## Plot

Act 1 of the crossover begins with Brandon Mutt chilling in his chair and his guest crashing through the celling. He introduces himself as Riff and the two bring up the fact that Eggman is very unoriginal with his robots, as one of them ripped off the Starship Enterprise.

Meanwhile, Eggman and his robot, E-64 Rubix, has interrupted a double date with Sonic, Sally, Bunnie, and Antoine, saying he caught them by surprise, only for both couples to disagree. Sonic adds that the humans, too, haven't fallen for his tricks and he's fallen into a predictable routine: he does a supposedly generous move, says he turns a new leaf, reveal he was lying, and attacks shortly after. Eggman is annoyed, but, tells the robot to attack anyway. Antoine realizes that the block splits into smaller blocks and Eggman relishes in the fact everyone will never figure out the brain of the robot, only for Sally to point out it's in the middle. Eggman fumbles a bit before realizing finding the middle will be difficult.

Suddenly, a voice uses an attack called Sonic Wind and it slices through a cube, causing it to explode. Sonic, Sally, Bunnie, and Antoine turn toward the voice and they realize it's an older looking Sonic. At the sound of Eggman's voice, the new Sonic realizes this Eggman is as much of a nutcase as the one from his own world. The older Sonic tells the younger Sonic he'll take care of Eggman's robots, much to the younger Sonic's confusion, and the older Sonic quickly kicks the blocks to pieces before creating a Sonic Wind. He slices the main block in two before blasting a shocked Eggman away with a Tornado Cannon.

Sonic, Sally, Antoine, and Bunnie start bombarding the older Sonic with questions, but, he ignores them and promptly walks over to an older Sally with what appears to be a maternity dress on and looking rather sick. The older Sonic asks if they can go to the group's safehouse and Sonic agrees to it, but, not before calling the older Sonic GX. GX Sonic is a bit surprised at being called as such, but, he then sees GX stitched onto his vest, which he never noticed before. The Mobians all head to the Thorndyke Mansion.

GX Sonic and GX Sally react in great shock and awe at the mansion and Sonic tries to explain that he and Sally landed in the pool after escaping the cops, but, he realizes how ridiculous that sounded. GX Sally then asks for ginger ale as she is about to throw up and Ella quickly hands her a glass, much to Sonic's surprise, but, she explains she's developed a sixth sense to know just what someone needs after years of being a maid. Sonic shrugs as everyone sits down. Amy and Sir Charles enter the room, the former making the GX couple uneasy and the latter shocking GX Sonic and GX Sally (Chris is there, too, but, the GX couple don’t really react to him). Sir Charles is also shocked to hear about his alternate self dying of natural causes and the fact his alternate self was 70 by the time of his death, as he is merely 40 and chemicals had made him look old. GX Sonic admits that the reason why Sir Charles is older in his world wouldn't be appropriate for kids like Cream to know and Sonic asks how the GX couple got there. GX Sonic explains about something known as the Phantom Ruby, something so powerful, it brought him to life after he died. Aleena is shocked something could be so powerful and Sonia deduces that destroying it could bring more harm than good, as she had seen a broken Chaos Emerald do serious damage. GX Sonic said his group of Freedom Fighters put it somewhere where the ruby wouldn't be found, but, someone did find the ruby while he was looking after GX Sally, a wormhole opened and they were on Earth. Sonic admitted his group were in the same boat and Manic tries to ask about GX Sally before Amy shuts him up. GX Sonic and GX Sally reveal they are due to be parents to twins within the month, Julayla and Charles. Much to their surprise, Amy is ecstatic about this and she hopes her other self ends up with a good Mobian, much to GX Sonic and GX Sally's worry.

Before Amy could get answers, Bokkun came crashing in through the window and shows the group a message from Eggman, revealing that he captured GX Sonic's friends and overheard his talk on the Phantom Ruby, much to GX Sonic's horror. Eggman tells GX Sonic to get his friends and GX Sonic slices the monitor in half as Bokkun flies off. Hope realizes this is a trap and the group hear a new voice coming from a non-roboticized Jules, the father of GX Sonic, who wrapped into the room. He tells his son that his brother, sister, and mother had been captured as well and it's revealed they all come from a planet known as Riccio. Aleena is shocked to hear that such a planet exists as she thought it was a legend, but, GX Sonic admits it depends on the universes. It's also made known that GX Jules and GX Sir Charles are 30 years apart, much to Sir Charles' shock, and NICOLE realizes that GX Jules is an Elemental-Type with the Legendary Affinity for Space. GX Sonic wants to know what the HF group are talking about, but, tells them he needs to save his friends first. GX Jules can take five volunteers including himself and Aleena agrees to bring more. Both Sonics offer to go, as does Sally, Tails, Bunnie, and Antoine. NICOLE offers to teleport herself and Shard. GX Sally offers to sit this one out due to her condition and Hope decides to look into the Phantom Ruby some more and make a tracker. The rescue party heads out.

At Eggman's base, he is chatting to Snively about getting the robots ready and how Sonic and his friends won't have the drop on them, only for the heroes to burst into the room. GX Jules demands to know where his wife, other kids, and his son's friends are and he explains he escaped thanks to his space powers. Instead of answering GX Jules' questions, Eggman tells A.D.A.M to release his "surprises," and it turns out to be Metal Sonic. Shard tries to attack, but, before he could transform, Metal Sonic's eyes glow and he can't attack because he has a Control Transmitter, rendering Shard helpless. Sonic and Sally prepare a Double Spin Dash, only to get hit by energy blasts by Metal Sally, who was previously known as Sallybot. Eggman also tries to surprise the group by getting Metal Sally to move extremely quickly, but, Sally uses her Grapple Whip to knock Metal Sally into a wall. This gets Shard to snap out of his trance, transform, and use Cyber End on Metal Sonic. It does a lot of damage, but, not enough to destroy him and Metal Sonic is able to repair himself. Instead of rushing to attack the others however, Metal Sonic rushes over to collect Metal Sally and fly her away, bridal style, much to Sonic's bewilderment. Bunnie gets the group to leap into battle and Eggman and Snively release the Egg Pawns.

Meanwhile, GX Tails, GX Dulcy, GX Rotor, GX Nicole, GX Shard, GX Antoine, GX Bunnie, GX Manic, GX Sonia, and GX Aleena are trapped in an energy cage, and GX Tails hopes their EMP works. He plugs GX Nicole into the cannon and she gets to work. The cage deactivates and the lights all flicker in the base. The Badniks and SWATBots short circuit. GX Sonia notes that while the power was a bit much, it worked and GX Manic manipulates the floors and walls through the impurities of the earth still in metal and GX Sonia asks him why he didn’t do it before, to which GX Manic responds that it was his first time doing it. GX Sonia is about to smack her younger brother when they notice the rescue team fighting the Egg Pawns below. GX Bunnie and GX Antoine perform a move of their own: Cross Slash, where GX Bunnie changes her arm into a blade form and she and GX Antoine use their swords at the same time to destroy some of the Egg Pawns and make an X mark on the ground. The GX group sans GX Aleena get down and GX Sonic tells his friends that the other group are alternate versions of themselves. NICOLE and Shard use a Cyber End move together and Team Acorn use their Team Blast, Acorn Judgement, to take out more Egg Pawns. Snively and Eggman make a retreat, but, another robot decides to make himself known to the group: Sphere-Bot. Unfortunately for Eggman, this fails to intimidate Sonic, even more so that Eggman admits he didn’t build Sphere-Bot. Sphere-Bot admits he was actually built by GX Gerald Robotnik, who ruled Riccio, and now he serves a new master. This master turns out to be the Phantom Ruby, made into its physical form of Infinite. After mocking Sonic a bit, Infinite explains he’ll severally hurt the group and GX Aleena tells GX Jules to mass teleport everyone away, to which he does. Infinite tells Sphere-Bot that the Mobians of both worlds can’t stop Infinite if they tried as he’s a god to them and he decides to send replicas to stop them. Eggman tries to stop him, but, Infinite just mocks Eggman and pretends he’s falling out of the sky, which is what actually happens to Eggman moments later. He shattered some bones, but, is miraculously alive.

Meanwhile, the heroes are all transported back to the Thorndyke Mansion and Sonic explains they saw the Phantom Ruby. GX Manic tries to explain the details, but, GX Bunnie quiets him down. Amy asks what happened to her GX self and wonders if she avoided capture. GX Tails asks if anyone wishes to explain and GX Nicole tells Amy her other self has been dead for about 7 years straight. Poor Amy is shocked beyond belief and Dulcy has to confirm it’s true. Manic asks how that’s possible and GX Sonic asks Amy if she’s still obsessed with his doppel, to which Amy replies she’s given up that crush months ago. GX Sonic and GX Sally explain their Amy had let this obsession get the better of her, accused GX Sally of brainwashing GX Sonic, and tried to kill her. Suddenly, the group hear a voice and they see GX Amy on the ceiling, causing Mighty, both Antoines, and both Bunnies to react in shock more vocally than the others. GX Amy addresses her master that she’s found the group and Vincent comes out, addressing GX Amy as Loathing. GX Sonic tells Aleena to get GX Sally away from the enemy and she does do as Vincent tells GX Sonic that it’s time for the rematch as act one ends.
