Hack:

Hack: So the actual challenges are now beginning, and it's day 2! Just a reminder of the rules. Muses, take it away!

Mario: (sighs) starting at day 2, two groups fight in an immunity challenge, and the loser must vote off a team member by the end of each trio of days… mama mia…

Mewtwo: You're too lazy. The second day of the cycle is the reward challenge between two groups.

Fox: And the third day is the solo challenge, where the loser must leave regardless of the votes.

Kirby: Pyo! And the cycle begins again! (eats a pie)

Hack: Excellent! So basically, each chapter is just one challenge. It may seem slow, but I'll probably make it more detailed than many other survivor fics. Hopefully it'll last and won't get too redundant or whatever, as survivor is clearly more than just the challenges!

Day 2

Red Team

Roy yawned loudly at the morning sun. "Good morning sunshine!" he said, stretching himself. Everyone around him was asleep, or basically most of the team. "Geez, everyone's such a sleepy bum… Well that's because we just partied a bit together."

Roy jumped off of the tree house to see Samus and Rundas wide awake.

"What are you two doing up so early?" he asked.

"Should say the same to you, if that's cool for you," said Rundas. "Your name is… Ron?"

"Roy."

"Right. Apparently someone stole our leftover bacon."

"WHAT?"

Samus nodded. "So we'll have to look in the pond for some breakfast. Whoever stole the food in the middle of the night, we'll find out…"

Louie was also outside, but he was asleep next to a tree. A few pikmin were trying to wake him up, but he was too deep in slumber.

"Wait, we've got Mewtwo. He can read people's minds!" said Roy.

Yes I can, said Mewtwo. However, if one's willpower and mind is strong enough, he or she can repel me. Still, if only one person repels me and everyone else is innocent, it should be quite obvious who stole the food.

Louie sprang awake, his eyes wide open. He looked at Mewtwo in horror.

"Duh… I have something to do in the trees… Protection…" he said, chomping on a few pikpik carrots. He then ran off.

"Did you read Louie's mind?" asked Samus.

Yes, I did… He has something secret that I could not reveal because he ran off too quickly. However, he does seem truthful in setting up protection around the treehouses.

"Didn't snake do that already?" asked Roy.

"Hm… Snake's that guy that set up the mines and stuff, right? The shady guy?" asked Rundas.

"Yep," said Samus. "Pretty handy guy. A little bit overkill though."

A piece of paper fell from the sky and onto the ground in the middle of the group.

"A piece of paper?" asked Roy.

Doctor Mario climbed down the ladder, yawning. "Good morning…" he said. "Is Peach awake yet?"

"Peach isn't on our team," said Samus.

"Mama-mia, she's the best cook out of all of us."

"Anyways, this is a challenge paper," said Rundas. He began to read it aloud. "Sixteen smashers on each team, six will fight in a crew battle of six lives. A classic smashing battle this is, as you should all be familiar with. No items, on the peak of the mountain are ideal battle conditions."

"Seems like an ordinary smash contest to me," said Samus.

"Wonder which team we're up against…" said Roy. "We're at a disadvantage though. No offense, Rundas, but we have the most newcomers…"

"It's cool with me, I'll just watch the first match and adjust," said Rundas.

Green Team

"KK Slider, you're awake already?" asked Geno.

"Yep, I just strum a few chords here and there. I sleep a bit, don't need too much," said KK Slider.

"I can't sleep. I'm a puppet, so naturally I watch around the beach house. Seems like a pretty peaceful island to me though."

"Don't you need some form of rest, dude? Even I need my rest from guitar playing."

"My body is that of a puppet. I don't get tired. I also have energy powers which can help out in our challenges. With high speed, stamina, and strong projectiles, I think I can help a lot in these challenges."

"What about power? That's something I lack."

"I don't mean to sound conceited, but I am also stronger. However, my body is very fragile…"

"Ah… What's your name again?"

"Geno. It's nice to meet you, KK Slider."

They both shook hands.

"Any words about this morning's challenge?" asked the Dalmatian.

"Yes. In fact, a slip of paper fell from the skies. It's about our challenge, and we are facing one of the other two teams today in the immunity challenge."

"This should be fun. What does it say?"

Geno read the piece of paper. "Sixteen smashers on each team, six will fight in a crew battle of six lives. A classic smashing battle this is, as you should all be familiar with. No items, on the peak of the mountain are ideal battle conditions."

"A crew battle? What's that, mate?"

Geno shrugged. "I'm new here too. We should wake up the others though."

KABOOM!!

"I told you, the sun rises in the east!" yelled Falco, holding a rocket launcher.

"But I fucking disagree, you little punk!" yelled Wolf, charging his bayonet-blaster.

Everyone came out of the beach house from the loud noises. Instinctively, Mario kicked Falco's weapon from his hands and restrained him. At the same time, Sonic was right behind Wolf, disarming him.

"Will we have to do this every day?" asked Sonic, sighing.

"I wouldn't-a be surprised if we did, mama mia…" replied Mario.

"Hey! What's a crew battle!" said KK Slider.

"We have news of our new challenge," said Geno.

Toon Link jumped down and read the slip of paper.

"Oh! A crew battle! Basically each team has six people, and each team selects one person to face the other. After one is defeated, his or her team selects another person to fight with the previous opponent, who will keep his stock or damage percentage from before. It's kinda like switching in people."

"That makes sense…" said KK Slider. "I'm not too suited for this stuff though."

"Everyone has their own talents," said Geno. "You may not be a fighter, but I'm sure there will be challenges where you will be useful."

"I worry about being voted off as well…"

"Nah, everyone enjoys your music," said Ash. "I'd doubt anyone would want to kick you off…"

"BEEP BEEP!" Mr. Game & Watch nodded in agreement, holding up a flag saying 7.

"I say we vote off that little guitar punk," said Wario.

"Anything to get us further," said Wolf. "He'll be useless in combat."

Jigglypuff jumped in. "Hey… Can I join?"

"Oy! Only tough guys here!" said Wario.

"Chill, you fat ass," said Wolf. "Power doesn't matter in these alliances crap."

"But… KK Slider, he's great and all, but… I want to sing for everyone," said Jigglypuff.

"Well we do lack in numbers, and numbers are more important than power," said Wolf. "You're in."

"WOLF! I expected more from you!" said Wario.

"Didn't I just tell you, numbers are more important than power, you idiot?" asked Wolf. "And you're too loud, which was why Jigglypuff came here, damn it!"

"But I was sneaking around anyways, so I would've found out," said Jigglypuff.

"Fine… But keep this alliance a secret!" said Wolf. "We don't want to get caught by any idiots, especially that cocky bird this early in the damn game."

Blue Team

Lucario was meditating outside the cavern, hovering a few inches above the ground in a cross-legged position.

ROB was also scanning the area around himself. Lucario and ROB became quick partners due to their similarities, despite their differences. Neither have to eat or sleep, although Lucario does need rest when fighting.

So, ROB, any news of any challenges detected? Asked Lucario.

"NO SIGNS HAVE BEEN DETECTED YET."

KABOOM!!

Kirby was sent flying out of the cavern opening… again…

"AND THAT'S GOING TO BE THE LAST TIME YOU'LL EVER STEAL OTHER PEOPLE'S FOODS!!" screamed Peach, swinging her frying pan. Tom Nook was also at her knees, swinging his own frying pan.

"Geez, geez, beating up that little puffball is quite fun, isn't it?" Tom Nook asked.

"I've got more bananas that I found in the trees," said Diddy Kong. "I hid it until Peach knocked Kirby out, so we can eat it."

"Man, shouldn't we be getting news of the new challenge yet?" asked Luigi.

ROB and Lucario came in. "THERE ARE NO CHALLENGES TO DATE."

As far as I know, the other two teams are in the immunity challenge right now. said Lucario.

"At least we can rest then!" said Isaac.

"Nuh uh! There's more stuff to do outside this cavern!" said Peach.

"I agree," said Metaknight. "We'll need to scout out further into the island."

"Um… guys…" said Marth. "Some slip of paper fell in my hands…"

Everyone crowded around him.

"Hey… This is good!" said Luigi. "This means that I won't have to deal with mean people!"

"Yeah, the other two teams are duking it out today," said Marth. "But that means we will definitely be in the solo and the reward challenge…"

"So Lucario's theory was correct…" said Isaac. "Pretty smart."

Don't mention it. replied Lucario.

Kirby came flying back in, grunting.

"Ugh… What happened… Oh, breakfast!"

He then sucked in all of the untouched food before any of the other smashers got to touch it.

Everyone, literally everyone, turned around to Kirby with an evil glare.

"…Uh…?? Pyo?" He asked cutely.

"I've tried asking you nicely…" said Peach, with an evil grin. "I've tried to beat you up… I tried kicking you out… But even that won't stop you from eating my cooked food…"

KABOOM!!

Immunity Challenge

"Hello, hello, and good morning!" Hack cried happily as both the Red Team and the Green Team finally reached the peak of the central mountain.

"Wow, it's such a nice view from here!" gasped Jigglypuff.

"Geez, I feel bad for you, Falco…" said Fox. "You're stuck with Wolf…"

"You punk, I'm going to take you down," said Wolf.

"Try me," said Fox.

FOOM!!

Suddenly, Fox was in an Arwing and Wolf was in his Wolfen. They were both firing bombs and lasers at each other, creating HUGE explosions above.

"PYOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!" Kirby cried, flying in the air. He suddenly found himself between two big ships.

"Kirby??" both Fox and Wolf cried.

Too late.

KABOOM!!

"Told ya it's ten times worse…" said Ness, smacking his own forehead in embarassment.

"Wow... How did they get those ships?" asked Geno.

"Plot hole," said Hack. He snapped his fingers and both ships disappeared, sending Fox and Wolf dropping down in the air.

BAM! Wolf fell flat on his face.

At the last second, Fox used his reflector to stop his momentum, then he landed safely on the ground.

"You'll never beat me," said Fox.

"Save the fighting for the challenge!" said Krystal. "Please, there's no need to waste your energy already!"

"Okay! Fine! Allow me to explain the rules!" Hack bellowed. "This is the immunity challenge, the first one, and to bring things to an exciting start, we're starting with something most of you are already familiar with."

"Smash battles…" everyone muttered.

"Right! So each person that participates will have one life! Standard professional rules, save for the lives. This area is a nice, flat surface, reminiscent of the familiar Final Destination."

"It should be better since there's no corner of death right below the edge…" muttered Ness.

"JESUS CHRIST!! I hate that corner of death!" Fox, Falco, Wolf, Zelda, and Yoshi cried.

"What's the corner of death?" asked Geno.

Mario chuckled. "Mama mia… Well… in the Brawl Final Destination, it actually gimps many people's recoveries. If a character that can only recover in a straight direction is directly under the edge, it's impossible for him or her to recover since you'll hit the bottom of the floor. It's why Hack prefers Battlefield or Animal Crossing…"

"At least those cheap deaths are gone," said Falco. "Half of my deaths are because of that stupid damn corner!"

"For once, I agree with you, you chicken," said Wolf.

"Okay, so each team will select one character to start with," said Hack. "After one person is KO'd, or falls off the edge, the losing team will select the next smasher in line to follow up. The winner keeps his or her damage percentage. The first team to lose six smashers will lose this challenge!"

"KO? Damage percentage?" asked KK Slider.

"Ah… Basically, you're in a fight. The more damage you take, the higher your percentage goes and the farther you're sent flying," explained Hack. "And you're KO'd when you can't get back on top of the stage. Anyways, pick your smashers!!"

Each team got together to discuss.

"We shouldn't start with a newcomer," said Fox. "No offense, but you might as well watch how the pros do it first before trying."

"Find by me," said Krystal.

"Cool for me," said Rundas.

"Grrr…" said Goroh. "I wish I was facing off against Captain Falcon…"

"We don't know who they're starting with first, so…" explained Link.

"I'll go," said Zelda. "I can transform, so I can adjust to more situations than any of you."

"Good idea. Who votes for Zelda?" asked Link. Everyone except the newcomers raised their hands.

With the other team…

"All right, we need to start with someone that can face off kinda equally against most people," said Mario. "Ash, we need you with your three pokemon."

"Will do," said Ash, smiling.

"Don't lose this one!" said Sonic.

Ash and Zelda went up to the stage, staring at each other.

"Match one, BEGIN!" yelled Hack.

Ash sent forth Squirtle, just as Zelda charged a Din's fire.

"Go Squirtle! Charge it!" cried Ash.

"Squirtle squirt!" Squirtle charged his water gun, then he rolled away just before Zelda's attack exploded on him. He ran towards her, just as Zelda unleashed another Din's Fire.

Squirtle drew into his shell by using withdraw, blocking the attack. At the same time, he tripped Zelda by hitting her legs in his shell. Squirtle immediately jumped up and flipped his tail up, knocking Zelda into the air upwards. He used a midair jump to juggle Zelda again, but Zelda stabbed her feet downwards, sending Squirtle to the ground.

"Come one, Zelda! Heel of Doom!" cried Roy.

Zelda landed on the ground just as Squirtle ran towards her. Suddenly, Squirtle went into his shell and turned abruptly. Zelda rolled backwards to create spacing, but Squirtle slid towards Zelda again. He immediately came out of his shell, still sliding extremely fast, and created an explosion of water right where Zelda was.

BAM!

Zelda was sent flying upwards, but she wasn't out yet. Zelda transformed in the air while she was out of range, turning into the agile Sheik. Sheik pointed her leg down, shooting downwards and hitting Squirtle. Sheik immediately fired several needles at Squirtle, but Squirtle used withdraw again to block it. Squirtle landed, shooting forward in his shell and hit Sheik.

Sheik was off the stage. She used a midair jump and vanished right above the edge. At the last second, however, Squirtle unleashed water gun, pushing Sheik away from the edge, finishing the brief match.

"GAME! Select your next one!" cried Hack.

"My god, I'm so sorry!" cried Zelda, who just transformed back.

"Don't be, you weakened Squirtle," said Link, putting his arm around her. "We're not down by a stock yet."

"Psh! I can do so much better than that!" cried Porky.

"Quiet, you can't do any better," said Roy.

"I can go, I can chain throw Squirtle. I can just grab him, grab him, grab him, grab him, on and on and on and on..." said Popo.

"But you're alone," said Doctor Mario. "I have an idea, let's send out Donkey Kong. He can tank for us since he's a heavy weight."

"Wha?" said Donkey Kong, confused.

Everyone selected DK.

Donkey Kong went up next. Squirtle slid towards him in his shell, but Donkey Kong smashed his hands together right where Squirtle was, piercing through the shell and sending Squirtle flying.

Squirtle wasn't out just yet, though. Squirtle barely grabbed the edge after a waterfall attack, and Donkey Kong was a few feet from the edge. Squirtle climbed back up and squirted water at Donkey Kong, pushing him away with this defensive maneuver.

Unfortunately for Squirtle, while he was flying, Donkey Kong already charged his giant punch, and his giant punch had quite the punch in its range, so the very tip struck Squirtle.

BAM!

"Game! Both teams are down by one, and Donkey Kong is still at zero percent! It's anyone's game!"

"Not yet! Donkey Kong is slow…" said Falco.

"He has excellent range though, so Sonic won't really be a good counter," said Ness.

In the end, they selected Pit. Donkey Kong's eyes widened.

"Crap…"

"GO!"

Pit fired arrows. Arrow after arrow. Donkey Kong side stepped half of them while running towards Pit, but he was too big and his damage meter ranked up quickly. When he reached Pit, though, Pit dashed back.

Pit underestimated the ape's range. Donkey Kong swung his long arm in front of him, knocking Pit back a little. Pit hopped away from the edge to avoid Donkey Kong, who was at the edge. However, Donkey Kong swiftly jumped off, shooting his legs down into Pit's body and sending him down.

But Pit's damage meter wasn't high enough and he survived by using his wings, flying in the air. While falling, Donkey Kong immediately kicked behind him, knocking Pit into the wall and down into oblivion.

"Game!" cried Hack.

"Ugh, I underestimated him…" said Pit.

"It's fine, you brought his damage up a lot! We need someone who can finish someone quickly!" said Mario.

Ike raised his giant Ragnell. "I nominate myself."

"Is Donkey Kong truly that powerful?" asked Geno.

"Well… He is one of the stronger smashers, and he has good range too," explained Mario. "But he moves slowly and he's at a high damage ratio. To finish him off quickly, we can use someone with all-around powerful moves with massive range, like Ike."

"Seven to Six! Go!" cried Hack.

Ike appeared right in front of Donkey Kong with a Quick Draw. He immediately swung his sword forward, sending Donkey Kong flying. Donkey Kong came back spinning, but Ike was charging his…

"ERUPTION!!"

KABOOM!

The ape was sent flying upwards and turned into a star. It was back to a tie.

"Excellent! Six to six!" said Hack.

Good work, said Mewtwo. You brought it back to a tie.

"Ike's going to be trouble," said Fox.

"Even my smexy speed won't outmatch his insane power," said Captain Falcon.

"How about I try?" asked Rundas.

"You sure?" said Samus. "Avoid Ike's attacks and go on the defensive. Ike's attacks are incredibly powerful, but he's a little slow too. Don't underestimate his range."

"I won't."

"Rundas versus Ike! GO!"

Rundas fired several ice cubes at Ike, who rolled forward and underneath them. Ike approached with another Quick Draw, but Rundas grabbed Ike at the last second.

"Good bye."

BAM!

Rundas threw Ike behind him, freezing him at the same time. Ike broke out when he was directly below the edge and used Aether, hitting Rundas at the edge at the same time with his thrown sword. Ike immediately got back up and punched Rundas, finally hitting him with a light sword smack. Rundas created an ice platform and began sliding upwards, creating ice slides in front of him.

"Since you only use a sword," said Rundas. "You can't get me up… here…?"

Rundas suddenly stopped flying. He fell to the ground, unable to do anything.

"Ike, GO!" the entire Green Team cried. "SMASH HIM!!"

Ike drew his sword back very slowly, grunting. Rundas landed right in front of him, and Ike unleashed his powerful smash attack. Rundas was merely at twenty percent.

BOOM!

Just like that, Rundas was gone.

"Go, Red Team!" cried Hack. "You're losing by one stock!"

"It's fine, Rundas," said Samus. "Just remember that your ice flying thingy is only a recovery move and you can't use it forever…"

"Right, I guess flying forever would be pretty darn cheap," he replied with a chuckle.

"Not too bad for a newbie!" said Popo.

"All right, I'll go up next," said Snake. "Ike's defenseless against my defenses…"

With the other team…

"Keep it up, Ike! You're our big heavy weight!" said Falco.

"Snake versus Ike! Ready? GO!!"

Ike dashed forward with a Quick Draw, just as Snake planted a powerful mine. Snake rolled away…

"Crap…" Ike muttered.

KABOOM!

Snake smirked. "Sayonara, swordsman."

Ike was gone in an instant.

"Oh man, Snake is one of the best…" said Pit. "I could stand up against him with my arrows, but since I already went…"

"How about me?" asked Falco.

"No, I think I would do better," muttered. Wolf.

"Please," said Ness. "Falco's blaster goes farther, travels faster, and Falco moves faster. Yours is stronger, but we need a more spammable projectile," said Ness.

"…Fine…"

"All right, Falco versus Snake! GO!!"

Falco began firing his blaster. Snake, realizing he won't be given an opportunity to lay his mines, jumped over the lasers and was right above Falco.

Falco kicked his reflector directly upwards, stunning Snake momentarily. Falco was about to jump up, but Snake had dropped a mine on top of him…

KABOOM!

Falco wasn't sent flying, but he was lying on the ground, giving Snake enough time to plant another mine at the edge. Snake grabbed a grenade and tossed it at Falco's body. Falco stood up, reflecting the grenade. He then began to spam his blaster again.

"Please, that's childish play," said Snake, who was crawling underneath the lasers.

"Crap!" said Falco. He quickly ran forward to kick Snake, but it was too late. Snake was rolling forward, hitting Falco upwards and away. Snake was sliding on the ground when he pulled out his rocket launcher, blowing up Falco accurately. Falco was sent flying and unable to recover, but he did hit Snake with one more blaster shot.

"GAME!" said Hack. "Three to Two left!"

"Huh… Wolf, it's your turn," said Mario. "Your blaster hits lower."

"So you can hit crawlers as well," said Pit.

"About time, punks…"

"BEEEEP!!" Mr. Game and Watch cheered on.

"Wolf versus Snake! GO!!"

Wolf fired his blaster just as Snake threw a grenade. The grenade exploded in contact with the energy shot, and Snake and Wolf were both running at each other.

BAM!

Wolf hit Snake first with an upwards flip kick. He then dashed into the air, drilling into Snake's body then finally kicking him away. As a finishing touch, although weak, Wolf accurately hit Snake's body with a blaster shot. Snake dropped a mine right below him and fell right behind it. Wolf hit Snake with another blaster shot then ran forward.

"And the finishing touch…" Wolf growled. Snake tossed another grenade, but Wolf was too fast. He dashed at an upward angle, right over the mine and the grenade, and striking Snake, sending him flying.

KABOOM!

"GAME!!"

"Nice going Snake," said Doctor Mario.

"Hey… May I try this time?" asked Krystal.

"Are you sure?" asked Fox. "I stand up well against Wolf and…"

"You may not remember, but I have a weapon here," said Krystal, taking out her staff.

"Good idea," said Link.

"How about me? Hellooooo?" asked Samurai Goroh.

"Maybe next time."

"Krystal versus Wolf! GO!!"

"Never thought I'd fight you…" growled Wolf.

"Try me," said Krystal.

Wolf fired a blaster shot just as Krystal fired a fireball with her staff. She boosted forward by shooting energy behind her, appearing right in front of Wolf, then she smacked Wolf with the side of her staff. Wolf was knocked back a little and Krystal stabbed forward, shooting Wolf away.

Wolf grabbed the edge. Krystal immediately slammed her staff into the ground, creating a big quake that would have caused Wolf to let go, but Wolf jumped over her, hitting her with the back of his claw.

"I don't take shit from women like you…"

"Are you being sexist?"

Krystal was about to shoot ice at Wolf, but Wolf winked.

"Really nice body you've got there, makes me wish I was Panther…"

"What? EXCUSE ME?"

BAM!

Wolf caught the off-guard Krystal by shooting his claw forward, pushing her away. He hit her with his blaster then chased her. Krystal got back on her feet, panting.

Everyone uses so much strategy… She thought. I never thought fighting would take this much… But Fox must've agreed for some reason… He knows how I fight. Wait… My fireballs outrange Wolf's blaster… and he only fights with his claws… while I have a staff with longer reach…

Wolf was about to hit her from a distance, but Krystal whacked him with the very tip of her staff, taking full advantage of her range. She flipped it around gracefully and slammed it on top of Wolf's head, giving him huge head pains. She briefly charged her staff, then slammed it into the stunned wolf's stomach, sending him flying into oblivion.

"GAME! It's tied once again, with Green Team taking a slight damage lead! "

"Nice going, Krystal!" said Fox. Krystal beamed back at him.

"Do you know how Krystal fights?" asked Sonic.

"Mama mia, I don't, although she seems like another ranged fighter, a lot more like Marth rather than Ike. She has projectiles to back herself up too."

"Then I'll go," said Toon Link. "If she wants a battle of projectiles, I'll win."

Geno eyed Toon Link's inventory. "Hm… May I wager a try?" he asked. "I have several long ranged attacks that may stop that vixen."

"What? You mean…" gasped Toon Link.

"Ah! Right!" said Mario. "But we'll save that for later. I don't think Toon Link is the best choice either."

"Who're you thinking off? Wario?" asked Pikachu.

"Ai ai ai! That's me!" Wario cried.

"Remember, Wario, bicycle all the way," said Jigglypuff. "This is our last stock…"

"Bicycle?" asked KK Slider.

"It blocks lots of attacks, especially weaker ones, so he might counter Krystal…" explained Ness.

"Wario versus Krystal! Go!!"

Krystal sent a volley of fireballs at the overweight man. However, Wario nabbed his bicycle, which blocked all of the fireballs.

"Huh?" Krystal was shocked. Wario ran her over in his bicycle. He jumped off, kicking her in the head. Krystal drew her staff and whacked him away. She whirled around and swung it horizontally again, but Wario got back on his bike.

"WARIO BIKE!!"

Wario did a wheelie, hitting Krystal with the spinning wheels. Krystal swung her staff at Wario again, but the bicycle blocked it. Wario jumped off and was right above Krystal.

"No… please no…" said Ash, covering his nose.

"Huh?" asked KK Slider.

"Good idea," said Mario. "Everyone hold your noses…"

PFFFFFFFFFFFFT!!

There was a huge explosion right where Krystal was, instantly KOing her. Wario was high up in the air, smiling at his huge fart attack.

Hack was wearing a gas mask. "Game! One to one! Who's gonna win it?"

The Red Team huddled together, planning out their last move. Finally, they let Captain Falcon go.

"Ready? GO!!"

Wario was on his bike again, but Falcon predicted it.

"FALCON… PUUUUUUUUUUNCH!!"

Wario did not see it coming, as he was on his bike. The punch blew up his bike and sent Wario flying into oblivion.

"CHALLENGE IS OVER!! VICTORY TO RED TEAM!!" cried Hack.

"We did it! Our first victory!" cried Fox.

"Rundas! Krystal! You both were pretty good for first-timers!" said Popo, smiling. "I just can't smash without my sister."

"Hm… Well I guess it gives me more time to set up the traps…" muttered Snake.

"Duh… Wha? We won?" asked Louie. "Sweet…"

The Green Team was slumping in disgrace.

"Ah well, we're gonna lose sometime anyways," said Yoshi.

"How are you so pessimistic?" asked Mario.

"Well… At least there's another performance by KK Slider to look forward to," said Yoshi.

"Oh yeah! Did you get your next song ready?" asked Ash.

"Of course I did!" said KK Slider. "Why wouldn't I?"

Wolf and Jigglypuff looked at each other for a brief second.

"Tribal council is on the third day of each trio, right?" asked Jigglypuff.

"Yeah…" said Wolf. "Sucks that we lost…"

Red Team

"A toast to… our first victory!" cried Captain Falcon. The Red Team was sitting all around a camp fire. "All because of my sexy falcon punch!"

"Unfortunately we don't have a toast anywhere here, because somebody also stole all of my preserved alcohol…" muttered Snake. Louie shifted his eyes.

"No matter, we don't want to give alcohol to the little kids, do we?" asked Doctor Mario. "It's not good for their health."

"Who cares? Let the kids join in!" cried Samurai Goroh. "Although I did wish I had a shot at one of those guys in that darn challenge…"

I'm sorry to intrude, but I believe we only have one child here… said Mewtwo, nodding his head at Popo.

Porky turned around. "…Right, ignore the little guy, because one day you all know that he's going to rule all of your asses!" he cried, holding a peace sign.

"Well maybe because you're being such an annoying brat?" asked Popo.

"Say that again!" yelled Porky. "I dare you to say that in my face!"

Popo walked up to Porky's face. "You're an annoying brat," he said. "And I can say much more than that, really…"

"Hey! Stop!" said Fox. "We're a tribe, and we can't keep fighting inside like this!"

"It's really uncool, you know," said Rundas. "Porky, was it? You should really stop being so cocky all the time when you haven't done anything for us."

"I've been making plans," said Porky.

"Oh right, plans to make me do all the work for you," said Popo.

"For once, I'm not making a fight," said Captain Falcon.

"Surprisingly enough, you didn't do anything to piss me off or tempt me into shooting you," said Samus.

"But really…" said Krystal. "I never thought fighting would have that much strategy in it, at least smashing. How would you define me as a fighter, Fox?"

"Huh? Well…" he thought for a second. "You would be one of the ranged characters with that insanely long staff, with some neat projectiles too. You'd be a tough fighter."

"You'd lack power, however," said Link. "You seem very fast and you have lots of options against your opponent, but it seems like you can't kill people as well. No offense, but everyone has their share of weaknesses."

"True that," said Krystal. "And none taken."

"I'm just happy that I don't have to work on an operation for once," said the doctor.

"I can arrange that for you," said Samus, smiling and pointing her arm cannon at Falcon's head.

"Buuut… When are we eating…?" asked Louie.

"We'll have to catch some animal and roast it," said Zelda. "I mean, it can't be hard to catch something with all of Snake's traps around…"

KABOOM!

"There goes one," said Snake as he stood up.

"I'll come help!" said Donkey Kong. "I can carry stuff!"

"Sure."

Later that night, after enjoying a nice long meal with lots of roasted chicken…

"Ugh…" Popo muttered, lying down on the ground on the hard floor. "I'm so tired… I hate it…"

He glared at the sleeping Porky.

"Psst! Popo!"

Popo stood up instantly, looking out the window. He peered through it to see Roy calling to him.

"Roy? What are you…"

"Just get down here," said Roy. "And quietly."

Popo shrugged as he jumped down.

"What is it? If it's a way to get rid of Porky, then…"

"Kinda," said Roy. "I don't like him too much either after he tried to make me feed him food. Anyways…" he took a deep breath. "Since we both don't like Porky…"

"I hate him."

"Fine, since we both strongly dislike Porky…" Roy added. "How about we join together in an alliance?"

"Huh? Of course!" said Popo, smiling. Joining an alliance this early into the game was too good to be true. "It'd be great if we could keep it a secret!"

"Well it kinda isn't," said Roy. "Mewtwo knows, and I asked him."

"Oh man, Mewtwo's going to be a great asset since he can read minds. What did he say?" Popo asked enthusiastically.

"He rejected, but he promised he won't tell anyone about our alliance as long as we don't pick on him," whispered Roy. "I think he plans on staying neutral as much as he can."

Popo was a little disappointed, but at least Mewtwo's not going to tattle-tale. "He's really a nice guy if you think about it," said Popo.

"Right. Well I'll try to get a couple other that don't like Porky too much," said Roy. "Then after we kick him off, we'll stick together."

"I'll be on the lookout too," said Popo.

"Great! We're in agreement then?" asked Roy, holding out a hand.

Popo smiled. "Of course." He shook Roy's hand.

Blue Team

"First come, first serve!" said Tom Nook, flipping fried eggs.

"Where do you get this food?" asked Peach. "Even I can't hide that many things under my dress undetected by Hack.

"A tanooki has his secrets…" said Tom Nook, pulling out another egg to fry.

"He's a really convenient guy," said Bowser.

"Of course, he gives me the food I'll need tomorrow to kick butt," said Ganondorf. "What're we doing tomorrow?"

"Since we didn't participate in the immunity challenge today…" said Marth. "I'm guessing we're doing both the reward and solo challenge."

This wasn't good news. Among everyone, there basically isn't anyone that people particularly dislike.

Except one…

"Pyo!! I don't wanna be tied up like this!" cried Kirby.

"Well you better learn your lesson," said Peach.

"For once, I can enjoy a dinner without Kirby eating everything!" said Diddy Kong.

"For once?" asked Isaac.

"He eats just about every meal from all of us every day," replied the chimp.

"That explains why you're all so hungry…"

"WE SHOULD ALL SLEEP AT AN EARLY CURFEW," said ROB. "SO YOU MAY ALL BE WELL PREPARED FOR THE REWARD CHALLENGE TOMORROW."

"You don't need rest, ROB, do you?" asked Luigi, poking ROB's side.

"PLEASE REFRAIN FROM PRODDING. I AM A ROBOT. THE ONLY REST I NEED ARE OIL CHANGES."

"Speaking of oil changes, you need to be re-oiled, don't you?" asked Metaknight, holding up a bottle of oil.

"… THAT IS RIGHT! PLEASE HAND THAT OVER." ROB asked, rolling towards Metaknight. He shot an arm forward, but his arm couldn't move from not being oiled in a while.

"You can't catch me!" said Metaknight. "Catch, King Dedede!" He threw the bottle at King Dedede, who caught it and was running away, holding it up in the air.

"PLEASE, COME BACK!" ROB continued to wheel after the penguin. Everyone laughed.

"It sure is quite cheerful here, isn't it?" said Tom Nook, serving Lucas a plate of eggs.

"With this, we don't even need the reward challenge!" said Marth. "Thanks to Tom Nook!"

"We do need fans and heaters though," said Isaac. "It's getting a little hot in here…"

"I guess, but we'll have to see what the prize is tomorrow," replied Marth.

"…Uh… What's a reward challenge?" Lucas asked Olimar, who was right next to him.

"Let me see… The Reward Challenge is a game between two teams, and the winner receives the aforementioned prize that Hack should give," said Olimar. "The prize will usually make life at the island more comfortable."

"Ah… I see…"

Yep, relationships are tight and fine in the Blue Team.

Hack: Anyways, that chapter was a little long. I hope the immunity challenge wasn't too long for your tastes; just review with your thoughts on the challenge so far! What will happen in the next chapter though? Will everyone start hating Porky? Will Tom Nook truly have everything his team needs? Who will win the reward challenge? Wait and find out in Day 3!

Ness: I thought it was wayyy to long.

Fox: You just don't like to think.

Ness: Hey, I should be saying that to you.

Mario: Mama-mia, but it was quite long...

Hack: gr... SHUT UP!! (holds snake's grenade launcher)

Muses: Crap!
