== Plot ==
Three weeks after Infinite used his Phantom Ruby prototype to atomize half of all life in the multiverse, Blaze the Cat brings Sonic the Hedgehog to Resistance HQ After the outcome of the war, Sonic has gone on a self-imposed exile out of grief and wanted to starve to death. and reunites him with remaining members of the Resistance - Silver the Hedgehog, Miles "Tails" Prower, Amy Rose, Shadow the Hedgehog, Rouge the Bat, and Knuckles the Echidna. Locating Infinite in a desolated village due to a powerful surge of Chaos Emerald's energy, they ambush him to retake the emeralds and restore the world to normal, but Infinite reveals he destroyed the emeralds and his prototype to prevent their further use. Enraged, Shadow tries to kill Infinite, but the Resistance stops him. As they leave, however, Infinite realizes that they want to undo his work and "taint his squad's memory". Infinite then breifly wants to make his move, but decides to lay low for some time instead, wanting the Resistance to swallow in grief.
Eight years later in, Classic Sonic suddenly appears in Modern Sonic's dimension At the Resistance HQ, he explains (through a special device) to Tails and Amy that the his dimension's Chaos Emeralds has instructed him to once again go to their world to help prevent a "terrible event". Tails then remembers that he's got a project he needs to finish, prompting him to quickly leave, much to Amy's suspicion. 
Taking Classic Sonic's appearance as a sign to take the initiative, the Resistance begins to brainstorm for ideas, trying to find a solution to their situation. Eventually, they decide that they need to assemble their team first and start to search for them. The first one to be found is Espio the Chameleon, who became a violent vigilante following the atomization of the Chaotix and was killing any criminals that survived the cataclysm. With some persauding, Amy is able to bring him in. Amy then calls Tails and they visit Windmill Village to recruit Knuckles, who has become heavily depressed with his faliure to lead the Resistance. Tails also repairs Gemerl, allowing him to join the Resistance. Lastly, Tails calls in Sonic, who arrives at the HQ shortly after. 
Three days later, after almost everyoneExcluding Blaze, as she had briefly returned to her dimension to help to deal with the damage there. is brought together, Tails reveals that he had built a time machine running on the power of the Wisps, the Hyper-go-on, to try to bring the Chaos Emeralds from their past into their present and bring everyone back. Believing himself to be expendable, Espio volunteers for the first time travel test. While preparing Espio, Tails notes to everyone that changing the past does not affect their present; any changes instead create branched alternate realities. Espio then is transported to the Chaotix Detective Agency's office in the past. from where he manages to bring a newspaper, proving the test to be a success.
Meanwhile in his vilage, Infinite reviews the Resistance's progress. Infuriated with them having still found a way to ruin his work, Infinite decides to finally take action, intending to pull Shadow, Metal Sonic, Zavok and Chaos from different time points in the past. Infinite then wows to finish off the Resistance.
Gaining a small victory, the Resistance then proceeds with next phase of preparation: determining the location of each Chaos Emeralds in the past. This proves to be a challenge, as they possess a scarce supply of Hyper-go-on to operate with and no means of replenishing it due to half of the Wisps vanishing.
As the team discusses their past encounters with the Chaos Emeralds, they manage to recall the location of all of the Emeralds: the red one was in Metropoils, the green one was kept in Central City, the yellow, turquoise, and purple ones were in Station Square, and white and blue ones were in the Capital City's main vault.While it wasn't shown in Sonic: War to Take Back the Planet, Eggman had already acquired two Chaos Emeralds by the time The Ninth Shaft happened and stored them in a vault for their further use. With their targets located, the Resistance splits into four teams: Classic Sonic to Metropolis, Espio and Silver to Central City, Tails, Gemerl and Amy to Station Square, and Sonic, Shadow, and Knuckles to Capital City.
In 1992 Metropolis, Classic Sonic struggles with the facility's defenses as he crosses it to find the red Chaos Emerald. Midway through, he finds his 1992 self, who picks up a fight with him. After a short while, 1992 Classic Sonic accidentally triggers the facility's destruction. Fortunately, 2025 Classic Sonic saves him and retrieves the emerald. Meanwhile, Espio and Silver time jump to Central City in 2001, where Silver incapitates the guards of the national reserve bank and Espio takes the emerald. Meanwhile, Tails, Gemerl and Amy travel to 1999 Station Square and disperse to find the Chaos Emeralds. Gemerl goes to Big and convinces him to give him his yellow Chaos Emerald, Tails steals the purple one from his past self, and Amy recieves the turquoise one by using varied song notes and bars to ask Birdie to give her the emerald. The three then travel back.to their own time.
Meanwhile, Sonic, Shadow, and Knuckles time travel to Capital City; unfortunately, they arrive at the time point when "The Ninth Shaft" operation was commencing. Although a large army of Badniks ambushes them when they arrive at the vault, they still manage to claim the emeralds. However, just as Sonic and Knuckles return to the present, Shadow is incapacitated by 2001 Shadow, who brings him to the present's Final Fortress to infinite. Infinite sends 2001 Shadow to the present in Shadow's place. After that, Infinite goes to the Eggman Empire Fortress in 2017, slaughters the Resistance that was attacking it at the moment, and returns to 2025 with 2017 Sonic's severed head.
Reuniting in the present, the Resistance takes a little respite before Sonic channels the emeralds' energy and reverses the atomizations. Suddenly, 2001 Shadow reveals himself and alerts Infinite, who then comes and obliterates the Resistance HQ. After the attack, Present Shadow escapes from the airship and encounters 2001 Shadow in the access tunnels of the HQ, fighting Espio. Shadow fails to convince him to switch sides and is forced to kill him. Meanwhile, Sonic, Tails, Knuckles and Amy confront Infinite, who presents then with 2018 Sonic's severed head and fights them. Despite the four's fighting prowess, Infinite thrashes them and summons his Badniks army. As Sonic prepares to take them on all alone, multiple Super Ring portals open and the restores heroes (and even Chaos) arrive, soon after starting a humongous battle. 
In the battle, Sonic with his friends plays "hot potato" to keep the Chaos Emeralds out of Infinite's hands. Eventually, Infinite gets tired of the games and orders an airstrike on the battlefield, forcing Silver to put up a large forcefield. Infinite starts weakening the forcefield with his attacks, also weakening Silver in the process. Relief comes in form of Blaze, now in her Burning form, who single-handedly destroys the Final Fortress and ends the airstrike while a baffled Infinite looks on.
Infinite quickly composes himself and starts to hunt down Blaze, who is given the Chaos Emeralds to guard. Even with the entire Resistance trying to protect her, Infinite ultimately confronts her, but finds himself overpowered. Annoyed by Blaze's persistence, Infinite uses his Phantom Ruby prototype to knock her away from him before oveclocking the prototype once again, planning to restart the universe in Eggman's image. However, Sonic manages to pry the prototype and uses it to atomize Infinite and the Badniks' army, but at the cost of his own life. As he dies with a devastated Tails. Knuckles and Amy by his side, every hero present on the battlefield takes a knee to honor Sonic.
Following Sonic's death, Amy decides to continue his legacy by reforming the Resistance into an organization called Restoration to help the world recover from the war, with Tails and Knuckles joining in. Shadow takes it upon himself to return the Chaos Emeralds to their separate timelines. While preparing the time machine, Tails notes that Shadow can return to Maria and live a happy life with her before sending him through time, expecting him to do it. To his surprise, Shadow comes back, telling Tails that he needs to "fix everything". While confused, Tails nonetheless is happy to see that Shadow won't abandon them. The heroes then unite in "Restoration HQ", a little cabin in the woods, and start to talk about their future and joke with each other.
