Super Ridonculous Race
Episode 6: Angolan Grafting Goals!
Part 2: Carve Out The Food!
Honestly, I probably need to speed up the production of these chapters or else, things are going to be slow for you guys and I don't want that to happen and this is definitely one of my favourite stories to write overall!
So, here's the first challenge that's in the African country that speaks Portugese and this time, it contains two challenges, which isn't too novel of an idea!
But which team will come out on top and crush all of their rivals or rather, make their performance really stand out, in this challenge?
Wherever it's from the bad guys alliance, the good guys alliance, the other alliances or from a team with an alliances, Don's here to bring the hosting on!
Also, the chance of two chapters in this month is about 20/80 and I'm going to try and put it as soon as I can, considering my other stories and RL as a factor, so enjoy this one!
All 81 teams, were just completely sure that this challenge was going to be a special one and the remaining 40 that were in the air were all completely sure that this flight was definitely going to land soon.
Spring Man being one of them, as he was just feeling his nerves tense up, as Ribbon Girl's spirit was definitely trying to sleep.
''Man, it's going to be rough dealing with you guys.'' Shawn was just as nervous.
''I'm litterally a guy with stretchy arms, so it shouldn't be that hard.'' Spring Man just told him.
''It's good when you can hold things in them.'' Shawn was just giving the thumbs up. ''I mean you can hold things in them, right?''
''Yeah, why?'' Spring Man was just reaching out for his drink like it was nothing.
''...Because I'll think of something!'' Shawn was just looking inspired to do things that were beating him up.
Spring Man and Shawn went their ways, feeling really inspired to do some more racing of the technical kind, even if the former didn't really know how to do strategy that well.
However, things were just heating up with some of the most confusing pick up lines that were known to some of the players on this plane.
''Hey, bitch, what's good?'' Phil was just making a few people dissapointed, as he was just taking a look at a not so happy Poison. ''I swing both ways, so it won't be a problem.''
''I can't believe you're actually half my size, so...'' Poison was just sure that this was plain awkward and an opportunity to get someone angry. ''...get lost.''
''Hey, I'm talking to you, bitch!'' Phil was just getting Jack to peek out of the aisle.
Poison and Hugo were rolling both of their eyes for lack of a better reaction, as the latter was not too interested in the questionable pick-up lines of a short Bronx guy that was all about the bed bending, judging from his overly long shirt.
''Yeah, bi-'' Phil was just sent packing by Jack's own hands. ''What the hell are you doing, man?!''
''She looks like that she could probably really hurt you.'' Jack was just nervously saying this, as the duo in front of them were giving some intimidating stares. ''I mean they're out there fighting people!''
''Yeah, but...''
Katie and Sadie were looking very embarrassed by the selection that were just hanging back in the second flight, as they weren't even sure what was happened, especially with another slightly suprised and very entertained team just hanging out right beside them.
*The Animal Agents' confessional*
Kitty and Dudley were both very tired of the plane ride.
''Geez, I thought you were annoying when you've got nothing to do, but clearly I was wrong.'' Kitty was just rubbing her own head.
''Hold on, it's that bad?'' Dudley was just really surprised. ''I'm kinda sorry that my excitement just kinda becomes annoying.''
''Are you really sorry.'' Kitty was just both skeptical and saddened.
''Uh, yeah...but I kinda can't control it. It feels crazy going through that much craziness.'' Dudley's redundant phrasing was definitely somewhat empathetic. ''Come on, let's just land there!''
*Confessional cut*
''With some really annoying contestants just annoying the heck out of the not so annoying contestants and somewhat obnoxious contestants on the second flight...''
The next either-or was for all of the main players that were willing to crowd up to just wait for a tip from an very Angolan-based Don Box, which was already causing its own problems from its strange presence.
There was a few teams that were actually way ahead, thanks to this driver's abilities to find a not so trafficked path, even when there's not much cars and vehicles on the location.
These guys weren't exactly the friendliest group in the race, but they weren't the worst group, especially since they gave a quick tip.
''...the first group of ten arrive at the Don Box and it's not the teams that you were expecting!'' Don was just commentating over Alya and Nino landing their way into first.
Alya just took a simple old picture of her, Nino, Tom and Jen doing some cool poses when they were just about to hit the Don Box.
''Huh, there's nothing here.'' Benimaru was just taking the opportunity to commentate on the Don Box, which had ''Oh, it's just this.''
''Come on, it's African patterns. What's not to love?'' Jennifer was just taking it on with a shrug.
While Benimaru, Jennifer, Nino and Carly were just taking their tips pretty damn quickly, the rest of them were just waiting for the challenges to be revealed through their partner's or another team's reading of small black text on the sky blue background.
Rad, Enid, Modrecai and Rigby were just trying to destress their own backs from the cramped seating, as they were just ready to get schooled in Luanda's Ciadade Alta.
''Well, let me see...dudes, it's an Either-Or!'' Nino was just surprising some people. ''Alright, Carve or Cassava...what's a cassava?''
''Just search it online.'' Alya was just trying to type it down, as Don was just waiting for the right moment to do his job.
''While they find out a cassava is, I'll explain what the challenge is all about.'' Don was just going to both challenges that were actually situated on opposite sides of each other. ''The challengers that did take the tip in either have to...''
Don was just going to an very African historian, who was just looking for some good flutes.
''...make the flutes and make it detailed enough to pass through this young fan of African history...''
The dude with a mostly clean shaven head just nodded confindently.
''...or deal with the cassava by turning it into fries, which is definitely going to take some time, especially since it needs to be properly prepared for it to be good enough to get through. Once any team successfully finishes one of the challenges..''
There was a somewhat passionate cooking woman that was just handing out the tip, along with the history guy, as they were definitely in the TV show mood.
''...they'll grab the tip and move onto the next challenge, probably with their hands dirty.''
With a fierce battle on the uprise, there was at least six teams that were going to decide good on wherever to just carefully carve out the wood into a pretty decent recreation of the flute or make fries out of cassava that had to be cut pretty well and be correctly cooked, because a choice like that would be a problem.
''Dude, you can't eat it.'' Rigby was just looking hungry. ''Why not?!''
''Because there's a lot of people that really can't eat much food in this place.'' Modrecai was just sure that his skills were good.
''Oh, yeah, but how?''
''Dude, it's kinda out of your control, but it's cool anyways.'' Nino just joined the discusssion. ''I'd pick the fries.''
''Is cassava a potato thing?'' Rad asked, as Enid wasn't about to just give up.
''Dunno.'' Enid was just seeing Rad run for the challenge.
The rest of the teams chose something that could take a lot of time and used their artistic skills to create a decent reproduction of a tribal flute, even if it putting it into their own style.
These challenges also had chairs, moreso for the more artistic challenges that were just working for them, as Kasumi was just keeping an eye on what it was actually turning into.
''Come on, Kasumi, let's just do it way faster!'' Xiangfei was just yelling.
''Doing it fast just makes it so that we'd lose.'' Kasumi was just remembering the details.
''It said detailed enough, so it wouldn't be a problem.''
''I'm pretty sure that rushing it would just mess up the details, so I'm not gonna listen.''
''Urgh, fine!''
Benimaru, Spencer and Jen were going full in with their artistic skills, as they were just sure that their abilities wouldn't really make the other partner stall, but something unintetional happened.
Shingo and Carly were both taking an awkward look at each other with all of the love going on.
''Wait, how did you get here?'' Carly just got distracted with an important question, as Xiangfei was just willing to not answer. ''Don't be like that.''
''Hey, it's personal.''
*Young Women Warriors' confessional*
Kasumi, who was really sweating and Xiangfei, also being relatively sweaty, were definitely using their hands to say something, as they were doing some fighting poses that seemed similar to what kung-fu movies usually did.
''Alright, so we're far from being in sync! Being in sync requires a lot of effort, concentration and giving a crud about your friend and I'm pretty sure you've got the third one easy!'' Kasumi was just trying to get to the bottom of the problem.
''I dunno, I think I concentrated enough and...the effort was there.'' Xiangfei was just way too close to figuring something out. ''I was trying to do dance moves!''
''Figures.'' Kasumi was just keeping her blue hair well kept. ''I don't know what I achieved.''
''I kinda figured out that I suck at doing the karate dance.'' Xiangfei was just looking upwards to check things out.
*Dating Heroes' confessional*
Joe and Sylvia were both very ready for the heat, just wearing some breezy clothes that weren't made for the cold.
''Wow, talk about being something else. It's like everyone knew that there was a heatwave coming, but no-one expected it to come at night.'' Joe was just trying to get all of the water down into his throat.
''Okay...why is that not a genius observation? It's kinda weird how obvious it is, but then again, it probably should be.'' Sylvia was just relaxing herself in the direction of a cold fan.
''I'm just trying to tell the obvious.''
''I figured it out from the first thing you said.''
*Confessional Cut*
''When the second flight teams get off the plane, they'll make each other know that there is a hard choice. Ride a mini bus or use your own two feet to get to the centre of Luanda!'' Don was just being a happy dude, as he was just completely sure that there was some teams that were working it out. ''Apparently, it's a very difficult one.''
Wario was just scratching his own head, as Waluigi was just angrily standing around for no apparent reason, even if they were dressed appropiately for the heat.
''Come on, just get in the taxi, it's not gonna cost a lot.'' Dudley was just trying to presuade Wario to get in there.
''I already paid, though and er...'' Frank didn't exactly do his other job.
Wario and Waluigi were definitely just moving their way at a high speed, as they were just in an fast taxi.
''I got money!'' Wario yelled, making the most obvious boast in the group of back burners. ''And I got a good one!''
Frank, Spring Man and Dudley were all just looking out to the side that Wario and Waluigi's taxi was just leaving the airport at and the treasure hunters took this time to bring some window action to the twelve-seating taxi.
Chuck, Ribbon Girl and Kitty were definitely angry at the obvious middle finger that somehow took a few seconds to come out, as the rest of the team were on the minibus.
''Let's go, players! I'm a player too!'' Tomo just yelled, as she was just getting it started.
''Sure you are.'' Chuck was just groaning and he didn't even see Phil coming in with some accidental swagger. ''I feel like I'm way too old to make sense of this.''
''Trust me, I'm going to play you, old guy and wannabe player!'' Phil was just jumping onto the seat and throwing some threats at Chuck.
''Bring it on!'' Frank was just throwing one back.
''Okay.'' Jack didn't even try to make sense of this. ''Let's just get to the challenge.''
There was definitely six teams that were wasting their time, as the taxi driver was definitely an annoyed man and the rest of the contestants, were to some extent, confused.
No matter how hot the situation really is, those six actually had good air condition to boot, as their sweat wasn't as obnoxious as the rest of the contestants in the other taxi.
Even with Wario and Waluigi taking up the best positions, it was actually a relatively even race, mostly because it was a easy ride for the second flight racers.
Dexter and Dee Dee were both willing to make sure that Wario and Waluigi were good at riding each other, as they weren't willing to waste it being uncomfortable.
''...I'll reach the final five or whatever thanks to those hidden skills I've attained, which is gonna cause some problems with me, but this is a race where Wario's gonna be number one!'' Wario was just rambling, as Waluigi was just listening in, along with an seemingly uncaring Dexter.
Dee Dee was just trying to get the high score on her ballet game, as she didn't really have much to do.
''So, Wario, you're a big man that is willing to do anything to win.'' Dexter asked, as he was just being a questioning boy. ''That's correct.''
''Hey, I don't even get to answer the obvious facts!'' Wario shouted back.
''And you're willing to make an alliance?''
''Yeah, but what are you up to?'' Wario's smile grew more sly.
''What the last two words were.'' Dexter just calmly explained himself, as Waluigi was trying to close his eyes. ''Refuse and I'll tell everyone about your plans.''
''Oh my god, it's air-tight!'' Waluigi just accidentally cheered on Dexter.
Dee Dee and Waluigi were both just clapping together, as they were sure that things were happening and Wario was just accepting it as is, as Dexter gained the same sly smile.
*Kagura's solo confessional*
Kagura was just being really upbeat, as she's just relaxing her muscles.
''Okay, so my muscles are really tense, so I'm de-tensing them to just give Tomo my full force. Trust me, we got wrecked due to our muscles being super tense.''
*The Contrasting Siblings' confessional*
Dee Dee was just genuinely shocked, as Dexter was just being relatively casual.
''Seriously, you've got things that are amazingly cool!'' Dee Dee was just genuinely happy for his brother.
''You'll never understand what I'm feeling.'' Dexter made an angry statement.
''Really, because I think you're happy.''
''...No, I'm not really.'' Dexter looked awkwardly.
*Confessional's done, bruh*
It was really obvious that there was some terrible people in the race, but what was more obvious is that most of them did not know how to correctly cut cassava.
It was clearly making some people very angry at the cutting failure that was just marking their moments with some scathing commentary from Don.
''While some of the good choices are making their way through suprisingly easy, the rest are making it harder for themselves by making sure that their enemies regret doing this challenge!'' Don said, as Zooey was just making this challenge actually look easy along with Benimaru and Spencer doing equally well.
Eggman was also carving it surprisingly good, but he was definitely a bit panicky about the details.
A good chunk of the rest were pretty much following Sonic's example on how to cut wood badly, as he litterally managed to cut his gloves...twice.
''Huh, it's not like everything's surprisingly hard because there was too many teams.'' Maxima was just trying to make his thoughts known. ''Now that I said it, it is definitely ridonculously stupid.''
''Thanks, I wanted to not give a crap about you.'' Sonic's carving didn't look too surprising, as it was relatively rough. ''I've gotta deal with your son here.''
Sonic was just getting things done questionably, while K' was just forcing it in there, as was Mordecai.
''Dude, it's not that hard...you just gotta-'' Rigby was just trying to just feign confindence.
''Dude, I know, but it's just chipping off.'' Mordecai's eye were super-focused on the pole that was just being worked on.
There was a lot of focus on the guys that were just trying to make some African flutes, as there was many teams that were just working their hardest to carve the details into the game, however the cassava friers were something else, thanks to the plant being very hard to cut.
However, some of these characters were definitely making good use of their strengths in pretty ridiculous ways.
''You've definitely been to many places with that kind of cutting.'' Kim noticed, as she was just progressing slowly. ''How are you a street fighter?''
''Dunno, I just fight a lot in my field of work.'' Mary was just making some decent work of the cassava. ''Enter a lot of fighting tournament to gain some info and...''
''I kinda get it, you don't want to be exposed for being-'' Kim clicked onto the situation.
''I just do some serious investigation and situation assessing.'' Mary just stopped to tell the obvious.
''Wow, it's...are you okay?'' Kim was definitely seeing Jeff's chopped up cassava.
''Yeah, I'm okay, dude.'' Jeff's hands weren't too injured, but he definitely had some handling problems. ''Dude, these glasses are definitely cool.''
As he said that, his knife was definitely stuck in the cassava, as Stromboli just managed to cut the white plant with some serious effort and mixed results and Mr. Smee managed to get not so good results with the knife also being stuck.
''Help, cap'n! My knife's stuck!'' Smee was just genuinely stumped for answers.
''I've only got one hand and a hook, I don't know what I can do! Also, I don't wait for stragglers!'' Hook's defiant spirit was showing through in a strange way.
''Cap'n, I'll make us not get penalised!'' Smee just managed to pull it out. ''...Cap'n, how do I chop it?''
''Smee, you know how to do it! Do it!'' Hook's anger was just ridiculously apparent.
''Hold on, it's going to be good and it's going to be fried.'' Smee's resolve made him unloose the knife.
''Whoa, you two are really intense.'' Hayley was just trying to watch from a distance.
''Yeah, no kiddin'.'' Jeff was just feeling some awkward action, as Stromboli and Mr. Smee were just perched up on either side of him.
*The Chill Couple's confessional*
Jeff was definitely high, as Hayley was not that high on the race that was going on right now.
''Cutting that cassava was one heck of a stressful experience, that much I could tell.'' Hayley said empathetically.
''Aw, man. Angola's cool and it's so cool that the race's going everywhere in a lot of places that I don't even know existed.''
''You've seen actual aliens, but an country in the middle of Africa is really suprising?''
''I don't even know, man. But it's still super cool that we're going to crazy places!''
*The Seniors' confessional*
Stromboli was just not even willing to say anything, as Barker's wide smile was just not convicing of the team spirit.
''It costs no money to do this thing, but I get the stupid challenges, my sweat and this criminal!'' Stromboli complained in a somewhat coherent way.
''Oh, I wouldn't be surprised that you would just ruin the most simple things, you puppet-throwing idiot.'' Barker was just answering with the most smug look. ''I did enjoy those other villains failing quite a bit more, but it's still annoying to see you lose.''
Stromboli was just not very pleased at all, as the Italian guy's displeased face.
''How about those many times you slowed us down? Too many times!'' Stromboli was just slamming his fists onto something.
*Leshawna's confessional*
Leshawna's hands were definitely feeling tense, as she was just feeling the sweat of hard work.
''I know that my things need frying and I ain't about to wait in line to make the hardest fries in Africa! I gotta prove Gwen that we can beat these fools easily!'' Leshawna was just seeing what the chairs were like. ''Oooh, who were here?''
*Confessional cut*
The teams from the second flights were actually catching up for real and because of that, there was bound to be a queue that wasn't supposed to be possible.
''Apparently, queues are possible in this challenge, but I'm guessing that's because everyone's here to work their moments into the show with varying results!'' Don's presence returned.
Spencer and Jen were definitely making their flute have the details worked in, as Zooey was somehow done with it, surprising the two actual artists to have their mouths agape.
''Will Benimaru actually achieve something or Tails and Gwen just make the race unsurprising?'' Don was just seeing Zooey and Leshawna finally get their tips with raised fists.
Sonic and Heather were just looking at their best friend and enemy, in response to the amazing performance that just ended, as Alejandro and Knuckles were both not that shocked.
''Come back after the adverts!'' Don was just cutting things off in the very tanned heat of another location.
To be continued in the third part, which continues the challenge, as this one is actually a bigger one than you think, though that doesn't stop some teams from just running ahead to the second challenge!
