Synopsis
In the Land of Ooo, a portal opens up near Pig King's Castle, prompting Gunther and Tyler to investigate. As they waddle around the portal, Pink Panther, Lupina, Wally, Mario, and Luigi fall out of it onto the ground. As they groggily get up, Luigi asks where they are and Pink Panther replies that they're home. Mario calls the group to attention and says the Dark Order is close, but as they look around, Wally says that it's just them. Mario says that they can't say for sure until they have a look around. The group then splits up and searches the immediate area for the Dark Order.

On the abandoned moon, Captain Cowboy and Dr. Robotnik sit up from behind a rock and realize everyone has disappeared. As they look around the moon, a portal opens up and they both run towards it. As they look up, Zack, Agent Yellow, Bart, and Pig King fall from the portal. As they get up, Agent Yellow and Bart immediately start kissing the ground and sniffing the air. As Zack gets up, he is immediately greeted by Captain Cowboy who says it's nice to meet him and asks where his money is. Zack tells him to shut up for a second. Pig King then says that being in the Negative Zone was the worst experience of his life. As he says this, Zack, Agent Yellow, and Bart all stare at him angrily, while Pig King asks what they're staring at. Pig King says that they should get going and tries to open the door to The Rental, but realizes it's locked. Zack says that Pig King isn't going anywhere. Pig King asks why and Zack responds that he's not one of them and never was. Agent Yellow then zaps Pig King with his laser eyes, knocking Pig King back. As Pig King gets up, Captain Cowboy opens the door as Zack, Agent Yellow, Bart, and Dr. Robotnik board The Rental. As they get in, Captain Cowboy warns them that it's a rental. Pig King asks what about him and Captain Cowboy yells that he's on his own. Pig King asks what happened to Master Robot and Captain Cowboy again responds that he disappeared with the rest of TFAWPS and then says bye and promises it isn't personal, and the reformed Dark Order departs the moon, leaving Pig King behind.

On Planet Simpson, the leaders of the planet are having a war meeting, led by Princess Peach and Allister McCallister. As they talk strategy, a portal opens up in the war room and Princess Peach tells her generals to depart and as they leave, save for McCallister, and Sonic, Paco, Mofo, Buster, and the Rainbow Twins all fall out of the portal. Princess Peach and McCallister surround them and ask what just happened. Sonic gets up and tells them it's a long story and says they didn't mean to interrupt their meeting. McCallister says that they did interrupt their meeting and it was important because they need to come up with a strategy to defeat the Popstars. Sonic says they can get right back to it, since they need to go find the rest of their teammates. McCallister says they can't go anywhere, since he knows they haven't chosen a side in the war and he can't be sure they aren't sent by the Popstars. Sonic says that he hates the Popstars, but that doesn't mean he's on the Simpsons side. McCallister then orders that TFAWPS be detained. Mofo says that they can't detain them and the group starts arguing amongst themselves. Princess Peach then breaks up the argument and says that there are more important things at stake than this and says that they won't arrest TFAWPS, but she'll allow them to make one phone call, but they won't be allowed to leave the Simpson Command Center. Sonic agrees and asks to be directed to a phone.

Elsewhere, Ted wakes up in a strange room. He asks where he is and he is met by a man in the silver suit, who steps out of the shadows and asks Ted if he remembers him. Ted says that of course he remembers him and says that they're allies and asks why he's being held captive and says he needs to find his friend. Hershey says that he agrees they're allies, but he just appeared here out of nowhere and says that it's his job to monitor strange goings on in the universe and says that him appearing here is certainly strange. Ted says that he can explain everything, and Hershey tells Ted to follow him. As they walk through The Sanctum, Ted comments that the place is strange and beautiful. Hershey thanks Ted and says The Sanctum is one of the most ancient domains in the entire universe and was entrusted to the Masters of Magic to protect and serve for all eternity. In the main room, Hershey greets Reeces, who greets the both of them. Reeces tells Ted to explain himself.

On Planet Popstar, the last portal opens, dropping Cell, Genesect, Android 16, and Android 17. As they get up, they are immediately found by Popstar soldiers and taken to the conference hall. As they enter the conference hall, Cell demands to know why he's being detained. King Kai explains that he is an unknown party trespassing on his planet during a time of war. Cell says that he has no idea how he got here and demands that he be let go. King Kai says that that won't fly here and demands they be taken to be executed. Genesect then prepares for a fight and King Kai orders a bunch of cannons to be dropped from the ceiling and aimed at them. Genesect then stands down and Cell asks King Kai that they are indeed in a time of war and points out how they lost the last major battle. King Kai reluctantly says that's true and Cell then offers his aid in exchange to be let go. King Kai asks what he'd be willing to do and Cell points out that he has the power to destroy Planet Simpson before the day is out. King Kai says that if Cell is able to accomplish this, he will set them free, but to be sure he can trust them, he's sending his best fighter to meet them there.

On the Land of Ooo, Pink Panther and Sonic talk on the phone. Sonic explains his situation and Pink Panther explains where he is and that he and everyone else is safe, however there is no sign of the Dark Order. Sonic tells him that there is on sign of them on Planet Simpson and also no sign of Cell and Genesect. Pink Panther says that Mario is getting some S.E.C.R.E.T. agents to find Sonic and the others and bring them home, but Sonic explains that they can't leave Planet Simpson and that Pink Panther needs to come to them and clear things up with the Simpsons. Pink Panther agrees and tells Mario the change of plans and hangs up the phone with Sonic. As Sonic hangs up the phone, he tells his teammates the plan and they decide to go find somewhere to eat.

While out on patrol, Meta Knight gets a call from King Kai. He informs Meta Knight that he has a new assignment and needs to travel to Planet Simpson to keep an eye on a group of despots who arrived on Planet Popstar. Meta Knight asks if it was Sonic and his group, but King Kai says this is a different group and he got the sense they were very powerful, so he sent them away and now needs Meta Knight to make sure they honor their word to destroy Planet Simpson. Meta Knight agrees, hangs up, and begins to travel to Planet Simpson.

In the Sanctum, Ted finishes up his story. Reeces realizes the potential threat Cell and Genesect hold and agrees to help them in any way they can. Ted says thank you, but first he needs to find his teammates. Suddenly, a Master of Magic enters the chamber and says they've intercepted communications from the Halberd and learned that King Kai is sending Meta Knight to meet with Cell and Genesect. Reeces thanks the member and tells Ted and Hershey that this cannot be allowed to happen. Ted volunteers to travel to intercept the Halberd and stop Meta Knight from reaching Cell. Ted says he needs to contact his allies, but Reeces tells Ted not to worry and that their allies are safe on Planet Simpson and Ted is confident they can keep things together there while Ted goes to find Meta Knight. Thanking Reeces and Hershey for their help, Ted departs the Sanctum, searching for Meta Knight.

On Planet Simpson, Buster and Paco sit and try to choke down Simpson food, much to their dismay. Sonic tells them that this food is really unpleasant and has no idea how the Simpsons eat this stuff. G. Biv asks when Pink Panther is going to arrive and he says that he's traveling with S.E.C.R.E.T. to pick up the Starcaster and then they'll meet them here. Roy says that he hopes it doesn't take them too long, since he's tired of eating Simpson food. Sonic agrees and says they also need to find a safe place for the shard, since his back left pocket is not exactly the most secure place to keep it. Mofo says that it's a good thing Cell isn't here either because their helmets are on the ship and if he shows up, they won't be able to stand up to his mind control. Meanwhile, Cell and Genesect observe Planet Simpson from afar. Genesect asks Cell if they're really going to destroy this planet for Planet Popstar and Cell says they're destroying it because Sonic is here with the shard and they need to get it back from him once and for all. Genesect asks what the plan is and Cell says he believes he has enough power with two shards in order to give himself more power. He says that while he gets TFAWPS' attention by attacking the city, Genesect will keep the Simpsons busy while the Androids sneak around and steal the shard from Sonic. Genesect asks what happens when the Popstar guy shows up, and Cell tells Genesect that's when they'll make their escape.

On the Halberd, Meta Knight looks over Popstar files on Genesect and learns about his past. Meta Knight comments that, although Genesect is an egotistical maniac, he would be a useful ally in the war, but he's more interested in the new guy Genesect has been hanging around with. Meta Knight can tell that he is a being of immense cosmic power and wishes to know where he got it from. Having snuck onto the ship, Ted comments to Meta Knight that he wishes to know the same thing, but most likely for different reasons. Meta Knight, impressed that Ted was able to sneak onto the ship undetected, compliments him and says he's a smart and capable fighter. Ted tells Meta Knight that he's heard the same thing about him, but also comments on his brutality and mercilessness. Meta Knight tells Ted that if Ted's going to attack him, he should do it now, so he can get killing him over with since he's needed on a mission. Ted tries to get Meta Knight to fight him elsewhere, but Meta Knight refuses telling him that someone with Ted's abilities wouldn't need to fight him anywhere but where he is now. Meta Knight then puts his ship on autopilot, headed towards Planet Simpson, and approaches Ted ready for a fight.

Back on Planet Simpson, TFAWPS finish up their lunch and pay the check, but as they do, Cell stands in the middle of the road. Seeing their enemy, Sonic calls TFAWPS into action and they go to face Cell. Sonic asks Cell what he's doing here and Cell says he believes he's finally figured out his purpose and is here to test it out. Sonic tells Cell to back up a second and explain to him what he plans to do. Cell then tells Sonic that the thing is, he doesn't owe Sonic an explanation, and he's not the end all, be all of the universe and needs to understand that there's some things that Sonic can't control, such as what Cell is about to do. Suddenly, Cell takes out both his shard and Genesect's and begins drawing power from both of them. Sonic then tells his team to stand back and take cover. As they dive out of the way, Cell's body begins to grow in size and change shape, somewhat resembling the Cosmic Entity, much to the shock of Roy and G. Biv. Meanwhile, Princess Peach and Allister McCallister watch from the Command Center in horror. Princess Peach orders McCallister to move in to defend their homeland, but they are suddenly met by Genesect who blows open a hole in the top of the Command Center. Noticing this, Sonic sends Paco, Mofo, and Buster to go see if the Princess is okay, while he and the Rainbow Twins take on Cell. Paco says that the last time they fought the Entity, they got their butts kicked, but Sonic tells him to go. As Sonic and the Rainbow Twins face off with Cell, Paco tells Mofo and Buster that he has a bad feeling about this. McCallister attempts to fight Genesect, but is easily overpowered. Paco, Mofo, and Buster immediately tackle Genesect and the four begin a battle, with Princess Peach yelling that she'll call for back up. As the fights against Cell and Genesect heat up, Android 16 and Android 17 get ready to begin their part of the plan. Android 16 goes left, while 17 goes right. The Rainbow Twins battle Cell head on, while Sonic takes a more tactical approach. The Androids then both tackle Sonic and hold him back while 16 demands he give up the shard.

On the Halberd, Ted finds himself on equal grounds with Meta Knight. Ted fires an energy blast at Meta Knight, but he deflects it by swinging his sword around, like a helicopter, much to Ted's shock. Knowing he needs a new tactic, Ted retreats further into the ship, with Meta Knight smiling and giving chase. As Ted searches the Halberd for something that can aid him in the fight, he begins thinking that maybe Ted doesn't have to win, Meta Knight just has to lose. Just then, he notices an elevator and jumps in, closing it just as Meta Knight reaches it. Ted heads for the engine room, while Meta Knight gives chase on the stairs. As the elevator reaches the basement, Ted steps out and is immediately punched in the face by Meta Knight, who was waiting for him. As the two begin another fight, Ted struggles to break free of Meta Knight's grasp. Ted manages to sneak around him and use an energy blast to destroy one of the engines, preventing the ship from taking off. Meta Knight comments on Ted's cleverness, but says he still hasn't beaten him. Ted says that while that is true, he isn't trying to win. Ted then blasts a hole in the side of the ship and escapes, as Meta Knight calls him a dishonorable coward.

Meanwhile, Android 17 manages to get the shard from Sonic, but Sonic quickly attacks him and takes the shard back and runs away, however he is much faster than the Androids and manages to escape. As he's running, Sonic calls the Rainbow Twins and says the Androids are after the shard and he had to make an escape. Cell continues to attack Simpson buildings, but Roy and G. Biv use cosmic shields to deflect the damage back to Cell. Meanwhile, Mofo and Buster manage to take down Genesect, however briefly. Android 16 radios Genesect and tells him that Sonic has gotten away with the shard. Genesect then attacks Mofo and Buster knocking them down and starts giving chase to Sonic, with Mofo and Buster in hot pursuit. Cell manages to knock Roy and G. Biv down and then turns his attention to the Command Center. As Cell begins to destroy the Command Center, Paco jumps in front of him and knocks him out of the sky, causing a massive cosmic explosion, turning Cell back into his normal self. Cell smiles as Paco approaches him, now under Cell's control. Cell then calls Genesect and the Androids and tells them to retreat, saying their work is done. Genesect asks about the shard and Cell says he's got it. As they leave, Sonic reunites with the rest of his teammates and tells them the shard is safe, while Paco stares at it. Princess Peach meets with them and thanks them for saving her planet and her people and says that they are now free to go. McCallister comments that he could have handled it himself. Sonic then calls Pink Panther and tells him to meet up at the Starcaster. Ted then calls Sonic and asks if everything is okay and Sonic says everything is great and tells Ted to meet him at the Starcaster, and all of TFAWPS head out.

On Fin-Land, The Rental lands and everyone gets out and heads into Zack's chamber. Zack then pays Captain Cowboy a hefty sum and Captain Cowboy says he's excited to earn more money with the Dark Order. Agent Yellow then asks why they aren't at the Lair, and Zack says that he's disbanding the Dark Order, much to the shock of everyone else. Bart asks why and Zack says that there are other, more important things than going after the shards right now and tells the rest of his group that they are now free to do whatever they want. Captain Cowboy angrily says that after all this effort, nothing comes of it. Zack then offers Agent Yellow and Bart a place to stay, but Agent Yellow refuses and asks Captain Cowboy for a ride. As Agent Yellow, Bart, and Captain Cowboy enter The Rental, Dr. Robotnik refuses to tag along, saying that he was planning on leaving the Dark Order anyway, saying he's going to pursue another cause. As Zack enters his chambers, Agent Yellow directs Captain Cowboy to the Land of Ooo, saying the Dark Order isn't going anywhere and that they'll get Zack back one way or another. Bart asks what he has in mind, and Agent Yellow says they're off to find the shards themselves.
