Transcript

 * (issue opens with Sonic and Desmond Wolf shaking hands with one another, while Amy and Shadow come in)
 * Sonic the Hedgehog: (narrating) And that was how our project began. With Desmond Wolf agreeing to help with our movie, which his company Desmond Pictures would now distribute. Of course after that... there came the requirements we needed for the movie. Starting with... THE CREW.
 * Desmond Wolf: I'll be discussing the concept of the movie with Amy and Shadow until the three of you are done gathering the crew. Best of luck, Sonic.
 * Sonic the Hedgehog: Thanks, sir. You won't regret this. (he moves on along with Tails and Knuckles while Desmond speaks with Amy and Shadow; next scene shows them on streets)
 * Knuckles the Echidna: So... who are we gonna list for our big movie crew?
 * Miles "Tails" Prower: Besides the three producers, which are us... the casting director, which's Amy... and the director, which's you, Sonic...
 * Sonic the Hedgehog: Yep...
 * Miles "Tails" Prower: ...we're gonna need someone who can take care of the lighting and camera. Someone who can provide us the sound effects and the soundtrack. Someone who can take care of the costume design and make up. And... well, some others which still need to be discussed about.
 * Sonic the Hedgehog: Alright, then. Let's make it count. Also, I sure hope Amy won't have too much trouble getting us some pretty good faces... and voices... for the cast.
 * Knuckles the Echidna: Well, she knows about good acting. Something that "movie" didn't have by the way. So, it's a win.
 * (walking around, the trio are met with Rogue the Bat, who sees them with their movie list)
 * Rouge the Bat: What's on your to-do list now, boys?
 * Sonic the Hedgehog: Consider this unusual of us or not, Rouge. But it just happened to be a little something we took the pleasure of doing. After the big fiasco we watched today...
 * Rouge the Bat: The three of you watched that cruddy trash of a movie called "Pierre the Great" too, didn't you? Should've guessed.
 * Knuckles the Echidna: How bad did you think it was?
 * Rouge the Bat: Like the three of you called it: a big fiasco. Maybe, the worst. And believe me, I know a thing or two about really bad movies. And personally, I watched that garbage for only five minutes, but after seeing how much of a disaster it is...
 * Miles "Tails" Prower: ...you went out of the theater...
 * Rouge the Bat: ...and didn't bother looking back. (notices the list in Tails' hands, and smiles) Now, back to what you boys are up to, let me guess. The well popular Desmond Wolf is helping you make your own movie...
 * Sonic the Hedgehog: ... which, unlike that big fiasco, isn't about the moron who produced it or starred it in... but about something better and more entertaining.
 * Miles "Tails" Prower: And so far, mr. Desmond had us gather a crew while Amy and Shadow discussed more about the plot.
 * Rouge the Bat: Nice... well, let's see... (sees the list) If your boss approves, I could give you guys a pretty good hand with the characters' make up and costume design. You can count me in.
 * Sonic the Hedgehog: Well... thanks, Rouge. That's really helpful. See you in the studio.
 * (next, the trio meet Silver)
 * Silver the Hedgehog: A movie, yes? Better not be like that fiasco which that fool Pierre created and starred.
 * Sonic the Hedgehog: Absolutely not, Silver. It's more about the Chao travelling in space, and saving the universe as we know it. If that's good enough...
 * Silver the Hedgehog: And that actually is... (smiles) pretty better. And it would also be a pleasure for me to help.
 * Miles "Tails" Prower: Glad to hear that. Because, we were just wondering... (shows Silver the crew list, and Silver picks one of the options)
 * Silver the Hedgehog: If mr. Desmond approves, I could take pretty good care of the lighting and camera.
 * Sonic the Hedgehog: Works well for us.
 * (next scenes show Sonic, Tails and Knuckles gathering more of their friends to join the filming crew; those include the Team Chaotix, Tangle the Lemur, Belle the Tinkerer, and Whisper the Wolf and her Wisps)
 * Sonic the Hedgehog: (narrating the following sequence) And yeah, we were pretty sure Desmond wouldn't mind... if Tails, Knuckles and I gathered more of our friends to join the filming crew. Thankfully enough, they all said yes. And each of them had a pretty good role in the movie production. The ones which suited them better, I'd say.
 * Vector the Crocodile: 'Cause I know good music, you can leave the soundtrack to me.
 * Espio the Chameleon: Charmy and I will see what can be done about the sound effects.
 * Tangle the Lemur: That seems nice! And if it's okay for mr. Desmond, I'm sure Belle and I could help with the art and production design.
 * Whisper the Wolf: In our area of expertise, my Wisps and I could help pretty well with the visual effects.
 * (we see the Desmond Pictures facility, where Blaze the Cat is met with Silver)
 * Sonic the Hedgehog: (narrating) And of course, there were these others we thought might be too busy with personal duties. Like our good friend Blaze, who was with Amy, Cream, and the Chao when the idea begun. Luckily, she didn't say no to that. It's nice to know that she very much understands how a really good movie truly works well...
 * Blaze the Cat: You too, Silver?
 * Silver the Hedgehog: Yeah, I offered to help with the lights and camera. And you, Blaze?
 * Blaze the Cat: I was with Amy and Cream showing our love for the Chao before we heard Sonic and his friends seeking to make this movie, with the promise to help us forget that monstrosity many of us saw this week. Amy offered me the role of narrator of the story. Mr. Desmond also agreed that Shadow and I could work on the script. And of course, Cream is helping Amy pretty well with, heh... the cast. (they see Cream the Rabbit and her Chao Cheese with a number of Chao following them. Then, she and Silver notice Vector, Espio, Charmy, Tangle, Belle, Whisper, the Wisps, and E-123 Omega coming) And it looks like Sonic and his friends managed to gather as many of our friends as they could to join the crew.
 * Silver the Hedgehog: And each with a role in the crew, I see.
 * Charmy Bee: (arriving in the studio, he notices the Chao with Cream) Whoa. That's a lot of Chao, guys.
 * Espio the Chameleon: Definitely, because it's their movie, they're the actors... the extras, perhaps...
 * Vector the Crocodile: Actors... extras... this movie's still gonna need them all. And without a doubt about it, it's gonna be a lot better than that waste of money called "Pierre the Great". Believe it, boys.
 * Desmond Wolf: (hearing what Vector said; on thoughts) Maybe not so perfect, but yes. Pretty much better indeed.
 * Taglines: "NEXT: THE STORY WITHIN THE STORY..."
