Hello fellow Weird World readers. Seems it's been a while since I updated this ( Honestly, I can say the same with all my other fics ).
But let's not waste any time. Let's go through the reviews first, then we shall proceed with the main story.
Memeking the Third: Yep, expect tons of insanity coming from this chapter.
TheMasterKat: Yeah, it was sad to have them go. Then again, I didn't have much plan for him later on so, bleh.
NonedescriptNorbert: Your right. I'll admit, the very start wasn't that good. Hopefully this chapter improves on that here, as I did with Cruise. And I can't blame ya feeling uncomfortable around Captain Hero, knowing his personality and such.
Pepperino73: Thanks. Really appreciate the comment.
Poyopower678: Hope your excited for this chapter because it is going to be great.
Anyways, back to the show.
"Last time on Total Drama Weird World!" Imani recap, "With the arrival of some new campers, we set up a challenge to test their skill and mind, thanks to my new assistant, Dr. Killinger. Some were successful, others weren't so much. Regardless, despite new enemies forming and new friends making, the Powerful Porky claim victory, while the Blazing Badniks have to witness four of their contestants to be eliminated, along with an unfortunate child. So who will last longer for the next challenge. Find out today's episode of Total! Drama! Weird World!"
The sun beams down through the high trees of the forest.
The water flows, the birds chirp, and dirt and grass ground remain still without a disturbance.
Steam Lad was strolling through the forest. Despite him having no eyes or vision, the calmness and sound of the forest was the only thing that felt somewhat of an entertainment to him.
As he strolled, he stopped after hearing a stick break.
He felt a sinister presence near him. One he is certain is someone he knew would've take this opportunity.
Just then, he jumped outta away from the strike of a red lighting.
He landed back down, pulling out his sword to shine it to the perpetrator. His sword allows him to see things, but not too much.
It was Cherieng, obvious to him.
"Cherieng", Steam Lad lowering his sword, "Nice to see you taking my advice and having a little stroll".
"I'm not here for a stroll you fool '', Cherieng told him, "I'm here to kill you, right here and now".
"Riiight, as if killing me would get you out of any suspicions, especially if I'm gone. You know the rules here, Cherieng".
"Oh please, I can easily find a way to replace you!" She strikes another lighting at him.
He uses his sword to cut them in half.
Then he proceeded to pull a piece of paper out from his pocket and show it to her.
A paper sketch of two girl with a smile, which seems to startle her back.
She gasps and steps back, as Steam Lad continues to show it to her.
"Didn't think I brought this stuff here, huh?" Steam Lad asked, taunting her a little.
"How dare you bring that here!"
"I mean, that should've been pretty obvious from the start".
Cherieng shriek, "Arrrrgggghhhhaaaaaaaahhh!"
"Granted, I could've done that earlier if my memory didn't age well enough".
"Gggrrr! Curse you!" She disappear in a cloud of black smoke.
After she's gone, Steam Lad sighs in relief until Mabel crashes down on him from the trees.
He groaned, laying there.
"Sorry! Didn't see you there", Mabel apologizes, holding up what appears to be her camera. She quickly hid it behind her back.
"You were spying on me, right?"
"What? No, I was….uhhh….taking photos on…..penguins!"
"Penguins?"
"Yep! Penguins!" Mabel stated, getting off him, "And also Berbils".
"Oh, ummmm…..good for you I guess", Steam Lad replied, "Because I was kinda worry someone would be watching me.
"Come on, nobody is watching you", She replied, brushing off the fact she tried to spy on him, "Why would anybody want to do that".
"Yeeeaaah…anyways, I'm going to relax near a pond".
"Can I come?"
"Huh?"
"I mean, there's a pond around here?" Mabel retracted in an attempt to not sound awkward, "I didn't know there's a pond around here".
"You didn't know?
"Well this island is massive, you know. It going to be hard to stroll around and look for one".
"Uhh yeah.." Steam Lad replied, walking off to do his own thing, leaving Mabel smacking herself on the head.
"Darn! Shouldn't have made it too awkward".
000000000000000000000000000000000000000
"Ok, so acting like a legit creep may not be the best angle to get someone interested", Mabel confessed, "Maybe I need to go with a different approach. Oh! I know! I'll ask what his and Reg's interests are!"
0000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000
Somewhere else, Duncan had finished up setting his tent.
He sighs in pride, looking over his tent. Brushing his hands off as he stared at the sight in front of him, "Finish and perfect. I knew my old, bad boys program camp days would come in handy".
The tent itself was...not impressive.
It was barely a tent, with a patch of leaves poorly sticking together and one stick holding up it, which began to shake and fell apart.
He dropped his smile and said, "Ok, probably should've not used mud as a stand in for glue. Got it".
00000000000000000000000000000
"Soooo it's been like four days I've been here", Duncan confessed, "And overall, I was making some progress. Now the shelter wasn't working out how I imagined. I was thinking more of a palace, but that didn't work out. But ration, definitely working out for me. I literally got enough berries, mushrooms, and honey to survive the entire year. I know, I know, it may seem not enough, but trust me I've been through worse. Now trying to start a fire was easy. Trying to hunt for meat, not so much".
000000000000000000000000000000000000
Then all of a sudden, a tree fell upon him. It crushes into him, with his legs and hand being the only thing visible from the clearing, crooked and crackling as it appears.
But luckily, he still lives, by the utter of his word, "Ow".
The cause of the tree is the result of Radio Woman, skipping and swinging her sword around, all while holding a radio and singing to herself.
She chopped down one, two and three. All falling down by her.
Her speed of a swing was emitting a sketchy, vibrating, golden aura as she did so, then a huge electrical, crash sound.
It seems to come from herself and the radio.
"Nothing is more fun than using my ax and enjoying the sound of nature itself!" Radio Woman said to herself, then remembering Duncan groaning and wondering, thinking it connected to nature, "Was that nature sound I heard earlier?"
But she quickly shrugged, "Eh, probably not".
And then continuing onward. But suddenly, as she was swinging she felt something off.
She paused and looked at her palm, realizing she doesn't have her ax with her.
As well as her radio, causing the aura around her to disappear.
She turned around, looked up, and saw Sinestro, floating in the sky and using his ring to snatch her weapon away.
As for her things, they were inside a giant, yellow box.
To her delightful surprise, she greeted him, "Hello Sinestro! What a surprise to see you. I didn't think you would be around here. What brings you here?"
"Well I was meditating", Sinestro said, "until I was interrupted by your…ummm".
"Daily routine! Training! Yep", She replied, "Since I got nothing else to do, I thought maybe I should do some tree slicing. I mean, I have an ax and ax means punching".
"Chopping".
"Same thing". So what were you doing?"
"Seriously? I just answered your question before".
"Uhhh….you were sleeping?"
Sinestro sighs, mildly bothered by her odd personality.
Realizing now that it is the perfect time to improve on his team, starting with Radio Woman. After all, he is getting used to his new team members, and felt the need to take any opportunity in order to shape it for him to tolerate and gain some benefit.
He landed down, then approached her on the matter of her action, "Then if you don't mind, I would like to give you some advice".
"Uh huh? What kind of advice?" Radio Woman asked, curious, "Do you want me to cut down mountains and make them into trees, then chop them down again? Wait a second, why haven't I thought of that before?"
"Uhhh no", Sinestro told her, "I advise you to use less of your power while doing your training".
"Power what? My axe".
"No, your power from the radio. I seem to notice you carry that around. I presume it is your power source, correct?"
"Yes! It's also my way to identify myself as a radio!" Radio Woman stated.
"Yeah, whatever that means", Sinestro explained, "As I was saying, I sense some potential in your ability. While I appreciate that you continue to use your power in training, I do advise you to not waste it by just cutting down trains, randomly".
"Wasted? Like in, washing it?"
"No, I meant you should reserve your power for later. Using it now will just hinder it. Every source has a limit or at the very least, a setback, and I presume yours does".
"Mine doesn't have a setback", She shrugged, "It only gives me like a 4 hour limit of energy, until it disappears and recharges itself for about 9 hours".
"Which is what I meant", Sinestro told her.
"Ha! Your funny".
"Listen to me, I'm suggesting you should focus more on your physical and mental attributes, rather than your tools".
"Oh…I don't get it".
Sinestro pinch his forehead, out of simple frustration, "Oh god".
Then he tried to explain further, in an attempt to grasp her understanding a bit more, "Ok, well let me give you an example. You know what my ring is capable of, correct?"
"Uh huh", She responded, nodding her head.
"And you know that I'm….useful, right?"
"Yep!"
"Good. You see, my usefulness or rather, my strongest aspect doesn't come from simply my ring. It instead comes from my mind, my physical strength, and my will. So if you want to get strong".
"But I'm already strong".
"I mean, more stronger. Everyone has to ensure their strength is still active. You have to think stronger and be strong in your physical. I'm more useful and strong without my ring. You got that?"
Radio Woman thought about this, then came to a realization, "Oh, I get it.
0000000000000000000000
"In my attempt in making my team succeed, as well as for me to last longer into the game", Sinestro confessed, "I realize most of my team members aren't as smart as, let say Kate for example. So I need to find some ways to communicate my advice more efficiently. Radio Woman isn't the brightest, but she means well. She just needs a few more ticks in order for her to fully comprehend it".

At the cabins, Ratcliffe yawned and awoke from his slumber after taking a huge sleep on the top bunker.
He stretched his arm and made his way to his clothing, while B.W. Dee muffle and suffocate under the top bed, which seems to break down and trap him from Ratcliffe weight.
After he dresses up, he heads out of the cabin, where he is greeted by Red Skull.
"Ah, greeting my fellow man", Ratcliffe greets, looking at him with a smug smile while Red Skull just gives him a stern look, "I see you are fully patch up for today".
"Yes well, I am required to maintain my usual look to show the amount of threats I hold".
"Good, good, so what's been going up? Haven't seen any of our contestants around. Especially that annoying Waddle thing or whatever that abomination is called".
"Mmm, nothing usual. Just admiring the scenery", Red Skull replied, turning to the porch and staring down at Kate Alen, who was doing push ups, "Until it was ruined".
His eyes filled with disgust and hate, but Ratcliffe doesn't seem fazed by it.
He seemed merely annoyed, but not enough to express it. He replied, calmly and civilized, finding him somewhat tolerable, compared to the many colorful casts, "Ah yes, scenery. Very well, I'll be off doing my own schtick. If you need me, I'll be at the beach".
0000000000000000000000000000000000000000000
"My relationship with my team has been…so far, unpleasant", Red Skull confesses, "Firstly, I am not comfortable sleeping along with my teams, especially those that do not fit my criteria. I do not like taking orders from an inferior woman like….her. At the same time, I do not like being forced to be….polite to my fellow competitors".
00000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000
B.W. Dee ran out of the cabin.
He coughs and breathes heavily after being stuck under the bunk bed for god knows what.
"Ok..ok...should've not allowed him to choose which bunk to sleep on", he said.
He then notices Dororo sitting on the steps, looking unhappy in the situation.
"Hey Dororo, what's up?" B.W. Dee greets, "You seem...not happy as usual".
Dororo sighs to herself, telling him, "I'm not sure about myself, lately. I keep telling everyone that Sinestro is evil, and they just ignore it".
"Well, I mean...he did something to help us out yesterday".
"For his own gain".
"Come on, Dororo", B.W. Dee said, "Is he really that bad that you refuse to believe in him".
"He literally owns a construct ring, has an evil mustache, looks like a devil, and his name is similar to sinister".
"Okay that does sound like an obvious red flag, but still he did state he came here to redeem himself".
"Pff, still doubt that".
000000000000000000000000000000000
"There is no way he could possibly turn to a new leaf", Dororo stated, "I know him more than anyone else here. I know how he acts, I know what he can do, I even know what his least favorite color is. And yet, nobody is listening. Guess I didn't realize how smart he can be".
0000000000000000000000000000000000
Just then, they heard a huge commotion coming from the other team cabin. It came from the girls cabin, as the door slammed open, revealing to be Fia.
She ran out of the cabin, disgusted and startled, as she brushed off a sample of dirt, "Yuck! That damn mole man!"
"Hey, what's up with you?" Dororo asked her.
"Our new contestant, Mole", Fia replied, "Has been lately using some of our bed as his dirt collection, without any of us noticing".
"Really?" B.W. Dee asked, "And he does that because?"
"Because apparently, he claimed he needed more room. As if, I don't know, could use under the bed as more room. I swear to god, if I see him again, I'll make sure to add a new addition to his collection. His ashes".
000000000000000000000000
"Let me make it clearer", Fia confessed, "I am not taking a good liking with this new cast. All of them suck, and need to go. It doesn't help that none of them are worthy to join in an alliance with me. Yes, I'm going through with an alliance, what about it? It's not like I'm the only one doing just that".
000000000000000000000000
"Ok, by the look of it, some of them don't seem to like the newbies around here", B.W. Dee said, "But I like them. I don't find them that annoying or scary, or anything like that….well, except for maybe Captain Hero and Red Skull. Not sure if I find them pleasant".
000000000000000000000000
Right on cue, half of Mole's body managed to sprung out from the ground below, bringing out a crumble of dirt with him, "A splendid nap I endure! Truly a perfect spot to rest on. Although I'm curious what other area I rest at?"
"YOU FILTHY MOLE!" Fia took notice and shouted, rushing toward him with a furious expression, "Get your mortal a** back here!"
"Eek!" Mole gasps, as he digs himself back into the hole, escaping from her wrath.
Fia caught up to the hole. Despite seemingly being unable to get in there, she decided to use her flaming hands to shoot fire into it.
The fire did the work, resulting in the Mole sprunging out of there, all burning up.
Once he landed on the ground, he ran off to look for a pond all while still burning, "WATER! WATER! REQUIRE MOISTURE!"
He passed by Reg, relaxing under the tree shades. He got nothing much else to do, other than admiring the nature surrounding him.
He could interact with some of his fellow competitors, but he doesn't have much interest to say or if he did, he isn't sure if they would be interested.
Just when he is beginning to relax and ignore what is happening with Mole, Mabel jumpscare him from popping out of the leaf above him, upside down.
This startled Reg, to which she completely responded, "Hi Reggy!"
"Oh, it's you", Reg replied.
Mabel nodded, landing herself down to the ground, "Yep! Mabel Pine reporting to duty! Here to bring you all types of services!"
"Umm what?"
"Sorry, I'm just role playing with ya", Mabel said, "So got anything interesting you want to play?"
"Play?"
"Yeah like games, sport, telling each other personal secrets about their true lover".
"Wait what?"
"Ignore the last part!" Mabel said, getting up close to him, "So what do you want to do?"
"Umm I don't know. I've never known much about games and stuff. I don't really have that much interest".
"Come on, Reg", Mabel said, "You got to have something that really interests you".
"Do you got an interest?" Reg asked.
"Yeah! Great question to ask! I got loads of interest. I like candy, sugar, pop music, music that's all about sugar and candy, having fun".
"I see", Reg acknowledged, "I guess I could hang out and do whatever you like?"
Mabel gasps in excitement, asking in reassurement, "Really?"
"Sure".
She then gleefully screams to herself, then proceeds to grab his only hand and brings him along with her as she rushes toward somewhere, "This is wonderful! Don't worry, Reggy! You won't regret it".
"Umm why are you calling me Reggy?"
"Just a fun nickname I like to give out".
00000000000000000000000000000000
"Yes! I finally got him to hang out with me!" Mabel said, "Now I just need to find a way for Steamy to be interested in me. I wonder how I'm going to approach this?"

On the beach near the docks, Schmendrick was doing his usual thing.
Training. Or practicing his own magic tricks. All the while Guybrush is the spector.
In Front of Schmendrick was a table. On the table is an apple on a white plate.
"So what kind of magic trick are you going to perform?" Guybrush asked, "You going to turn this apple into a rabbit, a stool, or some kind of wild beast?"
"I'm going to duplicate it", Schmendrick replied.
"Duplicate it?"
"Yeah, duplicate it", Schmendrick explained, "I've already tried turning it into a beast. Sometimes it works, other times it doesn't. Last time I did one, it caught on fire and I have to pay for the damage I was renting".
"Oh dear. I mean, did you try again or-?"
"Did, and lots of them fail. Only a few I manage to pull off the trick. Though it doesn't last long, as it reverted back to normal real quick…..well, except for one time".
"Interesting. Say, you think this is going to work?"
"Heh, I hope so", Schmendrick then proceeds to raise his hands up, as he chants a few words, "Great offspring of mother nature herself! I request for you to make this apple into two! As identical as it is!"
Sparks of light came out of his hands, as it made direction to the apple. Instead of being duplicated into two, it instead cuts it into half, with the other half getting more and more rotting real quick, while the other remains the same.
This surprises Schmendrick, even disappointing him as he scratches his head out of confusion, "What the? I could've sworn I got the spell correctly".
"Maybe you won't…ummm, I don't know", Guybrush came to him, still glancing over the small disaster, "Specific enough".
"Or maybe I got the spells mixed up. God, I'm stupid!"
"Hey, hey, it's just a small accident. You'll improve".
"Yeah, not like the first billion times I heard that before".
"Come on, it's not a big deal", Guybrush assured him, pulling out his journal and pencil, as he began to write his remarks down.
"Wha-what are you writing?"
"Oh, just some…interesting stuff I'm writing down for preservation reasons", Guybrush explained, "You know, in case anyone reads my journal and is likely to publish it".
Just then, Ratcliffe came by behind them, greeting them in his own typical manner, "Greeting gentlemen, I see you two are enjoying yourselves on the beach".
"Well actually, we are more or less just preparing ourselves for the next challenge", Guybrush replied.
"I'm trying to perfect my magic", Schmendrick said.
"Really? And how is it going?" Ratcliffe asked.
"Uhhh….not good".
"Huh, how unfortunate", Ratcliffe said, casually and nonchalantly ignoring his failure real quickly, as he made his way to them, moving forward to what he's planning, "Now then, I'm going to get to the point. You see gentlemen, there is a huge crisis before us men".
"My magic?"
"No, well…yes, but! We are the only few men around here that do not possess any quims of dark, magical elements!"Ratcliffe stated, as he walked around them, forming gestures, all the while the two men simply watched, since they had nothing else to do.
"Technically I kinda possessed magic", Schmendrick mentioned.
"Exactly! That is the issue! Your magic isn't good enough!" He pointed, then directed it to Guybrush, "And you! You have nothing worthy to offer in our teams!"
"Hey, I'm offended. I do offer something", Guybrush stated, trying to defend his way, but ultimately he realized how much truth it likely came from that claim, "It just…I'm at a disadvantage here because I don't carry magic with me, I'm not a robot or some supernatural being".
"You are a pirate".
"Yeah, but…I'm not sure how much that contributes to anything".
"That's what I'm saying", He continued, approaching them, "Sooner or later, they are going to find some scapegoat to vote off and that will be us. Think about it, who are they going to keep much longer? The man with a mystical ring or some down to luck, swashbuckler…uhh, no offense".
"None…at all", Guybrush replied, once again succumbing to one of the unfortunate truths if he thinks about it.
"So that's why I'm offering you a deal", Ratcliffe explained, "We form our own alliance".
"How's…that going to work?" Schmendrick asked.
"Simple. We form our own pack, meaning we don't vote for each other", Ratcliffe explained, "Plus, we hold the power to decide whoever we want to get rid of. So for example, if the team want to get rid of that Max fellow but there are some unwilling to do so, two of you and I will be made up of the ones that do want to ensure he's gone".
"So in other words, it outnumbers the other votes", Guybrush said.
"Exactly".
"But there's only three of us. I'm not sure how that's going to outnumber them".
"Don't worry about it", Ratcliffe assured him, as he turned around, right about to leave, "It's all about ensuring that we stay in the game, boy. Just remain on my good side, and you'll get what I mean".
After he left, Schmendrick had some doubts about this, even asking Guybrush about it, "I'm not sure this seems like a good idea to ally ourselves with him".
"Yeah, gotta agree", Guybrush replied, "But at this rate, I'm not going to be denied an offer, if it means I could do something more interesting in my journal".
000000000000000000000000
"By the accounts I heard from these fools who watch this show", Ratcliffe confessed, "It seems the best option in remaining in the game is by forming secret alliances. As for how this works it would appear to be more of a way to gain the upper votes. Either that, or cause some sabotage inside or out. Either way, it's an idea I'm personally willing to take".

Somewhere else at a huge, deco mansion, Imani awoke from the bed, yawning and stooding half way up as the dreariness began to fade away.
He was in his shorts and tank top. As he stretched his arms up, then proceeded to head toward the bathroom, to much of his unawareness Dr. Killinger stood while he walked past him.
It wasn't until Killinger got his notice when he said, "Good morning, Imani".
This startled him, turning around and telling him, "What the hey, man?! "
"Apologize mister Imani", He said, holding up with his right arm to be a hanger containing the host's usual clothing, "But I have prepared your clothing for today's challenge".
He then proceeded to pull out from his left arm a plate of pancakes, "As well as breakfast".
"Oh, thanks", Imani said, grateful for his action, snatching both of them away from Killinger, "Didn't expect you to make these for me, but…I'm flatter".
"Don't be too flattered because today is challenge day. And I have set up a challenge that is right up their alley….well, some of them, of course".
This surprises Imani. It was one thing he prepared everything for the host such as his clothing and breakfast. But it was another when his partner set up a challenge already.
"Wait, you already set up a challenge? Just when?"
"Tonight, while you were sleeping".
"Man, you are one weird, amazing guy".
"No…your an amazing guy, mister Imani", He pointed, "And also, I advise you to check up on the severe, unexplained happening on this island. This may predictable be an issue later on".
While he mentioned it, Imani didn't pay attention. He was busy shoving the pancake down his throat, then almost choking it until he slammed his stomach where eventually he gain some breath.
"What did you say, again?"
"I said, you should check on the issue, but it would seem this will likely fall on deaf ears. Still a reminder, though".
"Okay, okay, I understand", Imani said to him, "Don't worry about it. I got everything under control".
"Somewhat doubt that".
At the mess hall, fewer contestants were there to hang out.
These include Lego Batman, Zenitsu, Chowder, Megaman, Sonic, Jules, Ruby, and Silence.
While Chowder was enjoying himself some chow inside a bowl of cereal, a scene is happening with Lego Batman being startled away by Zenitsu's sudden outburst.
He pulled out his sword all of a sudden and tried to strike him, much to everyone's shock, except for Jules.
"Whoa! What the heck, dude? Are you trying to slice me or what?" Lego Batman demanded, holding out two of his batarang.
Zenitsu, still holding his sword, was confused by his sudden action. He even responded to this by saying, "I-I don't know! It's like I'm not controlling my body here".
Suddenly he proceeds to swing his sword once more, missing him and striking it to the ground.
Megaman tried to step in and put a stop to it, telling Zenitsu, "Alright Zenitsu, you can stop playing or training or something right now. It's getting really worrying, man".
"I told you, I don't know what's going on here. I don't know why I'm doing this!"
"Maybe a demon is possessing him?"Sonic suggests, "I mean he does slay demons for a living. What possibility some demon has a vendetta against him and is now possessing him".
While this was going on as Zenitsu grip is being grabbed by Megaman to put an end to it while Lego Batman backed further away from him, Jules is seen to be doing some odd hand gestures, much to Ruby and Silence curiosity.
"What are you doing?" Ruby asked him, "Is this one of your special powers or something?"
"No", Jules replied, "Just a gimmick I'm borrowing it from. I'm using puppetry as a way to get rid of my boredom".
"And what kind of gimmick are you borrowing it from".
"Just...well, not a friend per say, but someone I know. Someone I wish was tolerable".
Zenitsu screams as he swings his blade once more, slicing his batarang into half, causing Megaman to let go.
"Ok man, you really need to stop this right now. You're going to get someone hurt".
"Again! I don't know what's got over me!"
"This is just getting weird", Lego Batman commented, "Then again, I saw much weirder things than this".
Sonic turned around and took notice of Jules' hand gestures, which he soon came to the conclusion that he's responsible for this, "Hey dude, might put a stop to this".
"Pff why? I'm just trying to have fun here".
"Yeah, but it's kinda making our new guest really uncomfortable right now, and we really don't want that".
"And also, how are you even doing it, anyways?" Chowder asked, stop eating from a bowl of cereal.
"As if I'm going to tell", Jules replied, "All you guys need to know is my supply of gimmicks are going to be useful later...well, except for one that I don't really want to talk about".
Before any further damage could be happening, Lisa enters the mess hall, confused by what's happening. She is carrying some notepads, pen, and some strategy book, presuming to meet with her team to discuss how to handle everything.
She asked Jules and the two girls, "What's going on here?"
"Oh, Jules is showing us one of his unique tricks", Ruby replied, "Isn't it cool?"
"Uhh yeah, mind putting an end to this", Lisa asked, "I don't think it is healthier to use...that, especially on one of our new teammates, if we are going to build a healthier relationship".
Jules sighs, both annoyed and reluctantly as he fully understands what she meant. He wanted to continue doing this, but knew someone would've been bothered by it anyways, "Fine. Would've brought some entertainment out of this".
He clenches his hand, causing Zenitsu to collapse on the ground on all four and gasping for air, "Thank god, it's over".
"So why are you here?" Silence asked Lisa Simpson.
"Why, that's a good question", Lisa replied, sitting next to them and putting her stuff down on the table, "I thought we could do some strategy planning or some self-improvement. You know, get to know each other, while also finding new ways we could win for the next challenge".
"What self-improvement?" Zenitsu asked, getting up from the ground.
"Self-improvement is a method of improving one mentally and physical health. For starters, I notice you seem to act a little bit...afraid at times".
"Afraid? Come on? I'm not afraid", He stated, "I slay demons for crying out loud".
"Yeah, but even with that title there are still some flaws that need to be worked up", Lisa commented, "Honestly, I'm kinda surprised you're even a Demon Slayer".
"Kinda think of it, how did you become a Demon Slayer?" Sonic asked him.
"It's a long story", Zenitsu said, "But listen, aren't you all scared at times? Why is this a problem for me?"
"I don't know. Fears are kinda restricted and natural. From you, it's kinda messy", Megaman said.
"And no offence, but kinda annoying", Lego Batman commented, "Seriously, I can't literally have a awesome bat sleep without this guy having night terror".
"Totally. His night terror is a pain to get through", Sonic agrees.
"Anyways, moving on", Lisa's attention is now towards Chowder, telling him, "Now Chowder, I seem to recall you liking food a lot, correct?"
"Yep, I totally am", He replied, saluting to her.
"That's good and all, but would it be more healthier if you tone down your...uhhh..craving a bit?"
"What do you mean?"
Lisa pointed her pen toward the kitchen, which shows a broken refrigerator, open cabinets, with the lid being broken off, and several small crumbs spreading everywhere, indicating Chowder has a huge appetite.
"Ok, I may have taken too much of a midnight snack", Chowder responded nervously.
"Ooookay, may need to check this off as an eating problem", Lisa mutters, marking with her pen off the box on the paper, then moving on with Jules sitting next to her, "So Jules, mind telling me your qualities. Both pros and cons?"
"Why would I want to reveal my quality to you?"
"It's for self-improvement".
"Yeah well, I don't need any improvement as you can see".
"Really?" Lisa sarcastically said, "Because it does seem to me you are already revealing some quality about you".
"Like what-" At first, Jules was confused, but then realised he just baited himself by acting in his usual personality, "God damn it".
"She totally got you there", Ruby commented.
"Checking off. Self-absorb problems", Lisa said, checking her paper off, "Batman".
"Yeah! That's me!" Batman pointed to himself, confidently and chiefly, "Batman! Rain of the night!"
"Uhh yeah", Lisa said, moving on from his attempt to sound cool, "Anyways Batman, tell me about your traits?"
"Oh I got a supply of traits! I'm cool, dark, brooding, and good with the ladies!"
"Uh huh, and let me ask, do you have any weaknesses?"
"None!"
"Like…none at all?" Lisa asked in a deadpan tone.
"Of course I don't. I'm like…super rich. Which equates to me not having a weakness".
"I'm not sure how that equates to you having no weakness", Lisa said. "But anyways, how did you become rich?"
This question made Lego Batman uncomfortable, stating, " "Uhh, that's…personal information".
00000000000000000000000000000000
"Ok, so I managed to list down a few common traits that these guys have", Lisa said, "If I'm going to ensure my team wins, I need to learn of their strong weaknesses, and find a way to improve from it. I know it's not going to be easy, but I need to try. Team efforts require team improvement".
00000000000000000000000000000000
Suddenly, the roof above them shook. Then Captain Hero crashes in, breaking down a couple of debris to the ground.
As he landed on some of the startle contestants, he greeted them, and even took notice of Megaman and Sonic, "Hello everyone! Nice to see you guys! What's up, my two bros!"
"Dude! What the heck man!" Sonic shouted, "Could've used the door, instead?"
"Nah! Why use doors, when you could fly everywhere! And beat sh*t to the ground!" Captain Hero said, smashing the table on the ground with his fist, "Anyways, what's going on with you guys? I see one of you is too excited to see me".
He was referring to Zenitsu, who remained frozen and stunned, until eventually collapsing to the ground.
"We were kinda in the middle of a team meeting to discuss our quality and self-improvement", Silence explained.
"Ugh! Boring! Sounds like a list of not to do things while having fun", Captain Hero responded, much to Lisa's annoyance.
"What were you doing, anyways?" Lisa asked him with a deadpan expression.
"What was I doing! Training, duh!" Captain Hero stated, "Epic training! Did some flight training, did push ups, sit ups, and drank lots of juice. Red juice to be precise".
Lisa was stunned to hear about this, especially the juice part, which made her feel really uncomfortable, "Oh...that explains the dead piles of seagulls I've passed by".
"Anyways come on, guys!" Hero said, wrapping his arm tightly around Megaman and Sonic, "Let's go out and enjoy ourselves. I'm thinking of surfing, breaking down trees and creating our own tree house. Or better yet, reading some naughty magazine...don't worry, most of them are not traps".
"Uhhh yeah, me and Megaman would rather hang out without...uhh...you around, pal", Sonic said.
"What? Why? Is it because of the fun activity I have planned? Don;t worry, I got one that fits both of you guys' styles! Like fighting! Wrestling! And more fighting!"
"It just…we much prefer some alone time", Megaman told him".
"Really?"
"Yeah, it's not like we hate you or anything".
"We just want to…uhhh…plan something out", Sonic told him, "You know, for later challenges and stuff where we could be…useful".
"Oh, I see", Captain Hero released them, then stood up. Feeling a little surprised by their response.
At first, Sonic and Megaman were afraid he's not going to take this lightly, but to their surprise he didn't.
As he replied with, "I get it. Need some time to think of some more fun ways we could do together. Can't blame you. Well then, I'm going off and going to drink more juice".
"Uhhh actually, maybe rather than drinking some juice, you could-" Before Lisa could prevent him from killing more birds, Captain Hero flew back up, crashing and leaving more debris, "And he's gone".
"Anyone want to bet he masterbaite himself during his "training?" Jules asked them.
"I do not want to know that", Lego Batman said.
00000000000000000000000
"Ok, maybe finding some ways of improvement over one of us won't be easy", Lisa remarked, referring to Captain Hero personality trait, realizing how difficult it's going to be in handling him.
0000000000000000000000000
"It occurs to me that two of my pals don't seem comfortable around me", Captain Hero said, "Do I think that seems oddly suspicious? Hell no. They are probably just too shy to hang out with me, that's all. I mean, I've only been here just four days ago. No need to suspect anything unusual".
000000000000000000000
"Welp, while you guys are doing something boring", Jules said, getting up as he is having no interest in discussing further about each other's quality, "I'm going to go find somewhere else that isn't boring".
"Wait, you're just going to leave?" Lisa asked him.
"Uhh yeah, I'm not going to waste my time listing all my bad qualities", Jules told her, "I already know I have bad qualities. Don't need any reminder".
Once he left, Lisa was not happy by Jules being dismissive about what they were doing, "Welp, now I know who this Jules guy is".
"Yeah, he's not much of a…nice person, if I may add", Silence said.
"I can totally see that".
"But he isn't fully bad".
"Yeah, like the time he pulled the middle finger at me", Sonic mentioned.
"Or the other time he told me to f**K off because I was making fun at his hair", Megaman added.
"Ok, maybe he isn't fully great, but he is usually just in a bad mood most of the time", Silence said.
"A pretty awful one to be exact", Ruby added.
"Did you guys, I don't know, help him solve those behavioring issues?" Lisa asked them.
"Not yet at least", Ruby replied, "I am wondering what other gimmicks he had with him?"
"He did mention someone", Silence said.
Outside, Mr. Satan is showing off his strength by chopping down a couple of woods.
There was a pile of broken wood, with Mr. Satan chopped down ninety more with his bare hand, all while Yuffie and Neptune watched, since they had nothing else to do, other than Neptune playing on her DS gameplay.
"Aha! There's nothing more relaxing than showing off how amazing I am", Mr. Satan said, then asked the bored looking Yuffie and a distractful Neptune, "Isn't that right, girls?"
"Yeah, yeah, nothing more amazing than watching you cutting wood the same thing over and over again", Yuffie said in a bored tone.
"Damn right!"
"You know, you could do something else besides watching this moron continuing to chop down a bunch of timbers", Neptune told her, still playing her game.
"I could but there's nothing else to do on this island. It sooooo boring", Yuffie replied.
000000000000000000000000000000
"Without those Z fighters around, I might actually get the chance to show off my true strength this time around", Mr. Satan said, "And plus, I can make it through the games thanks to my level of strengths I have such as body muscle and leg muscle. Seriously, it's refreshing to have no blond hair looking guys around to show off their maximum power level or something. Not that I'm against it or anything. Sometimes I much prefer the more…down to Earth side of power. If you know what I mean".
000000000000000000000000000
Just when his confidence is getting the better of him, he doesn't notice that someone else is doing a similar training to him.
Donna was doing wood breaking, only instead of her fist she twisted her torso around a pair of woods and crushed it, much to the astonishment of Yuffie, who seemed to take more of an interest over her than Mr. Satan.
"Wow! That's amazing Donna", Yuffie complimented her, "A bit weird and gross, but totally cool".
"Thanks! Had to practice my body to do all sorts of amazing tricks", Donna said, going back to her normal body, "One of my friends back at home kinda advises me to do that, regularly if I'm going to keep in shape".
"Oh! Didn't see you there", Mr. Satan said, surprised by her, as well as noticing a pile of broken wood, much bigger than his.
"Really?" Donna replied, "I was literally right next to you".
"Uhh guess I was too focused on my whole training then".
"Eh, guess so. I mean, you are a popular martial artist after all".
"Yep, totally! Much stronger than any human on Earth. By Earth, I mean my Earth".
"How did you become strong?" Yuffie asked, "No wait, you drink plenty of juice, right?"
"Yep!"
"Knew it".
"I drank tons of juice. Not just that either, I ate metal and steel for breakfast! And I even wrestled an army of bears to make my own dinner! It was delicious".
"Wow! That's amazing", Donna was at awe by his tale, not so much with Yuffie.
"Pretty sure you made those up", She commented.
"And what about you? How did you become…umm this, if I may add?" Mr. Satan asked her.
"Well it's kinda a long story", Donna explained, "To put it bluntly, I got caught up in some alien mess that resulted in me gaining my ability".
"Oh, so your ability is becoming rubber?
"Pff, no. Well, I kinda wish it was rubber. Otherwise, I would've avoided tons of things that involve electricity".
00000000000000000000000
"Okay, so there's a bunch more stronger guys around here, with special tricks and all that", Mr. Satan said, "So what? I'm still tough as a nail. I don't even need some sort of trick to be perfect…well, in case things get dire, of course".
000000000000000000000000
As if this wasn't enough to break his confidence, a tree fell down right in front of them, bringing startle and shock among them, even Neptune took her eyes off and noticed the fallen tree in front of them.
"Okay, what just happened?" Neptune asked.
"Hey guys!" Their questions were answered, as Radio Woman came by without her axe, greeting them and giving them a hand wave, "What's up? I didn't notice you guys were out here".
"You didn't even hear our commotion at all?" Neptunia asked, "How far were you from here?"
"Uhhh I'm from space!", Radio Woman responded, unsure how to answer that, as the only answer she could come up with is where she lives".
"Okay then...", Donna said, feeling weirded out along with the others, then she moved on with a different topic. Putting her hands together and asking out of curiosity, "So what were you doing?"
"Oh! Sinestro requested me to focus more on my…uhh physical…something!" Radio Woman replied, "He said something about me being good at it or whatever".
"Really? Sinestro told you that?" Mr. Satan asked.
"Uh huh! And he also told me to not waste any more of my power for dumb stuff, and only reserve it for the important stuff".
"Wow, your new guy seems to be giving out good advice", Yuffie remarked.
"I know! I don't know why Aisling hates him".
"I'm pretty sure it's Dororo".
"Dororo? Who's Dororo?"
"The thief girl", Donna told her.
"Huh?"
"The one with the raggy clothing and black hair".
There was silence. Confused silence. Much to Donna's groaning frustration, "The one with the shark teeth".
"Oooooh...that's Mabel, right?"
Her answer literally dumbfounded her, causing her to facepalm.
Radio Woman shrugged, telling them, "Anyways, time to get back to chopping down more wood!...with my teeths!"
As she departed and whistled to herself, Neptune remarked, "You know I would totally make an inappropriate joke about wood right about now, but...nah".
While this was going on, Fia was there, hiding behind the cabins and hearing and seeing everything that had gone down.
She was concerned. More concern than ever.
000000000000000000000000000000000000000
"This isn't looking good", Fia remarked, "It would seem apparent that their new member has been giving out some advice. That Sinestro guy seems smarter than I thought. I must form an alliance immediately. Even if it means I have to force myself to be nice to some of the more….annoying mortals".
000000000000000000000000000000000
Somewhere else in the forest, Aisling was climbing up onto every branch from a tree.
With her was Hilda, who was way behind and seemed to take her time following her, as from yesterday both became quite curious to one another.
"So you're telling me that your forest trees are a lot longer than a regular forest?" Hilda asked her, with Aisling being way above her.
Aisling responded, waiting for her and casually leaning against the tree, "Yep. I haven't explored much around the world. But from what I see little of, I can tell they are not as massive as where I'm from".
"Funny. I'm not really surprised there".
"Does your place have trees as huge as mine?"
"I don't know. That kinda depends. Trees at my place are usually alive", Hilda said, finally making it up on the same branch as her, as she is clenching onto it, "Never really been to your place before. Perhaps if my mom allows it, I could visit there to see".
Aisling giggled, "That's fine. I was just wondering. Being out of my forest really made me wonder if there are other places that are similar to mine".
As they continue to climb up, with Aisling hopping from one branch and then crawling through the leaves, finally reaching the top, both of them finally make it.
Springing out of the leaves, with blue butterflies flying away from their intrusion.
They fly off in the distance, far into the blue sky, as Hilda sees the huge scenery before her. She and Aisling were at awe, as the both of them finally found a spot perfect to hang out.
A spot out in the open where the sun shines it flares and illuminates brightness to them. The wind was smooth, creating a gush of leaves to spring out and bringing more comfort to the girls.
"Woah, this is amazing", Hilda remarked, as Aisling stood up to embrace the windy fresh air, "Surprising how I manage to encounter the correct scenery".
"I'm more surprised you climb a lot better than my friend, Brendan", Aisling confessed, as Hilda pulled out her sketchbook and pencil, "Granted, Brendan was a bit sheltered, but he was still surprisingly brave".
As Hilda started sketching, she asked her, "I never met this Brendan person. You say his interest is similar to mine, correct?"
Aisling nodded, "He can be a little quirky, but I still like him a lot. Even if he's more busy with his book than hanging out with me a lot".
"Sounds more neglectful".
"I wouldn't say that per say. He is family after all…well, the only family I have".
"Oh, that's umm…that's unfortunate. Did something happen?"
"It's…..personal", Aisling assured her, "Don't worry about it. I got over it a long time ago".
"Ok then".
"Do you have a family of your own?"
"Oh yes, I do", Hilda replied, "I have my mom, my critter friends, human friends as well. Oh, and I even have a troll friend".
"A troll friend?"
"Heh yeah, it's a complicated story. One I'll tell you later".
Just then, a huge sound of a microphone can be heard across the island. It was Imani, calling out to everyone which startled Hilda a bit, "EVERYONE! MEET ME AT THE MIDDLE OF THE FOREST! NOW!"
This causes Hilda to fall, screaming until eventually being caught by Aisling at the leg, almost hitting the ground.
"Your okay?"
"Yeah, fine. Not the first time I fell off something this tall".
Everyone was walking through the forest in their teams.
While walking on a road, most converse to one another before the real challenge begins.
"I can't believe this", Red Skull complained to Sinestro, crossing his arms with a displeased opinion, "Wanting me to start acting more nicely to everyone. What kind of advice is that?"
"I didn't exactly say that. I wanted you to tone down your prejudice if we are going to win. Besides, be lucky I managed to talk some sense into you. Radio Woman was difficult to talk to".
"You think I'll listen to you. Please, I would rather listen to any American propaganda than your foolish orders".
"I'm not expecting you to comply. What I am expecting is for you to remain in the game much longer, since I do need you around in case we need a repairman.
"A repairman?"
"Just be lucky I see you as a good asset".
Red Skull grunted, moving on with Bob who seemed to get a bit closer to Tsuyu space, "Soooooo Tsuyu, how were you? Sorry I didn't meet up with you at…whatever you usually do".
"I was training".
"Yeah, training, heheheheh", He awkwardly laughed, "I was kinda busy making a gift for you".
"Wait, a gift?" Tsuyu asked, much to her surprise.
"Yep", Bob said, as he pulled out behind him a square, chocolate cake with a poorly drawn and poorly drawn Tsuyu holding hand, "It took me like over a night, but I finally finished it. Looks great, right? Had to steal a few ingredients to make this perfect cake. Also, I had to avoid sleeping walking Chowder".
"Where did you even hide it from?"
"Inside me".
"Ew".
"Uhhh no! I don't mean anything like that. I meant to say, I have pockets that could hold...anything inside of it".
"Oh, that's weird, but eh I'm not going to question it", Tsuyu said, "Thanks for the cake, but I'm not hungry right now".
"Oh that's okay. I can save it for later when you and I have some alone time…...in case, uhhhhh..if you…you interested in night desserts?"
Just before he could finish, Chowder noticed Bob holding the cake and seemed quite interested in it, even asking him, "Oh my gosh! It's that a cake? Can I have it?!"
"Sure, I don't mind", Tsuyu replied, with Chowder grabbing it and shoving it down his throat, which pleased him, "Mmmm...cake".
"You little sh*t!" Bob shouted, which startled Chowder as he ran away from him, "That supposed to be our cakes!"
000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000
"You know I'm not really that dumb to know Bob is trying to hit on me", Tsuyu confess, "Granted, I could've straight up told him I"m not interested, but I know he's not going to listen. My priority is the challenge itself, so I'm going to try my best to ignore his advances on me, even if it makes me feel….uncomfortable".
000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000
Fia was walking all by herself, looking quite unhappy to herself. Frowning, even. She's only doing this in an attempt to gain some attraction. Before she could form an alliance, she needed to do some advising or acknowledgement of the current situation.
It was her way of needing some confirmation if she should go with her plan or not.
Sonic took notice. Feeling a little concerned for her, despite joking around with her he asked her, "Hey, what's wrong with you? You seem...grumpier than usual".
"Oh yes, isn't it obvious?"
"No".
Fia grunted and straight up told him, deciding to let her frustration be known, "Listen you mortal, the other team has more powerful foes compared to us. If we don't do anything about this, we are going to lose more team".
"Relax, we are not going to lose, okay. I got everything under control…with some assistance by Lisa Simpson, of course".
"Yes we are, considering your our leader. And considering your personality, there's a chance we are going to fail because you don't know how to lead".
"Please, I led my own Freedom Fighter against Egghead. What makes you think I'm not capable of leading it".
"Okay even if you have led your own special group before, I'm not certain you could do it again, this time against a guy with a power ring, a literal nazi, and a snobbish brute who only cares about gold".
"Still the same as going up against Robotnik usual drones".
Fia growls as Sonic walks past him, with Lisa taking notice of her grudge and concern and telling her, "I can tell you aren't taking a liking to him".
"Obviously. He's so annoying. He keeps acting all cool and chill about it, and not taking into account this is a serious matter".
"True, but he is essential".
"Essential my huge a**" Fia said, "What do you even want, girl?"
"What I want is for our team to win by bringing out their potential traits, and solving their problematic side. Sure, I'm not the team leader, but I am the team consulter".
This only made her even more irritated by her, as she is not in the mood to go further into a huge argument.
00000000000000000000000
"Perhaps I am a bit too harsh lately", Fia said, "So what? These idiots are running the place, while I'm just a watcher seeing their failure coming to life. God, I hate them".
000000000000000000000000
"Got to make my first instinct", Fia thought, "Seems my advice has been ignored. Now then, who should I target first to be in my alliance".
She then took sight of Mr. Satan, walking fully confident of himself.
Although not the ideal pick, she decided to target him. There were two reasons behind this. For one, she needed a tough guy with no brain so he's the closest to that. And also, if she's ever in a predicament, she can always use a scapegoat. Mr. Satan was perfect for that.
Making her move toward him with a grin, she greeted him in a seductive manner, "Hey Satan".
"Oh, uhh…hey demon girl, I mean! Queen Fia", Mr. Satan replied, "How are you doing?"
"Doing fine as always. I seem to notice your in a good mood".
"Of course I am. I'm excited for the next challenge", Mr. Satan claimed, with his thoughts being differ from the truth, "Gotta maintain my cool if I'm going to make it through the game".
"That's good to hear", Fia said, "Listen, I want to apologize for the way I behave to you new guys. I'm just not used to having this amount of people around".
Fia got a lot closer to Satan, making him feel very uneasy and blushing.
"It's okay. Sometimes people aren't much of a social type", Satan laughed nervously as Fia got a lot closer to him.
"True, true, say I was thinking of forming an alliance. What do you think? You, me, and some other fools-I mean, fellows?" She asked him.
"Alliance? Like a secret alliance? Why?" Mr. Satan asked, as his nervousness went away and some slight suspicions came.
"Good question. Let me ask you this; Do you find that Hedgehog to be competent as a leader".
"I mean, I have nothing much to say to a blue guy like him, but by first observation it does seem apparent he's a little…uhh, immature".
"And do you seem…swell to have him be the lead?"
"Ummm I don't know. I guess no, since we lost the last challenge".
"Exactly. I'm afraid that it's better if we form a alliance, that way we don't have to follow his command".
"Really? I mean, I'm not sure how this alliance of yours is going to work".
"Just trust in me. All you need to do is listen to me, and not that Hedgehog".
00000000000000000000
"On the one hand, I knew full well she's just using me", Mr. Satan confesses, "On another hand, I thought I could use this as an opportunity. Like, if she mistreated me I'll just blackmail her".
000000000000000000000
Dororo glances toward Sinestro, giving a grudging look to it.
She remained this way, crossing her arm and mumbling to herself, "Look at him. Smirking as if he's all goodie and what not. His facade isn't going to last long. Sooner or later, my pals are going to find out he's nothing but a cruel, terrible...uhhh, awful guy, yeah".
Kate Alen took notice of Dororo's mood, as she commented next to Reg, "Sheesh, I know Dororo has a history with that guy. I didn't think she'll hold much of a grudge this badly".
"I mean, I can't say I blame her", Tsuyu said, "Whatever history they do have, it must've really affected her a lot".
"Still, I do hope her grudge doesn't affect our team effort", She said.
"Hope so", Tsuyu said, then moving on with a concerning question, "Say, have Sinestro dealt with Red Skull...ummm, prejudice against you?"
"Don't worry about it. I'm sure he did", She assured him, "Besides, my focus now is on the challenge itself. And no single hater is going to pull me back".
Somewhere else as Steam Lad is walking alone, feeling Cherieng presence isn't around here, he then heard a familiar greeting.
It was Mabel, along with her is Reg who seemed to be covered in dirt smears and sticks poking out of his hair, "hi Steamy!"
"Oh, hi Mabel", Steam Lad greeted, "You seem…hyper than ever".
"Hype as ever!" Mabel yelled, then toning her voice down to speak with him, "I have no idea what the challenge is going to be about, but I am fully prepared for it! I got everything with me such as my grappling hook! My sparkle dust! And stickers!"
"How are these supposed to be useful? Well, except for maybe the grappling hook".
"Steam Lad, sometimes you need imagination to think they are useful".
"Huh? I don't get it".
"It's call, imagination thinking. Or what I like to call it, brainbow. Get it? Brain? Rainbow. Brainbow. You-you get it?"
"I….don't get it".
"That's okay! Sometimes I never get it either", Mabel said, awkwardly laughing to herself, "But anyways, curious about where I was?"
"Not really?"
"I was hanging out with my new best friend, Reggy!" Mabel said, wrapping her arm around Reg and hugging him near her, "Right Reg?"
"Umm yeah, right".
"You two seem to have a lot of fun".
"Yeah we did all sorts of things together", Mabel explained, releasing Reg, "I taught him how to play tag. Dirt tag to be precise. It's like a tag, only you throw dirt at them".
"I also fell in some mud by accident", Reg replied.
"Oh, that explains the weird smell", Steam Lad commented.
"Yea me and Reg had a lot of fun", Mabel told him, "Kinda a shame we didn't have a third party member with us".
Mabel nudged him, "Eh, eh, am I right?"
"Uhhh yeah".
"Also! Uhh Sorry about what happened back there with the whole me dropping down on ya", Mabel shyly scratched her head and chuckled as she explained, "I-I didn't really catch my own balance on…bird watching".
"It's ok. I sometimes lose balance".
"Really? That's cool! I mean, that's…good to know. I'm usually not much of the clumsy type. I"m more of the…wild type, if you know what I mean".
"Uh huh".
"Hey, mind telling me your relationship with Cherieng?" Mabel asked, trying to move on from the awkward moment, which did got his attention.
"Why do you want to know?"
"Just out of curiosity. I mean, I seem to notice you two don't get along really well".
"Welp, it's kinda a long story. To put it shortly, Cherieng did something that screwed up and tried to attempt in "disturbing the world". That's her word, not me. I came by, I stopped her, and now she hates me. So there".
"Ooooh….like what did she do?"
"It's hard to tell. It's been a while since I could remember", Steam Lad said, "But anyways, I would rather not talk much about it".
"I get it! Very personal to you. I'm kinda personal when it comes to something screwy".
Elsewhere, Ruby and Silence were catching up with Jules, with Ruby giving him a kind greet, "Hi Jules".
"Hi, how was Lisa meeting?" Jules asked, "Was it boring or extra boring? Or in other rare case, mildly boring? I can't think of any ranking of boredom just so you guys know".
"It was fine", Ruby replied, "me and the rest of the team are kinda worried about your behavior, you know".
"Not surprising. Never really like being favored".
"Why's that?"
"I don't know. It's cringe worthy. You know how sometimes people will only be drawn to like you based on their sick obsession with you?"
"Yes?"
"Well that's one of my main reasons. There's a couple, but I'm too shy to share it with you guys. So you just need to take my word for it".
Finally they have been led out of the path and into an open, wide space.
Ratcliffe, being confused, demanded some answers real fast, "What is this? What kind of challenge is this? Are we seriously going to do some laboring work or what?"
"Relax", Schmendrick said, "I'm sure the host has something for us".
"Speaking of, has anyone seen the woman with the dog statue?", Red Skull asked.
"It's not a dog, you idiot!" Cherieng appears to them in a cloud of black smoke, carrying the statue with her.
"Ah Cherieng, great to see you here. Good to see you bring along your…..weapon in case we require your help", Sinestro commented.
"Hmph, good to know you quickly figuring out what my ability is", Cherieng replied, "Sinestro".
"You know I'm kinda curious", Hilda asked, "Is your statue supposed to be some type of animal or mystical creature?"
"I…have no idea what this is. Despite my long stay in this mortal world".
"I'm going to be honest, I have no idea what it is either", Steam Lad said, "Because…you know, no eye and stuff".
"Is anyone wondering where our host is?" Guybrush asked.
"Right here, everyone!" The host's voice is heard, and soon the wide space begins to erupt, causing the ground to open up and reveal a huge, round platform.
The platform is pure white, revealing white bricks that formed it. Along with it is a giant screen, showing their team name separately and a number count.
Some were at awe by the spectacle, while others were curious and intrigued about what this challenge is all about.
Soon the host appeared from the forest to meet with the cast, "Hello everyone! Welcome to today's challenge! Anyone wants to guess what today's challenge is".
"Is it cooking!" Chowder asked, jumping excitedly.
"Nope! Today's challenge is all about brawling", Imani began to explain, "You see, one member from their team must face off another member of the other team in this spectacle of a fighting tournament. The winner who manages to beat their competitor out of the ring platform wins!"
"Huh, that does sound unique", Donna remarked.
"Honestly, I'm not surprised", Jules said, "Most of us are fighters anyways".
'Well some of us aren't", Lisa mentions, referring to her and a few others.
"I said, most of us. What, you think I'm expecting you to know how to fight, somehow?"
"I'm going to literally get you for that".
"Yeah, as if".
"So what's the rule for this challenge?" Sinestro asked.
"Two rules. One, no killing", Imani continues, ignoring the disappointment among some of the more extremist competitors, "Two, no blood shed. Seriously guys, this is still a family show".
000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000
"Yes! A fighting tournament! This early, no less", Mr. Satan said, sounding thrilled about this, "This is what I've been waiting for! To show off what a true strongest guy I am. I just hope I'm paired up with someone I could easily beat. Hoping it isn't that viking girl, that purple guy, that red guy, and...uhhh, darn. There's a lot of strong folks in their team".
0000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000
"Also, another thing to mention", Imani said, "For the Blazing Badnik, since you guys lost the last challenge I will give you guys one last chance to redeem yourself. Consider this as some form of redemption opportunity".
"Really? I was worried you were going to force us to wear something ridiculous as a form of punishment", Chowder mentioned.
"Come on, I'm not that cruel like Chris" He replied, "But as I was saying, for this redemption you guys will be facing an opponent that isn't from the other team. That means, a new opponent".
This stirred some interest among the Blazing Badniks, while the other teams were mixed. Some share the same curiosity, while others remain skeptical. Especially Sinestro.
"And how is that supposed to be good for us?" Fia asked.
"Because if you guys manage to beat him", Imani explained, "He'll be part of your official crew".
This intrigued and even pleased some of the members, with Sonic taking a liking of it, "Ok, that doesn't sound like a bad idea".
"Yeah I mean, we are kinda low with team members", Megaman added, "Maybe this could be our chance".
"Who is this new guy, Imani?" Captain Hero asked, "Is he strong like me?"
"I hope that isn't the case. I prefer guys who are…equally cool like me", Lego Batman states, "And also not annoying like a certain red cape person I know of".
"I hope it's someone who likes dirt!" Mole shouted, "Or is French. Mostly French. I don't have many friends to relate to around here".
"I can relate", Chowder said, lifting his shirt up to reveal his belly, "The only friends I have is my belly, but even then I can't even relate to".
The belly then began to horrifyingly screech at him, much to his annoyance and surprise to Mole.
"He can be loud sometimes".
"Oh, that's a mystery, I'm going to save that until the very end. And one more thing, if you guys lose then that new opponent will be placed with the other team".
"So essentially, that's our reward as well, correct?" Kate asked.
"Yep. And I'll tell ya, if you guys have him he'll definitely benefit your team, big time. Like legit".
00000000000000000000000000000000
"We have to win", Fia confessed, "I don't know who this new opponent is, but I'm hoping he's strong and easy to manipulate".
00000000000000000000000
"Okay guys, here's how we going to pick opponents" Imani said, as a cart is pulled by one of the Berbils, which contain a open box with name tags in it, "I'll pick a tag with the name of the competitor, and he or she will choose their competitor from the other team".
"Me! Me! Me!" Captain Hero raises his hand first, very hype about this challenge, since it fits within his own boundaries of fun, "It better be me!"
"No, I want to go first!" Mr Satan cuts in, "I haven't been fisting another opponent for a long time!"
"Dude, phrasing?" Jules said.
"I-I hope I'm not pick", Zenitsu said, "Not saying I'm weak or anything, but-"
"Zenitsu, maybe you should relax a little", Lisa told him, "Even if your pick, you get to pick an opponent who is…umm, easy to handle and less threatening".
"Yeah but what if this opponent is secretly terrifying and strong?!"
"Uhhh…then try your best", Lisa awkwardly chuckled, trying to be at least supportive of him.
Imani shoved his hand into the box, nudging around until eventually he pulled out a paper, as he read and announced the first competitor's name, "Captain Hero will be first!"
"Yes! Yes! I'm picked!" Captain Hero shouted, thrilled to hear his name. Raising his arms out and thrusting his hips out to celebrate. His team, however, were less positive about it, "Woohoo! Oh yeah! I am lucky today!"
His team were concerned and afraid, as Megaman quickly asked the host, "UHhh hey host, do you mind giving us a minute to think this through?"
"Sure thing", Imani replied, "Ten seconds guys".
This upset Hero a bit, even feeling dumbfounded by this moment of discussion.
"Aww ten seconds?" Captain Hero complained, feeling disappointed by the team's decision, turning around and asking them in a whining tone, "Come on, guys?! What's there to think about? He chose me first!"
"Hero, we need to come up with a….uhhh..strategy first, if we're going to win", Megaman said.
"Strategy?!"
"Yes, every team needs a strategy in order to win", Lisa told him.
"Why do we even need one! This is a fighting challenge! Not a thinking challenge!"
"What she meant is, we are totally scare sh*tless by you, in which there's a likely chance you may kill the opponent", Fia commented, "Not that I have fun desire in seeing the brutality of it happening on live TV".
"Kill the opponent? That is luterious", He said, crossing his arms and looking away, feeling offended by that claim, "What makes you even think I would do such a thing".
"Oh, there's a lot of things", Jules said, "First off, your super strong. Second, your naive. And third-"
Before he could finish, Sonic quickly stopped him in preventing Hero from getting agitated and started throwing a tantrum that would likely kill all of them.
"Uhhh listen Hero, what they meant to say is we were just thinking about saving you for the more..ummm…stronger opponent".
This caught Hero's attention, even making him excited about the idea, "Really?"
"Yeah dude, we love that your strong and all that", Megaman told him, "That's why we are saving the best for…umm..last!"
"Huh, you know that does sound like a great idea", Hero told him, accepting this idea, "Yeah, yeah, I like it".
Sonic sighs in relief.
Once the ten second thing is up, Captain Hero turns around and faces the host, proclaiming, "Imani! I have decided that I will refuse to participate in the first round".
"Really dude?" Imani asked.
"Yes! I realize that I am more interested in facing this new opponent than some regular, loser from the other team".
"I think he's referring to you", Radio Women whisper next to Cherieng.
"Hmm…well, there's no rule for the opponent to back down for a later competitor", Imani said, "So alright then, I'll pick a different guy".
00000000000000000000
"Captain Hero is a strong guy", Megaman confessed, "Don't get me wrong. But there's a difference between being tough and being depraved. I mean granted, we didn't originally plan on him being our last competitor to face off this new guy. But it's either that or seeing another team member getting shredded and having our team be disqualified".
00000000000000000
"Ok then, let's pick out a different competitor this time around", Imani once again, put his hands into the box and pulled out another tag name, reading it out loud, "Mister Satan!"
"Yeah! I'm going first!" Mr. Satan exclaimed, as he stepped onto the ring, raising both his arms in the air as if he's gaining some cheers, "Just you wait! You guys are going to see how Satan handles this!"
"He should probably stick with the name Hercules because that name isn't going to sit well", Lego Batman pointed out.
"Ok Satan, since you are picked, you get to pick who your first competitor from the other team will be" Imani said, "So got any pickers?"
Mr. Satan chuckles himself, feeling the over abundance of confidence within him, "That's easy".
He directed his finger to one of the Powerful Porky, which baffle some of his team, especially Fia, "I choose Cherieng!"
"WHAT?!" Sonic and Megaman exclaim.
This somewhat baffles Cherieng, with B.W. Dee commented, "Woah, I think someone just chose you, Cherieng".
"Great…as if my day just got better", She grunting and sarcastically said.
000000000000000000
"Now I know choosing her may seem kinda cruel", Satan confessed, "She's a woman, and I never hit a woman. However, I needed an easy opponent to take down and she looked right enough for me".
000000000000000000
"Mr. Satan, what the hell are you doing?" Fia whispered to him.
"Choosing the right opponent. I think I could take her down very easily".
"And what makes you think that?"
"I don't know. But something about her, she doesn't seem tough enough".
Fia groaned out of frustration, muttering to herself and facepalming, as he made his way onto the ring, "What an idiot. Should've inform him what she's capable of before hands".
She and half of her team were aware of her ability, and were quite certain that Satan isn't going to handle this well.
"Dude, you seriously want to pick her?" Imani asked.
"Yep! No complaints!"
"Tch your logic cease to amaze me, if it means allowing me to use my power for fear purposes, then I happily accept it", Cherieng said.
"Just don't try to kill him, Cherieng", Kate reminded her, "We don't want the other team to perceive us as bad guys".
"I mean to be fair, most of our team members are made up of villains", Hilda told her.
"Rest assure you mooks", Cherieng told them, "Even though there's a rule against killing, there's no rule about giving him a little trauma to remember."
"Pretty sure that's far worse", Steam Lad said.
"Oh shut up. I don't need your opinion".
Cherieng made her way onto the platform, where Mr. Satan began to do his usual routine stretch before the fight.
Posing in a striking position, then quickly fisting his hands in the air until he stopped and glanced at her, telling her, "Alright madam, give me what you got!"
"Ugh, I can't believe I'm doing this", Cherieng thought, "Well not the first time I've faced something more ridiculous than him".
"Hey Satan! Are you sure you still want to do this?" Sonic asked him, nonchalantly but still a little concerned for him, even if his tone said otherwise, "I saw what she's capable of".
"Nonsense! I can handle this!" Mr. Satan responded, then turning his attention to her with a smug grin to him, "Hey lady! Just to let you know! I'm going to be a bit gentle on ya, alright? I don't like hitting a lady".
"Oh….good to know", Cherieng replied, feeling delighted, as she raised her statue above, then proceeded to chant, "Goddess of Madness!"
A splatter of red ray of light came out of the statue, as the eye socket on it began to glow. Continuing her chant.
"Bring down the darkness!"
Her arms began to shred away, revealing her bones.
"Bring down the atrocities!"
As she said that, her teeth grew sharper like pins and her eyes began to be torn half off, revealing her deep, dark eyes, with her mouth forming into a wide grin, revealing her teeths once again, as she finished her chant.
"Bring down the terror of CHERIENG!"
Mr. Satan's face goes from full confident to horrified and shocked. Even some of the rest of the contestants, mostly the new contestants were surprised by this, some even startled.
Sinestro was the least amount to hold a shocking reaction. However, it did give him a familiar feeling by that chant, even commenting, "Strange, something about her chant strikes me in a way I can't think of".
"Hate to say it, but I'm feeling the same way", Dororo agrees, despite how much she hates to admit it.
000000000000000000000000000000
Zenitsu is holding a paper bag to his mouth. Breathing in and out, trying to ease himself down after seeing Cherieng transformation. Unlike the other contestants, he was the most terrified by it.
00000000000000000000000000
"Aww cr*p! Why did I act so macho right there in front of her?!" Mr. Satan thought to himself, regretting about the decision he made here, "I should've not volunteered to do this in the first place! I should've been more aware that this was going to happen!"
"Hahahahahahaha!" Cherieng cackle, "Soooooo Mister "Satan"! Do you want me to go gentle on you?"
"Crud, I got to think of something here! There's no way I'm tough enough to face her", Mr. Satan backed away from her. Sweating and quivering, until he finally thought of something, "Wait! I got it!"
Mr. Satan proceeded to shout, stopping the first fight to even start, "Wait! Wait just a second! Time out!"
This confuses Cherieng, dropping her grin. The host and some of the rest of the contestants were a bit confused by the sudden pausing by Mr. Satan himself.
"Uhhh is there something wrong?" Imani asked.
"Uhh yeah! There is! I…..uhhh…I just realized I'm not suitable for this opponent", Mr. Satan replied.
"What do you mean?" Imani asked him.
"Well…..for starters, I don't think she's a perfect opponent. I'm leaning more for a more….stronger opponent. Someone that's..uhhhh..like her!" Mr. Satan pointed directly at Aisling, which caught everyone's attention.
Some were dumbfounded, others didn't really much have a huge reaction, other than a mild surprise look to it.
Aisling herself was suddenly baffled by his comment, "Wait, seriously?"
"His opponent is a girl?" Chowder commented, with Fia facepalming herself.
"Oh god…this is just humiliating".
This only confuse and anger Cherieng as she said to him, "Bullsh*t! You're literally trying to pussy out, aren't you?"
"What? No! I'm not!" Mr. Satan replied, "I mostly prefer fighters that are….equally match to me".
"Bullcr*p!"
0000000000000000000000
"Ok, choosing a little girl to be my opponent wasn't a good option", Mr. Satan confessed, "In fact, it was a terrible idea. But I had to think fast. Plus, looking at the other team roasters they all seem tough. And the ones I do pick, I may get some flak for punching a harmless little girl or someone weaker than me".
0000000000000000000000
"Dude, are you seriously suggesting a swap?' Imani asked him.
"Yeah! I mean, there's no rule against it, right?"
"Hmm….alright, I'll allow this once".
"Yes!" Mr. Satan was relieved. Not very much with Cherieng, however.
She stomps her way out of there. But before she could go, out of a way to spit out her frustration, took notice of B.W. Dee and did a little scare at him, "Blah!"
Giving him a startle reaction, resulting in him hiding behind Reg.
000000000000000000000000000000000
"Now I know it would seem….apparent that my opponent has backed down from facing me", Cherieng said, "You would expect I would've thrown a tantrum right there and then, but…..there are things I must reserve my anger. Not here, not now. For now, I'm a little disappointed".
000000000000000000000000000
"Way to go, Satan!" Yuffie sarcastically commented, "Your literally digging yourself deeper into elimination territory".
"HEY! It's not my fault for wanting a different opponent!" Mr. Satan claims.
"Whatever, as long as it benefits the ratings", Imani said, "Ok Aisling, your up".
"Oh man, Aisling", B.W. Dee, acting overreacting, "I'm not sure you could win. This guy look jack!"
"Why are you panicking?" Guybrush asked, "He's not even that intimidating".
"I can't see, but I can tell this guy isn't anything special by the sound of it", Steam Lad commented.
"It's ok", Aisling replied, showing no fear, "I'm not afraid of him. He just seems like an easy opponent to take down".
"I don't know. He seems pretty tough", Schmendrick commented.
"Come on, guys", Hilda replied, "I'm sure Aisling could beat him. Right Aisling".
Aisling nodded, as even though there are doubts they were enough that are smarter to know that the Irish fairy herself is capable of defending herself.
The most comes from Hilda and Sinestro. And likely Red Skull.
"Let her do it", Red Skull said, much to the surprise of some of them, "Even if I am not fond of her, she;s more bearable than that buffoon. I can count on her being able to destroy her".
"Wow, that is surprisingly supportive of you to say that, coming from you", Kate remarked.
"Believe me, I am well versed in any folklore and mythology", Red Skull states, "Compared to a simple, primitive minded one like you".
"And here you go with the racism", Kate sarcastically retorted.
"I agree with Skull here", Sinestro added, "If we are going to win we must give some of our members a chance. If we win, we win. If we lost, we can always do some improvement".
Despite some doubtness, the entire cast reluctantly and some willingly accepted and nodded to this idea, with Hilda patting Aisling back as a sign of luck.
"Good luck out there", Hilda said to her, "We are counting on you".
"Don't worry. I can handle this brute even without my wolves", Aisling states, "But thanks".
Aisling made her way onto the platform, with a deadpan expression. Mr. Satan positions himself in a fighting style, arms out and ready to strike, only there is a sense of anxiety coming from him, unable to move.
"Just remember Mr. Satan", Mr. Satan thought to himself, "She's just a little girl! I'll take her down easier than devouring fifty buffalo wings!"
Aisling took a few forward, as Mr. Satan began to back away, despite his dreary confidence. She gave a threatening look, walking to him further and further.
His dread began to increase, "Oh no! She's moving forward to me! What am I even panicking for? She's just a girl….right?"
But then, without expecting it and with a blink of an eye, Aisling swiftly appeared on Mr. Satan back, startling him.
"No! Please! Don't kill! Get off me! Please! Please! I'm begging!", Mr. Satan screams, "I'll do anything! Anything!"
"Oh my f**king god", Fia muttered to herself, feeling embarrassed to herself, but at the same time knew this would've likely happened, as she shouted, "Stop being a pussy and act like a man!"
"Yeah! Where's your unique punch technique you mentioned before!" Captain Hero shouted.
"Unique punch technique?" Sonic asked, confused by that statement.
Instead of an answer by Hero, Lisa filled him in, "It's one of his unique abilities he brag about a lot, mostly to the guys".
"Does it have anything to do with..ummm.." Megaman was going to refer to a more…disgusting context behind that sentence, but Lisa quickly shoot it down.
"What? No, no, it doesn't have anything to do with what you are referring to", Lisa replied.
Mr. Satan was caught in a hard position. Not only is he caught under the mercy of Aisling, but he is literally panicking not just in front of his team but on live TV.
Truly it is quite humiliating. Satan knew and had no idea what to do in this predicament.
Aisling sees this as an opportunity. Although she could easily beat him and get this over with, she got a different idea.
One that could be risky, but nonetheless it was one she can't help it.
"Sooo your the greatest martial artist in your own world", Aisling taunt, "I'm not impressed".
"Please! I'll do anything! Anything! Just don't scratch my beautiful face or bite my arms off!", Satan begged.
"Hmm..I'm really tempted to do that, buuuuut".
Satan gulped, fearing the worst, until Aisling responded back with this offer, "I got something else for ya. I'll make this a draw between you and me, if you vote someone off, particularly".
"Wha-?! Vote off?!"
"Yep, there's nothing wrong with this offer. We both get a draw, we both get a point. The only thing you need to do for me is if your team loses, you must vote off someone I requested".
"Uhhh-"
"Or you know, I could literally eat ya".
"No! No! I'll do it! Tell me who I'm going to vote for and I'll do it! Just leave me off the menu!"
"Good. Glad you are willing to cooperate".
000000000000000000000000000000
"It was quite risky", Aisling confessed, "Even if we lost, I didn't want to give up my chance in voting off someone I dislike, regardless how selfish it may sound".
0000000000000000000000000 000000
As soon as Aisling got off him, Mr. Satan began to do his own hits by throwing his fist at her, billions of them, all while she kept dodging it.
He kept doing it over and over, with one of his fists getting closer to her she did a back leap and landed further away from him.
Mr. Satan charged at her, readying to grab her and thinking of pinning her down until Aisling jumped over him and did a back kick at his head, with Satan almost stumbling out of the ring.
Fortunately he managed to balance back into the ring.
"Looks like Aisling is gaining the upper hand", Schmendrick remarked.
"Yes! Way to go, Aisling", Hilda cheered for her, seemingly confident that Aisling could beat this, "See guys, I knew she could handle this".
"I don't know", Ratcliffe commented, "It seems she's just simply dodging. I don't see how that's supposed to make her gain an upper hand".
"You are naive", Red Skull explained, "None of you know the full capability of a fairy".
"Well…to be fair, I'm kinda somewhat well versed with fairies", Schmendrick mentions, "Just not in this world".
"A fairy is not only mischievous on their own terms, but they possess powers that not a single individual without their purest heart could obtain", Red Skull claimed, "I'm certain that this is merely half of her ability. Once things turn to her way, she'll be able to-"
"Draw!"
Aisling's voice caught everyone off guard, especially the host himself. Even the Red Skull tone went from calm and somewhat encouraging to aggressive, "WHAT?!"
Aisling remains still, pressing her hand at Mr. Satan's face, while he tries to catch her, moving his arms all over the place without paying attention to what she just said.
"Wait, I'm confused", Imani asked, "Did you just say, draw?"
Aisling nodded, "Yep".
00000000000000000000000000
"Draw? DRAW?! What does she mean by that?!" Red Skull demanded, outrage and baffle, "She was this close in beating him, and now she considers this to be a draw?! That moron didn't even try to beat her, nor did she even try!"
000000000000000000000000000
"Uhhh Aisling, what are you doing?" Hilda asked, worryingly.
"Yeah, are you trying to make us lose or what?" Bob asked.
"Relax, I know what I'm doing", She said, as she with a flip of a finger, resulted in Satan being flung out of the ring, almost hitting his own team, and straight into one of the trees.
"So uhh…what's with the…draw thing?" Imani asked.
She then proceeded to explain this to Imani, "I felt that me and Mr. Satan are equally matched. So I decided to call it a draw. There's no rule against it, correct?"
"Ummm, I mean…I did state whoever wins or lose-" Before Imani could finish, Killinger came to him, whispered something to him, which made him reluctantly accept this claim and even understood it.
As for what Killinger has told him has yet not been known yet. So Imani proclaims, "Alright then! Due to such a statement, I'll allow this. Both the Blazing Badnik and Powerful Porky gain one point!"
This brings relief among several of the teammates, as now both of them are at equal footing.
Not so much with Red Skull, though. Red Skull scowls to himself, not pleased by this, "This is unfair. We should've won! Not be equals!"
"Calm down, at least we didn't lose", Guybrush assured him.
"You idiot! This is only going to encourage them!" He told him.
"Come on, Red Skull", Kate told him, "Guybrush is right. Be fortunate our team didn't lose to some mustachio guy".
"Don't try to even lecture me, you escaped, circus animal", Red Skull told her, "I much prefer our team being ahead of them, not being foolishly placed in the same place as them. It would be humiliating".
"Dude it's just a game".
"A game?! Or a determination on who got the blame and voted off?!"
"Sheesh, I can totally see why he's called", Bob commented to Tsuyu, "The Red Skull".
"How?" Tsuyu asked for elaboration.
But there is none, as Bob simply replied, "I…I don't know, I forgot where I was going with it".
Once Aisling came down from the platform, Hilda was the first to confront her, asking, "Aisling, why did you decide to make this a draw?"
Aisling shrugged, telling him, "I don't know. I only did it because I asked Satan to do me a favor".
"A favor? What kind of favor?"
Aisling nodded, "You'll see. Once the whole challenge is over with".
Fia came over to an unconscious Satan, feeling unimpressed by what happened today.
Along with her are his fellow teammates.
"Uhhh did we win?" Mr. Satan asked, dizzy from the impact.
"Luckily we did", Fia replied, "Unfortunately, it was dumb luck".
Fia then proceeded to kick him.
"OW!"
00000000000000000000000000000000
"It does seem to me that Satan isn't going to be much help, other than a scapegoat or a dumb brute", Fia remark, "Nonetheless, I must continue forward with my idea. Finding someone else to join my alliance and ensuring I don't get eliminated. But who should I pick".
000000000000000000000000000000000
"Pathetic", Captain Hero remarked, crossing his arm, "This is why I would've been a perfect pick for this. I really hope this decision of yours will work".
"Don't worry big guy", Megaman assured him, "You'll get your chance, just relax".
"Yeah go do something on your own before we need ya", Jules told him, "Like Masterbating".
"Do you really think I'm always into masterbation?"
"Yeah, pretty much", Jules responded, straight forward without a hint of hesitation.
This gave Jules a look by Silence, with Jules replying, "What? I'm being brutally honest".
"I'll have you know I'm into other things than masterbation", Hero stated, "Like being a hero, eating snacks, and….something".
000000000000000000000000000000
"That kid doesn't know a single thing about me", Hero confesses, "I'm not just into being a hero. I'm also into being a prostitutes! A drag one to be exact! Yeah! And I'm also into drawing porngraphic fanart involving d*cks! And…more d*cks…wait, that's too personal".
00000000000000000000000000000
"Ok, since that was a draw", Iamni then asked, "It's time for the next competitor to step up!"
Imani put his hands in the box and pulled out the third name tag, "Radio Woman!"
"Oh! I want to go! I want to go!" Radio Woman raises her hand, willingly volunteering to go.
"He already called your name", Reg replied.
"Wait, he did?"
"Ok we got one", Imani then moved on with the other team, "Radio Woman, since your pick you can choose your opponent from the other team".
"Ok! I'll pick-" Before she announced the name of the person, Sinestro came to her and whispered in her ear. After a small amount of seconds passed by, Sinestro finished, with Radio Woman being very interested in the idea, "Uhhh on second thought, I picked Donald to be my opponent! Yep!"
"It's Donna", Sinestro corrected her.
"Oh yeah! Donny!"
"Huh, seriously?" Donna was a little surprised by the response, but casually accepted it, "Okay then, opponent is opponent".
"Why did you convince her to pick her?" Kate asked, out of curiosity to Sinestro.
"It's quite risky but simple", Sinestro explained, "I seem to recall this Donna girl has the ability to stretch her limbs at impossible lengths, correct?"
"Yeah, pretty much".
"I also overhear that her body isn't like rubber, right?"
"Uh huh?"
"Radio Woman has the capability of using her ax to shoot lightning", Sinestro explained, "Similar to Thor in that manner. So if you put her against someone that isn't made out of rubber, what do you get?"
"Ooooh, I seem to get it now".
"Exactly", Sinestro, "And even if that doesn't work, her strength will do the work".
"And how do you know?"
"Simple. By observation".
"Oh sure, observation", Dororo sarcastically said, "I'm sure that's going to work sensei, advisee guy".
"Dororo, he's just trying to help our team out here", Kate told him, causing Dororo to cross her arm and glance off, "You don't need to mock him".
"Yeah, try to be a bit nice, will ya?" Hilda suggested.
"I wasn't mocking. I'm just having fun, that's all".
000000000000000000000000000000
"Despite what Dororo claims him to be", Kate Alen confesses, "Sinestro does seem to make some interesting claims. I mean, he's actually the few in my team to be doing something good that isn't being a flat out racist".
00000000000000000000000000000
Some of the team members in the Blazing Badnik were a bit concerned for Donna. Mainly due to their uncertainty on Radio Woman ability. Not to mention, her main weapon being an ax.
But Donna doesn't seem too concerned. In fact, she seems pretty positive about the fight, as she's been waiting to bust out her skill.
"Are you sure you seem pretty cool when facing her?" Megaman asked, "I mean, she seems tough".
"Plus she has an ax", Neptune pointed out, "So there's that".
"Shouldn't that not be allowed?" Sonic asked.
"Guys, guys, guys, don't worry about me", Donna assured everyone, "I can handle this. I handle far worse villains in my life, and I manage to get out of those predicaments really easy".
00000000000000000000000
"Ok, so I didn't think there's a likely chance she might try violently cutting me", Donna confessed, "I thought she was completely harmless. She doesn't seem like the person to go running out with an ax flinging around like a madman…or madwoman".
0000000000000000000000
Radio Woman and Doona stepped onto the ring.
Donna positioned herself with a striking pose. Her right fist out and left fist back, with right leg front out, readying to launch herself at her.
Radio Woman put her radio down and began to do a small swing with an ax by tossing it in the air.
Eventually it came back down, only it struck her in the head.
Luckily it didn't penetrate her skull, as she easily took it out and struck a pose with her ax out, aiming it at Donna.
"Ok before we begin", Imani asked, "Any words you guys want to exchange with each other. Like insults or encouragement?"
"Radio woman, I hope you..uhhh, like to…ummm", Donna tried to come up with an insult, but it was hard for her to think of a good one. Difficult as it may seem, she tries her best, "Fight! Because my arms are…..uhhh…darn it, can't think of any good ones".
"Oh yeah! Well I hope you win!" Radio Woman shouted, as her tone seemed to indicate it as an insult, but instead her sentence made it out as encouraging.
"Was…that supposed to be a retort?" Donna asked, letting go of her pose in bewilderment.
"Uhhh…yes! It was!...I think".
Silence and more dumbstruck by Radio Woman claim, until the silence was over with, as Radio Woman resumed back to her position, same goes with Donna.
"Ok then, let us begin!" Imani announces, pulling out a blow horn, as the loud blast signals the fight to begin.
Radio Woman, without hesitation, burst into a loud roar and charged at her, swinging her ax around, which was emitting a vibration, with electrical bolts shooting out of it.
Donna stood, her confidence dropping as soon as she realized how much of a mistake it was for her to be put on the ring against her.
Just by the sight of her opponent swinging her ax around, caring less about what harm it could do, and the fact Donna has no weapon on her own made her feel afraid.
"Oh cr*p, my team was right! What was I thinking?! She is seriously coming toward me with that ax!"
She quivers her fear, as Radio Woman jumps and launches herself at Donna.
Aaaaah! Stay away from me!" Donna, trying to use her fist as a shield, blew her hands large enough that with one swing, it hit Radio Woman in the face, flinging her on the ground, as her helmet and ax flew out.
She opens her eyes after inflating her hand back to normal, seeing Radio Woman quickly get up, shooking her head to rid the dreariness, and resume back to rushing at her.
She once again jumps at her, creating a scuffle between her and Donna, resulting in a huge dust fight, until eventually the smoke clears off.
Radio Woman is seen tangled up in a pile of stretching torsos, legs, and arms that wrap and string her all around, preventing her from escaping.
Even when she does try, it only makes it worse as Donny tightens it.
"Seems like Radio Woman is struggling to be released from her…uhhhh…body", Imani remarked.
"I'm not sure this seems…family friendly", B.W. Dee commented, feeling quite uncomfortable by the imagery. This wasn't him, most of the contestants felt this way.
"Ha! It seems your prediction isn't going smoothly, I see", Red Skull said to Sinestro, mocking at his claim in believing that Radio Woman stood a chance against Donna.
"Come on, Radio Woman! You can do this!" Bob shouted, pulling out a camera and starting taking shots at every angle for pleasure, "Just keep trying! You are doing good".
"Oooooh I don't know about any of you, but this is making me feel….somewhat invested", Captain Hero remarked in a perverted tone, much to Lisa, Sonic, and Megaman disgust.
With Lisa utterly whispering to Sonic about this, "We really need to find some way to fix him".
"Good because I am not going to stay any longer if this guy keeps acting this way", Sonic replied.
Back to the ring, Donna seems to be gaining a lot more confidence, realizing she's gaining an advantage over her.
"Aha! Yes! Totally forgot I can do this, but whatever!" Donna said, poking her head out, as Radio Woman once again struggled to move her body out of these restraints, "I finally got you within my grip!"
"Aww crud, I'm all tied up! Think! What did Sinestro say about me…uhhh, doing something less?" Radio Woman thought this over, until eventually coming to a striking idea.
An idea that was unexpected by those around her, as she immediately opened her jaw and bite on Donna's torso, causing Donna to react in a violent and painfully manner, squealing out of her throat.
It was like a knife piercing through her bones like snapping sticks.
"OW!" She screams, as everyone else was flinching and cringing by her action, as this allows the body to wane down a bit for Radio Woman to be released.
Once she shovels herself out, she proceeds to grab the entire spaghetti like body of Donna and begins to spin her above air like propellers.
Then afterward, she tossed her out of the ring and straight at her team, almost hitting them.
They duck and her entire, tangled body hangs onto the branches of the trees, feeling dazed out from the spin.
"Looks like Donna is out!" Imani announced, "The Powerful Porky has won this second round! And they get a point!"
B.W. Dee, Marx, Hilda, and Kate cheer at Radio Woman for her victory, while Sinestro simply gives a grin, realizing his prediction was correct, much to Red Skull's shock and anger.
Same with Dororo, who was dumbstruck. Sinestro gave her a smirk, much to her annoyance as she stated, "Okay! Your assumption may be correct, but that still doesn't mean you are doing good here!"
Radio Woman began to jump in the air after winning, seemingly proud of herself, "Yes! Yes! I won! I won!"
Until she stopped and came to a…odd realization, "No wait! I lost!"
000000000000000000000000000000
"Sooooooo yeah, I may have some…minor issue about me not fully being capable of using my own thoughts and ability really well", Donna confessed, "I mean, you can't blame me. I didn't expect her to just bite me. I mean, my god! Did that bite hurt! Seriously? It felt as if bells and knives had a baby and that baby is a demon that keeps stabbing you in the back! Kind of an odd way to describe but it seriously hurts!"
00000000000000000000000000000000
"Way to go you Plastic moron", Fia sarcastically mock, as Donna appears in her normal form, although feeling quite bad for herself, "Now the other team are a bit further above from us".
"At least she's not bleeding", Silence said.
"Don't feel too bad for yourself", Ruby said to Donna, coming to her for comfort by patting her back, "At least you try your best".
"I know! I just…I didn't have time to show off my full extent of my ability!" She cried out in a whining tone.
"Anyways, let's move on with the next competitor!" Imani put his hand into the box again, then pulled out the name tag and announced, "Zenitsu!"
The announcement of his name caused him to turn his head around, almost cracking his neck as he exclaimed, eyes bulging out, "WHAAAAAT?!"
"That's right dude! Your up! And you get to pick which competitor to face! Who's going to be?"
"No! No! No!" He backed away, with some of his fellow competitors confused by his reaction, "I'm not ready! I'm not even prepared to do this!"
"Calm down, you are not going to die", Lisa told him, "Aren't you like a Samurai or something?"
"For pete sake, I'm literally outmatched by these guys!" Zenitsu stated.
"Dude, you could just pick one that's literally harmless", Sonic said, "Like Waddle Dee or even Mabel".
"Yeah but I don't know what they are capable of! What if they reveal to be demons! Or worst!"
"Come on Zenitsu, just choose a guy already", Lisa told him, "I'm sure one of them isn't as strong as you".
While Zenitsu is quivering, he glances around to pick who he will face.
First it was Sinestro. Crossed arm and gave him a deadpan look. Too sinister for him to take.
Red Skull. Simply arm fold and give a snarl expression. Too Terrifying.
Steam Lad, whistling to himself and using his sword as a support table for his arm to relax. too weird and scary.
Marx, hopping on his ball and playing with it. Eerie and too disturbed.
Ratcliffe, rubbing his finger to himself and humming. Unsure about his strength but assumes he's probably tough.
Reg seems like a capable fighter, but probably stronger.
This left him Hilda, B.W. Dee, Kate, Aisling, Mabel Pines, Guybrush, Schmendrick, and Dororo.
It was a hard choice for him to pick, but he decided to go with the wizard, slowly and steadily pointing at him, "I-I choose…..Schmendrick!"
This became a surprise to some of the contestants, including Schmendrick himself and Ratclife.
Fortunately for Ratcliffe, he saw an opportunity from this.
"Huh, it seems the time has come for you to show off what you are capable of", Ratcliffe remarked to Schmendrick.
"What?" Schmendrick asked.
"Think about it. This could be your time to allow everyone see what you are truly made of".
"I-I…."
Schemendrick himself was surprised by this, but more or less in disbelief, as he didn't expect himself to participate.
"You being serious? You want me to fight you?" Schmendrick asked Zenitsu.
Zenitsu replied with a nod, while giving a weak grin.
Schmendrick paused for a moment and then asked the host, "Uhh..can I use the confession stall for a moment?"
0000000000000000000000000000
"Ok, even though I'm a wizard that doesn't mean it requires me to go up against a literal Demon Slayer", Schmendrick confessed, "Seriously, I'm only useful when it comes to turning things or entertainment. Not combat".
0000000000000000000000000
Schmendrick returns, panting to himself after a long run to get back here. Giving a thumb up, "Ok, ok, I'm back! Let's..uhh, do this!"
"Alright then!" Imani continued, "Please step forth on the platform".
Zenitsu gulped himself, ensuring if he made the right decision. He only picked Schmendrick out of desperation, and thought he would be harmless, based on the way he looked.
Perhaps he felt a little regret inside him.
"You seem to be trembling, Monsieur", Mole remarked, feeling concern for the lad. With his goggle contraption zooming in at him.
"Is it because he hasn't gone to the bathroom?", Chowder assumes, "Because I can relate. I sometimes act this way whenever I'm doing my job".
"Nah, he's just going through a pussy phase", Jules said.
"I'm not!" Zenitsu replied.
"Listen dude, we are counting on you to win", Sonic told him, "Just cool down and remain focused".
"Yeah as if…that's going to help", He said, approaching the ring platform.
As he made his way onto the steps, Ruby asked some of her teammates, "Ummm, does anyone know if he's capable of inflicting harm on someone"
"He does have his sword with him. I presume he can slice things with it", Mole said.
"He was probably terrible at it", Fia commented.
"I did see him training once", Megaman added.
( Flashback ).
Cut to Zenitsu skipping through the middle of the forest near a flowing river, where he happily and flockingly going through the long, lush field of grass, enjoying himself with fresh air.
With no signs of stress or fear within him.
He even laughed joyfully to himself, holding his sword out and slicing his problem away, "Finally! Fresh alone time! Clean air! Clean grass! Not a single sign of anything that is likely going to give me a stroke".
"Hey man! What's up" Megaman came by him with a greeting and wave, causing Zenitus to scream without turning.
He ran and hit himself at a tree, but this didn't knock him out. Instead, he uses his sword to slice it, causing the tree to collapse and fall.
Falling slowly onto him, before he could open his eye and see what it was.
But even then, it was too late. The tree has crushed him, leaving Megaman completely stunned.
( Flashback ended ).
"Or maybe that wasn't training", Megaman said, confused by what he saw from that day.
Before Schmendrick would head to the ring, he had a few moments to discuss this with his team.
"Ok guys, listen", Schmendrick confessed, "I don't know if I could do this. I'm not ready for this. I'm not even sure if my magic spell could work against a literal slayer of demons".
"Wizard dude, relax", Mabel assured him, "When I'm in the middle of distress, I always throw pocket pixel dust at my enemies eyes. That's usually how I win a battle".
"Try your best, Schmendrick", Sinestro told him, "Nobody is pressuring you".
"Yes, we don't want a quivering, panicking fool to cause our loss", Ratcliffe states, confronting him and wrapping his arm around him for comfort, "We just need someone able to push our opponent off the ring, that's all. Remember lad?"
"Ummm yeah, you got that right".
"Good", Ratcliffe said, lowering his calm and kind gesture to more of a strict pushover, "Now get out there and beat his hideous face out of the ring".
After pushing Schmendrick onto the ring, he was now face to face with Zenitsu.
While the Demon Slayer himself is gripping his sword out with both his grip, sweating intensity and shivering with anxiety, Schmendrick simply stares at him, thinking to himself, "Ok, all I need to do is push off the ring. Yeah, that's it. Just push off the ring".
Then a realization came by him just taking a glance at him.
He remarks, feeling a bit bad for him and coming to a realization that his opponent isn't that much of a threat, "Wow, why am I even being intimidated by this guy. By assumption alone, I think I could somewhat beat this guy….still, I wish I was a powerful wizard".
Back to the spectators, Hilda was curious about the magician's ability, as she asked Guybrush, assuming he knows the answer since he seems to hang out with him recently, "So Guy, is your friend good at magic or not?"
"Oh, you asking me?" Guybrush asked.
"I mean, I do notice you hanging out and chatting with him, lately. I just thought you…probably know more about him".
"I guess your right", Guybrush replied, "But yeah…he's…alright with magic".
"By alright, you mean-?"
"Well…to be honest, he's not really good with magic per say, but he is capable of conjuring up magic".
"So he doesn't really fully know how to control it".
"Yep. But don't worry, I'm betting he's going to nail this round. Well, I hope he does".
Hilda was left confused, as back to the ring Schmendrick decided to do his first move on him, as he began his chant of spell, "Great spirit of the wind! I demand a burning blow to send him off the land!"
00000000000000000000000000000
"So I was trying to command wind to blow violently in order to push him off the ring", Schmendrick confessed, "Now the problem was….I sometimes can't remember the spell correctly".
00000000000000000000000000000
Suddenly, Zenitsu is engulfed in flames, screaming and running around, much to the shock of everyone, with the exception of Sinestro, who was simply surprised by it.
"Oh god!" Schmendrick exclaimed.
"Wow! I did not expect that to happen from a wimpy wizard!", Captain Hero pointed out.
"Crud! Gotta think fast!" Schmendrick thought, desperately chanting another spell, this time trying to get rid of the flames, "Entity of the sea itself! I request a ridding of flame on this unfortunate soul by any means!"
Just then, a splash of yellow liquid came down onto Zenitsu, getting rid of the flames, as well as making him soak wet and calming him down, "Phew, it's over…..wait, why does it smell like pee?"
"Ok, this is my perfect chance. This time, I hope I get this right!" Schmendrick thought, now proceeding to use another spell, hoping the outcome will match what he was thinking, "Great spirit of the Earth itself! I request a huge force to get rid of this opponent! Either away swiftly or slowly!"
Soon the ground began to shake, as Zenitsu could feel his position being rumbling, until finally a tree sprung out. Elongating and growing.
The tree rose higher and higher, with Zenitsu being caught among the branches, panicking as a result.
Schmendrick is completely stunned at his spell. Granted, the magic still works for him, but not how he expected.
"A tree? Seriously?" I could've sworn I demanded a gush of wind to blow him out of the ring", Schmendrick said to himself.
Soon the tree stopped way above the sky. Zenitsu managed to poke his head out of the leafs, spitting out a few tiny sticks and leaf.
Once he looked down, high above the ground itself, his jaw dropped. Eyes widen and completely screaming, "AAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHH! I'M WAY TOO HIIIIIIIIGH!"
Down back on Earth, some of the contestants were in awe of it, while others ( Mostly the Blazing Badnik ) were worrying for Zenitsu life here.
"Well I am quite impressed, Schmendrick", Ratcliffe remarked, "I see your spell has finally turned out for the better".
"Ummm actually…I didn't really intentionally mean to grow a tree", Schmendrick replied, feeling uncertain whether he should feel proud or not.
"Now what?" Hilda asked the host.
"Uhh I guess we'll wait and see if Zenitsu will land back into the ring", Imani replied, "Hope it doesn't take too long".
"Looks like a good tree to climb", Aisling remarked.
Fia saw this as an opportunity to make her move with gaining some new allies. That being, Yuffie and Neptune.
She approached them, starting up a conversation between them, "So you two, it seems like we are not in a good position right now, huh?"
"Of course", Neptune replied, "Seriously, I thought the Demon Slayer guy would do something cool, but I guess I shouldn't have my hopes up".
"Honestly, I'm kinda more disappointed by the wizard", Yuffie said, "I was kinda expecting there to be some awesome light show or something like that. Like seriously, a couple of matches, piss, and a tree".
"You do know if he does something like that, our team would've lose, right?"
"Eh, at least it'll make things more interesting".
"Ah Yes, I can see", Fia said, "Maybe I could make things more interesting. You know, lighting things up a bit".
"Where are you getting here?" Neptune".
"I've been thinking of forming an alliance". Between you girls and Mr. Satan back there".
"And why should we join you?" Yuffie asked.
"Yeah, I'm feeling some suspicions around you intent", Neptune added, very doubtful about her proposal.
"Look I'll be honest with you two, I have…complicated feelings with our leader".
"I can see why".
"Really?" Fia asked, quite surprised to see them be aware of her internal hatred with the blue speeder.
"Yea, you think we are too oblivious to not notice you having a grudge against Sonic", Neptune said, "I mean, you're not really good at keeping it a secret".
"Is anyone aware of that?" Fia asked, "Including Sonic".
"Pretty much", Yuffie said. "Although I think Sonic finds this more humorous than anything".
"Why am I not surprised," Fia said, "Anyways, we are getting off topic here, I despise what our leader is doing. I suggest we form our own alliance to combat him".
"And what's in it for us?" Neptune asked.
"Well I'm certain you guys won't trust me, due to the likelihood I'll do something that will vote one of you off, so here's the thing. I'll not only try to not vote for any of you, as well as after we through with this, we split the money and I can burn any of what you deem as enemies back at home. As long as you do my bidding alone. That being, getting rid of Sonic. What do you say?"
"Hmmm…the idea of having a demon by my side to burn someone does sound promising", Neptune said, "What am I saying, this sounds brilliant".
"Yeah, I could totally go with it", Yuffie agreed as well.
"Good. I'm glad you two took my offer.
000000000000000000000
"What can I say? I'm good at convincing people", Fia said, "Now that I got three fools in my alliance, it gives me more advantage at voting off Sonic".
0000000000000000000000
Just then, a rustle happened way above the top of the tree, only seen by a view individual, particularly Schmendrick.
It was vague to him, since it was way above, only making out from the several leafs falling down. He then noticed that the rustling began to be apparent by the indication of its descent.
As it descended further and further down, the sound of it began to become louder and louder.
Schmendrick stood, confused by what's going on, until that confusion soon vanished, as what fall before him shocked everyone.
Coming down roughly and loudly were a bunch of dead squirrels. Rabies squirrels to be precise.
Schmendrick and some of the fellow contestants were appalled by the sight, some of them gag, others were a bit surprised by it.
"Oh my god!" Schmendrick exclaimed.
"Holy cr*p! I gotta need someone to edit the guts and blood out", Imani remarked.
Lisa was more horrified compared to the rest of the competitors, even commenting, "I think I'm going to vomit".
Suddenly, from one of the corpses there appears to be a bump. Several bumps form, until it eventually reveals itself to be Zenitsu, bursting out from the corpse with his sword.
Blood and guts splatter everywhere as he roars, causing Schmendrick to be startled and back away.
"I still liiiiiiiiiiiive!" He screamed.
"Jesus Christ! He's alive!" Jules shouted, "And is covered in blood".
"Does that count as disqualification?" Guybrush asked the host, "Because he's clearly showing some blood shed".
"Eh, it's happening to another competitor".
"Ok, it seems like my magic isn't doing anything good", Schmendrick remarked, "Time to move on with my next strategy".
Without expecting it, Schmendrick then toss what appear to be dirt at Zenitsu eyes, causing him to scream and start swinging his sword around, "Something got in my eye!"
It works, however this makes it worse as Zenitsu began to rush at Schmendrick, much to his startelement.
He tried to dodge, but got struck behind his back, leaving him a scar.
Unfortunately, he landed outside the ring, much to some of the dismay of his teammate, especially Ratcliffe.
"Oooooh that's going to leave a mark", Imani said, "Well since that doesn't count as total blood shed, looks like the Blazing Badnik has won this round!"
The Blazing Badnik cheered for Zenitsu.
As for him, he stopped and opened his eyes, hearing the news and louds cheers coming from his team.
"Wait, we won?" Realization came, resulting in him laughing a little, then out loud by the news, "Yes! We won! We won!"
0000000000000000000000000000
"That was totally outrageous!" Ratcliffe disapproved, complaining about what just happened, "There were several advantages he could've done and he managed to foil it! IT makes me infuriated by my own men. More so than that idiot boy who doesn't know how to use a gun or-or John Smith!"
0000000000000000000000000000
"Jeez sorry guys", Schmendrick apologized, scratching his head, still laying out the ground as two Berbils came for his aid in treating his scar wound, "I wasn't really fully prepared to participate in the challenge".
"Hey, it's alright", Guybrush assured him, "It's not your fault for getting confused with your own spell".
"I literally use my spell on myself to always remember it!"
'Wait, seriously?" Steam Lad asked, "Well no offense, but it's no wonder you can't come up with the correct one, if you literally made up a spell about remembering certain things".
"Honestly, you should've been more..I don't know, less paralysed by the fact that dude just KILL A BUNCH OF SQUIRRELS!" B.W. Dee mention.
"Hopefully it doesn't happen again, right?", Ratcliffe stated to him, emphasizing the failure as a threat, which Schmendrick understood, gulped and nodded.
"Alright everyone, let's move on with our next competitor!" Imani announced, putting his hand in the box and pulling out a name tag, "Reg!"
The sudden announcement of Reg took him completely off. Sure, he knew there's a likely chance he would be participating in this, but not as someone to choose his own competitor.
"Wait, does that mean I-" Before Reg could finish, Imani knew what he was going to say and answer it.
"Yep! You get to pick which competitors from the other team will be your opponent".
"Woohoo! Way to go Reg", Mabel said, seeing this as a good thing, as she slapped him behind his back, even congratulating him, "Looks like it's your time to shine, brotha!"
"But..I'm not really the best at picking opponents", Reg told him.
"Well I guess you have to speak among your team to decide, dude", Imani suggested.
"What do you guys think?" Reg asked his teams, feeling a bit wary about this.
"I say you should go with Sonic!" B.W. Dee suggested.
But Steam Lad thought otherwise, asking, "Why?"
"Uhhh because he's awesome".
"You do realize he's super fast, right?" Kate Alen told him.
"Yeah but…I mean….you get total infamy for fighting Sonic".
"Maybe you should go with Sinestro", Dororo sarcastically suggested as a joke, with Sinestro taking offense to that.
"Ahem".
Dororo rolled her eyes, suggesting another opponent, "Fine. Why not face off non-fighters like Lisa or Silence".
"I don't want to face non-fighters", Reg replied, "It doesn't make me look right if I fight one of them".
"Perhaps try facing off that somewhat mirrors you," Tsuyu suggested, "I heard somewhere that it is destined for a hero or villain to face one another based on their similar quality, despite their differences. In other words, it's like seeing a perfect rival".
"Uhh yeah Reg! Try choosing your polar opposite rival!" Bob agrees heavily, "That's a good idea. Good interesting insight, Froppy".
"Umm…..yeah"
Reg thought about it. He glances toward the other team and does see one person somewhat matching his ability in a way.
After thinking this through, he turns around and announces, "I pick Megaman!"
"Whoa really, little guy?" Megaman asked, quite surprised by the response, along with some of his team mates, "You seriously want to pick me?"
Reg nodded.
"Alright, I see no problem with that".
"You're literally going to pick a fight with a kid? Fia asked.
"Hey I'm going to be easy on him", Megaman said, "I'm not a jerk, you know".
"Just to let you know, try your best", Sonic mentions, "Good luck".
"Thanks", Megaman nodded, as he and Reg approached onto the platform, facing one another.
Megaman gave a kind gesture of greetings, waving his hand at him, "Hi, let's make this a good fight".
Reg nodded, "Right".
Both position themselves, with Reg having his right leg back and his left leg at front. His left arm out, forming as a defensive.
Megaman crouches a little, then moving his right arm back and fisting it, while using his left as a defensive.
He smirked, while Reg gave a serious, blank expression.
After a small moment of anticipation, Imani finally blew the whistle to begin.
Reg launches himself swiftly and quickly at him, leaving Megaman completely off guard, as he dodge out of the way.
He uses his sliding ability to avoid his upcoming attack.
Once the dust cleared, Reg turned and saw Megaman using his Mega buster to aim and fire at him with solar energy bullets.
Reg did what he did and quickly dodge by running around the circle, away from every shot.
The impact of the shot landing into the ground results in sprouts of dust clouds, with some of the contestants having a hard time seeing.
"Same speed, same thought process", Megaman thought, "I gotta say, I'm kinda impressed".
Instantly, Reg jumps in the air, ejecting his grappling hand and grabbing onto Megaman arm, where his Mega buster is located.
Much to Megaman startle. Before he could react further, Reg ( Still in mid air ) proceeded to pull him up and throw him back down to the ground with a mighty force, causing the platform to crack.
This level of intensity became relevant to some of the competitors.
"Go Reg!" Mabel cheer, "You got this!"
"Yeah Reg! Don't give up!" Hilda added.
While everyone was cheering, Red Skull took notice of Sinestro's reaction. He realizes the Yellow Lantern himself isn't reacting much at all throughout the duration of this time.
This made Red Skull wonder, "Odd, he's not emoting any excitement or harassment. What is he thinking about?"
Back to the battle ring, once Reg landed back on the ground, Megaman slowly got up, with some slight bruises here and there.
Megaman, despite being sent down onto the hard ground, was quite impressed, even complimenting the boy, "I'm impressed kid. Didn't think you were that strong enough to do that".
"Oh, umm thanks", Reg said, positioning himself once again for another round, as Megaman still isn't out of the ring.
Megaman hand gestures to him to strike, as Reg did just that.
He ran at him, rushing at him with his fist out and screaming. He hit, but Megaman use his left hand to grab his fist.
Due to Reg only having one arm at his disposal, he was unable to do anything, other than try in an attempt to remove himself from his grip.
He managed to have his hands released from the grip. Leaping backward and landing further away from Megaman. He then
uses his grapple arm once more, only Megaman manages to hit it off and charge right at him.
Reg was stunned by that hit. His reaction didn't last long, as he saw Megaman running toward him.
Megaman tries to grab in an attempt to possibly copy his ability. Sure, there was the unlikely hood it won't work, but he had to try.
Reg avoided what he was doing by moving slightly away from him. He then retracted his arm back as a way to knock him down, but Megaman caught sight of it and moved away from it before he could get hit.
Once his arm retracted back, Reg stood there. Breathing heavily from all the fighting ability he had to utilize.
He wondered, "This guy is stronger than I thought. I wonder how I'm going to beat him?"
Then Reg thought of something. He had doubts at first, but he was desperate to win this. No matter how risky it is.
Reg uses his retractable arm to eject and grab Megaman's arm.
At first, Megaman thought he could simply grab it and take it off or use it to his advantage.
However unknown to him, Reg proceeded to run around the ring, much to some of the contestant's confusion.
"Uhh what is he doing?" Chowder asked.
"I think he's trying to…" Lisa gasps, "Tie him up!"
Reg kept running around in a circle. Running and running until eventually he stopped at the perfect moment.
Megaman is under restraint by Reg arms that are all wrapped around him.
Unable to shuffle himself out, Reg then moved Megaman around, readying to throw him off the ring.
Megaman took notice of what he was going to do, as he stomped his boot down on the ground to prevent it.
Although it made him get closer to the tip of the ring, he managed to stop before he could reach it.
As a result, Megaman saw an opportunity he could use at his advantage.
Grinning to himself, he stood and began to move his body. Once he is able to balance himself, he turns his body.
Reg, having no time to react, is forced into plunging into a strong spine, constructed by the idea of Megaman.
After a full long seconds of spinning, Megaman is finally released from his clutches and toss Reg out of the ring, landing him onto the ground right in front of his team.
"Reg is out of the ring! Meaning! Megaman has gained his team a point!" Imani announces, causing his team to cheer for him.
The other team, however, were left in disappointment, with the exception of Mabel, who was in distress because of Reg's likely injury, "Reg!"
"Great job, dude! Way to go!" Sonic cried out.
"Amazing!" Chowder added.
"Bravo! Bravo!" Mole claps.
"Pff, it wasn't that impressive", Fia commented.
"Thanks guys", Megaman said, approaching them, "See? Told ya I wasn't going to hurt the little fellow".
While Reg tries to get up, a hand is lower for him in need of assistance. That hand was Sinestro, telling him, "It's alright, you try your best. We'll beat them in the next round".
Sinestro assurement made Reg feel relieved and took up his hand offer, which Dororo saw and felt completely flabbergasted.
00000000000000000000
"Oh yeah, start acting all caring and nice all of a sudden", Dororo sarcastically commented, "Am I sounding mean? No. I'm just having a hard time believing Sinestro is doing something this nice out of sincerity".
0000000000000000000
"Are you okay? Did that evil machine inject some kind of poisonous virus in you?" Mabel asked Reg, checking over his body, even grabbing his arm and licking it a bit, "Taste suspicious".
"I'm fine, Mabel", Reg assured her, moving his arm away from her, "He didn't inject me with anything".
"Oh…right! Heheheheh, sorry about that", Mabel apologizes, rubbing her arm awkwardly, "Just want to make sure your not hurt or anything".
"Surprise your not angry by this", Red Skull said to Sinestro, referring to his calm composure".
"Why should I?"
"The other team is gaining an advantage over us".
"Yes, our stasis so far has been quite dire", Ratcliffe told him.
"I can assure you two that sooner or later, the tide will turn", Sinestro told them.
00000000000000000000000000
"Sinestro may be smart for certain things", Red Skull confesses, "However, his ways of handling things is infuriating to me. He thinks too confidently by himself. Sure, I sometimes do the same, but at least I know how to not act too confident when it comes to failure in sight".
00000000000000000000000000
"Next up for our roster is…" Imani pulled out a tag and announced it, only this time some slight dread began to linger in his tone, "Captain Hero".
Captain Hero gasps, thrilled to hear his name, "OH MY GOD! I'M PICK! PICK! WOOHOO!"
"Uhhh Hero, remember our plan", Lisa reminds him, but this reminder refuses to be acknowledged, as Hero put's it.
"Plan? What plan?! I'm finally chosen to participate!"
"Uhh Hero, you do realize we are saving you for last, right? You know? For the new competitor".
"Well I cannot wait for it anymore, alright?!" Hero told them, "I need some fighting in my life! And this is the perfect time! And besides, we are near the likely end of this game".
"Ummm no we are not", Yuffie told him.
"Actually, he is correct", Killinger states, "We are near the final round to be precise. This round will be the last for your team to gain the upperhand, but it will also be the risen equal that must be broken. For this round your team will be put in a two lane freeway, where you must choose each path wisely. Will you pick the one that is weaker before you or the strongest".
"Pfff that's easy!" Captain Hero said, shrugging off the seriousness from his tone, "I choose Sinestro!"
This surprise choice shocked Lego Batman the most, out of all of his team members, "What?!"
000000000000000000
"Sinestro?! Seriously?" Lego Batman complained, "That buffon chose the evil moustache as his opponent? What was he thinking?! I mean granted, he's not my Sinestro, but I'm fully aware he's easy to take down, if you remove his ring!"
0000000000000000000
"Let's do this!" Captain Hero yelled, flying and crashing to the ring platform with his fist breaking the ground.
He stood up, clenching his fist together, and readying himself to fight, "I am going to enjoy beating the pansy out of this lovely person".
"That's…fine, oddly complimentary of you", Sinestro said, floating him to the platform with his ring, "Not that I was expecting much of it".
"You may have that ring with you!" Captain Hero stated, pointing his finger at him, "But what you don't have is my charm!"
"Your charm?" Sinestro raises an eyebrow.
"Yeah, my charm!"
Sinestro sighs to him, clenching his fist in readiness, "Let just get this over with".
"Alright then. Begin!" Imani announced.
Captain Hero made the first response by flying himself at him, giving out a loud roar in order to make himself seem threatening.
All a while Sinestro stood there, arm crossed, and looking unphased by him.
Hero thought to himself, "Man, it's great I'm finally doing something with my fist other than ejaculation. I was afraid this show would be boring. Let's see what this moron is cap-"
Before he could finish, a yellow fist punched him in the face, sending him crumbling on the ground.
Fortunately for him, he wasn't out of the ring, but it did make him a bit baffled as he got up.
"Ow! What the heck did you do?" Captain Hero asked.
"I use my ring", Sinestro straight up told him, "You clearly underestimate what I was capable of, did you?"
"No! I did not! I was just…uhh..testing you! Yeah! Testing you!"
"Oh god", Sinestro said, feeling embarrassed by him, pinching his forehead from that claim.
"Now face my wrath as I-" Before Captain Hero could finish, he is immediately smashed down on the ground by a giant, yellow hammer.
Sinestro did this three, four, five, six, seven times, until eventually he stopped.
Hero slowly, but bruised up, tries to gain some leverage, as he tries to say, "Ha! That did not hurt an inch, you-"
Before he could finish, Sinestro smashed him again.
"Alien!"
He did again.
"Pink"
Then again.
"Panther".
And again.
"Wait, that doesn't sound like a good come-"
And again and again, hitting him dozens of times until eventually Hero is out unconscious.
Laying on the ground, crooked and scarred.
The Yellow Lantern then proceeds to construct a yellow shovel, using it to scoop Captain Hero and tossing him out the ring.
"Huh, that was easy", Imani said, "Looks like the Powerful Porky gain themselves another point!"
The Powerful Porky cheered for Sinestro, with the exception of a few like Red Skull and Dororo, who were unimpressed by it.
As Sinestro descends down, his fellow teammates congratulate him.
"That was easy, man", Kate complimented him, "Good job".
"Yeah! I could've sworn he would've pound ya", B.W. Dee said.
"That was wonderful", Marx added.
"Yeah, really, really wonderful", Dororo sarcastically said, rolling her eyes and muttering, "Not like he would've handle it better without his ring".
"Dororo!"
"What? I'm being honest about it. There's nothing to congratulate him about, if he easily manages to beat him".
"Dororo, what's been up with you?" Kate asked, "You've been acting a bit harsher toward him".
"Yeah, like why though? Because we won thanks to him?", Guybrush asked her, "What's wrong with that?"
"What's wrong? I'm not angry because we won. I'm just not liking the fact you guys are being hugely happy about the fact he won with his ring".
"Dororo, I think you need to relax," Steam Lad told her, "I think your getting way hung over with Sinestro winning".
"I don't need to relax! You know what", Dororo said, turning around and walking off, "I'm leaving. If you guys need me, I'll be at a nearby pond, away from him".
"Wait! Dororo-" Before Reg could stopped her, Sinestro prevented that by saying, "Let her go".
"But-?"
"She'll be fine. She just need some alone time because of being under pressure by me winning. She'll get over it. I'm sure of it".
As for the other team, Captain Hero returns to his team, feeling great pain from what happened earlier.
It only got worse when Fia started mocking him, "Great job, HERO. Clearly you were outmatched by a purple man with a ring".
Captain Hero simply growls at her with the thought of wanting to kill her.
"You know I don't think this is a good idea to point the blame at him right now", Lisa told her.
"Or what? He's going to tear me into pieces. Please. He can't even take down a guy with a ring. And he calls himself, "Captain Hero"".
00000000000000000000000
"Ok, to those who complain that I was being too cocky in the fight, let me tell you something", Captain Hero said, going from being serious and defensive, to breaking down whining, "It's unfair! I should've won that round! Me! Captain Hero! Not that mustachio!"
000000000000000000000000
Somewhere else at a pond, Dororo sat on a log and proceeded to throw some rocks into it.
She sat there, alone and sighing to herself, all a while mumbling to herself, "Oh Sinestro, you doing great. Oh Sinestro, I'm glad we won this round thanks to you. Sinestro, Sinestro. God, just hearing his name makes me sick".
"I can relate, child".
Suddenly, a voice startled her, making her turn to see Cherieng in her normal form, looking down at her.
"Oh, it's you", Dororo asked, "What do you want?"
"Nothing. Just some peace and quiet. I seem to notice your disdain over him, child".
"Don't call me a child", Dororo told her, "And yeah, I am angry at him. I can't stand anybody just blindly appreciating him. The only guy who's wary of him is Red Skull and from what I see of him, he isn't much of a great guy. Not that I'm surprised, considering the way he looks, sound, and name".
Oh, do not feel too frustrated. I feel the same way as you. Him hogging the spotlight. Him acting all nice and dandy, all a while the fools refuse to see the facade he's hiding. It's no wonder they listen to you".
"Yeah, you are right".
"I am. Which is why we should work together".
This got Dororo's attention, "Huh?"
"Think about it. We both have a hatred toward someone, we both are wary of Sinestro, and we both require some kind of listener".
"Wait, you were literally just trying to convince me to join you, aren't you?"
"Maybe. Likely so. I know your not interested in forming an alliance with me".
"Of course not. I mean, just by one look I can tell you not a pretty person from the outside and the inside".
"OH WHAT DID YOU SAY ABOUT MY OUT-" Cherieng paused, calming herself. Restraining herself from using harsh language, as she continues with her calm composure, "Understandable. But if you ever want to form an alliance with me, just remember I'm always there for your need".
Cherieng chuckled, as she turned around and went off, leaving Dororo alone.
It was obvious for Dororo that she knew she wasn't meant to be trusted. After all, she sees what she usually does and is capable of doing bad things.
But at the same time, she is only the few that are aware of Sinestro's sinister intention, other than herself.
This made her think, sitting down once again and pondering over, as Cherieng was further away, grinning to herself.
"Ok everyone, we are down to three to three points!", Imani announced, "Meaning we have reached the end of our round! Now since I promise the Blazing Badnik that they will be facing a new opponent, I decided that their final contestants being chosen to face off this new guy will be-"
"Me! It's obviously going to be me", Fia states.
This left her team puzzled by that choice, some even disagreeing with her being their contender.
"Umm why?" Neptune asked.
"Because I want to face this new mortal off, and to show everyone what I am capable of by beating it. I haven't fought for a long time".
"Could've just waited until we have another challenge relating to fighting", Sonic suggested.
"NO!"
"Ok, ok, sheesh".
'Uhh actually, I was going to say-" Before Imani could say anything, Killinger whispered to him, which made him go along with Fia's offer, "Ok then, totally cool with it".
"I am pleased to hear that. So who's this new opponent I have to face?" Fia asked, walking up onto the ring, "You state he's going to be our new team member, correct?"
"If you manage to beat him", Imani told her, "This guy is not only powerful, but very dangerous. So much so, I have doubts you might beat him".
"Please, it doesn't matter what he is, he's a mortal compared to me".
Suddenly, everyone heard a calm laughter coming from the forest before them. A laughter that brings great worries and suspicions.
"Mortal you say? How naive for you to assume that, demon", the voice said, as the chuckle continued once he revealed himself to them, coming out of the forest.
The man was tall. Pale skin, blond hair, wearing nothing but baggy pants, holding an elongated staff, and has rings attached behind his back with four drums.
"And who may you be, stranger!" Fia demanded.
"Your new opponent or potentially, a fellow competitor", The man replied.
"Everyone! This is Eneru!" Imani announces, "A god from a moon in a different universe".
"So this will be my opponent", Eneru stepped toward the platform, "Quite an odd look for a demon".
"Wait, he's a god?" B.W. Dee asked.
"Yep, well….technically he's not but-" Before Imani could continue stating the struth, Eneru gave him a harsh glance, resorting to Imani having to reverse his claim, "Actually yes, he's a god! A totally, real god!"
"He looks menacing", Silence remarks.
"Whatever", Fia comments, feeling un-bother by him, "It doesn't matter if your a god, I'm still going to burn you".
"Then do it. I'll allow you to strike first, woman".
Fia smirked, then replied, "Alright then".
She proceeded to open her mouth and blasted a twister of flames at him, with Eneru just standing there with no reaction.
Everyone shielded themselves from the immense light and heat coming from it. Once she finished, she stood there, waiting for the smoke to clear up.
She hoped that her opponent would be defeated. Hoping to show off an example of her great power and potential. Hoping nobody screws with her.
But once the smoke cleared, her hope was gone, bringing in shock by the sight of it.
Despite having some burn stains and bruises, he remains unharmed by it. Much to the surprise of everyone around them.
He looked unamuse, even bored by it.
"Was that all?" Eneru asked.
Fia growl, "No, that was just a warm up!"
As she began to lit up her hands into flames and proceeded to throw fireballs at him. Tons of them. Blowing every last blow at him.
But once the smoke cleared up, Eneru still remained standing, much to her shock again.
Eneru simply chuckled, "Nice blow. Now it's my turn".
He then aimed his staff at her, saying these chilling, simple lines, "One million bolts…..body".
Everything became silent once the strike went off. The reaction in Fia's face was petrified by it, as everyone can only see a shock of light, then a loud boom, capping off with a large explosion with electricity.
Everyone shielded themselves once again, as the light began to lower itself, revealing the aftermath.
Fia lay on the ground, all burned up and severely defeated on the outside of the ring.
Eneru smirks, seeing that his opponent has finally fallen. This pleases him.
"And there you have it! Eneru has won!" Imani declares, "Which means, the Powerful Porky's won!"
The Blazing Badniks were in dismay once again. Meanwhile, the Powerful Porky's were thrilled to hear the news. However, some remain skeptical. Not because they won, but mostly from their newcomers.
"Yep, Eneru", Imani said to him, "Go introduce yourself to your new team. I'm sure they'll be happy to have you included".
"Ah yes, new followers", Eneru turned toward them, "What interesting bunch I may add. Truly ones I can tolerate more compared to my previous ones".
"Oh great", Steam Lad commented, "You are one of those types of gods".
"What was that?" Eneru asked, threateningly.
"Nothing".
"Welcome to our team", Sinestro greet, "I'm certain you going to be a good asset to our team".
"Hmmm yes, so do", Eneru replied, frowning at him, by taking notice of his ring. He seem to have some….doubts about this man.
"I'm cool with having new guys on our team", Kate whispers to Tsuyu, "But there's something up with him that I'm not sure what".
"Yeah, I got that feeling too".
"Hi! My name is Bandana Waddle Dee!" B.W. Dee introduced himself, holding his hand out, "But you can call me, B.W. Dee".
"And…what kind of species are you?" Eneru asked him.
"I'm…..a Waddle Dee".
"A Waddle Dee? Never heard of it".
"Well it..only exists in my world, sooo…."
While everyone was meeting with Eneru, not everyone was there to greet him.
One in particular was hiding behind the tree this whole time. Cherieng, having seen everything fay away from them.
It would seem she hold some interest over this new member.
0000000000000000000000000000000000
"It seems my followers consist of creatures that I am not familiar with", Eneru remarked, "That doesn't matter. None of it matters. As long as I have my followers, I will ensure that my strength will grow. And if I'm lucky, I may convert this island as my second new domain! First being my Moon, of course".
00000000000000000000000000000000000
Fia lay there, defeated. Her team approached her, some feeling bad for her or pity, while others were disappointed.
"This was…humiliating", Fia muttered.
"Oh you sweet darling", Captain Hero said, starting his tone off as remorse, until eventually coming around it. Going full on rudely pointing at her and shouting, "AHA! KARMA A B*TCH?! ISN'T?!"
"Shut up! Just-just shut up!" Fia said, "I can't believe I was lost by some mortal pretending to be god".
"Wait, is he or is he not god?" Ruby asked.
"I don't know!"
"Welp, at least you try", Sonic told her, trying to bring something positive about it, "I mean, we can't technically fault ya for losing. I mean, none of us are capable of knowing the new guy's ability".
"Oh will you just shut the hell up!" Fia told everyone, "I would've handle the situation better, if I-"
"If you what? Gain electric power?" Jules asked, "Oh wait, you don't. And here you are, all burn up because of it".
"I will make your life a living hell if you keep talking", Fia said, "Same with all of you!"
"Speaking of, am I the only one that is fully concerned about the new person", Zenitsu asked, feeling the most worried of the bunch, as there is now a huge concern with them being in a disadvantage.
00000000000000000000000000000000
"It was unfortunate that we lost", Fia confessed, "But none of that matters. Right now, Sonic needs to go. He didn't participate or do anything other than some small cheering. Luckily, I got my alliance on my side".
000000000000000000000000
"Well, this sucks", Jules said, "But hey, it does give me an advantage to who I'm voting for".
000000000000000000
"I can tell my team is not in a good mood", Lisa said, "Hopefully we can get back on track soon. The other team is seriously strong enough to beat us. I'm hoping I'll try to improve my team in some way. Even if it is going to be difficult".
0000000000000000000000000
At the mess hall, the Powerful Porky decided to converse with their new team member, Eneru.
Some were interested in him, others remained skeptical, and some were neutral.
As for Eneru, he seems pleased by the kind and intriguing gesture coming from his followers.
"Ok, so this is the mess hall where you eat", B.W. Dee explained to him, "Sure, it may look a bit dirty and rough at first glance, but the food here is amazing. You love it".
"And also, I love what your wearing", Mabel then asked, "Are those 90s baggy pants or what?"
"I am gratefully flattered by your many questions", Eneru replied, "But as you all must know, I am not familiar with many of your own customs".
"That's ok! We'll teach all the ways we do here as a team", Mabel told him, "Right guys?"
Kate Alen: "Yeah, certainly".
Tsuyu: "Totally agreeable".
Bob: "I can agree".
Marx: "We love to help".
"If you expect me to help", Red Skull told him, "Don't bother. I'm not interested in helping the likes of you".
"Not much of a kind fellow I see", Eneru remarked.
"Umm don't mind Red Skull", Kate told him, "He's not one of the kindest folks in our team".
"I see", Eneru said, "It doesn't matter wether you are nice or not. The only thing that matters if all of you are good enough for me to tolerate, and possibly…be good followers of mine".
"Are you suggesting we'll just worship you?" Sinestro asked him.
"Hmm, that's optional. Although I wouldn't mind it. After all, I am a god".
"AHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! A god?! Yeah right", Suddenly they all turned and saw Cherieng, leaning near the doorway, much to everyone's surprise.
"Oh, there's that witch", Ratcliffe said, "I was confused where she went off to".
"And what perfect timing, even", Steam Lad commented.
"And who may you be?" Eneru asked.
"I am Cherieng", She introduce herself, "And as you know, I'm not fond over someone claiming to be god".
"Oh, so you have something against me?" Eneru asked, smirking, much to the concern of everyone in the room.
"Not against. Just…expressing my tiny dislike for those who claim to be one. Especially those with power that…interest me".
"Ah, so your interested in power. How about I'll give you a taste. Will that be enough?"
"Hoho, I would love too".
There was obvious tension among them. Eneru had already gave off a terrible presence that it would seem a new conflict has arisen between those who are against him, or those who are not.
Fortunately, this silent tension ended, as Kate spoke up, "Ummmm hey Marx and Dee, how about you show Eneru to his cabin. I'm sure he'll love to sleep with you guys".
"No need", Eneru got up, "I would rather find somewhere else to set up my own domain, thank you".
As he made his way out of the door, he stopped by Cherieng side, both not looking directly to each other.
He only stopped to make his statement to her, "Just to let you know, I'm not easily a fool to be beaten".
"I understand, but I can't say I'm quite impressed by you bravery. You may be in the same team as I am, but do know that your not the only one with mighty god power".
"Hmph, we'll see. I'll be happy to see what your capable of".
Once he left, the room was silent. No one knows what to think of it. None.
Eventually, Mabel broke the silence by remarking, "Welp, seems like I'm sensing love at first sight".
"Wait, you thought I was in love with him?" Cherieng asked.
"Uhhh duh, wasn't that obvious?"
0000000000000000000000000000
"I'm concerned about this", Steam Lad confessed, "I don't trust Cherieng, nor do I trust the new guy. Either way, I have a lot of things to maintain".
0000000000000000000
"I'm beginning to like the new guy", Marx confessed, "Sure, the way he speak does weirder me out in a way, but overall he seems like a cool fellow".
00000000000000000000000000000
"I'll have to keep an eye on this Eneru fellow", Sinestro said, "He seems like a potential threat by the look of it. If I may assume, he's definitely the type to try to take over as leader. I'm going to make sure that doesn't happen".
0000000000000000000000000
Meanwhile, at the elimination ceremony.
All of the members from the Blazing Badnik were there, as the host stood there, holding a tray of cookies.
"Okay everyone, you know the drill", Imani said, "Whoever gets a cookie remains in the game. And the one that does not will leave forever. So let us begin".
"Megaman".
"Zenitsu".
"Sonic.
"Silence".
"Lisa".
"Ruby".
"Neptune".
"Yuffie".
"Chowder".
"Mole".
"Lego Batman".
"Mr. Satan".
"And Donna!"
This left Fia and Captain Hero as the only contestants remaining. Fia looked neutral, while Captain Hero was panicking, biting his teeth and hoping he isn't the one to be voted off.
"Guys, there is only one cookie left on this tray, meaning…one of you will be eliminated", Imani told them, "Fia, you lose because you thought you could beat a god".
"He wasn't a god, you know", She utter.
"And Captain Hero. Got literally plundered by a dude with a ring. You didn't even raise a finger".
"Hey, I did try. You can't blame me!"
"Yeah you did", Jules sarcastically said.
"Whatever. The final cookie goes to…

"Captain Hero!"
This enraged and shocked Fia, "WHAT?!"
Her skin glowed red as she turn to stare at her suppose allies, with Mr. Satan quickly looked away and whistled.
00000000000000000000000000000
"What? I had to make that promises with the fairy girl", Mr. Satan confesses, "Otherwise, I would've been hugely humiliated. Or worse, have my hair be cut off".
000000000000000000000000000000
"You idiots vote me off?!" Fia asked, "After what I promise to you all!"
"Yeah, we not dumb enough to know you'll likely going to throw us under the bus", Neptune said, "Am I right?"
"Hell yeah!" Yuffie replied, both giving a high five.
"Yes! I'm safe!" Captain Hero proclaims, raising his arms up, "Ooooooh yeeeaaaah!"
"No! No! That's impossible! I shouldn't have been voted off!" Fia demanded, "Why should I be voted off?! It should've been Jules, the Silence girl, Lisa, and Sonic!"
"Hey don't look at us", Sonic told her, "We would love to participate, if it wasn't for how the challenge is handled".
"Plus, you did act too cocky", Imani told her.
"How does that equate to me being eliminated?! Everyone else is more cocky than me!"
"Well you just have to ask my assistance, Killer Frost".
Without the time to react, Killer Frost nodded and froze her up, freezing her entirely in a block of ice.
Soon the ice began to melt, as Imani ordered her, "Quick! Push her to the cannon before she gets out!"
"Got it!" She replied, doing as she is ordered, as the host wrapped this episode up, "Welp, there you have it folks! We have fighting and new competitors. Things are getting heated already. So stay tuned for more…Total! Drama! Weird World!"
As he said that, unknown to everyone Hilda and Aisling were watching behind the bushes, with both of them clearly snickering after what they just saw.
"Wow, so that's what you meant back there", Hilda asked her, "You literally just blackmail him?"
"Yep, I was afraid if he didn't", Aisling said, wrapping her arm around her head and laying down to relax a bit.
"Say, I do wonder, what if our team loses how would this even work".
"Good question. No idea. I just relied on dumb luck".
"Well, that certainly did work".
"You bet it does", She said, as she began to feel nappy before saying, "You bet it does".
And that wraps up this chapter.
Damn, did this episode take forever to make. That's what I get for trying to improve on my writing. Sorry that this took so long. Had so many other stuff to do.
But anyways, I hope you guys enjoy this chapter. This was a lot of fun and a lot of stress, since it involved fighting. Shame that Fia had to go, but oh well at least she will cool off at her place….crud, that was terrible.
Moving on, we have a new competitor, Eneru from One Piece. Don't worry, this will be the only new competitor introduced here. Now that he's here, there's going to be a lot more conflict stirring up right now. Lots of drama I'm totally sensing. Oooooooh…
Then there's also new friendships forming. Stuff like Mabel with Reg and Steam Lad. New story arc with Lisa trying to make her team better. New alliances with Ratcliffe and the boys. All sorts of stuff.
Now then, with this chapter out of the way, it time to focus on the more…tamer challenge this time around.
In the next chapter, the cast will be making their own cartoon! Yep, the team must make their own cartoon in order for no one to get booted out. It can be any cartoon. From a godawful, inaccurate portrayal of a Video Game character to a low budget, 1960s cartoon. It is going to be an interesting sight to see what these guys come up with.
But that will be for a later time. Right now, I'm going to be focusing on working on my other fics, particularly one that is. Do not fear, I will continue working on this, as I have lots of plans to for this.
So stay tuned. Give a review of what you guys think, and I'll see ya later
