Episode 15: Revenge of the Desert
Helloooooooo there. After a jaw dropping episode last time, let's see how crazy things can get from here
1602jaw: The title really does roll off the tongue. Zandrill is a really brutal guy. Especially following orders. Defeat is not tolerated under Gjira.
Guest: Who's to say we won't go to Magnolia at some point? It might be brought up there.
thenewsubwayguy: You're right. It was high time to shelve the Gjira plotline. Other characters can't really shine if he gets in the way.
ThelastCyberKnight: Balance is key. I didn't want it to get too dark and gloomy for all of it. But when it came to drama, this one hit really close to home.
TheMasterKat: I honestly feel really sorry for Tari, too. But Ed had to do it for everyone's safety. But still, Tari didn't deserve that.
SteelRobot: (I put on a tinfoil hat) Ha! Good luck finding me now! Jokes aside, I agree it was a bombshell. At least Gjira is off their backs. And Joe really needed a win, so I gave him one. He's slowly but surely improving.
TheHiddenAuthor5000: Well, it's more Gjira's fault. The SCP Foundation didn't necessarily cause it. But what's the connection?
Guest: Don't quite know yet if I'll have a challenge in Israel.
That guy: I don't think they'll be able to help. Ed's gone completely off the grid after he left. Tracking him down would be difficult.
NondescriptNorbert: In retrospect, maybe I should've toned down the dark themes just a smidge. From this point forward, the story has taken a drastic turn, with the previous chapter being the big turning point.
Monkeybot54: At least Gjira won't be bothering the cast for a while. As for Edward, Godspeed.
Ortizale317: Kiryu has plenty on his plate at the moment.
Happiness studios: Again, I feel I probably should've toned down the dark elements.
Now what's say we get this party started? Wait, there's no party? Aw, crap.
I'd also like to dedicate this chapter to Kentaro Miura, recently deceased author of Berserk. His last chapter he made was recently published His series was a big influence on me,and i hold a special place in my heart for Berserk. God rest his soul.

"Last time on Total Drama Infinite 2, things got spooky as our cast went to hunt their kidnapped- I mean, borrowed teammates in Romania. It got scary and real quickly, as some unidentified baddies started harassing the competitors. Especially the return of King Boo, though thanks to Kirbo, it was short-lived. But throughout all of it, Edward suffered the hardest. Not only did the villains' antics mess with him mentally, Ed let his mind run wild and began to lose himself. But through some encouragement from Rick, Edward decided it'd be safer if he left the show. What's more, he dropped a bombshell by not only cutting ties with everyone, but also breaking up with Tari. Such a shame, as they were my favorite couple on the show. Will Tari be able to overcome this heartbreak? What will Rick do now that his unofficial protege is gone? And will I manage to stop crying after this heartbreaking moment? Find out right now on Total Drama Infinite 2!"
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
Deadpool, Susie, and Giovanni were gathered together in the cafeteria, discussing a subject of great importance.
"Are you sure we're gonna be able to talk some sense into her?" Susie asked Giovanni.
"I only ask for help because as far as I know, you two are her closest friends left." Giovanni explained. "It was already hard on her when Beanie Girl left. You guys are all I got. I don't wanna see my minion so sad."
"Gotta be honest, I'm pissed at Ed for doing this." Susie said angrily. "Those two were sweet together, and suddenly Ed breaks Tari's heart by pulling an ass move like that. Not to mention he said he wants nothing to do with us. Why should I bother?!"
"We'll gladly help." Deadpool told him.
"WHAT?!" Susie said.
"I'm sure there's more to this than Ed let on." He told her. "But Tari is our friend. We need to help her in her time of need. I know what it's like to feel like that. Remember how down and out I felt last season when I lost Spinel as a friend? We gotta help her."
"Fine." She huffed. "But I'm still not changing my opinion on Ed."
"Excellent." Giovanni said. "Let's go."
The three of them stepped into economy class, and at the moment, Tari was the only one there. Unlike Terry, she didn't look like a drunken wreck. She just sat there, looking out the window. Her eyes were looking a little puffy from crying a lot, and her face looked a bit red for the same reason. But at the current moment, she was not crying.
"I'll get the ball rolling." Deadpool said. He then slowly walks up to Tari.
"Hey, Tari. You feeling alright?"
"Tari slowly looked at him.
"Oh. Hey, Deadpool." She said, "Look, would you guys please give me some alone time right now?"
"You've had plenty of alone time these past few days." Susie said. "Look, I'm no heartbreak specialist, but you need to go ahead and move on. Ed dumped you, not to mention said that he wanted nothing to do with us, so we all need to move on."
"It's not that easy." Tari replied. "It just all….. felt so sudden. I know he was acting weird, but I just don't get why? Why did he do all of this?!"
Tari then began to start balling again, so Giovanni tried to take more of an initiative.
"Maybe you guys should leave." He told them. "I'll take it from here."
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
"I must fulfill Fullmetal's last wishes, and help Bluejay through her heartbreak." Giovanni declared. "Of course, I can't let her know that part. I could never fill the hole he left, but as her boss, but damn it, I'm going to do my hardest to help!"
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
The both of them nod, and leave Giovanni. The wannabe villain sits next to Tari and puts an arm around her shoulder. She stops crying and looks back at him.
"I know losing Meggy was rough on you." He told her. "And having Ed leave out of the blue hurt you. It's unacceptable. But I can't sit by and let my minion wallow in despair. I will not rest until you are feeling better. You got that? I, Giovanni Potage, have a dream. To make sure my minions are happy. If I can't do so… then I very well can't call myself a villain then, can I? So I'm here To listen to all of your problems. Just know that you're not alone in this."
Tari gives the faintest hint of a smile.
"Thanks. That actually helps a little bit. It still hurts, though."
"I know, but one way or another, we're gonna get through this! You can move on, and you can still kick butt!"
Tari nods. "I'll try. Of course I know it's not going to be easy."
"Of course it won't. But that's what friends are for. To be your wings when you can't fly. And this Bluejay is going to take to the skies once more. Mark my words."
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
"Some progress is good progress." Giovanni said triumphantly. "That's villain rule number one."
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
"I honestly appreciate his concern." Tari said. "But this is probably one of the worst things I've ever been through. I'm hurt very much by what Edward did. In all honesty… I don't think I could ever forgive him for this, and that's if I ever see him again."
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
DIO sat in the break room designated for the interns. And much like he has been lately, he looked annoyed. Korone and Gura were also in there, simultaneously playing Minecraft on the TV together and streaming on YouTube while they chatted and laughed. Their laughter and noise made DIO irritated, as he just wanted to have some peace and quiet on his break.
"Suck it, nerds!" Gura said.
"I am justice!" Korone said in broken English.
"Do people honestly watch this crap?!" DIO muttered.
(Yes. They do. I watch them. Got a problem with that?!)
He stood up and proceeded to leave the room, leaving the doggo and apex predator to their game. He began to walk off until he bumped into Cinder. A grin grew on DIO's face at the sight of his lovely maiden.
"Ah, my darling Cinder." He said to her, "Lovely as ever."
"So, how's the job treating you lately?" Cinder asked smugly.
"Still shitty. But it does have its benefits. It feels satisfying knowing I, DIO, still have influence. I don't know who to go after next. I've narrowed it down between Susie, Deadpool, and Rick. Between those three traitors, I just can't decide."
"You know you made her quite mad, right?" Cinder interrupts.
"Come again?"
"Coyle. Your interference after Hogwarts really made her mad. She was dead set to get rid of Miu. Then you had to go and eliminate Edgeworth."
"He knew too much." DIO snapped. "I don't give a damn who that woman wants gone, that alliance of yours is there solely to keep you in. Starscream and I are just trying to exact some well deserved payback. Besides, it's not like Coyle knows I was responsible."
Truth be told, if you remember, Coyle had occasionally eavesdropped on them, and knew full well what DIO had been up to, but didn't care as it never messed with her. She was actually listening in on them right now. (But they don't know it)
"You three are the dream team." DIO continues. "You have nothing to worry about, and there's nothing for me to worry about. Just keep doing what you're doing, and I'll do the same. Now, if you'll excuse me, my dear, I need to get back to plotting."
"Hey, rookie!" Ginyu called from across the hall. "It is time for your dance lessons."
"Crap….." DIO groaned. "Anyway, I have to go….."
Cinder sighs, still having her doubts. But DIO does what DIO wants. This man would literally be like "The sidewalk is wide enough. Drive."
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
"Besides, it's not like Coyle knows I was responsible." Coyle said mockingly. "I do, you vampiric freak. I'm gonna get you back for getting in my way. And now, it seems like Cinder has outlived her usefulness. I think me and Harley might be better off without her.
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
"Yessir, I, DIO, still hold all the cards." DIO bragged.
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
"H-hey Miu, can I ask you for a favor?" Toko asked.
Miu, Rick and Terry were sitting there at the table. Miu was busy tinkering, Rick was drinking, and Terry sat there, looking bored. You know, the usual.
"What can I do you for?" Miu laughs at her double entendre.
Toko rolls her eyes and takes out her stun gun. "C-can you see if there's something wrong with this? It's kind of not been working the past couple of days. Not to mention I've been having some awful headaches during that time, too."
Miu took the taser from her. "Oh, sure. Let me just inspect this bad boy."
As Miu takes a look at the stun gun, Rick finally pipes up.
"You do know that electrical shocks cause some shitty side effects, right? Including, but not limited to, headaches, pains, dizziness, and emotional and behavioral changes. Maybe there's a, oh, I don't know, connection?"
"Okay, I see the problem." Miu said. "This thing is on the brink of short circuiting."
"What?!"
"Uh huh. You've obviously used this shit quite a bit. You overwork anything, it's gonna wear down. Go tell that to every horny guy out there. You keep using it so much, it's gonna blow an electrical load so strong it'll cause some serious injury."
"So what do you think I should do?" Toko asked worriedly.
"Probably be best if you *belch* refrain from using it so much." Rick explained.
"But what if there's a situation where I have to use it? Like those zombies the other day?"
"Then you better get creative." Rick spat.
"Whatever." Toko huffed. She took her taser and stomped off.
"Hey, we tried to warn her." Miu said.
"Geez, Rick. That was a little harsh." Terry butted in.
"And you're learning this about me now?!" Rick snarks.
"Why do you have to be extra rude? It's because you miss Ed, don't you? You two did hang out a lot."
"Pff, no." Rick said. "That little brat made his own choice. I just gave him a push in the right direction."
"Excuse me?"
Rick just realized he accidentally brought up that he had something to do with Edward quitting. They'd probably misunderstand and believe he suggested he leave just to get ahead in the game. But he tried to play it cool, without missing a beat.
"I mean, I just told him, if you want to leave, then do it. No one is stopping you. He was obviously having some issues."
"Really? You don't feel anything?" Terry asked.
"Nope."
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
"Now that Ed's out on his own, I need to now focus on what I want." Rick told the camera. "Don't get me wrong, I'm silently rooting for the guy. It's just that he's not my worry, now. Giovanni, or whatever the hell his name is still misses him. What a pussy. Man up, because that's real life. Don't get too attached to people. Because crap like that will happen."
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
(Later….)
"Today's challenge is going to be more of an easier one than the previous." Chris told everyone. "Due to some unforseen interferences that were out of our control."
"And by interferences, you mean that group of people that attacked us?" Iida inquired.
"Sigh. Yes." Chris answered. He looked upset at having been reminded of that. But luckily, we won't have to deal with any of that."
"So where are we going today?" Kiryu asked. "Hopefully not anywhere cold and eerie."
"Not to worry. The destination is literally the opposite of all of those things."
The plane then began to shake as they were in the process of landing.
"W-WHAHT KIND OF RUNWAY ARE WE ON?!" Waluigi exclaimed.
"Who said anything about a runway?!" Chris laughed. "This was too fun to resist!"
(Five minutes later…..)
By now, the plane had finally stopped, and the contestants were unloaded. All around them was an expanse of desert. Red sand dunes, sparse vegetation, and surely no people for miles, the whole nine yards. And what's worse, it was about 38 degrees Celsius out. (Around 100 degrees Fahrenheit). These guys weren't taking to the heat very well, and were sweating up a storm.
"God, I'm fuckin' dying out here!" Miu groaned.
"Where the heck are we now?" Terry asked as he tried fanning himself off with his hat.
"We're in Australia." Chris explained. "In the Great Sandy Desert, to be more precise. We're a little bit aways from Alice Springs, one of the biggest cities in the area."
"Can we go there and chill for a little bit?" Joe asked. "I think I'm gonna combust in this heat."
"Oh, you're not going there. Heh heh." Chris said with a mischievous grin. "You guys are going out on a trip to Ayers Rock."
"Cool. So how far is that?" Isabelle asked.
"About two hundred miles that way. "
Complaints and threats were all thrown Chris's way, but he toned it out.
"I smell a road trip!" Deadpool said excitedly.
"More like a trip on foot." Chris told him.
"You can't be serious." Harley said.
"Oh, I'm serious. You guys should be able to get there in two days by foot. But not all of you will have to go on foot. Since the Dark Fun Gang won the last challenge, I will grant them a jeep and gas."
They notice a shiny brand new jeep nearby, much to their delight. "Aw yeah!" The Dark Fun Gang cheered.
"And I'm willing to give the Aces a pity reward for this. Even though they lost the previous challenge, I'm going to provide them with some local camels."
Next to the jeep was a group of six camels.
(Apparently, there are camels in Australia. Found that out while researching this location. Didn't know that.)
"Well, what do we get?" Susie asked.
"Nothing. You guys have to make the trip on foot."
"Oh, you gotta be fucking shitting me!" Miu complained. "That ain't fair!"
"I think it's perfectly balanced." Coyle said to Miu, giving her a smug smile. "As all things should be."
Miu glared back at her rival, but then turned away.
"As much as he hates to say it, Waluigi's gotta agree with Miu on this one." Waluigi said. "Everyone else gets some handy mode of transportation for winning or losing last time."
"Since you guys didn't technically win or lose, that's why you guys didn't get anything. But I'm sure you'll figure something out."
"Hey, don't fret about it, guys." Deadpool said. We've got all the time in the world to bond during this."
"Only you would attempt to find a bright side to this crap." Susie told the merc.
"But before you guys set out, you need some supplies for the long journey ahead." Chris said.
Barrett comes out and hands each team a large backpack. Each one was filled with bottles of water, and enough basic food to last a few days.
"If you're not stupid, this should at least last until you reach Ayers Rock. There's also a map and compass in there to help you so you don't get lost. Each route you guys are taking are equidistant to one another."
"So you're still serious about making our team walk the whole way?!" Toko asked. "Are you mad?!"
"It's pointless to argue with him." Deadpool told her. "You're fighting a losing battle there."
"At least he knows how things run around here." Chris said. "Now, you guys had better get a move on, because the challenge starts now! See you all at the finish line!"
Chris blows an air horn, and Theo out of three teams scramble to get into their unfairly granted modes of transport. The Wolves groan as they grab their pack and begin to trudge across the red sand.
But what they didn't know was that a shady figure began to follow one of the team's. One that just broke containment, if you catch my drift.
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
"I still think this is a load of crap." Susie said.
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
(Amazing Aces)
Two hours had passed since they set out. The Aces remained mostly quiet.
That is, until someone broke the silence.
"Goddammit!" Rick yelled. "I just realized I left my portal gun on the plane. We would have been there already! Shit!"
"Guess it can't be helped." Cinder said smugly. "How could the 'smartest mammal in the universe' forget something as simple as that?"
"There's a difference between being smart and not being perfect. Get your facts checked, bitch."
The two of them then begin to argue with each other, while the rest of the team tries to ignore it.
Giovanni was busy knitting, but again took notice of his somber "minion."
"Feeling any better, Bluejay?" Giovanni asked Tari. The gamer was looking down at the ground quietly ever since they started the trip.
"Not really." She said glumly.
"Good riddance, if you ask me." Harley told her. "You don't need a man. I sure as hell didn't. I have friends that love and care about me. I moved on with my life with the people that matter. I'm sure you do as well. If I can move on without the Joker, then you can do the same with Edward."
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
"Is it just me, or is she much better at trying to help her and giving advice than I am?" Giovanni pondered. "Not saying that's a bad thing, though. She's a great villain. Big fan of her work, and I aspire to be a top tier baddie like her."
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
"Don't wanna see the poor girl moping around." Harley said. "I feel for her. Sure, I'm crazy, but I have morals."
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
"But do I have anyone else here who cares?" Tari asked.
"You've got me." Giovanni answered. "Besides being your boss, we are good friends."
"Guess you could say you've got me, too." Harley added. "You'd honestly fit in very well within my crew back home."
"Really?" Tari asked.
"See? We care. I know Fullmetal had his reasons to leave, and there's times where we just have to move on. But I can promise you one thing. I'd never abandon a friend, minion, or anyone I care about."
At that moment, Tari's eyes became determined. She knew full well she couldn't let this heartbreak control her forever, and the memory of it would never really go away. She also now realized she's not entirely alone. She has friends, even beyond her teammates. They care. And she didn't want to let this drag her down for any longer. For the sake of her friends, at least. And still, there was the game itself to worry about. She then began to grin sheepishly.
"See?! That's the spirit!" Giovanni said excitedly. "That's the Bluejay I know!"
"Gotta agree." Harley said. "You now look better than you've been in days. Maybe 'cause you've just been frowning the whole time."
"You're right." Tari said. "I'd say I've gotten over it. Mostly. I can't forget or forgive, though. But I got you guys. So what do you say we try our best to win?"
"Now you're speaking my language!"
"You done with your cheap ass hallmark movie resolution?" Rick quipped. "We may have an advantage, but we better haul ass if we want to win."
Tari rubbed the back of her head. "R-right. Sorry. Got a bit too enthusiastic there."
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
"Thanks, you guys." Tari said. "Who would've thought my only support would come from those who call themselves villains? Really makes you think, doesn't it?"
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
"Ever since Fullmetal left, Rick's been a lot more of a jerk than usual." Giovanni said. "He's completely acting like he's forgotten about him. I wish I could take a look inside his head."
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
As their camels continued walking, Coyle slowly guided hers close to Harley.
"We need to talk." Coyle said quietly.
"What do you want?"
"I believe Cinder may be conspiring against us."
"Hold up." Harley said skeptically. "Is this true?"
Coyle nods. "I'm afraid it is. She's one to be cautious around. It seems as though she plans to take us out next. Luckily, I overheard her plans."
"So what are you getting at?"
"The merge will be coming any day now. She will be too dangerous to keep her around then. We have to lose this next challenge, and vote her off. I don't think many people would disagree with us. She's not necessarily a well liked competitor."
"You make a good point. Let's throw that bitch under the bus."
"That's the spirit. Just leave the rest of it to me." Coyle said as she gave a nasty grin.
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
"You and DIO will pay, Cinder." Coyle said. "As of now, you've outlived your usefulness. You get in my way, you don't make it out unscathed. Harley will be a much better ally to carry. This plan will not get messed with this time."
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
(Hungry Wolves)
The Wolves weren't having a nice trip. They were all very much pissed about having to walk the entire way.
We see Terry at the front of the group, holding the map. "Hopefully, we'll make a lot of distance before nightfall at the rate we're going." He said. Their plan was walk as much as possible until night hit.
"Fuck you, sleep!" Miu curses. "If not for that, humanity would make much more progress!"
"I know, right?" Deadpool said.
"How are you not burning up in that spandex suit right now?" Waluigi asked Deadpool. He looked up and saw the burning hot sun, along with a few birds.
"Don't ask questions you really don't want the answer to, my friend."
"Y'know, it's not fair." Susie said. "I know this game isn't fair at times, but this is ridiculous. We're sure to lose if we're the only ones walking."
"If only we had some way to just appear there instantly." Toko said. "Like a magic trick or something."
"Too bad my teleportation belt can only go so far." Deadpool added.
"Wait! Hold the fuck up!"
Miu then immediately stopped walking. That conversation gave her an idea.
"What's wrong?" Terry asked.
"I've got such a kickass idea." She answered. "I'm gonna make us a teleporter."
"Oh really?" Waluigi asked skeptically. "And just how do you plan on doing that?"
Miu takes out her backpack.
"I've got all kinds of building materials in here." She explained. "Never go anywhere without some spare parts and pieces. While we're walking, I'm gonna use my fuckin' genius to make us a teleporter that will get us to finish line easy peasy. All I need is Dumb-pool's teleportation belt, and I can use the technology from that, and my Goin' Commando Gun, to do so. Then bang pow boom, we win, bee-yatch!"
"I see." Terry said. "If anyone can pull that off, you're our best bet."
"Are you sure you could really do that?" Susie asked. "Besides, we don't know how long it'll take."
"Puh-lease!" Miu said, shrugging off the worry. "You could tie me up and drip hot wax on me and I'd still finish in time!"
"WHAT?!"
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
"Ever hear of TMI?!" Susie yelled. "We don't need to know your damn kinks!"
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
"W-well," Terry said awkwardly. "If you can really make that, then that'll be a real big help for us. So let's keep walking. And miu, I suggest you get started on that teleporter."
Miu gave a quick salute. "Already on it."
Deadpool handed her his belt, and as they walked, Miu began to start deconstructing and building the belt along with metal scraps. (Even having a pair of mechanical hands coming out of her backpack to assist and support)
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
"We may be dysfunctional, but I know we each bring our own good talents to the table." Terry said. "We each can do what someone else can't."
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
"Glad these guys put a lot of trust in me." Miu said proudly. "This is shit I excel at. Keep watchung, Reg. I'm doing this for you!"
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
(Dark Fun Gang)
Kiryu drove the jeep as they were making better headway than the other teams. By this point, they were driving for five hours. Starscream, as he couldn't fit in the jeep, flew right beside them. All that could be seen for now was spinifex grasses growing out of the ground, and a variety of lizards and reptiles.
"You know, the scenery out here looks quite beautiful." Joe said, admiring the desert and it's flora and fauna.
"Too bad many of the creatures out here could kick your butt." Starscream said mockingly.
"Hey! I'm not that weak! I've gotten stronger!"
"You had to have Isabelle's up to open a pickle jar the other day. I rest my case."
"Would you please not act so rude and mean spirited?" Iida asked.
"How are we doing so far, Isabelle?" Kiryu asked.
Isabelle was the one in charge of the map. The secretary took another look at the map. "So far, so good." At the speed we're going, we should also have plenty of free time on our hands. The only locations I see here are some mining towns and aboriginal communities."
"Good."
"So I have to ask you," Joe asked Isabelle. "Things between you and Waluigi have gotten much better.
"It has, actually." She replied. "He told me he needed some time to think over how he really feels. Regardless, I'll be fine with whatever decision he makes when the time comes."
"Good for you two." Iida said. "Even if Waluigi does give me the impression of a trickster and mischievous scoundrel."
"Guys," Kiryu said, "we shouldn't be talking about people like that behind their-"
His sentence was cut off as they heard the engine puff and sputter. Kiryu looked at the fuel gauge, and to his shock, it was empty. As soon as he saw that, the jeep stopped, now completely out of gas.
Kiryu punched the wheel in anger. "Damn it!"
"What's wrong?" Joe asked.
"We're out of fuel!"
"What?!"
"Check and see if Chris left us any more fuel."
The team looked around in the jeep to see if there were any containers of fuel. Unfortunately, they couldn't find anything.
"Son of a bitch." Kiryu muttered. "Leave it to Chris to not be that generous."
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
"Hey, fuel doesn't come cheap." Chris said. "I had to siphon some fuel from the plane to fill that jeep."
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
"So what do you suggest we do now, huh?" Starscream asked.
"Guess we walk now." Kiryu said, taking their pack of supplies and beginning to walk.
"You must be joking."
"We've already covered a lot of ground driving. We should still be ahead of the others, even if we have to walk."
"I'm behind you every step of the way." Joe said as began to follow his friend. Isabelle and Iida follow suit. Starscream groans and then follows their lead. They also just left the jeep there, as it's pretty much useless to them now.
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
"I could've flown to Ayers Rock and been there already." Starscream said. "But I will not degrade myself by letting those organics ride me. I'm not sinking that low. If it were up to me, I'd ditch them. They're honestly holding me back."
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
(Hungry Wolves)
It was now nighttime. The Wolves had now idea how many miles they walked, but they knew it was a lot. They decided to camp out for the night, and got a fire started. They sat around the fire, drinking water and snacking on energy bars. During this, Miu was still hard at work on her teleporter, her goggles over her eyes.
"How's that teleporter coming along, Miu?" Deadpool asked.
"Better than I thought." Miu said as she continued to look down at her work. "I'd say I'm about forty-five percent finished."
"You know Miu, I gotta ask you something that's been bugging me." Susie said. "You didn't have anything to do with the voting when we left Hogwarts, didn't you?"
Miu immediately stopped working and removed her goggles. "What?! Fuck no! I was just as surprised as you guys!"
"I believe her." Deadpool said.
"What are you getting at?" Roko asked.
"I mean, whoever messed with the votes wasn't trying to save Miu. My headcanon is that whoever did it tried to take out Edgeworth."
"You're kidding!" Waluigi exclaimed. "Somebody actually managed to cheat better than Waluigi?!"
"Yep. At least, that's my belief."
"Guess I was a bit wrong about you, Miu." Susie said. "I don't say this very often, but…...sorry."
"Eh. It is what it is." Miu said coolly. "Now, if you'll excuse me, I'm going to get back to working on our ticket to first class."
"You know, I'm still worried about Ed." Deadpool told his team.
"Look, he abandoned us." Susie said bitterly. "He ditched us, broke Tari's heart, jumped ship, and is now out there doing God knows what."
"I overheard Chris and the crew are trying to find him." Terry said. "So far, they've got nothing. It's like he's gone completely off the grid."
"But why though?!" Deadpool pondered.
"Kiryu told me one of those freaks in Romania was looking for him." Terry added. "I can at least assume he's on the run from someone or something."
"Still didn't give him the right to treat us like an afterthought."
"Still so many mysteries about." Deadpool said dramatically. "Almost like it was perfectly crafted into a fanfiction that's basically one giant shitpost with plpt."
"Now you're not making sense again." Toko said.
"How about we get some rest?" Terry suggested. "It's getting late, and we still got one hell of a walk ahead."
"I'll keep watch while I work." Miu said. "You guys just get some sleep and leave this shit to me."
"Whatever floats your boat. At least try to get some sleep."
"Yeah yeah, I got it."
The Wolves all then drift off to sleep, save for Miu, as she tries to finish her teleporter.

(Amazing Aces)
The Aces had begun to settle down for the night. Their camels sat nearby, getting some rest themselves. Cinder sat awake, keeping a watchful eye on her surroundings.
She looked down at her team, and began to think to herself.
She thought about how much of an idiot DIO was, even though his plans have pretty much fooled or eluded these guys. To be honest, she didn't care about any of them. She only craved power, and always sought to look out for number one. Well, maybe DIO, but that was one big love hate relationship on its own.
Suddenly, she noticed a figure in the distance. The figure appeared to be talking to the plants. Cinder felt her sense of danger flaring, and if that proved to be true, she'd be ready to dispose of this threat.
Cinder slowly stood up and took out her flaming bow. She began to slowly approach the individual, ready to kill at slightest provocation.
Once she got close enough, she saw it was an Australian Aborigine male of Pitjantjatjara descent. He that looked to be somewhere between 57-71 years old.
"Who are you?!" Cinder asked.
The man finally noticed Cinder, and saw she was armed.
"Some call me Gaia's Emissary." The elderly man said in a calm and eerie voice. "Others call me something called SCP 992. I was talking to the spinifex, and she's very depressed."
Cinder still wasn't buying it. "Okay….. but why are you talking to it?"
The man simply pointed up. Cinder looked up, and saw a dark cloud. The shadow casted by the cloud engulfed the maiden, and she began to feel a raindrop. But it wasn't an ordinary rain.
The rain looked rusty, and upon contact, felt like it burned. Cinder cried out in pain as the rain hit her. The old man began to say vague weather events and prophetic messages of weather catastrophes. Her eye rolled into the back of her head, and he began to see these visions, and for once, began to freak out from the sensory overload.
She then ran away, and the man then went back to talking with the plants.
As Cinder ran, she continued to see weird and unusual weather patterns in the sky. She saw more of those dark clouds, and storms of flowers.
Once she reached her team, she kicked them awake.
"Get up, you all!" She yelled. "We need to get going! Now!"
"Huh? Whhaa?" Tari asked groggily.
"Hurry up! You don't want to get caught in the storm, do you?!"
"What?!" Giovanni said, bolting awake. "A storm?! Let me at it!"
"Get to the camels!" Harley said.
"Leave them." Cinder said seriously. "The storm has already got them."
The team scrambles around in a frenzy, unsure of what the hell is going on. The camels were startled by all of this, and began to run off. Rick, however, was unperturbed, as he knew full well what was going on, because he's Rick.
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
"Looks like she ran into SCP 992." Rick said. "The Foundation originally found it in this area. However it got out of containment is a mystery. It's basically some old guy that engages in esoteric philosophical weather phenomenon. It also fucks with your mind with its forecasts. Not all of them can be contained at all times."
"Wonder if Ed has encountered any SCPs since he left? Eh, who am I kidding? He probably got killed by one."
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
After a minute of the team scrambling around, things calm down.
"Wait a minute." Tari said. "I don't see a storm."
"Are you blind?" Cinder said. "Look above you. I felt it firsthand."
They all look up, but don't see a cloud in the sky.
"You really had me going there." Giovanni said, sounding relieved.
"What was it you said about a storm?" Harley asked.
"Cut her a break." Rick said. "It was the work of an SCP."
"SCP?" Coyle asked. "That's those things Edward was reading about, right?"
"I suppose…" Tari said. Now that she was feeling much better, she was trying her best to forget him.
Coyle pulls Cinder aside. "You shouldn't be saying outrageous things." She said. While Coyle and Harley were planning to throw Cinder under the bus, she still tried to remain on friendly terms with her so she didn't suspect a thing. "You'll put an unwanted target on your back."
"It felt so real." Cinder said. She then tried to act as serious and menacing as she usually is. "But it doesn't matter. Supernatural stuff like that should be approached with caution. I honestly thought that man was going to attack us."
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
"Wow. She just made it easier to drop her." Coyle laughed. "And now we lost our camels. You can't write this stuff. Saves me the trouble of what I was gonna do."
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
"Still wish I had my portal gun with me." Rick grumbled. "Could be worse. At least we're not going to Bendigo to get that damn cube."
(Please tell me someone gets this reference.)
"Well, now we gotta walk." Harley said angrily. "Isn't that just fucking swell."
"Let's go then, my minions." Giovanni said with enthusiasm. "If we have to walk, then so be it. We're wasting time if we stand her complaining."
"But it's still nighttime." Rick said. "Half of the world is asleep, retard."
"Whoa! Take it easy on him!" Tari exclaimed. "At least he's trying!"
"Exactly." Giovanni said. "Let's move out, my boys!"
Half the team groans as they decide to keep walking
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
(Dark Fun Gang)
We now transition to the middle of the afternoon. The Dark Fun Gang are miserable as they now have to walk across the arid desert. It wasn't as bad as their first challenge in Cairo, but this still felt really sucky.
"I think I'm gonna pass out." Joe groaned. Isabelle then handed him a bottle of water.
"Here. Stay hydrated." She told him. "I don't want you to pass out."
"Wait!" Iida exclaimed. "Do you see that?!"
Kiryu looks where Iida is pointing, and in the distance sees….. a white, giant, motorhome.
"A motorhome?" Kiryu said. "Is it real? Or am I seeing things?"
"Nope. I see it, too." Starscream said.
"Me too." Isabelle added.
"You think whoever is in there will help us?" Joe asked.
"Or if it's abandoned, we could steal it and drive to the finish line." Starscream suggested.
"Are you suggesting we commit grand theft auto?!" Iida gasped. "I'll have no part in that."
"Let's just inspect it first." Kiryu told them. "If someone is there, we ask for a ride. If not, we take it. We don't really have a lot of options, and our food rations are beginning to run low, anyway."
"Fine." Iida sighed. "I just hope you know how wrong this is."
They all walk up to the motorhome, and Kiryu knocks on the door. They wait a moment, and the door opens. It's shown to be a familiar and scrawny young man with shaggy brown hair, glasses, blue jeans, and big red sneakers. He also wore an eye patch. (I forgot to mention this, but he just wears it because it looks cool)
"Oh, it's you guys!" He said excitedly. "Remember me? From London?"
Kiryu had to think about it, but then remembered the guy. "Oh, right. You're that reporter. Zach, was it?"
"That's right! I was out here doing a report on an SCP on the loose in the area. My boss, Mr. Ginseng, will be quite pleased with the data I've gathered."
"Don't know what an SCP is, but do you think you could help us out?" Kiryu asked. "We're in the middle of a challenge, and we need to reach the finish line at Ayers Rock. If it's not too much to ask."
"Oh, sure." Zach answered. "Im on my way there anyway. Been curious to see what the landmark looks like in this universe. I'll give you guys a ride, on one condition."
"Name it."
I get to interview you guys. I'm a big fan of these Total Drama crossover competitions. My first story in the Universal Economic Journal had to do with one of them. You should have seen it. It was an epic battle against this witch for the fate of the world, and it put me on the map."
"Sure. We'll give you an interview." He answered.
"Sweet. Just hop in and make yourselves comfortable. There's plenty of room for everyone."
Now filled with a renewed sense of relief, the Dark Fun Gang hop inside the motorhome. (It was even big enough for Starscream to fit.). Inside, there was air conditioning, a fridge, sofas, flatscreen TV and Nintendo Switch, and a bathroom.
Zach sets it on autopilot, (Yes, his vehicle has autopilot. You can't find stuff like that in every universe.) And sits down with the others, taking out a pen and notepad.
"The readers are going to love this article." He said, having his own fanboy moment."
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
(Hungry Wolves)
The Wolves were now back to walking, but had a little detour when Deadpool got into an altercation with some dingoes. Scratch marks could be seen all over him.
"Hey, they had it coming." Deadpool pouted. "They were looking at me funny. Is it so wrong to open fire on them?!"
"I'm not even going to dignify that with a response." Toko said. "You'd be dead right now if not for that healing factor.
"Eureka, bitches!" Miu shouted.
"Did you finally finish, Miu?" Terry asked.
"You bet. Lo and behold."
Miu shows them her now finished teleporter. It appeared to be a large, flat, round disc that was colored black.
"Thanks to the technology of the teleportation belt and Goin' Commando Gun, I present to you my teleporter!"
"Have you tested it yet?" Susie asked. "Because I literally don't want this to go haywire and I end up as a pile of ash or some crap."
"Relax, I tested it on some animals." Miu said. "Works perfectly.
Miu throws the disc onto the ground. "It's big enough for all of us to step on it. I've already input the coordinates of where we need to go. Now get your asses on, and I'll activate this bad boy with my remote."
They all step onto the teleporter, and Miu takes out the remote.
"Better clench your asscheeks for this one! Here we go!"
Miu pushes the button, and the Wolves are engulfed in green sparks. In one big flash of light, they all disappear completely. Well, almost, but I'll get to that in a minute.
(Uluru Kata Tjuta National Park)
We see Chris and the plane just outside the entrance to Ayers Rock. Chris sat on a lawn chair, catching a tan. He's then surprised by a huge flash of green light.
Suddenly, the Wolves appeared right in front of him.
"Okay, did I miss something or what?" Chris said, taking off his sunglasses. "How'd you guys get here so quick-"
The host's jaw dropped when he saw the team before him.
"What?!" Miu said defensively. "I made a teleporter. Why are you looking at us like that?"
"Um…" Chris said awkwardly, trying to find the words. "I didn't think you guys were burning up that much in this heat."
"What are you talking about?" Terry said. "It honestly feels really breezy."
They all felt a really nice breeze for some reason.
"Would you guys just look down?!" Chris yelled, now covering his eyes.
They all do, and are terrified at what they saw. The teleporter did take them to their destination, but it didn't take their clothes with them, so all six of them stood there, completely butt naked. (Luckily, it was censored to TV viewers.
They all screamed and began to freak out. Terry tried to cover himself with his hat, Toko crouched down to cover herself, Waluigi tried hiding behind Terry, and even Deadpool wasn't keen on having his completely scarred body seen.
"Well shit." Miu said, not really bothered by her own nudity. "Guess I didn't factor in if clothes could teleport as well. Ah, well. Least we won."
"How are you not freaking out right now?!" Susie yelled.
"Hey, I'm comfortable in my own skin. I got tits and ass for days. I ain't afraid to show myself to the world."
"Oh god," Terry groaned. "At least Aqua isn't here to see this."
"She is watching the show, you know." Chris said, his back now turned to them. "But congrats on getting here first. You guys win. First class is all yours."
The Wolves all quickly scramble to the plane to try and get changed into some clothes.
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
"First I die, then I'm turned into a girl, then I end up naked on TV?!" Terry complained. "I just can't catch a break on this show.
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
"Thank God that's done." Susie said. "At least Iida didn't see any of that."
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
"Hey, I'm not fucking perfect." Miu said. "Not every invention of mine is a hit. You're gonna have a few misses. Guess that teleporter still needed a bit of time. But at least we won."
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
Hours pass, and now Chris sees a motorhome pull up in front of him. Zach and the Dark Fun Gang step out.
"Thanks so much you guys." Zach told him. " I have all the info I need. This'll be about five pages worth of news."
"Thanks for the lift." Joe said.
"Anytime. Well, I've got some business in another universe. You're not the only show I'm a big fan of."
With one last wave, Zach gets back into his vehicle and drives off.
"Well, looks like we got here first!" Starscream said triumphantly.
"Guess again." Chris told him. "The Wolves got here hours ago."
"Impossible!" Iida yelled.
"Hey, they managed to do it. But don't worry. You guys got here second, so at least you aren't facing elimination."
"Guess I can live with that." Kiryu said.
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
"Gggrrr! What kind of magic did that other team use to beat us?!" Starscream growled. "They had to walk!"
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
Another day passed, and finally, the Aces arrived at Ayers Rock. They all looked exhausted beyond belief. Instead of Chris, Gura was sitting outside.
"Yo, shark girl!" Harley yelled. "Where's Chris? We made it!"
"He got impatient waiting out here, so he asked me to keep an eye out for you guys." Gura answered. "Unfortunately, you guys are the last ones to arrive. Looks like you guys are sending someone home. Sucks to be you."
The Aces groan at this revelation.
"Well, crap." Coyle said with fake disappointment.
"Those damn SCPs." Rick snapped. "Well, this isn't the first time one of them has screwed me over."
(Later…..)
So it's decided, then?" Cinder asked Coyle. "We vote off Rick?"
"Of course." Coyle answered. "I already let Harley know."
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
"Yeah, I let her know." Coyle continued. "Let her know to tell the others to vote for Cinder, that is. Her behavior in this challenge and her likeability are really going to hurt her. But of course, that's not the only surprise that's in store."
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
Later that evening, the Aces were gathered in the elimination room yet again.
"All of you have cast your votes, and I gotta say, this is quite an interesting one." Chris said. "I only have five bags of peanuts this time. Let's get this over with. Please listen for your names."
"Tari"
"Harley"
"Coyle"
"And Giovanni"
This left Cinder and Rick. Cinder glared at him, while Rick looked like he didn't give a damn.
"Alright. Rick, I don't think i need to explain why you're in the bottom two. You're Rick. Cinder, you've shown before you're someone who's not to be messed with. Strong, smart, and could literally torch anyone here. The final bag goes to…"
…
…
…
…
…
…
…
…
"...Rick."
The look of indifference on Cinder's face didn't change for a moment. It then turned into a face of confusion.
"I'm sorry Chris, but I'm pretty sure you made a mistake." Cinder said. "You said Rick's name instead of mine."
Chris shook his head. "Wanna see the votes?" Chris tosses her the passports, and she sees that five of them were marked for her, while one was marked for Rick, which was her vote. Cinder looked at this in utter disbelief, confused at how this happened. Finally, she saw the smile on Coyle's face, and realized what happened.
"YOU!" Cinder yelled. "HOW COULD YOU?!"
Cinder charged at her, but Tari held her back.
"Things were getting a little too hot for us." Coyle said smugly. "You just got burned."
"Damn. The plot thickens." Rick said.
"Wait, so she wasn't plotting against us?!" Harley asked. "Geez, should've just told me the truth
"You bitch!" Cinder snapped. "I told DIO it was a bad idea to trust you!"
"Speaking of which," Chris added. "Cinder won't be leaving alone."
"Huh?"
"Bring them in, boys!"
Barrett and Ginyu bring out DIO and Starscream and DIO, both restrained with chains.
"What is the meaning of this?!" DIO and Starscream asked at the same time.
"I got an anonymous tip with proof that DIO has been helping Starscream get ahead in the game. That's a big no no. Starscream, you're disqualified. And DIO, you're fired."
"Impossible!" Starscream screamed. "I can't lose!"
"I'm ashamed of you." Ginyu said, sounding broken hearted about it. "I thought we could make a real man out of you. Guess i was wrong."
"Who the hell ratted me out?!" DIO demanded.
"Oopsie." Coyle said menacingly. "You should know better than to spill secrets when I'm hiding around."
DIO gasped. "You son of a bitch! How could I fail to a mortal like you?!"
Coyle gave them another grin. "Because I'm the baddest brain around."
"Do you know who I am?! I am DIO! No one is better than me!"
"Come on, give me another chance!" Starscream pleaded. "I do not accept defeat! I have no equal!"
Cinder turned her head and saw that the Wolves were watching this whole spectacle.
"Damn. Quite a plot twist." Deadpool mused. "Sorry, we just couldn't miss the show. Figured this would be a big one."
"You!" Cinder said to Miu. "I know you have beef with her. So at the very least, all I ask is that you take her down. Or any of you for that matter!"
"I don't give a damn!" DIO said. " I don't want any of them to win!"
Chris gives Cinder a parachute, and kicks all three of them out of the plane at the same time. Three screams could be heard as the villainous trio took their exit from the game.
"I'm still trying to process all of this." Tari said, feeling a bit overstimulated from all of this.
"Look at it this way." Coyle told her. "I just got rid of some really powerful threats from the game"
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
"No…" Rick said. "She just proved who's the top dog around here."
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
"Geez, I don't know if I'd ever feel bad for people like Cinder and DIO." Deadpool said. "In cliche trope terms, this was really a power move by Coyle."
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
"My biggest plan thus far, succeeded." Coyle said triumphantly. "Balance has been restored, and now no one will bother me again. I'll still keep Harley around with me for now, but we all know there can only be one winner. The main course is finished, and just like in the ARMS league, no one can really oppose me. I dare all of them to DO. THEIR. WORST."
She then gives off a cliche mad scientist laugh.
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
Well. I think this is really going to shake things up. We go from one shocking moment in Ed's departure to this. The two biggest villains in the show just got played. Let me just say I apologize for this chapter being a bit shorter than normal, or if something felt more fast paced than normal. I had a lot of writer's block going into this one, but I didn't want certain things to drag out. Really glad to put this one behind me.
She finally did it. Coyle finally turned the tables on all the other big threats, and really is top dog, now. Her ego knows no bounds. Although I will admit we will get a glimpse into her past soon and understand why she is this way.
While it's a bit weird to see Cinder and Starscream go, looks DIO ended up outsmarted again. Hey, at least he doesn't have to deal with being an intern anymore. But then again, the other interns have it easy compared to him. I can say he won't be missed. It's not like he did his job well, anyway.
At least now, thanks to the help of some friends, Tari has mostly gotten over her break up with Edward. I took some advice with what happened when Terry was down in the dumps, and decided to not draw it out for too long or make it too melodramatic. But who knows, maybe the two of them will see each other again.
And it seems like Toko is having a bit of issues after switching to Genocide Jack so much. I know it didn't get a lot of focus in the episode, but I got more up my sleeve. Don't you worry.
Well, I figure I should explain to you all that we are now three episodes away from the merge. Ooh, I can't wait to see who will make it. I'd honestly like to know who you guys are rooting for.
Here's what's in store for next time. It's time to raise up arms in Los Santos, as each team must join one of two gangs. Why two? Because I'm going to turn three teams into two. One of them is getting a little too small. Anyways, they will be joining some of the most notorious gangs from Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas. Watch as they try to invade the neighborhood, bond with each other, and maybe grab a bite to eat at Cluckin' Bell. But they must be careful as well, because SWAT members, cops, and the FBI members will make the challenge even harder.
But before all of that, we're gonna get a special little bonus chapter, and see how Edward has been doing since he left the show. I will say though, he have just gotten involved with a new shady crowd.
Well, that's all for now. As usual, review, share your thoughts, follow, and spread the word. Thanks so much to all of you. Until next time, this is MemeKing, signing off.
