(Sonic Underground: Theme)

(Ayla's Theme Song - KC Undercover Theme Song)


Queen Aleena:*off-screen* Tho the land was under a dark cloud, my children still found time to play. But Manic had a lesson to learn about teamwork.


*Sonic & I were looking for Manic, who had gone off alone. Suddenly, we saw Manic being chased by a giant Stealth-Bot. It fired lasers at him & he dodged them. Sonic found a rope, made a lasso, & chased after them. I was right behind him*

Sonic: Hang in, bro!

Ayla: We're coming!

*Sonic threw the lasso*

Sonic: Yippee-kai-I-yay! *he roped the robot by the ankle & it dragged him along after us. Sonic then zoomed the other way, stopping it from chasing us* Think you're gonna take down the hedgehog, huh, Sweat-Butt!? I don't think so!

*He started zooming in circles, pulling the bot along with him*

Manic: That's our bro!

Ayla: Awesome!

*Sonic then did a tornado spin & threw the Stealth-Bot towards a big rock, destroying it*

Manic: My main hedgehog! Yeah!

Ayla: Nice move!

Sonic: Next time, bring a lot of help.

*Just then, Sleet's voice came out of a piece of the Swat-Bot*

Sleet:*off-screen* Swat-Bot 27. This is Sleet. Queen Aleena has been spotted in Quadrant 10. Check it out and report back. Do you understand?

*Sonic picked up the piece & started talking into it*

Sonic:*disguised voice* Affirmative. Check Quadrant 10. Over and out.

*He pulled the cord out of the device*

Manic:*off-screen* Sonic! Ayla! A little help here!

*We went towards his voice, but only found his hoverboard stuck in a rock wall*

Ayla: Manic? Where are you?

Manic:*off-screen* Over here!

*We looked up & found his feet sticking out of the wall. Sonic & I went up to him, me on board, each grabbed an ankle, & pulled him out. The boys both fell down the wall. Sonic landed first & screamed when he saw Manic coming towards him*

Manic: Look out below!

*He landed on top of Sonic. I hovered down on my board*

Ayla: You guys okay?

Manic: Yeah. We're good.

Sonic: You wanna tell us what you were doing out here alone!?

*Manic spit out some rocks*

Manic: Surfing some awesome thermals.

*He went to pull his board out of the wall. Sonic went to help him*

Sonic: Yeah. And what happened to the Buddy System?

Ayla: Yeah. None of us should go off alone.

Sonic: Next time, we all go together. And I'll show you how to shoot thermals.

Ayla: Me too.

*They got the board out & it hovered above us*

Manic: You guys surf thermals? *Sonic jumped on to the board & surfed it, performing some amazing tricks. I pulled off a few of my own* Alright!

*We landed in front of him*

Sonic: Man, you're looking at Sonic the Surf-hog. I can surf thermal standing on my head.

Ayla: Back in my world, I was known as the Queen of the Waves. I've been hanging 10 since I was 7.

*Sonic threw the board back at Manic*

Sonic: Hop on. We heard some news about Mom. We gotta find Sonia.

*Manic got on his board & Sonic pushed him, going super fast. I went after them. Sonic then let go of Manic & we all zoomed away*


*We found Sonia & Manic drove the van to Quadrant 10, which was full of burning oil wells*

Manic: Man, that stinks!

Ayla:*pinching her nose* No kidding.

Sonic: You can always smell when Robotnik's been somewhere.

Sonia: These wells have been burning for months. Why would Mother want to come a place like this? EW!

Sonic: I don't know, but -

*Just then, I saw something in the road*

Ayla: Manic! Watch where you're going!

*The van hit a pothole & we were almost sent flying off the road. Luckily, we landed safely*

Sonic: When is it with you and potholes, bro? You never get enough of em.

Sonia: I don't know how many more my teeth can take.

Ayla: Oh . . . Or my stomach . . .

Manic: Come on, guys. How many have I hit?

Sonic, Sonia, & Ayla: 38!

*Just then, we hit a 4 more*

Manic: Wrong. 42! So button it up with the backseat driving, alright?

Sonia: How much farther?

*Manic pressed a button on the dashboard & a map appeared*

Manic: 12 miles.

*Sonic & Sonia screamed & I face-palmed. Just then, we started driving over a really bumpy road. We lost one of the tires & had to stop*

Sonic: Way to go, little bro!


*While Sonic, Manic, & I fixed the tire, Sonia seemed to be sunbathing. Just then, a big turquoise vehicle drove up to us*

Sonia: We've got company, guys. *it vehicle stopped in front of us* Show yourself, whoever you are!

*The doors opened & a green male lizard with an orange mohawk, a brown eye, & wearing a black eye patch over his right eye, a green jacket with orange shoulders over a white shirt, gray pants, & brown boots stepped out of the vehicle*

Rudy: You Sonic?

*Sonic stepped up*

Sonic: Who wants to know?

Rudy: Name's Rudy. *he leaned down to Sonic* The party's at Mother's.

Sonic: And the musicians are down the hall. *he shook Rudy's hand* I'm Sonic and this is Sonia, Manic, and Ayla.

*We all shook Rudy's hand*

Sonia: We heard Queen Aleena was headed here.

Rudy: Nah. I ain't seen her and it's a good thing.

Ayla: Why's that?

*Rudy looked around nervously*

Rudy: Something strange is going on here. Last night, I was coming home when I saw a swarm of bright orange bugs flying away from our village. Looked something like bottle flies.

Sonia: Bottle flies!? Bugs!? EW!

Manic: SSHH!

Rudy: It's just a honking big fly we got around here, except I never saw em glow before. Then, suddenly, one of me mates, a Freedom Fighter same as me, turned in me. A bunch of me friends wanted to take me to Robotnik. I was lucky to get out alive. I think it's something to do with those bugs.

Sonic: This stinks like Robotnik.

Ayla: Big time.

Rudy: We could do with a bit of help here, hedgehogs.

Sonic: Eh, what do think? *Sonia, Manic, & I nodded* You got it, Rudy.

Manic: First, we gotta catch one of those bottle flies.

Sonia: Oh, ick!

Ayla: First, we should check out the village.

Sonia: Sonic, why don't you check it out and when you get back, we'll make a plan to get those icky bugs. Ugh!

Sonic: No prob. Back in a flash.

Manic: I'm with you, bro.

Sonic: Sorry, guy. No time. This calls for a speed warp.

*He zoomed away & Manic stomped behind the van. Soon, he came back with his hoverboard, got it, & flew off in Sonic's direction*

Sonia: Manic, where are you going!?

Rudy: Come back, mate!

Manic: If Sonic can go, solo. So can I. I'm gonna find those flies.

Sonia: But Sonic's faster! Manic, no! Come back!

Ayla: Oh, brother. *I got out my board* I'll go get him.

*I flew after him*

Sonia: Ayla! Not you too!


*I followed Manic as he surfed through the clouds*

Manic: Yahoo!

Ayla: Manic! Slow down!

*Suddenly, an orange fly appeared in front of him*

Manic: Huh? *it landed on his nose & stung him* OUCH!

Ayla: Manic! Are you okay!?

*He didn't answer. Instead, his nose swelled up & then looked like he was in a daze*

Manic: Must report.

Ayla: Huh? Report where?

*He flew in the opposite direction*

Manic: Must report to Robotnik.

Ayla: Robotnik!? Manic! *I flew after him & grabbed his arm* Manic! Stop! Snap out of it! *he didn't stop. Instead, he grabbed my arm with his other hand & threw me away in the opposite direction. he then flew away. it was too late to catch up with him now* Oh man. I gotta tell the others.


(Third-Person POV)

*Rudy was looking through binoculars for something*

Sonia: Any sign of Manic or Ayla?

Rudy: Not yet. *just then, he saw a blue streak coming towards them* Wait. Something's coming. It's moving too fast. I can't tell what it is!

Sonic:*off-screen* It's me!

*They turned around & saw Sonic leaning against the van*

Rudy: My village? Did you see -

Sonic: Sorry, bud. It's burned. Gone. No sign of Freedom Fighters.

Rudy: NO!

*He fell to his knees on despair*

Sonia: We'll find em, Rudy.

Rudy: We've got to stop them. It's those flies.

Sonic: Oh, yeah. Almost forgot. *he took out a glass jar* Check this sucker out. *Rudy took the jar, shook it, opened it, & an orange metal fly fell out* Hay, where's Manic and Ayla?

Sonia: Manic wanted to get one of those *she shuddered* awful flies and he's not back yet. Ayla went aft him and neither of them are back yet. I'm worried, Sonic.

Rudy: They're Robotnik's flies alright. Metal.

Sonic: Fake flies with full metal jackets. Oh, just what we need.

Sonia: How do the fly bots make you loyal to Robotnik?

*Rudy opened the fly-bot & found a green liquid inside*

Rudy: Must be this serum. They inject it through their stingers.

Sonic: And boom! You're pledging allegiance to Buttnik!

*Just then, Ayla flew in on her hoverboard, looking panicked*


(Ayla's POV)

*I flew back to the van & found Sonic talking to Sonia & Rudy*

Ayla: Guys!

Sonic: Whoa, whoa, little sis. Where's the fire?

Ayla: Manic's been stung by one of those bottle flies! Then he flew off saying something about reporting to Robotnik!

Sonia: Oh no! Manic's under Robotnik's control!

Ayla: What do you mean? *they explained everything to me* Just when I thought Robotnik couldn't sink any lower.

Sonic: And something tells me Robuttnik going to use him to lure us into a trap.

Ayla: You and me both.

Sonia: So, what should we do when Manic comes back?

Ayla: I saw we act normal for the time being and be ready for when Manic brings us to Robotnik. Then we spring a trap of our own on Robuttnik.

*We huddled up & discussed our next move*


*Sonic paced back & forth while we waited for Manic to come back*

Sonic: What time is it now?

Sonia: Five seconds later than the last time you asked.

Ayla: Would it kill to too have a little patience?

Sonic: If Manic's been gone this long, then there's no doubt now that he's taken by Robotnik.

Ayla: Just remember the plan on he gets here.

*Suddenly, flew down on his hoverboard*

Manic: Yahoo!

Sonic: Bout time, man. Where you been?

Manic: Uh, I'm not exactly sure.

Sonic: I know you wanna help, bro. But disappearing ain't cool.

Manic: Sorry. *he jumped off his board & shook his head* I saw one of those bottle fly things and chased it all over the place, but it got away.

Ayla: They're not real bugs.

Manic: Bogus. So, like, uh, what's the plan?

Sonic: Check out the heavy-hitters.

*He pointed to the cannons we just installed on the van*

Manic: Whoa, awesome! Where'd you get those?

Ayla: Remember that Stealth-Bot that chased you?

Sonia: We scavenged parts and Rudy patched the lasers back together.

Rudy: Sonic's gonna lure the Fly-Bots into a trap. Then we'll blast them out of the sky.

*Manic got into the van & behind the controls of the cannons*

Manic: Uh, cool. How we doing it?

Sonic: By the oil wells. At dawn.

Sonia: Dawn? Couldn't we make it 9:30ish? I hate to loose my beauty sleep. *me, Sonic, & Manic gave her annoyed looks* Just kidding.


*We all slept in our beds. Rudy slept in a sleeping bag on the floor. Just then, I heard a buzzing sound. I opened one eye to see Manic getting out of bed & leaving the van, while walking strangely. I jumped out of bed & shook the others awake*

Ayla:*whispering* Guys! Wake up! Manic's on the move!

*They all woke up*

Sonia: He's probably calling Robotnik now!

Sonic:*whispering* Now's our chance! Time to launch some major hunch! *I quickly went outside to grab & tie up Manic as he revved the engine of the van & drove the van away* Rudy, we need a place to hide this tank. Any ideas?

Rudy: There's a cave just south of here. They won't find us there.

*Just then, I heard Robotnik's voice coming from somewhere*

Dr. Robotnik:*off-screen* Hedgehog! Come in! Where are the hedgehogs!? I repeat! Where are the hedgehogs!?

*I followed the sound to Manic's fanny pack. I pulled out a walkie-talkie & crushed it in my hand*

Ayla: Better put the pedal to the metal, Sonic! Robotnik's right on our tail!

Sonic: You got, little sis! *he hit the gas & we went really fast. soon, we arrived at the cave. just then, we heard a buzzing sound*

Sonic: I've heard that sound before!

Rudy: Me too.

Sonia: It's coming from his fanny pack!

*Sonic took the pack, opened it, & a red Fly-Bot flew out. Rudy ducked it as it flew around the room. Sonic then summoned his guitar & zapped it with a laser, destroying it. I then noticed an antenna in the pile of broke parts & green serum*

Ayla: This one's radio controlled!

Sonic: Oh man! *he picked up the fanny pack & noticed the holes in it* Bogus! Manic's a hedgehog pincushion!

Ayla: This is how Robotnik's been making the Fly-Bot sting Manic!

*We untied him as he seemed to snap out of it*

Manic: Oh man. I feel like road-kill.

Sonic: Robuttnik's gonna pay for this, bro!

Sonia: Oh, we'll him alright. Of we follow Ayla's plan.

Ayla: Right. Here's what Rudy and I have talked about.

Rudy: First, we use the van as bait, so the Fly-Bots follow it or this place I know.


*Rudy drove the van to our destination*

Rudy: Strike zone, here we come!

*Sonic, Sonic, Manic, & I had our instruments ready*

Sonic: A one! Two! 3 and -

*All singing*

Oh

Never! never give up

Never give up the fight

We'll never give up the fight

Never

Never

Never give up the fight

Never

We'll never give up the fight

Never

Never

Never

*While we were playing, the Fly-Bots followed us all the way to the. Sonic & I then jumped out on our hoverboards & lead the Fly-Bots to the oil wells & destroyed them with the lasers cannons, lightning, & the fire from the wells. Sonic seemed bored until lightning hit him in the butt*

Sonic: YOW!

Ayla: You okay, bro?

Sonic: I'll live. *just then, more Fly-Bots arrived* Well, about time you got here. Let's see. This should be a good spot for a fly roast.

Ayla: I agree.

*As the flies got closer, we moved out of the way when a lighting struck all the flies, destroying them. Sonic & I high-fived*

Sonic & Ayla: Yes!

Sonic: Bye-bye, Bug-Butts.

Ayla: Smell ya later!

*Another bolt of lightning hit Sonic's butt*

Sonic: OUCH!

*More hit him as we flew away. It took all my strength not to laugh*


*We got back to the van & he tried to cover up his burnt bottom by acting casual*

Sonia: Sonic! Are you okay!?

Sonic: Course I'm okay! *he covered his butt & went inside the van* I just wanna be alone!

*Sonia, Manic, & Rudy looked confused. I smirked*

Ayla: 3, 2, 1.

Sonic:*off-screen* OW!

*I snickered. I knew he sat down*


*We drove back to what was left of the Freedom Fighter village & got out*

Rudy: Everything's gone.

*Just then, I saw something come out of the rubble*

Ayla: Rudy! Look!

*A few Mobians came out of hiding. A female lizard with bright pink hair ran towards us*

Rudy: Sheila, you're alive!

Sheila: Rudy! *they hugged* Swat-Bots burned the village. But we got away.

Rudy: Where are the others?

*We watched Rudy shake hands with the survivors*

Sonic: Well, got rid of the Fly-Bots. But we missed Mother again.

Sonic: No biggie. We'll catch up to her. But in the meantime, *he turned to Manic* Now, bro. About your going solo?

Manic: I know. Dumb idea. From now on, it's all for one and one for - Robotnik. Must contact, Robotnik.

*Sonic & Sonia gasped, but I rolled my eyes*

Ayla: Nice try, bro.

Manic: Aw, man! I totally thought I had you there!

Ayla: Sure, you did.

*We all laughed*


*We decided to give Rudy & his friends a little concert before we left*

*Ayla singing*

Takes work to move a mountain

Takes work to cross a stream

But when you're aiming at high stakes

It's worth the work it takes to build a dream

Takes work to go the distance

Takes work to see it through

So when you feel you're on the spot

Give it all you've got to make your dreams come true

Good things don't come easy

Knocking at your door

But if it's worth the havin'

It's worth the workin' for

Takes work to find a rainbow

Takes work to travel far

But though your dreams seem far away

They'll come true someday

You'll reach that shining star

(Keep work)

You'll reach that shining star

(Keep work)

*We then waved Rudy & his friends goodbye as we drove away*
