Sonic Forces/Script

This is a script for the cutscenes in Sonic Forces.

Cutscene 001
[Dr. Eggman's laboratory.]
 * [The scene shows Dr. Eggman walking across a platform. The scene cuts to Cubot cleaning some of the strange capsules.]
 * Dr. Eggman: Sonic. How I hate him. [stops walking and looks at a pix-elated screenshot of his new weapon.] And all of that loathing has been focused into this invincible instrument of destruction. [Cuts to Orbot typing onto a terminal, and Cubot wiping one of the strange capsules. The camera pans, revealing a strange masked figure.] Every defeat. Every humiliation at the Hedgehog's hands will be returned a thousandfold by my unstoppable creation. [Dr. Eggman walks up to the capsule, and pushes Cubot out of the way. The camera cuts to a close-up of the figure's body. The finalized Phantom Ruby prototype lies on the figures chest.] This is my dream come true. With this invention, I can expand the Eggman Empire across the globe, and conquer the world! Mwa-ha-ha-ha!
 * Orbot: The boss means business this time.
 * Cubot: Mhm

[Cuts to one of the strange capsules, with the strange masked figure looking at the camera.]

Cutscene 002
[City.]
 * [The scene shows Eggman and his badniks cornering a group of civilians (including Tails) only for Sonic to appear in the nick of time to destroy the badniks, causing the civilians to cheer on Sonic]
 * Sonic: Is everyone okay?
 * Tails: We are, thanks to you. Cutting it kind of close, though, pal.
 * Sonic: Yeah, that's pretty much how I roll. Okay, let's finish this, Eggman!
 * Dr Eggman: It will be your finish, Sonic. Behold the power of my ultimate masterpiece!
 * [Sonic shrugs and is about to attack Eggman with his homing attack, only for it to be blocked by a mysterious figure, Sonic manages to land on his feet and recognizes the figure of what appears to be Shadow who for some reason has different eyes]
 * Sonic: Shadow! It's you? [Zavok appears] Zavok!? [followed by Metal Sonic] Metal!? [And lastly Chaos] Chaos!! [Then a mysterious figure with a red aura floats down, Sonic charges at the new opponent only for him to quickly move out the way, much to Sonic's surprise] Huh?
 * Tails: Woah! This guy is faster than Sonic!
 * [The figure fired a laser from his palm at Sonic (to which he dodged) and the latter uses his homing attack on the figure only for the hedgehog to be kicked into the air and then round-housed onto a building]
 * Tails: No, wait! It's something else. Gotta scan him and figure this out.
 * [The figure fires two lasers from his palm at Sonic (to which Sonic also dodges), Zavok charges at Sonic and punches at Sonic only for him to block the attack and roundhouse the Zeti, he then charges at the figure and jumps into the air to attack the figure, only to see Metal is about to attack him, Sonic uses his stomp move and proceeds to charge at the figure only for him to move out of the way, when Sonic lands on a building, Chaos appeared out of the blue and is about to punch Sonic; to which the latter blocked]
 * Sonic: What are you? How are you doing--
 * [The figure appears and roundhouses Sonic again]
 * Eggman: Nice!
 * [Sonic gets up]
 * Sonic: Tails! I need to know what's going on with this guy!
 * Tails: I'm trying, Sonic, but these readings are all messed up! They don't make any sense!
 * [The figure proceeds to roundhouse Sonic once again only for him to evade the attack this time and somersault out of the way but the figure attacks the hedgehog causing him to be launched into a building and then gets launched into the air by the figure who then blasts lasers from hims palms and then gets pummeled by Shadow, Zavok, Chaos and Metal all in that order]
 * Sonic: Running out of time here, Tails!
 * [The figure delivers one last blow on Sonic, Sonic tries to lift himself up but to no success]
 * Tails: SONIC!
 * [Cuts to Sonic's point of view as we see the figure floating down as Sonic loses consciousness]

Cutscene 003

 * Narrator: With Sonic defeated, Eggman's army quickly took over. Within months, all but a few isolated areas in the world were under their control. Despite the overwhelming odds, a rag-tag resistance formed banding together to continue the fight. And now, a new face prepares to join the stuggle.

[Scene change: Resistance HQ.]
 * Vector: Eggman's army is unstoppable! Without Sonic, the people are losing hope and giving into despair.
 * Silver: Despair is a luxury we don't have.
 * Amy: I still dream that Sonic is with us. Do you think he might be--
 * Silver: I'm an optimist, but I'm also a realist. Sonic is gone, Amy. And Tails is... Tails has just lost it. If we're going to win we have to do it without them.
 * Espio: Silver is right. We've been hoping for a miracle these past six months, but I'm afraid we have to make our own miracle.
 * Silver: Eggman's army has everyone terrified. If we want the people to rally, we have to show them that strength doesn't just come from numbers.
 * Charmy: Not everyone is terrified. Isn't a new recruit joining us today?
 * Silver: Yes, a survivor from the city, right?
 * Amy: I'm accessing the file now...

Cutscene 004
[Resistance HQ.]
 * [Knuckles comes in.]
 * Silver: Knuckles, what's the sitrep Commander?
 * Knuckles: Happy to see you're all still alive. Eggman's forces have chewed through our defenses at Green Hill. And the resistance in the city is reporting that whatever it is that finished Sonic... [Sees everyone sad] Sorry, I'm still not used to saying that. Whatever it is has got then running in fear.
 * [The Avatar enters.]
 * Knuckles: All except for this brave kid who survived the battle and made it here in one piece. Meet our newest recruit.
 * Charmy: Doesn't look like much.
 * Knuckles: Neither do you Charmy, but I still managed to find a use for your pointy butt.
 * Charmy: Teehee.
 * Knuckles: [Gives the Avatar a Burst Wispon] Here kid. Take this. We're depending on you. Ok, let's get going everybody. The world's not going to save itself.
 * [Everyone agrees]

Before Chemical Plant: Spaceport

 * Knuckles: I've just received some incredible news! Sonic is alive!
 * Silver: No way! That's excellent!
 * Amy: What!? Oh, thank goodness! I knew it! I knew it!
 * Knuckles: He's captured in the orbiting prison. My spy there says he's in a solitary confinement cell, and they've been torturing him for months.
 * Amy: That's horrible! We have to rescue him!
 * Knuckles: Plan's already happening, Amy. I've got a squad on the way to the Space Port in the Chemical Plant to "borrow" a shuttle. C'mon, guy. Who's up for an old-school style jailbreak?

Cutscene 005
[City.]
 * [The scene shows Tails trying to repair E-123 Omega but to no avail.]
 * Tails: Hmm... That should have done it... I couldn't figure it out for you buddy. I'm sorry I wasn't smart enough.
 * [Suddenly, Chaos appears from a sewer pipe and prepares to attack Tails.]
 * Tails: Whoa, Chaos! Sonic, help me!!
 * [Tails crouches in fear as Chaos begins to attack. Suddenly, Classic Sonic appears from a portal and attacks Chaos and saves Tails.]
 * Tails: S... Sonic? You're... You're alive! Wait, what? Oh.. You're that Sonic from another dimension aren't you?
 * [Classic Sonic nods.]
 * Tails: Right right right that makes sense! I think. Do you know how you got here?
 * [Classic Sonic shrugs.]
 * Tails: Maybe that power that Eggman is using is somehow affecting other dimensions. Which might work to our advantage. I mean, everything happens for a reason right? We need to save the world! And maybe that's why you're here. To help save the world! Either way, it's still good to seee you Sonic. Heck, it's good to see any Sonic!
 * [Classic Sonic looks at Tails, puzzled.]

Cutscene 006

 * Narrator: A couple of months ago in the city.

[Scene change: City.]
 * Resistance trooper: Fight back!
 * Infinite: There is no reason to resist. Your savior is no more.
 * [Infinite unleashes a beam and quickly defeats the troopers. The Avatar is seen scared when a White Wisp Wispon lands near him. The Avatar picks it up and attempts to shoot but fails.]
 * Infinite: I can taste your terror, child. All that anxiety and doubt... It's delicious. [fires a shot at the Avatar but misses] Give in your to fear. Flee, screaming, and I'll let you live.
 * [Infinite laughs as the Avatar looks on in worry.]

After City: Ghost Town

 * Rouge: Knuckles! Can you hear me?
 * Knuckles: Rouge. It's about time! How's Sonic doing?
 * Rouge: He's been better. They're getting ready to banish him into space.
 * Silver: What? You can't be serious!
 * Rouge: Eggman's been keeping Sonic alive all this time. He's been waiting to show him completed empire before banishing him.
 * Knuckles: And torturing Sonic just to pass the time. That's low, even for Eggman.
 * Rouge: Eggman got wind of our rescue plan and is moving forward with his plan ahead of schedule. The clock is ticking, boss.
 * Amy: But we don't even know where he's being held captive.
 * Rouge: Yes we do. Eggman rebuilt the Death Egg. That's where he's keeping Sonic.
 * Vector: The Death Egg? Oh, man, that's not good.
 * Knuckles: None of this is good, Vector. That's why it's called "war." You all know what to do. Let's go get Sonic.

Cutscene 007
[Death Egg.]
 * Zavok: This is the end, Sonic.
 * Sonic: (Sarcastically as the cell door opens): Oh hey, sounds like the party's started. Want to let me go and join in? No? Of course not, you hate fun. (As the alarm rings and his cuffs come off): Oh wow! The end huh? Let's see you try something now that I'm free.
 * Zavok: Foolish hedgehog. Getting out of your chains does not make you free. Now come and face the inevitable.
 * Sonic: (Running out of his cell): The only thing inevitable here is my foot kicking your butt.

Cutscene 009
[Death Egg.]
 * [The Avatar is ambushed by three Egg Pawns which Sonic easily destroys]
 * Sonic: Easy there, everything's cool. [helps the Avatar up] Are you here to rescue me?
 * [The Avatar nods]
 * Sonic: Can't tell you how much I appreciate it. It's been a while since I've seen a friendly face.
 * Knuckles: [Over Radio] Hey Rookie, you still in one piece?
 * Sonic: [sarcastically] Oh sure, don't even bother to ask how I am.
 * Amy: SONIC, I'm so glad!
 * Knuckles: Hold up Amy. We're all happy Sonic is alive, but he won't be for long if he doesn't get off that egg in a hurry!
 * Sonic: Your concern is touching Knuckles.
 * [Sonic and the Avatar board the stolen shuttle and escape the Death Egg]

After Death Egg: Egg Gate
Knuckles: Sonic, finding you alive is the best news we've had in months! And here's the bad news: Our intel indicates that Eggman's got a weapons base in Green Hill, pumping out munitions for his war effort.

Silver: A factory? We can't take out Eggman's home base in Metropolis if he's got a factory supplying him.

Knuckles: No kidding. Look Sonic, I know you just got back but we're spread thin. Can you take care of this? We need that factory in Green Hill destroyed. Take the rookie with you.

Vector: You sure about this? The kid was shaking like a leaf the whole time we were at the Death Egg.

Charmy: That's because it's cold in space! The factory is nice and warm!

Knuckles: It will be when it's burnt to the ground! Sonic, you take the lead! Rookie, just make sure you take good notes.

Sonic: I've got six months of payback I'm just dying to spend. This sounds like a good start!

After Green Hill: Arsenal Pyramid
Amy: Something is attacking inside the Mystic Jungle! Silver is fighting him or it or.. whatever. Just hurry!

Silver: Guys, its him!

Sonic: I'm looking forward to a second round with this guy!

Cutscene 014
[Mystic Jungle, Outside lab]
 * [The rookie arrives at the lab and upon arrival, the rookie finds a copy of the Phantom Ruby outside the lab and picks it up. Shortly afterward, Classic Sonic and Tails arrive at the lab.]
 * Tails: Have we met before?

[Scene change: Resistance HQ]
 * [All three enter the resistance base and Tails flies to Sonic and gives him a hug as he's happy to see him again.]
 * Tails: SONIC!
 * Sonic: TAILS!
 * Tails: I was sooo worried. I thought that you were..
 * Sonic: You worry too much. Look, I'm perfectly fine. Ah, it's been generations since I've seen you. You okay?
 * [Classic Sonic gives him a thumbs up.]
 * Tails: The good news is you're safe. The bad news is that Eggman said he has some plan that would destroy us all in three days!
 * Sonic: Three days huh? A lot can happen in that time.

Cutscene 015
[City.]
 * [Sonic finds Shadow in one of the streets.]
 * Sonic: All right Shadow, what's the deal?
 * [Shadow says nothing and charges toward Sonic.]
 * Shadow: CHAOS CONTROL!!!
 * [The screen flashes white and another Shadow appears to take out the attacking Shadow. After this, Sonic looks in confusion.]
 * Sonic: Another Shadow!?
 * [The fake Shadow disappears]
 * Sonic: He just disappeared.
 * Shadow: That was a fake.
 * Sonic: A fake? How?
