NAME: Robin Edge PASSCODE: *****
Sydney detected some strange things happening at Hillard High School. Those suspicions were soon realized when two students, Raymond and Rebecca Lewis transformed into Galtoids Axematix and Posotrox. With the help of the new FiveCannon utility, the Sonic Five, Dr. O, and Pixel defeated the two monsters.
End transmission
(The Syroward. Dr O and Rob enter and start working on panels.)
Dr. O: Prepare the alteration systems.
Rob: Remodulating the C-Converters.
(The Syrotube begins to open and steam pours out.)
Rob: Circuits ready.
(A grey glove begins to move. A pink shoe steps out, followed by the black leg-sleeves typical with all members of Sonic-V. A pink-clad Sonic Ranger steps out. Her uniform has the same black-trimmed skirt that SonicWhite wears. The new android's helmet has a sort of 6-shaped visor and a small hexagon light above it.)
Dr. O: Looks like we did it.
(SonicPink reaches for her helmet and unbuckles the side. She takes it off and reveals Pixel's face.)
Pixel: SonicPink reporting for duty. Sir!
(Rob and Dr. O smile and nod as Pixel tests her uniform.)
----------
Pixel: I need to ask you something.
Neil: Why don't you just ask Rob?
Pixel: He doesn't get out of hyperbolic recharging until 10:00.
Kevin: Understandable. Shoot.
Pixel: Do you have nocturnal mental imaging processes?
Neil: You mean, like, dreams?
Pixel: Yeah.
Kevin: Well, we sorta can't. When we're "sleeping," we are shut off, so we can't have any process of any kind.
Pixel: Oh. Well, I guess I better go.
Neil: Wait. (stops Pixel) Someone doesn't just go and ask about dreams without something behind it.
Pixel: I don't know what you're talking about!
Neil: Out with it, Pix.
Pixel: Okay. Last night, I dreamt that I... was the sixth Sonic Ranger.
Neil: You're crazy.
Pixel: (playing it off) I guess you're right. I'm going to go into town for some more groceries. Do you two want anything?
Kevin: Some Powersauce would be nice.
Neil: I knew you were going to ask. Here (gives Pixel a piece of paper). I made a list.
Pixel: (looking over the list) Yes you did.
----------
Posotrox: Where is it?
Axematix: The Robotex shell has to be here somewhere. I remember that they retracted it in battle.
Posotrox: Yes, because it was too weak.
Axematix: Over there. The shell. Unfortunately, as ghosts we can't touch it, but I know someone who can.
(Axematix goes into the computer and begins to process an E-mail to Senator Raybin.)
----------
Mrs. Martinez: Buenos dîas, seņorita. And how may I help you today?
Pixel: This is probably a crazy question, but do you have a pink body suit?
(Pixel steps out of one of the dressing rooms, decked out in pink spandex suit. She picks up some black garments, does a little cutting, and knitting. She exits the dressing room again in a suit that looks a little like the Sonic-V's.)
Pixel: Pretty good. I like it.
Mrs. Martinez: Please pay for this, and be quick because I have some other customers.
(Pixel exits the store in a red overcoat which disguises her costume. Meanwhile, up above, the spirits of Posotrox and Axematix watch.)
Posotrox: There she is! That friend of the Sonic V!
Axematix: We must attack her!
Posotrox: How shall we do that?
Axematix: We have the power of illusion on our side!
(The two become solid illusions and swoop down on Pixel, who starts running. Once she ducks away into an empty film shop, she loses the coat and rolls out the other side in her makeshift SonicPink suit.)
Pixel: OK, come and get me!
(Pixel begins to fight with the specters, but her "moves" go right through them.)
Axematix: We are wasting our time here. We must find Raybin.
(The two specters disappear. After catching her breath for a moment, Pixel notices the clock tower and realizes that it has been two hours since she left O Techlabs. Quickly, she grabs her red overcoat and her groceries and heads for the bus.)
----------
Arachness (entering as a ghost): What is this?
Raybin: I don't know. I'm guessing it's unauthorized Galtean activity.
Arachness: And what do you intend to do about it?
Raybin: Just make it "authorized" Galtean activity, that's all.
----------
Carter: Hey Pix, where were you?
Pixel: Just getting groceries.
Carter: It took you two hours to get groceries?
Pixel: Neil gave me a list.
Carter: Oh, that explains everything.
(Neil comes in from the computer lab.)
Neil: Hey guys... (looks into Pixel's bags and finds several snack items, all of which he takes) Thanks, Pix.
(Rob and the others enter.) Pixel: Hey Rob, I have a surprise for you.
Rob: It will have to wait, Pixel. We've got a situation.
Carter: What's that?
Sydney: There've been numerous sightings of unauthorized alien activity in Coney Island.
Neil: Must want to have a coney while riding the Comet or something. Let's go.
Kevin: Right. Pixel, you stay here in case we need to contact someone.
Pixel: Umm... okay.
(The Sonic Five head out to Coney Island. People are running everywhere. The Sonic Rangers come in contact with a crowd of panic-stricken beachgoers.)
SonicRed: Okay. Something is definitely going on here now. We have got to search every corner of this place. I will head for the beach.
SonicBlue: I'll take the roller coasters.
SonicYellow: I got the games.
SonicWhite: I'll search the stands.
SonicBlack: I'll stay at the parking lot.
SonicRed: Then let's go!
All: Sonic Five!
(The five head for their search positions, while Posotrox, Axematix, and Raybin give watch.)
Axematix: Your diversion worked.
>Raybin: And I have the Robotex program here.
(Robotex appears from a small compartment and growls.)
Robotex: I am prepared to serve you!
Raybin: The Sonic-V are here. Go get them.
Robotex: Yes sir!
Axematix: Wait. Allow us to enter this body.
Posotrox: Yes. Allow us to increase his power.
(The spirits invade the body of Robotex and he begins to mutate.)
----------
SonicYellow (singing to the tune of South Park): Come on to North Brook and leave your friends behind... Silly faces everywhere, goofy third-world animation...
(Suddenly, Robotex sneaks up on him and catches him in a force field, making him silent.)
Robotex: One down.
----------
SonicBlue: They've got to be here somewhere. Wait a minute, what's that rumbling...?
(A Rollercoaster cart comes bearing down on him. He falls several stories right into the clutches of Lexicons.)
Trap! Help!
----------
SonicWhite: Come out. You've got to be around here somewhere.
(Suddenly, Lexicons pop out from around her and fire on her, sending her back in an explosion.)
----------
----------
SonicBlack: What the hell?
(SonicBlack runs as the car chases after him. Then another car stops >him.)
Aw man!
(Lexicons burst from the parked cars and move in on him.)
----------
Robotex: You mean I did!
Raybin: Of course. Now, Arachness must be pleased with our work.
Arachness: While I do not approve of you using a Galtoid without my permission, I do approve of the end result. All five Sonic Warriors.
SonicRed: We've got to get out of these chains!
SonicWhite: They're too strong, even for us!
Robotex (raising his sabre): And now to deliver the final blow.
Female Voice (OS): Stand back!
(They all look towards one of the stands. Pixel, dressed in a full SonicPink costume, pops out from behind.)
SonicPink: Ready for me?
Raybin: What? Who is that?
SonicRed: It looks like a... Pink Sonic Ranger?
SonicPink: That's right, and I'm ready to take you down!
(SonicPink crawls over the top of the booth and poses clumsily.)
Robotex: Lexicons! Get her!
(SonicPink tries to defend herself, practicing flimsy martial arts. One Lexicon tries to rush, her, but she pitifully kicks it away.)
SonicYellow: Geez, she really sucks.
SonicPink: See if I set YOU free.
SonicYellow: Oh man!
(Another Lexicon tries to punch Pixel, but she grabs the hand in mid-air. Unfortunately, she is thrown back and lands on her side.)
SonicPink: Ung!
SonicBlack: Aw man!
SonicRed: We have to help her.
SonicWhite: Yeah, but who is she?
SonicPink (getting up): I'm a friend! Now YOU'RE gonna pay for hurting them.
SonicYellow: Actually, we're OK.
SonicBlue: Shut up!
Raybin: You fools. Robotex; attack her!
Robotex: I'm gonna pound you, girl!
SonicPink: ...oh yeah? Take this!
(SonicPink reaches for her Bioblaster and attempts to fire it. There is no response.)
SonicPink: Oh man! DNA tracers! Now what?
Robotex: How are you gonna stop me, girl?
(Robotex tries to step on her, but she rolls out of the way. As she gets up, Robotex slugs her, sending her back; but without sparks.)
SonicWhite: Ooh.
Raybin: Did you see that? She's not a Sonic Ranger!
SonicRed: We gotta break these... (starts recalibrating his Bioblaster)
(Robotex, punches SonicPink again, and she hits the ground.)
SonicRed: SonicPink! Here!
(SonicRed slides his Bioblaster accross and SonicPink catches it. She fires on Robotex, sending him back.)
SonicRed: YES!!
SonicPink: Watch out!
(SonicPink fires on the chains and the SV crawl out.)
SonicBlue: We're out!
(SonicRed grabs SonicPink right before she's hit by an energy beam.)
SonicPink: Thanks, Rob.
SonicRed: You're welcome... Now, who are you? How did you know who I was?
SonicPink: It's me, Rob (removes her helmet). Man, it's good to get out of that thing.
SonicRed: Pix?
SonicPink: You got it.
SonicBlack: Let's show these guys!
SonicWhite: SonicWhite!
SonicYellow: SonicYellow!
SonicBlue: SonicBlue!
SonicBlack: SonicBlack!
SonicRed: SonicRed!
SonicPink: SonicPink!
All: Sonic Fi-- SIX!
Robotex: I'm going to get you!
(Robotex charges the six fighters while Argox and Zenos counsel with Arachness.)
Zenos: This monster has not been tested for performance. What Raybin did is a mistake.
Argox: I agree with Prince Zenos.
Arachness: Silence the both of you. If this monster is strong enough to capture the Sonic Five, I do believe that he is strong enough to destroy them altogether. And this... (holds a GalteaEgg)... this will finish the job.
(The Sonic Five is still fighting with the Lexicons and the altered Robotex when Arachness throws the egg. Robotex catches it and bites into it, causing him to grow.)
SonicPink (sans helmet): Big ... BIG problem.
SonicRed: We know. Thanks for your help. But we better take it from here. Guys, activating Macrodroid program, now!
(The Sonic Five transform into the giant robot soldiers Macro Five.)
MacroBlack: Let's do this!
All: MacroFive!
(The MacroFive begin fighting a very long and arduous battle with the Galtoid Robotex. After a decisive battle, the MacroFive seem to be losing.)
MacroBlue: Can't we call upon our weapons?
MacroRed: Good idea. (The Macrodroids call on their weapons to help fight Robotex. They do little harm on this newly-formed version of the first Galtoid. Pixel watches from the ground in horror. She reaches for her V-Pager)
Pixel: Doc, we have a problem! The team needs Macrosonic, now!
Dr. O: Pixel? What are you doing there?
Pixel: I'll explain later. Right now, I need Macrosonic!
Dr. O: Well... Alright. Do you know how to pilot it?
Pixel: Rob showed me how the cockpit worked. I think I'll manage.
(Dr. O dispatches the Macrosonic, which already assembles prior to arriving on the fight scene. Pixel can't jump high enough, so the robot lowers his hand and Pixel hops on board. The hand raises to the head so that Pixel can get on board. She enters through a door in the cockpit.)
MacroYellow: Macrosonic?
MacroWhite: Pixel!
Pixel: I've come to help. (to herself) I hope I know what I'm doing!
(She proceeds to help the Macro-Five up. Together, the six robots begin to surround the Galtoid. They begin to fire on Robotex, which fells him.)
MacroRed: Let's finish this. MacroHatch Finish!
MacroBlack: MacroCannon Finish!
MacroBlue: MacroDagger Finish!
MacroYellow: MacroBlade Finish!
MacroWhite: MacroPole Finish!
(The finishing attacks slice and dice the Galtoid warrior to a finish. Macrosonic strangely jumps toward MacroRed and hugs him.)
MacroRed: What the..?
MacroYellow: I guess she DID know what she was doing!
----------
Arachness: Don't patronize me, Raybin. I have learned all I need to learn from this fight. And next time, you will have my authorization before launching a preemptive strike.
Raybin: Yes, my queen.
----------
Neil: So how come you weren't fighting with a helmet?
Pixel: Are you kidding? Put this hair in a helmet? You must be kidding.
Rob: But what you did back there was amazing.
Pixel: You think so, huh? (gets closer) You know, I can think of another amazing thing we can do.
Rob: Umm.. uhh... Well...
Carter: I think we better leave.
Kevin: Yeah, umm... We should... No, I mean... How about we.. bye.
(The four members of Sonic Five proceed to a game stand while Rob and Pixel just stay there for a while. That night, Pixel goes into her quarters and takes off her backpack. She unzips it and takes out her SonicPink uniform and looks at it for a while.)
Pixel: Time to put you away.
(She heads to her closet and is about to hang up her hero duds for good, when...)
Well... maybe one more...
