"Since the beginning of time, before the event you have come to know as the Big Bang, there have always been 6 singularities, 6 forces of ultimate power. Then the universe exploded into existence with the Big Bang and the remnants of these systems were forged into concentrated physical forms each with a consciousness of its own. These beings have come to be known as the Cosmic Elemental Masters. Each being has mastery over one of the 6 elemental forces of the universe: Fire, Water, Earth, Wind, Lightning and Metal. These beings are the most powerful in all of the universe and cannot be defeated by any normal being lest their existence be wiped from the face of the universe upon contact, and the only being capable of defeating a Cosmic Elemental is a Cosmic Elemental, or one with the powers of a Cosmic Elemental. Many eons ago, a great war was raged between the Daagons, the inhabitants of the cosmic ocean Varuna and their ruler Hiidrala, and Metallum, the Cosmic Elemental of Metal. With them were their greatest protectors, the Wind and Lightning Cosmic Elementals known as Tatsumaki and Kaminari. The two clashed in an epic battle that scarred the very universe itself, but before a victor could be decided Metallum betrayed Kaminari and attempted to take both their powers for himself in order to conquer not only Varuna, but the entire universe itself. In the face of this betrayal, Tatsumaki and Kaminari agreed to combine their power to face Metallum and end him, and in doing so they performed an ancient ritual known only to the Cosmic Elementals: Elemental Fusion, in which they would fuse into one new being altogether with both of their powers but at the cost of their fusion being permanent. With this they forged a new being with a new elemental force: Tempestatis, the Cosmic Elemental of the Hurricane. The battle was fierce and ravaged the universe, but the the end the battle was lost. Metallium was badly injured nearly beyond recovery but he had triumphed. With his dying breath, Tempestatis made a vow: even if it took him thousands upon thousands of lifetimes, he would see Metallum fall for his betrayal. Unsatisfied by this, Metallum made a pact with the Cosmic Elemental of fire, Urere, to create a warrior of fiery pure evil simply to torture each reincarnation until it ceased. Until the day comes when Metallum is slain the cycle will continue and if that day never comes, the true spirit of the Hurricane will be lost forever to the memory of time."

A warm summer day over the skies of Toronto.

Adam knelt down and placed some flowers in front of a grave "Hey Carlos, I can't believe how long it's been already. It's been what, a year and a half already? Man time sure does fly, well for me at least. I'm not sure if you see this from where you are now but a lot has happened since you've been gone. McLean said that the cast had outlived their usefulness so now they've moved on with their lives. Me, Cody, Bridgette, Mike and Zoey are all on Spring Break from our first year at Ocean Falls University so that's good. Me and Cody share our apartment near the campus, good thing too because dorms suck. I feel bad for Mike. Trent and Courtney both applied to Julliard in New York and Duncan went with her so they could be closer even if he would never admit it. DJ and Owen went to culinary school so they could start a catering business together, since DJ and his mother's restaurant idea went up in smoke after season 2. Gwen finished up her first year of some art school in Vancouver too, and now she's back here so she can be with Cody over the summer. Plus a new season of Total Drama came out a few months ago with a new cast, including my best friend Mike and my ex girlfriend Zoey, who ended up getting together. Plus on the bright side McLean is in jail for the next year or so for dumping toxic waste and creating an environmental disaster on an island in Muskoka. How much of that did you get the memo for Mike?" note how he said this without bothering to look behind him.

Sure enough, Mike was standing behind him with a bouquet of flowers in hand "You always could tell when I was there, it was always kind of scary. You're thinking about Bridgette's birthday again?"

"I know I shouldn't be brooding over it, I mean it was like 2 months ago but I can't help but shake this one thought. Why do I get the feeling Bridgette's dad doesn't like me?"

"Probably because he's a no nonsense RCAF colonel and you blew up a plane on international TV."

"Yeah, a plane belonging to Chris McLean. Besides it was an accident, sort of."

"Hey don't worry about it dude, it was still awesome as hell."

"And add that to the list of reasons why I think some of your other personalities influence your own, why do you think I never told Devin and Carrie about it until you were on Total Drama? I mean aside from the years of abuse that you got because of it.

"Hey that reminds me there's something that's been bugging me for awhile. Devin and Carrie, is there something going on between those two or something?"

Adam just slapped his face and slowly let it slide down "Don't even get me started on that because once I start, it will take me HOURS to stop. Look here's the drill, Carrie's been in love with Devin since they were like 4."

"Good."

"But Devin has been oblivious to it the entire time."

"Bad."

"Carrie told me during our freshmen year of high school and I've been trying to set the two up ever since."

"Good."

"But the problem is that he hooked up with some high maintenance chick named Shelley and they've been going on again off again every 3 months ever since. Right now they're in their together season as they put it."

"Bad."

"Carrie keeps telling me that she's gonna tell him how she feels."

"Good."

"But the problem is that she keeps chickening out, in case you haven't noticed she's not the gutsiest team out there."

"Bad."

"Will you stop that?"

"Sorry."

"So I gave her an ultimatum, either she tells him before they're through with this new show they're gonna be on or I will tell Devin myself when they get back."

"Kind of harsh isn't it?"

"You try watching that crap for 5 years man, there's gotta be a point where you have to draw the line and this is it for them."

"You know you seem kind of on edge."

"You would too if you were feeling what I am." his bangs began covering his eyes and the temperature around the two of them dropped slightly, his voice low "I've been having those dreams about Mal again."

"...So what then, you think he's gonna return soon?"

"I wouldn't doubt it."

"You think you're ready?"

"I wasn't last time."

"But you're you, I know you can-"

"Mike you know better than anyone that I couldn't even scratch Mal last time, if Carlos hadn't been there in that fight to save me then I would never have made it out alive. Hell even while he was there I still almost lost my eyes. We can't lose even a single second with Mal, we need to be sure of exactly when he'll return."

"So what will we do then? I mean it's not like you can look into my mind and see if he's in there or anything."

"I know that, god it's times like this I hate being human. But you know I've actually been thinking about that, and I might have an idea."

"What do you mean?"

"Well it's true that I can't see into your mind and I doubt Mal would let you know about his presence just yet, but there might be another one who can."

"What do you…" Mike paused, until realization dawned upon him "Wait a second, Adam are you talking about who I think you're talking about?"

"You saw what she could do in season 4, I have no doubt in my mind that she knew about your multiple personalities before even McLean or the producers did. We need to be 100% sure of exactly when Mal will return and if my hunch is true she may be the only person who can help us with that."

"...So when will we do it, tomorrow?"

"No that's way too soon and we'd never be able to come up with an excuse, we'll do it next week."

"Why next week?"

"Because I already looked up her address and it's gonna take at least a few days to drive there and back, which means… road trip!" they high fived "And besides everyone is gonna be busy then. Bridgette is gonna be in some surfing tournament in Australia, Duncan and Courtney are gonna be back in New York, Carrie and Devin and a bunch of others are gonna be competing in some new reality show, and Cody is gonna be on tour with the rest of the Drama Brothers across Muskoka."

"I thought they broke up after World Tour."

"That was because they only had one song that wasn't very good so they worked out a deal with the producers to create and perform extended versions of the sons from World Tour."

"Oh. Cool."

"Yeah I know." his expression turned downcast again "You know one of the most important things that Carlos taught me is that underestimating your enemy can be a deadly weakness, but having faith in your friends and allies can be your greatest strength. We're gonna stop Mal once and for all, and we're gonna do it together."

"Together." they clasped their hands together.

Sunset came, and the sky had been colored a beautiful shade of pink over the skies of Ocean Falls.

Adam stood on top of a large hill that stood overlooking the town of Ocean Falls, his mind drifting with the wind 'So I guess the time is coming. Carlos, you brought me to this exact same spot almost every single day in order to make sure I don't lose sight of what's important. But now you're gone, Mal could show his face again anytime now and I can feel the hatred for him burning inside of me, growing stronger every day. You once made me promise that I wouldn't allow myself to be consumed by vengeance but I can't help but wonder, will I be able to keep that promise? I guess there's only one way to find out, but just to be safe…' he pulled out his cell phone and dialed a number "Hey, it's me. No I didn't fight a kangaroo again, stop bringing that up all the time. Mal is gonna come back, I don't know when exactly but we're gonna find out. As far as I know there's only one person who can help us with that, and we're gonna head up to meet her in a few days. You in? Great, see you then." he hung up and looked up as the sun began to set 'I can feel it in my gut, a great change is on the horizon. Good or bad I wonder? Well I guess only time will tell…

(And now just for fun, the theme song for this fic which is taken from the third intro to Fairy Tail)

Adam stands in a valley of rocks on top of a plateau surrounded by various others, wearing a set of electric gauntlets, the silver colored legs of a knight's armor, a silver colored hood and cape with a battle axe similar to the Stormbreaker wielded by Thor, which he then drops in favor of a magnificent looking sword. He holds up his left arm as it begins crackling with electricity, which then spreads throughout the air above him, spelling out The Ridonculous Underdogs, before a blinding white light covers the sky "Wo-oa-ah! Wo-oa-ah! Wo-oa-ah! Wo-oa-ah!"

Bridgette and Cody are on the ground covered in wounds, debris and rubble all around the two of them "Daijobu…"

Alejandro stands on top of a massive squid like creature, a pair of crimson colored razor sharp claws covering his hands as he roars in triumph "Ore ga nanman kai mo sakende yaru…"

Adam, fully armored up with his sword in hand, looks out over the wreckage left behind by the battle, then looks back "Kimi no ashita ga subete…"

Alejandro gives him a calm smirk, Bridgette gives him a calm thumbs up, and Cody jumps for joy from behind them, and Adam gives them a small smile "Kagayaite iru to shinjiteru…"

Adam looks down over Carlos' grave with his hair covering his eyes as the rain pours down all around him "Yume o kanaete subete no hito…"

Sir George, with Ascalon in hand, charges at the seal containing the Diagon "Ni kasariau kyoutsu ten…"

Adam stands on the beach looking out at the ocean, with Devin, Carrie, Bridgette, Cody, Alejandro, Gwen, Kevin, Tom, Jen, Geoff, DJ, Owen, Noah, Mike and Zoey standing right behind him. But then he notices the forms of Terrae, Urere and Metallum appearing from beyond the horizon, so he armors up and charges out to meet them head on "Akirame naka tatte koto soredake sa maken nayo…"

Silhouettes of Devin and Carrie, along with Gwen and Kevin next to them, are standing back to back, with Tom and Jen standing in the background "Mukai kaze ni…"

Silhouettes of Emma and Noah are standing back to back, with Owen and Kitty standing in the background "Nagasare kujikesou na toki wa…"

Adam is floating alone in an endless sea of darkness until a ray of light begins to shine down upon him, and he begins to float towards it "Kono te nigire Try to Make a Chance mou, kimi wa hitori nanka janaize…"

Adam, Cody, Bridgette, Alejandro, Sir George, Daniel, Dawn and Aurora are all lined up and charge at several shadowy silhouettes, revealed to be Kraang Subprime, Lord Dregg and the Newtralizer, the cloaked Esoterica (Sierra) and Vilgax (infused with Diagon's power), and Terrae, Urere and Metallum at the back, all three of them radiating black auras "Motto motto mae e mae e kimi no ika shita yume akiramenaide…"

They all charge, with Adam fully armored up and wielding Ascalon, Bridgette unleashing her water powers, Cody wielding his Yin Yang staff, and Alejandro bracing his Crimson Jaguar claws "Sou itenai de susume MY WAY ima, Kimi o terashiten da hikari…"

Metallum, Urere and Terrae all unleash blasts of dark energy that push Alejandro and the others back, but Adam powers through and cuts Terrae and Urere down using Ascalon and begins clashing with Metallum in mid air "Akirame nanka zenbu sutete tsuyosa to hikikae ni mata kizutsuite…"

Adam powers up to his maximum form, his Cosmic Knight form with his hair electric blue with a white tint, his eyes gaining electric blue colored irises with silver pupils, and he and Metallum clash in mid air, resulting in a massive explosion "Demo kimi no massugu na hitomi ni wa, ima mieru daro hikari…"

Silhouettes appear of Cody, Alejandro and Bridgette watching the fight "Wo-oa-ah!"

The same for Daniel, Dawn and Aurora "Wo-oa-ah!"

Adam picks himself up off of the ground "Wo-oa-ah!"

Adam raises Ascalon and charges as Metallum closes in, resulting in a blinding white light and a massive explosion covering the area.

A/N:

This is just a prologue before we get into the really important stuff, it's just a way to recap everything that's happened to the cast and competitors between the end of World Tour and the beginning of the Ridonculous Race, and to show what the actual main character of this entire story, Adam, is going to be up to during this fic.

This prologue is almost the same as the prologue from the original Ridonculous Underdogs story, which takes place at the exact same time as this one, only this one has more added onto it. I noticed that despite all of the work that I've put into that one, it hasn't been anywhere near as popular as its predecessor, the Rise of an Underdog. I did some brainstorming and decided that the main problem was all of the original chapters that I was including in the story. They're all very important to the overall plot of this trilogy but I can understand how people might get sick of them, so this is the solution that I came up with, that being cutting out the original chapters and just pasting them all into another story that takes place at the same point in time as the original.

I got the idea of doing this story from a few episodes of Phineas and Ferb that have done the same thing, after all it might have been a mistake squeezing all of it into just one story, so I decided to put it all into another story entirely. Makes sense right?

Like with the original, this prologue features a recreation of the third intro of Fairy Tail but with Adam and the others as the main characters in place of the members of Team Natsu. Seriously though, while they will not be appearing in this fic expect a lot of references to Fairy Tail later on. Who knows, I might even do more of those later on depending on how people like this.

The original chapters will be the same for the most part, but looking back on them I realize that I was just making several things up as I went along, so I'm going to be editing them before I upload them. Oh, and this means that I will be deleting them from the actual Ridonculous Underdogs story.
