Characters

Plot

On Bygone Island, Sonic and Knuckles are playing a game of Coconut toss. Tails plays the role of commentator while Sticks and Amy watch, though Amy shows little interest. As Knuckles throws Sonic into a coconut tree, they beat their previous record by knocking four coconuts down. Suddenly though, Dr. Eggman arrives in the Egg Mobile and announces the arrival of his most destructive creation yet to Team Sonic. After several awkward moments, a giant robot cow named Cowbot arrives, but Team Sonic laughs at it. Though Eggman notes he has made worse robots, he leaves Cowbot to destroy Team Sonic as he has to go home to check on his laundry, but not before telling Team Sonic that Cowbot is filled with Mootonium which will vaporize everything within a twenty mile radius if Cowbot is destroyed.

As Cowbot starts firing cud missiles, Team Sonic come up with the plan to reach Cowbot's access panel so Tails can reprogramm it. While Sonic distracts Cowbot, the rest of the team tip it, allowing Tails to get to work. However, when Tails finishes, Cowbot's eyes turn red and it slowly flies away. Tails explains that since he reversed Cowbot's programming to go after Sonic, it is now going after Eggman. Sonic is amused, but Amy insists that it is not right to let Cowbot kill Eggman. Begrudgingly, Sonic leaves to warn Eggman and takes Tails with him for scientific situations.

Arriving at Dr. Eggman's lair, Sonic sneaks ahead of Eggman's defenses, only for Eggman to tell him at the door that he used his defenses to build Cowbot. While Sonic warns him of Cowbot, Eggman convinces him and Tails stay and protect him while he is defenseless. However, even if the defenses were brought back online, they learn that Cowbot's stage two directive has been activated, which would render Eggman's defenses useless. As such, the group's only option is to upgrade Eggman's defenses, with Sonic gathering the parts and Tails and Eggman assembling the equipment. Together, the unlikely allies put together a freeze ray and a force field to protect the lair.

As Cowbot appears in the horizon, Sonic, Tails and Eggman are ready and have a plan: when Cowbot gets in range, Eggman will lower the force field, allowing Sonic to immobilize with the freeze ray, thus enabling Tails to disable it. However, Cowbot is taken itself a long time to get to the lair, so Eggman invites Sonic and Tails inside while they wait. In the lair, they have some cookies and coco with garlic powder and watch a film, before playing another game of coconut toss where Sonic had to use a catapult to throw Eggman. As night falls and Cowbot still has not arrived, Sonic, Tails and Eggman spent their time roasting marshmallows and seemingly bond over their conversations, where Eggman would talk about Dave and ask Sonic of his deal with Amy.

The next morning, Cowbot has arrived and the allies begin their plan, only for it to fall apart due to their defense systems shorting out from the marshmallow gunk on their fingers getting stuck on them. However, this give Tails the idea of using the marshmallows to gunk up Cowbot's machinery. Going with this plan, Eggman catapults Sonic up to Cowbot where he empties a bucket of marshmallows into Cowbot and shortens it out. Upon celebrating their victory though, Eggman reveals that this was a part of his master plan: by using the threat of Cowbot, he tricked Sonic and Tails into upgrading his security system with their tech which he could now use against them. However, Sonic puts a stop to Eggman's plan by swiftly dumping marshmallows into his new defenses, causing them all to short-circuit. As Sonic and Tails take their leave, Orbot and Cubot come out of the lair and eat some of the marshmallows which instantly gunk up their circuits.
