Total Drama: Ultimate Islands!
Episode 2: Free For Teams!
Part 3: Face Down Finishes!

Well, the token-catching business is just about a third of the way there, as there's still a ton of obstacles, traps and other things that the remaining contestants were going to have to get.

And some of the obstacles are each other, so let's get back into business with some more teammates beating the things and clearing the spot for them!

Either way, it's time to get started and thanks for 2,000 views on this story!

1602jaw, appreciate it while you can!


The fight in the ditch that was also a path was ready to start.

"Welcome back to Total Drama, where these contestants are messing up each other!"

Daisy, Luigi, Samus and Donkey Kong all had confident looks on their own faces, as the quarter were facing up against a somewhat uncoordinated bunch of Rhinos.

"Here we go, I guess." Luigi said.

"Alright, put some power into the moves!" Daisy shouted. "Get 'em!"

"Uh, Samus has got 'em..." Luigi said.

Shulk was the only guy that could actually defend them, as two of the four were not fighting and the third basically got kicked twice by Samus brutally, but it was still two kicks.

"Well, you're pretty strong for a-"

"NO." Samus stood over The Coachman, clearly tired of the old man's words, as he got back up. "Turn back or else, you're getting more volts."

And Donkey Kong was ready to throw down with him for obvious reasons.

"Uh, we're fighting?" Donkey Kong confused, raising his fists.

"Do we have to? I've got better things to do!" Pinstripe stated, raising to swing his own fists.

"YEAH!" Donkey Kong swung at Shulk, who just just guarded himself. "EH?!"

Shulk almost had a vision mid-battle, as he rolled and then countered with his blade extending into Donkey Kong's arms...and it hurt bad.

"DAOWWW!"

Donkey Kong's short scream could be heard around the forest, as Shulk just pulled it back and just calmed himself down.

"...What kind of sword is that? It must be something else." Basil said, stunned by the fact that DK didn't have a wound. "And there's no wound too!"

"Well, that's the power of the Monado, sort of." Shulk answered, still ready to throw down. "I don't remember it doing that, though."

"That's still a strange sword." Basil noticed, as he tried to raise his fists against Luigi, who kept on throwing weak punches. "...And what's this green plumber doing here."

"Uh, I was distracting you from doing things!" Luigi exclaimed, throwing out a powerful uppercut out of nervousness.

Basil basically guarded it...and still got thrown upwards by said powerful uppercut and Shulk almost caught him, as Pinstripe ran from Daisy's ridiculously powerful...volleyball serve.

Pinstripe actually caught Basil and the mouse detective immediately jumped off, as he could see the obvious.

And it did hit too, but Shulk did manage to get Pinstripe back up quite easily.

"Geez, that was a single volleyball? It was like some kinda takedown!" Pinstripe shouted.

"Well, at least, most of us made it out."

In the middle of the ditch, things were pretty chaotic with the four Deer really sure of distracting the four Rhinos that got each other stuck...


...which was good because Snake was absolutely trying to gather up tokens for his teammates, who weren't really following him and he was doing it...near the area of where the original four went.

"Yeah, I don't think I can see anyone there." Uraraka said. "Wait, what are the four of them doing?"

"Stalling for us, as we're only three people in a sea of Rhinos." Snake said. "I can see that Yagami and Sakata are trying to be cool and doing nothing."

"I wonder why that is...must be a strategy thing." Uraraka replied.

"Pretty much." Sonja answered. "Someone must have called them to ensure that we wouldn't get our tokens, but it seems like they're not doing anything of use."

"Could be, but I don't think they're just going to let things lie." Uraraka definitely noticed the random duo.

"I've watched them at several locations and I'm pretty sure that they're not guarding anything." Snake said. "So, they're no problem."

"You three, I slowed them down with my butt and my feet!" Daisy shouted, not even caring about how it was worded. "And the other guys did their part as well!"

"Well, now it's time for us to take the tokens for ourselves and ensnare the tokens for ourselves. Should be easy for us." Snake remarked, as the grizzled super soldier just dropped down casually into a bush.

So did the other two, who were just quickly running in to take some tokens.

"That's great and all, but it's not like she said that they were stopped or anything. You should know that Shulk could be coming at any time with his Monado." Sonja told Snake, who was just nabbing the tokens like it wasn't a big deal.

"That is fair, but it's not like it's hard to hide here." Snake remarked.

The alcove that the Rhinos' tokens and Deers' tokens were surrounded by more bushes that it was necessary to have, but they were definitely hiding alright.

And then Snake left to do something.

"I guess this means we're going back, but Snake went in the opposite direction of the camp. For what?" Sonja asked, slowly walking in the bushes towards camp.

"To save his teammates." Uraraka uttered it, almost out of instinct.

With their team's tokens and even a few of the Rhinos' tokens.

Meanwhile, the quartet that had been so strong before was practically carrying the old man that made snarky comments and they definitely knew something.

It was actually silent.

"...They even took our potential tokens too!" Shulk shouted, somehow carrying the old man. "Their teamwork is rather commendable."

"Things would be different if that bounty hunter wasn't there. She was a beauty and kicked the old guy down, two impressive things." Pinstripe stated with a smirk, as Shulk just shrugged his shoulders.

"You blokes know that I'm splendid and can get up, right?" Coachman asked, casually raising his head.

The old man just jumped down from the hands of his teammates.

"Ah, let's just move."

"...Okay." Basil said, not even bothering.

*Pinstripe's confessional*

The potoroo was growling.

"Man, Azula's one hell of a fiery broad, the old man is real-life movie villain and Storm Shadow is a ninja that wouldn't survive a day where I work." Pinstripe remarked with a smile. "What a team."

*Confessional cut*


Snake was in here to do one thing and some people would definitely notice that he was doing that thing, but in the forest of random obstacles and probably powerful plants...

...giving other people his extra tokens was something.

Robyn, Penny and Mystique Sonia (with her hat) were all trying their best to ensnare the token from another giant flytrap and their best was a succinct way to put it in.

Mystique Sonia's hat, Yasha, didn't really like being in the mouth, considering it was all goey and something...so the white-skinned hero threw out a tongue whip.

"Move your tongue, please!" Robyn accidentally fired off an arrow.

"Yeah, Yeah, I got it." Mystique Sonia somehow accidentally slapped it into the flytrap's mouth.

And said arrow also went into the mouth and the flytrap started closing the mouth.

"Oh no." Robyn said.

"It's not over yet!" Mystique Sonia shouted, pulling the tongue out.

But the flytrap bit on the end and there was a scream.

"Oh my god, her tongue got hit!" Penny Proud yelled. "Pull it out, pull it out!"

"I'm gonna help!" Robyn was just aiming his crossbow...without realising the obvious. "Where are my arrows?!"

"...He got 'em." Mystique Sonia practically mumbled from the tongue pain, as the other two were moving back into the tree.

"How the heck did he make something like this? That's some kind of science experiment!" Penny Proud shouted. "And it ain't the good kind either."

"We can fight it...right?" Robyn sounded as unsure of the others.

And that was then before Snake came in running with a grenade and did his best thing...as he threw said grenade perfectly in the mouth of the amssive flytrap and then came in close...just as the grenade exploded the entire mouth.

And said flytrap basically died because the whole thing was a mouth and all of the fluids just splatted onto the ground and onto the trees.

The three ladies did escape got hit by the fluids.

"Finally time I showed up, right?" Snake asked.

"Yes, it is time you did that!" Mystique Sonia shouted, though it was very mumbly. "We've been over there stuck with the flytrap."

"We did it...together!" Robyn exclaimed, ready to get their tokens.

And they got them, green liquid-covered and all, as Snake was just waving goodbye to them and...one of them was confused.

"Shouldn't you be getting back to the cabin? You could be eliminated real quick with these fast guys on the island." Penny Proud remarked, as the other two weren't worrying about that.

"It's okay. That guy just exploded the flytrap like it was nothing!" Mystique Sonia remarked.

"Yeah, I've gotta help my other teammates. I don't think that many people have even finished yet." Snake said. "So it won't even be close to elimination."

"Okay, then!" Mystique Sonia declared, as her other two teammates were looking at her weird.

*Snake's confessional*

The super soldier stood tall.

"Well, there's definitely a lot more that needs to be done to make our team safe." Snake said. "And I suspect that there's a few more that I could do."

*Confessional cut*

In another area, there was three short ladies and they were all on the Deers, full of energy and enthusiasm that one of them didn't want or care for.

"Listen, we're going to crush whoever is in our way and this time, we will ensure that they are crushed!" Tanya shouted. "I'm all out of good speeches."

"Well, I didn't want to hear them." Ram remarked.

"You're just hating on her because you don't have any enthusiasm." Yuri stated. "Maybe you need to learn karate."

"No thank you, I already have my magic." Ram still remarked. "And can see much farther than you two can."

"Yeah, prove it!" Yuri declared, as the pink-haired maid.

"Prove that you're an good asset to this team!" Tanya shouted with a twisted smile.

Ram was very unsurprised at these two's attitudes and from the way she did her ability, she just had enough of their inability to do anything than annoy her.

It was only from her perspective, though, as the other two were actually just trying to get her to be a bit more motivated.

"I'm doing this for the team." Ram told the both of them.

All of a sudden, both of her eyes went red and...the other two weren't even sure what she was doing, but they were definitely watching with intent.

Ram was actually using some of the animals to see the potential tokens that could have been and she managed to find...something that could house some of them.

And she stopped doing that.

"You found something?" Yuri asked.

"Yes, I looked through some other person's eyes." Ram told her and Tanya...and then she bled a little bit. "Don't worry, I'm fine."

"That's good to hear. So what do we do?" Tanya told her, as Ram basically swatted her away.

Luigi may have been alone with mostly harmless animals, but he was scared of the potential of other people coming out of the place...and so when his teammate basically came out of nowhere running.

He tucked his tail and looked scared.

"We sent ourselves." Ram said in a very casual manner. "There's no problem."

"Oh, sorry...I thought you were another team." Luigi said. "Anyways, I found four tokens in this locked treehouse. Wait, is she bleeding?"

"Yes, but I'm fine." Ram replied to Luigi, as Tanya brung out the tissue. "We don't to find some complicated way of unlocking it."

"It's a lock, what are you going to do?" Tanya asked.

"There could be a key and it's pretty probably close." Luigi said, trying to figure it out. "I've seen this before!"

Luigi stood tall, as the other two ladies were just taking two weird looks at each other and the plumber just got to going into random bushes and digging into them.

Ram immediately got the gist of it, as she actually just used wind magic to blow off the bushes and...blow the key upwards.

"Uh, you found it and made it fly upwards?" Luigi asked. "Hold on, I've got it!"

"What kind of strategy is that?!" Yuri shouted at Ram, who just looked up at the sky. "It's not like it's going to end up in your hands!"

The two of them were running towards where the key might actually be, as Luigi was trying to get up into the trees, Yuri did the upper to catch it and Ram was actually going out to the spot.

And Tanya was just incrediulously staring at the sky.

"You three know that I can't do anything without my battle suit, which apparently got lost somewhere!" Tanya shouted at the three of them, as she was just holding out for the key.

"Wow, who cares, I've got the key!" Yuri shouted, with her hand just sticking with it. "Now we've gotta get up there."

"Without a ladder, this can only be done with some kind of jumping move, which I don't have. But we do have..." Tanya remarked, before the green plumber just jumped up.

And he jumped like it was no-one's business and easily reached the platform.

"...a green plumber."

Yuri threw the key up there, as Luigi opened the door.

And there it was.

Four tokens, one for each of them and they had another problem to deal with.

"We are kind of lost." Ram remarked.


"Uraraka and Sonja are safe!"

These two were just sitting by each other.

"Robyn, Mystique Sonia and Penny Proud are also safe!"

These three were clearly a little bit dustied up and had a bit of liquid on them, but they were also sitting right next to the two of them.

"How do you turn into a wolf?" Penny asked.

"I only do it when I sleep and I do mean when I sleep, I'm also a wolf." Robyn said.

"Hold on, so that would mean no matter when you sleep, you would become a wolf." Penny said, looking too interested. "...Dang, you could sleep during the day and-"

"Why would I do that?" Robyn asked.

Some others were just looking at her all weird, including Sonja.

*Sonja's confessional*

"Considering all of that, no-one should be getting any ideas about making her sleep during the day. Because that would be useless." Sonja commented with a bored face.

*Confessional cut*

Eva, Leshawna, Ryuko and Noel were all very ready to do their thing in trying to get into the cave and these four were the most...energetic quartet, as Noel was just quietly walking into the cave.

And Leshawna noticed

"Aren't you scared?" Leshawna asked.

"I've been up against some dangerous stuff, so it should be fine." Noel smiled at her, as the girl with attitude looked confused. "It's complicated."

"Some people ain't really the speaking type."

"I think that's me." Noel said. "I think."

The other two cave raiders were here to do some serious punching of random stuff, as they weren't in a mood to talk.

"Wow, there's nothing in here. So what's with the big random cave?" Eva asked with a weird smile.

"I dunno, I've been here one day." Ryuko didn't look too interested. "Let's just get 'em, go back to camp and make ourselves safe."

"I'm good with that, because there's nothing here." Eva remarked, uncarefully stepping into a weird area...where everyone instinctly looked forward. "...What."

The four of them were actually pointing at the whole bunch of bats were hanging around the chest of five tokens and...while all of them could probably punch them quick, the bats were speeding towards them.

Out of nowhere, it was like Noel...just jumped under the bats, as the other three were just trying to ensure that their teammate wasn't wrecked by the bats.

"Damn, what a trooper." Leshawna hid outside the bat cave. "...Wait, she's an soldier?"

"I mean..." Ryuko just turned back into the cave. "...we're team players."

"You ain't wrong." Leshawna slowly walked into the cave. "Those bats are swarming her!"

"Eh, she's fine." Ryuko definitely saw Noel, walking out of the cave.

"Ryuko's right. How did he got fruit bats up here?" Noel asked, carrying the box of tokens like it wasn't a big deal. "Must be something."

"Let's just get out of here before-"

The four of them were actually not that surprised at the other kind of bats that were chasing them and they were running out of the forest, pretty sure that they had no idea where they were.

*Leshawna's confessional*

"I don't care how they got here, how the hell were they chasing us outside?" Leshawna shouted. "Bats are night animals."

*Confessional cut*

Rock was just standing there, not sure what he contributed to the group of very charismatic muscled guys other than his guitar...as Dante and Sol went as hard as they could on an unopenable box.

Sol swung his sword and the box still ended up in Rock's hands, not opening a single bit.

Dante basically almost hit the box, but Rock couldn't really hold a guitar and a box at the same time...so the sword barely didn't hit the box...and Rock fell back with the guitar.

"Good job falling." Sol remarked.

"Well, I'm sorry that-"

Sol just basically smashed the metal box with his sword, while Dante provided a good cut to the same box for additional damage.

It was almost overkill to say that the tokens got flown off...and Dante caught it with a second bounce from some tree wall-climb and Sol just landed.

"How the hell are you so cool?!" Rock shouted.

"Consider the obvious. Two swords, two guns and too many reasons to win." Dante quipped like it was nobody's business.

"Huh, I guess it really does come to the..." Rock mimicked the 'shing' sound. "...like you two have it down."

"The heck does he mean?" Sol asked.

"Style, obviously!" Dante remarked. "Come on, you have a lot of it."

"These are just my clothes, though." Sol answered like the two of them were appreciating it. "Now, let's get outta this place."

*Dante's confessional*

"Someone tell that Sol guy he looks pretty damn good for surviving an apocalypse!" Dante shouted with a grin. "Looks like he couldn't care less, though, which is also damn good."

*Confessional cut*


Weirdly enough, Iori Yagami just showed up to the quartet that were struggling to get a token of their own and this red-haired guy didn't look too interested in making them lose.

As they were all kind of lost.

"Hey, idiots. You need help?" Yagami asked, clearly not giving a crap.

"No, we're fine on our own terms and you were, in fact, just standing there." Coachman smugly remarked. "So you should be grateful for us being here."

"...You could've just said no, but there's a whole bunch of tokens up there." Yagami remarked. "Been trying to get it since some time ago."

The token box was all up on a rope and very high up on a tree to boot, so the five of them were looking up and four of them could only look up.

"I bet that I could help you!" Coachman boasted, slowly raising his left arm.

"Nah, it's Shulk time in here." Pinstripe just slapped the somewhat functional left arm.

The Monado boy, as coined by a certain someone, knew what was up and activated one of his Monado Arts.

"We're still on the same team. So, we help each other!" Shulk shouted at the other three guys, as his sword had a green kanji on the base. "Okay?"

"Sounds good to me." Basil remarked. "Who else could jump that high?"

Shulk did an impressively high jump with some preparation to boot and he barely got up to the rope, but did a quick slash and grabbed the box with his other hand...and then dropped it.

It didn't drop fast enough for Iori to not catch it and Shulk landed back on the ground, not before hitting a branch and being laid on the ground.

"Good job, unlike some people that I don't want to mention." Basil said, as Shulk got up. "Wait, there are six tokens here!"

"Look, do you want to lose or not?" Iori asked, going back to not caring. "I'm not going home!"

"We all know the answer." Coachman said, his other arm pretty much swinging the whip. "Hop to it, boys!"

"...Shut the hell up, we're going." Pinstripe Potoroo added to the conversation.

"Looks like we're going back." Shulk smiled, not sure what to do about the feuding guys.

These four and Yagami were running on their way towards the camp or attempting to, as there was a definite lack of speed coming from the obvious contestant.

Hank Hill was in the middle of...something, when the Texan father and donkey trader basically smashed into each other with some kind of force.

"Can't ya watch where you're going?" Hank asked. "I'm trying to get some tokens and finish…whatever this is."

"Sorry for that. But we do have something for you!" Coachman exclaimed, as Hank was looking skeptically looking at him. "A token for you."

"Well, I do want to see it." Hank said. "Come on, you've got it, right?"

The donkey trader just gave him...a token rather reluctantly and both him and Hank were on their way back.

*Hank's confessional*

"Yeah, I don't know what all of that was about, but at least, I'm not climbing up some tree and falling anymore." Hank said, not too surprised. "How did I get here?"

*Confessional cut*

"Basil, Shulk, Iori & Pinstripe are safe from elimination!"

These four were just chilling and relaxing in the seat.

"Thank god I don't have to be here." Yagami was spinning his extra token. "Chris, can I-"

"Hey, what's with you? You don't want to meet the team?" Lynn asked Yagami, who rolled his eyes.

"What's the point, they're either annoying or pathetic or both."

"Well, uh, I think you're pathetic and annoying!" Lynn just shouted, as two of their teammates. "Hey, old guys."

Hank was basically slamming down his token and sighing wearily, as Yagami threw his token to The Coachman, who had an unsurprising grin.

"Honestly, I didn't have an extra one." Coachman remarked with a smile.

"Thanks, I guess." Hank just looked away from the other old man. "Maybe I can get to know you guys."

"Uh, that's awesome." Lynn felt pretty dang angry, barging in mid-conversation. "I'm going to talk to someone wanting to compete."

"I ain't mad." Hank remarked, very unsure of why that happened.

"Why not me?" Coachman said with a weird smile.

"Because-" Lynn was about to say something.

"Hank Hill & Coachman are also safe!"

*Coachman's confessional*

"That was really a weird and torrid conversation." He said. "I have no doubt that if I had an alliance, Hank Hill would not be in it. I do need certain kinds of people in my alliance."

*Confessional cut*

Kasumi was definitely lost as all hell, as she heard the many announcements of players that arrived back before her and she still didn't have a token in the middle of the forest.

"Rock, Dante and Sol Badguy are also safe!"

"Why are so many of the Rhinos safe now?" Kasumi asked. "I have more grit than most of them!"

The aikido lady sighed, as she didn't look too sure in finding anything in this big muddle of forest, let alone two teammates that were stuck without finding anything.

She was clearly going up the hill, yet she kept the same determined face to show no mercy towards any opponent.

Fortunately for her, she found a few teammates.

Not so fortunately, they didn't work that well with each other.

"You can stop calling me Raven-chan." Raven didn't sound too bothered in her cloak.

"Raven-chan, you've gotta help me. I'm pretty sure that we're lost!" Oikawa was basically walking behind and begging.

"For what, I'm not exactly showering in tokens." Raven said.

"For help, obviously." Oikawa said with a smirk.

"Kasumi, you're here, right?"

"Yes, I am!" Kasumi shouted, going into her stance. "And I don't have a token."

These three were each walking their way into a rather random place, as one of them had an idea of what they were doing, one of them knew where they were going and the third had no clue at all.

Raven, Kasumi and Oikawa did manage to find two ladies that weren't scared of anything, moreso stuck on a weird puzzle.

Mai and Tifa were looking determined to deal with it, as the former managed to sucessfully use her ninja arts to basically to slice a box with a key in it and then Tifa punched it like it wasn't a big deal.

And the wooden box was real strudy, because it wasn't completely broken.

"Dang it, now there's a bunch of Seabass in here!" Mai shouted. "You've gotta open this!"

"By doing what? Puzzle solving a box isn't my thing and I don't think someone from a rival team would know either." Tifa remarked.

"I'd have the best chances and I would really struggle." Oikawa said, so casually.

"That must mean something coming from you, genius." Kasumi crossed her arms, looking at the box. "It's just doing four simulteanous twists in a row...what did you guys have to deal with?"

"Trying to find the string to cut this down without getting some kind of hit. Yeah it took a while!" Mai exclaimed, as there a few objects that had nothing in them...that hung on a tree. "Besides-"

"-I think we've both got our tokens in that box." Kasumi took a look at it. "I don't need help."

"Fine by me, we've already got four people." Raven remarked.

Two members from each team were twisting the knobs that didn't stay in place and they all look determined to get the heck out of there and use their strength, despite Raven looking very uninterested.

"Old teammate, let's pull through!" Mai shouted.

"...Wouldn't twist through work?" Kasumi asked, scratching her head with one hand.

All of sudden, the box split open and three of the four token finders practically got their butts sat down on the floor...besides Mai, who instantly caught one and Tifa, who instinctly caught one.

"Okay, that was very good. But we will not fight on the same side next time!" Kasumi declared.

"We didn't, the box both had our tokens and yours inside. That's kinda impossible." Tifa told her, as Kasumi didn't look less angry. "...You fine?"

"Yes!"

Oikawa smiled smugly, as he did a peace sign.

"We opened the box together." Oikawa remarked. "Now it's time us to get back."

"...Did you hear something true?" Raven asked Kasumi like it wasn't a big deal.

"Not exactly, but he did find it!" Kasumi complimented the setter.

"Luigi, Yuri, Tanya & Ram are safe!"

"Now let's go before one of us ends up being eliminated." Oikawa said with a tone that suggested he had a serious smirk. "Okay?"

These two teams were plainly unimpressed with the remark, but they were doing as they really said, as they were both running out of there in seperate directions.

"Leshawna, Noel, Eva and Ryuko are safe!"

"I hope Falco goes out." Mai remarked towards Kasumi.

"You don't even know him, though!" Oikawa told her.

*Harley Quinn's confessional*

"Azula's kinda mad, but I'm not that interested because I don't care what those two were on, that was some badass teamwork. And from the way those two were looking, I doubt they're teaming up again." She said, basically smiling the whole time.

*Confessional cut*


The tension on the Rhinos' only got a little bit stronger.

"Mai and Tifa are safe from elimination!"

Azula's blood was boiling, as Mai was just looking at her with suspicion and Tifa...was not understanding the situation and on the table, things were not getting any better for Shulk.

"By the way, Kasumi, Raven and Oikawa are safe!"

"Seriously, what else could we do?" Mai asked. "These knobs practically were made to put four different people turning it."

"Maybe you could've used both hands to grasp it and then turn both knobs." Azula said. "That was certainly possible."

"It twisted the opposite way on both knobs and...oh." Mai finally put two and two together. "Opposite sides, right?"

"Yes. And then you wouldn't have help from the enemy." Azula stated.

"If you were there, you would have known that there was a whole bunch of strings that pulled down stuff that hurt and we found that out the hard way!" Mai shouted, as Tifa tried to cut it out silently. "...I wasn't thinking straight."

"Good, because I'm sure you won't do that again." Azula told her, as Tifa just facepalmed.

"...Yeah, I don't know what you expected, Mai." Tifa said, as Mai felt really bad for getting help. "We could've easily opened it and sabotaged it."

"Please, sabotage wouldn't help. You were in the bottom half of the leaderboard." Azula remarked with the most smug face.

"Trust me, she's right." Rock added to that, as Mai was glaring at the firebender.

On the other side, Basil and Coachman weren't going about it weirdly enough, as Shulk and Iori were both more interested in the way these two were going at it.

"Urgh, I can't believe that we shared that experience." Yagami asked.

"Honestly, the Coachman isn't that bad of a person despite his...frankly unbelieveable crimes." Basil said. "Rumours don't always turn out to be true, but you're definitely not a good person."

"That I can't deny! However, I'm sure that we'll make a great team." Coachman said, undeniably having a terrible tone. "And it's for your sake, too."

"...I still called you a bad person despite your lack of donkey transforming." Basil grumbled, not too interested in the old man.

"That I can do! You want to see what-" Coachman threw a good chunk of the team for a loop.

"No, no, you probably did have strange powers, though." Basil said, still very much bothered.

Shulk and Iori were just plain shocked at the sudden admission of...what he could do, as Basil felt odd.

"It does take a lot of energy, though." Coachman added on, as Basil was just shaking his head. "Honestly."

*Yagami's confessional*

"I don't care how this happened, but my team's either a bunch of crazy assholes or normal people and honestly, I'm not surprised." Iori said, remembering the people that he got teamed up in most KOF tournaments.

*Confessional cut*

Falco was back in town and this time, he really was in the place that he preferred with Michiru following him for whatever was up there.

"Hey, lady, get off my wings!" Falco boasted.

"Not exactly, there's a token up there and I'm in need of it!" Michiru exclaimed.

The two of them were flying in completely different ways, as they were trying to reach the top of a tree to grab a mini bag of their team's token and Falco had some branches to his advantage and Michiru had actual wings.

Either way, they were climbing up fast and they managed to get the bags...just by barely grasping at it and they both managed to fall down quickly.

"I'm not going to say it again." Falco remarked.

"We're both competing for two million dollars, though." Michiru said, jumping off another branch to do a huge leap in the air with her wings. "Let's go!"

Falco was just swinging off a branch to do his famous and fast Phantasm, a thing that boosted his momentum.

"Right back at ya!" Falco shouted with a smile.

"Then bring it." Michiru said, not taking things seriously.

And on the ground, there was a trio that was actually fighting someone that was standing their ground, as Kipo sighed relief at getting her token from the air and Kyo and Terry were going all in.

"Don't worry, I'll still help." Kipo shouted, ready to throw down with a Sasquatch. "Sorry, big guy, I've got to fight you."

"Don't worry about it, you've got a token, right?" Terry Bogard asked, after throwing a few Power Waves for the sasquatch to dodge.

"Yeah, but this giant cutie's throwing punches at you two." Kipo said.

"Listen, we won't hurt him too much. I think the host has some questions to answer." Terry Bogard turned his hat around, saying it with confidence.

"Thanks!" Kipo then looked back at them. "Oh yeah, you're the KOF guys, so that's...cool."

And then she sped back to base, as Kyo and Terry were looking at each other like they had teamed up before and did some killer moves at the random sasquatch.

Sasquatchanakwa looked tired of this and the Crackshoot from Terry didn't help matters and nor did the Kyo throwing a jumping kick to the face...and the sasquatch did what he had to do.

He gave them the tokens.

"...Huh, you'd never expect that." Kyo Kusanagi said. "We'll be taking those right now."

The sasquatch just nodded affirmative.

"Trust me, you're not up to my level." Kyo remarked, as Terry just stopped him.

"There's 20 safe Rhinos, 19 safe Seabass-es, 17 safe Deers and 15 safe Crows! You people better get a move on or else, you'll go home soon!" Chris announced to the remaining players. "Also, Falco and Michiru are safe, so that's 20 Seabass contestants and 16 safe crows!"

*Terry Bogard's confessional*

"Damn it, this host is trying to pull off some spicy stuff." Terry said, not too impressed with the law-skirting that the host was doing. "The sasquatch didn't really want to fight, that much I can tell."

*Confessional cut*


And it was time for Daisy, Samus and DK to finally do their thing, as they were going quite a distance from the camp to find their token, but they did manage to find it.

While that was happening.

"Kipo is safe!"

These three were trawling in the jungle to even find a bunch of tokens

"Kyo and Terry are safe from elimination! These Crows are finally stacking up to the plate!"

The trio finally managed to find some tokens and this time, they were actually in a easy place to find and Samus basically cut the rope, sensing that they were part of a trap.

"Mmm, free tokens! Let's get them and get out of the elimination zone!" Donkey Kong shouted.

"Okay, I can't complain." Daisy shouted. "I'm gonna get them for Luigi!"

"For Luigi?" Donkey Kong was plain excited.

"For Luigi!"

While those two were shouting, Samus went in there...hopped over the token bag, took it and then just landed like a pro...just as the pitfall fell off.

"Go, Samus, we're doing it for Luigi!" Daisy yelled at Samus, who was just putting her thumbs up. "Woo, let's go, girl!"

"And there's three of them to boot." Donkey Kong remarked. "Let's move for Luigi!"

"I'm not really doing this for any person within the team, really. The whole team deserves to have its best in the competition." Samus stated. "...For Luigi."

"Get 'em." Donkey Kong had a smirk.

The three of them were certainly making it back as fast as they could, as Donkey Kong was practically speeding through the path with Daisy riding on top and Samus not being far behind.

"...Dang it, don't you have someone that you could love?" Daisy asked.

"Being a bounty hunter, I don't really have any." Samus answered, plain and simple.

The trio were soon back inside the mess hall and they were coming in...and Snake also there as well, coming in with a token of his own.

"Wait, I thought you were going to help the best of the team!" Samus looked surprised.

"Considering where the rest are at, me doing that wouldn't really help." Snake told her. "Besides, we've already got a powerful team in this hall."

"...That I can't disagree with." Samus looked at her two teammates, who put their tokens down and ensured their place in the next challenge. "But we're also up against some other powerful teams with their skills."

"Besides, we've got some serious strategists, powerful punchers and people that have skills that could really give us the leg up." Snake said. "We're fine."

"Snake, Daisy, Donkey Kong and Samus are safe, which means that the Deer has 21 safe contestants now!"

The whole team sans 9 people that were at risk of elimination were just celebrating with the people that were there.

"And the Rhinos actually lead with 22 safe contestants and Seabass have 20 safe contestants in 3rd!"

"Tobio-chan, how does it feel to be behind?" Oikawa asked.

"It feels pretty good, because we're not that far behind." Kageyama remarked, still angry at his team.

"And lastly, the Crows has 19 safe contestants!"

Kageyama threw a smirk at Oikawa.

"How does it feel to be down?"

"...meaning that 82 have finished the challenge already...and what's going on with the 38 other contestants?! Find out after the break..."
