Sonic Riders: Zero Gravity/Script (Heroes)

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

Opening
[''Crimson Tower, night. A meteor flies through the sky towards the tower. A meteorite is seen from the computer room's window. After a while the shooting star distorts an energy wave, stops in midair and drops to the ground. It rolls along the ground until it hits a SCR-GP robot's foot. The robots in the Meteor tech start working, destroy the walls and stomp towards the camera. The next morning in Monopole, a car is driven in a tube.'']


 * Radio: Robots made by the leading security company Meteotech are no longer responding to commands, and and are running amok all over the world. The international security organization GUN has begun to investigate the event. Meteotech has not issued a formal-

[Tails is driving and Sonic is playing with an Ark of the Cosmos.]
 * Sonic: Is this the meteor that fell last night?
 * Tails: Yeah! The sound of the impact woke me from my sleep, and I found it outside.
 * Knuckles: Yaawn...
 * Tails: We'll be at Megalo Station shortly.

[''Megalo Station is shown from a distance. The heroes' car is going through a tunnel when a surveillance device detects the Ark of the Cosmos in Sonic's hands. Security alarm goes off and Knuckles looks up.'']
 * Knuckles: Hm? Hey!

[''The door behind them is closed and robots are chasing them. they go ahead but the door ahead closes soon and they have to turn back''.]
 * Tails: What should we do, Sonic!?
 * Sonic: [pointing to an elevator] That elevator!

[''They turn back again and get in which nearly shakes Knuckles off the vehicle. The elevator ascends.'']
 * Knuckles: What's up with them?
 * Tails: Are they the ones from the news?
 * Sonic: Watch out! [They reach the 300th floor and the door is opened. Many robots outside charge at the trio but Tails rides though them.] Go! [The robots try to attack but the trio managed to shake them off and then they realize they're going to crash straight through a building.] Brace yourselves!

[''The wall of station explodes and three friends are falling. Tails starts flying''.]
 * Tails: Sonic!

[''A blue energy is emitted from Sonic. Knuckles and Tails while flying turned to look at Sonic who is floating with the debris of the wall.'']
 * Sonic: What's going on? Is this the stone's power. Heheh! YAHOOOOOOOOOO! [Free-falls towards the station]

Botanical Kingdom
[''Robots are flying over the giant greenhouse, searching for the trio of heroes. Sonic, Tails and Knuckles are hiding within the giant plants inside the greenhouse and are looking at robots.'']
 * Sonic: They don’t give a guy a break, huh?
 * Knuckles: We can’t just stand around here!
 * Sonic: Right! [Sonic is grabbed by Amy.] Whoa!
 * Amy: Guess who!
 * Sonic: Amy!? What are you doing here!?
 * Amy: Fated lovers are always drawn together, silly.
 * Sonic: Amy...
 * Amy: OK you got me. I was running away from those robots. I was so scared... [jumps onto Sonic.]
 * Sonic: H-hey...

[An Ark of the Cosmos falls to the ground.]
 * Tails: What’s that?
 * Amy: The cause of all my troubles! I picked it up and those stupid robots came after me!
 * 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 MeteoTech.
 * Knuckles: Hey, Sonic! We've got company!

[SCR-GP robots are seen rushing towards them.]
 * Sonic: OK... Here we go!

[They ride on their Extreme Gears towards the camera.]

MeteorTech Premises
[''Inside Meteor Tech is shown. Robots are everywhere. Sonic, Tails, Knuckles and Amy are hiding before a big door''.]
 * Sonic: Looks like we’ll need to watch our step.

[''A surveillance device detects Babylonians who are standing far behind Sonic and his friends. SCR-GP robots are commanded to go to Babylon Rogues.'']
 * Knuckles: Dang.

[SCR-GP robots start to rush towards Sonic and his friends but they pass them.]
 * Sonic: Look out! [While turning and looking behind him] What? [Robots stop in front of rouges.] That's...

[''Jet performs a Gravity Control and destroys the SCR-GP robots with his fellow members. Then they landed in front of Sonic and his friends''.]
 * Jet: It’s been a while, Sonic the Hedgehog.
 * Sonic: Jet!

[Storm and Wave fall behind Jet.]
 * Wave: Long time no see, shorty.
 * Tails: Wave!
 * Storm: We’re here to settle the score from last time.
 * Knuckles: Any time, Babylon Rogues.
 * Jet: Cut it out, Storm. Alright, 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 living in the universe, and today I’m going to prove it!

[''Security alarm starts. Robots are coming to them''.]
 * Tails: Sonic, we can’t stay here.
 * Sonic: Looks like we’ll have to do the reunion later. See ya Jet.
 * Jet: Hey! Wait!

[They get on their Extreme Gears and ride along the path ahead.]

Aquatic Capital
[Sonic and Jet are riding on their Gears in a path.]
 * Jet: So you can use that power too?!
 * Sonic: Pretty handy, really.

[''Sonic dives into some robot. Eggman is working with his computer in a room''.]
 * Mother Computer: Engage EM algorithm, maximum value. Access mother computer. Mother computer access denied.
 * Dr. Eggman: Why!? [Sound of a crashing is heard.] Hmm? [He stands up.] What this racket and now of all times!

[''He goes to door. The door is opened. He points some where while he is confused. Sonic and Jet hit him with their gears and he is sent backwards on his computer's key board''.]
 * Knuckles: What went flying just now?

[Eggman gets up and sits on his chair.]
 * Dr. Eggman: Do I look like a ball to you?!
 * Sonic: Eggman?! What are you doing here?!
 * Dr. Eggman: What do you mean? I own this company! Aha ha ha ha!
 * Sonic: What!? So you're the ringleader behind this one too, Eggman?!
 * Dr. Eggman: Ringleader? What the devil are you babbling about?
 * Sonic: Come on, cut the act! I'm talking about the global robot rampage!
 * Dr. Eggman: You must be joking. That's been quite a headache for me as well.
 *  Knuckles: Like we'll believe anything you say!
 * Dr. Eggman: Calm down! We go way back, don't we? I'll let you in on something. Not even I know why are they've gone amok, but they appear to be following a leader. [SCR-HD is shown.]
 * Sonic: A leader?! [The room is shown.] Well, I guess for now we'll buy that Eggman isn't involved.
 * Tails: So maybe that has nothing to do with the robots that attacked us...

[Sonic's Ark of the Cosmos is shown.]
 * Dr. Eggman: Whe-Where did you get that?!
 * Sonic: So you were holding out on us, Eggman!
 * Knuckles: [Threatens Eggman.] Spill everything you know. Now!

[Eggman starts working with his computer.]
 * Dr. Eggman: Very well, I'll tell you... [A picture of Mother Computer room starts coming into the view.] All robot activities within my facility is normally controlled by the mother computer. As the core of MeteoTech network, it was supposed to be the perfect computer. But as of a few days ago, I've been unable to control it remotly. [The power unit is shown.] The power core unit within the mother computer is a stone identical to what you're holding. Accoriding to my analysis.... That stone can covert huge amounts of mass energy into other forms of energy, and exudes a unique magnetic field....
 * Knuckles: Huh?
 * Dr. Eggman: Shut up and listen! [Robots are shown.] In any case, it appears that somehow, the robots' leader also contains a stone with similar powers to the one in the mother computer.
 * Sonic: What!?
 * Dr. Eggman:  [A map of the world is shown. Signals are sent from Crimson Tower.] If my deductions are correct, the robots' leader is using the world's robots in an attempt to collect these strange stones from around the globe.
 * Sonic: But why do they need the stones?
 * Dr. Eggman: That even I don't know.
 * Jet: ....They're drawn to one another. They aren't just some rocks. They're spoken of in Babylon clan  legend as... Ah! That's right! Girl, give me back the Ark of the Cosmos!
 * Tails: Amy's gone!
 * Wave: Storm is not here either!
 * Dr. Eggman: Sounds like we've got a fix on the robot leader's location. [He starts working with his computer again.] Satelite monitor on!

[''Three points, chasing each other, are marked. The first is the robot leader, the second is Storm and the last is Amy.'']
 * Sonic, Tails and Knuckles : Amy!

Gigan Rocks
[''Sonic, Tails and Knuckles are riding. Suddenly Sonic sees something and stops.]''
 * Sonic: Amy!

[Amy is standing and in front of her is a broken robot and then she turns to Sonic.]
 * Amy: It took you long enough.

[''She starts beating Sonic. Tails goes to the robot.'']
 * Tails: What happened here?
 * Amy: Don’t ask me. First it comes flying at me full tilt, then it just blows up.
 * Sonic: It blew up?! [Sonic goes to robot.]
 * Tails: Wait, does that mean...
 * Sonic: What is it, Tails?
 * Tails: Sorry... I need to think it through a little more first.
 * Knuckles: [While coming a bit nearer to Amy] Hey, where’s that meathead, Storm?
 * Amy: He grabbed something out of this robot and high-tailed it out of here.

[''A broken part on the robot's back is shown. Friends wait for a moment.]''
 * Knuckles: So does this mean the rampaging robots will all cool it?
 * Tails: I don’t think it’s that simple. If Eggman started all this with putting that stone in his mother computer,  I don’t think it’ll stop until we remove it.
 * Knuckles: So where is that?

[''The group starts thinking. Suddenly Amy remembers something.'']
 * Amy: Wait, I remember storm saying something weird about the thing he took from that robot matching something they found someplace else. Well..Ooh, where was it he said? Gi... Giga...Something like that. Wait, Gigan...
 * Knuckles: The Gigan Rocks.
 * Amy: Right! What you said!
 * Sonic: You know it, Knuckles?
 * Knuckles: It’s a pretty famous ruin among us treasure hunters. A legend about shooting stars tells of some star shard sealed there that can grant your wishes.
 * Tails: Shooting stars! Sonic let’s head to the Gigan Rocks right away. We might find a clue about these stones.
 * Knuckles: Leave the directions to me. But they say the star shard is in a sacred chalice deep in the ruins and getting there ain’t easy. No body’s made it back alive yet. We’ll be risking our necks.
 * Sonic: Yeah! Don’t worry, that’s nothing new.

[''They ride to the ruins. The broken robot starts working slightly.'']

Part One
[''Sonic and his friends are riding to a stony area. There is a painting of a bird like shape and a chalice there. The painting has some cracks on it and under it there are some inscriptions on a stone. They stop.]''


 * Sonic: Was there an earthquake here?

[Knuckles runs to the chalice.]
 * Knuckles: It’s gone.
 * Sonic: What’s wrong?
 * Knuckles: The legends say the star shard is supposed to be in this chalice. [while holding the chalice.] Did it roll off somewhere in the quake?

[''Tails is looking at the painting. He comes closer''.]
 * Sonic: Hey, Tails what’s up with the painting?
 * Tails: The divine’s wings.
 * Amy: The divine’s wings?
 * Tails: Yes, the legendary bird that the gods rode through the heavens. Knuckles see if you can read the inscription.
 * Knuckles: The divine wings, the straddler of stars loss it’s plumes to the dark and fall to the ground. The plumes become as stars, returning to this land. We, the Babylon children…
 * Sonic: Babylon?!
 * Knuckles: What connection do they have with these stones?
 * Tails: We still don’t know. But could the stones those  robots are after be the plumes written  about in here. The divine’s wings, the straddler of stars could  they be some kind of power units used to operate a starship?
 * Sonic: So this divine’s wing thing is …
 * Tails: Right! Babylon Garden.

[''Eggman’s air ship goes through the sky. Following it Babylon Rouges are flying their airship.''] Sonic: Jet! Eggman!
 * Tails: Knuckles what the rest of inscription says?
 * Knuckles: Huh!  Oh right. We, the Babylon children seal one star here and the other within the great scar, formed in heaven’s fall until the time  of the divine’s wings rising.
 * Sonic: The great scar?
 * Knuckles:  There is more... The great scar, lying in the east among earths stained red by the dawn’s light.
 * Tails: Eggman and Jet were headed east too .That must be the crater formed when the meteorite struck the ground .That must be where Eggman found the plume.
 * Sonic: Which means the mother computer…
 * Tails:… Is probably waiting, too.
 * Sonic: Alright, now it’s time to go catch up.

Part Two
[Sonic and his friends are riding in a desert toward the crater.]
 * 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 c control 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.]

Heroes Ending
[''Eggman is in the mother computer’s room. A special equipment which has spaces for the Arks of The cosmos comes out of the ceiling. Eggman starts putting Arks in it. All of a sudden, the door of the room opens and Sonic, Jet and the others come in. The wind of Sonic and Jet’s Gears send Eggman backwards and the drops the Arks he was holding fall. Sonic and Jet get two of the arks. Eggman falls on the computer and gets an electric shock. Wave gets the Master unit which went flying as Eggman fell .]''


 * Wave: So this is the master unit.
 * Mother Computer: System error detected. All commands canceled.
 * Eggman: My Eggman land plans are in ruins again, after all these years.
 * Sonic: Deal with it Eggman. You’re through.

[The ground starts shaking.]
 * Knuckles[ While going to Eggman  in a threatening way]: A trap… What have you done, Eggman?
 * Tails: Look!
 * Sonic: Babylon Garden…

[The Babylon garden can be seen outside. ]
 * Wave: The resonance from all five power units must have called it down.
 * Jet: Then the legends were right…

[Sonic and Jet look to their units.]
 * Sonic: Here…

[ He throws the units to jet.]
 * Jet: Hey wait we haven’t settled anything yet. [Sonic gets ready for going.] Turning tail and running away ,Sonic the Hedgehog?
 * Sonic: Running away? Who do you think I am? I’ll be waiting... See you at the World Grand Prix.
