They chase Knuckles and Sticks. The two members of Team Sonic climb up the tree to escape. Meanwhile, Sonic get scared as he spots Dave close to him.]
 * Sonic: [Shaking] Please Dave... I'm begging you for mercy!

 * Mrs. Dave's Mom: David! What are you doing down there?
 * Dave: Nothing, Momma.
 * Mom: Are you gonna play with your dolly's all day, or are you going to go out and fight at the uphill end?
 * Dave: They're action figures! But I am a villain! And a founding member of the Lightning Bolt Society.
 * Mom: Why can't you be more like that doctor Eggman? He is such a wonderful horrible person!
 * Dave: I'm horrible too. You don't know what I can do or what I am gonna be! You don't know! I'm bad! I have bad things that you don't know about! I'll be evil! You'll see-e-ee!

 * [The team laugh. Dave walks in.]
 * Tree Spy: Dave, you want in on this sweet action?
 * Dave: [Miserably] Sorry, but my Mom says I can't hang out with you guys. You're not a bad enough influence on me.

 * [Willy tries to pick up the coin but struggles.]

[Scene Change: Unnamed Village, day]

 * Dave: Something awful, evil with vengeance!
 * [They all pet the rabbits. Dave groans. Behind him, he hears Eggman slowly clapping.]
 * Dr. Eggman: Wow. That's some A+ villainy you got there kid. Did you learn nothing as my intern? Turn the tide, and watch a master at work.
 * [He presses a button on the remote control which activates the Electrocage.]
 * Dr. Eggman: Feast your eyes on my brand new Electrocage! A surefire way to capture Sonic and his dinkum friends.
 * Dave: [Excitedly] Ooh. [Shakes his arms] Sweet.
 * Dr. Eggman: To be a super-villain, you need super-villain technology. What do you have? A dinky cardboard helmet isn't employing this guy at Meh Burger.
 * Dave: [Angrily] That's not true! You're getting employed as cut unless you're management.
 * [He furiously throws his cardboard helmet on the ground.]
 * Dave: I'm sick of everyone saying I am worthless.
 * [He kicks the box that frightens the rabbit. It jumps onto the Eggmobile's buttons firing lasers that strike a palmtree. The tree falls on Eggman.]

[Scene Change: Dave's House]
 * [Moments later, Eggman is seen trapped inside the Electrocage. He slowly gets up.]
 * Dr. Eggman: Wh-what's going on? Where am I?
 * Dave: [Slowly and evilly] Prepare. You're in my evil underground lair.
 * [He picks up a whistle and blows it between his teeth and bottom lip. The whistle makes no sound.]
 * Dr. Eggman: Looks like your finished basement.
 * Dave: I thought it was underground, didn't I?
 * Dr. Eggman: You'll never get away with this. I bet Orbot and Cubot are out there to rescue me right now!

[Scene Change: Eggman's Lair]
 * [Orbot and Cubot are resting on the couch with both hands on their chests.]
 * Orbot: Do you get the feeling something's missing?
 * Cubot: I don't know.
 * Orbot: Wait. I know. [Brings out a cup with a ball attached to the string from behind the couch] My cup and ball toy!
 * [He plays with it with Cubot watching the ball.]

[Scene Change: Dave's House]
 * Dr. Eggman: Now that I think about it, I better get comfy here.
 * [The television sounds. Eggman and Dave listen to it]
 * Soar the Eagle: Breaking news from the world of villainy. Perennial powerhouse Dr. Eggman is no longer the top villain in town.

[Scene Change: Unnamed Village, day]
 * Soar: We received this shocking video from that loser who always gets my order wrong at Meh Burger.
 * Dave: Dr. Eggman has been replaced by me, the newest king of villainy: Dave the Intern! [Wags a finger and looks away] No, wait. Dave the In... Sensible! Sonic, my arch-nemesis. I challenge you to battle! [Closes into the camera] Cower in fear before...
 * Mom: David! Come upstairs and try on your new pajamas! I bought the ones with the race cars you like!
 * Dave: [Shrieking] Moooom! You're embarrassing me and my manifesto!
 * Soar: With me is Sonic the Hedgehog. Sonic, what do you make of this?
 * Sonic: Well, Soar. To be frank, I'm happy to have Eggman out of the picture.
 * Dr. Eggman: Hah! Did you hear that, Dave? Sonic's happy I can no longer attack him. I win! [Realizes] Oh wait, I'm in a cage.
 * Sonic: As for Dave, oddly he's never really been a threat, unless you considered serving under-cooked beef a threat. [He and Soar laugh]
 * Soar: He actually proved more innocent not to be laughed at, but Dave the Intern is. [They laugh again, Eggman laughs too.]

[Scene Change: Dave's House]
 * Dave: Sizeless! [Grumpily] I'll show Sonic not to laugh at me...
 * Dr. Eggman: Nah. You get used to it.
 * [Dave switches off the TV.]
 * Dave: All I need is a little muscle. And I know just where I'm gonna hit.
 * Dr. Eggman: You better not be thinking about going to my lair and taking control of my evil technology.
 * Dave: I was just gonna join the gym and work on my biceps. But stealing your technology is a way better plan.

[Scene Change: Unnamed Village, day]
 * [An Octopus Bot being controlled by Dave, fires lasers at Sonic. Sonic dodges them and runs away. The lasers vanish in a puff of smoke. Dave laughs evilly.]
 * Sonic: [Wailing] Why did I disrespect Dave?! Why?!

[Scene Change: Village Center, day]
 * [Team Sonic and some villagers watch as Octopus Bot collides with a well followed by a tree.]
 * Dave: Vengeance shall be... [The bot shudders] Oh... Come on, you stupid thing. turn! [Lets go of the controllers and puts his hands back on them] Vengeance shall be whooa!
 * [The bot bounces off the ground.]
 * Knuckles: They seem to think vengeance shall be... something I'm just not clear what?
 * Amy: [Glumly] This is really hard to watch.
 * [As Dave screams, the Ice Cream Vendor screams too and runs away as his cart gets destroyed by the out-of-control Octopus Bot. The Bot soots ink over the village.]
 * Tails: Sonic, we gotta stop that thing!
 * Sonic: I'm on it. You guys stay here and keep Dave from hurting himself and/or others. I'm going to heroically leave, to get help. [Dashes off, leaving the rest of the gang confused.]

[Scene Change: Dave's house]
 * [Eggman, who is still trapped inside the Electrocage, tries to reach for a remote control on a shelf but to no avail, grunting in anger. He engages in his fighting pose.]
 * Dr. Eggman: No wonder Sonic hates me when I capture him. This is really unpleasant. Next time I design a trap, I should include some amenities, like magazines, beverage dispensers, shuffleboards. Something to make the people feel welcome and appreciated.
 * [Sonic arrives at the scene]
 * Sonic: Eggman. Dave is running rampant through the village with your Octopus Bot.
 * Dr. Eggman: [Frowning] He's not using the ink, is he? Those ink cartridges cost a fortune. That's really how they get you.
 * Sonic: Shall we talk about this after I rescue you?
 * Dr. Eggman: Rescue me? Oh no. I'm not getting rescued by my arch-nemesis. My friends will never let me hit the end of this.
 * Sonic: What friends?
 * Dr. Eggman: I got friends. I don't need to prove anything to you.
 * Sonic: Will you just quieten down and let me break out of here?
 * Dr. Eggman: I can't break myself out, thank you very much?
 * Mom: What's going on down there?!
 * Eggman and Sonic: [Childish voice] Nothing Mrs. Dave's Mom.
 * Dr. Eggman: You almost got us in trouble.
 * Sonic: You started it! You're being a baby and letting me rescue you.
 * Dr. Eggman: I'm not a baby! [They both stand up nervously]
 * Mom: Don't make me come down there.
 * Dr. Eggman: [Worried] Oh no. She's coming! [Whispering to Sonic] Fine, let me out. [Points to the remote control] The controller's over there, just don't tell anyone that you've rescued me.
 * [Sonic presses the button and frees Eggman from the Electrocage.]

[Scene Change: Unnamed Village, day]
 * [Sonic and Eggman, now outside of Dave's house, tiptoe onto the ground. They notice Octopus Bot still flying around the village, followed by Knuckles, Amy and Sticks, who stop by.]
 * Sonic: Hey guys, I rescued Eggman!
 * Dr. Eggman: Aw, geez. Come on!
 * [The camera cuts to Dave, who pulls a lever. The Bot sticks to the ground and falls backwards on its side, making Dave scream. Amy and Knuckles approach the bot.]
 * Sonic: So, Egghead. How do we shut this thing down?
 * Dr. Eggman: [Annoyed] Oh right. I've gotta tell you how to shut down one of my robots.
 * [A Tentacle slams down on Amy. She tries to break it with her hammer but it retreats back up. The third time it approaches Amy nails a hit on it and it detaches.]
 * Amy: Hah!
 * Dr. Eggman: Careful! I just had him waxed!
 * [Another tentacle forces Amy back, but Knuckles step in on the scene and hold on to the swinging tentacle, riding it like a rodeo and making cowboy noises.]
 * Knuckles: Yeehaa! I'm Billy the Echidna!
 * [Knuckles jumps, does a 180 turn and pulls the tentacle off. Eggman closes his eyes in fear.]
 * Dr. Eggman: Yeouch! Right in the tentacles.
 * Sonic: [Frustrated] Eggman, you gotta tell him how to shut it down!
 * Dr. Eggman: I don't gotta tell you... what.
 * [Tails approaches in his plane. As ink from Octopus Bot get fired, he steers his plane clear of it.]
 * Dr. Eggman: Oh come on! If you're gonna use the ink at least hit a guy! Oh man, this is so gonna cost me.
 * Amy: Why don't you just get the ofgram retail case?
 * Dr. Eggman: Why don't I just flush my money down the toilet while I'm at it. Those things never work. [To Sonic, glaring at him] Fine. I'll let you shut it down. There's a manual override switch. It's just between the upper and lower beak.
 * Sonic: Where is that?
 * Dr. Eggman: It's on the undercarriage. You know the seismic. Don't you know anything about octopus anatomy?
 * Dave: You're not getting anywhere near my undercarriage.
 * [Dave loses control of Octopus Bot again. Sonic steps in and dodges a tentacle that slams down on him. The camera closes in on the off switch. Sonic runs towards it, dodging the tentacles along the way.]
 * Dave: I'm finally gonna make Mom proud by destroying Sonic the Hedgehog! [Brings out his phone] I should capture this photo for clarity.
 * [The phone flashes and flinches Dave. He screams again as the Octopus Bot crashes into and destroys his house instead. Sonic gets to the off-switch and pulls it. The robot shuts down. The windshield opens and Dave climbs out. Team Sonic walk in and look at it. Eggman jumps into the bot, closes the windshield and straightens it up. He groans in anger.]
 * Dr. Eggman: He moved the mirrors, and changed all my presets! And the change coming to fee. I know I had money in there.
 * [As Eggman and the bot flees. Everyone hearws Mrs. Dave's Mom.]
 * Mom: Get me outta here!
 * Dave: Mother?!
 * Mom: David, are you responsible for destroying my house?!
 * Dave: [Drops his arms in misery] Yes, mother.
 * Mom: That's a terrible thing you did. I am so proud of you.
 * Dave: So, I'm not a loser?
 * Mom: No. You're... a villain.
 * Sonic: I think our work is done. Come on, gang, let's go home.
 * [Team Sonic turn back and walk home. Tails finds a coin stuck on the ground and gets excited.]
 * Tails: Hey, a quarter!
 * [Tails tries to pick it up but struggles. The Lightning Bolt Society watch over him and laugh as the screen fades to black.]
