[OLYMPICS IV] Obstacle Course - Printable Version

The ruby grit its teeth as it pulled itself back to its feet, throwing itself forward to begin its climb once again. No, no it had to come in first, or at least place! If it didn't...no, this was supposed to be where it stood out, where it shined the brightest! But desperation had it losing its grip again and it scrabbled helplessly at the rock. It didn't want to glance behind it, it didn't want to look at all the gembounds running past.

It didn't want to know if Master Vargas was watching, because it knew he was and it knew he was going to be disappointed.

As soon as Huckleberry had climbed over the top, he stumbled forward, ready to sprint. But man was he tired at this point, from the climbing, especially, and the exhilaration of it all. He was having fun, he realized, but fun was exhausting and he quickly fell behind as he ran, barely sprinting across the open ground.

Okay, well… Let's take it from the top!

She was pulling herself back up to her feet when a shadow fell across her. She looked up to see a familiar face.

"Thanks." She said, smiling slightly and gently patting the side of Tupu's face with a wing. She really appreciated it, though… she should really try to teach her some other words. It was disconcerting to have 'SORRY' screamed at her, to say the least.

As Tupu moved on, Sorda did her best to follow. She was slightly sore from the fall, but mostly just disheartened. But what was the point at giving up now? After one little fall? The chances of winning now were slim, but she could still finish this.

And, she climbed. It wasnt great, but she climbed. Good enough.

The pup whined, ki-yi-ed in frustration, as she got to her paws again and shook herself off, the electricity that made her fur stand on end starting to really hurt, in all honesty.

She bounded forward, trying to keep going, only to slip on the same damn hairball. Finally, she landed on her rear, turned her nose to the 'sky' and began to cry pitiful little whines.

Round Six has begun!

Final Rush, Like From... Y'know, Sonic Adventure 2

Yew soars cleanly into first place and is the first to touch a Union Pillar - but the contest for second and third place is still going! The pack comes back together, right in time for the end.

It's anyone's guess who wins!
