Survivor: Greed Island
Day 0
Host Jet Black (Cowboy Bebop) stands on the shore of Greed Island from the Hunter x Hunter world. There are two speedboats on their way toward the beach.
"Welcome to Survivor: Greed Island!" Jet says. "This season, we'll play the battle of the ages, as younger contestants go up against older contestants! These contestants will have to adapt or they'll be voted out. 39 days, 16 players… 1 Survivor!"
Eight younger players arrive to shore on a boat. They look determined and focused as they get off the boat.
"I'm back on Greed Island," Killua Zoldyck (Hunter x Hunter) says. "Gon and I beat Greed Island, but this is a totally different game. It's going to take a whole bunch of strategy to pull this off, but I'm ready for it. And I don't think the other players will realize it even after I've slit their throats."
"I've been through a lot with Night Raid, so this'll be simple!" Leone (Akame ga Kill) says. "I know how to get along with a big gang of misfits. I expect to make friends quickly and fit in well with my tribe!"
"Being Mr. Saito's maid is nice," Siesta (The Familiar of Zero) says. "But Mr. Saito allowed me to go off to this game while he and Louise are on their honeymoon. I hope to bring back a lot of money to them and then continue to serve as his maid!"
"This will be fun!" Hinako (Sister Princess) says. "Hina is only 6 years old. Hina is the youngest contestant in Survivor history! Bro-bro said going on Survivor would be fun, so Hina brought along Mr. Teddy Bear to keep her company!"
"This should be absolutely dandy," Dandy (Space Dandy) says. "I expect an absolutely dandy time in my time away from space, where I go about my dandy time in space. These should be spectacular and dandy adventures for a dandy guy like me… away from space."
"Is this like making a band?" Yui Hirasawa (K-On!) says. "I know that my time at the Light Music Club has led me to doing things I never thought I could do before. Maybe I can make new friends like I have with the Light Music Club!"
"I'm ready for action!" Suguha Kirigaya (Sword Art Online) says. "I'm skilled in kendo, so physical challenges should be no problem for me. But I won't let anyone know; I'm going to be disguised as my Alfheim Online alter-ego Leafa. I'll look so innocent and cute that people won't realize what a threat I am. This will be my plan toward winning this game!"
"Is it wrong to try to pick up girls while playing Survivor?" Bell Cranel (Is It Wrong to Try to Pick Up Girls in a Dungeon) says. "I'm looking for an adventure. I may be young and inexperienced, but I've got lots of energy, and that's got to be great for challenges!"
The eight younger players take their spot on the black mat. Then another boat comes in with eight older players, who begin to get off it.
"I am simply one hell of a Survivor player," Sebastian (Black Butler) says. "I have come here to win challenges, drink tea from winning those rewards, and then take home the bacon. Because if I didn't come out here and win Survivor, what kind of butler would I be?"
"Brazil is one thing, but this is something else," Michiko (Michiko & Hatchin) says. "Every day in Brazil it's something new. This is totally different, I've got to do more than just ride my motorcycle. Hatchin's off with the circus while I'm playing this game. She'll be fine; I have to make sure I'll be able to bring her home a lot of dough."
"I'm actually a lot older than I look," Biscuit Krueger (Hunter x Hunter) says. "But I'm disguising myself like this so the other players think I'm sweet, cute, and innocent. Hopefully my plan works! If not, I've got to plan my escape."
"My daughter Satsuki was a miserable failure at this game," Ragyo Kiryuin (Kill la Kill) says. "She reached the Final Three and came up two votes short. That is complete and utter disappointment. I hope she learns a thing or two by my performance in this game, as I shall win easily."
"They said I was in the 'older people' tribe," Goku (Dragon Ball Z) says. "I guess it's because I'm a grandfather. I don't know, I just want to fight someone! Or at least get in some training! And we've got to win some challenges, because I love to eat!"
"I'm taking a vacation from teaching!" Yukari Tanizaki (Azumanga Daioh) says. "I told the school I was going on strike until they paid me more money, but in reality I'm just using this as an excuse to go on Survivor! Hopefully when I get back I'll have a nice pay raise and a million dollars to go along with it. And then we'll go and win the school field day again!"
"As Hokage, it's not often I get to play games," Tsunade (Naruto: Shippuden) says. "But this should be a challenge. Having to deal with lots of different people is my job. I should be perfectly suited to this game. And despite my age, I'm going to prove I belong out here."
"I know all about mind games," Joseph Joestar (Jojo's Bizarre Adventure) says. "Whether it's dropping pennies into a glass of beer or fighting off a Stand with Hermit Purple. I can outwit anyone out here, and outplay them physically as well. I may be older now, but I'm ready to win this thing."
The older tribe steps onto the red mat, and Jet Black addresses both tribes.
"Welcome to Survivor: Greed Island," Jet states.
Both tribes erupt into cheers. Yukari jumps off Joseph's back into the air, while Dandy pumps his fist and then quickly fixes his hair.
"We are doing young vs. old this season," Jet explains. "You, on the red mat, are all older players. You mentor younger people or have actually given birth to them. You will have to prove that you've still got it. You are the Hunters Tribe."
The crowd cheers again, while Goku looks confused.
"How am I on this tribe?" he asks.
"Silly, you're a grandfather," Tsunade replies.
"I know, but I'm not quite familiar with this 'giving birth' thing. How exactly does that happen again? I seem to not have noticed what I exactly did in order to give birth!"
The other characters facepalm and shake their heads.
"Goku, you're a character," Tsunade laughs.
"I think I can make friends with Goku right off the bat," Tsunade says. "He's a good-natured, good-hearted guy. He and I can get along with each other well."
Jet then addresses the other tribe.
"You, standing on the red mat, are the Ants Tribe," Jet states. "You are all younger, fresher-faced, and inexperienced by comparison. But all of you have your chance at proving that you can compete with the previous generation."
The Ants Tribe cheers and gives each other high-fives.
"Now, as we begin Survivor: Greed Island…" Jet begins to say.
Suddenly, a third boat pulls up to shore, and eight more people begin getting off the boat.
"What the *$%& is this?" Michiko wonders.
Jet chuckles, as the other people walk up to him and stand beside the Hunters Tribe.
"Yes, there are actually three tribes this season, not two," Jet states. "And you may recognize their faces. These are all players looking for redemption – they either quit, or were bribed, or were thrown out of the game."
The other tribes begin to make out which characters were from which seasons.
"I quit in Survivor: Hueco Mundo," Chad (Bleach) says. "The difficult conditions and all the losing got to me. Eventually I just gave up. I'm glad I get my chance to prove everyone wrong about me – I heard a lot of negative things after I quit. Kisuke threw down my torch and insulted me. I'm going to prove him wrong."
"I quit back in Survivor: Hueco Mundo, but it was for a different reason," Orihime Inoue (Bleach) says. "I didn't want to vote off either Rukia or Tatsuki, so I chose to go home instead of one of those two. People think I'm a quitter, but that's not true! I stayed around a long time in Survivor: Feudal Japan. I can definitely play this game, and I'm going to prove it!"
"Um… I don't know how to say this, but I'm trying to redeem myself," Jasmine (Pokémon) says. "I quit because I was too nervous to be without Silver. Now that Silver's come out here and played a second time, I finally worked up the courage to come out here myself. And now I have a chance at redeeming myself. This time I won't quit, no matter how hard it is!"
"I am, once again, the greatest Pokémon trainer in the universe!" Giselle (Pokémon) says. "I regained my crown from Iris, who had won the championship three straight years. Now I'm back on top, as a 10-time Pokémon League champion! Oh yeah, and I quit the first time I was here. So what. I got a little hungry and gave up. But not this time. I will show everyone that the great Giselle can win Survivor too!"
"Ash Ketchum is, without a doubt, one of the lowest scumbags on the planet," Gary Oak IPokémon) says. "He tricked me into believing that I did something awful to him, when in reality he kept it a secret that I hadn't hurt him at all! Then I quit because I felt so bad about what I thought I did to him. This is my third chance at playing this game. This time around, I get revenge for what happened with Ash!"
"Jet talked me into playing again," Faye Valentine (Cowboy Bebop) says. "I have no use for this game. All I want is some more Woolongs. If I have to be bribed again, I'll do it. I don't need this game for anything, I just want the dough."
"I am the infamous Loly Aivirrne!" Loly Aivirrne (Bleach) says. "It is true that I micturated in my tribe's rice the last time I was here. I don't have any intention of doing that this time around. No, my actions will be far worse than before. I will make everyone's lives miserable for the entirety of my time on this island. Jet Black will rue the day he chose to give me a second chance!"
"Queen Cynthia has allowed me one last chance at coming out here," Lucian says. "She says that if I don't win, she will have my head on a silver platter. Very much like what happened to Sabrina. She has Sabrina's head hanging like deer antlers up on the wall of her castle, her green hair hanging down. I don't want to have my head hanging next to hers."
The eight tribe members stand on a snot-green mat. The two other tribes begin eyeballing who they are up against.
"You on the snot-green mat are the Quitters tribe. You all quit in one form or another," Jet Black says. "You are all getting another chance at this game, for reasons that go beyond my pay grade. I don't choose the contestants, I just host them. Our producers apparently felt that you had something to offer. As a result, you're back, with a chance at redemption."
"And we won't let you down!" Giselle exclaims, to laughter from everyone.
"Before we start this season, I want to take the time to have a moment of silence," Jet Black says. "Sabrina, Saffron City gym leader and alum of Survivor: Shamouti Island and Survivor: Crazy All-Stars, was brutally murdered by Cynthia since our last season. Cynthia had Sabrina beheaded, and for that, Cynthia will never be allowed to play again. Sabrina is the first player in Survivor history to die, and for that, I think we should remember her in a moment of silence."
The players all look down, spending a minute to think about Sabrina.
"Thank you. Now, onto this season. We are starting the season with a challenge. For today's challenge, you will run up a cargo net to the top of a tower. Your tribe will pull up a cart on a track to the top. You'll then get all eight tribe members in that cart and ride it like a roller coaster, careening into a pile of sawdust. Once there, you'll choose one of three mazes: a rail maze, an obstacle maze, or a traditional maze. The first tribe to get there gets their pick, the second tribe will get second pick, and the third tribe gets what's left. You'll take that maze and run it up into a tower and lock it in, where you will then try to get three balls into their slots."
Yukari rubs her hands together, while Leafa claps.
"Wanna know what you're playing for?" Jet asks.
"Yeah!" everyone screams.
"First two tribes win the right to participate in this game," Jet says. "The third tribe… is out."
Everyone gasps. Hinako grabs on to Killua in fear.
"It's the biggest opening-day stakes in the history of Survivor."
The players start murmuring to each other. Joseph leans over to Bisky.
"We gotta win this or else," he tells her.
"I'll give you a minute to strategize, and then we'll get started," Jet says.
A few minutes later, the players are lined up at the start.
"For the right to participate in Survivor: Greed Island!" Jet shouts. "Survivors ready? Go!"
The players attack the cargo net, climbing up it. Goku makes it up easily, with Ragyo, Bisky, and Tsunade right behind him for the Hunters. For the Ants, it's Killua, Leone, and Bell up first, then reaching back to help their tribemates get up to the top. The Quitters have Chad and Faye reach the top first, while Jasmine is struggling and Lucian is bumbling.
"Gotta get all eight players to the top before you can start pulling your cart!" Jet screams.
The Hunters get all eight to the top first. The Ants are struggling, with Yui and Hinako slowing them down.
"Hinako, take my hand!" Leone tells the small girl.
Leone pulls Hinako up the net, while Yui scrambles to get up to the top. Meanwhile, Lucian and Orihime are the last ones up for the Quitters.
"Once everyone is up, start pulling those carts up!" Jet yells.
Ragyo and Joseph are the first to start pulling the rope for the Hunters. With Goku and Bisky joining in, the Hunters have a huge advantage in strength. They get their cart up to the top first.
"Hunters have their cart up! You can jump in now!"
Thinking that Jet was talking to everyone, Dandy goes ahead and jumps in the Ants' cart as Bell and Killua are in the process of pulling it up.
"No, Dandy! Not you!" Jet shouts. "Get out of that cart!"
"Huh? Me?" Dandy says.
Dandy gets out of the cart, with Killua seething.
"Get up here and help us!" Killua exclaims.
As Dandy gets back up to the top, Chad and Gary have yanked the Quitters' cart up to the top.
"Quitters, go ahead and jump in!"
The Hunters and Quitters both get everyone in their carts, with the Hunters having a slight advantage. Both tribes' carts splash into the sawdust. The Ants are still pulling their cart up to the top.
"Hunters reach the bottom first! Choose a maze!"
Michiko and Yukari both point at a maze, but they are different ones.
"Let's take the obstacle maze," Michiko says.
"No way! We gotta go with the rail maze!" Yukari exclaims.
"You have to pick only one!" Jet shouts.
Ragyo breaks in, making the choice for them.
"We shall go with the obstacle maze," she states.
"Very well then," Jet says. "Take your maze and start pulling it up. Quitters, you're next."
"We'll take the traditional maze!" Gary shouts.
"No!" Giselle yells. "We need to go with the rail maze!"
"Too late!" Gary exclaims, grabbing the traditional maze and taking off.
The Ants tribe then comes crashing down into the sawdust.
"You guys are stuck with the rail maze," Jet tells them, and Killua quickly grabs the remaining maze.
The three tribes start hauling their mazes up toward the top. The Hunters take a lead in getting theirs to the top, with Joseph and Goku's strength paying dividends. Chad's brute strength also helps, as he gets the Quitters' maze up to the top shortly after the Hunters' makes it there.
"Once you've got your maze up, lock it into place!"
Sebastian and Bisky rush to take their maze and lock it into place. Chad and Faye get the Quitters' maze in shortly afterward. The Ants are dragging behind the other two tribes.
"Get to work on those mazes!" Jet shouts. "You've got to get three balls into slots!"
It's Giselle and Jasmine controlling the Quitters' maze, while it's Yukari and Michiko working on the Hunters' maze. The Ants finally get their maze to the top, and Killua and Leone rush to lock it in place.
"Ants finally getting their maze in!"
Jasmine tries to help Giselle with the maze, but Giselle pushes her out of the way. She then begins to bring the ball down the maze, but the ball slips off the course very early on.
"Giselle, struggling from the get-go!"
Giselle again tries to get her ball through the maze, while the Hunters get through their obstacles. Yukari skillfully puts the first ball into its slot.
"Hunters with their first ball in!"
Siesta and Leafa are trying the rail maze, but they find that it has a steep learning curve. Their first three tries all go awry.
"Ants having a really tough time out there!"
Giselle looks like she's about to get the ball through the maze, but just before she gets it to the end, she slips and the ball rolls off.
"Giselle continuing to struggle! Maybe she needs help here!"
Giselle looks annoyed. "Shut up, Probst."
"Let me in!" Gary exclaims.
"No way!" Giselle replies. "I got this!"
Meanwhile, Yukari is perfect on the obstacle maze. Taking over from Michiko, Yukari has full command of the maze, and she puts the second ball into its slot.
"Hunters with two balls in! One more ball and they're in the game!"
Leafa starts to get the hang of her maze. Siesta steps aside as Leafa gets the ball down the ramp and into the first slot.
"Ants have one in now!"
Giselle continues to struggle on her maze. She looks all out of sorts, and Gary starts to get really annoyed.
"That's it, let me have it," Gary says, pushing his way over to the maze.
Giselle pushes back. "No way, I'm going to win this thing!" she exclaims.
As they argue, Leafa gets the ball right down the ramp. She then skillfully guides the ball into the slot on the left.
"Ants with two balls in! Quitters yet to get a ball in! This could be a very fast challenge!'
Yukari guides the ball recklessly through the maze. Just like the way she drives a car, she doesn't brake at all, and she gets the ball quickly toward the hole.
"Remember, it doesn't matter if you finish first or second, just that you don't finish third!"
Yukari's ball slips off the maze, forcing her to go back to the start. Meanwhile, Gary has taken over from Giselle, but neither of them can get it going.
"Quitters looking like they have no shot at this challenge!"
Gary finally gets a ball through the maze, then tries to get it into one of the holes. As he does, Yukari rushes her ball through the maze and toward a hole.
"Yukari could win it right here!"
Yukari maneuvers the maze… and the ball goes in.
"Hunters win the right to play in this game!"
The Hunters tribe begins to celebrate. Yukari is jumping up and down, while getting mobbed by her tribemates.
"Looking for one more!"
Leafa slides the ball down the ramp. It goes quickly down… then rolls right into a slot.
"Leafa scores! And that's it! Ants… win the right to play in this game!"
Leafa pumps her fist, then Yui and Bell rush over to congratulate her. The other Ants celebrate as well. Meanwhile, the Quitters look on with disgust.
"All right, we have our two tribes: the Hunters and the Ants," Jet states. "As for the Quitters, you guys are now out of this game. How does it feel to have failed like this, Gary?"
"It's tough," Gary says. "I never thought we'd be out this quickly. I thought we'd find a way to win. Now it's over for us."
"How about you, Giselle? You failed with the maze, and now have cost your whole tribe."
Giselle puts her hands on her hips. "I was getting the hang of that challenge!" she says. "It's that stupid Gary that cost me a chance at a win!"
Jet rubs his hands together. "Okay, Hunters and Ants. Before I send you on your way to camp, I'm going to give you the opportunity to improve your tribes. If you want to improve your tribes, you may swap one of your players for one of the members of the losing tribe."
Everyone gasps. The Quitters immediately turn from defiant to desperate.
"Pick me! Pick me!" Giselle exclaims.
"Okay, we'll pick you!" Yukari says out of nowhere.
Jet grins. "If you want Giselle, you must choose a woman to switch her with, and it must be unanimous."
The other players on her tribe look aghast. "There's no way we're going with Giselle!" Michiko exclaims. "You saw what she just did!"
"Hey, I didn't see you helping with the challenge!" Yukari replies.
She then turns to Tsunade and whispers. "She looks like a schoolgirl, and I'm a teacher. I should have no trouble in controlling her."
Ragyo then breaks in. "She has a lot to learn, like my daughter. Surely she should be a big help to our tribe."
"But who are we going to kick out?" Michiko wonders.
"You," Ragyo replies.
"Me?" Michiko says.
"Host, we are bringing Giselle into our tribe and kicking out Michiko," Ragyo states.
"What?!" Michiko says.
"Is that a unanimous decision, Hunters?" Jet asks.
Sebastian silently nods his head. Goku shrugs his shoulders. Joseph also nods, and the other female characters agree.
"Very well then, Michiko and Giselle, swap places."
Giselle skips her way over to the Hunters, while Michiko disgustedly walks away.
"Anyone else want to swap?"
Leone speaks up. "This guy here wasn't all that helpful in the challenge," she says, pointing to Dandy. "I say we swap him out for that guy over there who was doing the maze for his team."
"That'd be me," Gary says.
Killua looks suspicious, but agrees. Dandy looks aghast.
"How could you not want a dandy guy like myself?" he wonders.
"Anyone in disagreement?" Leone asks.
Killua senses something wrong about it, but he nods his head. Leafa also looks a bit suspicious of Leone, but she also agrees. The other characters seem clueless as to Leone using this as a chance to control the tribe. They all agree to Dandy being ousted.
"Very well, then," Jet says. "Gary and Dandy, you two swap places."
Dandy looks confused as he walks over to the Quitters, while Gary smirks as he makes his way over to the Ants.
"Okay, we have our two tribes," Jet states. "Hunters, here are your red buffs. Ants, take the black buffs. You on the snot-green tribe, you don't get any buffs, because you are out of the game."
Jet tosses the buffs to the two tribes, who pass them out.
"Now, Quitters, and that includes Michiko and Dandy, I have an offer for you. Right now, you are not in this game. You can choose to quit right now and go home, just as many of you did the first time around. Or you can choose to go the Badlands. The Badlands are exactly what they sound like, a desert with minimal shade and little water. Killua knows all about them, because he trained there for a while."
Killua nods his head from the sideline.
"If you choose to go to the Badlands, you will live there with meager supplies. At a certain point in the game, you will have the chance to re-enter the game. Until then, you will have nothing to do but think. This will be a test of your mind – can you stay out here without losing your mind? If you want to stay, come grab a buff, because I actually do have some snot-green buffs after all."
Jasmine and Orihime immediately rush over to grab a buff. Loly looks furious, but she decides to get a buff too. Faye and Chad reluctantly go over to take buffs. Michiko, Dandy, and Lucian stay put.
"So, you three, do you choose to quit the game?"
"No one on my tribe wants me anyway," Michiko says. "What's the point of playing? I'm just going home to see Hatchin in the circus."
"I agree, this game isn't for a dandy guy like me," Dandy says. "I'm just giving up while I'm ahead."
Lucian looks upset. "I know that if I quit now, Queen Cynthia will probably have my head. I just can't quit."
He then walks over to Jet and takes a buff.
"I don't want my head mounted next to Sabrina's," he says. "Let me in this game."
"Very well," Jet states. "You six Quitters will head to the Badlands, where you will wait. At any point, if you have had enough and want to quit, call for me and I'll come get you. Head on out. Our other two tribes, the Hunters and Ants, here are maps to your new homes. And Michiko and Dandy, I got nothing for you. Per your wishes, go home."
Michiko and Dandy walk away in shame. The Quitters head toward a vehicle that is ready to take them to the Badlands. The other two tribes get their maps from Jet, and head off to their new camps.
"This tribe is a bunch of *#$%," Michiko says. "For them to choose Giselle over me is simply a joke. I don't have anything good to say about them. What a bunch of losers. There's no reason in waiting around, when they'll just vote me out anyway even if I do get back in the game. This season of Survivor could not possibly have gone worse for me."
"This is a dandy game, and it would have made sense for a dandy guy like me to be dandy while playing such a dandy game," Dandy says. "But as it stands, I'm out, and there's no need to waste my spacy dandiness on these people. I'll go back to space where I can be dandy as I go through my dandy space adventures with my brave space crew – in space."
Coming up on Survivor:
Old advantages come into play:
"'Congratulations, you have found Giselle Gravelpot's fake idol from Survivor: Crazy All-Stars.'"
While clues can come from the unlikeliest of places:
"There was a piece of paper stuck in the bear's ear, and I couldn't help but notice it. Now to find out what it says."
And players can be sent to a mysterious land:
"The winning tribe will have one player sent to Masadora. At Masadora, you will find a place that is practically a convenience store for advantages. If you risk your vote, you'll have a chance at finding all sorts of secrets."
