Sonic the Hedgehog (2006)

The Soleanna Festival
[''One night at the Castle Town, the Festival of the Sun is being held with fireworks fired up towards the night sky. A large boat comes in with a Princess Elise walking towards a statue. Someone then brings in a torch and bestows it to Elise while she looks at it. She then visualizes a large blast of fire engulfing Soleanna and notices Iblis as it gives a roar.'']
 * Elise's lady-in-waiting: Miss Elise.
 * Elise: It... It's alright. We give thanks for the blessed flames. May we always continue to have peace. Sun of Soleanna, guide and watch over us with your eternal light...

[''Elise lights a flame with the torch that ignites a frame surrounding a pedestal and everyone applauded while fireworks are launched into the sky. Missiles then attacked and everyone panicks. The Egg Carrier then flies over Soleanna and drops off Egg Gunners around Elise. As they are about to attack, Dr. Eggman appears in his Egg Mobile.'']
 * Eggman: A pleasure to meet you at last, Princess of Soleanna. I am Dr. Eggman. I've come here to obtain the secret of the Flames of Disaster from you. [Elise clutches the cyan Chaos Emerald in her hand.] And to take the miracle gems that are the keys to its secret... The Chaos Emerald! Now Princess, this way please.

[''Eggman's points towards his direction and Elise stands back. Within a few seconds, blue hurls begin to appear circling around in the air.'']
 * Sonic: My... That's a pretty snazzy performance there.
 * Elise: You... [Elise visualizes Silver the Hedgehog in Sonic's place.] It can't be?

[Sonic smiles and attacks the robots, dispatching them all.]
 * Sonic: I'm Sonic. Sonic The Hedgehog! [Scoops up Elise in his arms and runs off.]
 * Eggman: Not that irritating hedgehog again! Attack!

[''Robots begin to fire missiles at Sonic as he runs away. Silver stands over a roof looking towards Sonic.'']
 * Silver: I finally found him... the Iblis Trigger!

The Chaos Emeralds entrusted
[Sonic is running through the town with Elise in his arms.]
 * Elise: Umm... Why are you helping me?
 * Sonic: No special reason. [Jumps over a canal]
 * Elise: Sonic!

[''Eggman's robots blocks Sonic. Sonic puts Elise down and destorys all of the robots. Sonic hears Elise scream and sees Eggman grabbing Elise with his Egg Mobile.'']
 * Eggman: I'm afraid our little game ends now.
 * Elise: [Wriggles an arm free] Sonic, take this!

[Elise throws the blue Chaos Emerald to Sonic and he catches it.]
 * Sonic: I've got it! And don't worry, I'll rescue you!
 * Elise: I know.
 * Eggman: It's only a matter of time before it's mine. Until then, you can hold onto it for me!

[Eggman flees with Elise into the Egg Carrier and leaves Soleanna while Sonic watches it.]

Meeting with Tails
[''Sonic is running through Castle Town during the day. He hears Tails calling his name and stops.'']
 * Tails: Sonic!
 * Sonic: Tails! Long time no see!
 * Tails: I'm glad that you're here. I heard that you tried to save the Princess from Dr. Eggman. You're going to rescue her, aren't you? Let me help. I may not know what Eggman's up to, but it can't be a good thing!
 * Sonic: OK! With your help, this should be a piece of cake. [Runs off]
 * Tails: Heh heh. I'll do my best! [Follows Sonic]

Too late, Sonic
[''Wave Ocean, day. The Egg Carrier flies away as Sonic and Tails watch it. A feather falls down from the sky which Sonic picks up.'']
 * Tails: It looks like the Princess was moved into another location. [Walks around Sonic, while Sonic looks at a feather.] Let's head back to the city!

[''Tails leaves the scene. Sonic clutches the feather and follows.'']

Sonic Rescues Elise
[''Inside a chamber of ancient ruins, Elise is sitting. She then gets a thought that she remembered from the past.'']
 * Duke: You're a good girl, Elise. Remember, be brave. Don't cry no matter what happens.

[''Sonic and Tails break into the room. Sonic comes in and Tails waves his hand.'']
 * Elise: Mr. Sonic!
 * Sonic: Just call me Sonic. [Elise hugs Sonic.] Now then, are you OK?
 * Elise: I-I'm so glad that you came...
 * Sonic: I always keep my word.
 * Tails: Sonic!

[''Sonic, Tails and Elise turn their attention to the Egg Cerberus who is sealed in a caged. Eggman then appears.'']
 * Dr. Eggman: It looks like a pesky rat has stuck its nose where it doesn't belong. Well, a hedgehog to be more precise... The Princess is mine until I unlock the secret of the Flames of Disaster.
 * Sonic: Tails!
 * Tails: Got it! Let's go!

Let's Split Up
[In the sunset of Dusty Desert, a large hoard of Egg Gunner robots are flying towards somewhere, possibly towards Sonic, Tails, and Elise.]
 * Sonic: How long is this going to go on?
 * Tails: Let's split up. I'll get their attention, and you take the Princess.

[Sonic nods and turns his head towards Tails.]
 * Sonic; OK. You be careful, Tails.
 * Tails: Leave it to me!

[Tails files off and Sonic holds Elise.]
 * Sonic: Hold on tight!
 * Elise: Ok!

[Sonic runs off with Elise.]

Running through the plains
[''Sonic runs as he holds Elise through some plains and runs up a hill. As he reaches towards a peak, he then stops and places Elise.'']
 * Elise: I have no words to express how grateful I am for your help... [Pauses and notices Sonic having a cut in his arm.] You're hurt!
 * Sonic: It's nothing.

[Sonic then checks his arm for any injury.]
 * Elise: Don't say that. [Elise then uses some fabrics as a bandage to cover the injury.] I'm sorry. It's all my fault...
 * Sonic: Smile. [Sonic then waves his index finger. A butterfly flies towards his nose and Elise smiles. Elise lightly flicks the butterfly and it flies away.] Your smile... That's all I need.

[Sonic then walks along the hill and Elise follows him.]
 * Sonic: Eggman mentioned the Flames of Disaster. Is that why he's after you?
 * Elise: Yes. The name of the sun god our country honors is Solaris... [A flashback of the festival plays in the background.] It is told that Solaris's rage would destroy the world. [The background shifts to Elise's vision of Iblis from before.] His wrath comes in the form of the Flames of Disaster. [Background returns to normal.] 10 years ago, we almost faced the full force of his fury... I was a child then, so I don't remember it very well. I lost my father then... And now that man is trying to cause the same disaster again... What can I do? [Pause, then Sonic grabs Elise's hand and runs together.] Sonic? Sonic! Sonic, wait! I can't run that fast!
 * Sonic: Don't worry. Just raise your head and run! [They continuing running. It then fades into another scene] Feels great, doesn't it?
 * Elise: Yes. I-I've never run so fast before...
 * Sonic: Nothing starts until you take action. If you have time to worry, then run!

[Sonic grabs Elise's hand, then the camera points towards the sky and fades.]

Silver appears
[''Sonic and Elise are walking in Soleanna and they suddenly stopped. Sonic notices an attack towards them and Sonic holds Elise and jumps avoids it.'']
 * Silver: I've been looking for you. You're the Iblis Trigger. Your actions will condemn us all.
 * Sonic: Who are you?
 * Silver: My name is Silver. For the future of the world, I will destroy you!

Saved by Amy
[Silver is weak from their fight and Elise is looking at him.]
 * Sonic: Hey.

[''Silver psychokinetically attacks Sonic, knocking him towards a building and falls down to the ground with his knees hitting it. Sonic breathes as Silver approaches towards him.'']
 * Silver: Hmph! Is this a joke? How could someone like you cause the destruction of our world?

[Two robotic hands appear behind Elise.]
 * Sonic: What do you... mean?
 * Silver: It doesn't matter. For the sake of the future, the Iblis Trigger must be destroyed!

[''Elise screams. He sees the Egg Mobile capturing her'']
 * Sonic: Elise!? Wait!

[Sonic tries to go after Elise but Silver attacked Sonic again.]
 * Silver: Don't you dare turn your back on me! It's time I finally put an end to this!

[Silver tries to attack but Amy appears.]
 * Amy: Stop!
 * Silver: Amy? Get out of my way, Amy! This is my mission!
 * Amy: Absolutely not!

[Sonic stands up.]
 * Sonic: Thanks Amy. I appreciate it.

[Sonic begins to flee and chase after the Egg Carrier.]
 * Amy: Leave it to me.

Knuckles delivers a letter from Eggman
[''Sonic and Tails arrived at a seaport and encountered Knuckles. Knuckles is seen holding a card.'']
 * Sonic: Knuckles.
 * Knuckles: I saw Eggman on the outskirts of the city. [Throws a card to Sonic.] He wanted to give this to you.

[Sonic looks at the card and a holographic message from Eggman shows up.]
 * Dr. Eggman (via card): Sonic the Hedgehog. If you want me to return the Princess, you must give me your Chaos Emerald. Meet me at my base in White Acropolis.

[The recording ends and Sonic hand back the card back to Knuckles and he puts it to the ground.]
 * Knuckles: Huh. He's pretty cocky. [Crushes the card]
 * Tails: It's most definitely a trap. I don't think Eggman will honor his agreement.
 * Sonic: [Looks at his Chaos Emerald.] I'm going.
 * Tails: Sonic?
 * Sonic: Since Eggman went to the trouble of telling me where Elise is. I think I should thank him personally.

Eggman sends Sonic to the future
[Sonic, Tails, and Knuckles arrive at Eggman's base.]
 * Dr. Eggman: You're late.

[Camera zoom from Eggman]
 * Knuckles: Well, we had to deal with your little pets.
 * Sonic: Where's Elise?
 * Dr. Eggman: My, aren't we impatient...

[Eggman grabs Elise and is holding her by his side.]
 * Elise: Sonic!

[Sonic and his friends get ready to fight.]
 * Dr. Eggman: Ah ah. You better not move. Now, the Chaos Emerald... [Sonic takes his Chaos emerald out.] Place it there. [Eggman points to a capsule that rises from the ground while Elise shakes her head. Sonic places the Emerald in the capsule. Eggman then presses a button.] Hmph!

[A pink force field generates from the ceiling, surrounding Sonic, Tails and Knuckles.]
 * Tails: Huh!? Wha-!?
 * Knuckles: Wha!?

[Knuckles tries punching the field but gets knocked back.]
 * Dr. Eggman: It's no use. It's too powerful for you to overcome. Now allow me to introduce you to my latest creation. This is the Solaris prototype. [Elise gasps while Eggman laughs and pulls a handle.] With this machine. I'll be able to control the flow of time itself!

[Sonic, Tails and Knuckles are being sucked upwards by the machine.]
 * Sonic: Whooah!
 * Tails: Ahhhhh!
 * Knuckles: Arrrrrhhhh!

[''The force field disappears along with Sonic, Tails and Knuckles. Elise leans against the window.'']
 * Dr. Eggman: Rest assured... They're not dead... yet. They've just been teleported by my glorious invention to another time. Who knows where they'll end up? It could be the distant past or far future. But my machine still requires some fine-tuning. In fact, what my machine needs in order to be complete, is your power.
 * Elise: My power?
 * Dr. Eggman: Yes, I can finally complete my plans... Now that I have the Chaos Emeralds, and you... The Princess of Soleanna. That's all I need to revive the Flames of Disaster. And with its power, I will be able to control everything and rule the world. So, you would be wise to remain on my "good" side.

[Eggman walks off and camera zooms to Elise.]

Shadow and Rouge
[''At a ruined future of the same location, Sonic, Tails and Knuckles fall down from the machine in the top of the room. Sonic lands on his feet, Tails lands on his rump and Knuckles lands on his head.'']
 * Tails: Boy, do I feel dizzy... [Looks around] Where are we?

[Someone approaches the group from a higher ledge.]
 * Rouge: Oh, look who's here! I didn't expect to see you guys.

[Sonic, Tails and Knuckles look up and see Shadow and Rouge.]
 * Tails: Rouge! Shadow!
 * Rouge: Hi. Long time no see!

Allies
[Sonic, Shadow, Tails, Knuckles and Rouge look over the ruins of Crisis City.]
 * Shadow: This is the distant future, far removed from our own timeline.
 * Tails: The future? Then that means Eggman's machine can control time!
 * Sonic: Eggman's got some nerve dropping us here.
 * Knuckles: [Kicks a rock] Now, how can we get back to our own time?
 * Shadow: You need a space-time rift, but this requires a lot of energy.
 * Sonic: I see. You mean using your Chaos Control will...
 * Shadow: Yes, but that alone is insufficient.
 * Sonic: Okay Shadow. It looks like we need to work together.

[Shadow nods.]

The death of Elise?!
[Sonic, Tails and Knuckles wonder about in a corridor of a ruined building.]
 * Knuckles: No matter where we go, all we see are ruins. How can this be our future?

[The trio turned to look at their surroundings.]
 * Tails: How could it come to this?

[''Sonic notices gas flowing from a room that is slightly opened. The trio then turned to have a peak to discover what's happening.'']
 * Silver: Could it be true? [Mephiles (under Shadow's appearance), Silver and Blaze can be seen standing in front of a large database computer.] If I eliminate that guy, will our world be saved?
 * Mephiles: [Nods.] The Day of Disaster... Here are my records of this event. This was when Iblis was freed and his flames were released into the world. [Mephiles presses a key. The screen then displayed screenshots from the present timeline.] And you have this person to blame.

[''Mephiles grabs his purple Chaos Emerald out. Silver takes a hold of it and stares at it. The background shifts to a stream of fire surrounding Sonic.'']
 * Silver: I see it! So, That blue hedgehog's the Iblis Trigger?
 * Blaze: Blue hedgehog...
 * Mephiles: I'll send us back in time to the point when the Iblis Trigger was alive.

[''Mephiles forms an purple orb in his hands that expands, covering Silver and Blaze along with him and then disappeared out of sight. Sonic, Tails and Knuckles approach towards the computer.'']
 * Knuckles: What the... Who was that guy? He looked just like Shadow...
 * Tails: Th-This is terrible! [Types on the keys.] According to the data, the Princess died when she was kidnapped by Eggman! Apparently Eggman's battleship exploded! [Types on the keys.] The date of this incident was... two days after the Festival of the Sun!
 * Sonic: If we don't return in time, Elise will die onboard Eggman's battleship. That means...
 * Tails: Yeah... I think so.

[Sonic punches his hands together in frustration while Tails types on the keys.]

Beyond the flames...
[At Flame Core, Shadow and Rouge meet with Sonic, Tails and Knuckles.]
 * Rouge: You guys are so slow. Look.

[She shows the green Chaos Emerald.]
 * Tails: A Chaos Emerald! You've already found one!
 * Rouge: Well now... I may not look It, but I'm a real treasure hunter. Unlike a certain echidna I know.
 * Knuckles: [Gets up in Rouge's face] What? [Grunts and walks away]
 * Shadow: Have you guys discovered anything?
 * Tails: Um, yeah. [Points into the distance] I received a signal indicating there's a Chaos Emerald here, but...
 * Rouge: You mean we've got to go through there?
 * Knuckles: [Gets up in Rouge's face] If you don't like it, you can stay here.
 * Rouge: You've got to be kidding!

[Knuckles walks away.]
 * Sonic: Don't be late.
 * Shadow: [Walks away] Same to you.

[Sonic, Shadow, Tails, Knuckles and Rouge run off-screen.]

Fiery Iblis
[At a volcanic pool, Rouge flies away from Sonic, Shadow, Tails and Knuckles up to the cyan Chaos Emerald floating in the air.]
 * Rouge: I've found a Chaos Emerald!
 * Shadow: Don't touch it!

[''Iblis springs out of the lava. Rouge flies back to the group.'']
 * Rouge: What? What's this?

[Iblis swings at the group.]

Going back to the present
[''After defeating Iblis, Sonic, Tails, Knuckles, Shadow and Rouge gathered together. Sonic and Shadow pull out a Chaos Emerald each, preparing to use Chaos Control. They nod at each other.'']
 * Sonic and Shadow: Chaos Control!

[''The Chaos Emeralds begin flashing rapidly and emit a white swirling light into the air that transforms into a blue swirling portal suspended in mid-air. Sonic proceeds towards the portal while Tails and Knuckles follow. Rouge flies into the air and turns to Shadow. Rouge flies to the portal while Shadow turns around.'']

Return to the present
[A blue swirling portal appears at some place in Soleanna and Sonic, Tails and Knuckles come out through it before disappearing.]
 * Tails: Oww...
 * Knuckles: Looks like we make it back in one piece.
 * Tails: Where did Shadow and Rouge go? Did they appear someplace else?
 * Sonic: Those two can take care of themselves.

[''Sonic spots a newspaper lying on the ground and proceeds to read it. Tails and Knuckles also move towards Sonic to read the newspaper as well.'']

Silver and Shadow
[''Radical Train, day. Sonic is running away while carrying Elise.'']
 * Elise: I knew it... I knew you'd return! You had to!

[Sonic jumps to the side as an energy is fired by Silver.]
 * Sonic: ...You again.
 * Silver: This time there will be no more interruptions! The Iblis Trigger... must die!
 * Elise: Sonic...

[''Silver fires an energy blast which Sonic dodges. Silver then grabs Sonic in a psychokinetic hold, paralyzing him.'']
 * Dr. Eggman: So how was your little walk, Princess? [The Egg Mobile appears and grabs Elise with its two hands before flying away.]
 * Sonic: Elise!
 * Silver: [Strengths his hold on Sonic] It's time to end this!

[Shadow jumps between Sonic and Silver, freeing Sonic.]
 * Silver: Who? Mephiles! Why are you getting in my way?
 * Shadow: I'm Shadow. Shadow The Hedgehog.

[''Sonic gives Shadow a thumbs up and runs away. Shadow and Silver prepare to fight each other.'']

Elise jumps
[''The Egg Mobile flies overhead above some plains. Elise is standing on the Egg Mobile'']
 * Dr. Eggman: Now stop it. You have no where to go.
 * Elise: I would rather die than be your prisoner again!
 * Dr. Eggman: Hmph! So, what are you going to do, Princess? Do you plan to jump?

[Below on the ground, Sonic is seen running towards the Egg Mobile.]
 * Elise: Farewell.

[Elise leans back and falls off the Egg Mobile, leaving Eggman stunned.]
 * Dr. Eggman: Huh?

[Sonic catches Elise in his arms.]
 * Elise: Sonic!
 * Dr. Eggman: (growls) You won't get away that easily!

Thanks to you...
[''At the Forest, Sonic walks while holding Elise's hand. Elise stops to catch her breath.'']
 * Sonic: That was a gutsy move back there!
 * Elise: Well, I was desperate... and um... I just had to get away. I owe you a lot, Sonic...
 * Sonic: Uh... [Sonic turns to see a large hoard of Egg Gunners flying towards his direction.] I'll head into the jungle!
 * Elise: OK!

[Sonic carries Elise in his arms and takes off.]

Sonic and Elise, in the forest
[Deep within the Forest, Sonic, with Elise in his arms, is running through the lush jungle.]
 * Elise: It looks like we've lost them.
 * Sonic: I'll settle things here. Elise, you should go back to the castle.
 * Elise: OK... [Sonic makes a turn to the right.] Sonic? [They stop by a lake surrounded by green grass and numerous trees.] It's so beautiful! I've never seen so many flowers before! Sonic, have you visited many wonderful places before?
 * Sonic: Yeah.
 * Elise: Once you defeat Eggman... you'll leave, won't you? [Sonic nods] Though I've been frightened many times, I've also enjoyed this adventure. It allowed me to be something other than a Princess. I was able to be myself... a girl.
 * Sonic: It sounds like being a Princess isn't that easy.
 * Elise: It isn't sometimes, but I love this country. Everyone in the castle, the children, all my citizens really... The same love my late father and mother had...

[The scene flashbacks to the Duke of Soleanna sitting on a chair gently stroking a younger Elise's forehead.]
 * Duke: Don't cry, Elise. Become a strong queen who doesn't cry no matter what happens.

[The flashback ends.]
 * Elise: And so, I do my best to protect my country. I understand everything my parents said to me now. Sonic, if you leave here to go on another adventure... Remember this place.
 * Sonic: Definitely. [Elise suddenly strays away for a few moments.] Elise?
 * Elise: I'm fine... Sorry. (I mustn't cry... I can't...)

[Elise quickly hugged Sonic before it seemed that she was about to cry.]
 * Sonic: Elise... smile.

Elise goes alone
[''At Soleanna, a Soleanna Royal Guard is conversing with two citizens. A shadow of the Egg Carrier is seen and the three turn to look at the Egg Carrier flying above the city. Citizens begin to panic as Eggman makes his announcement.'']
 * Dr. Eggman: Princess Elise, ruler of Soleanna... By refusing to negotiate with me, you have forced me to take drastic actions. [Amy is seen in the crowd witnessing the Egg Carrier before turning to run away.] Meet me at the specified point alone 4 o'clock today. Failure to do so on time, Will result in my leveling of this city so that nothing but ashes remain!

[Elise stands outside in the balcony of her castle who listened to this.]
 * Elise's lady-in waiting 1: Miss Elise...!
 * Elise: I cannot allow harm to come to my people.

[''As the Egg Carrier flies closer in the background, Elise turns to leave. She stops.'']
 * Elise's lady-in waiting 2: Miss Elise...!
 * Elise: It is my duty as Princess of Soleanna to go... There is no other choice.

[She continues walking.]

Eggman’s plot
[Eggman traps Elise inside the Egg Carrier and she is seen sitting on a chair.]
 * Dr. Eggman: You've wasted so much of my time. If you had cooperated with me earlier, I wouldn't have to do this.
 * Elise: What are you trying to do, Dr. Eggman? Why do you wish to revive the Flames of Disaster?
 * Dr. Eggman: Did your parents ever disclose to you anything about Solaris? Solaris's secrets are in his eternal flames. His power... can change time, and even manipulate the fabric of time itself. I wish to obtain this power and dominate everything in this world. From the past all the way to the future!
 * Elise: You wish... to rule over... Time?
 * Dr. Eggman: Yes. Truly. And the secret... It remains dormant in you, Princess. [Dr. Eggman proceeds to his ship's interface and begins inputting commands.] The Princess of Soleanna and the seven Chaos Emeralds... Once I have everything, the fate of the world will change. And one of the beautiful gems is just ahead.
 * Egg Carrier mother computer: Chaos Emerald located.
 * Dr. Eggman: Finally... Now, let's go collect that Chaos Emerald.

Things have changed
[''Sonic is running through plains when his path is suddenly intercepted by several Egg Gunner robots. Sonic halts to a stop while the robots approach towards him and prepare to attack when a green aura suddenly surrounds all of them, disabling them from moving. Silver appears and psychokinetically pushes them away, destroying them in the process.'']
 * Silver: You look like you're in a hurry.
 * Sonic: ... So what's going on?
 * Silver: Circumstances have changed. I need to rescue the Princess.

[Sonic nods and the two run off.]

Out of control
[''Inside the Egg Carrier, an alarm is going off. Eggman frantically is typing keys at his interface while Elise watches.'']
 * Dr. Eggman: Huh? The engines are malfunctioning. [Elise stands up.] What's this? Stop all engines now! [Eggman pounds on his interface.] ...Why is this happening? No! We're about to crash!

Battleship explosion
[''A section of the Egg Carrier from outside bursts into flames, emitting smoke. Later then, the Egg Carrier is seen from Kingdom Valley (with both sides now ignited) losing altitude and then explodes into an orange tint behind a mountain. Sonic arrives at the moment with Silver and Blaze right behind him.'']
 * Sonic: Elise!

[''Sonic watches the incident in sadness falling to his knees and pounds the ground in anger. He's too late. Both Soleanna's sovereign and his arch-enemy have been killed.'']
 * Silver: Wait, there's still a way to change this. [Sonic turns around.] If we return to an earlier point in time, we'll be able to save her.
 * Sonic: I understand.

[Silver and Sonic both grab their Chaos Emeralds out and approach each other.]
 * Sonic and Silver: Chaos Control!

[''The two emeralds glow forming a white swirling light in the air, forming a blue swirling portal suspended in mid-air. Sonic turns to the portal and tosses his Chaos Emerald to Silver.'']
 * Sonic: Silver. I can handle this myself. Besides, you've got somewhere to go, right?
 * Silver: You...
 * Sonic: I'll make sure to change Elise's fate. And that in turn, should change your future, too. [Silver nods.] Thank you, Silver!
 * Silver: Yeah... Just save her.

[Sonic leaps into the portal.]

The day before
[''A blue swirling portal appears at Soleanna and Sonic comes out of it. He hears a bell ringing and looks at a clock, reading noon. Not much time. He quickly regroups with Tails and Knuckles and heads for the Egg Carrier's hangar in Aquatic Base.'']

Sonic boards the battleship

 * Egg Carrier mother computer: Thrust increasing. Engine output at maximum. Course plotted. [Egg Carrier is seen preparing to depart from Aquatic Base.] Gate open. Lifting off.

[''Red machines holding the Egg Carrier in place detaches. The Egg Carrier proceeds to take off. Just then, Sonic is seen running along a bridge above the Egg Carrier and jumping onto the craft, landing just on its metal tail. The Egg Carrier zooms off.'']

Showdown with Eggman
[Inside the Egg Carrier, an alarm is going off while Eggman is frantically typing at the Egg Carrier's interface.]
 * Dr. Eggman: ...Why is this happening? Noooooo!!
 * Sonic: Playtime's over.

[Sonic appears and Elise runs to his side.]
 * Elise: Sonic!
 * Sonic: This ship is about to crash. Too bad, Eggman.

[Eggman throws a tantrum and growls in frustration.]
 * Dr. Eggman: I'm not finished yet!

Nice smile!
[''Inside the Egg Carrier, Sonic is carrying Elise in his arms as he runs to escape from the ship. Outside, the front section of the Egg Carrier explodes into flames and breaks off.'']
 * Elise: Sonic!

[Elise points to a burning debris soaring through the air.]
 * Sonic: Aren't you worried?
 * Elise: "If you have time to worry, then run," right?

[''The front section of the Egg Carrier explodes. Sonic (with Elise in his arms) takes a run off and jump from one piece of debris of the Egg Carrier to another. He lands on the wing to jump to a cliff and attempts to jump high into the air, only for them to start falling. A large piece of debris of the Egg Carrier collides below and its explosion launches Sonic and Elise up to solid ground as they rolled along the ground. Elise lies on the ground while Sonic walks over to her and lends his hand for her to get up. Sonic and Elise begin laughing.'']
 * Sonic: Nice smile!

[Sonic and Elise turn to look over at the horizon.]

Shadow's infiltration
[''White Acropolis, night. The alarm from Eggman's fortress-like base is hear and a battalion of Egg Gunners matches forward. Shadow storms out of a forest and towards the base. Egg Gunner's shoot at him, but Shadow runs through the robots, destroying them as he passes them. Shadow jumps into the base perimeter as an explosion is hear in the background and hides from the searchlights.'']
 * GUN HQ (transmission): Transmission from HQ. There's an SOS coming from Dr. Eggman's Base. Our last communication with our agent was 26 hours ago. We expect an immediate rescue, Shadow The Hedgehog.
 * Shadow: Understood. Initiating the mission now [Teleports away using Chaos Control]

Attempt to escape
[''White Acropolis, night. Shadow and Rouge, who holds the Scepter of Darkness, are walking through the outside base.'']
 * Rouge: Don't you want to know what this is?
 * Shadow: My assingment was to rescue you, nothing more
 * Rouge: Fine. With you it's always business

[The earth shakes and three Egg Stingers appear.]
 * Rouge: It's seems they don't want us to leave.
 * Shadow: [Grunts] Let's get this over with.

To the ancient Soleanna Castle
[''New City. Shadow and Rouge enters a control room.'']
 * Rouge: Ah, Soleanna, the city of water. It has a constitutional monarchy, you know. The primary industries are tourism and crafting precision machinery. The current sovereign is Princess Elise the Third.
 * Shadow: Why does Eggman's base lead to an odd place like this?
 * Rouge: How should I know?. I just followed my orders and retrieved the Item.Anyway, I have a little favor to ask of you. Could you escort me to GUN rendezvous point?
 * Shadow: Where's the rendezvous point?
 * Rouge: [Point to map on computer screen] It's the ancient castle of Soleanna, in Kingdom Valley.

The resurrection of Mephiles
[''Kingdom Valley, day. Shadow and Rouge enter the open ruins of a great hall.'']
 * Rouge: The former king of Soleanna used to reside in this castle. But a major accident occurred 10 years ago, and no one's lived here since.
 * Shadow: Accident?
 * Rouge: I heard a prototype energy engine failed, which caused the accident. I think the name of the plan was...

[Dr. Eggman drops down from the air in his Egg Mobile.]
 * Eggman: The Solaris Project. It was an ambitious project named after their eternal sun god.
 * Rouge: Doctor!
 * Eggman: It's been a while, my dear Rouge. And of course, Shadow. Now, if you'd be so kind as to hand back the Scepter of Darkness you took from me.

[''Egg Gunners surround Shadow and Rouge who dodge a blast from one of them. As Rouge flies up, Eggman knocks her down with his Egg Mobile, causing her to drop the Scepter of Darkness. Shadow saves Rouge.'']
 * Eggman: No......!

[''The Scepter of Darkness shatters against the ground and the robots short-circuit. Shadow approaches the scepter when dark smoke leaks from it.'']
 * Rouge: Shadow!

[Darkness shoots into the air from the scepter.]
 * Eggman: It's no use! Pull back, pull back, pull back! [Flies away in the Egg Mobile.]

[''The flying shadow knocks down all the robots before shooting into the ground in front of Shadow. Shadow's shade is drawn into some dark smoke and Mephiles emerges from it.'']
 * Rouge: What? His shadow..
 * Mephiles: [Laughs] Oh, how ironic fate can be! I would never have believed I would be resurrected through your shade! I thank you Shadow The Hedgehog! [Bows]
 * Shadow: Who are you? How do you know my name?
 * Mephiles: I'm Mephiles. Mephiles the Dark. [Walks towards Shadow] What, did you forget me? I owe much to you Shadow. Oh yes. [Forms a purple orb in his hand] What you gave to me, I now return to you! A one-way ticket to oblivion.

[Mephiles surrounds himself, Shadow and Rouge in a purple orb and all three of them disappear.]

The destroyed World
[''Crisis City. A purple orb appears and deposits Shadow and Rouge from it.'']
 * Rouge: What is this place?
 * Shadow: It seems we've been teleported to another location.
 * Rouge: Well, let's find out where we are. [Runs away]
 * Shadow: Mephiles.... [Screen turns grayscale] Who is he? [Follows Rouge]

Confirming the future
[''Crisis City. Shadow and Rouge are in a computer room.'']
 * Rouge: I'm in... I've pinpointed our location, It's... [Taps on keyboard and screen appears] No... that's not possible... We're still in the Doctor's base. But how can that be? Wait there's no doubt now!
 * Shadow: So, It's not where we are...

[''Rouge taps on keyboard and more information appears on the screen. Rouge gasps.'']
 * Shadow: It appears we've gone through time... doesn't it?
 * Rouge: Yes... Approximately 200 years. Maybe more, depending on when this database was last updated. Well, at least we know we've arrived in the future. That means this Mephiles character has the power to control time.
 * Shadow: His power feels very similar to my own Chaos Control. But...

[Shadow and Rouge hear bumps in the next room.]

Meeting with Sonic and the others
[''Crisis City. Sonic, Tails and Knuckles fall down from a purple burst in the top of the room. Sonic lands on his feet, Tails lands on his rump, and Knuckles lands on his head.'']
 * Tails: Boy, do I feel dizzy ... [Looks around] Where are we?

[Someone approaches the group from a higher ledge.]
 * Rouge: Oh, look who's here! I didn't expect to see you guys.

[Sonic, Tails and Knuckles look up and see Shadow and Rouge.]
 * Tails: Rouge! Shadow!
 * Rouge: Hi. Long time no see!

Allies
[''Crisis City. Sonic, Shadow, Tails, Knuckles and Rouge look over the destroyed city.'']
 * Shadow: This is the distant future, far removed from our own timeline.
 * Tails: The future? Then that means Eggman's machine can control time!
 * Sonic: Eggman's got some nerve dropping us here.
 * Knuckles: [Kicks a rock] Now. How can we get back to our own time?
 * Shadow: You need a space-time rift, but this requires a lot of energy.
 * Sonic: I see. You mean using your Chaos Control will...
 * Shadow: Yes, but that alone is insufficient.
 * Sonic: Okay Shadow. It looks like we need to work together.

[Shadow nods.]

Omega located
[''Crisis City. Shadow and Rouge are walking down a street. Rouge is holding the green Chaos Emerald.'']
 * Rouge: My precious Chaos Emerald. You are all so beautiful. Your mysterious brilliance...

[Shadow and Rouge notice a dusty E-123 Omega lying down against a building.]
 * Rouge: Omega what's he doing here?
 * Shadow: [Takes a look at Omega's back display] It seems he's in standby mode.
 * Rouge: What could have possibly happened to create this future? [Receives a message from Sonic and his friends] Yes, this is Rouge. Understood. We'll be there in a minute. It looks like Sonic and his friends have found something, too. Let's go. It's not like we can do anything for him now.
 * Shadow: Yeah.

[Shadow and Rouge walk away, Rouge a little more hesitantly.]

Beyond the flames...
[''Flame Core, night. Shadow and Rouge meet with Sonic, Tails and Knuckles.'']
 * Rouge: You guys are so slow. Look. [Shows the green Chaos Emerald]
 * Tails: A Chaos Emerald! You've already found one!
 * Rouge: Well now... I may not look It, but I'm a real treasure hunter. Unlike a certain echidna I know.
 * Knuckles: [Gets up in Rouge's face] What? [Grunts and walks away]
 * Shadow: Have you guys discovered anything?
 * Tails: Um, yeah. [Points into the distance] I received a signal indicating there's a Chaos Emerald here, but...
 * Rouge: You mean we've got to go through there?
 * Knuckles: [Gets up in Rouge's face] If you don't like it, you can stay here.
 * Rouge: You've got to be kidding! [Knuckles walks away]
 * Sonic: Don't be late.
 * Shadow: [Walks away]Same to you.

[Sonic, Shadow, Tails, Knuckles and Rouge run away.]

Fiery Iblis
[''Flame Core. Rouge flies away from Sonic, Shadow, Tails and Knuckles up to the cyan Chaos Emerald floating in the air.''
 * Rouge: I've found a Chaos Emerald!
 * Shadow: Don't touch it!

[''Iblis (Phase 2) springs out of the lava. Rouge flies back to the group.'']
 * Rouge: What? What's this?

[Iblis swings at the group.]

Shadow remains in the future
[''Flame Core. Sonic and Shadow face each other with Knuckles, Tails and Rouge behind them. Sonic and Shadow pull out the green and cyan Chaos Emerald and nod at each other.'']
 * Shadow and Sonic: [Crosses the Emeralds] Chaos Control!

[''A blue Time-Space rift appears. Sonic, Tails, Knuckles and Rouge enter the rift. Shadow prepares to enter when he notices Mephiles has appeared behind him. Shadow follows Mephiles while the Time-Space rift closes behind him.'']

Rouge returns to the present
[''New City, day. The Time-Space rift appears with Rouge and the green Chaos Emerald being deposited from it.'']
 * Rouge: Shadow? Shadow! [Finds the Chaos Emerald] Shadow... And he doesn't have a Chaos Emerald anymore...
 * GUN (transmission): Agent Rouge? Report your status immediately. Have you retrieved the Scepter of Darkness?
 * Rouge: Well... I"ll provide a full report shortly. Right now. I have a priority situation to deal with. I need to contact E123 Omega Immediately. [Smiles]

Trusting Omega
[''Tropical Jungle, day. Omega is walking through the ruins when Rouge appears.'']
 * Rouge: This is a charming little place. [Omega notices Rouge] Hi, long time no see.
 * Omega: Rouge The Bat.

[The scene shifts to Rouge and Omega talking]
 * Omega: Situation understood. What would you like me to do?
 * Rouge: [Holds out the green Chaos Emerald] Take this, and deliver it to Shadow.
 * Omega: [Takes the Chaos Emerald and places it in his torso compartment] System reactivation countdown initiated. Backup power source and spare magazines secured. Command program priority changed. New Mission: Shadow Support. External access no longer permitted. Confirmed.
 * Rouge: I'm counting on you.

[Omega walks away.]

Mephiles' whisper
[''Flame Core. Shadow catches up Mephiles.'']
 * Mephiles: So, decided to void your return ticket now, did you?
 * Shadow: Why are you here? Did you ruin this world?
 * Mephiles: The answer's yes and no. Perhaps it's better to show you.

[''Mephiles snaps his fingers and a cage with a future version of Shadow imprisoned in it appear. Shadow looks at it with wide eyes.'']
 * Mephiles: Yes that's you. After the world was devastated by Iblis' flames what do you think happened? A search for the guilty. What did this you may ask? Humanity wasn't just jealous of your power. They feared it. they used this incident as an excuse to hunt you down. Come with me, Shadow. Let us punish this foolish world of humanity. It is only fair to give back what was intended for you. You have every right to want justice.
 * Shadow: That's absurd. Whatever it is you want to do, you can do it alone.
 * Mephiles: You forgive humanity this folly then?
 * Shadow: I determine my own destiny.

[Mephiles transforms into his crystalline form and prepares to fight Shadow.]

Omega appears
[''Flame Core. Mephiles is down as Shadow approaches him, but Mephiles gets up and knocks Shadow into a tree with an energy ball, incapacitating him. As Mephiles moves towards Shadow, Omega appears and shoots between Mephiles and Shadow.'']
 * Shadow: Omega!
 * Omega: Now is the designated time. [Retracts arm cannon] I shall assist.

Mephiles flees
[''Flame Core. Mephiles is knocked down and tries to get up as Shadow and Omega face him.'']
 * Mephiles: [Growls]

[Mephiles gets back on his feet and forms a purple orb he escapes into.]
 * Shadow: Mephiles!

[Shadow and Omega jump into the orb just before it disappears.]

Shadow & Omega return to the present
[''New City, day. A purple orb appears which deposits Shadow and Omega. Shadow looks around.'']
 * Omega: It appears Mephiles is no longer here. I will assist in pursuing him.

[Shadow nods and start walking away.]

Working with Rouge
[''New City, day. Rouge finds Shadow and Omega in the warehouse district.'']
 * Rouge: Hi. It seems like Eggman's machines are looking for you. What did you do this time?
 * Shadow: Nothing. Their target is probably Mephiles.
 * Omega: What is Eggman up to? Who is Mephiles?
 * Shadow: I'm gonna ask him directly. [Starts walking away]
 * Rouge: Hey, wait a sec!
 * Shadow: I can handle this alone. You keep track of Mephiles. [Walks away from Rouge and Omega]
 * Rouge: Hmph. He finally shows up again and then he leaves before even saying, "Hello." Well, it seems his little trip hasn't changed him. [Uses wrist communicator] This is Rouge. GUN HQ? Yes, pull all available data on an item called the Scepter of Darkness for me.

Who is Mephiles?
[''Radical Train, day. Shadow breaks into Dr. Eggman's train through the roof.'']
 * Eggman: Wouldn't the door have been easier? So, what do you want now?
 * Shadow: Who is Mephiles? And why are you trying to capture him?
 * Eggman: If you want to know, you should go find him yourself. But here's a hint... It's all linked to the Soleanna disaster 10 years ago.
 * Shadow: The Solaris Project.
 * Eggman: Indeed. When you capture Mephiles, you must bring him to me. Then I'll tell you the truth about Solaris.

[Shadow nods hesitantly.]

Helping Sonic
[''Radical Train, day. Sonic is running away while carrying Elise.'']
 * Elise: I knew it... I knew you'd return! You had to!

[Sonic jumps to the side as an energy is fired by Silver.]
 * Sonic: ...You again.
 * Silver: This time there will be no more interruptions! The Iblis Trigger must die!
 * Elise: Sonic...

[''Silver fires an energy blast which Sonic dodges. Silver then grabs Sonic in a psychokinetic hold, paralyzing him.'']
 * Eggman: So how was you little walk, Princess? [Appears and grabs Elise with the Egg Mobile before flying away.]
 * Sonic: Elise!
 * Silver: [Strengths his hold on Sonic] It's time to end this!

[Shadow, having seen what was going on, jumps between Sonic and Silver, freeing Sonic.]
 * Silver: Who? Mephiles! Why are you getting in my way?
 * Shadow: I'm Shadow. Shadow The Hedgehog.

[''Sonic gives Shadow a thumbs up and runs away. Shadow and Silver prepare to fight.'']

10 years ago
[''Radical Train, day. With both of them exhausted, Silver tries to punch Shadow with a shout.'']
 * Shadow: [Pulls out the green Chaos Emerald] Chaos Control! [Time is slowed down and Shadow kicks Silver on the head.]
 * Silver: [Gets back up] You...
 * Shadow: Don't bother. With a Chaos Emerald's power, I control time and space. You can't break free.
 * Silver: I won't give up! It all depends on me! Can't lose... Not when I'm so close! [Pulls out the blue Chaos Emerald and runs at Shadow with a shout]
 * Shadow: Chaos...
 * Silver: Chaos...
 * Shadow and Silver: [Both step around the other and hold up their respective Chaos Emeralds, their hands coming into contact] ...Control!

[A Time-Space rift opens between Shadow and Silver.]
 * Shadow: You... induced a Chaos Control.
 * Silver: I won't let anyone get in my way! I'll change the past and save the world!
 * Shadow: Mephiles isn't trying to help you create a better future... He's trying to eliminate the past.
 * Silver: What? What are you talking about?
 * Shadow: To discover what happened, it seems we must see what took place 10 years ago. Follow me if you want the truth. [Jumps into the Time-Space rift.]

[Silver hesitates at first, but decides to follow Shadow and jumps into the Time-Space rift.]

The accident 10 years ago
[Aquatic Base. A Time-Space rifts opens and deposits Shadow and Silver in a long corridor. The scene shifts to a large room with the Duke of Soleanna and some scientists watching a cylinder filled with sparkling orange energy.]
 * Scientist: An electromagnetic pulse has just been generated! Injecting decompression agent! No, the level's not dropping! A spatial meltdown is inevitable! My Lord, it's too late! We've got to take shelter!
 * Duke: Why, Solaris? Why do you refuse to listen to my voice?
 * Elise: [Comes running] Father!
 * Duke: Elise!

[''As the cylinder is about blow up, the Duke shelters Elise from the explosion. Shadow and Silver see the explosion and runs to it. Upon entering the room, Shadow and Silver check on the duke and the scientists when they see Solaris split into Iblis and Mephiles.'']
 * Silver: Is that? That flame... It's Iblis!
 * Shadow: And the black shadow is the original Mephiles.
 * Silver: That's Mephiles!? [Mephiles and Iblis flee] They're escaping!
 * Shadow: We'll have to split up, I'll pursue Mephiles.
 * Silver: Ok, then leave Iblis to me!
 * Duke: Wait. Seal it with this... [Holds out the Scepter of Darkness to Shadow]
 * Silver: Hurry!

[''Silver runs away before Shadow takes the Scepter of Darkness and leaves as well. The duke starts picking up an unconscious Elise.'']

Sealing Mephiles
[''Aquatic Base. Mephiles in his liquid form slithers away.'']
 * Shadow: [Holds up the green Chaos Emerald] Chaos Control!
 * Mephiles: ...What? ...Stop!

[''Shadow lets the Scepter of Darkness float in front of him. The scepter glows, beginning the process of drawing Mephiles into it.'']
 * Mephiles: Who...... Who are... You?
 * Shadow: I'm Shadow. Shadow The Hedgehog.
 * Mephiles: Shadow... Your face... Your form... I will remember. Your death... Certain... You... will die!

[''Mephiles is sucked completely into the Scepter of Darkness, sealing him within it. After it falls to the ground, Shadow slowly picks the scepter up.'']

Leaving the Scepter of Darkness
[''Kingdom Valley, day. Shadow meets Silver, holding Elise, outside the castle.'']
 * Silver: Did you do it?
 * Shadow: Yes. And you?
 * Silver: ...Yes. The "Flames" are properly sealed. It's done.

[''Silver places a sleeping Elise at a tree. Shadow looks at the Scepter of Darkness and places it next to Elise.'']
 * Silver: You're going to leave it behind?
 * Shadow: Yes, I already know what becomes of it in the future. It's time to return.
 * Silver: Yes... Of course...
 * Shadow and Silver: [Both pull out their Chaos Emerald] Chaos Control!

[''A Time-Space rift is formed and Shadow jumps into it. Silver looks briefly at Elise before jumping into the Time-Space rift too.'']

The sealing revealed
[''New City, day. A Time-Space rift appears, depositing Shadow right in front of Rouge.'']
 * Rouge: You're back sooner than I expected. Omega is still in pursuit of Mephiles. So, where's the kid? What did you find 10 years ago?
 * Shadow: I need you to access GUN's database. Specifically, find out what materials the Scepter of Darkness was made from.
 * Rouge: Sure. But you haven't answered my question yet!
 * Shadow: I found the means to seal Mephiles.

[Shadow walks away with Rouge right behind him.]

Omega's confession
[''Wave Ocean, day. Omega is shooting Mephiles with limited success.'']
 * Mephiles: This only proves you were created to stop Shadow, the ultimate life form. Don't tell me you didn't know. You may have been programmed by humanity, but what you did to Shadow in the future, that was your...

[''Omega transforms his hands into gating guns and shoots Mephiles who after taking all shots disappears in a puff of smoke laughing. Shadow and Rouge arrive on the scene.'']
 * Rouge: What just happened?
 * Omega: Shadow. The one that defeats and seals you in the future... is me.

[The scene shifts as Omega explains his story.]
 * Rouge: It's... It's so unfair! Shadow's always here to defend the world! Despite that!
 * Omega: Eventually, when something or someone is seen as too powerful... It is seen as a threat, and then the world becomes its enemy.

[Shadow walks away.]
 * Rouge: Shadow... Even if you believe everyone in the world will be against you. Know that I'll always remain by your side. Remember that.
 * Shadow: [Stops walking] I will. [Resumes walking]

To the ruins
[''Dusty Desert, day. Shadow, Rouge and Omega are standing in the desert.'']
 * Rouge: Mephiles appears to have headed for those ruins. He's probably looking for the Chaos Emerald that's supposed to be there.
 * Shadow: There's no doubt in my mind. his movement shows he's seeking any Chaos Emerald he can find. Supposedly, he needs one in order to join with Iblis again.
 * Omega: I will seal him before that.

[Shadow, Rouge and Omega head towards the ruins.]

Mephiles' temptation
[''Dusty Desert. Shadow, Rouge and Omega stop on a platform.'']
 * Shadow: Mephiles!
 * Mephiles: [Holding the yellow Chaos Emerald] I was expecting you sooner. As you must know, you're already too late. But there's still time for you to change your mind. Join me, Shadow. Let us teach this world a lesson and rewrite the future.
 * Shadow: Don't try to deceive me.
 * Mephiles: What?
 * Shadow: You have no desire for revenge. You only crave destruction. Your only lust is to fuel Iblis until there is nothing left of time itself.
 * Mephiles: It's a pity, Shadow The Hedgehog. [Levitates the yellow Chaos Emerald into the air] Truly a shame that you wish to go against me!

[Shadow, Rouge and Omega are pushed back by an invisible force and the entire platform's surface turns dark.]

Showdown with Mephiles
[''Mephiles melts into a puddle and Shadow tries to seal Mephiles in the Scepter of Darkness. However, the scepter explodes in a bright light when Mephiles enters it.'']
 * Rouge: It's destroyed!
 * Mephiles: [Swirls into a solid figure in the air] The "I" of now absorbed your power through your shadow in the past. What may have worked 10 years ago, no longer does!

[Mephiles releases shock waves that knocks Shadow, Rouge and Omega down briefly before using the green and yellow Chaos Emerald to make hundreds of copies of himself.]
 * Mephiles: You must realize now that you cannot hope to stop me with your limited power.
 * Shadow: So you say...
 * Mephiles: It's futile. The world will betray you. Why fight at all? Why risk your life for those who will persecute you later?
 * Shadow: [Removes his gold rings] If the world chooses to become my enemy, I will fight like I always have!

[The Mephiles copies swarm Shadow, Rouge and Omega, but Shadow unleashes a large yellow aura, allowing him and Rouge and Omega to plow through the Mephiles clones.]

The ruined world of the future
[''Unknown city, sometime in the far future. There are ruins of buildings everywhere. Silver is flying around the city slowly, looking for any flames.'']
 * Silver: This world was devastated before I was born. A harsh, bleak place, where we live in eternal darkness. Life is a struggle, and people live without hope. How did this happen? No one will answer me directly. But they always point... to the flames. [Silver uses a psychokinetic blast to clear the flames in front of him.] These flames. They burn away at my world destroying everything in their path. They come from a eternal life form we cannot truly defeat. The Flames of Disaster known as Iblis.
 * Blaze: Silver!
 * Silver: Blaze, what's wrong?
 * Blaze: He's appeared again!

[Silver flies away as Blaze jumps quickly from roof to roof.]

Confrontation with Iblis
[''Silver and Blaze have gone through Crisis City and are running right up to confront Iblis, who emerges as a golem monster ready to attack with a roar. They are stunned but look up.'']
 * Silver: Come on, you monster!

[Iblis moves on and roars in the flames.]

Mephiles appears
[A pit of molten lava is shown where Iblis once stood.]
 * Blaze: Looks like we stopped it for now.
 * Silver: But, it'll just rise up from its ashes again. [Hits a brick wall with his fist in frustration.] What's the point of all this? It'll never end.
 * Blaze: Calm down, Silver.
 * Silver: [disappointed] Then tell me what we should do. How can we completely destroy Iblis?

[''Blaze is unsure what to do and closes her eyes to think. All of a sudden a'' dark voice is heard.]
 * Mephiles: ...By knowing the truth, of course.

[Silver looks around to see who spoke, and he and Blaze look up at Mephiles, on top of a ruined building.]
 * Mephiles: Just as a flower comes from a seed, or a chicken comes from an egg, everything has an origin. You need to find the being originally responsible for this catastrophe. [raises his fist]
 * Silver: Is that really the answer to our problem? [Silver points at Mephiles.] Tell me, do you know who it is?

[''Mephiles looks at Silver with a sinister look in his eyes. Scene fades to black.'']

“He’s the Iblis Trigger!”
[Mephiles leads Blaze and Silver into the database.]
 * Mephiles: To fix this present timeline, you need to change the past.

[The group looks around the database.]
 * Silver: But, that's impossible.
 * Mephiles: With my help, you can, because I have the power to travel through time!
 * Silver: [Surprised] No way!
 * Mephiles: In order to change the past, you must eliminate the individual who has awakened Iblis. The Iblis Trigger.

[Silver and Blaze think and ponder, then...]
 * Silver: If I eliminate that guy, will our world be saved?
 * Mephiles: [Nods] The Day of Disaster... Here are my records of this event. This was when Iblis was freed and his flames were released into the world.

[Mephiles turns on the computer, and Silver and Blaze see images of Soleanna and other things.]
 * Mephiles: And you have this person to blame.

[''Mephiles takes out the purple Chaos Emerald and shows it to Silver, who takes it and gazes upon it. A vision of Sonic and the flames appears, and the camera makes a close-up of Sonic staring blankly.'']
 * Silver: I see it! So, that blue hedgehog's the Iblis Trigger?

[Blaze gets closer to Silver and stares at him and the emerald.]
 * Blaze: Blue hedgehog...

[Silver hands the emerald back to Mephiles.]
 * Mephiles: I'll send us back in time to the point when the Iblis Trigger was alive.

[Mephiles generates a sphere with his hands, places it on Silver and Blaze, and the three of them vanish. Scene fades to black.]

Silver goes to the present
[''It is a bright, sunny day in present-day Tropical Jungle. A portal has opened up, and Silver jumps out of it alone as it closes. He looks around.'']
 * Silver: Where am I? [Sees that Blaze and Mephiles are not here] Blaze? [Looks again] Blaze! [Finds that no one is here] I guess we all got separated. [Looks around] This is so unbelievable. [Sees the path ahead near a tree and looks up at it] Now I must fight for the future!

[''Silver throws his fist around and runs off through the Tropical Jungle. Scene'' fades to black.]

Blaze goes to the present
[Blaze somehow finds herself at Wave Ocean and walks in the sand between a house and a palm tree.]
 * Blaze: So this is the past... [Sees two houses near the sand and puts her hands on her hips] I hope Silver is OK. He's pretty insecure when he's alone. [Looks around and ponders] The Iblis Trigger. Blue hedgehog...

[Blaze bows her head down and looks up, then walks off as the camera pulls away from the hillside for a bird's-eye view. Scene fades to black.]

Meeting Amy
[''At the night of the Soleanna Festival, Sonic has just watched the Egg Carrier fly away with Elise and Eggman inside. Sonic has the blue Chaos Emerald that she had given to him in his hand. The camera pulls away from him to Silver at a bird's-eye view of him atop one of the houses.'']
 * Silver: I've finally found him... the Iblis Trigger!

[''Silver makes a fist, as if he knows that vengeance will soon be his. He jumps off'' and lands on the rooftop and is about to go after Sonic when Amy grabs him.]
 * Amy: Now I've got you, Sonic!
 * Silver: Hey!
 * Amy: It's about time I finally caught you again! [Opens her eyes and looks at Silver in shock] Hey! You're not Sonic! [Slaps him and speaks, embarrassed] Um... I'm sorry!

[''Silver tumbles but tries to gain his balance. Amy buries her face in her hands as he looks at her.'']
 * Silver: Ah, I'm... [Sees that Sonic has vanished] Huh? Hey, where'd he go? [Looks around again] He must have run off!
 * Amy: [Goes to Silver] I'm sorry. Did you miss someone because of me?
 * Silver: Ah... it's okay. I'm sure the guy I'm looking for is still on the island. I'm sure I can still find him.
 * Amy: [Grabs Silver's hand] Well then, I'll help you!
 * Silver: What?
 * Amy: Two heads are better than one when looking for someone!
 * Silver: Hey, just wait a second!
 * Amy: [Closed up] What's your name?
 * Silver: [Pauses for a moment] ...Silver.
 * Amy: That's a nice name. I'm Amy Rose. It's nice to meet you! [Runs off with Silver, holding his hand]
 * Silver: Ah... Hey, wait!

[''Camera goes to a far-off view of the Soleanna Cathedral near a bridge. Scene fades to black.'']

This is a nice place
[Amy and Silver are at the Dusty Desert oasis.]
 * Amy: Hmm... I sense Sonic's presence there. [Points out ahead while Silver walks in exhaustion] Call it my girlish intuition.

[The duo look around for Sonic.]
 * Silver: What am I doing?
 * Amy: [Looks at Silver] Sorry. As soon as I find Sonic, I'll help you find who you're looking for, Silver.
 * Silver: [Silver shakes his head and thinks for a moment, then looks up] This looks so beautiful.
 * Amy: What? You mean this desert?
 * Silver: Everything is so great here, isn't it? The sky is gorgeous, and everyone's happy...
 * Amy: [Looks at him in confusion] Huh?
 * Silver: [Quickly turns around] Let's go. I'll help you find who you're looking for.

[Amy nods, and they both run off through the Dusty Desert as the scene fades to black]

Finding the Iblis Trigger
[Amy and Silver have returned to Castle Town in disappointment.]
 * Amy: I can't believe we haven't located Sonic yet. Gee, I wonder where he went...

[''The duo look around the town, and Silver sees something in surprise. He sees Sonic and Elise return to town. Sonic suddenly motions his hand to stop and grabs her as Silver's psychokinetic blast appears, and he jumps to avoid it as she screams. He suddenly hears Silver's voice and they both look up.'']
 * Silver: I've been looking for you. You're the Iblis Trigger.

[Silver drops down to the ground and looks at Sonic and Elise, then points a finger at him.]
 * Silver: Your actions will condemn us all.
 * Sonic: [Gets in front of Elise] Who are you?
 * Silver: My name is Silver. [Points at Sonic again] For the future of the world, I will destroy you!

[Sonic prepares to fight Silver.]

Amy puts her foot down
[Sonic is on the floor gasping for breath as Silver walks toward him and kneels down.]
 * Silver: Hmph! Is this a joke? How could someone like you cause the destruction of our world?

[Elise looks as giant mechanical hands approach from behind her to grab her.]
 * Sonic: What do you... mean?
 * Silver: [Gets up] It doesn't matter. For the sake of the future, the Iblis Trigger must be destroyed!

[Silver is about to destroy Sonic when Elise's scream is heard, and both look at her being grabbed by Eggman's Egg Genesis as it flies off.]
 * Sonic: Elise!? Wait!

[Sonic tries to run when Silver hits him with a psychokinetic blast again.]
 * Silver: Don't you dare turn your back on me! It's time I finally put an end to this! [Silver is about to finish him off when Amy arrives.]
 * Amy: Stop!

[Amy appears and guards Sonic out of harm's way.]
 * Sonic: Amy?
 * Silver: [Furious] Get out of my way, Amy! This is my mission!
 * Amy: [Shakes her head] Absolutely not!

[Silver's patience is starting to run thin as Sonic gets up.]
 * Sonic: Thanks Amy, I appreciate it. [Runs off to find Elise]
 * Amy: Leave it to me.

[Sonic runs off to chase Elise as the scene fades to black.]

Amy leaves
[Amy is still in Silver's way in Soleanna.]
 * Amy: The person you were looking for was Sonic? Were you planning to kill him?
 * Silver [Ponders for a bit then speaks angrily] He's responsible for destroying my world.
 * Amy: That's crazy! [Points at him and accuses him] Sonic would never do that!
 * Silver: But it's true! In the near future, his actions will cause the devastation of my world. So I must...
 * Amy: No! I don't believe it. Even if that was true. If I had to choose between the world and Sonic, I would choose Sonic!

[''Amy runs off in disbelief, and Silver tries to explain, but stops. He hangs his head down in confusion, wondering what to do. Scene fades to black.'']

Is it right...?
[''Silver sits down at the harbor steps in New City, still in wonder over Sonic for a long time. Just then Blaze arrives, and puts her hands on her hips.'']
 * Blaze: So this is where you are. I've been looking for you.

[''Silver hears her voice, but turns his head back to the shore, still pondering. She walks up to him on the steps.'']
 * Blaze: What's wrong? [Looks at him closely as he ponders]
 * Silver: [Sighs] Well, uh, Blaze. To kill someone to save the world... [Turns his head to the shore again] Is that really the right thing to do?
 * Blaze: [Puts her hands on her hips again in disappointment] You're so naive. Whether it's right or wrong, I can't really say... [Turns his head to her, clueless] But what I do know is... [Crosses her arms] If we don't take this chance, the future will remain exactly as it is.

[Blaze makes a sad face, and Silver looks up to her and nods, then gets up.]
 * Silver: Since he's after Dr. Eggman, let's sneak into Eggman's base. Maybe we'll learn something new.

[Scene fades to black.]

Infiltrating Eggman’s base
[''Silver and Blaze have arrived at Eggman's base in White Acropolis in their search for Sonic. However, the base is closed, and Sonic is nowhere to be seen. Snow falls near the base.'']
 * Silver: Looks like we've arrived a little too late.

[Suddenly the ground trembles beneath them, and they look around to see what has caused it, until they look upward.]
 * Silver: What? Oh no!

[Scene fade to black.]

Obtaining a Chaos Emerald
[''Silver and Blaze discover the blue Chaos Emerald in the snow. Silver approaches the Emerald and kneels down to grab it.'']
 * Blaze: That's a Chaos Emerald.

[Silver gazes upon the Emerald and looks at Blaze, then gets up.]
 * Blaze: It's said this gem can transform your thoughts into power. Collect seven, and a miracle's supposed to happen. Keep it as a lucky charm.

[Blaze walks off while Silver watches, then gazes at the Emerald again.]
 * Silver: It transforms your thoughts into power...

[The camera makes a close-up on the glowing emerald as the scene fades to black.]

Amy meets Elise
[Back at Eggman's base, Amy is slowly looking around for Sonic near a cell door.]
 * Amy: Hmm... I've been trying to find Sonic but now I think I'm in trouble.

[Amy hides beneath the corner of a wall and sees Eggman's three floating robots looking both ways before moving on.]
 * Amy: Maybe I should just walk away real quietly before they spot me.

[Amy sneaks around when Elise opens the cell door in front of her and sees her.]
 * Elise: Oh!

[Both are surprised to see each other when an alarm sounds, and they are cornered.]
 * Sentry: Prisoner has escaped from Cell Block C-17. All patrolling guards, begin searching immediately.
 * Amy: [Turns to Elise] This way!
 * Elise: O... OK!
 * Sentry: [while Amy and Elise are speaking] I repeat: Prisoner has escaped from Cell Block C-17.

[''Amy and Else both run away from the alarm while the sentry is speaking. Scene fades to black.'']

Elise and Amy’s discussion of love
[Amy and Elise have returned to New City and are walking around the town.]
 * Elise: Thank you so much for rescuing me. I am so grateful!
 * Amy: [Introduces herself] I'm Amy. Amy Rose.
 * Elise: [Introduces herself] My name is Elise.
 * Amy: [Examines Elise] Elise... Wait, you're not Elise, the Princess of Soleanna, are you? I'll bet someone's already on their way to rescue you.
 * Elise: Um, yes, but someone I know said to me... "Nothing starts until you take action." So I decided to heed his advice.
 * Amy: Hmm... You wouldn't happen to have some feelings for this person, would you?
 * Elise: [Embarrassed] What? No! Of course not.
 * Amy: [Interrupting] It's OK. Love changes everything. [Walks and looks up] It feels like every little moment in your life is huge! [Spreads her arms wide on the word "huge" and turns to Elise with sparkles around her] Doesn't it?

[Elise looks at her, then hangs her head down.]
 * Amy: So, what does this guy look like? Have you already been on a date with him?
 * Elise: Well, no... I really haven't...
 * Amy: A one-way love? That's so cute. Come on, there's no need to be shy. Look, you're a Princess and you're super cute. That guy's the lucky one! I also have someone that I'm pursuing, too. I wish us both luck!

[Amy holds both hands to Elise's, and both laugh with each other as the scene fades to black.]

Eggman attacks
[''A look-up of the castle is shown. Elise walks around, glad to be inside her home, when Eggman's robot drops down in front of her. She gasps in shock, and more robots drop down, until she is completely surrounded. All of a sudden, Eggman's Egg Genesis flutters downward and approaches her.'']
 * Dr. Eggman: Finally, I've been waiting so patiently for you to return, Princess.

[''Elise looks at him in surprise, then puts her hands on her heart, as if she refuses to be taken in captivity. Scene fades to black.'']

Head for the Train Terminal
[Silver and Blaze have arrived in New City when they discover Mephiles again, with his head hung down.]
 * Silver: Mephiles...

[Silver and Blaze look at each other, then they look at Mephiles again.]
 * Silver: Tell me. Who is the Iblis Trigger? Why does he want to destroy the world?
 * Mephiles: [Looks up] Why does that matter to you? [Points at Silver]
 * Mephiles: Unless you complete your task, your future will remain the same... forever. [Looks at Silver, then puts his hand down]
 * Mephiles: He's currently at the terminal station. It's now or never if you want this. [Mephiles shows a path to Silver, then walks away. Blaze gets a closer look at the path, then looks at Silver. After a few moments, he moves onward, and she follows him. Scene fades to black.]

Shadow appears
[Sonic has just rescued Elise from the exploding Radical Train and now runs from the railroad tracks with her.]
 * Elise: I knew it. I knew you'd return! You had to!

[''All of a sudden a psychokinetic blast attacks them and Sonic jumps backward. He sets her down again and they see Silver in front of them again.'']
 * Sonic: ...You again.
 * Silver: This time there will be no more interruptions! [Points at Sonic] The Iblis Trigger... must die!
 * Elise: Sonic.

[''Silver uses a psychokinetic blast that knocks Sonic onto the floor. Silver then traps him with Psychoshock, draining his energy, and Elise keeps trying to hold back tears.'']
 * Dr. Eggman: So how was your little walk, Princess?

[Eggman's Egg Mobile uses the mechanical hands to grab the screaming Elise and fly off with her.]
 * Sonic: Elise!

[Silver uses another Psychoshock to stun Sonic and gives a "hmph".]
 * Silver: It's time to end this!

[Silver is about to finish him off when he sees Shadow drop down in front of him in the nick of time.]
 * Silver: [Surprised] Who?

[Shadow and Silver look at each other.]
 * Silver: Mephiles! Why are you getting in my way?
 * Shadow: [Gets up] I'm Shadow. Shadow the Hedgehog.

[''Both look at each other in confusion, and Shadow looks at the recovering Sonic, who gives a nod and a thumb up to him for saving his life. Sonic then gets up and runs off to find Elise and Eggman while Shadow has to deal with Silver, and both prepare to fight as the scene fades to black.'']

10 years ago
[''Silver has just fought Shadow, and both are exhausted from all the fighting. Silver angrily raises his fist to attack him, but Shadow holds up the green Chaos Emerald aloft.'']
 * Shadow: Chaos Control!

[''The blast slows down Silver while Shadow avoids his punch and kicks him from behind, knocking him down. Silver looks at him and gets up, all worn out and paralyzed.'']
 * Silver: You...
 * Shadow: Don't bother. With a Chaos Emerald's power, I control time and space. You can't break free. [Holds out the emerald]
 * Silver: I won't give up! It all depends on me! [Shrugs his shoulders] Can't lose. Not when I'm so close!

[Silver finally gets up and takes out the blue emerald, holds it aloft, and yells out in fury. He goes to Shadow and his green emerald.]
 * Shadow: [Holds the emerald aloft] Chaos...
 * Silver: [Same time as Shadow] Chaos...
 * Shadow and Silver: Control! [A light emerges from both emeralds, and both hedgehogs jump back from each other as it splits up.]
 * Silver: Huh?

[A space-time rift opens up in front of them.]
 * Shadow: [In wonder] You... induced [script error adds an "a"] Chaos Control.
 * Silver: I won't let anyone get in my way! I'll change the past and save the world.
 * Shadow: [Shakes his head in disappointment] Mephiles isn't trying to help you create a better future... He's trying to eliminate the past.
 * Silver: [Confused] What? What are you talking about?
 * Shadow: [Walks up to him] To discover what happened, it seems we must see what took place 10 years ago.

[Silver wonders what this could mean.]
 * Shadow: Follow me if you want the truth.

[S''hadow jumps into the portal, and Silver looks at it and pauses a bit before nodding and going into it. Scene fades to black.'']

The accident 10 years ago
[''A portal opens up, and Silver and Shadow arrive in Soleanna ten years ago and land on a metal floor. They get up and wonder where they are, then they see a long hallway. Scene cuts to the laboratory, where the Solaris Project is going haywire.'']
 * Scientist: An electromagnetic pulse has just been generated! Injecting [a] decompression agent! No, the level's not dropping!

[The Solaris Project scientists are having a hard time controlling it.]
 * Scientist: A spatial meltdown is inevitable! My Lord, it's too late! We've got to take shelter!
 * Duke of Soleanna: [Slams his fists on the machine] Why, Solaris? Why do you refuse to listen to my voice?
 * Elise: Father! [Runs up to the Duke]
 * Duke of Soleanna: [Surprised] Elise!

[''The Duke of Soleanna looks at little Elise when a noise is heard. He quickly looks at the Solaris Project and shelters Elise as an explosion rocks the laboratory. Shadow and Silver notice the explosion, look at each other, and run off to the lab. Scene fades out then fades back in to the smoldering lab in ruins, with its glass windows broken. Silver and Shadow arrive at the site of the accident. They look at each other, then jump down to the floor and get up. Shadow notices the Duke, runs up to him, and checks him for a pulse. He tries to wake up the unconscious Duke while Silver kneels down near the scientist's dead body and looks at something.'']
 * Silver: Is that!?

[Silver notices the birth of the Flames of Disaster, whose light fades out into a dwarf and splits up, dropping blob bits into the water.]
 * Silver: That flame... It's Iblis!

[The Flames of Disaster grow larger.]
 * Shadow: And the black shadow is the original Mephiles.
 * Silver: That's Mephiles!?

[The flame, Iblis, flies out of the lab while the black blob puddle, Mephiles, oozes out of there.]
 * Silver: They're escaping!
 * Shadow: We'll have to split up. I'll pursue Mephiles.
 * Silver: OK. Then leave Iblis to me!

[Shadow nods, and he and Silver begin to chase the two parts.]
 * Duke of Soleanna: [Weakly] Wait.

[''Shadow sees that the Duke is still alive, then runs up to him. The Duke, terribly wounded in the explosion, tries getting up and takes out some sort of scepter. He sees Shadow though he is weak.'']
 * Duke of Soleanna: Seal it with this...

[The Scepter of Darkness is shown in close-up.]
 * Silver: Hurry!

[''As Silver runs off, Shadow takes the Scepter of Darkness from the Duke and follows the other hedgehog out of the lab. The wounded Duke is thankful for Shadow while little 7-year-old Elise lies unconscious next to her father, who takes care of her as the scene fades to black.'']

Iblis’ Seal
[Silver uses his psychokinesis to entrap Iblis, and tries to hold up his strength as best as he can, when he notices the weakened Duke approaching, holding his unconscious daughter.]
 * Silver: Hey! What are you doing? You've got to leave!
 * Duke of Soleanna: I have my duty. This Living Flame has been entrusted to the royal family. [Approaches Iblis] The Flames of Disaster will awaken if nothing is done! That must not happen. [The Duke sets Elise down on the altar and takes out the white Chaos Emerald, then holds it aloft and launches it upward. The Duke takes a few steps backward and prays.]
 * Duke of Soleanna: Eternal Sun! The Living Flame that has been entrusted to the royal family! Fall into slumber with a royal soul! [Duke lifts his hands upward, and Iblis shrinks, becoming minuscule, and vanishes into the emerald, which then injects it as a beam of light into Elise, who moves a little. Silver's psychokinesis stops and he looks in wonder. The Duke collapses on the altar, weakened and all worn out and trying to breathe. Silver looks at him as he picks up the unconscious Elise and stumbles onto him.]
 * Duke of Soleanna: [Weakly] I'm sorry, but... [Looks at Silver] Can you take her to a safe place?

[''Silver clutches Elise in his arms as her father falls to the floor and takes one last look at her and Silver. The Duke takes her hand and places it on her other hand, then cradles her head softly.'']
 * Duke of Soleanna: That's a good girl, Elise. Remember, be brave. Don't cry, no matter what happens. Otherwise your tears will call forth the flames inside you... Become a strong queen who doesn't cry no matter what happens. And... live... happily...

[''The Duke crumbles onto the floor and breathes his last breath. Silver looks at the Duke's dead body, then at the altar, and then at Elise. He grieves a bit over her father, and looks up at the sky and the emerald as the camera pulls away. Scene fades to black.'']

The Talisman
[Outside the Aquatic Base, Silver clutches the unconscious Elise in his arms as Shadow walks out to him with Mephiles sealed in the Scepter of Darkness in Kingdom Valley.]
 * Silver: Did you do it?
 * Shadow: Yes. And you?
 * Silver: [Pauses and nods] ...Yes. The "Flames" are properly sealed. It's done.

[''Silver carries her and sets her near a tree, then looks at her. Shadow holds up the Scepter of Darkness, then walks around and looks at them both. He kneels down and sets the Scepter on the grass near the same tree. The camera makes a close-up of Mephiles sealed inside the Scepter.'']
 * Silver: You're going to leave it behind?
 * Shadow: Yes, I already know what becomes of it in the future... [Looks at Silver, then stands up and takes out the green Chaos Emerald] It's time to return.

[Silver gets up, looks at Elise, and walks away.]
 * Silver: Yes... Of course...

[Both hedgehogs have each emerald in hand, approach each other, and hold them aloft.]
 * Shadow and Silver: Chaos Control!

[''The light emerges from both emeralds once again and splits up, opening a space-time rift in front of them. Shadow jumps into it, and Silver looks at Elise once again. She starts to move around, and he walks to the portal as she moves.'']
 * Elise: [Mumbles] Father...

[''Silver looks at her, then takes out the blue emerald, looks at it one last time, then goes to her slowly. He kneels down at her dormant body, then takes her hand, and sets the emerald upon it.'']
 * Silver: It's a lucky charm.

[''Silver sets the blue Chaos Emerald and her hand down on her lap, and Elise moves around again to the other side. He gets up and takes one last look at her, then turns around, runs, and jumps into the time portal as it closes. It is assumed that he already has the white emerald from the Duke of Soleanna. Scene fades to black.'']

Meeting up with Blaze
[Back at present-day Soleanna, the portal opens up, and Silver drops to the ground in front of Blaze, who looks at him.]
 * Silver: Blaze...
 * Blaze: [Crosses her arms] What did you see?
 * Silver: [Looks down and pauses for a second] The Iblis Trigger... wasn't Sonic the Hedgehog.
 * Blaze: I see...

[''Crowds of people noise. Silver turns around at the commotion.'']
 * Silver: They're quite noisy.
 * Blaze: Yes. I heard that the Princess here left for Dr. Eggman's base in response to his earlier threat.
 * Silver: [Surprised] What if his ultimate objective was to release Iblis?

[''Blaze turns to him in surprise. They both nod at each other and walk off as the scene fades to black.'']

Things have changed
[''Sonic runs through the Tropical Jungle when Eggman's mechs arrive to attack him. He slides and sees them, prepared to fight them, and one of them raises a gun to him when all the robots are grabbed by a Psychoshock, and Silver drops down and uses blasts from both hands to knock them all out, causing them to explode on the ground. He then turns to Sonic.'']
 * Silver: You look like you're in a hurry.
 * Sonic: [Crosses his arms] ...So what's going on?
 * Silver [Pauses] Circumstances have changed. [Turns to Sonic again] I need to rescue the Princess.

[Sonic nods in approval, then he gives a thumb up and runs off, and Silver follows as the scene fades to black.]

Each future
[''As Sonic and Silver make it through Kingdom Valley, the Egg Carrier, engulfed in flames, falls through the dark clouds near a hilltop and plunges downward. As Sonic, Silver and Blaze arrive, an explosion is heard, and they stop at the sight of the Egg Carrier crashing onto a hilltop.'']
 * Sonic: [In shock] Elise!

[''Sonic drops to the ground in despair and slams his fist in anger and grief. Silver and Blaze are in mourning for Elise. But then Silver looks up and realizes something, then looks at Sonic.'']
 * Silver: Wait, there's still a way to change this.

[Blaze looks at him, and Sonic is recovering from grief and loss and looks at him.]
 * Silver: If we return to an earlier point in time, we'll be able to save her.

[Sonic recovers and takes a look at the hillside where the Egg Carrier crashes, then gets up.]
 * Sonic: I understand.

[''Silver holds out the white Chaos Emerald, and Sonic holds out the turquoise one. He walks up to Silver while Blaze is watching. Both hedgehogs nod at each other and hold the emeralds aloft.'']
 * Sonic and Silver: Chaos Control!

[''The light emerges from the emeralds and splits up, opening a space-time rift. Both hedgehogs look at the portal, and Sonic quickly runs and tosses the turquoise emerald to him.'']
 * Sonic: Silver!

[Silver catches the emerald with his left hand.]
 * Sonic: I can handle this myself. Besides, you've got somewhere to go, [script error adds a "to"] right?
 * Silver: [Amazed] You...
 * Sonic: I'll make sure to change Elise's fate. [Raises a fist and looks at Silver before continuing] And that in turn should change your future, too.

[Silver, with a Chaos Emerald in each hand, nods in agreement as Blaze puts her hands on her hips in wonder.]
 * Sonic: [Gives a thumb up] Thank you, Silver!
 * Silver: Yeah... Just save her.

[''Sonic nods and jumps into the rift. Silver and Blaze turn and nod at each other, then both jump into the portal one by one. Scene fades to black.'']

Return to the future
[''Silver and Blaze have arrived back at the future at the volcano. Silver is holding both Chaos Emeralds in each hand.'']
 * Silver: I know how to save our world, now. We don't have to change the past. I'm sure of it.
 * Blaze: So you have a plan?

[Silver looks at her and nods.]
 * Blaze: Well then, let's hurry. I sense his flames.

[''Blaze walks and looks around, then looks at Silver. Both look at each other and know what to do, and they walk into Flame Core together. Scene fades to black.'']

The last battle
[Silver and Blaze are running right up to confront Iblis, who emerges from the flames for one final fight.]
 * Silver: C'mon, Iblis! This time I'll finally stop you!

[Iblis gives out a roar and approaches to attack them.]

Sealing Iblis
[''After the battle, the flame pillar rises up, and bits of magma fall onto the ground. Iblis becomes a ball of flame again.'']
 * Silver: [Holding both Chaos Emeralds] Chaos Emeralds, lend me your power! Eternal Sun! The Living Flame that has been entrusted to the royal family! Fall into slumber with my soul, Iblis! You cursed Flames of Disaster!

[''Both emeralds glow up, and Silver lets out a yell, as Iblis' flames are absorbed into both emeralds at once, which try to inject them as beams of light into Silver. However, the beams seem to hurt him rather than accept him, and light glows on his chest.'']
 * Silver: No! Why won't it accept me as the vessel?

[Silver tries using his strength to seal Iblis in his body, but feels pain each time. Blaze puts her hand on his shoulder, and he looks at her.]
 * Silver: Blaze!
 * Blaze: I'll take Iblis.

[Silver looks at Blaze in shock.]
 * Blaze: Don't worry. My soul is already alit with flames. I will be accepted.

[''Blaze takes the emeralds from him and uses their power between him and Iblis. The emeralds glow up as Silver kneels down, and Iblis is absorbed into both emeralds at once. Flames swirl around her as her chest glows up in light.'']
 * Blaze: Come on, make it quick. Use your Chaos Control... to stop time. Then... seal us into a different dimension.
 * Silver: [In shock] No! I can't do that to you!
 * Blaze: [Looks at him] Didn't we already go through this? We agreed to save the world at any price! [Silver is stunned again, then tries to use Chaos Control, but can't do it.]
 * Silver: [Saddened] I can't! I wouldn't know what to do without you! You've fought alongside me to save the world... You're my friend... Right?
 * Blaze: [Disappointed] You're still so naive. But... [Turns to face Silver] I... I've always liked that about you.

[''Blaze holds out both emeralds, then closes her eyes and focuses her thoughts, then uses their power of Chaos Control. A dark shield appears around her, and she drops both emeralds as she and Iblis fade into the void.'']
 * Silver: Blaze!

[Silver chases the vanishing Blaze and stops at she floats up and waves goodbye.]
 * Blaze: Good luck, Silver.

[''Blaze floats upward and glows up with Iblis as Silver looks up; she floats up to the clouds, and explodes in light. Rays of light descend upon Silver, and Crisis City brightens up, quenching the lava and the flames altogether. Silver looks up in the sky, and the sun appears in the now-clear sky above where Blaze had been. Silver stands next to the two emeralds as he mourns her loss next to the lava pool as the camera pulls upward from them at the cliff. Scene finally fades to black, end credits roll, and "Dreams of an Absolution" is played.'']

Mephiles' smile
[''Forest, day. Mephiles grabs the purple Chaos Emerald floating in front of him as the background turns black. He then slowly looks away.'']

Elise's tears
[''Forest, day. Sonic and Elise are walking through the Forest when they are blinded by the light from the purple Chaos Emerald. Mephiles appears behind them and impales Sonic in the back with an energy beam. Elise screams. Mephiles withdraws his energy beam and Sonic falls to the ground, dead.'']
 * Elise: [Shakes Sonic] Sonic! Sonic!

[Mephiles laughs maniacally.]
 * Elise: [Rolls Sonic over] Sonic?

[The screen turns black and shows Elise as a seven-year-old holding the blue Chaos Emerald.]
 * Duke: Yes, Elise... Don't cry, no matter what happens.
 * Elise: Oh... no. [Screen turns back to normal] Nooooooooo! [Elise cries and Iblis bursts out from her.]
 * Mephiles: [Laughs] Finally, the seal is broken! At long last, I'll be able to join with you! Iblis! Now, Chaos Emerald! It's time for the final curtain call! [Levitates the purple Chaos Emerald into the air]

Shadow & his friends into the light
[''Dusty Desert. Shadow, Rouge and Omega are finished fighting the Mephiles clones. Shadow is putting back his gold rings and is about to get the yellow and green Chaos Emerald on the ground when they suddenly emit a powerful white light, blinding them all.'']

The resurrection of Solaris
[''Mephiles is flying the air with the seven Chaos Emerald supplying him with power. Iblis' flames envelops him and they remerge, re-creating Solaris. In Castle Town, Tails, Knuckles and Amy are waking through the populated streets when suddenly the white light from Solaris envelops Soleanna and the surrounding areas.'']

The time-space rift
[''End of the World. Solaris shines a bright light in the black void and Tails, Knuckles, Amy, Silver, Shadow, Rouge, Omega and Eggman find themselves on a floating fragment of Soleanna.'']
 * Tails: What is this?
 * Amy: Where are we? What's going on?
 * Knuckles: Is this because of that light?
 * Silver: The Chaos Emerald has disappeared...
 * Amy: Silver?
 * Silver: What are doing here? This is all so confusing...
 * Rouge: It's all because of Solaris.
 * Eggman: It seems we were all caught by the spatial distortion. Iblis' seal has been broken. Due to Mephiles manipulation.

[The whole group sees Elise cradling Sonic nearby.]
 * Amy: Sonic?
 * Tails: No... You don't think...
 * Knuckles: Sonic!

[Amy collapses and begins crying while everyone else are emotionally struck by Sonic's death.]
 * Eggman: Mephiles played us all for fools! His plan all along was to cause the Princess to be consumed with despair that she'd cry.
 * Silver: So that's why he wanted me to kill Sonic before...

[''Shadow turns away while closing his eyes and crossing his arms. Meanwhile, Solaris begins giving off strange, loud sounds.'']
 * Silver: Solaris!
 * Eggman: This creature will consume all existing timelines. And time itself will collsapse and disappear into nothingness.
 * Shadow: The instability of time caused this time-space rift.
 * Eggman: It won't remain for much longer.
 * Knuckles: We've no time to waste. We've got to defeat it now!
 * Eggman: No, it is a transcendent life form that exists in the past, present and future. Defeating it here, now, would do nothing.
 * Silver: No, I won't give up. There has to be a way. If you say it exists in the past, present and future, I'll destroy them all at once!
 * Shadow: Certainly, it might have been possible, if he was still alive.
 * Amy: Sonic! Sonic!

[While Amy cries and everyone else mourns, a blue wind blows by which Elise feels.]
 * Elise: Sonic...
 * Silver: What's the matter?
 * Elise: I feel... Sonic's presence in the wind. I don't think he's dead yet! I'm sure of it. It's not too late!
 * Silver: Of course! Let's call him back with power of the Chaos Emeralds! Focus your thoughts on using its power to perform this miracle... [Walks up to Elise] You can do it, Princess!
 * Elise: I can?
 * Silver: You were the vessel that was used to seal Iblis. You should be able to use the gems' power to rescue Sonic's soul!
 * Elise: [Nods] I'll... Do it!
 * Eggman: [Adjusts his glasses into a radar] Solaris flung the Chaos Emeralds to the distant corners of this distorted world.
 * Tails: To collect them all in time, we'll have to split up!
 * Amy: I'll go, too! Because it's for Sonic! So Elise... Watch over him!

[Shadow, Tails, Knuckles, Amy, Silver, Rouge and Omega leave in separate directions, leaving Elise with Sonic.]

Wishing upon the Chaos Emeralds
[''End of the World. Sonic lies lifelessly in the center with the seven Chaos Emeralds surrounding him. Shadow, Tails, Knuckles, Amy, Silver, Rouge, Omega and Eggman stand on the sidelines while Elise prays to the Chaos Emeralds.'']
 * Elise: Oh Chaos Emeralds, gems of miracles. Please heed my call. [Chaos Emeralds start glowing brighter] I wish to save this world. I wish to cleanse my father's sin. And, I wish to talk to Sonic... once again! [The Chaos Emeralds and still lifeless Sonic start levitating into the air.] You have given me so many things. Now it is my time to return the favor. I care not what happens to me. But please heed my voice. Sonic, come back! To me... To us!

[''Elise kisses Sonic and a bright light whites out the screen. When the light dies down, Sonic stands before everyone, revived as Super Sonic. Elise falls into Sonic's arms from exhaustion.'']
 * Super Sonic: Thank you, Elise.

[''Everyone is happy at Sonic's return. After getting Elise back up, Super Sonic turns to Shadow and Silver and transform them into Super Shadow and Super Silver. The trio of super transformed hedgehog then flies up to combat Solaris.'']

Solaris destroyed
[''End of the World. Solaris' light orb is giving off bursts of light and everyone is celebrating their victory. As a bright light envelopes everything, a white flame is formed in a black void.'']

Embers of Solaris
[Sonic and Elise are floating in a black void.]
 * Elise: Did you destroy it?

[A white light appears.]
 * Sonic: ...No. That is the true Solaris.

[Sonic and Elise move into the light.]

Elise puts out the flames
[The scene begins with a flashback where a young Elise and the Duke of Soleanna watching Solaris' original form, a small white flame, in its casing.]
 * Duke: Look, Elise. This is Solaris, the flame of hope.
 * Elise: It's so beautiful...
 * Duke: When the flame has grown large enough, our world will change. Solaris will allow us to control time and move through history. People will be able to rectify past mistakes and avoid bitter fate.
 * Elise: Will we be able to see momma?
 * Duke: Yes, Elise. We'll both be able to see your mother once again.

[The Duke and the young Elise leave Solaris, and the scene turns to the present where the present Elise and Sonic are approaching Solaris' casing.]
 * Elise: This is where everything began. Who knew such a tiny flame could bring such devastation? [Takes out Solaris and its candleholder] If we put out this flame, Solaris will never exist, And then we'll never have to worry about the Flames of Disaster, right? But our encounter... You and I will never meet. It will never have happened. I... To tell the truth, I don't care what happens to the world! [Cries]
 * Sonic: Elise. Just smile.

[''Elise smiles and Sonic assures all will be fine. Elise softly blows out Solaris, and the screen fades to back.'']

Parade: Past memories
[''Castle Town, night. The Festival of the Sun is unfolding and Elise is in her boat waving to the audience. As Sonic comes running, he notices Elise and runs by so fast that he creates a wind that makes Elise lose one of the feathers in her hair. Elise stands in awe after feeling the wind.'']
 * Lady-in-waiting: Miss Elise?
 * Elise: It felt like... like someone was calling me.
 * Lady-in-waiting: I'm sure. It's just the wind.
 * Elise: Of course. But it felt so familiar somehow...

[''Elise continues the festival while Sonic watches it from a rooftop. As Elise's feather flies into the sky, Sonic watches it while smiling fondly. The screen then fades to black and credits roll.'']
