Memorable Quotes

Dr. Eggman

(To Team Chaotix) I've heard good things about you, and require your detective services! And I can pay handsomely!
Metal Sonic has finally transformed!
It's useless! Metal Sonic has combined your data with the power of Chaos, and is super strong! We can't defeat it! ARGH... If only we had the 7 Chaos Emeralds.
What's this, but how? Even with the emerald's power, our chances for victory are slim! It would take a miracle!
So you're the ones who've been playing games with my army! (Egg Hawk)
You knew it was me all along, didn't you?
Hey, hold on you guys, it's no trick! And besides, I plan on paying you! You will be rewarded handsomely for helping me! As soon as I conquer the world, I will PAY you!
(Vector mocks Eggman imitation) Mustached moron?!? I'm the world's greatest... (clears throat) Take him out, quickly.

You'll pay for this! (Egg Albatross)

I'll show you what real evil is! (Egg Emperor)
Take this! (Egg Emperor)

Metal Sonic

All life form data successfully copied!
Ultimate life form data has been copied!
Chaos data has been copied!
All living things kneel before your master!
I'll skewer you!
Burn to death!
GET AWAY!!!!
Hmph!
I'll tear you to pieces!
Chaos Control!
I'll crush you!
Take this!
Ha ha ha ha!
It's too late.
You're all useless now that I've copied all your data.
This victory shall soon turn into despair!
Even the ultimate life form can't stop me!
How appropriate to have a robot overlord rule a robot kingdom!
Long time no see, Sonic, my loathesome copy...
Sonic, I was created for the sole purpose of destroying you, but I can never seem to defeat you! That is why I transformed my own body with my own hands.
But that was the past. Now you're nothing but a speck of dust to me!
See me as I am, no longer afraid of anything!
I shall become the ultimate overlord, ruling as the world's most supreme being!
Gyaaaaaaah! WHY?! I HAD IT ALL!! I am the ultimate overlord, Metal Sonic! I AM THE REAL SONIC!!
It's no use. But why can't I defeat you? [Last words before shutting down for good]

You're the one who's pretending to be Sonic! You're the one who's responsible for taking Froggy and Chocola!

I think my heart stopped... (After being shot out of a cannon in Bullet Station)
Are you playing with that girl's heart again, Sonic?
Heh, no worries, we've got this one!
Maybe...that was the ghost of Shadow we saw earlier.
I'm just warming up!
Already?! (After filling up the Team Blast Gauge)
(After defeating Egg Hawk) Heh. Ready for the junk pile!
Not a very bright move for a genius! (after finishing robot storm level)
Hey, c'mon now! DON'T DO IT, SONIC!
Why would we wanna kidnap Froggy or Chocola?
There's some powerful rain...
(agitated) Well, if I can't convince them, then I'll just let my fists do the talking!
There's something wrong with Shadow! (seeing Shadow's memory loss in the Team Sonic/Team Dark sub-boss fight)

Making robots is the same as breaking them (after finishing robot carnival level)
Hey look it's Sonic!
Sonic, Knuckles, wait for me! (when he realizes he stayed behind, seconds before the decoy mutates itself)
I'm falling!
Wow, my head's spinning. (during loopings like Seaside Hill or Rail Canyon)
What are we gonna do? (standing still)
It's hard to keep up with Sonic... (standing still)
Yeah! (flying far)
You're finished, Eggman! (after finishing Egg Emperor level)
Aagh! (lost all his rings)

Sonic the Hedgehog

Let's blast through with sonic speed!
Hmm, sounds like an invitation to party!
All right, Eggman. Let's get this party started!
Time to crack that Eggman wide open! Yeah, let's party!
Trying to stop us now? [scoffs] What a joke!
Eggman, you're finished!
Marriage?! No way! (defeated Team Rose in Team Battle 1)
Amy, knock it off! There's no time to play!
Eggman! No way off the hook this time! (Beginning of Frog Forest)

Alright! Our next adventure awaits us, so there's no time to waste! Yeah! We're SONIC HEROES!
Now it's time to get serious!
Heh, Because We're Sonic Heroes!
Yahoo! (flying far)
Woohoo! (during loopings like Seaside Hill or Rail Canyon)
Ready anytime! (After filling up the Team Blast Gauge)
So THAT'S Metal Sonic?!
Yo, Tails! Long time no see!
Boy. Amy sure doesn't give up that easy!
We got some time, feeling lucky?
Heh, talk about being stubborn and full of surprises!
Ahhhh... (standing still)
You all ready? (standing still)
The breeze feels good. (standing still)
There must be reason for building a palace above water. (standing still)
I love places like this. (standing still)
Let's get out of this city. (standing still)
What a crazy city. (standing still)
Why not have a little fun? (standing still)
Quite a haunted house. (standing still)
Uaargh! (loses all his rings.)

Conversations

Team Sonic

Opening

[Sonic is running through the desert with "We Can" playing in the background. Tails and Knuckles come flying by in the Tornado 2.]

Tails: Hey look! It's Sonic!

[Tails lowers the plane to greet Sonic.]

Sonic: Yo Tails! Long time no see!

Tails: Sonic! Check this out!

[Tails holds out a letter from Dr. Eggman. Sonic jumps and grabs it, and then begins reading it. The message is holographic as the picture of Eggman speaks it out.]

Dr. Eggman (letter): Muhahahaha!! Guess what, Sonic Heroes... I've finally developed the ultimate weapon! In three days, I'll conquer the world. Think you can stop me? Ahahahahahahaha!

Sonic: Hmm... sounds like an invitation to party!

Tails: What are we gonna do, Sonic...

Knuckles: No worries, we've got this one.

Sonic: Heh, think I'd miss this?! Time to crack that Eggman wide open... Yeah, let's party!

[Tails and Knuckles jump off the plane and follow Sonic through the desert.]

Ocean Palace

Sonic: A sea palace!

Tails: Looks like Eggman's robots are here too.

Knuckles: I'm ready to take them out! If we use Triangle Dive, we can move all around while gliding.

Tails: Let's try getting items if we can.

Sonic: *whistle* This turtle is swimming with a block on his back.

Tails: It looks really heavy.

Knuckles: Well at least he'll carry it and not us. (giant rock) Whoa! What's with that giant rock!?

Tails: It's coming this way!

Sonic: Get outta the way! Here we go!

(second giant rock)

Tails: Ahhh! There are two rocks now!

Knuckles: Looks like its buddy has joined the party!

(third giant rock)

Sonic: Now they're a team of 3!

Knuckles: Woooow!

Tails: Helllp!

Before fighting the Egg Hawk

[The Egg Hawk flies by over ocean ruins.]

Dr. Eggman: Muhahaha! Stop your futile efforts! You'll just make fools of yourselves.

Sonic: Hmph! I think you got that backwards, doc!

Egg Hawk

Sonic: Man! He's sure one stubborn scientist!

Tails: I'm not ready to give up just yet!

Knuckles: That's the spirit, Tails!

Sonic: What'sa matter, Eggman? Got nothing left?

Tails: Eggman, give it up!

Knuckles: There's no way out this time. Give yourself up!

Before Grand Metropolis

[Team Sonic arrives at Grand Metropolis. Futuristic cars are seen speeding through the modern city.]

Knuckles: Looks like Eggman escaped into the city.

Tails: Eggman's robots are taking control of everything!

Sonic: Let's find Eggman and show him the real power of teamwork!

Grand Metropolis

Tails: This must be an automated energy plant.

Knuckles: Energy plant?

Sonic: So, that's energy flowing through those red pipes.

Tails: Those machines are sucking the energy off the road.

Sonic: How low can he go?

Knuckles: We can't let him get away with this.

Power Plant

Knuckles: Wow! What's this?!

Tails: That was close. Look down there! That's an energy storage tank.

Sonic: It's rising! Get to the top, quick!

Before fighting Team Rose

[Team Rose are waiting on a high platform in Grand Metropolis for Team Sonic to show up.]

Amy: Gotcha! My darling Sonic!

Sonic: Amy, what are you doing here?

Amy: Sonic, this time there's no way outta marrying me!

Before Casino Park

[Team Sonic walk along a path at Casino Park.]

Sonic: Boy, Amy sure doesn't give up that easy.

Knuckles: What is this place... sure is bright here!

Sonic: We've got some time! Feeling lucky?

Tails: Sonic! We only have 24 hours left!

Sonic: OK! Let's go!

[Team Sonic run off into the distance.]

Casino Park

Tails: This entire city is like a giant casino.

Knuckles: The buildings and roads are all part of a pinball table.

Sonic: Hah! Pretty cool!

Knuckles: Something's up there... but it doesn't seem like we can go up.

Tails: Let's go over there, Knuckles!

Knuckles: This must be the V.I.P. room.

Tails: High risks. High returns. This room is for high rollers!

Sonic: I'm going to win big here!

Bingo Highway

Knuckles: There's bingo on the table!

Tails: Really?

Sonic: Fun is just about to begin.

Tails: It's a vault!

Knuckles: This must be where Eggman keeps all his money.

Sonic: In that case, guess we can help ourselves!

Tails: Alright! Aerial bingo!

Before Robot Carnival

[Team Sonic is standing on top of a circular platform with Eggman hovering by.]

Knuckles: Eggman!

Dr. Eggman: Muhahaha. Why not have some fun while you can. After all, you only have one day and we know who's going to win!

Before Rail Canyon

[Team Sonic is grinding on rails at Rail Canyon.]

Sonic: Tails! How much time's left?

Tails: We've got until sunset!

Sonic: Tails! Knuckles! Give it all you got... Full speed ahead!

Tails: Okay!

Knuckles: Got it!

Rail Canyon

Sonic: What a view!

Tails: Look at those cannons!

Knuckles: Keep your eyes on the rail, Sonic!

Sonic: What's up with that train?

Tails: Sonic, look out!

Sonic: Whoa!!

Tails: That's an armored train!

Sonic: You wanna race?

Tails: The rail!

Knuckles: They're pulling out all the tricks!

Tails: Look out! Wow, look at all those armored trains!

Sonic: No time to waste here. Let's go!

Before Egg Albatross

[The Egg Albatross flies overhead in the canyon. Team Sonic is running towards it.]

Tails: Sonic, look!

Knuckles: That thing is loaded with Eggman's weapons.

Sonic: Eggman, you're finished!

After beating Egg Albatross

[Team Sonic run towards the defeated Dr. Eggman lying on the floor in Bullet Station. It appears to be a model with an Eggman head on a spring sticking out of its belly, set up as a decoy for the team. The model speaks in Eggman's voice.]

Dr. Eggman (model): Muhahaha! Once again, you fools have been tricked!

Tails: It's a fake?!

Dr. Eggman (model): From these canyons, watch as I conquer the world with my air fleet... And this time, you can't stop me!

[Sonic turns to see an enormous armada of ships in the sky.]

Sonic: Drat... a trap to stall for time! [runs off.]

Knuckles: Sonic!

[Knuckles tries to catch up with Sonic. Meanwhile, Tails deciphers the true nature of the Eggman decoy.]

Tails: It's not an Eggman robot. [runs off to join the others.] Sonic! Knuckles! Wait for me!

[As Tails leaves, the Eggman decoy melts into a silver fluid and reforms into Neo Metal Sonic.]

Neo Metal Sonic: All life form data... successfully copied.

Frog Forest

Sonic: Eggman! No way off the hook this time! Hey, this is sweet!

Knuckles: Who'd ever think this thing could float in the air?

Tails: Look, there's that flower again!

Sonic: Should we use it to fly again?

Tails: Wow! I've never seen a mushroom that big before!

Sonic: Hang on! This flower's heading straight for that mushroom! *whistles* What a sight!

Knuckles: We have jungle mushrooms on my island too, but not this huge.

Before fighting Team Dark

[Team Sonic are exploring Frog Forest while Team Dark are standing on a ledge above them. Shadow catches sight of the team.]

Shadow: Look, it's that hedgehog...

Rouge: Wonder what the big rush is all about? Betcha those guys will end up getting in my way and making trouble.

[Knuckles notices Team Dark above them.]

Knuckles: Hey, isn't that...

Tails: Sonic!

Sonic: Heh. Talk about being stubborn and full of surprises...

Rouge: Long time no see, boys! Too bad you had to come all this way for nothing! We'll take it from here.

Knuckles: What'd you say?

Omega: Sensors locked on Eggman. Non-compliant intruders will be destroyed.

Sonic: Hmm, didn't you know? We have a date with Eggman too.

Shadow: Is that so... well then, it'll be a date to DIE for!

Sonic: Hey! That's my line!!

[Sonic and Shadow spring into battle.]

Before Hang Castle

[Team Sonic is walking along the grounds of a haunted castle. Tails shows signs of fear.]

Tails: Sonic, you sure this is the right way?

Sonic: I saw Shadow and Eggman head this way. This has gotta be the right way.

Tails: But it's so spooky here.

Knuckles: Maybe... that's the ghost of Shadow we saw earlier.

Tails: Whaaa...! Stop it, Knuckles!

[Team Sonic turn their walk into a run.]

Hang Castle

Sonic: What?

Knuckles: What's going on?!

Tails: The castle is flipped upside-down! Aaah! We're turning upside-down again!

Sonic: We're back to normal now!

Tails: U'aaahh!...

Knuckles: Look, the door's opened.

Sonic: Phew! That was close.

Tails: Are we okay?

Knuckles: No problem.

Sonic: Eggman's got some serious problems – Look at that statue!

Tails: Sonic, look! There's a target switch!

Mystic Mansion

Knuckles: What a castle!

Tails: I wonder what's next...

Sonic: It feels like Hallowe'en with all these ghosts.

Before Robot Storm

[The Egg Mobile flies overhead a platform where Team Sonic is standing at.]

Sonic: Trying to stop us now? What a joke!

[Dr. Eggman pounds the Egg Mobile with his hands.]

Dr. Eggman: What did you say? Now I'm really mad!!

Before Egg Fleet

[In the sky, the entire armada of the Egg Fleet is seen. Dr. Eggman taunts at the heroes at their attempt to reach him.]

Dr. Eggman (voice): Muhahaha... you fools must all have a death wish? Witness this invincible battleship, built by the hands of a genius. Its power... unmatched throughout the universe!

[Team Sonic is standing on a battleship warming up.]

Sonic: Alright Eggman, let's get this party started!

Final Fortress

Sonic: This must be Eggman's headquarters!

Tails: The airbase!

Knuckles: How does this thing stay afloat? Doesn't matter; let's take it down!

Sonic: Never thought it would actually self-destruct!

Knuckles: It's blown to pieces!

Tails: Wonder why it self-destructed?

Sonic: It's covered by dark clouds now!

Knuckles: You think you can handle it, Tails?

Tails: I'm not scared! ...much...

Sonic: There's robots everywhere! Time to party!

Tails: Their attack is mounting! Keep your guard up!

Knuckles: I'll destroy everything that comes my way!

Sonic: Talk about humongous!

Tails: Wow! How'd he manage to build something so big?

Knuckles: The Egg Carrier is nothing compared to this!

Sonic: Only four lasers? A hero's welcome.

Tails: One, two, three – four laser cannons! We better watch out!

Knuckles: Even with four laser cannons, that's still not enough to stop us!

Before fighting the Egg Emperor

[Team Sonic confronts Dr. Eggman in his Egg Emperor at the core of the Egg Fleet.]

Tails: This time you won't get away!

Knuckles: Give it up!

Sonic: This looks like checkmate, doctor!

Dr. Eggman: Hmph! Enough of this! Sonic, Tails, Knuckles! Time to meet your maker!

Egg Emperor

Dr. Eggman: I'll show you what real evil is!

Sonic: This is it guys! Don't hold anything back!

Tails: Okay!

Knuckles: No worries!

Sonic: We're the stars of this party!

Tails: The three of us are unbeatable!

Knuckles: Let's see what you've got!

Dr. Eggman: It's not over yet, troublesome fools!

Sonic: I can smell victory!

Tails: Give up, Eggman!

Knuckles: Time to pay, Eggman!

Dr. Eggman I won't go down that easy! Defeated? Impossible! Nooooo!!!

Sonic: Great party, Eggman!

Tails: You're finished, Eggman!

Knuckles: The three of us are unstoppable!

Ending

[Eggman's flagship violently explodes, causing a chain reaction which damages other ships in the Egg Fleet as well. Team Sonic are watching the pandemonium from an intact ship.]

Knuckles: Boy, talk about cutting it close...

Sonic: Eeh, not really.

Knuckles: Come on, tell me you weren't scared. If it wasn't for us, you wouldn't of had a chance!

Sonic: Well, maybe you're right. Thanks Knuckles. You too, Tails.

Tails: Ahehehe...

[Amy appears out of nowhere and finds Sonic.]

Amy: Aha! Gotcha, Sonic! SONIC!!

Amy: Hey, wait up Sonic! Get back here!!

Team Dark

Opening

[Rouge drops down into one of Eggman's vaults while "This Machine" plays in the background. She cautiously puts her back to the door and enters the passcode on the keypad, and the vault opens. She walks inside.]

Rouge: This must be it! I've found Eggman's secret treasure!

[Rouge approaches Shadow, who is resting motionless in a stasis capsule. Suddenly, Omega boots up, marches forward and scans Shadow and Rouge. Rouge operates the control panel and drains Shadow's stasis capsule, freeing him, and the hatch opens. The moment Shadow opens his eyes, Omega violently tears up the place with gunfire. Shadow leaps forward and tackles Rouge to the ground.]

Shadow: Stay here.

Rouge: Shadow!

[Omega continues to blast his weapons around. He tries to aim for Shadow, but he dodges his bullets easily.]

Omega: Must eradicate all Eggman's robots!

Rouge: Huh? [Shadow resists Omega's gunfire and jumps at him in retaliation, but Rouge intercepts and breaks up the fight.] Hey, hold up! [Feeling tired, Rouge looks around the wrecked room. She sits on a ledge and speaks to Omega.] Now I get it... now I know what this is all about. You're mad at Eggman for sealing you in this room. [To Shadow] And you... you can't remember anything, can you? [Shadow doesn't respond, but she takes it as a "no".] Then it's settled. Now you two make up so we can start looking for Eggman, together! [Rouge jumps down and pulls Shadow and Omega closer. She puts Shadow's hand above Omega's, and then places her hand on top.] Aw yeah, baby, this makes us a team!

Before Seaside Hill

[Team Dark are standing on a beach in Seaside Hill. Rouge asks Shadow and Omega if they ready to go.]

Espio: And you are...?

Rouge: Just whaddya think you're doing here?

[Team Dark is standing on top of a circular platform with Dr. Eggman hovering by.]

Shadow: What?

Dr. Eggman: Well, I believe our time is up. I'll see you again soon.

Before Rail Canyon

Shadow: We must capture him first. Let's go!

Before Egg Albatross

[The Egg Albatross flies overhead in the canyon. Team Dark is running towards it.]

Rouge: We got him!

Shadow: Capture him first, then you can have your revenge, Omega.

Omega: Affirmative.

After beating Egg Albatross

[The defeated Dr. Eggman is lying on the floor in Bullet Station. It appears to be a model with an Eggman head on a spring sticking out of its belly, set up as a decoy for the team. The model speaks in Eggman's voice.]

Dr. Eggman (model): Muhahahaha! Muhahahaha!

[Omega shakes his fist in rage. Shadow stares at a damaged robot copy of himself on the floor, making Rouge concerned.]

Rouge: Shadow...

Shadow: Let's go!

[The team head off. After they leave, the Eggman decoy melts into a silver fluid and reforms into Neo Metal Sonic.]

Neo Metal Sonic: Ultimate life form data... has been copied.

Before fighting Team Sonic

[Team Sonic are exploring Frog Forest while Team Dark are standing on a ledge above them. Shadow catches sight of the team.]

Shadow: Look, it's that hedgehog...

Rouge: Wonder what the big rush is all about? Betcha those guys will end up getting in my way and making trouble.

[Knuckles notices Team Dark above them.]

Knuckles: Hey, isn't that...

Tails: Sonic!

Sonic: Heh. Talk about being stubborn and full of surprises...

Rouge: Long time no see, boys! Too bad you had to come all this way for nothing! We'll take it from here.

Knuckles: What'd you say?

[Sonic and Shadow spring into a battle.]

Before Hang Castle

[Team Dark is standing on the grounds of a haunted castle. Rouge asks about the directions.]

Rouge: Are you sure this is right way?

Omega: Affirmative.

Rouge: What's up? Something on your mind?

Shadow: Well never mind! Let's go. [Shadow starts walking with Rouge and Omega and thinks about Sonic.] That blue hedgehog like me... What did the doctor say about my memory... And just who am I?

Before Robot Storm

The Egg Mobile flies overhead a platform where Team Dark is standing at.]

Shadow: What do you think, Omega?

Omega: Sensors jammed. Real Eggman ID not possible.

Rouge: We'll just have to find out, won't we?

Dr. Eggman: What's the matter? Cold feet? Well, then. Here I come!

Before Egg Fleet

[In the sky, the entire armada of the Egg Fleet is seen. Dr. Eggman taunts at the heroes at their attempt to reach him.]

Dr. Eggman (voice): Muhahaha... you fools must all have a death wish? Witness this invincible battleship, built by the hands of a genius. Its power... unmatched throughout the universe!

[Team Dark is standing on a battleship warming up.]

Shadow: You'll regret this, doctor... Even if I'm not real... I'm still the ultimate life form... Shadow the Hedgehog!

Before Egg Emperor

[Team Dark confronts Dr. Eggman in his Egg Emperor at the core of the Egg Fleet.]

Omega: Now to face real evil, Dr. Eggman!

Dr. Eggman: It's not over yet, troublesome fools!

Shadow: I am the ultimate power!

Rouge: Have enough yet!

Omega: Eggman's robots must be eliminated!

Dr. Eggman I won't go down that easy! Defeated? Impossible! Nooooo!!!

Shadow: End of the line, Eggman!

Rouge: Thanks for the treasure, doc.

Omega: Large ultimate battle robot - DESTROYED!!!

After beating Egg Emperor

[The team are staring down at the defeated fake Dr. Eggman in his fortress.]

Omega: Eggman target completely destroyed.

[Rouge walks into a corridor lined with stasis capsules.]

Rouge: Now let's find that secret treasure! Ahhh! [Rouge is taken by the scale of the room and the vast number of capsules, each containing a robot clone of Shadow. Omega marches into the room.]

Omega: Prepare to destroy immediate area.

Rouge: Hey Omega... Did I ever tell you that Shadow is a robot, and... oh, never mind. Good luck.

Omega: You know about cloning... [Rouge pauses for thought. Omega proceeds down the corridor.] The original must exist somewhere. [Rouge leaves the room and rejoins Shadow outside.]

Rouge: All this for what... nothing! I might as well go look for that Master Emerald, since that irritating echidna is here.

Shadow: Hah, some things never change, do they?

Rouge: Whaddya saying! What else is a famous treasure hunter supposed to do?

Team Rose

Opening

[It is a sunny but windy day at the beach. Amy is lounging on a deckchair on the pier with Cream resting on a parasol, while "Follow Me" plays in the background. Amy is looking at an image of Sonic, Froggy and Chocola in a newspaper article.]

Amy: Ahh... I wonder where Sonic is? [The wind suddenly picks up and blows the paper away.] Oh no!

[Amy tries and fails to grab the paper. Cream flies up and also makes an attempt, but fails.]

Cream: Oh!

[Cheese swiftly soars forward and grasps the paper, much to Amy's relief.]

Cheese: Chao!

Amy: Wooo...

[Cream and Cheese drop down to the ground.]

Cream: Amy, please be more careful with our only clue.

Amy: You're right, I'm sorry.

[The wind blows even harder now, strong enough to lift Cream into the sky despite her attempt to cling on to the pier.]

Cream: Aah! Aah!

[Big casts his fishing line into the air and hooks Cream. He reels her in, bounces her on his umbrella, and catches her in his arm.]

Big: Hoh!

Amy: Nice catch, Big!

Big: Huhuhuhu... [Big and Cream gaze longingly at Froggy and Chocola in the picture in the article.] Froggy...

Cream: Chocola...

Amy: Hey you guys, cheer up! You know we'll find them! No time to waste just standing here. C'mon, let's get going!

Big: Froggy, too?

Amy: Let's get him before Sonic does. Then he'll be head over heels for me!

After beating Egg Albatross

[Amy is inspecting the defeated Eggman lying on the floor in Bullet Station. She is taken by surprise as an Eggman head springs out of its belly, revealing that it is merely a model set up as a decoy for the team. The model speaks in Eggman's voice. Amy shakes her fist and stomps angrily.]

Dr. Eggman (model): Muhahaha! Muhahaha!

Amy: Hey! It's just a stupid copy!

[Big is more focused on Froggy, as always, but is despondent.]

Big: Froggy... where are you? Let's go home...

[Meanwhile, Cheese is in melancholy about Chocola being missing.]

Cream: Cheese, what's wrong?

Cheese: Chocola-Chao!

Cream: Yes...

Amy: A Chao-napping!

Cream: But... why?

Amy: I'm not really sure, but betcha Dr. Eggman has something to do with it! And we're not gonna let him get away with it. C'mon, let's get outta here!

Espio: Now hand over that Chao, nice and easy...

[Cream, slightly unnerved, hugs Cheese protectively.]

Cream: I betcha you're the ones who took Chocola-Chao.

Team Chaotix

Opening

[It's a peaceful day at the Chaotix office. Vector is sitting at his desk listening to "Team Chaotix" on his headphones, bobbing his head to the music. Espio is resting quietly against a locker when he hears a buzzing noise.]

Espio: Hmm?

[Suddenly, Charmy barges into the office carrying a package.]

Charmy: It's here, yeah!

Vector: Whoaaa!! [Charmy crashes into Vector, knocking him off his chair, and the package is sent flying. Espio whips out a kunai and flings it. The kunai catches the package's string and leaves it hanging on the wall.] What's wrong with you?!

Charmy: It's here, it's here, we've got work!

Vector: WHAT? [The package opens and a walkie-talkie falls out. Vector frantically tries to grab it before it breaks.] Whoaaa!!

[Vector catches the walkie-talkie, and a mysterious client begins to speak from it. Team Chaotix's theme plays louder in the background.]

Client: I've heard good things about you and require your detective services. And I can pay handsomely!

[Dollar signs appear in Vector's and Charmy's eyes as they are elated by the thought of making a lot of money.]

Espio: I've got a bad feeling about this...

Vector: Espio, don't be silly. Besides, you know our policy! We never turn down work that pays!

Charmy: Yeah, you know our policy!

Vector: Come on, boys. Let's go!

Charmy: Yes, sir!

[Vector heads off, with Charmy following eagerly. Espio hesitates, and then goes off with them.]

Charmy: Let's go!

Before fighting Team Dark

[Team Dark are standing on a high platform in Grand Metropolis. Rouge spots the Chaotix on the other side.]

[Espio hears Rouge and becomes wary.]

Vector: What's up, Espio?

Espio: And you are...?

Rouge: Just whaddya think you're doing here?

Before Egg Albatross

[The Egg Albatross flies overhead in the canyon.]

Vector: Whadda we do now?

Client: Dr. Eggman's secret weapons must be aboard that ship. Destroy it, before it reaches the canyon!

Vector: Piece of a cake!

After beating Egg Albatross

[The defeated Dr. Eggman is lying on the floor in Bullet Station. It appears to be a model with an Eggman head on a spring sticking out of its belly, set up as a decoy for the team.]

Vector: Good job, boys! Guess that Eggman was a fake after all.

[The client overhears Vector and accidentally breaks character, nearly revealing his true identity.]

Client: Of course it was!

Vector: Huh?!

[Fearing that Team Chaotix might be suspicious, the client quickly changes the subject.]

Client: Listen carefully... there's a jungle just to the north of here. Go there immediately!

Vector: Got it!

[Team Chaotix begin to walk away.]

Charmy: You know what? Our client sure seems to know a lot about this Dr. Eggman guy.

[Vector looks back at the Eggman decoy.]

Vector: Strangely enough, I had the same weird feeling about our client's real identity. It could be you-know-who...

Before fighting Team Rose

[The Chaotix and Team Rose run into each other in Frog Forest.]

Vector: Excuse me, Miss. I was wondering if I could ask you something.

Espio: Now hand over that Chao, nice and easy...

[Cream, slightly unnerved, hugs Cheese protectively.]

Cream: I betcha you're the ones who took Chocola-Chao.

Client: No time for arguing! Now's the time to be on guard! It's very mysterious around here!

Before Robot Storm

[The Chaotix is confronting Dr. Eggman.]

Vector: There you are, you mustache moron! [into the walkie-talkie] He's the one, right?

Vector: This is gonna cost you extra!

Before Egg Fleet

[In the sky, the entire armada of the Egg Fleet is seen. Dr. Eggman taunts at the heroes at their attempt to reach him.]

Charmy: [spins around] Bring it on!

After beating Egg Emperor

[Team Chaotix stares down at the defeated Dr. Eggman decoy in his fortress. The decoy melts into a silver fluid.]

Vector: Guess he was a fake after all...

Espio: What do you mean, "after all"?

[Vector dents the door with his fists and rips it open.]

Vector: We're here to save you! Dr. Eggman, I presume.

[Eggman glares back at them. Espio and Charmy are astounded.]

Espio: What's going on?

Charmy: What's up?

Dr. Eggman: You knew it was me all along, didn't you?

Vector: It's all part of being a good detective.

Espio: Were we fooled that easily?

Charmy: You're ROTTEN!

Dr. Eggman: Hey, hold on, you guys! It's no trick, and besides, I plan on paying you. You'll be rewarded handsomely for helping me! As soon as I conquer the world, I will pay you!

[Team Chaotix pause in anger, knowing that Eggman won't hold up his end of the promise.]

Vector: Some nerve promising what you ain't got!

Espio: We've been had!

Dr. Eggman: J-j-just wait a minute, just listen to me!

[Charmy is irate and has had enough.]

Charmy: Take this, you BAD MAN!

[Charmy beats up Eggman and punches him all over. Eggman cries out in pain.]

Dr. Eggman: Waaaaaah!! Aaaarrrghh!!

Last Story

Introduction

[The story opens where Team Chaotix's storyline left off in Eggman's jail cell.]

Vector: Then who was it? Who locked you up here for trying to conquer the world?

Dr. Eggman: It was...

Before fighting Metal Madness

[A vast thunderstorm is raging in Eggman's fleet. Team Sonic, Team Dark and Team Rose converge on Neo Metal Sonic, who is standing at the top of a tower.]

Neo Metal Sonic: Hmmhmmhmmhmm... All living things kneel before your master!

[Neo Metal Sonic creates an electrifying plume of light from his palm which blows up the tower. Team Chaotix join the others just in time to witness him undergo a transformation, and the teams watch on in horror. In a vortex of bright light and smoke, Neo Metal Sonic attaches parts of the destroyed tower to himself and transforms into an immense metallic beast known as Metal Madness. Metal Madness lets out a deafening roar.]

Dr. Eggman: Metal Sonic has finally transformed!

[An enormous horde of panicked Egg Pawn make a hasty retreat to escape Metal Madness.]

Sonic: So that's Metal Sonic?!

Dr. Eggman: It's useless! Metal Sonic has combined your data with the power of Chaos and is super strong! We can't defeat it! Aargh... if only we had the seven Chaos Emeralds!

[They do indeed have the Emeralds! Cream pulls out the yellow Emerald and shows it to Eggman, and her comrades follow suit: Big has the purple one, Rouge has the white one, Omega has the green one, Sonic has the blue one, Espio has the red one, and Charmy has the cyan one. Eggman is stunned at the sight of them.]

Dr. Eggman: What's this? But how? Even with the Emeralds' power, our chances for victory are slim. It would take a miracle!

Sonic: Just leave that to me, Doc...

Amy: Sonic, no!

Tails: I'm going with you, too!

Sonic: Tails...

Knuckles: You can count me in, too.

Sonic: Knuckles...

Shadow: Okay guys, we'll buy you some time. That way you can use your super powers.

[Team Dark, Team Rose and the Chaotix non-verbally affirm that they'll fight in the upcoming battle. Tails and Knuckles stand by Sonic's side, and he turns in a circle to address all his comrades at once.]

Sonic: Okay then, let's get ready to do this. We'll show that creep the real super power of TEAM WORK!

After beating Metal Madness

[Having taken considerable damage, the furious Metal Madness flails about and roars. Suddenly, his fingers burst off and are replaced by long, slender blades which resemble wings, making him airborne. He has transformed into Metal Overlord! With a flap of his wings, the metallic brute shoots off into the skies. Team Sonic are ready for the next stage and nod in agreement - as they place their hands together, the Chaos Emeralds whirl rapidly around their heads and the Sonic Heroes theme plays. Sonic crosses his arms, closes his eyes and then, in a blinding flash of golden light, he transforms into Super Sonic! Tails is unable to bear the surging Chaos energy, but finds himself encased in a protective shield. He and Knuckles, both inside shields, levitate upwards and join Sonic's side. The team zoom forward to finish Metal Overlord once and for all.]

After beating Metal Overlord

[The defeated Neo Metal Sonic is crouched on the ground in hopelessness as Team Sonic rush over to him. His body glows white and he reverts back to ordinary Metal Sonic.]

Metal Overlord: It's no use... but why can't I defeat you?

Sonic: Heh. Because... we're Sonic Heroes!

[The other three teams arrive at the scene.]

Amy: Sonic!!

Sonic: Anytime you want a rematch, just let me know. I'll be waiting.

[Sonic zips away with Tails and Amy running after him.]

Tails: Hey Sonic, wait up!

[Metal Sonic passes out.]

Amy: Sorry to leave like this, but I can't let my Sonic get away!

Cream: Good luck, Amy!

Big: Bye-bye!

Cheese: Chao Chao!

[Big and Cream wave goodbye.]

Knuckles: [chuckles] Sonic sure has his hands full.

Rouge: I guess I'm outta here, too. I think I'll go hunt for someone else's treasure.

[Rouge struts away contentedly.]

Knuckles: She never gives up, does she? [Knuckles charges after Rouge as she quickens her pace.] Oh no, you don't! Wait!

Vector: Guess that's it for this case.

Espio: Guess so.

Charmy: But what about our money?

Vector: Man, I almost forgot!

[Eggman tries to slip away.]

Vector: THAT SLIMEBALL!

[Eggman flees the scene, with Team Chaotix hot on his heels. Omega is holding the now deactivated Metal Sonic in his arms - Shadow and Omega look at each other in confusion. The scene then changes to Team Sonic running through Seaside Hill.]

Sonic: Alright! Our next adventure awaits us, so there's no time to waste! Yeah! We're SONIC HEROES!

[Sonic and his pals jump and strike an ending pose.]
