Introduction ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Well basically, this is a Game Script FAQ for the game "Sonic Rivals". If you don't know what a Game Script is, it is basically a FAQ telling you what the characters say during the game (Word by word, as in, a script) and helps you understand the story better without having to replay the game over and over. It also helps people who do not own or want the game keep up with the storyline of the franchise. In this particular FAQ, I will write the scripts of every character's seperate story in the order shown in the "Table of Contents" above. Also note that the asterisks I place in this FAQ are to show what is going on or what has happened. When I use "(( ))"'s, it means I am talking; I do this to seperate my words from the script. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ D. Characters ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ 1. Sonic: Sonic is the fastest thing alive. After discovering that Eggman has turned Amy and Tails into cards, he sets out to save them and defeat Eggman once again. 2. Knuckles: Knuckles is a powerful red Echidna who has lived his whole life in Angel Island, guarding the Master Emerald. The Master Emerald seems to have disappeared right in front of Knuckles' eyes however; Eggman seems to know something about the Master Emerald. Knuckles now sets out to retrieve the Master Emerald and defeat Eggman before Sonic does. 3. Shadow: Shadow is the Ultimate Lifeform created by Gerald Robotnik. Shadow was summoned by Eggman asking for his aid. After discovering something strange going on thanks to Rouge, he sets out to get to the bottom of things. 4.

Sonic's Story ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ------------------- Beginning (Scene 1) ------------------- *The story starts out almost immediatly with a confrontation between Sonic and Eggman* Eggman: Ho ho ho ho! It's been a while, hasn't it, Sonic? Sonic: Hey, Eggman! What have you done with Amy and Tails!? *Eggman takes out two cards* Eggman: Not to worry, they're sound asleep inside these cards. *Knuckles appears* Knuckles: Hey, Eggman! The Master Emerald is gone... I'll bet you're behind this, aren't you?! Eggman: Heh heh heh... Yes, that's right! *Eggman takes out a camera* Eggman: This camera lets me turn anything into a card... And I'll use it to create the ultimate card collection! *Eggman takes out the two cards again* If either of you want these cards, you'll need to catch me first! Ho ho ho ho! *Eggman leaves* Knuckles: Wait! Come back here! No hard feelings, Sonic, but this time there's no way you're gonna beat me! Sonic: Okay, Knuckles... Then let's race for it! First one who gets Eggman takes all! *Stage begins* -------- Scene 2 -------- *Sonic and Knuckles have caught up with Eggman* Sonic: All right, Eggman! Hand over those cards! Eggman: Hmmm... I suppose if you win my little contest, I could give you a card of your choosing. Knuckles: What!? That's not what you said before! Sonic: Heh! Pretty much what I expected from you, Eggman. Okay, bring it on! *Boss battle begins* --------------------------- After Boss battle (Scene 3) --------------------------- Eggman: Grr! I'll get you, Sonic! *Eggman leaves* Sonic: Hey, get back here, Eggman! *Silver appears* Silver: Get out of my way, I've got some personal business to take care of. Sonic: Hey! You sure have an attitude. Who are you, anyway? Silver: My name is Silver... I can't tell you why, but I need to get to him before you. Sonic: Okay, Silver. Bring it on... I like challenges! *Stage begins* -------- Scene 4 -------- *Sonic and Silver catch up to Eggman* Sonic: Okay! Now hand over those cards! Eggman: Grrrrr... Silver: Hey! Move aside. I already told you I need to talk to him first. Sonic: Yo Silver... you're starting to get on my nerves! Silver: Enough of this chit chat... prepare yourself! *Boss Battle begins* --------------------------- After Boss battle (Scene 5) --------------------------- Silver: It's too dangerous to get close to him! Hyah! Sonic: Hey, what're you doing!? Wha-! *Sonic is teleported to some carnival-like place* Sonic: Where am I!? Looks like we've been transported to a completely different location... *Shadow appears* Shadow: Sonic! What are you doing here? And where's the doctor? Sonic: Hey, look it's Shadow!? Now I get it, he must be looking for Eggman, too. It must be another race to see who can catch him first! Let's do it! *Stage begins* -------- Scene 6 -------- Sonic: Heh. Looks like I've left Shadow clear in the dust. Guess he's really not as fast as he thinks. *Eggman appears* Eggman: Hoh ho ho ho! That was a thrilling little contest there, Sonic! Sonic: Eggman! What are you up to this time? Eggman: Heh heh heh... You must be proud of yourself, having beaten Shadow so handily. How do you feel about trying out your skills against my lovely Metal Sonic? Sonic: Wh-what? Metal Sonic?! Eggman: Come forth, Metal Sonic! Show this pathetic hedgehog what you're capable of! Now, Sonic, let's see if you really are the fastest thing in the world, shall we? Hoh ho ho ho! *Race against Metal Sonic begins* ----------------------------------- After beating Metal Sonic (Scene 7) ----------------------------------- Sonic: Eggman said something about the strongest and fastest... What's he up to? Ah ha! Looks like I've caught up to him again! Hey, Silver! We meet again! Silver: Sonic! Dang! How did he manage to get back here so quickly? Sonic: Heh! While you've been wasting your time, I've been figuring his next move... Silver: What!? Sonic: If you can keep up, I might tell you what I know! Let's go! *Stage begins* -------- Scene 8 -------- *Silver and Sonic catch up to Eggman again* Sonic: Okay, Eggman! I've proven that I'm the fastest and the strongest! So hand over Tails' card now! *Eggman takes out cards* Eggman: You want this card that badly, eh? Hmm... I suppose I have enough data... But if I defeat you now, there won't be anyone left to get in my way in the present, or in the future... Silver: The future!? You've given yourself away! Sonic: Heh! That's only IF you can defeat me! Bring it on Eggman! *Boss battle begins* --------------------------- After Boss battle (Scene 9) --------------------------- Eggman: Curse you, Sonic! I won't forget this! Sonic: Yes! I got Tails' card back! *Sonic rescues Tails* Tails: Phew! Sonic, you saved me! But be careful! I just know that Eggman's got some more tricks up his sleeve. Sonic: Don't worry! He can try whatever he wants, but there's no way he's getting away with it. *Knuckles appears* Knuckles: Sonic? Is that you? And Tails, too? That must mean that you got the card back from Eggman. I'm too late! Sonic: Sorry about that, Knuckles, but if you're trying to stay on Eggman's heels, you have to be quicker than that. Knuckles: ...You better shut your mouth! So you think you can track down Eggman faster than me? Let's do this. *Stage begins* --------- Scene 10 --------- Sonic: You can't run, Eggman! No matter where you try to hide, I'll always track you down. Eggman: Humph! Mouthing off as always... If you're so eager to finish things, why don't you let me oblige you! Metal Sonic! I command you! Sonic: What, that lame robot copy of yours again? You really need to get ahold of some better toys, you know. Eggman: Heh heh heh... The previous Metal Sonic was able to capture data from your last match... Data I was able to recover! I've already upgraded this new model with that data so that it'll be wise to your little tricks. This time, it's YOU who's going to get sent to the junkyard, Sonic! Sonic: A copy is still just a copy! It'll never be able to top the original! *Second race with Metal Sonic begins* ------------------------------------ After beating Metal Sonic (Scene 11) ------------------------------------ Eggman: Grr! Enough of this already! Let's see how you fare against both me and Metal Sonic! Sonic: Makes no difference to me! Let's go! *Boss battle begins* ----------------------------- After Boss battle (Scene 12) ----------------------------- Eggman: Unforgivable! You've just made me very very angry! *Takes out camera* Fine then! I'll use this camera to turn the whole planet into a card! Sonic: Are you running away again, Eggman!? Get back here and fight! Eggman: Ho ho ho ho! You can just sit back and watch! Farewell! *Knuckles appears* Knuckles: Dang it! I'm too late! *Tails appears with the Tornado* Tails: Sonic, Knuckles, get in! We can still catch up to him in my new Tornado plane! Sonic: Great timing, Tails! Let's pull together on this one, Knuckles! Knuckles: All right then... Now let's teach that Eggman a lesson! *They make it to Eggman's Meteor Base* Knuckles: I'll give you a hand, Sonic! Let's take care of him together! Sonic: Thanks, Knuckles! * Act 1 of Final Stage begins* --------- Scene 13 --------- *Shadow appears* Shadow: I need you to find the truth! I'll help you, Sonic! Sonic: Then let's do this, Shadow! *Act 2 of Final Stage begins* --------- Scene 14 --------- *Sonic and friends have reached Eggman in his "Egg Destroyer"* Tails: Look, Sonic! Eggman's trying to escape in that rocket with the giant camera on it! Eggman: You're too late, Sonic! I've already gathered enough energy to take a picture of the entire planet! *Takes out a card* Once I put this final card through my energy transfer device, the world will be mine! Nice knowing you, Sonic! Hoh ho ho ho! Sonic: That's Amy's card! I totally forgot about her! ((<-- lol at this)) Tails: We have to hurry before he converts Amy's card into energy! Sonic: Then we gotta hurry! You're not getting away, Eggman! *Final Boss battle begins* -------------- Sonic's ending -------------- *Sonic has rescued Amy* Amy: Where... where am I? Tails: Are you okay, Amy? Eggman used his camera to turn us into cards... But Sonic saved us! Amy: Wow! Sonic! You fought to save me!? You're my knight in shining armor, Sonic! So that means we're going to live happily ever after! Sonic: Um... Uh, Tails... Didn't Eggman have other cards with him when he split? Tails: Y-Yeah... There might be some others trapped in the cards that need rescuing... Sonic: That's terrible! We've got to find those cards right now! You heard him, right Amy? I've got to run! See ya! *Runs away* Amy: Hey! Wait, Sonic! *Credits* ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ E2. Knuckles' Story ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ------------------- Beginning (Scene 1) ------------------- *The story starts out with Knuckles looking for the Master Emerald* Knuckles: Dang it... I came all the way to this island looking for the Master Emerald, but there's no sign of it here... Something about this island feels really familiar, though... *Knuckles spots Eggman* Hey! Isn't that... Eggman! That's it! He must be involved in this again! Hey, Eggman! The Master Emerald is gone... I'll bet you're behind this, aren't you?! Eggman: Heh heh heh... Yes, that's right! *Eggman takes out a card* The Master Emerald you're looking for is right here, locked away in this card. *Sonic appears* Sonic: Hey, Eggman! What have you done with Amy and Tails!? Eggman: *Takes out two more cards* Not to worry, they're sound asleep inside these cards. If either of you want these cards, you'll have to catch me first! Ho ho ho ho! *Eggman leaves* Knuckles: Wait! Come back here! No hard feeling, Sonic, but this time there's no way you're gonna beat me. Sonic: Okay, Knuckles... Then let's race for it! First one who gets to Eggman takes all! *Stage begins* --------- Scene 2 --------- *Knuckles has caught up to Eggman* Knuckles: All right, Eggman! A promise is a promise... Give me back that card! Eggman: Hmm... Well, I suppose if you win my little contest, I could give you a card of your choosing. Knuckles: What!? That's not what you said before! Fine, I'll take it by force, then! *Boss battle begins* --------------------------- After Boss battle (Scene 3) --------------------------- Knuckles: I thought I had him, but then he disappeared into the light!? *Shadow appears* Shadow: You let the doctor get away? Hmph! You're useless... Knuckles: What'd you say!? What's your problem, Shadow!? Don't mess with me, I'm not in the mood! I might take it out on you, got it? Shadow: Whatever Knuckles... But first, I've got some business with the doctor! Knuckles: All righty then... Let's see who can catch him first! Shadow: You're on! Let's do it! *Stage begins* -------- Scene 4 -------- *Shadow and Knuckles have caught up to Eggman* Shadow: Doctor! What are you hiding? Knuckles: Hey, Shadow! Mind your own business! Yo, Eggman! You'd better hand over the Master Emerald this time! Eggman: Annoying pests! I'll crush you with my mechanical pets! Knuckles: Bring it on! We'll see who crushes who! *Boss battle begins* --------------------------- After Boss battle (Scene 5) --------------------------- Knuckles: How's that, Eggman?! *Eggman takes out a card* Eggman: Well, well, it looks like you've won. Here's the card, as promised! Knuckles: It's about time! Now hand it over! Eggman: What's the big hurry? Do you even know how to use the Master Emerald card? You use it like this! *Eggman activates the card and a light appears in front of Knuckles* Knuckles: What!? There's that light again! *Knuckles is teleported to a carnival-like area* Knuckles: Dang it! Where did he go! *Silver appears* Silver: He certainly knows how to run, I'll give him that... Hey, you there! Did you see that guy carrying something strange? Knuckles: Actually... he has this weird camera that changes things into cards... Wait a minute... Who are you? Silver: What's you say!? How did he get a hold of it? Knuckles: You...! What are you mumbling about? Silver: Got no time to waste on you. See ya! Knuckles: You little... Get back here! *Stage begins* -------- Scene 6 -------- *Knuckles has caught up to Eggman (Still in the carnival-like area)* Knuckles: Hey, Eggman! How did you make the Master Emerald disappear from Angel Island? Eggman: Hmm... Well... You came from Angel Island, didn't you? What you don't seem to realize is that this IS Angel Island. Knuckles: What!? This is Angel Island!? You're not making any sense, Eggman! Eggman: Heh heh heh. Do you need an explanation, then? Very well! If you can manage to defeat my Metal Sonic, I'll tell you what you want to know. Knuckles: What the...? Metal Sonic?! This oughta be fun! Bring it on, Eggman! *Race against Metal Sonic begins* ----------------------------------- After beating Metal Sonic (Scene 7) ----------------------------------- Knuckles: Come to think of it, the shape of this island is similar to Angel Island... But the real Angel Island is still there, right? So this one's got to be a fake... Argh! I just don't get it! *Knuckles spots Shadow* Knuckles: Hey, isn't that Shadow over there?! He might know where Eggman is! Hey, Shadow! Did you find Eggman? Shadow: Heh... Looks like the doctor got away from you again... Knuckles: Shut up! I was this close to catching him! Anyway, doesn't seem like you've found him either! Shadow: Maybe not, but at least I'm not as clueless as you. I'll see you later! Knuckles: Hey, wait! There's no way you're gonna beat me to him! *Stage begins* --------- Scene 8 --------- *Shadow and Knuckles once again catch up to Eggman in snowy terrain* Shadow: Doctor! Wait! Knuckles: Hey, Eggman! Earlier you said this was Angel Island... What did you mean? Explain yourself! Eggman: *Sigh* Such annoying pests... It may be too much for your puny little brain to grasp, but this is Onyx Island, or Angel Island from the future! Knuckles: What!? The future!? Eggman: Just like I thought... A bit too much for your little brains to comprehend. Enough of this small talk! Time to take care of both of you! *Boss Battle begins* --------------------------- After Boss Battle (Scene 9) --------------------------- Knuckles: Dang it! He got away again! If there's one thing he's good at, it's running. But what did he mean, though? How is this place Angel Island from the future? And what does it all have to do with the Master Emerald disappearing? Arrgh! Gah, it just doesn't make any sense! I've just got to track Eggman down again and force him to tell the truth! *Knuckles spots Sonic* Knuckles: Huh? Sonic? Is that you? And Tails, too? Sonic: Yo, Knuckles! Did you decide to give up on your little quest to track down the Master Emerald? Knuckles: Grr... You better shut your mouth! I'm not letting you make a fool of me again! Let's go, Sonic! *Stage begins* ---------- Scene 10 ---------- *Knuckles reaches Eggman* Knuckles: Enough of this, Eggman! You'd better start explaining what's going on! Eggman: Fine! If you want to know so badly, I'll tell you! I turned the Master Emerald into a card using my camera by taking a picture of it from the future Angel Island. Since the Master Emerald is a unique object that exists across the time-space continuum... When the future emerald was turned into a card, its existence in all the time frames vanished as well. Knuckles: So that's why the Master Emerald disappeared from right in front of me! Eggman: So you finally understand. Using the power of the Emerald, I brought all of Angel Island here, into this time frame. Knuckles: So I see...all this is your fault! Eggman: Ho ho ho ho! I have nothing more to say to you! Go play with Metal Sonic now! *Race against Metal Sonic begins* ------------------------------------ After beating Metal Sonic (Scene 11) ------------------------------------ Knuckles: How do you like that? Eggman: Don't think you've won yet! Let's see how you do against both me and Metal Sonic! Knuckles: One challenger or two, it doesn't make a difference to me! *Bass Battle begins* ----------------------------- After beating Boss (Scene 12) ----------------------------- Eggman: Unforgivable! You've just made me very very angry! *Eggman Take out camera* Eggman: Fine then! I'll use this camera to turn the whole planet into a card! Ho ho ho ho! You can just sit back and watch! Farewell! Knuckles: No! I'm too late! That little... He just doesn't want to admit he lost! *Sonic appears* Sonic: Hey! Knuckles! We can't give up yet! *Tails appears with the Tornado* Tails: Sonic, Knuckles, get in! We can still catch up to him in my new Tornado plane! Knuckles: All right! Let's go, Sonic! Sonic: Let's pull together on this one, Knuckles! Knuckles: All right then... Now let's teach that Eggman a lesson! *Knuckles and Sonic arrive at Eggman's Meteor Base* Sonic: Let's do this together, Knuckles! Knuckles: Thanks, Sonic! ---------- Scene 13 ---------- *Silver appears* Silver: We need to work together for both our futures! Knuckles: Let's do this, Silver! *Act 2 of Final Stage begins* ---------- Scene 14 ---------- *Knuckles has caught up to Eggman and his rocket, the "Egg Destroyer"* Eggman: Ah, so you made it this far, Knuckles. Too bad you're too late! Knuckles: What!? Eggman: I've already loaded the camera onto the rocket. Now I'll be able to turn the whole earth into a card! *Takes out a card* I just need to set this final card, and your puny little island will join my perfect collection, as well! Knuckles: That card... It's the Master Emerald! Eggman: Now, then... farewell, Knuckles! Ho ho ho ho! Knuckles: Hey, wait! I'll take that card back now! *Final Boss battle begins* ---------------- Knuckles' Ending ---------------- *Knuckles retrieves the Master Emerald* Knuckles: All right! I finally got the Master Emerald back! I'll use it to send Onyx Island back where it belongs in the future. While I'm at it, I might as well locate all the other treasures that Eggman turned into cards. This is going to be fun! *Credits* ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ E3. Shadow's Story ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ------------------- Beginning (Scene 1) ------------------- *Shadow's story begins with a transmission from Eggman* Eggman Transmission: Bzzz... Zzzzz... Zzzzzzz... C-Can you hear me, Shadow? There's someone after me! He's... Ah, it's all so confusing! I'm not sure how to explain this! Anyway, follow this signal, and come find me! I'm counting on you, Shadow! ... Bzzzzz... Zzzz Zzp... Shadow: After that last transmission, the doctor disappeared. That was 6 hours ago. What happened to him? *Shadow spots Silver and Eggman* Shadow: Huh? What's this... A silver hedgehog? And... He's chasing... the doctor!? Hey you! What do you want with the doctor!? Silver: Who's there!? You better not get in my way! Shadow: My name is Shadow... And I won't let you harm the doctor! Eggman: Ah! Shadow! Take care of him for me! *Eggman escapes* Silver: Wait! Eggman! Shadow: Hey! Wait! *Stage begins* -------- Scene 2 -------- *Shadow reaches Eggman with Silver* Shadow: So, was this who you were warning me about in your transmission? Eggman: Transmission? What are you talking about? Shadow: What!? 6 hours ago, you asked for my help. Eggman: Why would I ask you for your help? Shadow: What? Why are you... Silver: Hey, wait a second. I think you may be mistaken about something... Eggman: Grr! Stop this nonsense... It's driving me crazy! *Boss battle begins* --------------------------- After Boss battle (Scene 3) --------------------------- Shadow: The doctor's acting strange... it makes no sense, but this has nothing to do with me... Hmm, guess this was just a waste of my time... *Shadow then receives a transmission from Rouge* Rouge Transmission: Bzzz... Zzzzz... Zzzzz... This is Rouge! Can you hear me, Shadow? I've come across something quite interesting about the doctor! I'll fill you in on the details later. Just keep tailing him for now! ... Bzzz... Bzzzzzzp... Shadow: How is Rouge involved? What's going on with the doctor? *Knuckles appears* Knuckles: Hey, Shadow! Did you see Eggman come running by here? Shadow: You let the doctor get away? Hmph! You're useless... Knuckles: What'd you say!? What's your problem, Shadow!? Don't mess with me, I'm not in the mood! I might take it out on you, got it? Shadow: Whatever Knuckles... But first, I've got some business with the doctor! Knuckles: All right then... Let's see who can catch him first! Shadow: You're on! Let's do it! *Stage begins* ---------- Scene 4 ---------- *Shadow and Knuckles catch up to Eggman* Shadow: Doctor! What are you hiding? What secret was Rouge talking about? Eggman: Rouge? Secret? What are you talking about? Knuckles: Hey, my business comes first! Who cares what he's hiding. Eggman! You'd better hand over the Master Emerald this time! Eggman: Annoying pests! I'll crush you with my mechanical pets! *Boss battle begins* ------------------------------ After Boss battle (Scene 5) ------------------------------ *Shadow receives another transmission from Rouge* Rouge Transmission: Bzzz... Zzzzz... Bzzzzz... Shadow! Come in! You'll never guess what I found out! Eggman is really... Aaaaah! Shadow: Rouge! What happened!? ...Bzzz... Bzzzzzp... *Transmission is cut* Shadow: The transmission was cut off... What's going on? *Shadow is suddenly transported to a carnival-like area by a strange light* Shadow: !? This light!? What's going on!? *Sonic appears* Sonic: Looks like we transported to a completely different location... Shadow: Sonic! What are you doing here? And where's the doctor? Sonic: Hey, look it's Shadow! Now I get it, he must be like you're looking for Eggman, too. ((Yes, he really says this, no errors by me here)) It must be another race to see who can catch him first. Let's do it! *Stage begins* ---------- Scene 6 ---------- *Shadow reaches Eggman* Shadow: Doctor! I think it's time you explained yourself! And do you know where Rouge is? *Eggman takes out a card* Eggman: Ho ho ho ho! Were you looking for this? Shadow: Hmph! I have no time for card games! Eggman: Ah, but what if your "friend" were trapped inside this card, eh? Is this still a game to you? Shadow: W, what!? Eggman: This little troublemaker has learned too much for her own good, so I've trapped her in this card. Shadow: I'll figure out what's going on later... Now, hand over that card! Eggman: Ho ho ho! Do you really want it that badly? Then, why don't you test your mettle against my very own Metal Sonic, here? Why don't you show me just how unlike Sonic you really are, then? Hoh ho ho ho! Shadow: Hmph! There's no way I'm losing to some android fake. I accept your challenge! *Race between the Ultimate Lifeform and the Robotic clone of Sonic begins* ----------------------------------- After beating Metal Sonic (Scene 7) ----------------------------------- Shadow: It seems Rouge discovered the doctor's secret and got turned into a card... I'll have to find the doctor and find out what the secret is... *Knuckles appears* Knuckles: Hey, Shadow! Did you find Eggman? Shadow: Heh... Looks like the doctor got away from you again... Knuckles: Shut up! I was this close to catching him! Anyway, doesn't seem like you've found him either! Shadow: Maybe so, but at least I'm not as clueless as you. I'll see you later! Knuckles: Hey, wait! There's no way you're gonna beat me to him! *Stage begins* --------- Scene 8 --------- *Shadow and Knuckles catch up to Eggman again* Shadow: Wait! Doctor! Tell me the secret you've been hiding. Now! Eggman: Ho ho ho ho! *Takes out a card* Perhaps you're talking about this card? Shadow: That's...!? The doctor's on that card! Knuckles: Hey, Eggman! What's going on here!? You better start explaining! Eggman: Enough of this small talk! Time to take care of both of you! *Boss battle begins* --------------------------- After Boss battle (Scene 9) --------------------------- Shadow: The doctor's been turned into a card, too, just like Rouge...? But how would the Doctor have a card of himself? It doesn't make any sense... *Shadow spots Silver* Shadow: Hm? It's that silver hedgehog from before! This all started when he showed up. He's got to know something about what this is all about! Hey, you! Why don't you tell me why you're trailing the Doctor, hmm? Silver: You... You're Shadow! Listen, you don't understand what's going on. Please, take this as a warning. The man that you refer to as 'Doctor'... There's a chance that he's not the real Eggman. Shadow: What? So, then, the REAL Eggman is the one who's been turned into that card? Silver: What?! Eggman's been turned into a card, too? *Eggman appears* Eggman: Hoh ho ho! Are the two of you having fun? Shadow: Doctor! Good timing. I can hear everything I want straight from the Doctor himself! Silver: Sorry, but he's my target! I can't let you through! *Stage begins* -------- Scene 10 -------- *Shadow finds Eggman again* Shadow: Who are you!? If what you said is true, then the real doctor is trapped inside that card! Eggman: Heh heh heh...It seems it's time we stop playing this childish game any longer... You are quite right... I am not Eggman! *Eggman reveals his true identity* Eggman NEGA: My name is Eggman NEGA! Shadow: Eggman NEGA!? But you look like... Eggman NEGA: *Takes out a card* Just like Eggman? Of course I do! For I am a descendant of Eggman! Shadow: What!? His descendant!? Eggman NEGA: Heh heh heh... Now that I've told you the truth ...I'll have to dispose of you! Let's see how you do against Metal Sonic! Metal Sonic has been programmed with all your moves and attack patterns from your last encounter, and now, he will prove to be an admirable adversary for you. Shadow: Whatever! Now, why don't I show that fake why they call me the Ultimate life form! *Race against Metal Sonic begins* ------------------------------------ After beating Metal Sonic (Scene 11) ------------------------------------ Shadow: What's the matter? Nowhere left to run? Eggman NEGA: Heh heh heh... I cannot lose! If I lose now, I won't be able to change the future. Shadow: What!? Change the future? Is that what you've been trying to do? Hmm... I won't let you get away with that! Eggman NEGA: Very well then. It looks like I'll have to put you down myself! *Boss battle begins* ---------------------------- After Boss battle (Scene 12) ---------------------------- Eggman NEGA: Now you've done it! You've made me very very angry! Now I'll use this camera to transform the whole planet into a card! Shadow: Wait! Eggman NEGA! Eggman NEGA: Heh heh heh... There's nothing you can do... Goodbye! *Silver appears just as Eggman NEGA leaves* Silver: No! I'm too late! Shadow: It's like you said before. He was only impersonating the Doctor. Silver: It looks like you've realized who the true enemy is, Shadow. *The real Eggman appears (Possibly in his Egg mobile or a ship)* Eggman: Ho ho ho ho! It looks like you have a problem! Shadow: Wha-!? Doctor! Eggman: That's right! I'm the real Dr.Eggman! Back in the flesh, thanks to you, Shadow! So it looks like we have a common enemy. Want to come along? Shadow: Hmph! Is that a question?! Silver: Very well! Eggman: Then off we go, out into space! Hang on! *They arrive at Eggman NEGA's Meteor Base* Silver: For now, I'll help you protect the future! Shadow: Hmph, do what you want. *Act 1 of Final Stage begins* --------- Scene 13 --------- *Sonic appears* Sonic: About time you showed, Shadow! I'll give you a hand too! Shadow: Sonic!? Heh, just stay outta my way. *Act 2 of Final Stage begins* ---------- Scene 14 ---------- *Shadow reaches the center of the base and NEGA's "Egg Destroyer"* Shadow: This must be the center of the base... Hmm? Isn't that an escape rocket!? He's going to use that to turn the entire planet into a card! Eggman NEGA: It took you long enough to get here, Shadow... Shadow: You! Why are you trying to change the future? Eggman NEGA: Heh heh heh... I'm here to change my destiny! I come from a long line of brilliant, scientists, but that lineage was disrupted with Dr.Eggman's failures! As a result, I have been denied my destiny as the world has refused to recognize my brilliance! So by removing Dr.Eggman's life and failed attempts at success, I will alter our family history forever! *Takes out a camera* Now enough of this chit-chat. Once I set Rouge's card into the rocket, it's all over! Just relax, and enjoy the moment... For it will be your last! Now, if you'll just excuse me... Heh heh heh... Shadow: Now so fast, Eggman NEGA! That card's mine! *Final boss battle begins* ------------------ Shadow's Ending ------------------ *Shadow has saved Rouge* Rouge: Thanks for saving me, Shadow! That was a bit too close for comfort. What were you thinking!? Shadow: Hmph... There's no way I'd lose to someone like him who blames their own failures on the past. Rouge: That's my Shadow! Hey, why not take a peek into our own future? Shadow: Hmph. I'll pass. Rouge: Oh, come on, Shadow. At the very least, we'd be able to do some treasure hunting together. We can start with the other cards Eggman had! Shadow: Do what you like... Rouge: Hey, wait a minute! Come on, Shadow! *Credits* ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ E4. Silver's Story ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ------------------- Beginning (Scene 1) ------------------- *Silver's story begins with a discussion between him and Eggman* Eggman: Ho ho ho ho! You've come all this way to find me... This must be something very important! Silver: Hey, Eggman! I've got something to ask you, about someone I'm looking for! *Shadow appears and mistakens Silver as the enemy* Shadow: You! What do you want with the doctor!? Silver: Who's there!? You better not get in my way! Shadow: My name is Shadow... And I won't let you harm the doctor! Eggman: Ah, Shadow! Take care of him for me! *Eggman runs away* Silver: Wait! Eggman! Shadow: Hey! Wait! *Stage begins* -------- Scene 2 -------- *Silver and Shadow catch up to Eggman* Shadow: So, this is who you were warning me about in your transmission? Silver: Hey, wait a second. I think you might be wrong here. I'm just here to ask him about someone named "Eggman NEGA." Eggman: Who!? Eggman NEGA!? I have no clue who you're talking about! Grr! Stop this nonsense... It's driving me crazy! *Boss battle begins* --------------------------- After Boss battle (Scene 3) --------------------------- Silver: Eggman! I know you know something about that guy! Eggman: Ho ho ho ho! If you really need to know, I'll tell you... But only if you can defeat that blue hedgehog! *Sonic appears and Eggman leaves* Sonic: Hey, get back here, Eggman! Silver: Get out of my way, I've got some personal business with him. Sonic: Hey! You sure have an attitude. Who are you, anyway? Silver: My name is Silver... I can't tell you why, but I need to get to him before you. Sonic: Okay, Silver. Bring it on... I like challenges! *Stage begins* -------- Scene 4 -------- *Sonic and Silver reach Eggman* Sonic: Okay! Now hand over those cards! Eggman: Grrrrr... Silver: Hey! Move aside. I already told you I need to talk to him first. Sonic: Yo Silver... You're starting to get on my nerves! Silver: Enough of this chit chat... Prepare yourself! *Boss battle begins* --------------------------- After Boss battle (Scene 5) --------------------------- *Eggman escapes* Silver: He certainly knows how to run, I'll give him that... *Silver spots Knuckles* Silver: Hey, you there! Did you see that guy carrying something strange? Knuckles: Actually... He has this weird camera that changes things into cards... Wait a minute... Who are you? Silver: What'd you say!? How did he get a hold of it? Knuckles: You...! What are you mumbling about? Silver: Got no time to explain it to someone like you... See ya! Knuckles: "Someone like me?" Hey, I'm Knuckles! Haven't you heard of me? How rude! Asking questions without having the gall to introduce himself! Silver: Like I said before, I don't have time to deal with you right now. See ya! Knuckles: You little... Get back here! *Stage begins* --------- Scene 6 --------- *Silver reaches Eggman* Silver: Eggman! That camera technology shouldn't exist in this time! How did you get it? Eggman (With camera): Well, well... Seems like you're quite perceptive... Allow me to explain... If you can win a race against my dear Metal Sonic that is! Silver: Hmph! That outdated machine doesn't stand a chance against me! I accept you challenge! *Race against Metal Sonic begins* ----------------------------------- After beating Metal Sonic (Scene 7) ----------------------------------- Silver: It appears that Eggman knows what that camera can do... So my question is, how did he get his hands on it? *Sonic appears* Sonic: Hey, Silver! So we meet again? Silver: Sonic!? Sonic: Heh! While you've been wasting your time, I've been figuring his next move... Silver: What!? Sonic: If you can keep up, I might tell you what I know! Let's go! *Stage begins* --------- Scene 8 --------- *Silver and Sonic catch up to Eggman again* Silver: Hey, Eggman! Things are finally starting to make sense... "Eggman NEGA," who I'm looking for, would never let his camera out of his sight. So that means... You must be Eggman NEGA! Eggman: Well now... That's an interesting theory... But do you have any proof? Sonic: Hey, Eggman! Are we done with your little game yet? Eggman: Hmm... I suppose I have enough data to proceed with my plans... But if I defeat you now, there won't be anyone left to get in my way in the present, or in the future... Silver: The future!? You've given yourself away! Sonic: Heh! That's a big IF, Eggman. Get ready! *Boss battle begins* ----------------------------- After Boss battle (Scene 9) ----------------------------- Silver: I can't be sure, but there's something about his speech and his mannerisms... No, it has to be! He's got to be Eggman NEGA! But, if that's the case, then where is the REAL Eggman? *Shadow appears* Shadow: So, we meet again. Why don't you tell me why you're trailing the Doctor, hmm? Silver: You... You're Shadow! Listen, you don't understand what's going on. Please take this as a warning. The man that you refer to as 'Doctor'... There's a chance that he's not the real Eggman. Shadow: What? So, then, the REAL Eggman is the one who's been turned into that card? Silver: What?! Eggman's been turned into a card, too? Dang! I knew that the accident with the camera... *Eggman appears* Eggman: Hoh ho ho! Are you two having fun? Silver: Eggman?! This ends now! I'm going to expose you for who you really are, no matter what it takes! Shadow: No! The Doctor's mine! Stay out of my way! *Stage begins* --------- Scene 10 --------- *Silver catches up to Eggman* Silver: Why not give yourself up? There's no doubt in my mind that you're Eggman NEGA! *Eggman reveals himself as Eggman NEGA* Eggman NEGA: Heh heh heh... If you know that much, then the reason you're here is... Silver: That's right! I came from the future to bring you back! I can't allow you to abuse the camera's power! Eggman NEGA: I admire you determination, but I'm afraid I can't allow you to capture me! I'll let Metal Sonic play with you in order to buy me the time I need to quietly sneak away. Oh, and you'll find that Metal Sonic is a tad bit more of a capable opponent than before. Heh heh heh... Silver: Eggman NEGA! I'm not letting you get away! *Race against Metal Sonic begins* ------------------------------------- After beating Metal Sonic (Scene 11) ------------------------------------- Silver: All right, Eggman NEGA! You're coming back to the future with me! You've been here far too long! Eggman NEGA: I won't let you interfere with my plan! It's time to get down to business! *Boss battle begins* ------------------------------ After Boss battle (Scene 12) ------------------------------ Eggman NEGA: Now you've done it... you've made me very, very angry! I'll use this camera to turn this entire planet into a card. Heh heh heh... There's nothing you can do, so goodbye! *Eggman NEGA leaves* Silver: No! I'm too late! *Shadow appears* Shadow: It's like you said before. He was only impersonating the Doctor. Silver: It looks like you've realized who the true enemy is, Shadow. *The real Eggman appears in a ship apparently* Eggman: Ho ho ho ho! It looks like you have a problem! Silver: You!? Eggman: Don't be rash! I'm the real Dr.Eggman! So it looks like we have a common enemy. Want to come along? Shadow: Hmph! Is that a question?! Silver: Very well! Eggman: Then off we go, out into space! Hang on! *They arrive at Eggman NEGA's Meteor Base* Shadow: That man who was impersonating the Doctor... I can't allow his plans to succeed. Let me help you! Silver: Thanks, Shadow! *Act 1 of Final Stage begins* --------- Scene 13 --------- *Knuckles appears* Knuckles: Hey! It's not wise to tackle everything on your own! Let me help! Silver: Thanks! *Act 2 of Final Stage begins* --------- Scene 14 --------- *Silver reaches Eggman NEGA and his "Egg Destroyer"* Silver: Eggman NEGA! This is the end of the line for you! Eggman NEGA: Ohohoh! I'm impressed that you managed to make it this far. Unfortunately, you're too late! Silver: Liar! You're bluffing! *Eggman NEGA takes out camera* Eggman NEGA: All I have to do is transfer the energy to the camera on my rocket, and I'll turn this whole planet into a card! Silver: What!? That means my future would be destroyed as well! Eggman NEGA: *Takes out a card* If I can't change the future, I'll simply destroy it! There's nobody who can stop me now! Farewell. Silver: You're not getting away with this, Eggman NEGA! I won't let you ruin the future! *Final Boss battle begins* ---------------- Silver's Ending ---------------- Silver: Eggman NEGA... It looks like he lost control of his machine, and got turned into a card himself... As soon as I can collect the other cards, and take care of Eggman NEGA's mess, I'll head back to the future... This time frame will be fine, as long as they're around... Those blue and black hedgehogs certainly are brave... *Credits* ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ F.
