PUPS EXTREME CHALLENGE

I DON'T OWN PAW PATROL ONLY MY OC'S

It was a warm & sunny Monday morning. For most people the day started as normal with them waking up, getting dressed, eating breakfast & heading to school or work. At the film/TV studio Elias & Kelly were getting ready to begin filming a special mini season of Extreme Challenge: The Ultimate Showdown. Ace, Carlos, Danny, Katie, Mayabella & Ryder were the contestants & over the next 5 days they'd compete in a series of challenges to win a $50,000 prize. Elias & Kelly were excited to get started as were the other kids. They knew that filming the show would be a lot of fun. Elias & Kelly soon finished getting ready & prepared to begin filming.

"This is going to be a fun week. Who do you think will be the winner?" asked Elias as he smiled in excitement.

"I don't know. We'll have to wait & see" said Kelly as she also smiled excitedly.

"Regarding the prize money I think I know what most if not all the contestants would use it for. Ace would likely use it for her stunt pilot career, Carlos would probably use it for funding towards searching for ancient artefacts in the jungle, Danny's obviously going to use it for his daredevil career, Katie might use it for her pet parlour, Mayabella could possibly use it to treat herself like never before & Ryder will probably use it to help the PAW Patrol. Regardless of that I'm sure they'll all find something good to use the money for" said Elias.

"I agree. Soon we'll get to see them battle it out. It'll be as epic as the main series" said Kelly.

After everything was set up Elias & Kelly got in place. They stood by the front doors of a specially designed loft that the contestants would be staying in over the next 5 days. After getting the signal Elias & Kelly looked at the camera to address the audience.

"Hello everyone & welcome to a special mini season of Extreme Challenge: The Ultimate Showdown. I'm your host Elias Vincent & joining me is my co-host & girlfriend Kelly Walter" said Elias as he smiled while looking at the camera.

"Over the next few days 6 contestants will compete for a $50,000 prize. They'll have to endure tough challenges, eliminations & more to outlast the others & come out on top. Who will win? Stay tuned to find out" said Kelly as the intro sequence played. The intro featured bright & colourful imagery that showed the contestants, their names & the loft they'd be living in amongst other things. At the end of the intro the show's logo appeared onscreen before the cameras focused on Elias & Kelly again.

"Welcome back. Soon our 6 contestants will move into the loft behind us to begin their 5-day journey to win the prize" said Elias as he smiled in excitement.

"Each day they'll compete in challenges for immunity. The winner will be safe from elimination & advance to the next round. At the end of each day they'll vote another contestant off & whoever receives the most votes will be eliminated & lose their chance at winning. Once only 2 contestants remain they'll face off to determine who'll take home the $50,000. Without further delay let's meet the contestants" said Kelly as the camera turned to show 6 empty seats nearby. Ace, Carlos, Danny, Katie, Mayabella & Ryder walked out from the waiting room & took their seats. They all smiled with enthusiasm as they waited for the game to begin.

"Hello everyone. Welcome to Extreme Challenge: The Ultimate Showdown. Over the next few days you'll compete against each other in a series of challenges to win $50,000. At the end of the 5TH day 1 of you will be crowned the champion" said Elias with excitement in his voice.

"We both wish you all luck & may the best person win. You may now enter the loft. See you at the 1ST challenge" said Kelly with an enthusiastic smile. Ace, Carlos, Danny, Katie, Mayabella & Ryder proceeded to enter the loft. They were immediately impressed at the colourful & decorative design of the house.

"Wow this place has really nice designs & patterns" said Ace as she smiled eagerly.

"I'll say. It's like a giant eye candy feast in here" said Carlos as he looked around in awe.

"These next 5 days are going to be epic. I can't wait to get this game started" said Danny as he jumped up & down excitedly.

"Let's play a clean & fair game. We don't want to let anything get out of hand over all this" said Katie.

"I agree. Good luck to you all" said Mayabella with a warm smile.

"Let's find our beds. That way we can sort out who's sleeping where" said Ryder as he & the others began looking around for the bedroom. As they went through the loft they came across all the other rooms including the kitchen, dining room, laundry, bathroom, backyard, confessional & lounge room. Each room had a unique design with decorative patterns all over. Soon everyone came across the bedroom. It was rainbow coloured & had all sorts of games & toys for them to use. Ace chose the blue bed, Carlos chose the orange bed, Danny chose the red bed, Katie chose the purple bed, Mayabella chose the green bed & Ryder chose the yellow bed. After settling down they all decided to go out to the backyard. There was a playground set up that included swings, slides, monkey bars, seesaws, merry-go-rounds, climbing frames, flying foxes & much more. They each played on a different part of the playground running around while laughing & smiling.

"I love this house. I wish we actually lived here" said Ace as she zipped across the flying fox.

"Me too. This house is a kid's dream home" said Carlos as he climbed over the climbing frame.

"If there was a sport centre in here I'd go wild. Nothing makes me happier than getting adrenaline pumping through my body" said Danny as he swung back & forth on the swingset as high as he could.

"I'd love to see a spa room. That'd keep us all refreshed & relaxed during stressful moments" said Katie as she spun on the merry-go-round.

"I really like the floral designs. It's a very decorative & pretty way to liven up the house" said Mayabella as she Swung across the monkey bars.

"The next 5 days are going to be the most fun we've ever had. I can't wait to see what's in store for us" said Ryder as He slid down the slide. As everyone continued playing together in the backyard the camera focused on Elias & Kelly who were shown out the front of the loft.

"So far it looks like everyone is settling in well. Soon their 1ST challenge will begin. Before we get to that we have a special guest joining us for a bit" said Elias with an excited smile on his face.

"Please welcome the winner of Extreme Challenge: The Ultimate Showdown Season 1: Jordan Quincy" said Kelly as an 18-year-old boy with tan skin, blue eyes & short brown hair wearing a yellow short sleeve t shirt, blue shorts & black & white sneaker shoes appeared from the waiting room. He walked over & shook Elias & Kelly's hands before sitting down with them.

"Good to see you Jordan. How are you?" asked Elias with a warm smile.

"I'm good. Ever since I won everything's been going well" said Jordan as he returned the smile.

"You were the youngest contestant on Season 1 at 18. Were your family & friends shocked to see you win?" asked Kelly in a curious voice.

"Yes. Despite that they had faith in me the whole time. During the competition I made sure to play the best game I could. It wasn't easy, but I never gave up" said Jordan.

"You managed to shock everyone by not only winning every single challenge but also managing to make lots of strategic moves that eliminated your opponents allowing you to reach the finale & win a perfect game. That's almost completely unheard of in a show like this. How did you do it?" asked Elias.

"I think there were multiple factors that contributed to my victory. I'd be lying if I said there was no luck involved. I was extremely lucky to do as well as I did. Even I was shocked at how well I played. All the other contestants were constantly trying to figure out how to send me home because of how much of a threat I was to them, but it was nice to know that they all respected me regardless of that. They were some of the most diverse people I've ever met & getting to know them was fantastic. If I get to play the game again I doubt I'd be able to play as well as I did the 1ST time. Aside from luck my intelligence & strength were the biggest contributing factors to my victory. I played the game using all the physical & psychological aspects of my body & mind that I could. I played hard & never gave up" said Jordan as he smiled enthusiastically.

"What did you do with the money you won?" asked Kelly.

"I used for various thing including charity, buying stuff I've had my eye on, helping friends & family & saving it for future investments amongst other things. I'd have to be a fool to waste it all on a huge spending spree. I'm proud of the things I've done with it & I hope to continue using it for good things" said Jordan with a confident voice.

"I'm glad to hear that. Regarding this mini season who do you think is likely to be the winner?" asked Elias.

"I'm not too sure. It's a bit early to know. All I can say is that they all have a chance to win as long as they put their best efforts into the game" said Jordan.

"Thanks for coming by & sharing that with us Jordan. It's been a pleasure having you here" said Elias as he smiled warmly at Jordan.

"It was nice meeting you. See you later" said Kelly as she also smiled warmly.

"It was my pleasure. Bye guys" said Jordan as he smiled & shook Elias & Kelly's hands before leaving. Elias & Kelly then turned to address the audience.

"Now that we've gotten some insight from Jordan let's get the contestants ready for their 1ST challenge" said Elias as he smiled enthusiastically at the camera.

"Whoever wins will earn immunity from elimination meaning they won't be the 1ST contestant voted off" said Kelly as she also smiled at the camera. The focus then shifted back to the loft where all the contestants were still in the backyard playing on the playground. Elias & Kelly used the speakers to communicate with them.

"Contestants please report to the lounge" said Elias.

"Your 1ST challenge is about to begin" said Kelly.

All the contestants went into the lounge & sat on the sofa. As they waited for further instruction Elias & Kelly appeared on the TV screen.

"Hello everyone. You're about to compete for immunity from tonight's elimination. If you win the challenge, you'll be the only person safe from being voted off tonight. If you lose you have a 20% chance of being eliminated" said Elias.

"In the backyard there's a door that'll take you to the challenge area. Please proceed through that door now" said Kelly.

Everyone went out to the backyard & went through the door Elias & Kelly mentioned. In the challenge area they spotted 6 basketball hoops, 4 puzzle stations & 2 horizontal poles that rotated. Since there was no TV screen in the area Elias & Kelly could only communicate with everyone via the speakers.

"Your 1ST challenge is called Sink, Solve & Spin. There are 3 rounds. In round 1 all of you will have 5 minutes to sink as many baskets as you can. The 4 of you that sink the most will advance to round 2. In round 2 the 4 remaining contestants will solve a puzzle. The 1ST 2 to solve it correctly will advance to the 3RD & final round. In the 3RD & final round the final 2 will each have a horizontal bar they'll cling on to. The bars will spin around & gradually get faster making it harder to hang on. Whichever of those 2 contestants hangs on to their bar the longest wins immunity & is safe from elimination tonight" said Elias.

"Each round will begin when a buzzer goes off. Please move over to the basketball hoops" said Kelly.

The contestants each walked over to the basketball hoops & grabbed their balls as they waited for the signal to begin. Once the buzzer was heard they all began throwing their balls at the hoop trying to sink as many baskets as they could. A 5-minute clock counted down the time they all had to sink baskets. Danny & Mayabella quickly fell behind as everyone else sunk basket after basket. Danny wasn't aiming very well resulting in poorly made shots & Mayabella wasn't getting the precision right. As the clock counted down they became more desperate to sink baskets. Out of the other 4 Ryder took the lead almost never missing a single shot. Katie was behind in 2ND while Carlos was in 3RD leaving Ace in 4TH. As the final moments ticked away Danny & Mayabella became desperate to get more baskets but their panic only caused them to fall behind even further. Eventually the clock ran out of time.

"Time's up. Ace, Carlos, Katie & Ryder you 4 sunk the most baskets, so you'll continue to round 2. Danny & Mayabella unfortunately you're out which means you 2 are at risk of elimination tonight. Please take a seat on the bench" said Elias.

"That sucks. I thought I could do better than that" said Danny as he sighed in frustration while walking to the bench.

"I guess that's just how it is" said Mayabella as she sat next to Danny.

"Ace, Carlos, Katie & Ryder please move over to the puzzle stations" said Kelly.

Ace, Carlos, Katie & Ryder went over to the puzzle stations & waited for the buzzer. Once it sounded they began sorting through the pieces trying to figure out what the picture would be. Ryder strategically focused on finding the corner & edge pieces 1ST & putting them in place to make it easier to know where the other pieces fit. It didn't take long for him to figure out that the image was of the Extreme Challenge: The Ultimate Showdown logo. A few minutes later he successfully filled in his puzzle. The other 3 continued putting their pieces down in a rush to claim the 2ND spot in round 3. Katie took the lead & began filling in her puzzle as Ace & Carlos struggled to fill theirs in. Soon Katie filled in her puzzle allowing her to advance to round 3.

"Katie & Ryder you were the 1ST 2 to finish the puzzle meaning you advance to round 3. Ace & Carlos you're out of the challenge & have lost the chance to win immunity" said Elias.

"I should've calmed down instead of rushing through it" said Ace as she joined Danny & Mayabella on the bench.

"I can't wait to see who wins. The last round will be exciting" said Carlos as he sat next to Ace.

"Katie & Ryder please move over to the horizontal bars" said Kelly.

Katie & Ryder went over to the bars & hopped on them. They wrapped their arms & legs around the bars & waited for the buzzer. Once it sounded the bars began to rotate. Katie & Ryder held on as tightly as possible as the bars kept turning. At 1ST the bars rotated at a slow pace but as time went on the speed increased making it harder to hang on. Ace, Carlos, Danny & Mayabella sat & watched in anticipation not knowing who'd win. Katie & Ryder soon began to feel dizzy, but they did their best to hang on. After 15 minutes of spinning Katie slipped off her bar making Ryder the winner.

"Congratulations Ryder you're the winner of today's challenge meaning you have immunity from elimination tonight" said Elias.

"As for the rest of you 1 of you will be the 1ST person eliminated. You have the rest of the day to think about it. See you later" said Kelly.

"Congratulations Ryder. Well done on winning" said Katie as she smiled at Ryder.

"Thanks Katie. You did a good job as well" said Ryder as he smiled & gave Katie a hug. Everyone went over & congratulated Ryder for winning. After the excitement died down they returned to the loft to settle down. It didn't take long for the realisation that 1 of them would be eliminated that night to sink in. Except for Ryder everyone was feeling a bit nervous. None of them knew what the others were thinking & who they planned to vote for at elimination. Katie felt the most nervous since she had done better than all the other players without immunity in the challenge & feared that they'd vote her off because of this. She went to Ryder & confessed how she felt.

"I feel so nervous. I have this bad feeling I'm going to get voted off tonight since I did better than the others at the challenge" said Katie in a nervous voice.

"I don't know about that. Right now, I don't think there's a solid target on anyone's back" said Ryder as he tried to reassure Katie.

"I don't want to be the 1ST person voted off. I don't even know who to vote for tonight" said Katie as she fidgeted & shook nervously.

"I'm voting for Mayabella tonight. The reason why is because I don't know her as well as the rest of you. If you vote Mayabella as well that'll be 2 votes against her. If she gets 1-2 other votes she's out" said Ryder.

"Do you think anyone else would vote her off?" asked Katie in an uncertain tone.

"I'll try & convince the other 3 to vote her off. Then I'll tell her everyone's voting off Danny so that she doesn't catch on" said Ryder.

"Thanks Ryder. You're the best" said Katie as she smiled & gave Ryder a hug. She was glad to know that Ryder was looking out for her. Ryder then went to look for Ace, Carlos & Danny. He proceeded to talk with them about the plan to vote off Mayabella. None of them confirmed that it would be how they voted that night, but they agreed to think about it. Ryder then went to find Mayabella & tell her about the fake plan to vote off Danny.

"Hi Mayabella. Have you thought about who you're voting off tonight?" asked Ryder with curiosity in his voice.

"Not really. What about you?" asked Mayabella.

"I think it's best we vote off Danny. He's quite reckless & I fear that while we're in here he might end up either hurting himself or someone else. Voting him off would be a benefit to everyone" said Ryder.

"Good point. I'm OK with that" said Mayabella as she smiled at Ryder.

"Excellent. Hopefully everyone else will agree" said Ryder as he smiled at Mayabella before walking away. He felt bad for deceiving Mayabella, but he knew that if she found out about the plan to vote her off it'd only make matters worse.

"I'd hate to see us arguing & fighting over this game. It'd ruin the experience for everyone. Hopefully tonight everything will go by without incident" thought Ryder as he sighed sadly. Throughout the rest of the day everyone went about doing their own thing as they waited for the elimination ceremony. Although they all felt a bit nervous about it they all felt like they knew what to expect & that everything would be fine. Just before the elimination ceremony began the camera focused back on Elias & Kelly. They looked straight at the camera as they addressed the audience.

"It's been an exciting 1ST day in the loft. In a few minutes 1 of the contestants will be eliminated" said Elias as he looked straight into the camera.

"Let's get the contestants together in the living room so that the ceremony can begin" said Kelly as the focus switched back to the loft. Elias & Kelly used the speakers to address everyone.

"Contestants please go to the living room. It's time for the elimination ceremony" said Elias.

"In a few minutes 1 of you will be eliminated from the game. Who goes is up to you" said Kelly.

The contestants went into the living room & sat on the couch in front of the TV. Elias & Kelly appeared on the screen to explain how the ceremony would work.

"Hello everyone. Welcome to the elimination ceremony. Here's how it works: 1 at a time you'll enter the confessional where a table is set up. On that table is a box with paper & a pen in front of it. You'll write down the name of the person you wish to vote off & place it in the box. Once that's done you'll return to the couch. After all the votes have been cast we'll reveal 1 by 1 who's safe. The person left at the end who hasn't been called safe is eliminated. They must say their goodbyes & leave the loft immediately" said Elias.

"Time to begin. Since Ryder has immunity he can't be voted off. Ace you're up 1ST" said Kelly.

Ace went into the confessional & proceeded to cast her vote. Once she did she returned to the couch. The other contestants took their turn to vote 1 by 1 in alphabetical order. Once they all voted the results were tallied. They all sat anxiously not knowing who'd be eliminated. After Elias & Kelly were informed of the results the ceremony continued.

"OK we need all of you to stand up. If we call you safe you may sit down again" said Elias.

"Whoever is left standing at the end is eliminated. Good luck to you all" said Kelly as the contestants stood up. All of them were feeling nervous since they had no idea how the others had voted.

"Ryder since you have immunity you're safe. You may sit down" said Elias.

"Good luck guys" said Ryder as he sat down & waited to see who else would be safe.

"The next person safe is… Ace. You may sit down" said Kelly.

"That's a relief" said Ace as she smiled & sat down.

"The 3RD contestant safe is… Katie. You may sit down" said Elias.

"I actually thought it would be me. What a close call" said Katie as she sighed in relief & sat down.

"The 4TH contestant safe is… Carlos. You may sit down" said Kelly.

"That was close. Now I don't feel so nervous" said Carlos as he sat down. Danny & Mayabella gulped nervously. Neither of them knew who'd be eliminated.

"Danny & Mayabella 1 of you is safe & the other is eliminated. I can reveal that the vote was 5-1. Good luck" said Elias.

"Whichever of you is eliminated must say their goodbyes & leave the loft immediately" said Kelly.

"With 1 vote the final contestant safe is… Danny. You may sit down" said Elias.

"Yay I'm still in the game" said Danny as he smiled in satisfaction while sitting down. Mayabella knew that what Ryder had told her earlier was a lie, but she appeared not to take it too hard.

"Mayabella you've been eliminated with 5 votes. Please say your goodbyes & leave the loft" said Kelly.

All the other contestants gave Mayabella a hug & offered their condolences. Mayabella reassured them that it'd be OK & that she wasn't mad at anyone over the result. After saying goodbye to everyone Mayabella left the loft & was greeted out the front by Elias & Kelly.

"Hello Mayabella. It's nice to see you" said Elias as he smiled warmly at Mayabella & gave her a hug.

"It's unfortunate to see you out of the game so early. You played well" said Kelly as she also smiled & gave Mayabella a hug.

"It's OK. That's how the game goes. It is what it is" said Mayabella as she sat down next to Elias & Kelly.

"Were you surprised when the results were revealed?" asked Elias in a curious voice.

"Not really. I know that Ryder told me earlier that everyone was voting off Danny but now I know he only said that to avoid causing conflict. Had nobody told me about the vote whether it was true or not I probably would've been more shocked at the result" said Mayabella.

"Did you have fun while you played the game?" asked Kelly.

"Yes. Even if I didn't make it far I still had fun playing the game. I wouldn't change anything about my time here" said Mayabella with a soft smile.

"If you won the challenge today who do you think would've been voted off instead?" asked Elias.

"Probably Danny. Now that I'm out I think he'll likely be the next to go. I suppose only time will tell if I'm right" said Mayabella.

"Before you go who do you think will win?" asked Kelly.

"I'm not entirely sure. I think Ryder has the best chance but it's too early to tell" said Mayabella.

"Thanks for playing Mayabella. We enjoyed having you here" said Elias as he smiled at Mayabella.

"We'll see you at the finale. Take care" said Kelly as she also smiled at Mayabella.

"I will. See you later" said Mayabella as she smiled while giving Elias & Kelly a hug before leaving. Elias & Kelly then looked at the camera to address the audience.

"That's all for today. 5 contestants remain. Tomorrow we'll find out who'll be eliminated next" said Elias as he smiled into the camera.

"Thanks for joining us. See you tomorrow for another thrilling episode of Extreme Challenge: The Ultimate Showdown. Goodnight everyone" said Kelly as she smiled at the camera. The focus returned to the loft showing everyone's reactions to Mayabella's elimination & what they did after the ceremony. The credits then played before the show ended.

"That was a fantastic start to the game. I bet tomorrow will be just as if not more than exciting as today" said Elias with an enthusiastic smile.

"Indeed. Let's go home. It's going to be a busy day tomorrow" said Kelly as she smiled while leaving the studio with Elias to return home & rest. In the loft everyone was settling down for the evening. Now that Mayabella was gone they were all 1 step closer to the $50,000. None of them knew what to expect over the next few days but they knew that it'd be filled with action, excitement & thrills. After eating dinner & bathing/showering everyone went to bed. As Ryder lay awake he thought about how the game would go & what to expect in the coming days.

"This is going to be a rough game. I feel bad about lying to Mayabella. It wasn't easy deceiving her like that but hopefully she's not mad about it. I have a feeling this game will only get harder from here. If everyone targets me because I won the 1ST challenge, I won't be surprised. All I can do is try my best & see how well I do. Tomorrow is a new day. With some rest I'll be ready for what comes our way" thought Ryder as he drifted off to sleep.
