The Synopsis of Sonic the Hedgehog from the live-action Sonic Cinematic Universe.
==History==
===Sonic the Hedgehog (2020)===
====Past====
Sonic was born on an island on the alien planet Mobius where he spent his childhood living under the watchful eye of an anthropomorphic owl named Longclaw. He possessed the rare ability to harness chaos energy which gave him super speed, but also made him a target for those who selfishly wanted the power for themselves. One day, Sonic raced across his island home to bring Longclaw a flower, much to the owl's concern, as she feared he might have been followed. Sonic expressed confidence that he was moving too fast to be seen, but Longclaw notices that echidna tribesmen have surrounded her house and grabs the hedgehog as she takes flight in an attempt to escape. 
Unfortunately, Longclaw is shot down from the sky by an arrow by one of them, so she uses a golden warp ring to open a portal to Earth and tells Sonic that as long as others know about his power, he will always be in danger by those seeking to take it. She then instructs him to take her bag of Gold Rings and head through the portal so he can live safely in a world oblivious to his existence. Sonic can only watch as Longclaw heroically prepares to make a final stand against the approaching echidnas before the portal closes, cutting him off from her, leaving him all alone on Earth.
====Present====
10 years later, Sonic is left alone on Earth to build his new life there in secret, living in a cave and watching the citizens of Green Hills, Montana, USA from afar. None of them knew about Sonic's existence besides an elderly man called Crazy Carl, who claims him to be a blue devil and has tried to catch him several times without success, which Sonic takes enjoyment in. 
Among the citizens of Green Hills, Sonic's favorite people are Green Hills Sheriff Tom Wachowski and his wife, the veterinarian Doctor Maddie Wachowski. One night, Sonic used his super speed to play round of baseball all by himself and realized just how lonely he really was. He tried to run off his frustrations, but ran so fast that he caused an electromagnetic pulse that knocks out power across the Pacific Northwest. This catches the attention of the United States Department of Defense when word reaches their headquarters at the Pentagon in Arlington, and despite some concern from the Joint Chiefs, Vice Chairman of the Joint Chiefs Commander Walters decides to acquire help from the deranged genius Dr. Robotnik in seeking out what caused the power outage.
Sonic immediately becomes distraught as U.S. Army soldiers begin to comb the area near his cave with search dogs and Dr. Robotnik's Badnik drones and reluctantly decides to initiate his backup plan: use a Gold Ring to travel to a seemingly barren planet covered with gigantic mushrooms. Sonic quickly packs the equipment he wants to take, but feels it is not safe to open a portal with the soldiers closing in on his location, especially with their search dogs. He instead races into the Wachowski backyard shed to use a Ring where it is safer, but is discovered by Tom Wachowski, who shoots him in the thigh with a tranquilizer dart after both are startled by the other and scream in horror. As Sonic passes out, he mumbles the location on Tom's shirt, San Francisco, which opens a Warp Ring to the city before he accidentally drops his bag of Rings through it, which land on the roof of the Transamerica Pyramid.
Sonic soon awakens inside the Wachowski household and convinces Tom to help him stay hidden from his pursuers just as Dr. Robotnik arrives at the front door. Tom tries to hoax Dr. Robotnik into leaving as Sonic hides in the attic, but the doctor uses his airborne robot drones to scan the property, forcing the hedgehog to go downstairs to avoid detection. However, when Sonic discovers that Tom was in danger, he reveals himself to Dr. Robotnik to save Wachowski's life. Tom uses this distraction to knock Dr. Robotnik unconscious before Sonic stops a robot drone from shooting them by hopping onto and destroying it.
Although the pair manage to drive out of Greens Hills safely, Tom pulled over to part ways with Sonic, despite the latter having no idea where he must go to reclaim his bag of Rings. He makes a single attempt going to San Francisco on his own using super speed, but is unsuccessful, so he persuades Tom to drive him there. On the way, they stop at a bar where Sonic decides to make a bucket list of all the things he wants to do before leaving Earth. He begins to fulfill his list with Tom's help until they soon get involved in a bar fight that Sonic finishes by rearranging things to his advantage within seconds.
Sonic and Tom stay the night at an inn before continuing their trip the next day. However, Dr. Robotnik hones in on their location and sends a remote-controlled truck to stop them. The truck launches a harpoon into Tom's truck, causing Sonic to get out and attempt to stop the truck. He tries approaching the pursuing vehicle, but loses his footing just as he suddenly builds up energy. Sonic rolls into a ball to protect himself and bowls over the truck on its side. Unfortunately, another vehicle soon emerges from the truck's wreckage to continue the chase. 
This vehicle fires EMP discs to slow the heroes down, but Sonic uses them to get on top of their pursuer and uses one to disable it. The remote-controlled vehicle separates again, only to be spun out by Tom, causing a frustrated Dr. Robotnik to deploy a miniature drone to eliminate them. The drone cuts the roof off Tom's truck with a laser before Sonic manages to grab it. But the drone's eye gets stuck on his hand and triggers a self-destruct mechanism, leaving him with little time to dispose of it. Sonic succeeds in getting rid of the explosive device just in time, but is knocked unconscious when he is blown away by the blast.
Terrified for Sonic's well-being, Tom takes him to Maddie, who is visiting her sister Rachel and niece Jojo at that time in San Francisco. Maddie manages to revive him. While there, Sonic is granted a gift from Jojo in the form of new shoes to replace his worn-out ones. With the new shoes and Maddie joining Tom in helping Sonic out, they travel to the Transamerica Pyramid, where Tom is able to gain access to the roof due to his position as a law enforcement officer, and Sonic recovers his Ring bag. However, before he can leave for the next world and leave Tom, Maddie, and Earth behind, Sonic is confronted once more by Dr. Robotnik, who is now flying an aircraft called the Eggpod and is accompanied by an army of his drones. 
Sonic, in order to save Tom and Maddie's lives, pushes them off the building before using his supersonic speed to take out Dr. Robotnik's drones and also save them. However, using one of Sonic's quills he obtained earlier back at Tom's house, Dr. Robotnik is able to enter supersonic speed himself and nearly ruin Sonic's rescue attempt. Sonic manages to get Tom and Maddie, transported by ring portal, and safely back to Green Hills, before dealing with Dr. Robotnik and the Eggpod, having their chase pass through Paris, the Great Wall of China, and the Great Pyramids of Egypt, before Sonic attempts to escape back to Green Hills, but Dr. Robotnik manages to land a powerful hit just as Sonic is about to enter the portal, causing Sonic to be wounded and left at Dr. Robotnik's mercy as they return to Green Hills.
Dr. Robotnik prepares to take Sonic back to be dissected to learn the secrets of his powers. Tom then tries to protect Sonic by attacking Dr. Robotnik himself but is quickly overpowered. However, the people of Green Hills rally, led by Wade Whipple, to Tom's aid, angry at Dr. Robotnik for attacking their Sheriff and Sonic, and when Tom declares Sonic his friend, Sonic gains a miraculous second wind, and soon begins to glow with that same power that gave away his location previously, but now in full control of it, intending not to run, but to protect his friends, and unleashes his fury on the Eggpod, severely damaging it before Tom opens a portal to the Mushroom Planet Sonic intended to travel to previously, but deciding Earth is his home now, with a final, powerful spin attack, Sonic destroys the Eggpod and sends it and Dr. Robotnik through the portal, never to threaten anyone again.
Sometime later, Tom and Maddie reveal to Sonic that they transferred all his stuff from his cave to their attic, making it up so Sonic can use it as his room and live with them from now on, much to his joy. Commander Walters soon stops by himself to reveal to Tom and Maddie that any and all information about recent events regarding Sonic and Dr. Robotnik has been erased by the authority of the U.S. government, and to keep Tom and Maddie quiet about it, offers them an Olive Garden gift card as thanks. Sonic soon settles into his new life living in Green Hills with Tom and Maddie, now among friends at last, proving that his earlier fears and warning from Longclaw were no longer needed.
===Sonic the Hedgehog 2 (2022)===
Sonic has been living happily with the Wachowskis for some time, but growing restless, he has been sneaking out of the Wachowski house and Green Hills to do some vigilante work. His latest adventure has him stopping an armored car robbery in Seattle, but not without causing some damage in the process and requesting to be called "Blue Justice", and being told he sucks as a hero. When he returns to Green Hills, Tom takes him out on a boat trip and calls him out for being reckless and irresponsible by showing him a newspaper on how he destroyed an entire city block while stopping the robbery (despite Sonic saying that the block was already messed up). Sonic says that he was a hero for stopping the robbery, but Tom tells him that he put people in danger and that's not what heroes do. In response, Sonic tells Tom to stop trying to be his dad, which hurts Tom emotionally. Sonic says that he can take care of himself, but Tom tells him that being a hero isn't about taking care of himself, it's about taking responsibility for other people. Until then, Sonic has to be patient until his moment comes to be a hero. Afterwards, Tom and Maddie are leaving for Hawaii to attend Rachel's wedding there, and Sonic provides them a ring portal to get there and an extra ring for Tom to use to allow them to return home after, leaving Sonic with Ozzie to watch over the house.
However, after Sonic is forced to clean up his mess before Tom sees it when he calls later, Sonic then prepares to watch a movie with Ozzie, only for the power to go out, then the TV and lights start to act strangely. Ozzie senses trouble, and Sonic goes to check the front door, only to be shocked when the doorknob is sliced off, revealing Dr. Robotnik, having returned from his exile on the Mushroom Planet. Sonic tries to attack him upon being provoked by Dr. Robotnik, threatening him and his foster family in Tom, Maddie, and Ozzie, but is met by Knuckles the Echidna, Dr. Robotnik's new ally. Sonic is overpowered by Knuckles, who demands to know the whereabouts of the "ultimate power", mentioning that Longclaw knew about it. 
Before Knuckles can finish Sonic off, Tails arrives and rams Knuckles with a Green Hills Sheriff's Department Ford Crown Victoria Police Interceptor he had commandeered, stunning Knuckles long enough for Sonic to get aboard and flee with Tails. As they escape, Tails reveals that Knuckles is hunting Sonic for the whereabouts of the Master Emerald, which Sonic thought was just a fairy tale, but Tails reveals it is real, and Knuckles believes Sonic has knowledge of where to find it due to being Longclaw's protégé. Knuckles soon catches up and starts to tear the cruiser apart, but Tails drives it off a cliff, resulting in the cruiser's destruction, but Tails airlifts Sonic to safety while Knuckles is left clinging to the cliff face in frustration.
Retreating to Wade's house for refuge, and not telling him about the demise of his squad car, Sonic discovers a final holographic message from Longclaw in his map he escaped to Earth with, which explains everything to him about the Master Emerald, the war between the echidnas and owls for possession of it, and Longclaw entrusting her duty to safeguard it to Sonic. Now feeling this is what his powers were needed for to be a hero, Sonic and Tails depart to Siberia to find the compass that will lead them to the Master Emerald. Arriving at a Siberian tavern full of unfriendly Russian locals, Sonic and Tails try to blend in, but when Tails' Miles Electric accidentally insults the waitress while translating what Tails said from English to Russian, and Sonic makes it worse when what he says to try and calm the crowd down is mistranslated as well, both of them are exposed and are about to be thrown into the fireplace to be burned alive when Tails quickly calls out the Russian phrase for a dance-off. 
Stunned and surprised by Tails saying the dance-off phrase, the patrons spare Sonic and Tails for the moment, but the stakes are very high: Win, and Sonic and Tails are allowed to go free. Lose, and it is the fire for them. It only gets worse when their opponent gets a hold of the map and refuses to relinquish it unless they beat him. With some quick thinking, Sonic and Tails are able to not only defeat their opponent and win, getting the map back, but earn the respect of the patrons as well, who allow them to spend the night in the tavern before heading out in the morning to find the compass once the weather improves.
The next day, they head to the mountain where the temple housing the compass is. After Sonic notices several symbols like on the map from Longclaw and matches them up identical to the ones on the map, the compass is revealed to him and Tails. However, Knuckles and Dr. Robotnik arrive with an armada of Badnik drones, and Sonic is forced to flee with the compass as he is pursued by Knuckles and the Badniks, soon being cornered on a cliff after losing his Rings, unable to open a portal with them now to escape. Confronting Knuckles, Sonic learns that he is the last of his kind after the rest of them went off to hunt Longclaw, but never came back. Sonic admits to being in the same boat after losing Longclaw, and this gives Knuckles pause, until Tails captures him, and Knuckles becomes enraged, thinking Sonic deceived him. Thinking fast, Sonic throws the compass to Tails, but Dr. Robotnik intercepts it, before knocking Tails out with a missile, which also triggers an avalanche. Sonic has no choice but to try and save Tails and outrun the avalanche as Knuckles and Dr. Robotnik retreat with the compass.
Thinking fast, Sonic contacts Tom in Hawaii, who's in the middle of Rachel's wedding being underway, and Sonic's frantic attempts to call Tom disrupt the ceremony, angering Rachel. Once Tom steps away from the wedding to avoid further trouble and learns Sonic is in danger and needs a ring portal now, he's forced to clock Rachel's husband-to-be Randall to get the ring after he got it switched up with one of the wedding rings earlier with Jojo and use it to save Sonic and Tails, causing them to crash the wedding with the avalanche of snow that follows them through the portal. Tom is furious with Sonic afterwards, but Maddie calms him down as she asks Sonic what happened. Sonic barely has a chance to explain things before he is then captured as the wedding guests reveal themselves to be under Commander Walters, the Vice Chairman of the Joint Chiefs, as U.S. federal agents of the Guardian Units of Nations. Sonic, Tails, and Tom are captured and taken into the hotel to await transport, but are later rescued by Maddie and a scorned Rachel. Sonic, feeling responsible for nearly getting Tails killed no thanks to him, heads on alone to stop Knuckles and Dr. Robotnik from getting the Master Emerald, but though he arrives in time to intercept them and protect the Master Emerald, Dr. Robotnik uses the distraction of Sonic and Knuckles fighting to get the Master Emerald first, gaining its power before teleporting away and leaving the collapsing ruins to kill Sonic and Knuckles. Seeing Knuckles trapped under a fallen column, Sonic risks his own life and drowning to free him, and Knuckles returns the favor with saving Sonic from drowning. As they recover, Sonic tells Knuckles the same advice Tom gave him earlier and encourages Knuckles that he can have a better chance in life. As they form a new friendship (along with Knuckles squeezing Sonic's hand, much to his annoyance), the two are then rescued by Tails in the Tornado to return to Green Hills.
They arrive just as Dr. Robotnik has finished the construction of the Giant Eggman Robot, using the Master Emerald to create it from any technology Dr. Robotnik could get his hands on, be it a passing diesel locomotive and its freight train, or even G.U.N.'s own armored vehicles. When their own individual attacks are unable to make any progress against Dr. Robotnik, Sonic, Tails, and Knuckles decide to try a group attack, with Sonic serving as decoy while Tails and Knuckles infiltrate the Giant Eggman Robot to disarm Robotnik of the Master Emerald. Though the plan works and Robotnik is separated from the Master Emerald, Sonic is critically injured, but recovers the Master Emerald before being rescued by Tom and Maddie. However, Dr. Robotnik, putting the Giant Eggman Robot on auxiliary power, stops them from escaping and prepares to crush them underfoot after trapping them in a ring of fire. Sonic tries to get the Master Emerald to help him, but it crumbles in his hands, revealing the seven Chaos Emeralds. Sonic pleads for Tom and Maddie to flee while they still have the chance, but they refuse, reminding Sonic that they are a family. As all three prepare to face their doom, the Chaos Emeralds react and are absorbed by Sonic, moments before Dr. Robotnik brings the Giant Eggman Robot's foot down on them.
For a moment, Dr. Robotnik thinks he has won with killing Sonic and the Wachowskis as Tails and Knuckles look on in shock and horror, but then he finds that Sonic had transformed into Super Sonic (due to Sonic's love for Tom and Maddie) and then confronts Dr. Robotnik, slicing off the head of the Giant Eggman Robot to confront him face-to-face with a look of righteous fury on his face to show just how far Dr. Robotnik pushed Sonic to where Sonic dropped all manner of boasting and taunting and was all business now because Dr. Robotnik threatened his adoptive family. Realizing his disadvantage, Dr. Robotnik tries to offer a truce with Super Sonic, but then tries to attack him when he isn't looking. Super Sonic not only blocks the punches without flinching and breaking eye contact with Dr. Robotnik, but destroys the Giant Eggman Robot's arms, much to Dr. Robotnik's terrified shock, before puncturing it several times and then, with a simple tap of his foot, sends it toppling backwards with Dr. Robotnik still in it, demolishing it once and for all, while still giving Dr. Robotnik the most hateful glare Sonic can show for threatening his family.
Afterwards, as Tom and Maddie rush to check on Sonic, Knuckles holds them back, fearing Sonic has been corrupted by the Chaos Emeralds, but using his newfound powers, Sonic proves to everyone he's still the same Sonic they know and love as he conjures a Chili Dog for himself and one for Knuckles to prove him wrong when it splatters on Knuckles' face. Afterwards, Sonic releases the Chaos Emeralds and sends them to unknown locations, deciding that he still needs some growing up before he can wield their power again, while Knuckles recovers the Master Emerald and restores it. With the war between the Owls and Echidnas over, Sonic offers Knuckles a chance to join him and Tails to form a new group to protect the Master Emerald with, and Knuckles accepts, sealing the deal with a power-bump, forming Team Sonic.
With that, Sonic gains two new allies and friends in Tails and Knuckles, and they all share a game of baseball with each other and the Wachowskis before heading off to get some ice cream, with Sonic momentarily returning to the baseball field to recover the Master Emerald they left behind in the cooler.
Unknown to Sonic, Tails, Knuckles, or the Wachowskis, Commander Walters had been told that, during as G.U.N. erased Dr. Robotnik from their databases, they found a black ops research facility dating back 50 years, which Walters realizes to his dread to be none other than Project Shadow.
===Knuckles===
Believing Knuckles was having a difficult time adjusting to life on Earth, Sonic decides to talk to him about it. He tells him how he also had trouble adapting when he first arrived on Earth, but he eventually grew to think of the planet as his new home. Knuckles responds that he does not consider Earth as his home and only stays because of the pact he made with him and Tails, causing Sonic to suggest that Knuckles do something he enjoys when there are no enemies to fight. However this leads to more problems which gets Knuckles grounded, so Sonic tries to cheer him up by showing him activities he can do around their bedroom.
