Chapter 10: Conquistador is Conquered
Aku was rather impressed with Chris getting rid of Mike, but he wasn't convinced Alejandro could take down the samurai like he had hoped for. Chris was meeting with the shape-shifting wizard via hologram.
"So which one of the warriors should I get rid of next your evilness?" asked Chris.
"That Conquistador" said Aku, "he says what I believe may not be a skilled warrior."
"So you're basically saying you have doubts on Alejandro's abilities?" asked Chris who was surprised, "Gee, I thought he would be the warrior to beat Jack, but from the looks of what you're saying your evilness, maybe not."
"Good, now be a good puppet and get rid of him" continued Aku.
"That's why you're the boss" laughed Chris as the hologram vanished.
"He has to be one of the most annoying pawns I have yet to encounter" sighed Aku.
Chris was indeed going to obey Aku's orders in getting rid of Alejandro, but the question is how could he get rid of Alejandro. Chris had invited all the remaining warriors to a race course.
"Today's challenge will be testing our one's speed" said Chris.
Confessions:
"Alright, this time I am ready for anything" said Lightning.
"They have no idea what I can do" said Alejandro.
"Look at those swinging axes, I hope one of them doesn't hit DJ, no wait, I hope it does!" laughed Heather.
End of confessions.
"You expect us to go through that course?" asked DJ to Chris.
"Yes, yes I do" replied Chris, "every good warrior should learn how to outwit any kind of trap that'd come his or her way, even if it axes you to come near it! The warrior who crosses the finish line first will win immunity! Now go!"
Alejandro typically took the first lead, he ended up dodging a few swinging axes here and there, but was shocked by a laser that came right out of the walls to which Heather and Lightning passed him along with DJ and Jack.
"And the Conquistador is conquered by this course!" laughed Chris.
Robo Chef ended up deciding to help out DJ by playing some suspenseful music to boost his speed.
"Yea, now you're talking!" laughed DJ as he went ahead of Jack, and soon he was neck and neck up with Heather.
"What, how the heck did you get here so fast?" cried Heather.
"I am just powered by music, literally speaking!" laughed DJ.
Lightning did his best trying to trip DJ as he was coming up close, but instead lost balance and an axe nearly sliced his head off literally, but Lightning was able to dodge the oncoming axe just in the nick of time. Heather soon found herself racing against Jack and DJ as the three were neck and neck between each other. As they raced passing the many other traps of the course, all three ended up crossing the finish line with Lightning finally making it in last place.
"So who won?" asked Heather to Chris.
"Did we all come in a tie?" asked DJ.
"Well, yes, yes you do, all three of you will be sharing immunity from being voted off, as for Lightning I know you'll be voting someone off" laughed Chris.
Confessions:
"I am so glad I am not voting me off" said Lightning.
End of confessions.
"Well, it's official, we have a tie on who should be voted off" said Chris, "therefore we should have another tie breaking challenge."
"And what might that be?" asked Lightning toward Chris.
"Whoever could shoot the targets the fastest and the most wins" said Chris, "but think fast, the targets pop up and then go down at the last minute!"
"Ha, easy tie breaking challenge!" laughed Lightning.
"What, no fair, I'm not good with a gun" said Alejandro.
"Too bad" laughed Chris.
Lightning was rather quick with the gun in his hand as he picked off the targets one by one, eventually hitting the most targets obviously more than Alejandro who only managed to hit a few targets.
"Well, it looks like Lightning gets to stay, sorry Alejandro, you'll have to take the Walk Path of Shame home" laughed Chris.
As Alejandro ended up taking the Walk Path of Shame out of the coliseum, Aku was satisfied with Alejandro leaving for good.
"Hmm, I am thinking either that Heather or that Lightning needs to have a second look at" said Aku as he gazed upon the profile of the two warriors.
