"Dr Eggman's Tomato Sauce?" Sonic read the title of the screen.
"Ewwww! I don't want any of Eggman's Tomato Sauce!" Amy exclaimed with disgust.
"If I were to feed you one of my foods I would poison you." Eggman stated.
"Exactly why I don't want any!"
"What's wrong with tomato sauce?" Cream asked innocently.
Tails waved his hand. "There's nothing wrong with tomato sauce, Cream." He then frowns. "It just depends on the person who makes."
"Oh."
Knuckles picture Eggman wearing a chefs outfit. He chuckled. Hilarious.
The scene shows Tails fixing his plane. Sonic, Amy, Knuckles and Sticks all joined him.
Sonic glanced at Tails. "Tails. We're heading for Meh Burger. Wanna come along?"
"I'm installing an awesome speaker system in my baby." Tails said.
Sonic snickered. "His baby?"
Amy, however, was in awe. "Aww, Tails! That's so adorable!"
Tails blushed heavenly. "I would never say that."
Sonic raised a brow, smiling. "Suuuuure you would."
Tails smiled. "Check it out!" Tails pressed a button on his remote plane, and a second later, it started dancing to a rock song."
Amy shook her head. "You spend way too much time with that plane!"
Amy nodded. "You're speaking facts other me!'
"It's like he LOVES it!" Knuckles teased, putting a hand on Tails back. "Do love your plane, Tails? Do you LOVE?"
"I do." Tails shot Knuckles a glare.
"Oh." Knuckles said. "Well that took the wind out of my cells."
Milla furrowed her brows. "Serves you right for teasing him." She then giggles. But it's cute that he loves his plane.
Tails turned back to his plane. "Now if you'll excuse me, it's time for her propeller-to-tails fuselage massage.
Carol raised a brow. "He's gonna massage his plane?"
"That's weird." Spade said, flatly.
Milla frowned at the Panda. "Hey leave him alone! It's not Tails' fault that he care for his plane."
"Just like how you care for your equipment?"
Milla stick her tongue at Spade.
Sticks shook her head. "Okay, we're getting you out of here. That's just nuts!"
"Agreed." Amy said.
The scene changes with Tails and his friends walking through the village shopping center.
"Thanks for talking me into coming along," Tails smiled. "It was good for me to get away from the workshop. So I could buy more stuff for my plane!"
His friends groaned in annoyance.
Knuckles groaned as well. He looked at the kit. "Seriously, Tails. You need to get out more."
"I do get out more!"
"I meant like doing something on your own."
Amy smiled. "Yeah! Like going shopping!"
Tails gave her a look. "Amy, I don't wear clothes."
Sonic smirked. "Then you should jog."
"I can work out on my own, Sonic."
"Jeez, you're no fun."
"Free samples! Get your free sample!"
Amy recognized that voice. "Is that, Eggman?"
Eggman groaned. "And so it begins."
Eggman is shown in a cooking hat and apron. "Step right up and try the zestiest, lip-smackingest flavor extravaganza ever to hit your taste buds to hit your taste buds: Eggman's tomato Sauce! Made with real tomatoes."
Sonic frowned. "This isn't good." Sonic quickly sped over and knocked the bowl of tomato sauce from a customer's hand.
"You'll thank me later." Sonic told the crowd. He glared at Eggman. "I know you're up to something Eggman; I just don't know what it is yet."
Cory deadpanned. "Then why did you smack the bowls out of their hands?"
Sonic shrugged. "Instinct?"
Knuckles scoffed. "Looks who's not the sharpest tool in the shed now."
"Be quiet, Knux."
Tails furrowed his brow. "A better question is, 'Why would everyone take food from Eggman, who is a villain'??"
Shadow rolled his eyes. "That's because these people's minds are too slow to understand what's happening around them."
"You're trying to poison these people villagers!" Amy accuses Eggman, making the villagers gasped.
Blaze sighs. "You know who he is and yet you're still surprised?"
Silver scratched his head. "I'll never understand them."
"I don't think you should, Silver."
"Poison?" Eggman looked confused. "There's no poison here," He picked up his tomato can. "Just my patented blend of herbs and spices! Here, I'll try some myself!" The doctor picked up his spoon and sipped it. "See, harmless and delicious." He pointed the spoon at Sonic. "You try."
Sonic looked grossed out. "And taste your soggy breath? Heck No!"
Eggman glare at the speedster. "I'll have you know, that I brushed my teeth everyday! Day and night! If anyone has a soggy breath it's you, rodent!"
"He's not wrong."
Sonic glanced at the red echidna. "Knux!"
"What? Eating chili dogs gives you bad breath."
"Which is why he MUST eat the food that I fixed for him!"
Sonic shook his head rapidly. "No way! Chili dogs are my favorite food in the whole wide world!"
Eggman facepalmed. "I've never really understood on why that pink hedgehog loves you some much."
Amy clasped her hands dreamily. "It's because we're made for each other."
"You could catch his bad breath if he kisses you."
"If it means I can get a kiss from Sonic, then so be it."
Sonic stuttered. "If-if-if-if I kiss, Amy?! She's been trying to kiss me!"
The doctor raised a brow. "What's the difference?"
Sonic growled annoyingly and pulled hard on his quills.
Sonic frowned, Eh, yeah, I think I'll pass."
"Well it looks like I've finally found Sonic the Hedgehog's weakness. He's scared of tomato sauce!" Eggman taunted, and everyone burst into laughter.
"Nice taunt, Egghead."
"That wasn't a taunt. It was an insult."
"Oh yeah? To who?"
"Both of us."
Sonic frowned, snatching a can of tomato sauce from Eggman and sipped. "Oh no, my worst fears have come true."
"What's wrong?" Tails asked.
Sonic smiled. "It's delicious! It's like my taste buds are swimming in a sea of mouthwatering tomatoey goodness!"
Sonic couldn't believe his eyes. He just watched his own twin sip a can of tomatoes from Eggman. And he liked it!
"If I ever get that excited about Eggman's food. . .just put me out of my misery."
"No problem."
"Thanks, Knux. I appreciate it."
"The spices are all organic and lair grown." Eggman told Sonic.
Tails frowned. "I'd better buy a few cans and run a few tests, just to be safe."
Milla smiled proudly. "Good work, Tails!"
Lilac joined her. "I'm he's not really taking on Eggman's plan."
"What is his plan exactly?" Carol asked.
"No idea."
Sonic shrugged. "Does it really matter? I mean, his plans always fail."
"You don't need to tell everyone, rodent."
The scene shows Sonic peddling on one of Tails' machine.
"Its been hours since I ate the sauce and I'm feeling totally fine. Find anything else?" Sonic asked.
"I've tested for acidity, radioactive, arsenic, old lace, and mind-control serum; it comes up clean every time." Tails looked a little perplexed.
"So it's in the clear?" Vector asked.
Espio shook his head. "Doubt it. There's no way, Eggman would make tomato sauce just so he could have a cookout."
Charmy perked up. "I would love a cookout."
Espio ignored the bee and continued. "There has to be something else."
"What about brainitis? Do you check for that?" Knuckles asked.
". . .Except for that."
"For the last time, Knuckles, there's no such thing as "brainitis." Tails frowned at him.
"Even, Tails is annoyed by my twin's stupidity. That's why he's my favorite character." Knuckles stated.
"Then how do you explain?!" Knuckles yelped.
The scene changes to Sonic running for sometime until he sees something that made him stop. He frowns as he sees a poster with Eggman on it, surrounded by four tomatoes with smiling faces.
"Oh barf." Amy taunted.
"I'm not even surprised anymore." Knuckles grumbled.
Sonic was about to take off when suddenly, a little hippo boy came running towards him.
"Hey! Hey mister, you're my hero! Can I have your autograph?" The hippo boy asked.
Sonic smiled. "Sure, kid, anything for-"
His mouth dropped open when the little hippo boy ran past him, holding out a tomato sauce can out to Eggman.
Tails' eyes widened. "You've got to be kidding!"
Knuckles agreed with the kit. "I know I said I wasn't surprised anymore, but this is straight up ridiculous."
Eggman smiled, taking the can. "Sure, kid, anything for a fan."
Eggman groaned in annoyance. "I am no one's hero."
Stratford smiled at Eggman. "When I grow up, I wanna be just like you!"
"Has that kid lost his mind?!" Silver questioned.
Blaze groaned. "He's asking for a deathwish."
Eggman smiled down at him, signing the tomato can. "Woah-ho, don't set the bar too high; not everybody is cut out for the big time." He returned the can to Stratford. "Just look at that Sonic the Hedgehog guy; whatever happened to him? Is he still a thing?"
"Well screw you too, Eggbreath!"
"Sonic! Language!"
"S-Sorry, Ames!"
Sonic frowned and pressed his communicator. "Hey, Tails, get this-"
However, his communicator sparked and stopped working.
Lilac raised a brow. "That's new."
"What happened to his communicator?" Carol asked.
"Maybe it malfunctioned." Milla guessed
"Oh, come on!" Sonic hissed. "Seriously?! Nothing's going right today."
At Tails' workshop, Sonic got in a line behind Knuckles. "What's going on? I need Tails to fix my communicator."
"Hey, get in line dude; first he needs to fix my headphones." Knuckles said.
"And my Ancient Artifact Analyzer." Amy added.
"And my magic light tube." Sticks said, holding a flashlight.
Tails walked out from behind his plan, a worried look on his face. "Sorry, guys; I'm having problems of my own. My plane's been acting funny lately, I've been working on her all night."
Torque hummed in thought. "First Sonic's communicator, then Knuckles' headphones, Amy's Ancient Artifact Analyzer, Sticks' magic light tube- i mean, her flashlight, and now Tails' plane."
"What's Eggman's plan?" Cory asked.
"I don't know. But whatever it is it's not something we haven't fought with on a daily bases." Vector said.
Tails snapped his fingers in realization. "I got it!"
"You got what, Tails?" Milla asked, curious.
"It's the tomatoes!"
"What about the tomatoes??" Knuckles asked, not figuring it out.
Espio seemed to have understood what Tails was saying. "I think you're on to something Tails."
"On to what? What are you guys talking about?" Sonic asked, confused.
"It's the tomato cans, you guys! That's what's Eggman is planning!"
"What?! How?!"
"Eggman is using the tomatoes as robots to sabotage our mechs, and use them against us!" The kit explained.
Sonic was baffled. "What?! That's his plan?! What a waste!"
Shadow scoffed. "No wonder it's called "Dr. Eggman's Tomato Sauce." How ridiculous."
"For a moment, I actually thought that Eggman was gonna make a cookout or something." Knuckles said.
"Hmph. If that's his plan, I'm not impressed." Spade stated.
Eggman had to let go of his pride, for he too though the plan was idiotic.
"Maybe you just need a break," Amy smiled, picking up a can of tomato sauce. "Let's eat lunch, and then you can get back to your repair."
Sonic grabbed the can from Amy's hand and set it on the counter. "Urgh, can we go to Meh Burger instead? I'm sick of that stuff."
"Meh." Everyone muttered as they left Tails' workshop.
As they leave, the can starts to move. Four legs and two pincers come out, and then it crawls over to a tool on the table, and it begins doing something, with sparks flying.
Amy gasped. "Tails was right! Look!"
Sonic laughed. "Good job, little bro!"
Milla joined the scene, smiling at Tails. "You really are smart, Tails. It's so amazing."
A blush formed on the kit's face as he laughed sheepishly. "Hehe, it was nothing."
Sonic grinned at Eggman. "You're so predictable, Eggy."
"Shut it you pin cushion."
"Hey, no need to be mad at the truth."
At Meh Burger, everyone was enjoying their meal.
Sonic hummed as he bit into his burger. "Hmm! How do they do it?"
"It's because you have to taste buds. That's how they do it."
"Dang, Knux. That's kinda harsh."
"Hey, no need to be m,ad at the truth, Sonic."
"Don't steal my lines, rodent."
"Whatever, Egghead."
Dave walked up. "The secret ingredient is Meh-onnaise."
"Uhh, does he mean, 'mayonnaise'?" Carol asked.
Cory shook her head, "Nope he means 'Meh-onnaise."
The TV turned on, and Dave frowned. "What the..."
It turned out to be another Comedy Chip show.
"Welcome back to a very special edition of the Comedy Chimp Show, live from Dr. Eggman's evil lair." Comedy Chimp announced.
Neera facepalmed. "Not this joker again."
"Thanks for having me, CC." Eggman said.
"Urgh, you've got to be kidding!" Sonic grumbled.
"So Dr. Eggman, you were a successful... super villain. Why the switch to a celebrity chef?"
"Well, Comedy Chimp, honestly I needed a change. Besting Sonic week in and week out had become tedious. It was time for a real challenge."
Sonic scoffed. "A real challenge? As if. You never best me at anything."
"Okay, that's enough." Sonic grumbled, as he tried to turn off the TV.
"And what's the deal with his haircut? I feel like I'm getting attacked by a blue pineapple." Eggman continued.
"Ohhhhhh, Burn!" Charmy laughed.
"Quiet, Charmy." Vector told the bee.
"Burn!" Knuckles laughed. "You know. 'Cause your head has those pointy thinks on it."
"See? Even, Knuckles gets-"
"Quiet, Charmy."
Sonic rolled his eyes. "Those are my quills, you dunderhead."
"Now I'm told you have a special announcement for our viewers at home." Comedy Chip continued.
"That's right, CC." Eggman smirked. "You see, in just a few short weeks, I've gotten cans of Eggman's tomato sauce into every home and business in town. But Sonic and his friends assumed I poisoned the tomato sauce. Can you believe that?"
"I would, if you actually poised them to begin with instead of just wasting time sabotaging their equipment!" Eggman retorted.
"That's just... bananas!" Comedy Chimp said.
"No, it's ridiculous!"
"I know right? My sauce was never tainted. It was the cans they should've been looking out for."
"Yeah..." Comedy laughed, until he realized what Eggman said. "Wait, what."
"While you people had your backs turned, my cans have taken control of all your electrical devices!" Eggman laughs evilly.
Shadow rolled his eyes. "And there goes the Tails' theory."
A second later, cans of tomato sauce started running amock, attacking the villagers. One tomato sauce robot started firing cash register coins at Dave.
"Watch it!" Dave cried, trying to fend off the coins. "I bruise like a delicate peach."
"You should bruise painfully."
"Spade-"
"I already know what you're about to say, Lilac, so save your breath."
Sticks gave a yell, landing on the Meh Burger's counter and destroyed the cash register.
Eggman chuckles. He then sees Comedy Chimp trying to run away, only to be stopped by a wall of cans.
Sonic and his friends made it to the village square. Sticks growled as she got into a fighting stance. "They all laughed when I said our appliances would turn against us. But who's laughing now."
"You?" Sonic asked.
"Why would I be laughing?" Sticks frowned at him. "This isn't funny. You got a sick sense of humor."
"And you got a sick sense of brain."
"Knuckles, that doesn't even make any-"
"Quiet, Amy, and let me have this."
"let's do this." Knuckles smirked, and soon Team Sonic started fighting. It didn't take them long to depose the cans.
"Well that was... easy." Lilac said.
Carol shrugged. "I guess?"
"It that it?" Milla asked.
"Theo? Lucy?" Gong looked at them.
"Only four minutes left."
"Darn it."
Tails eyes wide as he stepped back in shock. "No! It can't be."
Tails plane is flying. By itself.
"Run!" Tails screamed, and everyone ran in wild directions.
"Tails, we gotta destroy that plane!" Sonic yelled.
Tails widened his eyes in horror. "What?! No!"
Amy frowned at Sonic. "Sonic, you can't do that to Tails' plane!"
Sonic held his hands up. "Woah, I would never do that! Heck it was my plane to begin with before I gave it to him!"
Knuckles raised a brow. "I didn't know that plane was yours."
"You didn't asked."
"Eh, fair point."
"No, We can't! Let me talk to her! I know I can reach her!" Tails hopped onto the tallest mountain and waved his arms at his plane. "Plane! It's me, Tails. Remember all the good times we've had together?"
A montage plays, showing Tails and his plane.
Back at the present, Tails noticed that Sonic is sniffing, wiping a tear from his eye, which the latter noticed him staring. "What?"
Amy clasped her hands to her heart. "Oh how touching."
Knuckles crossed his arms. "Oh how cheesy."
Rouge giggled. "Oh come now, Knuckie, you know you liked it too."
"No I didn't! Leave alone!"
"You guys guys and stop Eggman without me! I'm gonna stay back and save my plane!" Tails said.
"Good luck." Sonic said, as he and the others ran off towards Eggman's lair.
At Eggman's lair, Comedy Chimp was tied to a chair while Eggman continued his talk show. Eggman snickered. "So the doctor tells me it wasn't an infection at all! I just sat on a raisin!"
Espio raised a brow. "Was that suppose to be funny."
Vector shook his head. "If it was, I'm not laughing.'
"Yeah, even I'm not laughed." Charmy said.
Comedy Chimp forced out a laugh. "Good one!" He turned to the passing sauce can and whispered, "If you get me out of here, I'll set you up with a nice box of rigatoni."
Right at that moment, Sonic, Knuckles and Sticks arrived. Eggman gulped. "Th-this is a closed set, you know!" He turned to Comedy Chimp. "Really, sorry for the lack of professionalism around her."
"Show's over, Eggface!" Sonic growled.
"So, you think the show's over, huh? Well, I beg to differ!" Eggman scowled, pressing a button on his remote. The can of tomatoes stack themselves into a gigantic robot.
"Oh now I get it." Sonic muttered.
The scene shows Tails running towards his plane. "I'm right here, come and get me!"
The plane swoops down towards Tails, apparently hitting him. When it returns to the sky it is revealed the Tails grabbed onto it's right wing and is currently hanging on tightly. The plane tries to shake him off with some barrel rolls, but Tails manages to land on top of the plane, right next to the cockpit.
Sonic was impressed. "Hey, nice one, Tails."
The kit smiled. "Thanks, Sonic."
The scrapheap Bot hurls one of the lights for Comedy Chimp's show at Sonic and Knuckles, who barely manage to dodge it. The robot then picks up a couch from the show and launches two cans at them. Knuckles grabs one, jumps over the couch which the robot threw, opens the can, and drinks all the tomato sauce it contains."
Sticks glares at Knuckles. "Can you please not do that?"
"For once I agree with her." Knuckles said
"You should try it." Knuckles smiled. "Lair-grown spices really make a difference!"
Amy charges towards the Scrapheap Bot, holding her hammer. She swings it at the robot's foot, damaging it. Sonic then attacks the robot's right arm, knocking it off.
"Not bad for a blue pineapple." Sonic smirked at Eggman.
Back with Tails, he's in the cockpit of his plane, which is still flying by itself, trying to connect two wires. The plane starts heading towards a cliff face. Amy gasped. "He's gonna crash!" Milla covered her eyes and looked away. "I can't watch!"
"Pull up, Tails!" Sonic shouted. Tails widened his eyes. "What are you doing?! Pull up! PULL UP!" Tails finally manages to connect the two wires. "Got it!" Amy smiled. "He did it!" "Good job, Tails!" Milla complimented. Sonic punched the kit's shoulder. "I knew you could do it buddy." "Thanks guys." "Wow, he's got skill." Torque said.
Tails looks forward, and realizes the plane is still heading for the cliff face. He steers it upwards, and manages to clear the cliff. "Woo-hoo, we did it! Great to have you back, old friend! Now let's go cancel Eggman's show!" Back at Eggman's lair, the Scrapheap Bot gets hurled into some crates of Eggman's tomato sauce. It gets up and advances towards Knuckles and Sticks, fighting some of the can-robots. "Knuckles, give me a boost!" Sticks exclaimed. Knuckles picks up Sticks and tosses her at the Scrapheap Bot. She grabs onto the robot's head, and tears it off, knocking her and the robot over. Sonic holds out his hand to Sticks and she grabs it and pulls herself back up. The robot, however, just automatically re-assembles itself. "Oh, for the love..." Sonic groaned. "I feel ya other me."
"Face it you blue-haired blockhead," Eggman laughed. "I've got this one in the bag! Victory for Eggman!"
Eggman sighs. "Wait for it."
Eggman holds the remote control triumphantly. Tails arrives in his plane and flew towards Eggman.
"Did somebody call for backup?" Tails smiled, pressing a button on his utility belt, activating the Enerbeam. He uses it to grab Eggman's remote."
"Hey, give that back!" Eggman growled angrily at Tails.
Sonic smirked. "There he is."
Milla stared in awe. "What was that weapon that Tails just used?!"
"It's called an "Enerbeam." Lucy answered.
"An Enerbeam?" Torque said.
"It's an energy tether that can be used to pull and latch onto objects for either combat, puzzle solving, or exploration." Theo explained.
"Tails, do you have one of those?" Knuckles asked.
The kit shook his head.
Sonic slumped. "Aw man. I wished I could've used one. They look so cool!"
Tails press a button on the remote, and the Scrapheap Bot falls apart and shuts down. All the applications that attacked the villagers are also shown shutting down. Eggman growled at the heroes. "You may have won this round, but no matter. I've got a warehouse full of thousands more of these evil robotic can of sauce! Eggman laughed evilly. Suddenly, he heard wiring and noticed one of Comedy Chimp's cameras recording the whole message. Soon Eggman is in his lair, surrounded by his cans of tomato sauce. "Hm. Probably shouldn't have said all that on TV." Knuckles rolled his eyes. "Ya think? They would've given up all the cans after you've announced your 'evil scheme'." "I'm just glad that it's finally over." Eggman grumbled. With nothing else to say, Lucy pressed the button to the next episode.
