A/N: Silly me, I forgot to mention that the idea of my story is taken from one of the fabled "lost episodes" of AoStH (see my first episode for more details) that was never shown (or completed for that matter) due to DiC working more on Sat-Am. (silly DiC, they should hire more workers!)

Sonic and Tails skidded to a halt on the park sidewalk and gazed about for badniks, "See Tails," Sonic gestured all around, "No traps."
"That's what you think, hedgehog," Robotnik growled softly from behind a shady tree as he pressed a button on a remote control.
Deep within the dirt beneath their feet, a red light flashed on a metal collar, beeping loudly, awakening the grumpy creature wearing it. The ground rumbled violently as the creature pushed its way through the yards of dirt to the surface.
Tails took to the air, "Well, what do you call that?"
"An earthquake?" Sonic guessed as the ground poked up and split open.
Out of the crevice slowly emerged a huge, leafy green oval covered in bright violet spots. A thick stalk branched down from it and tons of minitature vines whipped out from the ground. Two larger vines contained pods at the end, covered in tiny purple spikes. The minature metallic collar, attached near the top, beeped and flashed rhythmically. The oval split down the middle into a smile, revealing two rows of knife-like teeth. Two piercing black eyes on top of it's 'head' stared down at our heroes.
Sonic gaped at the creature, "That is one seriously scary sprout..."
The creature bent down towards Sonic and Tails, smacking its lips and drooling.
"...And it looks hungry," Sonic added, "But, we're still full! C'mon! Let's make like a tree and leave!" he reached for Tails and they rushed back to the park entrance.
"Nuh-uh, Hedgehog!" Scratch and Grounder crossed infront of them before they could reach the gates, firing more bolts of electricity towards them.
"Yikes! Dead end!" Sonic skidded into a U-turn and headed back to the towering plant, dodging the bolts.
Robotnik stepped out from behind the tree, holding a remote.
"Did you have to say 'dead'?" Tails asked.
"You're trapped, Hedgehog!" Robotnik growled, "Now you must face my lab-grown botanic terror, the Super-Egg-Plant!"
"That's a dorky name - even for you, Rottnik." Sonic replied.
"GRRR! SUPER-EGG-PLANT, ATTACK!" Robotnik cried.
"RROOOOOOAAAAARRRRGGG!" roared the Super-Egg-Plant as it lunged at Sonic and Tails.
They leaped out of the way and it slammed into a grove of trees, knocking hundreds of fruits onto its massive head. The creature rubbed its sores and growled, slithering after them again.
The Super-Egg-Plant then stumbled and fell, completely frustrated and out of breath. Robotnik growled, "Get moving, you putrid plant!"
Sonic suddenly appeared next to the Super-Egg-Plant in a jogging suit, "Looks like somebody needs some exercise," Sonic said patting it on its head, "Cause if you don't, well... You could end up like that guy," Sonic pointed to a dying stump.
The creature gasped in shock.
"It's never too late to start exercising! Hurry!" Sonic pushed the creature and it slowly focused and started to run around in circles, breathing rhythmically.
Sonic ran beside it, "C'mon! Pick up those vines! Run faster! Faster! Feel the burn!" Sonic then broke off from it as the Super-Egg-Plant continued to run and sweat profusely, "Another 40 laps 'oughta do ya!"
Robotnik slapped his forehead and screeched, "STOP, YOU RETARDED RHODODENDRON! Get that Hedgehog!"
The creature froze in its tracks and turned angrily towards Sonic and Tails. It charged after them again. Sonic and Tails took off. The Super-Egg-Plant flew past Robotnik, accidentally knocking him into a large pond beside the path.
The creature quickly tired again and stopped. It growled ferociously and snapped its vines, launching a bunch towards Sonic and Tails. They leaped and ducked as the vines whipped through the air and slapped the ground around them.
The creature retracted it's vines and straightened back up. Then, it thrusted its many vines into the dirt.
"What's it doing?" Tails yelled.
"I don't know," Sonic answered, "But I'm gonna buzzsaw this plant into fertilizer!" He curled into a ball and sped towards the plant.
Inches before he reached the plant, hundreds of green vines sprouted from the ground.
"You think a few vines can stop me?" Sonic remarked as he began to burrow through the wall it had created.
"SONIC! HELP!" A voice cried out. Sonic broke out of his triple spin and peered around. The Super-Egg-Plant dangled Tails high over him.
"I'm coming bro!" Sonic leaped high up into the air and grabbed onto one of the creature's many vines. He swung out of the way as more vines shot towards him and leaped from vine to vine. He finally landed on the vine holding Tails and began to pull at it, "I'll have you outta here in a Sonic sec!"
"Look out!" Tails cried as the two large vines with spiked pods headed for Sonic.
"WHA-" The spiked vines snatched him up, wrapping tightly around his body, "OUCH!" The sharp spikes of the pods cut into him, "Let go!" He rolled into a triple spin again and cut off the Super-Egg-Plant's vines. The plant creature whined loudly. Sonic then buzzed through the vine holding Tails. Tails grabbed his hand and they hovered down to the ground.
Sonic leapt back into the air and kept sawing until the Super-Egg-Plant was just a thin stalk with a fat head. The Super-Egg-Plant blushed and slithered back into the hole from whence it came , whining and sealing up the hole with dirt.
"Owww," Sonic cringed and looked at the large purple scratches covering his body, "Man, that plant packs one serious punch!" Suddenly, he put his hand to his head, "Whoa..." he tottered around, "What's happening to me?"
Tails tried to get him to stand still, "Sonic! What is it?"
"I feel... weird," Sonic said, trying to shake off the feeling.
"What's the matter?" Tails asked quickly.
"I feel..." he tottered back and forth, "I-I feel-" Sonic immediately blacked out and fell unconscious onto the ground.
Tails bent down beside him and tried to get him to sit up, "SONIC! Are you okay?"
Sonic groaned and twisted around. Tails raised up his head, "Sonic!"
Sonic tried to open his eyes, "Whoa...Keed, I don't feel..." he swallowed and tried to get a deeper breath, "I don't feel so good..." he muttered dizzily.
"BWA-HAHAHA!" Scratch laughed, "Sonic's a goner!"
"What did you do to him!?" Tails shouted angrily.
"Dr. Robotnik's Super-Egg-Plant POISONED him, brat!" Grounder teased, "And only WE have the antidote, so ha! Ha! HA!"
Scratch slapped Grounder upside his head, "DOH! You weren't supposed to tell him THAT!"
"Well, at least I didn't tell him that it was hidden in the lab at the fortress!" Grounder retorted, sticking out his tongue at Scratch.
"Double-dork!" Scratch smacked him again, "You just did!"
Tails carefully cradled Sonic in his arms, "Thanks for the help, stupid-heads, but we gotta fly!" he rotated his tails and took to the air. He headed out of the park and back into town.
"Now you let them get away!" Scratch smacked him a third time, "What are we gonna tell Dr. Robotnik?"
"Yes, what are you going to tell me?" Robotnik sneered. The two bots spun around to find their creator towering over them, his soaked mustaches drooping with water dripping from them.
"Uh," Grounder glanced at the ground, "Well, we kinda told them..." he spoke really fast and cowered, preparing for the worst, "where-to-find-the-antidote-and-now-they-got-away!"
Robotnik laughed, which wasn't the reaction the bots were expecting, "That's all?"
"Uh...yeah," Grounder chuckled nervously.
"No matter!" Robotnik announced proudly and patted Grounder on his head, "Sonic has now approximately," he checked his watch, "8 hours left to live - and that poison will slow him down considerably," he exploded into laughter, "He'll never be able to break into the fortress to reach the antidote! Even if he does manage to drag himself there, I've tightened security around the fortress!" Robotnik giggled with glee, "That rodent has seen his last sunrise, boys!"
