Episode 3: The Fallen Collide
Last time, On Survivor: Beyblade Style
Hikaru arrived at Redemption Island…
Hikaru got off the boat and looked around at her new home. "Well, if this is where I'm going to be living for a while, so be it."
And the Blue Team almost missed the Challenge.
Blader DJ sighed in peace as the Blue Team walked in. "Ah, good to see you decided to show up, Blue Team." Gingka sighed, knowing that his team had made missed the Challenge.
But Blader DJ had a surprise for them.
"I would like you all to hand over your blades."
The challenge ensued, and Blue Team ended up in Tribal.
Welcome to Tribal Council, players.
And it was Nile who ended up on Redemption Island.
"Eighth and final vote..." Blader DJ said. Yu was biting his nails.
"Second person on Redemption Island..." Nile looked more nervous than ever.
"Is..." Gingka crossed his fingers that it wasn't Yu.
"Nile."
Who will win the next challenge? Who goes home for good? Why am I asking these questions? Find out these answers and more, on this episode of Survivor: Beyblade Style!
Red Team Camp-Day 7
Everyone woke up at a normal time and got out of their pathetic excuse for a shelter. "Guys, we need to act more like a team." Dashan said. "We all know we're pretty divided. I know for a fact that my alliance is all but done." He took a glance at Tsubasa. The silver haired blader nodded. "I suggest that we try to come out and do our best in all the challenges, and if we lose anyway, the weakest link goes." Everyone but Kenta shook their heads.
"What about me!" The green-haired boy said. "We all know I'm the weakest link. It's not fair that you're planning my demise right in front of me!" he said, now angry. "You know what? I hope I never see any of you again." He cried, and then ran into the woods.
"You know what?" Ryuga said. "I don't agree with this either. I like Kenta. He's a good kid, and he deserves to be here longer than you intend." He said, then got up and walked away to find Kenta.
Blue Team Camp-Day 7
"Guys! Tree Mail!" Gingka yelled from outside the shelter. That got everyone up. Everyone except Kyouya walked around to the back of the shelter to hear what Gingka had to say. "It says that Hikaru and Nile are having their challenge to see who go's home today. We have to draw marbles to see who gets to go watch them." He pulled a small bag of marbles out of the large envelope and put it down on the ground. Kyouya had now woken up and walked around back to see what the commotion was.
Kyouya Confession: I don't know how it happened, but Gingka has assumed a role of leadership around here, and thrown Argo overboard.
"Would you like to draw the marbles Madoka?" Gingka asked. Madoka blushed and nodded. Everyone else just rolled their eyes.
Mei-mei Confession: It's pretty obvious to everyone that Gingka is playing Madoka's crush on him. He's being all nice and stuff to her, but I can see the smirk on his face that Madoka doesn't.
Madoka drew two marbles out of the bag. "Kyouya and Argo, looks like you two are going to Redemption Island." Kyouya smiled and Argo frowned. But they both grabbed their few belongings they had brought with them and headed off to the boat.
Redemption Island
Hikaru and Nile were staring each other down. They didn't like each other, and probably never would, but they had to deal with it, at least for today. Neither of them said a word until the boat pulled up. Hikaru made a move right then and kissed Nile. The boy opened his eyes in surprise and was about to push her away when he heard a whisper in his ear. "Just go with it." Hikaru said. "I'm putting on a show for the other contestants. If you win, you'll appreciate it." She then went back to kissing. Now Nile understood and went along with the kiss.
"If you two lovebirds are done, we have a challenge to get to." Blader DJ said. Hikaru looked up, and then pretended to realize there were other people there. She pulled away quickly, and looked around at who came. Kyouya and Argo from the Blue Team, and Masamune and Tsubasa from her own team were there. Kyouya looked surprised at Nile's sudden show of affection towards Hikaru, and was secretly disgusted by it. "Now, follow me, if you please." Blader DJ said. The two "lovebirds" got up and followed the host.
Kyouya was talking with Nile on the way there. "Dude, this is for real. Someone is going home for good this time." Kyouya said.
"You don't think I know that? Don't worry Kyouya, you have nothing to worry about." They left their conversation at that.
They came to a clearing with an open temple on one side and hole in the middle. A target platform with 4 rings and a bull's-eye stood 15 feet above the water. There was a rack with Blue and Red safety equipment and a steel tube with circular padding on either end. "Hikaru, Nile, please put on your safety equipment and grab your weapons." They did so, and then jumped onto the platform. "Contestants, you must fight each other with your weapons and padded hands and feet. First one off the edge loses, and the other person gets a point. First person to 3 points wins." They nodded in understanding. "Now, Survivors Ready? Go!" He said, and the challenge was off. Hikaru started off with a high swing, which Nile dodged. Nile then swung a high one, right where Hikaru's head was, and she ducked. But then he swung his feet under her and tripped her. He swung his weapon at her like a golf club and sent her off the side. "Point Nile!" Blader DJ said. Hikaru climbed back up and started Round 2. She swung a low one first this time and when he jumped to dodge it, Hikaru pulled back quickly and pushed her weapon into his stomach, sending him flying off the edge. "Point Hikaru!" the host said. The next round was a fierce one, each one attacking, dodging, defending, parrying, swinging, and kicking to the point of exhaustion. Hikaru had more energy in the end though, and did a roundhouse to his helmet, sending him to the ground. She pushed him off the edge. "Point Hikaru!" Blader DJ said. Nile climbed back up, and even after the Round started, they took a minute to rest. They were both had as much energy as they were going to get, so they started. Hikaru spun her weapon in the air, and then brought it down. Nile dodged to the right and held his weapon out to his left and caught Hikaru with it. She rolled off of it and pushed him in the back of the head. He stumbled for a second, and then regained balance. He turned around and Hikaru was already there. She punched him in the jaw, and then swept his legs out from under him. He was on his knees, and was just praying to the sun god. Hikaru thought for a second, then lashed out with her weapon and knocked him off the side. He climbed up, out of the platform, while Hikaru just jumped from the platform to the grass on the other side. "Hikaru stays in the game!" Blader DJ announced. All four of the bladers from the other teams had their mouths open in shock
Masamune Confession: Wow. I didn't know that a girl could change that much in such a short time. She must've had a while to think while she was on this island.
"Hikaru, you will stay on the island with your rice. Nile, good game, but you're going home. For good this time." Nile hung his head in defeat.
"Good-bye Nile!" Hikaru said, in the sweetest voice possible. Kyouya just looked on. When Hikaru walked past him, she gave him a smug smile. As if to say, "You're next buddy." Blader DJ walked the bladers who weren't on Redemption back to the boat.
Nile's Last Words: I had fun on Survivor, even if I went home first. I wasn't expecting to lose to Hikaru, much less 3 to 1. So I hope that she can use those smarts and skills to win.
Red Team Camp – Day 7
"So how was it Masamune?" Chao asked when his tribemate walked up.
"As good as it gets, I guess. Hikaru beat Nile." Masamune said. This dropped some of the Red Team's mouths.
"She did what now?" Kenta asked. "She actually beat him? Nile?" Tsubasa nodded. "Wow. If she comes back at the merge, we better watch out for her. Especially you, Ryuga."
Blue Team Camp – Day 7
"So let me get this straight. Hikaru beat Nile. 3 to 1. In a physical challenge. How is that even possible?" Gingka asked. Kyouya shrugged at his team. He didn't understand how it was that hard to believe. He knew Hikaru was a strong person. He knew Nile better than anybody, and Nile wasn't strong unless he worked out every day. Which he did back in Africa. Not here.
"That's right Hagane." Argo said. "Hikaru beat Greenie's little buddy." He motioned towards Kyouya when he said Greenie. Kyouya wasn't one to let insults slide.
"What did you call me?" Kyouya said.
Kyouya Confession: I don't know what his problem is. He's probably scarred from having to raise his brothers and sister like they were his own kids. Ouch.
"Greenie." Argo replied. Kyouya got up, snarling, went over to Argo, and was about to punch him in the face, when a squeal interrupted.
"Stop it! Stop it, please!" Mei-mei squealed. "Please don't fight! We shouldn't do that right now! Not before the merge." Mei-mei said. Madoka was next to her, nodding.
"He's right guys." Gingka backed the girls up. "So, Kyouya, put that fist back where it belongs, and Argo, be a little nicer. Or you're gone. Kapiche?" Gingka said.
Kyouya and Argo settled down. But they sent stares at Gingka every now and then as the Sun set and the moon rose.
Red Team Camp – Day 8
"We have a Challenge today." Chao observed. He was looking at the Tree Mail for today, and he was walking back to the Camp while reading it. "I don't think we can afford to let the Blue Team win again. That would be bad." He walked back into the camp to see that Kenta and Ryuga were battling off to the side while everyone else was asleep. They were talking while they were battling.
"Ryuga, I think I've finally got the hang of it!" Kenta said. "Do you think that could help us?" Ryuga nodded. Ryuga was concentrating fiercely on his bey. He had modified it so it spun left, and it was now an attack type. He was now getting in tune with his blade. Kenta noticed this and shut up. Chao chose that moment to walk in.
"Hey guys! How's it going?" Ryuga, not expecting the sudden sound, flinched at this. "Do you mind getting the other bladers up, Kenta?" Kenta nodded and went to wake up the rest of the team. Before they were all awake, Chao put some rice on the fire, while Ryuga went out with his bey to hunt. He thought that they should be well fed before the challenge today.
Blue Team Camp – Day 8
After a good breakfast of rice and fish, the Blue Team was ready to go to the Challenge. "You all ready?" Gingka asked. He got nods from everyone, and they went off to the Challenge grounds. Mei-mei was talking to Madoka and Yuu on the way there.
"I hope this is a mental challenge." Mei-mei said. Madoka nodded in agreement.
Madoka Confession: There hasn't been a full mental challenge yet. By my calculations comparing the last few seasons of Survivor to this one, the first mental challenge should either be this one or the next one. I hope.
They continued talking as they walked onto the Challenge grounds.
Reward/Immunity Challenge
When the teams walked in they were greeted by Blader DJ and a clay track."Welcome, bladers, to today's challenge! Are you all ready for it?" Blader DJ asked. He was met with yes's and nods from both sides. "Then here's the challenge. You will each be responsible for carrying 20 pounds of sand on your back. You can either carry your bag all the way, or you can give your bag to another player on your team. The team's will be situated at opposite sides of the track. The first team to catch the other team wins Immunity, and a Barbeque feast!" The bladers cheered at the idea of a feast. "Are you ready?" The bladers nodded. "Then head to your respective sides of the track! Your bags will be there."
When both teams were on the track, Blader DJ got ready to start the Challenge. "Survivors ready? Go!" he said, and the challenge began.
They both started out fairly good. Everyone carried their 20 pounds for the first five minutes, and there was no clear lead in place. Yuu gave out first, and handed his bag to Argo. Yuu came back to sit with Blader DJ. "For once, we're actually doing pretty good creampuffs." Argo said, with a smile on his face. Sophie and Kenta gave out for the Red Tribe, and handed both their bags to Ryuga, who was now carrying 60 pounds, and was slowing down considerably, giving Blue a lead. Soon, Madoka, Mei-mei, Chao Xin, and Masamunehad given out as well, leaving Argo with 60 pounds, Gingka with 40 pounds, Ryuga with 100 pounds, everyone else still had 20 pounds. Ryuga was at the back of the pack now, and was giving the Blue Team a sizable lead. But he had one last burst of speed on him, and he hit the thrusters, got up just enough to reach Dashan and Tsubasa, and handed two bags to the former, and three bags to the latter, and sat down. Tsubasa had 60 pounds, and Dashan had 80, and they were the only Red Team left on the track. Julian gave out, and gave his bag to Kyouya. Kyouya was in the front of the pack now, and was about 20 yards away from Tsubasa and Dashan. He decided to end it, before the Red Team could put on a burst of speed, and sprinted. Tsubasa and Dashan could here him coming, but couldn't go any faster, as they felt like they were sprinting, and they were actually going no faster than a slow jog. Kyouya was able to get within 5 feet of them, before he felt like slowing down, and jumped towards them. His hand caught Dashan's left leg and held on.
"Blue Team wins Immunity and the reward! Gingka and Argo thankfully dropped their bags, as well did Dashan and Tsubasa. "Blue Team, follow me to the boat to your reward. Red Team, I got nothing for you, so you can go back to camp." He tossed the idol to Kyouya and went to the boat. The Red Team walked back to camp.
Dashan Confession: If some of the other players hadn't put so much weight on Ryuga, and handed some to us to begin with, we probably could've won, and we'd be eating barbeque right now.
Reward
As soon as Yuu saw the baby back ribs, he knew he was is heaven. He ran over as soon as the boat docked and basically dumped the whole plate in his mouth. "Wait for us Yuu!"Gingka said, seeing the Triple Beef Burgers. "Mine! My Triple Beef Burgers!" He said, shoveling in burger after burger. Everyone found a food that they liked, and chowed down. By the time all the food was gone, which was a whole tables worth of burgers, hot dogs, and barbeque, you could see Gingka's belly had grown to twice it's normal size.
"Has everyone gotten enough food?" Blader DJ asked. Everyone was basically miserable from eating so much, except Gingka, who shook his head and pointed to his mouth. Blader DJ rolled his eyes and tossed him one more burger. He then took Gingka's arm and pulled him back to the boat, or rather, rolled him back to the boat, and everyone else followed.
Red Team Camp – Day 9
The Red Team woke up that morning plotting as to who they wanted gone. "I want Masamune gone." Ryuga said. "I could have done what Kyouya had done if I hadn't that extra 20 pounds on my back." Ryuga complained.
"Ryuga, you already had 80 pounds on your back." Kenta said.
"That you gave me Kenta. You and Sophie both." Ryuga replied. Kenta and Sophie gulped.
"Alright, we'll try to do something."
Later that morning, Kenta saw Masamune alone and had a brilliant idea. "Hey, Masamune!" He said. The black haired blader looked up and saw Kenta calling his name. He got up and walked over.
"What's up Kenta?" he asked.
"Would you mind voting for Sophie tonight? My alliance is voting for her, because she was one of the first ones out of the challenge yesterday." Masamune thought about it for a moment, then replied.
"You have my vote Kenta." Kenta thanked him and ran off.
Kenta told Sophie his plan and she went off to find Tsubasa and Dashan. She found Tsubasa reading a book, one of the two items he had brought with him, and Dashan just sitting, thinking. She went in. "Hi guys, who are you two voting tonight?"
"Either Masamune or Chao." Dashan said. Sophie seemed to think about it a minute, then asked another question.
"Could you make it Masamune for sure? My alliance is voting for him tonight, and we need to more votes to seal the deal." Dashan and Tsubasa looked at each other, their way of communicating and Dashan replied while Tsubasa went back to reading.
"Sure." He replied. Sophie walked out of the shelter, having done her job, and headed back to Ryuga and Kenta.
Tribal Council
"Welcome, Red Team, to your second Tribal Council. Tsubasa, how did you feel when you found out that Hikaru was still in the game?" Blader DJ asked.
"Well, I was surprised at first, but then again, she's Hikaru. Her determination to get Ryuga out could get her off Redemption Island." Tsubasa replied.
"Good answer. Now, Ryuga, how did the loss feel yesterday? Was it frustrating not being able to help your team more than you did?" Blader DJ would've continued with the questions, but got a snarl from Ryuga, telling him to stop. He then said hurriedly, "Alright, why we just go ahead and vote, okay?" He said. Everyone agreed, and Tsubasa walked up and voted, followed by Ryuga.
Then Kenta came up and voted, followed by Masamune, who gave Kenta a wink on the way back.
Sophie walked up and voted, shortly followed by Dashan, then Chao.
"I will now tally up the votes. Whoever receives the most votes must leave the island immediately, and go to Redemption Island.
First vote…
Masamune.
Second vote...
Masamune.
Third vote…
Masamune."
Masamune kicked himself at that point, realizing he'd been tricked.
"Fourth vote…
Sophie.
Fifth vote…
Sophie.
Sixth vote…
Sophie."
Sophie looked up at hearing her name a third time, as she only expected it once, maybe twice.
"Seventh and final vote…"
Masamune prayed that he wouldn't go to Redemption.
"Second Challenger at Redemption Island…"
Sophie wondered if she actually could go to Redemption.
"Is…"
Kenta really hoped his plan worked, he didn't want his own teammate gone.
"Masamune."
The black haired blader sighed, grabbed his torch and walked up to Blader DJ.
"Masamune, the tribe has spoken. You will now walk down the walk of shame and ride the Boat of Loserdom to Redemption Island. Good luck." Masamune handed over his new bey and walked out of the Tribal Temple.
Sophie Confession: I realize now that Tsubasa and Dashan probably split their votes to be safe. It was a smart move, and I would've done the same thing in their place.
"Remaining tributes, head back to camp. I will see two of you tomorrow." The Red Team walked out of the temple and began the long journey back to camp.
Next time, on Survivor: Beyblade Style!
A new alliance is formed…
"So it's a deal?" ? said.
Masamune is challenged by Hikaru…
"Get up lazy-bones!" Hikaru yelled.
And yet another is sent to Redemption Island.
"And the fourth person sent to Redemption… Is…" Blader DJ said.
