They use a robot disguise to blend in with the local inhabitants and Maeko successfully procures it without being caught, but the escort he stole it from soon realize it is missing and spread out their forces to find it. Before escaping and decrypting it however, they defy the instructions of her resistance compatriot on their communicator and instead pursues an organic citizen being hunted down by one of the city's troopers and rescues them first. Soon after, the city's patrolling forces track them down to retrieve the stolen infobot and they retreat.

Meanwhile in Queen Poppy and Kirby's dimension, the Festival of Heroes is being held in Dreamtropolis on Planet Popstar to celebrate the duo's many achievements in heroism, although they remark it has been years since they last did anything heroic, Mei still miss her mom and Miriam, is ok that she can remembered her mom and Poppy hold Mei's hand and the whole team entered. The festival is hosted by Queen Lavander (Poppy's Mother), Mr. Wolf, Cloud Guy, Funky Family (King Quincy and Queen Essence) and Rusty Pete. Queen Lavander also announces that Trollex has a gift to present to Mei at the front of the parade route and the team begin heading towards it. The celebration is interrupted however by the recently rebranded Goons-4-Less as a bounty has been put on their heads. After breaking through the attacking goons, they reach the front float, where Trollex reveals that he has recreate a replica of the Dimensionator from the ending of their last galactic adventure he presents it to Mei Lee, so she can travel the dimensions and find her secret big brother (Yin Mako Lee).

After Mei does her speech however, the device is stolen by Masked Mei Lee, with her Masked Besties in her new Party Crasher ship, who hired the Goons in place of her assistants. After the Poppy, Kirby, Mei, Her Besties, and the Team chasing them through the city and catching back up to them at the train station, Masked Mei confronts the team and attempts to use the Dimensionator against them, but Mei goes panda and impulsively throws a rock at the Phase Quartz power core, causing a large explosion that sends Masked Mei, and her Masked Besties and their ship hurtling into a nearby building and causes mass dimensional chaos to begin occurring across the universe. After taking a piece of the chipped phase quartz that landed near Mei's hand, Poppy uses it to pull the team towards the rifts now appearing and yank open gaps in the damaged dimension as part of a new makeshift gadget known as the Rift Tether.

Upon catching back up to Masked Mei, Poppy, Kirby, Mei, Her Besties, and the Team fight them in her ship and eventually defeat her. Masked Mei is now sick of frequently being defeated over the years, puts their true plan into motion with the Dimensionator and uses the device to bring the 22 of them to a dimension where the Green Big Heads always wins. After arriving on a rooftop in a neon lit, rainy city, the Dimensionator finally goes critical from being damaged and explodes. Mei's Besties and the half of the Team awakes in another part of the city and finds the Masked 5 Green Big Heads have won. Maeko and his group drop down behind them and after seeing the dimensional chaos happening and hearing them admit fault to it, Maeko: Takes Branch, Gil, and Holy Darnin with him, Mark: Takes Miriam, Barb, and Val with him, Priyo: Takes Priya, Trollzart, Dante, and Synth with him Andy: Takes Abby Trollex, and Minuet with him and Taylor: Takes Tyler, Lugina with her to against their will. Masked Mei and her Masked Besties awaken in a throne room and is mistaken for being their counterparts in this dimension; known as Emperor Meilin, Commander Miriam, Commander Priya, Commander Abby, Commander Tyler. The Emperor's Assistant remarks they have returned early from their conquest and the Green Big Heads ecstatically takes their places on the throne.

Queen Poppy, Molly, Kirby and Mei finally awaken and finds a wanted poster of Maeko, wondering where they could be. They soon find there in a place named Meilin City on a dimensional counterpart of Earth. They meet Ms. Zurkon; a counterpart of Mrs. Zurkon, who is an ally of the Resistance force against the evil tyrannical Emperor Meilin and her Empire, who rule the entire known galaxy in this dimension. Ms. Zurkon offers to sell them weapons but suddenly, Maeko and his group runs past them with their team including Branch (Poppy's Husband.) on their sides and escapes in their ships. Ms. Zurkon informs the 4 that only royal starships can leave the planet without being shot down and to find one he must look for a Resistance member known as the Phantom at Club Meilin.

The Phantom is revealed to be a counterpart of Skidd McMarx and has his cover blown at the Club, before being pursued by the Empire's robotic enforcers; the MeilinTroopers. The 4 chases after Phantom and defends him from the attacking troopers. Recognizing Mei has a Red Panda Spirit like Maeko, Phantom gives the 3 except Kirby with Resistance tech and gives the 3-gadget known as the Phantom Dash, allowing the 3 to run along wall panels, become intangible for a short period to pass through checkpoint barriers and avoid enemy attacks. Phantom informs Ratchet that Maeko always goes to his base on the planet Sargasso after his missions.

He makes with the 4 a deal and agrees to help them get a royal starship to leave the planet and pursue Maeko Branch, Gil, and Holy Darnin, if he helps them with hacking a propaganda blimp at the Meilin Day Spa. Queen Poppy, Molly, Kirby and Mei agrees and provides cover for Phantom from the Troopers, so he can program a message into the blimp for the downtrodden citizens of the city. Phantom then gives Queen Poppy, Molly, Kirby and Mei a hacking program named Glitch, so he can use the Emperor's private shuttle to get into Meilin Tower and steal 2 royal starships. Suddenly however, Phantom gives himself up to the Meilin Troopers to try and fight the Empire's corruption from the inside out.

Glitch initially was unhappy upon first meeting Queen Poppy, Molly, Kirby and Mei and finding that she had been handed off to someone she was unfamiliar with. Queen Poppy, Molly, Kirby and Mei introduced themselves and asked her for her help in the dour situation they were in, she hesitated at first but decided to assist in hacking the access console in Meilin Plaza. Glitch enters the shuttle's access console and assumes she will simply need to delete some old files but soon discovers Zeta Virus infections overtaking the system and rendering them inoperable. She at first panics that she does not have the training to handle viruses of this caliber, but she cautiously utilizes her Electro-Guns and Blitz-Infectors to eventually clear out the infection, much to even her own surprise. After deleting the viruses and destroying the virus nest pods sucking energy from the machine, the host computer came back online, allowing Queen Poppy, Molly, Kirby and Mei access to the office of Emperor Meilin and they show that Masked Mei has death traps, henchmen, warbots with UberDuck voices, 5 planet-destroying cannons, and that blasted Dimensionator. that caused them to attack her behind and the Emperor's Assistant summoned her warbots to take care of them and they take the 2 royal starships and left the planet, causing her to make a bounty.

On the way to Sargasso, Branch attempts to explain what is happening to Maeko and Maya, but they refuse to believe their story. A distress call then appears on her ship's computer from her friends who live on the planet, the Morts. A Meilin Seekerpede sent to search the planet suddenly clips her ship and sends it crashing to the ground, forcing them to make their way to the Morts' Gelatonium factory using other means. On the way, Maeko and Maya runs into Ms. Zurkon who informs the 2 Panda Spirits that they have added Poppy's vendor account to Maeko and Maya's so the 3 now share purchases. They refer to Poppy only as their "mutual friend on Meilin City", leaving Maeko and Maya confused. To cross the planet's acid swamps however, they will need to ride on the back of a Speetle and attempt to track one down. Gil also attempts to contact Molly with his communicator but finds that it has also been broken.
