Plot
On a stormy night, a pair of evil who appears to be Doom Vercetti and the Evil Twins. Upon discovering the new planet called Planet Dimensions, they plots a plan to send the minions to destroy Malachi.

On an ordinary everyday morning in Tyrusville, Malachi is seen sleeping, and his alarm clock wakes him up. He stops the alarm clock, but it would keep on making the alarm. Annoyed, he pulls the cord off the wall, and it stops for now. He gets up and replugs it in. Seeing that he woke up, his dog, Popkies decides to help, starting by running on Malachi, putting him in the wagon, and throwing him in the bath, after that, he gives him breakfast, brushs his teeth, and gets ready.

While eating at Burger Joe with his friends Purple, Takashi, Jenny, Daniel, Wyatt, and Kally, Malachi imagines that he is going on an adventure on his own, but Kally says Malachi that a little insane to do that. Later that night, Malachi sits on his bed and thinks all about the adventure. Malachi doesn't care what his friends says, he goes on an adventure by himself.

Malachi says that he wants the Worlds Greatest Pool for his birthday, but Pola, his mother says she can't buy it because it costs too much money. Malachi then sits on his bed and thinks about the pool that Maria didn't buy him. When Pola comes into his room, she tells him she will buy the pool. Malachi imagines that he is going on an adventure, as Pola suggests. Malachi thanks her. He tells Purple, Daniel, Linen, Edgar, Dr. Beanson, Ryan, Zaria, Wyatt, Cory, Micheal, Kila, and Elijah to join his adventure. Malachi later meets Lara, a 9-year-old girl who has a doll named Tikiy. Malachi asks Lara for the doll, but she wants it. Lara sends Malachi on a mission to defeat Doom Vercetti, who plots to get revenge on Malachi's ex-girlfirend. Malachi says he doesn't know to do it. Meanwhile, Doom Vercetti's guards arrive to tell her that they saw Malachi, which angers her. The next morning, Malachi pack his stuff and he was ready to go. But, when Planet Dimensions appears out of nowhere, Malachi thinks of someone who is behind this, so he jumps on and goes to Plant Dimensions. She originally planned to send the guards to destroy Mala, but Doom Vercetti comes up with a better idea to trap Malachi's ex-girlfriend and the people from Tyrusville.

Kally tells Purple, Daniel, and Elijah that Malachi goes on adventure again. Kally, Purple, Daniel, and Elijah missed Malachi, so they are gonna find him, but they don't know how they get there. Malachi enjoys taking a long walk, but he falls to a cliff until he was saved by the cyan-haired girl named Lotta. Lotta sends on a mission to defeat Evil Twins, their name is Soiel and Juan, who plots to take over Tyrusville. Malachi says he doesn't know to do it. Meanwhile, Evil Twin's robot minions arrive to tell that they saw Malachi, which angers them. They originally planned to send the minions to destroy Malachi, but Harper comes up with a better idea to take over Tyrusville. Kally, Purple, Daniel, and Elijah want to visit Dr. Beanson's lab. When Kally, Purple, Daniel, and Elijah got to Dr. Beanson's lab, they want to use Teleportation. Kally said can they try it to find Malachi. Dr. Beanson said yes they can. Kally, Purple, Daniel, and Elijah went in the Teleportation to teleport anywhere. When they got in it, they teleported to Planet Dimensions. They said it worked.
