Sonic Tonic
(Sonic Underground: Theme)
(Ayla's Theme Song - KC Undercover Theme Song)
Queen Aleena:*off-screen* I built the Hanging Gardens of Mobius for my children. Before Sonic, Sonia, and Manic were even born. Someday, I would bring them here and show them all the trees and flowers of Mobius. All here in this one beautiful spot. But before I could share this beauty with them, there came Robotnik.
(Ayla's POV)
*Today, we were in Canyonopolis, preparing for our next concert in an old abandoned underground parking garage. Well, Sonia, Manic, & I were working, Sonic was just standing around*
Sonic: Can't you three work any faster? You've been trying to hook up this sound system for -
Ayla: About five minutes.
Sonic: Whoa! Has it been that long? Let me show you how to do it. *he started zooming around, putting the speakers in different parts of the room* See? The job's not no prob when you've got the speed you need.
Manic: Oh, we still need to test the sound system.
Sonic: Boring! I'm going to go check out concert security. Back in a flash.
*He zoomed out of the base*
Sonia: Oh, don't hurry. Ayla, sometimes I can't believe you and that other brother of yours are related.
Ayla: I doubt it myself sometimes.
*We started to check the sound system*
Manic: Testing one, two, three!
*Suddenly, Sonic came zooming in*
Sonic: Sleet and Dingo are coming! We gotta make tracks before they get here!
Sleet:*off-screen* Too late, hedgehogs
*We turned to the left & saw him & Dingo standing in front of us*
Dingo: We're here.
Sonia: Oh, thanks for the warning.
Sonic: Get the van outta here! I'll juice and jam till you get away!
Ayla: Not without me you're not!
*I got on my board. Sonia & Manic got in the van*
Manic: Just when I got the house perfectly balanced.
*They drove away*
Sonic: Let's make some music! *we summoned our instruments & shot lasers, but they dodged* Are you guys getting faster or do we need to up tempo?
Ayla: Actually, I think they are getting faster.
*Suddenly, they started zooming around us at sonic speed. Until we were both tied up with chains. Sleet then turned Dingo into a ball that attached to our chains*
Sleet: I'd hate to be in you're shoes.
*He laughed*
*They took us to Robotnik in what looked like a mobile laboratory*
Dr. Robotnik: At long last, Sonic and Ayla, you'll both keep your date with my Roboticizor. Sleet! What took you so long!
Sleet: We would've been here sooner, but the old ball and chain's been a real drag.
*He turned the ball back into Dingo, who was holding our chains*
Sonic: Enjoy it while you can, Buttnik. We won't be staying long.
Ayla: Not that we'd ever want to stay here.
Dr. Robotnik: Just long enough to make make you both my robotic slaves forever.
*He started to walk away*
Sonic: Can I ask one quick question?
Dr. Robotnik: Don't interrupt me! Can't you see I'm gloating?
Sonic: I just want to know how you made Sleet and Dingo fast enough to catch us.
Ayla: I'd like to know as well.
Dr. Robotnik: I owe it all to your Mother, Sonic.
Sonic: What's Mom got to do with this?
Dr. Robotnik: It was Queen Aleena who saved the rare Velocitree in her Hanging Gardens. And it was Sonic Tonic made from the Velocitree that made Sleet and Dingo fast. Any more questions?
Sonic: Yeah. Were you born this ugly or did you have to work at it?
*I giggled at that*
Dr. Robotnik: Roboticize them.
*Dingo started to drag is away*
Sleet: I think we should get paid first. Before Sonic and Ayla are Roboticized.
Dr. Robotnik: Are you suggesting I might try to cheat you out of your reward?
Sonic: Sounds in character to me.
Ayla: Same here.
Sleet: Why don't we discuss this in private?
(Third-Person POV)
*Outside the laboratory, Sonia & Manic were watching from a cliff overhead*
Manic: If Sonic and Ayla have been collared, Buttnik's sure to stash 'em in his new set of wheels, let's go! *they ran up to the laboratory & jumped on top of it* All I gotta do is pop this hatch, *he picked the lock & the hatch opened* and we're in.
*They climbed inside & crawled through a ventilation shaft*
Sonia: You always take me to the nicest places, Manic.
Manic: Just trying to show you a good time, sis.
(Ayla's POV)
*We were almost at the Roboticizor when we stopped in the hallway*
Sonic: You know, now that you've caught us, Robotnik and Sleet won't need you anymore.
*I immediately saw where he was going with this & played along*
Ayla: Yeah, I bet that's what they're talking about right now. Planning the best way to get rid of you.
Sonic: Maybe Sleet'll morph you into a fly and swat you!
Dingo: Keep your hedgehog traps shut! You're just trying to get me r - r - rattled!
*Suddenly, he started to shake, going up & down*
Ayla: What's happening?
*His feet tore out of his shoes as they started to grow*
Sonic: Either I'm seeing things, or you've got enough feet for 10 dingos.
*His feet were getting bigger*
Dingo: What happened!?
*He fell backwards on his back*
Sonic: That was quite a feat with those feet.
Ayla: No kidding. *he spun around, breaking his chains. he then broke mine & scooped me up* We're gone. But not forgotten.
*We zoomed away. Dingo stood up*
Dingo: You can't run away! What'll I tell Sleet!?
*He tried to follow us, but tripped & fell on his stomach. Just then, I saw Sonia & Manic climbing out of a hatch in the wall. Sonic stopped*
Ayla: Sonia! Manic! You found us!
Sonia: Of course. *she hugged me* We wouldn't leave with you. Oh, and Sonic too.
Sonic: Before we vamoose, there's something we have to do first.
*We took them back to Dingo*
Manic: What happened? Did Sleet morph him into a shoe model for clowns?
Ayla: It's Robuttnik's new invention. He calls it "Sonic Tonic." It made him fast, but then it made his feet grow to the size of an elephant's.
Sonia: Must be some kind of reaction. Maybe all his morphing has made him unstable.
Sonic: Who knows? But we can't let Buttnik try this on anybody else. *to Manic* Can you crack the code to the lab's safe?
Manic: Dude, does a Swat-Bot rust in the rain? *he went to a computer & started typing* If I can't break a Buttnik code, I'll turn in my Resistance membership card.
*The light's on the screen all turned blue*
Sonic: Sonia, Ayla, you two snare the tonic. I'll see if Buttnik's Swat-Bots are around. *he zoomed up to a door & pressed a button to open it. he gasped when he saw Swat-Bots on the other side. he pressed the button again to close the door* Yep! They're around!
*Sonia & I went up to a vile of green glowing liquid, which I picked up*
Ayla: I got it!
*The doors opened again & the Swat-Bots were instantly destroyed by Sonic's spin dash. Dingo tried to stand up again, but was hit in the face by a flying robot part & fell back. More Swat-Bots appeared & zapped at Sonic with lasers. He came back to us*
Sonic:*to Manic* What're you waiting for!? You're so slow, you're standing still.
Ayla: Sonic! He's working as fast as he can!
Manic: Yeah, put your jets in retro, bro. *just then, the room filled with white foam that covered the Swat-Bots & us* Guess I overdid it with the fire extinguishers, huh?
Sonic: You never know until you try. Now let's shake and stay in my wake.
*He zoomed ahead, creating a path in the foam that we could run through. We made our way outside & ran away from the lab*
Sonia: The van's this way, guys!
*We ran down a cliff & into a tunnel*
Sonic: Put it into higher gear! *he was the first one aboard the van* We gotta get to the Hanging Gardens to Buttnik from juicing another Velocitree and making more Sonic Tonic.
Sonia: If you want us to move faster, maybe we should use some of this tonic.
Ayla: No way, Jose! *I took the bottle from Sonia* We still don't know if it may make what happened to Dingo, happened to you.
Sonic: Besides, I could teach you to be fast, if you weren't such slow learners.
Ayla: Sonic!
Sonic: What?
*He & I got on board the van*
(Third-Person POV)
Sonia: Sonic us so full of himself. He acts like just because he's fast, he's the leader. At least Ayla doesn't rub it in.
*They got in the van*
Manic: His tude's really burning me up. And we're not talking a slow burn, know what I mean?
Sonia: Somebody needs to put Sonic in his place.
(Ayla's POV)
*We drove across the desert*
Sonic: We outta reach the Hanging Gardens by morning. I just hope we beat Buttnik there.
Ayla: Me too.
*Suddenly, we felt the van jolt*
Sonic: Bummer-may-horus! A blow-out! *we got out to check the tire* We're talking flatter than Dingo's brainwaves. I'll scout around for Buttnik, while you three change the tire.
*He zoomed away*
Manic: Hey, bro. Why do we always get the dirty work? *but he was already too far away to hear him* It's not fair.
Sonia: If we were fast fast as Sonic, we wouldn't rest us this way.
Ayla: Uh, guys . . .
Manic: We've got a need for speed.
*The two of them summoned their instruments & played a song*
*Sonia & Manic singing*
("Wadyadya-ba-ba-ba-da-dum")
"(Wadyadya")
*Manic singing*
I wish I could go faster
I really wish I was the fastest thing alive
*Sonia singing*
Here comes that sonic blaster
And like a comet I'd go streakin' cross the sky
("Wadyadya-ba-ba-ba-da-dum")
"(Wadyadya")
*Manic singing*
I'd like to be the one that everyone says look at him go
He makes the drumsticks smoke, who is that guy?
Well that's me
*Sonia singing l*
If I could just accelerate my life would be great
My legs would be a blur, wow look at her she can really fly
She flies
*Both singing*
I wish I could go faster
I really wish I was the fastest thing alive
("Wadyadya-ba-ba-ba-da-dum")
"(Wadyadya")
Here comes that sonic blaster
And like a comet I'd go streakin' cross the sky
("Wadyadya-ba-ba-ba-da-dum")
"(Wadyadya")
Oh yeah
("Wadyadya-ba-ba-ba-da-dum")
"(Wadyadya")
Oh whoa
("Wadyadya-ba-ba-ba-da-dum")
"(Wadyadya")
Oh yeah . . .
*They went inside & I followed them. They both reached for the vile of Sonic Tonic. Then that hesitated*
Sonia: What if the same happens to us that happened to Dingo?
Manic: You said it yourself, Dingo's unstable. He always morphing into something. No way it could happen to us. No way. It's the only way we'll ever be as fast as Sonic.
Sonia: Okay. Let's do it.
Ayla: Hold it! *I swiped the vile from Manic* There's no way I'm going through let either of you take that risk. Look, guys. I get that you guys want to get back at Sonic for the teasing he's been giving us lately, but sometimes more speed isn't always the answer.
Manic: Easy for you to say, you can easily catch up to Sonic on your board.
Ayla: Manic, believe me. Sometimes, putting the breaks on let's you see things more clearly.
Sonia: Look, Ayla, that may be fine for you. But going fast is what really matters right now.
*I groaned*
Ayla: Okay, fine! Don't listen to me! *I gave the vile back to Manic* If you guys need me, I'm going to fix that tire!
*I slammed the door as I went back outside*
*I had just gotten the van jacked up, with Sonia & Manic leaning against the van, when Sonic arrived*
Sonic: What is this!? Why is Ayla doing all the work!? Even you two slow-pokes could've changed that tire by now. Sleet and Dingo are on their way to the Hanging Gardens, I'll run ahead while you help Ayla change the tire.
*He was about to zoom away, but Sonia stopped him*
Sonia: No, you change the tire. While I run ahead.
*She zoomed away, leaving a blazing trail behind her*
Sonic: Did you see that!? She did it, didn't she!? She used the tonic!
Manic: Hey, sis! Wait for me!
*He zoomed after her*
Sonic: Manic's fast too! *he went inside & picked up the vile* How could they both be so dumb!?
Ayla: I'm sorry, Sonic. I tried to stop them, but they wouldn't listen to me.
Sonic: It's okay, Ayla. It's not your fault. We'd better get after them. *he threw the vile into the air & then spun around. he then caught it* Before they start tripping over their own big feet*
*I quickly finished changing the tire, then we both got in van & went after Sonia & Manic. When we got there, they were surrounded by Swat-Bots, along with Sleet & Dingo, & had really big feet. Sonic plowed the van through the bots. We then stopped & got out*
Sonic: Everybody chill. The hedgehogs here.
Ayla: Let them go, Pizza Face, and we'll give you the Sonic Tonic.
Sleet: Robotnik doesn't want it. He has no use for something that doesn't -
Sonic: Looks like we need a Blan B.
Ayla: No kidding.
Sleet: Grab them, Dingo! *I got on my board & we both zoomed, dodging lasers as we climbed up the now dead gardens. we stopped at the top* Climb the pyramid! After them! *the Swat-Bots got on hover-scooters & flew up to us. Sonia & Mania tried to stand up, but fell back down* Come on! Those two aren't going anywhere! Not on those feet.
*He & Dingo started to climb the pyramid. The Swat-Bots were getting closer to us*
Ayla: Sonia! Manic! Try to get away!
Manic: No way, little sis! Not on these ski-feet!
Sonia: Save yourselves!
Sonic: Bummer-may-horus! They can't even stand up!
*I took out what was left of the Sonic Tonic*
Ayla: This stuff is really dangerous.
*I threw the vile away & it landed in one of the canals, making the water glow green*
Sonic: Maybe some Sonic Underground sound would get through to them.
Ayla: Good idea.
*We summoned our instruments*
*The Swat-Bots has almost reached us*
Sleet: They're trapped. They can't get away.
*Sonic started to play his guitar & I sang into my microphone*
Sonia: Manic, our medallions!
Manic: Try it, sis! Give em some sounds.
*They summoned their instruments & their feet shrank. Then they stood up & played. Sleet & Dingo covered their ears*
Sleet: Noise can't stop us! *then he noticed something* What is this!? *just then, all the dead plants started to grow again, really fast. They stopped the Swat-Bots*
Sonic: Wait a Mobius minute. What's going on?
Ayla: The plants. They're growing again.
Sonia: Look at that!
Manic: It's the Sonic Tonic! It grows plants faster then it grows feet!
*The vines wrapped around Sleet & Dingo*
Dingo: I can't move!
Sleet: Wait! I have an idea! *he took out his remote* All we have to do is -
*One of the vines knocked the remote out of his hand & another around his mouth*
Sonia: The Sonic Tonic's made everything like it was before.
Manic: Yeah. And the power of the mucus made our feet like they were before too.
*Sonic & I jumped down to them*
Sonic: There's more than one way to beat Sleet and Dingo.
Ayla: Just ask for a little help from Mother Nature.
*We all laughed & then looked at the gardens*
Sonia: It's beautiful.
Manic: No wonder Ma loved it here.
*Sleet & Dingo tried to break free, but no luck. We decided to play a little song for them before we left*
Ayla:*in her mind* This one's for you, Mom.
*Ayla singing*

(People who care)
Often help make a change
Set people free

Caring people are people with dreams
Who go to extremes to fight for those dreams
Whoa
Yeah
Very rare

But I know one or two
They're people just like you
People who care are just like you
(Third-Person POV)
*From behind a nearby tree, Queen Aleena wiped away a happy tear from face from hearing that beautiful song*
Queen Aleena: Thank you, darling.
*We then drove away from the gardens*
Sonia: You were right about using that tonic, Sonic.
Sonic: Yeah. But you never would've kept the sonic if I hadn't teased you about being slow. I'm promise I'll never do that again. Awe, can't you speed up some? I think I just saw a turtle pass us.
Ayla: That didn't last long.
*We all laughed*
