Synopsis
In The Sanctum, Hershey looks up into the sky and notices that the cosmos is telling him something is wrong. Hershey travels into the main room and finds Reeces studying. Before Hershey can say anything, Reeces already tells him that he's aware of what's coming and they need to be ready for when it comes. Hershey asks what he would like him to do, and Reeces tells him that they're going to have to make a visit to the Land of Ooo to find some old friends. Reeces then tells one of the Masters of Magic to protect The Sanctum, at all costs. As Reeces and Hershey leave, Cell appears in The Sanctum and greets Reeces and then uses his cosmic energy to blow a massive hole in the roof of the main building. Reeces, Hershey, and the Masters of Magic in the area use their magic against Cell.

On the Sheikh Nation, Mega Man uses his newly found powers to completely level a mountain. Shocked at this, Mega Man takes a step back. Goku calms him down and tells him that one should never be afraid of their own power, but must understand it. Mega Man thanks Goku for helping him out, and Goku bows. Kirby says that Mega Man's new powers are impressive and sarcastically comments that it looks like he won't be needing the All-Captains Squad anymore. Mega Man answers back that that's why he's here and wishes to recruit Kirby back onto the team, since they got their butts kicked without him. Yamcha then suddenly runs out into the field and says that he has something for them to see. Mega Man asks if it's his friends, and Yamcha replies that it's not them, it's much worse. Mega Man, Kirby, Goku, and Yamcha run back towards the main city. Yamcha shows them that there are massive cosmic discharges emanating from their quadrant and it appears to be spreading. Mega Man says that he needs to leave, but Goku stops him, asking where they're going. Mega Man says that Cell plans to destroy the quadrant and that Goku and his people need to stay here and get their people to safety, while he and Kirby head out to fight Cell directly. Goku then says that they heard the man and orders Yamcha to assemble the guard and start escorting people to safety. Mega Man and Kirby leave the building, with Mega Man asking Kirby if he's ready for this, and Kirby replies that he was born ready.

Alone and by herself on the Starcaster, Lupina wakes up after being passed out and realizes that her friends are all gone. Scared, she panics and gets up, booting the Starcaster's mainframe back up. Once it boots up, she realizes that the next two blips on the map are The Sanctum and the Sheikh Nation. Realizing that TFAWPS' allies are in immediate danger, she braces herself and begins to make a call. As the phone rings, she immediately starts saying that she knows the person on the other end is probably mad at them and says that she wouldn't call if it wasn't super important and she is then cut off by a knock on the Starcaster's door. She opens it and sees Mario and Luigi, the very people she's calling. Mario opens the conversation by saying she doesn't look good. Once inside the Starcaster, Lupina explains how Cell just sent them through a wormhole and that they could be anywhere by now. Mario says that they've been tracking Cell since before TFAWPS began their search and says they saw the whole thing. Luigi promises Lupina that, although it may look bad, Cell is running out of power. Lupina asks how that's possible and Luigi says that they've learned that the more power he uses, the more he needs to recharge, so if they're going to strike it should be now. Lupina asks how they can strike without TFAWPS. Mario says that he's sure TFAWPS are alive and they're just somewhere else in the universe, but either way they need to move out. Lupina says that if TFAWPS really are alive, then they'll show up when the time is right. Mario says that he hopes she's right about that and goes to pilot the Starcaster. Lupina also apologizes about not delivering Pig King like they promised, but Luigi tells her that all is forgiven since Pig King has been pardoned by the Galactic Federation. Lupina is visibly shocked to hear this.

On the Land of Ooo, Zack walks around the downed members of TFAWPS commenting that it appears the tables have turned. Ted angrily spits back at Zack, telling him that they had a deal and Zack should be in Fin-Land. Zack says that he lied. Captain Cowboy then goes in for an attack, but is blocked by Mofo and Roy. Agent Yellow and Bart then go after the team, but Buster, G. Biv, Paco, and Sonic jump in after them. Ted then goes after Zack and TFAWPS and the Dark Order finally resume their right that they left unfinished so long ago. As his teammates fight, Pink Panther notices the abandoned Simpson camp and makes his way towards it quickly. Bart and Paco resume their fight from before while Buster and G. Biv take on Agent Yellow, dodging his laser eyes. Sonic tells his allies to make sure this is the last fight they have with these clowns. Ted promises his friend that it will be and hits Zack with an energy blast. Angered, Zack charges back at Ted. Captain Cowboy taunts TFAWPS as he uses his blasters to shoot at them, while Roy creates a cosmic shield to protect himself and Mofo. As Pink Panther makes it to the camp, he discovers a left over Simpson ship. Getting inside, he quickly figures out how to turn it on and boots up the communications system. After booting it up, he manages to get a call out and after several rings, Lupina picks up. Delighted to hear from each other, they both ask where the other one is at the same time. Pink Panther tells Lupina to go first and she says she's with S.E.C.R.E.T. and they're making their way to the next blip point. Pink Panther says that himself and the rest of the team are at home. He then tells Lupina to continue to go towards the blip, but not to engage and promises that they'll meet up with them soon. Pink Panther then pilots the ship and drives towards the battle. He quickly opens the door and tells his teammates to get in. Roy fires a cosmic blast at Captain Cowboy knocking him back, while Paco slams Bart out of the way. Sonic trips up Agent Yellow and Ted blasts Zack and they all enter the Simpson ship and fly away. As the Dark Order gets up, Zack orders everyone into The Rental and they set off after them.

Out in space, Genesect, Android 16, and Android 17 sit at a meeting point as Cell returns from his rampage on The Sanctum. As Cell returns, Genesect tells him that it's about time he showed up. Cell asks why and says that nobody stands in their way now. Cell then asks Genesect if he held up his end of the deal. Genesect says that the All-Captains Squad is no more. Cell says that TFAWPS is also out of the picture. Cell goes on to say that he feels great knowing that his purpose in the universe is finally being fulfilled. Cell then orders the Androids to hand over the shards so he can recharge. Cell asks Genesect where the third shard is and Genesect lies and tells him that Mega Man blew it up. Cell then says that he's grateful he's at least dead, and hopes for Genesect's sake that he really is dead. Genesect says that they'll be vulnerable out in the open like this. Cell then decides to create a wall of protection around their area, by creating a massive asteroid field.

Mega Man and Kirby fly towards Cell's location. Kirby discusses his experience on the Sheikh Nation and the hospitality Goku showed him. Mega Man says that he needs to tell Kirby something. He tells him that although Mega Man got new powers, Genesect did as well. Kirby asks why he didn't mention that earlier. Mega Man says because he didn't want Goku to get involved because his priority needed to be his people. Kirby then says that if he's being honest, he doesn't expect either of them to make it out alive. Mega Man then thanks Kirby for his faith in him and his newfound powers. Kirby laughs and then says he's serious and that they've never taken on anything like this before. Mega Man says that he knows and is prepared and asks if Kirby is. Kirby says that the world already thinks he's dead, so he might as well go out fighting. Arriving at the point, they witness the massive asteroid field and begin to wonder how they're going to get passed this.

Racing across the galaxy, TFAWPS and the Dark Order are neck and neck. Captain Cowboy attempts to ram The Rental into the Simpson vessel, but Buster narrowly manages to avoid it, yelling at him out the window. Agent Yellow tells Captain Cowboy that he thought the ship was a rental, but Captain Cowboy says to forget that and says the ship is his now. Buster then turns the Simpson ship into The Rental, with Mofo commenting on Buster's road rage. Sonic says that they need to lose these guys and asks if there's any weaponry on this ship. Roy answers yes and Sonic says where and G. Biv says right here and the two of them climb out onto the roof and begin firing cosmic blasts at The Rental. Zack then sends Agent Yellow to the roof of The Rental and he begins firing back. Ted gets on the loudspeaker and announces to Zack telling him to turn around. Zack answers back, saying that he's obviously not going to go anywhere and promises that the shards will inevitably be his. Zack then says that he managed to escape the Negative Zone, so he's unstoppable. Sonic takes the mic away from Ted and says that the only reason he got out was because of some guy that he betrayed, which makes him nothing more than a horrible being. As the Rainbow Twins continue to battle Agent Yellow, an asteroid heads straight for them, forcing them back inside their ships. Paco then finds a laser gun on the ship and begins to fire. Hitting The Rental, Captain Cowboy directs Bart and Agent Yellow to the weapons on The Rental and they begin firing back and forth at each other.

While Cell charges up, Genesect uses his newfound powers to destroy asteroids, completely obliterating them. Android 16 says that it is unwise to destroy their line of defense. Genesect tells him to shut up because he's just a machine. Genesect says that if anything manages to get through, Genesect can obliterate them. Android 17 says that Cell would not be happy with that, and Genesect tells the Androids to dream bigger. The Androids respond that they are not able to dream and are programmed to follow Cell's command and only his command. Spotting an opening in the asteroid belt due to Genesect's actions, Mega Man guns the ship towards it, quickly telling Kirby to put a space suit on. Mega Man then carefully waits and quickly flies the ship towards the opening, destroying the ship in the process, however Mega Man grabs Kirby and flies him to safety. Due to his connections to the shards and their connection to the asteroid field, Cell was able to sense something is wrong and snaps out of his trance. He flies over to the Androids and asks them what happened. Android 16 replies that there has been a breach in the field, but Cell replies that this should be impossible and asks how it happened. Before the Androids could say anything, Genesect interjects and says it doesn't matter and that they need to fight. Cell says that Genesect will fight alone and Cell returns to finish charging up, while the Androids guard him personally. It's too late however, as Mega Man and Kirby have arrived. Mega Man immediately attacks Genesect and the two once again hit each other with all their new powers creating beautiful cosmic illusions. Impressed with what he sees, Kirby takes his eyes off of the battle and is attacked by Android 16 an Android 17. As Kirby takes on the Androids and Mega Man and Genesect locked in a fierce clash, Cell takes the opportunity to charge up again, as well as fix the hole in the asteroid belt.

Meanwhile, TFAWPS and the Dark Order continue firing on each other, with both running out of ammo. Paco asks Sonic what they'll do if they have to take on the Dark Order and Cell at the same time. Sonic says that they'd both have to defeat Cell first and then they could deal with the Dark Order after. As they approach the asteroid field, Zack informs his teammates that they've arrived. However, as he says this The Rental is suddenly violently attacked and forced to the ground on a nearby planet by Pig King and Master Robot. Sonic says that he never thought he'd say this, but he's actually glad to see Pig King for once and the group head towards the asteroid field, leaving the Dark Order behind. Meanwhile, Master Robot continues to force The Rental to crash. Once The Rental is downed on the planet, Master Robot grabs Agent Yellow and Bart and electrocuting them and tying them up. Captain Cowboy comes after him, but Master Robot manages to subdue him as well, trapping him under a rock. Finally, Master Robot grabs Zack and holds him and tightens his arms in a vice grip, so Zack is permanently trapped. With the Dark Order subdued, Pig King steps out of the shadows. Zack then asks Pig King what he wants and Pig King simply answers that he just wants to pick up their conversation where they left off, with an evil smile on his face.

As TFAWPS approach the asteroid field, they pull up next to the Starcaster. Lupina radios and tells them to park on top and come inside. As they do so, Sonic greets Mario and begins to apologize, but Mario tells him to save it since they have bigger things to worry about at the moment. Pink Panther asks if they have a plan and Lupina says that as a matter of fact, they do. She explains to the team that Cell has created an asteroid field and it is impenetrable, but if the Starcaster fires a concentrated beam of energy, they can open up a brief hole in the field, but it can only be done once. Mario then asks who's going in and Sonic quickly replies that the whole team is going in. Mario says that they could all die in there, and Sonic says that it doesn't matter and explains that Cell was created by them, meaning he's their responsibility to deal with, even if it costs them their lives. Pink Panther points out that Oscar and Phoebe understood this risk and the rest of the team have no right to do any less than them. Realizing they won't back down, Mario accepts their decision and orders Luigi to fire the energy beam. Sonic then asks the team if they're ready and they all agree that they are. As Luigi fires the laser, TFAWPS enter the field, the beam cuts off, and the asteroid belt resumes.

Realizing they're outnumbered, Cell ceases his recharge and fires cosmic energy at Kirby, knocking him towards TFAWPS and also at Mega Man, knocking him back. Cell then calls over Genesect and the Androids as they approach TFAWPS. Sonic then asks Cell if he realizes that this is the end, and Cell says that he's known that it's the end since the beginning. Sonic then says that they might as well get this over with and he and his friends charge towards Cell and his allies. Mega Man and Genesect once again battle each other, this time with the help from Ted. The Androids go after Kirby and Paco. Everyone else goes after Cell, however Cell opens up a portal to the Negative Zone, bringing forth an army of Negative Zone Soldiers forcing Sonic, Pink Panther, Mofo, and Buster to battle them. Cell and the Rainbow Twins rise above the rest of the fight and face each other. Cell tells them to look down upon the carnage of lesser beings. He goes on to say that he and they are above this and asks them to join him. The Rainbow Twins say that there's no way Cell believes that'll really work on them. Cell then says that he's disappointed and they enter a battle. As Mega Man and Genesect continue throwing everything they have at each other, Ted asks what this is about and Mega Man quickly explains that a shard exploded and some things happened and now they have powers. Ted and Mega Man then both attack Genesect. Sonic leads the charge against the Negative Zone Soldiers, urging his teammates to not give up.

As the fight rages on, the Rainbow Twins begin to feel weak and weary. G. Biv asks Roy if he's okay and Roy replies that he's not. Cell then grows to a massive size, and takes on the shape of the Cosmic Entity. G. Biv then realizes that Cell has been siphoning their power. Roy then says that they have to warn the team, but as they do, Cell goes after them once more. Roy and G. Biv yell towards the rest of the team that Cell is stealing their powers, but Cell grabs them by the ears and starts forcefully draining their powers. Realizing their allies are in danger, Sonic and his friends then go towards the Rainbow Twins, but Cell was counting on this. He then creates a massive cosmic chain and starts swinging it around. From outside the asteroid field, Lupina, Mario, and Luigi watch in stunned silence. From their planet, Pig King, Master Robot, Zack, Agent Yellow, Bart, and Captain Cowboy turn towards the field and look on in shock. Cell then brings the chain down, forcing Sonic, Pink Panther, Paco, Mofo, and Buster into its grasp. Ted flies down to save his teammates, but Cell soon traps him in the chain as well. As the chain tightens around them, the TFAWPS members scream in agony as the Rainbow Twins weakly beg Cell to stop this. Noticing what's happening, Mega Man summons a powerful energy blast at Genesect and flies down towards his allies, but Genesect is there and fires the shard at Mega Man, knocking him into the asteroid field. Noticing this, Kirby tries to get to Mega Man, but Kirby is then restrained by the Androids. Cell then smiles to himself.

Lupina begs Mario and Luigi to enter the asteroid field, but Mario glumly says that there's nothing they can do. Lupina, realizing that Mario is correct, begins to cry, but she is comforted by Luigi. Back in the asteroid field, Roy and G. Biv watch in horror as Cell tortures their teammates, unable to move. The Rainbow Twins manage to lock eyes with Sonic, as the life force is being choked out of him and they use their weak voices to apologize to him, however Sonic is unable to speak. Cell then turns towards Genesect and demands he hand over the shard so he can finish this. Genesect then slyly asks Cell if he wants just the one shard and reveals that Genesect has all three in his possession. Realizing he's been betrayed, he tries to move towards Genesect, but it's too late. Genesect throws the three shards at Cell with ninja-like speed, impaling him in his heart, brain, and neck. Genesect then picks up one of the shards out of Cell and uses it to siphon all of the energy out of his former ally. As Cell is forced to watch all the power deteriorate from him, the Androids attempt to save him, but Genesect uses his other hand to stab both Androids at once, pulling out their circuitry, killing them. As this happens, Kirby manages to escape. Genesect then tells excitedly TFAWPS to watch this as he rips Cell apart piece by piece and sends his remains through a portal. Genesect then takes over the cosmic chain and says that Cell never looked at the big picture, with Genesect saying that he's a big picture kind of guy and the big picture is of him, everywhere in the universe. He then turns the Rainbow Twins, saying that he's going to use them to do it. Genesect then uses the shards and his powers to lift each of the defeated six TFAWPS members and then opens up six wormholes. Genesect then wishes them luck wherever and whenever they land, he just promises that it won't be this universe. He then sends each of the six members into a portal and closing the portal behind him, as the Rainbow Twins watch, physically and emotionally powerless.

As this happens, Genesect then launches cosmic energy all throughout his new domain, spreading his influence. The Starcaster quickly turns around and blasts off, with Lupina breaking down in tears. As he drives away, Mario lets a tear run down his cheek. At the same time TFAWPS are thrown into portals, Kirby pulls Mega Man out of the asteroid fields and Mega Man weakly puts his arm around Kirby as Kirby escorts him to safety, urging Mega Man not to look back.
