(Day 0)
A helicopter floated around a large, deserted island, as if doing several fly-bys. The island was covered with lush jungle and beach and several birds flew overhead. After doing some more fly-bys, a camera switched scenes to go to a familiar dock, where a tall man with blonde hair, a red shirt and a dark red vest walked towards it.
"Welcome to the fourth season of Survivor: Central Hub. I'm your host, SSBFreak." The host greeted. "Over the next thirty-nine days, we will be having a competition of survival on this island between twenty different fancharacters from various franchises. At the end of those thirty-nine days, one of those twenty fancharacters will win the million dollar prize and the title of Sole Survivor."
As the host approached the dock, a cruise ship was seen and people were getting off of it one at a time. "However, over the course of the competition, these brave combatants will fall one by one until only one of them remains, and that person will be named the victor. This will be decided by Immunity Challenges, where the losing tribe of fancharacters will go to Tribal Council and vote one of their own out of the game." He continued. "Before we begin, let's introduce you to the twenty fancharacters that are duking it out with each other this time around."
The first contestant marched down the dock, revealing a robot girl with what looked like red, metallic hair and red armour. She had a stern look on her face.
FRAN-CINE – FRIENDLY-CAP
MY LIFE AS A TEENAGE ROBOT
"Well, Fran-CINE. You're a robot, so I hope you can manage in a game like Survivor." SSBFreak said.
"I intend to. I'm the first one here, right?" Fran-CINE asked.
"Yeah?"
"Then there's no harm in telling you. I intend to prove robots' superiority over humans, and I also intend to show my human competition just how weak they can be." Fran-CINE said.
"Well, that IS why we cast you." SSBFreak shrugged. "Go over there for a moment while I introduce everyone else.
Fran-CINE walked to the side as the next person came down the dock. She was shown to be a young-looking woman with dark hair (with purple highlights). She wore a shirt and shorts that were half gray and half purple and wore a bowler hat.
MONGO – COCONUT-MASTER
SUPER MARIO GALAXY
"I hope you're ready for this, Mongo. This is Survivor, after all." SSBFreak said.
"I know that." Mongo said, an eyebrow lifted. "What kind of idiot wouldn't realize this is Survivor? That's what we signed up for."
"You'd be surprised." SSBFreak rolled his eyes.
"What's that supposed to mean?"
"Give it a moment. You'll find out."
Mongo paused, then shrugged, deciding not to press matters further. She walked over to Fran-CINE and stood beside her. Neither of the two spoke.
Coming down the dock next was what looked like a small boy with black hair, a headband and a gray jacket. His most-noticeable features were his huge eyes…
BROCK – SHADOW0KNIGHT
POWERPUFF GIRLS
"Brock, you look a little young. Do you think that will end up playing against you?" SSBFreak asked.
"Not in the slightest. I'm ready for this game and ready to go all the way." Brock nodded with a smirk. "I'll take whatever you throw at me."
"Good to see you're up to the challenge, but it's going to be a rough ride."
Brock nodded as he walked over to the others. He and Mongo greeted each other, while Fran-CINE remained quiet.
The next person came bounding down the dock, revealing himself to be a green and yellow weasel-like creature with earrings and a brown shirt. He looked overly happy.
ROBERT – NECKY221
WINNIE THE POOH
"This is Robert, a Woozle. As you can see, his personality contrasts what we've come to expect from the Woozles by now." SSBFreak said. "You hoping to have a good time out here, Robert?"
"Of course! I can't wait to get this thing started!" Robert said eagerly. "I know I'm going to have fun and I'm sure I'll get along with everyone on my tribe!"
"Just remember that you WILL need to vote people out sooner or later." SSBFreak reminded.
"Yeah, but hopefully, I won't have a hard time making my decisions." Robert nodded as he rushed over to the others. Brock smiled as he greeted Robert, although both Fran-CINE and Mongo were creeped out by now.
The next player to come down the dock was a young girl with green hair and a black and blue striped shirt. She looked a little like a goth, but it was hard to tell.
ERICA – TOTAL FANATIC
JIMMY NEUTRON
"I hope you're okay to do this, Erica. You look a little young." SSBFreak noted.
"You shouldn't be saying that when you consider the young people that did well here before." Erica noted, lifting an eyebrow.
SSBFreak paused, then shrugged. "Okay. You've got me there." He admitted. "So what will you bring to the table?"
"I'm smart, so I hope that my teammates won't overlook me in that department."
"We won't know until we decide the teams. Why don't you go over there and wait for a bit?"
Erica nodded and walked over, deciding to talk to Brock first since he was her height. "At least I'm not the only young one here." She noted.
"I'm sure you'll do fine." Brock nodded.
Coming down the dock next was an older man with red hair, a long nose and a white baseball cap. He had a stupid expression on his face that didn't change.
SALLY – CRAZYBOY3
HARRY POTTER
"This is Sally, and yes, that's his name." SSBFreak said. "So Sally, what's going through your mind right now?"
"Where Vivor?" Sally asked.
"Uh…What?"
"Vivor. I thought the point of this game was to agree with a guy named Vivor." Sally said. "Isn't that what the show's called? 'Sure, Vivor'?"
SSBFreak blinked a couple of times. "Hey, look! There's some people over there! Why don't you go talk to them?"
"Oh! Great idea!" Sally said as he walked over to the other contestants.
Mongo could only stare dumbfounded. "Holy crap, he wasn't kidding." She said.
The next contestant was a tan-skinned woman with short, black hair and dark glasses. She wore a red top, dark pants and what looked like a red shoulder-pad, although it looked made of metal.
ANGELA – WILDFOX03
FALLOUT 3
"You should feel right in your element out here, Angela." SSBFreak said. "Heck, it'll probably be easier for you to survive since there's nothing out here trying to kill you."
"It's good to hear that, but I hope there will be SOME element of challenge out here." Angela said. "I didn't get to be a survivor in real life for sitting around a campfire, you know."
"I assure you, things will get difficult."
"Good." Angela said, forming a slight smirk as she walked over to the others and scanned them over.
"Hiya! I'm Robert! Hoping we'll have fun out here at all?" Robert said as he stepped up first.
Angela blinked, but decided not to press matters and walked past the cheery Woozle.
Coming down the dock next was a small panda girl with a pink shirt and blue pants. Her eyes were sparkling and she looked like a Japanese anime character.
CHLOE – CHARMYNUTTY
DRAWN TOGETHER
"Chloe, I understand that you're a Hello Kitty parody. What do you think your assets are?" SSBFreak asked.
"You kidding? I'm just CUTE! But I don't think people want to mess with me." Chloe said, her mouth moving out-of-sync with her words. "I have the potential to make people regret their choice of words around me."
"Well, we'll have to see about that if you have to cross that bridge." SSBFreak said.
Chloe nodded and walked over to the others. Sally stepped up first. "Oh! You're one of those 'Pan-derp' things, right?" He asked.
Chloe giggled. "You're kinda stupid, aren't ya?" She said cutely.
Fran-CINE leaned over to Mongo. "I hope he's not on my team." She noted.
Mongo smirked. "I dunno. I kinda hope he's on MINE." She mused, already thinking up ideas.
The next contestant was a red-haired fox girl with a blue top and cargo pants. Brock blinked in confusion, as he had seen someone that looked like that before.
AMY – FULLMETALKONPAKU
TINY TOON ADVENTURES
"You're one of this season's strongest players, Amy. You hoping you can get by with your strength?" SSBFreak asked.
"Sure, but I've got other skills as well." Amy said with a smirk. "If people see me as an asset because of my strength, then hey, I'm all for it."
"Well, I hope you can deliver. Just go over there and wait for the others for now."
Amy nodded and walked over, easily spotting Brock. "Hey, Brock. Long time, no see." She greeted.
Brock's eyes suddenly widened in recognition.
The next contestant was a gangly man with brown, spiked hair and a red shirt. He strolled down the dock in a laid-back posture.
DANGLARS – ORANGE-RATCHET
WACKY RACES
"Danglars, Survivor requires an impressive skill set to last. Do you think you can deliver?" SSBFreak asked.
Danglars gave a nod. "Of course I can. I wouldn't have come here if I wasn't comfortable that I could do it." He said.
"Oh, really? Judging by where you come from, I would have thought it was a dare or something." SSBFreak said with a smirk.
Danglars frowned. "Hey, I haven't been involved in any dares or anything!...Lately." He said as he walked past the host.
Chloe looked up at the tall man. "Wow! Hi, tall man!" She greeted.
Danglars looked down. "My. You're a cute one." He admitted.
Chloe giggled. "You know it! I like you!"
Angela lifted an eyebrow and glanced at Mongo, who simply shrugged.
Coming down the dock was a white-furred monkey with brown paws. People noticed that he wasn't wearing anything.
KENDALL – BALOO-LOUIE
JUNGLE BOOK
"I hope you're planning to impress out here, Kendall." SSBFreak said. "The last time we had a monkey on the show, it didn't end very well for him."
"Believe me. I know how to improve on what he did wrong." Kendall said. "I don't intend to go out first, you know."
"Just making sure. What do you think you can do to ensure your survival?"
"Like I'm going to tell you." Kendall said as he walked over.
Angela appeared to be in thought as Kendall came over. There was obviously something about him that bothered her…
Coming down the dock next was a tall, blonde girl wearing a cowboy hat, a red top and denim Daisy Dukes. She looked cheerfully, although not to the extent of someone like Robert.
COREY – SWSU-MASTER
HARVEST MOON
"Tell me, Corey. Are you in your element here or out of it?" SSBFreak asked.
"Oh, Ah'm in mah element, alright." Corey said in what sounded like a Southern drawl. "Ah mean, Ah had ta spend three nights in the chicken coop one time, and not because Ah wanted ta, but Ah HAD ta since Ah heard footsteps in mah house one night and was too afraid to go back in. Ah mean, if Ah had known it was mah dad sleepwalkin', Ah woulda stayed put, but…"
As Corey continued to talk, SSBFreak checked his watch. She kept talking.
"And then there was that time a cow kicked mah kid brother in the head. Golly, it prob'ly took about three weeks fer the cow's hoof ta heal properly." Corey said.
"Uh…If you don't mind, Corey? I need to introduce the remaining players." SSBFreak said.
"Oh! Sorry about that, y'all. Ah ramble sometimes." Corey chuckled as she walked by.
When Corey arrived at the others, she eagerly grabbed Danglars' hand and started shaking it, comically shaking him around as well. "It sure is nice ta meet y'all!" She greeted.
The next contestant was another shorter player, revealing himself to be a gray mole wearing green overalls. He didn't appear to be wearing much else, although people noticed that his right eye appeared slightly glazed over.
ZEG – GRANTEE-77
EPIC MICKEY
"Zeg, I know that you're half-blind. Do you think that's going to hinder your progress?" SSBFreak asked.
"Absolutely not. I'm still pretty strong despite my short stature, so I don't see how being half-blind would hold me back." Zeg insisted.
"Just making sure you know what you're getting yourself into." SSBFreak shrugged. "You can go over there and introduce yourself if you want."
Zeg nodded and walked over to the others. While most greeted him cheerfully or without hesitation, a few of the others appeared to be a little apprehensive about him.
"What good would a half-blind guy do?" Kendall mused.
"I DID hear that, you know." Zeg pointed out.
The next contestant was a green alien of short-to-moderate stature with large, red eyes. He wore a dark green shirt and wore a pair of beige pants. Despite his appearance, he looked relatively friendly.
RIDDLE – JOHNKRICFAN
INVADER ZIM
"Welcome to Survivor, Riddle. So what brings you here on this adventure?" SSBFreak asked.
"I hope to seek the answer to a riddle that has been bothering me: Is it possible for someone like me to survive in the wild for thirty-nine days?" Riddle replied.
"Well, I guess we're about to find out." SSBFreak nodded.
"It will take a long time, but I WILL answer this riddle." Riddle replied as he walked by the host and over to the others.
"Oh! You like riddles?" Sally asked. "I've got one that's been bothering me. What's black and white and red all over?"
"Uh…That would be a joke. Not a riddle." Riddle replied. "And by the way, the answer is a newspaper."
Sally blinked. "But paper isn't red…" Several of the others did a collective facepalm.
A small monkey came down the dock next. She was wearing a pink jacket and an orange skirt. Her light brown fur was done into two pigtails. As opposed to Kendall, who was lanky, she was relatively small.
ANKE – TINYHAMMER/TINYROCKET
SUPER MONKEY BALL
"You sure look excited, Anke." SSBFreak said to the clearly-excited monkey.
"Oh, yeah! This is awesome! I can't wait to get started!" Anke nodded. "When do we begin?"
"I've just got a few more people to bring in. Go over there for a moment, will you?"
Anke rushed over to the others and made a beeline for Chloe. "Oh, man! You are SO totally cute!" Anke said happily.
"I know! Thank you!" Chloe said, also happily. "You look pretty cute yourself!"
The two girls continued to excitedly compliment each other on how cute they were as almost everyone else looked uneasily at each other.
The next person to come down the dock was an older, balding man with a beard. He was wearing a headband, a polo shirt and some shorts. He looked pretty cheerful from first glances.
GARY – SIVEL SAVVY
WALLACE & GROMIT
"You're one of our older players this time, Gary. You think that's going to hurt you?" SSBFreak asked.
"If it does, it does. I'm sure I'll make the most of whatever comes at me." Gary shrugged with a smile.
"You sound pretty optimistic now." SSBFreak noted.
"I'm not one to get mad." Gary replied as he walked by. "I'm sure I'll get along with people."
"I don't like him already." Angela shook her head. "He's WAY too positive."
"And they AREN'T?" Amy asked, pointing at Robert and Corey.
"Touche."
Everyone stared with wide eyes as the next contestant hovered down the dock. It appeared to be a faceless robot with blue and silver trim, with a mechanical claw on its side. It didn't appear to have any legs, and was hovering mere inches off the ground.
KENAL – KING-OF-DIAMONDS
DR. WHO
"I still can't believe a Dalek expressed interest in coming on the show." SSBFreak said. "But you ARE a humanized Dalek, right?"
"Of course. I am not here to destroy humans." Kenal replied. "I am simply here to try and win to show that it is possible for a race of humanized Daleks to be around."
"Well, you put up with enough where you come from because of the Dalek reputation." SSBFreak shrugged. "Hopefully, you'll impress people here."
"I certainly hope so." Kenal said as he hovered over to the others.
"It took almost the entire cast, but finally another robot." Fran-CINE sighed.
"Wow! Cool arm!" Robert said as he looked at the claw at Kenal's side.
"It will allow me to carry things around and participate in lifting challenges." Kenal explained.
The next contestant was a lanky girl, or at least what looked like a girl. She had dark hair that covered a lot of her left eye, but people saw that her eyes were simply buttons, and her fingers were inhumanly long and gangly.
SAMANTHA – PIKACHAO-OMEGA
CORALINE
"Well, Samantha. You ready for this?" SSBFreak asked.
"Of course. When do we begin?" Samantha asked with a smile.
"In just a few minutes. I've just got two more people to introduce." SSBFreak said. "You can go over there and talk to the others until then."
"By all means, take your time." Samantha said as she walked over to the others.
Sally blinked. "Hey. You got something in your eye." He pointed out.
"Uh…I know." Samantha replied.
Danglars lifted an eyebrow and turned to Riddle. "Does she have button eyes?" He asked.
"Indeed she does. Most perplexing…" Riddle mused.
"Yeah…Whatever that means…"
The penultimate contestant came walking down the dock, revealing a teenage brunette girl to the others. She was wearing a yellow shirt and a pink skirt. She, like Gary, looked cheerful.
TOMATO – HANKDROVER
TOKYO MEW MEW
"Now, before I continue, I need to remind you, Tomato." SSBFreak said. "I know you have that gopher form of yours, but I don't want you transforming in the middle of a challenge. You can transform at camp if you want, but in challenges, you need to be in your normal form."
"Okay. Thanks for that. I was thinking I wouldn't be allowed to transform at all." Tomato nodded as she walked over to the others. "Am I the last one?"
"There's one more, actually." SSBFreak said.
"You have a second form?" Brock asked. "What does it do?"
"I can dig real well." Tomato pointed out. Zeg looked a little uneasy.
SSBFreak looked at his watch. "Where the heck is he?" He asked. "I know he wanted to make his own entrance, but this is just…"
Suddenly hearing a cheer, everyone looked up and saw someone falling towards the ground in a skydive. He hit the dock feet-first with a loud crash, but looked amazingly unharmed. He was revealed to be a brown-haired man with glasses, wearing a green jacket, a black shirt and green pants. He placed his hands on his hips and struck a pose.
TEMPO – DRTEMPO
MEGAMAN ZX
"ALOHA." Tempo greeted, forming a serious face. A plane was seen flying away in the distance.
Everyone stood in silence, staring at the newcomer strangely. Crickets were heard chirping, despite it being broad daylight.
"Uh…Okay." SSBFreak said. "What was the point in that?"
"I wanted to make a grand entrance, and I'd say I accomplished it." Tempo said with a smirk.
"Right. So what are you hoping to accomplish by playing this game?" SSBFreak asked.
"I'm here to win it, as I'm sure everyone else here is, and have a good time doing it." Tempo replied. "When do we start?"
"Just shortly. You're the last contestant." SSBFreak replied as Tempo walked over to join the others. "Now that all twenty of you are here, I can split you all into teams. If you'll just follow me."
The twenty players followed the host onto the beach and over to where two mats were laying. One was light blue and the other was bright yellow.
"However, we're going to do things a little differently this time." SSBFreak said as he pulled a small bag from behind his back. "In this bag are twenty rocks. I want each of you to pull one out without looking and keep it concealed for now."
One by one, the twenty players reached into the bag and pulled out a rock. They all lined up in two rows of ten in front of the mats.
"Here's how it's going to work. There are eighteen uncoloured rocks, one blue and one yellow. Whoever has the coloured rocks will be the first members of their teams and will choose the remaining members of their tribes." SSBFreak said. "Okay…Reveal!"
Everyone revealed their rocks and saw what they were holding. Most of the players had uncoloured, gray rocks.
"I have the blue rock." Angela said.
"And I have the yellow one." Tempo added.
"Okay. That means that Angela is the first member of the blue tribe and Tempo is the first member of the yellow tribe. If you two will go to your mats." SSBFreak said as Angela and Tempo went to their mats. "Okay. You will now alternate choosing teammates, but remember than you have to choose someone of the opposite gender as yourself, and then alternate. Angela, you go first. Choose a male."
"I'll take the kid with the big eyes." Angela said.
"Brock, you go join Angela." Brock nodded and rushed over. "Tempo, choose a female."
"Gladly. The girl with button eyes." Tempo replied.
"Samantha is now on the yellow tribe."
"Thank you for choosing me so quickly." Samantha said.
"Angela, you can now choose a girl."
Brock quickly whispered something into Angela's ear. "Yes. You may have a point. I'll take the redhead fox girl."
"Amy is now on the blue team." Amy nodded and went over. "Tempo, choose a male."
"I choose the guy with the beard." Tempo said.
"Gary is now on the yellow team." Gary nodded and went over to join the others. Angela, pick a male. Tempo, pick a female."
"The tall one with spiky hair." Angela said.
"The monkey girl." Tempo added.
"Danglars is on the blue tribe, and Anke the yellow." SSBFreak said. "Switch genders again."
"The cowgirl." Angela replied.
"The happy-looking thing in the brown shirt." Tempo said.
"Corey to the blue; Robert to the yellow." SSBFreak said. "Again."
"I'll take the mole." Angela said.
"The panda." Tempo said.
"Zeg to the blue; Chloe to the yellow." SSBFreak said. "Again."
"The robot girl." Angela said.
"The green alien." Tempo said.
"Fran-CINE to the blue; Riddle to the yellow." SSBFreak continued. "Again."
"The other robot." Angela said.
"The girl with the green hair." Tempo said.
"Kenal to the blue; Erica to the yellow." SSBFreak said. "Again."
"The girl with the bowler hat." Angela said.
"The guy with the girl's name." Tempo said.
"Mongo to the blue; Sally to the yellow." SSBFreak said. "By default, that means that Kendall is going to the blue team and Tomato to the yellow team."
The remaining players went over to their mats and joined their new tribes.
"Okay, so for a reminder, here's what we've got." SSBFreak said. "On the blue tribe is Angela, Brock, Amy, Danglars, Corey, Zeg, Fran-CINE, Kenal, Mongo and Kendall. You ten will be the Ventala Tribe."
"Works for me." Danglars shrugged. Most of the others agreed.
"On the yellow team we have Tempo, Samantha, Gary, Anke, Robert, Chloe, Riddle, Erica, Sally and Tomato." SSBFreak said. "You ten will be the Ferren Tribe."
"I've got no problem with it." Gary shrugged.
"You wouldn't." Samantha noted.
"Also true."
"To help you reach your camps, here are some maps. In addition, I'm giving you all flint to start off with, rather than have it a reward in a challenge." SSBFreak said as he tossed a couple of maps and some flint to the newly-formed teams. The original members, Angela and Tempo, caught them. "I'll contact you guys via treemail about any and all future challenges. I wish all of you luck, because remember that you're going to need it."
The two new tribes walked off in opposite directions, following their maps to their new camps and starting the competition officially once again.
"39 Days…20 Castaways…And one Sole Survivor!"
