Geoffrey and Hershey: The Underwater Passageway

(Geoffrey St. John and Hershey St. John are running down in a hallway to the door)

(They make it to the door which leads them to a large room that has a circular pool, which is actually a circular metal passageway filled with water. They walk down to the circular pool and stand next to it as they look at it)

Geoffrey: Looks like we're going to have to dive down under to swim to the other side. *looks at Hershey* You think your swimming lessons are going to help you with this luv?

Hershey: Well I hope so. I'm still a little nervous about going into the water.

Geoffrey: *cuddles Hershey & smiles* There's no need to be nervous Hersh, as long as I'm by your side, you'll be just fine.

Hershey: *smiles and blushes* Oh Geoff, you're such a charming man!

Geoffrey: I know. *stops smiling and lets go of Hershey* But there's no time for more cuddling, you ready to start swimming?

Hershey: *smiling* I'm ready! Lead the way!

(They make a dramatic dive for the pool, but in this picture, no part of them touches the water, even though their hands are close to the water)

(The next scene shows them splashing under the water, and they start swimming forward in the underwater passageway with their eyes open and their cheeks puffed)

Hershey (with thinking speech bubble): *smiling* Well so far, this isn't so bad!

(They both stop swimming and both have a shocked expression, but they still have their cheeks puffed)

Hershey (with thinking speech bubble): Uh oh, looks like trouble!

(A robotic shark in front of their path comes swimming for them about to attack)

(The robotic shark heads for Geoffrey, but Geoffrey grabs on to the robotic shark by its fin as the robotic shark swings Geoffrey around)

(Geoffrey points forward to tell Hershey to swim to the end of the path and not to worry about him)

Hershey (with thinking speech bubble): *looks worried but with cheeks puffed still* Oh Geoffrey, please don't get hurt too badly.

(Hershey continues swimming forward and sees the pipe moving up, which means she found the exit)

Hershey (with thinking speech bubble): The exit must be up there, now I just have to- *sees something bad* Oh no!

(Hershey realizes that there is a metal gate blocking the top, which leads to the surface of the water)

Hershey (with thinking speech bubble): There's a metal gate blocking the exit!

(We go back to Geoffrey who is still messing around with the robotic shark. Geoffrey has his legs holding the mechanical shark, and he still is holding on to the fin with his hands)

Geoffrey: (with thinking speech bubble): *looks angry but with cheeks puffed still* Crikey! This blasted robo-shark is wild! *sees a small panel with small handle on the robotic shark's left side* Wait a minute! That must be where it's battery is!

(Geoffrey grabs and opens the panel revealing the battery and proceeds to rip the battery. He succeeds and thus the robotic shark loses all of its power, shuts down, and sinks to the bottom)

Geoffrey: (with thinking speech bubble): Now that I took care of that robo-shark, I better catch up with Hershey.

(We go back to Hershey, who is next to the gate that's blocking the exit)

Hershey (with thinking speech bubble): I don't know how much l can hold my breath, but I hope Geoffrey's ok.

(Hershey sees Geoffrey swimming below)

Hershey (with thinking speech bubble): *smiling* Thank goodness he's ok!

(Geoffrey swims to the top where Hershey is, and gets next to her)

Hershey (with thinking speech bubble): *stops smiling* What am I going to do? *Hershey smiles and thinks of an idea* Wait! I got it!

(Hershey takes out a small bomb and gives Geoffrey the signal that she's about to blow up the doors without talking because of the fact they're underwater. She then places then bomb on the gate and activates it)

(Geoffrey and Hershey swim down to get away from the bomb to be safe)

(After a few seconds, the bomb explodes. After the smoke clears up, it reveals a hole large enough for Geoffrey and Hershey to fit in. They both swim to the hole to get to the surface of the water)

(After the make it to the surface, they start gasping for air due to the fact they were underwater for some time. They both climb out of the pool with their hair, fur and clothing all wet)

Geoffrey: Well that rotten egg known as Eggman sure had us for a while. *looks at Hershey and smiles* Still, Hershey, that was nice thinking for you to blow up the gate with that bomb you had. If it weren't for your smart thinking, we would have been done for!

Hershey: *looks at Geoffrey and smiles* Aww, thanks Geoff. *stops smiling* But now, we better find the door to the next area.

Geoffrey: *stops smiling* Right. But where can that door be?

Hershey: *looks and points* There!

(They walk to the door as it has a large Eggman logo on it)

Geoffrey: Well you ready to move on luv?

Hershey: Ready when you are Geoff!
