Friday Night Funkin:
Obstacle Overdrive!
Week 1/Aka Episode 1:
Rise of the Spirits!
The Mid-City Qualifier. A massive metal structure lit by neon blue and purple lights sits over a pool of dark water. The crowd is chanting.
"RISE! ABOVE! RISE! ABOVE!"
Matt/Announcer:Next up,a duo that’s been turning heads from the streets to the stadium. They call themselves the Jungle Spirits. Give it up for Keith and Pico!
Keith and Pico stand at the starting line. Keith is bouncing on the balls of his feet, adjusting his cap. Pico is standing still, eyes narrowed, scanning the "Shrinking Steps" and the "Mega Wall" at the end.
Keith gave Pico a sharp,confident nod.
Keith:Beep!
Pico smirked at Keith as he checked his gloves,ready whenever he's is.
Pico: trip on your own rhythm, kid. Map’s in my head. We go on my mark.
Matt/Announcer:Three... Two... One... GO!
The buzzer blares. Keith launches first, his movements fluid and "bouncy" like a parkour run. He hits each step with a rhythmic thump-thump-thump. Pico follows a millisecond later,his path more linear and calculated.
They reach a pair of hanging ropes. They have to swing in unison to grab a shared trapeze bar. Pico grabs the first rope and looks back. Keith catches the second.
You watched carefully in curiosity. You always wanted to join in but you're not sure if you are that great at these obstacles or these challenges that await you.
They count off with their eyes. On the third swing, they launch. Keith does a mid-air flip. S bit of "funky" flair and grabs the bar. Pico catches the other side with a loud clack of the metal.
Matt/Announcer:Look at that synchronization! It’s like they’re reading each other's minds!
They officially arrived at the vertical chimney with transparent walls. They jump in, back-to-back. Keith uses his leg strength to push upward, while Pico uses his tactical grip to guide their ascent.
Keith’s foot slips on a wet patch. He gasps. Pico instantly shifts his weight, locking his arms to stabilize Keith. He doesn't say a word. He just nods. Keith regains his footing,his face determined.
They're on the final 18-foot curve as they sprint together. Keith uses his "Rhythm Movement" to build explosive speed. Keith hits the top first,hooks an arm over, and immediately reaches down.
Pico leaps,his hand meeting Keith’s in a loud smack. Keith hauls him up with a roar of effort. As they both scramble to the top,they slam the red buzzer together. The stadium explodes in cheers. Keith throws a peace sign while Pico wipes sweat from his forehead, finally allowing a small smirk to show.
Matt/Announcer:The Jungle Spirits have cleared the course! The rhythm and the route were spot on!
