 * [Last time on Sonic X, Dr. Eggman sent a strange new robot named Lucky to search for the last Chaos Emerald.]
 * Narrator: Meanwhile, Knuckles decided that the only way to get back home was to convince the others to join up with Dr. Eggman, get all seven Emeralds together, and create Chaos Control.
 * [Knuckles shakes hands with Eggman.]
 * Narrator: Eggman pretended to agree in the plan and fooled Knuckles and Chris into handing over all of their Chaos Emeralds, and then escaped with Chris held hostage!
 * [Sonic pursues the Egg Fort II.]
 * Narrator: Can Sonic make it in time to get back the Chaos Emeralds and save his friend? Stay tuned!

[The opening theme plays]

[Scene: Station Square]
 * [Danny, Frances, and Helen are playing outside. Helen has a puppet of Next.]
 * Helen: [Imitating Next's voice] Good morning, children! Come on; it's time to play!
 * Frances: [Imitating Cream's voice] Look, everybody! It's my favorite TV star!
 * [They laugh - until they see the Egg Fort II fly directly overhead.]
 * All: (It's him!) (Dr. Eggman!) (He's back again!)
 * [The Egg Fort II flies into the city and out of sight.]
 * Danny: What's he up to?
 * Helen: Whatever it is, it's not good!
 * [Sonic runs past them, causing their clothing to blow about. Danny opens his eyes and sees Helen's blowing skirt, which causes her to look at Danny in scorn.]
 * Frances: That was Sonic!
 * [Sonic runs into the city.]

[Scene Change: The Egg Fort II]
 * [On the radar, Sonic is running ever closer.]
 * Decoe: Dr. Eggman! Sonic is following us!
 * Chris: Sonic, hurry!
 * Bocoe: He's gaining on us. We have to do something!
 * Dr. Eggman: Who cares about him? Especially when the seventh Chaos Emerald is waiting for me!

[Scene Change: Landfill]
 * [E-77 Lucky is waiting at the landfill with the seventh Chaos Emerald.]

[Scene Change: The White House]
 * [The President and his aides are meeting in the Oval Office. Jerome Wise has been replaced with Christina Cooper.]
 * P.T.A.: Eggman's ship is making its way toward Station Square, sir.
 * President: What measures are being taken? A total evacuation?
 * Christina Cooper: Yes, Mr. President. While we're not sure where Eggman's headed, we have begun an evacuation of the entire southern region. Everything is under control.
 * President: I've been dreading something like this, but now that the time has come, I just hope we're ready for him.
 * [One of the aides has just gotten off the phone with Area 99.]
 * Aide: Thank you... Mr. President, sir, we've just received word from the field. The Beetles are being put into place.
 * President: Well... It won't be long now. We'll all have to wait and see. There's nothing more any of us can do. Nothing but hope for the best and prepare for the worst.

[Scene Change: X-Tornado]
 * [Tails, Chuck, Amy, Cream, and Cheese are packed into the X-Tornado. Chuck is listening to a GUN scanner.]
 * Chuck: Just keep her steady. He can't be far. Just give her a bit more and let's go get him, Tails!
 * [Tails steers the X-Tornado in that direction.]

[Scene Change: A G.U.N. helicopter]
 * [A fleet of G.U.N. helicopters are also on the move. Rouge is examining a piece of jewelry.]
 * Rouge: Topaz, it's gorgeous.
 * Topaz: It's... okay.
 * Rouge: I... I just don't kknow what to say.
 * Topaz: If you don't like it, I-I can take it back, Rouge. I don't really know anything about jewelry, so I asked a sales clerk, and she helped me pick it out.
 * Rouge: It's dreamy.
 * Topaz: It's nice.
 * [There is a pause.]
 * Rouge: [Quietly] Thanks, Topaz.
 * [Topaz glances at Rouge.]
 * Topaz: ...You deserve it. I just wanted to thank you for your help.
 * [Rouge smirks. Unbeknownst to them, Knuckles is hitchhiking on the wheel of their helicopter.]
 * Knuckles: [To himself] I really messed up. How could I have trusted Eggman?

[Scene Change: Landfill]
 * [Lucky signals to the incoming Egg Fort II.]

[Scene Change: The Egg Fort II]
 * Dr. Eggman: Ahhh... There's my little good luck charm! I just knew he'd bring back the Chaos Emerald!
 * Bocoe: [Quietly] I am surprised he did not drop it.
 * Decoe: [Quietly] He sure is a klutz, isn't he?
 * Dr. Eggman: Hey... H-He's a bit clumsy...

[Scene Change: Landfill]
 * [A hand extends from the Egg Fort II to pick up Lucky.]
 * Dr. Eggman: I'd better grab that Emerald. Lucky... Come to Daddy...
 * [However, Sonic arrives and smashes the hand, sending Lucky flying.]
 * Sonic: Sorry, Pops, ya gotta be faster than that!

[Scene Change: The Egg Fort II]
 * Dr. Eggman: Gah! Why does that heinous hedgehog always have to ruin everything?!
 * Decoe: That is just our luck - bad!
 * [Lucky lands on a soft object.]
 * Dr. Eggman: But... But... my... my Emerald!

[Scene Change: Landfill]
 * [Sonic turns back to Eggman]
 * Sonic: Heheh, don't worry. I'll keep it safe and sound for ya!

[Scene Change: The Egg Fort II]
 * Chris: All right!
 * Dr. Eggman: Rrrgh, don't even think about it, Sonic! [Shouting] That Chaos Emerald is mine, d'ya hear me?! Mine!

[Scene Change: Landfill]
 * [But Lucky is already extending the Chaos Emerald to Sonic.]
 * Decoe: He would not dare!
 * Bocoe: We must do something, Doctor!
 * [Just as Sonic is about to take the Emerald, several robots arrive on the scene. Sonic avoids one that nearly hits him.]
 * Sonic: Too bad. You just missed me. Nice try though, Doc!

[Scene Change: The Egg Fort II]
 * Dr. Eggman: [To Decoe] Was it your idea to send those robots?
 * Decoe: I do not get ideas, Doctor.
 * [Eggman pats him on the head.]
 * Dr. Eggman: Good boy.

[Scene Change: Landfill]
 * [The G.U.N. Beetles close in.]
 * Bocoe: Where are they coming from, Doctor?

[Scene Change: A G.U.N. Beetle]
 * Beetle Pilot: Beetle 1 to Beetle 2, we're in position.
 * Beetle Co-Pilot: Hang on. Sonic's in the line of fire.
 * Beetle Pilot: [To Sonic] Sonic, this is an official government operation. Please stand aside. I repeat, stand aside. We are launching an attack.
 * Sonic: Attack?! But my friend Chris is trapped inside there!
 * Beetle Pilot: We can't waste time. Open fire!
 * [The Beetles begin firing at the Egg Fort II, doing minimal damage.]

[Scene Change: The Egg Fort II]
 * [Chris is shocked.]
 * Dr. Eggman: Those fools! How dare they attack me!

[Scene Change: Landfill]
 * [Sonic tries to stop the Beetles.]
 * Sonic: You gotta listen! My friend Chris is--
 * [But the Beetles' pilots don't listen and fire their most powerful weapons. The lasers arc toward the Egg Fort II and explode, blinding everyone. However, the Egg Fort II is still intact.]

[Scene Change: The Egg Fort II]
 * Dr. Eggman: My, my. That was a close one.
 * Bocoe: It is a good thing we put the Egg Shield up in time.
 * Decoe: Next time, we may not be so lucky.
 * Dr. Eggman: Quiet! Don't you mention that traitor again, you hear?! Now let me see... How can I get my Chaos Emerald back?
 * Bocoe: Doctor, look at this!
 * Dr. Eggman: At what?
 * [Bocoe is displaying the internal schematics of one of the Beetles.]
 * Bocoe: This is the inside of their robot.
 * Decoe: It is just like yours, Doctor!
 * Dr. Eggman: How dare those underhanded hoodlums steal my ingenius robot designs to use in that revoltingly inferior hunk of junk monstrosity! I'll show that gang of sneak thieves what happens when they cross Dr. Eggman!
 * [Decoe holds two signs depicting Eggman's robots as the gun ports open.]
 * Bocoe: Please, Doctor, do not be rash. Lucky is inside there.
 * Dr. Eggman: Don't worry about him. With his dumb luck, he'll come out without a scratch.
 * Decoe: I would not count on it.
 * Dr. Eggman: Fire!

[Scene Change: Landfill]
 * [A hail of missiles is launched at the ground. Sonic dodges them by running.]
 * Sonic: Hey! Cool it, Eggman! Somebody might get hurt!

[Scene Change: The Egg Fort II]
 * Dr. Eggman: That was the idea! Launch Egg Beam Cannonball!
 * [A large energy ball is launched at the ground, causing a massive explosion that blows Lucky away.]
 * Dr. Eggman: Haha! Looks like that one did the trick!
 * Bocoe: One of these days, you are going to blow up the whole planet!
 * Dr. Eggman: It's a distinct possibility, Bocoe, but I'd rather do that than have Sonic get those Emeralds from me.
 * [Lucky beeps as it sails through the air.]
 * Decoe: That voice!
 * Bocoe: It was Lucky!
 * Dr. Eggman: Not that backward bumbling bad luck charm again!
 * [The screen changes to show that the Beetles have survived the attack.]
 * Dr. Eggman: Huh?
 * Decoe: The enemy aircraft! And not a single scratch!
 * Bocoe: The Doctor really knows how to build a good ship... unfortunately.
 * Dr. Eggman: I wonder if it's possible to be too much of a genius for your own good...
 * Decoe: I wonder what happened to...
 * [The screen changes to show that Sonic has also survived.]
 * Chris: It's Sonic!
 * Decoe: That answered my question.
 * Dr. Eggman: How could that hedgehog survive the Egg Beam Cannonball?
 * Bocoe: It looks like you missed.
 * Dr. Eggman: I'll have you know the Egg Beam Cannonball is engineered to hit the bulls-eye every time.
 * Decoe: But Sonic is a hedgehog, not a bull.
 * Dr. Eggman: I'll try to forget you said that...
 * [They become aware of Lucky's beeping.]
 * Dr. Eggman: There's no time to waste. We have to retrieve our boy Lucky and get back that seventh Chaos Emerald before Sonic does!
 * Decoe and Bocoe: [Salute] Yes, Doctor!

[Scene Change: Landfill]
 * [The Egg Fort II begins to leave.]
 * Sonic: [To himself] Uh oh. Eggman's on a mission to get that Chaos Emerald. Not if I can help it!

[Scene Change: A G.U.N. Beetle]
 * Beetle Pilot: It looks like Eggman's ship is on the move again.
 * Beetle Co-Pilot: We got him covered.
 * [They pursue the Egg Fort II.]
 * Beetle Pilot: All right, gentlemen, it is now takeoff time.
 * [The Beetles convert to hover mode and fly after the Egg Fort II.]

[Scene Change: The Egg Fort II]
 * [Lucky is still flying through the air.]
 * Dr. Eggman: Oh dear. I didn't know Lucky could fly so high.
 * Bocoe: How will we ever catch him?
 * Decoe: What if he drops the Emerald, Doctor?
 * Chris: That Emerald doesn't belong to you anyway!
 * Decoe: Speak only when spoken to!
 * [Sonic is racing after the Egg Fort II.]

[Scene Change: Outside]
 * [The Beetles appear next to Sonic.]
 * Sonic: Now's my chance!
 * [He begins leaping from Beetle to Beetle.]

[Scene Change: The Egg Fort II]
 * [Chris is struggling against Decoe, who begins slapping him.]
 * Chris: (Hey!) (Let me go!)
 * Bocoe: Wow, that was quite a leap!

[Scene Change: Outside]
 * [Sonic takes a huge leap into the air.]

[Scene Change: The Egg Fort II]
 * Dr. Eggman, Bocoe and Decoe: Ooh...
 * Chris: Sonic!
 * Decoe: We are in trouble!
 * Dr. Eggman: Whaah! What if he gets that Chaos Emerald away from Lucky?!
 * Bocoe: Oh! That would be very unlucky!

[Scene Change: Outside]
 * [Sonic catches Lucky.]
 * Sonic: Gotcha! Just relax. I'm your friend, little guy. I'm not gonna hurt ya. But that Chaos Emerald you found is really important to me and my friends, so I'm gonna take it off your hands.
 * [Instead of falling, Lucky is flying, and Sonic is holding on.]
 * Dr. Eggman: What's he doing? Why isn't he flying away?
 * Sonic: Hey, this is kinda fun! All right!

[Scene Change: The Egg Fort II]
 * Bocoe: There goes your lucky robot, Doctor.
 * Decoe: He may be lucky, but he's not very loyal.
 * Dr. Eggman: Be quiet! He dares to betray me, does he? I'll show that traitorous tin can not to mess with me!
 * Bocoe: Doctor, are you thinking what I think you are thinking?
 * Decoe: I think that is what he is thinking.
 * [Eggman's eye twinkles.]
 * Dr. Eggman: Good thinking. For the first time, I, the great Dr. Eggman, will transform the Egg Fort II into the greatest robot ever created. I was saving it for a special occasion, but why put it off any longer? After all, I'm feeling lucky! Get ready! Begin Egg Fort II transformation!
 * [The Egg Fort II proceeds to transform.]
 * Dr. Eggman: Merge mode number one! Merge mode number two! Merge mode number three!
 * [The Egg Fort II has reconfigured itself into the ultimate E-Series robot: E-99 Eggsterminator.]

[Scene Change: Outside]
 * Dr. Eggman: Hahaha! Say hello to my ultimate robot creation: the Eggsterminator!
 * [Sonic and Lucky, who are at the shore, watch as the Eggsterminator lands in the ocean.]
 * Sonic: My, my. Bet you think you're pretty impressive, don'cha? [Smirks] You may be big and strong, but I bet you don't move as fast as I do!
 * [He runs all over the Eggsterminator.]
 * Sonic: Come on, Egghead! What are you waitin' for?

[Scene Change: The Eggsterminator]
 * Dr. Eggman: Oh dear... He certainly is impatient, isn't he? But I say why rush into things?
 * [A shield containing six Chaos Emeralds rises into view.]
 * Chris: The six Chaos Emeralds!
 * Dr. Eggman: Don't worry. I'm keping them safe and sound for future use. In the meantime, I'll transfer a bit of energy from each Emerald into the Eggsterminator so it can grow stronger!
 * [The first Emerald is embedded. The Eggsterminator's targeting computers scan for Sonic. The second Emerald is embedded. The Eggsterminator locks onto Sonic. Eggman laughs.]
 * Dr. Eggman: Guess the Eggsterminator's got him on the run, eh, kid?
 * [Chris becomes scared.]
 * Chris: [To himself] He's using the Chaos Emeralds to beat Sonic and it's all my fault!
 * [Soon all six Emeralds are implemented.]
 * Chris: [Anguished] I'm sorry!

[Scene Change: Outside]
 * [Sonic leaps towards the Eggsterminator, but it fades away. It suddenly reappears behind Sonic and punches him through several buildings.]

[Scene Change: The Eggsterminator]
 * Chris: Sonic!
 * Dr. Eggman: That thing packs quite a punch.

[Scene Change: Outside]
 * [Sonic is embedded in a building.]
 * Sonic: Yeah... he's got a good right hook.

[Scene Change: The Eggsterminator]
 * Dr. Eggman: Sonic had better surrender. With six Chaos Emeralds to power him, my boy is unbeatable!
 * Chris: Please, Dr. Eggman, let Sonic go free!
 * Dr. Eggman: I'm afraid I can't do that just yet, so sorry!

[Scene Change: Outside]
 * [Using its Chaos Emerald-powered speed, the Eggsterminator slams Sonic into the ground again. The X-Tornado arrives.]
 * Tails: We're coming, Sonic!
 * Amy: Quick, Tails! Do something!
 * Tails: The X-Tornado can't do much of anything now - not without a Chaos Emerald.
 * Amy: All right! I guess I'll have to take care of that hunk of junk myself!
 * Tails: Hold on!
 * [The X-Tornado suddenlt banks to the right as the G.U.N. Beetles arrive.]
 * Beetle Pilot: Target in sight.
 * [The Beetles fires at the Eggsterminator, but the latter vanishes.]
 * Beetle Pilot: What the...?
 * [The Eggsterminator reappears and smashes the Beetles to bits.]
 * GUN Soldier: The Beetles... They've been wiped out!

[Scene Change: The Eggsterminator]
 * Bocoe: Wow. He really is powerful, isn't he?
 * Decoe: Good thing he is on our side.
 * Dr. Eggman: Even I'm impressed.
 * Sonic: [Off-screen] Eggman!

[Scene Change: Outside]
 * [Those aboard the Eggsterminator see a bruised and battered Sonic approaching them.]
 * Sonic: Listen up. I'm coming for Chris... and you better not try to stop me!
 * [He collapses to his knees.]

[Scene Change: The Eggsterminator]
 * Bocoe: How could Sonic survive a pounding like that?
 * Decoe: I don't get it. He ought to be eggsterminated by now.
 * Dr. Eggman: So he should. That hedgehog is much more resilient than I thought.
 * Sonic: [Off-screen] I'm coming, Chris!
 * Dr. Eggman: He sure is a glutton for punishment.

[Scene Change: Outside]
 * [The Eggsterminator begins glowing.]
 * Dr. Eggman: What's going on! Eggsterminator, quit wasting power, will you? We must conserve between battles!
 * [Now that the Eggsterminator has changed into a golden color, it punches Sonic into the ground.]
 * Chris: Nooo!

[Scene Change: The G.U.N. helicopter]
 * Topaz: Can't you move in a bit closer?
 * Pilot: No way. It's too dangerous.
 * Rouge: He must be using the Emeralds to power that thing.
 * [Knuckles is still hitchhiking.]
 * Knuckles: [To himself] Think, Knuckles... Think!

[Scene Change: Outside]
 * [The Eggsterminator lifts a completely battered Sonic.]

[Scene Change: The Eggsterminator]
 * Chris: Soniiic! Soniiiiic!
 * [Powered by rage, he desperately tries to escape, which causes the others to look at him.]
 * Dr. Eggman: All right, Eggsterminator, enough fooling around. Drop him already.
 * Decoe: [Sweating] Good idea.
 * [Memories of Sonic begin flooding to Chris. Chris rescuing Sonic from the pool. Sonic arriving at Tingalin Villa to save his friends from Eggman. Sonic with two Chaos Emeralds. Sonic lands in the ocean. At the sight of what very well could be the death of his hero, he lets out an anguished cry...]
 * Chris: Noooo!
 * [...and, with a combination of his sadness, anger, and adrenaline, manages to break free of the bracket.]
 * Dr. Eggman: Why you...
 * [Chris runs over and reaches for the Chaos Emeralds. He nearly burns himself on them, but he removes them from the shield.]
 * Dr. Eggman: My Emeralds!
 * [The battered Chris tumbles onto the dash, hitting the windshield. He holds the Chaos Emeralds close to him.]
 * Chris: They're mine... Mine... I won't... urgh... ugh... I won't let you take them away from me... ever again... Ever...
 * Dr. Eggman: That mealy-mouthed little crybaby shouldn't be so reckless. After all, those Emeralds are powering the Eggsterminator, and without them, this thing would be sent plummeting into the sea!
 * Decoe: [Beaming] It is interesting, Doctor.
 * [Eggman looks at the broken part of the wall where Chris was secured.]
 * Dr. Eggman: As a matter of fact, we should be plummeting any moment now.
 * Decoe: I am sorry, Doctor, but did you just say "plummeting"?
 * [Eggman grabs Decoe.]
 * Dr. Eggman: Don't just stand there!
 * Decoe: Yes, Doctor!
 * [Suddenly Knuckles breaks through the windshield.]
 * Knuckles: Where is Chris? I'm taking him with me.
 * Dr. Eggman: Well, if it isn't our good friend Knuckles. How good of you to drop in for a visit.
 * [Knuckles pounds the ground with his fist.]
 * Bocoe: Ohh...
 * Decoe: I think he's upset!
 * Knuckles: He's coming with me, and that's that.
 * [He realizes Chris is gone.]
 * Knuckles: I said, where is he? What did you do with Chris?
 * [It is revealed that Rouge is holding Chris, who is still holding the Chaos Emeralds.]
 * Rouge: Enough Emeralds for a whole necklace, maybe some matching earrings...
 * Chris: [Weakly] Sonic... Sonic... Let me... go...
 * Rouge: No way. Not after all the trouble I went through.
 * Chris: Sonic!
 * [No way. Not after all the trouble I went through. ]
 * Rouge: Oh no!
 * [Rouge then realizes her mistake.]
 * Rouge: He made me drop my Chaos Emeralds!
 * [Rouge swoops down and reacquires Chris.]
 * Rouge: Oh well, there goes my new jewelry...
 * [She is suddenly grabbed by the Eggsterminator's hand.]

[Scene Change: The Eggsterminator]
 * Dr. Eggman: The Eggsterminator is malfunctioning. It's all because of that peeping brat!
 * Decoe: That's right!
 * Knuckles: Where's Chris?

[Scene Change: Outside]
 * Rouge: Urgh... You're awfully fresh.
 * [The hand squeezes her. Soon the X-Tornado flies overhead.]
 * Tails: We're coming, Chris!
 * [Suddenly a part of the water begins glowing gold and converging onto that spot.]
 * Chuck: Look! Could it be...?
 * Cream: Amy, I think it's Sonic!
 * Cheese: Chao!
 * Amy: It might be, but where's that glow coming from?
 * [Sonic, powered by the seven Chaos Emeralds, rises from the ocean, having become Super Sonic. He completely destroys the hand holding Rouge and Chris.]

[Scene Change: The Eggsterminator]
 * Decoe: Doctor! Something is happening! The Eggsterminator is losing its grip!
 * Bocoe: This is not good. What do we do now, Doctor?
 * Dr. Eggman: We do nothing. Right at this very moment, those seven Chaos Emeralds are mingling way down in the bottom of the sea. The great moment has finally come.
 * Decoe: Are you saying what I think you are saying?
 * Bocoe: Yes, I think that is what he is saying.
 * Dr. Eggman: Let Chaos Control begin!

[Scene Change: Outside]
 * [The Eggsterminator attempts to pound Super Sonic with its remaining hand, but no damage is done.]
 * Super Sonic: Well, Knuckles, your wish came true, but I got some unfinished business. Take this, Eggman.
 * [He then proceeds to fly all through the Eggsterminator. It begins to explode, and as it does, Chaos Control begins to take place. The ever-expanding sphere of light expands outwards.]

[Scene Change: The G.U.N. helicopter]
 * Topaz: Oh no. I think we're in Chaos Control.

[Scene Change: The X-Tornado]
 * Tails: [To Chuck] It's Chaos Control, Chuck. You'll be sent back with us.
 * Chuck: Don't worry; it'll be my pleasure!

[Scene Change: Station Square]
 * Danny: Hey, look! Where's that light coming from?
 * Helen: Does this mean... they're going home?
 * Frances: Oh no...

[Scene Change: An unknown location]
 * [In a completely white area, Super Sonic lays down the unconscious Chris.]
 * Super Sonic: Can you hear me, pal?
 * [Chris slowly opens his eyes.]
 * Super Sonic: I'm finally going home, thanks to you, Chris.
 * Chris: [Struggling] Sonic, take me with you, please.
 * [A tear begins to form in his eye.]
 * Chris: I don't wanna stay here... not without you.
 * [Sonic uses Chaos energy to heal Chris' wounds. The latter sits up and hugs Sonic.]
 * Chris: Ah... Sonic!
 * Sonic: It's gonna be okay. I promise.
 * [Chris starts to cry.]
 * Chris: Sonic, please don't leave. You're the best friend I ever had! I don't want you to go away. [Sobs] I'll miss you so much. Please don't go! Please!
 * [But Sonic fades from Chris' grasp. Chris weeps bitterly.]
 * Chris: [Anguished] You can't goooo!
 * [A montage of scenes are shown, starting with a large, fog-covered land mass. Soon, Knuckles watches as Angel Island appears over the ocean. Eggman, Bocoe, and Decoe are recovering from their loss. Chris looks up in delight as he sees Sonic walking towards him from the midst. He gives a wink and thumbs-up.]
 * Sonic: Hey. Long time no see.
 * [The screen fades to black and the credits roll.]
