Terror on the Typhoon/Transcript

This is the transcript of the Sonic X episode, "Terror on the Typhoon".

[Scene: Space]
 * [The Typhoon emerges from hyperspace to see a spaceship being pursued by Metarex Fighters.]

[Scene Change: The Blue Typhoon - Bridge]
 * Cream: More Metarex!
 * Cheese: Chao Chao!
 * Sonic: Somebody's in trouble!
 * [They watch the screen as the spaceship nimbly dodges the fighters.]
 * Chris: We're getting a signal. There's a Chaos Emerald somewhere on board that craft.
 * Cosmo: They're in great danger! If what Chris says is true, then those Metarex will stop at nothing to get what they want. We must help them!
 * [Tails looks up.]
 * Sonic: She's right. What do you say, Chris?
 * Chris: [Nods] OK.
 * Tails: As captain, I hereby veto that plan. We have our safety to think about.
 * [But Sonic and Chris are already gone.]
 * Sonic: Later, kids!
 * Cream: Looks like we're too late, Tails.
 * Cheese: Chao!
 * [Tails looks up in surprise before sighing.]
 * Tails: Why do they even bother having a captain anyway?

[Scene Change: Space]
 * [Chris takes off in his spaceship. Sonic rides on his wing.]
 * Sonic: We'll be on that mystery ship in no time.
 * Chris: Hope they're okay out there.
 * [They can see the other spaceship dodging lasers in a wild manner.]
 * Sonic: Man, they really got that thing surrounded!
 * Chris: Yeah. You're right. Looks pretty bad.
 * [The other spaceship's robot pilot wipes its brow. Sonic launches himself towards the Metarex Fighters, destroying most of them, before chasing the blue spaceship.]
 * Chris: Missile launch!
 * [Chris fires a rocket at the last Metarex Fighter.]
 * Sonic: Good shot!
 * [The other spaceship leaves.]

[Scene Change: The Blue Typhoon - Master Emerald chamber]
 * [Tails is trying to restore the Master Emerald's shape. Cosmo approaches with a tray containing a teapot and a cup.]
 * Cosmo: Hiya, Tails.
 * [Tails turns around.]
 * Tails: Hey, how you doing, Cosmo?
 * Cosmo: You hungry?
 * Tails: I'm sorry, but I just don't have time. This modification job's a real pain. I told Chris I'd modify the energy sequencer and reconnect it to the Master Emerald with a stronger magnetic field. But if I do that, the frequencies will get out of whack. I suppose I could bypass them by going directly through the...
 * [Cosmo looks confused.]
 * Tails: Sorry about that. I didn't mean to get all geeky on you again.
 * Cosmo: Aw, don't apologize. After all, you can't help it if you're the smartest guy around.
 * [Tails laughs.]
 * Chris: [Over radio] Tails! Come up here right away! You've gotta see this!
 * [He immediately becomes serious.]

[Scene Change: Space]
 * [The Blue Typhoon emerges from hyperspace. There is a whirlpool full of plasma energy near them. They fly towards the whirlpool.]

[Scene Change: The Blue Typhoon - Bridge]
 * Chris: Look at all that energy swirling around.
 * Tails: I don't like this. I have a feeling if we go any further, we might never come out!
 * Cream: [Scared] I'm with Tails.
 * Cheese: Chao chao...
 * [A screen appears, showing the blue ship inside the whirlpool.]
 * Cosmo: But we just can't give up on them now!
 * Tails: Okay, I'm gonna chance it. We're goin' in.
 * [The Typhoon flies forwards. Suddenly it is struck by a plasma burst, but its shields protect it.]
 * Tails: I may be able to drag it out of there. Activate Typhoon claw and nice and slow.
 * Chris: Roger!
 * [He presses two buttons, and a claw reaches for the blue spaceship. However, a claw extends from the ship and snips the claw off.]
 * Decoe: [Disguised] That was easier than I thought.
 * [Decoe removes his helmet to reveal it is himself. He flashes a V at the Typhoon crew.]
 * Decoe: Sorry to have to cut you off, kids!
 * Chris: [Voice-over] It's Decoe!
 * [Decoe flies away, back in the direction the Typhoon came from.]
 * Amy: [Hands on hips] Correction: That was Decoe.
 * Cream: Maybe he doesn't want our help after all.
 * [A whole fleet of Metarex Fighters emerges from out of the sides of the whirlpool.]
 * Tails: The Metarex! It's a trap! Hang on, everybody; I'm gonna do a fast 180!
 * [The Typhoon turns completely around.]
 * Chris: Be careful, Tails.
 * [They are surprised to see a battleship floating among the Metarex ships. The Eggman logo is visible.]
 * Sonic: Eggman! I should've known he'd join forces with them!

[Scene Change: The Metarex Mothership]
 * [Eggman slowly floats out of a lit background into the command room in his Eggmobile. Bokkun is with him, saluting.]
 * Bokkun: All hail his honorary Metarex, Dr. Eggman!
 * [The door closes behind him.]
 * Dr. Eggman: Well, Black Narcissus? What have you got to say? Don't I at least get a thank you? After all, it was I who lured Team Sonic into your galactic web.
 * Black Narcissus: Not the most difficult of achievements. You will learn, Eggman, that I am not given to displays of gratitude.
 * Dr. Eggman: Well, just so you know, they wouldn't be here if it wasn't for my finely-honed genius for deception! And there are more tricks where that came from, just so long as I'm compensated.
 * Black Narcissus: Don't worry, Doctor. You will be.

Eggman looks at his watch. It reads 6:09.
 * Dr. Eggman: It's past 1800 hours. Let's do this, boys! Launch Operation Swarm immediately!
 * Yellow Zelkova: Who does that rotund wretch think he is anyway?
 * Pale Bayleaf: Now calm down, Zelkova. Remember it was thanks to Eggman's technical know-how that we were able to plan this operation in the first place. In addition, the master has ordered us to go along with anything the doctor says.
 * Yellow Zelkova: You can't be serious! He's nothing but a fool!
 * [The Eggmobile is zipping around the room.]
 * Eggman and Bokkun: We're gonna conquer Sonic! We're gonna conquer Sonic!
 * Pale Bayleaf: Attention Metarex fighter squad! The great doctor has spoken!

[Scene Change: The Crimson Egg]
 * Bocoe: You would think the doctor would show just an ounce of decorum, wouldn't you?
 * Decoe: What do you mean? He is the picture of calm.
 * Bocoe: How can you call that calm? Just look at him!
 * [They continue to watch Eggman excitedly bounce around the room.]
 * Eggman and Bokkun: Go Eggman! Go Eggman! Go! Go! Go Eggman! Yeah!
 * Decoe: I suppose you're right. He could chill out a bit.
 * Bokkun: Goooo Metarex!
 * [Decoe and Bocoe look sadly at each other. The white Chaos Emerald rests on the console.]

[Scene Change: Space]
 * [The Metarex fleet bears down upon the Blue Typhoon.]

[Scene Change: The Blue Typhoon - Bridge]
 * Sonic: They're closin' in, Tails.
 * Cream: What do we do? We can't turn around, and if we don't, we'll head straight into that black hole! Either way, we're in danger!
 * Tails: Okay, I say we forge ahead and fight as hard as we can. Typhoon Tornadoes, let's move out!
 * [Amy stands up and turns to Tails.]
 * Amy: Typhoon Tornadoes?
 * Tails: It's our new team name.
 * Amy: You couldn't think of anything better than Typhoon Tornadoes? The whole "Tornado" thing is so cliche.
 * Tails: [Frustrated] Think maybe we could argue about this later, Amy?

[Scene Change: Space]
 * [Chris flies his fighter out into battle. Sonic rides on the wing.]
 * Sonic: Let's go get 'em!
 * [Chris' spaceship flies towards the Metarex fleet.]
 * Chris: Ready to launch nitro blasters!
 * [Chris fires a new pair of shoes onto Sonic. A ball of pure energy appears on one of his shoes.]
 * Sonic: Let's kick it!
 * [He kicks the energy ball into three Metarex ships.]
 * Sonic: That's three points for three ships!
 * [Another energy ball appears.]

[Scene Change: The Metarex Mothership]
 * Dr. Eggman: Well, that's inconvenient. Now onto Plan B. Of course, I haven't exactly formulated a Plan B...
 * Pale Bayleaf: Have no fear, Doctor. You see, I have a Plan B of my own in store.
 * [His eyes glow yellow as he presses a button.]
 * Black Narcissus: As do I.
 * [He also presses a button.]
 * Yellow Zelkova: What?! ... Uh... Well, so do I!
 * [He smashes a console.]

[Scene Change: Space]
 * [All the spaceships fire at once. Amy dodges the lasers skillfully. Sonic and Chris set up the Metarex fighters to shoot down some of the other Metarex ships. Cream dodges a Metarex ship which accidentally hits another Metarex ship, whose particles crash into some of the other ships. They regroup and head back to the Typhoon. Chris realizes that the Metarex ships are actually attacking each other.]
 * Chris: They're blasting their own fighter planes, Sonic!

[Scene Change: The Metarex Mothership]
 * [Eggman and Bokkun watch the proceedings.]
 * Bokkun: Can you believe it, Doctor?
 * Dr. Eggman: And I thought I was a meanie...

[Scene Change: The Blue Typhoon - Bridge]
 * [Several lasers strike the gradually weakening shield of the Typhoon.]
 * Cosmo: The shield's not working. They're too strong for us!
 * [Knuckles appears on the screen.]
 * Knuckles: [Over video] They're firing at anything they can! I think we should retreat fast!
 * [Cream also appears on another screen.]
 * Cream: [Over video] But we can't turn back! We've come too far!
 * Knuckles: [Over video] What do you say, Tails? Do we fight?
 * [The ship continues to shake from the impacts.]
 * Tails: We'll use the Power Cannon. The best thing to do is to aim directly at the mothership.

[Scene Change: Space]
 * [The Sonic Power Cannon is activated as Chris flies towards it.]
 * Chris: Okay, Tails!

[Scene Change: The Blue Typhoon - Bridge]
 * Tails: Ready, Cream? Let's give 'em all we got!
 * [The targeting computers lock on to the Metarex Mothership.]
 * Tails: Target lock... on!

[Scene Change: Space]
 * Tails: Okay, Sonic, get ready!
 * [He starts his spin as the lasers continue to pummel the Typhoon.]

[Scene Change: The Blue Typhoon - Bridge]
 * Tails: Prepare Power Cannon! Okay, fire!

[Scene Change: Space]
 * [The Sonic Cannon charges energy and fires Sonic at the Metarex Mothership.]

[Scene Change: The Metarex Mothership]
 * Dr. Eggman: Let's have some fun. Star shield up!
 * [He presses a button.]

[Scene Change: Space]
 * [Seven spaceship fly out of the sides of the tunnel and connect energy beams to form an energy net. Sonic flies directly into it.]
 * Chris: Sonic!

[Scene Change: The Blue Typhoon - Engine room]
 * [The energy from the net is channelled into the Master Emerald.]
 * Knuckles: Hang on!
 * [He tries to touch the controls, but is electrocuted. The console explodes.]

[Scene Change: The Blue Typhoon - Bridge]
 * Tails: Oh no! Sonic got zapped out there! ... What have I done...?

[Scene Change: The Blue Typhoon - Infirmary]
 * [Amy is tending to the injured Sonic and Knuckles.]

[Scene Change: The Blue Typhoon - Bridge]
 * Chris: That blast sure did do some damage to the main engine, but I think we'll be okay just as long as we can keep it under a certain speed. We have to conserve whatever energy we've got until we can recharge that Master Emerald, okay, Tails!
 * [''He sees Tails on his hands and knees, in a state of shock.
 * Chris: Tails?
 * [''He snaps to attention.
 * Chris: You doin' okay?
 * Tails: Uh, yeah. I'm okay, Chris.

[Scene Change: The Metarex Mothership]
 * [The three generals watch the Typhoon approaching the energy net.]
 * Black Narcissus: That floating playground of theirs is still chugging along. Quite impressive.
 * Pale Bayleaf: Perhaps, but not for long. The star shield will deactivate within five minutes. We will then launch a full-scale attack against them.

[Scene Change: Space]
 * [All cannons lock on to the Blue Typhoon.]

[Scene Change: The Blue Typhoon - Bridge]
 * ["DANGER" appears on Cream's screen.]
 * Cream: Oh no! We're getting a danger signal! What now?
 * Chris: I'm not so sure the Typhoon can make it through another attack, Tails!
 * [Everyone looks at each other worriedly.]
 * Tails: [Upset] I... I'm not worthy to be captain! I'm just not!
 * [In a fit of anger and frustration, he flees the bridge.]
 * Cosmo: Tails, come back!

[Scene Change: The Crimson Egg]
 * [Eggman and Bokkun return to the Crimson Egg.]
 * Dr. Eggman: I'm back~!
 * Bocoe and Decoe: Doctor! Thank goodness you are okay!
 * Decoe: We were beginning to worry that something had happened.
 * Bocoe: After all, those Metarex guys are pretty tough cookies.
 * Bokkun: Well, they may be tough, but they got nothing on the big boss man!
 * Dr. Eggman: Oh, stifle that idiotic chattering, will you?!
 * [He looks up.]
 * Dr. Eggman: This is serious...

[Scene Change: The Blue Typhoon]
 * [Cosmo finally catches up to Tails.]
 * Cosmo: Tails, please wait!
 * [He stops. There is a pause.]
 * Tails: ...How could I do something so stupid?
 * Cosmo: Tails, you can't blame yourself for what happened.
 * Tails: It's because of me. Sonic and Knuckles are hurt. Face it; I don't have the right to call myself captain of anything!
 * Cosmo: How can you say that, Tails? Nobody but you could be captain and you know it.
 * Tails: I'm just a big failure.
 * [She walks in front of the crestfallen Tails.]
 * Cosmo: Not in my eyes, you're not. Just think of the hundreds of times you've helped your friends when they were in trouble. I've never known anyone as brave as you.
 * [Tails looks up.]
 * Tails: Really?
 * Cosmo: Just think of all the times you've saved your friends from danger. I'm proud to be under the command of such a noble captain.
 * [Tails' expression brightens.]
 * Tails: Hey, thanks!

[Scene Change: The Blue Typhoon - Bridge]
 * [Eggman appears on the viewscreen.]
 * Dr. Eggman: [Over video] Howdy, kid. You and your pals getting ready for the big bad showdown?
 * Chris: We're ready for anything you and those Metarex dish out. Just try us!
 * Dr. Eggman: ...Who'd have thought such big talk could come from such a small fry? Where's our boy Sonic by the way? Nursing an aching knock, I presume? Well, while nurse Amy is bandaging that blockhead of his, here's a little bit of news for you. You have five minutes 'til that Typhoon's toast! Now if I were in your place, kid, I'd say farewell to my little friends... cause this is gonna be a blast!
 * [He laughs heartily as the message ends.]
 * Cream: Now what do we do?
 * [Now Chris is depressed.]
 * Chris: I don't know...
 * Tails: [Off-screen] It's okay, gang. I got it under control!
 * [He looks up to see Tails and Cosmo re-entering the bridge.]
 * Tails: We've got five minutes left, and that's five minutes to win!
 * Chris: Tails! You're back!
 * Tails: Now let's take a look at this data and see how we can beat 'em.
 * Cream: That sounds great, Tails!
 * Cheese: Chao chao chao chao!
 * [They reanalyze the data. 3:20 remains on the clock.]
 * Tails: If we can somehow reverse the direction of the spin, then it's possible to create a new magnetic field, one that's a direct opposite of the first one.
 * Cream: But what if we get sucked inside of there?
 * Chris: May be tough, but it's the only chance we've got. We'll just have to give every ounce of energy we possibly can.
 * Tails: There's just one problem we haven't thought about. In order to reverse the magnetic field, we have to use Ring Tunnel. With Sonic knocked out, there's just no way!
 * Sonic: [Off-screen] Who you calling "knocked out"?
 * [They turn to see Sonic standing there. Amy is helping him stand.]
 * Sonic: I'm not exactly down for the count yet, Tails. When my captain needs me, nothin' is gonna stop me from givin' it all I got!
 * Tails: Ha! Then let's do it, you guys!

[Scene Change: Space]
 * [The Tornado turns away from the wall. Chris' ship takes off once again, with Sonic riding the wing.]

[Scene Change: The Crimson Egg]
 * Decoe: Sonic is plotting something.
 * Bocoe: I'll give them this: they sure don't give up easily.

[Scene Change: The Metarex Mothership]
 * [Pale Bayleaf looks on with interest.]

[Scene Change: The Blue Typhoon - Bridge]
 * Cream: I checked the Master Emerald, Tails. It's stable!
 * Tails: Great! Keep your eye on it. Emerald stabilized! Chris, we're ready when you are. Go ahead and activate Ring Tunnel!

[Scene Change: Space]
 * Chris: Aye-aye! ... Ring Tunnel!
 * [Chris fires a tunnel of energy at the energy wall. Sonic uses his jet shoes to spiral through the tunnel.]

[Scene Change: The Crimson Egg]
 * Decoe: Star-shield deactivating in five... four... three... two... one...

[Scene Change: Space]
 * [Sonic is launched into the opposing wall of energy as the first energy wall fades away, revealing the Metarex fleet. Suddenly the other wall of energy unleashes a powerful wave of energy at the Metarex ships.]

[Scene Change: The Blue Typhoon - Bridge]
 * Amy: ...Nothing's happening, Tails!
 * Cream: Now I'm scared...
 * Cheese: Chao...
 * [Tails shows concern, then closes his eyes.]
 * Tails: [To himself] This is gonna work... After all, I'm a captain.
 * [Sonic is electrocuted by the wall of energy before he is ejected out.]
 * Chris: Sonic, no!
 * [Chris flies out to retrieve the unconscious Sonic. He opens his cockpit, ready to catch the hedgehog.]
 * Chris: Sonic, I'm here!

[Scene Change: The Metarex Mothership]
 * Pale Bayleaf: What are you waiting for, you imbeciles? The enemy has broken through! Fire! Fire!

[Scene Change: Space]
 * [All Metarex ships open fire on the Blue Typhoon.]

[Scene Change: The Blue Typhoon - Bridge]
 * Cream: The fire bombs are heading right toward us! Thousands of them!
 * [The missiles bear down on the ship.]
 * Cream: Less than thirty seconds 'til they hit!
 * [Cosmo looks depressed.]
 * Amy: [Despaired] Tails, what now?
 * [Tails does not respond for a little while.]
 * Tails: [To himself] A good captain always believes in himself. They're counting on you, Tails!
 * [Then his eyes snap open with determination.]
 * Tails: [To himself] Stick it, Tails. Concentrate.

[Scene Change: The Metarex Mothership]
 * [The Metarex generals wonder what Tails and his crew will do now.]

[Scene Change: Space]
 * [Chris and Sonic land back on the ship.]

[Scene Change: The Blue Typhoon - Bridge]
 * Tails: Okay, let's bring her in slow and steady, gang! Now hang on real tight!
 * [The sparking plasma energy in the tunnel affects the Master Emerald.]
 * Amy: We're losing engine power, Tails!
 * Tails: It's the Master Emerald!

[Scene Change: The Blue Typhoon]
 * [As the alarms go off, Knuckles hobbles towards the engine room. He has dropped his crutch.]
 * Knuckles: I... gotta get... to the Master Emerald!

[Scene Change: The Blue Typhoon - Bridge]
 * Tails: Let this work PLEASE!
 * [The missiles are dangerously close to the ship now. Amy screams as the energy wall fires a massive burst of energy.]

[Scene Change: The Blue Typhoon - Master Emerald chamber]
 * [Knuckles finally reaches the Master Emerald.]
 * Knuckles: The seven Chaos Emeralds are the servers... Chaos is the power... Chaos is the power enriched by the heart!

[Scene Change: The Blue Typhoon - Bridge]
 * [Power is restored to the Typhoon.]

[Scene Change: Space]
 * [With full power, the Typhoon flies into the energy field. It is quickly enveloped by the raw power of the field, which projects it energy towards the Metarex ships.]

[Scene Change: The Metarex Mothership]
 * Pale Bayleaf: How can this happen?! Unacceptable!

[Scene Change: The Crimson Egg]
 * Dr. Eggman: Let's vamoose behind the mothership! That baby's about to blow!

[Scene Change: Space]
 * [The energy wave destroys all the Metarex ships except for the Metarex Mothership and the Crimson Egg. The energy field and the vortex vanish, and the Typhoon now flies into open space.]

[Scene Change: The Blue Typhoon - Bridge]
 * Tails: We did iiiit!
 * [Everyone smiles broadly.]

[Scene Change: The Blue Typhoon - Master Emerald chamber]
 * [Knuckles is unconscious.]

[Scene Change: The Blue Typhoon - Infirmary]
 * [Sonic and Knuckles are back in the infirmary. Tails is with them.]
 * Tails: I just... wanted to tell you guys how sorry I am.
 * Knuckles: Sorry? If it weren't for you, none of us would be here. Thanks, buddy.
 * Sonic: Yeah, thanks, pal! I mean "captain"!
 * Tails: Thanks, you guys. You're the best!
 * [The Blue Typhoon cruises onwards. The episode ends and the credits roll.]
