In this exciting chapter, a demolition derby will happen in the Roman Coliseum, chariots will be destroyed, and someone is going to mercilessly ruin a precious toga.

Basically Saturday night in Chris' opinion.

0000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000

Chris' recap: "Last time on Total Drama Everything 2, the group of returning veterans and fresh meat arrived in beautiful Egypt and formed their teams: the Mysterious Moons and the Shooting Stars. Still better than the Dangerous Deadpools. Then came the real work: searching a nearby pyramid for several figurines. Sonic and Ruby bonded quickly, while Double D and Gaz found dead silence, and Julie outright ditched Leo in there. And Yusei and Lammy made the discovery of a lifetime by finding a splendid ruby necklace. Nothing weird about that, really (sarcasm). In the end, the Mysterious Moons won the first class treatment, while the Shooting Stars chose to vote off the massive threat Snake. Poor guy. I really thought he would last longer. This week, we're headed for a place of wonder and chariots. Will this place turn someone into history? And will someone else become so humiliated that they wish they were history? Find out right here! On Total. Drama. Everything 2!"

*theme song*

The Mysterious Moons were all in the first class cabin, where Ruby, Gaz, and Deadpool were playing Super Smash Bros, Cynder and Leo were reading, Po was pigging out, Yusei and Lammy were having another tabletop duel, Julie had her headphones in and was relaxing, Ash and Pikachu were pigging out along with Po, and Connie had a familiar handheld device in her hand.

(Connie's message, submitted by MrTempleguy)

"Hey Connie!" yells Steven Universe. "How's it going? I want to say good luck. I made you a good luck cake."

He pulls out a cake with Connie's face on it.

"The Gems helped me make it," Steven explains.

A crash is heard in the background and a gem is seen falling on top of the cake.

"A-as you can see, there's a fight going o-on."

Steven puts the cake back with nervous laughter.

*end*

Connie turns the device off, giggling. "You never cease to make me laugh, Steven," she said with a slight sigh.

"Who're you talking about?" Deadpool asked from behind her, and she turned around, scared.

She rolled her eyes at the sight of the mercenary. "Just a friend back home."

"How long are you going to stay paused?" Ruby asked Deadpool from the TV screen where they were playing their game with Gaz.

"Hold on. I'm coming back."

He walked back to the screen, passing by Yusei and Lammy as Lammy destroyed one of Yusei's spell cards.

"It sucks that Snake's gone," Lammy huffed. "I didn't think he would be eliminated this early."

"I don't think anyone did except for the people who voted him off," Yusei responded.

At that moment, a ray of the rising sun hit Lammy's new necklace from the window, giving it a glowing effect.

"Ok, the light on that thing is perfect," Yusei said. "I need to take another picture."

As he pulled out his camera, Lammy rolled her eyes. "Do you have to take a picture of the necklace every time the light hits it just right?"

"Do you want to capture the effect forever or not?" Yusei asked, a little amused.

"True."

(Meanwhile…)

The Shooting Stars were all sitting in Economy class, looking bored. Everyone, that is, except Moka, Double D, and Harry. They were all watching a video sent to Moka on another device.

(Moka's message, submitted by The Lizard King)

"Hey, Moka," says Tsukune. "We really are happy that you are still on the show."

Mizore shares the enthusiasm. "Yeah, what a way to go!"

"Moka, when you are done with this," says Yukari, suddenly getting shy, "could you, like, introduce me to Double D and Harry? I want to meet them because Double D is a very intelligent person and Harry is like a legend in the world of magic."

Kurumu stares at her confusingly. "Okay, since when did you become a fangirl over those geeks?"

"THEY ARE NOT GEEKS, YOU STUPID TRAMP!"

"WHO ARE YOU CALLING A TRAMP, YOU LITTLE BRAT?!"

A cat fight starts between the two girls.

"Please guys." Tsukune says. "Calm down." He tries to stop the fight but Gin stops him.

"Tsukune, a word of advice. Never try to stop a cat fight, or you might not be able to survive."

"But besides that," Ruby (not to be confused with the competitor) states, "we really hope that you will win, Moka."

Tsukune adds, "Yeah, and make sure not to let anyone take your rosary off. We don't really like to see Inner Moka."

"Besides that, good luck," says Mizore.

"I know you got this!" Tsukune exclaimed.

*end*

Harry had to stifle a laugh, while Double D looked surprised. "Your friends are certainly interesting," he said. "And that blue-haired one is quite nice for someone so…...well endowed."

"I would like to meet Yukari and Ruby (still not to be confused with the competitor)," Harry said. "I want to know how they use their kind of magic."

"Yukari seems really smart for someone so young," Double D added. "I would love to meet her as well."

Harry took a quick look at Moka's rosary. "What did Tsukune say about the rosary and "Inner Moka'?"

Moka sighed and said, "It's my power limiter. If this thing comes off, I turn into my true form. Luckily, I can't take it off myself, and only Tsukune has ever been able to do it. So we shouldn't worry about that."

0000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000

"Now we know that this girl is more than a vampire with a pretty face," said Double D. "I can't really say anything bad about her."

0000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000

"I've finally met humans besides Tsukune that actually seem nice, like Double D," Moka stated. "As well as others like me, such as Harry. I can live in the best of both worlds on this show."

0000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000

"I can feel Hermione will want to meet Yukari as well," Harry said. "And Ron will want to meet Kurumu."

0000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000

On the other side of the room, Ivy was also watching a message from home, though it was debatable whether or not it was a good-luck message.

(Ivy's message, submitted by MrTempleguy)

"Poison Ivy, I know you're planning something bad and me and Robin plan to figure it out," says Batman. "You will not get away with whatever you're doing!"

Joker comes out of nowhere and throws a Joker card at Batman.

"But right now, I'm kinda busy."

He throws a Batarang at Joker.

*end*

Ivy rolled her eyes. "All I want to do is win a million dollars," she said to herself. "It's not like I'm hijacking the plane or anything."

She put the device down, and Nom Nom came through the room, passing by Ivy. They made eye contact for one second before Nom Nom exited the room, a sickening feeling in his stomach.

0000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000

"There's something odd about that Ivy girl," Nom Nom explained. "For starters, she's a self-proclaimed villain of one of the most famous superheroes in the world. Then there's her undoubtable attractiveness. You know she can turn heads when even goody-two-shoes Yusei stares. And I know she's smart enough to have found a figure quickly during the last challenge. I'm keeping my eye on her, no doubt."

0000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000

"Attention, competitors!" Chris said through the intercom. "It's time to fasten your seatbelts, because we're about to land at our destination."

In first class, Connie looked out the nearest window. The plane was slowly lowering towards what looked like a large, yet old, city. Not far below, they could see what looked like a bowl with windows, arches, and a large chunk off part of the top.

"That's the Coliseum," she said to her team. "We must be in Rome!"

"I was hoping we would go there," Ruby added.

Gaz took a quick look. "Not that impressive," she said.

Deadpool also looked. "I hope Chris has us do something fuAAAAAAAAHHHHH!"

The plane landed at that moment, and it was a very bumpy landing. Everyone on the plane was holding on to something, from chairs to their own seatbelts.

Finally, the aircraft grinded to a halt, and most people were frozen in fear.

Except Deadpool.

"THAT WAS AWESOME! LET'S DO THAT AGAIN!"

(Later…)

Once everyone was off the plane, Chef came with a bus and drove them around the city. A few people took pictures until the bus stopped at the Coliseum. The competitors walked inside.

"It's a lot bigger inside than it looks outside," said Ash.

"Still not as impressive as the Great Wall of China," Po added. Then the group noticed several identical chariots surrounding the area, but each looked basic and unfinished. In the center was a large pile of different parts.

Chris walked down the stairs of the seating area. "Impressive, isn't it? One of the Seven Wonders of the World, and the sight of today's challenge. Can anyone guess what that challenge is?"

Everyone shrugged.

"Then let me explain. You all are about to have a chariot demolition derby. Each member of both teams is going to build their own chariot. We already have the basic forms provided. All you need to do is build the rest. You can use the stuff in the middle to give your ride all sorts of cool features. Once the chariots are all done, the fun starts. You're going to use your chariots to take out the others. And you can, for any reason, go after your own team. The last chariot still functional will win invincibility for their team. Any questions?"

Double D counted the number of chariots. "You're one short. There's twenty-one of us, but only twenty chariots.

Chris nodded. "Thanks for pointing that out. You see, the producers want the number to be equal. Ten Moon chariots, and ten Star chariots. That means one member of the Mysterious Moons will have to sit this one out. Chef, bring in the bowl."

Chef carried a medium-sized glass bowl filled with folded slips of paper. "I'm going to pull the name of one member of the Mysterious Moons, and that person will be granted invincibility should the Moons lose. In exchange, that competitor is exempted from the challenge, cannot help their teammates in any way, and will spend the challenge as our announcer, in a classic Roman toga, vuvuzela, and everything. And Deadpool, a vuvuzela is a type of long noise making horn blown to announce sporting events, so put your hand down."

Deadpool slowly put his hand down. "Sheesh. Can't a man ask questions?"

0000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000

"We need our mechanic on our side," Connie said. "Please, don't draw Yusei!"

0000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000

"Please let it be Deadpool," Ash pleaded. "That would be hilarious."

0000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000

"I really want it to be Gaz," said Mandy. "I will freak out if it's not Gaz."

0000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000

Chris put his hand in the bowl and moved his hand through the pile of papers for a moment before pulling a name out. Quietly, he unfolded it.

"The lucky Moon is…..Yusei!"

And every single other Moon complained. "The one guy who's skilled in vehicles," Cynder moaned.

During the complaints, Yusei rested his face into his hand. "Why me?" he asked.

"Because I drew your name, idiot," Chris said. "There's a little area to your left where you can get dressed quietly. Go on. Shoo!"

Before Yusei walked to that area, he turned to face Chris. "Just so you know, the last time I had to deal with someone or something with the word 'Roman' in the name, things did not go so well for him. Keep that in mind." And he walked to the dressing area, silently cursing Chris as he walked.

He closed the curtain, blocking everyone's view of him. Lammy looked at the dressing area worriedly. "This isn't going to end well for him."

"I almost feel bad," said Nom Nom, who stood next to Chef. "Almost."

Most of the Moons were talking. "Looks like we'll have to rely on our own mechanical skills if we want to win this," said Julie. "At least some people were able to build their own MarioKarts last season."

"And some of us built Nom Nom's ride," Deadpool pointed out. "Afterwards, I secretly took his go-kart into the woods and smashed it."

Julie quickly stifled a giggle. Most of the veterans smiled, knowing the drama that had almost destroyed the friendship between Deadpool and Julie had vanished completely. And of course, no one could forget what Deadpool had said to Nom Nom that fateful day, and they considered that as what started the series of events that took Nom Nom down.

"I can probably get through this quickly," said Cynder. "Being a brainwashed soldier to a jerk of a dragon warlord and spending an adventure chained to another dragon teaches you a few things."

"Looks like there's nothing that should surprise us during this challenge," stated Lammy.

Everyone talked for a few minutes, but then Chris checked his watch and announced, "His five minutes are up. Yusei, you can come out now. Come out and show how Ancient Roman you are."

The curtain of the dressing area pulled back, and everyone stared. Yusei was now wearing a short-sleeved, yellowish-white toga, which fell to his ankles, where he still wore his normal boots. He was holding a red vuvuzela "I really can't believe those people wore this stuff," he complained. "It itches."

"I say it looks great on you," said Chris, laughing. Within seconds, every competitor (except Lammy, Gaz, and Mandy) was howling with laughter.

0000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000

Yusei was in his toga, looking around to see every part of it. "There's a friend I have back home who I know is laughing at me right now," he said. "Go ahead and laugh, Jack Atlas. At least I'm currently on TV, on screens around the world. Beat that."

0000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000

"He's got invincibility now, unfortunately," stated Nom Nom. "But this is rich!"

0000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000

Mandy and Gaz, while they weren't laughing, had their eyes open in amusement and surprise. Lammy was trying as hard as she could not to laugh.

"At least someone's using their self control," Yusei pointed out, but Lammy's effort was futile, and at that moment, she, too, burst into laughter. Yusei just sighed.

Harry shook his head. "You know you look absolutely ridiculous when even Lammy laughs."

"Thanks for the moral support." The sarcasm could not be unnoticed.

However, he was among the few who noticed something strange when Lammy laughed. Usually, when something like this happened to either Yusei or Lammy, they would almost always succeed in keeping their laughs subdued. And when Lammy failed, her laugh would come out as a simple giggle. This, however, was full laughter. And it raised some eyebrows.

"Now that we've all laughed at our poor friend here," Chris started, "we can begin the challenge. Everyone will have four hours to build their chariots, add as many special features as they please, and don't forget to name your chariot. And to make sure this part goes by quickly….."

The musical notes could be heard in the background, and everyone groaned. "I think this calls for some music," said Chris. "And Yusei, you may be immune, but you're still singing. Got that?"

"Singing, I can't help my team, AND a toga? Give me a break, here."

(Author's Note: Yeah, I wouldn't want to wear that thing either. And there will be info on this song's origins in the outro. Medium tempo, pop vibe, and a lot of working, this song is titled, "Work".)

Yusei: I can't believe this, man this sucks. Wearing this costume isn't worth the bucks.

Toph: If it makes you feel better, it's funny for us.

Julie: I have to agree, that's true.

*Deadpool is taking pictures*

Yusei: Oh come on, Deadpool. you too!?

Deadpool: Don't be such a sourpus! *continues taking pictures*

Toph and Connie: Were in a rush, yes we are!

Double D: I hope I don't get a repeat of the race with the Mario Karts.

Cynder and Gaz: So, I guess we have to work, work hard!

Ivy: Don't take no breaks! Just keep on working!

Mega Man: You're not our boss!

Ivy: I'm the supervisor.

Leo: No you're not, you liar!

*Ivy then tosses a piece of wood at him.*

Ivy: Why do you even care, Leo? We're on different teams, idiot!

Leo: So?

Double D and Po: So we gotta work! Work, yeah. Or else we'll lose.

All: Or else we will lose!

Mandy: Man, I hate this!

Gaz: I can't wait to punch Chris!

Yusei: You're not the only one.

Jak: Be quiet, all of you!

Daxter: What he said.

All: Because it's time to work!

Chris clapped his hand. "Not bad. And it looks like you were able to finish quickly."

Somehow, three hours went by while everyone was singing, and everyone was finished with their chariots.

"Not bad," Chris said. "Nom Nom, Yusei, both of you inspect each ride while I put my own outfit on. And Yusei, prepare to announce me as an emperor."

Yusei gulped. "You're laughing on the inside, aren't you?"

"Oh, big time," Nom Nom replied. Then they went down to look at each chariot.

The first one they looked at was Sonic's. The hedgehog had painted his chariot blue, and while it didn't seem to have much in the way of defense, there were twin thrusters on the back.

"Looks like you're going for the speed approach," said Nom Nom. "What kind of offense does it have?"

"I have a few attacks that will surely bring my own fighting style to mind," Sonic replied. "I call this beauty the Spin Dash."

Yusei nodded. "Not bad. Who's next?" He and Nom Nom walked over to Deadpool's chariot.

This fresh ride was painted red and black, and had a several platings of armor on the side and back, marking it as a vehicle focusing more on defense than speed. Its offensive attributes were a couple of cannons on the sides, and what looked like….microwaves?

"I am extremely confused as to what the microwaves are for," Yusei said. "Any explanation?"

"Only that it will be the best weapon ever! Me and the Chimichanga Chariot are going to take this challenge by storm!"

Nom Nom and Yusei gave it a thumbs up, still confused, and went to Lammy's ride. She, like Deadpool, had also focused on defense, but there were two slots on the sides. The chariot was painted pink and had some silver stripes.

"Guitar Tank. Ta da!"

"What are the slots for?" Nom Nom asked.

Lammy pushed a button in her car, and two guitars (both fake but just as strong) popped out of the slots. "I can either whack other rides or send them flying to the opponents. Cool, huh?"

"I certainly look forward to seeing it in the challenge," Yusei said.

"You won't be disappointed."

Nom Nom did a facepalm. He was slightly wishing he had a girlfriend.

Next was Mega Man. He had turned his chariot into a tank, with a blue paint job and several blasters scattered around the vehicle.

"And they say I'm a mechanic savvy," Yusei said quietly.

Mega Man smiled. "This thing focuses on defense and power over all else. What the Blue Behemoth lacks in speed, it makes up for in strength. Don't count us out just yet."

Cynder was next. She had a dark purple paint job and had decided on a speedy approach. She had also attached wings to both sides. "For a little power. This is the Night Bird."

Ruby had also focused on speed, but with a dark red look, rose shaped thrusters, and scythe-shaped blades on the back and sides. "My chariot is called Rose Blossom."

Harry had also gone for speed. His chariot was blue with stars painted on it, and had magnifying glasses on the sides to magnify some of his spells, but also had the least armor out of everyone. "The Wizard Weaver. I'm sure you're both pleased."

Gaz was also going for speed in this challenge, and her chariot had been given a gothic theme, with an indigo body, several spider webs, and cannons all around. "It's called Darkness. Enough said."

Next was Po, who had taken the tank approach. His car would be the slowest, but also with the strongest defenses, and was surrounded by several holes. "Some hidden weaponry. The Awesome Mobile will bring the thunder!"

Leo had also gone for defense. His vehicle had a silver body and several defensive plates. "You'll see the Bookworm in action soon. His secrets will then be seen."

Toph had also made a tank-like chariot, which seemed entirely made of rock. "No wheels, no problem. I move this thing with my own feet, while its rock structure ensures that I am able to move this no problem. No more secrets until Avalanche is in action."

Double D had also focused on defense, but his vehicle wasn't exactly a tank. There were several defensive plates, but the chariot looked almost like it did when they had started working. "The best offense is a good defense. My chariot is the Jawbreaker."

Ash and Pikachu had painted their chariot yellow and black, and was another speed car. "The Thunderbolt. Watch and see it rock and roll."

"Pika!"

Jak and Daxter didn't seem to have done anything to their chariot, but they explained quickly. "We programmed it to have different types of eco," Jak stated. "Red for strength, blue for speed, yellow for defense, and green will allow it to heal itself over time. This ride is appropriately named the Eco Star."

"And it's going to take you all down," said Daxter.

Mandy had made another durable tank, but unlike the others, her tank was actually a tank. It looked like one. "It's called Destroyer. That's because it will destroy everything in its path."

Ivy had her chariot painted green, and she seemed to be going for the middle group. "This thing can shoot vines strong enough to crush other vehicles. It's known as the Vine Tangler."

Moka's chariot was pink, and she was going for speed. "Just some speed and some special weaponry, and Sweet Kiss will do well."

Connie had gone for simple, with several spikes surrounding her chariot. "I think you get the point on this one. This thing's called Point."

Julie had several holes all over her chariot. "This will be my shooters coming out of the Tennis Court. A vehicle for defense, and ready for action."

Finally, Yusei and Nom Nom got to Rarity's chariot. And, well…..That's a lot of sparkles. It nearly blinded them.

"Did you have to bling it that much?" Nom Nom asked.

"That's the idea, silly," she said. "You can't attack me if you can't get through my glare. And just in case they do…"

She pressed a button, and two mirrors came out of the sides. "All I need to do is blind the enemy and then get in close. The mirrors are unbreakable, serving as melee weapons and sight inhibitors. That's the beauty of Sparkle."

"Not bad," said Nom Nom.

"I guess that means we've covered everyone," said Yusei. "Now we ca-"

Chris' voice was heard calling. "Yeah! So get your vuvuzela and introduce the emperor, Horn Boy!"

0000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000

"Normally I never feel bad for anyone," Gaz said. "But for the duelist, I can't help but wish it were someone else."

0000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000

Yusei took a deep breath and blew the vuvuzela as hard as he could. Then he got right down to business.

"Ladies, gentleman, and koala jerks!"

"HEY!"

"I now present to you…...Emperor Chris!"

The curtain pulled back, and Chris was wearing a Roman leaf crown on top of his head. "Might want to work on the introduction, Horn Boy. You didn't put any effort."

The duelist shook his head and sat down.

"Today, we find out who the strongest chariot gladiator is. You have all suited up your rides, and you may also use any abilities that you have. Last one standing wins invincibility for their team. Moons, if you lose, Yusei is already immune since he's my Horn Boy today. Speaking of which, at the sound of the horn, you may begin tearing your chariots apart. Horn Boy! Snap to it!"

Yusei gripped the horn again. "Can't believe I'm doing this." And he blew once again, and the chariots got moving.

Mandy quickly found Gaz and began gunning for her, but Gaz had the faster chariot, and was able to outrun her, so Mandy started firing from her turret at her. Gaz huffed in frustration and began dodging.

Other battles were taking place during the challenge. Deadpool was taking on Mega Man, and it was going well since the mercenary had the faster ride. However, he took a direct hit from one of Mega Man's tank blasters. The damage was minimal, but it caused Deadpool to spin out of control. When he got straightened out again, he smiled.

"Time to unleash my secret weapons!"

He pressed a button on his chariot, and the microwaves opened up and started firing hot chimichangas at Mega Man.

"He managed to make microwaves that fire unlimited chimichangas," Chris said. "Not bad."

"GET 'EM WHILE THEY'RE HOT!"

Finally, the onslaught of hot Mexican food was too much for Mega Man's Blue Behemoth, and the engine stopped, with Mega Man's vehicle in ruins and slightly melted from the hot food.

"And Mega Man is the first one out of the challenge! The Stars are down by one! Mega Man, leave your vehicle and get out of the arena."

0000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000

"My chariot was defeated by chimichangas?" Mega Man asked in disbelief. "How in the heck did that happen?"

0000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000

Cynder was zooming her way around the carnage, hoping to avoid anything she couldn't chew. Her chariot's wings were being used to avoid long-range attacks. Then, just as she had Moka in her sights, ready to zap her with her electro-blaster, she heard someone behind her.

"Reducto!"

Harry's spell zapped from his wand and through his magnifying glass, enlarging his spell and hitting the Night Bird. Unfortunately for Cynder, the damage was too much, and her chariot quickly gave out.

"Cynder, you're out!"

Cynder sighed and flew back to the bleachers. "This bites," she said.

Meanwhile, Toph was taking chunks of rock off of her chariot and was launching it at enemies, all while taking the rocks back to replenish her defense. Rarity was avoiding a few fights by shining her mirrors, but then her light caused Lammy to spin out and stop next to Sonic.

The hedgehog smiled and pressed a button, and his chariot started spinning at high speeds. Then, as fast as it could, the ride rammed Lammy's chariot so hard that it was almost squashed. Lammy managed to avoid getting hurt (much to Yusei's relief), but she took too much damage to continue.

"And Lammy's out!"

Jak was currently using yellow mode to shoot projectiles at Connie, who dodged and then pressed a button, sending one of her spikes flying to the Eco Star. Jak tried to make a shield, but yellow mode had been depleted and was on a recharge system. Daxter screamed as the spike skewered through the chariot, making it break down.

Ruby had found Rarity and was shooting her Crescent Rose at the flashy vehicle. Then, she pulled out a pair of sunglasses. "Now I understand why my sister gave me these," she said. With the sunglasses, she finally got close to Rarity and used a blade on the side of her own chariot to slice Sparkle in half.

Leo had managed to use his hidden weaponry to avoid a fight with Toph. He had made a force field that not only blocked attacks, but shot projectiles back at the sender. However, this also gave him the attention of Ivy, who wrapped her vines around Leo's chariot and crushed it, eliminating Leo from the game.

The challenge continued like this for some time. Harry was zooming left and right, defeating Julie, Ash, and Connie, while Po took down Double D, Ivy, and Toph with his weaponry (cannons all over and some feet on the side). Moka had revealed a weapon that shoots a deadly kiss mark at anyone, and Deadpool was eventually hit by one, knocking him out of the challenge. In turn, Ruby sliced through Moka's chariot as well. Through it all, Mandy and Gaz were still battling each other.

"Do you really think you stand a chance against me?" Mandy asked.

"I don't have to," Gaz replied. "You're stupid enough not to make much of an effort!"

"WHY YOU LITTLE!"

She charged at her, but Gaz was ready. She quickly pressed a button, and a glowing beam hit Mandy's tank dead center. Mandy had to step aside as her powerful chariot melted into a blob.

"YOU'LL PAY FOR THAT, YOU LITTLE *censored*!"

0000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000

"THIS MEANS WAR!" Mandy exclaimed.

0000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000

This left Gaz, Ruby, Po, Sonic, and Harry. Gaz was firing more beams at Sonic, but the hedgehog's chariot was just a little bit faster, and quickly used Spin Dash to destroy Darkness, much to Mandy's pleasure. And Harry managed another defeat, using his magic to finally take out Ruby. However, his car was looking banged up. He had only taken glancing blows the entire challenge, but his low defenses made those attacks more serious than they seemed at first.

Po realized this and shot a beam at the wizard. It hit him straight on and finally took him out. This left Po and Sonic.

"Take him down!" Connie exclaimed.

"You got this!" yelled Mega Man.

Sonic rammed Po, but Po attacked with his melee kicking. Whenever Sonic tried to attack, Po would block with another attack.

Mandy looked at the fight, There was no way she was letting Gaz's team win. So she got a mirror left over from Rarity's chariot and started shining it on Po's face.

It did the trick. The light distracted Po, and while he tried to shield it from his eyes, Sonic saw his golden opportunity. He started using Spin Dash to repeatedly ram Po's chariot. The poor panda was too shocked to defend himself. And eventually, his beast of a chariot finally gave out.

"And Po's out!" Chris announced. "That means that the winner of this challenge, representing the Shooting Stars, is Sonic!"

The Stars cheered, while the Moons all huffed in defeat.

"Mysterious Moons, you did well, but I'll see you at the elimination ceremony."

"Hey Chris," Yusei asked. "Can I get rid of this stupid horn now?"

"Sure."

Yusei took the vuvuzela and forced it on his leg, snapping the horn in two. He threw the pieces aside and turned back to Chris.

"Can I destroy the toga too?"

"Knock yourself out."

Deadpool turned to the camera. "Due to the graphic nature of the clothing violence that the lovely TheMasterKat is imagining as she types this, here's a picture of a regular hedgehog painted blue instead."

(For five seconds, a picture of a normal everyday hedgehog painted blue is shown, and it's super cute!)

Everyone stared at the shattered remains of the costume that had humiliated Yusei so much during this challenge (he had worn his regular shirt and pants under the toga; his jacket was back on the plane). Most people were in shock, particularly Rarity. Heck, for once, Gaz's eyes actually looked open. Yusei looked down at the ruined toga and felt satisfied.

"That felt good," he said.

0000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000

"He ruined a perfectly good article of clothing," Rarity wailed. "Why?!"

0000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000

"This proves that even the nicest of people can be really violent in these situations," said Double D.

0000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000

"I have newfound respect for that guy," Gaz said.

0000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000

"Looks like we have the chopping block to get to," Julie said.

0000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000

Yusei, Lammy, Julie, Deadpool, Ruby, and Gaz were all in Economy. "So who are our options?" Julie asked.

"Some of us didn't even get to do anything during the challenge," Lammy said. "But there are others who did a lot, only to fall at the last minute."

"What about me?" Ruby asked.

Deadpool smiled. "You should be fine. You did well during the challenge. But others just plain sucked."

"Well, I thought Cynder would be able to last longer than she did," Yusei added. "She was eliminated from the challenge pretty early."

Gaz rolled her eyes. "I say we get rid of Po," she said. "He could've won today, but he was taken out."

"That wasn't his fault," Julie responded. "Mandy had the mirror. She distracted him. I saw her wave it in his direction. I agree with Yusei on this one. Cynder should have lasted longer."

"Besides, even if it's still a bit early to eliminate the weaker ones, she's able to fly, is a dragon, and has the potential for a huge threat level," said Lammy.

Deadpool sighed in defeat. "Do we have to eliminate either Cynder or Po? Both of them are really cool."

"We might as well let the team know," Ruby said. "Cynder or Po."

(Later…)

The Moons were all sitting in the elimination room, having already cast their votes. Chris came in with several sacks of peanuts. "Eleven Moons, ten bags, one loser. You've all cast your votes, and this is where judgment happens."

He took the peanuts and got ready to throw them.

"To begin, since he was my announcer for the challenge, Horn Boy was given invincibility. And he looked awesome in that toga, but the toga looked more awesome when it was destroy-"

"Will you just give me the peanuts already?!" Yusei asked.

"Fine," Chris said, throwing a bag at him.

"Julie."

"Ruby."

"Leo."

"Ash."

"Connie."

"Lammy."

"Deadpool."

"And Gaz."

Gaz caught her bag, leaving Po and Cynder.

"And the bottom two are both newbies," Chris said. "How about that? Po, you were able to last almost the entire challenge, only to be defeated at the last minute. And mistakes aren't something these people don't take lightly. Cynder, you were only the second one taken out, as well as the first from the Moons. So let's see where this ends."

Cynder was patiently awaiting the results while Po was nervously tapping his foot.

"The final bag goes to…"

"..."

"..."

"..."

"..."

"..."

"..."

"..."

"..."

"..."

"...Po."

Po caught the bag. "Booyah!"

0000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000

"Po only lost because Mandy had a mirror and an evil brain," said Leo. "Cynder's able to do several things Po can't, giving her threat status right off the bat."

0000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000

"Dragons vs. pandas," Deadpool said. "Guess who would win?"

0000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000

Cynder didn't say a word as she flew out of the plane and out of sight.

"That was fun," Chris said. "Moons, enjoy Economy."

(Later…)

The Moons were all back in Economy, and Ruby, Julie, and Deadpool were all laughing at something they were looking at on Deadpool's laptop.

Yusei walked over to them, curious. "What are you all laughing at?" he asked.

"Nothing," Ruby said, giggling.

Unconvinced, the duelist took the laptop and saw the pictures Deadpool had taken earlier of Yusei in that toga.

"Please tell me you did not just post those online."

Deadpool looked in every direction. "Oops."

(Meanwhile…)

The Stars were all in first class, eating some cookies (except Mega Man, of course), when they heard a dragon yell throughout the entire plane.

"What was that?" Moka asked.

Toph smiled. "I think Yusei found those photos Deadpool posted."

Five seconds later, Deadpool ran right through the room, screaming. He was being chased by Stardust Dragon (who made that yell), with Yusei close behind, his duel disk on.

"DON'T EAT ME! DON'T EAT ME! DON'T EAT ME!"

"GET BACK HERE, YOU COWARD!"

The Stars started laughing. "Now this is what I call fun," said Mega Man.

And they watched while Deadpool was chased around by a sparkly dragon.

0000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000

And that is why you never post pictures online of a Yu-gi-oh character in an embarrassing costume.

Cynder's the second competitor out, and the first newbie. I like her, and I've played The Legend of Spyro and Skylanders, but I didn't see her playing much of a role in future plotlines.

The Ancient Romans would be proud to know there was a chariot event in the Coliseum that paid homage to them. I only wish they knew how to turn their chariots into beasts like the ones in this chapter and have a super fun demolition derby.

Gaz and Mandy are starting to have a more serious rivalry. This time around, Gaz won the battle, but Mandy won the war.

And the glorious destruction of a perfectly good toga was priceless.

Lastly, I want to thank MrTempleguy for helping me with this song as well as the last one (the first one was purely my creation). Some of the songs throughout this story will be my own, but if any of you want to help me with the songs, let me know.

Next up, the competitors fly to another new spot: the Louisiana bayous. Two competitors are face to face with a fear they share, one ends up in a tight, sandy spot, and we get some backstory from someone who's not even a competitor.

That will be fun.

With that in mind, remember to read and review, fav and follow, send in challenge and destination suggestions, give me song ideas, and don't forget the good-luck messages.

(Deadpool runs through the room, still screaming, still being chased by Stardust Dragon.)

Deadpool: "SOMEBODY HELP ME!"

(laughing) Now that's probably going to be the highlight of my day. TheMasterKat out!
