Opening/The Birth of Sonic

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

The Lion King Parodies Studios present....

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

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

**Sithi um ingonyama**

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

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

**Sithi um ingonyama**

**Ingonyama**

**Siyo Nqoba**

**Ingonyama**

**Ingonyama nengw' enamabala**

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

**Ingonyama nengw' enamabala (Eshe)**

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

**And blinking, step into the sun**

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

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

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

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

**But the sun rolling high**

**Through the sapphire sky**

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

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

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

**And it moves us all**

**Through despair and hope**

**Through faith and love**

**Until we find our place**

**On the path unwinding**

**It's the circle**

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

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

*(Then they notice another anthro hedgehog standing nearby, holding something wrapped in a blanket, with a soft smile. The other anthro hedgehog is an adult female anthro hedgehog with light brown fur, peach skin, green eyes, a black nose, light brown spiky quills tied in a braid by a big red hair ribbon, and wearing a red short-sleeved jacket over a pink sleeveless zipped-up dress, gold bracelets, a black stringed choker, and brown boots, and sometimes wielded a rod. She is Aerith Gainsborough, Cloud's wife and the Hedgehog Queen of Mobius Rock. Then, while the chorus' voices sang in the background, Cloud and Sticks, in calm happiness, approached her and Cloud and Aerith gives each other a loving kiss. Then Aerith lowered her head and gently presents a tiny figure laying nuzzled in his blanket. The figure is a newborn baby male anthro hedgehog with blue fur, peach skin, green eyes, a black nose, and blue spiky quills. That is, apparently, a newborn Hedgehog Prince, whom they named Sonic, for it turned out it is a presentation ceremony celebrating his birth. Sticks then gently shook her staff to see how Baby Sonic's personality will be, and sure enough, his personality is a happy curious type. Then Sticks took out a coconut filled with red ceremonial paint and cracks it open. Then she paints the red paint on Baby Sonic's forehead, making the little newborn giggle a bit. Then after gathering some sand, she gently sprinkles it on Baby Sonic's face, making him give a cute sneeze and then another brief giggle, much to Cloud and Aerith's calm happiness. Then Sticks gently picks Baby Sonic up, blanket and all, and slowly walks up to the edge of the top of Mobius Rock to present the newborn prince to the anthro animals below as the anthro animals await in calm silent eagerness. Then sure enough as the song resumes into its grand finale after the chanting is completed, Sticks holds Baby Sonic up in the air, presenting him and the anthro animals happily cheered, happy to know that they now have a future king that'll lead them after Cloud. Seeing this in Sticks' hands, Baby Sonic gave a calm happy smile, pleased to see this)*

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

**And it moves us all**

**Through despair and hope**

**Through faith and love**

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

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

**On the path unwinding**

**It's the circle**

**The circle of life**

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

The Hedgehog King

*(Then we fade to black)*

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