"We just need to find the Downunda Freedom Fighters, help them find the Thunder Knight, and kick that guy back to the Dark Ages," Sonia said.
"Can you believe we're in the same place that Brady grew up in? It's amazing," Josh said as he marveled at the scenery of Downunda.
"Josh, focus. We have to find the DFF if we're to stand a chance against the Thunder Knight."
"Sorry, Sonia. I just find this place majestic and beautiful."
"Well, snap out of it. We're not going to get anything by standing around," Sonia said before five smoke bombs rolled out of nowhere and shrouded them in fog.
"This is great. We just stepped onto Downunda soil and already get into trouble. Josh," Shade said.
"I'm on it," Josh said before using his aerokinesis to clear the smoke.
"That was impressive. Usually, most people fall unconscious because of the smoke inhalation," a voice said.
"Who's there," Lara asked before Barby and Walt landed on the ground in front of her and the others.
"Just Barby Koala and Walt Wallabe, the leaders of the Downunda Freedom Fighters," Walt said.
"Great. Just the people we were looking for."
"How so?"
"Because we have a major problem on our hands. You need to lead us back to your headquarters," Josh said.
"What kind of problem," Walt asked.
"Just an ancient spirit out to conquer Mobius."
"That does sound like a problem. What do you think, Barby?" Walt then turned to his co-leader and found her concentrating on Josh.
"Are you okay, Barby," Walt asked, getting Barby's attention.
"Sorry about that, Walt. I just feel like I've seen him somewhere before," Barby said as she returned to reality.
"Well, what do you think? Should we lead them back to base or leave them here to die?"
"What's going on? I was miles away when you and the hedgehog were talking."
"Excuse me, but this hedgehog has a name. I'm Josh, son of the mighty Rocket the Hedgehog," Josh said.
"That's how I know you! You look exactly like your father," Barby said.
"Most people say that, so you're not the first to say so."
"So why are you here in the first place," Walt asked.
"They came here to vanquish me," a voice said before Walt, Barby, Josh, Lara, Sonia, and Shade turned around to see the Thunder Knight coming near them.
"Who is that?"
"The Thunder Knight. The ancient spirit that I told you was out to conquer Mobius," Josh said as the Thunder Knight rode up to him and everyone else.
"That is precisely my goal, peasant."
"Wait a second. I am not a peasant. I am the Prince of Sol."
"You're a prince, Josh?"
"Here, no. In my timeline, yes," Josh said.
"You are a peasant outside of your own timeline," the Thunder Knight said
"You take that back right now!"
"Never!"
"All right. You asked for it," Josh said before he ran up and punched the Thunder Knight's helmet. Josh felt pain shoot through his hand after punching the helmet so hard.
"Ow! My hand!"
"You may be the son of Rocket, but you aren't as mighty as he is," Barby remarked.
"No fair! That helmet must be made of lead or something," Josh said as his hand throbbed in pain.
"You are no warrior. You can't even put a dent in my helmet," the Thunder Knight said.
"All right. Now the pain will rain down from the heavens."
"It will, but not from you," Rocket said before he came up at full speed and knocking the Thunder Knight off his horse.
"Now that's might."
"Thanks. You must be Barby."
"I am," Barby said.
"Frost told me about you," Rocket said.
"Where were you, Dad," Josh asked.
"Up in a tree after you kicked me out of the Invisijet."
"You were wrong, Josh. He does remember," Sonia said.
"I didn't say he would remember that. I said 'I hope he won't remember that the Invisijet crashed and got destroyed.'" Josh then clasped his hands over his mouth after realizing what he just said.
"You're lying," Rocket said after learning his greatest creation was destroyed.
"I'm afraid Josh is right. We all saw it crash and explode," Lara said.
"Oh, thanks a lot, 'Su. You couldn't have left that out," Josh said.
"Sorry."
"Do you know how hard it'll be to build another Invisijet?"
"No."
"You're lucky I had another built for cases like this," Rocket said before Josh fell over.
"What the hell, old man?! You let me worry about some damn jet when you had another built in case the original got destroyed?! What is wrong with you," Josh asked.
"He gets like that sometimes," Shade said to Barby and Walt.
"We've figured that," Barby and Walt said.
"Don't you take that tone with me, Josh! I am your father and you will treat me with respect!"
"That's just it! You're not my dad in this timeline!"
"Does it matter when I'm your father," Rocket asked.
"Yes, it does," Josh shouted before bolts of lightning started striking the ground.
"Come on! We gotta go if we want to live," Barby said before running off. Walt, Josh, Rocket, Lara, Sonia, and Shade ran after her while lightning kept striking the ground.
