ECHO Data Recollection Files:
NAME: Carter Shawn Knight PASS CODE: ******Well, I was afraid that once we got back to the Techlabs, some fault would come to us. I mean, given all the media coverage. Some weird thing did befall us, in the form of a teenager claiming to be Pixel's brother. The funny thing is, Pixel never mentioned a brother. Now the Sonic Five have to find out where Pixel's father is, IF he's still alive.
I never said anything in front of young Nick and Pixel, but something about this whole mess strikes me the wrong way. I'll talk to Dr. O about it as soon as I can.
[Somewhere in northern New America. Azritan continues to battle RoboSonic and MacroCarrier. Both Mechatrons are functioning at next to nothing.]
SonicBlack: This isn't working! We need more power!
SonicRed: The rest of the team won't get here in time. We'll have to set the Mechatrons on autopilot and fight this guy ourselves.
SonicBlack: Let's do it. MacroCharge!
[SonicRed and SonicBlack jump out of their cockpits and transform and grow into MacroRed and MacroBlack. Azritan bgins to charge.]
Azritan: You're going to PAY for taking my daughter!
MacroRed: No! You have to listen to us--
Azritan: NEVER!
[Azritan tries to throw a punch, but lands on his face after the RoboSonic gives a flying kick. He manages to get back up and knocks MacroRed down.]
MacroRed: Oh man!
MacroBlack (pumped): How about me, old man!
MacroRed: Kevin, no! We've got to make him listen to us!
Azritan: It will not matter. You WON'T fill my head with your lies.
MacroRed: We're not lying! I'm in love with your daughter!
[Azritan freezes in his tracks.]
Azritan: WHAT!?
MacroRed: You've got to listen to me!
Azritan: You're LYING!
Voice from behind: NO!!!
[MacroRed hears a voice and they all turn around. Pixel can be seen running towards them, dressed in her red plastarmour suit. The other members of Sonic Five soon follow.]
Azritan: RAMONA!?!
Pixel (from below): Leave 'em alone! They're not lying!
Azritan: Then why are they attacking?
Pixel: Maybe because you were attacking them! These are good people.
Azritan (to MacroRed): Is what she says true?
MacroRed: Every word.
Azritan: Then I've made a terrible... AAAAHHH!
[Azritan gets struck in the back by...]
SuperVyzerman: One down...
MacroRed: Robert! What do you think you're doing?
SuperVyzerman: I am doing what I was programmed to. (looks below) And now that Pixel and Sengu have arrived, I can continue with my operation. Prepare to die! [SuperVyzerman shrinks down to regular size and flips to battle Pixel, Nick, SonicBlue, SonicWhite, and SonicYellow as MacroRed and MacroBlack try and ease Azritan's pain.]
Vyzerman: Now you will pay for your lies, Pixel.
Pixel: Oh... man... what now?
SonicYellow (pumping his fist): We'll take him!
SonicWhite (pumping her fist): Right!
[SonicYellow and SonicWhite flip onto the scene with the aim of restraining Vyzerman.]
Where do you think you're going?
Vyzerman: You... cannot... stop me... I have to .. destroy Pixel!
SonicYellow: You HAVE to shut the hell up and listen to reason.
SonicWhite: Yeah! You were just saying recently how much you wanted> her!
Vyzerman: That was BEFORE I discovered her secret! I am programmed to DESTROY Galteans!
SonicYellow (grabbing his arm): Yeah, we'll see what I can do about that.
[SonicYellow tries to reach for the access port on his shoulder, and starts pressing a few of the digitouch buttons.]
Vyzerman: SonicYellow... You are attempting to reprogram me! Unacceptable!
[Vyzerman shoots out an energy beam that sends SonicYellow and SonicWhite back, turning them back into Neil and Sydney.]
Sydney: Neil, what happened?
Neil: Oomph! Man, call me crazy, but I think he knocked the Sonic right out of us!
Sydney: Don't worry, I'll get him!
Neil: Syd! Wait!
[Sydney rushes forward, but Vyzerman pulls out his sabre and lashes it forward. He hits Sydeny's face, cutting some hair off and sending her spiraling back in a shower of sparks.]
MacroBlack: NO!
Pixel (shouting): ROBERT! STOP THIS!
[Vyzerman turns around and faces Pixel.]
Vyzerman: Give up now, and I promise that your death will be made quick and painless.
Pixel: NO! You can't do this to my friends, and I won't let you murder my family!
Vyzerman: And you intend to stop me? I would love to see how.
Pixel: With... with.... Butterfly Wings!
[On that vocal command, large, metal wings sprout from the back of Pixel's plastarmor. They spread out in many colors and are incredibly light.]
Vyzerman: Nice trick, but it will do you no good.
Pixel: Really? Butterfly wail!
[The wings begin to flap, and they send out a miniature sonic vibration disturbance, which knocks Vyzerman over.]
Vyzerman: How did you ... DO that?
Pixel: The good doctor made some advancements in this suit since I came. But do you want to see what it can really do?
Vyzerman: I shall find out soon enough, when I return with enough force to stop you.
[Vyzerman swipes his hand violently and disappears.]
Neil: He's gone!
[The Macrodroids and Azritan shrink down and retroform into normal people, while SonicBlue retroforms. Kevin goes to help Sydney, while Pixel rushes to Rob, who is looking over Adam's body. Her wings contract.]
Pixel: Is he OK?
Adam: It'll take... a lot more than THAT... to stop me. Ohh Ramona... I'm .. sorry that . . . we abandoned you...
Rob: We've got to get him to the medbay. Red Speeder!
[The Red Speeder appears and Rob places Adam at the back, where tendrils sprout out to keep him secure. Pixel climbs aboard with Rob and they speed back to the Labs. The other Sonic Soldiers follow suit on their respective Speeders.]
----------
Arachness: Have you anything to report?
Argox: I've checked our scanners. It has appeared that Azritan has left our sight.
Arachness: How come you aren't retrieving him?
Synchron: He's too fast.
Zenos: And his intelligence is beyonnd any of your Galtoids.
Divit: Not all of them.
Arachness: You have something?
Divit: I just engineered it. It is quick and very intelligent. Gelacyte, come forth!
[Gelacyte oozes in the room as a puddle of gelatinous goo. His bodily form soon emerges from said goo. Soon he begins by forming his hand into an axe and demonstrating his fighting skills.]
Gelacyte can form his appendages into weapons that can pierce through anything.
Gelacyte (burbling-like English): I can retrieve your prisoner, and when I do, he will be made to pay.
Arachness: Do it. And take Argox with you.
Argox: It shall be an honor, my queen.
----------
Adam: I still don't understand the meaning of this. It will take more than what Vyzerman has to offer to take me out.
Sydney: This is just a test to see if you have any lasting damage.
Adam (moaning): Now, where's my daughter?
Pixel: I'm right here.
Adam: You've grown.
Pixel: Fifteen years will do that to you.
Nick: I think it's time to tell her, Dad.
Rob: Tell her what?
Adam: Pixel, I felt a strange premonition upon your eighteenth birthday. You existence here.. and on the battlefield confirmed that premonition. As you know, the plight of the Galteans has been fought on my homeplanet of Galtus for 50 years, and now it continues here on Earth.
Neil: Skip to the the part that we don't know about yet.
Carter: Neil, please.
Adam (resuming his story): Right now, all of Chronos' forces have left Galtus and are headed for Earth in preparation for the Great Rising.
Dr. O: Great Rising?
Adam: Yes.
[Everyone listens attentively.]
When Chronos first came to Earth in what you called your medieval period in the tenth century, he became a hated figure immediantly, and was taken down by a few Knights (which we had recruited from another planet known as Baros 9), as well as our rebel alliance. We could not figure out a way to defeat him, but our priests and Kais constructed a cathedral almost a kilometre under the Earth's crust, and kept him there as a statue. Legends say that he can only be freed by a sacrifice of a child of both planets...
Pixel: You mean... me?
Adam: That's what I'm afraid of.
Rob: I believe I know the rest of the story. Some of his forces were left with two orbs carrying his next of kin, Zenos and Arachness. They later retreated back to Galtus. And this brings us to the present.
Pixel: But why are you here?
Adam: I've come to take you home.
Pixel: WHAT?!
Adam: With the Galteans on Earth, I fear for your safety.
Pixel: What does my mother have to say about this?
Adam: I really can't say. I don't know myself.
Kevin: If I can say something, Mr. B. As Sonic Five, we've managed to protect not only your daughter, but all of New York City against these guys. You know if they manage to get New York, there won't be a force on Earth that can stop them.
Adam: You're right, Kevin. Maybe I underestimated my own daughter.
Dr. O: I suggest we all leave Adam to rest.
[Everyone except Adam and Nick leaves.]
Nick: What happens if they can't defeat the Galteans?
Adam: That remains to be seen.
----------
Gelacyte: My radar shows that the prisoner is inside.
Argox: If you can seal them inside with your impenetrable gel, you maybe able to capture not only the prisoner, but all of Sonic Five as well!
Gelacyte: Ha ha! I'm going to DESTROY them all!
Argox (thrusting his sabre forward): Attack the Sonic Five, but leave the prisoner to me!
Gelacyte: Attack!
[The two Galteans scream and charge towards the Labs, but a sheild keeps them out, throwing them to the grass.]
Argox: I see they actually put THOUGHT into these new labs. That makes our job a little more difficult.
----------
Sydney: Hey Rob.
Rob: Hey Syd.. what are you doing?
Sydney: I'm drawing.
Rob: Really? I didn't know you could draw. (Rob takes a look) That's really good.
Sydney: Thanks. What have you got there?
Rob: Oh, I got these notes and books from Mr. Brayman about Galtean religious rites. Maybe it'll tell me how to stop this Great Rising.
[Rob places a bunch of the books down on the table, and opens one. Sydney looks in.]
Sydney: It's all in Galtean. How can you understand it?
Rob: It's all ideograms. I've deciphered some of the basic core meanings and phrases, and I can use that to easily piece most of this together.
Sydney: So what does it say?
Rob: It's the Scroll of Demons. It says that the secret chamber--
[The lights flash.]
Echo: Warning!! Galteans have approached the exterior of O Techlabs.
Rob: LET'S GO!
----------
SonicYellow: Yeah! Come and get it (taunts)!
Argox: Give Brayman up NOW!
SonicRed: NEVER!
Argox: You have no idea what you're doing, android boy!
SonicRed: I know exactly what I'm doing... saving the world from Chronos!
[SonicRed pulls out his Tomahatch and slashes it accross, sending an energy wave to Argox.]
----------
Nick: Dad! We've got to get out of here NOW, before the Galteans break in!
Adam: We can't afford to retreat to Galtus. We have no way to stop the coming of Chronos.
Nick: The Sonic Five can handle it.
Adam: Sonic Five, huh? They have no idea what's coming... Maybe they can hold the Great Rising... But for how long remains to be seen. (springing to his feet) Ramona. We're going.
Pixel: Dad... I'm not going with you.
Adam: What?
Pixel: I'm in love with Rob. I know he can protect me.. all of us... and that he'll be able to stop the Galteans from ressurrecting Chronos.
Adam: I can't force you into anything. Are you absolutely sure?
Nick: The information you hold can be invaluable to the resistance.
----------
Argox: Okay, Sonic Five, you're going to finally taste my blade.
[There is a loud, pinging sound, and we see a glowing cerulean orb flying through the sky. The orb destroys Gelacyte and knocks Argox down. The orb then flies off into space.]
SonicRed: What was that?
Argox: It's AZRITAN! Now we'll never catch up with him. (sheaths his blade) I shall return.
[Argox teleports out.]
----------
SonicWhite: Those guys must have escaped.
SonicBlue: Well, at least they're safe.
SonicBlack (noticing something): What's this?
[SonicBlack picks up a note and hands it to SonicRed while everyone else removes their helmet.]
Kevin: I'm sorry, Rob.
