BaconBaka's Bites: So sorry about the long wait! I been so busy for quite a while, and this got put on the backburner. But nevertheless, this chapter is complete, and before my birthday in a few days!
Also, a birthday shoutout to my good buddy Shu-No Kurohi on dA!
Let's get this chapter underway!
Of Glitz and Glory...
Bob, having landed on shore, hopped out of the canoe, and with an oar in hand, started to find Selena's footprints in the sand.
"I don't know why you would want to head here of all places, when there was several caves back on Wawanakwa…" Bob noted to himself.
He then noticed something covered in the fog… He carefully walked over to it, keeping the oar close to his body just in case.
It appeared to be part of a human body… Scattered all around it appeared to be several more body parts, but oddly enough, no blood. Bob gulped, as he took a closer look at it.
"Judging by the shape of it..." Bob said to himself, as he got a closer peek at it. "It appears to be a..."
…
…
"...Decapitated butt."
He then winced, as he then tried to squeeze it, but noticed something was off. He then lifted it up, and saw something that was a true surprise to him.
"A robotic decapitated butt..." Bob noted. "I don't think Omelette would even approve of fake butts."
Grrrroooowwwwllll…
A low growl interrupted the silence, as Bob looked all around him, in the thick fog.
"Okay, I am not sure that sounds like any animal I know. Keep at your task… Find Selena, and GTFO off this isle." Bob said to himself, as he noticed a shadow deep in the fog… "EEP!"
He jumped, and narrowly avoided something emerging from the ground nearby him. He looked at his predator, and was taken back at what he saw.
It appeared to be a rather large ant, leering down at the small kid.
"Okay, Chris… What the heck is on this island?" Bob asked himself, backing away from the large insect.
"GRRRRROOOOWWWWLLLL!" The huge ant growled out loud, almost like a bear. Bob quickly backed away.
"Chris? I dunno what you do in your spare time, but count me out!" Bob yelled out loud, as he ran into the forest, and deeper into the fog, away from the giant insect…
Now in Boney Island's forest, he was wondering around, keeping his oar close-by, in case anything else strange lunged out at him.
"Okay, Bob… Just remember this; you're here to save Selena." Bob said to himself, as he ducked to avoid a swarm of locusts, carrying the remains of what appeared to be the leftovers of a deer. When the coast was clear, he took out what appeared to be a tablet, but he groaned at the results, as he pocketed it. "Damn, no signal! Figures with a deserted haunted island..."
Surveying his surroundings, he continued on, looking down at the ground, hoping to find Selena's tracks.
"Selena… Where are you?" Bob questioned to himself. "This isn't like you… Remember? You're brave, and bold! You don't take any crap from anyone!"
He looked up, and noticed what appeared to be a tiki head embedded in the ground. It gave off a hint of uneasiness for the 11 year old.
"Do I wanna know what kinda civilization used to live here, given the local wildlife?" Bob asked, as he continued to walk into the thick forest, and bypassing any creatures that were all around. They paid him no mind, as they were pre-occupied with something else.
He continued to walk, as he noticed the same tiki head. Taking a look around, he took out what appeared to be a piece of candy, and laid it on the ground nearby, and continued to walk, muttering to himself if there were any tribes on the isle, they would like candy.
He walked, as he noticed the tiki head… And the same piece of candy that he laid on the ground.
"Man, this is strange; it feels like I been walking in circles!" Bob said to himself, as he pocketed the candy. "It's this fog… I can't seem to find my way through this thick crap..."
'GRRROOOWWLL…'
Bob turned around, and noticed an ant, about the size of a small toy approaching him. Without warning, it lunged at Bob, as he took a swing at the ant, sending it straight into a tree branch, impaling it, and seemingly killing it.
"Ay… I don't think even Xander could exterminate that colony..." Bob muttered, as he looked around. "This is that sign that I should find Selena and get off of this strange rock."
He ran even deeper into the woods, as the ant impaled on the tree branch wasn't quite dead. Managing to get free from the branch, it scuttled off in another direction, bleeding along the way.
At the same time Bob arrived at Boney Island…
"And we're back!" Chris announced out loud. "If you're just joining us, we… all ended up being embarrassed on international TV."
"Not all of us; Vikki here got off scot-free." Omelette corrected.
"Besides, what kinda secret photos would I even hide?" Vikki questioned back. "Well, besides my natural hair color, and that was before my official adoption?"
Confessional: Hairy…
Vikki: Spoilers; it's a chestnut brown.
"Nevertheless, we're upping our security measures to make sure this doesn't happen again." Chris reassured, as he looked over at the interns. "Dana! How's it coming along?"
At the pods, Dana was feverishly typing on a keyboard, while trying to find out how Francis managed to sneak in.
"Security is being tightened more than trying to enter Kanto in a future Pokemon game! Seriously, I don't quite understand. How did he even get his hands on those photos?" Dana asked out loud. "All of that stuff's private property!"
"I be more concerned about all of us changing our passwords after the challenge." Allie inquired. "If he can hack his way into challenges, what's to say he can toy with us, and ruin our rep?"
"Yeah, when you're right, you're right." Dana nodded back. "Besides, what if he decides to target my friend at home? I do NOT want that to happen, not by a long shot."
Confessional: Bullseye! ...Wait, wrong time?
Dana: Here's hoping you changed your password, buddy…
"In either case, it's time for our next battle!" Chris announced, as he pressed a button. On-screen, the camper's faces flashed by really fast, as it eventually stopped on… "And our next fighters are going to be Omelette VS. Whitney!"
Omelette sported a grin, as she looked over at Whitney. "Here's hoping I don't whip your butt too hard."
Whitney grinned back. "Same here, buddy. I need to kick some buns after what Francis pulled."
They gave off a nod, as they entered their pods, and went into the virtual world…
In the rather beat up locker room, Whitney pressed a button on the terminal, all while she was eating a hot dog. Soon enough, Dana appeared on-screen, as she raised an eyebrow.
"Whitney… Are you eating a hot dog?" Dana asked out loud.
"You bet I am! I even ordered mine with bacon, as well! Shame they didn't have the ones with eggs inside it." Whitney answered back with glee as she finished off her hot dog, as she looked over at Dana. "So, what kinda objective I gotta do for this?"
"Pretty simple; just win before you acquire 5 hit points of damage." Dana answered back. "But before the fight, I gotta ask… How did you even get your mitts on that hot dog? I thought I only programmed in the pit itself!"
"I guess someone on the TD crew wanted for us to have the full experience." Whitney shrugged. "Okay, Dana. This curly-haired gal is ready to bust a head… Non-lethally."
Dana could only giggle, as she shut off the terminal from her end, as Whitney waited for security to escort her to the ring.
At another locker room, Omelette turned on her room's terminal, as Allie appeared on the other end.
"Sup, Allie?" Omelette asked out loud. "Have you checked out all of the virtual butts on these guys?! They're great!"
Allie was taken back by that comment. "Er… How did you find the butts on these guys?"
"Eh, this VR isn't censored by American standards. I'm surprised the censors didn't step in after the Hunger Games challenge for its graphic depictions of violence." Omelette shrugged.
"In either case, your objective for your end of the fight?" Allie questioned, as she looked at the objective list, and giggled a bit. "You… Gotta win without your butt taking damage."
Omelette sighed. "You really suck the joy outta someone sometimes, ya know?"
"Hey, someone's gotta play the responsible one. Blame Jas after she kicked a bully in the crotch." Allie replied back.
"Who the heck's Jas?" Omelette asked. "And why do I think I would know her in an alternate world?"
"Either case, just wait for security to come get you." Allie instructed, as the terminal turned off, and Omelette did some slight thinking.
"That name Jas is rather unique..." Omelette said herself.
The packed arena was roaring with spectators, as Dirk was in the center of the ring, holding his microphone.
"Glad you're still with us, fight fans! Now, onwards to the second fight of the evening!" Dirk announced out loud, as he paid attention to one of the entrances to the arenas…
Whitney was standing at the entrance, with the audience appalling. as her chosen music played. It appeared to sound kinda playful and goofy. (Hau's Battle Theme from Pokemon Sun and Moon)
"She's the curly-haired bandaged babe, with a tomboyish personality to boot, and an awesome boyfriend as well… Give it all up for… Whitney!" Dirk announced. "Though this isn't her theme music..."
"Hey, cut me a break; that copy of Fuwa Fuwa Time got region blocked right after Maxwell found it for me! I had to go for a last minute replacement." Whitney explained out loud, as she stepped into the arena. "I'm starting to think there's spies among us."
"Eh, I got nothing to hide, mi love." Dirk replied back, as he looked at the separate entrance. "And now, her opponent..."
Omelette grinned, as she looked at the virtual audience. There seemed to be duplicate audience members, cheering on the fighters. Her theme song was currently playing; it appeared to be a rather cheerful song. (Like The Dragon from Persona 4 Arena)
"And Whitney's opponent is the photophobic bisexual beauty! The butt grader of Wawanakwa! Give it all up for… Omelette!" Dirk announced out loud.
Omelette waved to the audience, as she hopped onto the arena floor.
"And greetings to all of the multiple Eleanors out there!" Omelette cheered out loud.
Whitney was confused at what Omelette just said out loud. "How many Eleanors even watch this show?" She questioned.
"Get yourselves ready to… RUMBLE!" Dirk ordered, as a gong rang out, and he floated away from the action.
Whitney got into a battle pose, as Omelette reached behind her back, and pulled out what appeared to be a book. It was labeled 'Total Drama Fan Characters' on its cover.
"Omelette, where did you find that book?" Whitney asked.
"Got it for free at that hot dog stand. Besides, gotta go through the entire Paper Mario experience." Omelette explained, as she flipped through some pages. "Okay, let's see what this book says about you, Whitney. Hmm… Walter… Wallace… Ah! Here we go! Apparently, you have 75 HP, 5 Attack, and 1 Defense. It also says here that you like watching Emergency Alert System alarms on the Internet… Aren't those kinda PG-13 levels of scary?"
"Hey, sometimes you get bored, and..." Whitney excused herself, as she had to think of something. "Look, someone in the audience is about to display their butt!"
Omelette turned around and eyed the audience, hoping to find that person. "Ooh, where, where?"
Little did Omelette realize, that Whitney managed to use one of her wrist bandages to secure a t-shirt cannon, and started to aim where Omelette was looking…
"Hey! There's no butt on display, here! Bad, Whitney, bad!" Omelette scolded back, as she noticed Whitney holding onto the t-shirt cannon. "Whoa, hold on; ain't no reason to go all COD on me!"
Whitney looked down at the t-shirt cannon, and placed it down. "Nah, you're right."
Jumping out of the way of Omelette's attack, Whitney then noticed someone about to chow down on something. Using her wrist bandage, she grabbed the food, and lept over at Omelette, slapping her with it.
"You… gotta be kidding me. You DID go all COD on me."
Whitney looked at what she was holding: it appeared to be a fried fish on a stick.
"At least I ain't teabaggin' ya. But now, time for the big finish!" Whitney declared, as she delivered a kick to Omelette's gut, as she staggered and fell off the stage, as the bell rang.
"And it's over! This matchup's winner… Whitney!" Dirk announced out loud.
Whitney gave off a grin as she hopped off and helped Omelette back up.
"GG, Omelette." Whitney gave off a smile." Whitney said out loud.
"GG, Whitney. Now I know how Isaac got attracted to you." Omelette responded back.
"You… Wanna hit up a snack bar in the real world after we dematerialize from here?" Whitney suggested.
"Eh, sure." Omelette shrugged, as the two started to fade away from the ring.
Confessional: Food makes the world go round!
Whitney: Seriously… Who knew fish slapping actually worked?
Omelette: I don't quite follow… Do people actually teabag in that game?
Dana: Eh, I've seen a LOT worse in a round or two.
Now walking outside their pods, the two looked over at each other with a nod of approval as they went back to their teams.
"And what a thrilling match-up! But what kinda match-up will these campers come up with next? Well, let's turn on the good ol' Randomizer, and find out!" Chris announced, as he pressed a button on the Randomizer.
The camper's faces flashed by really fast, with both teams hoping that it wouldn't be Bob or Selena, being they weren't gonna arrive back in time. Eventually, it stopped on…
"...And the Penguin's Ethan take on the Seal's very own Tina!" Chris continued, as the two got up, and looked at each other.
"Best of luck, dude." Tina said out loud.
"Yeah… Considering who I'm up against, I'll need it." Ethan responded back, looking a little nervous.
Confessional: Well, it is a lucky start.
Ethan: I am so very SCREWED. I'm up against Tina, and this game is her home turf! What's a daydreamer like me supposed to do against a female Simon Belmont crossed with elements of Twilight Sparkle?
In the beat up locker room, Tina pressed the button on the terminal, as Dana appeared on-screen.
"Hey, welcome to your element, T!" Dana gave off a grin. "You must be pretty excite, huh?"
"Excite? You bet!" Tina grinned. "It's like everything I ever imagined!"
"Now, calm down, while I explain your restriction." Dana said, as she looked at another monitor. "Okay, says here that you gotta ditch the whip for your match. For that the network threatened to raise the age rating of the show if you used it. Says it's a bit too… kinky."
Tina rolled her eyes. "Thank you very much, back alleyways of Hollywood for ruining whips forever..."
"But hey, you dealt with bigger toughies before!" Dana encouraged back.
Tina sighed. "I… rather not talk about it."
"Anyways, you're booked for the match-up, so just wait here until security comes escorts you to the ring." Dana said, as she signed off.
And while she was waiting, Tina was doing some thinking of her own.
"Think I should get a badge of my own, like Ichigo's? Should I change my Pokemon's nickname from Puke-Chan to something not so gross?"
…
…
"...Will Bob be okay?"
Meanwhile, in the other locker room, Ethan has already pressed a button on his terminal, and Allie appeared on-screen.
"Hey, Ethan! Ready for your next match? Crowd seems ready for a beat-down." Allie winked.
"I'm hoping for the best, but expecting the worst." Ethan responded back. "Like several super-counters in a row worst."
"Well, in either case, your restriction is to defeat Tina within 4 minutes." Allie nodded. "Sounds like some tough stuff coming from such a tough girl, but hey; I think you can pull it off."
Ethan blinked. "You… have fate in me? Even after the world just seemed to ignore me before this show?"
Allie smiled warmly. "The world may ignore you… But we won't. Now get out there and show them that you are Ethan… Whatever your last name is!" Allie declared. "Well, after Security comes."
The terminal turned off, as Ethan looked a bit more confident now… If only a little.
In the middle of the ring, Dirk was about to announce the next match.
"Time for the third fight of the evening, and we're in for one hell of a match!" Dirk announced, as he looked to one of the entrances.
Tina was standing in front of the entrance, waving to the audience as her chosen theme played. It appeared to be from a video game, only that it was a rock remix. (Super Mario World Athletic Theme)
"Coming to the ring, repping the Seals, she's the cotton-candy scented friend to all, the gamer gal who's probably not a sex machine to all the chicks… It's Tina!"
"Damn right!" One of the audience members yelled out loud.
Tina playfully shook her head. "But I'm straight, and I think the kids are too young to get that reference..."
She hopped onstage, as she awaited her opponent.
"And her opponent…" Dirk continued, as he looked at the other entrance.
Ethan was walking to the ring, as his chosen theme played. It appeared to be some calm, game music. (Acculma Town from Pokemon Black/White) "And Tina's challenger, repping the Penguins… He has his head in the clouds! He's a lovestruck daydreamer! Ladies and gentlemen… It's Ethan!" Dirk announced out loud.
Ethan hopped onstage, and eyed his opponent.
"Good luck, Tina." Ethan said out loud.
"And a same to you too, pal." Tina replied back.
"Get yourselves ready to… RUMBLE!" Dirk yelled, as a gong rang out, and he once again floated away from the action.
Tina got into a fighting pose, as she motioned for Ethan to come forward.
"Nope, nuh-huh. Not falling for that one." Ethan quickly denied, as he looked up at the monitor near the entrance.
A clock was counting down. He suddenly remembered that he had to take down Tina, and fast.
"Okay, how do I defeat someone who probs knows this game frontwards and back?" Ethan said to himself, as Tina charged at him, and he dodged a few blows.
"Hey, you gonna start fightin' or what?" Tina asked.
Ethan then noticed one of the audience members was about to get a little restless, as it held in their hands, what appeared to be a plushie of a sheep. They soon threw it into the ring, as Ethan picked it up and looked at it.
"What can I even do with this?" Ethan asked himself, as he noticed the clock. "Crap, 3 more minutes to go! Uh..."
He soon tossed the sheep at currently rushing Tina, who then slowed down and then stopped completely. With a yawn, she was out like a light, sleeping while standing up.
"Mario… Link… Pokemon… Tattoos..." Tina muttered in her slumber, as Ethan could only watch.
"Is… Is Tina talking in her sleep?" Ethan questioned himself, as he shrugged, and picked up the gamer girl, walked over to the edge of the arena, and dropped her off, her slumbering body hitting the floor. The bell soon rang, and Dirk floated back down.
"And the winner of this match-up… Ethan!" Dirk announced out loud.
Ethan looked at the camera, and shrugged.
"Huh… Who knew that could possibly work?" Ethan asked himself.
Confessional: Good night!
Ethan: I now have the hugest respect for sheep right now…
Tina: Brought down by a sleep status effect… Nicely played, Ethan.
Meanwhile, around the same time the fights were going on…
Bob was running around in the thick of the forest, the oar close in hand, as he fought off any bug that crossed his path.
"Man, this IS a bug hunt!" Bob said to himself, swatting a giant fly straight out of the air. "How is this place even filled to the brink with bugs?"
He continued to run around, with several bugs noticing his presence and him swatting them back, hoping he wouldn't become their next meal. He soon stopped in his tracks, as he looked straight ahead.
An alligator was sitting straight ahead, lying in the sun. It appeared to be chewing on a rather large human leg.
"Damn, that is one large croc..." Bob backed away. "I rather not be on the receiving end of that guy."
He then gulped, as he noticed the leg that was being munched on.
"Either that's a human leg, or it's one of those Gummi Legs that was banned in Utah." Bob said to himself. "Hopefully it is the latter..."
The alligator soon looked forward, and noticed Bob's presence. Swallowing the leg, it soon started to approach the small kid, as…
"Ugh! Argh!"
Bob noticed those grunts anywhere. Quickly making a mad dash away from the gator, Bob followed the sounds, all while the alligator was following him…
Elsewhere, Selena, her face stained with tears, was fighting off against a giant centipede, as she was weilding a sharpened stick.
"I ain't becoming no human experiment today..." Selena sneered at the giant bug. "Martin Tomax, your time is up! And don't ask HOW I know about that reference."
The centipede lunged forward with its mandibles, as Selena barely managed to dodge the blow.
"Not like I have anything better to do; I can keep up with ya all day!" Selena declared out loud.
But she soon ate those words, as the centipede lunged at Selena again, this time, catching her skirt, and lifted her up via its jaws, forcing her to drop her spear in the process.
She could only look down, as she was trying to think fast on what to do…
"Okay, giant worm dork with legs… And giant jaws..." Selena said to herself. "I'm… at an impasse here."
But just when the centipede was about to toss Selena into its jaws to decapitate her in half…
SWISH!
The centipede growled in pain, forcing it to drop Selena in the process. She looked forward to see who her savior was.
"...Bob?"
Bob looked back at the centipede, which had a rip in its body now, and was oozing bug juices from its wound.
"Someone forgot about leg day..." Bob responded back to the centipede.
Selena shook her head. "Bob, While now isn't the time, we really should work on your one-liners." She then gave a serious look at the kid. "But now, we should take that thing out before it takes us out."
"Which I know nothing about. They never offered Entomology as a course in my school." Bob admitted. "And video game logic won't work here..."
"Seriously? I thought you would had any knowledge after playing those games with Tina…" Selena then took out a cell phone, and looked at her screen. "And no bars, meaning we can't ask Xander for assistance… Damn!"
Bob said nothing, as he took out what appeared to be a knife.
"I'll explain later, Selena! I just gotta aim for the right spot..." Bob said out loud, as he stared at the centipede into its eyes…
But at that moment, the alligator from before lunged at the centipede, its jaws biting right into the centipede's body. Thrashing it around, the two contestants quickly sidled away, as to make sure the alligator didn't spot them…
Meanwhile, back in the Arena Building on Wawanakwa…
The two teams watching the fights unfold were into some snacks, provided by Squirrel. In the meantime, Tina and Maxwell were busy talking to each other.
"Man, and I thought you've had an easy win in your pocket..." Maxwell said out loud. "If it weren't for that no-whip restriction."
"Yeah, shame I couldn't show off what I really could had done." Tina shrugged, biting into a nacho.
"Campers!" Chris said out loud, as the two looked at the host.
"Welp, next match is a go. Let's see who's gonna be a-fightin'." Maxwell noted.
Chris gave off a grin. "We're about to see who the next duo of battlers are!" Chris announced, as he pressed a button on a panel, as the same thing that happened the first few times occurred, with the camper's faces going rapidly. It eventually stopped on two of the campers. "And our next two battles are… Maxwell from the Seals, and Vikki of the Penguins!"
Maxwell got up, dusted himself off, and gave off a grin. "Well, time for me to fight a clown."
"Be careful, Maxwell; they're known to be rather tricky, and you're more experienced in manga clowns than comic book clowns!" Tina warned.
"But we knew Vikki for almost two weeks. What harm could she possibly do?" Maxwell questioned.
"She managed to make a slushie out of a blender made outta balloons..." Tina answered back.
"Oh..." Maxwell blinked.
"Yeah, I am still confuzzled as to how that whole thing even works." Tina noted.
Over with Vikki, she was indeed holding what appeared to be a balloon blender, as she handed it over to Kagura, who looked at the blender in question.
"Should I file this under insane troll logic, Vikki-Chan?" Kagura asked out loud. "Let alone the fact that we may have an actual working blender back in the cabins for starters..."
Omelette, who was sitting next to Vikki, gave off a chuckle. "Someone hasn't been hanging with Vikki all this time, huh?"
Kagura blinked in confusion. "Er… I don't think not."
In the locker room, Maxwell pressed a button on the terminal, and rocked back and forth on his feet as Dana appeared on-screen.
"Maxwell! You ready for your match-up? And here's hoping this match doesn't last 3 episodes..." Dana joked out loud.
"Eh, you want filler, try watching One Piece… Naruto… The Johto season of Pokemon..." Maxwell listed back.
"Though given, the series was intended to end after Johto, but now I'm rambling on…" Dana continued. "Anyway, your objective for your match? Use at least something inspired by anime."
"And I thought it was gonna be self-standard..." Maxwell noted. "How do I even do anything anime-like? I'm kinda the wrong gender to be a magical girl, and I ain't signing NO contract from some cute dog demon!"
"Check your pockets, Puella Magi Maxwell Magica..." Dana giggled.
Maxwell done so, and took out what appeared to be some shruikens.
"I like the way you think, Dana..." Maxwell grinned.
"Now, just wait there and security will come escort ya!" Dana gave off a wink, as the feed ended.
The Otaku then looked at one of the fighters, which towered over him. He gave off a slight chuckle.
"Er… So who are you fighting tonight?" Maxwell gave off a sweat drop.
"Captain Kill-All." The fighter replied back.
Maxwell blinked, and then shrugged.
"Eh, I found Yanderes scarier." Maxwell admitted back.
Meanwhile, in the other locker room, Vikki was also getting her instructions for her fight, from Allie.
"Vikki! Ready to get your Doink on?" Allie winked.
Vikki's eyes went wide. "Allie! Get your head outta the gutter; there are kids watching this show!"
Allie quickly shook her head. "Oh, no-no-no! Not like that! You ever watched old -BLEEP- fights?"
"I thought it was the -BLEEP-." Vikki responded back, as she was confused. "Uh, we never cursed… The heck's going on?"
"Yeeeaaahhh, we can't say those company names anymore. Blame the SJWs and the PG-Era. And several Senate Runnings." Allie shrugged. "But, here's what you should do for your objective; use balloons to your advantage."
Vikki gave off a grin. "Now that's what I do best."
"Anyways, just wait until security comes escorts ya to the ring." Allie replied back as she cut the feed off.
Vikki, looking around, then took out some balls, and started to juggle them in the air, not noticing that security walked behind her.
"Um, ma'am? It's time for your match, bub." The security officer said out loud, as Vikki continued to juggle. "Ma'am?"
Dirk was in the middle of the ring, ready to announce the next battle.
"Up next, we have a couple awesome battlers coming for a beat-down! Or at least one of them!" Dirk announced out loud, as he looked at one of the entrances.
Maxwell was standing in front of one of the entrances, as what appeared to be some J-Pop music started to play through the arena. (Baka and Test Intro 1) He was greeted with several cheers.
"Heh, full house." Maxwell noted. "Okay, just follow Z-Tournament rules, and things will go easy-peasy..."
"And coming to the ring, he's the Hawaiian shirt wearin' Otaku! The handsome guy with a lotta Waifus… It's Maxwell!" Dirk announced out loud, as Maxwell hopped on-stage.
"Hey, that should be past tense; I used to have waifus!" Maxwell defended. "About seven… teen of them!"
Dirk chuckled, as he looked at the other entrance.
Vikki was standing in front of the other entrance… Or in her case, balancing on top of a ball, as her chosen theme music was playing. It appeared to sound almost like circus music. (Colorman's Stage from Megaman Network Transmission) "And Maxwell's challenger… She's the cutest and kindest clown around… With a 100% Butt Ranking straight from the mouth of Omelette herself… Ladies and Gentlemen… Give it up for Vikki!"
Vikki got to the stage, and shook her head. "Omelette… Why." Vikki said playfully.
Confessional: Why not?
Omelette: -She's holding up a chart- Hey, I took the time to rank the butts of everyone on the show, even if they got the boot! ...Well, excluding Bob and Hannah's rears, due to them being kids and all. And Vikki's butt here ranks high up there as well with its perfect roundness and squishiness…
Maxwell gave off a smile to Vikki. "Best of luck, Vik, cause I think we both need it!"
Vikki gave off a smile as well. "Same to you too, buddy!"
"Get yourselves ready to… RUMBLE!" Dirk yelled, as a gong rang out, and he floated away from the action via some balloons.
Vikki, upon the match starting up, started to quickly inflate some balloons, and formed them to make what appeared to be a balloon steel chair.
"Uh, I think that may be cheating in actual wrestling..." Maxwell noted.
"Yeah, probably..." Vikki replied back, as she looked at the audience. "Now… Who would be waifu material for you?"
"Vik, I gave that up when I first laid my eyes on Tina." Maxwell responded back. "And isn't Yuki the match-maker around here?"
"Eh, you're right." Vikki shrugged. "Just someone donning some pink hair."
Maxwell looked around. "Pink hair? Where?"
At that moment, Maxwell… Got hit by the balloon steel chair.
"You do know that's not gonna cause much damage to me." Maxwell stated.
"Yeah, you're right..." Vikki replied back, as she reached behind her back, and pulled out a cream pie, and some scarves. Using those scarves, she pulled Maxwell closer to her, and laid a pie straight onto his face.
"Oof!" Maxwell grunted, as he wiped the cream off his eyes, and licked his fingers a bit.
"And now for the big finish! The Vikki Vivi Victory Slam!" Vikki announced.
Maxwell gave off a grin. "You seem to be getting into this, aren't ya?"
Vikki nodded in response, as she inflated some balloons, and hung onto them, as she started to float over Maxwell. But the otaku had other plans. Reaching into his pockets, he dug out some ninja shrunkens and jumped away from Vikki, aiming his shrunkens at the balloons, popping them and sending Vikki back to the ground.
"Oof!" Vikki grunted, as Maxwell lifted the clown in the air, and quickly lobbed her out of the ring, ending the match.
"And this match is OVER! Our winner… Maxwell!" Dirk announced, floating back down with his balloons.
Maxwell, seeing that he was the winner, hopped out of the ring, and helped Vikki back up.
"Great game, Vikki." Maxwell said out loud.
Vikki smiled back. "GG, Max."
Confessional: Crack Couple, maybe?
Maxwell: That was a rather eventful match. And hey, I didn't bite it early on! Things are really looking up!
Vikki: Eh, just as well; he must have knew some all sorts of anime stuff which could have gotten… Kinda humiliating if I continued on.
Maxwell and Vikki were back in the bleachers, having gotten some looks of approval from their friends, as Chris grinned at the contestants.
"Campers! We seen some pretty wild fights so far! But just how wilder can it get? Well, that's for the trusty ol' randomizer to decide!" Chris gave off a wink as he pressed a button on the randomizer's console. Once again, the faces sped by very rapidly, until finally… "And our next battles are… Isaac of the Seals… And Hannah of the Penguins!"
The two of them got up, as the two looked at each other.
"Good luck, fellow former Flounder!" Hannah gave off a grin.
Isaac nervously chuckled. "S-Same to you too..."
Confessional: We can foresee this going over very well…
Isaac: -He is nervous-Guys! If anyone placed any bets on me, change them real fast!
Hannah: I promise, this'll be quick and painless! I mean, so far, it's just been hurl everyone off the ring.
Nerdi: I got 25 buckaroos riding on Isaac, meow. He's couplin' with Whitney, so she's bound to taught him some moves, and this challenge doesn't contain any bloodshed… Easy moolah right here, meow!
In the locker room, Isaac was at the terminal, as he switched it on. Dana appeared onscreen not too soon after.
"Isaac! You ready to rip and tear your way through your challenge?" Dana asked.
Isaac shrugged. "Like I've got any choice. So, what's my restrictions?"
"Simple enough; don't use any items." Dana answered back.
Isaac dug into his pockets, and pulled out a single candy bar. "Yeah, sweatpants aren't much of a good storage compartment; I had more deep pockets back when I was a shut-in."
"Either way, wait until security comes and escorts you to the ring, 'kay?" Dana smiled, as she shut the terminal off.
Isaac nodded, and then turned back around, looking at the grimy locker room…
"...That bench could use a little TLC." Isaac noted. "Then again, not like it matters that much; it is a VR challenge, after all."
In the other locker room, Hannah pressed a button on her terminal, as Allie appeared onscreen.
"Hannah! You ready for your first unofficial match?" Allie gave off a smile.
"You betchya! Though I do feel bad for Isaac..." Hannah admitted.
"Well, in either case, your restriction for this match? Don't use any weapons." Allie instructed. "We had an outcry of parents sending us angry eMails after that last challenge. Boy, I can only imagine how PO'ed they would be if Francis did win..."
Hannah shivered. "Don't remind me about him..."
"Apologies. In either case, just wait for security to escort you to the ring." Allie said, as she shut the terminal off.
At that moment, one of the fighters came up to her, almost looking really buff.
"Buff-Stuff heard you strong." Buff-Stuff said out loud. "Buff-Stuff challenges you to flip me."
Hannah nodded. "Okay!"
She flipped Buff-Stuff onto the bench, effectively shattering it as security opened the door, and saw that Buff-Stuff was on the ground.
"Sorry if that hurt a bit!" Hannah apologized.
"Buff-Stuff's chiropractor will hear of this..." Buff-Stuff said, holding his head.
"Um… Ready for your match, Hannah. Try not to destroy your opponent too much, okay?" The security officer asked out loud.
Confessional: Yep, total MMA material right there!
Hannah: If this challenge took place in real life, I could had said no. But being it's the VR...
In the ring, Dirk was ready to announce the match.
"And we're ready for the next battle to begin!" Dirk announced out loud, as he paid attention to one of the entrances…
Isaac was looking at the spectators about to watch the brawl, as his chosen theme music played. His theme seemed more appropriate for farming purposes. (Nature's Crescendo from Stardew Valley)
"Introducing our fighter repping the Seals… With a stich in his heart, and a personality as sweet as a cupcake, he will sew up us one awesome fight… Give it up for… Isaac!" Dirk announced out loud.
"Okay, I'm ready!" Isaac said out loud, hopping onstage. "...Probably."
Isaac and Dirk looked towards the other entrance, where Hannah made her entrance, with her theme music playing. It appeared to be a rock remix of a video game song. (White Feather in the Storm) She waved at the audience, as she walked towards the ring.
"And Isaac's opponent is one strong young girl! Give it up for the Pink Thunder herself, Hannah!"
"Okay, I'm ready to kick ass and take names!" Hannah declared. "And I think I can achieve a Kick Ass Bingo if I score Isaac's name!"
Isaac blinked. "Kick-Ass bingo?"
"In either case… Get yourselves ready to… RUMBLE!" Dirk yelled, as a gong rang out, and he floated above the action via some balloons.
Isaac made a motion, signaling for Hannah to come on. Soon enough, he was lifted into the air, and lobbed out of the arena, ending the fight as soon as it started.
"Seriously?!" Isaac exclaimed.
"And in just under 8 seconds, our winner is… Hannah!" Dirk announced.
Hannah hopped from the ring, and helped Isaac back up.
"Sorry about that, Isaac. I didn't want to harm you too much, even if it was an VR." Hannah admitted.
"Still, not that bad; I never seen any of that on my mom's wrestling vids." Isaac responded back.
Confessional: Wrestle! Wrestle!
Isaac: -Nerdi is perched on his shoulder- Granted, you gotta search high and low for the good stuff, according to my mom; thanks to softening things up… You really can't do much of the more Pay-Per-View stuff anymore.
Nerdi: Lame! Kids these days don't even know what true wrestling's all about, meow! You know, when you COULD show someone kissing a steel chair hard provided by the other guy! Now with the Senate actively watching it… By the way, you owe me some cash, Isaac.
Hannah: You think that was a bit much for him?
Meanwhile, on Boney Island while the fights were going on…
Bob and Selena were near a tree, panting from running from the alligator.
"Uff… Who knew… That alligators… Even LIKED insects?!" Bob exclaimed.
"Beats me, but the real question is WHY did you even tail me?" Selena questioned sternly.
"Well, you were crying, and I had to check and see if you were gonna be okay!" Bob yelled back.
"You know, even I like some alone time. And I could had taken care of myself, thank you very much." Selena responded back.
"I barely even saved you from being a centipede's lunch!" Bob replied back. "But that's neither here nor there. We gotta get back to camp; the challenge is still going on, and these bugs are looking kinda antsy."
"I can atest to that. Before that centipede… Ugh, ambushed me, I saw something which resembled one of those carnivorous beavers." Selena admitted, as she pointed to what appeared to be a skeleton.
The skeleton appeared to be a beaver… Or what was left of the beaver. It appeared to had been something's lunch.
"That was a beaver?!" Bob asked in alarm.
"Ssh, quiet. Listen..." Selena whispered, as Bob hushed in response.
There appeared to be a low buzzing sound, as Selena held Bob's hand, and the two of them snuck over to what appeared to be a tree.
One of the tree limbs was holding what appeared to be a beehive, with some white hornets pouring out, looking over their hive.
"...They appear to be hornets resembling tracker jackers from the Hunger Games." Selena explained. "Omelette got taken out of the challenge from them yesterday."
"Their stings are awfully toxic from what I remember. They cause hallucinations and in worst cases, even death." Bob whispered back. "I know these aren't the real deal, but what are we gonna use with them?"
The two then heard some rustling in the bushes, as the alligator jumped out at the two! Without any hesitation, the two crawled up the tree, and were sitting on a branch, as one of Bob's sandals fell off his foot. The alligator snapped and chewed up the sandal beyond reconsition.
"Damn! What do we do now?" Bob whispered to Selena. "We can't exactly fight against that thing!"
Selena looked around, and spied something nearby the alligator.
"Bob? Hand me your other sandal." Selena instructed. "I'll ask Dana to rush-delivery you a new pair."
Bob nodded, as he removed his other sandal, and handed it over to Selena. "What do you have in mind?"
Selena eyed the alligator, and threw the sandal…
Bob blinked. "I don't think hitting the alligator with a sandal is effective..."
"That wasn't my target..." Selena replied back.
Right at that moment, the sandal hit what appeared to be a large ant's nest, almost enough to fit a fully-grown human, as an entire swarm of ants came crawling out. The alligator noticing the new arrivals swung its tail at the ants, but the ants started to swarm all around the alligator. It was helpless as it trashed around, as it got covered with hundreds of ants, as it was then dragged into its nest, never to be seen again.
Bob went completely pale and green at the gills upon seeing the alligator become the swarm of ant's lunch.
"Oh, God… That is definitely gonna replace Ghirahim's death in my nightmares..." Bob gagged.
"I'll pretend I know who that is." Selena responded back, as she patted Bob on the back.
Bob proceeded to vomit, right on the ground.
"Oops..." Bob whimpered, wiping the vomit off his mouth with a nearby leaf.
Right as the vomit hit the ground, any straggling ants soon turned back around and started to surround the tree.
"Bob? You still have your knife on you?" Selena asked.
"Yeah, why?" Bob questioned back, holding said knife.
Selena nodded, as he handed it over to her, and she approached the hornet's hive, and started to cut it right off the branch, receiving several stings among the way. It soon gave way, as it fell onto the ground, sending hundreds of hornets into the air, targeting the ants. Selena then gave Bob back his knife, as he pocketed it.
"Quick, Bob! Jump off the other side!" Selena instructed, swatting any hornets that came her way.
Bob nodded, as hopped off, followed by Selena, as she began to hold her head.
"Ugghh..." Selena moaned.
"Selena? You okay?!" Bob asked in panic. "Crap, those hornets really got to her..."
But in Selena's mind, some memories came flooding back.
'Fatso!'
'Whale!'
'Snorlax Wannabee!'
'Jenny Craig!'
Selena began to tear up.
"No! NO! Don't call me Jenny Craig!" Selena whailed out loud.
Bob looked at Selena in concern. "Jenny Craig? Was she that girl who… Uh..." Bob tried to ask, trying not to insult Selena by accident.
He then looked right in front of him. A swarm of loctusts about the size of a football was looking at the two. Bob looked back at Selena, and at the loctusts. Without hesitation, he grabbed Selena's hand, and ran right into the swarm, swinging his oar along the way…
Bob ran, holding Selena's hand, through various swarms of insects, as in Selena's mind, the torment continued for the poor girl…
'Sloppy Selena!'
'Hey, wanna cupcake, Selena?'
'Then have it on your face!'
'HAHAHAHAHA…'
Selena started to whimper, as she looked at her pointer finger while running. She held it close to her mouth.
Bob, looking at Selena while on the run, suddenly stopped.
"No, Selena! Do NOT do that!" Bob warned her.
"But… I'M FAT!" Selena sobbed out loud.
Bob gave a serious look at Selena. "No, you are not! Just listen, okay? You're one of the most beautiful girls on this show!"
"That's what you wanna say..." Selena responded back.
"It is true!" Bob replied back.
"No it's not..." Selena whimpered.
Bob sighed. He knew Selena wasn't acting like her normal self, and that he had to get her to Allie right away. He looked forward in the woods, and saw what appeared to be the beach.
"Hang on tight, Selena! I'm kicking my bare feet into overdrive!" Bob instructed, as he began to make a mad dash towards the beach.
Back at Wawanakwa…
Chris gave off a grin at the camera.
"We're down to two more fights for this challenge! It's still anyone's game, however!" Chris announced out loud.
"But isn't this match-up technically over? One team kicked more ass than the other." Maxwell stated.
"And I will explain all of that, coming up! Right after the break!" Chris interrupted Maxwell.
Tina looked over at the exit of the Arena Building, hoping that Bob would come back in with Selena, not knowing where Bob has truly been.
"Bob hasn't been gone for this long, at all..." Tina said out loud. "And neither is Selena."
"Yeah, it has been an awful long time..." Maxwell noted. "You think we should look for thm after the challenge is all said and done?"
Tina nodded. "Yeah, I agree. While I did say I would stop worrying about Bob, I still worry about him… And Selena as well."
Maxwell gave off a smile to Tina, as he blushed.
Confessional: If only you knew what happened…
Maxwell: I do truly adore Tina, she's caring to everyone, even her own brother…
Back with Bob and Selena...
Now with the two having arrived at the beach, Bob made a mad dash for the Boat of Losers, set Selena down, and pushed the boat back in the water. Reboarding, he started up the engine, and started to leave the island…
"Okay, I am done with that crazy island!" Bob decalred as he began to drive the boat away from the island. He looked down at his bare feet, which had some red bumps on them, most likely from some stray ant bites. But that was neither here nor there...
"Mommy! Everyone's making fun of me!" Selena cried out loud, still really out of it.
Bob looked at Selena, and back towards the upcoming Wawanakwa Island.
"Hang tight, Selena..." Bob muttered. "I'll get you to Allie real soon..."
But all of a sudden, the motor to the boat stopped dead. Bob tried to rev up the motor, but the engine wouldn't turn.
"Damn..." Bob cursed, as he looked at Selena.
"We… We're rich?" Selena asked out loud.
At that moment, the ocean surrounding the two started to bubble. Bob, holding the oar looked down at whatever was causing the bubbling.
SPLASH!
In just a split moment, what appeared to be a 12 foot tall mantis rose from the ocean depths, sneering down at the two… It growled at them, as it started to lunge at both Bob and Selena...
"I… think we need a bigger boat..." Bob muttered, with the mantis shadowing both him and Selena…
Yep, cliffhanger! And right at the most critical part, too! How will the two get outta this mess?
NEXT TIME: The finale of the challenge!
