Sonic: Fastest Thing Alive
(Sonic CD Jap. Opening)
EP. 2: Protect Westside Island! Rescue Plan?
"Hey, Tails. I think you should try to get the citizens to get away from here because I'm not sure if it will be safe once Eggman arrives!" Sonic cried.
"Are you crazy? No one's going to believe me if I try to evacuate them!" Tails replied.
"Come on, Tails. I need to be at the Westside shores to stop Eggman from coming." Sonic reminded.
"Rrrrgh, fine! If you think I can, I'll try!" Tails cried.
"That's my boy! Okay, so you convince everyone and I'll stand guard at the shores." Sonic said.
"Got it, but don't die, Sonic. Please. I've seen Eggman's robots and they're strong!" Tails replied, recalling his first encounter with Eggman and his robots.
"Hey, I'm Sonic The Hedgehog! Do ya' actually think some machines can beat me?" Sonic asked.
"Okay, I'll see you after we're done with this, friend." Tails promised.
Sonic and Tails went to their posts, both trying to do their parts in saving Westside Island, and retrieving Chuck Thorndyke back from Doctor Eggman. As Tails prepared to convince his nation about Eggman's attack, Sonic was just arriving at the shores.
"Well, what do ya' know, I made it here before I thought I would! Now, I play the waiting game." Sonic cried.
Meanwhile, Tails flew up to the top of a building high above Westside Island and hands in front of his mouth, getting ready to call out to his village.
"HEY, EVERYONEEEE!" Tails yelled.
Some of the villagers started looking at Tails, with angry faces, getting ready to throw things at him.
"WAIT! BEFORE YOU THROW THINGS AT ME, I'M NOT HERE TO FIGHT YOU! IT'S NEVER BEEN THAT WAY! I'M HERE TO WARN YOU ABOUT EGGMAN'S ATTACK, OKAY!" Tails screamed.
"Who's Eggman?" a villager asked.
"He's the person who kidnapped Chuck, I had nothing to do with it!" Tails cried.
"Shut up, you! We know it's your fault that Chuck is gone, so don't create up names like EGGMAN to fool us!" a citizen yelled.
"FOOLS, why would I have anything to do with my mentor's disappearance? He was my friend, mentor, and partner! He was the only one who cared about me in this place, and you think I am responsible for his abduction?" Tails asked.
"He does have a point, none of us except Dr. Chuck were associated with Tails. So why would Tails just ruin that?" a villlager asked.
"Tails is making sense, but it's still hard to believe him." a citizen cried.
A citizen threw a can at Tails, causing him to rub his head.
"Don't believe this poser! He's just a fraud! I bet him and that blue hedgehog are in on this! They're going to have us kidnapped next! Am I right?" the can-thrower asked.
"Hey, yeah! How convient that right when that hedgehog enters the village, Tails' attitude changes! They ARE in one it together!" a villager yelled.
The villagers there started throwing more things at Tails, and some prepared to get to him and attack.
"Aw man, this just isn't my day, huh?" Tails asked.
Winds started racing through the island, and the sky turned dark as battleships were seen above the citizens. The battleships had a vicious man's symbol on them: Eggman's! The villagers looked up along with Tails, and realized his character was real!
"Hey, what's going on?" the can-thrower asked.
"It's Eggman! See, I told you!" Tails cried.
"No, he's lying to us again, he probably set this up!" the can-thrower shouted.
The can-thrower turned around and saw the citizens running towards the hills for safety.
"Huh? But..." the can-thrower muttered.
"GO! I guess I'll have to handle things here!" Tails cried.
"No, I have to do something. After all, you were right about everything, huh?" the can-thrower said.
"Hey, thanks! Can you knock on everyone else's doors and tell them to escape?" Tails asked.
"You got it! GO SHOW EGGMAN WHO'S BOSS! And get Chuck back for us if ya' can!" the can-thrower cried.
The can-thrower ran into the distance as Tails turned around to watch out for Eggman.
"HEY, EVERYONE! I JUST WANT TO ANNOUNCE THAT I AM THE BRILLIANT DR. EGGMAN! AND I HAVE COME TO SAVE YOU FROM MILES "TAILS" PROWER!" Eggman cried from his battleship.
"Wait, what?" Tails asked.
"THAT'S RIGHT! HE IS THE ONE WHO IS RESPONSIBLE FOR CHUCK THORNDYKE'S DEATH!" Eggman yelled.
"Death?" Tails and some villagers asked.
"Yes, he killed Chuck on that fateful day. I was just trying to RESCUE Chuck from him, as we were both fellow scientists who were making inventions for the good of the world! But him and his parents attacked us in our lab, and Chuck was carried away! It was then that Tails dropped him to his sad and painful death!" Eggman shouted.
"THAT'S A BUNCH OF LIES!" Tails yelled.
"Is Eggman telling the truth?" a villager asked.
"Tails..." the reformed can-thrower sighed.
"It wasn't me, don't listen to HIM!" Tails pleaded.
"HMMM? WELL, I HAVE CHUCK'S BODY RIGHT HERE AS PROOF!" Eggman cried.
Eggman dropped the supposed Chuck's body to the ground and it lured the villagers straight to it. Even Tails was curious as he raced to see his mentor's body, or skeleton. Tails and the others looked upon it, until...
"Heh, jokes on you, FOOLS!" the Chuck-body cried.
"He's a machine? THIS ISN'T CHUCK!" Tails yelled.
"Huh?" a villager asked.
"GET OUT OF THE WAY!" Tails warned.
Suddenly, the fake machine Chuck exploded, causing Tails and some innocent villagers to get caught in the explosion. Meanwhile, Sonic was still at his post, on the shores, looking in front of him at the ocean as some dolphins jumped in and out of the water.
"Heh, silly dolphins. So when is Eggman gonna' be here, I mean, Tails is probably done in the village. I don't want to keep the little guy waitin, ya' know." Sonic muttered.
The dolphins looked at Sonic as he spoke to himself.
"Look at me, talking to a bunch of mammals. Heh, I should be focused on..." Sonic said.
Sonic heard an explosion far within the island, and was puzzled. He saw smoke rise from the area of the explosion, trying to find out what was the cause of it.
"What? An explosion? But how? Oh, no! Don't tell me Eggman knew I was going to be waiting here and he took the other way! THAT would be REALLY bad! Rrrgh, no time for complaining, I have to save Tails and everyone else!" Sonic yelled.
Sonic leaped into the air, and zoomed away from the shores into an area in the village.
"YOU'D BETTER NOT DIE, TAILS!" Sonic cried.
In the village, Tails tried to regain balance after the explosion, injured and beaten. Tails looked at the ground as he saw dead bodies of other innocent citizens, clenching his fists in anger.
"No...they didn't...They didn't deserve this...none of them did." Tails cried.
"Tails, do not get discouraged! This is what happens when you're trying to fight for what is right. Casualties are apart of battle, they represent our courage and debt. We now know that we were wrong to abandon you in time of need. Tails, you are the hero of Westside Island!" the reformed can-thrower announced.
"Huh?" Tails asked.
"Oh, and call me, Troy... Troy Baker." Troy, the reformed can-thrower replied.
"Okay, Troy. Thanks!" Tails cried.
"Now, everyone! Get ready to fight to save Westside Island!" Troy yelled.
"ALRIGHT!" survivors chanted.
"IT DOESN'T MATTER! I WILL STILL BE THE VICTORIOUS CHAMPION OF THIS FIGHT! ROBOTS, ATTACK!" Eggman cried.
And with that, the residents started fighting the robots Eggman sent to attack. Troy punched a machine's head off, and ended his attack by ripping the circuits of one machine out. Some of the villagers leaped onto the robots to hold them down so they would be an easier target. Meanwhile, a big villager was crushing the robots and throwing them within the sky to explode. Tails smiled, knowing he was among comrades.
"Everyone's trying so hard to stop Eggman. This just means, I'll have to try HARDER!" Tails thought.
Tails leaped into the air and used his tails to destroy five robots at once.
"Good job, Tails." Troy cried.
"Heh, it was nothin." Tails said.
"Rrrgh, how is thing happening? I thought my machines were perfect! Wait..." Eggman thought.
Eggman used his mind to alert one robot that was supposed defeated, and ordered it to grab Troy. It raced up to Troy, and Tails tried to warn his new friend about this, but was already too late.
"Let him go!" Tails yelled.
Eggman flew down from his pod, still sitting in it, he prepared to speak to our yellow hero.
"Hmm... you don't get it do you. I'm not here to attack this puny village! It's Sonic I'm really after." Eggman revealed.
"Sonic?" a villager asked.
"That's right, the kid has a bounty in several places and I'm just doing everyone a favor by trying to give him justice." Eggman stated.
"A bounty?" Tails asked.
"You don't have to believe me, but it's the truth. Sonic is wanted in so many places that I can't even count any longer." Eggman said.
"You're lying, you've got to be! Sonic's my friend, and even if he does have a bounty, I'm pretty sure it was for a good reason, right?" Tails yelled.
"YOU are the one lying, to yourself, my furry little friend. Now, just tell me where Sonic is and we can end this pointless battle. The lives here may be meaningless to me, but I just care about Sonic. I am going to destroy that hedgehog!" Eggman announced.
"No, if he's a friend of Tails', then he's our friend too. We won't give you info on his whereabouts." Troy said.
"Since when did I give you permission to talk? Robot, crush him!" Eggman shouted.
The robot started crushing Troy, causing him to scream. Tails finally snapped, and flew into the robot, freeing Troy of his grasp. The robot backed away, and started short-circuiting. Eggman and Troy looked at Tails with confusion, shock, and somewhat awe(for Eggman at least).
"Thanks for savin' me." Troy said.
"Don't mention it." Tails cried.
"RRGH, I think that was the last robot! I did not want to use HIM yet, but since you're not going to tell me where Sonic is, it's over for this island!" Eggman shouted.
As Eggman shouted, a large red machine rose from above and its eyes were as cold as ice. Tails and Troy looked up at this machine as Eggman grinned.
"WITNESS MY NEW CREATION, FLAMEOS! IT IS AN HONOR FOR YOU TO SEE HIM DUE TO THE FACT THAT HE WAS MEANT TO DESTROY SONIC!" Eggman yelled.
Tails, Troy, and the residents put up their guard and started charging for Flameos, as Eggman's grin widened. Flameos quicky started blasting fire at the residents, and Tails witnessed a large amount of villagers die.
"No, it can't be. THIS WASN'T SUPPOSED TO HAPPEN! SONIC, HURRY!" Tails shouted.
"Sonic won't save you. Even he has a frightened side to him, ya know. If it weren't for him, many people could of been saved." Eggman said.
Meanwhile, Troy started battling with Flameos, but was easily thrown aside and blasted aside. Tails quickly ran to his aid, trying to assist.
"Are you okay?" Tails asked.
"Ugh...Tails...Don't worry...Just save us...Save our island...and save Dr. Thorndyke..." Troy said.
"TROY, SHUT UP! Stop making me worry!" Tails cried.
"I'm sorry, goodbye...I wish I could of known you longer, then we might of been best friends..." Troy replied.
And with his last words, Troy left Tails to finish the battle. Tears raced down Tails' eyes. Anger spouted from them as well. Right when he made friends. It was taken away from him. Now he was truly angered, Tails flew within the sky and started attacking Flameos, actually effecting him. Eggman looked as Tails punched Flameos, fearing some circuits could be damaged. Tails kept attacking until he spied a red emerald in the middle of Flameos, and knew it was over. Flameos threw Tails away, hoping to kill him. Eggman smiled at Flameos' evil deed.
"Yes! Finally, the stage is set for Sonic's demise! THIS WHOLE ISLAND WILL BE HIS OWN GRAVE!" Eggman cried.
Right as Tails was about to hit a wall and die, a blue hurricane ran down from the building and rescued him.
"WHAT?" Eggman asked.
"Who...saved...me?" Tails asked.
It was Sonic, he had finally arrived to take care of Eggman. Eggman smiled once more, and figured his plan had worked out in the end anyway.
"So you've come, Sonic. I was waiting, everyone here, especially Tails were hoping you could join us in our little game." Eggman said.
"You...made...it...heh heh..." Tails muttered, before fainting.
"Huh?" Sonic asked.
Sonic looked around at the surrounding area and saw the bodies of all the Westside Island residents, even Troy's. Anger and guilt overpowered Sonic's ambition, and he looked upon Eggman's smiling face with rage.
"You've gone too far this time, Eggman. Now, I'll make sure you're finished!" Sonic yelled.
"How can you do that?" Eggman asked.
"LIKE THIS!" Sonic cried, leaping towards Eggman until halted by Flameos.
"Oh, yes. I see you two haven't been properly introduced. This is Flameos, a robot creation of mine. And Flameos, this is well, you know. The hedgehog that I want destroyed." Eggman said.
"Heh, I'm glad he already knows about me. Now, the real fight can start! HA!" Sonic yelled.
Sonic jumped into the air and started bursting at Flameos, attacking faster than the speed of sound. Eggman looked as Flameos was attacked, and kept his smile. Sonic continued bursting at his opponent with all his might until he was positive Flameos would not survive the attack. He stopped for a moment, antious to see his progress of Flameos' damage. When the smoke cleared, Flameos was seen with multiple dents in his body and Sonic was happy. However, Flameos' body heated up and began piecing itself back together.
"YES! I was correct! Flameos is the ultimate weapon! Due to the chaos emerald powering him, he's unstoppable!" Eggman yelled.
"Chaos emerald?" Sonic asked, spotting it.
"Yes, my boy. Is that shocking to you?" Eggman asked.
"Not really, that makes it more of a challenge for me!" Sonic cried.
Sonic prepared to steal the chaos emerald from Flameos, but as he did, Flameos' body went up to 200 degrees, and Sonic's hand was burnt. Eggman laughed as Sonic tried to blow on his torching hand.
"WAHAHAHA! There's no way you can beat this one! Oh, no! He's much too powerful for even you, Sonic The Hedgehog!" Eggman screamed.
"He's right. It'll be foolish to attack him if I'd be the one taking the damage! But what am I supposed to do?" Sonic asked.
Tails woke up and looked at Sonic, who was being attacked by an unmerciful Flameos. Flameos blasted Sonic with fire, but Sonic dodged them. As Sonic dodged the attacks, however, Flameos quickly ran up to him and punched him down to the ground, eventually pumbling him. Sonic cried out for help as the residents remain dead on the ground. Tails stood, and called out to Sonic, who looked at his friend.
"What, Tails? Don't you see I'm a little busy here." Sonic said, dodging a fire blast from Flameos.
"Hey, I just thought of something. This thing's basically fire, and water puts that out. So what if we used fire hydrants to weaken this thing!" Tails yelled.
"Good idea, I'll lure him into the place you're talking about!" Sonic shouted.
"Okay, there's five three hydrants surrounding Westside Square, so let's go there! That way, he'll be even more weakened!" Tails cried.
So, Sonic raced into Westside Square, bringing Flameos and a curious Eggman following him.
"Oh, you're running away? No problem, I'm up for a game of tag!" Eggman yelled.
"Yeah, take the bait, losers!" Sonic chanted.
Sonic and Tails kicked two hydrants on their own, and one together! The hydrants spouted water and it rose to Flameos, shocking Eggman. Flameos fell to the ground, pleasing both Sonic and Tails. However, once they went down to see the machine, it rose back up!
"WHAT? But the water directly got to him!" Sonic shouted.
"Hmmm...I guess this didn't work. Let's get to the shores. I've got an idea!" Tails yelled.
So, Tails led the others to the shores as the battle continued.
"So, what did you have in mind this time?" Sonic asked.
"See that chaos emerald, Sonic? I want you to get it, but after me and you wet Flameos again. This time, however, you'll cause the water from the ocean to rise and I'll use my tails to direct it at this Flameos thing! Deal?" Tails replied.
"Deal!" Sonic yelled.
Sonic led Flameos deeper within the ocean, and started noticing the damage it did to him. Then, he used his speed to send the water to Tails, who flew fluently for the very first time. Tails whacked the water directly towards Flameos, and right as it occured, Sonic grabbed the red chaos emerald, and ended his battle with Flameos, with him being the victor.
"No...no...NOOOOOOO! Do you know how long it took me to perfect Flameos? I'll be back with something stronger, you'll see!" Eggman yelled.
A battleship lowered down to Eggman, and two robots exited it. They were Rubet and Arbot: Eggman's best robots! They helped Eggman into the battleship and escaped the area. Sonic and Tails looked upon Eggman, remembering his last, intimidating words: I'll be back with something stronger, you'll see!
