ANIME AND VIDEO GAME SURVIVOR:

TROUBLE AT THE MISHIMA CONGLOMERATE

At last, the original call of the wild (or English) makes his debut on something other than FF.net. I was surprised at how well this did because whilst not getting as many reviews as the ‘big two’, I think I won over the ‘critics’ in this sort of field which was enough for me (and enough to warrant a sequel as well)

This is a slight re-write as well so this is more of the complete article. Also, in a timeline perspective, this takes place AFTER Poke-mole if that helps.]

O.K, let’s begin!

EPISODE 1: THE CALL OF THE DAMNED

(A helicopter is clearly heard passing over a ship, ready for our 16 contestants to make their way towards the island...also known as hell)

(Our host is Misato Katsargi of Eva fame)

Misato: Today, 16 young hopeful from the world of video games, American animation and Japanese animation hope to make their shows and what-nots proud as they compete for the title of ultimate survivor. I am here to present challenges and to give an un-biased opinion even though one of my own is on this adventure (Go Shinji!)…these 16 people are…

(A shot of Gary Oak petting his Eevee)

M: Pokemon’s Gary Oak.

( A shot of Davis on Raidramon)

M: Digimon’s Davis Motimaya.

(A shot of Shinji Ikari, piloting Eva 01)

M: Eva’s own Shinji Ikari

(Gohan blasting away Cell)

M: DBZ’s Son Gohan)

(Tenchi trying to get away from Ryoko’s advances)

M: Tenchi Muyo’s own Tenchi Masaki.

(Sakura capturing the Firey card)

M: Sakura Ki…er Avalon from Cardcaptors.

(Akane cooking up a storm…literally)

M: Akane Tendo from Ramna ½)

(Nene Romanova hacking into Genom)

M: Nene Romanov from Bubblegum Crisis (2040 version)

(Chun-Li disarming Mr. Lin)

M: Chun-Li from Street Fighter (NOTE: This is the Chun-Li from the SF2V anime, so Chun-Li is 15 here)

(Duo kicking some ass)

M: Duo Maxwell, from Gundam Wing.

(Vivi blasting away with fire magic)

M: Vivi Orniter, from Final Fantasy 9)

(B.B.Hood, blasting at Lord Rapter)

M: B.B. Hood from Darkstalkers 3)

(Julia Chang, mediating on a mountain)

M: Julia Chang, from Tekken.

(Genki on his blades)

M: Genki, the hero from Monster Rancher

(Shot of Jubilee using her powers)

M: X-Men’s own Mihoshi, Jubilee.

(Serena with her Moon Sceptre)

M: And Sailor Moon’s own…er, Sailor Moon.)

M: None of these characters have met before unless it’s from a crossover fic on this site, but this is a new story so it doesn’t matter. They will be split into two tribes, the first tribe known as the Ulah tribe, which will consist of…

Ulah

B.B.Hood

Julia

Chun-Li

Serena

Shinji

Tenchi

Duo

Davis

M: And the second known as Helang, which will consist of;

Helang

Sakura

Akane

Nene

Jubilee

Gary

Genki

Gohan

Vivi

M: Each of these tribes will revolve around a 3 day pattern. The first, a reward challenge, something to make their lives a little easier on the island. The second is for immunity, which will ensure that the tribe remains on the island for another 3 days. The final day is Tribal Council, where one team has the dubious task, of cutting one of their own squad members. It pays to see if they can get along, or will there be plenty of back stabbing as acustomed to Survivor rip-offs such as my own? We’ll find out…

(Cut to the ship where the 16 people have just been given the signal that they can go)

(Misato voice over: They have to swim to the island in two separate areas. On the island, it is a fantasy creation’s nightmare, where all manners of creatures and powers can belong. Heck, it’s Chris’ fic, blame him!)

Julia: Can anybody here not swim?

All: NO! (Somewhere in unison, both Nene and Akane go ‘Well, I can dog paddle…’)

Julia: Good!

Vivi: Glad I asked Zidane how before I came here.

Tenchi: It’s not too far now, has everyone got as much as possible…

B.B.Hood: I think the machette was left on the ship!

Duo: Damn! We’ll have to make do without then!

(As they arrive on their separate base on the island, everyone is in awe)

Chun-Li: A desert island, it’s like a school girl’s fantasy!

Shinji: I’m surprised about it’s simple…beauty.

Duo: Well, we have time to look at everything later, but as much as I hate to say it, I think it’s time for work.

VO: Tenchi – The first thing that was needed was fire and water. We have 30 days supply of rice and corned beef, but that will obviously not be enough.

(Shot to seeing Tenchi doing quite well with the old rubbing the sticks together technique. Smoke appears to be coming)

Davis: You seem a natural at this!

Tenchi: My grandfather has trained me a lot at outside with my sword training, along with that, finding food and building a fire were two tricks I needed to know.

(Duo – I’d say that I could win this. I am physically quite able and have made a habit of getting friendly with the others, so I hope that I can hold on. Obviously, it’s too early so far to say if I’ve got a chance, but you always know you’ve got on…)

(Julia and Chun-Li are seeing at a water hole)

(Julia – I immediately clicked with Chun-Li. We are both fighters, and have a rebel like personality. Although she is a bit of a loudmouth, she can be deadly serious at times and at least I have one friend on the island.)

Jun: I think the guys better appreciate this…

Chun-Li: You and me both sister! (They both laugh)

(Meanwhile, Serena is lying in the sun quickly whilst B.B.Hood is using her luxury item, a hunting knife to carve a spear)

(B.B.Hood – A lot of people including the big wigs at English AAG Survivor were nervous when I told them my hunting knife would be my luxury item. Yes, I’m a bounty hunter, but I only kill stalkers, not ordinary beings! Besides, I’m using this to try and get some food…)

(B.B.Hood tries her luck with the spear in the water, nothing going. Serena comes up to her.)

Serena: Here, let’s have a try.

(Serena throws the spear, wades out and a big fish is dangling at the end. Serena runs to where Tenchi is making the fire, whilst B.B.Hood gets a pissed off look.)

(B.B.Hood - …and then that little b*tch comes in, takes my work and throws it, getting a catch and is now the heroine of the island! If I had my uzi, she’d would be first on my list, hey, wait, I’ve still got my knife…)

(Serena – I showed that I am a strong member of the team by quickly grabbing a bit of lunch. It isn’t much, but to stay here I need to show I’m strong. And not some whiner who needs a sugar rush every 5 seconds)

ON THE OTHER TRIBE

(M: Meanwhile on the Ulah side, things are also going along at a steady pace)

(Akane – We quickly made peace and decided to just get along and do some work in building us a shelter and the other basic needs such as fire and food and water)

(Shot of Akane pushing some fern leaves on the top for a roof. By her side, Gohan is helping with the wood and Vivi is cutting some down.)

(Vivi- Akane and Gohan seem to have a physical advantage over almost everyone else here. They could be either potential winners or the first potential sacrifices for the others.)

(Sakura and Gary are off getting some water)

Gary: Did you ever expect to be in this position in this life?

Sakura: Yeah, considering what I’ve gone through, nothing surprises me anymore.

(Gary: People don’t expect me to win. Let me tell you something now, I am not the same person as I was when I started by pokemon journey. I am still confident, but I know when to give praise, and indeed respect, to certain people.)

(Sakura and Gary return with the water, and then they hear Nene scream from off shore)

Nene: LOOK AT THIS!

(Gohan: What happened was that as the rules state that we can’t use any powers to help us survive, so myself, Vivi and Jubilee couldn’t do anything, Nene was doing a scavangehunt down the shore, and I think lady luck was on our side, as she found what appeared to be a cigarette lighter.)

Jubilee: Is that what I think it is?

Gary: Damn it, that’s a top scavenge!

(Nene: I was just pushing off the water when I found it, and there was some oil, about half full, the flint had gone, but after a bit of work, we indeed, got a flame.)

(Scene where Vivi is putting the leaves on and a flame is riding high)

Vivi: We’ve got fire!

Sakura: Now all we need is food. (Starts getting some rice) How’s Genki doing?

(See Genki playing around in the water)

Akane: DAMN HIM! BAKA, WE NEED FOOD NOT A FOOL!

(Akane dives into the water, grabs Genki with one hand and grabs a fish with another)

Akane: Humph!

Gary: (to Sakura) Note to self. Never incur the wrath of Akane.

(Akane: Immediately, Genki is p*ssing me off. Yes, we can enjoy ourselves

but not when we’re starving!)

(Gary and Sakura start handing over the rice they’ve cooked, with parts of fish in for flavour.)

Jubilee: I guess we should toast to our first day as a tribe.

Nene: Yay! To the Helang Tribe!

All (except Genki who is a little banged up): To the Helang Tribe!

DAY 2

(6.29am)

Misato: As the survivors are getting up, they realise how tough this is going to be. Later on this afternoon, they will compete for their first immunity challenge, the chance to survive for three more days on the island. If they fail, one of them will be leaving the island tonight.

(Shot to Ulah tribe where mostly everyone is getting up, the shelter is quite sturdy, grass ferns but it just about fits 10 people)

(Tenchi: I don’t have too many problems getting up early, but it seems that quite a few do.)

(Shot to Davis, snoring loudly along with Serena)

(Shinji: I dunno what we’re gonna do about Davis’ snoring. I mean, he sounds like a hurricane!)

(Chun-Li: It may seem a bit evil, but maybe we should vote him off purely because he’s keeping us awake!)

Duo: I guess one of us should be alarm clock.

Chun-Li: Allow me.

(Takes a deep breath)

Chun-Li: WAKE UP YOU LAZY BUMS!

Serena/Davis: AAARRRGGGHHH!

Serena: Oh, where’d I put those ear-plugs…

Davis: I’ll have a slice of toast with eggs, bacon, a slice of sausage and a glass of milk please…

Julia: Still half-asleep.

Shinji: He’s got the right idea though, I’ll cook us some breakfast.

(Duo: Shinji is an enigma, he seems to keep to himself, but he is our cook though so I think he’s safe for the moment.)

(Shot of Shinji making some rice, looking quite crispy)

(Shinji: I have been a survivor but I honestly don’t expect to win this. My strategy is to be under the radar and be helpful whenever possible. I think as the early chef here I’m safe for at least this round.)

(Helang tribe)

Akane: Whatever you do, DON’T LET ME COOK!

(Shot of Gary and Sakura cooking some rice and snickering at Akane)

(Gary: Akane is a laugh. She has already warned us off her cooking, not sure if it’s true or if she’s trying to get out of work. It doesn’t matter anyway cause me and Sakura are pretty good at it anyway.)

(Sakura: I am really enjoying myself so far. Akane, Nene and Gary have really been a joy to be with, my biggest worry was being alone here but it seems that I won’t have to worry.)

Nene: Don’t look at me, the best I can do is instant noodles!

Gohan: The last time me and my dad cooked we blew up the house…

Vivi: Zidane was the chef for us, I haven’t a clue…

Jubilee: I’d probably burn the whole schbang!

Genki: What you guys doing?

Gary/Sakura: (sweatdrop)

(Jubilee: I am always worried that my label as a klutz will be a hindrance, but I think my easy going nature is working for me. Akane and Nene are quite cool, and Gohan is such a sweetie. I just hope I can survive the first immunity.)

(10.17am.)

(NOTE: In the UK version, there weren’t any mailboxes and messages etc. They were just told to meet by the producer.)

(Misato VO: The two tribes are about to start their first challenge, and already friendships and tensions have begun. The Helang tribe is mostly united with some early friendships forming, whilst in Ulah, it is mostly calm on the front. However, one of these tribes will have to vote one of their own tomorrow night after this challenge.)

(Shot of Misato with the two tribes.)

Misato: Welcome to your first immunity challenge. As you know, fire is among the most important and basic elements for survival, and it represents your life on the island. For this challenge you will be carrying this log towards the ocean, where as you can see, a pillar of fire is. You must light your torches and then light the 8 torches on the beach before lighting the final one on this totem pole. If you fail to light one, then you must go back and light it otherwise you’re disqualified. Do you understand?

(All nod.)

Misato: Very well, survivors get into position.

(A shot of both tribes looking nervous. Gary is in the front of Helang whilst Tenchi is in the front for Ulah.)

Misato: GO!

(The tribes steadily go into the ocean. Helang take an early lead because of a slight strength advantage a.k.a. Gohan. Shot of Gohan and Akane in the middle obviously taking the most weight because they are the strongest. On Ulah, shot of Serena straining. Helang light their torches on the log first and start to head back. Ulah isn’t too far behind.)

(Nene at the back begins to manoeuvre the torches into positions allowing the others to light them with ease. They start to increase their lead as Ulah start lighting their torches, as Julia is positioning them as well. However, as B.B.Hood pushes one, we see smoke coming from one of the torches…)

(Helang arrive first and Gary takes the first torch and goes to the totem pole. However, the thing won’t light. Tenchi takes advantage of this as Ulah reach their and using superior height, manages to get the torch on the totem pole to light before Gary does.)

Ulah: YESSSSS! (Shot of Helang looking dejected. Nene and Sakura look ready to cry.)

(However…)

Misato: Ulah, I am sorry to butt in like this, but if you turn around, you can clearly see that one of your torches isn’t lit.

(A shot to the torch which was smoking)

Misato: Therefore, you are disqualified…

Helang: YEEAAAAAH!

Misato: …and as we can guess, Helang are victorious and Ulah, we’ll be seeing you at your first Tribal Council.

(Ulah walks back totally down. Helang, their spirits uplifted)

* * * *

1.54pm.

(Misato VO: Helang’s turnabout victory has certainly raise the mood as they know they’re gonna survive for another 3 nights, but it’s back to business, and a more immediate problem has come. Food.)

Gohan: I’ve survived on the woods before, but then there was berries, apples and dinosaur steak for lunch. On an island with no fruit, we’re gonna have to hunt.

Genki: But what is there to hunt?

Gohan: Fish…and rats.

Sakura: Rats?

Gary: Damn.

(Nene: Although I’m not a fan of eating rodents, we don’t really have much choice with at the moment limited fishing equipment, and although Gohan has done a great job in swimming and getting us a few fish, it isn’t enough. So, I’ve devised a rat trap.)

Nene: If the tree wire keeps stable, then any rat in the night that wanders in will be trapped, and we’ll kill them in the morning.

(Sakura: Killing rats isn’t exactly the most pleasant thing to do in the morning, but for survival I will.)

(Whilst Nene, Sakura and Gohan are devising the rat trap, Genki and Vivi are talking by the beach)

Genki: What are you anyway? How can you survive with that get-up on in this heat.

Vivi: It was just how I was made. My friends have kept me going, even when I found out what I was related to…

Genki: Ah well, it shows that we’re not all perfect, I’ll see ya!

(Vivi: Genki is…annoying. I don’t usually get angry much but him trying to delve into past is a really sensitive issue, and it is something I don’t like talking about.)

(Genki: Vivi is strange. He has to be the first to go if we lose, I’m sure many of the others agree with me!)

* * * *

(Ulah tribe)

(Misato VO: Meanwhile, Ulah is starting to contemplate who to go for in tomorrow nights tribal council.)

(Julia and Chun-Li are going to the water hole.)

Julia: I didn’t think it would be this early, but I guess we’d better talk about eliminations.

Chun-Li: I guess. It’s just a bit difficult as I think we’re beginning to gel.

(Julia: I don’t think I’ll vote for Chun-Li as definite. Shinji is our chef so he has to stay, and Duo is our rat-catcher. The temptation is Serena or Davis.)

(Chun-Li: Julia thinks Serena and Davis may be weak links, but personally I’m freaked out by B.B.Hood. She wears a red cloak in this heat, and takes a hunting knife as a luxury item! I also think it may have been her fault at the immunity challenge as Julia was at the back and seeing what happened.)

Julia: I’m not sure. B.B.Hood is an unusual character, one minute, she’ll all peaceful and the next she a psycho!

Chun-Li: I know that Serena and Davis are a bit nuts, but not as nuts as she is.

Julia: But she is a decent fisher though, maybe we’ll see what others think before we vote.

Chun-Li: Yeah.

(Julia: Tenchi is probably the guy we trust the most, he is such a sweet young man, and very disciplined.)

(Chun-Li: He’s told us that he lives in a house with 4 single young women and he hasn’t been wooed by their advances. (snicker) I’ll give him credit for that that’s for sure. Seriously though, he’s been adopted as the leader, which could be a good or a bad thing for him.)

(On the beach, B.B.Hood is hunting for some fish, and Shinji is watching her.)

(Shinji: B.B.Hood reminds me of Asuka…but more scary if that’s possible!)

B.B.Hood: I can see you watching me, trust me, don’t.

(Shinji scatters away)

(B.B. Hood: I dunno who I’m gonna vote for tomorrow. Shinji is a wimp but he’s our cook, Davis is an annoying little b*tch but the biggest one is Serena. I’ll say that she’ll be gone tomorrow.)

(Meanwhile, some sort of alliance is going between Shinji, Duo and Tenchi.)

(Tenchi: I decided if there was a way to survive it was to be smart. An alliance is necessary and I’ve clicked with both Shinji and Duo quite well, and Julia and Chun-Li may also want to be in the alliance so we had a word from them after they returned…)

Julia: We’ve got to think about this. Either who do we dislike the most, who is the least useful or who could be the biggest threat?

Chun-Li; Well, if we’re going by threat, then either Tenchi and Duo.

(Tenchi and Duo sweatdrop as the girls laugh.)

Chun-Li: JUST KIDDING! Seriously, what do you think of the other three?

Shinji: Serena seems to be here for enjoying herself as does Davis. However, I’m sure they’ll both work when they want to, Davis did help us in the shelter quite a lot last night. B.B.Hood however just seems to be here to revile in her psycho tendencies.

Duo: She is a decent hunter, but she can be extremely dangerous.

Tenchi: On the other hand…

(We listen to Serena and Davis arguing)

Serena: WHY YOU STUCK UP LITTLE PRETTY BOY!

Davis: LOOK WHO’S TALKING YOU BOTTOMLESS PIT EXCUSE FOR A WITCH!

(The three Japanese boys sweatdrop.)

Chun-Li: I see what you mean. I guess we’ll sleep on it later. Right now, I think we’d better get some food.

Julia: (shouting) Miss Hood, have you got something yet?

B.B.Hood: (Gives a sweet smile before turning it into a glare)

Julia: Never mind.

(Overhead shot of the island)

* * * *

6.47 am. (Day 3)

Misato: The night is another long one for the two tribes, plagued by rats and the noises of the night. Ulah however have made their first catch thanks to Nene in the night and are up bright and early for breakfast.

(Shot of Nene with 2 dead rats in her snare)

Nene: I guess they’ll have to do. I think it’s some form of revenge for p*ssing us off last night.

(Gary starts skinning the rats and seeing how much meat they’ll be)

Sakura: This seems a bit sick.

Akane: I know it looks bad, but we have to do this.

(Gary starts a fire and moves the rats like a spit. After a while, Gary takes a small piece)

Gary: Hmm…it’s not bad. (starts cutting up pieces for all the members)

Akane: Hmm…it’s better than anything I make anyway!

Sakura: Rat a la Gary.

Nene: As long as it isn’t weasel…

Jubilee: I’m used to junk food myself…

Gohan: I’ve got to eat this for survival, even a super saiyan can die of hunger…

Vivi: Thank you Gary, this is nice.

Genki: Shame we couldn’t have roast chicken!

(Misato: As Helang enjoy a small victory breakfast, Ulah are coming to terms with last nights disappointment, and are starting to think even more about tonights elimination.)

(Julia wakes up as Tenchi is trying to get another fire started)

Tenchi: Morning Julia.

Julia: Hey Tenchi, you alright?

Tenchi: Yeah, just thinking about who to vote for now. I’ve slept on it, and I think I’ve made my decision, and I’ll talk to you and the others about it later.

Julia: O.K. (Walks off to do some stretching exercises)

(Tenchi: It’s not easy being on a stranded island with complete strangers, but considering that they’ve dropped at my doorstep and lived there before, I guess it isn’t that strange. However, you have to vote off one of your own, and I think most of us have quickly bonded.)

(Duo gets up, disappointed that no rats were caught)

Duo: I guess it’s rice for breakfast this morning.

Tenchi: Well, Julia and Shinji have been working on making a net from the stuff we got from the ship. We need it if we want to get some fish.

Duo: You and me both brother. (quieter) Have you thought who’s gonna go later?

Tenchi: (also quiet) Yeah. Talk to you later, don’t want to disturb anyone else.

Duo: O.K.

11.37 am.

(shot of Shinji and Julia working the wire, and creating some fishing lines and trying to tangle some of the wire into a net)

Shinji: It’s something to do and keep our minds off tonight.

Julia: I know, we’d better test them out soon though. We need some meat.

Shinj: (smiling) I thought Native Americans liked to preserve the animals.

Julia: (mock hitting Shinji): It’s survival dammit!

Shinni: O.K! O.K!

(Shinji: Out of everyone here, I get along well with most people, but especially Julia. She’s got a calm inside yet is not afraid to speak her mind. A combination of both Rei and Asuka, but on a nicer level.)

(Julia: Shinji is a sweet guy, his mind has been screwed up in the past but he’s here trying to remove all those problems, and the true self of him is finally coming out. On a more important note though, he’s our cook!)

(Shot of Duo and Tenchi walking up to them, as Chun-Li is walking back with some water.)

Tenchi: Have we decided?

Chun: Yep. It was tough, but yeah.

(Shot of B.B. Hood still carving, and then a shot of Serena sunbathing and Davis practising his soccer skills with his football, his luxury item. Which of these three has this alliance targeted?)

Duo: O.K, tonight we advance.

3.30pm.

(Misato: Without the pressures of Tribal Council, Helang take the opportunity to relax and get to know each other a bit better.)

Gary: I suppose he’s my friend, I’m pretty sure you’d like him Sakura, but he is also my rival.

(smiles) Weird, a couple of years ago I wouldn’t have said anything good about him. I must have matured.

Sakura: Hey, it shows that you have a heart Gary. My friend Li was like that at one point, and now (smiles) he seems much more open now.

Vivi: So Nene, how is it for you to be stranded here?

Nene: (mockingly) That’s Miss Nene to you, but since you asked, well, being myself free on an island is much different than being a Night Sabre…or the last time I was stranded on an island. It’s a bit…embarrassing even after you save the world when you’re butt naked and the only person with you is supposedly lesbian.

(sweatdrops all-round)

Vivi: Our world, they’re were people like myself burning down villages, killing people, it was horrible. We eventually found a village of them, but it still felt I didn’t belong. I found out that being with the people that accepted me as a person not as a doll was the true happiness I found.

Nene: Awww…..

Jubilee: I really don’t have much to say as I seem to be the weak link of the X-Men, WAAAHHHH! It’s not fair!

(Everyone laughs)

Gary: What about you Gohan? I’m sure you’ve got a few things to tell.

Gohan: Yeah, like since I was 4 basically I was seen to have some sort of power which increased whenever I got angry. Since then I’ve battles Saiyans, evil people trying to be gods and such, androids, aliens…it’s all too complicated to say in one day.

Akane: Well, let’s hope we don’t vote you off soon so you can tell them. (Gohan blushes as the others laugh) My life is mainly revolving around an arranged marriage to an aquatransexual and the fact that he is supposedly engaged to two other women, his father changes into a panda when he gets wet, and the only comfort I have is my pet pig, P-Chan.

Sakura: And what about you Gen…

(Genki is seen asleep. Everyone sweatdrops)

6.20pm.

(Ulah is just finishing a small but nice fish dinner courtesy of Julia and Shinji)

Serena: It seems that the net idea worked guys, that was great!

Julia: (bows) Thank you Serena, but Shinji did most of the work.

Shinji: (blushes) Er…well…

Duo: (slaps Shinji on the back) Ha, good on ya man!

Tenchi: We have to go soon, this is our last meal as a full tribe. One of us will go tonight…

Davis: So who you going to be plugging then?

(Tenchi remains silent as Serena hits him on the head)

Serena: You dork! He can’t tell you that, he’s voting for you tonight, it’s obvious!

Davis: Me, look who’s talking…

Chun-Li: Can we please have one less argument tonight please? I’d like some tranquillity before we leave…

(Davis and Serena shut up)

B.B.Hood: Thank you. It seems sad that one of us will leave…but then, one step closer to the bounty!

Shinji: What?

B.B.Hood: The money, idiot.

Shinji: (Is she related to Asuka somehow?)

Tenchi: (gets up) I guess we’d better get this over with. Come on guys, let’s get packed, we dunno who is gonna go.

(They start to pack, but whilst Davis and Serena aren’t looking, Tenchi gives a quick wink to Julia and Chun-Li, who give him a thumbs up in return)

7.00pm.

(Misato: The tropical storms could erupt any second, and for the Ulah tribe, it is an hour walk to tribal council. Stopping half way at the mud pit, they continue on packed and ready to see who is the first one to be eliminated.)

(Shinji comes out first and hits the gong. All 8 survivors go to their stools which have something towards them on it.)

B.B. Hood: Basket

Julia: Tomahawk

Chun-Li: Chinese Bracelet

Serena: Moon Sceptre

Shinji: Eva 1

Tenchi: Ryo-ohki

Duo: Gundam Deathstryke

Davis: Veemon

(Shot of Misato at the pedasal)

Misato: Well, Ulah tribe. This is your first night at Tribal Council. The first is usually the worst or the easiest depends on how you have gelled with your tribemates. So we’ll start. Tenchi, you are known to deal with mass people, how have you gelled with your new teammates?

Tenchi: (smiles) Fine, none of the females have tried to ask me out yet!

Duo: And that’s a bad thing? (laugh)

Tenchi: Seriously though, I think that I have enjoyed myself so far, a lot of the people here are great and it’s sad that one of them may go, or even if myself will go, as I dunno what’s gonna happen tonight.

Misato: Serena, how is it in an environment that you clearly haven’t been in before.

Serena: I think I’ve stayed mostly sane (glares at Davis) but I just wish there was a candy store nearby!

Misato: Hmm. Finally Duo, have you picked out who you’re gonna choose for the fact that he or she is a strong person and could win this, or because of a different reason.

Duo: I know who I’m voting for, but I can’t say why.

Misato: Very well. As this is the first council, and I’m the presenter, I’m gonna be biased and let Shinji vote first.

(small laughs as Shinji goes up and votes, but we don’t see the name)

(Serena goes up and writes ‘DAVIS’ on her parchment.)

Serena: You’re annoying, you’re useless and you snore like an elephant. Get out of here.

(Chun-Li goes up and votes ‘B.B.HOOD’ down)

Chun: You’re an unpredictable, sneaky and scary character. It is best if we get you out of the way as quickly as possible.

(Tenchi goes up and votes, and then we see Julia writing down ‘B.B.HOOD.’ down.)

Julia: I’m voting for Miss Hood for a number of reasons. She is very dangerous but at the same time, doesn’t seem to be sociable. Even Davis and Serena have done that.)

(Duo votes but we can’t see it. B.B.Hood goes up and votes ‘SERENA’.)

B.B.Hood: It seems a waste that the only way I can get rid of her is by voting her off.

(Finally, Davis comes down and votes ‘SERENA’)

Davis: Serena is making live hard for me that’s for sure, I dunno if she’ll go but it’s a warning.

(Davis puts it in the pot and Misato takes it from him.)

Misato: Davis, you are the last to vote, I’ll go count the votes.

(Misato pulls them out one at a time and reads the names.)

Misato: Serena.

(Serena looks shocked and quickly looks at Davis who has a calm look.)

Misato: B.B.Hood.

(B.B.Hood immediately looked around in psycho mode)

Misato: B.B. Hood

(Miss Hood is now slightly panicking and remembers that she put her knife in her bag)

Misato: Davis

(Davis simply smiles)

Misato: B.B.Hood

(Miss Hood head is unseen)

Misato: Serena

(Serena is now very surprised that someone else voted against her and is looking panicky to the point of crying)

Misato: That makes it 3 for B.B.Hood, 2 for Serena and 1 for Davis. The next vote is…B.B. Hood. The final vote doesn’t matter, but…it is also for B.B.Hood. Miss Hood if you could…calmly…take your torch up here.

(Miss Hood is walking with her torch as people are being wary of how dangerous she can be and extinguishers are at the ready. Even Misato looks nervous.)

Misato: B.B.Hood, you know that fire represents your life on this island, your life has now ended, will you extinguish your flame please?

(surprisingly, B.B.Hood is calm and puts it out without any hassle)

Misato: The tribe has spoken. You must leave.

(B.B.Hood nods and turns, a sweet smile on her face.)

B.B.Hood: Aw…and I never got to play my favourite game with you guys either, Murder in the Dark. (With that, she leaves as everyone breathes a sigh of relief.)

Misato: Well, the first victim has been chosen, and that makes it a thinking for you people on who voted for who. You have survived the first tribal council, return to your site and I’ll see you in the morning for the first reward challenge.

(Scene switches to B.B.Hood on her own talking to the camera.)

B.B.Hood: What happened? I dunno, did they see me as a threat, as someone who shouldn’t be here, or as a psycho?

(shot of Shinji with his vote, ‘B.B.HOOD’)

Shinji: It’s a simple case of seeing who I dislike the most. And you are that person.

B.B.Hood: I honestly thought I could do well. If I had the chance, I would rip out all their throats…but then again, I won’t. I want one of them to win, yay!

(shot of Duo, with this vote, ‘B.B.HOOD.’)

Duo: She’s dangerous.

B.B.Hood: Who could win this? I have to say Tenchi as a leader, or Duo as a survivor. The rest are wimps. But I’m not gonna hold a grudge, it’s time to return for more hunting for the wolf who killed grandma!

(final shot of Tenchi, with his vote, ‘B.B.HOOD.’)

Tenchi: There are 8 of us, and 5 of us are in an alliance, and 2 are just annoying. The remaining one is a plotter, a schemer, and very dangerous. She knows what’s she doing…B.B.Hood, nice knowing ya.)

(Scene flashing black and the words ‘DON’T TRUST ANYONE’ flashes on screen.)

* * * *

Misato VO: B.B.Hood seemed to settle in well to the problems of the island, but immediately

raised heat when Serena proves to be a better fisher. It was her mistake which cost the group immunity, and her unsociable ways were obvious to most of the group. That is why she was the first one to leave the island.

Next episode;

 

O.K, that’s the first chapter gone. And just in case, you just skipped to the end to see who voted for who, here was how it went.

B.B.Hood (5) Julia, Chun-Li, Shinji, Tenchi, Duo

Serena (2) B.B.Hood, Davis

Davis (1) Serena

I’m sure not too many people (this included D Marco) know much about some of my characters. I sure as hell hope you know who Gary, Sakura, Duo, Davis, Serena and Tenchi are. However, the games characters may be more difficult. B.B Hood (or Bulleta in Japan) was from the Darkstalkers series made my Capcom of Street Fighter Fame. She was basically a Little Red Riding Hood lookalike, complete with butterflies and dog when she battled….in her basket wasn’t a lunch, was practically a weapon collection to make Mousse look limited. Her apples for example aren’t for eating….BA BOOM!

Also, I’d like to point out when I started writing this (this time last year), as far as anime went, I was very limited. A native in the UK, let’s just say the anime market is rather pale compared to the US and Canada. Since then though, thanks to a company in the UK (and thanks to Arp as well, who recommended a number of titles…although he has ruined my financial year….^_^), my anime knowledge has strengthened, and hopefully you’ll see that in AAVGS2 coming soon. Here, I was just struggling for characters, if I was writing this now, Jubilee would have been replaced with someone from Nadesico or Battle Athletes for example.

B.B Hood however I probably would have kept, because her character is so much fun to write (cute girl in a cross between normal and psycho) and in the finale of the Chromus Production series, she’ll play a more important role than here.

For now though, just go to the next chapter….and find out who goes next…(although blind men could see who is going…)
