Main Story

 * (scene opens in the island of Kefalonia, Greece. Sonic the Hedgehog and Lara Croft (who is wearing a green bikini swimsuit) are at Petani Beach playing volleyball)
 * Sonic the Hedgehog: (narrating) That's me. Sonic the Hedgehog. Fastest hedgehog alive, you know. It's been 10 years since I landed here on Earth when my planet was becoming a dangerous place to live in. Ever since then, I began traveling around the world and living in numerous countries before relocating myself again and again from one territory to another. Well... at least until I was certain that one of them was to be truly called home. And a new home, I found in London, England... with this sweet princess who loves a good adventure. And relics, to be honest... (during narration, Sonic and Lara stop playing and sit on the sand) Lara Croft. The daughter of famous rich archaeologists Richard and Amelia Croft who lost their lives about the same year when I first landed on Earth. Ever since then, she's been living alone in that big mansion with her family A.I. WINSTON. Without mom, or dad, or any brother or sister to enjoy herself with. Which's one of the reasons why she has me now. And dare I say: whatever comes to us, we're handling it just fine.
 * Lara Croft: (taking a breath) Dare I say it, Sonic. I surely didn't think I would have this kind of excitement in my vacations until today.
 * Sonic the Hedgehog: Yeah, I know. It's kinda hard to make it happen. Especially when we want to do it in a more private place. But, it also doesn't mean it's impossible. (Lara gives a smiling stare a Sonic before watching the sea) So, about this island...
 * Lara Croft: Yes?
 * Sonic the Hedgehog: I take it there's any personal reason you want to visit it besides this beach?
 * Lara Croft: I would say it's because of my long passion for Greece. Everything, including its culture, its relics... and its mythology. You've studied Greek Mythology when you once lived in here. Haven't you?
 * Sonic the Hedgehog: Ever since some of the Greek started calling me "Hermes", yeah. I did study a lot about it. History of the Olympian Gods, the weapons and relics they forged...and also the cities, including this old nation ruled by two kings and a queen, until it went down the oceans.
 * Lara Croft: Oh, yes. (scene cuts to Jacqueline Natla's office, where Natla is overseeing data about Atlantis; voice over) The lost underwater nation of Atlantis.
 * Amanda Everett: (entering Natla's office, and wearing a swimsuit) You want me and James to do this? To dive into Atlantis...?
 * Jacqueline Natla: And search for the Trident of Poseidon. Bring it to me, and you'll have all the resources you need to outrank Croft. And maybe also, that silly little rodent. Will you do it?
 * Amanda Everett: (short smile) I thought you'd never ask.
 * (Amanda exits the room and takes the helicopter with James Rutland next to her, and with a mysterious, dwarfish man disguised as the pilot flying the helicopter with a secret smile. Scene cuts to Sonic and Lara having been joined by their friends in their picnic at the beach)
 * Lara Croft: (to Sally) So, you and Sonic... you've been together like this since his first victory against Robotnik?
 * Sally Acorn: And since we discovered the Golden Realm's tribe. Like Sonic decided to explore the world, Tails and I decided to live in that village, and help the tribe the way we must. And, you know... despite our differences, Sonic and I are still each other's soulmates.
 * Lara Croft: (supportive smile) How lovely. (then, she sees Gabriel with Sonic)
 * Sally Acorn: And for what I gather... Gabriel drew a lot of your attention when you two first saw each other in the village. Hmm?
 * Lara Croft: (her eyes widen in surprise over the thought) I, huh... don't know what you're talking about. (turns her eyes around as she blushes with a shy look)
 * Sally Acorn: (supportive chuckle) It's alright, Lara. Either there is or not a closer attachment between you two, you have my support about it.
 * Lara Croft: (smiles) Thank you, Sally.
 * (see cuts to Sonic and Gabriel making a few exercises)
 * Sonic the Hedgehog: (impressed) Well... Sally wasn't kidding when she said you've improved over your years in that village. And I know for sure you're gonna get better.
 * Gabriel: It was thanks to everything she and the shamans taught me. Although, I didn't have the skill you and Lara had to defeat the T-Rex King.
 * Sonic the Hedgehog: Yeah, but still... it doesn't mean you won't be proving your strength to impress others. Like, you know... (he and Gabriel notice Lara, whom Gabriel is still smitten to) Wanna talk to her?
 * Gabriel: Well... (reacts nervous as he blushes)
 * Sonic the Hedgehog: Yeah, I know. You're nervous. That was also me when Sally and I first met. But soon, we warmed up more. And, we no longer had anything to hide from each other.
 * Gabriel: You really think that's possible?
 * Sonic the Hedgehog: Anything is possible. All you need is a leap of faith.
 * Gabriel: (pauses for second, and takes a confident breath) Leap of faith, yes. You're right.

More coming soon...
