Plot
Knuckles is pouting about failing his duty of guarding the Master Emerald and that he only has one piece. He thinks he failed his duty, but then sees another vision of the past where the shrine is covered with flames and a worried Tikal looking on. He then realizes that feeling sorry for himself won't help, and he continues his search. Meanwhile Sonic and Tails take off in the X Tornado to go after the Egg Carrier to save Amy. Sonic tells Tails that he shouldn't try to take Eggman on while still recovering, and that he should do it alone. Tails reminds Sonic that the two of them together are a team and it will be easier if they both look together. Meanwhile, Chris and Big are still looking for Froggy, when Chris spots the X Tornado flying overhead and wonders if Tails is okay. Inside the Egg Carrier, Amy is in a dungeon with Lily and calls to Eggman to let her out, but it doesn't do any good. She was upset that Eggman had to spoil a nice gourmet meal she was going to make for Sonic. She then remembers a time chasing after him when she's suddenly attacked by an E-12 Behemoth, but Sonic destroyed it and saved her. She then said to Lily that Sonic would come to save them. Elsewhere on the carrier, Eggman gives orders to Beta, Gamma, Delta, and Epsilon to find a frog with a tail. They all leave to find it. Meanwhile, Knuckles finds more pieces of the Master Emerald and is sent back into the past again to Tikal, a group of Chao and the Master Emerald shrine. The Chao lead her to the top of the shrine and show her the seven Chaos Emeralds and the Master Emerald, and she realizes that the Master Emerald is the controller that unifies the Chaos. Knuckles is then sent back to the present time in front of the shrine. He then puts together the Master Emerald pieces he gathered and the Emerald is almost complete. There's only one piece left. The Master Emerald then shows Knuckles the Egg Carrier, as if it's some kind of sign.

Meanwhile, Beta, Gamma, Delta, and Epsilon are still searching for Froggy, and they are near where Chris and Big are. Beta, Delta, and Epsilon all find frogs with no tails, but Gamma steals Froggy after Chris and Big find him. Chris and Big go after Gamma on to the Egg Carrier. When Eggman sees the frogs with no tails he gets enraged at his robots, but then he sees Froggy in Gamma's hand and is delighted that Gamma succeeded. He then tells Decoe and Bocoe to eliminate Beta, Delta, and Epsilon. Eggman then tells Gamma to get Lily from Amy. He walks into the wrong room and sees Beta being modified. This somehow upsets him. When he reaches Amy's cell, she refuses to give up Lily and asks him why he wants Lily. Gamma simply responds that he must obey the Doctor's orders. When Lily flies in front of his eyes, his systems overload. He then releases Amy and Lily.

Elsewhere, Sonic and Tails find Knuckles and he joins them onboard. A battle then ensues between the Egg Carrier and the X Tornado. Tails then springs a surprise on Eggman and transforms the X Tornado into Battle Armor mode. Eggman then transforms his Egg Carrier into Battle Mode as well. Tails manages to destroy any missles being fired and brings the X Tornado close enough to land. Sonic tells Tails to bring it in for a smooth landing, but Tails said that they'll have to settle for nice and bumpy as he forgot to put wheels in Battle Mode. Sonic and Knuckles both exclaim, "WHAT?!?!" and the X Tornado crash lands on the Egg Carrier.
