The Ridonculous Race: Cartoon Crossover
Episode 3: Here We Go Again – Part 3
Scene shows the teams screaming as the top of the building begins falling down. Cavendish then hastily pulls out a device.
Dakota: Hurry up!
Cavendish: I'm trying! (presses a few buttons) Hang on! (activates the device, which causes everything (except Cavendish & Dakota) to freeze around them, with the top of the building being mere inches from Cavendish's head) Shall we? (twists the knob to the moment Herry was about to punch through the load-barring wall. Cavendish was about to reset time when Dakota stopped him)
Dakota: Hold on. With the time we have, we can look for our pictures.
Cavendish: Isn't that cheating?
Dakota: Not really. Technically, the challenge requires us to find our photographs. Don didn't say we couldn't use time travel to help us.
Cavendish: Fine. But just this once we'll use time travel to our advantage. (they begin searching the tower for their photographs)
They search every nook and cranny looking for their portraits that'll lead them to victory. After an extensive search period, Dakota finds Cavendish's photo inside a garbage can while Cavendish finds Dakota's photo inside a lamp. They meet back up at Herry's location and begin contemplating what to do to ensure he doesn't destroy the building.
Dakota: So what should we do?
Cavendish: (spots something underneath a potted plant. He lifts it up, revealing Odie's picture) Well what do you know. If he'd noticed this, he wouldn't 've brought the house down… so to speak.
Dakota: So what now?
Cavendish: I have an idea. (the walk off screen and appear as though they're walking down the hallway and are just now noticing Herry about to punch the wall. Cavendish then resets time. Herry's about to punch the wall when Cavendish stops him) Herry, wait! That's a load-barring wall. If you destroy that, you'll cause the whole building to collapse.
Herry: (sighs in relief) Thanks for telling me that. Death is definitely something that's not on my to-do list.
Dakota: It's not on mine either. Also… (pulls out Odie's photo) We found this. We found it on one of the upper levels. We were actually coming to look for you. Good thing we did. Here you go. (gives Herry Odie's picture)
Herry: Thanks.
Odie: (on his communicator) Herry, you there?
Herry: (answering on his communicator) Yeah, I'm here. What's up?
Odie: (on his communicator) I found your portrait. Any luck on your end?
Herry: Yeah. Cavendish & Dakota found my picture and gave it to me. Now that's what I call good sportsmanship.
Odie: (on his communicator) I'll say. Anyway, I'm heading towards the observation deck. I'll see you up there.
Herry: See ya, Odie. (he logs off)
Cavendish: Um, pardon me, but Dakota and I have found our portraits as well. Might we accompany you?
Herry: Sure. Come on. (they begin to make their way towards the observation deck)
Cavendish: (whispers) What they don't know won't kill them.
Dakota: Yep. Glad we fixed that problem before it got out of hand. Hopefully no one remembers what happened.
Scene switches to Jay & Theresa's location as they're looking for their photos when Theresa momentarily stops and rubs her forehead. Jay hears her groan and turns around to face her.
Jay: (worried) Theresa. Are you all right?
Theresa then gasps and, through momentary flashes surrounded by a purple aura, we see glimpses of the CN Tower collapsing, Genji & Atlanta guiding everyone to safety, the building falling on top of everyone, and Cavendish & Dakota going back in time and stopping that event from ever occurring. Theresa then comes back to reality.
Theresa: What was that?
Jay: I said, "Are you all right?"
Theresa: Yeah. I'm fine. Just a minor heat flash.
Jay: Okay. Let's continue. (they continue onwards. Though, Theresa isn't entirely focused, as she's trying to figure out what it was she just saw)
We switch to flight #1 where we see Ford in his seat, looking around the plane, confused. He stands up and approaches Ingrid.
Ford: Um, Ingrid? (Ingrid looks at him) Wasn't there a news report on the CN Tower?
Ingrid: Not that I know of. Why?
Ford: (shrugs) No reason. Just thought I heard something. Must've been mistaken. (he heads back towards his seat. Ingrid looks confused but shrugs it off. As Ford heads back towards his seat, he begins pondering)
[Solo Confessional: Ford]
Ford: Something's off. I remember there being a report about the CN Tower blowing up, but now everything's fine. My guess is is that someone changed the timestream to stop that event from happening, and I wasn't affected because of this metal plate I drilled into my head. (bangs his head, which makes a clanging sound) Protects against mind control, possession, and protects you when the timeline changes. This is certainly going to be a plot development.
[End Confessional]
Ford's about to sit down when he hears something from a different section of the plane.
Dudley: (off screen) This is awful! (he rushes towards Dudley & Kitty's location)
Ford: What's going on?
Kitty: Oh, he's just complaining about the fact that there's no pretzels onboard.
Dudley: How could you people run out of pretzels?! (Kitty rolls her eyes at this)
Don: As Dudley tries to fix the shortage of snacks on airplanes, flight #1 has landed in…
[Place Description]
Don: Morocco, originally named Italy until it was discovered that there already was an Italy. Home to scorchingly hot foods, as well as scorchingly hot deserts! Once teams exit the airport, they must find the Don Box and collect their next travel tip.
[End Description]
Scene shows the 1st flight landing & the top 8 teams racing out of the airport and making their way towards the Don Box.
Brian: (reading the tip) It's an All-In.
Don: (standing next to a spice kiosk) For this All-In, teams must make their way to Yusuf's Spice Kiosk and pick five spices from this bountiful array. (camera pans over the spices while he's talking) Some are sweet, but some are so blisteringly hot that they'll turn your stomach into a volcano of pain.
Scene switches back to the teams reading their tips. Scene switches between team members as they're reading.
Stewie: Preferably, the 5 spices you should choose are…
Ana: Cumin,
Stan: Cinnamon,
Widowmaker: Paprika,
Fillmore: Saffron,
Jonny 2x4: And Ginger.
Kitty: Once you've collected five spices, you'll receive your next tip.
Agent K: Let's move.
The teams proceed to get into taxis and begin making their way towards Yusuf's Spice Kiosk.
Don: While our top 8 make their way towards the Kiosk, more teams are begin completing the 1st challenge.
Using Theresa's psychic abilities, she and Jay finds their pictures hidden in a flash drive. They download and print the image and make their way up towards the observation deck. Hanzo finds Genji's portrait in a safe hidden behind a picture of a safe; and Genji finds Hanzo's picture inside a glass bowl. We see both teams make their way towards the observation deck, solve the riddle, and zip line towards the airport. We then cut to Jen & Sashi placing their hands on the door to a room at the same time. They then look at each other menacing.
Jen: What do you think you're doing?
Sashi: I'm looking for Penn's photo. So if you don't mind, I'll be going into this room to look for it.
Jen: Actually, I do mind. You see, I was here first, so technically, I'm going in this room first to look for Nikki's photo.
Sashi: No you weren't. I was here first. I call dibs.
Jen: Doesn't count if you're not touching the door. (they both touch the door at the same time)
Jen & Sashi: Dibs. (they realize they're at a stalemate and glare at each other)
Sashi: Who do you think you are?
Jen: I'm Jen Masterson. Pro-Athlete.
Sashi: Well, Masterson, prepare to feel a world of hurt.
Jen: Only my boss can call me Masterson, and you don't know hurt until you live in a house with three disgusting stepbrothers.
Sashi: (hearing this, her face lightens) You live with three brothers?
Jen: Stepbrothers. My mom married Jonesy's dad last year.
Sashi: That goofball who hosted the previous season?
Jen: Yep. That Jonesy. I've had to deal with living in a house with him and his brothers, Diego and Ravi, who drive me up a wall with their pranks and antics. One time, they strung my clothing onto the hydro pole. And my parents have never punished them once! It's so frustrating! (calms down) But what would you know?
Sashi: A lot more than you think. I have a younger brother who my parents constantly fawn over. They often treat him like royalty. Also, my friends, Penn and Boone, they can be quite irritating when they don't focus on the task at hand and prefer to goof off. It's frustrating. I guess I'm prone to lashing out because of it. I have trust issues.
Jen: Well, you're talking to me right now, aren't you?
Sashi: I guess because I can sympathize with you. You know what's it's like to be around people who give you very little attention and respect.
Jen: Yes. Yes I do. (they smile at each other. At that moment, they hear an explosion. They turn to face the room they were about to enter and see the door is now scorched, and soon disintegrates to ash and dust. We then see Star standing in the middle of the now-destroyed room, completely unharmed, and we see her wand smoking. This signifies that she was the one who blew up the room)
Star: My bad. Guess that spell was more potent than I expected. (she then notices Jen & Sashi outside the room) Hey guys. Sorry if I scared you.
Sashi: (notices something) Hey Star, I think you have something stuck to your shoe.
Star: (looks down and sees that a piece of paper is stuck to her shoe. She pulls it off, and it reveals itself to be Marco's photo) Well whaddya know? It was stuck to my shoe the whole time. Guess I didn't need to blow up a whole room to find his picture. Thanks Sash. See ya at the top. (she leaves)
Jen: Note to self: Steer clear of that girl. She's dangerous.
Sashi: (notices something at the end of the hallway) I think I see something.
Jen: (notices something at the other end of the hallway) Me too. It's…
Jen & Sashi: Over there. (Jen goes left while Sashi goes right. They discover it's two photographs. Jen finds Penn's photo while Sashi finds Nikki's photo. They grab them, meet in the middle, and trade photos)
Sashi: Come on. Let's head towards the observation deck.
Jen: Indeed.
Soon, Penn, Marco, & Nikki finds their teammate's pictures, meet up with their respective partners, solve the riddle, and zip line towards the airport. Once there, they purchase their tickets for Morocco.
Penn: Two tickets to Morocco please.
Customer Service Agent: (gives them there tickets) Last team on flight #2.
Penn: (Sashi's eye slightly twitches, which Penn notices) Calm down, Sash. At least we're not on the last flight.
Sashi: (calms down) Right. Sorry, almost lost my cool.
Marco: Now let's see who else managed to get tickets on the 2nd flight to Morocco.
Don: (suddenly appears) Hey that's my department. I announce who's on the flights. (this startles the trio, causing Star to pull out her wand and aim it at Don, much to his terror) And I'll do that just as soon as Star points that away from me. (Star does so) Thank you. (scene switches between the teams as he announces who's on the second flight to Morocco) Teams on flight #2 are Archie & Atlanta, Cavendish & Dakota, Hanzo & Genji, Herry & Odie, Jay & Theresa, Jen & Nikki, Penn & Sashi, and Star & Marco. And due to the fact that it took them so long to complete the challenge, flight #2 will be leaving in 10 minutes.
Jen: What?!
Marco: We gotta hurry!
Jay: Marco's right. Let's go.
The teams begin racing to get onto the flight before it takes off, with everyone running at top notch speeds, particularly Atlanta. Just as the final team gets onto the plan, the gates close and the plane takes off.
Dakota: (sighs in relief, despite being out of breath) That… was… close. (holds his side) I think I got a hernia.
Cavendish: Well that's no surprise, seeing as how you constantly eat. You've put on quite a bit of weight.
Dakota: I… can't… disagree… with… you… there.
Scene switches to Don arriving at the base of the CN Tower, megaphone in hand.
Don: (with the megaphone up to his mouth) Alright teams. If you're still in the building, searching for your teammate's photograph, you can stop now. Meet me outside, A.S.A.P.
The bottom 8 teams exit the CN Tower and approach Don.
Don: Since all the other teams completed the challenge, the first two flights have been booked, meaning the rest of you will be on the 3rd flight. (the bottom eight teams groan at this.)
Jonesy: This sucks.
Jude: That's totally harshing my mellow, dude.
Don: Quit whining and just get to the airport.
The bottom 8 teams make their way towards the airport, still grumbling that they're in the bottom. Don announces the teams who're on the 3rd flight as they pass by him.
Don: Teams on flight #3 are Bart & Homer, Bobby & Ronnie Anne, Caitlin & Wyatt, Demoman & Pyro, Dipper & Mabel, GIR & Zim, Haiku & Lucy, and Jonesy & Jude. As our bottom 8 teams make their way towards the airport, our top 8 teams have reached the spice kiosk.
Scene switches to the top 8 teams arriving at the spice kiosk. They begin observing the bag of spices, trying to figure out the five spices that are needed.
Ingrid: (pointing each of the spices) Cumin, Cinnamon, Paprika, Saffron, Ginger.
Dick Daring: (surprised) How did she…
Fillmore: (cuts Dick off) Photographic Memory.
Agent K: (looks at Ingrid, intrigued) Intriguing. Um, Fillmore, was it? What line of work are you and Ingrid in?
Fillmore: We're safety patrollers. (shows Agent K his badge)
Agent K: Hmm, interesting.
[Confessional: Agent K & Dick Daring]
Agent K: You were right, Dick. There are some agents in the competition. Whether they're on our side or not, we'll have to wait and see. (Agent K stands up and leaves the room)
Dick Daring: And here I thought that promise was just talk, but apparently there may be enemy spies in the game after all.
[End Confessional]
Agent K: Well, I also have a photographic memory. (picks out the spices that Ingrid picked out)
Yusuf scoops up the spices for the Safety Patrollers and Married Parents and gives the spices to both teams in bags, with their next tip attached to the bags.
Ingrid: (reading the tip) We have to ride to a restaurant in the desert on a camel.
Fillmore: Let's move, Ingrid.
The Safety Patrollers and Married Parents get onto a camel and begin riding towards the restaurant in the desert. As they leave, the remaining teams try to find the 5 spices they need to complete the challenge.
Jonny 2x4: What's that Plank? (holds Plank up to his ear)
Everyone looks at Jonny 2x4 like he's crazy.
Stan: (looking at Jonny 2x4 funny) Why is he talking to a piece of wood?
Ford: My guess is he's one membrane short of a stem-cell.
Stan: Huh?
Ford: (his face falls, forcing him to dumb it down for Stan) He's one dollar short of the whole wad.
Stan: Oh, got ya.
However, Jonny 2x4 surprises everyone when, using Plank's guidance, he manages to identify the five spices they need for the next challenge.
Rolf: Very good, Jonny the Wood Boy. Let me congratulate you with the victory arm pit rub. (begins rubbing Jonny 2x4's arm pit, much to everyone's confusion) Now, we must make haste, before the cat sours the basil.
Brian: Huh?
The Weirdos get onto a camel and proceed in the direction of the top two teams. We then see Dudley sniffing each of the spices, trying to detect the five spices that he and Kitty need.
Dudley: (points out each of the spices) Cumin, Cinnamon, Paprika, Saffron, Ginger. (Yusuf scoops up the spices and places them in a bag, which has a tip attached to it, which Dudley takes in triumph)
Kitty: Great work, Dudley. But how'd you know which spice was spice when you can't even read an exit sign?
Dudley: I'm part bloodhound, remember?
Kitty: Oh yeah. That's right. Well it's a good thing that worked out to our advantage. Anyway, let's get going. (they get onto a camel and begin making their way through the desert towards the restaurant, eventually managing to catch up with the other teams. Unfortunately, the teams are in the middle of the desert, which is scorchingly hot, especially with the sun beating down on them)
Fillmore: Snap, it's hot outside.
Ingrid: We don't get weather like this in Minnesota, huh?
Agent K: My word. We need a plan. Maybe we can take the jet to Antarctica where we can take several blocks of and place them on our heads to remain cool.
Dick Daring: (panting) I can't go on. This is it for me. Look out below. (he falls off the camel and collapses from the heat)
Agent K's forced to stop and begins dragging Dick, trying to move him onto the camel. Unfortunately, she's having trouble due to his size and weight.
Strangely, the only team not affected it Jonny 2x4 & Rolf.
Rolf: This heat is nothing compared to when Rolf's brood of bottomless bellies from the Old Country. Yes, they turn the furnace all the way.
Jonny 2x4: That's what he said, buddy. Relatives. (a part of Plank catches on fire, leading to Jonny to put it out with his saliva)
Probably the team affected by the heat the most is Dudley & Kitty.
Kitty: Man, this is almost as bad as the time the Chameleon tried to flame broil Petropolis.
Dudley: Don't worry, Banana with a Rooster Head, we'll get there in no time using this mermaid on a unicycle.
Kitty: Scratch that. It's just as bad. Luckily, I know of a remedy. (pulls out a razor. Off screen, she shaves herself and Dudley. The teams turn when they hear this, but immediately cover their eyes. Kitty and Dudley sigh in relief) So much cooler.
Jonny 2x4: You're right, buddy, cats and dogs look ugly when they're shaved.
Kitty: Why I outta?
Dudley: Easy, Kitty. It's just a piece of wood.
Kitty: (calms down) You're right.
Fillmore: No offense, but I think the wood is right.
Ingrid: Yeah. The reason for why animals have fur is so we don't have to see the fleshy pink parts underneath. Do you mind covering up with some pants or something?
Dudley: I never wear pants! I hate them! They hide my most prominent feature. My tail. (he turns around and everyone sees his posterior is exposed, causing them to cover their eyes)
Ingrid: They almost have fur as not to expose themselves in public.
Don: With that image now stuck in everyone's mind, let's cut to something for pleasant, shall we?
Scene shows the 2nd flight landing and middle 8 teams racing out of the airport. They collect a tip from the Don Box, and begin getting into taxis, trying to make their way towards Yusuf's Spice Kiosk.
Atlanta: I can beat these cabs with my speed. Let's g- (she's about to run when Archie stops her)
Archie: Remember what happened to Sonic & Tails last season when they used their speed? (Atlanta ponders for a moment before remembering their fate)
Atlanta: Right. Taxi! (a taxi pulls up and they enter. They then make their way towards the Spice Kiosk)
Scene switches to the Spice Kiosk where we see the Talon Mercenaries, Brothers, Mother & Daughter, and Frenemies still trying to pick out five spices.
Pharah: Cumin, Cinnamon, Paprika, Saffron, Ginger. (Yusuf scoops up the spices and gives them to Ana & Pharah)
[Confessional: Ana & Pharah]
Pharah: We're of Egyptian heritage. We're accustomed to many spices in our hometown.
Ana: We knew we'd easily complete the challenge.
[End Confessional]
Soon, Ford & Stan and Brian & Stewie manage to get the spices they need and they begin riding towards the restaurant, leaving the Talon Mercenaries at the Spice Kiosk. Reaper is not happy. Widowmaker then notices the teams from the 2nd flight approaching.
Widowmaker: They're coming. We have to go. Now!
Reaper: Alright. We'll just take 5 random spices. (picks five random spices. He & Widowmaker get onto a camel and leave, just as the teams from the 2nd flight arrive at the kiosk)
Dakota: Let's see, um… I think that one… no. Maybe that one? No. Okay, this one I'm sure of. I think. (Cavendish face palms)
Marco & Odie: Cumin, Cinnamon, Paprika, Saffron, Ginger.
Odie: That was surprisingly elementary.
Marco: I know, right?
The Complete Opposites and Monster Fighters collect their tip and their bag of spices and get onto a camel and proceed towards the restaurant in the desert. Using her psychic ability once more, Theresa manages to correctly identify the spices, allowing for her & Jay to begin traversing through the desert towards the restaurant. And after using a more calculated approach from Cavendish, the Time Travelers are now on their way towards the restaurant in the desert. They manage to catch up to the Daters.
Theresa: Um, Cavendish, Dakota? (they turn towards her and Jay)
Cavendish: Greetings. Can we help you?
Theresa: I just wanted to ask you guys something. Do you possess any strange powers?
Dakota: How do you mean?
Theresa: I mean like mystical powers.
Cavendish: No, we're time travelers. We use technology. Why do you ask?
Theresa: I had a vision about you guys.
Jay: What?
Dakota: Vision?
Theresa: I'm telepathic.
Dakota: Oh, like Marvel's Vision. What was your vision of?
Theresa: I saw the CN Tower. We were trapped inside and the building began crumbling to the ground. It was terrifying. Then I saw you two. A bright light surrounded you and then my vision ended.
Cavendish: (he & Dakota look at each other in surprise before looking back at Theresa) You remember the alternate timeline? The one we fixed?
Jay: Alternate timeline? What happened?
Dakota: Your friend, Herry, destroyed a load-barring wall, causing the whole tower to begin to collapse. We were forced to evacuate. Then the top of the building began descending upon us. Because desperate times call for desperate measures, we traveled back in time and stopped that event from ever occurring.
Jay: You mean you're like Cronus?
Dakota: Who?
Cavendish: Cronus: The God of Time and Space. Father of Zeus, Hera, Poseidon, Hades, Hestia, Demeter, and Chiron. He was a titan. As I recall from Greek mythology, during the Titan wars, Zeus, Poseidon, and Hades, using armored and weapons forged by the Cyclopes, defeated their father and imprisoned him in Tartarus in the Underworld.
Jay: You know your Greek mythology.
Cavendish: Yes. And while you're right that we do possess equipment similar to Cronus, I assure it's different.
Dakota: Yeah. For one thing, he's fake, and we're real.
Cavendish: Indeed. Anyway, cheerio. (they proceed ahead)
Scene switches to the restaurant in the desert where we see the Safety Patrollers, Weirdos, and T.U.F.F. Agents, with the Married Parents not far behind. When they arrive at the restaurant, they give their bag of spices to the chef, who gives them their next tip.
Ingrid: (reading the tip) It's a Botch or Watch. Just Stew It.
Don: For those who haven't seen the previous season, a Botch or Watch is a challenge only one team member has to perform. In this Botch or Watch, after handing their spices to the chef, he'll add them to a bowl of Moroccan stew, which one team member must eat. Once they've managed to chug down their stew, they must race on foot here… (we zoom out to show Don at the Chill Zone, surrounding by several amenities) to the Oasis, which'll be the Chill Zone for this leg of the race. The last team to arrive, will be cut from the race.
Scene switches back to the restaurant where we see the Safety Patrollers, Married Parents, T.U.F.F. Agents, and Weirdos giving the chef their spices. He then the teams members participating in the Botch or Watch bowls of Moroccan stew. The team members participating in the challenge are Fillmore, Dick Daring, Dudley, and Rolf.
Ingrid: Alright, Fillmore. This is up your wheelhouse. But you know, I can do this if you want.
Fillmore: Hey, if I can outmatch several people in the lunchroom in a sloppy joe eating contest, this should be a breeze. (begins the challenge)
Dick Daring: Wow, that kid is good. Think we should forfeit?
Agent K: Of course not. We can't let the enemy agents win. Now drink that stew, Dick.
Dick Daring: You got it, honey. (he begins downing the stew)
Rolf: Weaklings. They think they can outmatch Rolf, the son of a shepherd? They have no seen what Rolf can accomplish. Amateurs I tell you!
Jonny 2x4: (to Plank) I don't get him either, Plank.
Dudley: Finally, a challenge I'm good at. Though I would prefer to spin a wheel. (begins chugging the stew)
Don: As the top four teams begin the Botch or Watch, flight #3 has finally landed.
Scene switches to the airport where we see the 3rd flight landing. We then see the teams race out of the airport, collect their tips from the Don Box, enter taxis, and proceed towards the Spice Kiosk.
Jude: Dude, we're really far behind.
Jonesy: Hey, driver, if you pass these guys and book it, I'll give you a big tip. (the driver smiles and floors it, passing all the cars and leaving them in the dust, allowing for the Slackers to make up for lost time)
Jude: Nice work, dude. (they fist bump)
Scene switches to the Spice Kiosk where we see the Best Friends, Part-Time Heroes, Warriors, and Ninjas still trying to pick their spices.
Atlanta: (sniffs one of the spices) I think that's cumin. Scoop it. (Yusuf does so)
Jen: That has to be cinnamon and that has to be paprika.
Genji: I know that's saffron and that's ginger.
The Warriors, Best Friends, and Ninjas collect and obtain their bag of spices and begin making their way towards the restaurant. The Part-Time Heroes then begin to hear engines roar behind them.
Sashi: I did not sign up for this show just to be eliminated first. (picks out 5 spices at random, allowing for her & Penn to proceed towards the next challenge)
Once they do so, the Slackers pull up at the kiosk.
Jonesy: (giving the driver a huge tip) Worth every penny. (he and Jude then approach the kiosk)
Jude: (trying to figure out which spices are the correct ones) Um…
[Confessional: Jonesy & Jude]
Jude: It was tricky. But they were just spices. Good thing I didn't lose my head.
[End Confessional]
Jude: (panicking) Why do you all look the same?! (begins running around wildly)
Soon, the other teams from the third flight pull up and overlook the spices.
Wyatt: (immediately recognizes cinnamon) That's cinnamon.
Demoman: And how would you know that?
Wyatt: Because I drink cinnamon lattes.
Demoman: Oh, now I get it. You're caffeine junkie.
Wyatt: (sighs) Yes.
Jude: Dude, you just crossed a line.
Demoman: Whatever you say. (downs a bottle of whisky)
Jonesy: You're one to talk. You're a drunk.
Demoman: Come on, this is only my ninth one.
Caitlin: How many of those did you say you had?
Demoman: Nine bottles of whisky, five bottles of gin, seven bottles of bourbon, and twelves bottles of beer. (realizes something) Okay, now I get your point. (someone taps him on the shoulder, causing him to spin around wildly in terror. It turns out, it's Pyro with a bag of spices in hand) Well done. Now don't scare me like that. (they get onto a camel and begin making their way towards the restaurant)
Ronnie Anne: Okay, that guy in the mask is terrifying. (notices water beginning to fall) Is it starting to rain? (she then notices it's just Bobby, sweating profusely) Nope, just my brother and his fears.
Bobby: That's not from fear. Well some of it is, but it's mostly from the heat. Que calor. It's hotter than blazes out here. And it's not even noon! (he falls to the ground, drenched in sweat. He and Ronnie Anne then hear chattering and notice Haiku & Lucy are holding onto each other for dear life) Are they alright?
Ronnie Anne: Wait a minute. Dilated pupils, chattering teeth, quivering knees, shivering and holding each other tightly when it's not cold. (gasps in realization) Haiku and Lucy are afraid?
Bobby: What? (sees that they're indeed terrified of Pyro) We gotta get this. This is a once in a lifetime opportunity. (manages to take a picture) Got it. Now, what's the challenge?
Thanks to all the food Bobby & Ronnie Anne's Abuela cooks, they manage to correctly identify the five spices they need for the Botch or Watch. They then begin riding into the desert towards the restaurant, with the Goths and the Twins following close behind them. This leaves the Slackers, Kindhearted Teenagers, Father & Son, and Irken Soldiers.
Caitlin: Okay, we're basically going nowhere with this.
Zim: Indeed. The pink one speaks the truth!
Caitlin: I have a name, you know?
Jonesy: Look, since none of us can identify the spices, how about we just pick five random ones.
Bart: Sounds alright to me. (to Yusuf) Hey, Yusuf, scoop up the five spices closest to you. (Yusuf doesn't do anything) Come on, my dad will eat anything. I once saw him eat our own tablecloth.
Homer: There were pictures of donuts on it. Mmm, donuts.
Yusuf scoops up spices for the four teams and they proceed towards the restaurant. Unfortunately, camels aren't typically known for their hygiene.
Caitlin: Eww, this camel smells terrible!
Jonesy: (he & Jude sniffs their pits and realize they're the origin of the horrid smell, prompting them to try and conceal it) Oh, um, yep, definitely the camels.
Homer: Yah, yah, come on camel, ride. (the camel looks like it's dehydrated and on the verge of passing out. Not helping matters is that the camel's being weighed down by Homer)
Bart: Dad, I think the camel's about to pass out.
Homer: Come on, son. Camels are the ships of the desert. They never run out of gas. (suddenly, the camel passes out, collapsing on the ground) D'oh. (Homer & Bart then begin trying to drag the camel to the restaurant, much to their annoyance)
Scene switches to the restaurant where we see the remaining teams from the first flight, as well as most of the teams from the 2nd flight, have arrived and began the challenge. The team members participating in the challenge are Stan, Brian, Hanzo, Widowmaker, Pharah, Dakota, Jen, Star, Herry, Atlanta, and Jay. Eventually, Fillmore, Dick Daring, Dudley, and Rolf manage to complete the challenge and the teams begin high-tailing it towards the Chill Zone.
Dick Daring: Come on, K. If we run, we can win.
Rolf: Run, Jonny the Wood Boy. Run like the wind.
Fillmore: Ingrid, move!
Despite not having been there for that not, Herry, Star, Dakota, Jen, and Atlanta manage to chug down the stew. The teams then begin racing towards the Chill Zone. Though, it appears as though one team isn't making much progress at all. Brian has barely even ingested the stew.
Brian: Stewie, we should be done with the challenge by now.
Stewie: Up, bup, bup, remember the plan.
Brian: Right. How could I forget? You got Gilbert Gottfried to explain it to me.
We're given a cutaway where we see Gilbert Gottfried telling Brian the plan in his usual, irritating voice.
Gilbert Gottfried: Okay, Brian, you ready to hear the plan?
Brian: Yes.
Gilbert Gottfried: Good, cause I've been planning to tell you the plan. (laughs at the fairly dumb joke) Also, I gotta ask ya, Snoopy: What happened to Woodstock? Has his head gotten bigger or have you gotten smaller? (Gottfried laughs while Brian breaks a pencil due to Gottfried's irritating voice and bad jokes)
We then cut back to the top four teams as they're approaching the Chill Zone.
Jonny 2x4: Right on! I think we're gonna make it. Huh? (he then turns around and sees Atlanta approaching while carrying Archie, using her speed to bypass the other teams)
Fillmore: Dawg, that girl can book it.
Thanks to Atlanta's speed boost, she & Archie get onto the mat before the other teams.
Atlanta: Woo-hoo! Yeah!
Archie: Alright!
Don: Congratulations, Archie & Atlanta. You're in 1st place! (they cheer and hug each other) Yes, we're all happy. Now make way for the other teams. (Archie & Atlanta do as he says. Next onto the mat is… Fillmore & Ingrid) Safety Patrollers, you're in 2nd.
Fillmore: That's cool. We're fine with any placement.
Ingrid: So long as it's not last. (they leave the mat, while Dudley & Kitty come onto the mat)
Don: Dudley & Kitty, you're in third.
Dudley: Awesome! We're in the top 3!
Kitty: Great work during the challenge, Dudley. You really stepped up.
Dudley: I'm actually a little surprised that other dog wasn't doing horribly. (they leave the mat)
Don then announces the teams' placements as they arrive on the mat. Scene shows the order in which they arrived.
4th! [Agent K & Dick Daring]
5th! [Jonny 2x4 & Rolf]
6th! [Herry & Odie]
7th! [Star & Marco]
8th! [Jen & Nikki]
9th! [Cavendish & Dakota]
[Confessional: Cavendish & Dakota]
Dakota: Would you look at that? We've already placed in the top ten.
Cavendish: Let's just hope it remains that way.
[End Confessional]
Scene shows Bart & Homer still struggling to move their camel, and Homer is easily winded due to his size.
Homer: (panting) I… can't… go… on.
Bart: Why don't we just get another camel? (we zoom out, and it's revealed they're only a few feet from the kiosk)
Homer: (realizing they wasted a lot of them on their camel) Oh. (they get on a different camel and begin making their way towards the restaurant)
Scene switches to the Botch or Watch where we see Penn & Sashi and the teams from the 3rd flight (minus Father & Son) have arrived and begun the challenge. The team members participating are Sashi, Ronnie Anne, Wyatt, Demoman, Mabel, GIR, Lucy, & Jude. Demoman, Sashi, and Mabel down the soup, while Stan, Hanzo, Widowmaker, Pharah, and Jay finish and begin racing towards the Chill Zone. Brian still seems to be having trouble with the challenge.
Stewie: (faking) Come on, Brian. We're losing our lead.
Brian: (stops eating the stew; also faking) Hey, don't blame me. This is as fast as a normal dog can go. If you think you can do better, why don't you do it yourself. (dumps the stew on Stewie's head)
Stewie: God****it, Brian! Now we have to go back to the restaurant and get more ingredients.
Brian: F*** you! (they angrily get back onto the camel and begin making their way back towards the restaurant)
We then cut to Jude, who's face is red hot due to the stew.
Jude: Dude, I think you picked the wrong spices.
Jonesy: Come on, it can't be that bad. (a fly goes into the stew, and disintegrates)
Jude: (he manages to finish the stew, but his whole face it on fire) Need… WATER! (notices a camel drooling and runs over to it. He then drinks the saliva, which cools him down. However, this causes Bobby, Ronnie Anne, Caitlin, Wyatt, & Jonesy to almost puke in revulsion) Let's go, dude. (he grabs Jonesy and they begin racing towards the Chill Zone)
At that moment, Bart & Homer arrive. Bart dismounts while Homer collapses due to the heat.
Bart: Dad, you have to eat the stew. (he then sees an elderly gentlemen sit up) Grandpa, what are you doing here? Where's dad? (camel drools falls onto Grandpa's head, revealing himself to be Homer)
Homer: That's what happens when I'm dehydrated. (he then smells the stew) Mmm, stew. (he grabs it and quickly chugs it down. GIR, Wyatt, Ronnie Anne, & Lucy finish their stews and proceed towards the Chill Zone, with Father & Son not too far behind)
Scene switches to the Chill Zone where we see a plethora of teams arrive and check in. Scene shows the order in which they arrive.
10th! [Hanzo & Genji]
11th! [Demoman & Pyro]
12th! [Ana & Pharah]
13th! [Reaper & Widowmaker]
14th! [Penn & Sashi]
15th! [Jay & Theresa]
16th! [Stan & Ford]
17th! [Dipper & Mabel]
Don: With more and more teams checking in, it's starting to get down to the wire.
More teams continue to check into the Chill Zone.
18th! [Jonesy & Jude]
19th! [Caitlin & Wyatt]
20th! [Bobby & Ronnie Anne]
21st! [Haiku & Lucy]
22nd! [GIR & Zim]
Homer & Bart come onto the mat, though Homer looks terrible.
Don: 23rd! Congrats, you're still in the race.
Homer: Yeah. (passes out. Bart begins walking away)
Don: (to Bart) So what, are you just going to leave him here?
Bart: Don't worry, he'll come around soon. He's been through a lot worse.
After Bart leaves, Don turns to face the camera.
Don: Well, since the Frenemies have failed to show up, I guess this means they're eliminated from the race. In all honesty, I would've expected them to have gone farther. Oh well. What new surprises does this season have instore for us? Find out next time on, The Ridonculous Race: Cartoon Crossover.
We then cut to Brian & Stewie riding through the desert on a camel when they approach a Comfort Inn. Stewie & Brian dismount the camel and approach the Comfort Inn. However, the inside reveals itself as a warehouse of sorts. Stewie & Brian then approach a group of monitors, which showcase the teams' movements, whereabouts, and actions at all times. Stewie is smiling evilly.
Stewie: Let the games begin.
To Be Continued
Oh, how devilishly deceptive. What is Stewie up to exactly? You'll just have to read to find out, now won't you? Well, hope you enjoyed this fairly long chapter. I know I did. I enjoyed writing this, just like I enjoy writing all my chapters and stories. Now, you can expect that there'll be many challenges that were showcased in previous seasons. Can't wait for you to see them. As always, please like, review, guess the references, decide which team you believe is going to win and who'll be eliminated next, and I'll see you all next time.
