## Plot

The episode begins with Hope, Team Balance, Sonia, Von Schlemmer, Mina, Rotor, Bunnie, Antoine, and Chris in the X and Y Tornadoes flying back to the Thorndyke Mansion. Chris is clutching the Grey Chaos Emerald in his hand and asks Hope if they can stop at Angel Island and let Knuckles guard the emerald. Mighty points out that the Master Emerald can either enhance or neutralize the Chaos Emeralds, as well as keep Angel Island floating in the sky. Realizing how intense the power can be, Chris nervously asks Hope if he can get Chaos Poisoning from it and Hope notes that due to it's high amounts of Chaos Energy, it's very likely he would get poisoned if he got too close. Chris notes it would be better to give the grey emerald to someone else to pass to Knuckles, but, Hope points out the Master Emerald may be dormant and Chris would be fine in that case.

Down at the Thorndyke Mansion, those there are watching Tails successfully disarm the missile and saving Station Square in the previous episode via a news report by Scarlet Garcia. She mentions that they want to honor Tails' bravery and that Cream herself has already done that. Both kids, the latter in the former's lap while munching on donuts, are very happy to know their relationship has become public, with Mr. Tanaka pointing out that a two year age difference isn't a very substantial one. Ella then looks outside and sees that every civilian wants to see Tails after he deactivated Eggman's missile. Tails becomes nervous and says he needs to find the X Tornado. Cream asks if she can come, too, but, Tails points out that she'd be hounded, too. Chuck looks outside to see a sleeping Dulcy and gets an idea. He tells Ella to get the decoy baby carriage. Shortly after, a shadow passes over the bystanders, much to their confusion, and Ella walks out with the baby carriage, causing them to move back to give her space. After escaping thanks to hiding in Dulcy's pouch, Tails, Cream, and Cheese come out with relief and Cream gives Dulcy a chocolate donut in gratitude (and because she was hungry). The trio all flew away.

Meanwhile Gamma is remembering various moments with his other E-Series brothers, Amy, and Hope. Gamma then decided to delete Eggman's control over him and set himself free with a new mission: to find his E-100-Series brothers and rescue their Mobinis.

Meanwhile, Sonic and Sally were chasing Tikal's soul into a petrified temple with a tree on top. When Tikal's soul went through a little waterfall in the temple Sonic and Sally went in while sad Chao were staring at them. After Sonic saw a picture of Perfect Chaos, Tikal's soul took the hedgehog and squirrelmunk into a Chaos Vision to Angel Island in flames. Sonic and Sally saw Tikal lying down with a Chao on her hand weeping after her father took the Chaos Emeralds, Tikal runs to the Master Emerald to stop them and Sonic and Sally Chaos Vision of the past vanished in a flash. Sonic and Sally were in front of the temple confused and knew that it was not a dream, but, something much more. Then, Sonic and Sally saw Eggman and Snively flying in Eggmobiles.

Sonic and Sally pursued the mad scientists and smashed into their base with a Double Spin Dash, triggering an alarm. Eggman and Snively raged after seeing the blue hedgehog and squirrelmunk, the latter telling the former that he'll prepare the Egg Viper. Eggman shoots lasers beams which all miss the speedy hedgehog and squirrelmunk, but, they managed to trap Sonic and Sally in place at a high speed conveyor belt inside a tunnel. Eggman releases big ball at the duo, but, Sally uses her Grapple Whip to grip the door handle. Sonic grabs her and Sally retracts the whip, allowing them to Spin Dash through the door. Sonic, complimenting Sally's idea, is rushing with her until Bokkun failed to surprise them. He gave the couple a message telling him to go to the lower chamber. Eggman, very furious at Sonic, Sally, and the rest of their friends for trampling his schemes for years and after getting struck by lightning, much to Sally's confusion as they were inside, unleashed his dreaded new machine, the Egg Viper. Sonic and Sally managed to dodge the lasers and Eggman pushes the self destruct button. Sally and Sonic make a "tactical retreat," and Eggman admits he pretty much walked into that trap before ejecting himself with his Eggmobile.

Meanwhile, Gamma is hovering around as he managed to pick up a location of Delta at Windy Valley while Amy, Manic, and Lily are sad that Lily's family on the Egg Carrier. Big, who had returned to Station Square for some reason, finds the hedgehog duo and Amy explains the situation. Big told them where the Egg Carrier was and Amy realizes that as a Speed-Type herself, Big being a Power-Type, and Manic being a Fly-Type, they could form a team. Manic, however, points out he's got a team already and Amy comments it could just be a "testing the waters" scenario. Big isn't interested due to the potential involvement of the Chaos Emeralds, but, Amy points out that he's the strongest Mobian alive and it would be a shame if he didn't use that potential. Big agrees, but, if the Chaos Emeralds are involved at all, he wants out of the team. Amy, Manic, and Lily hop into a rowboat while Big pushes from behind and he points out that he likes getting wet as his favorite pastime is fishing.

Double meanwhile, Gamma finds Delta tied to a mountain in Windy Valley. He asks if he's trying to find another mutant frog, but, he had actually come to rescue Delta. Bringing him gently down, Delta feels sad that his potential is being wasted and Gamma points out there are more opportunities than just rusting away. Gamma plugs his jack cables into Delta, much to his shock, and Gamma deletes Eggman from his programming. A little Mobini rabbit, a Pocky, hops out and races off, feeling ever grateful. Satisfied with his work, Gamma flies off to Red Mountain to find Epsilon. Epsilon has carved an Eggman statue into a rock. Gamma is shocked due to the fact that Eggman banished Epsilon, but, he wishes to "honor Eggman's legacy." The two start fighting and Epsilon deems Gamma a traitor. Epsilon is subsequently shut down and a grateful Mobini pig, a Picky rushes out of him. Then, Gamma remembered that Beta is still in the Egg Carrier and he then flew off to his next destination.

Meanwhile, Amy, Manic, Big, and Lily had made it to the Egg Carrier, looking for Lily's siblings. Decoe, Bocoe, Grounder, Scratch, and Alpha/ZERO all emerge from the rubble and the henchbots realize they must have been recalled back to the Egg Carrier, much to their annoyance. An angered Amy states they don't have time for them and Big punches all five robots back like they are toys, destroying Alpha in the process. Amy dubs the makeshift team "Team Rose," much to Big's annoyance, but, Manic tells them they have more important things to worry about and they and Lily rush into another room, shutting the door just as the henchbots got back on their feet. Manic sees a row of computers and takes a look at one. While that's happening, Gamma finds Zeta turned into a generator and Gamma explains he's come to liberate him. Back in the computer room, Manic realizes that Beta and Gamma have Lily's siblings trapped in them and Beta had been rebuilt. Amy thought that reprogramming Gamma would have set his Flicky free, but, Manic explains that it's like reprogramming a TV: just because it's reprogrammed doesn't mean it's power source changed. Back with Gamma, he managed to free a Mobini mouse, a Micky, inside Zeta, who lets out a grateful squeak in reply. The remodeled Beta enters, now called Beta Mk. II Kai.

Down with the makeshift Team Rose, they hear the crash and rush with Lily out to the next room, where Beta Mk. II Kai and Gamma are in a battle. Gamma manages to shoot the other robot's arms and reprograms Beta Mk. II Kai, releasing Brian from inside, but, not before finding out about 17 other E-100-Series robots. He manages to find them all by hacking into the nearest computer and figures it's his mission to liberate the rest of them and free the Mobinis. Amy points out they are all over the Earth and Manic points out that some of them could crush Gamma like a tin can. Gamma explains he promised Hope to see his mission through to the end and if he's destroyed, he accepts that outcome.

Meanwhile, Sonic and Sally are chilling under the tree when Tails, Cream, and Cheese show up. They explain that Amy and the others are okay and they see a storm coming. Cream then pulls out a purple badge with three feathers and says Hope said it was made for him. The badge clips itself to Tails and Hope explains it's his Rhythm Badge, which will allow him to perform his Tail Spin attack without getting sick. Hope also explains it turns the air around Tails into kinetic energy which will be channeled into his tails when attacking enemies and massage his stomach at the same time and that it won't fall off because tiny clips are holding onto Tails' belly fur.

Further out, Knuckles and Julie-Su are on their walk to Angel Island together when the storm starts to pick up. Julie-Su then sees another Upgrade Item on the ground and she learns from Hope that it's the Battery Pack, allowing Julie-Su to perform the Charge Shot.

While the heroes are very happy with what they were able to accomplish, Doctor Eggman is cursing at the Mobians to his defeat (even though he himself walked into his own defeat that time) and meets with Chaos, saying his time of completion is nigh, as the episode ends.

## Differences between this and the real episode:

* In the real episode, Chris was already on his way to see Knuckles to give him the Chaos Emerald. In this episode, Chris makes the suggestion to stop at Angel Island on the way, and he expresses concerns about Chaos Poisoning.
* In the real episode, Chuck comments he didn't know that Tails' real name was Miles and Mr. Tanaka saying that Tails was a "more colorful" name. Here, the two are commenting on what they think of Tails and Cream's relationship being made public and the two year age gap they have.
* Tails hides in Ella's apron in the real episode and Mr Tanaka is in the baby carriage. In this episode, Tails, Cream, and Cheese hide in Dulcy's pouch while Ella gets out the decoy baby carriage. In addition, Cream remains at home in the real episode while in this one, she and Cheese go with Tails.
* The Egg Viper fight is shortened because Eggman made the stupid decision of putting a self destruct switch on the console and Sonic and Sally make a retreat.
* Sonic is able to Spin Dash fast enough to knock himself into the lower chamber in the real episode and comments how he was "too fast for Eggman." In this episode, Sally gets the idea to use her Grapple Whip as a lever to get her and Sonic to Spin Dash through the door and Sonic is complimenting her idea.
* Bokkun is able to scare Sonic in the real episode. Here, Sonic is just as annoyed as Sally is.
* The scenes with Gamma rescuing his brothers are extended and we get a bit of an idea of their personalities.
* Big joins Amy and Manic to the Egg Carrier, while in the real episode, after telling Amy where the Egg Carrier was, isn't seen again for the rest of the episode. They also form a makeshift Team Rose. Froggy is also absent from this scene.
* Big knocks the robots back, not Amy, and Manic is the one to find out what happened to Gamma, Beta, Brian and Daisy.
* Gamma is kept intact in this episode and goes out to liberate the rest of the E-100-Series. In the real episode, Gamma is still destroyed like in the game and the Flicky is rescued from him then.
* Knuckles and Julie-Su head to Angel Island and find the Battery Pack upgrade first, then Eggman meets up with Chaos, while in the real episode, it shows Eggman meeting up with Chaos first and *then* Knuckles heading back to Angel Island.
