(Few years ago, Sonic and Crash meet together as they face off various villains like Dr. Eggman, Metal Sonic, Dr. Neo Cortex, Metallix, the Deadly Six, the Nocturne Clan, Willie Wumpa Cheeks, Mr. Crumb, Rava the Destroyer and much more enemies like the Badniks throughout the years)
*Aku Aku: *narrate* It is I, Aku Aku! Long ago. Our friends Sonic and Crash met between worlds. We were in the middle of a war on Earth that we needed to collide to fight back the fallen. We formed a team together and our friends to face off one of our biggest enemies in the multiverse and Dr. Eggman and Dr. Neo Cortex is one of them. As the years go by, we continue working together and facing off more enemies in all of our adventures we contribute to, every now and then. It's 2023 and today is the day that we will be celebrating our anniversary of meeting up together. Also it's the bandicoots' birthday. So happy birthday to them. We're suppose to take the Mirage Express to Spagonia as part of our vacation. It all started when we will packing up our bags and getting ready to take the expressway. Here we are. Where our friends are headed to the train.
(In the present day of 2023, Sonic and Crash's gang reunite for a celebration in time for the bandicoots' birthday as they are dressed in vacation clothes and heading off to the Mirage Express)
*Sonic: Hey-o! *hug Crash*
*Crash: Ooh-ah.
*Tails: This vacation is going to be the best of both worlds.
*Knuckles: There's too many bags to carry and I can't carry all of them at once!
*Crunch: Pack like a man. I know you work out every day to gain strength on your muscles.
*Knuckles: Ugh. Why do I have to carry the heavy ones and everyone is carrying the light ones like paperweights? *hold the bags*
*Tawna: You're a big boy now. We got the rolling bags on the way.
*Amy: It's going to be a sweet delightful trip to Spagonia.
*Aku Aku: Summer breeze, cool spring falls and trees singing out of the wazoo. I like it.
*Sonic: *see the Mirage Express on the way* Guys, the train is here.
*Crash: Ooh?
*Aku Aku: If it isn't the Mirage Express, we must take a step at the train now.
*Tails: There it is! We're going in the train now.
*Knuckles: Thank you so I can pack the bags and rest my hands for a bit!
*Coco: The train look elegant as a metro train in the subway.
*Sonic: Time to go in.
(As Sonic and Crash's gang enter the Mirage Express, they are surprised by many of their friends joining in the train for the party)
*Everyone: SURPRISE!
*Sonic: Whoa. How did everyone get in here? Especially the ones from the Wumpa Islands?
*Vector: We wanted to take the train with you. I hope there's a computer in here with free Wi-Fi access.
*Espio: You never stop using computers, too much, Vector.
*Charmy: Let him have his fun.
*Yaya: Happy birthday bandicoots!
*Coco: Yaya Panda, you're here?
*Yaya: Yeah. It's good to hang out together as friends.
*Rilla Roo: *jump around* Hoo hoo hoo.
*Hasty: Were you waiting for a ride at the Bahamas or Hawaii? *laugh*
*Shadow: I wouldn't ramble off stealing a pen from the Mirage Express Gift Shop.
*Rogue: Oh come on Shadow. We're on vacation. We're taking a break from G.U.N. for a while so we can relax on the shores and stop being petty over a weapon.
*E-123 Omega: It is a sunny day in the breeze after all.
*Crunch: Oh man. I am starving. Wish we could have gone to the Bahama Breeze earlier to get some chicken wings at KFC.
*Sonic: We could have used a gift card cetificate at the Olive Garden. But eh. We used all the money on that card more than a gift card at GameStop.
*Pasadena: Howdy boy! You're dressed like a captain of the ship.
*Sonic: I'm born to be a captain, like Crash.
*Crash: He he.
*Ebenezer: Say, aren't you like the Bearminator that shoot robot bears out of his submarine?
*Crash: Ooh?
*Ebenezer: Just messing with you. I never had a person in years that try to betray us and take the heart of our amusement park like *cough* WILLIE WUMPA CHEEKS! *cough* Need to say more?
*Pasadena: Relax Ebenezer. I'm sure we're gonna have a nice trip in Spagonia than eating all the sugar at Gingerbread Joyride.
*Hasty: Who knew eating all the gumdrops could give you a sugar rush. My late friend Fasty used to eat all the licorice until he passed out, only to drink a blueberry soda for a prize.
*Sonic: Ha ha, very funny. Could have use a energy drink on him to boost him up.
*Cream: Amy!
*Amy: Cream! *hug Amy*
*Cream: It's so good to see you.
*Amy: Didn't know you're in the trip to Spagonia.
*Cheese: *hold a token* He he.
*Big: I love my seat smooth and not bumpy as a diner chair, right Froggy?
*Froggy: *make frog sounds* Ribbit, ribbit.
*Sonic: Everyone's on board and we're gonna get this party started.
*Crash: He he.
*Catbat: Rock on, mobians.
*Quokka: *show up* Heya everyone. Great seeing you all. The Conductor would be arriving shortly. I hope everyone is having a good time riding on the Mirage Express.
*Sonic: You too.
*Crash: Ooh.
*Quokka: Oh my gosh. Is that Sonic and Crash. I can't be dreaming that I'm seeing my idols in one day.
*Sonic: You're living the life now.
*Conductor: *show up* Greetings, travelers. I am the Conductor and I will be conducting the Mirage Express for your vacation at Spagonia. It is great to see you all here and enjoying your stay at the Mirage Express.
*Sonic: Always catching on the train.
*Conductor: You must be Sonic. We heard a lot about you. When Eggman took over, I truly feared the worst, but my kids swore you would swoop in eventually. And you did! I can't offer much, other than my sincere gratitude.
*Sonic: Don't swear a thing. I'm glad you and your family are safe.
*Conductor: At least, we got some service from one of our robotic hands to offer. *the robotic hands give everyone some drinks*
*Coco: Ooh wee. Wumpa Whip. Our favorite.
*Crunch: I didn't know the train got Wumpa Whip in it.
*Crash: Ooh. *drink the Wumpa Whip*
*Conductor: As a reminder, I have been a conductor for the Mirage Express cargo train for 32 years.
*Coco: 32 years? That's a long time.
*Crunch: It's like you should have been promoted as manager right now.
*Conductor: I see. Can I have your tickets please. *see everyone holding tickets*
*Sonic: Here's mine.
*Knuckles: Mine's crumbled up like a school paper work.
*Crash: He he.
*Coco: Onward and upward.
*Conductor: *take everyone's tickets* Good. Enjoy the Mirage Express and have a nice day.
*Sonic: You too. Let the party begin! *make everyone cheer*
*Tails: When I was young, people used to make fun of my two tails for being different.
*Coco: You're special and born with it. Also, you're fantastic. No one can tell you otherwise or what to do.
*Tails: I am always the first-man hand for Sonic and built for the gadgets for the team like the Miles Electric.
*Catbat: People say I was too funk to get rocking. Turn out my rocking style prove me to become a rock star and be the ruler of the burgers.
*Pasadena: You're the ruler out there. Show these bats what they got.
*Ebenezer: Ya. Once you shoot them, you'll make good bat stew out of them with beef tacos. *laugh*
*Catbat: I'm the lord of the burgers after all. Add some cheese and pizza if you like.
*Aku Aku: Everyone is being assigned to their roles. I guess some will do chores like being a janitor, running a shop, delievering paperwork or cook the food like a chef.
*Quokka: Are you guys going to roleplay?
*Sonic: We got time to roleplay. Everyone thought, they'll be up for the kind of mystery detective game. *shock everyone*
*Crunch: Iceberg lettuce, what are your motivations?
*Sonic: Uh... meow?
*Catbat: Are you referring to me or him?
*Knuckles: *hit Sonic* That guy!
*Sonic: Come on. It'll intense as I expect. It's not like you're all going to sit on your phones and dazz around into social media like posting a hundred of memes on a post like on Ring Tube.
*Shadow: We don't have the nudget to get into all of these activities, but we have to.
*Rouge: I thought I spilled juice when I was at a grocery store as a kid.
*Tails: Microwave meals can be a warmy as iron pizza, pineapple hot dogs and golden chicken nuggets.
*Tawna: I have another adventure in the coming weeks with Shmathan Trake and I'm so excited!
*Crash: He he. *move around with everyone as the train moves fast* Whoa!
*Tails: Eek! The train is going fast!
*Coco: Why is the train going fast?
*Catbat: I don't know! It's like someone is not doing their jobs right to boost this vehicle up like rockets.
*Aku Aku: Everyone! We're in grave danger! The train is out of control and it's going way fast! Protect yourselves!
*Quokka: Euuhhrrrrhhhhh. I can't hold on any longer! *hold on the seats*
*Tails: It's like a endless runner game, but worse!
*Knuckles: What do we do?
*Conductor: Everyone, hold on! Stay together! The train may get fast, but it's gonna zoom through the end of the line. HOLD ON!
*Everyone: *scream* Aah!
*Sonic: Ah!
*Crash: Whoa!
*Tails: I thought we were going to have the best vacation party ever!
*Coco: We're doomed to the core! *scream*
(After the whole damage of the Mirage Express going fast, Tails and Coco wake up in the storage room by moving various items out of the way and realize what happen after the incident)
*Tails: Man, what happen here?
*Coco: Sound like we stuck ourselves into this room with...
*Quokka: *pop out of the clothes* Uh, hi? Didn't expect to share the same room with you all.
*Tails: Oh, hey. Didn't see you there.
*Amy: What in the world happen here?
*Quokka: I don't know. The train went out of control and zoom us fast, leading to big messes and disasters during the ride to Spagonia. Something seems wrong here and we have to get out of this storage room.
*Tails: We'll get out of here as soon as move these things out of the way. *he and everyone move the things out*
*Amy: Alright. All we need to do is open the door and leave the room.
*Quokka: No wonder how did we end up here during the incident. But okay, we'll take it from here. *chuckles*
(Tails, Coco and Quokka show up in the dining car of the train to reunite with the others after the speed incident, knowing what's going on lately)
*Tails: You guys are okay. We're here.
*Knuckles: We've been talking about you guys. What happen?
*Coco: We were falling off the place and crashed into the storage room.
*Quokka: Is anyone alright on the train?
*Catbat: Yes we are. Someone must have hijacked the train to treat it as some kind of joke for a trick.
*Yaya: That was mean! How dare they speed us up like that?
*Hasty: That is not nice at all. Not even the late Fasty wouldn't like what is going on around the world lately.
*Shadow: Tell us about it. We have been suffering through traumas, tragic events, wars, conflicts, battles, boycotts and even protests since the 2020s. Do you know what happen to common sense nowdays?!
*Crunch: I don't know. You tell us.
*Tawna: It's like our whole ride is cancelled and taking us back where we left off.
*Aku Aku: *spot Sonic and Crash's dead bodies* Also, what is this?!
*Coco: Ah! They killed Sonic and Crash! It can't be right!
*Tails: How could this happen?
*Aku Aku: This is unacceptable. How could they die in a time like this on one of our best days ever?
*Crunch: Damn sucker, you're crazy.
*Aku Aku: That is not the reason why.
*Vector: What the hell is going on here?
*Espio: I had no idea.
*Charmy: This is not good to hear.
*Tawna: Is it true that Crash Bandicoot is dead? Please don't tell me Crash is dead. It wasn't Cortex shooting him when the lights went out a bit.
*Amy: My baby. Who did this?!
*Knuckles: It wasn't me.
*Shadow: Me neither. I should have been to Tennesese right now if it weren't for the case.
*Rogue: What could be the case for the deaths of Sonic and Crash?
*E-123 Omega: I don't know. You tell me.
*Catbat: Ask the guy whoever in charge of the train.
*Quokka: No no no. I didn't do anything. I swear.
*Pasadena: How can we believe you if you work on the train and know all these years when people fall into some deadly traps like these?
*Ebenezer: You, should be ashamed of yourself! Shame on you!
*Rilla Roo: Boo!
*Quokka: Calm down. I didn't do anything. What did I do? I was hiding under the chair.
*E-123 Omega: Something lies within the whole mystery murder.
*Coco: Then who is behind this tragic event? Anyone? *see the Conductor* Oh, you're here.
*Conductor: Hello everyone. There have been a misunderstanding on the Mirage Express. Our friends are lost and someone must have been behind the murder.
*Tawna: So someone must have murdered them when we were riding on this thing. Should have been a trap all along like a booby trap.
*Crunch: You mean a booty trap? *chuckles and get hit by Tawna* Hey!
*Aku Aku: We must look around in the train for clues. Who have killed Sonic and Crash behind the murder?
*Tails: We'll search and investigate everyone on who has done it.
*Coco: It's not someone has been very sneaky to do all of this and one person can be innocent.
*Knuckles: We'll scratter around to look for clues. Come on.
*Catbat: We'll find some answers to the mystery.
*Ebenezer: We'll be back after the whole mystery quest.
*Conductor: Good luck you guys. You are our only hope.
*Tawna: Man, I can't stand here, thinking about Crash when he's murdered by some maniac.
*Crunch: Don't worry. The Ancients would not like this at all, not even when the Evil Twins show up during the time of Twinsanity.
*Tawna: We hope we figure everything that lead to their deaths.
*Aku Aku: And this just in, the whole mystery solving quest begins.
(Tails and Coco's gang look around in the saloon car as they search for clues in the train with some damage items on the floor and wall and investigate in the room)
*Tails: Look at the mess they done.
*Coco: Everything seem to be damaged.
*Knuckles: *see a damage Super Monkey Ball machine* Even this arcade machine is smashed. No one even play it to this day.
*Shadow: *see a cracked phone with a Hearthstone game and a Dr. Boom card on the screen* Heh. Does anyone still play these games?
*Catbat: *see a cracked glass on the floor* Cracked glass. Someone must have drop it and break it while the train move quickly.
*Pasadena: One of the glasses have lipstick in it!
*Rouge: *hold a lipstick* It's my lipstick and I use it for make-up.
*Shadow: Heh, one of the arcade machines scoreboards is named "ULTIM". And you know what? I am the Ultimate Lifeform!
*Rouge: We know you are the Ultimate Lifeform. So you don't need to say it out loud.
*Shadow: Duh.
*E-123 Omega: I spot a key underneath a table.
*Crunch: *found a key* Got it.
*Tawna: Could someone lock up a room that lead to secrets and murders all over the train?
*Crunch: You never know what happen, eh.
*Tails: Let's look around in the library room. come om.
*Coco: I hope there's more secrets around that train.
(Tails and Coco's gang look around the library car as they look around many books as some were flipped out and ripped up during te speed incident)
*Tails: Anyone up reading a book?
*Amy: Uh, we got a case to discover.
*Coco: We can't do two things at the same time.
*Shadow: *spot the brochure stand* What's this? *hold a Mirage Express Manual book* A Mirage Express manual book?
*E-123 Omega: What are you reading?
*Shadow: I'm looking!
*Quokka: What was going on in the room lately? Some kind of misunderstanding?
*Aku Aku: Or they misheard what they did wrong?
*Coco: Hmm, let me see who murder my brother and Sonic on the train? *point at Yaya* Was it you?
*Yaya: What? No! I was too busy reading out of boredom.
*Coco; How do you know?
*Yaya: Well, when I was reading, I placed the book back in the incorrect place and realize it was not in the right place.
*Hasty: I'm too immersed to notice what is happening.
*Rilla Roo: Ooh?
*Vector: Can't find any computers that prove the innocence.
*Espio: Who are you asking.
*Charmy: How do you know?
*Knuckles: Maybe the casino car can help out.
*Catbat: You wanna know what lead to the tragic fate?
*Crunch: We got no time to explain, come on.
(Tails and Coco's gang explore the casino car by searching through many games and found a treasure hidden on the train)
*Tails: Finder keepers everyone. You know what you all have to do.
*Knuckles: Look for clues.
*Coco: Whoa. Am I seeing a Fabergé Chao Egg here?
*Crunch: Open it.
*Coco: *open the egg and reveal a gem* What?
*Tawna: That's it? That was the mystery?
*Chao Guard: Mmm!
*Amy: Eek! The security guard is here!
*Cheese: Uh oh.
*Cream: What are we gonna do?
*Big: I don't know. Hey you! Stop that! *get tasered by a Chao Guard* Oof, at least I tried.
*Froggy: Ribbit ribbit.
*Catbat: *see some mechanical arms* What the?
*Hasty: Hold on! They're in the way!
*Shadow: WHy are they picking on us?
*Rouge: They wanna tease us for a reason!
*Big: Fight the hands! *fight the mechanical arms*
*Coco: Uh... *spot a button and press the button to deactivate the mechanical arms*
*Big: Shoot. That was a snoozefest.
*Quokka: Speaking of which, the owners of the egg must have kept the secret until our friends' deaths.
*Knuckles: No wonder why the secret isn't accurate and what lead them to be killed.
*Tails: That's pretty sad.
*Coco: Next room. Here we come.
*Chao Guard: *confuse* Mmm?
(Tails and Coco's gang look around the lounge car as they search through the locker doors and find out what is happening)
*Crunch: Jesus, all the doors are locked.
*Tawna: They're locker doors. It's not like we're in a gym where we can place our clothes in the locker before we work out.
*Catbat: Okay. Now who is behind locking all the doors?
*Shadow: It was me. *shock everyone*
*Tails: Shadow, why would you lock all the doors during a mystery?
*Shadow: I wanted to make sure that the "hot tip" is safe so I can have a "appointment" soon.
*Rouge: You could have elaborate before you can lock everything.
*Shadow: I don't care. it's not my business.
*E-123 Omega: The library have lockers too for books, for your information.
*Quokka: I've gave everyone keys and all you did just lock them. Just why?
*Yaya: I was distracted reading a book.
*Amy: Me too.
*Pasadena: What is going on with you two?
*Ebenezer: How can I trust you with a lie on your hands?
*Knuckles: Don't even think about it, cyborg.
*Ebenezer: Ho, heigh. You wouldn't hit a army cyborg, do you?
*Knuckles: Not even a red plumber can warp pipes and a purple dragon spitting fireballs to shoot orcs that were turned from gems.
*Coco: Did you murder Sonic and Crash while locking the doors, Shadow?
*Shadow: No! Not even on a wild goose chase!
*Rouge: How can I trust you from all the murdering?
*Shadow: Don't even ask why.
*E-123 Omega: We can believe in you.
*Yaya: I don't believe you.
*Catbat: What source of information do you have to say for yourselves?
*Ebenezer: You always mad. Like a angry grandpa!
*Shadow: I was invited for a Crush 40 concert in much of a chagrin. But always. I'm bummed! The Conductors Car say it all. *shock everyone*
*Tails: You know.
*Coco: Wumpa fruits! If we're going to the Conductors Car, does this mean we'll find out the secret that the Conductor was the murder all along?! *shock everyone*
*Quokka: Not my boss! I don't want some bad news to happen in my ears ever again!
*Coco: No whining. We can finish this mystery out.
*Tails: Eek! Who knew this fella's boss could be the murder.
*Shadow: Oh, it's a cool crime now. Someone is commited to the life of crime of killing our friends.
*Rouge: This train always find out on certain allegations like Baskin-Robbins. *laugh*
*E-123 Omega: Don't laugh.
*Hasty: Baskin-Robbins don't play bro. *laugh* Tell that to Cold Stone as well.
*Amy: *found the master key* The master key!
*Tails: This could lead to the next room.
*Shadow: Go to the next room now to find out!
*Amy: Follow me so we can finish this mystery up!
(Tails and Coco's gang explore the Conductor Car as they notice the car is oddly empty and the conductor is missing)
*Tails: What the? Where is the conductor?
*Knuckles: He was suppose to be here, controlling the train.
*Shadow: Well that's weird. He was suppose to be in this room.
*Pasadena: It's like no one is inside right now.
*Hasty: Who is the prime subject behind all of this mystery tragedy?
*Tails: If I want to know. Someone could have done everything that shouldn't be done on our special day. Catbat?!
*Catbat: Whoa, me? You're pointing at me?
*Coco: Due to your rocky attitude, tell us so you can tell them the truth.
*Tails: What did you do to Sonic and Crash?
*Catbat: Okay. The mechaicnal hands gave me a option to use a dart and play at Sonic and Crash. I knocked them by accident and lead them to their deaths like a target smash. I'm sorry. I'm sorry about the friends. *shock everyone*
*Coco: I know you would have murder Sonic and Crash if it was you.
*Crunch: Catbat is the murderer!
*Tawna: MURDERER!
*Catbat: Hold it! I've done nothing wrong to do all of this.
*Pasadena: Why would you kill Sonic and Crash?
*Ebenezer: I'm gonna kill you and make you bat stew you doofy poofy rocky bat cat.
*Shadow: And I thought I was the killer.
*Rouge: We checked everywhere. The library, the casion, the whole place!
*Big: Uh oh. That's not good news to me.
*Froggy: Eh?
*Vector: You ruined everything!
*Espio: Everyone thought it was me who threw the blow-dart at the hedgehog and bandicoot.
*Charmy: This Catbat is convinced for everything they have done.
*Catbat: I should have never done anything if it weren't for my own crimes. You all should be ashamed for yourselves. Shame on you all!
*Aku Aku: How can we trust you if you were behind the murder mystery?
*Catbat: It was all a joke, I swear.
*Coco: It ain't a joke, huh?
*Crunch: Why can't it be a stage play all along without a real crime in style of a movie set murder mystery of a publicy stunt?! *see Sonic and Crash* Uh?
*Crash: Ooh.
*Sonic: H-hey guys. What happen?
*Amy: Guys, you're okay!
*Catbat: I knew it was a joke for all one mind set of a trick.
*Ebenezer: We're sorry for everything, Catbat.
*Quokka: Good grief, we were all wrong.
*Tails: At least, we solved the mystery!
*Knuckles: Catbat is the murderer.
*Catbat: Dude. It was a nasty poison dart. They slept and couldn't have leave them here.
*Sonic: It's great to be back in action after a whole long mystery game.
*Crash: He he.
*Tails: It's good to see you guys again after a whole stunt messing with the program game.
*Amy: Everyone thought you guys were dead. But that was all a myth.
*Tawna: I guess the whole mystery is a stunt and a game?
*Crunch: We were all playing along! *laugh*
*Catbat: Eh. Now I'm innocent on the inside.
*Yaya: You never seen speed my mine!
*Aku Aku: Also guys, what do you guys got to say for yourselves?
*Crash: Ooh?
*Sonic: Oh, the Mirage Express isn't a real train. It's a badnik. *shock everyone*
*Crunch: Now you're telling the whole train is a murderer?! WHAT ABOUT THE CHILDREN?! *cries*
*Catbat: I've seen worse things than bus crashes and plane crashes in recent years.
*Amy: The train is a badnik, controlled by Eggman?!
*Sonic: I should have warned you all. We were going to have the features what the train will have, but we were tricked. I had a bad feeling about the power source. But the conductor hadn't even seen it yet. When we look, we realized the train's powered by a flicky.
*Hasty: Oh heck no!
*Cream: How can a flicky control the entire train by a ride of a badnik?
*Tails: There's only one person twisted enough to use a flicky as a power source in the name of Dr. Eggman.
*Aku Aku: Then I bet Dr. Neo Cortex was acting as a consultant for him, knowing that they were going to put us a good trap to lead into our fates.
*Sonic: We told the conductor the train needed to be destroyed... he refused. The way the conductor was describing it, it's more than a simple badnik. It's the conductor's friend. The train is his co-conductor.
*Coco: You're not serious.
*Quokka: I don't know what I say on my interview.
*Sonic: When we were hit, we thought it wasn't a pinch as what the dart promised.
*Catbat: And you all ccuse me for it when I left and the room turn red to go against us.
*Sonic: We punch, kick and manage to grab us when the conductor screamed at our faces.
*Crash: Whoa!
*Catbat: I have something to admitted. This is why I murder them by accident.
*Coco: We know that!
*Catbat: It was all a game! I throw the dart at them and this is how all mystery games work! The intructions said it best. *show the intorcitons to everyone as seen from the original Murder of Sonic the Hedgehog game*
*Tails: How you know you throw the dart at them?
*Catbat: They wanted them out of the pickture. First it got them, now the train is after us.
*Amy: The whole train gonna be tampering us!
*Tawna: Show yourself train! You know what you did to our friends just to get them murder! *see the Conductor on the rope*
*Conductor: Ah! What have they done to me?
*Mirage Express: You couldn't all live out with your lives. Didn't you. I'm taking you all to the army of Eggman and Cortex and all of your lives will burn!
*Catbat: The train is talking!
*Crunch: Now where does the train want us to go.
*Quokka: We're in so much dead meat.
*Mirage Express: I am speeding up to get us out of the rails! *speed up the train*
*Crunch: The train is moving again!
*Tawna: Not this speed run again.
*Catbat: It's messing with the system!
*Yaya: And I thought I drop out my wallet!
*Rilla Roo: Hoo!
*Big: What's happening?!
*Amy: Check what's going on?!
*Sonic: Me and Crash will go take down this train and figure out the true! *he and Crash run through the train*
*Quokka: Wait up! Ugh, I always get left out behind. *follow Sonic and Crash*
(Sonic, Crash and Quokka run all over the train to search around in the rooms to investigate on certain items prior to the fight)
*Sonic: There's a whole mess and the Badnik could have done something to zoom us over to our murder.
*Crash: Ooh?
*Quokka: Am I a fault here for ruining the exerpeice to you all. *see Eggman and Cortex's holograms*
*Eggman: Ho ho ho! We caught you all!
*Cortex: By the wrath of Eggman and Cortex, you have sealed your fate!
*Sonic: Eggman and Cortex!
*Crash: Grr!
*Quokka: What do these guys want?!
*Eggman: Seem you have finally taken passage of my passengers. The infrastructures in your towns wasn't cutting it if we were going to rebuild the world in our own images.
*Cortex: We got courageously invovled. We cargo some trains together to put apart for the sake of the public.
*Sonic: Let's cut to the chase. You all wanted us dead, didn't you?
*Crash: Grr.
*Cortex: Slience! Our Badniks known for a lxury train that can kidnap your friends and never see them again.
*Eggman: We insitituve a army of Badniks to get the train going for a reward. Maybe for a autograph for a ID card.
*Quokka: You shouldn't have done this when the train was in motivation.
*Sonic: I'm going to knock you both out for this for ruining our vacation.
*Crash: Grr.
*Eggman: So long, pesky morons. You'll never catch us to the end of the road.
*Cortex: You shouldn't have crossed the line when you needed to and about to break through our machines. *evil laugh as he and Eggman disappear through holograms*
*Quokka: They disappear on us!
*Crash: Uh?
*Sonic: We have to get them.
*Quokka: But how are we going to get them?
*Sonic: You know when the quest isn't done, we have to get it right.
*Quokka: But how are we going to get pass through the train.
*Sonic: I'm always the leap before you think kind of guy here. You never give up when the trouble is reaching through a point. We'll stop the trouble and save the day. You know what I mean?
*Crash: Ooh.
*Sonic: We'll keep moving forward and get things right before the train head to Eggman's base.
*Quokka: We'll save our friends in no time and get it done.
*Crash: Woo!
*Sonic: Better hold on to your pants, cause here come the boom! *break through all the robotic hands* Perfect timing. Let's go! *he and everyone run*
*Crash: Wee!
*Quokka: Gotta go fast!
(Sonic, Crash and Quokka run through the tran as they knock the robotic hands down as well kicking, spinning and punching through the hands. Sonic spin dash through the hands as Crash throw the boxes to break the hands and the Quokka throw sccrios to cut the wires of the robotic hands. Sonic and Crash's friends show up by breaking into the doors and destroy all the hands while recuing the Conductor on the way to Sonic, Crash and Quokka knocking down all the robotic hands in the train until the last room.)
*Tails: We're here!
*Amy: What's going on?
*Coco: They're fighting off these robotic hands connected within the train.
*Conductor: The train is cursed with traps and know what Eggman and Cortex want from us.
*Catbat: I wouldn't ramble for a decade being trapped by one of Cortex's cages for experiments.
*Aku Aku: Never again if you may. *laser at all the robotic hands*
*Sonic: Hey! You're here at last.
*Crash: Woo hoo.
*Quokka: Bet these robotic hands are better off finding some new jobs if it weren't for the train's strict actions.
*Pasadena: It's good that you're all safe in here. Did Eggman and Cortex show up in the middle of nowhere?
*Sonic: I know they're in the train somewhere as holograms.
*Crunch: Holograms? Like what Oxide and Velo always uses when announcing Grand Prix races?
*Sonic: Kind of. Come on, let's go.
*Conductor: To my room!
(Sonic and Crash's gang head over to the Conductor Room as they watch the screen to confront Eggman and Cortex in the room)
*Sonic: Alright. Where did the Eggheads go?
*Crash: *spot Eggman and Cortex* On the screen* Ah!
*Aku Aku: It's Dr. Eggman and Neo Cortex.
*Eggman: Ho ho ho ho ho! You all made it to the end. How dare you break all through our robotic hands, leading to fight us through cyberbullying?
*Cortex: How did they get here so fast? We thought we dispose the engines to start plans for a new Death Egg.
*Shadow: Don't turn us into robots or send us to the future you bum heads!
*Hasty: Too much sweets is bad for you and you should be ashamed for your actions.
*Eggman: I will turn you all into robots and use them as toys for Sage and Nina to play with. *laugh*
*Cortex: These mammals have no choice, but to fail for their actions!
*Eggman: I consider selling all these toys to that fat bear Moneybags to the Dragon Realms. But eh, it's all going to the dump where the mud smell like stink!
*Cortex: How about I use them as mutants like the Scorporilla, how about that?
*Eggman: You know about this?
*Cortex: Yes. Let the train do all the talking! *summon the robotic hands*
*Conductor: Oh sugar coated boogers. This is turning into one bad work day.
*Mirage Express: Your days are over, guests. No one is leaving without a real murder crime on the loose! You will not leave until the fight is over.
*Crunch: Dude, why do you always have to mess with our lives when today was suppose to be the best day of our lives!?
*Mirage Express: You got nowhere to run now! This is my train! Not yours! Go get your own!
*Sonic: Say the one who's gonna take us to the Death Egg?
*Mirage Express: Make my wish come true so they will never fight. *fight the people*
*Quokka: Here we go again. *fight the robotic hands*
*E-123 Omega: *shoot at the robotic hands* I got it covered.
*Catbat: *break the robotic hands* You snooze, you lose.
*Yaya: No gain, no pain, no weight! *break a robotic hand*
*Vector: *take off a robotic hand* Not a computer! *smash a robotic hand*
*Espio: *throw the razors at the robotic hands* Eat some razors!
*Charmy: Go away! *bump at the robotic hands*
*Conductor: You, leave my train alone! You little controller.
*Mirage Express: You will not divide me and the trapped guests.
*Conductor: It's now or never, you leave my people behind and my co-worker.
*Quokka: That's right!
*Mirage Express: How dare you disobey me like that. You will seize the end of your fates!
*Shadow: Tell that to the lore card! *shoot at the screen*
*Rouge: Shadow, you shot the screen.
*Shadow: Damn it. I should have gone after the hands.
*Eggman: *voice* Hello? Is this on? Hello?
*Cortex: *voice* Surrender to us on the base! *evil laugh*
*Sonic: Not today. *curl as a ball to bounce at all the robotic hands*
*Crash: Wee! *spin at all the robotic hands*
*Mirage Express: No! No! Not the hands! *overheat*
*Tawna: Time to pay for ruining our birthdays!
*Catbat: Get the Flicky and get out of here!
*Hasty: *break the cage and free a Flicky* Come on little bird. We're taking you out of the danger zone.
*Pasadena: Train's gonna crash, let's go!
*Ebenezer: Out of the way, please!
*Amy: That's for ruining our special days!
*Conductor: Go go go!
*Sonic: When I say jump, you say jump. Everyone.
*Everyone: Jump! *everyone jump out of the train*
(Sonic and Crash's gang jump off the Mirage Express as the train crashes through the rails with everyone at the train station, knowing that they have arrive at Spagonia)
*Sonic: Shoot! We made it out of here.
*Crash: Woo-wee!
*Crunch: Boy that was a snoozer, we should have teleported with the Chaos Emeralds than throwing a ring to warp to places like Havana. *laugh*
*Tawna: Next birthday, we'll go to Vanilla's house to make dinner or go to Hong Kong to eat Chinese food for a kimono show.
*Coco: Glad everyone is safe on the quest.
*Quokka: That murder mystery is solved, pranked and wrapped up for the day.
*Conductor: Hope everyone have watched their steps before the fall.
*Mirage Express: Why... have... you... defeated... my... thing...?
*Conductor: Train, I..
*Mirage Express: Goodbye. You will not be missed. *shut down*
*Conductor: I'm sorry.
*Big: What's wrong man?
*Conductor: I'm sorry everyone that I took you all to the most dangerous train we could have never ride on. I didn't know the train was construced by evil when we realize Eggman and that yellow square man was behind all of this conflict by the hands of a murder culprit.
*Catbat: Eh, we were only playing a murder mystery to play a prank on you, knowing that your friends are not dead.
*Sonic: Glad we are living like the rest of the Smashers in the omniverse.
*Crash: He he.
*Aku Aku: If it weren't for the train, we would have been dead like rodents like rats and cockroaches.
*Conductor: Oh well, here we are to Spagonia. I knew we could make it there for the trip.
*Shadow: I guess we're going to a real vacation trip right now without a prank.
*Rouge: We should have stay back at G.U.N. while going on vacation with them.
*E-123 Omega: Can't do two things at the same time.
*Vector: We lost the computers, but we still have technology on our bags.
*Espio: You been staring at the screens too much, didn't you?
*Charmy: Let him use a smartphone.
*Conductor: It's all clear now like erasers. We don't have to worry about riding a brainwashed train any time. *see his wife* Huh?
*Conductor's wife: Baby! You're still alive! *hug her husband*
*Conductor: Sweetheart, you found me.
*Conductor's wife: I knew you were going to be there for me.
*Conductor: Fahahaha, you'd honestly never believe what happened! So I won't even try! *laugh*
*Conductor's wife: So glad you're here so we can go to Spagonia for a celebration.
*Conductor: I'll pack faster than the wind! I need this vacation terribly.
*Quokka: When you did what you did, you got what you deserved and pass the fear by going into the good luck.
*Conductor's wife: Happy first day of retirement, dear!
*Conductor: I always wanted to retire. And I did it like resigning off from work. My ordeal here is done.
*Amy: Aw, look at them.
*Knuckles: They're so cute.
*Catbat: I all apologize for the murder situation over a detective game. We know all the clues solving and mystery solving is making us wanna go to sleep.
*Amy: It's okay. I know you were pulling a prank on us.
*Yaya: Never more could say something better or worse.
*Catbat: The bullies back at the music festival picked on me for looking like a goth. But I know how to lay a finger on them by pulling a prank on a murder mystery.
*Crunch: So you were teased by the band members and pranked them for a murder mystery solving case, didn't you.
*Catbat: We were punk stars and punk stars pull pranks on people!
*Hasty: Sound like a funny satire. *laugh* Don't take it too seriously if you're watching a show.
*Amy: Aw. The train destroyed all the groceries and food there and we couldn't have afford all the gifts we could get before the crash.
*Sonic: It's okay Amy. We lose a lot of things sometimes during falls. You're just confident, unshakable and radiant to prove how courage you can be to become a brave person.
*Amy: We're all brave, like Crash.
*Coco: And Shmathan Trake!
*Crunch: So does Nathan Drake from Uncharted. *laugh*
*Sonic: Alright. Now where were we?
*Tails: Let's go to Spagonia where our friends are throwing us a party for our friends.
*Knuckles: This is our destiny. The party has found a place to give us the X mark on the map!
*Coco: We've finally made it, let's go.
*Aku Aku: Ooga booga!
(Sonic and Crash's gang arrive at the park of Spagonia as they encounter more friends on the way with a surprise and a big birthday cake at the table)
*Everyone: Surprise!
*Sonic: Wow. Everyone is here.
*Coco: The adventure of a birthday every year.
*Vector: Yo! It's you guys!
*Espio: The big dawgs.
*Charmy: Hi!
*Papu Papu: Papu Papu says "Welcome to the party!" *chant with his tribe*
*Ami: Look, it's Tawna!
*Tawna: Heya ladies.
*Liz: You're okay. What happen?
*Tawna: We were almos murdered by a lovely train. But we snuck out of it.
*Isabella: You're a cool one girl.
*Megumi: You are talented.
*Tangle: Glad our friends have showed up on time.
*Whisper: You were late. What happen?
*Sonic: Long story. Eggman and Cortex were trying to ruin our birthday day for everybody. But glad we defeated them by the use of a train.
*Conductor: I used to work on that train, but glad I retire before we were killed.
*Conductor's wife: You are always free to retire.
*Quokka: I'm better off finding a new job now around Mobius.
*Jewel: Glad you could all make it in the park without a delay.
*Silver: Always staying in touch.
*Blaze: You guys are the best.
*Pasadena: *see the Viscount* Oh, someone is here to make an announcement.
*Viscount: Hello my friends. It is I, The Viscount! Someone must be celebrating a birthday today, huh?
*Sonic: It gotta be them.
*Tails: The whole team is in the house.
*Viscount: Perhaps, who is celebrating a birthday for whom?
*Crunch: Us, the bandicoots.
*Crash: He he.
*Aku Aku: It is them.
*Viscount: Ah hoy! Let's go throw a party and celebrate! *make everyone cheer*
*Tails: The party of a lifetime.
*Knuckles: Two time party savers.
*Cream: Adventurous and courage.
*Amy: Always know when to show up on time.
*Big: We were happy and Froggy too.
*Froggy: Ribbit.
*Cheese: *spin* Eee.
*Pasadena: To an adventure of a birthday.
*Ebenezer: A memorable party every year! *laugh*
*Rilla Roo: *jump around* Hoo hoo hoo hoo!
*Yaya: A fun birthday like no other!
*Hasty: Were you waiting for a slice a cake? *laugh*
*Catbat: A ride from start to finish.
*Shadow: May our friendship grow stronger each celebration.
*Rouge: Living the life of a lifetime.
*Espio: In haiku mode, I admire your tenacity, may you never lose your vivacity. Happy birthday to the bandicoots with their funny sparkling personacity.
*Crash: He he.
*Coco: We rock the world.
*Crunch: Hail to the chiefs like the presidents of the world!
*Tawna: And mayors, governors and prime ministers if that count.
*Catbat: Let the red robot do the honors.
*E-123 Omega: Affirmative. *shoot fireworks everywhere*
*Sonic: Oh boy. The fireworks blasting make me wanna eat a chili dog right now for lunch.
*Quokka: Happy birthday you guys. You know, I'm not smart enough to know if personacity is a word.
*Conductor: We love you guys, happy birthday!
*Conductor's wife: We wouldn't trade these adventures for anything! Never in a million years!
*Crunch: And I'll be dead when the robots and AI technologies start taking over the world.
*Aku Aku: Thank you for your kind words. Really appreciate.
*Sonic: You guys are not leaving, right?
*Coco: No. We're staying here. Why?
*Sonic: Uh... it's a hard question to ask. But never mind.
*Amy: Wouldn't dream of it if I were you. *giggle*
*Vector: This just in, it's time for cake!
*Viscount: One slice at a time!
*Crunch: Dig in like moles.
*Big: And let's get stuffed into these bad boys.
*Sonic: *he and everyone cut the cake and give them slices on the tables* It's now time for a party celebration with a cake!
*Everyone: *cheer* Yay!
*Shadow: I hope it's chocolate.
*Rouge: It is.
*Shadow: Great. Thanks for spoiling, Rouge. It should have been chocolate fudge at first.
*Rouge: Eh, it's just a food. Not meant to ruin the surprise.
*Silver: Man, it got vanilla frosting on top of the pound cake.
*Blaze: Really does help it like sprinkles.
*Knuckles: I am having the fun! It got grapes in it.
*Hasty: *take a Flicky to the Chao herd* Enjoy eating some apples with your new friends*
*Cheese: *he and everyone including a Flicky make friends by eating some apples* He he.
*Chao Guard: Mmm. *eat a cake*
*Coco: Cake is the best and delicious like pancakes.
*Crash: Pancakes!
*Sonic: I could be down for a French toast, or a waffle. *laugh with everyone*
*Quokka: You really made my day special today, Sonic. By the way, we didn't really get to really introduce to ourselves earlier. The name's Barry.
*Sonic: Barry? The Quokka?
*Barry: It should be my real name. But thanks for the experience at the Mirage Express. You really made my day special after meeting up with famous people like you.
*Sonic: I am happy to have you here, Barry. And you're a number one employee turned hero everyone at Mobius and Earth should be talking about.
*Barry: Everyone say it best.
*Sonic: You're too fast and cool.
*Barry: It's the best of both worlds!
*Sonic: First bump! *first bump at Barry*
*Barry: Just like that. *chuckles*
(As Sonic and Crash's gang celebrate at the park in Spagonia, meanwhile at the Death Egg, Eggman and Cortex find out about the Mirage Express being destroyed as their plan has failed big time after letting down their minions through a failed scheme to kill all the guests on the train)
*Eggman: The train hasn't been responding. What happen?
*Cortex: It never make it. Blasted curses of tarnation! We've been humiliated!
*Eggman: No! No! Why didn't they die from the crash?!
*Cortex: I knew they got out of there safety. Screw them all!
*Uka Uka: HOW DARE YOU FAILED TO KILL THEM ALL! You only had one job to shut down the train and kill them with bombs. But you made us miserable after one failed heist of murdering them all to the end of the train rail.
*N. Brio: We've been stuffed crust.
*N. Gin: I thought we were going to celebrate.
*Nina: Lame. I though the day was seizin' like cutting Farmer Ernest's garden.
*Sage: It's never a good day since the incident at the Starfall Islands.
*N. Tropy: My time is up. Mission failed.
*Dingodile: Sad sad sad. The bastards got us again.
*Tiny: We have been crushed!
*Female N. Tropy: Don't even think about it. *facepalm*
*Pinstripe: You suck! Forget about it!
*Koala Kong: There is no secret in the diet after all.
*Komodo Joe: Surrender to the Komodo Brothers, or die!
*Komodo Moe: We should have been roasted beef for dinner.
*Ripper Roo: *cries* Wah wah wahhhhhh!
*Fake Crash: Uh oh. *pick his nose and eat his boogers*
*Metal Sonic: Disgusting. Should have taken a bath earlier.
*Cortex: Metal Sonic's right. We need a bubble bath right now!
*Eggman: Boys! Prepare the bath!
*Orbot: *show up saluting with Cubot* Yes sir! A bath is coming right up sir and sir.
*Cubot: *hold two rubber ducks looking like Sonic and Crash* There are some similarities between these ducks.
*Orbot: *hold two rubber ducks looking like Eggman and Cortex* Would you like the happy rubber ducks or the angry ones?
*Eggman: *furious* THE ANGRY ONES! GOD DAMN IT CUBOT!
*Cortex: Why won't you never learn to shut up?!
*Cubot: Guess no one wanted the happy ones.
*Orbot: At least, they wanted the angry ones since they're, you know, angry like the Angry Birds from Piggy Island.
*Cubot: I understand, friend.
*Uka Uka: Sour choice, your evilness.
*Eggman: *upset* SHUT IT!
*Cortex: Prepare us a bath for your punishment! Now!
*Orbot: Oh metal liquid.
*Cubot: I hate my job.
(The army of Eggman and Cortex give Eggman and Cortex a bath for the rest of their days after failing to kill Sonic and Crash's gang at the Mirage Express after a failed mission)
