## Plot

The episode, Chaos saga, and season 2 begins with Big and his pal Froggy sleeping when something falling from the sky wakes them up. Froggy hops over to the spot and sees a Chaos Emerald. Big follows and sees the Emerald as well, noting he's been avoiding them for 10 years and just now they stumbled upon one by accident. Then some strange blue liquid comes up behind Froggy and he swallows it. Big asks if his pal is okay and sees that Froggy has somehow grown a tail. Then he swallows the Chaos Emerald Big picked up and hops away with Big in pursuit.

Meanwhile on the President's plane, he remembers what happened six months ago when Chaos Control erupted. Abraham Tower states that two islands, one of them a falling Angel Island, from Mobius appear on the coast of Station Square. He and the advisors he has with him on board including the newly appointed Christina Cooper, are planning to boost the economy by turning Mystic Ruins into a tourist attraction. The President then mentions that he's still worried that Dr. Eggman may strike any time soon, but, one man says that he's got intelligence teams trying to find him. Rouge suggests that he may be taking a break to plan his next move, as he's done this before with the Doomsday Project. Abraham then shows everyone some interesting footage of a Robian destroying Badniks and at first the humans and Abraham thought it was Sonic, but, Rouge points out it can't be him as his quills are too straight and they aren't organic. She also doesn't recognize the figure herself. Regardless, Abraham states that thanks to the mysterious rescuer, there have been zero causalities in the area. The President then asks if there's anymore info on Sonic and Co and Mr. Stewart shows him some photos that they are doing okay.

At the Thorndyke Mansion, Chris, Chuck, Cream, and Cheese are busy having breakfast. Chuck compliments Ella's cooking, but, she admits it was Antoine who made it this time around. Cream then looks sadly away and tells Bunnie that she's missing Tails ever since he went back to the Mystic Ruins workshop. Bunnie reassures Cream that he's probably been saving a lot of hugs for her and Antoine adds that absence makes the heart grow fonder. At this point, Chris turns to Chuck and feels a bit nervous with his question, but, he soon remembers what Lupe and her family had told him and tells his grandfather about the idea to help Helen walking again by giving her family some of their money. Chuck immediately agrees and offers to give him some of his retirement funds, praising Chris on his noble offer. Hope walks in and too praises Chris for his request, Bunnie and Antoine agreeing he's growing up very quickly and Ella cries tears of joy. Mr. Tanaka notes that Chris always wanted to help Helen and now he was making his move.

Elsewhere in Station Square, Amy has moved to an apartment building and thinking how she first thought her heart belonged to Sonic, but, ever since meeting Manic, the pink hedgehog's heart seems to skip a beat whenever she thinks about him. She then laments on having trouble sleeping and eating, though the latter is mostly because she hasn't gone shopping in a while. After starting to feel like she's going crazy when she starts talking to her belly as if it's a person, she gets up to go shopping.

Meanwhile, Eggman in his new fortress has finished manufacturing a new line of robots with Scratch, Grounder, Decoe, Bocoe, and Snively assisting him: the E-100 Series, constructed by putting Mobinis inside them, including a pair of Flickies in the first two, a Pocky in another one and a Picky in the last one. Scratch comments how it seems like a step backwards due to the Badniks Eggman used to make during his earlier days of taking over, but, Eggman assures that the robots can work on their own accord while still being loyal to him. He then reveals their names: E-101 Beta, E-102 Gamma, E-103 Delta, and E-104 Epsilon. Grounder asks what happened to E-100, but, Eggman explains he's the prototype and he's a bit preoccupied at the moment with other matters. He tests his E-100 Series by ordering them to destroy Sonic dolls. Eggman smiles at his work, before Snively gets his attention by telling him that the Badniks are going offline faster than they can be made due to Shard destroying them. The scientist is furious, but, he decides to go off to Station Square anyway.

Unknown to Eggman, Chris and Chuck are heading to Helen's house and explain to Doug about the plan, and that Chuck has more than enough money for them in his bank account. Doug is amazed by this and eagerly calls out to Helen and Jessie, saying Helen would get surgery within a week, much to their delight. Chris blushes with shyness and admits he had this idea for a while, but, he didn't know if would be a good time to put the plan forward and Doug says that Chris would make a good companion for Helen one day. Shortly after, Chris gets a call from Lindsey, saying there's something he must see downtown.

Further out, Bunnie, Cream and Cheese are on a walk with Cream still missing Tails, but, Bunnie assures her by saying that the younger rabbit means the world to Tails. Suddenly, Froggy hops out of nowhere and Cheese gets mixed up with Froggy. Later, Big almost crashes into Cheese and the rabbits, but, he stops himself in time. Cream asks if the frog was his friend and Big replies that they had been friends since Froggy was a tadpole. Cream offers they would help find Froggy and Big introduces himself with his full name: Bigglesworth Timothy Cat, but, insists that the group call him Big as the former name was too much of a mouthful and Cream introduces herself, Bunnie, and Cheese to him. Bunnie then hands Big a Wrister so they could keep in touch and everyone splits up to try and find Froggy. Bunnie and Cream have no luck, but, Big finds a lure for his fishing rod.

Hours past and no one has any luck finding Froggy, much to Big's dismay. At that moment, Mighty and Ray show up and Mighty becomes a bit intimidated when he sees Big because he's the strongest Mobian alive. Chris and Chuck walk over and after a quick introduction, Mighty admits that once he went up against Big and ended up in intensive care because of it. Chris and Chuck reveal they too had found a Chaos Emerald that is tucked inside a box that Lindsey found at a jewelry shop, much to Big's horror. Before anyone could try to explain to Big about the emeralds otherwise, some of the strange liquid that Froggy swallowed showed up at the location. It reforms to show a creature and Cheese greets it warmly. The creature says it would spare them as they seem to be caring for a Chao. Then it starts destroying everything else in sight, scaring the people away. Chris, Cream, and Big start running away while it's not looking.

Elsewhere, Sonic, Sally, and Team Music are on a building, looking around for Chaos. Sally insists that it's a myth, but, Sonic points out the Time Stones and Floating Island trump card again. Sonia asks how they are going to find, let alone recognize Chaos, and Sonic says that according to the legend, it's made of water and Mina wonders if their attacks will pass through it. Suddenly, police helicopters start flying into the city and the quintet get up to follow where they are going.

The police manage to find Chaos and try to fire their guns at it, but, the bullets pass right through Chaos' water, to which the Mobians knew would backfire. Chaos starts smashing through cars and it also reveals it can transform. Sally, Mina, and the Royal Hedgehog triplets arrive on the scene and Chaos senses the strong Chaos Energy radiating off Sally and the hedgehogs, to which Sonic reveals they had been in close contact with all of the Emeralds. Chaos is shocked to hear they stole its creations, but, Cream tries to explain that Eggman stole them first. Chaos then starts to manipulate all the Mobians, but, much to its surprise, Sally and the hedgehogs are immune and they realize it's because they used Super Forms in the past. Sonic then tries out his new move: a Homing Attack, right in Chaos' brain. Sally then copies Sonic while activating her speed on her own volition, much to the surprise of everyone except Mina and the hedgehog triplets. Manic reveals that Sally only needed to go Super once for her to be able to properly tap into her speed and he tells everyone that they decided to name her form Sapphire Sally. Sonic quickly gets everyone back on track and Sonia throws Manic to attack Chaos with her Sonia By Spin combo move, turning Chaos back into water. Then Eggman shows up and before he could give his speech on Chaos, Sonic reveals he knew the plan already. Eggman was very angry that Sonic ruined his speech and unintentionally insults himself, much to Manic and the public's amusement. Eggman then asks when and how they got this information without him announcing it, but, Sally vaguely says they have their methods. Eggman then takes Chris' Chaos Emerald and feeds it to Chaos, transforming it into Chaos 1. Poor Cream jumps back in fright and since Chaos can stay transformed as long as it wants, Sonia turns to her team for a technique they've been working on: a Team Blast called Music Concert. Now with an energy boost, Sonic and Sally try homing attacking Chaos again, but, it didn't work, and to make matters worse, Eggman feeds Chaos with a second Emerald, turning it into Chaos 2.

At that moment, Knuckles and Julie-Su arrive and Chaos recognizes Knuckles as a descendant of the Knuckles Clan, shocking it as it killed all but Tikal 4000 years ago and that the Energy radiating off him matches that of its prison. Before anyone could suggest another idea, Chaos grabs Knuckles forcefully, causing the red echidna to be in great pain. Upon realizing he is indeed Tikal's descendant, Knuckles is released and Chaos says that even though the Clan now goes by the name Brotherhood of the Guardians, it still remembers their sins. Sonic gets protective of his friend and tries to attack, but, a gush of water sends the blue hedgehog to the ground due to Speed-Types being weak against Power-Types. Julie-Su and Manic rush to help Sonic, but, then Ray comes in with an attack to Chaos of his own. Right at that moment, Ray, Manic, and Bunnie, being Fly-Types use some Tether Rings handed to them by Mighty and they force Chaos to become a puddle. Afterwards, Eggman sucks up Chaos 2 into his Eggmobile and flies away. Mighty realizes that Chaos still has the Emeralds and Big tells him they are more trouble than they are worth, but, Mighty insists they need to get them back before Eggman does anything with them. Sonic tells the others to fall back and think of a plan, but, Big says he still needs to find Froggy. Sonia says he can stay out of it, but, the rest had jobs to do and he reveals he's scared of the Chaos Emeralds because his parents died while battling others for them, much to everyone's shock. Sonic is determined to get the Emeralds back before anyone does get hurt, but, Big runs off, Mighty remarking he's never usually a hard case. Sonic asks if Knuckles is okay and he says he's been better while Sonia assures him they'll get some help. The episode ends with Sonic looking at the sky.

## Differences between this, the real episode and Sonic Adventure:

* In both the game and the real episode, Big just regards the Emerald as a lucky charm and doesn't think much of it. Here, he sees it as a danger to himself and others due to the fact his parents died.
* The scene on the plane is extended to fit in the scene with G.U.N. looking at Shard.
* Cream is missing Tails in this episode, while in the original, she was okay with the fact Tails was in the workshop.
* A scene with Lindsey showing Cream, Cheese, and Chris the Chaos Emerald is cut. In it's place is Chris asking Chuck for permission to getting money to help Helen pay for surgery so she can walk. Another reason why it's cut could be because in the real episode, Lindsey still doesn't know Cream is a Mobian bunny instead of a child in a bunny costume.
* Cream and Cheese are seen walking with Bunnie instead of Chris, who was down at Helen's house at the time.
* We don't hear about Alpha/ZERO until later on in the story in the real episode and the game, while in this episode, Eggman mentions him during the discussion about the E-100-Series.
* Amy is more calm when thinking about the fact she's been missing Manic for six months, while in the real episode, she becomes so angry she screams out the window. In addition, Amy decides to go shopping in this episode, when in the real episode, she just takes a walk.
* Big gets through introductions to Bunnie, Cream, and Cheese much quicker than he does with Chris, Cream, and Cheese in the real episode.
* In the real episode and the game, Chaos speaks in bubble noises. Here, it can actually talk.
* Eggman takes the first emerald from Cream in the real episode. Here, he takes it from Chris.
* Knuckles arrives in the real episode when Chaos turns into Chaos 1, but, he and Julie-Su get there when Chaos becomes Chaos 2 in this episode.
* Due to the inclusion of more characters, all Mobians present (with the exceptions of Cream and Big) try to take Chaos down. In the real episode, it was just Sonic and Knuckles in the fight, while in the game, it was just Sonic.
* Chaos doesn't sense Knuckles is a descendant of the Knuckles Tribe in the game or original episode.
* Thanks to Silver's time travelling, Sonic and his friends knew about Chaos well in advance, while the real episode and the game don't give them this luxury.
* In the real episode, Knuckles is still in good shape once the battle's over. Here, he needs treatment.
