## Plot:

The episode begins at Dr. Eggman's Fortress on the unnamed island where the viewers last saw Dr. Eggman claiming that he was going to conquer this new planet as part of his Eggman Empire. As Decoe gives him a pack of cards with various robots on them, he cannot choose which one to unleash upon Station Square. He then uses a slot machine device to choose for him and it turns up with E-23 Missile Wrist's picture. With the decision made, he and his robot set out.

Underneath the main streets of Station Square, Amy, Rotor, Antoine and Knuckles are wandering in the sewers discussing about how Sonic's actions led them into this new world. Knuckles blames Sonic for the cause of this but Amy, Rotor and Antoine defended that Sonic was only attempting to stop Eggman, and that Eggman would go that far even if Sonic wasn't intervening. Even if Dr. Eggman was causing trouble, Knuckles said that Sonic shouldn't have pushed Eggman too far to trigger Chaos Control which warped them to this world, causing an argument between the quartet. Antoine and Rotor manage to pacify the group, saying they would be easy prey for Eggman if they didn't stop arguing, and this forces out an apology from Knuckles.

The very next scene skips to the beach where Missile Wrist bursts from the waters and terrorizes the people who are currently having fun there. It wastes no time in using its missile wrists to destroy the cars and structures around the area. Eggman flies overhead in his Egg Mobile saying that now they had established a beachhead, it was time to set their sights on the city.

Tails, Cream and Cheese are washing the Tornado 2, while Hope is trying to fix NICOLE, with Sally checking in on progress. Hope admits it would take a while, when Sonic rushes in with some flowers for Sally, saying it was an "Everything will be okay" present. He says he got them from a nearby wood, and says he can take Sally there should she choose. Bunnie then takes the flowers to find a vase while the happy couple go out together.

Meanwhile, Ray is enjoying a peanut butter sandwich, while Mighty is doing some weightlifting with the Throndyke car. Chris asks them where Sonic is, and they explain that he took Sally to the woods. Chris is relieved that Sonic isn't running around in public, and asks Mighty and Ray how they know Sonic. They admit that Eggman captured them and while Sonic tried to save them, he suffered an electric shock through his legs that made his legs useless in the water. At this point, Mighty and Ray realize Chris still has a lot to learn about Mobians, and they tell him to treat any Mobians he comes across as they were Overlanders, or in Earth's world, humans.

Sonic and Sally are now in the flower field on their date, and Sally kisses Sonic as the two were in bliss.

Back in the sewer, Amy stirs up another conversation with Knuckles on their chances of being able to get back home. Knuckles responds simply by saying that he has to in order to protect the Master Emerald, no matter what the solution may be. They, along with Antoine and Rotor, then hear the racket going on from above them. Knuckles sees the manhole and opens it up to see the trail of destruction left by Missile Wrist.

Missile Wrist crashes into a tall building, frightening the people inside as they take cover. Eggman instructs it to proceed to the roof where they can do more damage. Eggman rides his Egg Mobile to the top while Missile Wrist uses his arm as a grappling hook and pulls itself to the top. Numerous police cars gather underneath them, which only prompts Eggman to get excited. Eggman says it's time to get the show on the road and somehow is able to project his image onto all the televisions and mechanical devices in the city. He tells them all his name and his intentions to take over the city and make it a part of his new Eggman Empire.

Back at the Thorndyke home, Hope, Chuck, Chris and the Mobians visiting there were all watching the news, and realize Eggman really was on the loose. Hope asks Chuck for different components so she can make a disguise so Eggman wouldn't recognize her and a weapon to use against Eggman. Hope explains that she needs to disguise herself because if Eggman exposes her, people could label her a traitor by association with him. Chris wants to help, but Hope shoots down that idea due to it being too dangerous for Chris, even mentioning the roboticizing which has happened to Bunnie. After Hope assembles her machinery, she hops in the Tornado and Tails is about ready to go. But before he does, Cream gives him a kiss in good luck. Bunnie sees that Cream has a lot of affection for Tails and approves of the budding crush.

At that time, the Mayor of Station Square finally shows up and tells Eggman through his megaphone that he will not surrender the city. Eggman snaps his fingers commanding Missile Wrist to demolish a nearby building, obviously demanding another answer. The Mayor responds saying that his charter technically doesn't allow for him to surrender the city. Completely disgruntled and annoyed, Eggman issues for Missile Wrist to destroy the city. However, Tails swoops down in the Tornado flying past Eggman.

Eggman tells Missile Wrist to blast them out of the sky. Hope uses her EMP before the robot can fire its missile wrists at the blue bi-plane. Tails tries to counterattack with the Tornado's turrets but Missile Wrist's armor is too thick to be budged.

Knuckles, Amy, Rotor and Antoine finally reach the building where Eggman is carrying out his ambition. Amy, Rotor and Antoine agree that they need to go to the roof and help Tails. Knuckles claims that he has more important things to do which prompts Antoine to try and use reverse psychology on Knuckles, who turns it back on Antoine, saying he can't handle it. After a few more insults, Antoine decides to go up to try and help Tails himself, which prompts Amy and Rotor to go after him, but the elevator closed before Knuckles could hop aboard.

Sonic and Sally return to the Thorndyke residence, only to learn from Chris that Tails is in danger. Sonic then grabs Sally and speeds off to the battle.

Back at the battle, the elevator finally opens but Knuckles had already gotten to the top. Amy, Rotor and Antoine reach the roof as well and Amy charges at the robot with her hammer and feigns whacking Missile Wrist's leg with it despite Knuckles' warning. Antoine also manages to jump into the fray by slashing the robot with his sword, but only lands a few minor scratches. Unmoved by the impact, the robot then turns and grabs Antoine. Knuckles runs in attempting to save him but Eggman stops him, saying that if he tries then Antoine's a goner. Missile Wrist emphasizes this by squeezing Antoine's body tightly, making Antoine force out an apology to Knuckles. Eggman then tries to make things worse in that Sonic didn't survive, but Tails sees the blue blur heading their way, leaving Eggman in shock. This gives Antoine the means he needs to escape by cutting the robot's hand off.

Hope tosses Sonic a Power Ring and he heads off toward the building. Right at that moment, Sally feels her speed kick in gear and she and Sonic get to work in stopping Eggman's plan with a double spin dash. Hope manages to jam the Missile Wrist, which renders any attacks from it on Sonic or Sally useless. Eggman is only getting angrier however. Knuckles asks Sonic and Sally to try the "old slap on the wrist". Sonic and Sally pulled in on its wrist and tricks it into slamming into its own arm and destroying it, all while Amy is looking on with jealous eyes. Eggman, who is covered in soot from the explosion, grumbles and flies away while claiming revenge and control of the Chaos Emeralds.

Amy hugs Sonic and congratulates him on the victory, only to be forced to be let go by Sally. Rotor and Knuckles try to reason with Amy, but she ends up insulting Knuckles instead. Tails quickly stops the argument by pointing out that G.U.N. soldiers reach the roof and point their guns at the Mobians. Tails flies by them and puts out a ladder telling them to get on. Everyone quickly grabs on except for Knuckles, who wants to fight with the G.U.N. soldiers. After more convincing, Knuckles finally runs and escapes with them.

Tails tells his friends that Cream, Cheese, Bunnie, Mighty and Ray are waiting for them back at the Thorndyke house, but Amy only recognizes the first two names. Antoine explains that Bunnie is his wife, and Tails tells her that Mighty and Ray are two of Sonic's friends, to which Amy is irritated about. After Sally asking if Amy was always like this and Sonic admitting that she wasn't at her best, Knuckles decides to abandon ship and glide away, and Sonic concludes it's best to leave him be.

Everyone arrives back at the Thorndyke house, and Antoine and Bunnie share a romantic reunion. Amy gets offensive with Mighty and Ray, asking how they know Sonic, and Sonic admits he tried telling her about them, but she didn't listen. Sonic and Sally meanwhile, try to have a bit of romance of their own, but Amy tries to stop them, only to be stopped by Mighty (the third strongest Mobian, according to Sonic). Sally then lets out that she and Sonic have been childhood friends, knowing each other since they were five years old. Amy starts to get disheartened because of all those times Sonic had saved her, but Rotor tells her that he saves everyone, so why should she be special? Hope meanwhile is taking her disguise off, and points out that Amy is being spoiled, her remark about Sally only proves her point further, and things get worse when Hope reveals that Eggman is her uncle. Sonic finally had enough and angrily tells Amy about how Hope had been trying to prove she wasn't like her uncle at all, and about how rude that Amy had been to Sally. Sonic also tells her that if she does something like that again, he won't hold back just because she's a girl. Amy apologizes to Hope and promises she won't be rude to Sonic's friends anymore. Sally manages to give Sonic a comforting hug and he feels better he got that bottling up emotions off his back. The episode ends with Mighty telling Amy that he's going to give her an anger management course as the episode ends.
