This is the transcript of the Sonic X episode, "A Robot Rebels".

Narrator: Last time on Sonic X, Sonic and Tails discovered another Emerald, but it was soon devoured by Dr. Eggman's Chaos creature. A fierce battle followed, and the X-Tornado went down in flames. But thanks to Tails' expert piloting skills, our battered hero survived to fight on. Unfortunately, Eggman wasn't finished making mischief, and he seized Amy and her new friend Lily. For once, Sonic arrived too late. Now his speed isn't enough. This time, he'll have to think fast if he's going to catch up with Eggman.

[Scene: A waterfall]

[Knuckles stands on a hill before a waterfall, Master Emerald shard in hand.]

Knuckles: [To himself] I was supposed to guard the Master Emerald, but now I only have one piece of it. What's the use of going on? It's over. I failed.

[He closes his eyes and envisions Tikal witnessing the Master Emerald shrine engulfed in flames. He opens his eyes.]

Knuckles: Standing around feeling sorry for myself won't make things right. I couldn't stop the Master Emerald from being destroyed, but I can gather what's left. I've wasted enough time moping. I'd better get on with the search!

[He scales the rocks at the side of the falls.]

[Scene Change: Thorndyke Mansion - Outside]

[The X-Tornado prepares to take off.]

Tails: Ready for takeoff, Sonic?

Sonic: Ready!

[The X-Tornado takes off.]

Chuck: I only hope that they'll be able to find Amy. With Eggman and those crazy robots of his, who knows what could happen to her.

Mr. Tanaka: I'm sure Sonic won't give up until he brings her back here safe and sound.

Chuck: Sure.

Cream: Do you think she's okay?

Cheese: Chao chao...

Ella: Don't you worry, Cream. I'm sure she's just fine.

[Scene Change: The X-Tornado]

[Tails' head is still bandaged from before.]

Sonic: You shouldn't try to take on Eggman so soon.

Tails: I feel fine. I can handle him, Sonic.

Sonic: You're a great pilot, Tails, but I better do this alone.

[Unknown to Tails, Sonic opens the door.]

Tails: Wait, Sonic. We are a team. We have to figure out where Eggman took Amy. It'll be easier with two of us looking. Amy's probably in danger, and there's no time to lose. Let's both look, Sonic. I know we can find her.

Sonic: I guess we do have a better chance working together.

Tails: Right! We're a team!

[Tails now notices that Sonic is standing outside the craft.]

Tails: But if you're staying in the plane, how come you're outside?

Sonic: It's more fun to ride the X-Tornado outside in the open air.

Tails: Okay, you better hold on tight.

Sonic: Yeah!

[The X-Tornado increases its speed.]

Sonic: Hold on, Amy. We'll find you.

[Scene Change: The coast]

[Chris and Big are standing on the coastline. Big casts his fishing line into the ocean.]

Chris: Can't you go fishing later, Big? We have to find Froggy fast before Dr. Eggman finds out that he swallowed a Chaos Emerald.

Big: It may not seem like it, Chris, but I know just what I'm doing. Trust me.

Chris: Okay...

[Chris sees the X-Tornado flying overhead.]

Chris: The X-Tornado! I hope Tails is okay...

[Scene Change: Egg Carrier - Prison]

[Amy and Lily are locked in a prison aboard the Egg Carrier, which is located under the ocean.]

Amy: Hey! Eggman! Let me out of here!

[But there is no reply. Amy slumps onto the floor.]

Amy: Oh, what's the use? I was all set to make Sonic a gourmet meal, but Eggman had to spoil it!

[She imagines herself displaying a wide variety of foods to Sonic.]

Amy: I spent weeks practicing all the recipes Ella gave me. I could have made my way into his heart by going right through his stomach.

[Scene Change: Egg Carrier - Prison]

Amy: When Sonic and I start getting close, something always seems to keep us apart.

[Lily responds.]

Amy: But Sonic always does manage to come through.

[Scene Change: Amy's imagination]

[Sonic is running through a canyon. Amy chases him.]

Amy: Hey, Sonic! Wait for me!

[A giant robot lands between her and Sonic. Sonic spin-dashes through the robot, then carries Amy, bridal-style, to safety as the robot explode.]

[Scene Change: Egg Carrier - Prison]

Amy: Sonic's never let me down before, and I know he won't let me down now.

[Lily chirps. Amy cuddles her.]

Amy: Just wait and see, Lily. Sonic will find us here and come to our rescue. ... Sonic, if you can, please hurry.

[Scene Change: The Egg Carrier - Briefing room]

[Bocoe and Decoe are standing in front of a microphone.]

Bocoe: Give it here!

Decoe: No, you give it!

Bocoe: I want to test the microphone!

Decoe: I got here first!

Bocoe: Let go!

Decoe: You will have to wait your turn!

Bocoe: Give it!

[The microphone squeals.]

Decoe: Testing, one two, testing, testing, hello.

Bocoe: Do you hear the sound of my voice?

Decoe: Testing...

Dr. Eggman: That's enough!

[Eggman's yell scares his two hench-bots away from the microphone, which he takes for himself.]

Dr. Eggman: Now, E-Series robots, please listen carefully to the following instructions.

[A screen behind Eggman is projecting an image of Froggy.]

Dr. Eggman: If you will turn your attention to the screen behind me, you will see a rather unusual Froggy. You will notice our amphibian friend is sporting, of all things, a tail. That is what makes him so special. Your mission is to get the jump on this Froggy and bring it back to the Egg Carrier. Is that clear?

[The robots salute.]

Gamma: Yes, Doctor.

Beta: Yes, Doctor.

Epsilon: Yes, Doctor.

Delta: Yes, Doctor.

Dr. Eggman: My plans depend on catching that Froggy! Go now, and don't fail me!

[The robots march single-file from the room.]

[Scene Change: Mystic Ruins]

[Knuckles glides to the base of one of the ruins, then runs inside. He spies a shard of the Master Emerald above him. He leaps up and grasps it. However, doing so triggers a vision.]

[Scene Change: Knuckles' vision]

Knuckles: Where am I?

[He sees that he is at the Master Emerald shrine in the past.]

Knuckles: What's that?

[Knuckles comes closer and sees Tikal and several Chao at the base of the shrine.]

Tikal: I'm very frightened, Chaos. Help us! The invaders are coming; we must leave! ... Yes, I understand. We may flee, but you must stay here.

[The Chao become sad.]

Tikal: Don't worry. I promise, everything is going to be fine.

[The Chao become happy and sing to Tikal before guiding her to the top of the shrine. She looks up at the seven Chaos Emeralds.]

Tikal: The seven Chaos Emeralds.

[She also sees the Master Emerald. It is shining radiantly.]

Tikal: Now I know who brought me here: it's you.

[She folds her hands together.]

Tikal: There's something important that you want to tell me. I understand the servers are the seven chaos. The controller serves to unify the chaos. The controller serves to unify the chaos...

[The Master Emerald glows.]

Tikal: [Realization] It is you! You control the seven Chaos Emeralds!

[Knuckles is seen standing behind Tikal as the vision ends.]

[Scene Change: Mystic Ruins]

[Knuckles is outside the ruins.]

Knuckles: I see... This is where they led her. To the altar where the Master Emerald was. But why? Why? Who is she, anyway? Maybe... is she trying to tell me something?

[He holds out one of the Master Emerald shards.]

Knuckles: Yes... It must have something to do with the Master Emerald. If only I could figure out what it means.

[He ascends the altar, and the shards join together. However, a few shards are missing.]

Knuckles: It's almost restored. One piece left. I'll just have to keep looking.

[He sees the image of the Egg Carrier in the Master Emerald.]

Knuckles: That's Eggman's ship! Why would the Master Emerald show me this? ... Maybe it's a warning. Eggman must be up to something dangerous.

[Scene Change: The coast]

[The E-100 series robots are searching for Froggy.]

Delta: Must find Froggy...

Epsilon: Froggy is somewhere...

Delta: Must bring Froggy home...

Epsilon: Froggy not easy to find...

Delta: Must leep looking...

Gamma: Find Froggy. Make Doctor happy.

[E-102 Gamma's head swivels to see Chris and Big nearby. Soon the robots end up catching frogs.]

Epsilon: I found Froggy.

Delta: No, I found Froggy.

Beta: No, I found Froggy.

[Not far away, Big snags something on his line.]

Big: There he is! There he is! Look, Chris! I found Froggy!

Chris: Hey, that's great, Big!

[However, Gamma takes Froggy right off the line and flees.]

Gamma: I found the real Froggy.

[Scene Change: The Egg Carrier]

Bocoe: Gamma has found a frog as well, Doctor.

Decoe: That makes a total of four Froggies.

Dr. Eggman: Bring them all back here immediately!

[Scene Change: Outside]

[Chris and Big chase after Gamma.]

Chris: Come back!

Big: Froggy!

[To their shock, the Egg Carrier rises out of the water. The ramp extends, and the robots board the vessel.]

Chris: Let's follow them. Hurry!

[They board the Egg Carrier, and the ramp starts to close as they are boarding.]

[Scene Change: The Egg Carrier - Briefing room]

Beta: Mine is the real Froggy.

Gamma: No, mine is.

Epsilon: No, mine is the real one.

Delta: The Doctor will be so proud

Decoe: The Doctor is approaching!

Bocoe: Settle down, you freaky frog-nappers!

Dr. Eggman: Ahh...

[Eggman heads over to inspect the robot's frogs. He inspects everyone's frogs except for Gamma. He is absolutely furious.]

Dr. Eggman: What's this?! You dare bring back these crummy croakers?! ... No, no, no! Aaaargh, you clanky klutz!! This isn't the Froggy I wanted! Do you see a tail anywhere?! You're lucky I don't have you flattened into scrap metal.

[Beta points to his eyes.]

Beta: Sorry.

[Scene Change: The Egg Carrier - A hallway]

[Chris and Big cautiously look around a corner.]

Chris: It's like a maze in here. They could be anywhere!

Big: Yeah, but we can't stop now. They got Froggy!

Chris: Come on; let's go this way.

[They quickly cross the hallway.]

[Scene Change: The Egg Carrier - Briefing room]

Dr. Eggman: All right, you nickel-plated ninnies, listen here! I am not looking for your average everyday amphibian. I am seeking a very special Froggy with a tail that's long and pointy!

[He stops when he notices Gamma's frog.]

Dr. Eggman: Wha wha wha...? This is it! My little Chaos Froggy!

[He takes Froggy from Gamma.]

Dr. Eggman: Yes, there's my baby! I just knew you would do me proud, Gamma!

Gamma: [Nods] Yes, Doctor.

[Eggman laughs heartily, then scowls furiously at the other robots, who sweatdrop nervously.]

Dr. Eggman: You're useless! Get out of my sight! Bocoe, destroy them all except Gamma!

Bocoe: Yes, Doctor...

[A button rises in front of Bocoe. He presses it, and the other robots are teleported away.]

Decoe: If you have to go, I guess that is the best way.

Bocoe: [Arms crossed] No thanks. I want to rust away.

Dr. Eggman: Gamma, I'd like to talk to my little birdie friend. Bring her to me.

Gamma: Yes, Doctor.

[Gamma leaves.]

[Scene Change: The Egg Carrier]

Chris: Maybe the robots hid Froggy somewhere down here, Big.

[Chris and Big suddenly stop, as they would have walked right into the passing Gamma. The two shrug. Meanwhile, Gamma sees a vision of Lily. He steps into another room to see that Beta is getting a painful modification.]

Gamma: Beta...

[Gamma sees several of Beta's parts on the ground before he gets a vision of Lily.]

Gamma: Oh...

[Gamma looks back before leaving.]

[Scene Change: Egg Carrier - Prison]

[Gamma arrives at the cell and points his gun at Amy.]

Gamma: Give me the little bird.

Amy: No way! I won't let you take her, you hear me?

Gamma: You must. The Doctor commands it.

Amy: Well, he can't have it!

Gamma: Hand it over.

Amy: Now you listen to me. I'm not afraid of you, and I'm not afraid of him either.

Gamma: You are not afraid?

Amy: No way! And even if I was, I still would let him hurt an innocent bird. I know you have a job to do, but I'd be extremely grateful if you would please let me and Lily out of here.

Gamma: No...

[Gamma takes a step back.]

Gamma: Not possible... Against regulations... Must obey Doctor... Must obey Doctor...

Amy: But why? Just because he taught you to be mean doesn't mean you have to be.

[Suddenly Lily flies through the bars and hovers in front of Gamma. Lily looks distressed.]

Amy: Lily!

Gamma: Overload... Overload...

Amy: What's wrong?

Gamma: Go. Go!

[Gamma fires at the bars, destroying them.]

Gamma: Go now. Leave here.

[Amy steps out of the cell, shielding herself with closed eyes as the smoke clears.]

Gamma: No time. Must go. Now.

[Gamma is distracted by Lily.]

Gamma: Go now. Hurry!

Amy: You're really not like all those other robots, are you?

[Lily returns to Amy and lands on her finger.]

Amy: Those robots are mean, but he's not like that, is he, Lily? ... Thank you. We'll never forget you. Bye!

[Amy and Lily leave.]

Gamma: Bye...

[Scene Change: A Canyon]

[The Egg Carrier flies over a canyon that Knuckles is in.]

Knuckles: That was Eggman. I've got to stop him!

[The X-Tornado lands next to Knuckles.]

Sonic: Yo, Knuckles! ... Going my way?

[Knuckles smirks.]

[Scene Change: Egg Carrier]

Dr. Eggman: [Laughs] Things are really hopping now that I've found my little Froggy.

Bocoe: Dr. Eggman, the X-Tornado!

Dr. Eggman: What?!

[Indeed, the X-Tornado is approaching.]

Dr. Eggman: Well, don't just sit there! Blow the tiresome Tornado to Timbuktu!

[Tails has a difficult time dodging the turrets' lasers. Sonic and Knuckles hang in for dear life.]

Dr. Eggman: All right, let's show our foxy friend some fireworks!

Bocoe and Decoe: Yes, Doctor!

[They press a button.]

[Scene Change: Outside]

Tails: Sonic, you okay?

Sonic: Yeah, just fine! Hey Tails, check it out!

[Two panels on the Egg Carrier move, revealing the Eggman Cannon.]

Tails: Okay...

[Tails has a flashback of the Eggman Cannon's previous attack on the X-Tornado.]

Tails: Okay, go on and give me your best shot! This time I'm ready for ya!

[The Eggman Cannon begins charging.]

Tails: Time for a little transformation. Hang on real tight, you guys; this could get a little tricky.

Sonic: What?

Knuckles: What did he say?

Tails: X-Tornado, transform! Battle Armor!

[Tails nimbly avoids the Eggman Cannon's attack.]

Dr. Eggman: What?

[Scene Change: Egg Carrier]

[Tails converts the X-Tornado to Battle Armor Mode. Two fists emerge from the engine, which now face forward.]

Dr. Eggman: What's this? How dare they! Transform the Egg Carrier!

Bocoe and Decoe: Yes, Doctor.

Dr. Eggman: I'll show those featherbrain flyboys not to mess with me!

[He presses a button, and Tails, Sonic, and Knuckles are shocked to see the Egg Carrier transform.]

[Scene Change: Outside]

Tails: I have to wait for exactly the right moment.

[The Egg Carrier fires a hail of lasers and missiles at the X-Tornado.]

Tails: Now, here goes!

[A shield extends out of the X-Tornado's right hand to block the lasers, while a sword protrudes from the left hand to slice the missiles in half]

[Scene Change: Egg Carrier]

Dr. Eggman: He's blowing our missiles to smithereens!

[Scene Change: Outside]

Tails: Gotcha! How do ya like me now, Eggman! Come on, tough guy! Bring it on!

Sonic: Cool it, Tails. Let's not make things worse, okay?

Tails: [Rubs behind head] Okay. Sorry.

[Scene Change: Egg Carrier]

Dr. Eggman: They're coming in for a landing! Let's give them a warm welcome, shall we?

Bocoe: Yes, sir.

Decoe: Yes, sir.

[They press buttons, and fireworks and confetti are launched as figurines hold a welcome sign]

Figurines: Yay! Yay! Hip-hip-hooray! Yay! Yay! Hip-hip-hooray!

[Bocoe facepalms]

Decoe: Who could ask for a warmer welcome than that, eh, Doctor?

Dr. Eggman: You fool! I was being sarcastic! Now switch it to battle mode immediately!

[Scene Change: Outside]

Tails: Hang on! Almost there...

[They approach the Egg Carrier]

Tails: We made it!

Sonic: Let's bring it in for a nice, smooth landing, Tails!

[Tails becomes panicked]

Tails: Aah! Oh no!

Sonic: What is it?

Tails: We'll have to settle for nice and bumpy. We don't have any wheels!

[Sonic and Knuckles look at each other]

Sonic and Knuckles: What?!

[The X-Tornado crashes on the Egg Carrier's deck]
