Suddenly, from behind Charmy’s back, Decoe and Bocoe dropped down from the ceiling. As they landed hard on the ground, they pulled out a small paintball gun each. Charmy, having heard them, gasped and got into a fighting stance.

“Did anyone else hear that?” he said, looking around crazily, but not behind his back.

Charmy: I may not be the best-looking boy, or the best dressed, or the most buff, but I get my butt kicked a lot. Therefore, my senses are totally heightened. I can sense when something’s coming; nothing gets by me!

“Say hello to eternity, little bee!” Decoe grinned, holding his paintball gun to Charmy’s back after Bocoe tapped him on the shoulder. Charmy whipped around, but was not quick enough. Decoe shot him right in the stomach, sending him blasting down to the floor.

“I’m hit, I’m hit!” he cried, pretending to writhe in pain. Then, just at that moment, Tails’ stomach made a loud gurgle. Gasping, he held his stomach and winced.

“Ah, it’s time!” he yelped, running over and standing right in front of Decoe and Bocoe, “Please, take me out, I beg you! It’s an emergency!” He hopped up and down with his tails twitching madly. Decoe and Bocoe both looked at one another with odd expressions, then glanced back at Tails. Slowly, they lifted their guns and fired a weak paintball at Tails’ furry chest.

“Oh, thank you! Thank  you, thank you!” Tails yelped, shaking their hands and then running away, “Make way, coming through!” As he ran past, he barreled into Amy and Sonic and knocked them both down.

Tails: I didn’t think I was going to make it! Man, it’s a good thing we foxes know how to run! Sure, I’m no Sonic, but I’m getting up there…kind of. I even think I could give Shadow a run for his money…in my dreams. Ugh…stomach acting up again…have to go!

Decoe and Bocoe both snickered and drew nearer to Wave and Cosmo, who were the only two left on the team still standing.

“Try your best, you goons!” Wave snarled, standing behind Cosmo and holding onto her like a shield, “You won’t scare US off!”

“Yeah, no kidding!” Cosmo giggled. Then, shocking everyone, she pulled out her own paintball gun from seemingly out of nowhere and aimed it at Decoe and Bocoe.

“Humph, you call that a paintball gun?” they sniffed, leaping up into the air and tossing their puny guns aside, “THIS is a paintball gun!” They were both suddenly holding paint cannons instead of paint guns now.

“Oh…okay then!” Cosmo giggled, tossing HER paintball gun aside and pulling out HER own paintball cannon, “I love this game!” Wave, now completely horrified and confused, slowly started drifting away from the threesome.

“Um…well, I’ll just leave you guys to it then, okay?” she smiled. Then, she quickly turned on her heels and bolted while Cosmo, Decoe and Bocoe stared each other down.

“If I can handle hand-to-paw combat with a grizzly bear,” Cosmo said smugly, “Then I can certainly handle two emotionally withdrawn robot cooks in Halloween costumes who serve a puny excuse for a robot named Bokkun!”

“Who are you calling cooks?” Decoe snapped, firing some shots from his cannon. Cosmo quickly leapt aside and fired some blasts from her own. Decoe dodged, then Bocoe took a turn to fire some shots at Cosmo. Shockingly, one of the blasts hit Cosmo square in the chest. She gasped, then collapsed onto her back, dropping the paintball cannon.

“Oh no!” Bocoe cried, rushing forward and looking down at the plant girl, “I didn’t…did I? She’s not…is she?” Decoe rushed over and looked down at Cosmo as well. The plant girl wasn’t breathing, and her face was emotionless. But then, just as suddenly, she grinned and leapt right up onto her feet, laughing insanely.

“We thought you were dead!” Decoe grinned, enjoying the joke.

“Yeah, I get that a lot,” Cosmo stated, smiling at them.

~~~

“What the heck was that?” Bokkun sniffed, flipping off his monitors in disgust, “Where’s the blood, guts and gore? This is downright kitty stuff! Never mind; I’ll fix it! Hehe, it’s a good thing Doctor Eggman told me how to fight dirty!” The little robot grinned inside his control room and put on a camouflage hat, then prepared to leave.

~~~

Next, after eliminating Cosmo, Decoe and Bocoe stepped over to Amy and Sonic, who were both still “making out” on the floor, having not run away. Sonic was on the bottom, and he easily saw Decoe and Bocoe coming. He tried scrambling away, but Amy, who was on top, was holding him down and kissing his mouth.

“Man…even though we’re robots, we wish we had a love like that,” Decoe sighed, aiming his gun at them. Before Amy could look back, both she and Sonic got blasted down the floor in a huge puddle of green paintball slime.

A bit later, Wave was making her way along a path inside the base on her own, trying to follow her GPS unit. However, she ended up bumping right into Decoe and Bocoe, who grinned evilly at her and cocked their paintball cannons. Screaming, Wave turned and started to run, but both robots followed.

“THIS IS FOR LAST SEASON WHEN YOU PUT LAXATIVES IN OUR FOOD!” they snarled, firing several rounds at her. The green paintballs instantly hit Wave in the back and sent her flying, but as they did, Wave’s wig of feathers got knocked off her head and landed on the floor. As it did, it slowly started to sink down between the storm drain holes that were along the metal flooring.

“MY WIG!” Wave shrieked, looking back and seeing it. She lunged at it and tried to grab it, but it slipped out of her grasp and fell down the storm drain, seemingly lost forever. “NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! NO ONE LOOK AT ME!”

Wave: Ever since my head got shaved last season, my feathers have been growing back all uneven and weird. I’ve tried everything! I’ve tried lotions, lasers, medicines and even some machines from Tails and Eggman! But, it’s all worthless! I’m going to be ugly forever! This…really sucks.

In another part of the base, Marine’s team made their way into a small room. Marine was leading the way and holding out her GPS unit, but was scratching her head in confusion as she did. It was obvious that Vector and Omega were both annoyed, but Tikal didn’t seem to mind as much.

“Um, how did we get here?” Marine asked, looking at Vector for help.

“Uh, if we knew, we wouldn’t be lost,” Vector said sarcastically, glaring at Marine.

“Wow…you are so smart, Vector!” Marine gushed, hugging him, “And so gorgeous, too!”

“A total knockout!” Omega agreed, under Vector’s gem’s spell.

“Yeah, totally gorgeous is right!” Tikal sighed, drooling over Vector. Then, before they could do anything else, the door behind them was slammed shut.

“Sensors were too much focused on Vector to catch this trap,” Omega hummed, turning around and shaking his head, “Omega is not happy at all…does not compute.”

From outside the door, Decoe and Bocoe both grinned and attached a hose to a small pipe on the outside of the room. They winked at one another, then turned the nozzle to the left. As green paintball concentrate gushed through the hose and into the pipe, the sprinkles inside the room turned on. All four members of Marine’s team were drenched right away from head to toe.

“Being covered with green slime…does not compute,” Omega muttered, angrily blasting the sprinklers off with his rocket cannons.

“My hair is ruined!” Marine snapped, looking very angry.

“Ah…this feels just like the swamps near Station Square,” Vector moaned, rubbing the slime all over his body, “It feels so nice!”

“It looks even better!” Tikal sighed, accidentally becoming enchanted once more by Vector’s gemstone.

Tikal: You know what? Leaders are people, too! We stare at them and listen to them, but they’ve got feelings just like the rest of us. They’re got hopes and dreams. My dream is to marry a very wonderful and cute guy…like Vector! My tribe once said that if you concentrate really hard, one day all your dreams will come true!

Blaze, Silver, Shadow and Knuckles all finally found the boiler room. They peeked their heads inside and immediately saw a bunch of “alien eggs” in the center. Grinning, they all quickly sneaked inside and closed the door behind them. On the other side of the room was yet another door which was marked “Exit”.

“We made it! I knew we’d win,” Shadow sneered, closing his eyes.

“Easy there, ultimate life form,” Knuckles muttered, “We still have to get the alien eggs to the trailers. Blaze, let’s lower you down and you can get them for us; you’re the tallest, after all.” Although Silver frowned angrily at this, he didn’t stop them. Knuckles gently lowered Blaze down into the center as she grabbed for the eggs. As she did, Shadow’s GPS unit started yelling out “DANGER! DANGER” once again.

“Hurry up, Blaze!” Knuckles yelled, “Decoe and Bocoe are going to find us soon!” Blaze nodded and tried to pick up an egg, but when she did, it burst apart in her hands.

“Ugh…have they never heard of fake props?” she complained, reaching for some more. She finally got some and tossed them up. Shadow, Knuckles and Silver all caught an egg and held an extra one for Blaze as Knuckles dragged her back up. Then, just at that moment, Decoe and Bocoe burst into the room with their paintball cannons aimed.

“QUICK, GO!” Shadow yelled, pushing the others out of the way just in time as he got blasted head to toe with paintballs. As the black hedgehog was about to yell at them to save themselves, he discovered that they had all already ran out the door. Shadow frowned and crossed his arms on the floor, slowly watching the slime drip off his quills. “Talk about gratitude…they’re all going to pay for this.”

Knuckles, Blaze and Silver, after going through the door, were now racing down the film street, heading towards the trailers. However, before they got very far, Bokkun’s helicopter started hovering in the sky over them.

“ATTENTION CASTMATES!” Bokkun yelled down through his megaphone, “THE MILITARY IS NOW HERE TO HELP YOU! HOWEVER, WE CANNOT ALLOW YOU TO BRING BACK ANY ALIEN EGGS!”

“But we need the alien eggs!” Silver argued, angrily pointing up at Bokkun, “That’s what you said!”

“YOU’RE RIGHT…I DID SAY THAT!” Bokkun laughed. At that moment, Decoe and Bocoe both made their way up behind the three castmates, still holding their paintball cannons. However, up in Bokkun’s helicopter, he suddenly released two slime bombs down onto the street.

“INCOMING!” Knuckles yelled, “EVERYONE, TAKE COVER!” Quickly, Decoe, Bocoe, Knuckles, Silver and Blaze all tried to find a place to hide. The bombs hit a second later and exploded into a huge blast of green slime. Bokkun quickly closed up his helicopter doors and watched the slime harmlessly smash itself into his windows.

“Hehe…I’m sure glad that I don’t have to clean that up!” he snickered, looking down at the mess that he had just caused. From over near the side, Knuckles, Decoe and Bocoe had all failed to find a place to hide, and all three got blasted hard. Decoe and Bocoe were both groaning and laying in a huge puddle, while Knuckles was heading back into the middle of the street, drenched in the green slime. From behind two nearby barrels, Silver and Blaze came walking out.

“Does this mean I’m out?” Knuckles said in a somewhat-whiny voice.

“Too bad, so sad!” Blaze teased, sticking her tongue out at Knuckles, “I guess that you’ll be missing out on the money, tough guy!”

“Oh, snap!” Knuckles grinned, “The kitty isn’t so pretty and nice, is she?” As Blaze and Knuckles grinned at one another, Silver was growling nearby.

Silver: Curse that stupid Knuckles! Oh, look at me; I’m the guardian of the master emerald! Oh, look, I have such great muscles! Oh, look, I have a cool little moon-symbol on my chest! Humph; I love seeing Blaze stick it to that gullible echidna. She’s so awesome, you know? I’d do anything for her.

“Wait…where’s the alien eggs?” Silver asked, looking around.

“I see one over there!” Knuckles said, pointing over to a plank overhanging Decoe and Bocoe’s heads, “I’m on it!”

“No, I’M on it!” Silver snarled, angrily pushing Knuckles aside and starting to run and get the egg. Suddenly, however, Blaze meowed and started sounding frantic.

“Oh no…where’s my necklace?” she cried, “My mother gave it to me for good luck; it must’ve been blown off in the blast!” Silver halted in his tracks and looked back. He easily saw the necklace right away; it was starting to slip down the drain. However, the egg on the plank was starting to tip over as well, meaning it would smash soon. Silver looked back and forth between the egg and necklace, looking very nervous. Finally, he lunged over and grabbed Blaze’s necklace just before it dropped out of sight.

Blaze: I know this is going to sound really girly, but I was seriously touched when Silver chose my necklace over the egg. Most guys would’ve gone for the win.

“Personally, dude, I would’ve gone for the win,” Knuckles sniffed, shaking his head in disgust at Silver, “Oh, and did you forget that you’re psychic? You could’ve gotten BOTH of them at once, you know!” Silver glared at him, and then watched as the egg dropped off the plank and cracked open on top of Bocoe’s head.

“Sorry about the egg, Blaze,” Silver said with a sigh, handing her the necklace.

“It’s okay…thanks for saving my necklace,” the cat purred, “But…you keep it, okay? It suits you and it might bring you good luck.” She put the trinket around the hedgehog’s neck, and Knuckles immediately rolled his eyes and muttered the word, “Girl” under his breath. From the helicopter, Bokkun slowly made his way down to the street with his jetpack.   

“You three gave it a valiant effort,” he said honestly, “But, you’re all still losers! Hehe!” Silver, frowning, quickly looked around for something to hit Bokkun with, but saw that there were still two eggs left! They were sitting next to Decoe and Bocoe, completely unharmed and intact.

“Not so fast, Bokkun!” Silver grinned, using his psychic powers to pick up the eggs and bring them over, “I think my good luck charm is just kicking in right now!” As Bokkun watched in awe, the gray hedgehog handed one egg over to Blaze, winked at her, then started running off to the trailers with the cat and echidna in close pursuit.

“WE’LL GET YOU NEXT TIME!” Decoe and Bocoe yelled, waving their fists weakly as they got to their feet, slime dripping off their bodies.

“Can’t you two do ANYTHING right?” Bokkun whined, floating over and glaring at the two robots.

“Where’s our money, Bokkun?” Decoe spat back, putting his hands on his hips.

“Yeah, give us our money!” Bocoe roared, glaring at the little robot in front of him. Bokkun gulped, then quickly flew off after Blaze, Silver and Knuckles.

Back at the trailers, everyone else was already waiting. They were still all covered with slime from the attacks, but when they saw Silver and Blaze arrive unharmed, they all politely cheered for them. Knuckles walked close by, but no one cheered for him.

“Well, castmates, we have our two winners!” Bokkun yelled out, floating back behind Blaze and Silver and taunting Knuckles, “Our ONLY two winners! Personally, the rest of you completely stink, and you all need showers!” Everyone glared at Bokkun, who only giggled back. “Anyway, as our two winners, Blaze and Silver will have the power to pick the new teams, which means that they’re going to be competing AGAINST each other this season!” As soon as he said that, Blaze and Silver both gasped and nearly dropped their eggs.

“WHAT? DUDE, NO!” Silver cried, looking at Bokkun with pleading eyes. Snickering, Bokkun looked away and ignored the hedgehog’s cries.

“So, tomorrow, the teams will be picked!” he announced, “But not before we vote off two cast members in the most thrilling Gilded Bokkun ceremony yet!” Once more, every single castmate gasped after hearing Bokkun’s announcement. “Yes, you heard me correctly; I said two! I’m liking the twos today; it must be Tuesday!” This time, everyone rolled their eyes at the lame joke. “Uh…yeah, I don’t get paid to write this show.”

At nightfall, all the castmates gathered at the Gilded Bokkun ceremony. They all sat down in the wooden bleachers in front of a huge stage with a podium. Around the stage were large, dark curtains, and soon, fireworks exploded in the air as Bokkun made his entrance to the podium.

“Welcome, castmates!” he yelled into the microphone, “It’s time to cast your votes. Under your seats you’ll find your voting devices. Just press the button of the person you want voted off. On, and no peeking, or else you’re out of here, hehe!” Charmy had attempted to peek over at Shadow’s voting, which had prompted Bokkun to make that announcement. In less than 10 seconds, all the votes had been cast.

“Okay, people, your votes have been cast!” Bokkun called out, “One by one, I’ll read off the names of the people who get a Gilded Bokkun award. The two who do not get rewards must immediately walk down the carpet walk of shame and leave on the lame-o-sine!” He had a hard time saying his little speech, since Decoe and Bocoe had both appeared onstage, each holding a small tray of six golden Bokkun awards. However, everyone started roaring with laughter when they saw that the two robots had been dressed up in frilly, pink dresses. Decoe and Bocoe were both growling angrily, obviously not happy about this.

“Okay…Blaze and Silver…you’re both safe,” Bokkun called out, watching Decoe and Bocoe toss out the Gilded Bokkuns. Blaze and Silver each caught theirs and smiled.

“Next is Knuckles,” Bokkun went on, “Then Charmy…and Cosmo!”

“It’s C-SCOPE!” Cosmo yelled, grabbing her award with a frown.

“Fine…C-Scope…whatever,” Bokkun sighed, rolling his eyes, “Anyway, Marine, Vector and Tikal, you’re all safe.” Marine and Tikal both squealed happily and hugged Vector, but after Marine got slammed in the head with her Gilded Bokkun and knocked out, Tikal quickly let go and caught hers, while Vector looked excited.

“Next…is my little dude, Tails!” Bokkun grinned, watching the little fox catch his reward with a smile.

“Thanks, Bokkun!” Tails laughed, “And thank Decoe and Bocoe, too, for doing what the prunes couldn’t.” He grinned and rubbed his stomach as he said that.

“Next…is Shadow,” Bokkun went on, “Surprisingly Wave…and finally…” Everyone looked at the final three members: Sonic, Amy and Omega. Sonic was looking around in complete shock, not really understanding why he was there. Amy kept trying to grab Sonic’s hand, but he kept pushing it away. Omega was expressionless, as always.

Knuckles: I know who’s going down this week…and it serves them right!

Shadow: Humph; at least they’ll have each other.

“…Omega!” Bokkun yelled out, letting Decoe throw the last reward. Omega grabbed his and did an emotionless cheer, while Sonic and Amy both gasped in horrified shock.

“WHAT THE HECK IS WRONG WITH YOU PEOPLE?!?!” Sonic yelled, getting up and facing everyone, “WHY VOTE ME OFF?!?! AMY’S THE ONE WHO WAS SUCH A HUGE PAIN!”

“Sorry, Sonic, but where one hedgehog goes, the other follows,” Knuckles said coldly.

“Yep, just think about it,” Vector snickered, “If Amy gets captured by Eggman, Sonic is always there to rescue her. If Sonic is just running somewhere, Amy is never far behind. And besides, you both are just downright annoying to begin with.”

“Do you have any final words, you two?” Bokkun asked, looking at Sonic and Amy.

“I’LL KILL YOU ALL FOR THIS!” Sonic roared, completely angry.

“Aw, c’mon, Sonic, sweetheart!” Amy sighed, wrapping her arms around Sonic, “At least we’ll be together.” Sensing an eruption, Bokkun quickly looked at Omega and used his eyes to motion for help. Nodding in understanding, Omega quickly grabbed the two hedgehogs in a vice grip and walked them down the red carpet walk of shame.

“LET ME GO!” Sonic yelled, “THIS ISN’T FAIR! I DON’T DESERVE THIS! LET ME GO RIGHT NOW! YOU WANT DRAMA AND ACTION? HOW WILL YOU GET ANY WITHOUT ME?” Despite Sonic’s wailings, Omega opened up the lame-o-sine door and hurled the two hedgehogs into it. As he shut the door and watched the lame-o-sine pull out of sight, he saw Amy kissing Sonic’s mouth through the window.  

“Well, that wraps this up!” Bokkun called out, looking at the camera, “Who will Blaze and Silver pick for their teams? Will Cosmo ever answer to her actual name? Will Tails finally get some lunch?”

“Thank you!” Tails yelled out.

“I guess you’ll have to wait and find out next time,” Bokkun went on, “See all of you loyal viewers later, on Total…Drama…Action!”
