Mario Total Drama Returns
Chapter 2
Last time on Mario Total Drama Returns, our thirty contestants all arrived. Most of the veterans still hate each other, but the newbies seem pretty happy. That will most likely change. Which team will have to send a member home first? Will Midbus make it to the third episode? Find out now on Mario Total Drama Returns!
Midbus folded him arms and scowled.
Toadette wandered over. "What's the matter?"
"Did you hear what they said about me in the recap?" Midbus asked. "After I left first last time my whole life is just a joke! I hate it!"
Toadette frowned. "That's so sad. If it makes you feel more comfortable, I'd be more than happy to stand at your side and help you get further!"
Midbus smiled. "Thanks. I guess all I can do is try not to flip out again."
Fawful threw a drink at him. "Be taking that, as Fawful was doing better than you!"
Midbus clenched his fists.
Toadette sighed. "Oh, Fawful..."
"I have no idea why I was having the idea to be doing that." Fawful said. "Fawful will be leaving! Don't be hurting the Fawful!"
Midbus ran after him. "Oh no you don't!"
Toadette sat down. "It will be a miracle if we can win even one challenge."
Braixen smiled. "Look, it's Toadette!"
Eevee nodded. "It certainly is. Why did you bring us here again?"
"That's what I want to know." Mudkip added.
Eevee looked shocked. "You actually said a sentence right?"
"I'm making progress to talking like a person regular!" Mudkip exclaimed.
"And we're back to muddled words." Eevee replied.
Toadette looked confused. "What are you doing?"
Braixen stood up. "Well, I really liked you last season."
"Thank you!" Toadette exclaimed.
"I wanted to meet you, so I brought Mudkip and Eevee for support." Braixen finished.
Eevee smiled. "Hello!"
"Nice to meet." Mudkip said.
"Well, it was very nice meeting all of you." Toadette replied.
"BE LEAVING FAWFUL ALONE SCARY PIG MAN!" A voice yelled from the next car.
Toadette sighed. "I need to go rescue Fawful now because he upset Midbus."
Braixen frowned. "Bad move."
Toadsworth saw Fawful hiding on top of a cabinet with Midbus trying to reach him. "Excuse me, what is going on here?"
"That jerk insulted me!" Midbus yelled.
Fawful shrugged. "Even Toadsworth was making it further than you."
Toadsworth chuckled. "Well, that is true. Oh, and Wario too."
Midbus' face turned red with rage. "I am going to make you eat those words, old man!"
Toadsworth joined Fawful on the cabinet. "Eating words is physically impossible, so it is unsafe!"
Toadette walked in again. "Yep. We're doomed." She left again.
"You are making Fawful look like a fool!" Fawful yelled.
"You are giving me a headache!" Midbus yelled.
"You are pulling me in to this argument!" Toadsworth yelled.
Mario came into the room. "I'm not even going to ask." He picked up a glass of water and walked out.
Fawful grinned. "Are you knowing who that is Midbus?"
Midbus groaned. "Do you think I'm stupid? Everybody knows Mario."
Fawful chuckled. "It is being another person who was making it further than you."
Midbus roared. "I will crush you, little bean man!"
Toadsworth sighed. "We'll be here for a while."
(Confessional)
Midbus- See, everyone just treats me as that angry guy who got voted out first. Please let this be my redemption. Let's see, is there anything that I have over Fawful...
Fawful- It is being fun to tease Midbus. It is also being a health hazard to tease the Midbus.
Toadette- Why do I feel that my team is going the same way as my team last season? The only difference is that I won't talk down to them in the confessional, because we all know how well THAT turned out. Stupid Bowser Jr...
Sakura read a book.
Corrin sat next to her. "What are you reading?"
Sakura gasped and hid the book. "Oh! Uh... nothing of interest!"
Corrin sighed. "It's just me. Your sister. You're a great person Sakura, I don't see why you feel the need to hide yourself from everyone else."
Sakura frowned. "You might think I'm a great person, but what about everyone else? They might not think the same!"
Zelda walked over. "Hi Corrin, hi Sakura. What's going on?"
Sakura hid under the seat.
Corrin frowned. "She really doesn't like other people."
Zelda nodded. "No kidding. Come on, I'm not that bad. I'm over my jealousy problems now."
Sakura came out again. "A-alright."
Corrin had an idea. "I know what to do!" She stood up. "Hey, everyone! I don't think you know my little sis very well, so I'm going to tell you some things about her that are great!"
Sakura frowned. "Please, don't!"
Peach looked up. "Could you keep it down? I'm trying to concentrate."
Cackletta shrugged. "I don't have an excuse. I just don't care."
Loki nodded. "Same here. And I'm sure Abygail also doesn't."
Abygail shook her head. "Actually, I am rather interested in hearing about our teammates."
Loki smiled. "Ooh, good plan! If we learn more about our team, we can also figure out how to use those things to take them down!"
Abygail frowned. "Or I just want to get to know people, but that works too."
Corrin continued. "She's really smart! She knows a lot of big words! She can... uh... what can you do?"
Sakura walked out of the room. "I hate having attention on me, you know this!"
Corrin nodded. "She hates having attention on her. I know this. Wait, no! Come back!"
Peach shook her head. "Well, they're going first."
Cackletta nodded. "Just a personal preference, can we vote out the dumb one first?"
Loki scoffed. "Yeah, I can actually stand the awkward one. Corrin gets on my nerves."
Abygail sighed. "I think that they both are nice, but okay..."
Zelda heard someone knocking on the door. "Is it him?" She walked into the next room to see Link. "It is!"
Link hugged her. "Great to see you Zelda!"
Zelda scowled. "I hate those Toads. Can we not be put on the same team? Every other relationship that I know of has both sides on the same team, but can Zelda have the chance to be with her boyfriend? Of course not, she has to be stuck with a bunch of imbeciles, especially the Yoshis. I can't stand either of them."
Link looked surprised. "You really... have a lot of built up frustration."
Zelda smiled. "I do. At least I have Corrin and maybe her sister on my side. I'm sure that the cat girl will also be willing to team up with me along with her sidekick."
Link shrugged. "I don't know if you want to get mixed up with them. They seem dangerous."
"I'M dangerous!" Zelda yelled. "I single-handedly orchestrated Daisy's elimination and blackmailed Aqua last season!"
Link nodded. "Fair point. Carry on."
(Confessional)
Zelda- I've got this season in the bag! I only lost last time because of Aqua, and I will take all measures to ensure that that won't happen again. I might even consider talking to... the pink one.
Birdo plucked petals off of a flower. "He loves me, he loves me not. And the result is... he DOESN'T? This flower game is broken, as Yoshi is CLEARLY in love with me!"
Zelda sighed. "It's to take Aqua down, Zelda. It's worth it."
Yoshi watched the scene with Aqua from behind a shelf. "We need to get her gone, as soon as possible."
Aqua nodded. "Agreed. Wait, is that Zelda? What is she doing?"
Zelda groaned. "I have to do it." She walked over to Birdo. "Hi! You hate Aqua right?"
"Who?" Birdo asked.
"Oh, no. It's dumb too." Zelda mumbled. "You know, Yoshi's girlfriend?"
Birdo nodded. "Oh right, her! She has a name as dumb as her face!"
"You know that she looks pretty much exactly like Yoshi, but cyan right?" Zelda asked.
Birdo scoffed. "Of course I know that! She just looks dumb because I hate her. Anyway, you want help taking her out of the game?"
Zelda sighed. "Like you wouldn't believe. You know what happened last time, right?"
"What happened last time?" Birdo asked.
Zelda punched a wall. "Not important! Just help me take her out, and I'll help you get with Yoshi."
Birdo gasped. "Really? Deal! Definitely deal!"
Zelda smiled. "Glad to have this chat." She walked out.
Aqua gasped. "Can you believe that? They're teaming up against me! What did I ever do to them?"
Yoshi thought about it. "Well, you caused Zelda to get eliminated, kind of twice because she was too distracted by Link first time round. You insulted her several times, and told Link that she liked him. For Birdo however, no reason other than liking me."
Aqua frowned. "I asked Link if he liked Zelda, so that's not exactly the same thing, but you have a point. And made me feel kinda guilty about causing Zelda to go down this path of jealousy. But she deserved the second elimination at least."
Yoshi nodded. "Oh yeah, her jealous streak only really started after she was voted off first time."
(Confessional)
Yoshi- Well, with Zelda and Birdo teamed up, we have a problem. The season has barely started and we are in danger. This will be tough.
Aqua- Teaming up with Birdo? That's a new low, even for Zelda.
Zelda- I hate Birdo, but I hate Aqua more, so I guess it evens out.
Birdo- Zelda's going to help me get with Yoshi! Am I crazy, or just crazy lucky! Woo!
Rosalina pointed to several things on a board. "You see, if the aura is a deep blue, the person has a lot of sadness. If it is purple, they have dark secrets hidden that could ruin their being if exposed. Are you understanding this?"
Claire nodded. "Yes. This is all very interesting, Rosalina. I never knew that auras actually existed."
Rosalina smiled. "Thank you. Anyway let's continue. If the aura is red, it means that the person is angry." She saw Rosella walking over. "I feel like my aura is going to turn red very shortly."
Claire snapped her fingers. "That means that you're about to be angry, right?"
"Correct." Rosalina said.
Rosella scoffed. "Are you torturing the poor child again?"
Rosalina shook her head. "I was teaching her about the wonders of aura. I think you might be interested too."
Claire smiled. "Hey, did you know that a yellow aura means happiness?"
Rosella rolled her eyes. "I didn't know, nor did I care."
Rosalina scowled. "If you are not taking an interest, you have the right to leave."
"No, annoying you is more fun." Rosella replied.
"The lesson is finished Claire." Rosalina said.
Claire picked up her notepad. "Okay, I'll see you soon! Bye!"
Rosalina turned to Rosella. "I wish that you were no more than a statue." Suddenly a beam of light came out of her wand, turning Rosella into stone. "Oh! I didn't mean it!"
Waluigi walked in. "Hey girls, what's hip and happening-" He saw the scene. "Oh my goody gumdrops, what did you do?"
Wario followed. "What's with all the shouting?" He also noticed. "Gaaah! What happened to my to-be girlfriend?"
Rosalina gasped. "I-I really didn't mean to do this! I promise! You know I hate her, but I would never wish harm upon her!"
(Confessional)
Rosalina- I can't believe this! My wand has never done that before! At least I didn't say that I wished she was dead, right? Then this whole matter would be worse.
Treecko sighed. "Blast. All my friends got put into one team and they leave me with this rabble."
Daisy and Luigi sat together.
"I love you." Luigi said.
"I love you more." Daisy replied.
"I love you even more than that." Luigi replied.
"I love you even more than the even more you just said." Daisy cooed.
"Yeah, you're probably right." Luigi replied.
"Excuse me?" Daisy asked.
"Kidding! Kidding." Luigi exclaimed. "I love you even more than the amount of love already being shared?"
Daisy grinned. "Well, I-"
Treecko groaned. "Can we just say you love each other equally and be done with it?"
Luigi shrugged. "Sure."
Daisy nodded. "Okay."
"Get a room, see?" Popple said.
Treecko smiled. "At least outlasting them will be a cinch."
Bowser Jr. laughed. "I'm back with more evil than before!"
May threw a pebble at him. "Shut up."
Bowser Jr. looked angry. "Fear me!"
May shrugged. "No thank you, I'd rather not."
Bowser Jr. kicked the table. "I will make you suffer!"
May walked away. "I'm leaving."
Bowser Jr. looked sad. "What? I'm gloating! You can't do that! I'm lonely..."
(Confessional)
Bowser Jr.- Even evil masterminds get lonely. Deal with it.
May- If he's not first out, I'll be surprised.
Daisy- Luigi is the best boyfriend ever!
Luigi- Daisy is the best girlfriend ever! Wait, Bowser isn't here. I can squeal in delight without interruption! Eh, I'm not feeling it right now.
Yellow Toad appeared out of nowhere. "What up."
Zelda shook her head disapprovingly. "Nobody says that anymore."
Blue Toad walked into the room. "How come I don't get to enter in a stellar fashion, but you do?"
Yellow Toad shrugged. "Because I'm cooler. Anyway, we have an amazing challenge which will be thrilling and good!"
Corrin walked up to Peach. "AND good? Woah."
Peach stepped aside. "Go away you- uh, I mean, I would appreciate it if you didn't get so close to me so suddenly."
Corrin walked away. "Got it."
Rosalina sighed. "We can't do the challenge though."
"Why not?" Yellow Toad asked.
"Because Rosella is a stone statue now." Treecko explained. "Spacey got a little cross during an argument and zapped her."
"And why do I care?" Yellow Toad asked.
He got a phone call. "Yes? Oh, hi Valanice. I understand that you want your daughter to not be a statue, but there's nothing I can do! Oh, it can be cured? I can't go there! It's too far! It's not like I have an obscenely big mode of transport!"
Aqua sighed. "I can't believe this. Hey genius! We're on a train!"
Yellow Toad nodded. "Oh right. Don't worry, your daughter will be safe and sound!" He put the phone away.
Wario poked the statue. "She's still really pretty."
Yellow Toad shook his head. "Well, according to Rosella's mother, we need to find a pink flower. That will somehow turn her back into her regular self. We are around an area with flowers. You just need to find a glowing pink one. Last team to bring one has to vote someone off. Got it?"
They all nodded.
"Go!" Yellow Toad yelled.
Sakura walked towards the north part of the field. "I-I think this way."
Corrin nodded. "My sister can track certain types of flower."
Sakura turned around. "What? No I can't."
Peach walked away. "I'll check over here."
Zelda shrugged. "Do we even need to do this? Do any of us actually like Rosella?"
Loki shook her head. "No, not really. She just seems like a whiny attention hog to me."
Cackletta thought about it. "Me neither. She got what she deserved in my opinion."
Abygail's ears drooped. "Oh. I like Rosella."
Aqua picked a red flower and gave it to Yoshi. "Got you this."
Yoshi took it. "Thank you!"
Birdo walked by, took the flower and stomped on it.
Aqua tapped her foot impatiently. "She really gets on my nerves."
"I hadn't noticed." Yoshi replied sarcastically.
(Confessional)
Yoshi- Great, now I have two girls fighting over me. I mean Birdo's nice when she's not being creepy. Which is about ninety-one percent of the time. But the nine percent she isn't creepy, she is very nice... why am I defending Birdo again?
Aqua- I like being with Yoshi and all, but being on a team with Zelda and Birdo seriously angers me. Once again I need to watch my step to avoid them rallying the team. I hate this game sometimes.
Birdo- Why is Aqua even here? I don't know her at all, now she's with Yoshi and thinks she's so much better than me. Well, at least I don't have mental breakdowns every five minutes. (kicks the wall and starts screaming angrily)
Link looked around. "Zelda likes flowers."
Fawful walked over. "Are you having the sadnesses because of the princess who is scaring me is happening to have being on the other team?"
Link sighed. "Like you wouldn't believe."
Fawful frowned. "A story of tragedy! Tragic like fruitcakes!"
Toadette held Fawful's hand. "Come on, let's go."
Braixen watched the scene. "Ah, they're so adorable, but Toadette could do so much better. Why does this bother me?"
Eevee shrugged. "I have no clue."
Mudkip pointed. "Pink sparkly looking thing!"
Midbus turned. "Oh! It's the thing we're looking for! Nice."
Mario cheered. "Great!"
Claire went and picked it. "Let's get this back to the Toads."
Toadsworth smiled. "Good job!"
(Confessional)
Eevee- I'm glad that we won the first challenge. Even better that Mudkip did it. He could be voted off otherwise because... you know, poor grasp of the English language.
Mudkip- I DID! Uh, did it! Oops. Why friends can speak language but I not? I not brightest Mudkip...
Claire- I did it! I picked the flower needed to win! I'm so happy!
Treecko looked around frantically. "It's here somewhere!"
Wario fell over. "Oh, I'm down. Go on without me, yada yada." He fell asleep.
Waluigi tripped over him. "WAAAAA!"
Daisy and Luigi were holding hands and looking at each other, so they tripped over Wario too.
"Seriously?" Rosalina asked.
"I know, right?" Treecko replied.
Bowser Jr. stomped on a flower. "I'm so evil."
May threw him across the field. "No! Bowser Jr., no flattening flowers!"
Popple shrugged. "I don't care, see?"
(Confessional)
Treecko- Well, I always feel that everyone else doesn't recognise my talents, so at least in comparison to the rest of the team I'll look good, right? I only hope I don't overdo it.
Wario- I'm lazy, okay? Don't judge me!
May- Seriously, we need to vote off Bowser Jr.. He decided that being 'evil' also included not taking a shower in seven weeks, and oh boy, is it showing. Gross!
Sakura picked a flower. "Found one."
Corrin took it. "See, my sister is the best! Let's get back to Yellow Toad!
Yellow Toad took the flower from Claire. "Thank you. Team Fury is safe!"
Corrin threw the flower at him. "Take it!"
Yellow Toad caught it. "Okay, we all have to admit, that was a sweet catch. Team Pink also wins! Team Zero, meet me at the end of the train."
(Confessional)
Rosalina- Well, at least I didn't do any long-term damage. Physically at least. I won't get over this easily. I must study the magical properties of my wand further to see what other abilities are hidden within that I don't know of.
Waluigi- We lost, but that's fine. We can afford one or two losses. I'm going to vote out Rosella because then Wario will concentrate more. Wait, no. Rosella's the space princess, right? Rosalina is that foreign princess from wherever. Pretty sure that's right.
Elimination Area – Team Zero
Yellow Toad opened the door. "Everyone step outside."
The entirety of Team Zero went outside. There were ten chairs next to a cliff edge.
Yellow Toad smiled. "This is where we hold the Elimination Ceremonies. After every challenge the train will stop here and the losing team has to go here and vote. As you can see, there are electronic devices below each of your seats. Tap the name of the person you want to vote out. The most voted contestant shall leave."
Everyone tapped on their screens.
"Why do we only have nine votes?" Yellow Toad asked. "Oh, that's right!"
Blue Toad brought the statue of Rosella over. "Here she is. Sorry for the delay, Fawful was intent on keeping her."
"Why- You know what, I don't want to know" Treecko said.
Yellow Toad put the flowers on top of the statue, which started glowing, bringing Rosella back.
Rosalina sighed in relief.
Rosella looked at her in anger. "YOU! Seriously? Turning me into a statue? I can't believe this!"
Waluigi groaned. "You think you can change her back? I liked her better when she didn't talk."
Rosella glared at him. "Very funny."
Yellow Toad looked at the votes. "Well, this is interesting. If you're safe you will get a mushroom."
"Wait, you're not even switching up the prizes?" Luigi asked.
"Yeah, I agree." Daisy added.
"Of course you would agree with him." Popple remarked.
Yellow Toad looked cross. "Shut up! Mushrooms work as prizes, I'm keeping them. Wario, Waluigi, Treecko, Popple, Daisy, Luigi and May are safe. The other three got votes."
Rosalina nodded. "That's alright. It's most likely just Rosella."
Rosella glared at her. "Don't forget you turned me to stone! People could vote you for that!"
Bowser Jr. shrugged. "I hate Rosalina, but everyone else doesn't like you."
"Rosella got two votes, so she's safe." Yellow Toad said.
"It's not an elimination ceremony unless Bowser Jr.'s in the bottom two." Daisy said. "The rule continues."
Luigi chuckled. "Oh, it does."
Yellow Toad held up the last mushroom. "Either Rosalina or Bowser Jr. will be leaving now. The choice seems obvious."
Rosalina tapped her foot. "I mean, surely I got less votes than Bowser Jr.."
Bowser Jr. scowled. "I think you'll be surprised."
Rosalina paused. "Wait, I can't foresee any future events in the game anymore. What's going on?"
Yellow Toad tossed the last mushroom to Bowser Jr.. "It's because Bowser Jr. got three votes, and you got five."
Rosalina gasped. "Five?"
Waluigi gasped. "I meant to vote Rosella! You mean that's Rosalina? I got the names mixed up!"
May nodded. "Sorry, I did too."
Bowser Jr. scoffed. "I meant to vote for you. I don't forget last season. You, Corrin, Toadette and whats-her-face the Koopa all teamed up against me."
Rosalina sighed. "I guess it's that infernal portal for me then."
Yellow Toad shook his head. "No, this time you must jump off of the cliff and down below to where all of the people from season one who didn't make it are waiting."
"You're not serious!" Rosalina yelled. "That's dangerous!"
Yellow Toad groaned. "Fine. Here's a parachute."
Rosalina looked back at the team. "Well, this is an unfortunate turn of events. I hope that it all goes well for all of you, except for Bowser Jr.." She jumped off the cliff.
"I'll remember you!" Waluigi yelled.
"Are you talking about Rosalina?" Wario asked.
"Who?" Waluigi replied. "I forgot what I was supposed to be remembering. Oh well."
Yellow Toad nodded. "Well, in a cruel twist of events, Rosalina is first to leave! At least there won't be any more name confusion. Will Team Zero recover from this loss? Will Midbus make it to... wait he did. Midbus made it to episode three! Find out if he continues this winning streak next time on Mario Total Drama Returns!"
Exclusive Clip – Rosalina
Rosalina slowly floated down with her parachute. "Well, that's something I didn't expect today. Losing because my name is similar to someone else." She looked down. "Oh, there's a target there, seems that I must land on it." She did so, causing streamers to go off everywhere, making her jump. "What manner of-"
Kylie Koopa ran outside of the building, followed by Bowser, Diddy Kong and Donkey Kong. "Ace! It's my pal Rosalina!"
Rosalina waved. "Oh, Kylie. It's just you."
Donkey Kong waved. "Nice to see you, girl I don't know!"
Rosalina sighed. "I can't believe I lost first."
Kylie smiled. "Don't worry, you'll get your chance to win soon, I know it."
Votes:
Bowser Jr. - Rosalina
Daisy – Bowser Jr.
Luigi - Bowser Jr.
May - Rosalina
Popple - Rosella
Rosalina - Bowser Jr.
Rosella - Rosalina
Treecko - Rosella
Waluigi - Rosalina
Wario – Rosalina
Chapter 2 is done and I am regretting having Rosalina leave first already, as her fanbase will now hunt me down, send help.
Actually, the reason Rosalina is leaving first is so people won't get her and Rosella confused. You could argue that Rosella could have left first, but she's a new contestant and I want to give them some time in the spotlight and not lose them right away. That's my reasoning, so take it into consideration before you send a review.
Chapter 3 comes soon. Have a nice day!
