2020

*"Where am I? What year is it? Is The Rock president?"*
―Sonic the Hedgehog to Tom Wachowski and Maddie Wachowski[src]
This is a timeline of events that occurred during **2020**.

#### 4th

* Assigned to patrol a speed trap nearby the town of Green Hills, Tom Wachowski waits for any passing car with his radar. Wachowski expresses his disappointment when he doesn't see any car passing through the area and decides to mess around with his radar. He expresses his boredom as Wade Whipple radios in to check in on him. Wachowski answers, saying that he was on a yacht in Barbados with Rihanna. Whipple genuinely expresses amazement and asks Wachowski to send pictures. Wachowski answers back, telling him that he was actually at the speed trap. Whipple asks how did he get back so fast since Barbados is in the ocean. Wachowski spots something on the road and tells Whipple to wait.
* Wachowski grabs his radar and aims it to the road where he sees a turtle crossing the road. The radar beeps after measuring the turtle's speed and he yells out, "Hey buddy! Where's the fire? Got kids living around here." Wachowski takes back the joke and says that he thought it was funny.
* Wachowski takes off his sunglasses as a blue blur zips past the vehicle without him noticing. The radar beeps and shows a speed of 297 mph, confusing Wachowski. As Wachowski grabs the radar to get a better look, the blue hedgehog peaks from the back of the vehicle to see his recorded speed. Wachowski checks to see if there are any cars passing by as the blue hedgehog runs past the vehicle again, causing the radar to beep again and show a speed of 300 mph. Wachowski looks at the radar again and is shocked to see the increased number. Wachowski hits the radar, thinking that it's malfunctioning, as the blue hedgehog celebrates his new high score and runs off without him noticing. Wachowski looks at his surroundings again.
* Wachowski gets out of his police vehicle and walks on the side of the road until he sees something shining in the tall grass. He walks towards it and picks it up. Wachowski examines the abnormal quill and heads back to his car. Whipple radios in again, telling Wachowski that they need him down at main street and says that there's been a violent shoot-out. Wachowski starts driving back to town as Whipple radios in again and tells him that he was kidding, but that a duck had stolen a bagel and the shop owners need it back.
* A passing car continues to drive towards the turtle until the same blue blur, Sonic the Hedgehog, rescues it just in time. Sonic tells it that it had almost gotten itself killed and asks if the turtle is some kind of "adrenaline junkie". Sonic lightly taps the turtle on its head and sympathizes with it, telling it that "it must be rough being slow all the time" and offers it the time of it's life.
* Sonic uses his superspeed to run on the road at high speeds. Sonic hollers, enjoying the moment, as the turtle smiles. Sonic holds the turtle up in the air with one hand and tells it that it's doing amazing. The turtle slides off Sonic's hand due to drag, which momentarily startles the young hedgehog and runs back to grab the turtle before it hits the ground. After successfully saving the turtle again, Sonic runs back to his previous position and continues his run with the turtle. Sonic drops the shivering turtle off in the woods and tells it to keep this experience a secret as he zips away back to his hideout.
* Arriving at his hideout, Sonic lands on his beanbag and zips off it.
* Sonic holds his brush and pretends to sing and uses his afterimages to cheer himself on.
* Sonic runs around his hideout and does a few dance moves.
* Sonic grabs his toy guitar and pretends to play it.
* Sonic uses his speed to play jump rope.
* Sonic swings around on his tire while also pretending to play the guitar.
* Sonic speed-reads through his entire collection of *The Flash*, including *Volume 1, Issue 285* and *Volume 1, Issue 335*.
* Sonic runs inside his washing machine.
* Sonic plays with his nun-chucks before accidentally hitting himself and falling to the ground.
* Sonic uses his speed to verses himself in tennis, with the table being various road signs. Sonic misses the ball and knocks down his bag of rings and his safe worlds map. Sonic quickly gathers the rings into the bag and remembers what Longclaw told him. He looks at the map and holds one of the rings over the safe worlds. Sonic hovers over a circled depiction of the Mushroom Planet and throws the ring. The ring activates and opens a portal directly to the planet. Sonic looks through the portal, saying "I hate mushrooms" out loud.
* Sonic runs over to a cliff on the mountainside of Green Hills and looks at the distant town. Sonic then runs toward the town and runs to a nearby building. At the rooftop, Sonic watches as the civilians of the town go through their normal lives and thinks of them as his people. Sonic lights up as he spots Wachowski eating a donut and letting a group of geese pass through the street, further enforcing Sonic's image of him as the protector of Green Hills and the defender of animals. Wachowski says good morning to the geese as they pass through.

#### 5th

* Maddie Wachowski plays a yoga instruction video on her MacBook and heads to the back porch of her house.
* Sonic the Hedgehog watches Wachowski practice yoga from afar and decides to try it out himself. He tries to copy the exact pose she's doing, but finds the pose painful to do. Sonic wonders if she was born without bones.

#### 7th

* Tom and Maddie Wachowski sit down on the couch with a bowl of popcorn, ready for their movie night. Their dog Ozzie sits next to them.
* Sonic the Hedgehog arrives on time for movie night and hopes for *Speed* to be the movie for the night. He opens his eyes and is glad to see that the Wachowskis are watching that exact movie and claims that Keanu Reeves is a national treasure.
* Dennis Hopper's character, Howard Payne, says the line 'Pop quiz, hotshot!'. Sonic repeats the line from outside and claims it's a classic. Tom and Maddie laugh at the scene as Sonic looks at them happily, wishing he was on the couch with them.
* Sonic jumps down from the window as the Wachowskis watch *The Naked Gun: From the Files of Police Squad!* and turns around to see inside of the house. Sonic thinks about his relationship with the Wachowskis and remembers that he isn't really apart of their family. Sonic trudges back into the woods.

#### 9th

* An RV drives out to the wilderness past sunset and parks at a secluded area near the woods. An old man, Carl, steps out of the vehicle and opens the back of his van and takes out a duffel bag. He opens it and takes out a flamingo lawn ornament. After spinning the ornament, Carl takes out more lawn ornaments and whirligigs and sets them up around the area.
* Carl prepares a rope trap.
* Carl sets up a bear trap and deliberately places D batteries in the center. He feels confident that he's finally going to capture the "Blue Devil" and laughs. Carl heads back to his RV and falls asleep on top of an incomplete puzzle.
* Carl hears a sound from one of his decorations and wakes up. He starts to notice the ornaments slowly spin, telling him that the Blue Devil is near. Carl looks back at the woods behind him to check if he could spot the creature. When he isn't looking, Sonic zips past and completes the puzzle on his table. Carl turns back around and is shocked that the puzzle is now completed and stands up from his chair. He hears one of the bear traps go off outside and believes that he has finally caught the "Blue Devil" and laughs.
* Carl runs towards the open area with his flashlight and stops in front of his RV. He yells at the creature to show himself. In response, the "Blue Devil" uses his speed to set off all of the bear traps and avoids getting caught in them. Carl watches in horror as his traps have failed in catching the creature until he sees that there is one bear trap left. Carl walks over to the bear trap, hopeful of finally capturing the "Blue Devil", until Sonic zips by and successfully retrieves the batteries without setting it off.
* Carl cries out in frustration. He then sees the "Blue Devil" running past the ornaments and runs after him.
* Carl steps on his own rope trap which lifts him up from the ground and leaves him dangling from the tree branch. Carl accidentally drops his flashlight and yells out to the creature that he knows he's real and out there. Sonic refutes this by yelling out the opposite and drinks Carl's soda. Carl notices this and Sonic burps. Carl plans on trying to capture the "Blue Devil" again as Sonic runs off into the woods, noting the fun he's had with him.

#### 10th

* While looking for the sheriff to tell him about the events last night, Carl runs into Wade Whipple and asks where Wachowski is. Whipple tells him that he is at Woody's Tavern.
* Wachowski enters Woody's Tavern and is greeted by the bartender and the patrons there. The bartender asks Wachowski if he wants a beer, but the sheriff declines the offer and asks for a whiskey instead. The bartender asks Wachowski if he's seen Jess and Wachowski says that he had seen her and had to explain to her that a deflated bounce castle isn't a police matter. The bartender notes that Jess thinks everything is a police matter, with Wachowski replying that everyone thinks that everything's a police matter.
* Carl enters the bar and sees Wachowski at the table. He calls out his name and walks towards him as Wachowski asks for a double. Wachowski asks Carl how'd he found him, to which he replies that Whipple had told him. Carl changes the subject by bringing up the "Blue Devil" and tells Wachowski, "I almost caught him last night". One of the other patrons nearby asks Carl about the "Blue Devil" while Wachowski tells the patron not to start. The patron doesn't listen and continues on with what he wanted to say and laughs with his buddy.
* Carl explains what the "Blue Devil" is, as Wachowski sighs in disappointment. He tells the customer that the creature is so fast that the naked eye can't catch it, and compares it to a "blue blur". Carl speculates as to what the creature really is and claims that the "Blue Devil" is spying on the town to prepare for an invasion. Carl tells them that the creature also has an appetite for D batteries, and is met with laughter. Carl is dumbfounded by this reaction, and tells them he has a picture. He takes out a horribly drawn depiction of the creature and is met with laughter from the customers. He shows the drawing to the bartender, and then to Wachowski, who nods his head. The bartender claims the story gets better every time he hears it, and Wachowski offers Carl a ride back home.
* Outside the bar, Wachowski asks Carl if he has taken any prescription medication that is possibly expired or manufactured in Russia. Carl says that he hasn't and Wachowski tells him that he should start taking medication as he opens the car door for him. Wachowski reassures him that he needs to get more rest and to not worry about the forest creature so much. Carl tells him that he's a good man like his father, who was the previous sheriff before him. He tells Wachowski that his father always put the people first and never judged anybody. Carl sits down as he tells Wachowski that he doesn't know where this town would be without a Wachowski looking out for them. Wachowski closes the car door and smiles at that fact.

#### 11th

* After a long day of work, Tom Wachowski pulls into his driveway and notices two raccoons digging into his trash bin. Wachowski honks his horn at them and yells at them to get out of the trash. Once he enters his house, he asks his wife Maddie Wachowski for the fastest way to exterminate raccoons. He then greets his dog Ozzie.
* Maddie walks over to him with a letter in her hands. Tom looks at her and asks her if that was the letter he was waiting for. Maddie confirms this and asks Tom to open it. Tom reads the letter and finds out that he's been accepted to join the SFPD and Maddie takes out one of her cakes and presents it to him, not knowing it was the wrong cake. Tom reads "San Francisco Sucks!" and Maddie realizes that she took out the wrong cake and takes out the right one. Tom reads the cake again and the two embrace each other.
* Tom notices pictures of an apartment from Maddie's laptop and asks her what those are. Maddie tells him that she was looking for apartments on Zillow that were for rent and tells him that she and Ozzie could fly out to San Francisco tomorrow to check out the neighborhoods.
* Tom heads over to the table and sits down, saying that this was happening so fast. Maddie tries to motivate him and Tom states that there's still a pending background check. Maddie sits down and recalls the time Tom had used their neighbor's Wi-Fi and Tom corrects her, saying that he's still using it. He then asks her if she's okay with all of this and Maddie reminds him of what Tom did for her the entire time she was in veterinary school; Tom found a second job for rent and third for tuition. Maddie tells him that she's happy to sacrifice for him the same way he once did for her.
* Maddie gets up and asks Tom if he's okay with this, reminding him that there has been a Wachowski protecting Green Hills for more than 50 years and notes that this is a big change. Tom claims that he's fine with this and that it's time for him to get out there and prove himself by saving others in real trouble. Maddie tells him that she's proud of him and the two embrace again.

#### 12th

* Maddie Wachowski arrives at San Francisco and stays with her sister Rachel and her daughter Jojo.
* The Green Hills Baseball Team and the Spring Valley Baseball Team start their game of baseball at the Green Hills Baseball Field.
* During his shift, Wachowski sets Sergeant Sprinkles at the front of his police car and practices his farewell speech. Once he finishes, he reassures himself that the speech wasn't so bad and that all he has to do is to present his speech in front of real people.
* Sonic the Hedgehog uses his speed to sneak into Dr. A. Burdett's office and starts to recap the past few days to himself.
* Sonic talks about how he's living his best life in isolation and lists the multiple things he has to keep himself busy. He then says that if he's ever discovered, he will follow his mentor's instructions and go to a safer planet. He describes his disgust of the Mushroom Planet, saying that they were only filled with "gross" and "smelly" mushrooms.
* Sonic then talks about Green Hills and the people, and that he's their lovable space creature even if they don't know he exists. He notes that his favorite person is Tom Wachowski, who he calls "The Donut Lord", because of his role as the sheriff of the town and protector of animals. Sonic says that Maddie Wachowski, aka "Pretzel Lady", lives with Tom and is nice to animals. He notes that she apparently wasn't born with bones.
* Sonic mentions to his "therapist" that Carl is the only person who's onto him and says that he has fun with him, remembering the last time he tried to catch him.
* Sonic says that movie night is his favorite and that he sees the Wachowskis as his family, even though the former hasn't met the hedgehog yet. "Therapist" Sonic then asks him if his prolonged isolation wasn't driving him crazy, to which Sonic denies this and says that he's got him wrong. The "therapist" then takes off his glasses and tells him that maybe he's just lonely and afraid of being alone forever. Sonic realizes what he said and has a dejected look on his face.
* Sonic, no longer pretending to have a conversation, leaves the psychiatrist's office.
* As the playoffs begin between the Green Hills and Spring Valley baseball teams, Sonic runs behind a tree nearby and watches excitedly.
* A pitcher from the Spring Valley baseball team throws the ball towards a batter from the opposite team, who successfully hits a homerun. The pitcher runs after the ball and tries to catch it, but misses as the ball lands outside the fence near the scoreboard, allowing the Green Hills baseball team to win.
* Both families and the home team cheer as Sonic sneakily runs under the bleachers to get a closer look at the action. The batter high-fives everyone on his team while unknowingly watched by Sonic, who is amazed.
* The batter is surrounded by his entire team and celebrates his and the team's victory and lifts him up. Sonic smiles.
* Shortly after the sun sets, both teams and their families head to the parking lot and drive home. Sonic stays behind and waits for the parking lot to empty out.
* Shorty after the headlights turn on in the field, Sonic enters the field and looks around, remarking how cool it is. He then notices the baseball equipment the teams had left behind.
* Sonic self-narrates as a keynote speaker announcing the arrival of the core members of two opposing baseball teams. Sonic holds up a baseball bat and prepares himself for the ball before running over to the pitcher's mound with a cap and a pitcher's glove and self-narrates as the "most fearsome southpaw of Green Hills" while spinning his arm around and prepares to throw the ball. Sonic runs back to the batter's box and motivates himself to win the game. Sonic then runs over to 3rd base, does a couple of body motions, and says that the guy on the left is a "space-case" before running over to the field and blows bubblegum before running back to the pitcher's mound and sighs. Sonic then puts on catcher's gear and runs over to the catcher's box and does hand motions.
* "Pitcher" Sonic throws the ball (and Sonic runs over to the batter's box as the ball is heading towards that area). "Batter" Sonic successfully hits the ball. "Catcher" Sonic, initially distracted by a flower in the field, hurriedly runs over to the ball while saying that he's got it before falling onto the field shortly after the ball lands on the ground. "Batter" Sonic drops his bat and starts to run towards 1st base. "Catcher" Sonic throws the ball and barely misses "Batter" Sonic. Nearing 3rd, "Baseman" Sonic yells at "Batter" to go home as "Catcher" prepares to catch the ball. "Batter" launches himself in the air and lands directly on home plate just as "Catcher" catches the ball. "Umpire" Sonic yells out "Safe!" and "Batter" Sonic cheers, raising his hand up and asks if anyone saw what he did.
* Slowly transitioning out of his pretend scenario, Sonic remembers that no one is actually there. Sonic lowers his hand upon the realization that he truly is alone.
* **Green Hills Energy Surge**:
	+ Saddened by his realization, Sonic takes off his batter's helmet and uses his speed to run around the bases multiple times.
	+ Running around the field, a frustrated Sonic pushes himself to go faster and faster, not realizing that he's digging lower and lower into the field.
	+ Sonic's quills slowly start to discharge his energy around him as it glows brighter.
	+ After exerting enough force in himself, Sonic reaches his limit and yells as he discharges an enormous amount of Chaos Energy, which instantly short-circuits the headlights and causes a blast radius across the entire Pacific Northwest.
	+ Green Hills and nearby towns goes dark as the energy reaches into outer space and disables a nearby satellite.
	+ Sonic flees the scene, hoping that no one will notice what just occurred. While running to his hideout, he leaves a footprint on a rock somewhere in the woods.
* Meanwhile, Wade Whipple ponders at his desk as he receives multiple incoming calls from the townspeople. Whipple decides to call Wachowski for advice. Whipple asks Wachowski what's going on and Wachowski states that the power has gone out. Whipple asks Wachowski what he should do in this situation and Wachowski tells him to relax and call Gil to locate the downed line and then call Zim to bring his generator over so the food can stay fresh. Whipple tries to clarify by asking if he should call Zim before Gil or the other way around. Wachowski walks around his house and notices a blue glow from behind a fruit plate and decides to call Whipple back. Whipple motivates himself and tries to recall Wachowski's instructions.
* Wachowski moves the plate out of the way and sees that it's the quill making the blue glow. He picks it up and notices it crackle with energy.
* The energy blast reaches Mobius, where Tails gets the energy reading on his computer.
* A military camp is established at the site of the blackout with Major Bennington assigned as the one in charge.
* Twenty minutes after the blackout, at the Pentagon, Commander Walters holds a joint meeting with fellow military members about the recent blackout. They had confirmed that it wasn't an EMP, NASA had confirmed that it wasn't a meteor strike nor a solar flare, and the Department of Energy had concluded it wasn't a nuclear malfunction. Walters suggests hiring Ivo Robotnik for the job and is met with opposition to this. Walters reminds them that, despite Robotnik being weird, he has helped the United States with military operations before and that he has a high IQ and is familiar with technology. They eventually agree to bring him in.

#### 13th

* A study on a new free-form LCD technology is reported.
* Ivo Robotnik, assigned with his own team, arrives at the military camp site in his custom Freightliner truck. Bennington turns around after talking with his colleague, confused at the sight. Robotnik steps out of the truck, along with Agent Stone, and approaches Bennington. He takes off his shades and asks Bennington if he's the one in charge before interrupting him.
* After Robotnik claims that he's now the one in charge, he shows Bennington technology he has never seen before and tells him that he is the top banana. After clarifying, Robotnik tells Bennington that he's initiating a sweep sequence with his drones for 10 miles in every direction to find the source of the blackout. He asks Stone if Bennington is still looking at him funny, to which Stone confirms. Robotnik tells him that his men now report to him and taunts him. Bennington tries to retort and Robotnik interrupts him again and asks for his name. Bennington replies but is cut off again, with Robotnik saying he doesn't care and that nobody cares about his accomplishments. Robotnik then tells him that his robots will do what they're told to do. As Robotnik's drones fly out of the truck, Robotnik orders Bennington to sit on the sidelines and watch his drones do his job. He then tells Stone that this is evolution as he uses his control gloves to send his drones out.
* Multiple drones scatter into the woods and scans the area to look for anomalies. One drone finds an anomaly on a rock and sends the data back to Robotnik's truck.
* Robotnik thoroughly analyzes the data in his truck. As Stone enters the truck, Robotnik asks him if he sees anything useful in the image displayed on the screen. Stone says he doesn't, prompting Robotnik to show him his knowledge he gained during his time with the Shadow Wolves. Robotnik shows Stone the most accurate size of the creature's foot, which surprises Stone. Robotnik then further reveals that he has determined the exact height, weight, and spinal curvature of it and couldn't find it anywhere in Earth's animal kingdom. Robotnik concludes that this was not a terrorist attack and that this is something else entirely. He orders Stone to lead all units to the footprint site.
* The army and Robotnik's drones search the woods. Sonic sees this from his hiding spot and gets nervous on what to do. He runs back to his hideout, deciding that Earth isn't safe for him anymore, and takes all of his essential items into his backpack. Sonic is about to throw a ring to the Mushroom Planet until he hears multiple German Shepherds barking nearby his hideout. He decides to head to the only other safe place he can think of: Tom Wachowski's house.
* While plotting a route to San Francisco, Maddie Wachowski calls Tom Wachowski's phone. Tom asks what Maddie is doing and she tells him that she's coloring with Jojo and Rachel. Tom tells her that there was a blackout in the town. Maddie states that Wade Whipple must've freaked out, to which Tom confirms. He then asks her how Rachel was doing and if she convinced her to divorce him yet. Maddie says that she hasn't, but to check for any dating apps. Tom reassures her that he only has the apps, along with Olive Garden, that came with his phone.
* Sonic bumps into the pair of trash bins next to Tom's garage before sneaking through an open window and accidentally breaks a plant pot. Tom hears the noise and checks the window to see what happened. He concludes that the raccoons are back and grabs Maddie's tranquilizer gun, to her concern.
* Sonic jumps down to the floor and notes that there was only minimal damage to "Donut Lord"'s property. He takes out his bag of rings from his backpack and tries to talk himself into leaving Earth.
* Maddie tells Tom that her tranquilizer gun is only for bears as Tom loads the gun and jokingly says that he now knows it'll work. Tom says goodbye and hangs up the phone, and tastes a bit of the icing on the cake. Rachel spells out the word "divorce" to Maddie as she helps Jojo build a toy rocket.
* Sonic finally convinces himself to leave Earth and holds his ring. Just as he's about to throw the ring, Wachowski barges into the garage thinking he was only going to encounter raccoons. Wachowski finally sees Sonic for the first time and both lock eyes with each other. Sonic tries to pretend to be a cat, which causes Wachowski to scream. Sonic then screams back and Wachowski shoots the tranq gun at his foot. Sonic notices his vision getting blurry and sees the words "San Francisco" along with a picture of the Transamerica Pyramid on Wachowski's shirt. Sonic drops the ring after reading his shirt, causing it to temporarily open. Shocked, Wachowski drops his flashlight and the tranq gun and watches as Sonic drops his bag of rings ontop of the Transamerica Pyramid as he faints to the ground. The portal closes and Wachowski tries to process what just happened.
* Wachowski places an unconscious Sonic in Ozzie's dog cage as he tries to figure out what to do with him.
* Wachowski uses his spatula to carefully examine Sonic's quills. He puts the spatula down on the table and brings up the quill he had picked up from the previous week. He realizes that Carl was telling the truth all along and calls him the "Blue Devil" for the first time. He turns around and stands by the counter as Sonic regains consciousness and exits the cage. Wachowski picks up his phone and decides to take a picture of the hedgehog until he notices that the hedgehog is up and talking. He asks Sonic if he was here to abduct him and the hedgehog responds, saying that he abducted him. Wachowski asks Sonic why he was hiding out in his garage and Sonic says that he needed to be somewhere safe and that "Donut Lord" was the only person he could think of. Wachowski asks why Sonic keeps calling him "Donut Lord" and the former says that it was because he talks to donuts and eats them if they get out of line. Sonic then remembers that he had lost his rings earlier.
* As Robotnik's truck approaches nearby, Wachowski misinterprets the shaking of the vehicle as a potential mothership that belongs to Sonic. Wachowski asks him if that was his mothership and heads towards the nearest window. Sonic states that he wasn't even wearing pants.
* Robotnik's truck stops outside Wachowski's house. Wachowski is confused as to why the truck is there. Sonic freaks out and closes the curtain.
* Robotnik steps out of the truck and scans the footprint with his control glove, confirming the data with hand motions.
* Sonic asks for Wachowski's help and claims that this is life or death. Wachowski reluctantly agrees to help and tells him to follow him. Sonic falls to the ground and asks Wachowski to help him up.
* Wachowski places Sonic in the attic and tells him to stay there and be quiet. Sonic sees this as the next step of working together and that they are practically finishing each other's sentences. Wachowski, uncomfortable, heads back down and closes the way up to the attic.
* Outside, Wachowski yells out to Robotnik and asks him what he's doing there. Robotnik comes up with a lie and says that he's from the power company investigating the blackout as he walks towards the house. He asks Wachowski if he can take readings inside his house. Wachowski, suspicious of Robotnik, tells him that he must know his buddy Spencer. Robotnik goes along with this and claims that Spencer is a good man. Wachowski walks towards his front door and tells Robotnik to come right in but stops him and says that the power company usually takes readings from outside the house. And that Spencer works for the gas company. Wachowski then asks Robotnik why he thinks that he's dumb enough to let him enter his residence.
* **Invasion of the Wachowski Residence**:
	+ Robotnik secretly uses his control glove to send tiny versions of his drones to investigate inside Wachowski's house.
	+ The tiny drones enter the house via the hole in the chimney and the windows. One drone enters through the attic window and start scanning the area as Sonic hides near the "wetsuits" box.
	+ Robotnik asks for Wachowski's name and then tells him that he may have noticed that the entire town has been experiencing a power outage. Wachowski confirms his knowledge of this and tells him that there has been no power in his house. Robotnik says that he had tracked a similar energy signature to the one that caused the blackout.
	+ While the drones are scanning opposite sides of the attic, Sonic curls up into a ball and tries to blend in with the stuff lying on the floor of the attic. Sonic talks to himself, telling himself to be quiet, and worries if the drones are scanning with x-rays.
	+ Wachowski tries to convince Robotnik that he has nothing to do with the situation and tells him to ask someone else in town. Robotnik responds in a sarcastic way and tells him that he's better than him in every way possible. Robotnik then threatens him, saying that if he's caught lying, he'll be marked as a traitor of the United States and that the punishment is worse than death.
	+ Another drone flies into the attic from outside and starts scanning near Sonic. Sonic begins to freak out as the drones are getting closer and closer to him. He eventually decides to move out of the way before they scan him, and accidentally opens the attic ladder. Sonic bounces down the stairs, while also asking why they aren't carpeted, and slams against a kitchen island table.
	+ Robotnik is interrupted in his sentence when he hears a noise coming from the kitchen. Wachowski looks towards that direction and looks back at him, saying that it was the pipes.
	+ Sonic hides under the kitchen island table.
	+ Robotnik sarcastically goes along with Wachowski's answer and pretends he's going to drop what he just heard. He suddenly pushes Wachowski out of the way and heads towards the kitchen.
	+ Robotnik and Wachowski arrives at the kitchen and find a raccoon eating Wachowski's celebration cake. Robotnik is frustrated and tells Wachowski that he's never wrong. Wachowski tells him that there's a first time for everything and asks him if he wants cake. The raccoon walks out the pet door as Robotnik walks away.
	+ Just as he's about to exit the kitchen, he spots the quill on the blind side of the kitchen counter and takes it. Robotnik shows the quill to a worried Wachowski, saying that he was right. He asks to try this again.
	+ Robotnik whistles *Ride of the Valkyries* as a large drone enters the kitchen and aims at Wachowski. Sonic continues to watch from under the kitchen island table, worried for Wachowski.
	+ Robotnik tells Wachowski that he's going to give him five seconds to tell him where it is. Wachowski claims he doesn't know what he's talking about. Robotnik starts to count down and Wachowski takes out his sheriff's ID and tries to threaten him. Robotnik calls his bluff and tells him that he can't threaten a person who never existed.
	+ Robotnik counts down to three and begs Wachowski to rack his brain up or come up with a lame excuse to continue living. Wachowski doesn't say anything.
	+ As Robotnik counts down to one, Sonic comes out of hiding and asks him to not hurt Wachowski. Robotnik screams at the sight of him, leaving an opening for Wachowski to punch him in the face. After he falls to the ground, the drone opens fire on them and Wachowski brings Sonic to cover behind the dining table.
	+ The drone shoots towards them and ends up shooting through the wall and the window several times until it needs to reload. Sonic sees this chance to sneak up on the drone and sneaks away without Wachowski knowing. Wachowski tells him to stay behind him, but realizes that Sonic is already on top of the open shelving. Wachowski shakes his head at his idea, but Sonic nods and jumps on the drone to disorient it.
	+ Sonic tells Wachowski that he's got it right where he wants it as the drone keeps shooting aimlessly around the house. Wachowski cowers under the dining table and Sonic remarks at how he believes that Amazon will one day deliver package with drones.
	+ The drone continues to shoot aimlessly and starts to spin Sonic around. Wachowski finds an opening right as Sonic realizes that this was a bad plan. Wachowski grabs a plate from the dining table right as Sonic let go of the drone and hits it twice, destroying it.
	+ Wachowski picks Sonic up and runs outside the house. As he runs to his truck, Sonic taunts the drone, asking it if that's all it got and to let it know if it wants round two. Wachowski pulls out of his driveway, and drives off right as Agent Stone and the rest of Robotnik's team arrive at the scene.
* Stone gets out of his vehicle and sees the truck driving away, and looks towards the direction of the house. He rushes inside to check if Robotnik is okay.
* After helping him back up, Stone tells him that he saw a guy race out of the scene, and Robotnik adds on to his sentence, indirectly telling him that he should've stopped him. Stone tells him that he wanted to make sure he was okay. As he's talking, Robotnik puts his hand in his mouth and pulls Stone towards him, reminding him that the hardest thing about being the smartest is that everyone else seems stupid. Robotnik relays the plan to him, telling him they need to secure it, neutralize it, and uncover it's power. Robotnik tells Stone to call Optical Illusions to get him new frames and to take the quill with them.
* Wachowski and Sonic drive past the Green Hills road sign.
* Wachowski interrogates Sonic, asking what was his deal. Sonic tells him that he's in trouble and that he needs to get his rings back. After Wachowski asks what those are, Sonic explains to him that the rings are how all advanced civilizations travel between worlds and that he needs them back to get to the Mushroom Planet and asks him to take him to San Francisco.
* Wachowski pulls over, opens the passenger door, and tells Sonic to get out, to his confusion. Wachowski explains to him that this was the worst possible time to get in trouble and that he already saved his life. Sonic reluctantly gets out of the car, but stands there. Sonic tells him that he doesn't know where San Francisco is and Wachowski tells him that it's directly west.
* Sonic tells Wachowski that he now feels cool saying goodbye now and runs directly west. Wachowski witnesses Sonic's speed and scoffs.
* Sonic hits the Pacific Ocean and sinks into the water. As he sinks, he starts to think about his situation and comes to the conclusion that he can't do this on his own and needs Wachowski's help. He gets out of the ocean, with seaweed and a fish on his head, and runs directly back to Wachowski.
* To Wachowski, Sonic immediately comes back and is now seen with seaweed on his face and a fish on his head. Sonic blames Wachowski for him still being here and begs for his help. Wachowski hesitantly invites Sonic back into the truck and Sonic shakes the seaweed off. Sonic enters the truck and yells out "Road trip!" as Wachowski asks himself what is he doing.
* Now on the road, Wachowski sets up some rules for the trip to San Francisco and reiterates the fact that Sonic has been spying on them for years. Sonic says it's more like they were all hanging out except no-one knew he existed. Wachowski is astonished by the fact that Carl was right all this time and Sonic tells him that they should call him "Super Observant Carl" instead.
* Sonic looks at his surroundings and sees a billboard for the world's largest rubber band ball and asks Wachowski to stop. Wachowski reminds him that this wasn't some family road trip and that this was very serious. Sonic looks at him and quickly runs over there to check it out. While there, he realizes that the sign was lying about the size of the rubber band balls and takes a few souvenirs for the ride. Sonic runs back to the truck (with only a second passing for Wachowski) and admits that he was right. He asks him when they'll get there and Wachowski tells him that they will get there when they do.
* Robotnik and his team stop by the Green Hills Sheriff's Department to find any leads on Wachowski's whereabouts. They then ask everyone, including Whipple, some questions about Wachowski before staying to see if Wachowski would call the station.
* A new proposed coffee bean tax is backlashed by the public.
* At night, Wachowski pulls over at a pit stop and gets out of his truck. Wachowski heads over to the passenger window and tells Sonic that he's going to check in on Wade Whipple. Sonic asks how he's going to do that and if that glass box was a teleportation box. Wachowski turns around and looks back at Sonic, telling him that is a Payphone, and to stay in the car.
* Wachowski heads over to the payphone and steps inside.
* Sonic imitates car sounds and plays with the steering wheel until he notices the commotion happening right next to him at Piston Pit. Sonic gasps and ducks under the window and tries to convince himself to stay in the car. Sonic looks back up.
* Wachowski calls the Green Hills Sheriff's Department from the payphone. Whipple picks up and Wachowski says that it's him. Whipple tells him that some guys came in and asked him a few questions and that they reminded him of *Men in Black*. Wachowski pleads with Whipple to not tell them that they talked. Whipple turns to look at Robotnik and says to Wachowski that they already know.
* Two motorcyclists bump heads with each other as they greet each other before heading inside.
* Inside, two women are arm wrestling as a crowd of onlookers watch. One of the women wins and the crowd cheers.
* Sonic breathes into the window and clears it to get a better view of the scene.
* A Hi-Riser pulls in as a crowd gathers around the vehicle. The passenger and driver waves at the crowd.
* Sonic moves up and down on the driver's seat, trying not to be tempted and tells himself to be strong.
* As a motorcyclist does multiple donuts, Sonic looks around in the truck and notices a pair of sunglasses on the sun visor. Sonic gets an idea and smirks.
* Robotnik grabs the phone and greets Wachowski. Robotnik tells him about the time his school bully had punched him in the face and how he had used technology to cripple his bully so badly that he had to eat through straws for a year. Whipple sneaks a look at Robotnik while he's talking. Robotnik tells Wachowski that he had never lost a fight until he had punched him in the face again. Wachowski jokingly celebrates this and Robotnik reiterates to him, saying that he was about to become the bully with the straw and that he's coming for him.
* Wachowski hangs up the phone in the middle of Robotnik's sentence. Robotnik notices this, and speaks through the phone a few more times.
* Whipple tells Robotnik that Wachowski had actually hung up because he had noticed that the light wasn't lit up anymore and offers to get an outside line. Robotnik stops him, sarcastically telling him to not bother and to sit there and be "u"seless.
* Robotnik and co. exit the office as Whipple asks if they were going to erase his memory. Whipple yells, saying that he is going to tell people about this encounter.
* Wachowski exits the fueling station after buying food for the night and notices Sonic isn't in the truck. He looks around and notices the *Piston Pit* right across the street. Worried, Wachowski enters the roadhouse.
* Inside, Wachowski looks around the bar for Sonic and notices a small person with a hat and jacket on. Wachowski walks over to the person and slightly kicks the barstool to get his attention. Sonic turns around and greets Wachowski, who tells him that they're leaving. Sonic begs for Wachowski to let him stay for a little while longer and promises not to say anything for the rest of the trip. The waitress walks by and asks the duo if they want anything. Sonic tells the waitress that he wants nachos and guac while also remarking that the word itself sounds funny. The waitress turns over to Wachowski and tells him that kids aren't allowed in the roadhouse. Wachowski lies, saying that Sonic was actually in his 40s and that he has a rare skin disease. The waitress is convinced and Wachowski asks her to get Sonic a Mello Yello.
* After the waitress leaves, Wachowski tells Sonic that he owes him one. Sonic remarks how he has never sat on a barstool before and spins around as Wachowski sits down. Wachowski asks Sonic if he was gonna check this out of his "bucket list". Sonic asks him what a bucket list is and Wachowski explains to him that a "bucket list" is a list of things that a person wants to do in their life before they "kick the bucket". Sonic steals a note pad from one of the patrons and writes down a list of things to do as he mumbles to himself. He suddenly stops and tells Wachowski that there was so many things on Earth that he wasn't able to do and that he missed his chance. Wachowski ponders for a moment and says to Sonic that this was the type of place to get a lot of things done in a short period of time and decides to spare an hour.
* Wachowski throws a dart directly at the center of the target. Sonic pulls up his sleeve and throws multiple darts all at once, completely missing the target and hitting a few Corona cans, to both Wachowski and the waitress's shock.
* Sonic crosses out "Compete in a sport" on his bucket list.
* Sonic gets on the mechanical bull attraction and the difficulty is set to easy mode. Sonic asks if the bull is missing a head or if it has two butts as Wachowski fake yawns. Sonic states that this is easy and Wachowski uses a token to set the difficulty to "Deadly Desperado", making the mechanical bull go faster as Sonic holds on for dear life. Wachowski laughs as Sonic says he's a cowboy.
* Sonic loses his grip on the bull and crashes somewhere nearby. Wachowski looks towards his direction as Sonic zips back onto the bull and tells him that he's okay.
* Sonic crosses out "Tame a wild animal" on his bucket list.
* Sonic and Wachowski head over to the basketball minigame. Wachowski starts throwing basketballs to the net and starts gaining points. Sonic sneakily takes off his disguise and curls up into a ball as Wachowski picks him up. Wachowski throws Sonic and soon realizes it's him as Sonic uncurls and uses his speed to trigger the points counter while placing his feet in and out of the net. Sonic exclaims "A new high score!" to Wachowski as he looks on.
* Sonic crosses out "Do a SLAM DUNK" on his bucket list.
* Wachowski and Sonic heads to the dance floor.
* Wachowski and Sonic dance along with the crowd. While dancing, they both imitate a cowboy swinging his lasso.
* As they dance with the flow, Sonic takes off his hat and bumps into a lady's rear end as he cheers. The lady turns around and Wachowski, not knowing what just occurred below him, cheers at the lady. The lady spills her drink to his face and Wachowski stops hollering.
* At the table, Wachowski uses a napkin to clean his face as Sonic laughs at him.
* Three thugs notice the duo and decides to head over to their table.
* Wachowski takes a drink as Sonic tells him that he's having the best day of his life and asks what could go wrong. Wachowski notices one of the thugs behind Sonic and asks him if he needs anything. The thug tells the two that they don't like their "kind" around the roadhouse. Sonic asks them what they mean by that, and the thug says "hipsters".
* Sensing a fight bound to happen, Wachowski tries to compromise with them and tells them that they'll leave. Sonic stops him and assures him that he knows exactly what to do in this situation. Sonic grabs Wachowski's bottle and monologues for a bit before attempting to knock the thug out in one hit. When that doesn't work, Sonic desperately tries to get the bottle to break by tapping it multiple times on the thug's forehead. Wachowski tries to talk with Sonic as the thug prepares to punch the hedgehog.
* **Brawl at *Piston Pit***:
	+ Sonic sees what the thug is doing and ducks, with the punch hitting Wachowski instead.
	+ Due to the punch, Wachowski is pushed into another person, who spills his drink on another patron as a result.
	+ A fight breaks out as multiple people start fighting with each other. Wachowski fights off a few patrons, with one of them being hit by another patron.

	+ The thug punches Wachowski in the face, making him stumble into another group of thugs that carries him away as Sonic asks where the waitress is with his buffalo wings.
	+ The roadhouse band looks on as everyone else fights each other.
	+ A few patrons fight near the mechanical bull attraction.
	+ Sonic notices the thug as he cracks his knuckles. He then runs up to the thug and attempts to punch him quickly several times and lands behind the thug. Sonic blows at his knuckles and sees the thug charge straight towards him.

	+ Wachowski is cornered by two thugs, with one holding him back and the other forming a fist.
	+ Due to the fight, the waitress accidentally spills an order of chili dogs and nachos, along with sparklers, as a patron bumps into her.
	+ Using his speed, time slows down around Sonic as the thug closes in. Sonic studies the man and runs out of his disguise.
	+ Sonic runs around the roadhouse and looks at everything going on around him. Sonic runs past a few patrons and sneaks a photo on another patron's phone before running elsewhere.
	+ Sonic runs past the mechanical bull, watching the patrons frozen fight. Sonic runs into a boot in the middle of its motion.
	+ Sonic finally runs to where Wachowski was fighting and sees that he needs help. Sonic hops from one patron and pulls down the thug's beanie. He then bounces off his belly, and wedgies the other thug onto the metal bird. Sonic then pushes Wachowski over to the bar stand and runs elsewhere.
	+ Sonic finds the waitress and notices the batch of chili dogs flying out in slow motion. He decides to try some and eats all of the chili dogs. Sonic burps and takes the sparklers and the ketchup and mustard, and runs toward another patron.
	+ Sonic sprays both the ketchup and mustard onto three patrons' faces and heads. Once he's done, Sonic places the sparklers in the patron's ears.
	+ Sonic takes all the toilet paper rolls and wraps them around two patrons near the bathrooms. He looks at his handiwork.
	+ Sonic takes a ceiling decoration and tangles it around every other patron in the roadhouse. He runs on the ceiling and twists it on a ceiling fan.
	+ Sonic runs on the wall and takes a bear head from its stand and places it on the thug's head. He puts his disguise back on and takes a napkin from one of the tables.
	+ Back in normal time, the ceiling fan twists the decoration around, making most of the patrons trip.
	+ Sonic yells out "Olé!" as the thug continues to charge past him and crashes into the window, which causes him to trip and fall outside.
	+ The thug punches the blinded thug and his sudden wedgie pulls the metal bird statue towards him, hurting his rear end. The thug yells out.
	+ Wachowski stumbles at his sudden movement and looks around him. He is astonished at the scene and watches as a patron covered in toilet paper yells out and trips on another patron, causing him to fall on the floor.
	+ Sonic zips back to Wachowski and asks if they should get out of there. Wachowski agrees and the duo run outside.
* Running past the unconscious thug, Sonic expresses his excitement at the recent event and throws his hat away. He then asks if they paid their tab and states that it doesn't matter.
* Approaching Wachowski's truck, Sonic slides on the front of the truck before throwing himself inside. Wachowski starts the truck as one of the patrons yells out to them. Sonic yells back at them as Wachowski backs up.
* As the food at the front of the truck falls out, Sonic tells Wachowski that he thinks the patrons liked him. The patrons continues to chase the truck and stops once the truck is out of sight.
* Wachowski and Sonic holler, celebrating their escape. Wachowski finally notices pain on the side of his face as Sonic states that they got him pretty good. Wachowski says that he's been hit harder as Sonic notes that the next person that uses the bathroom won't have any toilet paper to use. Wachowski chuckles.
* At a motel, Wachowski puts a few ice cubes on a wet towel as Sonic monologues about the bar fight. Sonic crosses off "Start a bar fight" on his bucket list as Wachowski sits on the bed and gives a wet towel to him.
* Wachowski puts the "ice bag" on his face and groans. Sonic mimics his actions.
* Sonic asks Wachowski what are they going to do next, with the former saying that he is going to pass out while watching TV and that he should too. Sonic pleads to him, saying that this was his last night on Earth and that he wants to soak up every second. Wachowski tells him to find something to do in the room.
* Using his speed, Sonic does multiple things at once; he has a pillow fight with himself, he spins a picture frame over and over, he changes the tv channel multiple times, he takes out the toilet paper while also flushing the toilet multiple times, he empties out a tissue box, and puts himself in a drawer.
* Sonic takes a quick shower in the bathroom and comes out with a towel wrapped over him. Sonic sits on the bed and farts, making Wachowski complain. He asks Sonic what he ate, and the hedgehog tells him he ate a chili dog. Wachowski tells him that he should check his fur before laying down on the bed and asks him what the Mushroom Planet is like.
* Sonic tells him that the planet is not like Earth at all; a planet that has breathable air with giant mushrooms, but has no people. Wachowski makes a pun, telling Sonic that he won't be the only fungi. Sonic realizes what he means, and tells him not to do that again as Wachowski chuckles.
* Sonic reminisces about Earth, saying that he's going to miss this place and contemplates about his mentor's advice. He wonders if he could have a life here as Wachowski tenderly looks at the hedgehog. He then gets up and says that they should go to sleep now as Sonic tells him that he's going to stay up all night. Wachowski reminds him that they should be on the road by 8:00 and turns around to see a passed out hedgehog.
* On the TV, the KDPD6 Anchor covers the controversial coffee bean tax.

#### 14th

* Tom Wachowski and Sonic the Hedgehog continue their drive to San Francisco, California.
* After watching the news, Maddie Wachowski tries to call Tom's phone, only to receive no answer.
* Ivo Robotnik and his team arrive at the *Piston Pit*.
* Two repairmen carefully replace the broken window as Stone tries to interrogate an injured thug, who refuses to tell him anything about Tom Wachowski. Robotnik butts in and tells Stone to stand down and that the thug doesn't understand the urgency of this matter, prompting the former to stand up.
* Robotnik throws the thug outside, destroying the newly replaced window. He and Stone exit the roadhouse and Robotnik tells him that this is "Good cop and Bad cop" and opens his palm. Stone tries to high-five him, only for Robotnik to suddenly punch him in the stomach. Robotnik comments, telling Stone that he left himself open as he recovers from the punch.
* Inside the truck, Robotnik calculates the approximate location of Wachowski and the creature. The screen shows them nearing the northern California state line as Stone complements Robotnik. Robotnik thanks him and mumbles "..for nothing".
* Wachowski and Sonic drive past the California welcome sign and enters the Siskiyou County line.
* Sonic asks Wachowski what's his bucket list. Wachowski reflects, reminding Sonic that he's the one leaving Earth and not him. Sonic insists, saying that he is a danger magnet and calls himself Wachowski's best friend. Wachowski tells him that, even though he likes him, Sonic is not his best friend. The hedgehog remarks that Wachowski had tucked him in the previous night but then changes the title to "best **animal** friend", with Wachowski saying that belongs to his dog Ozzie. Sonic changes the subject and asks for his bucket list again.
* Wachowski gives in to Sonic's request and tells him that there is one thing in his bucket list. He tells to Sonic that he has always felt like a babysitter in Green Hills and that he wants to prove himself under real pressure before admitting to him that he plans on moving to San Francisco and become a street cop. Sonic gives a shocked expression and asks Wachowski why he's leaving Green Hills, with the former trying to explain that the town itself is very small. Sonic argues that it has hundreds of people and that they need him. Wachowski tells him that he has always cleaned out their gutters and helped jump-start their cars and that they can always find another person to do that job. Sonic argues that, yes, they can call anybody else, but they call him instead. Wachowski notes this and turns back to look at the road, thinking.
* **Highway Ambush**:
	+ Robotnik activates his wireless connection with his Badniks and chooses the Egg-Tank to ambush the duo.
	+ The Egg-Tank drives into the highway and begins to track Wachowski's truck, with Robotnik controlling the Badnik from his location.
	+ Meanwhile, Sonic tries to convince Wachowski that his home town has a lot of great people and that there are zero bad guys trying to kill him as Wachowski tries to calm him down.
	+ The Egg-Tank accelerates, passing by car after car until it catches up with Wachowski's truck.
	+ Sonic asks Wachowski what could possibly be more important than protecting the people he cares about. Wachowski thinks for a moment.
	+ Robotnik presses a button to take out the Egg-Tank's harpoon and aims at the truck. The harpoon fires as Wachowski starts to talk to Sonic and directly hits the truck's dashboard, startling the two. Robotnik hollers at successfully capturing the truck.
	+ Wachowski tries to loosen the harpoon's grip on the truck by driving side to side on the road lanes. Robotnik presses another button to retract the harpoon to bring them in. Sonic tells Wachowski that he was wrong about him and that he's more like the "Jerk Lord" instead. Wachowski reminds him of the harpoon stuck in his dash before accelerating to try and loosen the harpoon again.
	+ The pick-up truck is forcibly pushed onto the guardrail, sending Sonic out the window and landing on the front of the truck. Sonic frustratedly tells him that he was forced from his home and that Wachowski was leaving his perfect home and asks why he would do that as his quills start to glow and crackle with Chaos Energy. Wachowski notices this and Sonic gets worried.
	+ Wachowski tells Sonic to hold on as he accelerates the truck, causing the hedgehog to get launched from the vehicle and performs a spin-dash directly at the Egg-Tank, destroying it. Wachowski turns the truck around to check on Sonic.
	+ Sonic uncurls and picks himself up from the ground before realizing what he just accomplished. He flosses as he indirectly taunts Robotnik and Wachowski asks him how he survived. The hedgehog replies, saying he has no idea and asks if he saw him dancing, with the former saying he did.
	+ Sonic yells out to the tank, asking if that was all he got. Robotnik, watching the events unfold, responds by switching to the Egg-Buggy stored inside the tank. Sonic hears this happening and Wachowski tells him to get back in the truck. The hedgehog tells him that he'll catch up and runs back inside the truck as it's driving away.
	+ The Egg-Buggy exits the tank and chases after Sonic and Wachowski, with the hedgehog remarking that the tank just had a baby.
	+ The Egg-Buggy aims at the truck and shoots out an EMP disc. Sonic yells out to Wachowski, who switches lanes just in time. The EMP heads straight towards a minivan in front of the truck.
	+ Two siblings fight over a tablet as the father of the two tells them to quiet down or he's confiscating the tablet.
	+ The EMP disc attaches itself to the minivan causing it to lose control. The car spins around as the family inside screams. Once the spinning stops, Wachowski's truck drives past them as the brother hands over the tablet.
	+ Sonic crawls toward the back of the truck as Wachowski asks him where he's going. He tells Wachowski to keep driving the car and that he's got this and that if he doesn't make it, ditch him.
	+ The Egg-Buggy fires several more EMPs as Sonic jumps out and runs towards the first two. He grabs one and throws it away as he jumps on two others and rides them. Sonic grabs the last EMP disc and jumps atop the Egg-Buggy.
	+ Sonic looks into the camera and yells out, startling Robotnik. He welcomes Robotnik to his "livestream" before yelling out the first step to destroying robots and places the EMP directly on the camera and runs back to the truck. The Egg-Buggy malfunctions and crashes on the side of the road as Sonic cheers, saying they did it.
	+ The Egg-Unicycle comes out from the flaming Egg-Buggy and begins to chase the duo, with Sonic retracting his victory statement and asks who Robotnik is.
	+ Back at his truck, Robotnik says out loud "Ever wonder where your tax dollars are going?"
	+ Wachowski tells Sonic to keep driving for him as he grabs a pipe from the back of the passenger seat. The Egg-Unicycle extends its spikes and accelerates towards the truck as Wachowski opens the door and attempts to hit the Badnik. Wachowski misses and Sonic changes lanes as he recommends for him to turn into a ball and smash the robot. Wachowski exclaims his surprise at Sonic's driving skills and asks him where'd he learn how to drive. Sonic responds, saying that he was just learning as he reads the owner's manual of the truck. Sonic changes lanes again and Wachowski attempts to hit the Badnik again. He then asks Sonic to bring the Badnik closer so he can hit him and to hit the brakes, with the hedgehog pressing on the accelerator before finally hitting the breaks.
	+ The Badnik collides into the passenger door, causing it to be temporarily disoriented. Wachowski sees the chance and finally hits the Badnik once, causing it to shut down and crash on the highway. Wachowski puts himself back in the truck after seeing the Badnik destroyed.
	+ Robotnik frustratedly yells out after seeing his Egg-Unicycle destroyed, asking to give him a break. He activates the Egg-Copter as a last resort.
	+ The Egg-Copter flies out of the eye hole of the Egg-Unicycle and catches up with the truck. Sonic sees the tiny Badnik outside of the passenger window and asks Wachowski if they can keep it. The Badnik begins to saw off the entire front-face of the truck, to both their frustration. The sawed off windshield of the truck flies off and hits the pavement as the duo screams.
	+ The tiny Badnik flies toward Sonic, who grabs it and pulls out its wings, unintentionally starting a timer inside the robot. The Badnik starts beeping as Sonic notes that doesn't sound good, with Wachowski confirming that the beeping is bad and to throw it anywhere. Sonic tries to, but realizes that the robot is stuck to his glove. Wachowski decides to pull over.
	+ Now on the side of the road, Sonic uses his speed and tries to quickly get the robot off his glove. Wachowski grabs a red cloth and runs over to the hedgehog, who hasn't noticed the robot on top of his head. Wachowski uses the cloth to grab the robot and throws it off into the forest. Sonic imitates a baseball announcer until he notices the Badnik stuck on Wachowski's hand. Wachowski tries to forcibly shake the robot off his palm until Sonic runs up to Wachowski and grabs the robot before attaching it to a stick and places it on a nearby rock, exclaiming that he did it before the Badnik explodes right behind him, knocking him unconscious and sending Wachowski off his feet temporarily.
* Wachowski gets a view of his surroundings and sees Sonic unconscious. He runs over to him and checks to see if he's still alive before promising that he'll be okay and continues the drive to San Francisco.
* Meanwhile, Robotnik breathes heavily, trying to contain his anger, as he oversees the duo. Stone enters the truck and asks Robotnik if he got them, until he takes a second look at the screen and sees that they're still alive, commenting that they're real survivors. Robotnik slowly turns his head to look at Stone and asks him if they can have a moment before ordering him to pin himself against the wall. Robotnik makes it clear to Stone that he won't miss him when he's gone and that he prefers his Badniks over humans themselves, stating that they're everything to him. He notices a glow inside Stone's suit and takes it out, noting the quill's glow in Japanese before getting slightly shocked after trying to taste it. He offers it to Stone.
* In Green Hills, Zimmer's cow Bessie goes into labor.
* Wachowski arrives in front of Rachel's house and wraps an unconscious Sonic in a towel before heading to her doorstep.
* Tom knocks on the door and Rachel answers it before realizing it's him and tries to close the door on him. Tom tries to tell her that it's an emergency, but Rachel continues to shut him out until Maddie arrives and tells Rachel to stop before letting him in. Rachel yells that she is going to call the police, the FBI, or the CIA, before telling Tom that she is going to call his mother. Maddie asks Tom what's going on and that she was trying to call him, with Tom saying that he had to ditch his phone.
* Jojo arrives to greet Tom, who greets her back. Rachel grabs her daughter and tells Tom that his niece is now an accessory to treason. Maddie tells Rachel to calm down, who tells her that she cannot, and begin arguing with each other. Ozzie walks into the room and starts barking at the covered-up hedgehog and tries to tug at it. Tom greets Ozzie and Rachel asks if that is plutonium, with Tom telling her yes for her to shut up before trying to ask Maddie if they can talk in the other room. Ozzie tries to tug at the towel again as Rachel and Maddie argue again before Ozzie successfully takes the towel and reveals the unconscious Sonic. Rachel faints at the sight of the creature, to Tom's relief, who then asks Maddie for a glass of water.
* Tom places an unconscious Sonic on top of the kitchen table as Maddie looks for her emergency kits.
* Meanwhile, Robotnik puts on his headphones and plays "Where Evil Grows" from his "Tunes of Anarchy" playlist on a special hologram before spinning around in his chair.
* Robotnik, using one of his machines, puts the quill under a light and studies it before grabbing the quill and rolling to the other side of the room, and turns on his power analyzer. He then takes out a pair of nose pliers and sticks them to both ends of the quill, which causes it to send out a small burst of energy before the electricity malfunctions. Robotnik turns on his lighter and goes to the circuit breaker to turn on the backup power before resuming his music and breaks into a dance.
* Robotnik heads to the center of the room and presses a few buttons on the control pad to place the quill in the analyzer before setting the holographic background to a snowy setting and pretends to snowboard.
* The power analyzer continues to measure the quill's power levels.
* Robotnik changes the setting to a T-Rex chase in a city, and pretends to run from the dinosaur before throwing his headphones and faces the dinosaur. He depicts his head getting chomped and continues to dance to the song.
* The power analyzer finalizes its energy measurement results.
* Stone enters the truck with two cups of steamed Austrian-Goat milk lattes and watches as Robotnik does a few robotic dance moves. Robotnik turns around and is startled by Stone's appearance, who offers him latte as a response. Robotnik grabs the latte while yelling at Stone that he likes the way he makes lattes as the power analyzer beeps. The duo walks towards the analyzer and Robotnik tells Stone to "ready the prototype" and adds that with the quill, his machines can now reach their full potential.
* Tom reassures Jojo that Sonic will be okay as Maddie enters the kitchen with her first-aid kits. Tom asks Maddie if he was going to be okay, with Maddie telling him that she doesn't even know what she's looking at. Tom tells her that he's a hedgehog according to him, surprising Maddie. She then takes his pulse and is surprised that it's so fast. Tom suggests that this might be normal for him as Maddie notes that Sonic doesn't seem to have broken bones and that he's just banged up. Jojo looks at the hedgehog's old shoes and decides to grab a new pair from upstairs.
* In the living room, Rachel begs Jojo to untie her as she walks upstairs, with her saying she needs the bathroom.
* Tom continues to ask Maddie if Sonic was going to be okay and if he was going to wake up soon. He then remembers about smelling salts and asks her if she has any for cats or parakeets. Maddie says that she doesn't, but that she has human smelling salts instead.
* Maddie breaks the smelling salt and holds it near Sonic's nose as Tom hopes for the hedgehog to wake up.
* Sonic gasps and yells out "Gotta go fast!" before running around the entire kitchen and making a ruckus before stopping in front of the couple. Sonic worriedly asks them what year is it and if The Rock was president. Tom calms him down and Sonic says hello to "Pretzel Lady", to Maddie's bewilderment. Maddie asks Tom if she could talk to him and drags him out of the kitchen before asking the "space hedgehog" to stay there and try to rest. Sonic tells her that he is great at resting and continues talking as she closes the sliding doors.
* Maddie asks Tom if he had noticed that she had done a great job of remaining cool the entire time. Tom acknowledges that and gives her a high-five before Maddie asks him what is going on. Tom reminds her of what Carl had said about the "Blue Devil" which makes Maddie connect the dots and asks Tom what he's doing here. Tom tells her that he had shot Sonic with the tranq gun and that the situation is kinda hard to explain, but that he had promised to take him to the Transamerica building. Rachel, overhearing the conversation, scoffs at this and tells Maddie that her husband has lost his mind and to divorce him right now and that no one will judge her for it.
* Jojo arrives at the kitchen with a new pair of shoes and offers them to Sonic, who is grateful of the gift and reminds himself to check that off his bucket list later. He puts on the shoes and moves around on the dining table as Jojo giggles.
* Maddie reconciles with the situation and recalls Tom saying that he wanted to help real people in need. She asks if blue alien hedgehogs still counted as people, with Tom saying "I think so too". Tom tells Maddie that he loves her and that he doesn't deserve her, with Rachel stating that she knows as the couple leaves the living room.
* At Jojo's room, Sonic formally meets Ozzie and claims that he doesn't see the appeal in him being Tom's best friend. Ozzie licks Sonic, who says that's gross as Jojo laughs from her bed.
* Tom grabs his stuff from his pick-up truck and goes back inside the house. He asks Maddie if her sister won't mind if they use her car, prompting Rachel to yell out in shock. Maddie tells him that she'll be fine and the couple goes to get Sonic as Rachel screams that this is her house.
* Nearing the Transamerica building, Sonic carelessly drives past several cars and ends up damaging Rachel's car. Sonic successfully parks near a parking meter as Tom asks Sonic if there was anything he didn't hit, with Maddie asking why did they let him drive. Sonic retorts, telling them that he got all of them there and asks for five stars before zipping next to the couple.
* The trio looks at the pyramid as Sonic asks if this was it. Tom confirms that this is the building as Maddie asks what happens now as Sonic zips towards the building. Maddie notes this right as Sonic runs back and tells them that they need a special key to get to the roof. Tom decides to abuse his status as sheriff to get to the roof of the building.
* Sonic closes the duffel bag as Tom and Maddie approach the receptionist. Tom tells the receptionist that they have a jumper on the roof and shows his sheriff's ID. The receptionist notes that he came all the way from Montana to which Tom states that's how serious it is. The receptionist gives him the card key and Tom thanks her.
* At the elevator doors, Maddie fixes her hair as she and Tom waits. A businessman and businesswoman wait with them. Sonic calls out to the couple, asking how much longer and that he can't breathe in the duffel bag. Sonic calls out again as the businesswoman asks the couple if they have their child in the bag. Tom responds, saying no at first, but then clarifies that it was a child, but not his. The businesswoman gives a concerned look as the businessman tries to clarify what he had said. Tom tells him to relax and that he's a cop, saying that he likes it in there and shakes the bag. Sonic retorts, asking why he would like it in there and that this was worse than the dog cage he had him in. Maddie zips the duffel bag closed as the two strangers walk away from the couple.
* On the roof, Tom opens the door to the roof and places the duffel bag down to unzip it. Sonic launches out of the bag coughing and asks what he was keeping in the bag. Tom then reminds him of their mission by asking what they were looking for. Sonic gets out of the bag and runs towards his bag of rings and holds one up. Maddie asks Sonic what happens now and Sonic tells her that all he has to do is think of the place he wants to go and throw the ring. Tom asks him if they did it, with Sonic confirming this. Tom then apologizes for not being able to complete his bucket list, with Sonic saying that it's okay and that he was able to complete the ones he needed the most. Maddie laughs at their interaction and tells the two that they are so cute, with them denying this and Sonic saying that they are living by their own rules and that includes expressing heartfelt emotions.
* Tom mentions to Sonic that he has to go now and that he and Maddie also have to go now too, with Sonic saying yeah. They both say goodbye to each other and Sonic turns to take out one of his rings, before apologizing to Tom about their argument earlier and says that it must be tough walking away from something you care about. Tom lowers himself down to his level and asks him if Sonic isn't sure he's ready to leave yet. Sonic responds that he doesn't want to go, but he can't stay because he'll cause more danger to others the longer he stays here. He tells Tom that these two days have been the best of his life. Tom gets back up and says that he'll miss him and Sonic thanks him for saving his life.
* **Chase of San Francisco**:
	+ Sonic turns around and takes out a ring and throws it. The ring starts to glow, but collides into a Flying Egg and falls to the ground. The flying drones close in as Sonic asks who left their "find my phone" on. Tom and Maddie back up from the wall.
	+ Sonic walks backwards as he looks at the drones and almost falls off the edge of the roof. He looks at the height below him and then looks back up once he hears something nearby.
	+ Robotnik flies in front of the trio and opens his windshield before welcoming Tom to San Francisco and asks if he's enjoying the clam chowder. Tom tells Maddie that this is the "government wack job" that keeps trying to kill them, and emphasizes "unsuccessfully" out loud to Robotnik. Maddie asks Robotnik what he's wearing, with him responding that it was a flight suit to prevent drag and modulate his body temperature. Tom adds on that Robotnik still is one and Robotnik sarcastically remarks back, saying that he was catching fire, and asks if Maddie has a name or if they should call her "collateral damage". Offended, Tom tells him to watch his mouth and threatens to punch him again.
	+ Impatient, Robotnik yells out that the time for talking is over. Sonic responds that his flying eggs are impressive and confidently says that he'll never catch him. Robotnik activates the prep phase for his Egg-Pod as his drones start to aim at the trio. Tom notes that he and Maddie are defenseless and Sonic reassures them that he knows what to do before using his speed to push both of them off the skyscraper.
	+ Tom and Maddie scream as Robotnik looks down in temporary shock, saying that he wasn't expecting that, but he was expecting the unexpected anyway and decides to press his red button.
	+ The Flying Eggs fire at the hedgehog, who then uses his super speed to slow time down around him. Sonic looks at an imaginary watch on his wrist and pats his foot before looking at the missiles and pushes them to the side.
	+ Robotnik's finger draws closer to the red button as Sonic uses two of the missiles as drum sticks to disturb the in-motion bullets and another missile. Sonic then grabs two more and jumps on top of two Flying Eggs to destroy them.
	+ Robotnik's finger draws even more closer as Sonic grabs two missiles and slides under another drone and destroys it.
	+ Robotnik finally presses the button, causing the entire Egg-Pod to draw energy from the quill to match Sonic's current speed. Robotnik steers the pod upward.
	+ Sonic turns two Flying Eggs to face and shoot each other before imitating shooting noises with his fingers.
	+ Now heading downward, Robotnik prepares a charged attack at Sonic and closes in on him. Sonic finally notices the Egg-Pod matching his speed and notices the attack too late. Sonic attempts to run away from the blast but is caught in it, which disturbs his current speed.
	+ Back in normal time, Sonic regains consciousness and realizes that he's at normal speed. The hedgehog then notices a ring falling right in front of him and tries to grab it. Realizing that the ring is out of reach, Sonic pulls out a quill and uses it to grab the ring before running downwards on the skyscraper.
	+ Sonic uses his speed to catch up with the falling couple and throws the ring behind them. Tom and Maddie are teleported to a farm back in Green Hills as Sonic tries to slow down his descent and makes contact with a tree before finally hitting the ground.
* Tom and Maddie crashes safely on top of a pile of hay inside a barn. Zimmer, hearing the commotion, checks to see what happened and greets Tom and states that he's right on time since his cow Bessie is about to give birth. The cow moos nearby as Tom asks for a minute of recovery.
* **Chase of San Francisco**:
	+ As Sonic recovers from the fall, Robotnik meets up with him and gives him a piece of advice: "Don't run. It'll hurt more if you do".
	+ Accepting the challenge, Sonic collects all of his rings and starts to run away from Robotnik, who puts on his goggles and notes, "The hard way it is" and goes after him.
	+ Sonic runs past several vehicles as Robotnik attempts to shoot charged energy attacks from behind. Sonic looks at Robotnik as he turns the corner. Robotnik grunts as he makes a hard left and states that was an illegal left. Robotnik shoots two more charged attacks at Sonic, who dodges both of them.
	+ Sonic runs in zig-zaggs as Robotnik continues to shoot at him. He then runs on an edge at the side of a building and jumps off (while doing a pose) as Robotnik shoots at him. Sonic slides down the wall of the opposite building and slides under a tour bus advertising Paris and the Eiffel Tower as Robotnik aims at the hedgehog. Sonic wonders how this was possible and takes out a ring.
	+ In Paris, France, a mime performs for a little girl. The ring portal appears behind the mime as he continues to perform, amazing the girl. Sonic yells out to them and goes through the portal. Robotnik follows close behind as the mime moves out of the way.
	+ Sonic uses a ring to teleport to the Great Wall of China to try to lose Robotnik, who chases him as the hedgehog traverses the wall. Sonic realizes he can't lose him and uses another ring to teleport to the Giza Pyramid Complex in Egypt. Robotnik shoots multiple times at Sonic, who stumbles at the impact of the blasts around him, and continues to run towards the three pyramids. He stops and decides to blind him with the sand and spins in circles around Robotnik before running up the Great Pyramid of Giza.
	+ Robotnik notes the lack of visual contact and notices Sonic running up the pyramid. Robotnik heads after the hedgehog again as he throws a ring back to Green Hills and runs towards it. Robotnik aims one last charged beam at Sonic and hits, sending the hedgehog through the portal.
* **Skirmish at Green Hills**:
	+ On the other side of the portal, Sonic crashes onto the street, with his rings sliding out further near the sidewalk.
	+ The citizens watch as Sonic comes through the portal and flee once they see the Egg-Pod coming through the portal.
	+ Tom, Maddie, and Zimmer arrive at the scene as Robotnik laughs and opens his windshield. He tells the hedgehog that he's an astounding creature and tells him what he might do to him back at the labs and asks for his last words. Tom picks up the bag of rings as Robotnik speaks. Sonic says that he liked the word "guac" and falls out of consciousness.
	+ Wachowski uses a ring to teleport behind Robotnik as he rambles on about the scientific breakthrough made with animal testing. He asks a rhetorical question to get Robotnik's attention and punches him in the face. The two have a scuffle on the pod as Robotnik asks him who does he think he is before Wachowski punches him again, saying that he is the "donut lord you son of a--" before getting punched on the chest.
	+ Robotnik uses the control stick to rotate the Egg-Pod around and knocks Wachowski off-board. Robotnik tells autopilot to adjust as Maddie goes to Tom. Robotnik asks Tom why he would throw his life away for the hedgehog and rambles, saying that this is why he doesn't have friends before getting back on topic. Wade Whipple arrives at the scene and shoots at the Egg-Pod, saying that's the sheriff he's messing with. Carl butts in with a chainsaw, continuing the sentence by also including the "Blue Devil" while adding that he is a very real creature. Whipple asks Carl to put the chainsaw away.
	+ Maddie brings Tom's attention to Sonic's lifeless body, who looks at him with a saddened expression. Robotnik says that they should get some ice and keep the body fresh while also stating that he's just a silly little alien, prompting Tom to get up and retort, telling him that Sonic knew more about being human than he ever will, that Green Hills was his home, and finally, that he was Tom's friend.
	+ Sonic opens his eyes and bursts with Chaos Energy upon hearing Tom's sentence. The couple turns around and notices the hedgehog get up from the ground as Robotnik shows a shocked expression. Tom and Maddie move out of the way to let Sonic face Robotnik on his own and tells everyone else to get back.
	+ Tails watches from his village as Sonic tells Robotnik that he has something that belongs to him and uses his powers to crack the protective glass containing the quill on the Egg-Pod and disables its limitless capabilities as Sonic takes back the quill's power. Sonic states that he was gonna use his power to protect his friends and not to run away anymore.
	+ Robotnik puts on his goggles and aims several of the Egg-Pod's missiles at the hedgehog, who begins to perform a crouch start and focuses on Robotnik.
	+ Robotnik fires all of his missiles at Sonic, causing damage to the surrounding area as the hedgehog dodges them all and jumps from wall to wall and hits the Egg-Pod. Sonic repeats this at an increasing speed multiple times, eventually cracking the windshield and further damaging the pod.
	+ Sonic bounces off of the front of the pod and slides to a stop in front of it, stating that he's not going to be the one leaving Earth and calls for the "Donut Lord". Wachowski, getting the subtle hint, runs behind the Egg-Pod and throws a ring that directly leads to the Mushroom Planet.
	+ Sonic smirks as Robotnik angrily charges at him, prompting Sonic to start running towards him.
	+ Sonic curls up into a ball and launches himself at the Egg-Pod, damaging it to a point where it's non-operatable and launching it through the ring portal. Robotnik screams as he's sent through the portal before it closes.
* Sonic's energy calms down as the citizens cheer for his victory.
* Wachowski runs up to the hedgehog, telling him that he got this. Sonic tells him that they got it, not just him. Wachowski motions for a high-five, which causes Sonic to gasp and run around before jumping to complete the high five.
* Sonic lands on the ground and looks at his hand, smiling, as Wachowski hands him his bag of rings back. Sonic goes to take them back until Wachowski brings it away from his hands and asks him to promise not to push people off buildings again. Sonic tells him that he knows he can't promise that and Wachowski gives him back his rings, telling him he did good. Sonic thanks him and calls him "Donut Lord", which Maddie asks the reason for. Tom tells her that it's just a secret between him and Sonic and states that they both got their thing and she has her thing with her sister, reminding them that they left Rachel tied up back in San Francisco.
* In San Francisco, Jojo runs around the house, yelling out "Gotta go fast!" as Rachel tiredly asks her to put on her Fitbit so that she can get a few steps.
* Maddie tells Tom that they can never go back there and Tom asks "...are we?" and states that this feels like home, to Maddie's surprise. Tom says that he feels like he checked "Save a life" off of his bucket list and looks at Sonic before telling her that now all he wants is to spend time with the people he cares about, saying that he wants to check that box. Maddie agrees and the two hug as Whipple tells the crowd to disperse, claiming that there was nothing to see and that this was an ordinary day in Green Hills as Tom, Maddie, and Sonic walk home.

#### 15th

* Tom and Maddie Wachowski move Sonic's stuff from his cave and into their attic, intending to surprise him and welcome him into their home.

#### 16th

* The Guardian Units of Nations is founded.
* At sunrise, the citizens of Green Hills continue their daily routines.
* Inside their house, Tom and Maddie Wachowski continue to renovate the living room.
* Tom asks Maddie if she has any paint left. Maddie says yes and Tom holds the paint roller above her and jokingly asks if she needs anymore. Maddie laughs and tells him to get that away from her and they continue to paint separate walls of the living room until they both hear a knock on the door.
* Tom opens the front door and is met with Commander Walters, who asks for their names. Walters takes out a letter and calls it a "token of appreciation" from the government for keeping quiet about recent events that "never occurred". The Wachowskis chuckle at this and take the letter as they both wonder what it is. They ask Walters, who tells them "You'll see", before opening the letter. They open it to see a Olive Garden gift-card, to their slight disappointment. Walters asks them if they have tried their never-ending pasta bowl, before emphasizing "it never ends". The Wachowskis chuckle and Tom says it sounds fancy, and Maddie thanks Walters for the kind gesture.
* Walters starts to leave until Tom says that they can close the file on Robotnik now, with Walters claiming that no such person has ever existed. Tom mumbles, saying that he wishes that were true. Walters then asks if they have been in contact with a certain alien creature since the incident, and that Uncle Sam would like to talk with him. The couple denies this, with Tom saying that he doubts they'll ever see him again. Tom closes the door as Walters tries to see if he can catch the hedgehog there until the door fully closes.
* Sonic pops out from behind the couch and asks the couple if they want to watch a movie. Maddie apologizes, saying that it's a school night and that it was time for him to go back into his cave. Surprised, Sonic flips onto the couch and states that it's three in the afternoon. Tom reminds him about how tired he can get and beckons him to get a move on. Sonic gets up and complains, saying they were uncool and heads towards the front door. Tom asks him where he's going and Sonic says that he told him to go back to his cave. Tom says that he did and the couple brings him upstairs.
* Tom opens the entrance to the attic and motions for Sonic to go up first. Sonic goes up the stars and is shocked by the new changes to the attic, seeing all of his stuff there. Sonic can't believe this and asks how they got all of his stuff in here. Tom and Maddie enter the attic and smile as Sonic runs around the room, asking about certain things, and jumps on his bed. Tom and Maddie sit on the bed with him and welcomes him home. Ozzie enters the attic and barks at Sonic, who tries to get him to leave, but ends up letting him stay after Ozzie licks his face.

#### 17th

* Tom Wachowski and Wade Whipple drive to Walla Walla, Washington for vacation, leaving Maddie and Sonic back in Green Hills.

#### 18th

* Maddie Wachowski heads to the veterinarian clinic and tells Sonic not to get in any trouble. Sonic sits on the couch with Ozzie and attempts to stay on the couch before giving up and decides to head to town. He tells Ozzie not to say anything as he runs out of the house.
* Sonic uses patches of snow on the ground to make a dramatic scene with a few snowmen before being seen by an elderly couple, who are in shock of the scene. Sonic then runs around in a donut shop and recreates Sergeant Sprinkles. He leaves the shop before the owner sees him, who complains about the mess Sonic made, and figures that it must've been teenagers. Sonic then finds a secluded spot in the town and self-narrates to the donut about how some of the townspeople either think he's an escaped government experiment or a mass hallucination, and ponders about being a real hero, suggesting "The Electric Hog" as an alias. Carl tells him that he believes "Blue Devil" to be the best name for him, and Sonic retorts, saying it was a better name than "Crazy Carl", before going back to his self-narration and complains about how boring his life is again.
* **Robbery of the First Bank of Walla Walla**: Meanwhile, in Walla Walla, Washington, Jason and his fellow bandits, under the orders of an anonymous client threaten several bank-tellers at the First Bank of Walla Walla. Jason "threatens" Lindsey, who is under-cover as a vault-teller, and demands the location of the vault. Jason opens up safety deposit box 203 and takes out a stored control glove. Jason decides to sow a little mayhem before he and his crew have to hand it to the client.
* At the edge of town, Tom Wachowski and Wade Whipple have a conversation with each other as they ice-fish on top of a frozen lake. Wachowski asks Whipple if every problem in their lives would be solved if they received absolute tranquility, with Whipple responding no, and asks Wachowski if he has ever considered asking the government for a police chopper. Wachowski tells Whipple that he's had enough airborne action ever since he and Maddie were dropped off a skyscraper. Whipple tells him that he'll keep waiting by the old police scanner and considers answering the call to adventure.
* **Robbery of the First Bank of Walla Walla**: On cue, the police scanner activates, with a police dispatcher telling any listener that there is an ongoing robbery at the First Bank of Walla Walla. Whipple expresses his excitement to Wachowski, who tells him to cool his jets and that he already has a hyperactive daredevil back at home. Whipple comments that he would look great with spikey hair.
* Back at Green Hills, Sonic eats a chili dog as he hears the news report about the robbery in Walla Walla and exclaims "Dude, yes way!" before running out of the house.
* Wachowski talks into the police scanner, telling the dispatcher that the Green Hills Sheriff's Department is en route to provide tactical support. After hearing this, the dispatcher asks for their location again in surprise.
* **Robbery of the First Bank of Walla Walla**:
	+ Inside the bank, Jason messes with the control glove as one of the bandits asks him about the escape route he promised. Jason tells him to be patient, as genius takes time.
	+ Behind the counter, Lindsey takes deep breaths, reminding herself that it'll be over soon. Just then, Sonic zips right next to her and responds, letting her know that it'll take the "Super Streak" a few minutes to take care of this. After a short moment of shock at the hedgehog's sudden appearance, Lindsey asks if that was the name he was going with, and Sonic tells her that he's still working on it and reiterates that he's more experienced with those creeps. Lindsey asks again if he can stop them, and Sonic tells her to point him in the right direction. Preparing a trap, she tells him that she thinks the leader is in the vault and Sonic runs straight in it.
	+ Sonic gets tased by Lindsey while distracted and she scolds Jason about how his screwing around has blown her cover and is attracting a weird rodent. Jason tells her that he was almost finished as she calls the client to tell them that she was made and that a "giant blue chipmunk" was sent after her. The client expresses their surprise at the description of the creature and tells her that they'd be willing to pay more if she also delivers the hedgehog in one piece. Lindsey demands a half million in Crypto as Sonic groans, wondering who she's talking to.
	+ Outside, Wachowski and Whipple arrive at the scene, with Whipple saying that this looks just like a movie. Wachowski tells him to get his game face on as they confront the police officer lady. They both ask her what they can do to be of assistance as Jason finally figures out how to use the control glove and sends out dozens of Flying Eggs to the top of the bank. The lady asks the duo if they can take care of those things, with Wachowski noting that they do have some experience.
	+ Inside the vault, Sonic worriedly runs around and tries to find a way out. He talks out loud, asking himself if the world wasn't ready for the "Spiny Sentinel" and tries to pull on the vault door as the drones attach itself to the vault inside and brings it out. Sonic loses his balance as the vault is brought out of the bank vertically as the cops outside witness this. Sonic, despite wondering if he was falling into a chasm or being lifted out, notes that this is very bad.
	+ Lindsey and Jason look at the newfound hole in the ceiling, with Lindsey asking Jason what can the glove also do. Jason exclaims that they should forget the buyer and just take the glove and everything the vault has for themselves. Lindsey agrees as she puts on the glove.
	+ Sonic starts running around inside the vault, causing it to spin rapidly. The spinning vault causes a large turbulence as the cops runs for cover outside. Inside the bank, Lindsey and Jason, confused at the situation, question what the drones are doing before the drones' harnesses lose their grip on the vault, causing it to fall back inside the bank. Sonic is knocked down by the impact and tells the vault that this is a draw.
	+ Jason asks Lindsey if the thing inside the vault won't last any longer, with her promising that she'll take care of it.
	+ Sonic decides to take a risk and attempt to spin-dash his way out of the vault while saying "Gotta go fast!". The vault door goes flying past the robbers as the hedgehog walks out of the vault and tells them that they have the easy way, or the hard way. He then calls himself "Hedgehog the Unkillable". Jason asks the hedgehog if that was supposed to intimidate them, with Sonic asking if that name was too "Avenging Vigilante". Lindsey uses this opportunity to figure out how to use the glove as the hedgehog talks.
	+ Coming out of their cover, Whipple states that the "exploding part" was finished, but that the drones weren't. Wachowski takes out his fishing rod and uses it to destroy the drone, yelling out that he's supposed to be on vacation. He then sees another drone heading inside the bank and attempts to grab the drone with the fishing line. Wachowski misses.
	+ Inside, Sonic tries to convince the robbers not to shoot him, but then ditches that plan and instead uses his speed to knock them all out while stating that no one will believe that they got bested by a 3ft tall hedgehog. Sonic then pins down Jason and interrogates him about the glove, with Jason claiming that he only read about it on the dark web. Lindsey sneaks up from behind, along with one of the Flying Eggs, and tells him that she has the "killer hook" and orders the drone to sick 'em. The drone disobeys the girl and aims for the glove in her hand instead, and lifts a frustrated Lindsey into the air.
* As Lindsey is lifted into the air, Sonic states that he only knows of one master those things obey, and jokes by telling her to keep slapping it and maybe she'll find a factory reset. He then runs over to the robbers and the victims of the robbery, and tells them not to mention him in the news reports but to tell their friends how awesome and strong he is. He then runs back to where Lindsey is and catches her before she falls to the ground, saying that even bad guys don't deserve broken necks. He then drops her as he monologues about the results of the failed robbery, and tells Lindsey that she'll do time, and settles on the name "Blue Justice," with Lindsey begging him to stop talking.
* Wachowski barges into the bank and demands the robbers' full and unconditional surrender. Jason and his fellow bandits comply with this order, with him adding that they all realized the error of their ways. Wachowski orders them to keep their hands where he can see them.
* The drone flies away from the scene, glove in hand, and notes that its mission is now completed, and heads home.
* Later, Wachowski and Whipple talk about Robotnik's tech. Whipple states that he's going to kill the next killer robot with a boomerang or a blow dart, with Wachowski wondering if there will be any more incidents like this one and to keep this quiet. The police officer lady offers them donuts as a thank you. Sonic runs by and steals the donuts in the box as the lady opens it, to her shock, and asks who raided the box.
* The drone arrives at Green Hills and drops off the glove, with a USB drive attached to it, to Stone, who is relieved that the glove is back to where it belongs and not to someone basic. He notices the USB drive and heads home to his laptop. He watches the USB's contents and finds out that it's a pre-recorded manifesto from Ivo Robotnik with step-by-step instructions to ingratiate himself into society and to prepare for his return.

#### 20th

* Following the manifesto's instructions, Stone arrives at Karen's Coffee and hands his resume to the owner and tells her that he had studied latte pouring at "Milan's Istituto del Caffè" as a barista. Karen takes his resume and rudely asks him if that makes any difference here.
* After being officially hired, Karen crumples up his resume as she tells him that he is only going to be paid absolute minimum wage, with George stating that he gets his cut of all the tips, and is sent to work.
* Stone presents his specialty to Karen: Goat-steamed Austrian milk, only for her to rudely spit it out at him in disgust, saying it tasted like cottage cheese and drops the cup on the floor. Brayden tells Stone that he's in Karen's world now and recommends him a podcast. Stone tells him that he has no time for that and promises that he'll be in control in a week.
* Later, Tina goes up to Stone as he's preparing a latte, and asks him to cover her shift for the weekend and claims that she has a "mega-important family function". Stone, thinking ahead, agrees to her request.

#### 22nd

* Stone tracks Tina down to a beach and sends out a couple of Badniks.
* Tina relaxes on the beach, oblivious as two Crabmeats disassemble her car behind her back.

#### 23rd

* At work, Karen hands the register keys over to Stone and tells him not to misplace a single dollar, with Stone reassuring her that he wouldn't. George confronts Stone, saying that he's not fooling him and that he'll be ready to knock him down. Stone reiterates that he's only here to serve the store, along with a few upgrades.

#### 24th

* Leaving for work, George is suddenly taken away by a fleet of Flying Eggs to an unknown location.

#### 25th

* At the café, Karen questions why her employees are going missing and orders Stone to pick up the slack. Brayden worriedly tells Stone that there's something spooky going on in town, with Stone reassuring him that he hasn't crossed the wrong people yet.

#### 26th

* Stone calls in an anonymous tip to the FBI and accuses Karen of money laundering.
* Several FBI agents arrives at Karen's doorstep as she's eating breakfast and arrests her on the spot. After telling her that she's being arrested for money laundering, Karen tells them that she runs a coffee shop, with one of the agents telling her to save it for her lawyer.

#### 27th

* With her crimes being an open-and-shut case, Karen receives a call from Stone in prison, who tells her it's a shame that the anonymous tip proved her crimes and that her coffee shop is in better hands. After he hangs up, Karen realizes that it was Stone who called in the tip.

#### 28th

* At the coffee shop, Brayden asks his new boss if he needs anything else. Stone, happy with the new changes, tells him that they'll be installing new equipment and that the shop could use a new name.

### June

#### 8th

* On the Mushroom Planet, Robotnik records on his daily log and shaves his entire head. He looks at his reflection on a small puddle of water, noting that his grasp of sanity remains absolute and looks at "agent Stone" (which is a rock with a carved face on it). Robotnik grabs "Stone" and tells it to get a headstart as he throws it, and tells it to do some "rock-connaissance" before laughing at his pun. Robotnik grabs his bag of materials and notes on his log that he has no supplies, no resources, and no apparent way home. He notes that a lesser man would die here, before adding that he'll be home for Christmas as he holds up the encased quill.
* Robotnik puts on his goggles and imitates a robotic walk as he walks towards "Stone" before throwing him onto another large mushroom before yelling out "Rock-connaissance!" and laughs, telling his "audience" to cheer up.
* Robotnik walks around, telling his audio log about his future plans for Sonic, and speculates that the hedgehog must think he has defeated him. He sees a blue mushroom and walks towards it, noting that he still requires sustenance regardless of his mechanically flawless physique as he takes off his goggles. He takes a bite out of the mushroom and finds it edible and "groovy".
* Thinking he found a solution to his predicament, Robotnik follows a trail of blue mushrooms and gathers a bunch of them until he comes across a cave full of them. Robotnik notes that he has found the "mother lode" and starts to pull out a mushroom, noting that he is the alpha life-form on this planet. His sentence is interrupted when a sentient mushroom creature from the root of the pulled out mushroom bites Robotnik's finger, who then kicks the mushroom creature, telling it to mind the food chain.
* Due to his sudden movement, a few more mushrooms are forced out, revealing more of the sentient mushroom creature. One of them bites Robotnik's index finger, causing him to back up from the wall. Robotnik sees his finger bleeding and notes that this might be problematic. He fights back and plucks out more mushrooms as he shouts at the creatures, giving them multiple analogies about how he's higher than them on the food chain before getting surrounded by them. Robotnik is almost engulfed until he forces his way out, refusing to perish in the cave, and encounters the largest mushroom creature next to him. Unfazed, Robotnik says that he doesn't find it intimidating until it screams at his face, with him noting this as a good attempt. Robotnik decides he has had enough of them and activates his portable flamethrower to roast the large mushroom creature and eventually the entire cave.
* Robotnik exits the ablaze cave, stating that he'll find a way off of this planet and to enact his revenge against his nemesis back on Earth and states "Two hundred days until Christmas!".

	+ Knuckles the Echidna finds Doctor Eggman after his scavengers are defeated by him. He is brought to Sonic the Hedgehog's location by Eggman and fights him there until Miles "Tails" Prower rescues him via police car. Knuckles engages in pursuit, hanging onto a cliff he stormed off of when Tails exited the car flying with Sonic in hand, having received a holographic message of Longclaw's telling about the Master Emerald, Sonic must travel with Tails to Siberia to find the Master Emerald Compass. Eggman arrives in a lawn mower to text agent Stone to deploy a satellite updating his army and appearance.
* Sonic and Tails engage in a dance battle in a Siberian bar when looking for shelter and while being spied on by the enemies as Tom engages in sport activities at Hawaii.

#### 12th

* Sonic and Tails enter a cave embedding the Master Emerald Compass featuring the story of the War for the Master Emerald. Retrieving said compass, Eggman and Knuckles apprehend them, leading to a chase on broken Flying Eggs as snowboards. After Eggman manages to equip the compass, an avalanche charges towards Sonic and Tails, who has been rendered unconscious. Sonic flees again with Tails in hand, calling Tom to open a ring portal. Because he has swapped rings with Jojo the ringbearer, Tom had to punch Randall to acquire it and throw it, resulting in a flood of snow surging throughout the area.
* **Ambush of Rachel's Wedding**:
	+ After Sonic and an unconscious Tails appear in Hawaii, Sam Walters, who attended the wedding in secret, unveils the Guardian Units of Nations, who captivate the duo and Tom, who tried to save them. They are taken inside the hotel as Sam Walters wanders off with information from Maddie, being told Eggman is still active. Maddie is given Tails' backpack by Jojo and develops the idea of using them against guarding agents, while Rachel focuses on confronting Randall, who is also an agent.
* When Walters and a depressed Randall have a conversation, Rachel drives a golf cart at top speed trying to hit her fiancé. When she walks up to him, Randall saves her from being tasered by Walters with Rachel threatening Walters with a weapon from Tails' backpack. Randall then performs a heartwarming conversation to Rachel before sharing a kiss.
* When Knuckles and Eggman arrive at an island nearby Hawaii, Knuckles plants the compass into the sand to unveil a Labyrinth, in which resides the Master Emerald, before Sonic, Tails and Tom are saved by Maddie. They see a giant energy beam emit from the others' location, evoking responsibility out of Sonic. Sonic thus runs over there, surpassing a maze with super speed, faster than the enemies who were struggling.
* **Duel at the Master Emerald Shrine**:
	+ Sonic and Knuckles engage in battle as Eggman steals the emerald and teleports to Green Hills with a shockwave that destroys the Labyrinth. The combatants save each other and make amends before Tails traveled to their location, piloting the *Tornado*, a biplane that towed a banner at Rachel's wedding.
* **Battle Against the Giant Eggman Robot**:
	+ Tom and Maddie Wachowski return to Green Hills with G.U.N. to meet a supercharged Eggman, who rips G.U.N.'s vehicles apart to create a giant robot replica of himself. The townspeople stare at the robot in awe and shock before it starts to destroy the neighborhood.
	+ Sonic, Tails and Knuckles appear, attacking the robot, but to no avail. They decide to team up, with Sonic having Tails and Knuckles take away the emerald as he lures Eggman towards him. The emerald lands close to him and he tries to reach, only to be rescued by Tom and Maddie Wachowski in a truck they borrowed from an inhabitant of Green Hills. Sonic uses the broken emerald, which are now the Chaos Emeralds, to send Eggman in a seeming demise and later forms a pact with his friends against anyone who tries to steal the emerald again.
* The Guardian Units of Nations search for Eggman at the scene of the battle, but he remained unfound. An agent reports to Walters that a file regarding a project dating back over 50 years has been found. Stone overhears this conversation.
* Shadow the Hedgehog, the end result of a government project, awakens as his capsule has been reopened.

### December

#### 12th

* Knuckles promises Maddie he'd return certain books before she receives late fees.
* Sonic is notified by Wade Whipple that there had been weird noises emitting from the Green Hills Junkyard at night.
* **Battle at the Green Hills Junkyard**: Team Sonic investigate the scene and discovers Unit, a Flying Egg Badnik upgrading itself to fulfill Eggman's wish of taking over the world. They fight it, and eventually bond with it, with Tails being allowed to own it as a pet. They afterwards leave to eat chili dogs.

Going with the movie's release year, this would place the main events in 2020 and the prologue ten years earlier in 2010. During the post-credits scene, Robotnik's log says it is "Day 87" since he was stranded on the Mushroom Planet. With the post-credits scene placed on June 8, 2020 (see other references), and with Robotnik's log saying "Day 87", this would place the Skirmish at Green Hills on March 14, 2020, and the road trip on the following days before.

Sonic is seen spying on Tom and Maddie doing their routines in the town; Tom doing his job as a sheriff, Maddie doing yoga, and movie night. These events can be taken to occur on separate days during Tom's shifts in the week, with movie night taking place during the weekend. During the montage, Carl is seen in Woody's Tavern showing a drawing of Sonic while also telling Tom, "I almost caught him last night". We then see Sonic outsmarting Carl's trap and escaping. This can be taken to be the night before. In the extended version of this scene, a shot of the full moon is shown as Carl is sleeping outside. This can be placed on March 9, 2020, which is the day of the full moon during the month, with Carl in the bar the following day on the 10th.

When Tom finds out that he's been accepted into the San Francisco police department, he's wearing his sheriff's outfit, and Maddie is wearing a light blue shirt, suggesting this takes place during the weekday and is separate from the movie night scene. The following scene shows Tom practicing his farewell speech to Sargent Sprinkles in the daylight, which can be taken to be the following day. Sonic is then seen spying on a baseball game in the daylight, and practicing during the nighttime before he causes a blackout.

Following this, the military sets up a camp site as they're investigating what had caused the blackout from before. In another scene, Tom is seen talking to Maddie about the blackout, which implies that it has been a recent event. The road trip to San Francisco is shown to be a 1 day trip, with Tom and Sonic stopping at the motel for the night before continuing to drive the next day. With the Skirmish at Green Hills taking place on the night of March 14th, and with Tom and Sonic arriving at San Francisco earlier that day, the motel scene can be placed on the night of March 13th, the blackout the night before on March 12th, and the SF letter on March 11th.

5. ↑ 5.0 5.1 5.2 5.3 5.4 5.5 5.6 5.7 The epilogue of *Sonic the Hedgehog* shows Green Hills in the aftermath of the climax of the Skirmish at Green Hills, with the road already cleaned up, and the Wachowski residence already being mostly fixed. It is shown that sometime after the battle, Tom and Maddie had found and taken Sonic's stuff into the attic, intending it to be a surprise. To give them more time to fix their house, and for the town to clean up the mess in the aftermath of the battle, it can be taken to take place during the following week of March 15-21, with the midpoint being March 18, 2020.

However, since the short story *Hedgehog Day Afternoon* is placed on that exact day (see other references), another calculation would place the epilogue on March 16, 2020 instead. Therefore, it can also be taken that both Tom and Maddie had found Sonic's hideout the day before on March 15, 2020.
6. ↑ In *Sonic the Hedgehog 2*, Sam Walters tells Maddie and Rachel, "After the events in San Francisco, a global task force was created... That day, Guardian Units of Nations was born." This line implies that G.U.N. was founded on the day Sonic was being chased by Eggman, which is placed on March 14, 2020 (see other references). However, March 14th was on a Saturday, and according to the OPM's official website, US federal agents don't work during the weekends. Therefore, it can be taken that G.U.N. was officially founded the following Monday; on March 16, 2020.
7. ↑ In *Hedgehog Day Afternoon*, there are numerous references that Tom is on vacation with Wade in Walla Walla, with both Maddie and Sonic mentioning their trip, Tom and Wade ice-fishing, and Tom stating that he's supposed to be on vacation during the robbery of the First Bank of Walla Walla. With Tom and Maddie fixing their house on March 16, 2020, and the main events of HDA occurring on March 18, 2020 (see other references), it can be taken that Tom and Wade drove to Walla Walla the day before, on March 17, 2020.

Though there's only been one force of evil so far..." and "I take down one megalomaniacal scientist and then it's back to a life of boredom," suggesting that his victory against Robotnik was recent. This is further supported when Wachowski tells Whipple, "I had enough airborne action when that nutjob dropped me and Maddie off a skyscraper." At the beginning of *The Secret of My Distress*, which is a direct continuation of *Hedgehog Day Afternoon*, a waning crescent moon is shown as Stone retrieves the Control Glove from the Flying Egg. With Robotnik's defeat placed on March 14, 2020 (see other references), along with the moon phase close to being 30% illuminated, it can be taken that *Hedgehog Day Afternoon* takes place on March 18, 2020.

*The Secret of My Distress* picks up right after Stone retrieves the Control Glove and Robotnik's Manifesto, with Stone getting hired at Karen's Coffee and promising "...give me a week and I'll control everyone and everything in this place," while also heavily implying that it hasn't been too long since the aftermath of *Hedgehog Day Afternoon*. Shortly afterwards, Tina asks Stone if he could cover her shift "this weekend" with the following panel saying "SUNDAY". This would ideally place Stone's first day on a Friday as the rest of the story is firmly placed on each day of the following week, with Karen receiving a call from prison on "FRIDAY" and Stone deciding on a new name for the cafe on "SATURDAY". With that in mind, *The Secret of My Distress* can be placed later that week, with Stone being hired on March 20, 2020, and with phase two of Robotnik's manifesto starting the following week, on March 28, 2020.
10. ↑ 10.0 10.1 10.2 10.3 10.4 10.5 The start of *Mushroom with a View* is the same as the post-credits scene in *Sonic the Hedgehog* with Robotnik noting that the Mushroom Planet is mostly uninhabited with no resources and no way home.

At the end of the short story, Robotnik says "Two Hundred Days Until Christmas!" Since it is most likely that he's talking about Christmas Day, 200 days before would place this story on June 8, 2020. Additionally, this is also shown to be on "Day 87" according to Robotnik's log. This can be taken as an inclusive statement, as it is possible that Robotnik is including his arrival to the Mushroom Planet as 'Day 1'.
11. ↑ Sometimes the *Sonic the Hedgehog Cinematic Universe* alludes to events which happened in our world. Thus, it is assumed they happened on the same dates in the universe, for timeline purposes.
