Here's Chapter 17! The Bonus Chapter! Enjoy!
Remember the seaside resort where Tiny held the reunion? That was the real world. That was right. The contestants and their friends and families came all the way from their nodes to come into the real world where authors and artists lived for the big finale. Where else they go to plan all of their events?
Tiny stretched his arms in a bored fashion as he sat in a chair inside of a small room. Next to him was an empty chair. Also, front of him was a table with a projector on it and a large white blank screen.
The dark-skinned young man growled as he looked at the clock on the wall.
"Where is he? He was supposed to be here four minutes ago!" He said annoyed.
Almost as if on cue, the door sprang open. Tiny turned to the doorway to see a man resting his hands on his knees panting heavily trying to get his wind back. He instantly recognized the patchwork jacket and camo pants anyway.
"There you are, Ace!" Tiny said sighed in hopelessness.
"Sorry I was late, kid." The brown-haired man said taking a deep sigh. "I ran into a crowd of my fans and they asked me for an autograph!"
Tiny shook his head with a sigh. "Figures..."
"Hey. It's not my fault! They practically FORCED books into my face!" Ace pointed out waving his hand in front of his face.
Tiny raised an eyebrow before smirking. "You don't seemed too happy. The majority of the fans must be men."
Ace's eyes widened before he growled. "What is THAT supposed to mean?"
Tiny chuckled. "Come on, man. I was only messing with ya. So want to do this?"
Ace gave a small sigh before smiling. "Sure, kid. Why not? I always wanted to see the cast release of Survivor before anyone else."
"Well, seeing that you are the winner." Tiny said with a smirk. "Be prepared to see the cast release of a lot of seasons in the future."
Ace's eyes widened. "You were thinking of doing more than one season?"
Tiny nodded. "Yeah. I will only start planning on them when I finished this second season."
"Makes sense." Ace shrugged. "I hear that you will be referred to as to just Tiny? Why?"
"Because on Fanfiction, Tinyrocket's my name but on Deviantart, TinyHAMMER'S my username." Tiny said.
"Really?" Ace asked surprised.
"Yeah. A couple of my watchers are on Deviantart so I decided to post the season on both sites." Tiny nodded.
Ace smirked. "The more sites, the more popularity."
"You can say that." Tiny chuckled. "Now shall we go to the cast release?"
"Dude. I thought you'll never ask." Ace said rubbing his hands together.
Tiny happily nodded as he grabbed a remote on the side of his chair and pointed it at the screen.
"So I heard you chose fan characters this time around?" Ace asked.
"Yeah. A couple of my friends said they were easier to write for than canons because they don't have a set personality." Tiny said with a grin. "I think I really outdid myself with the choices this time around."
"Then, what are you waiting for, kid?" Ace said sharing the same grin. "Turn it on!"
Tiny smirked as he pushed the button on the remote instantly turning on the screen and showing the castaways in alphabethical order.
The first contestant was a pink alligator with green eyes. She wore a white sleeveless dress, with sandals and an Alice Brand that had a white flower on the right side of it. She looked a little nervous.
Allison/19/Sonic The Hedgehog
"And we start off with this season's Fuuka." Ace said with a grin. "Aka the quiet, nice, shy, frail girl who is hoping that she isn't the first person voted out of the game."
"Yeah, that is what I said when I cast her." Tiny nodded. "But Allison is a bigger asset to her tribe than I gave her credit for. I just hope everyone sees that. Especially herself."
With that, he pushed the same button on the remote going to the next castaway. Another female, this time human. She had a full head of short brown hair and blue eyes. She wore a light pink sleeveless shirt, a blue skirt with black shorts underneath and brown shoes.
Amanda/26/Sam & Max
Ace couldn't help but look in awe. "Whoa... What a beauty. Is that her current node?
"Steady there, boy." Tiny said rolling his eyes. "Now, Amanda has a very big personality and is not only responsible for a lot of entertainment but also one of the biggest events of the game."
He then pushed the button switching the green. The next one was a young cheery girl with round glasses over her clear blue eyes. Her long hair had been done in two pigtails as she wore a green beret and a matching sleeveless shirt over her light green shirt with brown shoes. Around her shoulder to her waist was an orange sash with badges all over it.
Becky/14/Captain Planet
"A girl scout. From Captain Planet. On Survivor." Ace said flatly. He then sighed. "She ain't lasting too long."
"Now don't count out Becky just yet. She had lots of experience in the wilderness and that makes her quite the asset to her team." Tiny explained. "But yeah. You're right. Her girl scout loyalty will get her in trouble."
Finally, the two go to the first male contestant. He was a young man with brown hair. His outfit was plain with only a white button-up shirt, blue trousers and brown shoes. Also, he had a brown chest holster and a very confident smirk on his face. Too confident for some people's taste.
Bryan/21/Phoenix Wright
Ace grunted in disgust. "I know this sounds harsh but just by looking at this guy's picture already makes me hate him."
"If you hate him now, then you should heard the stuff he said about you and the other contestants of your season." Tiny said shaking his head. "Bryan ain't no fool, though. He has a very interesting strategy to play the game.
With that, Tiny went to the next Survivor which made Ace jump. She was a young lady with long black messy hair, grey eyes a light grey sweater, blue jeans and brown shoes. She had a stoic look on her face.
Caroline/19/House Of The Dead
"Now, Caroline's friends and family had been killed by zombies during the events of the second game." Tinyrocket explained sadly. "Because of that, she now has a stoic presence and unsociable personality but also a stern will and "never-say-die" attitude."
"Whoa, that's deep." Ace said sympathetically. "I hope she does well."
Tiny nodded as he pushed the button showing the next contestant. This time, a yellow-furred dog-like woman with a very peppy face with black eyes.. Her wore a long-sleeved grey shirt with a red sleeveless dress over it, red shoes and light green ribbons on her ears.
Dormie/23/Suikoden 3
Ace blinked twice before nudging Tiny's rib with elbow while smirking. "Trying to replace me and Barn, eh?"
"Ha ha. Very funny." The host snapped slapping the elbow away. "Dormie said it herself that she cared about following in your footsteps. All she cares about is having as much fun and making as many friends as possible."
He then went to the next castaway. For the second time, it was a male. He was a human with hazel eyes, short brown hair and a bright grin on his face. His attire consists of a grey long-sleeved shirt under a white sleeveless shirt with a picture of a Medievil dragon on it, matching grey pants and boots.
Franklin/27/Eternal Champions
"Now, while completely different, Franklin's goal in Survivor is somewhat similar to Dormie's." Tiny explained before shaking his head. "He made it his prime purpose to vote off everyone he deems a villain so someone deserving would win.
Ace blinked twice before scratching his hair. "Why... Am I suddenly reminded of Fred Maximillian?"
Tiny shrugged as the two watched the screen change. This time to a much larger and muscular man with brown slightly-spike hair. He wore a green jacket, a white shirt, blue jeans and brown boots. Not only his build was intimidating but his brown eyes as well.
Greg/35/Kingdom Hearts
"Whoa. Safe to say that he was a regular visitor at the gym." Ace said in awe. "And his stare's pretty intimidating to. That's a poker face if I ever saw one."
"Yeah, at first glance, Greg does look very scary." Tiny said. "But talking to him, I found that he is a very nice guy. Hopefully, his tribe will see that."
With that, he put the button going to the next contestants. It was a brown female smiling owl who looked a little overweight. She had huge brown eyes while wearing a white shirt with a red vest and black trousers.
Helen/53/Animal Crossing
Ace continued to look at the picture with a blank look. "Um... Would I sound like a jerk if I just say she would be an early boot?"
"Yes. But... I kinda told myself that when I first saw her." Tiny said scratched his cheek. "But while talking to her, I learned that Helen got a lot of spunk and enthusiasm for her age. Let's see if she got the skill for it."
Tiny pushed the button flipping the screen and showing another castaway. She was a young woman with long beautiful brown hair and blue eyes. Her attire consists of a yellow short-sleeved dress with a cyan bow around her waist and matching ballet shoes. She had a very snobby look on her face.
Karen/18/Ouran Host Club
"Remember Hank, Calvin and Lucy? I cast those three for the sole purpose of causing as much conflict as they can." Tiny smirked. "Karen is no different. She never had a honest day's work in her life, she despises commoners and consider herself better than them AND Survivor would be her first experience in the real world."
Ace shook his head. "I already feel sorry for the poor saps who get put on the same tribe as her."
Tiny nodded as he went to the next person. He was a man with brown hair, grey eyes and a confident smirk. He wore a grey hooded sweater with a blue leather vest over it, blue jeans and brown shoes. Ace couldn't help but notice the black feathery wings on his back.
Peter/30/Castlevania
"A Castlevania fan-character? On Survivor?" Ace asked flatly. "If he sparkles, don't be too surprised if the Twilight-haters stop watching this season."
"Ha ha. Relax. He is a shape-shifter demon. Not a vampire. There is a big difference." Tiny said rolling his eyes. "Now, I told Peter not to use his wings in the Challenges but I don't think that will be a hindrance to him. He is quite strong. However, they are people more stronger than him. I could easily see him in the finals.
With that, he went to the next character and once he did, Ace jumped. Because the next contestant was a large and muscular man like Greg. However, he had brownish-red skin, short fiery hair, red eyes and black ram horns on his head. Also, with that, he had a red tank-top, black jeans, a gold necklace with matching bracelets, dark sunglasses on top of his head. and a sinister grin on his face.
Red/Unknown/Looney Tunes
"Okay. Here I am thinking that he is a big scary demon who would be the CPN villain of the series." Ace said. "Then, I saw where he came from and that thought dropped instantly."
"Yeah. Good call." Tiny nodded. "Red is cast for comedy. He has a short fuse especially when he is being made fun as. Which happens a lot because he has the same luck as his fellow nodal companions, Daffy Duck, Sylvester the Cat and Wile. E Coyote. He is casting gold."
Ace couldn't help but chuckle as Tiny went to the next player. She was quite the sight to look at. She had brown boyish hair and brown lipstick lips with an eye-patch over her left stern grey eye. Her head was a tan beret with matching pants and a button-up jacket over a white shirt. Also, she had black boots.
Schokolade/29/Army Men
"Wow... He is like a chocolate rose." Ace said in awe. His face then fell. "But she's from Army Men so she's made of plastic."
"Sorry for your disappointment, man." Tiny said rolling his eyes. "I don't think it would be a good idea to hit on Schokolade either way. She is also calculating. Always thinking up plans. And if you mess with her, you will regret it dearly. The only reason I see her as an early boot if everyone was scared to death of her. If that happens, I won't be surprised one bit."
With that, he nodded with himself and went to the next player. This time, it was an older man with a calm look. He had a full head of brown hair with a matching beard as glasses rested on his violet eyes. He actually wore a doctor's coat as well as a red sleeveless sweater over a white casual shirt and red tie. He also wore grey slacks and have black shoes.
Stewart/45/MySims
"Not Stewart is not very good at physical Challenges and he never camped out in his life." Tiny explained. "However, he is a doctor. And his knowledge of medicine may help him out here."
"Like if there is someone he really doesn't like, all he has to do is convinces them they have cancer causing them to drop out of the game?" Ace said before guffawing like an idiot.
Tiny rolled his eyes and pushed the button changing the screen. The next contestant this time was a young-looking skunk. He wore goggles over his head. Also he wore a light grey zipped-up futuristic jacket over a black shirt. He also had on black pants, black boots and a grumpy expression through his purple eyes.
Stinky/17/Star Fox
"A skunk? Named Stinky?" Ace asked flatly before turning to Tiny. "Geez, kid. Can you be a LITTLE bit more original."
"All right. That's more than enough of that." Tiny said narrowing his eyes. "Now, Stinky is a very good player. He knows when he should stay with someone before dropping them. However, he has a very negative personality at camp and we may not see those moves if he keeps it up."
Tiny went on to the next player and once he did, Ace's eyes widened. The player was a young girl with a confident look on her face. She had green eyes with a orange bow on her head with a matching sleeveless dress over a white shirt and orange shoes. Ace couldn't help but noticed that she was a bandicoot with a crocodile's tail.
Tea/10/Crash Bandicoot
"Um... Maybe she won't be an automatically early boot." Ace said jerking his thumb at the girl. "But she is definitely going to have an uphill battle."
"Yeah. Tea is by far youngest and smallest contestant." Tiny nodded. "But she is actually quite mature for her age and is very smart. Hopefully, everyone else can see that.
The two watched as the screen flipped to another anthro girl. Only definitely a little more older. She was a tiger with black beady eyes. She also wore a blue sleeveless dress with sequins on it and a tigerlily in her right ear. She was winking in her picture.
Tigerlily/Unknown/Calvin and Hobbes
"Tigerlily is flirty and mischievous but friendly and sociable. However, she is easily outshined by the rest of the cast." Tiny explained. "However, early on. She makes a very big move."
"I hope it is for the better for because I like that personality in a woman!" Ace said with a grin before doing a tiger-like roar.
Tiny grunted in disgust before going to the next contestant. He was an older man had brown hair with round glasses. He wore a white fisherman's hat, a white button-up shirt with the sleeves rolled up, a black vest and a bow tie. As he wore black pants and shoes, he nervously looked around.
Tom/39/Idolmaster
Ace blinked twice before giving his opinion. "Early boot. No thought about it."
"Yeah. Tom definitely doesn't look like he has the skill to go far." Tiny said scratching his cheek. "However, something big happens to him later in the game. Very big."
With that, he went to the next castaway. Ace noticed that he was a young-looking anthro fox with a calm look in his brown eyes. He wore white pants with a matching classy jacket over a black polo shirt.
Vincent/22/Animanics
"Vincent is one of my picks to at least make the finals." Tiny smiled. "He is physically fit, he knows how to play the game and he is a nice guy to boot."
Ace raised an eyebrow while stroking his chin. "Sounds like a Mary-Sue from the way you put it if you ask me. But all right. I'll keep my eyes on him."
Tiny nodded as he pushed the button revealing the last Survivor contestant for the series. Like the last one, he was a young anthro. Only he was a tan kangaroo with brown eyes and an excited grin. He had a green shirt with horizontal lime green stripe on it with chocolate brown pants.
Wally/23/Punch-Out!
"An anthro kangaroo from a game of boxing humans." Ace said making a square with his hands. "Obscure but at the same time fits."
"Well, a friend already did the same with a cow from Harvest Moon so why can't I?" Tiny said with a shrug. "Wally is a party-lover who means well but sometimes he says stupid things which makes people mad at him. At first, he is just there for humor but soon he plays a slightly bigger role.
With that, he pushed the button for the last time showing a group of shot of the survivors.
"Hey, hey, hey." Ace said with a smirk. "Pretty interesting cast."
"Thank you. I been working on since I been working on YOUR series." Tiny explained.
"But what about the Challenges, Immunity Idol and the blindsides?" Ace asked. "They also make a good season."
"Well, there IS an Immunity Idol. But no Exile Island." Tiny said shaking his head. "Also, there will be blindsides galore. I am still working on the Challenges. I got a few of them figured out but I still need to think of the others."
"Understandable." Ace nodded. He then grinned brightly. "When do the game start?"
"Not for a long while." Tiny said shaking his head.
Ace's face fell. "Aw, come on!"
"Sorry. But I already got a lot of tasks on my hands." Tiny explained. "In fact, I should be writing the dramatic climax of a fight between A Holy Angel and A Death Angel right now."
"I guess. That's fair." Ace frowned crossing his arms.
Tiny put his hand on the older man's shoulder. "Dude. Don't worry. When I get a lot of my tasks done, I will do this."
"Well... I guess you DO deserve the break." Ace said. He then grinned. "Still doesn't help me relax. I can't wait till the next season!"
All Tiny did was smirk.
"Neither can I, man. Neither can I."
