[a clip of the end of the previous episode is on a blue screen]
MM: How is the plan going?
JOE: Echo is currently flying above the Hero Garden.
MM: Excellent.
JOE: When he finally does it, will he return to normal?
[His World Zebrahead mix (not the normal one) slowly fades in]
MM: To tell you the truth... I'm not sure.
[the two laugh as the theme continues]

Dark Chao Adventures

[a clip of Shade swim-racing against Chao (Episode 1) as the word "Shade" appears in big letters]
Shade: (Voice-over from another scene in E1) I think I can do it.

[a clip of Dark at EBGames buying Sonic R (Episode 5) as the word "Dark"... you know]
Dark: (VA other scene E5) Dark Kills All Hero Chao 2?

[Chao dancing terribly (Episode 9) and the works]
Chao: (VA yaddayadda) Let's see you dance, dork!

[Tail running to the Tails Doll (Episode 13) ...]
Tail: (VA ...) Ooh! A Tails Doll!

[Metal Sonic playing poker (Episode 6) ...]
MS: (you know) And I need a pathetic mortal as a slave for eternity!

[Mephiles speaking to the Darks (Episode 10) ...]
Mp: (VA) I am Mephiles. And I have a proposition to make to you.

[the others quickly flash on to the screen, the mix ends dramatically]

SEASON 5- Sure, It's Not Epic, But At Least It's Back To Its Roots!

Episode 37: Prophecy of a Journey

[the story begins in the Neutral Garden, camera pans on the waterfall]
Chapter 1: We Miss You
Chao (not that Chao) (Voice-over): Will I never find happiness again?
[camera pans on the waterfall, different angle]
Chao (VO): I don't think so. I only found happiness when he was around...
[camera pan on the blue sky]
Chao (VO): Cham... we ALL miss you... come back to us.
[pan on the rocks by the waterfall]
Chao (VO): I feel sad to say... the Neutral Garden... has almost fallen.
[camera zoom-in on a "teenager" Dark chao (just turned Dark), he's normal with a frown on his face]
Chao (VO): The only reason it's still alive is because I'm here... the guardian... of the Neutral Garden.
[close-up on his face]
Chao (VO): ..I miss my father. I miss my, uh... other father. But, I can't go back. Not now.
MSp: Good day to you.
[the Dark chao jumps in surprise, turns around, and sees Metal Speedy]
Chao: What? Don't I... know you?
MSp: I'm afraid we were simply in the same timeline, but we still crave one thing.
Chao: What's that?
MSp: Attention.
Chao: *sigh* Yes... I dearly miss my father(s)... I miss Cham... I miss ALL the chao here.
MSp: I understand. You went away just as my time began, correct?
Chao: I didn't, actually... I was taken for a walk here, but they left me. Forgot me. I grew up here, and hid from all chao.
MSp: Well, I was forgotten, too. By that infuriating Shade!
[Metal Speedy takes a look at the chao, who has an uncertain look on his face]
MSp: Ah, I know who you are. You... don't HATE Shade, do you?
Chao: Of... of course I do. I just... don't... show it.
[Metal Speedy realizes what he's doing, and decides to play along]
MSp: So, you really HATE Shade, correct? You wish to bring him down? ...doesn't everyone...
Chao: Wh...what should I do?
MSp: Wait until their 'Uncle' takes him for another walk, then BRING HIM DOWN.
Chao: O...okay. By the way... who are you?
MSp: I am Metal Speedy, a Cyber chao. DJ invented Cyber and Rebel chao to help the plot, but he forgot BOTH.
Chao: Rebel chao... that rings a bell...
MSp: Enough about me, tell me YOUR name.
Chao: ...I'd...rather...not....
MSp: I understand. Say, do you wish to join the Beta Avengers?
[cut to the Dark Garden, Shade is on the laptop (from Episode 11) at the Smash Brothers Dojo]
Shade: Whoa... Dark, c'mere!
Dark: Yeah?
Shade: Were you wondering where Mister Sonic went all this time?
Dark: Kinda...
Shade: Well, he went to the world of Smash. The lucky hedgehog.
Dark: Cool! The world of Smash, the happiest place in Nintendo!
[Uncle Shadow comes in]
Sh: Hey, Shade! Wanna go for a walk?
Shade: Ohboyohboyohboyohboyohboy! Yes, please!
Dark: Ooh! Ooh! Me! ME! Take me with you!
Sh: *chuckle* Okay, Dark. You can come, too.
DH: Shade, before you go, I wanna ask you... what happened to your 'son'?
Shade: What son? When did I have a son?
DH: Season 1.
Me: Dark-Hawk, ix-nay, kay-o-ay?
DH: Wha? Oh, right. I'll shut up now.
[Uncle Shadow takes Shade and Dark to the Neutral Garden]
Sh: Pretty nice here, isn't it?
Shade: *sigh* Yeah...
Dark: Shade, what's wrong?
Shade: Oh, it's just what Dark-Hawk said...
Dark: About your son?
Shade: MY son? He's YOUR son, too.
Dark: *sniff* Yeah... I miss him.
Chao (not that Chao): You miss me? REALLY?
[Shade and Dark look around and see the Teenaged Dark chao]
Chapter 2: Family Reunion
Shade: Is... is it really you, Shade Junior?
SJR: Dad...
Shade: Son!
[Shade runs up to hug Shade Jr, but he looks nervous]
Shade: What's wrong?
SJR: Um... Dad... no, SHADE. Shade, this isn't easy to say, but...
Shade: Just spill it. I promise I'll understand!
SJR: I'm becoming a Beta Avenger.
[Shade slaps Shade Jr]
SJR: OW! Whaddja do THAT for?
Shade: GO TO YOUR ROOM!
Dark: And no dessert!
SJR: I'm not taking orders from you anymore, Shade. From now on, I am known as...
[zoom-in on his face]
SJR: Drohendes Unheil! I shall send you to the Perdition in an instant!
Shade: Calm down with the other languages, Unheil...
DU: I am working with the one you call 'Metal Speedy,' who I call 'Bunuh.'
Shade: Wait, so you're Doom, working with Kill to send me to Eternal Damnation?
DU: Pretty much, yeah, if you wanna translate.
Dark: I hate other languages...
DU: By the way, Bunuh taught me how to do THIS...
[Unheil points at the ground and lightning strikes it, Shade, Dark, and Uncle Shadow run off]
DU: See that, Bunuh? They ran off! I'm scary!
MSp: Nice, Drohendes. Say, uh... could you call me Pembunuh from now on?
DU: Sure thing! That means 'Murderer,' right?
Pm: Yes, it does. Keep this up, and we, the Beta Avengers, will be unstoppable and all have codenames!
DU: I've got a codename for the BA! "A Veteran's Beg"!
Pm: Ooh, anagrams! I like you, Drohendes.
DU: And you'll like me even more when you hear an anagram for 'Metal Speedy'.... 'Sealed Empty'!
Pm: That... that's pretty awesome.
[Pembunuh communicates somehow with the MILKMAN]
MM: Yeah?
Pm: Ready. Commence Operation: Garland Lord He Stets Ye.
MM: Okay.
[cut to the Hero Garden, Chao is sitting in front of the fountain, trying to meditate]
Speedy: Chao! Chao! Quick, the Darks are coming!
Chao: Grrr.... trying to meditate here... wait, WHAT!?
[Chao hops onto his feet and prepares]
[Shade and Dark run in]
Shade: Listen to me, Chao... we found Shade Jr.... after all these years.
Chao: So, why are you not there talking to him?
Shade: He joined the Beta Avengers.
[Chao spaces out for a second]
Chao: That...... is not.... good...
Shade: I swear, Chao... those Beta Avengers are up to something.
Dark: What makes you say that?
Shade: Well, the Daleks, Chao Talk, the factory, Metal Speedy, Echo, and now this!
Chao: You may be on to something, Shade...
[Pembunuh marches in]
Pm: Attention all losers... I, Pembunuh, am announcing the newest member of A Veteran's Beg... Adjoin Usher!
[Shade Junior comes in]
AU: Adjoin Usher... I like that. An anagram... thanks.
Chao: 'A Veteran's Beg'?
AU: It's, uh... an anagram for 'Beta Avengers.'
Shade: Well, it fits.
Chapter 3: Operation Garland Lord He Stets Ye
AU: And I am here to announce YOUR DOOM.
[the chao start listening]
AU: Just like in 'The Ring,' YOU WILL DIE IN SEVEN DAYS. However, this time, it's not because of a girl.
Dark: Is it because of a chao?
AU: The answer's both yes... AND no.
Shade: Enough Mephiles quotes, Shade Jr, just tell us!
AU: You may have noticed the deadly Echo flying above this garden.
Tail: Yeah, we're all getting tired of him.
AU: Well, he won't exactly KILL you all, more or less he'll weaken you. Then... ohhoho! You will die of a more LETHAL cause.
Buddy: Out with it, already!
SB: Yeah, can't you tell we're getting bored?
AU: ...That's it. I'm not saying the lethal cause of death, it's all up to the prophecied one to figure out.
Shade: I swear, if he says it's me, I'm gonna--
AU: SHADE is the prophecied one!
[Shade screams]
Shade: Why can't it ever be SOMEONE ELSE!? It's always ME! Hero Chaos, I am so SICK AND TIRED of being the only one who actually DOES anything around here, while you guys act like the background characters you are!
[Shade pouts and rants]
AU: ...Aren't you guys gonna do something?
Chao: Eh, we zone him out. So, why Shade, anyway?
AU: I dunno, something about Chaos driving a car, I didn't catch the specifics.
Pm: Okay, FINE, I'll explain the specifics.
[Read closely, some things foreshadow others]
Pm: First, in order to recieve the Chaos Drives, Shade must traverse through deadly portals to deadlier worlds...
Dark: (to Chao) He's gonna go to Aperture Science...
Pm: Well, yeah, but not for a while. Anyway, he'll have to do some dangerous things just to get the Chaos Drives.
Dark: Like facing Nihilanth?
Pm: Yeah, like facing your mother.
Heroes: OHHHHHHH!!!
Tail: Burn!
Pm: Once he has all eight Chaos Drives, he will turn into a Dark/Swim chao like he did while facing the clones, although this time he'll be like that permanently.
Dark: He'll be able to beat Chao in swimming races TWICE as fast!
Pm: Yeah, just like how I beat your mother. ...PERIOD.
Heroes: OHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!
Tail: You, good sir, just been served!
Pm: Then, he must face MILKMAN. But, it's guaranteed he won't win.
Dark: Yeah, just like how I won. ...Your mom.
Heroes: OHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!
Tail: He shoots...
Dark: ...and scored your mom.
Tail: AND BURNS! Ohhh!!!
Pm: Stop copying me. Anyway, goodbye, losers.
[the two leave]
Shade: ..and ANOTHER THING--
Chao: Shade, you can calm down now.
Shade: ...sorry. What'd I miss?
Chao: You have to get eight Chaos Drives from deadly worlds in seven days, then must kill the MILKMAN.
[Shade faints]
Dark: ...
Chao: ...
Tail: ...THIS IS BORING!
[the chao wonder how Shade will do this as the camera pans the skies, showing Echo flying around]
Echo: SCREEEEEEEEEEEEECH!!
Chapter 4: A Black Letter Day
[later, in the Dark Garden, Shade is worrying when Shadow comes in with a letter]
Shadow: Lord Shade! A letter came for you!
Shade: Hmm...

Dark: Wait, we still have three more episodes this season!
Me: Don't worry, I'll think of something.
[cut to ZIM's lab]
ZIM: WHAT!? You want ME, the GREAT and ALL-POWERFUL ZIM, to assist YOU in your puny little chao antics!?
Me: Yeah... want to?
ZIM: Yeah, sure, why not? Come, GIR! The Dark Garden awaits!
GIR: Will they have taquitos?
ZIM: ...Yes, GIR. They will have taquitos.
GIR: WHEEEEEEE!!!
