A/N: I want to give a shout-out to Dragonfang2011 and MoonstoneWings, for reading and reviewing every chapter so far. Even if Fanfiction messed up, they sent me a PM with their review in it. I just want to let you guys know how much it means to me. Now, on to the next episode!
Episode 4: How Much Do You Know?
Last Time, On Survivor: Beyblade Style!
The first elimination from Redemption took place...
"Dude, this is for real. Someone goes home for good this time." Kyouya said.
And it was Nile who went home.
Hikaru just jumped from the platform to the grass on the other side. "Hikaru stays in the game!" Blader DJ announced.
Meanwhile, back on Survivor Island, Blue won their second Challenge and sent Red to their second Tribal.
"Blue Team wins Immunity and the reward!Red Team, I got nothing for you, so you can go back to camp."
And Masamune was sent to duel with Hikaru.
"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."
How will Masamune and Hikaru rub off on each other? Will it be Blue's turn to go to Tribal? How do I come up with these questions? All those answers, and more, on this episode of Survivor: Beyblade Style!
Blue Team Camp – Day 10
Gingka was still asleep when everyone else was awake. Eating that much does that to a guy. Madoka was next to him, pulling her hands through his spiky red hair, whispering, "Oh Gingka..." over and over again. She smiled.
Madoka Confession: Gingka is, and almost certainly always be, the love of my life. It's scary though. Not knowing if your crush likes you or not.
She had been doing this same thing for the past 3 days, and Gingka had never noticed her once. She was walking out of the shelter when Yuu walked in. "Madoka, would you wake Gingky up for me? You and him are going to see the Redemption Duel thingy. See you around!" And with that, he ran out of the shelter. She sighed, wishing she had his endless energy. She turned around and gently pushed Gingka. It took a few tries, but he finally woke up.
"Huh? What, where... Oh! Madoka! What's up?" Gingka said, still only half awake.
"You and I are going to see the Redemption Duel. Come on silly! Let's go!" She pulled Gingka out of bed and out into the woods, saying good-bye to everyone. Gingka, still only half awake, was still trying to process what just happened. He realized what was happening only when he saw the boat to Redemption Island.
Redemption Island
Hikaru was, yet again, staring down what was to be her opponent for the next hour. Masamune stared right back, even though he was extremely afraid on the inside.
Masamune Confession: Did you see what Hikaru did to Nile? I'm thinking about quitting before the challenge even starts. From what I saw, she'd grown to about twice her strength and speed in THREE DAYS! Three! Imagine what she could do in six!
Hikaru was thinking of ways she could make him lose without having to use all of her strength. She used the kiss on Nile to get him thinking, and at least that was half-enjoyable. Kissing this black-haired loser would suck. Period. He'd probably never kissed a girl and probably never would. She was deep in thought when a hand touched her shoulder. She calmly turned around and saw Blader DJ. "You ready Hikaru?" Hikaru nodded. "Masamune?" Masamune thought about saying no, but his instinct took over.
"Yeah, I'm ready." he said. Blader DJ nodded, then walked off into the woods. Masamune looked behind him and saw Gingka and Madoka from Blue, and Ryuga and Kenta from Red. He glared at Kenta, as he was the one who had put him here. The green-haired boy shrugged and conitnued walking.
"Welcome to the second Redemption Island Duel!" Blader DJ announced. They walked into the same clearing as before, but with a different setup this time. This time, the temple was still there, but two stacks of wooden planks about a foot thick, and two scales, each with a flag on them. One had a green unicorn on it, the other had a blue squid. "Bladers, you must stack these planks so that it creates a domino effect. If you are successful, the last plank will fall on the scale, causing it to go down, raising your flag. The chain reaction will start five minutes from when you start, whether you are ready or not. You will be able to start it manually before the five minutes are up though. First flag raised wins the opportunity to stay on Redemption Island. The other will join Nile back at home. Understand?" Blader DJ explained. Both bladers nodded and took up a starting position next to their planks. "Survivors ready? Go!" Blader DJ exclaimed. Hikaru took two planks and set them down, one at the starting mark, 50 feet away from the scale, and the other a few feet away. Masamune grabbed just one. Hikaru was already on her way back when Masamune put his first down.
4 minutes later...
Hikaru had just finished setting up her planks and ran back to the start to push her first one over. Masamune, seeing this, grabbed his last 4 planks in one go and sprinted to the end. He set his planks up and bursted into a full sprint to catch up to Hikaru. The girl had reached the start and pushed her first plank over, starting her chain reaction, with the boy not a second behind. "It looks like a race to see who's domino effect was built better now." The host commentated. It was indeed true and Hikaru's planks were taking a slight lead over Masamune's with about ten feet to go. Masamune sighed, knowing his defeat was at hand. And so it was. "Hikaru stays on Redemption once again!" Blader DJ announced. Masamune hung his head and headed back to the host, along with Hikaru. "Hikaru, you have won the privlilege of staying on Redemption Island and in the game once again. Masamune, you will now be exited off the island and back to your home in Japan. Good luck to you Hikaru." he said, and escorted the spectators back to the boat. Hikaru smiled. She didn't use her full strength. At all.
Masamune's Last Words: Well, I lost, but that doesn't matter. I knew once Hikaru beat Nile, and with such ease, that she was a force to be reckoned with. My advice? Watch out Ryuga!
Red Team Camp – Day 10
"So Hikaru won again huh?" Sophie asked. "If we get her back before the merge, I think she needs to go back to Redemption. She proved she was too good to keep for long after she beat Nile."
"I don't know Sophie. I think that her determination to get Ryuga out of here is what is keeping her going. Once Ryuga is gone, she'll probably lose her determination and just quit." Kenta said. Sophie shrugged.
"I can handle her any day." Ryuga said. "Even Gingka could handle her. She's not that good. She'll lose eventually, I know it."
Ryuga Confession: I'm sweating on the inside.
In the woods, Tsubasa and Dashan were talking. "Remind me again why we went along with Sophie? We could've gotten Kenta out with Chao and Masamune's vote." Dashan asked. Tsubasa actually replied this time.
"It's part of my master plan. If we can take Ryuga and Hikaru to the merge with us, they'll cancel each other out, and probably end up in a tiebreaker." Tsubasa explained. Dashan nodded slowly, in half-understanding.
"If you say so, dude." Dashan said. The sun set on the tenth day.
Blue Team Camp – Day 11
Julian woke up earlier than normal. That didn't normally happen, especially not here. He looked around and saw everyone else asleep. He looked outside of the shelter and saw the sun just barely above the horizon. He wondered what could have woken him up so early, before he heard it again. A noise coming from behind the shelter. He put his temporary bey up at the ready and slowly walked around to the back. When he reached it, he looked around and saw a bear. In their rice. His eye's widened. "Let it Rip!" he yelled and launched his bey at the bear. It hit it square in the nose and the bear roared. It raised itself up on two legs and tried to swipe at Julian. He dodged and roundhoused the bear in the side of the head. It reared back all the same, and Julian sent his bey in between the bear's feet to confuse him. He quickly called it back and launched it again, this time at the bear's head. It roared in pain and walked back into the woods. The rest of the Blue Team walked outside to see what the commotion was.
"What's going on Julian?" Gingka asked, rubbing his eyes. "You woke me up from my sleep."
"There was a bear." Julian said. He pointed at the rice sacks. They all had holes in them and all were down to about half of what they used to hold. Gingka's mouth dropped open. He was now fully awake, and ready to punish the bear.
"Where is it!" He said. "Where's the bear that ate my food!" He assumed a launch-ready stance. Madoka pulled him back and told that the bear was gone. "Darn it!" he said.
"Okay, everyone!" Madoka said. "Let's put the bear behind us and think about the challenge today! By my calculations, we should have a mental challenge today, so I suggest we start studying about everything we know. We could send Red to Tribal if we try hard again." Madoka said, all in one breath. Everyone slowly agreed, and they went back into the shelter to study.
Red Team Camp – Day 11
In the woods, Chao Xin and Dashan were talking. "Dashan, I need to get back in with you and Tsubasa. I have no one in an alliance with me and I desperately need one. Please." Chao said. Dashan, not surprised at Chao's ability to play things on the limb of fate, answered.
"Yes. You may join Chao."
"So it's a deal. Thanks." He said, then walked off.
Dashan Confession: I don't plan on keeping him long. If he doesn't do good in the challenge today, he's probably gone. No one agreed with me that Kenta should go home, so maybe they'll let Chao go.
Chao had ran off to get the Tree Mail. He grabbed the paper that was in there and walked back to the remaining five. "Guys! Mail says we need to go ahead and walk over to the Challenge Grounds. Let's go!" He said. Everyone else rolled his eyes at his bossiness. They followed him nonetheless though, and walked into the Challenge Grounds
Reward/Immunity Challenge
"Welcome Survivors, to the fifth Challenge!" He got no applause, so he continued. "Today's challenge will is almost simple. You will answer trivia questions until you get two wrong. The last team standing wins." Everyone nodded their understanding. "One catch though. I won't tell you if you got the last question right or wrong. You won't know if you've gotten two wrong until you're dunked. Clear?" The contestants nodded their understanding. "Alright get on your platforms." The thirteen contestants walked over to their wooden platforms. They were handed a dry-erase board to right their answers on. "The first five questions will be about Pokemon!" Madoka rolled her eyes. "True or false? The Unovan starter Pokemon are Snivy, Tepig, and Squirtle. Reveal!" Madoka, Gingka,Yuu, Kenta, and Sophie put false. Everyone else put true. "Okay, next question. Trainers are required to be how many years old to participate in Gym Battles and League Tournaments? Reveal!" Madoka, Yuu, and Kenta put down ten. Gingka and Sophie put down 15. Everyone else put down 16. Blader DJ's hand moved to pull down levers, and dumped Tsubasa, Ryuga, Dashan, Chao, Argo, Julian, Mei-mei, and Kyouya. "We are down to five. Next question, If a ghost type is attacked by a normal type, how much damage will the attack do? Reveal!" Yuu put down 0, Kenta and Madoka put down 15, Gingka picked 20 and Sophie picked 2. Blader DJ's hands moved again and Gingka and Sophie fell down. "Next question, Is there a steel type gym in Sinnoh? Reveal!" Yuu and Kenta put down yes, while Madoka put down no. Blader DJ's hands moved once again and sent Madoka into the water. "Final two. Last question, how many Pokemon are there? Closest one wins gets it right. Reveal!" Yuu put down 612, and Kenta put down 436." Blader DJ's hands moved one last time and sent someone into the water. "Blue Team wins immunity and a reward!" he said. He tossed the Idol to Yuu, who was jumping for joy at the prospect of winning for his team. "Blue Team, you have also won a supply of Dr. Pepper, hot dogs, and brownies for three days! Enjoy!" He said and walked away. The Blue Team headed off to camp, as did the Red Team.
Blue Team Camp – Night 11
The Blue Team slept well that night, mostly because they were filled with hot dogs, soda, and brownies. Real food does that to you.
Red Team Camp – Day 12
"Tsubasa, I want Chao gone. He's dumb, bossy, and doesn't deserve to be here. Let him go get beat by Hikaru. He deserves it." Tsubasa just shrugged.
"Hey guys!" Chao said, walking in on their conversation. "Who are we voting tonight?"
"Ryuga. You voting with us?" Dashan asked. Chao nodded and walked off in the other direction.
Back in the camp, the other alliance was talking. "Guys, we need to start breaking the other alliance down." Sophie said. I think that Chao is in the other alliance. He's weak, and he's an enemy. Good enough for me." The other boys nodded in agreement.
Tribal Council
"Welcome, Red Team, to your third Tribal!" There was no applause. "Okay. So Ryuga, you've probably heard about Hikaru's strength growing. Are you nervous at all?" Blader DJ asked. Ryuga shook his head.
"No, mostly because everyone makes mistakes, and she's no different. I don't think she can make it to the merge without losing once."
"Okay, thanks for the insight Ryuga. Dashan, is everything solid in your tribe?" the host asked.
"No, no it's not." Dashan replied, glaring at Chao.
"Okay, on that note, let's begin voting."
Tsubasa walked up and voted.
Ryuga walked up and voted.
Sophie walked up and voted.
Dashan walked up and voted.
Chao walked up and voted.
Kenta walked up and voted.
"I will now tally the votes. Whoever receives the most votes must leave the Tribal Temple immediately. First vote...
Chao.
Second vote...
Chao.
Third vote...
Ryuga.
Two votes Chao, one vote Ryuga." Blader DJ said.
Fourth vote...
Chao."
Chao started to sweat, as one more vote would send him to Redemption.
Fifth vote...
…
…
…
…
…
…
…
Chao.
Chao sighed as he grabbed his torch and his bey and walked up to Blader DJ. "Chao, the tribe has spoken. You must now walk down the Walk of Shame and ride the Boat of Loserdom to Redemption Island, where you will battle for the right to remain in the game. Good luck." the host said, and shoved him down the stairs of the Temple.
Next Time, On Survivor: Beyblade Style!
A third person is sent away. Is Hikaru's reign over?
"Hikaru has lost the lead!" Blader DJ said.
And a new twist threatens the alliances.
"Wait, What! No way!" ? Said.
12 are left on Survivor Island. Who will got to Redemption next time, on Survivor: Beyblade Style!
A/N: I'm sorry for the random outburst of Pokemon in the challenge, but it's the first thing that came to mind that wasn't Beyblade. Keep reading out there!
