Shovel knight pulled himself and Cuphead up from the ledge and cuphead dusted himself off as Shovel knight asks the robot questions.
Shovel knight: So what in the great heavens is going on here? And more importantly, how do we return to our homes?
Cuphead: And what's the deal with these crimson stars tossing us all over the place? Don't get me wrong I'd never say no to an adventure, but I think I've seen...Enough
Flashbacks
Cuphead is seen running away from a red train that has a creepy face with huge spider legs chasing him.

It cuts again with Cuphead being chased by multiple eyeballs when the big on flipped around and turned into a mouth. It cut to Cuphead yelling at someone with a beartrap on his leg.
The Neighbor: GET OUT OF MY HOUSE!
Cuphead: WHY DO YOU HAVE BEARTRAPS!??
It cuts to Cuphead and Henry Stickmen stealing money and a ruby until the get caught by The right hand man
Right hand man: Hello
Cuphead was about to blast him but right hand man already shot a laser at both him and henry. It cuts to kid Buu turning around angry seeing Cuphead.
Cuphead: uh, hi.
kid Buu shoots a bunch a ki blast at him as he runs away.
Cuphead: AHHH!
Present
Cuphead is spaced out from nostalgia.
Robot: Those are... Portals. The result of a colossal multiversal calamity. It's a power Source but also a tool if used Correctly. If a portal fails to form near an anomaly, it could cause their abilities to realize any doable feat from their respective realm and if it falls into the wrong hands...Well...The coherence of our reality will be beyond repair.
Shovel Knight: Oh, yeah sure How do we leave please?
Robot: you can't. The occurrence and destinations of a portal is always random. The only way to be certain of destination is directly consume its power. Which is usually Impossible for one to control. One must meet certain requirements to freely use it. And me and one unknown anomaly are the only ones who does at the moment.
All of them hear this information. Cuphead scratches his head in confusion. Madeline looks at the robot thinking and Ghost was taking notes on what she said.
Robot: That's where our little cooperation comes in. I need you lot to help me hunt down the rogues so that I can extract their energy. By now who knows how much they've gathered.
As the robot was talking, down below another robot was crawling around other robots that were powered down
Robot: Only one of them should suffice to get you all back home.
