Author's Note: Hi...I got nothing to say here.
"Welcome back to…Uber Dama Action!" Chris exclaimed as he stood outside the studio. "Last time on our exciting series, the four teams had their first challenge as teams. All teams seemed to have some sort of a divide going on within them though. On Team Sci-Fi, Maggie was quickly alienating herself with her sour attitude, while Jarred found himself in an alliance with Rich despite trying to remain on how own. On Team Wild West, Leroy and Judie were at each other's throats right from the get-go. Team Kiddie had Aubrey and Boe, two stubborn ladies with neither one backing down. And Team Maintenance…well, let's just say that the whole team is a mess. During the challenge, though, Team Maintenance came together and proved that they can work surprisingly well. A backfiring attempt to sabotage her team, LaBelle also earned Team Sci-Fi a win. It came down to Team Wild West just losing to Team Kiddie. But despite the clear conflict between Judie and Leroy, Norissa made the move to axe The Professor and got her wish. 23 remain in the game, who will be joining The Professor next? Which teams will be safe and who will collapse? Find out right now on…Uber…Drama…Action!"
(Theme Song Plays…)
(Team Sci-Fi)
The team had all woken up and were going about their morning together.
"Don't we have any ordinary food?" Maggie complained as she searched through their storages. "Give me some porridge, or a nice cup of coffee. Not all this crazy slop."
"I'm telling you, it's all we have," Xavier said. "So eat it and enjoy."
"We'll see about that," Maggie said as she continued her search.
Rich, meanwhile, had spotted Giselle eating her breakfast by herself on a bench. He took his own meal and approached her.
"Hey, mind if I sit here?" he asked.
"What?" Giselle asked as she looked up at him blankly. "Oh…I…I understand….Apology."
She got up and began to move.
"Oh no, no," Rich said as he reached out to her. "That's now what I meant. I meant…you know, we could sit together."
He motioned for Giselle to sit down and then sat down with her.
"I thought…you know…maybe we could talk?" he suggested.
"Talk?" Giselle echoed.
"Yeah…get to know each other," Rich continued. "We're on the same team and all."
"Oh…yes…talk," Giselle said.
"Uh…why don't I start?" Rich offered. "Well…uh…my name is Rich. But you probably already knew that. I mean, I guess you picked it up by now, right? Well, if you didn't uh…my name is Rich."
"Hello, Rich," Giselle said with a smile and a laugh. "I am Giselle."
"Yeah, that's right," Rich said. "Of course, you obviously know your own name."
"Yes…is my name," Giselle repeated.
"Uh…how long have you lived in Canada?" Rich asked.
"Canada?" Giselle said. "Not Canada."
"Oh…you don't even live here?" Rich asked.
"No…not Canada," Giselle repeated.
"So Chris just flew you in from…wherever you're from?" Rich asked.
"Mr. McClean tell me…there…spot for me to…compete," Giselle said. "Tell me…big prize. Maybe…win money. Much money."
"Yeah, the prize is a pretty big deal," Rich said. "But I'm still surprised that you'd travel so far to compete."
"Mr. McClean say…look pretty…don't speak…be fine," Giselle said. "But…I try. I try speak."
"You're doing great," Rich said. "How long have you been learning English?"
"Not long," Giselle admitted.
Confessional:
Rich-Giselle really is sweet. And well…she's also really pretty too. I don't really have a lot of luck talking to pretty girls…but she seems a little lost so I think she could use a friend.
Giselle-Coming here…I fear…no one understand…no one like…I leave first. But I make friends…I proud and surprise.
Jarred-I've been trying to take note of how this team is shaping up. Giselle and Rich are being lovey, gushy and it's clear that they're just gaga for each other. Then you've got Xavier who followers LaBelle around like a dog. In theory that would leave me with Maggie, but no way in hell am I working with that old bat.
(Team Wild West)
Norissa woke up and reached for her glasses, only to find that they were missing.
"Ugh," she groaned as she squinted, trying to make out the blurs in her vision. "Guys, has anyone seen my glasses? They were right here when I went to sleep."
"Nope," Todd shrugged.
"Don't look at me," Macy added.
Norissa sighed as she got out of bed and carefully began to search the floor.
"Oh, Norissa!" Judie called from outside. "Looking for your glasses?"
"Yes!" Norissa called.
"I was just borrowing them," she said. "You can come and get them."
"Why would you need to borrow my glasses?" Norissa asked as she moved towards the door. "And why couldn't you wait till I woke up first?"
Norissa exited and found Judie with her glasses.
"Here you are, hun," Judie said as she handed her the glasses.
However, before Norissa could put them on, Judie shoved her from behind and dunked her in a barrel full of water.
"There!" Judie exclaimed. "Now you know what it's like to be blindsided! The Nighthawk always returns a favor!"
Confessional:
Judie-Last night I was very clear what my intention was. I told everyone to vote Leroy, and did they? No they did not! They made a very foolish mistake in going against my wishes! However, their biggest mistake wasn't betraying the Nighthawk, it was letting the Nighthawk live after betraying me. Now they will feel my wrath!
Norissa-Go ahead, Judie, and just keep solidifying yourself as the next one to go. In case you haven't realized, I hold the power now.
(Team Kiddie)
Aubrey had explored part of the fort until she found where the food products were kept.
"Boe isn't the only one who can cook," she remarked. "Let's see what I can whip up."
She found the storage and opened it up. All the products looked to be incredibly sugary and sweet.
"How the hell did she can a full course breakfast from all this?" Aubrey remarked.
Aubrey searched through and pulled out what looked to be some brightly coloured fruits.
"Guess I can try to make something with these," she said to herself.
"And what do you think you're doing!?" Boe demanded as she marched over to her.
"I'm making myself something to eat," Aubrey said. "Since I'd rather not have to do run laps or do push-ups or whatever you had in mind for today."
"Not with that form, you're not," Boe spat. "You can't combine that much Lychee with Mango. The taste will be disastrous."
"Uh, ladies," Victor tried to break them apart.
"And germs!" Amanda added.
"Well, it's a good thing I'm not cooking for you, then," Aubrey said.
"Don't try to pretend you're something you're not," Boe sneered.
"Ladies," Victor repeated.
"And germs!" Amanda added again.
"I bet you've never touched a kitchen knife in your life," Boe scoffed.
"Yeah, I'm getting real tired of all these generalizations you're making about me," Aubrey scoffed.
"Ladies!" Victor said one last time as he got between them.
"And germs!" Amanda concluded as she jumped in front.
"Let's just calm down and break it up," Victor said.
The two girls both sneered before going their separate directions.
Confessional:
Victor-I've learned to be grateful for what you have. I haven't exactly had a lot in life, but I get by with what I'm graced with. These girls might be a bit hotheaded, but they're still my teammates, and I'm going to do what I can to keep them from killing each other.
Boe-Aubrey is such disgrace, it's embarrassing. Sooner or later she'll be revealed as the phony she is and when that times comes she'll be sent packing out of here.
Aubrey-Boe is crossing the line from trying to control the team, to trying to watch my every move and call me out on whatever I'm doing. Make no mistake, she'd be leaving either way, but now I'm just more determined than ever to get rid of her.
(Team Maintenance)
Early in the morning in the team's shack, Mona was busy at working rearranging the piles of boxes and buckets around them.
"Uh…what are you doing?" Kendell asked as she walked up to her.
"Well, I felt perhaps a change of scenery might leave us feeling a little refreshed," Mona answered. "I do feel like this corner over here has a bit more of a bucket feel, wouldn't you?"
"No, I wouldn't," Kendell scoffed. "It's a stupid corner."
"Now, now, we don't want to hurt the corner's feelings," Mona replied.
"Hey corner, you suck!" Kendell shouted.
"Tahlking to courners?" Yvonne asked as she walked by. "Hm, and I sought you vould lasht at leasht un veek befohr snapping."
As Mona tried to move the buckets around, one of them rolled off the top and bumped Adam in the head.
"Ow, watch it!" Adam snapped. "You want to damage my perfect face? You could ruin me."
"To be honest, I wish she would," Buster remarked. "Then we could stop hearing you boast about it all the time."
"Hey, don't you start with me," Adam said.
"I'd much rather be done with you," Buster replied.
"You just think you're clever, don't you?" Adam scoffed.
"I am clever," Buster declared matter-of-factly.
"Oh yeah," Adam said, "well, outsmart this!"
With a toss he threw the bucket straight a Buster. Buster winced, but just before it collided, Kevin caught in mid-air by hanging from the ceiling. He then gracefully put it back on the top of the pile.
Confessional:
Kevin-I am not taking a side in this conflict. I simply wish to keep it from escalating too much.
Mona-Oh mercy me, this new format doesn't seem to be doing it at all. Hm…perhaps we need candles. Lots and lots of candles.
Buster-Adam is quite simply a brute with a pretty face. I just hope the rest of the team isn't too dense to see this. But they probably are. Sigh.
(Team Sci-Fi)
After breakfast, Xavier had grabbed Giselle and brought her in close with himself and LaBelle.
"Alright, Your Majesties, congratulations on making it to the final 23, but that's not good enough," Xavier said.
"I'll say," LaBelle added. "First place or nothing for me."
"So above all, we must make sure that we win this challenge," Xavier said. "With the support of both of you I will fuel myself with strength."
"Oh…fuel…what?" Giselle asked.
"But in the event that we do have to vote someone out," Xavier said, "we need to work together to keep each other safe. We need an alliance."
"Alliance?" Giselle asked. "Like…together?"
"Yes, together," Xavier said as he took both of their arms.
"So, who would we be voting out first?" LaBelle asked.
"Well," Xavier replied, "I'm thinking—"
"Hey, what are you kids talking about!?" Maggie demanded. "You and your little cliques think you can just ignore me and keep me out of the loop, do you?"
"We were uh…just discussing um…our favorite new…video games," Xavier lied.
"Bah, such trivial wastes of time," Maggie grumbled as she moved on.
"Oh…we talk about…video now?" Giselle asked.
Meanwhile, Rich had reunited with Jarred.
"Hey, buddy," he exclaimed.
"I am not your buddy," Jarred replied.
"Uh...hey, pal?" Rich tried.
"Nope," Jarred replied.
"Um…hey…partner?" Rich asked.
"I'd prefer boss, but whatever I'll take it," Jarred said.
"So, what's happening?" Rich asked. "What new tough guy things are we going to do today?"
"Winning the challenge is probably number one," Jarred said. "But if we don't, I think we're going to have to be careful. Xavier clearly wants an alliance of the two girls. We don't want them targeting us."
"You know, I was talking to Giselle earlier today," Rich said.
"I didn't notice," Jarred said sarcastically as he rolled his eyes.
"She seems really cool," Rich said.
"She also seems like she's in an alliance," Jarred added. "One that you're not a part of. Don't be fooled."
"Oh…is this part of that trust no one thing?" Rich asked.
However, before they could get more out, Beth appeared in their room.
"Hey guys, guess what time it is!?" she exclaimed.
"Enough silly games, just tell us!" Maggie snapped.
"Uh…it's challenge time!" Beth finished.
Confessional:
LaBelle-So I've got an alliance…that's nice. But I am no one's follower, and I am going to flip-flop all over the place. That's right I'm a crazy nutjob, you can't trust me with anything!
Giselle-Oh so…alliance protect me…very surprise…never expect…so many friends.
Jarred-Rich still seems to have his head in the clouds. Giselle's got a pretty face so he's letting his guard down around her. He won't be so lovestruck if her alliance asks her to vote him out though.
Rich-Jarred warned me that Giselle could be dangerous…but how could such a sweet, pretty face be dangerous in anyway?
(Team Wild West)
Leroy spotted Todd walking by and instantly grabbed him by the shoulder.
"Todd, why'd you have to do that last night?" Leroy said dramatically. "You hurt me, you know that? I thought I could trust you, yet you went right ahead and didn't do what I asked of you? Why Todd, why'd you have to do that to me?"
"Uh—" Todd tried to say, but Leroy held a finger to his mouth.
"Don't speak," Leroy said, "I don't need to hear your explanations. I know how it is, a girl with a pretty face asked you to do her a favor. You were blinded by the lights, couldn't think straight, is that how it is?"
"Well—" Todd again tried to speak.
"Just promise you won't do it again, okay?" Leroy said. "I like you, Todd, I most certainly do. I'd hate to have to stomp you into the dust. But I have to trust you, and that means I need to have your support. So next time I ask you to do something, you'd better do it!"
"…okay," Todd shrugged.
"Good boy," Leroy said while patting Todd on the head.
"Attention, maggots!" Eva boomed as she marched into their camp. "You've got another challenge. And don't you dare screw it up this time!"
Confessional:
Leroy-Someone made a move against my wishes last night, but ain't no way it was Todd. That kid's about as dull as a brick sandwich. Naw, let me tell you, it must've been one of them girls. Too smart for their own good is what it is, but they're about to learn that I'm always the smartest one in the room.
Todd-Gee, this voting thing sucks. I knew I didn't want to lose, but now dealing with the aftermath just makes me want to win even more. Woo, let's do this!
Macy-Oh goodness me, this team is just perfect. One vote and they're all freaking out at each other. And guess who gets to slide right on by? That's right, me.
(Team Kiddie)
Aubrey had gone off by herself, angrily beating into the fruit she had taken. However, she soon found that someone was following her.
"Uh….h-hi," Dewey said nervously.
"Oh hi," Aubrey said with a smile. "What are you doing over here?"
"I just wanted to talk with you," Dewey replied. "Um…we still have that alliance thingy going on, right?"
"Oh yeah, for sure," Aubrey said. "I'm not letting anyone leave before Boe does."
"Okay, thanks," Dewey said with a shy smile. "I'm just really worried…I mean, I know that you explained the rules of the game to me…but yesterday when Chris said we'd have to vote someone out if we lost, I got really scared. I don't want to be known as a failure. I want to at least get something out of this game."
"Don't worry, you will," Aubrey said. "Just stick with me and I'll make sure we're both safe. Now, we just need one more and we'd have half the numbers."
"Hi!" Amanda exclaimed suddenly joining them.
"Welcome to our alliance," Aubrey said.
Meanwhile, Victor and Boe were sitting together.
"Oh, that Aubrey girl makes me so mad," Boe simmered. "Who does she think she is, just telling me off like that?"
"It's troublesome," Victor remarked. "But I think the two of you are going to need to make up."
"Never!" Boe spat. "She's dead to me. First one gone, no question about it."
"You don't have to be friends," Victor said. "Be if you keep fighting it'll really hurt our teamwork. We could have lost last time, we won by a thin margin. I don't want to take that risk. I think we all deserve better than first one gone."
"Not her," Boe huffed. "She is weak. She is no good to us."
"While I'm all for keeping the team strong," Victor said, "I think there's also strength in numbers. We'd be better off with all six of us here."
"Yeah, sure, whatever," Boe said. "Now here's a thought for you. What if we were to form an alliance of the strongest? To ensure that when we do lose, we only get rid of the deadweight."
"I guess that makes sense," Victor said.
"An alliance? I want in!" Douglas exclaimed as he hopped over to the two.
"Beat it, this is for the strong only," Boe said.
"I'm strong!" Douglas boasted. "Watch this!"
He grabbed a fork and instantly tried to start bending. His face turned red and sweaty and he strained himself all to no avail.
"Well, it's not my fault!" he said. "What is this made of? Adamantium?"
"Plastic," Boe answered.
"Isn't Adamantium from the comics?" Victor asked.
"Well…you would know…nerd!" Douglas exclaimed nervously.
"Attention, everyone!" Duncan called.
"Duncan!" Douglas squealed.
Duncan came prepared with a long wooden pole which he was using to keep Douglas away from him.
"So, it's challenge time," Duncan said. "Get your asses in gear."
Confessional:
Aubrey-Luckily, this team actually isn't too bad. Boe easily sucks away a lot of the joy, but guys like Dewey and Amanda are pretty cool. If we can stick together this team might actually turn out alright.
Dewey-I'm glad I've got someone like Aubrey to look out for me. I'd never be able to manage myself out here all on my own.
Victor-I think I have a lot in common with Boe, we've both had it a been rough in upbringing, and while we expresses ourselves in different ways, I think we both have a lot of respect for people who can remain strong. I think she may be overreacting a bit, but I hope to help her out and be a good friend to her.
(Team Maintenance)
"Ugh, I hate this team so much," Kendell ranted to herself as she exited the shed. "So full of themselves, it's disgusting."
"Tell me about it," Buster remarked as he followed after her.
"Oh don't you start," Kendell snapped. "You're no better than everyone else in there."
"And I suppose you're just the queen of humility," Buster replied.
"I don't need your attitude," Kendell scoffed.
"But you do need a vote," Buster replied. "And I could be that one for you. Believe me, you won't regret having my mindpower on your side."
"I bet I could," Kendell scoffed. "But fine, just shut up and do what I say and this deal might work."
Meanwhile, Adam spotted Yvonne stretching in another corner of the shed.
"Getting ready for the challenge?" he asked.
"Of course," Yvonne replied. "I must be in my tohp shape if I am to vin again."
"Sounds like a good motto to me," Adam said. "Although, some of these guys don't exactly seem like major athletes to me."
"I dun't care," Yvonne replied. "If zey are veak, zen zay vill fall. I vill make surr of it."
"Hey, works for me," Adam said. "Maybe I could help you out with that. I'd love to get rid of some of these weak links."
"Vutever," Yvonne replied.
"Good morning, everyone!" Justin called. "Let's get moving, it's challenge time!"
Confessional:
Buster-I don't really like anyone on this team, but I think Kendell seems like someone who is smart enough to respect that she needs a sharp mind like mine on her side. She'd better be grateful, because I'm doing her a big favor.
Kendell-Buster is freaking annoying, but if he can help me take out some of these saps then it might be worth dragging him on a little further.
Adam-Obviously, this deal with Yvonne isn't something I'm too big on. I just want to make sure that we get rid of Buster and by promising her I'm strengthening the team, I think she'll go for it.
Yvonne-Purhaps eet is arrogant to sink zat I am safe due to my strength, but eet is true. I led my team to victory yeshterday and if zey want me to keep it up, zey vill have to keep me. I dun't need any alliance vith Adam…I am unly letting him believe zat for his sake.
(Later)
"Welcome, everyone, to your second immunity challenge!" Chris exclaimed as the four teams arrived at the center of the studio. "The Professor has left us, but one more of you will be joining him tonight if you don't win immunity."
"And zat vun't be us," Yvonne added.
"Oh yeah, we'll see about that!" Boe snapped.
"Now, for this challenge," Chris said, "we brought back a little help…"
Suddenly part of a building behind them exploded. Everyone gasped and turn to look at what had happened. A small boy emerged from the smoke. He had spikey black hair, a black jacket, and jeans. He was waving and wearing a large grin.
"Kaboom!" he exclaimed.
"Meet Nicky, from the original Uber Drama Island," Chris exclaimed.
"Hiya!" Nicky said while waving.
"Nicky has helped us set up this challenge," Chris said, "Show us what you've got, Nicky."
"Ta-da!" Nicky said as he pulled out a button a pushed it.
Suddenly, an army of robots marched onto the scene from all sides. Some of them appeared to be standard human shaped, while others looked more like small automobiles or even animals.
"That's right, for this challenge it'll be you versus our robot army," Chris said. "These aren't your friendly robots they've got all sorts of weapons."
"Yeah, zap-zap!" Nicky said while electrocuting Chris in the back with a prong.
"Ow!" Chris snapped. "I didn't say you could demonstrate on me."
"Sorry," Nicky said.
"Anyways, your goal is to shut down these robots before they can bring you down," Chris said. "There are three control rooms that you need to breach to turn off the robots. The first three teams to do this will win immunity and be out of the challenge, while whoever arrives last will have to vote someone out."
"Good luck!" Nicky exclaimed.
Confessional:
Buster-My team is lucky to have my intelligence. I know all about how robots work and that shall work to our advantage.
Boe-These slackers had better not slow us down this time!
Todd-It's redemption time!
Maggie-Robots? What's the matter, couldn't afford some actual good old-fashioned labor? I tell you, the way the world's going, it's a disappointment.
(Team Maintenance)
The teams had all taken off running in different directions. The swarms of robots were already spreading out and chasing after them. Team Maintenance was heading down an alley between two buildings.
"Guys, guys!" Buster called. "Let's all just slow down for a second."
"Uh, not a good idea," Adam replied. "We're being hunted by killer robots remember?"
"I can find out where we're supposed to go," Buster said. "It should only be a simple matter of calculating—"
Part of the wall exploded near them as a human robot with blasters for hands gained on them.
"Can you hurry it up?" Kendell demanded.
"Look, I just need to take a few minutes to map out our surroundings," Buster said. "If we can find out where this control centers are we can get a huge lead on the other teams."
"Problem is, we don't have a few minutes," Adam said as he gestured to the robots coming up behind them.
Kevin turned around, grabbed onto a pipe hanging above them and flipped himself towards the robots. He kicked the head of one, before tossing a pair of shuriken stars at the others coming up behind them.
"Well…that was impressive," Adam remarked.
"Look, if ve can get un advahntage zen ve should take it," Yvonne said. "Let us just find sumeplaze to hide vhile you locate our deshtination."
"What about in here?" Mona asked as she opened out a door. "It seems rather mysteriousy. Good place to hide, I reckon."
"Works for me," Buster said as they all entered the building.
Confessional:
Adam-I don't really like Buster taking charge like this. If this works I bet he'll think that he's the hero. Well, the truth is, if it wasn't for the rest of us, he wouldn't stand a chance out here.
Yvonne-Clearly, zere is many different uses for zese teammates. It is my tashk to take advahtange of all of zem.
(Team Kiddie)
Right from the start, Team Kiddie was having difficulty getting organized.
"We've got a turn coming up," Victor said as they team fled from the robots. "Left or right?"
"Left!" Aubrey announced as she turned for that direction.
"No, right!" Boe said going the other way.
Both girls headed opposite directions.
"Um, I don't think splitting up might be the best idea," Victor said.
"Crazy killer robo things are catching up," Amanda remarked nervously.
"Fine, whatever!" Aubrey scoffed as she turned around and followed after Boe.
The other four followed right behind them. However, before he could round the bend, Dewey was hit in the back by one of the robots' shockers.
"Ah!" he cried as he fell to the ground.
"Dewey!" Aubrey gasped as she stopped in her tracks.
"Someone needs to save him!" Douglas exclaimed. "Preferably not me."
"Leave this to me," Aubrey said as she grabbed a pipe.
"No, leave it to me," Boe said while trying to take the pipe out of Aubrey's hands.
"Seriously?" Victor groaned. "Give me that."
He grabbed the pipe from both of them and ran out to the team of robots. With one strong swing he managed to knock one back. The others charged at him, though, and had their weapons ready.
"Hey, Mr. Robot, do you want this!?" Amanda asked as she tossed a brick.
It landed on the robot's head and caused him to swing into his partner.
"Oops, guess not," Amanda remarked.
Victor grabbed Dewey and helped him up before catching up with the rest of his team. Already he could see that more robots were coming.
Confessional:
Victor-Really now this is getting ridiculous. It's like these girls are fighting just for the sake of it.
Amanda-Huh, funny I thought I read somewhere that robots liked bricks. Must be zombies, actually yep, definitely was zombies.
(Team Wild West)
The team was headed towards a storage section of the studio. They found themselves surrounded by boxes and large crates.
"Guys, keep up!" Todd urged. "We are not losing again. No way!"
"We're trying!" Norissa said, bringing up the rear.
"Time for a change in tactics," Judie said. "Take to the heights!"
Judie bounded off a crate and grabbed onto a balcony, quickly pulling herself up. Macy tried to follow after her, she wasn't as graceful, but she reached the top as well. Todd waited to help Norissa up before climbing up himself. Leroy clumsily tried to leap off the crate, only to lose his footing and fall on his back on the ground. A pack of miniature tanks were already catching up with him and began pelting him with blasts.
"Hang on, I'm coming!" Todd exclaimed as he dropped down.
He stopped on a tank on landing and instantly went to work trying to wrestle the other two. It was clearly a very tight competition between the forces.
"Shouldn't we be helping him?" Norissa asked as she pointed to Leroy still taking much abuse.
"No, I think we should leave him there," Judie said. "So that you can see exactly who you chose to keep when you disobeyed my orders last night!"
"Let it go already," Norissa sighed.
Confessional:
Todd-I'm sure I'm capable of handling all these challenges…but it sure would be nice to get some more support from the others.
Judie-I hope Norissa is just brimming with regret right now. I hope she sees now that she went against the Nighthawk and this is costing us dearly. I hope she realizes all this, so that when I eliminate her, she knows full well that she brought this upon herself!
Norissa-Judie is so petty, it's ridiculous. It actually makes me glad I didn't give her what she wanted, I can't imagine how smug she would have been.
(Team Sci-Fi)
Jarred held the lead for his team, while the others struggled to keep up, particularly Maggie who was dragging far behind.
"Can…can someone…explain?" Giselle asked as she tried to keep up.
"Not now," LaBelle said. "Run. Just run. You can do that."
"Do we have any idea where we're going?" Xavier asked.
"Nope, but we're getting away from the killer robots!" LaBelle replied.
"Hey, you crazy kids, slow down!" Maggie called. "Don't you know I can't keep up with you!?"
"If we slow down the robots will catch up!" Xavier replied.
Already a row of tanks were closing in on them. They began to fire at the group.
"Stop lagging guys and let's go!" Jarred shouted.
"Grandma is slowing us down," Xavier replied.
"Watch it with the name calling!" Maggie snapped before resting against a beam.
"Ugh, we don't have time for a nap!" LaBelle snapped back at Maggie.
Maggie was surrounded by the tanks by now.
"I suppose the proper thing to do would be to save her," Xavier sighed.
"Do we have to?" LaBelle groaned.
Xavier charged at a tank and knocked it on its side…but not without hurting his shoulder. He still had several more around him though.
"Back!" Maggie hissed as she tried to kick at one of the tanks. "Back, I say!"
"Ugh, looks like I have to handle this," Jarred groaned as he ran towards the tanks.
He delivered a powerful tackle to down and caused it to slam into another. LaBelle delivered a final kick to the last remaining one.
"See, I'm helping!" she remarked.
Confessional:
Jarred-This team is just plain weak. I guess the first sign would be the old lady here, but even without her, I'm the only heavy-lifter.
Xavier-(rubbing his shoulder) I can't believe I took a blow like that for someone like Maggie. I've got to keep up my standards.
Maggie-What are those sissy kids complaining about? That wasn't so bad.
(Team Maintenance)
From within the building, Buster had positioned himself so that he could see out an upper winner. He pulled out and unfolded a piece of paper and a pen before he began making notes and drawing a diagram.
"How long is this going to take?" Adam asked.
"Longer if you keep distracting me," Buster replied.
"Well, we might have more distractions soon," Kendell said as she looked out the door. "We've got company."
"Oh well, we should welcome them, then," Mona remarked.
"I'll give them a welcome, alright," Adam said as he grabbed a plank of wood.
The team of robots burst through the door. They immediately started to fire at their targets.
"Back off!" Kendell said as she tried to slap at a robot.
Kevin tossed a star and pierced the robot's head. It collapsed with the first blow from Kendell.
"These guys aren't so tough," she remarked.
Adam swung his plank back and forth at the robots. Kevin weaved between him, slashing with his katana, and disabling all the robots that Adam didn't hit. Yvonne was delivering fierce kicks to any robot that neared her. Even Mona had managed to find a way to help.
"Would you like some tea, Mr. Robot?" she asked as she offered a cup to a robot.
The robot took the cup and drank the hot tea, before shortcircuiting and collapsing on the ground.
"Guys, I think I got it!" Buster called. "Judging by my measurements, the closest control center should be just a little further that way."
"Zen vhat are ve waiting fur, let's go!" Yvonne exclaimed.
Confessional:
Buster-Heh, my team had better be grateful now. I probably just won us this challenge.
Mona-I've never met someone who didn't like tea before…but I suppose there's a first for everything.
(Team Kiddie)
"How you feeling?" Victor asked Dewey.
"Still sore, but I think I can keep up," Dewey replied.
"Guys, what is that!?" Aubrey asked as she pointed out at several shadows in the air.
"Well, you're going to need to be a little more specific," Amanda said. "I see the sky, the clouds, some flying robotic birds, the rooftops…oh I think I see a bee, is that what you were referring to?"
Amanda was correct, though, there were flying robotic birds closing in on the team. They plummeted straight for them with their talons outstretched. One grabbed Douglas by the arm and pulled him out.
"Aaah!" he cried. "Help!"
Boe ran out to one of the birds and with a running jump, punched it in the head. The bird released Douglas, who was caught by Aubrey.
"Guys, maybe we can hide in here," Victor suggested as he pointed to a stairwell leading down.
They all filed down the stairs into a basement and closed the door behind them.
"Quick, barricade it!" Aubrey said as she kicked a shelf over in front of the door.
"Uh guys…" Dewey said. "There's no back door here…how are we going to get out?"
Confessional:
Boe-Way to go, Aubrey, screw us over again.
Amanda-I've actually compiled a list of possible answers to Dewey's question. First, we could eat our way out; second we could evolve into molepeople; third, we could invent teleporters—
(Team Wild West)
A very bruised and burned Todd had managed to clear out the robots and carry Leroy up to where the rest of the team was waiting.
"You alright, Leroy?" Macy asked.
"Jusssht…fine," Leroy slurred.
"He took quite a bit of abuse," Todd remarked.
"He could have done for a little more," Judie remarked.
"Okay guys, enough bickering, we need to keep moving," Norissa said.
The team moved through the building and climbed the stairs.
"If we get up high, maybe we can get a good view," Norissa said. "Look for anything that stands out."
They reached the roof and looked down at the studio.
"Hm…that building looks pretty big and…techy," Macy remarked.
"And look," Judie added. "It's one of the other teams!"
"After them!" Todd exclaimed.
The team of five climbed back down the side of the building and raced towards the building. They soon saw Team Sci-Fi heading for the same one.
"Sorry, losers, we were here first," LaBelle said as she stood in front of the doorway. "Get your own."
"Oh, you were here first," Judie said in defeat, "well, in that case, I guess we'll just let you have it—ha!"
With a sudden sweep of her foot, Judie sent LaBelle to the ground.
"Go, go, go!" Judie ordered as she rushed her team inside the building.
"Hey, they can't do that!" Rich exclaimed.
"Afraid they just did," Jarred remarked. "Now come on, we'd better hurry to find another source. These guys already have the lead on us in this one, no point in wasting our time."
Confessional:
Judie-Playing by the rules is the first step towards playing to lose. The Nighthawk plays by her own rule, and that rule is win at all costs!
Rich-Well, at least we know what to look for now. Still, that was very uncool of the other team to do that.
(Team Sci-Fi)
After their encounter with Team Wild West, the team moved out to search for another center.
"Great, just great," Maggie complained. "We're probably going to lose now. And it's all because you don't have enough backbone to keep those cheaters out."
"Hey, don't look at me," LaBelle said. "I never claimed to be the muscle on this team."
"Yeah, no one is accusing you of that," Jarred remarked dryly.
"Let's just keep calm, guys," Rich said. "We're sure to find another soon enough if we just keep looking."
Suddenly Xavier cried, "Giselle, look out!"
"Huh?" Giselle exclaimed before turning around.
It was too late, though, a robotic bird came up from behind her and snagged her by her dress.
"Aaah!" she cried.
"Giselle!" Rich exclaimed. "Don't worry, I'll save you!"
Rich grabbed a piece of wood and tossed it upwards. However, it fell back to the ground pitifully before even coming close to its target.
"Allow me," Jarred said as he grabbed the stick.
With a toss, he managed to skewer the bird and cause Giselle to plummet to the ground. Xavier was able to catch her before she hit the ground though.
"Don't worry, my precious, you are safe now," Xavier said.
"I'm safe too," LaBelle added. "Just…in case you all wanted to know."
Confessional:
LaBelle-Ooooh, pulling the damsel in distress card…I got to hand it to Giselle, she knows how to get all the love. I'll just a note to put myself in mortal danger next time, though, they'll be fighting to the one who gets to rescue me.
Rich-Well…that was a little embarrassing.
(Team Maintenance)
"Right here!" Buster said as he pointed to a building. "If my predictions are right, this is where one of the controllers is at."
"And if you're wrong we can all agree to vote you out tonight," Adam added. "It's win-win."
"I'm not wrong," Buster sniffed.
The team entered the building and found themselves in a cold, sterile hallway.
"I don't like this place," Mona remarked. "Very lifeless indeed."
"Seems fitting for robots," Buster remarked.
"Look, I think I see something," Kendell said as she pointed ahead.
They came to a glowing door. Yvonne opened it and the came to a room full of blinking buttons.
"So, which one do you press to shut them off?" Adam asked.
"Ahem," Kevin coughed as he pointed to a large lever against the far war.
"That makes sense," Adam said.
Kevin pulled the lever. Suddenly the door slammed shut and locked.
"Uh…is that good?" Kendell asked.
"Congratulations, Team Maintenance," Chris said. "You've earned yourself immunity…but to keep you out of the way for the rest of the challenge, you'll be trapped in here until the other two switches have been pulled."
"At least it's more spacious than our home," Kendell remarked.
Confessional:
Yvonne-First place…very impresseeve. Zis team has quite a beet of pohtensial ahfter all.
Buster-That's right, with my brains at the helm, we're never losing once.
"So, team Maintenance claims first place," Chris said. "Again proving to be one of the stronger teams."
"Don't act so surprised," Justin said. "They are my team after all. My greatest was bound to rub off on them."
"Well, just you wait, my team is going to kick their ass soon enough!" Eva said.
"You mean the one that absolutely failed last round?" Justin asked.
Eva just growled at him.
"As it stands, there are two switches left," Chris said. "Of the three remaining teams, one of them will be losing this challenge and heading to the Carpet of Shame."
(Team Wild West)
The team was travelling through a similar hallway.
"We've got to be almost there," Todd said. "Just a little further."
Suddenly, the wall next to them cracked open. A large, bulky robot smashed through the wall and stood in front of them.
"Oh my," Macy gasped.
"Leave this to me, guys!" Todd said as he charged forward.
The hulking robot slapped him aside easily.
"How are we supposed to get past this!?" Macy exclaimed.
"Like this!" Judie said before running at the robot.
Before it could slap her, though she leapt at its arm and climbed up to its shoulder.
"Feel the burn of the Nighthawk!" she exclaimed as she kicked at the head.
The robot just to swat her off, but Judie rolled out of the way just in time. The robot ended up slapping himself on the head and causing itself to collapse to the ground.
"Voila!" Judie exclaimed. "The Nighthawk doesn't mess around!"
"Great, now let's finish this off," Leroy said as he ran past her.
He came to the glowing door and opened it open. He soon found the lever.
"Allow me to claim victory in the name of Team Wild West," he said as he reached for the lever.
Judie grabbed his hand before he could reach it though.
"I'll do the honours," she said as she pulled the lever.
Confessional:
Norissa-Well, I'll hand it to Judie, she certainly has some skills when it comes to challenges. But that won't mean a thing is she doesn't change her attitude up.
Todd-Yes, we did it! No elimination for us tonight! Only thing that would make it better would be…if I had actually contributed.
Judie-That'll show these fools just who they're dealing with. Vote for the Nighthawk, and you're not just voting for the Nighthawk…you're voting against victory itself.
(Team Kiddie)
The team was still trapped in the basement, and the horde of robots had gathered outside the door.
"So, do we risk facing them?" Aubrey asked.
"Hell no!" Boe spat. "You want to get murdered out there?"
"Well, we can't just sit around and accept defeat," Aubrey said.
"Sure we can!" Amanda exclaimed. "I mean the floor may not be the cleanest, but there's nothing stopping you from sitting."
"Guys, looks at this," Dewey said as he revealed a grate in the back of the room. "Think we can go through there?"
"That doesn't exactly look clean," Douglas remarked.
"No, but it might be our best option," Victor said as he removed the grate.
"Better hope the princess doesn't mean getting a little dirty," Boe scoffed.
"Ladies first," Aubrey retorted as she stepped in front of Boe and dropped into the tunnel.
Confessional:
Dewey-I'm helping!
Victor-Well, that cost us a lot of time. But I don't think we're out yet. We've just got to really move fast.
(Team Sci-Fi)
The team was running as fast as they could. Unfortunately, with Maggie on their team, this wasn't much. They had completely turned around from their original direction as they searched for the final center.
"Look, down there!" Rich exclaimed. "I think that might be it."
"Go, go!" LaBelle exclaimed. "Let's get it!"
"Always on the go," Maggie grumbled.
"Shut up and run," Xavier grunted.
However as they ran down the alley towards the building, a horde of tanks piled out in front of them. They were immediately assaulted by a relentless attack of blasts. They tried to shield themselves, but it was difficulty. The robots weren't only attacking them, though, they were also damaging the building around them. Eventually it looked like the bricks were starting to crumble.
"Giselle, look out!" Rich exclaimed as he pushed Giselle out of the way of some falling debris.
He managed to keep her safe, but as for himself, he was crushed and trapped under a pile of bricks and metal.
"Ah!" Giselle exclaimed. "I help you."
The other four were finding it difficult to get over this new obstacle.
"Ugh, just perfect," Jarred groaned as he tried to climb over the pile to no avail.
Xavier looked down to see a grate, and through it he could see the other team walking through a tunnel.
"Ah!" he gasped. "Giselle, you need to run now!"
"Wh-what?" Giselle asked nervously.
"It's the other team!" Xavier called. "They've found a way across. You need to get them before they do. Forget about us!"
"Don't…d-don't understand," Giselle quivered frantically.
"Giselle," Rich said. "Forget about me…go…run…there."
Rich pointed to the building.
"Go…you need to win…" Rich said.
Realization seemed to dawn on Giselle. She nodded and ran through the swarm of tanks. She closed her eyes and swatted her way through them until she could squeeze to the building. She ran through the halls as fast as she could, but she could see that the other team had already emerged and were ahead of her.
"No!" she cried as she chased after them.
"Not so fast!" Boe exclaimed as she blocked her path. "We're winning this!"
Giselle struggled to get past Boe, but the larger girl proved to be unmovable.
"I'll just pull this!" Amanda exclaimed as she grabbed the lever and tugged it down.
Suddenly, all around the studio, all the robots fell to the ground.
"Congratulations!" Chris exclaimed. "Team Kiddie secure themselves safety! Team Sci-Fi…does not."
Confessional:
Victor-Only close round…but we did it.
Boe-Ha, that's how we get stuff done!
Giselle-Oh no…I…I fail…Do I…lose now? Is…over?
Jarred-Giselle lost us some precious minutes when she was panicking. Maybe it could have made a difference, maybe not, but the point is, she's looking like the easy choice to vote right now.
(Team Sci-Fi)
"Okay, everyone!" Maggie spat at her team. "I don't have time for all this strategy business. You can waste your time with it if you want, but just make sure you tell me who to vote."
The team broke up into groups as they began to discuss.
"I am…much sorry," Giselle said to LaBelle and Xavier. "This loss…is much…mine…my fault."
"Yes it was," LaBelle replied.
"Not to worry, Lovely," Xavier said. "No one is harming my goddess. I'll see to it."
"You are…very kind," Giselle said with a smile.
"Only the best for you," Xavier said.
"So, who are we voting them?" LaBelle asked.
"Who else?" Xavier said. "Let's cut out the cancer of this tribe…Maggie."
"Maggie…cancer?" Giselle gasped. "Very…sorry for her."
"No, she doesn't have cancer," Xavier said, "she is cancer."
Giselle just looked at him blankly.
"Just make sure that you vote for her," Xavier said.
Confessional:
Xavier-Sure, Giselle might hold us back in challenges and maybe the language barrier will keep things difficult between us. But none of that stuff matters because she is still a goddess! It's time to remove Maggie who has been nothing but sucking out the life of this team.
LaBelle-Gee, it sure would be a shame if someone were to flip from this alliance and take out Giselle. Sounds like something a crazy person would do!
Giselle-Xavier and LaBelle promise safe…but only…3 vote…only half. I want to…be more sure…Maybe I cannot…talk well…but I know…one way…to keep safe.
Giselle approached Rich.
"Oh hi, Giselle," Rich said.
"H-hi," Giselle said. "Um…Rich…I…I'm scared…scared I lose…today."
"What? No, no, you don't have to worry," Rich promised her. "No one blames you for what happened."
"You kind…but not true," Giselle said. "It my fault…and now maybe…go home. Please…protect…please keep me safe."
Giselle leaned in close to Rich who awkwardly put his arms over her back.
"Hey, no need to worry," Rich said. "I got you. I won't let anything happen."
"I…very happy…friend like you," Giselle said. "You keep safe…right? Mean…much."
"Yeah, you have my word," Rich said.
Giselle gave him a quick kiss on the cheek before leaving him behind. Rich was left to blush.
"Hey," Jarred said as he approached.
"Duuh…what?" Rich said in a daze.
"Let's talk about this vote," Jarred said. "Since you're so insistent that we work together. It's got to be Giselle."
"What!?" Rich exclaimed. "No! No, no, no. We can't do that."
"Hey, she blew it today," Jarred said with a shrug.
"She panicked she was nervous," Rich said. "It could have happened to anyone."
"Maybe," Jarred said. "but face it, she's not going to become fluent in English overnight. I don't think there's much hope for her."
"But she's sweet and nice, can't we vote for someone else?" Rich asked.
"I told you, you can't trust her," Jarred said. "She has an alliance with LaBelle and Xavier. Even with Maggie, who's a pain to talk to as it is, we're only half the vote. We need to take them out now, and take out the weakest link among them."
"Isn't there any other way we can do this?" Rich asked.
"You wanted to play tough," Jarred said. "This is what playing tough is like."
Confessional:
Giselle-I can tell…Rich…like me…really like me. I like Rich too…but…I also use to…help me. Rich like me…he don't vote me…I safe.
Rich-I can't vote Giselle! After all that, I don't believe that she'd betray me! How can I betray her!?
Jarred-Great, just great, Giselle's already got her claws in Rich.
(Carpet of Shame)
"Hi guys," Beth greeted as the team of four entered. "Sorry to see you here, this must really suck."
"Definitely," Rich sighed.
"It was inevitable," Xavier shrugged. "We have to clean out our team out unwanted members sooner or later."
"Well, I've got five gold marshmallows," Beth said. "And sadly only five of you will be safe. Whoever doesn't get one has to say goodbye and will be the second person voted out."
"Ha, loser," LaBelle remarked. "Whoever that is, I mean."
"First gold marshmallow," Beth said. "Is for…Rich!"
"Thank you, Beth," Rich said.
"Also…" Beth continued, "…Jarred!"
…
…
…
"LaBelle!"
This left Maggie, Giselle, and Xavier left without a marshmallow.
"Okay only two left," Beth said, "this next one goes to…"
…
…
…
…
…
…
"Giselle!"
"What!?" LaBelle gasped.
Everyone turned to look at her.
"I mean….uh…what!...a lovely surprise that my good friend, Giselle, is safe," LaBelle said with a fake smile.
"Okay, so it comes down to Maggie and Xavier," Beth said. "I'm sorry to say that one of you have to leave, but that person isn't…"

"Maggie!"
"Ah!" Xavier cried. "Robbed! Robbed of my duty! This isn't fair! I must protect these ladies!"
"Xavier, sorry," Beth said. "but you have the most votes."
"Very well, I'm off," Xavier sighed. "LaBelle, win. Giselle, win. The rest of you can go to hell."
With that Xavier waved goodbye and got into the Lame-o-Sine.
"And we won't miss you!" Maggie called.
"So, Team Sci-Fi," Beth said, "I hope you can get yourselves together and do better next time. You five are safe for now though, so head back to your base."
Votes:
Xavier-Maggie, you are toxic to this team. You have no redeeming qualities. You are an insult to all fierce Drama females.
LaBelle-Oops, sorry Giselle. Looks like I'm flipping on my alliance! Who would have seen it coming!?
Giselle-I vote for Maggie…I do hope…you get better…cancer…not good.
Rich-I'm voting for Xavier. Sorry, but I promised Giselle she was safe, and I'm betting that Maggie won't have a problem sending you out either.
Maggie-I'm voting for that stuck up snobby brat who thinks he can call me out…Name? I don't have time to remember a name! Uh…Xander or something.
Jarred-(sighs) I'd better not regret this. But looks like I'm giving into Rich just this once. I'm voting for Xavier.
(Conclusion)
"So, with that, your cast dwindles down to 22!" Chris exclaimed at the gates to the studio. "Team Sci-Fi take their first hit and lose Xavier. Has LaBelle screwed herself over? Will Giselle manage to keep herself safe? And what about the other teams? Will Team Maintenance continue to dominate, despite their obvious dysfunctions? Will Team Wild West reach a breaking point soon? Will Victor be able to keep his tribe from turning into a warfield? Find out next time on Uber…Drama…Action!"

Author's Note: Bye Xavier! He was fun, and honestly there's nothing I really have against him, it's just that I had no plots for him other than getting screwed over by LaBelle, so here he is, second boot!
