Last Experiment Standing Episode 25: Trust Me, I Can't Do This
written by DJhero523 (I'M BACK! Did you miss me?)
Last time on a seriously dramatic episode of Last Experiment Standing:
The top eight experiments were met with what appeared to be an easy challenge: to break out of their own cabin, then face a huge and possibly deadly obstacle course. New experiment Hocker also joined the game to spice the show up a little bit. But they soon found out that it would be harder than they thought when Total Drama competitor Blaineley explained her devious plans to gain the million dollars she and her accomplices never won, even going to the point of almost killing everyone! Oh, she will SO never be let on Total Drama AGAIN for that! In the end, Bonnie and Clyde were eliminated, but Angel gained the Plasma EXperimentZ' trust by explaining it was Blaineley and her sidekicks who were really behind the votes! What surprising secrets will we find out this time? Let's find out right now on LAST! EXPERIMENT! STANDING!
We open to the six remaining experiments discussing the events from the previous challenge.
"So what was up with Blaineley last time?" asked Richter.
"I don't know man, but I got a feeling the game's gonna get a LOT more dangerous with her around," said Melty.
"So what exactly were these guys' plans, Angel?" Felix asked.
"I really shouldn't tell you guys," the pink experiment replied. "If they found out I was telling you about their plans, they would kill me! Literally KILL me!"
"How do you expect us to trust you then?" Hocker asked, crossing his arms.
"What do you mean?"
"You know everything about this group, and you can't even share it with us. How do we know you're just pretending to be on our side now? How do we know you're just going to use that information against us?"
"I promise, I'm not aligned with them anymore. You need to trust me."
Suddenly, Chris's voice came over the loudspeaker. "Attention campers! Meet me outside in ten minutes for the next challenge! It's gonna be good! TRUST me!" He said, putting emphasis on the word "trust".
["Something tells me Chris was listening to our conversation," Thresher said.]
When the experiments arrived outside, Chris was standing right there, eager to announce the challenge.
"Now, I've been listening to your little conversation in the cabin", he said.
"Called it," Thresher whispered.
Chris continued. "And I think you guys need a little lesson in trust. That's why today's challenge will be all about trusting your partner!"
["Really, can Chris give us ANY privacy on this show?" Felix asked. "Nope!" Chris shouted from outside the confessional.]
"Now for today's teams: Melty and Angel, Richter and Hocker, Felix and Thresher. Alright, let's go to the challenge!"
The teams followed Chris to the amphitheater, where an elaborate game show-like setup was constructed. There were three podiums, each with a button on them, and three electric chairs. There was also a giant scoreboard showing the points for each team.
"Okay, here are the rules. Today's challenge will be a trivia challenge with ten questions about this show so far. One member from each team will answer the questions, and one member will sit in one of the electric chairs. Your role in the challenge is permanent, so no switching places! The player in the electric chair has to trust that their partner will answer the questions correctly, because if they don't, they will be shocked! PAINFULLY!"
["What is this, like the fifth time we've ran the risk of being electrocuted on this show?" Angel complained. "Chris really likes shocking things, doesn't he."]
"I think I'll answer the questions," Angel offered. "I pretty much know more about this show than anybody else here."
"Okay, so I'll be in the electric chair," said Melty. "I think I can take the pain."
"Let's hope so."
Felix and Thresher's decision was probably the fastest one.
"I should definitely answer the questions," Felix explained. "I've been here since the beginning. You came in when the teams merged."
"Oi, that sound about right," said Thresher.
Meanwhile, Richter and Hocker had the toughest time figuring out who would do what.
"I should answer the questions!" Richter argued. "You literally just came onto the show yesterday!"
"Well the Big Four and I watched it from the beginning! I know everything about the bloody show!"
"Yeah, well-you know what, let's just have a coin toss. If I win, I answer the questions, and if you win, you answer the questions."
"Fine."
"What do you call?"
"Tails."
Richter tossed the coin and flipped it over onto his hand.
"Tails!" Hocker exclaimed. "Ha! I answer the questions! Take that!"
With the experiments in their positions, Chris was ready to start the challenge.
"Alright campers! Here is the first question! Who was the seventh person to be eliminated from this show?"
The players immediately reached for their buttons, but Hocker got there first.
"Slushy!" he quickly answered.
"No you idiot!" Richter yelled, before screaming out in pain from the electricity flowing through his body.
Hocker laughed at him, teasingly.
"Incorrect!" Chris exclaimed.
Angel pressed her button immediately after. "Yin!"
"Correct! And that's one point for team Mangel!"
"Mangel?" Melty asked. "Seriously?"
"Just roll with it." Chris moved on. "Second question! What was the title of the tenth episode of the season?"
Again, Hocker answered first. "Richter Is a Loser!"
"What?!" Richter exclaimed before being electrocuted once again. "Cut it out!"
Felix pushed his button. "Humiliation à la Relay!"
"That is correct!" Chris proclaimed. "One point for team Fresher!"
"Okay, now this is getting bloody ridiculous," said Thresher.
Chris interrupted. "Third question! Which team won the challenge in the seventh episode?"
"Team Victory!" Hocker shouted.
"Can you please stop doing-aahh!" Richter said as he was electrocuted again. "That's a team from TOTAL DRAMA WORLD TOUR! Seriously!"
["If he does not go home tonight, something is wrong with the world!" Richter complained.]
After three more questions, teams Mangel and Fresher were tied with three points, but team Rocker still had no points whatsoever. After being electrocuted six times, he had had enough. Richter used his immense strength to break the straps attaching him to the electric chair and confronted Chris.
"Chris, I volunteer to switch out!"
"Nope! No switching places during this challenge!" Chris said, preparing to ask the next question.
Richter ran to Chris and started begging on his knees.
"Please Chris, I've been electrocuted six times in a row because of that green acid-spitting d*****bag. Let me switch with him"
"Sorry, nothing I can do about it!"
"Please! I'm BEGGING YOU!"
Chris thought about it for a moment. "Alright, fine. But no one else can switch!"
"Thank you so much Chris!"
Richter shoved Hocker into the electric chair and strapped him in.
"Aw, what?! He gets to switch but we can't?!" said Melty, angrily.
"This is so unfair!" said Felix.
"Hey! No complaining or you're disqualified, got it?" Chris said, annoyed.
"Yes," all of the experiments said.
"It's time for me to fix this," Richter said to himself.
Throughout the next three questions, team Rocker made an astonishing comeback, even though Richter was probably the slowest one to the button, the other teams repeatedly got the answers wrong and Richter answered them correctly.
The game was tied with each team having three points. Whichever team got the next question right had guaranteed spots in the final five.
"This final question will decide the challenge!" Chris announced. "Here it is: who was the first experiment to step onto the island?"
The experiments were stumped. The first episode had happened a few months ago. They didn't know how they were supposed to remember that.
"Come on Richter! You know this question!" Hocker encouraged.
Suddenly, Richter had a flashback:
"Alright, the experiments are starting to arrive. Let's see what they're like after years of living in Hawaii. Richter! What's up man! You're the first one here!" Chris exclaimed as Richter arrived.
"Hey Chris!" Richter shouted, trying hard not to accidentally cause an earthquake in excitement. "I'm so ready for this! Get ready for a 9.5 on the Richter scale! Haha, get it!"
Richter gasped. "It's me," he whispered to himself. He rushed to push the button, but Angel got there just a fraction of a second before Richter could get there. Richter facepalmed.
"It's Richter!" Angel proudly answered.
"That is correct!" Chris shouted. "And we have our winners! Angel and Melty have immunity!"
"Yeah!" Melty and Angel exclaimed, high-fiving.
At the elimination ceremony, tensions were high as the experiments were about to figure out who would make it to the final five.
"Alright everyone. There are five marshmallows on this plate," Chris said. "These marshmallows represent spots in the final five. Two of them go to Melty and Angel."
Chris tossed the marshmallows to the pair, who happily caught them.
"As for Richter, Felix, and Hocker, two of you are tied with one vote apiece, and one of you has four votes."
The screen split into three sections, each occupied by Richter, Felix, and Hocker's faces.
"The first marshmallow goes to...Felix!"
Felix caught his marshmallow, and his face disappeared from the screen, leaving only Richter and Hocker.
"The final marshmallow goes to...Hocker!"
"WHAT?!" exclaimed Richter. "But...but how?"
"That was a total d**k move begging on your knees to switch out when Chris SPECIFICALLY said you couldn't," Angel said, annoyed.
"Yeah, no offense, but that was really pathetic," said Melty.
"Time to go Richter!" said Chris.
"Well, bye guys," Richter said, shamefully. "Guess I'll see you-"
"WAIT!" Hocker interrupted. "Don't send him home! Send me home instead!"
The experiments gasped.
"That whole stunt with Richter getting shocked and me laughing at him, that was a bloody stupid thing for me to do. Richter, I'm sorry. You shouldn't have to go home because of me."
Hocker turned to face Chris. "It should be me who goes home, not Richter!"
"Wow man, that's really nice of you," Richter said sincerely.
"Don't mention it mate."
"Well, if you insist on being eliminated..." Chris said as the Boat of Losers arrived.
"See you guys later!" Hocker said as he left the island.
["I'm shocked that Hocker would be that nice," said Richter. "I owe my spot in the final five to him. If you're watching this Hocker, thanks a lot man. I don't know how I could ever repay you for making that sacrifice."]
"A sacrifice has been made, and the final five has been decided!" Chris announced enthusiastically. "We have a special surprise planned for next time! What is it, you may ask? You'll have to find out next time on LAST! EXPERIMENT! STANDING! McLean out!"
