Kyle and Noxis were hanging around in the cabin, discussing their team weaknesses.
"We need to take care of Ki. She seems like a floater on the team, and we should probably take care of her," Kyle said evilly.
"Look man, I'm kinda tired of all this plotting. Right now, I think its time we need to comfort Tyson," Noxis said with a frown.
"The thug? What's the heck could be his problem?" Kyle growled.
"Dude, he went through the toughest emotional drama in this show, probably," Noxis said sadly,"Sophia was kicked off the show, and it was estimated that it was Shadow's fault."
"So, she's probably leaving next?"
"Yep."
"Good. They're getting weaker. Our team, including us, might not go to elimination for the fourth time in this game."
"Dude, you don't understand. That was a serious love triangle right there."
"Why would I care? It's not my problem."
"You know what? I'll see you later, jerk," Noxis walked out of the cabin as Meloetta announced for the campers to come to the main area.
Once all the campers were there, Meloetta announced the challenge. "Alright, everyone! Your challenge today is called... Slender..." Meloetta said with an evil grin.
"Wait, you mean like slenderman?" Vortex s aid nervously.
"Yes Vortex. Now, here's how the game goes: Since there are 13 contestants left, 12 sheets of paper have been left in the forest. The 12 campers who find these sheets wwill be fine. the 13th person who doesn't find one though, will be automatically eliminated. Also, the first 6 campers to find their sheets will be guaranteed a spot in the season 2 cast of 12 originals," Meloetta said.
The campers all gasped. This was serious business.
"Now, I guess this is the right time to announce it- this is the merge. So get going! You will each be given a map to the different points in the forest where the papers are. So get going, campers! Your spot in this game depends on it!"
The campers walked through the forest gate, and got ready for danger.

"Oh crap, not Slender. I haven't seen him since the fami- Oh crap, I said too much," Vortex said, sweaty with anxiety.
000
"I'm starting to think Kyle isn't the type of guy I want to be allies with," Noxis said uncomfortably.
000
Ace walked through the forest, but he was thinking about Artic's crying. "What was she so sad about anyway?" Ace contemplated, an uneasy look on his face. "Well, I better just look for a page. Oh hey, there's one over there!"
A page was nailed to a tree, and it had some writing on it. Ace walked over to it and read it. "It read one word in big, red letters. It read, "RUN"
"Wha- what?" Ace said, afraid.He started to hear whispers all around him, and they got closer and closer, until he felt a cold, white hand touch his back.
"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!" Ace shrieked.
000
"You hear that, guys?" Sunny asked Ki and Megan.
"No, what was it?" Ki asked fearfully.
Megan examined her. She was covered in sweat, and she was looking around the bushes like she was waiting for someone- or something- to attack.
"Ki, are you alright? You seem pretty shaken up," Megan asked.
"Huh? What? No! No... I'm fine... I'm fine..." Ki responded.
Ki was shaking and biting her nails. Her usually wagging tail was low to the ground.
"Hmmm... If she goes on like this, she could have a stroke," Megan thought.
Megan looked at the tall trees up ahead. she saw a peice of paper. She looked down at the map. where they were showed none. "These maps don't help us at all, they're just trying to pull one over on us."
Megan jumped from branch to branch until she reached the top of the tree. In a paper machete bird's nest were four pages. Megan grabbed them and jumped back down. Ki was still shaking, and Sunny was patting her on the back, trying to calm her down.
"It's okay, Ki, It's okay," Sunny turned to Megan, "She's not doing so well."
"Well, we don't have to worry about that, we can leave now," Megan said, passing them pages.
The three walked back toward the entrance, leaving a page behind because it had no worth to them.
000
"I don't know why I let myself get so afraid of that forest," Ki said, "After that night I... No, I can't talk about it."

Vortex and Moon were walking through the forest together. They had already found one page, but they wanted to finish together.
"So," Vortex said, "We're basically a couple now, right?"
"Correct Vortex," Moon said, "Alright, now please quiet down."
"Why?"
"I'm going to try my aura reading ability to detect a page," Moon stuck her hands together in a triangle form. She concentrated. A blue flame started to form around her body. She opened her eyes, and instead of their normal black color, they were sky-blue. "Over there," Moon pointed at a treehole.
Vortex floated towards it and pulled out a page. A white hand reached out and tried to pull him in.
"Stop, dude! Stop! Little Slendy, I swear-"
"Little Slendy?" Moon asked, confused.
A miniature version of SlenderMan walked out. who was wearing a rainbow colored suit and a red top hat.
"Hi, cousin Vortex!" The little Slender said, giving Vortex a hug.
"Vortex, what is going on?" Moon asked, extremely bamboozled.
"Oh, I should probably explain," Vortex said. He and Little Slendy floated down to Moon.
"Y'see Moon, pokemon ghosts and Slendermen are Slendy here is my cousin. I guess Meloetta hired all of them to be in the challenge," Vortex explained.
"Oh," Moon said. "So, they won't scare you?"
"Well not the young ones. When they start to get older, they don't let anything stop them from scaring the crap out of people."
"Oh. So we should go before another one of your relatives comes over?" Moon contemplated.
"Yep."
"Alright, let's go."
"Ok. Bye Little Slendy."
Little Slendy waved them goodbye, and faded into darkness.
000
"Oh my god, this is taking forever," Meloetta said, "When are some campers finally going to come on and turn in their pages?"
Ace emerged from the bushes, a page in his mouth.
"Hey Ace, how'd you get your page?" Meloetta asked.
"Oh, these quadruplet slender girls had a tea party with me, and then they gave me a page," Ace explained with a smile.
"Well, congratulations Ace, since you were the first one, you're not only guaranteed a spot in season 2, but you also get immunity for whenever you want to use it" Meloetta happily informed him.
"Wow, really? Sounds awesome," Ace walked to the boys cabin, a cheerf look on his face.
Ki, Megan, Sunny, Moon, Vortex, Kyle, and Noxis all walked out of the forest with their pages. Noxis's eyes were red, and Kyle ha blood on his pocketknife and chest.
Thor ran out screaming like a little girl with his page, and Nuregami slithered out, rolling her eyes.
"What happened to him?" Sunny asked Nuregami.
"A SlenderMan said hi. That's it," Nuregami groaned and glared at Thor.
"Alright, so all we have to do is wait for 2 more campers to come and turn in their pages. The remaining 3 in the forest are Artic, Shadow, and Tyson."
Ace frowned after hearing that. Artic was still in the forest? He was really worried about her.
000
Artic picked a page up off the ground, and turned away and walked toward the exit. Behind her, five frightened SlenderMen were frozen in place. One had there arms bound to a tree by ice.
"Next time one of you tries to come close and scare me, think again."
000
Shadow and Tyson were arguing.
"So after all the trouble I went through to make you mine, you won't go out with me?!" Shadow yelled.
"After what you did! I can't believe you!" Tyson retaliated, "You know what? I don't have to deal with you anymore! I got my page already!"
Tyson tried to run away, but Shadow grabbed the page and dashed ahead of him. Tyson used ember to stop her, and grabbed the page back. Shadow tackled him and tried to grab the page, but he kicked her off him. He dashed toward the exit, but Shadow jumped in front of him and punched him in the face, making him drop the page. Before she grabbed it, he tripped her and Tyson dashed for the exit. A SlenderMan jumped in front of him.
"Give me the page."
"Yeah right," Tyson kicked the SlenderMan in the stomach and it turned back into Shadow. She gripped her stomach in pain, and Tyson reached the exit.
000
Tyson jumped through the exit, his leather jacket ripped. Shadow walked out slowly, gripping her stomach.
"Well Shadow, You're leaving the game! Any last words?" Meloetta asked.
Groudon picked her up and got in a throwing position.
"Yeah, I will have you one day Tysooooooooooooooooooooon!"
Shadow was thrown across the ocean.
"Well, this was an extremely fulfilling episode," Meloetta said, "We'll see you guys later! I'm Meloetta, and we'll see you next time on Total... Pokemon... Island... 2!"
