Two things before we get started: No, there will be no pairings, as I despise romance. Although there will probably be some Amy trying to catch Sonic going on. Secondly, I am open to suggestions regarding challenges. If you have an idea for a cool challenge, tell me in a review and if I do it, you'll get full credit for it. Disclaimer: Ditto.

"Last time on Total Sonic Island…" The Dock of Shame was being shown again, as peppy host Chris recapped the story thus far. "The campers had to find the dreaded FrankenBunny. After a day of near misses, a family conflict, and a Sonic beating, Espio brought in the bunny and won immunity for his team. Fang the Sniper was the first one voted off. Mario was kicked off the island again. Who will be next? Find out today on Total Sonic Island)

(Da, da, da, da! Theme Song Music!)

Amy's POV

"Last night was the worst night, EVER. The cabins are moldy and some guy named Owen left his monogrammed underwear all over the place. Yuck! The beds were hard, the blankets were drafty, and you can hear Sonic snoring in his sleep from all the way across the campground."

Sonic's POV

"I don't snore!"

*Goes to the night camera that was recording last night. It zoomed in on Sonic who was snoring so loudly that a female moose mistook it for a mating call and started licking his head.*

"Good morning, campers," Chris greeted the 15 unhappy campers, who grunted, moaned, and/or gave him veiled death threats in reply. "We've got a busy day planned, but first: breakfast. Oh, Chef!"

Chef walked through with a bucket full of some foul-smelling gruel. He spooned out a bunch an dumped it on each camper's head, then he walked off.

Now that breakfast is over," Chris continued, among cries of: 'Yuck!' 'Gross!' and 'I'll never get this gunk out of my fur!' "It's time for today's challenge. It's a drama play."

"Oh, please," Metal Sonic muttered under his breath.

"Each team will be given 45 minutes to make a drama skit based on a cheesy cartoon. The cartoon is entirely up to you, but whatever it is it must have a hero, a villain, a sidekick, and a damsel in distress. The hero must win, and EVERY member of your team must have at least a small part. The team with the best drama wins immunity tonight. And: Begin!"

Mephiles' POV

"If I shoot Chris, can we leave?"

Team Sonic Heroes' preparation:

"Ok, I'm the hero, of course. Amy's the damsel in distress, and Tails is my sidekick. Knuckles'll be the bad guy," Sonic said.

"Wouldn't it make more sense to make Shadow the villain?" Espio asked.

"No, I've got something even better in mind for Shadow…"

Team Sonic Villains' preparation:

"So I guess I'm the good guy, because no one else wants to be," Eggman finally conceded. "Mephiles gets to be the bad guy, Scourge is my sidekick, and blah, blah, blah. Looks like we have all the roles necessary except for the damsel in distress."

Black Doom raised his hand and cleared his throat. "Um, we have no dames—I mean, damsels."

"Well…" Eggman looked over at Metal Sonic in a way the android wasn't entirely sure he liked. "We'll just have to improvise."

45 minutes later, Chris and Chef were sitting in front of the stage set they'd had the interns make, awaiting the first play. After a while, Silver stood on the stage and cleared his throat. He went into an obviously rehearsed speech.

"The old west. Where lawless villainy wreaked havoc on the poor westerners. So cries rang out for a hero. And no hero was greater than the great El Kabong!"

The curtain raised to see Sonic the Hedgehog, dressed in a black cape, a black hat, and a black mask. He had a sword made out of paper mache by his side, and in his other hand he had his Kabonger—a guitar.

"EL KABONG!" Sonic screamed, hitting the guitar on the ground.

"With El Kabong was his faithful sidekick, Bubalooey." Silver continued.

Tails walked on stage, sporting a sombrero. "Hello," he said, waving at Chef and Chris.

"Bubalooey, look at what I found!" Sonic showed a newspaper to his faithful friend.

"It's an ad," Tails said. " 'Wanted: One great hero to defeat the evil tyrant, Don Don. What's we do, El Kabong?"

"We shall rid that town of that infamous Don Don! Quick, Bubalooey, to my faithful steed!" Sonic rushed to the other side of the stage and disappeared. He reappeared riding his faithful steed—Shadow the Hedgehog, who was on all fours like a horse. The ebony furred hedgehog glared as Sonic kicked his middle. "Giddy Up!" Sonic ordered.

Gritting his teeth angrily, Shadow slowly and painfully walked across the stage and off the other side. Then Sonic ran back on, alone.

"Well, here we are, Bubalooey," Sonic said. "At the nameless lawless town, being terrorized by the evil Don Don."

"Look over there, El Kabong!" Tails pointed across the stage, where Vector, Amy, and Knuckles had just appeared. "Don Don has that damsel in distress tied up next to that tree!"

The tree was Vector, who had been so caught up in his music they couldn't actually get him to play any parts.

Knuckles looked around, threw his hands up in disgust, and yelled, "This is stupid—I quit!" and stomped off.

Sonic looked at Chris helplessly. The host shrugged and said, "You're losing points for that."

"Ah…obviously Don Don had a decoy…Don Don is definitely a CHAMELEON!"

Espio poked his head out from behind the curtain and whispered, "I thought I was the grateful village person."

"You've been promoted—get out here!" Sonic whispered back. Espio shrugged and walked onstage.

"Ah ha! We meet at last, Don Don!" Sonic said, taking his paper mache sword and swinging it around. The end of it tipped down, unable to support its own weight. "Prepare to meet your—oomph!"

The last word was the result of Espio sweeping Sonic's feet out from under him, grabbing his arm before the hedgehog fell, and flipping him so he landed on his stomach.

"I thought the idea was to let ME win, Espio!" Sonic hissed.

Espio blinked. "Oh."

Sonic painfully got back on his feet, and raised his Kabonger, hitting Espio on the head with it. Espio just stood there with a confused look on his face.

"You're supposed to fall because of the agonizing pain, Espio!" Sonic reminded him.

"But it didn't hurt," Espio said.

"Espio!"

"Oh…alright." Espio did a horribly over-dramatic death scene and fell down. His leg twitched.

Sonic glared at him. "Everyone's a comedian," he said sarcastically.

Amy walked away from the Vector Tree and started swooning over Sonic.

"Ooh, you're so strong and handsome and brave and handsome and smart and handsome," Amy cooed, practically drooling. "How can I, a brilliant and gorgeous supermodel, ever repay you?"

Sonic started laughing hysterically. "Oh, man, Amy," he said when he could suck in enough air to talk. "You actually said 'brilliant and gorgeous' like you actually meant it!"

Amy's jaw dropped. "WHAT!" She screamed, grabbing Sonic's guitar and hitting him over the head with it.

"Hey!" Sonic cried, rubbing his head. "I'LL do the Kabonging around here, and don't you forget it!"

Amy hit him again.

"Aw, come on, Ames," Sonic pleaded, as the peeved hedgehog girl chased him offstage.

Silver and Tails, who now found themselves standing onstage with nothing to do, grabbed Vector and walked off.

Chris shrugged. "What the heck. I'll give them a 4 for effort."

Chef nodded.

"Well, let's see if the villains can beat it."

Bean the Dynamite was shoved onstage. "Who is this masked marvel?" he asked. "Sarge, the police chief?"

Ix raced on stage, shook his head no, and raced off.

"Rosemary, the telephone operator?"

A rope that was laying across the stage started to be pulled, and a bound and gagged Metal Sonic with a blonde wig was dragged across to the other side. He was obviously struggling to get away.

"Henry, the mild-mannered janitor?"

Eggman walked on stage with a mop. "Could be," he admitted. Then he started singing horribly off-key. "Hong Kong Phooey, number 1 super guy. Hong Kong Phooey, quicker than the human eye. He's got style, a groovy style, and a car that just won't stop. When the going gets tough he gets super rough with a Hong Kong Phooey CHOP! Hong Kong Phooey, number 1 super guy. Hong Kong Phooey, quicker than the human eye…"

Bean suddenly jumped in front of Eggman and started break dancing as he did the be-bop section of the theme song. "Chuga chong, chuga chong ckukka bop bop bodda bodda bing bang bong…"

One of those crooked hook thingies appeared and grabbed Bean by the neck, yanking him off stage.

Eggman stood there, blinking awhile, until he remembered what he was supposed to say. "Uh…Hong Kong Phooey. Fannnn-rific!"

Ix, the still bound Metal Sonic, Eggman, and Scourge (who had a pair of cat ears tied to his head) all walked onstage.

Metal Sonic, who was still gagged, yelled something, that, though muffled, probably wouldn't be conductive to the rating. His fellow actors, however, simply improvised.

"What's that Rosemary?" Ix said. "The evil Professor Shrinky has escaped from the Prison for the Criminally Tiny? Ooh, ooh, if only Hong Kong Phooey was here!"

Eggman leaned over to Scourge and said, "You hear that, Spot? Quick to the filing cabinet!"

Ix walked off stage, and Metal Sonic was forcibly dragged offstage, still ranting thankfully unheard threats. Eggman and Scourge raced over to a filing cabinet, and Eggman tried to get inside, only he was too fat to fit. Scourge gave an apologetic chuckle and tried to force Eggman inside, but it was a no go. Finally Eggman simply ducked behind it and put on a bathrobe, although you could still see his big fat gut. Then he shook the cabinet and yelled, "Hey, this door is stuck again! I'll need to use my super chop!"

Scourge reached over and tapped the cabinet. Eggman yelled and jumped out from behind the cabinet. "Ha, ha! I guess that showed that. Come on, Spot."

Scourge followed Eggman offstage.

Mephiles and Black Doom walked on stage. "What is your evil plan this time, Professor?" Black Doom asked.

Mephiles turned his evil gaze at the alien. "I swear, if you call me by that ridiculous moniker Eggman gave me, I will TEAR OUT YOUR EYEBALLS AND FORCE YOU TO EAT THEM, DO YOU UNDERSTAND ME!"

Thoroughly cowed, Black Doom nodded humbly.

Mephiles lit a match. "My plan is to burn this entire stage to the ground so I will no longer be forced to participate in this trash." And then he dropped the match, setting the stage on fire.

The campers rushed away from the stage as it burst into a huge fireball. Bean laughed maniacally and started doing the shuffle, singing, "Burn, baby, burn!"

Chris and Chef looked at each other and grinned. "Villains win the challenge!" Chris called.

"WHAT!" The heroes proclaimed in unison.

"All the villains participated, and they even had a song number. Sorry heroes, I'll see you at the elimination campfire tonight," Chris said, walking off.

Mario showed up in Shakespearean garb and started acting. "To eat, or not-a to eat. That is-a the question."

"Fool!" Chef yelled. "The question is: How many times can I knock you three ways from Tuesday?" Then Chef chased Mario back onto the Boat of Losers.

Espio's POV

"What is the point of such a challenge, I ask you?"

Tails' POV

"If you ask me, this is Knuckles' fault for not participating."

That night, the Sonic Heroes were the ones around the campfire. Chris held out the Safety Marshmallows.

"I have 7 marshmallows and there are 8 of you. Whoever does not get a marshmallow must walk the boat of Shame, leave via the Boat of Losers, and leave the island forever. And you can't come back. Not even for a visit. When I call your name, come get your marshmallow." Chris held the first marshmallow up and called, "Shadow."

Shadow calmly grabbed his marshmallow and sat down.

"Amy."

Amy squealed and grabbed a marshmallow.

"Tails."

"All right!" Tails cheered, taking a marshmallow and shoving it in his mouth.

"Silver."

"Yes!" Silver said taking his marshmallow.

"Espio."

Espio appeared out of thin air and spiked a marshmallow with his katana. Then he disappeared again.

"Knuckles."

The echidna smirked and grabbed a marshmallow.

"One more marshmallow. Two campers."

Sonic looked at Vector, who was doing an air drum solo.

"And the last marshmallow of the night goes to…Vector."

Sonic's jaw dropped. "You're voting me off?" he gasped. "Why?"

"Because we hate your guts, Faker!" Shadow snapped.

"Vector, come get your marshmallow."

Vector didn't move.

"Vector?"

Ditto in the no moving department.

"Hey, if he don't want it, I'll take it!" Sonic suggested.

Chris frowned, then shrugged. "Works for me, dude," he finally conceded, throwing Sonic the last marshmallow. Then Chef dragged Vector off, who to this day doesn't know what Total Sonic Island is, or that he was ever on it.

Have any of you guys watched the Quick Draw McGraw cartoons featuring El Kabong or the Hong Kong Phooey shows? Oh, man, there's the way to get your daily dose of cheese. RR, please.
