Day 8

Red Team

"Life is good… Life is great… Porky is gone!" cried Popo.

"This calls for a toast!" said Fox.

"I'll cook tonight!" said Zelda.

"No, you'll only cook if I want vomit all over my tree-house floor," said Donkey Kong.

"AH! You're so mean, Donkey Kong!!!" Zelda cried.

"How about Louie? Louie can make a delicious meal out of… well… everything!" said Roy.

"Uh… I don't have… any animals to bake…" said Louie, standing beside a cooking pot.

"That does it! We're hunting for the feast!" said Link, drawing his sword and heading out for the woods. Zelda, Fox, Krystal, Donkey Kong, and Snake followed him.

"You should be careful, Link," said Snake. "I've put traps everywhere. I'm only coming along so you won't get blown up."

"Oh, really? Thanks!" said Link.

KABOOM!!!

"…Whoops, forgot to mention that mine right there," said Snake, looking down at the black Link.

Green Team

"I've got bad news to share…" said Mario. "The Unbreakable Lock is gone…"

"WHAT? That was our reward!!" said Ash. "We could use it for… uh… what?"

"I don't know," said Ike. "I don't really know what we could use it for…"

"I could've used it to protect my stash of ketchup…" growled Pikachu. "Someone stole my ketchup too…" He glared at Yoshi.

"Huh? What?" asked Yoshi. "I didn't steal any ketchup."

"You're the big eater here, I KNOW YOU DID!!! MY PRECIOUS!!!" hissed Pikachu, his red cheek spots beginning to sparkle with electricity.

"I DIDN'T!!! AHHHHHHHHHHH!!!" Yoshi cried, running away with Pikachu chasing after him.

"…I think I should've let everyone know about that device I put on Yoshi's tongue," said Mario.

"Device?" asked Geno. "Why?"

"Yoshi's almost as big of an eater as Kirby, he can't control himself. So I've put this device so it zaps him and makes him throw up if he steals food from anyone else intentionally."

"…If this device is even a little flawed, I think Yoshi's eating life will become miserable…"

"Yeah, but it didn't zap him, meaning he didn't steal Pikachu's ketchup."

"…Mario, I didn't know you were this evil."

Mario was taken aback. "Evil? I'm not evil! I just have to maintain control over the tribe so nobody suffers because of one hungry madman!"

"I don't know… I don't know… I'm going to be kicked off next…" groaned Jigglypuff as she paced around by herself.

"My entire alliance is gone, everyone knows about it, KK Slider's going to hate me, everyone's going to hate me… Oh my god…"

Suddenly, someone grabbed her and strapped her to the tree with the unbreakable rope! Her mouth was muffled by a muffler and her surroundings turned completely dark!

"MMMFFFFF!! MFFFFFFFFFFFF!!!"

A really scary face with an obvious woman's ghostly mask appeared before Jigglypuff. Hair was flowing down its face.

"AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!" Jigglypuff screamed through the muffler.

A bright yellow ring appeared in the sky, copying from the movie itself. Jigglypuff instantly fainted.

"…I think that was too perfect," said Toon Link, who was wearing a mask.

"But she didn't wet herself like Falco did…" groaned Pit. "That would've been funny."

"BLOOP!"

"Okay… We've got the next challenge, Mario!" said Ness. "We're in the immunity challenge!"

"Great!" said Mario, walking up to Ness. "Read it!"

Ness looked at the slip of paper that had fell out of the sky. "RUN! GET THE HECK AWAY!" he screamed. Mario, Yoshi, and Geno covered their ears.

"…Is that seriously what it says?" asked Yoshi.

"Yeah, in capital letters," said Ness. "Hence why I screamed."

"Hm… Seems like there's going to be a lot of running. Sonic'll be very useful," said Geno.

"But I don't like the sound of GET THE HECK AWAY part of the message…" said Mario. "There's got to be a catch. We can't just get an easy win with Sonic."

"So, in case we lose… We gotta decide on someone to vote," said Ness. "But personally I don't dislike anyone…"

"Let's not talk about that until after the challenge, if we lose," said Mario.

"All right, then."

Blue Team

Luigi was just sitting on his own, next to the green campfire that he made in the early morning. It was right by the entrance of the cave. He was up quite early, and the only things awake near him were Olimar's pikmin, which were hunting around for food. Everyone was asleep, even ROB, who had powered down to rest his batteries.

"Ah… A nice day without any villains to scare me…" he said, smiling. "And I'm hoping we don't get a challenge today… Such a beautiful sunny day…"

A slip of paper fell into Luigi's lap. "Hm? Is this… No! It's our next challenge! The immunity challenge!! But what does it say…?"

He took a second to read it, then he yelled at the top of his lungs, "RUN! GET THE HECK AWAY!!!!!!!!!"

The entire Blue Team woke up with a start and ran out of the cave.

"AHHHHHHHHHHH!!! WHAT IS IT? WHAT IS IT? IS IT KIRBY????" screamed Peach, readying her frying pan.

"WHAT? IS SOMEONE OUT THERE READY TO STEAL MY FRYING PAN??" screamed Tom Nook, also readying his frying pan.

"AHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!! IT'S A FIRE!!!" screamed Nana.

"AHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!! THE GOD OF GAMBLING HAS JUST FALLEN HERE THEN!!!" screamed Diddy Kong.

"AHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!! IT'S BOWSER!!!!" screamed Luigi, running away at the sight of the tired Bowser.

Red Team

KABOOM! KABOOM!!!! KABOOM!!!!

"Wow, I hear a lot of screaming," said Snake. "…But they're setting off my sound-detecting mines…"

Blue Team

It took about an hour for the entire camp to calm down.

"Okay…" growled Bowser. "WHO THE HELL WOKE US ALL UP???"

Everyone pointed at random targets. Luigi pointed at Bowser, who pointed at Peach, who pointed at Lucas, who pointed at King Dedede, who pointed at Diddy Kong, who pointed at Tom Nook, who pointed at Olimar, who pointed at Nana, who pointed at Ganondorf, who pointed at Isaac, who pointed at Metaknight, who pointed at Marth, who pointed at Lucario, who pointed at Luigi.

The only one who didn't point was ROB. He was still 'asleep.'

"Wait, there's a slip of paper here…" said Peach, picking it up. "RUN! GET THE HECK OUT OF HERE!!!"

"WHAT? WHAT'S GOING ON???" Everyone screamed. Chaos was almost about to ensue, but...

"No, no! I think this is the next challenge!" said Peach.

"Oh… so somebody read that out loud and made this ruckus," said Isaac.

Luigi was cowering, but nobody really noticed.

"But… it means we're going to have to run a lot," said Marth.

"If we're up against Sonic… That won't be too good," said Olimar.

"Well if we want to build up our strength," said Tom Nook. "We should have a breakfast! Come, Peach, let's prepare breakfast!"

"All right!" said Peach as she and Tom Nook danced back into the cavern.

"Okay, so," said Diddy Kong.

"Hey, you didn't pay me for my bet," said Bowser.

"Nor me," said Ganondorf.

"Nor me," said King Dedede.

"Nor me!" said Luigi. He just looked around to see who he was agreeing with, then screamed and ran away.

The three giants surrounded Diddy Kong.

"Uh… hi?" he said. "Hey! I have another bet!"

"No, you're just going to lose again" said Lucario.

"What? Why?" asked Diddy.

"Because you're going to bet if we're going to face Sonic or not. And since we've played Immunity against Red Team once, we're going to play against Blue Team this time, which Sonic is in."

"…Rats!"

The three giants jumped him.

KABOOM!

Immunity Challenge so early already?

The Green and Blue Teams were meeting with Hack at the bottom of a big mountain. Ahead was a very long stretch of plain grass and dirt.

"Green Team! Blue Team! Welcome again!" said Hack. "Glad to see you're all well today!"

Green Team smiled while the Blue Team grumbled.

"I assume my message was very… entertaining?" He then pointed at the mountains. "RUN! GET THE HECK OUT OF HERE!!!"

"WHAT? WHERE???" cried Toon Link, looking around fearfully.

Diddy Kong snapped his fingers. "Rats! Sonic IS on the Green Team!"

"So you can all guess what this challenge is about," said Hack.

"Running," everyone said.

"Correct! But Green Team won't be at such a massive advantage with Sonic, because there's a catch! You'll all be carrying weights corresponding with your dashing speed! So this is a test of stamina and will power!"

"No problem, I'm light, you're all too slow," said Sonic, running in place.

"I'm getting tired of that taunt…" groaned Falco, readying his blaster. Sonic immediately stopped running.

"Everyone, attach your weights!" said Hack, teleporting in a package of weights for each smasher. All the smashers put on their corresponding weights.

"So what are we running for, exactly?" asked Jigglypuff.

"Hm… Well gimme a second," said Hack.

"A second? What's wrong?" asked Peach.

"Wait… Wait for it…"

"For what?" asked Ike, who is now quite anxious.

There was a loud rumble.

"Now that I think about it, there must've been another catch to the clue," said Mario. "Because it's in capital letters and tells us to run for it."

Hack nodded. "You're correct. You're running from…"

A ton of TNT barrels began to roll down the mountain at high speeds.

"That."

"RUN! GET THE HECK OUT OF HERE!!!!" screamed Luigi.

"Those are… TNT barrels, aren't they?" asked Diddy Kong. "But you stole them from DK Isle!"

He looked around for support, but he was the only one left.

KABOOM! Diddy was blown away.

"Diddy Kong… eliminated. Twenty-Eight left," said Hack.

Everyone else was running for their lives, surprisingly at the same speeds.

"What… He… wants… us… to… die?" yelled Marth.

"It's not that bad at all!" said Bowser. "I'm slow but I don't have to carry much!"

Jigglypuff was panting, and before she knew it, a TNT barrel caught up with her.

KABOOM!

"JIGGLYPUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUFFF!" she cried, turning into a star.

Hack was on a helicopter, watching the smashers. "Eliminated: Jigglypuff."

"TNT barrels… So explosive…" panted Ike.

"I never knew this'll be so hard…" panted Sonic, who was carrying the heaviest weights and fell behind.

KABOOM!

Sonic also turned into a star.

"Pikachu! Are you all right?" panted Ash.

"Yeah! With my ketchup… Nothing can stop me!" said Pikachu, who dripped a little ketchup from his blood-colored mouth, apparently ketchup-stained.

Right behind him was Olimar, and he slipped on the drips of ketchup.

KABOOM!

Olimar also turned into a star.

"Look! It's a dead end!" yelled Metaknight.

"Great! The path curves to the right! We can dodge the TNTs!" said Mario, pointing to his right.

All the remaining smashers dashed for their lives in that direction and hid in another path, watching the TNT barrels explode on the mountains and creating a massive explosion.

Red Team

KABOOM!

"Too much noise going on around here…" said Snake. "They're setting off my sound detecting mines…"

"Maybe you shouldn't really use them, since this island can be really loud," said Fox.

"Hm, perhaps…"

"So Diddy, Jigglypuff, Sonic, and Olimar have been eliminated, leaving twenty-five left," said Hack. "I don't like those numbers. Too many survived the first round. Time for the second round."

The smashers were taking their breaths when suddenly they all heard a lot of engine noises.

"Uh… what's that… noise..?" Lucas quietly asked.

"MY SENSORS INDICATE… WHEELS. MANY WHEELS," said ROB.

Indeed, along the plains right behind the survivors were several wheelies from Kirby's games. They were faster than the TNT barrels too!

"AHHHHHHHHH!!! RUN! GET THE HECK OUT OF HERE!!!" screamed Luigi.

But not everyone noticed the wheelies in time to run.

"What? What are…" asked KK Slider. KABOOM!

"Whoa, wheels are…" said Isaac. KABOOM!

"Excellent, "said Hack from his helicopter. "Two eliminated on the spot. Twenty-three left. And more will die because these wheelies… are even faster."

Metaknight panted; it was no secret that he was the fastest in both Blue and Green Team after Sonic, so he carried the second most weight.

"I… must… not… die…" panted Metaknight, barely gliding across the ground with a wheelie tailgating him.

"MY SPEED CAPABILITIES ARE… NOT… ENOUGH…" said ROB. KABOOM!!!

Bowser, Ganondorf, and King Dedede were keeping up every well, because of their slow speeds and high strength. They were some of the furthest ahead of the survivors.

"Ha! This is easy!" said Bowser. "I can do this with my eyes closed!"

"Don't," said Ganondorf.

But the one furthest ahead was Luigi. Nobody was even close to following right behind him. Because he was so scared, he is running at top speed, disregarding the heavy weight on his back.

"AHHHHHHHHHH!!! I DON'T WANNA DIIIIIIIIIIIIEEE!" Luigi cried, tears flying out of his eyes.

Those tears flew back and hit Bowser in his eyes.

"Ah! My eyes!" he grunted.

"I thought you just said you could do this closing your eyes!" said Ganondorf.

But Bowser rubbed his eyes briefly, and that was enough time for one wheelie to hit him. KABOOM!!!

"BLOOP!! BLEEP!!!" Mr. Game & Watch was barely keeping up as well. Though he was actually quite speedy, he lacked arm strength, and was dramatically weighed down. As a result…

KABOOM!!!

"Phew, lots more are going down to the wheelies," said Hack, safely floating above the challenge. "Thank god I raided Kirby's stash of food; he's got tons of waddle dees, wheelies, gordos, waddle doos, burning leos, chillies, fireballs, bonkers, and...."

"This is badness!!!" screamed Toon Link, running away from the wheelies, though keeping a safe lead.

"NO! THIS… IS…" said Pit.

"Don't you dare say Sparta," panted Ness. "And plus, Toon Link, you said Badness, not Madness."

"Huh?" Toon Link hesitated for a moment to ponder about his error. KABOOM!!!

Let's take a look at the rest of the survivors' progresses. With the Blue Team, Luigi was farthest ahead, screaming at the top of his lungs. Ganondorf and King Dedede, the slowest but also the strongest and carrying the least weight, were next, then Marth, who was running at a safe pace ahead of the wheelies. Lucario, who isn't particularly speedy, but who isn't particularly weak either, was behind Marth's feet, though becoming quickly tired. Tom Nook and Peach were right behind Marth, followed by Lucas and then Nana. The last place was Metaknight, who was carrying the most weight on the team…

"Ugh… I can't… keep up…" groaned Metaknight, who lacked the strength to carry his weight.

"Metaknight! You can't die!!!!" cried Nana.

"Go on… without me... you guys…" KABOOM!

The Green Team was much more even, as almost everyone was neck to neck with each other. The exceptions are Pikachu and Falco, who were both speedy and weaker, and thus lagged behind.

"Agh… Ash… you don't have ketchup… do you?" Pikachu groaned, looking back at the angry wheelie chasing him.

"No! I don't bring ketchup with me everywhere!" yelled Ash. "Just keep running!"

"This isn't… fairing too well…" groaned Falco.

"AHHHH!!! I'm about to die!!!" cried Pikachu. He jumped onto the nearest Blue Team member that he saw, who was unfortunately Lucas.

"AHHHH!!!" Lucas cried.

"You're going down… with me!" said Pikachu, grinning evilly.

KABOOM!!! Pikachu and Lucas were no more than stars.

"Look! Another turn!" said Mario, pointing at Luigi who ran into the wall.

Peach rushed up to Luigi, plucked him off of the stone wall, and ran to the side, following everyone else. The wheelie stampede crashed through the stone wall, zooming past.

Everyone was slowly catching their breath.

"That… was… insane…" panted Marth.

"Oh man…" groaned Pit. "Oh man… We're not even competing… against each other…"

"It's like a fight for our own lives…" said Ness. "As if… we're in a survival game of a survival game!"

Mario looked at Ness. "Hack didn't even tell us the conditions for winning. Watch it be something like the team to lose the most members, or something…"

The eight remaining members on the Blue Team were Luigi, Peach, Nana, Tom Nook, Ganondorf, King Dedede, Lucario, and Marth.

The seven remaining members on the Red Team were Mario, Yoshi, Geno, Ash, Ness, Falco, and Pit.

"All right then..." said Hack on his helicopter. "Whoever survives this… are S-rank pros at running away."

There was a loud rumbling noise.

"Hold on…" said Mario. "Do you hear that?"

"AHHHHH!!! IT MUST BE BOWSER FARTING!!!!" cried Luigi.

"Bowser isn't even here, you coward," said Ganondorf, bashing Luigi on the head.

"Now, now, save the bashing for after the challenge!" said Tom Nook, patting Ganondorf on the back.

KABOOM!!!

Tom Nook and Ganondorf were blown up on the spot by a fast bullet bill. Everyone whirled around to see an army of bullet bills charging at them.

"RUN FOR IT!!!!" screamed Marth. Nobody needed him to know that.

Everyone sprinted at top speed, but the bullet bills were just way too fast. Smashers everywhere were now being taken out, even when they were running at top speed.

KABOOM!!

"AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!" King Dedede cried.

KABOOM!!!

"ASH IS BLASTING AWAYYYYY!!!" Ash cried.

KABOOM!!!

"AAAA WAWAWAWAWAA!!!!!" Yoshi cried.

KABOOM!!!

"MAMA MIAAAA!!!" Mario cried.

KABOOM!!!

"SAVE ME, PALUTENAAAAA!!!!" Pit cried.

KABOOM!!!

It seems… I was too slow… said Lucario.

KABOOM!!!

"WHOAAAAAAAA!!!" Nana cried.

Luigi was still ahead of the entire crowd, running as fast as his legs would carry him. Behind him were Peach and Marth. Ness, who was slow but also fairly powerful, lagged right behind Peach and Marth. Falco and Geno, the two remaining speedsters, were in the back.

All the remaining smashers were losing the bullet bills, running farther ahead of them.

"Ha… Take this!" said Hack, pressing a button.

BAM!

All the bullet bills fired smaller bullet bills that sped across the sky.

"No!!! They're gonna get us!!!" cried Ness.

"It's the end for us…" said Geno.

"AHHHHHHHHH!!!!" screamed Peach and Marth.

KABOOM!!!

The black smoke covered everyone. When it cleared out, only Luigi remained, who was still running at top speed.

"AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!" He screamed with a girl's voice.

Hack appeared right in front of him.

"All right! Since more Blue Team members survived than Green Team members, the Blue Team officially wins immunity! Congratul…"

KABOOM!!!

Luigi plowed through Hack, sending him flying.

Red Team

"…I'm hungry. Really hungry," said Roy.

"Because somebody… keeps stealing our stored food!" said Snake. "and my traps aren't working!"

"They're working too well, though…" said Doctor Mario, looking at a dead bulborb.

Zelda's stomach grumbled loudly. "…THAT'S IT, WE'RE GOING BULBORB HUNTING!!!"

"YAY!!!!" Everyone cried.

"We can't have everyone go though, we need someone to look after the base," said Fox.

""I will!" said Captain Falcon.

Samus stared at him.

KABOOM!

So the Red Team split up into three groups to hunt for the bulborbs.

Fox, Krystal, Link, and Zelda were together.

"No Immunity today means we don't have to vote someone off," said Fox.

"Yet it means that we must participate in the Solo Challenge," said Krystal.

Link nodded. "Right. We'll have to decide on whom to vote for in that challenge."

Zelda paused. "…I don't know… There isn't anyone I particularly dislike…"

"We could always vote for someone that will probably win, but isn't in our alliance," suggested Fox.

"How about Mewtwo? He's very powerful on his own, but he doesn't really help out in the clan," said Link.

"I don't know… He's more of an independent person," said Zelda. "If he figures out that we'll vote on him, he'll do something bad… And we don't want to be on his bad side."

"Really? He wouldn't work with any other teams?" asked Krystal.

"Yeah, he doesn't take sides unless someone acts against him," said Fox. "I think he would vote for the person least likely to be voted on, so his decision won't affect much."

"Hm… we'll have to think about it," said Zelda. "And I don't want Captain Falcon off the team either. He's such a fun punching bag when I'm angry… Tee hee!"

"And half the time you're angry because of him," said Krystal.

"Ohhh!!! I found a bulborb!" said Captain Falcon, kneeling down to stare at a small red bulborb. "Pokey pokey!" He poked its red ladybug-like back repeatedly.

"Awwwww, it's too cute to be so cool," said Rundas. The two eyes of the bulborb standing on its antennae looked up innocently at Rundas.

"Remember, we're here to hunt bulborbs so we can eat them," said Samus, pointing her arm cannon at the adorable bulborb.

"Hm… it's not so cute if you look at its mouth…" said Samurai Goroh. "Look, it's got really long fangs in its mouth…"

"Here, bulby-bulby-bulborb!!" said Captain Falcon.

CRUNCH!

"YEAOOOOOOOOOOOOOOWWWWW!!!" Falcon cried, holding up his bleeding finger. The dwarf red bulborb had bitten him.

"Ouch, looks painful…" said Rundas.

Goroh drew his sword. "Let's kill it! Revenge!!!"

"For once, I agree," said Samus. Rundas also took out his ice blade.

"Wait! This'll only feed like one person! It won't be enough!" said Captain Falcon. "Let it live!"

"No way, we'll just kill ten more then," said Samus.

The Red Bulborb began to cry innocently. The four smashers stopped arguing and stared at it. Then it screamed.

Very loudly.

Boom… Boom… Boom…

"…It just screamed. Not that cool anymore," said Rundas.

"Hold on… Do you feel the ground shaking?" asked Samurai Goroh.

"Somewhat," said Samus.

"Nope," said Captain Falcon, turning his back to the dwarf bulborb.

BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!

"I can hear it now!" said Rundas.

"Hear what?" asked Falcon.

Samus, Rundas, and Goroh stared at behind Captain Falcon to see a large, adult red bulborb. It wasn't quite as cute and cuddly as its baby.

"I don't hear anything, so let's just look for an adult!" said Falcon, unaware of what's behind him.

"ROOOOOOOOOOARRRRR!!!!" the adult roared.

"RUN FOR IT!!!!!" screamed Rundas.

The three smarter smashers ran while Falcon looked behind him.

"Uh… hi?"

CRUNCH!

Hack: Attack of the Bulborbs! We'll definitely be seeing more of those cute, cuddly pikmin creatures in future chapters too, as long as our not-so-obvious food culprit of the Red Team isn't caught.
