User Total Drama Action (Week 9: Marathon) - Tenth Elimination
The stage was set: all the actors that survived the merge were in their seats, writhing within their seats. Ever since the two teams were split, every elimination has been nothing but suspense for the Post-Merge actors. Granted, this had only been their second elimination after the two tribes combined into one, but all of them knew that the road could only get bumpier from here. The host was prepared to hand out the trophies, but his subordinates were still shaking with anxiety. He supposed that he could have waited for them to calm down before proceeding, but where's the fun in not watching them squirm?
"SonicMario."
SM was relieved to be the first one confirmed safe for the night, though as he looked away from the stage to sigh, he found himself on the receiving and painful end of a golden statue.
"New Super Mario."
With one Mario out of the way, the second Mario on the list gladly accepted his trophy. Unlike his predecessor, though, he was much more attentive and caught it with one hand.
"Cirdec."
One of the two Daisies of the group found herself among the first to receive a trophy, and he was giddy with excitement. However, the host ended up overshooting and launched the trophy straight at Gstuhe, colliding with him with a powerful thwap.
"Rocker. *toss* Smg2daisy. *toss* Nabber. *toss* Gutseh. *toss*"
With Gutseh (safely) receiving the second-to-last trophy, it was down to arguably the two strongest players in the game: Toad Eightyfive and Xerneas. Only one of them would walk out of here.
"The receiver of the final trophy and the final one safe for the end of Week 9 is..."
Everyone stared intently at the host, who maliciously decided to pad out the time as long as he could, just to make his contestants wait.
"Toad85."
Toad was ecstatically relieved that he managed to make it out of the week safe; Xerneas, however, was a mixture of melancholy and other unpleasant feelings. However, he accepted his fate. At this point, the votes had already been cast, the trophies sent out. There was nothing he could do but live with it, and he took this stance with pride as he made his way towards the Walk of Shame.
