In the middle of a coffee place, two men were having a conversation. One of them was recognizable; Survivor host Jeff Probst. The other man was not. He was partially bald, with a beard and sideburns that were colored black, and had a scar through his right eye.
"Here's the list I complied as you asked, Probst," smirked the man, handing him a small list of names. Jeff read through the names throughly.
"Interesting choices. You are just going to enjoy watching Moses, Kasumi, Sindel, Anise, hell that entire T tribe looks amazing!" chuckled Jeff, "Limberg's really good, and so are Mario and Sonic. I'm skeptical of Bombette and Blaze... but overall, you picked out the best of the best, Jet Black."
Jet laughed a little, "Why thank you. I always had a keen eye for the best players. Have you figured out whom you wanted?"
Jeff nodded, "That I have. Let me first explain to everyone else, what we're doing." He turned to the camera, "This is Jet Black, he's a frequent host of Survivor that airs in a different part of the world, and after a couple cups of coffee, we decided to have a crossover; bring his players to me, and bring my players to him. The best choices we personally could make."
"That's right. I'm taking my new survivors to the Tropical Jungle, and Probst is taking his new survivors to the Orange Islands," explained Jet, "Right now, Probst will give his impressions on the new cast. Take a look."

Name: Light Yagami
Series: Death Note
Season/s and Placing: Survivor: Seireitei Forest / 3rd Place
Jeff's Assessment: I really like what Light has to offer to the game. He's an excellent strategist, and made all the moves his alliance and more importantly himself all the way into the final 3, where he lost majorly. I think this season his is true calling to the million.

Name: Gilbert "Prussia" Beilschmidt
Series: Hetalia
Season/s and Placing: Survivor: Axis vs. Allies / 4th Place
Jeff's Assessment: I think Prussia thinks highly of himself, and since he's not a true country, I believe Prussia will have something to prove. He betrayed his tribe to find his true calling, and when it was all said and done, they scrapped him. Prussia wants that million, and wants it bad.

Name: Ichigo Kurosaki
Series: Bleach
Season/s and Placing: Survivor: Hueco Mundo / 16th Place
Jeff's Assessment: Ichigo has a big attitude, and was exceptionally rude towards everyone he met in the game. I feel like Ichigo will bring a lot of attention to himself, but who knows if he learned anything the first time around. If he has, he could go far into the game.

Name: Loly Aivirrne
Series: Bleach
Season/s and Placing: Survivor: Xing / 3rd Place
Jeff's Assessment: I've heard a lot about Loly before, and I'm really looking forward to seeing her in the game, and just pissing everyone off. She's got both good and bad reasons to keep her around. She could be annoying enough to vote off, or annoying enough to bring to the end to beat her.

Name: Kenpachi Zaraki
Series: Bleach
Season/s and Placing: Survivor: Seireitei Forest / 11th Place and Survivor: Hueco Mundo / 9th Place
Jeff's Assessment: This is another one of those "Want the Leadership" guys. Honestly, what separates Kenpachi from all of those sorts of men is the fact that he's very violent, and a huge threat in challenges. He might be useful at the start, but then he'll be a target late in the game.

Name: Cynthia
Series: Pokemon
Season/s and Placing: Survivor: Shamouti Island / 2nd Place
Jeff's Assessment: Three seasons ago, we had Queen Sindel, but according to what Jet has explained, she is nothing compared to Cynthia. Cynthia is also a queen, but likes to think of herself as one, compared to Sindel, whom is a real queen. Cynthia... I just don't know what her fate will be. She's dangerous.
– – – – –
Name: Haruhi Suzumiya
Series: The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya
Season/s and Placing: Survivor: Seireitei Forest / 4th Place and Survivor: Xing / 4th Place
Jeff's Assessment: Haruhi is just one of those overbearing leaders, and quite frankly we haven't had one of those leaders go deep into the game, but Haruhi has made it to the Final 4 twice, but came short of the finals. Maybe it's her turn to win the game, and prove to the SOS Brigade that she is all that.
– – – – –
Name: Shinji Ikari
Series: Neon Genesis Evangelion
Season/s and Placing: Survivor: Feudal Japan / 9th Place
Jeff's Assessment: As I watched Feudal Japan, I just felt bad for Shinji. He put up with a lot of crap, and crap that he wanted to get rid of, but just didn't have the guts to do it. He ended up paying the price for it. Hopefully this time Shinji plays the game he wanted to play, and not someone else's.

Name: Sailor Mercury "Ami"
Series: Sailor Moon
Season/s and Placing: Survivor: Feudal Japan / 5th Place and Survivor: Hikawa Shrine / 4th Place
Jeff's Assessment: Ami is a tough, no nonsense woman, and being one of the senshi, I believe Ami will be a physical asset to her tribe, and will bring them far. My main concern about Ami is if she becomes too much of a threat, will she be booted earlier then she expects? We'll see.
– – – – –
Name: Alfred "America" Jones
Series: Hetalia
Season/s and Placing: Survivor: Axis vs. Allies / 3rd Place
Jeff's Assessment: Where do I start with America? He's very overbearing, he's very loud, and he's just entertaining to watch. I may be american, but America brings out all the stereotypes americans are usually. He made it to the end once, but didn't get a vote. Will this time be different?
– – – – –
Name: Cato
Series: Hunger Games
Season/s and Placing: Survivor: Panem / 6th Place
Jeff's Assessment: Cato is a mixed bag for me, honestly. He's a great ally, but if you aren't his ally, you are his worst enemy, and that should be a threat to anyone playing against him. He's participated in the Hunger Games, but this is Survivor, no one dies. Cato has something to prove.
– – – – –
Name: Sabrina
Series: Pokemon
Season/s and Placing: Survivor: Shamouti Island / 6th Place
Jeff's Assessment: Don't let that sixth place finish fool you; Sabrina has NEVER survived a single tribal council. Every time she'd come back, and get immediately voted off. That's just humiliating and just sad, quite frankly. I just hope Sabrina can prove herself to be the best of the best.
– – – – –
Name: Tatsuki Arisawa
Series: Bleach
Season/s and Placing: Survivor: Hueco Mundo / 4th Place
Jeff's Assessment: Tatsuki went through a lot of hell in Hueco Mundo, and she was just treated horribly by the men, which is why she wanted an all girls alliance to the end. Did she succeed? Of course she did, but she didn't get to the end, as she had a lot of votes against her. Tatsuki wants to prove herself.
– – – – –
Name: Olivier Armstrong
Series: Full Metal Alchemist
Season/s and Placing: Survivor: Xing / 11th Place
Jeff's Assessment: Olivier was a tough, tough lady. She was part of the great alliance known as SMOKY, and while that didn't last the whole game, she played a huge part in it, and due to the Incubator twist, Olivier was gone way too soon. She is back for blood, and she wants that win.
– – – – –
Name: Matthew "Canada" Williams
Series: Hetalia
Season/s and Placing: Survivor: Axis vs. Allies / 2nd Place
Jeff's Assessment: Canada is probably terrified about being put on a season with a bunch of nut jobs, most of them at least. He's definitely gonna hide in the background and stay invisible, which would hurt his game. Despite all that, I think Canada's one of my favorites, just because of his strategy actually working the way it did in Axis vs. Allies.
– – – – –
Name: Soi Fon
Series: Bleach
Season/s and Placing: Survivor: Hueco Mundo / 2nd Place
Jeff's Assessment: I don't know what to think of Soi Fon. She's definitely a determined woman, and has a cold exterior about her. I think she's a tough lady, and probably good at this game, and she came oh so close to winning that money. This time, Soi Fon wants to win badly.

"No returning players this season, technically speaking," chuckled Jeff, "They're all Survivor players, just not players I know from the past. I hope this crossover works out well, Jet. Good luck with your season."
"And I wish the same to you." smirked Jet, shaking Jeff's hand.
