Olivia and friends venture into outer space in search of a Chaos Emerald.
Episode Summary[]
Act I[]
Sonic and Knuckles are busy playing a video game together as Tails finishes up the last touches on the rocket ship. Sonic comes out victorious in the game, and Knuckles gets mad. He's mad that Sonic always wins in video games. Sonic begins boasting to Knuckles about how much better he is. Before things can get uglier, Tails stops them and lets them know that the rocket is ready. Sonic focuses up because it's time for them to go on an adventure. Knuckles thinks the dispute can wait. Elsewhere, Olivia and friends are having a pool party at Cody's. Olivia thanks Cody again for having everyone over. Cody is more than happy to host. Dani calls for Olivia to join her, Brooke, Audrey, and Rachael for a game of Sharks and Minos. That's when Olivia gets a phone call from Tails. Olivia says she will in a moment. Olivia sneaks off to the front yard to take the call. Olivia asks Tails what's up. Tails lets Olivia know that it's time to head into outer space. Olivia wonders if the rocket ship is done. Tails confirms that it is and needs all of them to head over to his workshop immediately. Olivia says that she'll gather everyone immediately. Olivia gets everyone's attention and tells them that Sonic and Tails are in need of their assistance. Brooke wonders what's going on. Sunshine thinks she knows. Olivia says that they need all of them to head over to Tails' workshop. Cody wonders if he can close up the pool first. Olivia thinks that should be fine. Everyone quick dries off and changes and heads for Tails' workshop. After everyone arrives, Tails tells everyone to hop aboard. Kaitlynn wonders why they didn't just use the ship that Professor Smarts built when they went to rescue Dani in space. Aubrey reminds her that Smarts' rocket got destroyed. Kaitlynn forgot about that. That's when Shadow comes and wonders if everyone here is a bunch of idiots. Sonic wonders what Shadow's deal is. Shadow lets them know about the dangers they're about to face going into space. He lets them know that Wanda Wicker has taken control of entire galaxies with the power of the Chaos Emerald. Olivia is not thrilled to hear that name again. Tails wonders if Shadow can come along and alert them of all the danger ahead. Shadow supposes he will but warns them all again of the risk they're taking. Sonic is happy Shadow is coming because maybe he can actually help them win at taking down the threat, unlike a certain red echidna. Knuckles gets mad at Sonic. Tails prepares for liftoff. After the countdown, the rocket has a successful launch. Sonic tells space to prepare for them because they're coming for that Chaos Emerald. After flying through space for a while, Olivia asks Tails where they're even headed. Tails says they're heading for the center of Wanda's galactic empire. Sunshine was not made aware that Wanda had a whole empire. Olivia thinks that after seeing what she could do with the Internet that this isn't a surprise at all. Sonic wants to show Knuckles something speaking of the Internet. Shadow asks Sonic if it can wait. Sonic really wants to though. Shadow makes him aware of the danger that's up ahead. Sonic peers out the window and sees a space dragon heading their way. Tails had no idea there were dragons in space. Megan wonders if there's any form of defenses on this thing. Tails says that he's one step ahead. Tails readies the defense systems. However, the dragon defeats it with ease. Jake thinks this is just great. Cody wonders what now. Tails isn't sure because that's all the defenses they had. Shadow knew this was a bad idea. Sonic knows that without any of the Emeralds in their hands that they're doomed as well.
Act II[]
Dani is freaking out because they have no way of defeating this space dragon. Shadow is trying to convince Tails to turn back now and head for home. Tails denies the decision, because they need to have the Chaos Emerald so Wanda doesn't. That's when Rachael spots something in the corner. She wonders how long this laser cannon has been here for. Olivia remembers that thing from when Dr. Eggman turned the town into ice. Tails completely forgot he brought that aboard. Dani wants to go shoot the dragon with it. Olivia hesitantly lets her. Dani is surprisingly a sharp shooter. Once the dragon flees, everyone just stares in shock at Dani. Brooke wonders where that came from. Dani admits that she just recently watched Saving Private Ryan. Sonic is impressed with how Dani performed though, unlike a certain echidna in video games. Knuckles tells Sonic to let it go. That's when Sonic has to show Knuckles his video he made. Knuckles doesn't want to see it. Sonic shows him anyway. It's a video of Sonic mocking Knuckles. Hannah wonders how he has cell service in space. Knuckles is so upset at Sonic at this point that he throws hands. Olivia tries to separate the two, but they won't budge. Sonic keeps trying to tell Knuckles that it was just a joke. Knuckles is in no joking mood. Tails wonders what's going on back there. That's when Sonic and Knuckles' fighting brings them up to the pilot's quarters. They bump Tails out the seat, thus causing the ship to go haywire. Knuckles blames Sonic for this and attempts to steer the ship back on course. Sonic says he can steer the ship better than he can. The two fight over the controls, but end up breaking the steering wheel. Sonic and Knuckles then scream. Tails tells everyone to hang on to something. The ship is now shooting straight down for a planet. To add to the damage, they're heading for a meteor shower. Brennan wonders what other trouble they could run in to. Brennan then notices his coupon for Bear Claw expired and his entire mood is ruined now. Naomi is upset at him for being the reason everything is worse now. Sonic asks Tails if he has any idea as to where they're crash landing. Tails pulls out his pad, but it can't make heads or tails of where they are. The ship crashes, and everyone steps out to the unknown planet. Audrey wonders where they are. Unfortunately for them, they come face to face with a familiar face. It's King Ogtoor and his alien army. Dani is not happy to see him again. Ogtoor says that now that they're on his turf, that he'll show them all a lesson. He summons an entire alien army to take them all away. The aliens throw everyone into a giant glass bubble. Dani is getting all kinds of deja vu right now. Olivia can't believe they landed on Ogtoor's origin planet of all the planets in the galaxy. Ryan wonders how they're supposed to escape this one. Zach wonders if they should try breaking the bubble again. All of a sudden, a beam of light shines down on all of them. Olivia thinks they're saved. The gang gets teleported. They end up on another planet. Sonic wonders if this place is any better. That's when they hear a voice saying that they were expecting them. Tails knows that this place isn't any better.
Act III[]
The gang finds themselves in Wanda's galactic empire. Olivia wonders how Wanda managed to possess the power of the Chaos Emerald. Wanda said she just found the Emerald floating around in space and decided she could plot to take over the universe from there. Dani doesn't think she's going to get away with this. That's when she pulls out a laser machine gun. Saben wonders where she got that thing. She says she got it after the whole Black Friday debacle. She gets it ready to fire, only for it to break down. Dani thinks that was a bust. Brooke seriously thinks Dani needs to stop watching war movies. Dani is upset because she wanted to watch Tropic Thunder next. Wanda has them all caged up now. Shadow thinks this is just great. Jake wonders how they're supposed to escape this cage. Wanda tells them that it's no use, because she is slowly taking over the entire universe one galaxy, one planet at a time. She says that her final target is Earth, and her takeover will be complete. Olivia tells her that she's not going to get away with this. Wanda uses her powers to have disaster strike Earth. Aubrey wonders what she's doing. Wanda pulls up a monitor with everything that's going on. She has a giant, fiery meteor heading straight for Earth. In about an hour, that bad boy is going to strike the planet, and everything will vanish in a snap. Olivia knows that this is serious now. Shadow then gets an idea, but needs Sonic and Knuckles. The two don't want to work together. Shadow tells them that if they don't he'll personally shave all their fur off. The two hesitantly join Shadow, who Chaos Controls them out of the cage. Cody wonders why he couldn't have done that for everyone. Sonic asks Shadow what they're doing. Shadow says they're going to track down the Chaos Emerald, so hopefully it reduces Wanda's powers greatly. The trio sneak around the empire, but can't find it anywhere. Knuckles wonders what the room next to them is. It's a highly secured door, and Shadow doesn't know if they can get past it. Knuckles thinks it's going to take all of their effort to break this door down. Sonic still doesn't want to work with Knuckles. Knuckles thinks that Sonic needs to learn a thing or two about teamwork. Knuckles reminds Sonic of all the times the two were good sports. Sonic realizes this and apologizes to Knuckles about his rash behavior back on Earth. He realizes that they need to work together in order to save the entire universe. Sonic and Knuckles give each other a handshake. Shadow wonders if the gross heartfelt moment is over yet. Sonic tells them all to put as much force onto the door as possible to break it down. Sonic Spin Dashes, Knuckles punches, and Shadow Chaos Spears. Luckily, it's enough power to break down the door. The three then approach the Chaos Emerald. Sonic reaches out to grab it, but that's when the empire begins shaking. Knuckles thinks this is bad. Shadow notices the empire disbanding. Sonic wonders what's going on. Back with everyone in the cage, they watch in horror as Wanda's empire disbands and spreads across the galaxy. As the empire spreads across the universe, Sonic is attempting to grab a hold of the Chaos Emerald. He successfully grabs it, but nearly falls. Luckily, Knuckles saves him from falling. Sonic thanks Knuckles for the hand. The three escape to go save their friends. Sonic then suggests using the Chaos Emerald to turn into Super form. Shadow supposes it's worth a shot. With the caged heroes, the ground is crumbling below them. Tails thinks they're doomed.
Act IV[]
Olivia is in a panic as to if they're going to survive or not. Hannah begins writing her will. All of a sudden, three figures fly in and save them all. Olivia is shocked to see Sonic, Knuckles, and Shadow. Brooke thinks this is great and all, but wonders if they have a transport home. That's when the Comet Observatory flies by. Rosalina and her Lumas save them all. Sonic thanks Rosalina. Rosalina is very aware of the danger that the galaxy, and Earth for that matter, is in. Audrey wonders how she knew they needed help. Rosalina has been watching over them the entire time. After all, she is a protector of the cosmos. Brooke thinks that makes sense. Naomi wonders how they're going to stop the meteor from hitting Earth. Sonic tells her to leave it to him, Knuckles, and Shadow. Back on Earth, everything seems to be going fine and dandy. Mikayla and Emma are conversing about watermelons. That's when they hear a scream. Emma wonders who that could be. They see Katie with a horrified look on her face. Mikayla wonders if Katie is okay. She shivers and points up to the sky. The three notice a giant meteor hurdling towards Earth at an alarming rate. Mikayla wonders what they're gonna do. Katie knows everyone went up into space, so there's no point in trying there. Emma thinks they have to tell someone. Emma stands on top of a taxi and warns everyone about the meteor. This attracts a crowd to see what the commotion is. Dakota thinks they're all toast. The Earth then begins shaking as the meteor gets closer. Everyone begins to go into a commotion. The meteor is suddenly only meters away from striking. Everyone screams and panics. Katie thinks they need to go shelter. Mikayla doesn't know where they could possibly shelter from this. Emma then thinks she sees something. It's Super Sonic, Hyper Knuckles, Super Shadow, and Super Olivia holding the meteor back. Katie is in shock. Emma keeps forgetting Olivia has that power too. The four of them send the meteor hurdling towards Wanda's empire. Wanda wonders how everyone managed to escape, let alone send the meteor right in her direction. Sonic shouts at Wanda that her and her galactic empire are through. The meteor strikes Wanda, and her and the empire vanish. Everyone cheers. Everyone on Earth cheers as well. Olivia thinks that was quite the wild ride. Sonic agrees. Rosalina is proud of each and every one of them for accomplishing their mission. She says they will all have the highest honor in the galaxy. Olivia is very appreciative of this. Sunshine then wonders how they're going to get back home. Rosalina tells her to leave that to her. She sets a course for Earth, and the Comet Observatory heads for Earth. Sonic suggests to Knuckles that they could play a game while they travel back home. Knuckles isn't sure that's a good idea.
