Episode 13
Chris: Last time on Total Smash Action. I decided to take it easy on the contestants by having the last challenge be a free challenge where they didn't have to worry about being eliminated. But, I did give them a few surprises. The first surprise was that the teams have finally merged and there for, its every contestant for themselves, including the new contestants. That's right, as the biggest surprise of the last episode, two new contestants from the last season of Total Smash Island joined the cast, as Link came back as an audience favourite and Mario is also back because I decided it would be great for T.V. drama ratings. I am such a genius. The challenge that they faced was a musical theatre challenge where they had to sing and dance to songs from the popular musical Grease, where the winners got a full expenses paid trip to a five start hotel, where they will live in luxury. And in the end, it was the couple of Fox and Samus who won the rip after killing it in the song 'Summer Nights'. And it seems there's still some tension between Link and Zelda after Zelda tried to ruin Links chances of winning. Will Zelda be able to escape eliminate despite being a target? How will Link and Mario fair in their first elimination challenge? And who will be the first contestant to be eliminated after the merge? Find out right here, on Total... Smash... Action!
*Intro, but with Link and Mario added to the intro*
We see all the contestants sitting around the trailers in silence as everyone seems to be by themselves. Them, a Limousine arrive and Fox and Samus get out of the car and it leaves. Fox and Samus see everyone around the trailers and look confused.
*Confessional*
Fox: Man, it's like a ghost town around here. What's everyone's damage? Are they upset that they didn't won the prize?
Samus: It was really awkward coming back to the trailers. Everyone was so silent and had very serious looks on their faces. I wonder what's wrong with everyone?
*End of Confessional*
Fox: Hey guys.
Samus: We're back.
Shulk, Ike, Lucina and Link see them and walk over to them.
Link: Hey guys. How was the trip?
Lucina: Were you guys able to enjoy some 'quality' time together?
Both Fox and Samus blush, but smile.
Fox: The hotel was nice.
Samus: The break was definitely needed.
Shulk: Dang, now I'm jealous.
They all laugh. Zelda and Mario look at them in disgust
*Confessional*
Zelda: It should of been me who was being pampered and needed a break from this competition. It's hard being the smartest and best competitor her.
Mario: I know they're trying to make me jealous on purpose, but I won't let them get under my skin. I'll get under theirs first. That sounds really wrong.
Ganondorf: Now that it's everyone for themselves, everyone is going to really going to try and win every challenge. I just need to make sure not to fall behind. Especially with Zelda around.
Dark Pit: It looks like everyone is watching their own backs now that we're all on our own. I just hope I can survive with Zelda around.
*End of Confessional*
Fox: So what's going on around here?
Samus: Why is everyone so silent?
Shulk: I'm not surprised that's the first thing you two notices.
Ike: Ever since you guys left, everyone has been on edge.
Fox: What for?
Link: Because of the merge and knowing that it's every contestant for themselves.
Lucina: Even though we're all friends, we're still enemies and all competing to win.
Fox: That is true.
Samus: But that doesn't mean we still can't talk to each other like normal. We can all be competing for the same goal and it's true that only one of us can win, but we can all still be friends and have a good time with each other.
Link: She's right. We need to stop worrying and start enjoying ourselves.
Ike: Yeah, I mean, what's the worst that could happen.
Chris then walks in looking like a headmaster of a school.
Chris: Good morning contestants.
Ike: Oh right, I forgot.
Chris: You all look like you're in high spirits.
Zelda: Oh bite me.
Lucina: So what's with the teacher outfit?
Chris: I'm glad you asked. And, it's actually a headmaster costume. So I want you all to gather round students.
Everyone walks over and makes a semi circle in front of Chris.
Chris: Good job. Now, anime these days has been getting bigger and bigger every year, so I decided to make today's challenge, an anime school challenge.
Everyone looks excited except for Zelda and Ike who have looks of disgust. Zelda see Ike's face and smiles evilly.
*Confessional*
Zelda: Hmm, it looks like Ike has the same hatred for anime as I do. It looks like I have my next victim to get eliminated in case I lose today's challenge.
*End of Confessional*
Zelda: So, you don't like anime Ike?
Ike: Don't like it? I hate it.
Lucina: Really?
Link: Why not?
Ike: It's stupid. It makes no sense, half of them are the same, they're all too cartoony and whoever watches them and invests time into them is stupid.
Samus: I love anime.
Link: Same here.
Shulk: I think it's fun to watch.
Fox: I find it funny.
Lucina: I get into the characters and their stories.
Ganondorf: It's actually got good writing.
Dark Pit: And good action.
Mario: It's honestly not bad.
Zelda: And some of them are pleasing to look at. So are you calling all of us stupid.
Ike: For watching anime, yes.
They all look at Ike in anger, except Zelda who looks at him with an evilly smiling.
Chris: Well whether you like anime or not, you'll all be competing if you want to stay in the competition. Like Total Smash Island, now that it's every contestant for themselves, that means the winner of each challenge will gain invincibility for the vote and can't be voted off. So I hope you're all taking this very seriously. No, if you would all follow me to the studio, where we will soon begin the first part of your challenge.
They all follow Chris to the studio, where Ike is walking ahead of everyone who looks at him with anger and confusion.
*Confessional*
Lucina: Man, what's Ike's deal?
Shulk: He acting like he was back on the Island. Something is definitely wrong.
Link: Ike has changed. I'm not sure how, but I think something fishy is going on with him.
Fox: This is almost like how Marth was when his attitude started to stink. Maybe this is Zelda's doing. But Ike seemed very hell bent on telling us his feelings. Guess we'll need to keep an eye on both of them.
*End of Confessional*
They reach the studio where Chris opens the door and the lights come on to reveal a big classroom which has been designed to look like and anime high school. The contestants look at the classroom in amazement.
Chris: Since most school animes take place in high school, I figured we could we could at least get the aesthetics right. Because this is the location of the first part of your challenge. Now can anyone guess what is every kids worst nightmare in high school.
Mario: Getting rejected by girls.
Chris: Nope. But I'm glad to hear about your past Mario.
Everyone laughs while Mario looks at them in anger.
Chris: There's something even worse than that.
Fox: Gym?
Chris: Close, but nope. It's the final exams. Because as we all know, the final exams can either make or break your future. So as your first challenge, you will be answering an exam that had 100 questions about anime. But, the goal isn't to answer all of the questions, it's to last for an hour without going crazy. If you can do that, you will move on to part two. Also, Chef will be the teach that will be watching you while you take the exam.
Chef storms in through the door and looks at the contestants with a scary face and everyone looks scared.
Chris: Also, if you decide to cheat storm out of the class or annoy Chef, you will be disqualified and you'll be out for the rest of the challenge. Now, everyone take your seats.
Everyone takes their own individual seats away from everyone else. Chef then gives out the test and looks at everyone with anger.
Chris: Alright, Chef will start the challenge once I've left the room. I'll see you all in an hour.
Chris leaves and closes the door behind him.
Chef: Alright maggots! You time starts now!
Everyone opens the exam papers and start to write. We then see Chris outside the studio.
Chris: It looks like the challenge has started and everyone is taking it seriously? But, who will survive the final exams? Who will move on to the second part of the challenge? And who will win the first elimination challenge since the merge? Find out when we come back, on Total... Smash... Action!
*Commercials*
Chris: Welcome back to Total Smash Action. It's been 30 minutes since the first part of the anime school challenge has started. The contestants are halfway through surviving their final exam. let's see how they're all getting on.
We see some of the contestants still writing but some are thinking and looking annoyed, especially Ike, who looks like he's about to snap. We see Zelda who is sitting behind Ike with an evil smirk.
*Confessional*
Zelda: I sat behind Ike for this very reason. It's time to give Ike that little push. Looks like I'm getting of free from today's challenge. But, I'll still try to win today's challenge. I need to solidify my place at the top.
*End of Confessional*
Zelda: *Quietly* Man, it really sucks that this exam is all about animes huh. Just makes me wanna tear my hair out. But I'm sure you can survive these really monotonous anime questions.
Ike then stands up in anger and everyone looks at him.
Ike: *Angry* That's it, I've had it! I'm done with these questions! Who really care about this crap!? This stuff is for little kids and for people with little IQ.
Everyone looks at him in anger.
Ganondorf: Then why don't you just leave.
Ike: Because I actually want to win this challenge and not gush over some dumb cartoons.
Lucina: Look, we don't need to hear your complaining the whole time.
Chef: I agree. Ike, you are here by disqualified.
Ike: What?! Why?!
Fox: You're really asking why?
Ike leaves and slams the door behind him.
Chef: Thank god. I was really getting annoyed by that guy.
Samus: Same here.
Chef: Did I ask for your opinion!?
Samus: No sir!
Chef: Good! Now get back to work!
Everyone gets back to writing.
*Confessional*
Shulk: Something is definitely off with Ike. I'm not sure what, but I think I may have an idea. I just wished I had all of the facts before assuming anything.
Samus: Man, something is seriously wrong with Ike. I wonder if anime really makes him that angry.
Lucina: Ike is acting like a real jerk. I swear, I've never seen this side of him.
*End of Confessional*
More time has passed and the contestants have 10 minutes left. We then see Dark Pit looking over Link's shoulder and Mario is doing the same as they are both sitting behind him. Chef spots them and they try to hide. Chef then walks over to them and stands over them. They try to play innocent.
Mario: Oh hey Chef.
Dark Pit: How's it going?
Chef: What do you two think you're doing?
Mario: Trying to finish the exam. What else can we do?
Chef: Don't play dumb with me. I saw you peaking at Link's answer.
Dark Pit: What, we would never...
Link: I'm glad you saw it Chef. I was starting to lose my mind.
Mario: What the hell Link?
Dark Pit: Why would you rat us out like that?
Link: I would of done it earlier, but no one likes a tattletale in school.
Chef: That's right. And it seems you two have admitted to cheating, which means you're both disqualified.
Mario: But we...
Chef: NOW, GET OUT OF MY CLASS!
They both leave the studio and wait outside where Ike is.
Ike: You two out too huh?
Dark Pit: Don't talk to us.
The last 10 minutes have gone by and the timer on Chef's watch goes off. Chris then walks into the classroom.
Chris: Alright students, you can put your pencil down.
Everyone drops their pen and look exhausted.
Chris: You have all survived the first part of the challenge. Now follow me the sports movie studio for the second part of the challenge.
Everyone leaves and follows Chris while walking and looking tired.
Dark Pit: So how were the last 10 minutes of the exam?
Fox: Ugh, they were the worst.
Samus: They were the longest 10 minutes of my life.
Ganondorf: The last 10 minutes felt like an hour in itself.
Shulk: This is why I don't miss school.
Zelda: I hear that.
Chris: Hey! No slaking. Otherwise, there may be a punishment of the exam kind waiting for you.
Everyone looks scared as they reach the sports movie studio. They all go inside and see an athletics track. Everyone looks at the track in amazement.
Chris: This, is the second part of your challenge. The toast race.
*Confessional*
Link: The what race?
Fox: Did he just toast race.
Lucina: Those are words that I never thought I'd ever hear in the same sentence together.
*End of Confessional*
Chris: I can see that you all seem confused, so I'll explain. In pretty much every anime ever, whenever an anime girl character is late and hasn't had any breakfast, she always seems to run to school while having a piece of toast in her and then bumping into the love of her life. Your challenge is to run 10 laps around this track while having a piece of toast in your mouth and dodging the obstacle of cardboard pop-up anime boys that are looking to bump into you.
Chef then gives all the contestants who survived the exam a piece of toast.
Chris: But be warned. If the toast as any point falls out of your mouth and hits the floor, you will be disqualified and you won't be able to be a part of the final part of the challenge.
The contestants then take their starting positions.
Chris: On your marks... Get set... GO!
They all start to run with the toasts in their mouths. When they reach 200 meters, the first cardboard pop-up comes out from the edge of the track which Ganondorf runs into and his toast falls out of his mouth.
Ganondorf: *In pain* Ow. That hurt.
Chris: And Ganondorf is out. How will the rest do in this race?
After 5 laps, we can see Samus and Lucina looking really tired. Lucina than collapses and Samus trips over her. Causing both of their toasts to fall out of their mouths.
Chris: And there goes Samus and Lucina. We're down to the final four, with Shulk is in the lead, Link not too far behind him and Fox and Zelda racing for third place. How will they do for the rest of the race?
The bell rings for the final lap and Shulk and Link get away from Fox and Zelda who both start to slow down.
*Confessional*
Zelda: It looks like Fox is really tired. I guess I should help him by giving him a little push, or trip.
*End of Confessional*
Shulk and Link pass the finish line. Zelda and Fox are 100 meters away. But Zelda than sneakingly trips up Fox. Fox then falls to the floor pretty roughly and his toast fall out of his mouth while Zelda crosses the line.
Chris: And Zelda crosses the finish line, as Fox was so close but collapses near the end. I guess he couldn't handle it.
Samus, Lucina, Link and Shulk run over to Fox who gets up and dusts himself off.
Link: Fox!
Samus: Are you okay babe?
Fox: Yeah, I'm fine.
Lucina: What happened? I thought you were going to get to the end for sure.
Fox: I guess the tiredness from the exam finally caught up to me and I just collapsed. But I really thought I was going to make it.
Samus: Hey, don't beat yourself up about it. You still made it pretty far.
Shulk: Yeah. It could of happened to any of us.
Fox: Thanks guys. And congrats to you Shulk for making it. You too Link.
Link: Thanks man. But I'm worried about what the final part will be.
Samus: Especially since Zelda is also in the final part of the challenge.
Shulk: Well, let's hope it's nothing too bad.
Ike: God, what a stupid idea for a challenge.
Link: How about keeping those comments to yourself alright.
Ike then realises what he's done.
Ike: Oh. I'm sorry.
Ike walks away looking disappointed and everyone looking at him with confusion and concern.
Chris: Alright. Zelda, Link and Shulk. You've all made it to the final part of the challenge. Follow me to the next studio. I hope you three are ready to give the performance of your life.
All three look worried.
*Confessional*
Link: *Sighs* I really don't like it when he says stuff like that.
Shulk: The performance of our lives? I wonder what he mean by that.
Zelda: It doesn't matter what the final part is. I always give the performance of a life time.
*End of Confessional*
They follow Chris to a studio that empty.
Mario: Um... this studio is empty.
Chris: Give it a minute.
We then see rain starting to fall from the ceiling.
Link: Wait. Is this rain?
Chris: Yep. This studio specialises with creating any weather scenario that is needed. Being controlled by our very own Chef in the control panel above us. This is the stage for the final part of the challenge, the face-off.
Ganondorf: What's that?
Chris: I'll explain. In a lot of animes, there's sometimes a face-off between two boy who are fighting each other to see who will end up with the girl, but then girl uses an amazing speech to break it up and make them both friends again. Shulk and Link will be the two guys who are about to fight, while Zelda will run into the scene and will break them up with her speech. The winner will be whoever I deemed to be the best actor and got their character across the best. Also, to make this challenge harder, you'll be in the pouring rain and all your lines will be made up. So get into your positions.
*Confessional*
Zelda: I already know that I'm a better actor than those two. But I better make sure that I win this. I guess it's time for me to bring out the big guns.
*End of Confessional*
Link and Shulk stand opposite each other, while Zelda is off to the side waiting to run in.
Chris: Alright, actors ready?
Shulk and Link: Ready!
Chris: Zelda, I'll let you know when to run in. And... action!
The rain starts to pour down as Link and Shulk look at each other in anger.
Shulk: We don't have to do this Link. We can just talk this out.
Link: Talk? We could of talked all those years ago. But instead, you decide to go behind my back and kiss Zelda, even after you promised not to.
Shulk: She kissed me. Though it is true that I love her, I would never do anything to ruin your chances with her.
Link: Shut up! You don't get to speak!
Shulk: Look, I know how you feel.
Link: You know nothing! You don't know what it's like to have both your heart and your trust broken at the same time.
Shulk: Link...
Link: But maybe... breaking your face will be a fair trade.
Shulk: I don't want to fight you!
Link: Well it looks like you have no choice.
Link runs over and grabs Shulk by his collar and goes punch in.
Chris: Alright Zelda, you're up.
Zelda runs into the scene.
Zelda: Link stop it!
Link: This doesn't concern you Zelda.
Zelda: Yes it does. But... if you're the kind of person who can devote yourself like that to someone like me, then I'll bet you anything that there's someone out there who'll fall in love with you. Just like I did with Shulk.
Link then let's go of Shulk. The rain stops
Chris: *With tears in his eyes* And cut. That... was beautiful.
Everyone applauds them.
Chris: But, I have made up my mind. The winner and best actor was... Zelda. For that amazing speech that she gave. Which means she can't get voted off. I'll see you all later tonight at the award ceremony.
Everyone walks always.
Lucina: Sorry you lost guys.
Link: It's alright. There's always next time.
Fox: You guys were awesome though.
Samus: Yeah, your acting was amazing.
Lucina: It really felt like I was watching an anime.
Shulk: Thanks guys. But, what will we do now that Zelda can't be voted off.
Samus: Hmm, good question.
Meanwhile, Zelda, Dark Pit and Ganondorf are walking together.
Dark Pit: That was a pretty good speech you made.
Zelda: Thanks. But it's not mine.
Ganondorf: What do you mean?
Zelda: I stole the speech from the anime Nisekoi. But it looks like everyone was too stupid to realise.
Link overhears and looks at Zelda with suspicion and anger. It turns into night time and the awards ceremony starts. The contestants vote.
Chris: Contestants, I have the result. Remember, whoever is voted off will need to hitch a ride in the Lameousine and leave the competition. Forever. And the wards go to... Zelda, Link, Shulk, Fox, Samus, Lucina, Ganondorf, Mario and the last award goes to ... Dark Pit. Ike, it's time to leave my dude.
Link: Wait. I overheard Zelda talking to Ganon and Dar Pit and admitting that she stole her speech from an anime.
Everyone gasps in shock.
Lucina: So she should be disqualified then. Right?
Chris: She would. But I never said she couldn't use an anime speech that she put her own twist on. So it's nit against the rules. So I'm sorry Ike, but you are the one leaving us.
Ike: Yeah. I deserve to be voted off. I'm sorry everyone. I don't know what happened, but I let my emotions get the best of me.
Link: It's okay man. Just remember that we all have different opinions.
Fox: Just don't walk around thinking you're opinion is right. Okay?
Ike: Yeah, you're right. Again, I'm really sorry to you all. Good luck to you all.
Ike gets into the Lameousine and it leaves.
Chris: The rest of you are safe for now. No go and get some shut eye.
They all leave and get to the trailers.
Samus: You won't always get away with cheating. You'll get caught soon.
Zelda: Maybe. But I would have to be as stupid as you lot to get caught. Goodnight.
She goes into the girls' trailer.
Link: It's okay. We'll get her voted off soon.
Everyone goes into their trailers.
Chris: Drama revolving around Zelda, I'm not surprised. But, will she be able to win another challenge? Is there anyone that can stop her? And what will be the theme of the next challenge? Find out next time, on Total... Smash... Action!
