Sonic the Hedgehog (2020) Page #5

[Scene Change:
Woods, day]

[The flying drones spread out in the woods and fly through the trees scanning everything in their path. Each drone is equipped with a single red eye-like lens like the one on the truck. One scans a nearby rock. On the rock is a muddy shoe print. It shows a worn-out sole revealing clear hedgehog toeprints]

[Scene Change:
Dr. Robotnik's truck interior, day]

[Back at his truck, Dr. Robotnik is watching and controlling the operation on a giant holographic screen. Agent Stone enters]

Dr. Robotnik:
Agent Stone?

Agent Stone:
Doctor.

Dr. Robotnik:
Do you see anything useful in this image?

[Dr. Robotnik shows Agent Stone the image of a shoe print]

Agent Stone:
Nothing at all, Doctor.

Dr. Robotnik:
Of course you don't. Your eyes weren't expertly trained to spot tracks by the Native American Shadow Wolves.

[Dr. Robotnik presses some buttons on the control panel and scoots back a little as the image now shows what looks like an unusual foot]

Agent Stone:
That's extraordinary.

Dr. Robotnik:
No. What's extraordinary is I've determined the exact height, weight, and spinal curvature of this creature, and my computer can't find a single match for it anywhere in Earth's animal kingdom. This blackout was not a terrorist attack, and that's no baby Bigfoot. [Chuckling] This guy is something else… entirely. Divert all search units to the sight of the footprint. That's one small step for man, one giant leap for me.

[Scene Change:
Woods, day]

[The Military and the drones are searching the area while Sonic watches from a distance]

Sonic:
Okay, okay. Everything is fine. You played some baseball, got a little upset, lightning shot out of your butt, and now they're coming for you!

[Sonic speeds back to his tree trunk home]

Sonic:
All right, all right. Earth isn't safe anymore. Time for Plan B--Mushroomville. But I gotta take my stuff. Okay, essential items only. [Zips around while packing] Okay, toothbrush, toothpaste, hair gel, night-light. Funny hat. This half-eaten cantaloupe. Oh, my scented candle. My entire comic book collection. Beanbag chair. Can a beanbag chair fit in a backpack? No, no, no. Of course not. That's stupid. Okay, what else? The Rings! The Rings, yes, of course! [Wears a red backpack and holds the Ring satchel] Here we go. Ring time. Mushroom Planet, here I come.

[As Sonic is about to toss the ring, he hears the dogs coming]

Sonic:
Oh, no! They're right outside! I gotta go somewhere else. [Takes one last look at his cave] Goodbye, cave. [Walks out]

[Scene:
Wachowski residence, day]

[Tom's phone rings while he is marking things down on a map and he sees it is Maddie who's calling and he answers]

Tom:
Hey!

Maddie:
(over the phone) Hey!

Tom:
Whatcha doing?

[Scene Change:
Rachel's residence, day]

Maddie:
Just coloring with Jojo and Rachel.

[Scene:
Wachowski residence, day]

Tom:
Ah, that sounds half fun. Hey, exciting stuff here. We had a power outage. The whole town went dark. It was like a sign telling me to get out of Dodge.

[Scene Change:
Rachel's residence, day]

Maddie:
Wade must have lost his mind.

[Scene:
Wachowski residence, day]

Tom:
Yeah. And he does not have much to lose. How's your sister? Did she convince you to leave me yet?

[Scene Change:
Rachel's residence, day]

Maddie:
No, but she did tell me to check your phone for dating apps.

Tom:
(over the phone) The only apps on my phone are the ones that came with it.

[Scene:
Wachowski residence, day]

Tom:
And the Olive Garden.

[Scene Change:
Rachel's residence, day]

Maddie:
Because when you're there…

[Scene:
Wachowski residence, day]

Tom:
You're family. [Hears a noise outside] No way.

[Tom looks out the window to his garage. The garbage cans have been knocked over]

Tom:
The raccoons are back. And they are in for a surprise. [Opens a drawer]

[Scene Change:
Rachel's residence, day]

Maddie:
Your surprise better not be my tranquilizer gun. They're just hungry.

[Scene:
Wachowski residence, day]

Maddie:
[Over the phone] And also, that's for bears.

Tom:
[Grabs the tranq gun and c*cks it] Good. Now I know it'll work.

Maddie:
Tom!

Tom:
I'm kidding. I'm just gonna use it to scare 'em. Possibly to death.

[Scene Change:
Rachel's residence, day]

Tom:
Love you, honey. Bye! [Hangs up]

Maddie:
Tom--

[Scene:
Wachowski residence, day]

[Tom scoops a bit of cake on his finger and licks it before walking out to the garage]

[Scene:
Wachowski residence, day]

Rachel:
D-I-V-O-R-C-E.

[Scene Change:
Tom's garage, day]

[Sonic has now climbed through the window and is inside Tom's garage, leaving dirt all over the workbench]

Sonic:
Okay, I'm in. [Gets down from the workbench and onto the floor] With minimal damage to Donut Lord's property. [Reaches into the satchel and pulls out a Ring] Here we go. It didn't work out on Earth, but that's okay! You're going to a safe world. A nice, safe world filled with mushrooms--mushrooms that'll be your only friends. That sounds awful, I can't do this! You have to do it. There's no other option. [Takes a deep breath] All right.

[Sonic prepares to toss the ring when he hears the door to the garage barging open and he sees Tom pointing the tranquilizer gun and a flashlight while looking around]

Tom:
SFPD, pending background check! Paws in the air! [Points the gun and flashlight at a stunned Sonic]

Sonic:
Uh... meow?

[Tom screams in horror and Sonic screams back before Tom fires the tranq gun and shoots Sonic in the leg with a dart]

Sonic:
Ow!

[As Sonic starts losing consciousness, he reads the words on Tom's shirt]

Sonic:
"San... Francisco"?

[Sonic drops the Ring and it opens up a portal to the sprawling streets of San Francisco in the middle of the floor and a bewildered Tom watches while Sonic stumbles to the ground and drops his ring satchel through the portal, which lands on the roof of the Transamerica Building. The portal begins to close]

Sonic:
No.

[The portal is now closed, leaving an unconscious Sonic lying on the ground and Tom, still in shock at what he saw]

Tom:
What?
