A/N: Hello once again faithful readers! We're getting closer and closer to the merge and Hikaru's almost there. PLEASE READ THE ENTIRE BOTTOM NOTE! I HAVE SOMETHING IMPORTANT TO SAY!
Episode 6: Are You Ready to Rumble?
Last Time, On Survivor: Beyblade Style!
Hikaru had her closest call yet…
Hikaru had finally lost herself in Chao's eyes, and at the worst possible time. She didn't snap out of it until he was completely into the water. She then dove down and tried to find the first puzzle bag. "Hikaru has lost the lead for only the second time she's been here!" Blader DJ announced.
But she was able to pull out on top once again and keep herself in the game, but not without leaving an imprint on her opponent first.
"Hikaru wins immunity once again!" the host said. Chao hung his head in defeat. Hikaru saw this and went over. She held her hand out, in a peace offering. Chao slapped it. "That was for being an awesome competitor." Then she did something unexpected. She kissed him. Chao just went into it cool. When she pulled away she spoke again. "That was for seducing me." She said. Then she slapped him. "That was for trying to seduce me into losing." She walked away at that, and left Chao rubbing his cheek in pain.
Meanwhile, back on Survivor Island, a switch was made, Blue giving Red their best two players, and Red giving up decent players.
"There was a team swap back at Redemption Island. We're on the Blue Team now!" Kenta said, holding out his newly painted blue blade.
But Blue was able to pull out yet another win, making it their third in a row.
"Blue Team wins immunity and more food!" Blader DJ announced. He tossed the idol to Sophie as she and Kenta were congratulated by the others. They were lead back to camp with their donuts and coffee. "Red Team, You will be going to your Third Tribal Council in a row tomorrow night. Good luck." Blader DJ said as he walked back to the production camp. Red team sulked backed to camp.
And Argo was sent to Redemption, for the fact that he lost the challenge for them, and couldn't tell his left from right.
Fifth and final vote, fifth person sent to Redemption Island… Is…" Blader DJ said dramatically. "Argo." Blader DJ said. Argo, furious at having to leave, grabbed his torch, stormed up there and threw it at Blader DJ.
Will Gingka still be PO'd at Julian? Will the Red Team finally get a win? And what is Mei-mei doing in the background? Find out, on this episode of Survivor: Beyblade Style!
Blue Team Camp – Day 19
"Oh my gosh, thank the lord for coffee." Madoka said. She had just woken up because of Gingka's snoring, but she wasn't one to hold grudges, not against her crush anyway. She was the first one up for once, and she had first pick at coffee and donuts. Gingka woke up soon after, and went to sit by Madoka. "Good morning Gingka." Madoka said.
"Good morning Madoka." Gingka replied. Everyone woke up eventually, at their own time. It was beginning to feel like a vacation for most of the Blue Team. They hadn't had to go to Tribal in more than a week, they kept getting awesome prizes for winning, and they were on a roll. Gingka knew it wouldn't last forever though, because every time they voted off a Red Team player, it was normally someone weak, and now all that was left was their strongest players. Going into the merge, it was important to try and get some of the middlemen out, those who were just kind of sitting in the background, participating in the random challenge. Gingka was forced out of his thoughts when Madoka knocked him on the head.
"I said, do you know who's going to watch Hikaru battle it out today?" Madoka said. Gingka snapped out of it. He shook his head no. "I'll go tell Julian to get the Tree Mail then." She got up and walked over to Julian. Gingka could see her conversing with him, and decided to go with him, see what had happened when he had told Gingka to send Argo and Kyouya to Redemption.
He followed him out of the camp, and caught up to him within the minute. He kept out of sight for a few more though, as he heard Julian talking to himself. "So, if I throw the challenge today, I can get Yuu out, and then make an alliance with Sophie and Kenta, and we'll battle it out with Gingka and his gang! Perfect!" he said. Gingka thought for a minute, and then decided to go back and talk with his alliance. He walked into camp, and motioned for them to follow him. They did as they were told and followed him into the other side of the woods.
"I just heard Julian plotting in the forest. He plans to throw the challenge today and blame it on you Yuu. He wants to eliminate one of us so he can team up with Sophie and Kenta, and then battle it out with us. I need your opinion." Gingka said. "We can both oppose him directly and vote him out if we lose, or we can team up with Kenta and Sophie first. Your choice." His teammates thought before Yuu spoke his mind.
"I think that if we just oppose him directly, in front of Sophie and Kenta, we won't have to team up with Kenta and Sophie, so we four can get into the merge." Yuu said.
"Good plan Yuu. You all agree with him?" Gingka asked. Madoka and Mei-mei nodded yes, so they walked back into camp. He was greeted by Julian drawing the marbles.
"Kenta and I are going to Redemption, looks like. Let's go Kenta." Julian said. He seemed in a hurry to get out of there as he left camp and headed to the boat.
Julian Confession: What Gingka and his entourage don't know is that I'm already teamed up with Kenta and Sophie. We formed an alliance before the last challenge, and we've been thinking of new strategies. Lucky Gingka, I don't want to make him leave before the merge, as that would mean that I'd be the only good guy on this team.
Redemption Island, one hour before the challenge.
"I wonder where my opponent is?" Hikaru asked herself. She had seen the boat pull up last night. That person had been too stupid to look for fire, and she had ended up with the camp to herself once again. Argo was wondering where Hikaru was too, but on the opposite side of the island. He finally gave up trying to find her and just went to sit down at the Challenge Grounds. The setup this time was almost the same as the other time he'd been here. There was a metal pole hanging on two bamboo poles, and there were six bags on top of the pole. Then there were two basketball goals, with a three point line and five marks. He waited at the Temple for over an hour before Hikaru and Blader DJ finally showed up.
"There you are Argo. Now we can start." Blader DJ said. Argo looked behind him and saw Julian and Kenta from the Blue Team, and Ryuga and Kyouya from Red. "Now, the way this challenge is going to work, I'm going to give both of you a grappling hook. You have to shoot it at the six bags up there until you find a basketball. Then it's like a three-point contest, taking your shot at one of five marks until you finish them all. First person to finish their fifth three-pointer wins another three days on the island. Understand?" Blader DJ asked. Argo and Hikaru nodded, Hikaru with a frown on her face.
Hikaru Confession: Wow, been a while since I've been in here. Anyways, I HATE basketball. I just hope that I can pull a few lucky shots in the end.
"Okay, Survivors ready?" Blader DJ asked. Hikaru and Argo got into a shooting stance at the starting line. "Go!" Blader DJ said, and both survivors fired. Hikaru got a bag on her first try, while Argo completely missed. Hikaru rolled her catch in, and untied the bag. Inside was a basketball. "Hikaru gets a lucky break to start out with, and she's already onto the three-point part!" Blader DJ said. Hikaru stepped up to the line and shot a perfect swish on her first shot. "Hikaru is on fire on this Challenge. And Argo is still unable to hit a bag." Indeed, Argo had missed a bag on his third shot. He got angry at his gun, and threw it on the ground, causing it to fire and snag a bag. Blader DJ and Argo just stared at it for a second. "Umm, I guess Argo got a bag."
Argo Confession: Really? The ground has more talent at shooting a grappling hook than me? Who would've guessed!
Argo quickly reeled in his catch, only to discover that he had snagged a cube. "Come on!" Argo said. Hikaru had now sunk her third three-pointer and looked over at Argo. She snickered and continued to shoot. Argo threw his gun on the ground again, and sure enough, it hooked another bag. This time he opened it, and to his annoyance, found another cube. "You've got to be kidding me." Argo said. Hikaru looked over at him again, before sinking her fifth shot. "Hikaru wins! Again!" Blader DJ said. Hikaru fist pumped while Argo got really, really mad. You could almost see the steam coming out of his ears as he stormed up to Blader DJ. "What?" Argo asked. Blader DJ was pretty scared, as a PO'd Argo was not a guy you wanted to interact with. Argo was pulling his hand back to punch something, but was hit in the back of the head with a bey, making him fall onto Blader DJ, unconscious.
"Thanks Kyouya." Blader DJ said. Kyouya nodded and started the walk back to the boat. Blader DJ and Hikaru went the other way, sharing the weight of Argo on their backs, and tossed him onto the boat to take him home.
Argo's Last Words: Huh? Where am I? Did I… Kyouya! That little scoundrel hit me with his bey didn't he? Stupid blader…
"Good luck Hikaru" Blader DJ said as she walked back to her camp.
Red Team Camp – Day 19
"Man, Hikaru is just unstoppable right now isn't he?" Dashan said. He was met with heads nodding.
Dashan Confession: I feel like I'm the only one on this team who actually talks.
"Any of you know what the Challenge is tomorrow?" Dashan asked. All heads turned to Tsubasa, as he was the WBBA's Secret Agent. Tsubasa shook his head, and Dashan settled down, realizing he wasn't going to get any talking from his teammates. It was silence in camp as the sun set on their 19th day at camp.
Blue Team Camp – Day 20
"Well, we're on our twentieth day." Gingka said.
"Yup." Kenta said. "Are you all ready to work hard today?" The green-haired boy asked. He was met with "YES!" from most everybody in the camp, except Julian, who stayed silent.
Julian was thinking of ways to throw every challenge he could think of. He really needed Yuu gone, or at least someone from Gingka's alliance. So when Mei-mei walked back with the Tree Mail for today, telling them to go to the Challenge, Julian felt ready.
Reward/Immunity Challenge
"Welcome back Survivors! Are you ready to face the hardest challenge yet?" Blader DJ asked. Some of the contestants looked nervous at this, while others beat their chests. "Alright then, if you'll look behind me, some of you may recognize a wrestling ring. Today's challenge will be a tag team wrestling match. There will be four players on each team. You will wrestle until you either are KO'd; you tap out, or tag out. If you tag out, that person gets in the ring and takes the others place. Blue Team, since you have three more members than Red, three of you will announce the match. Who's announcing?" Blader DJ asked. Madoka, Mei-mei, and Kenta's hands shot up, slightly before Yuu's did as well. "Sorry Yuu, looks like you're wrestling." Blader DJ said. The little boys head hung as he took his place next to the ring. The announcers took their place at their table, and Blader DJ pulled on a referee uniform over his head. "Now, who's up first?" Blader DJ asked. Julian and Ryuga crawled in. "Alright then, Survivor's ready?" Blader DJ said. Julian raised his hand, as if he needed to answer a question, but the 'ref' ignored it. "GO!" The host said. Ryuga came out of his stance and drop kicked Julian before he could come back down. As Julian came up, Ryuga came back at him and clotheslined him, sending him back down. Julian turned around and tried to get up again, but was clotheslined once more. This time, Julian stood up quickly knowing what was happening this time, but Ryuga back flipped over him and pushed him down with his feet, then landed on the rope.
"Looks like Ryuga is going for a body slam Madoka." Kenta said. Ryuga did indeed jump off the ropes and landed elbows first on Julian's back. He cringed in pain, but got up. Ryuga was up on the ropes again, and jumped before Julian could get up completely. He landed on Julian again, but this time stayed on him. "1, 2…" Blader DJ said, before Julian kicked Ryuga off of him. Ryuga landed and got back up, but was met with a kick to the stomach and a slap. Ryuga fell back down and Julian pinned him. "1, 2, 3!" The 'ref' said.
"Looks like Ryuga's out of the game." Mei-mei said.
Tsubasa climbed in to take Ryuga's place and roundhoused Julian before he could get back to his corner. Julian fell like a rock, unconscious. "1, 2, 3!" Blader DJ said.
"Now Tsubasa has come back in and avenged Ryuga." Madoka said.
Tsubasa quickly tagged Dashan in, and Sophie climbed in as well. They both started to circle each other, waiting for the other to make the first move. They stayed like this for a while, before Kenta said, "Get on with it!" Sophie made the first move while Dashan turned his head to look at Kenta. She tackled him to the ground and pinned him there, but Dashan kicked her off before Blader DJ could reach 2. He then climbed up on the ropes, and when Sophie tried to get up, he body slammed her. She kicked him off, but he came right back and got her head and leg in a hold. It took all of her might not to squeal, and she calmly said, "I… I…UNCLE!" Blader DJ got Dashan off of her and Sophie walked back to her corner. "Alright, it's 3 to 2, Red. Blue, who's next?" Blader DJ asked.
Gingka crawled in, psyched to kick some butt. He started to circle Dashan, who hadn't tagged out, and waited for him to make the first move. This time Dashan randomly charged at Gingka, but the redhead grabbed his arm and flipped him on the spot. He got down and pinned him. "1, 2, 3!" Blader DJ said. Gingka got off of Dashan, and he rolled out of the ring. Gingka stayed in another round and got ready to face Tsubasa. The silver haired boy got in slowly. He just stood there, until Gingka got bored and pulled back on the ropes, and ran ahead at full speed, trying to clothesline him. Tsubasa just ducked under it and drop kicked him, making him fly out of the ring into his corner. He quickly got back in and grappled with Tsubasa, as he was waiting for him in the ring. Gingka got the better of Tsubasa though, and flipped the older boy on his side. He quickly pinned him, but it only lasted to the count of two. Tsubasa kicked out and got up, only to be body slammed back down. This time the pin held longer, and Tsubasa wasn't able to get up by the count of three. He rolled out of the ring and Gingka prepared to face Kyouya. He was visibly fatigued by now, as he was facing his third blader. Kyouya rushed him, and Gingka didn't have time to react. Kyouya got hold of him, held the redhead above his head, and threw him down. Then he picked him back up and did the same thing twice. Only after that did he pin him. Gingka didn't even try to get up, and was eliminated.
"It all comes down to this." Kenta said. "Yuu versus Kyouya. Poor guy."
Yuu got in the ring, but didn't last long. One snarl from Kyouya and the poor boy fainted. Kyouya just got on top of him, ending the match and finally getting a win for the Red Team. "Red Team wins!" Blader DJ said, getting out of the ref uniform. "Red Team, not only have you won invincibility, your reward is a nice picnic in the mountains!" The final four Red Team members cheered. They followed Blader DJ to a helicopter and got on with him. The Blue Team walked back to camp, disappointed with their loss.
Yuu Confession: I hope my teammates don't turn on me. I didn't do very well in the challenge.
When Blue Team walked back into camp, most of them walked into the shelter and went to sleep early. Only Yuu was left awake, wondering what he would do tomorrow.
Reward
"Oh my gosh! Meat!" Kyouya said, before diving into the food. The rest of the team followed, and only Tsubasa was left walking towards the table. And while the rest of them just shoveled any food they could find in their mouth, Tsubasa actually used manners, and ate slowly. When all was said and done, Kyouya was by far the fullest. You could see his belly had grown to twice its normal size, but the former face hunter could still walk fine. The Red Team got back on the copter and flew back to their camp.
Blue Team Camp – Day 21
Everyone woke up early that morning, due to going to sleep so early, but it was silence until around lunchtime. At that point, Gingka and Julian called their respective groups into the forest. "So, I think that we could vote off Julian. He's still plotting, and I don't like it. If he keeps on like this, our entire group will be gone. It would be better if we could actually work like a team, and not two separate groups, you know what I'm saying?" Gingka said. His alliance nodded, all except Mei-mei. She just walked away from the group.
Mei-mei Confession: Julian had come up to me after the Challenge and asked me to vote for Yuu with him, and threatened to reveal my secret if I don't. I don't want my friends to know what I've done in the past, but I don't want to betray my alliance either. It's confusing; I don't know what will happen.
It was mostly silent on the way to Tribal, only a mutter here, and a whisper there, stuff like that. Things really picked up once they reached the temple though.
Tribal Council
"Welcome, Blue Team, to your second Tribal Council!" Blader DJ said. Some of the players gave a wave at the host but most remained unfazed. "Okay then, Kenta, how is the whole team right now?" Blader DJ asked.
"It's really divided right now. But one of the alliances will fall, eventually." Kenta replied
"Okay. Sophie, how is your first loss on the Blue Team? Is it disappointing at all?" Blader DJ asked.
"Well, if you ask me, it's pretty weird. The Blue Team was doing fine until we switched teams. Sometimes I think Kenta is a jinx." Sophie said, getting a glare from Kenta and a few giggles from Madoka and Mei-mei.
"Thanks Sophie. Now, as I can't seem to think of any more questions, we'll start the voting. Sophie, if you please?" Blader DJ said. Sophie walked up and voted.
Gingka walked up and voted.
Madoka walked up and voted.
Yuu walked up and voted.
Julian walked up, and then held up Yuu's name on a slip of paper. "You performance at the Challenge was pitiful." He said.
Kenta walked up and voted.
Mei-mei walked up, thought for about five minutes, then wrote down a name and handed it to Blader DJ.
"I will now tally the votes. Whoever receives the most votes must exit Tribal Temple immediately. First vote…
Yuu." Blader DJ announced. Yuu was already looking nervous.
"Second vote…
Julian
Third vote…
Julian.
Fourth vote…
Julian." Julian desperately pleaded that his threat to Mei-mei had worked.
"Fifth vote…
Yuu.
Sixth vote…
Yuu. Three votes apiece between Yuu and Julian. The seventh and final vote…"
Mei-mei realized that her vote was the deciding vote.
"Seventh person sent to Redemption Island…"
Gingka hoped that everyone had voted with him.
"Is…"
Julian looked at Mei-mei, who looked guilty.
"Julian." Julian sighed and walked up with his torch. "Julian, 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. Julian walked out of the temple and down the stairs. "Remaining Blue Team, head back to camp. I'll see two of you tomorrow at Redemption Island." The rest of the Blue Tribe started the long walk back to camp.
Next time, on Survivor: Beyblade Style!
The final ten expect a merge, and they think they have one…
"Hold out your blades!" Blader DJ said, with paint in hand.
And yet another is sent home. Who will it be? Find out next time, on Survivor: Beyblade Style!
