## Synopsis

On the Starcaster, TFAWPS have a team meeting. Sonic informs the team that they have not been very successful lately. He points out that they've failed to secure another round of peace talks and they've failed to stop Captain Cowboy and Pig King managed to escape. Sonic also points out that Mega Man has gone missing while going after Cell. Sonic once again says he's going to split the teams up in three and one will go after Pig King, another will go after Cell and the third will go find Mega Man. Pink Panther speaks up says, with all due respect, that splitting the team up hasn't been working for them and suggests that the team pick one angle and focus on that. Sonic realizes that Pink Panther is right and agrees that they'll have to focus on one thing at a time. Sonic asks the team for a vote on what they should do first. Pink Panther, Paco, and Buster vote to go after Mega Man. Mofo, Roy, and G. Biv vote to go after Cell, and Sonic, Lupina, and Wally vote to go after Pig King. With only one vote remaining, Ted is forced to break the tie. He briefly flashes back to his conversation with King Salamence and Queen Lucy and decides to go after Pig King. With that settled, Ted says he can contact Luigi, an agent of S.E.C.R.E.T. and have him go after Mega Man. Sonic agrees, and the team prepares to head out and suggests they do it quickly, as he notices Simpson and Popstar warships preparing for a battle nearby.

Somewhere on a desolate planet, Cell and Genesect look over the shard collection. They deliberate whether or not they should assemble the Infinity Dagger, or wait until they have all six to assemble the Infinity Sword. Genesect suggests building the Dagger now which he believes will make the search for the other four shards immensely easier while Cell suggests waiting until they have all six, as to attract less attention. Android 16 and Android 17 arrive and inform Cell that they have stumbled upon a location of a third shard and the four of them set out to retrieve it.

During the Starcaster's travels, Roy and G. Biv begin having strange headaches. Concerned, Mofo and Buster talk to them about what's going on. G. Biv explains that ever since they were forced to work for the Entity, things have been different, like they feel like they have a leash on and can't access the full strength of their powers. Buster questions why that's still the case since Oscar and Phoebe killed the Entity. Roy explains that he has a theory. Mofo asks and Roy explains that he believes that when the Entity exploded, the cosmic energy merged with the power of the Infinity Dagger and managed to create Cell and since Cell still is technically made up of the Entity, it still has control over them. Buster realizes that in order for the Rainbow Twins to reach their full potential, they need to take out Cell. G. Biv also says that not just that, they also need to stop him from reassembling the shards and creating the Infinity Dagger again. Mofo asks why they haven't told Sonic yet, and Roy explains that Sonic is on a warpath to fix his mistake on Planet Popstar and understands that he won't listen to any other reason, but reassures Mofo and Buster that they'll manage to defeat Cell eventually and shouldn't worry about it now since it'll take a long time for him to find any shards, since they could be anywhere in the universe by now. Just then, Pink Panther enters their room and says that the computer has tracked down a shard.

In the meeting room, Sonic informs the team of a change of plans. He says that now that the shards are seemingly back in play, they're going to need to shift priorities. He says that the team will have to split up and he'll take point on the shard retrieval mission while Pink Panther leads the mission to locate and stop Pig King. Sonic says that Lupina and Wally will stay behind with the Starcaster while the rest of them will split off into two teams of four. The Rainbow Twins volunteer to accompany Sonic to collect the shard while Ted volunteers to go with Pink Panther to find Pig King. Paco decides to join Sonic and the Rainbow Twins and Mofo and Buster join Pink Panther and Ted. With the teams formed, Sonic wishes the other team great success and Pink Panther likewise reciprocates.

While alone on a moon, Pig King urges Dr. Robotnik to hurry up and fix the wormhole machine. Dr. Robotnik insists that things will go a lot quicker if Pig King stops talking and helps him. Meanwhile, Captain Cowboy asks Master Robot how he is able to put up with working with a delusional jerk like Pig King and Master Robot simply replies that, while it may look like delusion, Pig King is still a genius as he was able to build Master Robot himself, which modestly speaking is a great achievement all on its own. Pig King admits that if he and Dr. Robotnik continue to work together, they would be able to create some of the greatest inventions ever seen in the history of the universe. Dr. Robotnik says that he's already done it without him. Pig King berates Dr. Robotnik for being such a jerk, but Captain Cowboy ultimately breaks up the squabble, indicating that he'd like them to focus on fixing the machine so he can finally get paid.

In the Negative Zone, Agent Yellow and Bart stand at attention while Zack explains that since they are the only not-natives to the Negative Zone, they are in charge, and therefore in command of the soldiers. Agent Yellow likes this idea and says that they'll be the most powerful group in the galaxy with these soldiers. Zack agrees and says that once they escape they'll be able to find the shards in no time at all. Bart says that he's unsure, remembering what these soldiers were capable of last time, but Agent Yellow reassures him that this time they'll be in control and everything will be alright. Zack says all they have to do now is wait for the wormhole to open and they can begin again.

On the moon, Pig King and Dr. Robotnik finally finish the device. As they complete the device, Pink Panther, Ted, Mofo, and Buster arrive and begin attacking Master Robot, Captain Cowboy and Pig King. As they prepare for a fight, Dr. Robotnik quickly fires up the wormhole device, but Mofo quickly shuts it down and begins attacking Dr. Robotnik. As Ted fights Master Robot, he considers what to do about the wormhole device. Pink Panther fights Captain Cowboy for the first time. Pink Panther warns them that they won't go easy on them if they open up that portal. Buster chases down Pig King and makes sure he is also unable to turn the device on. Inside the Negative Zone, Zack is able to see the fighting going on on the outside, much to his anger.

Meanwhile, Sonic, Paco, and the Rainbow Twins arrive at the shard's location. Paco comments that it was pretty easy, but Sonic quickly stops him and says that every time they say that, things always get extremely less easy. Suddenly, both Popstar and Simpson spaceships converge above their location and begin firing on each other. Sonic sarcastically comments that this is exhibit A. In addition, TFAWPS witness the arrival of Cell, Genesect, and the Androids as well. Sonic sarcastically comments that this is exhibits B, C, D, and E. Sonic quickly orders the team to each take one and don't let them anywhere near that shard. Sonic faces off with Genesect who comments that it's been a while since they've last seen each other and Genesect taunts Sonic saying that he's out of shape now. Cell faces off with Paco, while the Rainbow Twins fight the Androids. As the fight rages on, Meta Knight looks down from the Halberd and sees his enemies. Meta Knight then calls a group of elite Popstar fighters to his side and says that he has located Popstar war criminals and terrorists and lies to them saying that King Kai has ordered they be sent back to Planet Popstar dead. Back on the ground, Sonic and Genesect continue to exchange insults, when Sonic notices a Popstar ship landing close by. Realizing that this is Meta Knight, Sonic quickly orders Paco to grab the shard and make a run for it. Hearing this, Paco grabs the shard and makes a run for it, with Cell close behind. As Cell chases down Paco, he orders the Androids to follow him. Sonic says he'll do him one better and sends the Rainbow Twins after the Androids. Sonic then mutters to himself that he really hopes this works and then bolts towards the Simpson fleet, with Genesect and Meta Knight close behind.

Pink Panther continues to take on Captain Cowboy, even complimenting his fighting skills. Captain Cowboy ignores this and continues the fight. As Ted and Master Robot continue their fight, Ted stops short and Master Robot also stops and asks what's going on. Ted says that he's thinking and Master Robot curiously approaches and asks what he's thinking about. Ted says that it won't work and refuses to tell Master Robot anything, reminding him that he's one of the bad guys. Meanwhile, Dr. Robotnik grabs a freeze ray and aims it at Mofo. Mofo manages to call out Ted's name, snapping him out of his funk and rushes down to rescue Mofo, who picks him up and flies him to safety. The freeze ray misfires and accidentally hits Captain Cowboy, much to Pink Panther's delight. Noticing a brief opportunity, Dr. Robotnik quickly fires up the wormhole device and turns it on, however it is quickly made clear that Zack, Agent Yellow, and Bart are still unable to pass through. Zack yells at Dr. Robotnik asking him what the problem is and Dr. Robotnik says that for the first time in his life he doesn't know. He calls Pig King over, but Pig King replies that he's still quite busy dealing with Buster. Ted and Mofo return and manage to knock Pig King to the side. Pig King returns to the wormhole device and tries to open the portal but realizes that it won't open. Dr. Robotnik then realizes that they'll need some kind of cosmic energy in order to open it. Zack angrily orders them to go find some.

On a Simpson ship, Allister McCallister orders his troops to hold their fire when he notices Sonic approaching. Quickly letting him in, Sonic apologizes and informs McCallister that he is being chased by a genocidal maniac as well as Planet Popstar's best fighters. McCallister then questions Sonic on what exactly he'd like him to do about it and points out that he's currently in the middle of a battle. Sonic lies and tells McCallister that Genesect is working with the Popstars to assassinate McCallister and Sonic then promises to deal with the Popstars. Agreeing to the deal, McCallister orders his ship to focus fire on Genesect. Genesect realizes what's happening and quickly retreats before he is blown to pieces by Simpson warships. Sonic then rushes out to meet the Popstar fighters and Meta Knight. Meta Knight greets Sonic by asking him if all of this fighting was what he wanted. Sonic replies that Meta Knight knows nothing about him and, noticing something approaching, offers Meta Knight a quick crash course. Meta Knight is then attacked by the combined forces of Kirby, Mega Man, Mario, and Luigi. Sonic greets his allies and tells them that he'll handle the fighters, while Mario and Luigi quickly find Paco as he has a shard and will be in desperate need of back up. Mega Man goes after Genesect. Sonic then begins his fight with the Popstar warriors.

Paco, still being chased by Cell, decides to double back, causing Cell to crash into a rock wall, angering him. The Rainbow Twins then fire energy blasts at the Androids, knocking them down. After dispatching the Androids, the Rainbow Twins attack Cell. The Rainbow Twins demand that Cell release them from his grasp, but Cell says he has no idea what they're talking about. This interaction gives Paco time to put some distance between himself and Cell. Meanwhile, Kirby battles Meta Knight, with the latter calling Kirby a traitor. Kirby then reveals that he renounced his Popstar citizenship and allegiances and says Meta Knight has only himself to thank for that. Meta Knight replies saying that it's a shame because Kirby is still a brilliant soldier, and it's too bad Meta Knight will have to put him down. As Genesect battles Mega Man, Sonic manages to beat back the last of Popstar's elite forces. Sonic then joins Kirby and helps him briefly knock Meta Knight out. Sonic comments that Meta Knight won't stay down alone and that Kirby should escape quickly. Kirby initially is reluctant to do so, but Sonic convinces him that he'll do more good alive than dead and Kirby agrees to retreat. As Meta Knight wakes up, he says that King Kai won't let Sonic get away with harboring a war criminal, but Sonic says that at this point he doesn't really care, just as Allister McCallister's forces mass behind him. Noticing he is outmatched, Meta Knight orders the remainder of his troops to retreat and returns to the Halberd.

Sonic returns to Mega Man and tells him to help Kirby find some place safe, and begins to fight Genesect again. As they fight, Paco returns with the shard and, realizing Paco has the shard, Genesect gives chase and Paco is eventually cornered by both Cell and Genesect. The Rainbow Twins and Sonic catch up to them while Mario and Luigi arrive with Android 16 and Android 17 in handcuffs. During the standoff, everyone looks at each other waiting for someone to make a move. Just then, Sonic's ringtone goes off and is embarrassed when everyone hears that his ringtone is the show's theme song. Sonic then excuses himself to take the call and Lupina informs him that the Simpsons need to clean up the battlefield and they need to move the Starcaster away and says that they should probably leave now. Sonic says he'll be there in a sec and hangs up the phone. Sonic says that they need to come up with some kind of solution fast because Sonic can't afford another parking ticket. The Androids then burn through the handcuffs and knock Mario and Luigi down, Cell then hits Paco with an energy blast while Genesect steals the shard and the four villains make their escape. Sonic then calls Lupina and says they'll need a ride and quick and she says she's already on it and Wally opens the door to the Starcaster and lets Sonic, Paco, the Rainbow Twins, Mario, and Luigi inside and they quickly give chase to Cell's ship across the galaxy.

Pink Panther, Ted, Mofo, and Buster catch up with Pig King and Dr. Robotnik and they realize that their plans have failed. Pink Panther says that all this time it was for nothing. Meanwhile, Master Robot carefully unfreezes Captain Cowboy and the two rejoin the rest of the group. As they all prepare for another fight, they all look up and witness Cell's ship crash down from the sky. Cell, Genesect, and the Androids all emerge from the wreckage and are immediately brought into the standoff. Pink Panther, Ted, Mofo, and Buster are shocked to learn that Cell has formed an alliance with Genesect. Just then, the Starcaster lands and Sonic, Paco, the Rainbow Twins, Wally, Lupina, Mario, and Luigi all exit and everyone joins the stand off with everyone wondering what the next move will be. Zack, Agent Yellow, and Bart watch the whole thing unfold from the Negative Zone in shock.
