(I'm back! I had a lot going on, but I am back. Long story short, concussions suck. Anyways, I have slightly bad news. You know how I was wasn't posting for a year? Well, I was working on another fanfiction account and its story. And now I want to continue them since I never continued the stories after coming back here. So I'll be focusing on those stories. Don't worry, I will continue on both that account and this account. One more thing, I am going to post the first chapter to an AU of this story, maybe coming after a week. Anyways, enough talk, onto the story!)
It's a beautiful day outside, birds are singing, flowers are blooming-, wait what? Wrong quote? Oh, uh-, *Take 2* It's a pleasant morning out here. Animals grazing in the woods, and birds chirping. You know what would make it even better? A blue hedgehog with an IQ of 50 screaming into a megaphone. "Alright, contestants. Wake up!" Sonic yelled through the megaphone as ten grumpy contestants walked out of their cabins. "So everyone, congrats, it's the final ten. How do you all feel?" Sonic asked, with a sinister look on his face. "To be honest, I had a horrible time sleeping last night," Charmy said, having bloodshot eyes. "Well, I don't care at all. Because it's time for today's next challenge. Today's challenge is to run away from the crazed Taser Man," Sonic explained, pulling up a picture of Shadow with a Jason mask on. "Um, Sonic, that's Shadow," Silver pointed out. "No, it's the crazed Taser Man, and if he tases you, you are out," Sonic finished. "This does not seem safe at all," Tails said nervously. "Nope, it's not," Sonic replied. "The challenge begins now," Sonic declared, and everyone rushed off to safety.
Vector and Charmy decided to hide in the woods, thinking that there would be no chance for Shadow to catch them. "You know Vector, I've always wondered, is Infinity odd or even?" Charmy asked him. "Charmy, you know I failed history class so how am I supposed to know?" "Um, Vector, that's-," before Charmy could finish, they heard a twig snap. They turned to the direction they heard it very slowly. "Are twigs supposed to snap on their own?" Charmy asked Vector. "Y-yeah. Of course. You didn't know that?" Vector replied nervously, as they start backing away. Suddenly, Shadow appears with the same Jason mask, and charges at them, sparks forming from the taser. "I DON'T WANNA BE TASED AGAIN!" Vector cried out as he sprinted away, leaving Charmy alone to fend for himself. "Uh.." he thought for a moment, before looking up to see a branch on a tree. He flew up and sat on the branch. "Haha, Shadow. I'm smarter than you," Charmy teased. What he forgot, however, is that Shadow could teleport to him. Once he did, Charmy just sat there, knowing what was going to happen next. I'll spare you the details.
Cream and Tails were currently hiding in a shack next to the fishing bay, (Wait, there is a fishing bay?) east of the island. "So… is that what this challenge is? Running away from a person who wants to tase us all?" Tails questioned silently to Cream. "It looks like it. I guess Sonic is getting more out of hand as time goes on," Cream replied. Meanwhile, Shadow was stalking the couple, as he heard them talking in the shack. He tiptoed to the front door, then smashed it open, taser in hand. "Uh oh," Tails said, as Shadow approached slowly. "Um, Tails, you got a plan or what?" Cream asked as they backed away from Shadow. Tails looked around in the room and saw a window. "Yeah, I do. Come on!" Tails commanded as he and Cream jumped out the window right before Shadow reached them. They then darted away, as Shadow went out of the cabin. They were too far to reach at this point, so he walked away to find new targets.
Wave thought it would be a good idea to go as far as possible, so she headed as far north. What she found was an old man, in a black robe with a long white beard. "Hello, Wave. I wasn't expecting you, but it is still great to see you," The man said without turning his head. "Uuuhhh… right…. So I just need to-," "Ah, you don't need to leave, because you have everything you need is right here," The man interrupted here. "Um, what is that exactly?" Wave asked, disturbed by this weirdo in the forest. "It is a device that will help you survive the psycho tasing everyone," The man explained. "What kind of device?" "It is a device that will annoy him so much, he will be forced to leave the area. Of course, you too will be forced to sit through it, but it will ensure your survival," The man continued. "Ok, so what do you want from me then?" Wave asked. "Well, I would ask for a duel, but you are not worthy of one. Instead, I will ask you of something." "What is it?" "That blue hedgehog, Sonic. He has these things called, 'chili dogs,' and I've never had them. I want to see how it tastes. Bring me one of his chili dogs, and you receive my device," The man instructed. "Um, that is almost impossible. Do you know how much he guards those things? If he finds out I stole one, he will make my life harder here than it already is," Wave complained. "Well, if I don't have one in my hand, you won't get my device," The man told her. She sighed and walked off to go do her mission.
With Espio, he had been meditating in the forest, thinking that this challenge would be easy, as all he would have to do is just not get tased. I mean, come on, he is a ninja, right? He started hearing footsteps, already knowing who it is. "You try to tase me, do you not? Well, I won't be an easy target you know," Espio said, feeling cocky he will win the duel. Shadow doesn't reply, (Mostly because he is having way too much fun with this,) and takes another step. "Hmph, so be it," Espio said while standing up. He got into a fighting stance. Shadow runs up to Espio and swipes the taser left, the electricity inches away from his face. Espio kicks Shadow away. He then grabs him by the arm and disarmed him. He threw Shadow to the side, wiping his hands. Shadow got an idea and pulled out a green chaos emerald. "Chaos… CONTROL!" He commanded, and time froze. He picked up his taser and tased Espio in the arm. He walked away, and time unfroze as Espio fell to his knees, clutching his arm. "Guess I shouldn't have been cocky, huh?"
Vector had been frantically running all this time, trying to find any spot to hide in. "Gosh darn it! Where is a hiding spot?!" Vector asked panickily, having already tried a fridge, a blanket, and a behind a tree, he couldn't find a perfect hiding spot. What he didn't know, however, was that Shadow was following him the whole time. Vector was trying to see if he could fit in a bush, and when he turned around and saw Shadow, he knew what would come next.
With Tails and Cream, they were still running away from the shack until they knew they found a perfect hiding spot. Once they came across the Rings and Emeralds cabins', they immediately stepped in the Rings. They then locked the door to make sure he wouldn't get in. "Wow, that was intense," Tails said while trying to catch his breath. "Yeah… that was," Cream agreed, and laid down on the bed. They heard a window smash behind them, as Shadow crawled through the window and into the cabin. Tails sprinted to the door, but it was still locked. Cream and Tails just looked at Shadow, and… you know what happens.
Wave thought that getting one of Sonic's chili dogs would likely not end well. He is a host after all. So when she found out that the host room was unguarded and nobody to be in there, she was surprised. She opened the freezer and grabbed a chili dog when she heard the door being opened. Panicking, she hid behind the desk that was in the office. Sonic walked through the door on the phone. "Alright, listen Shadow, this challenge is going too slow, so I'll tell you where the contestants are hiding," Sonic said on the phone, sitting at the desk, and turning on the cameras. "Ok, Eggman is huddled at the dock crying, Storm is in the cafeteria eating donuts, and I can't find Blaze, Silver, or Wave. Hmm.." Sonic said, getting suspicious. "Oh well, we know where two are. Huh? Oh, you're by the dock? Well get Eggman then, you know how much I hate him," Sonic ordered to Shadow through the phone as he left the room and closed the door. Wave gave a sigh of relief as she stood up, microwaved the chili dog, and went to go give it to the strange man.
You know, even someone as tough as Eggman, who has tried to destroy the world multiple times, even someone like him can break. He is currently on the deck, sobbing over his inventiable doom. He looked up and saw Shadow, taser in hand. He turned on the taser and the electricity lighted up like a lightsaber. He slowly approached Eggman. "Please, have mercy," Eggman pleaded, but it was too late. Once Shadow got up to him, he tased his arm, and Eggman fell unconscious.
Wave had finally reached back to where the old man was, and he was still standing in the same spot. "Um, I have the chili dog," Wave said, waving it in the air. "Ah, good. Give it to me," The man said while turning around. Wave put the chili dog in his hand and took out a music player. "Wait what?! This is all you give me?!" Wave complained. "I promise you, this is more than what it seems," The man told her, and walked away. Wave was very upset but decided she might as well use it. While she was heading back, she heard footsteps behind her. She turned around and saw Shadow with his Jason mask. "Uhh… hey Taser Man, I have something for you," Wave announced and pulled out the music player. She hit play, and the My Little Pony theme song started playing. "What the?" Wave said, confused why it started playing that song. "Oh no… not that… the cringe…" Shadow said while falling to his knees. "Ugh… I'll… I'll get you later...," Shadow said, and ran away from Wave. "Huh… guess that was worth it,"
Storm was having the time of his life. Unlimited donuts, all the drinks to himself, and even a music player, (don't ask me how he got one.) It was like a party to himself. It was a shame that Storm didn't notice Shadow leaning at the front door of the cafeteria. When he did, the music stopped, and they stared at each other for a few seconds. "Uh… please spare me," Storm asked, and… well, Shadow didn't. As soon as Storm fainted, Wave walked in, saw Shadow with his taser and Storm on the floor and froze. "Um…" Wave said, then frantically tried to pull the music player out, but Shadow was quicker to tase her. "And the Rings win!" Sonic announced when he walked in, along with the other contestants, aside from Silver and Blaze. "Are you kidding me?" Wave said when she sat up. "Hey guys, where is Blaze and Silver?" Tails asked when suddenly Silver and Blaze walked to the group. "Where have you guys been?" Espio asked. "We hid on the mountain the whole time," Blaze explained. "Oh," Espio replied. "Emeralds, see you at the campfire tonight."
The camera cuts to the campfire, all five of the emeralds are very unpleased. "Hello, Emeralds. Welcome back to the elimination ceremony. You all know the drill. And Audience, we need to show you an ad while they vote," Sonic said, and it cuts to Eggman sitting on a stool. "Do you have a problem with hedgehogs that can break the sound barrier? Well, I have an item for you. The Amy-Bot is a robot designed just like a certain annoying pink hedgehog. It will chase your annoying blue hedgehog at the same speed. Let's see it in action," Eggman explained the product, and cuts to Sonic stretching in the street. "Now, I have here fifty Amy-Bot's that once detect Sonic there, will chase him around the speed of sound. Now then, let's see what happens," Eggman finished, and a rumbling noise was heard. Sonic looks towards the direction and sees a bunch of robots looking like Amy, chanting his name. "Oh no, my worst nightmare!" Sonic screamed and ran away. "As you can see, it works," Eggman said, and it shows an image of the robot and the price listed at $150,000.
It cuts back to the campfire, everyone had finished voting. "All right! Now that we finished, let us begin the ceremony. Today, the prizes are one-dollar United States bills," Sonic said, pulling out four one-dollar bills. "Now then, first off, the only person with zero votes is Wave," Sonic said. "I knew you guys would have common sense," Wave said smugly and grabbed a dollar. "Vector, you received one vote," Sonic continued. Vector grabbed his dollar. "Storm, you got one vote," Sonic said. "Yipee!" Storm yelled gladly and took a dollar. "Charmy, Eggman. One of you got two votes," Sonic informed. "The last person safe is…" Sonic trailed, and Eggman started sweating. Charmy also looked nervous. "Eggman, sadly," Sonic said. Eggman ignored Sonic's statement and grabbed his dollar. "Aw man, I really liked doing this competition," Charmy said with a sad tone. "No! Not Charmy, man. Now all I have left is Espio and we aren't on the same team," Vector said also with a sad tone. "I thought you hated him," Wave said to Vector. "Well, he is annoying, but I still care for him in a way," Vector said to Wave harshly. Charmy flew to the boat, where Shadow stood. "Alright, idiot, get in the boat," Shadow said, pointing at the boat. He did so, and the boat started, as Charmy left the island, not returning for a while.
