"Last time on Total Drama Fazbear All-Stars, our competitors were given a jet ski and a jousting lance and thrown out into the lake to race and battle it out to retrieve the flag that was stranded on a buoy!" Marionette started. "After finally catching Lefty in the middle of doing his weird stalking thing, he did his best miming to try and let Rachel know that she was probably in trouble. Unfortunately for him... it didn't work *Chuckles*. Katy's streak of bad luck with Randy continued as, after a pep talk from fellow Hero, Freddy, she finally decided it was time to talk to Randy, but didn't get to before Rebecca once again beat her to the punch. And we found out, despite her sometimes rude attitude, Roxy may not be as much of a 'Villain' anymore as we thought, or at least Adrian thinks so after catching her relaying a message from Laura to Carly and Carson." He continued. "But in the end, after very VERY rudely sneaking into yet ANOTHER season of my show uninvited, thanks to Mister 'Sent in by the network', Brent was given a chance to join the All-Stars cast and got lucky by winning the jet ski challenge, sending his girlfriend, and the rest of her Heros teammates to the Bonfire Ceremony where in a shocking turn of events, Rachel was sent packing." He finished.
"After Rachel's shocking elimination, What'll happen next?" Marionette asked. "Find out right now on another exciting edition of..."
"Total..."
"Drama..."
"Fazbear..."
"ALL-STARS!"
(Cues Theme Music)
It was pretty early in the morning, earlier than Doug usually woke up. He was currently sitting alone in the dining hall, just staring ahead at the wall. He was still pretty bummed out about what happened to Rachel.
But as much as it sucked, after thinking about it, he did get one positive out of it: at least Lefty couldn't stalk her anymore. She didn't deserve that. Not at all. If Doug got his way, Lefty would have been the one sent home, not Rachel. But things didn't play out like that.
He eventually rested his elbow on the table and used his paw to prop up his head. What was he going to do now? Sure, confronting Lefty would be the obvious thing to do. But he honestly didn't know what he would do with how... unhinged he seems to be.
He continued to stare ahead as he thought. He hadn't even touched the plate of food he had made for himself. It just sat in front of him, getting colder than it already was. But it's not like it bothered him. Sure he probably needed to eat, but he honestly just didn't feel like it.
Eventually the silence he had let build up was interrupted by the door to the dining hall swinging open. Doug looked over, only to see Freddy walking in.
"Good morning, Doug." The bear greeted. Doug replied with a somewhat small nod, before looking back towards the wall straight ahead of him again. Freddy quickly realized something was up. He was pretty good at ready people based off of their actions. "You okay there?" He said curiously as he approached the table the dog was sitting at. Doug sat still for a few seconds before finally shrugging. Freddy stared at him for several seconds, before continuing. "Do you want to tell me what's going on? Maybe I can help." He said as he took a seat across from his teammate.
Doug looked up at him, a somewhat questionable look on his face. That's when Freddy realized what he had said. "Or... show me what's going on? I'm moderately okay at Charades." He joked trying to get some sort of reaction out of him. It didn't work. Doug rolled his eyes, before finally deciding to try and show Freddy what was going on.
Freddy watched on in silence as Doug began to move his arms around. He pointed at the bear's hat, before tilting his head to the side and putting on a very creepy smile.
"Lefty...?" He said curiously. Doug seemed to have almost leapt out of his seat in excitement when he said that. Finally someone was understanding him! He nodded profusely before continuing with his motions.
He began to slowly strum an air guitar, as he moved his mouth to act like he was singing.
"Rachel...?" Freddy said curiously. This only seemed to excite the dog even more. His weird, Lefty expression returned to his face as he stared ahead at the bear, not moving. Several seconds passed before he finally pointed towards his eyes, then motioned towards the bear. "Watching? Lefty was watching Rachel?" He continued. Doug felt like he could cry with how happy he was at that moment. He again nodded profusely at the bear.
Freddy thought about that for a few seconds. He was confused by it. "Are you sure? Why would Lefty be watching Rachel?" He said curiously. Doug shook his head as a response, letting the bear know that he wasn't sure.
(Confessional -Freddy)
Freddy sat in front of the camera still pretty perplexed as to Lefty's reasoning for stalking Rachel.
"It's not that I don't believe Doug, because I do, but I just don't see a reasoning as to why Lefty would be watching Rachel. I know they competed together last season, but at least from what I remember, they didn't interact all too much. I know Lefty is a bit... unstable? If that's a good way to put it, but I would at least like to know what his intentions were." Freddy started, before once again getting lost in thought. "Perhaps keeping an eye on him would be a smart thing to do. Rachel may be gone now, but that doesn't mean he still doesn't have some sort of trick up his sleeve." He continued.
(Confessional End)
After getting Freddy to understand what was going on with Lefty, the silence picked back up as the bear began to try and figure out why it was going on to begin with.
"From what you remember, did Rachel do something that Lefty didn't like last season? Maybe that's why he was watching her. Trying to plan a way to get back at her, maybe?" The bear questioned. Doug immediately shook his head. Rachel hadn't done anything to Lefty. At least not that he knew. Realistically he wasn't even around long after Lefty joined the competition last season before he was eliminated. "Hmm..." The bear hummed in thought.
Eventually, the pair were interrupted by the door to the dining hall opening. Randy walked in with his hands in his pockets, and made his way towards the food. He didn't say anything as he did.
"Good morning, Randy." Freddy spoke up.
"Huh...? Oh, uh, morning." The raccoon replied. He seemed rather out of it at the moment, like he was still tired from the night before.
"Are you Alright?" Freddy asked curiously. His and Doug's attention was now focused on their teammate.
"Y-*yawn*-Yeah, yeah. I'm... good." He replied. The big yawn he let out as he was responding to them wasn't a good sign. Freddy and Doug looked at each other, before looking back towards the raccoon.
"Uh, you sure? Because you look, and sound tired." Freddy said.
"Why do you say that?" Randy said curiously as he began making a plate.
"Because you're using the trash can lid as a breakfast tray." Freddy replied.
"Huh...?" Randy huh'd in confusion as he looked down towards what he was holding in his paws. Yep, it was indeed the trashcan lid. "Oh, oops." He said, before shaking his head and tossing it off to the side.
Freddy and Doug continued to sit there in silence watching him as he tiredly threw together a plate of food. This time on an actual plate. After, he slowly stumbled his way towards the table they were sitting at, before tossing his plate down onto and collapsing into a seat. Freddy let him settle for a few seconds before once again speaking.
"So... do you want to tell us what's up, or no?" He questioned the raccoon. He honestly couldn't remember a time where he had seen him like this before, and he was honestly kind of worried. Randy propped his elbow on the table and dropped his face into his paw before sighing.
"I just... didn't get a lot of sleep last night, okay? Man, I don't see why it's that big of a deal." He replied sounding pretty annoyed. Freddy and Doug sat somewhat taken aback by his attitude. They knew he was obviously tired, but sheesh.
"Randy, I apologize for making you mad. That wasn't my intentions. I was just-" Freddy started to reply, before being interrupted.
"-It's fine. I'm just tired. It's nothing to worry about." Randy said, trying to sound less annoyed as he did. Freddy stared at him for several seconds, before nodding.
(Confessional -Randy)
Randy tiredly sat in front of the camera with his arms crossed, and a somewhat annoyed look on his face.
"Man, who knew people cared so much about me not getting sleep. Yeah, I get where Freddy was coming from. Whatever. But like I told him, it's not a big deal. Me being tired is on me, no one else. Besides, I'm used to sleepless nights. The crappy old floor mattress I used to have back home made sure of that." He started, shaking his head as he thought back to the awful sleeping arrangements he once had. "But if he's worried about me screwing up in whatever today's challenge is because I'm tired, he's worrying for nothing. I'm no sucker that's going to let a few hours of missed sleep cost me a challenge." He continued, sounding pretty sure as he did.
(Confessional End)
The three male Heros continued to sit around in the dining hall even after finishing their breakfast.
Freddy and Doug were still trying to piece together this whole "Lefty" thing, while Randy sat across from them dozing off. He tried to make it seem like he wasn't, but it was clear to the other two that he was.
But even though he was trying to help Doug with Lefty, Freddy still hadn't forgotten about Katy's problem. He honestly just wished she was there at that moment. Sure Randy may be half asleep, but at least Rebecca wasn't with him. That would have given Katy at least a little bit of time to talk to him.
As Freddy began to grow somewhat sidetracked by the Katy/Randy/Rebecca situation, Doug began to feel uneasy. He slowly began glancing around the room trying to see if he could see why. Freddy noticed this.
"What's wrong, Doug?" He said curiously. Doug lifted one of his paws up and slowly began shaking it. "Scared? Worried? Uneasy?" Freddy said curiously, trying to make out Doug's actions. The dog nodded at the last one before continuing to look around the room.
His eyes eventually slowly came up to one of the windows in the dining hall. That's when he froze. He saw Lefty standing outside the window with his head tilted to the side and a very crooked smile on his face. He was staring right at the dog.
Doug quickly jumped up and pointed towards the window. Freddy jumped up immediately after and looked towards where he was pointing.
"What is it?!" He asked as he looked around. This startled Randy, who was almost asleep, enough to wake him up and send him out of his seat and to the floor.
"GAH!" The tired raccoon exclaimed as he hit the floor.
Freddy continued looking around trying to see if he could find what Doug was pointing at. But as if he was never there, Lefty managed to disappear out of sight before Freddy could see him. Doug immediately began shaking his head as he rushed towards the window and began to look around outside of it. Nothing. No Lefty in sight.
"What's going on?!" Randy exclaimed in a mixture of surprise and annoyance.
Doug quickly turned around to face his two teammates, and began pointing towards the window in a panic. Lefty WAS just there! Freddy saw how worked up he was getting and approached him.
"I don't see anything." He said as he looked around outside the window. Doug rejoined him, shaking his head as he did. Randy was still sat in the floor, still confused as to what was even going on.
Freddy looked over at the dog, who had an expression on his face that said, "I saw him. I know I did."
"Hey, don't worry about it. I believe that he was out there." He spoke, trying to sympathize with the dog. Doug stared at him, a pretty distraught expression on his face, before nodding.
As the pair walked back towards the table they had previously been sitting at, Randy finally picked himself up off the ground.
"Do either of you want to explain to me what's going on?" He asked sounding pretty irritable as he did. He was clueless, and he wanted to be filled in. He felt like he deserved it after being startled awake and down to the floor.
"Lefty is up to something. Doug says he had been stalking Rachel. We don't know how long, or for what reason. But, we should try and get to the bottom of it before it goes too far." Freddy explained. Randy stood in silence taking what Freddy had just said in. He blinked a few times before he finally decided to say anything.
"Yeah, Lefty's a freak. But I don't have time for this. I don't care what he does as long as he leaves me out of it." He said in a pretty unamused and uninterested tone, before deciding he was too tired to deal with it at that moment. As he finished, he began walking towards the door.
"But Randy, this could really be something to worry about. If he really does have something planned and we don't take care of it quick, this could turn into Roxy, Goldie, or Adrian all over again. And you and I both know that you've had your issues with all three of them." Freddy said, getting the raccoon to stop in his tracks. He didn't turn around, though.
He knew Freddy may have been right about that, but he still hated having to deal with that crap. It irritated him to no end, especially when he had other things going on right now.
"You guys have fun. Like I said, he tries to pull anything on me, he'll deal with me then. But until that time comes count me out of it." He said before continuing on his way out the door, leaving Freddy and Doug to sit in silence.
(Confessional -Doug)
Doug sat in front of the camera shaking his head. He eventually grabbed it as his shaking picked up. He still just couldn't believe that Lefty had managed to appear and vanish all before Freddy could see him.
He was beginning to think he had magical powers or something. Black magic, maybe? He shook his head at the thought.
And on top of that, now they had Randy not wanting any part in it, and with his experience in dealing with this kind of thing, they really could have used his help.
It seemed like it was now left up to him and Freddy to figure this thing out, and he knew they NEEDED to figure this thing out.
(Switch to -Lefty)
Lefty sat in front of the camera with a blank expression on his face. It didn't last too long before it started curving into a somewhat sinister smirk.
"Now you see me, now you don't." He said before he began laughing. It was low at first, but slowly began to grow more and more louder the longer it went.
(Confessional End)
(With Brent and Cheek)
Brent and Cheek were currently walking along the trail, feathered hand locked in feathered hand, just like old times.
"Man, this definitely brings back memories." Brent said as they walked along, enjoying the pretty cool breeze as they did. Cheek nodded in agreement with him.
"It does. I missed it." She said. Brent glanced over at his girlfriend, offering her a small smile as he did.
"This was always my favorite thing about being here." He said. Cheek finally looked his way before speaking.
"Walking the trail?" She said curiously.
"No. Counting trees. It's soooo relaxing." He replied jokingly. Cheek playfully nudged him in response, causing him to chuckle. "Yeah walking the trail. Walking it with you." He continued, his joking grin relaxing back into a smile as he looked back at his girlfriend. She shook her head in amusement as a loving smile formed on her own face.
"You're such a nerd." She said. Brent shrugged as he looked straight again.
"I know." He replied. Cheek continued to stare at him with a loving smile on her face even after he looked straight again.
(Confessional -Cheek)
Cheek sat in front of the camera, her smile having remained.
"This is a game about elimination, and being the last one standing. I know. But having Brent back these last couple of days has been amazing. Like for the first time since we've been back here, it feels more tolerable to put up with everything." She started. "I know it's not going to last. Whether he gets eliminated first, or I do. Who knows? But things are going to be easier to put up with as long as he's here with me." She continued.
(Confessional End)
Brent and Cheek had continued their walk along the trail completely unaware that there was a certain rabbit meditating in a tree they were nearing.
Betty has sat in a pretty high tree branch with her eyes closed and her arms extended out, lowly humming as she did. She hadn't done her tree meditating in awhile, so she figured she could use it.
As she hummed, she heard the couples' conversation as they neared the tree she was in. She smiled as she did. She opened her eyes and looked down towards the ground, watching them as they approached.
As the couple reached the tree, Brent stopped. Cheek didn't make it much further ahead before stopping, herself.
"What is it?" She said curiously as she looked back towards him.
"Do you hear that?" Brent asked as he stood still, eye brow raised.
"Hear what?" Cheek was somewhat confused she didn't hear anything.
"HI GU- WHOA! AHHH!!!" Betty began exclaiming, before interrupting herself as she lost her footing and slipped out of the tree. Brent and Cheek's eyes grew wide once they saw her. They unfortunately weren't quick enough to move out of the way, though, and ended up turning into Betty's landing pads.
Betty crashed hard into them, sending all three of them to the ground in a somewhat dazed state.
Brent and Cheek both groaned as they lay there underneath the unharmed rabbit.
"Whoa! That could have been bad." She said before laughing.
"Will you... get off of us?!" Cheek asked, her annoyance present in her voice.
"Oops." Betty said before letting out a giggle. She was getting ready to speak again, but didn't get to before she twitched, a plaid apron and red lipstick appearing out of nowhere as she did. "Oh, dear! Oh my! Are you two okay?!" She asked as she quickly climbed off of the two competitors she had fallen on, sounding very concerned as did.
Brent and Cheek looked at her in confusion, having noticed the apron and lipstick that weren't present when she fell on top of them.
"Where did that come from?" Cheek asked, as they continued to stare at the rabbit.
She only seemed to have not only ignored her question, but ignored their confusion too as she continued to look them over for any injuries.
"Are the two of you hurt?" Mama Maggie asked, her motherly sounding worry having fully taken over at this point.
"Uh..." Was all Brent managed to get out as he looked back at his girlfriend, who continued to stare ahead in confusion. "Betty, are you... feeling okay?" He finally asked.
"Betty? Sweetheart, I'm Mama Maggie." She replied, smiling at him as she did. This only confused the couple more. They once again glanced at each other, now somehow even more confused.
(Confessional -Brent)
Brent sat in front of the camera with a very perplexed look on his face.
"So that was... weird. Like, yeah, Baby was pretty... strange. But at least she was pretty upfront about it. I heard about the ''multiple personality'' thing, but that was just... awkward. I mean, Mama Maggie? And she was actually trying to sound like our mother." He said, shaking his head as he did.
(Confessional End)
Brent and Cheek remained pretty perplexed as to what was going on as... Mama Maggie continued to check them over.
"Oh dear, that could have been a lot worse. I'm glad the two of you aren't hurt." She said, her motherly tone remaining.
"Considering you fell out of a tree and landed on us, I'm glad we're not hurt, too." Brent said as he tried to shake off some of the confusion. He began pushing himself back to his feet afterwards.
"Fell out of a tree? Darling, climbing trees is dangerous. I would never do something like that. And I would hope the two of you wouldn't, either." Maggie spoke. Brent ignored her last comment as he finally reached his feet. Immediately after, he extended his hand out to his girlfriend to help her back to hers.
"Betty-" Cheek began, but saw the somewhat annoyed look she was being given by the rabbit. "-Maggie... you were in that tree. I don't know why, but you were. And you fell out of it and LANDED ON US!" She continued, sounding pretty annoyed as she finished. Her confusion had almost all but worn off at this point and had been replaced by annoyance for being turned into a landing pad.
"Now, now, sweetheart, don't raise your voice to Mama. That's a very rude and disrespectful thing to do. And I have no earthly idea of what you're talking about. Are you feeling under the weather? Maybe we should get you back to camp." Maggie said, this only seemed to annoy Cheek further, and Brent could tell.
"No I'm not sick. But I'm also not going to stand here and argue with you about this. You fell on us. That's it. And maybe once Betty comes back, you'll realize it." She said. After, she looked back at Brent. "Come on, I need to keep walking." She said. Brent nodded, before the two turned around and continued on with their walk, leaving Maggie standing in silence.
(Confessional -Betty)
Mama Maggie sat in front of the camera with a small frown on her face.
"Now I don't know what came over Cheek, but the way she talked to me was very disrespectful. I was just trying to make sure her and Brent were okay because their well being is all I care about." She started. "Maybe she is feeling under the weather today and just didn't want to tell me. That could explain her irritability towards me." She continued, before twitching, her apron and lipstick disappearing as she did. Her fur spiked up and a scowl formed on her face before she continued. "Those two better stay out of my way if they don't want to be mowed down like the rest of them. I'll make sure they regret it if they don't..." Ivy finished, sounding as serious and threatening as she usually did.
(Confessional End)
(With Carson and Carly)
After Carson's jet ski accident in the last challenge, he and Carly decided to take a break from everything for a couple of days and just try to relax. It was more Carly's persistence than anything that got Carson to agree to it. She was worried about him. She wanted him to take it easy even though he wasn't signed up THAT bad. Sure crashing into that tree and then falling to the ground didn't feel too good. But hey, it didn't kill him. He took that as win enough.
The pair were currently sitting in the sand on the beach just staring out at the lake. Things were pretty quiet. At least at that particular moment they were.
Carson took a glance over at Carly, just staring at her for several seconds. A small smile formed on his face as he did.
"Thank you for talking me into this. I guess after all of that Statuette hunting, we could use a break." He said, getting the cat's attention. She looked over at him, slightly blushing when she saw his smile. She liked his smile.
"Y-you're welcome. You needed one a-after your accident." She replied.
"That accident left 'tis but a scratch. I've suffered far worse this season." Carson said jokingly, glancing up towards his bald head as he did. Carly looked up at it too, before shaking her head.
"I-I'm glad you're... okay. I was worried about you." She admitted, her eyes trailing back down to his face. They didn't stay there long, before she slowly looked towards the sand underneath them. Carson's smile had remained as he looked back down at her. He sat still for several seconds, before reaching over and taking her paw in his hand. She looked over at his hand, before looking back up at him, her blush having deepened at this point.
They locked eyes, just staring at each other in silence. Carson's smile showing no signs of fading. Carly's blush didn't, either.
"I appreciate you, you know that?" Carson said curiously. Carly's cheeks were tomato red at this point.
"A-and I... a-appreciate... you." It took her several seconds of silence to finally give him a very low, shy response. He thought it was cute. The longer he sat there staring at her with that smile on his face, the more embarrassed she became.
"Pfft. Relationships in this game are pointless. I'd let it go now while you still can." A voice said from behind as it neared them. This finally broke their eye contact. Carson turned around pretty annoyed to see who it was. It was Goldie.
"Why does it matter to you?" He asked. Goldie shook his head.
"It doesn't. I could care less what any of you do. Relationships are a distraction. They make you weak in a game like this. Soft... or softer if that's even possible." He replied, throwing a glance towards Carly as he did. She had glanced up at him mere seconds before he finished. And when she saw him look directly at her as he did, she slowly looked back down. She had been called that before, and it didn't bother her any less now than it did before.
Carson looked at her, before turning his attention back to the bear.
"Relationships don't make you soft. They give you drive. They helped Max and Cheek win seasons, didn't they?" He said, his annoyance with the bear very apparent.
"That was pure luck, not ''drive''. Cheek only won because of Roxy. And Max... I still don't get that one. Look, I'm just trying to help you out. I don't know why, but I am." Goldie said.
"Yeah? We appreciate it, but we don't need your help." Carson's sarcasm was apparent in his response. Goldie shrugged.
"Suit yourselves. When one of you ends up costing yourself the game because of the other, don't say I didn't warn you." He said, before he began to walk off, leaving the pair sitting there in silence. Carson was really peeved at that moment.
(Confessional -Goldie)
Goldie sat in front of the camera honestly not too fazed by the reaction he got from Carson.
"Hey, like I told them, I don't care what they do. But it was just a friendly warning. Relationships in games like this get in the way. And if I was them, I'd be more worried about winning the money like I actually am. But hey, they want to throw it all away just to keep giving each other googly eyes? Thats on them." Goldie said as he crossed his arms and uncaringly looked off to the side.
(Switch to -Carly)
Carly sat in front of the camera looking down at the floor. For some reason, Goldie's comments were really getting to her.
"A-am i... soft? I... l-like Carson, but I don't think it's a b-bad thing." She started as she continued to stare down at the floor.
(Switch to -Carson)
Carson sat in front of the camera still pretty annoyed by Goldie's comments.
"I don't care what Goldie thinks, or about the ''advice'' he was trying to give us. What he thinks makes us ''soft'' IS what gives us the drive to keep going in this game. I've been around for a season and a half now, I know I haven't been through as much as Goldie has on this show, but I've done some crazy stuff. And Carly... she's helped keep me going. That doesn't make me soft." Carson started, shaking his head as he finished. "So from now on, I'm here to prove Goldie wrong. So very... wrong." He continued.
(Confessional End)
(With Roxy)
Roxy was currently laying back on the dock in an old sun chair she had found in the new boathouse. She needed some piece and quiet for once.
Luckily for her she had managed to avoid Adrian for the majority of the morning so far. That was always a good thing. She really thought the only reason he existed was to annoy her. And annoy her he did.
"Roxy?" A voice spoke as it approached the vixen. Only... it wasn't Adrian. It was a voice belonging to someone she honestly didn't interact with much even though she was on her team: Rebecca.
"What do you want?" Roxy asked. She sounded pretty annoyed, Rebecca got that right off the bat.
"I... want to talk to you." The raccoon replied. Roxy didn't seem at all interested in this.
"Really? And what makes you think I feel like talking?" She asked. Rebecca shook her head.
"Look, we may have had... a disagreement a couple seasons ago. But right now, I need your help." She said. Roxy scoffed. "You're one of the most manipulative people I know. Back during the first season, I saw what you did. You got almost half of them eliminated. I know you don't have any emotional ties with the others, and there's someone that's been in my way for a long time, and I want her gone." She explained.
"Katy, right?" Roxy said curiously. Rebecca nodded even though Roxy wasn't even looking at her to see it.
"Yeah." She replied.
"Not interested." The vixen dismissed her, somewhat surprising the raccoon.
"W-wait, what?" She said in surprise.
"I'm not interested in getting involved with your love triangle. Mainly because I don't care about it. If you want Katy gone, do it yourself. You're all going to end up losing to me anyways, so it doesn't matter when, or how any of you go." Roxy said. Rebecca shook her head before saying anything after that.
"Come on, Roxy. I need your help. Please? Katy... she's just, she's ruining everything. She's... she's-" She started to reply, before stopping once she got an idea. "-Besides, she's a threat to you, too." She continued.
"Oh, yeah? How so?" Roxy said pretty sarcastically. She wasn't worried about anyone, Katy included.
"You and Randy don't get along, right." Rebecca said curiously.
"Was it really THAT obvious." She said, again, sarcastically, rolling her eyes as she did.
"Katy would do anything to defend Randy. And once he becomes a threat to you and you try to take him out, she will put a target on your back bigger than you could even imagine. She's a threat. Not just to me, but to you too. She needs to be taken care of before she gets too out of hand." Rebecca explained. Roxy continued to lay there in silence as she thought about what the raccoon had just said.
"I guess you could be right... for once." She finally replied. This got a small smirk out of the raccoon. "If I do help, what's in it for me? Because you seem to be a lot more worried about Katy than I am." She continued, finally deciding to look back towards her, lifting up her pink framed sunglasses as she did. Rebecca stood there thinking a minute. She had to come up with something that would persuade the vixen to help her.
That's when it hit her...
"What about I find the Invincibility Statuette for you? You want that, don't you?" She said curiously.
"Yeah, I do. But do you really think YOU will be able to find it?" Roxy asked. Rebecca nodded.
"I'll find it... trust me." She replied. Her voice started to become a little more... sinister as she finished. Roxy stared at her for several seconds, before finally deciding her answer.
"Fine. I'll help you. BUT if you let me down on that Invincibility Statuette, you'll regret it." She said sounding as threatening as she could. Rebecca stood staring at her in silence, before finally nodding in understanding. "Good. Now leave me alone so I can relax before today's challenge." She continued before pulling her sunglasses back over her eyes and going back to relaxing.
"Alright. I guess I'll get on finding that Invincibility Statuette then." Rebecca said with a smirk, as she turned and began to walk back up the dock.
"You go do that." Roxy said, no longer interested in the conversation.
However, unbeknownst to the two females, a certain Spanish-speaking wolf, who had coincidentally been nearby, overheard their entire conversation. He ducked out of sight as the clearly proud Rebecca made her way past where he was. He peaked his head out, watching her as she walked back towards camp, before raising an eyebrow.
She was up to something, and he knew it.
(Confessional -Rebecca)
Rebecca sat in front of the camera with a smile on her face.
"With Roxy on my side now, Katy will be a breeze to get rid of. Not like she should have made it this far anyways." She started, glancing off to the side as she did. "Either way, she should soak in every minute she has left here, because it's not long." She continued, before letting out a little laugh. "I just can't believe Roxy was dumb enough to believe that I was going to go out of my way to find the Invincibility Statuette for her. I have another idea instead. One that she will be non the wiser too." She finished. Again, her tone sounding very sinister.
(Switch to -Roxy)
Roxy sat in front of the camera with her arms crossed and a pretty standard "Roxy" expression on her face.
"*Scoff* that raccoon is way too gullible. Even more so than Randy. She really thinks I buy that load of crap she told me? I'm not scared of Katy. And I'm also not dumb enough to fall for her games. But, I'll go along with it long enough for me to get the Invincibility Statuette. Then, once I have it, I'll take her out myself if I have to." She started sounding pretty serious as she did. "Idiot..." She continued, shaking her head as she did.
(Switch to -Adrian)
Adrian sat in front of the camera with a curious paw on the bottom of his snout. He was thinking about the conversation he had overheard.
"Now, I know I'm not the most trustworthy guy in the world. And because of that, I know a set up when I see one, and Rebecca is clearly up to something. But for Roxy to just go along with it doesn't make any sense." He started, before shaking his head. "Unless she's on to what Rebecca is trying to do? She's pretty clever when it comes to stuff like that. And admittedly, if that is the case... it's muy caliente." He continued, a grin curving in his face as he did.
(Confessional End)
(With Katy)
Katy was currently sitting alone on the steps of the Losers' Cabin. She just hadn't really felt like doing much today.
She had considered trying to find Randy to talk to him, but at the same time, she assumed he was probably with Rebecca, and she was the very last person Katy wanted to see at that moment.
She let out a sigh as she closed her eyes and shook her head. At this point, she still didn't know what she was going to do. The main thing she did know, however is that she wanted Rebecca GONE. She was purposely causing problems just to cause them. It was old, and annoying.
That's when the kangaroo began to grow angry. Rebecca was doing all of this to spite her. She knew from the day they got there that she wanted her out of way so she could try and slide back into Randy's life like nothing ever happened. And she wasn't going to let that happen. So even if she did end up getting eliminated, she knew she was going to take Rebecca with her. No way would she let her hurt Randy again.
She finally stared up, glaring ahead towards the trees ahead of the cabin. She clenched her fists before shaking her head again.
(Air Horn Blows)
"All competitors meet me on the beach for today's challenge!" Marionette's voice rang over the intercom. Katy continued glaring ahead as she finished, almost as if she hadn't heard anything that he had said.
Her head shaking finally slowed to a stop as she closed her eyes and took a deep breath. Sure, she was angry. But she knew she needed to regain herself before heading into this challenge. Her team couldn't afford two losses in a row.
She managed to force the scowl off of her face before standing up and heading towards the beach for the challenge.
(Confessional -Katy)
Katy sat in front of the camera with a pretty sour expression on her face. Just thinking about Rebecca at this point put that look on her face.
"Rebecca can think all she wants that this is going to end well for her. But it's not. Even if it costs me the game, there is NO WAY I'm going to let her hurt Randy again. I refuse." She started, before shaking her head. "If a fight is really what she wants... then a fight is what I'm going to give her." She continued, her anger clearly returning as she did.
(Confessional End)
Considering how close she was to the beach, Katy was one of the first to arrive. Surprising to her, both Carson and Carly were already there.
As she approached them, She immediately took notice to Carson's annoyance. And apparently, despite her best efforts to hide it, he took notice to hers.
"Who made you mad?" She asked once she reached the pair.
"Goldie." Carson replied, his annoyance still present. "You?" He said curiously.
"Rebecca's existence." Katy replied, her distain for the female raccoon being clear as day. Carson nodded in understanding in response. Carly glanced over at the two very obviously annoyed competitors but didn't say anything.
After that, it wasn't long before the others started filing in. Betty, Doug and Freddy, Randy with Rebecca close behind him, Roxy wasn't too far behind them. Adrian walked up after her, glancing at her, before looking toward Rebecca, who was currently giving Randy, who was completely uninterested, lovey dovey eyes. Carson heard a low growl next to him. He looked over and saw Katy angrily glaring at the female raccoon, clenching her fists as she did.
He eventually turned his attention away from her when Goldie walked up. That's when the annoyance returned to his face, and Freddy immediately took notice since it obviously had something to do with his brother. He let out a sigh knowing that that was going to be something else he was going to have to take care of.
Like usual, Lefty was the last to arrive. Doug stared him down as he walked up. He slowly looked towards the dog, a crooked smile on his face as he did. He gave him a small wave, not saying a word as he did. Doug didn't look impressed.
"Goooood morning, competitors!" Marionette exclaimed as he, Nightmare, and Jackson walked up. "Ahh, and it's good to see all of you are actually here on time today. Bravo." He continued. After having his later comment ignored, he continued. "So, today's challenge is going to be... another fun one." He said through a very obviously faked enthusiasm.
"Meaning it's another ''safe'' one?" Freddy said curiously. With a very pouty look on his face, Marionette replied with a nod.
"Yeah..." he wasn't happy about it. Jackson seemed pretty happy, though.
"A-as long as C-Carson doesn't get hurt again, I-I don't care what the challenge is." Carly shyly spoke up, getting the others to look at her. She blushed and looked away in embarrassment as they did. Carson, however, looked over at her, a smile on his face.
"Don't say that! That was the most fun I've had since Mr. Buzzkill got here!" Marionette exclaimed towards the cat, startling her. After, he immediately looked back towards Jackson, who was shaking his head.
"Hey, if Buzzkill is going to keep you from killing us, I'm all for him being here." Randy spoke up. Most of the others nodded in agreement as small amounts of rambling picked up. Annoyed by this, Marionette decided to move on.
"W-whatever!" He exclaimed. "Anyways, today's challenge is going to be a game all about balance, and the most interesting part, who can knock their opponent off of that beam over there into that leftover orange slime from the Star Wars challenge a couple seasons ago... that may or may not have some angry eels in it." He explained, muttering the last part so Jackson didn't hear him.
"Not the orange slime again. It took me ages to get all of that out of my fur last time." Freddy said, facepalming and shaking his head as he did. Goldie let out a low snicker at his brothers expense.
"Well, don't lose again and that won't happen." Marionette said.
"Yeah, just hope you don't have to fight me." Goldie spoke up, getting his brother to look up at him, slightly annoyed by his comment.
(Confessional -Freddy)
Freddy sat in front of the camera still pretty upset about the orange slime making a return.
"Man, I didn't think I would ever have to deal with that slime again. That first time was bad enough. Now you're telling me that it MAY happen again? Horrible." He started, before shaking his head. "The only thing I know is regardless of whether I lose, or not, my team needs this win. So even if it isn't mean that gets it for them, I'll support whomever does all the way." He continued, nodding as he did.
(Switch to -Lefty)
Lefty sat in front of the camera slowly rocking back and forth.
"Little doggy is going to go for a swim in the orange slime." He said before his unsettling laughter began.
(Switch to - Katy)
Katy sat with a scowl on her face and her fists clenched harder than she had ever clenched them before.
"I HOPE I get Rebecca." She said angrily.
(Confessional End)
Everyone was currently standing around the large pool where the beam was placed. It looked like it was maybe ten feet deep, so it could have been worse. But it indeed was filled to the brim with that orange slime Freddy hated so much. He cringed at the sight.
They weren't waiting too long before Nightmare walked up with two pugil sticks: a red one and a blue one.
"Alrighty! Now I've picked your opponents based heavily on how things have played out so far this season. Yes! I have been watching." Marionette said. This piqued the competitors interests, especially Katy. She was really hoping she knew what that meant. "First round in this tournament style battle is going to be Hero Carson vs Villain Goldie." He continued. As he did, Nightmare tossed the heavy padded poles into the two chosen competitors hands/paws.
A small smirk grew on Goldie's face as he looked over at Carson, who didn't look at all happy with the bear.
"I-it's okay, Carson. You can beat him." Carly spoke up next to him. He continued staring at the bear for several seconds, before looking back at the cat standing next to him. He gave her a single nod, determined not to let her down.
After, the others watched as the two competitors climbed the ladders on either side of pool, getting into place for the challenge to start.
Once they were in place, they stood staring at each other ready for Marionette to start the challenge.
"Annnnnd... FIGHT!" Marionette yelled through his bullhorn.
"Come on. Let's go." Carson said as he lifted his stick. Goldie chuckled. Carson didn't like that too much.
He quickly swung his stick towards the bear, but had his shot blocked as Goldie shoved him backwards. The smirk he had on his face was mocking at this point. The match had only just started and he felt like he already had Carson's number.
He allowed Carson to swing again, once again blocking it and shoving him backwards, before swinging his own stick. He was somewhat surprised when Carson blocked it. He was honestly expecting to be able to take him out in one shot.
An annoyed scowl formed on the bear's face as he swung his stick for a second time. Carson once again blocked him. The two stared at each other in silence. It was the first battle in the first round, neither one of them wanted to be the first to drop the ball for their team.
Carly stood on the ground staring up at the ensuing battle. She knew Carson could beat Goldie. She believed it.
Back on the platform, Goldie once again swung his stick towards Carson, this time able to hit him. Luckily for Carson, though, he didn't hit him hard enough to knock him off of the thin platform. This annoyed the bear. He let out an annoyed growl before swinging his stick once again. This time Carson was able to duck the swing. A small smile formed on Carly's face as he did.
However, what Carson made the mistake in doing was glancing back at Carly and responding with a smile of his own. This distracted him long enough for Goldie to swing his stick and whack him right in the side of the head.
And that was it.
He dizzily fell off of the platform and into the orange slime. Carly gasped as it happened. Goldie stood there, smirking down at him as he popped up out of the slime.
"Tough break. Maybe don't take you eyes off the prize next time." He said in a pretty mocking tone.
Even though he was still feeling the effects from the shot to the head, Carson still managed to stare up at the bear in annoyance.
(Confessional -Carson)
Carson, who was now covered in orange slime, sat in front of the camera in both annoyance, and disappointment.
"Fine, I'll take the blame for that one. I took my eyes off of Goldie for two seconds. That was my fault. He got... lucky. That's it." Carson said, before shaking his head and looking away. "Lucky..." he repeated, this time more softly.
(Confessional End)
After fishing Carson out of the slime, they moved on to the next battle. This time it was Betty taking on Cheek.
The two females climbed the ladders to the platform, where they stood face to face ready for Marionette to start the battle.
"And... FIGHT!" He yelled through his bullhorn. This was actually becoming more entertaining than he originally thought it was going to be.
Cheek and Betty continued to stare at each other even after the start of the battle. Betty had a huge smile on her face for some reason, and Cheek didn't understand why.
"Why are you smiling?" She asked, raising her stick as she did. Betty was out there, she didn't know if she had something planned. She needed to be safe just in case.
"Because! This is fun, isn't it?!" Betty exclaimed happily. "Let's fight!" She exclaimed as she rapidly began swinging her stick at the chicken. Cheek was doing pretty well when it came to blocking her shots.
The more rapid her swings got, the more annoyed Cheek got. Eventually she managed to catch her stick right in the middle of her own, and shove her back. What Cheek didn't notice was when she did, Betty twitched. Her fur spiked up as she did, her smile instantly being replaced with a scowl.
Cheek finally swung her own stick but had it quickly blocked. She reared it back and swung again, but once again had it blocked. At that point, the rabbit seemed to have had enough. As Cheek went to swing again, Ivy ducked down and nailed her right in the knee with her stick, before shooting right back up and jabbing her in the gut with it, pushing her off of the platform and into the orange slime.
Brent watched on pretty disappointed. Sure he knew Betty was on his team, not Cheek. But he was still hoping Cheek would have won that match.
"Oh! And The Villains are now up two to zero!" Marionette yelled through his bullhorn. Again, he was beginning to grow more interested in the challenge now that people were getting taken out.
(Confessional -Betty)
Ivy sat in front of the camera that same scowl on her face from before.
"Told the chicken to stay out of my way. She wouldn't listen. She'll regret that decision." Ivy said in a very threatening tone.
(Confessional End)
Like with Carson, after they fished Cheek out of the orange slime, Marionette announced the next two competitors: Doug and Lefty.
The two reached the top of the platform and stood there just staring at each other. Lefty's crooked smile remaining on his face, while a more serious demeanor took over Doug.
After Marionette announced the start of the match, Lefty was quick to take the first swing. Luckily for Doug, his quick reflexes allowed him to duck the shot. He quickly shot back up, his and Lefty's eyes meeting once again.
"Almost down, Little Doggy." Lefty spoke, laughing as he finished. Doug snarled at him as he did. He was really beginning to get under the dog's skin.
Doug quickly swung his stick towards the bear, but he backed up, dodging it. But Doug wasn't going to give up, so he swung it again, and when Lefty dodged that swing, he swung it again.
But Lefty just kept dodging them. Swing after swing, getting dodged. But a huge mistake Doug was making was he was wearing himself out by doing this.
Once he finally began to slow his swings, Lefty reared his stick back as far as he could, ready to nail Doug with it. But as he swung it, Doug ducked down, before jabbing the bear in the ribs and pushing him into the orange slime. The Heros cheered as he did.
Lefty popped up from the lava with a wide eyed surprised look on his face. Doug tiredly stood on the platform staring down at him.
(Confessional -Lefty)
An orange slime covered Lefty was sat in front of the camera with a frown on his face. It looked like he was about to say something, but he didn't. Instead he just began laughing.
(Confessional End)
After Lefty dragged himself out of the orange slime, Marionette announced the next two competitors: Brent and Randy. They were both somewhat surprised by this, but they were ready to do what they had to.
The two males got in position and waited for Marionette to announce the start of their fight.
"Good luck." Brent said as he stared across the platform at his raccoon friend. Randy nodded.
"Luck to you too." He replied. After, Marionette announced the start of their battle and they both immediately took a swing at each other, blocking each other's shots in the process. A small smirk grew on Randy's face as they did.
He looked like he was about to say something, but it was just a way to try and distract Brent. Instead he tried to swing his stick towards the other side, but Brent managed to quickly block it. He let out of his stick with one hand and began to wave his finger at Randy in a "no, no, no" kinda way.
Randy immediately wiped the smirk off of his face after that. He knew that if he was going to beat Brent he was going to have to get serious. So he did.
He quickly reared his stick back and swung it towards the falcon again, but once again had it blocked. After that, it was Brent's turn to attack. He tried to go for Randy's knees, but was too slow on that one. As Randy was distracted with making sure he didn't get his legs chopped out from underneath him, Brent quickly rammed his stick upwards, nailing the raccoon in the chest and sending him stumbling backwards.
Randy quickly managed to regain himself as Brent threw another shot at him. He swung his own stick back to defend himself, but once again had it dodged. After, the two males paused, breathing heavily as they stared at each other. They gave each other approving nods before once again swinging at each other, but again, blocking each other's shots.
After blocking them once again, Randy quickly shoved Brent's stick upwards, before doing a quick spin ready hopefully hit him in the gut and send him off of the platform. Unfortunately for him though, it didn't happen like that.
Brent was quick to reposition his stick. He managed to swing it and nail Randy with it right as he completed his spin. This hit him hard enough to send him flying off of the platform and into the orange slime. He popped up out of it several seconds later, pretty surprised by what had just happened.
"And Brent now picks up the third win of the first round for The Villains!" Marionette exclaimed. As he finished, Brent kneeled down and stuck his hand out to Randy, who was beginning to struggle to stay afloat in the slime. Randy looked up at him and hesitated at first, but ended up taking his hand, allowing him to pull him up to the platform.
(Confessional -Randy)
The orange slime covered Randy was sat in front of the camera with his arms crossed.
"Brent won. I'm not mad or anything. I slipped up, and he took advantage of it. I tried to do the same thing. It's... whatever." He said, shrugging as he did.
(Confessional End)
After that one, Carly and Adrian were next. Like the competitors before them, they reached the top of the platform and stood staring at each other until Marionette started the battle.
Adrian stood with a rather relaxed smile on his face. He very obviously thought that this one was going to be a breeze. Carly however, didn't agree with him on that one.
"Now personally, I think you should just go ahead and climb into the slime and give up. I don't really want to fight you." Adrian spoke in his usual fake-friendly tone. Carly hesitated, but ended up shaking her head.
"N-no." She replied. This somewhat surprised the wolf.
"Hmm." He raised an eyebrow.
"I-I'm not giving up." Carly spoke. Her soft, timid demeanor still remained as she did. A frown made its way onto Adrian's face as he shook his head.
"Well then, friend, I hate to have to put a soft little kitty like you down, but in order to win, it's necessary." He spoke, raising his stick as he did.
Carly raised hers next, weakly swinging it towards the wolf, who easily blocked it. She repeated it two more times, having it blocked both. Adrian shook his head at her after.
"Please, just... stop. I don't want to have to hurt you." He said, obviously insinuating that she was weak. This promoted her to swing at him again. He once again easily blocked it.
The other Villains were confused as to what Adrian was even doing. They saw he was easily blocking her shots, but he wasn't even trying to hit her back. It was something they had never seen from him before.
"You can do this, Carly." Carson said quietly to himself as he stood on the ground watching.
Carly continued to throw her swings, and Adrian just continued to block them. Eventually he decided it was time to end it.
"I'm sorry my feline friend, but the show needs to move on." Adrian spoke after blocking another one of her shots. Afterwards, he reared his stick back ready to strike, but before he could, in a last ditch effort, Carly swung her stick back, before swinging and nailing Adrian right in the side sending him stumbling over the edge of the platform and into the slime.
Carson cheered loudly as he watched it happen. Carly stood still, pretty surprised that she had just done that. Adrian popped up from the orange slime, shocked himself that that had just happened.
"I-I'm s-sorry." Carly apologized as she stared down at the wolf.
(Confessional -Adrian)
The now slime covered Adrian said in front of the camera, pretty unamused with his loss.
"I have again disappointed my familia with an embarrassing loss to someone as soft and minuscule as Carly." He started, before looking down. "Aye. For shame." He continued, shaking his head as he did.
(Confessional End)
After making his way out of the orange slime and climbing down off of the platform, Adrian began his walk back towards his teammates. He and Roxy made eye contact as he passed her. She was always glad to see him get taken down a notch. She enjoyed it.
"Alright! And next up we have Katy taking on... Rebecca." Marionette announced. Katy was surprised at first. But it didn't last too long before a somewhat wicked smile slowly began to form on her face. Rebecca looked over at her as it did. She didn't look amused with the kangaroo.
Katy was quick to grab her stick and climb to the top of the platform. But Rebecca took her own sweet time getting up there. Sure, she wanted to take Katy out. But at the same time she also knew Katy was chomping at the bits to do the same to her.
But she did eventually reach the top. The wicked smile that has remained on Katy's face caused her to respond with a glare. The two females were now left standing on the platform waiting for Marionette to start the battle.
"This is going to be fun." Marionette said to Nightmare, who nodded in response. Jackson had overheard this comment, and again, didn't look too amused with it. "Annnnnnd fight!" He yelled through his bullhorn.
Katy took no hesitation after he started it. She quickly swung her stick as hard as she could at the raccoon, who was luckily able to duck it. If she wouldn't have, she was almost sure it would have taken her head off.
Katy was angry. She had so much pent up frustration when it came to Rebecca that it wasn't even funny. Her quick, powerful swings continued, but Rebecca kept managing to dodge them, even if it was just barely.
Eventually though, she did manage to get in a couple swings of her own, sending the angry kangaroo backwards. The pure distain the two held for each other was on another level. They weren't holding anything back with their swings. It seemed like they were actually trying to take each other out.
Even with all the padding on the sticks, they were swinging them so hard that the sound when they collided could be heard from a mile away. The other competitors were honestly both surprised, and disturbed by this.
They got a couple more heavy swings in until they finally reared their sticks back at the same time, and swung them towards each other on opposite sides. They managed to hit each other in the side of the heads, momentarily knocking each other senseless. This caused them to both fall side ways and into opposite sides of the orange slime. They had just taken each other out.
Everyone else stood in silence after it happened. They had managed to hit each other so hard that even Marionette winced at the sound the sticks made on impact.
"And that seems like a double K.O. to me... so I guess it's a tie." He said. "That means, Heros, its up to Freddy to tie this one up in the next battle against Roxy to send this challenge into a second round. If Roxy wins, The Villains will take this challenge." He explained. This put a lot of pressure on Freddy's shoulders. He looked over at Roxy, who seemed rather happy about the news.
After the crew fished the still pretty out of it Rebecca and Katy out of the slime, Freddy and Roxy took their sticks and made their way to the top. Freddy's whole descent up there he was thinking about how if he didn't beat her, his team was going to lose again. His teammates were counting on him to get this win. He couldn't let them down... not again.
Again, unlike Freddy, Roxy seemed pretty relaxed about the challenge. Alls she had to do was beat him to get the win for her team? Easy. She could do that. She knew she could. She would.
Once they reached the platform, they weren't waiting long before Marionette started the battle. After he did, they stared at each other for several seconds, before they both took a swing at one another. Their swings blocked each other.
They pulled their sticks back before trying it once again. And just like before, they blocked each other. After they pulled them back again, they stood there, again, staring at each other. That's when Roxy tried to take advantage of it. She quickly reared her stick back and tried to jam Freddy in the side with it, but he was quick when it came to dodging it.
After dodging it, he smacked it to the side with his own, before quickly swinging it to the side and smacking her in the shoulder with it. Roxy stumbled to the side, but he didn't hit her hard enough for her to lose her balance and fall. She was pretty relieved about that.
However her relief didn't last long. Right as she regained her balance, Freddy took another swing at her. She managed to duck that one, but not the next as he swung it back. This time he did hit her hard enough to knock her off of the platform. The Heros cheered once again as Freddy guaranteed them a second round.
Roxy popped up from under the orange slime, letting out an annoyed and angry scream as she did. She couldn't believe she had let that happen.
(Confessional -Freddy)
Freddy sat in front of the camera with a small smile on his face. He beat Roxy and made it into the second round.
"Alright, I'm honestly very happy about that one. Because of that win, we aren't getting knocked out of the challenge in the first round. Sure, we've still got a battle ahead of us if we're going to win this one, but I think we can do it." He said, sounding pretty optimistic as he did.
(Confessional End)
After Roxy angrily exited the slime pit and made her way back down to the ground, she stormed past the other competitors heading towards the cabin so she could take a shower and try to get the slime off of her. Marionette was annoyed by this considering they were still in the middle of a challenge, but with how angry she was at that moment, he didn't want to push his luck by try to make her stay.
"Alright! And with Freddy's win for the Heros, we now move into round 2 with our first battle being Betty taking on Doug" Marionette started. "But for this round, we're going to be shaking it up a bit. Not only will the platform be shaking, but two competitors from each team are going to be give one of these nice t-shirt launchers and a few shirts to fire wherever, and at whomever they'd like." He continued with a smile.
"Hey, this is the first I'm hearing about the t-shirt launcher part. That wasn't part of the challenge." Jackson interjected himself. Marionette looked at him, but didn't seem to care enough to give him a response. Instead he motioned for Nightmare to hand out the launchers and shirts as Betty and Doug made their way up to the platform.
The two stood there ready for the battle to start. Several seconds passed before the platform they were on started shaking. This almost right away sent them staggering. They were lucky they didn't both fall in the slime.
"And... fight!" Marionette yelled afterwards.
Doug went in for the first swing, not realizing Betty's fur was still spiked up. Ivy... was waiting for that. She immediately blocked his shot before hitting him in the shoulder. That hit almost ended it for him right there. But he was able to regain himself rather quickly.
He swung his stick again, this time returning the favor to her. The shaky platform was making it harder for them to get good hits in because they were also trying to stay focused on not falling.
Adrian, who stood on the ground with one of the t-shirt guns, fired the first shot towards them. The t-shirt he fired flew right past Ivy's head. She didn't look even the slightest bit pleased about that.
After almost getting taken out by her own partner, Ivy went for another swing. Doug managed to block this one though, before going for one of his own. It wasn't very effective.
At this point though, Ivy seemed like she was getting pretty annoyed with the dog. She tried to chop his legs out from underneath it, but he managed to jump to avoid it, and somehow quickly regain his footing. The Heros cheered when they saw this. Ivy let out a low growl before swinging again. This time she managed to smack him right in the side of the head.
With the shaky platform, he dizzily began trying to regain himself once more. As Ivy stood there ready to hit him with the final blow, Cheek, who also had one of the t-shirt launchers, fired a shirt. As Ivy hit Doug once again, Cheek managed to nail Ivy with the shirt, sending both competitors falling off of the platform and into the orange slime. Marionette laughed as they did.
"Ooh! And it looks like another double loss!" He exclaimed. If Roxy was there, she definitely would have been fuming. "And now on to our next battle: Carly will be taking on... Goldie!" He exclaimed. A grin formed on the bear's face as he shook his head in amusement. He clearly wasn't taking Carly seriously, and she could tell.
"Easy win." He said as he snatched one of the sticks, before making his way to the ladder and up to the platform. Carly was getting ready to begin her walk there, but was stopped before she made it far.
"Carly, hey." The still slime covered Carson said as he quickly approached her. She stopped and looked at him as he did. "You can beat him. Don't let him get to you." He assured her. She gave him a small, yet somewhat unsure smile, before nodding.
"I'm... going to try." She said.
"Good luck." Carson said with a smile. Carly's nervously blushed, before looking away. She gave him one more nervous nod before turning and making her way to the ladder. She took a deep breath before she began to climb it. Goldie was already waiting at the top ready to get this one over with.
Once Carly got there, she slowly made her way towards the middle, Goldie stood staring at her as she did. The smirk he had on his face said it all.
"I'm going to give you one chance before this thing starts to just give up." He said. A frown formed on the cat's face as she slowly shook her head.
"N-no." She replied. Goldie rolled his eyes at her response.
"Look, I'm trying to be the good guy here. I don't want to hurt you. You're so small... and weak. There's no sense in you trying to be the hero." He said. This only seemed to get to the cat even more. She stood there a minute deciding not to respond. Goldie sighed at this. "Alright, but remember, I offered you a way to avoid this." He said, raising his stick as he did.
Carly backed up and did the same. After that, Marionette started the battle.
"Ya know what, since I'm such a nice guy, I'll let you take the first swing, hows that sound?" Goldie said curiously. Carly seemed to take that as an insult. But she did take him up on his offer. She swung her stick, only to have it easily blocked. He laughed in response. As he laughed, that's when the platform started to shake. "Alright, take another shot. Again, it's on me." He said, offering her another free shot.
Carson stood on the ground, watching Carly intently. Goldie was clearly getting to her.
Again, Carly swung at the bear, but for a second time, he easily blocked it. He didn't do it hard, but he knocked her back with his after her second attempt.
Carson saw he was about to smack her with his stick, but Carson took the t-shirt launcher out of Cheek's hands, and quickly fired a shirt at the bear. He managed to hit his stick as he was getting ready to swing it. This distracted him long enough for Carly to finally get a hit in on him. But he managed to quickly regain himself before quickly swinging his stick and hitting the cat, knocking her off of the platforms. He was clearly done with the games after she got that hit in.
"No!" Carson exclaimed as he watched.
Goldie stepped towards the edge of the platform and looked down into the slime as Carly popped up.
"You're too soft for this game. You should have just given up like I wanted you to." He said down to her as she tried to keep herself afloat. She looked down, his words obviously having gotten to her.
(Confessional -Carly)
Carly sat in front of the camera staring down at the floor. She didn't even bother looking up at as she began.
"S-soft. W-weak. T-too nice. P-pathetic." She was sitting there naming off everything she had been repeatedly called since she had been on the show. Rather it be by Baron, or Ray, or Adrian, or Goldie. "M-maybe I don't belong here..." she said, still not looking up at the camera.
(Confessional End)
Carly had made her way out of the slime and back down to the ground. She was slowly making her way towards her teammates when Carson approached her.
"Are you okay?" He asked, clearly worried.
"I'm... fine." She replied as she kept walking.
"Hey, are you sure?" Carson said curiously as he ran around her, blocking her path. He was worried about her.
"Y-yes. I just... n-need to be by myself." She replied. Carson stared at her clearly worried for several more seconds, before nodding in understanding and stepping out of her way. She didn't say anything else as she kept walking. Carson just stood there watching her walk away.
Meanwhile, Freddy and Brent hadn't really wasted any time getting into position for their next battle. Again, this was a win or lose situation for Freddy. If he lost, The Villains would automatically take the win. But if he won, he would have the chance to go up against his brother of all people, and try and get the challenge win.
The two of them stood there staring at each other, sticks in feathered hands/paws, as Marionette started the challenge. Once he did, they both took a swing at each other. They managed to hit each other, but not hard enough to really do much.
They were getting ready to swing at each other again as the platform started shaking. As that happened, Goldie fired a t-shirt, trying to take his brother out early. He missed though.
Randy saw this and took his opportunity to fire a t-shirt of his own. He didn't personally want to take Brent out. But it was a challenge so... he had to. He fired a t-shirt, but missed.
After dodging Randy's shirt fire, Brent took another swing at Freddy. He almost lost his footing as he did, but was able to hold on. His shot hit the bear, but it didn't do much of anything to him.
After getting hit, Freddy took a quick swing towards Brent, who blocked it. He quickly tried to reply with another swing of his own, but had it blocked.
As they continued to swing at each other, Adrian fired another t-shirt. He managed to smack Freddy in the shoulder with it, allowing for an opening for Brent.
Once Freddy grabbed his shoulder in pain, Brent took another hard swing at the bear hoping to take him out this time. Freddy felt himself begin to fall. He was wobbling trying to keep himself up, but felt pretty stunned after that last hit.
Brent reared his stick back and swung it at the bear again figuring this would end it, but in a shocking twist, Freddy managed to duck that one, before quickly ramming his stick into Brent's gut and pushing him off of the platform. He again almost fell as he did. But luckily for him, he was able to continue to keep his balance.
Brent popped up out of the orange slime pretty disappointed.
"And with that! Freddy has guaranteed an ultimate final battle between he and his villainous brother, Goldie!" Marionette yelled through his bullhorn. Freddy remained standing on the platform taking in at that he was once again about to have to fight his brother using a stick, above orange slime.
(Confessional -Freddy)
Freddy sat in front of the camera nodding his head. He was ready to fight his brother.
"There was definitely a lot on the line in that battle with Brent. I'm glad I didn't let my team down on that one. But having to fight Goldie really reminds me of the Star Wars challenge back in seasons two where the slime came from. That one ended badly for me. I'm hoping things are different this time." Freddy said.
(Confessional End)
Freddy and Goldie were now standing on the platform face to face, pugil sticks in paws, ready to start the battle.
Goldie stood with somewhat of a smirk on his face. He was definitely proud of himself for making it so far in the challenge. Freddy on the other hand remained pretty serious about the challenge. He knew he needed to stay focused if he was going to beat his brother.
"Annnnd... FIGHT!" Marionette yelled through his bullhorn. He barely got to finish before Goldie took a hard swing at his brother. Freddy luckily managed to block it. As he blocked it, the platform started shaking.
Goldie backed up before taking another hard swing at Freddy, who once again blocked it.
"You aren't going to beat me, brother." He said, as he tried to forced Freddy over the side. Through gritted teeth, Freddy managed to shove his brother backwards.
"I won't lose to you again, Goldie. I can't." He replied, before finally returning a swing towards the yellow furred bear. Goldie blocked it before once again shoving his brother back.
As Freddy stumbled, Goldie took a hard swing at him, but luckily for him, he was quick enough to duck. He quickly jumped back up before throwing his own swing back at his brother. He managed to hit him, sending him slightly stumbling back.
Goldie quickly shook off the dizziness. His confident smirk had pretty much been wiped off of his face at this point. He took another swing at his brother, but again had it blocked. He let out a low annoyed growl at this. He reared his stick back ready to roughly swing again, when out of nowhere, he got hit right in the side with a t-shirt. He yelled in pain at the impact.
Randy, who had fired the shirt, got a good laugh out of that.
Goldie had thrown the paw he was still holding his stick up in as he got hit. This gave Freddy the opportunity to swing his stick and smack it out of his paw sending it into the orange slime. Goldie stood there in both pain and surprise as his brother pressed his stick against his chest. The Heros cheered as he did.
"Goodbye, brother." Freddy said, a smirk of his own growing this time, as he used his stick to push his brother over the side and into the orange slime. The Heros' cheers continued as he did.
"And it looks like Freddy has defeated Goldie and claimed victory for The Heros!" Marionette exclaimed. Freddy felt proud of hearing that. He stood on the platform, his stick still in his paw, as he looked down at Goldie, who looked like he was kind of struggling to stay afloat in the slime.
(Confessional -Goldie)
The orange slime covered Goldie sat in front of the camera with his arms crossed, and a pretty pouty expression on his face. He was annoyed about the loss he suffered to his brother.
"Freddy... he got lucky. He hardly ever beats me in anything, and when he does... it's always by pure luck." Goldie started, before shaking his head. "And now with this stupid orange slime all over me, it's going to take me forever to get it all out of my fur, just like it did Freddy when I knocked him into it a couple-" he was saying, before stopping when he thought he realized something. "-Freddy did this to get back at me. Yeah! He's still mad about me doing it to him so he decide he was going to make sure he did it to me! That's exactly what his motivations were! I know it!" He exclaimed, a more annoyed frown beginning to takeover the pouty one.
(Switch to -Roxy)
Roxy, with her now orange fur, sat in front of the camera with her arms crossed and a very annoyed look on her face.
"*Bleep* this stupid *Bleep* game." She said. She very obviously wasn't in a good mood.
(Switch to -Lefty)
Lefty, still covered in orange slime, sat slowly rocking back and forth in front of the camera. For some reason, he had a smile on his face.
"Little doggy got very lucky today. But luck won't always be on his side. He will take a fall. A hard, hard... fall." Lefty said before he began laughing.
(Switch to -Rebecca)
Rebecca sat in front of the camera with an ice pack pressed against her head.
"Katy... will NOT get away with that. I was supposed to win that challenge to impress Randy, not get taken out in the first round by... by HER!" The fuming Rebecca exclaimed.
(Switch to -Brent)
Brent sat in front of the camera, arms resting at his side. He sighed, before shrugging.
"Well, orange feathers AND a loss. The only thing that could make this any worse is if I get voted off tonight. After just coming back, THAT would stink." He said.
(Switch to -Adrian)
Adrian sat in front of the camera with his right knee up in front of him, and his right arm resting over top of it. He was annoyed, but seemed to be less annoyed than the others.
"*Sigh* Perhaps maybe I shouldn't have belittled Carly like I did. She has been doing pretty well in challenges lately. Maybe she'd be more useful as a teammate than the ones I'm actually stuck teaming with." Adrian said as he thought about what he had just said. "...or maybe not." He continued, shrugging as he did.
(Switch to -Betty)
Ivy sat in front of the camera with an annoyed scowl on her face.
"Can't count on those morons for anything." She said, shaking her head. "But I saw who shot me with that t-shirt. Cheek... you'll regret that. I promise you." She continued, her voice sounding pretty treating. After, she sat in silence for several seconds before twitching. "Whoa! What happened there? Last thing I remember was falling out of a tree! I was like ''Whoa!'' and Brent and Cheek were like ''Ahhh!'' *Laughter* Good times." Betty finished as she brushed the fur on the top of her head back down.
(Confessional End)
(At Bonfire Ceremony)
The still orange Villains were currently sitting around the Bonfire Pit pretty angry about their loss. Roxy more so than the others considering they were going to have to move back into the Losers Cabin.
"You really couldn't beat your brother? You've done it before." The vixen said in annoyance, looking towards Goldie.
"Hey! You couldn't either." The bear said in defense. Roxy's annoyance grew as she quickly looked away from him. She really didn't have anything else to say after that. She lost to Freddy, too.
"Good evening, Villains. Welcome to the most dramatic part of all of our shows, the Bonfire Ceremony!" Marionette exclaimed as he, Nightmare, and Jackson walked up. "You all seem to be in a pretty... slimy mood after your loss tonight. Orangeya?" He continued, his cringeworthy jokes almost getting the show cancelled. "Come on. That's funny!" He exclaimed. The Villains remained silent, so he looked over at Nightmare, who was disapprovingly shaking his head.
"Horrible." Was all he said. This caused Marionette to frown.
"You guys just don't understand good comedy." He said, before quickly shaking his head. "Anyway. Now tonight, I have six breadsticks on this plate, however, there are seven of you. So! What that means is if you don't receive a breadstick, you must take the dreaded walk, all the way down the Dock of Shame, where you will be sent flying by our amazing Cannon of Losers!" He exclaimed. The Cannon always brought his optimism back, regardless of the situation. "Now, if no one has anything to say, we'll get to the first breadstick, which is going to... Adrian." He called, before tossing Adrian the first breadstick. A small smile made its way onto his face as he caught it. Roxy didn't seem too amused by that.
"Next up we have... Roxy." Marionette called as he tossed the vixen a breadstick. She caught it, but still looked very annoyed.
"Lefty and Goldie, the two of you are also safe." Marionette called before tossing the two bears breadsticks. This left three competitors sitting there breadstickless: Brent, Betty, and Rebecca.
"Annnnd... Rebecca." Marionette finally called as he tossed the female raccoon a breadstick. "Brent, Betty, one of you two is GONE!" He continued, looking towards the two competitors who still sat without breadsticks.
(Dramatic Music Starts Playing)
Brent sat actually pretty nerved up about this. He had just gotten back, was he really about to be booted already? But Betty, she looked a lot more relaxed than Brent did. She was still kind of nervous, but her smile remained.
(Music Gets More Dramatic)
Brent had pretty much remained sitting on the edge of his seat, watching Marionette slowly move the final breadstick back and forth. He had been doing his best to try and at least act not as nervous as he actually was.
Betty, on the other hand, continued to smile along like nothing was going on. No one had any idea why she looked so calm about it. She was in the bottom two! Possibly about to lose out on winning a million dollars. But still, she wasn't showing any signs of worry.
"And the final breadstick of the night goes to..." Marionette started, before stopping as he continued to slowly move the last breadstick back and forth between the two competitors.
As he said this, Brent couldn't help but think about Cheek. He dropped in on her unexpectedly, and just as quick as he showed up, he may be sent home. How would she take that?
And Betty...? She was still sitting there with a relaxed smile on her face.
"Hmmm..." Marionette hummed as he finally slowed the breadstick to a stop in between the two competitors. "...Brent." He finally said, before tossing the VERY relieved falcon a breadstick. "Betty, and yes, I do mean BETTY, you're done." He finished, looking towards the rabbit as he did.
(Elimination Music Starts Playing)
"Huh...?" Betty sat on her tree stump in confusion. "I'm out?" She said curiously. Marionette nodded.
"Yep." He replied.
"Oh... okay." Betty said, before standing up and beginning her walk towards the dock. As she made her way there, she twitched, her fur spiking up as she did.
She stopped, before staring ahead at Nightmare, who had beat her there. A small, sinister smirk made its way onto her face as she continued on her way.
"Welcome to the dock of Shame, now get in the Cannon of Losers." Nightmare said in a pretty uninterested tone.
"Yes, sir." Ivy spoke, masking her own rude tone with Betty's.
She slowly walked towards the cannon and acted like she was about to climb in, when she stopped.
"Uh... Mr. Nightmare. There's something in there blocking my way." Ivy said.
"What? What are you talking about?!" Nightmare asked as he shoved past her and stuck his head inside the cannon to look. "There ain't nothin' in here!" He exclaimed. Ivy took this as her opportunity to smack him in the butt with a boat paddle, sending him inside of the cannon. "Ahh!!! Hey! What do ya think you're doin'?!" The bear yelled angrily as he tried to free himself. Ivy ignored him as she lit the cannon.
Several seconds passed before a loud boom shook the dock.
"AHHHHH!!!!" Nightmare yelled as he was blasted out of the cannon. Ivy stood there watching with a smirk on her face as he flew into the distance, before twinkling into a star on the sky.
After, she jumped into the lake, ducking under the dock as Marionette and Jackson approached.
"Aww come on! He didn't wait to send her away?!" Marionette exclaimed in annoyance.
"He's gone, too. Weird." Jackson spoke.
"Yeah! Coward ran away because he knew I would have shoved my foot up his-" Marionette started, before stopping as he looked over and saw the ''Watch it'' look Jackson was currently giving him. "-I mean, the friendly conversation we would have had about him not waiting for me to get here." He continued through gritted teeth. After, he shook his head, still clearly annoyed. "Whatever. I'm going to bed." He finished, before storming past Jackson and back towards camp. Jackson stared at the cannon for several more seconds, before finally turning and following.
After they were gone, Ivy popped up from underneath the water, her smirk remaining.
"Betty's gone, not Ivy. Wake up Total Drama Fazbear All-Stars, because you haven't gotten rid of me." She said to herself, before letting out a laugh.
And wow, after over a month long absence, that's finally it for chapter 9!
First off I want to explain a couple of things because that's been my longest hiatus since in the middle of a season since I started writing this series.
Most of it stems from personal stuff. Ya know, life plays out like that sometime. Writing wasn't my top priority. But now that this chapter is finally done, I hope that another month long hiatus doesn't happen again.
But regardless, I do hope you enjoyed the chapter. Like the last one, I'm actually pretty happy with the way it came out.
Thank you all for your patience and I will see you in the next one!
