## Plot:

Sonic is on the roof of the Thorndyke Mansion, staring out into the open sky before he decides to jump off and have a nice run. Returning to the front door a mere second later, he is greeted by Sally, who asks where he went. Sonic simply replies "nowhere special, otherwise he'd have taken her with him" before coming in. Sally considers Sonic one of a kind.

Chris is then seen eating breakfast served by Ella. Mr. Tanaka has just hung up the phone in the other room and entered the dining room to inform his Chris that his parents, Lindsey and Nelson Thorndyke, will be arriving home that night. Hope comes in with some breakfast sandwiches she made and Chris excitedly delivers the news about his parents to her. The two are about to take off with the platter before Tanaka asks them about it, and they quickly make up the excuse they often try different sandwiches to see which is better, and sprint off to the garage. Apparently, that was the third time that week.

In Chuck's lab, the Mobians each grab a sandwich to eat, and Rotor remarks they couldn't keep up the illusion of being soft toys forever, especially since he and Bunnie have trouble pulling it off. Chris then tells the Mobians about his parents coming and advises them to keep up the hiding act. They agree, and Hope reminds Chris that he'd better hurry to school before he's late. Chris then freaks out and ends up falling down the stairs in a rush. Hope quickly rushes to help him out and they leave. Sally asks what Chris' dad does and Chuck replies by saying Nelson, his son, is the head of a very important company. Bunnie asks about Lindsey and he answers that she is a movie star. Under the realization that Chris doesn't get to spend much time with his parents, and admit that the majority of their parents were roboticized by Eggman, except Amy, who admits her parents died when she was eight years old. Cream is still worried about her mother.

Meanwhile at Dr. Eggman's Fortress, Eggman is swinging around in his chair thinking of another method for world domination as the ocean waves continue to crash against the shore of the island. He realizes that in order to take over the planet, he needs respect. To gain that respect, he decides to go through with the children first. With that, Decoe hands the doctor his deck of cards and he puts them in the Selection Machine. The machine then lands on Intelligente. Intelligente flies out of the base and lands in Station Square, ready to carry out his mission.

Back at the Thorndyke residence, an older hedgehog is out looking around through the bushes, and spots Sonic on the roof of the garage. Chuck Thorndyke, Sally, and NICOLE detect a Mobian outside, and Sally recognizes the older hedgehog as Sir Charles. The two hug and Sally reveals that someone had been missing him like crazy. Of course, that someone is Sonic, who reveals Sir Charles to be his uncle Chuck, and the two embrace as well. Sir Charles is introduced to Chuck Throndyke, Mighty, Ray, and Cream, and also reveals he knows Vanilla, Cream's mother. Sir Charles recounts back to when he was deroboticized, and reveals that a dodecahedron stone that was colored blue managed to revert him back to normal. He planned to find his brother and his brother's wife before being sent to Earth, and he also followed Sonic's footprints back to the house. Sonic then reports to his uncle about his heart problems and that Sally's been keeping him on track with keeping to one chili dog per day, revealing she means a lot to him, which makes her blush.

Down at the school, Intelligente is outside with the kids for P.E. class they were going to play baseball, all while Hope is watching silently from the sidelines, wishing she had her disguise and EMP. The kids cheer with excitement and begin. Mr. Stewart leads the officer outside to show him the robot. The officer, still munching on a hamburger and not having the slightest interest, tells Stewart that the children doesn't appear to be in danger but are rather having fun. Mr. Stewart tells him to quit eating the burger and takes it from him, which causes the officer to call officer assault charges and chases Stewart with a truncheon. Hope decides to call Sally and NICOLE a bit later.

Meanwhile, Dr. Eggman wonders on Intelligente's progress on the mission. He presses a button to see the children and Intelligente all playing baseball happily with each other, as well as a familiar figure down at the school. Eggman is in deep shock to realize it was his niece, Hope. Realizing she was in disguise previously, he is more enraged with her than ever. When the kids express their affection for Intelligente, Eggman yells that no one has the right to be too happy about this. He quickly calls Bokkun to record messages for the two traitors, and Bocoe asks Eggman about how both he and Hope are related, to which Eggman tells him that the Kintobor family branches off the Robotnik family, and explains that his father changed his last name to Kintobor and he changed back to being Robotnik since his brother Colin went up to space. He muses to himself that his grandfather and cousin, Gerald and Maria respectively, haven't been heard from for ages.

As the kids continue to play baseball, Bokkun arrives with a message for Intelligente from Dr. Eggman. The message tells him that he's angry that Intelligente is teaching the kids to respect himself instead of Dr. Eggman, and Bokkun lets in that Eggman has also been angry with Hope, (to which he accidentally points at Francis). Intelligente responds by saying that if he found his task more rewarding if he can get the kids to respect himself. Bokkun gets angry and says that he will be destroyed if he goes through with something like that. This argument gathers the kids around Intelligente, making them all wonder what's going on. Intelligente makes his everlasting remark that he refuses to abandon his students no matter what Eggman does to him. The children all become happy and express even more affection for Intelligente, who marvels at being 'loved' in return. Meanwhile, Hope then realizes her uncle knows that she's here thanks to a Surveillance Orb, and calls up Sally and NICOLE.

Sally and NICOLE answer Hope's transmission and she tells them to bring her EMP and rally up Sonic, Bunnie, and Antoine, but not before NICOLE puts a tracer on Hope's location.

Eggman decides to take matters into his own hands and tells Bocoe and Decoe to send out SWATBots to patrol the school. Sonic, Antoine, Bunnie, and Sally reach the area and start attacking the black SWATBots. A silver SWATBot combines with four black ones to make a Mega SWATBot, but, that only starts destroying its fellow robots. The group are at a loss as to why they were doing this or who would come up with such an idea for an AI. Back at Eggman's lab, it was revealed Scratch and Grounder were behind this and demoted because of it. They start to argue and fight with each other.

Back at the school, Eggman's Egg Mobile is flying overhead and lands in the field. Eggman jumps out of the cockpit and calls Intelligente and Hope in an angry tone, revealing her to the class. Everyone gasps in shock, except Chris, who winces. Eggman reveals that Hope is his niece and starts abusing her, but Hope manages to retort back by revealing his true name, Julian, which makes him even madder than before. Hope continues to rebel against Eggman, and that impresses the kids. Hope is then trapped by Eggman, which only makes the kids find Eggman appalling. Even Intelligente is disgusted with Eggman's behavior, which prompts the doctor whip out a tool-belt in his hand. Intelligente freaks out in fear, as Eggman tells him that he is going to take him apart for his treason. Intelligente goes to Chris for help. Chris gets confused and points out that Intelligente himself said that he'd protect the kids from Eggman, no matter what he does. He asks if he really said that. Slightly annoyed, Danny and Frances point out that he did. Realizing that there was no turning back, he decides that he has no choice. Eggman begins to laugh and tells the kids that Intelligente isn't to be believed and then orders Intelligente to keep the students in detention to force them to respect the doctor. Eggman then tells Intelligente that if he doesn't wish to be taken apart, he will do as he is told. Intelligente quickly agrees to follow Eggman's command. Chris quickly rushes over to Hope and tries to break her free, only for his hands to be burnt. He is about to try again, but is grabbed by Intelligente by the collar (whose eyes now have turned from a light yellow to a shade of red).

Antoine manages to dispel the smaller SWATBots with his sword, and after a congratulations from Bunnie, the quartet quickly manage to take down the mega SWATBot. Bunnie fires her arm cannon while Antoine performs his Spin Blade Ball Attack in conjunction with Sonic and Sally’s Double Spin Dash. Antoine is dizzy from his own attack, but the quartet need to move on to save Chris, Hope, and the other kids.

At the playground, E-51 is relaying to the kids that they are all going to learn how to draw Dr. Eggman. Eggman takes on many different poses, while Chris wonders if Eggman can ever be drawn nicely. However, while Antoine and Bunnie go to rescue Hope, a blue streak and a red, blue, and brown streak run past the other kids, making the books fly out of their hands and climb up a nearby flagpole. Intelligente tells Eggman to stop posing and warns him that Sonic and Sally are here. The doctor sees Sonic and Sally standing on the pole and asks Decoe why he didn't send out the SWATBots. He responds he did, only they were redesigns by Scratch and Grounder. Sonic comments on Eggman's dumb choice, to which he issues for Intelligente to destroy him and Sally. The children are all confused with what has just happened. Intelligente complies and launches missiles out of his head. Meanwhile, Antoine absorbs the energy from Hope's trap so Bunnie could release her, and Hope uses her EMP to disable Intelligente. Sonic and Sally then run down the flagpole and easily dodge all the missiles, make their way toward Intelligente, and deliver a very powerful headbutt to its chest, destroying Intelligente.

Sonic and Sally walk out of the smoke and up to Eggman. Eggman honors the hedgehog and squirrel-chipmunk hybrid a badge as today's prize for winning the battle which has the doctor's grinning face on it. Sonic and Sally predictably refuse, saying that they didn't want a "booby prize". Eggman then offers it to the children, who all pan it gracefully. Eggman then turns to leave, pinning the badge onto his jacket while hopping into his Egg Mobile and taking off. The awkward silence afterwards has the students wondering what had just happened. The Mobians, Hope, and Chris join up and Sonic tells Chris that he better head for home as his parents are still waiting for him. Before he heads home though, Hope stops him and reminds him about his burnt hands, to which Antoine uses the Chaos Energy absorbed from his sword to heal Chris' burns. Chris finally starts home with his friends, leaving Danny and Frances admiring Sonic, Sally, Hope, Bunnie, and Antoine for a bit as they all go.

It is now sunset and Mr. Stewart sees Chris and Hope running home. He then says to himself that he's never seen Hope before and he's reflecting on his teaching skills while taking a bite on the burger only for the police officer to approach behind him. Mr. Stewart turns around and makes a run as the police officer chases.

Sonic, Bunnie, Sally, and Antoine return back to their friends in the garage, revealing that they managed to show themselves to the children of Chris' school. They all agree that they were going to have to reveal themselves at some point regardless, and they may as well start with the younger generation. But they also realize that if info like them being from another world gets into the wrong hands, things may go the wrong way. Sonic also mentions how Hope was trapped by Eggman. While it was a bad thing, it was also proof that she wouldn't want anything to do with her uncle. At this point, poor Cream starts crying because she misses her mama, to which both Tails and Bunnie comfort her, saying that her mother is out there somewhere.

In the Thorndyke house, the family are having a comfortable family dinner which the Mobians are now watching. Nelson nearly went overboard to alert the president of his son being missing while Lindsey alerted TV stations (not all of them, according to her). Chris was embarrassed by this, but Tails, Amy and Rotor all think the Thorndykes are a nice family, while Sonic and Sally stargaze outside as the episode ends.

## Differences between this story and the original:

* In the original, Amy is shown greeting Sonic as he runs back to the house, and she thinks he's being mysterious. Here, it's Sally who greets Sonic, and he's much warmer in his greeting with her than with Amy in the original.
* Hope is shown to have made sandwiches for the Mobians, while in the original, it's not shown how the sandwiches get there.
* Oddly enough, in the original, Cream isn't shown with Tails, Amy, and Sonic during the breakfast scene. Here, she is, along with the other characters added into the story.
* Mr. Stewart’s scenes of falling asleep in the classroom and realizing the children were 'kidnapped' are omitted.
* Sir Charles Hedgehog meets up with the gang as a new scene.
* The scene of Mr. and Mrs. Thorndyke arriving at the mansion was omitted.
* Gerald and Maria are mentioned much earlier on in this series than they were in the original, having to wait until the Sonic Adventure 2 arc to be mentioned at all.
* SWATBots are added into the mix, redesigned by Scratch and Grounder.
* Sonic was on his own when saving the children from detention in the original. Here, he's with Sally, Bunnie, and Antoine.
* Hope disables Intelligente before Sonic and Sally destroy him.
* The plot with Cream missing her mother is incorporated into this episode, rather than episode 7.
