Chapter 4

Sonic: All right, the votes are in. The first person to leave the Hero team is….PEACH!

The hero team looks shocked as Peach walks up to Sonic.

Zelda: I hate to see Peach go…well at least I'm the sole princess!

Dixie: It sucks because it's the other team that votes the cast off. Because of this, we feel sad that the person leaves, as opposed to if we voted them off, we want them to leave.

Sonic: All right Peach, any parting words?

Peach: Yes. I like to say…go HEROS!

Sonic: Well said(I think). Anyway, when a person gets eliminated, they fall into the Inferno Pit, where they are trapped there for the rest of the game!

Peach: WHAT! (A trap hole appears under Peach and she falls)

Gruntilda: Oh ! That is a crazy twist! I wonder how she will survive their in that fiery pit.

Sonic: All right, everyone get a good night's rest. Tomorrow's challenge will be harder than the first!

Day 4:

At the Hero House:

Kirby: Anyone else notice how green apples taste a little sour than red apples?

Krystal: Really? I never had apples before, so I wouldn't know much about them.

Kirby: MMM…I'm so hungry:Opens up fridge and gobbles almost all the food in one inhale. BURP! Ah, that was good.

Krystal: Hey! You can't just eat all that food!

Kirby: Sorry, it's a bad habit.

Zelda(in background): Kirby seems to have this "eating" problem. Just this morning, while he was inhaling some carrots, he accidently sucked up Pikachu!

Kirby(in a Pikachu form): Ahh sweet! This is awesome!

Pikachu: Pika…

In the girl's bedroom

Dixie: Hey Krystal, can I ask you a question

Krystal: Yeah sure

Dixie: How it's like being the only girl in the StarFox team

Krystal: It's kinda strange at first, but after a while, it's kinda interesting. Everyone asks me if me and Fox and together. The thing is that I really don't have any feeling towards him. But I like him as a friend.

Fox: Hey ladies, get over here! We got a message disk!

:Krystal and Dixie walk to the main room:

At the villian's house:

All the villains are busy watching the message disk

Sonic: Hey guys, it's me again! This mission will take place at 4:00 this afternoon. Because you guys have one extra player, one person must sit out this mission.

Wario: Who should sit out?

Gannondorf: It's kinda hard to tell what kind of challenge it is? If it's a physical challenge, we should let Birdo sit out. She seems kinda weak.

Birdo: Excuse me!

Bowser: Gannondorf does have a point

Birdo: No he doesn't! I'm the fastest one out of all the people in my clan! If it's a speed mission, I'll definitely be of some help.

Menardi: You know, the mission might be like a puzzle-like challenge. In that case, Vaati should be left back.

Vaati: What! Why me?

Menardi: Remember the last mission where you couldn't solve the easy math problem? Face it, you suck at mental games!

Joanna: And you're not very athletic

Wario: So it's settled! Vaati will get left back!

Vaati: That's not fair…

4:00- Both teams arrive at Casino Night Zone

Joanna: This place looks exciting!

Samus: Is it night here all the time?

Sonic: Hey guys! Nice of you all to come here! All right, this challenge will require casino skills as well as teamwork!

Fox: Are we gonna have to do any gambling?

Sonic: Not quite. This challenge is gonna be…Slots,

Link: Slots? That's it?

Sonic: Of course not! Let me finish before asking five million questions! Anyway, this challenge will include Slots, Roulette and Craps. Three people from each team will be in one station. Each team will compete against each other in these games. You get to choose who goes into what team. However, there is one catch. These aren't your ordinary games. If you look to your left, the Slot Machine is similar to the one from Sonic 2 and the Sonic and Knuckles bonus stage: You have to jump into the machine and two people have to pull the lever. The person who jumps in the machine has to use the bumpers to climb up to the slots. You pull the lever three times. The team with the most points wins the game. Fortunately, there is no Robotniks so you cannot lose points.

Mario: That's good that you cannot lose points. Basically, if we get 3 777's that will rack up 100 points!

Sonic: The second game, Roulette, will require luck. One person will get three chips, and have to bet on three numbers. If you notice to the right of the slot machine, the roulette wheel contains one HUGE ball. Two people will have to push the ball and move the wheel. You only do this ONCE! If both teams don't get a number. You repeat until one teams get a number. If both teams get a number, the higher points win: That means if you bet a 35, you get 35 points(I know it's different but I forgot the regular rules) The wheel is designed so that the higher numbers are harder to get than the lower numbers.

C.Falcon: It may be risky to just bet low numbers, but if the opposing teams bets all high numbers and loses, we will win overall!

Sonic: The final game will be Craps, if you look to the far right of the arena. There are three die. If you notice, they are trapped in a cage. They require a sequence to open the lock. It will be like Mastermind: You input four codes, and every turn, they tell you how many are correct, how many are the right code, but different spot, etc. After you unlock the die, you throw the die until you get all 1's or all 6's. If a die is 1 or 6, you can choose to leave it there. However, if any of the next die that are thrown do not get a 1 or 6, they will be locked up again, and you have to solve the code again!

Bowser: Craps seems like the hardest of them all!

Pikachu: This challenge seems to require skill as well. It certainly will be very challenging

Sonic: You guys have 5 minutes to choose your team stations.

Hero meeting:

Mario: Alright guys, let's think about this, for the slot machine, I wanna be the one who jumps in: I am an expert jumper who can manipulate the bumpers easily.

Link: I like solving puzzles, so put me in the Craps station.

Samus: The roulette ball seems kinda huge. I think me and Fox should take care of that one.

Kirby: What should I do?

Mario: Hmm..do you wanna help Link with the puzzles?

Kirby: Sure I'm good with puzzles

Zelda: Me and Krystal can help pull the huge lever.

Pikachu: I'll be the one who can bet the roulette chips. I watch Ash play in Celadon and I picked up some good tips.

Dixie: I guess I'm stuck helping with the puzzle

Villain Meeting:

Bowser: That huge ball: I think Wario and me should push that son of a bitch.

C.Falcon: I think me, Birdo and Grunty should go in the slots. Birdo can jump in the slot machine

Joanna: I can do the puzzle part

Menardi: Same here

Gannondorf: After making traps in my castle, that puzzle is so easy!

Nergal: I'm no good with puzzles. I'll go with the roulette.

Sonic: Alright in the Slots, it will be: Mario, Zelda and Krystal vs. C.Falcon, Birdo and Gruntilda

In the Roulette table: Pikachu, Samus and Fox McCloud vs. Nergal, Wario, and Bowser

In the craps table: Link, Dixie, and Kirby vs. Joanna, Gannondorf, and Menardi.

In the slots table, Mario easily jumps in the slots while Birdo has a hard time getting up there. Then, the slots turn and turn. The heroes get: 3 Bars! That's 50 points for them. The villains get: 3 Bars as well! The score is tied. In the second spin, the heroes get 3 Sonics! They get a total of 125 points. The villains get…2 Sonics and a Tails: They only get 5 points! In the third spin, Mario slips and falls leaving him far behind. Birdo gets up, jumps in, and gets 3 777's! Their grand total is 155! Mario gets up, jumps in and prays for a high score. They get…3 Tails: That gives them 30 points! The score is tied: 155 to 155.

Sonic: All right, go again this will be sudden death!

So Mario and Birdo jump in together at the same time. Mario gets…2 Tails and a Bar. That gets him nothing! Birdo gets…2 Sonics and another Sonic! That gives them 75 points!

Sonic: Villains win station 1!

At the roulette table:

Pikachu: Hmm…I'll try a little bit of both worlds. I'll bet one chip on 5, one on 25(my pokedex number) and one on 33.

Nergal: I'm going with high points! Come on 36,35,and 34! I can't lose!

Wario and Bowser push one ball while Samus and Fox push the other. Wario and Bowser goes first. There ball goes and goes, and they get…1!

Nergal: WTF! That is SO not fair. Let's hope the heroes miss as well

Samus and Fox finally get their ball in the wheel, but it takes them a while to spin it. When they get it to spin, the ball lands on…25!

Pikachu: Oh yeah! I win this one!

At the craps table:

Link: Hmm so it's color coded…let's try…Red, Blue, Green and Orange(BTW there are 8 possible colors)

After inserting it… x O O –

Kirby: So Blue and Green and correct. Lets try Brown Blue Green and Blue

After inserting it…x O O O

Dixie: We're so close! Let's change the first one to Blue

Link: I doubt there will be three blues!

Dixie: Well we have all the time in the world. Just look at the villain table

At the villain table:

Gannondorf: I know what I'm doing! It's Blue, Yellow, Yellow, Red

Menardi: We put Red for the last one already! It doesn't work

Gannondorf: It has to make sense! It was shaded!

Joanna: That means it was in the wrong spot.

Gannondorf: So Let's put Blue Red Yellow Yellow

Menardi: Can we use different colors! We've used Blue Red and Yellow the whole time! Let's try Pink Yellow Red Blue

Joanna: Why can't we just put them in and see. We have no limit whatsoever

After inserting it… x O x

Gannondorf: Let's put Red in front! And let's put in Purple and Orange in the end

Menardi: Fine

After inserting it… O O x x

Gannondorf: DAMN!

The two teams struggle to finish the puzzle. The heroes insert Purple Blue Green Blue

After inserting it… O O O O

Dixie: Yes! Now let's do this!

Link throws his first die and gets a 2

Dixie gets a 3

Pikachu gets a 3

Dixie: Does this mean their trapped again!

Sonic: Nope, only if you save one.

Link: Let's try again!

Link gets a 6

Dixie gets a 2

Pikachu gets a 2

Dixie: Let's not save it

Link: WHAT! We have a 6 already.

Pikachu: Yeah only one. We should only save it if there are two of them

Link: Fine…

Meanwhile in the villain table:

Joanna: ARGH! Listen to me: Let's put Red Yellow Orange Yellow

After inserting it… O O O x

Menardi: Yes we're close! Now for the last one, let's put Red

They get an x

Gannondorf: Try red

They get an x again!

Joanna: This is SO hard!

At the hero table:

Link rolls a 6

Dixie rolls a 6

Pikachu rolls a 4

Link: We're gonna save it!

Dixie: Alright Pika, don't screw up!

Pikachu:gulp: I'll try

Pikachu rolls a…

In the villain table:

Gannondorf: YES! Finally it was Red Yellow Orange Green. Now's lets quickly roll. We are far behind.

Gannondorf rolls a 1

Joanna rolls a 1

Menardi rolls a…4

Gannondorf: Keep it!

Sonic: This is exciting. Pika and Menardi both need a 6 and 1 respectively to win this game. This is a must watch moment

Menardi gets a 4

Pikachu gets a 6!

Sonic: Heroes win! Heroes win!

For there prize: You guys win…a year supply of food!

Everyone: YAY!

Kirby:

Krystal: Oh god…Kirby, you get half. OK!

Kirby: Sure that's OK with me!

Sonic: All right heroes, congrats! For the villains, we'll see you at the Inferno tomorrow evening. Have a good night people!
