Synopsis
Pink Panther and Paco scout out Zack's Lair when a giant blimp with Zack's face appears from the lair, piloted by Agent Yellow, Bart, and Dr. Robotnik. Sonic leaps into action and tries to board the blimp. Dr. Robotnik shouts instructions at Bart and Agent Yellow, who ignore him and pilot the blimp their way. Bart begins dropping bombs on Pink Panther and Paco, but Dr. Robotnik urges him to stop wasting the bombs, while Agent Yellow tells him to shut up. Paco flies Pink Panther up towards the blimp and launches him forward, using his claws to pop it, while Sonic runs up at catches him, safely making it back to the ground while the blimp deflates and lands in a field. Sonic, Pink Panther, and Paco approach the blimp and are confronted by Agent Yellow and Dr. Robotnik. Suddenly, Mofo appears out of nowhere and beats both of them, causing them to run away. Sonic, Pink Panther, and Paco are impressed with his actions.

At TFAWPS Tower, Sonic tells Ted and Buster about Mofo's impressive victory, but Mofo just brushes them off. Sonic asks Mofo why he's acting so cold towards them, but Mofo just ignores him. Paco then enters and asks what's going on. Mofo claims that he's tired and decides to go back to his room and take a nap, brushing off Oscar and Phoebe along the way. In his room, Mofo gets a call from Zack, who demands a report. Mofo informs Zack that everything is going according to plan. Zack says that he hates having to talk to one of the TFAWPS members and then Mofo changes back into Bart, having recently gotten his Transformer back. Zack then orders Bart to gather as much information as he can and then report back to him.

As "Mofo" makes his way through the TFAWPS headquarters, he overhears a conversation between Ted and Paco about keeping sensitive information safe. "Mofo" asks Ted what information he means, but Ted quickly asks "Mofo" who he thinks is stronger him, or Paco. "Mofo" once again asks what sensitive information they were discussing, but Ted and Paco continue their argument, frustrating "Mofo" who leaves. "Mofo" then visits Sonic who asks what he's doing. Sonic tells him that he's just updating TFAWPS Tower security codes, nothing interesting. "Mofo" then asks Sonic if he can see the new codes and Sonic says sure, but first he should see a funny video of beavers eating Italian food. "Mofo" says he's not interested in that, but Sonic can't stop laughing at the video and then asks "Mofo" if they should order Italian food later and he goes on about a new restaurant that just opened up, prompting "Mofo" to leave in a huff.

As he walks the hallway, he reverts back to his original self. Bart wonders that maybe he should try replicating someone else and turns himself into Paco. "Paco" then enters a lounge where Pink Panther and Ted are hanging out. "Paco" then pretends to fall over and over again, but neither Ted or Pink Panther make any mention of it. "Paco" then leaves the room and Ted comments to Pink Panther that Paco's balance has improved. Bart then returns to Mofo's room and contemplates what to do. Bart returns to Sonic and this time changes into Ted. "Ted" approaches Sonic and tells him that he really needs to see the security codes, but Sonic asks if he's okay as he doesn't sound like himself, noting that he's lost is usual Fin-Land accent. Unable, to perfect it, "Ted" leaves the room.

Bart then changes into Buster and heads into Pink Panther's room and asks him to tell him a secret. Pink Panther tells him that he should never fall in love with someone who has stronger powers then he does. Frustrated, "Buster" leaves the room. Bart then changes into Sonic and approaches Ted asking him for some secret information. Ted then tells "Sonic" that they are to proceed with the transfer of the shard out of the City Hall Vault. Suddenly, the real Sonic approaches and "Sonic" bashes Ted on the head and changes back into Mofo as Sonic enters the room. Confused, Ted tells Sonic that they were discussing the plans to move the shard and Sonic agrees to let "Mofo" help with the transference.

As Sonic and "Mofo" travel to the Vault, Sonic comments that the sky is clear, it's not too hot, and they've encountered no trouble and jokes that something bad will happen. "Mofo" thinks to himself that Sonic has no idea.

In Zack's Lair, Zack tells Agent Yellow and Dr. Robotnik that they will soon have their hands on the next shard and calls them idiots. Zack then sends the two of them to the Vault and calls his plan the "greatest inside job ever."

Inside the Vault, Sonic greets Mega Man, who is standing guard in the Vault. He tells Sonic and "Mofo" that in order to enter, they need to submit to a retinal scan. Sonic does the scan, followed by "Mofo" who passes. Sonic and "Mofo" ride the elevator down to the holding chamber and Sonic tells "Mofo" to keep watch while Sonic retrieves the shard. As Sonic enters the chamber, Bart changes into Mega Man and starts using the computer to open the doors. The real Mega Man watches a security camera and notices himself using the computer causing him to panic.

Outside City Hall, Zack gives the word that the Vault is vulnerable and Agent Yellow and Dr. Robotnik charge inside and begin their attack. Inside, Mega Man calls the rest of TFAWPS and tells them that the Vault has been compromised, but is suddenly cut off from them. Pink Panther then tells the team to get ready and they head out. Oscar and Phoebe say that they'll meet them there as they're going to get back up.

As Agent Yellow and Dr. Robotnik make their way into the Vault, they are met by Mega Man, who electrocutes Agent Yellow and tells Dr. Robotnik not to move. Dr. Robotnik then pulls out a laser and fires at Mega Man, catching him off guard. Mega Man then battles the two, but the laser damaged his suit and he is beaten by Agent Yellow. As they prepare to finish Mega Man off, they are stopped by the arrival of Ted, Pink Panther, Paco and Buster. They fight off Agent Yellow and Dr. Robotnik. Mega Man then gets up and grabs Dr. Robotnik and punches him in the face as revenge. Paco leads the charge against Agent Yellow, whereupon they pick him up and throw him into the monitors, electrocuting him.

Sonic hears the commotion from inside the chamber and goes to investigate, finding "Mega Man." He asks him what he's doing here and "Mega Man" responds with "making sure you never leave here alive." "Mega Man" then attacks Sonic, with Sonic asking what he's doing and says "it's me, Sonic.", but "Mega Man" continues his assault. Sonic then manages to restrain "Mega Man" and asks what kind of shape shifter he is, assuming he's a leftover Simpson from the invasion. Bart doesn't answer and instead changes into Paco and attacks Sonic once again. "Paco" throws Sonic into the elevator and then chases him in there, with the two fighting. As the elevator opens, Sonic runs out and destroys the door, trapping "Paco" inside. "Paco" then changes back into Bart. Sonic questions how Bart was able to get the Transformer back, but Bart runs past Sonic, disguising himself as Sonic in the process. Sonic and "Sonic" encounter each other and begin a fight, with "Sonic" saying that he loves Italian food and Sonic replies by saying all he's gonna get is jailhouse spaghetti and push each other into another elevator.

As the elevator comes up, both Sonics sit patiently and wait for the elevator doors to open and as soon as they do they are at each other's throats once again. As they continue fighting, they come across the rest of TFAWPS. Both Sonics try to convince them that they're the real Sonic, but TFAWPS is visibly confused, not knowing which Sonic is the real Sonic. Agent Yellow and Dr. Robotnik regroup and Dr. Robotnik tells him that one of the Sonics is Bart in disguise and Agent Yellow suggests giving him a hand. During the fight, "Sonic" manages to kick Sonic up into the ceiling, causing a piece to break and fall on him. In the chaos, Bart changes into Mofo again and tells TFAWPS to stop Sonic. As TFAWPS attacks Sonic, he reassures them that Mofo is really Bart in disguise, but his teammates don't listen and continue attacking him. Having had enough, Sonic shakes off his teammates and tells Bart that he can't fool him anymore, but "Mofo" attacks Sonic once again. Ted then fires an energy blast at "Mofo" which breaks the Transformer and reverts back into Bart.

Bart gets up and tells Dr. Robotnik to activate the force field, which traps TFAWPS. Sonic then points out how TFAWPS is on the wrong side and the Dark Order has a clear shot to the Vault. Suddenly, Zack enters through the roof and prepares to take the shard. Suddenly, Oscar and Phoebe crash through the hole in the wall and subdue Agent Yellow, Bart, and Dr. Robotnik. Pink Panther asks where their back up is and Mario then enters through the hole shocks Zack, knocking him out. Sonic decides that the shard needs to be kept someplace more safe, and Ted volunteers to take it back to Fin-Land and hide it among the vault.

The group returns to TFAWPS Tower where Mario introduces himself as the director of S.E.C.R.E.T., a universal intelligence gathering agency and also reveals himself as the thief who had taken the Transformer from their headquarters. He apologizes for the subterfuge and says that they just needed the technology so they could create some of their own. Sonic is unsure if they can trust Mario, but Mario tells Sonic that they've been trusting S.E.C.R.E.T. the entire time and brings out Mega Man, one of Mario's most trusted allies. Sonic then questions how Oscar and Phoebe knew about Mario and they respond by saying that he accidentally called them during his escape from the HQ on the night of the robbery. Sonic says that it doesn't matter and says that the important thing is that the team all trusts each other. Pink Panther says that that sounds like something a shape shifter would say, with Buster, Oscar, and Paco agreeing and they all attack him, with Sonic insisting that he's the real him. Mega Man and Mario laugh at TFAWPS, until Buster asks where the real Mofo is.

Later that night, the real Mofo wakes up inside a box. After getting out of the box, he finds himself inside Pig King's Castle, where he tries to sneak out quietly, but is met by Gunther, who draws Pig King's attention to him and throws him out of his castle and he falls down the mountain.
