6 are left…
Oscar and John were talking in the dressing room.
"I'll look out for you if you look out for me," John offered to his fellow competitor.
"Yeah sure I guess but who is going up next?" Oscar asked.
"Jeni and Henry…" John answered. They got up and shook hands.
"Even though John is a fierce competitor," Oscar confessed, "I believe he is a man of his word and will honor his agreement.
The final six walked into the challenge area. As usual David was standing there grinning at them…
"Welcome to the final six…" he smiled, "for today's reward challenge we will be playing… VINE COUNTRY!"
In Vine Country… a Mario Party 7 DK mini game… contestants race with DK to the top climbing vines, but the player have to evade falling enemies, cause if the player is hit he or she will be stunned, giving DK the advantage, but DK can also be stunned.
"Everyone that beats DK will go on the reward," David smiled, "However the person with the best time will receive an advantage in the safety challenge."
The contestants nodded understanding the rules…
"Okay, John you are first up."
John lined up across from DK, he grabbed the vine and got ready to climb.
"GO!"
John immediately sprinted up and was already a third of the way up the vine. Then all of a sudden a spider hit him sending him down parallel to his monkey opponent.
He sprinted up and dodged a few other spiders and easily crossed the finish line before the monkey.
"Good game," DK smiled, "You were a worthy competitor!"
"Yeah good game," John smiled back.
"Oscar you are up next," David revealed.
Jeni laughed, "Are you doing most likely to win to least likely to win."
Oscar lined up across from the giant monkey.
"GO!"
Oscar and DK both got off to a good start. A spider was sent down and they both quickly dodged it. A second spider came and DK was nailed. Oscar was only a few feet from the top and thought that victory was guaranteed.
Swack! Oscar was sent down the vine. He and DK were both even going up to the top of the rope. A spider was sent down and only one of them successfully dodged it.
DK sighed as he had lost again.
"I'm losing my skills," He sighed, shrugged and then smiled, "Good game Oscar."
"CONGRATS OZZY!" Livi shouted. "Maybe the reward will be some tea and crumpets."
Oscar laughed and shook his head.
"Jeni you are up next,"
Jeni was no match for DK and was easily defeated. Henry and Livi both lots as well leaving Victoria the only one remaining.
"GO!" David shouted.
Victoria and DK both sprinted up the vine. They both easily dodged the first spider and continued climbing. A second spider came down and they both dodged it as well. A third and final shot down from the top and both dodged it again. It was a spring up the last few feet.
"By a millisecond DK wins," David revealed. Victoria sighed… "Congratulations dude you did great."
The final six gathered in front of David…
"The advantage in the safety challenge goes to…"
"Victoria"
Victoria was surprised…
"Even though I didn't get the reward I still got the safety advantage… which is awesome!"
Okay… losers will head back to the house… John and Oscar. Get ready for the experience of a lifetime.
Henry was sitting on one of the couches in the house. Victoria walked up and confronted him. "You are a terrible person," she spat.
"Why because I want to win the game?" Henry growled.
"You lied directly to our face…" Victoria said rolling our eyes, "I have no respect for you."
"While Henry did betray us… I think Victoria went a little to far with the whole 'you are a terrible person' thing." Livi shrugged.
John and Oscar got out of the car that had escorted them to their reward.
"Holy crap…" Oscar said with his mouth wide open. In front of them was a beautiful waterfall.
"Welcome to my home," Donkey Kong smiled.
Over the next few hours John and Oscar jumped off the waterfall, swam in beautiful and clear water and had a scrumptious picnic lunch of chicken wings and potato chips.
"Dude I think the best two players should be in the finals," Oscar said his mouth full of chicken.
John smiled revealing the potato chips in his mouth, "I agree man… I hope that it is me and you."
"While Oscar is a great guy and we have really bonded," John confessed, "My true loyalty lies with Victoria. Me and her have been together since the beginning and I hope it is me and her in the finals."
The two returned to the house.
"How was the reward Ozzy?" Livi asked starry eyed.
Ozzy smiled, "I'm glad to see we are friends again…" he then whispered to himself "I guess." He then remembered the question he was asked… "It was great we went to DK falls."
He continued telling Livi and Jeni all about it.
John and Victoria snuggled up on the couch.
"I missed you babe," John smiled.
Victoria smiled back and put her head on John's chest. "Its hard to deal with people like Henry."
John kissed her on the forehead, "I know… don't worry he will be gone soon."
"I have gotten extremely close to John," Victoria confessed, "A lot closer then I would of ever expected. I will do anything to make sure that me and him are in the final two."
The six finalists lined up ready for the safety challenge.
"The game we will be playing today is from one of the most forgotten Mario Parties…" David explained… "The game we will be playing today is… "SLED SLIDE!"
In Sled Slide… a Mario Party Advance mini game… The player must slide through the course with a sled. As the player accelerates, the player can see arrows on the tracks that can help the player where to turn. If the player does the turning too hard, the player will spin out at a moment.
"The three players with the fastest time will be safe. As an advantage… Victoria will have 5 seconds taken off her final time."
Victoria smiled knowing her advantage will help her.
"Okay Jeni is up first."
Jeni got into the sled and lined up at the starting line. The time started and the buzzer rang. Jeni pushed off and leaned back. She tried to guide her sled around the first turn but she quickly span out.
"She is so bad," John whispered to Oscar as both shook their head.
She successfully completed the second and third turns but then arrived at the final U-turn. Not knowing what to do she didn't turn at all and went face first into the wall. SMACK! She quickly regained and headed down the final stretch and crossed the finish line.
Luigi, the judge, looked at his stop watch.
"Your time is 49 seconds," he revealed.
"Livi you are up next."
Livi got into the sled and got ready to start. "THIS IS FOR YOU OZZY!" she shouted as the buzzer rang and she pushed off. She easily made it through the first turn. She approached the second turn and made that one easily as well. On her way to the third turn she hit a bump in the ice and flipped off. She landed with a thud on her back.
"Ahh that hurt." Livi whined. Ozzy was snickering at the starting line.
"I CAN'T BELIEVE OZZY LAUGHED WHEN I FELL… I was sooooo mad." Livi confessed, "But I'm happy now because you know I can't like stay mad at my best friend forever?"
Livi eventually got back on her sled and slowly finished the race.
Luigi announced the results, "1 minute and 23 seconds." Livi put her head down knowing she wouldn't win safety.
"John you are up," David revealed.
John shot down the frozen landscape like a penguin. While he did slow down a little for the U-turn he made a flawless run down the mountain. When he crossed the finish he grabbed his sled and spiked it like a football.
"John impressively got down in 32 seconds," Luigi recapped.
"BAM" John yelled pumping his chest.
"While me and John are similar in that we are both competitor," Oscar confessed, "He is a more of an outgoing person then I am."
"Oscar you are up next," David announced.
Similar to John, Oscar raced down the course in similar fashion. When he approached the u-turn rather then taking it safe like his opponent had he kept up his speed and tried the sharp turn. He took a nasty spill and hit hard into the ice. He quickly regained and finished the final stretch easily.
"Oscar your time is…" Luigi began.
Oscar waited to see if he was in first or not.
"38 seconds… which means John you are safe."
"I guess im just as competitive as him," Ozzy laughed in his confession, "I wanted to beat his time."
Henry was the next player and he started off strong. He took the corners slowly and struggled to reach the speed that Oscar or John had reached. After completing the first three turns he made it to the U-turn where he almost stopped because he was going to slow. He eventually made it to the end and felt good in his performance.
"Stupid idiot got a perfect run," Victoria muttered under her breath.
"Henry your time is…"
Henry breathed in wondering if his strategy had worked.
Oscar crossed his fingers hoping that Henry's time was longer then his.
"40 seconds"
Oscar smiled knowing he was safe.
"Oscar is in the top 3," David explained, "Victoria you need to beat 40 seconds to join John and Oscar in the top 3."
Victoria lined up at the top and pushed off when the buzzer began. She skillfully made it through the first and second turns. She spun out a little bit on the third turn but quickly regained her composure. She slowed down a tad on the u-turn and finished the lap strong.
"I felt confident I got under 40 seconds," Victoria confessed.
"You time is…" Luigi began.
Henry waited for the results.
Victoria couldn't stand to wait.
John hoped that his closest ally was safe.
"43 seconds," Luigi revealed.
Henry did a fist pump of excitement.
"Not so fast douche," Victoria grinned.
"With her safety advantage she received… it moves her time to 38 seconds." Luigi concluded.
Victoria grinned and Henry sighed at his forgetfulness.
John, Oscar and Victoria you have 10 minutes to decide which of the three you will safe from the elimination game.
The three talked for a few minutes and then came out.
"Okay just to save time we have come up with the decision that we will save Livi," John announced.
"Is that okay with everyone?" David asked. Both Victoria and Oscar nodded.
"Okay it will be Henry and Jeni in the elimination game."
Henry and Jeni both got ready for the game that would decide whether or not they would remain in the game.
"Even though I have struggled so far today I am confident that I can win this game," Jeni confessed.
"Jeni is brutal… she doesn't deserve to be here," Henry confessed, "I'll take her out."
"The game you will be playing is…"
"Blazing Lassos!"
In Blazing Lassos… a mario party 8 mini game… The players' goal is to get more points than their opponent by lassoing in barrels with numbers marked on them. The numbers are 5, 10, 20, 30, and 50. The catch is that the barrels are on spinning wheels, and the barrel that the player lassos in is almost completely random. Whoever has the most points by the time the time limit runs out wins.
"Okay get ready…" David said.
"GO!"
Henry started swinging the lasso like crazy he threw it out two times and got a 5 barrel and 10 barrel.
"So I've already gotten two barrels and I glance over at Jeni and she is just swinging the rope around doing nothing…" Henry laughed in confessional, "It was pitiful."
Jeni finally let go and corralled a 50 barrel just as Henry corralled another 10 barrel.
"I can tell Henry was thinking 'what an idiot she hasn't gone yet'" Jeni confessed, "I'm pretty sure my fifty shut him up."
Henry quickly caught up by getting two thirty barrels but after Jeni skillfully corralled another fifty he knew the game was going to be close after he corralled another 20.
"10 seconds,"
Both competitors slowed down and knew they would be only able to get one barrel. Henry tries to be greedy and get two and quickly corrals a 20 but almost misses his second toss and gets just a 10. Jeni sticks with her strategy and slows it down and watches the 50. She lunges out and corrals…
Henry glances over to see what his opponent had gotten.
A 30…
"At the end of the game the final scores are…" Luigi announced.
Jeni scored 130.
Henry scored…
The crowd was silent waiting to see who would advance to the final five.
135!
Henry breathed a sigh of relief and went over to shake his opponents hand. "I really underestimated you Jeni, good game!" He smiled.
"I'm sorry Daniel," she said under her breath.
"Jeni, I am sorry but your game is over…"
The toads in black jumped out of some of the decoration barrels.
"game over guys game over guys!" the crowd shouted in joy as Jeni was removed from the game.
Henry and David stood on the stage.
"Congratulations Henry you are in the final five…"
"I have so much fun," Jeni said leaving the arena, "I met some people and proved to myself I am a fighter."
"The final five is here…" David recapped, "With two episodes left before the finale… who will make it to the end and whose game will be over.
He paused and looked at the camera. "Find out next time…"
"I SURVIVED A MARIO PARTY!"
