Chapter 9 - Elimination
Pierce's POV
I was wondering who got us up for elimination.
I would have blamed Marcel since he made a dumb move on passing the answer way too early.
Like dude, take your time in finding the answer instead of passing it early just like you passed the exam paper that made you look like a fool.
I went to Brynn and Cain to talk about elimination.
Pierce: Who do you think got us up for elimination?
Brynn: I'm not sure who is to blame.
Cain: Same..
Pierce: I have a feeling that it's Marcel's fault for passing the answer too early to Penny.
Brynn: Man, I was close to stopping him from doing so.
Pierce: Geez, we should bet on Marcel that he'll be eliminated for that shit.
Brynn: But how? We can't vote, remember?
Pierce: Oh right. Guess we'll have to wait for Marcel to be eliminated.
Brynn: Good point.
Pierce: If not, well, maybe next time.
Guess we have to wait for our elimination.
End of Pierce's POV
Fallon's POV
I was passing by my teammates and heard about them wishing Marcel to be eliminated.
Should I tell him about it?
Maybe I should, since he might be aware of his actions back in the current challenge.
I went to look for Marcel and noticed that he was on one of the picnic tables. I decided to talk to him by going there to where Marcel was sitting.
Fallon: Hello Marcel.
Marcel: Oh hello, do you need something?
Fallon: About that, I noticed that Pierce, Brynn, and Cain are talking about you being the reason why we're up for elimination.
Marcel: Wait what!?
Fallon: They even wish that you were out of the game during the elimination.
Marcel: I don't know if I'm ready to give up.
Fallon: Don't give up just yet, you have so much to do in this game. Maybe you lack something, which is you have to take time instead of rushing.
Marcel: If we are free from the game, can you please teach me that?
Fallon: It's simple, there are some situations where it needs to take time.
Marcel: Are you sure?
Fallon: Positive.
Marcel: Thanks Fallon.
Fallon: We can make it together until Penny breaks our teams.
Marcel: Yea, I wish we could work together if you are still in the game.
Penny: Hate to disturb you two, but it's time for the elimination.
I decided to follow Marcel as we went to the elimination zone.
End of Fallon's POV
During the Elimination
Penny: Welcome to your elimination you guys, it's good to see you again!
None of the members of Demolition Legends said anything, since Brynn, Cain, and Pierce are saying that they're sure about Marcel getting eliminated, while Marcel and Gauri didn't say anything.
Fallon: It's good to see you.
Penny: Good to see you too, Fallon! So, anyway, we got three votes, which had two votes taken away.
Pierce: (Wait what!? Another tiebreaker!? Please don't let this happen!)
Penny: The contestants with zero votes are...
Penny looks at the results while Marcel is trying to put his straight face instead of having a nervous look. It caused Fallon to reassure him that everything would be okay.
Penny: It's Pierce and the couple Brynn and Cain who are safe with zero votes!
Penny: And the prizes are...
Penny: Macarons! And with different flavors!
Penny throws three macarons to the contestants who are safe from elimination.
Marcel: In the bottom three!?
Fallon: What now?
Gauri: (What did I do this time?)
Pierce: Expect the unexpected.
Brynn: Tiebreaker again?
Penny: You guys are correct, you three have 1 vote, we'll do a tiebreaker, again. (Why does this happen after the previous elimination? I'm not paid enough for this one.)
Penny: How about this? For a tiebreaker, you guys have a riddle and three chances. If you answer the riddle correctly, you're safe. If you miss three chances, that means you're eliminated. If you miss a chance, you'll have a different riddle.
Penny went to Marcel.
Penny: Here's your first riddle. Everyone in the world needs it. They generously give it. But never take it. Then what is it?
Fallon: You can do it!
Marcel thought for a moment before he decided to answer the riddle.
Marcel: Advice?
Penny: That's correct! Meaning, you are safe!
Pierce: (Yep, maybe next time.)
Penny went to Fallon.
Penny: Here's your first riddle. Branches grow on its head; it wears spotted clothes. Not a donkey of a horse, it runs like the wind.
Fallon: Umm... an elk?
Penny: That's a close answer, but the answer is a deer. You have two chances.
Marcel: Fallon, don't waste your chances, you can do this one for the next riddle.
Penny went to Gauri.
Gauri: (Riddles aren't my thing, they can trick my mind since I don't know the answers.)
Penny: Here's your first riddle. What goes from Z to A?
Gauri: Alphabet but backwards?
Penny: Wrong. The answer is Zebra.
Gauri: (Yep, I suck at riddles.)
Marcel: This is your chance!
Penny went to Fallon.
Penny: Fallon, here's your second riddle. Where does a fish keep its money?
Fallon: In the gills? (Why are some riddles silly but difficult at the same time?)
Penny: Wrong answer Fallon. The answer is a river bank.
Marcel: Remember to take your time, Fallon, it's not too late!
Fallon nods as she waits for Gauri to finish her riddle.
Penny went to Gauri.
Penny: Here's your second riddle, Gauri. What is in front of you but cannot be seen?
Gauri: A wind? (Dammit! Why now!?)
Penny: That's a close answer to this riddle. The answer is the future.
Gauri: (Why can't I think about it? And why am I panicking right now!?)
Penny: Since you two have one chance left, here's your last riddle for you two. What instrument has 88 keys?
Fallon thought for a moment and needed to think about an answer.
Fallon: The answer is piano, right?
Gauri: (Wait, it's a piano!? Now I am thinking about it since it has 88 keys.. That means-)
Penny: Fallon, you are safe from the tiebreaker. Sorry Gauri, but you are eliminated by the tiebreaker.
Penny throws the last two macarons at Marcel and Fallon.
Gauri: Good job Marcel and Fallon, move on without my help. I know you can do it together!
Gauri: (It's finally ended! I can rest from the burden that I survived the tiebreakers against Warren and Rosaria.)
Gauri left to relax in the cabin by reading or doing cross words.
Marcel: She really cares about us despite the fact that three of them are against me.
Fallon: Then what if you aren't the only one who they are against?
Marcel: Why do you want to be someone that they are against?
Fallon: That's because I don't want you to be the only target, since the team will soon break up, causing us to be against each other.
Marcel: You're right, the team will be broken soon.
Pierce: (Why did they want our team to be broken!?)
Everyone left to end the day by staying inside the cabins.
