Chapter 9: Threats considered.
The Squadrons were seemingly content with their decision, and they all received good sleep that night, but when they woke up a discovery was made, and it was a absolutely wondrous miracle in Snake's eyes, while it brought sorrow to Pikachu; ZSS was no longer bloated or inflated! She was back to normal.
Snake: Booyah, yeaaaah! Woot! Hahaha!
Snake was saying this as he was pumping his arm up and down, while ZSS cocked an eyebrow.
ZSS: Oh... what's with the lack of enthusiasm? ZSS was being sarcastic as Snake abruptly stopped.
Snake: Arn't you happy also? You're a goddess again!
ZSS glared at him.
Snake: N-not that you wern't already! You're beautiful either way!
ZSS: It's OK, I enjoy having my figure back too, but Pikachu isn't happy...
Pikachu looked at her with his eyes all watery as he hopped into her arms.
ZSS: It's fine Pikachu, you'll find another pillow.
Snake: He'll manage.
ZSS: I'm sure he will.
ZSS then smiled and walked away, with no jiggling belly.
Snake: Life. Is good! I can't wait for the next challenge, we'll win it for sure!
Falcon they stood right beside Snake, and shouted at the top of his lungs.
Falcon: YEAHHH! OUR TEAM WILL OWN! RIGHT GUYS!?
The Squadrons joined Falcon in his cheering as they hoped to achieve victory, but then, Bowser was bored, so he remembered Falcon's words a while back when Falcon challenged Bowser, and now Bowser wanted to accept that challenge, so after the crowd cleared out, Bowser approached Falcon.
Bowser: Falcon, I'm ready to accept the challenge you've previously offered me.
Falcon then squealed with delighted, paused for a brief second, then tackled Bowser into the forest. Bowser lunged at Falcon, but Falcon made a swift spotdodge and then slid across the rocky ground with a fiery fist, which knocked Bowser upwards, then Falcon followed up his attack with a knee to Bowser's face, which almost knocked him out cold. Bowser then lifted himself back up, and started to breath fire on Falcon, which made Falcon enraged, but Bowser grabbed Falcon and body slammed him... right into some very brittle ground, which collapsed underneath them. They both plummeted into the hole and were trapped. Falcon yelled with delight, for he was faced with another challenge, while Bowser figured out a way to get out of the pit: by stabbing his claws into the walls of the pit, and climbing upwards. Falcon hoisted himself onto Bowser's back, and as Bowser got out of the pit, something nailed Falcon in the back, and he fell backwards back into the pit. Bowser looked at him and shrugged, then walked away, claiming his assumed victory. Falcon meanwhile, look around puzzled, then heard a voice.
?: What is your name!?
Falcon: Falcon. Captain Falcon! The falconiest...of...all captains!
?: Great! I need another ally in this game.
Falcon stood utterly confused.
?: I'm all alone in here. Playing the ultimate game of stealth!
Falcon: There's other contestants in this game not on the campsite?
?: Sure! Well, just me. They may not realize it but, I'm in this to win!
Falcon: Who are you anyways!?
?: Waluigi time! With my army of Monty moles!
Falcon: Waluigi who? WHY are you living in a hole?
Waluigi: Look, just tell Wario I'm here and don't let anyone else know.
Falcon: Wario is on another tribe friend!
Waluigi:
Dammit! He then punted Falcon out of the hole with his foot, then tapped a part of the hole's wall's with his tennis racket, which opened up a huge underground area, complete with monty moles and a few others creatures too.
Waluigi: I will shine one day!
Once Falcon was out of the hole, he saw most of the Squadrons ganging up on Bowser, asking for the wereabouts of Falcon.
Fox: Where is that insane Falcon?!
Pikachu: Pika pika!
Bowser: I ate him! He replied smuggly.
Falcon then walked onto the scene, and everyone glared at Bowser.
Bowser: Just a friendly joke, huh?
Everyone just walked away, but Stanley stopped them as he came riding valiently on his cheep cheep.
Stanley: Challenge time!
Falcon: Yeah! Feel the heat!
Stanley: Get on a cheep cheep, and let's get moving.
Game and Watch didn't get on a cheep cheep, but instead, he got on his pet turtle Blipp and sailed ahead of the pack.
Snake: Wow... Talented turtle.
As both teams were travelling to there destination, the Squadrons saw a green figure fall from above them, who was none other than Luigi. Luigi fell off his Pigeotto, but fortunately, the cheep cheep that was not used due to Game and Watch riding his turtle, caught Luigi on it's back, and the other team watched him as Luigi smiled shyly, then got the cheep cheep to blast ahead to the assigned location.
As soon as both teams got there, they saw 2 giant golden mushrooms, which made they run at full speed to examine it, and Stanley smiled too.
Stanley: You guys aren't keeping those: Your all gonna carry it through a forest maze!
This made both teams groan, well, except for Falcon.
Stanley: Each team will take a golden mushroom and get it to the finishing point whatever way possible! There will also be diversions along the way to hinder your progress, savy?
Fawful: Pickles sundae! My question is-
Stanley: GO!
The teams hoisted the golden mushroom onto there backs, and charged into the forest. When they got in the forest though, it was a complete maze, so they just wandered around trying to find there way. As the Vacuums took another wrong turn, a goomba strolled onto the path, and Yoshi tripped over it, which slowed down the team even more. This didn't stop Goroh though, as he picked up the giant mushroom again, and could almost carry it by himself. This made the other teammates ponder his level of threat.
Luigi: See Krystal? He's a major threat! He's almost stronger than half of the entire team, and has speed to boot! If we don't get him out before an inevitable merge...it may be too late.
Krystal: ...He does
Meanwhile, Zelda upset that Link was gone, and Yoshi was trying to console her. Or not.
Yoshi: Yoshi... Yoshi yoshi! (Sucks about your boyfriend there, chump! Ha ha!)
Luigi: Yoshi says he saw the other team ahead of us, let's move it!
Yoshi: Yoshi. (...bullshit.)
Goroh then picked up the pace and the Vacuums were now on par with the Squadrons mostly thanks to Goroh. The Squadrons then went through a large squad of Goombas, and they had to hop on then to eliminate all them. By now the Vacuums were a large amount ahead of the Squadrons, and more than halfway through the maze. On the Squadrons team, Pikachu tired out and wasn't helping carry the golden mushroom anymore. Instead, he was sleeping on ZSS's shoulder, which annoyed Snake. The Vacuum's then had a large distraction approach them: Bowser Junior was swinging from the tree' and tossing various thing at the Vacuums. Bowser JR wouldn't toss anything at the Squadrons though, as his dad was on that team, which he said hi to.
Bowser Jr: Hey paps! I'm messing around with the other teams, are you proud?
Bowser: Yes son, yes I am. More proud of you than those other 7 foster children I have. Keep harrasing them.
Bowser Jr: OK!
Bowser Jr then used his paintbrush to trip the entire team, and the Squadrons had a very large lead now, and were 2/4 done the maze.
Luigi: Please, please someone help a us out!
Luigi's prayers were answered somewhat differently, for the Squadrons saw a princess dressed in yellow with brunette hair, and was Luigi's girlfriend. Then, she did her worst ot the Squadrons.
Dasiy: Hi I'm Daisy!Hi I'm Daisy!Hi I'm Daisy!Hi I'm Daisy!Hi I'm Daisy!Hi I'm Daisy!Hi I'm Daisy!Hi I'm Daisy!Hi I'm Daisy!
Snake performed a facepalm, while Bowser growled at her, but this didn't scare Daisy, as she bopped Bowser right on the nose with her fist, which made Bowser turn away. Daisy was more of a tomboy unlike Princess Peach.
Daisy: HOOOOOT STUFF! YEAH! She then licked her finger, and then touched her thigh, and a slight sizzle was heard.
This made Falcon become fired up as he retaliated back.
Falcon: NO, I'M HOT STUFF!
He then Falcon kicked Daisy all the way to the other side of the maze, where Luigi was. Falcon the licked his finger, which was flaming, and burnt his own tongue, then he tried to touch his own thigh, but he was so full of energy, that he burnt his own thigh, and soon, he was flopping around on the floor, and the Squadrons had to wait for him, as he was a major help in carrying the mushroom. By that time, the Vaccuums were more then 3/4 done the maze, and Daisy was stalking Luigi, as she actually cost the Squadrons a lot of time.
Daisy: Hey Luigi!
Luigi:H-h-hi
Daisy: Hi Luigi's minions!
Luigi: There not a my minions!
The Vacuums were already getting annoyed with Daisy, and also thinking about what she said at the same time.
Luigi: Could you a at least help us with this the nusance behind us?!
Daisy glanced at Bowser Jr, who was chucking rocks at them, but the Squadrons were trying the best to ignore him.
Daisy: OK honey!
Daisy then looked at Bowser Jr and pounced on him, and then a brawl occurred, and they left Daisy behind.
Krystal: She's ANNOYING!
Zelda: At least he has someone to annoy him! Where's Link!?
Krystal: Cheer up, Wario plenty annoying for you, and how can Link possibly annoy you? He's always silent.
Zelda: First, Wario's revolting so no to him, and second, Link always annoyed me with his silent act, he always made high pitched squeals...
Krystal: You're going through the stages honey. First, denial.
Zelda: No I'm not!
The Squadrons were now on the Vacuum's tails again as They were even closer to finishing. Both teams now had a distraction as they saw a load of bananas on the ground, which belong to Diddy Kong. Diddy then jumped off his tree, and jumped about the place, laying down more banana peels and getting in the way of both teams. Luigi then had an idea as he yelled for Daisy. Daisy then came to his side slightly bruised, ready to fight once more. Bowser tried to copy Luigi's idea and called for his son Bowser Jr, but all he heard was a cry from him, which indicated that he was defeated by Daisy. Bowser sighed.
Luigi: Sweetie, please eliminate-
Daisy: Gotcha Weegee! She then saw Diddy, and launched herself into him, and yet another fight occurred: Daisy vs Diddy Kong, which freed both teams from Diddy's banana wrath. The Squadrons were more ahead of the Squadrons, and very close to finishing. They then saw a little boy with an odd elvis type blond haircut walk onto the pathway. He looked rather frightened.
?: Could you help me please?
Luigi: Sure, what's your a name?
Lucas: Lucas, sir.
Luigi smiled when he was called sir, as it rarely ever happened. Wario was sick of Lucas though, as he took Lucas by the hair, and tossed him backwards and away. The Squadrons though that it was cruel, (except Bowser) but they paced forth anyways. They then saw the exit, and dashed towards it, but Lucas wasn't pleased. He launched a PK thunder attack towards Wario. It hit him squarely in the the face, and this made him drop the part of the golden mushroom he was holding, and that made the whole team wobble about, as Wario was carrying a large part of the mushroom. Once they recovered though, the Squadrons already beat them, and won the challenge.
Stanley: The Squadrons win! Congrats, and go back to your camp. Seriously, go, I'm sick of looking at the lot of you.
They then moved on forwards and got rides from the PT, who shook all their hands. Meanwhile, the Vacuums were yelling at Wario.
Fawful: Pizza pumpkin! Your mannerisms compare to a dog who does not play poker! A stupid one!
Meta Knight: Fool.
Yoshi: Yoshi! (Utterly belligerent!)
Stanley: OK, OK. Actually, your team Luigi, is walking back to camp, haha!
Luigi: You're a pretty cruel.
Stanley: That's why I love my job! Now go!
Stanley indeed became a lot more cruel over the past few days.
The Vacuums then miserably walked back to there camp, pondering who's going to leave, although the majority of them all had set minds on Wario.
They all got back to camp 2 hours later, and just rested for at least a half an hour. Luigi then secretly called Fawful,Krystal,and Meta Knight to his own little private area he made, which looked rather lame.
Luigi: Goroh's a threat! He can really do damage to us later on if an unexpected twist happens like everyone for themselves!
Krystal: True...
Fawful: Starch pants, his blade slices the air like a rat engaged in battle with a bat on a cat!
Meta Knight: Yes...
Luigi: Then Goroh it is.
Goroh was also searching to eliminate Luigi, and was persuading others to do it secretly. He by the end of his persuading, he convinced Zelda and Wario to vote for Luigi. The other two votes were not asked for by anyone... Will Luigi live Goroh's wrath, or will he fall to Goroh? THIS was the deciding day.
The same usual things happened while getting the the REJECTION ROOM: They looked for anything new, and it took them 15 minutes for them to get there. Stanley the stood up, and did something different:
Stanley: I'm going to ask you guys some social questions! First thing: How is everyone at camp?
Luigi: Everyone's a fine
Fawful: Candy canes! My mood ranges from bitter mustard...to mustard that is not bitter! I'm ok!
Wario: They all smell!
The Vaccuums they just laughed and mocked Wario after that response.
Stanley: Question #2: Do you think you may leave soon in this game?
Luigi: Maybe...
Wario: I NEVER EVER have to worry, what a ridiculous question!
Zelda: I may leave just for Link...
Stanley: How would you rate your performance so far out of 10?
Wario: 10!
Luigi: 7...
Meta Knight: 8.
Goroh: 9 and a half
Krystal: 7
Yoshi: Yoshi! (You cannot scale my superiority over these clowns)
Stanley: I'm sick of the questions now: Go vote! Krystal, you're up!
Krystal got up, and took a minute to vote. Once she did, everyone else voted too. Once the votes were done, Stanley read them out.
Stanley: First vote: Luigi
Luigi blinked, astonished
Stanley: 2nd vote: Luigi
Luigi's jaw dropped
Stanley: 3rd vote: Goroh
Goroh was silent
Stanley: 4th vote: Luigi
Luigi pulled at his nose nervously
Stanley: 5th vote: Wario
Wario munched on some garlic to ease his nerves.
Stanley: 6th vote: Goroh
Goroh stayed silent
Stanley: 7th vote:... Goroh
Goroh now twitched nervously
Stanley: 8th and final vote: Goroh. That's Luigi-3, Wario-1, and Goroh-4. Time to go Goroh.
Goroh stayed sturdy, and shook everyone's hand, wishing them a good game.
Goroh: Good job, leader.
Luigi: That's an honor coming from you!
Goroh: I know it is.
He then gave a heartiful laugh, and walked to the cannon. He then waved goodbye, set the coordinates, and was shot back home.
Stanley: Falcon won't be impressed, that's for true! See ya later, you lost a valueble asset. First speed, then strength? Good luck guys...
They all walked away content, and respected Goroh greatly.
Goroh: Luigi
Wario: Luigi
Zelda: Luigi
Luigi: Goroh
Fawful: Goroh
Krystal: Goroh
Yoshi: Goroh
Meta Knight: Wario
Krystal: Well, there's the biggest threat I can think of on our team gone now. Great!
Meta Knight: Solemn.
Final words, Goroh: What a rush! Out with a battle, can't go wrong with that! Granted I can't assure Luigi's position in the game for much longer, but eh. Falcon I will get my time of day over you soon enough!
