Hi everybody, I am back with the final and concluding chapter of Shy Guy Says.
Blooper: That sure is good to know.
Vector: Yeah, I mean the suspense has been endless for the past few chapters.
As usual, I do not own any characters or any things mentioned in this chapter, they all belong to Nintendo and Sega.
So, without further ado, let us commence with the story.
Chapter 12: Shy Guy Takes Charge Part 3
"All right players, it is time to commence Round 4!" Shy Guy announced.
The 8 remaining players went back to the play area and got prepared for the game.
Oh boy, the game is about to continue once again, what will happen in the fourth round?
"Ok, to start off the fourth round, Shy Guy says, turn to your right," Shy Guy began.
The 8 players turned to their right and waited for the next command.
"Shy Guy says, hold out your right foot," Shy Guy commanded.
The 8 players executed out this command correctly.
"Raise up your left hand," Shy Guy said.
The 8 players maintained their balance and did not rise up their hands.
"Shy Guy says rise up your left hand and put your left leg down," Shy Guy commanded.
All of the 8 players managed to rise up their left hands. However, while 7 of them still held up their right legs, 1 of them put down their right leg.
"Vector, you are out of the game; I told you to put your left leg down, not your right leg," Shy Guy explained.
"Ugh, darn it, stupid lefty righty directions," Vector groaned.
Shy Guy has already eliminated one player; he still has seven more to go.
As Vector made his way out of the arena, he whispered "Good luck" to Daisy, who seemed to be extremely disappointed by Vector's elimination.
Daisy: Come on Vector, how could you still fall for such a trick at this point of the game?
Sonic: From the fact that there are only 2 sonic players and 5 Mario players left in the game, it is evident that the Mario players have an advantage since Shy Guy is the commander; which could be trouble for me and Blaze.
"Shy Guy says put down your right leg," Shy Guy ordered.
The remaining seven players put down their legs and waited for the next command.
"Shy Guy says about face," Shy Guy ordered.
The 7 players swiftly turned 180 degrees clockwise.
Impressive; the remaining seven players can still remember the definition of "About Face".
"Face me," Shy Guy said.
None of the players moved an inch.
"Shy Guy says face me," Shy Guy said.
The seven players turned to face Shy Guy.
"Jump," Shy Guy said.
The players remained standing and did not jump.
"Shy Guy says jump," Shy Guy commanded.
The seven players jumped once and stopped.
"Do not jump," Shy Guy commanded.
While Yoshi stood rooted to the ground, Daisy, Peach, Sonic, Rosalina, Blaze, and Mario jumped once.
"Yoshi you are out of the game," Shy Guy pointed out.
"Wait, why, what did I do wrong?" Yoshi asked with a confused look on his face.
"Can somebody please explain to Yoshi what he did wrong," Shy Guy said.
Daisy, who was pretty confident that she would win the game after she saw Yoshi's failure to execute the command correctly, decided to do the honors.
"Well then you see, Shy Guy said not to jump, but he did not say "Shy Guy Says" at the beginning, so that means that we are supposed to..." Daisy explained.
All of a sudden, Daisy stopped speaking with a rather horrific look on her face. Slowly, she turned to face Shy Guy.
"No way..." Daisy stuttered.
"Although I did ask someone to explain to Yoshi his mistake, I did not say "Shy Guy Says" at the beginning, so for explaining his mistake to him, Daisy, you are out," Shy Guy stated.
"Oh man!" Daisy groaned as she fell to the floor in defeat.
Yoshi, who had been the last member of his team left in his game since Round 3, was as disappointed as Daisy.
God, that was a hard one, Yoshi put in so much effort and lasted this far as the final member left and yet he lost. And Daisy, she was definitely a top favorite in this game, even knowing Yoshi's mistake, but her huge confidence boost caused her to make a fatal mistake, and she is no longer in the game.
Extremely disappointed, Yoshi and Daisy reluctantly and dejectedly made their way out of the play area, knowing that their team was out of the run to be in the final round.
Mario: Man that was a pretty rough hit to Daisy and Yoshi; I just hope it does not happen to me.
Rosalina: with Yoshi and Daisy gone, the only players left are from Teams 1, 2 and 3.
Blaze: Vector, Yoshi and Daisy, who just got eliminated from the game, did not receive any votes in the end of Round 3, while Peach, Sonic, Mario and Rosalina all have at least 1 votes, I have no votes, so this does not seem like a good sign for me.
"Shy Guy says About Face," Shy Guy continued on with the game.
Sonic, Peach, Blaze, Rosalina and Mario all turned 180 degrees clockwise.
"Shy Guy says close your eyes," Shy Guy said.
The 5 players closed their eyes, blocking out their vision.
"Shy Guy says raise up your right hand," Shy Guy commanded.
The players raised their right hand with their eyes closed.
"Shy Guy says raise up your left hand," Shy Guy added on.
The 5 players also executed this command correctly.
"Shy Guy says put your right hand on your head, About Face, and then put down your left hand," Shy Guy commanded.
With their eyes closed, the players placed their right hand on their head, turned 180 degrees and then put down their left hand, thinking that all of them had executed the command correctly.
"Four of you turned 180 degrees clockwise but one of you turned 180 degrees anti clockwise, to the player who had done so, you are out of the game, please move out of the play area," Shy Guy told the players.
One of the players opened their eyes and made their way out of the area while the other four kept their eyes closed, unsure of who got eliminated.
"Shy Guy says put your right hand down from your head," Shy Guy commanded.
The 4 remaining players put down their right hands, keeping their eyes closed.
"Open your eyes," Shy Guy said.
Although they were tempted to know who got eliminated, the players kept their eyes shut.
"Shy Guy says open your eyes," Shy Guy commanded.
The final four players opened their eyes and looked at the remaining players.
Mario looked around and saw three female players around him, hence indicating that the player, who got eliminated, was Sonic.
So, Sonic is down and this leaves only four players left in the game.
Blaze was very surprised that she lasted longer than Sonic, and yet, she also felt relieved that Mario did not get eliminated for she would not be able to last.
Peach: I have one vote, Rosalina is from Team 3 and has 2 votes, while Blaze and Mario are both from Team 2 and although Blaze has no votes, Mario received three votes. This is going to be a rather tough challenge for me.
Mario: Man, this fourth round is going faster than I had expected.
"Shy Guy says turn around," Shy Guy commanded.
The 4 players turned around and waited for further commands.
"Shy Guy says start walking towards me without turning," Shy Guy commanded.
The 4 players quickly worked out Shy Guy's statement and started walking backwards.
"Stop," Shy Guy announced.
Peach: Sorry Shy Guy, not going to happen.
"Shy Guy says stop," Shy Guy said.
The 4 players stopped in their tracks.
"Shy Guy says turn 180 degrees anti clockwise to face me," Shy Guy told them.
The 4 players all turned 180 degrees anticlockwise and faced Shy Guy.
"Shy Guy says start walking towards me," Shy Guy ordered.
The 4 players started walking towards Shy Guy, unsure of who would be eliminated yet.
"Wait!" Shy Guy called out.
That was the one command which caused Rosalina to stop in her tracks for half a second, before she started walking again. However, her move did not go unseen.
"Rosalina, the referee reported that you had made an error in the command and thus, you are out of the game," Shy Guy pointed out.
"Well, I guess I have tried my best," Rosalina responded as she left the play area.
Oh man! Rosalina, the MVP for yesterday, and the player who managed to find the secret message to get back into the game, just got eliminated due to a bad blunder, and this ends the hope for Team 3 to have a player in the final round.
"Shy Guy says stop walking," Shy Guy ordered the final 3 players.
Blaze, Peach and Mario stopped walking and listened attentively to Shy Guy.
"Guess what, you have just survived through the fourth round and you three are through to the final round of the game!" Shy Guy exclaimed.
The audience members and players applauded for the 3 of them.
Blaze: I am actually in the final round? This can't actually be happening.
Mario: Wow, it seems like I actually can possibly win this game.
Peach: Being the only player from Team 1 left, it is not going to be an easy battle against Mario and Blaze from Team 2.
"Now then, we are now in the fifth and final round of the game, it is down to you 3 players left, you managed to survive through the tough first four rounds of the game, where 27 players got eliminated, being in this final round, it all comes down to this, best of luck to the three of you," Shy Guy told them. "It is time... to start the final round."
Round 5: Final Round
Final 3 players
Team 1: Peach
Team 2: Mario and Blaze
It all comes down to this last round, where we will finally determine the winner of Shy Guy Says.
"Shy Guy says wave your left hand," Shy Guy commanded while he waved his right hand.
The 3 players all correctly executed out this command, not falling for Shy Guy's tricks like the other players.
"Shy Guy says stop waving," Shy Guy said.
The 3 players stopped waving their left hands as they got ready for the next command.
"Turn around," Shy Guy said.
Blaze: I will not fall for that trick like the others did!
"Shy Guy says turn around," Shy Guy ordered.
Blaze, Mario and Peach turned around simultaneously.
"Shy Guy says walk," Shy Guy commanded.
Blaze, Mario and Peach walked straight without any delays.
"Shy Guy says turn around and continue walking, but in a slower pace," Shy Guy said.
The 3 of them turned around and continued walking, slowing down their pace.
"Stop walking," Shy Guy said.
There was no change in the 3 players' movement.
"Stop," Shy Guy repeated in an even louder tone.
It seems like Shy Guy is trying to intimidate the 3 players.
"Stop walking!" Shy Guy yelled as loudly as he could.
The 3 players ignored Shy Guy's command and walked past him, heading straight to a fence.
Upon reaching the fence, the three players showed different moves.
Two of them were walking on the spot while the other one had already stopped walking.
"I did not tell you to stop walking, hence, you are out of the game," Shy Guy announced. "But still, it was a very well played game Peach."
Upon learning that Team 2 had won the game, the crowd burst into applause.
Blaze and Mario heaved a sigh of relief and hugged each other. Peach, despite being upset that she lost, still congratulated Blaze and Mario and gave them both a hug as well.
"All right, go Blaze!" Amy and Silver exclaimed with joy.
"Way to go Mario!" Birdo squealed in delight.
As Peach went out of the play area, Mario and Blaze remained in the play area.
"Shy Guy says, please come back here," Shy Guy announced.
Blaze and Mario quickly went back to Shy Guy and waited for further instructions.
"Blaze, Mario congratulations for being the last 2 players in the game, it sure has been a great game with all of you," Shy Guy told them. "Give yourselves a round of applause."
Mario happily clapped for himself, Blaze did not.
"Mario, you are out of the game, I did not say Shy Guy Says for that command," Shy Guy pointed out.
Mario realized his mistake and took a sigh of defeat but had a big smile on his face when he turned to Blaze.
"You... you must be kidding..." Blaze stuttered.
"Ladies and gentlemen, the winner for Shy Guy says, is none other than Blaze!" Shy Guy proudly announced.
Everyone cheered and applauded for the purple cat. Mario gave Blaze a big hug, who still could not accept the fact that she won the game.
All the other players who had been eliminated ran into the play area and cheered for Blaze.
"Great job Blaze," Sonic remarked.
"You deserved the win," Rosalina told her.
"Congrats on your victory," Peach said.
Blaze: It was just such an amazing moment for me; who would have thought that I would end up victorious in this game?
Peach: Though I did not win, I am still very happy for Blaze.
Metal Sonic: Turns out that Blaze won the challenge in the end; looks like we all underestimated her ability as a team captain.
Dixie Kong: I would not be surprised if Blaze was the MVP for today, this challenge definitely put her back on the right track.
Blooper: Despite all the tremendous pressure from her failure yesterday, she rose back from failure to success and proved her true power in this game.
Donkey Kong: Blaze definitely put in a lot of effort in this challenge, and I believe that she will do better not only as a team leader, but also as a player.
After a period of celebration, MC Ballyhoo had gathered all of the players together in their respective teams.
"Now then, I am sure that you all know who won, but I am pretty sure you would like to know how the points are awarded, don't you," MC Ballyhoo asked.
The 30 players nodded their heads in agreement.
"Firstly, points will be awarded for how long the team stays in the game; for example, if all the players in Team X make it past round 1, they earn 10 points, if they all make it past round 2, they earn 20 points and so on," MC Ballyhoo explained. "Now then Team 6 managed to earn 10 points as all of them made it past Round 1, and the first player on their team was eliminated in Round 2, which was Wario."
"No need to rub it in!" Wario complained.
"For teams 2, 3, 4 and 5, it is the same case as all of the players in each team only managed to make it past Round 1 only, while the first team member was eliminated in Round 2, so they all earn 10 points," MC Ballyhoo continued.
Amy: Ok, clearly we should have more than just 10 points since Blaze won the game in the end, so MC Ballyhoo may not have revealed all of the point systems to us yet.
"On a higher note, all the players in Team 1 made it past Round 2, so they earn 20 points," MC Ballyhoo announced.
Hammer Bro: Well at least our team has that to be proud of.
"Secondly, for all those players who made it to the final round, but did not become the eventual winner, they will help their team win 50 points," MC Ballyhoo continued. "Since Peach and Mario were the 2 players who made it to the last round but did not emerge as champion, they each help their team earn 50 points."
The players in Teams 1 and 2 applauded for themselves.
"I cannot believe this," Silver admitted.
"I know, and if this the number of points our team wins for going through to the final round, then I bet you that Blaze can help us win even more points for being the winner," Birdo stated.
"And lastly, the winner of the game will also help their team to win a huge number of 100 points!" MC Ballyhoo exclaimed.
Upon hearing the number of points Blaze won for her team, everybody applauded for her once again.
"So let us sum up the scores for this game," MC Ballyhoo announced.
Team 1: 20+50=70
Team 2: 10+50+100=160
Team 3: 10
Team 4: 10
Team 5: 10
Team 6: 10
Dr Eggman: Gee, seeing a score of 10 points right next to a score of 160 points, it really seems rather disgracing for us.
Cosmo: Wow, now this could really even up the scores.
"And now, let us sum up the current scores for now," MC Ballyhoo announced.
Team 1: 125+70=195 points
Team 2: 75+160=235 points
Team 3: 75+10=85 points
Team 4: 65+10=75 points
Team 5: 95+10=105 points
Team 6: 85+10=95 points
"Of course, the scores seem to be rather different as compared to yesterday, however, we still have one more event up to come, and I am pretty sure that the winner for Shy Guy Says would know what it is," MC Ballyhoo said.
"I am not fully sure, but I assume that you are referring to the LVP and MVP for today," Blaze answered.
"That is correct, meet at the same place as yesterday at 7PM and we will commence with the event, for now, you are free to go about," MC Ballyhoo dismissed the players.
"By the way, it was also a fun experience being the host of Shy Guy Says, thank you all so much," Shy Guy thanked everyone profusely.
Tikal: I am pretty glad that our team still did perfectly for the events today.
Silver: With over 200 points at the moment, I can safely say that our team will catch up with the others.
Tails: Overall, we did quite decent today; I just hope that the LVP award does not go to someone from my team.
Waluigi: Our team scored the highest yesterday and we scored the lowest today, this really stinks.
Toadette: I am really worried for my team members because most of us got eliminated in Round 2 of Shy Guy says, which could result in one of us, becoming the LVP.
Espio: for now, all we can do is just waiting to see what the audience felt about our performances today.
At 7PM, all the 30 players had gathered in the theater and so was the crowd.
Going through the same process as yesterday, MC Ballyhoo called upon the 10 judges to come out on stage.
"All right players, as you may or may not remember, the MVP for today will win 10 points for their team, while the LVP will cause their team to lose 10 percent of their points accumulated today, is everyone ready?" MC Ballyhoo summarized.
The 30 players, who were already assembled in their respective groups, all nodded their heads.
The lights dimmed and the audience got excited.
"Similarly to yesterday, I will be announcing the bottom five in no particular order, the first player in the bottom five is..." MC Ballyhoo began.
Everyone paid close attention to what MC Ballyhoo was going to say.
"Charmy," MC Ballyhoo revealed.
The small bee reluctantly made his way to the front of the stage.
Daisy: Considering the fact that Charmy was the very first player to get eliminated in Shy Guy Says, I do not find it the least bit surprising that Charmy is in the bottom five.
"The second player in the bottom five is... Rouge," MC Ballyhoo said.
Hearing the announcement of her name, Rouge went in front to the stage while her team members hoped for the best.
"The third player is... Amy," MC Ballyhoo stated.
Gasps were heard from Team 2 as Amy went to the front of the stage.
"The fourth player is... Luigi," MC Ballyhoo went on.
The players in team 5 were taken by surprise that another player from their team was in the bottom five.
"Last but not least, the final player who is in the bottom five is..." MC Ballyhoo carried on.
Wario: I just hope that I will not be there again.
Shadow: Even though our team did not do as well as yesterday, I see no reason why any one of us would be in the bottom five.
"The final player in the bottom five is Silver," MC Ballyhoo revealed.
Birdo, Mario and even Silver were rather appalled that 2 of their team members were in the bottom five. Blaze, however, seemed prepared for that.
Blaze: To me, although I won Shy Guy Says, that cannot hide the fact that Silver and Amy were still rather weak in today's challenges, I just hope that the judge would be kind enough to them.
"As for the remaining 25 players, congratulations to you, you managed to stay safe for today, well done!" MC Ballyhoo exclaimed.
The crowd cheered and applauded for the remaining players as they went to take their respective seats.
"All right judges, please decide on the 3 players whom you would personally save," MC Ballyhoo told the 10 judges.
After a minute or so of thinking, the 10 judges had come up with their choices.
"All right, the judge who will be picking 3 players to save is... Goombella," MC Ballyhoo stated.
Upon hearing her name, Goombella made her way to the front of the stage, with her decisions made.
"Goombella, please pick the 3 players whom you have chosen to save," MC Ballyhoo told her.
"Well, the first person whom I chose to save is Amy," Goombella revealed.
The pink hedgehog took a big sigh of relief as Silver gave her an encouraging hug.
"I chose to save her first because I personally felt that out of all the 5 players on stage, she seemed to have the most potential, but she has not used it to her advantage yet, so Amy, please put in your fullest effort for the future challenges because you would really be a big help to your team," Goombella suggested.
Amy went back to her team members and was greeted by a warm hug from Blaze.
"The second player whom I chose to save is Charmy," Goombella continued.
Charmy happily jumped for joy and went back to his teammates.
"I feel that Charmy was the most confident player amongst the bottom five, and confidence is a very important key factor in this game and he used it wisely to his advantage," Goombella explained.
"So, it is down to Silver, Rouge and Luigi from Teams 2, 4 and 5, who would be the last player to be saved by Goombella?" MC Ballyhoo asked.
"Well, it was a rather tough choice, but I stuck to my choice and I picked a player, Rouge, you were in the bottom two yesterday, I do not think you deserve to be tortured again today, Luigi, you played well and Silver, you also did your best for today, overall the three of you were quite weak today, and it was rather hard for me to make up my mind, but the final player whom I will save is..." Goombella announced.
Everyone paid close attention to the name Goombella was going to announce, especially Daisy, Blaze and Blooper.
Daisy: We already performed horribly for today, we cannot afford to have Rouge as the LVP; besides she was in the bottom two yesterday.
Blaze: I hope Goombella chose to save Silver; I do not wish to lose points due to the fact that the LVP was from my team, again.
Blooper: Maybe if I had placed Luigi in the Great Gym category today, he may not have ended up in the bottom five.
"It is going to be Silver," Goombella revealed.
"Oh my god!" Blaze exclaimed.
The audience members cheered for Silver while the players in Team 2 applauded.
"I picked Silver because I feel that the players in Team 2 put in more effort than the other teams, so I had to stick to my gut feeling and save him," Goombella explained.
Waluigi: Well then Miss Goomba, Silver and his friends may be happy but I am not amused by your decision and your unreasonable explanation.
"So, it all draws down to Luigi and Rouge from Teams 5 and 4 respectively, and I will now reveal one small fact: One of them got the fifth lowest number of points, while the other one got the lowest number of points, but whoever is in the bottom with the least points is not part of the question, the question is, who will be the LVP for today, Rouge or Luigi?" MC Ballyhoo announced.
Daisy: Luigi, please do not take this the wrong way, I love you very much, but in this game, I have to stand up for my teammates, no matter how much I despise them.
Toadette: throughout the 2 days, Rouge has been one of the laziest players in the game, so I assume that she received the lowest number of votes while Luigi received the fifth lowest number of points, I just hope that the judges will be sensible enough to save Luigi instead of Rouge.
"We will find out who is the LVP for today, right after this commercial break," MC Ballyhoo announced.
The audience members and some of the players and even the producers started booing until Daisy took matters.
"Hey people shut up!" Daisy screamed at the top of her lungs.
Everybody immediately kept quiet as Daisy glared the one thousand pair of eyes that were staring at her.
Meanwhile, MC Ballyhoo made a signal to the cameramen to go to commercial.
"Got it sir," The cameramen mouthed out to MC Ballyhoo.
And that concludes Chapter 12, the intense game of Shy Guy Says finally comes to an end.
Knuckles: It sure is about time it finally stopped.
Dry Bones: Yeah, 3 chapters all based on that game, sure was a pretty long one.
So, it is down to either Rouge or Luigi, one of them will be the LVP for Day 2.
Who will be the LVP for Day 2? What will be the total scores of the teams? And will this change the whole entire rankings?
Birdo: Uh duh, of course it would.
Tails: Hopefully not by too much though.
If you want to know what happens next, please stay tuned to Chapter 13, which will most likely be the final chapter on Day 2.
Till then, this is bookreader233, saying goodbye to all of you readers out there.
Everyone: BYE!
