoughts on the literal demon below you in the ranks?"

Ffuzzy Logik: "Oh… Her… Even though she is not a real one, I still avoid that one. She tends to give Dragon Breath an evil eye, so I try my best to make sure they do not cross paths. I believe that Lucie shows signs of envy at him, due to her being at such a low rank."

Pin: "Wow, I didn't expect you to actually look out for your… Uh… 'Friendly nemesis'?"

Ffuzzy Logik: "Most of our disputes are just disagreements on a method or competition, I would never let harm come to any of my allies."

Pin: "You really are the honorable knight one could ask for!… Also, I want you!… Uh, to give me your sword this time if I win, gimme!"


STAGE 35

Scratch: "Bahahaha! You really did come all this way!"

Pin: "That little invite to this Rally Challenge was your idea, right? What is Robotnik up to this time, other than you guys clearly missing me so badly?~"

Scratch: "Oh please! It's nothing like that! It was all just a linear thing Dr. Robotnik set up, so no one would get in the way of his plan!"

Pin: (Alright, here it comes! Finally!)

Scratch: "And… I want you to stop Dr. Robotnik!"

Pin: "… What?"

Scratch: "You're really the best option to turn to, alright pal?! That hedgehog would just cause more trouble than you, and speed through everything! You show better humility at least when it comes to us, and saved us twice in a row!"

Pin: "I mean, I get that, but… You still haven't told me what's going on."

Scratch: "This whole Rally Challenge was my set-up! Not his! I wanted to find a way to bring you in, so you can stop Dr. Robotnik from using the Master Emealds up ahead! The Chaos Emeralds was a plan I knew would fail, but when he went all out with another… I don't want Robotnik being so super-powered, that he no longer has use of us!"

Pin: "That is… Quite the concern. But really, you all could have just ran to me and crashed at my place or something! There was no point of this! I was about to commend you for not making yourself to be a total dweeb, but there's too many holes in your logic!"

Scratch: "Uhh, that idea didn't cross my mind…"

Pin: "Sheesh! Wasting my time like this… Alright, I'm just gonna take my annoyance out in you in-battle!"


STAGE 36

Dr. Robotnik: "I don't believe this! You made your way through all my minions yet again?! How did you even find out?!"

Pin: (As much as tattling on the chicken would be appropriate, I feel that's too mean…) "Actually, I was wandering in these tunnels looking for new materials that may help with magic, and just ran into your crew… Had a feeling you were all up to no good!"

Dr. Robotnik: "Rrrrrridiculous! I cannot believe it! I expected that pesky hedgehog or echidna to try to stop me, but instead, here you are, arriving much earlier than them!"

Pin: "I took my sweet time actually, considering how much was out there. Plus this is the only way I know how, kinda."

Dr. Robotnik: "What, with those stupid beans?! Hah! Two can play at that game, brat! I'll delay you as much as I can, while draining the Master Emerald's power!"

Pin: "You really are the Eggman, and you got the master plan!~"

Dr. Robotnik: "My name, is Dr. Rrrrrrobotnik!… However, that does have a catchy ring to it. Perhaps I could turn that into my theme song!"


STAGE 37

Dr. Robotnik: "You're too late! Even if you had bested me! Take a look, child!"

Pin: "I have a name, you know… Aw geez, here we go again!"

Super Robotnik: "You might as well give up and turn around while you still can! The Master Emerald has fueled me, far better than just those seven Chaos Emeralds could! My power is almost infinite!"

Pin: "No way, there's gotta be a solution to stopping you… And I'm gonna find out what it is! If I don't stop you, everyone else, even your underlings will all be at risk!"

Super Robotnik: "Hah! You? Prrrrevent my plans three times in a row? Unlikely!"

Pin: "Oh, it's more than likely! Especially since we can only duke it out in rounds with the blobs, since they keep you from changing back, according to you! I'm all around much better at puzzles than anyone else here! I have a-MAZE-ing skills!"

Super Robotnik: "Truly, you aren't from here… Perhaps in my victory, I shall rrrrreveal your true form and identity!"


EXTRA STAGE

[*if you didn't use continues]

? ? ? - A super-powered, robotic clone of someone that was fought before! Beware of his super laser! (Story exclusive, playstyle is Carbuncle)

Super Robotnik: "No! My power… It's running low!"

Pin: "Did I not tell you? I truly am the best at these! Wahaha!~"

Super Robotnik: "I shall have to activate my secret weapon then!… I hope you remember this all too well, annoying brat!"

NEO Has Bean: "Ta!"

Pin: "What the?!… I took Carby home I thought!"

Super Robotnik: "I had made a rrrreplica in his exact image! A super-powered laser from the most beautiful garnets in this cavern! Along with that, I added metallic wings, vision which can see things up to over a thousand miles, and most importantly… Extremely intelligent AI one could ask for, that obeys only me!"

Pin: "First emeralds, and now garnets lying around… This cavern has just about any sparkling, overpowered gem one could ask! Hm, I might have to do some digging around when I'm done then…"

NEO Has Bean: "Ta-da!"

Pin: "Another badnik isn't ever going to keep me from saving this little sanctuary! Especially one that's a blatant copy of Carby!"


((I'd paste the ending for this, but I'm actually getting pretty tired… Maybe another time.))
