First off, I would like to wish my buddy, Explosivo25, a very HAPPY BIRTHDAY! Second off, I like to wish my buddy Pikachu4Prezident my deepest condolences for the death of his Uncle.
This part, we know our kids some more! Also, the first challenge!
Now, to play with Super Power!
Now in the film lot, Chris was leading the kids, all while talking to them as well.
"This season, we'll have a cornucopia of awesome challenges! Some challenges, some of the more geekier kids will enjoy!" Chris said, smiling. "Like, for example… gaming?"
"Yawn..." replied Azura. "Too boring."
"And too flooded with First Person Shooters." said Peki, sighing. "Whatever happened to just stomping on the enemy?"
""I'm hoping for a Kirby challenge!" Danielle commented, smiling underneath her mask.
"Kirby? Hell, Chip and Dale is due for a remake!" Peki replied back. "Hey, if Ducktales got remade..."
"They did?" Danielle asked. "Did the Moon theme blow anyone's socks off?"
"And how!" Alora said out loud, overhearing the two. "I may not be a gamer, but I also listen to BGM from games as well!"
"Anyways…" Chris interrupted the three, as he guided the kids to a stage. "Here's the stage for the Awards Ceremony! And this is one ceremony you DON'T wanna attend! Cause the person with the most votes will be sent packing!"
"As long as Chef isn't in drag this time around…" Coco replied. "I don't there's an herbal tea to erase THAT memory."
"Traumatized by Chef in drag, huh?" Wiley said, smiling at Coco. "You and me, both."
"But tonight, NO ONE is going home!" Chris shouted, which made the tweens cheer with glee.
"This is so cool!" said Haruto, looking really happy.
"And here's your Confessional of the season!" Chris said, standing outside a make-up trailer. "You can say your deepest darkest stuff to the world… But it may be broadcast to the world, so beware…"
"Yeesh, say that like it's a bad thing, why don't ya?" Kacy stated.
Confessional: I'm back! With more arm room!
Peki: (She is praying) Father? I need to confess something… I was the one that used Yasmin's Twilight disc for a mock Mythbusters experiment. …Oh, wrong confessional? Oops.
Coco: How I love chocolate? Well… You can melt it, in your mouth and not your hand, you can bake it, make it into chocolate milk…
Tilly: What tough competition… They have to fall by my hand. Shame, too… That Wiley guy's kinda cute.
Coco: There's chocolate cake, chocolate-covered shrimp, chocolate sandwiches… Hey, I found a way, don't deny it!
Quant: Such… evil. And yet, that girl with the out of place earrings is wanting to help me… Why?
Dusty Jr: These campers don't know the meaning of the word defeat… I shall take them all down. Dustin Jr. rep-re-sent!
Haruto: Yeah, to tell you the truth, I'm kinda nervous about being here; I rather be drawing right now. -He then looks at his spiked wristbands, and looks back up.- ...But my sister convinced me to do this. For you, Korpse!
Now the campers were outside what appeared to be a very nice-looking house.
"See this thing of beauty?" Chris said, smiling. "If your team comes in first, you get to spend the night in here!"
"Asombroso..." Tilly muttered in her native language.
"Cool, and its got its own porch swing, too!" Alora commented. "Nothing like thinking up new tunes while sipping lemonade outside."
"I agree with you on the lemonade." Danielle noted.
"But that's only the exterior…" Chris said, as he directed the campers inside.
Now inside the house, the kids were really amazed.
"Chris?" Ivan stated. "I'm giving you a 39,469 on the HHA Scale."
"Freak." Bitty replied to Ivan's comment.
"And look at this big, awesome couch!" Cyrus said out loud, as he sat on it. "And its comfy, to boot! Chris, did it belong to a cute clown I liked growing up?"
"And that clown went on to totally destroy the Umbrella corporation..." Xylia replied out loud. "Hey, it's SOOOOO true, look it up!"
Haruto chuckled. "Well, I've got inspiration for a drawing later on, now."
"Eh, who cares about some couch?" Kacy asked out loud. "Look at the big-screen TV!"
"And a Wii U!" Xylia also announced. "Does it come with both Earthbound games installed on it?"
"Yeah… Does it?" Kiri asked as well.
"You bet!" Chris replied.
"AWESOME!" Xylia and Kiri shouted out loud, as the two gave off a high-five.
"We also have an Xbox for the more mature tweens…"
"And the air conditioning!" Coco said, as she laid her head on top of an air conditioning vent. "Gotta love the air conditioning!"
"Yeah, especially if it's on full blast." Felix replied, as he chuckled.
"This also comes equipped with individual soundproof bedrooms, each with its individual bathrooms." Chris commented.
"Good, because there are some secrets I don't want released to the world to see…" Danielle replied.
"That you may be an android?" Haruto asked.
"Um… Maybe?" A confused Danielle replied.
"And because Loud Kiddington over there may deafen us with her shouting." Azura snarked, as she looked at Sophie, who was just whistling loudly to herself.
"Okay, let's move on." Chris said, as they left the house.
Confessional: Her voice is loud, Sophie Songbird!
Felix: Yeeaahh, I really rubbed off of Ivy, huh?
Danielle: No, I'm not an android. But I still do have a secret I don't want released to the world…
Azura: I already know for a fact that loud girl's gonna be annoying. Order is in, Chaos is out. Get with the program.
Sophie: WHOOOO, who cares about what Azura thinks? And look what I found in the closet! -She holds up a guitar, with some buttons- Maybe Quant can carry on through the Fire and the Flames?
Peki: In one of those rooms… I can train up my Pokemon. Hey, gotta be ready when any new games comes out!
Rattles: Here's hoping it isn't too large, just in case a snake sneaks inside, and it scares someone and causes them to have nightmares.
Lucas: That house is really nice, to boot.
Most of the Tweens were now inside a meager looking trailer.
"Kids? If you come in Second Place, the Middle of the Road Trailer is where you'll be bunking." Chris said. "It comes with your standard living supplies, but nothing that major."
"Hey, better than nothing." Ivan replied. "It's why I gotta give it a 4,200. I took away 100 points, due to a lack of a houseplant."
"I've got one, but I rather not let go of it." Kiri said out loud. "Well, for personal reasons."
"You'll still have an SNES to play with, but still…" Chris commented. "Nothing compares to the Sega Genesis."
"Yeah, the Sega VS Nintendo wars were brutal BOMB times..." Burt said out loud.
"But it also led to my parents hooking up." Cyrus commented back. "Plus, its got some neat games, to boot! Super Mario World, Kirby Super Star, Super Metroid..."
Natz knelled down next to Cyrus to inspect the games as well.
"Hmm… Donkey Kong Country." Natz commented to herself. "Good times..."
"So, how about the losers?" Bitty asked.
"Geez, you say it like it's a bad thing…" Cyrus said, inspecting the games. "Ooh, Star Fox!"
"It IS a bad thing, idiot!" Bitty replied.
"That's a good question, Bitty! Follow me! The same counts for you two nostalgic kids, too!" Chris announced, as the kids followed Chris.
Confessional: Second Best
Bitty: No escaping my fashion critiques from me in there! Although I really like the first place house.
Felix: Even though I wasn't inside, I got the gist of it… And don't get me wrong, but I really adore Snow Barrel Blast from DKC.
Natz: Is it bad for me to say I really liked the level Orang-utan Gang? The sunset during the level is so… beautiful.
Burt: Yeah, the classics are a BOMB good thing… -Smiles-
Now some of the Tweens were inside a cabin that's seen… to put it, better days. There were four futons, as thus as some thin blankets and pillows. There was also carpeting on the floors, although not much of it.
"And this is the Losers Cabin. If you come in Last Place, you'll be sleeping in here, after voting off one of your own." Chris announced, as he looked at Ivan. "Your thoughts, Crossing Kid?"
"I give it a 1,325. Least you have a place to sleep." Ivan said, before continuing. "I don't think house plants will save this house."
"Ivan..." Peki asked. "You know a lot about the Animal Crossing series… Any pointers on how one can make this cabin more… fruitiful?"
"Well, wallpapering the cabin's… Can prove to be somewhat of a problem." Ivan noted.
"Plus, I can always do a patch-job on the carpeting." Cyrus said out loud.
"So, who are the teams?" Alora asked.
"We'll get to that; right now, we have one more place to visit…" Chris replied.
Inside the Mess Hall, labeled the Cafeteria in the lot, Chef Hatchet was cooking. Between seasons, he had a chance to improve his cooking. The result?
"Um, did my sausage totally blow a raspberry at me?" Xylia asked, as she took further expectation. "I think the tongue also looks SOOOOO like bacon?"
"Yeah, this is quite illogical, if I say so, myself." Azura commented.
"And yet, the best of both worlds!" Sophie shouted out loud, interrupting the two.
"Tsk, tsk, tsk..." A voice said from the kitchen. "Always trying to combine two foods into one… How do you do it?"
The voice then came into view. He had a hairstyle similar to Cyrus, but only this person was of the same age as the tweens, and was wearing a blue t-shirt with a wavy light blue line, purple shorts, and had a lampshade on his head.
Natz looked at Cyrus, and the new person. "Cyrus… That someone you know?"
"Hell if I knew; I never saw him before." Cyrus replied back.
Sophie, meanwhile, starred at the new person.
"Whoo… Hoo..." Sophie muttered to herself, as she smiled at the new guy.
The new guy looked at Sophie in return, as...
"Kitt! We need some watermelon and oranges, pronto!" Chef Hatchet ordered out loud, interrupting Kitt's trance.
"Oh! Coming, Chef!" Kitt said out loud, as he began to do his job, but not before giving one last look at Sophie.
"Kitt… What a cool name..." Sophie muttered, smiling along the way.
Quant was concerned, so she tapped the nearest person (Haruto) near her.
"Hey, is the loud girl okay?" Quant asked.
"Yeah… She'll be fine." Haruto answered.
"I think I hear wedding bells in the far off future..." Kacy whispered to Lucas with a grin on her face.
Confessional: Puppy Love
Quant: Whatever it was… We need loud girl to focus. Because non-focus is… well, evil. Still, she seemed happy…
Sophie: Kitt… Still a cool name. And a cutie as well!
Kiri: Yep, that blonde girl's in love… Here's hoping it goes well.
Coco was looking at her food. "Guys, even I don't think food looks like that, when a baseball team I was in went out for dinner."
She then looked at Danielle, who was blending some food in a portable blender. She then poured the liquefied foodstuff in a cup, and began drinking it.
"Wow, you're taking this outfit gimmick seriously, huh?" Coco asked, as she took a look at the liquid Danielle was drinking. "Can I have a sip?"
Danielle smiled underneath her mask. "Sure."
With Quant, she was sitting down, and nibbling on a slice of bread, as Kacy approached her.
"You're eating bread?" Kacy asked out loud.
"Yeah… So what?" Quant asked back.
"There's lots of yummy stuff, and you chose just boring, bland bread?" Kacy asked again.
"It's what I like." Quant replied.
"Man shall not live off bread alone." Lucas quoted out loud.
"Yeah, even that cutie Bibleman has the idea." Kacy replied back. "At least eat something with more oomph, like a tomato!"
Xylia, upon hearing that, quickly shook her head.
"Or… maybe an orange?" Kacy asked, sheepishly holding up an orange.
Meanwhile, Ivan was in the middle of his lunch, when Danielle, having finished her lunch, came up to him.
"Hey, you feeling okay, Ivan?" Danielle asked.
"Yeah, I'm doing good." Ivan replied. "Just making some design ideas to use via Cyrus over at Re-Tail. You?"
"Eh, I'm just looking at Peki talking to Felix about something." Danielle said, as she looked further. "Does that resemble a pogo stick?"
"Seems like it." Ivan replied, taking a bite into his meal.
Soon enough, the intercom came on.
"Kids! Time for your first challenge!" Chris announced out loud. "And your first challenge? You'll be visiting a certain new… world."
"About time. This is getting really boring." Azura replied back.
"I shall lead the way… Follow me, ladies!" Dusty Jr. said out loud, as he flashed his hair and started to leave the mess hall, causing most of the girls to follow him.
"I… don't get him." Danielle commented out loud.
"Yeah, me either." Ivan replied back. "Just one hair flip, and most of the girls are following him. Well, except for you, Natz, and Quant."
"Well, to tell you the truth… Dusty Jr's movies are kinda… bland. Give me Johnny Yong Bosch any day of the week." Danielle winked at Ivan from inside her suit.
Currently, the 23 kids were standing in front of a futuristic device. There were several pods, looking like it could fit anyone. There was also a big screen TV next to the pod, as well as some computers hooked up to the pod. Felix and Xylia was looking at the machine in awe.
"That thing is… totally awesome..." Xylia muttered to herself.
"You and me both..." Felix also said to himself.
"Kids… Welcome to our challenge that'll determine the teams!" Chris shouted out loud. "But first… Do you recognize this game?"
He presses a button on the keyboard, and on the big screen TV displayed…
"Super Mario World?" Cyrus asked. "Score!"
"Yep, it was THE game to display 16-Bit graphics!" Chris announced back. "Sure, we would go for 'tude and have you go through Sonic 2, but all you would all do is attempt to kill Tails."
"He deserved it. Having two tails is completely unfashionable!" Bitty replied back.
"I would say… otherwise." Felix commented, as he took out what appeared to be a device, and attached it on his butt. Within a moment, it lifted the Inventor into the air, making him fly like the fox from the Sega games.
"Showoff..." Bitty snarked.
"That, and some of you are speedy enough, lookin' at you, Coco. Anyways, you lot will be going through the first four levels of the Yoshi's Island world, as in no going through Yoshi's Island 1 just to get the Yellow Switch Palace." Chris announced out loud.
"Well, so much for an easy time." Haruto commented to himself.
"And don't worry, these are the original levels in their original format; I didn't hack the games, just to add in a Super Mario Maker touch in by adding in Lakitus throwing out Bowsers, holding Hammer Bros." Chris said, as he looked at Xylia.
"Awwwwww, come on!" Xylia complained. "You haven't totally lived until you SOOOO faced off against the ultimate Mario challenge!"
" Now, do you guys see this machine right here?" Chris asked, as…
"Yep, I know. Its the VirtuPod 4000." Felix answered. "It allows anyone to be transported into a virtual world."
"Almost like Code Lyoko?" Rattles asked.
"Almost, but not quite." Chris explained. "Anyways, don't worry if you sustain any injuries in the virtual world; it'll just be like a tickle to you. Plus, your jumping heights will also be heightened, so the non athletic ones can still keep up."
"Hey, like it was my fault I blew it in basketball..." Ivan muttered.
"Now, enter the pods, and await for further instructions!" Chris ordered, as the kids did so.
Confessional: Jack In! TRANSMIT!
Danielle: This is some Megaman Battle Network crap right there.
Tilly: Pfft, I don't play video games. But this challenge seems interesting. I can examine everyone's strengths and weaknesses and use them to my advantage.
Coco: Time to employ what I would like to call… -Tosses a Hershey's Kiss into the air and catches it with her mouth, eating it- Speed-Running Tactics!
Now in some white room, the tweens were waiting further instructions.
"Wow… All of this white is BOMB hurting my eyes..." Burt muttered out.
"Yeah, I agree; this room needs some color." Haruto also said out loud.
"So, we're in another dimension." Kacy commented. "When do we get to run wild?"
"Cool your heart markings, Kacy." Chris replied back, as what appeared to be three pipes rising up from the ground. "See those pipes that's rising up? Once you enter them, you'll never know who you'll be working with. And once a pipe is full up, it'll be corked, so any stragglers'll be unable to enter the pipes. But enough talk, time to warp!"
The kids started to run towards the pipes, and once they got to them, some of them jumped into them straight away. For some of them, though…
"Let's work together!" Sophie said out loud, as she grabbed Quant's hand.
"Um, huh?" Quant asked out loud.
"We'll be a powerhouse duo! We'll take on these Koopa scum! Let's rock! WHOOOO!" Sophie shouted out loud, as she jumped into the rightmost warp pipe, dragging a hesitant Quant with her for the ride.
Ivan tried to jump in one of the pipes, but…
"Outta my way, Crossing boy!" Azura said out loud, knocking Ivan off the center pipe, as she jumped into her warp pipe.
With Natz, she was looking down in the leftmost warp pipe with worry.
"I dunno..." Natz muttered, as a comforting hand was placed on her back.
"Natz… It'll be totally fine, trust me." Xylia replied out loud.
"So… ladies..." Dusty Jr commented, as he jumped into the air flashing his hair in the proccess, "Who wants to follow me?"
He soon entered the warp pipe, as a grin grew on the Rookie Cook's face.
"I DO!" Xylia yelled out loud, unknowingly grabbing Natz's hand, and jumping down into the warp pipe with Natz.
"Whhhhoooo..." Natz could only yell out. At that moment, a giant cork fell on the top of the pipe, blocking any further entry.
Ivan tried again to enter the pipe again as…
"Ya snooze, ya lose… Cutie." Tilly commented, as she jumped down the pipe, accidentally knocking Ivan off.
"Aww… crap." Ivan cursed out loud, as someone approached him.
"Hey, don't you worry about them, Brother Ivan." Lucas commented. "My kind may be classified as a pansy who tries to shove my beliefs down people's throats, but I'm far more from that than you'll believe."
"How?" Ivan asked.
"Just have some faith, Brother." Lucas replied back with a smile, as he hopped into the rightmost pipe.
Ivan nodded, and jumped into the pipe following Lucas.
TEAM 1
Upon entering, a booming voice yelled out to the kids.
"Welcome! This is Wawanakwa Land! In this awesome land, though not as awesome as me, it seems that Princess Sugar is kidnapped! Looks like Leonard is at it… again."
"Hey!" Coco said out loud. "Change it to… Um, Princess Beth, and Leonard to Duncan, and we gotta deal!"
"Fiiinnneee… Princess Beth is kidnapped, Duncan is at it again. There, you happy?"
"Much better, now we have a more better cause to fight for." Coco nodded.
"So… Shall we start?" Haruto asked, as the group started to make past what could be assumed to be a bunch of trees, fashioned into a house.
"Okay, this is completely illogical." Azura commented. "Why would an exterior need a lit chimney, on an island-like environment?"
"Never underestimate the power of fire, buddy!" Coco replied back, heating what is assumed to be hot cocoa.
"I am not your buddy..." Azura said out loud.
"Guys, look at this." Felix commented, as he handed over a note to Danielle.
Hello! Sorry, I'm not home, but I have gone to rescue my friends, who have been captured by Duncan.
-Yoshi
Tilly heard Danielle's words, as she began to leave. "Well, we're trespassing. Let's bail before we get busted."
"Yeah, we should." Danielle replied back, as she stuck the note to the tree, as the group began to make their way towards a wooded area.
Upon passing a bush, Tilly jumped high onto a ledge, as she eyeballed a group of Koopa Troopas headed her way. She suddenly wrapped herself into a ball, as she took a glance at one of the campers.
"Yo, gatto amiga!" Tilly yelled out, as Danielle jumped onto the ledge. "Toss me!"
Danielle shrugged, as she did so, causing Tilly to bowl over the entire squadron of Koopas that were headed her way.
"Ariba!" Tilly yelled out loud in glee, unwrapping and making a pose.
"Um, nice job, Tilly." Haruto said out loud, while holding a koopa shell. "But next time, try this."
Tilly visually sighed. "Really? I could have tossed that around the WHOLE time? Mierda!"
Azura also sighed, this time, in frustration.
"I'm surrounded by idiots..." said Azura, as…
"Speed Running Tactics FOR THE WIN! YEAH!" Coco yelled out loud, running past the team.
"...Moreso than usual." Azura muttered to herself.
Confessional: Someone's a bit hyper…
Coco: I haven't done this much running ever since I was on the baseball team! Granted, I was given the boot for being TOO fast, but still…
Tilly: Ugh, give me a break! I never played any of those stupid games before! Plus, that cat suited girl's kinda cute… Its a mystery of what's underneath, though…
Haruto: I gotta admit; Super Mario World is one of the games I am good at… Still, I'm an artist, not a gamer!
Danielle: Hey, if Tilly wanted to be tossed…
About a few seconds later, Peki hit a block, releasing some kinda egg. It instantly hatched, revealing a dinosaur.
"Horray! Thank you for rescuing me. My name is Yoshi. On my way to rescue my friends, Bowser trapped me in that egg." The Yoshi said out loud.
"I know what to do, now." Peki commented, as she got on the Yoshi. "Onwards, Yoshi! Follow the Vitligo-Patterned Girl!"
"Yeah, wherever she is." Felix replied back. "She must be halfway to Donut Plains 3 by now."
Danielle softly chuckled. "Even I know that's not true."
"Hey, she did mention Speed Running..." Felix replied back.
The group continued on the path, and after evicting two Koopa Troopas from their shells, they climbed up a rather small hill. What awaited them was…
"Ooh, a smelly jock!" Azura said out loud. "Whatever, he must be brain-dead to even attempt to do anything."
"Um, Azura?" Peki asked with concern. "I wouldn't wanna temp faith. That football player right there? It's a Chargin' Chuck. They're highly unpredictable."
"Really? It's not like he has an entire team on him." Azura commented, as the Chargin' Chuck started to whistle out loud. Almost like instinct, what appeared to be shelless Koopa Troopas wearing what appeared to be capes started to swoop down.
"Crap… It's a divebomb." Danielle muttered. "RUN!"
The entire team started to do so, as Peki's Yoshi ate most of them if they got close to her.
"Hey, what gives?! Whistlin' Chucks don't even appear in the first world!" Peki complained.
Confessional: Yeah, summoning enemies are usually reserved for later levels.
Chris: Hey, I didn't exactly tell the truth… I may have made a couple mods to the enemies make it more tougher and unexpected.
After passing through some pipes, and hitting another block containing an egg, they were disappointed to find out that a green mushroom came out of it.
"Aww..." Tilly muttered.
"I think only one Yoshi can be out on the field at a time." Haruto stated.
"Now you tell me..." Tilly muttered, as Tilly leaned next to a dirt wall. "At least we're away from the divebombing enemies."
At that moment, some ground begin to crumble away from said dirt wall. At that moment, what appeared to be a mole-like enemy came bursting out, and begin to chase Tilly.
"Mierda!" Tilly cursed out loud, as she kicked the mole away.
"Hey, it's only a Monty Mole; nothing to be frightened of." Peki replied back, as she had Yoshi eat the dirt, right before the Mole had a chance to burst out.
"And your dino can eat dirt?" Tilly asked out loud, as Peki nodded. "Man, I really gotta brush up on this kinda stuff..."
A few more moments passed by, along with some more mole stomping/eating, as they soon approached a couple of pipes. From one of them, what appeared to be the top of a red and white-spotted venus fly trap came flying out.
"Forget about it; let's book it!" Danielle said out loud, as she hit what appeared to be a yellow block from above her, causing a purple switch to fall onto the ground. Stomping on it with her foot, some coins from above materialized into solid bricks. "Get on top! Trust me!"
"Why should I trust you?" Azura asked back, as she spotted why: Another Chargin' Chuck. "Oh… Right."
The entire team ran on top of the solidified coins, as they jumped towards the goal, with Danielle crossing first.
DANIELLE COURSE CLEAR!
"Whew… That's… a hoot." Danielle commented out loud, as…
"Hey, what took you so long?" Coco, leaning onto a bush, joked out loud.
"Wait, you got that far on your own?" Peki asked back.
"Hey, it was only the first level." Coco answered back. "Had it been any of the later levels… It be some cause for concern."
"Well, you're right about that." Haruto commented.
The team exited the slightly wooded area, as they looked at the mountain range that was standing in front of them.
"So, um… Who's good at mountain climbing?" Felix asked out loud.
Confessional: Well, at least they didn't die. That's a start.
Azura: Gaming… Such a waste of time. -Pushes glasses in- And I'm stuck with three girls that don't know what a true geek is… Still, this is still gonna be easy.
Team 2
The team has got through the first level with ease, and was in approaching the second level they had to get through. Currently, Quant was questioning what she done back there.
"I thought that was evil." Quant commented.
"For the last time, Quant, they're just video game sprites." Sophie said out loud. "They'll be okay from those stomps; don't worry!"
"I still think it's evil..." Quant pouted, as Sophie stopped the group. Looking up at a huge mountain, she grinned.
"Guys, guys… I wanna do this just this once." Sophie commented, as she jumped onto the top of the mountain.
"She isn't..." Rattles said out loud.
"She is..." Wiley commented back.
Sophie took a huge breath, and smiled.
"YODELEY-HEEEEEEEEEEEEEE-HOOOOOOOOOOO!" Sophie yodeled out loud.
Kacy grinned at that powerful yodel. "Cool, you've got some lungs, Soph!"
"Thank you! I'll be here all week!" Sophie replied back with a grin. "Now, then… Last one to the goal's a rotten egg!"
"Right behind you, Sister Sophie!" Lucas commented, all while riding his Yoshi.
The team jumped on various ledges, and even a few swinging platforms to boot. When they finally got to some solid ground…
"Whew, I haven't did this much jumping since my botched ballet days..." Alora commented out loud.
"Yeah, I never thought I be hopping around in the first challenge." Ivan replied back.
"So… Let's continue on." Wiley commented out loud. "We don't wanna end up in last place; the parting gifts aren't that favorable."
"It can't be that bad, Brother Wiley." said Lucas with a gentle smile.
"Does a toaster and a life time supply of Twinkies mean anything to you?" Wiley asked back with a grin.
The team continued to jump on floating platforms, as well as other forms of platforms, as they reached the goal.
WILEY COURSE CLEAR!
"Well, that wasn't that bad." Ivan said out loud.
"So, where we headed next?" Kacy asked.
"Well, according to where we're headed..." Lucas answered, as he looked out into the distance, and could see what appeared to be a castle far towards the horizon, being blocked off by a source of water. "We gotta cross some lake. No big deal."
The team looked down at the clear, flowing lake, watching the Cheep-Cheeps swim by.
"Hmm… I wonder what fish taste like..." Quant commented to herself. "Most likely evil."
One of the Cheep-Cheeps, somehow hearing that, jumped outta the water, and slapped Quant on the face with its tail-fin. Thankfully, Ivan came to the rescue by catching the Cheep-Cheep with his bug net, and hurled it across the horizon.
"Yeesh, talk about your mean seafood..." Alora commented.
Lucas closed his eyes. "Which of you campers, if you comment on a fish, will be given a snake, instead?"
He then opened his eyes as he looked at Rattles.
"Present company excepted." Lucas commented.
"Let's book it, guys!" Kacy yelled out loud, as she slapped another one away with her Star wand. "The fishies are revolting!"
Hopping onto a floating platform that began to sink, and onto a smaller platform, they breathed a sigh of relief.
"Wow, all that from three fish?" Wiley asked out loud.
"Yeah, apparently." Kacy answered back.
The team continued on, jumping on the floating platforms. At one point, a floating ball of spikes came towards the campers, and Ivan stubbed his toe on it.
"Oww… fffff..." Ivan yelped out in pain, rubbing his foot.
"Yeesh, we gotta find a way to travel across this aqua-natic world safely, before we're dragged too deep." Alora commented.
Rattles, finding a solitary Koopa shell, kicked it up towards a yellow block, causing a P-Switch to fall down. He soon stomped on it, causing some nearby coins to solidify into brown blocks.
"How do you..." Quant asked out loud about Rattles' action.
"Who cares? Let's flock, brothers and sisters!" Lucas yelled out.
The team ran as fast as they could across the coin bridge. And even though they had to jump on some floating platforms on water, and through some spikey balls, it never seemed to phase them that much. Upon getting to the end, they could eye a pipe.
"Quick, everyone! Inside!" Kacy ordered, as everyone jumped in.
The team soon reached the goal, as a camper crossed first.
LUCAS COURSE CLEAR!
"Well, I'll never call fishing a lame activity again." Rattles commented.
"But on the bright side..." Ivan said out loud, as he presented the team the castle itself. It stood tall and proud, overlooking the island.
"So… This is Iggy's castle, huh?" Alora questioned. "What awaits us in there?"
"Who knows..." Sophie answered, as she looked up. "YO, IGGY! YA HOME?!"
"Sophie, what if this Iggy's napping?" Rattles asked, as the doors opened. "Well, that answers my question."
"Well, whatta we waiting for? Let's enter and take down this Iggy once and for all!" Sophie commented out loud.
The campers entered, with Lucas leaving Yoshi at the entrance.
"Sorry, pal. But we gotta leave ya here. Thanks a lot, Brother!" Lucas said to his dino friend, as he patted it on the head.
Confessional: Castle Crashers, anyone?
Wiley: On the bright side, it shouldn't be as hard as Takeshi's Castle.
Kacy: So, on our first day, we went toe to toe against various Mario enemies. I may not be that keen on gaming, but I can call today a success!
Quant: Why does… everyone care for me? All my life was filled with uncaring and evil…
Team 3
Kiri, leading the way, managed to get the team through the three levels with ease. They were now in Iggy's Castle, present to the challenges that awaited them.
"Whoa… Talk about a super-long fence, hon..." Gladys commented to herself.
"And enough for us to climb on." Cyrus also said out loud.
"Let's save the climbing for later; there's a patch of fencing later on for that." Kiri commented. "Now, onwards!"
The group saw some Koopa Troopas hanging on the fencing. Dusty Jr developed a grin.
"Well, if it worked with the ladies..." Dusty Jr said out loud, as he flashed his hair… To no luck. "...What? What gives? Did my hair break?"
"I'm sure it BOMB only works in the real world." Burt commented back.
"And besides, turtle shells are unfashionable, anyway." Bitty replied.
The group continued on, as they spotted some fencing over a large pool of molten lava, as well as a Koopa Troopa coming towards them. Kiri gave the Troopa a punch, knocking it into the lava, killing it.
"Yeesh, gotta totally admit… That is SOOOOO a brutal way to go." Xylia inquired.
Upon crossing over to the other side, they went through some more of the room. And after crossing over another pool of lava, they soon approached a door and soon entered it.
In the middle of the room, they started to hear a hissing sound.
"The heck?" Cyrus asked out loud, to see what appeared to be some putrid green-colored gas headed their way.
"Well, guess Chris needed a logical way to explain the auto scrolling..." Kiri commented back. "We should run."
"Good idea." Dusty Jr replied back. "Dusty Jr… RE-PRE-SENT!"
Dusty Jr then tried to run to the end of the hall, as he was shocked by what appeared to be a protective laser.
"Oww… What gives?" Dusty Jr complained.
"Auto Scrolling, one of gaming's totally illogical sins. Why do we SOOOOO gotta deal with this kinda crap? All it does is totally extend the levels and make it 100% harder..." Xylia ranted, not knowing that something was about to fall on her.
"Um, Xy?" Natz asked out loud, but it was too late. The giant pillar came down, and squished Xylia. It soon retracted back up, leaving behind a cartoony flat Xylia.
"Ow..." Xylia muttered. Natz managed to reinflate Xylia back into her old self.
"Yeah, we should book it to the end, darlin'." Gladys commented. "Less we ALL end up flat as a pancake."
The team soon made their way through the rather large hall, avoiding the falling pillars that were attempting to squash them. And at the end, appeared to be a giant, red door.
"Let's book it in, guys!" Cyrus said out loud, as the group entered the door.
Upon entering the door, the group was now overlooking a rather large pool of lava, with a single piece of land floating on it. What appeared to be a rather larger Koopa Troopa was on said land, only purple colored and wearing glasses.
"Hehehehe… HAHAHAHA!" The glasses-wearing Koopa laughed out loud. "It is I, Iggy Koopa! Master of takeovers! Yes, I taken over this small island!"
"Why did you bother?" Dusty Jr asked. "All its full of is turtles, moles, and a couple football players."
"Silence, you!" Iggy ordered back. "Now, listen here… I've got a good defensive mechanism; I've got glasses!"
Dusty Jr blinked. "...Seriously?"
"Hey, you wouldn't hit a proud member of the Koopa Troop with glasses, wouldn't ya?" Iggy snarked back.
"No… I wouldn't." Dusty Jr commented back, as he looked at Natz. "But maybe Natalie would? She wears glasses, so it would be a fair fight."
"The name is Natz… And I wouldn't know how; I never fought someone before..." Natz muttered, as she removed her glasses, and gave them to Xylia. "Xylia… You wanna fight in my place?"
"Sure, never did it before, but I'll totally give it a college try." Xylia replied back, as she placed the glasses on her. At that moment, she was instantly dizzy. "Whoa… how do you SOOOO see outta these things?"
She soon removed them and gave them back to Natz.
"Sorry, but you'll have to totally take him on." said Xylia with an apologetic tone.
"Really?" Natz asked, as she put her glasses back on.
"Yeah, trust me; I can totally feel that you're tougher than you look." Xylia answered back.
Natz gulped, as she looked down. "Okay… I'll do my best."
Natz jumped onto the platform, as Iggy looked at the purple-haired girl.
"So, you decide to fight after all. Nothing personal, but now I've gotta melt you." Iggy commented out loud.
The demented Koopa Kid started to toss out what appeared to be fireballs, but the tween dodged them all.
"Okay, he's not allowing me any access towards him. What do I do?" Natz asked herself. She then eyed what appeared to be a flower on the platform. "Hmm… It's worth a shot..."
Grabbing the flower, and absorbing it, her appearance soon changed. The Hopip hat turned into a light green, her hair went all red, the blue sleeves turned into a bright red color, and her pants went all hot pink. She was now Fire Natz. Holding up a fireball, she looked at the Koopa Kid.
"Please forgive me for this..." Natz commented out loud, as she shot fireballs at the Koopa Kid, causing him to be knocked towards the edge of the platform.
"What?! No!" Iggy cried out loud.
"And now… The finish." Natz replied back, as she lept into the air, and stomped once on Iggy, sending him into the lava.
"AUUUGGGHH!" Iggy cried out loud.
"Yeah… Sorry about that!" Natz yelled back.
NATZ COURSE CLEAR!
At that moment, the pods opened up, releasing the campers back into the real world.
"Okay, that was one huge challenge." Haruto commented out loud. "So, what now?"
"Well, first off, we shall introduce the teams! To those of you that jumped down the Left-most Pipe at the beginning of the challenge, and they are Bitty, Burt, Cyrus, Dusty Jr, Gladys, Kiri, Natz, and Xylia… You're now on the Chipper Chipmunks!"
"Awesome!" Gladys said out loud.
"Eh, I've got skills, and the ladies to boot." Dusty Jr commented out loud, flashing his hair at the girls on his team, causing them all (Except for Natz) to swoon."
"Wait, that meant..." Azura asked out loud.
"Yep, the warp pipe you went down determined your place on the team!" Chris answered. "And for those that went down the right-most pipe, and they were Alora, Ivan, Kiri, Lucas, Quant, Rattles, Sophie, and Wiley, congrats! You're on the Tubular Toads, now!"
"Yeah! RIBBIT!" Kiri shouted out loud.
"And that leaves Azura, Coco, Danielle, Felix, Haruto, Joey... when he arrives, Peki, and Tilly!" Chris announced. "You're now on the Freaky Foxes!"
"Cool!" Coco exclaimed.
"Bring on the Edgics, everyone..." Azura said to herself. "Everyone knows I was OTT today."
"So, who won the challenge?" Danielle asked.
"Well, we tallied up the times, and the winners of the challenge are… The Freaky Foxes!" Chris announced, as the team cheered out loud.
"Awesome! A night outside my suit!" Danielle thought to herself.
"Score one for Speed Running tactics!" Coco replied out loud.
"And your prize is a coupon for an All You Can Eat buffet at your favorite restaurant!" Chris announced. "But in either case, 2nd goes to the Chipper Chipmunks!"
"Eh, could have been BOMB worse." Burt commented.
Bitty did some counting, and went a bit wide-eyed. "Chris, we have more girls… Does that mean that one of us has to share a bed?"
"Anyways..." Chris announced, interrupting Bitty. "Last place, and the inhabitants of the Loser's Cabin are the Tubular Toads!"
"Oh, well… Gotta have faith next time." Lucas replied with a shrug.
"Now, it's getting rather late; you may wanna rest, cause the challenges are gonna get tougher." Chris said out loud.
"And we shall take them on!" Felix replied back, as he pocketed his wrench, as Chris turned towards the camera.
"And there you have it! Our tweens have braved the first world of Super Mario World, and lived to tell the tale! But what surprises await them? Find out next time, on…"
"Total!"
"Drama!"
"Tween Throwdown!"
Loser's Cabin, Girl's Side
The Toads were getting ready for bed. Kacy was in her undershirt, which was a pink tank-top and green shorts.
"So, we lost. No biggie! We just gotta kick butt next time!" Kacy inquired out loud.
"The tune was sour today. We can get them next time." Alora commented.
"So, think Sophie snores?" Kacy asked. "I got some earmuffs just in case."
At that moment, Sophie came in, holding a couple sodas. "HI, EVERYONE! I've got sodas!"
She handed one to both Kacy and Alora. When she got to Quant…
"So… Wanna soda?" Sophie asked.
"No… sodas are evil..." Quant muttered.
"No, it isn't! Who told you that?" Sophie asked.
"...Nobody. Can I get some sleep?" Quant asked back.
"Sure, if it means that much to you..." Sophie replied back, as she laid Quant's soda down next to her cushion.
"Sophie, we just had a long day… Let's let Quant clear her head." Alora suggested.
"Yeah… Maybe we should hang outside." Sophie said out loud, as the three left the cabin, before closing the door behind Quant.
Quant, seeing that everyone left, dug deep into her pocket, and grabbed out the cookie that Xylia gave her earlier. She looked around, and threw the cookie at the wall, crumbling it to pieces.
"Stupid cookie." Quant muttered, as she went to the window, and poured the soda out.
Meanwhile, up in the Artic…
Two men, dressed in parkas, were gathering up some ice. They were commenting amongst themselves.
"Hey, why does Mr. McLean wants this ice for?" One of the men asked.
"I dunno, he said it was for a challenge." The man's coworker replied. "That, and he wanted to keep it authentic… That's what he ordered."
"Yeah, we'll never understand him, outside of his addition to his hair…" The first man said. "Think it should be enough?"
The second man was holding a rather heavy block of ice. "Just about… Jeepers, this block of ice is kinda heavier than the others…"
"Yeah… Let's get to the movie lot before this stuff melts." The first man replied, as they boarded a boat that was built to keep the ice cool.
However, inside one of the blocks, appeared to be a young boy, around the age of 10, frozen inside and well preserved. He was in a black suit, and wearing a brown hat covering his brunette hair. And that block of ice was headed to the Movie Lot…
CLIFFHANGER! And at the end of an episode, too! You could spot the changes made, huh?
