The Grand Ridonculous Race
Chapter 2: Everyone's In The Mersey!
Part 7: The Two Merseysides!
With two more flights were waiting to be filled, there's still many teams that wanted to bring their chance to not lose as hard as they can! Some of them are doing their best and others aren't!
Either way, this isn't the final part, but the next part will definitely be the last part for this episode...which seems to have taken way too long, but nonetheless, it will be over pretty soon!
Once again, I don't any of these characters and they are all owned by their respective copyright holders (Fresh TV, Warner Bros., SNK, Capcom, Sega, Nintendo, Disney to name a few)
The camera was back on, as so was the show.
"Welcome back to the Grand Ridonculous Race, where 22 teams that I consider losers fight to not be the true losers of this race! You know, being the first teams to be eliminated!"
Don was just giving his trademark wide grin, as the host was starting the whole race back up for the last time on this episode.
"Right now, it's time to get back to the singing challenge!"
The treasure hunters and the liberal couple were moving seats and they absolutely encountered each other's personal space.
Or rather, Hayley and Victor Sullivan were just bumping into each other by plain accident.
"Sorry, sir, you look a little lost." Hayley tried her best to not make this awkward.
"No, it's fine, I had to get to the toilet anyways." Victor said, accidentally doing the opposite. "It's just..."
"Just what?"
"You know, you young people have it good."
"That's not exactly true, because the minimum wage isn't enough to rent places in major cities for example." Hayley explained one of the reasons.
"Was just trying to make some good conversation, but okay."
The treasure hunter quickly left the conversation, as the hippie was just sure that it at least managed to have an effect.
But in other news, there was someone that did not expect to make this challenge, even with their abilities to cause not that many problems...with their cross.
"Richter, how are you even able to-" Maria asked, questioning too much.
"We have to..." Richter seriously said.
"Come on, it's a singing challenge! It's no big deal!" Raz yelled, as though singing wouldn't be embarrassing to a lot of people.
"...Of course, you couldn't do without interrupting." Richter just sighed, as the vampire hunter was ready to be on stage. "But you're no singer, either."
"It's REALLY funny!" Raz stopped herself to chuckle at the hunter's utter frustration.
That being said, Richter's cross didn't matter as much as it really did in the short run, as the guy was just up on the stage doing his odd things that a vampire hunter shouldn't really do.
Strangely, the fact he shouldn't really be up there or didn't want to be up there, actually made him more motivated to pass the challenge that he passed.
The similar went for Siegfried, despite the fact that the knight...was a guy with such large armour that his passable singing was just throwing everybody that was in the general vicinity of his performance.
To add to that, passable didn't meant good and Marge and pretty much a lot of contestants understood.
"Holy shit, that is really going to make it? I think it's possible for us to make it." Marge said, as Homer was a little bit dazed.
"What was in that Duff? It seemed unreal." Homer just shook his head. "Oh, whatever."
"I don't think it was-" Marge just butted in.
"Yeah, it was bad." Homer concluded. "I'll wait and then complain."
Gilgamesh got inspired to do his thing, despite the fact that his thing was actually using swords like they were all-purpose things to attack, which isn't wrong.
The burly sword master sung proudly like he was in a war and once again, he just passed with some kind of effort like the knight that was before there.
"Oh, we're done!"
*The Weapon Masters' confessional*
Gilgamesh was just laughing, as Raz just made an awkward chuckle to start off the confessional.
"Hahah, it is good to have some other battles aside from the battles of the sword!" Gilgamesh proclaimed. "Little kangaroo, this is going to be a fruitful."
"It's not the worst thing to be un-frozen for, but I don't see any fights." Raz remarked.
"It's a fight of the soul." Gilgamesh said proudly.
*Confessional cut*
Back in the library, books were being a little more...thrown around than usual, mostly because some of the contestants actually have had enough of reading without any of the good parts.
Or skimming through the pages until their favourite page came up, as Megamind demonstrated in a special way.
"Oh for the love of...what kind of luck-based nonsense is this? It's not hard, just not fun!" Megamind remarked.
"I agree. I don't care for reading." Raz just slammed the book down.
"Cool-"
"I don't read and I don't care."
Megamind was just very unsure about how the kangaroo's viability, complete with the how the 'roo was giving the most apparent death glare towards some other team.
Raz probably wanted to stab a book and she just angrily looked through the pages for something interesting and Richter wasn't actually doing something in the same spirit.
"You can't just fly through the books!" Maria shouted.
"Honestly, does it matter? I can't get out of here." Richter was very much out reading. "I don't like the way that they're making us read."
"Come on, you should read for real." Maria said honestly.
"...This isn't even that!" Richter just shouted, as a bookmark fell out. "Finally, I can get back to figuring out what this farce really is."
"Richter, wait for a second!"
The vampire hunters were out and the weapon masters were still in and Raz was just glaring at the not so scared hunter and Gilgamesh was still reading about the art of war.
"Ah, calm down. We'll have a good fight with them later!" Gligamesh said, as he dropped something. "Right now, I have to learn about my art."
"The key to us leaving this terrible challenge is right there." Raz just stated.
Gilgamesh realised that he saw the tip and he came in there to grab it, as the kangaroo snatched it extra quickly for whole lack of paitence and soon enough, the weapon masters were out.
"This is going to be good running battle." Gilgamesh was definitely liking the run.
"Contestants who would probably hurt people, you're in 51st!" Don really felt the glare coming from the kangaroo. "Please don't hurt me!"
Richter just threw a cross at Raz, who threw it back to the hunter.
"...Who the heck are you?" Richter asked naively.
"I'll get you back for that comment." Raz just tried to intimidating.
"An talking animal." The cross-wielding did make his companion chuckle.
"Vampire hunters, for real, you guys are in 52nd place!"
*Richter's confessional*
He didn't have that much to say.
"This isn't that different from Smash, actually. I don't know who sent me there or here, but I'll prove that you don't need to have powers to win this type of deal."
*Confessional cut*
Nathan, Franklin and Captain Hook were some of the singers that were not that great at singing, as they weren't really singers at all and getting embarassed on television wasn't that good for any of them.
"Yikes, Nathan, you've still got a uphill battle." Sullivan said. "You ain't no singer."
"I ain't complaining, we can still not get eliminated." Nathan just stated with a pained face. "That's not a high bar, though."
"Listen, as long as you're outta here, you have a chance."
"That's literally the obvious answer and I don't think there's many elimination spots."
Michael and Franklin were a little less friendly, as they were not the best of friends like the two treasure hunters and the angry nerds didn't even have that much of a strong friendship.
"Yo, this ain't that hard. This shit is kinda easy now." Franklin stated facts.
"I'm not a fucking singer by any means." Michael just shrugged.
"Man, you don't have to be."
"Okay..."
The other teams were getting their chance and wherever that was good or not, was really up to them doing their best at the challenge and that challenge was a little bit unbalanced.
"Smee, you baboon, you can sing it!" Captain Hook attempted to cheer, as Franklin just gave a look. "Smee can sing."
"You literally don't have to insult the guy that's doing the challenge. Shit, he's actually doing fine...hold on, he did it." Michael gave some good advice.
"Are you a pirate?"
Michael didn't want to answer that for obvious reason, but Smee arrived that second to make things simple.
"Cap'n, we did it!"
"Finally, it took way too long!" Captain Hook was very unsatisfied, as the pirates were ready to go out on their fastest terms, literally booking it out of there. "Where's the..."
The tough guys couldn't really hear it before too long, as Michael finally nailed it for the challenge and Franklin wasn't even bothering to be excited about it.
"Shit, where was that a few tries ago? You sounded like a dumb-ass rat!" Franklin just ribbed his freind.
"Hold on, I was not even trying those times." Michael attempted to justify the risk.
"That ain't good, though!"
"Of course, it isn't, but I've got the chops!"
Either way, the library was home to more teams that didn't want to be in the library and especially since some of them didn't want to do the kind of racing that was literally turning the page and reading, tensions were pretty high.
"Total bollocks!" Michael shouted.
"I agree!" Captain Hook shouted.
"This is still a library, man." Megamind said. "As much as I would like to complain, we all have to complete the challenge in peace."
"Pirates don't do peace. Smee, are you reading?" The pirate captain proclaimed, as Hook wasn't in the reading quickly mood.
"Yeah, cap'n." Smee just quietly said, as he was looking over all of the words.
*The Pirates' confessional*
These two were in some kind of mood.
"Maybe we should just shake the books so that the thing falls out, cap'n!" Smee had a suggestion. "It's a piece of paper in books."
"Smee, what are you doing?" Captain Hook asked.
"The confessional, cap'n."
*Confessional cut*
The rush to finish the second challenge was very strong in most of the teams that were at the library, besides one that was a little more introspective and those three duos had no time for introspection.
Some of them were more than determined to jus throw books onto tables for no apparent reason other to speed things up.
"Come on the fuck on, we need to get out of this shitty library." Michael whispered angrily.
"I know, you just told me for the fifth time." Franklin was just flipping through pages. "You sure you ain't losing your mind?"
"Hell yeah." Michael was still pretty tired of reading. "I'm doing this for some money and for my family."
"Cool...I dunno if I believe you, but cool." Franklin said.
"Honestly, I already have the tip. Let's just go before anyone else decides to do crazy things." Michael boasted, as the washed-up actor had it in his hand.
The tough guys were out and the geniuses, soul warriors and pirates were all fighting for the prestigious place of 54th, which wasn't even close to being on the third flight.
Megamind was actually doing it slowly, as Minion was still attempting to get into the right headspace of not being poked in Siegfried.
"Are you a monster? Do you know you have done?" Siegfried asked, as the blonde knight glared at Minion.
"Yes, I've done terrible things and I'm ready to do some atoning."
"You better atone!" Siegfried said with a dismissive atone.
"I'm sorry? I would've atoned anyways." Minion said, as Siegfried had an odd look that was off to Cassandra. "Are you okay?"
"As far as I know, not very." Siegfried stated, as the guy was more than happy to say his feelings. "Either way, I still don't like being around monsters."
"That's a fair point." Minion just said, as he got the feeling that Siegfried had.
Despite that, Megamind had a smug look and Sophitia managed to get the tip from the books despite her weak fingers and this time, both teams were able to get out quickly.
"Let's go, we've got it." Megamind proclaimed.
"We should be able to escape the challenge." Sophitia stated, actually talking to Siegfried from the other side of the table.
"Sophitia, we've got no time to waste!" Siegfried shouted.
These two were finally out of the challenge, as the pirates were not even noticing who were out, but they were hearing some noises.
"Did you hear something, Smee. Do you hear people moving out of this cursed place?" Hook was just trying to avoid care about things.
"Cap'n, I don't think this place is cursed, though." Smee was actually reading.
Either way, there was about to be three more teams on the way to the Chill Zone, as they've finally reached there and one of them was at least satisified with the actual result.
"Tough guys, you're both in 53rd place!"
Franklin and Michael were definitely a satisified team, as the two tough guys were not that surprised at the result.
"Man, you still suck ass at this race." Franklin said the truth and Michael hated it. "I wouldn't say that if one of the boys were here."
*Michael's confessional*
The guy was angry.
"You kidding me? I'm the only reason that he is even here and not back at Los Santos, because he is not the coolest head in the race. Not by a damn longshot." Michael said.
"You done talking total shit?" Franklin said.
"Yeah."
*Confessional cut*
"Megamind and fish robot, you're in 54th!"
Megamind and Minion were giving a honest thumbs up and they were both weird-ing out the tough guys that were standing there in confusion.
"What's with your blue-ass skin?" Franklin asked.
"At least we're not the biggest liars known to mankind or whatever city you came from!" Megamind just threw it out and let it sit in Don's mind for some reason.
"Yo-" Michael got cut off by two 16th century warriors. "-Okay."
That didn't matter, as Siegfried and Sophitia did actually managed to get on through.
"Big knight and Greek teen, you're in 55th place and also on the third flight!"
"Now that's an insult!" Siegfried shouted.
"You can't call Siegfried that. He's a tortured soul..." Sophitia added.
"Hate to say, but that's literally what he is." Megamind just made a remark.
"At least you said it to my face." Siegfried wasn't having any of the remarks.
These two were not that distinct compared to the many teams that were still hanging out behind and there was still a whole lot to be done with some of the teams.
Mostly by the fact that Nathan finally passed and didn't want to go through all of that again.
"See that stuff? We could've been on the best flight!" Sullivan boasted about nothing.
"Singing ain't my strong suit, though." Nathan admitted, being honest about his bad singing. "I bet the next challenge is going to be easier."
"I bet it's going to be a real tough cookie."
And then with a single cut, the treasure hunters were in the library with the pirates, who were not happy at all with this challenge and Sullivan ended up being right with the challenge.
*The Treasure Hunters' confessional*
The two of them were just looking really downtrodden.
"If the challenges are going to keep on being like this, I'll regret being here." Sullivan grumbled.
"Don't worry about it, I'm sure that Don's going to stop doing so many of these mediocre challenges." Nathan suggested. "Still not a good start, though."
"What he said, but...nothing more." Sullivan looked like he was going to have something to say.
*Confessional cut*
The pirates and the treasure hunters were both in the same situation of messing up the book reading challenge, which was already messed up in several ways and there was only a few more issues to be checked.
In one team's case literally.
"Once again, why in all of the blasted challenges, this one is so terrible?!" Captain Hook shouted. "I can barely read it."
"I loved that arc, though!" Smee protested. "Of course, cap'n, we need to just find some more books."
"More books?! There-" Captain Hook wasn't going to let any librarian stop him. "-need to be a good reason why this challenge is like this."
"Hold on, there's a tip in one of the books that those guys have." Smee actually whispered now.
"Good idea. You steal it." Captain Hook whispered not because of the librarian.
The treasure hunters were not none the wiser, but they were pretty much quite a distance away and also were convinced that it was a fake...despite not properly checking.
"Finding some ancient treasure in a book is easier than finding some blue paper in a random book." Nathan discussed.
"Hah, you try finding something like that in a book! Someone would be stupid to put it there." Sullivan was still neck deep into a book.
"Was trying to say that finding these tips is just plain random." Nathan said.
"What a wordsmith..." Sullivan didn't notice the pirate captain steal a real tip.
The pirates were in a pretty giddy mood, as Smee was reading the actual tip.
"Cap'n, I think it might be real. I don't think this is too right." Mr. Smee nervously said.
"Oh, please, it's not like these tips are anything but a buffoon's treasure." Captain Hook remarked with a smile.
"Now that you mention it, cap'n, it's not like these tips are hard to find."
"Thank you!" Captain Hook may have gotten shushed, but he was heard throughout the library. "Now we go."
Of course, the treasure hunters aren't that interested in finding a tip quickly, as they literally found an real one pretty quickly and they weren't surprised when the pirates stole it.
"Of course, the pirates stole it. Makes sense." Nathan wasn't too happy about the tip steal.
The pirates were definitely much happier to not be on the last flight, as the treasure hunters were a little bit nervous about their actual position.
"My cap'n wanted to say why is the second challenge the second challenge." Smee politely suggested, as Don was just giving a confused look.
"Captain Hook and Mr. Smee, you're in 56th place! Also, people love reading, so try it some time."
"You better hope-" Nathan just said through some breaths.
"Take that, fools with dirty clothes! We washed in the morning because we smelled like barnacle!" Captain Hook shouted, as the pirate captain was just in a great mood.
"Wait, how, there's no bathroom at the airport..." Nathan didn't want to know. "...WH-"
"Treasure hunting guys, you're in 57th!" Don was just making sure that the treasure hunter to got cut off.
"Wait, you can't just cut off my guy." Sullivan protested a little bit. "Also, sometimes you've just gotta-"
"To be fair, it was going somewhere bad." Mr. Smee just loudly whispered.
The treasure hunters were a little stunned at how they've managed to be cut off...twice.
"Yes, you all are going on the third flight..."
These two teams who were probably hunting for some riches were just doing a quick celebration against each other.
As for two other teams, they pretty much had a hard task ahead of them, as they were pretty much tied in this battle for the third flight with the next challenge and as per the usual, this wasn't really a favourite challenge of many teams.
The trend was pretty continuing, if Bobby basically getting thrown some random books for no apparent reason was a situation that the kid kept getting himself in.
Hugo and Abigail were also in the library and handling it just as bad as the father and son duo from Texas.
"Excuse me, you do know how to read, right?" Hank asked.
"Come on, without reading I can't repair cars and know them parts!" Abigail boasted in the library. "I bet you read a lot."
"Listen, knowing difference between propane and butane ain't easy either." Hank said, just trying to add to the conversation.
"You think handling a grill with several parts is just as hard as trying to get a car parts that no-one uses anymore?" Abigail attempted to condescend down.
"I don't have time to get into an argument about my job, but I don't appreciate your tone." Hank was still pretty calm. "Bobby, we've gotta go."
"Dad, both this big guy and I found the real tips." Bobby was just a little bit covered in dust, as Hugo just grumbled. "He wears pink."
*The Big Guys' confessional*
Hugo and Abigail were both a little bit nervous, though the latter's teeth is showing.
"I'll admit, we haven't messed up that hard yet, but this ain't going to be easy...hell, I'll admit that it is not very not easy." Abigail said, still showing his teeth.
"Why are you smiling?" Hugo said.
"Why are you dumb?" Abigail angrily fired back.
*Confessional cut*
"Hugo & Abigail, you're in 58th and barely on the third flight!"
The big muscular duo was just chuckling at their circumstances, as their team's faith wasn't the strongest.
"Poison, how that's for ending up in last place? Give my money." Abigail just had a certain smirk.
"Er, we only did the first two legs." Hugo pointed out. "But we did it good."
"Hell yeah, we made it through!" Abigail flexed his muscular arms.
"And soon, we going to be the top team!" Hugo just pointed his arms towards the side.
"Great, get off my carpet." Don just let the two big fighters go along, as they were just going out of the park and onto some other location.
The Texan duo that were finally ready to make their final move did so and ended up in a pretty bad place...not as bad as it could've been.
"Hank & Bobby, you're in 59th and also on the third flight!"
"Son, I'd like for you to do better." Hank told his son honestly.
"Come on, dad, this is a vacation." Bobby just talked back to his dad with worry.
"Listen, you were kinda slow back there and Peggy's gonna be mad if we don't get the money." Hank might have felt awkward saying this.
"Yeah, I'll think about it." Bobby just kinda stated, probably not going to think about it too hard. "I dunno, there's no chance."
"Bobby, don't be a quitter!"
It was typical father-son stuff that the next team knew a whole lot of and this time, the library challenge was messing up the rhythm of a few more duos, but they weren't even there.
"Also, there's one more spot on the third flight, before the true losers show themselves...arguably."
There was a whole lot of teams that were either stuck back here or at the library and some of them were better at doing the song part than others.
Homer was a little nervous, but he wasn't really that scared of the challenge that was literally ahead of him and he was just trying his best to sing whatever he thought it was good.
It wasn't good, but more so his attempt a rendition of the USA's national athem was okay. He got the tip.
"Woo, we're finally out of this singing hellhole!" Homer shouted.
"Congrats, you made it." Wizard wasn't really the happiest guy anymore. "Couldn't just be that the standards were getting lower."
"Hey, it's not like you're going through!" Homer fired back without too much anger.
"Thank you, Homer." Wizard passive-aggressively said. "Why does my voice out of tune with everything or seemingly."
"Come on, you just gonna, uh, pussy out? You've been sounding bad since the start, we're not gonna stop now." Boomstick encouraged his co-host. "You've probably done much worse."
"Hey, thanks for the encouragement. Needed that after many failed attempts, but it is still another attempt." Wizard just swallowed his pride.
Sure it wasn't that much pride, but he had to do the challenge or else getting beaten by some random people definitely has worse singing.
Wizard wasn't the greatest...or not even close to that, but he finally was passable in his rendition of a Nirvana song that may or may not have the license.
He did do it, though.
"Told ya." Boomstick said with a cheeky grin. "Told ya that it was possible."
"Yeah, sure." Wizard stated. "Wasn't a long shot."
Back in the library, there was a few teams that were easy to say that they managed to drop their positions ridiculously low even with the advantage that they've gotten.
"Dude, it's crazy! Imagine the hardest challenge so far literally being reading, like, no-one's gonna believe this." Jude was just keeping things chill, a little bit worried.
"Nah, man, you've just gotta faith in Lady Luck." Jonesy stated with a smirk, pulling out another fake. "Gotta have faith."
"Dude, she's going crazy."
"Yeah, I know, right? Jen's gonna go wild over this."
The bears were not too sure about what was even happening in the conversation, but they were sure that the next team was trying to handle the race on their way.
"Homer, I know that this is a race and all, but you should at least check the books." Marge was just a little worried that Homer was ignoring stuff.
Homer was just kinda pulling a few books out of there and not even checking for the tips, as there was fakes flying out.
"Sure, Marge." Homer nervously said.
"Ice Bear reads." Ice Bear was in a similar state of mind, flipping through pages.
"Whoa, easy, my dude. We could get out of here with a lucky grab!" Panda exclaimed, as though he wasn't calmly flipping through pages.
"Ice Bear does the challenge."
The internet hosts weren't expecting much, but they weren't expecting books to be thrown at them.
*The Internet Hosts' confessional*
Boomstick had a pretty massive grimace, as Wizard was just in a state of deep sighing and disappointment.
"Why do people freak out and literally ensure themselves that they may waste more time in this challenge of randomness instead of just flipping through pages to find a tip?" Wizard asked seriously.
"They make reading suck more and let me tell you, reading for something that no-one cares about sucks." Boomstick just answered.
"You know, such obscure works as-" Wizard said.
"Does it matter, this challenge is just a..." Boomstick fake yawned.
*Confessional cut*
Sure, there was going to be a whole lot of bored people, but that's what the challenge was made for...to shake up the leader board and showcase another major facet of the country.
But a balding husband wasn't going to let that stop him from speed running the challenge and he was swiping through pages and pages.
"Come on, come on." Homer whined with utter frustration.
"Homer, slow down, people have to pick them up!" Marge was sure that her husband was more focused on one goal.
"Well, Marge, you've gotta do things for money...woo-hoo." Homer finally managed to get a blue ticket. "I got it."
"Yep, you did! I feel so sorry for those young guys, though." Marge said, also getting another real tip. "I'll just leave this."
"I dunno, those guys could take it." Homer remarked with a nervous smile. "Oh, it's boring."
"Oh...Homer." Marge was a little surprised that her husband was okay with it.
Either way, someone managed to find it quite quickly and they were also the latest team to enter the game and Boomstick was just more than enthusiastic about the random tip.
"This is better than charity. At least we don't have to go through this challenge of boring randomness!" Boomstick said. "At least we've going to have some fun challenges."
"I don't know, these first two legs don't exactly give off an good impression. But this is a different Ridonculous Race, though." Wizard just suggested, putting his book. "Are you not gonna put your book back?"
"We're in a competition about speed!" Boomstick proclaimed. "We've gotta go fast."
"We're definitely far from last, though." Wizard groaned, as his partner was just on his way. "Well..."
"Homer, Marge..."
Both of them were a little scared of being stuck behind a lot of the teams, which was still going to be true, but...
"...you're in 60th place and on the third flight!"
"USA! USA!" Homer shouted. "Take that, Canada."
"Most of the Canadian contestants did better, though." Don pointed out, as Homer just didn't stop.
"We did make it past the first leg, though." Marge said.
"Internet hosts, you're on the fourth flight and in 61st, in case you wanted to know."
Wizard and Boomstick both groaned as a team, as these two internet hosts were not too happy to realise that they were the first team on the fourth flight.
"Well, it's our problem to fix and I know that the next challenge will fix the problem." Wizard stated. "All we need is a good performance."
"Don't worry about it, I'm a performer...of internet hosting and weapons knowledge! That is happening!"
"Is it?" Wizard asked, unsure of what direction that the race is going in.
*The Married Couple's confessional*
Homer was a little overexcited, as his wife was a little nervous.
"I'm one step closer to getting the best donuts and all of that other good stuff!" Homer exclaimed.
"What about Lisa's college tuition and paying our bills and the more important things that we could get." Marge said.
"Marge, if we win that money, there's going to be a lot left over from those awesome donuts to do that stuff!" Homer was really confident.
"Homer..." Marge definitely knew better though. "...I'll need half."
"Come on, why?" The balding guy asked without missing a beat.
*Confessional cut*
Either way, there was going to some more bored contestants that may not want to go through the challenge and Jude was not one of them.
"Dude, it's super cool how these big machines made ice hockey super possible." Jude said. "Jonesy, you've gotta see this."
"Come on, I don't have to." Jonesy said with an self-impressed attitude.
"I'm getting close to actually getting the tip."
"Man, do it!" Jude motivated his partner quietly.
"Okay!" Jonesy was determined to find the real tip in this book. "Wow, it's fake.."
The mall dudes were not the only ones that were really close to getting a real tip, as somehow the the martial artists' real tip was hidden under a table that Krillin was navigating.
"Yamcha, I might need some help!" Krillin exclaimed.
"I don't know, Krillin, you're getting kinda close." Yamcha was attempting to look under the table.
"We've got to find a better way. My head isn't getting any better." Krillin sighed, rubbing his head.
"I would, but these tiger people aren't making it easy for us." Yamcha remarked. "We both kinda are in the same situation. Wait, it's not here!"
"...Augh." Krillin just laid down on the ground.
These two teams were pretty much competing for the same exact thing of trying to get past the second leg of the show and they were pretty close to getting something good.
However, though, both of them managed to get their tip pretty much at the same time, as Krillin had managed to find the same exact table that a tip was under and the mall dudes got their tip unstuck.
And they left at the same time.
"Sweet moves, dude. I wouldn't even be under there." Jude complimented Panda, who had not much to say.
"Yeah, but it hurts too much to really be worth it." Krillin was still rubbing his head.
"Man, you're on TV and the video, it's worth it!" Jude stated, as Jonesy was just giving a snarky look towards the librarian.
"I don't really know, Yamcha didn't help that much with the under-the-table stuff." Krillin just said nervously.
"You're going 'round the planet for free, dude-" Jude wanted to give more advice, but Jonesy just giving him a weird look. "-'Right."
"Krillin, I literally couldn't reach that blue card. Sorry, man." Yamcha said.
"Hey, no need to apologise. We're still competing." Krillin said with a genuine smile.
Both teams were actually ridiculously close to each other, to the point that when Don saw them, they were practically neck and neck to each other.
"There's a lot of real close finishes!"
Don's remark may have caused something in the universe to intervene, because suddenly Panda Bear tripped on nothing and Ice Bear basically got his own bro back up.
"Jonesy & Jude, you're in 62nd place!"
Jonesy just groaned, as Jude just sighed at the low position.
"Dude." Jude just said, plain shocked.
"Man." Jonesy replied back in a sad tone.
"We made it, dude." Jude didn't exactly see Jonesy's happy side. "What's the problem?"
"Yamcha & Krillin, you're both in 63rd place!"
The martial artists were a little bit nervous, though Krillin didn't really care that much about the position, moreso of the fact that he made it through.
"You're both on the fourth flight, though and have also made it."
These two were just plain relieved to not have to be sent home after the first leg with a first time elimination.
"Stick around for our last 13 teams that are battling to make sure that they're not in a bad place...after the break!"
