Summary

Sonic's influence on Earth's culture continues to increase. Decoe and Bocoe also enjoy a new sense of freedom. After giving up on Dr. Eggman, they are finally serving their criminal sentence through volunteer work, pruning hedges at Chris's house, a task they find extremely satisfying. Everyone from Chris's parents to Bokkun wears a "Freedom" T-shirt. Eggman, meanwhile, is forced to cook for himself, and is completely inedible.

A shadow is cast over these happy moments when the President's aides arrive at Chris ' house with a geophysicist, who explains to Chuck that this world and Sonic's world were once one is for some reason it split into two different worlds and dimensions and that means each world had a different timeline. The mass arrival of the population of Sonic's world has caused the two worlds to rejoining , once one, and so now the two timelines are also rejoining and if they do nothing the two timelines will interfere with each other and eventually freeze, leaving no past or future where physical death would no longer be possible and this thing they called it : Time stagnation phenomenon. The only way to prevent this from happening, is to send all the inhabitants who arrived en masse from Sonic's world , back to their world , so once again into their dimension, Sonic and others included... so once again they will have to divide the two populations through a Chaos Control induced with Tails ' amazement, but also with Chuck's subsequent explanation in which he states that the government wants to return the world to a time before they arrived on Earth (i.e. with citizens behaving in a normal way in which they do not emulate Sonic's lifestyle since his influence , has had an uncontrollable impact on the Earth's population) .

Chris hears the end of the conversation but has a small emotional breakdown where he thinks they are lying to him , rushes out of the room much to Tails ' amazement where he claims to have never seen him so angry and with Chuck expressing his thoughts on the matter and that is that he understands what Chris is feeling because it is the same thing he is feeling too. Chuck, however, is aware that he is not eternal and that the prospect of living forever would be ideal for his research especially along with Tails but , an empty prospect where there is no future in which he can make use of these research would be meaningless because they would stand still while the entire universe around them would move forward. Sharing this feeling with his scientist friend , Chuck thanks Tails for the good time he spent with him building together . Meanwhile, Chris tries to go to Eggman thinking that the whole situation was created once again because of him . Meanwhile Chris's parents; Chuck and Tails are worried about where their son is with parents thinking of throwing a party with an entire toy store , but Chuck dissuades them by telling them that they have to trust Chris and that actually Chris knows it's the truth, but is still looking for answers on his own (or another solution) . Chris finds Decoe and Bocoe and asks them to take him to Eggman , however, the two do not know where he is but summon Bokkun who is willing to take them in exchange for decent food and oil . Arriving at Eggman , Chris starts asking him questions where at first Eggman pretends not to understand Chris ' suspicions, but eventually scolds him for behaving in a way that is not like him : childish and selfish , pointing out, however, that he thought that Chris was a little tougher since both he and Sonic had always foiled his plans together and making him realize that this time he had nothing to do with all of this. He sends Chris away, forbidding the robots to follow him, who sadly obey .

As Tails and Chuck collect the Chaos Emeralds and build a machine for the return journey, Chris returns home, still unable to accept the truth.

  • Already in episode 39, Eggman predicted that if the inhabitants of their world arrived en masse on Earth, a crisis/attrition/catastrophe would ensue, making us realize that in the end it is not the fault of their presence (Sonic, Eggman and the others )on Earth, but the unbridled arrival of their population.
