## Plot

The episode begins with the Egg Fort II flying over the Thorndyke Mansion and Antoine and Bunnie quickly notice the three Chaos Emeralds (blue, cyan, and yellow) in the containment unit disappear as Tails checks over to realize the green Emerald in the X Tornado was gone, too. Sally quickly radios in to tell everyone that Eggman was onto them from the start and built a device to whisk away the other Emeralds to him. Antoine tells Sally about the Egg Fort II being right above them and she assures them that she and the triplets would keep Eggman from getting to the emerald. Tails says they can't use the X Tornado as it needs an Emerald to power it, so, Rotor says they'd take the Y Tornado instead. Meanwhile, Aleena grabs four 50 Power Rings, much to Rotor and Chuck's curiosity, and she explains they are for her children and Sally to help fight Eggman and there's another reason that Tails says they'll discuss later.

In the Egg Fort II, Chris is still lamenting over the fact he put everyone in danger, but, Hope says that Eggman played everyone for fools. She also tells him that self pity and loathing wouldn't get them anywhere and that Sonic and the other Mobians would never give up on them and they needed to focus on trying to escape. Chris asks how that's possible as Eggman confiscated the Shield Capsules and Hope's EMP, but, Hope points out they aren't bound by chains and they need to play it smart because fighting their way out is a bad idea. Hope then reveals that Colin had allowed her to keep one of her bobby pins and she manages to open the lock. Chris is surprised that Eggman would be using a lock that could be opened with a bobby pin and Hope realizes there must be a guard close by. As they look around, they see a Moto-Bug on patrol. Hope explains that they have a high vibration frequency and hitting it hard would cause it to break from its own vibrations. As Hope distracts it, Chris throws a wrench at it, and it shatters, causing a Flicky to fly out. The Flicky nuzzles Chris in a grateful manner and tells the kids it can lead them to safety. Chris is surprised that Hope can understand Flickies and she explains that she's spent so much time with Mobians, it comes naturally to her. The three of them come across a Badnik factory and realize it's up to them to free the Mobinis. Unknown to the two kids, Sally and the Royal Hedgehog Triplets are getting closer to the Egg Fort II and Scratch and Grounder are having bets on if Hope and Chris escaped or not and even so, they seriously doubt they had. Just then, Coconuts makes himself known and tells Eggman that Hope and Chris were freeing the Mobinis from the Badnik factory, causing Scratch to win the bet. Eggman quickly gets his robots back on track to try and stop the two kids as the Badnik factory was right by where the Chaos Emeralds were.

By then however, Chris and Hope managed to shut the assembly line down. They spot the Chaos Emeralds and before Chris could grab them, Hope warns him that he'll get killed if he gets too close. Before either could come up with another idea, Scratch and Grounder show up, not highly intelligent robots, but, they do know that prisoners have escaped. The two robots show up and start thinking about if Hope used Chaos Control to get herself and Chris out of there, but, Scratch points out that A) you need all seven emeralds to cause Chaos Control, B) Overlanders can't harness Chaos Energy, and C) the Emeralds are still there, not to mention Chris cannot get to the Emeralds without getting killed. They also talk about Humans and their "backwards technology", still using bullets to harm others and whatnot. Hope tells Chris to not pay mind to what the Badniks are saying and he assures her he's not. Hope manages to find a tuning fork and says it could help them out a bit. Scratch and Grounder are still looking for Hope and Chris, when the former throws a wrench across the room. While the two robots are distracted, Hope uses the tuning fork to make them vibrate and collapse before she ushers Chris to run before the Dark Rings can repair them. At that moment, Eggman sees they're over the dump where Lucky is waiting, but, Hope managed to disable the device that he made to bring the Chaos Emeralds to him, so he just ops to use the retrieval arm. This turns out to be very unlucky for him however, as Sonic Spin Dashes into the hand, his girlfriend and siblings close behind.

Back inside, Hope uses her retrieved EMP on Decoe and Bocoe, who are screaming in agony. Right at that moment, Snively shows up and regretfully traps his half-sister and gleefully captures Chris while holding a blaster to his head. Hope begs Snively not to hurt Chris and Eggman questions why Hope is helping a human due to their "backwards technology", but, Hope says that while not all humans are good, she deeply values Chris and his friendship and she'd rather live with him than Eggman. The EMP effect wears off and Eggman decides humans make good hostages. While all that was happening, Lucky hands Sonic the final Chaos Emerald, much to Eggman, Decoe, and Bocoe's disgust. Just at that moment, the Beetles emerge and Sonic and Lucky jump out of the way. Eggman scolds Snively for sending out the robots, but, he admits that the E-98 Beetanks are on standby. Sonia catches sight of the insignia on the side of the machines and realizes they were actually machines from G.U.N., not Eggman. The soldiers call up Abraham Tower, saying that the Mobians were in the line of fire and he tells them not to shoot. Much to Sally's shock, Abraham manages to hack into NICOLE to give them the message to get out of the way, but, Sally tells him that Chris and Hope were on board the Egg Fort II. Ignoring Abraham's warning, the soldiers fire anyway. Much to the shock of Decoe, the human's machines were actually doing damage and on the last strike, there's an explosion, but, they managed to get the Egg Shield up. Snively runs a scan on the machines and he realized they were made with pieces of scrap from the destroyed E-Series robots. Eggman becomes angry about the humans copying him, but, Chris retorts that the ship they're in resembles the Starship Enterprise and another robot resembled his Mazinger action figure. Eggman is about ready to blast everyone down below, but, Decoe protests about Lucky, to which Eggman would he happy to get rid of the traitor. The Egg Beam Cannonball fires and Lucky goes flying as Sonic tells Eggman to stop before someone gets hurt, but, after Sally calls out, Sonic realizes that is what Eggman wants. He establishes this further by firing again and Bocoe and Snively fear he might blow up the planet before establishing his empire, but, Eggman has almost lost his sanity by putting finishing off Sonic and his family ahead of building his empire. Upon getting back to reality, Eggman realizes that someone from Mobius must be overseeing the work done to build his replica creations. Hope then gets Eggman to look down below and he realized that Sally and the Hedgehog triplets had activated their Invincibility Shields. Eggman immediately chases after Lucky to get the last Emerald as Sally and the Hedgehogs give chase after Eggman as the squirrelmunk's speed kicks in. They don't get far when Abraham shows up and apologizes for what his soldiers did, to which Manic replies he wasn't at fault. Abraham offers them some more Invincibility Shield capsules, which shocks them as he would have to be an Overlander to be able to have the knowledge and the material to make them. Abraham then ungloves his hands to show his mechanical fifth fingers and reveals he is indeed an Overlander that had been here for over 50 years. He says that's a story for another day as they had more oppressing matters to tend to. After putting his gloves back on, Abraham tells the soldiers not to fire, just to follow Eggman, and the four Mobians take off.

Much to Eggman's surprise, Lucky starts flying away from the Egg Fort II while he designed Lucky he didn't actually build him. Chris says Sonic will stop them regardless, only for Decoe to punch him in the face. Outside, Sally and the triplets jump from Beetle to Beetle and jump onto Manic's hover board to reach Lucky, who Sonic manages to grab. Manic remembers that Lucky is harmless and Sonic gently persuades him to give him the Emerald. Eggman then decides to use his secret weapon: by getting the Egg Fort II to transform into the E-99 Eggsterminator. Scratch suggests calling it the Egg Emperor, but, Eggman retorts there's a robot line with that name already. Sonic is unimpressed with the fact Eggman used a giant robot yet again and asks Sally if her speed is still active, to which she says it is. The two Speed-Types start giving the robot the runaround, but, Eggman then transfers the energy from the Emeralds into E-99. Upon this activation, the Eggsterminator starts to give Sonic and Sally a runaround of their own, but, Snively realizes that no one ordered the robot to move and it was acting on it's own accord. The Eggsterminator then punches Sonic and Sally through the buildings, much to Hope and Chris' horror, and to their surprise, the Eggsterminator turned on Eggman, calling him an insignificant pilot. Snively fears that it's having an AI override.

Meanwhile, the Y Tornado is approaching fast, Aleena telling Tails to get in as close as possible. Amy wishes to destroy the robot herself, but, Mighty states that they have the queen of Christmas Island here and even SHE can't do anything. Ray suggests they need a plan, but, before anything could be done, the Eggsterminator smashes the Beetles, killing the humans inside them. Sonic then realizes that they can't let Eggman kill anymore humans and he, his siblings, and Sally get given the 50 Power Rings from the Y Tornado. Eggman now feels terror within him and Scratch asks if it's a good thing that he killed the humans. Eggman says while he's evil, he wouldn't want to do that as there would be nothing to rule and the Eggsterminator tells him that he's weak if he won't take out his enemies. Sonic then approaches Eggman with major injuries and demands for Hope and Chris, but, then the Eggsterminator begins to glow red and the four Mobians quickly activate their Invincibility Shields. A G.U.N. helicopter hovers above and Rouge and Topaz want to move in, but, the pilot says it'd be too dangerous and Rouge realizes the Chaos Emeralds must be used to power the robot. The Eggsterminator then picks up Sonic, Sally, Sonia, and Manic as Chris cries out for them, only for Eggman to demand to put them down. As the Eggsterminator kicks the four Mobians away, Chris breaks free from his restrains, knocks the remote away from Snively and grabs the remaining Chaos Emeralds. He tells them the Emeralds belong to his friends as Chaos Poisoning starts to seep into him, which Eggman said would kill him within the hour. Chris doesn't care, as this is his chance to do something worthwhile in his last moments of life. Hope activates her jet pack to fly herself and Chris to safety as the robot starts to fall and Chris starts coughing up blood. Seeing that Chris was about to die, Hope starts flying him to the Y Tornado so Aleena could save him, but, the Eggsterminator grabs her about to crush her and Chris also drops the Chaos Emeralds into the sea. Just as Knuckles and Julie-Su break into the robot to give Eggman a beat-down, a glow starts coming from the ocean. Cream gets curious and Aleena explains that when someone from her family has at least 50 Power Rings and the seven Chaos Emeralds, the miracle known as the super transformation happens. Sonic comes out with gold quills, now Super Sonic, Sonia has silver quills, becoming Super Sonia, Manic is now bronze, Super Manic, and, much to Aleena's surprise, Sally now has sapphire blue fur, with her placeholder name being Super Sally. Snively, Bocoe, and Decoe wonder what to do next, but, Eggman says they can't do anything as Chaos Control is about to take form. Sally is in awe of the new super forms and the fact she herself has one. Super Sonia quickly destroys the hand holding Chris and Hope and Super Manic and Super Sally fly them to the safety of the Y Tornado. The four Super Mobians take to the sky, taking down the Eggsterminator and then activate Chaos Control. Tails tells Chuck that he and Chris would see what Mobius is like, to which he says would be nice. Danny, Helen, and Frances witness it as well and lament they never got to say goodbye.

Inside the warp, Chris comes face to face with Hope, Aleena, and the Super Mobians, still very weak. Chris fears he wouldn't make it because of the Chaos Poisoning he took and that it was his fault Eggman got his hands on the emeralds, but, Sonia tells him Eggman would have tried to get them either way and Manic says he was awesome. Sonic tells him they can now go home thanks to him and uses Chaos Absorb to get rid of the radiation Chris took. While grateful, Chris still feels upset like he let everyone down. Aleena tells him that Eggman played everyone for fools despite their best efforts and he is a good human as Hope tells him that he exceeded her expectations. Soon, the Mobians and Hope begin to fade away as Chris begins to cry.

For some reason though, instead of sending the Mobians, Overlanders, Mobinis, and Chao back home, two locations from Mobius, Angel Island and Mystic Ruins, are assimilated into Earth. With his home brought forth, Knuckles resumes his task of guarding the Master Emerald and Julie-Su decides to join him. Eggman and his evil team are battered, but, Eggman doesn't waver from his goals. Chris meanwhile is shocked his surroundings changed and Sonic and Sally help him up, saying that they brought some of Mobius to Earth by mistake and they'd be sticking around a bit longer as the episode, Chaos Emerald Saga, and season 1 comes to a close.

## Differences between this and the real episode.

* The real episode begins with Frances, Helen, and Danny doing a Next puppet show with a puppet Cream watching it. Here, it starts with Antoine, Bunnie, and Tails realizing the Chaos Emeralds were gone because Eggman stole them with his device. By the time the real episode kicks off, the emeralds were already in Eggman's possession due to tricking Knuckles.
* The scene with the President and his new adviser, Christina Cooper, had been cut, as had the scene with Topaz giving Rouge a new gem with Knuckles hanging on below the helicopter. Both of them were likely dropped to include the Badnik factory scene.
* Knuckles and Julie-Su enter the robot much later than Knuckles did in the real episode.
* In the real episode, Eggman is impressed he wiped out the Beetles. Here, he's horrified as that meant lives were lost.
* In the real episode, Rouge was the one to grab Chris, but, it was for the selfish reason of wanting the Chaos Emeralds and he drops them, causing her to curse herself for letting the Emeralds slip from her grasp. In this episode, Hope uses her jetpack to rush Chris to safety, but, the Emeralds slip out by accident.
* The Eggsterminator wasn't running on it's own in the real episode, but, in this one, it had an AI override.
* In the real episode, the humans had somehow managed to replicate Eggman's designs. In this episode, it was because Abraham Tower, an Overlander, was overseeing operations.
* Chris was merely in pain in the real episode when he grabbed the Emeralds. Here, he had Chaos Poisoning that would kill him in the next hour. In addition, it was implied in the real episode that he was healed because Sonic used a different kind of Chaos ability to heal him, but, here, it's shown that Sonic was absorbing the energy.
* In the real episode, when Tails tells Chuck he's coming with them to Mobius, Chuck says it would be a pleasure. Here, he says it would be fair for him to see what their world would be like after seeing Earth.
* In the real episode, the closing line is "Hey, long time no see." In this episode, the closing line is "We brought some of Mobius to Earth. So, you're stuck with us a little longer, buddy."
