Fox took the last key. Dr. Mario, King Dedede, and Lucas all looked nervous.
"Doc! You are safe, my friend."
Dr. Mario took his key, "Thank you Young Link."
Young Link stood up, "I've nominated both King Dedede and Lucas, obviously. Both of you are heavy saboteur suspects, and I hope by nominating you, I nominated the saboteur. With that said, this nomination ceremony is adjourned."
– – – – –
Everyone got up from the table, and started to put their keys back up on the walls.
"I'm not sure what Young Link is thinking. He should've put Fox up on the block." - Wolf
Young Link went back upstairs, and soon Capt. Falcon and Ness followed him up to his HoH room.
"Got time to talk?" asked Falcon.
Young Link nodded.
Falcon sat down on a chair, "I'm thinking if nominations stay the same; Dedede goes home. No question."
"Lucas' comment about the sabotage, uh, was a quote of shock, in my opinion. Lucas doesn't deserve to be on the block." - Ness
Young Link nodded, "See, people wanted me to put Lucas up against a pawn. But due to the Dedede thing after the saboteur message, I had to put him up, and hopefully point out the saboteur."
"Who's this 'people'?" asked Falcon.
Young Link shrugged, "Can't tell you, or else I'm up on the block next week."
"Young Link says he might've put up a pawn against Lucas. But it wasn't his motive, and he won't tell us whose idea was it." - Capt. Falcon
Ness shrugged, "Very well. But if either one of us win PoV, we're taking Lucas down."
Young Link shrugged back, "Okay, but one of you will be going up against Dedede if you do so."
Capt. Falcon waved his hand back at him, "Dude shut up, Dedede is gone as gold as long as he doesn't win the PoV."
Both Falcon and Ness left the HoH room.
"Young Link has made two enemies right now. If me or Ness win HoH, he's going on the block." - Capt. Falcon
– – – – –
Ness and Falcon took Dedede aside.
"We want Dedede to feel like he isn't going home, and make him feel comfortable." - Ness
"I can guarantee you," started Falcon, "That you won't be going home this week, and if I or Ness win PoV, we'll use it on you."
King Dedede smiled brightly, "You will? Sweet! Thanks!"
"It's good to know that you have two allies on your side!" - King Dedede
"Lucas is going home anyway, even if no one uses the veto." noted Ness.
"Is he that worthless?" asked Dedede.
Capt. Falcon nodded.
"Wow." replied Dedede.
"We got King Dedede so convinced that he's staying, I felt like God for a moment there." - Capt. Falcon
– – – – –
Young Link was up in his HoH room talking with Fox.
"So Wolf wanted you to put me up against Lucas?" repeated Fox.
Young Link nodded.
"Wolf is after my butt, no surprises there. He might be the saboteur, just by judging how evil he is." - Fox
"The reason I told Fox Wolf's plan, is because I rather not have to side with Wolf. I don't trust him at all." - Young Link
"See," said Fox, "I think he's trying to blame people of being the saboteur, so that he isn't a target."
"Who else thinks that?" asked Young Link.
"Mario, Luigi, and I think Kirby all think Wolf is the saboteur." replied Fox.
Young Link nodded, "Really?"
Just then Wolf entered the room.
"Fox, what the hell are you doing in here." muttered Wolf.
"Can ask you the same thing," muttered Fox back, "also, why are you blatantly blaming people of being saboteur and then going to Young Link, and tell him what to do?"
Wolf was shocked, "I am NOT picking people out to be saboteur! Lucas and Dedede are the most suspicious ones of the bunch! Even if neither one is the saboteur, at least one of them is going home!"
Fox rolled his eyes.
"Keep blabbing Wolf, because the target on your back will increase with each mouthful you say." - Fox
"It's also real cute that you tried to tell Young Link to put me up." chuckled Fox.
Wolf was more angrier then ever.
"Listen up you little rat!" yelled Wolf at Fox, "The nominations will stay the same, no matter what! If you win the PoV, I doubt Youngy here will put me up! So why bother!"
Wolf stormed out of the HoH room, leaving a laughing Fox and Young Link.
"Tch, whatever. Fox can say whatever, he won't last long. Just gotta keep these nominations the same for right now." - Wolf
Wolf went down the stairs and saw Lucas at the table.
"He's done next week, Lucas," said Wolf, panting, "He's done."
"Who?" asked Lucas.
"Fox! He's the saboteur! He's blaming me just because I'm his enemy!" yelled Wolf.
"Wolf is thinking Fox is the saboteur. It might save my own skin if I am taken of the block and replaced with Fox. He might go home." - Lucas
– – – – –
Capt. Falcon and Ness were talking with Luigi in one of the bedrooms.
"Young Link threatened us!" said Ness to Luigi.
"Really? Why?" asked Luigi.
"We want Lucas off the block," replied Falcon, "He's done nothing wrong to anybody in this house. He's not even a pawn!"
"Who was the pawn?" asked Luigi.
"He didn't say!" replied Ness, "And now he's gone next week if I or Falcon win HoH."
"Young Link thinks he can control what happens in this house, well we have another thing coming." - Ness
"Luigi, if you can," said Falcon, "If you win PoV, can you please save Lucas?"
Luigi thought about it.
"If I save Lucas, I'll gain an ally in Falcon and Ness. But I don't want Young Link mad at me." - Luigi
Luigi nodded, "I'll think about it, on the meantime, I'd not say anything to anyone else about it."
Falcon nodded, "Don't worry we won't, we've got too much to worry about."
Luigi got up and left the bedroom.
Luigi then went to the HoH room to speak with Young Link.
"What's up?" asked Young Link.
Luigi sat down, "Not sure if you know, but Falcon and Ness want you out."
Young Link nodded, "They said it to my face. I don't like it. Seriously, Luigi, if Lucas or King Dedede come off the block, I'm putting Ness up on the block."
"I can't stand Ness, more then I can't stand Falcon. To me Ness is a serious floater." - Young Link
Luigi nodded, "They've asked me to remove Lucas from the block if I win PoV. Should I?"
Young Link shook his head, "Save Dedede. He'll go home if up against either Lucas or Ness. I want Ness to go home this week."
Luigi nodded, "If I win PoV, I'll do it."
Luigi left the room.
– – – – –
Young Link got out of the Diary Room.
"It's time to pick players for the Veto competition!"
Everyone gathered in the living room.
"Only 6 people can participate in today's Veto competition; the HoH, the two nominees, and 3 other players chosen at random," said Young Link, "May the two nominees join me up here?"
Both Lucas and King Dedede went up to the front of the room.
"As the HoH, I will select first." said Young Link.
He pulled out a coin from the bag.
…
…
…
"Marth." called Young Link.
Marth joined Young Link up at the front.
"I'm not sure if Marth will take Lucas or Dedede off the block. Marth's a floater at the moment." - Young Link
Lucas grabbed a coin out of the bag.
…
…
…
"Capt. Falcon." called Lucas.
Capt. Falcon joined Lucas at the front of the room.
"I'm glad Falcon is competing, as he's trying to save me from the block. I hope he wins if I don't." - Lucas
King Dedede grabbed a coin out of the bag.
…
…
…
"Dr. Mario." called Dedede.
Dr. Mario joined Dedede at the front.
"Dr. Mario is a floater, and I doubt he'll use the veto at all." - King Dedede
"Big Brother will inform us when the challenge will begin," finished Young Link, "Good luck."
– – – – –
Lucas and Luigi were at the table eating slop, due to the storage room still being locked.
"Why did the saboteur have to make us eat slop?" whined Lucas.
Luigi shrugged, "Tasty if you ask me."
"The slop, actually tastes okay. Call me crazy, but it tastes like oatmeal." - Luigi
"Your insane, Luigi." said Lucas.
R.O.B joined them at the table.
"Are you done with your dishes?" he asked.
Lucas nodded, "I can't finish it." He clenched his stomach.
R.O.B shook his head, "Shame."
"Lucas is a wimp. Luigi is eating the slop with ease. Why can't he?" - R.O.B
As R.O.B was washing dishes, the doorbell rang.
DING DONG
"I'll get it." said R.O.B.
R.O.B went over to the door, and opened it.
…
…
…
…
It was Luig!
"Hey guys? What's up?" called Luig.
"Luig was here! I've heard of him, they call him a genius." - Luigi
"Hey guys," said Luig, "I want you to gather everyone up in the living room, please."
– – – – –
After everyone gathered into the living room.
"The Big Brother Raceway is about to begin! Put on your gear, and meet me outside!" called Luig.
– – – – –
The whole back yard was designed to look like a race course. It resembled Mario Raceway in Mario Kart 64, with oil spills and banana peels everywhere.
"The whole backyard took me into a nostalgic flashback of good old racing. Man, those were the days!" - Mario
Luig started reading the rules, "One at a time, you will place yourself in a cardboard cut out of a Kart, and run the race track in 3 laps. The person who clocks in at the fastest time will win the Power of Veto!"
"King Dedede!" called Luig, "Your up!"
King Dedede got up on the race track.
"On your mark, get set, GO!"
It was like watching a turtle move, except a tad faster. Dedede wasn't going very fast, due to his weight.
"Dedede was going so slow, that when I came back from a washroom break, he was still going at it!" - Dr. Mario
"Damn, this just isn't my lucky day, hopefully, I'm still taken off the block by a kind soul." - King Dedede
King Dedede clocked in at 5 minutes, 45 seconds.
"Next up, is Marth!" called Luig.
"Your time to beat is 5 minutes, 45 seconds," reminded Luig, "On your mark, get set, GO!"
Marth started running through the course.
"I didn't want to win the veto, so I tried to sabotage myself so that I couldn't win. But I think that it wasn't enough, in my opinion." - Marth
Marth tripped himself over, and slipped trying to get back up.
Overall though, he clocked in at 2 minutes, 43 seconds.
"Next up is Young Link!" called Luig.
"Your time to beat is 2 minutes, 43 seconds," reminded Luig, "On your mark, get set, go!"
Young darted off the starting line, hoping to win.
"I saw both Marth and Dedede did horrible, so I planned to do well since the current competition didn't do so well." - Young Link
But Young Link wasn't watching where he was going, and kept slipping on oil spills, and banana peels.
He clocked in at 4 minutes, 36 seconds.
"Next up is Capt. Falcon!" called Luig.
"Your time to beat is still 2 minutes, 43 seconds," reminded Luig, "On your mark, get set, GO!"
Using his insane speed, Falcon dashed out, and was doing pretty well.
"Wow! I'd never seen anyone go so fast in my life before!" - Lucas
"All part of my career is racing, my god. I've got this in the bag!" - Capt. Falcon
But his speed posed only one problem...
…
…
SLAM! Falcon ran right into the wall.
"I'm okay." coughed Falcon.
He still clocked in at 3 minutes, 43 seconds.
"Next up is Dr. Mario!" called Luig.
"The time to beat is still 2 minutes, 43 seconds," reminded Luig, "On your mark, get set, GO!"
Dr. Mario ran out, but not too fast, nor slow.
"I do not want to win the veto, or else I will be seen as a threat." - Dr. Mario
Dr. Mario tiptoed around the bananas and oil spills, like a cat.
"Doc is pretty steady with the kart, not sure if he's even trying or just flunking the competition." - Wolf
But surprisingly, Dr. Mario clocked in at 2 minutes, 44 seconds, because he never fell down, like the others have.
"Wow! One second away!" called Luig, "It's down to Lucas!"
"You have to get 2 minutes, 42 seconds or better to win the Power of Veto," reminded Luig, "On your mark, get set, GO!"
Lucas dashed out, and as he was going, he was freezing the oil spills.
"I wanted not to slip on that oil, so I just freezed it!" - Lucas
Big mistake.
Lucas ran on one of the frozen oil spills, and crashed into the same wall Falcon crashed into.
"Agh!" cried Lucas.
He clocked in at 3 minutes, 13 seconds.
"With that, Marth, you are the winner of the Golden Power of Veto!" called Luig.
Luig handed Marth the Veto necklace.
"I'm not happy to win the Veto, and when it comes time for the veto ceremony, I'm not using it. I'm not going to get blood on my hands." - Marth
– – – – –
After Luig had left, Wolf and Capt. Falcon were sitting at the table. R.O.B just handed Falcon an ice pack for his head.
"Thanks." muttered Falcon.
R.O.B nodded, and left to do dishes.
"Nominations will stay the same this week, I think." noted Wolf.
Falcon looked up at him, "What makes you think that?"
"Marth won't use it, are you kidding me? He's a floater, and all floaters will not use the PoV unless their on the block." reminded Wolf.
"Marth winning the veto means that either Lucas or Dedede will be leaving this week. Sucks." - Wolf
"I could work him," said Falcon, "But I doubt it'll work."
"With floaters," said Wolf, "You can never tell."
Falcon nodded.
"We need to save Lucas this week, I think he has the votes to stay, but I'm not sure." - Capt. Falcon
Wolf slammed his fist on the table.
"R.O.B! Get me some slop!" yelled Wolf.
R.O.B's distant voice was heard, "'Kay."
– – – – –
Capt. Falcon left the dining room, and went into one of the bedrooms, and found Lucas reading.
"I'm sorry bud." said Falcon sadly.
Lucas nodded, "It's okay, I mean, I think King Dedede is going home anyway."
"I cannot stand King Dedede. He is a fat pig, and isn't helpful around the house. He just wastes all the slop, and it's all we got to eat right now." - Lucas
"Just gotta pray, you know." smiled Falcon.
Lucas nodded, also smiling.
"I think Lucas is safe going into the upcoming Eviction. I just need to make sure I do not jeopardize his safety." - Capt. Falcon
R.O.B entered the room, carrying two bowls of slop, "Care for some slop?"
Both Falcon and Lucas took a bowl.
"Thank you R.O.B." smiled Lucas.
"No problem." replied R.O.B.
– – – – –
Young Link and Kirby were talking in the HoH room.
"I know Dedede is your enemy, but I want him to stay this week." said Young Link.
"Why do you want Lucas gone?" asked Kirby.
"His alliance is after me, for threatening to place them on the block should they take him down off the block." replied Young Link.
"I don't think you'll stay long in the house by threatening others into doing your bidding." - Kirby
"Who, Ness?" asked Kirby.
"Ness AND Falcon." continued Young Link.
Before Kirby could reply, a note was shoved under the door.
"Hey whats that?" asked Kirby.
Young Link looked over, and saw the note. He grabbed it, and began to read it.
"DEAR YOUNG LINK, THIS IS THE SABOTEUR. I AM GLAD YOU HAVEN'T PLACED ME ON THE BLOCK. I WANT YOU TO RELOOK YOUR ENEMIES, AND THINK ABOUT THEM." - THE SABOTEUR
"The note that the saboteur left me, might be a clue to who it might be." - Young Link
Kirby looked at the note, "I think the saboteur isn't on the block."
Young Link nodded, "Yeah, I agree with you."
Young Link read it over a few more times.
"That's it, I think Ness or Falcon is the saboteur." revealed Young Link.
"Relook your enemies? Is the saboteur purposely trying to make me put him up? Of course he is. Unfortunately, I don't have the power to change the nominations, Marth does." - Young Link
Young Link ran down stairs, and luckily, Falcon was down stairs eating slop.
"Falcon!" yelled Young Link, "Stop trying to fool me!"
Falcon looked at him weirdly, "Huh?"
"Why are you sending me messages through the door?" asked Young Link.
"What? Huh? What is this kid doing? I'm not the saboteur!" - Capt. Falcon
"What in the hell are you talking about?" asked Falcon.
"You are the saboteur! You wrote this message! It looks like your hand writing!" yelled Young Link.
"Pssh, you have no evidence." muttered Falcon.
Young Link shook his head.
"I can't do anything, so I walked away." - Young Link
– – – – –
Just then, the Saboteur silhouette appeared on TV.
Everyone gathered in the living room.
"HELLO HOUSEGUESTS! YOUNG LINK AND MARTH, YOU BETTER WATCH YOURSELVES. MAKE SURE THAT YOU USE THE POWER OF VETO WISELY, MARTH. IT COULD EITHER COST YOU THE GAME, OR MAKE YOU SOME FRIENDS."
Marth raised both eyebrows.
"BUT REGARDLESS, IT'S YOUR DECISION."
The TV turned off.
"Wow, that was weird." muttered Mario.
Both Luigi and Doc nodded.
"Whoever the saboteur is, uh, he'd better grab some shields, because he's gonna be attacked pretty soon." - Dr. Mario
"Watch yourselves," repeated Young Link, "Yeah, Falcon, I'll watch myself."
Falcon raised his arms in the air, "I'm not the saboteur! How many times do I have to say it!"
"I've been wanting the saboteur out since, well, the beginning." - Capt. Falcon
– – – – –
Luigi and Fox were outdoors on the couch.
"This alliance will consist of," began Fox, "You, me, Mario, and Kirby. We'll be the dominant group in the house."
"I wanted to form an alliance with Mario, Luigi, and Kirby; the Nintendo Heroes. Make ourselves a group." - Fox
"I'm down with it, Fox." smiled Luigi, "Does Mario and Kirby know?"
"Yeah, Mario knows, and he's gone to tell Kirby about it." noted Fox.
"I'm glad to be in this alliance with Fox, and Mario too. I think I can go pretty far with them." - Luigi
Falcon soon joined them in the back yard. Fox kept his mouth shut after that.
"Guys," said Falcon, "We need Dedede out at Eviction night. Not Lucas."
"I was planning on voting Dedede anyway," said Fox, "He's most likely the saboteur."
"Honestly I doubt Falcon is the saboteur. I think Young Link just overreacted to the message." - Fox
"Don't worry Capt. Falcon," soothed Luigi, "Dedede will go home this week. Just chill for a while."
Falcon nodded.
– – – – –
After deciding on what he was going to do, Marth called everyone into the living room.
"This is the Veto Ceremony. I have the power to change nominations, and I will give each of you a chance to save yourselves. Lucas, you may go first." said Marth.
Lucas stood up, "Well, Marth, I'm here to play, and I doubt I'm the saboteur. I just made one little comment. So what?"
Lucas sat back down.
King Dedede stood up next, "As for me, Marth, well, I really don't think you will use it but, if you had to, use it on me because I've done nothing wrong to deserve this spot."
He sat back down.
Marth nodded, "Ok, I have decided..."
…
…
…
…
…
…
"...Not to use the Power of Veto. With that being said, this Veto Ceremony is adjourned." finished Marth.
