Sonic Adventure 4: Black Arms Rising/Script (Chapter 7-8)

This page focuses on the 7th and 8th Chapters of the story for Sonic Adventure 4: Black Arms Rising.
==Chapter 7: Back with a Vengeance==
===Eclipse Cannon===
[The scene takes place from where chapter 6 ended.]
Black Doom: Now to understand how despicable these humans are. They've have the audacity to build a weapon capable of destroying an entire planet. They call it the Eclipse Cannon.
Shadow: Eclipse Cannon...
Eclipse: Is that what you named after me, master?
Black Doom: Not exactly. Anyways, we plan on using their cannon to blow up part of the world. We wouldn't use it to destroy the earth, however. Our goal is to eliminate the humans and turn the world into our image. The security systems in the ARK are extremely high, and we must deal with them, then get inside. It's the perfect way to prepare for the prosperity ritual.
Eclipse: Me and Shadow will eliminate those robot goons. Is that right, Shadow?
Shadow: Right...
[Shadow and Eclipse respectively use flying Black Arms creatures to head to the ARK; the scene fades to black]
===Inside the Control Room===
[Shadow, Black Doom, and Eclipse enter the Eclipse Cannon's control room.]
Shadow: So this is the control panel for the Eclipse Cannon. [A flashback of Shadow inside the room displays in Shadow's mind] Now I understand.
Black Doom: Now to begin our plan. Eclipse, I want you to stay in the room to fire the Eclipse Cannon within an hour. Some Black Arms will guard the ARK so that those humans won't try to stop us. And Shadow, I want you to head down to Central City with the rest of the Black Arms and assist them in attacking the humans.
Shadow: Got it! [Disappears from earth]
===Second Attack on Central City===
[The scene begins with the President inside his office doing paperwork.]
President: Things have been quiet lately after the last attack from the alien invaders...
Secretary: (on phone) Mr. President...there's an emergency!
President: What now?!
Secretary: [on phone] It seems as if our ground forces have been able to contain the Black Arms, but apparently enemy reinforcements are approaching Central City.
President: Again? Why? How can this be? [Stands up from his seat and looks out of the window]
===Rush to Central City===
[The scene opens with Sonic and the heroes entering Blue Ridge Zone. It appears their search for Shadow isn't successful.]
Tails: There's still no sign of Shadow.
Mighty: Something tells me we should call off the search.
Rouge: Maybe I can ask Commander Tower to track down his whereabouts.
Com. Tower: [From communicator] You all hurry to Central City! The Black Arms are approaching there!
Rouge: Guess I don't have to.
Amy: Why are they invading Central City? They already damaged it.
Rouge: Not completely. It appears like they want to finish the job.
Sonic: That ain't gonna happen on our book. Come on!
[The heroes set off to Central City]
===A Message From Black Doom===
[The scene opens in Central City with Black Doom speaking from the ARK.]
Black Doom: [from the ARK] We are the Black Arms! We are back to finish what we started! Try to stop us, and you will DIE!
[The scene switches to Commander Tower listening to Black Doom's message inside G.U.N. H.Q.]
Black Doom: You humans are so pathetic!
Com. Tower: Keep talking, you evil monster, and we'll see who's pathetic!
[The scene switches to the President inside the White House watching the window.]
Black Doom: As of today, this planet is MINE!
The President: You're crazy. We will not surrender to you.
Black Doom: In the next hour, the city will be nothing more than a wasteland of rotting dead humans as we've set the timer for our bombs!
The President: Wh-What?!
Black Doom: You may consider surrendering now, but even if you do, it will be too late!
[Scene fades to black]
===Revenge===
[The scene begins with an army of Black Arms in Central City; then the scene switches to Shadow on top of a skyscraper with Doom's Eye accompanying him.]
Black Doom: Now, Shadow, I think you're starting to understand the nature of humans a little better. Now let me share you another aspect they have. It's hatred and fear for those who possess such power. Even if those powers are used for their benefit, they will ignorantly shun them and desire to turn against them. You were the Ultimate Life Form, but the humans feared you, and wanted to destroy you! And they did.
Shadow: Pathetic humans. I hate them!
Black Doom: Now you must amass revenge against the humans after what they did to you and your loved ones 50 years ago! Unleash your rage and ultimate destruction on them!
Shadow: They will all perish!
Black Doom: Now, go!
[Shadow jumps down the skyscraper to begin his mission.]
===Rush Hour===
[Sonic and the others have arrived to Central City]
Rouge: Commander, we've arrived.
Com. Tower: It took you long enough! There's large group of Black Arms running amok and Shadow is gone with them!
Rouge: What?!
Sonic: Shadow?!
Amy: Why?
Com. Tower: Not only that, I've detected bombs around the city and the sewers that will set to explode in less than an hour. You all need to split into groups of two to expedite time - one for the city and the other for the sewers. My men will hunt down Shadow and the Black Arms.
Cream: This is horrible. Why would Shadow join them?
Rouge: As I said before, I think Black Doom did something to his mind.
Tails: He may be tricked by him.
Espio: Guys, we mustn't focus on him. The bombs must be taken out!
Sonic: You're right, Espio. As what the commander said, let's split into groups. I know there's 12 of us, so we divide it by 6.
Knuckles: I'll take care of the city. I'll take Julie, Vector, Espio, Charmy, and Mighty along with me.
Sonic: Then that leaves it to me, Tails, Amy, Cream, Rouge, and Big for the sewers. Let's rip and good luck!
Knuckles: Alright!
===Blue Falcon===
GUN Soldier: Commander! I've found Shadow! He's destroyed the buildings and bridges.
Com. Tower: Destroy him in sight as ordered!
GUN Soldier: Copy that, commander! Time for me to finish the job! You're gonna get blown to bits, you little black bug!
Shadow: Stupid human. I'll kill you without breaking a sweat!
===Defeating Blue Falcon===
Shadow: That'll teach you.
Black Doom: Shadow, the military is sending their flying armada to stop us! Hurry to the skies and destroy them!
Shadow: Copy that.
===Spotting Shadow===
Vector: Good job, guys!
Julie-Su: And girl!
Vector: Right!
Charmy: I wonder how are the others doing.
Mighty: [Looking at something] Guys! Look!
[The others come to Mighty to find out what is the matter]
Knuckles: What do you see, Mighty?
[The others spot Shadow heading somewhere]
Espio: There's Shadow.
Julie-Su: Where is he going?
Knuckles: Don't know, but we better find out.
===Helping Team Hooligan===
[Sonic and his team have finished disarming the bombs.]
Cream: Look over there!
[The group spot Fang, Bean, and Bark fighting against a group of Black Arms]
Sonic: It's Fang and his boys.
Tails: It looks like they're fighting the Black Arms, too.
Rouge: Let me guess. We help them?
Amy: We have too.
Sonic: Well let's go!
Fang: Keep going, boys!
[The group come to the Hooligan's aid and eliminate the Black Arms]
Sonic: Out of prison again, Fang?
Fang: Who asked for you, hedgehog? We already got it covered!
Rouge: Then that rescue was all for nothing.
Sonic: Time for us to hit it.
Bean: Wait up!
Sonic: Huh?
Bean: That commander told us to help you fight against these monsters.
Tails: Really?
Cream: So you three are doing something good!
Fang: Don't get used to it. It ain't for you punks and the stupid military. It's only to get a lighter sentence.
Sonic: If that's the case, then no funny business, especially from you, ya weasel. Save that when all of the Black Bores are taken care of. Got that?
Fang: You have our word, Sonic. We ain't gonna ambush you or your pals. Right, boys?
Bean: Right!
Bark: [Nods head in agreement]
Sonic: Very well.
Knuckles: [from communicator] Sonic! We've spotted Shadow leaving Central City and we're following him to another district.
Sonic: We'll meet with you guys sooner than later.
[The group, joined by the Hooligans, race off to find Knuckles' team.]
===Leaving the White House===
[The scene takes place inside the President's office. The President is staring at the window.]
Black Doom: [From the A.R.K.] You humans have 30 minutes left until Central City is eradicated!
[Com. Tower and two G.U.N. soldiers enter the President's office.]
Com. Tower: Sir, your transport is ready. We must go now! Sir, please!
President: Once again...I have failed my duty to protect our nation.
Com. Tower: Sir...it's not over! We can continue to fight.
President: We can?
Com. Tower: Yes. The black aliens may have rendered us unable for now, but we will rally, sir! Sonic and the others have successfully disarmed the bombs in Central City, which may have prevented the 1 hour deadline Black Doom has plagued us with. You must keep your nation strong and together.
President: Yes, keep the nation united. No matter what happens, we will never surrender to these creatures! [Looks at photo of Sonic and the others] This much I learned from them.
Com. Tower: Sir, please hurry.
President: Okay. [Walking out of his office]
Commander: [Stares at a picture of Sonic, Tails, Knuckles, Amy, and Rouge] Hmph. Maybe the mobians aren't so bad as I thought.
[Outside, Black Doom and Shadow have spotted the G.U.N. fleet.]
Black Doom: Cowards. Escaping from the demise they rightfully deserve! Shadow, head up there and destroy that airship and the parasites within!
[Shadow stands on top of a Black Hawk to fly up to the G.U.N. fleet. Knuckles and his group spot him.]
Charmy: He's using that bird to fly up!
Knuckles: Drat! We can't get to him like that.
[Sonic and his group (and the Hooligans) meet up with Knuckles' group]
Sonic: What did we miss?
Mighty: Shadow flew up with one of Black Doom's creatures.
Sonic: There's always time to catch up.
Vector: [Noticing the Hooligans] Hey, is that Fang, Bean, and Bark?
Julie-Su: What are these crooks doing with y'all?
Rouge: The Commander ordered them to help us to get them a lighter prison sentence.
Fang: Money would be an appropriate reward for us!
Rouge: Don't get your hopes up, you creep.
Com. Tower: [from the communicator] We got aliens invading our fleet! Head to the fleet immediately!
Sonic: Will do. We'll get to Shadow as well.
===Inside the Main Ship===
[The scene begins with Shadow inside the G.U.N. fleet.]
Black Doom: Now, Shadow, I want you to set this bomb to destroy the main ship.
Shadow: Okay. [Begins to hold his head feeling out of control] Agh!
Black Doom: Stay focused, Shadow. Remember our plan. We can't let the humans and the mobians stop us.
Shadow: As you wish, master.
Black Doom: Now, go!
[The heroes spot Shadow who is beginning his mission.]
Rouge: There's Shadow again!
Sonic: Let's go and have a little talk with him.
Com. Tower: No! You all leave Shadow to my men! You must deal with these aliens fighting my soldiers!
Sonic: Whatever you say!
Rouge: [To herself] I just hope the soldier don't try to hurt him.
===The Fleet Destroyed===
[Shadow finds one of the engines of the fleet.]
Shadow: Time to destroy the fleet.
[The heroes notice that the ship is sinking.]
Tails: Uh oh! This ship is losing altitude!
Knuckles: Shadow must have done this!
Sonic: We better find something to escape with!
[The heroes find an escape ship]
Sonic: Over here!
Com. Tower: We must set this ship in emergency mode, Mr. President!
President: Do what you can as long as we are out of the ship!
[The G.U.N. fleet explodes]
Amy: Here goes another fleet.
Mighty: The Black Arms got us again.
Cream: Are all of the soldiers okay?
Julie-Su: I hope so, kid.
Fang: Who cares?
Knuckles: Hey! You watch it!
Big: What about that time limit thingy?
Sonic: Time limit?
Espio: Black Doom said something about destroying Central City in the next hour, but we averted that by stopping the bombs.
Tails: Did we?
Espio: I guess... Then the aliens came and try to attack the fleet...
Charmy: This is confusing.
Black Doom: [from the ARK] Hahahaha! You imbeciles think destroying the fleet is bad? Wait until the next 5 seconds!
Amy: [Shocked] 5 seconds?!
[The scene fades to black]
===The Eclipse Cannon Fires!===
[The scene opens with Black Doom and Eclipse inside the Eclipse Cannon. Two Chaos Emeralds were installed.]
Black Doom: 3, 2, 1! Eclipse! Now!
Eclipse: Eclipse...Cannon...FIRE! [Presses the the button to activate the Eclipse Cannon]
[Space Colony ARK moves into position over Central City and begins to charge the Eclipse Cannon]
[The Eclipse Cannon fires on Central City. The blast hits the White House in the center. From there, the energy discharges outwards, first blacking out the city before engulfing it in the expanding dome before leaving it as a smoldering, fiery ruin seen even from space as Black Doom laughs evilly.]
Black Doom: Muhahahaha...
[The scene fades to black]
==Chapter 8: Stopping Shadow==
===The Remains of Central City===
News reporter: This just in, unfortunate events concerning the destruction of Central City due to the massive laser beam that shot from above the sky has been making headlines. The laser beam came from the Eclipse Cannon of the Space Colony ARK, the same cannon that shot half of the moon by the infamous Dr. Eggman several months ago. We have confirmed that the firing of the cannon was done by the Black Arms. Fortunately, G.U.N. has already evacuated the citizens during the last hour the bomb threat was issued by the Black Arms. But as far as the state of the world is concerned, Central City is destroyed, and the Black Arms are making their presence felt in a big way.
[The scene switches to Sonic and the others inside a GUN ship.]
Sonic: This just reeks.
Knuckles: Those monsters!
Cream: This is awful.
Tails: Central City is gone.
Amy: Where are the people going to live in since the city is gone?
Fang: [Uncaring] They can all live in a city dump for all I care since they're all filthy useless trash.
[The heroes are enraged by Fang's insensitive comment.]
Tails: What?!
Sonic: Totally uncalled for!
Rouge: Are you serious?!
Knuckles: You got the nerve!
Mighty: That's just cold!
Amy: Do you seriously have no heart?!
Vector: You got some issues, buddy!
Big: That isn't very nice!
Cream: You're mean!
Cheese: [Angrily] Chao!
Bean: Fang! How could you say that?
Fang: Why are you all getting worked up for nothing? You're all being a bunch of wusses. It was a joke.
Julie-Su: You're the joke!
Espio: You're not helping the situation.
Sonic: You know what, Fang, you can just get out of the ship!
Charmy: Yeah! What he said!
Fang: You think I haven't considered it, you idiots?!
Cream: Wait a minute, guys. Maybe Fang should apologize.
Fang: Apologize? Are you kidding me?
Amy: Cream's right! If you want to stay in the ship, you gotta apologize for what you just said.
Fang: There ain't no way I'll apologize to you freaks.
Rouge: Well, I guess I'll just go and contact Commander Tower to have your jail time extended. Not to mention, we'll all throw you out just for good measure.
Fang: You know what, fine! S-sorry for my comment...or whatever.
Mighty: At least he said he was sorry.
Cream: I agree. That's good enough!
Knuckles: Let's just forget about him. Let's talk about how did the Black Arms intrude the ARK.
Sonic: That's one thing I wanna know. Did they invade Central City and then battled the GUN fleet just to keep us out of knowing they're at the ARK, just so they can fire the cannon?
Espio: That is a possible theory.
Julie-Su: That's a underhanded move they sure did.
Tails: Also, thinking about the moon, they didn't use all of the 6 Chaos Emeralds to shoot down earth. Eggman used 6 to destroy half of the moon, but the Black Arms only destroyed a small part of the world. This means they used a minimal amount of Chaos Energy for that to happen.
Knuckles: I guess they have to use at least 2 Chaos Emeralds. But why would they want to destroy part of the world when they really want all of it gone?
Sonic: Guess they want to play games inside our heads.
Com. Tower: [from communicator] We're heading inside GUN HQ very shortly. We have a lot to discuss.
===Invading the Shelter===
[The scene opens with Commander Tower and the President entering the main room of GUN HQ; Sonic and the others enter inside as well]
Com. Tower: Right here, Mr. President.
President: [Sits down on Commander Tower's chair] The aliens gave us the biggest sneak attack this nation has witnessed.
Com. Tower: Indeed. We have no idea those rotten aliens intruded the ARK and used the Eclipse Cannon. As for the state of the citizens, I already evacuated them to the shelter. Thankfully, none were killed in that situation.
President: Very good, commander. It's a shame Central City is destroyed.
Com. Tower: Yes. I swear, I will have the blood of every alien in my hands!
[The siren blares]
Com. Tower: Now what the devil is going on?
GUN Soldier: [Entering the room] Commander! Invaders! I've received a signal indicating an estimate of 1,000 Black Arms entering our headquarters!
President: What?!
Amy: That's too many of them!
GUN Soldier: They're scattered across various parts of the headquarters! One of the groups are setting to find the Chaos Emerald located at the vault! And it's confirmed that Shadow is among them!
President: Shadow? I did not realize he was with the aliens.
Com. Tower: Well he is. He showed himself when he injured my soldiers, destroying the GUN fleet, and now he plans to steal the Chaos Emerald, and I know the next thing he will do will be a lot worse! Attention all command units! Mobilize all Mech battle sections. Prepare all weapons to strike incoming vessels! Mobilize "Diablon."
GUN Soldier: But, sir...It's not ready yet!
Com. Tower: I don't care! We have no other options! We must protect the people of Central City, the Chaos Emeralds, and the world at all costs!
GUN Soldier: Yes, sir!
Com. Tower: Shadow... You demon! I've waited 50 years for this. Guess it's that time I put an end to you, Shadow. By my own hands! [Turns to Sonic and the others] I will go and confront him while you all help my army. This is our last line of defense! And... good luck to all of you mobians.
Sonic: You're warming up a bit, commander. Alright! Let's bring it to the Black Arms!
[Everyone with the exception of the President exit the computer room.]
===The Last Chaos Emerald===
[The scene opens with Shadow inside the GUN Fortress]
Black Doom: The last Chaos Emerald is located far ahead, Shadow. Take it, and then head to the shelter to destroy the humans in there.
Shadow: Understood. Now it's time to put the final nail into humanity's coffin!
===Fighting Diablon===
[The scene starts with Shadow acquiring the Chaos Emerald inside the huge vault.]
Shadow: Found the last Chaos Emerald.
[Diablon, patrolled by Com. Tower, confronts Shadow.]
Com. Tower: It's been 50 years, Shadow!
Shadow: Who are you? And how do you know me?
Com. Towers: I know you, Shadow. You are the Ultimate Life Form. A weapon that the crazy professor should've never created!
Shadow: I don't know what you're talking about, but I don't care. I will destroy you!
Com. Towers: It will be I who will destroy you!
===Diablon Damaged===
[Shadow stands in front of a grounded Diablon.]
Shadow: Now to go to the shelter to destroy those pathetic humans!
Com. Tower: I have to regenerate Diablon!
===Stopping Shadow===
[The heroes are continuing eliminating the Black Arms.]
Com. Tower: [from communicator] Shadow's weakened Diablon! He's getting away with the Chaos Emerald stolen in the vault and he's heading to the shelter with all of the people in it, with an intent on killing them!
Sonic: Leave him to me!
Tails: Huh?
Amy: Sonic?
Knuckles: You kidding me, right?
Sonic: I fought him before. Twice. Plus the people at the shelter need serious saving. It's only a matter of time before he gets there, and that's why I gotta stop him! You guys have to trust me on this.
Commander Tower: Hurry as fast as you can!
Tails: Good luck, Sonic!
Amy: Be careful!
Sonic: You know I always will. Good luck exterminating the aliens!
[Sonic rushes down the hallway]
Sonic: Shadow... I don't know what's going on in your head, but I have to stop you!
===Fighting Shadow===
[Sonic confronts Shadow and Doom's Eye.]
Sonic: Shadow, I can't let you go like this!
Shadow: Get out of my way!
Sonic: No way! I want to know why are you siding with those aliens!
Shadow: I'm giving you a final warning! Get out of my way or I'll destroy you along with these disgusting humans!
Sonic: If you're not gonna answer, then fine by me! We'll fight just like we did before.
Shadow: You've made a big mistake.
[The two begin to clash. Both hedgehogs collide with each other, knocking each other down.]
Sonic: Agh! Evenly matched as always.
Shadow: What is... happening to me...?
Doom's Eye: Gather yourself, Shadow! Destroy the blue hedgehog! Don't let your guard down!
[Sonic notices Doom's Eye glowing, indicating that Black Doom is mind-controlling Shadow.]
Sonic: Wait a second. Black Arm's third eye is controlling Shadow! He was brainwashed after all! Now I know how to save him. Alright, Shadow, it's time I save the people and... you!
Shadow: [Standing up.] Just say when.
===Helping Shadow===
[Sonic manages to defeat Shadow, who is no longer brainwashed.]
Shadow: What happened to me? And why am I here?
Sonic: You were brainwashed by Black Doom's tentacles. He made you commit those crimes.
Shadow: No... I don't understand... I didn't...
Sonic: Don't worry about it. You didn't mean to. You're no longer under his control.
[Out of nowhere, a laser beam shoots Shadow. Diablon is revealed to have fired the laser.]
Com. Tower: Got you!
Sonic: Huh?! Shadow! [Checking on Shadow.]
Com. Tower: Out of my way, Sonic! It's time I do away with this instrument of destruction!
Sonic: You don't understand! He was brainwashed by the Black Arms!
Com. Tower: Don't try to negotiate with me! He's evil and he must be destroyed! [Turns to a struggling Shadow] Now to finish you off for good, you black and red abomination!
[Before Com Tower could fire again, Sonic attacks Diablon.]
Com. Tower: What?!
Sonic: If you want to get Shadow, you'll have to get me first!
Commander Tower: Grr! How dare you defend the enemy!
Sonic: You mean how dare I defend a hero?!
Commander Tower: Idiot! Shadow is no hero! He's a monster created to destroy everything! You and your mobian friends make me sick! I knew seeking your assistance was a grave mistake! Perhaps I should exterminate you and your friends before the Black Arms will!
Sonic: Do you worst, old man!
===Destroying Diablon===
[Sonic stands in front of a permanently damaged Diablon.]
Com. Tower: Diablon's regeneration systems are down... You wretched mobian... You will regret this...!
Sonic: I won't. And I won't be needing this piece of junk anymore! [Throws down communicator and steps on it; Goes to help up Shadow] I'll take you to the others. [Takes Shadow and walks out of the room.]
[The scene fades to black]
