The Ridonculous Race: Cartoon Crossover
Episode 8: A Tisket, A Casket, I'm Gonna Blow a Gasket
Don: Last time, on The Ridonculous Race: Cartoon Crossover! We made our way towards the deserts of Egypt where our teams got mazed. While traversing the confusing pathways in the Great Pyramid of Giza, they accidentally released the Scorpion King. While battling the Scorpion King, Pharah discovered her true heritage as a Medjay warrior, and managed to kill the Scorpion King. And while battling the Scorpion King's Anubis army, Odie & Ingrid put of a spectacular performance, managing to destroy over a 100 Anubis soldiers, as well as igniting their relationship. After the battle was over, Dakota revealed Reaper's deception in the most comical way possible. Can we see that again in slow-motion? (we're shown a clip with that scene being played in slow-motion) Thanks. And lastly, we said goodbye to Caitlin & Wyatt, who missed out on everything due to Caitlin's bad hair day and Reaper playing a dirty trick to get them eliminated. What will be our next location on this once in a lifetime journey? Find out on this episode of, The Ridonculous Race: Cartoon Crossover.
Cue Theme Song
Don: We're back in Cairo, Egypt. And on the banks of the Nile River, we'll soon be departing Egypt for our next destination. And the first team to leave this location will be Ana & Pharah.
Mother & Daughter step up to the Don Box, pressed the button on top, and received their next tip.
Ana: Make your way to Dracula's castle in Transylvania? (he & Pharah look understandably freaked out)
[Place Description]
Don: (wearing fake vampire teeth, he tries speaking properly, but has difficulty doing so, prompting him to spit them out) Transylvania. Home of majestic mountains, old Saxon architecture, and the birthplace of the heebie jeebies. Teams must travel here, to this castle, to receive their next tip.
[End Description]
Scene switches back to the Chill Zone where we see Don giving Ana & Pharah instructions on what to do next.
Don: This shuttle bus will transport all the teams to the airport. Good luck.
Ana & Pharah enter the bus. Once they do, all the teams proceed to collect their tips and enter the bus, a lot of them pleased at the fact that they're all together. We then cut to where the Goths are seated where we see they remain as stoic as always. Or so one might think.
Lucy: What is this strange feeling?
Haiku: I fear it may be… happiness.
[Confessional: Haiku & Lucy]
Haiku: Transylvania. I can't believe it.
Lucy: Awesome.
[Switch Confessional: Reaper & Widowmaker]
Reaper: (angry) I can't believe our plan failed.
Widowmaker: And this early, no doubt. (Reaper begins pulling out his weapons, prompting Widowmaker to calm him down) Take it easy. We'll find a way to get the Goths eliminated. Somehow.
Reaper: Well, we are going to Transylvania. Who knows? Maybe they'll find a vampire and get married. (Widowmaker snickers at this)
[End Confessional]
Scene shows the shuttle bus arriving at the airport and the teams racing out as quickly as they can in order to get onto the first flight. We cut to the back of the line where we see Penn & Sashi are impatiently waiting.
Penn: Ugh, this is taking forever!
Sashi: I know what you mean, PZ. Besides, we'll more than likely be stuck on the second flight with the rest of these losers. (gets an idea) Unless… (holds out her arms) Pick me up, and throw me to the front.
Penn: What?
Sashi: Wait, you're right, that's crazy. (Penn sighs in relief) I should throw you to the front.
Penn: Wait, what? (Sashi grabs Penn and throws him to the front of the line, causing him to scream. Fillmore & Ingrid, as they're purchasing their tickets, see this coming)
Fillmore: Get down! (everyone ducks as Penn rams into the Ticket Agent)
Penn: (off screen) I managed to get two tickets Sash.
Sashi: Make it four tickets, for Jen and her friend.
Jen: What?
Penn: Got them.
Sashi: Just thought I'd be thoughtful, after our talk. (she leaves)
Nikki: Well that was nice of her. Also, when did you guys talk?
Jen: During the first leg, I'll explain it to you later. (Penn gives them their next tickets)
We then cut to the front of the line where we see Archie & Atlanta are about to purchase their tickets where the Ticket Agent stops them.
Atlanta: What's going on? We're next in line. (the Ticket Agent shakes his head and points down. Archie & Atlanta look down, and yelp in freight, due to the fact that the Goths just appeared in front of them out of nowhere)
Archie: What the- Weren't they in the back of the line? How'd they get up here?
We cut to the back of the line where we see Homer & Bart have surprised looks on their faces when they notice the Goths are behind them anymore.
Homer: Wow. Those girls are sneaky.
Bart: And creepy.
Ronnie Anne: That's Haiku & Lucy for you.
Lucy: (appearing next to Bobby & Ronnie Anne; off screen) Hey. (Bobby & Ronnie Anne scream as Bobby jumps into Ronnie Anne's arms in terror. Haiku & Lucy come onscreen and give Bobby & Ronnie Anne two tickets on the first flight) We got you some tickets.
Ronnie Anne: (uncomfortable) Oh, thanks guys. (they leave, allowing for Bobby & Ronnie Anne to take a breather)
Don: (scene switches between teams as he's announcing them) The 1st flight contains Mother & Daughter, Complete Opposites, Safety Patrollers, Daters, Time Travelers, Brothers, Best Friends, Part-Time Heroes, Brother & Sister, and Goths; the 2nd flight, which'll depart 45 minutes after the 1st flight, contains the Warriors, T.U.F.F. Agents, Married Parents, Ninjas, Weirdos, Monster Fighters, Slackers, Father & Son, Talon Mercenaries, and Insane Destructors. The 45-minute time hurdle may be too hard for the teams to overcome.
Atlanta: (angry) I can't believe we missed out because the Goths sneaked ahead of us.
Archie: Calm down, Atlanta. We can find a way to make up ground. We just gotta dig deep and work hard.
Atlanta: (calming down) You're right. We can do this. (they high five)
We then cut to the second flight departing from Egypt.
Don: The 2nd flight has finally left Egypt, as plane #1 touches down in Romania.
We see the first flight touching down in Romania and the teams racing out of the airport. When they exit the airport, they see the castle in the distance, with lightning striking in the background. It then starts raining as the teams quiver in fear. Jen & Nikki are holding onto each other; Bobby's hiding behind Ronnie Anne; Theresa's holding onto Jay; Penn looks scared while Sashi looks ready to defend him; Fillmore & Ingrid look intimidated; Dakota, who jumped into Cavendish's arms, is holding onto him in terror. However, unlike the other teams, the Goths don't appear to be afraid. In fact, quite the opposite.
Lucy: Whoa.
[Confessional: Haiku & Lucy]
Lucy: Okay, Dracula was the first goth ever. He was our king. To be here is… I just, I can't. I'm so… (Haiku stops her)
Haiku: Hey. That was close. You almost got color in your face. (a werewolf howls in the background, much to the Goths' delight, though they don't show it.
[End Confessional]
As the onslaught of rain and lightning continues, the teams begin running up the path towards the castle, with the Goths bringing up the front, with the Part-Time Heroes not too far behind them. The Best Friends begin gaining on the Part-Time Heroes, but the Part-Time Heroes manage to maintain a steady lead.
Sashi: You won't get past me, Jen. I have trained my body to be a living weapon. Nothing gets past me. (she then slips on the mud and falls, causing everyone to pass her. Jen snickers at this as Penn goes back to get Sashi)
Penn: Be a little more careful next time, Sash.
Sashi: Come on, PZ. We're losing our lead. (she once again slips on the mud and faceplants)
[Confessional: Penn & Sashi]
Sashi: I have trained my whole life in being able to combat, ninjas, robots, ninja robots, and interdimensional nutjobs. But to be brought down by mud, now that's almost as bad as losing in dodgeball.
Penn: Oh, you're referring to when I… (Sashi looks at him sternly) cheated and caused you to lose the game you deserved to win, and you pelted me with dodgeballs, which I totally deserved.
Sashi: Thank you.
[End Confessional]
We cut to the Don Box where we see Jen & Nikki have arrived first.
Jen: Alright. First ones here.
Nikki: Wait, how's that possible? The Goths were ahead of us.
We then cut to the inside of the castle where we see Haiku & Lucy are inside admiring a portrait of Vlad the Impaler, the inspiration for Dracula. He looks a lot like Haiku, amazingly.
Haiku: Doesn't Vlad look striking?
Lucy: I see the resemblance.
Haiku: Stop, you'll make me blush.
We cut back to Jen & Nikki where we see Jen taking a tip from the Don Box.
Jen: It's an All-In.
Don: For this All-In challenge, teams must enter Dracula's castle and find an empty coffin. (we see him rise out of a coffin, vampire style) Whoever took the tip from the Don Box must then drag the coffin to the graveyard, with their teammate inside, and tip it into an open grave. (we cut to the graveyard where we see Don standing outside an open grave, a look of mock terror on his face) Creepy. Once they've completed the task, our special guest will give them their next tip. (speaking to someone offscreen) You ready for your closeup.
Unknown Individual: Of course I am. Plus, scaring the doody out of the contestants will be fun. (it seems as though our special guest speaks with a thick Jamaican accent)
Scene shows more teams collecting a tip from the Don Box. The team members that took the tips from the Don Box are Pharah, Herry, Fillmore, Jay, Cavendish, Ford, Sashi, and Bobby.
Herry: The teammate in the coffin may not get out or help at all. (chuckles) Thank goodness I took the tip.
Jay: Come on, let's go. (the teams proceed towards the castle and begin searching for a coffin)
Don: As our first 10 teams begin searching Dracula's creepy crib, the 2nd flight has landed, carrying our remaining ten teams.
Scene shows the 2nd flight landing and the bottom 10 teams racing out of the airport. Before they head for Dracula's castle, they're look at it in fear, with several teammates clutching their partners.
[Confessional: Jonesy & Jude]
Jude: There's no taxis around. But we look up the road and there's the castle.
Jonesy: (shudders) That was creepy. I got goosebumps.
Jude: Dude, when I saw the castle, I nearly took a goose-dump. (Jonesy & Jude laugh at this) Dude.
Jonesy: Jude. (they proceed to do their secret handshake)
[End Confessional]
Jude: Race ya to the top.
Jonesy: You're on. (they begin racing to the castle, with the other teams not too far behind)
We cut to the castle where we see Penn & Sashi have caught up with Jen & Nikki and are now searching for a coffin. Soon, they reach a fork in the castle.
Jen: Let's split up. Nikki and I will go to the left, you and Penn can go right.
Sashi: Great idea. That way we can cover more ground. If we find anything, we'll send a signal. How well do you know morse code? (Jen & Nikki look confused)
Penn: Or we could just text them.
Sashi: (shrugs) That works too. (they split up)
We cut to the Don Box where we see Jonesy & Jude arrive first, with Jonesy getting to the Don Box before Jude.
Jonesy: Alright, first one here. (he's about to grab the tip when Jude swipes it from him)
Jude: Sorry, bra. I called dibs. (begins reading the tip) Whoever took the tip must… (reads ahead and gains a look of shock) Ah, come on!
Jonesy: (reads the tip; fake pity) Oh, sorry dude. This isn't your lucky day.
After they leave, the rest of the teams arrive and collect their tips. The team members that took the tips from the Don Box are Atlanta, Kitty, Agent K, Genji, Rolf, Marco, Bart, Reaper, and Demoman. They all enter the castle and begin searching for a coffin. We cut to a section of the castle where we see Cavendish & Dakota, Jay & Theresa, and Stan & Ford have come across a room full of coffins.
Dakota: (entering the coffin) I don't think it would've mattered which one of us collected the tip, given the fact that we both lack upper body strength.
Cavendish: Oh hush up and get inside. (closes the coffin door. He tries pushing it, but it ends up falling on top of him)
Soon, Fillmore & Ingrid and Herry & Odie arrive. Stan's about to enter into a coffin when Ingrid notices his cell phone falling out of his pocket.
Ingrid: Hey Stan, you drop your… cell… phone. (her voice trails off when she notices the photos of the contestants on his cell) Um, Stan, Ford, what's this?
Stan: Oh, um, that. Uh… (breathes out) I found that during the first leg of the race. While I was looking for Ford's photograph, I heard voices coming from a nearby office. I was about to enter when a bright flash occurred from inside the room. When I entered, I found the place a mess. I found Ford's photograph, but I also found many photographs of the contestants who've either previously competed on the race or are currently competing in the race.
Cavendish: (gets out from underneath the coffin and begins observing the pictures) Interesting. Who do you think took these?
Jay: My guess, Reaper & Widowmaker. They want to keep tabs on everyone.
Odie: (observing the pictures) I don't think so. I mean, they're sneaky and conniving, but this doesn't seem like their style. This is someone else's doing.
Herry: Who?
Jay: We need to find out. The question is… How?
Cavendish: Well, I may have a solution. (pulls out a device) I give you, the quantum localizer. This contraption can send us to any point in time. Past, present, or future.
Dakota: (from inside the coffin) Well what are we waiting for, let's go. (he's about to get out when Cavendish stops him)
Cavendish: Remember, Dakota. You're not allowed to get out, or we'll be penalized.
Dakota: Dang it. Should've waited until before I got into the coffin.
Cavendish: Indeed. Anyway, shall we? (Cavendish sets the coordinates and a portal appears, sending everyone to the first leg)
Scene switches to the office Stan was in during the 2nd episode where we see Cavendish, Jay, Theresa, Herry, Odie, Ford, Stan, Fillmore, & Ingrid arrive via portal.
Theresa: Did we make it?
Stan: Yep. This is the office space I was in. (notices somethings are different) Although, I don't remember it being so clean. (sees a journal laying on a table) And I don't remember that. (everyone approaches the journal, with Fillmore holding it up to the light to read the title)
Fillmore: My Plan to Win the Race. By: Stewie Griffin?
Ingrid: Stewie Griffin? Wait, wasn't that the infant that was eliminated in the first episode?
Theresa: Yeah. It was. But come on, he's just a baby. He can't be that dangerous.
Jay: Never say never. There have been worse. (at that moment, they hear the doorknob beginning to turn)
Cavendish: Oh no. Someone's coming in.
Stan: That must be me from the 2nd episode. Wait, what happens if I meet my past self?
Cavendish: (scared) If you so much as look at him, you could unravel the very existence of reality and destroy the entire universe. (calming down) Well, then again, the damage would be fairly minimum and only affect our galaxy.
Stan: (unnerved) Well that's a relief.
Odie: Cavendish, get us out of here. (Cavendish presses some buttons and sends them back to Present Day Transylvania, causing a whole bunch of papers to fly all over the place. As soon as they're gone, Stan from the 2nd episode enters the room, seeing papers flying all over the place)
Stan (Episode 2): Who'd make such a mess?
Scene switches back to Dracula's castle where we see Cavendish, Jay, Theresa, Herry, Odie, Stan, Ford, Fillmore, & Ingrid arrive back at the point they previously left.
Dakota: (from inside the coffin) Hey you're back. Hope you took lots of pictures.
Odie: Actually, we brought something even better. A journal. This may very well contain the evidence we need to stop this whole operation before it takes place.
Stan: Ooo, the anticipation is killing me. Read what it says. (Odie opens up the journal and sees…)
Odie: Oh, my god. (everyone looks worried) It's blank.
Herry: What?
Odie: Look. (shows everyone the journal, which shows there's nothing written on the pages)
Cavendish: Well that was a waste.
Ingrid: Oh well. At least we tried. (she smiles at Odie, who smiles back. That's when she notices something in the reflection of Odie's glasses) Wait, what's that?
Odie: What's what?
Ingrid: Can I borrow these for a minute? (she observes the reflection on the lens and notices letters appearing. She then looks at the journal) Guys, I think there are words written here.
Jay: But I don't see anything.
Ingrid: Exactly. We can't see it. Because…
Odie: (realizing what Ingrid's getting at) It's written in invisible ink. Of course. That's what all criminal masterminds do to cover their tracks.
Stan: While I wouldn't call my brother evil, I would definitely call him a pain in the butt.
Ford: (sighs; focused) Although, he's correct.
Stan: I am?
Ford: What I mean by that is that your point about me using invisible ink in my documents is correct. And luckily, I always carry a blacklight with me. (pulls out a blacklight, shines it over the journal, revealing hidden documentations)
Theresa: What's it say?
Ingrid: It's a bunch of profiles on every team that is competing or has competed on The Ridonculous Race: Cartoon Crossover. It features everything. Strengths, weaknesses, likes, dislikes, friends, relatives, enemies, everything.
Odie: Well, that's not good. (sees something on the first page) What's this? "My Steps to Victory."
Step #1: Create a false argument between myself & Brian so that we may be eliminated first, thus allowing us to fly under the radar and monitor the teams from afar.
Herry: That's not good. Does it say anything else?
Ingrid: No. It seems to be an unfinished plan. Wait, there's something written at the bottom.
Step #?: Once I've won the million dollars and defeated the competition, I shall enjoy… (everyone reads further ahead, causing everyone to gain looks of discomfort on their faces. Herry quickly shuts the book)
Herry: Maybe we shouldn't read that far, in order to avoid lawsuits.
Stan: Man, I'd hate to be that kid's parents. They must be pretty messed up if he's that messed up.
Cavendish: Well, with the information present in this journal, we'll have to tread careful.
Odie: Yeah. And no one else can know about this.
Herry: Why not?
Odie: If anyone else found out, Brian & Stewie could find out, and we'd be their primary targets. We can't let anyone know what transpired here.
Jay: Good call. Anyway, we've wasted enough time. Let's get started with the challenge. (Theresa, Stan, Ingrid, and Odie each enter coffins and proceed towards the graveyard. While Jay, Ford, Fillmore, & Cavendish appear to be struggling, Herry has no problem carrying the coffin containing Odie)
Don: The race continues in Transylvania, as teams struggle to complete the first challenge. (we see Jonesy & Jude running away from something. After a few moments, we discover they're running away from backs. Will any of these teams make it out of Dracula's castle alive? (we then cut to Jen & Nikki walking down a hallway with Jen holding a candelabra. Not long after, we see Jen & Nikki fall through a trapdoor, causing them to scream) Probably not.
We cut to the graveyard where we see Fillmore, Herry, & Jay have arrived at the graveyard. Herry manages to get to an open grave, but is surprised to see Rolf there.
Herry: Weren't you on the second flight?
Odie: Who're you talking to? (Herry drops Odie into a grave and Rolf pushes Jonny 2x4 into a grave. Odie begins exiting the grave when notices something) Is that…
Lightning strikes in the background as well cut to a skeleton in a black robe holding a scythe.
Odie: The real Grim Reaper?!
Jonny 2x4: (terrified) Well he's not the ice cream man.
Dudley: (as Kitty's lifting up a coffin to tip into an open grave; from inside a coffin) There's ice cream?
Dick Daring: (as Agent K's lifting up a coffin to tip into an open grave; from inside a coffin) Ooo, let us out.
Kitty: Gladly. (she & Agent K tip the coffins into open graves)
Herry: (helping Odie out of the grave) Come on, let's go. (he turns and sees Grim standing right behind him. He then pulls out his scythe, which has a tip attached to the sharp end, causing Herry & Odie to scream and fall backwards into a grave. Grim holds out his scythe and Herry takes a tip) Oh, uh, thanks. (reading the tip) Ride on horseback to the Romanian Gymnastic Training Center and find the Don Box. Horseback? (they hear a horse neigh and see several horses nearby neighing and kicking up their legs as lightning strikes in the background)
Odie: Okay, now that's some impressive cinematography. (he & Herry and Archie & Atlanta get onto horses and begin riding towards the Gymnastics Center)
We cut back to the castle where we see Haiku & Lucy have found the coffin room and are admiring the coffins.
Haiku: (sighs in pleasure) Vintage hexagon oakwood with Corinthian leather interior. Nice.
Lucy: (steps inside the coffin and assumes the form of a dead person) Take me to the grave digger. (Haiku shuts the coffin door)
[Confessional: Haiku & Lucy]
Haiku: Modern coffins are so flimsy.
Lucy: When I die, I wanna be buried in one that was made during the plague. They really knew how to make a coffin last.
Haiku: So true.
[End Confessional]
We then see Penn & Sashi have arrived in the coffin room and are texting Jen & Nikki their location.
Penn: You think they got our message? (at that moment, a cell phone falls on his head, causing him to fall over. Sashi catches it and sees her message on it. She then looks up and sees Jen & Nikki falling and screaming. Luckily, they manage to land in a coffin)
Sashi: Yes, I think they did. (approaching them) I think you dropped this.
Jen: Thanks. (she gets out of the coffin. Nikki's about to exit when Jen stops her) Stay in there. It's a part of the challenge, remember?
Nikki: Right. (lays in the coffin. Penn gets into a coffin, allowing for Jen & Sashi to begin dragging their partners towards the graveyard)
Scene switches to outside the graveyard where we see Haiku & Lucy arrive. They're about to enter when Lucy stops Haiku.
Lucy: (from inside the coffin) Stop. (Haiku sets down the coffin. Lucy rises out of the coffin like a vampire) I know it's against the rules, but this might be your only chance. (turns towards the camera) Well, the only one you'll remember. (turning back towards Haiku) Get in!
Soon, Haiku's in the coffin and Lucy begins dragging her towards an open grave. We see more teams have completed the challenge.
Homer: Now Bart, lower me gently and… (Bart manages to tip the coffin into the grave, causing Homer to winch in pain. Then, Grim appears and presents Bart with a tip attached to his scythe. Although, as opposed to scared, he's actually impressed) Cool. (taking the tip. We then cut to Marco pushing Star into a grave)
Star: Ow. I think I broke a nail. (Grim presents Marco with a tip, but the sight of the scythe in his face, and Grim's appearance, causes him to scream and fall into the grave atop Star) Now I broke three nails.
We then see Lucy tipping Haiku into the grave. Once Haiku exits the grave, Grim approaches them.
Grim: Greetings, young ones. Is it I, the Grim Reaper, here to present you with your next tip. (notices their clothing) Nice outfits. Ooo, is that a real Reaper cloak in purple. Nice.
Haiku: Oh brother, another scam artist.
Lucy: We're not falling for that one again, poser.
Grim: What are you talking about? (he then looks and sees Reaper tipping Widowmaker into an open grave) Oh, now I see. Well, that guy's definitely a fake, but I'm the real Grim Reaper.
Haiku: Oh please, what Grim talks with a Jamaican accent?
Lucy: And comments on people's clothing?
Grim: Perhaps a demonstration's in order. (removes his skull from his body, causing Haiku & Lucy to gasp in shock, as he evilly laughs, with flames shooting up in the background)
Lucy: Gasp. You are the Grim Reaper. (looking and proceeding to bow)
Haiku: Oh, mighty lord of death. We pledge our undying loyalty, to you and only you. Take our immortal souls, and let them forever bask in your image.
Grim: Hmmm. (takes out some spectacles and clipboard. He then flips some pages before landing on the page he was looking for) Haiku & Lucy? Sorry, but you still have a few years to go. (they sigh) Don't worry, I'll be waiting for you. (they smile. They take the tip and leave. Reaper & Widowmaker then approach Grim)
Reaper: Out time please.
Grim: Just wait a few moments.
We then cut to Herry & Odie and Archie & Atlanta riding horses towards the Gymnastics Center as orchestral music plays in the background.
Atlanta: There's the training center. (the top 2 teams arrive and proceed to collect their tips from the Don Box)
Odie: It's a Botch or Watch. Gymnastics?
Don: (holding onto still rings) Gymnastics. Nastics that take place in a gym. (looks to someone offscreen, a look of annoyance on his face) Seriously? Where do you keep finding these bozos? I've already had to fire three screenwriters. Soon it'll be an even four. (turning back towards the camera) Whoever didn't swim with sharks in the Mediterranean must perform two gymnastic feats. First, walk a balance beam and land a split jump at the center. (performs the feat) High school team. (a football then appears and hits him in the cojones. We then see him in a different location) Second, complete a flip over this vaulting horse. (performs the feat, but loses his composure midway) No, no, no, no, no! (lands on the ground with a hard thud. Another football appears and hits him in the cojones, offscreen. We then see him holding onto his cojones while standing next to a gruff-looking coach who's holding a football) Get a thumbs up from this local judge, Belá Karaoke…
Belá Karaoke: I hate everything.
Don: And it's a foot race down that road… (scene switches to him at the Chill Zone) to the Chill Zone. Last team to arrive, could be heading home. (we cut back to the training center where we see Don standing next to Belá Karaoke while still holding his cojones in pain; high-pitched) Do you have any ice?
We see Archie & Odie getting ready to begin the challenge. While looks nervous, Archie looks confident.
Atlanta: You got this, Archie.
Herry: Come on, Odie.
Archie's the first one to begin the challenge, and manages to complete both feats with impeccable skill, earning a thumbs up from the judge.
Archie: Let's go, Atlanta. (they leave and begin racing towards the Chill Zone, which they get to in no time thanks to Atlanta's speed)
Don: First place goes to the Warriors. Congrats. (they cheer and chest bump before leaving the mat) The race for first has ended, but the race for not last is ongoing. (we cut to the graveyard where we see the last few teams finishing the challenge. Soon, Grim has given tips to everyone except for Reaper & Widowmaker, who he's still holding up)
Reaper: Come on, we're in last! Give us the tip!
Grim: Hold on. (waits for the other teams to be out of eyeshot) Okay now you can go. (gives them a tip, much to their annoyance, and they quickly begin following the other teams) That'll teach you to impersonate me. You give Grim Reapers a bad name. (once they've left) That felt satisfying holding them up, so that they fall behind and end up in last place. (he then gets a phone call) Hello? (his mode darkens and he sighs, sorrowfully) Yes, Mandy. I'll be right there. (hangs up) Well it was fun while it lasted, but know I have to go back to serving eternity with the Queen of Mean and the King of Stupid. (opens a portal which takes him home)
Scene switches to the gymnastics center where we see most of the teams have arrived and begun the challenge. The team members participating the challenge are Kitty, Ingrid, Agent K, Ana, Reaper, Marco, Jonny 2x4, Nikki, Genji, Cavendish, Penn, Theresa, Ford, Jonesy, Bobby, Haiku, Pyro, & Bart. We see Pyro managing to do the balance beam segment with impressive skill, much to Demoman's shock. We then see Bobby trying to complete the balance beam, but he loses his balance and falls off. Haiku, however, easily completes the balance beam. We then Jonny 2x4 running, about to begin the vaulting horse, but as he jumps onto the trampoline, he isn't able to jump up due to his abnormally large head. We then see Ingrid use Jonny 2x4 as her leverage, propelling her up into the air. Odie looks at her beauty in full form and sees her land on the mat in slow-motion, loving every second of it. Ingrid manages to get a thumbs up and leaves with Fillmore, with Odie watching her as she leaves. However, he fails to notice Jonny 2x4 landing on top of him, allowing for Jonny 2x4 manages to get a thumbs up. Soon, Agent K, Kitty, Genji, Penn, Odie, Theresa, and Pyro complete the challenge and begin racing towards the Chill Zone. We cut to the Chill Zone where we see Fillmore & Ingrid have arrived.
Don: 2nd place.
Fillmore: Cool. (they fist bump and leave the mat. Jonny 2x4 & Rolf arrive soon afterwards)
Don: 3rd place.
Rolf: A fine place for us, yes? (they leave the mat. Soon, more teams begin arriving and check in. Scene shows the order in which they arrived)
4th! [Agent K & Dick Daring]
5th! [Dudley & Kitty]
6th! [Hanzo & Genji]
7th! [Demoman & Pyro]
8th! [Herry & Odie]
9th! [Jay & Theresa]
10th! [Penn & Sashi]
Don: With half the placements gone, it's now a race for anything except last.
We see Jonesy getting ready to do the split jump on the balance beam. However, rather than landing on his feet, he lands on his cojones causing him to wail in pain and fall off the balance beam, still holding his cojones in pain. We then see Marco attempting the vaulting horse, but as he's in the air, he ends up hitting one of the lights, electrocuting himself. Amazingly, he manages to land on his feet, earning a thumbs up from the judge. Soon, Ana, Bart, Bobby, Jonesy, Ford, and Haiku complete the challenge and race towards the Chill Zone. Scene switches to the Chill Zone where we see Marco & Star have arrived.
Don: 11th place. (they cheer and exit the mat. Soon, more teams show up and get checked in. Scene shows the order in which they arrived)
12th! [Ana & Pharah]
13th! [Ford & Stan]
14th! [Jonesy & Jude]
15th! [Bobby & Ronnie Anne]
Don: (Bart & Homer arrive at the mat) 16th place. Huh, I wonder where the Goths are?
Haiku: (offscreen) We're right here. (Bart, Homer, & Don scream when they see Haiku & Lucy silently standing on the mat)
Don: How long have you been standing there?
Lucy: We got here before Ford & Stan.
Don: Wha- How is anyone that quiet?! (composes himself) Anyway, I would say you're in 13th…
Haiku: The unluckiest number.
Lucy: And my personal favorite number.
Don: But you broke rules with the coffin. In which case, you've received a 20-minute penalty.
A 20:00 timer appears onscreen. However, the Goths appear to remain emotionless.
Homer: (whispering to Don) Are they still alive?
Don: In all honesty, I can't tell. (Homer & Bart, slightly unnerved, leave the mat) With only three teams out there, the Goths look nervous. (the Goths show no emotion, but Don still goes with it) That's what you get for breaking the rules.
Lucy: It was worth it.
Scene switches to the Gymnastics Center where we see Cavendish manage to stick the landing, earning him a thumbs up. Nikki follows soon afterwards, and she & Jen race towards the Chill Zone. After several failed attempts, Reaper finally succeeds. It's basically a foot race now.
Don: I can see the last few teams approaching. It doesn't look good for the Goths. (the Goths still don't show any emotion)
[Confessional: Haiku & Lucy]
Lucy: Well, if we get booted, this will still be the best night ever. (she smiles)
Haiku: Being in that coffin, I've never felt so alive. (she smiles as well)
[End Confessional]
The timer is down to 1:00, as the bottom three teams begin sprinting in order to stay in the game, while Goths still show no emotion to their possible elimination. Soon, the penalty expires.
Don: Goths, your penalty is over! (however, just before they get onto the Chill Zone, Jen & Nikki, Cavendish & Dakota, and Reaper & Widowmaker breeze right past them) Best Friends 17th, Time Travelers 18th, and Talon Mercenaries 19th. (the Goths step onto the mat) Well Goths, you're the last team to arrive. I thought I would be saying this on day 1, but here it is. You've been eliminated. (they show no emotion, as usual) I wish you luck in whatever circus or cult you end up in. Go away. (they walk away, saying nothing, and showing no emotion. Once they're gone, Don turns towards the camera) Wanna know who's going next? Keep watching, The Ridonculous Race: Cartoon Crossover.
Scene switches to an unknown location where we see Stewie trying to find something. Brian enters seeing Stewie's workstation is a complete mess.
Brian: Uh Stewie, what's going on?
Stewie: I can't seem to find my journal.
Brian: What journal?
Stewie: The journal the documents my entire plan for winning the race. Well, only the first step, I'm working on the rest.
Brian: (looks around and notices a book behind an overturned table. He grabs it and finds it to be a journal) Is this it?
Stewie: Yes. There it is. (he then realizes something) No wait, that's a carbon copy I created in case I lost the first one. Well, I guess it will do. I just hope no one finds my actual journal.
Brian: Why? What's the big deal? It's an unfinished plan. They'd have no idea what you and I are up to.
Stewie: Actually, I added a special microchip to both of them, so that anything written in either journal would be copied into the other, so I wouldn't have to write the whole thing over again. If they found my journal, they'd know everything.
Brian: Well I'm sure you just misplaced it. Plus, there's no way anyone would be able to read it. You write with invisible ink, remember?
Stewie: Oh yes, that's correct. I guess we're in the clear. (a music sting plays, causing Brian & Stewie to look around, confused) What was that?
Brian: Probably nothing. (they leave)
We then cut to the alliance of the Safety Patrollers, Brothers, Daters, Time Travelers, and Complete Opposites talking as we zoom in on the journal as dramatic music plays in the background)
Hey everyone, hoped you all liked this chapter of The Ridonculous Race: Cartoon Crossover (Season 2). This is actually one of my favorite episodes from The Ridonculous Race, just behind I Love Ridonc & Roll and Hello and Dubai. I figured that, since the Goths were in the competition, I had to take them to Transylvania. Speaking of the Goths, I eliminated them because, with the reveal that Reaper was lying to them about who he was, they didn't have much plot going forward, so I had to eliminate them at this point. Still, at least they went out on a high note. Now, concerning the alliance discovering Stewie's plan, well, you'll just have to read and find out what they're up to. Now as always, please like and review and I'll see you all next time. La Revedere.
