"Welcome back to Mobian Warrior! Where 16 contestants are trying to prove they have what it takes to achieve total victory!" Coke said into the camera
Jet pushes Coke out of the way. "And it's gonna be me!" Coke pushed him back.
"You'll get your chance, but going first issssssssss...Charmy!" He said pointing to the bee
"YAY! I'M GOING FIRST!" the hyper bee shouted.
Espio face palm. "Oh no."
"Alrighty then Charmy, take your spot on the starting line. For the rest of you, feel free to watch. Me and Slick will be in the commentator booth, while Nate hosts from down here." Coke said
Charmy then takes his spot at the starting line.
"Ok then. Ready Slick?" Coke asked his co-host
"Ready Nate?" Coke called down to his co-host.
"Ready!" Nate called up.
"Let me hear you folks! Are you ready?" Coke called to the audience, to a massive response.
"I still can't hear you!" Slick said. The audience yelled back louder.
"Ready...set...go!" Coke yelled starting the clock. Charmy happily jumped from slope to slope, easily beating the quintuple steps.
"And he's off, folks! Look at that bee perfected the quintuple steps!" Slick said. Charmy the lunged for the Barrel Climb, and climbed over. Then he clung tightly to the Rolling Log, and went for a ride.
"Going...going...he's past the Rolling Log!" Coke said The Charmy fan girls squealed for their favorite bee. Charmy grabbed hold of the Log Drop, and rode it down as it hit its multiple drops.
"The little guy's still going!" Coke said as Charmy bounced over the Balance Bridge. "He's got 70 seconds."
"You can do it, Charmy!" Nate shouted.
Charmy took a very brief pause, then launched from the springboard, grabbing the metal ring, and riding it down track. He didnt even pause when he jumped from the small trampoline into the cargo net.
"It looks like the Circle Slider and the Jump Hang didnt even faze him!" Coke said as Charmy climbed under, coming very close to the water. "Remember, should any contestant touch the water, they lose."
"What a brave bee, Coke." Slick said keeping his eyes on Charmy.
"But here comes the real challenge for the little guy: The Warped Wall." Coke said. Charmy took a pause, looking up the tall wall, and then tried to run up it, before sliding back down. "He has 40 seconds left. He has to get over the wall!" Coke said as Charmy failed again
"Dang! I wish I could fly!" Charmy complained.
"Come on Charmy!" Vector called out. Charmy tried again, but missed the top by inches.
"It's not over yet. He has 25 seconds" Coke called out
"I-Im trying!" the bee panted.
The ten second Klaxon began blaring. Charmy ran up the wall again...before finally getting the edge.
"He got it!" Coke called out, as the timer hit zero. "But it was a little too late."
Charmy: Timed Out On Warped Wall
The bee groaned in disappointment, then various contestants and audience members started clapping. "Look at this. Showing their appreciation for Charmy. The little guy has nothing to be ashamed of."
"You did great, Charmy!" Slick shouted.
Charmy flew back over to the Chaotix, a little disappointed. "Let's see if Nate can score an interview." Coke said
"Even though you didn't make it, how do you feel?" Nate asked.
"Why can't I be taller?!" Charmy wailed. Espio and Vector patted the bee on the back.
"You did your best Charmy." Espio said
"True that. True that! Next up...is Cream! Give her a round of applause!" Slick said. Cream happily made it to the starting line, as various contestants and audience applauded.
"You can do it Cream!" Amy called out.
"I'll do my best!" Cream stated.
"On your mark...get set...GO!"
Cream, being a rabbit, hopped easily through the four slopes, landing on the other side, then easily climbed over the Barrel Climb.
"She's starting out strong." coke said
"Way to go, Cream!" Amy shouted.
Cream gripped the Rolling Log, and rolled it down the track, the clung to the Log Drop, and made it down that.
"She's hanging in there." Coke said as people cheered.
"Keep going Cream!" Tails called out
"Now's she coming across the Balanced Bridge." Slick said
Cream bounced across the moving bridge easily, before taking a pause at the Circle Slider.
"85 seconds on the clock, and there she goes." Coke said as Cream bounced off the springboard, but missed the entire ring, and crashed into the pond below. "What?! She missed!" The red hedgehog said in shock.
Cream: Failed Circle Slider
"Oh my! I hope she's okay!" Slick said filled with worry. Cream crawled out of the pond, now soaking wet. Nate walked over, and handed her a towel. People began applauding again, and Amy helped her to a seat.
"She gave it a good try, so what went wrong?" Coke asked Slick
"Let's look at the replay." The replayed, played in slow motion, showed Cream got a very bad launch of the springboard.
"There's the source of her problem. A bad jump of the springboard." Coke said
"Ooh, that is a problem, but, hey, Cream you did great!" Slick shouted out to Cream.
"Let's see...next we have Storm!" Coke called out.
"Alright! I'll do my best, boss!" Storm called out as he went to the starting line.
"This oughta be interesting." Knuckles whispered to Tails.
"And...go!" Slick rang out.
Storm, being one of the two biggest contestants, stumbled on the Quintuple Steps, but charged over the Barrel Climb.
"Storm recovered quite nicely." Coke said.
"I think he's gonna slip up." Tails whispered back to Knuckles
"Quiet, shrimp!" Wave snapped
"She's lucky she's a girl!" Tails whispered to Knuckles, as Storm rolled down the Rolling Log, very dizzy at the end.
"He looks confused. Is this gonna be his downfall?" Coke said as Storm rode the Log Drop down. "No he's still going!"
"What a fast recovery!" Slick added. Storm jumped on the Balance Bridge, causing it to tilt, and causing him to slam into the mat on the other side.
"Oh! Is he out!?" Coke called out, as Storm pulled himself up. "No he's still going!"
"You better make it Storm!" Jet called out
"I-I will, boss!" Storm said.
"He's so clumsy!" Knuckles whispered to Tails who started snickering along.
"In his defense...he's big." Tails whispered. Storm didnt even pause at the Circle Slider, and launched off the springboard, grabbing the ring, and sliding down.
"He recovered nicely, and he's...wait, he's not even pausing at the Jump Hang!" Coke said, jumping from the trampoline, and grabbing the top of the net. "He got the top of the net!" Coke said amazed.
"Amazing!" Storm paused at the Warped Wall.
"He has a minute left on the clock. This is where Charmy met his match. Will Storm suffer the same fate?" Coke asked as Storm built momentum on the wall, running up, and grabbing the top. "He has it!" Coke said as Storm pulled himself up.
"HE'S GOT IT! HE'S GOT IT!" Slick yelled happily.
The audience cheered, as did various contestants, especially the Rogues. Storm grabbed the pipe for the Slider Drop, both hands under the pipe. He pushed himself forward, and tried using his forward momentum to get the net. He got one hand on it...but couldnt get his other hand, causing him to fall into the pond below.
Storm: Failed Slider Jump
"Augh! He was so close to the end!" Coke called out as the two other Rogues groaned out loud.
"Let's see that again!"
"Let's!" Coke agreed, showing the instant replay. "There you go, he gripped the pipe wrong. When it hit the end of the track, he has to quickly grab the net with both hands, and they're both out of range!" He said as Storm pulled himself out. Nate handed him a towel, then the Babylon Rogue sulked over to his team mates. Knuckles was struggling not to laugh.
"Behave, Knuckles!" Slick threatened.
"Lets look back on whats happened so far. Charmy had a good run, but timed out on the Warped Wall. Cream was off to a very good start, but slipped up on the Circle Slider. Storm looked like he could go all the way but failed the Slider Drop. Will anyone get past Stage 1, let along the entire course?!" Coke asked. "Slick, introduce the next victim...oops I mean contestant."
"It's Blaze!"
"Break a leg Blaze!" Silver called out as Blaze approached the starting line.
"You go, girl! Just try not to fall in the water." Slick turned to Coke. "My $20 is on her."
"I'll take note of it." Coke said. "Go!" Blaze with her cat like reflexes passed the Quintuple Steps easily, and didnt even break a sweat on the Barrel Climb. "Woo! Look at her go!" Slick called.
"She's not done yet." Coke said as she was whipped around the Rolling Log, but breezed by that, and the Log Drop was no problem. "She's doing well."
"Hang on Blaze!" Cream cheered as Silver clapped. Slick was wagging her tail as he watched her go.
Blaze took a brief pause, and leaped across the Balance Bridge, not even resting as she ignored the springboard all together, grabbing the ring.
"Oh my goodness!" Coke was beyond impressed as she slid down to the next obstacle
"Go, Blaze!" Silver and Cream cheered on. Blaze jumped from the trampoline to the net, choosing to climb under.
"She's making excellent time!" Coke said showing she had 80 seconds on the clock. Blaze tried to get up the Warped Wall on her first try, but slide back down. "Uhoh!"
"You can do it, Blaze!" Slick shouted, before turning to Coke. "Don't cats have claws?"
"Yes." Coke said, as Blaze made good on her second try getting up the Warped Wall. "She got it! But only 50 seconds left!" Blaze grabbed the pipe for the Slider Drop, one hand over, one hand under, and launched forward, hitting the end of the track...and taking hold of the net. The crowd exploded. "She has it! Plenty of time left!" Nate and Slick howl in excitement.
"Last obstacle: The Rope Climb!" Coke called out as Blaze took hold of the rope, and swung to the padded wall, and climbing up, plenty of time on the clock, making it to the top, and pausing, looking at the clock with 20 seconds left. Casually, she walked over, and pushed the red button, stopping the clock. "SHE GOT IT!" Coke yelled out as fans exploded, and contestants roared.
Blaze: Passed Stage 1. 00:20:00 Left on clock
"Nate get over there!"
"OH YEAH! WOO! OUR FIRST ONE TO FINISH THE COURSE!" Slick says as he snatches the money.
"Yeah, Blaze!" Cream cheered.
"Great job!" Silver shouted with joy.
"Blaze! You made history twice! Not only are you the first one to pass Stage One, you are also the first female to do so! What do you have to say?" Nate asked holding a mic to her.
"I say that it felt really great to be the first one to finish it." Blaze said, not looking tired.
"Stage 2 awaits for you later on. Back to you guys." Nate said up to Slick and Coke
"That was spectacular, huh, Coke?"
"It was outstanding! She demolished the course!" Coke said. "But on with the show! Rouge, you're up!" He called down to the albino bat
"Don't mind if I do. Wish me luck, Shadow!" She called out as she got to her starting position.
"Humph!" Shadow grunted
"You know the drill." Slick said
" Go!" coke called. As quick as she was, Rouge may have set a speed record for the Quintuple Step, not even pausing at the Barrel Climb.
"And she's off. Look at that bat go!"
"And for the ones with the sick minds, dont look at her like that!" Coke warned as Rouge rolled passed the rolling log, and gripped the Log Drop as it made its trip.
"She might make it." Coke said "Rouge is holding up nicely, isnt she slick?"
"You betcha she is." Rouge took a brief pause, then bounced across the Balance Bridge.
"Im surprised. These early obstacles arent making any damages." Coke said
'Fall already, bat! FALL!' Knuckles thought.
Rouge launched from the springboard, and took hold of the ring, but for a very brief moment, one hand slipped.
"Oh my! She hanging on by one hand!" Coke said as she made it to the other side
"Can she make it!?"
"A slip up like that could cost her later!" Rouge then jumped from the trampoline, clinging to the net, before climbing over. Then she looked up the Warped Wall.
"She might be getting nervous." Tails said to Knuckles
"So what?" Knuckles said. Rouge ran back and forth to build momentum, before running up, and climbing over the wall.
"She's got it!" Coke said as she gripped the bar, before forcing it down the track, then flinging herself to the net. The crowd roared when she climbed over.
"And there she goes!" Slick said.
Rouge looked, and had 40 seconds on the clock. Taking hold of the rope, she swung to the wall, but mistimed her landing.
"Can she hang on?!" Coke called out as she struggled to pull herself up
"I think she can." Rouge finally pulled herself up to the top, pressing the button with time to spare.
Rouge: Passed Stage 1. 00:12:56 Left On Clock
"And just like that, we have two contestants surviving Stage 1!" Coke said
"Amazing! Lets see her interview, Nate!" Slick said.
"Rouge, you just crushed the course! What do you have to say to your fans?" Nate asked holding a mike to her
"I'm gonna be the first Mobian Warrior!" she exclaimed and winked at the Rouge fan boys who were cheering for her.
"Keep it PG." Nate said as Rouge made her way back to the others, winking at Knuckles and Shadow
"Alright then, now with two contestants moving on, next we have Vector! Cheer on for Vec everyone!" Slick blew the horn and the croc took off. Vector took his time on the Quintuple Step, clearing it before charging over the Barrel Climb
"Look at him go, folks!"
"Can he make it past the rolling log?" Coke asked as Vector was whipped around the log, making it down the end.
"Yes he can." Slick said
Vector clung to the Log Drop was it made its violent trip down. He made a brief stumbled on the Balance Bridge.
"Still going strong."
"Yup."
Vector jumped from the springboard, but his size caused a good whiplash when he grabbed the ring, hanging on long enough to get to the other side.
"YAY! GO VECTOR!" Charmy cheered. Vector had to pause for a breather, losing valuble time.
"No time to rest!" Espio called.
"Espio, right! You only have a few seconds left!" Slick stated. He turns to Coke and says, "It seems like the big guys get tired out more easily, huh?"
"Your right Slick. He only has 50 seconds." Coke said as Vector launched off the trampoline, grabbing the net, and climbing over, taking up more time.
"If he has any hopes of getting past, he has to get over the wall on his first try." Espio said
"Right, Espio!" Vector paused, then charged up the wall, pulling himself up.
"30 seconds left!" coke called as he forced the pipe down the track, barely grabbing the net, going under, losing more time. "20 seconds!"
"I'm not sure if he's gonna make it."
Vector swung to the wall, landing with 15 seconds left.
"He's gotta go faster!" Coke said as the ten second klaxon rang out. Vector pulled himself up, then stumbled forward hitting the button.
"According to the clock..." The red hedgehog examined it closely. "...He made it barely!"
Vector: Passed Stage 1. 00:04:25 Left on clock
"Unbelievable! Let's see that replay, shall we?" Slick said
"As you see, Vector didnt have the most perfect run." Coke said viewing the replay
"But he made it anyway, right?"
"He made it, with only 4 seconds on the clock
"Yo, Nate! Get an interview on him!"
Nate walked over to Vector and said, "That was tight one on there, huh? How do you feel?"
"Tired...but I made it!" Vector said happily, as Charmy jumped on top of him.
"YAY VECTOR!"
Espio nodded and said, "A job well done, Vector."
"Lets see...next we have Wave!" Coke said
"You go, Wave!" Storm cheered.
"Don't screw up like Storm did!" Jet snapped.
"I'll try not too." Wave muttered, taking her spot at the starting line
"On your mark...get set...GO!" Slick announced and the swallow look off to the first course.
"Will she join the others, or will she fall like Storm?" coke asked as Wave perfectly completed the Quintuple Steps
"And like Charmy and Cream." Slick added. Wave climbed over the Barrel Climb, and withstood the Rolling Log.
"Making excellent time." Coke said impressed
"Indeed."
Wave ran into a little trouble riding down the Log Drop. She didnt have a good enough grip, and slid down a few notches, but made it past
'Butterfingers' Tails thought. Wave then cleared the Balance Bridge, then took flight, grabbing the metal ring and riding it down.
"We got serious competitors." Coke said
"Yeah."
Wave bounced off the trampoline, taking hold of the net and climbing over.
"50 seconds left. She could be going for a record." Coke said as Wave got over the Warped Wall on her first try.
"Think she could make it?" Storm asked Jet
"She better! I want to make sure that two of us make it to the end!"
"W-Who's the other?"
Jet turned to him. "Me of course!"
"He wishes." Sonic muttered to Tails.
"Ignoring the side conversations, there she goes!" Coke said as Wave slid down the track, hitting the end and clinging to the net. "She has it!"
"Alright!"
"With 20 seconds on the clock, she pretty much has this." Coke said as the Shallow swung to the wall, climbing up the hitting the button.
"12 seconds left on the clock, Wave has become the first Babylon Rogue to pass Stage 1" Coke said. Tails groaned.
Wave: Passed Stage 1. 00:12:09 Left on Clock
"Woo-HOO!" Storm cheered. Jet jumped on top of Storm and clung on his head.
"THAT'S MY MECHANIC!" Wave happily walked over to her team mates, who happily sat her on their shoulders.
"Spectacular win for a Babylon Rogue! How does it feel, Wave?" Slick asked.
"Im on top of the world!" Wave said as her team mates paraded her off.
"Next we have Silver the Hedgehog!" Coke announced
"Go, pot-I mean, Silver!" Blaze glared at the host.
"I see that look Blaze! Ok, if Silver can pass stage 1, then no more drug jokes from me!" Coke said. Silver now had more reason to pass.
"Yeah, Blaze. No more jokes." Slick turned to Coke and whispers. "Man she's so protective about him."
"Silver and Blaze sitting in a tree." Coke whispered
"K-I-S-S-I-N-G!" Slick whispered back.
"Oh wait is thing on?" Coke asked about the mic
"If Blaze glaring at us with fire in her eyes like she's ready to roast us alive, then I think so." Coke looked. "She is..." He started the clock, and Silver started
"And he's off! Better go get that fire extinguisher and fireproof shield." Slick said as he slipped out of his seat.
"you better." Coke said as Silver cleared the Quintuple Steps, then the Barrel Climb
"Found them!" Slick said as he brought a fire extinguisher and a fireproof shield.
"And in case these don't work..." he grabs out a fire hose, "then this will."
"Great..." Coke said as Silver cleared the Rolling Log, then he clung to the Log Drop as it moved
"He's still going strong." Nate said. "Hey, what's wrong with Blaze?"
"You dont wanna know." Coke said, ducking under a fireball. Silver then leaped over the Balance Bridge
"Great jump!" Nate said.
'For a psychokinetic hedgehog who's on weed.' Slick thought.
Silver bounced off the springboard, taking hold of the ring, sliding down the track. On the way down, he may or may not have winked at Blaze. Then he launched to the Jump Hang, climbing over the net.
"Perfect landing!"
The futuristic hedgehog looked up the wall, the ran up it on his first try
"Can he make it!?"
Silver paused, then took hold of the bar, sliding it down the track, flinging himself to the net.
"He has it!" Coke said, looking at the clock, over 35 seconds left
"Can he make it!?"
Silver swung to the wall, and carefully climbed up, stopping the clock at 20 seconds.
"He got it!" Coke said happily
Silver: Passed Stage 1. 00:20:23 Left on clock
"Awesome!"
"Ha ha!" Silver shouted at the finish line, before making his way back to his friends.
"Go, Silver! Lets get an interview with him, Nate. Oh, Nate! Tell Blaze to take a chill pill will ya?"
"You did one heck of a job Silver. Can I get your's and Blaze's reactions?" Nate asked
'At least she calmed down.' Slick thought.
"I made the future proud!" Silver said panting.
"That seems like a good place to stop for today. Half of our sixteen contestants have gone, but sadly three fell along the way. But five hopefuls have made it to stage 2! Next time out strongest contenders will take on the course! Will any of them make it? Find out next time on Mobian Warrior!"
