THE ISLAND UNCOVERED

PART 4

(Sonic has just thrown the Alpha device into the river. Elsewhere, Zachary is swimming along, looking for an exit to the underground tunnels)

Zachary: If I just follow this river, it should take me outside! I'll be out in the open in no time!! -Wha? On no! The current's picking up! I've -gotta -try and-reach -the -edge!!-(he grabs the edge, but slips)- HEEEELLP!!

(Zachary is washed downstream)

(Scene cuts to Sonic and the gang, hanging around in Palmtree panic.)

Sonic: Now that the Alpha device is taken care of, we can all relax!-What the!?

(Knuckles is approaching, looking very beat.)

Knuckles: Gasp! Zachary's after the time stones!He-he-UHHH!

(Knuckles collapses)

Knuckles: I heard him talking about some kinda place with loadsa gems, or- or something like that.

Sonic: Full of gems? That sounds like-

(Elsewhere, Amy is hatching an 'evil' plot:)

Amy: The Quartz quadrant! That's the perfect idea! I'll go there, and get the biggest gem Sonic's ever seen! Then he'll marry me for sure! Amy, you're a genius!!

(Scene cuts to Zachary, lyng unconcious on the river bank. He awakens)

Zachary: Uhhhhh. where am I? I-Huh?! What's that thing?!

(He spots the Alpha device lying a few feet away.)

Zachary: I wonder what that is?..

(Scene cuts to Amy in the Quartz quadrant, searching for gems.)

Amy: Now which one would Sonic like? That one? No.-Maybe that one?-No. Ohh, why is this so hard!?

(She hears a noise. Sonic dashes into the zone.)

Amy: Oh, no! It's Sonic! I mustn't let him see me!!

(Amy hides behing a huge gem) Sonic: I just hope Zachary isn't here yet! I need to find those time stones!!

Amy: Time stones? Oh, I remember those!!

(Scene cuts to Knuckles with Tails and Shadow.)

Knuckles: Tails Where's the Quartz quadrant?

Tails: About a mile south from here!

Knuckles: Oh, great! I'll never catch up with Zachary!!

Shadow: Don't worry about it! (He grabs Knuckles' arm) Chaos Control!!

ZZJJWWORRP!

(They appear in the Quartz quadrant)

Knuckles: This looks like the place!! I've gotta get Zachary!! I'll teach that creep to-AAAGGHH!!

(Knuckles is hit by a beam)

Shadow: What was that?

Knuckles: Oh no. not them.ANYTHING but them.

(Scene cuts to Sonic, frantically searching for the time stones. He has a small tracker to help.)

Sonic: OK, so the tracker says that there're 3 Time stones nearby.I've gotta find them!!

(Sonic hears some smashing sounds)

Sonic: -Huh?

(He hides behind a gem, and looks out from behind it to see what's going on.)

Sonic: Zachary!!

Zachary: Oh, this is too perfect! With that little thing I found, I can control an entire army of robotic Sonic's! I don't know quite where they came from, but who cares? At least they keep that stupid Knuckles out of my way! Now, where ARE those time stones?.

Sonic: What's that thing on his arm? -The Alpha device!!And now he can control the Metallix! This is BIG trouble!!I'd better go and help Knuckles!!

(Meanwhile, in another part of the Quartz quadrant,Amy is still searching for that perfect gem.)

Amy: Oh, there has to be one around here somewhere!! No, no, NO! None of these are good enough for Sonic!! It'' not FAIR!!

(Amy gets out her hammer and smashes a gem!)

KISSSHHH!

Amy: Hello, what's this? It's perfect!!

(Scene cuts to Knuckles and Shadow. They are surrounded by Metallix. Sonic arrives on the scene.)

Sonic: Be careful! They're really strong! They can-UGH!

(Sonic is hit in the head by a Metallix, knocking him out.)

Knuckles: Sonic!

Shadow: I guess it's up to us now!!

(Knuckles spots Zachary walking away from them with four time stones in his grasp)

Knuckles: Sorry, Shadow! I've got to stop Zachary! He's got three more time stones!! Seeya!

(Knuckles dashes off)

Shadow: NO, wait! Don't leave me here! They'll-Oh, what's the point? Come on, Sonic! (He picks up the unconcious Sonic) CHAOS CONTROL!!

NEXT: TOTAL CHAOS!!
