Episode 15: Campers, Rollout!
Alright, everyone. We're now in the second half of the season. Anything can happen, and it's anyone's game. I'm excited. I hope you all are, too.
Let me get this out of the way. The last episode sucked badly. I'm not proud of it. I was dealing with some stuff, and I wasn't at my best when writing it. Things are better now. Expect this to make up for it.
Next, the reviews.
TheMasterKat: Deadpool really knows how to end things with a bang. I'm sure DIO will pay. He's got a hit list a mile long.
ThelastCyberKnight: I do love me a very meme worthy joke. It's fun to write Deadpool, even if he can be a pain in my ass sometimes.
1602jaw: Yes. It's all building up to the conclusion of an arc that's been foreshadowed early on. It all ends now.
MasterSaixus: Don't worry. This episode is really going to get crazy. And fun.
Happiness studios: Yeah, that wasn't my best episode. Probably my worst. I had lots of writer's block going in. I thought it could have been better. I'm not a perfect writer by any means. I'm glad you pointed out what could have been better. Thanks. I thought it was just me. I just needed someone to say it. Today's episode will really make up for it. You won't be disappointed.
NeverSafeFromWaluigi: You're right. Looking back on it, it was like filler. I liked the idea for the challenge, but I just struggled writing that one. I'm sorry it was disappointing. But I thought long and hard about what to do better, and put a lot more time and thought into this one. and this chapter is going to blow you away.
That guy: Rick has practically doomed them all again. And I like your predictions for the future.
Here's a little refresher of who's still in the game to help out.
Boys: Deadpool, Katakuri, Edgeworth, DIO, Edward, Geralt
Girls: Susie, Spinel, Wendy, Dororo, Cinder, Charlie, Tari,
Now let's do this. Let's get ready for another climactic showdown. You thought fighting a dragon was crazy. Get ready for them to fight a Transformer.

"Last time on Total Drama Infinite, it was a battle on the high seas with a real life Battleship game. It was an intense fight, but Deadpool ended it all with a….bang. Through some of his trickery, DIO messed with the remote Nana used, which was why the Vampires struggled. After that, it was no surprise that Nana was sent packing. And now, the merge has officially begun. What do I have in store for the remaining thirteen, soon to be twelve? Find out today on Total Drama Infinite!"

The next day after the team's were disbanded, Chris made an announcement to everyone.
"Attention, campers," Chris said over the intercom, "now that the team's are no more, it's time for a new arrangement. All of the boys will be sleeping in the Demons' cabin, while all of the girls will be in the Vampires' cabin. Besides that, you guys have the rest of the day off so you can adjust."
Inside their cabin, Katakuri simply sighed. "Great. That means we have to be closer to him."
"Lighten up, Donuts." Deadpool told him. "It won't be so bad."
"Says the one who is practically DIO's personal lapdog."
"I mean…" Deadpool begins to say, but falters.
"You mean what?" Edgeworth asked, looking from reading one of his law books.
"I mean I don't agree with everything he does!" Deadpool admitted.
Now this piqued both of their interests.
"So you're not on board with how he runs things?" Edgeworth questioned. "Does this have anything to do with betraying your former friend?"
Before this went any further, there was a knock at the door.
"Well, speak of the devil." Katakuri said, answering the door. "Or in this case, a self proclaimed God."
When he opens the door, the ones that come through are actually Edward and Geralt.
"Guess I was wrong. Well, it's at least nice to see you guys, unlike that monster."
"Oh? And who might that be?"
Katakuri turns around and sees that DIO was already in the room.
"Good to see you too, DIO." Katakuri said sarcastically.
"Honestly, I thought you were referring to yourself when you mentioned a monster. My mistake. That hideous mouth of yours and enormous size told me otherwise."
Katakuri was about to yell at him, but calmly took a deep breath. "You know what? I think I'm going to take my chances over on the other side of the cabin."
The pirate takes his belongings, and heads out the door to the other side.
"Heh, that's the best idea I've heard all day." Edward said, following suit. Most of the other guys follow the same idea, until the only ones left in the room were DIO and Deadpool.
"Hm. At least I'll have some peace and quiet." DIO said. He then turned to Deadpool and said, "Well, at least there is one person who has no problem rooming with me."
"Yeah, right…" Deadpool said nervously.
"Just keep the snoring to a minimum."
"No promises."
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
"What Deadpool was talking about was very peculiar." Edgeworth said. "If he doesn't agree with what DIO does, then why stick around with him?"
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
(Meanwhile…)
The girls, on the other hand, were adjusting a little better to this new arrangement. As the girls that moved in were getting their stuff put up, some of them felt a little uneasy.
"I think she's staring at us." Wendy whispered to Charlie. They turn and see Susie sitting on her bed, wiping her axe down with a cloth, and she was glaring at them.
"I've seen people give me worse looks." Charlie whispered back. "And it doesn't help that she and Cinder work with DIO. Although…."
"Although what?"
"I think she's different from them. I think she has some good in her."
"Having a nice chat?" Susie asked them. Though she couldn't hear exactly what they were saying, she knew they were talking about her. "You know, if you're going to talk about someone, you could at least say it to my face."
Susie's comment got the attention of everyone in the room.
"It's nothing." Charlie said, honestly not wanting to start a fight with her (Not that she can't fight, but just didn't want one to break out over something small)
"That's what I thought." Susie retorted. She immediately went back to polishing her weapon.
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
"Just because some new faces show up in my turf does not mean anything changes with me." Susie said. "I've come too far to let that happen. They're gonna learn real quick that they're in my world."
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
"Even though Susie is very…..Susie," Charlie said, "I believe she has a heart of gold deep down. Back during that Christmas challenge, she saved Katakuri from drowning. I think she had more of a reason to do that than to just win. Not to mention in that VR world when she helped in the fight. Susie is a decent person deep down. The wrong crowd just brought out a lot more bad in her."
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
"Eh, don't worry." Dororo casually told them. "She's just trying to assert her dominance. She says those kinds of things all the time."
"How about you shut it, runt!" Susie yelled. She threw her axe at Dororo, but she moved out of the way to avoid it like it was nothing. (As if this wasn't the first time she did this) The axe did hit Dororo's bed, but all it did was knock something off of her bead. It was the head of Blitzwing. It falls off the bed and rolls to the middle of the room. All of the girls take notice.
"Hey, what's this?" Tari asked, picking the head with curiosity.
"Oh, that's mine." Dororo said, taking the head back.
"Isn't that head from that one robot thingy?" Spinel asked.
"Yeah. I remember that they were called 'Transformers'. I managed to trick him and lop his head off back in the fear challenge."
"But why do you still have the head, if I may ask?" Cinder asked her.
"Well….," Dororo begins, "My plan is to sell it once this show's over, whether I win or not. Back where I come from, I'm sure people will view this as a valuable treasure and pay top dollar for it."
"You know, that's actually a smart idea." Charlie said. "For a kid, you're quite shrewd."
"It's what's gotten me this far in life." Dororo said with pride.
"I mean, it does look really cool." Wendy said, taking a closer look at it.
"That's real fine and dandy," Susie said, "But I'm sure there's more of those robot guys out there. Would be a real shame if they found out what you did to this poor sucker."
Dororo just shrugged that worry off. "Pff. If they're anything Like this guy, then I shouldn't be worried. I bet they're all a bunch of idiots."
(Boys Cabin…)
"What do you mean, "no?!'" Edward asked.
After they moved to the other room to get away from DIO, The hero's alliance tried to convince Geralt to join him. He was one of the few competitors left who wasn't aligned with anyone.
"It's a kind offer, but I'm afraid I have to refuse." Geralt said.
"But you'd be a very helpful asset. And frankly, the more people we have against them, the better."
"Don't misunderstand." Geralt told them. "It's nothing against you all, it's just that I prefer to work alone. I'm pretty capable on my own, And I do better that way."
"If you don't want to, that's fine." Katakuri said. "No one is forcing you to. I just hope you know what you're getting into."
"No one needs to worry about me. If anyone should worry, I should."
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
"I guess he's dead set on working alone." Edward. "I mean, it was worth a shot. But we still got loads of firepower on our side, and we outnumber them. And with no teams, they're not as safe as they think they are.
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
"As much as I applaud their cause, I have more reason to refuse their offer." Geralt said. "Even if you did manage to get rid of DIO and the rest of his group, what will you do next? At the end of the day, we're all still enemies. I'm afraid that once they achieve that, they will turn on each other. I don't want to deal with that."
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
It was now nighttime, and after an interesting day of trying to get used to these new changes, everyone was now asleep.
But something was flying towards the island. That something looked like a helicopter. It was colored gray with bits of red and black. The chopper hovers over the forest, and begins to transform. When it drops to the ground after transforming, we see a huge, bulky, robotic looking being with a massive arm cannon on its right arm, and an odd logo on its chest.
The robot looks around the forest until he sees a ditch in the ground. Walking towards it, he looks down and sees a body that's similar to his, but missing a head.
"No…." He growled. "Who was it?! Who did this?! WHO IS IT THAT'S GONNA DIE TONIGHT?!"
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
Everyone is woken up as massive explosions shake the entire island.
"What's going on?!" Edward yelled, rolling out of bed. He had his fists raised, ready to fight.
"It's probably Chris just playing a prank on us." Edgeworth said, just wishing he could get back to sleep.
"Maybe Deadpool found more explosives." Katakuri said. "At this point, I really don't care."
But they heard Chris' voice over the PA, and from the sound of his voice, it didn't sound like a joke.
"Would everyone please report to the mess hall quickly?! Despite what you may think, what you're hearing outside is no joke!"
"I bet you he's still trying to mess with us." Edward said. He wasn't buying what Chris was telling them.
"Whether he's serious or not, we need to hurry." Geralt said.
A few minutes later, everyone was (barely) awake, and gathered in the cafeteria. Chris was already there, but the most had a look of worry on his face.
"You better have a damn good reason waking us up in the middle of the night!" DIO said.
"Well sorry to disturb your beauty sleep." Chris said sarcastically. "But the reason I needed everyone here now is because we have an emergency."
"An emergency?" Tari asked. "What kind of an emergency?"
"Okay," Chris begins, "I'm not gonna sugarcoat things for you all. We're under attack."
After he says this, they hear another big explosion.
"Under attack?" By who?" Edgeworth asked.
"The one that's responsible for this is Megatron, the leader of the Decepticons."
This got their attention real fast.
"Wait, Megatron is here?!" Deadpool said. "Even I know that's not a good thing."
"Why is he here, then?" Cinder asked. "What reason does he have to be here?"
"Ever since Blitzwing didn't return, he's been trying to figure out why." Chris answered. "I've been trying to shrug it off, hoping he'd stop. I didn't think he knew how to get to Earth, but it seems he's found his way here. Now, I don't know how he managed to do it, but now we're in serious danger."
"But what does that have to do with us?" Spinel asked.
"You guys are going to fight him and send him packing."
This got everyone breaking out into argument. They didn't want to deal with this.
"Why make us do the hard work?" Susie growled.
"Geez, what is with you all and so many questions?!" Chris said. "The thing is, most of you are well equipped and capable to handle a threat such as this."
"You may be right, but what's in it for us?" Susie asked.
"Um, if something happens to me, or any of you, then the show's over. And if the show's over, then that means no million dollars for one of you."
That at least made sense to them. Well, more like the fact that they didn't have a choice.
"Alright, then." DIO said. The fact that Chris said they needed to get rid of Megatron gave the Stand user an idea. "But I got an idea that I think you'll like. Why don't we make this a challenge?"
Everyone was surprised to hear that, even Chris. Normally, the host would jump at the chance to turn this into a challenge, but was a little suspicious because DIO was the one making the proposition.
"As much as I love that idea, I know how you are, and I'm sure there's some catch."
"Oh, nothing too demanding," DIO said, getting a glint in his eye. "Just that whoever manages to get rid of him….WILL GET THE SOLE VOTE TO CHOOSE WHO GETS ELIMINATED NEXT!"
Everyone gasps at this. Whoever does it, gets to pick who leaves next?! This was a risky challenge idea, but with a reward like that, that might get them motivated.
Chris thinks it over for a few moments. "You know what? That sounds like a great idea."
"You can't be serious!" Katakuri said. "You're seriously going with one of his ideas?"
"I bet you wouldn't be saying that if you won that reward." Chris told him.
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
"As much as it would physically hurt to say it, Chris is right." Katakuri said. "Whoever wins gets to choose who leaves next. That could be our best chance at getting rid of DIO. In a way, we might just be able to get rid of two threats tonight."
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
"Oh, the great things that come from this mind of mine." DIO bragged. "Just imagine the possibilities of getting to pick and choose who gets eliminated next. As I said before, now that I'm here in the merge, I'm not holding back. So how's that to start this off?"
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
"Wait, what are you going to be doing during all of this?" Wendy asked.
"Well, I already got a bunker that Chef, the Ginyu Force, and myself, will hide in until this all blows over."
"Of course you do." Edgeworth mumbled.
"Before I send you all on your way, there's just one thing I need to warn you all."
"He's smart, cunning, brutal, and more dangerous than Blitzwing ever was." As he said this, he was looking specifically at Dororo.
Hearing all of this, Dororo gulped nervously. She'll admit, she was scared when she had to face Blitzwing, and now they're up against his leader, who is smarter and stronger than him. And how would he react if he learned she capped him off and plans to sell off the head? She'd be his first target. This scared her.
Dororo immediately bolts out of there, surprising everyone.
"Where's she going?" Charlie said.
"Probably trying to get a head start." Susie said. "Not on my watch!"
"Wait." Katakuri said. "We need to take this seriously. Whether we get something out of it or not, we must dispose of this threat as quickly as possible."
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
"I can't let him find me." Dororo said, sounding very worried. "If he does, I'm as good as dead. My best bet is to hide until this blows over. Hopefully, it does."
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
Now, everyone was outside, trying to figure out a plan. This was a serious threat, and they needed to treat it as such.
Katakuri was the one to take the initiative and lay out a plan. "I think that our best bet is to split up into groups and cover more ground to find Megatron."
"Okay, but how do we decide who goes with who?" Susie asked.
"Leave that to me!" Deadpool said. Using the magic satchel, he pulls out a hat with colorful sticks inside. "Let's keep this simple. Whoever gets sticks of the same color is your partner."
With everyone in agreement, they all reach into the hat and pull out a stick.
The ones that got the red stick were Charlie and Susie.
"Aw, crap." Susie complained. "I get landed with you."
But Charlie tried to let the delinquent's comment slide. "Um….glad to be working with you."
The ones that got the blue stick were Edward and Deadpool.
"Should be fun." Edward said.
"Of course it'll be!" Deadpool said. "This is me you're working with."
The ones that got the yellow stick were Tari and Katakuri.
"Hmm….I guess that's fine." Katakuri said, glancing towards the meta runner.
"Uh….thanks?" Tari said.
Next, the ones that got the green stick were Spinel and Wendy.
"Don't worry." Wendy said. "I'll try to help as much as I can."
"Considering how strong this Megatron guy sounds, I think we all have to give it our best." Spinel responds.
Next, the ones that got the purple stick were Edgeworth and Geralt.
"Are you sure you're up for this?" Geralt asked Edgeworth. "Seeing as how you're a prosecutor, and not a fighter, I'm hoping you can make up for that."
"I'm well aware I'm no fighter," Edgeworth said, "But I've had my fair share of difficult events."
And that left, with the orange sticks, DIO and Cinder. The both of them smile and give each other a nod.
"Isn't that just great?" Edward mumbled. "They're just a match made in hell."
"Okay, once we find him, we need to find a way to let the others know
Once that was settled, Deadpool pulled out walkie talkies and made sure each group had one. "Well, if the plot demands it, then here's our way to keep in touch."
"Alright, then." Katakuri said, ignoring the fourth wall being broken for the umpteenth time. "When one of us finds Megatron, call everyone and let them know where you are. But BE CAREFUL."
All of the groups then go their separate ways and begin searching the island. Except for one duo that still stuck around.
"Like I'll ever listen to that pelican eel." DIO told Cinder. "My first task is to find that little girl. She's handled one of them, so I must know what I'm up against. Also, I want that reward."
"You mean the one that was your idea in the first place." Cinder said. "That's a good idea. Imagine it. Getting to choose who to knock out of the game."
"Let's get our priorities straight." DIO said. "First, we find that kid."
"If I remember correctly, earlier I saw that she has the head of that last robot she went up against."
"Oh, she does, does she?" DIO asked, getting a new idea. "Change of plans. We find her and get her to give me the head."
"And just what do you plan to do with a head?" Cinder asked, a little skeptical of him.
"My dear, it's simple. We get the head, then we use it as a bargaining tool with Megatron. That will make the job much easier. We can finish this without raising a fist."
"That is, if she's willing to give it to you." Cinder said, remembering why Dororo kept it.
"If it comes down to it...I'm not afraid to rough up a child."
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
"Thank you so much for telling me this info, Cinder." DIO said. "This is why you are my lovely number two. Every god always needs a helpful partner by his side. She's a more valuable partner than Pucci. But I digress."
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
(Deadpool and Edward)
We see the two of them, walking through the woods. Deadpool was waving a flashlight around, trying to spot Megatron. Both were (surprisingly) quiet, and deep in thought. Until one of them broke the silence.
Hey, uh, Ed?" Deadpool asked. "You mind if I ask you something?"
"Edward was still busy looking around, but could still hear him. "Sure. Fire away."
"Okay, here goes." Deadpool began. "I've made a huge mistake. I wish I'd never joined DIO's alliance. I thought it would be fun, but I should've known it was a mistake. I had to stick around with him to protect a friend, but that backfired, and now I ruined a good friendship. And it's all my fault."
"Yeah, that does suck." Edward said nonchalantly.
"Do you really not have any advice to help? That's all I'm asking."
"Sorry, but I don't know how to help.
"Really?!" Deadpool pleaded. "You've never had any problems with friends?"
That last question stopped the alchemist in his tracks. It had him thinking about his past, and a lot of things he experienced. Especially shutting out people for a long time.
"Well….." Edward said, "I might know a little bit, now that I think about it."
"So? What is it?"
"Well, I don't know much about destroyed friendships, but I did shut out friends and loved ones for a long time. My reason being that I thought all I could rely on was my alchemy. But it took a while for me to see that I needed friends. Though it wasn't easy."
"Okay….but how does that help me?"
"My solution is that things take time. I'm sure Spinel can't be mad at you forever. You did it to protect her, but I get she doesn't see that. She's got some abandonment issues for sure, but things take time. Just like things took time for me, though it wasn't pretty."
"You know, you do make a good point." Deadpool said. "But DIO would definitely not like that. I seriously want to get away from him, but If I go against him, he's definitely gonna eliminate me and her."
Then, Edward got an idea. "Don't tell him or anyone else in that group, but I think I may have a solution. I'm in an alliance of my own, and we've been planning to take on DIO and his bunch. If you want, then join. They won't be able to touch you with the rest of us backing you up."
Now Deadpool liked the sound of that idea. "So who else is a part of it?"
"Me, Katakuri, Charlie, Edgeworth, Wendy, and Tari."
"Ah, now that's the dream team. Count me in. Plus, I'll be your eyes and ears to DIO. I'll be a great double agent."
"That's good to hear."
Edward then wanted to ask him for advice on something, but didn't know how to go about it. "Hey, do you mind if I ask you advice on something?"
While he did try to spit it out, but he was being a nervous wreck. All he could do was mutter elements off the periodic table. (This is something he actually does)
"Hydrogen, helium, lithium, beryllium, boron, carbon, nitrogen, oxygen, fluorine, neon, sodium-"
"Let me stop you right there." Deadpool said, understanding it. "I think I know what the problem is. Is this about...a girl?"
"Sigh. Yeah. Wait, how did you know?"
"Well, I looked back at some previous chapters, SPECIFIC ones, and I came to that conclusion. You really like Tari."
"Keep it down!" Edward shushed, even though no one was near them. After that, he calms down. "But you're right. I do like her a lot. But I don't know how to go about telling her. I don't even know if she feels the same."
"Don't overthink it." Deadpool told him. "Given you two hang out a lot, and I've seen the way she looks at you sometimes. Best bet is she feels the same. You want my advice? Make the first move. Girls like that. Or I could be wrong. Who knows Just wait for the right time."
"Yeah, definitely won't do itwhile we're looking for an alien robot tyrant."
The two of them then share a laugh, and fist bump.
"Yeah, we better remain focused and keep an eye out for him."
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
"You think you know a guy." Edward said. "Deadpool is honestly not a bad guy. He's crazy, for sure, but not a bad guy. And hey, we got a new ally with insider info. That's a bonus."
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
"Now I get to help a great group of people." Deadpool said excitedly. "Things are actually looking up. This would be what you readers call a turning point. I just wonder how the plot will thicken from here on out. MemeKing, you have quite the imagination with these ships."
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
(Susie and Charlie)
The two nonhumans were walking through the forest, with Susie leading the way. The two are quiet until they hear a rustling from one of the nearby bushes.
Taking the initiative, Susie chucks her axe at the bush, but all that runs out of it was a rabbit.
"Damn it!" Susie yelled in frustration. "That's the fourth one! Just show yourself already, Mega-trash!"
"Hey, it's okay." Charlie said. "I get you're a little on edge, but I think you need to mellow out a little bit."
"Now look here, princess!" Susie snapped, "I don't need someone like you telling me to chill out! You should focus more on killing that robot, not trying to be my therapist!"
"I get we're in a pretty tough situation," Charlie said, "But do you mind if I ask you something that's been bothering me?"
"...Fine." She huffed.
"Even though you act all rude and tough, but I've seen you do nice things that contradict that. Why?"
Now this made the monster girl's eyes go wide. She struck a nerve with her. Susie didn't think anyone noticed that. Those couple of times She helped out at the most unlikely times. She didn't want certain people to think differently of her. But what she wanted more than that…..was to make friends. But she'd probably just keep pestering her about if she didn't give an answer.
"Alright, if it'll get you to shut the hell up." Susie said defeatedly. "You probably wouldn't understand, but I…...struggle when it comes to making friends. It's harder than it looks, and I don't want those people to think I'm weak. Back home, I have probably a couple people who I consider at least acquaintances. When you feel like the whole world's against you, it does. With DIO, he just seemed to accept me, And I could wreck as much stuff as I want. But lately….I've come to realize he's a total psycho. I'm in way over my head."
"Yeah. He'd definitely fit right in with a lot of the citizens of Hell."
"My point is, it's got me thinking." Susie continues. "And that's something I don't do very often. Even now, explaining all of this to someone like you makes me feel….like….what's the word I'm looking for?"
"Vulnerable?" Charlie said.
"That's it. Geez, I've ditched English class too many times. But yeah, that's how I feel."
"Hey, it's okay to feel that way. No one's perfect. Everyone feels like that. And you confided this to me. That's what friends do. Friends go through all of that."
Hearing all of that, it finally clicked inside of Susie's head. Relying on them and vice versa, not to mention talking about their problems. "Oh...does that….make us friends?"
Charlie gives her a smile. "I guess it does."
Susie gives a small nod. "Cool. Just don't make a big deal about it."
"Don't worry. Now let's find Megatron."
"I just hope you're ready to fight when we do find him. Can you kick ass?"
"Well, does getting in a fight with a news reporter count?"
"It does in my book. Let's hurry up and thrash this invader."
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
"I never knew there was that much to her background." Charlie said. "But she honestly seems like a nice person once you get to know her. This is a step in the right direction. The things you learn about people from other worlds."
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
"Man, why did I say anything?" Susie said, looking back on it. "Was that right? Geez, this night is just too crazy."
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
Back in the girls' cabin, we see Dororo hiding in there. She's hiding under her bed, clutching the head to her closely. She was shaking in fear, taking in short breaths, worrying that Megatron was going to bust through the door and kill her.
Slowly, the door freaks open, and Dororo's heart practically stops.
"This is it!" She thought. "I'm done for. Game over!"
But what calms her down is when she sees the pair of legs that walk in. Those don't look like the legs of a robot. They looked….familiar.
They were yellow, with green accessories on the kneecaps, and pointed shoes. The only person that dresses like that is….
"DIO!" Dororo said, coming out from under the bed. The kid breathes a sigh of relief. "Thank goodness. It's just you."
But DIO wanted to get right to the point. The reason he was looking for her. "Let's skip the pleasantries. Where is it?"
Dororo was confused. "Huh? Where's what?"
"Don't play dumb with me." The vampire said sternly. "You know damn well what I'm talking about. The head. Where is it? Cinder told me you have it."
Dororo is shocked. He wants the head. But why?
"Wait, what do you need with it?"
"I'm going to bargain with Megatron." DIO explained. "He'll get it back as long as he leaves this island. Now….give it to me."
Given how she's helped him out with a couple of tasks and counting on her vote, he thought she would willingly give him the head.
But Dororo didn't want to give it up. She had to work hard to get it, and it could potentially make her money.
"No." Dororo said bluntly.
Hearing this caught DIO off guard. His eye slightly twitched. No one tells him no. "...WHAT?"
"I said no. I'm not giving it to you. I need it more than you."
"I don't think you quite understand." As DIO said this, his tone started to get darker. "Don't you know how much I can offer you? Give. It. To. Me. Now."
"No!"
Having finally snapped, DIO snatched Dororo up by her arm. She was now dangling off the ground with DIO having a firm grip on her arm. It hurt a lot.
"Now listen here, you little brat!" DIO yelled. "You don't realize what you're dealing with by defying me! I'll have you off this island faster than you can blink! I'm your aid as well as your ball and chain! GIVE IT TO ME!"
Dororo was still relentless. "No way! I can male some money off of it! And where I come from, that could help! Everywhere I go, it's war and bloodshed, and you have to risk your life just to see your next meal!"
"I don't care!" DIO said, refusing to sympathize with her. "Boo hoo. You have a rough childhood. So did I. Someone always has it worse. I outrank you! Now don't make me repeat myself."
Even though Dororo was in a lot of pain from having her arm crushed like a soda can, she continued to defy him by spitting on his face.
"Go to hell!" Dororo yelled.
DIO had been put over the edge. He retaliated by throwing Dororo to the wall like a rag doll.
"Alright, fine!" DIO said. "Then I'll have to take it by force!"
Outside the cabin, Cinder is seen sitting on the porch, hearing everything going on. After Dororo got flung, all she hears is crashing and stuff breaking. Not to mention cries of pain. She was not disturbed from what she was hearing, and was getting impatient just waiting for him to finish.
"You always got to make a point, don't you?" Cinder said to herself.
(Katakuri and Tari)
"I have a bad feeling." Katakuri said, stopping right in his tracks.
"Do you sense Megatron?" Tari asked.
Katakuri shakes his head. "No….I sense someone in pain. I feel that emotion of one crying out. And….I sense another one. One that's all too familiar." At that last part, the pirate shudders in disgust.
"That's oddly specific." Tari replied.
"It's got DIO written all over it."
As he said that, a dark shadow crept up behind him. Tari quickly noticed this and got scared.
"Um….K-Katakuri…." She stuttered as she was pointing up.
"Huh?"
"BEHIND YOU!"
Quickly, Katakuri turned around, coated his arm in Haki, and blocked a sword swing. He then jumps into the air, and turns around once he lands to get a good luck at who tried to attack him. It was Megatron, in all of his glory. The tyrant was holding his rotor blade. (Quick disclaimer. This is the Animated incarnation if Megatron)
"So….you're Megatron, huh?" Katakuri asked.
"That's right, you filthy organic." Megatron said. "Are you the one responsible for defeating my subordinate?" He then tosses in front of them the body of Blitzwing.
"Sorry, it wasn't me. Now how about you get the hell off this island?"
Megatron then aims his sword towards him. "No can do. Until I find out who, I'm not going anywhere."
Katakuri looks behind him and sees Tari on the ground, shaking in fear.
"Tari!" Katakuri said "Call the others! I'll handle him for now!"
Tari nods and fumbles around, looking for the walkie talkie.
Katakuri covers his fists in mochi and creates two giant rings of mochi floating in the air. Coming out from the rings were two giant, blocky, Haki coated farms. "Unstoppable Donuts!"
"So, you're actually going to fight me?" Megatron asked, taking a fighting stance. "Because you're fighting a losing battle if you think you can equal me in power."
Deep in the bunker Chris mentioned earlier, we see the host, Chef, and the whole Ginyu Force watching the showdown go down on the monitors.
"Anyone want to take bets on who stops him?" Ginyu asked.
"I'll throw in twenty on donut boy." Chef said.
"Oh, I want in on some of that action." Jeice said. "I bet Geralt will do it."
"I bet neither of them will do it." Chris said. "I have a feeling DIO is gonna do something to take the win."
"I'll go with the girl with the axe." Burter said.
(Meanwhile….)
Tari quickly manages to find the walkie talkie and gives out a message to everyone else.
"Everybody listen!" Tari told them. "Head to the northern most part of the island! Megatron is here, and Katakuri's taking him head on! Please hurry!"
We then witness scenes of everyone getting the message.
"I hope they're okay." Edward said.
"No way I'm letting Donuts have all the fun!" Deadpool said. "Let's hurry."
"They found him already?" Spinel asked. "I wonder how strong he is."
"I'm sure big bro is alright, but he'll really need our help." Wendy said.
"Time for some thrashing!" Susie said.
"Let's book it." Charlie said.
"I have a feeling this is going to be a tough fight." Geralt said.
"That's not far from here." Edgeworth said.
As Cinder finishes listening to the message, DIO finally walks out, with Blitzwing's head, and Dororo slumped over his shoulder. She was bruised badly, one of her eyes was swollen shut, and she was unconscious.
"The little brat bit me." DIO said. "But in the end, she had no chance."
"Good thing you finished." Cinder told him. "Because they found him."
"Good. Now lead the way."
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
"After all I promised her." DIO said. "She decides to turn on me. It's her loss, and my gain. Not only will I offer the head, I'll give her over, too."
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
Back at the fight, Katakuri begins by throwing punches with the arms coming from the donut rings. The arms mimic his fists like a game.
"Mochi Anemone!"
But Megatron tanks the barrage of punches, and in return, lands a devastating punch on Katakuri, launching him into a tree.
"Is that the best you can do?" Megatron taunted. "You're odd abilities can't compare to me."
"Rgh…. You're tougher than I expected." Katakuri said. "No wonder Chris made us do it."
Megatron looks over to Tari and aims his arm cannon at her.
"Get out of the way!" Katakuri yelled.
Tari remains frozen in place as fear overtook her.
Megatron takes the shot, and right before it hits her, something blocks the shot, and she hears two voices.
"How about you back off!"
"MAXIMUM EFFORT!"
They see that the two who stopped it were Edward and Deadpool.
"Finally made it." Katakuri said, sighing with relief.
"Thanks for the save." Tari said.
Edward then looks back at her. "Hey, I said before I'd help protect you."
"He looks so awesome up close!" Deadpool said, having a fanboy moment by seeing the Decepticon.
"Don't praise him!" Edward said. He then uses alchemy and turns part of his automail arm into a blade.
"And just look at that big sword you got." Deadpool said to Megatron. "Are you trying to compensate for something? Okay, now I'm done." He then gets his katanas ready.
The two of them, plus Katakuri, lunge towards Megatron. The three of them land punches and slashes from different directions. This actually manages to do some damage to him, but he swats them away with his arm.
After he does this, five shadows appear behind him. It was Geralt, Charlie, Spinel, Wendy, and Susie.
"What's this? More organics?" Megatron said, underestimating all of his enemies. "Do your worst."
"As you wish." Geralt said calmly. The White Wolf then uses his Aard spell, and blows him back with a telekinetic blast.
This was their chance. The blast disoriented him.
"This is your chance!" Edgeworth said. He was off to the side, since he has no fighting experience. That didn't stop him from helping and encouraging them. "Hit him while he can't focus!"
"Red Buster!" Susie yells, firing out a red projectile from her axe.
"Sky Dragon's Wave Wind!" Wendy swings her hand and generates a large tornado.
Spinel stretches her hands into giant fists and throws a whole storm of punches.
Charlie snaps her fingers and flames engulfs Megatron in flames.
"Buzz Cut Mochi!" Katakuri turns his arm into a spiked flail and slams him.
All of these attacks hit him at the same time, with Megatron taking more damage than before.
A split screen is shown with everyone cheering in celebration, thinking they got him beat.
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
"Now that is what I call the ultimate team up!" Deadpool said. "It looked cooler in person than just reading it, so you guys are really missing out."
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
When the smoke clears, their celebration is cut short when they see that Megatron was still standing. He looked badly hurt, but he was far from down for the count.
"Thanks for the warm-up." Megatron said. "Seems you organics do have a bit of bite to back up that bark."
"He's still alive?!" Susie cried.
"There's no way!" Charlie said.
"What is he made of?!" Spinel said.
"This might be tougher than Rick." Katakuri said.
We transition to the losers resort, with all of the eliminated contestants watching the showdown on the TV.
"This is all your fault!" Tatsumaki yelled, pointing at Rick. "You just had to go and tell him where to find him!"
"You better watch who you're pointing at." Rick said. "Because you always got four fingers pointing back at you. Matter of fact, I got a finger for you!" The scientist then proceeds to flip her off.
"Can we please not fight right now?!" 18 said to the two of them. "Nothing will change if we're at each other's throats."
"She's right." Joe said. "Unfortunately, all we can do is watch and hope they win."
"Don't under sell their strength." Russel said. "I know these guys can do it."
"Whatever." Rick said, taking a swig from his flask. "But if they lose and this planet goes to shit, then I'm gonna fucking cheese it to a new universe. So it makes no difference to me whether they win or lose."
"Way to be optimistic." Nicole said.
"I mean, they've gotten this far in the game." Elena said. "They wouldn't get that far if they weren't strong."
"Well, some of us are strong, but just cheated out of the money." Tatsumaki mumbled.
Back on the island, we see Megatron get ready to fire off another blast. Everyone was a bit exhausted from trying to damage him. But they try to land another team attack on him
They all try to jump him again, but Megatron isn't going to fall for the same trick twice. He knocks each of them with ease with only one fist. Everyone lays on the ground, in pain from his devastating hit.
"If none of you are responsible for the defeat of Blitzwing, then I'm done wasting my time dealing with all of you. Goodbye."
But before he gets to blast them, he hears a voice call out to him.
"HOLD IT!"
Everything goes quiet, and everyone immediately looks towards Edgeworth.
"What?" The prosecutor asked. "I didn't say that."
"No, over here!"
Everyone looks to see that DIO and Cinder, with an unconscious Dororo, had arrived.
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
"Late to the party, like always." Katakuri said. "What's he up to, now?"
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
"Enough with this fighting." DIO said calmly." The vampire slowly walks up to Megatron as he's talking. "I have what it is you seek."
He then tosses the head and Dororo on the ground. Everyone was shocked to See the condition that Dororo was in.
"What happened to her?!" Wendy cried.
"She….made a mistake." DIO said.
"You monster!" Edward yelled. "Now you're resorting to hurting children?! That's low, even for you!"
It's a good thing they don't know he's hurt dogs before. Such a terrible person.
"Who is this?" Megatron asked, pointing towards Dororo.
"She was the one responsible for your ally's...mishap."
But Megatron wasn't buying it. "Huh?! Some kid?! Don't make me laugh."
"But it's the truth." DIO calmly told him. "That's why I offer her and this dismembered head as an offering. I'll give them to you if you leave this planet. Deal?"
Now everyone was mad that he was just going to give Dororo over to him.
"How dare you!" Edgeworth yelled to DIO. "Selling out a child?!"
"Let me fill you in on something." DIO told them "Not everyone is born equal. A little nobody from war torn slums will not be missed. In a way, this is her fault when you think about it.
With every word he said, they all got madder and madder.
"How could you?!" Charlie yelled. By this point, she was so made that she was showing her inner demon. She had red horns coming out of her head, her eyes were red, and was baring her sharp fangs. "How can you be so cruel to her?!"
"Oh, what's this? The kitty has shown her claws." DIO mocked.
"Once this is all over, I'm so kicking your ass!" Edward said.
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
"That is, if we manage to survive all of this." Geralt said.
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
All of this is interrupted when they hear coughing. Dororo is waking up, and immediately winced in pain. (Her eye was still swollen shut). She looks around until she sees Megatron. When she sees him, she begins to back away in fear.
"So...you're the one?" Megatron asked.
"Get away from him!" Tari said to Dororo. "DIO's going to give you over to him!"
"I'm...not letting that….. happen." Dororo said weakly. "I'm not letting him...win." She grabs a nearby stick, walks over to Blitzwing's head, and quickly smashes it to pieces with the stick. This shocked everyone.
"What the hell do you think you're doing?!" DIO yelled. "Look at what you've done!"
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
"Didn't she say she was going to sell that head?" Wendy said. "I didn't think she'd destroy it to spite both DIO and Megatron. Even after all she's been through. That takes real dedication and guts."
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
"Never would've expected her to do that. Quite the bold move." Katakuri said."
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
"Looks like things are about to get crazy." Cinder said. "Now won't that be fun to watch."
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
"Sorry, but not sorry." Dororo said.
DIO was raging mad, but how did Megatron take it?
He was now towering over Dororo, his blade raised.
"You little brat." Megatron seethed. "Now you've done it. I could have had him back in action, and now you've ruined that. I'm going to make you suffer tenfold."
"Get away from her!" Geralt yelled. He unsheathed his swords and charged towards Megatron, but didn't get to do anything.
Why, you ask?
At that moment, DIO used his Stand to stop time. His plan had gone to the dogs, so it was time for plan B. He was going to finish him off himself, even though he didn't want it to come to this. Time to go all out.
While he had this time, DIO jumps up and comes crashing down on Megatron with a steamroller. (Don't ask how. You all know what's coming next)
"ROAD ROLLER DA!"
Once he smashes it into him, The World comes out. And barrages it plus the Decepticon leader with punches.
"MUDA MUDA MUDA MUDA MUDA MUDA MUDA MUDA MUDA MUDA MUDA MUDA MUDA MUDA MUDA MUDA MUDA!"
As soon as the time stop wears off, Megatron is engulfed in a massive explosion.
As everyone witnesses an explosion that, for them, happened out of nowhere, DIO stands in front of them looking triumphant.
"I hate when plans don't go my way." DIO said, a bit exhausted from exerting so much anger into his attack. "But it looks like I win."
The smoke clears from the explosion, and this time, there was nothing left of Megatron. (Before you all ask, Megatron was already weakened from everyone else's attacks. DIO just landed a massive finishing blow)
By the time this finished, the sun began to rise. Everyone was spent from their fight.
"Of course he would finish it." Katakuri groaned.
"At least….it's all over." Wendy said. "And look at the pretty sunrise."
"What a nightmare." Spinel said.
They all then hear Chris' voice over the PA. "Indeed it is! It appears as though DIO saved not only the island, but probably the entire world. Which means DIO gets to choose who leaves tonight. And on another note….sone chumps owe me money because I won the bet."
There was a bunch of grumbling in the background of his message due to the others being upset that they lost the bet.
After hearing all of that, everyone just drops asleep, being spent and exhausted.
(Later that day…)
After everyone had that small nap after that fight, everyone headed back to camp. Some of them were relaxing, while the members of the Anti-DIO alliance had met together in the boys cabin. Except this time, Dororo and Deadpool were there.
"Here, that should do it." Wendy said, wrapping some gauze around Dororo's arm. She was busy treating her injuries. "That's the last one."
"Thanks." Dororo told her. "And….I'm sorry. But DIO was right. In a way, it was all my fault. I was just being selfish."
"Its quite alright." Edgeworth said. "What matters is that you're okay."
"To think DIO would stoop that low." Katakuri said. "I don't know how much longer I can deal with him."
"I bet you, though, that he's probably gonna pick you to leave." Deadpool said. "You're the one he hates the most."
"I've already come to terms with that." Katakuri said. "I just know he's going to do that. I just hope you guys will be fine without me. Even though I promised to protect you all."
"Don't be like that." Charlie told him. "If there's one thing that this show has taught me, it's that anything is possible."
"Yes, the possibilities are Infinite." Deadpool said. The merc then laughs at his fourth wall break."But don't worry. No matter what happens, I'll help as much as I can, take DIO down, and right my wrong with Spinel!"
"That's good to hear." Tari said. "Having you would be helpful. You're around him a lot so he won't see anything coming."
"Just try not to let him know about us, or that you're a part of it." Katakuri warned him.
"Got it. I'll just be your average deadly neighborhood Deadpool."
"You guys really crack me up." Dororo said, laughing at Deadpool's craziness.
(Later that night….)
Everyone sat at the bonfire. Chris and DIO were standing in front of the others.
"While this wasn't how I planned the second half of the game to turn out," Chris said, "I still think it was very action packed and exciting, nonetheless. But a deal is a deal. DIO, it's time to make your pick. Who's getting the boot?"
DIO then scratches his chin, pretending to think really hard. Everyone was nervous in their own way, due to not expecting what was gonna happen.
"Ooh, decisions, decisions." DIO said. "So many threats, though my choice is obvious. I choose….."
….
….
….
….
….
….
….
Katakuri begins to stand up, accepting his fate, but DIO throws everyone for a loop by saying….
"...Dororo!"
Everyone gasps in surprise from this. None of them expected that.
"Me?!" Dororo cried
"That's right." DIO told her. "Maybe next time you won't tell me no. Your services are no longer needed."
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
"Is he out of his mind?!" Cinder snapped. "He had the choice to pick anyone, and he chooses some kid just to prove a point. He could have picked one of the bigger targets, and then he goes and does this. What is wrong with him? This...really makes me question his decision making skills."
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
"I want the perfect victory." DIO said. "And that kid was no help to me anymore. Bit the rest of them better not get too comfy, because they're all next."
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
After that, Dororo is loaded into cannon, and everyone sees her off.
"Bye, you guys." Dororo said.
"You take care." Charlie told her. "We'll miss you."
"Give your samurai friend a big hello from us." Edward said.
"Will do. I'm going to miss you guys. I hope you guys go far."
"Too bad for you." DIO told her. "And to think, you could have had one the-"
Before he could finish, DIO felt something was off. He started fumbling around through his pockets.
"What the?! Where is it?! My last Stand arrow! Where is it?"
Dororo begins to laugh a little bit and pulls out a Stand arrow. "Looking for this? You should really keep a lock on your pockets, pal. I bet I can make some good money off of this instead."
"Give it to me now, you little roach!" DIO yelled.
"Uh oh!" Dororo said. "Chris, you might want to hurry up and push that button!"
And with that, everyone watched as Dororo is sent flying through the air, vanishing from sight.
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
"Looks like she got the last laugh." Deadpool said. "Hope whoever buys it off her gets a really nice Stand."
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
"I personally think that was a stupid decision to choose her." Cinder told DIO.
"Don't you worry your pretty little head about it." DIO told her. "I know what I'm doing. Next, I'm going to leave that pelican eel and Fullmetal weak and vulnerable. I say next, we go for either that demon or the gamer. It will all work out in the end. Trust me."
"Uh-huh." Cinder said, having a lot of doubt in him.
Yep. Things were surely going to get more interesting from here on out. Yet none of them knew what was in store.
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
Wow. DIO straight up killed Megatron. Bet you didn't expect that.
Man, it was exciting to write this chapter. It was my favorite one to write so far, and I put a lot of hard work into it. I had this one planned for a while and waited for the right time to show it.
DIO probably pulled his most scumbag move, yet. At least Dororo got the last laugh on him. She was fun to write, and I wanted to wrap up her little arc. I mean, the kid has it rough, so I hope I did her some justice.
DIO may not realize it, but his forces are starting to crumble with Deadpool and Susie getting that push in the right direction. Deadpool is now a double agent, and Susie actually made a friend. Things are starting to look up for them.
But did DIO make the right choice by picking Dororo to get eliminated? Cinder doesn't think so. Who knows if this decision will come back and bite him.
I'm pretty sure that's all. As always, read and review, and my poll is still open.
Anyway, here's a preview for the next episode. Lately, I've been pulling ideas from my older stories (the eating challenge, battleship, and the treasure hunt were some old ones I used) This one is another one of those. The final twelve are gonna do a Mario Kart race. (I also have a Mario Party one coming down the line). The winner will get a handy prize, while the one that finishes last is out. But not before they make a great sacrifice.
That's all for now. Until the next episode, stay awesome. You all are great. This is MemeKing, signing off.
