Thank you to everyone who voted. I got more votes in this chapter than I have for any other chapter. Let's not waste time, we have an elimination and a rejoin to do.

P.S. From here on out, I'm going to be using a randomizer to determine who will win the immunity challenges, just to show I'm not picking sides.


The remaining six contestants were standing yet again, on there podiums. The six eliminated contestants were on six separate podiums. Megaman slowly had his podium rise from the floor up. Cheers from the audience erupted as he pulled out the votes.

"Welcome one and all, to episode eight of The Sole Smasher! Last time, we said good bye to Master Hand for good, and I am now the host for the rest of the season. Everyone was up for elimination, and one of the recently eliminated contestants will rejoin the competition".

"And it is going to be me". Link muttered under his breath.

"This time around, we got an impressive twelve votes. Thank you everyone".

"Are you going to be one of those biased host who try's to help others win *cough* MASTER HAND *cough*?

"Of course not. Otherwise, I'd be out of a job. Now, let's start with the elimination votes. Kirby, Samus, and Captain Falcon, you all received zero votes. Congratulations".

"Yay! I'm at the official halfway point!" Kirby said excitedly.

"Ness, Pikachu, Fox, you all received at least two votes. Ness, you have two votes, so you are safe".

"Phew, can't let down the fans". Ness said smiling to the camera.

"Fox, Pikachu, you both received five votes. Therefore, we will use the randomizer to determine who goes home".

"Oh no". Jigglypuff said to herself.

"Guess it wasn't smart to speak of the alliance". Fox muttered.

"Why did I get five votes?" Pikachu asked.

"The results are in, and the loser is..."

Both waited nervously.

"Pikachu. I'm terribly sorry, but it looks like you're out".

"But I was the only one left from the Pokémon series. I need to stay in". Pikachu said as his podium rose out of the room.

"Now, we get to the rejoin". Megaman looked to the other six as the five still in had their podiums lowered.

"I hope I rejoin". Luigi silently said.

"Congratulations to all! Every one of you received at least one vote". Megaman happily said. Everyone smiled, knowing that they at least had someone rooting for them.

"Now, even though we had twelve votes, we only got eight votes for rejoining. Mario, with one vote, you will not rejoin".

"Why is it that I can never win anything?" Mario groaned as he disappeared for the second time.

"Luigi and Donkey Kong, you two got one vote, and will also not be rejoining".

"How? I'm popular!" Luigi screamed as he disappeared.

"Why me? Why!? Hey look, a banana". Donkey Kong said as he disappeared.

"And lastly, Jigglypuff only got one vote, and will not be rejoining".

"Good luck Fox. You got this". Jigglypuff said right before disappearing.

"That leaves Link and Yoshi, who both got two votes. That means we will once again use the randomizer". Megaman said as he started up the randomizer for the second time in one day.

"We have the results. By a close shave, the returning player is..."

Both Link and Yoshi stared contently.

"Link! Congratulations, you are back in the game!"

"Yes! Yes! Yes!" Link cheered while pumping his fist in the air. Yoshi sighed as his podium disappeared.

"So, to make everything clear, Pikachu has been eliminated, and Link takes his place". Megaman said just to make sure everyone could follow what happened.

"Where's Master Hand?" Link asked everyone.

"It's a long story". Both Ness and Fox said at the same time.

"Now, onto the next challenge". Megaman said to everyone.

"First things first. Link, you are automatically immune for the next voting, but you may still compete in the challenge to keep anyone else from winning. Do you want to participate?"

"Of course I do! I came to win, not to sit back and watch people vote me out again". Link said confidently.

"Well, the next competition is a race from the future, back to the past". Megaman said, making everyone confused.

"What?" Samus asked.

"Here's the deal. I'm going to hold you in a capsule while you guys stay asleep, or in a frozen state as it is called. You will then instantly wake up 1000 years exactly in the future. You will have no memory whatsoever about who you are, who the people around you are, or what the challenge even is. The goal is to get back to this time by finding the time machine that actually works. First person back will win immunity, and will instantly get their memory back without any painful procedures".

"So, we have to find a time machine to win, but we don't even know that we're supposed to. How is that possible?" Ness asked.

"Don't worry. The robotic revolution will push you to get to the time machine". Megaman calmly said.

"How do you know this stuff?" Captain Falcon asked.

"Because that's the time when I was created. I was created by robots, and was the first to test the time machine. Unfortunately, I couldn't figure out how to get back, so I'm here to stay. Plus, I'm going to join you guys, with full memory of course, and I'm not going to say it. But I am going to tell you small hints about what you need to do".

"Wow, a host who will actually do that. Ok, I trust you now". Ness said to him.

"You didn't trust me before?"


After having to deal with a riot from the fans when they were told that they would have to wait 1000 years for the show to start up again, the six plus Megaman were in a room with seven capsules and a few scientist in the room.

"We're ready". Megaman said to them.

"Ok, please choose a capsule and get in it". One of the scientist said, to which everyone responded.

"Is this going to hurt?" Kirby asked.

"Getting rid of your memory would hurt, but that's why we're putting you asleep first". Another scientist said as he put in something in one of the several computers in the room.

Suddenly, the capsules started closing from the door. Everyone braced themselves. Link was happy that he had said yes to the competition, seeing as how otherwise, he would be dead within a thousand years. The doors closed.

Fox sighed. He knew he was already a target, so he needed to win the challenge. But not knowing what the challenge was, it would make keeping himself safe all the more harder. He suddenly felt a blast of cold air, which caused him to get really tired. He yawned, and shortly fell asleep, never to be seen from the world for 1000 years. The same happened to everyone else except for Megaman.

"And so, that's all we have for now. Don't worry, I prepared for this when I came to the past, so I placed security cameras all around where they would need to go. So next time, the action will happen in the past, so don't worry about waiting, because the time will come to whoever voted. And don't forget not to vote for anyone. Nobody is available yet until later on when the challenge is complete. So until 1000 years have past, I'm Megaman, signing off". And with that, Megaman fell into his deep sleep just like everyone else.

"Alright, let's get rid of their memory". One of the scientist could be heard saying before the camera shut off.


Sorry, no challenge this chapter either. The challenge is going to be very long, so I decided to make a separate chapter explaining who was eliminated, who rejoined, and what the challenge was going to be. Next time will have the challenge completed and someone will win and gain immunity (unless it's Link, because he already has it, but I already know if he wins or not).

Let me explain what happened with the voting. Right before posting the chapter which got rid of Jigglypuff and Master Hand, I received four subsequent votes for Pikachu. I had already finished writing the chapter, and already knew that Pikachu was not going to be immune. However, because this chapter had not come out just yet, they did not know to vote for someone to return. So, I counted those four votes against Pikachu for this chapter. It came down to that last person voting for Pikachu when the chapter had come out to keep Fox in. I'm surprised at how many people hate Fox.

So, that's it for the chapter. Next chapter as I said will be longer. So please wait patiently and I will get it out as soon as I can. Peace.
