At the Mushroom Planet in dawn, a view of the mushroom planet sets a peaceful environment as a mushroom rises up to another mushroom, causing it to tip what appears to be a small rock over. The small rock then bumps into a small mushroom which rolls into another mushroom, which rolls into another mushroom, which bumps into a round rock. the rock then bumps into a line of four rocks which one by one fall into a gear made out of mushroom which after turning makes a round bucket tip releasing water from inside. The water then pours into the bottom of another mushroom tied to a rope making it lower and hit the ground. The water picks up a tiny mushroom which floats downhill into a spoon like contraption made out of mushroom which turns and drops it into another. The spoon like contraption drops with the other end rising and bumping into a line of mushrooms that grows in size until the largest lands on a blower like plant which blows at a large round rock. The rock then rolls and bumps into a cable car like contraption which reveals to be holding something inside. The rock rolls into the background as the cable car contraption is taken downward revealing a cart made out of mushroom. The cable car contraption bumps into a platform shaped rock and opens to allow the cart to roll out revealing a small Sonic-like figure in front of it as the rock rolls in the background. The cart rolls forward as it runs into a column of sticks which fall down making mushroom cups drop berry like fruit into the cart. The cart then bumps into a rock tossing the figure and fruit out and into a juicer like contraption with thorns in it as the rock drops on it crushing the content revealed a classic Eggman Empire logo painted on it. The content is then turned into liquid and pours into a cup which is picked up by Dr. Robotnik.

"Doctor's log. It is day 243 in this... portabello purgatory..." Dr. Robotnik described as he sat on a chair in front of his Eggpod, looking at his environment. He then looks down as he holds up Sonic's quill and proceeds to stir his drink with it. "My only companion is a rock I named Stone."

Robotnik looks to the rock. He then looks away, tapping the quill to his cup to dry it off.

"The question is... for whom am I narrating this?" Dr. Robotnik continued before he sticks his tongue out and puts it to the quill, causing it to electrocute him.

As time went by, Robotnik pulled parts out of the engine of his Eggpod.

"It seems I have become a feature player in the theater of the absurd." Dr. Robotnik continued. "Marooned in deep space by that wretched blue rodent. But it is all good thanks to a breathable atmosphere and my supreme intellect, sharpened against the only competitor savvy enough to br-r-r-r-ring it."

He also played chess with mushrooms as the pieces. He takes a mushroom and places it forward.

"Chanterelle to D4." Dr. Robotnik said.

He turns to reveal a rock mirror, that revealed that Robotnik is playing against himself.

"Hmm?" Dr. Robotnik questioned.

Later, Robotnik lifts a cup in his hand.

"I have been striving to make fungi into a functional drink of choice..." Dr. Robotnik narrated as he lifts the cup to his nose and he sniffs it. "Mushroom coffee."

Robotnik sips the mushroom juices only to spit it out afterwards. Robotnik tries another batch, only to spit it out as well.

With many attempts, he kept processing more tests as the round rock squeezed more mushrooms. Robotnik tries out three more cups of mushroom juices, but spits each of them out in disgust. Robotnik picks up another cup of mushroom juices. Robotnik tries out the cup of mushroom juices, but spits it out in disgust. Robotnik tried out a cup of mushroom juices, but slowly spits it out in disgust.

"With limited..." Dr. Robotnik continued. "Limited...limited...success."

Later on, Robotnik picked rope-like wires out of the Eggpod and walks forward.

"But today, day 243 has brought a new optimism to my most pressing endeavor." Dr. Robotnik said.

He looked at a large mushroom with rods and a pole, making it look like a radio tower or a sattelite transciever.

"Planetus exodus to returnecus and kick blue buttecus!" Dr. Robotnik announced as he climbs up the mushroom to a monitor screen placed on top of the mushroom tower and proceeds to press a few buttons on the instrument board. "If my calculations are correct, and there is no reason to say this, because they always are..."
Robotnik lifts a jumper cable with Sonic's quill in its pincers.

"This quill... is going to power my masterpiece." Robotnik smirked as he lifts another jumper cable in his other hand. "Lets light this candle... and see who comes a-knocking."

Robotnik clamps the jumper cable on the quill and energizes the power cable, which bolts with blue chaos energy. The tower subsequently creates a shockwave, sweeping a screaming Robotnik off his feet and onto the ground. That caused a shot of outer space as a shockwave of chaos energy generated a stream of light stretching through space before dissipating.

OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

At nighttime on the Mushroom Planet, Robotnik lies where he fell, unsuspecting the Ring portal that appeared in front of him. Soon after, a trio of humanoid alien scavengers wearing chicken skulls for helmets and holding spears walk out from the Ring portal and scout the area. The head of the trio looked at Robotnik tilting its head in curiosity. It proceeds to bend down and move its spear towards the seemingly sleeping Robotnik. It then gently presses the side of his spear on his shirt, before it looked at the quill in his hand. Before he can bend down and take it from his hand however, Robotnik's eyes bolt open.

"Greetings!" Dr. Robotnik said.

The scavenger backs away as Robotnik uses his other hand and pulls a tarp of grass, revealing his trap. Suddenly, a giant mushroom slams down, causing the mushrooms around it to spin rapidly, alarming the scavengers. Suddenly, the lead scavenger unexpectedly steps into a rope trap, catapulting him screaming into the distance.

"Klatuu Barata Nikto!" Dr. Robotnik exclaimed.

The other scavenger looks to Robotnik, who kicks a mushroom, resulting in a giant mushroom stem to slam into the second scavenger, sending him flying away, thus leaving the last scavenger to open its spear to reveal red blades. The scavenger proceeds to swing them around to intimidate Robotnik, only for Robotnik to use his Robotnik Control Glove to make a call.

"Agent Stone? Now." Dr. Robotnik said.

The Eggpod engines burn a rope that is connected to a catapult that holds 'Stone', sending said rock flying and hit the scavenger in the face, making him fall on his back. Robotnik gets up while looking at the Ring portal.

"Thank you Stone!" Dr. Robotnik inhaled. "It's time to say goodbye to this..piece of shiitake planet!"

Robotnik licks the quill, electrocuting himself again before making a beeline for the Ring portal in slow motion. However, he stops at the sight of a silhouette. Robotnik gasps as he stops in his tracks falling on his back as the creature's hand, encased in a massive white boxing like glove with twin spikes. In a close up of his face, the creature reveals himself to be an anthropomorphic echidna marching right up to him with his eyes glowing red. the echidna walks up to Robotnik before he notices the quill in his palm.

"Where did you get that?" The red echidna asked.

Robotnik looks to the quill in his hand and swiftly lifts it in between their faces.

"From a little blue menace on the planet called Earth." Dr. Robotnik replied as the red echidna looks at Robotnik, sternly. "I'd be happy to show you the way."
