Sonic Underground Remake Ep 15: To Catch a Queen

Aleena: (narrating) Queen Aleena here. Argus, a trusted captain of my personal guard, was on his way to a secret rendezvous, when he was spotted by Robotnik's relentless bounty-hunters, Sleet and Dingo, along with his robots, whose goal, as ever, is to capture the Queen.

In a town called Mobi-Grabah, a ship flew over the city, trying to escape. As it passed a building, a fox with brown hair wearing an orange suit with a stripe in the middle looked concerned.

Fox: There he is...Argus. And where there's a member of Queen Aleena's comrades, there's bound to be...

Just then, she saw the giant ship about to capture someone. The ship headed through the city as the red ship fired. Inside, a jackal with an eye-patch glanced back while trying to escape. Inside the other one, a familiar wolf glanced at the ship while speaking through the communicator with Dingo, Bocoe, and Decoe looking at him.

Sleet: Attention Swatbot units! I need a top-priority intercept on Robotnik Road, sector 5!

Decoe: This is serious! He may know where Queen Aleena is.

Bocoe: And once we capture him, I'm sure Robotnik will reward us.

Meanwhile, in the streets, a familiar, yet giant van was driving through the city while inside, Manic looked at the controls.

Manic: Must be some big dealings for a top-priority intercept!

All while they noticed Sonia reading a "Fur Fashion" magazine with a blond chipmunk in a pink outfit in the front cover.

Sonia: Right now, finding a gift for my dear Bartleby is my top priority!

Back with the foes, they continued the chase with the other ship.

Sleet: Our target is a captain in the Queen's own guard! He may have information enabling us to capture Aleena herself.

Bocoe & Decoe: Oh joy!

The fox only smirked, watching the scene, before looking at the van.

Fox: Guess it'll have to happen sooner or later.

With the SU, they heard the communication as Cyrus looked concerned.

Cyrus: Well, that's not good.

Manic: Sleet's trying to capture Ma?

Sonic: No way, Sleet-meat.

Sonia: Sonic, stop this van immediately!

The van suddenly stopped.

Big: Uh, but what about Bartleby's gift?

The van opened up as the pink hedgehog was on the motorcycle, driving away from the van.

Sonia: Bartleby can wait, but Mother can't!

She stopped for a moment, looking back.

Sonia: What's keeping us, slo-mo?

Manic then came out with Big, Cream, Cyrus, and Cheese on what appeared to be board upgrades.

Manic: We're waiting.

Bunnie, Sonic, and Mina finally came out.

Sonic: (frowns) Nice try kids, but that's my line!

The blue hedgehog speeded passed everyone, forcing them to spin around.

Mina: Sonic, sometimes, I just don't understand you at all!

Back with the ship, it continued flying away from the ship firing at him. Below, the Swatbots fired at him. The ship was hit as it crashed down onto them. When it landed, the jackal got out, then ran quickly. He continued to run, but he gasped, noticing the ship in front of him.

Jackal: Argh!

The jackal continued to run, with the ship chasing him. However, the ship stopped when it was near a narrow area.

Dingo: Sleet! He's getting away!

Sleet: Oh no he's not...

The wolf took out the remote, zapping Dingo, transforming him into a baby. The robots opened the top hatch while Sleet threw Dingo toward the jackal.

Sleet: Help! Please! Somebody catch my baby!

The jackal stopped, noticing the fake baby coming to him. Quickly, he caught Dingo, oblivious on who it really was.

Argus: Don't worry little fella, I got you.

Just then, to his horror, Dingo was zapped by the remote as the dingo changed back to normal on his arms. The jackal yelped as Dingo was on top of him, due to the weight.

Dingo: Ooh, goo gi go ga gil goo go da daaa! How's that?

The ship came to the two as it landed near them. As the wolf got out, he looked at Dingo and the prisoner.

Sleet: Cuff him, Dingo!

The wolf tossed the cuffs to Dingo, who took them.

Bocoe: He-he. The old flying baby trick works every time!

Decoe: Do we really need a reminder of that baby android!?

As the jackal was cuffed, a chuckle was heard, one familiar to Sleet and Dingo.

Voice: Well, well, if it isn't Wolf Man and his dumb sidekick. But where are your other comrades? Oh, that's right, they're dead!

Dingo: Sleet, I know that voice!

Sleet: It can't be!

The two yelped, noticing the same female fox grinning a cute smile. Angrily, the wolf shouted to the robots.

Sleet: Don't just stand there! Get her!

However, when he looked back, he noticed the fox was gone.

Bocoe: Uh, there's no one there.

The wolf only frowned at the situation.

Sleet: What the hell does that traitor want anyway?

A bit later, Sonic's group came to the ship that was shot down.

Sonia: Sonic, Mina, check out that hovercraft for clues.

Sonic: Already did!

Sonia: (sarcastically) Oh right! And I suppose you zipped over there faster than the speed of light and...

Then, she gasped as she saw the objects in their hands.

Mina: We got his car keys, dog tags...

Sonic then examined the tags with the name on it.

Sonic: Hmm...Argus: captain of Queen Aleena's personal guard?

Manic: Excellent! A guy like that is bound to know where we can find Mom!

Mina then took out a photo.

Sonic: And one ancient photograph of-

Before he could continue, Sonia took the photo. On the photo were that of the three hedgehogs themselves as children along with the same jackal whom was younger, a wolf in armor, a fox with an eyepatch, a squirrel king, some other furry children, some familiar to them, Vanilla with another rabbit alongside baby Bunnie, and another figure, though the part with his head was torn off the picture. With them was a cloaked figure.

Sonia: Ahhhh, just look at me! Wasn't I cute?

Bunnie: Oh my stars, that's me and the missing princess of King Acorn.

Cream: (smiles) And there are our parents...that wolf must be Sleet's father, I bet. Oh, and there's Banjo. And that figure with his head missing...you think that may be the Weasel King?

Mina: Strange, I don't remember any of us being there.

Big: What do you expect? You were all really young, Mina.

Cream: You guys really are cute in this picture.

Manic: Like, we all were. I don't really remember her from back then, but that must be Mom!

Voice: Hey, guys!

The group looked, noticing the same fox jumping down to them.

Fox: Hey there.

Big: Oh my goodness. Who are you?

Fox: No time for explanations. First off, you're too late in finding this guy, Argus. He's already caught. Second, if we don't hide, we'll be caught too.

Sonic: (notices) Here they come.

Quickly, the group hid themselves. As soon as they were hidden, the same red ship came to the fallen ship while Dingo looked concerned.

Dingo: Aw, come on Sleet, why can't I question Argus at the robo-centre with you three?

The ship door opened and Dingo was shoved out as Sleet explained to him.

Sleet: Because we need a fly on the wall to spy on the hedgehogs, in case they come back looking for clues!

The wolf used the remote once more, turning Dingo into a small fly.

Sleet: Capish?

Dingo: (small voice) What I capish is, you guys want all the credit for catching Argus!

Sleet: I'll be back later, partner.

With that, the ship left the area. Back in Robotropolis, Argus, the jackal, looked at Sleet with a frown.

Argus (Jackal): I know who you are. You're my old friend's son. If he ever saw you working for that Eggman, he'd hurt you badly!

Sleet: I'm just doing my job.

Argus: Like what? Hunting the innocent? Killing children? Is this the kind of person your father wanted you to be?

The doors between them closed.

Sleet: It was either work for Robotnik or be killed and/or be roboticised as his ally.

Argus: (realizes) So that means you're forced into this. Please, you can get me out of this. You can still make things work.

The wolf only sighed sadly while Argus noticed a hidden tear in his eyes.

Sleet: (quietly) I'm sorry...

When it opened, Sleet retook his serious look as Argus was placed in the center of a familiar machine, with Bocoe and Decoe preparing it.

Bocoe: If you know where to find Queen Aleena, tell kind, sweet Dr. Robotnik, and he will give you rank, privileged and power!

Decoe: (to Robotnik) Even though he'll be roboticised anyway.

Argus: (glares) Forget it! I'll never rat on the Queen!

Robotnik: In that case kiss rank and privileged goodbye, and say hello to power...

Outside the place, Sonic speeded toward the place. Back inside, the machine was about ready as the evil man prepared to pull the lever.

Robotnik: The power of my robotosizer, to be more precise! Ha-ha-ha-ha!

The machine closed with Sleet looking away. The machine shot some beams all around inside. Finally, just as Sonic came to the roof glass, looking below, there he saw the roboticiser finish its work. When it opened, out stepped a robotic version of Argus. Back with Sonic, the others caught up as Sonic sighed.

Sonic: We were fast, but not fast enough. Argus is gone! And now we'll never find Mom...

Cream: How terrible. That strange fox that mysterious appeared and disappeared suddenly warned us too late.

Manic then grinned, realizing something.

Manic: Wait just a minute: don't high-level bots get initiated at a special shin-dig at Botworks Hall?

Sonia: Right! And you don't get much higher than Captain to the Queen!

Sonic: Only this time, we're going to un-initiate Argus-bot! Hang on Mom, we'll find you yet!

The others grinned as they headed off. Later, at a place called the Botworks Hall, many rich aristocrats were awaiting for a show while in a box seat, a rich lady looked at Robotnik and his crew.

Lady: I'm so excited. This is my first Robot Induction Ceremony.

Below, Sonic's group, disguised as robots, were preparing the ceremony as Sonia was directing Sonic and Cyrus, though they had a hard time, due to the weight of the machine.

Sonia: Let's see, put the main console over there... no I think over there would be good... although actually, it's better off right where it started.

Cyrus: Please, make up your mind.

Sonic: In that case, I'd say it's best if you or Big do it yourselves!

Big: Okay.

He lifted the console with ease while Sonia sighed.

Sonia: All you have to do is ask.

All while Manic was stealing a few things.

Manic: Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh I could use one of these! Ooh-ooh and this one is trade rash!

Mina noticed what Manic was doing before she frowned, heading to him.

Mina: Hey Manic, let's get clear on the concept. We're here impersonating sound-bots and risking our lives to rescue Argus! Not to re-equip your studio!

Manic: I know, I know, we're Freedom Fighters, not crooks, sorry Mina, I got carried away.

The performance began as each one performed, very badly. Many of them screamed, groaned, or covered their ears. Then, the screen with Robotnik came on while Robotnik himself came to the stage.

Robotnik: Is everyone having a real good time?

Squirrel: No, we're having a sucky time!

Robotnik: Good, because that would be against the law. Also, robots, kill that audience member.

The squirrel was shot and killed by the Swatbots, making the other aristocrats scream.

Robotnik: Also, those that say the performance "sucks" will be shot!

Cream only glared angrily to him just as the spotlight hit Argus, Bocoe, Decoe, and Sleet.

Robotnik: Now, let's welcome Argus-bot, formerly of the Queen's own guard, captured by Special Agent Sleet along with my creations, Bocoe and Decoe.

The three in the box seat waved to them. As soon as the lights turned off, a familiar fly landed on the wolf's nose.

Sleet: Dingo, did I forget you? Get off me you idiot!

He took out his remote, changing Dingo back to normal. However, the dingo was still on his nose before the robots, yelping, tried helping Sleet shove Dingo off, but it was too late as Dingo landed on top of the three.

Dingo: Sorry...

All while the robotic Argus was on stage with Robotnik.

Robotnik: Welcome, Argus-bot! Your orders are: Stamp out freedom! Squash fun! And arrest enemies of the state!

At that point, Sonic stopped.

Sonic: That's my cue! I'll take that Buttnik old boy!

Sonic speeded around the fat man. Sonic then threw the mic toward him, knocking Robotnik out.

Argus: ARREST ALL ENEMIES OF THE STATE!

However, Robotnik recovered as he shouted.

Robotnik: You heard him fools! Arrest these hedgehogs and idiots with them!

The Swatbots came up to the stage, preparing to attack the group.

(Flip Card: Argus)
Argus, the former captain of the Queen's guard, arranges a secret meeting with her. But he is soon intercepted by Robotnik's bounty hunters, Sleet and Dingo, who have every intention of feeding the soldier to the Roboticizer, the Sonic Heroes race to the rescue...all while the heroes meet a mysterious figure. Who is she?
