Last Experiment Standing Episode 12: A "Dynamite" Event

cowritten by dinoboygreen

Last time on Last Experiment Standing:

An Olympic race made experiments see the best and the worst that each other had to offer.

Some were underclassed, while those like Felix rose to the top. It all came down to a Thunder Round when the challengers had to make it rain. Sample tried his best, but was bested by a plasma raining Splodyhead. In the end they gave Sample the shaft, but I know how to get these guys on their toes. What explosions of excitement will come next in this episode? Find out tonight, on Last! Experiment! Standing!

We open on the Gopher cabin, still shocked over the loss of Sample.

"That oversized plasma cannon cheated! He cost us the challenge!" Richter exclaimed.

"Calm down, Richter. If we keep breaking down like this we'll lose all our team." Melty said.

"Well, one way or another we'll bounce back and take 'em by surprise." Stitch said.

Suddenly the soundspeaker screeches and says, "Okay, campers! Meet me on the docks in three minutes for a special surprise."

["Great. When he says 'special surprise', it just translates out to 'I'm about to change the game again.'" Felix groaned.]

On the docks, Chris announced: "Welcome, campers. Firstly, I feel a tad bored on the teams, so I'm dissolving them from this point forward."

["Perfect! Now I can ditch these losers and make my way to the top! No one will suspect a thing." Yang said with great satisfaction.]

"And also," Chris added. "I'm noticing that we're losing ratings fast after what happened with Sample, so I'm giving the audience four new experiments to mix things up. Presenting the Plasma Quartet!"

"The what?" Richter asked. "Oh no, not them!"

And there they stood: Experiments 617, 033, 609 and 544.

"Campers," Chris announced. "Meet Thresher, Heat, Plasmoid and Hammerface."

"Well hello living blowtorch and ankylosaurus wannabe," Thresher said to Melty and Richter in a mocking tone.

"And hello to you purple weirdo, living plasma cannon, hot ball shooter, and living hammer," Melty sarcastically replied.

"How's your pathetic band The EXperimentZ going?"

"Oh pretty well, much better than yours," Richter replied.

"What's the deal with you guys?" Sparky asked.

"Both of our bands were in a battle of the bands tournament back when we both started out. At first they beat us, but we got the wild card and made it all the way to the finals to meet them again. We ended up winning, so we've been rivals ever since," explained Melty.

"Whoa. Deep stuff."

"So you're the puny experiments I have to deal with? Pathetic." Heat grumbled.

"Back at ya Austrian Hot Tamale." Stitch replied.

"Oi, leave Stitch alone. We still owe him after what happened during that jailbreak on Gantu's bloomin' ship." Thresher said, waiving one of his spiked tentacles in front of Heat's face.

"Out of my way, puny cephalopod! You know I'm the head of this little team of ours." Heat replied.

"Sure, but where your head is I have no idea, Atlas." Plasmoid muttered.

"Good to hear from you again, Hammerface." Melty said.

"Same here, though sometimes I wonder about my friend's 'problem'." Hammerface replied.

"What's that supposed to mean, puny hammer?!"

"Come on, Heat. You know as well as we do that you're still going through anger management classes after what happened to Dupe." Plasmoid pointed out.

"Alright, enough chit-chat, campers. Time for today's challenge."

The experiments arrive on Boney Island, where Chris gives out the challenge of the day.

"Okay, this should be an easy one for you heat-based experiments. Your first task is to have two players make a makeshift 'shroud' of one of your fellow campers to burn.

You're free to choose your partner, but for the sake of argument, no water is to be used for this challenge."

["This'll be a piece of Belgian cake!" Heat said. "I'm called 'Heat' for crying out loud, how can these puny others match up to me?"]

["Heat thinks he's so tough, well it looks like I got a challenge ahead of me, and I know just who to team with…" Richter thought.]

So the teams were made. The first up: Richter and Melty.

"Okay, Melty. It's obvious that Thresher, Heat, Plasmoid and Hammerface are bound to join up, so we better form an alliance so that we don't get beaten." Richter whispered, shattering trees by slamming them with his tail.

"You got it. Anything to show that Austrian fireball launcher a thing or two. By the way, what's with his accent anyway?" Melty asked.

"While he was in anger management, he found some old Arnold Schwarzenegger movies and went nuts." Richter said bluntly.

With that the first half began, Melty burned the wooden shroud of Yang, but it worked too well and melted the whole shroud.

Meanwhile, some of the teams found their own ways of making fire: Felix and Yaarp tried to use flammable natural mixes of leaves and fruits on Bony Island to ignite their shroud of Heat, Spooky used Sparky's electric shocks to ignite a flame, even Chopsuey and Clyde were able t shoot fire from Clyde's mechanical arm. And Splodyhead and Yang's method was pretty obvious.

"I hope you guys don't mind that I helped you get here." Stitch called from a distance.

Thresher only stared angrily and muttered, "Sure, rub salt in the wounds you bloody idiot."

After the tally, Chris announced the results.

"Well, I think we have a winner here: Felix and Yaarp, for their inventive attempt at making a fire."

["I used to clean a cabin home for Lilo while I still on Kauai'i, so I catched on quickly n which thing are flammable." Felix said proudly.]

"But, this challenge is far from finished. The last half of this challenge involves a 'dynamite' result." Chris announced.

"Oi, what's that supposed to mean?" Thresher asked.

"Oh, you'll see in a moment." Chris simply said.

The experiments came back from Boney Island onto the beach.

"Okay, the final task in a dynamite throwing competition. Whoever can throw this dynamite filled cannonball across the lake onto Bony Island wins the prize." Chris announced to the crowd.

" Wait a minute. I thought there was a curse on Bony Island for those who tampered with the island." Hammerface pointed out.

"Well, we need to demolish the island or else Wawanakwa Environmental Protection Agency will have my head."

Our final few contestants stepped up after several attempts by the others.

First up was Richter, who used his thunderous tail to fling the cannonball across the lake, hitting the shoreline.

"Score!" Richter exclaimed.

Next up was Thrasher, who used his long tentacles to throw the cannonball smack-dab into the island, blasting a good chunk of the forests.

And finally there was Stitch, who threw the cannonball so hard, he practically, destroyed the skull-shaped mountain on Boney Island.

"Well, I think we have a winner: Richter and Thresher!"

"What?!" Stitch protested. "I destroyed the skull-shaped mountain!"

"Yeah, but you didn't destroy the whole thing, when it came to that, it tied with Richter and Thresher." Chris pointed out.

That night at the campfire ceremony…

"Campers, there are only thirteen marshmallows on this plate. And the survivors are: Angel, Chopsuey, Spooky, Yaarp, Thresher, Heat, Plasmoid, Hammerface, Melty, Richter, Felix, Splodyhead and… Yang."

"WHAT?! ARE YOU KIDDING ME?! You guys voted for me?! If it weren't for me, you wouldn't be here now!"

"Well, no offense, but you were pretty much rubbing in the fact that we were still reforming." Hammerface pointed out.

"Well it's true! This isn't over yet you know! I'm coming for you Thresher!" Stitch said, being dragged away by Chris.

"Well , that's our episode this week, how will our contestants handle the next challenge? Find out next time on, Last! Experiment! Standing! Mclean out."
