Wtf (i agree)

The hovercraft shook as it descended toward a vast green island surrounded by jagged cliffs. A storm crackled overhead — unnatural, pulsing, almost alive.

Half-Infected Guy muttered, “Are storms supposed to whisper?”

No one answered.

When the doors opened, heat and humidity hit them like a wall. Tropical air. Dense jungle. Strange glowing plants. A distant roar that definitely did not belong to any normal animal.

A hologram projected over the landing pad:

“WELCOME, TRIBUTES. THIS WEEK: FAMILIARIZATION PHASE.”
“EXPLORE FREELY. NO KILLING YET.”
A second line blinked:
“(…Seriously, don’t.)”

THE FIRST HOUR ON THE ISLAND
Link

He stepped onto the sand first.
He knelt, ran his fingers through it, then scanned the treeline with squinting, tactical eyes.

The island was huge. Beautiful. Dangerous.

For the first time since he signed up, Link thought:

I could survive here. I could make this place mine.

That was the beginning of Arc #1: Link’s Silent Determination
A slow buildup of Link becoming a quiet, unstoppable force — a survivor who adapts faster than anyone expects.

He walked into the jungle without waiting for anyone, disappearing like a ghost.

Sector & Oliver (and Cassie following)

Sector immediately punched a coconut tree because they thought it might be a person.

Oliver sighed, “Dude. That's a plant.”

Sector stared at the tree. “We’re friends now.”

Cassie rubbed her temples.
“We’re not even an hour in and you’ve befriended a tree.”

Sector nodded proudly. “Tree good.”

Oliver laughed, wrapping an arm around Cassie’s shoulders.
“Hey, at least they’re not blowing anything up.”

Cassie murmured, “Yet.”

This was the beginning of Arc #2: Sector Learning Self-Worth (Accidentally)
Sector would go from “idiotic chaos blob” to “surprising wildcard with emotional depth… kind of.”

Springtrap, Foxy, and Chica

They stalked the perimeter like a trio of malfunctioning predators.

Springtrap scanned the island with glowing eyes.
“This terrain is advantageous. Traps. Ambushes. Choke points. Perfect hunting ground.”

Chica poked a glowing plant.
It shocked her.
She giggled.

Foxy flicked his foam-covered hook sadly.
“They scuttled me glory…”

“Adapt,” Springtrap said sharply.
“We will rebuild your strength. You will strike again.”

This hint of mentorship launched Arc #3: Foxy Regaining His Confidence
Springtrap becoming a twisted motivator, pushing Foxy to rediscover his ferocity despite his handicap.

EXPLORATION & INTERACTIONS
Ayrs & Kaibi

Ayrs crouched near the coastline, taking notes on shells and rocks.
Kaibi watched her fondly.

“You know… not everything needs to be documented,” he said.

“It does if I don’t want to forget it,” Ayrs replied softly.

Kaibi’s expression darkened with understanding.

“You afraid this place will erase you?”
“…Maybe.”

He placed a hand on her shoulder.
“I’ll remember with you.”

Their bond strengthened — gentle, protective, and grounding.

Slenderman & Grimm

Slenderman hovered silently near a cluster of twisted trees.
Grimm examined the ground with theatrical intrigue.

“A stage,” Grimm purred. “A lavish, cruel stage.”

Slenderman nodded once.

Grimm bowed.
“Partners, then? Until our inevitable betrayal?”

Slenderman extended a tendril.

Grimm shook it.

“Marvelous.”

Half-Infected Guy & the 12-Foot Evil Cup

The corrupted half kept glitching in and out of existence.
The cup whispered demonic nonsense at him.

They bonded instantly.

This would end poorly.

Haha Jonathan & Middle Finger Cat

Jonathan flicked toothpaste at a coconut.
Middle Finger Cat flipped off the coconut.

They shared a moment of mutual understanding.

“Wanna form an alliance?” Jonathan asked.

“Die,” she said calmly.

He took that as a “maybe.”

Virian & Big Ant

Virian vibrated excitedly at the glowing mushrooms.

“KAIBI!!! KAIBI LOOK— oh he’s not here. Hey ant guy, look at this! Mushroom!! It glows!! Hell yeah!!”

Big Ant looked, unimpressed.
“Cool. Can I hold six of them?”

“You have too much item privilege,” she shot back.

Kendrick Lamar

Kendrick walked alone, head down, contemplating.
He didn’t look scared.
He looked focused.

"This island got a rhythm," he murmured.
"Chaos got a beat. I just gotta ride it."

Hoo boy.

THE PREPARATION CENTER CALL

The sky turned red for a moment.
A siren wailed.

“TRIBUTES: REPORT TO THE CENTER FOR PREPARATION.”

A massive stone building rose from the ground like a temple being summoned from beneath the earth. Glowing runes circled its walls. Giant doors opened with a mechanical roar.

Inside were:

training stations

weapon testing rooms

mental simulations

survival courses

hologram arenas

robotic instructors

and a medicinal room that smelled like despair

The tributes filed in.

Some confident.
Some terrified.
Some plotting.

THE LAST MOMENTS BEFORE TRAINING
Link

Quiet. Focused.
He gripped his sword strap, looking at the stations with sharp curiosity.

Every survival skill here would be something he could master.

His arc was building.

Sector

Sector poked a button.
A flamethrower simulation activated.
Sector screamed so loud four holograms exploded.

Oliver dragged them away by the collar.

Cassie followed, already preparing a ritual to calm them down.

Springtrap & Foxy

Springtrap inspected every trap-testing station.
Foxy nervously fiddled with the foam on his hook.

Springtrap placed a metal hand on Foxy’s shoulder.

“You are still deadly,” he whispered.
“Foam or not.”

Foxy straightened, confidence flickering back.

Ayrs

She was trembling slightly.
This place reminded her too much of war.
Too much of history.

Kaibi took her hand.
She breathed.

Slenderman & Grimm

They entered like royalty arriving at a coronation.

Grimm spread his cloak dramatically.
Slenderman simply stared at a Peacekeeper until the guard backed away.

Adrian

He was vibrating.
“They took my meth. I’m going to kill someone.”

Spoon Man, standing next to him, said,
“They took my spoon.”

They nodded in mutual suffering.

Chica

Chica grabbed two exposed wires and electrocuted herself on purpose.

She laughed.

Strawberry Elephant

He walked into a wall.

The wall moved out of his way.

Kendrick Lamar

Kendrick looked out over the training floor.

“…This is gonna go hard,” he said.

"They took my meth. I'm going to kill someone"
