The episode opens with Loki's group and their henchmen breaking into a construction site to steal some tar at night when our heroes, including Cloud Strife and Aerith Gainsborough, arrive to stop them. Then suddenly, Loki conjures tar/slime goblins to attack. After all our heroes, except Yuffie Kisaragi, are engulfed by them, the city then melts into a sea of tar/slime. Then Loki's group and their henchmen turned into tar/slime which then swallowed Yuffie and entangled her in its tendrils to tar/slime goblins arms. Then a giant tar/slime goblin appeared and eats Yuffie whole. But then it was all revealed to be a nightmare Yuffie had in her sleep. The next morning, Yuffie's not herself lately due to the nightmare she had, much to our heroes' concern. Finally, Yuffie snapped in fear by slapping away a sushi box Pinkie Pie offered upon seeing a picture of an angler fish. whose teeth resemble the giant tar/slime goblin from her nightmare, on there. After finally telling our heroes her nightmare, Yuffie is then given a mission by Cloud and Aerith to consult their and the TMNM's old human friend from Japan named Junko Ishimura in New York City's Chinatown's Dragon Dojo. Deciding to take this mission to heart to find inner courage and peace, Yuffie leaves to do so. At their hideout, Loki's group and their henchmen are tasked by Uka-Uka's group to steal artificial tar to use to drown our heroes in. In Chinatown, Yuffie arrives at the Dragon Dojo and meets up with Junko herself. After telling Junko her mission, Yuffie is given a training course by Junko to overcome her nightmare and find her inner courage and peace by being "One with the tar/slime." With Elise Oriana III, Christopher Aonuma, and Tai Kamiya's groups, they finished grocery shopping and betting on greyhound racing and enjoyed their lunch at their apartment. Later, they encountered Loki's group and their henchmen stealing all the artificial tar from the factory and learning of their plot to drown our heroes in the artificial tar, Elise, Christopher, and Tai's groups were about to leave to warn the TMNM when they are spotted. Although Elise and Tai's groups get away, Christopher's group end up captured.

At the Dragon Dojo, Yuffie passed the test for inner courage and peace with flying colors thanks to Junko's training. In the sewer lair, our heroes awaited Yuffie's return when Elise and Tai's groups arrive and explained what happened to Christopher's group, resulting our heroes to go to their rescue. At the hideout, Loki's group and their henchmen decide to use Christopher's group as bait to lure our heroes into the artificial tar trap. Upon arrival at the hideout, our heroes find Christopher's group. They attempt to rescue them when everyone, except Cloud, Aerith, Shadow the Hedgehog, Rouge the Bat, and E-123 Omega, got captured as well. After escaping, Shadow's group is able to find Yuffie about to return to the sewer lair when they explain to her about our heroes being captured to be drowned in artificial tar. Then they head back to the hideout to go to the rescue.

At the hideout, Shadow's group arrive in time and, despite some difficulty during the battle, manage to free our heroes from being drowned in the artificial tar. Then during the battle between good and evil, Sephiroth knocks Yuffie into the artificial tar to drown. But then remembering Junko's training, Yuffie escapes and helps our heroes fight against Loki's group and their henchmen.
