I still don't own anything except for all these lame OCs.
I hated them all when I made them and now I'm starting to care about a couple. Crap.
Okay, also, side note. After I finish this arc. (The reality show arc) I'm going to edit all those chapters before chapter 10 I think. Because I reread them and there's some huge really bad areas that I've learned are just offensive after I've grown as a person. So please just bare with me until I fix those up, okay?
I will also make sure the chapters before Kululu joins the reality show are cooler. And I'm going to add more details to all the pointless OCs/some backstory.
Kululu's group sat at a round dinner table waiting for the announcement.
They mostly sat in silence not really knowing what to say about how Yumeme had been dragged off to be executed. Although they suspected Yumeme was partially responsible for Bobobo's death all of them felt that he had also been used as a scapegoat. Nobody really mourned him though.
"All right! As you guys might have wondered, two teams competing against each other just doesn't seem fair anymore, meaning teams will be broken off into teams of two!"" Hostustu announced, "Meaning the friendships you've formed in your teams at the moment will just have to disappear."
What friendships? Kululu wondered to himself
"I suppose that means we won't be a team anymore. I guess you're lucky, Kululu, since you weren't getting along with us much anyway." Mirara pointed out, still mad at being forced to pretend to be female.
"Ku, I guess I am lucky!" Kululu answered
"Voters and viewers from Keron have voted on the two contestants that they want to be forced together into teams of two!" Hostustu answered, "Meaning if one contestant has been carried by his team the viewers have voted to force him with a contestant they don't particularly like. And the most popular contestants will be put together!" Hostustu announced
Well crap. I imagine I'm not that popular. So I'll probably be forced together with someone awful. Anybody but Kuroro or Kinunu though. I mean, I like being a jerk but those guys are just annoying. Kululu thought to himself. Although the true reason he didn't want to be on their teams was because he didn't want to help them win.
"So let me tell you the first team. The new and improved team one! Akaka and Majeje! Congratulations guys since you used to be on a team together. Guess you're together again!" Majeje smiled
Akaka groaned.
"That isn't too bad. I know Akaka pretty well." Majeje smiled.
"You may move to sit by your new team member and say good-bye to your old team." Hostustu told them, "Make it heartwarming! Say what you feel! You're on camera!"
"Bye guys, I guess. I've been on your team for not long and I didn't get to know you that well, but...I've got nothing else to say, I don't really care. Uhhh, hopeful I win!" Majeje answered, he then got up and left to sit by Akaka who hadn't even cared enough to say good-bye to his team.
"Next up team two!" Hostustu announced, "This will be no surprise to anyone, the most popular pair working together, Kinunu and Kuroro! Good luck to you two!"
Kinunu looked smug as if he was happy to have the underling he had made quiet easily still with him.
There's only four of us left. That Nikiki guy, Mirara who's rather mad at me, and Sutoto who's rather useless and a little too friendly. I guess I should root for myself being in the team with Nikiki then. Or Mirara since at least I know him. Kululu thought to himself
"The next team is something that fans didn't vote in, but just became the leftover. Nikiki and Mirara, the new team three!" Hostustu smiled
"Oh god no, that's worse than being with Kululu!" Mirara covered his mouth, obviously distressed. Kululu could tell the cameras were zooming in on Mirara
Nikiki didn't seem that phased and instead sat up gave a small wave to Kuroro, didn't speak to Kinunu at all and left to approach Mirara.
"At least it's someone you know, right?" Nikiki asked him, having heard his distress.
"What do you mean know?" Mirara asked, there was a flicker of nervousness on his face.
"We share a room obviously." Nikiki answered. Mirara sighed recalling that. He wished he could have forgotten that longer.
"Bye Sutoto. Good luck." Mirara gave his best regards to Sutoto. He; however, said nothing to Kululu.
"Ku." Kululu answered
"And the last team, team four. Kululu and Sutoto!" Hostustu announced
God darn it. Kululu cursed in his head, This will be problematic. I got the weakest member for my teammate.
Darn it. I can't lose cuz of this. If I do Mois will be in trouble.
If I did lose though...No, I can't think that. As soon as the mind starts cracking under pressure the body honestly believes what it says. No doubting anything. Things are bigger on the line than my own pride at losing this thing.
"W-we're still on a team together!" Sutoto smiled, "I'm happy!" He hummed
"Why? Ku, ku, ku. Cuz believe me I'm not happy." Kululu responded
"I...I just...We've been roommates so I thought I knew you a little better than everybody else... I t-thought we could b-become friends..." Sutoto frowned deeply
"And why would you chose me for a friend? I'm not the sort of friendly guy and unlike you didn't come here to make friends." Kululu answered
"You're physically weak too...T-that's why...And you're so dedicated to winning...I thought that m-maybe since you knew that I didn't want to win, t-that maybe we could just get farther in the competition together s-since I won't fight against you too win..." Sutoto answered
"Ku..." Makes a fair point. If I was somehow able to pull Sutoto farther along in the competition it would be easy to beat him and disqualify him. "You don't even know why I want to win though, you just know that I want it. Why try to help me or offer to help me instead of someone else?"
"W-well...I-it's because you or Mirara deserve to win. You didn't kill anyone and I k-know you better than anybody else here." Sutoto's reason was far less dramatic than it should be.
"Just don't hinder things, okay? Ku, ku, ku. You've been slightly useful in a few circumstances before but I really don't want to lose this thing cuz we're both physically weak, all right?" Kululu answered.
Sutoto nodded promising.
"Because we want to film early today and broadcast tomorrow, you all will jump into the next challenge immediately instead of resting from your last challenge." Hostustu smiled. (We don't want the news to get distracted by the keronian executed after all.) Hostustu muttered under his breath with a smile on his face.
New immediate challenge? Ku, didn't have time to check it out to see how physical it is...Kululu thought to himself.
"This one will be very physically challenged. After you finish eating you'll all be lowered into a ring, or labyrinth area together, handcuffed to your teammate and put in a sort of survival like game. Bells won't chime or ding when a team gets out, so you won't know until the end if you're the last team standing or the second to last one. The first team out will be the losers though. The goal is to knock the other members of the team unconscious" Hostustu explained, "You can do anything you want to achieve that goal. Our doctors are very skilled after all!"
Unlike others who seemed worried because of that knowledge like Sutoto, Kululu smirked in a creepy but superior way.
Anything goes, huh? Labyrinth where we'll be lowered down to? That means a mechanical system will lower us, meaning I can use any tools or inventions I want. Ku, ku, ku...This will be easy.
"The time limit is 24 hours. You can hide from each other." Hostustu explained. "I see that all of you are done eating, so..." Bodyguards came out of the walls, or panels on the walls, with handcuffs. They went to each team and handcuffed each of them. "Get out both members!" The floor opened and they all begin descending.
"I...I don't know or want to fight though..." Sutoto's eyes seemed to look watery. "I don't want to fight someone like Mirara who has military experience!"
"Calm down. Ku, ku, ku. Crying will make you too loud and attract the others to us." Kululu tried to calm him as each of them were separately plopped into an area.
"The game begins now! Weapons and materials are scattered around various places in the maze!" Hostustu's voice rang loud and clear.
"What are we going to do?" Sutoto asked, "You have military experience, so..."
"At the moment we hide because you're a weakling. And we prepare weapons." Kululu answered, "Ku, ku, ku. Can you aim a gun?" Sutoto shook his head, "No problem, I can make something to make you aim perfectly. You just have to worry about not dying and move your hand where I tell you, since you're handcuffed to me."
I can carry this team. It won't be so bad. Ku, ku, ku. With that, Kululu and Sutoto set off along the walls to hide with Sutoto.
"So shall we hide and wait for the enemy to fall in a sort of trap?" Nikiki asked Mirara after the two felt the area they were in was secure.
Mirara seemed to be a bit uncomfortable with having a hand not free and being handcuffed to the creepy Nikiki.
"Well? Mirara?" Nikiki asked expectantly
"No. This thing has a time limit. We should go out and search for the others. Do you have any battle experience?" Mirara asked
"Only some of the things I learned in training school." Nikiki responded
"Luckily I can carry our team." Mirara huffed. Looking around the walls his eyes picked up the cords and the camera that seemed to be monitoring them.
With the bare minimum of technological knowledge in hacking, he managed to press on the sound chip, which wasn't hidden away, so it couldn't pick up sound.
"There's something more important that I have to ask now. Answer honestly or I'll have to interrogate the information out of you later." Mirara told him
"All right, I'll answer. But only if you answer a question from me first." Nikiki didn't even consider the problems of the question.
"Fine. You go first."
"Do you know me? Before this reality show started did you know me?" Nikiki asked
"..." Mirara was silent for a moment as if processing such an odd question. "What an odd thing to say, and question. Do you have amnesia or something?"
"That's not important at the moment to our goal." Nikiki answered. Mirara paled.
"So you think you have amnesia...You do..." Mirara seemed to try to process this, "I don't know you. Don't worry. We've never met. And I'm glad."
Nikiki sighed, "Maybe it's that Sutoto then..." He seemed truthfully displeased. "You're turn."
"Did you kill Bobobo?" Mirara asked
"No." Nikiki answered, "But I did see it happen and I was a part of the plan. I suppose you could say I was a bystander, just like him."
"You...You jerk..." Mirara felt his anger rising but bit his lip. "Tell me what happened."
"Kinunu wanted to play dirty during the relay competition. Cheat to get the former team you were in out. Bobobo wasn't supposed to be part of it. I didn't know that when he said play dirty he meant kill someone. I mean, injuring and maiming was fine to me, they were people I didn't know. I wanted to see what he would do and his reactions, but it turned out what he did killed someone. I just kept running to the finish though and just let it happen. Which I admit, somewhere inside me I regret a tiny bit. That Bobobo fellow was very close to that Fredodo guy. I feel sorry for him." Nikiki gave an emotionless answer
Mirara punched him.
"You were part of a plan to murder someone innocent." Mirara responded.
"I wanted to see how dedicated my team was to their goals. Although I would do things differently if I could redo it I can't anymore. We all came here for a different reason, we all came to win. Our methods for it might be dirty and treacherous but we all want to the goal." Nikiki told Mirara coldly.
"I can't believe I have to work with you. Such a cold person doing all this just for the fame of being married to the lord of terror. Or is it because you want to creepily have that poor girl as a prize?" Mirara asked keeping his voice just under venomous.
"Might want to not be so hypocritical. After all, from what I observe of you, you're doing it for those exact reasons. Unless you have a 'purer' reason. Most of the people here want the fame. Except for Kinunu who wants the power along with it." Nikiki answered, "I won't deny I'm selfish though and doing it all for myself and for my reason."
"You're sick." Mirara told him
"With that attitude we won't be able to work together and win this thing. Come on. We should find the other teams like you suggested."
"I'm looking for Kinunu. I want to give him a beating." Mirara hissed, "One that I'm allowed to give."
Nikiki nodded and tried to keep up with Mirara's pace.
"This challenge is nothing." Kinunu told Kuroro, "The operators already slipped us in the area with the most weapons. And slipped some more, should we say, deadly weaponry to us."
"We're playing dirty again?" Kuroro asked not frustrated but just curious. "Sounds good to me."
"Of course. This is an anything goes challenge after all." Kinunu smiled
"You really want that princess, don't you?" Kuroro asked
"Of course. She seems to be the only one in my standard range. And think of all the over powered children we could make. I would bring Keron to a new militaristic golden age. And I've heard her powers far surpass the other angolians, far more deadly. Far more powerful." Kinunu answered
"Yeah. That's what I heard too." Kuroro answered. "My prince? Can I ask you something though?"
"If it's appropriate and I decide to answer." Kinunu responded, picking up an electric based weapon.
"What will happen to me if I continue helping you? I mean when I joined this thing I didn't know you were a part of it. I mean, the prince of Keron! Who would have known! And I mean, I'm going after the prize too, so...?" Kuroro asked
"You have no chance of winning. But I expect to get you to runner-up so it will be an easy win. After you aid me I shall give you power and riches like you've never known. And as many slaves of any planet we conquer as you want."
"Can I have some pekoponian slaves? I've heard they're pretty stupid. Barbaric too. I really want to beat some of them up." Kuroro smiled
"Of course." Kinunu answered. Kuroro grinned.
"We should go for that Kululu and Sutoto fellow. They're the weakest." Majeje suggested, since he had been in their team.
"Agreed." Akaka answered, "Good thing I have militaristic experience."
"Good thing I can escape pretty easily with bottles." Majeje smiled
They both felt confident in their abilities, but as soon as they turned the corner of the labyrinth they saw another team, a red keronian and black one.
"Crap." Akaka didn't seem pleased recognizing Kinunu and Kuroro, who he knew were foul tempered and suspected had violent tendencies.
Although that Kinunu guy did get justice on Yumeme. Akaka reminded himself
"A few pesks have appeared before us." Kinunu smiled, getting ready for battle.
Akaka got out a stun gun that he had found, pretty weak, but like most of the weapons there. Luckily he could handle it with one hand.
Akaka's speed in drawing a weapon was better than Kuroro's and Kinunu's but his weapon was weaker. It stunned Kuroro for a moment letting Kinunu fire at Akaka.
The gun's electrical beams immediately hit causing pain to wrack all through Akaka's body. He collapsed on the ground, unconscious but not all that badly damaged due to his stellar endurance.
Majeje slipped out of his handcuff, it unlocking as soon as one of the members had lost consciousness.
Majeje turned to run, feeling out classed.
"Where you going?" Kuroro asked, "We aren't done with you yet."
He pointed a flamethrower at Majeje.
"Maybe you'll survive the coma, unlike Bobobo who you left." Kuroro then pressed the button on his flamethrower letting Majeje be engulfed.
"There was really no need to hurt him that harshly. Although, I don't really not approve. He was just a non-keron after all." Kinunu laughed
"Sorry, just wanted to let off some stress after being hit like that. Maybe he'll survive, I don't know. But in this challenge we technically haven't done anything wrong like that." Kuroro answered. Kinunu nodded and smiled, leaving Majeje and Akaka on the ground.
Kululu waited for a long time with Sutoto for others to come and attack. Eventually he and Sutoto begin playing cards to pass the time.
"Where did you get those cards anyway?" Kululu asked
"Fredodo taught me the trick how to get cards out of nowhere. He was a great guy." Sutoto answered
Before Kululu could kick Sutoto's butt he heard something in the distance. Footsteps.
Well, he heard from a camera that he had hacked into that there were footsteps.
"They're coming." Kululu told Sutoto, handing him a gun and a belt that he had made that gave increased accuracy. He put a hand on his headphones very pleased about his built in ability in his antennas to cause noise and freeze and if applied long enough cause unconsciousness.
Awaiting the keronians that were approaching they hid in a corner.
Mirara jumped out with a gun of his own.
Sutoto, frightened dropped the gun he was holding.
"It's not Kinunu. Darn." Mirara bit his lip. Nikiki held a mediocre stun gun and Mirara held a club, obviously planning on clubbing someone until unconsciousness, a grappling hook was at tied to his waist.
Kululu hit a button on his headphones to pop out and cause noise freezing both of them. Mirara, already a step ahead in actual hand to hand combat, jumped back and covered his ears, having seen the technique a few times before.
Nikiki followed his example, covering his ears firmly.
"Tch." Kululu pulled Sutoto back, trying to judge the distance Nikiki's stun gun worked at.
"It would be best to flee." Kululu decided to Sutoto.
"B-but this is a maze!" Sutoto pointed out.
"I mapped it all out thanks to the cameras I hacked into. I memorized the layout. Ku, ku, ku." Kululu responded. "We just have to..." He paused, "Run." He didn't like the sound of that word.
Neither did Sutoto, who shivered and frowned frustrated.
"You won't have time too!" Mirara yelled as the two of them started running. Mirara fired his grappling hook hooking onto corners and pulling towards them.
Kululu and Sutoto were not as fast.
"I've got an opening!" Nikiki fired the stun gun at Sutoto as he tried to breath from all the running. Sutoto was stunned, and having no endurance at all, quickly fell over, unconscious.
Kululu's handcuff was let off.
"Ku, At least I've got two hands now." Kululu answered. Pressing his headphones again, Mirara and Nikiki covered their ears, as Kululu had a chance to flee by finding a panel in the wall used by cameramen and escaping.
"We've got to catch up to him." Mirara decided.
The two continued their chase.
Kululu easily found more weapons and quickly was able to make some new creations with the blueprints layered out in his head.
Waiting for Mirara and Nikiki he made a small force field in his spare time.
Mirara and Nikiki found him after a bit of time and begin their attack again as Kululu smugly sat in a force field with curry.
He didn't predict it would last for long with them beating at it, but he was ready when they got in to shoot them with his gun that would turn them to stone.
The force field fell to pieces and Mirara pounced.
Much quicker than Kululu he managed to get too close to Kululu to initiate hand to hand combat.
Nikiki shot Kululu with the stun gun.
"Ku, I got the frequency of those electrical waves. You're just charging my headphones now." Kululu laughed.
I won't use it yet though. I'll wait for an appropriate moment.
Mirara kicked the gun out of Kululu's hand while he was gloating.
Kululu cursed and let Mirara thrust his body out to hit Kululu now that he was defenseless with his club.
Fell for it. Kululu smiled, knowing that he wasn't as good of a shot with a gun as Giroro was. Mirara would have dodged his shot otherwise. He turned on his headphones while Mirara had both his hands out and was thrusting towards Kululu and while Nikiki was continuously shooting him.
They both froze and fell to the ground as their ears burned in pain.
Before Kululu could pick up the gun to turn them to stone though, Mirara desperately flopped onto the ground pointing his grappling hook at Kululu.
"No..You aren't winning this thing..." Mirara tried to live through the pain.
"No. You aren't." Kinunu's voice seemed to laugh, having approached the three while they were fighting. "Bye." He shot the electrical gun at Mirara.
Nikiki however saw this as he shot and flopped over from the pain in his ears, on top of Mirara protecting him from the electrical blast.
If this was on purpose or to protect him, Mirara would probably never know.
Nikiki was bleeding from all the electricity though.
"Did we get both of them?" Kuroro asked
"We didn't get him though. I'm going to have some fun." Kinunu smiled
Kululu however had reached the gun that was able to turn people into stone.
"Click." Kululu shot Kuroro before Kuroro could shot him with a flamethrower. Kuroro turned to stone, unable to move.
Kinunu's handcuff was left off.
"You still have to deal with me though." Running forward before Kululu's weapon recharged Kinunu pointed the electricity gun at Kululu. "I'll have fun beating you. You don't know your place."
"Oh, trust me, I do. It's above you right? I mean you don't have any abilities besides your birthright. Ku, ku, ku. What a pathetic jealous guy." Kululu distracted Kinunu by getting under his skin.
Kinunu shot the electrical gun.
Kululu dodged ever so slightly to let it charge his stone gun.
"Thank you!" Kululu smiled. He hit the button on it.
Kinunu grabbed the closest thing to him to defend himself. Which happened to be Nikiki, turning him to stone instead.
"You're the pathetic one. Having only your intelligence, no looks, nobody liking you. You don't deserve that angolian girl. Unlike me who will treat her like she's meant to be used." Kinunu responded
"Used? Meant...To be used?" Kululu asked, it was enough to distract him for a moment, letting Kinunu punch him in the gut, causing him to fall to the ground winded.
"You'll want to be unconscious after the beating you'll get for your insolence." Kinunu smiled standing over Kululu. "And yes, that angolian will be my perfect princess. Possibly even beautiful enough for me to be able to copulate many children with. Everyday. Does that bother you? But you said so yourself that the only thing threatening about her was her sparkles. I don't know what that means but that means I can easily win her over. She'll be a wonderful princess or trophy of this game."
"Don't." Kululu answered from the ground, his hands went up almost pitifully as if he was reaching for something.
Kinunu thought it was a gun but it was his headphones.
Kinunu covered his ears, having heard some loud noises from his area and having been able to track Kululu and Mirara because of that.
"Touch Mois." Kululu responded, hitting a switch that didn't make his antennas come out but instead wires. Lots and lots of wires.
They swarmed Kinunu as if they were serpents, grabbing him and lifting him off the ground.
Kululu sat up, and eventually stood up, his glasses gleaming and letting his wires work for him, controlling them and making them move to Kinunu's throat instead of his waist.
"Loss of air should get you out soon. Ku, ku, ku." Kululu began strangling the guy as Kinunu gasped.
Before he could complete the strangling though, Mirara got up, being saved from the electrical blast by Nikiki and still fine, only lying on the ground to watch things unfold. He hit Kinunu with Nikiki's stun gun, knocking the prince out.
"You'll lose popularity if you strangle keron's prince." Mirara told him. He still had the stun gun out intending to shoot Kululu as well and win.
"Tch. You're right. Wouldn't have made much difference though on my popularity chart. Ku, ku, ku." Kululu listened to Mirara's words and dropped Kinunu, not gently at all, onto the floor.
"Just us against each other then, huh?" Kululu asked
Mirara didn't shoot.
"Do you know her?" Mirara asked, questioning him at the moment instead of shooting. Both of his hands were on the gun.
Ah, curiosity beat intuition. Kululu decided, realizing that Mirara had heard him talk about Mois. He moved his mouth like he was going to answer but instead hit his headphones causing sound waves since Mirara was distracted.
"Psych! I'm not going to answer! Ku, ku, ku!" Kululu rolled majestically on the floor to where he had dropped the stone gun again and hit Mirara, turning him to stone as well.
"Team four is the victor!" Hostustu called out. "Now get some paramedics down there. Stat!"
Hostustu gathered the teams after a few hours of Kululu's gun wearing off.
"So...Someone got seriously hurt again...But don't worry! He'll probably survive as soon as he gets out of that coma he's in! Probably! Stellar performance by our very own prince though! Showing how strong he was." Hostustu was obviously kissing up to Kinunu. "(Although I do think I went a little overboard with anything goes in the rules. That was way too far.)" Hostustu muttered under his breath. "But because team 1 lost, Majeje and Akaka were supposed to fight it out to see who had to leave. But since Majeje's in a coma I guess he loses by default! Umm...No saying good bye to him cuz of coma and I'm so glad this show can't get sued." Hostustu answered, "Because the military was the one who employed us!" He smiled again
"I won. Ku, ku, ku." Kululu sighed very overjoyed.
"Sorry, I couldn't help." Sutoto told him.
Mirara headed towards Kululu.
"I still don't like you very much." Mirara told him. "But...You did pretty well out there...I wanted to tell you I looked it up and your popularity has increased with fans."
"I already knew that. I looked it up quicker than you ever could. Ku, ku, ku." Mirara stormed away angry by his insults.
Kululu let him be. He knew he still had to win though. Things were getting more serious too. Kinunu was trying at whatever cost as well.
Review please! Longest chapter!
