Day 8: Tribe Tension

TRIBE IWATA

Morning arrives.

At the bottom of the pile of people in the wheelbarrow, Link awakens. He shifts a little bit, but finds that the weight of his comrades is not allowing for much movement. He puzzles over his situation for a moment, and decides he only has one option.

He manages to get a hand around to his bomb bag, and from it, produces a lit bomb. With a little whimper, he puts it under him, and braces for the blast.

The wheelbarrow explodes violently, its sides blowing out and the bottom falling through. The six castaways spill everywhere.

Jarred by the blast of the bomb, they are shocked from their stupors, and all are awake now.

Ganondorf shakes is head to clear the fuzziness.

GANONDORF: Guhhh...what has happened? How long have we been out? (He looks at the sun) Much time has passed... and we are short two members.

LINK: (Brushing off the soot) Where is the fair lady, and her two-dimensional lover?

FOX: I had the most wonderful dream...

MARIO: Maybe they-a eloped.

DONKEY: Hey everyone! Donkey find note!

They all crowd around Donkey's discovery. Fox reads the handwritten note.

FOX: "To my tribe - I regret having to write this and not tell you in person, but I had to leave quickly. Factors have arisen that have forced me to leave the game of Survivor. While you were all asleep, I accidentally exiled my love, Game and Watch, from this game. His departure left me empty, and as I mourned him, I was attacked by old comrades of mine. To make a long story short, I have business to attend to, and I must go. I will miss all of you, and I hope that you will allow my spirit to accompany you on the remainder of your adventure here. Goodbye -- Samus."

For a moment the tribe is silent. Ganondorf is the first to speak.

GANONDORF: We fall asleep, winning this game, we awaken, and we are behind. We must never again allow this to happen.

MARIO: Agreed.

Their new sense of teamwork formed, the tribe starts doing the daily chores.

Without warning, the arguing four members of the Miyamoto Tribe come crashing through the brush and find themselves in the other tribe's camp.

FALCO: Uh oh.

FALCON: What is it?

ZELDA: We're in the other tribe's camp.

FALCON: Oh...we should leave.

NESS: Yes, I think this might be against the rules or something...

FALCON: Wait! There's my helmet!

Indeed, there it was. It had washed up against the riverbank, and was resting near the Iwata Tribe's fishing equipment and bucket of live fish. Falcon runs over to retrieve it and his tribesmates whisper for him to hurry up. He replaces the helmet on his head and pulls a Falcon Pose.

FALCO: (whispering) Alright, now let's get out of here before someone finds us.

As if on cue, Ganondorf comes around the corner with some logs for the fire and sees the other tribe.

GANONDORF: Invaders! They come for the fish!

FALCON: No, this isn't what it looks like!

Ganondorf ignores his pleas and hurls a log at Falcon. It hits him square in the face and he flies through the air and into the river.

Fox and Link, who had heard Ganondorf's yelling, come running, and engage the other tribe.

Fox jump kicks at Zelda, who dodges and transforms into Sheik. She twirls and throws some needles at the mercenary, who knocks them away with the back of his hand. He Fire Foxes at Sheik, who deftly dodges and lands a karate chop to Fox's spine. He gasps and falls to the dust. Ganondorf charges up a Warlock Punch towards the stunned Falco, but Captain Falcon bursts over from the river's edge and Falcon Punches him faster. Ganondorf is sent screaming through a tree, which comes down on top of the tribe's shelter. As the rest of the tribe returns and stares in horror at the destruction of their camp, Falcon, Ness, Zelda, and Falco escape into the woods.

TRIBE MIYAMOTO

The escapees run into camp, where they collapse, huffing and puffing exhaustedly.

Kirby, still containing Bowser, waddles over, his stomach making disgusting sloshing noises.

KIRBY: What happened?

FALCO: We accidentally destroyed the base of the other tribe...

FALCON: But we found my helmet!

KIRBY: Well, you're just in time. We got some tree mail. We have a challenge in about an hour. We think it has something to do with balancing.

FALCON: Well, we had better get going then. I hope they're not too mad about that little misunderstanding...

REWARD CHALLENGE

JEFF: Well...I sense a little animosity here (confused crew members are holding back Tribe Iwata from killing the other tribe) what happened?

GANONDORF: They demolished our base and tried to steal our food!

FALCO: No, no, no. You've got it all wrong!

LINK: We don't have to listen to your lame excuses, foul bird-man! Prepare for defeat!

JEFF: Alright, let's just get to the challenge. It's a simple game of… what's wrong with him?

Kirby is turning funny colors and has a strange grimace on his face. Sweat is pouring off of him.

LUIGI: Oh no…

The obvious happens, and it's fairly disgusting. Bowser returns, in a stinky explosion.

BOWSER: RWAARRRR! Finally I escape his bowels!

Everyone covers their nose. A crewman vomits.

Kirby is deflated and folds, falling to the ground. Bowser remains smelly.

JEFF: Well, I suppose you'll be sitting out Kirby then. As I was saying, this is a game of King-Of-The-Hill, except while balancing on this beam. (He gestures toward a long beam suspended over the water) Each team will send up a member to do battle with the other team's candidate, and whoever falls off first loses. The winning team gets a point. It's best out of five, so pick your first member and let's get going.

Match 1: Bowser vs. Donkey Kong.

They inch towards each other on the beam. It sways in the wind, and the two behemoths fight to keep their balance. They soon get close enough, and start to plan. Donkey swings his long ape arm at Bowser, who pulls back and stands his ground. Donkey advances slowly, but Bowser stays stock still, playing defensively. Donkey fakes high, but goes low with a sweep of his arm. Bowser's mighty fist clamps down on the ape's arm, and flings him off the side.

JEFF: One point for Miyamoto!

Bowser celebrates.

Match 2: Peach vs. Zelda.

The two princesses face off in the middle. Peach takes out her umbrella and begins to poke at Zelda with it. Zelda knocks it aside and lunges at Peach. Peach goes into a limbo position and Zelda flies right over her, landing hard on the beam. Peach turns around and nudges her off with her foot. As she jumps up and down, Zelda sulks in the water.

JEFF: Tied at one!

Match 3: Fox vs. Falcon.

Falcon gives a warcry and runs straight down the beam at full speed. Fox sees this tactic and does the same. They meet in the middle, where Falcon goes into a slide, cutting out Fox's legs. He flies awkwardly and misses the beam, falling into the drink.

FALCON: Those are your moves?

JEFF: Miyamoto up, two-one!

Match 4: Ganondorf vs. Ness.

Ness just jumps into the water.

NESS: Sorry guys.

FALCO: We understand.

JEFF: Tied at two… last match!

Last Match: Link vs. Falco

They just stand there staring, trying to figure each other out. Hours pass. Day turns to night. Still they stare intently at each other, each calmly quiet. Then, Falco's eyelids start to get heavy. For a split second they close. In that exact moment, Link deftly throws his boomerang. It soars in an arc, sailing around to meet Falco. It smashes him upside the head and knocks him end over end off the beam and into the water.

Link celebrates.

JEFF: Iwata wins!

The tribe jumps up and down, hugging each other. Falco swims ashore, his head down. His tribe pats him on the back and tells him it's ok.

JEFF: And now for the reward.

Jeff pulls out a small grub.

PEACH: What is it?

JEFF: All I can tell you is this: try using it as bait.

They take it warily and head back to camp.

JEFF: Well, Tribe Miyamoto, I hope you'll do better tomorrow at the immunity challenge, or someone may be sent packing.

They grumble and stalk off into the night.

[Almaz]

The feeling...IS BACK!

9.8/10. DK just has opposible toes, so I expected something with a supossed dive, flip, and Giant Punch. But otherwise, it was awesome.

[Celeste Dimentia]

I don't mean to sound desperate for attention... but I wish I could receive some more user comments, like I did earlier on. I miss them - I want to see what more people think too. Oh, and I'll try to do the next chapter as soon as I find the time.

[Tails Doll]

Well, all I can say is I wasn't expecting a potty humor from Kirby. Shame on you, Kirby! You deserve Geo-Magic into your throat! I really think now this is far more than just some reality show with Nintendo characters, and when I read the first part, thats all I though it was. You really gave me a blast!
Oh yeah, and Mewtwo's leaving changed alot. I dunno how, but if you get rid of the creator of Wikipedia, everybody changes. Yes, Mewtwo made Wikipedia.

[Almaz]

Yeah, add more emphisis on the game itself than character development. I don't care if you have the deepest characters ever if the overall story misses its mark completely! This is SURVIVOR, a land of deep challenges, alliances, betrayls, brawn, brain, whining, improvements, food-searching, rewards that make quite a difference (Chocolate Bar?), and an extremely dramatic Tribal Counsil. Here are a few things I think could make this better:

1. Character Traits: Not all characters are created equal. I think you demonstrated this with Mewtwo well, but what of the other villans, Ganondorf and Bowser? What of DK's ability to use a gun made out of trees and coconuts? What of Kirby's ability to infinately fly? What of Luigi's social awkwardness and commonly wet pants? Peach's sex appeal? Fox and Falco's mercenary experience (especially for Fox)? The only ones I think you hit the nail on the head are Mario and Zelda (and, of course, the ones that you already voted off) who are an idiot who does stuff on random and a war between two minds, respectively. Ness is meh.

2. More Intelect: I know most of these people are idiots, but Mewtwo ISN'T the only brain in the world (and not just him and Mother Brain, either). How have Bowser and Ganondorf almost taken over the entire world? I think they have a little more mind power than we give them credit for.

3. Alliances/Betrayls: This is Survivor's heart and soul. Make alliances right before Tribal Counsil, get the viewer ready to know who gets voted off, and then...stab a character right in the back!

4. Challenge Upgrades: This goes slightly with character traits. Use those traits to their (dis)advantage and REALLY think them out. King of the Pole isn't that exciting, nor was Rock, Paper, Scissors. Just get a really good handle on each challenge, instead of tiredly throwing them out (and I know how easy that is, I'm still completing my Mario version of The Amazing Race).

5. Guest Characters: While not extremely important, guest characters make all the difference. Pikachu, Yoshi, Jigglypuff...these characters are ones on the top of my head that I really don't know why they weren't included. Yoshi races? Pikachu invasion? Jigglypuff concert? King K. Rool's pirate bombardment? Bowser Jr trying to rescue his mama for his papa? The list goes on!

Just take some of my suggestions to heart. I don't want you to stop the poddy humor- just don't make it the heart of the story.

[Celeste Dimentia]

Thanks for the comments and suggestions. Here is the next chapter!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Day 9: Friends Again

TRIBE IWATA

They return to camp in the early morning, tired but happy from their victory. All are ready for a good long nap, but their intentions are halted when they remember upon arrival that their camp had been destroyed.

Mario sinks to his knees and cries.

MARIO: Why-a? We never-a do any-a-thing to them!

GANONDORF: (puts a hand on Mario's shoulder) First, we rebuild. Then...we retaliate.

A smile crosses the collective face of the Iwata Tribe.

They begin the long process of moving the collapsed tree, and reconstructing their shelter.

Fox eventually gets tired and has a sit. As he catches his breath, he notices the small grub in the tupperware container that Jeff rewarded them with.

...Try using it as bait.....

FOX: Hmmm.

Fox gets up and walks over to it. He pops the lid off and notices that the grub smells strange, almost tasty. He has the sudden urge to gobble it up. He shakes his head and those thoughts leave him. He warily picks the strange thing up and gets the fishing pole, all the while his eyes locked on the little white sack of yuck.

Fox makes his way down to the river and sits on the designated fishin' stump. He carefully readies the hook...and jams it into the grub. A thick odor spews from it and Fox is suddenly giddy with the desire to eat the miniscule thing. He slaps himself across the face and quickly casts.

Maybe a second after the grub hits the water, a fish roughly the size of a Buick jumps from the deep, a cavalcade of water soaking the stunned Fox. His line leads into the creature's mouth. Its mammoth form descends from its twenty-foot jump and impacts the earth near Fox. It shrieks and yowls like something from a child's worst nightmare, and flops around in shock.

The other tribesmates hear and see the gargantuan fish, and drop their work to come running.

Fox stands there, unsure what to do exactly. The fish ceases its flopping suddenly and Fox wonders if it's dead. He pokes at it with the fishing pole. Without warning, the fish's tail slaps Fox with great force, and he rolls across the rough terrain.

Ganondorf catches him, and Fox passes out.

The tribe whispers to each other for a second and then make for the fish.

It tries to defend itself as Mario fireballs it in the face. Ganondorf and Donkey Kong sneak up on its side and let fly with charged punches. Its sides fold in and it wheezes loudly. Link descends from the sky and lands on its head. He fires an arrow into the flesh of its cranium and jumps off. It howls for a moment and dies spectacularly.

They all stand there looking at each other for awhile, and then celebrate the great bounty of food they have recieved.

TRIBE MIYAMOTO

The tribe trudges back to the base. They are glad to see their veritable palace of a shelter looming on the horizon.

FALCON: Well, none of us got any sleep so we should probably rest up for the immunity challenge today.

KIRBY: Dibs on the hot tub.

FALCO: I don't think so, Pinky.

NESS: I'll beat both of you!

They break out running for the camp.

The other four hang back and talk about the state of the tribe.

FALCON: Y'know, we lost today, but really, it was just a grub. How valuable could it be?

BOWSER: Yeah, really. If I had known that, I wouldn't have put so much effort into it.

SHEIK: And I'm sure Falco wouldn't have stood there for hours.

They laugh.

LUIGI: Do-a you think we have a chance in this-a thing?

FALCON: I think lately, we've pulled together as a team somewhat. I think if we can just keep it together team-wise, then yeah.

ZELDA: Definitely.

FALCON: Seriously, we make a good team.

SHEIK: We're untouchable!

Screams are suddenly heard from the fortress. They come running, and the scene they come upon kills any good feeling.

Mewtwo stands at the pinnacle of the wooden fort, a psychic storm brewing around him. Debris swirls in a tempest of great fury, and the gale pushes the Survivors backwards. Ness, Kirby and Falco have been knocked to the ground and the others help them up.

MEWTWO: You...YOU! You fools ousted me and ruined my reputation! Now, you will REAP IT! PREPARE TO DIE!!!

TRIBE IWATA

Their camp now in some semblance of order, the Iwata Tribe turns to their next objective: vengeance.

They have lunch, suit up, and head off in the direction of the other camp, fire in their eyes.

As they march, Mario has some doubts.

MARIO: Don't-a you think this sort of thing could-a be against the rules?

LINK: Then let them stop us. We must even the score, plump one.

MARIO: Oh.

FOX: I wonder where Samus is right now...

...Somewhere far away, Samus wraps her smooth arms around Joanna Dark's neck and wrenches sideways, snapping her spine.

FOX:... I'm sure she's keeping busy.

Clouds cover the sky, transforming the bright day to an early dusk. A drop of rain falls from the sky, then two more. Soon it is pouring.

GANONDORF: Ahh, this revenge will be the sweetest of all. Their grand shelter will be nothing but ash when we are through with it!

PEACH: Yesss... Asshhhh... Killl!

Mario looks at her, a little afraid.

As they draw near, they see a great purple haze around their target, and soon they see the whirlwind surrounding the camp.

FOX: Uh...I got a bad feeling about this...

They reach the base, and the spectacle is quite astounding.

The Miyamoto Tribe is locked in combat with Mewtwo, who sits atop the ever-crumbling fort, fending off the Survivors with psychic blasts. Lightning strikes behind him and his evil is illuminated in the dark.

Captain Falcon jumps at the Pokémon, but is sent flying, crashing near the feet of the would-be invaders.

FALCON: Help...us...

Falcon extends his hand.

For a moment, there is no response, but then Ganondorf takes it, and pulls the bounty hunter to his feet.

GANONDORF: Alright tribe! Let's do this!

They jump into the fray. Mewtwo is momentarily thrown off guard. Ganondorf leaps up behind him and wraps him up. The Pokémon teleports out of his grip and appears atop another spire of the fort. He sends a Shadow Ball back at the Gerudo. Ganondorf backflips away as the Shadow Ball explodes upon impact with the tower, sending splinters of tree in every direction. He falls the full height of the tower, and lays in the dust. Mario and Luigi jump up and engage in battle. Mewtwo mind-throws Luigi into Mario and they both rocket into the recreation area of the fort. The impact of them flying fully through the building brings that entire section to the ground in a storm of lumber. Donkey Kong leaps forward and Charge Punches the support of the second spire, and it sways. Mewtwo falls off and Falco and Fox let fly with their blasters. The bolts are deflected, and Mewtwo lands deftly on the ground. Peach capitalizes upon this moment and smashes Mewtwo across the face with her Frying Pan. He tumbles over to a waiting Sheik, who wraps the Pokémon up in her chain. Before he can escape, Ness is upon him, blocking his psychic powers with his own abilities.

NESS: Now!

All of the Survivors move in on Mewtwo, creating a circle of pain for the helpless creature. Falcon Punches, Fireballs, Blasters, Golf Clubs, Wizard's Foot and more are all unleashed in succession and Mewtwo recieves a beating the likes of which have never been seen.

He finally falls, and the grand battle of Day 9 is done.

The two tribes stand and say nothing as crewhands drag the unconscious, brutalized pulp of Mewtwo away.

FALCON: So. I take it we're even now?

GANONDORF: I would say so, bounty hunter.

They shake hands.

GANONDORF: Then it is time for us to depart.

KIRBY: Take it easy.

LINK: Fare thee well.

JEFF: (comes running) Wait! We still have to do the challenge!

FALCO: What?

JEFF: It's Day 9. Time for an Immunity Challenge. Today, you will fight a bitter tug-of-war battle Royale! It's gonna get ugly.

FOX: Nah, I really don't think we can do that.

DONKEY: No. We're all friends now!

JEFF: Wha- what? You can't...but I...WELL SOMEONE HAS TO GO!

LUIGI: We'll-a do it this time, you guys can go back.

LINK: No, green man, I must insist. We shall take the tribal council.

There is a pause.

BOWSER: Why don't we just flip a coin?

JEFF: (sighs) You know, people sit down for hours on end, coming up with these elaborate challenges! Why? Why do you always have to ruin it?

MARIO: (produces coin) Okay. Heads Miyamoto, tails Iwata. (he flips)

Shigeru Miyamoto's ever-smiling face shows on the coin.

MARIO: Sorry guys.

ZELDA: It's alright.

JEFF: Sheesh. Alright let's go to...

TRIBAL COUNCIL

JEFF: Alright, you know the rules. Let's get this show on the road. I've got a hot date tonight. Kirby, you're up.

Kirby writes Zelda/Sheik on the paper and puts it in the pot.

KIRBY: It's just a hassle with the whole switch-a-roo deal. Kinda creepy...but strangely erotic. I don't like it.

Falcon is next. He scribbles Falco's name.

FALCON: Uh, I think you're kinda cocky, and also kind of lazy. You could do more around camp. Oh and our names are too similar. It's confusing the readers.

No other votes are shown.

JEFF: Once the votes are read yadda, yadda, yadda, you gotta go. Okay.

First Vote...Falco

Second Vote...Falco

Third Vote...Sheik

Fourth Vote...Zelda

Fifth Vote...Falco

Sixth Vote...Zelda/Sheik

And finally...the third person voted out of Survivor: Super Smash Brothers...

...Falco Lombardi.

Falco sighs and, with his head down, brings his torch forward.

JEFF: Falco...the Tribe has spoken. (he puts out Falco's torch)

FALCO: Bye bye.

He gets some hugs. Zelda jumps up and kisses him, and Falco sullenly walks away.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Working on Day 10 already. Thanks for reading!

[Piccolo the Pixl]

FALCON: Uh, I think you're kinda cocky, and also kind of lazy. You could do more around camp. Oh and our names are too similar. It's confusing the readers.

XD

[Almaz]

Awesome. The Mewtwo Fight completely made up for a lack of challenge!

I'll give it a 9 with my new, completely unbiased reviewer's personality. It'd be nice to see the Tug-O'-War go on, but no one wants to pull...until one person is revealed as the betrayer.

[Almaz]

Why is there an eerie, one-day silence every time I rate something?

[Tails Doll]

Well, Ciao Falco! Oh, and I did wanna see some Tug-O-War Action, but the story is far more important.

You know, people sit down for hours on end, coming up with these elaborate challenges! Why? Why do you always have to ruin it?
I know who that was aimed to.

[Celeste Dimentia]

Here's the next chapter, mates.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
DAY 10: Disaster

MIYAMOTO TRIBE

Dejectedly, the remaining six members of the Miyamoto Tribe turn to their ruined camp. They mill about the smoldering destruction, searching for their belongings.

Kirby sits down and bawls. Bowser pats the little guy on the back and returns to digging his bedding out from the charred remains.

After a while, they erect a haphazard makeshift mini-shelter, just to last them the night. They set the food and cooking supplies next to the small fire started near the beds, and hit the sack.

The shining moon rules the night as Zelda, Kirby, Bowser, Luigi, Captain Falcon and Ness sleep awkwardly.

Sheik suddenly sits up with a start. Her heart is pounding beneath her ninja garb. She looks at her tribesmates and wonders which three of them voted for her. She shakes her head, and lies back down.

She finds it difficult to sleep, however, as a scratching sound persists near the fire. She sits up again and sees a horde of bugs by the fire, making for the rice barrel.

Sheik yelps quietly and jumps to her feet. She races over to the strange, thieving bugs and starts stomping on them. They refuse to die, and persist in milling around the rice.

Suddenly, they all move back, as if they were one being. From a few feet away, they stare at her intently.

SHEIK: (whispering) Go away!

They sit, their antennae cocked inquisitively.

Suddenly they move, swirling as one form, piling on top of one another and linking together to make a large, humanlike form.

SHEIK: What the...

The bug-man attacks her and drives her to the ground. She is unable to fight back, as the hundreds of bugs somehow keep her down. The insects in the bug form's midsection leap out quickly and then spring back repeatedly, punching Sheik in the gut. Soon all of its surfaces are doing this, and Sheik is defeated. She lies, battered and bruised, next to the small fire.

The bugs disconnect from each other and skitter to the rice. They hoist the barrel above their miniscule bodies and march off into the wood.

TRIBE IWATA

Content with their victory, Mario, Peach, Link, Fox, Ganondorf and Donkey Kong arrive at their camp and plop down on their bedding.

They immediately zone out, with the exception of Donkey Kong, who is finding it difficult to drift off. Something about the camp is... strange. He lays there, trying desperately to figure it out. He feels that something doesn't smell right and tries to pinpoint it. Suddenly, he gets it.

DONKEY: 'Nana!

Yes, Kong figures out that the familiar smell of a banana is lurking around the camp, and his mouth waters copiously.

He decides that sleep shall remain secondary until the sweet yellow fruit is found.

He wanders around the camp, snorting heavily. He comes upon a set of trees, and senses it nearby. The scent wafts down from the top of one of the trees.

He finds the tree in question and scales it excitedly. At the very top, he spies his bounty. The shiny yellow morsel gleams in the moonlight. He snatches it greedily and stuffs it down his throat.

Something is wrong!

The banana makes him feel... strange. The rational Donkey Kong disappears, and in his place, the primal, feral beast emerges.

He snuffles apishly and jumps down from the tree. He studies the landscape for a moment, then notices Princess Peach.

Something clicks inside him, and he makes for her sleeping form.

He gathers her up in his arms and makes off into the woods.

MIYAMOTO TRIBE

All of the Miyamotos are still asleep as Zelda remains unconscious near the fire.

A lone spark leaps from the crackling fire and lands on Zelda's dress. The resulting fire roars with lightning speed, disintegrating her clothes, then spreading to the tribe's only affects. It toasts everything, and then catches on a piece of bedding. There is a flash, and all of the beds are gone from under the Tribe. They fall a few inches to the bare ground.

None awaken.

A small crack appears in the ground. A puff of dust is exhumed from it, and it begins to widen. Almost instantaneously, the ground of the campfire and sleeping area sinks into the earth a good twenty feet, forming a sheer pit, with the castaways sleeping peacefully in a pile on the bottom.

Back at ground level, a piece of the rubble from the destroyed Miyamoto palace shifts. Much of the debris is jarred loose, and tumbles over the opening of the pit, sealing it shut.

Lightning strikes and a very leafy branch falls over the rubble, concealing any sign of the pit.

A pride of lions come across the camp and decide it would make a good home. They set up around the invisible sinkhole.

Killer bees start to build a honeycomb in the tree.

And it starts to rain again.

In the pit, Falcon wakes up to a pinprick of first morning's light trickling through the thick ceiling of wood and leaf.

FALCON: Uh... whose boob do I have my hand on?

ZELDA: *screams*

TRIBE IWATA

A shrill scream from far off awakens the Iwatas.

MARIO: Peach!

He gets up, and starts off running in the direction of the shriek.

The others get up less eagerly, rubbing their eyes and groaning. Ganondorf looks at the sun.

GANONDORF: Five O'Clock in the evening! We hath grossly overslept!

LINK: Come, nemesis, let us aid the plumber.

They go off running after him.

FOX: Hey, where's Donkey Kong?

They all come through the brush to a clearing, where Donkey Kong stands atop some sort of ancient temple-like structure, with the screaming Peach in his arms. The fire of a mad creature burns in his eyes.

Mario is at the base, looking up at the tall structure. He gathers his courage, and begins to run up the side.

Kong tears a large, cylindrical cement block from the pyramid and hurls it at the stout plumber. He jumps over it and continues up the side. From a small fire next to the insane simian springs a small red flame with eyes. It begins to travel down the sides of the structure at the beleaguered Mario. It burns him, and he tumbles off of the temple; he is caught by Link.

LINK: Are you all right?

MARIO: Ow! Not as good as-a I used to be.

Donkey Kong cries in apish fury, and begins to put Peach's head into his gaping jaws. She cries out and faints.

FOX: What do we do?!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

[Para]

Haha. Mario tried to go all Jumpman on Donkey Kong.
