Rise of Sage's Titans, Part 1 is the twenty-fifth episode of My Friend Macey.
Episode Summary[]
Somewhere in the galaxy, Rosalina and her Luma roam the cosmos in the Comet Observatory. Rosalina is busy pointing out constellations to her Luma. The Luma find all of these constellations amusing. All of a sudden, Rosalina spots a very mysterious moon. The moon approaches the Comet Observatory. Rosalina senses danger is present.
Meanwhile, back on earth, Macey and her family are out to eat at their favorite tavern. Macey and Jon both thank their parents for taking them here. Dad says it's no problem. Macey says she doesn't know what she'd do without her family. Mom thinks that's really sweet of Macey to say. As the family continues to eat, Chris suddenly bursts into the tavern and warns everyone about the strange moon. Macey wonders what moon he's talking about. Everyone goes outside to see the moon. Macey thinks that moon looks abnormal. Jon thinks maybe it's a blood moon. A bar patron wonders if it'll affect the fauna. As Macey looks at it more, she feels as if there's no threat here. It's just sitting there. Jon asks Chris if he's crazy. All of a sudden, Rosalina comes down.
Rosalina tells everyone that Chris isn't crazy. She tells them about how that moon destroyed the Comet Observatory. Jon wonders what a Comet Observatory is. Rosalina explains to Jon about how the Comet Observatory is her home and how it's used to peruse the galaxy. Jon thinks that's cool and all but doesn't buy the story of the moon. Macey says if the moon is really a threat, how do they stop it. Rosalina says it's going to take a lot of power and a lot more than just fighting it off. Macey is concerned about this. She meets up with her heroic colleagues to figure out a solution.
Tails is wondering how it was possible that The End returned. He says his machines can't make heads or tails of it. Sonic isn't too sure, but says they can defeat it a second time. Blaze wonders how they can muster up that much power in such little time. Tails says they'll find a way. Macey tells them about how Rosalina warned them about that moon. Sonic is surprised that Rosalina is around and says he hasn't seen her since the Tokyo Olympics. Knuckles thinks that in the meantime, they need to do everything they can to make sure The End doesn't reach earth's surface. Silver says that's a great idea. Kaitlin wonders if something, or someone, was able to resurrect this "The End". Tails says he'll try to look more into it.
Elsewhere, Infinite has teamed up with Dr. Eggman again. Eggman is happy that Infinite was able to bring back The End, along with Sage, using the power of the Phantom Ruby. Orbot says he didn't even know that was possible. Cubot thinks they should never underestimate the power of the Phantom Ruby. Infinite tells Eggman that the city will perish for good once those pesky Titans come out to play. Eggman tells Sage to go out into the city and show Sonic, Macey, and those other pathetic heroes who's boss. Sage appears and tells her father she won't let him down. Orbot thinks it's not a minute too soon either. He says that the heroes appear to be meeting in town now. Eggman thinks this is too perfect.
The heroes have all met up at the park. Sonic is telling everyone about how The End is a massive threat and how they really need to pull some strings together if they wanna take this thing out. Tails points out that it isn't going to be as simple as collecting the Chaos Emeralds this time around. He mentions that Kaitlin's observation about The End simply being revived was correct. Kaitlin can't believe she was right. Aubrey wonders who would even be capable of bringing back such a powerful being. That's when Sage appears. Sonic, Tails, Knuckles, and Amy are shocked to see Sage. Amy thought Sage sacrificed herself to defeat The End. Sage says her angelic form was brought back thanks to a special friend. Hannah wonders what she means by special friend. That's when Infinite appears.
Macey can't believe Infinite is back. Georgia is especially unhappy. She tells Infinite he can go jump into the Bottomless Pit for what he did to her. Infinite says that if he can't destroy a city, then Sage will be able to. Sage is more than happy to carry out her father's work. Kaylee says there's way too many questions right now and wonders who Sage's father is. Infinite tells her to take a wild guess. Kaylee guesses Zavok. Infinite facepalms. He says it's Dr. Eggman. Everyone who didn't know that information gasps. Sage says that's correct. She then approaches Macey and tells Macey she's quite impressed with everything she's done. Macey wonders what she's talking about because this is the first time she's even met her. Sage says that her accomplishments are no matter to be brushed aside. She mentions her successful escape of Null Space, saving the town from Alyssa Bot, and ridding an army of mini demons. Macey is starting to get freaked out by how many people know her accomplishments now.
Rosalina tells everyone to step aside. Sage wonders what Rosalina could possibly want. Rosalina says she brought a powerful space fleet to stop Sage. All of a sudden, a whole fleet of Lumas come in, as well as Lubba on Starship Mario. Dani wonders what's happening. Sunshine says it's probably best not to ask questions. This brings about an epic battle between the Lumas and Sage. Laila thinks this is the cutest battle she's ever seen, and also thinks that's one of the strangest sentences she's ever uttered. However, Sage is too powerful against the Lumas. Lubba retreats in Starship Mario. Rosalina thinks that was a bust. Alyssa asks if anyone else has any bright ideas. Kaitlin suddenly gets an idea. She and Shannon both come back in their superhero forms. Macey didn't know they could do that. Kaitlin tells Savannah to cue her superhero fighting song.
Super Kaitlin and Super Hero Shannon put up quite the fight against Sage. However, Sage comes out victorious again. Sage says it's useless to even try and stop her. Sonic says he's stopped her once, and he'll do it again. Sage tells them they're not ready for what's to come next. Brea wonders what's next. Sage begins summoning Titans of all shapes and sizes. Tails can't believe it. Sonic says there's Titans he's never even seen before. The Titans quickly unleash their wrath and destroy the city. Macey can't believe how fast they destroyed the town. Olivia thinks this is bad because they've got hundreds of threats to deal with now. Macey chokes up looking at all the devastation. She then spots Knight taking her family. Macey cries out in agony. Sonic looks over in concern. He tells Macey they'll rescue her family and save the town.
Sage tells them there's no point and that their fate has already been decided. The Titans have taken over, The End is nearing earth's surface, and soon the town and all of its citizens will cease to exist. Macey begins crying. Alyssa asks Macey what's wrong. Macey says they're all doomed. Her family is doomed, her friends are doomed, and the whole town is doomed. She thinks they lost. Alyssa tells Macey that it's not like that and says they have the chance to turn things around. Macey is in such a state of sorrow that she runs off, crying. Everyone looks at each other concerned. Laila thinks this is the worst time for Macey to run off like that. All of a sudden, Giganto approaches the heroes. They all scream in terror.
