Plot
The episode begins at Chris' house where he and Chuck are given the information that they were sent to the human world by Chaos Control with use from the Chaos Emeralds. Chuck worries that they have all disappeared due to the effects of Chaos Control but Sonic counters saying that he's positive they haven't. They all light up at the proposed hope of being able to get back home.

The scene briefly touches upon a construction site where a hidden Chaos Emerald happens to be before turning to a new scene where the President, his advisor, and Jerome Wise are discussing the whereabouts of the new visitors from another world. They've been able to pin-point Sonic and his friends location (except for Knuckles, who went off by himself) and determined that Dr. Eggman has surfaced on an island in the Southern Sea. The President originally tells the advisor to go out and stop them all immediately. However, he quickly states that it'd be in their best interest to not act out of haste and wait until they have more information on these people. The President tells him to hurry, bunching them all in as "Dr. Eggman's Terroist Group".

The advisor tells him that Dr. Eggman is already being monitored by the Southern Sea police patrol. At Eggman's base, a small wooden boat lands on the island with one undercover agent signalling a lighthouse that he's successfully reached the area. Jerome asks about the animals and the advisor replies by stating that he has sent Mr. Stewart to watch over the boy whom the animals seem to be accompanied with.

The next day at Chris' school, Mr. Stewart walks in on Chris' class with the Principal. The students are given the news that their new teacher will be him and the class proceeds. After the class Mr. Stewart stops in front of Chris and asks if he's the son of industrialist Nelson Thorndyke and film actress Linsey Flair, which Chris says he is. When asked about it, Mr. Stewart says he's a fan of Lindsey Thorndyke. He then asks what Chris' favorite animal is with which he replies "Hedgehogs, I guess".

Back at the Constuction site, one of the machines has hit the chaos emerald head on and starts to go out of control. It rides around the area and starts to destroy the equipment and vehicles. Eventually it stops just as suddenly as it began.

The next day, Scarlet Garcia reports that a construction crew has found a mysterious gem that emits "electric pulses". The noise and disruption on all the TVs is reported to be because of that one Chaos Emerald's energy. They haven't removed it yet due to the hint of danger. Cream and Cheese, who happen to be watching the news, spot the drawing of the green Chaos Emerald that Scarlet is holding up. Cream and Cheese quickly run outside where Sonic is resting on a tree branch. They tell him that there is big trouble.

Meanwhile, Dr. Eggman is watching the same exact news report. He grins and tells Decoe to bring him his cards. He puts them into the slot machine and draws up E-11 Beacon. Him and Beacon set out with the government agent overseeing this. He reports to an unknown person that the terrorists have moved out.

Tails and Amy get inside the Tornado II and are ready for take off in search of the emerald. Sonic had all ready headed out by himself and reached the top of a building. Once there he says that he'll wait for Tails and Amy.

Dr. Eggman is flying over the ocean in his Eggmobile with Beacon when he gets word from his radar that missiles are headed in his direction. He turns and sees them heading his way. Obviously, this was the governement spy's doing. Eggman is unfazed and is actually quite excited. Beacon flies around the missiles and leads them into the sea. Eggman is heavily disappointed stating that he thought they'd allow him to enjoy himself a little more then that. With that, they set off into the city.

Chris, while sitting in class that day, looks out the window and sees the Tornado II fly by. He gasps and realizes that trouble is ahead and proceeds to leave the class. Stewart is more then suspicious and decides to follow him, telling the class to study on their own.

Chris skates across the streets and spots Eggman flying overhead. Stewart is tailing Chris in his car. Tails and Amy finally reach Sonic's location, which prompts Sonic to get up and head toward the area where the emerald was spotted. At that exact area, the news crew is talking amngst themselves before they spot Eggman and E-11 headed their way. The citizens start to run away in a panic. Sonic stops on one of the rooftops and sees the large crowd. He then turns and sees Eggman flying across the area. It prompts him to smirk and head after the doctor.

It doesn't take long at all for Eggman to realize he's being chased by Sonic. Eggman sends Beckon after Sonic while he tends to the chaos emerald. The robot rams into Sonic and starts playing with him in the air. The hedgehog is obviously helpless. Tails and Amy fly by and see the situation at hand. Amy tosses him the ring saying that he should be able to win with it. Sonic makes a grab for it but misses and then plummets to the ground below. Tails and Amy then head down after him.

Eggman lands and reaches the chaos emerald. He spots it in the dirt and goes to pick it up but is beaten to it when Chris picks it up right before him. The boy, having not seen Eggman there, congratulates himself. However, Eggman quickly snatches it back and gets into his Eggmobile to fly off with it. Chris doesn't want to let go of it though and starts to fight with Eggman for it back. Eggman pushes him away and takes off with Chris grabbing the extension of the Eggmobile. It carries him off into the sky with Eggman.

Sonic ends up getting rammed into by Beacon once again and it continues playing with him. Tails flies toward Sonic's location and Amy tosses him the recovered ring. Sonic grabs it and spins right through the robot and destroys it. Sonic then spots Eggman flying across the area with Chris hanging on to his Eggmobile. He immediately&#160;chases after them.

Chris manages to climb onto the Eggmobile and tries grabbing for the chaos emerald. After another fight, Chris is almost pushed off and grabs at Eggman's mustashe. Eggman quickly throws him off afterward and fixs it only to shortly realize that his chaos emerald is gone. Chris plummets to the street below with the emerald in hand. Mr. Stewart sees this and drives toward the location. He opens his car's hood and the seats inflate, attempting to save him himself. However, Sonic arrives at that point and grabs Chris right before he hits the street. Mr. Stewart sighs and decides to drive back off to school.

Back at Chris' house, the group looks over their prize, the Green Chaos Emerald. Chris apologizes to Sonic for causing him trouble but Sonic says that it's no trouble at all due to the fact that he was the one who recovered the emerald for them. Chris is delighted by Sonic's approval and they all smile their way into the credits.

Trivia
