終わる筈のない愛が途絶えた
いのち尽きてゆくように
ちがう きっとちがう 心が叫んでる
ひとりでは生きてゆけなくて
また誰れかを愛している
こころ 哀しくて 言葉にできない

La la la, la-la la, la-la, la-la, la-la la

せつない嘘をついては
いいわけをのみこんで
果たせぬ あの頃の夢は もう消えた
誰れのせいでもない
自分がちいさすぎるから
それが くやしくて 言葉にできない

La la la, la-la la, la-la, la-la, la-la la
La la la, la-la la, 言葉にできない

あなたに会えて ほんとうによかった

La la la, la-la la, la-la, la-la, la-la la
La la la, la-la la, la-la, la-la, la-la la

A love that should not end
Has ceased to be
You're wrong, you're completely wrong, my heart yells to me
I can't continue living by myself
Can I love someone again
How sad my heart is, words cannot describe

La la la, la-la la, la-la, la-la, la-la la
La la la, la-la la, words cannot describe

You're telling me your lies
Yet I understand your excuses
The dream of the time of when I could accomplish nothing is already gone
It's not because of who you are
But because I feel so insignificant
How terrifying that is, words cannot describe

La la la, la-la la, la-la, la-la, la-la la
La la la, la-la la, words cannot describe

When I can meet with you it'll be truly great
My happiness, my happiness, words cannot describe

La la la, la-la la, la-la, la-la, la-la la
La la la, la-la la, words cannot describe

When I can meet with you

Words cannot describe
Now, I can meet you

Suddenly, he spotted Maria Robotnik who ran away from the scene as Mister Smith told her to stop. He eventually found her with her hands on a handle switch, intending to release the creature and set him free. Despite him pointing his gun at Maria and warning her not to pull on the handle, she did the deed. (In the Japanese version, he is then seen firing his gun directly at her).

### Present

Scarlet Garcia and Mister Stewart visited a retirement center to interview Mister Smith who is one of the few that witnessed the events of Space Colony Ark 50 years ago.

Soon, Mister Schmitz helped combat the black-suited agents that ambushed Mr. Stewart and Scarlet later on. He then finally told the story of his experience at the ARK 50 years ago as a G.U.N agent. After telling his story, Mister Smith became tearful over sealing Maria's fate. He watched the battle in space with Super Sonic, Super Shadow and the Final Lizard.

The **Metarex Station** is a location that appears in the anime series *Sonic X*. It was a space station maintained by the Metarex resembling a large green orb. It possesses defenses that included a garrison of Metarex Pinchersheads and Metarex Pteranos.

## History

### Anime

#### Metarex Saga

The Metarex kept a number of valuable items here, including two captured Chaos Emeralds and a Planet Egg that they were attempting to mutate using the power of the jewels. The Metarex Station defenses proved formidable enough for the crews of the Crimson Egg and the Blue Typhoon to join forces to seize the Emeralds. However, Dr. Eggman quickly betrayed his "comrades" in hopes of obtaining the Emeralds, only for the unlikely allies to run into an army of Metarex Troopers. A hologram of Metarex leader Dark Oak also appeared to confront the intruders, prior to the station being attacked by a fleet led by Red Pine's Battleship.

The ensuing battle saw a confrontation between Super Sonic and Super Shadow and the jettison of the Planet Egg from the station. This resulted in the station collapsing in on itself, creating a gravity warp that destroyed Red Pine and his forces, scattered the assembled Chaos Emeralds, and would have proved the end of Eggman and Sonic the Hedgehog's teams had it not been for Sonic and Shadow.
Li Yan

**Li Yan** (リャン, *Ryan*?) is a minor character in the anime series *Sonic X* and its comic series published by Archie Comics. He was once a fierce street thug and leader of a gang called the "Bruiser Boys" from Oriental City, who were seeking the red Chaos Emerald to sell in on the market for large sums of money, but he and his gang were thwarted by Knuckles the Echidna and his human ally Hawk. Humiliated, Yan found his chance for revenge once he was called by the S.O.N.I.C.X. organization to defeat Sonic the Hedgehog and his allies, to punish Knuckles for humiliating him.

## History

### Anime

Yan and his gang, The Bruiser Boys, make a brief appearance in the anime during episode 17, "The Adventures of Knuckles and Hawk". After Knuckles meets the gang in a bar while looking for Hawk, he nearly initiates a fight until Yan enters the place and tells Knuckles that he knows where Hawk is. Knuckles follows him, only to fall into a jail cell where Hawk is also trapped. However, they find out that Yan is eavesdropping on their conversation with a hidden microphone inside the cell. The two quickly start up a general conversation which eventually leads to Knuckles yelling at the microphone, causing Yan to fall off his chair. Irritated, he goes to their cell, only to discover that Knuckles dug a way out for him and Hawk to escape. Yan isn't seen again afterwards. He is voiced by Toshihiko Nakajima in the Japanese version.

### Archie Comics

Yan appears as a S.O.N.I.C.X. member on Issue 23, after the group captures Sonic and takes him to their hideout in Prison Island. He reveals to Sonic that he wants revenge against Knuckles for humiliating him, but Sonic dismisses them and escapes. Yan's gang tries to stop Sonic, but he outruns them easily and manages to escape.

Yan briefly reappears on Issue 25 as one of the many members shooting Dr. Kai Narasu's final Sonic clone, mistaking it for the original. All of his other appearances after that are reduced to cameos.

## Personality

Yan's greatest characteristic is his intimidation factor, which relies on his size and strength. He is known to be a short-tempered thug who is really proud of his position, but this all changed after Knuckles and Hawk came in. His pride was hurt and his "honor" shattered, causing him to create a revenge against the duo. When he is not angry, Yan is usually a serious, but still fearsome individual, keeping a straight face wherever he goes.

## Trivia

* Li Yan holds many unique traits among the other members of S.O.N.I.C.X.
	+ He is the only member whose revenge is not towards Sonic, but Knuckles. His aggression towards Sonic is a way to indirectly hurt Knuckles, or so he claims.
	+ He is the only member without any relations with the government or G.U.N.
	+ He is the only group member which can truly be considered a criminal even before he lost his credibility.
	+ He is the only group member from another part of the world. In the anime, Yan comes from a small Chinese suburb, and he speaks with a Chinese accent.

**Maria Robotnik** (マリア・ロボトニック, *Maria Robotonikku*?) is a character that appears in *Sonic X*. She was a young human, and the granddaughter of Professor Gerald Robotnik and cousin of Doctor Eggman. She was Shadow the Hedgehog's only close companion.

## History

### Anime

Maria was a terminally-ill patient on the Space Colony ARK, who had contracted a disease. During time onboard the ARK, Maria became close friends with Shadow the Hedgehog, the result of Project Shadow. Maria was shot and killed during the invasion of the ARK by GUN, after releasing Shadow from a cryogenic tube in the Japanese version. However, in the English dub, they say she was taken away.

## Personality

Maria was a very kind individual human, who always thought about others before herself. This is proven by the fact that after she was shot and was dying, she did not hold any ill will towards the people living on Earth and in her dying breath she requested Shadow to give them a chance for their future and that in doing so they will live very blessed lives and that was the reason that he was created.

## Trivia

* In the Japanese version, it is explained why Maria is in space because her disease is contagious and could be deadly if allowed to spread.
* Christopher Thorndyke and Molly both remind Shadow of Maria because of their similar selfless natures and the kind, loving look in their eyes.

The kids weren't so sure about Mister Stewart at first until Episode 32, when they started to display a likeness to him. But to his irritation, he was given a new alias and assignment- to pose as a News Director and investigate Project Shadow -in the episode immediately following.

In the Chaos Emerald Tournament, Mister Stewart was no match for Sam Speed, but Sam started before they rang the starting bell, causing Stewart to win the battle by default. In the finals, Scarlet Garcia recognized him as the News Director she helped during the *Sonic Adventure 2* adaptation, so he forfeited his match with Lucky saying "My cover has been BLOWN!"

## Personality

Stewart is not without sentimental emotions, as he does care for Chris too. In Episode 4, Chris had fallen and Mr. Stewart turned his car into a mattress and was about to save him, until Sonic came into the rescue to save him. Stewart also comes over to Chris's house for dinner, though that was probably more for the sake of gathering information for the government concerning whether or not Sonic and his friends really were living at Thorndyke Manor. It is interesting to note that there is no real reason to believe that Stewart is even his real name, as evidenced by Scarlet Garcia's comment at the end of Season 2; "I still haven't figured out who you really are."

## Powers and abilities

Mister Stewart is skilled at hand-to-hand combat, being able to defeat several trained human agents single-handed. He is also good at basketball; he says he was an alternate on the practice squad back when he was in College. However in the Japanese version, he just states that he was good at the sport back in the day.

## Trivia

* Mister Stewart is a fan of Chris' mother, Lindsey Thorndyke.
* Mister Stewarts's English voice actor, Andrew Rannells, also voices Decoe in the English dub.
* Mister Stewart apparently has a crush on reporter Scarlet Garcia.
Forest Hill

Knuckles and E-77 Lucky in Forest Hill.

**Forest Hill** is a location that appears in the anime series *Sonic X*. It is a forested area where Eggman took shelter in for some time.

## History

### Anime

#### Chaos Emerald Saga

At some point, Eggman went into hiding in Forest Hill, although Knuckles would find him and his Egg Fort II there.

Later on, Knuckles and Chris went to Forest Hill to negotiate with Eggman in cooperating with Sonic in order for them to return to their home world. Eggman agreed, but on the condition that he held onto the six Chaos Emeralds they had. However, it turned out to be another trick of Eggman's, who quickly dropped Knuckles and Chris out of his ship upon getting the Chaos Emeralds. Sonic soon after arrived on the scene in order to stop the meeting, but was too late to stop Eggman from taking the Emeralds.

Rouge, Topaz, and a handful of other GUN personnel had also arrived in an attempt to procure the Chaos Emeralds, though this plan was ultimately fruitless.

The **Guardian Units of the Nations,** also abbreviated as **GUN** or **G.U.N.**, is an organisation that appears in the anime series *Sonic X* and its comic series. It is a military organization, affiliated with the President, armed with their expertise in warfare in order to protect humanity and maintain peace on Earth.

## History

### Anime

#### Early history

Around fifty years prior to the events of *Sonic X*, GUN was called to deploy troops to Space Colony ARK in order to stop Project Shadow, a research project led by Professor Gerald Robotnik that aimed to create the "Ultimate Lifeform" because the government deemed it as a threat. They apprehended most of the researchers (except for Gerald, who would be taken to Prison Island to be sentenced to execution) and stopped their research projects, sealing the prototype of the Ultimate Lifeform away in the ARK. Maria, who attempted to release the completed Ultimate Lifeform (Shadow), was also killed. GUN would later shut down the ARK for the next fifty years.

#### New World Saga

Following the arrival of Sonic the Hedgehog, his friends and Dr. Eggman, GUN grew suspicious of the new inhabitants and in particular, Dr. Eggman, for his world domination schemes.

## Bases

### Area 99

*Main article: Area 99*
Area 99 is the first military base as well as a research facility. Its first experiment was to examine the captured Cream and Cheese although Sonic rescued them from the facility.

## Trivia

* In the English dub of *Sonic X*, G.U.N. is not referred to as such in the whole series. This is most likely due to "GUN" sounding similar to gun as in the projectile weapon. However, "G.U.N." is still mentioned in the brief synopsis of some Australian Sonic X Volume DVD covers which had episodes that G.U.N. appeared in.

Hyper Tornado

The **Hyper Tornado** is a transformation of Tails' Tornado 2 biplane in *Sonic X*. Chuck Thorndyke secretly upgraded the plane for Tails as a farewell gift to him, the plane is somewhat faster than the X Tornado but about the same size as it. As seen in its first appearance, when Tails was attacking the Grand Egg Imperial, the plane has lasers beside the cockpit, seven missile launchers in front of the cockpit and a plasma blast that is fired from the plane's nose.

Throught the third season, The Hyper Tornado was piloted by Chris Thorndyke, who used the plane to aid Sonic and his friends and give Sonic a variety of shoe-based powerups.

## Description

Some statistics on the plane are that it has two air intakes that have two corresponding jet engines that propell the plane at speeds beyond Mach 3 at max speed, however the plane does not use its max speed in the series but goes only in between Mach 1 and Mach 2. It has radar equipped that goes down to the ten thousandth's place (decimal) for the distance of an object in any measuring unit it's configured to detect. The Hyper Tornado also is equipped with a special weapons rack that allows for use of one of a kind weapons. The plane has a length of about 12.5 meters and a wingspan of about seven meters, height is near five meters with landing the gear down.

The plane's cockpit is made from a special material that withstands almost any attack thrown at it, providing extra protection for Tails or whoever is flying the plane. It was nearly destroyed along with Tails by the Grand Egg Imperial's special homing missile, but the missile was destroyed by Super Sonic who proceeded to destroy the Grand Egg Imperial.

## Trivia

* Throughout Series 3, the Hyper Tornado is commonly mistaken for the X Tornado.

Operation Duplicate

**Operation Duplicate** is an event that appears in the anime series *Sonic X*. It was a project carried out by the Metarex to duplicate the power of the Chaos Emeralds.

## History

### Anime

#### Metarex Saga

Operation Duplicate was started by the Metarex and involved the production of artificial Chaos Emeralds as a part of the Metarex' plans for their universe-encompassing forestation project. Using real Chaos Emeralds, the Metarex were able to make hundreds of replicas with nearly identical powers and divide them between their forces. The process was flawed, however, as the Emeralds produced were frail and would eventually burn out.

While looking for a Chaos Emerald, Tails and Cosmo discovered an Emerald factory on a distant planet and stole both information on Operation Duplicate and the real Chaos Emerald. Sonic later came across a bunch of fake Emeralds which briefly turned him into Dark Sonic.

Howard Watcher

**Howard Watcher** is a minor character in the anime series *Sonic X* and its comic series published by Archie Comics. He was the chief watcher of Prison Island, tasked with the vigilance of Sonic the Hedgehog's cell when he was arrested, but after Amy Rose broke him out of his prison, Watcher lost his credibility and was fired from his position. This caused him to join the S.O.N.I.C.X. organization, in order to get his revenge on Sonic and his friends for making him lose his job.

## History

### Anime

Watcher is seen on the anime during Episode 35, "Sonic's Big Break". As in the comics, he is charged with watching over Sonic's cell, and after Amy manages to reach him to get him out (only to figure out Sonic could escape by himself), Shadow the Hedgehog and Rouge the Bat are detected invading the prison as well. Watcher sends improved G.U.N. robots after each, but Sonic and Amy leave the building while he's evil and mercy a robot in the security area, which initiates a detonation sequence around the island. Watcher, he's officials present at the time, evacuated the island in helicopters before it explodes.

### Archie Comics

Watcher is introduced as a S.O.N.I.C.X. member along with the others in Issue 23, where the group captures Sonic to try and attack him directly. After he mocks their group's name, believing it to be a fan-club, he easily escapes them. He is again seen on Issue 25, when he's bad guy and the other members shoot a final Sonic clone created by Dr. Narasu to attack the original Sonic, mistaking it for Sonic himself. Watcher, along with the other members, appears in following issues, but is never seen from important for the plot aside from a few commentaries, being one of the few members to do so.

## Personality

Watcher is, much like the other members of the group, arrogant and proud of his profession, and after the loss of his job hurt his pride, he also became obsessed with destroying Sonic out of revenge. Watcher can be very loud and over-the-top when doing his job, and thanks to his perfect record, he is really dedicated to not letting anyone escape prison under his supervision. Thanks to Sonic, it was laid to waste along with his job.

## Trivia

* The surname "Watcher" is an obvious reference to his job.
* Watcher is one of the members of S.O.N.I.C.X. to almost have no role on the overall plot of the comics, despite claiming he wants to destroy Sonic.

Gun Beetle

A swarm of Gun Beetles.

The **Gun Beetle** is a character that appears in the anime series *Sonic X*. It is a mass-produced robot model created and deployed by the military organization Guardian Units of the Nations following the Perfect Chaos incident.

## Appearance

The Gun Beetles resemble grey balls with blue outlines and armor on the front. On top of them, they have a sharp blue cap with a red-striped edge which is emblazed with GUN's symbol and the number "01". Below this cap, reaching from just behind the edge of their front armor to far behind their back, they have a horizontal turbine disk with a red and blue-striped frame. On their "face", they also have a single lens. In addition, they come equipped with a thin red gun barrel on their bottom and box-shaped magazines on their lower rear.

## History

### Anime

#### Shadow Saga

Following Perfect Chaos' attack on Station Square, the Gun Beetles were constructed by GUN upon clearance from the President to combat the threat of Dr. Eggman. Supposedly, the Gun Beetles' design were derived from the studies of the E-Series robots that the government had gotten a hold of. Unbeknownst to GUN however, data on the Gun Beetles were hacked by Eggman.

When Sonic the Hedgehog had been framed by Shadow the Hedgehog for the theft of a Chaos Emerald, a swarm of Gun Beetles were sent to apprehend Sonic. Once they found him, however, they proved no match for the blue hedgehog. Prison Island also had its own Gun Beetle squadron which was unleashed against Eggman during his second invasion of the island. However, they were all unable to stop Eggman, who easily held them off while his plans were carried out.

With Sonic and his allies still on large a few days later, more Gun Beetles would engage Sonic and Knuckles in the city. However, the duo escaped while their allies distracted the robots.

#### Homebound Saga

Eventually, the leader of Prison Island sent troops of GUN robots, including the Gun Beetles, to attack Dr. Eggman in a final bit to kill the doctor, but they were all gotten rid of by the latter's Grand Egg Imperial.

## Powers and abilities

The Gun Beetles are capable of flight and can more fast enough to keep up with even Sonic. With their cannons, they can fire yellow lasers powerful enough to cause small explosions upon impact.
