Who here likes the X-Games or E-Sports? No?WELL TO BAD!
It was good to have a nice quiet sleep after the last few days and nights of chaos. Everything was perfect...
Until Chris flew over the cabins with his plane.
Everyone woke up with a start, Leshawna being the first up. Why? So she can yell out the window.
"I'm really gettin' tired of this, McLean!" She bellowed. This cause the others to slowly get out of bed, all unhappy and frustrated.
Black Hole was clearly still fatigued from the battle against the animatronics, so he left the cabin looking like a zombie. As the campers assembled in the center of the campgrounds, Duncan took note of BH's state.
"Man, you look like crap! Didn't get enough sleep, princess?" Duncan joked. He was met with the most venomous and nasty snarl he ever heard, so he took a step back. "I was kidding, I was kidding." This seemed to please BH enough to back off, though he still grumbled to himself in anger. Some of the campers heard their name and 'kill him/her later' from him, so they all took a step away. Suddenly, the sound of a plane made everyone turn their heads.
"Hit the deck!" Geoff shouted. Everyone dove to the ground as the plane sped by dangerously close to the campers. It landed a distance away and Chris came out wearing... an X-Wing pilot uniform. Galaxy cocked his brow in confusion.
Confessional
Galaxy - "Star Wars is reconized here? Weird, didn't expect this place to have that level of reference."
Static
Andromeda - "Chris nearly killing us with a plane is just a bad omen of things to come."
Static
Courtney - "What the heck, Chris!? How careless could you be!?"
Static
Black Hole - His eyes are bloodshot (more so than usual) and a venomous frown is on his face. "I. AM. GOING. BACK. TO. SLEEP."
Confessional End
"Just flexing you muscles for today's EXTREME SPORTS DAY CHALLENGE!" Chris said, pulling out a megaphone for the last bit. The echo that followed caused the campers to cringe
"Uhg, it's to early for this", Gwen said.
"Exactly", Black Hole added in, "Which is why I'm going back to bed." And so he left. Chris didn't seem to notice it leave, as he just continued to explain the challenge:
It was broken up into three events, first was skydiving, second was a rodeo with a moose, and finally was water skiing in mud. The winning team got a luxury mobile shower, so of course the girls were the ones who wanted to win the most.
"We need to win that!" Courtney exclaimed. She then grabbed Milky Way's arm and pulled him closer. "You'll win it for me?"
Milky Way looked at her, then at the plane. "I'll try."
Everyone (minus Black Hole) were assembled on the beach next to some ratty old couches. The skydivers would have to try and land on their team's couch. And who would be jumping?
Milky Way and Trent.
MW and Trent were now on the plane about three thousand feet in the air.
"Oh boy", MW said as he held on to the plane with a vice grip. Trent pat him on the shoulder.
"Take it easy, dude. Your bro will be there for you", the musician said, "Me, not so much..."
"Yeah", MW said with panic, "He will."
Trent gave a mock salute before jumping, obviously not enjoying it.
Down on the beach with the Gophers, they were having trouble moving their couch. Why? Owen chose to sleep on it. So they painted an X on the boys butt.
"At least it'll be a soft landing", Gwen said with uncertainty. Galaxy nodded.
"Don't sweat it, girl", Leshawna added, "He'll be fine. Boy survived that pufferfish, didn't he?" Gwen smiled at her friend...
Just as Trent crashed into the sand infront of them, leaving a fairly deep him shaped hole. Turns out his parachute was defective. Gwen gaped, Leshawna fell silent, and Galaxy cringed as Chef came by and put the injured boy on a stretcher to get re-boned.
Milly Way, still unbelievably nervous, swallowed his fear and jumped. He was getting dangerously close to the ground, this team pushing their couch in all directions so they could catch him. He pulled the cord on his chute, and the thing worked, slowing his descent. He sighed with relief, only for the wind to push him every which way to Sunday. The Bass saw this, and tried to push the couch under him. Andromeda, patience wearing thin, picked the whole couch up and was finally able to catch Milky Way. The Bass cheered.
"And the Bass win the first round!" Chris announced. He was then glocked in the head with an alarm clock. Everyone turned to see Black Hole, still grumpy, but not as much as last time.
"I'm up now!" It snarled, "cause you wouldn't stop yelling!"
Galaxy walked up to him. "BH, you need to calm down." He looked at the others. "We'll talk after the challenge." The maniac nodded.
Confessional
Galaxy - "Black Hole tends to be more aggressive the less sleep he gets. If he participated in the Awake-a-thon, well, there'd be blood."
Static
Milky Way - "I can't believe it, I skydived, and I didn't get injured! That's a first!" He looks at the camera and crosses his arms and scowls. "Yeah, I skydived before. When me and my bro took a vocation to Wuhu Island." His eyes widened. "Wait..."
Confessional End
The rodeo was nothing to special. Geoff and Leshawna were fighting for their win on the moose, and the Gophers won easily after Geoff tanked it in less than a second. Everyone soon found themselves at the massive mud pit. Lindsay and Andromeda were skiing, while Duncan and Heather were their drivers, respectively. Everyone else just watched from the sidelines, cheering for their respective teammates. Heather and Andromeda readied at the starting line.
"Are you two ready?" Chris announced. "Go!"
...
But nothing happened.
Andromeda's weight kept the jet ski from moving. Heather revved the engine several times, with zero movement. Everyone else just had blank expressions. After a few minutes of nothing, Andromeda jumped off the skis. This caused Heather and her jet ski to go flying right into a tree. Everyone cringed at the loud crash.
"Well", Chris began, still unsure what the hell just happened, "Looks like the Bass, lose. The Gophers win the extreme sports challenge..."
Milky Way was the first on to speak up. "What!? Why!?"
"Cause Andromeda didn't even move at all. Also he jumped off his skis, which is an instant disqualification." The Bass began to complain viciously, Chris ignoring all of it. It took a bit before Duncan and Lindsay could go, as Milky Way and Courtney were still complaining. The other two just went regardless.
To say Duncan ate it would be an understatement.
The Bass lost, Gophers won, and Courtney was furious. Milky Way would be, too, if Andromeda hadn't told him something... interesting.
"You want to be voted off!?" Milky Way exclaimed. The two brothers had found themselves at their usual cameraless spot in the forest. Black Hole had found a camera there and quickly destroyed it, so now the two brothers had their privacy.
"Yeah", Andromeda replied gruffly as he crossed his arms, "I f*cked up today."
"But we need you!"
"The merge is coming after the next challenge, so I need you and the others to stay here."
"But, why you?"
Andromeda looked off to the side. "Comet and the others might need my help with whatever might be happening at Boney Island." He sighed. "The might have called me."
Milky Way fell silent for a moment. "What did they find?" He asked hesitantly.
"Quasar and Ennard ran into Garmadon and Wheatley. Sh*t is going to get bad."
Milky Way said nothing. He simply nodded and walked away to find Courtney and Duncan. Andromeda watched him go, then he pulled out his phone.
"Comet, backup is on the way."
It was now the elimination ceremony, although the atmosphere was more somber than usual. Milky Way looked heartbroken, Courtney holding his hand and rubbing his back. Duncan sat on his other side, a look of indifference on his face. All three of them looked at Andromeda, who was sitting on a stump away from them. Chris noticed the this, but chose to say nothing, thankfully. He held up the marshmallow platter.
"Those of you who are safe", He began.
"Bridgette."
...
"DJ."
...
"Duncan."
...
"Geoff."
...
"Courtney."
...
The Bass fell silent. Geoff, Bridgette and DJ shared dumbstruck. Duncan and Courtney looked at MW, who was looking at Andromeda sadly. Andromeda had a neutral expression.
...
...
...
...
...
...
...
...
...
...
...
...
"Milky Way."
MW caught his marshmallow as Bridgette and DJ gasped. Andromeda instantly stood up and began walking to the Boat of Losers. Just as he stepped on the dock, Milky Way slammed him into a hug.
"Be careful."
"I will."
And so the Boat of Losers left with Andromeda as its only passenger, the Bass waving as it vanished from sight.
Andromeda was dropped off at Playa de Losers, but no one was there to greet him.
'Perfect', he thought. He remained on the dock until a speed boat stopped next to it.
Ennard was driving.
"Nice to see ya, buddy", the mangled mess of wires said.
"Same thing to you " Andromeda threw his luggage on the boat and hopped on. Ennard quickly sped off to the cruiser, glad to have the help they needed to save this universe.
Confessional
Milky Way - He's just looking down at the outhouse floor. He then raises his head, tears welling in his eyes.
"Be careful, bro."
