Episode Title:
Ghost of a Chance
Episode Description:
The Chaos Council arrives in Ghost Hill to retrieve the Prism Shards. Sonic and Shadow go to fend off the Eggforcers while Nine works to reconstruct the Paradox Prism. Nine has to reconstruct it delicately and carefully, since rushing the reconstruction could have serious consequences. During the fight, The Council are shocked by the sight of Shadow, and believe him to be this world's version of Sonic. Shadow tells Sonic that he still doesn't trust Nine, but Sonic is insistent about it. Sonic's reality is soon restored, but only for a brief second, which means that it's working. However, Nine still needs more time. Unfortunately, the Council has detected the Shards' combined energy and sent a squad of Eggforcers after it. Deep and Babble are dispatched and upgraded with Prism energy to distract Sonic and Shadow. The two Council members overpower the two Hedgehogs while the Eggforcers attack Nine. Sonic returns to the Temple Mountain and informs Nine of the situation. At his request, Nine infuses Sonic with additional energy from the Prism. Sonic, with his speed and strength amplified with the additional energy, returns and defeats Babble and Deep. Eggman, refusing to admit defeat, creates a prismatic Titan in the shape and form of his original counterpart and sends it toward the mountain. Nine infuses Sonic with more Prism energy to match the Titan's own energy frequency and Sonic uses it to destroy the Titan. After the battle, Sonic sees that Green Hill hasn't been restored yet, and Nine reveals that there's one more Shard in the Grim. He also reveals that he never truly intended to help Sonic restore his world and that he needed the Ghost Prism as a blueprint so that he could use the Paradox Prism to turn the Grim into the home he wants. Sonic tries to convince him otherwise, since he thought he and Nine would see things the same way just like how Tails would, but Nine, believing that Sonic would destroy him and the rest of the Shatterverse if he restored his original universe, berates him for his selfishness and recklessness and returns to New Yoke with the Shards, leaving Sonic alone in the Mountain with Shadow. The episode ends with Sonic crying in realization that Shadow was right about Nine this whole time.
