4KidsTv March 18, 2006 Sonic X S3 Ep 20 Zelkova Strikes Back

On the Blue Typhoon's bridge, the ship is under attack by Metarex Fighters. Cream warns of the impending attack, and Tails instructs Chris and Sonic to disperse the missiles and launch a counter-attack. Chris confirms and asks Cosmo to take over his station. In the hangar, Chris briefs Sonic on the plan: fend off the Metarex attack and retaliate. Sonic is enthusiastic, and they share a confident smile. In space, the Metarex Fighters launch missiles, but the Typhoon ejects star, moon, and planet-shaped particles that detonate the missiles in mid-air, allowing the ship to escape. Back on the bridge, Amy expresses a bad feeling, and Cosmo agrees, noting the increasing violence of the Metarex attacks. Amy senses something else is wrong but can't pinpoint it. In space, Chris's ship takes off. Suddenly, the Typhoon is struck by an unseen force. On the bridge, Tails is confused, and Amy reports nothing on the radar. In space, it's revealed that Yellow Zelkova is clinging to the bottom of the Typhoon, having caused the impact. He laughs, declaring their time is up. After solving the riddle by answering a cemetery, Zelkova told them that he will take the opportunity to teach Sonic's friends that the molten planet will become their grave by beginning to punch their ship towards the edge of the cliff down into a collecting lake of lava below. Sonic attempts to stop him, but is unable to break through the shield. Picking up where they left off, Zelkova and Knuckles get into a fierce battle, during which Knuckles smashes Zelkova's knee and breaks the spikes on one of his gloves. Using a cable from the Blue Typhoon, Sonic and the others channel lightning to overload Zelkova's shield. Zelkova's mechanical outer body is destroyed, revealing his flesh form beneath. Zelkova attacks, but is knocked into a nearby lava pit by Knuckles. Pale Bayleaf informs Eggman of Zelkova's demise, mocking the failure of his shield. Shadow and Rouge find a fake Chaos Emerald at the top of the tree, but they hear groaning from its base. They find Leon (from the Resistance in Episode 68) being consumed by the tree, saying that the Metarex betrayed them. He also gives Shadow a memory chip and says it's not too late to destroy the Metarex before succumbing to the effects and dying shortly afterwards.
