Percival James Kane was enjoying a surge of popularity following his recent smear campaign against Sonic the Hedgehog when Doctor Ivo Robotnik announced his intention to rule over Mobius once again. As part of the resistance effort, Kane commissioned a show to fight back against his Badniks, namely a music show that brought together the planet's "best" singers. However, the only contestant seen was notoriously-bad Fabian Vane. His performance was so bad that Trooper Badniks in the studio terminated themselves to avoid the torture. Wearing ear-protectors, Kane and his turtle producer congratulated themselves on the plan.
