Plot
Following the events of the previous episodes, the crew of the Blue Typhoon worked on repairing and improving the Blue Typhoon. Deciding to go through the Intergalactic Cloister, the team encountered several problems, especially the vibration of space matter that was so hard that it knocked them unconscious. After waking up, they discovered the Typhoon had continued through the cloister on its own, but had become trapped in space roots. Everyone pitches in with various tools to cut the vines until Sonic finished the job for them thanks to Chris's new invention, the Power Shoes. No sooner however, a row of massive pillars appear, blocking the Blue Typhoon's path.

Aboard a Metarex ship, Dark Oak is gathered with the other Metarex commanders and plots to use this opportunity to destroy Sonic and his team once and for all, but the Metarex leaders begin fighting over who will attack the helpless heroes. In the end, Yellow Zelkova was chosen for this mission by Dark Oak. Back at the Blue Typhoon, the heroes ponder on how to get through the pillars. No sooner though, Zelkova appear and attack them. Sonic subsequently sent the others inside the ship while he and Knuckles faced this new threat. Immediately, Zelkova begins bombarding them with the pillars blocking their path while Sonic and Knuckles try to attack him. However, despite using the best of their skills, Yellow Zelkova proved too strong and tough for them to stop. As such, the heroes come up with a new plan. Tricking Zelkova to smash into the Blue Typhoon, Sonic and Knuckles made the Metarex knock the Blue Typhoon loose, thereby freeing it. Sonic then used the Sonic Power Cannon to defeat Zelkova, albeit not destroying him, while blowing away the pillars blocking the Blue Typhoon's path. Relishing in their victory, the hero continue forward.
