Queen aleena:
too often we chase

After what looks new
and promising.

We have to remember
that sometimes

The old ways are best.

[Stomach rumbling]

Sonic: whoa!

My tummy's rumbling like one
of manic's drum solos.

Yo, sibs,
I got the need to feed!

Manic: yo, give us a hand
with all this stuff first.

Sonic: not to worry, bro.

This'll only take uno momento.

Sonia: sonic!

[Panting]

Sonic: chili dogs
to go, please.

Fully loaded.

Can't travel
on an empty stomach, you know.

Ha ha ha.

Queen aleena: hmm.

[Panting]

Sonic: oh, yeah!

We're talking a serious sack
of chili dogs here.

Queen aleena: ha ha ha.

Sonia: what took you so long?

Sonic: you can't create a thing
of beauty in a hurry.

Note the aroma,

The succulent blending
of chili and hot dog.

Sonia: ugh! Yuck!

How can you eat those things?

Sonic: fast,
like I do everything.

Aah!

Sonia: oh, please!

Gross me out!

Sonic: chill, sis.
There's only one more,

And then we're out of here.

Sonia: ahem.

Sonic: that's either
the weirdest chili dog
I've ever seen,

Or there's something funny
going on here.

Jump back, jack! A coconut!

Sonia: ew.

Manic: hey, look.
Fan mail from some nut case.

Q.a.?

Queen aleena!

It's a message from ma!

She wants us
on speedster island.

Sonia: but how?

That's in the middle
of the south mobian sea.

Sonic: sea? Hmm.

Manic: take it easy, bro.

I can put the van on pontoons.

You won't even
get your fast feet wet.

Sonic: uh, there's
got to be some other--

Whoa!

Uhh!

Huh?

[Both gasp]

Sonic: swat-butts!

Sis! Bro! Time to go!

How about a little road music?

Manic: get 'em, bro!

Uh-oh.

Everybody hang on!

Sonic: maybe a cruise
isn't so bad.

Things are getting too hot
around here.

Mantu: when can I try, father?

You promised to teach me
how to use the net.

Headman: soon
you won't have to fish.

We'll have jobs,

Money to buy things,

A new way of life.

Mantu: but I don't
want a new way of life.

We've always been happy here.

Headman: no fish again.

The old ways don't provide
for us anymore.

We must change
if we are to survive.

The mainlanders have returned.

I must go meet them.

Bartleby: this island
will make a wonderful resort

For the aristocracy
of robotropolis.

[Inhales]

Mmm. Just smell
that tropical air.

And so quaint and rustic.

Of course, the village
will have to be relocated.

We can't let a few huts

Take up prime real estate.

Headman: move the village?

Sleet: let me present
club robo,

The latest
in high-tech beach resorts.

Bartleby: and we'll even use
the stone heads

Down by the beach

For decoration in the lobby.

Headman: once our island
was a sanctuary.

It provided for all our needs.

But now there are no fish
in the lagoons,

And we cannot even
feed ourselves.

We...we will have to
sell the island.

Mantu: no, father!

You can't sell the island!

Headman: we must, mantu.

We have no choice.

Mantu: but it's our home!

Headman: mantu!

Sleet: moving is always tough
on the children.

[Panting]

Mantu: uhh!

Ohh, ohh.

Why has my father sold out?

Why can't it be like
when I was little?

He was happy then.

You guardians protected us
in the old days.

But now father doesn't believe
you can help.

Come, guardians.

Your people need you!

[Sighs]

Maybe you are just a legend.

If you won't protect us,
who will?

Manic: dry land dead ahead!

Sonic: and not
a sonic second too soon.

Manic: uh-oh.

Buttnik patrol!

Sonic: whoa!

Uhh! Uhh!

Wipe out!

Aah!

Both: whoa!

Sonic: oh!

Manic: sonic!

Sonia: where's sonic?
Where is he?

Manic: whoa, bro!

I thought
we were gonna have to look

For a new guitar player.

Sonic: ugh! Stop yapping
and pull me to the shore.

[Manic panting]

Sonic: uhh!

Good old land.

Mantu: they've come!

The guardians!

Sonic: who are you?

Mantu: the guardian speaks!

Sonic: hey! Wait!

Sonia: who was that?

Sonic: beats me.

But maybe he knows where
we can get some help.

Sonic: come on, he's got
to be around here somewhere.

Sonic: uh-oh. There he goes!

Sonia: come back!
We won't hurt you!

Sonic: maybe he won't be afraid
if we play some music.

Manic: yee-haw!

[All gasp]

Manic: whoa!

Mantu: you are the guardians!

I asked you to help us,
and you came!

Sonic: wait a mobius minute.

Guardians?

Hey, the face is familiar,

But we're a lot better looking.

Sonia: maybe this is why mother
sent us that message.

Who are you?

Why do you need our help?

Mantu: I'm called mantu.

The strangers
are buying the island

To build their resort,

And you've been sent to save us!

Manic: what strangers, man--
er, mantu?

Mantu: the
who come from robotnik--

The big one
and the one I don't trust.

Sonic: dingo and sleet!

Mantu: and the pompous one
with all the money.

Manic: ha ha. Sound
like anybody you know, sis?

Sonia: bartleby!

Mantu: he wants
to tear down our village

And build his resort.

Headman: mantu!

Mantu: my father! Quick! Hide!

Headman: I knew
you'd be here, son.

I'm sorry, mantu.

I always thought
you'd be headman after me

And would serve the stone heads.

But things change.

You'll see,
life will be better for us.

We'll have jobs,

All the good things
robotnik promised us.

Mantu: I hope
you're right, father.

Sonic: they're gone.

Sonia: bartleby's mine!

I'll make him see
how he's hurting these people.

Sonic: you're not going
without me.

Manic: I'm sticking
around here.

There's something familiar

About these carvings.

Sonic: yeah, like you can read
ancient speedonian.

Let's go, sis.

Sleet: the villagers
are ready to sell.

Robotnik: good!

Sleet: and I must say, sir,
scaring away their fish

Was a nice touch.

They're starving.

Robotnik:
I like to think of myself

As an artist in my own way.

Watch bartleby.

If he finds out I plan

To roboticize the villagers

As soon as the deal is signed,

He could cause trouble.

Sleet: don't worry.

I've got dingo on it right now.

Sonic: I'll say
one thing about bartleby.

He sure knows
how to travel in style.

[Footsteps]

Sonia: someone's coming!

Sonic: in here!

Bartleby: I can't wait
to get the resort built.

I'm so sick of roughing it.

[Yawns]

I hope I can sleep
in these primitive conditions.

Sonic: hey!

Huh?

Sonia: aah!

Bartleby: wha--

Stop that,
you stupid machine! Ohh!

Sonic: hi, big boy.

Sonia: bartleby!

Bartleby: sonia!

What are you doing here?

Sonia: you can't build
the resort, bartleby.

Bartleby:
I'm bringing these peasants

Into the lap of luxury.

Sonic: yeah,
luxury buttnik style.

Oww!

Whoa!

Both: huh?

Dingo: got him, sleet!
I got him!

Sleet: get the hedgehogs!

They have interfered
for the last time!

Sonic: uhh! Uhh! Uhh...

Sonic: uhh! Uhh!

Let me go,
you overgrown lounge lizard!

All right,

It's juice and jam time.

[Dingo growls]

Sleet: get them!

[Dingo snarls]

[All gasp]

Dingo: aah!

Uhh! Whoa!

[Crash]

[Mechanical arms operating]

[Bartleby gasps]

Sonia: aah!

Sonic: sonia, let's go!

Sleet: I don't care
if we have to

Destroy the whole village!

I want those hedgehogs!

This is no time
for dress up, dingo!

After them!

Manic: oh, man!

These carvings
aren't words at all.

Huh?

Hey, what's shaking?

You look like you got an army
of swat-bots on your tail.

Sonic: that's because we've got
an army of swat-bots on our--

Mantu: take me with you.

Whoa! Uhh!

I can't stay here,

Not after my father
betrayed us all.

Sonic: whatever your dad's done,

He's done it
because he cares about you.

Mantu: you believe that?

All: mmm-hmm.

Mantu: maybe I should try, too.

[Gasps]

Sonic: the village!

Mantu: father!

Manic: hey, wait!

I meant to tell you, you know.
Those carvings...

[Villagers screaming]

Headman: quick! Into the jungle!

Sleet: now this is what
I call urban renewal.

Dingo: heh heh heh.

Bartleby: sleet,
what's going on?

We haven't actually
bought the island yet.

Sleet: details.

Besides, robotnik wants those
people roboticized, anyway.

A good resort
needs waiters and bellhops

Who will do what they're told.

Dingo: and robotnik doesn't tip.

Bartleby: you can't do that!

Sleet: watch me.

Round up all the villagers.

I want them roboticized.

[Villagers screaming]

Headman: how could they do this!

It wasn't part of the bargain.

Aah!

[Sonic gasps]

Sonic: get the villagers away!

We'll see if we can hold up
buttnik's bots.

[Villagers screaming]

Sonic: now! Uhh!

Both: uhh!

Sonic: those bots are trash.

Whoa!

Manic: aah! Yeah,
but there's a lot more

Where those came from!

Uhh!

What's up with this?

Sonia: uhh!

[Sonic gasps]
dingo!

Sleet: creepy, isn't it?

Sonic: manic, sonia,
our medallions!

[Both grunt]

Mantu: let them go!

[Hooting]

Put me down, you--

Sleet: you little troublemaker!

It will be a pleasure
to roboticize you.

[Headman hollering]

Mantu: father!

Sleet: aah! No!

Dingo: whoa!

Manic: sonic, sonia!

The carvings--
they're musical notes.

All we have to do is play.

[Drumming]

Headman: huh?

Mantu: the guardians!

They're real!

Both: aah!

Bartleby: aah!

Both: aah!

[All screaming]

Sleet: aah!

Dingo: help!

Bartleby: momsa!

[Bartleby gasping]

You idiots!

You've cost us the resort,

And now we're stuck
without even a paddle.

Dingo: huh?

[Gurgling]

Sonic: they won't be back.

If they do,
just play those notes,

And the guardians
will start stomping bot.

Headman: thank you for finding
the guardians' secret.

Mantu, I was wrong
to try to sell the island.

Mantu: you were only doing
what you thought was best.

[Villagers cheer]

Sonic: you did good, bro.

But now,
how do we get out of here?

The van is shark bait.

Manic: not a problem, bro.

I think I've got it covered.

[Villagers cheer]

Manic: you got to hand it
to those guardians.

Those are some stone cool dudes.

[Rumbling]
