## Plot

The episode starts with Frances and Danny playing basketball while Mr. Stewart informs the government that Chris is missing. Frances and Danny then ask Mr. Stewart to play with them, and he accepts. Meanwhile, Chris is with Hope, Sonia, Mina, Von Schlemmer, and Team Balance on Angel Island. Mighty advises the group to follow him as Angel Island is like a second home to him, and he explains they are in Broken Dream Zone, where anyone can fall asleep and get very bizarre dreams. Chris then explains to his friends that he's been testing a product called "Five hour energy," and that had kept him up for the past two days. Sonia states this doesn't sound like a very healthy thing to do and when Chris tells Von Schlemmer he had his last dose five hours ago, he falls asleep instantly. Mighty comments it takes one hour for the zone's area to have effects, but, Hope reminds him that Chris doesn't have Chaos Energy within him like they do. Luckily, the group hear a voice call out that he can help them: a Mobian ant named Archimedes. He starts carrying Chris with little effort and he explains that ants can lift 50 times their own weight.

Meanwhile, Chris is dreaming of him being in a bed much too big for him, randomly wanting to sing "I Believe I Can Fly" while flying and then lands on his feet while suddenly singing "Ballad of Bilbo Baggins." Before anything else can happen, Mighty tosses some water over Chris to wake him up and the human realizes Mighty has new boots. Mighty explains they are his Climbing Boots and they can help him climb walls better. Sonia comes in with her two other Upgrade Items: Ballet Slippers and Power Greaves, which allow her to do her Sonia Screw attack and and allow her to kick through metal, respectively. Ray flies in next, with his Pilot Goggles which will increase his accuracy with his Dart Attack. Chris is told he's been asleep for an hour, which explains how the others found their Upgrade Items so quickly (at least from his point of view).

While that was happening, Sonic, Sally, Cream, Tails, and Cheese are on a walk near the Mystic Ruins and they spot another Upgrade Item: Cream's Pom Pom Bracelets, which allow her to encourage her friends and demoralize her enemies. At that moment, Rotor, Antoine, and Bunnie hop out of the X Tornado and Cream greets her older cousin with a hug. Bunnie shows her cousin her Shield Badge and Cream reveals her Pom Pom Bracelets, much to Bunnie's delight. Antoine then reveals his Chevalier Pauldron, which makes his sword beam stronger. The group then see Knuckles and Julie-Su standing beside Dr. Eggman, who is lying unconsciously on the ground. Sonic questions the echidna couple how Eggman came into this state with Knuckles responding that he and Julie-Su had found Eggman this way. Tails grabs a stick and starts poking Eggman until he surprisingly wakes up. Sonic asks what happened to Eggman, with the doctor responding that Chaos double-crossed him and he wants to utilize the power of the Chaos Emeralds for its own ambitions, to which the blue blur is hardly surprised. Knuckles begins to threaten the doctor when Sonic tells Knuckles to calm down. Eggman snapped at Knuckles' actions before being escorted away by Decoe, Bocoe, Scratch, and Grounder on a balloon, but, not before Julie-Su reacts poorly to a pun Eggman makes. Knuckles proceeds to tell the rest of the group that if Chaos gets a hold of the last Emerald, he will become too powerful.

Suddenly, a red orb transports Sonic, Sally, Knuckles, and Julie-Su back into the past of Angel Island, where they witnessed Tikal trying to stop Pachacamac from invading the Master Emerald's shrine. Despite this, Pachacamac orders his clan to strike. They ran over the defenseless Tikal and some Chao down to the ground. Chaos, witnessing all of what has been happening by Pachacamac and his clan, appears as they confusedly encounter it. Then, Chaos absorbs the power of the Emeralds' to destroy Pachacamac, which is his punishment for violating the Altar and harming the Chao it's sworn to protect. It then proceeds to destroy the rest of the warriors, blocking their escape to ensure he completes the job. Sonic, Sally, and the two echidnas are very shaken by the display, as Chaos is covered in blood for a second before it is absorbed. Poor Tikal is sad due to her father not listening to her. Sonic, Sally, Knuckles, and Julie-Su watch as Tikal walks to the top of the Master Emerald's shrine with her saying a prayer. After that, Chaos and Tikal are sealed inside the Master Emerald instantly, with Tikal's final words saying she'd leave the clan in the hands of her brother. The two teenage couples eventually are transported to the present with the rest of the group and Knuckles gravely tells them they need to stop Chaos getting its hands on the last Emerald.

Meanwhile, Hope is looking for signs of Chaos Poisoning on Chris, but, he's okay. Archimedes commends Chris' bravery and he admits he wants to do something for his friends because they're always helping him. Archimedes senses some Chaos Energy coming off him and Chris reveals the Grey Emerald, which gets him to realize the other six have been recovered. Suddenly, a burst of water appears and forms into a whirlpool, sucking Chris in. Thinking quickly, Mina uses her Heart Song which disburses Chaos and releases Chris while Sonia and Mighty grab him. Despite this, the Chaos Emerald is dropped and a hole in the ground opens up with the wave of water appearing from it and the Chaos Emeralds successfully fall into the water before disappearing. Realizing that the water was Chaos, Archimedes realizes how bad things are. Now that all seven Chaos Emeralds are in Chaos' possession, Chaos would be too powerful to defeat and Chris blames himself for it. Von Schlemmer reminds Chris that he wasn't the one to give Chaos a phone call to come to the island and the X Tornado arrives with the rest of the group. Chris apologizes again, but, Hope quickly reminds him it was far from his fault and Rotor admits it was *his* fault because he revealed the location of the seventh Emerald while Chaos was listening. Sonic remarks it doesn't matter *who's* fault is was because they need to find Chaos before someone gets hurt. Archimedes explains that Chaos was most likely heading toward Station Square and the group quickly get a move on.

In the relatively peaceful Station Square, the civilians are enjoying their daily activities when suddenly they hear a rumble underground. While Sam Speed warns an over-speeding driver, columns of water suddenly rocket upwards from all of the drain sewers like geysers while more water emerges from buildings and roads, creating fissure cracks. While Sam escorts civilians to a nearby safe building, a tsunami forms, washing Sam away. One trail of water forms a face, the powerful deity of Perfect Chaos. Scarlet Garcia is presenting a news report of Chaos' attack, while the President is watching with Rouge, Topaz, and other G.U.N. members. Unknown to the others, Fiona is watching from outside Station Square in new attire, realizing Chaos is out there. Back at the White House, the President authorizes G.U.N. to take down Perfect Chaos. Down at the Thorndyke Mansion, Jules, Aleena, and Sir Charles proceed to take some 50 Power Rings down to Station Square while Ella proceeds to evacuate with Chuck and Mr. Tanaka.

Back at Station Square, Manic and Big return from their trip down at the Egg Carrier and Manic attempts to take down Perfect Chaos with his drums, managing to bring Perfect Chaos to a manageable level and sees the arrival of the X and Y Tornadoes. Sally admits to Sonic she doesn't have any ideas at the moment, so she and Sonic decide to wing it for now. Mighty also realizes that even with everyone's Upgrade Items, they would be in a bit of a pinch, but, Bunnie notes that everyone's working together.

Down at Chris' school, the students are being evacuated, but, Mr. Stewart is called to come back to base, a direct order from Abraham Tower. However, Mr. Stewart realizes he can't abandon his students in a crisis and fakes that he can't hear the message. He continues to usher the students to safety. Aleena, Jules, and Sir Charles tell their human friends to stay put while they deal with what's going on in Station Square and they obey. Jerome manages to save Sam from the flooding Chaos and he then proceeds to blame Sonic for sending Chaos to Station Square. An angered Sam grabs Jerome by the collar and throttles him, which Jerome only makes worse by saying his father is the governor of Maryland. Sam says he doesn't care if the governor is his grandmother and punches him.

The government attempts to shoot down Chaos with choppers, but, their weapons prove no match against the water monster's watery skin. Perfect Chaos launches the missiles back at their sources, destroying the choppers and killing the pilots. While flying in the Y Tornado, Mighty is about ready to launch an attack on Perfect Chaos of his own, but, Sonia stops him by asking why he saved her from the Booms at the haunted mansion. Mighty admits that's because he had feelings for her, causing Sonia to blush. He was unsure how to act upon them as he had a poor attempt at a relationship before and he asks Sonia if she truly was fifteen years old. When she confusedly says yes, a relieved Mighty was about to explain what had happened with his first attempt at romance when Rotor reminds them of the emergency down below. Sonia quickly offers to go with Mighty and the two leap down together, proceeding to use the Hammer Drop and Sonia Screw moves at the same time, creating a whirlpool.

Meanwhile, Eggman, Snively, Decoe, Bocoe, Scratch, Grounder, and Coconuts launch the Egg Carrier 2 in hopes of defeating Perfect Chaos as revenge for betraying Eggman. Sonic and Sally attempt to take down Perfect Chaos, but, serve no match to it. Perfect Chaos creates another tidal wave to drown Sonic and Sally only for the blue hedgehog and squrrielmunk to survive by surfing on a wooden plank. Chris and Hope rescue them back on the X Tornado. Looking upwards, Sonic notices the Egg Carrier 2, as Eggman is attempting to defeat Chaos with it, but, it gets shot down with a single powerful laser from the deity.

Suddenly, a bright light blinds Chaos and the X Tornado's passengers as the X Tornado lands on a piece of highway by the light. The light reveals itself as Tikal who has arrived from the past who also wishes to stop the water monstrosity. Sonic suspects that Eggman initially somehow figured a way to revive Chaos so he can use it to take over the world. Perfect Chaos then spits out the Chaos Emeralds, now drained of their power. Tikal states that Perfect Chaos is only full of hatred and sadness and suggests sealing him back in the Master Emerald before it is too late, but, Sonic replies that it will not work, explaining that if they do that, the same thing will only happen again and they have to solve the problem once and for all. Sonia, Mighty, Amy, Lily, Brian, Manic, Big, Knuckles, Julie-Su, Tails, Chris, and Eggman's evil team find the Chaos Emeralds and meet up with Sonic and Sally. Aleena, Jules, and Sir Charles arrive with the 50 Power Rings and handed them to Sally and the Royal Hedgehog triplets as well. Suddenly, the Chaos Emeralds started to glow and rise up. Their powers transform Sally and the Royal Hedgehog Triplets to their Super states, much to the surprise of Tikal, who thought that the Emeralds could only be awakened by hate and anger. Tails and Knuckles reply that there are other more powerful feelings such as caring and friendship.

With their new powers, Super Sonic, Super Manic, Super Sonia, and Sapphire Sally proceed to fight with Perfect Chaos. Underestimating the Super quartet, Perfect Chaos tries to defend itself with its shield, but, Super Sonia shatters it and she loses her Power Greaves. Perfect Chaos then tries using its water tentacles, but, they shatter against the quartet in their in their Super Spin Attack like ice, as does Manic's Metal Drumsticks. Knuckles leaps forward, using his Fighting Gloves for his Maximum Heat Knuckles Attack. He splits the beam in four directions while his Super charged friends block each one. Unfortunately, that shatters Knuckles' Fighting Gloves as well. Helen smiles to herself in the hospital, thinking that if anyone can stop Perfect Chaos, Sally and the Royal Hedgehog Triplets can. Growing desperate, Perfect Chaos swings his tentacles, which the Super Mobians catch and vaporize, but, Sonic loses his Crystal Ring in the process. With one final punch with stopping the laser and charging into Perfect Chaos by plunging right down its throat, making it swallow its own attack, the Super Mobians defeat the water monstrosity for good, but, Chaos emerges from a water puddle. It wasn't defeated entirely yet and is still alive. A Chao colony arrives, much in the favor of Chaos, and Tikal tells Chaos the truth that the Chao are living on Earth at peace before they both disappear together. While the heroes are happy with the resolution, they realized that Dr. Eggman and his crew have left the scene. Knuckles then hears Tikal's voice inside his head, much to his surprise, and Julie-Su is confused as to why she can't hear Tikal. Tikal then reveals to Knuckles that only he can hear her unless she wants others to hear her as well. Knuckles explains the situation to Julie-Su and she admits that she would have questioned his sanity if she hadn't met him six months ago, but, now she finds that normal. Tikal then tells Knuckles that it's best to speak with her through his thoughts and she will always be watching over him as his guardian angel. Sonic and Sally look over to Chris and the blue blur gives a thumbs up as the episode and Chaos Saga come to a close.

## Differences between this and the real episode.

* Helen was originally with Frances, Danny, and Mr. Stewart at school, but, in this episode, she's having an operation so she can walk.
* The scene with the kids saying they now find Mr. Stewart cool is cut.
* Chris was in the workshops when he was looking for Sonic and Tails in the real episode. In this chapter, he was in the Y Tornado with some of his friends. In addition, he doesn't fall asleep at Broken Dreams Zone in the original because that wasn't a zone on Angel Island in the games or Sonic X.
* Chris doesn't run toward the group with the Chaos Emerald in his hand like in the original. Instead, he sticks with the other group and Chaos takes the Grey Emerald.
* We see Pachacamac die onscreen and blood on Chaos while not even the Japanese dub of the original show showcased this.
* Cream and Cheese were still at the Thorndyke Mansion in the real episode. Here, they ride in one of the Tornadoes to help support their friends in the battle.
* Mr. Tanaka and Ella don't appear worried that Chris is with Sonic and Co. in this episode. In the real episode, they decide to let Mr. Tanaka stay to swim both him and Chris to safety if he has to. Plus, Aleena, Jules, and Sir Charles tell them to stay put.
* We don't know who ordered the fire jets to attack Perfect Chaos or who ordered Mr. Stewart to come back to HQ, but, in this chapter, it's revealed it was Captain Westwood and Abraham Tower respectively.
* Sam and Jerome's scene is expanded on and we find out a bit about Jerome's family.
* Some of the scenes leading up to the Super Mobians scene are switched around.
* The pilots survive in the real episode. Here, they get killed.
* Because of more cast, we get to see others besides Sonic taking down Perfect Chaos.
* Daisy doesn't appear in this episode as she did in the original because she's with Gamma rescuing other Mobinis on their mission.
* Tikal and Chaos both float up to the sky and we don't see Tikal again in the rest of the series. Here, Tikal becomes Knuckles' guardian angel.

## Trivia

* The scene with Sam punching Jerome is a reference to Naruto.
	+ Specifically, the scene where Naruto punches Konohameru
