## Plot

The episode starts with Sonic lying on the roof of the Thorndyke Mansion reading a book just as Sally walks outside to join him. Sally notices that Sonic has visited everywhere on Earth, apart from the places he has to swim to, but, rightfully points out that Tails could have flown Sonic further out by getting Tails to fly him in the X Tornado. Sonic then shows Sally the Eiffel Tower in France and it just occurred to them that while they spent a decent amount of time on Earth, they didn't know the name of the country they are in. After deciding to ask Chris or Mr. Tanaka a bit later, Sally tells Sonic she did some research of G.U.N.: it's short for The Guardian Unit of Nations, Area 99 is affiliated with the company, and Hope suspects that the Mobians and her are under surveillance. Inside, Cream, Bunnie, and Cheese are watching *Next Show*. After the show finishes, Ella gives the three a snack and they realize that Antoine had helped Ella bake the cake. Ella remarks that Antoine is a talented cook and Cream asks Ella to thank him. While the three of them eat, a press conference by the President's aide, Jerome Wise, is broadcast, in which he says that the President has decided to take action against Doctor Eggman. Bunnie drops her slice of cake in shock, knowing that the humans are underestimating Eggman and that he'll Roboticize them at best. Bunnie and Cream decide warn the rest of the Mobians.

Dr. Eggman is watching the TV from his base with Snively, Decoe, Bocoe, Scratch, and Grounder and remarks that the humans will need a disaster management plan. Meanwhile, Knuckles is in search of a Chaos Emerald. Tails, Amy, Frances, (who has now met the Mobians who resided inside the mansion) and a reluctant Chris are in the X Tornado searching for the third Chaos Emerald. Amy and Frances get distracted by sightseeing, but, are rebounded by Tails' comments, only to realize Chris' hesitance. Tails revealed that Hope couldn't come because she, Rotor, Sir Charles, and Chuck are too busy working on their project and that Chris has trauma due to bad experiences with Eggman. Amy then tells Chris that by being here, he could inform Frances of what the group were up against. Amy then changes topic by reminding Chris of his new goggles, which he reveals he got from Mr. Stewart and he puts them on. Frances then tells Amy that Mr. Stewart pays more attention to Chris than the other students, but, Amy says she has her theories. Unbeknownst to Chris, these goggles contain a tracking device and a microphone so that Mr. Stewart can hear what Chris and his friends are saying and knows where they are located. Mr. Stewart follows them in his car.

At the White House, Rouge, Topaz, and the Captain are meeting with the President and two government officials. The President praises them for finding Dr. Eggman's engine room on their first mission and then reviews the military's attack plan. They plan a full-scale two-pronged assault against Eggman's base from both sea and air, which is merely a diversion to keep Eggman's forces occupied on the front of the base. Meanwhile, a special forces team led by Rouge will enter the base from the rear, infiltrate the power generator in hopes of cutting off Eggman's power supply. The President also wants Hope and the Mobian's assistance in hopes of a greater chance to defeat Eggman, but, instead of forcing them, the President tries to seek their aid via a more diplomatic approach. An envoy led by the Secretary General Jerome Wise shows up at the Thorndyke Mansion, hoping to meet Hope and the Mobians and ask for their cooperation. The President would reward Hope and Mobians, offer them free citizenship, and pay them for their services. Ella, who is at the house, denies knowing who Sonic and his friends are, but, Jerome can tell that Ella is lying. Ella closes the door and Jerome attempts to open it. Ella returns with a bucket of water and throws it over Jerome before sending them away.

The incident was reported back to the White House, where the President announces that they are going to have to stop Dr. Eggman themselves without Hope or the other Mobians. Rouge assures that while she's not a Power-Type, she does make a living of sneaking around Eggman's base and other ancient temples. It's here that it's revealed Rouge is actually doing this to save her mother, but, she doesn't say it out loud. Meanwhile, Mr. Stewart tracks the X Tornado flying towards a peculiar field. The Chaos Emerald reacts and picks up a signal indicating another Chaos Emerald and turns while Mr. Stewart follows. The X Tornado is seen landing in a dense corn field of Tingalin Villa. Thinking that the gang will have to walk, Tails then presses a switch and the plane transforms into a walking mech, the X Cyclone. Impressed, Tails claims the X Cyclone as a "multi-purpose machine," and unknown to them, Fiona starts to follow after them, all while Mr Stewart emits a signal over to the government to remind that there's a Chaos Emerald. Tails' group find the precise location where the Chaos Emerald is buried and asked Tails to use the X Cyclone to dig, but, Tails forgot to install a digging function into the X Cyclone so Chris and Frances run off to look for shovels or something to dig with.They don't get very far as Fiona approaches with the shovels, just as Bunnie and Antoine arrive on the scene. Tails, Bunnie, Antoine, and Amy recognize her immediately and start exchanging insults. Frances tries to get the group to focus, but, it fails as Fiona picks on Tails for supposedly having a girlfriend and Amy whips out her Piko Piko Hammer. Suddenly, the group hears a melody playing on a flute and Lupe Wolf arrives on the scene. She suggests that everyone calm down and start working together as they have a common goal. While the group start digging, Lupe continues to play her flute.

The government decides if they move for the attack while Eggman is gone to collect the Chaos Emerald, it will improve the odds in defeating Eggman, so the President agrees and gives the order to attack. Knuckles, who is watching the military forces preparing themselves, wonders what is happening. At the base, Eggman, Snively, Decoe, Bocoe, Grounder, and Scratch are watching a commercial when suddenly, they hear a report about the Chaos Emerald in Tingalin Villa. Dr. Eggman uses his Selection Machine and it selects E-35 Funfun, a large chicken-shaped robot with a giant fan in its chest, (a ripoff of Scratch, as he puts it). Eggman leaves the base with Funfun in order to collect the Chaos Emerald. Meanwhile at Tingalin Villa, Tails, Amy, Chris, Frances, Antoine, Bunnie, and Fiona keep on digging, though Chris is a bit curious about the melody playing. Antoine explains it's the Mystic Melody, able to ease tension, heal the user and their allies, demoralize enemies, or even grant the ability of other Ability Types. Amy then adds the Mystic Melody is made from a tree that grew by the Master Emerald, the most powerful artifact on Mobius that can make Angel Island float and neutralize or enhance the Chaos Emeralds. Lupe then stops playing her song because she senses some unwanted company in the form of Eggman, due to the fact that she has an empathetic link with nature. Just then, a large shadow is cast on the ground and the heroes look up to see Funfun and Eggman. Tails and Fiona hop into the X Cyclone, not intending to give the Chaos Emerald to Dr. Eggman if they found it. Bunnie offers to take Chris to a phone so he can get away from Eggman and call Sonic, but, due to him being frozen in place, Bunnie just grabs him and takes him anyway, Frances following after them.

The X Cyclone takes off into the X Tornado and flies towards Funfun. However, Funfun activates its powerful fan, which uproots the corn with a very strong wind that sends Amy flying and blows the X Tornado down to the ground, but, Antoine uses his sword and Lupe uses her spear to anchor themselves. The current creates an opening in the field which reaches the group and destroys the settlement ahead. Tails is unable to do anything to fight back, even with Fiona yelling at him to wake up and attempting to take control. Bunnie then catches sight of Amy being tossed in the air and she manages to grab her, too. Chris' goggles are blown away, which leads Mr. Stewart away from the field. Meanwhile, the air force and navy begin bombarding Eggman's fortress, so Bocoe and Decoe launch a counterattack by sending some of their forces, mainly E-11 Beakon and E-14 Sneezer, while Grounder and Scratch are tasked by Snively to make sure the ground entrances are blocked off. As expected, the on-going battle provides a distraction for Rouge, Topaz, and a special forces team to proceed towards the base. Back at the White House, the President announces on TV that a campaign against Dr. Eggman has begun. Cream sees the broadcast and rushes to tell Sonic and Sally.

Back at Doctor Eggman's fortress, the on-going warfare continues out in the open sea while Rouge, Topaz, and the special forces managed to infiltrate in the base. Back at the military base, Knuckles manages to sneak in into one of the fighter planes' missile bay and waits there for a while. Sonic asks if the new carrier is ready, but, Hope reveals it's not just yet. Sonic then tells them that the humans declared war on Eggman. Realizing the humans' weapons would be useless against Eggman, they realize their best hope is finishing the Y Tornado.

Bunnie, Amy, Chris, and Frances are still being pressed hard against the wind. The X Cyclone seemingly recovers and Fiona shows her determination not to lose to Eggman, but, Funfun whips up an even more powerful wind, sending the X Cyclone, Fiona, and Tails flying. Sensing things are getting worse, Bunnie tells Amy to activate a tracking beacon in her arm. NICOLE picks up the signal and the remaining Mobians and Hope deduce that something must be wrong. After Sally feels her speed kicking in, she uses NICOLE to lead her and Sonic to where Bunnie was and the episode ends.

## Differences between this and the original episode:

* In this story, Sally points out that Tails could fly Sonic in the X Tornado to the places that were out over the ocean, much to Sonic's embarrassment.
* Antoine had helped Ella to make the cake for Cream, Bunnie and Cheese.
* Frances suspects that Mr. Stewart is paying more attention to Chris than anybody else in the school and Amy has her theories. In the real episode, no one is suspicious.
* In the real episode, Rouge just wants the Chaos Emeralds because they're pretty. In this episode, it's revealed she wants them to rescue her mother.
* In the real episode, Tails recovers quickly. Here, Fiona has to take over piloting the X Cyclone/X Tornado.
* Chris tries to get to the phone in the real episode. Here, he's too paralyzed to move and Bunnie has to move him. Bunnie's also the one to suggest calling Sonic on the phone.
* In the real episode, Tails calls the X-Cyclone an "all-purpose machine" before he realizes he forgot the digging function. In this story, he actually does call it a "multi-purpose machine". He's still caught out about the lack of digging function however.
* Amy manages to weigh herself down in the real episode with her Piko Piko Hammer. Here, Bunnie has to catch her.
* In the real episode, the reason Sonic is delayed with the rescue is because he noticed Tails had already gone. Here, he and Sally are delayed because Hope, Rotor, Sir Charles, and Chuck hadn't finished the Y Tornado yet.
* Mr. Stewart sends an anonymous call to the Thorndyke Mansion telling them that Chris and the others are in danger. Here, Bunnie uses her tracking beacon to send a signal to NICOLE, which gets Sonic and Sally to go out to the rescue.
