AN: Hello readers, and welcome back to TARP2! It's been a while since I've last updated, but thank you for being very patient. Please enjoy this leg of the race.
Warning: Some parts of this eight-chapter leg are filler-ish.
Previously on The Amazing Race Pokémon...
Ten teams raced from Wylds to MegaMansion, and continued the race with a zero-hour break to the top of MegaMansion.
Ben & Romana made a risky move.
"Let's go!" Romana told Ben softly.
The two left the area for the fast forward.
Which led them to the back of the back.
"BEN!" Romana screamed. "WE'VE LOST! THIS IS ALL YOUR FAULT!"
Ryder said, "Ben & Romana, you are the last team to arrive, but you must waste no time as you are still racing."
The race continued to the upper levels of MegaMansion.
A long roadblock made most team members panic.
"We're gonna die! WE'RE GONNA DIE!" panicked Lea.
"That was not funny," reacted Natt after the sudden realization.
"Meowkz! I almost died!" said Maverick.
"That dangerous trick scared the Giratina out of me," said Napoleon.
Which convinced Mollie & Maverick to use their express pass.
Mollie said to the camera, "We're using our express pass."
"Right here, right now," added Maverick to the camera.
Clairene struggled at the sky trapeze.
Clairene started dropping a few tears. Harv hugged her.
While Mollie couldn't take the fearing pressure.
Mollie was shown crying out of fear.
With excellent skills, Lea & Glace won their second leg in a row.
Ryder said, "Lea & Glace... I have good news for you."
"Team number one," muttered Lea.
"You are team number one!" said Ryder.
"AAAHHH!" screeched both twins in unison.
The triple U-turn near the end of the leg made a few tables turn.
"I want first!" said Natt. "We're U-turning the team behind us."
Carol said, "This would not have happened if you had not eaten our first pancake."
"I don't wanna go back to that scary place!" cried Mollie.
Which in the end finished Mollie & Maverick's race journey.
"And I am really sorry to tell you... that you have been eliminated from the race," said Ryder.
Nine teams remain, who will be eliminated... next?
…
This... is MegaMansion. It is a huge mansion home to the Zojan family, a family of mystical diamonds. The mansion is so big that one would consider himself or herself an action figure in the mansion. The mansion was built after Astra and Zon's wedding. It was built out of magic. Fantasy this may sound, but the diamond beings have magical powers. The couple occupies the attic as their bedroom today, and on this long and huge table... is a mini observatory, used for astronomical purposes. Right outside this observatory... is the start of the sixth leg... in a race around worlds. Teams arrived here at the end of the last leg for a mandatory rest period. The pit stop break between legs five and six was thirty-six hours long. The ten teams, including Mollie & Maverick, got to enjoy their stay in the mansion within the thirty-six-hour break. Will Lea & Glace continue their winning streak and become the strongest team in the game? And will Harl & Natt finally get a leg on their belt? Lea & Glace, who arrived first at 5:57 PM... will depart first at 5:57 AM.
Lea & Glace; 1st to depart = 5:57 AM
Glace said, "Let's win this leg."
"They say three time's a charm," continued Lea.
Glace ripped open the clue envelope and read the clue.
Glace said, "Make your way by... HOLY GLASS! WE'RE GOING TO OUTER SPACE!"
"WHAT!? NO WAY!" reacted Lea. "
"Teams must now make their way by flying saucer to the Great Cave Offensive found in the Nintendo Galaxy. Once at the entrance, they will find their next clue." (Great Cave Offensive is a location in Kirby Super Star / Kirby Super Star Ultra.)
"You have zero money for this leg of the race," read Glace.
"We barely needed the money lately, and we saved a lot anyway," said Lea.
"You get an extra yield or U-turn power for the race."
"Alright! Although we have never used our first one."
"So... let's go!"
The two excitedly ran to the other end of the tabletop. Right there were ten flying saucers good for all the teams' sizes. At the very end of the table was a small window, open for the teams to drive themselves out of this world.
"Alright!" said Lea.
"Wait," said Glace. "We should look for a map. We don't want us ending like how Mark & Steve from the last season ended."
"Hmmm... good point," said Lea.
The two went to a non-mega-sized internet café found in the space bedroom. The internet café is on top of another table.
-AZ Web Café-
The place has a few blue lights. Other lights come from the computers' screens.
"Let's print out the space map once we find it," said Glace.
While Lea was standing behind her sister, Lea sat on the chair searching the web for a decent space map with the route from the Yolkvortian Galaxy to the Nintendo Galaxy. The Yolkvortian Galaxy is called so because Thera is revolving around a star called Yolkvort.
"How about this one," asked Lea to Glace. "It says... we go look for the ice planet, and then we enter a wormhole near the planet.
"When was the map made? We might be sent away to the opposite direction," said Glace.
"It says here six days ago," said Lea. "That can't be too long ago."
"Okay, let's print it out and pay everything so that we can leave," said Glace.
-Observatory-
Carol & Giselle; 2nd to depart = 6:35 AM
"OUTER SPACE!" exclaimed Carol.
"Outer space! Outer SPACE! OUTER SPACE!" exclaimed Giselle. "Yeehaw! Finally!"
"We shouldn't worry about using up our U-turn power last leg."
"Why?"
"Because we got another one! A brand new one!"
"Awesome! Now we can give some payback as soon as we get to a U-turn... or yield without the help of our allies."
"We can still let them help us though."
"I'm gonna drive the flying saucer!"
"Sure, I can enjoy the starry view."
Lilly & Kelly; 3rd to depart = 6:36 AM
Kelly was shown ripping open the clue envelope.
"The two revealed too much spoiler for us in one minute," complained Lilly, talking about the team who was right ahead of them.
Pre-leg confessional:
"The race is already getting difficult for two different kinds of non-elimination legs in a row," said Lilly. "The tasks are getting a bit harder too."
"We won the third leg with some luck," said Kelly. "We got on the first raft ride unlike everyone else besides Ben & Romana."
"We consider ourselves strong, for having won a leg and being in the top three twice out of five legs."
"Ironically, we messed up on the place where we could have an advantage."
"Oh! I forgot to mention about our starting line success."
Harl & Natt; 4th to depart = 6:37 AM
"Oh yeah!" said Harl as he read the clue. "Make your way by FLYING SAUCER!"
"Aw yeah it is!" said Natt as he and Harl hi-fived.
"We can do well this leg."
"And I really really really want to win!"
Pre-leg confessional:
"We have lost first place five times," said Harl guiltily. "And I contributed to most of those loses."
Natt said, "We've fallen down five times, and we can get up on our sixth. We want to win a leg soon."
Carol & Giselle: Comrades
During this time, the sky's color is turning from dark blue to light blue.
"Look Giselle, it's... the sun!" said Carol.
"I can't see the sun," said Giselle bluntly. "I only see daylight."
Lilly & Kelly: Housemaids
"We're coming right at ya, Girafarig!" said Kelly.
The two teams were seen entering two different flying saucers.
Carol & Giselle: Comrades
Carol took the manual and gave it to Giselle. Giselle threw the manual aside.
"What the heck!?" said Carol. "Gis, do you want us to end up on the..."
"We won't!" said Giselle. "Trust me."
"Oh my, the more you say that, the more I don't trust you."
"Trust me, just... trust me."
"Please stop."
"Oh come on! Trust me that I can do it without failure. Trust me that I won't get us lost. Trust me that..."
"Okay that's enough now. Just read the frickin' manual and let's go."
"Hah! Manuals are only for sissies."
Lilly & Kelly: Housemaids
Both team members were shown reading the manual.
"Kel, I'm gonna get us a map," said Lilly.
"We don't need that now," said Kelly. "We can just follow them."
"What if they get lost?"
"I don't think so. With Giselle's overconfidence, I trust her getting us there."
"I honestly don't wanna make a mistake here, but I'm trusting you."
Harl & Natt: Best Buddies
The two arrived when they saw one flying saucer moving.
"Now that's AWESOME!" said Harl.
Natt said, "We better hurry if we want first today."
Lilly & Kelly: Housemaids
"What?" said Kelly in a tone.
"Yeah right, they're leaving," said Lilly.
Carol & Giselle: Comrades
Carol said, "Do you even know how to handle this!?"
"Of course!" said Giselle. "I practiced handling this days before we started racing."
"How sure are you it's the same type of flying saucer?"
"Volans Patella 4750. It's the same model I practiced on."
"So I guess that means you were really prepared for a space leg eh?"
"Of course! I am very excited for the space leg to come."
Giselle made the flying saucer they were on leave the area.
Harl & Natt: Best Buddies
The two read the manual.
"I should find a map for us," suggested Harl.
"I was gonna do that a while ago, but there's no one suspicious around," said Natt.
"Oh."
"If it was gonna be like last season with the lumas, it might be easier for us to get a map."
"Yeah."
Lilly & Kelly: Housemaids
Kelly finally understood how the flying saucer works.
"I got it," said Kelly.
"Go ahead then," said Lilly.
Harl & Natt: Best Buddies
"It's this big glowing ball here," said Harl.
"What else?" said Natt.
So the two teams there studied their vehicles. Kelly and Harl volunteered to handle their respective team's flying saucers.
Lilly & Kelly: Housemaids
"We should find us a map first," said Lilly.
"When we find a decent one," said Kelly.
"Kel, hello? If we get lost, we'll end up like how most teams ended up in the previous season."
"They just have bad senses of direction."
"No, Kel. That map is important no matter what."
"Fine, where should we stop?"
Harl & Natt: Best Buddies
"Out, out, and away!" said Harl.
"This time," said Natt. "The sky is no longer the limit."
-Observatory-
Nick & Lester; 5th to depart = 7:02 AM
Nick read, "You get an extra yield or U-turn power for the race."
Iris & Napoleon; 6th to depart = 7:03 AM
"You have zero money for this leg of the race," read Iris.
Ben & Romana; 7th to depart = 7:04 AM
"... Where you will find your next clue," read Romana.
While the three teams were reading the manuals inside their chosen flying saucers, Lea & Glace arrived.
Lea & Glace: Twin Athletes
"So three teams left MegaMansion, eh?" said Lea.
"Doesn't matter, because I think they'll get lost anyway," Glace said.
The twins went inside a vacant flying saucer. They read the manual together. The other teams noticed their surprising appearance.
Ben & Romana: Models
"Weren't they the first to depart?" asked Ben.
Iris & Napoleon: Engaged Literati
"I completely did not see that coming!" said Napoleon.
Nick & Lester: Band Mates
Lester reacted, "How could they fall behind like that!?"
Lester stared at the window for a while. He then realized that his race partner has already disappeared.
"Dang it Nick!" said Lester.
Lester left his team's saucer to look for his partner.
Lea & Glace: Twin Athletes
TOK TOK TOK!
"Looks like we have some visitors," said Glace.
Glace opened the door to see Nick.
"Hi!" said Nick.
"You again?" said Glace.
"Chill dudette! Anything wrong happening?" said Nick.
Lea said, "Hi Nick!"
"Hey there, Lea!" said Nick.
Glace was making a face showing that she's annoyed. Lester then appeared behind Nick. Glace saw the former and the two shook their heads in dissatisfaction while looking at each other.
Nick said, "I just wanna ask if you girls know where to get a map."
"We got ours at the computer station," said Lea.
"So that explains why you girls just arrived," said Lester.
Nick turned around to see Lester.
"Whoa!" said Nick.
"Yeah, whoa!" mocked Lester. "Your disappearance is becoming very predictable."
"Why not just follow us?" said Lea.
"Alright!" said Nick.
"Let's read the manual together," suggested Lea to Nick.
"No!" exclaimed both Glace and Lester without any hesitation.
"What?" said Nick.
"Let's just wait for each other outside the window," said Lester.
"Okay," said Glace.
Nick & Lester went back to their flying saucer.
Iris & Napoleon: Engaged Literati
"It looks like they have the map," said Napoleon.
"Let's follow them," said Iris.
"Okay, but we have to wait," ended Napoleon.
Ben & Romana: Models
"Those four are up to something," said Romana.
"I think it's about the map," said Ben. "They might have one. We should follow them."
Fast forwarding with the events, Lea, Glace, Lester, and Nick learned how to operate the flying saucer.
Lea & Glace: Twin Athletes
"It's time to get out of this world," said Glace as she makes the flying saucer hover.
"Goodbye Thera, Goodbye MegaMansion!" said Lea. "We will surely miss you!"
Nick & Lester: Band Mates
"They're moving! They're moving!" said Nick.
Lester made the saucer hover.
Ben & Romana: Models
"It's time!" said Romana as she watched the other two saucers move.
Ben made the saucer hover.
Iris & Napoleon: Engaged Literati
Napoleon made their saucer hover.
"Magnificent handling!" said Napoleon.
Iris said, "It's time to travel out to the unknown!"
Lea & Glace: Twin Athletes
As Glace managed the flying saucer, she noticed Nick & Lester and the other two teams following them.
"This is what I don't like," said Glace.
"Why?" asked Lea.
"They will be lucky today by following us. They will be spared from elimination this leg if they will follow us there. We can beat Nick & Lester, but you won't know what surprises the other two teams can pull. Also, they're not our allies."
"But shouldn't we be nice to other teams?"
"We should be, but there's a right time for that. This is not the right time however."
"So how do we get rid of them?"
"We'll stop at a station and leave them behind or something."
"We'll see."
-Outer Space-
The four flying saucers have left Thera and reached outer space. Glace went to the ice planet's direction.
Glace told Lea, "Let's pretend that we're running inside a cave, and then let's run out when they don't notice us."
"But how about Nick & Lester?"
"Let's call them if we REALLY have to."
"But won't the two other teams know that it's not that cave?"
"We were able to research what the outside looks like since we went inside the internet café. They on the other hand do not know."
"Oh... I like your idea, Sis!"
The two hi-fived.
Carol & Giselle: Comrades
"This is sick!" said Carol. "I don't even know where you're bringing us, Gis!"
"I'm bringing you to Great Cave Offensive, duh!?" replied Giselle.
"What!? How do you know you're bringing us there?"
"I just know!"
"What!? No!"
"What do you mean?"
"We need to get a map, or you'll screw us today."
"Nyah nyah nyah."
"Giselle! Get us a map!"
"How about no."
"Then I'm getting out of here!"
"Ha! As if you can."
Carol took the spacesuit provided on the flying saucer. She wore the spacesuit and then attempted to open the door. Giselle blocked the way before Carol could get to the door's handle.
"You'll have to get to me first!" said Giselle aggressively.
"Gis! What the heck! You don't wanna listen to me, and now..." said Carol.
"Get that thing off your..."
"How dare you..."
Giselle successfully undressed Carol from the spacesuit. The two started a brawl while their flying saucer remained stationary.
Harl & Natt: Best Buddies
Both team members were handling their spaceship.
"Lilly & Kelly went to a different direction," said Natt.
"How do you know if we're going the right way or not?" questioned Harl.
"We're not going the right way. We're wandering for a map."
"But what if we don't find one?"
"That is up to our luck now. Hopefully we have good luck."
Lilly & Kelly: Housemaids
"This is easy after all," said Kelly.
"Don't be overconfident about that," said Lilly. "We can end up with a low placement today if we don't find a map soon."
"Where should we look for a map?"
"I don't..."
"How about that?"
"What!? Do you want us to burn like hell? That planet already looks like all-lava to me."
"So what? What if there are inhabitants anyway?"
"What? Are you stupid? We might not be able to get out of that planet."
"Uh..."
"Let's look for another one a few light years away."
"Okay."
-Observatory-
Cara & Janelle; 8th to depart = 7:59 AM
"We have a short lead over Harv & Clairene," said Janelle. "But we have decided to work together instead of working by teams and getting lost,"
Cara ripped open the clue envelope.
Cara read, "Make your way by flying saucer to..."
"AHHH! AHHH! AAAHHHHH!" screamed Janelle in excitement.
Cara continued, "... To the Great Cave Offensive located in the Nintendo Universe's Pop Star. It is at the entrance of the cave where you will find your next clue."
Harv & Clairene; Last to depart = 8:00 AM
"You get an extra yield or U-turn power for the race," read Harv.
"You have zero money for this leg of the race," read Clairene.
Janelle, Clairene, and Harv looked extremely excited about it. Cara looked neutral with the news. The two teams got to the place with flying saucers.
"Let's read the manual together," suggested Cara.
"Alright!" said Janelle excitedly.
"Sure," replied Harv.
The two teams placed their bags into the flying saucers. They all went out to the tabletop to read the manual together.
-Outer Space-
Lea & Glace: Twin Athletes
"We should tell Nick & Lester about our plan, so they'll know," suggested Lea.
Glace said, "Is that necessary?"
"Yes."
"Not really in my humble opinion."
"Just stop here. I'll get the spacesuit to see them."
"Fine."
Glace reluctantly said the last word. She made the flying saucer stop.
Iris & Napoleon: Engaged Literati
"Whoa!" said Napoleon as he stopped the flying saucer from moving forward.
"Why are we stopping?" Iris questioned.
Ben & Romana: Models
Ben stopped the saucer from moving forward.
"What the hell?" complained Romana.
"They stopped," explained Ben briefly.
Nick & Lester: Band Mates
"They stopped," said Lester.
"Oh?" said Nick.
Lea & Glace: Twin Athletes
Glace reluctantly pressed the button that opens the door.
Glace said, "Go, and hurry."
Lea gave her a thumbs up, then went out of the flying saucer while wearing the spacesuit found in their hovercraft.
Iris & Napoleon: Engaged Literati
"What is Lea doing?" said Iris.
Ben & Romana: Models
"Lea went out of their spaceship," reported Ben to Romana.
Nick & Lester: Band Mates
Lester said, "Lea's coming here."
"Oh goodie!" said Nick. "It has to be something important."
Few minutes later, Lester opened the door for Lea.
"Yes Lea?" said Lester.
"We have a plan," said Lea.
"I told ya!" said Nick to Lester.
"Go on," said Lester.
Lea said, "We plan to get rid of the other two teams who are following us right now. Glace proposed that we will stop at an ice planet. We will run inside any cave in that planet, then we run out of the cave once they don't notice us."
"That's smart! I love it!" said Lester. "Thank you for sharing your plan to us!"
"See you all later!" said Lea.
"Bye Lea!" said Nick energetically.
"Bye Nick!" said Lea energetically as well.
"How about me?" said Lester in a way.
"B'bye!" replied Lea in a quick manner.
Lea left their flying saucer.
Lea & Glace: Twin Athletes
After some more minutes, Lea came back. Glace opened the door for her. Lea gave her a thumbs up.
"Alright! Let's continue," said Glace.
Glace made their saucer move first. The other three saucers nearby followed.
Carol & Giselle: Comrades
Carol attempted to punch Giselle several times. Giselle attempted to kick Carol several times too. Both of them kept dodging it continuously. No one has striked a successful move yet.
"We've trained hard," said Carol to Giselle. "But we're not putting it to good use."
Giselle brought out her toy dart from her bag.
"Hey!" said Carol.
Giselle attempted to throw darts on Carol. Carol dodged it all the way.
"So that's how you wanna play it eh?" said Carol.
"Yes!" said Giselle.
"No! Giselle, you're running out of control again."
"Who says? How do you know?"
"Cut it off, Giselle!"
"Never!"
"Then you leave me no choice!"
"YAH!"
"Ha-YAH!"
The two attempted to kick and punch each other. Not a single move successfully impacted the other. Giselle took out a toy gun out of her bag.
"Bring it on!" said Giselle.
Carol took out the water gun from her bag.
"No fair! I told you to keep all the good stuff!" said Carol.
"That's your problem, Carol," replied Giselle.
Carol tried using the water gun, but she kept missing her target. Giselle hit Carol's water gun off, so the latter took paper shurikens from her bag. She threw them to Giselle, who dodged them like a pro.
"Ha! Is that all you got?" said Giselle aggressively.
"Please stop!" said Carol.
Giselle continued firing her toy bullets to Carol, who also kept dodging them like a pro.
"None of us are gonna win if we keep doing this," said Carol.
"No way! If I win, we don't need any maps," said Giselle.
"Fine! We use maps if I win."
"Deal!"
"Yah!"
"YAH!"
The two continued their brawl.
Lilly & Kelly: Housemaids
"This is insane," said Kelly as she saw a big bright castle in the middle of nowhere.
"What!?" said Lilly, who was also surprised with the castle's presence.
"Should we go in?"
"I don't really know. We could get ourselves in danger."
"I know, but we don't have a map."
"I know! I'm trying to think of an alternative."
"So are we going in?"
"Maybe, maybe not."
"What?"
"No, I think it's dangerous."
"Okay then. I'll listen to you."
Harl & Natt: Best Buddies
"Should we stop at that planet?" asked Harl to Natt as they both saw a sandy purple planet.
"It looks like a dangerous planet, but I can't judge a planet from its looks right away," said Natt.
"So should we go?"
"I'm gonna say yes, but I honestly do not know."
"I'm flipping a coin for this decision."
"Sounds like a better idea."
Harl flipped a coin and it landed on tails.
"We're not going in there," said Harl.
"Okay then," said Natt.
-MegaMansion-
Cara & Janelle: Best Friends
Harv & Clairene: Dating
The two teams learned how to operate flying saucers. Clairene and Cara volunteered to operate their teams' flying saucers.
"Where should we go get a map?" asked Harv.
"Let's ask them," said Clairene.
Harv & Clairene went down from their saucer and knocked at the other team's flying saucer.
"Yes?" said Cara after opening the door.
"Where should we get a map?" asked Harv.
"That's a pretty good question," said Janelle.
"I suggest we go to another part of this planet and get one," said Cara. "The problem is I don't know which part of this planet has that map."
"That sure sounds like a serious problem," said Janelle.
"So what should we do?" asked Harv.
"I think we'll just search for the map on our own," said Cara. "You two can stay above the planet, then let's meet up once we have the map."
"Okay," replied the two kids.
The two teams went out of MegaMansion and up to outer space. Harv & Clairene decided to stay near the planet, while Cara & Janelle searched for a place that could have a map.
Post-leg confessional:
Cara & Janelle
Cara said, "I almost forgot that we needed a map to go there. If those kids weren't with us, we'd probably be dead lost."
