Topher yawned as he walked around the challenge room "Man… this is way too early. Nelly, what the hell did you want?"

The nurse stood up from the ground "There was a crack in the ground, I was going to get Insignificant to deal with this, but when I looked through the hole… I noticed that there was something under here"

Topher rolled his eyes "Just let me do my intro first. I want to at least kill two birds with one stone since I have to be up"

He turned toward the camera, after making sure the bags under his eyes were covered in makeup "Last time on Total Drama we took a page out of the game Celeste to climb up a large dangerous mountain, with them having to play nice with a large dangerous apparition"

The scene shifted to show Thomas mocking the ghost with a wide, smug grin. It then shows the ghost attacking them "But in the end, the Ferrets were filled with dead weight so they really couldn't do all that much. So in the end they decided to eliminate the more dangerous dead weight in Thomas. Yada yada yada find out what happens now"

Topher turned back to his cohost "Ok, what now?"

Nelly just rolled her eyes while pointing down at the crack in the floor. Topher got down on his knees before peeking into the hole. While looking down he could see a carpeted floor with lights illuminating the area.

"Huh, you're right" Topher murmured while looking down "That's definitely weird"

As he was talking to her an eye formed in the hole as more cracks began to form on the ground. "U-Uh oh" Topher pulled back up.

"We need to go-" he turned to tell Nelly but found she was already sprinting toward the door. "At least wait for me!" he yelled before trying to chase after her.

However, neither of them managed to escape the room as yellow and brown arms sprouted from the ground before pulling them down while destroying the ground itself.

Intro Starts

"Dear Mom and Dad, I'm Doin' Fine," Topher and Nelly stood at the front of the island, with the nurse rapidly measuring Topher's limbs and where his organs should be.

"You guys are on my mind." The camera zoomed past the two hosts to an abandoned-looking city. In the middle of the plaza was a giant pool that the camera dove into. At the bottom, Dylan was trying to pull a chest up to the surface.

"You asked me what I wanted to be And now I think the answer is plain to see," Dylan felt someone tapping her on the shoulder. She turned around, only for Ian to come out of nowhere and swim away with the chest. Bubbles floated up to the surface, where Bobby floated on a raft. Bobby looked nervous about the water.

"I wanna be famous!" On land, Colmillo was holding Mitch in a chokehold as the writer desperately tried tapping out.

"I wanna live close to the sun," in one of the abandoned buildings Camila was waving her hands around mystically over a crystal ball as Marty just stared past it and at her chest. Veronica meanwhile just crossed her arms skeptically.

"Go pack your bags, 'cause I've already won," inside the crystal ball Camila saw Ellis just having a casual friendly conversation with Thomas whose fingers were crossed behind his back.

"Everything to prove, nothing in my way" past the duo, Michael and Mimos were sitting on the ground in the middle of nowhere just enjoying some peace until Vinnie fell down on top of him with a beehive in her hands.

"I'll get there one day" past them Matt was using his walking stick to walk around when Vinnie ran past him with the bee nest in her hands while dragging Micheal behind her. Matt fell to the ground as the bees quickly swarmed him.

"Cause I wanna be famous!" back in the abandoned city Mitzy and Tess were lying on the ground, smiling to themselves as they drew a comic. Liz looked down at her work and gave her a thumbs-up before feeling Bailey hug her from behind. Making blood come from her nose. However, Maxine came in and stomped on her paper

"Na na na na na na na na" in one of the buildings Therion and Charlotte playing a game in a room before Charlotte laughed confidently once beating the gamer.

"I wanna be, I wanna be, I wanna be famous" Walter was looking around the dock to the island, as he walked he could see some footsteps on the ground as he slowly followed them. As he got closer to the camera he flashed a flashlight at the camera.

"I wanna be, I wanna be, I wanna be famous" The light from the flashlight turned to the moon as it slowly moved down to the cast. Jaz and Antoinette sitting together by the fire. Jaz saw the camera on them and quickly pushed Antoinette out of the way, trying to get the camera to focus on her before the other girl pushed her right back. The other contestants slowly whistled.

Intro Ends

The contestants were all winding down, seeing as neither Nelly nor Topher was around to harass them. The teams had chosen to go to the beach for this nice break.

Sitting on the beach itself Jazmine was smiling softly as she laid back to get herself a nice suntan. For her beach attire, she was wearing a yellow bikini top with cut-up jeans as her bottom.

She sighed in relief, just enjoying the warm sun. However, her peace was quickly interrupted by Goomine crawling closer with a wide smile on her face "Hey, I think our singing has been getting better from practicing recently, do you wanna try performing for everyone?"

Jazmine opened her eyes to glare at her "I think we should just enjoy our time to relax Goomine. It would be rude of us to interrupt wouldn't it?"

She frowned slightly but nodded "I-I guess that it's fine to just relax. I don't really like the beach anyways" she smiled before lying down right next to her.

"What do you not like about the beach? I thought you were basically my copy?" She rolled over to give her a skeptical look.

"W-well… my genetics is a little unstable. If I touch too much water I'll sorta… dissolve" she chuckled nervously.

"Is that right?" Jaz slowly nodded her head.

"But that's enough about me, got any plans today?" She smiled.

"Nah, not really" the cosplayer stood up while rubbing off the sand.

"Where are you going?" Goomine started getting up after her.

"Oh no, don't worry about getting up" Jazmine smiled before lightly pushing her back down onto the ground "I'm just gonna go talk with someone"

"Oh… ok"

Jazmine just continued to smile at her before walking away. Once she was a good way away from her she started furiously looking around. The person she was after however was nowhere near the beach.

"Of course, this guy has to be nowhere when I need him" she rolled her eyes.

She continued to look around, before suddenly hearing some rustling in the bush behind herself. She turned her head slightly before quickly turning around to open the bush. Hiding behind her was Mitch who immediately backed away.

"What are you doing watching me from a bush creepazoid?" She scowled.

Mitch waived his hands "I wasn't doing anything. I just saw you looking around for a victim to have Goomine replace over you so I had to be safe so you wouldn't pick me"

"I'm not trying to find someone for her to replace" she scowled before crouching over him "I just found out her weakness and I need your help to stop it"

"Help you?" Mitch frowned "What do I gain from that?"

"Well, you're helping a beautiful young woman feel safe at night." she smiled smugly "I'm sure that's more than enough for you"

Mitch stared blankly at her. "What?" Jaz scowled "Do you not believe me?"

"No, I mean you look fine and all, but if anything you being attractive just makes it more reason to avoid your situation!" Mitch started trying to sneak away from her.

"Hey!" Jazmine grabbed him by his leg "What do you even mean by that?"

"Because if I stay partnered with you I'll die to that thing so you can be final girl!" Mitch kicked her away before trying to escape again.

Jazmine jumped onto his back, trying to keep him from running away as the rest of the contestants silently watched them wrestle from the beach.

"Freaks" Ian murmured.

Confessional: Ian

"I know most of these guys came to the beach just because they want to relax and all that. But I'm simply five steps ahead of them" he smirked before raising a metal detector above his head "Making money even on our day off, that's how a real competitor goes"

XXX

Ian continued to walk around with a metal detector. He had to walk a good way from everyone else because Camila's jewelry set the machine off every few seconds.

He walked around for a good few moments before the radar suddenly went off. He smirked "Finally! I was starting to think there was nothing valuable around here!"

He crouched down to the ground and started wiping away the sand. However, when he moved the sand he didn't find any money or anything. It was just Ellis under a plank of wood with earpods in his ear.

"What are you doing here?" Ian frowned.

Ellis looked up at him before smiling nervously "Oh, I was just waiting for an angel to come and rescue me." he started smirking flirtatiously "Thank goodness one has finally come~"

Ian silently glared down at him before slamming the plank down on his head. He started walking away from him without a second thought.

Closer to the water, Mimos was standing at the edge of the water. As he enjoyed the water he could see Marty and Maxine both running around in the water as Mitzy slowly followed behind the two of them.

The mimicker was wearing simple brown swim trunks as he raised his hands to his lips before whistling loudly "You three need to slow down! I don't want you all tripping and slamming your head on a rock!"

Marty and Maxine slowed down when he said that "Does he think evil will just listen to his rules!?"

Maxine was wearing a simple purple bikini that had white stripes on it, Marty was wearing lime and cyan swim trunks, and Mitzy was wearing a pink and white one-piece swim dress.

"Yea, it's just a beach, I don't think we need to be babysat" Marty scratched his cheek.

"Well, it is important to have rules" Mitzy finally caught up to the two of them "If we didn't have rules we would be just as bad as the animals we eat"

"Please" Maxine rolled her eyes "I don't need your rules. Evil follows its own rules!"

"It might be best to listen to Mitzy on this one" Marty shrugged slightly, before looking at Mitzy "I also gotta say you look fantastic in that outfit Mitzy. Crazy how you just look good in anything you wear"

Mitzy blushed faintly "Don't push your luck, Marty. I'm just here to make sure you don't do something by yourself with Maxine"

"Do something with Maxine? I can't believe you have such a low opinion of me. I'd never let Maxine get hurt"

In the background both of them could hear Mimos whistling, however, Marty just chose to ignore him.

"Is that right?" She crossed her arms "Because Maxine is swimming is having some trouble" she pointed further into the water.

Marty turned back around to see Maxine floundering in the water. Just desperately trying to stay above water.

"Oh no!" Marty started panicking before running after her "Don't worry Maxine! I'm coming!"

The photographer ran to the small villainess, scooping her up out of the water, and running back to the sand. Everyone else started surrounding him as he softly placed her on the ground.

"Does anyone know CPR?" Marty worried.

Most of the contestants that had come up to him mostly shrugged in response. He sighed slightly "I guess I'll have to do it" Marty murmured before leaning down, getting ready to do mouth to mouth.

Maxine's lips formed a small grin. However, the hero Bobby stepped forward before the contact could reach "I think I know that" he smiled.

"Oh, you do?" Marty smiled "Please, hurry and help her"

Bobby got down on his knees, and was about to help before Maxine shot up and cleared her throat "Ugh, oh, I'm still alive how wonderful!"

"Maxy? You're ok?" Marty smiled before pulling her into a hug.

"Of course I'm fine!" she blushed a little "no element can overpower pure evil!"

"So you were pretending to be knocked out?" Marty pulled back, but he was still smiling.

Before Maxine could try to make an excuse, a loudspeaker could be heard all around the coast the contestants were standing at

"C-Contestants, I need you all to h-hurry here as quickly as reasonably possible. Thank you" and with that, it was back off.

"Wonder what that was about" Dylan murmured as she sat up.

"I… think that was Lana talking" Walter stood up "I wonder what she could want"

"Lana?" Dylan stood up after him before slowly forming a smirk "Did you make a gal pal while we weren't looking?" She teased.

Walter blushed before glancing away from her "I'm not interested in something romantic. S-So let's just hurry over"

"Whatever… you say… casanova" Bobby smiled and patted him on the back, leaving behind some slime as the teams started making their way to the city again.

Near the edge of the city, Lana was practically shaking out of fear.

"What's wrong with you chica?" Mimos was the first to walk forward before softly taking her hand.

Lana backed away with a deep blush "Y-You might not have n-noticed but… T-The hosts a-a-are missing!"

No one besides Walter really seemed to care about this announcement "Were you… worried because the hosts were missing?" Veronica snickered mockingly "I thought we had an actual emergency"

"T-this is an emergency!" Lana pleaded with the group "W-what if they went somewhere and are i-in immense pain! I c-c-can't help them if they're gone!"

Walter glanced at the group before clearing his throat "Man, we won't be able to get our million if both hosts are missing…"

That idea slowly clicked in their heads as Ian and Camila lunged forward to grab her shoulders and start shaking her furiously "WHERE WERE THEY LAST SEEN!?"

Lana started turning pale at their roughhousing "N-N-Nelly b-brought them to the v-v-v-vr room to c-c-check out something!"

Ian and Camila dropped the intern down on the ground before sprinting to the VR room. Everyone else started quickly following after them to not give them an early lead. However, before catching up with the others Walter helped Lana up.

"Don't worry, we'll be back with the hosts in no time" he smiled before sprinting away.

"T-t-thanks" she smiled, being put at ease by everyone running to the scene.

All of the contestants ran to the VR room, finding the giant hole in the ground leading to a ball pit in the ground.

"Well… that's weird" Therion murmured "Think this is game-themed or do you think it's just here?" he turned to ask his teammates, Colmillo and Maxine just jumped ahead without a second thought.

"Woah wait up!" Marty called before grabbing Mitzy's arm to jump after her. Before long everyone but Mitch had jumped down into the ball pit.

He tapped his chin "On one hand, not going down will put me in the hot seat…. But on the other…. I don't have to jump down there" he smiled a little, getting ready to turn around. He couldn't see what was doing it but something pushed him back and into the pit.

Down in the pit, no one had come up yet as he landed. He raised himself above the balls to swiftly look around for anyone else. However, still, no one stood up. All around him in the child playset he could hear mischievous laughter.

"Ok… today's the day I die alone…" Mitch whimpered like a scared child "I knew it would come sooner or later"

While Mitch was stuck by himself, many of the other contestants were popping up in different locations across this strange new location.

The first group to appear from nowhere was Liz, Camila, Bobby, and Michael. All four randomly appeared in a photo booth. Camila was sitting in Liz's lap while Bobby was sitting on Michael's shoulders, making him look like he was about to throw up.

"Oh, this is a nice predicament" Liz grinned.

Camila rolled her eyes before looking around "How did we get here?"

"Beats me" Bobby smiled.

"At least we know why the smell is in here" Camila murmured while plugging her nose.

"S-so if we're done making jokes what should we do now?" Michael murmured while tossing Bobby down on the ground.

"Hm" Camila rubbed her chin, "I think now is worth a good premonition. Just to make sure we know what to expect"

"Premonition?" Michael stared blankly at her "You know that stuff doesn't exist right? It's like gloating about professionally having six toes on each foot"

Camila scowled at the Origami King. Bobby however smiled as he sat up from the ground to look at the clairvoyant "What's my prediction?"

"Ah, now that's more like it" Camila smiled before patting Liz on the head "Please hand me my crystal ball"

"Yes ma'am!" Elizabeth smiled before pulling it out from… somewhere and handed it to her.

"Now, let us begin…" Camila cracked her knuckles "Do you have any money, Bobby?"

The slob smiled and nodded. However, he didn't move to grab said money. "So shall you hand it to me so I can be rightly paid for my prediction?"

"Oh, right" Bobby started slowly reaching into his pocket, ringing around slowly in said pocket before pulling out a handful of pennies "How much is it?"

"Five dollars" Camila deadpanned.

Bobby smiled before slowly pulling the pennies from his pocket. They were all dripping wet with god knows what. "Liz, as my assistant you will be allowed to handle the money for today!"

"Great…" she murmured sadly as Bobby started handing her money one at a time.

Michael was already getting tired of being in a group with the Adam's Family, so he got up and walked away. Not looking back.

Confessional: Micahel

"Bobby is an alright guy" Michael murmured before shrugging "But being in a room with someone oozing lust and a scam artist is more than what I want to deal with for a challenge"

Confessional: Camila

"That Michael guy always gave off those creepy vibes, but now knowing he doesn't believe in the arts shows that he is someone I cannot trust. Though considering his team I don't see most of them lasting much longer"

XXX

In another part of the large building Maxine, Marty, Colmillo, Dylan, and Mimos. The group of mostly Plumbers sat in the middle of a pizzeria with party hats on their heads.

"What the-" Mimos frowned while pulling at the party hat.

"Here I was hoping my minion and I would be partnered by ourselves" the villainess frowned while resting her head on the table.

Marty looked around at the pizzeria, before smiling at a fresh plate of pizza sitting in front of him. "Oh sweet!" Marty smiled while grabbing a slice of pizza and starting to eat it.

"I bet I can eat more than you!" Colmillo smirked confidently before shoving half the pizza down her gullet.

"I think I'll just give you the win on this one" Marty chuckled a little before feeling someone tap his shoulder. He turned around to see Maxine smiling up at him with the end of the pizza in her mouth.

"Wanna share a pizza" she murmured through her stuffed cheeks.

Marty blushed a little but smiled "Yea, sure. As long as you're offering" he smirked a little before starting to eat the other end.

They were about to reach the ends of the pizza before Colmillo suddenly appeared between them and chewed through the remaining pieces, causing both of them to kiss her on the cheek.

"I win once again!"

Maxine backed away with a deep blush, but Marty seemed pretty satisfied.

"So, are none of your teammates prone to taking challenges seriously, or is it just you three?" Mimos deadpanned.

"What do you mean?" Maxine looked at him "I'm constantly serious!"

"I mean we just dropped into the middle of nowhere and you're not worried." before Maxine could argue with him further, they could hear some music begin to play.

The four contestants looked up to the music, seeing a large stage with the curtains drawn. The curtains slowly moved to the side to display Topher and Nelly dressed in traditional German attire as they played on instruments as it played what sounded like a weaker 'It's a Small World'.

"Oh, that's too good!" Dylan laughed while clapping.

The four contestants couldn't help but laugh up at the two of them, but this was cut off by the sound of loud footsteps going on around them. They quickly looked around, trying to find the source of them. However, they had trouble seeing anything looking behind them.

Dylan slowly sat down and turned around to see a large mangled mess of machinery staring back at him. It had a fox's head with weird makeup on it. "Uh, guys!"

The other three turned back around to see the mangled machine. "Ah, kill t!" Colmillo jumped up to try slamming it hard on the head.

The robot howled in pain before jumping on top of Colmillo while furiously trying to bite her face off. Before anyone else could try helping her a large fox animatronic reached around to grab Mimos and hold him up high.

"Drop both of them or you will face my wrath fools!" Maxine jumped on the table and tried to threaten them.

Her spiel was swiftly cut off by a brown bear robot grabbing her and picking her up by her hoodie "Sorry young one"

"Hey let go of her!" Marty jumped toward the robot, smacking it on the top of the head with his camera, however, it didn't seem very bothered by it.

"Can someone handle them?" It pointed to Dylan and Marty.

"Marty, we might want to start running" Dylan tried to reason.

"I'm not just going to leave Maxy for them to eat! That's like letting my sister die!" Marty continued to slam his camera down hard on the robot but was held on tightly by a croc robot, which quickly grabbed Dylan right after.

Maxine was originally smiling at Marty trying to save her, however, it almost immediately dropped when she remembered what the second part was.

Confessional: Maxine

"His sister!?" Maxine was in full villain mode as she raised her hands in the air "Evil is not looked down upon as some simple sibling! I'm the father, mother, and the weird uncle! I'm the one who looks down on others who could not possibly match my genius!" She tried tossing a tissue box to prove her evil but it just bounced back to hit her in the face.

XXX

Mitzy dropped down in another part of this expansive facility. She groaned while rubbing her posterior while getting up slowly. "Where… am I?" She frowned.

Around her was a large maze of mirrors that was easily distorting her idea of which way leads where "Oh this is confusing" she murmured.

She started walking in one direction, assuming that would work. However, as she walked closer she slammed her head into one of the mirrors "Ok, this is going to be annoying" she cracked her knuckles.

"But there's one thing that the creator of this place didn't realize" she smirked while turning away from the mirror she walked into "There's a Flash comic that did this exact gimmick"

She quickly turned back around to punch the mirror, however, it didn't break and only really accomplished hurting her arm.

Mitzy bit her lower lip before dropping slowly to the ground "Oh… I shouldn't have done that…" she groaned painfully.

"Hey, did I hear someone around here?" Mitzy raised her head to look back at the voice. She smiled, hoping to find an alley. But sadly, for her, it was just Ian.

"Did you… punch that mirror?" Ian snickered "I don't know how your team has only voted one person out so far"

Mitzy scowled at him "I don't have to tell you what I did there"

"Riiiiiiight" Ian rolled his eyes "Do you know where the way out of this place is? I kinda just dropped somewhere and I've been wandering"

"If I knew I wouldn't be standing here" Mitzy murmured.

"Ooo, feisty" Ian mocked "If you don't know I'm just gonna leave you here then" he waived before starting to walk away.

"Wait!" Mitzy ran after him "My entire being feels sick just suggesting this but we should consider working together"

"Working together?" Ian raised an eyebrow "You're not on my team, and they already have more than enough reasons to try voting for me if we lose"

"I promise I won't tell a soul, and once we get out of here we will go back to never speaking. Think of it like the comics when Batman would team up with the Joker or Superman with Lex Luthor against a bigger foe"

Ian shrugged "Yeah, I guess sure. Not like I have any better idea. Where should we try going?"

Mitzy looked around "Hm… I'm not actually sure if I'm honest…"

As they considered where to take things next, Veronica silently slinked up behind them "You know, I feel like you're both missing the opportunity this interaction is giving us"

Both contestants jumped hearing her voice before quickly turning around "If we're talking alliance forget it" Mitzy crossed her arms "You're almost as bad as he is"

"Yea, I'm good too" Ian shrugged "having an ally on another team isn't that helpful or anything"

"Ah, bummer" Veronica sighed as she walked closer to them "Well, can we at least all walk around together? This place is kinda spooky"

"Fine" Mitzy murmured.

"Thanks" Veronica smiled "Let's try going ahead, I was getting more bars on my phone as we went that way so we might at least get out"

"Worth a shot" Ian shrugged before walking forward.

As Ian walked, Veronica suddenly moved her leg in front of Ian's path. The thief suddenly tripped forward, but he was lucky enough to have Mitzy catch him in the air.

Veronica smirked as she snapped a photo of Mitzy holding him "I was fine to ask for a partnership but you see… my position on my team is a little precarious. So I think now's a good time to reconsider my offer" she slowly started smirking smugly at the two.


Walking slowly through the halls was someone one would've assumed died already. Yes, Mitch was still somehow kicking as he looked over his shoulder every other second to make sure nothing was still following.

Confessional: Mitch

"Back at the ball pit, there were these two evil sun and moon dolls. The whole escape was really unfair but I thankfully got out in one piece" he smiled, though it was obviously forced. He got up to walk away, however, this showed that part of his hair had been plucked from behind.

XXX

Mitch continued to walk around, now entering a section that looked more like a mall than a child's amusement park. He slowly walked past a food court, where many digital screens lay around listing the food they served or the prices.

However, every time the horror freak walked past one of these a shadowy figure with long blond hair appeared while staring at him with bright red eyes. Mitch however didn't seem to notice.

While walking past the front desk of a Wickdonalds he could hear something crawling around slowly. Rather than taking the chance he dove over the desk and curled into a ball.

Across from him sat another large screen, however, this one was cracked. Mitch's eyes widened like saucers as he tried to not scream. Both figures sat in the same position while staring at each other, having the most intimidating staring contest the horror freak had ever experienced.

While the figure had made him forget all about the thing crawling around. However, he could hear it getting closer in a matter of moments.

I'M GOING TO DIE! THAT PSYCHIC WAS A TOTAL HACK! Mitch internally screamed as he heard something place its hands on the desk and slowly lean over.

Mitch shakily looked up, seeing a gray wold with green emo hair smirking down at him "Hey there~" she was dressed like what would be a stereotypical punk rocker.

Mitch looked like he was about to piss himself. Though a part of him deep in the recesses of his mind was a little into seeing what she was planning.

The figure on the screen looked up at the hot wolf before its red eyes turned to a glare and it disappeared.

The robot staring down at him suddenly closed its eyes. Mitch wasn't one to look a gift horse in the mouth so he quickly started crawling away to try getting away if he could.

Mitch ran for a good few moments, before running into the back of someone else. He dropped on his back before looking up, while they looked human that didn't exactly calm his nerves.

The person he bumped into was revealed to be Walter "Oh, hey Mitch!" He smiled "wasn't expecting to bump into you here"

"D-d-did you see that hot wolf in the food court!?" Mitch shot up and grabbed his shoulders.

"H-hot wolf?" Walter blushed a little "n-no?"

"Well, I just did so you better start running!" Mitch let go of him before sprinting as fast as his skinny legs could go.

Seeing as Mitch was the first person he had bumped into, he decided he might as well try keeping up with him.

Confessional: Mitch

"I'm not a masochist or a furry for that matter. I just appreciate attractive fiction. Plus, she reminds me of a girl from one of my horror stories. Who hasn't been a bit excited by meeting something just like their creation?"

XXX

Back with Camila's small posse, they chose to just wander around hoping to find anything related to the hosts. Sadly they hadn't found much.

"The hosts must really Be hiding" Bobby mused as he wandered behind them.

"I wouldn't be surprised if they were making this hard on purpose" Camila grumbled.

"I just hope the others are ok" Liz worried "We fell pretty far earlier in the challenge"

"Oh I'm sure they're fine" Camila waved dismissively.

While they weren't specifically looking for her, Liz could see Bailey in her blue attire hiding next to several more photobooths.

"Oh, there's someone now" Liz smiled before running as fast as she could to her "Bailey, are you ok?"

The freezie pop slowly looked up at Liz and smiled a little "O-Oh yea. I mean no! The r-robots took Vinnie!"

Liz's eyes widened in surprise, but Camila just looked confused "Wait, there's robots around here? We haven't seen a single one yet"

"T-they're probably busy… e-eating her!" Liz could see small ice shards forming at the edge of Bailey's eye.

"And you did nothing to help her?" Camila asked, "Did you just run?"

"I-I didn't run" she whimpered "I-I tried everything to p-pry her free u-until one of the r-robots started chasing me down…"

"Pathetic" Camila mused to herself.

"Oh, I know what this is!" Bobby smiled as he softly put his fist into his palm "This is that FNAF thing…"

"What's a FNAF?" Camila turned to him.

"You don't know?" Bobby looked up at her "It's like… a game about ghost robots"

Some color left Camila's face "What a stupid sounding game. Hardly sounds scary at all"

"Are you sure? Sounds scary" a voice mused.

"Absolutely not scary" Camila shook her head.

"Maybe I can change that!" Camila turned around to see a large bird-themed animatronic jump up from a railing she was standing by. It was rather slim with uh… uh… cupcake in her hand. Nothing else of note.

Camila screamed like a little girl as she started crawling away from it. However, before it could attack Camila Liz stepped in the way with a stern expression.

"I don't suppose you'll consider leaving Camila and Bailey alone… would you?"

"As if!" We need everyone!"

Liz crackled her knuckles "If that's what you want" and before the bird could respond she punched it as hard as she could in the gut.

At first, the robot didn't respond until it suddenly burst into machine parts and flew to the ground below.

"Don't make us do something bird lady" Bobby threatened after all the pieces were long gone.

The two girls stood in awe at her achievement "H-How did you do that?" Camila sat up slowly.

Liz just turned back with a smile and thumbs up "I'm not letting anyone hurt my teammates. Or anyone for that matter!"

Confessional: Liz

Liz repeatedly waved the fist she punched with while blowing on it "that stung to high hell! But… I bet it did impress Camila" she smiled.

"Ugh, there's absolutely no signal down here" Jazmine sighed in annoyance.

"Well it is a good way underground" Therion shrugged.

The two of them plus a mostly silent Ellis were walking around a large room that had slippery ground. Strewn around were many different bumper karts. The lights weren't on but the group didn't care as they tried getting through this room to get to another.

While Therion and Ellis were having trouble keeping their footing, Jaz just slowly skated on the ground.

"The least you two could do is at least try keeping up" she smirked.

"I haven't really gone skating before" Therion tried skating before tripping and grabbing onto one of the bumper cars. He chuckled bashfully as he slowly pulled himself up.

"Better hope that's not a challenge than" she skated back to Ellis and handed him her phone "Can you snap a picture of me please?"

"Oh, sure" he smiled as he moved her phone up to snap a picture of her posing while leaning against a bumper car. He smiled while looking down at it "Oh, this is good. Reminds me of the one Goomine asked me to snap" he mused.

Jazmine stopped posing as she turned back to him "She asked you to snap a photo of herself?"

"Oh, yea. She just wanted me to give it to some modeling agency or something" the sweetheart shrugged a little.

Jazmine just snapped her phone back from him "Thanks for telling me. I'll have to talk to her about this"

"You're welcome. I guess" he smiled.

While the two of them were talking the lights suddenly flicked on. The trio looked up, naturally confused as both exits of the room closed tight. The bumper cars also came to life.

"What's this now?" Therion looked around, not looking nearly as worried as the other two.

Suddenly, laughter filled the room. They turned to the noise to see a small animatronic that looked like a normal little child. Wrapped around his waist were multiple different colored balloons.

"Oh, hey there kid" Therion smiled softly "H-How did you get in here?"

It just continued to giggle excitedly before driving at him. Therion's eyes widened before jumping into the bumper car behind him.

The balloon boy rammed Therion, causing his car to bounce back into a group of others. Jazmine and Ellis only watched the scene, before the animatronic turned back around to face them.

"Now this is getting fun" the sweetheart grinned before jumping into one of the carts, quickly being followed behind by Jaz getting in a different one.

"Let's play!" it smiled before ramming into the two of them, making them bounce around in different directions.

Both of them bounced into a wall, causing the walls to suddenly open up and swallow them whole.

Therion slowly raised his head from behind the wheel, however, he didn't see the child sitting in the bumper car anymore. Therion quickly looked around for where it could have gone, however, he had no sign where it could be.

He slowly crawled from the bumper cart when he could hear its laughter again. The gamer slowly looked up, seeing the balloon boy smiling before dropping down on top of him.

Therion was knocked out cold.

Eventually, the gamer would wake up with a soft groan. "W-what?" He frowned slightly as he started looking around in confusion.

To his surprise, he could see Jazmine and Ellis. However, they were all wearing weird German clothes. He looked down to realize he was dressed up just like the others as he blushed a little out of embarrassment.

"Lookin good Thero" Marty grinned right next to him. He was holding a small instrument in his hands and had marionette strings attached to his limbs.

"T-thanks Marty. What's happening though?" Therion frowned slightly at the photographer.

"I guess we're just a band" he shrugged with a somewhat amused smile.

"It's a stupid song though" Colmillo growled with large metal chains holding her still.

Therion blushed a little at her attire. Though he noticed that while she wasn't dressed like a wrestler, she did have a bag on her head "w-what song are we doing exactly?"

Before either of them could respond they heard someone talking past the curtains "We hope you like this. We made sure to get as many resources as we could!"

"Oh I just can't wait!" a feminine voice spoke excitedly as they clapped their hands together.

With that, the curtains opened wide. Revealing that Vinnie was sitting in the middle of the swarm of animatronics with a lame paper crown on her bear head.

"Vinnie!?" Everyone in the band looked surprised seeing the bear just sitting with the animatronics as they gave her fresh pizza.

"Oh, hey guys!" She waved excitedly while moving her mask to shove some pizza in her mouth.

"Play the queen her tune!" A bear animatronic yelled angrily.

Everyone around Therion started quickly playing 'it's a small world'.

Therion looked around for a moment, making sure this is where things are going now, before singing along to the tune.

"Wow, you guys are good at this" Vinnie mused happily.

Confessional: Dylan

Dylan pulled at her lederhosen with an amused smile "Honestly, this thing is pretty fun. Matching attire would honestly be pretty fun. But y'know, the fact we're being forced to do some song from an amusement park isn't so fun"

Back on another level, Michael was silently walking around by himself. This whole challenge had been a pain for him. Michael had bumped into a giant puppet thing. But it wasn't that hard to just push it over since… it's a puppet.

As he walked, he found himself walking in front of a mirror maze. He glanced to the room, only to see Veronica sprinting out of the room.

"Veronica?" He tilted his head slightly as she hid behind him. He continued to look confused as Mitzy and Ian came running out right after her.

However, when they both saw Michael they skidded to a stop. "They're trying to eliminate me, Michael!" the rich girl screamed in fear.

"I would never!" Mitzy scowled.

"I would but I just want her phone!" Ian started walking closer, however, Veronica continued to use her teammate as a human shield.

"Why do you want it?" He frowned.

Ian and Mitzy froze at that question, trying to avoid looking at each other as Michael's expression became much more skeptical.

"I told you, they're trying to eliminate me" Veronica started faking clear fear.

Michael moved his arm "Let's just go somewhere else" he murmured while backing away from the two of them.

As Michael walked ahead of her, Veronica turned around to clearly show them the image on her phone, before turning back around to join Michael.

Confessional: Mitzy

"I can't believe I'm being blackmailed just because my hero instincts kicked in!" she slapped her own forehead "I'm not even sure what I can do about it. If I suddenly snatch her phone everyone is going to be suspicious of me and think I'm just destroying things! I have to think up something clever and fast. I can't have everyone think I was trying to kiss him while we were in the middle of a challenge…"

Back with the Animatronics, Vinnie was sitting in the middle of them still. The band was given a break "That was fun. But I think me and my friends should start making it back up again"

As she stood up the rest of the animatronics looked surprised "You're leaving?"

"Well yea" she looked around at the crowd "My friends and I were brought down here to get the host and the host lady"

Before any of the animatronics could complain, the group of four featuring Liz, Camila, Bailey, and Bobby walked up to the animatronics with serious expressions. Except for Camila who was hiding well behind the other three.

"I think you're holding things that don't belong to you" Liz threatened.

"What are you talking about?" an annoyed, but small hippo animatronic turned to her.

"Our friends. You're holding her captive too!" She pointed at Vinnie who was just waving to her friends.

"Our queen just wanted them!" a small elephant animatronic frowned.

"Ok" Bailey frowned at them "If we can take those two on you'll just have to let her go then. Only fair"

"No" a red fox animatronic frowned "That's stupid. We'll all just take you on"

"Here we were hoping to take it easy on you guys" Liz shook her head slowly, before turning to the side "You sure you're ready Bobby?"

The slob smiled happily and nodded as he started walking forward. The small set of animatronics didn't seem too bothered by the blob and walked forward to start poking and pushing him around.

"This is your final precaution?" The elephant grinned "This is pathetic!"

While the elephant was beginning to taunt them, the slob simply looked down at a small bear pushing him around. Bobby smiled before suddenly slamming hard on the ground, causing the robot to splatter into multiple different pieces.

He slowly pulled himself back up without using his arms. He turned to the other mini-robots before slamming down on them like a big slab of meat.

"Ready to give up now?" Liz crossed her arms.

"He can't squash the bigger ones!" A normal Foxy smiled like a deranged person before running at the slob.

The other animatronics could only flinch when watching some screws and wires flying in the air. Bobby smiled at the group while wiping some oil off his lips.

"Even I'm starting to get scared of him" Bailey whispered.

However, the robots didn't seem bothered by their intimidation, getting ready to strike the slob when Vinnie stood up on the table "Wait! There's no need to fight everyone! My furry-themed friends, please lead us back to the entrance of this place! I don't want to see anyone get hurt!"

The animatronics looked down slightly "Y-You want to leave us?"

Vinnie slowly stood back down before shaking her head "Not at all. I'll happily come back another time!' she moved down to hug one before moving on to another. And then another.

The animatronics all smiled softly "Ok… we can take the ones here back and then get the others running around…"

"Thank you!" Vinnie beamed happily.

Many of the animatronics went to the stage while moving the curtains. They set the group of them free, before beginning to lead them along. "Alright, finally getting out of here!" Topher sighed in relief. "Raccoons win this challenge! We'll settle on second place once we're safe again!"

Nelly just walked behind him slowly "Thank god these things don't remember me" she murmured.

"I'm glad we have Vinnie on our team for sure" Bailey smiled.

"Let's just hurry out of here" Camila started quickly following Freddy leading the way. She shuddered slightly feeling some of the animatronics staring at her back.


The teams eventually make their way back to the surface, funding a cave at the base of the mountain they climbed last challenge. Topher turned around to the contestants once all of the ones that were captured were together.

These contestants were Bobby, Ellis, Dylan, Liz, Camila, Vinnie, Mimos, Bailey, Therion, Colmillo, Maxine, Marty, and Jazmine.

"Well, that's decided then. Plumbers, you're second place!"

"Ah what?" Dylan and Ellis immediately complained, "How's that fair?"

"More of them get out first than you guys" Topher shrugged "Them's the breaks!"

The three of them just sighed again as they all got stuck waiting around for the rest of their teams to come up.

It didn't take too long for the majority of them to come back up, with Camila smirking smugly at Michael getting dragged up by the Mangle "Should've taken my advice" the clairvoyant shrugged.

The last contestant to be dragged up was Mitch, who was being held by his shirt by Roxanne the wolf "Do come down some other time~" she smiled at the horror enthusiast before setting him down on the ground.

"Yea, uh, m-maybe?" He spluttered, not sure what he should say in response to that.

"Ok, that's everyone" Topher smiled before pointing at the Ferrets "You've lost yet another challenge. So you know what that means?"

"We're voting someone out" Veronica rolled her eyes.

"Good!" The host grinned "See you then, then" he waved before beginning to walk away.

Confessional: Ellis

"This is a bit of a predicament" the guy frowned while rubbing his chin "I was expecting someone to make a move to somehow eliminate Bobby in some way but that isn't going to be happening. I'm clearly safe since I made it in the end but Veronica didn't. I just have to think of who would be worth helping…"

He leaned back in his seat to tap his airpod in his ear, listening to mostly quiet people speaking.

It was after the challenge most of the contestants were lounging around in their own areas. Camila was the only contestant using the top-floor hot tub. She smiled while leaning back to relax.

In the middle of her relaxation, however, she could hear some heels clicking on the ground. She opened her eyes to try to see who it was, but by the time she opened her eyes and looked that way she only saw someone walking out the door.

"Who was that?" Camila frowned slightly while pulling herself out of the hot tub, revealing she was wearing a magenta, purple, and lime green bikini. It had Roma patterns all along them.

She looked down to the ground to see a note settling on the ground almost in a puddle of water.

"This better not be another love letter from Liz or I swear…" she murmured angrily while looking down at this note.

Camila's eyes slowly widened a little, before smiling mischievously "This is good…" she started walking from the hot tub before walking back to the room to get changed.

It was getting later into the evening by now. Walter had already talked to Dylan, Michael, and Bobby about voting for Veronica that evening so he was effectively waiting for the ceremony to finally begin.

While he was waiting, however, he could hear someone walking into the room. He turned his head to the side to see Camila slowly walking into the room with her crystal ball.

"Ah, Walter. Good, I was hoping to find you here" she smiled "I needed to speak with you on something of grave importance"

"Oh?" the future lawyer tilted his head.

"Have you ever had your fortune told young Walter?" Camila sat down across from him.

"Not at all. I admit I've always been curious to hear a prediction" he smiled almost excitedly "What may be my prediction? Would I find out who the villains still around are?"

"That's what I'm here for" she moved a table between themselves to set her crystal ball down "Earlier today I did a premonition for your friend. Bobby, I believe it was."

"Yes, Bobby and I are… kinda friends?" Walter wasn't too sure what to call him.

The clairvoyant slowly caressed the crystal ball with her eyes clamped closed. "Like I predicted earlier today… Michael is of great danger to your teammates"

"Michael?" Walter raised an eyebrow "Why do you think it would be him? He's never done anything bad to me. And Veronica is far ruder"

"Are you questioning my predictions, Walter?" Camila opened her eyes to stare into his "Before I predicted Antoinette was holding the team back, and now we keep winning. Before that, I predicted Mitch would meet a woman and an animatronic was hitting on him. I had even predicted Vinnie carrying our team to victory once before"

Walter shrunk in his seat at her sudden outburst "r-right. A-Are you sure Michael is truly someone of pure villainy?"

She simply nodded before slowly standing up with her ball again "I won't demand anything of you Walter. But I know you have a strong heart, so I believe you to do the right thing"

She glanced over her shoulder before walking from the room and lightly clicked the door shut. Walter sat there in silence, considering what she said and what he should do about it.

Thus, the scene shifted to the elimination ceremony with them all sitting together. It was pretty obvious their numbers were beginning to shrink. They had already voted by now and were just waiting for the results to come around.

"Another in a row, what a shame to see isn't it?" Topher mused "But, at this point, it's just getting sad. So we can get right to counting our votes"

He looked over the votes, slowly nodding "Alright. Let's start this simply. Ellis, Dylan, and Bobby are all safe because they made it out before the rest of the team"

The trio smiled as they caught their marshmallows.

"Also safe we have Walter" the future lawyer smiled while catching his.

"Leaving us with our bottom two" Topher looked down at Veronica and Michael. "Veronica, well, you still don't really have any friends on this team. But Michael, you don't really have any close friends either. But yours is mostly from how quiet you are. So, one of you two social outcasts will be going home tonight."

"Don't lump me in with him" Veronica rolled her eyes.

"Yea that would be nice" Michael murmured.

"Whatever. The one of you two going home tonight will be…"

Michael and Veronica both looked unimpressed by the votes, just glancing at the other.

"Michael, you're out Mr. Origami king"

Veronica smirked as she grabbed her marshmallow "Not surprised" she grinned before taunting him by handing the marshmallow to him "Want a nice little treat before you go forever?"

Michael shot her a small glare "Not reallyyyyyy" he suddenly got shot up the green tube.

She simply shrugged before snacking on her marshmallow.

"You're all free to go now. But I would recommend trying maybe a smidge harder next time" he gestured with a small pinch of his fingers.

The contestants slowly walked out, with Walter looking pretty upset by the vote. Bobby didn't look too bothered, however.

"That went well" Ellis whispered to Veronica on their way out.

"Barely" Veronica murmured "We can't keep losing these challenges"

"I'm sure we'll find a way out of this predicament. At the very least we have one more contestant before we're stuck at a tiebreaker"

"Well, at least we should be able to beat Bobby in one of those" Veronica smirked.

"Then we'll be right to the merge" Ellis nodded confidently.

"Maybe I should be more confident with what we think up" Veronica shrugged with an amusement smile "I mean I know I'm always right"

"That's definitely right" he smiled.

"Just make sure to keep doing whatever you're doing" Veronica snapped at him.

"Ma'am yes ma'am" he rolled his eyes a little while saluting.

AN: And there goes Michael, he was fun. And I know just generally he was a bit of a popular character. So I tried moving him a bit further into the story but I just didn't have too much for him plot-wise here. Maybe another time.
