It was late morning when Jose had finally shown up. The survivors had woken up on their own. It was well after 8:00 after the first survivor, being Ryoko, woke up.
'Either I missed the wakeup call,' She said sleepily 'or Jose was up all night looking for ways to cut our budget and still keep this interesting.'
Katsuhito, who mumbled something about more sleep time, conked Ryoko on the head. After doing that, Ryoko collapsed because of the 'sleep aid'.
Ryoko closed her eyes and rested again upon her pillow that consisted of shells and sand.
Tenchi woke up at 11:00 and saw that Jose was setting up a screen and projector. Along with those, cans of paint and stacks of lumber. It looked like he was going to be building something. Jose was now in the process of setting up chairs.
Tenchi looked on as Jose finished with the chairs and began construction on a ticket booth.
'Well this is odd.' Tenchi said.
Tenchi looked behind him, into the shelter. He looked from survivor to survivor; trying to find someone he could share his findings with. Someone who might care. Hmm, decisions, decisions.
Tenchi closed his eyes and shook his head violently. HE felt like a train had just hit him traveling at full tilt.
Tenchi leaned over his bedroll and reached under it. He pulled out a palm leaf that had been folded and fastened with some twigs.
Carefully unfolding it, Tenchi saw that he had only 18 black and white checkered berries left.
Knowing that he had to conserve his stash, he took two from the leaf.
Folding the palm back up, he put it back under his bedroll.
Early morning fix.
Tenchi swallowed the berries and leaned over toward Ayeka.
'Hey.' Tenchi said, shaking her lightly. 'Wake up. You have to see this.'
Ayeka slowly opened her eyes and focused on Tenchi. She smiled.
'Since when did MY dreams start coming true?'
'What was that?' Tenchi asked, not too sure if what he just heard was correct.
'Never mind.' She replied, propping herself up on one arm 'What's going on?'
'Just look.' Tenchi said, pointing in Jose's direction.
'What in the world is he doing?' Ayeka asked.
Tenchi shook his head, mostly because it was swimming from those berries. Damn did that feel good.
Jose was now in the process of putting a movie title on a small billboard. It was rimmed with flashing lights.
Ayeka had continued on with talking about something, but Tenchi had zoned out watching a hermit crab scuttle across Washu's empty bedroll.
'Funny crustacean.' Tenchi laughed.
'What?' Ayeka asked, confused as to why Tenchi had said that 'Tenchi, are you listening to me?'
'Every word.' Tenchi lied.
'Then you agree with me. We should try and do that?'
Tenchi began to sweat. It was either drug induced or it was the fact he had NO idea what the hell Ayeka was talking about.
'Forget it for now.' Ayeka said, looking around her. 'We probably shouldn't be talking about this with her right near us.'
Tenchi blinked repeatedly. Woah. Ayeka's face had just turned 8 different colors and then melted like wax. What a trip.
The rest of the survivors woke up soon after Tenchi had fallen over, knocking the support stick of their shelter loose, causing the whole thing to collapse.
Where the hole in the roof above Ryoko had been, it was patched the day before with another coconut. Where the roof fell, along with the rest of the shelter, the coconut again landed and hit Ryoko in the head.
Through the massive confusion and swearing, the survivors could hear Jose.
'Your all awake? Damn. And I was going to use my air horn too.'
One by one, the survivors crawled out of the wreckage.
Ryoko, last to crawl out, carried the coconut with her. She began to walk down the beach.
'Where are you going?' Mihoshi asked.
'Right here to play some baseball.' Ryoko replied.
The remaining survivors and Jose watched as Ryoko tossed the offending nut into the air. As soon as it left her hand, Ryoko pulled her Beam Sword out of nothing. She swung it and connected with the coconut.
It exploded into a million and 3 pieces.
And it's outta' there!' Tenchi yelled.
The four survivors and Jose applauded as Ryoko walked back.
Katsuhito pulled a cooler out of nowhere and he and Mihoshi dumped its contents over Ryoko's head.
'Enough screwing around.' Jose said 'on to the immunity challenge.'
Jose led the survivors over to the front of 5-person theater he had constructed. A white sheet was over the title board.
'Ok kids.' Jose said 'today is going to be real easy.'
'That's what you said about the last challenge.' Ayeka said 'And now we'll never see Washu again.'
'Ok, ok, so we had a few minor setbacks. Let's not bring up old problems.' Jose said 'Today's challenge is almost harmless.'
'Great, so one of us should probably break a bone.' Ryoko said.
'Not hardly.' Jose replied 'Though you WILL wish you were dead, it's not going to happen.'
'I really have a bad feeling about this.' Mihoshi said.
'Well,' Jose said 'My original plan was to air this on an unwitting public, then make my move to take over the world. But, I need some test subjects first. Today's pain parade is-' Jose whips the sheet off the title board. 'Wing Commander.'
All of the survivors groaned in displeasure. Tenchi almost fell over.
'The rules are simple. Last one awake gains immortality tomorrow. Understand?'
The survivors lined up and marched into the theater single file.
Once they were in the door, Jose looked in.
'And stop goose stepping!' Jose yelled.
Jose ran up to the projection booth and pulled out the Wing Commander movie case. It was labeled with random symbols. Among those were toxicity symbols, radiation symbols and occasional skull and crossbones.
Making the final connections to the projector, Jose put the tape in the player, hit play and shielded his eyes.
The movie kicked up immediately, no previews, no credits. Just pure Wing Commander hell.
Jose did not sit around too long before he checked the survivors. It looked like Ayeka and Mihoshi had already fallen over due to horrible movie boredom. Two down, three to go.
After playing Tetris for another few seconds, Jose checked the crowd. Ryoko was down. Now it was Tenchi and Katsuhito in the running.
Jose laughed at their misfortune and went back to gaming.
After a few more lines and a Tetris, Jose checked again. Both Tenchi and Katsuhito were still up. Man, did they have control or what?
More gaming went by. A good solid three minutes of it. Jose checked again. Both of the survivors were still up. No one was THIS good.
Still, both were sitting up.
'No fucking way.' Jose groused 'that's it. I'm going down there.'
Jose shut down the projector and headed down the stairs.
In the theater, Jose looked over the carnage.
Mihoshi had fallen out of her chair and conjured up a plushy penguin to cuddle with as she slept.
Ryoko, on a completely different mindset, was snoring away with one hand down the front of her pants.
Jose held his nose to staunch the blood.
Ayeka, being the normal one, had just fallen out of the chair and sprawled out snoring.
Jose walked to the front to see both Tenchi and Katsuhito.
Jose saw that Tenchi was leaning back, staring at the ceiling. He looked like he was in a coma.
Katsuhito stuck his head around Tenchi so he could see Jose.
'What happened in the movie? I missed it because of my grandson's big head.'
'That's the joke.' Jose said 'Wing Commander was a piece of plot-less shit.'
'Oh.' Katsuhito said.
'Congratulations.' Jose said 'You have gained immortality.'
'Thanks god.' Katsuhito replied 'I'm out of here.' With that said, he up and left.
Jose carefully walked around and woke up the girls, breaking the unfortunate news of their loss. They grumbled and left.
Lastly, Jose went over to Tenchi. He really did not look too good. On closer inspection, Jose found an odd looking berry at his feet. It was black and white with a checkered pattern to it. Jose pocketed it and kicked Tenchi's chair.
Tenchi lurched forward.
'Tetsueo!' Me mumbled before vomiting.
'That's disgusting.' Jose said as he pointed Tenchi toward the door 'Go get yourself cleaned up and lie down. You don't look well.'
Tenchi nodded and headed for the door.
On the way out, Jose noticed Tenchi take two berries, black and white, checker patterned, out of his pocket and toss them in his mouth.
'I'm keeping my eye on you Tenchi.' Jose said quietly. 'I'm going to find out what your up to.'
