**Title: Speed vs Spidey** **INT. NEW YORK CITY - TIMES SQUARE - DAY** We see Times Square bustling with pedestrians, street performers, and the hum of the city. Suddenly, the tranquility is broken as SONIC THE HEDGEHOG blazes through, causing a bit of chaos, and a fruit stand to topple. SPIDER-MAN swings in, landing on a light pole, confronting Sonic. **SPIDER-MAN:** (Sarcastically) Nice job, Blue Blur. Ever heard of pedestrian right-of-way? **SONIC:** (Huffily) Hey! I'm saving the city from robots! What's your excuse, Web-head? Playing cat's cradle with your webs? **SPIDER-MAN:** (Defensive) These webs help me protect the city. And FYI, I deal with more than just robots. Ever heard of a guy named Green Goblin? Doc Ock? **SONIC:** (Dismissive) Psh. Eggman's got 'em beat in the mad scientist department. Besides, I can do everything you do--only faster! **SPIDER-MAN:** (Chuckles) Faster isn't always better, Speedy. It's about precision, agility, and--oh, yeah--responsibility. **SONIC:** (Grins) Got to go fast, man! If you're not living on the edge, you're taking up too much space! Their argument is interrupted by a scream. A GIANT ROBOT crashes into the square with Dr. Eggman inside, causing havoc. Both Sonic and Spider-Man look at each other, at a momentary truce. **SPIDER-MAN:** (Points) You get the bot, I'll secure the area. **SONIC:** (Ready to spring into action) Deal. And when we're done, we're finishing this debate! SONIC dashes off at incredible speed, circling the robot, distracting it. SPIDER-MAN swings around, using his webs to pull people to safety. **DR. EGGMAN:** (Bellowing) You won't stop me this time, Sonic, not with your little spider friend! SPIDER-MAN webs the robot's joints while SONIC speeds around it, creating a sonic boom that disorientates Eggman. The robot begins to falter as its joints lock up. **SONIC:** (Shouting) Time to end this, Spidey! Any brilliant plans from the master of "responsibility"? **SPIDER-MAN:** (Concentrating) Yeah! Keep doing what you're doing--I'll web the joints, you hit the off switch! SONIC nods, zooming up the robot dodging missiles and lasers, and kicks open a panel at its neck, then starts pulling wires. **SPIDER-MAN:** (Webbing the last joint) It's all yours, Sonic! SONIC finds the power core and yanks it out. The robot powers down, teetering before falling. SPIDER-MAN catches the robot in a web net, preventing it from crushing the buildings. **SPIDER-MAN:** (Breathing hard) Well... I guess we make a pretty good team after all. **SONIC:** (Smugly) Yeah, not bad for a rookie. But let's keep the speed limit in check, okay? Let's not give the city a heart attack. SPIDER-MAN and SONIC share a laugh, the start of an unlikely respect and friendship budding between them. **SPIDER-MAN:** (Extending his hand) Deal. By the way, want to grab a chili dog? My treat. **SONIC:** (Shaking his hand) You're on! But next time, let's race to see who gets there first! **FADE OUT.** **THE END.**
