MXC: Disney vs. Cartoon Network vs. Nickelodeon
Rated K+
Summary: Three of the post popular cartoon-centered brands engage in a battle of legendary proportions as they compete in the toughest competition in town! Who'll be the last brand standing? We'll find out on MXC, Most Extreme Elimination Challenge!
Disclaimer: I do not own anything associated with Disney, Cartoon Network, Nickelodeon or the show MXC, also known as Most Extreme Elimination Challenge. MXC and the rest of the characters is owned by Paramount Network (aka Spike TV), and that's all you need to know. Since I got back to binging on more MXC on TubiTV, I'd figured why not write up a big fic featuring characters from both Disney, Cartoon Network and Nickelodeon shows, mostly cartoons in which they're competing on MXC? That's what me and The Amazing Ghost Musician are gonna be doing here in this story, so most of the credit goes to my co-writer as well.
P.S.: This will be set in an AU in which Fox and Disney both own MXC, hencewhy this is gonna be a bit of a family-friendly approach. I understand why people are a bit turned off by MXC feeling more like PG-rated WWE without Kenny's dirty jokes and Guy LeDouche himself, but it's not my idea. The Amazing Ghost Musician actually thought of an alternate universe where Fox and Disney end up owning MXC. That's only the MXC fic we do together whereas my MXC fics will be written like the show without all that family friendly crap with Kenny's dirty jokes and Guy LeDouche included. I hope that can help clarify things here. Anyway, sit back and enjoy!
Chapter 2: Mud Butlers
MXC is back for the classic battle between Disney vs. Cartoon Network vs. Nickelodeon! Talk about a slobber-knocker, huh?
"Hello and welcome back," Vic said to the camera before looking at Kenny, "What a big start we've had so far, Ken."
Ken nodded before saying, "Yep, Disney's kickin Nickelodeon and Cartoon Network's sorry little candy-"
"Whoa whoa whoa, Ken." Vic stopped him momentarily, "Family show, remember?"
"Oh, right. Sorry about that, Vic." Kenny nodded.
"All things considered, Ken." Vic nodded as well before asking Ken, "You nearly had that ol' slip of the tongue there. We don't want to see that old Kenny Blankenship resurface and give the kids a bad role model to look up to, huh?"
Kenny chuckled as he said, "Hey, as long as the network keeps bringing on those free wings with ranch sauce over at my trailer, I think I'd get used to this."
"Good enough for me, Ken." Vic nodded before raising an eyebrow, "Hey wait a minute, the network didn't promise free ranch dressing."
"I know, I ended up stealing some from the Captain's trailer." Kenny said with cockled laughter.
Vic nodded, "Ah, that explains it. Let's go to Mud Butlers."
The scene soon transitioned over to an animated scene showing the next event, Mud Butlers, leading Vic to explain the rules in its entirety.
"The object of Mud Butlers is simple: Each player taps an inflated goat bladder with a meat mallet, then each player must race down the steps of doom in attempts to catch the swollen orb before it lands in the bog of mystery mud." Vic explained as the graphic came to an end.
The camera then switched over to the Captain, who blew his whistle and shouted, "GET IT ON!"
The contestant that was shown first had a red shirt which was worn over a blue vest, had a blue hat with a tree symbol on top, olive pants, white socks, black shoes and brown hair. The hat of course was also covering his little dipper-shaped birthmark on his forehead.
"Someone ate my pudding pops!" Dipper exclaimed.
"First up for Team Disney, the lead protagonist of Gravity Falls, Dipper Pines!" Vic exclaimed as he saw Dipper tap the goat bladder, "Dipper of course is also the twin brother of another contestant we'll be seeing soon enough, Mabel Pines."
"Yeah, I heard this kid's quite a chick magnet in his town." Kenny said to his partner.
"Well, it's no surprise he's been romantically linked to girls in the show like Pacifica Northwest and Wendy Corduroy." Vic reminded him, "In fact, there are a lot of fanfics including him with those girls nonstop."
"No wonder he's popular with the fanbase." Kenny nodded out.
"Right you are, Ken!" Vic nodded.
Once he finally saw that goat bladder fall off the edge, Dipper reacted quickly by catching the bladder right into the pot before hitting the mystery muck, therefore scoring another one for the Disney team.
"Oh, and he's got it!" Vic exclaimed.
"He got it on the first try too!" Kenny exclaimed as well, "He really came here to play!"
"Indeed, he did, Ken." Vic nodded before replying, "With that, he scores big for the Disney squad."
"This is gonna be another reason why Dipper is a main favorite." Kenny pointed out.
"Right you are, Ken!" Vic agreed.
As Dipper continued to celebrate his victory, the camera turned it right over to the next contestant who was short, had a small red hat, a big head with a big round pinkish nose, blue jeans and red sneakers to complete his look.
"I ate Dipper's pudding pops!" Billy replied stupidly before tapping the goat bladder
"And first up for the Cartoon Network Team, it's Billy from one of Cartoon Network's best and highest rated shows The Grim Adventures of Billy & Mandy." Vic replied.
"Man, that kid has one big nose." Kenny chuckled a bit, "It's like he attached a kidney to it."
"Well, he does get his looks from his dad." Vic nodded, "A lot of these cartoon characters have been designed very oddly."
Kenny then smirked before saying, "Oh, like how they made Billy's mom into a complete psycho?
"I'd prefer not to use that term, Ken." Vic replied, "She's more psychotically challenged."
"Whatever the case is, that woman needs some serious help." Kenny said.
"Indeed!" Vic nodded back.
As the two were finished talking though, Billy attempted to catch the goat bladder with the pot, only to land hard on his face in the muck, leaving him to miss the bladder right by an inch.
"And it looks like Billy may need help himself!" Vic pointed out, "He's down in the muck!"
"You know what they say, the bigger the nose the smaller the brain." Kenny chuckled.
"You're right about that, Ken." Vic nodded before saying, "Let's go to the replay for another look."
While Billy was getting up slowly from the muck, the replay of his run was shown in its entirety, leaving Vic and Kenny to commentate over the footage.
"By the way, Ken, care to tell us what's in our mystery muck?" Vic said to his partner.
"Yeah, that's leftover chocolate pudding that Miss Flynn-Fletcher made mixed with motor oil that was also left over from Doofenshmirtz Evil Incorporated." Kenny smirked.
"No doubt Billy got a good taste of it there, Ken." Vic replied.
Right after the replay of his run was over and done with, the camera turned it around again to see a teenager with a shaved head, a white shirt that was being covered by an olive green polo vest, grayish-brown shorts and sneakers appear before the Captain himself.
"My win goes to you, Patti!" Doug shouted before tapping the goat bladder.
"And first up for the Nickelodeon Team representing Doug, it's Doug Funnie!" Vic exclaimed, "And not to mention the fact that's also the man behind Quailman!"
"Oh man, I sure did love that show Vic." Kenny stated, "Doug was not only Nickelodeon's best cartoon show of the 90s, it's probably one of the best cartoons that ever came out of Nickelodeon themselves."
"That was until the cartoon was bought out by Disney in the late 90's." Vic said, reminding him of that fact.
"Yeah well I don't mean to insult our friends from Disney, Vic!" Kenny explained, "But Doug was originally a Nickelodeon cartoon first, so they technically came from Nickelodeon only!"
"You make a very reasonable point, Ken!" Vic nodded, "Plus, one of the best moments I can recall from that show was when he and Patti won a contest by putting banana pudding on a pizza."
"Maybe Doug will get another date with Patti after he wins." Kenny replied.
While Kenny was finished talking though, Doug ended up slipping on the last step of the stairs, forcing him to trip on his face, missing the goat bladder entirely and landing right on the mud, getting him eliminated from the competition.
"I think he's gonna be dating our mystery muck instead, Ken!" Vic exclaimed.
"Well that didn't taste good." Kenny said, shaking his head.
"It certainly did not, Ken." Vic shook his head as well, "I think he's got a mouthful too."
As Doug slowly managed to get out of the muck, the camera shifted over once again to a teenage girl who had black pigtails, wore an orange beanie cap, a red dress with a leather jacket worn over it, pink/black striped socks and black leather boots who appeared before the Captain next.
"How ya doin'!" Ashley shouted out.
"And next up for the Disney Team, it's Ashley Spinelli representing Disney's Recess!" Vic replied.
"The girl happens to be the Tomboy of the Recess gang," Kenny explained, "Plus she happens to be a big wrestling fan."
"Indeed, Soos spoke out to her earlier today before this competition." Vic replied yet again.
Before her run started however, a clip started to play over the footage showing Ashley Spinelli being interviewed by Soos itself right in the middle of an open field.
Soos was about to say something, only for Ashley to grab the mic and say, "Okay, let's get one thing straight here, big man. I'm not the girl you ever wanna mess with. I can be as bad as I want to be. You wanna know how bad I can be? I made Randall Weems eat his own teeth for dinner after he snitched on us. That's how bad I am! Got that?"
"Sure do…" Soos nodded out of fear before asking, "I also hear you got a vicious roundhouse kick as well."
"That I do." Ashley nodded before smirking to Soos, "In fact, let me do a demonstration!"
It wasn't long before Ashley Spinelli turned right around and dealt out a very vicious roundhouse kick towards the face of Danny Glands, who was knocked right out unconsciously. This scene immediately left Soos unable to talk due to the strong impact that Ashley left on Danny's face.
"Oh… my… goodness." Soos barely uttered out from his lips.
"Yeah, he had it coming too." Ashley nodded to Soos.
After the interview finally ended, the camera turned back to see Ashley tap the goat bladder before grabbing the pot to climb down the stairs with.
"As it's shown, Ashley Spinelli also has a big rivalry against the school's most hated snitch, Randall Weems."
"Yeah I don't blame her for that, Vic." Kenny nodded, "I find that smile of his unsettling to look at."
"I sure wouldn't wanna look at that either, Ken." Vic shook his head uneasily.
"Aside from that, I do remember many great episodes of Recess." Kenny mentioned, "In one episode in particular, even though I can't remember which one exactly, it turns out that Spinelli has had a longtime crush on her friend T.J."
"Right you are, Ken!" Vic nodded.
As the two continued talking though, Ashley managed to make a big leap towards the goat bladder, catching it with her pot before she hit the muck with a big thud, getting yet another score for Team Disney!"
"Speaking of which, Spinelli just crushed it here!" Vic said excitingly.
"Looks like all of that training and speed worked out." Kenny nodded.
"It most certainly did, Ken!" Vic agreed, "And with that, Disney scores yet again continuing their hot streak 4-1-0!"
"Yeah, look at her celebrating with our MXC pudding." Kenny said, smirking at the sight of Ashley Spinelli being covered in pudding/oil.
"That's sure to be sticky." Vic nodded.
After Ashley continued to celebrate her victory though, the camera scrolled up yet again to see another teenager who looked tall, had blonde hair, and was decked in a long-sleeved white shirt, blue jeans, dark brown shoes and signature orange ascot worn around his neck standing next to the Captain.
"Let's split up, gang!" Fred shouted out before tapping the goat bladder.
"And next up for the Cartoon Network Team representing Scooby-Doo, the leader of Mystery Incorporated himself, Fred Jones!" Vic exclaimed.
Before Kenny could say something though, Fred ended up slipping down on one of the steps, forcing him to fall all the way down while breaking every part of his bones in the process painfully. He fell all stories down which resulted in Fred falling face-first right into the muck.
"Oh my goodness, Fred just fell all the way down!" Vic shrieked out in complete horror, "My god, this is bad to look at!"
Kenny immediately laughed it up with each step Fred fell at, forcing him to chuckle, "Haha, what a moron! He fell all the way down!"
"Kenny!" Vic scowled angrily to Ken, all before smacking him upside the back of his head.
"OW!" Kenny yelped in pain, "What the heck was that for?!"
"How dare you laugh at someone else's pain when they could literally be hurt!" Vic scowled once more.
Kenny then backed away in defense saying, "Hey it's not my fault that pretty boy moron didn't watch his step coming down!"
"Oh," Vic nodded before replying, "Well, whether you wanna call it that is our MXC Impact Replay!"
As Fred continued to lay down on the floor in pure agony, the MXC Impact Replay started to play showing Fred's entire run, mostly focusing on the painful trip Fred had all the way down breaking his entire bones.
"I swear, Ken, you just hate to see this happen." Vic shook his head, "Fred Jones failed to get out of the starting gate right away. I got a good feeling he won't be the same after this disaster's over."
"I could say the same thing for his hospital bills." Kenny smirked yet again.
"Indeed, I hope his life insurance can cover that mess." Vic replied.
Once Fred's replay finally came to an end, the camera switched over to the next contestant, who was short, had brown dreadlocks, green headband, dark green sunglasses, yellow shirt, dark red shorts and white sneakers.
"Woogity woogity woogity!" Otto shouted out before tapping the goat bladder.
"Up next for Nickelodeon, Otto Rocket!" Vic exclaimed, "He's one of many characters from the show Rocket Power, alongside his sister Reggie and best friend Twister."
"Whatever happened to his other best friend, Squid?" Kenny raised his eyebrow to Vic.
"You mean Sam, Ken?" Vic corrected him before saying, "He was gonna be here to compete but couldn't due to medical obligations, so we got three of Otto's teammates here today."
"That sucks, I wanna see Squid scream like a girl." Kenny smirked, "That stuff's funny."
"Yeah well, sorry to disappoint you, Ken." Vic said, rolling his eyes annoyingly.
Right after Vic was finally finished talking, the goat bladder came off the edge, forcing Otto to catch it into the pot, only for the bladder to fall off the pot leading Otto to land right on the mud.
"Oh, and Otto's down on the muck!" Vic exclaimed.
"Yeah, he wiped out." Kenny nodded before saying with a chuckle, "Woogity woogity woogity."
"Right you are, Ken."
As Otto picked himself up and left in defeat, the camera turned it around once more to see a green-haired kid with an F-shaped head, yellowish-white shirt, purple jeans and black sneakers standing next to the captain, looking very pumped as usual.
"I'm up for Sprummer." Ferb replied before hitting his goat bladder and grabbing the pot.
"And next up for Disney, it's Ferb Fletcher." Vic pointed out, "He, alongside his brother Phineas, are representing the cartoon Phineas and Ferb."
"Huh, he sure talks funny for a 12-year old." Kenny nodded.
"Well, Ken, that's because he's from England." Vic replied to his partner.
Kenny then responded with disgust, "Ugh, you mean those people whose teeth look funny, drink some of that cruddy tea and call their kind of soccer, 'football'? Man, no wonder the NFL's ticked off."
"You deserve those people from England an apology, Ken." Vic said, scowling to his partner again.
"I'm sorry Vic, I just don't understand people like that." Kenny shook his head.
Before Vic could speak up though, Ferb attempted to grab the goat bladder with his pot, only for him to land face-first into the muck forcing him to miss the bladder by two inches.
"Well, at least you'll understand that Ferb's fallen into the muck." Vic pointed out.
"I just hope the people at Disney-FOX Entertainment don't chew me out for that offensive comment." Kenny shook his head.
Vic took in a big gulp before saying, "I think they already will."
"Oh man!" Kenny sighed, hitting himself over the head.
As Ferb continued to spit out the muck he accidentally swallowed though, the camera switched over to the next contestant who just happened to be a humanoid bluejay.
"Not setting up the chairs next time! Not setting up the chairs next time! UNNNH!" Mordecai shouted out incoherently before tapping the goat bladder.
"And next up, representing the Regular Show from the Cartoon Network team, Mordecai!" Vic exclaimed. "He of course, still works at the park that he and his best friend Rigby work at."
"Yeah, it still sucks that he didn't end up with that cardinal chick who works at the coffee shop." Kenny pointed out first-handedly. "Bet he still can't get over it."
"Love's a painful thing, Ken." Vic shrugged it out.
After Vic finished out his sentence, Mordecai leaped over for the goat bladder, only for the big goat bladder to bonk Mordecai right upside his head and knock him unconscious right into the muck.
"Oh and Mordecai's out, Ken!" Vic yelped, "That was quite a hit."
"Yeah, no kidding." Kenny replied, "In fact, here's the replay of what clearly happened."
With Mordecai still down and out into the muck, the replay of his run was shown yet again but Ken stopped halfway to see Mordecai leap up into the air.
"Okay, see Mordecai right here?" Ken said, drawing a line all over Mordecai.
"Yeah, I see him, Ken." Vic nodded.
"Well, take a look at this." Ken chuckled as he drew what seemed to be a stick figure resembling Margaret, "Mordecai thinks he's looking at his long-lost crush at first, but it turns out to be just a mirage, therefore kissing down right our little MXC muck instead."
"Oh, Ken… only you can make humiliation a little less painful." Vic nodded out.
Once Mordecai's replay was finally over, the camera switched right over to the last contestant, which seemed to be another kid but had a long strand of hair hanging from his black-haired head, wearing large glasses, black trenchcoat, light blue shirt with an alien's head on it, grey jeans and black shoes.
"The truth is out there!" Dib shouted out before tapping on the goat bladder.
"And coming up last for the Nickelodeon team representing Invader Zim is the weird conspiracy theorist himself, Dib!" Vic exclaimed.
"Isn't he that freak that keeps thinking that Zim is an alien?" Kenny said, raising his eyebrow.
Vic nodded as he said, "I believe so, Ken!"
"You know I've noticed something, Vic." Kenny said, "Invader Zim is a very dark cartoon series, the show should be more for adults."
"That's a very logical explanation, Ken." Vic nodded before replying, "Maybe it would best be suited for Nick-At-Nite if that's the case."
"I was thinking more on FOX, since Disney is allowing The Simpsons and Family Guy to stay on their network." Kenny replied.
Before Vic could at least agree with Ken on that statement, he was cut off to see Dib trip himself on the mud, which forced him to miss the goat bladder from at least a mile away.
"While I'll agree with you on that, Ken, I bet Dib isn't gonna like the fact he tripped right into the muck!" Vic pointed out.
"I wonder who that kid is gonna blame for making him fall?" Kenny smirked, "Sounds like it would be a conspiracy."
"I think you might be right about that," Vic nodded, "Let's go right to Soos."
As Dib hit his fist right into the muck with total frustration, the camera immediately zoomed it right over to see Dib looking very agitated and P.O.'ed in front of field reporter Soos, who was trying to calm him down.
"Well, you definitely didn't take that loss well." Soos shook his head.
Looking up to Soos with rage toward his face, Dib shouted out in frustration, "You got that right I didn't! I bet Zim had something to do with this! I bet he created some sort of invisible banana peel to make me fall right on my face. Or maybe he created some sort of wind machine to push me off into the muck. I know he did! I'll get right to the bottom of this if it kills me entirely!"
Feeling very disturbed from the kid's comments, Soos looked down to Dib with concern, "You wanna take a nap?"
"Oh, *dolphin noises* your naps!" Dib said, getting bleeped out in a SpongeBob kind of way.
"WHOA!" Soos said with an offensive gasp, "Who taught you to talk like that?!"
With the interview over and done with, the camera switched right over inside the castle, where Kenny and Vic found themselves offended with what Dib said, leaving them quite speechless for a second.
"Did that kid just say what I think he said?!" Vic gasped in shock.
"I sure did, Vic!" Kenny replied, "Somebody outta wash out his mouth with soap."
"I can tell the network's gonna be on our butts for sure, Ken!" Vic said, fearing the worst for both commentators.
"Oh great!" Kenny groaned, "This is the first show we've had in over a year from our return, and we're gonna get fined thanks to that little brat's F-bomb!"
Vic ended up rolling his eyes saying, "There goes our free wing privileges now."
As their little segment ended, the camera went back to the scoreboard where right now, Disney was leading over the competition, scoring big 4-1-0.
"Well, that'll do it for Mud Butlers," Vic nodded before saying, "Thanks to the combined forces of both Dipper Pines and Ashley Spinelli, Disney maintains their lead 4-1-0!"
Hey, stick around, because when MXC comes back, we're gonna give you a case of the Saddle Sores! You got that, horseface?
Wow, Disney's so far killing it in this competition. Can they keep up the momentum or will Cartoon Network and Nickelodeon stage a big comeback? We'll just have to see for sure. Make sure to read, review and leave some feedback if you can before next chapter. Until next time, cheers!
