Sonic Riders: Zero Gravity/Script (Babylon)

This is the script of the Babylon storyline in Sonic Riders: Zero Gravity.

Gigan Device
[''Gigan Rocks. The Babylon Rogues are standing in front of a stone keyboard which has a chalice with an Ark of the Cosmos in it. Jet presses some keys while Wave and Storm are standing behind him. Wave and Storm are a bit scared. Jet thinks for a moment.'']
 * Jet: That takes care of that trap.
 * Wave: [Nods]
 * Storm: [Hits his fists together] Yup!

[''Wave and Storm are waiting for Jet to take the Ark of the Cosmos. Jet takes it steadily out of the chalice.'']
 * Jet: [Holds the Arks of the Cosmos up] I got it!
 * Wave: [Sees a shooting star in the sky] Look, a shooting star. [Closes her eyes and puts her hands together]
 * Storm: Hey, whatcha doing there, Wave?
 * Wave: Making a wish. They say if you make a wish before it disappears, it’ll come true.
 * Storm: Ahh ha ha, how old are you? Grow up! Right, boss? [Sees Jet is wishing too] Uh oh...
 * Jet: [Thinks to himself] ...All right, star, give me the power to beat him.

[''Three meteorites pass by one by one. Suddenly, the horizon glows red from a meteor impact and the ground shakes. Storm looks at the sky. He is scared and starts wishing when an earthquake occurs.'']
 * Storm and Wave: Whoa!

[The stone keyboard and chalice retracts into the ground.]
 * Jet: No, The trap! [Two huge boulders start falling down, when suddenly, the Ark of the Cosmos in Jet's hands starts glowing. The stones are suspended in the air and the Babylon Rogues start floating] What?! [Wave and Storm floats up behind him] Looks like my wish came true already. Haa ha ha ha!

[The Babylon Rogues Gravity Dives away from the ruins.]

Nightside Rush
[''Babylon Rogues' ship. Wave is working on the computers while Jet looks at his Ark of the Cosmos.'']
 * Wave: I’ve figured it out, Jet.

[''She looks to Jet. He is sitting on his chair listening to Wave and playing with an Ark of the Cosmos.'' ]
 * Jet: Yeah? Qhatcha got?
 * Wave: As I’d suspected, the Ark of the Cosmos is an engine unit for the Babylon Garden, invented by our ancestors.
 * Jet: An engine part...?
 * Wave: Not just any part. I’ll need to analyze it further, but I think this stone’s magnetic field is able to transmute a planet's mass energy, and create a singularity to...

[Jet gets bored and angry.]
 * Jet: Yaaawn, can the boring speech! What can this thing do for me?
 * Wave: To put it simply, the stone can temporarily charge up gravity, then covert it to power Babylon Garden's wrap drive.
 * Jet: Sounds promising... So, that power was gravity ,huh?
 * Wave: One more thing. The Babylonian scrolls say there are five Arks of the Cosmos.[Wave's computer shows the Arks of the Cosmos] One serves as the master unit, while the other four attract each other and serve under it.
 * Jet: Okay... So if they attract each other, you should be able to make some kind of Ark-finding radar. Get on it.
 * Wave: Understood.

[Storm rushes into Jet's office.]
 * Storm: B-Boss!
 * Jet: Keep it down! And what do you want?

[''Storm shows them a holographic piece of news. A robot is going to a place.'']
 * Storm: T-take a look at this!

[The robot takes an Ark of the Cosmos from an exhibit, which is shortly after shown.]
 * News Reporter: Once again, that was the scene from Megalo City Museum this morning, when a MeteorTech security robot stole a meteorite on display. The robot is at large, and is suspected to still be in the city area!
 * Jet: That’s an Ark of the Cosmos! Storm, set a course for Megalo Station at full throttle!
 * Storm: Roger that, boss!
 * Jet: Heh, these things really do attract one another...

Part one
[''Botanical Cave. Jet is chasing three SCR-GPs which start flying.'']
 * Jet: Heh, too slow! [Dives into the sky, towards the robots, and knocks one of them into a giant green house] Rrgh, lost it"

[''The robot is on the green house’s ground. An Ark of cosmos falls from it hand as it shuts down. Jet dives towards the green house. Jet is then shown diving in the green house from afar while Storm and Wave are entering the gren house through the main entrance.'']
 * Wave: Jet!

Part two
[''Botanical Cave. Jet is looking for the SCR-GP and the Ark of the Cosmos. Suddenly, he hears Amy.'']
 * Amy: Faded lovers are always drawn together, silly.

[''Jet looks around in surprise. He sees Team Sonic and Amy, and he ducks.'']
 * Sonic: Amy…
 * Amy: OK, you got me. I was running away from those robots. I was so scared. [Jumps to sonic]
 * Sonic: H-hey…

[''Amy drops an Ark of the cosmos falls on the ground. Jet is confused.'']
 * Tails : What’s that?!
 * Amy: The cause of all my troubles! I picked it up, and those stupid robots came after me!

[Jet listens to them angrily.]
 * Tails: So that’s it! Those things must be after this stone!
 * Sonic: I guess that settles it, then. The key to solving this mystery is Meteor Tech!

[''Jet is furious until Wave touches his shoulder. Jet looks to see Wave and Storm.'']
 * Jet: You two!
 * Wave: I heard them, too. Let’s circle on ahead of them and gather information.
 * Jet: [Stands up] Tch, just wait Sonic the Hedgehog. You won’t be calling yourself the world’s fastest for long!

MeteorTech Sparkworks
[''MeteorTech Premises. A surveillance system detects the Babylon rogues. An alarm sound is heard. The Babylon Rogues realize what is happening. SCR-GPs are heading to them. Jet uses Gravity Control on his whole team and the Babylon Rogues knock the robots away. One robots lands in front of Sonic and his friends. Jet faces Sonic and his company.'']
 * Jet: It’s been a while, Sonic the hedgehog.
 * Sonic: Jet!

[Storm and Wave land behind Jet.]
 * Storm: We’re here to settle the score form last time!
 * Knuckles: Any time, Babylon Rouges!
 * Jet: Cut it out, Storm! All right, girly, hand over the Ark of the Cosmos!
 * Amy: What are you talking about?
 * Jet: Don’t play dumb! Not after swiping the Ark of the Cosmos right out of our hands!
 * Sonic: Hey, hold up a minute. Girls hate guys who rush them, Jet.
 * Jet: Rush? Heh, I’m the fastest thing in the universe! And today, I’m going to prove it!

[''Security alarm starts. SCR-GPs are coming towards the group.'']
 * Tails: Sonic, we can’t stay here!
 * Sonic: Looks like we’ll have to do the reunion later. See ya, Jet!
 * Jet: H-hey! Wait!

[''Sonic, Jet and the others start going in a path. Amy tries to join them, but Storm blocks her way.'']
 * Storm: Oops, can’t let you past until you hand over that stone, little lady.
 * Amy: Hey, out of the way, buddy! I’ll lose sight of Sonic!

[''Amy pulls out her hammer and hits Storm. Amy starts running away and Storm staggers behind her.'']
 * Storm: W-waaait!

Tempest Waterway
[''Aquatic Capital. Amy is running from Storm.'']
 * Storm: [Exhausted] Wheeze... Hold up!
 * Amy: [Exhausted] Ugh, do you ever give up?! [Stops up] Fine, if you want it that bad, I’ll give it to you!

[''Amy throws the Ark of the Cosmos into Storm's face. He falls on the ground unconscious.'']
 * Amy: [Looks around] Where the heck am I?

[Storm wakes up and finds Amy looking angrily at him.]
 * Amy: Thanks to you, I got separated from Sonic, you big jerk!
 * Storm: Uh... Um...
 * Amy: [Pulls Storm back on his feet] So you’re going to find the way out. Am I clear?
 * Storm: C-crystal clear, ma’am, sir!

[''Storm goes ahead and Amy follows him down a path. The scene shifts to Amy and Storm further down the road, where noise of a robot is heard.'']
 * Amy: What’s that noise?

[''SCR-HD comes towards them. It stops in front of Amy and Storm as it scans them. When it discovers Storm's Ark of the Cosmos, it suddenly explodes and falls to the ground. Amy and Storm walks up to SCR-HD. Storm sees an Ark of the cosmos in robot's back.'']
 * Storm: It’s the same! This is just like the stone we found at the Gigan Rocks! [Takes the Ark of the Cosmos out]
 * Amy: The Giga-what?
 * Storm: And now this makes two of them! I gotta get back and tell Jet! [Runs away]
 * Amy: H-Hey! Wait!

['' Storm ignores Amy and continues running. Amy is angry at him.'']

Part One
[''Babylonians’ airship is flying high in the sky. Inside the airship is shown. Wave is working  with her computer and Jet is sitting and waiting. Suddenly he gets angry and hits the table''.]
 * Jet: He’s late. What’s taking Storm so long, anyway?!

[Storm gets in.] 
 * Storm: Sorry, Boss!
 * Jet: You’re late!
 * Storm: But I brought back something good.

[''He puts two Arks of Cosmos on Jet’s table. He takes them''.]
 * Jet: Not bad, Storm, not bad.
 * Storm: Hehe…
 * Wave: Jet.
 * Jet: What is it?
 * Wave: I found a passage in that ancient text that has me wondering… I’ll try to paraphrase it simply enough for you to follow.
 * Jet: Mm?[ He sits.] Let’s hear it.
 * Wave: …We’ve reached our decision. We must sever the engine unit from this vessel.[Computer shows the Babylon Garden. It sinks in darkness.] For if we delay, the contraction of the engine core will lead the lightless black to consume everything.

[''Eggman is seen behind Jet’s room door, looking in his room. He sees the Arks of the Cosmos.'']
 * Jet: Lightless black ? What the heck does that mean?
 * Wave: Who can say? What are your thoughts?
 * Jet:  How should I know? Any way, we can leave thinking for later! [He starts touching his table in order to find the Arks of the Cosmos.] For now we need to find these Arks of the… Huh? [He turns to his table and realizes that the Arks of the Comos have disappeared. They see Eggman’s vehicle pass by their window. Jet turns to window.] Ah.. Uh…Ah.

[Eggman’s mobile is shown going far from Jet’s airship.]
 * Dr. Eggman: Ahh ha ha ha ha!

[Jet is looking outside of his rooms window.]
 * Jet: Why that dirty …! Sneak onto my ship, will he?! Full speed ahead! Follow him!

[They start following him on their airship.]

Part Two
[Sonic and his friends are riding in a desert towards Crimson Tower.]
 * Sonic: Hm?

[Babylon rouges are standing  on the crater’s edge.]
 * Jet: Heh, it took you long enough.
 * Sonic: Where’s Eggman?

[Jet points  to a tower placed in the middle of the crater.]
 *  Wave: They call it the Crimson tower . It’s the Meteor Tech’s signal tower. Commands sent out here relay through facilities across the world to control the robots. In other words, you’re looking at Meteor Tech’s brain.
 * Storm: That fink Eggman nabbed the Arks of the Cosmos we’d got  and ran in there…
 * Sonic: What is he after this time?
 * Tails:  He’s probably planning to use the stones’ power to issue an order to world’s robots from this tower. Sooner or later he was planning  to set the robot rampage.
 * Amy: Perhaps it was his reason to form the Meteor Tech in first place.
 * Sonic: Another Eggman’s land project again, huh? He never gives up, does he? [Sonic gets  on his board.] Well… Looks like we gotta storm this place.

[He starts riding toward the crater but suddenly Jet prevents him.]
 * Jet: Hold it.
 * Sonic: Huh?
 * Jet: You think I was sitting around here twiddling my thumb, Sonic the Hedgehog?
 * Sonic: I follow you. Sorry to keep you waiting.
 * Jet: [Points towards the Crimson Tower] First one to nab Eggman gets all of the arks of the cosmos… [Wave and Storm are surprised.] and the title of the world’s fastest creature.
 * Sonic: Heh, It sounds like fun to me.
 * Jet: Let’s get started.

[They ride towards the tower.]

Part One
[''Babylon garden is floating near the crimson tower. Inside of the mother computer room is shown''.]


 * Sonic[while throwing Arks of the cosmos to jet]: Here…
 * Jet: H-hey! We haven’t  settled anything yet.

[''Sonic and his friends keep going. Sonic waves jet off. Jet is upset.'' ]


 * Wave[whispering to Jet]:Jet, We have other things to take care of. Let’s hurry to Babylon garden.

[''Jet gives Arks  to wave. Wave puts them in a box. Babylon rouges look at sonic and his friends''.]


 * Sonic[While walking ,he talks with tails and knuckles]:I suppose we should head home too.
 * Tails: Hey, Sonic. Why do you think ancient Babylonians sealed the power unit in the Gigan Rocks.
 * Sonic: Beats me.
 * Tails: Something’s not right…[The painting of a bird like shape seen in Gigan Rocks is shown]The lightless black that assaulted the divine wings…[The painting  is vanished by a blackhole.The picture of the robot chasing Amy is shown.] and how that robot chasing Amy just exploded…[An Ark of the cosmos explodes the robot. Tails is worried..]Oh! We can’t let those meteorites get near Babylon Garden.

[ ''Everybody looks at Tails. An earthquake occurs. The robot exploded in aquatic capital breaks a window gets. It starts looking for Arks of the cosmos. The robot finds it in the box  which Wave is holding. It goes to Wave, attacks her and takes the box and starts flying to Babylon Garden. Sonic runs toward the broken window and looks out''.]


 * Sonic: How is that thing  still flying?!...Eggman!

[Sonic looks at Eggman angrily.]


 * Eggman: I don’t know!
 * Sonic[while confused.]: Whaaat?!
 * Eggman: All I can say is that something nearby  is generating  a massive electromagnetic pulse. That may have forcibly engaged the  program in the robot’s buffer!

[''Tails, Jet Knuckles and storm are standing behind Wave. Tails and Jet help her sit''.]


 * Tails: Sonic, Babylonians weren’t able to control the power of those meteorites.

[ ''Everybody is confused. Sonic turns to tails and others''.]


 * Sonic: What do you mean?
 * Tails: I figured out how they can change gravitational polarity! It’s a black hole.[Babylon garden is shown.] The meteorites amplify gravity to form black holes—That’s the[Light rays come out of the Babylon Garden.] lightless black that attacked the  divine wings.

[''Babylon Garden is transforming to a black hole. Every part of the room is shacking. Eggman is confused .'']


 * Eggman: The power units are resonating together, forming a giant blackhole!

[''Everybody is surprised and scared. Jet runs to sonic and both of them look outside''.]

Part Two
[''Blue rays of light come out of the Babylon Garden. It starts collapsing. after a few moments it’s shiny blue sphere in front of the  Crimson Tower. Suddenly, it bursts and destroys the  ground. Other window’s of the mother computer room are broken and a lot of dust comes in. Heroes cover their faces. The shards of the window are floating because there is no gravity''.]

Wh-what the…?

['' The engine of Babylon Garden is now  sucking everything. Babylon rouges are surprised. Crimson tower is destroyed gradually. Heroes are pulled to the black hole but they grab somewhere. A lot of tornadoes are made. One of them hits a part of the tower. Babylon rouges also grab somewhere so they wouldn't be sucked in the black hole. Heroes are shown''. ]


 * Tails[ While trying to stick to a place.]: At this rate the hole planet will be sucked into the it.

[ He can’t stick anymore and is pulled toward the black hole.]


 * Sonic[catching him ]: Hah!
 * Tails: Thanks, Sonic!
 * Eggman: The world is doomed.

[He presses a button and his chair goes down inside the tower.]


 * Jet: Wave! How can we stop this storm?
 * Wave: The core unit in the engine room powers the Babylon Garden.[The engine is shown while sucking everything .] If we can disconnect it, that should do the trick.

[''Jet turns to sonic. Sonic and his friends get on their gears''.]


 * Sonic: I’ll go on ahead.

[ ''They go out of the window. Heroes ride outside the  tower toward the Babylon Garden’s engine. Jet and other Babylon rouges follow them and ride to the engine''.]

Ending
[''The Babylon Garden’s engine is shown going down to earth as the sun rises. Babylon rouges are standing on a rock, looking at the engine in the sky.'']


 * Wave[ Turning to jet]: So ,are you okay with all this?


 * Jet: Well, much as I’ll miss the vastness of the space, this world still has its charm… Besides…

[ ''Babylonians are shown from far. After few moments, they all get on their boards and start riding. Inside a tube is shown. Heroes’ car passes another with tails driving and sonic sitting near him while knuckles and Amy rose are sitting on the back seats''. ]


 * Amy: Hmm…I wonder what those meteors really were…
 * Tails: They had some programming that made them try to gather up the other units.
 * Amy: Yeah?
 * Tails: It activated when Eggman found the first piece and put it in the mother computer. All the robots went berserk because they were all connected to the network. At least, I think that’s what happened.
 * Sonic: But who made that program?
 * Tails: I have no idea. Maybe those ancient Babylonians or maybe someone even more ancient… Maybe it was a warning, for people to stay away from power beyond control.
 * Knuckles: But the people of Babylon…


 * Amy: I can’t believe they were the descendants of aliens…

[''A circular explosion happens in space. Babylon Garden’s engine goes to earth''.]


 * Tails: They crash landed on this planet in ancient past…[Arks of Cosmos come out of the engine.]They disconnected the units… and left it in orbit hoping that some day it would fall back down to the surface. [Engine is shown in the night sky. A shooting star passes.]Every time they saw a shooting star…

[ ''Inside the car is shown. Sonic points to sky''.]


 * Sonic: I bet they’d wished they could get back to their home planet.

[Something is chasing Heroes car.]


 * Amy: Maybe that’s why people started wishing on shooting stars.

[ The chasing thing is getting closer and closer.]

Sonic!


 * Sonic: Hm?

[ ''Sonic looks behind. Jet is chasing them. He comes near their car and looks at them. Then he passes. Sonic gets on his board and chases him in the tubes and among cars. After a few minutes, Jet is shown going along the pipe and Sonic  going behind him. ]''
