I am not just bumping up this topic with hopeless drivel, I have a reason for reviving this half a year old topic. I haven't reviewed since episode 54, but I'm just going to skip it and go from today, episode 67.
It started off with the Blue Typhoon traveling through space, as usual ever since they got it off the ground in #54. The crew is relaxing, especially Knuckles, who is in Sonic's usual kick-back mode. Anyway, the crew contemplates a Metarex attack, and they wonder just where they are possibly being led, and if it is a setup.
A little bit later, they get a message from the Metarex base. Upon being translated by Cosmo, it states that the crew is invited to the base of the Metarex. However, Cosmo doesn't read the whole thing, and she takes off to the basement, if you could call it that, of the Blue Typhoon. She takes off in Amy's ship. Chris ends up following her to the base. The crew wonders just where the heck Cosmo has gone off to, as Tails tries to translate the message with his translator. It turns out, Cosmo had had a conversation with Dark Narcissus, or something like that. She begs him to tell her everything, as apparently he had promised to do so.
But, all he tells her is that he has lured her here to be his prisoner. after the scene I described above, we find Chris has caught up to Cosmo. Chris tries to negociate with the dark metarex lord, but he's not going to listen. In the middle of all this, Cosmo tells Chris how sorry she is for getting him involved in this. And Chris, proving he's grown up, tells her that it's okay, and also tells her that she reminds him of him as a kid. A rather touching scene, in my opinion. Whats-his-face Metarex interrupts and Chris turns around and chucks some sort of smoke bomb onto the floor. He and Cosmo try to escape, but Chris is then struck down by Dark Helmet, I mean, Dark whatever the heck is name was.
Sonic gets up in the Power Cannon that bears his name. As Amy tells him to bring back Cosmo and Chris so she can knock some sense into them, he is shot off. He crash lands into the base, and meets the sinister Metarex lord. They have some words, with Sonic asking for his friends,and with the bad guy saying that Sonic must go through some experiments for him. At Sonic's request, the tube containing Chris and Cosmo came up from the floor. Sonic looks at them, and is left shaking as the tube went back down to the basement.
Sonic is shaking as he says "I've never seen Cosmo that scared before. And Chris was passed out! What did you do to them?" Darkie explains himself, and tells Sonic that the experiments are ready for him. Sonic starts laughing in a bitter tone and says "Okay, why don't I just test them?" He trashes the bots, but is stopped by...Eggman, of all people. Eggman explains that Shadow has already rescued his friends, and that he should leave.
Eggman then explains that Darkie went too far, even he wouldn't actually try to hurt someone with his bare hands, as his robots usually do that work. Wow, Eggman's crew has a slight moral fiber to them, it seems. Even Bokkun gets in on the fun as he whacks Darkie for a loop, no I'm not kidding. But the episode ends with Eggman explaining that he came to Sonic's aid, but was not on his side. And he still could be persuaded to join the Metarex! Whoo, the best episode yet!
