## Plot

This movie starts with Sonic and Sally on a run together, when the weather turns for the worst. Seeing this, the couple rush back to the mansion where Jules is surprised to see them back early. Chuck explains he can use the weather tracker that he made which is when Aleena unlocked his Intelligence Ability Type, according to what he tells Hope.

Meanwhile on Angel Island, an adult Echidna witnesses the strange weather patterns, as do Knuckles and Julie-Su. The teenage echidnas go to check the Master Emerald for this strange occurrence and see a menacing figure in the vision, only for Tikal to interrupt to tell her distant nephew to be careful.

Back at the mansion, Shade reacts with terror, much to Chris’ confusion as her clan are supposedly her family. Aside from her uncle, however, none of them are related to her. Shade explains that her clan was sent to the Twilight Cage, a place which runs on it’s own physics where two enemy clans - the other being Julie-Su’s former clan - were sent. Sally realizes that because procurator is a high rank in the Nocturnus Clan, Shade knows a lot about the inside secrets which will give the group an edge over them. Hope then proceeds to hand Sonic, Antoine, and Bunnie new Upgrade Items, the Thunder Heels, the Knight Gloves, and the Static Bomb Chip, respectively. It’s mentioned that Gizoids can copy weapons, but, it takes longer for them to do it and they can’t copy combo moves as they become overwhelmed. It’s revealed that Mina is currently doing a concert with the Forget Me Knots at the park and Shade talks about Emerl’s Solar Corona Reactor. He’s only partly solar-powered and if it gets damaged, Gizoids can’t be powered anymore. Rotor asks about the various Gizoid types, but, the group gets a distress call from Mina at the park. The Mobians book it save for Vanilla and Chocola who remain behind.

At the park, the Mobians split into their teams, but, Sonic quickly realizes his team and Team Rose are down a member. Amy, Cream, and Cheese rush to get Big while Maria and Aleena are on standby.

Sharps meanwhile sees a bunch of Gizoids and uses a move called Gamble Egg, which Ash had never seen before. Sharps admits he barely uses it because it’s either too dangerous or too useless - the last egg he used turned into orange juice. Max managed to use a bomb which destroyed the last Gizoid. Mach tells Max he needs to learn to speak properly, but, neither Sharps or Ash understood his fast talking.

Meanwhile, Big and Froggy are fishing when Amy, Cream and Cheese arrive to explain the situation. Big is worried it may concern the Chaos Emeralds, but, Cheese and Cream get him to see there’s more important things to worry about. Amy claims Team Rose is complete, but, Big says he never agreed to the name.

Team Rose gets back to the park, and Big remarks there’s a lot of robots, much to Shade’s annoyance. Sonic and Tails manage to hold her back and get her to refocus her priorities. Big then attacks some Gizoids going after some innocent humans, but is shocked to see a dark red liquid spilling all over the ground. Cream and Amy then try their Upgrade Item Combo - Shining Sunlight Hammer, which vaporizes the Gizoid from the inside.

Sonic and Sally try a new combo - Crimson Flail - which dispatches a number of Gizoids. Mighty and Ray then proceed to do their Balance Spiral Team Blast, which also wipes out some Gizoids. Jules thinks the remaining Gizoids are retreating, but, when Scylla shows up, Shade knows otherwise. Scylla tries to burn Sonic when he challenges the Gizoid, but, Marine uses her water powers to douse the flames. Silver asks Blaze if she can control Scylla’s flames, but, she admits the best she can do is redirect them. Shade notices the rain coming and asks for everyone to distract Scylla. Team Rose then proceed to showcase their Team Blast, Flower Festival, which has Amy and Cream dance around on Big’s umbrella and then explode flowers onto Scylla. Sharps, Mach, and Max use another Team Blast, Rock Concert, playing their instruments to send a sound blast to Scylla. He tries a move of his own, Black Burner, but, the rain puts out his flames and he’s forced to retreat.

After Amy is told by Sally what recuperate means, Ash realizes that it was a coincidence the rain started just now. Suddenly, everyone is greeted by Chaos in its 0 form with a tail. The Mobians are concerned until Chaos reveals it’s not going to harm them. This is further cemented when Tikal in her spirit form shows up. She and Shade have a heartfelt reunion and Shade sadly notes how young Tikal was when she died and that her brother must have taken over the tribe. Chaos then explains that there was a disturbance with the Nocturnus Clan coming back, as they had created copies of the Chaos Emeralds called the Great Emeralds. Tikal quickly heals everyone and Sally remarks she knows another Healer-Type named Dr. Quack. Maria and Aleena return to the group, having healed some of the injured humans, and Tikal is impressed with their healing abilities, which Maria reveals that Shadow allowed her to have. Getting back to the topic, Chaos explains he can use the real emeralds to destroy the counterfeits and one of them is inside Emerl. Everyone heads up to Angel Island, where Knuckles and Julie-Su are anticipating their arrival.

Tikal quickly explains the situation with Chaos to Knuckles and Julie-Su and Chaos uses the Master Emerald to summon six of the Chaos Emeralds. Emerl gives his last emerald to the group, making him go limp.

Ix is observing things from afar and he decides to use his Great Emeralds to fight back. Scylla and Charyb are observing this, realizing how insane Ix had become.

Chaos meanwhile sees Charyb approaching the group in a wave of water. Shade tells the others that Charyb is unbeatable in water, but, Sonic has an idea. He uses his new Thunder Heels to perform a Sonic Spark on the wave to shock Charyb, followed shortly after by Knuckles’ Thunder Arrow and Bunnie’s Static Bomb with Antoine’s blade to stun Charyb. This damages Charyb so much that NICOLE and Shard feel like they can perform Cyber End to finish him off. Unfortunately, Charyb uses his Blood Gush to squirt fluids into their eyes, much to Sonia’s disgust. NICOLE and Shard are then trapped in an Aqua Ring bind, not that it’s much of an issue for NICOLE, who uses her nanites to free herself, bind Charyb, and rip out his Solar Corona Reactor, causing C-Fluid to gush out his forehead. Mighty and Sonia respectfully leave after feeling sick and poor Tikal still gets sick without a stomach, which unfortunately, Knuckles has a metal image of. Charyb finally collapses, which Manic remarks is an unnecessarily brutal end.

Shard is freed, but, Ix shows up on the island, calling Shade a traitor. Shade states her surprise that he didn’t see this earlier on and Chaos then stands in Shade’s defense. Ix changes into his Super State and tries to finish Shade off, only for Chaos to block the attack. Chaos becomes a positive version of its Perfect Chaos self to fight back and Shade gets transformed into a Super State by draining energy from Ix. Shade and Chaos battle Ix together, getting Angel Island to rock and shake.

As Shade uses X Slash to drain more energy, Chaos uses its Ultimate Chaos Punch move to launch Ix right up into space. He tries to get back to Earth, but, only succeeds in getting too close to the sun and burns to nothing.

Back on Earth, Shade transforms to her normal self and remarks that the punishment was brutal, but, not undeserved. Rotor realizes the Nocturnus Clan has no real leader now and Scylla is still at large. Chaos returns the green emerald to Emerl and scatters the other six emeralds on Earth, as it didn’t want them messing around with its power all the time and that they were in this mess because of the Emeralds. Sonic doesn’t want things going like the West Island as Chaos floats away. Tikal and Shade bid a tearful farewell, as Shade knows that unlike Knuckles, she can’t talk with Tikal as she’s not related to her. Shade notes her old clan has been stopped for now. There are still a few Gizoids out there, so, Sonic tells his friends they should be prepared for them in the future.

Meanwhile, unknown to the heroes, Eggman is complaining after being teleported to his lair and slipping on a banana peel while being seen by Grounder and Scratch as the movie ends.

## Trivia

* The beginning of the movie has Brandon, Blake, Rachael, and Riff all gathered together to discuss that the movie is Chaos’ return and the enemies of the story are the Nocturnus Clan.
* The ending has the Avatars praising the movie before Eggman complains he wasn’t in it until this stinger and the evil scientist is teleported back to his lair before Brandon makes him trip on a banana peel. Riff gives a laugh as the movie finally ends.
* Shade is the first games character to have a Super Form that didn’t in the original games.
	+ Though Sonia, Sally, Aleena, and Manic also didn’t have Super Forms, they didn’t appear in the games, either.
