Episode 24: The Final Throwdown!
Ladies and gents, here we are. The season finale. After almost eight months of hard work, we finally made it. There were some ups and downs along the way, and it's been a hectic year for all of us. But I just want to thank you all again for sticking around this long. After so many eliminations, love, despair, and fourth wall breaks, it's time to make like a bow and wrap this up. I'll be responding to reviews that aren't only veteran reccommendations.

"This season, on Total Drama Infinite, I decided to shake things up by inviting twenty-six competitors from all across the fictional multiverse for a shot at the million dollars. With each and every tough challenge, each competitor fell one by one. And now, we are down to only three competitors. Spinel, the fun loving and carefree gem. Edward, the smart and hot blooded alchemist. And Wendy, the kind and hard working wizard. These three triumphed and did what no one else could, and by the end of the day, one of them is gonna walk away with the cash. Who's gonna be the one to win it all? Find out today on the season finale of Total Drama Infinite!
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
"Welcome back to our finale." Chris said. The host was now standing at the bonfire. "As the final challenges are being set up, our three finalists are waiting, filled with anticipation and nervousness. Let's have a recap of each contender, and their journey here, starting with the one who earned a spot in the final two, Edward!"
Scenes of Ed's best moments and feats across the season are shown. We are shown in the first challenge when he used his alchemy knowledge to craft a hot tub, helping an enemy team out of quicksand, giving Shredder a beatdown in the prison, showing some moments between him and Tari, and of course some of his freak outs due to his insecurity about his height.
"Edward has shown time and time again just how much brains and utility he's got at his disposal. While he's very capable in a fight and his alchemic knowledge are second to none, he still suffers a few fatal flaws. The glaring flaw appears to be his hair trigger temper about his height, but he's also known to get cocky and show off, which can backfire. As long as he stays focused on the task at hand, he could come out on top."
Next footage was shown of Spinel and her feats. We see Spinel facing her fears by spending "500" years in isolation, her lack of taste buds helping her win the eating challenge, travelling to another fanfiction no less, and the antics her and Deadpool get into.
"Spinel has shown that not everything has to be taken so seriously. This 'eager to make friends' individual has treated the competition like a game and overcame betrayal and loneliness. She's shown to be resilient and bounce back from trouble in more ways than one. Her biggest obstacle is that she can be a little too carefree and goofy at times. If she wants to win, then she'll need to be more serious than she's ever been."
Next, footage of Wendy was shown. Her fights towards Rick, Broly, and DIO are displayed. She's shown laughing with her friends, riding Dragonite, and dealing with motion sickness.
"Wendy is a strong and kind girl. She's known to try her best and help whenever possible. On top of her Dragon Slayer magic, she's learned a technique known as Haki from Katakuri during her time on the show. She's honest and very open with her emotions, but she tends to doubt her skills and insecurities, and is more of a pacifist at heart, only wanting to fight if it's for the sake of her friends. Let's hope that can-do attitude of hers will be enough."
"And while we're setting up the challenges these three will face today, let's hear it from these finalists themselves how they feel about it."
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
"Wow." Edward said with surprise. "Just wow. I managed to snag a spot in the finals. No matter how many times I realize it's true, it still feels so unreal. But now that I have, I feel that all of that hard work is finally going to pay off. As much as I like these guys, I'm sorry. But you gotta go down."
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
"My time has finally come!" Spinel said, trying to sound dramatic. "Was that a bit too much? Anyway, I'm so excited to have made it this far. Anything this show has dished out, I can handle. So let's give it one more big hurrah and win this shebang!"
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
"Here I am at last." Wendy said. "Never in my wildest dreams did I ever think I could make it to the end. It was tough, but I don't regret it. I made some great friends, and even got stronger while I was at it. I owe it to Katakuri for helping me get there, and teaching me never give up when things get tough. All I need to do now is beat Spinel, and then Ed. I know I can do this. Sorry you two, but I came to win."
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
Ginyu was even leading Wendy and Spinel through the woods. The two girls were not sure where they were heading, but anticipating something big.
"Are we almost there yet?" Spinel groaned. "I mean, to wherever it is you're taking us?"
"Don't worry, we're almost there." Ginyu reassured her. "Me and my men were up all night getting these challenges prepared. It's really gonna put you all to the test."
"Oh." Wendy said. Suddenly, the wizard had a question. "Wait a minute. Where's Ed?"
"Oh, the blond guy with the metal arm? He's currently somewhere else, waiting for the two of you to complete your challenge before you can take him on."
After a few more minutes of walking, the trio finally find Chris. The host was standing in front of the base of an insanely huge cliff face. The cliff seemed to extend high in the sky. On it, there seemed to be clusters of dynamite, oil slicks, and sharp, jagged spikes poking out of it. Yep, this cliff would be a rock climber's worst nightmare.
"Welcome, my finalists." Chris greeted. "I congratulate the both of you for reaching the finale."
"Well, you didn't make it easy." Spinel pointed out. "I mean, treasure hunting, sports, dragon slaying, ghost busting, battleships, Pokemon, and Decepticons? How much crazier can it get from here?"
"Hopefully not too crazy." Wendy said.
"For our finales, we like to go big or go home." Chris said. "So expect big and crazy. But before the main event, we need to decide which of you is gonna earn the right to face Edward. I call this 'Cliffhanger' At the top of this cliff, our favorite alchemist waits, along with all of your eliminated cohorts."
"The others are here?!" Wendy asked.
"Yep." Chris answered. "They're all up there. But before that, you two are going to race each other up the cliff. Whoever reaches the top first will move on to the final challenge against Edward."
The two of them took another good look at the cliff. It was a long ways up, all right. That's gonna be one heck of a climb.
"Oh man…." Wendy groaned. "That's really high up."
"Shouldn't be a problem for a Sky Dragon Slayer." Chris retorted. "But the real problem stems from how dangerous the climb itself will be. We've got all sorts of obstacles to get in your way. From mines, to slippery oil slicks, not to mention today's…..forecast." Chris chuckled to himself at that last part.
"Forecast?" Spinel said with a puzzled look on her face. "You trying to send us mixed messages or something?"
"All will make sense soon enough. And don't be afraid to get in the other's way. This'll stir up the drama."
"Well then," Wendy said. The mage turned to Spinel and held out her hand. "Good luck. May the better man win."
"Right back at ya." Spinel said, shaking her hand.
"Enough with the friendliness." Chris said, rolling his eyes. "The both of you, take your positions!"
Wendy and Spinel both take a running stance as Chris gets ready to start the challenge.
"Now, on your mark….."
Wendy began to sweat nervously as she looked at the cliff.
"Get set….."
Spinel looked unfazed as she had a serious look of determination on her face.
"GO!"
And just like that, the first part of the final challenge had begun.
Not wasting a single second, the two of them make a dash for the cliff and start climbing. Both kept their focus on the race, but occasionally glanced over at each other. Though they wished each other luck, they were wondering when the other was gonna make a move and try to knock them down, or if they were even planning to. With a cliff this size, you can't afford to fall and get behind.
Most of the obstacles like the jagged rocks and dynamite were easily avoided.
"You know, for the last challenge, this is pretty lacking." Spinel said, looking down at the host. "You must be losing your touch, Chris."
But as she said this, she wasn't paying attention, and her foot hit a mine. This caused a big explosion that engulfed the gem.
Wendy's eyes went wide as immediately stopped climbing and saw Spinel basically get blown up. When the smoke clears, Wendy breathed a sigh of relief as her opponent was mostly unharmed, just dangling from where she held on. But the explosion pushed the rest of her body back, bouncing up and down like yo-yo due to her body's stretchy properties.
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
"Pff, that was nothing." Spinel said as she was laughing the pain off. "I've been through worse. And most of that was on this show."
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
"Don't worry about me!" Spinel shouted to Wendy. "Focus more on the race! And yourself!"
Spinel was right. As much as Wendy was concerned about her opponent's safety, this was a race. Even though caring about others was in her nature, she remembered there was one reason she came on this show: To win some fat cash. Wendy took the advice and continued to climb up the cliff. Only now, there was a new problem to deal with.
The entire cliff began to shake, almost as if an earthquake had struck the island. Both Wendy and Spinel were holding on for dear life as they thought this shaking was gonna knock them off.
"How do you guys like this?!" Chris said from down below. He was using a megaphone so that they could hear him. "Today's first forecast calls for a high magnitude earthquake! I'd hold on tight and persevere if I were you!"
Although it was easy for them to hang on while the cliff was shaking, it was a lot harder to move, since that's the easiest time to lose your balance and fall. And that's what they did. Reaching out their hands to climb further, the Both of them stumbled and fell. Well, they didn't fall too far, as they both managed to grab back on before they fell too far.
"Urgh….. I'm not giving up that easily!" Spinel grunted as they try to make up for the distance she lost. During all of this, the mountain still continued to shake and vibrate. Only this time, the two of them were doing their best to not get shook off during their ascent.
"I really hate Chris." Wendy groaned.
"Don't we all?" Spinel said.
And it was at this moment that the next obstacle appeared to stand in their way. Down below, Ginyu calls something out.
"Men, commence the second salvo!"
Boulders began to fall from the sky, rolling down from above, and rolling along the face of the cliff. Both Wendy and Spinel try leaping to the side to avoid getting crushed.
"Is he crazy?!" Wendy cried.
But it didn't stop there. The rolling boulders triggered the explosive mines, causing a chain reaction of explosions all over. All around, you could see falling boulders and explosions.
But these girls kept trying their best to avoid these obstructions, and managed to keep climbing up. By this point, they were both halfway up, and were still neck and neck. Unfortunately, it got much much more dangerous.
Now other objects began to fall from up above. Anvils, dressers, old TVs, trees, pianos, and even a minivan.
"Where's all of this coming from?!" Wendy asked.
At the top of the cliff, Ginyu's men were throwing down every possible item that they could find.
"These should knock 'em back down to earth in more ways than one." Guldo snickered as he threw down a bookcase.
"Step aside, boys!" Recoome said, hauling in an eighteen wheeler. "This'll stop them in their tracks!"
"Now that's overkill." Burter said with astonishment. "But I like it!"
Wendy watches in horror as a massive 18 wheeler truck starts falling down towards Spinel.
"Hey! Look out!"
The weirdest part about it? Spinel didn't look worried at all. She had a cheeky grin on her face. She didn't even try to move out of the way.
As soon as the front of the truck hit her, her body began to stretch down really far from the impact. With a loud "BOING!", her body snaps back into place, sending the truck flying high from the recoil. The truck is seen flying high through the sky, and out of sight. Where did it fly to? Who knows?
"Wow. You don't see that everyday." Ginyu said.
"No, you don't, my man." Chris said. "No, you don't."
Spinel was seen laughing from what she just went through. "BWA HAHAHAHAHA! That was a fun game! Can you guys do it again?!"
"I made it!" A voice gasped.
Hearing the voice from up above, Spinel noticed that Wendy had just managed to get past her and made it to the top while Spinel was distracted playing slingshot with a truck.
Wendy made it to the top of the cliff, and was lying face down on the ground panting with exhaustion.
"And she's done it!" Chris announced. "Wendy won the Cliffhanger challenge! Which means she's facing Edward in the final two!"
Wendy gets up and dusts herself off. The mage looks down at Spinel
"Aww. I lost." Spinel pouted. Though she didn't like that she lost, she was happy for Wendy. She gave it her all, but Wendy proved to be the better man. Still, she had a good run.
A minute later, Spinel finishes climbing up the cliff, and wishes to congratulate Wendy.
"Sorry you lost." Wendy said.
"Hey, it's nothing." Spinel replied. "You deserve it. If I was gonna lose to anyone, then I'm glad it was you."
"Thanks. You were pretty good yourself."
"Hey, at least it'll be fun to watch you and Ed kick butt."
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
I mean, she did do pretty amazing." Spinel said. "I may have lost, but I had tons of fun. I even made some good friends along the way. That was the reason I joined this show in the first place. Honestly, I don't know what I could use a million dollars for."
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
"I know I should feel happy, but now I got butterflies in my stomach." Wendy said. "I'm just one step closer, and it still feels so surreal. The anticipation is making me nervous. It's just down to me and Ed. One last challenge to end them all. Whatever it is. I just hope it's not as deadly as that cliff climbing."
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
"Kudos to you, Wendy." Chris said. "You're moving on to the final two to take on Edward for the million dollars. Spinel, you lost the race, so you know the drill. You're out."
Spinel shrugs like it's no problem.
"Now that Wendy moves on to the finals, let's move this to where the real fun begins. And where your final opponent awaits. The both of you, come with me."
So Wendy and Spinel both follow Chris until they reach a clearing. Two sets of bleachers were seen. The Ginyu Force were setting up banners for each one. The one on the right was red with Edward's face, while the other one was blue and had Wendy's face on it. Sitting on the red bleachers was Edward, who looked bored. That is, until he saw Chris and the others coming.
"Hey, good job, Wendy." Ed said, walking up to congratulate her. "Glad to have you as my opponent."
"Good luck, you two." Spinel said. "Give us a show we'll never forget."
"On that note, Spinel, please take a seat for the finalist you're rooting for." Chris said.
Giving the host a thumbs up, Spinel immediately walks over and sits on Ed's side of the bleachers.
"Even though I like you guys, I gotta give it to Ed." Spinel said. "Hope there's no hard feelings, Wendy."
"It's okay." Wendy reassured.
"Now that that's out of the way, let's get these bleachers filled with your cheering squads." Chris said.
(I'm introducing each contestant based on elimination order)
The finalists look as the first competitor appeared.
"First up, we have King Harkinian!"
The very manic King came out and waved to the camera, still carrying his Dinner Blaster Mark II-DBZ-9000. The King walks over and sits on Wendy's side.
"Next up, we have Sora!"
The Keyblade warrior sat at Ed's side, and waved to the finalists.
"Next up, Tatsumaki!"
The esper floats in and sits on Wendy's side, not looking real into it.
"Next, we have Nicole!"
The very determined mother smiled at the camera as she sat at Wendy's side.
"Introducing these two together, it's Popo and Nana!"
The frosty duo jump out, waving flags with Ed's face on them to show their support, and sit at his side.
"Next is a surprising fan favorite, Glass Joe!"
The boxer walks out, kindly waving to everyone as he sits at Wendy's side.
"Our next spectator is Elena!"
The mystic martial artist waves her arms at everyone, sitting at Ed's side.
"Next up, the Nomad!"
The gentle being gave a kind salute and sat at Ed's side.
"Up next is Rick!"
The ill tempered scientist stumbles out, and was definitely plastered by the look of it. Rick walks over and slumps down face first at Ed's side.
"Looks like someone is happy to be here. Next, we have Android 18!"
The android confidently steps out and sits at Ed's side.
"Come on out, Russel!"
The professional drummer comes out, giving the camera a peace sign. He promptly sits at Wendy's side.
"And for our last pre merge boot, it's Mercy!"
(I know it was actually Nana, but it made sense to pair her up with Popo)
The combat medic takes a bow and sits at Ed's side.
"Now let's see the competitors that at least made it to the merge. First up, it's Dororo!"
The spunky little street thief gave a cheeky grin as she sat at Ed's side.
"Next up is our favorite future criminal with a heart of gold, Susie!"
The monster teen walks out, twirling her axe to look cool. She walks over to Wendy's side and sits down.
"Next up, we have Deadpool!"
"Hey hey hey, everyone!" The merc greeted. "Good for you two on making it to the finale! Oh, the journey you two have had over the course of this fic-"
"Deadpool, just shut up and pick a side!"
"Fine. Honestly, you're no fun sometimes." The merc huffed as he sat at Ed's side.
"Anyway, next up is Edgeworth!"
The prosecutor gives a courteous nod as he went to sit at Wendy's side.
"Next, we have the meta runner herself, Tari!"
Tari smiled and looked towards Edward as she stepped out, making the alchemist blush a little bit. The two two keep eye contact as she sits at his side.
"Alright, let's keep this show moving, you lovebirds. Let's bring out Geralt next."
The witcher remains quiet and stoic as he sits at Ed's side.
"Does this guy make everything he does look so cool? Next up, let's introduce Cinder!"
The maiden walked out with an expectant look on her face as she sat at Wendy's side.
"Next, we have the big bad himself, DIO!"
DIO slowly walked out, keeping his eyes at the ground and trying to avoid eye contact with everyone. The vampire promptly sat at Wendy's side.
"Whoa…." Susie said. "You're seriously rooting for the little girl that beat you?"
"Shut your trap!" DIO snapped. He clearly did not want to be reminded of his humiliating defeat to Wendy. "Even though I hate her, I figured I should root for someone. But not really, since I hate them both, so don't get the wrong idea, you dolts!"
This attitude of his immediately shut everyone up.
"Next, we have the imposing clairvoyant, Katakuri!"
The pirate sure didn't look imposing as he stepped out, munching on donuts. He did, however, look at Wendy and gave her a nod as he sat at her side.
"And last, but surely not least, we have Charlie!"
The demon princess waved at everyone as she sat at Wendy's side.
(Geez, looking back, I have a lot of characters in this)
"Thank you, everyone." Wendy said to her supporters. "You guys are amazing!"
"Same goes for you guys!" Edward said to his group. "I couldn't have done it without you all!"
"GO for the gold, Ed!" Deadpool cheered.
"Wreck this fool, Wendy!" Susie said.
"Now that the gang's all here, let's get this final challenge started!"
Pressing a button on a remote, the ground opened up underneath Edward and Wendy. A huge, circular, flat platform rose out of the ground, and rose fairly high into the air. Getting a good look at the platform beneath them, it looked like something you'd see in a colosseum.
Chris got right on to explaining the challenge. "When I said you two would fight each other, I meant fight. You two will face each other in an even grander scale version of the fighting challenge. The rule to win is still the same as last time. You must knock your opponent all the way to the ground below to win this. The million dollar grand prize!"
They all stare in awe as Chris opens up a gray, rectangular briefcase, showing off the prize money. Both finalists eyes were glowing with amazement at the sight of all that cash.
"But remember," Chris said, putting the case away. "You have to knock your opponent back down here. All of your powers and weapons are at your disposal. As long as you don't kill each other, feel free to go all out. In fact, I fully expect you two to go all out. Give this challenge everything you got, because it all comes down to this. Got that?"
Wendy and Edward nod. Both opponents walk up to each other and shake hands, showing the other some good sportsmanship.
"No matter what happens, I wish you good luck." Wendy said.
Edward nods "You too, kid."
Once both walk back to their positions, both prepare for the showdown that was about to commence.
"Here we go!" Chris announced. "The final challenge! Edward, are you re9?"
Ed uses his alchemy on the ground beneath him to create a stone, spiked, kanabo war club with a little angry face of Edward at the tip. "I'm ready."
"Wendy, are you ready?"
Wendy wastes no time, and turns into her Dragon Force form. "I'm ready."
"Then get ready….. get set….. and… FIGHT!"
Everyone cheered as both combatants ran towards each other and made the first clash. Wendy's Haki coated fist collides with Ed's club. Black lightning shoots out in all directions ftom the impact.
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
"And so, it seems the final bout begins." Mercy said.
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
"No matter what's gonna happen, this will be quite the spectacle." Dororo said.
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
DIO sat there with an irritated look. Looking at the camera, he bitterly says "Piss off. That should be me up there giving one of them a beatdown."
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
Both fighters leap after their clash. This was to assess the other's strength, considering these two have never fought against each other.
Taking the initiative, Wendy takes in a deep lungful of air, and shoots out a blast of it from her mouth.
"Sky Dragon's Roar!"
Edward puts one of his hands on the ground and makes a small stone wall to block and dispel the air blast. Continuing to manipulate the ground, he makes a giant hand our of it to try and punch Wendy.
"It makes perfect sense." Sora said. "His alchemy badically gives him complete terrain control."
Katakuri gives a small chuckle at this.
"What's so funny?" Russel asked.
"If they think that terrain control can stop her, then they're in for a surprise. She beat someone who can stop time for crying out loud."
DIO is heard grumbling and mumbling at the mention of this.
"You may be true," Deadpool said, "but i know one of Ed's key traits is thinking on his feet. He can quickly adapt to anything Wendy throws at him. Even with what you taught her."
"Heh. We'll see….." He says as he takes a big bite out of the giant donut he had.
Back to the fight at hand, Wendy manages to leap and dodge the hand swatting at her with precise agility.
"Sky Dragon's Claw!"
Wendy swings her leg up to unleash large winds, but Ed ducks and rolls out of the way, dodging the wind, and slamming Wendy in her side's with the club.
Yelling out in pain, Wendy turns around and lands a roundhouse kick at Ed's ribs that practically knocks the air out of him. Edward stumbles backwards from the hit, but regains his footing.
"Time to change things up!" Ed said, tossing the weapon away. What Wendy didn't know was that he excelled in hand to hand combat. All thanks to always sparring with his little brother.
He rushes forward to start brawling, but is caught in a big explosion that erupted from the ground.
"Damn you, Chris!" Ed snapped.
"Again with the explosions?" Nicole groaned.
"We had some left over, and I hate to be the kind of guy that lets things go to waste." Chris said sadistically.
"You're a sick, twisted, fuck." Rick said. "And that's what makes the world go around. Those with no regrets or isn't afraid to get twisted are the ones that *belch* make the most out of our pointless lives."
"That's pretty dark." Popo said.
"Sorry to burst your bubble, kid, but that's the harsh reality. There's only two things in life you're guaranteed: Taxes and death."
"Then I don't wanna be a grown-up."
Wendy and Edward both punch each other in the face at the same time. Both use their strength her to push the other away. But it was a complete stalemate. Even when each power up, they were pretty equally matched in physical strength.
Both let go and take a step back. Now the two of them start walking in circles, never breaking eye contact.
"You're pretty good." Ed painted. "No wonder you beat Rick and DIO."
"How about you shut your trap, runt!"
"How about you come up here and make me!" Ed yelled, looking away to yell at DIO. Seems as though DIO's insult got to him, which gave DIO an idea.
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
"If there's one thing I know Edward hates more than anything, it's joking about his stature." DIO said. "He always reacts if you say anything about. Whenever has something they hate being mentioned, I take advantage of it."
(Yet this hypocrite is being to narcissistic to realize the irony, since hated it when Wendy's victory over him is mentioned)
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
"Hey! Half pint!" DIO called out. This immediately made Edward stop his current attack and began to shake in anger.
"Yeah, I'm talking to you! Runt! Junior mint! Shrimp! Midget! Shorty! Beansprout! Pipsqueak! Micro peewee!"
He immediately turned to walk towards DIO in rage, even getting close to the end of the arena.
"What are you doing?!" Wendy asked. "What about our fight?!"
"I'm gonna give that bloodsucking bastard a fight!" Ed growled. He was nearing the point of no return. His fists were shaking, and his eye was twitching with rage. "You can't judge a man by something he can't help!"
"Don't give in to the dark side!" Deadpool said, trying to help his friend from losing over something…..small.
(Couldn't help myself)
"You're not helping!" Deadpool said to me.
"Don't do it!" Tari cried. "Dont listen to him! You can do it!"
"Snap out of it!" Wendy said. If she won, she didn't want it to be like this. Just like Katakuri, she hated it if someone interfered in a fight. Even if it gave her an advantage.
DIO was about to say something else, but Katakuri quickly grabs DIO and covers his mouth with his hand.
"Don't do it, dude!"
"I believe in you!"
Hearing his friends encouragement was giving Ed some willpower to resist giving into his primal urge to leave and go pummel DIO. But not enough.
But Wendy quickly walks up to Edward and helps him come to his senses in the best way she could think of.
She slapped him in the face.
"Huh?!" Ed said.
"Get your act together!" Wendy yelled. This really surprised Ed, and all the spectators, too. For the shy, kind girl she was, this came out of nowhere.
"I didn't come all this way just to win with a cheap trick." Wendy said in a much calmer tone from before. "And neither did you. After all we've been through, you should know better. At this point, I don't care whether i win or lose. But as long as it ends with each of us fighting fairly, then I couldn't ask for anything more. Sorry... was I being a bit too harsh?"
Ed just chuckles a little bit and gives her a thumbs up. "Heh heh. Not at all. Thanks for the wake up call. If I lost because of a piece of crap like him, is never forgive myself. So what say we finish up this fight?"
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
"Seems I rubbed off on her more than I thought." Katakuri said. "For a kid, she's shown a lot of maturity."
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
"I'm not crying!" Deadpool wailed. He was in fact crying, and wiping his tears away with a tissue. "That was a great speech! Encore! Encore!"
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
"All I got from that was that he needed to stop being such a sensitive bitch boy." Rick said casually.
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
Now that the distractions were out of the way, it was time for these two to finish what they started. Known the both of them were throwing punch after punch at each other at a rapid fire rate. Back and forth, everyone watched as it turned into an all out brawl of fisticuffs.
"Definitely way better than anything you'd see on UFC!" Susie said. "Kick his ass, Wendy!"
"Don't give up, Edward!" Nana cheered.
"Don't ever give up!" Tari said. "You're the best!"
"Yeah, don't give up!" Spinel added. "Ed! Ed! Ed! Ed!"
Now the rest of Edward's supporters were joining in on the chant.
"Edward! Edward! Edward! Edward!"
Now Wendy's supporters joined in as well, cheering the young powerhouse on.
"Wendy! Wendy! Wendy! Wendy! Wendy! Wendy!"
After another minute of exchanging punches JoJo style, both fighters leap back again.
"This is it!" Edward said. "The coup de grace! I'm gonna end it right now!"
"Not if I end it first!" Wendy said. Ed transmutes his automail arm into a blade, while Wendy coats her fist in Haki once more.
Now, the two run at each other at full force, yelling out a battle cry. A split screen is shown of them dashing towards one another.
"HYYYYYYYYYYYYYAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHH!"
But at the same time as they hit each other, they both stepped on another mine. This explosion was bigger than any they had experienced on the show. The arena, the spectator stands, and just about half the island were covered in a cloud of smoke.
The spectators and Chris were coughing up a storm as theysaw some of the smoke clears. But on top of the arena, they noticed neither of them were standing on it.
"What's this?!" Chris said. "Where are they?!"
"Are they even okay?!" Charlie asked.
"Who won?!" Joe asked.
As more of the smoke cleared, it made more sense. One of the finalists was hanging onto the edge of the platform by the tip of their fingers, while the other was laying flat on their back on the ground.
"I don't believe it!" Chris announced with so much enthusiasm. "The winner of the challenge, and the winner of Total Drama Infinite is….."

"...WENDY!"
Wendy, who was seen hanging onto the platform immediately dropped down to ground from exhaustion.
Everyone stood up, and clapped and cheered for the winner. Charlie and Susie hugged in joy (well, Charlie hugged her. Susie just pumped her fist in the air), Cinder gave a small smile, and Katakuri just gave a nod and smiled. DIO just scoffed.
Others like Deadpool and Tari did look a little disappointed, but still felt happy for her nonetheless, and clapped for her.
"Did I… win?" Wendy gasped in disbelief.
Everyone rushed over to the both of them to help and congratulate them.
"You did!" Charlie cried! "You won!"
Wendy got up and dusted herself off. And that was when the soreness kicked in. "Ow! I'm gonna be feeling that one for a while."
"You don't need to fret about that, little one." Mercy told her. Using her Caduceus Staff, a yellow stream shot out of it and began to repair any injuries they sustained.
"Well done kid." Katakuri said. The strong and stoic pirate gave Wendy a headpat. "You did amazing."
After a minute of laying on the ground in surprise, Edward finally sat up and looked over at Wendy. "Darn." He said, feeling a little sad about it. "I gave it my best shot, but it turns out the better man won. Good for you. You've earned it."
At that moment, Ed felt a tap on his shoulder. Turning around, he saw Tari smiling at him.
"Hey." She said.
"Hey." Ed replied. "I'm sorry I couldn't win it for us. I promised I would."
"It's alright." Tari told him. "You still did amazing. I wouldn't have thought any different of you no matter what happened. Just know you'll always be number one in my book."
This made Ed smile. At the end of the day, he still did really good. And they still had each other. "You know what? Forget hydrogen. You're my number one element."
Tari smiled at this, and the both of them kissed.

(Later that night….)
Everyone sat at the bonfire, as Edward and Wendy sat next to each other. Both the winner and runner up smiled at each other.
"As the ultimate tribute to our first season," Chris said, "we're going to have one last bonfire ceremony. For the one that braved it all, Wendy!"
Wendy stood up as Chef handed her the briefcase containing the million dollars.
"Oh wow!" Wendy gasped. "Thank you!"
"You've earned it."
"If I may ask, what do you plan to do with the money?" Geralt asked.
"You know, that's a good question." Wendy said. "For starters, I may truly to live off this money. I wouldn't need to go out on quests for a while. But before that, I want to do one thing."
Looking over at Ed, she holds the briefcase out. "I want to give you half of my winnings."
It took Edward a moment to process. "Wendy….. you don't have to do that. You won fair and square. It's all yours."
"I know I don't have to. But I insist. You tried just as hard as I did."
"Are you sure you want to do this?" Katakuri asked.
"I've never been more sure about anything than I have right now. Please. Consider it an equivalent exchange."
Ed took another moment to think it over. "You know, when you put it that way, how could I refuse? It's a deal." Ed and Wendy shook on it. "Might as well use some of it for my research."
"You know, that was really sweet of you." Charlie said. "Humans lime you keep impressing me more and more."
"And to mark this," Chris said. He hands Wendy a marshmallow. "This is also for you. The last marshmallow."
"Gee, thanks." Wendy tosses the sweet treat up in the air and catches it in her mouth.
"You know, this is fine and all, but we're all forgetting one thing." Deadpool told everyone.
"Oh yeah?" The King said. "And just what might that be?"
"What else could it be?! A big party for our big winner!"
And so, the next day, they did just that. In the mess hall, a party was held in honor of Wendy's victory. Music was blasting, people were dancing, and Katakuri was pigging out at the dessert table.
Tari was seen cheering as she won a match of Smash Bros against the Ice Climbers (who, to no surprise, we're playing as themselves)
"I thought if I picked us, we'd win for sure." Popo groaned.
"Guess she's just that good." Nana said, patting her closest friend on the back.
Rick was now so hammered that he went on a crazy conspiracy rant. Dororo and Russel watched this, laughing at how ridiculous he was acting.
Honestly, this was the most fun everyone felt in a long while.
Well, almost everyone.
"Hey, have you guys seen DIO?" Charlie asked her friends.
The pirate pointed outside and saw the vampire standing alone outside.
"He's missing out on all the fun." Tari said. "Even if he was a jerk, he doesn't deserve to be left out."
"Should someone talk to him?" Spinel asked
"I don't think that's a good idea." Katakuri said. "He's just being a poor sport. Let's leave him to wallow in his own self pity. If that's what he wants, that's what he's gonna get."
"Guess some people won't change no matter what you do." Wendy said.
As DIO was standing outside, he was looking out in the distance in bitter silence. That is, until he heard a voice.
"You don't have to keep being a sourpuss about it."
DIO turned around saw Cinder standing there.
"Oh…. it's just you." He said bitterly. "What do you want?"
"You sure you don't want to join in on the festivities? At least, with me?"
"What are you talking about?"
"You know, I'm willing to forgive you now for setting me up and stabbing me in the back now."
"Oh, now you've come to your senses? Are you only forgiving me because I've lost, and have been humiliated beyond belief?"
"Yes." Cinder said bluntly.
A moment after hearing this, DIO actually cracked a smile. Pulling the maiden in close, they share a kiss. "God, I love that about you. Only forgiving someone because something terrible happened to them."
"So is that a yes or no on the party?" Cinder said, giving him a sly smile.
"I guess it wouldn't hurt. We make one hell of a team, after all. The next time we get a chance, we're going to make those fools pay BIG TIME."
"We'll sit back and laugh together as the world burns."
"Hey! Hope I'm not interrupting anything!" Deadpool said, startling the two villains. "Eh, don't care. I got bigger fish to fry."
The merc immediately turns his attention towards the camera. "And so, that wraps an amazing story by an amateur writer! Hope you all enjoyed reading. But make no mistake! That meme emperor isn't done yet! Another action packed season is coming soon, and it's going to be bigger than the last. Watch as yours truly takes the multiverse by storm!"
"There better not be a next time!" Cinder snapped. "Let them find other people dumb enough to be on this show!"
"Its gonna be BIG!" Deadpool said, ignoring her. "We'll have adventure, music, suspense, and me! Not to mention returning favorites, and new cast of crazies to have fun with!"
"That idiot's spouting nonsense!" DIO said. "Isn't he?!"
"But you won't have to wait long. Until we meet again, I hope you all enjoyed reading! You guys are the best. Till next time, tallyho!"
The merc throws down a smoke bomb, and everything goes black.

And most of them lived happily ever after. The end. Man,I can't believe I completed the story. Round of applause for that. And another round goes to Wendy for winning it all. I had planned for her to win for a while. A easily underestimated girl like her progressing and getting stronger. Able to go toe to toe with the big shots. Wendy and Edward gave it their all. Both were deserving, but I felt Wendy deserved it. I hope you guys are okay with that.
I want to thank all of you again for putting up with me this long. All my hard work paid off, and all the feedback, praise, and criticisms all helped me. You all did just as much work as I did. Thank you all so much for sticking with me this long. There were ups and downs, but I regret nothing.
But you all heard Deadpool. We still have another story to start. I tried thinking of a name for it, so I'm going with the unoriginal but charming Infinite 2. Fifteen returning veterans, along with fifteen eager to win newbies will duke it out for more money. We've got yakuzas, goddesses, heroes in training, troubled cats, street brawlers with broken English, vulgar inventors, clones of famous figures, convicted criminals, and Decepticons coming soon. The multiverse won't know what hit it.
As for who took the final veteran slot, Sora surprisingly blew the others out of the water. Guess you all wanted to see him do more since he got booted early. DIO did surprisingly well too, but it wasn't quite enough. But its not tbe last you've seen of him, regardless. What does that mean? Oh, you've seen nothing yet. I've got some big plans.
Don't worry. Season two is now in the works, so keep your eyes peeled for it. It'll be out sooner than you think.
With all that out of the way, this is the odd meme lord and humor ambassador's time to clock out. Until next time, this is MemeKing the Third, signing off! See you all in season 2! ;)
