After a group of agents goes missing on a mission, Sonic the Hedgehog, Tails, Knuckles the Echidna, and Amy Rose are sent on a rescue missing. Unfortunately, things don't go as planned.
==Transcript (unfinished)==
Mobians are seen peacefully walking through a city. One is watching their child play with a dog-like creature, one is watching TV through a store window, and one comes out of a store wearing fancy new clothes. All of a sudden, a lion Mobian runs through the streets.
*Lion Mobian: Get inside! Get inside! Everybody, get inside!
The people on the streets stare at him before suddenly running away in fear. A giant robotic dog is seen bashing its way through the city, crashing into buildings and leaving craters with each step. A fish Mobian rings a large bell while yelling into a microphone.
*Fish Mobian: Badnik attack! everybody get inside!
The robot dog continues wreaking havoc as we cut to Sally Acorn inside of a high-tech base with a group of other Mobians, watching the events take place from inside.
*Sally: Rotor, what's the sitch?
*Rotor: We have our eyes on the Badnik. It is approximately 30-feet-tall and doesn't seem to have any extra weapons. We've been getting a few injury reports but nothing serious, luckily. An agent's team has been deployed to take care of it.
*Sally: Which agent?
*Rotor: The one you're thinking of.
Cut to Sonic running through the city at top speed, leaving a blue streak behind him as he runs. Tails, Knuckles, and Amy are seen running on the roofs of buildings, eventually landing on one roof that gives them a clear view of the Badnik. Sonic runs on top of the building with his friends.
*Sonic: You guys made it here before me again? aw, man...
*Knuckles: So, what're we dealing with this time?
*Tails: Looks like another new design from Eggman.
*Amy: How many Badnik designs are there at this point?
*Knuckles: Thirty-something, I think.
*Tails: This one seems like the biggest out of all of them.
*Sonic: Well, you know the old saying. "The bigger they are, the harder they fall!"
Sonic jumps off the building and runs into action.
*Tails: He really needs to stop running in without a plan...
*Amy: Oh, come on Tails, he's Sonic the Hedgehog! Even if he doesn't have a plan, he's still gonna come out on top in the end!
*Knuckles: Yeah, yeah, whatever. Let's get a move on! He's already got a headstart on taking the thing down!
Knuckles and Amy jump down while Tails flies overhead. Sonic runs from leg to leg on the robot before speeding over to Knuckles and Amy.
*Sonic: Eggman's getting better at building robots. I can't find a single weak spot in the thing's legs...
*Amy: Maybe there's one in its head?
*Sonic: Hey, good idea! you guys distract the Badnik while Tails and I look for a weak spot in its head.
Sonic runs off.
*Knuckles: Alright, let's get to work distracting this thing!
*Amy: Did Sonic just... compliment me?
Amy covers her mouth in shock, a look of excitement in her eyes.
*Knuckles: Any ideas on how to get its attention?
*Amy: Huh? oh, yeah, right! follow me!
The two run in front of the Badnik. Amy takes out her hammer and smashes into its leg to get its attention. The Badnik looks down at her and she sticks her tongue out at it before running away. The Badnik chases her.
*Knuckles: Hey ugly!
The Badnik looks to its left and has one of its eyes shattered by Knuckles gliding into it. Knuckles then lands and starts running with Amy. Sonic looks down at the two while hanging off the Badnik's leg.
*Sonic: Alright Knuckles and Amy! Great job!
He jumps up the Badnik and gets on top of it, spotting Tails on its head looking into its shattered eye.
*Sonic: Tails, buddy! whatcha looking at?
*Tails: I don't think these "eyes" are its eyes.
*Sonic: What do ya mean?
*Tails: I can't see any cameras or anything inside of its shattered eye. I think the camera might be somewhere else.
*Sonic: Hm... Amy said the thing might have a weak spot in its head. Maybe the camera's in its... mouth? I don't know, if you have a better idea then--
*Tails: That... actually makes a lot of sense. It would explain why the Badnik's mouth is open most of the time. After all, if the camera's in its mouth it wouldn't be able to see if it closed it. But how do we get in its mouth fast enough for it to not notice us and chomp us down?
*Sonic: Um, hello? you forget that you're talking to the fastest thing alive right now? I can get into its mouth and break the camera without it even realizing I was there in the first place!
*Tails: Hm... alright, but be careful.
Sonic gives Tails a thumbs up. Meanwhile, Knuckles and Amy continue running from the Badnik. Knuckles starts running in the opposite direction of Amy.
*Amy: Uh, Knuckles? Where're you going?
*Knuckles: Don't worry, I've got an idea!
He runs off.
*Amy: Knuckles!
*Knuckles: Sorry, can't hear you!
*Amy: If I die today I'm gonna kill you!
Back with Sonic, he's seen standing on the bridge of the Badnik's nose.
*Sonic (thinking): Wait for it to open juuuuust wide enough and...
Tails looks down at Amy.
*Tails: Amy!
*Amy: What?!
*Tails: Do "you know what" to distract it!
*Amy: Huh... oh, got it!
Amy continues running, ducking into a corner. The Badnik runs after her but she's nowhere to be seen. A translucent version of her is seen standing right in front of its foot.
*Amy (thinking): Good lord, this thing almost stepped on me! I almost died! That's the downside to being invisible, enemies can't see you and hurt you but they can still hurt you accidentally...
The Badnik screeches in rage at not being able to find Amy.
*Sonic: Now!
Sonic rushes inside the Badnik's mouth and runs to the back of it where a massive camera is sitting. He gets ready to attack it when, out of nowhere, wires fly out and grab him, stopping him in his tracks.
*Sonic: What the--?!
Tails is seen watching this.
*Tails: Uh-oh...
Tails looks up and yells to Amy.
*Tails: Amy! Sonic's stuck!
*Amy: What?!
*Tails: He's stuck in its mouth, it'll--
The Badnik opens its mouth and bites down with incredible force in an attempt to crush Sonic. However, Amy tosses her hammer into its mouth, stopping it from closing its jaw.
*Amy: Don't you dare touch my Sonic!
*Sonic: Alright Amy! coming in with the assist!
Sonic quickly curls up in a ball, ripping the wires and spin dashing into the camera. Blue electrical energy flies out of his body and into the camera, causing it to shatter. Sonic quickly runs to the front of the Badnik's mouth.
*Sonic: Camera's smashed! it's blinded!
*???: Good!
Sonic looks up and spots Knuckles gliding in.
*Knuckles: Then he won't be able to see this coming!
Knuckles flies straight into the Badnik, crushing its head with his fists. He then lands on the ground next to Amy, who turns back to being visible. The Badnik stands there for a few seconds before collapsing into the ground, defeated. Sonic and Tails hop off of it, Tails floating in the air triumphantly while Sonic stretches nonchalantly while giving a thumbs-up.
*Sonic: Too easy!
*Knuckles: So, I got the final hit on the Badnik. What's our score now?
*Sonic: For you, six, for me, infinity.
*Amy: Be nice.
*Sonic: Heh, fine. We're tied six to six.
*Knuckles: I'm catching up fast!
*Tails: I don't like the fact you turned our job into a game...
