No Hedgehog is an Island
(Sonic Underground: Theme)
(Ayla's Theme Song - KC Undercover Theme Song)
Queen Aleena:*off-screen* We do not know what we would do when faced with an impossible situation. How much would we willing to risk to save the world from chaos?
(Ayla's POV)
*It's been a few hours since Robotnik's Flying Fortress was crashed. Right now, we were in the engine room, feeling the whole fortress shake*
Manic: Whoa, we gotta get outta here!
*Water started rushing in*
Sonic: Water! We landed in the sea! Let's hall-haunch! *he zoomed over to a hatch* This way! *he tried to open it, but water came out of there to* Uh . . . Maybe not. *it opened all the way & more water came in* Oh, man! *cough* Why's it always gotta be water?
Sonia: Quick! In here!
*She pointed to another hatch, one without water coming out, & Sonic & Manic jumped into it*
Knuckles: But this is a garbage disposal! No way I'm gonna be dived up like a plate of leftovers!
Ayla: We'll, it's either this, or drowning! Your choice!
Sonia: Besides, Robotnik would never recycle his garbage. He'd just dump it. Now go!
*She pushed him into the shoot & we followed him. We all slide down a pipe until we were launched outside & landed in the water. Me, Sonia, & Manic came up to the surface in no time*
Ayla: Where's Sonic?
*He came up a second later, struggling to stay afloat*
Sonic: Help! I can't swim!
*He started to go down*
Sonia: Sonic!
Knuckles: Hold on, Sonic!
*He swam over to Sonic & dove down*
Sonia: Sonic! Knuckles!
*Knuckles soon pulled Sonic up & held on to him, along with a rope*
Knuckles: I pulled this off the wreck. *he tied one end of the rope around Sonic & threw us the other end* Hold on to this!
*Me, Sonia, & Manic held on to the other end & he started to swim to shore, really fast. After a minute, we all seemed to be water skiing*
Manic: Hey, way cool! Hey, check this out! *he stood on one foot* Oh man!
Sonic: Oh, I hate water! Let me off of this thing!
*We all sat by a fire on the beach*
Sonia: Ah, that's much better. The wet look is definitely overrated.
Sonic: Augh!
*Water came out of his ear*
Manic: Whoa, bro. I hope there's not a fish in there.
*He & I laughed at that*
Sonic: Very funny.
Knuckles: This is no time to argue! Robotnik's Chaos Emerald is still missing! We've gotta find it before Sleet and Dingo try to use it!
Ayla: We'll need the van.
Sonic: No prob, little sis. I know where to go. Be back as fast as I can drive a van.
*He zoomed away*
*A few hours later, Manic was asleep by the fire & Sonia & I were walking down the beach with Knuckles*
Sonic: Oh, it's so peaceful out here. You can almost forget about Buttnik, about everything.
Knuckles: I can't forget about the Chaos Emerald. We've got to find it!
Ayla: Don't worry. We'll find it.
Knuckles: Maybe I should have stayed on the Floating Island. Great Grandfather Athair warned me that something bad would happen if I left the island.
Sonia: It's not your fault we didn't get the Chaos Emerald.
Knuckles: I know. But Athair's never wrong. *suddenly, a wave of green energy passed over us* This energy.
*Then everything started to shake*
Ayla: Oh my god!
*The ground started to crack under us & Sonia started to lose her balance, close to the crack that was forming*
Knuckles: Look out!
Ayla: Sonia!
Sonia: Knuckles! Ayla!
*She fell in, screaming*
Knuckles & Ayla: Sonia!
*She landed on a ledge on the side of the chasm. But everything kept shaking*
Knuckles: Sonia, hold on!
Sonia: Well, duh! *the chasm started to close* Help! *then she nearly fell off her ledge* Hurry, guys!
*Knuckles jumped to the other side & dug a tunnel, leading all the way to her*
Knuckles: Going up?
Sonia: What took you so long?
*She almost fell again, but Knuckles caught her in time & tried to pull her into the tunnel. Suddenly, more rocks fell*
Knuckles: Uh-oh.
*He pulled her into the tunnel & they made it out*
Ayla: Sonia! *I hugged my big sister figure* I was so worried! Are you okay!?
Sonia: Don't worry, Ayla. I'm okay.
Manic: Oh man. Like, what happened?
*Suddenly, everything shook again & the chasm closed*
Knuckles: Something must've released the Chaos energy inside the Emerald.
Sonia: But the Emerald makes things fly.
Manic: Yeah man. It doesn't shake them apart like a pair of crazy maracas.
Knuckles: The Chaos Emerald is a source power. You can harness it for almost kinds of things. Like levitating a Floating Island or Robotnik Fortress.
Ayla: It's true. The Chaos Emeralds in my world can do all sorts of things. Together or apart.
Knuckles: But if the energy is released without any controls, the result is . . .
Sonia: Chaos?
Ayla: Exactly.
Knuckles: All over Mobius. We've gotta find the Emerald. And see if -
*Suddenly, a tornado of Chaos energy came towards us*
Ayla: Look out!
*We all ran & ducked into a hole until the tornado passed over us*
Manic: Man, that was close.
Ayla: Way too close.
Sonia: Oh, it missed us alright. But it's heading straight for Port Mobius!
*Manic then summoned his drums & played them harder than he's ever played before. We all covered our ears at the sound. The rumbling his drumming made, caused the tornado to go a little crazy & then it disappeared & exploded like fireworks*
Manic: That should do it.
Ayla: Talk about a light show.
*Just then, the van appeared out of the woods & Sonic stepped out*
Sonic: Hwy, while you guys have been relaxing on the beach, the rest of Mobius has been falling apart.
Sonia: Tell us something we don't know.
Manic: Yo, somebody's released the Chaos energy from the Emerald.
Sonic: No wonder things have been so . . . Uh . . .
Ayla: Chaotic?
Sonic: Yeah. Thanks, little sis.
Knuckles: Oh no.
Sonic: Hey. We're not beaten yet, Knuckles. Don't let Chaos get you down.
*We summoned our instruments & played a song, fireworks going off above us*
*All singing*
Oh yeah!
When things are going bad
Don't be angry, don't be sad
We'll find our strength in each other
If our world is upside down
Keep our feet on the ground
Learn to rely on one another
We have to learn to fight
Learn to overcome
Resist with all our might
Learn to overcome
And we can make things right
If we learn to overcome
Na na na na na na
Na na na na na na na na
We have to learn to fight
Learn to overcome
Resist with all our might
Learn to overcome
And we can make things right
If we learn to overcome
Na na na na na na
Na na na na na na na na
Learn to overcome
*Then I sang one of my songs*
*Ayla singing*
Deep inside your heart
That's where it's got to start
There are those who doubt
You will start to sprout
But believe in yourself
You've got to believe in yourself, baby
Got to believe in yourself
Or you'll get nothing from anyone else
Don't give up when people tell you "no"
Keep on searching for another way to go
Go, go, go, go
Believe in yourself
You've got to believe in yourself, baby
Got to believe in yourself
Or you'll get nothing from anyone else
Believe in yourself
You've got to believe in yourself, baby
Got to believe in yourself
Believe in yourself
*Knuckles looked a bit surprised*
Sonic: It's like I say. When faced with disaster, just move a little faster.
Knuckles: You're right. We're not beaten yet. *the four of us nodded* There's one person who might be able to help us now. My Great Grandfather Athair. The ancient sage of the echidnas.
*We drove the van through a mountain range. We stopped at a mountain with a long flight of stairs*
Knuckles: Athair lives in a cave at the top of the mountain.
Manic: All the way up there? Yo, what is it with you echidnas and height?
*We all started to climb the stairs*
Sonia: To think I've paid good Mobiums for exercise classes to do this!
Sonic: Look on the bright side, sis. After climbing these stairs, at least you'll get somewhere.
Sonia: Very funny, Sonic.
*We soon arrived at the top*
Manic: Oh man. Like this Athair dude could really use *pant* an elevator.
Knuckles: He's a hermit. He doesn't have many visitors.
Ayla: Why am I not surprised?
*We entered the cave & found an elderly red male hedgehog with purple eyes, & peach skin, wearing green glasses, a blue robe, & holding a staff inside*
Knuckles: Great Grandfather Athair. There's been a terrible -
*Athair stopped him*
Athair: A Chaos Emerald has been broken. I can feel the Chaos swirling around us. Tearing Mobius apart. *he went to the wall, took out a gold cylinder, & gave it to Knuckles* Take this. Place the pieces of the Emerald inside the canister.
Sonic: And then what?
Athair: There is only one way to stop the Chaos from destroying Mobius. You must make an alliance with Robotnik.
Sonia: Oh no . . .
Sonic: Robotnik!?
Manic: Ah, seriously bad news, dude.
Sonic: Are you serious? Chaos is bad enough, but Robotnik? Ah, we're talking trouble.
Ayla: Well, it wouldn't be the first time I've had to team up with an enemy.
Manic: What do you mean?
Ayla: I have met a Robotnik, or rather a version of him who calls himself Eggman. He's willing to help if it means facing against a greater threat. But, I've also met a version of him who would annihilate everyone just to have a last laugh, so there a good chance this will end in either one of those scenarios. I trust any Robotnik about as far as I can throw him. Which, given his size, isn't very far. But I've learned throughout my life that there are times when you have to swallow your pride and do what you think is best for the people you care about.
Athair: She's right. It is the only way.
Sonic: But, Robotnik? Knuckles, he can't be right
Knuckles: Athair has spoken.
*We left the cave & made our way to the van*
Manic: I'm with Sonic. No way I trust Buttnik around that Chaos Emerald.
Knuckles: Sonia?
Sonia: Well . . . Maybe Athair's wrong. If wiseman make mistakes.
*Knuckles turned to me*
Knuckles: Looks like we're out voted, Ayla.
Ayla: Yep.
Sonic: Don't worry, guys. It'll be cool. We've just gotta find that jewel.
*He was about to step into the van. But when the door opened, Sleet stepped out*
Sleet: Going somewhere?
Sonic: Sleet!
*Then we were surrounded by Swat-Bots*
Sleet: I've got you this time!
*Sonic pressed a button & the door closed. Knuckles quickly dug a tunnel*
Knuckles: In here!
*We all jumped into the tunnel as the Swat-Bots fired at us. We then came out of the tunnel behind Sleet & the Swat-Bot, got in the van, & drove away*
Sonic: Let's haul!
*We all laughed as we escaped, but then Sonia noticed someone was missing*
Sonia: Uh . . . Guys. Where's Knuckles?
Manic: He was right behind me.
Ayla:*in her mind* Knuckles . . . I hope you're doing what I think you're doing.
