(ECHO Data Recollection Files... activated...
NAME: Kevin C. King
PASSCODE: ***********
So far, three members of Sonic Five have been activated. One was prematurely activated, however. We still need to work on her a bit. But there was not time, as the Techlabs was bracing impending attack from the Robotex monster. Sydney (SonicWhite) and I managed to escape, but Rob still hasn't come back. Later, we found out that our "big brother" was kidnapped by the Galteans and is about to be examined!
End transmission.)
(The bio-electric chambres in the Galtean Earthbase. Rob is still attached to the biobed and watches helplessly as Divit prepares some of her diagnostic tools.)
Divit: This shall be fun. My only regret is that I'm taking apart an ATTRACTIVE man.
Rob (playing off her regrets): You know, you really don't have to do this.
Divit: Yes, I do. Humans won't accept me, but my mistress DOES. You don't know how fitting this will be. All your little robot secrets will be hers soon, and there's nothing you can do about it.
(Divit prepares a sharp techtool and is tries to make an incision, but a crackling, green forcefield prevents the tool, from touching him.)
A dirty trick. Lower your forcefield.
Rob: And if I refuse? Then what?
Divit: You do NOT want to know.
(Divit slaps Rob hard, and he falls unconcious. Divit then begins her experiment.)
Dr. O: It's in the past. But now that it's happened, what do we do?
Sydney: Whatever it is, we can't give up.
Kevin: I say we take a full attack out on the Galteans.
Sydney: We can't do that. We need more manpower. We need more androids.
Dr. O: I'm afraid that we're weeks away from completeing the last two androids. But I think with your advanced minds and abilities we can get that done soon.
Sydney: Exactly how many can we make?
Dr. O: We only have 2 megaskeletons left. Makiing new ones will take years to develop.
Kevin: Then let's get started with the rest of the android team.
(Rob tries to get up and he sees the form of SonicRed standing over him.)
GalteaRed: Come on.
Rob: What on Earth? You're me.
GalteaRed: No, I'm much MORE than you. But I'll be all powerful once I get my hands on the missing part of the Sonic Charger.
Rob (snapping up to his feet): No way, Red. You're mine.
(GalteaRed punches forward and the two begin fighting. But GalteaRed grabs the Pentium card out from Rob's shirt and he combines the two together. Bursts of air pop out from segments of the SonicCostume.)
GalteaRed: Ha ha ha ha ha!
Rob: Come and get me.
(GalteaRed punches forward, but Rob grabs him and throws him against the wall, decimating a section of it. Rob then rushes out the hole.)
GalteaRed: Come back here.
(GalteaRed chases Rob into the hole, which leads through a series of corridors until Rob reaches the outside world. His first glance of Canada -- post Galtean -- reveals a desolate place of despair and fear. All the humans are now slaves to the Galtean army.) Rob: I don't believe this.
GalteaRed (from behind): Believe it, SonicRed.
Rob (turning around): So, you want to see SonicRed? I think I can grant your request, but first...
(Rob pulls a few unsuspecting moves as the dubious doppelganger is felled by what appeared to be a high-frequency energy wave. The SPC falls out of GalteaRed's hands and onto the ground, where Rob picks it up.) Am I glad I had THAT programmed! (toward GalteaRed) Now, as I was saying, Sonic Charge Red!
(A close-up of his face shows his helmet snapping into place as the rest of his biosuit forms around him.)
GalteaRed: You're a devilishly good looking man, SonicRed. A pity I must destroy you.
SonicRed: We'll see. (clasps his hands together) Red Tomahatch!
(A hatchet forms in his hand. He uses it to hack GalteaRed into a stupor. Surprisingly enough, GalteaRed turns out to be a figure of illusion, as the disguise is destroyed, revealing...)
Robotex. I always knew you were one for tricks.
Robotex: True, but what are you planning to do about it?
Dr. O: Well, your endoskeleton was created in about 9 months. Main computer controls and motherboard programming took about six weeks. The bioflesh... I'd say around half an hour.
Sydney: So will they be powerful enough to handle the Robotex?
Dr. O: After analyzing your battle with Robotex, I incorporated some of the things I have learned into the Sonic Mainframe. I speculate that all of Arachness' Galtoid will be at this strength, so as long as she doesn't plan anything large-scale, they should be powerful enough to beat Robotex.
(A voice over Dr. O's cell phone.)
Technician Jackson: Paging Dr. Oppenheimer, you have a call on line one.
Dr. O: I'll take it here. (to Kevin and Sydney) You two continue; this will only take a while.
Raybin: Watson? I was hoping that you got my messages.
Dr. O: What messages?
Raybin: About the incident that occurred near your lab the other day. Is everyone in one piece?
Dr. O: Don't give me any of your false pity, Raybin.
Raybin: Who said anything about false pity? Listen, I've heard that one person was taken to Canada by that monster.
Dr. O (pretending he doesn't know): Who?
Raybin: Come on over to the great white north and I'll tell you.
Dr. O: I don't have any time for your games. I'm a scientist; I have bigger things to worry about. Raybin: Fine. I won't interfere with your work. Goodbye, Dr. Oppenheimer.
Dr. O: Whatever (hangs up).
Raybin: Arachness, he knows something about what took place near his lab. He has to. I mean, it's his lab
Arachness: He would know less if you didn't take the law into your own hands like that.
Raybin: Listen. I am the law. Do you want promises or do you want results? Zenos: What my sister wants is an opportunity to gain control of New America without your legalistic gerrymandering.
Raybin: I'm not going to take a threat from a pathetic little upstart like yourself. I know what I'm doing. Watson Oppenheimer will come. Either him or one of his little kiddies...
Sydney: From what I hear, dad always wanted a son like Senator Bradley's. Her son died in a place crash last year.
(The two men open their eyes naturally after their ethernet feeds unlock.)
Carter?
Carter: I.. guess so... Man. I've got a headache.
Other guy: And I've got an everything-else ache.
Kevin: I'm guessing that's Neil.
(Dr. O reenters to find his two new creations sitting upright.)
Dr. O: It looks like you two are going to go on a little trip... (suddenly looks at the biobeds) But it looks like we have other matters at hand. Jackson?
Jackson: Yes, doctor.
Dr. O: We're going to need lunch in here. Egg salad for me. Electrolytes for the others.
Neil: What's going on here?
Dr. O: I'm sorry. I should have introduced myself. My name is Watson Oppenheimer. These are my two children, Kevin and Sydney.
Kevin: I really don't know how to say this, but...
Sydney: We're robots. Biodroids. Fully sentient beings capable of human thought and emotion.
Neil (confused): Carter and me... are we Biodroids too?
Dr. O: Yes. I'm your creator and your father.
Kevin: Even Carter?
Dr. O: I'll explain everything later, but now the five of us have a serious problem ahead of us.
(From the front door, Rob comes charging in the door, reverted.) Robin! What's happened?
Rob: I just escaped the EarthBase after fighting Robotex. Apparently Red Speeder knew where I was because I found him after I left. We rode at supersonic speeds just to get here.
Carter: Talk to me, man.
Rob: It seems that the Galtean Ministry is planning an attack on New York.
Dr. O: Looks like we'll need the five of you to defend New York.
Neil: We're gonna be superheroes?
Rob: That's right. Right now, we got a guy named Robotex out there. We's gonna attack again, and we have to be ready.
Dr. O: I know this is sudden, but no mere human can do this. Do you accept the responsibility of the Sonic-V team?
Carter: Why not?
Neil: You got it.
Echo: Registering voice patterns and activating Blue and Yellow Sonic Pentium Charges.
Dr. O: These charges will allow you to transform into Sonic Blue and Sonic Yellow. Use these powers carefully, as they are the last of their kind.
Carter: Yes, sir.
(The alarms go off.)
Sydney: What's going on?
Echo: Warning. An affirmation sighting has been confirmed in Little Italy.
Kevin: I guess it's time to increase the numbers. Ready, Sonic Five?
Carter/Neil: Ready.
Rob/Sydney: Ready.
Kevin: Let's go.
Rob: Sonic Pentium Charge!
(A five-way split-screen is shown, with each android in a slice tinted in their color. The five simultaneously transform.)
SonicRed: Upgrade to full power. Android Task Force...
All: SONIC FIVE!
Robotex: Ha ha; this is great.
(Suddenly, SonicRed comes streaming down a banner reading "Fiesta", and kicks Robotex in the chest, sending him into a tobac window.)
What? SonicRed?
SonicBlue: Sonic Five, you mean. Come on, guys, let's show them what we're all about.
(Italians attempt to get out of the way of the impending fight.)
Robotex: So... what do you think you're gonna do?
SonicRed: What do you say we show him what we can do?
SonicBlue: I'm with that!
(The five attack the monster with a fleet of Lexicons. After beating up on the Lexicons, they focus their energy on their monster.)
Robotex: Interesting. I have defeated you once before, though.
SonicYellow: That's because we weren't here! Care to try again?
Robotex: Gladly!
(Robotex charges the team, knocking them out one by one. Arachness is watching while folding her arms on her purple jumpsuit.)
Arachness: What are the chances of victory?
Synchron: With the new warriors, the chances are approximately 60 to one.
Arachness: I am not pleased. Divit, send in another Galtoid monster.
Divit: How about Extratix?
Synchron: Is it stronger than Robotex?
Divit: Very.
Zenos: Do it.
Divit: Robotex escape! Activate Extratix!
(Divit cracks open an energy orb and releases the Extratix monster to assault Sonic Five.)
SonicWhite: (After using SonicPoles to fight the now-escaping Robotex) Man, where's the challenge?
Extratix: (from behind) I AM the challenge.
(SonicWhite quickly turns around to see the other monster.)
SonicWhite: Where did you come from?
Extratix: That is not important. What is is where you are going!
(Extratix activates his switcher ray to try and switch powers between him and SonicWhite. SonicWhite flips out of the way.)
SonicBlack: My sensors indicate that the frequency used in Extratix's ray is used to... capture the powers of whatever it takes!
SonicBlue: You mean...
SonicRed: Affirmative. It can take our powers, so whatever you do, remain in constant motion!
(The SV-team begins running around. Extratix fires two small cords and strikes SonicBlue, causing electricity from the android to the monster.)
Extratix: Ha ha ha ha!
(SonicBlue rolls away, then pulls out his daggers and leaps into the air. He swipes down and slashes the monster.)
SonicYellow: Let me try this!
(SonicYellow pulls out his SonicBlade and throws it, causing another explosion.)
Extratix: You little androids are a nuisance. Take that!
(Extratix shoots the cord out again and straps the androids together.)
SonicBlack: We're strapped.
SonicWhite: I can't move.
Extratix: Just try to get out NOW, Sonic 5.
SonicRed: Ung... gotta... reach... Buckle.
(SonicRed's hand reaches his buckle, and he opens up the small keypad, then presses the first button.)
:: REVERSE. POLARON. FIELD. ::
(SonicRed begins glowing, and he snaps the cords off.)
Extratix: Huh? How did you...
SonicRed: Alright! Tomahatch!
(SonicRed pulls out the Tomahatch and presses one of the buttons on the hilt.)
:: FINISHER MOVE ::
(SonicRed leaps into the air, and swipes down, cutting through Extratix. Lightning starts bleeding in and out of the monster, and he explodes as SonicRed leaps into the air, turns to face the camera, and lands as the explosion ends.)
SonicWhite: Yeah!
SonicRed: Now that's what I'm talking about.
Arachness: Divit; I am very disappointed in your monsters' failures.
Divit: Yes, mistress.
Argox: I have a plan.
Arachness: Do tell.
Argox: Very well...
Carter: Whoo! Way to go, guys.
Sydney: You were great, Rob.
Rob: Come on. YOU guys... umm.... Neil: Rocked?
Rob: Just the vernacular I was looking for. (laughs)
Dr. O: Children!
All: Father!
Dr. O: Congratulations, everyone. You have done this old man proud. What a battle. We saw it all on the scanners.
Jackson: Hey guys, I got something for your celebration. Champagne!
Rob: All right!
(Jackson pours them all a glass, and they drink.)
Jackson: What do you guys think?
(They all simulataneously spit out, as the screen freezes.)
SONIC V STAND BY...
