Plot[]

At his lair, Dr. Eggman has packed up for a Villain Retreat for a week, leaving Orbot and Cubot in charge. Deciding not to leave it easy on Sonic, he explains that he networked his Bee Bots to automatically attack members of Team Sonic on sight. Soon, the team find themselves under attack from many Bee Bots. They head over to Eggman's lair to find out what Eggman wants, only to learn Eggman is away and neither Orbot nor Cubot have the security level needed to deactivate the Badniks. The gang then decide to take care of it themselves. Working together, they manage to herd the majority of the Bee Bots into a cave and block them in with a force field, though Sticks wonders if one or two may still be loose.

Later, at Tails' Workshop, Tails does a test run of his new Matter Transporter, only for a spare Bee Bot to fly into his teleport chamber at the last second. At Meh Burger, the rest of team sees the result: Tails transformed into a cyborg with Bee Bot parts. At the workshop, they contemplate simply using the transporter to reverse the process, but the control test ends in a messy and discouraging failure. As Tails suddenly begins to hear voices telling him to "join the hive", Soar the Eagle reports on disaster on Tommy Thunder's newest movie set. The team heads out and Tails uses his cyborg parts to rescue the avalanche victims.

Returning to Hedgehog Village, Tails begins expressing delight at his new form. That night, he has a nightmare where the others ostracize him for his new form and the voices return, telling him, "Join us...join the hive..." The next day, he refuses to save Chumley and decides to find others who understand him better to hang out with: namely, the captured Bee Bots the network had linked him to. He frees them and declares himself their king. The team begins to fight back, but Sonic calls them off when he discovers the network link means Tails feels the pain of their destruction. Instead, Sonic finds Eggman at the Villain Retreat and convinces him to help to get his Bee Bots back.

Back at the workshop, Eggman succeeds at modifying the transporter and concocts a plan to lure Tails in. He has Sonic dress up as a sunflower and walk around town. It apparently works as Tails and the Bee Bots give chase back to the workshop. Though the team were reluctant to fight at first, Eggman convinces them that by destroying enough Bee Bots, the network link will weaken enough to capture him. It works and enough of the Badniks are smashed to render Tails unconscious. Sonic places him in the transporter and Eggman reverses the process, returning Tails to normal. Eggman leaves, laughing that the sunflower costume was just to humiliate Sonic, while the team discusses what they believe they have learned: not turn into a bee.
