Episode 26: Road To the Finals
THE NEW CHAPTER! THE NEW CHAPTER IS REAL!
(Can we get much higher, do hiiiiggggh)
NondescriptNorbert: Thank you. They may be fictional, but they deserve a breather every now and again. Especially after helping save the world. That team was honestly built differently, even if they were the most oddball of the three. Joe's time ends here, and I think it's perfect for him.
Superwheeltires: Ohohoho, I've got some surprises for you then.
1602jaw : Hey, I love me some history as well. Sometimes a more simple and down to earth chapter is just what we need. Good guesses on the guests, but you'll still enjoy who they are.
thenewsubwayguy: Chris had it coming. And from the least suspecting person, no less. I like your guesses for the guests, but they actually fit a theme, along with Gura.
eo5494: I'm loving the enthusiasm. These guys are in for a fun one today. Joe went out like a total Chad.
That guy: Welp, you figured it out. holoMyth is nothing to joke about. They're tough.
Happiness studios: Don't worry. I'll try and do more with them in the next story. Things just got a bit crazy.
mistyagami: True. Joe actually has the honor of being the only one thus far. He should hold his head high
Monkeybot54: Thanks, my good man. These last couple of chapters have been utterly insane. I really think I outdid myself with the battle against Gjira. Ed had a crazy journey, and Joe had a great arc and sendoff.
Now then, let's see if we can get much higher. (So high). You know what I mean.

"Last time on Total Drama Infinite 2, we went to Kyoto, Japan's cultural capital. The contestants endured a game show that tested their intelligence, pain tolerance, and even gag reflexes. While Miu mostly handled the trivia with ease, everyone else struggled with the other challenges. Glass Joe in particular struggled more than the others, but decided to quit the game, feeling satis died with his own progress and fed up with expectations. Unfortunately, things weren't so good for yours truly, as he was punched by that boxer, and the plane blew up. Now, we're still in Japan, but by the end of today, we'll have our final two. Find out who that will be today on Total Drama Infinite 2!"
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
It had been about a day and a half since the last challenge. Chris, his crew, and the contestants were all still in Kyoto. During this, they were able to check into a local hotel, while the competitors took the time to tour and see all Kyoto had to offer.
Meanwhile, Chris spent most of the time on the phone with the producers. While they didn't blame him for the explosion, it was a bit difficult for him while asking for assistance. They weren't too happy about Giovanni's death either, as they brought it up in the conversations. But again, they forgot that it wasn't the host's fault.
The final four were now chilling at the campsite they were at just before the plane exploded. While they enjoyed getting to see Kyoto, they were ready to leave and move on with the game.
"I'm freaking bored out of my mind!" Susie exclaimed. "When are we leaving?! How long does it take to recover from all this crud?!"
Her outburst startled the other three.
"Hey, at least it gave us some time to just relax." Terry brought up. "That's gotta count for something, right?"
"While we pass the time, I don't mind showing off some of my inventions." Miu suggested.
"Waluigi's not sure about that." Waluigi said with concern. "He can only imagine what things you come up with."
"Oh, pull your balls outta your purse, Walu-idiot." Miu said. She then takes out what appeared to be a small machine that looked like an arm with a boxing glove on the first. "I've only ever really shown this stuff off to Reg. Hope he's doing alright."
"What exactly is that thing?" Susie asked. "Some kinda device that trains you in boxing?"
Miu shakes her head. "Nope. It's my 'Auto Puncher That Punches You For Telling Terrible Dirty Jokes'!"
"Oh……" Terry said. "Why is the name so literal?"
"Who cares? Sometimes I'm too lazy to think of names. I'm constantly crankin' out new inventions! You can't expect me to name 'em all! I mean, do you name each of your little dudes after you blast 'em into a tissue?"
WHAM!
Miu grunted as the boxing glove suddenly shot up and punched her right in the stomach, and Waluigi laughed.
"Shoulda watched what you said, Miu!" Waluigi laughed.
"Laugh it up, you purple prick!" Miu snapped. "You won't be so high and mighty once I win that million dollars!"
"You mean when I win it." Susie said.
Terry just grins as he watches the three of them bicker like children.
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
"It's really hard to believe it." Terry said in the ruined confessional. "The four of us were on the same team for a long time. And now we're the only ones left. Sure, we get on each other's nerves at times, but who doesn't? Deep down, there's still a lot of unspoken respect and camaraderie between us. Bottom line, I'm glad it's these guys I'm up against."
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
"Regardless of who wins," Terry interrupted. "I think I speak for us all when I say that we've all played a good game."
"Fair point." Susie said. "I didn't get here by sitting around and doing nothing. We put in real work."
"That's an understatement." Waluigi sighed. "And all of that Gjira stuff didn't help either."
"But we finally put all of that shit behind us." Miu brought up. "We helped bring down the most powerful and ruthless tyrant the universe has ever seen."
It was then that Chris and Chef finally came back, and weirdly enough, Gura was with him.
"So, are we getting out of here yet or what?" Susie asked.
"Worry not, Susie." Chris explained. "Help is on the way. I managed to snag us a small private jet to get us to where we need to go next. And trust me, if it wasn't for my natural charisma, we'd be waiting here much longer."
"Okay….." Miu said. She points at Gura. "Then what's with Chum Head over here?"
"Gura has a small role to play in the next challenge. The other interns found their own way out. But you'll be seeing them again soon. Today, it's time for some mythical fun."
The contestants looked at each other in confusion.
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
Not too long after that, everyone found themselves chilling on a private jet to the next stop. It was smaller than the plane they used before, but boy was it more snazzy.
"Waluigi could get used to this." Waluigi sighed with content as he kicked back in his reclining seat. "Of course, once he wins the money he can make that dream a reality for him and Isabelle."
"That cash is so close I can almost taste it." Susie said.
Suddenly, the lights in the room go dark, to everyone's surprise.
"C'mon, man!" Susie complained. "At least let us get really comfy before you start pulling some stupid crap!"
Four small TV screens open up from the ceiling and blares on in each of their faces.
"Just giving all of you a little educational lesson on what you're up against today!" Chris said over the P.A.
A logo flashes on the screen. An unusual one they had never seen before. It appeared to be an amalgamation of different objects: a flaming sword, a trident, a magnifying glass with a moustache, scythes, and tentacles. In the center, the word "MYTH" was vertically displayed.
They listen closely as a message is spoke.
"Who are holoMyth?" A female yet computer-like voice asked. "They are a group of five mythical and powerful women, as well as the first generation of Hololive English's V-tubers.
A picture of Gura shows up on the screen.
"First, there's Gawr Gura. The most recognizable one of the quintet. She's a shark girl that hails from the ancient civilization of Atlantis. Big hearted but bone headed, she's a bit of a prankster, and loves karaoke, rhythm and horror games, and is hydrodynamic. We swear, there's a reason she's flat."
After this, we see a woman the cast has never seen before. She was a blond woman dressed in a Sherlock Holmes-esque outfit, coat, and hat. with her, she carried a stethoscope, a watch around her neck, and syringes strapped to her thigh.
"Next, we have Amelia Watson. A time traveling detective who's known to fool around with different timelines, as she's not the only Ame out there. She's as sweet as she is salty, being a very toxic and salty gamer that's not afraid to trash talk or rage out. She loves puzzle games and first person shooters. She's also the queen of ground pounding people's mothers. Don't ask."
After that, another woman was shown. She had long pink hair, wearing black fitting outfit, a small crown on her head, carrying a scythe.
"This is Mori Calliope . She is the apprentice to the Grim Reaper himself. A reaping workaholic that's the most mature of the bunch. While she loves gaming, and drinking, she's known for her rapping and musical talent, actually being signed to a record deal. You can also call her Dad if you want."
Up next, another woman was shown. She had bright orange hair with bits of blue in there. She wears a vibrant orange and white uniform, with two hats on her head, one of which looked like a small chef's hat.
"Takanashi Kiara is up next. She's a Phoenix, and very extroverted and energetic. While excitable, her temper is as fiery as her flames. While she's a gamer who loves JRPGs, she owns a business. She's known for her fast food chain, Kiara Fried Phoenix, or KFP for short. With her, she has her employees who are chickens, who pay her to work for her. It's not a cult, we swear."
The final member was shown. She was a woman with octopus tentacles behind her. Her hair was dark purple and squishy, with two little flaps on the top. She wears a dark purple dress with sandals. With her, she carried an archaic looking book.
"Lastly, we have Ninomae Ina'nis. She is a priestess that came in contact with the Ancient Ones, making her what she is now. Unlike Kiara, she's very relaxed, laid back, down to earth, and chill. While she makes plenty of bad puns, she's a talented artist. Just don't upset her, or she'll go from chill tako to Eldritch monster and bonk you."
Suddenly, the lights turn back on as the screens retract back into the ceiling.
"Anybody else confused about what we just saw?" Waluigi asked.
"All I saw were colorful anime girls." Miu answered.
"Something about a V-Tuber group Gura is a part of…." Terry adds.
"You're both right." Chris said as he walked into the room. "V-Tubers are big, and Hololive has the most iconic lineup of them even outside of holoMyth. We're about to land, so get ready. I'll explain the rest shortly."
Not too long after this, the plane lands on a familiar looking beach. When they get off, it was Susie that was the one to recognize it.
"Hey, wait a minute!" Susie exclaimed. "This is the island from last season! What the heck are we doing here?!"
"So this is the island, huh?" Terry said. "Figures you'd remember it, Susie. The rest of us weren't here last time."
"That's right. Wawanakwa 2." Chris affirmed. "Interestingly enough, that wasn't the island's name when I bought it. The people I bought it from were……..interesting, to say the least."
"Yeah, having an underground prison/maze will do that." Susie remarks.
"There was more than the prison, but the Mantle family didn't specify what else they had besides the prison and their manor."
"Is it just me, or does this island look bigger than last time?" Susie asked.
"Good question, and yes it is. We're doing a little renovating for next season. Got big plans for it."
"Well, count me out of next season!"
"Can we get back to the fucking point?!" Miu asked impatiently. "What are we doing here, and what does it have to do with V-Tubers?!"
"I was just getting to that." Chris explains. "We've got two challenges today, and one of them takes place here. By the end of the episode, we'll be knocking two of you out of the game."
The four of them all gasp.
"So you mean, by the end of this, two of us will be in the finals?!" Waluigi asked.
"Correct. Which makes today's episode the semifinals."
"So it's all come down to today." Terry mutters.
"As for the first challenge, here's how it's gonna go down. Remember that video you all watched on the way here? About holoMyth?"
"Yeah?"
"Each of my friends are scattered across the island." Gura explained. "You'll pick which one you must go after. Find them, and you'll see they each have a key with them. Take the key from them, and report back here."
"And the first three to get back here move on to the next part, while the one in last is out of the competition." Chris finishes.
"So, we just have to not be last." Susie said.
"Sounds simple enough, but what's the catch?" Terry asked.
"They're not gonna make it easy for you four." Gura explained. "We are a group of mythical beings, with power beyond what you can comprehend."
" But we insisted they dial back their power so you guys have a fair shot." Chris adds. "Realistically, Ina and Calli would destroy us all at their strongest. They're no Gjira, but you'll be given a fair and decent challenge."
Gura holds out a small bucket with slips of paper in it.
"Step right up and pick a V-Tuber! Who you get is who you must go after!"
One by one, they each grab a slip of paper out of the bucket.
"So, who'd you all get?" Gura asked.
"I got Amelia Watson." Miu answered.
"Ina." Waluigi said.
"Kiara." Susie said.
"Which leaves me with Calli." Terry adds.
"Good, now you know who your targets are." Chris said. He then hands each of them a small map. "The four of them are scattered across the island. On each map, you'll see an X where they're located. To reiterate, you must go find them, get the key they're holding onto, and get back here. And remember, the last one back is out of the game. Your challenge starts now!"
Chris sounds off an air horn, and the four run off in different directions to find the other members of holoMyth.
"Wanna make any bets?" Chris asked.
"I'll take a piece of that action." Gura says. "Ten bucks that either Miu or Susie get back first."
"You're on."
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
(Waluigi)
Our purple cheater ran as he looked at his map.
"Should be right around here." He said as he looked at the mess hall. "Guess this Ina chick is in here."
Very slowly, Waluigi nervously opened the door, fearing Ina and the terror that lay before him. And when he stepped inside…..
Things were actually very quiet. Weird, but very quiet and almost….. relaxed.
All around the room, there were these small chibi looking octopus creatures minding their business and munching on cookies. (Whatever they are, it seems like they raided the pantry.)
"What the heck are these things?" Waluigi wondered as his eyes scanned the room.
Finally, he found Ina in the middle of the hall, sleeping on the floor, still surrounded by the little octopus creatures. She looked so peaceful as she slept there.
This eased Waluigi's nerves, and he tiptoes over to Ina and lightly taps her shoulder.
"Uh…….. octopus girl." Waluigi said. "Do you think you could wake up please?"
The priestess' eyes flutter open as she wakes up. She yawns and stretches, still not realizing Waluigi was there.
"Excuse me." Waluigi said with a bit of impatience. "Waluigi's right here, you know."
Ina finally, FINALLY, notices him. Upon seeing him, Ina smiles and says one thing.
"Wah."
"Hey! That's Waluigi's catchphrase!" Waluigi exclaimed.
"Good morning, afternoon, evening." Ina said calmly. "I don't know what time of day it is at the moment."
"It's the afternoon. Anyway, you're Ina right? And what are these little creatures?"
"Yes, that's me." Ina answered. "And these are my takodachis. They're creatures of the void that can take any shape they choose. I just love them like this. Since you're here, I assume you're after the key I hold?"
She reveals a small key on a chain around her neck.
"Yes, that's the one!" Waluigi happily cried. "Now, if you'd be so kind as to give that to Waluigi, he'll be on his merry way!"
"Hold on there, pal." Ina said, starting to sound more serious than the serene vibe she gave off moments ago. "I can't just give It to you like that."
"Don't tell Waluigi he has to fight you for it." Waluigi groaned.
Ina shakes her head. "No. No matter how much I held back, I'd accidentally kill you. So I'm gonna give you a test."
"A test?"
"Yes."
Some takodachis bring out a paint canvas, paint, and paintbrushes.
"I like art." Ina said. "I don't mean to brag, but I'm very good at it. So I want to see your artistic talent, or lack thereof. I want you to paint a caricature of me. If I like what I see, I'll give you the key, no questions asked."
Waluigi was utterly stunned. "Wait, that's it?!"
Ina nods. "Yep. And don't be afraid to get creative. For now, I'm gonna go back to sleep. Good luck."
Waluigi laughs as he grabs a paintbrush. "All right, tako girl! Waluigi's gonna make a caricature so good it'll knock your tentacles off!"
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
(Terry)
Terry made a rush for the amphitheater, which was marked on his map. The closer he got to it, he could hear heavy metal music and cheers, as if it were a concert.
"What the heck is going on?" Terry asked himself.
When he finally got there, it made more sense. Calli was up on stage, rapping, while a bunch of skeletons sat in the audience applauding the reaper. The music was extremely loud, coming out of two large speakers on stage, larger than an average person.
"Whoa! This lady has some edge to her!" Terry said while plugging his ears.
A minute later, the music stopped, and Calli bowed to the audience. During this, she notices Terry.
"What is up, my dude?" Calli asked. "Finally made it, I see."
"Yep." Terry says. He runs up on stage, and tips his hat cordially. "Terry Bogard, miss. I assume you're Mori Calliope?"
"Yep. Just call me Calli for short."
Terry grins and cracks his knuckles. "That's all I needed to hear. So let's duke it out right here and now. You have something I need."
"Yeah, no." Calli told him. "We're not just gonna fight."
"What?! Then what the heck?!"
Calli grabs a microphone, and tosses it over at Terry.
"Oh?"
Calli smirks. "We're gonna rap."
"What?! But I'm a fighter, not a singer!"
"Well, Watson wasn't much of a singer either, but she's improved so much in a short time. All I ask is that you rap a duet with me. Do a good enough job, and I'll give you the key. WHAT DO YOU SAY, DEADBEATS?!"
The skeletons in the bleachers all sound off a cheer of approval.
"Well, if we're gonna do this your way, then I guess I shouldn't complain." Terry said confidently. "Alright, lady. If it's a rap battle you want, that's what you're gonna get."
"Awesome."
Calli snaps her fingers, and suddenly her, Terry, and the stage appear to be in a more anime-like art style, akin to something like Studio Trigger.
"What the-what the hell is going on now?!" Terry exclaimed.
"Hey, if we're gonna rap, better we look the part." Calli explained. "It's a Rap Battle."
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
(Miu)
Miu walked around the forest, following the mysterious sound of gunfire.
"The duck's going on around here?!" Miu complained. "That Watson bitch is supposed to be around here somewhere! And what's with all of this damn gunfire?!"
Just then, she heard barking, like from a dog.
"This island is like something out of a fuckin' cartoon." Miu groaned as she followed the barking.
Finally, she found Watson, sitting under a tree. She was petting a dog, a jagdterrier, to be specific. The dog had a little Sherlock Holmes hat with a moustache on top.
"Is she scaring you, Bubba?" Watson asked the dog.
Bubba, the dog, just groaned.
"Hey, I'm not scary!" Miu said as she ran up to Watson. "I'm just doing a challenge! Now give me your key!"
"Oh, sure." Watson said suspiciously. "As long as you do me a little favor."
"What, suck you off for a Scooby Snack?! I'm in a hurry here!"
"I just need you to deal with a little "pest" problem." Watson explains.
"What kinda pest?"
"REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!"
An almost gremlin-like screech pierced through the air as someone burst onto the scene from the bushes. It looked like Watson, but it was smaller, and more chibi like. It also didn't help that she was armed with an AK-47.
"Heh heh, get ground pounded, noob!" The person cackled.
"That's what Bubba was scared of." Watson said. "That's another Ame: Smol Ame. Take her down, and I'll give you the key."
Smol Ame opens fire and Miu hides for cover behind a tree.
"Goddamn it!" Miu yelled. "Why the fuck am I the one that gets the short end of the stick?!"
Smol Ame drops down in front of her, and Miu runs for her life as the gremlin chases her down.
"Like I said, the others have it much easier!"
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
(Susie)
The monster teen breathes heavily as she walks up a large hill. Up top, was the cliff where they had their cliff diving challenge at the beginning of last season.
"I forgot……. how much of a……..pain it was to walk up here."
Finally, she made it to the top of the hill. Rather than how it looked last time, there was a little makeshift fast food kitchen up there.
Little chickens in orange uniforms were walking around, preparing and packaging up food. Kiara could be seen, scolding a chicken as it shook in fear.
"You little shit!" Kiara snapped. "If you forget the lettuce on the burger one more time, I'm going to fire you! And by that, I mean send you to the Usual Room! And you don't want that, do you?!"
The chicken frantically shook its head.
"Good." Kiara said sweetly. "NOW GET BACK TO WORK!"
The chicken runs back to his job, as Susie casually walks up to Kiara and taps her on the shoulder.
"You rule with quite the iron fist, don't ya?" Susie remarked.
Kiara turned to look at Susie, and greeted her happily.
"Kikkeriki! Welcome to KFP, how can I help you today? Will you be dining in or is it to go?"
"Uh, no." Susie said awkwardly. "I'm not here to eat. I'm part of a challenge here. You have something I want. Why do you have a little restaurant up here, anyway?"
"Oh, so you're the one I was told to look out for." Kiara said as she finally pieced it all together. "As for your question, I was gonna set this up in the dining hall, but Ina called dibs on it first, so I had to improvise."
"Alright, so……can you give the key, already? It was a pain already getting up here."
"If you do me a small favor." Kiara said coyly.
"Aw, nuts. What is it this time?!"
"You see, I'm making a very special dinner for Gura and the rest of my friends later. A special KFP dinner. But I'm low on……. ingredients."
"Fine." Susie groaned. "What are the ingredients you need, and where can I find them?"
Kiara gestures to her chicken employees. "They're right here."
Susie's jaw dropped when she realized what the phoenix meant.
"You want me to kill your employees?!"
"Yes. It's totally fine. They're just chickens. I can always hire more. So take out your little ax and hack them up. Do it for the fried chicken! Ikuzo!"
The chickens all gasp and shudder in fear.
"But tenchou…….why?!" One of them cried.
"Nothing personal." Kiara kindly told them. "It's the circle of life."
"This lady's something." Susie thought. At least she wasn't killing a person and rather just poultry. She takes out her ax and grins wickedly at the chickens. They all scream and scatter.
"Then you better share some chicken with me, too!"
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
Moving back to Waluigi, the cheater was having a hard time painting a good caricature. It all came down to the fact he sucked at art, and that Ina was a tough critic.
We see a montage of Waluigi making a new caricature, waking Ina up, she disapproves of it, and goes back to sleep so that Waluigi can start all over again. After five tries, he still didn't get the Tako Seal of Approval.
"Awwwww, Waluigi thought he outdid himself with this one!" Waluigi cried. He looked at his most recent attempt. It was a simple painting of Ina as the monster Cthulhu.
"This is hopeless!" Waluigi threw his latest painting on the ground. "Waluigi's never gonna win at this rate! Unless….."
The tennis player gets a shady idea. He looks at Ina, still sound asleep. He sees the key around her neck.
"Waluigi can just do what he does best." He says quietly. "Cheat."
He goes to grab the necklace, but quickly stops himself. He looks around at all of the takodachis. They were still eating cookies, and minding their business.
"Should be safe. Just gotta be quick."
Carefully, he pulls something from under his hat.
A pair of scissors.
Crouching down, he quietly tries to cut the key off the chain. The anxiety couldn't have been any higher for him.
"Carefully…….. carefully."
Snip!
"Haha!" Waluigi said triumphantly with the key in hand. "Waluigi is number one!"
His shouting caused Ina to jolt awake, and Waluigi panics.
Quickly, he runs out of there and back to Chris.
Ina runs her eyes drowsily as she sees him run off.
"Oh……he's gone." Her smile turned to a frown. He's gonna regret that later."
And the Tako went back to sleep.
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
We then move back to Terry and Calli, as they engage in singing a rap duet.
(I know, it's been so long since we've had a musical number. The song this time is one Calli and Gura made called "Q")
Terry looks at the lyrics karaoke style as he starts it off. An action packed tempo kicks off
Terry: No matter whether I'm selfish
You know what, 'cause I'm special
Ara ara, you cry
How cute, maybe I wanna bite you
Calli: Toss out the attitude, sir where's your thought and gratitude
We're mad at you! So grab a few defenses, you'll be glad you're screwed
Would I fight with you? Wouldn't waste my time
The mood's right so this go-around the honor's all mine
No place to run, don't you ever hide
Only time I wanna see you down is on ya knees, at my side!!
Terry: What is going on?
(We ARE the QUEEN)
What is going on?
I'll make you understand
If you against us, I'll give you painful- (pain)
Painful- (pain)
Painful prize!
The two charge at each other and fight, Dragon Ball Z style. Fists fly from Terry as Calli fights back with her scythe.
Calli: Don't bitе the hand that feeds you if it's holding a knife
Still gotcha tongue tiеd? Guess you better gimme your life
Both: Shout YES if you get it!
The two stop fighting for a second, and continue to sing.
Terry: Ah, wanna broke 'em
Wanna get 'em
Drivin' you crazy in a sweet lips
Rawr! Gonna eat you!
See, you'll be bashed up like that
So beg for mercy over and over!
Calli: Give you a "kiss" tonight, that "prey" you're stalking's got bite
Talkin' shit? You only exist to get pissed and fight
Slow brain, no shame, what'chu gotta say now?
Tired of the ones that were running the game?
Now there's no escape, you ain't the boss of us
There's no caution tape for the monstrous
It's over... for you
Terry: What is going on?
(We ARE the QUEEN)
What is going on?
I'll make you understand
If you against us, I'll give you painful- (pain)
Painful- (pain)
Painful prize!
The two then proceeded to fight yet again, throwing out attacks back and forth.
Don't bite the hand that feeds you if it's holding a knife
Still gotcha tongue tied? Guess you better gimme your life
Suddenly, the two find themselves surrounded by Deadbeat skeletons, who plan to attack them. (For some unknown reason.)
Terry: What is going on?
(We ARE the QUEEN)
What is going on?
I'll make you understand
If you against us, I'll give you painful- (pain)
Painful- (pain)
Painful prize!
The two stand back to back, and work together to fight back against the undead.
Calli: Don't bite the hand that feeds you if it's holding a knife
Still gotcha tongue tied? Guess you better gimme your life
You're on the wrong side, isn't that the same way you died?
It's been a long ride, we'll reclaim the queendom tonight
Both: Shout YES if you get it!
The two stare at each other proudly. Calli tosses the key to Terry and he catches it. The two fist bump as he then leaves as the song finishes.
Both: No matter whether I'm selfish
You know what, 'cause I'm special
Ara ara, you cry
How cute, maybe I wanna bite you
And now that Terry completed his task, let's see how the others are doing.
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
Miu stood behind a tree, waiting for Smol Ame.
"This better work, you ground pounding son of a bitch." She muttered.
She remembered what was explained about Watson on the jet, so Smol Ame must be very much similar. So, she decided to set up a trap.
Miu wrote "Your Mom" on a little sign and placed it on the ground. She ground pounds people's mother's so she's sure to go for it. Beneath the sign was a net underneath a pile of leaves, ready to trap her when she triggered it.
"If it works in Looney Tunes, it better work here."
She goes quiet as she hears someone approaching. Showtime.
We see Smol Ame, gun in hand and ready to pump Miu full of lead. Luckily, she catches sight of the sign Miu set up.
"Hehehehehe. Gimme gimme gimme!"
She jumps into the air to ground pound the sign, but as soon as she hits the ground, the trap is triggered. The net rises from the ground and traps Smol Ame, suspending her in the air. In the chaos, she drops her gun. The alternate Ame reees and screeches as she struggles to break free.
"Ultimate Inventor 1, Ground Pounder 0!" Miu cackled. She proceeds to stomp on and break the gun with her boots.
Bubba runs up to Miu, looking very pleased.
"It's okay, boy." Miu tells the dog as she pets him. "The mean gremlin is dealt with."
She then noticed something in Bubba's mouth.
The key!
And…..a note?
Miu takes the key and puts it in her pocket. She opens the note and gasps from the message:
We'll be back!
"That's it! I'm getting the fuck outta here!"

After so much work, Susie finally finished beheading all of the chickens. She had all of the bodies gathered in one sack.
"Here ya go, lady!" Susie drops the sack in front of Kiara. "I slaughtered your entire workforce. Can I have my key now?"
"You did a real bang up job!" Kiara told her. "Dinner's gonna be great tonight. And don't worry about the employees, they're replaceable. Here ya go, and thanks again."
She hands Susie the key, and the phoenix disappears in a puff of flames.
"Welp, that was weird, but whatever. Got what I wanted."
With that, Susie begins to run down the large hill. All four of them were racing to get back to Chris and not be last.
Running downhill gave Susie quite the speed boost.
"Hah! I'll get there before the rest of the-OW!"
Susie cries out as she trips and falls.
"Crap, my ankle!" Susie cried as she clutched her foot in pain. "Of all the times, for-huh?"
Susie stopped when she got a look at what tripped her up. It was some sign sticking out of the ground. Almost as if it was trying to be buried.
She scoots over to the mysterious sign and pulls it out of the ground. Getting a better look at it, it was a colorful red advertisement that read…
"... Playtime Co.? What the hell is Playtime Co., And why is it here? What the hell is up with this island?"
Her thoughts on this sign disappeared as soon as she remembered what she was trying to do.
"Oh crap! The challenge!"
She gets up, and winces at the pain in her ankle. She limps as fast as she can back to Chris.
"Can't be last! Can't be last! Can't be last!" She cried.
But as soon as Susie gets back to the beach….
….She is shocked to find that Waluigi, Terry, and Miu were already there.
Susie dropped to the ground in shame.
"No! I lost?!"
"Yep." Chris answered. "Waluigi got here first. Then Terry, and then Miu. Sorry Susie. You're out. Which means these guys move to the next part."
"...Darn. I killed a bunch of chickens for nothing. Well, good game, I guess."
"You did great, Susie." Terry assured her. "Don't ever think otherwise."
This made Susie fell a little better, until Gura bonked her on the head with her trident.
"Hey! What's the big idea?!"
"You owe me ten bucks, shrimp." Gura pouts.
"I guess I can take fourth place." Susie said as she felt the newly made bump on her head.
"With that out of the way, we can now move on to the next challenge." Chris said. "Everyone, back on the plane. Susie, that includes you."
"Hey, at least you're not leaving me stranded here." Susie remarks. "Though I wish I could stay for that chicken feast."

With that finished, they all boarded the private plane again, and rested up before their next stop. Wherever it was, by the time it was over, Waluigi, Miu, or Terry would be in the final two. The three of them remained quiet and nervous as they approached their next stop. The anticipation couldn't be higher.

(Playas de Tijuana)
A few hours later, the plane landed in the city of Tijuana. Chris guided them to the beach, where people were going about their day. They were take to the docks where three speed boats lay. Each one had a flag on it with a different logo on each: A wrench, a star, and an upside down L.
"Here in Tijuana, is where the next race kicks off." Chris explained. "Ahead of you lies the Pacific Ocean, and your final destination: Hawaii."
"Sounds familiar." Terry said.
"You will each use your designated boat to get to Hawaii. The first two to arrive will be in the finale. While last place gets squat. Are we clear? Your challenge is simple, yet the stakes couldn't be higher."
The three of them nod.
"Good. Now, we've also put out arrows on the ocean to direct you the right way.
"Waluigi ain't scared! Bring it on!" Waluigi declared.
"If you say so. The challenge starts now. Good luck!"
The three of them bolt for their boats, and Terry and Waluigi get their engines started, riding off into the ocean.
Miu, however, was still at the dock, and decided to open the engine and worked on it with a wrench.
"Kazuichi ain't the only one that can do this shit!" She said,
Once she felt satisfied, she closed it up and started up the engine. It roared violently as flames erupted from the back.
"Booyah! This'll give me the boost I need! Hi-ho Silver, away!"
The boat sails fast, and I mean really fast. Fast enough to create a sonic boom.
Meanwhile, Terry and Waluigi were nearly neck and neck as the rode the open ocean.
"What's wrong, Terry?" Waluigi taunts. "You scared?"
"No way!" Terry claps back. "That must be you!"
The two were interrupted as Miu blitzed past the both of them, and soaking them as she flew by.
"Was that……. Miu?!" Waluigi wondered.
"Must've tricked out her boat." Terry guessed. "I don't have the brains to do that."
(Much Later…)
We now transition to the beaches of Hawaii. There, Chris, the interns, and all of the contestants from Infinite 1 and 2 were there, waiting for them to show up.
"Hold on, I think I see someone coming!" Meggy said, making out a shape in the horizon.
"Let me see…." Tari said, looking through a pair of binoculars. "... It's Miu!"
"WHAT?!" They all exclaimed.
"Let me see…" Katakuri said, taking a hold of the binoculars. "It is! And she's coming in fast!"
"Noooooooo!" Coyle cried. (She appeared to make a full recovery by now.) She dropped to her knees and pounded the ground in anger. "She's not supposed to win! I wanna see her lose!"
"Guess it sucks to be you right now." Sora jokes.
"Hey, good for her." Deadpool said. "I'm honestly glad the only ones left were my teammates."
Miu sees everyone at the beach, and is relieved.
"Finale, here I come! Now, to stop this and…….uh-oh."
"Uh…….I think she's coming in too quickly." 18 said worriedly.
Indeed, as Miu was going so fast, she could crash into somet. Or someone.
"Miu, hit the brakes!" Charlie yelled.
Miu was going so fast that the force made it hard for her to reach for the brakes. With all her might, she manages to reach the brake. She pulls it down, and the boat stops suddenly, launching her out of her seat.
Miu screams as she flies towards everyone. She lands in the sand, well, her head does; stuck in the sand like an ostrich.
"Congratulations, Miu!" Chris congratulated. "You've earned the first spot in the finale!"
Miu's muffled screams could be heard as she struggled to get her head free.
"I got this." Spinel said. She grabs Miu by the legs and pulls her out.
She gags, coughing out sand, but then realized something.
"Wait…..I won, right?"
"You sure did." Edgeworth answered. "Or at the very least, earned the first spot in the finals."
"Oh. Nice."
"I have to admit, I had my doubts about you." Katakuri told her. "But you've come so far and faced so much that I'm impressed."
"Guess that means I'll either be up against Terry or Waluigi in the finale."
"Speaking of which, where the hell is Terry?!" Aqua complained. "He better not lose after coming this far!"
"Come on, Waluigi," Isabelle muttered. "You can do this."
"Guys, there's another boat incoming!" Iida called.
"No, wait! I see two!" Wendy adds.
They could now see Waluigi and Terry coming in, both still neck and neck.
Cheers could be heard for the both of them.l from everyone.
"Come on, Terry!"
"You got this, Waluigi!"
"Victory is Waluigi's!" Waluigi declared.
"Crap, I can't be running out of gas!" Terry said, looking at his fuel gauge.
"Looks like the victory is going to go to Waluigi!" Chris said. "Unless a miracle comes for Terry, he's done!"
The water began to shake violently as something huge emerged from the water, and in turn, blocked Waluigi and Terry's way.
"What the heck is that?!" Russel cried.
"Oh nyo." Gura said. "It's Ina."
"What?!"
In front of the two racers stood a massive sea monster that could be described as an eldritch, Lovecraftian, monster. It looked like a large takodachi, with glowing purple eyes, a monstrous mouth with thousands of fangs, more eyes on it's tentacles, and two little flaps on it's head. Almost like….
"...INA?!" Waluigi cried in fear.
"I told you you'd pay for cheating me!" Ina roared in a demonic reverb.
"What did you do?!" Terry asked. He too, feared for his life right here.
"Waluigi just stole the key off of her, that's all!" Waluigi defended.
Ina raises one tentacle above Waluigi, ready to bring it down like a hammer.
"She's gonna seriously hurt them!" Reg cried.
The tentacle comes down, slamming on top of the cheater. With Terry nearby, the force sent Terry flying out of the water and crashing on the beach.
"And there you have it!" Chris announced as Ina disappeared back into the ocean. "Terry is our other finalist! He and Miu will duke it out in the finale!"
"Wait…..I did it?" Terry asked.
"Sure did." Aqua said, picking him up. "You had me worried sick out there!"
"How was I supposed to know that Ina was on the warpath?"
"Regardless, way to go, Terry." Deadpool said.
Waluigi was pulled out of the water thanks to Gura. While he looked a bit banged, he was for the most part, okay.
"Sheesh, you ticked the wrong octopus off, Waluigi." Chris said. "But I gotta say, you played a good game. Unfortunately, the road ends here for you. But hey, third place is better than nothing."
Waluigi looked at Terry and Miu, and felt disappointed in himself.
"I lost……." He said glumly. "Waluigi gave it his all, and he still lost."
It was then that Isabelle came up to him and gave him a hug.
"Wah? Why are you doing this?! I lost!"
"Feel proud of how amazing you did." Isabelle told him. "Everyone else is, too. Besides, you'll always be a winner to me."
The two smiled at each other and joined the rest of the group.
"And with that, we have our two finalists!" Chris said to the audience. "Terry Bogard, and Miu Iruma! After everything they've been through, they've earned it! Next time, one of them will walk away a winner, and a million dollars richer! Who's it going to be?! Tune in next time for the exciting finale of Total Drama Infinite 2!"
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
I'm honestly excited. Words cannot describe how impressed I am with how far we've come with the story. After everything these guys have been through, we're down to the finale.
This chapter may have been a shorter one like last time, but we needed some shorter and more light-hearted episodes after the Gjira fiasco. And now, we only have one chapter left.
Terry vs Miu. Brawn vs Brain. I've had these two planned to square off in the finals for a while now. They've had one hell of a journey, individually, and as a team. And let's not forget to show some love for Susie and Waluigi. They both played great as well. But by this point, they served their purposes, and this felt like the right time to cut them loose.
Here's what's gonna go down in the next and final chapter. To start off, we've got a crazy gathering of people from other shows. That's right, the casts from Total Drama Everything, Cruise, and Endless are going to show up and watch the fun too. (Some of them will even get to help the finalists.)
We talk a little bit with the recently eliminated contestants, (and find out what happened when Edward talked to the Foundation), and some fun interactions between all of these groups. And that's only the first half of the episode.
There was going to be an aftermath before the finale, but I felt there wasn't enough content to do a whole separate aftermath episode, so I decided to slightly combine it and add it to the final chapter for this story.
After that, our finalists have one hell of a challenge ahead of them.
The goal: storm the castle and rescue their closest friend/loved one. But they'll have help. They'll have a small team of one person from each story to go with them and help. But what lies ahead of that, I can't spoil right now.
That's it for now. Let me know your thoughts and who you want to win. I'll be seeing you then. Until that time, this is MemeKing, signing off.
