The episode opens up with Rouge manipulating Bokkun on his pendant, making him serve orange juice while she takes a shower. Elsewhere on the ship, Dr. Eggman and his forces come across a group of humans battling the armada of Pale Bay Leaf. The humans are completely overpowered with the Metarex ships, and the attacks are also homed at him too, and as a result, he sends Shadow to take care of them. Shadow then launches himself at the Metarex, destroying their battleships and flipping the table on them, until a Metarex ship comes to one human's ship to attack, but gets quickly destroyed by Shadow. The pilot named Molly looks at Shadow before he leaves, and during that time, the Metarex battleships are fleeing.

After that, Molly contacts Eggman to thank him for his help, while Decoe and Bocoe are whispering about Molly's beauty in which they quickly get pounded by Eggman. On their way to Cascade, Molly explains the events that lead to the planet as it is now, and their continuous efforts to bring it back as it was. Meanwhile, Eggman orders Shadow who is aboard the Crimson Egg to get the Chaos Emerald on this planet without Rouge's interference, however, he gets distracted by her.

Later, at one of the colonies inside Cascade, Shadow is recalling memories from the last major battle against the Metarex until he gets caught in Molly's questions. While he keeps dismissing her, Molly expresses her respect and thanks Shadow for saving her, and remarks his similarity to the Black Wind in which she explains the legend to him. Finally, Shadow declines that and moves away from her and Rouge, much to Rouge's discontent.

Meanwhile, Eggman continues to receive honors following his assistance during the confrontation with Metarex. But unfortunately caught in a vortex of criticism after informing the soldiers that he cannot stay. Molly then arrives in time to calm things down. Molly summons one of the soldiers, Leon, to see if he has found a Chaos Emerald lately. Although he does not know of it at first, he points that recently a precious stone fell on the planet and has been kept in a laboratory, after Rouge explains the case to him. Leon then entrusts Molly a security key so she can bring him a floppy disk. Molly, Shadow and Rouge leave, while Leon remains at the base, unusually anxious after leading her to a trap.

Along the way to the lab, Molly while in her plane is questioned by Rouge about what lead up to the planet being ruined, in which she replies that the planet was rich and powerful until the Metarex's invasion. She then looks at Shadow while he's running alongside their ship and wishes if she could have a similar power to the Metarex to protect her planet. After making it to the lab, Shadow retrieves the Emerald while Molly leaves to recover the disk to Leon. But instead of the disk, she finds a dynamite and it explodes. With his speed, Shadow warps Molly and Rouge to another distant, then Molly wonders to why Leon tried to kill her.

A fleet of Metarex vessels then appear on the scene. Shadow tries to call the doctor after exploring Leon's intention to give Eggman to the Metarex, but without success; all communications are cut. At the soldiers' base, Leon finishes a conversation with one of the Metarex leaders, Pale Bay Leaf. But he is surprised by Eggman who had seen very clearly in the plans of it. Leon has indeed intended to betray him as Shadow and Rouge said, and in exchange to the Metarex, so Pale Bay Leaf would spare the last survivors of Leon's planet.

Leon tries to hold the doctor, who still manages to escape through Decoe and Bocoe, which retrieved it in one of his giant robots. Meanwhile, Molly decided to return to the base, despite warnings from Shadow and Rouge for this useless sacrifice. Shadow however joins the fight. For his part, Eggman gives a lesson to the team of fighters trying to capture it. The fleet of the Metarex have arrived, however instead of lending a hand to Leon and his comrades, they break the contract and decide to abandon them. Molly then arrives aboard her ship and tries to rally her old friends. But they dismiss her and preferr to give up and try to rally the strongest to avoid their death.

Broken, Molly remains aboard her ship while Shadow tries to comfort her. Molly however denies this reality, and rushes toward the flagship before Shadow can counter. Seeing her last smile, Shadow removes the limiters from his wrists and flies through the Metarex's mother ship lasers and destroys the whole fleet while Rouge is observing the scene.

At the end of it all, Shadow and Rouge looks out into the sunset in front of Molly's grave (Japanese version) and Shadow gives the Chaos Emerald to Rouge, showing that he finally trusts her with an Emerald and tells her to give it to Eggman while he walks away. Despite the damage, Pale Bay Leaf survives, and communicates with Eggman.

* AbsenteeActor: Aside from being seen in a flashback, Sonic doesn't appear physically in the episode.
