Due to the overwhelming request, I decided to finish the review of the
second part of the Sonic Anime a bit earlier than originally planned. :)
So here it is... hope you like it.
Our heroes have arrived at the entrance to Eggman's headquarters. Tails
is astonished that the doctor lives in such a magnificent building, of
which Knuckles replies that this isn't anything special, and they wouldn't
have time to admire it anyway. Sonic agrees and gives the signal to set
out.
While they run down into the building, Tails monitors their route with his
wrist navigation device. At first Knuckles is very delighted because he
finds all this really thrilling, but Sonic calls to him that he shouldn't
be, since you never know what lies ahead. Knuckles admits that Sonic is
right, especially when they get shot at from every direction a few seconds
later. Knuckles tells Sonic run ahead while he will take care of the
problem at hand. At this point we see the title of the second episode:
"Sonic vs. Metal Sonic".
Sonic runs as fast as he can toward the Egg-Generator (which looks like a
giant metal version of Eggman's head), but can't reach it because the
conveyor belt that leads to the generator runs in the opposite direction.
He commands Tails to fly to the turn-off lever, but the fox isn't strong
enough to pull it alone, since it is at least three times his size. At
the last moment Knuckles breaks through the wall, glides toward Sonic and
gives him the decisive push that lets him reach the lever. The machine
stops exactly one second before meltdown (which is shown on the display
above the lever), and all the lights in EggmanLand go off again, leaving
the city shrouded in darkness.
But the whole thing seems to have been a setup, because suddenly Sonic is
trapped in some kind of forcefield. Knuckles calls to the hedgehog that
he is going to save him, while desperately trying to run to him on the
still moving conveyor belt. At this moment the Egg-Generator literally
breaks apart and Sonic falls into the void below. Luckily Knuckles can
catch him just in time before he hits the ground. But something is still
there... a strange-looking purple engergy egg. Knuckles looks over to it
and notes that there is something moving inside, something that looks like
Sonic. Then the egg goes off in a flash, and when the clouds part, Sonic
stands face to face with his metallic counterpart.
