Eggman Unplugged

"Eggman unplugged?" Tails read the title of the episode.

"What does that mean?" Amy asked.

Sonic snickered and decided to tease the human. "Probably means that Eggy is a robot, and he's unplugging himself due to his failure as a robot."

"I am not a robot!" Eggman hissed in annoyance.

"You sure?"

"I will blast you until you're nothing but dust!"

"Yep he's a robot, everyone! Even think like one!"

"Why you little-"

Theo clapped his hands, gaining the attention of the audience. "Alright, the show's about to start!"

Knuckles sleeping in a beach chair. Sonic, Tails, Amy and Sticks are walking up to him.

 Sonic, in particular, is sneaking.

"This is gonna be sweet." Sonic chuckled.

Knuckles raised a brow. "What are you-"

Giggling, Sonic sprays whipped cream in Knuckles' hand.

"...Really?" The echidna rolled his eyes.

Sonic snickered. "C'mon, Knux it's fun!"

"Sonic, your idea of fun is annoying to me."

"Well what's your idea of fun."

"Guarding the Master Emerald."

"You're boring."

"And you're a pain in my butt."

"Mine too." Eggman grumbled.

Amy sighed. "You guys are so immature."

The pinkette crossed her arms. "You're reading my mind, girl."

Tails grinned. "I love practical jokes. But wouldn't tricking him into cleaning the bathroom be more practical?"

"No, because that's disgusting." Knuckles stated.

Sticks giggles and tickles Knuckles with a feather. Knuckles rubs his head with his hand, his head now covered with whipped cream. The rest of the gang watches Knuckles and all laugh.

"Real mature, guys."

"C'mon, Knux, give us a smile."

"No."

Little did the gang know there was a spy bot observing the whole thing.

The scene changes to Eggman is in his HQ room, walking Fly Bot's video recording with Orbot and Cubot.

Cubot watches the event with Sonic and Friends on the screen. "Oh, I love this show. Hey, who's that blue guy? He looks just like Sonic."

"That's because... it is Sonic." Tails was perplexed on why Cubot, for some reason, didn't recognize Sonic.

"Did he suddenly forget who my twin is?" Sonic asked.

"If he did, I wouldn't blame him." Eggman said.

Eggman glared at Cubot. "I'm spying on Sonic with my Fly Bot, bolthead."

Orbot glanced at him in confusion. "But he's not doing anything."

"Eventually he will and then I'll learn something I can use. I just have to keep watching. And watching. And watching."

"Creepy." Carol retorted.

"I'm a villain. It's my job to spy on heroes." Eggman stated.

Cubot sprays whipped cream in Orbot's hand, causing the latter to glance at him. "I believe the subject needs to be asleep for this particular prank to work."

Eggman turned to him. "See? You've learned something from watching."

"Though he's not wrong, it's still kinda creepy." 

Cubot grabs Orbot's hand and moves it into his face, smearing it in whipped cream.

Back on the beach, Knuckles groaned, stretched and yawned. He grinned. "Oh, man, I taste great!"

Sonic grinned. "OK, he's up. Who are we gonna prank next?"

Amy taps Sonic's arms and looks to the side. The group spots the Fly Bot, who tries to hide behind a palm tree.

Sonic nodded slowly and spoke. "Know what, let's head to the canyon and hang out under that giant boulder on the cliff." He said with a smirk."

Eggman sighed, facepalming himself. It wouldn't be a surprise if his twin fell for this crap.

Amy frowned, though she couldn't but slip out a smirk. "I don't know. That boulder's ready to fall.

"If we're under it we'll be crushed!" Tails added.

"Then my delicious whipped cream filling will shoot out like toothpaste." Knuckles grinned, pumping his fist. "I'm in!"

Eggman paused the video and smirked. "I knew if I was patient this would pay off. I love technology. Let's go push a boulder onto that loathsome blue rat.
"

He turned to Orbot and Cubot who were both covered in whipped cream. Orbot glanced at Eggman sheepishly. "We'll need a second."

Sonic smirked. "Take your time." He chuckled. "This should be good."

The scene changes to Eggman, Orbot and Cubot flying through the canyon in the Eggmobile. Eggman is checking his video surveillance on his console. The video fee shows Team Sonic standing in the canyon, below the boulder.

Eggman evilly snickered. "That's right, stand there like fools. Because that's what fools do. They stand."

Cubot glanced at Eggman. "You're standing."

The evil doctor glared at him. "Quiet, fool."

"His starting to act like you, Knuck-"

"Do you want to get punched again, Sonic?"

"...No?"

"Then zip it."

Eggman and his robots flew up to the boulder, and the human hopped off his mobile and walked over it with a smirk. "Once I push this boulder over the cliff, I'll be rid of Sonic once and for all."

"You really think a boulder could stop me, Eggy?"

"Honestly, no. Even I'm not that stupid to come up with a plan like that."

Eggman tries pushing the boulder. He grunts and groans, but the boulder is not moving an inch. "Oh, for crying out loud." He turned to Orbot and Cubot and glared. "Don't just float there, help me."

Orbot and Cubot went and helped Eggman push the boulder, but the boulder is not moving.
Eggman growls. He then walks over to his Eggmobile, and types something into its console. The Eggmobile starts flying and begins firing an energy blaster in-between Orbot and Cubot, pushing the boulder over the edge. The boulder falls down. Eggman let out a chuckle.

The boulder falls onto a seesaw and propels a half-barrel of whipped cream up in the air. It lands upside-down on Eggman, covering him with whipper cream. Team Sonic pops out from behind a boulder and bursts with laughter. Knuckles still has whipped cream on his face.

"Oh, you look so dumb!" Knuckles wheezed.

Amy could help but giggle. "You should see your face, Eggman! Oh wait, you can!"

Most of the audience chuckled, while Eggman growled in annoyance.

Eggman stared at them, completely flabbergasted. "But... You're down there."

Sonic smirked. "We saw your Fly Bot watching us, so we fed it a little... Misinformation."
Eggman growled.

Tails was impressed by the word Sonic just used. "Wow, that's a big word... even for you, Sonic."

The blue blur grinned. "Thanks, buddy."

Tails added his own remark. "Then I jammed its signal with a video loop of us at the bottom of the canyon.

Milla smiled. "That's impressive, Tails!"

"Aww, it was nothing, Milla."

"I told you technology couldn't be trusted." Sticks said. She then frowned. "No, wait, I told them. But if you were spying on us you probably heard me. Of course, if you heard me by using technology, you couldn't trust the information that technology can't be trusted. So there!"

Lilac blinked. "She's... not completely wrong."

Carol crossed her arms with a smirk. "Still, if he's going to get of them, he's need to do better."

"Don't give him any ideas." Knuckles hissed.

"I wasn't."

Eggman growled and kicked his Eggmobile away. However, the Eggmobile comes back and knocks Eggman down. The human lets out a grunt and fall to the ground."The crazy one's right. Machines can't be trusted. That's it, I'm unplugging everything." Eggman announced.

"Wait what?" Sonic was surprised.

"He's not really gonna do that is he?" Silver asked.

"Seems like it." Blaze confirmed.

Shadow scoffed. "Don't get your hopes up. Just wait until the end, Eggman will be back to his boring life again."

"Your life is boring too! You mostly just spend your time alone!"

"True. But at least I have people who I tolerate."

Sonic smiled. "Aww, Shads, you-"

"Except for you."

The smile was gone. "Aww."

Orbot grew worried. "Including us?"

Eggman shook his head. "You don't count. You're like... One step above a paperweight."

"Well, at least he's not getting rid of them." Torque stated.

The scene changes Sonic and his friends eating at Meh Burger. Amy frowned. "I'm worried about Eggman. He didn't take that very well."

Cory shook her head. "No he didn't. That's why he's getting rid of his machines."

"It can't be that bad. Could it?" Sonic questioned himself.

Sonic grinned. "I'm sure he's fine. He just..."

"Hyah!"

The gang turned around to see Orbot and Cubot hauling Eggman's Eggmobile.

"It got bad."

"Whoa!" Eggman yelled. He gets out of his Eggmobile, leaving an exhausted Orbot and Cubot behind him, and walks up to the shopkeeper's shop. Eggman picks up a bowl in the shop. "Fascinating! And what might this thing be?"

Vector blinked. "Uhh... that's a bowl."

Espio shook his head. "He's losing himself."

Charmy laughed. "I guess getting pranked took a toll on Eggman!"

"That's a bowl." The shopkeeper said, unamused.

"Ah, yes, a bowl. How does it work?" The human asked.

"Did his IQ drop that quickly?" Tails asked.

"If it did, then he's going back to the time when cavemen started experiencing life." Amy stated.

Sonic snickered. "Eggman living as a caveman? This seems to be my favorite episode so far."

Eggman growled. "Just you wait, rodent. You won't be laughing once there's an episode that'll make you look like a fool."

The speedster flinched, knowing that the human is right.

"You put things in it and stir them.. " The shopkeeper pulls out a spoon. "With a spoon."
"A spoon! Marvelous! Is that controlled by a laser-guided spoonalyser, or perhaps a hydraulic stirillator?" Eggman asked.

"You hold it in your hand." The shopkeeper said, handing Eggman a spoon.

Eggman grin. "Wonderful! I'll take it. You see, I've sworn off technology. Now, what do you have in the way of a manual weapon for destroying blue hedgehogs?"

"We don't get much call for that, what with Sonic being beloved and all. But you can't go wrong with a rolling pin or a frying pan." The shopkeeper chuckled. "They're classics."
"I'll take 50 of each."

"A frying pan? What shall I ever do?" Sonic faked a dramatic tone.

"Shall I have them delivered to your lair?" The shopkeeper asked.

Eggman shook his head. "No, no, no, no, no. I've abandoned my lair. Technology!"

Unknown to him, while the doctor was speaking, Chameleon was listening in on the whole thing. He smirked and pulled a meeting with the rest of the Lighting Bolt Society.

Spade groaned. "Not these clowns again!"

Shadow sighed in annoyance. "Don't they have something better to do?"

"I called this emergency meeting of the Lightning Bolt Society to report that Dr. Eggman has deserted his lair." Chameleon informed.

"Not for long."

"Shall we take it over?" Weasel Bandit asked.

Eggman scoffed. "You too don't look like the type to learn technology. Especially mine."

"Better than having meetings here." Dave pointed out. The Lightning Bolts poked their heads outside a garbage bin they were meeting in. They climbed out and headed to Eggman's lair. When they walked in, their eyes widened.

"Look at this place!" Willy examined. "The answer to all our problems. An evil lair full of, uh... doodads. And whatnots. Dibs on the gewgaw."

Sonic chuckled. "Doodads? Whatnots? Gewgaw? That's hilarious! I feel sorry for your machine, Eggy!"

Eggman could only growl.

Willy starts touching the touchpad on the desk. Dave picks up a remote and starts pressing its buttons, turning on some disco lightning. Dave and the Weasel Bandit then start fighting over the remote. While pushing the remote's buttons, a Crab Bot comes online. A laser turrets then fires at the table, momentarily halting Dave and the Weasel Bandit.

However, they quickly start fighting over the remote again. Their fighting and accidental pressing of the remote's buttons causes the lair's missile silo to open and close several times.


"Oh, yeah. I could totally wreak havoc like this." Will said with a relaxed smile, and he fell asleep in Eggman's chair.

"Hmm, come to think of it, I don't know what it's like in your chair. Eggy, you think maybe I could-"

"Absolutely not, rodent. I don't your chili smell over my stuff."

The scene changes outside of Sonic's Shack, where the blue hedgehog is shown sleeping in his beach chair. He was having a relaxing time when suddenly..."Sonic the Hedgehog!"

Sonic wakes up and sees Eggman standing with a smirk on his face. "Prepare for a technology-free battle for the ages."

"Serious?" Sonic asked.

"Does this look serious to you?" Eggman asked, pulling out a handmade catapult.

"No." Sonic said, flatly.

Lilac raised a brow. "That thing is supposed to scare him?"

Carol furrowed her eyebrows. "Obviously not."

Milla shrugged. "At least he's trying?"

"Yes, he's trying." Neera said. "Trying to make a fool of himself."

"Perhaps a hand-knit mohair net will change your mind." Eggman said. The doctor grabs the net and flings it at Sonic with his handheld catapult. Sonic dodges it easily.

"Yeah... nope." Sonic said, bored.

Gong rolled his eyes. "He's not even trying."

Eggman scratched his chin. "Hmm. Perchance these exquisitely crafted beeswax candle bombs..."

"Is this a battle or a craft fair?" Sonic asked, frowning.

"If it's a battle; Eggman loses poorly." Knuckles said. "If it's a craft fair; he wins... barely."

"The two aren't mutually exclusive." Eggman said, dropping the candle bombs. "I'll get the hang of this. And when I do, you're not gonna know what hit you. Hyah!"

Orbot and Cubot begin dragging Eggman and his Eggmobile away. Eggman looks back at Sonic briefly and grunts.

The scene changes back to Eggman's Lair, where the Lightning Bolts are in the HQ room. Dave and the Weasel Bandit are still fighting over the remote.

"Give me the controller." Dave demanded.

"You lost the last level. It's my turn." Wally said as he and Dave still fought over the controller.

The scene changes to the Village Center, where Octopus Bot rampages through everything."

"These guys are gonna get someone hurt by accident!" Torque points.

"Can't Sonic and the others do something?" Milla wondered.

Cory shook her head. "They'll mess up eventually."

The scene changes to where Octopus Bot is rampaging through the Village Center. It begins attacking the villagers making them shriek and run away in fear. Octopus Bot gets one of its tentacles stuck in-between two rocks. It tries to pull itself free but fails.

Lady Walrus screams in frights and runs away. Sonic and the gang quickly arrived on the scene.

Sonic raised his eyes at the chaos in front of them. "Woah. What in the world is going on with that thing?" He glanced at Octopus Bot, which was still trying to free itself. Once it got its tentacles freed, it turned to the team.

"I got this." Knuckles declared.

The red echidna rolled his eyes. "Sure you do."

Knuckles lunges towards Octopus Bot, only to get knocked back.

"Nice job, other me."

"Has Eggman gone back to his old tricks?' Amy asked.

The pinkette shook her head. "Surprisingly no."

The scene changes to Eggman washing his clothes in a nearby lake. He grunted in annoyance. "You'd think someone would have invented an easier way to do this by now."

"Yes. It's called a 'washing-machine', you dingus." Eggman retorted. He had to agree with Tails, his twin's IQ has dropped without a doubt. Well, technically, his IQ dropped since the beginning of the episode. So let's just say he's Knuckles' twin level of stupidity.

The scene changes back to Eggman's Lair. Chameleon and Dave are fumbling with the controls in the HQ room, thinking they are playing a video game.

"Turn it up. I can't hear anything." Chameleon said.

"This looks like the volume control." Dave presses the control panel.

A missile is launched from the lair's missile silo and flies towards Seaside Island, eventually reaching the Village Center.

Sonic and his friends looked up to watch a missile flying over their head. The missile flies back towards Team Sonic, who manage to dodge it. The missile lands and explodes outside the village.

Sonic glanced at his friends.  "You stay here and deal with Octopus Bot. I'll find out what's going on."

The scene changes to an old shack in the woods. Eggman is inside the shack with Orbot and Cubot churning butter, with only a candle to provide him with light. The doctor frowned. "I need more light to churn this butter."

Orbot turns on his ocular flashlights. Eggman glared at him. "I told you no technology." Orbot turned off his flashlight.

Eggman facepalmed. "Just kill me now."

Back at Eggman's lair. The Lightning Bolts have gathered around Willy, who is pressing the remote. "Hey, I'm ordering up some pizzas. Who's in?" Every member raised their hands. Willy continues to press the remote, accidentally sending a swarm of to Seaside Island in the process.

Sonic is shown running through the canyon until he sees a red-hot glowing crater with the Gogoba Chief next to it, his leg caught under a rock.

Amy cringed. "Ouch."

"He's fine." Shadow said with no remorse.

Sonic frowned at him. "His leg is crushed under a rock. He could be hurt."

"That sounds like his problem not mine. Plus it might save us the trouble from ever seeing him and those annoying Gogobas."

Tails flinched. "Isn't that a little harsh?"

"No." Spade called out.

Lilac sighed. "C'mon, Spade. Just give them a chance."

"No."

Sonic runs over to the fallen Gogoba. "Are you OK?"

"Never better. I can't imagine anywhere I'd rather spend my vacation than crushed underneath a giant boulder." The chief responded.

Sonic spots a swarm of Bee Bots approaching. "Bee Bots? Oh, come on!" He dodges the Bee Bots, accidentally landing on the boulder, crushing the Gogoba leader's leg.

"Hey!" The chief yelled.

"Sorry." Sonic quickly apologized. He runs after the Bee Bots, leaving the chief behind.
The Gogoba Leader sighed. "Don't worry about me. I'll just chew off my leg. Which works out well because I haven't had anything to eat in a while."

"You could always shout for help."

"And risk another guilt tripping? Pass. He's better after as he is."

"That's cold, Eggy."

The scene changes back to Tails, Knuckles, Amy and Sticks who are all fighting Octopus Bot. Suddenly, they see a Crab Bot walk into a Moto Bug, which malfunctions and begins firing lasers everywhere, shooting down random Bee Bots and Fly Bots in the process. Wild Cat and Wolfie then run away from their seats at Meh Burger when a swarm of Bee Bots come flying. Sonic runs back to the scene, observing the chaos unfold.

The blue blur sighed. "Oh, that's it."

Eggman is shown plowing a field with his Eggmobile, which he has Orbot and Cubot drag around. Sonic arrives.

"Eggman! You've got to stop this crazy plan of yours right now." Sonic demanded.


"Sorry English, but if I don't plan this sorghum now, there'll be no sorghum cakes come winter." Eggman retorted.

"Now he's acting like a farmer." Knuckles said.

Sonic frowned. "Are you telling me you're not behind these attacks?"

"I know not of what you speak." Eggman said.

"Allow me to access Dr Eggman's computer." Orbot said. He accesses Eggman's computer wirelessly and gasped. "It appears that someone has taken over the lair. Accessing." Another pause. "It's the Lightning Bolt Society."

"Those losers?" Sonic groaned. "No wonder the attacks have been so random. Look! They let Cowbot out."

They watched as Cowbot moaned, and then got destroyed by a missile. Sonic turned to the doctor. "Egghead, you've got to help me fight them."

"Here, take my frying pan catapult." Eggman tosses his frying pan at Sonic. 

"Thanks for the help, Egghead."

"Don't mention it."

"I was being sarcastic."

"I know. Which is why is said 'don't mention it'."

"We're burning daylight! Hyah!"

Sonic groans. He then throws the frying pan catapult away and runs off while Eggman resumes plowing his field. Suddenly though, Cowbot's head lands behind Eggman and moos. After looking back at Cowbot, Eggman chooses to ignore it.

Dave glanced curiously at a button. "I wonder what these do?" He presses the button.

Orbot and Cubot continued to pull their master. Suddenly, they powered down.

Milla grew worried. "What happened?"

"I think they shut down." Tails answered.

"Are they gonna be okay?" Torque asked.

"Not unless Eggman turns them back on."

"Which he probably will." Eggman muttered. He already knew that this show wouldn't leave out those two robots. After all, if a person like Eggman was on the show, should they be in too?

Eggman raised a brow. "Hyah! Uh, hello? I said, "Hyah!" Orbot? Cubot? Wake up! You've got to wake up. I-I'm all alone. You Lightning Dolts have left me no choice. Time to get my tech on.

"Told ya it would last that long." Shadow points out.

Eggman tries to turn on his Eggmobile, but it will not start. He groans. "Seriously?" Eggman tries to turn on his Eggmobile again. This time it starts, and Eggman hauls Orbot, Cubot and his plow into the air.

The scene changes outside of Eggman's Lair

The lair's laser turrets are firing everywhere as Eggman approaches his lair. Meanwhile, Team Sonic is trying to reach the lair's entrance. However, Tails and Amy pull back when a laser almost hits them. A Motobug then approaches them, but is shot by a laser. Meanwhile, Sonic is fighting a Bee Bot and Motobug until they are shot down by lasers too.

Sonic frowned. "There is no way to tell what they're shooting at. This is ridiculous." He dodges a laser that shoots a stray Bee Bot down. Team Sonic's other members seek cover behind the cliffs. Sticks tries to take out a Motobug, but laser does it for her. Sonic then joins his friends behind the cliffs. There, Team Sonic encounter Eggman.

"Eggman, how do we get into the lair?" Amy asked.

"Under this rock is a tunnel that leads to the back door." As Eggman explains, a Fly Bot is watching them.

Inside Eggman's Lair, The Lightning Bolts are watching Fly Bot's video feedback.

"We'll sneak in and take them by surprise." Eggman said.

"He doesn't know we're watching." Dave chuckled, watching the recording. "Looks like someone's not as smart as we are."

Eggman scoffed. "You? Smarter than me? The moment that happens, is when the world blows up."

Amy gave the doctor a pointed look. "Which you almost destroyed."

"And I take full credit."

"Who's that?" Weasel Bandit asked in confusion.

"Tell us later. To the back door!" Willy cheered. The Lightning Bolts grab their Disintegrator Rays and run to the back door. 

Chameleon smirked as they took aim at the door. "When they come in, someone's gonna be very surprised."

"Yeah. You."

The Lightning Bolts turn around to see Sonic and Eggman standing behind them.

"Not so smart now, are you?"

Eggman grinned. "We knew you were watching so we gave you false information. It's a strategy I came up with myself. Without help."

Sonic groaned. "Oh, boy."

"Yeah, you seem very smart, Eggface."

"Don't test me you blue rat."

"Not so fast! We've got the weapons." Dave hissed.

Eggman presses his wrist controller. The Disintegrator Rays the Lightning Bolts have armed themselves with fall apart.

"Well, it was fun taking over your lair, but we've got to run." Willy said nervously. He and the gang ran off.

"And don't come back." Spade groused.

Shadow sighed. "Something tells me that won't happen."

Eggman is accessing his lair's system in his laboratory, which is a mess. "Its going to take weeks to get all my defense systems reprogrammed. No attacking 'till then, got it?" He told Sonic.

Sonic groans. "Yeah, sure." 

Eggman walks over to the panel with the red and yellow buttons and presses them. Orbot and Cubot reactive.

Milla perked up. "They're back!"

Tails nodded. "Told ya Eggman would turn them on."

Eggman sighed. "Which isn't surprising."

Eggman grinned. "Welcome back. I'm glad you're OK."

Amy smiled. "Aww, he cares about them."

"You are?" Orbot asked.

"Yes. This place isn't going to clean itself. Get to work!" Orbot and Cubot quickly starts picking up the trash.

Shadow scoffed. "Just so they could clean up the mess."

Amy frowned. "The Lightning Bolts made that mess! Why don't they do it?!"

"Because they took off already."

"...Oh."

Eggman turns to Sonic and the gang. "Before you go, can I interest you in some butter?"

Sonic slowly backs off. "Yeah... Sorry, Egghead." The door closes in front of Team Sonic.

Eggman sighs. "I'm gonna need a lot of toast."

Sonic laughed. "That you do. Welp, at least the episode's over."

"Which was annoying." Shadow retorted. "Seriously, why bring those idiots back again. They were annoying enough as it is."

Knuckles sighed, stretching. "While I can't say anything for the Lightning Dolts, shouldn't we be talking a long break?"

Theo nodded. "Yep, you guys deserved it."

"No kidding." Tails said.

Lucy waved. "See ya next time, everyone!"

And with that, everyone was off taking their long break that they needed.
