Multiverse Unity: Sonic and the Tomb Raider/Real Wild Friends

Real Wild Friends is the first episode of Sonic and the Tomb Raider. The episode follows Sonic the Hedgehog, who relocates himself from San Francisco to London, and Lara Croft, who attends to a high school field trip to the Golden Realm, where she meets and befriends Sonic, as they work together to foil a diabolical conspiracy orchestrated by Larson Stone.

Plot
Shortly after defeating Dr. Robotnik and banishing him to the Mushroom Planet, Sonic the Hedgehog decides to move from San Francisco, USA, to London, England. There, he has his eyes open on Lara Croft, the young hereditary of the Croft family who aspires to be an archaeologist and treasure hunter like her late father Richard Croft before her.

Discovering that she is in possession of a box with Mobian Rings she found during her search for another relic, Sonic discreetly follows Lara and her high school classmates (including her two friends Lin Chang and Sophie Fletcher), who are being guided by Larson Stone in their field trip at the Golden Realm, an uncharted island which is rich with outstanding gold. Of course, the field trip soon proves to be as dangerous as both Sonic and Lara predicted it would be, as the crew faces predatory creatures, such as a clan of man-eating cyclopes, and the fearsome T-Rex King.

Although she gets separated from her classmates and teachers during her attempt to lure the cyclopes away, getting lost in the jungle as a result, Lara eventually meets up with Sonic after he saves her from the cyclopes, and the two work together to overcome the perils of the Golden Realm, while also seeking to foil and expose a conspiracy against Lara's teachers orchestrated by Stone through Amanda Everett, as ordered by Jacqueline Natla.

Their journey leads the duo to the Golden Realm's local tribal village, where they briefly meet Gabriel, a young hunter who was raised by the villagers after his parents were killed by the T-Rex King, and Sonic's girlfriend Sally Acorn, who provides them with Mobian nanotech for their advantage. Using their new equipment, Sonic and Lara manage to defeat the T-Rex King and banish him into the Center of the Earth, and expose Stone's conspiracy, resulting in him being arrested, but also leading Amanda (whom the students accuse of having collaborated with Stone) to her expulsion.

Sonic and Lara are honored by the Golden Realm's village chief for their efforts, during which Lara become smitten with Gabriel. Later after returning home, Lara allows Sonic to secretly spend his days in her home, while the two are eager to enjoy some real adventures together once their summer vacations start next week. Feeling humiliated, Amanda continues to intern at Natla Corporation while vowing revenge on Lara, but is still unaware of her boss Natla's true motives.

Meanwhile, Robotnik is shown having established a new headquarters with Orbot and Cubot in the Mushroom Planet, also looking for revenge on Sonic.

Transcript

 * (episode opens in Africa, where Sonic the Hedgehog and Lara Croft (who is mounted on a high tech motorbike which matches Sonic's speed) are heard laughing and chuckling while joyriding happily in the hills. Scene freezes in the moment Sonic and Lara leap over a river)
 * Sonic the Hedgehog: (narrating) So, I know what you’re thinking. 'Why is that incredibly handsome hedgehog joyriding with a incredibly cute teenage girl in a super fast motorbike?' (the scene unfreezes and Sonic continues joyriding with Lara) Dare I say it's the chapter of a beautiful friendship that started in the day we first met, and worked together against a mutual nemesis seeking to overthrow every rich man on Earth. Including our own two personal nemeses. "How did it all start?", you may ask... you might say... it's a long story.
 * (scene shifts to San Francisco)
 * Tagline: SAN FRANCISCO. ONE WEEK EARLIER...
 * (we now see Sonic battling Dr. Robotnik)
 * Sonic the Hedgehog: (narrating) Sometimes, I like to joke that this is just another day in my life. Besides running around the world to see its greatest wonders... I'm also having to deal with evil humans like this psychotic Eggman who's been so obsessed with power. And on this case, my ability to run faster than the Speed of Sound. More recently, people were asking to have him disappear from this planet and never come back. (as he is heard narrating, Sonic picks a ring) So on that day, I was going to do these people a favor. (uses the ring to open a portal for the Mushroom Planet)
 * Dr. Robotnik: Another one of your teleportation rings, Hedgehog? Are you just gonna disappear from my sight, again?
 * Sonic the Hedgehog: (Sonic strikes Robotnik's hovercraft) FYI, Eggman, I told you I was gonna use my speed to protect people, including friends. And another thing... (speeds around Robotnik's hovercraft, creating a electromagnetic tornado which short-circuits the hovercraft) I'm not the one leaving Earth. (powers-up his quills) You are!
 * Dr. Robotnik: Wait, what...? (stares confused at the portal, which is behind him)
 * Cubot: (seeing the portal) Do you think he's actually planning to...?
 * Orbot: (sees Sonic) Oh, he is. (Sonic boosts towards the Egg Pod) And he's doing it! (Folds into his compressed orb form. Cubot panics and does the same, and both start shaking in panic)
 * Dr. Robotnik: (notices Sonic and (realizing what he is doing) tries to react) Oh, no! Don't you dare! (tries to fire multiple shots from the Egg Pod. Robotnik gasps when Sonic curls into a Spin Attack, landing a powerful blow to the Egg Pod, disintegrating its cockpit and sending it towards the portal with Robotnik, Orbot and Cubot still on board) NOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!
 * (as his scream echoes, Robotnik and his hovercraft are pushed into the portal before it closes, and the crowd cheers on Sonic)
 * Sonic the Hedgehog: (narrating) And a favor, I've just done for these people. (Sonic salutes the crowd before leaving. Next, we see him in a hill) Dare I admit it. It had been quite fun in San Francisco. But now, it was time for me to leave to somewhere else. Somewhere like... (sees a picture of London, England in his phone; speaking in the scene) I was thinking of maybe Hawaii. But, this one seems more appropriate for summer vacations. Which begin for the high schools next week. (shrugs) So, let's try London. What could possibly go wrong? (speeds up into his cave, and gathers all his belongings; again narrating) And without any notice: it was my decision to move to London... that would lead me to my new friend.
 * (at the moment Sonic starts running, scene cuts to Lara, who is wearing her jungle suit, and running in a jungle of England.)
 * Lara Croft: (narrating) The jungle. A place of beauty and freedom. A place where the fragile rich men and women don't tend to put their fancy feet on. But still... it's the ideal playground for an true adventurer. And also the work place of an archeologist. Pretty much what my father was before he died. And what I've been aspiring to be in his memory and legacy. (after some running, she leaps into several trees and stops by an unknown area) My name... is Lara Croft. And I've been looking for certain artifacts... well, for some time now. (we see her entering a cave) And on places that were left behind, and forgotten for so long ago. (as she is heard narrating, Lara further explores the cave, eventually discovering the tombs of knights from Medieval times) And places that almost no one else knew they existed.
 * (after some more exploring, Lara discovers a small wooden chest, which has something shining inside. She opens it and sees dozens of golden rings in it)
 * Lara Croft: (picks up one of the rings) Oh, that's pretty lovely. (she closes the chest and puts it in her backpack. Then, she sees drawings in the walls, detailing a ring wielder throwing one of the rings, and opening portals with them. Lara stares at the ring she picked up) Would it be that simple? (she tosses the ring towards a wall, and the ring quickly elongates to bigger portions and becomes a portal to an office in the top of a building, and Lara becomes astonished) My goodness! (she enters the portal, stopping by the office, and sees New York City through the window. Inspecting a desk, she discovers that the building she is in is Natla Corporation's central headquarters) Jacqueline Natla... (as she sets up numerous invisible cameras around the office, Lara is heard narrating) ...CEO of Natla Corporation. Said to be one of New York City's richest women. But I also know there's something else she hides. Undoubtedly an evil like no other. If not worse than that other madman Dr. Robotnik from San Francisco as I heard of. For long, I've been seeking to find out her true nature, and the monster she truly is, and expose it to the world. Today, I might begin to have that chance.
 * (just as she sets up the last camera, Lara hears someone coming, and rushes into the Ring Portal right before it closes. Entering the office is Natla, who is at the time speaking with her associate Larson Stone)
 * Jacqueline Natla: This better be important.
 * Larson Stone: (radio voice) Still seeking the secrets of the Golden Realm, I presume?
 * Jacqueline Natla: Any updates about it?
 * Larson Stone: (radio voice) I've managed to convince the board of education of Wimbledon High School to let me be their students' guide for their field trip tomorrow. This could be a fine opportunity to explore the island's secrets, couldn't it? Especially with your intern Amanda Everett, who could serve us well in our mission.
 * (scene cuts to Lara, who is watching and listening to everything through her cameras)
 * Jacqueline Natla: Yes. And maybe even take advantage of her petty little hatred for the Crofts' child would be optional.
 * Larson Stone: And "petty", you say. You don't seem to care for her well-being so much, don't you?
 * Jacqueline Natla: Why should I be any concerned? She's nothing more than a pawn in a game she has no idea is being played.
 * (as Natla ends her conversation with Stone, Lara keeps the evidence recorded in her phone)
 * Lara Croft: She might not know, Natla. But I do. And there's no way you'll make a fool of me like you once did my father. (she moves on)
 * (scene cuts to Sonic sitting in a ship sailing from San Francisco to London, he is getting a phone call from his girlfriend)
 * Sonic the Hedgehog: Yeah, San Francisco's been a nice place to live in. But as you and I both knew, Sal... it was time to move on...
 * Sally Acorn: (phone voice) Like other five places you've been living in since we've left Mobius. Starting with Tokyo, if I remember well... Still, it's a really fine decision you're making, Sonic. Because as always, you're still travelling around the world. And knowing it better than most of us.
 * Sonic the Hedgehog: Yeah. I surely am. (scene cuts to Sally, who is in a tribal village; phone voice) So how are things going in the Golden Realm?
 * Sally Acorn: Pretty good, thank you so kindly for asking... as we speak, our boy Gabriel is still contributing for his adoptive tribe. And he's become a really natural hunter. And also... we're still hiding from the T-Rex King. He hasn't stopped watching humans ever since that crew from Natla Corporation showed up.
 * Sonic the Hedgehog: (phone voice) Definitely not good. (scene shifts back to Sonic, who is reading a newspaper) And I fear it'll make get a bit worse tomorrow. News says that a group of high school girls from London are gonna have a field trip in the Golden Realm. Worse than that... the guy who's signed up to be their guide: Larson Stone.
 * Sally Acorn: (phone voice) The same guy who worked with Robotnik before?
 * Sonic the Hedgehog: Yeah, that one.
 * (scene shifts to Lara in the cave, where she encounters a golden crown)
 * Lara Croft: Magnificent! It's going to make a fine addition to my collection. (hears a group of thieves coming) If those street rats won't steal it from me, that is. (pauses for a moment. Then, she picks a ring from the wooden chest) I pray for this ring to bring me back home soon enough. (throws the ring, which opens a portal to the street where the Croft Manor is located. She takes a deep breath) Mother once said: it's life or death. (she leaps into the portal, which closes immediately before the thieves arrive. We see Lara arriving in the entrance of her home, and she checks the ring chest with a smile) That was splendid and brilliant! (she approaches the gates, which automatically open)
 * WINSTON: (through the Croft Manor's security systems) Family access granted. Welcome home, Lady Croft. And congratulations for your latest discovery.
 * Lara Croft: Thank you, WINSTON. What do we have for dinner?
 * WINSTON: The daily meal. As scheduled.
 * (meanwhile, Sally checks her computer, which detects Ring Portal radiation. Then, we see Sonic rushing around London)
 * Sonic the Hedgehog: (his phone rings and he answers) Yeah, Sally?
 * Sally Acorn: (phone voice) Do you have time for a little checkup? My satellites just detected Ring Portal radiation. And it did not come from your rings.
 * (cut to the Croft Manor, where Lara's friends Lin Chang and Sophie Fletcher are inspecting the collected crown and the ring chest)
 * Lin Chang: So, you just thought of the place, and those rings took you there?
 * Lara Croft: Yes, I know it seemed too simple... (as she speaks, Sonic arrives and detects the rings in Lara's possession. He spies on the three girls from a window) but apparently that's how they worked.
 * Sophie Fletcher: And more apparently, they seem to work better as long as the wielder has at least seen the place. Yes?
 * Lara Croft: That's what I thought as well, Sophie. Although I'm still not sure if I mastered them so much.
 * Lin Chang: (smiling at Lara) Still... look on the bright side, Lara. Whatever those rings are, or whatever they can do, you now have a better benefit to become that archeologist you dreamed to be. Just like your father.
 * (while they continue talking, the girls are oblivious to Sonic's presence, as he is seen speeding up away from the window)
 * Lara Croft: You're pretty right, Lin. That would truly be possible. (stares at a portray of herself as a child with her parents and makes a sad face) And to be honest... I only wish they were here. To see all this... (referring to her collection of treasures) and other things I've...
 * (she is almost crying until Lin and Sophie comfort her. Outside, Sonic phones Sally)
 * Sally Acorn: (phone voice) Did you find the source yet, Sonic?
 * Sonic the Hedgehog: Yep. And you are not gonna believe who's got the rings: the Crofts' girl.
 * Sally Acorn: (phone voice) You mean Lara Croft? Really? Wow. When people said she was aspiring to be an archeologist and adventurer like her father was, they actually meant that.
 * Sonic the Hedgehog: Yep. No doubt about it. (he then speeds into the Manor, and stays on the outside watching Lara and her friends through the windows) Now, all that's left to wonder is: what will she do next?
 * (we see Lara with her friends, who are having hot chocolate)
 * Lin Chang: (sees the picture of the Golden Realm in her phone) So are you willing to join the field trip? It would make a fine opportunity for some more archaeology. Don't you think?
 * Lara Croft: Yes. It most certainly would. Given the fact the island is rich with amazing treasures... and gold. The name itself even says it. (Sonic then rushes, causing a whooshing which alerts the girls) Did you hear that?
 * (they inspect the Manor from outside, but nothing or no one is there; then, Lara inspects one of Sonic's quills, which is in a tree; Sonic is seen watching Lara from the top of a tree)
 * Sonic the Hedgehog: (to himself) Field trip at the Golden Realm. It's gonna be bad news if Stone's involved.
 * (next day, Lara, Lin and Sophie are with their classmates (all wearing safari jungle outfits) taking the boat to their field trip)
 * Valerie: (criticizing her own outfit) Ugh! Must I really wear this?! I'm looking too much like a boy in this trash of outfit! I mean, look at these shorts! I'm almost even...!
 * Lara Croft: (interrupting) Hush, Valerie. You'll be home to wear your lovely dresses as soon as this field trip is over.
 * (Valerie is annoyed, but sighs. As the students sail on the boat, Amanda is contacted by Natla)
 * Amanda Everett: I hear you, boss. Just the way you planned. (ends her transmission and spots Lara with her friends) (to herself) And for sure, if everything goes according to the plan, that Croft princess will never show her face around this world ever again.
 * (the students board in while Sonic stows away in the boat. He also spies on Stone, who is at the time secretly speaking with Robotnik, who is shown in holographic form)
 * Dr. Robotnik: If what you say about the Golden Realm is true, then I'll be rescheduling my priorities with that blue little alien, and move on with the Realm's beasts.
 * Larson Stone: Such a fine idea, Doctor. And to ease your choices for the best subject, I would recommend to you the island's most feared predator: the T-Rex King. Hard, but not impossible to defeat. And once tamed, he'll become the one kind of weapon of which not even that silly little alien will be able to stop.
 * Dr. Robotnik: Hmm, it seems promising. I'll consider that. Report back to me if you have any updates.
 * (ends transmission as Stone smiles diabolically, and Sonic, having recorded everything with his phone, posts the video for Sally)
 * Sonic the Hedgehog: Two things to worry about in this trip: this guy's nasty schemes... (speeds up into the top, and spots Lara, who is still in possession of Sonic's energized quill) and the safety of the girls. Especially this one... (scene centers on Lara, as she inspects the quill)
 * Lara Croft: (voice over) Of all wonders I've seen and heard of... this one intrigues me pretty much more than any treasure I've collected so far. And maybe as much as these rings do. (flashback shows Sonic running around the world) And I have a feeling that this quill and those rings might be connected to the one warrior the whole world speaks of. He who's been known for many names, in many cities and countries where he was seen. "Hermes"... "Lightning Phantom"... "Blue Samurai"... and most notably: the "Nomad". But for those who are and were close to him, the people of his own world, and also his biggest fans... he goes by his real name: Sonic. (flashback ends; voice over) And even though this champion and I have never met each other before so personally... (smiles) I know for certain that we would make fine adventure companions. (Sonic smiles while seeing her, but soon hides when Lara (who sees Sonic's reflection on a ring) looks at where he was. Initially confused, she smiles; voice over) And I might as well assume... that he's not as far away from here as everyone thinks he is.
 * (next scene, the ship has landed on the Golden Realm, as the students begin exploring its forest)
 * Valerie: Why is this island even called "Golden Realm" anyway? Where's the gold? All I see is just another stinky forest!
 * Amanda Everett: You want to keep screaming until there comes a giant spider to get you? Be my guest.
 * Valerie: Oh, shut up, Everett!
 * (as they continue arguing, Lara talks to an insecure Sophie)
 * Sophie Fletcher: I just hope there's no such thing as giant spiders in this island, Lara. I'm not much fond of these...
 * Lara Croft: Don't listen to these two little fools, Sophie. Everything will be fine.
 * Sonic the Hedgehog: (watching as the girls move on to the trip) No, there are no spiders at all in this island. No giant mutant spiders, anyway. But I believe there's worse. Much worse...
 * Headmaster: Alright, girls. Keep up. (sees something and is stunned; quietly) Wait, don't move! (the girls immediately stop. We see hordes of cyclopes standing over countless bones, including human bones) Mr. Stone? Are those...?
 * Larson Stone: Man-eating cyclopes. Some of the Golden Realm's top predators. (Lara sees a button in the palm of Stone's hand, and a small sound box in Amanda's badge) If not compared to the T-Rex King.
 * Headmaster: The T-Rex King?! You mean...? (suddenly, loud noises erupt, and are coming from Amanda's badge) Mrs. Everett!
 * Amanda Everett: I-I'm not doing this! I...
 * (Lara rips the badge off Amanda's jacket and crushes the sound box. But to everyone's shock, the cyclopes are already noticing them)
 * Headmaster: (worriedly) Very well, girls... n-nobody panic. J-just...
 * Valerie: (panicking) How can I not panic?! L-look at their big teeth! And their arms! And claws!
 * Sophie Fletcher: (tearfully) What can we do now?
 * Lara Croft: You and other girls run back to the boat. I'll lure them away.
 * Lin Chang: Lara, don't! They'll...!
 * Lara Croft: Don't worry. (reveals three rings beneath her gloves) I'll be fine. (she slowly steps away from the group, and then runs, with the cyclopes chasing her) Go, now!
 * Headmaster: Lara! Lara, no!!
 * (the cyclopes completely leave the field to chase Lara)
 * Larson Stone: Leave it to me. (loads a gun and rushes to where the cyclopes went into)
 * Headmaster: (stares angrily at Amanda) If the worst happens to her, it will be all your fault! Understand!?!
 * (meanwhile, Lara is running away from the cyclopes until she is met with a dead end. Just as the lead cyclops approaches her and prepares to slam her with a blow of his hammer, they hear Sonic's voice echoing)
 * Sonic the Hedgehog: Roses are red, Violets are blue. (runs around in a blue streak of energy) Earth needs a hero, a hedgehog will do!
 * (Lara is caught by Sonic's streak which also knocks the cyclopes out one by one)
 * Larson Stone: (arrives to see the cyclopes unconscious) What the...? (he then sees the spot where Lara was in before the blue streak caught her. He finds small footprints based on Sonic's shoes) What are you? (looks at a tree and sees a printed picture of himself with a drawn arrow in the head) Someone knows why I brought these girls here. And if everyone else finds out, I'm done for.
 * (next, we see an unconscious Lara recovering and finding herself near a beautiful shire. She looks around and sees Sonic adjusting a few materials)
 * Lara Croft: (surprised) Blimey.
 * (Sonic notices Lara seeing him, and he freezes)
 * Sonic the Hedgehog: (nervously) Uh, meow?
 * Lara Croft: (with a curious face) You look a bit too hairy for a cat, don't you?
 * Sonic the Hedgehog: (slowly walks towards Lara) And you look confident enough not to be scared. I mean, really? You're not scared?
 * Lara Croft: Believe me. Somewhere in this life, I know I've seen stranger things. Although... (she touches Sonic's face with her both hands) not much with my own eyes... (she inspects Sonic's hair, and checks on the quill she carries) You were in my home, weren't you?
 * Sonic the Hedgehog: Not that I was there for anything like a theft. I don't do that. I just went there because... (picks his satchel, revealing the rings inside it) I was tracking these.
 * Lara Croft: Oh. (she checks her wooden box, and sees the rings) So you do have those too, don't you?
 * Sonic the Hedgehog: For a very long time ago. Yeah, I know. It's a long story.
 * Lara Croft: Well, I am aspiring to be an archeologist like my father before me. (smiles) Which makes me pretty fond of long stories to hear and tell. Especially yours. (Sonic smiles back)
 * (scene shifts to near the boat, where the girls are waiting desperately for Stone to return with Lara)
 * Sophie Fletcher: I do hope Lara made it well against these monsters, Lin. Where might she be?
 * Lin Chang: (checking her pod) It says here she's fine. And... she's not alone.
 * Headmaster: Did Mr. Stone find her?
 * Lin Chang: No. Not him, Headmaster. It's... (views a short image of Sonic, and Lin reacts surprised, as a flashback shows her having seen Sonic in Japan fighting a gang of yakuza thieves, and demonstrating his samurai style; scene shifts back to Present; she yells in Japanese) Aoi Samurai! (Translation for "Blue Samurai")
 * Headmaster: (confused) Samurai?
 * Sophie Fletcher: I think she means... (gasps; surprised) the Nomad! He's here. With Lara. (the Headmaster is stunned)
 * (we see Sonic and Lara walking around the forest)
 * Lara Croft: It must've been quite a long trip you've had these years. You've been in these countries?
 * Sonic the Hedgehog: Yep. And even now, I'm still known by these people for other names they came up with. Most of them still call me the "Nomad". The Greek call me "Hermes". And there are also the Japanese, who call me...
 * Lara Croft: The "Blue Samurai". I know. A friend of mine told me stories from her country. Stories about a speed-running "samurai warrior" who defeated every criminal gang in Japan. Her stories were quite splendid. (Sonic makes a impressed gesture) So, about this island... you've been here before, haven't you?
 * Sonic the Hedgehog: More than once, if you wanna know. Primarily to go see my soulmate Sally. She and my little pal Tails established a secret tech center here so they can help the Golden Realm's local tribe.
 * Lara Croft: So, there is a tribe. I heard rumors that a boy from Brazil was adopted by a couple of tribespeople after his parents perished along with a Natla Corporation crew when the T-Rex King attacked.
 * Sonic the Hedgehog: Yeah, those rumors are very much true. And Sally also told me that he's grown up to become an expert hunter.
 * (Lara smiles. Just then, they hear a roar and they are alarmed)
 * Lara Croft: Sonic? Is that...?
 * Sonic the Hedgehog: The T-Rex King. He's around here. He always knows when there are humans in this island. As old as he is, he's also pretty clever.
 * Lara Croft: And more undoubtedly, he recognizes the smell of Natla Corporation employees anywhere. Right?
 * Sonic the Hedgehog: Both veterans and rookies. There are rookies with your field trip group, right?
 * Lara Croft: Amanda Everett. She's still just an intern, but she was quite instrumental for Stone's plan for a conspiracy.
 * Sonic the Hedgehog: Then now, I think we know what we gotta do.
 * Lara Croft: To find the most effective way to expose Stone, before another student becomes a pawn for his or our nemeses' schemes.
 * Sonic the Hedgehog: Settled. But first, we gotta get rid of the T-Rex King. (quickly approaches Lara and carries her in his arms) Trust me?
 * Lara Croft: (gives an affirmative nod) As much as I can handle it.
 * (Sonic nods for agreement and, after Lara holds on tight, boosts on. Meanwhile, Stone is still searching for Lara in the forest. Just as he reaches the area where Sonic and Lara stopped by, Stone quickly hides in a tree when the T-Rex King -a large, grey Tyrannosaurus Rex with demonic red eyes, a facial scar around his left eye and crimson teeth- bursts in and inspects the area. Sniffing the rocks, the T-Rex King roars and walks into an unknown direction)
 * Larson Stone: (notices that the T-Rex King is following Lara's trail) He's coming after her. New priorities, then... (loads his gun) we follow the dinosaur, we reach the girl. And possibly, the asset with the evidence.
 * (Stone walks into the direction the T-Rex King followed, oblivious of a camouflaged drone spying on him. Next, we see Lara in the Golden Realm village, where she is practicing the use of a pair of Mobian tech gloves and a nanotech bow with Gabriel, and Sonic and Sally are viewing the island's activities through the drones. They see the T-Rex King and Stone coming)
 * Sally Acorn: Stone's following the T-Rex King. If his trail leads him to this village, it's possible that he'll report to either Robotnik or Natla. And that can't happen.
 * Sonic the Hedgehog: And it's not going to. You have my word. (Sally smiles. The two see Lara giving Gabriel a nod of agreement before Sonic and Sally look at each other) I'll be back for you. I promise.
 * Sally Acorn: I know. (they kiss) And I'll be waiting. (about Lara) Take good care of her, will you? (Sonic nods for yes)
 * (Sonic and Lara rush out of the village. Next, we see Stone walking around the forest)
 * Lara Croft: (offscreen) Weren't you following the dinosaur, Mr. Stone? (sees Lara on his left, and turning her back on him)
 * Larson Stone: Yes, but primarily to search for you.
 * Lara Croft: (with her phone in her hands, she discreetly passes the evidence of Stone's scheme to Lin's phone) So I've heard. (puts her phone on her pocket and draws her high tech bow) Just as I've heard... that the Headmaster should never have trusted you! (in one immediate second, she turns to see him and fires two electroshock arrows. One at his gun, one at Stone's shoulder, as he screams in pain and falls on his back)
 * Larson Stone: (grunts as Lara puts her foot on his chest) You... knew...?!
 * Lara Croft: Do you really take me for a fool? (small flashback of Lara seeing Stone triggering the sound box in Amanda's badge) Did you think I didn't know you set Amanda up with that soundbox you put on her badge? As if she was your puppet? (back to Present, she backs away from Stone) You had quite a plan for this conspiracy of yours, Stone. But I'm afraid, however, that this plan failed.
 * Larson Stone: (getting up) And who's going to believe in you? You have nothing to prove. So where are your sources? Where's your evidence?
 * Lara Croft: Why everywhere now, of course. With everyone. Including, you know who...
 * Larson Stone: (reacts confused until a flash of blue light uppercuts him) What...? (Sonic reveals himself) You... you're the one Robotnik spoke of. That blue alien...
 * Sonic the Hedgehog: Yeah, I figured he might've told a thing or two about me. Pretty much like what you told him about this island... (shows Stone's recorded conversation with Robotnik on his phone)
 * Larson Stone: (angrily) You've been spying on me?! (tries to attack Sonic, who knocks him out)
 * Sonic the Hedgehog: Not that I wanted to, but I had to. For the safety of the girls, you know. (ties Stones up in a tree) As much as beating you would be fun, the rich girl and I have places to go, people to save...
 * Lara Croft: (the T-Rex King arrives) And a angry dinosaur to remove from this island?
 * Sonic the Hedgehog: Yep. That was on my "to do" list for today.
 * (the T-Rex King roars and charges towards Sonic and Lara. The latter fires a smoke bomb arrow to briefly blind the T-Rex King, who uncontrollable charges towards the tree with Stone still trapped in it while Sonic and Lara dodge)
 * Larson Stone: (screams as the T-Rex King knocks the tree in the ground, and Sonic and Lara (mounted in a nanotech motorbike; the same seen in the opening of the episode) flee) Where are you two going?! GET BACK HERE AND UNTIE ME RIGHT NOW!!!
 * (the T-Rex King recovers his eyesight, gets up and chases Sonic and Lara, who dodge and evade his bites and tail whips)
 * Lara Croft: Tell me you have a plan?
 * Sonic the Hedgehog: Yep. (picks one of his rings) And I'm holding it in my hand right now.
 * (Sonic creates a large Ring Portal which sends them to the Center of the Earth)
 * Lara Croft: The Center of Earth. Are you serious?
 * Sonic the Hedgehog: Yeah, I know. It wasn't my best choice, but...
 * Lara Croft: (looks around, and smiles) On second thought, that's brilliant.
 * Sonic the Hedgehog: (the T-Rex King crosses over the Ring Portal) So, now we finish this?
 * Lara Croft: We finish this.
 * (they load their bracelets, and wink at each other. The T-Rex King charges at them again, and Sonic and Lara speed up and circle around him, confusing him. Then, they lasso his legs with energy beam ropes, tying up his legs until the T-Rex King begins losing balance. Then, Sonic and Lara lasso his head and bring him down. With the beast defeated, Sonic and Lara, giving a nod at each other for yes, rush into the portal and return safety to the island, right before the T-Rex King recovers, breaks free and chases them again one last time. But before he can reach them, the portal closes, leaving the T-Rex King stranded in the Center of the Earth. As Lara's motorbike deletes itself, she and Sonic are approached by the cheering students and the Headmaster, with Lin and Sophie hugging Lara in relief. Later, we see the students returned safely to London, as news about the incident are published)
 * Reporter: And what could have been a major catastrophe in the Golden Realm, involving the monstrous menace known as the T-Rex King, has been once again stopped by Sonic the Hedgehog. Globally known as the Nomad. (news are being watched by Natla in her office) As for Larson Stone, the mastermind behind the issuing chaos and his planned conspiracy against Lara Croft, is now being held under life imprisonment at the custody of the Guardian Units of Nations, alternatively known as G.U.N.. (Natla shuts off the television as a angered Amanda enters her office)
 * Jacqueline Natla: So I hear that Stone double-crossed us after all of this?
 * Amanda Everett: And because of that, I can no longer go back to school. I tried to convince the Headmaster that Stone set me up, but she accused me of helping him with his plan to dispose of Croft! And then, she casted me out! Can you believe it?!
 * Jacqueline Natla: Yes, it was a rather unfortunate injustice. But worry not. Soon enough, you'll have your revenge on Croft. As well as that alien rodent who shouldn't have saved her.
 * (Amanda stares angrily at Sonic's image on the public television; scene shifts to Sonic and Lara at the Golden Realm tribe)
 * Tribe's Chief: Having defeated the T-Rex King, and kept the secret of our existence safe, the Golden Realm tribe is forever in debt with you, Sonic the Hedgehog of Mobius. And you too, Lara Croft of London. Henceforth, the gates for our village will always be open for both of you.
 * (the tribespeople cheer as Lara spots Gabriel, who smiles at her, and she blushes with a smile and soft chuckle. And Sonic winks at Sally, who blows a kiss at him. Later, in the Croft Manor at night, Lara is in her bedroom in her bathing robes, with Sonic sitting in Lara's bed)
 * Sonic the Hedgehog: You sure you don't mind having me here in your mansion?
 * Lara Croft: As long as your presence here is a secret, everything should be fine. Also, because I owe you this for saving me from those cyclopes.
 * Sonic the Hedgehog: Well, heh... sure. Anytime.
 * Lara Croft: (sits next to Sonic) Besides... you could use a far more comfortable place to spend your days and nights. Giving the fact you've sleeping in cold caves... and other places far too harsh to call home... and...
 * Sonic the Hedgehog: And also given the fact that, despite having everything in this mansion, and the A.I. in it... you've still been living alone... without your parents...
 * Lara Croft: Yes...
 * Sonic the Hedgehog: (holds Lara's hands) Well... Sally did suggest me to take good care of you. Which's what I'll rank my most favorite new task. If that's also okay to you...
 * (Lara looks at Sonic. Smiling gently, she hugs him)
 * Lara Croft: That would be wonderful. Thank you, Sonic. (kisses his cheek)
 * Sonic the Hedgehog: (chuckles) Sure. (kisses her cheek) My pleasure, Lara. (they look at the stars from the window) So... still one week until your school year is over and summer vacations begin?
 * Lara Croft: Yes. And I know we'll be having the time of our lives when that day comes.
 * Sonic the Hedgehog: Amen to that. (as a sequence shows Lara and her classmates leaving school for their vacations, and Lara is shown in her safari suit and her nanotech motorbike, Sonic is heard narrating) And so, we waited that one week go by. She completed her last week of school year before she and her friends went for their summer vacations, and... guess what was the first thing we did? (Sonic opens a Ring Portal to Africa, and the two speed up and race across Africa. The same freeze from from the beginning of the episode is shown and Sonic picks up the story.) Yep. So, here we are again! Now you understand why there’s a cute rich teenager and a supersonic blue hedgehog racing together. Want to know how their beautiful friendship will go by? Well... stay tuned for more. (scene shifts to another planet) As for that Eggman, you must be wondering: "Is he still coming back, Sonic?" Well, I'm not too sure if he will, or how. But, I can only hope he won't be doing it so soon. (we see Dr. Robotnik, who is overseeing the construction of his new headquarters)
 * Orbot: We already have 75% of the company relocated, Doctor. The next 25% should be here in one hour.
 * Dr. Robotnik: Good. And do remember to be careful with them. Structural integrity is crucial. (Orbot nods and gets back to work. Robotnik is staring at a image of Sonic in a poster, with a angry face) This isn't over yet, Hedgehog. I swear... you will regret this for the rest of your life. (as the camera zooms out of Robotnik's grounds and shows a bird’s eye view of the Mushroom Planet, we hear the sound of a wooden box falling in the ground) CUBOT!! HAVEN'T I TOLD YOU TO BE CAREFUL WITH THAT EQUIPMENT?!! THOSE ARE EXPENSIVE!!!
 * Cubot: (offscreen) Sorry, boss! Won't happen again!
 * (episode ends)
