(Why are you reading this, the story is down there)
Aaaand welcome back to… Guess. That. Thing! I'll describe to you what the thing is and you have to guess. It's a place Sonic and Shadow like to stand on in the mornings. Is it: A) The Rock, B) The Rock, C) The Rock, or D) Please get on with the stupid story. If you guessed D, then ow that hurt my feelings, but if not, you're wrong. It's actually E) The Rock. Anyways, you know the deal. Sonic stands on the rock, awakes the contestant, and gets on to today's challenge. "Good morning contestants! Another day, another challenge," Sonic greets them energetically, despite everyone being tired as usual. "Today's challenge involves a lot of teamwork. Two people on each team will have to complete three obstacles in an obstacle course. Blindfolded," Sonic said, and everyone gulped, thinking how it would be even possible to do such a task. "The other two people will guide you with a walkie talkie that will be provided when the challenge begins," Sonic continued. "Once the first person has done their three obstacles, the next person will go. Now, pick your two team members that will be doing the obstacle course," Sonic ordered, and the two teams huddled up and discussed who would go up.
After some brief conversation, it was decided for the Rings, that Espio would be doing the first three, with Silver as his guider, and Tails doing the next three, and Cream being his guider. For the Emeralds, Wave would do the first three, with Storm being her guider, and Robotnik would do the next three, Vector being his guider. Espio, Tails, Robotnik, and Wave were given blindfolds and a walkie talkie, and the guiders were given their walkie talkie. The guiders then climbed up a tower that was somehow there, (Don't ask,) and went into a large room with a window to see the contenders. The first people going were Espio and Wave.
"The first challenge is an electric maze. You, of course, shouldn't be able to see where you're going. Thus, making it harder to complete. Your guider, however, can see the maze and how to complete it. Complete the maze to continue the course," Sonic explained a microphone, and the challenge started. "Alright Espio, First thing you wanna do is go forward a few steps and turn left," Silver told Espio through the walkie talkie, and Espio followed the command. "Alright, do I keep going?" Espio asked Silver. "Yea, keep going. I'll tell you when to stop," Silver answered. "Alright, Wave. Go forward for a little bit, and turn left," Storm said to Wave. "Uhh… ok. Tell me when to stop going forward so I can turn," Wave told him and started walking. Wave kept walking, until she hit the electric fence, and got zapped. She fell to the floor. "Ugh… Storm… I told you to tell me when to stop," Wave said in the walkie talkie when she got back up, (And don't ask how the walkie talkie still works. Let's just go with magic alright?) "Oops," was all Storm replied with.
After a while, Espio had escaped the maze, without getting zapped once. He then came across the next challenge, lasers. Red lasers were set up all-around a 30 feet square, and he had to dodge them, or else he would get zapped. "Ok, so there are lasers set up all around the area you're in. I'll help you get past them," Silver said to Espio. "Lasers, you say? I can do this on my own. Don't worry," Espio confidently said to Silver. "Um, I don't think that's a good idea," Silver said to Espio nervously. Espio then proceeded to somehow dodge every single laser, jumping in the air, ducking under them, even doing tricks. While he was doing that, Wave had escaped the maze, while also hitting almost every fence in the maze. "Ugh… finally… I'm out…," Wave said with a sigh relief. "Alright, Storm? What's the next thing I gotta do?" Wave asked. "Alright, so, there are these laser things, don't touch them, so, uh… duck under and walk forward," Storm explained, and Wave ducked under the laser, actually dodging it. "Ok, stand back up now," Storm ordered to Wave, but she stood up too early and got zapped, again. She fell to the ground, in a lot of pain. "I hate this place," Wave said, still lying on the ground.
Espio had now reached his third and final obstacle. He stood between two walls, each wall containing a machine that fired tennis balls every few seconds. "Wow, I still can't believe you just did that," Silver said to Espio, still shocked at how skillful he was. "Ok, so, what's the next challenge?" Espio asked. "Alright, there are two walls that are firing tennis balls. All you have to do is dodge them," Silver explained. He then told Espio when to go and when to stop.
While Espio was finishing, Wave had caught up to Espio. Well, she was basically crawling at this point. "What's… next…?" Wave asked weakly to Storm. "The walls are shooting tennis balls at you, but they shouldn't hit you if you crawl," Storm said, so Wave thought she might get a free pass. Instead, the balls somehow still hit her. Every single one hit her.
Espio had reached Tails and took off his blindfold. "Alright Tails, it's time for you to go now," Espio had told him. Tails was wearing his blindfold on, so he couldn't see what the challenge was. "Hello, Cream? You there?" Tails asked through the walkie talkie. "Yes, I'm here," Cream responded. "Alright, so what's the first challenge?" Tails asked. The obstacle course was on a bridge over a small body of water. It was a device that had four large rods with a motor that spins them around, (I don't know how to explain it, but the people who know what I'm talking about know what I'm talking about.) "There's this thing in the middle that is spinning four rods over some water. I'll tell you where to go," Cream explained, and lead Tails the way.
Robotnik was still waiting for Wave and was getting more nervous as Tails was already going before him. Finally, he heard Wave crawling behind him. "Go…" Wave said weakly to him. "Uh… Wave… you alright?" Robotnik asked. "No…" Wave answered. "Ok... I'll just go then," Robotnik said, and pulled out his walkie talkie. "Vector, do you read me?" Robotnik asked. "Loud and clear," Vector responded. "Alright, tell me where to go," Robotnik said to him, and Vector lead him to victory.
Both Robotnik and Tails finished the obstacle at the same time and moved on to the next one. They were to cross a bridge that had a wall next to it. It would extend out a boxing glove to push them into some water below., (They are on separate paths for now on.) Tails was completing it with ease, Cream helping him out. Robotnik was also doing fine, but accidentally got hit by a fist suddenly. "Oof, oh no-," Robotnik had said when he got hit and plunged into the water. "Hello? Vector?" He asked through the walkie talkie when he submerged. "Yeah, I'm here. Wow, surprised that walkie talkie ain't broken," Vector replied to him. "Yeah, we thought of that scenario playing out," Sonic said to him, actually sounding smart for once.
Tails was on the final obstacle. He had to walk over a balance beam over some water, and if he failed, he would have to go back to the beginning of the beam until he completed it. "Tails, please tell me you got a good balance," Cream said to Tails. "Why's that?" "The final obstacle is a balance beam over water," Cream explained briefly to him. "Ok, doesn't seem too hard," Tails replied, and started walking over the beam. After he did about a tenth of it, Robotnik finally caught up to him, out of breath. "Ok, what's next?" Robotnik asked to Vector while panting. "It's a balance beam, so I hope you got good balance," Vector told him. Robotnik then started to walk over the beam.
Tails had made it halfway through, however, Robotnik was surprisingly fast, almost catching up to him. While he was still walking, his foot slipped. He fell off the beam but luckily caught it with his hand. "Tails, you alright?" Cream asked through the walkie talkie. "Yeah, what's the status on Robotnik?" "He's passing you now," Cream answered. Tails got back up on the beam and knew he had to hurry. He started going faster, and both of them were close. They both were going as fast as they could. But Tails was faster and finished first. "Rings win the challenge!" Sonic announced, and Cream and Silver cheered and rushed over to Tails to congratulate him. Robotnik then finished and hopped off. "Emeralds, you'll be going to elimination tonight," Sonic said to them.
The camera cuts to the campfire, with both the Emeralds and Rings at the campfire. "Now, you all may be wondering, why are the Rings here? Well, that's because this is the last team elimination," Sonic explained. "That means tomorrow, the teams will be split," Sonic said. "Now, I have here three Pepsi cans, because we all know that Pepsi is better than " Sonic said, pulling out a tray of three cans of Pepsi. "Actually, I like Dr. Pepper bette-," Wave was going to say, but was interrupted by Sonic. "Like I was saying, I have three cans. But there are four of you. So, begin the voting," Sonic commanded. Now, an ad should show up right abooooout… now! Huh? Um… now! Huh, what's that? We're out of ads? Oh, um, let's just skip the ad then. It cuts to the campfire, (hey wait we were already at the campfir-,) and Sonic holding out flashcards. "Ok, so let's start off with the first person safe, with zero votes. Wave, you got no votes, for what, like the fourth time?" Sonic began and threw her the can. She caught but didn't look too pleased. "Thanks, I guess?" Wave responded. "The other person who got zero votes is Robotnik somehow," Sonic said, sounding annoyed and threw him the can. "You will never get me out hedgehog," He said under his breath. "Vector, Storm. You both received votes. By a vote count of 3-1, the last person safe is…," Sonic started to say, and Vector's heart started to pound. Storm was also getting nervous. "Vector. You only got one vote," Sonic finished. Vector sighed in relief, but a Pepsi can hit him in the face, and exploded Pepsi all over him. "Storm, it's time to go," Sonic told him. "Aw man," He said, sounding defeated, as he dragged his body to the boat. "Man, that bird almost killed me today," Wave said to herself, taking a sip of the cold Pepsi.
