Chapter 6 The Third Challenge
"Today's challenge is a race to find a treasure. Each team will start from a different location. First team to the treasure wins - loosing team has to go to council fire." Ansem announced. However, before he could announce the start of the challenge, there was a poof of smoke. Making her appearance was Imogene.
"Um, nice clothes." Xemnas said. The said youth was dressed in a pirate costume - complete with a eye patch.
"I like your style!" Xigbar said flashing her a thumbs up sign.
"Argh, only wet bearded dolphin kissers give the thumbs up sign!" Imogene said in a very pirate-like voice.
"What in the world does that mean?" the Nobody asked.
Before she could answer, Sora shouted out, "AWESOME! I've always wanted to be a pirate!" the boy ran to Imogene and asked, "Will you teach me your ways of pillaging and witty banter?"
"Ye be a cute kid, but yer distractin' me from my original purpose." Imogene said ruffling Sora's hair.
She pulled out a stuffed parrot and yelled out, "Go, beaky! Destroy!" (all the while, laughing maniacally). Taking aim, she threw the toy at Ansem, who caught it and looked at it in confusion.
"Damn! He be stronger than I anticipated!" Imogene muttered. "Time to pull out me secret weapon!" she yelled reaching into her pocket and taking out…a walnut. Ansem burst out into laughter.
"You do realize that is a walnut, right?!"
"I be well aware of that. However, don't underestimate the power of this little thing…" Imogene said dangerously.
Ansem gulped in anticipation. Imogene threw the nut into the air. Ansem watched nervously. Quite suddenly, the pirate girl launched a surprise attack on Ansem, punching him in the face. The man fell back onto the sand as the walnut fell back into Imogene's hand.
"Like I said, don't underestimate the walnut." She said smugly. She turned to the two teams and said, "Well, what ye be waitin' for? Go to yer startin' points!"
The two teams hurried to their designated starting points. Imogene was about to give the signal for them to go, when the supposedly unconscious Ansem grabbed her by the ankle and pulled her to the ground. He stood up, dusting his clothes off, and said, "When will you ever learn? I am the only one who is qualified for this job." Imogene mumbled something incoherent and disappeared into a puff of smoke. Ansem turned back to the waiting teams. No one had a response to the little scene. "Gook luck, and may destiny be with you." He said.
"Your whole destiny thing is getting old." Kairi commented.
"Shut up wench! I hope you loose!" Ansem exclaimed pointing at the red head. Regaining his composure, he yelled, "GO!"
-With team Warriors of Justice
Team warriors of Justice was running along the path dodging charging rhinos and the occasional pile of dung. Then they came to a cliff! Dum-dum-dum!
"Oh what ever are we going to do?!" Xemnas exclaimed faintly.
Sora started jumping up an down excitedly and called out, "Monkey brethren! Hear my call! Help us cross this cliff of evil algae by teaching us your infinitely wise ways!"
There was silence. Riku leaned over and whispered to Axel, "I didn't know that he even knew half of those words."
Then, out of nowhere, monkeys came towards them swinging on vines. They landed, keeping a hold of the vines. Sora bowed and said,
"I am honored."
"He's unusually grave." Axel commented to Riku. The silver haired teen had an I've-known-him-longer-than-you-and-this-won't-last-long look on his face.
"Just wait for it..." he said.
Sora jumped up and exclaimed, "Can I ride the vines now pleeease?!"
"See I told you." Riku said.
The monkeys gave each person a vine and walked away. Now, at this point anyone who was even remotely cool was thinking one thing: Dear God, why me? (A/N: not that Sora isn't cool, just for purposes of this story -
"Come on, guys! Do you want to lose the challenge?" Sora prompted. Everyone sighed and swallowed their pride. And they swung. They got to the other side of the cliff and released the vines.
Riku turned to the others and said, " As soon as we leave here, we forget this ever happened."
"Agreed." Everyone said simultaneously. Then they went to catch up to Sora, who had gone on ahead.
-With team Dominators
Team Dominators had arrived at the cliff that team Warriors of Justice had been at only moments before.
"Damn it! How are we supposed to get across this?!" Larxene asked viciously kicking a tree. Then from the treetops, descended the monkeys swinging on their vines.
"Look! We can use those vines to get across!" Yuffie said pointing at the monkeys.
"Aww... What cute monkeys." Aerith said smiling as she pet the nearest monkey. Then she picked up the animal and threw it into the bushes where it screeched bloody monkey.
"Girls, follow suit!" Larxene commanded. The poor monkeys were viciously overthrown by team Dominators. "Hah! You though you could stand up to me, the supreme ruler of all-" She was cut off as one of the monkeys threw dung at her face before it retreated into the trees. She wiped the crap off of her face and screamed, "Get back here you monkeys! I will kill you! Your filthy breed has earned my enmity for all eternity! Now get your-"
Kairi quickly covered Larxene's mouth and said, "Hey! This story doesn't allow such heavy cussing."
"Do you think I care?!" She yelled as she tried to pull free from Kairi's grasp.
"They are too far away to feel your wrath by now." Xaldin said.
"Yeah, lucky them." Xigbar muttered.
Larxene glared at him. He 'eeped' and said, "I'm going now!" Grabbing one of the vines, he swung across the cliff. Grumbling, Larxene followed suit, along with the rest of the team.
-With team Warriors of Justice
Team Warriors of Justice had come to a fork in the road.
"Which one should we take?" Luxord asked.
"I've got a hunch that the treasure is in that direction." Sora said pointing to the path on the left
"Why should we listen to you?" Vexen asked crossing his arms.
Xemnas whacked the scientist and said, "Man, don't you ever watch movies? The good guy's hunch is always right!"
"That isn't a very scientific method of determining which way to go..." Vexen mumbled as he followed the others to the left fork. They reached a clearing, and in the middle sat a huge treasure chest!
"It's the treasure!" Axel exclaimed. They ran to be the first ones to reach the chest, and were mere yards away when cage bars sprang up and caged team Warriors of Justice.
"The hunch is always right, huh?" Vexen asked smugly.
"Well, there's a first time for everything." Xemnas said embarrassed like a third grader in a cheese shop. Then, team Dominators emerged from the trees and into the clearing.
"Hahahahahah! Losers!" Yuffie exclaimed pointing at the trapped team.
Zexion, Leon, and Sephiroth replied, "Whatever."
"Well, this sucks." Axel said as team Dominators claimed victory.
"Let's see what's in the trunk!" Kairi exclaimed. Larxene nodded and was about to open the trunk when it opened of its own accord, and out popped Ansem!
"Dude! How'd you get here before us?!" Xigbar asked.
"I have my ways..." Ansem said hiding what looked like a baseball bat behind his back.
"What did we win?" Saix demanded.
"You won hats!" Ansem said happily pulling out a bag of assorted hats.
"That's all?!" Demyx exclaimed.
"Well, that and a stock of food, but I don't see how that's more important." Ansem continued with a shrug.
"Oh, that doesn't matter at all." Demyx said sarcastically.
Ansem turned to the other team and said, "Destiny will see you tonight..."
-at council fire-
Ansem walked up to team Warriors of Justice who had assembled with their torches and jazz ready to kick one of their not so beloved teammates off of the island. "So what has Destiny taught you these past few days?" Ansem asked the group.
"Never eat wet noodles after swimming?" Sora offered.
"This place sucks?" Xemnas said.
"No, the proper response would be that life is unfair. Well, with that aside, let's vote." Se, the voting went under way and Ansem counted the votes.
"And the next castaway to be voted off is...Lexaeus!" The man stood up and asked with his thumb in his mouth,
"B-but why me?"
"Because you're so obviously on steroids." Xemnas said.
"Because you haven't said anything for the least two chapters." Luxord said.
"Yes I did..." Lexaeus countered pulling the script book out of his pocket and flipping through it.
"Well, what do you know? I haven't..." Then mean old Mr. trap door opened and Lexaeus screamed as he fell.
The group was silent then Axel spoke up, "You know...he never denied the steroids."
lalalala, can I get some feedback? Maybe that will make me update faster.
