The Grand Ridonculous Race
Chapter 1: Everybody's In Calgary
Part 5: Sasketchwan Strides!
With all of the teams that haven't really been seen since that time, this part is all about them and the many duos that they are interacting, especially with some cool duos getting their time for the first time!
This won't be the last part for a short while, there's a lot of teams to go through in this part, the next part and the last part will contain some of the teams that are revealed to be struggling in this part!
So, you guys should read and review this, because if you do, you'll improve this fanfiction in ways that I couldn't really have envisioned!
Anyways, on with the chapter!
"Welcome back to the Ridonculous Race, where legit celebrities can actually come on this show and have a good time with each other and best friends wear the exact some outfits!"
He was really refurring to Murdoc and 2-D with the former statement, who weren't really at each other's throat and Katie and Sadie with the latter statement, who were both not really scared of losing, but were a little scared of the competition that was stuck back in the first challenge.
Some other teams like the cooks were actually willing to just not be annoying and as a result, they were actually annoyed by the antic of the bandmates and best female friends.
"What? Ya trying to do something, because we're not really not doing something!" 2-D could notice the messed up moves that was just making Murdoc's team.
"So, stop doing the same thing for a billionth time and maybe it would work." Katie was just giving an suggestion that by the virtue of her looks, the bandmates wouldn't really listen to.
"Yeah!" Sadie backed Katie up, as the two of them were just not scared of losing in an non-elimination round.
"We know and this shit is just getting too long." Murdoc was just groaning about the issues of losing in this round, as there was a lot of duos that were actually getting out of the challenge.
"So, go and do the thing." Katie couldn't really work out why these two struggled so much, even witnessing it with her own eyes and Sadie was just barely cringing. "You know, because you're awesome."
"Who the hell are you to say some dumb shit?" Murdoc fired back, not really giving into Katie's reassurance, as the bandmates were ready to get their rock on.
"Come on, she was just trying to get you to do it again." Sadie explained, instantly backing up Katie without an question even asked, as the rest of the lackluster teams that were ready to buck on this horse were doing their thing.
Chowder wasn't that confused about who was right, but Schnitzel pulled him back to just avoid the situation, as they were both up next right after Margo fell off for the third time in row.
Antonio looked like he cared, but it wasn't that apparent on his face, as Chowder and Schnitzel had the loudest groans in the crowd, as they really could feel the pain.
"Schnitzel, is she going to be okay?" Chowder asked with a very worried tone, as Schnitzel replied with something that was just as unsure of the raccoon cook. "Okay..."
"I'm fine, just a little bit injured from the horses...for the third time." Margo was just ready to take on a breather, as she was just looking at Antonio with an confused look. "Why didn't you get on the horses?"
"Because when I get on those, they usually throw me off strongly." Antonio argued with a honest look, as Margo was just giving him an sympathetic, yet odd look.
"Okay, I guess." Margo was just about to see 2-D attempt to do this one more time and it might have been good time, considering that the blue-haired rocker fell down a lot.
"We've been here for way too long and everyone's just kicking it up at the airport without us! I bet there's some kind of party going on." Murdoc was just convinced that there was just something going down, as 2-D was finally trying to hold on the saddle.
Even though, he fell off using the same exact positions, the bandmates were finally through, ribs only being tickled and Murdoc only being slightly less angry about the lackluster position.
*Margo's confessional*
Margo was just groaning at the wide cast that was just set to be finishing this leg.
"I swear my ex-boyfriend is one of the better people and I really have confidence in that. Some washed-up Canadian TV hosts, cups and some other teams are much worse people in general, generally because their ego is just too much to handle!" Margo was just trying to let out her anger using this somewhat unconventional method. "Anyways, don't know how I'm going to deal with this."
*Confesional cut*
With even more teams starting to finish this leg off, it was no surprise that there was a lot of animosity between some of the more furious duos that were just in Calgary and turning up the heat.
Blake and Yang, in particular, were a duo that was just definitely getting their issues from the second challenge, as they're still stuck there along with quite a few teams that didn't get the spotlight before.
"Yeah, it's gonna be like we're going to be here all day if we don't step it up!" Yang was just really motivated to be in a really good mood, as the two of them were obviously not fine with their situation
"How? We tried all we can do and we're stuck with the pirates." Blake commented, being pretty calm in a questionable situation.
"Hey, you should know that it is rude to call us useless." Hook said, even though no-one in particular was actually saying, as Rigby was just making the throw strong. "That's what you meant?!"
"No, I mean you two kinda have no morals. That's what I'm saying." Blake clarified, or at least attempted to, but both of the pirates were not pleased.
"Blast you and your beautiful friend!" Hook was just too angry to really care that much about an minor insult, as Yang was just looking on.
"I feel like there's going to be a lot of unexpected compliments coming your way." Smee told Yang, who wasn't even sure what was happening at this point, but rolled with being in the line.
"Yeah, uh, thanks." Yang didn't really know how to respond thanks to the very awkward conversation and the fact that Modrecai and Rigby were just having a fun celebration. "At least those two are in a great mood."
"Come on, I could've done better, but it was still pretty good." Rigby was just saying to Yang, ready to just leave the park and head towards the Chill Zone.
"Dude, there's no way you're going to make it again like that." Modrecai managed to witness his best friend's awkwardly high-angled throw that managed to have the barrel sit on the other side of the cap.
However, Cody was up next, ready to angle his hand in a particular way that made it so that it would be harder to miss and this time, he had the advantage of fast throws that were just average enough to work.
Unsurprisingly, Cody's average throw ended up spinning the hoop and causing to go off-course and end up in another place that wasn't a barrel and the blonde genius was just thinking about the throw.
"See, I told you that you couldn't do it on the first try!" Mika exclaimed, ready to try for the sixth time to pass the challenge with her throws. "Now I've gotta myself outta this mess."
"Don't worry, wrestling babe, I've got some of my own wrestling skills!" Zack shouted, as Gabe was just embarrassed to be sitting next to him. "Seriously, you're going to have a good time with me."
PJ was just ready to get this challenge with no issues at all, as he didn't notice that the blonde wrestler was just getting mad at Zack trying to obviously woo her.
What was more notice-able was that, for some odd reason, Doppo and Katsumi both ran all of the way to the challenge for no other reason than to just show off and it looked like they worked their hardest.
R. Mika saw this, as she threw the hoop and coincindentally won this challenge and since there was no other reason to stay, she and Zangief were off to the Chill Zone with some fire in her heart.
"Yeah! Talk about an ass kicking! Whatever your name is, we're going to have a fight in the future!" Mika said to Katsumi, who wasn't really in the mood to have an rude wrestler talk to him.
"That was definitely an introduction. Wait, you're that Mika lady right?" Katsumi asked, genuinely wanting to know who the rude wrestler who wasn't wearing a lot and Zangief was just waving to her at a rapid pace.
"Yep and you're going to remember me, Katsumi." Mika exclaimed, getting into the taxi with an rude comment, as Katsumi had an expression that showesd that he wasn't really caring that much about the wrestlers.
"You should be prepared for a tough race." Katsumi was just standing his ground, having an somewhat polite expression.
"I can't believe some people don't have that much respect to just ask for a fight out of a nowhere." Franziska huffed, as the prosecutor was just not in the mood for disrespectful wrestlers to just come in and talk badly. "I will make them regret this mistake."
"No, no, no, it's fine. I've met a lot of people that were just annoying and she isn't really that annoying." Katsumi explained calmly and cooly, as he didn't really care all that much about the altercation.
"Well, she does deserve some pay back for being so disrespectful." Franizska told the karate warrior, who was just looking on ready to take on the next challenge.
"If she wants a fight, this isn't the place for it." Katsumi was actually ready to do a quick fight in a future leg, as Doppo did notice that his adopted son didn't immediately fight.
"I don't think we'd be able to help in any way." Edgeworth told the karate warrior, who wasn't really that intimdated by the strong aura that the prosecutor was giving off. "Though, you should be careful with your team's actions."
Doppo easily managed to win, as the two of them weren't celebrating at all after losing a chance to get on the first flight and Xander was up for the second time in the game and he just saw two muscle-bound and very tall karate warriors just run off and Emma was still very confident.
"You can do it, Xander! Just gotta believe in yourself...with a good post!" Emma was just liking the post like it was nothing, as her data plan provided all of the motivation that her friend needed.
Xander threw the ring, which meant that it was more like an swing and it turned into a straight hit, hooping around the small nozzle.
"Yes! Take that, unpredictable angles!" Xander exclaimed, checking his glasses to make sure that they didn't fall off.
"I can't believe that we didn't even get past this one before they did!" Bakugo's inner frustrations were actually making it really obvious that his fire was a little more out-of-control than usual, as Emma wanted to say something. "I don't care about you're gonna say."
"Excuse me? I'm trying to share an inspirational picture." Emma told the spiky-haired hero, which managed to make a few pair of eyes roll.
Emma and Xander left, Midoriya was just not that surprised and Bakugo was still seething with rage for no apparent reason.
"Relax, everyone's going to get past this challenge eventually." Benimaru stated, not really caring that much about the leaderboard.
"Eventually means that we're going to be very behind on the competition and that we can't catch up." Bakugo was just fired up about the viability of his own team, which didn't matter, as the sun was just going down.
"Fair point, but I don't think getting mad over some mediocre post is going to make you be ahead." Benimaru's somewhat fake smile was actually getting the spiky-haired hero in training even angrier than usual.
"Come on, it was just a heat of the moment thing." Bakugo was really getting tired of the arguement and Benimaru was just willing to take this arguement much further.
K' was just not exactly happy about those two going back and forth, as they were getting nowhere and Shingo and Midoriya were throwing decently and then getting the hoop thrown back to the ground from the side of the bright barrels.
"Stop acting like you're in demand, spiky kid and electric model." K' just threw a dispraging nickname towards the both of them and unsurprisingly, Benimaru and Bakugo didn't like it.
*The Heroic Students' confessional*
Midoriya was just really motivated to not be angry, as his partner could feel the anger that was very obviously there in his heart and the green-haired hero was confused.
"I can't believe that guy just had the attitude to tell me to calm down like a smug dude!" Bakugo was just too angry to let it really go. "Also, I swear there was an backhanded insult in there."
"I don't really know what happened, but I'd like to help! It's what I do after all." Midoriya stated, being as honest as possible.
"I think I can handle it myself, Deku." Bakugo was just replied with a dissapointed tone. "This guy doesn't look like he'd be worth a fight and I know how to fire some words!"
"Alright! I'm still ready to help, if you need me." Izuku was all fired up to help any team and his rival using his other skills, as the two of them were ready to do two completely different things. "I just hope we can team up with any other team!"
*The Cool Friends' confessional*
K' was just groaning at the serious insults, even when it was clear that Maxima couldn't care less about the fight that went on.
"Hold on, why do you really care? No, seriously, those two guys could've done without your input and they would've fought fine." Maxima was just really convinced that the arguement would have finished normally.
"They did shut up, so I was needed." K' wasn't really that fired up, but he wasn't really taking of Maxima's answers.
"I would take your point, but Benimaru was just talking badly about you, so I'm still convinced that it could've gone normally." Maxima crossed his arms with an neutral expression.
"Yeah, that's over, partner, so you don't need to worry about it." K' added, just ending this confessional with an raise of his sunglasses.
*Confessional cut*
There's still a whole lot of teams, as they were all coming in to arrive at the airport without their luggage and with their personalities shown off, as the two heroic wrestlers were coming in with an enthusiastic personality
"Wrestling good guys, you're in 29th!" Don announced
Katsumi and Doppo, despite being behind, were making up for their slight time loss with some good running and their complete focus on finishing off the race and these two were disappointed obviously.
"I can't believe that you two managed to get 30th place. Mordecai and Rigby, you're in 31st." Don announced, as the groundskeepers did a low-key celebration with a "Yeah" being exclaimed.
"That was an weak performance." Doppo was just obviously thinking about what the team could really improve in the next leg. "I doubt it's going to get easier from here."
"Yes, father. We'll figure out how to get up later." Katsumi was just sure that there was a certain way to get back up the leaderboard, as the groundskeepers were nearly celebrating.
The karate professionals were surprised that they did so badly in a round that they should've done really well, as Rigby was just looking towards them with a confused look.
"Dude, they suck." Rigby commented, making sure that neither of the two Japanese men could hear him. "In here, because they're some good-ass fighters."
"Uh, yeah. I don't think everyone's gonna do good when they're here for the first time." Modrecai threw in some obvious insight that might have helped quite a bit.
"As three more teams finish and take the spots on the second flight with their respective tickets..."
Emma and Xander were just both doing a low-key celebration with them both being in 32nd place, as they were just giving each other high-five.
Bakugo and Midoriya both had expressions of trying to figure some stuff out in 33rd place, as they weren't ready to deal with being stuck in the upper quartet with some questionable people.
Katie and Sadie were both jumping when the picture was taken of them being in 34th, which meant that they had the third-to-last ticket.
'
"...there's only two more spots on the second flights, making everyone speed up in a frenzied rush to get to the finish or up their game!"
With all of the teams battling in the first challenge, there was no way that any remaining duos weren't being shown off and some of these duos were working their hardest to get out of there.
Murdoc and 2-D were finally out there, as they both made a sigh that was so audible that a good chunk of the remaining first challenge teams were doing it.
Nathan and Sullivan weren't making the best of their skills, as not they were not only just out of the first challenge, but they were also in the same taxi as Murdoc's duo, making for some good times.
"Excuse me, but why have you got gangreene?" Sullivan was just asking a question that set off Murdoc in a very obvious way. "What the hell else is it?"
"It's just a thing, okay? I've been through some shit that you've clearly never been through and I came out better than you!" Murdoc clearly was angry over the skin comment, though not by much.
"Oh, so what? I can't believe that some celebrity with green skin is just getting angry over some small comment that I made." Sullivan were actually pretty sure that Murdoc was just
"Okay, that's total bull. I swear I don't care and you're getting mad over practically nothing, so shut your mouth and just do...what the hell you're doing." Murdoc was really willing to bring it on, as he looked like that he couldn't care less.
"I'm doing not much, but at least I don't have green skin." Sullivan threw it pretty quickly, as he was actually pretty heated.
Nathan and 2-D weren't exactly ready, but they'd rather just make sure that the horse didn't throw them off for the fourth time.
"Some horse is beating a treasure hunter. I guess everyone has their moments for sure." Lori noticed, as she was just ready to take it all on once again.
"Man, every time I see you riding it, I think I should have been riding on that horse." Luna was just saying it out there, as the rocking sister was really ready to switch roles.
"And we'll take a penalty, so we'll be in the worst position, but I know I can do this." Lori was still very worried about her position in the race, but she was still prepared.
"You sure? 'Cause I know you can make it work!" Luna was just seeing that Boomstick was just plain old thrown off the horse with a harsh swing. "See, that guy's big and he just fell off."
"Still, that doesn't we're going to get onto the third flight. Everyone's already left, but we're not going to be left behind." Lori confidently said, as Boomstick was just groaning at the fact that he switched challenges and it still didn't work. "Wait, you were on another challenge."
"Hey, come on, how would even you know?!" Boomstick shouted, genuinely worried about his reputation tanking due to being bad.
"I don't even know." Luna asked, answering for an observant Lori.
"If you think you can do it, then show us how it's done!" Boomstick was just not seeing the facepalm from his long-standing partner, whose metal arm could even be heard.
"Okay." Lori was just ready to shut someone up, as Wizard was just about to see his plaid-shirt wearing friend get shown how it was done.
Lori was scared, but there was definitely a few people that were really encouraging of her.
"Come on, you can do it, dude!" Nino was just getting an look that showed Lori wasn't too pleased with the comment. "I don't know how to say it, though!"
Lori was just getting started with the bucking ride that was just making most of the teams go wild with anticipation for the potential of her winning this round.
Boomstick was not surprised, as the seconds were ticking upwards until the rather slim time limit, but Lori was definitely struggling to stay on the saddle without holding tightly onto the ropes.
The ropes, luckily, really held on, as Lori just about managed to stay upright for the full ten seconds and she was awarded with an tip.
"Finally, Lori, you rocked it and you did it!" Luna was just really excited to have her sister finally beat the challenge, as Boomstick was looking on with anger. "Anyways, we've got to really step on it!"
"I was thinking way ahead of you." Lori confidently said, as the two sisters were finally out of the area and Buford was also seeing it.
"Maybe, picking you was a really bad idea." Buford was just looking at Baljeet with an angry and regretful look, as Baljeet sighed heavily.
"You're right, but I have to make it through! I know what a bucking horse can do and yet I decided to ride it." Baljeet voiced his own regrets, as he was just looking more ready than ever to do it.
"Anyways, I lost count of how many times we did it." Buford was just looking at his own fingers, as the bully was just trying to count it.
"Fifty exactly, which for a team which started near the back is dire."
"Now, un-dire it!"
*The Internet Hosts' confessional*
Wizard and Boomstick were not confused by any stretch of the imagination, as they were very confused.
"Now as we know, we may not be the best team to be judging, considering that our current position is pretty low, even considering the increased roster size-" Wizard was just trying to talk it out reasonably.
"You done talking, because I think that this race is hella fun and that those boys suck way worse than we do! We just got unlucky!" Boomstick was just very motivated and very angry, ready to just break something up.
"Look, if we had bad luck, then we wouldn't be stuck in this place or even performing so badly that a big, strong man like yourself would-" Wizard explained as calmly as he could, even with some questionable wording being used.
"Doesn't matter, because I've got a lot more where that came from!" Boomstick was just fired up, ready to just take everyone on.
*Confessional cut*
"Also, there's a lot of duos that are making their way to the Chill Zone with their partners in hand, as they're either in a taxi or right here, ruining the suspension...sorta." Don announced, as there was a certain young team that was just ready to represent their own world.
Blake had a look on her facet hat didn't look too happy at the resulting match that just happened and Yang was still in a really good mood, as she knew that they had a chance to reach the top.
"Blake, Yang, you two are in 35th place, taking the second-to-last ticket to your next location!"
Yang was just really surprised at what was up next, as obviously, neither of them had been on this planet before, but she was still shocked.
"Wait, Liverpool? Why does that feel kinda familiar?" Yang was just really asking the important questions, as Don was just shrugging without much of a care.
"It doesn't. Now, let's go." Blake said without a moment's hesitation, as the black-haired Faunus was really focused on the competition that was on hand, as there was only one more spot in the second flight.
Blake and Yang were out of the screen, as there was grand total of five teams that were on their way to the Chill Zone and out of the second challenge and these teams weren't wasting any time doing their own thing.
Yes, they were also not that competitive, so what they were really doing at the moment was just catching up.
"Now, the remaining five teams that are competiting for the last tickets on the second flight are fierce and are talking plain strategy!"
To put it this way, Carly and Sam had met up for the first time in four years and Spencer and Cat were just not willing to interrupt.
"Oh my god, it's been a while. Where the heck have you been?" Sam was just asking an old friend, who had grown a little bit.
"Japan, been doing stuff, been learning Japanese and...been missing my brother! I heard you guys were doing good up in Seattle!" Carly's excitement to see her old friend was definitely making Sam smile a lot.
"Yep, got our own successful babysitting business and it's been making some good money and not gonna lie, it's been hard as heck, but we're making bank!" Sam bragged with a lot of honesty and warmth in her heart.
"...Wait, do you mean?" Carly was still smiling, talking like good friends should.
"Making a lot of money, obviously." Sam stated, ready to bring some competition into this. "Anyways, we're not sitting babies, but a whole lot of children."
Cat was just relaxing on the seat, as Spencer was trying to get around the fact that he couldn't really relax properly on the seat.
"Whoa, you'd be the last person I thought would be babysitting someone. I thought you would be hustling...doing something really dumb and barely legal." Spencer was just trying to hold back his surprise.
"I think that was what we almost did, but then Nora got all of the stuff we needed to not get arrested." Cat accidentally revealed the details, as Sam looked a little more pissed off than usual.
"Isn't that how it normally works?" Spencer said, as though he wasn't that surprised.
"Yeah...Sam, why are looking at me like that?" Cat was just sure that she managed to mess something up.
"Because you didn't exactly help things, so...stop." Sam was just pushing Cat with a light tap, as Cat was just completely unsure.
"Finally, K' and Maxima, I don't know how you two have got ahead, but you two have got the final spot on the second flight to...Liverpool!" Don announced, as Maxima actually cracked a smile at his good fortunes, while K' was just not bothered. "Seriously, it's a good place!"
"I haven't been there, but I know it's not that great, because it's in England." K' was just looking towards the sunny skies, not really caring about the hosts' feelings.
"...Man, you're definitely not the best judge of a place." Maxima added, making Don actually feel a little bit relieved.
Shingo and Benimaru were the next team to come in with a good run, as they were just panting to make sure that they weren't out of breath and Benimaru managed to get enough breath back to stand tall.
"Shingo and Benimaru, you two are in 37th place and-"
"Are on the second flight to Liverpool, right?" Benimaru interrupted Don, but despite the rude interruption, the host didn't really change his expression.
"-you're the first team on the third flight! How did you know anyways?"
Shingo was really confident about this answer and so was Benimaru, as the host already kinda knew, as they just gave the tip so quickly.
The main host shrugged, as the teams that were waiting for their flights in the airport were quickly joined by a duo that was just very top-heavy and very muscle-bond, actually scaring Don.
"That's me when I see a Pinto." Abigail pointed out with a quick chuckle, as Hugo was just not getting it.
"Whew, er, you two are in 38th place, so congrats on not losing!"
The two talkative teams, the long-distance siblings and the babysitters, were finally out of the taxi, as they were a little bit impatient about not getting their taxi to be in the place.
"Man, we did it." Sam was just relaxed, as she was just walking up to the Chill Zone with a decent mood.
"I don't think we did it together, but we did do it." Spencer was just commenting, as one of the two teams would have to come in 40th place.
Sam and Cat obviously took the opportunity to walk a little bit faster, as Carly and Spencer were just ready to take the slightly lower place.
"Sam, Cat, you've both easily snatched 39th! Carly and Spencer, you two are in 40th and you both are going on the same flight, which isn't as slow as the last flight!" Don announced, as the both of them were just giving each other a quick fist-pump.
Bowser and Bowser Jr. were both genuinely mad at each other for just slacking so much in this leg, as they both had mean faces.
"Come on, dad, what are you doing?" Bowser Jr. was just plain worried about his dad just not being as good as the competition.
"No, what are you doing? I don't even know what's up with you." Bowser somehow felt the way, albeit being more disappointed.
"I was just-" Bowser Jr. was furiously attempting to explain himself, as the host was about to say something.
"You two are in 41st place, congratulations! You get to go on the third flight!" Don announced, as the main host was just not surprised at the two of them being angry at each other and deliberately cut them off.
"Hey, you just cut us off, host guy!" Bowser Jr. shouted, while Don was ignoring them.
"Yeah, that's a bad guy move for sure!" Bowser fired back without a hint of irony, as he was just really ready to make sure that he could do it
Bowser and Bowser Jr. were just not the first team to get cut off, but the teams that were potentially going to get cut off had to come later, as there was a lot of them coming in the future.
The last person that you would expect to be a contestant was Chris, but he was also very ridiculed so it would be fair that his team wouldn't get the best rap, even with Chef holding him up,
"Yeah, what's your problem?" Chris asked pretty angrily, as the main host with the most was just genuinely determined to bring it on.
"Man, you two are the biggest joke that there is." Zack was just throwing some good puns, as he didn't even really care about the host's ability to shut someone up.
"Come on, I don't really care, because everyone says that." Chris just said what everyone was thinking.
"Cool, it's not exactly a new fact, but you should change it." Zack was just given a strange nod from Leshawna, who wasn't too happy at being stuck at the second challenge.
Franklin and Michael were both in the same situation, as they were just sitting right next to the easily-roasted guys and yet, they weren't able to get past this challenge.
"Geez, this is just getting ironic and I'm already roasted to death." Michael wondered, as the washed-up actor was thinking back on his own success. "Some rushjob of a challenge is beating up an actor like me."
"That's because you suck." Chef added, ready to lay into the actor for not doing his job well. "You ain't nothing but some rich white guy with some serious issues."
"And you're definitely still trying to live like you're in the army, so you should go and get yourself checked for something." Michael tried to save his own face
Leshawna and Leshaniqua were just watching on, as they watched a guy who, in their own perspective, deserved the roasting that he was getting at the time.
Frankilin couldn't really help but agree with him, as Michael was just too angry to not really pull any punches on this one and Leshawna was seeing something strange.
"We are not gonna be stuck here any longer! Leshawna's gonna finally get past this challenge!" Leshawna was determined not to let her well-timed throw go to waste, as the hoop was just revolving at a very rapid pace, fast enough to accidentally infulence the direction.
"I swear that hoop is doing something crazy, because-" Leshaniqua finally saw the spinning hoop transfer all of its momentum into holding onto the barrel's nozzle, as it was fully on. "Come on, we've gotta go!"
There was a lot of teams that were just still working on the challenge that was quite literally throwing hoops and the angriest ones went first.
"Oh, I'll show you a good throw!" Michael was just ready to make a really good demontstration for everyone that was just watching in the moment.
"I've seen better throws from little kids and you're acting like one too." Chef was just ready to fire back easily.
"Goddamn it, he ain't wrong, but he ain't right either." Franklin was just crossing his own arms, as he wasn't exactly in his element.
Michael threw with a tight grip on the hoop, as though he was in his own element of being a terrible man doing a lot of terrible things and what was pretty important that was the nozzle got lodged...
...again.
"What do you think of that, huh?!" The washed-up actor did manage to impress quite a few people.
"That was just pretty amazing! Seriously, how are you that angry?" Maya was just more shocked than ever, as she was just really happy.
"Blood, sweat, tears and a whole lot of fighting." Michael proclaimed, as Franklin was just shaking his own head with a smile.
"That's it! That's what we need to make it through!" Mugman was just beaming with a new way to beat this challenge.
"You can't be serious with this stuff. What the fuck were you doing?" Franklin was just struggling to not put his head down with anger.
"...Something." Mugman answered with an non-answer, as the rest of the teams were just looking at him like an idiot.
*The Awkward Father's & Son's confessional*
Max was just genuinely ready to do it once again.
"Dad, I have a new idea, but I don't know if it's going to work!" Max was just trying to get out of this challenge.
"Son, if there's one thing I know, is that you always do it!" Goofy exclaimed, getting Max to be a lot more nervous than usual. "What is it, son?"
"It's nothing much, just that I'm scared of messing it up." Max tried to really hide it.
"Don't worry about it, you've got your dad here with you, ready to chill!" Goofy was just crossing his arms with a very confident smile.
"That's fine." Max was just a little less nervous, actually having a little bit of a smile.
*Confessional cut*
Andre and Robbie finally got here with their breaths being shallow and their passion being deep, as they were just out of the taxi.
"There's a whole lot of teams doing the second challenge..."
The two students from Hollywood Arts were prepared to do the wait, as they were just thinking about some other stuff.
"...and not a lot finishing the entire leg, which this team managed to do!"
It wasn't really easy to be one of the teams that were just working their hardest to snatch a decent place, as they were in short supply.
Both teams were just looking at Don with the expectation that the results were going to come quickly.
"Leshawna and Leshaniqua, you're the only team to end up in 42nd place for some reason!"
The two of them were just determined to get on with the competition, as the duo were just working with another team, who just ran directly behind them and Leshawna.
"Actually, I didn't see you there, Franklin and Michael! Looks like you guys went ride-sharing with these two and landed in 43rd place!"
"Oh shoot." Michael was actually confident to censor himself without any apologies. "We messed up."
"Nah, we both messed up just as hard." Leshaniqua saw that Michael had a bit of a dirty look, as she was just backing up from him.
"You're both on the third flight!"
Both teams were just at least happy to not be in the last flight, even if it didn't last enough to really be notable.
"There's still a whole amount of people that were just enthusiastically doing the first challenge and these people...have no reason to be so far back."
There was still a whole lot of frustrated throws, as the number of teams didn't really shrink by much on the second challenge, but rather, who the teams were changed to be teams that were recently done with the first challenge and who could really bring it on.
Unsurprisingly, there was a lot of effort put into the hopping over bushes sub-challenge that was just throwing a few people off a loop.
"You've got to be joking! What kind of mad-man makes a challenge like this and is fine with it?!" Ryuji was just plain frustrated with a bush-jumping.
"The type of people who just make something where people around the world in special challenges." Richter remarked, clearly not in doing a horse-riding course as a person.
"That's not that crazy, it's normal at this point." Ryuji was just throwing an incredulous look back, as the whip-holder, who was right beside him, would probably know about a challenge like this. "Come on, where have you been?"
"Defeating Dracula in his castle!" Richter said with his teeth gritted, not ready to be in the arguement.
"Yeah, sure and I'm teaming up with vampires to scare you." Ryuji's smug sarcasm wasn't really nesscessary, but he couldn't really believe the young man's words.
"Well, at least I'm not someone who would dismiss the danger of vampires existing." Richter was just crossing his own arms.
"Tell it to my...my...my friends!" Ryuji did the same thing with an obviously forced smile.
This prompted Siegfried to just not say anything, as there was only a few teams that were selecting this part of the challenge and not getting away with switching the challenges.
"You two should be happy that you're not living with a curse." Siegfried groaned in anger. "At least you're not swapping with a demon that is always willing to make people feel pain."
Richter and Ryuji were just looking at their teammates, Maria and Yusuke, respectively and then at an laboured Siegfried, who was just tired of having to watch his accquaitance do the same challenge again and again.
"I'd rather not comment." Richter was just refraining from doing something, as the power of contracts weren't really a new thing to him.
"Yeah, that's just kinda...deep, dude." Ryuji was just struggling to come up with some more words.
"Anyways, what do I do to dispel this demon-"
"Ah, shut up!" Boxman shouted out of nowhere, managing to get everyone's attention by his loud voice. "What are you three talking, because I can tell it's just nothing other than fairy tales."
"I got nothing else better to do anyways, so what's your problem?" Ryuji was just more bored than anything, as Richter and Siegfried were just holding back your anger.
"I don't even know, but I'm tired of being on this challenge!" Boxman was just sure that Eggman couldn't really make it, despite the scientist having some impressive hops. "Eggman, you step it up!"
"Uh, hey, that's what Sonic would have said." Eggman grumbled loudly, trying to run as fast as he could before he jumped over the next hurdle.
Yusuke, finally made it, was looking around to see what was just happening, as the situation was just starting to be a little bit crazy.
"Come on, Ryuji, now it's our time to go." Yusuke said to Ryuji, who was really elated to be out of the challenge.
"Yeah, we're out! See ya later, I guess." Ryuji was just really awkwardly saying, before the next three teams failed for the umpteenth time, thanks to high jump height requirement. "Er, watch your step."
Predictably, Eggman was actually in last place, as while he had the jumps, he was too tired to really be in the mood to run as fast as he really could.
Even though Maria and Sophitia were both working with each other to make sure that the bushes weren't big enough hurdles for them, their minutes were just above the 2 minute time limit.
Those three teams were just dissapointed at the result and they were actively against going around the course one more time just to finish it.
*Richter and Maria's confessional*
Richter was just plain frustrated at his inability to get over the challenges, as Maria was just trying to reassure him.
"Come on, you have the ability to slay vampires and all sorts of monsters and look at what it did to that thief."
"In fairness, I did not know that said thief was actually a man that had no home, but still all of those matters. Throwing axes should not be easier than throwing lightweight hoops!" Richter was just genuinely frustrated.
"Fear not, for the chance to finish this challenge is closer than ever!" Maria exclaimed, as she was just believing in Richter's ability.
"You said that and yet, it didn't happen. Looks like I'm going to have to throw them in unusual ways." Richter was just determined to see this through to the end.
*Siegfried and Sophitia's confessional*
Siegfried and Sophitia were a little bit tired from working too hard and Sophitia was actually pleased about the progress in completing the challenge.
"I can't believe that you would drag me to another world to hold onto an uncooperative and yet, throwing hoops is your weakness." Siegfried said this, trying to get Sophitia to stop caring.
"Believe me, I'm far from good at this task. But dismissing me isn't really a good idea, when you've got nowhere else to run." Sophitia was just happy to keep it simple.
"I'll run to wherever I can get back to where I'm needed if I have to with...something!" Siegfried was just as angry as he was in the challenge.
"...I can easily see, why I'm needed here and do not fret, helping you is what I'm going to do!" Sophitia was really in a motivated mood to do this thing.
"You can not follow me everywhere I go." Siegfried told the Greek lady with a very stern look on his face, as Sophitia was just trying to do the same thing, but it wasn't as intense as the
*Confessional cut*
"As some duos lag behind in a lap of their own..."
It was really obvious that all of the teams were working their hardest on finishing this challenge off and these five in particular, were just prepared to work their butts to make themselves matter.
"...The race to not end up on the last flight goes full steam ahead, as all of the teams are willing to lend their legs to the cause of trying to finish this leg!"
Every single one of the teams that were coming out of their own taxis to reach the Chill Zone put their game faces on, as some of them were not pleased with their potential placings, while others were just trying to stay ahead in the game.
"Okay, son, it's not going to be easy to hold onto this place!" Goofy was just running as fast as he could, quite a distance ahead of the rest of the teams.
"Dad, there's a pebble coming straight for your foot!" Max shouted, as he could clearly see that there was a thrown pebble coming from somewhere.
Max and Goofy were both just trying to dodge the rocks and in doing so, allowed the prosecutors and the cup brothers to get on ahead, one of them willing to look into this.
"This is probably a slight case of sabotage, but it's worrying that it is happening this early on in the competition." Miles noted, while he was still running with his partner.
"Sometimes, people just go too far." Franizska said, as one of the teams managed to hear that remark and pointed fingers at her. "That was a while ago, fool."
Maya was obviously the one that was pointing the fingers, as Phoenix was just unsure of why she would do that.
"Prosecutors, you've earned 44th place!"
Miles was just done sighing, while Franizska looked as if as she couldn't exactly hold her anger in for this challenge, as the two prosecutors were standing tall.
"45th place!"
Cuphead and Mugman were both looked despondent about their pretty lackluster performance in the race, as they were just looking towards the potentially prosperous future.
"46th place!"
Goofy and Max weren't exactly too happy at their placement, but they both had smiles on their face from the journey that they've started
"47th place!"
Andre and Robbie both looked somewhat stressed about their positions, but also happy that they got to be in Canada, even if it was only for a leg.
"Finally for this part, The Defending Lawyers get 48th place!"
Phoenix Wright and Maya Fey were both relieved to be done with the whole entire leg, as the two of them were just ready to sit down on the pavement at this point.
"And with that, there's still a lot of spots on the second flight! Will there be a bit of a shake up between some of the teams? Will one of the teams that just barely entered the second challenge make a comeback to get onto the third flight? Will a top tier team lag behind to be on the last flight? Those questions and more...after the break!" Don was just ready to finish off the episode, as the host with the flat brown hair was just giving a way to transition into a break.
