all of you faithful readers. Please go back and read Episodes 4 and 5,
because I changed the voting from TK to Kari. So TK is back! I'm
sorry if I'm gonna confuse the hell out of my readers. But it's no big
difference, I just switched the names around from the dialogue and
action. I thought it should be Kari first, then TK; because of Kari's
cold and high fever (during the Dark Masters saga), I wanted the team to be
more concerned about Kari's health and vote her off first to keep her safe.
For Kari fans, I'm sorry, really, I am. But I will make it up for you
in a filler episode! Oops, I said too much. Anime
Survivor! Episode 6 Star Otaku: Welcome to another episode of "Anime
Survivor!" Next episode, there will be a merger between our two
tribes. They've all stuck together, functioning within the norms that
they've created. Will they learn to get along, or will all out war
break out? Keep on reading, for the impending merge is on everyone's
minds. Oh yes, and please send in your offers for cameos! Day 16 Everyone left on the Pokemon team is either having a relaxing
soak in the hot spring or wallowing about in the mud. {Jesse: We're having a day just for us. I think we
should relax before we get together with the other team. So we'll just
sit around and pamper ourselves. Well, as best as we can, considering
where we are.} {Brock: Everyone knows what big change is to come.
We're going to be joining with the opposition and we just don't know what to
feel. It's just... interesting. Today is a day for us to put it
off and kick back.} {Misty: I don't have anything against the Digimon
tribe. They seem really nice. I don't know how they're taking
this. My guess is that they're planning things out, being a team.
*contemptuously* Trying to look good for the readers.} Everyone is sitting under the parachute tent, talking. Ash: I hope they still have some of that food left.
They'll share it with us, and we'll share our supplies. James: If we're going to get together, we should choose
which ones to eliminate. I call for Matt. No one should look
cooler than me! And he seems to have a lot of social problems. Brock: *raises hand* Joe. He seems too wimpy.
We already have James! Kidding! But anyways, he isn't as smart as
that Izzy. So we'll need only one genius. Misty: Tai. He's almost as annoying as Ash...
I'm also kidding! Seriously, he is annoying. We're going to get
real tired of him soon. Jesse: All I have to say is that they better have some of
those chicken things left! We're starved. Everyone nods their heads in agreement. Everyone at the Digimon camp is looking into the crate of the
mini-Cockatrimons. They're licking their lips hungrily. They're
each pointing to their digimon of choice. {Tai: The plan is that we're gonna let Agumon just fry
them. No need for beheading or plucking or cooking. We're just
gonna put it on a stick and dangle it in front of Agumon's Pepper
Breath. I don't know if anyone wants to watch the event though. It could
get messy.} {TK: I don't know if I want to watch them cook the
chicken. I mean, I fed them and took care of them. That's the
down side of befriending the meal. I'll just wait for them to hand my
piece to me.} {Matt: I don't want to be totally insensitive, I'm just
hungry. We all are, and killing is a way for us to get our food.
I'm sure some people are wishing that they were vegetarians. Mmm...
Stir fry Veggiemon...} {Izzy: Some more protein into our diets! You can
never get enough protein. Actually, I think you can. Too much
meat can deprive you of other essential vitamins, which you can get from
fruits and vegetables.} {Sora: We're going to try to finish them off in the next
three days. I don't think the others want to share with the other
team. I think this is therapeutic. When we first encountered the
Cockatrimon, it nearly walked in on me and Mimi while we were in the
shower. And then it chased us around while we were in our towels!
I think this is some kind of revenge.} Tai is ready to cook the mini-mon. He has it on a stick,
and is dangling it in front of Agumon. Agumon then blasts it with his
Pepper Breath. The burnt carcass is passed on to Joe, who cuts it up
and recooks it over Agumon. Matt passes everyone their servings and they eat it with gusto. {Ash: It's been a really hot day, so we're getting in our
comfy clothes. I have my shorts and shirt, Misty still has that outfit
she usually wears, and Jesse and James are in their swimsuits, but I haven't
seen Brock around.} Brock is in the waters. Meanwhile, all his clothes are in a pile
on the sand. He waves at everyone on the shore. Misty: Hey! There's Brock! Ash: What's he doing swimming? Aren't his trunks
being left out to dry from our last challenge? Jesse: That was his only pair of swimming trunks.
Then that would mean... He's skinny dipping! James: That can't be right, I'm sure he has more clothes. Jesse: Wanna bet? If he's naked, then your lunch is
my second helping. If he's not, then you get my rations. Deal? Both of them shake hands to seal the bet. James: Deal. Now, how do we prove it? Jesse: Just watch. *yelling and waving hands* Brock!
I thought I saw another Seadramon behind you! It's a hundred times
larger than the one we ate the other day! And I think there was a
Gyrados with it! They both seem pretty angry! Misty: Jesse, that's mean! Brock, not wanting to take any chances, runs out of the
water. Along the way, he grabs his clothes and places them in front of
him. He runs onto the shore, past the others. They look over
their shoulders to see Brock's exposed rear as he runs into the jungle. James: You know what? You can have my lunch.
I'm not too hungry anyways. Jesse: Me either. Ash and Misty: You know, I'm not going to have lunch today too. Brock emerges from the forest, dressed in his jogging outfit: red
shorts and a tank top. Brock: Are they gone? Everyone nods their heads yes. Brock: Good. I'll make lunch. Everyone: I'll pass! {Brock: So I guess Ash, Misty, and I are the alliance
now. I want to keep Jesse on board. She may be difficult, but we
need her strength. James, well... I'm sure he'll be good for
something too.} {Jesse: So I'm going to join the twerps. I have a
bigger sense of self-preservation that loyalty. I'll try to get James
to come around and join us. It's one bold move for our team against the
other before the merge.} *
* * Day 17 Tai and Sora wake up and crawl out of the little shack to the
side. They meet Matt. Tai and Sora: Morning Matt. Matt: Morning guys. Everyone else is up, so we're
gonna make breakfast. Agumon is lighting up the fire while Izzy and Joe are cooking
some Rattata and rice. {Izzy: Okay, I made a comment out of boredom, and now I'm
being ganged up on. I remarked, "I prefer the company of computers
instead of people. They have better personalities and it's easier to
read what's on their minds, unlike other human beings I know." So
far, I've been scraping by on my intelligence.} {Tai: I'm quite offended that he thinks we're stupid and
psychotic! But he's kinda right. The only reason he's been with
us so far is because we need his smarts. I've seen him work, a little
bit, but now we're looking more on physical strength than wit, it's getting
tempting to kick him off.} {Matt: It all started when we were talking about what and
who we all miss. Then that led to us spilling about some personal
things, like how I feel about my family, and how Sora and her mom don't get
along. He's one to talk! He's the one who's adopted!} {Joe: So I told him that when we write down his name on
that piece of paper, we're going to stuff that piece of paper into the box
and say, "Izzy, you've got mail." That just scared him
straight. So he's apologizing to everyone.} The Pokemon team is walking down the beach and they find a can in
front of them. Ash picks it up and reads the label. Jesse: Well? What does it say? Ash: We have another challenge tonight. And it seems
that we're being given a second chance to win food. Misty: Food?! We can't lose this time! James: *takes can* I hope that can is enough to tide us
over. Brock: Let's open it up. They go back to their camp and open up the can. They each
take turns sniffing the can, and then passing it on to the next person. Brock: *sniffs* Pokemon food. It's the mass produced
kind. I think it's mostly for pokemon that need lots of protein.
Anyone want some? Everyone turns their heads in disgust as Brock takes piece and
eats it. TK comes up to the group with a can in his hand. TK: Look what I found! It's a clue to our next
challenge! Sora: *takes can* *reads label* Another chance at
food! Don't you think we already have enough? Tai: Sora, around here, we can never get enough! Matt: A midnight challenge. We better rest up for
tonight, my bet is that we're going to get really tired from being up so
late. While they were talking, Joe has already opened up the can and
takes a whiff of what's inside. Joe: Whew! What's in here? *hands can to Izzy* Izzy: *sniffs* It seems to be some artificial protein
supplement. Like dog food. Everyone's face turns green and they seem sick. Izzy: Hey, if we've been starved enough that we've started eating
rats, then dog food is a welcome change. Joe: I'm sure that if we cook it, we'll never know the
difference. The team is cooking the dog food over the fire, and then they
each take a taste. Some of them chew and then nod their heads while the
others just spit out their bite. That night, both teams are walking down to the old abandoned
factory, the one where Andromon was found. They stand before Star
Otaku, who is behind a crate with food on top of it. Star Otaku: Now, this is like a relay race, like
before. Inside the factory are two of each of these three items: a
hollowed out motor, a dipstick, and an old Andromon helmet. One person
goes inside with an electrical pokemon or digimon. Ash: Pikachu! Izzy: Tentomon! Star Otaku: Correct. Pikachu will run alongside you
and use the Flash technique to light the way, while Tentomon will fly by and
use his Super Shocker. Now, when one person finds one item, they return
to the team and pass off the next poke- or digimon to the next person.
First tribe with all the items, wins. For motivation, here is what
you'll win: canned food and some candy sweets. Ready? Ash and Izzy step forward with their respective 'mon at their
side. On Star Otaku's mark, they set off running. Ash and Izzy both reach the factory and run around inside.
Izzy finds the first helmet in an old storage closet and runs out with
Tentomon. Meanwhile, Ash and Pikachu are tearing up the place until
they finally find the helmet near a catwalk. Pikachu and Tentomon are then passed off to James and Joe.
As James is running with Pikachu, he's trying real hard not to pick up
Pikachu for himself and run off into the night. Tentomon and Joe are
navigating, without incident, through the factory. Both boys find the
hollowed out motor on the still conveyor belts. Even though the motor
is hollowed out, it's still heavy, and both are having trouble trying to
carry it back to the team. When both boys arrive, the 'mons are passed on to Sora and
Brock. Both run inside and each find the final item: the dipstick,
which is found further along the conveyor belt. When both of them have
it, it's a final break for the finish. Brock makes it first into the
group. [You readers thought Digimon was gonna win again?! They
already had their fair share of food, time for Pokemon tribe to eat some
grub.] Star Otaku: Well! After a defeat for the first food
challenge, Pokemon tribe makes a rebound! I'm very sorry
Digi-tribe. Go back to your camps, rest up for tomorrow's challenge. Pokemon tribe takes their goods back to their camp. Along
the way, they first sample some of the sweets. That night, TK is sleeping while the rest of Digimon team is
sitting around the fire. They're all talking quietly so as not to wake
the sleeping boy. Joe: One more day until the merge. I betcha that as
soon as we join, they're going to plan to vote us off, one by one. Izzy: Don't be so paranoid. We outnumber them.
And besides, my strategy is for us to stick together in our votes. Tai: That's why we have to win tomorrow. If we lose
and we vote off one more person, we're going to break even. Matt: If we do have to vote someone off, let it be
TK. I'm not being cruel, I just don't want him to get caught between
the conflict and scheming of the merge. Sora: I have a feeling that one of us, from this team, is
going to walk off with the "Best Anime Monster Show" and "Best
Anime Monster Show Character" titles. *
* * Day 18 {Matt: It was a very sleepless night. We just stayed
up all night, talking about voting strategies. I think Joe's paranoia
is getting contagious.} {TK: I woke up real early because everyone was beginning to
talk so loudly. I can't wait for today's challenge! Although, I
don't want to vote anybody off. I think everyone feels that way.} {Sora: We've all agreed, we've all said it out in the
open. We don't want to vote our own off. We're really determined
to do win today so we don't have to go through that. But we've come up
with strategies in case we don't.} {Izzy: So far, I've come up with as many different voting
strategies as I can think of to preserve our team. I've even considered
myself as a candidate! Because I'm sure that by now, everyone is tired
of my theories and formulas. They're telling me: "This isn't a
laboratory, this is the wilderness!"} {Tai: Okay, throughout our time together, it's been Izzy
who's been guiding us. But now, I think he has more ego than
knowledge. Sure, we've depended on him for the basic information but-} {Joe: It's like he's turned into Bill Gates! He's
monopolizing us! He has to lay out every plan and strategy because
we're too dim-witted to figure things out for ourselves!} {TK: He treats me like a child! Wait, I am a
child. And everyone else also treats me that way. I'm sick of
it! I better start looking out in case I get voted off like Kari.
But if I do get voted off, I may get to see Patamon and Kari again!
Boy, this is a really hard decision.} {Izzy: So I've become overly cautious of everyone and for
everyone. I'm just trying to help out as best as I can. At least
I haven't turned totally egotistical.} Globie and Scott McGuire march down the beach to the Pokemon
team. Globie: We're here because of this afternoon's challenge. Scott: Here is the map to the challenge. Scott hands the map to Ash. Globie and Scott: *salute* Good luck. The author and character both stroll down the beach away from the
team. ^JPK^ and Becker Wein are walking down the beach to the Digimon
team. Everyone gets up to meet them. ^JPK^: A message from the author. Becker Wein: You have an immunity challenge this afternoon. ^JPK^: Yeah! I finally made my cameo! Oh yeah,
here's a map to where the challenge is located and the set-up. ^JPK^ hands Tai the map, then both authors about-face and walk
away from the group. Both teams are on a long and narrow island. Before them is
an obstacle course. Star Otaku: You're all here! Good. Now, We'll
need two from each tribe to run the first part of the course. You'll
meet two other members near the end of the course, at a certain part that
requires a lot of serious thinking. Who will volunteer for that? Jesse and James step forward for the Pokemon team and Izzy and
Matt step forward for the Digimon team. Star Otaku snaps her fingers,
and all four people are transported at the meeting place. Star Otaku: First ones to make it to the end over there
*points*, will win immunity. The ones who won't be participating, which
are Joe and TK for Digi-tribe and Ash for Poke-tribe, will be spectators. Tai and Sora are lined up on their side of the start line while
Brock and Misty are on the other. On Star Otaku's mark, all four of
them take off running. Brock and Misty have gained a lead over the
couple as they go through vaults, rope climbing, rope swinging, crawling, and
more running. Both pairs reach their waiting team-mates at the strategy
obstacle. Izzy: There are these boards with different lengths.
We have to connect each of these platforms using these boards as bridges, so
they can't touch the sand. Both teams set to work on how to make a "bridge" across
the sand and platforms. Both are evenly matched in speed, but Pokemon
team finishes quickly and make their way through another set of vaults.
Soon, Digimon team follows closely behind them. Both of them reach the flags and struggle to pull them out of the
sand. With the pole being carried in each of their arms, all eight make
a dash for the finish line. They then stop, since they have to raise
the flag. Pokemon team, having the size and strength advantage, hoists up
the flag pole and cross the finish line. Digimon team immediately follows after them. Star Otaku: That was a very close race. I'd like to
congratulate all of you on such a good job. Digimon tribe, I'm sorry,
but I'll be seeing you all at tribal council. Now, Pokemon tribe, you
will find the immunity idol on that small island. *points* Just look for the
snake pokemon. Jesse and James take the little canoe to the island. They
see an Ekans and an Arbok wrapped around the idol. Jesse
"charms" the snakes away from the idol, and James grabs it before
they can return. Both of them get back in the canoe and paddle back to
their team to celebrate. As the depressed Digi-team approaches their camp, they find an
unpleasant surprise. Joe: *yelling* NNNNNNNNOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!! I WANTED TO
EAT COCKATRIMON!!! I WANTED SOME COMFORT FOOD AFTER A HUMILIATING
DEFEAT!!! {Sora: We're really upset that one of our Cockatrimons was
eaten while we were gone. An Ekans snuck in here and got into the crate.
It was a messy job to clean up when we finally chased it away.} {Izzy: It's still good. Just wash it and fry
it. I mean, it's not like we put much of an effort to kill it and cook
it in the first place.} The group is setting to work on cutting up the leftovers of the
carcass and barbecuing it over Agumon's mouth. {Joe: This is adding insult to injury. First we lose
our immunity, now we lose our lunch. And I think the worst is yet to
come. And I mean the voting strategies. From what I've gathered,
it's either TK, since this is no place for a little kid, or Izzy, because
we're getting real tired of him pushing us around.} It's night time on File Island, and the Digimon team is making
their trek through the vast environments of the island. After crossing
the bridge over the hot springs, they all reach the base of Infinity
Mountain, to see that there is a crude wooden sitting area around a bonfire. As each person crosses the bridge, they bang the gong to alert
them of their presence. Star Otaku: *steps out to greet them* You're all
here. Sit down. All of them sit down. In front of each of them is a glowing
digivice, and on the tiny glowing screen is their crest. This is what
each of their corresponding crest is, according to their seating plan (left
to right): Star Otaku: I'm sure you all know what to do. But for
now, why don't we talk this over? Tell me, how are your feelings about the
merge? Sora: I think it's kinda okay. We want to stick together in the
votes when we merge, and we were kinda hoping that it didn't have to come to
this for us. Izzy: It seems that this has put a wrench in the works. Star Otaku: So things didn't go as you planned. Izzy, do you feel
like you are indispensable? Izzy: At first I did, but I've re-evaluated my position, and I'm
starting to second-guess myself. I feel like I can get kicked off at any
time. Star Otaku: And I'm sure that little comment you made about
computers and people doesn't help your situation out one bit. Everyone laughs and nods their heads while Izzy blushes out of
embarrassment. Star Otaku: I think we're done talking. Why don't we start the
voting. We'll go in order of seating. Matt, I'm sure you know what to do. Matt gets up and goes into the cave. He's writing a name on paper
under the torch that hangs over the little table. Matt: *write the name and holds it up* TK. Again,
this is for his protection. And besides, he'll be happy to be together
with Kari and Patamon. *puts paper in box and leaves* TK is seen doing his writing, putting the paper in the box, and
then leaving. Tai: *writes the name and holds it up* Izzy. I'd
choose TK for the same reasons as Kari, but Izzy needs to deflate his ego for
a little bit. *puts paper in box and leaves* Sora, Joe, and Izzy are seen doing their writing, putting the
paper in the box, and then leaving. Izzy is seen coming out of the cave. He hands the box to
Star Otaku and then takes his seat. Star Otaku: Thank you. I'll try to make this as quick
as possible. Star Otaku opens up the box and reaches inside. Everyone is
silent as the suspense of who the first name will be. Star Otaku: *pulls out paper* TK. TK looks up with wide and nervous eyes. Star Otaku: *pulls out paper* Izzy. Izzy looks on passively. The process continues as each of the votes are read. The
tally is: Izzy-2 votes; TK-4 votes. Star Otaku: Well, TK. Those are the votes.
Please bring up your digivice. TK complies with the instructions. She grabs his glowing
digivice and hands it to Star Otaku. She holds it out in her hand. Star Otaku: The tribe has spoken. Star Otaku presses a button on the digivice. It stops
glowing and the screen goes dark. Star Otaku: TK, you can go now. TK: See ya guys! Hope you win this one! *leaves* TK's Final Words: Hi everyone! Don't worry, I'm not mad at you guys. I think you guys
voted me off for the same reasons as you did with Kari. So the tribe
can stay strong and also to keep me safe. Matt, it was pretty obvious that you also voted for me, I saw
your hand writing as the votes were read. I especially want you to know
that I'm not mad at you. I just want you and Tai to know that Kari and
I are big kids now! We can take care of ourselves. But don't
worry, we still need our big brothers to help us out sometimes! The digimon, Kari, Mimi, and I will be rooting for you guys! End of Episode 6 Additional Author's Notes: 4 cameos have been made!
If any people pop up in the show, I'll be sure to keep those cameo offers in
mind. Sorry about Brock's *ahem* exposé. Globie suggested either
Tai or Brock. And again, I apologize for screwing up the whole voting
continuum, people were saying how much they missed TK, so I thought I'd keep
him on a little longer. But I still want to stick true to my ideas and
that of the series, and I planned for TK to go before the real back-stabbing
begins. Please keep reading, please? Keep sending in your
suggestions, I'll be sure to keep them in mind. |
