### Summary

#### before intro

In the jungle, Master Daniel plays hide and seek with Master Elida and Master Olivia. Daniel finds them among the legs of AT-TE and AT-AP. Daniel feels like it's just like the time before the Big War, but they wonder why Sonic didn't come to play with them. In the same moment, Sonic appears and play with Amy Rose among the tree tops and ignoring the masters. AT-TE and AT-AP think they are were cute together but Daniel is very disappointed that Sonic didn't come to play with them.

#### after intro

Sonic and Amy swing one after another until Amy is about to fall, but Sonic saves her and decides it enough for today, but Amy insists on trying again. When they return home to the Jade Palace, Daniel, Elida, Olivia, AT-TE, and AT-AP see them and the group notices that Daniel is jealous of Amy because Sonic spends more time with her than with him (which Daniel denies). Sonic arrives, apologizing for being late to their play and asking what they were talking about Amy.

AT-AP tries to hidden Daniel's jealousy, but when Daniel is about to explain, Sonic tricks him by saying it was a snake behind him and throws himself at Daniel so they both roll off. When they come out of the Valley of Peace, Daniel and Sonic play tag while AT-TE looked after them. Eventually, Daniel ends up in a big ruinous stump. When he comes out, he's got a lot of spiders on him. AT-TE becomes hysterical and gets Daniel in a pond to get rid of the spiders. Daniel asks what's wrong with these spiders, but a spider bites Sonic in the chest, but Sonic knocks it away and continues playing with Daniel.

Later, when Sonic returns home, Amy notices the spider bite that has become a large red mark on Sonic's chest. They all gather inside the Hall of Warriors where Shifu studies the bite while AT-TE describes the spider. Crane finds the info about the spider in a scroll and tells them that If they do nothing, Sonic will die. Sonic tells them that he is fine and Po supports it since spider bites are not dangerous to animals as them. But Elida tells them that the Red back spider's bite can kill an elephant. Shifu tells that the only antidote is the root of the muboo flower and it only grows at high elevations in constant moisture (top of a waterfall).

Amy wants to go and find the flower, but Sonic doesn't want her to go and says he'll be fine. But Amy insists by going and getting the flower. Sonic decides that if Amy goes he joined and there Team Sonic, the Kung fu warriors and the talking vehicles as well. On the way, Daniel complains, not believing anything that the spider bite is so dangerous, but AT-TE says that if Sonic is really sick, he will die. Daniel thinks abot it, this but adds that Amy has just come to the Kung Fu Panda Wall and she knows a lot about it already.

Soon, Daniel starts giving insults to Amy because she's too slow and that Sonic has to constantly help her. But Amy gives insults back, but while they were arguing, a large snake sneaks up on Amy, but before it could attack, Sonic knocks it down from the tree. The snake rushes up into the trees and tries to sneak attack the group, but Sonic follows it up into the tree. Shifu says that the spider venom is affecting Sonic's motor skills. Sonic falls down with the snake coiled around him and both fall down a cliff. The group look for them, Sonic gets up (while the snake probably fell to his death). Sonic says he's fine and Daniel supports it, but Sonic gets a reaction in his arm.

Soon, Sonic begins to struggle to keep up with the others. Amy advises him to sit on AT-TE but Sonic refuses. The group comes to a chasm, Sonic tries to grab a vine that they could to get over, but his vision starts to faint (due to the spider venom), he miss the vine and falls to the bottom of the ravine (he hits branches in the process that dampens his fall). There comes a flock of wild Jackals (Sonic was too injured and weak to fight or escape). The Kung Fu Warriors, Team Sonic and the talking Vehicles intervene and scare away the Jackals. Amy tries to help Sonic get to his feet, but he falls over. Daniel finally realizes how serious the spider bite is. Shifu examines him and says that Sonic doesn't have much time left.

Sonic is lying on the roof of the AT-TE driver's compartment where he has horrible reactions. When they reach the waterfall, Elida realizes that Sonic can't get any further, so they lay him down on the ground. Amy say to Sonic that she will be back with the flower. But Daniel insists he should go. But Sonic tells them both to go get the flower. Daniel and Amy climb the cliff next to the waterfall while the others stay with Sonic. Sonic begins to hallucinate and envisions the Vehicles as the Arkeyans, Po as Dr. Eggman, and Shifu as The Unknown Enemy. It scares Sonic that he pulls away and is about to fall down the cliff, but Crane saved him.

When Daniel and Amy arrive at the top of the waterfall, they are surprised that there are no flowers there. Daniel is distraught, but then Amy notices a muboo flower on a rock ledge in the middle of the falls. Daniel sees no way to get the flower, but Amy says that Sonic's life hangs in the balance. and order Daniel to hold on to a vine she ties around her waist and plans to jump off the waterfall, pick the flower and Daniel will pull her up. Daniel thinks it's a good idea, but he doesn't think Amy can't pull this off. Then Amy can't take any more of Daniel's insults and says that regardless of whether Daniel likes or doesn't like her, Sonic will die if they don't get the flower. Amy jumps off the waterfall but miss twice on the rock ledge. (Both times, the vine threatens to twitch). The third attempt, Amy get the flower, but then the vine twitches. She hold on to the rock ledge. Daniel jumps into the water to get the vine, but he falls off the waterfall. Daniel and Amy hang on the ver end of the vine hanging by the rock ledge. Amy refuses to give up, Daniel climbs up to the rock ledge and tosses Amy to a tree. Amy ties the liana to the branch so Daniel swings to the tree as well. They hurry back to the others and give the flower to Crane who starts making the antidote. When it's finished, Amy hjelp the lifeless Sonic drink it. Soon, Sonic wakes up and the others are relieved. Sonic hugs both Amy and Daniel.

Later, play Sonic, Amy and Daniel together. Sonic and Amy hide in high grass, then Daniel throws himself over them, but they disappear again in the grass. Daniel looking for them, then Sonic and Amy throw themselves at Daniel and give him a tickle attack.
