After Knuckles was eliminated, everyone went to bed. When Tails go into his bed, he knew he could at least get some sleep this night, knowing that a certain echidna was nowhere to be seen. When it hit morning, everyone was so deep in their sleep, they forgot about Sonic and Shadow's way to wake them up. "OK, EVERYONE! YOU KNOW THE DRILL BY NOW! WAKE UP, AS IT'S CHALLENGE!" Sonic yelled into the megaphone. Everyone came out of their respective cabins, very grumpy and tired. Tails, on the other hand, was much more energized, as he finally got some good sleep. "You seem full of energy today, Tails." Blaze remarked, and Tails nodded. "Yup. Got some good sleep since Knuckles left. I feel bad, but hey, you can't win everything."
"Alright, everyone. Now, you know it's the next challenge, so I'll ask you this. How hungry are you?" Sonic asked. Almost instantly, everyone, except Metal Sonic and the egg, looked up and were very excited about getting a good breakfast. "I see you guys are excited. Very well then. Shadow, get the feast." Sonic ordered. Shadow gave out a big sigh and walked away. Five minutes later, he came back, with a table full of food. On it, was Turkey, salads, pancakes, all sorts of treats. "Well, dig in, everyone," Sonic said, and everyone, but again, Metal and the egg, jumped forward to the table, gulping down anything they could grab. "How much longer you think the food will last?" Sonic whispered to Shadow, and he shrugged. "Probably a minute."
Shadow was right. In exactly a minute, the food was all gone. "Wow, that was delicious." Silver said, and Sonic gave out a chuckle. "Huh? What's so funny?" Blaze asked, and Sonic stopped laughing. "Well, I hope you guys enjoyed the food because today's challenge is no eating or drinking until the last person standing," Sonic explained, and everyone gasped, but, oh boy a third time, Metal and the egg. "Oh, and no using Metal or Egg, they literally can't eat. So to make it fair, no voting for them two tonight." Sonic said, and everyone on Emeralds groaned at the fact "Eggman" was guaranteed another day. "Wait, so we can't eat or drink? Like at all?" Vector asked, and Sonic nodded. "A lot of people do no using the bathroom, or staying up all night or something, so I thought I would add in my own mix."
"Alright guys, we really need to win. If we lose another person, well, they would be up by two." Tails explained. "Don't worry Tails, I have done things like this in the past. In fact, when I trained to be a ninja, I starved myself until I couldn't any more to prepare myself for such challenges. I don't believe anyone could last more than a day." Espio said, and Tails nodded. "They would be really crazy if they wanted to do more than a day." Tails said.
Meanwhile, with the Emeralds, they were discussing plans about the challenge. "So we can't eat at all. Neither can we drink. We have to be careful about this." Eggman said, and everyone nodded. "Oh man, I hate this already. I love food so much!" Jet complained. "That's okay. I can last long. For you see, I barely get hungry or thirsty, so I don't eat or drink much." Eggman said. "So we'll see what happens."
It had been an hour after the challenge started. Currently, it's 10:30 am. No one is feeling hungry or thirsty in the slightest. "Ugh, this is so boring, all we have to do is not eat." Blaze thought as she sat in the tree. Tails was currently messing with gears and metal that Sonic had, although unwillingly, gave him to mess around with. So far, everyone is bored, and going crazy since there is nothing to do but to wait. I don't know how else to describe it, but there is literally nothing happening. Sonic was currently hitting his head against the wall. "Come on, someone eat so it gets interesting." Sonic kept saying, and Shadow was reading a book. "You know faker, I hate when you do stuff like this."
It had been three hours, and Jet was already getting really hungry again. "Hey everyone! Check this out! It's the rarest candy bar in the world!" Sonic yelled as he pulled out a candy bar named, "Gud Candy." Jet's mouth was watering as he stared at the bar. These candy bars were so rare and tasty, they could go for a few thousand dollars at a time. "This could be yours. All you gotta do is come over here and take a bite." Sonic yelled and started waving it around. "No! Jet! You have to resist! But..it's so good...no! I will not eat." Jet said while continuing debating if he really wanted it. "I CAN'T RESIST. COME TO PAPA!" He yelled and ran to it, and took a bite. "And.. Jet's out."
It is now currently 3 pm, as all of the Rings, apart from Metal, talking about the challenge. "You know guys, I'm really hungry." Silver said. "Please don't eat or drink anything, we need to win." Blaze said, and Silver nodded. "I know, it's just I'm not used to not eating when hungry." Silver said. "You know, I think Sonic is going too far." Tails whispered to Cream, and she nodded. "Yeah, he is, but at least he gave us a feast before this." Cream whispered back, and Tails nodded. "Yeah, I guess so. You hungry?" "No, but are you." "Ehh.. a little, but I can last a little longer." Tails answered. Espio was currently meditating while no one noticed. Blaze finally noticed this. "Um, Espio, what are you doing?" "I'm meditating. It helps with sickness and hunger." Espio said back, not moving or opening his eyes.
12 hours have passed since the challenge the started. Charmy, Rouge, Storm, and Cream were all out. "So Tails, you think you're getting… hungry?" Wave asked, and Tails shook his head no. "I'm not going to be hungry for a while, Wave. So I don't think we'll lose." "Whatever, I'm not hungry either." While the two were arguing, Shadow pulled up with a chef's costume on, and a table of all sorts of fruits. "Come get your healthy fruits. It tastes good, and is good for you." Shadow said while waving some fruits in the air. "Oh man, Blaze. Those fruits look good." Silver said to Blaze. "Eh, I'm not hungry." Blaze said and laid down on the ground. "How do you do this Blaze? I'm so hungry!" "I mean, I don't know. But we'll probably still win, since fatso over there looks like he's starving, and the rest over there, well.. Let's just say we'll win for sure." Blaze said, as she sat up. "Anyways, I'm going to explore this island, since we didn't get the chance yesterday." Blaze said as she walked off. "Uh… wait Blaze, I'm coming with you."
16 hours down. Tails, Amy, Storm, and Rouge are out. Wave is sitting in a corner, going crazy after, Eggman is sitting in a chair, staring at the food table, which now has even more food, Blaze is well... Blaze, Silver is about to break, Vector is standing next to the table, staring at the food and drooling at it, and Epsio is still sane. "I can't take it anymore!" Vector said, as he started to devour the food. Now, it's all up to Eggman. "I'm sorry Blaze, I can't take it anymore!" Silver yelled, and he too also started to devour the food. "It's alright Silver, it's still 2-1. Hopefully we win." Blaze said, as she looked at Eggman, as he was sitting there, wanting to eat, but can't.
It has offically been 24 hours. Blaze was now feeling hungry, but Espio wasn't giving up. Eggman was very thirsty and starving, but wouldn't give up. "Hey Blaze, I got something for you." Sonic said to Blaze. Blaze turned around, and saw him holding cat treats. "Sonic, you wouldn't-" "Oh, but I would. And the whole bags yours if you take one bite." Sonic said, and chuckled. "Espio, it's up to you now," Blaze said, as she grabbed a treat and bit down onto it.
Espio was sitting next to Eggman. They both wanted, no, needed food and water badly. "So, feeling hungry?" Espio said and turned to him. Eggman gave out a weak, "yes," and Espio nodded. "I am too," was all he replied with. Espio was standing, and standing, and he couldn't take it anymore. "You're a very noble warrior. I bow down to your skills." Epsio said while bowing down, walking up to the table, and taking a nice, cold sip of water. "And the Emeralds win!" Sonic cheered, and the Emeralds ran up to Eggman. "Wait… I did it? It's over?" Eggman asked, as he turned his over to examine everyone. "Dang, didn't know Eggman was good at challenges," Tails said. "Rings, you lost again. Meet you at the campfire tonight." Sonic said, walked off.
Blaze was currently reading a book in the cabin. She didn't notice Silver walk in the cabin and walk over to her. "Hey, Blaze. Since we're an alliance, we should work together to vote someone off." Silver said, and Blaze looked over to Silver. "Oh, Silver. Didn't see you. Um, yeah, sure. So, who do you want to vote off?" Blaze said, and closed her book. "Well, Metal is immune, so he can't be voted for. Tails is very useful, we obviously won't vote for each other, and Espio did better than all of us. So that leaves us with Cream." "So, we go Cream?" Blaze asked, and Silver nodded. "It's our only choice."
All of the Rings had gone to the place where they were supposed to be, and sat down. "Rings, this is your second time losing, so you know what you have to do." Sonic said, and opened the box. "Tails, you may go first." Sonic said, and the camera cuts to Tails in the box. "Well, let's see. Silver might be useful, Blaze could also, Espio is really good, Cream… no, I can't vote her off. I'll go with Amy." Tails said, and the camera cuts to Amy. "I feel like I am going to vote for Blaze. Silver can literally lift stuff with his mind, Tails is too smart, Espio is a ninja, Metal is immune, and I am best friends with Cream. So Blaze it is." Amy said, and then it cuts to Silver. "An alliance is an alliance. Cream, no offence, but you're our only option." Silver said, and the camera then cuts to Blaze. "Listen, sorry Cream, but you aren't going to be good in challenges down the road. So…" Blaze said, and it cuts to Metal. "I already know I won't leave, so I'll take my chances. Tails, I will become the next leader! I am already smarter than you anyways." Metal finished, and it cuts to Espio next. "Silver is far too naive for a gameshow like this. But, at the same time, Cream is also not fit for this either. I guess Cream since at least Silver has powers." Espio said. Finally, it cuts to Cream. "I don't really know who to vote for. I guess Blaze is my only option since I barely know her. I still feel bad though." Cream said, and the camera cuts to everyone back at the campfire.
"Everyone has finished voting. Let's count the votes, shall we?" Sonic said, with Shadow standing next to him. "The prizes today are water bottles." Sonic said as he pulled out six water bottles. "The first person who is safe is Metal, since he is immune." Sonic said, as he threw the water bottle at Metal. "Hey, wait, Sonic-," before Metal could finish his sentence, the water bottle hit him, and exploded. Water got all over his circuits, and he fell to the ground. "Sonic! I told you not to throw it!" Shadow yelled at Sonic. "Whatever. Anyways, the next person safe is Espio. He got zero votes." Sonic said, and Espio grabbed the water bottle, knowing it's better than grabbing his suitcase to leave. "Silver got zero votes." Sonic began again, and Silver used his telekinesis to pull the bottle to him. "Amy got one vote." Sonic said, and Amy grabbed her water bottle, happy she was going to stay, sad her prize was a water bottle. "Tails got one vote." Sonic said, and tails grabbed his water bottle, unsure why he got a vote, but was glad he got to stay. Blaze and Cream were left sitting on the tree logs. They both looked at each with neverous looks. "Blaze and Cream, one of you go home today. Blaze, I am actually suprised that you are here. Same with you, Cream. But regardless, your team has spoken. The last person safe is… Blaze." Sonic finished, and put down his flashcards. Cream let a sigh. "Well, ok then. I had fun. Thank you for letting me come!" Cream said happily, and skipped over to the cabin to grab her suitcase. "Shadow, take Cream to the boat." Sonic ordered. "Ugh! Fine!"
Shadow was waiting at the boat for Cream. She finally arrived with her suitcase in hand. "Ok, get on-" "WAIT!" Shadow heard a yell and rolled his eyes. "Ugh! What do you want fox?!" Shadow asked as Tails approached. "I wanted to say goodbye to you Cream, before you go." Tails said, and Cream smiled. "Thank you." She replied. "When I get back from this show, I would like to talk." Tails said, and she nodded. "Ok, I will wait." she said, and Shadow got on the boat. "Come on, we don't have all day!" Shadow said, and Cream got on the boat. The engines turned on, and the boat went into the distance, as Tails stared at it until he couldn't see it. "I'll see you soon." He said under his breath, as he walked back to his cabin.
