"When You and I Were Young, Sally"
Sonic, Antoine, Boomer (Rotor), Miles (Tails), and Sally play with a ball
in the house. Rosie makes them all go outside, and Julayla tells Sally that
it's time for her lesson. Disappointed, Sally says she'll tell her friends
that she has to go back inside. Julayla tells Sally that she can learn
things without her and sends her off to play with her friends. Rosie
doesn't understand why Sally likes her friends, but Julayla explains that
it is Sally's destiny.
Sonic plays volleyball by himself while a sad Miles stands and wishes he
could be cool like Sonic. Sally explains that everyone has their own
talents: Sally is good with her lessons, Sonic is fast, Boomer can make
machines, and Antoine has a French accent. Sonic says that Miles is
special because of his two tails. Sonic tugs on the tails and then runs
around Miles to give him enough speed to fly. Miles flies into the
sky, but he loses control and flies into the Great Forest.
After Boomer calculates where Miles should have fallen, the friends explore
an area and hear a voice coming from a tree stump. Antoine says it sounds
like Miles is saying that the ground is unstable. Suddenly, everyone
falls through the ground and finds a limestone cavern. Sally says it
should be their secret headquarters and they should call themselves freedom
fighters. She explains that something is going to happen soon that
she cannot discuss with them. Their first mission will be to figure
out how to escape from the cave. Miles, who now calls himself Tails,
finds a vine and everyone climbs onto the surface, ready for new challenges.
"Stop . . . Sonic Time!"
Part 1:
A group of children ask Sonic many questions, including if they could get
shoes like his. Sonic explains that his Uncle Chuck made the shoes from
the energy found in power rings. The closest shoes to Sonic's are Tails'
shoes, and the kids ask to hear the story.
Tails had gotten all A's on his report card so everyone decided to throw
a party. Antoine gave Tails a medal and says he got the medal when he
saved the king's life. Rotor points a finger at Antoine and says it
was Antoine's father that saved the king's life. As Antoine continues
to talk, Tails tells Sally that he wishes Sonic were there. Sally promises
Tails that he will be there soon and then wonders what happened to Sonic.
Sonic arrives and gives a bag of rocks to a cloaked figure. The figure
gives Sonic a pair of shoes and then he runs off. The figure raises
his hood (revealing himself as Merlin Prower) and thanks Sonic for allowing
him to give a gift to his nephew. Meanwhile, Robotnik is upset that
the freedom fighters are hiding in the Great Forest. He plans to use
an immobilizing ray to freeze everyone and then roboticize them. Snively
walks off to test the ray, but Robotnik refuses and orders Cluck to activate
the device. Snively thinks to himself that someday he will rule the
world alone. As Sonic runs, he sees a ray from overhead. He decides
not to worry about it and hurry to the party.
Part 2:
Sonic runs, thinking that he's gotten faster. When he arrives inside
Knothole, he realizes that everyone is frozen. Sonic knows that Robotnik
is behind this and uses the great oak slide to head back to the surface.
Robotnik's swatbots are already picking up the frozen animals for roboticization.
Sonic hides the shoes under some leaves and then pretends to be frozen.
A swatbot picks Sonic up and places him in a transport aircraft.
Part 3:
Robotnik is pleased that Sonic is frozen on a pedestal and boasts about
everyone will be roboticized. Sonic jumps down and pulls on Robotnik's
mustache. Using his speed, Sonic pushes every button on Robotnik's
console and soon everyone is un-frozen. Sonic then runs around Robotnik
and his swatbots and then leaves. The swatbots shoot at Sonic, but
they miss and destroy the Time-immobilizing Ray. Sonic rushes back
to Knothole and tells Tails to close his eyes and hold out his hands.
Tails obeys, and Sonic leaves and returns to place the shoes in Tails' hands.
Tails is thrilled at his present, and Sonic ends his story. To Sonic's
surprise, all of the children are asleep.

"Total Re: Genesis"
Part 1:
Sonic, Sally, and Antoine appear as if they have just fought a rough battle.
Uncle Chuck appears on Sonic's wrist communicator and says that whatever they
encountered scrambled their transmission. Sally grabs Sonic's wrist
and explains that they ran into a remaining Combot. Antoine pulls Sonic's
wrist away from Sally and says that the robot had a back-up source of power
so it could begin to function again. Sonic moves his wrist away from
Antoine.
Sally begins to tell the story, explaining how a legless Combot emerged
from underneath some tree logs and began firing at the three of them.
Sonic and Antoine were barely conscious, so Sally had to take them to safety.
Sally ran back to the Combot and tried to get its attention. As she
ran away, the Combot shot a tether at Sally's leg. As the Combot tried
to pull Sally closer, she hung onto a rock and used her phaser to slice a
portion of the cliff above her. The huge rock fell toward the Combot.
Part 2:
Antoine says that Sally must be tired from the battle since the Combot had
legs. While Sonic and Sally lay unconscious on the ground, Antoine pulled
out his sword and fought the Combot. The Combot turned invisible and
sliced an X across Antoine's suit. Antoine points out that he can still
see the Combot's footprints and thrusts his sword into the Combot.
Part 3:
Sonic tells Antoine to chill out while he tells the real story. Antoine
hides behind a rock while Sally begs for Sonic to save them. Sonic faces
the Combot head-on and even stops to fix his sock so he can look nice when
he defeats the Combot. The Combot flies toward Sonic and Sonic charges
toward the robot. An explosion covers the fighting area.
Epilogue:
Antoine and Sally do not believe Sonic's version of the story, and Uncle
Chuck tells everyone to be quiet. Nicole had recorded all of the events
objectively from a prototype spy satellite created by Uncle Chuck. Nicole
uses holographic rays to depict the day’s events. Sonic had cut the
Combot's legs off and then kicked dirt into the exposed circuits. Next
Antoine used his sword to cut the Combot's circuits. However, the Combot
was still armed so Sally used her phaser to shoot at the cliff, which made
a rock crush the Combot. Uncle Chuck says he's proud that they used
teamwork. Sally, Antoine, and Sonic agree and say that it was easy.
