This is a transcript of the Sonic Underground episode, "Beginnings".

[The Sonic Underground theme song plays]
Aleena (narrating): There was a time when Robotropolis was beautiful. It was then a peaceful city known as "Mobotropolis". But just after my children were born, the evil Doctor Robotnik used his technology... to turn our world...
Robotnik: [snickers]
Aleena (narrating): ...into a place of terror. As the source of Robotnik's money, the aristocrats were left to play, while our people were roboticized... and became slaves. Our royal family was outlawed, a price placed on our heads.
[Sonic and Manic are seen snoring as their medallions begin glowing]
Aleena (narrating): Then, the Oracle of Delphius revealed the prophecy to me.
Oracle: Some day, you will reunite with your children to become the Council of Four... [scene changes to the planned future when Sonic and his family are older] …and overthrow Robotnik. But there is a price, Your Highness.
[Scene changes to the present time. Aleena is rubbing Sonia’s face]
Aleena (narrating): For the prophecy to be fulfilled, I had to give up my babies.
[Scene changes to a house during a thunderstorm. Aleena has begun delivering her children to different couples, starting with Sonia. Aleena sobs for a brief moment and kisses her daughter goodbye. She rings the doorbell and runs off]
Windermere: [looks around] Huh? [sees Sonia and gasps as she begins to pick her up as lightning strikes] [Scene changes to another couple’s house. Aleena drops off Sonic as she rings the doorbell]
Father: Huh? [He sees Sonic as the hedgehog smiles at him. The father gasps. Sonic gets out of his basket and dashes into the house using his speed for the first time, passing the father’s legs.] [Aleena knocks on another door as she drops off Manic. She dashes off. Just then, a rat thief runs out from behind a corner and abducts Manic, basket and all, just as a woman opens her door. She gasps and shuts it, running back into the house.] [Scene changes to a dim room. A light is swinging as the rat shows Manic to Farrell. He uncovers the hedgehog and smiles to what he sees. He puts his open hand near Manic as the hedgehog grabs his finger for a greeting]
Manic: [Talks unintelligibly due to his infant age as he shakes Farrell’s hand]

[Farrell smiles. He picks up baby Manic and pats him on the back as Manic smiles.]

[A few years later, Manic and his siblings are toddlers. Manic is seen with sunglasses drumming on a bench]

Farrell: Have you been studying your lessons, Manic?
Manic: Yep!
Farrell: Well then...?
Manic: One sec. [He throws his wooden drumsticks into his pocket and walks over to Farrell, but his teacher is looking for something.]
Farrell: Oh my! Where is my wallet? [Manic presents him his wallet] Well done, lad. You're a good boy, a wonderful student. And as a reward... [fumbles] now where did I... oh, they were right ov- [Manic is heard drumming on the bench. He has new, metal drumsticks. Farrell laughs as he knows Manic’s tendency to be sneaky]
Manic: Reppin' sticks, man! [spins and puts his silver drumsticks in his pocket as he goes to hug Farrell.]
Farrell: [gasps as his student hugs him]
Manic: Thanks, Farrell.
Farrell: Always get the finest, my boy.

[Scene change to Windermere’s house. Windermere is seen reading, and Sonia is skipping on an uncomfortably high ledge. This grabs the woman’s attention]

Windermere: Sonia, no! Come down from there instantly!
Sonia: Okay!
Windermere: Good gracious, child!

[Scene changes to Sonia playing the piano as Windermere watches on.]

Sonia: [Finishes] Now may I go out and play?
Windermere: Of course, my dear. [Sonia somersaults away as she sighs]

[Scene changes to Sonic’s new parents’ house.]

Father: Come on, Sonic! Bath time!
Sonic: No bath! [inside the house, Sonic is seen running around at the speed of sound] No bath!
Father: Sonic Hedgehog, I thought I said no revvin' in the house!
Sonic: Rev yes, bath no!
Father: Well then, I guess I'll just have to eat all those chili dogs by myself.
Sonic: [Sonic speeds back, hearing what his father said, and pulls out his guitar] Rub and scrub time! [he begins playing the guitar]

[scene changes to nighttime at Sonic’s parents’ house. The Swatbots have arrived]

Father: Sonic, listen to me. Run as fast as you can to Uncle Chuck's. Don't stop and don't look back!
Sonic: Why? What about you?
Father: [hugs his son] We'll be okay, Sonic. But you know what I need to see? The biggest rev you've ever done!
Sonic: [tears begin forming in his eyes] Really? You want me to rev?
Father: Sure do, pal. Let's see it.
Mother: [begins crying] We love you, son!
Father: Go, Sonic! GO!
[Sonic dashes off just as a Swatbot busts down the door]
Swatbot: Citizen. You are under arrest.
Sonic: [makes his way to his uncle’s, but then hears his parents’ house get ignited. He gasps] Oh no! [Sonic sees the house engulfed in flames, and he is on the verge of crying. He dashes back leaving a flame trail. He returns to the burning house and his eyes fill with tears again] Noooo…!
Sonic: [gasps]
Chuck: Sonny!
Sonic: Huh? [runs to his uncle] Uncle Chuck! [he jumps into Chuck’s arms as he begins crying in sorrow]
Chuck: It's gonna be all right, sonny boy.

[years later. Sonic and his siblings are now teenagers]

Chuck: It'll take all your speed to get through that prototype shield Robotnik's puttin' up, sonny.
Sonic: No problemo, Uncle Chuck! "Fast" is my middle name.
Chuck: Eh, can't argue there! [chuckles] But just remember: you can't let Robotnik seize ya! Keep your speed up!
Sonic: Yeah, what's up with that, Unc? How come I have to be so careful?
Chuck: Eh, because if he found out who was takin' out all his factories, he'd be huntin' you all the time! [looks at his wrist watch] Whoa, come on boy! Jelly and jam time!
Sonic: [coughs] That's juice and jam, Unc.
Chuck: Oh. [the hedgehogs laugh] Okay, boy. Be careful! [presses a button and lets Sonic out] Good luck, Sonic!
Robotnik: Shield status!
Robot: Shields ready, sir.
Robotnik: Good. Activate! [the robot pulls a lever to raise the shield] Now if the Resistance uses their secret weapon, they'll be in for a big surprise! [bellows with laughter]
Chuck: You don't have to do this, sonny.
Sonic: Got to, Uncle Chuck. If I don't bust through that force-field, Ro-butt-nik’ll put 'em around every factory. Not to worry, been practisin', Unc. Gotta do it to it! [zooms away] See ya! [He makes his way to the factory, blowing trees in the process]
Robotnik: Prepare to lift off!
Robot: Sir, motion sensors detect fast-approaching object.
Robotnik: Radar?
Robot: Too low, sir.
Robotnik: Ahhh, can't wait!
[Scene changes to rats near trash. They see Sonic and jump away as the Blue Blur passes them]
Sonic: [strains] Just... a little... faster!
Chuck: Almost there, sonny! Give it all you got!
[Sonic begins going faster]
Sonic: [strains] Yaaaahhhh! [penetrates the shield] No way I'm stoppin'! Just a little... more! [breaks the shield down] YEAH!
Robotnik: It destroyed my force-field! Nothing can be that fast! What is it?!
[Sonic grabs an explosive]
Sonic: Yes! [He scatters the explosives]
Robotnik: Explosives! The factory's going to blow! Lift off, military speed! Guhhh! [the ship takes off as the factory explodes] Whaaaaa! [the robot bumps into him] Oh, get off me, you stupid bag of bolts!
Robot: Analysis of secret weapon is now complete.
Robotnik: Excellent! Report.
Robot: Sensors indicate that the subject is blue, sir.
Robotnik: Blue? That's all?!
Robot: Yes, sir.
Robotnik: [growls]

[Scene changes to Chuck’s house. Sonic is passed out on the couch]

Chuck: You cut 'em bad, Sonny. Robotnik won't recover from that for a while. I'm gonna see if I can find a doctor, sonny. [his eyes fill with tears as he sniffs] Don't you do nothin' stupid while I'm gone, you hear me? [sniffs]
[Just then, a green flash enters the house and in front of Sonic, waking him up]
Sonic: [moves his arm and wakes up a little] What? Who? [the light is revealed to be Oracle]
Oracle: The time has come, Sonic.
Sonic: Yeah, yeah, whatever. [puts the pillow on his face]
Oracle: Sonic, your destiny awaits.
Sonic: Yeah, tell it to wait outside. I'm too tired to care.
Oracle: Easily remedied. [Uses a spell on Sonic that somehow removes his fatigue]
Sonic: Gooooood mornin' Robotropolis! Oh yeah, I'm up- [lands on the couch] Oof! I'm wide awake? How'd you do that? And who are you?
Oracle: I am the Oracle of Delphius.
Sonic: The what of who? [The Oracle magically creates a table and chairs] Oh, okay, I'm dreamin', right? [The Oracle creates a batch of chili dogs] Whoaaa, this dream is way past cool! [he chows down on some chili dogs]
Oracle: Now that I have your attention, it is time you found out who you are... Prince Sonic! [this shocks Sonic]
Sonic: [gulps] Mmm? Prince?
Oracle: Yes, Prince Sonic. And you are not alone in your quest.
Sonic: Yeah, I know, I got Unc and the other Freedom Fighters.
Oracle: You also have a brother and a sister.
Sonic: [has a spit-take and throws away his chili dogs] What?!
Robotnik: Enter, bounty hunters!
Sleet: Oh, sir! Thank you for seeing us, sir! How may we serve Your Royal Greatness? Your wish is our command, sir. You have only to ask, Your Amazingness!
Robotnik: What I want from you is for you to swear to my service.
Sleet: Oh yes, Your Most Powerfulness! We are deeply flattered, but you see, sir, we are independent contractors.
Dingo: Yeah, we're in, erm... in... eh... we work, er, by ourselves.
Robotnik: SILENCE! From now on, you work for me.
Sleet: Oh, but sir, we have other- [Robotnik fires lasers at them] Whoa, ow, ow!
Dingo: Will you stop that! [splutters]
Sleet: Then again, perhaps it is time we made a change.
Robotnik: Excellent. I knew you'd see it my way. [switches on a monitor] This is the Freedom Fighters' secret weapon. It has plagued me for over a year, and I want it found and destroyed! Do you understand?
Dingo: Yes.
Sleet: Yes. Leave it to us, sir. Whatever it is, consider it destroyed!

[Scene changes to Chuck’s house. Oracle is seen rubbing some chili off his hand after Sonic’ spit-take]

Sonic: Sorry about spittin' the chili on you, Orc. Wow, a brother and a sister! But where are they?
Oracle: They are close. But to find them, you must sing the song that is in your heart, young hedgehog. [fades away]
Sonic: Hey, whoa, whoa, wait! What song? How come nobody ever says what they mean? Song in my heart? What does that mean?! [his medallion glows] Whoa, my medallion... [a guitar appears] Huh? [he grabs it and begins playing a song]
["Someday" plays]

[The siblings’ medallions stop glowing]

Manic: What was that?
Sonia: What was that?
Sonic: They're out there!
Sleet: Freeze frame and enlarge. How can anything go that fast?
Dingo: It, er, slows down when it hits that red thing.
Sleet: Well, well, well, once in a while you do come up with something, don't you? Advance to point of contact, extract image and enlarge. Aha! It's not a machine. [He begins analyzing the animal type until it lands on “hedgehog”; literally a back-side view of Sonic]
Robotnik: Hedgehog?! IT'S A BLASTED HEDGEHOG?!
Sleet: Yes, sir. Would you like us to-?
Robotnik: No! Dismissed.
Sleet: But Your Greatness...
Robotnik: DISMISSED! [Sleet and Dingo walk away] Hmm... could it be them? If it is... the prophecy!
Robotnik (hologram): Aahh!
Oracle (hologram): Robotnik, your days of tyranny are numbered!
Robotnik (hologram): Guards! [the Oracle freezes him with magic] Argh!
Oracle (hologram): You will listen. One day, Queen Aleena and her three children will form the Council of Four. On that day, your reign of tyranny will end!
Robotnik: They're still out there! Then I'm declaring war on the Resistance!
Manic: [gasps] I've heard that riff before!
Farrell: Riff? I don't hear any music.
Manic: Meet you back at the hideout.
Farrell: Manic, are you okay, kid?
Manic: I'm cool, Farrell! Later.
Bartleby: Good grief, Sonia! What kind of place have you brought us to?
Sonia: Hush, Bartleby! I know there's a club around here somewhere! And I've heard the music there really rocks!
Bartleby: Simply cannot wait.
Sonia: [gasps] I know that song!
Bartleby: What song? Oh, wonderful. You drag me to the bowels of the city to hear imaginary music. How could it get any better?
Manic: Mind if I sit in, dude?
Sonia: You guys are great!
Bartleby: [gasps]
[The hedgehogs begin playing a short song as the audience watches. Suddenly, an explosion happens and the audience panics as a Swatbot arrives]
Sonia: Who are you guys?
Sonic: We're your brothers!
Sonia: Huh?
Manic: [gasps] We are?
Sonic: I'll get you out of here! Meet me in the public square in two hours. I'll fill ya in!
Robotnik: Monitor 1, repeat footage. Freeze! Bring up Queen Aleena's brats. Execute retinal scan.
Computer: Processing.
Robotnik: Your raids were very efficient, luckily for you.
Computer: Retinal scan completed.
Robotnik: Well...?
Computer: Retinal match confirmed for all three subjects. Probability: 100 percent.
Robotnik: It's them! Cross search against all known citizens.
Computer: One match only. Sonia: ward of Lady Windermere.
Robotnik: Seize the girl, and Lady Windermere, too!
Manic: Farrell! [picks up a shred of cloth] Farrell?
Swatbot: Citizens. You are under arrest.
Sonia: [gasps] [heads to the door] [gasps]
Windermere: Let go of me, you brutes!
Sonia: [gasps]
Windermere: Run, Sonia! Run!
Dingo: Ooh... pretty!
Sonia: Oh no!
Swatbot: Halt, citizen. You are under arrest.
Sonic: And they got my Uncle Chuck!
Sonia: We must find Lady Windermere!
Manic: And Farrell!
Sonic: You're right! Let's do it to it! [the Oracle appears] [gasps]
Oracle: I'm sorry, young hedgehogs. I'm afraid you're too late.
Manic: Farrell!
Sonic: No!
Sonia: It can't be!
Oracle: It is time for you to explore the power of your medallions.
Sonia: I always wondered why I had this.
Manic: Yeah, and why I couldn't bear to take it off!
Oracle: Are you ready to begin the journey?
Sonic: Journey? What journey? We have to fight Robuttnik-
Oracle: And to fight him, you must make this journey of discovery and bonding! You have powers within you!
Manic: We do?
Oracle: Powers which you will need to fulfill your quest. [gives them a map] Follow this map, and remember: you must learn to work with each other. The fate of Mobius is in your hands!
Manic: [gasps]
Sonia: And who was that?
Sonic: We've got a long way to go. Come on. I'll explain on the way.
Sonia: I'm all alone now.
Sonic: Not a chance, sis.
[The credits roll]
