REVIEW RESPONSES!:
Artamis9: Looks like Ferguson has a fan!
PurpleShadowManipulator: The Jun meme lives on, even in your review! Also the food battle being plot-heavy was completely intentional, especially since it's the best way to develop the characters and make the challenges interesting since we haven't exactly reached the over-the-top ones yet.
Yeah, the K-Shida's (Pre-Swap) was the least affected team last chapter since they were mostly already dysfunctional and didn't go into elimination.
Well, the thing is about Hannah being placed onto The Losers Team...she's sorta now known as a person who will keep secrets from other people meaning that she can't be completely trusted in some people's eyes, especially since she did motivate Ferguson to get better.
It was indeed Sunny's chapter which led to some people disliking him and now he's a proper villain, yeah Evan and Alex aren't in the position thanks to this swap, for sure.
I'm glad you have enjoyed Ferguson's emotional roller coaster, because I have been writing this, hopefully I won't be feeling Kay levels of bad for him by the time his story ends.
I knew that Rae's elimination would at the very least shock you since Rae seemed to be in a pretty great position to make it to the end, mainly because she seemed like a safer bet to make it to the end compared to someone like Sunny who already has a big target on his back.
Luckily, Symbiote Rival isn't the one that's being used so don't expect deadly challenges...yet.
Guess we'll have to wait and see if this chapter surprises ya and thanks for calling last chapter "legendary" by the way, I know you're always looking forward to these so I'm just hoping I can keep delivering!
gamergirl101: Things will only get more chaotic from here!
Nobody245: It's surprising yet unsurprising that the swap happened, also if last chapter was more dedicated to the bullied people of the cast, then that was completely unintentional.
Evan had became a true police officer by stopping violence rather than enhancing it...for about ten seconds but I hope you enjoyed that moment, Jared could be able to make things up with Lia depending on which route I take him in this story, Ferguson and whether or not he'll be able to overcome the feelings of betrayal and become the competitor he wants to be will be seen eventually, and yeah Leo is currently still under Sunny's control and you'll have to wait and see if he'll be able to break out of it before it's too late.
Evan and Alex will try turning the tides, although from the looks of it you seem sure that Evan will be able to help turn the tides, we'll see if that will be the case however.
Jun and Hannah definitely are the top two targets from an outsider's perspective, Ingrid being the swing vote is a nice observation and I'm glad to see you're making pretty good observations with The Losers Team.
The Five Souls will be an interesting team indeed, especially since the dynamics seem to be the one which will be the hardest to figure compared to the other teams.
It looks like Ferguson has another supporter! (Excluding your OC, of course).
Glad to see you're curious about Rae's backstory, I'll probably reveal it at a later time. Also I'm glad to see you're hating the villains so far, although adding in Rainy and Leo in there sounds fair considering their connections to Sunny. But, I'm happy to see you like Ferguson, Miriam, Chloe, and Kyle!
Gucci Mane LaFlare: Yeah, I don't think I really wrote Rae as well as I could have, sadly.
I'm glad to hear you're really beginning to like Hannah, I know she doesn't have focus like her sister did, but at least she's your favorite character that isn't yours!
At least you like him, from what I've seen from others, I may have written Sunny a bit too villainous.
Indeed, Rival as a host is a concept I just came up with at the moment, but I hope you and everyone else will enjoy him being the host for now.
Candela Monsoon: I'm glad to see that last chapter really did throw your brain through a bunch of loops, Sunny does indeed need a therapist that can actually fight although that would probably not even be enough anyways.
Of course Rae's and Rainy's relationship needed to end messily, I don't build up friendships for no reason, Kay would agree with me there. And Tara being the temporary medic seemed fitting since there was actually no nurses from my previous stories.
Welcome to the Ferguson fan club where multiple other people have joined! Hannah got EXPOSED though, indeed.
That pill scene might or might have not been just added there last minute, but I'm glad you enjoyed Miriam's quip against Jun.
#JarLia, also the fact that there is a potential ship in every gross-food related episode is on complete accident, especially since it also happened with Merion (Mara x Therion) which had another OC you created! XD
Goodnight! Also thank you for your birthday story for me!
Now, I'm just gonna get straight into the chapter! And no, I'm not gonna steal Candela's line here...for now :)
LeeandLie-This Game (English Cover of No Game No Life's Intro)
"Won't hesitate, I know we won't lose our way."
Evan was seen holding a bow and had a pack of arrows strapped onto his back.
"And this road we have chosen's no mistake."

"I can see that the way to a victory begins with this paaath!"
Hannah and Ferguson were seen looking away from each other.
"We Are Maverick."

"We won't give in until we win This Game."
Miriam was seen smiling while there was fire behind her.
"Though I don't know what tomorrow holds,"
Jared and Lia look ahead of them, Lia's eyes were brown.
"I'll make a bet and play my cards to win, This Game!"
Ciara and Kyle stood by each other, however, Kyle had his hands in his pockets and Ciara was looking at Jared while smirking.
"Unlike the rest, I'll do my best,"
The camera then showed Evan, Alex, Rainy, Leo, and Sunny, The new K-Shida's.
"And I won't ever lose!"
Before showing the new Losers Team which consisted of Hannah, Ferguson, Chloe, Ingrid, and Jun.
"To give up this chance would be a deadly sin,"
It lastly shows Miriam, Jared, Lia, Ciara, and Kyle in the final team shot, they were The Five Souls.
"So let's bet it aaaall."
Sunny, Jun, and Jared were all seen running away from their respective teams.
"I'll put all my faith in us, so let-"
All of them charged towards one another.
"The Games Begin-"
Sunny, Jun, and Jared all get ready to punch one another.
"We Are Maverick!"
Jun and Jared ducked below Sunny's punch however.
"Shall we begin!? Only the strong will win!"
Evan was seen firing his arrow which Jun was barely able to dodge.
"We'll surpass the challenges it takes to win!"
Jun then kisses the cross he's wearing before Jared was seen pointing over to Lia.
"So put your bet iiiiiin!"
Sunny turns around and he looks over at Lia.
"I'll put all my faith in us, so let-"
Lia was seen beginning to charge towards Sunny, only for a lightning bolt to strike between the two.
"The Games Begiiiiiiin!"
Rival was seen standing in front of everyone while smirking, a silhouette was seen behind Rival before Rival winks at the camera and it turns to black.
Total Drama: Move Along
Episode 8: Giving Up
*The K-Shida's (Post-Swap)*
The sun was seen rising like normal, however the clouds were covering the sunrise and so it was shining on everyone on this new day. Everything including the New K-Shida's cabin weren't in clear daylight now, but everything seemed duller than they normally did. However, the camera entered the cabin anyways before showing Sunny slowly wake up with a big smile on his face, he slowly gets up from his bed before looking around the cabin and he sees that Rainy was the only person awake. He decides to stand up and he walks over to his sister, there were now three bunk beds inside their cabin, the camera showed that Sunny slept on the top bunk of one of the bunk beds while Leo slept below him, Rainy however, had a bunk bed all to herself and she slept on the bottom of it. Alex and Evan had their own bunk bed also, Evan slept on the top while Alex slept on the bottom of their bunk bed.
"Morning, Sis." Sunny says before he sits down by Rainy, Rainy looks at him with a face depleted of emotion like always.
"Good morning, brother." Rainy simply responds, she somehow had less emotion and less excitement in her voice than before.
"How was your sleep?" Sunny didn't notice this at all and instead he just smiled at her, he was completely oblivious to what his sister was feeling.
"Nothing noteworthy which is to be expected, How is Leo doing?" Rainy questions before looking over at Leon Salvatore while he was still asleep.
"Aren't you the empath?" Sunny points out while tilting his head, Rainy then sighs after hearing this.
"I just want to get your opinion on how do you think Leo feels about everything." Rainy states, she kept staring over at the Lionheart Brawler.
"Why, are you trying to become Valentina Guerra?" Sunny remarks with a smirk on his face and crossed arms.
"Who?" Rainy asks while tilting her head.
"Oh right, wrong show." Sunny says before he looks away and coughs a little.
"Are you sick?" Rainy questions after seeing this, Sunny then looks at her and shakes his head.
"Nah, but I do think that Alex and Evan will be unable to take any medicine to heal themselves up if they do try throwing the challenges." Sunny states while clenching his fist.
"Y-Yeah, they will..." Rainy responds before looking away, hearing Sunny shift from making a reference to something she didn't understand, to threatening their other teammates' lives if they pull a Scott.
"Speaking of those two, Which of them do you think we should vote out if we do lose a challenge?" Sunny asks before staring at Alex and Evan while the pair were still asleep, Rainy looked at them afterwards and she blinks.
"I don't think we should worry about that for now." Rainy answers the question by avoiding the questions entirely, she looks back at Sunny after somewhat answering his question.
"When you put it like that, it makes sense, we've got the numbers! When the time comes, I'll just choose whichever of the two we should eliminate!" Sunny declares, he laughs afterwards before he stands up and puts his hands behind his back.
"W-Whatever you say..." Rainy responds before she stands up and walks away from Sunny, she began going on over to the competitors who are in the minority of their team, Sunny watches her walk away with a confident smile.
"I don't worry have to worry about Rainy's loyalty to me, I'm the only person left in this game who she is close to, and besides, if she's willing to vote out her closest friend in this game because I told her to do so, so I don't have to worry about her...however, I can't say the say for someone else." A frown slowly appears on Sunny's face while he thinks to himself, he looks away from Rainy and he looks over at Leo before he takes his hands out from behind his head while he stares at the Lionheart Brawler.
"Ahhh, today is the beginning of a new week, but most importantly, today is a new day!" Leo declares proudly, he seemed to be in a good mood this morning while he looks around the place. He looks around the place before he eventually sees Sunny's frown on his face which makes his eyes widened, Leo immediately sits up and he straightens his back, his proud and smile seen now turning into a nervous one. Sunny's frown slowly turns into a grimace after seeing this and so he walks on over to Mr. Salvatore with his grimace, he then sits down by him while Leo stares at him with a look of fear.
"Good morning, beta male~" Sunny flirtily yet in a condescending toned voice.
"G-Good morning, my superior." Leo greets before looking down, Sunny chuckled a little after seeing this.
"You remembered, good job~" Sunny responds once more before he quickly kissed Leo's lips and his grimace got wider.
"T-Thank you for the k-kiss." Leo says while nodding, he still had a nervous smile on his face which Sunny didn't seem to notice or care about.
"You are welcome, so, What were you dreaming about?" Sunny asks, this causes Leo to look down and he began remembering what he was dreaming about.
"...I prefer not talking about it." Leo states after he realizes what he dreamt about, he stares at Sunny with a serious look upon saying this which makes Sunny sigh.
"Alright, you can get away with not answering me this time." Sunny responds before crossing his arms, he knew from the last time he tried pushing Leo too hard, he couldn't go too far with pushing Leo.
"T-Thank you." Leo says while sighing in relief, his serious look goes away and he goes back to his look of fear.
"I'm a very kind god, aren't I?" Sunny asks, he smirks a little while asking this.
"THAT'S THE WORST LIE I'VE HEARD!" Jun's voice was somehow heard which makes Sunny grit his teeth.
"YOU SHUT YOUR RELIGIOUS MOUTH, JUN KAMOSHIDA!" Sunny shouts back at Jun's voice.
"S-S-Sunny?" Leo questions with a look of concerned while Sunny was seen glaring at the wall.
"YOU SHUT YOUR SPANISH MOUTH, YOU WORTHLESS INFERIOR ILLEGAL DISGR-!" Sunny began shouting towards Leo, but he blinks and stops yelling upon seeing Leo's eyes widen.
"W-What else were you g-gonna call m-me?" Leo asks while shaking heavily, Sunny then sighs after seeing this.
"Sorry for that, I just got a little annoyed by a specific SOMEONE." Sunny states before glaring back at the wall.
"D-Did you just-?" Leo was gonna question after hearing Sunny apologize to him for once.
"You're already weak enough, I don't need to verbally destroy you anymore than I already have, so don't think it's because I'm starting to respect your sorry ass, capisce?" Sunny explains before Leo nods afterwards, even if Sunny's reasoning for apologizing to Leo was certainly degrading, this was the only time thus far where Sunny apologized to anyone.
"Si." Leo answers before Sunny nods and he stands up after doing so.
"Now, let's get to training for today." Sunny states which catches Leo off guard.
"W-Wait! You didn't tell me about-!" Leo was gonna point out.
"First lesson: DODGE!" Sunny shouts before he immediately spins around and he kicks Leo's stomach, the kick sends Leo flying through the wall of the cabin and he lands outside.
"Argh..." Leo says while he was on his back, Sunny was then seen running out of the cabin.
The camera didn't follow Sunny outside and instead it focused on Rainy. She was seen standing by Alex and Evan's bunk bed, she watched them sleep and she waits patiently for them to wake up while she was thinking to herself. Alex was seen stirring before he eventually woke up and he yawns after doing so, he puts on his glasses which were right next to him before he looks to his right and he jumps a little upon seeing Rainy standing right there.
"Hello fellow teammate, How was your sleep?" Rainy asks, she was still emotionless like she was before.
"Uhhh, good?" Alex responds with a puzzled look on his face.
"Same here." Rainy and Alex heard another voice above them before they both did look above them and they saw Evan sit up on his bed.
"I am glad to hear that, What would you two like to eat this morning?" Rainy questions, which made Evan immediately shake his head.
"Nonononono, trust me, the last team I was on had some awful cookers." Evan responds before getting off his bed and he begins walking away from Rainy and Alex.
"W-Wait!" Alex shouts, Evan hears him before turning around and he looks at the two of them.
"Trust me, I may be an empath, but I'm also a good cooker and I love handling children along with animals." Rainy explains before something pops up above her head:
Talents: Empath, Cooking, Handling animals/children
"See?" Rainy questions while pointing at it, Evan stares at the information before he blinks.
"Where did that even come from?" Alex was heard questioning while the camera kept on focusing on Evan, Evan then walks up to Rainy while the text above her popped into oblivion.
"Why are you making food for us?" Evan asks Rainy before he puts his hands inside of his pockets.
"Because all three of us have lost people who we were the closest with until their elimination." Rainy answers while staring at the boys, Alex's eyes widened after hearing this.
"H-How do you-?" Alex tries questioning Rainy once more.
"Like I said, I'm an empath, even if I don't act empathetic." Rainy answered before Alex could completely finish asking his question.
"How do we know that this isn't just a manipulation tactic? You did vote out your friend, after all." Evan continues interrogating, he takes his hands out his pockets and crosses them while staring at Rainy.
"...I don't." Rainy confirms before she began turning around, she then sighs before beginning to walk away from the two boys.
"But it wouldn't hurt if we could get some food I guess, your food might be better than Chef's so I'll take it." Evan states before Rainy turns around and she kept a neutral face.
"Got it, I'll go get the materials needed to cook." Rainy confirms before she walks away from Evan and Alex before the two boys looked at each other, Evan sat down by Alex.
"H-H-Hey." Alex stutteringly greets Evan, Evan waves at him and the two boys were stuck awkwardly looking at each other.
"...Do you wanna talk strategy?" Evan decides to try and make their conversation less awkward, Alex nods and the two of them begin talking with each other while waiting for their food that Rainy somehow was gonna make for them.
*The Losers Team (Post-Swap)*
The camera then cuts from a cabin which had dim light surrounding it to another cabin which had dim light surrounding it, this cabin didn't belong to The K-Shida's, but it belonged to the Losers Team. The giant 'L' normally seen spray painted on the cabin was seen crossed out with a giant 'X' on it, it was most likely done from Jun. Speaking of who, the camera enters the new Losers Team's cabin where Jun was seen waking up with a big Jun Kamoshida sized smirk on his face.
"The swap couldn't have gone any better, I've got my two pawns on the new team with me, and now Miriam and Evan are two people I don't have to deal with anymore." Jun states in his mind before he stands up and he looks around the place. He then sees Ferguson from across the room, Ferguson was currently sitting on his bed while looking down. Jun shrugs before deciding to approach him and he stood right in front of the boy-with-an-identity-crisis, "Hey."
"O-Oh! U-uhhh, Hi?" Ferguson nervously responds after jumping a bit, he then looks up at Jun.
"Did the presence of the greatest christian ever startle you?" Jun questions while smirking and he looks down to Ferguson while asking this, Ferguson blinks after hearing this.
"I-I wouldn't s-say t-that-" Ferguson was stutteringly responds to Jun.
"Actually, your opinion doesn't matter, especially since you have a fifty percent chance of going home tonight if we lose the challenge." Jun cuts him off, Ferguson blinks before looking down.
"Y-You're right..." Ferguson responds which makes Jun's smirk turn into a grin.
"Good! Finally someone gives me the proper respect I deserve." Jun says before he pats his head which Ferguson lets him do.
"H-Have you decided on w-who you want to e-eliminate first?" Ferguson asks before looking up at Jun, Jun then thinks to himself.
"Because you've been so polite to me and because you don't seem like a threat, I'll take out Hannah, A.K.A. the girl who tried eliminating you." Jun answers which makes Ferguson look away after he heard this.
"O-Okay, she d-deserves i-it." Ferguson tries saying as confidently as he could, but it was obviously a lie because of how unsure he sounded while saying this.
"Are you sure? Because it just sounds like you're lying to yourself." Jun points out before crossing his arms, Ferguson slightly looks back at him before looking down.
"I-I...I don't know..." He says while Jun kept on staring at him.
"You may not know about how you feel about Hannah Jordan, but at least you know how much power I hold on this team." Jun states before laughing a little, Ferguson looks at him.
"Y-Yeah, I'm just g-gonna be e-eliminated and casted o-out like always, so why t-try opposing you?" Ferguson questions.
"You do have a point there, but I'll do something special for you, I'll try learning your name because you know greatness when you see it, so...Who are you?" Jun decides to ask him a question, Ferguson's eyes widened after hearing this.
"M-M-My n-name?" He asks before Jun nods once more.
"Yes, your name, be glad I'm bothering to learn it, so tell me what it is." Jun states before glaring at Ferguson, Ferguson gulps before he thinks to himself.
"I-I-I'm..." He stops talking before closing his eyes while he tries answering the question.
"You're such a loser, Neil Ferguson!"
"Ew, you're such a creep! Get away from me!"
"No one's being fooled by you Fergy, everyday you've been doing nothing but making a fool out of yourself."
"Neil, Fergy, I could care less, I'm not gonna even try to pretend this is pre-recorded for you."
A bunch of things he remembered hearing throughout his life began echoing through Ferguson's mind, some of which were from this season, others were from his real life. His mouth slowly closes after hearing all of these words once more and he slowly opens his eyes. However, his dark brown eyes now seemed devoid of any kind of emotion and they were even duller than they already are.
"But we don't have to do it all alone...let's all promise to never attempt to betray each other, alright?"
"FINE! I'LL FINALLY ADMIT IT, I VOTED FOR JARED IN OUR FIRST ELIMINATION AND WROTE FERGUSON'S NAME DOWN TO TRY AND FRAME HIM!"
Hannah's voice echoes through his head while the wind from outside softly went through The Loser's Team window before the wind softly blows onto Ferguson's face. The hair on his head that was always sticking up now fell down and they didn't pop back up while his face kept having an emotionless expression on it. Remembering that Hannah had seemingly wanted to be friends with Ferguson, only for him to learn that she tried eliminating him earlier this season which she decided to keep a secret finished the flashback of things he's been told in his life.
"Nobody likes you. Who ever could?" Ferguson's mind speaks to him and he nods, believing what he says to himself in his mind and he sighs. He then looks back up at Jun, while The King Bee stares down at him and impatiently taps his foot while he does so. Ferguson finally opens his mouth and he answers Jun's question after thinking to himself, "Does it matter?"
"...I guess it doesn't, alright then, I'll take my leave now." Jun says before he turns around and walks away from Ferguson, meanwhile Ferguson looks down and closes his eyes.
The camera fades away from the situation inside the cabin before it shows the outside of the cabin, the sun wasn't really showing much today because of the amount of clouds in the sky. It then shows Hannah who was currently walking around outside, she was looking down and not looking ahead of her. But, it doesn't look like she cared whether or not she'd accidentally walk into a tree because she was deep in thought.
"The only person who was in the previous team with me is the person I tried turning everyone against earlier this season...I-I, I wanna make things up to him for what I did, but I don't know how." Hannah was thinking to herself, her train of thought was interrupted by a noise she heard from the woods. She goes into the direction of the noise very cautiously, she slowly gets closer and closer to the noise before seeing two girls.
"Alright, now your turn." Chloe says, she held a flute in her hand while Ingrid too held a flute in her hands.
"W-Where'd you even g-get t-these?" Ingrid asks before Chloe lets out a long sigh.
"I asked Rival for some flutes, but he did look a little strange today." Chloe answers her question.
"H-How s-so?" Ingrid asks another question.
"For some reason he was wearing a crown on his head and was acting like a british king." Chloe confirms which makes Ingrid tilt her head.
"W-Why?" Ingrid asks her third question in a row.
"How the hell am I supposed to know!? Also, you're kinda talking too much so can you please try and play the flute?" Chloe impatiently asks a question right back at Ingrid.
"O-Okay." Ingrid says before she holds the flute up to her mouth before she blows into it.
"As long as Rival doesn't have black hair, we will all be safe." Hannah comments in her mind.
"Agreed." Hannah suddenly heard a deep and creepy voice behind her.
"AH!" Hannah quickly lets out a high-pitched scream which catches Ingrid's and Chloe's attentions. They both stares over at Hannah, Hannah then looks back at the two and she looks behind her only to see that there was nothing at all before he, she looks back at her fellow female teammates before nervously chuckling.
"How long were you standing there?" Chloe questions before Hannah straightens her back and her nervous expression goes away.
"I just got here, sadly I'm apparently so not used to being alone to the point that I thought I heard a voice." Hannah says before laughing a little with what she said.
"A-Are you losing your h-hearing? Or m-maybe you h-have a brain tumor like w-what over 700,000 americans h-have? or maybe-?" Ingrid began spewing knowledge, only for her to get cut off by Chloe who puts a finger to her mouth.
"Let's just say you were just hearing things and move onto the next question." Chloe states.
"Agreed." Hannah agrees with Chloe which makes Ingrid look down a little.
"What brings you over to me and my best friend?" Chloe asks which makes Ingrid look up and she slightly smiles after hearing Chloe say this.
"I was just walking around the woods and collecting my thoughts, but I heard some noises and decided to check it out." Hannah explains which makes Chloe nod.
"Well, woodwinds aren't exactly the quietest of instruments." Chloe admits which Hannah nods in agreement to.
"If I remember correctly, you did beat up Ferguson using a flute, correct?" Hannah asks before Chloe grins widely and nods.
"Hell yeah I did! It felt so good letting out my anger on someone this season." Chloe states which makes Hannah blink.
"Could you maybe not do that? He's on our team now and let's just say he doesn't look like he's mentally in a good spot." Hannah requests which Chloe rolls her eyes to.
"What's it matter to you, weren't you trying to eliminate him at one point in this season?" Chloe points out while crossing her arms, Hannah grits her teeth after hearing this before she looks away a little.
"Just cut him some slack, and besides, I'm not proud of what I've done this season, I just wanna make up for what I did to him." Hannah confirms which makes Chloe raise an eyebrow.
"Why not try to make things better with him yourself?" Chloe questions Hannah once more.
"I d-doubt Ferguson t-trusts Hannah enough to b-believe anything she says." Ingrid answers Chloe's question for Hannah.
"Exactly, so I can't exactly make things up with him for now, all I can do is try to make his situation better." Hannah confirms which makes Chloe groan a little.
"Fine...So do you wanna learn how to play the flute?" Chloe asks her final question, she was seen holding another flute which she tosses on over to Hannah, Hannah catches it before sighing.
"Okay, I'll try to do so." Hannah answers before she sat on a third stump which was between Chloe and Ingrid, the other two girls were also sitting on stumps.
*The Five Souls (Post-Swap)*
After that interaction, the camera cuts to the third and final team out of the teams, the camera shows the side of their cabin which had a giant 7 on it. But, the '7' now had a giant X on it and instead the camera looks to the right before showing a non-marked '5' spray painted onto the cabin. Now the name once again was correct before the camera had decided to enter the cabin and it shows Jared open his eyes before he sat up on his bed and he looks around.
"This swap could've gone better, but at the same time, it could've been worse...at least I was able to stay with Lia even if some of her actions were stange, yesterday." Jared thinks to himself, he stands up by his bed, he was on the bottom bunk before he looked on the top and saw that Lia was sleeping on it. He looks away from her afterwards before he looks around the room once again, "Guess I might as well talk to other people before Lia forces me to do so."
"Hey! Jared!" The pessimistic perfectionist then looks on over at the direction of the voice and he saw that it was Ciara who had called him.
"Desperate times call for desperate measures." Jared comments to himself before he walks up to Ciara and he stands in front of her.
"Did you enjoy your sleep?~" Ciara immediately goes into flirting mode.
"Yeah, it was a nice and peaceful night, How was yours?" He questions, completely ignoring Ciara's obvious flirt attempt.
"It wasn't one of my better nights if you get what I mean~" The Perverted Musician attempts another flirt which was somehow more obvious than her previous attempt.
"Why, Was it because Sunny isn't here?" Jared immediately remarks, Ciara groans after hearing this.
"One time! I only slept with him ONE TIME!" Ciara shouts while Jared kept on watching.
"And your only time so far on this island." He decides to try and add some salt to the wound, but a smirk slowly appears on his teammate's face.
"So far~ Soon, I'll probably add two names to that list~" Ciara says, she then places a finger onto Jared's chest.
"Don't you have a girlfriend back at home?" Jared asks.
"Of course I do, she's the girl who lets me go around and sleep with anyone she finds appropriate." Ciara confirms, this made Jared stare at her.
"...Can I go back to paris?" Jared questions while looking at the camera.
"Wait, you've been to paris before?" Ciara was heard asking, the camera focused on Jared and it shows him looking back at Ciara.
"Yeah, but that's a unfinished story as of now, Why are you trying to flirt with me though? You should know that Lia cares for me also, right?" Jared points out before Ciara's smirk turned into a smile.
"Exactly! We could have a threesome!" Ciara exclaims proudly, Jared just gives her a blank expression.
"Never thought I'd hear that on Total Drama." Jared responds before Ciara giggles.
"Expect the unexpected, anyways, Where's your girlfriend?~" Ciara asks before she began looking around.
"First of all, not my girlfriend. Second of all, if I were to expect the unexpected, then the unexpected wouldn't be unexpected." Jared points out, Ciara didn't really seem to listen to him before she looks over at Jared's bunk bed.
"I feel like me and her will get along just well!~" Ciara declares, she sees Lia sit up on her bed before she decides to walk up to her, Jared decides to follow Ciara.
"Good morning team!" Lia happily says before she jumps off her bed and she softly lands on her feet.
"Glad to see you're the same as ever." Jared remarks before Lia giggles a little.
"Right back at you, leader!" Lia says to Jared before she looks on over at Ciara, "Hello!"
"Hi dear~ I'm Ciara~" Ciara introduces herself while putting out her hand.
"Hi Ciara, I'm Lia Clemins!" Lia takes her turn to introduce herself and she shakes Ciara's hand.
"Should we talk with the rest of our team?" Jared requests, Ciara and Lia finishes shaking each other's hands and they nod.
"Whatever you want~" Ciara says before winking at Jared, Lia stares at her while she does this.
"..." The YouTuber remains completely silent, Ciara then looks over at Lia, only for her to see Ms. Clemins with a happy smile and acting like she wasn't just giving the perverted musician a death stare.
"Okay then, let's go." Jared responds, The girls followed Jared and they came across Miriam who was currently speaking with Kyle.
"The guy wouldn't shut his face for one minute! He would always act so smug and everything always went according to his plan, it was so ANNOYING!" Miriam was seen venting to the laid-back baseballer.
"Let it all out." Kyle simply responds before he closes his eyes.
"He even named our team after his last name! Jun was so full of himself and he suddenly starts believing in god-!" Miriam continues to vent out her anger which related to Jun Kamoshida.
"JESUS! NOT GOD! I WAS TAUGHT THE DISTINCTION A WHILE BACK!" Jun's voice was somehow heard.
"I DON'T GIVE A GODDA-!" Miriam begins shouting back at the voice.
"Uhhhhhh." She suddenly heard a voice before looking at who she heard, it was Jared who had a look of confusion on his face.
"Did we come at a bad time?" Lia asks while she was standing behind Jared.
"That's what she said!" Ciara adds on, she stood by Lia and behind Jared also while saying this.
"Ah, we finally got the Scooby Gang here to hunt some ghosts." Kyle states with a smile before he walks up to Jared, Lia, and Ciara.
"You do know that ghosts don't exist, right?" Miriam says before she stood by Kyle.
"Hm..." Jared begins thinking to himself, he looks behind him to see Ciara and Lia before looking in front of him, Miriam and Kyle were standing in front of him. He was in the middle of each pair before he looks at the camera once more, "Why do I feel outnumbered here?"
"Can we get to the team meeting now?" Lia impatiently says which makes Miriam raise an eyebrow.
"Team meeting?" She questions.
"Yeah, we always had team meetings in our previous team, so because of the lack of arrogant villains on our team, I think we can all talk with each other without starting a Civil War." Lia explains, Ciara, Kyle, and Miriam all looked at each other after hearing Lia's explanation.
"Sounds legit." Kyle casually says.
"How well did the team meetings work out for your previous team?...Oh wait." Miriam points out before Lia remains completely quiet.
"When you put it like that, maybe we should ditch the idea, what's already failed once will only continue to fail the more you use it." Jared pessimistically says while looking away.
"Great, now you made Jared a downer!" Lia complains before Ciara wraps an arm around Jared.
"I'll make sure to turn his that frown upside down like what I'm gonna do to his world tonight~" Ciara takes another chance to try and awfully flirt with Jared.
"Can you stop letting your...lady parts? constantly control your actions?" Lia requests while having a wide smile on her face.
"Lia, Two is great, but three is a crowd~" Ciara says, Lia blinks after hearing Ciara say this.
"That would make five a riot, then." Kyle comments while he leans against the wall.
"So that means your skills as a baseball player is a five." Miriam says before Kyle looks at her.
"I'll take that as a compliment." Kyle simply states.
"Then that would make my skill as a dancer a perfect ten!" Miriam was heard stating before Kyle chuckles.
"Yeah, let's go with that," The laid-back baseballer says before looking at the camera, "You can cut away now."
*Challenge Time*
The remaining fifteen competitors were all seen walking in their own respective teams, all the time were even once more and they each looked different from before. However, they had all gotten a text via one of their teammate's phones to go north of the island from someone named 'DramaKing69' who was most likely Rival. So the all listened to the instructions, however they all watched yesterday's elimination and already knew that Kris Yang (also known was Rae) was the victim of The Chain of Shame yesterday so there was no theorizing needed there.
"Rainy voted off her friend...that's something which I expect from her brother more than from her." Evan says while remembering yesterday, he had a muffin in his hand which he chomps on.
"W-Where'd you get t-that m-muffin?" Ingrid asks nervously, for once Chloe wasn't beside her and instead she started the conversation.
"Rainy." Evan simply answers after he swallows, then he noms on his muffin once more.
"W-Well, it l-looks very well m-made and it's cooked s-so p-professionally." Ingrid confirms while staring at the muffin.
"The muffin does taste good." Evan says after swallowing, he takes his third and final bite out of the muffin.
"S-So you l-like muffins? Maybe I-I can cook you s-some when I get the c-chance?" Ingrid suggests with a nervous smile on her face, Evan stares at her while he kept on chewing his muffin before he eventually swallows it.
"Sure, I doubt you'd poison the muffin so, yes you can." Evan answers which makes Ingrid sigh in relief.
"Y-Yay, I can f-finally safely s-show off my cookies a-abilities." Ingrid says before her nervous smile shifts to being a happy one.
"Hey Ingrid!" Chloe's voice was heard before she walks up to Evan and Ingrid, they were all behind every other competitor.
"Hey Ingrid." Jun was heard before he walks over to the three of them.
"What are you doing here?" Chloe asks while gritting her teeth, she stares at Jun while Evan pats Ingrid's back.
"May god have mercy on your soul." Evan responds before sighing.
"I'm just checking up on the most beautiful goth I've seen, Ingrid." Jun answers Chloe's question, Evan gets his hand away from Ingrid's back before Jun winks at Ingrid.
"Ah, I knew I smelled a pile of bullcrap over here." Miriam comments before walking over the the four of them, the former members of The K-Shida's were now speaking to each for the first time since their teams switched which happened only yesterday.
"You're just noseblind, and besides, what I said is not a lie." Jun states while Ingrid watches everyone else talk to each other.
"H-Hey Jun?" Ingrid asks before Jun looks at her before raising an eyebrow.
"Yes?" He questions.
"U-um did you know that o-over three thousand c-celebrities have died in plane c-crashes, ah sorry, I-I spout facts when I'm really nervous. A-Anyway I baked you some cookies, s-sorry they're in weird shapes..." Ingrid says before pulling a pack of cookies out of her fishnet stockings which she gives to Jun.
"I already like my new team better than the last one." Jun immediately says before he opens the bag and he eats a cookie from it.
"Speaking of new teams, How's your new team going, Evan?" Miriam questions.
"Luckily there's a Ingrid of our own on our team, so I'd say the team is alright so far...but I'm gonna need to keep an eye on Sunny." Evan states before looking over at Sunny, The Delinquent was seen speaking to his sister and Leo.
"Is it because you wanna be a police officer and he always acts like a criminal?" Miriam asks while looking over at Sunny also.
"Well you're not completely off the mark with that guess, anyways, we're close to the challenge." Evan confirms before looking ahead of them, Miriam then nods before the former K-Shida members all disbanded and went back to their new teams.
"Welcome everyone!" Rival loudly says with a smile while he stood in front of a obstacle course, it had three parts to the course and all of it was above water.
The first obstacle was a bunch of small platforms which was in front of a flight of stairs leading up to it, the words 'The Stepping Stones' then showed up on the screen. It then cuts to the second obstacle, each obstacle seemed to be separated by a black big platform between each of them, the second obstacle had a trampoline on the edge of the platform which is meant to be jumped on in order to reach a net which descends down to the next platform, however it was near the water on the ground, this second obstacle is called, 'Net Jump' according to the words on the screen. The camera then shows the third and final obstacle which was a bar, the bar was on a cradle and there were five cradles overall on the third obstacle, the name for this third and final obstacle was 'The Flying Bar.'
"I have a soft spot for that last obstacle." Rival comments, the three obstacles were seen by another three obstacles which were exactly the same, there were three obstacle courses by one another and they all had the same three obstacles, The Stepping Stones, Net Jump, and The Flying Bar. Rival however decides to clear his throat before looking at the competitors, "Anyways, earlier today I got word that Sunny has been beating some people, and while normally I would be alright with that, I'm the host now and I can do whatever the hell I want."
"So you're gonna get arrested?" Lia questions.
"Except for that, but I will punish Sunny." Rival confirms before looking on over at the delinquent.
"What are you gonna do? Have god strike me down?" Sunny sarcastically questions while crossing his arms.
"Yes." Rival simply answers before he puts his right arm into the air, he then winks at Sunny before swinging his arm down and a lightning bolt strikes right in front of Sunny. The lightning bolt didn't exactly strike him, but the delinquent was knocked off his feet from the impact of the bolt and he fell right onto his back because of it. The brother of Rainy then rubs his eyes before he sits up and stares at Rival with widened eyes.
"How did you-?" Sunny asks after seeing what Rival did.
"It was shocking, wasn't it?~" Rival remarks while making a pun at the same time.
"You're bad at puns, but I'll keep an eye on you." Sunny states before he gets back onto his feet, Rival just rolls his eyes.
"Sure, just make sure not to kiss me." Rival comments before chuckling a little.
"Oh, that's rich coming from you." Hannah's voice was heard.
"Let's just get straight into the challenge!" Rival declares, changing the topic at hand and instead pointing towards the obstacle course in front of everyone. "Today's challenge shall be called, Canadian Ninja Competitors: Season 2!" He loudly confirms before chuckling a little afterwards. Some of the cast members were confused by the title, but Rival clears his throat and continues to speak, "So for a demonstration, the production wanted me to get someone who wasn't Adrian to do so."
"Who's Adrian?" Jun decides to ask.
"A Insert-swear-word-here-because-I-know-my-swearing-is-gonna-get-censored." Rival immediately answers before a female was seen walking up the stairs for the obstacle course, "So, I decided to go with the next best choice."
"Hello one and all! It is me, Erin Summers! And I am excited to be here!" Everyone suddenly heard an excited voice, it sounded like it came from the female who was on top of the stairs. The girl who introduced herself as Erin Summers had blonde hair which went down to her hands, she wears a red tanktop which has a white lab coat over it, it seemed new and it didn't have any tears or burn marks on it...for now. She also wore white pants and white running shoes along with the fact that she has cracked safety goggles on her head, lastly she had hazel eyes.
"You couldn't just wait for me to introduce you, couldn't you, Erin Summers?" Rival questions while looking over at Erin.
"Obviously not! You should know me by now Rival!" Erin loudly states, Rival nods in agreement.
"Yeah, I really should." He says before looking back at the Move Along cast.
"...I don't like her." Chloe immediately confirms.
"Now! Erin is gonna give you all a demonstration of the course!" Rival confirms before pointing at Erin, Erin then nods at him before putting her cracked safety goggles on.
"Let's do this!" Erin declares before she jumps and attempts to land on the first small platform with her left foot, but she undershoots it and instead she begins falling with her head hitting the small platform while she falls that causes a tooth to fly out. She then falls into the water, right before standing up and Erin takes off her safety goggles before tossing them to the side, her lab coat already got wet, but she wasn't able to focus on it that much and she is blasted into the air by an explosion from the water.
"You see everyone, that's called Erin Luck." Rival comments while pointing at Erin, the girl then lands on the platform between the first and second obstacle, she then smiles brightly while the camera could clearly see her missing tooth. She then runs before jumping onto the trampoline and she reaches to grab the net...but she forgot the laws of physics and forgot to jump forward, so instead she jumps straight up. Erin falls back down onto the trampoline which bounces her towards the next and Erin is launches towards the net, but her foot gets caught up in the net and now she is hanging upside down.
"Don't worry about me, this is just a morning breakfast for me!" Erin says while hanging upside down, but her feet slips off the net and she falls into the water head first.
"..." Rival was seen being completely quiet while he stares intently at the water, Erin then pops out of the water before she was able to get to the second platform since the net led down to the next platform. Rival sighs in relief before the camera then shows Erin once more. She was now on the third and final obstacle and she slowly but surely grabs onto the bar for the final obstacle, Erin then gets her feet off the platform and she begins swinging herself and building up momentum.
"I think I can actually do this one!" Erin begins optimistically shouting, but when she swings for the second cradle, she overshoots it and she goes over it which makes her fall into the water once more. But she is sent into the air by an explosion which once again goes off from inside the water, a jet then crashes into Erin and begins flying away with her on it. Everyone else all watched with looks of surprise except for Rival, He just simply looks back at all the other competitors.
"You see everyone, that was a demonstration...of what NOT to do." Rival says with a wide smile.
"I'm surprise you're not worried for her." Alex says before Rival shrugs.
"I've known Erin for over a year, that was one of the tamer chains of slapstick she has experienced, anyways, Panty Anarchy." Rival says before looking over at Ciara Yates.
"Karma Akabane." Ciara immediately remarks to Rival.
"I have no idea what you're talking about." Rival casually says while he suddenly had a gun which he aimed at Sunny.
"Okay, Why am I the one being targeted?" Sunny was heard asking before Rival puts the pun in his pocket.
"Anyways, I was gonna say something, but I'll save it for after the challenge, especially since we're running on a time limit." Rival confirms before the fifteen competitors nodded before they all looked at one another.
*Canadian Ninja Competitors: Season 2*
"Alright, in order to get a point for your team, you need to finish the course before the other competitors or make it the farthest, the fastest, there'll be five rounds with three people running per round and by the end of each round, the two teams with the most points will be safe from elimination!" Rival gives everyone a quick explanation.
"Got it!" The first three contestants were heard, for The K-Shida's the first contestant up was Sunny, for The Losers Team it was Jun, and for The Five Souls it was Jared.
"I've got this in the bag, there's no way these two will even come close to me!" Sunny states confidently in his mind while he smirks and gets in a running position.
"If we do lose today's challenge, then Hannah is getting out, and as for this obstacle course...I've got this." Jun thinks to himself, he simply taps his feet and waits to start.
"In order to win this, I need to perfectly nail the obstacle course, one small mistake and I'll probably fail like Erin did...yeah, I'll probably fail." Jared analyzes before sighing to himself, however he looks over at Sunny and Jun while the arrogant leaders returned their looks and they even looked at each other.
"You're both going down!/These two aren't even on my level!/I need to try to win this!" Sunny, Jun, and Jared all think to themselves before they all looked ahead of them and they prepared to run forward.
"I hope the three of you are ready, because you three start now!" Rival loudly announces. The three competitors listens to what is said and all of them jump onto The Stepping Stones, Sunny was seen easily getting through the obstacle by perfectly landing on each small platform with one foot each and using that foot to jump onto the other platforms. In no time, Sunny was through the first obstacle, however he looks over and sees that Jared had also finished the first obstacle before staring at him.
"Okay, you've caught my attention, Subway." Sunny remarks in his mind while looking at Jared still.
"I wonder how close Jun is." Jared begins worrying about other things, both of them then watches as Jun make it through the first obstacle, but he was already panting.
"Running is not my thing." Jun confirms in his mind, Sunny and Jared watches Jun before looking back at one another.
"May the best leader win." Jared says before he looks ahead and he runs forward before jumping off the trampoline and he was able to just barely grab onto the net.
"Guess I'll win, then!" Sunny responds before he runs forward, he uses his right foot to bounce off the trampoline, he is able to reach the net and easily completes The Net Jump easily.
"No! I'm the greatest leader here!" Jun shots before he runs forward and he jumps off the trampoline and he reaches for the net...but he doesn't jump far enough and so he splashes down into the water.
"The Losers Team have 0 points!" Rival announces before Jun stood up from in the water before he gets off of his course.
"Note to self: Do more cardio." Jun says before walking away from the course while the camera focuses on Jared and Sunny. The other two competitors were seen clearing the second obstacle before they both stared at one another.
"Hey, you ready to get a giant 'X'? Because I'm gonna strike you out harder than last time!" Sunny immediately taunts the pessimistic perfectionist before he grabs onto the bar for the third obstacle before he swings and quickly makes it to the second cradle.
"..." Jared remains quiet upon hearing this.
"...Oh sh-" Jared was gonna say inside his mind, however the baseball hits him in his chest so hard that it causes Jared to go flying into the air as the baseball bounces off of him. Jared's eyes were completely widened while some blood came out of his mouth before he crashed onto his back onto the dirt beneath him. Jared then coughs a bit more afterwards while clutching his chest, his eyes were closed also.
Jared remembers what happens and he begins looking down into the water, "Sunny is intentionally slowing down so he can taunt me...and he even severely hurt me with a baseball alone...I don't stand a chance finishing the course before he does."
"JARED AUGUST MONUEL!" Jared then heard a voice shout, he looks over to see that Lia was the one who shouted his name.
"Sunny's already ahead of me, so I might as well waste more time." Jared continues to pessimistically think to himself.
"JARED! YOU CAN FINISH FIRST! I DON'T KNOW HOW, BUT YOU CAN BEAT SUNNY!" Lia tries to motivate the team leader for The Five Souls.
"SHUT YOUR MOUTH! THIS WIMP WON'T EVEN BE ABLE TO EVEN TOUCH ME!" Sunny shouts back before laughing, he then swings and he skips over the third cradle, instead he successfully lands on the fourth cradle.
"Maybe you can try motivating him in different ways?~" Ciara questions Lia, Lia then shook her head.
"Later! For now...I've got another plan." Lia states before she then picks up a pebble from the ground, "And besides, I can do anything I set my mind to!" She states in her mind while her eyes turn red.
"Hey Jared! It was fun toying with you, but the show ends here!" Sunny cockily states before looking ahead of him, he then builds up momentum before swinging for the fifth cradle. However, while he was in the air, a pebble was seen flying into the camera's view and it hits Sunny right on his head, the impact had hit the delinquent off course. He is unable to get onto the fifth cradle and instead he just falls straight into the water while letting go of the bar.
"JARED, GO!" Lia says as loudly as she could, Jared's eyes widened after seeing Sunny fall before he gulps and slowly grabs onto his bar.
"Maybe if I can perfectly nail this...I could get my team a point." Jared thinks to himself before he swings around before flying to the second cradle, he is able to make the first jump. He then takes a deep breathe before swinging and he lands on the third cradle, a slight smile began appearing on his face. The leader of The Five Souls then swings once more and he almost undershoots the fourth cradle, but he's able to make it.
"Jared is one jump away from securing his team the first point!" Rival shouts, Sunny was seen clutching his head while rising from the water, he then gets off his course while gritting his teeth.
"That was a load of crap! Where'd that pebble even-!" Sunny thinks to himself, but he interrupts his own thoughts and he remembers something.
"She looks serious, so I can't underestimate her too-" Sunny was analyzing inside his mind, but he felt a large gust of wind and his eyes completely widened and his jaw dropped. "W-What j-just-!" Sunny was questioning inside of his mind, he then looked at Lia's hand and saw that the baseball was no longer inside of her hand. Sunny then slowly looks behind him and notices that Chef was knocked out and the baseball rolled onto the home plate in front of him, however there was a fire around it that goes out leaving a giant smudge on it.
"And...I was just arguing with her." Sunny realizes before he looks back in the water he fell in before seeing that it was a pebble. He then looks on over at Lia before seeing that the girl's red eyes had gone away and that they were green once more.
"BINGO!" Rival was heard shouting while the camera focuses on Sunny, it also showed that Jared had made it to the fifth cradle and he jumped onto the final platform.
"I did it!" Jared exclaims before he falls onto the ground and he pants heavily, "God I'm such a weakling, but at least I did something noteworthy today!"
"The Five Souls take first place with 1 point, The Losers Team and The K-Shida's are in last with 0!" Rival announces before he jumps to where Jared was before picking him up and he carries him on his shoulder.
"Seeing how easily tired he is, I'm surprised he was able to finish that." Miriam comments while watching this, Rival was seen standing in front of Lia before putting Jared in her arms.
"Between me and you, I know that you made Sunny fall, I'm just letting that slide since he deserved it." Rival whispers to Lia before laughing a bit.
"Thanks." Lia whispers back before giving the temporary host a thumbs up, he then gives her a thumbs up before walking away.
"Alright everyone, get your second set of runners ready!" Rival instructs before all three teams nodded and began choosing.
"Okay! Our next three people will be-!" Rival says, only to be interrupted by Erin, Erin was seen crashing by him before casually standing up despite the crater she caused.
"I'll go work on my inventions now!" Erin casually shrugs off all the stuff that's just happened to her, she then begins walking away.
"Make sure to be careful! Also, can we go on a date tomorrow!?" Rival suddenly asks, Erin then stops walking before turning around and she looks at Rival.
"...Sorry, I'm gonna need to check up on Angry Erin tomorrow, maybe another time! Sorry!" Erin answers, she then turns back around and runs off while Rival watches her.
"A-At least she's always honest." Rival says before looking back at the contestants with a awkward smile.
"Wait, What about Cynthia?" Hannah questions while tilting her head.
"CYNTHIA!?" Leo accidentally shouts out his question.
"SILENCE!" Sunny demands before Leo nods before looking down.
"Anyways, our next three people will be, Leo from the K-Shida's, Ingrid for The Losers Team, and Lia for The Five Souls!" Rival confirms before the camera shows Leo, Ingrid, and Lia all looked at one another.
"I w-wish you two the b-best of luck!" Leo says stutteringly, this puts a small smile on Ingrid's face.
"T-Thanks, I w-wish the same u-upon you two a-also." Ingrid says before looking back at Leo and Lia.
"Nice! Glad to see that I'm racing up against nice people who I can respect! Although it looks like you two have more than that in c-common." Lia jokingly comments which gets a bit of a laugh out of Leo and a chuckle out of Ingrid.
"Looks like we're gonna have a friendly race...I don't mind it, BEGIN!" Rival says the last part at Leo volume before the three competitors went ahead.
"I've gotta do this and that." Leo directs himself inside of his mind, he easily got through the first obstacle in two steps.
"...I've gotta chat with my slave later." Sunny states in his mind while gritting his teeth, he didn't seem to be amused while Kyle looked at him with a slight smile on his face.
"Leon seems to have the strength to fight back against you, and you know this fact all too well, don't ya?" Kyle says in his mind like he was talking to Sunny, Sunny unknowingly answered his question by crumbling his fists.
"Hey, Ingrid and Lia, How are you two doing?" Leo was seen questioning while waiting for the two girls, Ingrid was seen stumbling all around the first obstacle, it was clear that doing a obstacle that requires running using heels wasn't a good idea.
"I gotta step over-AH! O-Okay, How about h-AH!" Ingrid was equally freaking out in her mind due to her heels constantly losing balance every time she tried stepping on another stepping stone, however she miraculously made it past the first obstacle. "W-Wait...did I j-just-?" Ingrid begins questioning before looking on over at Leo. Leo gave her a thumbs up before Ingrid sighed in relief before she began cheering to herself, "I-I d-did it!"
"That's great to hear!" Lia exclaims, it looked like she had made it to her platform before Ingrid had done so, however Ingrid was too proud of herself for just completing the first obstacle to really care that Leo and Lia practically waited for her.
"It looks like these three contestants are really having fun with one another." Rival comments while watching Leo, Ingrid, and Lia all run the obstacle course.
"THAT'S WHAT HE SAID!" Ciara was heard shouting off-screen.
"Tonight is gonna be very fun~" Rival confirms with a grin before the camera cuts away from the current host before showing the three contestants on the course.
"Just gotta boing off this trampoline and grab onto the net!" Leo continues saying inside of his mind while a smile began forming on his face, he then jumps off the trampoline before grabbing onto the net with ease only using his arms, he then looks to the right. He decides to watch how Ingrid is doing out of curiosity and plus he partially cares about her, but he sees Lia already grabbing onto her net.
"Hah, looks like I'm high on the internet now!" Lia puns before she climbs down the net.
"BOO!" The contestants were heard responding, however the camera shows Jared who had a slight smile on his face.
"Okay Ingrid, just run and JUUUUUUUUU-" Ingrid says in her mind before she was seen jumping off the trampoline and she reaches out to try and grab the net, but she is unable to jump far enough and instead she just falls into the water.
"The Losers Team stay at 0 points!" Rival announces before Ingrid was seen getting out the water afterwards and she lays on the ground before staring at her heels.
"I-I ain't bringing y-you next s-season." Ingrid states before she sees Jun stand above her with a smile while putting out his hand.
"Lemme help you up, I know how it feels failing at something that's created by the devil." Jun says before Ingrid grabs his hand and he pulls her onto her feet before looking down at her heels.
"I-I'm sorry for f-failing." Ingrid apologizes.
"Nice heels~" Jun simply states before he walks off which makes Ingrid blush, the camera then shows Jun put on a mischievous smile while he walked up to Chloe and he winks at her, The leader then turns around while Chloe grits her teeth.
"Well, it doesn't look like Ingrid didn't make it...Well, hopefully she'll do better in future challenges!" Leo exclaims inside his mind before watching Lia catch up and the two of them smile at one another.
"I wish you the best of luck with finishing this!" Lia confirms before looking ahead of her while Leo nods.
"THANKS!" Leo shouts at his default volume which makes Lia jump a bit while she grabs onto her bar, however this causes her bar to slip off and it falls off immediately. Because Lia was leaning onto the bar, she falls forward and she quickly looks at Leo who nervously chuckles at the camera while sweating a little. Lia was seen falling into the water which causes a splash before Leo blinks and he looks towards the bar he was on before grabbing onto it.
"The K-Shida's and The Five Souls are tied for first with one point, meanwhile The Losers Team are in last without a Re, but with a 0!" Rival announces proudly due to the fact that Leo had gotten to the third obstacle before Lia had meaning he had gotten his team a point.
"Yay! Team, I hope I have made you all proud!" Leo yells out before letting go of his bar and he gets off the obstacle course, however he looks over at Lia and he watches Jared walk up to her.
"Expect the unexpected." Jared states to Lia with straight face before he grabs her hand and he tries pulling her out of the water, but he is too weak to do so even while he was seen gritting his teeth and planting his feet onto the ground.
"You're doing great, leader!" Lia tries making the situation seem less awkward than it is and she instead gets out of the water with no help from Jared, this makes Jared sigh before he lets go of her.
"Please just call me Jared...also, good job for making it far." Jared says before patting Lia's head which the youtuber just accepts with a giggle, he then takes his hand off her head also before the two of them walk over to the rest of their team.
"They look like a good potential future couple." Leo thinks to himself before looking over at The Five Souls and he walks on over to them, Sunny did not look happy at all however while he was seen grabbing Leo's left wrist.
"...Hey Salvatore...Don't you remember your place?~" Sunny questions which makes Leo's smile go away and he nods before looking down.
"Y-Yes...Lo siento..." Leo apologizes in spanish before Sunny pets his head, Evan glares at Sunny while this happens.
"Looks like I'm gonna need to investigate him after this challenge finishes." Evan states in his mind, although Sunny clearly needed inspection a long time ago.
"Our next three contestants which each team have chosen to run against one another are, Rainy from The K-Shida's, Chloe from The Losers Team, and Ciara from The Five Souls!" Rival announces proudly while the three girls were all seen staring at one another.
"The punk drummer looks to be very serious about the situation while Ciara seems to be...Ciara." Rainy inspects, Chloe looks back and forth between Rainy and Ciara before deciding to set her eyes on Ciara.
"Rainy displays emotions about as well as a pianist makes noise, however I NEED to take my anger out on someone..." Chloe explains in her mind before the camera turns to Ciara who smiled at both girls.
"Hey~ Do you two girls wanna help tonight be better than the one I had with Sunnnnnnnnn-" Ciara stops talking upon remembering that Rainy and Sunny were related with one another, Rainy just had a look of indifference on her face.
"Go ahead, I am the sister of Sunny and the girl who betrayed her best friend yesterday, I've accepted these things by now." Rainy simply responds which only makes Ciara feel worse before looking over at Chloe and she decides to smile at her.
"Even though it'd be fun to get Rainy involved, I'd like to make things less awkward, Sooo~" Ciara finishes her what she was saying by completely changing what she was initially going for, she then seductively looks at Chloe.
"Pretty sure you've heard this a lot, but I doubt you're not used to the words that will come out my mouth: I'M STRAIGHT!" Chloe shouts at Ciara which makes the female guitarist jump.
"A-Ah! You definitely are a good screamer at night!" Ciara nervously responds which makes Chloe crumble her fists.
"Thank you, I normally don't do the vocals for my band, but I do try my best and I know I could be even better than Mariah Carey if I train enough." Chloe confidently state.
"Woah, Don't get too ahead of yourself there!" Ciara states while pointing at Chloe, but the punk drummer crosses her arms.
"You may think otherwise, but you haven't heard me sing yet, and even despite your underestimating me, I'll allow you to join my band if you know how to play the electric guitar." Chloe says, she was completely confident in every word she spoke.
"I know how to play the acoustic guitar, not the electric guitar." Ciara points out which makes Chloe growl.
"...At least we could partially be friends." Chloe simply responds before looking ahead of her which makes Ciara blink.
"Partially?" Ciara questions before she looks ahead of her also.
"Are you three ready!?...Set! GO!" Rival starts off asking the three a question, before immediately starting their part of the race before he looks at the camera, "PLAY A SONG!"
The Goo Goo Dolls-Iris
"And I'd give up forever to touch you."
Rainy was seen first and she closes her eyes before opening them, she then runs across the first obstacle and she was able to make it through it despite a few slips, but she did sweat a bit along the way.
"'Cause I know that you feel me somehow."
Chloe and Ciara were seen side by side and the two of them didn't struggle too much and so the two of them easily made it past the first obstacle, they even got through it before Rainy did.
"You're the closest to heaven that I'll ever be."
Ciara stopped so she can gather some thoughts on how she should try to complete the second obstacle.
"And I don't want to go home right now."
Chloe just rushed straight to the trampoline and she jumps off it without much of a thought, she had a smile on her face while she reaches for the net.
"And all I can taste is this moment."
Rainy was seen catching her breath and she wipes off her sweat before charging towards the trampoline at the same time with Ciara and the two of them jumped off their respective trampolines.
"And all I can breathe is your life."
Chloe had made the jump and she caught her net before climbing down it and she completes the second obstacle before looking over at Jun and she sticks out her tongue at him.
"And sooner or later it's over."
Meanwhile, Ciara was seen and she had caught the net which made her sigh in relief, she then climbs down the net and makes it past the second obstacle.
"I just don't wanna miss you tonight."
Rainy was seen barely grabbing the net with her fingers, but her fingers slip off and she falls into the water which causes a the largest splash yet which got some water onto Sunny, Sunny grits his teeth after feeling some water get on him.
"And I don't want the world to see me!"
Chloe and Ciara stare at one another while the two of them approached the third obstacle, they both grabbed onto their respective bars while staring at one another.
"'Cause I don't think that they'd understand."
They both swung to their second cradles and they both landed it, Ciara winked at Chloe while in the air.
"When everything's made to be broken!"
Both competitors goes to their third cradles, however Chloe tries showing off and she does a 180, hoping to land on the third cradle backwards.
"I just want you to know who I am."
She overshoots the third cradle and instead falls straight into the water while Ciara watched her fall which makes her smile a bit, then the impact of Chloe's splash caused some water to get on her hand and this causes Ciara's hands to slip off her bar and she falls into the water.
*Song Stops*
"The Five Souls ensures their safety thanks to Ciara getting their second point, this means that The Five Souls are safe from tonight's elimination! The K-Shida's remain at 1 and The Losers Team are stuck at 0!" Rival loudly explains.
"That last obstacle is rigged!" Chloe shouts before getting out of the water.
"Nah, it's just really hard...that's what she said!" Ciara responds before laughing, she then gets out of the water afterwards while Chloe rolled her eyes.
"If I could, I would take you guitar, smash it over your head, and then tell you to say hi to Jun." Chloe states which makes Ciara's eyes widen before smiling at her, "Just kidding!"
"Oh," Ciara responds before sighing in relief, "Thank goodness that's the case, although I don't get what the Jun part was for."
"Don't look too into it!" Chloe dismisses before she walks over to her team before glaring at Jun and she thinks to herself, "The reason why I said that is because I'll make Jun see his lord and savior if he pisses me off anymore."
"DID SOMEONE JUST MENTION MY LORD AND SAVIOR!?" Jun loudly asks, Chloe tries her very best to resist the urge to punch Jun which she is able to just barely do before she stood by Ingrid.
"H-Hey C-Chloe, Are you o-okay?" Ingrid nervously asks before Chloe nods.
"Yeah, it was merely a splash that I caused, A.K.A. the thing I always cause whenever I'm playing the drums!" Chloe declares while Ingrid nods.
"T-True...H-Hey C-Chloe, do you think Jun l-likes me?" Ingrid asks which makes Chloe blink before slowly looking over at her.
"...Don't ever ask me that again, friend." Chloe simply states while glaring at Ingrid with her red eyes, this makes Ingrid jump.
"O-Okay!" Ingrid responds before looking down and she began thinking to herself, "Wait...Why do I feel like how I did with my other friends?"
"Hey team! It looks like we don't have much to worry about now!" Ciara exclaims before walking on over to the rest of her team.
"Good job, Ciara Yates, the order of people I chose wasn't perfect but at least we are safe from elimination." Jared confirms before sighing in relief.
"Guess it's my turn next, right?" Kyle questions before Jared nods.
"Yes it is, you can cruise through this like you do in life, though." Jared says which makes Kyle chuckle.
"Glad to hear that, but I'll try to at least make it through this course, although I will congratulate you and Ciara for securing our team, and Lia for trying." Kyle says which Jared nods to.
"Yeah, I'd say Jared and I deserve a special night with one another for what we did today." Ciara remarks while wrapping an arm around Jared's neck.
"We get it, your horny." Miriam immediately says which made Ciara shrug.
"Whatever you say...maybe I should make a song about this." Ciara suddenly began thinking to herself, Lia was then seen getting Ciara's arm out from around Jared's neck.
"I wonder what it'd be called, my guess is: It's Everynight Bruh, and you'd create a band called Team Sixty-Nine." Lia jokes which gets a bit of a laugh out of Ciara.
"Nah, I'll come up with something better than a title which sounds about as creative as Tori's imagination." Ciara makes a joke right back at Lia.
"Genuinely, I have no idea what the heck you two are talking about." Jared confirms before Miriam puts a hand on his shoulder.
"It's called girl talk, get used to it." Miriam comments before looking at Kyle who watched the rest of his team interact with one another.
"Guess I'll go now." Kyle says before looking away and he walks to the obstacle course.
"And now we've got our possibly last set of runners if The K-Shida's are able to secure one more point! Speaking of which, The runner for The K-Shida's is Alex, and for The team with no points A.K.A. The Losers Team sent out Hannah, and lastly we've got The Five Souls who have selected Kyle to run for them...which was very obvious if you were keeping track before we transitioned to this!" Rival states while staring at the camera.
"Alright, I'm at a distinct disadvantage against Hannah and Kyle due to my lack of physical strength, and also that on a scale of one through ten, I'd rate my running skills a one, but I have two ways on how to nail this, either hope for the two of them to mess up or for me to find some sort of way to get through this on pure intelligence alone which seems impossible." Alex tries using his big brain to stare at the obstacle course in front of him.
"If I am able to win this round for my team, then I'll be able to tie things up with The K-Shida's and it will be all up to Ferguson to win us the day...it may be unlikely, but I hope he'll be able to win this for us because if we lose today, then one of us will be eliminated and honestly, I'd prefer it if I went home over him." Hannah's mind was on other things while she mentally prepared herself for the obstacle course.
"Looks like these two have a lot of things on their minds, maybe I should talk to them about their issues." Kyle was more focused on the other competitors rather than the obstacle or another subject. He decides to try and strike up a conversation for the three of them, "So, Do any of you know about Momo?"
"Y-You mean t-the creature who a-a 12 year old who h-had a conversation with M-Momo before her death?" Ingrid was heard questioning which makes everyone turn their attentions to her.
"Surprisingly enough, I have...thanks for reminding me." Alex sarcastically says while staring over at Kyle.
"You're welcome." Kyle simply says before Alex sighs.
"He's too cool looking for me to hate him." Alex confirms inside of his mind.
"I'm not shocked at all that You and Ingrid know about something disturbing, but how did you know Momo, Alex?" Hannah asks while looking over at Alex.
"Please don't ask me questions I don't wanna give you the answer to." Alex avoids the question before shivering which makes Hannah raise an eyebrow before she looks at Kyle.
"Hey Kyle, How do you know so much about urban legends?" Hannah decides to ask Kyle a question next.
"Well I liked hanging out with my friends at a swamp which are nearby us and so I had a fascination with the paranormal." Kyle simply answers which makes Hannah confused.
"How does living in a swamp immediately translate into 'I am curious about the paranormal'?" Hannah asks before Kyle shrugs.
"I dunno, it just does." Kyle makes Hannah more confused.
"Let's start the challenge...GO!" Rival starts the challenge automatically without giving the three runners much time to prepare after the chat they just had.
*Song Resumes*
"And you can't fight the tears that ain't coming."
Alex was seen going across the first obstacle and he took a while, but was able to get through the first obstacle, although he was the last one through the obstacle course.
"Or the moment of truth in your lies."
Hannah had trouble getting across the first obstacle and she lost her balance at times, but she was able to grab onto some of the 'Stepping Stones'.
"When everything feels like the movies."
Hannah then swings herself back onto the obstacle and she makes it through the first obstacle...second.
"Yeah you bleed just to know you're alive!"
Kyle was seen already passed though the first obstacle, he pulled a baseball ahead of him which he chases before jumping on the trampoline for the second obstacle and he smiles while staring at the baseball.
"And I don't want the world to see me!"
Kahlin Morale had caught the net using both his hands, but he was able to use his left hand to catch the baseball which was behind him, he then puts the baseball back in his pocket.
"'Cause I don't think that they'd understand."
While Kyle was getting through the second obstacle, Hannah was seen trying to catch up and she jumps off the trampoline for the second obstacle.
"When everything's made to be broken!"
She came up short however, and she fell straight into the water despite being fingertips away from the net, the camera then shows Alex.
"I just want you to know who I am."
Alex jumped off the trampoline next, but he barely got any distance and he didn't even come close to the net and instead just fell straight into the water which Kyle watches this.
*Song Stops*
"Well, at least they tried." Kyle says, it seemed that his ability to run was pretty good, considering that he plays baseball all the time...it wasn't too hard to really figure out.
"The Five Souls remain in the lead with 3 points! The K-Shida's remain at 1 point, while The Losers Team remain at 0!" Rival announces, it was clear that The new Losers Team weren't doing well in this challenge. The first two-thirds of the challenge rely on sprinting and running, while the last part relied mostly on upper body strength and swinging accuracy, something which clearly not everyone knew.
"Dammit..." Hannah was seen saying after she got up from the water, she was disappointed in herself for being unable to tie things up with The K-Shida's and she looks over at her team. Jun just shook his head while Chloe glared at him still, Ingrid looked down in defeat, and Ferguson slightly looked at Hannah before he turned his head to look at the opposite direction of her. Hannah then got out the water before sighing before looking over at Kyle, "Well at the very least we can tie things up...no help from me there."
"I had a feeling that things wouldn't work out." Alex states upon getting up from the water, he then gets out of the water before looking at the rest of his team. He knew that Miriam was gonna be the last runner for their team and so he sees he run pass him, Alex then puts his index finger and thumbs on his chin while he watched her run. He then began analyzing her speed like so, "It's clear that she'll be faster than me and I'd say her running is about a seven on the running scale, so we have a good chance with getting this last point considering one of her other opponents is-"
"..." Ferguson was seen simply walking past Alex, Alex watches him while he walked by, he could feel Ferguson's energy and he gulps a bit before putting a hand on his shoulder.
"Hey Fergy-" Alex begins saying with a smile, only for Ferguson to turn his head to look behind him and he stares at Alex.
"...Who's Fergy?" Ferguson simply asks before looking down once more and he walks away while Alex sees him walk away with widened eyes.
"And now we've got our final three contestants for this last phase of the challenge! Evan is the last person for The K-Shida's who need this point if they wanna avoid elimination, Ferguson is last for The Losers Team who need this point to at least tie things with The K-Shida's which will lead to a tiebreaker, and Miriam runs last for The Five Souls who already have secured their safety but I doubt this dancer will just simply throw this round though! Trust me, I know a ballerina who probably wouldn't throw their round either!" Rival states before Miriam nods in agreement.
"Yeah, I don't know who that is but let's just say that I ain't The Fiery Dancer for nothing!" Miriam confidently states which makes Rival chuckle.
"I know, it's literally in your application!" Rival says while holding up a piece of paper, he then crumbles it and throws it behind him, then a knife was seen being thrown at the paper and the knife stuck the paper into a nearby tree.
"And I'm on my waaay!" A tall and skinny boy was seen running behind Rival, they were seen holding onto blue headphones they were currently wearing which was playing the song they were singing to. They appeared to have messy short messy blonde hair, the boy also had a bandage his nose. Lastly they were wearing a white t-shirt under a black hoodie, along with dark blue jeans and blue hiking boots.
"Thanks for the knife Robin!" Rival says before looking over at Robin, Robin gave him a thumbs up before the boy was seen out of breath while he held Robin's knife in his left hand and the paper in his right hand.
"Singing to...tiny dancer..." The boy continued to sing while Rival looks into the forest before Robin pulled the boy away before Rival looks back at all the other contestants.
"That was Milo Kale, and also this last round won't even be an obstacle race!" Rival declares.
"WHAT!?" Evan loudly asks upon hearing this, Miriam simply raised an eyebrow, Ferguson just looks at Rival with a unchanged expression.
"Yep, because this final round between the three of you, shall be a fight! The first person to go down will lose the challenge for their team!" Rival announces.
"No...nonono..." Jared responds while his eyes had widened, "That means if Miriam goes down...all my work will be for nothing AGAIN!"
"And this battle shall take place right in front of me! Make sure to make this a great battle!" Rival states with a wide smile, Evan, Ferguson, and Miriam all looked at one another before all of them stepped off the obstacle course.
*Song Resumes*
"And I don't want the world to see me!"
Evan, Ferguson, and Miram all stood in front of Rival.
"'Cause I don't think that they'd understand."
Robin was seen stopping Evan by quickly holding his knife to his throat before the headbutt could connect (Episode 6).
"When everything's made to be broken!"
The camera focuses on the baseball as it went out of Fergy's hand (Episode 5).
"I just want you to know who I am..."
Miriam stood in front of Jun before slowly flipping him off with her middle finger, but the camera's censor this (Episode 4).
"And I don't want the world to see me!"
Evan and Miriam then charge at one another while Ferguson took a deep breath.
"'Cause I don't think that they'd understand!"
Evan tries punching Miriam, however the fiery dancer is able to step back and avoid the punch.
"When everything's meant to be broken!"
She then lifts her foot in the air and kicks Evan's chin which sends him into the air.
"I just want you to know who I am!"
Evan recovers in the air and he was able to land on his feet.
"I just want you to know who I am!"
Evan and Miriam then stare at one another.
"I just want you to know who I am!"
They both charged at one another, Evan was preparing a punch while Miriam was preparing a kick.
"I just want you to know who I am..."
Ferguson runs and he tries punching both of them, but he accidentally gets between the two of them and Evan accidentally punches Ferguson while Miriam kicks him at the same time.
*Song Change*
Imagine Dragons-There's Nothing Left To Say
"I keep fallin',"
Chloe drops Fergy's flute from her left hand and it hit his head (Episode 4).
"I keep fallin' down."
Many of the baseballs fired out begin hitting Fergy all over his body from his head to his kiwi and to his toes (Episode 5).
"I keep fallin',"
The tiger walks around Fergy while Fergy stays in the position, it looks like he was playing dead and is frozen in fear at the same time (Episode 6).
"I keep fallin' down."
Fergy was seen being completely quiet while reading the piece of paper he had in his hands before slowly putting it to look in front of him, the person in front of Fergy was Hannah Jordan (Episode 7).
"If you could only save me,"
Ferguson's eyes were open while he was seen flying through the air.
"I'm drowning in the waters of Myseeeeeeelf!"
Everything suddenly turns black and white and there was nothing but darkness surrounding Ferguson and one light shining on him, it now looked like he was in water.
"There's Nothing (Nothiiing!) Left To Say now! (Say-heeey!)."
The camera then cuts to a shot above Ferguson while he looked completely dead on the inside.
"There's Nothing Left To Say now! (Oh, Oh)"
He then closes his eyes before falling unconscious.
"I'm giving up, giving up, hey, hey,"
However, he was also seen slowly falling to the ground.
"Giving up now."
It looked like there were bubbles all around him while he fell.
"I'm giving up, giving up, hey, hey,"
He eventually landed on the bottom while unconscious.
"Giving up now."
The camera focuses on him while he was down and Ferguson slightly opens his eyes.
"(Ooooh Oh) There's Nothing (Nothiiing!) Left To Say now! (Say-heeey!)"
Only for Ferguson to see a smaller version of himself walk up to him from the darkness.
"There's Nothing Left To Say now-!"
The smaller Neil then sat down in front of him before he lays on his side.
"(Oooooooo-) I'm giving up, giving up, hey, hey,"
Ferguson stares at himself with a emotionless look.
"(Oooooooo-) Giving up now."
Neil then smiled before evaporating into bubbles while Ferguson watched his other self do this.
"(Oooooooh!) I'm giving up, giving up, hey, hey,"
The bubbles of Ferguson's other self then goes into Ferguson's mouth, he lets this happen before closing his eyes.
"Giving up now!"
Everything goes back to normal and Ferguson was seem completely unconscious on the ground once more.
*Song Ends*
"The K-Shida's and The Five Souls are safe from elimination! Meaning that the team going into tonight's elimination are The Losers Team!" Rival announces while he was seen in the background, the camera just kept focusing on Ferguson however.
"Well, I guess that works." Miriam was heard speaking.
"That did not feel good, but it will feel good to defeat you if I ever battle you again." Evan's voice was heard responding.
"In your dreams!" Miriam confidently states, but the camera focused on Ferguson the entire time while he was still unconscious on the ground, Hannah was seen running towards him.
"F-Fergy!" Hannah shouts while she held him in her arms, Jun, Chloe, and Ingrid were all seen walking up to Hannah while she held Ferguson in her arms.
"...I'll see you guys in tonight's elimination." Rival simply says towards The Losers Team, he then stares down at Ferguson before looking ahead of him and he walks away afterwards.
"Well, it appears that we've lost today's challenge." Jun confirms before crossing his arms.
"No kidding, Sherlock." Chloe sarcastically remarks.
"Thank you, I have been called Sherlock many times." Jun completely ignores the sarcasm before proudly smiling while Chloe growls.
"I will strangle him and make sure he will become MY BI-!" Chloe begins aggressively ranting inside of her head.
"W-Who are we g-gonna vote off t-tonight?" Ingrid interrupted Chloe's thoughts and asks the question which the rest of The Losers Team were wondering.
"Let's discuss that once we get back to our cabin." Jun says before the camera cuts away from them.
The Five Souls
"Yay! We got our first win!" Lia cheers which Jared laughs at a bit.
"Indeed we did, thanks for winning the challenge for us Miriam, I was honestly very nervous this wouldn't end well again." Jared admits while sighing in relief.
"You have too little faith in me, I'm pretty sure me and Evan could've gone for even longer than that, but you're welcome, I'm just doing what it takes to win." Miriam states, she was clearly proud of herself for what she did.
"We started off strong with this challenge win, let's hope to win more times than the amount of times it takes to summon Bloody Mary." Kyle once again makes a reference to a urban legend.
"That would just mean we would just have to get four wins in a row, though." Lia points out before Kyle nods.
"Exactly, speaking of winning, hey Ciara? You gonna try hooking up with Rival for a night?" Kyle questions before pointing to Rival.
"How'd you know I was gonna target him next?" Ciara questions with a proud smile on her face.
"Let's just say that you're not too hard to understand." Kyle simply answers before Ciara nods.
"Alright, luckily this'll just be a one-off thing!" Ciara declares before she ran away from her team, she blows a kiss to Jared while she ran away.
"Looks like Kyle accidentally released the succubus to go after another victim." Lia jokes around which gets a laugh out of Kyle.
"Nice one." Kyle responds before Jared slowly looks over at Kyle and he stares at him, meanwhile Lia was seen staring at Ciara.
"Love is overrated." Miriam comments towards the camera while watching the rest of her team get caught up in some kind of relationship frenzy, only for the camera to cut away from this.
The K-Shida's
"Another day, another win for team Sunny." Sunny declares before laughing a bit while Leo nods.
"Yay! W-We won a-another c-challenge." Leo nervously says, the proud and happy him was now gone and he was now just back to his nervous and unsure self he was before the challenge.
"It was a close call for sure, but we pulled out the win today." Rainy agrees before she looks on over at Alex and Evan while they both looked at the Persnisky twins and Leon Salvatore.
"Yeah, luckily the two of us are safe for today, which is definitely a good thing." Evan confirms while nodding.
"Indeed it is, also should the three of us try discussing something else?" Alex tries coming up with some kind of plan.
"Hey, sis! Let's discuss some family matters!" Sunny states while wrapping an arm around Rainy and she begins dragging her along with him.
"O-Okay..." Rainy was heard responding while she was dragged away from her brother, Alex and Evan then turned their attentions towards Leo before quickly looking at one another.
"Was that-?" Evan was gonna ask.
"Nope, but let's just take advantage of the circumstance." Alex immediately answers before the two of them walked up to Leo with smile on each of their faces.
"...Sup..." Evan simply greets Leo while Alex facepalms, making sure to not hit his glasses while doing so.
"...H-Hi." Leo nervously responds and instead, Alex tries thinking to himself only for him to get distracted by Leo's muscles.
"Hello there, handsome~" Alex accidentally says which makes Leo look at him.
"W-What was that?" Leo questions before Alex jumps.
"N-NOTHING!" Alex immediately answers, now it's Evan's turn to facepalm at how poorly the conversation between the three of them were going.
"This is gonna take a while." Evan remarks inside of his mind.
*After the Challenge*
The camera's decide to show the aftermath of the challenge and decide to specifically focus on the team who lost today's challenge. The team it decided to focus on was the team who had earned their name for today, The Losers Team, who were all walking back into their cabins with something on each member's mind. But, the camera decides to focus on Jun for now who looks on over at Chloe and Ingrid, he then waves for them to come to him which they do so.
"Now, lets answer Ingrid's question she asked earlier." Jun confirms while looking at the girls with a smile.
"W-Wait, I gotta do s-something!" Ingrid stutteringly exclaims before Jun raises an eyebrow.
"Are you gonna do 'something' good?" Jun asks before Ingrid nods.
"Y-Yeah, I-I'll be b-back." Ingrid confirms before she runs out of the house which means it's now just Chloe and Jun.
"Why am I stuck with this piece of steaming, smell, grade A piece of sh-!?" Chloe began ranting to herself in her mind.
"Wanna listen to some K-Pop that has been given to me by Jesus?" Jun requests while pulling out a golden phone which makes Chloe's eyes widen.
"Did you have that in your pocket all this time!?" Chloe loudly asks a very reasonable question.
"And there's a lot more where that came from, you could have a golden phone which would make everyone look at you in awe." Jun states before throws the phone into the air while Chloe slowly smiled upon hearing this.
"How much popularity and praise will I receive from it?" Chloe asks before Jun was seen catching his golden phone before putting it back in his pocket.
"I dunno, do you have some sort of inferiority complex?" Jun decides to answer Chloe's question with a question.
"...What do I have to do?" Chloe gives the answer without needing to really answer Jun's question, Jun laughs a bit before putting on a smug smirk on his face.
"Today, we vote her out." Jun says while pointing at Hannah while she was seen walking over to her bed.
"Sounds like a plan, but I wouldn't have been against that, especially since I'm pretty sure you were just gonna well Ingrid to-" Chloe began explaining, she was puzzled by Jun's proposal.
"And if we lose our next challenge, lets vote out Ingrid next." Jun states which makes Chloe's eyes widened.
"WHAT!?" Chloe loudly asks before Jun laughs a bit more.
"If you tell Ingrid about this, it won't work because I can assure you that I will get her with me and the two of us will take...you...down." Jun pauses more near the end of his sentence to make his words have more impact.
"No, I've hung out with Ingrid for a week, there's no way-!" Chloe begins shouting before the door was heard opening, Jun and Chloe looked over at the door and they both saw Ingrid who walked in with a tray of cookies. The tray of cookies she was holding were all in shapes of scribbly hearts which clearly weren't used by the most accurate shapes.
"Ah hey, Jun, u-um did you know that t-there are about t-t-two million Kpop s-stan in Southeast Asia and S-South America a-alone? Agh, sorry! I-I spout scary facts when I'm really nervous. A-Anyway I baked you some cookies, s-sorry they're in weird shapes..." Ingrid says nervously before she hands over the tray of cookies into Jun's hands.
"Thank you darling, while the shapes are a little strange, these cookies smell absolutely delicious~" Jun says which makes Ingrid blush, Jun then walks over to his bed. While the leader of The Losers Team put the tray of cookies on his bed, Chloe was seen slowly looking over at Ingrid.
"THIS IS WHY I HATE LOVE!" Chloe angrily states inside of her mind before she grabs Ingrid's hand and she began dragging her out of the house.
"H-Hey! C-Chloe!" Ingrid tries protesting, but Chloe was able to drag her out of the cabin which Jun just sat down and watch before the door was heard being slammed.
"Dissension is fun to watch~" Jun states with a smirk before he grabs a cookie and eats it before he lays down on his bed, He then closes his eyes before the camera showed Ferguson getting up from his bed.
"I know I'm not the center of the universe,"
Ferguson storms into the bathroom and he presses his head against the mirror in the bathroom while closing his eyes.
"But you keep spinning 'round me just the same."
He then coughs, some bubbles were seen coming out his mouth while the bathroom looked very dim with not much light inside of it. The bubbles which came out of Ferguson's mouth while the lighting began changing to a more blue-ish color while the bubbles were seen going behind Ferguson and it hovers onto the ground.
"I know I'm not the center of the universe,"
Hannah was seen standing outside of the cabin while looking down.
"But you keep spinning 'round me just the same."
Chloe and Ingrid were seen exiting the cabin, Hannah watches this happen.
"And I drive myself crazy-!"
She then takes a deep breath before looking at the bathroom window.
"Thinking everything's about me!"
Hannah then enters the cabin before the camera cuts back to Ferguson.
"Holding on..."
A glass shard fell off the mirror and onto the ground.
"Why is everything so Heavy?"
He feels something touch him and so Ferguson looks down at the glass shard.
"Holding on..."
Ferguson then bends down to pick up the glass shard with a look of confusion.
"So much more than I can carry."
He then stands up and looks back in the mirror while he held the glass shard in his fingertips.
Linkin Park - Heavy (feat. Kiiara)
"I keep dragging around what's bringing me down."
Another Neil was seen behind him while he was looking in the mirror, the other Fergy pulls Ferguson by his shirt and throws him into the wall.
"If I just let go, I'd be set free."
Hannah was seen walking towards the bathroom before the camera cuts back to Fergy who was currently elbowing the other him in the back of his head.
"Holding on..."
The screen then shows Hannah and Ferguson side by side, Hannah was putting her hand on the door knob to the bathroom while Fergy's other self grabs Neil before throwing him into the mirror and the mirror shatters.
"Why is everything so Heavy?..."
Hannah's eyes was see widening as she heard the glass shatter and she tries desperately to open the door, Fergy was seen suddenly smashing his other self over the head using a toilet tank lid while glass was stuck all over his back.
"Why is everything so Heavy?..."
Neil was seen being strangled by his other self before he was picked up by his shirt and thrown against the wall, Ferguson then falls onto the ground before sitting up and he suddenly no longer sees his other self. Hannah noticed the door was locked and so she tried breaking down the door and slamming against it as hard as she could over and over again.
"Why is everything so Heavy?"
Hannah finally breaks down the door to see Neil "Fergy" Ferguson on the ground, he then looks around and notices the mess he made before looking at his hands and he puts them to his face before crying to himself, Hannah sat down by him while he does this and she watches him cry.
*Song Ends*
"I-I-I'm such a p-pathetic weakling!" Ferguson shouts at himself while he continues crying, Hannah saw that there was pieces of a toilet tank lid on his head, some glass shards in his back, and hand marks around his neck. She was completely at a lost for words upon seeing all of this and she felt completely awful for Ferguson. She looks down before looking back at him and she wraps her arms around his neck and she hugs Ferguson which made him remove his hands from his face, she seemed to have a few bruises on her now thanks to her breaking down the bathroom door.
"I'm sorry for not telling you the truth yesterday...you clearly have been through a lot and I understand that you felt like I betrayed you yesterday." Hannah apologizes while there were still tears coming from Ferguson's eyes, but he tries pushing Hannah away.
"Y-Yeah, and I-I ain't falling f-for that again! I d-don't deserve anyone's pity! L-Let alone from s-someone who'll probably backstab m-me!" Ferguson shouts while trying to break up the hug, but Hannah kept her hold on him.
"You're confused, you want help yet you don't want help, you trust me yet you don't trust me, you are Fergy yet you aren't...you're not sure of anything anymore and I'm one of the reasons for that." Hannah simply says while she closed her eyes, Ferguson hears what she says and he tries less and less to try and push her away before looking down.
"I am...I don't know anything anymore, all I know is that I'm just a failure." Ferguson says, Hannah then opens her eyes before slowly grabbing onto Ferguson's shoulders while she began leaning on him and they look face to face with one another.
"You know, there's this other person I know who feels the exact way you do, they too feel like they're a mess, they too feel like they've been betrayed, they too are constantly down on themselves." Hannah begins speaking before she wipes the trials of tears off Ferguson's cheeks and near his eyes.
"R-Really?" Ferguson questions before looking down a little, Hannah nods before then chuckling a bit which made Ferguson turn his attention back to her, "What was the chuckle for?"
"It's just ironic...I am afraid of ending up alone like this person, and yet I'm comforting the person who is like her right now..." Hannah says while smiling before laughing a little before staring into the eyes of Neil Ferguson, "I'm comforting...Fergy."
"...F-Fergy?" Fergy questions with a confused look, Hannah then nods.
"Yeah, you may think that you're currently weak and it's obvious to me that you came here to move along from your past and become a new person, someone you can be proud of, someone who can get a girlfriend, someone that is more than just someone who was metaphorically and literally pissed on in the past...you don't just want to be Neil, you want to be Fergy." Hannah explains which makes Fergy blink, he then looks down while taking in everything which the heartthrob has just said.
"...What's the difference? We're both losers." Fergy begins talking down to himself once more.
"The difference is that Neil is the you who you want to forget and move on from, but there was one flaw in your plan with starting anew...you tried forgetting about Neil and instead you ended up becoming him once again and that made things even worse for yourself." Hannah continues speaking to Fergy while staring into his eyes. "Rather than forgetting about who you used to be, you should remember who you used to be and instead, you should should use your past experiences to fuel yourself and learn from your past mistakes, instead of forgetting about Neil Ferguson, you should remember Neil to try and help you become Fergy." Hannah keeps on explaining, she then notices Fergy tilting his head and looking at her with a puzzled look on his face. "In order to truly become Fergy and become the new you, who you can be proud of, you need to remember Neil so you can motivate yourself into becoming more than who you were before, use Neil to help you become a better person, use Neil to learn from your past mistakes, and use Neil to truly move along from your past rather than forget about it, only then will you become the Fergy I know you can become."
"..." Fergy remained completely quiet, he was then seen looking back down before Hannah sighed.
"But, I will leave you alone just this once, tonight I'll be voted off and I'll make sure that happens, because I would rather get eliminated then watch you get sent home without becoming the person you want to be." Hannah says before Fergy then looked up at her.
"..." He opens his mouth to speak.
"And there's nothing you can say which would change my mind..." Hannah cuts him off before turning around and she walks out of the bathroom which Fergy watches.
*Elimination Ceremony*
*After the Votes*
Rather than showing what everyone talked about before deciding their votes, the camera's decide to immediately go to the aftermath of the voting process. Ferguson was looking down after he was seen making the final vote, he then sits down on a stump, the camera then shows Jun, Chloe, Ingrid, and Hannah all at the elimination also. Rival then nods at everyone while staring on over at the five torches right beside him with the names of each Loser Team member on it, there was a campfire right in front of him.
"I'll go read the votes." Rival confirms before he nods and begins walking on over to the Confessional Room which he smiled a bit at upon entering it, he then picks up the box which had all of the votes inside of it before walking out of the room. The camera shows The Losers Team while they all watched Rival while he held the box in his hands.
"As long as Chloe told Ingrid the strategy for tonight, it should be a guarantee that Hannah is going home tonight, and even if Chloe tells Ingrid the truth, she won't even believe her, however Hannah, your time to go to the afterlife has been decided by ME." Jun confidently states in his mind before he stares at Hannah while having a wide smirk on his face.
"I hate you so damn much Jun! I should've known that if Ingrid was lonely enough to be my friend, that she'd fall for a piece of crap like him! But, maybe if I vote her off tomorrow...Jun could get me some fame..." Chloe began thinking to herself while a smile slowly appeared on her face, she began realizing what could happen.
"Chloe has told me the plan to vote out Hannah tonight, honestly I didn't like how she forced me out of the cabin earlier, however, I can't really vote off either Chloe or Jun, and I feel really bad for Fergy, so I'm sorry Hannah." Ingrid didn't look happy at all, she sounded more remorseful inside of her mind while she looked over at Hannah.
"Between me and Fergy, I don't wanna see him go home, so I hope that tonight will end well and that Fergy will survive another day so he can become a better player and maybe I could even cheer up Kay when I get home." Hannah ends her inner speech before putting on a slight smile on her face while tears began coming from her eyes, it looks like she didn't really wanna get elimination so early on, but she feels as if this is the only way to redeem herself.
"..." Fergy wasn't even thinking of anything and instead just watched Rival while his hands were in his pockets, he then looks down and stares at the ground for a bit. He then closes his eyes and takes a deep breath, it looks like he was remembering something in his hand which the camera's didn't show this time around. The boy with no stereotype then opened his eyes and let out his breath, The Losers Team now all stared at Rival while he placed the box with all of their votes on the podium.
"Someone in this game has found one out of the three elimination-preventing objects..." Rival begins speaking while the camera cuts to Jun's perspective while he began looking around. However, Rival was heard finishing his sentence, "If you'd like to play it, do it now..."
"..." Jun remained completely silent, instead he looked at the rest of his team to see if there were any hints or anyone who seemed to have one of the three objects. Chloe was seen looking around also upon hearing this face and she began glaring at everyone else, hoping that no one would play an object. Ingrid gulps before she began looking around at everyone else, it didn't look like she had much of an idea on who could have had such an object. Hannah simply remained sitting down on her stump, she wipes her tears from her eyes before putting on a stone face, she didn't even look at the rest of her team and instead she kept staring in front of her. Fergy was the last person seen and he just kept looking emotionless as ever, it wasn't easy getting a read on him especially since he looked like he was consistently depressed.
"Last chance..." Rival states once more, he looks over at The Losers Team while saying this, The Losers Team all looked back at Rival except for Fergy and they all waited in anticipation.

"Hey, Rival..." A voice was heard speaking, Rival slowly smiled upon hearing the voice speak as if he already knew who it was saying these words. The Losers Team all looked over at the person who spoke these two words.
"Here's my-" The person continued their sentence and they pulled a golden necklace from out of their pocket, the camera then focuses on the necklace while it hung from the person's finger.
"Hey Hannah, do you have any secrets to spill?" Fergy questions which makes Hannah's eyes widen before shaking her head, he pulled something out of his pot before putting it in his pocket while asking this (Episode 7).
"Hidden Safety Necklace." The camera then turns and reveals that the person who said this...was-
"Neil "Fergy" Ferguson." Rival states with a smile, the camera then shows that it was indeed Fergy who had pulled out the Hidden Safety Necklace.
"Please...just call me Fergy." Fergy responds before he smiled right back at Rival, the other Fergy was seen charging at him from the background, but Fergy simply smirked before his other self shattered into a bunch of glass pieces. The glass pieces then slowly disintegrate and they all turned into dust before the dust was seen going into the night sky. It appeared that no one else could see this happening, but Fergy knew this also and he simply didn't care about these strange stuff he's been seeing.
"Alright then, Fergy, I guess this means-" Rival says before grabbing the golden necklace and he stares at it.
"I'm playing it for Hannah." Rival suddenly hears Fergy confirm which made his eyes widen.
"...What?" Rival questions, he stares at Fergy while asking this.
"WHAT!?" Jun and Chloe were both seen loudly asking in unison, both of them looked absolutely livid at what Fergy has just done.
"W-Wait, W-What!?" Ingrid asks, there was a mixture of relief at the fact that her vote didn't matter since it means there's no blood on her hand, but there was still surprise heard in her voice since she didn't even know that Fergy could do this!
"W-W-W-W..." Hannah was completely speechless by what she heard just heard, she had completely accepted the fact that she thought she was gonna go home tonight for Fergy's sake...but apparently Fergy had other plans.
"I'm playing The Hidden Safety Necklace for Hannah, I am making sure tonight's elimination goes the way I want it to." Fergy confirms, Rival smiled upon hearing Fergy say this.
"Guess we'll see what was your plan then..." Rival responds, he seemed to be genuinely interested and impressed by the move which Fergy had just pulled off. Fergy then nods at him before he turns around and smiled at everyone, the boy seemed happy once more before he sat down on a stump while the rest of his team looked at Rival in shock. Rival then holds the necklace and observes it before looking at the team, "This IS the Hidden Safety Necklace, meaning that any votes against Hannah won't count."
"Fergy..." Hannah thinks to herself while she kept on staring at Fergy, she was bittersweet with what was happening, she liked how Fergy protected her but she didn't even know what he was gonna do.
"Alright, time to read the votes..." Rival says before he opens the box up and he pulls out the first picture from the box while everyone watched on, no one except for Fergy knew what was gonna happen now.
.
.
.
.
.
"First vote, Hannah." Rival says before revealing a picture of Hannah with a giant yet messy 'X' on her picture, it was like the person was reluctant to have voted Hannah. "However, the vote does not count." Rival explains before he rips the picture in half and he lets the picture float into the campfire where it burns.
"Never thought I'd be glad to see a picture of me burning." Hannah remarks in her mind before chuckling a bit at what she's just thought.
"Second vote..." Rival states before pulling out the second picture.
.
.
.
.
.
"Hannah, it doesn't count." Rival reads the second vote before revealing another picture of Hannah, this one had a bunch of giant 'X's on it.
"I should have drawn more ten! Especially since I'm twice as pissed as I was earlier!" Chloe angrily states in her mind while she crumbled her fists.
"The third and next vote is for..." The host states, he then pulls out the third picture and stares at it.
.
.
.
.
.
"Hannah, but the vote is obsolete." Rival confirms while revealing another picture of Hannah, the picture had a noticeably smaller 'X' on it than the other pictures did.
"Drawing a big 'X' for someone I REALLY don't wanna vote out seems a bit too much." Ingrid explains internally, it was clear she was the the one who made this vote.
"Here comes our fourth and second-to-last vote..." The male guitarist was seen speaking before pulling out the fourth vote, Jun grits his teeth upon hearing that they were now on the fourth vote.
.
.
.
.
.
"Hannah, meaning that all the votes so far have been rendered useless." Rival states while showing the fourth picture of Hannah which was seen in the box, it had a big 'X' on it, however the 'X' was yellow.
"That was my vote! This means that my plan didn't work AT ALL!" Jun confirms in his eyes before the pupils in them shrank, he even began sweating before he looks over at Fergy.
"Looks like my vote will be the deciding one." Fergy simply says, unlike everyone else, he wasn't nervous or unsure, he was confident and completely relaxed and he even stood up.
"WHY DID YOU HAVE TO DO PLAY IT FOR HER!?" Chloe angrily asks while pointing at Hannah, she was absolutely PISSED.
"T-Thanks Fergy, b-but why are you standing?" Hannah asks before Fergy chuckles.
"Looks like i-it's all up to w-what F-Fergy did now..." Ingrid says before The Losers Team all looked over at Rival after he pulled out the fifth and final vote.
"The fifth and final vote...and the person going home..." Rival begins speaking, everyone stares at him with nothing but the wind now being heard while Rival smirked at all the competitors. Only the host and Fergy currently knew what was gonna happen and so everyone else were completely in the dark with what is about to happen. Rival then slowly turns the last picture s slowly as he could so the reveal of the last vote could be as dramatic as possible.

"Fergy." Rival confirms before showing the final picture, it was indeed a picture of Fergy but unlike an 'X' like all the other pictures, it had the words 'Who could have known that my way to move along in life by using Neil to help me become the new me would work? Well, I will not change completely, I will be better than who I was before...I will truly become Fergy, I will never be perfect but I can try to be the best me' on it.
"WHAT!?" The Losers Team loudly questioned, except for Fergy who simply walked up to Hannah before he stares at her.
"Y-You c-could've...Y-You c-could've p-prevented this!" Hannah points out, she was absolutely baffled by Fergy's decision.
"I could have, but honestly, I've wanted to vote myself out since two days ago." Fergy confirms before putting his hands in his pockets.
"I don't want any of them to be eliminated...so I'll vote..." The camera focuses on the picture which he was holding in both of his hands. Fergy then stares at the camera before revealing whose picture he chose...it was..."Myself." (Episode 6)
"W-Why d-didn't you let m-me be e-eliminated!? W-Why didn't you e-eliminate Jun or Chloe!?" Hannah asks another question while she was pointing at Jun and Chloe who both sighed in relief.
"Because I know you'll be able to make it pass the merge without me, I know it's probably a weak reason for not voting out Jun or Chloe, my reason for doing that was...her." Fergy says before he points over to Ingrid, Ingrid squeaks while Fergy and Hannah looked at her.
"M-Me!?" Ingrid asks before Fergy nods.
"Yeah, truth be told, I really do think you're a sweet person and me voting out either your crush or your best friend would just make me feel awful." Fergy explains, Ingrid blushes lightly after hearing this.
"B-But, you don't e-even know m-me." Ingrid points out, she was puzzled by Fergy's explanation.
"Let's just say I don't use my brain as much as I do my heart, and my heart tells me that it doesn't matter if I barely know you." Fergy says before Hannah was heard laughing, he then looks over at her.
"Hehehe, you're such an idiot!" Hannah says while she began crying while laughing, she then hugs Fergy before he returned the favor.
"I am, guess I just do stuff for girls more times than I really should, after all, some habits take a while before they go away." Fergy responds, the two then finished their hug and they get their arms out from around one another.
"I guess your stereotype can be the dorky simp, then." Hannah jokingly says while there were still some tears on her cheeks and below her eyes.
"Heh...The Dorky Simp...That sounds about right." Fergy remarks while wiping the tears off of her face and Hannah blushed because of this.
"Alright then 'The Dorky Simp,' I hope the Chain of Shame won't hurt you." Hannah says before Fergy laughed.
"Hah! Good one." Fergy states before he walks away, Hannah blushed more and she smiled while watching Fergy walk up to the host.
"Going out on a bittersweet note, I can relate." Rival says to Fergy before laughing a bit.
"Yeah, the thing you can't relate to is being in a potential relationship with just one girl." Fergy immediately remarks before flashing a smirk at Rival, this makes Rival's eyes widen a little. The host then smiled back at the contestant before he crumbles his fist which makes Fergy gulp a bit, only for Rival to put it in front of him. Fergy stares at the fist before crumbling his fist also and he fist bumps Rival which makes him sigh in relief.
"I'll make you pay for that comment someday, but I do respect you for even saying it." Rival confirms before he puts his right hand (the one he used for the fist bump) back in his pocket before using his left hand to point behind him.
"Where's the Chain of-?" Fergy was gonna ask, but as if on cue, the Chain of Shame then pops out of the forest which catches The Losers Team off-guard with how abruptly it had came. The elimination device then clamps the collar around Fergy's neck which makes his eyes widen and he immediately begins sweating while the rest of his team watches. Rival didn't react at all and instead he looks into the forest before a person was seen walking out of the forest while they held a device with a red button on it.
"Here we go again." Everyone heard the voice speak, they all turned their attention to the person while he came out of the forest and the identity of who they were was revealed, that and also what the person looked like. The person had blueish grey eyes and they appeared to be around Rival's height. They had bright blonde hair which was completely smooth despite it being short, it was clearly a guy who also wore a grey T-shirt, long white pants, and black baseball shoes, they too wore a name-tag which reads, "Adrian Grey."
"See you next time, Fergy~" Rival states while sadistically smiling at Fergy, then Adrian was seen pressing the button once more before Fergy was seen being dragged away by The Chain of Shame, however he gives Hannah one more look. Hannah saw Fergy look at her while everything suddenly went in slow-motion, Fergy's look of fear then went away and he smiled at the Jordan sibling before trying to give her a thumbs up, but he is pulled away before doing so. Only for him to be pulled away into the forest, Hannah then smiled after seeing this and she giggled due to Fergy's last action, she then looks over at Rival and Adrian who were both seen staring at one another.
"..." Adrian remains silent and the smile on Rival's face had gone away, the two of them stared at each other with a look of seriousness on one another's faces. He then pulls out a bottle of beer from him pocket which he shoves into Rival's chest and Rival smirked at him before patting his head, but Adrian grips his wrist while Rival did this. Rival then glares at Adrian before pulling his hand out of his grip before Adrian turns around and walks away while the host watched him walk off back into the forest.
"C-Can we go n-now?" Ingrid nervously asks before Rival puts his smile back on and he looks at the remaining members of The Losers Team with a smile on his face and he nods.
"Yes, you can all leave now!" Rival answers, The Losers Team then leave afterwards before Rival then stares at the bottle of beer inside of his hand which he opens up and smiles at, "Canadian law." He then hears something from his phone, he then pulls his phone out from his pocket before he looks onto it, the text then reads:
She said yes!
"Well, guess this'll have to wait." Rival responds while staring at his bottle of beer.
"To choose to take a life, or refuse to hold the knife-" He then drops the bottle before running away while the camera focuses on the beer.
"Either way I'll find despair!" A flash quickly flashes on the screen and it transitions into the outro.
Erika Harlacher-Zetsubousei Hero Chiryouyaku (English Cover of Danganronpa: The Animation's outro)
"Let's do the dance! You must keep step in this living hell,"
The camera cuts to Hannah who was seen smiling in the picture while wrapping her arm around someone who wasn't there.
"With the beating of your heart it goes ra-ta-ta,"
It then slowly zooms out to reveal that Jun was also in the picture smirking and he had his arms crossed, he also had his eyes closed.
"Like the lucky boy, Whose one desire is just to find a way to survive."
Ingrid was seen turned away from Jun, however she was looking at him with a nervous smile while Chloe was seen standing by Ingrid while she side-eyes the both of them while having a overly aggressive smile.
"What were my dreams before this newfound reality?"
Sunny was seen smirking at the camera also while he had his arms wrapped around Rainy (Who had a slight smile on her face) and Leon (Who was proudly smiling at the camera).
"Trapped me here amidst your laughter, that-"
Evan and Alex were seen also smiling while the two of them were standing back to back with each other.
"'U-pu-pu.'"
The camera then shows Lia who had put up the pace sign behind Jared's head and she makes it look like he had bunny ears, while Ciara had both of her arms wrapped around Jared while she winked at the camera and was smirking, all while Jared had a slight smile on his face.
"I scream out, but my desires are left unanswered,"
Kyle was seen with one hand in his pocket and he used the other to give a peace sign for the camera while looking relaxed as always, and lastly Miriam was seen with crumbled fists while she stares at the camera with a fiery smile.
"Use your head or you've never getting out alive."
The last shot seen was The K-Shida's, The Losers Team, and The Five Souls all separated from one another, but everyone were seen doing their things in this photo before the camera cuts to black as soon as the song gets cut off.

Now, it is time for me to say my apologies to PurpleShadowManipulator for eliminating Fergy in this chapter, His arc didn't last as long as it probably should have, but I never really planned for him to really have a season long arc because I don't think he needed one, clearly he gained a noticeable amount of love after last chapter came out and so that kinda made this episode more fitting since eliminating a likeable character unexpectedly while ALSO wrapping up their arc and eliminating in a bittersweet way seemed kinda perfect in my eyes. The main reason for Fergy's elimination is because of the reason I said earlier: I don't think he really needed a season long arc, my main reason for thinking this is because it's better to eliminate some characters while it seems like the right time to do so rather than drag things out to the point the character becomes redundant and I really didn't want Fergy to overstay his welcome. Also, he isn't exactly the smartest person and I think that Fergy voting himself out is the only thing he'd want to do since he doesn't want to hurt anyone else because he's been down that road before, and because Ingrid seems shy and fragile, plus he believes in Hannah, he decided that it was his time to go, but it's fitting how Fergy decided to go out when he wanted to.
Once again, I apologize to Shadow and all the Fergy fans for eliminating him, I REALLY enjoyed writing him and he'll be in the Aftermath for this season so luckily this won't be the last of The Dorky Simp!
Now, you all know what time it is...DISCORD SERVER SELF PROMOTION!: discord . gg / MJ8qF9v (Without the spaces, of course) The server is called "Time, Fire, and War"
Admittingly, I think the challenge was the weakest part of the chapter, although I think that says a lot about the characters that the story of them (especially Fergy) was able to make this chapter one of my favorites to write so far this season despite the challenge! Now, let's discuss the Question of the Day!:
(For the people with OCs): What do you think of the new teams so far?
(For the people without OCs): What were your opinions on Fergy and how do you feel about his elimination?
Now, I'd call this the saddest chapter yet, however that's just me, I know whichever chapter is and will be the saddest will depend on your attachment to specific characters, so remember, if you like a character...be prepared in case if they are eliminated. And now I shall-
PEACE OUT!
