I'm out of rock jokes and just beginning jokes in general again. I promise to have one in the next episode. So Sonic and Shadow have awakened the contestants already, and everyone is lined up. "Alright, contestants. You have now made it to the final seven. That means the teams will now be broken up. For now on, you are competing for immunity for yourself," Sonic said. "Now, today's challenge is a boot camp challenge. Shadow and I have constructed a boot camp for you to go through, and you must complete the challenges provided. If you give up or are last to complete the challenge, you lose," Sonic explained, and everyone groaned, not wanting to use so much energy today. "Now, Shadow will be your drill sergeant. Meanwhile, I get to suntan and watch you guys suffer. Good luck to you guys!" Sonic said, bolting away. Then, Shadow in a military sergeant outfit came up to them with a megaphone. He then screamed into the megaphone, "ALRIGHT, MAGGOTS! LISTEN UP! YOU WILL LISTEN TO EVERYTHING I SAY, OR YOU WILL BE UP FOR ELIMINATION? UNDERSTAND?!" After he yelled it, everyone nodded and saluted him. "ALRIGHT, FOLLOW ME!" Shadow commanded, and guided them to the first challenge.
The first challenge was a long mud pit, full of wooden rods sticking out and from the sides to stop the contestants from reaching the end. "The first challenge is a mud crawl. Crawl through this mud pit and reach the end, or you will be up for elimination," Shadow explained, and held up a .44 magnum in the air, loaded with a bullet. "When I fire, you go," Shadow said, and everyone got into position. 3,2,...1. Shadow pulled the trigger, and everyone started to crawl through the mud. Unsurprisingly, Espio was the fastest, but Wave was a close second. The slowest was Cream. Espio kept blazing through the obstacles with ease, and finished in under a minute. Wave finished around One minute thirty. Silver finished in around three minutes. Tails and Robotnik were both crawling through at the same time, but Tails finished faster than he did. Tails got around three minutes, and Robotnik got around three minutes fifteen. Vector and Cream were taking a longer time, but ultimately, Vector beat Cream, getting around five minutes. Cream got around Five minutes thirty. "Cream, you are out of the challenge, and are at risk of being eliminated," Shadow told her, while she wiped off the mud off her face and clothes. "Rest of you maggots, follow me," Shadow commanded to the others, and they proceeded to the next challenge.
The rest of the contestants didn't have the time to clean themselves off from the first challenge, so it would only get dirtier and harder from here. "This next challenge is simple. Crawl through the barbed wire, and then climb up the rope on that wall. The last person to complete is disqualified," Shadow explained. "Is that actual barbed wire?" Tails pointed to the barbed wire and asked nervously. "We had you crawl through mud. You thought we would get this from Walmart or something?" Shadow answered. Everyone gulped but got ready anyway. Shadow pulled out the .44 magnum again and shot the pistol, and everyone started to crawl through it. Tails was wiggling through, but it was really painful, the sharp barbed wire cutting his arms and legs. Espio was somehow managing, but Wave, on the other hand, was having major trouble crawling through. Robotnik and Vector too were struggling. Espio got out first and ascend above the wall. Vector then got out and climbed the wall as well. Espio finished in around three minutes, and Vector completed it around three forty. Silver was the next person to get out of the barbed wire and climbed up the wall. He finished around Four minutes ten. Tails got out and climbed up the wall. He finished exactly at five minutes. Robotnik finally managed to get out and climb up the wall as well. He finished Five minutes forty. Wave was the last to escape, having cuts all over herself, and mostly dragging herself out of the barbed wire. "Wave, you are out of the contest. Rest of you, follow me," Shadow commanded, and the contest dragged on.
The next challenge was a parkour challenge over a small lake. Wooden pillars poked out of the water, with platforms on them for the contestants to jump on. "Alright, maggots, listen up. The next challenge is a parkour challenge. You must cross this lake while jumping onto the platforms. If you fall into the water, you are disqualified," Shadow explained and pulled out the gun again. He fired it, and everyone began hopping on the platforms. Of course, Espio was the fastest and kept blazing through. Silver and Tails were following behind of Espio, and the two slowest were Vector and Robotnik. Robotnik soon tripped and fell in the water, making him last. Tails was about to pass Espio, but he was going faster than he could handle and also tripped. Espio then finished in around five minutes. Silver finished in around five minutes twenty. Tails had swam back to the start and began doing the parkour again, but Robotnik was still swimming. Vector finished in around seven minutes. Tails was about midway when Robotnik restarted. While everyone was doing the challenge, Shadow was drinking a fruit smoothie. "Man, I love my job," Shadow said to himself, as he took another sip. Long story short, Tails finished in around ten minutes and Robotnik finished around fourteen minutes fifty. "Robotnik, since you came in last, you are disqualified. The rest of you, you know what to do," Shadow said, and the rest of the people followed Shadow to the next challenge.
The next challenge had four rocks with a path in front of them that led to a red circle. "Congrats, idiots. You managed to get to pass three obstacles. I hope that one million rings are still worth it to you," Shadow said to them. "No… It really isn't to me anymore," Vector said while panting. "Well, you signed a contract, so you still have to suffer. Now, in this challenge, you have to push your rock to the end of this path and to the circle. If you do, you move on. If you don't, you know what happens," Shadow explained, pulling out the gun yet again. He shot the bullet, and everyone started to push their rocks. Surprisingly, it wasn't Espio who was in the lead, it was Vector. Silver was close behind him, Tails in third, and Espio in fourth. Silver started to catch up though, and Vector and Silver both reached halfway. Vector reached the end first and ended it around seven minutes. Silver got around seven minutes twenty. Espio had been beaten by Tails, who got around ten minutes. Espio got a whopping fifteen minutes. "Espio, you are out of the challenge. You three, we must continue on," Shadow said, and off they went to the wonderful wizard of Oz-, I mean to the next challenge.
When they reached the next destination, they were surprised to find nothing there. "Uh, where is the next challenge?" Silver asked. "The next challenge is test of endurance. You will keep doing pushups until someone stops. Then, the last two people will compete in the final challenge. Now, drop on the ground and keep giving those pushups until someone quits," Shadow ordered, and everyone got onto the ground and kept doing pushups. After ten pushups, Vector was already getting tired but still kept going. Everyone did around twenty pushups before their arms started to get weak, but kept going. At twenty-five, Tails' arms were shaking under so much stress. Silver was still going strong though. Finally, at thirty-seven, Vector collapsed to the ground. "Good job you two. Follow me to the final challenge," Shadow ordered, and they went to the final challenge of the day.
The final challenge was an obstacle course. "Alright, maggots. The final challenge will be the hardest challenge you have faced today. First, you will jump over seven hurdles, and then run the maze of wooden spikes. Then, climb up the ladder on the wall, and climb down the wall on the other side. Finally, run through the field, and cross the finish line. If you complete it before the other person, you win immunity for tonight," Shadow explained. Silver and Tails got into place. "3. 2. 1. Go," Shadow said, and Silver and Tails started to jump over the hurdles. Tails was faster, and managed to jump over the seventh hurdle, and started to run through the maze of spikes. Silver finished and also ran through the spikes. Silver exited the spikes, and then rushed towards the wall. Tails also found the exit and ran towards the wall as well. Tails was just barely behind him, and they both climbed up the wall. Tails finished faster than him and climbed down the wall, and started to run down the field. Silver then finished climbing down the wall as well, and he rushed to catch up with Tails. Silver caught up with Tails, and they both were going as fast as they possibly could, trying to outrun the other. Tails was just barely ahead and almost crossed the finish line. Silver saw this, and made a last-ditch attempt, and leaped forward besides Tails. Silver just barely beat Tails, and Silver won immunity. "And Silver wins the challenge!" Sonic announced as Silver sat up from the ground, out of breath. "That means no can vote Silver out. But, Silver, you can still use your vote tonight. See you all at the campfire tonight," Sonic said, and the camera cuts to the campfire.
Now that the time has passed, the ceremony is about to begin. "Hello, contestants. Welcome to your second time at the campfire when you are not on a team. Now, as I said, Silver cannot be voted for, but Silver can still vote for someone," Sonic explained. "Now then, today's prizes are plastic straws," Sonic said, pulling out six plastic straws. "Really, that's all you could've got. We went through a whole boot camp where we crawled through mud, barbed wire, and went through obstacle courses and all you got were straws?" Wave asked, sounding very frustrated. "Wave, why do you always complain?" Sonic asked her back. "Whatever," was all Wave replied with. "Now then, go ahead and vote for the person you want to have eliminated," Sonic said, and it cuts to static. Did we get more ads today? No? They're coming in tomorrow? Oh, ok. So, we are still out of ads, so we'll just cut back to the campfire. "All of you have voted. Alright, the first-person safe is Silver, who has immunity," Sonic began, tossing him a straw, which he caught. "The next person safe, with zero votes, is Vector," Sonic continued, throwing him a straw. "Alright!" Vector yelled, catching the straw. "Final person with no votes is Wave," Sonic said, throwing her a straw. "At least I didn't get any votes," Wave said under her breath, catching the straw. "Ok, next person safe is Eggman. You received one vote," Sonic said, throwing him a straw, which he caught as well. "Next person safe is Tails, you got one vote too," Sonic announced, throwing him a straw. He didn't catch it though and hit him in the face. "Ow," Tails said when it hit him. "Wait, that means-," "Cream, Espio. One of you will be going home tonight," Sonic said coldly to them, and both were shaking. "The last person safe is…," Sonic started to say, and Espio's heart was pounding. He never came close to losing, let alone being on the bottom two. Cream too was nervous, she worked hard to get here, and didn't want to lose again. But also, what was more worrying, Tails would not be able to handle her leaving. "Espio, you got two votes," Sonic finished, throwing him the last straw. "Phew…," Espio said, catching it. "Oh, thank goodness, Espio. I thought I would lose you too," Vector said to him. "Cream, it's time for you to go. Again," Sonic said to her. "Ok, I guess I'll-," "WAIT!" someone yelled, interrupting her. Tails then stood up. "Don't make her leave," Tails told Sonic. "Sorry, Tails. I know you don't want her to leave, but rules are rules," Sonic explained to him. "Don't have her leave. I'll go for her," Tails told Sonic, making everyone shocked, even Sonic. "Um, Shadow, can we do that?" Sonic asked Shadow, turning to him. Shadow was sitting in a chair, still drinking that smoothie. "I thought you were the host, and I was the co-host," Shadow replied to him. Sonic turned back to Tails. "Uh… you sure you wanna do that?" Sonic asked him, and Tails nodded. "But before I do…," Tails said, turning to Cream. He pulled out a locket, and put it in her hands. "Remember me," Tails told her and walked away. Shadow then got up and walked towards the boat, where Tails and Shadow got on and left the island. Cream still stood there, the locket in hand. "Welp, that sums that up," Sonic said, and left the campfire. Everyone else stood there for a while, but eventually, they left to go back to the cabins to sleep. Cream still stood there for a little longer, and then opened the locket. It was a picture of them, smiling in the dock. She closed the locket and walked slowly back to the cabins.
