Opening/The Birth of Sonic (Version 2)

*(We open to a black screen where we hear sounds of animal noises in the background)*

The Lion King Parodies Studios present....

*(Then we see the sun slowly rising over a grassy field as some singers are heard in the background)*

Female singers: (Voice-over) **Nants ingonyama bagithi baba**

**Sithi um ingonyama**

*(Then a bunch of anthro animals awaken calmly to the sunrise and, as if interested of good news, began their trek and/or flight to somewhere)*

Female singers: (Voice-over) Nants ingonyama bagithi baba

**Sithi um ingonyama**

**Ingonyama**

**Siyo Nqoba**

**Ingonyama**

**Ingonyama nengw' enamabala**

**Ingonyama nengw' enamabala (Sitha ngqwa)**

**Ingonyama nengw' enamabala (Eshe)**

Lead female singer: (Voice-over) **From the day we arrive on the planet**

**And blinking, step into the sun**

**There's more to see than can ever be seen**

**More to do than can ever be done**

**There's far too much to take in here**

**More to find than can ever be found**

**But the sun rolling high**

**Through the sapphire sky**

**Keeps great and small on the endless round**

*(The anthro animals arrive at a gigantic rocky mountain called Mobius Rock. Then a robot cat approached with his jetpack the top with a soft smile. The robot cat is a male anthro cat with black fur, white markings at the muzzle, upper face, and belly, shut dark blue eyes, a little black nose, triangular ears with pink interiors, a long tail with a white tip, long black whiskers, a Scottish accent, and wearing white gloves, a small gold crown on his head, a short dark red cape, and brown cuffed boots. He is Cait Sith. Upon arrival, he landed gracefully in front of an adult male anthro hedgehog with yellow fur, peach skin, aqua green eyes, a black nose, yellow spiky quills, and wearing a dark purple sleeveless turtleneck jumpsuit, a silver metal bulky shoulder plate on his left shoulder, brown leather suspenders, a thick leather brown belt. brown fingerless leather gloves with metal gauntlet-like wristbands, and black boots, and sometimes wielded a huge thick bladed sword. He is Cloud Strife, the Hedgehog King of the Mobian Lands. They smiled softly and bowed to each other in respect, for it turned out Cait Sith is Cloud's majordomo)*

Lead female singer: (Voice-over) **It's the Circle of Life**

**And it moves us all**

**Through despair and hope**

**Through faith and love**

**Until we find our place**

**On the path unwinding**

**It's the circle**

*(Then approaching from below towards Cloud with a soft smile is a young female anthro badger with female Mobian badger with orange fur, brown markings, and flat orange hair-like fur with brown markings tied in pigtails, blue eyes, a black nose, peach skin, and wearing a yellow shoulder band on her right shoulder, a beige curled bracelet on her left wrist, a sea-themed charm necklace, a beige tubetop, a brown skirt with beige patches, and beige shoes with brown patches. She is Sticks the Badger, the somewhat kooky, yet wise, shaman of Mobius Rock and an old friend of Cloud's. Upon arrival, they give each other a friendly hug)*

Female lead singer: (Voice-over) **The circle of life**

*(Then they notice two other anthro hedgehogs standing nearby, with the older one holding something wrapped in three blankets, with a soft smile. The first other anthro hedgehog, who is older, is an adult female anthro hedgehog with light brown fur, peach skin, green eyes, a black nose, light brown spiky quills tied in a braid by a big red hair ribbon, and wearing a red short-sleeved jacket over a pink sleeveless zipped-up dress, gold bracelets, a black stringed choker, and brown boots, and sometimes wielded a rod. She is Aerith Gainsborough, Cloud's wife and the Hedgehog Queen of Mobius Rock. And the last other anthro hedgehog, who is younger, is a teenage female anthro hedgehog with yellow fur, peach skin, blue eyes, a black nose, long blonde hip-length hair-like quills, and wearing a blue hairband, a blue short-sleeved blouse with poofy sleeves and a pale blue neck rim and lining going down the front, a pale blue flowing, shin-length skirt, white gloves with blue rims, and blue low-heeled shoes. She is Maria Robotnik, Cloud and Aerith's daughter. Then, while the chorus' voices sang in the background, Cloud and Sticks, in calm happiness, approached the two and Cloud and Aerith gives each other a loving kiss while Maria gives them a loving hug. Then Aerith lowered her head and gently presents three tiny figures laying nuzzled in their own blankets. The first figure is a newborn baby male anthro hedgehog with blue fur, peach skin, green eyes, a black nose, and blue spiky quills. That is, apparently, a newborn Hedgehog Prince, whom they named Sonic, Maria's new baby brother, for it turned out it is a presentation ceremony celebrating his birth. The second figure is a newborn baby male two-tailed fox with gold yellow fur, white fur patches, blue eyes, and a black nose. That is, apparently, a newborn Fox Prince, whom they named Miles "Tails" Prower, Maria's other new baby brother and Baby Sonic's twin brother, which is also a presentation ceremony celebrating his birth, along with Baby Sonic's. And the last figure is a newborn baby male echidna with red fur, long red dreadlock-like quills, a white crescent moon symbol on his chest, peach skin, a black nose, and purple eyes. That is, apparently, a newborn Echidna Prince, whom they named Knuckles, Maria's other new baby brother and Sonic and Tails' triplet brother, which is also a presentation ceremony celebrating his birth, along with Baby Sonic's. Sticks then gently shook her staff to see how Baby Sonic, Knuckles, and Tails' personality will be, and sure enough, their personality is a happy curious type. Then Sticks took out a coconut filled with red ceremonial paint and cracks it open. Then she paints the red paint on Baby Sonic, Knuckles, and Tails' own foreheads, making the little newborns giggle a bit. Then after gathering some sand, she gently sprinkles it on Baby Sonic, Baby Knuckles, and Baby Tails' own faces, making the baby hedgehog give a cute sneeze and then, for his, Baby Knuckles, and Baby Tails' case, three other brief giggles, much to Cloud and Aerith's calm happiness and Maria's calm amusement. Then Sticks gently picks Baby Sonic, Baby Knuckles, and Baby Tails up, blankets and all, and slowly walks up to the edge of the top of Mobius Rock to present the newborn princes to the anthro animals below as the anthro animals await in calm silent eagerness. Then sure enough as the song resumes into its grand finale after the chanting is completed, Sticks holds Baby Sonic, then Baby Knuckles, and finally, Baby Tails, up in the air, presenting them and the anthro animals happily cheered, happy to know that they now have three future kings that'll lead them after Cloud. Seeing this in Sticks' hands, Baby Sonic, Baby Knuckles, and Baby Tails gave calm happy smiles, pleased to see this)*

Lead female singer: (Voice-over) **It's the Circle of Life**

**And it moves us all**

**Through despair and hope**

**Through faith and love**

*(Then the sun's light shone down on Sticks, Baby Sonic, Baby Knuckles, and Baby Tails as the anthro animals all bowed down to their new princes)*

Lead female singer: (Voice-over) **Until we find our place**

**On the path unwinding**

**It's the circle**

**The circle of life**

*(Then on cue as the song ended, the title appears)*

The Hedgehog King

*(Then we fade to black)*

Coming up: ***Cloud angrily berates his jealous brother, Mephiles the Dark, for missing out on the ceremony of Sonic, Knuckles, and Tails' birth. Then a few years later, Sonic, Knuckles, and Tails, now young boys, are shown their upcoming kingdom by their father for when they become the new kings, ending with a fun sneak-attack lesson alongside their best friends, Shadow, Omega, Silver, and Max.***
