Chapter 2: Egad's, I've been had!
The Vacuums soon set up their camp and Goroh put his muscular body to work to make a shelter and wood for the fire. Sadly, they didn't have a firemaker once they gathered the supplies (since they didn't pick Bowser, who has fire breath). Meanwhile, everyone else either went to make an alliance, explore their campgrounds, or some even slept like the lazy Wario. Zelda soon thought the same as most girls did when they started out: A girl's alliance. With a few words from Krystal in a quiet area of their own, the first alliance was secretly made. Meanwhile, after hours of walking and Snake telling G&W to shut the hell up, the Squadron's new camp was found at the southern end of the island. It was not as big as the other camp, or as nice but it would do good enough for them. Fox knowing Falco better than the other's was anxious to make an alliance with him.
Fox: "Falco! Come here!"
Fox foolishly alerted everyone that he was going to make an alliance with Falco by blurting out his name and asking him to come into the bushes.
Fox: "So, we goooooood for an alliance?"
But Falco was thinking that maybe he wanted to go his own way for once, so he was planning to let Fox THINK he was tight with him, but didn't go out as planned.
Falco: "Well, I don-"
Fox: "Fine! I didn't want an alliance with you anyways!"
As Fox stormed away in anger, not letting Falco even get the chance to speak and letting everyone know what happened.
Falco: "Oh boy…"
Falco decided to go to sleep then, but didn't get the chance as Stanley came onto the scene by boat.
Stanley: "Come now people! Time for the first challenge!"
Falcon was filled with enthusiasm.
Falcon: "Woohoo! Yeah! Show me yo moves guys!" Which earned him some odd glances. Falcon's main reason for even joining this contest was to participate in challenges.
G&W: "Beep!"
Snake: If we lose, I'll take you FIRST, you 2D freak."
G&W was silent for a moment before letting out another beep. After both teams were gathered, they were brought to a rather old, rotting wide area. The support beams were rickity, and the place smelled like a squished Goomba. Dead bug carcasses layed around the house, making some people gag. In short, the area was a disgusting, putrid eyesore.
Bowser: "This place smells worse than my castle! Who would own such a wreak of property?"
Stanley: "Hey, this is my house! Well, it was my house until I got offered this job and now I finally get to leave!"
Falco: "Yeah, but how could you even survive in these conditions beforehand? Gross!"
Stanley's face dropped a bit more.
Stanley: "When you become forgotten by the public and no longer star in any games, you merely become a pointless odd cameo..."
D.K Junior simply though to himself "Preach, brother"
Stanley: Back to the game! Ok now, your first challenge is… An endurance test! You will have to avoid the certain objects in each round as they go faster and faster and some items ricochet off the walls. If you are hit you are out and 4 people will get eliminated each round and whoever has the most team mates left wins! As for the other team? They go to the REJECTENCE ROOM. Don't get hit too hard as we don't have the proper medical care to fix you up so have fun!"
When everyone was lined up in the filled arena, Stanley made the announcement.
Stanley: "The first item in is the red turtle shell!"
He then tossed in 12 turtle shells into the arena. Mewtwo tended to teleport and hover over the shells making it quite easy for him. Krystal was faring well and Luigi was wall jumping, though he never did wall jump as well as his portly plumber brother Mario. Yoshi tried to latch on to a pole with his tongue, but Snake shot Yoshi's tongue with his tranquilizer gun, making Yoshi fall into the pit of turtle shells, eliminating him when he got pelted by an incoming shell to the side. DK Junior was swinging off the hanging pieces of moss on the roof. Marth was rapidly using his counter to shoot them away and Link was bouncing on the tops of the turtle shells. He then performed a risky move in the arena, a spin attack sending them flying everywhere. Although he got the wall jumping Luigi, he also accidentally pelted DK Junior, so he put his shield over his head, turtle shells bouncing off it like arrows. Captain Falcon meanwhile dived down from his position on the ceiling to chuck a shell at Goroh, which he sliced in two and kicked Falcon in the face, lowering his guard and making him get hit by a turtle shell. Jigglypuff also couldn't hold her breath no longer, thus making her fall and got clocked by an incoming shell. As Meta Knight made a glide to the other side of the arena, Bowser pounced on Meta-Knight, taking him and Meta-Knight out and making the Squadrons win that round.
Stanley: "4 out for Vacuums and 3 out for Squadrons, next item, lightning bolt!"
The lightning bolts soon activated and zapped Pikachu almost instantly. Fox and Falco were using their reflectors and the lightning bolts bounced off their reflectors. But after watching Wario get pelted, Wario farted near Fox and that brought Fox's guard down, thus getting zapped by lightning and Falco even smiled when that happened to Fox, but his team mates unfortunately saw him smirk leading to less trust from his team mates. Mega Man's suit malfunctioned due to the lightning and his suit drew in the lightning, zapping him silly. As Fawful moved about in his helmet, lightning zapped his helmet and made him collide with Mewtwo, which got them both at the same time and eliminated them both. G&W then easily turned sideways with his 2D shape and stayed like that, avoiding all the lightning. Samus soon got skewered by lightning as she attempted to sneak up on Ganondorf to push him in lightning, her mistake costing her the win of this round.
Stanley: "There are 7 out for Vacuum's and 7 out for Squadrons, it's even now! Last item, Bob Ombs ."
The Bombs dropped from a hole in the ceiling and Ganondorf's speed failed him as the Bob Ombs took him, not without spotting G&W and taking him out with himself. Zelda meanwhile, who's been doing well tried to throw Marth off guard by flirting with him. It failed and a Bob Omb blasted her. Link's shield was blown to bit's after one too many Bob Ombs and the Bob Ombs unfortunately hit Link, then bounced off a shard of his shield and nailed Falco, eliminating both in one move. It was only Snake and Marth vs. Krystal, Goroh, and Sonic.
Stanley: "Final five? Then lets release all the items!"
All the previous items came onto the scene and Marth nailed a shell so hard with his sword that it hit Sonic square on and brought him down. Snake was about to try to hit Goroh with a tranquilizer, but Krystal saw him pull his gun out, so she brought out her pole and smacked an incoming Bob Omb towards her that hit Snake's gun, and also hit Snake in the explosion. Goroh and Krystal then went up upon the ceiling again and Marth tried to follow, but a lightning bolt skimmed his head, the noise startling him while he fell over and 2 Bob Ombs and a shell hit him in the back.
Stanley: "Team Vacuums win! Wow, that's a shocker…"
Snake didn't mind losing, as he was ready to eliminate G&W.
Stanley: "But your not going back to your camp to plan today, your having the elimination right here!"
Snake: …
Stanley: "Ok, since were not having elimination in the REJECTANCE ROOM, I set up a voting station over there",
He pointed to a funny looking booth that looked like a Bullet Bill.
Stanley: Now the other team can go back now, so be ready to see one less member of their team tomorrow!
After they left, Stanley gave the other team their chance.
Stanley: "Get ready to vote! You go first, Bowser."
So the voting began. After the voting was complete and written on the Star shaped ballets, Stanley pulled out the cup that the votes were contained in.
Stanley: "Ok, whoever gets the most votes will leave the island and be eliminated from the competition. First vote: Falco"
Falco's eyes opened wide.
Stanley: "Next vote Falco, the third vote: Falco and the fourth vote: Falco."
Falco began to sweat nervously.
Stanley: "Fifth: Falco" Falco closed his eyes in defeat, but a new name appeared in handwriting.
Stanley: "G&W."
Falco: "I just may sta-"
Stanley: "Second to leave the island, Falco. Now follow me to the cannon where we will send him back home.
As soon as they all made it to the cannon, Stanley told Falco to get in, and within seconds, Falco was sent through the air, and back to his Arwing ship at home. Everyone watched in awe.
Stanley: "Well, whoever may laugh at him now, you may just go NEXT! So, get some rest and go back to your camp."
They all left silently and Snake's head was down: knowing that he'll have to live with G&W another day.
