Episode 12: The TD Infinite and Endless Power Hour Part 1

Hello, again. Man, it feels like forever since our last actual chapter. But I didn't want to keep people waiting for too long, so here's half of the challenge. Again, I thank you all for your patience.

TheMasterKat: I had to research what'd be the best fit house for each character. Also, Coyle really is ruthless and no holds barred.

That guy: It'd be so much better if nobody had to leave. But it is a competition, and in the end, there can only be one winner.

Guest: No, I went cross eyed from explaining so much. If you want to learn more about our resident soup boi, you can find Epithet Erased on YouTube.

1602jaw: Well, it was more than just passion that took so long to get it out. Real life can be a pain sometimes, but it's a priority. If I can't think of a musical number for an episode, then don't count on it. I know they're an acquired taste.

TheHiddenAuthor5000: Thanks for the nice rating. I actually had to play through Bioshock again in preparation for the previous chapter.

NondescriptNorbert: It surely was worth the wait. I like to go big. In all honesty, I want to have more real world locations, yet some of these guys have some interesting worlds we have yet to see. Giovanni is an edgy troublemaker who's really a sweetheart and a dork. He's integral to the plot, and I'm glad I managed to show off his character pretty well.

Thenewsubwayguy: I know my work is not perfect, but it's nice to know you see very few flaws this time around. Let's all give a round of applause for our soup boi.

LogBook27062000: I really wanted to make it feel like the viewer was exploring Rapture as well, even using direct dialogue from the game. And I really do recommend reading Endless. It's damn good.

N8han11: The best way to describe Giovanni is he's an edgy troublemaker that's secretly a nice guy and a dorky tryhard that just wants to make friends. With soup powers.

ThelastCyberKnight: We all make grammar errors. Guess one slipped past me.

SteelRobot: I'm glad you liked it. You already know who Giovanni is, and you're reading Endless. You are all set. And yes, we need more nicknames from him.

Happiness studios: Look, I wanted to do it in a way where it's basically like a speedrun of the game. I tried my best to pull it off, but I'm sorry if it was too much of the source material for you. Even though I do this for fun, I often feel like people expect too much out of me.

Well, let's get this started, shall we?

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

"Last time on Total Drama Infinite 2, our contestants had a much different challenge this time around. Stumbling on a mysterious lighthouse in the Atlantic, our gang was treated to the marvelous, yet decimated city of Rapture. While the Aces were aided in their adventure by a man that ultimately backstabbed them in the end. Wow, I bet nobody saw that coming. During this, they meet Giovanni Potage, a wannabe villain who's done more good than bad. Regardless, he was a big help, and beat the big bad Fontaine, along with some quick thinking from Meggy. Unfortunately, Meggy was eliminated due to Coyle getting Harley on her side, and ganging up on her by voting her out. But even when that wasn't enough of a surprise, the Aces were treated to Giovanni joining their pathetic ranks. Can this guy really show how much of a "bad dude" he is, or is he doomed to fail? And has Harley really bitten off more than she can chew by allying with Coyle of all people? Find out right now of Total Drama Infinite 2!"

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

We open up on the new competitor, Giovanni Potage. Self proclaimed supervillain, manipulator of soup, and probably the best boss any minion could have.

And what was this ambitious villain up to? Forming a planned heist to attain vast riches? Doing other diabolical villain things?

Nope. He sat there in economy class, hard at work, knitting cool and matching team sweaters, and telling both the Aces and Dark Fun Gang a story.

"And then I said, drinking wine with your gal pals isn't yoga night, just because you're sitting on floor mats, mom." Giovanni said. "The only reason Debbie calls it that, is so that no one can point out that it's enabling her "little problem.""

"That's an…… interesting story." Sora said awkwardly.

"There, that should be the last one." Giovanni said, marveling at his handiwork. He made red sweaters that had each of his teammates first initial on the front in black lettering, and with a G on the back. (Stands for Giovanni).

"Please tell me I don't have to actually wear this shit?" Rick asked.

"Only if you want." Giovanni told him. "I want my minions to feel comfortable wearing what they please. I just think this will strike fear into the other teams, and show just how much of a badass team we are."

"I never took you for a knitting guy." Harley said. "I took you as more of a petty criminal who only does crimes such as loitering and shoplifting gum."

Giovanni holds up his knitting needles. "I wield both the powers of creation and destruction."

He flips the needles back and forth, switching between "grandma mode" and "knife mode."

He begins to hand out the sweaters to his teammates, with only Edward being the only who didn't recoil in disgust. He then goes to give Tari her sweater, but catches the Meta Runner looking out the window, looking a little glum.

"Hey, Bluejay." (That's his minion nickname for Tari.) "Are you doing all right?"

"I guess…." Tari sighed.

"You miss her, don't you?"

Tari nods. Her and Meggy were pretty close. And it just wasn't the same without her.

"You wanna talk about it?"

Giovanni sits down next to her. "Come on. Sewing time is bonding time. Why do you think they call it "close knit?"

Tari slightly chuckled at his dad joke. "Alright, then. I'm honestly grateful for your help, and Meggy's too. I just didn't think almost everyone else would vote her off. And what's weirder, Ed has been acting really strange lately. It's almost like I don't recognize him anymore. It's been like this ever since Totto Land."

Giovanni puts a comforting arm around her. "I miss her too." He said. "Even though we didn't know each other very long, I could tell she was a good friend through and through. I may not be her, but I will do the best to make sure my minions are happy. That's what a good boss does. If you have anything you need to talk about, I'm here with a listening ear. And don't worry about Fullmetal. I'll talk to him, too."

"Thank you." Tari told him. "I'll keep that in mind. Thanks, Giovanni.

"Please, call me boss. Now, try the sweater on! We're gonna look so kickass!"

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

"It's kind of hard to believe Giovanni is some kind of villain." Tari said. "He's encouraging, kind, and apparently great at knitting. Kind of like having a big brother around."

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

"I think my team really enjoys my presence." Giovanni bragged. "But that green chick with the weird arms? She gives me the creeps. Same with that fire chick with the eyepatch. But everyone else on the team seems like perfect minion material."

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

Giovanni walks over to Edward, who was just staring at the ceiling with a bored expression on his face.

"Ah, if it isn't my favorite minion, Fullmetal." Giovanni said. "Figure I needed to talk to you. You know Bluejay is worried about you."

Ed perked his ears at Giovanni's words and quickly stood up. "Thanks for reminding me. I need to talk to you about something really important. And in private. Just let me go get Rick first."

"Um….. okay."

A few minutes later, Ed, Giovanni, and Rick (Who actually looked a little less irritable than usual), were in the cargo room.

"Alright, pal." Ed said super seriously. He cut straight to chase. "Start talking. You know Gjira, right? How did that happen, and what's he been up to?!"

"O-oh!" Giovanni said nervously. "Right. If I remember correctly, you're the one he was ranting and raving about."

"How do you know him?!" Rick reiterated. "Tell us that first."

"Alright. You see, when I quit the Banzai Blasters, I was basically on the run as a fugitive. While I was on the lam, one of his children found me, and took me straight to Gjira. Those stupid kids suggested I be killed on the spot, thinking I was just all talk. Surprisingly, the big guy took pity on me, and let me work under him. But from his rants and whatnot, you've really pissed him off big time."

"Can't believe he was that lenient with you." Rick said. "He's never lenient. Then again, you really don't seem like much."

Giovanni sighed. "Yeah. And my first job was the one in Rapture. At least now this show keeps me away from him."

"Don't count on it." Edward told him. "He's already nearly got us killed once already. I already feel responsible for it. And I don't know if he'll try again."

"So that's why we want you to keep your damn mouth shut about Gjira." Rick threatened. "Keep it between us, and don't go name dropping him to other people. The guy gets stronger that way."

"Please." Edward said. "Just keep quiet about it, okay? For their sake."

"Well……. okay. Since my minion said please. I won't say a thing to anyone. I promise."

"Awesome. If you want, I'd like to ask some more questions later."

"That's gonna be a negative, ghost rider." Rick said. "We know plenty. You keep digging further, it's gonna get worse. And you've already dug quite the deep grave for yourself already."

"...Fine."

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

In first class, the Wolves sat around a table, all staring intently at the plasmid they got to keep for winning the last challenge. Looking at the green liquid in the container, they all had one question in mind.

"What should we do with it?" Reg asked.

"I don't know." Toko said. "Only one of us can really use it."

"Eh, I know I don't need it." Deadpool said. "When you can't die, you're pretty much set."

"But if I remember correctly, these things can mess with your mind." Edgeworth said. "You'd be taking a risk if any of us were to put it into our systems."

"We could sell it." Susie suggested. "Probably make a crap ton of cash."

"Well, Miu did technically help us get it." Terry said. "I think it's only fair that she should do with it whatever she wants."

"Aw, come on!" Susie complained. "Think of the money we can make off this bad boy!"

"Hm. A wise choice." Miu said, taking the plasmid and tucking it away. "No way in hell I'm gonna actually use it on myself. But I'm sure I can find some use for it later down the line."

"Oh, I already know the answer to that one." Deadpool said. "And it's gonna be awesome."

After that, the intercom came on. "Everyone, meet me in the cafeteria, and I'll brief you on your next challenge. And i can 100% confirm this one will be a treat."

"I'm already calling bullshit on McLame." Miu said.

"God, I hope you're wrong." Reg said.

(A few minutes later…..)

Everyone was finally seated together in the cafeteria, and Chris was ready to give them the rundown on what today's challenge is.

"After places like Totto Land and Rapture, you better have somewhere that's actually fun and not life threatening!" Iida said. "Don't you know our safety is your top priority?!"

"Hey, my priorities are me, myself, and I." Chris said. "You guys just look good for the cameras. But I can assure you this one is fun. You have my word."

"I'll hold you to that." Starscream warned, aiming his blaster at the host.

"It is, because we're actually going to be returning to Great Britain."

Susie snorted. "You're really running out of ideas, aren't ya?"

"Not necessarily. You guys are actually going to a different destination within the great nation. Are any of you familiar with Hogwarts?"

Some of the cast gasped.

"You mean like, from Harry Potter?" Toko asked.

"That'd be correct."

"I'm gonna stop you right there." Deadpool said. "Now you're REALLY running out of ideas. First off, two other authors already beat you to the punch on that one. TheMasterKat and NondescriptNorbert, to be exact. What exactly could we do that's different from those parallel seasons?"

"Well, you're actually going to the version of the school where one of those casts is currently residing." Chris answered.

"Okay, I'm confused." Sora said. "Which casts are what? I can't make heads or tails of it."

"Remember those guys we met before London?" Terry said. (Which was only shown in Total Drama Endless). "Those guys that were looking for a lost pet or something? They're one of them. They even had another Rick with them."

"And that's the cast you guys are going to see." Chris told them. "They've actually been at that school for over a month if I remember correctly."

"Well, we only met a few of them." Kiryu said. "And they seemed like decent people. Hope the rest are the same."

Chris continued his explanation. "Regardless, you guys have been accepted to stay at the school for a week. But to make this interesting, you guys won't be on your regular teams for this one."

"What are you talking about?" Edward asked. "Is it time for the merge?"

"No. Once you all are at Hogwarts, you will each be placed into one of its four houses: Gryffindor, Ravenclaw, Hufflepuff, and Slytherin. During the week, you will be awarded points based on your achievements, whether academic or just good actions. You'll lose points if you act up, misbehave, or cause. By the end of the week, the house with the most points will win immunity. Meanwhile, the other three losing houses will each vote somebody off!"

"WHAT?!" Everyone yelled. Geez, now he was really upping the stakes on this.

"By that logic…… we'd have a triple elimination!" Iida said.

"Yep. We'll have three eliminations in one go."

"For a challenge that's more simple, you're really raising the stakes." Reg said. "That makes it all the more important to win."

"So then it's possible for one of our teams to lose more than one member." Kiryu said.

"I actually like this challenge." Isabelle said. "That sounds way more exciting than the last few challenges we've had."

"Well, I don't like it." Susie said. "So now we have to go to school? That's lame."

"I actually agree with you." Terry said. "Because I've never actually been to school. You know, living on the streets and all."

"I hate to be that guy," Edgeworth said, "but I see we're lacking the proper supplies. You know, wands and books and all that."

"Don't worry about that." Chris said. "Somebody was already kind enough to do some school shopping and get you muggles the magic supplies you need. Straight from the wizarding world itself."

With a snap of his fingers, DIO came out and began to give everyone the supplies they needed. Wands, robes, textbooks, and a few other little things they'd need.

"Consider yourselves lucky." DIO growled. "I had to pay for all of this out of my own pocket."

"Aw, what a pal." Deadpool said.

"You really shouldn't have." Susie added.

"Don't push it, you traitors!"

"I'd also like to lay down a few ground rules for you all while you're visiting, as I'm gonna be unable to go with you guys." Chris said. "I don't want you guys doing anything so stupid that could get me and this show into any trouble. That means Deadpool and Toko, don't kill anyone."

"Geez, and that's more Jack's thing than mine." Toko said bitterly.

"Susie, Harley, I don't want to hear you brutally beat up one of the students over something small or stupid."

"As long as no one does anything, then you don't have anything to worry about." Harley remarked.

"And most importantly, have fun. Make some friends and memories. It isn't often people get an opportunity to do something like this. Now, you all better step back.

Chris pulls out a device that seems similar to Rick's portal gun. He shoots it at the ground, and a familiar green portal opens up.

"Wait, how the fuck can you make portals like I can?" Rick questioned.

"Trade secret. You're not the only genius in the multiverse. We have people. Now, we weren't allowed to portal you guys directly to the school, but we got the next best thing. You guys will take the Hogwarts Express. By the time you reach the school, it should be about sometime this evening. I wish you all luck."

(I know I forgot to mention this, the methods used to travel to other worlds is also pretty much similar to how Rick can do it on a regular basis, even with similar technology.)

Everyone hops down through the portal one by one, and once everyone is through, the portal closes. Chris then looks over at the Ginyu Force.

"Alright, now that these guys are gone for a week, I have an important job for you six."

"And what might that be, boss?" Jeice asked.

"Here's the thing. A little while back, I sent out applications for some more interns. Figured we'd be needing a little bit more help around here. Especially since one of you is slacking a bit."

DIO just rolls his eyes at this.

"That's why I need you guys to head out, pick them up, and bring them back here."

"At least tell me they have to wear these shitty uniforms." DIO said.

"Nope. And they're all going to be your superiors, just like the rest of the Ginyu Force."

"Oh, you've got to be kidding me! Why?!"

"Because we don't like you. As a matter of fact, we've got some of the added help here to aid you. Come on in!"

A little figure waddles in. He was round, small, and looked like a less detailed rendition of the famous video game character, Kirby. And if you've watched Terminalmontage's videos, you know who it is.

"Say hi to Kirbo."

"POYO!" He said happily.

"Again, you've got to be kidding me." DIO grumbled. "This cheeky little ball of gum?"

"Poyo poyo!" Kirbo said.

Chris then handed Dio, Ginyu, and Kirbo a piece of paper.

"These detail their locations. Try not to get lost. Now that you guys have this, you're dismissed."

The Ginyu Force all gave a salute. "Yes, boss!" They open the door in the plane and hop out, as They could fly.

Kirbo then comedically farts out a warp star, and flies off, with DIO having to sit on it alongside Kirbo.

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

Once the gang was through the portal, they found themselves at a train station in London. (Even though where they were headed was located around Scotland) They look around and see a punch of the passersby staring at them with wonder, but still going about their business.

"Can we go anywhere without these stupid civilians staring at us like us at we're in a zoo?!" Starscream complained.

"You're the one that's a giant ass robot!" Miu told him.

"You better watch how you talk to the new leader of the Decepticons, girl!"

"Miu, Starscream, shut up!" Edward yelled. This little outburst of his had the whole crew staring at him.

"G-geez….." Miu said, nervously twirling her hair.

"What's the problem, Ed?" Deadpool asked. "That's very out of character for you."

"It's fine." Edward deflected. "Just a bit irritated is all."

"Maybe these masses are basking in all my evil glory!" Giovanni said, quickly trying to change the subject for Ed's sake.

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

"He ain't fooling me." Deadpool said. "Something's up with him."

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

"Look, I just got a lot on my plate with all this Gjira crap." Ed explained. "For a while now, I haven't even touched that book. But I still get this bad feeling that everyone is gonna be put in danger again."

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

"Uh, hey, there's the train over there!" Sora said, gesturing to a large red steam train that sat nearby. It had "Hogwarts Express" written on it.

"That's quite the impressive locomotive." Iida said. "How long do you think it'll be before we get there?"

"It's probably gonna be a long ride." Edgeworth said. "So I figure we better find our seats quickly."

They all get on the train, and scramble to find their seats. In one compartment, Terry, Kiryu, Joe, and Deadpool were together. Another one had Tari, Giovanni, Reg, and Miu. In another compartment, there was Sora, Iida, Susie, and Waluigi. Another one had Cinder, Coyle, Harley, and Rick. Lastly, there was Edgeworth, Edward, Toko, and Isabelle in another. Poor Starscream had to be in one compartment by himself due to his size.

"This is fine." Starscream said to himself. "I could use the alone time."

In Rick's compartment, he was starting to get annoyed with his fellow passengers. Coyle stared at him, eyeing him and sizing him up with a look of curiosity. Cinder was busy messing around with some fire she conjured, and Harley just sat there, looking out the window.

"Shit, quit staring at me!" Rick snapped as he stood up. "I'm gonna go see if they got any booze on this train!"

He opens the door, and quickly leaves.

"Glad that got him out of here." Coyle said. "So, ladies, I think it's about time we talk about our next plan of action."

"Wait a minute!" Harley protested. "I thought helping you out was just a one time thing!"

"Do not delude yourself, darling. We're your best shot at getting far in this game. Pretty soon, the teams will merge, and if you don't have allies, you're likely going to be one of the first ones picked off. Those that play solo by that are easy prey."

"And you really wouldn't want us as your enemies." Cinder added. "So you're either with us, or against us. It's your call."

This was a tough decision for Harley. She wanted to win, sure, but if what this woman was spouting was really true, then maybe it is her best shot. Maybe she would need an ally or two. But she wouldn't enjoy it.

"You know what? Fuck it, I'm in."

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

"To be honest, I've felt as though I've been doing well playing a good solo game." Harley said. "But desperate times call for desperate measures. So fine. I'll work with them, but they better not start bossing me around. I have ambitions. This is strictly business."

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

"So, what are you guys gonna do once we get there?" Terry asked.

"God, I'd kill to meet the one and only Harry Potter." Deadpool said. "Funny enough, another version of me competed alongside him on a parallel version of this show."

"All this multiverse shit is confusing sometimes." Kiryu said. "But I do wonder how those Endless guys are doing. Considering we haven't met all of them."

"All I hope is that I don't get beat up." Joe said. "Back in my school days, all the other kids would pick on me and kick my butt."

"Yeah, but these are wizards and witches." Terry said. "Worse case scenario, you get a curse put on you."

"Do you know anything else about these "parallel worlds?" Joe asked Deadpool.

"I figure Rick knows more than me since he's always hopping dimensions." Deadpool explained. "But my awareness of all these fanfics should be enough info. But there's four that are connected that you need to keep in mind. Those are Endless, Everything, Cruise, and us, Infinite. Just keep those in mind."

"Oh……. okay."

"Is that where that other Aqua came from?" Terry asked.

"Right. At least ours is a much nicer person than that other one."

Terry just sighs dreaming. "I can just sit around all day and think about how beautiful she is. Ours, I mean."

As Edward is walking past their compartment, he overheard Terry say something.

"And when I find the one responsible for causing all that trouble on Whole Cake Island, I'm gonna make sure they eat the rest of their meals through a straw! I will never forgive them for what they did to Aqua!"

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

"Well, what he doesn't know won't hurt him, right?" Ed said, laughing nervously."

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

"Think there's any way we can watch those shows?" Joe asked. "They sound interesting."

"Oh, they're amazing. Let's ask Rick later. He's got interdimensional cable. As long as he's not busy watching Nintendo 69."

(Yes, I did add the joke after the season 5 premiere of Rick and Morty.)

(Meanwhile…….)

"They've gotta put me in Slytherin house!" Giovanni told his fellow passengers. "I hear that's where all the really bad dudes go!"

"Is that true?" Reg asked. "I heard that's a misconception."

"You bet it's true! And who knows? Maybe you can end up in the same house alongside me!"

"Get real, shithead!" Miu swore. "If anything, this precious little fuckin' cinnamon roll is gonna be with me!" As she said this, she gave the little robot a gentle pat on his helmet.

"It's quite interesting." Tari said. "The bond you two share. I've seen you take care of him, patch him up when he got hurt, and protect him. You're kind of like his mother, in a sense."

"And I'm going to keep making him so fucking strong."

"That's actually….. a really nice way to put it." Reg admitted. "She's honestly a lot like my friend, Riko. They're smart, strong minded, and maybe a bit stubborn, but have good hearts."

"Well, ain't that sweet." Miu bragged. "And now, this fucking school is NOT readu for this gorgeous girl genius!"

"...Right." Tari said awkwardly.

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

"God, I really miss Meggy." Tari said. "I don't think I've had a real conversation with Miu before. How does her team tolerate it?"

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

Hours pass, and the door to the compartment opens up, and they see that it's Iida.

"We're now approaching the school." He told them. "I'd recommend getting yourselves ready. If you look out the window, you'll see Hogwarts. And I must say, it's quite impressive."

Everyone looks out the window and sees in the distance a dark and massive castle. Several towers and battlements were around it, and wide open fields could be seen.

"Wow……." Toko said with amazement. "It's even bigger than Hope's Peak."

"It's more impressive than castle Stroheim." Terry added.

"This definitely trumps the one in the Mushroom Kingdom." Waluigi said.

Finally, the train stopped at the station, and they all filed out of there, single file. (per Iida's request). By this time, it was starting to get dark outside.

"Are you lot the Infinite bunch, by chance?" A gruff voice asked.

They turn and see a giant of a man twice their size walk towards them. He was about two meters shorter than Katakuri, but was still quite big. His face was hidden by a lot of long, shaggy hair, and a wild beard. He wore a long, dark jacket, and was holding a lantern.

"That would be us, sir." Iida answered. He then bowed "A pleasure to meet you."

"You all look even crazier than that Endless group. It seems there's another one of these fellows with ya." (He gestures to Rick as he said this) "The world's a big place, I reckon. Rubeus Hagrid is the name. Groundskeeper of Hogwarts, at your service. Professor Dumbledore asked that I escort you guys to the school."

"This guy is huge." Susie said. "Yo, big guy! What are you?!"

"Susie!" Iida yelled. "Please refrain from asking rude questions like that!"

"She's fine." Hagrid told him. "I can figure you lot do0n't know much about the wizarding world, so yer minds must be full o' questions. And to answer yer question, I'm part giant. Anyway, all of you, follow me."

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

"Then what does that make Katakuri?" Edgeworth pondered. "He's full human, yet bigger than Hagrid. Then again, his mother is very large in her own right."

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

The cast follows Hagrid down a narrow path, and through a dark and dense forest, with the lantern being the only source of light. A path then opens up to a large and black lake. Up ahead, past the water, the school could be seen in plain sight.

(NondescriptNorbert explained to me that the time that the time this takes place for our casts would be during the sixth book, the Half Blood Prince, for those who wondered.)

Hagrid gestures to an array of wooden boats sitting by the lake. "Alright, three to a boat, you all."

The cast of crazies sail across the lake, and finally reach a small, underground harbor. They walk up another passage, and a set of steps, and finally reach a large oak door. Hagrid knocks on the door with a loud echo, and the door swings wide open. Terry just gives off a surprised whistle.

"There'll be a lot more to surprise ya, my friend." Hagrid said.

They are led inside, and led down a long path. The gang looks around and is continuously impressed by the interior of this castle. They are lard through another door, and now enter the dining hall.

The lights of many candles float above everyone, lighting up the room with a warm glow. There were four long tables laid about the length of the room, with many young witches and wizards either eating or chatting with one another. At the end of the room, there's another long table on a raised platform where it looked like the teachers were sitting. At the very center of them, there's an old man with a silver beard, spectacles, and blue robes, sitting in a chair. As soon as the Infinite crew entered the room, the chatting stopped, and all eyes were on them.

"I don't like being stared at like this." Joe said. "I feel like I'm in a zoo."

"It can't be helped, I guess." Sora sighed.

But there were a few people amongst the students who easily took notice of these guys. A tall, athletic woman with olive skin and pale grey eyes, was very much surprised to see them.

"Could it be…….?" She asked herself. "They're here?"

Another man was quite shocked to see them. He was a middle aged man, and instead of wearing his usual brown leather jacket, fedora, and bullwhip at his side, he now wore a tweed three piece suit. "Well, I'll be."

The old man stands up, and the quiet murmurs die down.

"Everyone, I would like to welcome some new faces that will be staying with us for the week. Our esteemed guests, much like our friends from Endless, these ones are from another show of a similar caliber. Before we continue with dinner, we'd also like to welcome them into the Hogwarts family."

Brought in front of them was a stool with an old wizard hat perched on it.

"Each of you will step forward, and the sorting hat will put you into the most suitable house for you. Once you are sorted, please go sit with your fellow students. I'm sure they'll welcome you with open arms."

Another teacher, wearing a pointed hat and green emerald robes steps forward, with a roll of parchment.

"Now, we will sort these guests." She said, "And just like our guests from Endless, we will begin with those without surnames. Dr. Coyle, please step forward and put on the hat."

Coyle smirks as she floats over the stool and dons the hat. The sorting hat takes very little time to come to a decision.

"SLYTHERIN!" The hat exclaimed.

"Interesting……" Coyle mused, as she floated over to the table second from the right. She sits down next to a stout, purple skinned woman with long white hair.

"Yo!" She says. "What's up? The name's Amethyst. How's it hanging?"

Coyle slowly turns her head and eyes the gem with curiosity.

"Ah. So you're one of those other fellows from Endless? Considering I missed the chance to meet you all when you paid us a little visit. Not that I personally wanted to. But I won't sully my time losing brain cells dealing with brats like you."

"Could've just said hey back." Amethyst grumbled.

The next name was then called to wear the sorting hat.

"Glass Joe."

Joe gulps nervously and takes his turn to put the hat on. After thinking it over, the hat decides to put him in…..

"HUFFLEPUFF!"

Feeling relieved, Joe joins the table on the far right as they cheer for him. He sits in between two interesting characters. One was a pudgy british man. The other, whom he did recognize from their little visit, was a blonde haired woman, who wore a crown.

"Lighten up, pal." The man in the Hawaiian shirt said. "You're among friends here. Lenny's the name."

"It's quite a pleasure to see you guys again." The princess next to him said. "I hope you guys have been doing well."

"Y-yeah…." Joe said, beginning to warm up to this group. "Glad to see you again, princess."

"Isabelle."

Isabelle happily sits in the stool and was also added as a Hufflepuff like Glass Joe. Isabelle joins the students at that table, and sits next to Peach.

"Hello again, princess." The secretary says.

"Thank you."

Now, Reg was up next to get sorted. The little robot dons the hat, and after thinking it over real quickly, he's put into…..

"GRYFFINDOR!"

The table at the far left applauds for the little guy. Reg goes and quietly sits down next to a couple of students.

Sora was up next, and the hat wasted no time putting him in Hufflepuff. Sora joins Joe at the Hufflepuff table, looking quite pleased with the choice.

Starscream was up next, and just simply plucked the hat off the stool and put it on his head.

"SLYTHERIN!" The hat said after thinking it over for about 5 seconds.

"Hah! A wise decision!" Starscream said, though deep down, he didn't know about the common traits found among Slytherins. As he went to sit at the table, some of them quickly moved to make room for him. The person Starscream sits right next to is astounded by the look of him. He was an adult, African American man wearing a green baseball cap.

"Daaaaamn, you're fucking huge!" He said. "And you're pretty scary, but nothing like Alastor fucker."

"I don't know who you are, organic, but I suggest you stay out of my way." Starscream warned.

"Hey, it's cool, bro."

"I am nobody's "bro.""

Susie was up next, and was surprised with the house she was placed in.

"GRYFFINDOR!"

"Huh?!" Susie wondered. "Why put me there?!"

"The hat has spoken." McGonagall said. "That house is for those who are brave and daring, charismatic, and chivalrous."

"Oh…….that's fine, I guess."

Susie went and joined Reg at the Gryffindor table. With that, the next name was called.

"Turbo Artificial Rapid Intelligence."

"Who now?" Harley asked.

"It's me." Tari said. "That's my technical name."

"She told me about it a little while back." Edward said. "She's a hyper intelligent AI in an artificial body."

"I never would have guessed that." Rick said. "So she's not…… human? And I'm just now learning about this? That's fucking lame."

Tari puts on the hat, and is put into Gryffindor. The duck loving gamer is okay with this as she goes and joins Susie and Reg.

"Waluigi." McGonagall said, signaling that it was his turn.

The lanky cheater gulped as he went to put on the hat. He knew that Isabelle was in Hufflepuff, and really didn't want to feel more awkward by being placed in the same house as her. He'll take a house, any other house, just as long as it's not Hufflepuff. He crossed his fingers, hoping, praying that it was anything else.

"HUFFLEPUFF!"

"NOOOOOO!"

Waluigi dramatically dropped to his knees in despair, pounding the ground.

Isabelle watched this, and groaned. "Oh no……."

"Something wrong?" Larry asked.

"Oh no oh no oh no oh no!" Isabelle cried. "I can't show my face in front of him!"

"Why not?"

"It's a long story." Sora simply answered.

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

"As if things couldn't get any worse." Isabelle groaned.

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

"As if things couldn't get worse for Waluigi." Waluigi groaned.

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

Waluigi joined the rest of the Hufflepuffs, and sat down next to a man with a triangular shaped face, and long pointy nose. The guy took notice of the look of worry on Waluigi's face.

"Something wrong?" The guy asked. "It looked like you hated being placed here. I mean, I wanted to be placed in Slytherin, but these guys are cool."

"It's her!" Waluigi cried. "Why did I have to be placed with her?!"

He points over at Isabelle, who also still also looked distressed about this decision. "Who, you mean her?"

" Sigh. Yes."

"That's the last of those without surnames." McGonagall called. "Now, we will start with those who do have them. Next up, we have Bogard, Terrence."

Terry flashes his team a thumbs up. "Wish me luck, guys."

Terry takes his turn with the sorting hat, removing his own hat to do so. He's placed in Gryffindor, and Terry simply celebrates by putting his hat back on, only to toss it off and yell "OK!"

The table to the left applauds for him and his enthusiasm.

"Edgeworth, Miles."

The hat takes a long time before it decides Edgeworth belongs in Ravenclaw. The second table applauds for the prosecutor as he joins them. He sits between the tall woman with the helmet from earlier, and a small green skinned turtle.

"Pleasure to meet you again, Athena." Edgeworth said. "It's been quite a while since we last met."

"I'll admit, I was quite surprised when I heard you guys were showing up." She told him. "It's been….. interesting, these past couple of weeks."

This peeked Miles' interest. "Really? How so?"

"We'll have to tell you later." The turtle said. "I know we haven't properly met, but I'm Bentley, by the way."

After that, Edward and Cinder took their turns for sorting, becoming another Ravenclaw and Slytherin (Surprising no one), respectively. After that, it was Toko, who became another Ravenclaw, and Iida, becoming another Gryffindor.

"Iruma, Miu."

"Alright, let's get this shit over with." Miu sighed. As she put on the hat, she sat there looking bored. The sorting hat finally decided for Miu to join Ravenclaw.

"FUCK YEAH! SUCK IT, YOU FUCKING VIRGINS!" Miu exclaimed to the high heavens. The Ravenclaw table claps, feeling a bit uncomfortable with Miu's behavior. Then again, so was everyone else there.

"Is she always like that?" Athena asked.

"You get used to it after a while." Edgeworth replied.

Once Miu joined her fellow students, it was time for another competitor to get sorted.

"Kiryu, Kazuma. Please come forward."

Kiryu sits down and puts the hat on. The choice took longer than it did for anyone else. But the verdict was probably the most surprising of the evening.

"SLYTHERIN!"

"What?!" Terry cried. "Kiryu with those snake freaks?! How?!"

"Well, this is quite a surprise." Kiryu said gruffly. "But I guess I'll have to adapt."

Kiryu takes a seat near the far end of the table, sitting next to a teenage girl with auburn hair, who wasn't acknowledging anyone, and a guy with long, wavy, straw coloured hair. He looks at Kiryu and gives a smug smirk.

"Geez, your group is an even bigger freak show than ours." The guy said. "That one girl reminds me a lot of Rick. And I hate that."

"You seem like the type who's eager to start shit." Kiryu said. "But I'm obligated to restrain my fists while I'm here. So I'm gonna let that slide."

"I'm just screwing with you!" The guy said defensively. "Don't take it too seriously! So who're you, anyway?"

"Kazuma Kiryu, associate of the Dojima Clan, and at one point, a yakuza. That enough of an answer?"

"Well, I'm Roy, and the little miss moody pants sitting right next to you is Beatrice."

Kiryu looks over at Beatrice, but she quickly turns away from them. Kiryu sighs with frustration. "It's gonna be a long week."

Giovanni was up next. The aspiring villain confidently struts over and puts the hat on.

"C'mon, baby." He told himself, trying to hype himself up. "Gimme Slytherin! Come on!"

"GRYFFINDOR!"

"W…….WHAT?! AW, MAN!"

Giovanni was heartbroken. He basically got the exact opposite of what he wanted.

"Can I get a redo?"

"You'd just get the same house again." Deadpool informed him.

Giovanni, despite his disappointment, was gonna at least try to make the best of it.

"You know what?! I'm a bad dude! I can make the best of it! Maybe one day, I can make my own house!"

Giovanni then heads over to the Gryffindor table, and joins them. He sits down next to a short, Chinese man, with mutton chops and a topknot. His right eye was also blacked out.

"Don't feel too bad about it." He told Giovanni. "At least it'll be nice to have some other friends. I was the only one out of our show to be put in Gryffindor. These guys are nice, but it just feels a little lonely."

"Is that so?" Giovanni said. He then holds out his hand for a handshake "Well, you ain't seen nothing yet from me and my cohorts. I'm Giovanni Potage, bad guy extraordinaire!"

The guy then returns the shake. "Yao, hero of China."

Harley took her turn, and was very quickly put into Slytherin. Having no problems with that, she joined her fellow allies Coyle and Cinder at that table.

Rick took his turn next, and many of the students were surprised to see him there. Especially since there was already another Rick there, watching this. And just like his counterpart, he was put into Ravenclaw. Rick just shrugged and quickly sat down next to the other Rick.

"Great, now there's two of them." Roy said sarcastically.

"Well, well, well." Rick said smugly. "Look who's back up and walking. Heard you've gotten yourself into some deep shit."

Endless Rick perked up at this. "You already heard that quickly?! Well, shouldn't have been surprised. We're Ricks, after all."

"Yeah, and now practically everyone hates you. Remember how I told you don't blow it? Well, you blew it hard in Gotham."

"Fuck off." Endless Rick told him. "It's not like I care what they think. Some of them are whiny little snowflakes, anyway. Especially that piece of shit, Beatrice."

"Well, at least I don't have any targets on my back, currently. And I almost killed everyone last time."

"Whatever."

"And for the last new student of the night," McGonagall said, "we have Wilson, Wade."

"Ah, we saved the best for last." Finally, Deadpool took his turn. After a minute of thought, that hat sorted the merc into Hufflepuff. He jumps for joy and joins the rest of his fellow students.

For those that need a quick reference so you don't get confused, here's which house everyone was put in.

Gryffindor: Reg, Susie, Tari, Terry, Iida, Giovanni

Ravenclaw: Edgeworth, Edward, Rick, Miu, Toko

Hufflepuff: Sora, Deadpool, Glass Joe, Waluigi, Isabelle

Slytherin: Dr. Coyle, Harley, Kiryu, Starscream, Cinder

After everyone was sorted, the evening could commence. A supper magically appeared in front of them, and everyone began to eat and socialize with these new faces.

"Alright, boys!" Giovanni dramatically told his teammates for this challenge. (Including Yao and the other Gryffindor students). "We're going to make sure we win this challenge. We will be the biggest and baddest witches and wizards around!"

"Just shut your trap!" Susie snapped. "We know our goal, and we're gonna thrash everyone else here!"

"Susie!" Iida exclaimed with profound shock. "Could you please not shout things like that?! You will get us into trouble and put us in a very disadvantageous start!"

Susie quickly turned her face away from him. "Ggh……….fine! But only because you asked and all that junk!"

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

"Didn't think someone could really rein in Susie like that." Tari said. "I never noticed that before."

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

"So they ditched you all?!" Edgeworth asked.

"That's the sad truth, yes." Bentley answered.

"All Conan said was to "follow the story" to find the gateway to our next destination." Athena explained. "But I'm drawing a blank. And we're the only ones that are actually trying to leave."

"That's crazy." Toko said. "Doesn't anyone care?!"

"Guess not." Rick said. He then puts his arm around the other Rick, as if they were pals, just to fuck with him. "Especially this son of a bitch right here!"

"It's...interesting……that there's two of them." Edward said awkwardly.

"Hey, at least the two best geniuses on this fucking show are teaming up again!" Miu said.

"Who's this girl?" Endless Rick asked. "Your Morty?"

"Nope. Just one of the only people I can tolerate on this show. But don't worry, I'm not gonna make a portal and ditch her like what you did with that kid."

"Geez, Rick! Lay off him!" Edward said.

"Trust me, I'm gonna have a fucking field day this week."

"Your words mean nothing to me!" Endless Rick replied.

"Sometimes, you mortals worry me." Athena said.

(Midgar, 7th Heaven Bar, TeamFourStar version)

DIO grumbled to himself as he walked through the slums of this world. The sky was gray, and all the buildings looked old and disheveled. He then finds this old bar. There were signs posted around that said "AVALANCHE TIME!", "NO GIRLS ALOUD!" and "INTRUDERS WILL BE SHOT!" Yeah, everything seems normal here.

DIO walks up the stairs and aggressively knocks on the door. After a moment of waiting, the door opens and DIO is greeted by a large black man, with a gun for one of his hands. By his side, was a red creature that kind of looked like a dog, and had a derpy expression on his face.

"Whatever you're selling, I'm not buying jack shit!" The guy said.

DIO then looked down at the paper he was given. "Uh…… you're Barrett Wallace, and Red XIII, right?"

"Who wants to know?" Barrett asked.

"I'm from Total Drama. And I'm here to tell you that you got the intern job that you guys applied for."

"Well why didn't you just say so?" Barrett said. "Hold on a second."

Barrett goes back inside to gather his things, leaving DIO and Red.

"Do you have any snacks laced with drugs?" Red casually asked.

DIO sighs with annoyance. Why did Chris always have to hire the weirdos?

Finally, Barrett returns with some of his stuff. He then talks to someone in the bar.

"Marlene, sweetie. Daddy's got a job he's gotta go to. You look after the bar while I'm away."

"Wow. Leaving your child in charge of a bar. That's parent of the year." DIO said, kind of shocked.

"Relax, she'll be safe. I gave her a gun."

"That is the complete opposite of safe!"

"Don't worry, it's loaded. I'm not an idiot."

"Whatever. Let's just get out of this slum before I go crazy."

As the three of them leave, we hear something going on inside the bar.

"Excuse me, aren't you a little too young to be working at a bar?"

Then the sound of a gun cocking is heard.

K-CHK

"Aren't you a little too old to be asking stupid questions?" The voice of a little girl asked.

"Ahh, she's maturing so fast." Barrett said proudly.

This was surely going to be quite an inconvenience for him. And whether he refused to accept it, he deserved it (and more) after all he's done.

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

So, I think we're off to an interesting start for this adventure. And let me tell you, this took longer than I expected. This adventure was so long that this is one of those rare occasions where I have to split it up into two parts. I hope you guys are okay with that, as I can't fit it all into one chapter. But I'm trying to take my sweet time with this. The second part should hopefully not take too long to make.

I figure I'll let you all know I had to do quite a fair bit of research to figure out which house everyone belongs to. And I really want to thank NondescriptNorbert again for proposing this idea and the advice he's given me to help make this work. His story is a great read, and if you haven't checked it out yet, you're probably a bit confused. But that's okay, as there's still time to get caught up.

This half was mostly for the setup that's soon to follow. I'm also going to keep this next part for the preview brief, as I'm exhausted.

In the next part, we see everyone adjusting to their lives as wizards. Some like Sora are gifted naturals. Others like Terry have no bloody clue what they're doing. After her friends notice how she acts around Iida, Susie spills her guts to some of her team. Waluigi and Isabelle will be forced to confront each other, Edgeworth will try and help his Ravenclaw friends from Endless with Conan's clue he left for them, and REG'S GOING ON A VIOLENT RAMPAGE?! What or who's gotten into him?!

And lastly, we'll see Gjira meet up with seven mysterious fictional villains for dinner, as he discusses a plan for them, Legion of Doom style.

And as for the other new interns we'll meet, I'll give you a hint at who they are. A doggo who loves fingers and a ninja musician who's always pissed.

Well, that's all for now. Until the next part, review and follow and all that jazz. And if you have any questions, my PM is always open. Until next time, this is MemeKing, signing off.
