A/N: Alright, first off, I have a lot of characters! Nine applications already! But, only one of them is a boy. No offense ladies, but that makes 12 girls if I bring all four of the ladies back from this season. So, I would EXTREMELY appreciate it if I could get a boy application. Come on, I know some of you have good imaginations! Use them! You got this! Also, I have a new poll up on my profile. You can pick up to three of your favorite characters to be in the next season. Now, the chapter. I think you will be utterly shocked.

Chapter 8: Merge! Right?

Last time, on Survivor: Beyblade Style!

Hikaru fought it out with Argo on Redemption Island and she won! Only because Argo can't shoot a gun…

"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.

And when the teams arrived at the Challenge Grounds, they were treated with a one way ticket to pain! Wrestling!

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.

And Red Team finally won a Challenge! Who would've guessed! But Blue Team had to go to a Tribal Council, and it was…

"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! Does anyone like him? No? Okay then!

Blue Team Camp – Day 22

"Well, looks like we're down to six now." Gingka said. Even though it was only their second elimination, that was also the reason they were down. They were doing so well, and then Blader DJ had to go and make it a full physical challenge. Julian was voted out only because Yuu was in their alliance. "But look at the bright side! The merge should be today!" Gingka said. Most of the Blue Team perked up at that, and only Sophie was left thinking.

"Uh, Sophie?" Kenta said. Sophie looked up. "Why are you thinking?" Kenta asked.

"Kenta, I don't think the merge is tomorrow." Sophie said. Kenta frowned.

"Why do you say that?" Kenta asked.

"Think about it. If you've seen Survivor before, you'd know that the merge happens when there are ten people left, normally." Sophie said. Kenta opened his mouth in protest, but Sophie continued speaking, knowing what he would say. "Yes, there are ten people left on the main island, but what about Redemption Island? There are two more over there. A person comes back at the merge don't forget. So, once someone is eliminated two nights from now, a person comes back and makes it ten!" Sophie said. Kenta, following her train of thought now, nodded in understanding, a look of knowing on his face.

"Good thinking Sophie!" Kenta said. Sophie smiled at the praise, but heard Madoka calling names.

"Mei-mei, Yuu, you two are going to Redemption." Madoka said. The two got up and walked up to the boat.

Redemption Island

Hikaru was glaring at Julian. Julian was glaring back. It was a staring war once again at Hikaru's camp.

Hikaru Confession: Other than Ryuga, I would say that Julian was my most hated at camp. Why that snob worked with Dr. Ziggurat, I have no idea, but I think that he should go home. I'll try my hardest to knock him out.

Blader DJ and the spectators walked onto Hikaru's camp. Once they saw the staring match though, they took a step back and then called them. "Guys, time for the challenge." Blader DJ said. Hikaru sighed and got up. Julian did the same, and they walked to the Challenge Grounds. "This time, we have a memory challenge!" There are 20 tiles, each with a symbol under them. You must try and get a match of two symbols. Each match is a point; first one to five points wins. Got it?" Blader DJ explained. The two contestants nodded in understanding, and took their place on the starting line. "Survivors Ready? Go!" Blader DJ said, and they ran off to their tiles.

Hikaru got there first, and flipped over two random tiles, memorizing them. Julian flipped the first two tiles, and memorized them. They continued doing this until Hikaru's strategy prevailed about halfway through, and she got a match. "One point for Hikaru!" Blader DJ said. This continued for about another ten minutes. Julian's strategy was better suited for the challenge, and he was up 3 to 2 before long. "Another match for Julian!" Blader DJ said. He was now up 4 to 2, and he was still going strong. "Hikaru comes back with another point, and closes the gap by a point!" Blader DJ said. After that, they both hit a hitch, and couldn't seem to remember what tiles were what, and they started over. Hikaru flipped two random tiles, and voila, she got a match! It was now tied at four apiece. "Next match wins it!" Exclaimed Blader DJ. Soon one of them forgot their tiles once again, and started over. The other however, picked two tiles and got a match. That person raised their hands in victory as Blader DJ came over to check them. "Hikaru wins again!" Blader DJ said.

Julian Confession: What! No way! I had that challenge in the bag! *he bangs his head against the side of the confessional* Now what! Arrrggh! Gingka, I'll get you!

"Julian it's time to…" Blader DJ started.

"Shut up!" Julian said. He threw his blade on the ground and stormed off to the boat that would take him home.

"Okay… Hikaru, good job. Bye!" Blader DJ said. And with that, Blader DJ and the spectators walked off, leaving Hikaru to wonder what just happened.

Red Team Camp – Day 22

When Tsubasa and Kyouya walked back in from Redemption, they just sat down and tried to read. Dashan, still being the only one who likes to talk, tried to engage in conversation. "So, did Hikaru win again?" Dashan asked. Tsubasa nodded. "So, she'll be coming back tomorrow?" Dashan asked. Tsubasa shook his head. "Why?" Dashan asked. Tsubasa sighed and gestured to Kyouya. Kyouya had the same idea as Sophie, but wasn't afraid of revealing it to his teammates, as there were only three to reveal it to. "Okay, good idea Kyouya." Kyouya nodded his head in thanks and went back to his book.

Dashan Confession: Seriously? I think Kyouya isn't talking just to mess with me. He talked all the time back in Metal City! I know, I had to be his roommate before the game started!

Dashan eventually gave up, and it was silence was once again in the Red Team Camp as the sun set on their 22nd day at camp.

Blue Team Camp – Day 23

"So, you all ready for the merge?" Gingka asked. Everyone cheered, while Sophie and Kenta shook their heads, but Gingka didn't see it. "Then let's go!" Gingka said, and they all walked off.

Sophie Confession: I don't know why Madoka and her friends even follow Gingka around anymore. He's just getting bossier and bossier, but still being nice. And Madoka? You can do better than him, trust me.

Reward/Immunity Challenge

"Welcome, bladers, to the 7th Challenge!" Blader DJ said. "But first, I believe some of you have been waiting for something." Blader DJ said, paint in hand. Gingka and Madoka put smiles on their faces. "Hold out your blades!" Blader DJ said. The bladers did as they were told. Blader DJ walked up to Sophie first, and took her bey. He tossed it around a bit before he threw the paint can behind his back! "Now you can put them back in your holsters." Blader DJ said. Most of the bladers on the Blue Team had bewildered looks on their faces as they put their beys back in the holsters. "We aren't having a merge today!" Blader DJ said. "It will be another team race, this time a one-by-one race. You will each have to go through the obstacle course, one at a time. When the person in front of you finishes, you can start. The first person to have four of their bladers through the course wins immunity, and a helicopter ride! With food!" Blader DJ explained. Most of them were still thinking about the fake merge, though the ones that had guessed correctly cheered. "Blue Team, you have two more players than the Red Team, so you'll have to sit two people out." Kenta and Yuu raised their hands. "Alright, you two come sit by me. Everyone else, go stand at the starting line." Everyone did as they were told, and Blader DJ explained the rest of the course. "First, you will go through a hay stack. Then, climb up a rope and slide back down. Then you must avoid giant swinging foam balls. Then you must swim for 50 feet without coming up for a breath."

Gingka Confession: -CENSOR-! I CAN'T SWIM!

"Then you finish by climbing two 10 foot tall wire fences. Survivors Ready? Go!" The host said, and they were off. It was Sophie versus Tsubasa first, and they both got through the first two obstacles with ease, but it was the giant foam balls that caught Sophie off guard, and it sent her flying into the mud below. "Sophie has a bad wipeout." Blader DJ said. Tsubasa finished the balls and went onto the swim, joined by Sophie when he was halfway through. Tsubasa was an excellent underwater swimmer, and finished quickly. Sophie was just behind him as they both started to climb the fence. Sophie was a faster climber than Tsubasa though, and she crossed the finish line just as Tsubasa got to the top of the 2nd fence. "Mei-mei go! You too Dashan." Blader DJ said. They both took off. They both got through the hay stack easily, but Dashan had a hard time climbing, and he lost some ground there. Mei-mei crossed through the swinging foam balls easily, but Dashan failed again, and was sent flying into the mud. Mei-mei started on the swim, and she wasn't a fast swimmer. But she made it through anyway, because Dashan had gotten hit again on the foam balls, and he had to start again. Mei-mei, being the awesome kung-fu genius that she is, almost ran up the fence, jumped off, and then did it again. Dashan was still on the balls. "Gingka, go!" Blader DJ said. Gingka ran off, jumped over the hay stack, and jumped on the rope. He climbed quickly, and got to the top. He jumped off and ran to the foam balls, where Dashan was still having trouble. Gingka quickly ran through them, much to the dismay of Dashan, but stopped dead at the water. He gulped. He didn't want to let his team down, but he had to do it. So he jumped. And stayed down there. "Um, Gingka?" Blader DJ asked. He got no response. "Gingka!" Blader DJ said. Dashan had finally finished the balls, but noticed Gingka wasn't on the fence yet. He stuck his head under the water and saw the redhead floating. He quickly swam and got him, then swam as fast as he could to the other side. He threw him down on the ground and looked around.

"Does anyone know how to revive him?" he asked. Madoka wished she knew mouth-to-mouth. But, she didn't. "-CENSOR. - Dude, you might want to…" Dashan started.

Blader DJ cut him off. "Got it. Medical!" He screamed, and sure enough, a few nurses came and put him on a truck.

"We'll bring him back once he's ready." The nurse said, and she drove off.

It was silent for a few moments, before Blader DJ talked once again. "Well, I guess we have to finish the challenge." He said. That got their attention.

"WHAT! Madoka said. "WHY? IF HE'S ELIMINATED, I SWEAR TO…"

"Calm down Madoka! Sheesh. Listen, even if he's eliminated, there will be no one to face Hikaru on Redemption Island next. Unless one of you just wants to quit." No one wanted to quit. "Alright then. Someone will start where Gingka left off, and Dashan will start at the fences. Go." He said. Madoka dived into the water, and swam quickly after Dashan. But she was disappointed by Gingka, and she seemed to be disturbed by his absence. She didn't try her hardest, and Dashan had already finished the fences, and Ryuga had caught up to her. They both finished at the same time, and the last two went. "Kyouya and Sophie, go!" Blader DJ said. Sophie seemed confused at hearing her name a second time.

"Fine." She said, and ran after Kyouya, she caught up with him at the foam balls, and they both wiped out. But Kyouya got back up first and past the obstacle. He swam quickly, and started to scale the first fence. Sophie was halfway through the swim, but she was tiring. Kyouya finished the second wall when she started the first, and he crossed the finish line. "Red Team wins immunity and a helicopter ride!" Blader DJ announced. Blue Team had a mixture of anger, sadness, and frustration across their faces. Red Team got on the helicopter. "Blue Team, I will see you tomorrow night. Good luck." Blader DJ said, then got on the helicopter with the Red Team and took off.

The Blue Team was silent on the way back, wondering about Gingka.

In a Medical Tent, on the other side of the island...

"Where… Where am I?" Gingka asked. He looked around at his surroundings. He was definitely not in the Blue Team Camp, that's for sure. He tried to sit up, but his right arm wouldn't move. A nurse came in.

"Gingka, I'm afraid…

Blue Team Camp – Night 23

"Well, we have to vote someone off." Madoka said. She was the most cut down by Gingka's near drowning.

"Look, I'm going to say this once." Sophie said. "I don't want to eliminate any of you. I knew that there wouldn't be a merge today, but I didn't want to hurt you guys. So, I'm offering to vote myself off." The blue-haired girl said. Everyone thought it over. It was big of her to do something like this.

Sophie Confession: They actually think I'd vote myself off? I already told Kenta my plan, and if I can get one more person on board, then lover girl over here is gone. Done. Kaput.

"Well, I… Gingka!" Madoka screamed. Gingka had in fact come through the woods. He wore a cast on his right arm and his red hair was slicked back for once.

"Hey guys." Gingka said feebly. Madoka ran over and hugged him fiercely. "Guys, I… I won't be able to play anymore." The redhead said. They all stared at him with their mouths open.

"Why?" Yuu asked. "Is it because of your cast thingy?" The boy said. Gingka nodded.

"The shock of my fear and almost drowning caused my arm to kind of, well… shut down. It's going to take a couple of months to get it to come back. The game will be over by then, so…"

"Skip it Gingka. If you're going, I'm going with you." Madoka said. The others stared at her too.

"Madoka! Why? You're our strongest mental player. The Red Team is all muscle right now. If you go, then we'll need Hikaru." Sophie said. Madoka shook her head.

"You don't need me. If Gingka goes without me, I won't be worth a thing. Trust me; it will all be better this way. For everyone." Madoka replied. They all sighed.

Kenta Confession: Man, I hate to see Gingka go, but, if his arm isn't working right now… All I can say is, he better get Pegasus back.

"Okay Madoka." Kenta said, his eyes shut tight. "I'll vote for you." He said. The girl smiled.

"Me too." Yuu said. The other girls were a bit more reluctant, but they gave in as well. "Alright, let's go find Blader DJ.

Tribal Temple – Night 24

"Well, you all voted for one person." Blader DJ said. "Madoka, it's your turn to go, but before you go, I have one question. You obviously want to be with Gingka, but when you vote yourself out, you go to Redemption Island, not home with Gingka. So, you can forfeit your right to be in the game totally, or you can go home with Gingka. Your choice." He said. Madoka thought for a moment, before whispering something in the host's ear. Blader DJ smiled and announced out loud, "Madoka, you will now go home with Gingka!" He said. Madoka smiled and walked to the Walk of Shame, where Gingka was waiting for her. He took her hand and walked onto the boat that would take her home. They both smiled on the way out.

Next time, on Survivor: Beyblade Style!

Gingka had barely missed an eating challenge…

Yuu and Mei-mei squared up to the table to eat the grossest thing they've ever eaten…

And will the tribes finally be merged? Find out next time, on Survivor: Beyblade Style!

A/N: Well, I finally finished this chapter. I kept getting sidetracked every time I tried to finish it, so I ended up making it a short chapter. I will try my hardest to make the next chapter a long one, but my brother's b-day is today, so I'll update tomorrow. Bye, and don't forget that poll!
