Queen aleena:
when the sun is shining

And the day is beautiful,

Even the bravest of us

Need to get away
from our troubles.

But we must never forget

That doom hangs
above our heads.

Sonia: ahh,
this is the life...

Sun, surf...

And no ol' buttnik
to worry about.

We needed a little rest
and relaxation...huh?

Hey! You're getting me
all gritty!

[Sonic grunts]

[Yawning]

Hmm.

Ok, gotta go!

Do I really think
I can b*at myself?

Course I do!

Try catching this one!

[Manic grunting]

Whew!

Whoa, jackpot!

My day has just been made
in the shade!

Can ya dig it?

Two mobiums!

Aah!

[Sonic whistles] fancy.

Unh!

Hey, who's the wise guy?

Oh, yeah,
I'm the wise guy!

Okay, who turned out
the lights?!

Sonia: uh-oh...

Something tells me
we've got a buttnik

On the horizon.

Sonic: bail, sibs!

[Sonic coughs]

Looks like our vacation's
just been sandblasted!

Manic: well, at least
it's not a total loss!

Sonia: heads up!

They're getting ready
to fire again!

Robotnik: blast sonic

And his siblings back
to the pre-mobian age!

[Laughing maniacally]

Sleet: excellent sh**ting,
your rotundness!

Dingo and I should have
no trouble scooping up

Those hedgehogs for you!

Robotnik: oh, why bother?

My fortress of altitude
can take care of

A trio of troublesome
hedgehogs without your help!

Sonic:
we'd better grab the van
and vamoose outta here!

Sonic: this forest ought
to give us some protection.

There's no way they could
see us under these trees!

Sonia: that did it!

Nobody messes
with the forest!

Sonic: whoa!
The armor on that thing
must be solid mobybendum!

Manic: mobybendum?!
That weighs a ton!

How could buttnik
make it fly?!

Sonic: maybe it's time
we find out

Just what makes that
buttnik ugly thing tick!

Ready for launch!

Blast off!

Hey, get a load of this!

Robotnik: fire!

Sonic: if I could just find
the energy reactor

To this jalopy, then I could
stop buttnik in his tracks!

Hmm...now, if I were
a reactor, where would I be?

Hmm...

Hmm...musta taken
a wrong turn!

Sleet: what is that
blurry camera on deck - - ?

Hey!

Dingo: maybe it's busted.

Robotnik:
maybe you're defective!

My fortress is perfect!
It must be.

I designed it myself.

Sleet: that explains
the round shape.

[Dingo giggling]

Robotnik: what are you
laughing about?!

Sleet: nothing, sir!

It's blurry again!

Robotnik: you must be
seeing things!

But just to show you
what a nice guy I am,

We'll just do
a little housecleaning...

Just in case!

I designed my fortress

With an invincible
defense system.

Watch and learn.

[Sleet and dingo gasp]

[Dingo gasps]

Sonic: that doesn't
sound friendly!

Huh?

[Gasps]

It looks even worse!

Uh-oh! Dead end!

How about
a little sonic-super-spin?!

Aah!

Out of the frying pan
and into midair!

Manic: huh?

I'll getcha, bro!

Sonic: manic!
Goin' my way, bro?!

Manic: unh!

Hang twenty, bro!

You finished fast.

Did you disable
that tin can?

Sonic: uh, not exactly...

And we've got company!

[Sonic gasps]

Sonic: incoming!
Hang on, bro!

Whoa!

Manic: wipeout!

Sonic: manic!

Manic: hop on, bro!

Sonic: aah!

Sonia: we may need
to hide in that cave!

Come on!

Robotnik's getting ready
to fire again!

[All screaming]

Robotnik: cease fire!

There's nothing left
to destroy,

Least of all sonic
and his meddlesome siblings!

Sonia: this is horrible!

That buttnik's
destroyed everything.

Manic:
yeah, all we got now

Is a lifetime supply
of toothpicks!

Sonic: the resistance
won't stand a chance

Unless we knock buttnik's
flying fortress
outta the sky!

Sonia: ok, but how?

You were up there
and you couldn't stop him.

Sonic:
I know, but we gotta crash
that flying fortress

Before mobius is trashed!

Manic: yeah, but man,

We don't even know
what makes that thing fly!

Sonic:
I was run outta there

By a big wave
of green energy.

Oh, yeah, emerald green!

Maybe buttnik's
gotten his hands

On a chaos emerald!

Sonia: can't be!

If he did,
then that would mean...

Manic:
the floating island would've
fallen from the sky!

Sonic:
and if buttnik had destroyed
the floating island,

We'd have heard about it.

Could there be
another chaos emerald?

Sonia: he'd be able
to tap almost unlimited power!

We'll need help getting
to that fortress' engine room.

Manic: and there's only
one person I know

Who can handle
a chaos emerald.

Sonic: time for
a little post-vacation trip!

Knuckles: floating island
to unknown aircraft...

Identify yourself.

Hmm...looks like
a robotnik-built
flying swat-bot!

Sonic: oh, I can't believe
I let you talk me

Into flying
in this patched-up bot!

Manic: chill, bro!

It'll get us to
the floating island no prob!

Knuckles: arm all
anti-aircraft systems.

Fire at will!

Manic: whoops.
Problemo, sibs!

They've locked onto us!

Wish this bot had a radio!

Sonic: just fly friendly!

They won't sh**t us down
if we're not hostile!

[All gasping]

Sonia: I don't think
they know that!

[All screaming]

Sonic: I've got an idea!

Manic: oh, like
your last one
was just so good!

Knuckles: cease fire!
They're friendlies!

Sonic: whew!

[All gasping]

Sonic: it's good to have
solid ground under my feet..

Almost!

Knuckles:
sonic, manic, sonia!

What are you doing here?

You coulda
been blasted to bits!

Sonic: yeah.

Thanks for almost
blowing us outta the sky!

Manic: the round dude's
built himself

One seriously bad
flying fortress!

Sonia: and we think
it may be powered
by a chaos emerald!

Knuckles: a chaos emerald?!

Sonic: yeah,
is it possible

That more than one
chaos emerald exists?

Knuckles: they're rare,

But if buttnik's
got his hands on one,

He could be unstoppable!

Sonic: that's why
we need your help,
big guy!

Knuckles: I'd like to help,
but my first duty

Is to protect
the floating island!

I can't go chasing
all over mobius!

I gotta take care
of my own people!

Sonia: hey, wait a minute!

You're a part of mobius!

If it goes, so does
your precious island!

Manic: true.
And you're the only dude

Who knows the skinny
on chaos emeralds!

Knuckles: I'm sorry, but
there's nothing I can do.

Knuckles: all right!
Enough! I'll do it!

I'll help you.

Sonic: I knew
you couldn't resist

A good buttnick kicking!

Knuckles: flaps, check.

Rudder, check.
Tires, check.

Oil, check...

Athair: knuckles...

Knuckles: in a minute.

Extra little bags of
in-flight peanuts, check.

Athair: knuckles,
listen to me...

Knuckles:
all right, already!

I'm all ears.

Great-grandpa athair?!

Is...is that you?!

Athair: you must not leave
the floating island.

Knuckles: why?

But I've promised
my friends!

Buttnik
has to be stopped!

Athair: great-grandson,

You have been warned.

If you leave
the floating island,

All of mobius
could be destroyed.

The fate of mobius
is in your hands.

Knuckles: great-grandfather,

What can I do to protect
both mobius and my friends?

Athair: there may be a way.

The future can be changed.

The fate of mobius...

Depends on your decision.

Knuckles:
great-grandfather?!

Wait! Don't leave!

Manic: yo, who ya
talking to, knuckles?

Knuckles: uh, oh, no one.

Hope I'm doing
the right thing!

Sonic:
then let's haul haunch!

Robotnik: prepare
to obliterate port mobius!

They'll see
what happens

When they turn
against robotnik!

Stand by for bombardment
on my command!

Dingo: ya know,
those port mobians

Only sided with you
because of us!

Sleet: yeah, we rigged up
that fake sea monster!

Robotnik: you two have had
so many failures,

It's hard
to keep them all straight!

Interrupt my work again,

And I'll have you tossed
off the fortress

While we're still
in the air!

Ah, now where was i?

Sleet: robotnik thinks
he doesn't need us anymore.

And you know what happens
to people he doesn't need!

Dingo: uh, no. What?

Sleet: he roboticizes them!

Where have you been?!

It's time for us to act!

Dingo: ok, but I won't
wear a girly costume.

Sleet: come on,
you flea paradise!

Robotnik: what is it now?

An unidentified aircraft?!

How dare it approach
my fortress!

Knuckles:
request emergency landing.

Request emergency landing.

Request emergency landing.

Robotnik: certainly.

We'll give you
a warm welcome.

A very warm welcome, indeed!

Blow him outta the sky!

Welcome to my fortress
of altitude!

[Laughing maniacally]

Knuckles: ready to dig in?

Sonic: we're behind ya
all the way!

Knuckles:
now all we have to do

Is find the chaos emerald!

Manic: what's that thing do?

Knuckles:
this is a chaometer.

It tracks the energy
from a chaos emerald.

And there's one on board,
all right. Follow me.

Robotnik: that's impossible!

How did they get aboard
my fortress?!

Knuckles: whoa! This
chaometer's going crazy!

Something's coming!

Sonic: uh-oh!

Could be that green stuff
that chased me before!

We gotta get outta here!

Knuckles: stand back!

Sonic: whoa!

Knuckles: there's
a chaos emerald under us

Through about a mobius-mile
of mobybendum!

Sonic: so what're
we waiting for?!

Do your stuff, knuckles!

Sleet: I never knew
blowing up swat-bots
could be so much fun!

With the chaos emerald
in our hands,

Robotnik won't dare try
to get rid of us!

Dingo: good thinking, sleet!

Sleet: if nothing else...

He won't have his precious
fortress anymore,

And he'll need
our help again!

Knuckles: this is bad.

Residual energy's high,

But it looks like
somebody's already
swiped the emerald!

Sonia: whoa...oh!

Knuckles:
without the chaos emerald,
this fortress is sunk!

We'll drop like a rock
into the mobian sea!

Sonic: into the...

[Gulps] sea?!

Robotnik:
those hedgehogs must've
stolen my chaos emerald!

Swat-bots!
Rig for a crash landing!

Oh, those rats!

Deserting the sinking ship!

Someone is going
to pay for this!

[All screaming]

[All screaming]

Manic:
man, that was some ride!

At least buttnik's
overgrown beach ball
was trashed and crashed!

Sonia: but we didn't take
the chaos emerald!

Sonic: yeah! So who did?

Sleet: now we've got
the power instead of robotnik!

Dingo: yeah!

Just wait'll
we're in charge!

[Sleet and dingo giggling]
