We have another interdimensional challenge at Yokai Academy, Moka's school. It's a school built especially for monsters. What could go wrong?
As you are about to find out, a lot.
0000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000
Chris' recap: "Last time on Total Drama Everything 2, our competitors got what they thought would be a super-fun free day in London, England. Too bad the group was chased down. In the London streets, the infamous serial killer Jack the Ripper chased down each competitor and took them one by one. Of course, during most of the scenario, poor Yusei was going through the most serious case of heartbreak I have ever seen. I mean, oh my God, he was down in the dumps. See that, Lammy? I hope you learn from that. Deadpool and Julie both tried to help him, but their attempts were in vain. Then Nom Nom decided to give his rival a leg up, and he talked to him, snapped at him, insulted him, and literally slapped some sense into him. I really don't know how, but that did the trick. When Deadpool and Julie found themselves biting off more than they could chew with Jack the Ripper, Yusei stepped up to the plate with Lammy's guitar-which Lammy had mysteriously left on the plane-and fought the serial killer. Somehow, Yusei kicked his butt, only to find out it was a challenge the whole time, and Jack the Ripper was our demon-hunter friend Dante. He's still mad that we docked his pay. And Yusei's victory brought the Mysterious Moons to first-class, and the Shooting Stars to elimination. And Toph made the mistake of letting Ivy know she was onto her, so it was bye-bye Toph, but not before she hugged Mega Man to warn him. Interesting. Lastly, Deadpool also knows about Ivy thanks to a message from a random girl. And he was quite shocked. We have another interdimensional challenge today, and will both Mega Man and Deadpool put their info to use? Whether you find out or not, just continue to watch this newest exciting episode of Total. Drama. Everything 2!"
*theme song*
"Ivy is doing what?" Julie asked.
Deadpool nodded. "Yep. The message I got said exactly that. I don't know who Ivy has sent home exactly, but I have my guesses."
"Like?"
"I didn't believe her lie after the Egypt challenge. Smart girl like that? Would have found a statue in a flash. Ash left his post? Ivy accused him in the first place. Po was distracted by the smell of roast chicken? Toph once told me she had a bottle of chicken perfume so she could track her own smelling. And there's no way she would want to use it like that. And didn't Toph just get eliminated? I don't know why, but the notion that Ivy had something to do with it is scratching my brain."
Julie smiled. "And everyone, except me, believes you're as dumb as rocks."
Then Deadpool burped. "I'm sorry, did you say something?"
"Ha! Nice. And about Ivy, I did see her hang out with Mandy over the past few days. Do you think that's a warning sign? Should we tell the rest of the team."
"Probably. I don't want them left in the dark about this."
"Totally. Let's kick some Ivy butt."
Deadpool looked around. "Speaking of butt kickers, where's the Yusmeister?"
Turns out, the "Yusmeister" was only on the other side of the room, where the rest of the team was listening in on his lecture known as "Dueling 101".
"The last kind of the spells are the Field Spells. In an actual match, with duel disks and everything, the field takes a different appearance as depicted on the card. And it includes a special effect or two. For example, the Field Spell known as Ancient Forest will give the field the appearance of a forest, as well as almost completely barring your monsters from Defense, and if they attack, they get destroyed. Pretty simple."
"That did not seem simple," said Connie.
Deadpool walked with Julie to where everyone else was. "How much is there to explain about that game?" Deadpool asked.
"A lot."
"Wonderful."
Then Deadpool tapped Julie's shoulder and whispered in her ear, "There's something else from that message that concerns Yusei."
"What is it?"
"The thing is-"
Nom Nom came bursting through the room. "Sorry, guys. Chris is working me like a dog. I did NOT think being an intern would be this crazy. Then again, I should've expected it to be so since it's Chris."
Ruby asked, "Why did you decide to be an intern anyway?"
The koala tried to avoid looking at Yusei. "Because I really wanted to stay on TV."
"I can understand that," Yusei said while also trying to avoid looking at Nom Nom.
"Oh, and the duelist has a message from home," Nom Nom said as he threw the device at him, then ran out the door.
Yusei looked at the device for a few seconds before he beckoned Deadpool and Julie to come closer so they could watch the message, then turned on the device to start the video.
(Yusei's message, submitted by SAM-MOO-RHAI)
Akiza: Hey, Yusei. (Akiza starts to blush and get very shy to say something, but then she continues) I have heard from Crow that Lammy broke up with you for unknown reasons and I just want you to let you know that if you ever want to talk about anything, you can always talk to me. (Akiza smiles at Yusei and then she continues) And Yusei, there is something I want you to know. Something I have always wanted to let you know. (Akiza tries to say it, but she is too shy. But after 30 seconds, she finally says it) Yusei, I lo,...(Before Akiza does get the chance to say anything, Luna suddenly come into her room.)
Luna: Hey, Akiza! What are you...(Luna suddenly see the camera and starts to blush in embarrassing way) Uh, oops! Did I interrupt something?
Akiza: (sighs very deep) No, Luna. You did not interrupt anything. (Akiza looks back at the camera) But anyway, looks like I will wait to talk about that thing when you come back from the show. And Yusei! (Akiza gives Yusei a wink) I hope you win!
*end*
"And we have another person here with interesting friends," Deadpool said. "I thought I was the only one."
Yusei put the device on the table. "You've met a demon hunter, two spies, and several other people who keep interesting company, and you still think you're the only one with interesting friends?"
"Point taken and thrown back at me."
0000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000
"Amazing what a fight with a serial killer/demon hunter can do to a guy," Deadpool said. "It can make you battle for your own life, but it also helps you get over heartbreak."
0000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000
Then, something caught Julie's eye, and she turned to see what it was. It was Leo, and he appeared to be deep in thought. Curious, she walked over to him.
"Leo?" she asked. "Is something wrong?"
After five seconds, Leo shook his head. "No, I'm fine. Why do you ask?"
"Because you look like you have something on your mind."
Leo giggled. "Aww. I didn't know you cared."
That got him a glass of water splashed onto his face. Julie shook her head as she walked back to Yusei and Deadpool.
"Still better than slapping him in the face," Deadpool said once he was sure Leo couldn't hear the conversation.
"Don't you think you're being a little too harsh?" Yusei asked.
Julie replied, "Maybe so, but I just can't have a crush right now."
"Ben was months ago," Deadpool reminded her. "Julie, if Yusei can escape from the grips of confusing love, so can you. And may I point out that he took his own break up worse than you did when you and Ben split? Oh, Yusei? You're not mad that I brought that up, are you?"
Yusei shrugged. "I'll just bring up your struggling marriage with Shiklah and get back at you. Besides, you do have a point."
"Guys, I need you to stop worrying about my love life," Julie said. "Whether or not I decide to trust Leo completely is not up to you."
Deadpool sighed and said, "I guess you're right. Still, you can't deny that he's good looking. Makes me jealous. My face doesn't come close." To prove a point, he took off his mask, and both Yusei and Julie covered their eyes.
"Deadpool, really?!"
"Put it back on! Put it back on!"
(Meanwhile…)
"So what's your deal with Gaz?" Ivy asked Mandy as both were sitting in the cafeteria.
Mandy replied, "She thinks she can do whatever the heck I do. Act the way I do, never smile the way I never smile, and the only difference is that ugly outfit of hers."
"I admit, even I would be a little angry if I had someone resemble me so much."
"Exactly. That's why we're going to eliminate her. There's only room for one 'me' on this plane. And that must be me."
"At least you're not as insane as my friend Harley."
"I had better not be."
As they talked, Gaz walked past them and briefly caught Mandy's eye. Both stared at each other with pure hatred before Gaz dropped her gaze.
0000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000
"She has actually formed an alliance with that eco-terrorist," Gaz stated. "Thing is, the one thing I am thinking of more than taking Mandy down is wondering if Ivy will betray her first.
"After all, she had already been betrayed by Nom Nom; the price she paid for siding with the spies. I am interested in finding out if Ivy will do the same."
0000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000
Gaz walked back to the first-class room and sat down next to the mini fridge. Then she pulled out her Game Slave and started playing a video game. Soon, she became aware that Double D was watching.
"Not my kind of entertainment."
This distraction was enough for Gaz's video game character to get killed by a zombie. A frustrated Gaz turned and asked, "What do you want?"
"I was a little curious as to what you were playing on that game," Double D replied. "It seems fun, though I'm not a fan of zombies."
"Then maybe you need to get out more," Gaz responded as she restarted her game.
"Actually, one of my friends is a zombie fanatic, and he's the reason I don't like them."
"Well, kudos to your friend. Now can you please not let me get killed a second time?"
Double D nodded. "Carry on, then." And he left the room.
Little did Gaz know, Connie was also watching.
"It's only a matter of time before you admit it to yourself that you like Double D."
Once again, Gaz's video game character was eaten by a zombie horde. "Is everyone going to do this? Is everyone going to interrupt me when I'm in zombie killing mode? And Connie, I have said it a million times, and I will say it again. I. Do. Not. Like. Double. D."
"And yet, you two can't seem to leave each other alone."
"That's coincidence, Double D's a spineless little wimp, and I do not like him! Now, if anyone else interrupts me when I'm killing zombies, I am going to lose it!"
With those words, Gaz took her Game Slave and left the room so she could keep playing in the luggage room.
"So who wants to make a bet that she'll admit her feelings for Double D?" Deadpool asked.
Within five minutes, every single Moon (except Double D and Gaz, duh) had put something into the betting pool. Deadpool bet an ice cream sandwich on Gaz admitting it by the end of the day; Connie bet a free sword lesson with the Gems on the next two eliminations; Ruby threw in a chocolate bar on Gaz admitting it by the next three eliminations; Yusei threw in a free ride on his duel runner on the next five eliminations; Julie bet twenty dollars on Gaz admitting it before she would be eliminated herself (if the previous wagers were to expire); and Leo bet a free trip to Nohr on Gaz not admitting it at all before her presumptive elimination.
"So it looks like everyone's placed something into the pool," Deadpool said. "Oh this reminds me of how I got my famous name."
"What if the winner has already been eliminated before it's decided?" Ruby asked.
"Then we'll mail everything to them," Julie replied. "Well, everything that can be mailed. As for both the Nohr trip, the sword lesson, and the duel runner ride, those can be taken care of by the winner themselves. Lastly, once a winner is decided, he or she can give away one of the rewards to someone else. Is everyone in agreement?"
The group nodded.
Deadpool smiled as everyone put their hands in the middle. "Then may the best Moon win."
"One, two, three, MOONS!"
(Meanwhile…)
"Got any 6's?" Harry asked Moka as they played Go Fish.
"Nope. Go Fish."
Harry shrugged as he grabbed a card from the pile. "Looks like there's still no one else except that Tsukune guy who can take the necklace off," he said. "What's Inner Moka like anyway?"
"I don't know how I can explain it, but I can say that she's a whole different me. She sometimes talks to me about things, but she doesn't really appear unless the rosary comes off. I'm hoping that doesn't happen. She's not exactly the nicest person in the world."
A second later, Double D came into the room. And he looked pale.
"Did Gaz scare you?" Harry asked. Double D nodded.
Daxter, who sat nearby while Jak was snoozing, stifled a laugh. "She's not that scary. Sure, she's not the right person to be sitting next to. And she always has that scowl. Not to mention that her eyes almost always seem closed, which brings chills up my spine…..Okay, she's a little scary."
"And yet, you like her," Moka told Double D.
"Is everyone going to assume I like her? She's the scariest person I have ever met. And considering I'm on her team, I have a first-person view of that scary attitude 24/7."
"Double D and Gaz, sitting in a tree! K-I-S-S-I-N-G!"
"Daxter!"
This argument finally woke Jak up from his nap, and he looked at them all. "You all need to shut up," he told them.
Moka was about to respond when the plane suddenly started shaking violently. Everyone on the plane grabbed onto whatever was nearby and held on for dear life.
Once it stopped, Double D ran back to his team in first-class. "I'm guessing we just landed?" he asked.
Julie looked out the window. "Yep. In fact, I think we have another interdimensional one on our hands, because the only thing I can see for miles is a giant portal."
(Five minutes later…)
"Is this plane always going to land this way?" Leo asked as everyone climbed out of the plane.
Chris just said, "There's no runway, so we didn't have much of a choice."
"You still make it hard for us to hold onto our lunches, runway or not," said Mandy.
"True. Anyway, today's challenge is another interdimensional adventure into a fictional world. We're going to Yokai Academy!"
It didn't take five seconds for Moka to get excited. Heck, it didn't take a second. Her elation was immediate.
"We're going to Yokai Academy! That's my school! I hope I can give you the chance to meet all of my friends, particularly Tsukune. He's a really great guy, and I can't wait for you all to meet him. This is going to be the best challenge ever!"
"I can see someone's excited," Chris stated. "Anyway, everyone needs to get through the portal so I can explain the challenge."
One by one, everyone walked through the portal and came to a long road leading into a tunnel, so dark that no one could see inside it. And waiting for them was a typical school bus. Chris led them to the doors, and they opened to reveal a weird-looking man.
"This guy provides transportation between the human world and the school," Chris explained. "He'll lead us to our destination."
Moka was the first to board the bus, and the bus driver immediately tipped his hat. "Welcome back, Moka. I see you have a lot of passengers."
"I know. Give credit to this reality show. How's Tsukune?"
"Waiting for you. As are the rest of your friends."
Chris was the last to get on the bus. "Is everything prepared for the challenge?"
"The entire student body and staff is ready," said the driver.
"Fantastic. Everyone, we'll give details of the challenge once we arrive at the school. Driver, take it away."
The driver immediately floored the gas pedal, and five minutes later, the bus had gone through the long tunnel and had stopped at a dirt road leading into a forest.
"That's it right there," the driver told the group. "Yokai Academy is through the woods."
"Well that was the shortest bus ride ever," said Nom Nom, who was also on the bus.
Soon, everyone was off the bus and walking through the forest, following Chris' lead.
"So what kind of monsters are in this school?" Harry asked Moka.
"A bunch of monsters from throughout history, mythology, and stuff like that. Even monsters that don't really make sense. My friends and I dealt with a trio like that. The rule is that while we all know we're monsters, we can't reveal our monster identities. Personally, I think that rule is pretty obsolete since everyone breaks it on a daily business."
Double D looked around the forest. "What Ed wouldn't give to be visiting a school filled with his favorite things. Eddy would probably just try and find out what kind of jawbreakers they have here, and then exploit the students and staff so he can get said jawbreakers."
"Are the jawbreakers where you live as big as you described?" Moka asked.
"Personally, I don't think I described them as big enough."
"Alright, we're here," said Chris, who immediately stopped the group, but he stopped them a little too abruptly, and they all walked right into each other.
Once they managed to correct themselves, they all set their sights on a large group of buildings. These were all dominated by one large building in the front of the campus.
"Not bad," said Leo as they walked on.
0000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000
"Now this is the type of school I can hang out at," said Leo.
0000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000
"I think I found my kind of place," said Gaz.
0000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000
As they got closer to the main building, Moka suddenly saw someone waiting at the fence. He was an average-looking teenage boy with dark brown hair. And once he saw the group, he was showing the same excitement as Moka was. But once they saw each other, their excitement was filled to the brim.
"Moka!"
"Tsukune!"
As quickly as she could, Moka pushed her way through the group and practically jumped onto poor Tsukune.
"I have missed you so much!"
Tsukune, though he appeared a little nervous, greeted her with the same kind of enthusiasm. "I missed you too. And so have the others."
"Ahem."
Moka heard Chris clear his throat, and Moka quickly composed herself. "I got the blood you sent me," she said. "Thank you so much. How did you even manage to get it all?"
0000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000
Tsukune was a little apprehensive about being in the confessional. "Am I even allowed to be in here?" he asked.
Chef's hand came through the door and gave him a thumbs up.
"Okay then. Anyway, do not ask where I got all that blood. Some things are best left unanswered."
0000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000
"How have the others been?" Moka asked.
"Good. All of them can't wait to see you, though at the same time, all of them CAN wait to see you."
Moka giggled. "Okay, what's the damage?"
"Kurumu has taken to occupying your room just because it's closer to my room than hers. Yukari has taken to serving me breakfast, lunch, and dinner every single day. And Mizore built a wax statue of me and hides it in her closet."
Deadpool raised his hand. "You mean you have the best luck I have ever heard of when it comes to girls?" he asked. "You are so lucky!"
"Honestly, I'm used to it. But are you saying you really want something like that?"
Deadpool nodded.
"Is he for real?" Tsukune asked.
Moka nodded and said, "Well, you at least have to meet everyone. Guys, introduce yourself to Tsukune."
One by one, each of the competitors introduced themselves to Tsukune. A few people, like Yusei and Mega Man, shook hands with him. Others, like Mandy, just said their names. And a couple, like Ruby, Sonic, and Jak, gave him a fistbump.
The last two to introduce themselves were Harry and Double D.
"So, Harry and Double D? You're the ones Moka mostly hangs out with on the plane?"
Harry nodded. "Absolutely," said Double D.
"Fantastic," he shook both their hands. "Any friend of Moka's is a friend of mine."
"So what do you think of everyone?" Moka asked Tsukune.
Tsukune looked at the group and said, "They all seem really cool."
Moka smiled and got a little closer to him. At first, it looked like the two were going to kiss. Then Moka went right for his neck.
"Sorry, but it smells so good and I left the supply on the plane."
"Moka, what ar-AAAAAAAAGH!"
In front of the camera, a bat suddenly flew down. "Well, we haven't started this chapter's challenge yet, and already we've had Moka take a drink. Sit tight, readers. This fanfiction's getting interesting."
0000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000
"Why did I just hear a bat talking?" Deadpool asked. "And more importantly, why was it breaking the fourth wall? That's my job!"
0000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000
Once everyone stopped laughing at the fact that Moka had just gotten some blood and Tsukune looked freaked out, Chris led them into the building. "Now that we've all had our introductions and laughs, we can get to the challenge. Every single student and every single staff member is involved. The task is simple. Across the school, there are seventy-five little tokens called Monster Prints, five for each person. They look like this."
He held up a silver coin. The tails side was blank, but the heads side had an engraving of a monstrous claw. "Your goal is for each competitor to find five of these Prints. After you have all five, you can bring them to Tsukune for your final challenge. First person to complete this challenge will win it for their team. Easy enough."
"I hate when he says it's going to be easy," said Mandy. "That's when you know it's not."
"And you are correct. For starters, it's a big school. Finding these Prints could be like finding a needle in a haystack. Classrooms, the pool, bedrooms, bathrooms, the possibilities are endless. In addition, each student and staff member knows where the prints are, and a few are even holding one or two. And they have been tasked with guarding this information from you by any means necessary. It is your job to weasel the information out of them. How? Use your imagination. And Moka, even your friends aren't exceptions to the rule. They will also be guarding information as much as possible."
Moka sighed.
"I'm sorry, but that's how it's fair. You all can look for tokens manually, or deal with the monsters. And some of these guys are tough. You may have a fight on your hands. So think carefully about how you want to do this.
"Lastly, there are two extra Prints out there. Unlike the others, the first one is black. Whoever finds this will have automatic immunity if their team loses today. The second one is gold. Whoever finds that token gets to choose who from the losing team to be eliminated, with the exception of the black Print holder if that's the case. A very powerful item for this game."
Gaz thought, "Eliminate Mandy."
Mandy thought, "Eliminate Gaz."
"Any questions?" Chris asked.
Deadpool raised his hand.
"No questions then? In that case, let the Print search begin!"
Everyone quickly ran out of the building and in different directions throughout the school. As Moka passed Tsukune, he nodded in appreciation. "Good luck."
Moka smiled. "Thanks."
0000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000
"I am so glad to be reunited with Tsukune," Moka stated. "Best day ever!"
0000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000
The entire group started their hunt. A few people were going for the monster-weaseling approach, as Yusei demonstrated when he approached a random guy by the flagpole.
"So what would it take to get you to tell me where to find a Print?" he asked.
The student shook his head. "Ha! You're kidding, right? What could you possibly do that would get me to spill the beans?"
Yusei smiled, duel disk in hand.
Five seconds later, the student was so scared that his donkey ears popped out as he looked at the looming Stardust Dragon.
"You were saying?" Yusei asked
Completely scared, the student caved. "There's a Print in the Math Lab. There, you have some info. Just please make that dragon go away!"
Yusei nodded and put Stardust back in the deck. The Chris, who had watched, came over and nodded.
"He didn't have a Print, but now Yusei has the location of one. Well done. And note that now that you have gotten Print info from someone, you can't ask that same person again."
Chris ran off, and Yusei headed in the direction of the Math Lab (there was a map right next to the donkey guy).
Others took a creepier approach, like when Deadpool confronted someone near the gym, and he managed to get the Print he was holding by….taking off his mask.
"Put it back on! I'll give you the Print I'm holding if you put your mask back on!"
Deadpool pulled back on the mask and was handed the Print. "Pleasure doing business with you, sir," he said as he ran off.
Chris checked his watch. "Okay, we need something to pass the time. Oh, you can't beat the classic method."
Ding! Ding! Ding!
"And there it is," Julie muttered as she was bargaining with another student.
"Everyone complains," Chris said. "Why? I love singing. What's so bad about singing?"
(Author's Note: Finally, I came up with a song! These things are hard to make. Well, this one has a cool pop beat with a slightly fast tempo, and is called "Monsters All Around".)
Deadpool: There's monsters all around
But I can't tell what is what.
All I know is that none are that scary
Sonic: There's monsters all around
And I gotta push right on
Before the challenge gets too hairy (Sonic finds a Print under a classroom desk)
Mandy: (looking in another classroom) There's monsters all around
But I can't dwell on it all
Gotta make sure that Gaz takes the drop
Leo: There's monsters all around
And yet that still doesn't compare
To Julie's rejections that won't stop
All: We gotta do the challenge
But we must deal
With the monsters all around!
Moka: (finds a Print in her own dorm room) I am happy to be here
And to see my friends again
Especially my dear, dear Tsukune
Yusei: (gets the print from the math room) At least I don't see bugs
And I am pretty confident
That this challenge is turning out okay
Ruby: (gets a Print from a student) There's monsters all around
But they are nothing compared to Grimm
And I know the Moons can do this
Ivy: There's monsters all around
But they don't compare to me
There's absolutely nothing to this (finds a Print inside a greenhouse)
All: We gotta do the challenge
But we have to deal with
The monsters all around
They don't seem all that scary
But we can't forget
There are monsters all around!
Chris nodded. "Not bad," he said through the school's intercom. "And by the looks of it, so far, everyone has at least one Print. Excellent."
0000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000
"I have to remember to throttle Chris once this challenge is done," Mandy said. "I don't know how much more of this singing I can take."
0000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000
Ruby, out of a hunch, was about to check the swimming area. She was simply curious, and hadn't asked anyone about it. Once she walked in, she came upon a familiar face, and that face looked a little nervous.
"Sonic? Is something wrong?"
The hedgehog looked at her. "I can see a Print down in the pool. And of course, I can't get it. Why does water have to be so scary?"
"And yet, you could probably run across it."
"Ha ha. Funny."
As they talked, Ivy walked past the building, and stopped to hear the conversation from outside. This may be some interesting ammo to use on the two speedsters.
"I can go down and get it for you," Ruby said. "You were the one who actually found it, so it's a fair trade."
"If you insist."
Ruby nodded and jumped into the water. Twenty seconds later, she surfaced, waving the Print in her hand. Sonic smiled as she climbed out of the pool.
"Thanks, Ruby."
"Sure thing." She handed him the Print, but Sonic shook his head.
"I was the one who found it, yes," he said. "But you actually retrieved it for me. It's more fair for you to have it."
This surprised Ruby. "Are you sure?"
"Absolutely."
Then, out of the blue, Ruby just stepped towards him and hugged him. "Thanks." Both smiled.
Ivy watched as the both exited the building. Neither Ruby nor Sonic could see Ivy, which was a good thing, because she was beaming with joy.
After all, any leverage she found would be good for both her and Mandy.
0000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000
"Two people from opposite teams helping each other," Ivy said. "This is something brilliant. A little piece of evidence to a, oh I don't know, betrayal?
"While I can point out how I watched Yusei help Lammy with her shyness last season, neither of them actually threw a challenge for the other's team. Ruby and Sonic, however, could be a different story.
"Blackmail! I love it!"
0000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000
Nom Nom, who had been given the challenge off to explore the school, was having fun. Befitting a koala, he decided to take his camera and go on a monster safari, all with an imitation of Steve Irwin.
"And welcome to Nom Nom's Monster Adventure!" he said to the camera. "This is where myself, an Internet celebrity koala, explores the jungle that is Yokai Academy."
Just a few rooms away, someone else was grabbing a Print off the top of a chalkboard. Yusei grabbed a yard stick and started pushing the coin off.
"And another Print bites the dust," he said. That's when he heard Nom Nom doing his safari.
"What we just passed was the subspecies of monster known as the-oh, I don't really know. They're not showing their monster identities. Can my adventure recover from this?"
And he got just the material when he walked into the right classroom.
"This, viewers, is not a monster," Nom Nom told the camera. "It is a subspecies of human known as the Yusei Fudo. Watch how this puzzling specimen takes the yard stick and releases the coin from its perch. How about that? This is an intriguing sight we are seeing."
"Nom Nom, what the heck are you doing?" Yusei asked as he finally grabbed the Print.
"I wanted to see if I could pull off Steve Irwin. Do you think I did?"
Yusei shook his head. "Needs work."
"Everyone's a critic."
"So why the sudden lack of crazy teasing? Besides the safari show?"
Nom Nom laughed and said, "I'm trying this whole 'nice guy' routine out. I figured it was the least I could do. After all, you fixed my camera."
That reminded Yusei of what happened back in London. "But that was the least that I could do. I never would've had the guts to face Jack the Ripper, let alone actually win, if you hadn't reminded me of the mistake I was making in letting Lammy get to my head."
"When will you ever learn that I'm always right?"
"Says the guy who eliminated half the competitors last season, backstabbed both his alliance members, and cheated to get far in the game."
"Oh, you had to bring that up?"
"Just saying."
"We're never going to fully see eye to eye, are we?"
"Probably not."
"But at least right there, we finally agree on something."
"We agree that we'll never agree? Wonderful."
(Meanwhile…)
Deadpool had caught up with Julie, and they were both still searching.
"Moka never mentioned how big her school was," Deadpool said. "This is just insane. Completely insane. Bruce Banner taking anger management classes-insane."
"At least she's clearly never bored," Julie stated.
As they walked, Ivy was walking down a hallway right next to theirs. Neither could see the other, but they could hear each other. Ivy stayed quiet so she wouldn't be detected, her excitement rising.
"So what are we going to do about Ivy and Mandy?" Julie asked. "You know we're going to have to tell the rest of the team."
At this, Ivy bit her lip to keep from freaking out; eliminating Toph hadn't been enough.
"First chance we get, we're going to have to tell them. Stars too. We can't leave them in the dark."
"And what was it you were going to tell me earlier? Had to do with Yusei?"
"Right. What he needs to know is why-"
Before Deadpool could spill the beans, a girl started passing by them in the hallway. She was wearing a sweater vest and skirt, and she had blue hair. "Hello, there," she told the two. "How are you doing?"
Julie looked a little apprehensive, but Deadpool held up his hand. "Just fine, missy." Clearly, he was looking quite interested. He took the girl's hand and started shaking it. "I'm Deadpool. And you are?"
The girl laughed and pulled away her hand. "I'm Kurumu. Boy, don't you look nice? Where did you get the suit?"
"Made it myself. It takes a man of considerable skill to make a suit as cool as mine. Though I admit the design is a little familiar."
Yep, Deadpool was smitten. Luckily, Julie got things back on track.
"So, do you know where we can get a Print?" she asked Kurumu.
That was all it took to deflate Kurumu's mood. "Dang it. Note to self: never seduce a guy if they are already hanging out with a girl."
"I'm guessing you're a succubus?" Deadpool asked, having escaped his trance. "Awesome. My wife is one too."
"Really?"
"In fact, she's also queen of the Monster Metropolis in our world."
"Tell her I would like to meet her."
Julie shook her head out of amusement. "So, the Prints?"
"There's one each in the bathrooms on the first floor. Knock yourself out."
"Great," Julie said. "Thanks."
"One more thing," Kurumu told them. "If you see Moka, tell her I said hi, and that Tsukune's mine."
"Will do," Julie said as she and Deadpool walked off. As they did, Deadpool mouthed out, "Call me" and waved.
Once Kurumu was out of sight, Julie added, "You know this is a high school, and all the girls here are probably too young for you, right?"
"Thanks for reminding me," Deadpool said, sulking.
And once they were out of earshot, Ivy started laughing and headed for the bathrooms.
(Somewhere else in the school…)
Harry and Double D had also found some of Moka's friends. In fact, they were having a quick chat with two witches, Yukari and Ruby (not to be confused with the competitor).
"So when are you and that Gaz person going to start dating?" Yukari kept asking Double D.
"When are you going to stop pestering me about it? Gaz and I are not like that."
Yukari giggled and said, "You should see your friend Connie pushing the subject to Gaz as we speak."
As they talked, Harry was having a more composed conversation with Ruby.
"So smart for a child," Harry said. "I can see why she's so excitable."
"You should see her when she gets near Tsukune," Ruby told him.
Harry nodded. "So you both know Moka?"
"We're friends with her. That's why neither of us had any problem giving you two our Prints. That, and Yukari had been itching to meet someone as smart as Double D, and I had been hoping to meet quite a legend when it comes to magic."
"You both should meet everyone at Hogwarts. That's my school. And there are a number of people there who would certainly like to meet you."
"Indeed."
0000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000
"Hermione, I think I found you a couple of study partners," Harry said. "Ron, you just got some people to teach Quidditch to."
0000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000
Gaz was in the cafeteria, looking under several tables. "Why are there so many tables?"
As she looked, she started to feel a strange chill. Trying to ignore it, she kept looking. Then a weird voice made her pause.
"When are you going to admit your feelings for the sockhead?"
Gaz turned to see an ice-pale girl with cobalt hair, and she was sucking on a lollipop. And she certainly looked a little creepy. Though not scared, Gaz was apprehensive. "And who are you exactly?"
"Mizore. Friend of Moka's. Nice to meet you."
"Uh, hi."
Okay, this person was definitely Gaz's style. "What question did you just ask me?"
"I asked when you were going to admit your feelings for the sockhead."
And that was when the annoyance struck. "Ugh, you sound like Connie. How many times to I have to tell everyone that I do not like the shrimp?"
"Don't you think that maybe Connie's right?" Mizore asked. "I mean, we all watch the show. By now, it's pretty obvious." She pulled the lollipop out of her mouth, as if making a point. "The way I see it, it's only a matter of time."
This conversation was starting to get on Gaz's nerves. "Do you at least have a Print? Or know where I can find one?"
"Tell Moka to back away from Tsukune and I'll give you the one I'm holding."
"Deal."
Mizore threw the Print to Gaz. Then Gaz looked at it for a second, and her eyes widened (incredible, right?) when she realized it was the black Print.
"This will show that Mandy!" she exclaimed. "Thanks, Mizore."
"Yep."
0000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000
"No elimination for this girl," said Gaz, waving the Print up in the air.
0000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000
"Ruby and Sonic have jeopardized themselves by helping each other out, and Deadpool knows about the alliance," Ivy told Mandy. "Looks like we have a lot to do in order to keep under wraps."
"I highly doubt they'll be a problem to us yet," Mandy said. "In fact, I have something that will wipe the smile off of someone's face."
She showed Ivy a gold Print. "How did you get that?" Ivy asked.
"I ran into a guy hiding in the girls' restroom while I was searching. He said his name was Gin, and he was a werewolf. Thing is, a werewolf holds no threat against me, and I shook the Print off him without a single effort."
"Not bad," Ivy said. "Looks like I made the right choice of an alliance partner. So are you going after Gaz?"
Mandy raised an eyebrow. "What do you think?"
"Mandy, my dear, you are pure evil."
"Proud of it."
(Later…)
After another hour, the first person to get all five Prints was Moka (since this was her school, she knew her away around). Deadpool was the second person to finish (Julie was still looking for one more Print). Both handed their Prints to Tsukune.
"Moka, Deadpool, congratulations," Chris said. "Both of you have made it to the final challenge, meaning the Mysterious Moons and Shooting Stars are neck and neck. But be warned that this final challenge is not as easy as finding the Prints. Now please follow us."
The competitors followed Chris, Chef, and Tsukune down a long staircase. "I don't remember this being part of the school," Moka said.
"Because it was literally just built for today," Chris explained. "The most dangerous part of today is right down here."
Finally, they came to a stone door. Chris and Tsukune both pushed on it, and it opened to reveal a large stone chamber. It was mostly empty, except for the center, which had a large statue of something big, and resembling a…
"Minotaur," Chris said.
Then, just like that, the statue's eyes opened and glowed red. Then the stone skin started to shed, and the minotaur burst out of its stone body and let out a really loud roar.
"Are you insane?!" Moka asked Chris.
"Just defeat the guy. Whoever does so wins the challenge!"
Tsukune looked at the minotaur and gulped. "Chris didn't say you guys would have to fight something like that!"
Then, Moka noticed something. Deadpool was actually silent. And even his mask didn't hide the fact that he was scared stiff and close to freaking out.
"Nice cow," he kept muttering. "Nice cow."
0000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000
"Okay, I miiiiiiight be afraid of cows," Deadpool said. "Being completely alone tops my Fear Chart, but cows are a close second."
0000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000
"Ivy, did you hear that?" Mandy asked
Sure enough, everyone had heard that minotaur yell.
"I think we found the final task," Julie muttered.
"That did not sound safe," Connie said.
"Should we be scared?" Daxter asked Jak.
(Meanwhile…)
"It's just a cow," Moka told Deadpool.
"Yeah, you're right. A scary, giant cow on steroids, but just a cow. Sure, it won't do me harm at all."
Chris laughed. "Nice sarcasm."
The minotaur looked around, once at Deadpool, then at Moka, then at Chris and Tsukune. Just as suddenly as how he awoke, he started charging towards the two. They both got out of the way, but the minotaur kept going and ran out the door and up the stairs.
"I think the big guy's loose," Chef told Chris.
"You think? Turn on the loudspeaker."
Once they had it on, Chris yelled to the entire school, "Code BEEF! Repeat! Code BEEF! We got a runaway minotaur in progress. All normal Yokai students, run for your lives! All competitors, the normal Print challenge is cancelled. Just get rid of the minotaur!"
Everyone ran out of the chamber (Deadpool, who was still scared stiff, had to be pulled out by Moka) and to the flagpole, where the minotaur was standing. Five seconds later, the other competitors ran outside to check out the scene.
"What the heck is that?" Yusei asked.
"A scary barbecue," Mega Man replied. "That's what."
Now everyone was looking at the minotaur, who now had his sights set on both Moka and Tsukune. Tsukune was able to dodge again, but this time, the giant cow grabbed Moka, who blew in her face.
"Hey, let me go right now!"
"What she said!" Tsukune said as he started chucking bricks at it. Deadpool finally managed to get over the initial fear and shoot his guns at the minotaur's wrist, which made it drop Moka. Tsukune ran to her and helped her land safely.
"I'm guessing you're used to this too?" Ruby asked Tsukune as she managed to temporarily disable the minotaur's legs with Crescent Rose.
"Pretty much," Tsukune replied as he and Moka backed away.
Then something clawed the minotaur in the back, and it turned out to be Kurumu. "No way was I going to miss this," she told everyone. "And I brought company."
Sure enough, Yukari, Mizore, and Ruby (the witch, not the competitor) arrived at the scene. Mizore shot several ice blasts at the minotaur's eyes, while the witches, plus Harry, launched several magic attacks.
Still, not even this could bring down the minotaur. Soon, it caught sights of a new target: Double D.
"Run, you idiot!" Gaz yelled. But he, like Deadpool earlier, was too scared to move as the minotaur walked over to him.
And one thing that Gaz noticed was exactly how she said it. Her voice….filled with fear.
"Maybe you should clear away from the carnage," Mega Man told Tsukune.
"Good idea," he said. But as he did, he tripped on a rock. And as he threw his arms forward to brace himself from falling….
….he accidentally knocked Moka's rosary off her neck.
Suddenly, she started glowing. Tsukune got up and realized what had just happened. "Now you guys might all want to step back."
"Is this what I think it is?" Harry asked.
"Yes."
Almost immediately, Moka started undergoing a strange transformation. Bats started swarming all around her, and she started changing in several ways, like her *sigh* breast and hip size noticeably changed, her hair turned from pink to snowy white, and her eyes became red (for those of you who watch Rosario + Vampire, it's pretty much the same transformation style).
Just like that, it was complete. Standing in front of everyone was a completely different Moka.
"That's Inner Moka?" Chris asked.
"That's her," Tsukune said.
Inner Moka turned her attention to the minotaur, who was still ready to attack a freaked-out Double D. "Leave him alone," she said, her voice cool and collective, and completely different from Moka's normal voice.
The minotaur looked at her and threw his fist to her, but she easily stopped it with her hands. Then she kicked the minotaur in the face, making it howl in pain.
"Someone need to teach you how to know your place," said Inner Moka. "I would be happy to oblige."
She turned to Double D. "You! Clear out of here, kid."
Double D nodded and ran over to Tsukune and Harry. "Double D, are you okay?" Tsukune asked.
"Yeah."
Gaz sighed in relief. Double D wasn't hurt. That was good….wait a minute! Was she worrying about Double D just now? And the way she tried yelling at him to run earlier. Was she that worried? There simply couldn't be any possible explanation. Unless….
….oh no.
The minotaur tried attacking Inner Moka again, but she jumped up and kicked him again, this time sending him to the ground. Everyone backed away as Inner Moka kicked him again when he tried to get up.
"My turn," she said. Then she once again kicked the minotaur in the face, making it fly around twenty feet before hitting the ground with a thud. She then walked up to it and picked him up by the horns.
"Have you had enough yet?" she asked.
And the minotaur started crying like a little baby, then nodded to her. Just as comically, he started sucking his thumb while still crying his eyes out.
"Aww, did you have to hurt his feelings like that?" Chris asked.
The bat from earlier once again flew in front of the camera. "And this epic fight scene took a respectable...oh, forget it. This is a fanfiction, not a television sh-"
"HEY! BREAKING THE FOURTH WALL IS MY JOB!"
Deadpool started chasing the bat around, while the bat kept saying, "Please don't hurt me! Please don't hurt me!"
POW! BANG! POW!
The mercenary walked back to the group, completely satisfied. "That should teach him."
Inner Moka rolled her eyes and looked at the group. "I've been looking forward to meeting you all, especially those who were able to supply me with fresh blood. You guys have my thanks."
Everyone gave a thumbs up, before she turned over to Tsukune, Double D, and Harry.
"You're not hurt, are you?" she asked Double D, who shook his head.
"Good." She looked at both Harry and Double D. "Are you two the ones who befriended Moka on the plane?"
"Yes," Harry said.
"Of course," Double D stated.
Inner Moka smiled. "In that case, I owe you both my thanks for all your help."
"No problem," Harry added.
"That was amazing," Double D said. "You really saved me back there. Thank you."
"I just hope you don't hesitate much longer," Inner Moka told him. "Not everyone is what they seem."
Double D nodded, and the comment made Gaz shudder.
"You two, keep doing what you're doing," Inner Moka said. "Look after my other half." She shook both their hands.
"Will do," Harry said.
"We'll do our best," Double D said.
Lastly, Inner Moka turned to Tsukune, as well as Kurumu, the witches, and Mizore. "Still think I have no chance, Kurumu?"
"Okay, I was wrong," Kurumu pouted. "Don't rub it in."
"Well, I'll see you all soon," Inner Moka said. "Tsukune, do you have the rosary?"
Tsukune handed the rosary to her. "Good luck in the rest of the competition."
"You won't have much to worry about," Inner Moka said as she reattached the rosary. "We'll both be in good hands…."
Once the rosary was reattached, she briefly glowed for a second before transforming back into regular Moka, who fell onto Tsukune, exhausted.
"Did I hurt anyone?" she asked him
Tsukune laughed. "Just the minotaur's feelings."
They looked at the minotaur, who was still crying.
"What about Double D?"
"He's fine."
"Good."
Chris checked his watch. "Okay, let's wrap this up. Since Moka defeated the minotaur and humiliated him into next week, we're giving the challenge to the Shooting Stars."
This caused all of the Stars to cheer their hearts out, though Mandy just nodded.
"As for the Prints, though we ended that part of the challenge early, did anyone claim the gold Print?"
Mandy held it up in the air, looking smug.
"Good. Mandy gets to choose which Moon takes the drop. But did any of the Moons claim the black Print?"
Gaz held up the black Print. "Right here."
"Then Mandy cannot choose Gaz to eliminate. I'm sure she's pretty angry right now."
Sure enough, everything Mandy said for the next twenty seconds had to be censored. But the fact that she was protected from Mandy, for once, was not Gaz's main concern.
"I guess this is it for now?" Tsukune asked.
"Pretty much," Moka said. "I'll see you all soon." She waved at the girls behind Tsukune, and then leaned in to kiss him.
Or, in this case, drink his blood again.
"Moka, what the heck!"
Everyone laughed.
0000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000
"She had the black Print," Mandy seethed. "(censored)"
0000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000
"No telling who Mandy will pick, as long as it's not me," said Ruby.
0000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000
"Why did Gaz almost freak out earlier?" Leo asked.
0000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000
"Moka took that cow down!" Deadpool exclaimed. "Take that, bovine Hulk Hogan!"
0000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000
"Connie!"
Everyone was back on the plane, and Gaz was running to Connie, who was just about to enter Economy.
"Gaz, what is it?"
To Connie's surprise, Gaz looked ready to panic. "You were right," she said. "I like him."
Connie smiled. "I knew it would be sooner or later."
"Don't rub it in," Gaz said. "Now, if you'll excuse me, I am going to the luggage room to bang my head against the wall until the elimination." And she ran back down the hall.
Connie laughed and went inside, where the rest of the team (except Double D) was sitting.
"She admitted it!" she cheered. "She likes him!"
"That means I win the bet!" Deadpool exclaimed. "Everyone who wagered a readily available object, pay up."
Ruby handed him the chocolate bar, while Julie gave him twenty dollars.
"Pleasure doing business with you, ladies," Deadpool said. "As for the rest of you, I am excited. Connie, the Gems are about to see a sword fighter unlike anything they have ever seen. Yusei, I can't wait until I find what it's like to ride your shiny red bike. And Leo, is Nohr lovely this time of year?"
Leo nodded.
"Good."
"Is anyone else hoping Mandy does not pick Deadpool to be eliminated tonight?" Connie asked.
(Meanwhile…)
"That's pretty much it in a nutshell," Harry told Moka as they were sitting in the cafeteria with Double D. They were explaining what happened when Moka was Inner Moka.
"I feel bad for that minotaur," Moka said. "Yeah, he was going to kill Double D, but did I really have to hurt his pride?"
Double D shrugged. "Better his pride than my bones."
"Fair point."
"I can already imagine Ed and Eddy's reactions," Double D said. "Ed will be bummed that he missed a good fight between a powerful vampire and a minotaur. Eddy will be jealous that I talked with the other you."
Harry shook his head. "I think this may be the craziest day we've had so far in this competition."
"No doubt," Moka said. "But at least we have friends to get us through it."
"That's no question," Double D said.
All three high fived.
(In first class…)
"If we can't eliminate Gaz, who else do we eliminate?" Mandy asked.
Ivy smiled. "Let's go down the list. Connie wields her sword like a boss. Then there's Yusei, the Moons's resident tech geek. Julie's competitive nature and athletic ability. Ruby has speed. Leo and Double D have intelligence. And Deadpool is their best fighter."
They both thought for a second. "Of course, Deadpool and Julie both know about us," Mandy said.
"That is something to worry about."
"Perhaps we need to send them a message."
"Eliminate one, and the other will back off."
"They'll become too scared, knowing they could become next if they spill the beans."
"Send a message that Ivy and Mandy are not to be messed with."
Ivy smiled. "Then I think our choice is clear."
(Later…)
The Moons were all sitting in the elimination room, where Chris, Chef, Nom Nom, and Mandy were all waiting.
"Eight Moons, and Mandy is ready to take one out of this game for good. Gaz, since you claimed the black Print, you're safe. Everyone else, cross your fingers and hope Mandy doesn't pick you. Mandy, have you made your decision?"
Mandy nodded. "Indeed I have." She walked over to the group, all awaiting the answer.
One by one, she glanced at each one. And those glances made each Moon nervous. She looked at Connie, then Yusei, then Ruby, then Deadpool, back to Ruby, then to Leo, to Julie, then Double D, then back to Leo, back to Connie.
Finally, she stopped. And the person in front of her braced himself.
"Deadpool, it's curtains for you."
Julie was visibly shocked, but didn't say anything. Yusei also stayed silent. The rest of the team was pretty surprised.
And Deadpool himself was pretty shocked. But still he smiled.
"Did Ivy put you up to this decision?"
Mandy's face fell. "You wouldn't."
"I would." He turned to the rest of the Moons.
"I am going to channel out my inner Rarity in this statement. Guys, the Stars' Batman supervillainess Ivy has been has been working behind the scenes and warping eliminations the way she wants them to go. Just like Nom Nom before her."
"What do you mean?" Ruby asked.
Deadpool continued, "Ash and Pikachu? Ivy caused the distraction that turned them away from the bayou challenge. Po? She had the roast chicken perfume to distract him. Toph? She knew too much. And I'm sure she might have done something about Snake. And recently, she has formed an alliance with Mandy. How 'bout them apples?"
Mandy looked about to explode. "Ivy and I should have known you would spill the beans!"
"Newsflash: I'm the Merc with the Mouth. Not the Merc with the Secret Keeping. You eliminated me, but I did my job."
"Okay, this is taking too long," Chris said. "Chef, get him out of here."
Chef grabbed Deadpool and started dragging him to the opening. "Wait, no parachute?"
"You have a healing factor," Chris said. "You'll be fine."
Deadpool rolled his eyes. "Guys, let the Stars know. We need them on this! Julie, Yusei, this competition is all you!"
"On it!" they both said.
"And Yusei, there's something you need to know about Lammy!"
Nothing today piqued Yusei's interest more than this. "Deadpool, hurry, say it!"
"The reason she did what she did was because-"
"Yes?"
"She-"
Before he could finish, Chef threw him through the opening and off the plane. Yusei and Julie both ran to the opening, but by then, Deadpool was out of sight.
Julie stayed silent for five seconds, looking outside the door. "We'll have to do exactly what he says," she told Yusei, but he ignored her.
"What was he going to say about Lammy?" he asked.
Julie shook her head. "I don't know."
(Later…)
"He didn't!" Ivy said in disbelief.
Mandy nodded. "He did. That's just perfect! Our cover is blown, the Stars are probably going to know by the end of the night, and we're going to have both teams to deal with. This is just wonderful!"
Ivy sat thoughtfully. "We both know that it's going to be harder to maintain control of the game now that everyone's onto us. Still, Nom Nom did it. If he can, we can."
"Why would you say that?"
"Because unlike Nom Nom, I have a few secret weapons."
To prove a point, she blew a puff of pink dust into the air.
"And that's just part of my arsenal. Trust me. Everyone on this plane is going down."
(Meanwhile…)
"He tried to tell me a few times earlier today, but wasn't able to," Julie said.
Yusei leaned back against the wall. "As if I didn't have enough to worry about. First, I get dumped, then Deadpool gets eliminated, we have to deal with Ivy, and now it turns out Lammy did have a reason we don't know about. Can someone tell me what else can happen before I completely lose it?"
Julie bit her lip. "Well, things are about to get very interesting. But all we can do is do what Deadpool told us. Finish this competition to the best of our abilities."
"And the Stars?"
"Double D is friends with Moka and Harry. He's told them, and they're telling the rest of the Stars as we speak."
Yusei laughed a little bit. "Sad thing is, I don't know what I'm more scared of. That there's something about Lammy that I have to find out, or that Deadpool has a free ride with my duel runner? I hold nothing against the guy, even though I chased him around with Stardust, but I feel that by the time this is all over, I am going to need to make serious repairs. Why did I set that security system to Chris and no one else?"
"You think you're scared?" Leo called from across the room. "I now have my home in Nohr to worry about."
"Don't forget the Gems," Connie said. "I'm scared about their reactions."
Ruby sighed. "Let's never make bets again."
All of the Moons said, "Agreed."

Deadpool: Hello, readers of TheMasterKat's wonder TDE series. Unfortunately, our friend TheMasterKat is currently unavailable for the outro.
(A muffled scream is heard in the background.)
Deadpool: Oh, shut up. After finally overcoming her writers' block, she has finally released her latest chapter and eliminated-you guessed it-me. Needless to say, I am completely bummed.
Dp: Still, I once again made a big TDE move and exposed Ivy and Mandy to my team, and those two are mad. Especially Mandy. And yet, those two are already looking to put it behind them and take everyone down.
(That scream is heard again.)
Dp: I'll let you go in a second! Anyway, on the subject of Moka, she reunited with her friend Tsukune, unleashed her inner power, and rescued her friend all in one day. Good for her. And she made that minotaur sorry. And yes, it is official Marvel canon that I hate cows. Don't judge me. And it looks like it has strengthened the friendship between Harry, Moka, and Double D. Nice.
Dp: Oh yeah, and it has seemingly awoken Gaz's hidden feeling for Double D. She finally admitted it, and I won the bet. I can't wait to enjoy the bulk of my loot.
Dp: Lastly, my two remaining peeps in the game, Julie and Yusei, have something new to worry about. Combine both their love problems, and I see something crazy happening on the horizon.
Dp: As for the current results of the poll and reviews on your favorite competitor, Moka is in first with nine, Leo and Yusei are both tied for second with three, Ruby, Julie and I have two each, and Toph, Double D, Dante, Lammy, and Cynder each have one. Remember that if you have already voted, you can't vote again. That also goes for the guests. I'm watching you! But please, keep voting for me.
Dp: Anyway, that should be it. I promise that TheMasterKat will be back to do the outro next time. Now, on to next chapter's rundown…
Dp: It's a bummer Ash has already been eliminated, because these guys are going to the Pokémon world to catch 'em all! But it's not all fun. One competitor's nasty seeds start to sprout. Another competitor is on a mission to protect the other competitors however he knows how, but it turns out to be a tough job, and one part of his mission is used for a completely funnier purpose. Oh, why did I have to get eliminated right before this one?
Dp: Well, I'll tell you guys now to read and review, fav and follow, send in good-luck messages and audition tapes, ask questions to the eliminated, and please don't kill the lovely TheMasterKat for eliminating me. Now if you'll excuse me, I am going to enjoy my bet winnings.
(At that moment, I hop into the room, gagged and tied to a chair.) Mhhhhmmmm! (Translation: Deadpool!) (Deadpool looks at the camera and laughs nervously.)
Dp: It's not what it looks like! (runs off)
(I look at the camera and roll my eyes.) Mhhmmmmm hmmh! (Translation: TheMasterKat out!)
