Episode 3: Icy Hot
Well, I hope everyone had a nice Thanksgiving. Now, it seems as though this crazy year is almost over. But the life of a fanfic writer is never easy. Things have been a bit stressful lately. Dealing with some seasonal depression, and so on. Plus work has kept me busy. So i apologize for the longer wait.
TheMasterKat: It's nice to see you like Katakuri. He was my favorite character. But fear not, this isn't the last you'll see him. As I've said before, I got plans for the big guy. Yep, Isabelle does have her work cut out for her, and the mythos of the Foundation is something I'm excited to write about. As for Mae, I don't think even she knows how she ended up a mummy.
1602jaw: It would be obvious for a powerhouse such as Katakuri to leave early. But this story of the Scarlet King is going to be a fun ride. Of course, Terry has fallen for Aqua. How much will she use and abuse him? Who knows, maybe she could learn a thing or two from him.
Ortizale317: If you read closely, she knows. It's a bit bumming, but what are you gonna do? I've got plans for how today's challenge in the Antarctic will go down.
Happiness studios: Always with the in depth reviews, I see. I get that not everything I make is a masterpiece, but I don't want to reveal all my cards yet. There will be more for everyone to do, and the plot involving the book is not what you think. And I'm expanding stories of those who you'd think would be generic. I know it's starting a little rocky, but it gets better.
That guy: You're right. It is the deadliest one. Who knows what this knowledge will foretell. I will say to keep an eye especially with those like DIO and Coyle.
Guest: Hmm. An alien hunt, huh? I like the sound of it.
ThelastCyberKnight: I was hoping to make each team diverse and unique. And there's more in store for this SCP storyline. Of course JFK wouldn't leave first. Nothing bad ever happens to the Kennedys.
NeverSafeFromWaluigi: Well, not everyone cares about SCPs, but I've been fascinated learning about them. And I've got storylines you won't see coming.
Anyway, I hope you all had a nice Thanksgiving, or black Friday. Anyway, let's get another reminder of how cold it is now with this new chapter.
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
"Last time on Total Drama Infinite 2, after breaking everyone up into three unique teams, it was time for their first challenge in Cairo: a hunt to build their team logos. Even though Katakuri had little faith in his team, some words from Deadpool seemed to change his views. In the end, the Amazing Aces won, and found a rare journal detailed with supernatural anomalies. The Hungry Wolves lost due to sabotage from Coyle, and opted to vote out Katakuri due to his threat status. Can the Aces keep up their momentum? Will the Wolves ever get their act together? And who's that creepy guy that was in the pyramid? Some of these questions will be answered today, on Total Drama Infinite 2!"
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
We open up in the cargo hold. Kiryu is chilling in there, leaning against the wall, deep in thought, and smoking a cigarette. The yakuza went back there to have a smoke in peace. "Times like these can help a guy." He thought. With a group of competitors as outrageous as this, you gotta get some peace and quiet every once in a while.
But that peace and quiet came to an end as someone else walked into the room. It was Glass Joe, looking to be covered in bruises and bandages. The boxer slumps down by the wall. Kiryu was curious as to what happened.
"Rough morning, I presume?" Kiryu asked, taking another puff.
"Yeah." Joe answered. "It's a madhouse out there. Got my butt kicked again."
"Well? What happened to you?"
"Um….okay. It's not so much of a funny story…..kind of depressing, actually. Anyway, it was earlier this morning….."
Flashback…
It was earlier that morning in economy class. Most of the Hungry Wolves and the Dark Fun Gang were sound asleep. Starscream was sleeping peacefully, until he started shaking around, as if something was off. He was shifting and squirming around, almost like a bug was on his back.
"Argh! Don't tell me it's some pesky rat!"
Now reaching his arms behind his back to deal with whatever this problem was, he was making pained grunting sounds that began to wake everyone else up.
"Huh?" Reg groaned, rubbing the sleep out of his eyes. "Wha's happnin'?"
"Thank you, chimichanga man." Deadpool happily said as he was waking up.
"What the eff is going o-" Mae sleepily asked, before seeing The spectacle that was going on.
Everyone was now wide awake, watching Starscream flail and reach his arms behind his back in the aisle.
"Um….are you okay, dude?" Susie asked.
"No! I am not okay!" Starscream snapped! "Some pesky rat is on my back! Aha! Got you!"
Finally grabbing something, Starscream was surprised to see it was none other than Miu, holding a screwdriver and socket wrench. And currently dangling off the ground due to Starscream holding her.
"Just what do you think you're doing, you filthy organic?!"
"Wh-wh-what the hell?!" Miu asked. "Thanks for disturbing my work."
"ANSWER THE QUESTION!"
"Fine. While you were sleeping, I got curious and decided to take a look inside of you!"
"YOU WHAT?!"
Turning around, the Decepticon saw some screws and pieces of purple metal lying on the bench behind him. The horror on his face could not be more obvious.
"WAS THIS YOU?!"
"Duh-doy." Miu answered. "What? Did you fuckin' flunk out of robot 'tard school or something? Not only are you a huge talking robot, but you come from outer space. Can it get any cooler than that?"
By this point, Starscream was frothing with rage at feeling violated and assaulted.
"Looks like Screamer is gonna blow a gasket in more ways than one." Deadpool said.
"Uh, that's not a good thing." Terry pointed out. "Should we do something?"
"HOW DARE YOU!" Starscream ranted. "DO YOU KNOW WHO YOU'RE DEALING WITH?! I'M THE LEADER OF THE DECEPTICONS!"
"Well fuck you too, pal." Miu said bluntly. Before he could do anything, Spinel quickly grabbed Miu and pulled her back to their side.
"Take a chill pill." Spinel told Starscream. "We're not trying to start any trouble."
"Real sorry about her, robot guy." Aqua said. "It's not our fault she's a techno-phile."
"Well, keep your teammate on a leash!" Starscream huffed. "Honestly, how did she even manage to get behind me anyway? I never let my guard down!"
"Oh, you can thank me for that." Max said. The cynical troublemaker was sitting there with a smug grin plastered on his face. "I helped her out. And before you ask why, it was strictly for my own personal enjoyment to watch you squirm."
Slowly turning around to glare at him, Starscream snatches Max up by his hoodie. Despite the situation he was in, Max showed no fear on his face.
"I'M GOING TO BEAT THE LIVING CRAP OUTTA YOU!"
"Eh. Do your worst." Max said casually.
"HOLD IT!" Edgeworth exclaimed. "Don't you dare hurt that child!"
"I agree." Iida said sternly. "Put our fellow teammate down this instant."
"I don't care if he's a child or grown man!" Starscream said, raising his fist closer to Max. "Regardless, he will suffer my wrath!"
But Glass Joe sat there, and feared for the kid. Not that generally liked him, but he couldn't just sit there and let his teammates turn on each other like this.
Hey, uh, put him down." Joe said nervously, but boldly. "Please. Let's not be at each other's throats."
Starscream dropped Max and immediately peered down at Joe. "Or what, you scrawny wimp?"
"I-I...uh….u-um…." Well, he didn't expect this. A giant alien robot ready to take his anger out on him. He just couldn't get the words out. He felt weak. Just like he always was. Even looking back on his moment where he took a brave stand against DIO seems like a fever dream now.
"No words, huh?" Starscream snarked. "I expected as much. People like you who try to look strong but are utterly weak really grind my gears!"
And with that, Starscream kicks the scrawny boxer to the ground and begins to stomp on him over and over, and Joe just lays there, taking the abuse. Everyone else in the room watched this with shock.
"Don't try to be a hero, you wimp!"
"Shouldn't we help him?!" Wendy asked.
"No." Tatsumaki answered. "In life, you pick your fights, and this is his fight."
"And you call yourself a superhero." Carla muttered.
"God, can this guy get any more pathetic?" Rick said.
Joe laid there with tears in his eyes (one of them is now swollen shut), as he was proven once again that he was out of his league.
End of Flashback…..
"...And that's the sad truth." Joe finished.
"I see….." Kiryu said, thinking long and hard after hearing his story. "I must say, I like that you got guts."
"Huh?" Joe asked. "You're not…..laughing at me? Or making fun of my weakness?"
"Weakness? The fact that you're well aware of how you are, yet still wishing to prove yourself is the farthest thing from a weakness. It's not physical prowess that makes the man, but the determination and confidence that lies inside of him."
"That's….actually really nice to hear." Joe said. "Unfortunately, that can only get you so far."
"Tell you what." Kiryu said as he was finishing up his cigarette. "You want to be more tough? Then let me teach you. After hearing your story, I see potential in you."
"R-really?" Joe asked. He never expected a guy like Kiryu to help someone like him out. A guy who comes from an enemy team, offering to help him get tougher. "That's very generous of you. But do you really think you could help someone like me?"
The yakuza gives the slightest hint of a smirk. "You're talking to the Dragon of Dojima. I don't like to brag about it, but as a man who let's his fists do the talking, my name alone makes people piss themselves where I come from. That enough proof for you?"
"I don't know what to say?" Joe stammered.
"Don't say anything. Your story and your will have piqued my interest. Let's talk a little later when you're all healed up."
At that moment, someone else walked through the door. That someone happened to be Starscream.
"Well, well, well." The Decepticon snarked. "Did you come back here to wallow in self pity?"
"Listen, pal." Kiryu spoke up. He began cracking his knuckles, and gave a glare that sent chills down Starscream's spine. "Give the guy a break. Trying to flaunt your ego all over everyone is really unbecoming and is pissing me off."
"Y-you think I'm scared of you?!" Starscream stammered
"I don't know. Are you? Anyway, me and Joe-san here were just leaving."
The two of them leave the room, leaving a confused and fuming Starscream.
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
"What a guy." Joe said. "Offering to help me out. Maybe this is just what I need."
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
"I don't mind being a listening ear for people," Kiryu said. "But I see determination and the will to improve in an underdog like him. So I don't mind helping him toughen up a bit."
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
"Fools, the lot of them" Starscream seethed.
"Glad someone agrees." A voice said.
"WHO SAID THAT?!"
Scanning the room, Starscream found DIO chilling out in the corner.
"Oh, it's just you. What are you even doing back here, anyway?"
"Shirking my intern duties, of course." DIO calmly answered. "I understand your plight. They're all fools. Some of them more than others. I hate them all with a burning passion.
"Is that so? Then why be here near the people you hate and humiliate yourself with the lowest of the low job?"
"Simple answer." DIO smirked. "I wish to seek payback on them. I was unfairly eliminated because of them. And it just so happens that I found the perfect person to help me put them in their place.."
"Wait, what?"
"I'm saying that I think if we work together, we could eliminate all these dirty little rats. You want to win and show your dominance over them, and I want payback on them. I think it's a fair deal."
"Ha! Yeah right!" Starscream said. The Decepticon began to laugh out loud. "And why would I work with you?!"
"You should be thanking me. Without me, you wouldn't have the position you're in now."
"Huh? What do you mean?"
"I mean that I'm the one who killed Megatron. You're now the boss because of me."
"WHAT?! SERIOUSLY?!"
"Bingo." The vampire thought. "I did." He continued. "The others failed trying to fight him. I landed the killing blow. I even tried to offer up the one that killed your ally Blitzwing to him as collateral." DIO was then reminded of his interaction with Dororo, and how she unfortunately made off with one of his Stand arrows. "I'll help you out and give some insider info so you can win."
"So it was you that I'm to thank for all of this." Starscream said.
"Is that enough to show you that you can trust me?" DIO asked.
"I guess it is. Alright then. You got yourself a deal." Starscream and DIO then shake on it.
"All I ask is that we keep this between us." DIO informed. "No one else needs to know, especially Chris."
"Don't you worry."
"Then let me give you a heads up on the challenge…."
The scene pans out as DIO begins explaining the challenge.
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
"Since Cinder doesn't want my help, I just needed to find someone else who seemed willing to go along with my plan." DIO said. "But Starscream? Just the guy I needed. And who knows? Maybe I need to find one or two more people to help. One by one they will all get their comeuppance."
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
"I never really took this guy seriously." Starscream said. "Guess I really do have him to thank. I now rule an empire, so of course he'd give me this offer. Our objectives are similar, though the end goals are different."
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
Meanwhile in first class, the Amazing Aces (save for Kiryu) were each enjoying the luxury in their own way. Edward was watching a movie on one of the TVs while Meggy and Tari were playing Mario Kart on another. Dr. Coyle was quietly tinkering with a contraption she calls "Hedlok" Harley, Cinder, and 18 were sitting at the bar, quietly drinking.
As for Charlie, she was looking very glum, still upset that Katakuri had been eliminated so early. She was absent mindedly flipping through pages of the book they found in the pyramid. She saw a drawing of a creature dressed like a plague doctor, a weird type of reptile described to be unkillable, and surprisingly, a pocket dimension that lies in an IKEA store. But she wasn't interested in any of it right now.
"Hey, uh, why so glum, baby?" JFK asked as he sat down next to her. He slowly tries to put his arm around her.
"Oh. Uh, I just never expected Katakuri to be voted off already." Charlie replied.
"That really tall guy with the stitched up mouth? Such a bummer. Were you guys friends? Because I can fill that void."
The demon princess immediately stood up, ruining JFK's plan. She knew full well what he was trying to do. "We are way closer than that."
"Aw, what?!" He complained. "You are?!"
"Yeah. Hate to burst your bubble, but it's true."
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
"Well damn." JFK muttered. "That giant pirate guy is already plowing a hottie like her?! This game makes no sense."
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
Everyone goes quiet as Kiryu walks back in.
"Hey, man." Edward said. "Where have you been?"
"Just out for a walk." Kiryu said as he sat down at the bar. "So, do you guys have any guesses on where we're going next?"
"Hell if I know." Harley. "But I personally want to keep kicking ass like we have been. This place is too good to pass up."
"I hear that." 18 said. "Living like this, it makes you wonder how the other teams are doing.
(Meanwhile…..)
After the events of that morning, things were calming down between the other two teams that sat in economy class. Wendy continued treating Joe's injuries from earlier, while others were chatting and sharing stories.
"There. That should be enough." Wendy said, using a little more of her healing magic. "Just try to take it easy."
"Merci beaucoup, Wendy." Joe said. "But it'll be hard to take it easy on this show."
"...so then, I sent Geese falling off his tower. Again." Terry finished, recalling the fights of his past.
"And that's when he fell into Tekken 7?" Deadpool asked.
"I 'unno."
"Never took you for a strong fighter." Spinel said.
"Well, given how tough the competition is, I wouldn't even bet on myself this time."
"Oh, I'm sure you're strong enough to take on anyone here." Aqua said, trying her best to feed the Lone Wolf's ego. If you want an ally to be your serva-er-bodyguard, and to get them on your side, your best bet is to butter them up. Feed their ego.
"Heh. Is it that obvious?" Terry asked, flexing his arm.
"Big deal." Waluigi scoffed. "You don't seem that strong, compared to the great Waluigi."
"Anyone else feel like they're fuckin' freezing?" Miu asked, starting to shiver. "Somebody needs to crank up a damn heater.
This question got everyone's attention, as everyone began to feel cold chilling winds blowing in through the cracks and crevices of the walls. They were all feeling the temperature drop in the room.
"N-n-no k-kidding." Sora said, his teeth beginning to chatter from the cold.
"Don't worry!" Isabelle said, walking in with a huge pot. "I made some hot chocolate for all of y-AAAAAHHHH!"
The busybody secretary's clumsiness kicked in, and Isabelle tripped, spilling the hot drink all over the floor.
"Ohhh, I'm so sorry!" Isabelle cried, pulling out a towel to clean up this mess.
"What a klutz!" Waluigi said, laughing his butt off at Isabelle's misfortune.
"Yeah, guess I should've been more careful." Isabelle said sheepishly. "If you want, I can make you some more later."
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
"Aghhh!" Waluigi cried. "She's relentless! Doesn't she get the picture yet?! Waluigi wants nothing to do with her!"
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
They all look out the window, only to not see much due to the heavy snowing that was out there.
"It's a blizzard!" Reg cried.
"Great, now I'm craving some Dairy Queen." Deadpool said.
"Attention passengers!" Chris said through the intercom. "I'd suggest you fasten your seatbelts, 'cause it's gonna be a rough landing as we approach our destination."
The plane began to shake as they were landing. Everyone did as Chris instructed and strapped themselves in.
But it wasn't enough. The landing was so rough that it was knocking everyone around like a pinball machine.
Finally, the plane grinded to a halt, as everyone was scared and disoriented.
"CAN WE DO IT AGAIN?!" Spinel and Deadpool asked.
"NO!"
(A few minutes later…..)
Everyone eventually made their way outside, and were hit by the harsh reality of this new environment. They step on the ice, and that's actually all they could see for miles. Everyone shivered and hugged themselves or each other for warmth. Chris, meanwhile, joined the group while wearing a large winter coat, snow boots, and thick mittens. The host was as warm as could be while everyone else was freezing.
"Welcome to Antarctica!" Chris started. "The coldest, windiest, and driest continent on the planet. Kind of the most boring one if you ask me."
"Where the hell are our coats?!" Harley angrily asked.
"Should've brought your own." Chris gave a mischievous, taunting laugh.
"This almost makes me miss the hot desert." Aqua groaned.
"Actually, most of Antarctica is considered a desert." Iida informed.
"Huh?"
"Not every desert is hot and sandy. Antarctica is also very dry and has a low precipitation rate, so that would constitute it as a desert."
"Huh. Did not know that." Edward said. "Guess you learn something new every day.
"This nerd lesson isn't making it any warmer!" Susie complained. "So zip it!"
"As I was saying," The host continued, motioning to a huge mountain that can be seen many miles in the distance. It had many slopes, rock formations, and craters. From the top crater, there was gas and a little bit of lava spewing out. "If you look into the distance, you'll see Mt. Erebus. The southernmost active volcano on earth."
"Wait, Antarctica has volcanoes?!" Meggy asked.
"That they do." Chris answered. "Mt. Erebus is still very much active, but there's more than likely no chance of it erupting today. Your challenge will be a race to said volcano."
"No way!" Tatsumaki said firmly. "You've pulled a lot of crazy challenges, but you're not going to send us to a volcano!"
"Relax." Chris reassured. "It's not like you'll actually be going to the top of it. That thing has lava pools that make it inhospitable and nearly impossible to get to. Not to mention we don't have any climbing gear. So you're just going to race to the finish line set up at the bottom base of the volcano."
"Judging by the distance, it looks as though that's quite a long trek." Rick said. "You really expect us to walk all the way there?"
"Well, you won't be racing on foot." Chris said, motioning to three huge blocks of transparent ice. Inside each of them was a huge snowmobile, big enough to seat ten people each. "You will each have to break through the ice, and use the snowmobile to race to the finish line. The first team to reach the end with all of their teammates intact will win first class to our next destination. The last team to show up will be sending one of their own members packing."
"That should be no problem." Cinder said, emitting flames from her hand.
"Not so fast." Chris said. With a snap of his fingers, had DIO hand each team a box. Giving the Dark Fun Gang their box, he sneakily gave Starscream a wink.
"You will be using these pickaxes to break the ice. I will allow you to use tools or devices of your own to aid in this. But you're not allowed to use any superhuman abilities. This includes, but not limited to, magic, psychic abilities, holy powers, or alchemy."
"Well damn." Edward mumbled. If he was allowed to, he could've converted the ice block to water.
"But once you guys are on the open ice, anything goes. At that point you can use any powers or tools at your disposal to hinder the other teams. And make sure to avoid traps and obstacles that may impede you during the race segment."
"At least either way, I get to use ol' reliable." Susie said, kissing the handle to her trusty battle axe.
"Are we still not getting coats?" Max complained. "We're freezing our asses off here!"
Chris ignored the cynical devil child's question and pulled out his trusty air horn. With one loud blast of the sound, the challenge was on. "Let the challenge begin!"
With that, each team ran up to their ice blocks, and got a good look at what they were dealing with. The size of each block was surely massive, rising up to about Katakuri's height. (Keep in mind he's 16 feet tall). The snowmobile was suspended inside, and could be visibly seen.
"Yeesh, looks like this may be tricky." Terry said. "Let's get cracking, no pun intended."
Each team opens their boxes and take out their pickaxes. But the Dark Fun Gang were treated to quite a surprise. Their pickaxes looked to be brand new, and of higher quality than the other team's, which looked old and hand me down.
"Sweet!" Sora said. "Looks like we got lucky."
But Starscream had a feeling that it wasn't luck. That look DIO gave him earlier painted a clear picture. DIO intentionally gave his team the better tools.
"Well, that doesn't seem quite fair." Iida said. "Maybe their was a mix up."
He was going to tell Chris about this, but Starscream quickly held him back.
"Hold up, speedy." Starscream said nervously. He didn't want some goody two shoes to ruin the advantage they were given. "Chris probably just did this intentionally. You've seen how unpredictable this show can get. This is no different."
"He's right." Carla said as she picked up a pickaxe that was definitely too big for her.
"There's still the problem with how cold it is!" Susie said. The monster teen looked over at Wendy. "Hey. Don't you still have that Dragonite? Dragons breath fire, so we could at least use it for warmth."
"Sorry." Wendy told her. "I left him at home. My friends are looking after him while I'm here."
"Hey, less yakking." Tatsumaki ordered. "We have a race to win, so less complaining, and more ice breaking."
Not wanting to argue with a super powerful psychic who could flatten you, the rest of them grab a pickaxe and start hacking away. (Except for Susie, who used her own axe)
The other teams, meanwhile, were trying to figure out their game plan. But out of the two the Amazing Aces had a more clear idea, with Kiryu leading, motivating, and directing his team. The yakuza already had them making progress, chipping away at the ice.
"Keep it up, you guys!" Kiryu said, chipping the ice at a much faster rate than his teammates. "Go faster! We need to keep up our streak!"
Despite being a star athlete, JFK was getting very out of breath trying to keep up with Kiryu, and refused to be outshined by one of the few other males on their team. He was jealous. In his mind, if he proved he was the strongest and most dominant male there, then he'd have all the ladies' eyes on him.
"Not bad, mafia man." JFK said. "But I bet I could do this with my-er-uh, eyes closed and both hands tied behind my back."
"Good for you." Kiryu said, not really caring for what the clone said.
"I mean it! Try and top that!"
"Look, it's not a freakin' contest." Harley said, continuing to bash at the ice with her bat. "Shut the hell up and keep working."
JFK gritted his teeth in frustration. Seems as though Kiryu wasn't fazed. His paranoia kicked in, and he was thinking that all of these girls were simply fawning over Kiryu.
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
"Tch. Er-uh, who does that guy think he is?!" JFK sulked. "If anyone should be leading these, uh, guys to victory, it should be me. I don't tolerate some schmuck who comes from who knows where, trying to outdo a lady killer like me. He's one step away from getting a knuckle sandwich, and I-er-uh, know I could take him on."
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
"Can someone please elaborate on what this guy's damage is?" Kiryu pondered.
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
And now, we move over to the Hungry Wolves. Their plan was the most….. unorthodox of the three. Everyone stood in shock as Deadpool was pulling a multitude of items out of his magic satchel. Flamethrowers, gatling guns, shotguns, a bazooka, a cluster bomb, some questionable chemical weapons, microwavable chimichangas, autographed photos of himself, a Blue Eyes White Dragon card, and lots and lots of katanas.
"Good lord!" Edgeworth exclaimed. "Almost half of this violates the Geneva Convention!"
Rick just gave a surprised whistle. "Damn. That's one hell of a weapons cache."
"Forgive Waluigi for asking, but, what exactly is your plan?" Waluigi asked.
"Oh ho ho! We have something that those other teams don't have." Deadpool said. "Me! I can provide virtually any weapon we'd need to break through the ice easily. I mean, Chris said that items or tools that aren't part of your superhuman abilities is allowed."
"I call dibs on this fun looking toy." Spinel happily said, picking up the bazooka.
"Would you put that down!" Edgeworth exclaimed. "You're seriously going to kill someone with that!"
"While I like the idea," Terry said, "I think that maybe we should just stick with the flamethrowers. It's the least dangerous but most effective means to get the snowmobile out of there."
"I guess…..it really is our best shot." Edgeworth said hesitantly.
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
"I honestly bear no ill will against any of my teammates." Edgeworth said. "I mean, it's kind of like having eight different Gumshoes on the team. But Katakuri may have been onto something. We need all the help we can get. Being down one person is already a major handicap, so we really need to work together and put in the extra effort. Although that's easier said than done."
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
By now, each Wolf had themselves a flamethrower.
"Now remember kids." Deadpool said, looking at the camera. "Don't imitate what you're about to see, or MemeKing is getting cancelled."
"Let's remember to be careful." Reg warned. "We don't wanna accidentally torch our only mode of transportation too."
"Everyone step back!"
But before they got to barbecue the ice, everyone heard a….
Ding Ding
And cue the groans of everyone except for those like Deadpool and Charlie.
"To help this part go a little quicker, I think this calls for a song." Chris said.
"What a pain." Mae huffed.
(Author's Note: This song starts up with an upbeat, medium tempo pop tune. The perfect motivational song for work. The name of the song is called "An Ice Day for Work"
Terry: We gotta torch it up bright! We gotta melt it up right!
Deadpool: Hold those burners proudly!
Charlie: I hope we don't freeze and die! We can succeed if we try!"
Everyone: Sing and work it loudly!
Aqua: It's not much of an ice day to work!
Susie: Keep it up or I'll act like a jerk!
Spinel: It's cold!
Kiryu: Sugoku samuidesu! (It's freezing!)
Everyone: It's not much of an ice day to work!
Max: We need to get this shit done! This is so far from fun!
Wendy: Try to brace the freezing winds!
Tari: This is the ultimate test! So wee must try our best!
Everyone: I wish I was back home with my friends!
Reg: It's not much of an ice day for work!
Harley: Keep working or I'll act like a jerk!
Miu: It's cold!
Iida: It's freezing!
Everyone: It's not much of an ice day for work!
And with that, the song ends as the three teams are making progress in breaking their ice blocks. But thanks to high octane flamethrowers the Wolves had, they were the first to completely get through the ice. The other two teams were caught off guard by the huge blast of heat, and looked on in shock!
"Aww, no fair!" Susie whined! "They got flamethrowers!"
"Actually," Sora said, "they have a Deadpool."
"Seems as though the advantage we had was pointless." Joe said glumly.
"Yeah, the laws of reality and fiction can go suck a lemon!" Deadpool said proudly.
"Pick up the pace, you all!" Kiryu told the Aces. "Those Wolves are beating us! And the Dark Fun Gang is farther than we are!"
"Maybe you're just not that good at motivating." JFK said, mocking the yakuza. "Maybe if I took the helm, we'd be way ahead of them!"
"Pretty sure it wouldn't make a difference." 18 sad. "He obviously knows what he's doing."
"No, he doesn't!"
Coyle looked on at JFK curiously. The way he tried to prove who was number one really gave her brain a spark of an idea.
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
"Curiouser and curiouser." Coyle mused, creepily tilting her head in the process. "Maybe he needs a little push in the right direction. At least, my own experimental definition of a push. Only the smart shall remain."

"Congrats to the Hungry Wolves for getting their snowmobile first!" Chris congratulated. "But it's far from over. You all better hop on and head for the finish line."
"Hop on, you guys!" Terry said, jumping behind the wheel as their driver. The rest of the team took a seat, with Reg taking up the rear. Although Aqua took a seat up front, sitting on Terry's lap, and making him a little uncomfortable.
"U-uh...w-what are you doing?" Terry stammered.
"Chris said there's some obstacles that will get in our way." Aqua answered. "So you need someone to help scope them out. Besides, we need someone as….uh…..skilled as you to drive us. Plus, you'll hold onto me in case this ride gets rough, right?"
"Wel, uh, yeah….heh heh ." Terry said nervously. It felt nice to have a girl admire his skills, not to mention that same girl sit this close to him. This race now rested on his shoulders. The Lone Wolf now had to focus his attention to the icy path ahead of him.
"Hold on tight! This might be a bumpy ride." Terry finally hits the gas and….
...Nothing happened.
"Huh?!"
The snowmobile didn't drive at all. He kept hitting the gas over and over, and it wouldn't drive. The rest of the team started to get a little concerned.
"What's the fuckin' holdup, Bumgard?!" Miu asked. "Why aren't we moving?!"
Terry began to panic and keep slamming the gas. "I don't know!"
Chris was sitting there watching their plight and laughing. "Sorry I forgot to mention this, but once you free your snowmobile, you gotta figure out how to get them working on your own. No state of the art transportation here."
"Oh, that is just bullshit!" Rick said. "I respect that."
Starscream laughed. "Looks like those idiots don't have as much of a lead as they thought!" He said.
By this point, the Dark Fun Gang just managed to free their snowmobile.
"Let's boogie!" Susie said.
"But wait!" Isabelle said. "That must mean ours is the same."
"Step aside." Max told them. He took a look around the inside of the front of the snowmobile, and started moving some wires around. "If I can hotwire a bus, then this shouldn't be too much harder."
After connecting a couple more fires, their engine began running.
"Now we're back in business!"
"Quite impressive for a shrimp like you." Tatsumaki said. "Good thinking, kid."
"Wow, great job, Max." Wendy said. "You're a pretty good guy."
"No I'm not!" Max said defensively. "I'm a total asshole jerk! This is only to win!"
"Guess that makes the both of us jerks." Mae mumbled to herself.
Susie hops behind the wheel, and the rest of the Dark Fun Gang hop on, and they drive off, securing the lead.
"See you losers at the finish line!" Starscream said as they drove off.
"We need to get this thing moving!" Spinel exclaimed.
"I'm trying!" Terry cried.
By this point, the Amazing Aces finally freed their snowmobile.
"Good work!" Kiryu told the team. "Now let's find a way to power it up."
Coyle gave a confident laugh. "Finally! Another chance to let my genius truly shine!"
Everyone watched as her arms converted into weird looking rice paper umbrellas, with electricity flying off them. Another specialty ARM of hers known as the Parabola.
"Um….what are you planning to do with those things?" Meggy asked.
"Relax. It'll basically work like a defibrillator for this poor vehicle."
The intense scientist sticks the points of the Parabolas into the sides of the snowmobile and sends thousands of volts into it, kickstarting the machine up. The Aces cheer for this as Coyle looks proud.
"Bravo, lady!" JFK said. "Who, uh, would've thought science would actually be useful."
"Why thank you, boy." Coyle mused as the team was getting on the snowmobile and strapping in. This was her chance. But she got closer to JFK and began to whisper in his ear.
"I've seen your manliness, and I'm impressed." Coyle told him. "Show me what a strong man you are and show that Kiryu up."
JFK just gives a nod. "Ring a ding ding, baby. I'll show ya. I'll put that guy in his place."
"Quit babbling and get on!" Kiryu said, already behind the wheel.
"Oh, sure." JFK mumbled as he sat right behind him.
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
"Awright!" JFK exclaimed, pumping his fist in the air. "Finally a nice broad who sees my greatness. I'll wow her, and I'll show up that pretty boy while I'm at it.
After that, the Amazing Aces take off, only leaving just the Hungry Wolves alone and still stationary.
"Well, looks like we're gonna lose again." Rick said. "Nice knowing you guys or whatever."
"No way!" Spinel said. "I refuse to go down easily. We can't give up now! The other teams thought up a solution, so we can as well."
"Do you have any ideas?" Edgeworth asked Spinel.
"None at all."
The prosecutor just sighed and readjusted his glasses. "But you are right. We must think of our own alternative way to get this thing moving."
But one of them had an idea. Miu's face suddenly lit up as she began to cackle wildly. "Looks like it's time for me to show my latest fuckin' amazing invention!"
The girl genius pulls out a small remote.
"Hey, don't go changing the channel on us." Deadpool joked.
"Wah-t exactly is your plan anyway?" Waluigi asked skeptically.
"Would you fucking virgins just shut and watch!" Miu swore. "This is going to blow your minds as well as your loads."
Miu presses the button on the remote, and let's the magic unfold. Suddenly, Reg begins to feel funny as his back opens up, and exhaust tailpipes pop out. (Luckily for this he sat in the back)
"WHAT ARE THOSE AND WHY ARE THEY INSIDE ME?!" Reg cried. "I DON'T REMEMBER HAVING THOSE!"
"You like 'em?" Miu asked. "I installed those puppies onto you last night night while you were sleeping. Got the idea from that Iida prick and that quirk of his. Whaddya think? Cool shit, right?"
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
Reg was seen in the fetal position. Shivering as he was rocking back and forth. "I feel so violated." He said. "I don't care if it's cool. Who knows what else she did to me."
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
"Now for the coup de fuckin' grâce." Liu said as she pushed another button. "Also, you all might want to hold onto your sphincters."
A loud rumbling sound could be heard coming from Reg, like the sound of an engine. Everyone began to realize what was happening, so they did as Miu instructed and held on tightly. And it's a good thing they did, because a huge turbo boom of fire blew out of the back of the tailpipes, blasting them ahead. Now, all three teams were racing to the end, and the Hungry Wolves had some catching up to do.
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
"Easy-peezy!" Miu said proudly. "I'm a fuckin' genius!"
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
"I will *belch* admit," Rick said. "She's got some skill. Although I'll admit I probably would have thought of something similar, this kid has proven to not be the most boring person on *urp* this shithole of a team. She's probably someone to keep an eye on!"
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
We now move to the Dark Fun Gang, who were currently in the lead. But the path ahead wasn't easy. Explosions erupted around them, because Chris was being Chris by leaving land mines along the path.
"Turn left!" Wendy ordered. She opted to scout out obstacles, and instructed Susie on which direction to turn.
"Not bad." Susie said as she avoided another explosion. "How do you know where they are?"
"Oh, you know," Wendy said, her eyes glowing red like a certain pirate. "I'm just trying to prevent the bad futures I see."
"No way!" Sora exclaimed. "Are you saying you can see the future like Katakuri?!"
"Yeah. In between seasons, he kept teaching me, and I learned how to take my Observation Haki to the next level. Although it's still not quite as good as his."
"That's amazing!" Joe said.
TURN RIGHT!"
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
"Hmm…." Starscream pondered. "So this is the child that beat DIO and won last season? I'm personally not impressed. Her victory must've been a fluke. A girl and her cat stand no chance."
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
Iida, however, noticed something in the distance. "Look out!" He pointed ahead. They looked to see a group of penguins waddling in a long single file line. "Penguins ahead!"
"Should I ram right through them?" Susie asked, beginning to accelerate.
"No! Don't hurt them!" Isabelle cried.
"Unfortunately, it looks like there's no way to go around them." Carla said.
Before they could deal with this, something else had arisen. The Dark Fun Gang heard a loud sonic boom, and it was getting closer. Surprisingly for them, they saw the Hungry Wolves, in their snowmobile, zooming past them at an alarming speed. They quirky team crashes through the group of penguins, knocking them away like bowling balls.
"Looks like we'll be seeing you fuckers at the finish line!" Miu cackled as they sped off. "
"Grrrrrggghh!" Starscream growled. "How did they manage to get ahead of us?!"
Before they could think of an answer, it began to rain penguins, due to the Wolves barreling through them.
"Since there's a song about it raining men, do you think there's one for penguins?" Mae asked.
"Now's not the time for dumbass questions!" Tatsumaki snapped.
But Susie swerved and turned with finesse, dodging the falling penguins.
"Heh. Looks like I've learned a lot since that Mario Kart challenge." Susie said.
Now they heard another snowmobile coming closer. Now doubt about it that it was the Amazing Aces.
"Sacré bleu!" Joe exclaimed. "The other team is gaining on us! We're sure to lose now!"
'Wait!" Wendy said, looking behind them. "Something looks wrong!"
Everyone except Susie looked behind them to see the Amazing Aces' snowmobile swerving out of control. They had their own problem they were dealing with.
While Kiryu was trying to drive them, JFK was trying to shove him out of the way and take the wheel.
"What do you think you're doing?!" Kiryu asked with JFK's hand in his face.
"Its high time I-er-uh, show you who the real man of this team is!" JFK replied. He was using all of his might to push the yakuza out of the way, but Kiryu was putting up a struggle. The rest of the team was watching this in shock. Except Coyle, who had a small grin on her face.
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
"Guess he really his dumb." Coyle laughed. "Or at least, he doesn't think with his brain! Hahaha!"
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
Throughout all of that, Coyle was the least perturbed by what was going on." Cinder said. "I understand JFK is an idiot with an ego, but it makes you wonder. Does she have something to do with this?"
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
"Get off of him!" Charlie exclaimed. "He's trying to drive us!"
"No way, missy! This punk is gonna learn that I'm top dog here!"
"I don't know what you're getting at!" Kiryu said, trying to keep his focus on the icy road ahead. But JFK sure wasn't making it easy by trying to push him out of the way. "I'm just trying to help us win! So get your mind out of this little world you live in and quit this right now!"
"Tough words coming from a man who doesn't have abs like mine that are so firm that you can grate cheese on 'em!"
"Now you're just talking nonsense!" Edward snapped. "Let him go!"
"Can it, half pint!"
By this point, all of this swerving due to Kiryu losing focus, explosions were erupting from all over.
"You're gonna get us killed!" Harley said. The psycho villainess grabs a hold of JFK's shoulder to pull him away. "Get the hell off of him!"
"Don't touch me like that, you crazy bitch!" JFK snapped, violently pushing Harley off of him. This act of violence made the team gasp.
Except for Kiryu. He was mad. It was one thing to mess with him, but if there was one thing Kiryu didn't tolerate, it was disrespecting women. The yakuza turns around and punches JFK in the face with all of his might. The impact sent the teen flying off the snowmobile, and into the distance behind them. His screams could be heard very faintly as he was sent flying. After that, Kiryu quietly focuses his attention back at the ice ahead as his team was stunned.
"Um...thanks?" Harley said.
"Don't mention it." Kiryu said. "But please forgive me, everyone. Because of that, we're probably sure to lose now since Chris said we needed everyone there."
"Hey, don't worry about it." 18 told him. "That guy was really starting to get on my nerves."
"Amen to that." Edward said.
"None of us blame you." Tari said. "For now, let's just focus on reaching the finish line."
Kiryu gives a nod as they manage to pass the Dark Fun Gang.
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
"I just don't tolerate it when people like that disrespect women." Kiryu said. "Same goes with children. People like that are despicable. And that's coming from a man with a past like mine."
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
Meanwhile, Chris waited at the finish line, which was two poles with a big red banner across. Behind that was the base of Mt. Erebus. The sadistic host sat in a comfy chair and cup of hot chocolate, waiting for the team's to show up. Soon, he noticed a snowmobile coming towards them at high speed. This was definitely the Hungry Wolves. Once they cross the finish line, the tailpipes on Reg's back sputter and give out, slowing them down. Once it stopped, the whole team was shown wide eyed with their hair blown back from the high acceleration.
"Guess it…..worked after all." Reg managed to say.
"Dear God….." Terry groaned.
"Can we do it again?" Deadpool and Spinel asked.
"No way!" Waluigi snapped. "Waluigi never wants to go through a nightmare like that again!"
"Hey!" Miu snapped. "It worked, didn't it?! We fuckin' won this time!"
"Indeed you did!" Chris announced. "Hungry Wolves, you have redeemed yourselves from your loss and have now won the challenge. First class is all yours."
The whole team hops off the snowmobile and cheer for their victory. Spinel and Deadpool high five, Terry tosses his hat up in the air, and Reg breathes a sigh of relief.
The little robot looks over to Miu. "Um….thanks for helping us win."
"No problem." Miu said proudly. "If you want, I can outfit you with some more cool ass shit that can help us in challenges!"
"Yeah…...but next time, could you please not do it to me in my sleep?"
"We'll see."
"Not bad, kid." Rick said to Miu. "Though you still got a lot to learn."
"With that, the Hungry Wolves take first." Chris announced. "Now, it's a race between the Amazing Aces and the Dark Fun Gang to not be last."
Meanwhile, the other two teams were swerving like crazy, neck and neck against each other in the final stretch of the race. Both Kiryu and Susie stared at each other, trying to outspeed the other.
But by a very narrow margin, the Aces cross the finish line first. Once the Dark Fun Gang cross, both teams hop off.
"Blast!" Starscream yelled, stomping around in a tizzy.
"We were so close." Wendy said glumly.
"Not so fast." Chris said. "Aces, it looks as though you're missing a teammate. What's up with that?"
It was at this moment that JFK finally ran up past the finish line and up to his team. Now, he had a black eye.
"What the, uh, hell was that for, you frickin' psychopath?!" JFK raised his fists toward Kiryu. "You wanna go for round two, pretty boy?!"
"You two can duke it out once we get back on the plane." Chris told them. "But be ready for elimination tonight, because your team lost. Dark Fun Gang, you guys didn't win first class, but you won't be sending someone home today. Amazing Aces, I'll see your chilly butts at elimination."
"Great going!" JFK said to Kiryu. "If you wouldn't have punched me off, we could've won."
"
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
"Do I feel bad for sticking to my morals and sticking it to that punk?" Kiryu said, looking at the camera with a small hint of remorse. "No. Do I feel a little bit to blame for us losing? Yes."
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
"Now that we have the hypothesis and the cause out of the way, it's time to let the research reach its effect." Coyle said coyly. "Now, let's hope that only the smart remain."
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
"Feels nice to help these guys win." Miu said. "My genius triumphs over their limp dick sized brains. At least that Rick guy acknowledged my talent."
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
After this, all the team's were finally back on the plane. While the Hungry Wolves headed for first class and the Dark Fun Gang were chilling in economy, the Amazing Aces gathered together in the dining room. A lot of dirty looks were shot JFK's way.
Why the hell are you all staring at me?!" JFK snapped. "He punched me off the snowmobile!"
"And what exactly did you contribute?" Meggy asked, arms cross.
"Look, I accept responsibility." Kiryu said.
"Bullshit." Harley told him. "We actually came close to winning because of you."
"And what about you?" 18 asked, looking at JFK. "All you've done is hit on us women. This is a competition, not a dating game!"
"Guess it's decided, then." Edward mumbled. The alchemist got up and left the room, letting the chips fall where they may. Besides, he had some reading he needed to catch up on with that book.
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
"I just know that woman had something to do with it." Cinder said, thinking of Coyle. "After the challenge in Egypt, I had a feeling she was bad news. But whether my hunch is right, I won't let her get in my way."
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
(Later….)
The Amazing Aces were all sitting the elimination room, having already cast their votes. Chris came in with nine bags of peanuts.
"Alright, Aces." Chris said. "The votes are in, and I must say they're not really that surprising. I only have nine bags, but only ten of you. After this, one of you is taking the plunge, so listen for your name."
The host began calling names out and tossing bags.
"18"
"Edward"
"Harley"
"Tari"
"Charlie"
"Meggy"
"Cinder"
"And Coyle"
Coyle caught her bag, leaving Kiryu and JFK. Kiryu looked calm while JFK glared at the yakuza.
"And with that, we have two newbies in the bottom two." Chris said. "JFK, you're a womanizing himbo who has contributed little to his team. Kiryu, you're tough, you're cool, and you have proven you have the makings of a strong competitor."
"Lets see who gets that second chance. The final bag goes to….."
…
…
…
…
…
…
…
…
…
…
"...Kiryu."
Kiryu caught his bag while JFK stood up in protest.
"Are, uh, you kidding me?!" JFK yelled, eith Chris tossing him a parachute pack. "You all just lost your best teammate!"
Not wanting to deal with him a second longer, Kiryu picks JFK up and tosses him out the plane. The last thing that could be heard was his scream fading out.
"AAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHH-ER-UH-AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!"
The Aces shuffle back to economy, but not Kiryu. He heads over to the cargo hold.
"Hey, where are you going?" Tari asked.
"Just gonna go get some alone time after today." He replied as he kept walking.
Upon entering the room, he saw someone else in the room. That someone was Glass Joe.
"Glad to see you're still here." Joe told him.
"It was no surprise." Kiryu casually replied as he was rolling up his sleeves. But he had bigger fish to fry right now. Raising his fists, he said, "Alright, let the training begin."
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
Sorry for the longer than normal wait on this. Work has been keeping me more busy than usual. It's not easy to make this, you know. I can't just cook up a chapter in just a few hours. But it's nice to kick back and ease the stress by typing. This year is almost over, and it'll be nice to end it with some holiday cheer. So I'd like to wish you all happy holidays.
But what an episode. As funny as JFK can be, I didn't have a lot oflong term plans for him. Im sorry to all his fans. It was hard to pick out which of the newbies would be the first one out. They all have something special about each of them. Now, we have a good friendship forming between Joe and Kiryu. And even Rick and Miu are impressed by one another. And poor Reg yet again, although it helped them win. Coyle used her vile mind to eliminate a "lesser minded individual". And DIO struck an illegal deal with Starscream.
I think that covers what I planned to sayb so here's a preview for next episode. The teams are heading to New York City. At the Majestic Theater, they will each have to perform a Broadway musical number. DIO tries to strike up a deal with another newbie, we discover more about the logbook's contents, Deadpool and Miu will still be Deadpool and Miu, and we get to see some vocal and musical talent these guys have. Or they might fail miserably. Who knows? :P
So stay tuned for all of that. I hope you all have a happy holidays, and stay safe, you guys. Until next time, this is MemeKing, signing off.
