The film begins after the events of the previous film, with Red Skull breaks into Nobel Key's tomb and shooting a large bolt of lightning into the sky. It then cuts to Madripoor is surrounded by Dr.Eggman's robots and Dark Gaia's Minions with the students being marched through the entrance corridor.

Menlo finds a suit of armour and other equipment made by his father, including mechanical wings, mechanical tentacles. Menlo gets Menken to inject him with venom, from the now destroyed spiders, causing him to transform into a monster.

After burying Lockjaw, T.J. asks the Leader to help him and his friends break into Monica Rappaccini's vault at Gringotts bank, suspecting a Horcrux may be there. The leader agrees in exchange for the Sword.

During the restoration of the sixth Chaos Emerald and continent, it's revealed that Chip is, in fact, Light Gaia, the opposite of Dark Gaia, and he lost his memories because, like Dark Gaia, he was prematurely awakened by Eggman's laser when Eggman started the Time of Awakening, where Chip and Dark Gaia was meant to awaken, too early; likewise, Dark Gaia has not yet been fully reborn due to his premature awakening, and Sonic must stop Eggman before Dark Gaia's full powers return to its normal state.

In the vault, T.J. discovers the Horcrux is Helga Hufflepuff's cup. He retrieves it, but Leader snatches the sword and abandons the gang, leaving them cornered by security. The gang release the dragon guardian and flee on its back. T.J. sees a vision of Red Skull killing the Cabal including the Leader, and learns Red Skull is aware of the theft. Tails also realize there is a Horcrux at  Madripoor where Mag Mel and Red Skull invade it as they place Pillars there.

Chris is surprised to see that he has become more confident, and although Soon says that they don't want his help, calling him a cowardly crybaby, Noah continues helping them. More Chaos Bakugan comes, but the rest of Noah's team, Ben, Jack  Robin, arrive on Pyrus, Aquos, and Ventus Ziperators, respectively.

Soon doesn't believe that they have anything to fight for, after the people they trusted betrayed them, but Ben reassures her and the two girls run off.

The two girls have attacked again, with Soon wanting to be killed, but the other heroes step in and fight. As more spawn from the ground, Noah and the others come to help.

Rafe tells them that their main priority is to protect their friends, and the two girls regain their confidence and join the fight.

At this point, the gang travels to the location of the last temple, over which Eggman has transformed Madripoor into Eggmanland using extraction of Dark Gaia's power.

On the first attempt to get pass them, However, Mai freezes when she comes across some little nightmares, forcing Ray to help her cause both fell off a cliff. They decide to camp out at a shrine, where Mai reveals that, five years ago, she almost killed a rapist and enjoyed it, saying she hasn't changed since that day and doesn't deserve love. Ray responds by apparently kissing her and her accepting it, afterwards, Sonic and Chip came up with a plan and promised Mai that he would protect her.

While Sonic is able to restore the last emerald and defeat Eggman's newest mech. Yomi was already inside. He had terracotta soldiers attack Mai, before her light slashed and killed them. Yomi tricked Mai into beginning the technique with him inside the barrier, allowing Mōryō's spirit to reunite with his body. Eventually, Finn and the others came to the fight and destroyed the remaining army. After Marcus and Keith came to rescue her, she broke into tears saying that all the people who sacrificed their lives were a waste. Mōryō then burst free from Yomi's body to the air and the duo started fighting him. Yomi died and his body fell into the lava.

Razenoid and Kurama continue to fight and Kurama is about to get hit, but Zenthon and Zenthon Titan come to protect Marcus and Kurama. Mag Mel and Razenoid then summon Dreadeonand Razen Titan and they continue to fight. Marcus and Kurama tell them that they should only be fighting them not the innocent, although Mag Mel responds as it is an act of revenge and he doesn't care about nobility.

Dark Gaia becomes complete, by draining the dark energy that Sonic had that turned him into Werehog, knocking Dr. Eggman out of the way to keep the power for itself. Mag Mel begins to taunt Marcus and Ray and he manages to get them to fall down. He tries to get Dreadeon and Razen Titan to kill them but Zenthon and Zenthon Titan defend them. However, the residual energy created from them caused an outburst of energy which not only destroys them but Dark Gaia absorbs it to become bigger and stronger.

Sonic is too weak to move so Chip uses the Gaia Temples to form a body called Gaia Colossus to combat Dark Gaia with, Sonic recovers on the Gaia Colossus and helps Chip fight Dark Gaia.

Marcus, Ray, and Kurama then receive power from the Gate and Key while Razenoid blasts them but no effect. Razenoid then tries to aim at Kurama but he constantly misses. He fires at Razenoid which manages to vaporize him and breaking Razenoid's Gate (which in turn destroys Mag Mel's key).

Marcus burns his Cosmo to reach the mythical Seventh Sense and gains the upper hand and perish Mag Mel, but not before saying that Marcus is still doomed. Mag Mel then dies.

Chip and Sonic hold off the beast, but Dark Gaia manages to drown the planet in darkness, achieving its fully-matured form in the process.

Red Skull announces T.J.'s apparent death to everyone and demands their surrender. They have captured several Bakugan, but Chad convinces them not to keep prisoners and kill them all. Barricade executes Que, and Soundwave moves to kill Radizen next, but Wheelie and Brains have managed to make one of the Hydra's ships crash, thereby distracting Soundwave long enough for Radizen and the other Bakugan to get free. As Mikey gives a defiant response and draws the magic sword, T.J. reveals he is still alive and many members fo A.I.M abandon Red Skull. Radizen overpowers and kills Soundwave. S.H.I.E.L.D. soldiers and US Marines snipe the minions. Two teams roll in and ambush the minions. Golem returns and massacres a large group of minions. He then kills Shockwave and uses its arm cannon to topple over the space bridge's control pillar, deactivating the bridge.

T.J. ends their relationship with Spinelli, she panics, begging T.J. to hold on. T.J. replies that as much as he wants to, he can't. He asks her to think about her future career. Crying, Spinelli kisses T.J. one last time before they split up.

Sonic then transforms into Super Sonic using the seven Chaos Emeralds and takes Perfect Dark Gaia down with the help of Gaia Colossus, Marcus, and Ray.

Golem then confronts Dryoid and the two engage in a ferocious battle of Student vs Master. Kamala stumbles across Warhok outside the main battle zone. Having previously witnessed a violent argument between Dryoid and Warhok, she appeals to his pride and makes him realize that he will never be able to rule over Earth as long as Dryoid is alive. Meanwhile, after a long fight, Dryoid gains the upper hand over Golem and severs his right arm. However, before he prepares to deal the final blow, an infuriated Warhok attacks Dryoid and severely damages him, declaring that Earth is his planet to rule. Warhok realized how far he had fallen in power within the past few years, and has decided to once again take his rightful place claim the Omnitrix.

Mai intending to kill herself and Dark Gaia in order to protect Sonic, Ray stopped her seconds before her death, reminding her that Sonic promised to protect her and tells her that he's always admired her and that she should live as herself even with her dark side. After he inspired her to live, they gave their chakra and emotions to Sonic and Super Sonic Boost to finally seal Dark Gaia to the planet's core again until its next awakening but the battle leaves him too drained of his energy to escape.

Noah sees a vision of Ezekiel inspiring him to fight on and telling him how much he's grown. Chris and Soon then hear Sellon's voice and run towards it. While T.J. confronts Red Skull in a duel throughout the castle, Mike decapitates Nagini, making Red Skull mortal. T.J. and Red Skull's fight ends with Red Skull's own Killing Curse rebounding and obliterating him.

Meanwhile, Chad manages to reactivate the toppled pillar but is attacked by Bruno, who hurls him against the pillar, killing him. Subsequently, Radizen destroys the pillar for good, thus closing Kingdom Hearts. Seeing this, Warhok half-heartedly offers Golem a truce on the condition that he will claim the Omnitrix from T.J., mockingly saying that they would be nothing without each other. Realizing that the offer is less than sincere, Golem refuses and attacks Warhok, decapitating him with a sword. The weakened Dryoid tries to excuse his actions, but Golem, claiming Dryoid "betrayed himself," executes the treacherous Bakugan with Warhok's shotgun.

As the final continent moves back into place, Chip flings Sonic back onto the surface while Chip remains behind. Everyone else returned confused as shimmering dust falls from the sky. They then believe that Sonic and the other three sacrificed themselves but then in a glowing orb with two magic circles surrounding them diagonally, Mai, Marcus, Ray, and Kurama appear. Marcus realizes that Bakugan will never coexist with humans. Marcus bids a tearful farewell to Kurama and all of the humans set their Bakugan free to return in New Vestroia.

T.J. explains to everyone that the Nobel Key recognized him as its true master then he destroys the Nobel Key rather than claim it. Sonic (who is not come back yet), Tails, Knuckles and Amy are honored by Nick Fury and S.H.I.E.L.D. along with the Champions. Nick offers to introduce Team Sonic to the public and having accepted them as heroes, allows them to move in.

Development
The film was developed to fit modern times. Examining the contents of the game disc reveals what some of the regions intended names were before they were swapped for their current names. It seems some of them were named after actual locations on Earth, it was decided to put the continents look similar to the real Earth as a perfect match. This adaptation was mostly faithful to the game's plot, with the Japanese version even being a word-for-word adaptation at some points. However, parts were written in for characters that did not appear in Sonic Unleashed. The film could not be finished in time, so it was split into two. It was originally set to be released as one, but Paramount Pictures divided the film into two parts due to financial and creative reasons.

Release
The movie was released in IMAX and 3D on June 18, 2021. It was originally scheduled to be released on June 7, 2019 but was then moved to the June 2021, in order to coincide with Sonic's 30th anniversary.
