It’s a Bet / Transcript

NAME: IT’S A BET

''Sonic and Violetta are sparring outside of Sonic’s shack. Violetta caught Sonic’s punch and gave him an uppercut to the stomach. He attempted to axe kick her, but she dodged it and spin kicked his back, winning the fight.''

Violetta: I won, again.

Sonic: You didn’t win, I just went easy on you.

Violetta: Keep telling yourself that. You know I won. As a matter of fact, I always do.

Sonic: Are you saying you think you’re better than me?

Violetta: Please. I don’t think, I know.

Sonic: How about we prove it?

Violetta: Sure. How about an actual fight? Not just sparring.

Sonic: Loser exposes their most embarrassing secret in front of the gang.

Violetta: It’s a bet.

They’re now sitting with Amy at a table in Meh Burger.

Amy: Exposing your most embarrassing secret? Isn’t that a bit… much?

Violetta: Don’t think so.

Sonic: Don’t see any complication.

Amy: This is crazier than any other bet you’ve placed, Sonic!

Violetta: Isn’t crazy good?

Amy: In Sticks’s eyes, maybe. In my eyes, definitely not. You shouldn’t go on with this.

Violetta: Why?

Amy: I have a feeling that you want to get back to your old life, Violetta. Your actions have been more hostile nowadays. More sparring, training, it seems as if you’re preparing for something. That may as well be eliminating all of us.

Sonic: [shocked] Amy!

Violetta: It’s alright. But I don’t always look for a fight. But you should always be ready for one. Sonic, we can battle next week. Prepare for it, though.

She disappeared in a streak of purple, and Sonic turned to Amy, appalled.

Sonic: How could you?!

Amy: Sonic, look at the facts. It’s been a week since she tried to kill you. Are you telling me you trust her?

Sonic: She let me go. Try to think about that too.

''As he walked across the beach, he saw Violetta training with her sword, then she stopped and spoke into an earpiece. Doubt flickered across his face, but he seemed to shake it off and he walked away.''

We are now in the Village Centre, where Soar the Eagle is reporting.

Soar: I am Soar the Eagle, and I am reporting live at an unusual event. Sonic and Violetta the Hedgehog are about to have a sporting fight. Let’s watch to find out more.

Tails walks up to the two, holding a whistle.

Tails: This is a battle. You need to fight [gulps] without mercy. You got it?

''Violetta says nothing, she just narrows her eyes. The whistle sounded and Sonic tried to throw a punch, but Violetta dodged it and kicked him in the stomach, then blasted him with her energy blast. Sonic kicked her in the leg, but she punched his chest, sending him crashing down again, and the camera switches to Sonic’s vision as Violetta punches him in the face, knocking him out.''

Later, Sonic approached Violetta angrily as she was polishing her sword.

Sonic: [angrily] What was that for?!

Violetta: Nothing. Are you telling me it actually hurt you?

Sonic: It wasn’t meant for you to go full out! If I did then it would’ve been a fight to the death.

Violetta: [calmly] Look. I’m trained to be ruthless and nothing else. I can’t change that. We bet on the fight. I won. You can expose your secret in front of me and then tell the rest of the gang.

Sonic: I tried to defend you in front of Amy. But now I know that you’re going back to who you used to be. The Black Assassin.

''Violetta made a movement and lifted up her right arm, showing a device on her palm. A blast issued from it and Sonic got hit, sending him flying. Violetta ran a hand through her hair, then picked up a navy hood, which was attached to her Black Assasssin suit.''

Violetta: I don’t want to be her. But I don’t have a choice.

She threw it onto the ground.

''Later, Sonic came looking for her. He found her in her workshop using a welding laser. He cleared his throat, and Violetta removed her mask and looked up, then down.''

Violetta: What happened to you thinking I’m you-know-who?

Sonic: I haven’t changed my mind.

Violetta threw her mask aside and glared at him.

Violetta: So that’s what you still think of me?!

Sonic: You barely speak to anyone about your past! Amy says you don’t socially interact that much, what am I supposed to think?! Amy told me that if someone doesn’t socially interact then it’s mostly a sign of up-to-something!

Violetta: Get your assumptions out of the way, Sonic, because I don’t want to talk about my past! I even showed you half of my past and you still expect me to talk about it? I will not discuss something I’m ashamed of! You know what?! I think it’s disgusting that my best friend could doubt me like this. Get out.

''She pointed to the door. Sonic hesitated, realising what damage he’s dealt.''

Sonic: Vi…

She took hold of his neckerchief and threw him roughly towards the door, furious.

Violetta: I said GET OUT!

''He got up and left. Violetta sat down on the desk, breathing heavily. Then she screamed, a purple burst of energy exploding from her in slow motion, wrecking the room. She looked at the damage around her and flattened herself against the wall, her breathing even faster.''

After that, Sonic was storming through Village Centre, then he sees the rest of Team Sonic sans Violetta with backpacks.

Sonic: Where are you going?

Tails: Camping.

Amy: You and Violetta can take care of things around here.

Sonic’s eyes widened, knowing that Violetta didn’t want to talk to him.

Sonic: But… wait!

''They were gone. Sonic turned around, sighing, and saw Violetta.''

Violetta: [looking annoyed] I’m assuming this was a plot to get us to get along, but it’s just not working. I have an idea. You can have routine patrol No.1, I can have No.2. Make sure you’re out of here before I arrive. Oh, and do the patrol walking. Got it?

''She ran away, and Sonic sighed, then proceeded to walk around disgruntledly, clearly evident he doesn’t like walking. When he had zoned out, he came face to face with Giant Robot.''

Sonic: The same?

Eggman: The core is not in the eye anymore. Good luck!

When Sonic tried to spin dash the arm of the robot, he was swatted away, and each move he did, the robot wasn’t outsmarted.

Sonic: [to Eggman] Mo-cap?

Eggman: [excitedly] Yep!

''When Sonic was caught off guard, he was swatted into a glass cage. He tried to spin dash out, but he didn’t make a scratch. Eggman picked up the container with a magnet and flew away.''

Sonic: I’m going to be stuck in this jar for ages. How on earth will I get out of here?

His ears perked up and he tapped his communicator.

Violetta: I am NOT going to take your shift so you can get a chilli dog!

Sonic: Actually, Eggman’s captured me. In a glass container.

Violetta: Bulletproof, steel particle reinforced, chemically bonded glass?

Sonic: [not understanding] Yep. That.

Violetta: Stay where you are. The next thing Eggman will put on you are speed reduction handcuffs, so no way out.

Sonic: How do you know this?

Violetta: Once you become a villain, you know how they think. I’m on my way!

Sonic slumped against the side of the glass, sighing.

Later, he was in handcuffs in a chair where his legs were chained too.

Eggman: What shall I do with you?

Sonic: Let me go?

Eggman: NO!

Sonic: Then there’s no point of keeping me here.

He lifted his hands and a sword broke through them, to be caught by Violetta.

Violetta: Step one to being a successful villain: make your robots and gadgets durable.

''She slid over Eggman’s table and chucked her knife, Sonic doing a back handspring, which allowed the knife to slice through the chains. They fought the robots guarding Sonic, then turned to each other as they walked out.''

Sonic: I hope this makes up for everything. You saved my neck.

Violetta: Again. But, it does. I realised that we’re both equal.

Sonic: [Whispering slightly] Equal. I like it.

Their silhouettes are visible in the sunset, and the screen fades to black.
