AN: Bold means confessional
After the contestants did their first confessional they met up with Izanami back at the campfire they were summoned. But the area that changed as there were now to diving tanks with eels and keys in it. "What the what?!," Makoto asked mirroring the others surprise, "we were only gone for a few minutes, how the heck did this get set up so fast?!" "A host never reveals her secrets." Izanami said walking over holding a clipboard. "Follow up question then," Jin asked with a slight glare, "why did you set these up again?" "That shall be explained in a minute," Izanami assured him, "but first, it's time to assign teams. Now, if I call your name stand besides the tank on the left. Range, Noel, Carl, Jin, Jubei, Relius, Nu, Nine, Rachel, Luna and Tsubaki." "WHAT?!" everyone shouted over this team discision. "Save it for the confessional" Izanami told the protesting contestants.
Ragna Confessional:
"Seriously?! The Rabbit, Jin AND Nu?! Are you fucking kidding me?! Okay.. breathe... at least I'm not on Terumi's team... at least."
Jin Confessional:
"Pros, I'm on Nii-sans and Tsubaki's team. Cons, I'm on the trash's and her Yandere sisters team. So... I'm very mixed on this."
Noel Confessional:
"Umm... sorry Tsubaki and Nu but... I don't want to be on Major Kisaragi's team! I want to have fun here, not constantly be berated 24/7!"
Rachel Confessional:
"Hmph! As much as I appreciated not being put on Terumi's team, everything else about this situation is truly dreadful. *sigh* If only I had Nago and Gii, I need a stress toy right now"
Carl Confessional:
"Father?! FATHER?! I swear to god if ms Izanami put us on the same team on purpose I am going to strangle her!"
Nu Confessional:
Yay! Nu's on Ragna's team! Yippee! And Nu gets Noel as a bonus! Best day ever!"
Relius Confessional:
"I can't believe this... why the hell did I have to end up on my disappointment of a son's team? I am not okay with this"
Jubei Confessional:
"Eh, I'm okay with this. While being with Relius sucks, I get to be on the same team as my wife and Ragna so this ain't that bad an arrangement."
Nine Confessional:
"I don't have to put up with Terumi and get to be on Jubei's team. Yeah I'm more than okay with this."
Tsubaki Confessional:
"Okay, so I'm on Jin's and two of the Six Heroes teams, as well not having to put up with Terumi. Okay, I like this arrangement."
Luna Confessional:
"Yay! Luna get to be on Master Jubei's team! Sure, Luna also has to put up with Pedo-Edge, but eh, can't win them all."
"Alright, that's the first team taken care of," Izanami said to herself while looking at the team behind her with their still mixed reaction to being on the same team, "now, everyone that's left, Naoto, Kagura, Hibiki, Makoto, Es, Kokonoe, Lambda, Tao, Bang, Litchi and Terumi-" "Seriously?! Terumi?!" everyone minus a certain troll exclaimed. "I'm not that bad, am I?" Terumi with a innocent smile. "You're not that bad," Kagura said, "you're WORSE than that bad." "Again," Izanami interjected, "save it for the confessional."
Naoto Confessional:
"I'm actually pretty happy about this. This way I don't have to be on Ragna's team and I can stand out more. Although the reaction to Terumi on our team is making me a bit nervous."
Lambda Confessional:
"I would be fine with this, if I wasn't on Terumi's team. That man killed me once and hurt countless others. He needs to go home as soon as possible."
Kagura Confessional;
"I am not okay with this. Why. A, Terumi is on our team, B, Makoto is here meaning I'll get punched in THAT area multiple times, C, Bang is on our team meaning I'll have to but up with his yelling, and D, Kokonoe is on our team and she's automatic kill-joy. Honestly the only upside is having Hibiki on our team, and he's probably going the only reason I'm going to make it through this."
Kokonoe Confessional:
"I'm on Terumi's team? ARE YOU FUCKING KIDDING ME!" *tries to claw the camera then gets dragged out by Hakumen*
Makoto Confessional:
"Seriously?! Noel gets her sister and Tsubaki and I get Terumi and Kagura! That's totally unfair! Well, I can counter troll Terumi and I like punching Kagura in the balls, so I guess it's good thing I'm on their team. Keep them in check, y'know."
Hibiki Confessional:
"I'm on Lord Kagura's team so I can supervise him, so that's all I care about. For the moment anyway. Being on Yuki Terumi's team could get on my nerves very quickly."
Es Confessional:
"Terumi is a troll. An annoying one. That's all I have to say."
Bang Confessional:
"I cannot believe this. Who in the world thought it would be a good idea to bring Terumi here then put him on our team!"
Tao Confessional:
"Meow? Where's the camera? Tao wants to complain about Green Guy, meow."
Litchi Confessional:
*sigh* "This is going to be a long show"
Terumi Confessional:
"As much as I'm glad I managed to make everyone groan for being on their team, this arrangement could be a problem. Rags, the rabbit, Jinny and Noelers are on the other team and there's no point of insulting Koko-Puffs because of her crazy mind experiments, so now I'll have to find a new trolling target." *starts reading a list*
"There," Izanami said once everyone has shut up about their teams, "now that's settled, it's time for the first challenge." "Hmph! About time" Jin huffed at the death goddess. "As I was saying," Izanami continued, "the first challenge is going to be diving as you can tell. However the objective is different." With that Hakumen drags in two wheel barrels. "Umm...," Tsubaki asked, "why do we need those?" "I was getting to that Yayoi," Izanami continued, "now, the rules of this challenge are simple. One member of each team will drive a wheelbarrow why the rest dive in the tank. The divers goal is to grab a key then get in the wheelbarrow. Also, a diver cannot leave the tank until they grab a key. After that," she points to a big dorm room in the distance, "the wheelbarrow driver will then drive the diver to the dorm building. Once they get there the diver will put the key into the lock and see if it opens the dorm building. If it dose, congratulations, your team wins, if not, get back in the wheelbarrow, head back here then the next diver takes their turn. The winners not only gain immunity from elimination tonight, but they also get to pick which dorm their team occupies for the show. Any questions? No? Good, now, each team gets two minutes to decide their driver. Ready set GO!"
"So," Noel asks to her team, "who's driving?" "Nu wants to drive!" Nu says. "No way!," Luna interjects, "Luna wants to drive." "You'll screw it up," Jin huffs, "I'll drive." "I believe it is best if I take the wheel on this-" Rachel interjected before getting interrupted. "For fuck sake I'll drive!" Ragna said in frustration and heading over to the wheelbarrow before anyone could say no.
Ragna confessional:
"What was I supposed to do?! They were getting on my nerves fast and we only had two minutes."
Rachel Confessional:
*giggles* "I didn't actually want do drive. I just knew that that last push would get Ragna to snap and drive himself."
"Okay," Kagura said to his team, "so, who want's to-" "I'll drive" Naoto said bluntly. "Um...," Litchi asks slightly concerned, "are you sure about that?" "Positive," Naoto replies, "I'm fast and pretty strong. I'll be good at doing this." "If new guys sure, that's good by Tao, meow!" Tao says cheerfully as Naoto heads over the wheelbarrow.
Naoto Confessional:
"This is perfect! If I do a good job here I'll be off to a good start here! Thankfully I can do good driving so even if we do loose I should be safe. But still, I'm not letting anyone down here!"
Kagura Confessional;
"I'll give the new guy this much at least, he seems pretty eager."
Hibiki Confessional:
"I just heard Naoto-sans confessional and I'm a bit curious about him. I think I'll keep an eye on him for the time being."
After that, everyone minus the drivers changed into their swimsuits then got on top of their tanks ready to dive. "Now," Izanami said holding a whistle and who's changed into a cute referee outfit, "begin, in three, two, one, GO!" With that she blows her whistle and Noel and Es dived into the tank and started searching the tank.
Noel Confessional:
"We drawed straws to pick the diving order and I just happened to get picked first. Nothing more to it."
Es Confessional:
"I am not sure why my team asked me to go first. Well, what's don has been done."
While the two were in the tank, Noel was trying to avoid the eels while Es kept a straight face then grabbed a key than jumped out then casually walked into the wheelbarrow. "Drive" Es told Naoto plainly. "Okay..." Naoto replied then ran with the wheelbarrow. Meanwhile- "Gah!," Noel swam to the top with a key and shaking off a eel, "got one!" "Good!," Ragna said, helping her get in the wheelbarrow, "now let's get going!" With that the two ran off after the other team.
With Naoto and Es:
"I must ask," Es asked Naoto when he was running, "why were you so eager to volunteer for the wheelbarrow." "Because I can handle it," Naoto replied while keeping the pace, "I'm strong and fast. I'm going to get everyone to the house quickly. You just have to worry about finding the key and getting in." "Understood" Es says.
With Noel and Ragna:
"Are you holding up okay Ragna?" Noel asked Ragna while he was running to catch up. "I'm fine" he replied. "Okay," Noel said, "I was just wondering because you were sounding frustrated earlier." "That's only because the others were starting to piss me off with their arguing," Ragna told her, "don't worry about me, just focus on helping the others win." "Right!" Noel replied
Noel Confessional:
"I'm really glad Ragna's in it for us to win. I just hope the others have the same attitude."
Ragna Confessional:
"For any shippers that are listening, no. Me and Noel are NOT a thing! Capeche!"
At the Dorm Building:
The first pair to arrive was Naoto and Es, but Ragna and Noel were right behind them. "I'll get out here" Es said getting out once she's close enough to the door then ran to it. "M Me too!" Noel said then got out and running after Es. The two ran for the door, but Es got there first and tried her key. "Damnit.." Es muttered when it didn't work. "No luck with mine either!" Noel said after trying her key. "Then get back in!" Ragna said helping Noel in the wheelbarrow and drove back while Es and Naoto were doing the same.
Naoto Confessional:
"Okay, I still think we can win this, but-" *facepalms* "why didn't I think this would take multiple runs?"
Back at the Tank:
"Whoever's next, dive!" the two edge lords say as Es and Noel get out. "Got it Nii-san!" Jin said as he dived in. "I shall prevail!" Bang exclaims as he dives in as well... only for him and Jin to get ejected from the tank via eel shock before going back in.
Jin Confessional:
"Okay... I wasn't expecting that... but I can't let Nii-san down!"
Bang confessional:
"Haha! It will take more than a few eels to keep me down!"
Naoto and Bang:
"Hey Bang?," Naoto asks gong a bit slower than last time, "no offence but, what did you have for breakfast?" "Wait," Bang said recognising where this is going, "are you saying I'm overweight?!" "N No!," Naoto said realising he offended him, "I'm just saying you're harder to push than Es!" "Oh! My mistake then!," Bang said laughing it off, "forward march!" "Sure thing" Naoto said sounding relived and keeping the pace.
Naoto Confessional:
*phew* "That was a close one. I was worried I was going to offend him"
Ragna and Jin:
The two were heading towards the dorm house... or more like Jin was half sitting-half hugging Ragna who was pushing the wheelbarrow Jin was in. "Jin..." Ragna asked sounding mildly miffed. "Yes Nii-san?" Jin asked innocently. "We're almost at the dorm house," Ragna continued, "so, do you mind, I don't know...stop hugging me!" "Sorry Nii-san!," Jin said letting go, "it was just much more comfortable hugging you." "Yeah, yeah, whatever" Ragna huffed and kept running
Jin Confessional:
"Even if he's won't admit it, Nii-san liked that"
Ragna Confessional:
*face-palming*"Jesus Christ what a fucking moron..."
At the Dorm Building:
"I'll get it in first Nii-san!" Jin said jumping out of the wheelbarrow and running to the door. "I shall not loose to you Jin Kisaragi!" Bang shouted and ran after Jin, these actions making Ragna face-palm and Naoto anime sweat drop. Meanwhile the major and ninja were kicking and pushing to get to the door first. After a minute of this, Bang made it to the door first. "Yes!" Bang celebrated then inserted the key into the lock, "damnit! It does not work!" "Out of my way loudmouth!," Jin said shoving Bang down the stairs then tried his key, "fuck! Doesn't work! Let's head back!" With that, Jin, followed quickly by Bang, got into there respective wheelbarrows then they head back.
Bang Confessional:
"I may have not selected the right key, but at the very least I can say I beat Jin to the door!"
Back at the Tank:
"Dive!" the four people who arrived back shouted. "Okie dokie!" Nu cheered before diving in. "Understood." Hibiki said before following suit.
Nu Confessional:
"Nu saw Jin clinging onto Ragna, so this time Nu's going to get VERY close to him this time!"
Hibiki Confessional:
"Hmm... might as well use this as an excuse to talk to Naoto-san"
Once the confessional ended, it faded back into the contest where the two came out of the tanks then jumping into their wheelbarrow before heading off.
Naoto and Hibiki:
"If you don't mind Naoto-san," Hibiki asks, "but can I ask you something?" "Sure, hit me" Naoto replied. "I was just wondering," Hibiki asked him, "where are you from? I ask because from what I can get from your personality I have a feeling I would have seen you getting involved in conflicts, but this is the first time I've heard about you properly." "Well...," Naoto replied sounding a bit nervous, "um... I'd rather not talk about it." "...Of course." Hibiki said clearly sounding sceptical.
Naoto Confessional:
"What was I supposed to do?! Tell him I'm from some kind of alternate dimension!"
Hibiki Confessional:
"... He's hiding something. I'd better keep my eye on him"
Ragna and Nu:
"And just when I thought I wouldn't have to deal with any more hugging." Ragna muttered while running and Nu hugging onto him. "Ahh... your comfy Ragna" Nu said sounding happy and sleepy. Range groaned before speaking up. "Nu," he asked her, "we're almost there, please let go of me." "KK" Nu said sounding happy and letting go back in the wheelbarrow.
Nu Confessional:
"That was so much fun! Nu wants to be in that position again!"
At the Dorm Building:
"I'll get out here" Hibiki said getting out and running to the door. "Nu's got this!" Nu cried out flying to the door. The two made it at the same time and they both tried there keys, but- "Nu got the wrong key!" Nu called. "No luck here either." Hibiki said. After that the two got back in the wheelbarrow {or Ragna's arms in Nu's case} then they head back.
Back at the Tank:
"Nu says start diving!" Nu called as the four got back. "Got it! Luna's gonna win!" Luna called back before diving in. "No way! Meow!" Tao protested. "What?!" everyone on her team said. "Why the f**k not!" Kokonoe asks frustrated. "Tao doesn't like water, so Tao's not going to dive. Meow!" But if you don't we'll loose!" Bang basically pleas. "Tao doesn't care scruffy! Tao isn't diving, and that's final, Meow!" "Luna's got one!," Luna cried out as she got out of the tank with a key the jumped in the wheelbarrow, "drive Pedo-Edge!" "Stop calling me that!" Ranga replied before driving off. "Hurry up guys!" Naoto called to his team. "Fine," Litchi said getting an idea, "Tao, if you dive, I'll give you some of my meat buns" This made Tao perk up. "Fine booby lady" Tao told her before reluctantly diving in.
At the dorm building:
Due to there big head start Ragna and Luna made it to the house a few minutes before Tao and Naoto. "Hurry and try the key!" Range said letting Luna out. "Luna's on it!" Luna said hoping out and making it to the door. "Please let this be the right key." Luna silently prayed before trying her key, and... the door opened. "Yes!" the two exclaimed happily. "Luna got the right key!," Izanami let the others know, "meaning her team wins! Losers, I'll see you at elimination tonight" This announcement led to cheers and groans.
Luna Confessional:
"Yes! We won, and it's all thanks to Luna!... Okay maybe Ragna gets some credit, but it was mostly Luna!"
Tao Confessional;
"Meow... is Tao still going to get her meat buns?"
AN: And that's it for the first chapter. Stay tuned to see who goes home first.
