Sonic and the Secret Rings/Script


 * Sonic: ZZZ...
 * Shahra: Um...
 * Sonic: ZZZ...
 * Shahra: Hmph! Hey, wake up!
 * Sonic: Yaaaaawwn! Boy, is it that late already? What time is it? Huh?!
 * Shahra: You are the blue hedgehog.
 * Sonic: Ahh... what the...!
 * Shahra: Do not be alarmed! I am Shahra, the Genie of the Ring. ...you know, like "Aladdin and the Magic Lamp"...?
 * Sonic: Don't think I've read that.
 * Shahra: What? You've got to be kidding me! It's the best story of all the Arabian Nights? Or at least the 2nd best... But that's the point. Please, look at this!
 * Sonic: Hey, the page is blank!
 * Shahra: Our world... The world of the Arabian Nights is vanishing.
 * Sonic: Vanishing? But how?
 * Shahra: This is the work of an incredibly evil spirit... the Erazor Djinn.
 * Sonic: Erazor.. Djinn?
 * Shahra: Yes. He used his evil magic to become even more powerful. He could not to bear to simply remain in the book any longer. And so he has begun to set the inscriptions free, absorbing the power of the book itself.
 * Sonic: The power of the book?
 * Shahra: If our world ceases to exist, then not only will those stories be silenced forever, but the Erazor Djinn will then be unleashed into your world.
 * Sonic: That definitely sounds like trouble. But, what do you want me to do?
 * Shahra: I want you to stop him... You must stop the Erazor Djinn. Only you, the blue hedgehog, can do it.
 * Sonic: Hmm. So, this guy needs someone to put him in his place, does he? I suppose I can help out with that. It might even be fun. But... this is all just something out of a storybook, right? How am I supposed to do anything about that?
 * Shahra: That's easy. You are my master, having called forth the Genie of the Ring. As such, I am able to grant your wishes. Simple wishes, at any rate. Bringing you into the world of the Arabian Nights is within my power.
 * Sonic: What?! Inside that book?
 * Shahra: Now please, place the ring on your finger!
 * Sonic: Like this? OUCH! Hey, take it easy!
 * Shahra: My apologies, o Master. But now, the contract has been sealed.
 * Sonic: Contract?
 * Shahra: Yes. As Master of the ring, I am now bound to protect you. Now, rub the ring!
 * Sonic: Like... like this?
 * Shahra: "O Master of the ring, what is thy wish?"
 * Sonic: Achoo! Achoo! How about a handkerchief for starters! Make that a few! Thanks! You're a lifesaver. You see, I caught this cold, yesterday, and...
 * Shahra: Please, be serious!!
 * Sonic: Okay, okay. Thanks for the hankies, though.
 * Shahra: Oh, please, someone tell me that this isn't really happening...
 * Sonic: Alright... let's go! Take me to this world of the Arabian Nights!
 * Shahra: As you wish, Master!
 * Sonic: Suit it, will you! My name's Sonic. Sonic the Hedgehog!
 * Shahra: Very well, then, Sonic. ...the Legendary Hedgehog. Here we go! Into the world of the Arabian Nights!
 * Sonic: OK! Now THIS is first-class! Here we go!! Okay, so who's this guy who's trying to make the world disappear again?
 * Shahra: You mean the Erazor Djinn?
 * Sonic: Yeah, that's right. Can you take me to him?
 * Shahra: There is no need.
 * Sonic: Whaddya mean?
 * Shahra: He's here!!
 * Sonic: What's that all about... talk about close shaves... Maybe you know where I could get my guills sharpened, too?
 * Shahra: Sonic! That's him! He's the evil spirit who is striking the words of our world from the pages!
 * Erazor Djinn: You... you must be that blue rat that just got added to the story...
 * Sonic: Don't you know anything? I'm not a rat! I'm a hedgehog.
 * Erazor Djinn: I am Erazor Djinn! I am the one who shall carve up this world as I see fit.
 * Sonic: Yeah... well if you're going to do that, can you at least wait until I'm done reading it, first?
 * Shahra: Sonic...
 * Erazor Djinn: One hundred of the One Thousand and One Nights have already been wiped clean! And soon, the rest shall join them, night by night. And then, with the seven World Rings...
 * Sonic: Seven World Rings?
 * Erazor Djinn: You have gathered the seven World Rings for me, have you not. Shahra, my dear?
 * Shahra: Are you still going on about that? I told you, those things don't exist! And even if they did, I'd never give them to you!
 * Erazor Djinn: Oh? Wouldn't you, though?
 * Shahra: ...
 * Erazor Djinn: I suppose a suitable punishment is in order, then...
 * Sonic: Look out!! Ugh!
 * Shahra: Sonic!
 * Erazor Djinn: Aha... hahaha. So, this is how Judgement is dealt, is it? Hmmm. This should be interesting. You listening? Bring me the seven World Rings before the arrow of flame extinguishes. If you do not...
 * Sonic: !?
 * Erazor Djinn: ...your life is forfeit. Next, I think I shall collect the life of King Shahryar...
 * Shahra: The king is the creator of the Arabian Nights and the main character of the story!
 * Sonic: With my speed, we'll just have to make sure we get to him first! First, let's find the king's palace.
 * Shahra: Yes, let's hurry! If you have at least one Ring, you can get hit without being hurt. The pillar is being manipulated by magic! Look out! Erazor's henchmen! Sonic, you can get the pearl by defeating the spirit! Watch out! The red spirits can breathe fire! It's a dead end!
 * Sonic: Whoops Time to make a U-turn!
 * Shahra: It should be cooler inside.
 * Sonic: Um... doesn't quite look like it.
 * Shahra: Huh? What?
 * Sonic: Ha!
 * Shahra: Just past that pier is the town.
 * Sonic: Where is he? Are we too late?
 * Shahra: !?
 * Sonic: What's Dr. Eggman doing here?! Aha! I knew it! This is all another one of your schemes!
 * King Shahryar: What is the meaning of this? I am Shahryar, kin of this land!
 * Sonic: Eggman, what are you up to this time?
 * Shahra: Sonic, wait! You're making a mistake! This is him. This is King Shahryar!
 * Sonic: Really?!
 * King Shahryar: Such insolence! Guards! Seize that blue spiky thing at once.
 * Shahra: Where are your men, Your Highness?
 * King Shahryar: Oh, that's right... let me explain. When the evil spirits appeared out of nowhere, everyone turned and ran. And I was stuck having to hide in that jar. Noooo! Help meeee!
 * Erazor Djinn: Hmph!
 * Sonic: Well, well. Guess it's time for a little action.
 * Shahra: Are you ready?
 * Sonic: Shahra! Let met show you just how fast I am!
 * Shahra: This stone full of genie magic.
 * Ali Baba: Oh, thank you! I thought I was done for!
 * Sonic: Tails! What are you doing here, too?
 * Ali Baba: ...Tails? My... my name is Ali Baba.
 * Sonic: Come on, Tails! I know its you!
 * Shahra: I'm very sorry. He seems to have you mistaken for someone else.
 * Ali Baba: Oh, it's okay! I'm still very grateful that you saved me. I might not be very strong, but I've still got some kicks up my sleeve. If you ever need help in return. It would be the least I could do to repay you.
 * Shahra: Thank you. If something comes up, we'll be sure to call you! Sonic, look!
 * Sonic: Whoa! I take it that's not something you see everyday, huh?
 * Shahra: That must be the monster summoned forth by the Erazor Djinn!
 * Sonic: Shahra! Can't you do something about it with your magic?
 * Shahra: I'm sorry, Sonic. My magic is no match for that of the Erazor Djinn.
 * Sonic: OK then! Guess I'll just have to deal with him the old-fashioned way! And hey, don't look so glum. Shahra! I'll have you smiling by the end of this. And that's not me ordering you as your master. That's a promise from me to you.
 * Shahra: Yes... alright.
 * Sonic: Alright! Let's do it! Aha, he seems pretty tough. Alright, let's do this!
 * Shahra: The big eyeball on its back seems to be its weak spot! Watch out for its tail attack! That huge eye just has to be its weak point.
 * Sonic: Looks like he can't take much more of this! That's it! The eye is the weak point!
 * Shahra: Just one more hit!
 * Sonic: Sorry, but you were in my way.
 * Shahra: There it is, Sonic!
 * Sonic: So that's...
 * Shahra: This must be one of the seven World Rings the Erazor Djinn spoke of! ? I can't pick it up...
 * Sonic: Ow!
 * Shahra: "When darkness descends upon the Arabian Nights - the legendary blue hedgehog from another world shall come."
 * Sonic: Me? Legendary? You've got to be kidding! You're gonna make me blush!
 * Shahra: "When the seven rings that control the world are gathered, the portal between the worlds shall open. But the life of the collector of the rings shall be offered up in sacrifice as the key for that control." That is what is written in the newest chapter of the Arabin Nights.
 * Sonic: Say what?! I'm supposed to be a sacrifice?
 * Shahra: That, I cannot say for sure. But I do believe that these World Rings hold the key to some kind of mystery. And I think that we need to collect them to get to the bottom of this mystery.
 * Sonic: Well, considering that I still have this arrow in me to worry about. I guess I'm in a pinch either way, right?
 * Shahra: I'm sorry. It's all my fault that all of this is happening to...
 * Sonic: Hahaha. Hey, don't worry about it. Besides, don't you know ow fast I am? Time may fly, but I'm even faster! Whoa! Something's after us! Wh-what did I do?
 * Shahra: I don't know just run! Don't let them rush you with their horns!
 * Sonic: They just don't give up!
 * Shahra: If we can just across the bridge up ahead, we should be okay!
 * Sonic: Uwaaah! Noooooo!
 * Shahra: Sonic!
 * Sonic: Whew! That was a close one!
 * Shahra: Sonic, can't you swim?
 * Sonic: Wahoo! YEAH! Excellent!
 * Shahra: Eeeek! Maybe that flying pot can help us across to the other side.
 * Sonic: Oops! Whoa! Thanks!
 * Shahra: How many of these guys are there?! There's no end to them! I've got a bad feeling about this!
 * Sonic: Uhh. My quills are starting to tingle... Whoooa! Out of the frying pan and into the fire, huh?
 * Shahra: That about sums it up! Hey, look at its tail!
 * Sonic: Got it! He seems pretty hungry!
 * Shahra: Then make sure he doesn't decide that you're snack! Jump!
 * Sonic: OK!
 * Shahra: This catapult looks like it works at a different angle than the last. Just a little more, Sonic!
 * King Shahryar: You! Spikey thing! Do something! Save me! Aaaahhhhhh!
 * Shahra: Ah?!
 * Sonic: ...!!
 * King Shahryar: Whew! How dare you! I am the King! Must you he so rude?
 * Sonic: Sorry!
 * Shahra: Your Highness, where did that spirit go?
 * King Shahryar: Just as feared, he's gone ahead to that castle and it seems more minions are being assembled.
 * Sonic: Castle?
 * Shahra: There's a giant fortress just ahead. It's a relic from an ancient kingdom...
 * Sonic: So, feel like going to pick some flowers?
 * Shahra: There is no time for goofing around!
 * Sonic: Well, look, who's here?
 * Shahra: Look out, Sonic! Jump!
 * Sonic: OK!
 * Shahra: Maybe we can use its attacks to get to the other side! Ah! Sonic, watch out!
 * Sonic: How many of these guys are there?! There's no end to them! Hey, isn't this a pretty little flower bed!
 * Shahra: There is no time to relax, Sonic! It's a spirit egg! Sonic, destroy it!
 * Sonic: Gotta make sure I dodge those iron balls. Hey, look! We got company!
 * Shahra: Erazor's henchmen!
 * Sonic: Hah! That was a piece of cake!
 * Shahra: Great job, Sonic!
 * Sonic: Looks like we've got our hands full.
 * Shahra: Sonic, are we going to be okay?
 * Sonic: Hey, look at that!
 * Shahra: It's another one of the seven World Rings!
 * Sonic: Ah! This power...
 * Shahra: This must be what has driven the spirits mad, I think. It is only recently that they have been behaving this way.
 * Sonic: Well, I think I've had just about enough of this. ... Speaking of which, as Genie of the Ring, can I ask you for a favor?
 * Shahra: "O Master, your wish is my command."
 * Sonic: Do you think you could take this Judgement thing out of my chest for me?
 * Shahra: ... I am sorry.
 * Sonic: Hey, no worries. Cheer up.
 * Shahra: Hm.
 * Sonic: Don't sweat it! Anyways, no adventure is fun if it's too easy, right? Although it would have been nice if your magic DID work, in any case... Okay, then! Let's keep going!
 * Shahra: Yes. Is this a castle?
 * Sonic: Whoa, who's the big guy?
 * Shahra: I've never seen a spirit get that big! Oh! The air is so hot in here!
 * Sonic: You're not going to evaporate, are you, Shahra?
 * Shahra: Sonic, look up!
 * Sonic: Let's keep going, Shahra! It's him! What's he doing here?
 * Shahra: He's calling more spirits!
 * Sonic: Spirits?!
 * Erazor Djinn: Ifalas zaras l e zaraq Ifalas zars l e zaraq Come forth from the fiery depths of Jahannam, ye condemned by lblis! Lz Afrit!
 * Ifrit: Roooaarr!
 * Sonic: That's...!
 * Shahra: It's a djinn that controls fire... It's called an lfrit?
 * Erazor Djinn: I have already carved up half of the pages that make up this world.
 * Shahra: Then why do you need to call forth a creature like that?
 * Erazor Djinn: (Laughs) I've decided to let the lfrit burn whatever pages remain in the book. You, blue RAT! Have you gathered the seven rings yet?
 * Sonic: And enough of that RAT stuff... seriously! I'm a hedgehog! HEDGE-HOG!
 * Erazor Djinn: All you filthy vermin are worthless just the same... At any rate, you'd better hurry it up!
 * Sonic: Dang!
 * Erazor Djinn: With only half of the flame left, only half of your life force remains.
 * Sonic: Wait!!
 * lfrit: Roooaarr!
 * Sonic: Hey, you! Get out of our way! What the...? That didn't work!
 * Shahra: It's no use, Sonic! Your life is tied to the flame! You cannot fire with fire!
 * Sonic: Oh yeah? Just watch me! Oh, this does NOT look good! Shahra! Lend me your power! "Time Break!!" Sorry, but we've got to run! Don't worry - I'm sure we'll get the chance to play again real soon! ...the we escaped back here.
 * Ali Baba: Hmmmm. Well, let's see... My friend Sinbad might be able to share some of his worthy knowledge with you.
 * Sonic: So, where is he?
 * Ali Baba: Well, according to rumor, he was fighting some pirates when he was taken by the Rukh.
 * Sonic: The Rukh...
 * Ali Baba: It's a giant bird. Well, not exactly a bird. It's more like a living fossil.
 * Sonic: Huh. Well, okay, so then where is this, er... bird thing?
 * Ali Baba: I think the Rukh flocks someplace out in the skies to the west.
 * Sonic: The skies, huh? OK! Hey, Shahra!
 * Shahra: "O Master, what is thy wish?"
 * Sonic: We need that magic carpet! We've got ourselves a Rukh track down!
 * Shahra: The wind speed here is incredible! Be careful, Sonic! Way to go, Sonic!
 * Sonic: Maybe we should go down, here. Look out below!
 * Shahra: Aaack!
 * Sonic: Man, this Sinbad must really be someone special.
 * Shahra: Of course! He's one of this world's heroes! Watch out for those spikes, Sonic!
 * Sonic: Hey! That stone statue just moved! You're not getting away! Let's do it!
 * Shahra: H-hey! Sonic, wait! That was close!
 * Sonic: Heh! No problem! Here we go, Shahra!
 * Shahra: Sonic, slow down!
 * Sonic: Hey, if you want to play tag, go do it someplace else!
 * Shahra: Are you okay, Sonic?
 * Sonic: Just leave it to me!
 * Shahra: Look out, Sonic!
 * Sonic: YAHOOO! Wh-whooaa!
 * Shahra: You can probably use the ivy to get across.
 * Sonic: Let's go, Shahra!
 * Shahra: Be careful, Sonic! Ah! Sonic, watch out! Yikes! What's with the spikes! They just keep coming! Just a little more, Sonic!
 * Sonic: Alright!
 * Shahra: Ah! Over there!
 * Sonic: Hey, Knuckles! How'd you get here?
 * Sinbad: I am Sinbad of the Seven Seas! Adventeur of adventures. Who the heck are you?
 * Shahra: Oh, Sinbad! It truly is you, the great adventeur? Would you be willing to give us some of your worldly wisdom?
 * Sinbad: Hey, er. Miss... uh...
 * Shahra: Shahra.
 * Sinbad: Listen. I hate to break it to you, but I'm kind of stuck, here. YOU'RE the ones who should be helping me.
 * Shahra: I feel a strange magical force here. It might be the work of the Erazor Djinn. Which means if we can break the spell, we can undo this lock!
 * Sinbad: Now you're talking, that's the ticket, Shahra!
 * Sonic: Come on, Shahra, let's just leave him there.
 * Sinbad: Hey, listen, hedgehog! Life's a game of give and take, see? You help me get out of here... ...and in return. I'll help you out later. Not a bad deal, huh?
 * Sonic: Wisdom... Knuckles? ? Ah, never mind. Come on, let's find that key.
 * Shahra: Don't worry, Sinbad! We'll rescue you!
 * Sinbad: Yeah, any day now, thanks.
 * Sonic: Oh, come on... Alright, let's get started!
 * Shahra: Good luck, Sonic! The device to break the seal should be atop this tower.
 * Sonic: Hmmm. Well, let's get that taken care of, then. Yahoo!
 * Shahra: Yaaaaah!
 * Sonic: Okay, now what? Should I pull this lever? Huh? We're back where we started.
 * Shahra: Okay, now we need to find the next switch.
 * Sonic: Oh well. Guess we got to have a little more fun.
 * Shahra: Fun?! Is that what all this is to you?
 * Sonic: Well, look who's in here! Two to go!
 * Shahra: If we could stop the sand from flowing, we could walk on it.
 * Sonic: Just one more to go!
 * Shahra: That was close!
 * Sonic: Heh! No problem! Finished!
 * Sinbad: Phew! Okay, so about the fire genie, then... Why not just try splashing some water on him?
 * Sonic: WOW! The wisdom of Sinbad of the Seven Seas! The adventurer of adventurers!
 * Sinbad: Hey, I don't see you coming up with any better ideas!
 * Ali Baba: Stop it! The problem is, how are we going to get ENOUGH water, to put out a fire genie, right?
 * Sinbad: I was getting to that. ? You see, the pirates who locked me up here took the Water Blue Ring I use to control storms.
 * Tails: A water blue...
 * Shahra: Ring.
 * Sonic: First a fire genie, and now pirates, huh? The Arabian Nights really are worlds of endless adventures, aren't they?
 * Shahra: The seas have turned stormy...
 * Sonic: Well, so much for a vacation. Shahra, watch out!
 * Shahra: Let's do it!
 * Sonic: Whoa!
 * Shahra: Ooh! You are so reckless!
 * Sonic: See, now this is why I love coming to the ocean. Phew! That was pretty rough!
 * Shahra: Sonic, are you hurt?
 * Sonic: Phew!
 * Shahra: Ooh! It's so pretty! Proceed with caution. I've got a bad feeling. Be careful!
 * Sonic: Think we can get through those?
 * Shahra: Talk about a close call!
 * Sonic: Had me worried there for a second. Heheh. I'll take that! Okay! Let's use this!
 * Shahra: Are you kidding me?!
 * Sonic: Ha! Yahoooo!
 * Shahra: Great job, Sonic!
 * Sonic: Let's head for the goal!
 * Shahra: Don't strain yourself too much!
 * Sonic: There they are!
 * Shahra: They must have the ring that lets them control the power of storms!
 * Sonic: Shoot first and ask questions later, huh? That's pirates for ya.
 * Shahra: Come on, let's just hurry!
 * Sonic: Alright, fine. Let's do it!
 * Shahra: Watch out for the cannonballs!
 * Sonic: Whoa! They're over here, too?!
 * Shahra: Be careful not to fall.
 * Sonic: Aha, someone's looking for a deal!
 * Shahra: Sonic... This should be interesting.
 * Sonic: Come on, let's have some fun! Settle down! I need that World Ring of yours!
 * Shahra: Ooh! Now I don't know which one of the pirate is! Maybe there's a way to grab onto those horns and pull them out.
 * Sonic: Well, that did the trick!
 * Shahra: Yes! Keep going! The source of power is its horns! There must be something you can do! One more horn gone! I almost feel bad for the poor guy. Just one more horn left! Time to finish this thing off!
 * Sonic: Hey, cheer up! The horns will grow back eventually.
 * Shahra: That's another of the seven rings... the Water Blue Ring. I can't even touch the ring.
 * Sonic: Looks like I'm the only one that can touch them. I betcha because I'm not from this world. Does that mean these rings aren't from these world, either?
 * Shahra: Sonic...
 * Sonic: This has to be the ring that Sinbad was telling us about before. Now, let's go back and defeat that, um... whatchamacallit.
 * Shahra: The lfrit, the great spirit of fire.
 * Ali Baba: There's smoke coming from the castle! It looks like the lfrit's power to burn the world away is getting stronger!
 * Sonic: Okay, I'm ready! I hope you're ready for this, genie! Sorry to keep you waiting!
 * lfrit: Roooaarr!
 * Sonic: I didn't mean to leave you hanging, earlier. You're not still mad at me, are you? You really need to learn to be more patient, you know. Now, Ring of Water! Bring forth a mighty storm!
 * lfrit: Rrrrgh!
 * Shahra: Sonic! Look! The lfrit is getting weaker!
 * Sonic: Okay, now let's finish this! You know, I've let you play around more than enough for one day!
 * Shahra: Sonic, be careful! The lfrit is no child! I sense a strong power coming from the light on the lfrit's head... Try to find some way to get the lfrit to lower his head into range! AS the lfrit's body sinks, the water level in the furnace rises.
 * Sonic: Stubborn little fella, isn't he? Well, okay, maybe not 'little.'
 * Shahra: That's it! You've found its weak point!
 * Sonic: Alright! Looks like it's almost lights out of you, big guy!
 * Shahra: Maybe you should try attacking the hands holding up its body? It looks like the lfrit's eye laser itself won't hurt you!
 * Sonic: Now I see why they tell you not to play with fire.
 * Shahra: What the...?
 * Sonic: What is that thing? Is something... about to hatch?
 * Shahra: I can hear... I can hear something like a heartbeat.
 * Sonic: Uh, Shahra... I think that might be some sort of time bomb!
 * Shahra: It's beating faster!
 * Sonic: Oh. No! This can't be good! We've got to get out of here! This thing has to explode out in the open!
 * Shahra: You're right! Hurry! We have to get out of here!
 * Sonic: Let's go, Shahra! Come on! We're almost there! Huh? Hey, look at this.
 * Shahra: Is that what I think it is?
 * Sonic: Yep. Another one of the seven World Rings.
 * Shahra: I wonder if it was inside the lfrit this whole time.
 * Sonic: I feel... rage. All that rage must have been sealed up inside of him.
 * Shahra: Rage?
 * Sonic: These rings must somehow seal in various emotions, too. The power of rage...
 * Shahra: ...
 * Sonic: So then, what's next?
 * Shahra: Let's go meet with King Solomon! King Soloman is the one who sealed away the evil spirits long ago. This strange occurences must connect back to him somehow.
 * Sonic: OK, then! Off to our next adventure!
 * Shahra: Snow? No... it's something else.
 * Sonic: These bones are giving me the creeps.
 * Shahra: We can probably use them to climb up.
 * Sonic: This doesn't seem very sturdy. These are huge!
 * Shahra: There must be something up there!
 * Sonic: Want to try checking it out?
 * Shahra: Watch out for the two-handed sword! You think you can hit me with a slow attack like that? There's something about the eyes in this skull... Thanks for the help, mister! We've hit the jackpot!
 * Sonic: Is this a tomb?
 * Shahra: It looks like some kind of arena. King Soloman should be in here!
 * Sonic: I'd rather almost it were deserted, at this point... It looks like we might be a little late.
 * King Solomon: I should say so!
 * Sonic: Whoa!
 * Shahra: King... King Solomon?
 * King Solomon: Indeed! I am the great and powerful King Solomon!
 * Sonic: If you say so...
 * King Solomon: Don't think I'm happy looking this way either! The Erazor Djinn did this to me! He resurrected the 40 Thieves as evil spirits and sent them to attack me here.
 * Shahra: And that's how you ended up... like that?
 * King Solomon: Precisely, my dear. And that being the case, could I ask you a favor? Might I beseech you to track down the rest of my body? I'd also be grateful if you could do something about the 40 Thieves, as well.
 * Sonic: Hah! No problem!
 * King Solomon: ...and many such spirits were driven to madness. It is my fault that they became the minions of the Erazor Djinn. However, by carving up words that make up our world, new spirits have also appeared. His power is nearly godlike.
 * Sonic: Godlike, huh...? Well, that's a problem, then.
 * King Solomon: Even so, supernatural beings like the Erazor Djinn always have weak points, that are told of in stories.
 * Sonic: Huh?
 * King Solomon: In truth, he is a Genie of the Lamp. Somehow, though, he has escaped. If we had the lamp he belongs to, it could be possible to seal him away again... forever.
 * Sonic: Lamp, huh?
 * King Solomon: Hmmm... there is one problem, though. Returning the lost stories to their original state requires greater power than we have. It would take a miracle.
 * Sonic: Leave it to me. That's why I'm here, after all.
 * King Solomon: I see. So, then you are the legendary blue hedgehog... A great curse had been placed upon you. I can see your eyes, the grim fate that awaits you.
 * Sonic: Hey, quit staring. You're giving me the creeps!
 * King Solomon: Hm. I am a bit hesitant to put this upon you, but... I will tell you this. You can find the Erazor Djinn in his palace, up in the sky. Show me that your part of this legend can come true.
 * Sonic: Thanks... Now it's time I make a legend for myself, then!
 * King Solomon: Hold the White Ring up to the palace gates, and they will open.
 * Sonic: OK! Thanks for your help.
 * King Solomon: I sense death approaching...
 * Sonic: Hehehe. Looks like my time limit is about up.
 * Shahra: Sonic?!
 * Sonic: Sorry. I don't mean to worry you. ...I'll be okay.
 * Shahra: I'm so, so sorry. It's my fault that this happened to you...
 * Sonic: Really. Don't worry about it. Just remember my promise... The promise between me and you.
 * Shahra: I haven't forgotten that promise!
 * Sonic: I knew I could cont on you Shahra. It's gonna takes more than some tiny flame to bring judgement down on me! Come on, let's go!
 * Shahra: Okay! So this is where Erazor is...
 * Sonic: Don't worry. We'll get him in no time! This is about to come crumbling down!
 * Shahra: Hurry! Hurry! Before it breaks!
 * Sonic: I know, I know!
 * Shahra: It's a trap! What do we do?
 * Sonic: We just have to face it! Well, guess it's time to rumble!
 * Shahra: Now of all times is when we should stay on guard. I guess next up, we go for a walk on the air.
 * Sonic: This just keeps getting better and better. Hey, check out the view!
 * Shahra: Sonic, we don't have time for sightseeing!
 * Sonic: He must be through here. Whoa, what the...?
 * Shahra: The room... stretched! Something's come out.
 * Sonic: Which means maybe we can go in!
 * Shahra: Where could this be?
 * Sonic: Incoming!
 * Shahra: Watch out! The path is spitting, too! There's something about this hourglass...
 * Sonic: A switch, maybe? The gas... watch out...
 * Shahra: We're getting weaker... The gate! It's fixed!
 * Sonic: Just what IS this place? So, we're finally here.
 * Shahra: Stay confident. Let's go.
 * Erazor Djinn: Ah... It's the blue rat again.
 * Sonic: Hey, looks like I'm running a bit low, here. Think you could top me off?
 * Erazor Djinn: Have you brought the seven World Rings?
 * Sonic: Well, you see... You should really just look for them yourself.
 * Erazor Djinn: Very well... I'll carve you to pieces until I find every last one!
 * Sonic: Is that so? Let's see you try! I used to time things very carefully.
 * Shahra: Okay! Talk about a close call!
 * Sonic: Had me worried yhrtr for a second. Hey, what's going on?
 * Shahra: I think there's something we can do, here.
 * Sonic: That's it.
 * Shahra: One of the seven World Rings. This one is purple.
 * Sonic: This one... This one is sealed with sadness.
 * Shahra: Just what are these rings all about, anyway?
 * Sonic: Hey, there's something I've been thinking about, Shahra. What is it? How do you and Erazor Djinn know each other?
 * Shahra: Huh? W-well...
 * Sonic: Hey, if you'd rather not talk about it, that's okay.
 * Shahra: Sonic...
 * Sonic: Is he really a Genie of the Lamp like that king of bones said?
 * Shahra: Yes... Well, you see...he's the genie of the magic lamp from the story of Aladdin.
 * Sonic: ?!
 * Shahra: Long ago, he was punished for his misdeeds and sealed away in the lamp. He would not be forgiven until he had granted the wishes of a thousand people. But when his sentenced has been served, he had a rewarded hatred of people. That was his fate...said, as it was. His cursed destiny came from the story he had been written into.
 * Sonic: ...Shahra.
 * Shahra: To the Erazor Djinn. I am just a mere Genie of the Ring. I want to stop him, though. I want to turn the stories of the Arabian Nights back to what they were. That is... my wish. Look out! The light from his eyes can turn you to stone!
 * Sonic: Oh, that's right. I think I remember reading about that... Man... there's just no end to these evil spirits, is there?
 * Shahra: That's...
 * Sonic: It must be another one of the seven World Rings.
 * Shahra: Are you okay?
 * Sonic: Yeah. I'm fine. Ok...alright. Just touching it makes me feel like I've got a whirlpool of emotions spiraling around inside me. I can't even begin to imagine what having all seven rings would do to someone.
 * Shahra: ...
 * Sonic: It might even open the gates of hell..
 * Shahra: Sonic... here.
 * Sonic: ?
 * Shahra: I want you to hold on to this.
 * Sonic: Uh... okay. What is it?
 * Shahra: If nothing else we do is able to stop him, this will be our final resort.
 * Sonic: Shahra...
 * Shahra: I cannot use it by myself. That was it! Now for the next one!
 * Sonic: I hope we don't get the next one wrong.
 * Shahra: Wow, this place is huge!
 * Sonic: So, this is why they call it the Skeleton Dome. Hey, look at this.
 * Shahra: It's a white ring. One of the seven, I'm sure.
 * Sonic: Uh! Definitely one of the World Rings! It feels... it feels like light. To think this thing... could cause so much trouble.
 * Shahra: You mean... the ring?
 * Sonic: Such great power can bring people either happiness of misfortunes.
 * Shahra: There are many such stories told of in the Arabian Nights.
 * Sonic: For instance, this ring seems to be filled with "desire." That could mean aspiration, or maybe it could be great and ambition.
 * Shahra: ...
 * Sonic: Just what does Erazor want by collecting all of these rings? I've been waiting to finish things with you for a long time!
 * Erazor Djinn: You fifthly rat! I'll shut that mouth of yours permanently!
 * Shahra: Watch the way that Erazor swings his sword!
 * Erazor Djinn: Hmmph! Take this!
 * Sonic: Aha! It's working! Now I just have to keep that up!
 * Erazor Djinn: Hah! Insolent pest! Your feeble attacks cannot harm me! Come you fifthly rat! And face me!
 * Sonic: What's wrong, Erazor? You don't look so good!
 * Erazor Djinn: Enjoy your moment of pride, rat. It shall be your last! Come, Sonic! And face me! N...no... this isn't possible!
 * Shahra: Sonic?!
 * Sonic: Ah. I'm okay. I'm still...
 * Shahra: That door. What is it?
 * Sonic: I have an idea! Watch this! Open. Sesame! Ah, it didn't work!
 * Shahra: That's... There must be some sort of... Offering we need to make. Seven,,, Sonic?!
 * Sonic: "When the seven rings that control the worlds gathered, the portal between worlds shall open." We've got the seven World Rings, This must be the door that they open! You just don't give up, do you?
 * Erazor Djinn: You've brought me all seven World Rings. Well done!
 * Sonic: Hey, of course! We're such good buddies, after all!
 * Erazor Djinn: Shahra!
 * Shahra: ...
 * Erazor Djinn: You have done well in using him to gather the rings. Now, give them to me!
 * Sonic: Hey, hold on! Aren't you going to do something about this?
 * Erazor Djinn: Shahra, please, quickly! Let us rule the world together!
 * Sonic: Shahra?! Wh-what's...?
 * Shahra: I... I must...
 * Sonic: Shara, stop! You can't do this! Think about what will happen!
 * Shahra: I'm sorry. I have no choice... I just want to be back with him.
 * Sonic: No! As Genie of the Ring. I command you! "Do what you truly think is right!"
 * Shahra: Ahhh... aaaaah!
 * Sonic: Shahra!
 * Erazor Djinn: Prayers - Sadness - Rage - Hatred - Joy - Pleasure - Wishes. The seven hearts that make up the stories. These are the seven World Rings that bind these pages together!
 * Sonic: Wha...!!
 * Erazor Djinn: "But the life of the collector of the rings shall be offered up in sacrifice as the key for that control." I offer up YOUR life, blue hedgehog!
 * Sonic: Ngh! Shahra!
 * Shahra: Sonic... I'm... sorry. I knew... all along... I knew what would happen, and I still got you involved.
 * Sonic: It's okay. It's not your fault.
 * Shahra: Did I change my destiny? Did I keep our promise?
 * Sonic: Shahra! Grant me a wish! I wish for you to not die and to go back to the way you were!
 * Shahra: I'm so sorry, Master. I... cannot grant...
 * Erazor Djinn: Hmph. In the end, such is the weak power of a Genie of the Ring. Ugh? Hrrrrgh! Wooaaarrrgh!
 * (Erazor Djinn transform into Alf Layla wa Layla)
 * Alf Layla wa Layla: I am Alf Layla wa Layla. I AM the Arabian Nights. I will be its new creator! I will remake this world and this reality in my own image!
 * Sonic: This is awful. You're just some incomplete monster... Aaahhhh!
 * (Sonic transform into Darkspine Sonic)
 * Darkspine Sonic: We've got to stop him... Shahra! Please, lend me your power!
 * Alf Layla wa Layla: I am... the creator... The stories of this world... are mine...
 * Darkspine Sonic: If this is your world, then it's a world that I don't want any part of it! Shahra!
 * Alf Layla wa Layla: Mwahahah! You think you are a match for me?
 * Darkspine Sonic: If I watch the beam of light, when he's attacking. I can probably dodge it.
 * Alf Layla wa Layla: It would take a miracle for you to avoid my attacks!
 * Darkspine Sonic: Wow! You're really using up the soul gauge!
 * Alf Layla wa Layla:
 * Darkspine Sonic: HA! How's this for an introduction, then? I have to stay clear of that whirlpool...! Maybe Time Break and Speed Break might work...
 * Alf Layla wa Layla: Gwaaah! How can you have this power?! Rrrraaaargh!
 * Darkspine Sonic: Your tale is finished, Erazor! Next time, try writing a better story.
 * (Alf Layla wa Layla transform back into Erazor Djinn)
 * (Darkspine Sonic transform back into Sonic)
 * Erazor Djinn: I shall not be defeated! If you defeat me, I will simply return, again and again! I am immortal! I cannpot be vanquished! Muhhuhu-hahaha! That can't be!? That's...the--
 * Shahra: "I want you to hold on to this."
 * Sonic: "...go back to the way you were!" The genie of the lamp is supposed to grant three wishes, am I right?
 * Erazor Djinn: I will never grant any wish from the likes of you!
 * Sonic: Hm! My first wish. Bring Shahra back to life!
 * Erazor Djinn: Ugh! My body... My body is...
 * Sonic: My second wish. Return the Arabian Nights to the way you were, so that the world can have its stories again!
 * Erazor Djinn: Wha! Ugh! M-my...
 * Sonic: My third wish. Erazor Djinn! You shall live out the rest of time, trapped inside your lamp as you were in days of old!
 * Erazor Djinn: Ugh... ugh... ugh! Shahra. I know you're there! Please, stop him! We can start over, the two of us! I swear! I swear it! The world is mine! I cannot be denied by fifthy rat! Whyyyyy?!
 * Sonic: I told you. I'm not a RAT! I'm a HEDGEHOG! Shahra... Will you grant me one more wish?
 * Shahra: ...?
 * Sonic: I wish for a mountain of handkerchiefs. Now, just let yourself cry. As much as you need to. You'll have plenty of handkerchiefs to help you through it.
