ACT FOUR

FADE IN

INT. CHUCK'S HIDEOUT - LIVING ROOM

We see the Oracle wiping chili off of his hand. Sonic is still sitting across from him.

SONIC (V.O.) Sorry I spat the chili on ya, Orc. Wow, a brother and a sister. How will I find them? And where are they?

ORACLE They're close. You have a friend who's helping you out to find them.

SONIC A friend. Who?

ORACLE Two-tailed kitsune.

SONIC You mean Tails?

ORACLE That's right. He told your brother and sister about the three of you while I told you about them.

SONIC Come again?

ORACLE Never mind.

SONIC So, let's say I see them. How will I know that's them?

ORACLE Easy. You're a triplet. You three look a lot a like. You're sister's purple and your brother's green. That's basically it. You three look alike, so you would know that they're them. And you also have a mother.

SONIC I have a mom, too?

ORACLE Yes, but you're not allowed to meet her. You can meet your siblings, but your mother stays in hiding until the time is right for the four of you to reunite. When you do, you will become the Council of Four. On that day, you'll overthrow Robotnik and restore peace to the planet.

SONIC Okay, I'll hold out on her, but where should I meet my siblings?

ORACLE Do what you feel is your love between all of you, and they'll come to you.

With that, the Oracle slowly vanishes.

WIDER

We see the table vanish as well, but the plate of chili dog's stay with Sonic.

SONIC Whoa, whoa, whoa! What does that mean? Do what I love? What do I love to do that they might love to do?

Sonic looks down at his feet to see the chili dogs.

SONIC No, they might not enjoy chili dog's like me. Hmm, no no one is as fast as me.

Sonic's medallion GLOWS.

SONIC Whoa, my medallion. Wait! Music! That's it! A lot of people love music, maybe they do too!

INT. MAIN ROOM - ROBOTROPOLICE MAIN BUILDING - NIGHT

Sleet and Dingo are watching the monitors of Sonic running through the forcefield.

SLEET Replay. How can anything go that fast?

DINGO Uh, it slows down when it hits that red thing.

SLEET Well, well, well. Once in a while, you do come up with something.

They replay the video and watch. Sonic hits the forcefield.

SLEET Advanced to point of contact. Freeze frame and enlarge.

ON SCREEN

We see a faint image of Sonic.

SLEET Well, what do you know, it's not a machine!

Sleet types on a keypad as a list of animals flash on the screen. Finally, it arives to a picture of Sonic.

ROBOTNIK (V.O.) A hedgehog?

Sleet and Dingo turn around to see Robotnik.

ROBOTNIK It's a blasted hedgehog?!

SLEET Yes, sir. Would you like us to--

ROBOTNIK (interrupts) No! Dismissed!

SLEET But, sir--

ROBOTNIK (yells) Dismissed!

Sleet and Dingo walks out of the room leaving Robotnik along. He looks at the picture in fear.

ROBOTNIK Could it be them? Because if it is... the prophacy!

Robotnik presses a button and a hollogram video shows of Robotnik in his bedroom with the Oracle from earlier.

ORACLE Robotnik, your days of terror and trynanny are numbered.

Robotnik turns around to press a button.

ROBOTNIK Guards! Argh!

Before Robotnik could hit the button, the Oracle covers him with magic making Robotnik inmobile.

ORACLE You will listen! One day, Queen Aleena and her children will reunite to form the Council of Four. On that day, your rein of tyranny will come to an end!

ROBOTNIK What does that mean?

ORACLE It means that Queen Aleena has separated her three chindren and went into hiding. One day, all four will reunite. On that day, your ruling will end.

ROBOTNIK No! You're lying.

ORACLE Would I be lying if I did this!

Instantly, Robotnik yells in pain as he holds his gut. The Oracle just stands there and smiles seeing Robotnik quiver in pain. Then the hologram video goes to static.

ROBOTNIK Hmm...
