Narrator: Last time on family always wins, sonic was trapped on Space Colony ARK, but  escaped. Soon, Eggman ambushed the hedgehog but he escaped. The devious doc issued an ultimatum: if he wasn't made supreme ruler, he'd pulverize the planet. But when Eggman fired up the Eclipse Cannon, he got a blast from the past. A recording from his grandfather, Professor Robotnik, revealed that he had his own plan to wipe out the world. Can Sonic save the globe from destruction? Or will Robotnik wreak his revenge? Find out the next family always wins!

[Space Colony ARK, hangar.]

Rouge: Topaz, I'm transmitting my report now. Over.
Topaz: Be careful, Rouge. That space colony is a dangerous place.
[Something shakes. Rouge notices something in front of her. Elsewhere, Sonic and Shadow are fighting each other. They ram at each other, causing a massive blast. Among the wreckage, Sonic notices a Ring.]

Sonic:[ in thought] even though I don't need the ring it's better than nothing.

Shadow: please stop! I don't want to fight you!

Sonic: too late for that!

[Shadow jumps and launches a barrage of Chaos Spears at Sonic. Sonic dodges them and grabs the Ring. He then uses Spin Attack to knock out Shadow.]
Sonic: All right, Shadow. What's going on here?
Shadow: You'll find out. [The colony shakes again.] Sonic, the earth's time is running out! [Shadow leaves.]
Sonic: Wait! Huh? [Looks behind to see a timer counting down]
[Tails, Amy, Knuckles Cream and Cheese arrive at the colony's control center.]
Eggman: He tricked me! My own grandfather tricked me!
[The Chaos Emerald pedestal closes.]
Knuckles: The Chaos Emeralds!
[Eggman growls. Gerald Robotnik's video starts to play.]
Gerald: The countdown marking my final revenge has begun! In a few minutes, you will be destroyed! Space Colony ARK will hurdle through the atmosphere and crash into this planet with devastating force! [the video plays on Earth too] You have no time to prevent this disaster and absolutely no hope of survival! You're rulers took my granddaughter, Maria, from me. So I'm destroying everything you care about. Now you'll feel what I felt when I lost Maria! You'll see. You'll see. You'll see! [the video cuts]
Amy: Who is that guy? And what does he mean?
Eggman: That is professor Gerald Robotnik. He was a scientific genius and my grandfather.
[The video starts playing again. The colony trembles.]
Knuckles: Hey, it feels like this place is breaking apart.
Rouge: Soon it's going to get a lot worse. I just checked the colony's propulsion system. The computers are locked, so we can't reverse course. Looks like there's nothing we can do.
[The mood goes sullen.]
Eggman: Grandpa, destroying a planet is one thing, but destroying your grandson is another.
Sonic: What's going on here?
Amy: Sonic!
Eggman: If you came here for a showdown Sonic, forget it. Soon, we'll all be vaporized.
Sonic:  don't be such a pathetic quitter, Eggman. I'm sure you'll figure it out as long you don't get in my way[ leaves].
Amy:[Annoyed] back to the lone wolf mode.
Eggman: [Takes a computer] When I hacked into the database on Prison Island, I found my grandfather's diary.
Tails: [Reads] "Revenge. That is all that matters to me now. When I began my research..."

[Overlaps to Gerald's voice]

Gerald: ...I only wanted to do good. That's why I worked to make the ultimate creature. But the leaders of the project worried that I'd use it to take over the world. So they seized my lab on Space Colony ARK. Then, they took Maria from me, and my life took on a new purpose. Instead of helping people, I would get revenge on them! Night and day I planned, so long after I am gone, my revenge will be complete.
Tails: [Continues] "I've done it. My greatest design is now complete. The Ultimate Creature, Shadow. My enemies, they've defeated me, but Shadow will carry out my orders without question. Now it sleeps, but one day in the future it will be reawakened. Shadow will bring total destruction."

[Earth, president's limo, day.]

President: Do we have any confirmation on this?
Christina: We just received an urgent message from the director of the space agency, Mr. President. Space Colony ARK is moving towards the planet at high speed. The impact will be catastrophic and will cause massive destruction.
President: But if that colony hits us, millions of lives are going to be lost. [Thinks to himself] Good luck, Sonic. Even if you're going to have trouble saving us this time.
