The Little Merhog

This is the transcript for the Adventures of Sonic the Hedgehog episode, "The Little Merhog".

[''The episode begins with a seagull flying through the sky. The seagull squawks as the camera moves down to Tails' bare feet. Tails has a fishing wire tied to his left toe, and is lying down on a fishing dock. He stretches.'']
 * Tails: Ah, there's nothing cooler than relaxing at the seaside with a rod and reel!

[Sonic is revealed to be sitting at the edge of the dock, holding a fishing rod in both his hands.]
 * Sonic: Except when the slow-mo fish aren't biting!

[Sonic reels his fishing rod in, then picks up his tackle box with his left hand.]
 * Sonic: Let's go, Tails! the fishing stinks around here!

[Sonic walks away, and Tails tries to follow him, but the fishing line tied to his left toe pulls him back.]
 * Tails: Hold it, Sonic! I got something! Whoa!

[''Tails gets pulled into the water. Sonic runs back to the dock.'']
 * Sonic: Huh?

[''Tails grunts as he flies into the air, pulling the fishing wire with both his hands. Sonic holds his left thumb up at Tails, then looks down at the other end of the wire. Tails pulls out Merna, who has the other end of the wire in her left arm.'']
 * Merna: Help! Help!
 * Tails: Oh, no! I hooked a girl!

[Sonic runs off the dock as Tails pulls merna towards the edge of the lake.]
 * Tails: Gee, I'm sorry! I didn't see any swimmers on the beach!

[Sonic runs into the water, and up to Merna, who pants heavily.]
 * Merna: Just a little tired! I've been swimming fror hours!

[Sonic walks up to Merna.]
 * Sonic: Well, let me help you out of the water!
 * Merna: Uh, I can't!

[''Sonic picks up Merna with both his hands, revealing her tail fin, and her to be a merhog. Sonic stares in shock at her tail fin.'']
 * Sonic: A merhog? But I thought you were just a myth!
 * Merna: We're real, and we're in danger! Captain Memo is destroying the Sea Floor and polluting the ocean!

[The camera zooms in on Sonic.]
 * Sonic: What's your name, Babe?
 * Merna: Merna.
 * Sonic: Well, this is your lucky day, Merna, because Sonic the Hedgehog has got a sale on! One free rescue to the first merhog who washes up on the beach!
 * Merna: Oh, thank you! Follow me, and I'll take you back to my grotto!

[Merna dives into the water, and Sonic holds up his right index finger.]
 * Sonic: Hold it!

[Merna resurfaces.]
 * Sonic: Much as I hate to admit it, I'm an air-breather!

[Sonic points his left thumb at himself.]
 * Tails: Not today, Bro!

[''Sonic turns to face Tails, who is holding two diving suits; a black one in his right hand, and an orange one in his left. In the next scene, Sonic is wearing the orange diving suit, and Tails is wearing the black one as they dive into the water. They swim up to Merna.'']
 * Sonic: Lead the way!

[''Merna grabs Sonic's left arm with her right hand, and swims away, with him in tow. Tails grabs Sonic's feet with both his hands, and Merna swims with both Sonic and him in tow. The screen transitions to the next scene, where a view of some rocks on the ocean floor is shown as a mechanical octopus breaks through them. The camera moves to the right side of the screen, where a view of some buildings, one of which says, BAUNRY is shown. The camera cuts to a close-up of the mechanical octopus and zooms in on it. The screen then transitions to a view inside the mechanical octopus, where Captain Memo is sitting in a chair. The camera zooms out on him, revealing his assistant, Luitenant Bananas, to be standing behind him.'']
 * Captain Memo: Luitenant! Take a memo!

[''Lt. Bananas reaches into his shirt with his right hand and pulls out a pad of paper and a pencil. He holds the pencil in his left hand.'']
 * Captain Memo: To Lt. Bananas, that's you. Dear Bananas, as soon as the sea floor has been stripped,

[''The camera cuts to a view of Captain Memo's underwater mini-mall, revealing buildings that say BIG BEN'S ICE CREAM, LING'S MINI-MALL, and SHOES. The camera zooms in on it.'']
 * Captain Memo: And my underwater mini-malls and condos are complete, eh, dat, I'll be ready to collect rent from all the fish and merhogs in the sea!

[Captain Memo laughs evilly as Lt. Bananas continues writing in the pad of paper.]
 * Captain Memo: Signed, Captain John Paul Memo.

[Captain Memo points his right thumb at himself.]
 * Captain Memo: That's me.

[''Lt. Bananas hoots as he pulls a piece of paper off the pad with his left hand. He tosses it aside and nods his head, "Yes", then grabs the steering wheel with both his hands. The mechanical octopus emits smoke from its rear. Sonic, Tails, and Merna swim up to the smoke, and Merna points her right index finger at it.'']
 * Merna: There it is, Sonic! Captain Memo's octopus ship!

[''The camera cuts to a close-up of the mechanical octopus, which emits smoke. the smoke clears, a view of the buildings below can be seen. Sonic points his right thumb at Merna, then his right index finger at his feet.'']
 * Sonic: Hey, what's eight arms when you've got the two fastest feet in the world?

[Sonic swims away, with Tails following behind him, and Merna waves her right arm at him.]
 * Merna: Be careful!

[''The camera cuts to a view of the mechanical octopus, and moves down to the anchor below it. Sonic grabs the anchor with both his hands, and swims away, carrying it. He swims clockwise around the mechanical octopus, tying the chain it is attached to around it. He tangles up the tentacles as a result, then drops the anchor, causing the mechanical octopus to sink.'']
 * Sonic: Looks like this octopus is just an octo-pussycat!

[Sonic swims back to Tails and Merna.]
 * Sonic: Your troubles are over, Babe!

[Sonic grabs merna's right hand with his left hand, and her left hand with his right hand.]
 * Sonic: Now, how bout' you and I go topside for a couple of dry chili dogs?

[''A view of the mechanical octopus is shown, then a view inside. Water leaks into the Mechanical Octopus, slowly flooding it, and Lt. Bananas tries to shut it off by turning a knob with his left hand. Captain Memo turns a knob with his right hand, then looks out the window, seeing Sonic, Tails, and Merna.'']
 * Captain Memo: There's someone out there, Luitenant! Take a memo!

[''Lt. Bananas hoots, then pulls out his pad of paper with his right hand and pencil with his left. Captain Memo holds up his left index finger.'']
 * Captain Memo: To Lt. Bananas,

[Three ducks honk as they swim past Lt. Bananas, who is writing in his pad of paper.]
 * Captain Memo: Check the defense computer and finds out who's up there! Cordially, John Paul Memo.

[''Lt. Bananas hoots as he pulls off the paper with his left hand. He then tosses it aside, and water fills up the mechanical octopus. He and Captain Memo swim over to the computer, and Lt. Bananas dives into the water to look through the computer's viewfinder. A view inside the viewfinder is shown as an image of Sonic appears onscreen. Underneath, a caption appears, saying, HEDGEHOG, SONIC CLASS.'']
 * Captain Memo Uh-oh! It's a self-propelled, high-speed underwater hedgehog of the Sonic class!

[Captain Memo is now standing atop Lt. Bananas as he looks through the viewfinder.]
 * Captain Memo: Wait a minute, there's only one hedgehog in the Sonic class, Sonic the Hedgehog! Luitenant, take another memo!

[Lt. Bananas emerges from the water, holding the pad of paper in his right hand, and the pencil in his left.]
 * Captain Memo: From Captain Memo to Lt. Bananas,

[Lt. Bananas writes in the pad of paper.]
 * Captain Memo: Attack that hedgehog!

[''Lt. Bananas hoots, and Captain Memo screams as he falls into the water. The mechanical octopus breaks the chain from its anchor, and frees its tentacles from the chain. Tails watches from a distance.'']
 * Tails: Uh-oh!

[Tails points his right index finger at the mechanical octopus.]
 * Tails: I think your octo-pussy cat is turning out to be a tiger shark!

[''Tails swims away just in time as the mechanical octopus swims towards him. Sonic now swims, holding Merna's left hand in his right hand, and Tails is holding Merna's right arm with his left hand.'']
 * Sonic: Let's make a wake, jake!

[''Sonic swims away, but the mechanical octopus continues chasing him, Tails, and Merna. It squirts ink at them.'']
 * Tails: Methinks we've been inked!

[The left eye of the mechanical octopus opens, revealing Captain Memo in it.]
 * Captain Memo: I've got that waterlogged hog right where I want him!

[The mechanical octopus reaches into the cloud of ink with three of its tentacles, and pulls out Sonic, Tails, and Merna.]
 * Sonic: The good news is, we're out of the ink!
 * Tails: What's the bad news?

[The mechanical octopus pulls Sonic, Tails, and Merna towards its mouth, which chomps.]
 * Sonic: We're goin' into its mouth!
 * Tails: we'll be ground into fertilizer!
 * Merna: Worse than that,

[The back door to the mechanical octopus opens, and it drops buildings on the floor below.]
 * Merna: We'll be turned into a mini-mall!

[The Mechanical Octopus pulls Sonic, Tails, and Merna towards its mouth.]
 * Sonic: We've got to get out of these tentacles!

[Merna turns to face Sonic.]
 * Merna: I think I know a way!

[''Merna turns to face some seaweed and screeches. Two eels emerge from the seaweed and swim up to her, Sonic, and Tails.'']
 * Tails: Eww! Eels!
 * Merna: Not just eels! Electric eels!

[''The electric eels clap together and sparks emit from them. Merna does a whale call, and the electric eels nod their heads, "yes" at her. They swim up to the left and right sides of the mechanical octopus and shock it. captain Memo and Lt. Bananas scream as they get shocked.'']
 * Captain Memo: Ow! Luitenant, take a memo! To luitentant Bananas!

[Captain Memo screams as he gets shocked again.]
 * Captain Memo: Faintly yours, John Paul Memo.

[''Lt. Bananas is holding the pad of paper in his right hand and the pencil in his left, and writes in the pad of paper. He screams as he gets shocked. The mechanical octopus powers down, releasing Sonic, Tails, and Merna from its tenactles.'']
 * Sonic: Now to finish it off with a triple-spin buzz, cuz!

[''Sonic spins onto the mechanical octopus, and Tails and Merna swim up to him. The steel of the mechanical octopus is too strong for Sonic to break through, and he lies down with dazed eyes.'']
 * Sonic: Just my luck! That ship's been hedgehog-proofed!
 * Merna: Perhaps my people can help! follow me!

[''Merna swims away, and Sonic and Tails swim after her, creating a trail of bubbles, which is used as a transition to the next scene, where they fly into the entract of Mertopia. Various fish swim through it.'']
 * Tails: Whoa! Cool cave!
 * Merna: Welcome to Mertopia!

[The camera moves up to the Queen of the Merhogs, who is in the balcony.]
 * Queen of the Merhogs: I am Queen of the Merhogs!

[Sonic, Tails, and Merna swim up to the Merhog Queen.]
 * Merhog Queen: You must be Sonic the Hedgehog!

[Sonic bows at the Merhog Queen with his left arm.]
 * Sonic: Little soggy, but at your service!
 * Merhog Queen: We must stop Captain Memo before he reaches Mertopia!

[Sonic and the Merhog Queen gasp as the screen rumbles.]
 * Sonic: I think he just did!

[''Fish swim through Mertopia, and rocks fall. The mechanical octopus is outside the entrance to Mertopia, swatting its tentacles at it. Merna swims across Mertopia, dodging the falling rocks.'']
 * Merhog Queen: You won't believe it, Sonic! You must stop Memo before our beautiful world is ruined!
 * Sonic: tThere's more than one way to skin an octopus, and I know just the way!

[''Sonic swims away, with Tails following behind him. Sonic stops outside the entrance.'']
 * Sonic: Hang together, Merhogs, I shall return!

[Sonic swims away, with Tails following behind him.]
 * Tails: Sonic, wait for me!

[''Merna and the Merhog Queen watch from the balcony, and the Merhog Queen hugs Merna. The screen transitions to a view outside Robotnik's fortress, which the camera zooms in on. The screen transitions to a view inside the kitchen, then the camera moves to the right side of the screen, where Scratch and Grounder are standing near the sink. Scratch is wearing oven mitts and an apron that says, KISS THE COOK, and Grounder is wearing a chef's hat, and holding a bin of sponges in both his drills.'']
 * Grounder: I hate cleaning out the fridge! You do it!

[Grounder hands Scratch the bin of sponges, but Scratch hands it back to him.]
 * Scratch: Not me! His slobbishness told you to do it!
 * Grounder: D'oh, all right! How bad could it be, anyway?

[''Grounder rolls away, and Scratch turns to face the sink, where he washes dishes with both his hands. Grounder rolls up to the fridge, sets down the bin of sponges, and opens the fridge with his left drill. A left arm emerges from the fridge and roars. Grounder screams and stares in shock at it, then psuhes the door closed with his body. Scratch turns to face him.'']
 * Scratch: What is it?
 * Grounder: Uh, I think it was the lasagna we made for Dr. Robotnik three years ago!

[Scratch walks up to Grounder and pushes him aside with his right hand.]
 * Scratch: Don't be ridiculous! Let me see that!

[Grounder screams and covers his eyes with both his drills.]
 * Grounder: Don't open it!

[''Scratch opens the fridge with his left hand and looks inside, but doesn't find anything. He turns to face Grounder, and closes the fridge with his right hand.'']
 * Scratch: There's nothing in here!

[''Scratch walks away. Grounder looks at the fridge, then rolls up to it and opens it with his left drill. The left arm roars as it reaches out of the fridge, and Grounder screams and stares in shock at it. The left arm grabs him and pulls him in.'']
 * Grounder: No! Help!

[''The fridge opens, and Grounder, who is now covered in lasagna stains, falls out of it. Scratch walks up to him.'']
 * Scratch: Are you all right?
 * Grounder (wearily): Next time, we gotta remember not to put those TV dinners in the microwave!

[Grounder sighs.]
 * Grounder (wearily): They get really upset!

[''The kitchen door opens, and Sonic and Tails poke their heads out of the doorway. Scratch pulls the lasagna stains off Grounder with his right hand. Sonic then turns to face Tails.'']
 * Sonic (whispering): You got everything?
 * Tails (whispering): I think so!

[''Sonic and Tails duck back behind the door, which Sonic pushes open with his right hand. Sonic and Tails are now disguised as pizza delivery men, with Sonic wearing a green hat and overalls, and Tails wearing blue sunglasses and overalls. They walk in, with sonic holding a pizza box in his left hand.'']
 * Sonic: You guys order a pizza?
 * Scratch: No.
 * Grounder: Not me! Um, maybe it was the lasagna who ordered it!
 * Sonic: Too bad!

[Sonic opens the pizza box with his right hand, revealing a pizza inside.]
 * Sonic: Anchovies and jellyfish, my favorite!
 * Tails: Yeah, they're gonna be hard to come by once Captain Memo takes over the ocean!
 * Grounder: Huh?
 * Scratch: Captain Memo's taking over the ocean?
 * Sonic: Didn't you hear? Everyone's talkin' about it! Sure you didn't order this pizza?
 * Grounder: Forget the pizza, we gotta tell Dr. Robotnik's what's happening!

[''Scratch and Grounder run away. Sonic then holds his right thumb up at Tails.'']
 * Sonic: Way to go, bro!
 * Tails: Let's go!

[''Tails runs away, and sonic follows behind him, leaving the pizza box behind. The door opens, and the lasagna monster's left arm reaches out, grabs the pizza box, and pulls it in. The lasagna monster eats the pizza, then belches. In the next scene, Dr. Robotnik is inside his laboratory, holding a golf club in both his hands, and he attempts to hit a golf ball into a cup.'']
 * Dr. Robotnik: If Dr. Robotnik can sink this final putt, he'll win the Mobius Torunament of Champions and the grand prize of the dictatorship of the universe!

[Robotnik pulls his golf club back, and Scratch and Grounder walk up to him.]
 * Scratch and Grounder: Dr. Robotnik!

[''Robotnik hits the golf club, causing it to fly into a framed picture of Momma Robotnik and knock it over, then fly into a lampshade and bounce off it. The golf ball then bounces off Scratch and Grounder's heads. Scratch rubs his head with his right hand, and Grounder rubs his with both his drills. The camera moves over to Robotnik, who stares angrily at them, then spits the golf ball that landed in his mouth out, and it rolls into the cup.'']
 * Grounder: Oooh, nice putt!

[Robotnik walks up to Scratch and Grounder, holding the golf club in his left hand.]
 * Robotnik: Thanks! And now, I've got a nice putter for you two!

[Robotnik beats up Scratch and Grounder and ties them up in the golf club.]
 * Robotnik: What's so important you have to ruin my golf game?
 * Scratch: Didn't you hear the news?
 * Robotnik: What news?
 * Grounder: Captain Memo plans to conquer the Mobian Sea!
 * Scratch: And once he's done that, he plans to launch an attack on the land!
 * Robotnik: I don't believe it!

[A thought balloon appears to Robotnik's left side, and in it, a young Robotnik and Captain Memo are dressed in graduation outfits and holding diplomas in their left hands.]
 * Robotnik: Memo and I went to school together!

[The thought balloon pops, and Scratch and grounder scream as Robotnik points his left thumb at himself.]
 * Robotnik: He wasn't half as rotten as me!

[Robotnik, Scratch and Grounder walk up to the computer.]
 * Robotnik: My undersea survellience system will show me what Memo's up to!

[Robotnik presses a button on the computer with his left index finger, and the screen turns on, revealing Captain Memo's mechanical octopus to be attacking the entrance to Mertopia.]
 * Robotnik: Oh, it's true! That sniveling little fish-face is attacking the Merhogs!

[On the screen, Captain Memo and Lt. Bananas are at the control panel, and Lt. Bananas is holding the steering wheel in his right hand.]
 * Robotnik: Well, he won't get away with this!

[As Scratch jumps, trying to pull the golf club off him and Grounder with his right hand, Robotnik turns to face them and points his right thumb at himself.]
 * Robotnik: Scratch, Grounder, build me the fiercest, fastest, fattest submarine in the world!

[Scratch turns to face Robotnik, and salutes him with his right hand.]
 * Scratch and Grounder: Yes, herr capitan!

[Scratch and Grounder walk away, and Robotnik reaches off the right side of the screen with both his hands, pulling out his golf club in his right hand, and his golf club in his left hand.]
 * Robotnik: I'll blow Captain Memo and his octopus ship right out of the sea!

[Robotnik swings at his golf ball, but misses.]
 * Robotnik: Fore!

[''Robotnik swings the golf ball at the screen, causing Captain Memo's mechanical octopus to get hit, and sparks emit from it. Robotnik laughs evilly, and a view of the computer screen is shown as the mechanical octopus falls. The screen fades to black. In the next scene, Grounder is wearing goggles and holding a jackhammer in his left hand, which he uses to build a submarine with. Scratch walks up to him.'']
 * Scratch: How's it coming?

[Grounder turns to face Scratch.]
 * Grounder: All done!

[''Grounder points his right index finger at the submarine. Scratch screams and stares in shock.'']
 * Grounder: Isn't she a beautiful sub?

[The submarine is revealed to resemble Grounder.]
 * Scratch: No! The only thing sub around here is your intelligence, bot-head! Dr. Robotnik is gonna hate this!
 * Grounder: Oh, you think so?
 * Scratch: Don't worry, I'll fix it!

[''Scratch walks up to a tool box. he picks up a pair of goggles with his right hand, and a jackhammer with his left. He puts the goggles on, and walks up to the submarine. Grounder watches as sparks emit from the jackhammer. Scratch then walks up to Grounder.'']
 * Scratch: There! He'll love it now! Bwahahaha!

[The submarine now resembles Scratch's head.]
 * Grounder: I hope you're right!

[Robotnik walks up to Scratch and Grounder.]
 * Robotnik: Whose idea was this?

[Scratch points his right index finger at Grounder, and Grounder points his right drill at Scratch.]
 * Robotnik: I thought so!

[''Robotnik takes the goggles and jackhammer from Scratch with his right hand. He puts the jackhammer in his left arm and the goggles on.'']
 * Robotnik: You two have as much taste as last week's hamburger!

[''Robotnik walks up to the submarine. Scratch and Grounder watch as sparks emit from the jackhammer. Robotnik then walks up to Scratch and Grounder and removes the goggles with his left hand.'']
 * Robotnik: There, now that's a beautiful ship!

[''Scratch and Grounder gasp. The submarine now resembles Robotnik. A view outside the ocean is now shown as the camera zooms in on it. The camera then moves down to the ocean floor, where Robotnik's submarine travels through it. Scratch, who is now wearing a pirate's hat, is watching the screen, until it comes to Captain Memo's mechanical octopus.'']
 * Scratch: Whoa-ho! Captain Memo dead ahead, Sir!

[''A red light flashes over a door that says, HEAD. The toilet flushes, and Robotnik, who is now dressed like an admiral, opens the door with both his hands.'']
 * Robotnik: Excellent! I'll blast that scurvy scum right out out of the sea!

[As Robotnik holds up his right index finger, a roll of toilet paper unrolls out the door.]
 * Robotnik: Load Torpedo Tube One!

[''Scratch salutes Robotnik with his left hand, then turns to face the hatch of Torpedo Tube One and opens it with both his hands. Grounder, who is now wearing a sailor hat, puts a torpedo he is holding in both his hands, into Torpedo Tube One. Scratch closes the door with his right hand, and he and Grounder salute Robotnik with their respective left hand and left drill.'']
 * Grounder: Loaded and ready, Captain!
 * Robotnik: Down scope!

[''Robotnik points his right index finger at the floor. As he does this, Sonic and Tails, who are just atop the submarine, cup their left hands to their left ears to overhear. Sonic then grabs the periscope with both his hands.'']
 * Sonic: Watch this!

[Sonic pulls the periscope down, and Robotnik groans in pain as it hits him on the head.]
 * Robotnik: Not that low, you mega-dolt!

[''Sonic raises the periscope just high enough for Robotnik to get out from under. Robotnik stands up, then straightens his face with both his hands, then shakes his head.'']
 * Robotnik: That's better!

[''Robotnik looks into the periscope. A view of the crosshair is now shown as it moves to the right side of the screen, until it targets Captain Memo's mechanical octopus.'']
 * Robotnik: Ah, he's a sitting duck! Up scope!
 * Grounder: Up scope!

[Robotnik screams as his thumbs get caught in the handles, and the periscope rises, pulling him up.]
 * Robotnik: Down! Put it down!

[''As the periscope lowers, Robotnik slams against the floor and groans. The periscope raises again, pulling Robotnik's head until it becomes unstuck. Robotnik groans as he hits the ground again. Scratch and Grounder walk up to Robotnik, who then grins angrily at them, with sparks emitting from his head. Scratch chuckles nervously.'']
 * Scratch: Boy, that's what I call a look that could kill!

[''Scratch chuckles nervously as beads of sweat emit from his and Grounder's heads. The camera cuts to a view of Robotnik and zooms in on him.'']
 * Robotnik: It's not the look that will kill you; it's this!

[''Scratch and Grounder stare nervously as Robotnik grabs the former with his right hand and the latter with his left. Scratch and Grounder groan in pain as he beats them up, with much of the fight being blocked off by flowers, exclamation points, stars, moons, planets, and eventually, Scratch and Grounder's mouths. Grounder gets tossed into Torpedo Tube one, and he groans as he hits it, then Scratch squawks in pain as Robotnik, who is holding him by his feet with both his hands, puts him in Torpedo Tube One. He then kicks him in with his left foot and closes the door with his left hand. He then walks up to the control panel.'']
 * Robotnik: Torpedo Brains One and Two, away!

[''Robotnik presses the green button with his left hand. The submarine's cannon, which resembles Robotnik's nose, fires the torpedo that Scratch and Grounder are riding on. Scratch and Grounder scream as they ride the torpedo, which flies into Captain Memo's mechanical octopus and explodes. Scratch and Grounder fly away as water leaks into Captain Memo's mechanical octopus, flooding it. Captain Memo pokes his head out of the water.'']
 * Captain Memo: Luitentant, take a memo!

[''Lt. Banana's left and right hands, the former of which is holding a pencil, and the latter of which is holding a pencil, pop out of the water. Lt. Bananas begins writing in the pad of paper.'']
 * Captain Memo: To Lt. Bananas, We're under attack! Battle stations! Very truly yours, Captain John Paul Memo.

[''Lt. Bananas pulls the piece of paper off the pad with his left hand, then uses both his hands to turn the pad of paper into a paper sailboat, which floats away. Lt. Bananas then waves goodbye to it with his left hand, and hoots. His left hand then dives into the water, swims up to a valve. Captain Memo sees Robotnik's submarine from his window.'']
 * Captain Memo: Ha har! It's Dr. Robotnik!

[Captain Memo turns to face the camera as Lt. Bananas grabs the valve with both his hands.]
 * Captain Memo: So, that bulbous badnik thinks he can move in on my condos and mini-malls, does he? Take a memo! Commence Counter-attack!

[''Lt. Bananas then turns the valve clockwise with his left hand and pulls three levers down with his right. Captain Memo's mechanical octopus' tentacles form a fist, and it charges right into Robotnik's submarine. Captain Memo's mechanical octopus then squeezes Robotnik's submarine's nose, and inside Robotnik's submarine, Robotnik hits the floor.'']
 * Robotnik: Oof! So, that shrimp of a sea squirt thinks he can conquer Mobius before me, does he?

[''Robotnik presses red and yellow buttons, one after the other, rapidly, with his left index finger. As Captain Memo's mechanical octopus pulls of Robotnik's Submarine's nose, it turns into a stick of dynamite, and Robotnik's submarine leaves just in time. Captain Memo's mechanical submarine stares in shock at the dynamite, which explodes, scorching it. It then ducks as various missiles are fired towards it. One of the tentacles then pokes out from behind the rock and fires missiles back at Robotnik's submarine, which now has a new nose. It looks at the missiles, then ducks to avoid them. It then looks up, and the last missile turns into a chicken, which crows and lays an egg, which explodes. Robotnik's submarine is now scorched, and it stares angrily as it shakes its head. It then fires missiles out of its nose as Captain Memo's mechanical octopus' missiles hit it. Inside Robotnik's submarine, Sonic and Tails duck as the chaos ensues. They duck as water leaks in, flooding it.'']
 * Tails: Nice going, Sonic! Now they're really trashing each other!

[Three missiles get stuck in the wall, and Sonic grabs Tails' left wrist with his right hand.]
 * Sonic: Let's jump in the juice and juice!

[''Sonic jumps away, with Tails in tow. As more water leaks into Robotnik's submarine, Sonic opens a door that says, EXIT with his right hand. Strangely, this doesn't cause the water from the other side to leak in, but a fish swims up to it and lands on the ground below. It signals Sonic and tails with its left fin, then swims back out the other side. Sonic and Tails follow it, and the door closes just as a missile from Captain Memo's mechanical octopus hits it and explodes. As the missiles continue firing, Sonic and Tails swim up to Merna and the Merhog Queen.'']
 * Sonic: Captain Memo won't be botherin' the merhogs anymore!

[Merna swims into Sonic's arms.]
 * Merna: Thanks, Sonic! Mertopia is safe!

[Tails swims up to Sonic and Merna.]
 * Tails: Yeah, we really fooled old Robotnik!

[Scratch and Grounder poke their heads out from behind some seaweed.]
 * Scratch (in a waterlogged voice): Why, that rotten little rodent! This was all a trick!
 * Grounder (in a waterlogged voice): I knew that pizza delivery guy smelled like a hedgehog!
 * Scratch (in a waterlogged voice): D'oh, those are anchovies!
 * Grounder (in a waterlogged voice): Were they? Hmmm. We gotta tell Dr. Robotnik!

[''Scratch and Grounder swim up to Robotnik's submarine, which continues firing missiles at Captain Memo's mechanical octopus. The back door opens, and Scratch and Grounder swim through it as Robotnik pounds both his fists against the control panel.'']
 * Robotnik: A couple more torpedo hits, and I'll have him!

[''Robotnik screams as the valve behind him opens, causing water to leak into the control room and flood it. Robotnik, Scratch, and Grounder all poke their heads out of it.'']
 * Scratch: Dr. Robot...

[Scratch coughs up a fish, which lands on Robotnik's head.]
 * Scratch: Dr. Robotnik, we've got urgent news!
 * Grounder: The pizza was a phony!
 * Robotnik: Urgent news?

[Robotnik resurfaces from the water, grabs the fish with his left hand, and holds it up to Scratch and Grounder.]
 * Robotnik: You interrupt the most significant naval battle in Mobian history to tell me about your lunch?!

[''Robotnik hits Scratch and Grounder's heads with the fish. Scratch flinches as he resurfaces.'']
 * Scratch: No, it was Sonic! He was the one who told us that Captain Memo wanted to conquer Mobius!
 * Grounder: He really just wanted you to stop Memo from attacking the Merhogs!
 * Robotnik: Is that right?

[Robotnik tosses the fish aside.]
 * Robotnik: Well, his plans are about to backfire!

[''Robotnik grabs a monitor with both his hands, pulls it down, and chuckles wickedly. He then turns to face Scratch and Grounder and sets the monitor down on their heads. The screen turns on, revealing Captain Memo in it.'']
 * Robotnik: Captain Memo, this is Dr. Robotnik.

[Robotnik somehow manages to put his left arm around Captain Memo.]
 * Robotnik: It seems there's been a little misunderstanding, and I know just how to resolve the matter!

[The Merhog Queen chuckles.]
 * Tails: Uh, what do you say we just slap five?

Sonic Says
[At Robotnik's submarine, Sonic is tied up in a rope as Grounder is standing next to him.]

[''Grounder turns both his drills into hands. He uses his left hand to open his chest compartment and his right one to pull out a book of patches.'']
 * Grounder: I'm bored!

[Grounder pulls out a match from the matchbook with his left hand and lights it.]
 * Sonic: Hey, dumb-bot, didn't anyone ever tell you not to play with matches?
 * Grounder: I'm careful!

[''Grounder drops the match, and it lands on the floor, causing the fire to spread. Scratch runs in.'']

[''Sonic frees both his arms from the rope and pulls it down with them. He then opens the door with both his hands.'']
 * Sonic: How's this?

[''Water leaks into Robotnik's sub, flooding it, but putting the fire out. Sonic runs out of the doorway and pokes his head out of the water.'']
 * Sonic (to the viewers): Never play with matches, even if you think it's safe!

[Scratch and Grounder now poke their heads out of the water and groan.]
 * Sonic (to the viewers): Remember, if you play with fire, you're gonna get burned!
