Sonic Adventure 2/Script (Dark)

This is the Script of the Dark Story of Sonic Adventure 2.

First Cutscene
(Within Prison Island, several metal doors are closing shut throughout the base while an alarm blares loudly.)

SPEAKERS (woman): Intruder alert! Intruder alert! Security breach at Gate 3! Intruder has been located in the north quadrant, and is moving in the direction of the underground base. All units prepare to engage: basic emergency battle formations. Standard battle formations initiated. Locate and stop intruder from reaching the security area.

( "E.G.G.M.A.N." begins plays in the background.)

SPEAKERS (woman): This is not a drill. Repeat; this is not a drill.

(Eggman drops down in front of the doors from above and starts firing his weapons at them.)

EGGMAN: Hahahahaha!! That was all too easy. Now, let's take a look at what my grandfather was working on; a top-secret military weapon. The military shut down the research because they feared it!

(He then jumps down a shaft.)

Second Scene
(At the Level 7 security door, an access panel lights up and the door opens. Eggman steps through, then walks to a terminal with a small holograph of Shadow on it.)

EGGMAN: Oh-ho! So this is the military's top-secret weapon. It's a lot smaller than I expected. Hmm, "enter user data"... ah, enter password. Password is: 'MA-RI-A'. Maria! Now all I have to do is to place the Chaos Emerald into this console.

(He places the Emerald in it, and jumps past it, down to a lower level. A large mechanical pillar rises up.)

EGGMAN: Oh-ho!!

(Shadow exists out of the top of the pillar, and gazes down at Eggman.)

EGGMAN: What's that? Is that you, Sonic?! Are you trying to spoil my plans again?! Wait a minute... you're not Sonic! This is impossible!

SHADOW: My name is Shadow. Since you were so kind to release me, my master...I will grant you one wish.

(An alarm starts blaring.)

EGGMAN: Now what?!

(Shadow levitates off of the pillar using the rockets under his shoes.)

SHADOW: Behold the true power I possess.

(He flies straight upward.)

Third Cutscene
EGGMAN: Destroying that guard robot was spectacular! So Shadow, YOU are the military's top-secret weapon. But what did you mean when you said you would grant me a wish?

SHADOW: Bring more Chaos Emeralds.

(starts walking)

EGGMAN: Shadow, wait!

SHADOW: I'll be waiting for you, in the central control room, on the Space Colony ARK.

EGGMAN: ARK?!

(Eggman hits his machine out of surprise. Shadow then walks away.)

Fourth Cutscene
(In the desert, Knuckles and Rouge are arguing by the Master Emerald.)

ROUGE: Just... let it go! You just don't know when to give up, do you?

KNUCKLES: What're you talkin' about, that Emerald's mine. You got that? The Master Emerald contains special powers that neutralize the energy of the Chaos Emeralds; that makes it very powerful -- What the?!

(Eggman flies down and uses a crane attached under his machine to grab the ME, and pull it up.)

ROUGE: Wha -- thief!!

KNUCKLES: Look who's calling who a thief.

EGGMAN: I came here following the signal from the Emerald. If I'm not mistaken, this is the Master Emerald, is it not?

KNUCKLES: It's you... Doctor Eggman...

ROUGE: So that's Doctor Eggman.

EGGMAN: Well, I guess I can use it for something. I'll just take it with me. Farewell, Knucklehead.

KNUCKLES: Not if I can help it!

(Knuckles jumps up to the ME and punches it, shattering it into dozens of shards.)

ROUGE: AHHH!!

(She pauses for a moment, in a daze, then starts strangling Knuckles.)

ROUGE: What was that all about?! And look what you did to my Emerald!

KNUCKLES: I did that to prevent it from being stolen, you idiot! If it's in pieces, I can restore it. And by the way, that's not YOUR Emerald.

EGGMAN: (scratching head) Hmm... doesn't matter. I'll look into it once I get back to the base. (floats off)

ROUGE: I despise anyone who takes jewels from me. All the world's gems are mine to keep!

KNUCKLES: Yeah, well we'll see about that, bat girl!

Fifth Cutscene
(Near a pyramid in the desert...)

Eggman: Those idiots will never find my hidden base inside this pyramid. Let's take care of business here first, then get inside.

Sixth Cutscene
(Eggman enters into a room with a warp device that leads to the ARK.)

EGGMAN: With the Chaos Emeralds... in the Space Colony ARK. Hmm... I've got to find out just what's going on up there.

(He pushes a few buttons on the terminal, starting up a live news report.)

REPORTER (English): We interrupt this broadcast for an important newsflash. There has been a break-in at the federal-reserve bank today. Mysteriously, the only thing that was stolen was--

EGGMAN: --The Chaos Emerald?!--

REPORTER (English): the Chaos Emerald. According to eyewitnesses at the scene, the suspect was identified as the world-renowned hero, Sonic the Hedgehog. The suspect was seen fleeing the scene, destroying the reserve's guard robots in his path. Stay tuned for more details.

EGGMAN: Sounds more like the work of Shadow!

Seventh Cutscene
(Shadow stands on a high suspension bridge, overlooking the swarming police units below.)

SHADOW: Hmph, how pathetic.

(He begins to have a flashback of the ARK fifty years ago.)

G.U.N. SOLDIER: Find them before they escape!

(Shadow and Maria runs through the halls of the ARK, both panting heavily   from exhaustion and panic. In the Research Facility, Maria is about to die,    and leans onto a computer terminal for support in standing.)

SHADOW: MARIA!!

(A capsule closes down over Shadow.)

SHADOW: What?!

MARIA: Shadow... I beg of you... please,

SHADOW: Maria...!

MARIA: do it for me... for all the people... on that planet... Sayonara, Shadow the Hedgehog.

(He ejects from the colony; the flashback ends.)

Shadow: Maria... I still remember what I promised you... For all the people of this planet... I promise you... REVENGE!

Eighth Cutscene
SONIC: (pants, looks up) What?!

(Atop the downed robot, Shadow stands, holding a Chaos Emerald. "Throw It All Away" starts playing.)

SHADOW: It all starts with this... a jewel containing the ultimate power.

SONIC: That's the... Chaos Emerald!! ...Now I know what's going on!

(Shadow's gaze shifts away from the Emerald, and he notices Sonic walking towards him.)

SONIC: The military has mistaken me for the likes of you! So, where do you think you're going with that Emerald?

(Shadow doesn't respond; Sonic starts running faster.)

SONIC: Say something! You fake hedgehog!

(Shadow tosses the Emerald into the air.)

SHADOW: Chaos Control!!

(Catching the Emerald, a green light envelopes Shadow; he's pulled across the area at an incredible speed, flying directly past Sonic, who's running at a speed equal to Shadow's flight. Shadow lands on a roof as Sonic skids to a stop and turns around.)

SONIC: Wow, he's fast! Hey, it's not his speed; he must be using the Chaos Emerald to warp!

SHADOW: My name is Shadow. I'm the world's Ultimate Life Form. There's no time for games; farewell!!

(He triggers Chaos Control; Sonic shields his eyes from the light.

SONIC: Kuu! ...Shadow... what is he?

(Numerous GUN units appear.)

Ninth Cutscene
(Rouge is inside Eggman's base, in front of a door with a large keyhole. Her radio starts to beep.)

ROUGE: This is Rouge. I've located Eggman's base, and will proceed to enter it now.

(She turns the it off, and sighs.)

ROUGE: I hate to say it... Looks like I'm going to have to find that key first.

Tenth Cutscene
(Rouge enters the room where Eggman heard the news report.)

ROUGE: *gasp* It's a space transporter! The destination has been set to... ARK?! Wasn't that space colony shut down, over fifty years ago? What's he doing up there, anyway? Doesn't matter. It's my mission to find out what he's up to!

(She twirls onto the transporter, and it begins to activate.)

Eleventh Cutscene
(On an elevator in the ARK...)

EGGMAN: So this is the space colony ARK. I have got to locate the central control room that Shadow mentioned before he left.

Twelfth Cutscene
(Eggman walks into the control room for the Eclipse Cannon.)

SHADOW: I've been waiting for you Doctor. Now, I will show the glorious achievement of what the world's leading scientist - Professor Gerald - has created.

(The device behind Shadow boots up.)

SHADOW: The ARK was the first space colony created by mankind. Not many people know that the ARK contained a top-secret research facility, where weapons of mass destruction were being created. This is one of them; a weapon capable of destroying an entire planet. Codenamed: "The Eclipse Cannon".

EGGMAN: Destroying an entire planet...? Was this my grandfather's legacy?

SHADOW: But, it's been deactivated for some time now...

(He tosses the Chaos Emerald he's holding onto the panel behind him, and as it rests in its indent, its energy pulses through the mechanism.)

SHADOW: To reactivate it... large amounts of energy are necessary.

EGGMAN: Oh, so that's why we needed the Chaos Emerald.

SHADOW: Exactly. To reactivate the machine, we need the seven Chaos Emeralds. Once you have that, then you have the ultimate power of destruction, to use as you please. And then... the world could be yours.

EGGMAN: Hahahahahaha!! Sounds like a plan! I like the way you think, Shadow! I will get the Chaos Emeralds, use the machine to dominate the world and build a legacy of my own!

ROUGE: Do you really think it will be that easy?

(Eggman and Shadow look up to see Rouge hanging from the ceiling. She drops and glides down.)

ROUGE: I've got a great idea! How about making a deal?

EGGMAN: A... deal?

ROUGE: When you grabbed that huge Emerald, you said something about a reaction; a reaction that it may have with the Master Emerald. Now, if you could just let me borrow that radar, I may be able to help you. What do you think?

EGGMAN: If I do... what's in it for me?

ROUGE: I have an idea where the other Chaos Emeralds may be. I may not look like it, but do you know that I am a treasure hunter that specializes in all kinds of jewels?

(She pulls out a Chaos Emerald. Eggman pauses, not quite knowing what to do, then he looks at Shadow. Shadow nods in agreement with Rouge's terms, and Eggman turns back to her.)

EGGMAN: Very well.

ROUGE: Okay then, it's a deal. I don't think we've been introduced. I'm Rouge the Bat. But, you can call me Rouge.
