Sonic Prime (2022–…): Season 3, Episode 6 - The Devil Is In the Tails - full transcript

Sonic discovers a new ability that may be the key to defeating Nine. But Nine's endless army has only one purpose: to capture Sonic's energy.

Nine, enough.
We can still end this.

-Whoa!
-[weapon blasts whir]

Together.

Together?

You only care about getting back
to your precious Green Hill.

I care about all of this.

You, the Shatterverse,
and everyone inside of it.

I know you do too.

And that Prism power...

Is my ticket to protecting
my new world.

Once I take the remaining
Prism energy that's in you,



the Grim will be saved.

Look around.

You've already lost and
you don't even know it.

Your so-called friends won't
be doing any more fighting.

Meanwhile, my army has one purpose:
to get your energy.

[explosion blasts]

It's gonna take more than just a few
knockoff robots to slow me down.

[grunts]

[groans]
Need more power!

[Sonic] It's working.

They're losing power.

[yells]

Sure you can handle
all that juice, pal?

[yelling]



[theme music plays]

Let him fall, but catch him
before he hits the spire.

I need that energy.

[yelling]

[groans]
Huh?

I was wondering what these
puppies do in this place.

Get ready for some
fancy footwork.

[grunts]

I never should have given you
those regulators.

More power!

[electronic whirring]

[Sonic strains]

Huh?
[chuckles]

Even better!

No!

[grunts]

[groans, yells]

[Sonic] Oh!

[Sonic screams]

Splat.

[moaning]

-[thuds]
-[grunts]

You're looking pretty tired.

Sure you're not
ready to give up?

[moans] Give up?

I can't.

You're the one
who put me in this position.

Ah!

[whirring]

-Now!
-[all grunting]

-[babbling]
-[grunting]

Ha ha har, yeah!

[grunting]

[grunts]

[grunts]
It worked.

The plan worked!

-[whirring]
-[Nine groans]

Fully charged.

Now you will feel the full force of my...

-[rumbling]
-Huh?

What?

[grunting]

You tricked me.
Clever.

But betrayal comes easy to you.

How did you do it?

One, sneaky great plan.

Two, 'cause they trusted me.

I'm running out of time.
I need you, all of you to listen to me.

Why should anyone listen to you?

Because I know how we can win.

And how do you propose we do that?

By letting him think he's won.

You can't protect your world,
fight me and power your army.

[yelling]

Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. Ah!

[screeching]

[grunts]

-[screams]
-[swords clatter]

-[grunts]
-[thuds]

[groans]

No!

[grunts]
We did it.

[all cheer]

[sighs] You think this is over,
don't you?

It is over.

Now let's save the world...
together.

I didn't start the decay,
the Chaos Council did.

Then you betray me and bring
everyone here to attack me.

[sighs] You forget
who controls the Prism.

[grunting]

What are you doing?

I'm accelerating the decay.

Soon, you'll have no choice.

[whirring]

[grunting]

What is happening?

Huh? No!

Nine, this isn't you.

You'll destroy everything.

[grunts, yells]

[Sonic groans]

[grunts]

[grunting]

Oh, no.

[Dr. Deep grunts, groans]

[grunting]

[yelling]

[electronic whirring]

You're not just destroying your home.

You're destroying yourself.

I'm protecting my home!

[grunts, exclaims]

My Grims will eliminate your friends,

and my Alphas will be by my side
as I do the same to you.

All Alphas attack Sonic... now!

Hold them back!

Eat plasma, metal scum!

[all yelling and grunting]

Prepare to be amazed,

then deceased by
the one and only Doc...

[grunts]

Eat fist, brute!

Take her!

[grunts, yells]

[grunts]

You aren't going anywhere.

[grunting, groaning]

-[groans]
-[whirring]

[grunts, yells]

It's not over.

His power supply is endless.

Nine.

We both dreamed of a better place,
a better way of life.

But your world is falling apart.

A small sacrifice

which I'll fix soon
enough with your energy.

Ah!

[Sonic groaning]

[grunts]

Captain, lead this group.
I got places to be!

You heard 'em, me hearties!

Button yer blowholes and
drive 'em back! Full force!

[all yell]

[yelling]

[grunts, groans]

Yes!

[yells]

[rumbling]

[chitters]

[Rebel] Oh, no... Big is back!

-[yells]
-[weapons blast]

[grunts]

[groans angrily]

[panting]

This is gonna hurt me a lot
more than it's gonna hurt you.

What?

[grunts]

I've been waiting a long time
for this, traitor.

Destroy the red one
and bring me Sonic.

I need his energy.

Ah!

[both grunt, groan]

[grunts]

[Sonic grunts]

-[grunts]
-[groans]

[yells]

[chuckles]

[groans]

What do we do?

We do what we always do.

We fight to the last one standing!

[all yelling]

[all grunting]

Huh?

Huh?

[mechanical roar]

-Ahoy!
-Hey.

Sails! Mangey! You're alive!

But... how?

There was an
explosion to be sure

but twas nothing we
couldn't fly away from.

Mostly.

Orders?

Stay on top of the Grim-bots
and stay safe.

The rest of you,
remember the plan.

Take out the Alphas
and the others fall.

You heard her, Mangey.
Light 'em up!

Ahh, I love the smell of
froggy bombs in the morning.

Hold up, Captain.

With everyone
distracted down here,

we could make a serious run
at that rock.

And with that kind of treasure,

we wouldn't just be legends,
we would be pirate kings.

Me beauty.

[grunting, groaning]

No! I have to have that energy.

[whirring]

[yelling]

Look out!

[exclaiming]

[control panel beeping]

[moans]

[targeting system beeps]

-[grunts]
-[whirring]

[squawks]

Argh. That's not good.

[all cheering]

It's working.
The Grim Birdies are out!

Press the attack!

[yells]

[exclaiming]

[grunting]

The Grim Rouges are down!
Don't stop! Keep going!

[groans]

[grunting]

Argh!

[panting]

[grunting]

Knucks, stop! Look!

We'll lose everything.

I gotta get through to him.

[grunting]

[Dr. Deep] Oh, no.

Ah!

[yells]

Oh! Whoa!

[grunting]

[chuckles]

[beeping]

[sighs] Keep fightin', Batten!
We can do this!

Aye aye, Capt... oh!

[yelling]

[grunting]

So much beauty.

Instead of dying in this desolate
wasteland like the rest of these sea dogs,

we'll be living like kings.

[Black Rose strains]

Forget them, Captain.
We have to keep climbing.

Come on, Captain!

Ah!

[grunting and groaning]

Leave her be!

Dread?

[grunting]

Leave this one to me.

You came for me.

I finally realized
there are things more important

than a shiny rock.

But you already knew that,
didn't ye?

I suppose I did.

For now and forever.

You'll always have me loyalty.

Captain Rose.

Did you just call me "Captain"?

Aye. Now, what are your orders?

Grab your sword and let's
dole out some pirate justice.

You don't feel anything,
but I do.

And that's what makes us different.

My masters had me believe

that Birdie gave me
my inner strength and power.

[Birdie chirps]

But I know now
it was another lie.

Told to keep me
under their control.

Symbolic of my oppression.

[chirping]

But I don't need this
little bird for power.

And this little bird
needs to be free.

The only thing I need is me!

Oh!

[grunting]

[yelling]

[grunting, straining]

[whimpering]

[groans]

[grunts]

[straining]

[yelling]

[chirping]

[grunts]

[grunting]

[panting]

[Nine] It doesn't have to
end like this, Sonic.

I just need your energy.

Take them down.

[grunts]
We are not finished!

No! How?

I am the ultimate life form.

Modest too!

[yells]

[groans]

[grunting]

[Rose] We're losing ground.
Get to the Citadel!

[dramatic music builds]

[grunting]

He's not gonna stop.
