The Fifth Challenge

Ansem stood on a podium that had 'Destiny' labeled all over it, with Imogene standing next to him with her hair in two pigtails. She was wearing shorts and a shirt that had a picture of Barney on it.

"What's the deal with that...interesting shirt?" Demyx asked.

"Do you like it?" Imogene asked in a childish voice.

"Well...uh, not really."

Imogene's gleeful expression turned the color of evil and she shouted, "Well I don't like your face!"

Demyx squealed and stepped back a few feet.

"Today's challenge, my friends, is an archery contest."

"That doesn't sound too hard." Xigbar said with a grin.

Ansem smiled and said, "Oh, but this is no ordinary archery contest..." he started to laugh maniacally then he started coughing.

"Um... are you okay?" Yuffie asked uncertainly.

"You saw nothing!" Ansem screamed at the ninja girl who jumped in surprise. Composing himself, Ansem continued. "Now friends, let the arrows of Destiny fly!" He paused for dramatic effect, then snickered, "Get it? Arrows? We're having an archery contest?" No one laughed. "Fine. Just grab a bow and form a line." he muttered darkly. "However, due to the imbalance in the number of people, two members of team Dominators must sit out the challenge." So it was decided that Aerith and Kairi would sit out the challenge.

"I made the bows myself!" Imogene added proudly.

The teams did as they were instructed and each person picked up a bow and two arrows. Kairi and Aerith walked over to the shade of the trees and started to play old maid while the first two competitors stepped forward, facing a target.

"If you hit the target, you will score a point for your team. Now, begin!"

First up was Axel. "Yeah! Now watch me win us a point, guys!" he exclaimed fitting an arrow and taking aim. However, just before he let his shot fly, the bow snapped in half and the arrow fell to the floor. Axel stared at the shattered remains of his bow then looked back to Ansem and whispered, "I broke my bow..."

Imogene giggled and said, "Those bows can detect the fear and doubt hidden in your hearts. They react to that by snapping."
"What?! That's ridiculous! I don't have any fear of doubt in my heart - I haven't even got one!"

Ansem sighed and handed Axel a new bow. "Just take your last shot you scared and doubt ridden fool." Axel took the bow roughly and shot Ansem an angry look. Then he hit the target and stalked away grumbling.

Next up was Demyx and, like Axel, his bow broke on his first shot. "Man, why me?" Demyx whined as his second shot missed the target by several feet. The poor blonde walked off and joined Aerith and Kairi. Next was Sora.

"Are we sure it's a good idea to let Sora use anything potentially dangerous?" Vexen asked a bit nervously. He looked to Riku and saw that the teen had couched down and was covering his head. "What on earth are you doing?" the chilly academic asked.

"Better safe than sorry." came Riku's muffled voice. Vexen crossed his arms.

"Hmph. You can cower in the sand all you want. I, however, will not stoop to such-" Vexen was knocked off his feet as an arrow came flying mere inches from his face.

"Sorry about that!" came Sora's cheerful voice. Vexen crawled over to where Riku was crouched.

"You were saying?"

"Shut up!"

Sora's second shot passed the target completely and flew into the trees, disappearing from sight.

"I'll get it!" Sora exclaimed happily and ran off into the trees in search of his arrow.

"Sora! Come back!" Riku called lifting his head out of the sand. But his calls were to no avail as the boy was already gone.

Next up was Xigbar. "Dude! I am the freelance shooter! I'm totally gonna make two-" his bow broke, "one shot!" He fired his second arrow and it hit the target almost exactly in the center. Up next was Leon. He picked up the bow and fired two arrows at the same time. Both hit the target and he walked off with a smirk.

"Dude, you totally pwned that target!" Xemnas exclaimed. He was promptly sued for trying to imitate a gangsta. Leon ignored him and walked over to the shade.

Marluxia stepped up and declared, "The power of flowers will lead me to victory!" To everyone's surprise, Marluxia's bow did not break and both of his shots hit the target. Everybody stared in shock as Marluxia rejoiced and threw flower pedals as he bounded off to the shade.

Recovering, Ansem said, "As of now, the score is: team WoJ- 3 team Dom-3."

"Let's go team, you can do it!" Imogene cheered. Then she glared at Demyx again. The Melodious Nocturne whimpered and hid behind a mailbox.

Riku was up next. Like most of the others, his bow broke. The silver haired teen cursed then grabbed a new bow. However, as soon as he touched it, the darn thing combusted and turned into a shriveled husk. Riku sighed dejectedly and dragged himself over to the others with a dazed expression on his face.

"Hey, its alright. This isn't the end of the world." Axel said clapping Riku on the shoulder.

"Leave me alone..." Riku muttered huddling in a dark corner to suck his thumb.

"Fine! Ignore me you emotional crybaby!" Axel huffed and went back to watching the others compete.

Back at the competition, it was Larxene's turn. As she was about to fire her first arrow, the bow began to crack. Larxene gripped it tightly and said in a dangerously sweet voice, "Don't you dare break on me, or I make sure you rue the day you were created." The bow squeaked and stopped cracking. Larxene smirked and fired twice, making both shots. Sephiroth stepped up and readied his bow, and to everyone's shock, the bow snapped. There was complete silence. No one dared to say anything. Sephiroth glared bloody murder at the remnants of the bow. His glare was so intense, that it killed all of the termites living in the wood.

-termite vision-

"Sally! Get the kids out! Run!" Bobby yelled waving his little termite arms at his wife and children.
"No, Bobby! Don't be a hero!" Sally shouted rushing to her husband's side.

"Don't worry. I'll get to die a hero, like my father in the great extermination of 1966!" Bobby said determinedly.

"But Bobby, what about the baby?!" Sally cried gesturing to her stomach.

"You're pregnant?!"

"Whoops..."

-end termite vision-

Sephiroth got a new bow and hit the target then walked away. Next up was Yuffie. Her bow snapped the first time, but her second arrow hit the target.

"Yay! Who's the bomb?!" A couple of people coughed.

"I said, Who's the bomb?!" No one answered so Yuffie pouted and said, "You know what? You guys need to show me some respect around here! I am amazing!"

Ansem clapped unenthusiastically. "You get points for your stirring speech - now get out of the way or Destiny will smite you!" And Yuffie was chased away by a pack of carnivorous tropical flamingos.

Next was Vexen. His first bow erupted into flames and he picked up his second bow with disdain. "I hate physical exertion. It's pointless." he muttered. He took careful aim and was just about to let his shout fly when Sora leapt out of the trees and shouted,

"You can do it Vexy!"

Loosing his concentration, the arrow whizzed past the target and struck a nearby crow. That was the day Vexen earned the enmity of all the world's crows.

"The score stands as such: team WoJ - 4 team Dom - 6."

Cloud was up next and it turned out that he was a horrible marksman. Neither of his shots hit the target. Xemnas went and earned one point for team Warriors of Justice, all the while ranting about darkness and Kingdom Hearts. Saix made one point. I won't elaborate on how he got that point, but it had something to do with fishnet stockings and a steak knife. Finally, (A/N: and I mean finally! This challenge was so boooring!) it was down to the final two - Zexion and Xaldin. The score was WoJ: 5, Dom: 7. Zexion stepped up with his bow and made two fluent shots, both hitting dead center. His fellow teammates were impressed.

"Man, you're good at everything, aren't you?" Axel asked. Zexion shrugged.

"I guess."

"Wow..." Sora murmured with stars in his eyes. "You're my hero...I wanna be just like you when I grow up!"

"Whatever." It was finally time. Xaldin stepped forward and took aim...and promptly knocked out by an African swallow carrying a coconut." Team Dominators went on a rampage and Ansem walked over to the unconscious man to examine him.

"Yep. He's out cold."

"Then what are we going to do?! The challenge is a draw!" Larxene shouted.

"Simple, my good woman." Ansem held out his fisted hands. "I hold your Destiny in my hands. Now pick one." The blonde bit her lip then chose his left hand. "Too bad, You loose!" Ansem chuckled then walked away.

"You loose! You loose! Hahaha, you loose!" Imogene cheered throwing bottles of soy sauce in the air. Then she glared at Demyx again.

"What is your problem with me?!" he asked.

"You make me sick! JK! Lol! BBQ! AAA!" Imogene said flapping her hand as she skipped away and hopped onto a tricycle. She started peddling furiously - though she wasn't getting very far.

Ansem looked toward the jubilant team Warriors of Justice and announced, "Your prize will be delivered to your camp tonight." The group murmured in anticipation.

"Ahh... it feels good not to be the looser." Riku said happily.

-At tribal council

Ansem stood in front of the bonfire and said, "Let's make this quick. It's Thursday and I want to watch my CSI." There were a couple of glares thrown his way and he continued, obliviously. "So this is team Dominator's second tribal meeting, and like the first one, Xaldin is still unconscious."

-The author fast forwarded the voting process because she was just too lazy to write it. -

"And the results are in! Kairi has 4 votes, Saix has 6 votes!"

"So I'm being voted out?" Saix asked quietly. Ansem nodded curtly.

"I don't want to be voted out!" Saix screamed.

"Oh no! He's going into berserker mode!" Larxene yelled hiding behind the bench.

"AAAAARRRRRRRGGGGGGHHHHHH!!!!" Saix picked up his torch and brandished it like a sword. Within minutes, there was fire everywhere.

"YOU CAN'T GET RID OF MEEEEEEEE!" Saix yelled when all of a sudden, someone tackled him to the ground. The man who had charged Saix was an extremely muscular man with black sunglasses and a pin that read 'security'. The man raised a protesting Saix above his head and threw the nobody into the trapdoor.

"Thanks Rex." Ansem said to the man.

"S'no problem sir." He thumped his chest and said, "Peace out dogs."
