Episode 9: Bittersweet
Hello, everyone. Here we are again with what might be my favorite chapter. I'm glad most of you were understanding why I had to give Remix the axe. But it seems like you guys love the updated cast. I'm sorry it took so long, but tbis is a much bigger chapter than normal.
1602jaw: Yeah, I figure Harley would know something about what Toko has, considering her background as a psychiatrist. Max had BETTER run for his life, because an angry author is more dangerous than a loaded gun. Glad you like Zach, as this isn't the last we've seen of him.
TheHiddenAuthor5000: Yes, we will go see the SCP Foundation soon.
MasterSaixus: Starscream better watch out, because another angry author is running about. I'm at least glad you're happy that Max is gone and Toko is in.
N8han11: Trust me, Toko won't be a super short run of a character. I did originally plan for Max to at least go the merge, but I struggled coming up with what he'd do at that point. He was just destined to be a minor antagonist, I guess.
Guest: Despite her status as a killer, Genocide Jack is more of comedic character.
That guy: It's nice to know you like Zach. Yep, surely things are sure to get interesting. Especially in this episode.
Guest: Huh. That's an interesting challenge idea.
ThelastCyberKnight: Well, technically Reg and Edgeworth did most of the work, but let's not rule out the great Wah's efforts. Jack was really underestimated, but she kicked butt. Yeah, Wendy had a good run, Max, too.
TheMasterKat: Revenge can be a sweet thing sometimes. Who needs to wait for karma when you can inflict it yourself.
NondescriptNorbert: Don't worry. You'll see there's more to Toko than meets the eye. I will say, having multiple antagonists around makes things more fun and unpredictable.
Happiness studios: Sometimes, it's best not to overthink things. (I know that well). Same applies for what characters show up. I'd say just enjoy what happens at your own pace.
Now then, let's have an adventure so sweet, it could kill.

"Last time on Total Drama Infinite 2, our competitors thought that they'd have the time of their life with a day off in the bustling city of London. Too bad the group was being hunted one by one by the notorious Genocide Jack. During this, Edward was giving some reassuring advice about the mysterious Gjira from Rick. But Wendy put a little worry back into him when she told him she saw him. At DIO's behest, Cinder formed an alliance with Coyle, with the scientist knowing full well what's going on. Thanks to Reg and Edgeworth, Jack was captured, with the surprise that Jack is also Toko Fukawa. As a reward for winning, Toko is added to the Wolves' team. During the hunt, Starscream kidnapped Carla to mess with Wendy, and it was goodbye to our little mage. And Max, too, since he had enough of the show after Jack darn near scared him to death. With a new player now fighting for the million, what kind of crazy shenanigans will our cast get into on today's interdimensional challenge? Find out today on this action packed episode of Total Drama Infinite!"
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
(On a distant planet…)
Destruction.
Pure and utter chaos.
That's all that could be seen for miles as the people of that planet ran for their lives.
(The planet looked kind of futuristic, with many buildings and flying vehicles, but with a landscape like that of Mars. Red and rocky. The people looked very much like humans)
All around, we see nukes falling from the sky, collapsing buildings, and the ground erupting with explosions. Above the clouds and millions of dead bodies, a massive airship in the shape of a dragon soared as it unleashed hell on everyone.
On the ground below, three individuals could be seen strolling across the landscape as they struck down anyone that got in their way. The three children that went by the title of "Disasters". The three Horsemen, King, Sura, and Kogus.
"Sururururururu!" Sura laughed. She stomped on the innocent with her heels. "My oh my, this can get so boring at times!"
"Ukikikikiki!" Kogus laughed as he punched and flailed his arms around to attack. "But sometimes it's fun to stick it to these weak punks."
"But you two fail to see the point." King deadpanned as he struck a warrior down with his electrically charged katana. "You're not supposed to enjoy a job. Otherwise it wouldn't be a job. We do this for master Gjira. We are his tools. No more, no less."
Suddenly, the three were stopped by a group of warriors with their weapons aimed at them.
"Your group has taken to many lives across the Universe!" One of them said. "Your group is too much of a threat to be left alive!"
"Ooh, looky looky!" Sura said excitedly, pointing up to the sky.
"Hey! We're talking to you!"
King smirks. "You all may want to back up. It's master's turn to fight."
Everyone looks up and sees something dropping from the airship at high speed.
No, someone.
The three Disasters back up, while that giant someone crashes into the ground, creating a huge crater.
"What the hell?!" One of the warriors cried.
"It's him!" Another one gasped.
Out from the crater came a giant hand, trying to prop himself up. Rising up from the crater appeared to be a massive man that towered over all of them. The familiar, brutish, and monstrous Gjira.
"Are you okay, master?" Sura asked.
Gjira just sighed. "Being invincible sure is boring sometimes. That was an 80,000 foot drop, and not even a scratch."
"Take the monster down!" One of the warriors yelled.
"Get your butts back to the ship, my children." Gjira grunted to his three commanders. The trio nods knowingly and retreats, leaving everyone else to Gjira's mercy.
"Kill him!"
And so, they unleash a barrage of attacks on Gjira. Spears, swords, bullets, cannonballs, missiles, and many more types of weaponry hit the tyrant. Unfortunately, all of the weapons either break on contact with his body, or leave no mark on him. He is not being damaged whatsoever as they unleash everything they have on him.
Once they run out of ammo, the warriors are all backing away in fear.
"So the rumors are true! He is an invincible beast!" One of them sputtered.
Gjira gives another depressed sigh. He then cracks his neck and shoulders to limber up. "You want to see a beast? I'll show you."
Suddenly, Gjira begins to transform in front of their very eyes. He grew fangs and claws, his eyes took on a yellowish, almost reptile-like hue, and his skin took a dark and scaly complexion. While still silhouetted, you could see his size increased dramatically, and blotted out the sky.
The men began to run away, but Gjira opened his mouth, and it began to glow, like he's charging up something. And Gjira, with a mighty boom of his voice called out….
"ATOMIC BLAST!"
With that, a massive hyper beam of utter destruction fires from Gjira's mouth, obliterating the men, and their entire planet, leaving not even the dust left. In short, he was a firin' his lazer, and completely vaporized the entire planet.
"Guess they were just all talk." Gjira said depressingly as he floated there in the vacuum of space. "Still not a challenge for me.
It was on that day that another planet, and billions of innocent individuals perished at the hands of Gjira the Renegade. The invincible monster whose origin is shrouded in mystery. But he is regarded as truly unkillable, and has ruined many universes. They say whether it's one on one, or one on a billion, Gjira always wins. His power, connections, and...monstrous abilities, he is the most dangerous mortal beast reality has ever witnessed.
(30 minutes later…..)
Gjira was now back in his ship, sitting on his throne as the ship sailed through space. Gjira was busy chugging down jugs of liquor to ease his sorrow, while his three commanders stood in front of him, waiting for what he had to see. Many of his foot soldiers were walking around the room, minding their own business to try and not incur Gjira's wrath.
"Damn it….." Gjira muttered. "I still can't find the challenge I seek. The biggest war in all of reality for me to die gloriously in."
He stood up, and grabbed his kanabo club, and in a fit of rage, swung it at some unnamed subordinates, sending them flying out the ship, and deep into space, never to be seen again.
"THAT STUPID CHERIENG WAS THE ONLY ONE TO TRULY GIVE ME A CHALLENGE!"
He remembered that day from long ago. Encountering some interesting individuals, learned of a certain stone, and was struck down by a red bolt of lightning. The huge scar on his back remained to this day.
"I understand you view your overpoweredness as an annoyance." King said.
"You're right." Gjira said, having finally calmed down. "No matter what I do, I steamroll through every threat I conquer. Nobody even manages to damage me whatsoever. I wanted to see what the future held for me, since I knew me and the others would all fall eventually. But now, I know of only one being that can grant me my war, and my death."
"And now that Elric brat might know of it." Sura added. "Him and the old man. If they were to really find out, they may try to get in the way."
"Exactly." Gjira said. The invincible tyrant then went back to drinking. "That's why I think now is the time. I got a job for some of you."
"Which is?"
"I know where they're heading next. To Totto Land, where that fat bitch Linlin is. Her most powerful child was a competitor on Total Drama. Sura, I want you to take your little brother with you to Totto Land, and promptly eliminate that boy and his friends."
"WHAT?!" Sura and Kogus exclaimed at the same time.
"I don't wanna work with a muscle headed dummy like him!" Sura yelled.
"And I'm not working with a snobby spoiled brat like her!" Kogus yelled.
"ENOUGH!" Gjira yelled. He slammed his club on the ground to shut the bickering siblings up. And trust me, it got the point across.
"You two will go to Totto Land, and discreetly get rid of them! End of discussion!"
"Sigh. Yes, master Gjira." They said defeatedly.
"Good, my children. Alright, here's exactly what you're going to do….."
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
Things had surely been….. awkward, the past few days. Most of that stemmed from the newest member of the already weird enough Hungry Wolves, Toko.
"Alright, you guys." Aqua said to Terry, Deadpool, Susie, and Waluigi. Three sat alone in first class while the others were busy doing their own things. Miu was performing maintenance on Reg, and Edgeworth was catching up on an episode of his favorite show, the Steel Samurai. Toko was nowhere to be seen.
"Our goal is to make Toko feel comfortable and welcome in our team." Aqua continued.
"Ooookay, I'll bite." Susie said. "She looks like a complete weirdo and a loner. So why are we trying to be welcoming to her?"
"Waluigi agrees." Waluigi said. "Plus, she looks like she doesn't even want to be here. So what kind of strategy are we employing?"
"Oh, it's nothing strategic." Aqua answered. "This is only to get on that freaky girl's good side. If she turns into that killer again, we don't wanna end up with our throats slit in our sleep."
"So what do you suppose we do?" Deadpool asked. "Personally, I have no problem with her. Having a killer with us just makes this team even cooler."
"Well, I'm not gonna be doing it." Aqua answered. "I already put a lot of work into thinking this plan out. You guys gotta do it. Plus, I'm not going near here. She smells like she's never showered."
"Oh, come on, you lazy ass!" Susie yelled. "You really are an idiot!"
"Don't call me an idiot, you purple prick!"
"Hey!" Waluigi cried.
"Not you! I meant her!"
"Calm down, guys." Terry said, ending the arguing. "Aqua does have a point. We should make Toko feel welcome. Not just to get on her good side, but because it's the right thing to do. We don't want her to feel left out and outcasted."
"You're only agreeing with her 'cause you're tapping that goddess ass!" Miu yelled from across the room!"
Terry shakes his head. "Man, she's got good hearing. And that's not why! Look, the bottom line is this. "Lets not avoid Toko like she's the plague. Let's treat her like we would the rest of us."
As soon as he said this, Toko quietly walked back into the room, and her team was quick to be nice to her.
"Welcome back, Toko." Deadpool said, surprising her by giving her a pat on the back. "Can I get you a drink? Or something to eat?"
"Huh?!" Toko cried. "I-uh-what?!"
"Laying it on too thick, Wade." Terry whispered.
"Oh, gotcha. Anyway, how are you doing today, Toko?"
"Yeah, how's it hanging in the neighborhood, chump?" Susie asked. "Liking first class?"
"W-why would you care?" Toko said callously. "Why try to b-be all b-buddy buddy with me? If you're just doing this because you're all afraid o-of Genocide Jack, then don't bother. She's not going to hurt anyone! So don't try to treat me any differently!"
Toko turned around and stormed out of the room.
"I was just trying to be nice….." Terry said. "I guess she's got quite the chip on her shoulder."
"Oh my god, you know what I think?" Miu said sarcastically. "Uh-DUUUUUUUUUHHHH" When Miu said this, her face contorted to look like a donkey, and the sound of a donkey could be heard from out of nowhere.
"Eh, we tried." Aqua said. "That girl is a real piece of work, alright. First chance we get, let's just get rid of her."
"But she's definitely got some skills when that other side of her shows." Reg said. "I see no problem with keeping her around."
"You do have a point." Edgeworth said. "Though she seems moody, Genocide Jack could be a powerful ally in theory. I can understand Terry's heart was in the right place, but from the look of it, it seems she's not as trusting as much as some of us aren't with her."
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
"Man….." Terry groaned. "I only want what's best for us. Guess I didn't do good enough."
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
"Of course they'd try to act like they're walking on eggshells around me." Toko said bitterly. "They don't care. Nobody does. I'm only doing this for Togami. I don't need to be friends with them. I only have a friend in Komaru. Doesn't that count for something?"
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
As Toko was leaving the confessional, she felt someone grab a hold of her and drag her away. When she could finally make heads and tails of what was going on, she noticed she was in the cargo room. In front of her, stood DIO, eyeing the writer with fascination. In his hand, he was reading a book. Upon further inspection, Toko noticed that the book he was reading was "So Lingers the Ocean"
One of the most famous novels Toko had ever written.
"T-that's my novel!" Toko stuttered.
"Sorry for the sudden surprise, Ms. Fukawa." DIO said charmingly, closing the book. "But I just had to talk to you. This is quite the good read, is it not?"
"You're that DIO guy. W-what do you want?"
"It's not just what I want." DIO said. "Actually, what you want. You want to win for that Byakuya chap, don't you?"
Toko nodded.
"And I need someone to replace Max to help me in getting rid of those I don't like."
"No." Toko said bluntly. "I-I won't help you. I literally just met you, and I can tell you're bad news."
"But I don't want to talk to you." DIO said. "I want you to bring her out."
"Huh?"
"You heard me. Bring out Genocide Jack. I want to talk to her. With her love of chaos and death, I'm sure she'd disagree with you. So go on. Bring her out."
Toko just gave a small smile. "You want me to bring her out? Fine."
She takes out a stun gun and puts it to her head.
"Here goes nothing."
Toko pulled the trigger, and began to shake from the shocks.
"Fascinating….." DIO mused. "So she can trigger it manually."
Toko stopped shaking and raised her head. With those red eyes and long tongue being shown, it was clear that Genocide Jack was back.
"Alrighty. What do you want, you memed to death vampire?!" Jack asked with sadistic glee.
"Ahem. Yes, well…." DIO started. "I'm pretty well aware you two don't share memories, so I'm gonna ask you just like I asked the book nerd. I need a new little helper to assist me in getting rid of more of these little buggers, so that's where you come in."
"I'm gonna stop you right there, bucko!" Jack said. "We may not share memories, but we do share emotions. I'm pretty sure she wouldn't agree to work with a douchebag like you! And if that's the case, then I'm gonna have to say no!"
DIO's eye began to twitch with agitation at her answer.
"EXCUSE ME?!" DIO snapped. "Do you know who you're saying no to?! I can make your life Hell if I wanted."
But Jack wasn't putting up with DIO's threat. She grabbed DIO by his collar, and pointed one of her Genoscissors dangerously close to his neck. DIO was filled with just a little bit of fear at this girl.
"Now listen up, assface!" Jack said super seriously. "You got some balls talking to me like that. The main reason I'm even a thing was to protect my other half. We don't want your help, and we will never need your help. You try to get in my way, or mess with Toko, and you're gonna lose your head for real this time. Capiche?!"
DIO, intimidated by this cold blooded killer, nods slowly.
Jack let's go of DIO. "Good. Glad we're on the same page."
ACHOO
Jack sneezed, and just like that, she was back to Toko.
"A-anyway, goodbye." Toko said awkwardly as she walked out of the room.
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
"Those two are bloody crazy." DIO said. "Fine, then. I won't mess with you. For now…."
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
Out in the cafeteria, the six remaining members of the Dark Fun Gang sat there in silence. They were not in high spirits. Out of all three teams, they were the ones that lost the most challenges, and had the least amount when it came to numbers advantage.
Kiryu stands up, and breaks the silence by slamming his arm on the table.
"You know what?" He said. "I may not have been on this team as long as you all, but I can tell we need to seriously step up our game."
"You know that's easier said than done." Sora said.
"He does make a good point." Iida said. "Our performance has been unacceptable as of late. It was already hard enough losing Wendy, but none of us expected Max to quit. This is really putting us in a bind."
"No matter what life throws at us, we can succeed if we try to keep a positive attitude." Isabelle chimed.
"Sigh. I wish I could have endless optimism like that." Joe groaned.
"I think I may be able to help us in that regard." Kiryu said. "I can whip us up into better shape."
"Are you suggesting that an organic like you will try to lead us?" Starscream asked.
"Yes."
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
"Some scrub like him?!" Starscream scoffed. "Hah! Ain't that a laugh riot. Things are already going fine with how I've been running things. I already got a couple of my teammates eliminated. I don't want Kiryu ruining that for me."
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
"So what do you have in mind?" Starscream asked sarcastically.
"I can vouch for him." Joe said. "Kiryu is strong, level headed, and really means business."
"Look, I don't want you all to bow to me or nothing." Kiryu said. "But if we wanna pull ourselves back up, then all I ask you to do is get serious and Listen to me. All in favor?"
"I second that completely." Iida said.
"I'm up for it if we can start winning." Sora said.
"Me too." Isabelle said.
"Fine." Starscream huffed.
It was at this moment that Meggy ran into the room.
"Hey! You guys might want to check this out!"
They all get up and go to look out the windows, much like what the Aces were doing. Much like when they went to UA High, they saw a huge green portal outside.
"Well, looks like we're having another one of those interdimensional challenges." 18 said. "Any guess on what world it's gonna be?"
"Hard to tell." Rick said. "Honestly, I could care less. Could be a world where Hitler cured cancer. Or even a world where people don't age. Trust me, I've seen some crazy shit."
The plane begins to shake a little bit as they enter the portal. Everyone braces themselves as they hold onto something or someone. Once the shaking stopped, everyone looked outside yet again.
They were greeted to the sight of pink cotton candy clouds.
"Holy crap." Edward gasped. "Is that…. cotton candy?!"
But it gets better. Once they got through the clouds, they saw an entire archipelago of islands. Each one had its own unique design that gave the impression of food. One island had a motif of ice cream, another with French fries, and ones with liquor, cheese, chocolate, nuts, candy, biscuits, and many more.
But in the center stood a massive island that looked like a frosted multilayer cake. There was a forest, lake of juice, and flaming trees around the cake buildings that kind of looked like candles.
"Oh, man." Deadpool said. "Look at all those food islands." He then noticed one of the islands having a huge donut on it. "Give ya three guesses on who's world this is."
"This is gonna be a fun one, everyone!" Chris said over the intercom. "We've been specially invited to Whole Cake Island, located in the Totto Land Archipelago!"
The plane lands at the port by the coast (And yes, the lake nearby that's flowing into the ocean is a river of 100% juice). Nearby there were battleships in the shape of tarts. Ahead lied the Seducing Woods.
Everyone gets off the plane, and Chris prepares to give them the rundown on this place.
"Everything here is made out of sweets!" Aqua yelle. The goddess had a gleam in her eye, and was drooling uncontrollably at the edible landscape around them.
"I'm going into a food coma just looking at this place." Harley said.
"We get to eat all of this, don't we?" Deadpool asked.
"Calm yourselves." Chris told them. "There will be plenty of time for sweets later. But to help me out with this one, I brought one of the nation's inhabitants, who is also someone you all know."
Sure enough, someone did walk out onto the scene. Many of them smiled as they saw a sixteen foot man dressed in black leather with a scarred mouth.
"Good to see you all again."
"KATAKURI!" Several of them yelled. Some of them also went up to greet him.
"How's it been hanging, Donuts?" Deadpool asked.
"Oh, you know, the usual." Katakuri replied. "Pirating isn't an easy business."
"This guy really is huge." Toko muttered.
"And how has Charlie been, huh?" Susie asked. "You two been okay?"
"She's been fine. Ever since we both left the game, we've been doing better than ever."
"So I take it you two are getting it on if you catch my drift." Miu said, making a motion with her hands I'm not going to go into further detail about. "Bow chicka bow wow!"
"Miu!" Iida yelled. "Please refrain from saying inappropriate things like that!"
Katakuri's face suddenly goes red.
"N-no!" Katakuri quickly exclaimed. "Besides, that's none of your business!"
"Aha! So it's true, right?!"
"Shut up!"
"In case you forgot, we have a challenge to get to." Chris reminded Katakuri.
"Of course." Katakuri said as he tried to regain his composure.
He looks through the crowd, and spots Edward, who's honestly looking in a pretty chipper mood to see one of his friends. He then remembered what they discussed at
"You all right?" Edward asked, as the alchemist noticed Katakuri's gaze lingered on him.
"Y-yeah…." Katakuri said quickly. Now wasn't the time to talk about Gjira. They had a challenge to get to.
"Allow me to welcome you all to Whole Cake Island." Katakuri said. "A utopia where people of all races and species can live and harmony. This nation of islands is under the rule of the rule of the pirate emperor, Charlotte Linlin, my mother. But she's better known to the world as Big Mom, one of the four Yonko, which are the four most powerful pirates in the world."
"I'll admit, this does look like a sweet place to live." Tari said. "No pun intended."
"Yes, but this country is ruled by an iron fist by mama. One mistake, and you die. The many other islands here are also governed by me and my eighty five siblings." Katakuri continued.
"EIGHTY SIX CHILDREN IN TOTAL?!" Miu exclaimed. "Goddamn! Does your mom not know what a fucking condom is?!"
"With a family like that, she truly is a Big Mom in every sense of the word." 18 said.
"Yes." Katakuri answered, ignoring Miu's words. "She had eighty five children with forty two husbands."
"And then she kicks the baby daddies to the curb like a total gangster?" Harley asked.
"Sigh. Yes." Katakuri groaned. "We're actually going to have the challenge at Whole Cake Chateau, in Sweet City. And we're going to actually meet mama, and some of my family. But I ask you all for one favor…."
Katakuri's face turned more serious than it ever had.
"WHATEVER YOU DO, DON'T DO ANYTHING TO UPSET MAMA. IF YOU VALUE YOUR LIVES, YOU WILL ABIDE BY THIS RULE."
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
"What kind of family does Katakuri come from?" Edgeworth wondered. "I've already got a bad feeling about this.
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
Several carriages without horses roll out. What was weird was that the carriages had cartoony faces on them, like something out of a Disney movie.
"Carriage, carriage!" The carriages sang.
"WAH-T THE HECK ARE THOSE THINGS?!" Waluigi yelled.
"KILL THEM WITH FIRE!" Aqua shrieked.
"Relax." Katakuri calmly told them. "These are homies: souls that have been imbued into inanimate objects and animals. Mama creates them. You'll encounter homies of different shapes and sizes across the nation. I need you all to hop on the carriages, and I'll escort you to the castle."
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
"So it's kind of like how the Nomad's abilities work." Edward said. "Albeit, more creepy."
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
The gang goes along with this weirdness, and go to sit in the carriages, some of them sitting together. But as soon as Starscream walks over to a carriage, Katakuri stops him by putting a hand on his shoulder.
"Can I help you?" Starscream asked with disdain.
The Decepticon then grunts as he feels Katakuri tightening his grip, crushing his shoulder and causing intense pain. Starscream was also feeling even more pain since the pirate coated his hand in Armament Haki.
"I saw what you did to Wendy in London." Katakuri whispered menacingly. With every word, his grip tightened. "And let's just say I'm very displeased. Working for a scumbag like DIO? You made a big mistake. I could skewer you right now, or even reveal your plan, but I'm trying to be respectful to you all as guests. Not to mention I know your plans will fail regardless. But I've got my eye on you. You step out of line, and you're as good as dead. Now get in the goddamn carriage and don't let me catch you doing anything suspicious, or I'm going to make you disappear."
With that same hand, he shoves Starscream into the carriage.
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
"DIO never told me this Katakuri guy is a strong individual." Starscream said worriedly. "And I could tell he was holding back. What kind of family is this?"
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
"Everyone have a good time." Chris said.
"You're not going with us?" Meggy asked.
"Nope. I'm not the one judging this challenge, so I'm heading back to the plane. Masked Singer comes on in 10 minutes. Besides, these "homies" kind of give me the creeps. Katakuri, I leave the rest to you."
Katakuri walks in front of everyone as the carriages drive behind him. They walk through the Seducing Woods. As they move through the woods, the group "oohs" and "ahhs" as they see more homies. Trees, flowers, clouds, and many other objects like furniture, buildings, animals, and many other colorful and wacky creations move and dance around.
"This is some Disney and Willy Wonka shit." Rick said, not really impressed. "If I wanted to see stuff like this, I'd take some LSD."
Music fills the woods, as the homies prepare to sing a song, welcoming their guests.
(And yes, this is gonna be the song for the episode. The song starts off like the one that kicked off the Whole Cake Island arc, introducing Big Mom. So basically, for those who don't know, this song is like a fucked up Disney musical number. The name of the song still "Bloody Party" like in the anime, but different lyrics)
Welcome one and all, to the great utopia
It's our pleasure!
Flower! Flower! Flower! Flower!
The day has finally come, for the ultimate challenge
A sweet treasure!
Furniture! Furniture! Furniture! Furniture!
Prepare for sweet and bitter times! In heaven and also hell!
Heaven and Hell!
Heaven and Hell!
Are you having fun? Okay!
Don't step outta line! Hooray!
Or you will die a glorious and mutilating, gory, R-rated, apocalyptic, bloody deaaaaaaaaaaaaath!"
(By this point, everyone except Katakuri was a little disturbed by the lyrics)
Have fun!
Be free!
Be you!
Call it the tea party from Hell!
This place can be your own dreams! Or your ball and chain!
If you're invited, show up! Or else we'll sacrifice you!
This is a dream land for everyone! For all of the races to laugh and have fun!
Iiiiiiiiiiiiiittttttttssss…..
TOTTO LAND!
The song finishes as they begin to enter Sweet City. The song was…..something.
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
"What the Hell?!" Edward yelled. "Is it me, or did that song definitely have some dark undertones to it? You can't mask it with colorful singing and dancing that looks like something you'd find in Beauty and the Beast!"
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
Finally, we get a look at Sweet City.
Its structures and buildings are made of edible substances, such as candy, chocolate or biscuits , with some of the buildings being living. Some of them also bear "BM" engraved on them.A juice river, seemingly connected to the sea runs through the town. Sweet City is seemingly surrounded by living hills, and a pathway links the Whole Cake Chateau to Lake Aprico. The citizens of the city appear to be quite diversified, as in all Totto Land. We see humans, fishmen, dwarves, Minks, merfolk, and many others could be seen going about their business.
That is, until they saw Katakuri and the others.
The townspeople began to boo at Katakuri, call him names, and throw garbage at him.
"YOU UGLY FREAK!"
"PELICAN EEL!"
"I'M GETTING CANCER JUST LOOKING AT YOU!"
"KILL YOURSELF, PELICAN EEL!"
"PUT THAT UGLY FACE AWAY! THERE'S CHILDREN AROUND!"
Katakuri's friends were shocked to see Katakuri, a powerful and honorable man, being treated like dog shit by his kingdom's people.
"Peace was never an option." Deadpool said darkly as he takes out one of his guns and cocks it, ready to shoot these haters. "I guess this is the day bitches die."
"Don't even think about it." Edgeworth said sternly.
"Look at these peons." Coyle said. "Why don't you just obliterate them for insulting you? It's what I'd do."
"He's being the better man." Kiryu said. "He's not sinking to their level. He's picking and choosing his battles."
"Exactly." Katakuri said. "After everything I've been through, I've come to terms with who I am, and embrace it. No matter what they say. As long as they don't mess with my siblings, I won't harm them."
"Where do all of these homies come from?" Susie asked. "They're freaking weird."
"It's due to mama's powers."
"Did she eat a devil fruit like you did?" Edward asked.
Katakuri nods. "Yes. She ate the Soul Soul Fruit. It allows her to freely manipulate souls and lifespan. She takes years out of people and sprinkles it all over Totto Land. She can take seconds or even decades or centuries."
"Okay, that's overpowered as hell." Deadpool pointed out. "That's basically a one hit kill."
"Every six months, people pay a part of their lifespan to stay here. Every time, they give one month of their life, and that's used to create homies."
"That's Disney evil." Harley said. "Yeah, I went there."
Finally, they arrive at the giant doors that lead into Whole Cake Chateau. The massive building looked like a frosted four layer cake, with flaming trees surrounding it.
"Door door door door!" The door homie sang.
"We're here. You can all hop out now."
Everyone gets out of the carriages and stay behind Katakuri as he grants them access to enter.
"OPEN!"
The door slowly opens, and Katakuri leads them into the fortress.
"When the fuck are we gonna get to the challenge?!" Miu asked. "This is taking forever!"
"Quiet!" Katakuri yelled. "I want you all to be on your best behavior in mama's presence. I only say that for your safety."
Finally, they all enter the throne room. Inside, they see a round, obese old woman with a chin hidden by her torso. She has an enormous physique, standing just shy of 29 feet tall. She has moderately round, orange eyes, prominent eyelashes, and wears thick purple eyeshadow. She has a very wide mouth with full lips sporting red lipstick, and large, round teeth. She also has long, curly, and wild pink hair that falls halfway down her back, as well as a long beak-like nose, and plump, round cheeks. She also sports a tattoo on her left shoulder and arm, consisting of a large, standard-shaped red heart framed by thin lines curled at their bottom ends, which all tops a far smaller heart. On her head, she wore a traditional bicorne hat with a face on it.
At her sides, there was a miniature cloud and sun with happy faces.
Next to her, sat a massive pile of sweets, pastries, candies, cookies, and other sweet delectables. The queen was stuffing her face with sweets by the massive handful, not taking notice of her son or his friends. Like mother, like son, I guess.
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
"A wild Snorlax appears…." Deadpool said. "Damn, she thicc!"
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
"It's fatty fatty 2x4, can't fit through the kitchen door." Coyle sang. "What a gluttonous beast. Ugh."
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
"Jesus! She really is a big mom." Terry said. "Katakuri wasn't lying."
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
Katakuri got on one knee and bowed his head. "Mama, I have returned. And I brought our special guests with me."
The pirate empress stopped stuffing her fat face, and took notice. Big Mom then gives a hearty laugh.
"HAHAHAHAHA! MAMAMAMAMA! So, you're my ugly child's little friends, eh? I must say, I like the show. Especially the parts...where people get hurt."
At this mention, Big Mom's face darkens, but then returns to a more cheery demeanor.
"And I must say, you've got quite a few unique people here. Other than sweets, Big Mom had a fondness for collecting rare creatures and other weird species. As she said this, she eyed more of the non human competitors. "If you weren't visiting, I'd keep some of you trapped in my prison library."
"This is quite an interesting kingdom you have, here, ma'am." Kiryu said. "You've really raised a great son."
"Of course!" Big Mom beamed. "If it weren't for the fact he looks like an ugly train wreck, he'd be perfect. Your children tend to listen more if the thought of death hangs over their heads."
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
"That's parent of the year, everybody." Rick said sarcastically. "I know I'm a shitty father, but this bitch literally threatens her entire family with murder. Can't we just go back to the good ol' days when the bastard child got the belt?"
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
"Mama!" A voice echoed through the chambers.
A new person entered the scene. Or in This case, bounced. This time, we meet a young girl with dark hair in a very long ponytail that curls up at the end. Her ponytail is held up with a flower-shaped hair tie. She wears a dark red shirt with a frilly high collar and frilly long sleeves. She also wears dark red tights and light-colored loafers. Over her clothes, she wears a polka-dotted outfit which balloons out like a jelly bean and allows her to bounce around. She was also busy chewing on a piece of gum.
The young girl was also followed by a posse of cronies.
It was another child of the Charlotte family, Charlotte Flampe. (And someone MemeKing wants to desperately beat with a bat)
"Oh, Flampe." Big Mom said. "Come say hello to our guests."
Flampe immediately looked to Katakuri and gave her older brother a look of disgust.
"Ugh!" Flampe said with disgust. "They're your friends? Didn't think you'd had any, considering you're the ugliest thing to ever walk the face of the earth. I honestly wish bad things upon you and them."
The competitors were appalled by everything that was going on. Not only was Big Mom distracting her own son, but now one of his little sisters was insulting him and them.
"You better watch what you say, brat!" Susie growled. "You got a lot of nerve talking to us like that!"
"Yeah! Who do you think you are?!" Aqua added.
"I'm the most favorite little sister in this entire family!" Flampe said proudly. "And therefore, better than my lame brother's friends. Can you believe it? I used to look up to this guy, and once I found out he isn't perfect, I hate his guts. I'm ashamed to be related to him."
"T-that's your family." Toko said in disbelief. "You should treat him with more respect."
Flampe simply replies by spitting her gum into Toko's hair.
"Hey!"
All of Flampe's lackeys began to laugh at Toko's plight.
"Shut your mouth, you low class worm!" Flampe said, belittling Toko. "God, you looked like such an easy target to mess with. Of course Katakuri's friends would be a group of weirdos and losers."
"Hey! I take being a weirdo proudly!" Deadpool said.
"Leave them alone!" Katakuri said menacingly to Flampe. "Leave, now! We are busy with a challenge!"
"Whatever!" Flampe huffed, and she bounced away, her cronies following suit.
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
"Oh, if I encountered that little shit in the real world, I would do terrible things to her that would get me the death penalty." Genocide Jack said. "Kyeehahahaha!"
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
"Now let's get to this fun little challenge, shall we?" Big Mom said. "Don't worry, it'll be a simple one: a cooking challenge."
"That's it?!" Miu scoffed. "This is gonna be fucking easy!"
"Each team will make a deliciously scrumptious dessert for me to taste." Big Mom said, licking her lips. "And the one with the tastiest treat will win. HAHAHAHAHA MAMAMAMA!"
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
"A cooking challenge. Finally!" Aqua said. "After some of the crazy and exhausting challenges we've had. I mean, what could possibly go wrong?"
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
"Now that you all know what you've gotta do, I will take you to our kitchen." Katakuri said. "You will all have everything you need. Mama, I'll be escorting them there, now. Your desserts will be ready soon."
"Excellent work, Katakuri." Big Mom said. The massive Yonko then turned to look at the competitors.
"I do look forward to what you guys create. But if I don't get the treats I want…." Suddenly, Big Mom's face twisted into a malicious grin that sent shivers through everyone. "THEN GET READY TO SEE HELL."
Katakuri then quickly leads them out of there and on their way to the kitchen.
"Well, your mom is…. something." Deadpool said.
"She must seriously be craving some sweets." Terry said. "Is it really that if she doesn't get them?"
"It is." Katakuri answered. "Otherwise, things will be disastrous for all of us. That's why I seriously hope none of you mess this up. Honestly, I told Chris that bringing you all here was a bad idea."
"Can she really be that strong, Mr. Katakuri?" Reg asked.
"Yeah, she seems like just a fat old woman who creates creepy living objects." Cinder remarked.
"Lets just say if you all were to fight her, none of you would stand a chance. Not even me."
Finally, they go through another huge door, and reach the kitchen. All around, you could see huge piles of food, even bigger ovens, stoves, fridges, and many cooking appliances you'd need. None of the chefs were there, but a few of Katakuri's other siblings were in there waiting for him.
"Holy shit, this is huge!" Miu exclaimed. "And yes, that is what she said."
Katakuri rolls his eyes, but continues the exposition. "Everything you all will need is here. No outsiders are allowed in the castle, much less here, so you won't be disturbed. Only our family has access."
"Are these the guests, onii-chan?" A voice said.
A few other siblings of the Charlotte family walked over to meet the others. One of them was a tall woman that was thin and hunched, with purple hair and gray skin, looking like a witch.
Then there was a tall man with an abnormally long tongue sticking out. He wore a long yellow coat, top hat decorated with lollipops, a lollipop staff, and an arm that appeared to be made out of hard candy.
Then there was a guy with purple hair tied into three buns on his head, where the tips sparked like firecrackers. He wore armor around him decorated in biscuits, and had a sword by his side. He had a huge grin on his face, made even more disturbing with the scar over his eye.
The last one was a statuesque woman with long wither hair, and even longer legs. She wore a pink striped leotard, dark boots, a scarf, a floppy hat, and a tattoo of a rose on her thigh.
"Yes, they are, Brulee." Katakuri answered. "These are some of my other siblings."
He gestures over to the one that looked like a witch. "This is my younger sister, Brulee."
"Glad to see Katakuri onii-chan has made himself some friends." Brulee said.
He then pointed to the candy man. "This is the oldest child, Perospero."
"Good to meet you, my little candies. Lick." Perospero said, weirding everyone when he licked his staff.
Next, Katakuri gestured to the one with the biscuits.
"This is my younger brother, Cracker."
"You guys sure do look tough." Cracker said sadistically as he eyed the guests. "You better make sure to give it your all on your fancy little reality show."
"Lastly, we have Smoothie." Katakuri said as he gestured to the long legged woman.
"I just hope none of you mess this up." Smoothie said coldly.
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
"Man, this family is such a colorful cast." Susie said. "Despite them being a family of pirates viewed as villains by the world, they seem pretty chill."
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
"Who names most of their children after food?!" Edward wondered.
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
"You know what?" Deadpool said. "You guys are alright."
"I like this guy's enthusiasm." Cracker said. "Big bro, you really met some interesting people on that show."
"Not only that, Katakuri really proved himself to be a great competitor." Edward said. "And he's a good friend and reliable guy."
"I just do what I have to do." Katakuri said. "We'll be leaving you all to get started on the challenge. I'll be back in a few hours, and I expect you all to be finished by then. Because nothing will stop mama if she doesn't get the sweets she craves."
Katakuri and his other siblings leave the room after this. The room is so big that each team has enough room to work in peace from the other teams. Each team splits up and starts discussing what they should do.
"Alright, you guys." Kiryu said, cracking his knuckles. "Got any ideas on what we should make? Because I'm drawing a blank."
"Does it matter?" Starscream said. "Judging by that woman's huge girth, I feel she'll eat anything. Even people."
"I highly doubt that she eats people." Iida said.
(Weeeeeeeeellllllll…..about that…..)
The Dark Fun Gang begin scratching their brains to think of something sweet to make for Big Mom.
"How about… ice cream?" Sora suggested.
"Hey, that's not a bad idea." Joe said.
"Ice cream would be perfect." Isabelle said.
"Glad to see we can come to an agreement so quickly." Kiryu said. "That's a good sign. Now, I need you guys to gather the ingredients, and do exactly as I say if we want to pull this off."
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
"Everything should be fine." Kiryu said. "Hopefully."
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
"This'll be too easy." Edward said. "This is just like that cooking challenge we had last season."
"It upside is that DIO isn't here to be a total taskmaster about it." 18 remarked.
"I think we should make something that we would enjoy." Edward said. "That's why I think apple pie would be the perfect dessert. It's simple, yet effective."
"You honestly think you can manage baking?" Coyle said. "If I remember correctly, alchemy is much more your expertise."
"Cooking and alchemy are pretty similar when you think about it. You take the materials you have, and create some new and amazing things with it."
"Wow, put that shit on a motivational poster." Rick said sarcastically.
"Would it be fine if I sit this out?" Meggy asked. "I'm… far from the best cook."
"What do you mean?" Edward asked.
"All I really know how to make is a cup of ramen noodles. Any other time I've tried to make something, it turned out… disastrous." As Meggy said this, she had flashbacks of her terrible cooking. Sometimes, it'd even come to life and attack people.
"I'm sure we can find something for you to do." Edward reassured. "How about you just go get us the ingredients we need from the pantry. Are you fine with that?"
Meggy nods. "Sure thing."
Nearby, they could hear the Wolves (With the exception of Edgeworth and Toko) chanting "CHOCOLATE CAKE! CHOCOLATE CAKE! CHOCOLATE CAKE!" Deadpool was seen pouring a huge bag of cocoa into a bowl. Edgeworth just shook his head while Toko stood there, astounded by how rowdy this group is."
"Well, those guys are simple as hell." Harley sighed. "That's gonna be their mistake."
"Well, we can't worry about them, now." Tari said. "We've got some baking to do."
"Tari's right, you guys." Edward said as he put on an apron. "Let's do this!"
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
Flampe could be seen floating through the streets of Sweet City, looking very pissed.
"Hmph!" She said to herself. "Why is that letdown of a brother so happy?! He's got a girlfriend, friends, and people actually like him! He doesn't deserve any of it! I wish I could really stick it to him! Let a freak like him know despair!"
"Ukikikikiki! Is that so?" A voice said.
Flampe literally jumped in place and quickly looked around. In an alleyway, she noticed a big hulking guy in a leather jacket with slicked down hair and a woman in a leotard with white skin, compound eyes, and antennae looking at her.
"Yeah, we're talking to you, girl!" Kogus said.
"Who are you guys?" Flampe asked suspiciously. "And what do you want? I can tell you guys aren't from here. We don't have people like you in Totto Land."
Sura strutted over to Flampe. "Well, we couldn't help but overhear your little rant." She said. "And we don't like any of them either."
Flampe was surprised at this. "Hold up! You know them?!"
"We...do. And we've been wanting to stick it to them too. For our great and powerful master."
"So we come to you for a proposition." Kogus said.
"A proposition, huh? I'm listening…"
"It's nothing too difficult. You get us access inside the castle, and we'll take care of the rest. By the end, if it all works out, all of Katakuri's friends will be dead. He'll be completely devastated. There's no way the great Charlotte "Dogtooth" Katakuri, could bounce back from this."
Truth be told, the thought of Katakuri becoming a depressed wreck after his friends die excited Flampe. Hell, last season she rooted for DIO just so he could crush the brother she hated so much.
"It's a deal. And don't worry, I can get you inside since I'm a child of the Charlotte family."
"Glad we could come to an understanding." Sura happily exclaimed.
Flampe's face darkens into an evil smile. "Let's make them suffer."
(Katakuri's room…..)
Katakuri sat in his room while everyone was busy cooking. He couldn't help but feel uneasy. He still worried about Edward ever since he dug up info on Gjira. Not to mention he had a bad feeling that something bad would happen today. He just knew it.
The pirate sat there, talking on the transponder snail to Charlie to put him at ease.
"You're worrying too much." Charlie told him over the phone. "I mean, Ed seems like he's doing okay."
"You may be right." Katakuri said, "But-"
"But nothing. I know you're the kind of guy who worries about others, but it'll be fine. Try to relax a little bit."
"I'll try." Katakuri sighed. "Maybe this will all go off without a hitch."
"See? That's the spirit. Anyway, I'm gonna get off here. I'm trying to work on this great musical number for our next aftermath."
"Alright. Hope that goes well. I'll talk to you later. Love you. Bye."
Putting down the receiver, Katakuri sighed again.
"Boy, I hope you are right."
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
A couple of hours had passed, and by now, each team was just finishing up their desserts. Each dessert was immensely huge in size, big enough to feed a fatass like Big Mom. There was a giant bowl of Neopolitan ice cream, and a big apple pie.
But the chocolate cake was by far the biggest of all. A multilayer chocolate cake slathered in chocolate frosting and topped with chocolate whipped cream and cherries.
"Well boys, and ladies…" Deadpool said, marveling at their impressive handiwork. (Everyone was taking a look at each other's desserts) "I think we really nailed this."
"I still feel like this cake is wasted on someone like Big Mom." Susie said. "We could live off this bad boy for weeks."
Deadpool and Toko throw a huge tarp over the cake to protect it.
What do you propose we do now that we're done?" Toko asked.
"We've still got a fair bit of time." Reg said. "Maybe we could look around the castle."
"Great idea!" Deadpool said. "Besides, we're on an island made of sweets. It'd be a crime against humanity if we didn't go and enjoy what this island has to offer."
"It's nice to see you have a good idea in that hollow ass brain of yours." Miu said.
"Eh, I might just go catch up with Katakuri." Edward said. "Wanna come with, Rick?"
"I guess….." Rick said as he drank from his flask. "Don't got better shit to do."
"Guess we'll be seeing you guys at the judging." Kiryu said. "May the best team win."
"We plan to." Cinder said coldly.
"Don't get cocky when you're up against the best of the best, puny human!" Starscream threatened.
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
"Am I the only one that sees the irony in what that bucket of bolts said?" Coyle said. "Anyway, he stands no chance. I may be cocky, but I've earned it. I'm the biggest brain here. And I aim to stay that way."
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
Most of the competitors leave the kitchen, but a couple people stay back for a moment. Namely, Aqua and Terry.
"Just look at that cake!" Aqua beamed. Looking at the treat under the tarp, the goddess was drooling a waterfall. Unable to resist the temptation She grabs a small handful of the cake and eats it. The cake was so big that it would be unnoticeable.
"Probably would be a good idea to stop right there." Terry said worriedly. "We're on a candy island, so you can gorge yourself on sweets as much as you want.
"Alright." Aqua sighed with her mouth still full. Upon swallowing the piece of cake, she said, "Besides, I'll need a pair of big strong arms to help carry sweets back on the plane."
The two of them leave, leaving the kitchen bare and empty. For now…"
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
About ten minutes later, we see Flampe leading Kogus and Sura through the empty hallway.
Once they came across the door that leads into the kitchen, Flampe said "Alright. Here's the kitchen. Do what you have to do."
"Many thanks, darling." Sura said. "Your efforts will be a great aid to master Gjira."
"Can't believe you're this quick to betray your brother." Kogus said.
"Pff. He's no brother of mine. He's not perfect as I wished he was, so I want to see him feel despair when all of his little friends die at mama's hands."
"Ukikikikiki! I like this kid."
Sura quickly slapped Kogus on the back of the head.
"Keep quiet, you oaf!" She hissed. "We don't wanna get caught!"
"I'll just be leaving now." Flampe said as she quickly bounced away.
Putting on their serious faces, Kogus and Sura quietly opened the door, and to their delight, no one was in there. All that could be seen was the desserts each team made.
"Sururururururu!" Sura laughed. "This'll be easier than we thought."
They walk over to the chocolate cake and begin tearing it apart, laughing all the while. Ripping chunks and flinging it all over the room. By the time they were finished, the cake was completely destroyed.
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
Transitioning now, Edward and Rick were talking with Katakuri as they walked down a hallway.
"So how's that show you and Charlie have been hosting?" Ed asked.
"I will admit, it's quite the change of pace." Katakuri replied. "It's nice to see everyone, and the job pays pretty nicely. Glad to see you've been okay."
Rick then stops and holds his hand out in front of them.
"Wait." He said seriously. Rick quickly took his blaster out of his coat.
"I heard something."
"What is it?" Katakuri asked. "What could you hear around here that my Haki didn't pick up?"
With a quiet gesture, the scientist quickly sneaks and peeks around the corner. What he saw was Sura and Kogus quietly walking down the hallway.
"Now let's mosey on out of here." Kogus said.
"Not so fast, dipshits!" Rick yelled. The two villains see Rick aiming his blaster at them.
"Rick!" Edward yelled as he and Katakuri rounded the corner. "Who is i-"
Ed's blood nearly ran cold when he saw Sura and Kogus. He remembered their encounter with Sura in New York, and Rick explaining to him that they were Gjira's top commanders.
"Well, well, well." Sura said. "If it isn't the Elric boy."
"And Rick." Kogus growled. "Long time no see.
"Whatever, you damn dirty ape man child." Rick told him.
"It's them…" Katakuri said darkly.
"You know of them?!" Edward asked.
"Yeah. I did a bit of research on them, and I've been worried about whether they'd try anything ever since."
"But I thought I had nothing to worry about!"
"Looks like Gjira actually decided to do something this time instead of sitting on his ass getting plastered. Or better yet, send in his unofficial kids." Rick hypothesized.
"Too bad for you lot!" Sura told them. "We already completed our task from master. Let's just say if mama ain't happy, nobody will be happy!"
Katakuri's face went pale. "You didn't!"
"Oh, we did. I heard she has an eating disorder, and things will get ugly if she doesn't get the sweets she wants."
"So that's what you meant by not messing up the challenge." Edward said.
Katakuri takes his trident out of his body and strikes a fighting stance.
"But now that I know you two have invaded my territory, I cannot let you leave!"
Edward claps his hands and transmitted a spear made from the ground. "I got your back. We're gonna end this once and for all!"
"I'd like to see you try!" Kogus said.
And much like Gjira, Sura and Kogus began to transform and increase in size. Kogus morphed into a giant gorilla monster, while Sura transformed into a massive moth like creature with bright colorful wings. Their sheer size broke through the ceiling. They looked nearly identical to a couple of famous monsters you may have seen somewhere before.
"Bring it on!" Kogus roared as he pounded his chest.
"Sururururururu!" Sura laughed, which sounded more like a high pitched wail.
Rick, Katakuri, and Edward then lunge at the two monsters.
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
(Meanwhile…..)
This was it. The time had come. Most of the competitors stood in front of Big Mom on her throne.
"HAHAHAHAHA! MAMAMAMA! The time is now for those delectable sweets!" Big Mom said.
"Where's Ed?" Tari whispered to his team. "I'm worried."
"He probably got lost, I don't know!" Harley said. "Guess Rick is nowhere to be seen either."
"I'm sure they're okay." 18 said. "All we have to do is just have the best dessert. It'll be fine if they're a bit late."
"I've got a good feeling about this." Deadpool told his team. "We got this down."
"Hey, at least try to smile." Susie said to Toko. "That somber look on your face is really killing the vibe."
"Kind of hard to…." Toko mumbled. "I'm still trying to get used to you all."
"Now then!" Big Mom said, getting everyone's attention. "Let's bring out the first treat." The Yonko points at the Dark Fun Gang. "You guys will go first!"
"Very well." Kiryu said.
The team leaves the room, and returns a couple of minutes later, lugging a huge bowl of ice cream in front of her.
"We present to you our neapolitan ice cream." Isabelle said.
"Made with the finest ingredients." Iida added.
Big Mom picks up the bowl and scoops the ice cream into her mouth with her bare hand. The Dark Fun Gang are quiet as they anticipate the outcome.
"IT'S SO DELICIOUS!" Big Mom yelled. She licked the remaining ice cream off her lips as the team cheered. "THIS HAS TO BE THE BEST ICE CREAM IVE EVER TASTED!"
Big Mom then points to the Aces.
"Now, you guys are up."
The Aces leave much like the previous team and return with a giant pan of apple pie a couple minutes later. They wait anxiously as Big Mom takes the pie and drops into her mouth.
"It's really good!" She said. "So sweet, and crunchy, with a flaky crust. But I still think it can't compare to the ice cream."
"Ha!" Starscream laughed. "Eat on that, puny organics!"
"Watch what you say to me, you oversized tinker toy!" Coyle growled.
"Leave him." Cinder told the scientist. "He's not worth it."
"And then there was one." Big Mom said as she looked over to the Wolves. "Can your dish top theirs?"
"Fuck yeah it can!" Miu proclaimed. "We've made a chocolate cake that will make your taste buds go KERSPLOOSH!"
"Chocolate cake, you say?!" Big Mom asked excitedly. "Now you've really piqued my appetite on this one! I'm expecting the best chocolate cake ever!"
With a tip of his cap, Terry said, "Then we'll be right back with it, ma'am."
We see them head to the kitchen, and see (supposedly) the cake underneath the tarp. Upon uncovering it, everyone's jaws hit the floor once they see…..
...THAT THE CAKE WAS COMPLETELY GONE!
"WHAT THE FUCK HAPPENED TO THE CAKE?!" Miu yelled.
"It's all gone!" Terry said.
"This is bad….." Reg muttered as the rest of the team began to freak out.
"How did this happen?!" Terry cried. "Katakuri said things would get ugly if this happened!"
"Let's try to calm down." Edgeworth said. The prosecutor tried to be the rational one and calm them down. "Let's think this over. Nobody except us and Katakuri's family would have access to this room, much less the entire chateau."
"Aha!" Susie said. "So I bet one of the other teams sabotaged us!"
"Bet it was that bitch Coyle." Miu said.
"That is a plausible theory." Edgeworth said.
"Wait….." Toko said. She then pointed over at Aqua, while the goddess shakes nervously. "I just now noticed that you have chocolate crumbs on your face. Care to explain?"
Terry's eyes went wide at what she said. Oh crap. Guess she was so dumb she never wiped the cake off her face after she had a small piece earlier.
"I FORGOT ABOUT THE CRUMBS!" Aqua shrieked as she began to quickly eat said crumbs.
"So it was you!" Miu said. "You ate the cake, didn't you?!"
"Well, yes," Aqua said nervously, "but I didn't do this. I only had one piece."
"I find that really fuckin' hard to believe." Miu swore. "Remember back in the Amazon when you ate all our food? This is no different, so why don't you just shut the fuck up, you lying little abortion!"
"You watch what you call me, you thot!"
"That does make sense, though." Reg said. "She does have a streak of being selfish and gluttonous."
"It adds up." Edgeworth added. "We should've known."
"You're nothing but a greedy selfish jerk!" Waluigi said to Aqua. "Wah-t do you have to say for yourself?"
"I...I….." Aqua stuttered.
"Alright, people!" Terry yelled. "Put down your pitchforks!"
"Aww, but I already got the torches lighted." Deadpool pouted, already having lit torches fit for an angry mob.
"I can vouch for her." Terry said. "She never left my side, and I can say she did not do this."
"Leave it to you to take her side." Susie said accusingly. "You two are a thing, so you'd stick up for her no matter what. She'd probably murder someone and you'd feign her innocence. If you ask me, she's wasted on a guy like you."
"That's not what it is!" Terry said, beginning to raise his voice. "That is not true!"
"You straight up protect her and enable her actions every time!" Miu said. "Don't try to dig yourself into a hole you won't be able to get your asses out of! She's really fucked up now!"
"I swear on my good name she didn't do it!"
"Can't have a good name if you're defending a useless goddess who ruined it for us." Toko said accusingly.
Now Terry and Aqua found themself in deep shit. They were telling the truth, yet no one of their team believed them.
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
"What have I done?!" Terry cried.
"I know for sure Aqua didn't ruin the cake! I can't be enabling her actions! I thought I was just helping!"
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
"Don't they know a goddess can't lie?" Aqua cried. "But it doesn't matter! We're screwed."
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
"We'll deal with them later." Edgeworth said coldly. "We've been back here for too long, so everyone else is gonna know something is up."
"So wah-t do you suggest we do, huh?!" Waluigi asked. "Go back empty handed and say we don't have the cake?"
Edgeworth sighed. "We pretty much have to at this point. Let's just head back and face the music."
And so, the Wolves head back to the throne room, with a feeling of dread in all of them. (Especially Aqua and Terry).
Once they return, Big Mom looks at them and quickly notices they've returned empty handed.
"What is the meaning of this?!" Big Mom shrieked. "Where is the cake?!"
"See, here's the thing," Deadpool said sheepishly. "We actually….. don't….. have it."
There was a chill of silence in the room. You could feel the intensity of Big Mom's disappointment. But that disappointment turned into her eating disorder. If she gets fixated on a particular food and doesn't get it…..
"CAAAAAAAAAAAAKKKKKKKKKEEEEE!"
Her mind completely snaps.
The force of her anger caused the entire island to shake. Outside, a massive thunderstorm engulfed the archipelago, with bolts of lightning coming down.
"NO!" Katakuri gasped meanwhile as they tried to take on Sura and Kogus. "Not again!"
"What do you mean not again?!" Edward said as he dodged a punch from Kogus.
"Mama's gone into a hunger pang! She didn't get the food she craved, and now we're all in danger! She goes on an uncontrollable rampage, where even she doesn't know what she's doing. And nothing can stop her until she gets the food she wants."
"Sururururururu! All according to plan!" Sura said. The moth monster then shot an energy beam from her antennae at them.
Meanwhile, we transition over to the others. Big Mom now had a dark look on her eyes. Her eyes were red, and swirly like a crazy person. The competitors were frozen in fear as Big Mom screamed so loud that the island shook more violently.
"CHOCOLATE CAAAAAAAAAAAAKKKKEEEEEEE!" Big Mom yelled.
"What the hell is wrong with her?!" Harley said.
"I don't know!" Sora said. "But I don't think we should stay here long enough to find out!"
They all start to run, but Big Mom grabs the sun homie (these ones were made from fragments of her own soul). The sun then turns into an angry looking fireball.
"Prometheus!" Big Mom ordered.
"Yes, mama!" The homie replied.
Big Mom prepared to slam Prometheus into the ground and burn them all up in a fiery nuke.
"Heavenly Fire!"
But three attacks leap up and block the shot.
"Recipro Turbo!"
"Power Blitz!"
"Burn Knuckle!"
Iida, 18, and Terry had leapt up and blocked what would have been Big Mom's devastating attack.
"GIVE ME THE CAKE!" Big Mom roared..
"Sorry, but you'll just have to do without!" 18 said smugly.
"Let's make like any sane man and get the fuck out of here!" Miu said.
"What are you doing?!" Reg said.
"I'm gonna take her on!" Terry said, staring down the Yonko.
"But why?!" Aqua asked.
"It's simple. I'm doing it for you. I'm gonna fight to prove your innocence. Even if I have to put my life on the line."
"Are you crazy?!" Toko cried. "You're actually gonna fight that monster for a reason like that?"
"CAAAAAAAAKKKKKKKEEEEE!" Big Mom yelled again.
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
"Does that bitch know any other words besides cake right now?!" Miu wondered. "Anyway, Bum-gard is either really brave for fighting her, or really fucking stupid for fighting for Aqua. He's wasting his time."
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
Aqua sat there looking a bit somber. She was touched Terry was willing to take on an enemy he had no chance against. Just to prove her innocence.
"Wow….." She said to herself. "What a guy. He's risking his life…. for me. Out of everyone on that team, he's the one that never gave up on me. He's honestly the greatest mortal I've ever known."
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
(Back on the plane…..)
"What is all that shaking?!" Ginyu asked. The plane, which was at the port, was feeling the aftershocks of Big Mom's tantrum.
"Darn." Chris said. "It ruined the satellite signal.
"Do you think the contestants are okay?
"I'm sure they're fine. It's probably just a minor earthquake."
"Or maybe they're suffering right now." DIO thought to himself. He relished the thought of something bad happening to them.
(Whole Cake Chateau)
The commotion was interrupted when we see Deadpool crash through the wall with a giant white van.
"Hop in!" Deadpool said. "Let's get the hell outta here!"
"Where did you get that?!" Isabelle asked.
"I don't wanna waste thirty minutes explaining why! Just hop in, everyone!"
Not wanting to deal with Big Mom's wrath, everyone piles into the van (except Starscream, who turned into a jet).
"Wait!" Tari cried. "What about Ed and Rick?!"
"We have no time to worry about them, girl!" Coyle said. "Don't expect everyone to make it out of here alive!"
"But-"
"I'm 100% sure they're fine, Tari!" Deadpool said. The merc then revved the engine. "Everyone hang onto their sphincters!"
Deadpool hits the gas, and the van plus Starscream above crash through the castle wall to head back to the plane. This left Terry to take on an enraged Big Mom.
One on one.
"Bring it on, Yonko!" Terry said as he tightened his gloves.
"GIVE ME… CHOCOLATE CAKE!" Big Mom repeated.
"Burn Knuckle!"
Terry rushed forward, his fist coated in blue flames, ready to punch Big Mom.
Unfortunately, as soon as his fist made contact, his arm cracked and bent in a painful position.
"ARRRRRGHH!"
Terry cried out in pain as he clutched his broken arm.
"How durable is she?" He wondered. "It's like punching an iron balloon."
"Heavenly Bonbon!" Big Mom cried. Prometheus began to spit out a huge volley of fireballs. But Terry was agile enough to dodge them.
"Do you really think you can hope to defeat us?!" Zeus (The thundercloud homie) said.
"No." Terry replied. "That's why I'm willing to put my life on the line. For Aqua."
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
(Meanwhile…..)
Elsewhere in the castle, Katakuri, Rick, and Edward struggled to take on the two kaiju like monsters, despite the numbers advantage.
"Goddammit, these assholes are tough!" Rick said, sounding winded.
"You two will not escape this territory!" Katakuri said. "Ed! Are you okay?!"
Ed laid on his hands and knees, shaking nervously.
"Everyone's gonna die….. all because of me….." He said shakily.
"Don't think like that!" Katakuri said. "This is their fault!"
"Yeah, but they came here because of him." Rick pointed out.
"Now that you're all distracted, we'll be taking our leave now! Ta-ta." Sura said. The moth flew up to the sky with Kogus on her back. They were now out of their reach.
"Get back here, you bastards!" Katakuri called out, but it was too late.
"Damn. They got away." Katakuri said bitterly. "If I ever encounter them again, they will not leave the fight alive."
"Those punks rarely ever stay for a fight." Rick said. "They're just better off at being Gjira's precious lap dogs who obey him for his favoritism."
The castle shakes once more as the words "Chocolate cake" echo throughout it.
"Guess she's craving chocolate cake this time." Katakuri sighed. "She won't stop until she gets the cake."
"Alright, fine." Rick huffed. The scientist stood up and took his portal gun out. He creates a familiar green portal with it. "Stay right. There. I got an idea. I'll be back in a few."
Rick steps through the portal as it disappears. Katakuri looks over at Edward, who still looked very shaken up.
"Ed, it's okay." Katakuri said.
"NO, IT IS NOT OKAY!" Edward snapped. "All because of my curiosity and stubbornness, Gjira's goons are gonna get my friends killed! It's all my fault!"
"I sense everyone is still alive." Katakuri said. "Although one…. is on the brink of death."
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
"POWER GEYSER!"
With his good arm, Terry punched the ground so hard it erupted into pillars of explosions. But like his other attacks, it didn't do a lick of damage to Big Mom.
"GIVE. ME. CAKE." Big Mom said, still in her delusional rage.
Big Mom simply grabbed Terry, crushing his body with her hand. The Legendary Wolf was battered, bloody, crushed, and fatigued. But he was not giving up.
"I won't back down!" Terry gasped.
"I want CAKE!" Big Mom said. She then grabbed Zeus, and struck him down with an enormous lightning bolt.
"THUNDER BLAST!"
When the smoke clears, Terry is shown on the ground, smoldering from being hit with a gigaton of lightning, and coughing up blood. He weakly tries to get back up, but as he looks up at Big Mom, she glares down at him as she says three words.
"LIFE. OR. TREAT?!"
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
The van was seen recklessly driving through Sweet City. Deadpool was determined to get them back to the plane. The cast sat in the back in silence.
"I honestly hope Terry is all right." Aqua said.
"Shut your fucking mouth!" Miu swore. "It's your fault that we're in this mess!"
"Don't any of you believe me?!"
Everyone stayed silent, not wanting to answer that question.
"...Nobody?"
Aqua continued to sit there, feeling sad and sorry for herself.
But Deadpool tries to break the silence and ease the tension.
"Hey, how about I turn on the radio?"
CRAAASH!"
Everyone nearly jumped up when someone crashed through the roof of the van.
It was Terry, but he was in very bad condition. His body looked broken, bloody, and banged up. What's more, his skin was deathly pale, with his eyes completely blank.
"TERRY!" They all exclaimed.
"Is he okay?!" Meggy asked.
Edgeworth tried to find a pulse on Terry, but found nothing.
"He's…...dead." Edgeworth said shakily.
Cue everyone freaking out like never before.
"SHE KILLED HIM!" Reg said.
"HE ACTUALLY DID GET HIS SOUL RIPPED OUT!" Glass Joe cried
"WE'RE ALL NEXT!" Waluigi added.
"WE'RE ALL GONNA DIE!" Miu cried.
But Aqua was being quiet about all of this. Looking down at Terry's corpse. Tears streamed from her eyes.
"You idiot….." She said in broken chunks. "Getting yourself kiilled...f-for….me…."
Feeling more emotionally touched than ever before, Aqua takes out her staff, and casts a spell. In a flash of light, she is able to resurrect Terry, and heal his injuries in the process.
Terry's eyes flutter open as he begins to cough. He then looks around and sees he's in a van with everyone else.
"W-what happened?" Terry asked.
"Welcome back from the dead, man." Deadpool said. "You beat Jesus' world record on the resurrection speedrun."
"Wait, from the dead?! Then….. how am I alive now?!"
"Because of me."
He turned to see Aqua looking at him with a teary smile.
"You brought me back? I didn't know you could do that!"
Terry then remembered the events that happened, leading up to his death.
"Oh. I'm sorry. I tried to fight her to prove your innocence. But I failed."
"You nearly gave me a heart attack with what you did!" Aqua said, slapping Tery in the face. "But I can't hate you for that. I mean, for all you have done for me, it's the least I can do."
Terry then pulls the goddess in for a kiss. The two share this moment until Susie interrupts them.
"Don't think we're in the clear just yet. Look!"
They all look out the window and are shocked to see destruction everywhere. Lightning came down from the heavens, all of the land was on fire, and thousands of civilians were either running for their lives, or already dead.
"MAMAMAMA!" A wicked voice laughed.
"IT'S BIG MOOOOOOOOOOM!" They all yelled.
Yes. Big Mom was seen flying towards the van at high speeds on her cloud homie, Zeus. Prometheus fused with her, turning her hair into a huge flaming mane. In her hand, she held a massive longsword that had a face with crazy eyes and sharp teeth.
Oh, did I forget to mention the sword was also flaming?
"GIVE ME THE CAAAAAKE!" Big Mom yelled.
"Wade, you'd better be putting your all into the gas pedal!" Edgeworth said.
"I'm trying!" Deadpool replied. He was driving as fast as they could, but Big Mom was gaining on them.
"See if you can shake her off!" Kiryu told him.
"CAAAAAAAAAAKKKKEEEEEE! GIVE IT TO MEEEEEEEE!"
"She's not in her right mind!" Isabelle cried.
"This fat cow is completely relentless." Cinder remarked.
Big Mom raised her sword, readying an attack. The sky got darker as the island shook violently once again.
"Better get ready to move this thing!" Terry said. "She's got a big attack coming!"
"On it!" Deadpool said.
"IKOKU SOVEREIGNTY!"
With one mighty swing of her sword, Big Mom sends out a high pressurized shockwave projectile even greater than that of a nuke. Deadpool gave a sharp turn on the wheel, and dodged it. Starscream, who flew above, also managed to avoid it. But everything in the blast's path was completely disintegrated from the blast. The move completely eradicated a majority of the island, still flying out to sea, and more than likely through the stratosphere.
"That was close!" Deadpool said. "But I don't think I'll be able to pull that off again!"
"She's a complete and ungodly monster!" Toko cried. "It's game over for us!"
"I WANT CAKEEEE!" Big Mom roared. Her sword got bigger, and coated the sword in more fire.
"We're not gonna be able to avoid this one." Iida said, accepting their fate. "It's been nice knowing you all."
"Guess I'm gonna die twice in one day." Terry groaned.
"I'm gonna miss you!" Miu said, clutching Reg close to her chest. "You're like a son to me!"
But Big Mom suddenly stopped everything. She stopped moving, and began to sniff the air. She smelled something interesting.
"I SMELL CHOCOLATE CAKE!"
She then immediately turned around and flew in the opposite direction, leaving everyone dumbstruck.
"Can someone explain what the fuck just happened?!" Harley said.
"Looks like she's getting the cake she wanted after all." Deadpool said. "Hang on guys, we're almost back to the plane."
(Whole Cake Chateau)
Rick comes out of the portal, bringing a giant chocolate cake that looked nearly identical to the original.
"Where did you get this from?" Katakuri asked.
"It's from a parallel universe where the challenge went according to plan. I stole it off them. I mean, that alternate version of us is screwed, but hey, better anyone than us." Rick answered.
"Why do something like that?" Edward asked.
"Because it's a bitch and a half to change universes, cause she obviously wouldn't stop. Plus, that's my good deed for the year."
"Thank you." Katakuri told him. "Although I'm sure Mama's caused quite enough damage already. If anything, she should be on her way here. Once she eats it, she'll calm down. I'd suggest you two head back to the others."
Edward gives Katakuri a thumbs up. "Will do."
He then pulls Ed close.
"And one more thing. Keep a close eye on Starscream and Coyle. They're bad news."
Ed nods as he and Rick begin to walk off.
"I also wish you two luck! Be on the lookout for any activity from Gjira, as I'm sure it's not over from him!"
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
"God, I hope it's the last I hear about him." Edward said. "I just want to put today behind me. The last thing I want is for everyone to know this was my fault. So I'm not gonna say anything about it. For their safety."
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
The van passed through the Seducing Woods, and was in the home stretch. But it skidded to halt as someone blocked their way.
"Not so fast!" Flampe said, with her goons by her side. "I ain't letting you all leave alive. Katakuri will be devastated if you all perish! Come on out and face your punishment!"
"Open the door." Toko said as she took out her stun gun. "It's time for a little payback."
Flampe sits there laughing, unknowing that with a quick flash, someone was slicing down her men.
"Huh?!" Flampe turned around and saw that her men were dead. Turning right back around, she was being stated down by Genocide Jack, with her blood stained scissors at the ready.
"AFTER WHAT YOU DID TO US EARLIER, HOW ABOUT I SEND YOU TO AN EARLY GRAVE LIKE THE REST OF THEM! KYEEHAHAHAHA!"
Flampe screams in utter fear (Jack is basically doing what she did to Max.) Flampe falls unconscious from fear, foaming at the mouth.
Jack hops back into the van and says, "Alright, let's keep this bad boy moving." Without missing a beat.
Eventually, they reach the port, and see Chris, Edward, and Rick in front of the plane.
"There you guys are!" Chris said. "These two already briefed me on what happened." (Except for anything involving Gjira.) "I never fully expected Katakuri's mom to be a terrifying monster."
"What happened to you guys?!" Tari asked Ed.
"Nothing… happened." Edward said bluntly. "I'm just glad you're okay."
"Interesting how a tragedy strikes and Chris isn't the one responsible for it." Susie said, glaring at Aqua.
"Don't worry, Susie." Chris said. "Since it's the lack of your team's dessert that caused all of this, rules, and my cruel streak dictates that your team will be voting someone off."
The Wolves groan, shooting Aqua and Terry a dirty look.
"And if what I heard is correct, the Dark Fun Gang did outstanding with their dessert. So immunity and first class goes to them."
The Dark Fun Gang cheers, congratulating Kiryu on his expert leadership skills to help them pull the win.
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
"Alright, it's a start." Kiryu said. "We just needed a push in the right direction."
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
The Wolves all sat in the elimination room, feeling physically and mentally drained from the events of that day. Aqua and Terry looked a little uneasy, while the others looked calm, albeit exhausted.
"I just tallied the votes." Chris said. "And I have to say this vote is quite an interesting one. But whatever. Let's see who's losing out on the money this time."
"Susie"
"Reg"
"Toko"
"Deadpool"
"Waluigi"
"Edgeworth"
"And Miu"
This left Terry and Aqua, both looking at each other nervously.
"Aqua, you supposedly ruined the cake that caused all of this. Even enjoying some of it for yourself. Terry, some people believe you enable her actions, and let her get away with her selfish behavior. The final bag goes to…"
…
…
…
…
…
…
"...Terry."
"NO!" They both cried.
"This can't be!" Terry cried. "Let me take her place! Or better yet, send me with her!"
"Sorry, pal. The people have spoken." Chris said. "We already just had a double elimination. And I think it'd be entertaining to keep you around with her gone."
"You are sick!"
"Stop defending her!" Miu said. "It's over. Let the useless shit leave."
"No no no no no no no!" Terry yelled, pounding his fist on the ground. "I failed you!"
"Hey." Aqua told him. "It's fine. I know full well I'm not the nicest person, or the most useful at times. But you are those things. And I'm grateful for how much you tried to help. Maybe, just maybe, I managed to change just a little bit because of you."
"But I didn't want it to turn out like this!" Terry said with tears in his eyes.
"I'm not the best at giving speeches, so just promise you'll keep kicking butt and bring home that money for us."
"I'll….. I'll try." Terry said.
They were both about to go in for another kiss, until Chris shoved Aqua out of the plane, and tossed the parachute for her afterwards.
"As for the rest of you, you all are safe. Enjoy loser class."
The Wolves then leave the room. Except for Terry. He laid there on the ground, crying. Not only did he lose trust in his team, get his butt handed to him by Big Mom, get killed, and then be resurrected. But he also lost the best girl he'd ever known. All in the same day. He didn't know what to do now. It was like his whole world came crumbling down.
Getting up, Terry takes off his hat and his gloves, then tosses them in the trash. He then weakly stumbles out of the room, filled with sadness and despair.
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
We then cut to Gjira's airship, Destroyah. He sat there, shaking his fist violently that his plan failed. Kogus, Sura, and King
"Dammit!" Gjira roared. "They're still alive!"
"Well, you did send those two to do the job." King snarked.
"Hey, that pirate knew what we were up to!" Sura retorts. "It's not the fault of moi."
"SHUT UP!" Gjira yelled. He sat down and downed another bottle of liquor. "It's obvious we need to try something a little different! So for now, I need time to think! I will unleash Khahrahk upon reality. For the biggest war reality has ever seen!"
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
So, that happened.
Sorry this one took longer than normal. Like I said before, I've been going through some stuff, not to mention I was sick there for a bit. But I'm feeling much better. Thank you all for your support and patience. But it feels good to get this one done.
I'm terribly sorry to the Aqua fans. But this was necessary for the plot. Framed for a crime she didn't commit. Gjira is really making the moves on the cast now. He's a drunk, but he's a master at playing chess if you catch my drift.
I really enjoyed writing this challenge. As some of you know I'm a super big One Piece fan, and wanted to show off my favorite character's home island. Even if it ended the way you other One Piece fans thought it would. I wanted to focus on the action and high stakes, so that's why I didn't focus as much on the challenge itself or some of the character progressions. But don't worry. Next chapter, we're taking things a little more calmly, and more character development for more of the cast will be in the next chapter
Also, poor Terry. The guy just didn't catch a break today. And now, who knows what's gonna happen to him.
Also, Edward really got a reality check that Gjira is not someone, or something to mess with. But will Gjira continue to plague his mind? Not to mention Katakuri warned him about some of the threats lingering in the game. But some of those threats may try to cause some trouble next time.
Speaking of Katakuri, let's give the guy a round of applause. As you saw, the guy puts up with a lot, and has to be the de facto captain of his family when his abusive mother goes off the rails. Not to mention he's discriminated everywhere he goes. Even by some of his siblings. He's a great man who his family doesn't deserve.
That about covers all of it, so let's talk about what's going down next time.
After a dangerous challenge like in Totto Land, Chris goes easy on them as we have another interdimensional challenge to the YouTube channel of SMG4. All three teams will test their ability to pull off being weird and Meme-worthy with the SMG4 cast. These guys will be engaging in a little War of the Fat Italians of their very own. One of the contestants will meet an interesting counterpart of themself, treachery and tricks will be afoot, there'll be memes galore, and one Wolf is gonna try and overcome the depression that's consumed him. But only the Dragon himself can save the Wolf.
Also, if there's any SMG4 fans in the audience, I could use a few ideas for what you'd wanna see in this, as it's basically gonna be like WOFTI. I might use ones from the videos, but some original ideas don't hurt.
With all of that said, don't forget to read and review, fave and follow, and send in your ideas. I've gotten a few location ideas from some of you I'm excited for. Hope to see you all in the next chapter. Until then, this is MemeKing, signing off.
