Synopsis
Sonic, Pink Panther, Paco, and Ted corner Zack, Bart, and Agent Yellow during an attempt to steal the shard. Bart and Pink Panther have a brief battle when Zack orders Bart to storm TFAWPS Tower by himself. Paco and Agent Yellow battle, but Agent Yellow is eventually tossed aside by Paco. As Bart heads up to the Tower, Oscar, Phoebe, Buster, and Mofo are inside and notice his approach. Bart tries to break the windows, but to no avail. Mega Man asks Oscar, Phoebe, Buster, and Mofo to stop Bart from damaging the Tower.

As Sonic and Zack battle each other on the ground, Ted tries to distract Zack, but accidentally cause him to fire a stray laser shot at the Tower, shocking Ted, Buster, and Mofo which causes them to fall off of the Tower roof. Bart, thinking he was the one who caused this, begins to celebrate. Sonic, Pink Panther, Oscar and Phoebe watch as the Tower catches fire. In the confusion, Zack escapes with Agent Yellow and Bart. Inside the Tower, Mega Man does his best to contain the flames, but Paco flies up and flies super fast around the building. Sonic and Ted soon follow and the three of them are finally able to extinguish the flames. Sonic orders the team back inside the HQ to have a "What Went Wrong" meeting.

During the meeting, the team asks Ted what's been going on with him lately and how he seems to be acting a lot stranger than normal. Ted at first claims that, being from Fin-Land, he finds it hard to sometimes blend in with Ooo culture, but Sonic sees right through this. Each member of the team recounts a time in the recent past where Ted has done something out of character, and this causes Ted to become depressed and tells Sonic and the team that he's going out for a walk.

In Zack's Lair, Zack is continuing his research on locating another shard, but instead locates Ted wandering around. Out on the streets, Ted tries to help an old woman cross the street, but inadvertently causes her to fall down a manhole cover. Distracted, Ted also destroys artistic shrubbery and a building under construction.

In a nearby pizza parlor, Pig King prepares to enjoy a full pizza all by himself. As Ted absentmindedly walks past the pizza parlor, he is met in an ally by Agent Yellow who informs him that Zack needs him. Ted says that perhaps that's true, but he doesn't need him and tosses Agent Yellow aside. Bart then appears behind him taunting Ted about how he should be feared for taking down TFAWPS Tower by himself, but Ted says that it was him and tosses Bart aside, landing him in Pig King's pizza. An angry Pig King threatens Ted, but Zack soon arrives himself and tosses Pig King aside. Ted and Zack have a brief battle, but Zack orders Bart to bring in the containment field and they capture Ted.

Pig King returns to his castle and is furiously ranting to Gunther and Tyler about being embarrassed by TFAWPS and decides that it's his turn to embarrass them.

Back in Zack's Lair, Ted's power is being drained by Agent Yellow. As Ted feels himself getting weaker, he wonders why Zack has betrayed his homeland. Agent Yellow and Bart soon begin arguing about who has done more of the work and deserves more recognition, Zack interrupts them and says that they need to focus on draining Ted's power and turning it into a weapon. Zack also advises them that they can also use his power to locate the second shard and create a weapon capable of taking over the Land of Ooo. Angered, Ted tries to manipulate Bart and Agent Yellow into letting him go.

Back in TFAWPS Tower, Sonic and Mega Man relive the day that Genesect arrived in the Land of Ooo with the Infinity Dagger and how their fight caused the Dagger to explode into the two shards. Mega Man once again thanks Sonic for allowing him to stay at their HQ until his ship gets repaired and receives new orders. Sonic reminds the team of the importance of getting these shards back into safekeeping and away from Zack. Mofo mentions that Zack has their friend and his wallet and vow to stop him. Pink Panther and Buster get into a friendly argument about who is more weird, Zack or Pig King, before they are interrupted by a phone call from the Mayor saying that Pig King has called in a threat to city hall and Sonic rushes out to save him, putting Pink Panther in charge of Ted's rescue mission. Mofo and Buster get excited about the "prison break from villainville."

Arriving at city hall, Sonic carefully enters, shivering at Genesect's ice block. Sonic finds the Mayor in his office, calmly working. Sonic asks him about the threat he called in, but the Mayor is confused saying that he didn't call in any threat and tells Sonic to take a break because he's been working too hard. Just then, Sonic gets a call saying the local supermarket is under attack.

In Zack's Lair, Ted's power is nearly 50% drained and urges Agent Yellow and Bart to work faster to drain the rest of his power. Agent Yellow and Bart have been running on treadmills at their highest speeds for an hour trying to speed up the process. Running out of breath, Agent Yellow doubts that this process is truly helping drain his power faster, and Ted agrees saying that they need to have more energy in their bodies to burn off, so Agent Yellow and Bart bake a giant brownie and begin eating it to give themselves more energy to burn. Ted then tricks them into doing a fake quiz show in order to maximize their brain power, but consistently asks them trick questions. Suddenly, Zack videos in and becomes angry at Agent Yellow and Bart for falling for Ted's tricks, but just when Zack threatens to come down there, his lair is suddenly attacked by TFAWPS.

Pink Panther sends Paco down to create a hole in the roof so they can break into Zack's underground base. While Paco works on smashing his way through, Pink Panther, Mofo, Buster, Oscar, and Phoebe work on trying to find a secret entrance. Zack notices that his weapon is now only 75% complete, but decides that it'll have to be enough and orders Bart and Agent Yellow to eliminate Ted, but only after they hold off the rest of TFAWPS.

Sonic quickly arrives at the supermarket and frantically tells everyone to run for their lives. Confused, everyone stares at him and continues shopping. Sonic explores the market and finds Master Robot shopping, asking Sonic if he needs help finding something. Sonic, confused, says no and then decides to head to Pig King's castle and ambush him there.

Agent Yellow and Bart emerge from a secret entrance and engage Pink Panther, Mofo, Buster, Oscar and Phoebe in battle. Bart uses his Transformer to inconvenience the team, but Mofo manages to overpower him and take the Transformer away, catapulting Bart throughout the HQ and landing him in a mud puddle on the outside of the lair. Meanwhile, Pink Panther engages Agent Yellow in a fight.

Zack's weapon is finally completed and Ted is nearly fully drained of his power. Just as the weapon reaches 98% completion, Paco bursts in and rescues Ted. Paco tries to get Ted out of the lair, but Ted calls upon his remaining power to fly him away from the Land of Ooo. Paco immediately returns to the surface and informs Pink Panther of Ted's escape. As Pink Panther congratulates them for saving him, he is knocked away by Zack's new weapon. Zack then knocks Buster, Mofo, Oscar and Phoebe away with the weapon as well. Paco tries to attack, but he too is pushed away. Mega Man comes down from TFAWPS Tower and hits Zack by surprise but he too is knocked away. Zack begins firing his weapon around the Land of Ooo.

In Pig King's Castle, Pig King emerges from the bathroom having just taken a shower, but he is soon ambushed by Sonic who scares him. Sonic demands to know why Pig King has been calling in all these false threats around the city, but Pig King just laughs at him saying how easy it is to fool Sonic. Suddenly, the castle is hit by Zack's weapon. Sonic asks if this is another one of Pig King's tricks, but Pig King shakes his head in absolute shock. Sonic immediately springs into action, leaving a distressed and confused Pig King behind.

Out in space, a weakened Ted travels to Fin-Land where an awesome power surge hits him.

Back at the lair, TFAWPS is exhausted and passed out on the ground. Pink Panther gets back up to fight, but Mofo comments that it may be impossible to stop Zack.

On Fin-Land, Ted questions whether or not he should go back to the Land of Ooo or stay on Fin-Land. When Ted realizes that his power is the only thing capable of stopping Zack, he makes his way back.

Suddenly, Sonic arrives and battles Zack one on one and manages to do some damage, but Zack knocks him away as well. With all the heroes down, Zack prepares to destroy TFAWPS once and for all, Zack is pulled into space by a cosmic force. Zack then comes face to face with Ted who tells Zack that the power that he possesses wasn't meant for him and that he knows that very well. Zack tells Ted that he doesn't have the right to tell him that and Ted responds with "I do." Ted then takes the weapon from Zack and destroys it once and for all. TFAWPS watches from the ground and cheers their friend on. Agent Yellow and Bart watch as Zack falls back down to the surface. Getting up, Zack drags the two of them back into the lair in defeat. Ted returns to TFAWPS Tower and is welcomed back by his teammates and he tells them that he is home. In Zack's Lair, Bart continues to ask Agent Yellow some of the questions Ted asked him, but Zack silences them.

At TFAWPS Tower, Mofo and Paco examine the Transformer and wonder where it came from and what it could be capable of.
