02x07 - I Can Sea Sonic's Fear from Here

[bunniefuu]

Grr!

(Explosions)

- That all you got?
- Ha!

You were so distracted
with phase one of my plan

that phase two was ex*cuted
right under your noses!

Behold! Made ya look!

(Sighs)

- So, how was your defeat?
- Uh... He means to say,

how was
your evenly matched battle?

Oh, you know,
pretty evenly matched.

On a point system,
I probably would have won.

(Sighs)

A theoretical victory
is the second-best kind!

Why not celebrate with a nice,
hot cup of tea?

I've thrown everything I can
at that blue gopher.

There's gotta be something
I haven't tried yet!

That's it! What is it
that Sonic's most afraid of?

That someone will discover
he sneaks down

to the lair basement to put on
costumes and sing show tunes?

Good guess, but no.
He's afraid of water!

I can't defeat Sonic because
we face each other on land.

Yeah. That's the reason.

Time for a musical montage!

- ♪ Oh, my...
- No show tunes!

(Sighs)

(Rock music)

As soon as my lucky shorts
are clean,

we'll put my plan into effect.

I'll confront Sonic underwater!

All right,
let's start with the basics.

- This is a pawn.
- Don't kid yourself.

We're all pawns
on the big chessboard of life.

(expl*si*n)

I'm starting to like this game!

Holy mackerel!
It's raining minnow!

Hallelujah.

Well, that was random.

(expl*si*n)

This must be
what birds feel like!

Look at me, I'm a penguin!

We're closing in on the source.

Ugh! Aaah! Ugh!

(Loud noise)

Uh... Test. One, two. One, two.

Looks like you found me, Sonic.

And just as I was about
to create a giant wave

to flood the entire Village,
destroying everything.

Guess you'll have to come down
here and stop me.

- (Knuckles) What did he say?
- Let's get him!

Now, Amy, we don't wanna get
ahead of ourselves.

- He might be bluffing.
- Who's making stuffing?

I'm detecting
some unusual seismic activity.

It'll lead
to a devastating tidal wave

- in less than eight hours!
- We gotta do something!

Whoa! Whoa! Where's the fire?
We got eight hours.

Why don't we hit up Meh Burger
for some munchies?

Don't wanna fight
on an empty stomach, am I right?

- Am I right?
- OK.

Wait! Where are you going?
Evil plan over here!

Needs some thwarting!

Ugh! Ugh!

Outta the way, penguin!

They'll be back.

A hero can't allow his Village
to be devastated.

I think it's in their manual
or something.

I'll just have to wait it out.

Grr!
I should have brought a Sudoku.

So, what do you guys
wanna do after this?

Catch the new
Tommy Thunder flick?

Play some volleyball?

Master every instrument
in the orchestra?

I was thinking
maybe we'd stop Eggman.

Safety first, Tails.
What is it they say?

You can't swim
for three hours after a meal?

- Sonic, you're stalling.
- Stalling? I'm not stalling.

Why would I? I hate stalling.

Here's a list of things
I like better than stalling.

Root beer, bean burritos,
first day of spring,

- second day of spring, third...
- Ahem!

Fine.
I admit it, I still can't swim!

I never took those lessons
at the community pool.

Sonic, you promised!

They wanted to put me in the
beginner's class with the kids.

I can't be swimming around
with -year-olds!

They're cruel
when they sense weakness.

That's why, on the first day,
you have to b*at up

- the biggest one in the yard.
- Knuckles, that's prison.

- Only if you let it be.
- I suspected Eggman

might try
something like this one day.

- That's why I created these.
- Good thinking, Tails.

We'll stuff 'em with leaves,
dump 'em in the ocean,

and start a new life
two towns over.

No, they're high-tech wetsuits
for battling Eggman underwater.

Fine. We'll go with plan B.

All right, here I go.

Maybe you need a little boost.

- No, no, no, no, no.
- This is more serious

than we thought. We need
to call in a professional.

So, tell me everything.

Don't let the fact
I'm an award-winning journalist

stop you from sharing your
innermost secrets and fears.

- Award-winning?
- Just because they give them

to everyone who participates
doesn't mean they're not awards!

Now, the thing to remember here
is water is not scary.

Just regular, harmless H .

Aaah! Put it out! Put it out!

(Blows)

(Sigh with relief)

Bad example.

If you follow the steps
of my patented system,

I guarantee you'll be
in the water in no time.

Step one...

- You'll probably be fine!
- No! I can't swim!

Those five-year-olds were right!
Cruel, but right!

Oh, yeah, this thing floats.
All right.

I'll just stay here until
someone comes to rescue me.

Or maybe I can face my fears.

We're here, Sonic.
How you handling things?

This isn't so bad.
It's actually kind of OK.

I totally got this! Huh? Aaah!

Just testing out
the elasticity of the suit.

Keep swimming North. Eggman's
pod should be straight ahead.

And if you come across any
Sea-People, you don't know me!

Capisce?

(Snoring)

Look who conquered his fear

and is here to thwart
your evil plan.

Good for you.
I'm glad you're not concerned

about the millions of tons
of water around you.

- (Gulps)
- Yep. No oxygen down here.

Not even a bubble. Nothing
but water in every direction.

- Oh, and also Crab Bots.
- What?

Time to kick some crab butt.

Hold on, it's coming.
Just a sec.

Hey, come back! You're supposed
to be crushified!

Sonic, a little help here!

I'm like a fish out of water
in water.

Ow! Quit it! Pinches!

OK, this isn't so hard.

- Oh, come on!
- Hang tight, Sonic.

No, no, no, no!

Tails! Red alert!
Sonic's air hose has been cut!

I didn't bring a spare,
but maybe we can use the hose

from the plane's cooling system.

- I'll bring it to Sonic.
- You don't have a wetsuit.

I don't need a wetsuit.

(Gasping)

(Deep breath)

Did I mention
how much I hate water?

Aw!
You having a rough time, Sonic?

Wanna take a break?

Well, too bad,
'cause here they come,

the newest minions
on Team Eggman,

Shark Bots!

Hey, chum bucket! This way!

Yeah! Ha, ha! Giddy up!

- Tails, where am I taking 'em?
- There's a weak spot

at the bottom right-hand side
of Eggman's wave machine.

Aaah!

Great hit, Sonic!

Now the machine's facing away
from the Village.

It's gonna blow!
We gotta get outta here!

I have a feeling
something bad is gonna happen.

- (expl*si*n)
- Aaah!

Jeez, hope I remembered to
renew my flood-insurance policy.

Well, Sonic, aren't you glad
you overcame your fears?

Overcame? Are you crazy?

They've all been
magnified tenfold!

That was
the scariest thing ever!

I never want to see water again.

- Step two!
- Grr!

Is this a bad time
to ask for my cheque?
