This is the transcript for Ghost of a Chance.
Opening/You Really Don't Trust Him, Do You?[]
[The episode opens with the Chaos Council's mothership appears. Eggforcers and Koopas are lined up together. Dr. Babble presses keys on his keypad, along with a few other members. The camera cuts to Bowser and Mr. Dr. Eggman looking down at his 'henchmen']
Mr. Dr. Eggman: Crush everything in your path until you find the shards!
[The Eggforcers and the two ally aircrafts swarm down onto the landscape. They all walk, thumping the land as they do so. Our heroes watch over them]
Sonic: (sighs) Don't you just hate this part? The buildup? Team Prime versus unbeatable odds, with the fate of the world at stake. Like, let's just get on with it already! Hey, I'm not gonna be the one who pulls a hammy.
Shadow: What about him? [Referring to Tails Nine as the camera pans to the temple's entrance and cuts to him configuring a shard] We can't just leave him alone with prism shards.
Sonic: Uh, yes we can. Seeing as he's the only one who can put them back together, and y'know, fix reality? You really don't trust him, do you?
Shadow: No.
Tigger: I don't know. I'm starting to get worried myself.
Rabbit: I'm with them on this one, Sonic. Nine mentioned something about the Grim. What else do you think he's been doin' while we're gone?
Sonic: Perhaps he just wanted to blow off a little steam.
Pooh: A little?
Eeyore: If you ask me, not that anybody is... I don't think Nine is seeing things the way we do.
Piglet: You know, I've always like Nine. But I'm starting to distrust this one.
Sonic: Of course, you do. You don't trust anyone. You all wanna stay here and babysit? Fine. Knock yourselves out. I'm gonna go buy us some time.
[He jumps down]
Kamen Rider Gotchard: He's not gonna succeed without our help, is he?
Shadow: No.
[Then Shadow, Pooh, Piglet, Tigger, Rabbit and Eeyore jump down to help. The camera zooms out to reveal our heroes running with Sonic and Shadow]
Sonic: Well, look who couldn't resist a team-up.
Shadow: Hardly. Have you see what happens when you go it alone?
Sonic: You mean landslide victory? Someone sounds jealous!
[They all encounter the Eggforcers and Koopas]
Rabbit: Take no prisoners!
Tigger: Lemme at 'em! Lemme at 'em! [The Eggforcer then pushes him] Hey, don't get pushy! Don't get pushy!
Piglet: I think he's mad!
Tigger: Oh, a tough guy, eh? (Pushes the Eggforcer and it falls as Tigger bounced out of the way) Ha! Ya missed me!
[Shadow punches one from mid-air, while Sonic leapfrogs over him and kicks another. Shadow stomps on two more before punching another one. Sonic punches one, does a relaxed pose while hitting the next one and overhead kicks another one. Shadow takes one of the broken Eggforcers with his shoes up in the air and corrals it into another one. He then stomps another three. Sonic defeats another three before two more collide together in mid-air. They meet each other]
Mr. Dr. Eggman: [Shocked after seeing Shadow] Oh. My. EGG!
Dr. Don't: There's two of him now?! Impossible!
[Dr. Babble babbles confusedly. The camera cuts to Sonic and Shadow's footage on the monitor]
Dr. Deep: After all this dimension hopping, nothing should surprise you.
Dr. Done-It: So, what if there's two of 'em? Two means twice as easy to hit!
Bowser: Not to mention our making our task far more difficult! I'm gonna deal with this myself if you idiots continue to disappoint me.
Mr. Dr. Eggman: Boss, please. I promised we will get the shards back!
(Meanwhile at the temple)
Kamen Rider Gotchard: This battle will require some more firepower than the form I am in now. Time for a change of pace! (Gotchard takes out his Yamibat and Renkingrobo chemy cards) Gotchanko! Batkingrobo! (Transforms into Kamen Rider Gotchard Batkingrobo) There! Now, it's show time!
(Gotchard flies off to help the group and attack the Koopas. Back to Bowser and Mr. Dr. Eggman)
Bowser: (snarls) Get the energy into the bots. So, we can finish them!
Mr. Dr. Eggman: Yes, boss! [Types on his keyboard] Diverting stored shard energy to our Eggforcers. Let's see how they do when our forces are powered up!
Reality Flips[]
[Tails Nine continues to assemble the Paradox Prism, rotating a shard in different angles. It is then inserted into the prism with a flash just as Michinaga Azuma arrived]
Michinaga Azuma: Hey there, champ. How's it going?
Tails Nine: Everything's going great. I just need to place two more, then I'll bring them home for the last shard.
Michinaga Azuma: Atta boy. (crosses his fingers behind his back)
[Tails Nine crawls over to the red shard in the box, picks it up and crawls towards the Prism, constantly rotating it. Once he tries to put it inside the Prism, it shimmers, vibrates rapidly and explodes. The explosion's wave carries on outside the cave, past Sonic. The world is now transformed into Hedgehog's Pass]
Sonic: It's... home!
Ghost Hill Amy: The forest is the most beautiful...
[The explosion transforms her into regular Amy]
Amy: Ugh! What's happening?
Dr. Don't's Defeat[]
Sonic: [On Regulator] Nine? You okay?
Tails Nine: Yeah, this is a little trickier that I thought.
Sonic: What happened? Reality was flippin' out over here!
Tails Nine: Like I said, this is a challenge. You're gonna have to buy me some more time.
Sonic: No problem, buddy. [Dr. Babble furiously babbles and fires at Sonic, forcing him to retreat... and encounter more Eggforcers shooting at him. Sonic lures the weapons into the robots, destroying them, before approaching the other Yolkomotive] Now you're turn!
Dr. Deep: Gimme that! [Dr. Deep pushes Dr. Done-It off his seat] Behold the master marksman!
[He fires homing missiles at him. Sonic spin dashes and jumps up some ledges to reach a long, narrow, twisty platform. With the missiles following him, he then runs up the Helter Skelter, around the loop-de-loop and jumps onto the windshield of the other Yolkomotive, latching onto it and waving 'goodbye' to Don't, before leaving just in time for the missiles to hit the vehicle]
Dr. Don't: No!
[Dr. Don't's Yolkomotive explodes, the explosion sends Sonic flying]
Sonic: Woo!
Dr. Don't: [struggling to control it] No-o-o-o!
[The vehicle crash lands on the landscape scattering a large plume of dust. As the dust clears, it is seen on the ground surrounded by rocks. Dr. Deep winces in annoyance and embarrassment then looks at Dr. Done-It, who shakes his head]
Dr. Deep: You can have the controls back.
Sonic: Woo! [He runs, seeing Shadow at the other end defeating another Eggforcer] See, I knew Shadow would be fine. [Shadow breaks one while Sonic breaks four, grinding on the edge of the ship with a robot part] Hey, these things aren't so tough when we work together.
[Dr. Babble angrily babbles as our heroes meet, forcing them to glare at his robot]
Rabbit: (angrily howls) Are you kidding me with the baby?!
[Dr. Deep also arrives in his mech, standing next to his ally]
Tigger: (laughs) Dr. Deep sure knows how to make an entrance.
Kamen Rider Gotchard Batkingboro: He is a literal villain! A literal villain knows how to make an entrance, okay?!
Prismatic Sonic/Dr. Deep, Dr. Babble and Dr. Done-It's Defeat[]
Dr. Deep: Dr. Deep to all forces: The blue rat is heading towards the mountain!
Dr. Done-It: Not for long, he isn't!
[He moves the Yolkomotive and tries to defend from Sonic, shooting lasers as he runs up the mountain. Bowser and Mr. Dr. Eggman watch Sonic on the screen]
Bowser: Quit wasting your schemes! He's going to get in and it's STILL YOU'RE FAULT!
Mr. Dr. Eggman: We'll see about that.
[He generates a large orange laser and waits for the opportune moment. He fires it, hitting and exploding the top of it. Sonic screams as he gets uncontrollably thrown by the laser blast, tumbling down and landing flat on his face. He looks on while Tails Nine continues battling the Eggforcers. As soon as they're all defeated, Sonic comforts him]
Sonic: You okay?
Tails Nine: I'm fine.
[Walks back to the Paradox Prism and starts thinking. Sonic becomes excited and steps by him]
Sonic: You're nearly done! Nine, I saw it. [touches his shoulder] Green Hill was back! So were my friends! Can you...
Tails Nine: The Prism is only partially complete. I need you to buy me more time.
[Suddenly, the temple rumbles, causing them both to brace themselves. From outside, the enemy continue firing at the temple]
Sonic: Nine... we're losing. The Chaos Council is using Shard energy to make themselves tougher than ever. Maybe I can do the same.
Tails Nine: Uh...
Sonic: You've said it before. I'm full of shard energy. Just gimme a boost!
[The temple continues rumbling and cracking, with a rock falling loose]
Tails Nine: In theory, it's possible. [Sonic runs and looks at the gaping hole in the temple] But given the myriad configurations and the commensurate spectrum of transmutational possibilities...
Sonic: (worried) Uh. Same stuff, less words!
Tails Nine: It's dangerous. Too little energy, you lose. Too much...
Sonic: And I pop off like a firework. I get it, but this is it. It's the only option. 'Cause unless I can be more, y'know, me, we lose.
[Tails Nine nods and shows off his tails, while the enemy continue firing at the temple]
Dr. Done-It: Hurry it up! Daddy wants his shards!
[Tails Nine reconfigures all the shards with lasers while Sonic is waiting on the brink of getting hit by weaponry]
Tails Nine: Almost there. Whatever you do, just don't move.
Sonic: (angrily) Don't move?! [Tails Nine retracts the green shard from the Prism and transfers it to Sonic, while simultaneously on the other side the missiles home towards him. In slow motion, Sonic is hit by the Shard's power just before the missiles get to him. The weapons stop and the temple rumbles. Suddenly, Sonic, with a green glow, takes out some Eggforcers, leaving Tails Nine stunned. Sonic re-appears with a rainbow-colored outline, showcasing his new look] Whoa. Now this is speed! Nine you've really outdone yourself. [Sonic defeats three more Eggforcers, showing three different copies of his punch on screen] I should probably check on Shadow. [Warps to a copy on his left, impersonating Tails Nine] Great idea! [defeats two more Eggforcers, and then four more in quick succession, leaving copies of him behind as they flash off-screen] Ha-ha! Now that's how it's done! [Warps, impersonating Shadow] Meh. Not bad. [Warps, impersonating himself in an angry tone] Oh, like you could do better?
[Dr. Done-It's aircraft confronts Sonic]
Dr. Done-It: Dodge this, marmot!
[Maniacally laughing as he fires bullets at Sonic]
Sonic: Rude! [He whips up a Tornado, scooping the broken Eggforcers in the air before they get thrown at Dr. Done-It's windshield, along with the rest of the aircraft. The force causes Dr. Done-It to scream as he tries to control it, but it crashes into the ground] Ha! I knew that would work! [Warps, impersonating Shadow] No, you didn't. [Warps, impersonating himself] Did so! [Warps] Whatever. Race you to the gang? [Warps] Way ahead of you... Me... Us?!
[Sonic jumps off the temple, while Shadow and the others continue their battle with Dr. Deep, dodging his double sword attack. Dr. Deep ground pounds, but Shadow blocks it with a kick. Shadow, Pooh, Piglet, Tigger, Rabbit and Eeyore then grabbed from behind by the left arm of Dr. Babble. He laughs evilly and sets up one final laser in close range, until...]
Rabbit: Let go of us, you big ugly baby! Or else we'll...
Sonic: [Offscreen] Hey, bros! [A surprised Dr. Deep, a grimacing Shadow and a surprised Dr. Babble show up in three different screens] Sorry to keep you waiting!
[Sonic uses the shard power, attacks both enemy robots in rapid succession, high fiving its own hologram in mid-air before continuing. Sonic lifts and tosses Dr. Babble's robot out of sight]
Dr. Deep: Ugh. Don't you know it's rude to... [Gets kicked by Joey's speed boost and is thrown out] Agh!
[Sonic meets up with our heroes, who are downed and struggling to get up]
Shadow: How...
Sonic: Got a power-up to save yer butt. You're welcome.
Pooh, Piglet, Tigger, Rabbit and Eeyore: Ooooh!
Kamen Rider Gotchard: I see what you mean.
Pooh: Okay, boys. Now let's go deal with Bowser and Mr. Dr. Eggman.
Our Heroes vs. Bowser and Prismatic Titan Eggman/Bowser and Mr. Dr. Eggman's Defeat[]
Bowser: NO, NO, NO! (growls) Looks like I'll have to do this myself.
Mr. Dr. Eggman: Rest assure, Master. The game's not done yet. There's still one more guard to play. And you are going to be a huge part in this one. Involking Operation: Big Boy Pants.
[He presses a button. The cannons whir up and rotate up into the sky]
Pooh: What's going on?
Piglet: I think the mothership is aiming away from us.
Rabbit: That doesn't make any sense.
Tigger: Something tells me this is either bad or just playing dumb.
Eeyore: You said it.
Sonic: Maybe they know when they're beaten. These guys? Please. If you believe that you're dumber than you look.
Shadow: Finally, a Sonic I can agree with.
Kamen Rider Gotchard: You said it.
[The cannon lasers fire at the sky. Our heroes watch on, Bowser looks on with amazement with Mr. Dr. Eggman grinning. The lasers generate the Prismatic Titan]
Bowser: Oh (laughs) Yes!
[Bowser floats inside it]
Mr. Dr. Eggman: Behold, the pinnacle of all creations!
Pooh: (gasps)
Piglet: (gasps)
Tigger: (gasps)
Eeyore: Huh?!
Rabbit: Is that- Is that Eggman?!
Kamen Rider Gotchard: Sure looks like it.
Sonic: It's official, I've seen it all.
[The titan lands with an enormous rumble. It walks towards the temple]
Bowser: Say goodbye to your trees, beaches and especially YOUR LIVES, boys! (laughs)
Shadow: It's headed for the temple!
Pooh: We gotta stop it!
Kamen Rider Gotchard: You want a titan battle? I'll give you one! Time to go wild! (Transforms into Kamen Rider Gotchard Batkingrobo Wild) Titan vs. Titanic Rider: Who's gonna win?
Bowser: Seriously? The bearded kid? Am I the only one who remembers you?
Michinaga, Glion and Nine Leave with the Shards/A Heartbreaking Ending[]
Tails Nine: (to Sonic) And that's exactly your problem! You just jump into situations with no idea about the outcome. (to our heroes) And as for you lot! I was wrong to trust you. If I just took the shards and brought them to the Grim and my master, I would've known that you betrayed me!
Kamen Rider Gotchard: The Grim? Are you kidding me? Listen to me: I understand that you want your own world, but Green Hill has to be restored or this universe will fall apart. My universe’s Tails Nine would listen to me. He would help me which is the opposite of what you are doing. I know someone is telling you to go to the Grim and I want to know who your boss is.
Michinaga Azuma: Oh, I wouldn't say boss. I rather say brother or partner, thank you very much.
Kamen Rider Gotchard: Michinaga! I thought Levén sent you to prison! How did you get out?
Michinaga Azuma: Sweet, sweet Gotchard. I'm so happy, you asked. While I was in that rotten cell, I thought many ideas how to destroy you and your evil plans. Some of them came up to me, others not so pleasant ones I might add. Then one day, Bowser came for me, he told me he can give me a chance to stop you. But I was playin' smart and sent him and his army away from his ship and found ourselves in New Yoke. It was then I noticed a sneaky hedgehog stalking a sweet intelligent fox. And I had my sympathy for the poor kid. I had to wait for the right chance to see him face to face and here's my little secret... (whispers to Sonic and Gotchard's ears) I. Am. Using him.
Sonic: What?!
Kamen Rider Gotchard: You what?! That does it! I’m calling my fellow riders. This is getting out of hand. (Dials a number on his phone) In the next 10 minutes, you will be dealing with more than just one rider!
Michinaga Azuma: I was hoping you may say that. Which is why I also brought my dark alchemist friend, Glion with me.
Glion: You know, I suggested that we should have brought the army and you said no.
Michinaga Azuma: We don’t need an army at this moment.
(A portal opens as Tsukasa Kadoya and Sougo Tokiwa come out as Kamen Rider Decade and Kamen Rider Zi-O)
Tsukasa Kadoya: We made it!
Sougo Tokiwa: Are we late?
Michinaga Azuma: Just in time actually.
Tsukasa Kadoya: Don't do that ever again! That was not funny. (gets blasted by Nine's tails) Oh!
Glion: Stop meddling.
Sougo Tokiwa: At this point, we should have brought Ace and the others with us!
Tsukasa Kadoya: (Dials a number on his phone) Way ahead of you.
Kamen Rider Gotchard: We are going to need more than just the three of us to fix this.
Pooh: Guys, I have come to very important decision, Azuma has planned this all along!
Tsukasa Kadoya: Actually, me and the rest of the Tabbyverse Riders have been monitoring what’s been going on here. We knew what would happen and we knew that Michinaga was here. The only reason why we didn’t do anything is because we didn’t want to upset anyone by telling the cold hard truth. In fact, we know everything because we sent our spy to watch over you all.
Glion: Just shut up and be surprised, you losers!
(Glion was then hit by a laser as Kamen Rider Geats stands by his friends with his two foxes)
Kamen Rider Geats: What we weren’t expecting was you guys trying to steal the shards. How could you do this? Now thanks to you, you might end up causing some major problems here and the consequences might be severe. Now stay away from the shards!
Michinaga Azuma: Ignore them. Take the prism.
Tails Nine: Yes, Master.
Kamen Rider Gotchard: No!
Pooh: Stop!
Sonic: Wait! [Tails Nine fires at the Paradox Prism, causing an explosion and a shockwave which passes Shadow. Our heroes are seen down on the ground after being blasted by the explosion. Sonic groans and shakes his head while he watches Michinaga Azuma, Glion and an angry Tails Nine walk towards the portal, carrying all the shards, before stopping at the last stride] (coughs, upset) We can make this work, Nine. Trust me.
Tails Nine: Trust you? The only people I can trust is my master and myself.
Michinaga Azuma: Alright, come on everyone. Let's go.
[Disaster music plays as the two villains and Nine walk into the portal with all the shards, which closes behind them]
Kamen Rider Geats: (to Sonic) What have you done! You just doomed us all!
[Shadow lividly glares at Sonic, who, severely heartbroken and embarrassed to himself, puts his face into his palms. The screen fades slowly to black]
