I am back with the next chapter!

Waluigi: Well then that sure is good news because there has been no good story to read so far.

Knuckles: Come to think of it, there has not even been anything good to watch on TV at the moment.

Well then, as I may have written down in the previous chapter, it is now time to start with Shy Guy Says.

As usual, I do not own the Sonic or Mario characters; they all belong to Sega and Nintendo respectively.

Please enjoy the chapter!

Chapter 10: Shy Guy Takes Charge Part 1


"All right, are you players ready for this?" Shy Guy asked.

"Yes!" The 30 players shouted enthusiastically.

"In that case, let us commence Round 1," Shy Guy announced.

Oh boy, the competition is about to start!

"To start off the game, everyone turns around," Shy Guy ordered.

All the 30 players did not move at all.

Metal Sonic: There is no way I will allow myself to get eliminated in the first round.

"Well then, it seems like as if you people are a lot smarter than I had expected," Shy Guy admitted.

Some of the players felt a small sense of pride amongst themselves upon hearing the word "smarter".

"Shy Guy says hold up your right hand," Shy Guy continued.

All of the players held up their right hands.

"Now then, point out your third finger from your left on your right hand," Shy Guy continued.

"But that is the middle finger," Peach stated.

"Exactly, which is why we are not supposed to do it; Shy Guy did not say "Shy Guy says" in the beginning," Rosalina explained.

"Oh, I understand," Peach replied.

"Shy Guy says touch your ear with your right hand," Shy Guy ordered.

"The left ear or the right ear?" Dixie Kong asked Shy Guy.

"Shy Guy says the right ear," Shy Guy answered.

All the players executed the command correctly.

Daisy: This is way too easy for me.

Uh huh, things are starting quite slow at the moment, but I think some interesting may happen soon.

"Shy Guy says scratch your nose with your left hand," Shy Guy proceeded on.

As usual, the 30 players did exactly as they were told do so.

Amy: I am really hoping that our team can pull off a miracle in this game because we so need one right now.

Donkey Kong: There is no way Shy Guy is going to trick me!

"Everybody looks down to the floor," Shy Guy said.

Each and every single player did not move their heads.

Charmy: This seems rather easy, but I would really like Shy Guy to increase the difficulty level; I believe that it will make the game a lot more fun.

Dr Eggman: I am assuming that this is not the best Shy Guy can do, but since it is Round 1, it is reasonable enough.

"And lastly, Shy Guy Says clap your hands and exclaim "We have made it past Round 1!"" Shy Guy concluded.

The 30 players, though rather surprised that the first round had ended so quickly, did as they were told in order to prevent elimination.

"We have made it past Round 1!" All of them exclaimed while clapping their hands.

The crowd started cheering and applauding for the30 players' good start in the game.

It seems that our 30 players have been quite attentive in Round 1 and they have all made it through. However, I am pretty sure that things are going to get a whole lot tougher from now onwards.

"Congrats to all of you for making it through the first round, go and have a quick breather for two minutes and meet back here to begin Round 2; coming back late may result in elimination," Shy Guy announced before walking off.

The players dispersed and took a quick break.


Hammer Bro: It is pretty obvious that Shy Guy is taking it easy on us so that we would fall for his trap later on in the game, but I am not going to let that happen to me!

Amy: I am extremely relieved that none of my team members, like Silver and Blaze, got eliminated straight away.

Cosmo: Good thing Rosalina is back in the game with us, otherwise, we would have one player short and we would be at a disadvantage.

Dixie Kong: I have no idea what Shy Guy is planning, but I can assure you that it is going to be tough. Speaking of which, I am not breaking the fourth wall by saying "you" right?

Toadette: I don't care what happens later on, I just want to have some fun.

Espio: It is unknown who will be the winner, but I can tell that there are definitely a bunch of strong players.


And that is all for Chapter 10, I apologize if it was too short.

Dixie Kong: Why did you make this chapter so short, your other chapters for The Faceoff are usually quite long?

Well, I guess that is why; most of my chapters are extremely long, and I don't know if I can cram the whole Shy Guy Says game into 1 chapter alone so I am going to have to separate it, again, my apologies.

Shy Guy: Please remember to review and comment this story, but strictly no bad comments are allowed.

That is all for now, see you real soon!

Everyone: BYE!
