Chapter Four: Testing your might

It was a bright sunny,crisp morning when the Vacuums woke were all rather tired and weary due to last night's experience of seeing their former member Jigglypuff's "rest move" and couldn't sleep. But they all knew that the day had to begin at sometime so they got up, and most people went back to their usual routine that they did everyday. Goroh worked his butt off, Sonic ran about their campsite, Krystal and Zelda chatted, and Wario slept as usual, much to everyone's dismay, as he had a strong body that could really help out the Vacuums if he actually used his strength around the camp once in a while. He almost slept as much as Jigglypuff! Some of the other members tended to talk about him when he was sleeping.

Megaman:"Wario is pretty pathetic around camp man, why is he here?" Megaman said rather confused.

Goroh:"Because he could be phenomanal in strength challenges"

Goroh decided to bounce back from his loss to Falcon and vowed to defeat him in the future.

Krystal spoke quickly after she heard Goroh say this.

Krystal:"What about his skills in intulectual challenges?"

Goroh had no response to this, but 5 mins after their conversation, Wario finally woke up from what he sometimes called it "beauty sleep".

Wario: "Here I go!, where's the grub?"

Sadly for the Vacuums, food has been in scarce amounts on the islands and in the seas. In the last few days, they have had only a couple of fruits, Krabbys, and Bloopers which were caught by Goroh himself. But Wario asked this question first almost every morning, which was soon starting to get on their nerves.

Finally, Megaman decided to give to Wario a rather dreary and sarcastic answer.

Megaman:"MMM... I see that no one's jumping at that mossy covered rock in the sand."

Wario did not like the way that Megaman answered his question, so he responded rather snarky.

Wario:"Oh,shut up!"

Wario said angrily as he walked away slowly. He tended to have a bad additude in the morning,which no one appreciated. Well,except Ganondorf.

"Show me ya moves!"

Captain Falcon said persistantly over at the Squadron's camp to a rather irritated Bowser.

Bowser:"No"

Falcon:"Yes!"

Bowser:"No"

Falcon:"Yes!"

Bowser was getting really annoyed now.

Bowser: "How about I roast your pathetic body if you don't stop pestering me?!"

Falcon thought that Bowser was accepting his challenge.

Falcon: "Come on!"

He then jumped on Bowser and tried to attack him, but Bowser soon roared and started biting at him, warning him to back off. stooped for a moment, then ran off to find some more competition. Challenges to was his favorite part of the game.

Almost everyone at the Squadrons camp was occupied. Bowser was making a fire with his breath, careful not to burn down the island, Captain Falcon was trying to find someone to challenge, Marth and Link were sword fighting and Fox,DK Junior,and ZSS were collecting food. Snake on the other hand, was trying to improve and Watch's juggling performance. He was trying to get along with him, but most of the time it was mostly just Snake yelling to the confused and Watch.

Snake: "No no no, you can juggle better than that, don't doubt my high I.Q level!" Here, watch how I can juggle.

Snake, not wanting to accept the truth that Game and Watch could juggle better than him, tried to juggle the best he could. He pick up a couple of rocks and tossed them around, with a couple of rocks pelting him in the head. Soon after his rather underwealming performance, Mr. Game and Watch used his judgement move to give him a score. Mr. Game and Watch gave Snake's performance a 2, which made Snake go insane.

Snake: "Why you little 2d freak, take this!"

Before Game and Watch could react, Snake tackled him into the water, and surprisingly, Snake flew back after Game and Watch sent him flying back onto the shore with a headbutt attack from his scuba helmet. Unfortuantely for the camp, Game and Watch's helmet flew off into the water and hit the bottom of the lake. Game and Watch was rather frightened without his helmet because he had rather liked it, so he did what knew even better than juggling: he started beeping.

The rest of the Squadrons were running towards the commotion and couldn't stand Game and Watch's beeping.

Fox: "Nice going, brainiac!"

When Mewtwo talked, he talked telepathically.

Mewtwo: "Imbusile!"

Snake decided to end all the negative responses to him by shouting out his plan over Game and Watch's constant beeping.

Snake: "OK, I'M GOING TO GRAB THE HELMET, TO STUP THIS 2D FREAK THE HELL UP! SO EVERYONE JUST CALM DOWN!"

Without further words, Snake dived into the lake to retrieve the helmet. His search was short, as he saw it lying in a small dark hole, but he had to avoid the Urchin's near it. So slowly and steadly, he took out his survival knife and slashed at them. When they all cleared, he went for the helmet, but saw a rather large buck tooth fish staring him straight in the eyes: A Cheep-Cheep! By this time,Snake needed to take a breath , so he scooped up the helmet, and swam back up. A long breath was taken Snake, and he tossed the helment back on land and Bowser quickly shoved the helmet on Game and Watch's head to stop his beeping.

Snake: "Ok, i'm coming back ashore n-"

Snake's word's were cut short as the giant Cheep-Cheep pulled Snake down with it's large buck teeth. Snake was slashing the fish, but that didn't work he wrestling with the Cheep-Cheep more, and remembered the grenades he had in his bag, so when his head was above water again,he yelled out to his teammates.

Snake: "One of you, get me a grenade from my bag!"

ZSS rushed to get one and opened up his bag, which had grenades, mines, and some unmentionable stuff. Once she hoisted a grenade from his bag, she was going to toss it to him, but Mewtwo thought quicker. He telekenetically took the grenade from ZSS, and launched it in the fish's mouth. Snake dived out of the way as the Cheep-Cheep exploded and fish bits went send flying everywhere. Soon, Snake was swimming back to shore,very tired indeed which made him swim very slowly of the sudden though, he saw Game and Watch jump into the water and Snake thought to himself as he was swimming that maybe Game and Watch isn't so bad afterall, because what Snake thought is that Game and Watch was coming to help him back to shore. Instead, he swam right past Snake, and grabbed a turtle that he saw swimming by.

"Thanks for the help" Snake muttered.

When Snake finally got back on the shore (no thanks to Game and Watch), he helped collect the pieces of fish that were lying on the beach, and put them in a container so that they could eat them later on. Snake was exhausted.

Snake: "*huff* I'm going to slee-."

Snake was cut off once again as he heard the sound of a droning engine in the distance which was none other than Stanley.

Stanley: "Come on chumps, chop chop, we've got a challenge to go to!"

Falcon: "YEAAAAAAH!"

With a rather weary leader participating in today's challenge, victory may be slightly harder for the Squadron's to pull off.

After their 10 minute boatride with Stanley, the other team came riding in style: on Pidgeys! The Squadrons were laughing at them, but these Pidgeys were actually rather strong, as they refused to evolve and are the strongest Pidgeys of their type, Pokemon Trainer caught them himself.

But Stanley knew some rules about Pokemon Trainers and asked PT a question:

Stanley: "Aren't Pokemon trainer's only allowed to have 6 pokemons at a time?"

Pokemon Trainer responded by whistling.

Stanley: "I guess that will be left a mystery... Anyways, today's challenge, A good old strength (and some intelligence) Challenge!

On his command, a giant square surface rised out of the water, with a pillar at each corner of the square. The square had the Holy Blade of Ragnell on it, as well as a few other weapons like blasters and fire flowers on it. Everyone stared at the designs in awe, well except Ganondorf who scoffed at it.

Stanley: "This challenge is pretty simple, all's you have to do is push the other person itnto the water by any means possible. There can be up to 3 people in the ring, but it will be only 2 people in the ring the majority of the time. Since I want to show off my physique, i'm going to give you a visual demo.

Stanley then hopped into the ring and called out Pokemon Trainer.

Stanley: "Come on, Trainer, show me some power!

Pokemon Trainer sighed and stepped into ring, summoned Charizard, and Charizard knocked him into the cold water within 5 laughed at Stanley, which angered him, so he tried to prevoke Pokemon Trainer.

Stanley: "What's the matter, can't beat me without your precious critters!?

Pokemon Trainer sighed again as he put the pokeballs he had on the sidelines, and as Stanley charged at him, Pokemon Trainer grabbed him, tossed him, and performed a series of judo chops, and sweep kicks before launching Stanley into the water once again, Stanley never stood a chance as everyone cheered for Pokemon Trainer, except Gannondorf once again.

Stanley: "Just, just start the competition and draw the names out of the Toad mushroom retainer hat, ok? Stupid beginner's luck...

After that was done, Stanley announced the first battle.

Stanley: First battle: "Yoshi vs DK Junior, ready...go!

DK Junior and Yoshi both charged at eachother, but Yoshi won the charge battle because he attacked DK Junior in his egg form. This threw DK Junior off his feet slightly, but he slugged Yoshi across the face with a punch that made Yoshi almost touch the water. As Dk Junior came to finish off Yoshi, Yoshi thought strategically. He ate the incoming Donkey Kong Junior, turned him into an egg, and Donkey kong Junior fell helplessly into the water, thus scoring one point for the vacuums.

Stanley: Next match: "Fawful vs Fox

Fawful started the match by yelling to Fox in a maniacle voice

Fawful:"Fink rat!

Fox returned the favor by taunting Fawful with one of his own taunts. Luckily for Fox though, Fawful was more easily enraged.

Fox:"Come on!

This made Fawful fire a flurry of fireballs out of his helmet at Fox, but he used his reflector to easily reflect the fireballs, and one of them made his helmet fly off to the edge of the arena.

Fawful: "Stench rabbit!

As Fawful went to retrieve his helmet, Fox was shooting him down with his laser gun, which reduced Fawful into a crawling state, avoiding most of the lasers as he went to his helmet. But Fox was not going to let Fawful have the chance to attack with his helmet again, so he rushed at Fawful with a Fox Illusion attack, this results in an ultimate flaw for Fox however, as Fawful ducked in fear, and pushed the helmet towards Fox, which made him trip on it, and he went crashing into the water. When Fawful opened his eyes again, Fox was yelling as he swam back to shore.

Fawful:..."Relish mouse

Stanley: "That was rather unexpected, either way, the Vacuums have a two point lead! The third match: Bowser vs Sonic (this should be good)

Sonic instantaneously said to Bowser: "Your too slow! This made Bowser angry, but instead he recoiled with his own taunt, and he started to wobble on one foot, but he fell flat on his face. No one dared to laugh at him (well, except Ganondorf again) but Sonic decided to enrage Bowser again by yelling at him: "Come on, step it up! Sonic then decided to go attack Bowser with a flurry of homing attacks. Bowser was literally being tortured by these attacks which made Bowser tip on the edge of the stage, finally, Bowser got a hold of Sonic, and did a bellyslam into the water with Sonic, and Sonic touched the water first, thus making Bowser the winner of the match.

Stanley: Wow, Bowser was actually strategic, ha! Fourth match: Mewtwo vs Wario

Wario hopped on to his chopped and started the match rather quickly. Mewtwo scoffed at Wario and held Wario up with telekenesis. Wario's Chopper was also held up in the air and turned into a pile of scrap within a few seconds. Wario was receiving a severe beating as Mewtwo slammed him into pillars, tossed him on the floor, and scoffed at the beaten Wario. All of the sudden though, as Mewtwo slammed Wario against another pillar, Wario bounced off a pillar, and launced himself at Mewtwo and latched on to his face and started gnawing on it like there was no tommorow. This sicken Mewtwo, but he easily dealed with the problem by launching a shadow ball down Wario's throat. This made Wario fly out into the water, but Wario was not hurt much because he ate up the majority of the attack. Mewtwo was guffawed at this factor, but he still won the match in the end.

Stanley: "That was almost a one sided match. The Squadrons and Vacuums are tied with 2 points each. 5th match: Megaman vs and Watch

Megaman looked at the 2d man to search for weaknesses, and the only one that he could find was that he was light and easily side tracted. Megaman took these to his advantage and shot a plasma bullet in the distance, which made Game and Watch turn around. Then Megaman fired another bullet at Game and Watch right after the first bullet. Game and Watch didn't have enough time to react, so he was send skidding closer to the water. Megaman was planning to finish this, so he launched a fully charged shot and Game and Watch, but to Megaman's shock, Game and Watch pulled out a bucket and it absorbed the projectile. Close combat is in order now, he thought to himself. A rushing dive was made at Game and Watch which knocked Game and Watch slightly backwards, but Game and Watch used the snapping turtle he found on the beach as a attack*, which did multiple hits on Megaman and made him fly back and he almost hit a pillar. Mr Game and Watch came running rather slowly at Megaman and Megaman bounced off the pillar, and landed behind Game and Watch but before he could react, Game and Watch used Judgement on Megaman. Unfortunately for him though, he landed on a one and hurt himself.

Megaman: "Ha, you can do better than that! Man oh man...

Megaman's wish was soon granted as before he knew it, he was sent flying into the water by Game and Watch's judgement move, which landed on a 9, one of his ultimate killer moves.

Stanley: "Another win for the Squadrons! 6th match: Luigi vs !

Luigi took a more cautious approach to and Falcon was hammering away punches at Luigi, who was avoid 2/3's of them by rolling while he was launching fireballs at him,which did minor damage. Falcon then performed a Falcon Kick, but Luigi made a swift dodge and grabbed him, then he spun him in circles and tossed him aside near the water. Luigi was then crawling to avoid any surprise attack that Falcon would try to make. This tactic was for not though, as Luigi rolled back when he saw Falcon speed by him, only to roll into a reverse Falcon Punch, which ended the match as Luigi hit the water with a tremendous force.

Stanley: "The score is now 4-2 for the Squadrons. 7th match is Marth vs Samurai Goroh.

In a blink of an eye, Goroh and Marth were already engaged in combat, each already suffering minor wounds. Goroh then made a giant Punch which connected with Marth's gut. Goroh followed up that attack with A mighty slash, but Marth used counter to send the attack back at him, which tossed him off his feet. Goroh never recovered from the counter as Marth's ultimate flurry of attacks bested Goroh and knocked him into the water with a rather powerful kick. Goroh was defeated.

Stanley: "That was an intereting match. 8th match: Snake vs Ganondorf

Snake felt a chill in his body when he saw Ganondorf. He placed a c4 on the ground and tossed grenades at him, which he crunched in his hands to dust. Snake then tried to pull out his rocket launcher and launched rockets at Ganondorf, and a couple of bullets hit their mark. Ganondorf didn't care though as he charged at Snake with a wizard's foot attack, which stopped right on Snake's C4, so that send Ganondorf back a bit. Snake then did a rolling attack towards Ganondorf, but he didn't attack quick enough to stop Ganondorf from letting loose a Warlock punch on Snake, which abrubtly ended the match as Snake hit a tree in the distance, and once again having to swim back to the spectator's seat where he was already in a dreary state.

Stanley: "The Vacuum's make the score 4-3. 9th match: Krystal vs Zero Suit Samus!

After that match, with ZSS being the victor, the 10th match occured with Pikachu and Zelda, with Pikachu winning that match.

Stanley: "Ok, it's tied for both teams, the 11th final match, Meta Knight vs Link, this is for the win, ready, go!

When the match started, they both went full out at eachother, and they were both evenly matched. Link's and Meta Knight's sword were also evenly matched. Meta Knight then made a teleportation attack, which surprised Link and sent him off his feet, then Meta Knight sucked him up in a tornado attack, and made a large swooping attack which sent Link just inches from touching the water, but as Meta Knight was going to finish her off, he launched his staff at Meta Knight, and knocked off his mask. Link was the only one who saw his face, and Meta Knight was crouched over covering his face. He had a decision to make: Have people look upon his face by finishing off Link, or retrieve his mask that plummeted into the water? Meta Knight made his decision. With a quick throw, he tossed his weapon at Link, then headed towards the water, hoping that the sword would knock him in the water, but instead Link caught it, and tossed it back at Meta Knight while his back was turned. This knocked Meta Knight into the water face first and he lost the match, but he at least got his mask back!

Stanley: "That wraps it up, the Squadrons win, the Squadrons win!

The Vacuums were depressed, for now they would be one member short against the Squadrons now.

As soon as the Vacuums went back to camp, a another elimination had to be made. This time though, Meta Knight was added to the group, although he didn't say too much.

Zelda: "Look at the people on the island, he was almost voted out last time, so let's finish him off and vote out Ganondorf.

Luigi: "That sounds like a good idea, Your input Fawful?

Fawful: "That horrid manure bar Wario has an infuriating stench, I hate it, let's take him out.

Meta Knight finally spoke, but he spoke little words.

Meta Knight: Yoshi.

Sonic: "Bat dude, the green lizard has no beef with us, he can stay for now!

Goroh: "Ganondorf can be a threat later on though, shouldn't we eliminate him now before it's too late?

Krystal: "Ganondorf people, he NEEDS to go, for all we know, he'll probably kill one of us later on and he definitely disrupts our team's teamwork. Everyone: Take him out.

Everyone thoroughly agreed, but Ganondorf had his own plans. With a few people he found around the camp, like Wario and Megaman, were forced by fear by Ganondorf,so they had to vote for who he wanted gone: Goroh. Ganondorf approached Meta Knight shortly before departing.

Ganondorf: My friend and closest ally Meta Knight. Care to join me in voting out Goroh?

Meta Knight was now conflicted in who to vote out. Stay with Ganondorf and vote out Goroh, or join his new group and vote Ganondorf out? Meta Knight knew he was slowly failing the social aspect of the game, so he had to think of what would be best for him.

Meta Knight: Maybe.

Ganondorf: Oh I got Wario, Megaman, Yoshi...right?

Megaman and Wario shook a little behind him in fear. Yoshi snorted.

Ganondorf: Exactly. Would you like to end that samurai's reign on here? I have no use for people on this island who do not...fear me.

Meta Knight: Fine.

Ganondorf: Good. Because if you're lying...I'll know. I'm off to grab some more recruits. Bad day to you.

Ganondorf and his annexed group walked away. Meta Knight took a moment to think over his decision to eliminate Goroh or Ganondorf.

The Vacuums arrived for a second time at the REJECTANCE ROOM, and noticed a few other portraits of forgotten characters like Mach Rider and Nester.

Stanley: "Ready to vote? Let's go!"

Megaman began to raise his hand.

Megaman: "Isn't there supposed to be a group discussion or something about our camp situation or something man?"

Stanley seemed to sneer at Megaman for bringing this up, but forced a smile as he looked back at the camera behind him, watching his every movement.

Stanley: "Oh yeah, of course, how could I possibly forget? Oh god...um...Yoshi! How do you find this game so far?

Yoshi began to speak up, although no one could actually understand him.

Yoshi: Yoshi! Yoooshi! Yosh! (I honestly cannot stomach most of these simpletons. The only half competant person even on my tribe is...oh...let me get back to you on that one).

Stanley: You love everyone on this team? How cute!

Yoshi: Yoshi! (Bigot!)

Stanley: Next person, Zelda. Is there anyone on this team who you find a major threat?

Zelda: Easy, Ganondorf. He's only looking after himself in this game, why would the king of evil care for anyone else?

Ganondorf began to stand up

Ganondorf: Why you insufferable Hylian!

Stanley urged everyone to sit down

Stanley: Alright enough of that! Let's vote now! Zelda, you first.

The votes were soon cast, although Wario, Megaman, Yoshi, and Meta Knight took a while with their votes for some peculiar reason. Stanley then picked up the jar, and made an announcement.

Stanley: "Look, i'm tired today, so i'm just going to lay down the votes on the table, whoever has the most votes, is out of here.

Stanley then showed them, and layed them out on the table, and the votes were pulled out in this order.

1st:Ganondorf
2nd:Ganondorf
3rd:Goroh
4th:Wario
5th:Goroh
6th:Goroh
7th:Goroh
8th:Ganondorf
9th:Ganondorf
10th:Ganondorf
11th:Ganondorf

Stanley pointed to the cannon.

Stanley: "See ya king of evil, we hardly knew ya!

But Ganondorf was furious. He grab Meta Knight by the wings and held him up high.

Ganondorf: I know my group was accounted for. You do realize your failure to vote with the group incites my wrath, do you?

Meta Knight: Explain.

Ganondorf pointed to the vote on the table with a miniture Meta Knight mask that replaced one of the O's in Ganondorf's name.

Meta Knight: Foolish.

Sonic then pointed a finger at Meta Knight.

Sonic: "I thought you were with us! Aren't you?"

A commotion started to arise, and Ganon refused to leave the game. He dropped Meta Knight and picked up Stanley by the throat; then began to choke him while laughing manically.

Ganondorf: "The king of evil is not leaving this game fourth!"

As Ganondorf was ready to toss Stanley himself into the cannon, Zelda used her Nayru's Love to knock Ganondorf into the cannon himself. Wasting no time, Stanley set the coordinates and send Ganondorf flying. Everyone applauded for Zelda saving them from certain peril.

Stanley: "Well Ganon went in the cannon! Let's hope no one else in this game freaks out like that. Good night everyone!"

The Vacuums went back to their campsite, and Stanley stood there for approximately 5 seconds until fainting in fear.

Zelda: Ganondorf
Luigi: Ganondorf
Sonic: Ganondorf
Goroh: Ganondorf
Krystal Ganondorf
Fawful: Ganondorf
Wario: Goroh
Megaman: Goroh
Yoshi: Goroh
Ganondorf: Goroh
Meta Knight: Wario

Zelda: Finally! I can sleep at night now!

Yoshi: Yoshi. Yoshi. (May as well humor the Gerudo oaf. He had spunk.)

Meta Knight: Undecided.

Final words, Ganondorf: Oh no! This is not the last of me! King of evil eliminated 4th? I don't think so! I'll be back to kill you all!
