At the beginning of the story, Sonic is confronting his nemesis, Dr. Eggman, on Eggman's flagship. Eggman then activated the ships defense systems, activating the cannons and bringing forth a horde of Egg Fighters. After seeing the obstacles, Sonic boosted forward and began dodging the batteries fired from the cannons. bounding across the flagship, Eggman brought forth his Mech and unleashed a flurry of machine gun fire. After running across the ceiling while dodging missiles, Sonic ran through the Flagship's hallway. Eggman fired his Mech's grappling hook-like arm and grabbed Sonic. 
After being pulled to Eggman in the Mech's grasp, Sonic summoned the Chaos Emeralds from within himself and became Super Sonic in order to stop him, destroying Eggman's mech, Eggman fled in his Egg Mobile and fled from his Flagship. After chasing Eggman through space and destroying half of his fleet, they finally arrived at Eggman's Research Facility and knocking Eggman himself to the ground. As a trap, Eggman pretends to plead for mercy. When Sonic is close enough, he activates the Chaos Energy Cannon, which traps Sonic in the centre and begins drawing the Chaos energy out of Sonic and the Emeralds in a fashion that is clearly extremely painful for him. After the weapon is charged, Eggman fires a laser at the Earth to wake a monster known as Dark Gaia, splitting the planet. The dark energy of the Emeralds is brought out by the ray, transforming Sonic into a monstrous version of himself and rendering the Chaos Emeralds gray and powerless. Eggman then opens an airlock which sucks Sonic and the drained Emeralds out into space and down to Earth.

Since he is lacking a body, Yomi offers his as a temporary substitute until they can retrieve Dark Gaia's original one. The only threat to Dark Gaia's plan is a priestess named known as Mai Chen, and the counterpart of Light Gaia, those who have the ability to seal his spirit away once more. He raises a stone army from their slumber to attack the rest of the world while his four subordinates go to eliminate Mai and Light Gaia. They are given special chakra creatures to enhance their strength. While Sonic is saved from a fatal landing due to an unknown energy source, he still ends up taking a heavy fall. After pulling himself out of the dirt, Sonic encounters a flying dog-like creature. Sonic then asks the creature what his name was and the creature couldn't remember his own name or history (which Sonic thinks he landed on him, causing the memory loss). Sonic agrees to help Chip restore his memory during their journey.

With their plan to restore the planet working, Sonic saw this adventure as a great opportunity to see the world. Max Dillon, now obsessively assuming that he and Spider-Man are best friends due to the compliment he made, attends work on his birthday as an electrician at Oscorp. Whilst performing maintenance on some malfunctioning equipment (presumably placed deliberately), he is badly electrocuted, loses his balance, and falls into a tank of electric eels being used for experiments. The eels attack him with so much electricity that the glass shatters and as a result, he becomes a human mass of electricity. In Italy, Sonic and Chip run into Amy at night, who doesn't recognize Sonic in his Werehog form. He later saves Amy from Dark Gaia's influence and she, upon learning her savior's identity, decides to help Sonic and Professor Pickle. At the party, T.J. meets Luna and her father, whom T.J. notices is bearing a strange symbol around his neck.
He talks with Elphias Doge, an elderly wizard and friend of Doctor Strange's who wrote an obituary in The Daily Prophet about him. They are joined by Dan's Aunt, informing him of several unknown facts about Gaia Temples. He also hears of Bathilda Bagshot, a celebrated wizard historian who lives in Godric's Hollow.

Chip decided to take a picture of the group with their camera which exorcized the townspeople, freeing them from Dark Gaia's Minions. After Sonic destroyed the monsters, he quickly left with Chip before Amy could get a good look at him. Regardless, Amy met Professor Pickle shortly after who told her everything, and Sonic confronted Amy with his condition. 
Meanwhile, Miles meets Phin in attempt to maintain a friendship, and she tells him that a job opportunity and scholarship at Oxford means she has to move to England. Before the two can discuss it, Max accidentally shuts off the power to Times Square whilst looking for electricity to power himself. Spider-Man arrives and attempts to calm the situation down, with Phin recognizing him from an encounter in an elevator; Max agrees, but after the police and a sniper try to shoot him, Max thinks that Spider-Man has betrayed him and attacks, destroying the buildings around. Spider-Man eventually stops him and he is taken to Oscorp to be tested on. Dryoid uses the Pillars to transport hundreds of concealed Decepticons from the Moon to Earth, which revert the Bakugan back to their original form.
The party is interrupted when Thanos' ship arrives and destroys the compound; the portal allows dozens of Dark Gaia's Minions which had remained hidden under the Moon's surface to reach Earth. Almost immediately, they arrive and set the tent aflame. The gang Apparates away, landing in Shaftesbury Avenue. During the night, Sonic and Chip entered Dragon Road to search for an elder, Zonshen, eventually finding him unconscious in front of the local Gaia Temple. When they tried to help him, however, the Dark Gaia Phoenix—the guardian of the Gaia Temple corrupted by Dark Gaia—attacked.
Sonic defeated the Dark Gaia Phoenix though, and he and Chip got access to the Gaia Temple, Chip used Zonshen's treasure to open it. Inside, Chip activated the Temple and Sonic placed the powerless red Chaos Emerald into the Temple's pedestal, restoring it's power and bringing Asia's continent back into place. Back outside, Sonic and Chip saw the Dark Gaia Phoenix had returned to normal and said goodbye to it, and Zonshen returns to Hong Kong. 
All the while, Dr. Eggman makes plans to reassemble Dark Gaia and finish Eggmanland. In Shaftesbury Avenue, the trio discovers the "Key to the Gaia temple. As it turns out, they only found the Europe key, the Antarctica key and a locket has been in the house. Knuckles goes with Fiona to find Wentos and bring him back and Marcus gives the Europe key to Sonic and Chip to open the door to Europe's Gaia Temple. Fabio begins to show symptoms of his illness and uses the device his father gave him to deduce that a Spider-Man's blood could help save him. He asks Miles for help finding him but Miles refuses, unsure of what effects the transfusion would have. Stewart and Chris sets out again, this time meeting with Karlenko, a Russian agent who is critically wounded by an assassin in front of him on a golf course.  
Stewart and Chris obtains the second key from the Russian and, before he dies, he tells Stewart about a conspiracy in which Vortex's members are discovered to be members of the KGB, CIA and even his beloved MI7. Meanwhile, T.J. has a vision of Red Skull finding Dr. Benedict, whom he interrogates, before killing. Knuckles and Fiona return with Wentos, who reveals that he has given the locket to Gilda. On the way to the Temple, Sonic was ambushed by the Egg Devil Ray, send to secure the Gaia Temple, but Sonic destroyed it. At the Temple, Chip activated it and Sonic placed the powerless blue Chaos Emerald into the Temple's pedestal, restoring its power and bringing Europe's continent back to its proper place. The teens use hologram watches to take on the appearance of business people and infiltrate the Ministry to retrieve the locket and the key. The gang is separated as Bruno and Dan must take care of Mary Cattermole, Reginald Cattermole's wife as well as an angry Yaxley; T.J. and Vince went to Dr. Silcer's office to search for two items, and Kamala follows Gilda to the courtroom where she is holding unfair trials for Muggle-borns. 
In the dusk of night, Sonic and Chip accessed the nearby area of the Gaia Temple, only to encounter Dark Moray, whom Sonic defeated. Inside the Temple, Chip activated it and Sonic placed the powerless cyan Chaos Emerald into the Temple's pedestal, restoring its power and bringing Antarctica's continent back to its proper place.
In his search, T.J. and Vince only find the files in Silcer's desk detailing the surveillance of their friends and their relatives. they later join the other two and they go down to the courtroom, where a large group of Dark Bat is being used to scare the Muggle-borns on trial into submission and Gilda is interrogating Mary. T.J., in a fit of rage, stuns Gilda. He quickly retrieves the locket with the key, and in the ensuing battle, Team Sonic existence is revealed to the world, who react with fear and hatred. The Young Avengers escape, but Frances and Danny are arrested. The gang successfully escapes the Ministry, Mai wakes up with a shock after seeing a vision of Sonic and his "death" by Dark Gaia's hand. When she opened her eyes, a strange and unknown dōjutsu was seen.  
Arriving in India, the gang tries to destroy the locket, but to no avail. They decide that they will search in New York for more Horcruxes and two more Gaia keys while taking turns wearing the locket. Soon, they realize that while wearing the locket, the wearer feels more angry, suspicious, fearful, and overall bad-tempered than normal. Dan is affected most particularly, and while wearing the locket he bitterly notices Bruno and Kamala spend a lot of time together and Marcus for not telling them about he destroyed the Infinity Stones and being honest with them. They begin to listlessly wander until they arrived in New York to stay for dinner.  
Simon Ambrose and Stewart dine together informing him that he knows a mole is present in CIA. Ambrose gets ready to gun down Stewart until it is discovered that he is actually unaware of the mole's identity. Tails tells the gang that Snitches have flesh memories. The Snitch can remember which person caught it, and it will only open to that person. He comes to realize why Nick Fury gave Ray a special clock. She tells him that the Magic Sword is Goblin-made, meaning that it does not retain rust or scratches, but it does imbibe any and all things that will make it stronger. They killed Naga four years ago with the sword, the sword is now impregnated with basilisk venom, one of the few rare substances that can destroy a Horcrux. This revelation causes Dan, who is wearing the locket, to snap.  
As the locket has increased Dan's increasing worry for his future and the fact that they have still not found three temples yet, he lashes out at T.J. and Marcus and abandons the team in the wilderness after Kamala is forced to pick Bruno over Dan. Stewart, unaware that Ambrose is the mole, hands Ambrose the key, as the two converse outside the restaurant, with Ambrose tricking Stewart into believing that fellow agent and inventor Patch Quartermain is the traitor, deluding him into thinking that Quartermain has always despised Stewart. After the latter departs, Ambrose tells MI7. that Stewart is a traitor. Miles visits Fabio again, this time as Spider-Man, but again refuses. Afterwards, Fabio is framed by members of the Roxxon Corporation board for covering up the accident involving Max Dillon, now known as Electro, and removed from his position as CEO.  
Clare is heartbroken by Dan's sudden departure and the gang attempts to cheer her up by dancing together and smiling. The next day, Miles ponders the Snitch. He presses his lips to it and writing appears: "I open at the close." He shows it to Clare, but they cannot make anything of the inscription nor can they make anything of the weird symbol Kamala found while perusing her copy of Richard Parker's Journal. They use information left behind by Peter Parker's father to locate the video message Richard left. In it, Richard explains that he had to leave New York because he wasn't willing to go along with Norman Osborn's plans to use what they had created for biological weapons for Madripoor. An employee informs Fabio of equipment kept off the books that could help him, and Fabio makes a deal with Electro to get him back into the Oscorp building. 
Stewart confronts Quartermain the following day in a London church building, as it is discovered that Stewart has been framed as a traitor. Surviving an assassination attempt courtesy of MI7 assassins positioned within the building, Stewart manages to hide from the MI7 gunmen and escapes MI7's clutches on Patch's hi-tech wheelchair. Stewart go to Suzy's house and convinces her that Stewart is not a traitor and that the organization Vortex is behind the assassination and that they were also in Chicago. Together they find out that Vortex is using a drug called timoxeline barbebutenol (restricted material) that allows people to be controlled for a brief time, before dying. They also find out that the three "keys" are needed to access the drug. After Suzy leaves her apartment with MI7 agent Simon Ambrose, the actual traitor, Stewart manage to evade the killer cleaner lady from Hong Kong. 
That night in Alaska, T.J. sits outside on guard when a silver doe deer lure him. He follows it to a small frozen pond, where it disappears. Investigating further, T.J. discovers the Magic Sword is at the bottom of the pond. He strips down and dives in to retrieve it without removing the Locket. Sensing the Sword, the Locket tries to strangle T.J. to prevent its destruction. However, T.J. is saved by Knuckles, Chris, Dan and Stewart, who also retrieves the Sword from the pool. T.J. proceeds to open the locket, which in turn liberates a dark force which attacks and isolates T.J., then trying to defend itself by producing illusions of Dan's fears and anguishes, including one in which Bruno and Kamala show pure and complete despise towards him before engaging in a passionate kiss. Although reluctant and emotionally affected by the locket's illusions, Dan ultimately destroys it with the use of the Sword.  
They return to the tent, where Clare grows increasingly angry at Dan for having the audacity to return. Dan reveals that Strange's Deluminator not only collects and removes light sources, but it also guided him back to his friends, conveniently when T.J. was being strangled by the locket. Having both the Gate and the Key, Mag Mel is very close to his resurrection.  
Miles then receives a voicemail message from Phin, telling him that she was offered the spot at the Univesity of Oxford and while preparing her luggage to move there earlier than expected. Miles manages to catch her by writing "I LOVE YOU" on the Bridge, and professes his love for Phin, and the two agree to go to England together. Soon, Helen proposes that they visit Xenophilius saying that he could explain the mysterious symbol, which has again cropped up in The Life and Lies of Doctor Strange. They visit the Lovegood House, where Fenwick, a formerly right-hand man of Dr. Benedict reveals that it is the symbol of the Deathly Hallows.  
Xenophilius prods them on to read The Tale of the Three Brothers, and they learn of the three Peverell brothers. He informs them of the Deathly Hallows which are revealed to be three legendary items featured in the story: the Nobel Key, the most powerful device in existence; the Resurrection Stone, a stone that can bring back the dead; and the Cloak of Invisibility, which conceals the wearer from sight. Whoever wields all three items will become the Master of Death. Xenophilius then intentionally triggers the taboo on Mag Mel's name as ransom for his foster daughter, whom the Death Eaters have captured. Sonic and Chip accessed the area of the Gaia Temple, only to be ambushed by Dark Guardian, whom Sonic defeated.  
Inside the Temple, Chip activated it and Sonic placed the powerless yellow Chaos Emerald into the Temple's pedestal, restoring its power and bringing Australia's continent back to its proper place. The gang successfully escapes back to the forest, where a group of Snatchers are waiting to capture them. Helen casts a Stinging Jinx on T.J., after which he envisions Red Skull interrogating Dr. Benedict at the prison. Benedict tells him that the Ultron armor lies with Phil and Red Skull leaves. They are captured as they discover a car is a disguise for Soundwave, who takes Helen captive. Chad Dickson instructs Burno to ask Sonic about not giving up, otherwise, the others will die. 
Miles heads off to help, but is captured by Aaron, who imprisons him underground to prevent him from being killed like his father Jefferson Davis, whom Aaron was unable to reconcile with prior to his death, resulting in his over protectiveness of Miles. To ensure that Burno will not try to warn the Sonic, he attaches a Decepticon disguised as a watch on Burno's wrist, and it taps into his nervous system. Meanwhile, Team Anubias is trying to find a way to escape. Jack then reflects on how Anubias tricked them, much to the dismay of his teammates. Ben says, to not mention him again and as Robert declares that Anubias is gone and that they are on their own now. Then suddenly, Anubias arrives and kidnaps Noah. 
Stewart and Chris sneak into a heavily guarded fortress in the Swiss Alps where the premier is to be assassinated. Stewart finds Pegasus, head of MI7, and convinces her that Ambrose is the traitor, just before she attempts to drink the beverage in which the drug is put. Stewart accidentally drinks it instead, making him obey Ambrose. Pegasus is knocked unconscious by Stewart, commanded by Ambrose. At the headquarters, Lawson is asked to identify the real T.J., but he hesitates in doing so. Bellatrix spots the Sword and she orders T.J. and the others imprisoned in the cellar, where Luna Lovegood, the wandmaker Garrick Ollivander, and Griphook the Goblin are also being held captive. Bellatrix tortures Clare on how they got the sword, which she believed to be in her vault at Gringotts. Ambrose commands Stewart to kill the premier, before remembering what his master, the monk, taught him and tries to resist it. After a relentless fight with himself, he is successful and survives the drug. They are interrupted by a blackout caused by Electro, who Spider-Man heads off to fight. 
He receives a transmission from Noah but is shocked to see Anubias on the other end. Anubias then tells Marcus to meet him in the plant so they can settle their score with Iron Man overhear this conversation with a ghost named Baker followed. Meanwhile, Anubias decides to free Noah, having already goaded Marcus into battling. T.J., using the two-way mirror, sees another man's face staring back at him. T.J. begs the man in the mirror for help, and Lockjaw immediately Apparates to save them. At T.J.'s request, Lockjaw disappears with Luna and Fenwick to Shell Cottage and arrives back to free their friends. Marcus then arrives for the battle, and Noah watches. They begin fighting but are evenly matched. 
While Sonic uses his abilities as a Werehog, Baker gains the upper hand by turning invisible and intangible to dodge every attack Sonic throws at him. As the two fight, Chip discovers that Sonic can see Baker by taking its photo. While trying to exploit this fault, the ghost uppercuts Sonic high into the air as he waited for the photo to develop. As he free-fell, Sonic took multiple photos of the ground to expose Baker, only to be attacked again as he tried to make the photos develop faster. After the photos finish, they reveal Baker mockingly posing the same ways Sonic was when Su and Uh took photos of him.
Infuriated, Sonic begins randomly attacking his surroundings, only to take a full charge from Baker and crash into the wall. As Sonic lays unconscious on the ground, Baker proceeded to take his photo. However, Su and Uh begin to fight over the camera, causing Baker to separate into the two ghosts. As they fight over the camera, Sonic reawakens and scares them with a roar, causing them to fall backwards. Sonic then grabs them and swings them around before tossing them high above him, waiting for them to fall back down, and finishing with a powerful punch that sends the ghosts flying to the moon. Right before he punched, the camera went off just before Sonic sent the final blow.
Miles defeats Aaron, explaining that he cannot turn his back on people when they need him. Determined not to lose, Anubias pushes his power to his limits and destroys the bracelet on his arm. Mag Mel then receives a surge of energy from the battle and steps in to absorb his energy. Marcus goes anyway and is unable to do anything as Mag Mel is too strong for Anubias and he is consumed by Mag Mel. Phin and Ganke eventually follows, against Spider-Man's demands (he even webs Phin's hand to a car), and the trio are able to defeat Electro by overloading his electricity supply.  
Stewart pursues Ambrose, parachuting from the building and hijacking a snowmobile. Stewart reaches Ambrose, who is in a cable car. The two fight, with Stewart falling out of the car. Ambrose tries to shoot Stewart, who shoots a rocket disguised as an umbrella at the cable-car, killing Ambrose. Stewart then sits back and says happily - "you kids are alright".    
Several duels ensue, but Lockjaw is able to cause a distraction in which T.J. disarms Lawson, Dan and Burno retrieve Clare. However, Bellatrix kills Lockjaw as the prisoners Apparate to Shell Cottage. Milleous tells Marcus that he will let him go on the condition that Team Sonic and the Bakugan leave Earth and never come back. Marcus asks why and Dr. Psychobos soon presses a button which causes a device to activate, shown that Mankind an ultimatum to exile every Bakugan from Earth. Milleous tells Marcus that if he refuse, the Mutant To'kustars will begin destroying Earth. Marcus still refuses, but Kurama accepts and Team Sonic can spared from now. Marcus is enraged, saying he won't let them win, but Kurama says he thought he lost Marcus before, and with Bakugan leaving Earth, Kurama will know their partners are still alive. 
The gang tearfully prepares a proper burial for Lockjaw at Bill and Fleur's home and the Xantium takes off with all Bakugan on board, but is promptly intercepted by Starscream, who had waited in Earth's orbit. With the Xantium destroyed, the Decepticons believe the Bakugan to be dead and let Burno go.

=== Development ===
The film was developed to fit modern times. Examining the contents of the game disc reveals what some of the regions intended names were before they were swapped for their current names. It seems some of them were named after actual locations on Earth, it was decided to put the continents look similar to the real Earth as a perfect match. This adaptation was mostly faithful to the game's plot, with the Japanese version even being a word-for-word adaptation at some points. However, parts were written in for characters that did not appear in Sonic Unleashed. The film could not be finished in time, so it was split into two. It was originally set to be released as one, but Paramount Pictures divided the film into two parts due to financial and creative reasons.
Two films were originally rated PG-13 by the MPAA for "mild language" and "violence". However, the writers edited the films to make them atcion-friendly and re-rated PG on appeal.
=== Music ===
Dario Marianelli began work on it in April 2016.
== Release ==
Originally, Sonic Unleashed was scheduled for a June 15, 2018 release by DreamWorks Pictures. However, after the turnaround, Paramount Pictures rescheduled it to May 25, 2018.
