## Plot

The episode starts out at a high security area one night where Rouge is scouting a high security area with her Treasure Scope and a fox by the name of Fiona is watching her from nearby. Curious as ever, Rouge decides to pay a visit to the facility, with Fiona hot on her tail. Deep within the facility, Rouge visits a vault, turning her attention towards a large, precious, shiny diamond on display inside a glass case. The guards are watching this from surveillance cameras and decide to sound the alarm. This did not stop Rouge for as she cuts the glass with her Pick Nails and grabs the diamond while the guards activate their lock down procedures to shut all of the doors in the facility in attempt to stop Rouge. The moment the guards enter in the vault, she has disappeared and the only thing they see is a "Thank you" card. Looking up, the guards see that the roof of the facility has been lifted which allowed Rouge to escape. Rouge makes a remark about how her jewel is not one of the Chaos Emeralds, but, still remained of possible use as she flies and lands on a building a fair distance away. Rouge taunts Fiona about beating her to the jewel, but, Fiona taunts that Rouge hadn't been focused on food. Still full of confidence, Rouge leaves Fiona to her own devices and lands in a forest. Realizing Fiona had a point, Rouge starts looking for berries, being careful not to find poisonous ones.

The next day, Scarlet Garcia is reporting on the news about last night's incident about how it is the most significant of the mysterious jewel thefts all across Station Square that have authorities baffled. Cream, Cheese, and Bunnie are watching this in the Thorndyke Mansion's garage when Amy bursts in with a plate of pizza, wondering where Sonic and Sally are. Cream responds that Sonic went out with Tails, Hope, Rotor, Sonia, Manic, Mighty, and Ray for something. Amy decides to offer Bunnie, Cream, and Cheese the pizza instead as she didn't want to waste it. Bunnie admits Amy is taking the whole Sonic-dating-Sally thing quite nicely and Amy admits that she feels Sally is better for Sonic anyway as they are both of royal blood. Bunnie then comments that Amy shouldn't underestimate herself and she may have a prince charming of her own, as she's seen how Manic was blushing around her and that Amy was his first solo rescue. Bunnie also admitted that Manic told her he never had much luck with girls and Amy decides to chat with Manic later. Out above in Station Square, Tails, Hope, Sonic, Sally, Rotor, Sonia, Manic, Mighty, and Ray are flying on the X Tornado in order to look for a Chaos Emerald. The X Tornado takes a sudden turn, nearly resulting in Sonic falling off the X Tornado, but, Manic catches him on his hover board. Meanwhile, at the White House, the President declares that they must launch an attack at Doctor Eggman. His chairman though, debates that it would not be simple because after extracting the remnants of one of Dr. Eggman's robots for research, the authorities have concluded that Eggman's technical and military arsenal surpasses that of the military's. One of his advisors suggested enlisting the aid of the Mobians although the President is uncertain if if they could communicate with animals, but, his advisor assures that the Mobians can understand the human language and have a vaster knowledge of technology, leaving the President to agree with enlisting the Mobians. The aide then says it may not be so simple as Hope has a very high IQ for a 14-year-old, but, admits she's openly defiant of her uncle. They agree to try and convince Hope to aid them instead.

At Chris' school, Chris is painting a picture of the red Chaos Emerald when Frances and Danny took notice of it. Mr. Stewart then tells Chris that a red emerald was recently spotted at an old abandoned factory at Silky Heights. Rouge, however, manages to overhear this and makes it her mission to check it out, with Fiona close behind. After the school day, Chris returns home and reports that the red emerald was found near Silky Heights. As Hope was examining the map of Station Square, Chris asks where Sonic was, to which Sir Charles responds he's spending quality time with his siblings. At this point, Danny bursts into the house and meets all the Mobians for the first time, apart from Sally and Sonic whom he recognizes from the Intelligente fiasco. Everyone gets Danny up to speed on the recent happenings with Mobius, the Chaos Control warp, the Chaos Emeralds, and why he's allowed to see them, but, not the whole world. By now, Sonic and Sally had departed for Silky Heights and Chris opts to sit the mission out so he can fill in Danny on what happened. After a hug from Hope, she, Tails, Amy, and Rotor hop into the X Tornado to look for the Emerald.

Rouge and Fiona meanwhile meet up at a sign post and realize they have a common goal to get the Emerald. Rouge quickly sets a trap for Sonic and Co to go the wrong way by flipping the arrow on the sign. Fiona doesn't think the plan would work as it's so simple, but, Rouge orders her to hide. Sonic and Sally get to the sign first and discuss that it was weird that only Chris was told about the Chaos Emerald by Mr. Stewart and they suspect Hope's theory about it being a trap to be correct. However, they decide to play along and they signal the X Tornado to go down the incorrect direction. Rouge feels pleased with herself, but, Fiona believes that the humans are more aware of their existence than she thought. They head off to try and find the Chaos Emerald, regardless. Upon reaching the factory Rouge takes note of a shiny object and suddenly, bright lights flicker and the G.U.N. soldiers point their guns towards Rouge. A female agent, Topaz proceeds to handcuff Rouge and the bat mocks Topaz, resulting in her fellow soldiers bursting in laughter. Fiona is annoyed beyond belief as she realized Rouge didn't take the situation seriously. Topaz's commanding officer reveals that the military has set up a trap to catch one of the Mobians, and they got one. They realize Rouge was the one who stole the diamond the previous night, but, they decide to take her to the president anyway. Meanwhile, in the sunset, Sonic and Sally still continue to search for the factory, but, they realize the arrow was pointed the wrong way and they were getting hungry so they decide to head back for some food.

Topaz and Rouge are seen in the President's office afterwards. Rouge asked Topaz to get a cup of coffee, but, Topaz did not want to at first until the commanding officer commands Topaz to do so. After that commotion, the President walks in along with his advisors. Upon hearing her name for the first time, Rouge comments it's the name of a gem, to which Topaz responses she was named after her birthstone. She is offered a position in G.U.N. as a special agent, specifically needed for the break-in on Eggman's base. After Jerome Wise makes it clear that she would not be penalized for stealing the gems (even going as far to say that she can keep them if she remains quiet), Rouge agrees, only under the premise that she would eventually have a chance to get closer to her beloved Chaos Emeralds. Meanwhile, Sonic and Sally return back to the sign and rushes towards the other direction with the X Tornado following them.

That very night they proceed to perform their mission, arriving at the location with a plane, and Fiona hiding aboard it. During the flight, Topaz straps a bomb to Rouge's wrist as a measure that she will remain loyal to the G.U.N. army's cause, otherwise, a button will be pressed and she will be killed. Rouge mocked Topaz on this, and it annoys Fiona even more. At the moment, the plane has arrived at its drop point and the agents all jump off and land at an island which is the location of Dr. Eggman's fortress. Meanwhile, Sonic and his friends have finally arrived at the warehouse, when Sally finds a CD caddy. She plugs it into NICOLE and they hear Fiona's recorded message, revealing Rouge set off the trap and she secretly followed her. They return to the mansion and explain what the two "scales" had done. Danny and Chris are a bit confused, but, Hope informs them that it's a strong word meaning a traitor on Mobius. Sally elaborates further by saying that Fiona was toying with Tails' emotions. A shocked Cream becomes angry, but, a hug from Tails cools her down and Amy starts ranting but Tails covers Cream's ears. Sir Charles suggests they turn in for the night so they can clear their heads and start afresh tomorrow.

Meanwhile, Fiona is sneaking to Eggman's lair and finds Coconuts guarding the entrance, who is complaining about his previous job as a toilet cleaner and being out in the cold. Fiona manages to blast Coconuts to pieces without any issues and Coconuts says he hates his life. Once inside, Fiona hears Rouge screaming in agony and Snively mentions Noizi and the fact that the robot in question is a Thursday shouting from his uncle. It's also made known that Scratch and Grounder are not dealing with it too well, either. Rouge thinks Snively created the Noizi, but, he admits he hadn't, but, wished he had and he also noticed that Rouge brought a human in the base. Rouge and Topaz continue suffer earaches and the noise in turn awakens Dr. Eggman and alerts him of the intruders. The volume of the alarm further increases which further annoys Rouge, Topaz and Eggman. Rouge evades their attacks and their attacks revealed the generator room. Rouge tries to attack Noizi again but Noizi activates its loud volume alarm again, leaving Rouge to scream in pain. Guardbot accidentally shoots down Sneezer who then destroys Behemoth and the glass case containing the Chaos Emerald.

Noizi takes its chance to subdue Rouge once again. Eventually Rouge hatches an idea and breaks the bomb off of her wrist then tosses it into the speaker on Noizi's head. The robot's sound now cut off, Rouge tells Topaz to press the button that activated the bomb. She does so and the robot's connection to its speakers is destroyed by its explosion. Eggman rushes towards the scene while Rouge then delivers a devastating finishing blow through the robot and it is destroyed. The explosion happens to be so huge that she has to carry Topaz out of the room and fly her to the safety on the outside, while Snively and Fiona also flee. Unfortunately for Eggman, he arrived at the exact moment of Noizi's explosion and he and Snively got caught in the blast. Eggman then wonders why he keeps making robots with self destruct sequences while Snively advises him to use it on robots *outside* his lair.

With their mission completed, the G.U.N. personnel went home. The next day at school, Chris is very worried about evil Mobians, when Mr. Stewart asks Chris if he's okay and about how his story is coming. Chris says it's going well and Mr. Stewart tells him to keep up the good work. Hope is still suspecting something's up about Mr. Stewart, but, doesn't have evidence to back up this claim. She says she'll keep investigating, and the episode ends.

## Differences from this and the real episode

* We don't know where Rouge was staying in the real episode. Here, she's in the forest.
* The scene where Amy offers Cream, Cheese, and Bunnie the pizza in mansion is expanded to talking about Amy and her love situation.
* Manic catches Sonic as he falls off the plane, while in the real episode, Sonic barely hangs on.
* Instead of just trying to catch Sonic, the President and G.U.N. are trying to capture any Mobian possible.
* It's revealed in this story Topaz was named after her birthstone, which makes her a November born baby. In the real episode, it's never revealed.
* In the real episode, Danny and Chris go with Sonic and Co. on the mission. Here, they stay behind, and don't fall asleep in class.
* Because of the aforementioned staying behind, Sally and NICOLE are able to get a recorded message from Fiona and head back to the mansion with this information.
* Danny gets into the house later than he actually did in the real episode.
* Because of the Coconuts scene, some of Rouge and Topaz entering the base is cut.
* The episode ends with Mr. Stewart telling Chris and Danny getting to bed on time. Here, Mr. Stewart compliments Chris' stories and Hope is still suspicious of Mr. Stewart.
