Hey everyone, once again, I am sooooo sorry for my long lardness period of not updating. I just had no inspiration. So, to make up for it, I will post two chapters today!

Chapter 8 The Fourth Challenge

"Today's challenge is a team swim off!" Ansem announced.

"Today's challenge is a team swim off!" Imogene repeated in a singsong voice. Today, the eccentric girl was dressed in a black formfitting sparkly dress. Her hair was twisted in an elegant bun with a few strands escaping.

Ansem did his best to ignore her and continued. He pointed to a buoy that was floating out in the water. "First team to have all of its members touch the buoy and swim back to the beach wins."

"First team to have all of its members touch the buoy and swim back to the beach wiiiiiiiiiinnnnnnnssss!" Imogene carried the last note for an impossibly long time, and Larxene said so. "Nothing is impossible for me!" the girl said, waving a hand in the air.

"Why don't you shut your annoying yappers and let me start the challenge!" Ansem shouted.

"Hey, um, why aren't you going all...psycho and stuff trying to take Ansem's job from him?" Yuffie asked.

Imogene blinked. "Good question. Minions! Have a kung-fu fight and tell me when it's over!" she shouted to a waiting pack of Leprechauns as she sat down under an umbrella and took a sip of apple juice. Ansem screamed as the little green men charged him.

From the mass of little green hats and red beards, Ansem yelled out, "Begin the challenge!"

Since they had one team member more than team Warriors of Justice, team Dominators left Xigbar out of the competition (he refused to get near the water because of the piranha incident).

"Ready, set, Go!"

The challenge began as Luxord and Marluxia jumped into the water and started swimming. Luxord got a slight lead, and next up were Yuffie and Axel.

"You're goin' down ninja girl!" Axel exclaimed to the girl next to him.

"In your dreams you psychotic pyromaniac!" They swam feverishly and Axel ended up getting to the beach before Yuffie. Then next up were Kairi and Riku. Just as they were about to jump into the water, Kairi pointed and exclaimed, "Is that a kitty?!"

"Where?!" Riku spun around as Kairi jumped into the water.

"Grrr! I can't believe that I fell for that again!" Riku shouted as he tried to catch up to Kairi. Despite his best efforts, Kairi still got to shore before he did. Xaldin jumped in as Riku got to shore and tagged Sora. The Keyblade master swam out then called,

"Hey look at me everyone! I'm swimming with the dolphins!" Sora leapt out of the water accompanied by two dolphins.

"Sora, forget the stupid dolphins and swim!" Riku shouted. Sora pouted but stopped goofing around. By the time he had touched the buoy, Xaldin had already finished his lap and tagged Larxene into the water.

"How are we gonna catch up now?!" Axel asked as Sora climbed out of the water.

"Don't worry - I may not look it, but I was once a pro swimmer." Leon said stepping into the water. Then he started swimming and promptly passed Larxene up and beat her to the beach. Everyone gaped at the man as he got out of the water.

"Xemnas - you're up." Riku said. The Nobody walked to the edge of the water. "What are you waiting for? Go!" Riku yelled pushing him into the water.

"Aaaah! Help! I can't swim!" Xemnas screamed in a high pitched voice.

"You're kidding me, right?" Riku asked. They turned to Ansem. The man was still fighting with the leprechauns and yelled out,

"Xemnas doesn't have to participate, but team Dominators must take one of their members out as well!" So Cloud was taken out of the race too.

"Now how are we going to catch up?" Axel asked again.

"Don't worry - I may not look it, but I was once a pro swimmer." Zexion said stepping into the water.

"You too?!" Everyone exclaimed. Zexion jumped into the water and went fast enough to catch up to Demyx, who exclaimed that 'he was the water guy - how could he loose?'. Finally, it came down to the last two swimmers - Aerith and Vexen. They were wading out into the water when Aerith held out her hand and said,

"May the best person win."

"Finally, someone showing respect to their elders!" Vexen said shaking the woman's hand. Aerith smiled and with a yell, tossed the scientist back onto the beach. Aerith leapt into the water and began swimming furiously.

Vexen lifted his head out of the sand and sputtered, "That was NOT respect!"

So, sadly, team Warriors of Justice lest to team Dominators.

"Damn guys. We suck." Axel said kicking the sand. There was a general murmur of agreement.

Ansem stepped forward (he had finally gotten away from the leprechauns) and said, "Destiny has concluded that team Dominators has won the challenge, along with the prize - lots and lots of food."

And there was much rejoicing.

"Sadly, team Warriors of Justice will be required to attend tribal council tonight."

And there was much rejoicing.

-at tribal council-

Everyone was in a pissy mood that night.

"I blame you!" Luxord shouted pointing at Vexen.

"I blame you!" Vexen shouted pointing at Axel.

"Well I blame him!" Axel exclaimed pointing at a duck wearing a shirt with some bling hanging around it's neck.

"I blame you!" the duck shouted pointing at Xemnas.

"Let's just all blame Sora and stop this silly arguing." Xemnas replied.

"Heeey!" Sora cried.

Ansem (who was covered in bruises and scrapes) cleared his throat and said, "Well, now that that's over , may the voting begin!" He pulled out a pistol and shot it into the air. Everyone leapt into action and began an all out war. Xemnas punched Sora. Luxord kicked Xemnas. Riku threw rocks. Axel dodged rocks. Leon and Sephiroth had a glaring contest. Zexion fell asleep. Finally, Ansem shouted out, "Enough! The voting has come to an end!" The fighting stopped and everyone awaited Ansem's verdict. "The next person to leave Malaguapu island is...Luxord!"

The trap door opened and Luxord fell through it shouting, "Bloody Hell!!!"

Ansem chuckled and said, "Only the strong survive in the jungle."

"In the jungle, the mighty jungle, the lions sleep tonight!" Sora sang.

"Knock it off!" Xemnas said smacking Sora upside the head.

"And so concludes another chapter." Riku said.

And there was much rejoicing.
