of the metal virus saga well the conclusion to the overall doesn't matter the point is do not start with this episode we have a whole playlist go check that stuff out or yeah go check out the comics yourself but for everybody else welcome back let's stop wasting time let's get into it [Music] okay so the face ship is now face to face with angel island zavok has found our heroes we got tails freaking out and hey guys like yeah obviously rouge we're out of time whatever you plan on doing do it and on the ground level behind the face ship we see all of our characters that we've lost during the saga roaming up on to the island falling behind zavik's ship so even from there he's got total command of this zombot army and he's got them converging on angel island and let's take a moment to once again appreciate the fact that zavic one of the most joked about characters in the sonic franchise is just full on terrifying right now and man he's gonna go big and go hard quite literally getting ahead of myself i love this moment here where we see zavok overlooking angel island you gotta remember he comes from lost hex this is the first time he's seen this landmass and he shows a bit of respect for it he says it looks smaller than lost hex but it's no less beautiful and he cannot wait to bathe it in the metal virus but something's gone awry with the ship he turns around and sees rouge just admiring the gray chaos emerald she says goodness does this one emerald power this whole ship she says that she wanted to pull this off a little bit more elegantly but you do what you gotta do and says tuck and roll boys and we see orbot and cubot take the shape of an orb and a cube as they hop on off the face ship the original plan was to grab both the chaos emeralds but since that's not currently an option the next best bet is just take down the entire face ship and that's exactly what rouge does with one fell swoop it goes crashing into the earth below and our heroes look on we have eggman who's just lamenting the fact that he's lost his best ship to date at least that's what he says and again there's been a lot of zombots surrounding that spot right there right below them we have sonic just going ugh glad the zombots can survive something like that rouge touches base with the rest of the team sonic asking you knew the zombots could survive that right and rouge yeah i actually believe her when she says that she did her research you're welcome by the way now the plan from here is to just go through the rubble and pick up the last chaos emerald from zavic once you know the fires and everything calmed down unfortunately as eggy points out that's not gonna be an option as we see zavok pull himself from the wreckage and uses his chaos emerald just go kaiju size on us here that's right kids we got fury zavic now and he's now at eye level with angel island just standing up and he just shoots fire at the island itself just rocking the entire thing and knuckles and michael's like did you just spit on my island now everybody else has done their part it's time for sonic to get to work they're out of options he hands off the emerald to silver who holds up the other six and he gets his friends in gear telling tales and rouge that he needs air support and tells silver to tag along but before they can do anything else zavok picks up a handful of zombots and just chucks them at angel island now again things have been a little inconsistent here because he just full on grabbed zombots without showing any kind of infection but i think that goes to show us subtly that the emeralds and their energy aren't affected by this plague and that will be very important very soon but right now zavik is just lobbing zombots onto angel island the last place for sonic and his team to recoup and recover is gone and the heroes are now faced off against their turned zombified friends so yeah that's where issue 28 ends that's the part i left off from last time we're jumping straight into 29 and they start off basically just telling us what we just saw there give us a little clarification turns out the chaos emerald has amplified zavik's electromagnetic powers so that helps him navigate the zombot chucks straight to sonic and his team and they point out that there's literally nowhere else to run sonic's zombot infection is no longer being pushed back by his speed this is do or die knuckles is frustrated telling sonic that he always brings trouble to his island masonic as exhausted as he is tries to reassure him saying yeah things look bleak but don't worry i got a plan trust me and this i just this just goes to show how much these two have grown as friends over the years i mean i go back to sonic 3 and knuckles where knuckles she wanted to kill this guy and now like this is like knuckles best friend and as furious as he is for sonic bringing another problem to his island he does trust him because the first thing he does is knock zombot shadow right in the face and he tells sonic you better do what you gotta do or else i'm gonna haunt you and yes this is a desperate moment and yes this is knuckles doing whatever he can to protect his home and the master emerald and the refugees this shows you how much trust this guy has in sonic even if he goes down he trusts sonic to take care of his home yet again he trusts sonic to take care of this world and he tells him they're gonna hold off these zombots as best as they can so get out there and save the day already and sonic wastes no time as him and silver come rushing off and as he zips by metal he tells him yo dude we're gonna need you too come along and aggie gives him the go ahead zayna this is the only way to save him activate your defensive measures and just do what sonic says and we have sonic being held up by metal sonic as him and metal and silver go leaping off of angel island to face off against giant zavok and even at that size he has his eyes dead set on the hedgehog and he's just talking the whole time this is your last show of resistance this is all you can do you may have destroyed by means of creating more metal virus but i still command the zombots and with them i will infect everything i will see your world grow sick and perish and just lunges zombots at the trio and we got metal sonic dipping and diving he is really all that's keeping sonic alive at this point he tells metal to head straight for the chaos emerald that is all that matters and zavok is just blasting everything left and right shoots right at metal and sonic and nettle puts up his dark shield babe oh my god yes yeah even with chaos emerald powers his stupid fireballs got nothing on that shield sonic says boy i'm glad me and tails didn't deactivate you when we had the chance which we'll get through it and zavic reaches for the shielded hedgehogs but is blocked off by silver's psychokinesis sonic thanks him for the assist but reminds him to keep a hold of the six emerald and silver tells him you focus on the one in zavik's chest sonic then commands metal get him in close but unfortunately zavic just gusts a bunch of wind at them and sends him flying to the earth below sonic picks himself amongst the rubble it's actually with orbot and cubot good to see they survive their fall and orbee just tells them hey man you're not looking good you probably should start running and sonic tells him and again the reader unfortunately that doesn't seem to be working anymore and robot says no you you don't get me man i don't mean for yourself i mean run away from them as the zombots who were caught in that rubble begin to crawl up out of the ground zombies man i love that imagery and sonic is just he is worn down dude he is exhausted there's not much left he can do and he says if i could just get enough speed i can run up to the emerald but yeah man he's not looking good and his friends aren't looking good either we got tails trying to shake off the two chow we got knuckles who's getting more and more infected fighting off zombot shadow we got whisper crying her gun shaking in her hand pointing it directly at the zombified tangle we got espo dodging the other two of the detective agency and we have eggman crawling away in fear from a zombified big the cat [Laughter] but he's saved at the last second by amy who takes a hammer to big's chest and she says oh man that didn't do anything and eggman the piece of garbage he is boots amy into big getting her infected saying on the contrary he actually slowed him down from me and he takes off towards their own shuttle to save himself but then he slips on the zombot froggy [Laughter] who leaps up into the air and that is what takes eggman out that silly little frog and knuckles our boy goes down like a champ fighting till the last against zombot shadow just pummeling him into his precious island below but unfortunately that can only go for so long as knuckles is turned and we see tales in everybody's favor position holding his head in the fetal position begging for sonic's help but unlike sonic forces this is actually earned tails has been fighting to the last this entire time and we see that the chow have grabbed onto his tails he is infected he is being turned there is nothing left for him to do all that's left is in the hands of sonic and i'm sorry i know you guys get upset when you see tails cowering and in fear but he's still a kid and eventually that bravery is going to wane and at least we can justify this unlike being a coward in front of chaos zero out of nowhere like a punk but yes this is here to show us that things are not going good for our heroes everybody's been infected and sonic out of energy looks like he is about to go down as well as he is swarmed by zombots but then is saved by metal sonic are you kidding yes oh my god dude this team up holy cow metal comes in saves the day and gets sonic back up into the fight zavic again turns his attention to sonic and reminds him machines are his to control and sends metal flying sonic drops onto zavok himself and blasts his way over to the chaos emerald cutting it loose and throwing it into the air to silver as his last bit of consciousness begins to fade as the metal virus finally takes over his body but in that last sliver all seven chaos emeralds are combined [Music] not only do we get supersonic we get super silver boosh and after all of this time we see the metal virus once and for all flake away off of sonic's body he is finally cured and now it's time to save the world but before he does zama comes in with the fist saying with the last of my strength i will crush you but super sonic is having none of it and with half a panel just beats his abs it just takes him down half of a page that is it for zavic scott is dead get your nick junior designed ass out of here you bowser wanna be piece of garbage you're out and silver says i was a little anticlimactic but sonic points out yotag we don't have time they got the chaos emeralds and the warp topaz is not reacting great to all of this energy so they gotta do what they gotta do and with silver's now amped up abilities the warped topaz and the purifying energy of the chaos emeralds they begin to cure the world and one by one we see our characters celebrate and reunite tears of joy streaming down their faces whisper finally embracing her best friend again team chaotix finally together chanting along their dope ass theme song froggy sitting on top of an embarrassed eggman knuckles and shadow very confused to see each other pissed off at roosh who just who has not been helping look she took down the faceship all right like if she's gonna go down she's gonna hang out with the master i love her she's the best we even see scruffy return to normal we see vanilla back in action and we see cream reunited with her mother because general's been with her this entire time and brought her back the moment it was safe i just man happy endings all around but we then turn our attention back to sonic and silver they've been flying around the world absorbing all of the metal virus and sonic is going to send it into the sun through the warp portal where it can never do damage to anyone ever again but the warp topaz is becoming unstable so they gotta kick it into high gear and we do just that and as silver finally confirms that the metal virus is once and for all destroyed the warp topaz has hit its breaking point and lets off a blinding explosion in the sky and sends silver rocketing back down to angel island tails knuckles and amy go to his location asking if he's okay asking what happened and he confirms that the metal virus has been removed it has been destroyed the nightmare is finally over but unfortunately sonic tried to ditch the warp topaz into the super warp portal but ended up going along with it so yes we are finally free of the metal virus but it looks like it's come at a hefty cost but how hefty is it going to be i mean this book's titled song to join we've seen this particular thing happen a couple times we'll find out next time [Laughter] i'm sorry guys we're gonna do one more episode about the metal virus but man what a wild ride that one issue in a couple pages was so i hope you understand why i left it to one episode as opposed to just cramming it into the last one thank you guys so much for hanging out with me today thank you to all the patron supporters who've been following along for this wild ride with me and beginning this show early so hey hope you've been enjoying that but yeah let's just cut it here i'm gonna get straight to work on the final thing and uh then we'll go from there maybe we'll take a break from idw maybe we'll cover a different sonic comic i'm not sure but i'm gonna tell you what my patrons will definitely figure that out for me so i'll let you know how all of that goes next week but until then two two super sonic [Music] warriors [Music] [Music] foreign
