Also, don't worry. I'm gonna try releasing RR each week...not sure if that was you or some other guest asking that.
Okay then, let's begin!
"Last time on Total Drama Cruise", Chris recap, "We arrive in the swamp. It was my intern time to shine by introducing another break in of a Cobra base! Where they have to go through lasers, traps, and a ninja. But wait, things get insane when a bunch of fans of my show break out and destroy the base. Good god, I wish I was there instead of somewhere else, doing boring paper discussion. At the end, Satoshi was gone, leaving poor Yuka alone. Who will be vote off? And who will learn something new? And will those fanfics writers get revenge on me? hope not. Found out now on Total Drama Cruise!"
It was daytime on the Cruise Ship. Sammy was in the cafeteria, making some bracelets out of shells and nods. She was making two of them for her and for Tokoyami to remember one another. deep love bloom into her hightest heart, as she was hoping her and Tokoyami could make it to the merge. She wasn't alone, however. Mako sat beside her, seeing some daydreaming eyes. She asked, "Hey, what're you making?"
"Oh, just some bracelets", She replied, not paying any attention to Mako, "Me and him..." She sigh lovely, her hand place on her cheek and her forearm on the table.
"Awww, that's cute", Mako remark, "I think you would be perfect for each other; Owning a house, working together, having kids-"
"Let's not mention that!" Sammy break off from her daydreaming, but resume back, "Though that does sound sweet".
"I know".
"Yeah, me and him would be perfect as finalist.
This startle Mako a bit, "finalist?"
"Yeah. I decided maybe he and me would be perfect, considering...well...we are made for each other, you know".
"And you already decided, without asking him?"
"Well..."
"Uhhh...I don't want to burst your bubble or anything, but what if Tokoyami refuse".
"Huh, what do you mean?" Sammy asked, now coming back to reality.
"I mean, it's very cute you want him to be your finalist, but I'm not too sure he would accept it. After all, he doesn't seem like the type of person to try getting himself to be a finalist".
"Come on, he'll accept it..." She then look down to her bracelet, "Could he?"
Statics, cut to Sammy.
"I'm feeling a bit worry. What if one of us get vote off? What if that day come when me and him would be sperated and never be able to see each other again? God, just thinking about it is making my heart race. I should probably go ask Tokoyami right now".
Statics.
Brendan suddenly appear to them, telling both of them, "Guys, you got to come and see this".
"What? Why?" Sammy asked.
"Uhh, let just some unexpected guest appear on our deck".
In the control room, Chris was looking at their next destination on a map, "Hmm, where to?...where to?...", He mutter and turn to Copperhead, asking him, "Hey, do we have any challenges coming up?"
Copperhead replied, still steering, "I don't know. Did you ask the producers?"
"I did, but they only say we should use requested challenges from our fans", Chris said, "Also, the producers really want me to speed this show up for next season, probably because of...Don. He's been lately getting alot of attention when he announces a new season with some unique caste! How am I suppose to beat that?!"
"Well...you could try doing a double elimination round", Copperhead suggest, "That could speed the show up and get to next season. Heck, it could make things more interesting".
"Yeah, but still. The producers state I can't overuse it. They only let me use it, when the show needed to spice things up".
"Oh, that makes sense".
Chris thought about it, "Hmmm, I guess we could go to that dimension someone requested for us from their world. They seem kinda...oddly suspicious".
"What, is there a problem?"
"Nah, just type in the coordinates", Chris order him, and Copperhead press a few buttons to set up a portal. Then, Phantasma appear to him, "Uhh, what is it now?"
"Chris, I think you should come out and look".
"Huh, what'd you mean", Chris follow her outsie on the deck, and see something that surprises him. Every walls, every vents, every pool slide, and everything were graffiti, with words like "What's up, chumps?", "Spinel was here", "Clean me", and "What a mess".
Everyone was on the deck, having the same reaction as Chris, who was awestruck at the scene, "What's going on here?! Why is my entire ship graffiti?!"
"Uhhh, Chris Mclean, I don't want to interrupt your dismay, but..." Starscream shouted, having green pain smear his face, "A FREAK CAME OUT OF NOWHERE AND THROW A CAN AT ME!"
"Yeah, that's good and all", Chris didn't really care the fact one of his contestant was harm, "But seriously, who's responsible for this?!"
"Some gem or something name Spinel, came and graffiti around here", Ryuko replied, "I think she mention something about her doing a dare from Total Drama. And something about Deadpool".
"And she said, she wasn't here to harm anyone", Armin added, glaring at Starscream, "Well...if you can count him as being harm".
This made Starscream groan even more, wanting payback on that Spinel character.
Chris seem to understood what they meant, muttering, "Darn...didn't know myself can do that. Thought I was the only one".
"So Chris, what're we going to do?" Sammy asked the host about this whole mess.
"Here what I'm going to do", Chris explain, "My interns will clean this place nice and dandy, while we begin our next challenge".
Everyone groan, including the interns.
"Hey, get use to it", Chris said, "So our next challenge is starting...now!"
Then, a portal open up beneth them and suck them right in.
After the Cruise Ship drop down a patch of dirt land, everyone was standing infront of a forest. The forest itself seem normal. In fact, everything seem normal with the grey sky and red mountains in the background. They wonder what kind of world is this. Chris arrive and appear in front of them, "Welcome to Third Earth!"
"Third Earth?" Ryuko then asked, "That's what it's called?"
"Yes", Chris continue, "Now most of you might be wondering what kind of challenge will it be. Will it be gruesome? terrifiying? merciless! Inhumane torture?!"
"Just get over it already!" Starscream yelled, "After that incident, I am really stressful right now".
"Wait, you being stressful?" Sanji asked, "I thought you always had a angey issue".
"Fine. in actuality", Chris state, "You guys will go into these forest and found something that interest me".
"Wait, that's the challenge?" Brendan asked, a bit underwhelm by Chris statement. Same goes to the others, "You want us to go in there and found some stuff that could interest you?"
"Yep, it can be anything"
However, even if the challenge seem alright, all of them knew there's something fishy. It doesn't matter some of them were relieve, they knew Chris is hiding something.
"Okay, what's going on?" Sammy asked, demanding straight forward, "Is there traps behind these forest?"
"Nope, not at all".
They all remain silent. Chris grunted and said, "Alright, there is some things I must warn you about. In those forest, there are some crazy nut jobs".
"Really, who?" Mako asked.
"I don't know, but all I know they contact me and want me to make this as a challenge for you. There, happy?"
Statics, cut to Tokoyami.
"There is something lurking in those forest. I can feel it".
Statics.
Chris begin to walk back and forth, not taking an eye out at them, "As I was saying, you guys can grab and get anything that would interest me. It has to be something amazing and unique. I don't want to see anything that look boring, lame, or just cheap. First team to grasp my interest will win a...Uhh..." Chris stop and pull out a mug with Chris face on it, "A mug shot with my face on it".
None of them seem interested of it.
"Wow Chris, you really are hitting low, huh?" Ryuko sarcastically comment.
"Hey, that's what you get when you give them too much to do on a Cruise Ship. Now then, anyone have a question?"
Everyone don't even raise their hand, since they knew Chris will most likey just decline it.
"Huh, smart move", Chris remark, a bit disappointed, "Anyhow, get moving! Oh, Screaming Sponge. Remember, Aqua is now offline because of that free pass. So good luck without her".
Statics, cut to Ryuko.
"I have no idea what we're up against. I hope it's not a monster".
"You really expect anything nice from that guy?" Senkestu asked.
"No, I just thought he would take a break from it. Seriously, how much money does he have?!"
"He's a TV host. Obviously, he has enough money to built a dimensional ship".
Statics.
"Alright team! Let's go out and found some...ummm...stuff!" Lindsay raise her fist in the air, which made everyone groan. She saw this and told them, "Come on! We don't want to act so down a lot. Let's focus more on the game, like what we did last time".
"Yeah...Yeah!", Starscream look down at his team, "Blondie is right! We should focus more on the challenge. That way, we ge to the merge more faster. Think about it".
They all think, and seem to agree. Not by Lindsay, but by Starscream implications.
"Hey, Sha-Starscream got a point", Lightning agree, "We should focus more on the game".
"Yes, totally, not lying, agree", Alastor added, "Let us put our differences aside and win this".
"Yeah!" Everyone shouted together, and proceed themselves to the forest.
Statics, cut to Lindsay.
"Finally, they actually understood my statement. I'm actually so proud of them".
Statics, cut to Starscream.
"As if I'm going to still work with them. Alastor already knew I was going force my team to vote him out. I'm just agreeing with her, so when we do get to the merge, I'll crush him!"
Statics, cut to Alastor.
"Ha! working together with him. Ahahahahahahahaha! No! I will just happily agree, so I can wait for the perfect time to strike and plan out my strategy".
Statics.
While walking in the forest, Sammy wanted to talk with Tokoyami. She came up next to him, and asked, "Hey Tokoyami, may I talk with you about something?"
"Umm, Sure".
"I've been thinking lately, and I wanna to asked-"
"If you want me to a movie with you, yes".
"Wait, really?" Sammy asked him.
Tokoyami replied, "Of coarse, if it means spending more time with you, certainly".
"Wow, that's...uhhh...fantastic", Sammy blush herself, but was getting off track. She resume back, asking him, "Okay, that's not what I was going to ask. I want to asked, do you want to be my finalist?"
"This surprises Tokoyami, "Huh, really?"
"Yes, I'm asking you this", Sammy stop and look at him, "I been thinking for a while, and I decided that we should be the finalist".
She grab his hand and place it to her, "Together".
Tokoyami was surprise and was very happy to hear it. But his mind knew it would never happen, "Sammy, I appericate it very much, but I don't think that could happen".
"What?"
"It could happen, Sammy; But I am certain that day wouldn't come for us, due to the amount of friends we made around here. It be foolish for us to even sabotage the challenge".
"I don't want to be the villain".
"Me either. And look, I like you to be my finalist, I really do. But as a hero, I got to sacrfiice that in order to keep you and the others safe".
"I...understood", Sammy look down, rubbing her arm. Both of them do want to be in the finale, wanting to win for eachother; Knowing the show, it could be possible. But there will be sacrifices to get to that point, and they can't get themselves to do it.
After a long silent, Sammy then asked him, "You know, even if we don't ever get to that point, do you still want to make out?"
He pause and look at her, "I...asssume so, I guess".
This made her chuckle, as if those complicated matters were gone already. She then grab him and throw him in the bushes, where she and him make out.
Statics, cut to Sammy.
"I understand his reason. He is from world of heros after all. I guess asking him that question wasn't a good idea. But hey, at least we made out".
Statics.
Ryuko and her team proceed through the forest. Everything seem grim, with dying plants everywhere, the trees looking more darker, and the grey sky looking likely to rain at any moment.
"What are we going to look for?" Mako asked, looking around. Some were creep out, and others were fascinated. She was both afraid and curious.
"I have no idea", Ryuko replied.
"I mean, he did state we could find anything", Mikey state, with Eddy fearfully shaking behind him from the forest itself.
"Maybe we should split up", Brendan suggest, "That way, it would be more easier to search for something". ".
"Are you crazy?!" Eddy asked, "Chris state there some nut jobs around here! Maybe we should stay together".
"Hmm, Maybe Brendan got a point", Ryuko stop and turn toward Mikey, "Mikey, are you certain you can keep an eye on these kids?"
"Certainly, no problem".
"Wait, you serious?!" Eddy was freaking out.
Without more questions, Ryuko drag Mako along with her and ran off, shouting to them, "Meet us back here when you guys found anything!"
Statics, cut to Ryuko.
"I want to take the time to discuss with Mako about Aqua. Even as leader, I'm still not gonna allow her to stay here much longer. She maybe lucky to get that reward, but she'll soon be crying".
Statics.
The Shrimp Raiders were still walking through the forest, with Lindsay saying to them, "Okay everyone, listen up! We all need to scatter and found this...something something, so we could win and get that mug, who's with me?"
She turn and see everyone, except Armin, gone. She asked him, "Uhh, where did they gone too?"
"You said we should scatter", Armin told her, "I'm only still here because unlike the others; I, at least, listen before I go".
"Oh, that makes sense".
"Anyways, should we continue our search?" Armin asked.
Lindsay thought about it, and replied, "I guess so...but I wanna to pick out some cute flowers".
"Why?"
"I don't know...want to join me?"
"Uhhh, sure. I guess", Armin accept, shyly. Then being drag by her.
Back at the Cruise, Aqua was laying on a chair next to the pool. Relaxing and enjoying a sip of alcohol, "Ah, this is the life. Finally, some relaxation. This is the best reward that this show ever gave me. Usually some of them suck in my world; but now, I can do anything I want, while those losers are out there, doing the dirty work
While she was staring up in the sky with her arms wrap around her back head she thought of something, "Hey, since they're gone, maybe I can do a few payback on Ryuko! Yeah".
She stood up, fisting her grip, "I'll go to her room and ruin everything! Brilliant! That will show her!"
Ryuko and Mako were still passing through the forest. Ryuko was walking serious, while Mako was skipping. Ryuko said to her, "Hey Mako, I need to discuss you about Aqua".
"Oh her? Yeah, it's too bad none of us gotten that pass".
"No, I meant, we should talk about Aqua. And by that, I mean her actions, lately".
"Hmm, what do you want to talk about?"
"Well, let's see..." Ryuko try to come up what to say, and both of them stop on their track, "She's getting an advantage on us. After her secret was reveal, we still loses in some way. So Mako, I'm asking you, if you don't mind keeping an eye on her".
"Okay", Mako quickly responded, which surprises her.
"Wait, seriously?"
"Yeah, if we going to keep Aqua from doing any trouble, then I'll be assistant".
"Huh, Wow", Ryuko place both her arms on her wraist, "I mean, I would've expect somekind weird, shapeshifting dance you always did, but I guess not".
"kinda think of it, I don't seem to recall ever doing that again, beside the first day".
"Yeah, it is kinda weird", Ryuko comment and asked, "Did you hype ran out? I mean, you were still hyper active, right?"
"Totally", Mako replied, "I don't know what happen. Am I becoming a lot slower because of the challenges?"
"I don't know".
The sound of a bush rattling was heard. Both of them stop from what they were doing, and look around. They heard a laughter, coming behind. Looking back, they see a tall man coming out from the trees. He was lanky, has very long arms, holding what a appear to be psych club, and has long, white and blue hair. He was grinning, which made ryuko knew this isn't good. She push Mako behind, and pull out her scissor swords.
The man responded, "My, my, what a couple of ladies roaming around here, all helpess and alone, hehehahahahaha!"
"Who the hell are you?!" Ryuko demanded.
"Ryuko, I think he's not a good guy", Mako whisper.
"Yeah, think I didn't notice his creepy smile?" She sarcastically replied.
"The name is Alluro and you are not going anyway", He said softly, holding out his club. She back away further.
"Ggr, there something isn't right about this person", Ryuko thought, then told Alluro, "Well, whatever you are, you better stay back!"
"I don't think you understand. you should try relaxing", He then throw from his club a orb a her, which produces a shower blue, glimmering lights onto her and Mako.
"What...the hell...am I feeling?" Ryuko was unable to move or fight back. She was feeling dizzy, like something is messing with her head. Mako also suffer the same thing.
Alluro began to speak, "Your are mine. You are unable to fight back. You must surrender".
"As if, jacka**!"
Clenching her teeth, she refuse to back down. Holding on her grip, Alluro kept on speaking, "Heheheh, you can't stand a chance. No one stand against me. Put your weapon down, and submit to me".
"Never!"
"It's a simple request", Alluro approach her, "You can't defeat me. You are under my control. Give up, give up. There's no chance you could beat me".
He stop right at front her, arms on his wraist. She can only see Alluro, looking much more taller and taller than Starscream for some reason. At that point, she knew what he was doing. He is trying to mind control. Ryuko told Mako, "Mako! Don't...gggrr...submit to him. He's trying to force us to be his dirty slaves!"
It wad too late, Mako had already been control. Her eyes swirl and her mouth drooling, "But he's right. We can't defeat him".
"Mako!"
"Yes, do as I say", He continue, "Submit to me, and I won't harm you. Now, give me that sword of yours".
He hold out his hand to her, wanting her to release her grip. She shut her eyes, trying to fight back in some way.
Brendan stop, getting the attention of Mikey and Eddy, who were a bit confuse why He kept looking back.
"Hey dude, what's wrong?" Mikey asked, "Getting uhh...a bit hungry?"
"Does he even look hungry, pal?" Eddy asked Mikey, arms on his wraist.
"Come on...he could be. You can't continue walking with a empty stomach".
Brendan replied, "I'm having a bad feeling there something wrong over there".
Mikey scratch his head, "Uhh, what'd you mean?"
"Mikey...maybe I should go check on Ryuko and Mako".
"What? Why?" Eddy bluff it off, "They'll be fine. You saw them fight earlier, didn't you? I think they can handle something dangerous".
"I don't know", Brendan told him, "I'm getting bad vibe over there. I should probably go there and see if they needed my help".
"Seriously, you are literally going to leave us?!" Eddy was puzzle by Brendan statement, who look back to him, "Who cares what they doing. I just want to get this over with!"
"Woah, Eddy dude, let me talk with him", Miket approach Brendan, "You sure you want to do this?"
"If Ryuko help me before, then I need to repay her back in some way or form".
Mikey thought this over. He was meant to watch over them, like a gaurdian. However, he saw Brendan can take very good care to himself. So he reluctantly allow him to go, "Fine then, Dude. But make sure you call out your name loudly, if there's something wrong, got it?"
Brendan nodded, and headed straight at where Ryuko and Mako location.
Eddy was beyond disbelief. He approach Mikey, saying to him, "That kid is going to get himself kill".
"Eh, he could handle it".
Statics, cut to Mikey.
"Was that irresponsible, yes. But when I see a dude caring for another dude, I know I can't preven that...that's why I can't prevent Peter getting vote off...man, I miss him".
Statics.
"Sha-Darn, how are we going to found anything in this crummy forest", Lightning complain, joing with him was Yuka, looking really deadpan and uninterest with Lightning, "What'd you think little girl?"
"I don't know, your the leader after all", Yuka sarcastically replied, "Figure that out, great one".
"Sha-right I am", Lightning said, "That's why I'm the first to lead our alliance...no offense for voting off your brother".
"I swear, I need to depart away from him", Yuka thought, "He's beginning to annoyed me. God, I miss onii chan. I wonder if Lindsay alliance is still open? She seem a lot nicer".
Out of nowhere, Lightning suddenly got frozen by someone coming out of the bushes. This shock Yuka out of her mind, and look at the figure itself. It is a female that is dress in all white and blue, has white hair and a moon symbol; She has tiny horns, having light, blue skin, and has a cape on.
The figure began to laugh, in a raspy and shrill voice, "Hahahahahahaha, what a idiot, not keeping an eye on the road".
Yuka began to back away, stuttering, "Who-who are you?"
"The name's Chilla", She said, "And you little girl are going to be ice cold".
She ipen her mouth and start blowing frozen particles at her. Luckily, she dodge it and ran away, making Chilla laugh even more, "Ahahahahahaha, where you going, little girl? The fun has already started!"
She then began to chase after her.
Brendan was heading back to where Ryuko and Mako left off. While he walk through the forest, he heard a cried of help. Stopping, he look around and heard another plead for help. He approach the sound, getting closer to it through the bushes. There, he see a little, cripple, small and tiny girl on the ground, unable to get up. She huddle, and move, but still no avail. Brendan wonder who this women is? But his question was put aside, believeing it to be just a native of this planet.
"Help! Someone! Anybody?" The creature cried out.
He came to her rescue, and pick the women up.
She responded, "Thanks you sooo much, young boy. Without you, I would've been eaten alive by any predator".
"Umm, no problem, mam'm", Brendan said, looking down at her, "Say, who are you?"
"I'm Luna, from a race of Lunataks", Luna explain, "I was simply minding my own buisness, until a feral beast jump on me and made me fell off a tree, making me unable to get up".
"that's unfortunate", Brendan remark, feeling bad for the women.
"I know. I'm just glad someone came to resuce me. Thanks you so much, young man".
"Your welcome. Well, if you don't mind", Brendan told her, "I really need to go now. I hope you be okay out here".
"Wait, can I come with you?"
Brendan stop again, and look at her, "Huh?"
"I have no where to go and I wonder if I could tag along? You know, if any dangerous beast try to attack me again".
Brendan wasn't certain about it. Sure, he help a helpless lady, but he wasn't too fond with someone he never knew tagging along with him, "I don't know...I'm kinda in a hurry and-"
"Please? Mister uhhh..."
"Brendan".
"Yes, please Brendan? Would you mind?"
Brendan thought this over. She seem harmless enough, looking like she wouldn't do any harm on him, "Alright. I guess it wouldn't bother me".
"Yay!" Luna hop on his back and they both make their way through the forest, with Luna giving out a sinister grin.
Statics, cut to Brendan.
"I wasn't really too sure to trust her. I just want to go check on Ryuko and that's it. Something about her moon symbol seem suspicious".
Statics.
"Stupid gem fool", Starscream mumble to himself, going deeper into the forest, "Dare to throw a can at me! The greatness of Starscream!"
He try to calm himself down a bit, restraining his anger, "Okay, Okay, just cool down a bit".
He sigh, looking around in the forest, "Alright, I need to keep myself on the game. I already screw up for being too confident on Alastor losing, so I need to focus on the game, and get rid of him later. Yeah, just focus on the main challenge".
Starscream felt off in these forest. It felt like he is diving too much, feeling the darkness covering in him, "Man, this place is getting a bit too dark".
After walking through and searching for anything, he step on nothing. No dirt ground, or any land at all. Instead, he feel nothing, but air. Thinking about it, he came to a shocking conclusion. He was off the cliff. He scream and fell from the height.
Somewhere elsewhere, Sanji has set up a trap for Lightning. He put a ditch, cover with leafs and sticks, to try pulling him in his trap of his.
He rub his hand and said to himself, "Perfect, let's see who's saying SHABAM! Now".
Statics, cut to Sanji.
"Okay, I may have going a little too far. But that guy is getting payback one way or another".
Statics.
"Welp, guess it's time for me to go get Lightning, and tell him what I found", Sanji walk away to search for him, "Luckily, he's too stupid to even think this was a trap".
Suddenly, Yuka rush out of the bushes and bump into Sanji arm. Confuse, he asked her, "Hey, what's wrong? Why are you running?"
Scare, she hid behind him, telling him, "Sanji! We gotta get out of here! A creepy women is after me and-"
"Wait, did you say Women?" Sanji asked, his eyes widen, and his expression was more shock and curious.
"Uhhh, Yes, but she's pure evil and frozen Lightning and-"
Yuka squeak when seeing Chilla come out of the bushes, and standing there, noticing her and Sanji. He turn and his jaw drop. A beautiful, sexy women was now infront of him. His eyes made contact to her, and the women herself seem flatter by it. In fact, she approach him and asked, "My, my, who are you? hot shot?"
"I...I...uhhh", Sanji stuttering and murmuring, unable to move or speak.
"Sanji! Come on!" Yuka try desperatly to pull him, but with no avail.
After Chilla came very close to him, Sanji finally has the gut to speak out, "I'm...Sanji...yours?"
"Chilla", She replied, "Chilla is my name, and you seem like a smoking, hot man".
"Well, I..."
"Especially wearing all black and yellow. That makes my skin sweat a little".
Sanji gulp, "Well, I mean...I am quite the attractive one, soooo..."
She curl her tongue and place her hand next to his cheeks, making him blush, "You love my voice, do you?"
"Uh huh".
"My hair?"
"Uh huh".
"My dress?"
"Uh huh".
"You love everything, do you?" Chilla asked, making him nodded, grinning and motionless. This baffle Yuka, can't believe what she seeing here.
"Well, you know what I personally like?" Chilla whisper, flirting through his ears, "A kiss".
This made Sanji blood stop. Now, he is getting a kiss from this mysterious, hot stranger. He shrill in his mind, gleefully accepting it, "Oh yeah! I love kissing!"
"Then if you don't mind", Chilla and Sanji lips made contact to each other, with Yuka yelling at him, "Stop! She's going to freeze you!"
It was too late. Because of his lust, he was now frozen by Chilla kiss. She laugh at his foolish mistake, and remark to herself, "What a pathetic excuse of a man. Now, it's your turn little girl".
She dodge right off into the forest again, with Chilla continue pursing her.
Statics, cut to Yuka.
"What a idiot. I try everything to get his attention. I even warn him! Maybe next time, I should probably trust anyone, beside him".
Statics.
Brendan still kept on pushing through the forest with the company of Luna. She asked him, "So where are you going, little boy?"
He replied, "I'm just checking on my friends if they needed any help. Nothing too special".
"Really now? Why not go to the Cruise liner? yours friends could very well be there".
Brendan pauses, looking at her and asking in complete stunned, "How do you there's a cruise ship here?"
Luna try to explain it, covering up a secret of hersm "Well...I...simply guess. I thought you may have arrive here by a...space ship".
He wasn't sure about her answer. Something about it seem obviously suspicious. He kept on pressing, until he saw something, covering by the leafs and bushes. He hid and see Ryuko and Mako. But he also notice another man. A man that is trying to mind control Ryuko and Mako.
Mako has fall in his grasp, while Ryuko is still standing up to him. But she is still struggling to resist, with the man name Alluro talking her into it.
"Come on, come on, do not try resisting", Alluro told her, "I'm giving you a choice. Give up or face my wrath".
"Ryuko", Brendan knew she and Mako were in danger. He was thinking of doing something that would save her friend. Just before he could think, he heard a snap of a stick. He turn and sees a huge creature, holding out it's arm and ready to grab him. He dodge, grabbing some dirt, and throw it at the creature eye. Luna fall off from him, and order the creature, "Amok! Quickly! Get him before he escape!"
After the creature name Amok wipe off the dirt, he head straight at him, but he swiftly move outta the way.
Ryuko, trying to figure out what to do, was almost losing her grip on the sword, which pleases Alluro, "Yes, give up now. Let go of your sword. There's no use of it, anyways".
"Not...gonna...let go".
"Come on, let go".
Then, dirt was flew onto his eyes, causing him to lose focus, "Aah! My eyes!"
Ryuko manage to regain her stength and sees Brendan, calling her out, "Ryuko! Run!"
After Alluro regain his sight, and Luna and Amok come out of the shadows, Ryuko quickly drag Brendan into another bush, getting out of there as possible.
"No! They got away!" Luna shouted, now riding on Amok paddle, "No thanks to you, Alluro!"
"Calm down, Luna", Alluro assure her, "We didn't lose anything".
He was refering to Mako, still under his mind control.
Aqua slip through one of the cabins. It was Ryuko, and she was holding the spray paint that Spinel threw at Starscream. She grin to herself, looking around to see what to spray first, "Hmmm, I wonder what should I spray? Aha! Got it!"
She walk toward her bed, and start spraying her layout, fresh and clean towels, "Heheheh, a little payback, sucker".
But she notice it wasn't right, "Wait, there's something wrong here...oh right, a little splash of water would do the trick".
She plashes water onto the towels. Not only that, but it accidentally spill onto her bed sheets too, making her giggle a bit, "Heheheh, oops. My bad, guess my power aren't useless after all".
Statics, cut to Aqua.
"Man, I am really having a fun time around here. With no to screw around me, I can do whatever I want and get payback on those idiots that either betray me or ruin me!"
Statics.
"Uuugggghhhh, how are we going to found anything interesting?" Eddy moan, "I'm getting tired already".
"Come on, Dude", Mikey said, first in leading and Eddy, behind him, following him, looking very tired, "Try to act very...Umm...optimistic".
"I could, if it wasn't the fact all those golds were destroyed!" Eddy mention the events last chapter ago, being very irritated by that event.
"Dude, you still angry about that?"
"Yeah! I could've really use those for anything like jawbreakers!"
"You really need to found something else to like, dude", Mikey suggest, "You can't just choose money or valuable as your main interest. You got to found other interest, man. Like me, I like pizza, gaming, comics, skateboarding, and all those other cool stuff, Dude".
Eddy yawn, getting really disinterested from what he said, "Yeah, that's great and all, but money is all I have. So don't try pastoring me about my interest".
"Fine dude, suite yourself".
Statics, cut to Eddy.
"Hmph, he doesn't know the half of me. My two main interest are money and jawbreaker. That's it".
Statics.
Mikey stop, holding out his hand to signal him to stop as well. Confuse, Eddy asked, really sternly, "Hey? What's the big idea?"
"I think I heard something", Mikey told him, listening to a buzzing noise coming to his direction. It was becoming louder and louder until, "Get down!"
He push him on the ground, and a spinning disk flew by. It flew and turn back to the same direction. A disturbing man snatch it and his red eyes glow, seeing he missed his target.
"What the heck are you doing?!" Eddy demanded, but both of them stare at the huge man looking down on them.
"Heheheh, strange little fellows", He remark, "Ducking while I try to slice you, Heheheh".
They both got up, and Mikey pull out his nunchucks, ready to fight, "Who are you?"
"I am Red Eye", He introduce himself, "A fellow Lunatak, and you are in my grasp! Prepare for some trouble!"
He snarl, arms out, and ready to crush them. Mikey was well prepare, while Eddy back down and hide behind his back. Without expectation, missile rockets were shoot out from Red Eye chest. He and Eddy quickly dodge it, moving away. However, this didn't work as the rocket turn back and head toward the their main target again.
"Woah, this guy must be tough", Mikey jump over them and land back on the ground when they pass him. Again, this was pointless and it comes right back at him.
Statics, cut to Mikey.
"I wasn't going to let him defeat me. After all, I'm all ninja style...even if he has a lot more cool stuff than me".
Statics.
Having no energy to dodge any further, he then collaspe on the ground, causing the missiles to shoot and exploded by impact of him. He was now on the ground, not dead, but not moving. Red Eye begin to laugh, "Hahahahaha, foolish turtle".
Eddy was hiding behind the bushes, shaking in fear, "Oh man, this isn't good. I gotta call out for help".
Before he could, Red Eye grab him by the collar, still shouting, "Help Me!"
"No one is going to help you, little boy! Hahahahahahaha!"
Meanwhile, Ryuko and Brendan were huffing and panting, trying to take a breath in from the running.
"Are you alright?" Brendan asked her.
"Yeah, yeah I'm fine kid", Ryuko replied, turning to him, "You?"
"I'm Okay", Brendan turn to the direction where they run from, "Who was that guy? What was he doing to you and Mako?"
"Some guy name Alluro", Ryuko explain, "He was trying to mind control me. Luckily, I manage to hold myself longer when you arrive. In fact, who were those other guys with you?"
"Luna, and the other Guy, I don't know", Brendan told her, "My best guess they're somewhat related".
"Figures".
"What're we going to do now?"
Ryuko think about it, figuring what to do since now these Lunataks are possibly out here, wrecking some maham. The question is, why? and how many are they?
Then, she realize something that hit her, facepalming what she had done to regret this, "Oh crap".
"What?"
"I left Mako behind", Ryuko stomp her foot down, "Sh*t!"
"What are they going to do to her?"
"No idea, but it's best we should contact the others", Ryuko said, looking onward, "Let's hope everyone is alright. Who knows how many there are".
Statics, cut to Ryuko and Senkestu, who was a bit concern.
"These guys are tough", Senkestu remark, "How are you going to beat them?"
"Easy. As always the same".
"By using your sword".
"By using my sword, Yep".
Statics.
Lindsay was picking some flowers near a cave, sniffing it's strangest smell. Armin, Meanwhile, was waiting for her to be done, wanting to get this challenge over it.
"Wow, it smells beautiful", Lindsay remark, "Weird, but beautiful".
"Are sure they're safe?" Armin asked, "This is like our first day here. I'm not too certan we should do this".
"Don't be too concern. It's just flowers. I sniff flowers all the time. Some are good, and others aren't".
Armin then asked Lindsay, crossing his arms and leaning on the wall, "Lindsay, why are you always cheerful? Like I'm not against you being happy and all, but still".
"Well, because I like being cheerful".
"Seriously?"
"Yeah, I mean", Lindsay explain, "With all the maham and destruction, I thought a little lighten mood could help. After all, I don't want to act too mean spirited...like Hater".
"Hater?"
"No wait, I mean Heather".
Armin was surprise by her respond. Being with her on that cruise ship, he wonder why she seem all happy and golly. He thought she may have some hidden darkside, but no. She was just acting cheerful, during in terrible situation. He somewhat felt remarkable by the fact she still kept on her happy mood. He felt like he wanted that mood. One that is not misery and death, but optimistic. That's why he always hang out with her.
Sniffing in the air, Armin smell something. A stench coming from the cave, "Hey Lindsay, do you smell something?"
"Uhhh, Yeah", Lindsay rellied, "Obviously the flower. Kinda think of it, I wonder if there's more?"
"No, I smell something else", Armin sniff again, looking at the cave, "Something in there".
He enter the cave and Lindsay follow suite, thinking there might be some interesting things in there.
Back on the cruise liner, Aqua slip in through Brendan room. She look around and see his bed, all folded up and clean, "Okay, I got to found that book somewhere, so I could vandalize it. He'll regret leaving me. Or maybe I could sell it off".
She search around in the closet and under the bed, which she finally found it, after lifting it up, "Yes! Found it! Time for some paybac-"
Snap! Her grip let go of the bed, causing it to fall onto her. She was now stuck, unable to get out, "Oh crap! Help! I'm stuck! I can't move out of here!"
Statics, cut to Aqua.
"Maybe going to his room wasn't a great idea on my part. But I was determine to get that book...if I hadn't been stuck!"
Statics.
In the forest, Alastor and Stocking were still searching for anything valuable. Alastor could've make up a interesting object like gold, but that would be too obvious. Plus, he didn't want to cheat much, saving it for later as he was enjoying playing by the rule.
"Ah, I feel some evil in this forest", Alastor remark, "And it's! fine, I guess...not really special or anything".
"Any ideas what're we going to do?" Stocking asked, "Since you almost got vote off".
"Hmm, we'll just wait until the perfect time we strike", Alastor explain, "For now, we just need to keep winning and save Starscream elimination later".
Statics, cut to Stocking.
"I am getting sick and tired of his bullsh*t! right now! Sure, we kiss and make out, even did a few hand*** here and there; but after that incident, me and him are suddenly not doing it anymore. He's not giving me cake, not giving me kisses, not even a lick! Maybe I should focus more on myself, rather than him. I'm still keeping him around, just until the right time I'll get rid of him".
Statics.
Stocking stretch her arm, requesting Alastor for permission, "I need to go somewhere to pee. Would you mind not following me".
"Sure thing, but be back, and don't let-"
"Yeah, I know. Don't let the spider crawl into your socket hole".
"I was going to say 'don't let your pussy out'; But you ruin it, anyways".
She walk to a different direction, trying to have more space to think. While she was walking away, she step on a object, hearing a crack noise. She look down and see what appear to be somekind of golde necklace. Attach to it was somekkind of mini mirror of some sort, looking rahter crystal. She pick it up and observe it, wondering, "What the hell is this? Looks like a necklace".
Then, something appear on the glass. She jump a little and look at it to see a rat in armor, looking very fat and having a mustache. She stutter, asking, "Who the hell are you?"
"Me?! I am the mighty, magnificent Ratar o!" He reveal himself, demanding, "The greatest mutant commander to ever live. I am powerful, strong, intelligent, and skill at everything; And who might you be?"
"I'm...Stocking", She replied, confuse and very curious.
"Stocking? Ha! What a laughable name", Ratar o remark, snarkly, "Even my mother wouldn't name me that".
"Ggrrr, just tell me what you are?!l And why are you stuck in this necklace?"
"Fine, like I said", Ratar o explain, "I am Ratar o, leader of the rats and mutants. Once leader that is, until I was defeated down by Lion o and those tuskas warriors. After my failure, Mumm ra trap me in this unbearable necklace, where I could never found a way out".
"So that's why your in here".
"Indeed, and the only way I can get out is by some miracle that could somehow free me".
"Some miracle, huh", Stocking thought of something. Considering Ratar o is a leader expertise of everything, this could be a opportunity for her. He's possibly smart, so it gives her an idea that if she makes a deal with him, such as tricking others and planning some strategy, it could lead her to the finale. Not to mention, Alastor usefulness to her would be no more, now that she has someone assisting her. Holding it up to her face, she said to him, "Okay, I'll make a deal with you".
Ratar o eyes brow were lifted, wondering what deal is she going to make.
"I'm a demon, which means I could possibly free you".
"Wait, you a demon?" Ratar o asked, "I thought you were some undead maiden".
"I'm gonna ignore what you said", Stocking continue, "So here's my offering. You'll help me get to the finale, and I'll free you in the process".
"Really? Why?"
"Because I am competing in a game that requires some help. And I need someone smart enough to take me to the finale".
"The finale? What kind of game is it?" Ratar o said, "This whole idea of yours sound bonkers and quite uninteresting".
"Look, I'm just trying to offer you a chance to escape", Stocking told him, "But since you don't seem interested of partnering with me, I'll-"
"No wait!" Ratar o stop her, getting her full attention, grinning under her thoughts, "I...might consider it".
"Yes!"
"If you could free me, I would gladly help you. After all, I am an expert of many things".
"Not now", Stocking state, "I'll free you later. Right now, just give me some advice until the finale".
Ratar o was beginning to feel frustrated, including Stocking. But he knew he has to go along with it. This was his only chance to get freedom, so dismissing it isn't a option. He groan, and reply, finally agreeing with her terms, "Alright then, but do not forget the promise, women".
"Say, what're you doing?!"
Stocking jump and saw Alastor staring her at behind. Apparently, he was checking on her if she's alright.
Enrage, Stocking told him, before putting the necklace into her pocket, "Didn't I state you to not follow me?!"
"I did...but I got bored of it", Alastor then asked, "Say, what were you doing?"
"I...was just wrapping up peeing".
"Are you certain?" He sliver near her, touching her shoulders and making Stocking very uncomfortable, sweating herself a bit, "Seem you're taking a bit too long. Are hiding something?"
"Look, can we just move along and focus on the challenge", Stocking told him, "We don't want to discuss this useless matter".
"Hmm, good point", he let go and proceed to resume back searching, whistling to himself, and swinging his cane. She sigh and follow him.
Statics, cut to Stocking.
"Phew, that was a close one. Hope Alastor doesn't found out. I hope this guy knows what he's doing".
statics.
Yuka was still running through the forest, until bumping into Eva strong body, hitting her on the ground.
"Hey! Watch it!" Eva told her.
"Eva! I gotta warn you, a-" Yuka was cut off by Eva, telling him, "Yeah, I know. If Lightning tries to use a dead animal to scare me, I'm all prepare for it".
"No! That's not what I was going to say", Yuka claim, "There's someone back there, freezing Lightning and-"
"Wait, did you say Lightning was frozen?"
"Uhh, Yeah".
Eva rub her hands, mischievously, not really caring for how he was frozen, "Goooood. Thanks for telling me that".
Eva walk away, going to found Lightning and start doing something personal to him, leaving Yuka all alone, "Hey! Wait! A creepy women is still around here!"
Statics. cut to Yuka.
"Ugh, does anyone listen to me?! God, it feels like I'm trap in that same haunted school all over again. At least some of them have some common sense and aren't idiots!"
Statics.
"I am going to have some fun with that Sha-doofus", Eva told herself, "I wonder what should I do? Probably push him, toss him in a lake, need to think about it a bit further".
While walking through the forest, Eva fall down into one of Sanji traps. She fell in a ditch, unable to get out, "Darn it! Who set up this trap?! Hello?! Anyone up there!"
A figure of a head poke out, which made Eva relieved, "Finally! Hey! Get me out of here!"
Instead of a hand, a breath of freeze was blown to her.
"Armin, aren't we going a bit too deep into this cave?" Lindsay asked, walking in a dark and wet cave, "I'm beginning to feel afraid right now".
"No wait, look!" Armin pointed at a mysterious lights, surrounding around several patches of fruits. It was very vegetarian, with glowing lights floating around the cave, and vines hanging from the empt, cold, wet stones.
They were awestruck by it, with Lindsay commented, "Wow! It looks...so beautiful".
"And it smell beautiful", Armin describe, "Like I can't even tell where it's from".
"Maybe we should eat it".
"That's sound pretty dangerous...but let's do it anyways", Both of them approach the fruits growing from the roots, and ate it, causing their eyes to flash.
"Any idea why are they doing this?" Brendan asked, both him and Ryuko are continously walking through the forest.
"Have no idea, nor I don't want to think too much of it", Ryuko replied, "All we have to do is get the others and..."
"And what?"
"I...I don't know".
"What do you mean you don't know?"
"Look kid, I don't know. even as leader, I'm still having some difficulty of thinking strategy", Ryuko told him.
Senkestu was a little bit surprise by it, "Wait, you didn't come up of anything? Like after we get our team together, then what?"
"I'm thinking about it. Don't try to pressure me", Ryuko was beginning to feel stressful, now relating how Wendy feel like being team captain. She groan, and roll her eyes.
Brendan can see in her struggling a bit. Sure, she did became a successful team captain last time, but she still has time to learn. Brendan advice her, "Maybe we should take a break".
"And let the other teams win and our team getting capture by those goons? No chances", She was fully determine, despite still not coming up of a plan yet and hasn't lost her stress yet.
"Ryuko, I can understood that, but I think you need a little break. Maybe-"
"Stop", Ryuko hold out her hand, pausing him and Ryuko to continue further. She heard a rattle, coming from the bushes. Her hands were near her small, scissors sword on her necklace, ready to activate it.
Brendan asked her, "What is it?"
The rattle was becoming more and more bigger. Without warning, Ryuko push Brendan on the ground by a powerful blast that shoot down a tree. A bouncing man appear, looking quite similar to the other strangers. He was short, having no legs, and has a much longer horns. He's also holding somekind of canon ray, aiming it at Brendan and Ryuko, both got up and facing him.
The man laugh, "No one can beat Tug Mug!"
"Great, let me guess", Ryuko sarcastically asked, now gripping her sword at him, "Your one of them, huh?"
"And by them, you mean the Lunataks?!" Tug Mug answer, "Yes".
He shoot them seven time, with Ryuko dodging every attack from left to right. Ryuko quickly grab Brendan by the sleeves and disappear behind the trees.
"Come back here, your lousy kids!" Tug Mug bounces and leap onto them, but landed on a dirt ground, stuck and unable to move because of his pressure.
Statics, cut to Ryuko.
"Jesus christ, how many are there?!"
Statics.
Starscream was seen hanging in the forest with vines and branches strapping him all around. He has a deadpan look, "I hate this...when I get out of this, I'm gonna-"
One of the vines snap, causes him to fall from a really tall height. He was hit on several small and big branches on the head, "Ow!", On the torso, "Owe!", on the side, "D'oh!", and on the groin, "Gggggggeeeeeeeeeeee!"
Then, he finally fell on the ground, all damage up, "This is really not my day right now".
Elsewhere, Sammy and Tokoyami were still making out behind the bushes, uninterrupted by any force.
"Hey, Sammy?", Tokoyami asked.
She replied, "Umm, Yes?"
"I'm getting a bad feeling".
"Oh, is it my period? Oh god, am I'm having a period?!"
"No, no, it's just-"
"Phew, for the second there, I thought I was getting it", Sammy calm herself down, "Anyways, what did you want to say?"
"I was going to say, I'm having a terrible feeling like someone needed my assistant", He replied, "Maybe we should go and continue on with the challenge".
"Oh come on", Sammy shrugged it off, "Can we still have a little fun. It's just a searching challenge".
"Yes, but I'm more concern about our team. I felt like they needed a hero to assist their need".
"They'll be fine They have other heros to help with", She press her hands next to his beak, "Now just relax and resume back to kissing, Okay".
"Hmmm...alright then", they resume back at kissing.
Yuka was walking alone, complaining to herself, "What am I going to do?! No one is going to listen to me all because of that stupid revealing challenge! I wish I was the one to be voted off, not him! Why didn't they just chose me?!"
She lump on the ground, next to the tree, "Awww, who cares if we lose or not! We aren't going to win anything, if my teams keep fighting a lot. God, I miss my onii chan so much".
She then broke down crying, which Ryuko and Brendan saw it, both feeling pity for her. They hiding behind the bushes, noticing her by the cries.
"Huh, that's actually sad", Bredan remark, "I feel bad for her".
Ryuko added, "Yeah, poor kid".
"Guess the lost of her brother, really effected her", Senkestu commented, "She really need some help...by that, I don't mean mentally help, but you know what I mean".
"Maybe we should go help her", Brendan suggest.
Senkestu: "I just freaking suggested that!"
"I don't know", Ryuko replied, being uncertain of it, "Though I do feel bad, I'm not too sure we should intervene".
"Come on, your help me out before", Brendan mention, "Plus, they had help us before, remember?"
Ryuko sigh, remembering how one of their team member manage to help them out in a dimension racing, "Alright, let's go check on her".
They approach her, seeing she is still on the ground and unable to look at their faces.
Brendan was the first to greet her, "Hi Yuka...are you okay?"
She recognize them, but did not look, nor even move, "I'm fine...leave me alone".
Ryuko and Brendan look at each other and look back at her, with Ryuko asking, "Do you need any help? You seem very helpless".
"I don't need any assistant, so please go".
"Man, what're we going to do now?" Brendan asked Ryuko, "We can't just leave her here. Not while those guys are still around here".
"He does has a point", Senkestu agree with him.
"I don't see you doing anything, Senkestu", Ryuko mention at him.
"I'm a clothing. I'm not much of a therapist expert here. I'm just giving out advice and commenting things".
"Just like what a therapist would do", Ryuko resume back on thinking what to do with Yuka. Brendan was right, they can't leave her alone with those weirdos still out there.
Ryuko sat next to Yuka, trying her best to comfort her, "Look Yuka, I'm sadden that your brother is gone, but you can't just give up because he's gone. You got to continue further, without him. That's what he probably wanted".
"How?"
"Well...do you remember when you were alone without your brother?"
She nodded, remarking the day that she and Satoshi were separated in a haunted school.
"Yeah, try overcoming that. Be more strong and uhhh, not repeat that whole mess again. Be more about yourself, stop relying on everyone to help you. If you can do all that, you could see your brother again and win this".
"Could...could I do that?"
"Yes".
Yuka thought this over. She wanted to see her brother again, she wantd to get the money. For her to quite because of his lost would sound foolish. So she look at Ryuko, and got up, "You know what, your right! I'm going to overcome it and win it for my brother!"
"That's the spirit", Ryuko added, getting up as well. Brendan was smiling, noted that Ryuko still manage to help anyoje in dire situation. All was not happy now, when Yuka quickly goes from full confident to horrified, hiding behind Ryuko. Confuse, both of them turn and see Chilla.
But not just Chilla, Red eye and Tug Mug are there as well.
"Well, Well, Well, some new company", Chilla remark, hissing.
Red Eye snarl and laugh, "Two kittens and one cat, this will be easy".
"And it seems like we meet again, you two bigots!" Tug Mug added.
"It's Chilla!" Yuka pointed out, "She's been chasing me and freezing everyone around her".
"That's right, little girl", Chilla said, "And you two are on the next list of menu".
Ryuko grunted, gripping out her sword. Both her and her friends back away from them. She the asked, demanding, "Ggr, where's our friends?!"
"They're safe and sound", Tug Mug pulled out his canon gun, "For now".
"Crap, both of these kids aren't much fighters", Ryuko thought, "I got to get them out of here, fast".
She try looking around, seeing any clear way out of here. Facing three to three may sound equal enouh, but to face a bunch of mysterious and powerful enemies they had never fought. It seems likely none of them are gonna make it out alive.
Alastor and Stocking head into a cave. She was getting a bit nervous about Alastor founding out her necklace. She kept facing him, expecting him to hear her thoughts and turn around to grin at her.
"Say", Alastor begin to talk, shaking Stocking a little bit, "Do you think Chris would love seeing a diamond?"
"Uhhh...Yeah, kinda".
"Good because there might be a diamond somewhere. Caves always has a pack of it".
"And how do you know?" Stocking asked, "I'm not partially sure if there is any".
"I'm just guessing".
Then, they heard laughter coming from their direction. They kept walking and see a glimmer of light at the deepest end of the cave. Wondering what's going on over there, they proceed to go in and saw what amazes them.
Armin and Lindsay were laughing together, sitting all around, and eating what appear to be some kind of fruit; biting and chewing the flavor, ignoring the fact they are now addicted to it. Luckily for the demons, they are immune by it.
"Well, look like we found our team members", Alastor remark, "They look very happy...too happy".
"I am feeling uncomfortable right now", Stocking added.
"You tell me", Ratar o said, "This is the weirdest thing I have ever seen".
Stocking whisper, telling him, "Would you shut up. Are you trying to get me kill?"
Alastor turn to her and she kept her smile, still sweating though. He shrugged and confront the two of them, playing the grassy floor and chuckling.
Armin notice and greeted him, gleefully, "Oh, Hi mister demon, lord of destruction. Are you here to try out these amazing fruits".
He pull out one and show it to him. Alastor refuse to take it, telling him, "No thanks, I already have enough back in hell".
"Come on, it's great", Lindsay took another bite, "I'm like literally flying in the air".
She then begins to wide out her arms and swing, "wwwweeeeeee", until accidentally hitting a wall.
Alastor pick up one of the fruit and sniff it, extracting some weird sense. After thinking what it could be, he came to a conclusion
Statics, cut to Alastor.
"Ah, I get it. Those fruits contain somekind of drug where the user will get addicted. Makes sense. Still, I wonder why it was there? Probably some nefarious plan has set up here. Could be that".
Statics.
Ryuko yelled and charge right at Chilla, gripping on her blade. Chilla quickly dodge that, moving more swiftly to the other side. Tug Mug aim his gravity gun and shot it at Ryuko. Jumping, she manage to let it shot at a tree behind her.
"Is that all you got?" Ryuko asked, unimpressed.
Chilla then freezes Ryuko neck by her breathe, preventing Ryuko from breathing. She collaspe, still gripping onto the sword. She cough four time, but manag to speak a little, "What...the...hell...!"
Brendan and Yuka try to come to her aid, but Tug Mug aim his blaster canon at them, "Oh no you don't!"
This causes Brendan and Yuka to fall down and stuck on the ground.
Ryuko huff and hustle, trying to get this frozen particle out of her neck.
Chilla remark, approaching Ryuko on the ground, "Hahahaha, no one ever survive this. Any minute or sooner, you'll be just a lifeless doll. Unbreathable and unable to live".
"Damn her!", Ryuko utter, grinding her teeth, "I...got to...remove this..."
"what should we do with these brats?" Red Eye asked her, standing on Yuka back.
"Easy, get rid of them", Chilla replied, "We have enough captives already".
Ryuko and her friends gasp, with Ryuko muttering, "No!"
Tug Mug pointed out that made Chilla really irritated, "But didn't Luna want everyone alive and capture?"
"Forget what she say! It's best to kill them off, then let them try stopping us. I am not taking any chances".
"Ha, knew you going to say that, Chilla", Red eye was ready to crush Yuka. Brendan try to get up, but the effect of the gravity gun prevent him from moving anything, "Let's start with the girl".
"Leave her alone!" Brendan shouted.
"Quite it!" Red eye yelled, "Or else you will get a more slow and miserable death".
Everything might seem terrible. Ryuko is almost out of breath, trying to catch some of it, and Brendan and Yuka are almost going to be crush. But, what they didn't know, across them behind the bushes, Tokoyami dark shadow was watching, see their team in trouble. He slip back and return to Tokoyami, trying to inform him of the news, quick.
Tokoyami and Sammy are again, still kissing. Dark shadow came and tap his shoulders, getting his attention, "Hmm, what is it?"
He whisper to him and what he heard shock him. Not only terribly, but regrettable.
Confuse, Sammy asked, "What is it?"
"It's...Ryuko".
Statics, cut to Tokoyami.
"Damn it! Why did I continue on with that, instead of assisting my teams help?! I felt so ashame".
Statics.
Yuka was whimpering, fearing for her live. Red Eye foot is almost to her spines, squishing through the skin of her. She can feel it. She can possibly hear her bones being press and touch, almost crumbling from Red eye foot, "Night, night, little girl, heheheheheheh".
Just when things are becoming worst, dark shadow push Red eye away and on the ground.
Everyone quickly look and see Tokoyami and Sammy arrive in the scene.
Chilla and Tug Mug were surprise, and quickly get back.
"Ryuko! Brendan!", Sammy said, being press behind by Tokoyami, who is taking care of the Lunataks.
Tug Mug, not trying to comprehend this situation, aim his Gravity Carbine at Tokoyami; but dark shadow came and hit it, which shot at Brendan and Yuka, releasing them from being glue on the ground.
Not only that, but dark shadow also remove the frozen stuff from Ryuko, making her breathe again, "Thanks, really appreciate that".
Red eye and charge toward Sammy, but she swiftly kick up from the chin, landing a blow at him. The Lunataks were now outnumber.
"What now, Chilla?!" Tug Mug asked.
"Retreat!" Chilla replied. And with that, Chilla, Tug Mug, and Red eye left.
Stunned, Sammy asked them, "Who were those guys? And what were they doing to you?"
"Those guys, from what I can gather, are Lunataks", Ryuko replied, huffing, "And they are...let just say, aren't friendly".
"I see".
"Hey, where were you guys anyways?" Ryuko asked the both of them. Tokoyami shy away, and Sammy was rubbing her arm out of shame, as well.
Statics, cut to Sammy.
"Alright, maybe I was a little too selfish to not think that my friends are in trouble. Guess I can tell Tokoyami is not too thrill about it".
Statics.
"Its was..." Sammy was going to explain. However, Tokoyami, feeling gulity to himself, explain it to her.
"My fault", Tokoyami took the blame, "I refuse to listen you guys cried; and instead, continue hanging out with Sammy. It was my selfish love that did it, not hers".
"Tokoyami, no", Sammy said, "It's-"
Ryuko didn't care much of it. She told him, "It's Alright, Tokoyami. it's not your fault. Right now, We need to focus more on getting our friends back and deal with those idiots".
Ryuko follow where the Lunataks left, with Yuka and Brendan following along with her. Tokoyami stood there, looking down, and Sammy came to comfort him, wondering and asking, "Why did you blame yourself? I was the one preventing you from helping them".
"Even if you did prevent me, I can't place the blame on someone who has feelings", tokoyami replied, looking at her, "It was my fault for not listening to my own warnings. I felt...disgrace for being a hero".
"Listen Tokoyami, it doesn't matter", Sammy press her hands to hers, "Right now, we got to save our friends from...whatever Ryuko just said".
Chris was still waiting infront of the forest and outside near the cruise liner. He check his watch and look back, yawning to himself, "Ugh, this is boring...maybe I should participate; like be more involve somehow...Nah".
Alastor and Stocking were the first to arrive, dragging Armin and Lindsay, and holding a bunch of fruits on their arms. Chris was relieve, "Finally, someone actually arrive. Where's the others?"
"I don't know, nor I even give a single sh*t", Stocking replied, holding out a fruit, "Here, are you interested yet?"
"Hmmm...Yeah, let me think about it", Chris told her, "No. You guys need to do better than this. And since half of your team and the other team aren't here yet, you guys will have to wait here. No returning, just praying that one of your teammate bring something interesting".
"What?! That's bullcr*p!" Stocking state, outrage that Alastor idea was really stupid. But he didn't care. He seem to shrugged it off. Armin and Lindsay are still glare off and giggling.
Statics, cut to Stocking.
"Ggggrrrrr, guess it figures why I'm deciding to get rid of him".
Statics.
Ryuko was on a cliff, looking down at a huge crate hole. She hide there, along with Brendan, Yuka, Tokoyami, and Sammy. At the crator, the Lunataks are discussing while half of the Screaming Sponge and Shrimp Raider team are held capture by tied up, or are frozen. Yuka pointed that out, "Hey, there's my team".
They listen closely to them, seeing there is more of them than they thought.
Back at the Lunataks, they were talking about their next plan. A plan that Luna herself come up with, when the cruise ship arrive.
"Now what, Luna?" Red eye asked, "What is our next strategy?"
"Our next strategy comes in two option, Red eye", Luna explain, riding on Amok, "One, we could use these buffoons as captivies and ransom them out to the host, where he will have no choice, but give us his ship".
"But what if he refuse?" Alluro asked, sitting on Mako as a chair on all four, "I'm not too certain that the host would even care for his colorful cast".
"Here's our second option", Luna continue, "If he refuse, then you Alluro could mind control them, and make them pretend they are themselves, while we secretly hop on board".
"Sounds like a stupid plan", Tug Mug commented, bouncing up and down.
"And what if that plan doesn't work", Chilla asked, hissing.
"Then we'll just go by force", Luna told her, "Once we control the ship, we can control any dimension by us, alone".
"Sounds like a brilliant idea", Alluro agree, getting up, "But who will be the captain of the ship? You?!"
Amok growl, approaching him. Luna told him, "I will always be the captain. I will always lead this team. Do you got it?!"
"Of coarse, madam", Alluro said, assuring her his true treachery, just like the others, "Whatever you say".
"Now then, let us begin with our phase one", Luna turn to the others and then turn to Alluro: "Alluro! you know what to do".
Alluro menacingly laugh, and commanded Mako to, "You! Get up! and listen to your master! We have a special job for you".
Mako did and got up, looking like the beam is wearing off. Her eyes are almost coming back to normal, and she begin to groan. Tug Mug took notice, "Hey, your slave is almost out of your trans".
"Uhhhhh, where am I?" Mako asked, still regaining her conscious, "Who are you guys?"
"Do not worry", Alluro throw another orb on her, sparking more lights to her, "Here! Here's more of this. It keeps you comfort, it keeps you from being tired".
Ryuko remark, "So that's what they're doing. Crummy bastards".
Ryuko turn to them, explaining her idea, "Okay guys, listen up. I have an idea. I'm going to try distracting them, while Tokoyami dark shadow could try saving our friends".
"What about us?" Brendan asked, refering to him, Yuka, and Sammy.
"You guys will just stay here".
"What? You not letting us do anything?"
"It's for you guys safety", Ryuko stated, "Some of you aren't much fighters, so I need you three to stay put and remain here. I'll call you guys when we beat these jerks".
"Ryuko, I appericate you want me to be some assistant", Tokoyami said, "But I don't feel like I should".
"Come on, you still on that?" Sammy asked, quickly getting annoyed, "It's just a mistake. My mistake. Get over it".
"Sammy right", Ryuko agree, "Gotta stop feeling ashame for yourself. So let's move out and get going".
Tokoyami nodded, deciding to ignore his shame. However, he is still distraught of it, but not showing it. Tokoyami head right to the direction of behind, while Ryuko head left, ready to face the Luantak again.
Statics, cut to Sammy.
"He has to get over it. I like him, but I don't want him to feel personally blame".
Statics.
"When we control the ship, my first order of buisness is to get revenge on the Thundercats", Luna state, "Then after we do that, we'll crush the Mutants and the Berserkers, along with Mumm ra".
They all cheer for her, except for Alluro, who wasn't too happy of it. That is, until, "Hey jacka**!"
Turning toward the direction of the voice, Ryuko jump into the scene, holding out her sword. Luna was surprise, but was pleased to her. The rest, however, were still ready to get rid of her.
"Ah, it's you again", Luna remark, "How pleasantly surprising to see you here, all well".
"Let go of my friends or else!" Ryuko demanded.
"Or else what? You going to cut us into paper flowers? Hahahahaha!" Tug Mug wasn't taking her serious. After all, he did broke a powerful sword once.
"I'm warning you guys! ", Ryuko retort, "I can kick every single a** from everyone!"
"Ha, like the last time", Alluro sarcastically mention, "If you even try, that is".
While Ryuko was trying her best to distract them, Tokoyami jump down and came to the rescue to unfroze Lightning, Eva, and Sanji, and united Mikey and Eddy. Unfortently, this was cut short when Red eye notice him, "Look over there! A filthy bird creature!"
Luna turn and Amok charge at him, "No! Stop him! He'll ruin our plan!"
"Crap", Ryuko thought. Ditching her original plan, she charge at Chilla, but she froze her, stuck in a charge attack position.
Brendan, Sammy, and Yuka saw the plan has fail. Now what? Well, Brendan and Yuka decided to help, by grabbing a near by pebbles and dirt, and start throwing at Amok eyes, causing him to stop and scrub it off. This also made Luna fall off, unable to get up, "Aaaahh! Amok! Help me! Help me!"
"Yes!" Brendan fisted up. This gave Tokoyami the chance to use his Dark shadow and free everyone, swooping around and slicing through ropes and ice.
The Lunataks stop, now surrounding by angry contestants. Mikey pulled out his nunchucks, Tokoyami dark shadow is out, Lightning and Eva are ready to throw some fist, and Ryuko was at behind, holding her sword out and smirking. Even Mako is free, shouting to herself, "Yes! I'm free!"
"No! Quickly Lunataks! Attack!" Luna shouted.
Red eye chest plate pop out and rocket missiles were blown out and flying toward everyone near Tokoyami. They quickly move away, causing a huge explosion. Dark shadow then punches Red eye chest armor, causing him to fall and collaspe.
Chilla try using her freeze breathe at Mako, but Mikey jump in and knock her out with his nunchucks.
Alluro was ready to mind control with his club, but was slice off by Ryuko blade, causing him to break down, "No! My power! it's all gone!"
"That's not the only thing that is going to be gone", Ryuko told him, which made Alluro ran and trip, and then ran back to Luna.
Luna, Amok, Alluro, and Tug Mug began to back away behind a corner, having now been defeated and surrounded.
"Great, now what?!" Alluro asked, being corner.
"We're surrounded", Tug Mug added.
Brendan, Sammy, and Yuka came, now completing everyone here. With no choice and no little to think, and since most of them are down.
"So want to give up, now?" Ryuko hold out her blade, pointing it at them.
The Lunataks have no choice, but to surrender just by the Tokoyami power can do anything. They raise their hands as they give up, which seem to relieve everyone, now that they're defeated.
Later, Starscream is still on the floor, nonfunctional. He's alive, struggling to move and get up, "Dang it! This day could- No, not gonna say! If I say it, something will surely ruin me for sure. I got it, I'll say, 'Could this day get any better?"
Then, a Snarf appear next to him, walking on all four.
Starscream, sigh in relieve, "Finally, something that isn't surely terrible".
The Snarf then begin to move toward his face and lifted his right leg. Confuse, starscream asked, "Umm, what're you doing?"
Then, the realization hit him, "No, you can't! Aaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!"
Statics, cut to Starscream, shaking to himself.
"...that was...humiliating...oh god...If I see a cat, I'll squash it, no matter what!"
Statics.
Chris was still waiting, and the others were a bit tired and bored. Armin and Lindsay are looking like the drug is wearing out. Then, they arrive. Tokoyami was dragging the Lunataks that were all tied up by Dark shadow.
"Finally, you guys all arive!" Chris said, "Hey, where's Starscream? And who are these guys? They look...interesting".
"Long story short, these guys were trying to beat us and use our team as bait to get into your ship", Ryuko explain.
"This is all your fault for ruining my plan!" Luna blame everyone, beside herself.
"Us?! You didn't even do anything!" Tug Mug retort.
All of them began to bicker and aruge, while Chris and others look on. Then Chris asked, "Uhhh, where's your thing?"
"Sha-What thing?" Lightning asked.
"You know, the one I request everyone to found something interesting", Chris state, "Did you all forget?"
Statics, cut to Ryuko.
"Sh*t!"
statics.
Everyone awkwardly rub there arm and glare off, admiting they had forgot about it.
Ryuko try to make it up, by saying, "Uhhh...no, we actually did bring something. These guys".
She pointed at the Lunataks.
"Okay, then which team capture them?"
"...ah f**k"
Chris was displeased, facepalming to himself, "Well, it seems like everyone forgot, huh".
"Hey, we were almost kill by those guys!" Ryuko told him, "Give us a break!"
Chris approach the Lunataks, and what he did made everyoe gasp. Chris pull out his pocket knife and free the Lunataks.
"what the hell?!" Ryuko shouted.
"You got to be kidding me?!" Sammy then asked, "Are you insane?!"
"Chris, they literally almost kill a child!" Tokoyami mention.
"Yeah, so?" Chris replied, turning his attention to the Lunataks, "Alright, so let me guess. You guys were responsible for attacking my cast, right?"
They all nodded, making Chris smile, "Good because I am offically making every one of you as my new interns!"
"What?!" Everyone shouted, except Alastor.
"Chris, they almost kill us!" Ryuko reminded him.
"I know, and I like it", Chris said, "And because it seems like there's no clear winner; that means everyone is going to be at the elimination ceremony. Meaning a double elimination".
Everyone gasp.
Statics, cut to Ryuko and Senkestu.
"Well, what do you expect?" Senkestu told her, "He's the type a guy to hire a group of killers as part of the crew".
"can't aruge with that".
Statics.
Chris turn his attention to the Lunataks. They were surprise, but intrigue, "Now for you guys; As the host of this wonderful show, I am allowing you guys to be part of my crew, and I'll pay you whatever you want. What do you say?"
They both talk among each other, until Luna finally answer, "You could repay us for anything, right?"
"Yep, anything".
"Hmmm...very well then. Me and the Lunataks will happily take your offer; In exchange, we want half of the deal you are making".
"Fine by me. As long you guys torture the contestants, it's all yours".
The Lunataks then began to laugh, menacingly which freak out the enitre contestants, now having to share the same room as them.
Statics, cut to Eva, being very sarcastic.
"Great, things are just getting better and better".
Statics.
After Starscream was retrieve and put back in the cage, the ship set sail again on the sea.
Brendan was going back to his cabin. When entering, he see Aqua stuck between the cushions. She scream, "Help! I can't breath!"
He came and lift it up, releasing Aqua. She huff and breath in and out, "Thank you! thank you! You know how long I have been stuck in there?! All cobble and roache up".
"What are you doing in my cabin?" Brendan asked, demanding a answer.
"Oh, I was...uhhh...just".
"You know what, just forget it", Brendan shrugged it off, "Just leave me cabin".
After Aqua left, and the door slam infront of her, she felt a sense of pity, "Man, for some reason. I feel kinda bad...for not getting that book while he's distracted".
Statics, cut to Brendan.
"It doesn't matter if Aqua try to steal something from it. I need to focus more on me winning. Me and Aqua are no more. And that's the only time I'm going to help her".
Statics.
At the elimination ceremony, everyone were seated separately apart. The Screaming Sponge sit on the left, and the Shrimp Raider sit on the right.
Eva, sniffing some kind of odor, asked Starscream, "Eew, did you face got-"
"Don't...mention...that".
Chris was on stage, ready to call out the votes, "Seems to me today isn't a great day. It seems like a wasteful day; but hey, at least I have some new interns. Anywho, I was going to save this for the merge; but because all of you lost, today will be a double one. First, Tokoyami has an announcement. Tokoyami?"
He stood up, "Yes, I am offically quitting the game".
His team gasp, even Mikey was choking on pizza when hearing that.
"What?! Why?!" Sammy asked, standing up to him.
"Sammy, I love you deeply in my heart", Tokoyami confess, "But I fail to prevent some of my team to be capture. I can't go on with that. Now I got to face the consequences, by stepping down".
"Eh, Whatever", Chris comment, "It does make things more interesting though".
"You can't do this!" Sammy continue, "Without you, who would I hang out with? Your the only person that care for me".
"You have yourself, Sammy", Tokoyami replied, "Focus on that. I still care for you too, but you got to act more independently. Just like you acted more independant without your sister, Remember?"
"Yeah, But...I'm not too sure about that", Then Sammy was pull near to Tokoyami dark shadow.
"Then I'll make sure of it", They then make one more kiss to each other, before Tokoyami departed.
"Alright, while you guys are making love...ewww...", Chris resume, "I'm gonna start calling out who will be voted off. So the person to go home is..."
Everyone waited, tensely and anxiously. Both grip their hands, clenching their teeth, and widen their eyes. Mikey was still choking, slamming his fist on the table, and Sammy and Tokoyami are still kissing.
After a long pause of silent, anticipating their name to be called out. Chris finally said it, "Lindsay!"
"Yeah!"
"What?!" Armin shouted, but Lindsay mistook that as getting a cocktail.
"Wait, am I suppose to get a cocktail?" Lindsay asked.
"Nope, you're going home", Chris repeat, pulling out the votes, "It said it right here on the paper. Seems like your team voted you off for picking the fruit, instead. I wonder why?"
"But...But...she didn't!" Armin said, "This is outrageous! Someone must have frame her".
Alastor whistle to himself, meaning he was pretty much responsible for her elimination.
Statics, cut to Armin.
"I can't believe this. My only friend on this ship...gone...Oh god, I'm feeling...sick right now".
Statics.
On the dock, Tokoyami and Lindsay were place on the boat. Everyone was there, saying there goodbyes.
"Bye Tokoyami! Take care!" Sammy was tearing up, and Armin was crying to himself, while waving. Even Yuka was crying as well, since she can related to losing a friend and brother.
Chris was holding on the lever, asking, "Any last words?"
"Remember me, Sammy! And always stay strong!" Tokoyami said.
"Yeah...what bird guy say, Arnold!" Lindsay added.
"It's Armin!"
"Right, Awkward!"
Armin sigh, "Just forget it".
Then they were drop down into the sinkhole, never to be seen again.
"Alright, that wraps up today double elimination. Who will be the next to be voted off? Found out next time on Total Drama Cruise!" Chris turn his full attention to the Luantaks, who were cleaning and washing away the graffiti with sponges, soaps, and buckets, "Is everything spot less?"
"No".
"Ugh, then make sure of it", Chris said, "Oh, and make sure to clean the floor too".
Chris was refering to Armin and Sammy, crying on the floor and crouching down, "They're literally making it more slippery".
"When are we going to take over the ship?" Alluro asked, whispering to her.
"Until the right time, Alluro", She replied, "Until the right time".
