"Last time on the Ridonculous Race, our teams were sent to the big house in the form of Geelong Prison in Australia where some friends became enemies, some enemies became friends, and with what we had believed to be the power of love burning inside of him Devin won the chance to call his supposedly special lady, and they broke up in a seriously brutal and spectacular fashion. I mean it was downright awesome, and it still is since our main man Devin has been in overdrive ever since then. In a battle to not come in last place, the Artists overcame the Ice Dancers but it turned out to be a non elimination round. Again. The question remains, which team is going to get dumped this week? The only way to find out is to watch this exciting episode of… the Ridonculous Race!"
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
Rather than the Chill Zone from the day before, Don stood by the first Don Box of the day near a local farm for the sake of the day's challenge "We're back in Australia and as the winners of the last round, the Best Friends get to grab the first tip of the day."
Sure enough, Devin, now on the effects of Devin-Drive, snatched the tip out of the Don Box at full speed "Yes! I don't think I've ever felt so alive!" he failed to notice Carrie looking worried at him.
Carrie let out a sigh as she turned to face the camera "Ever since Devin and Shelley broke up yesterday he's been on some kind of crazy energy high, I've been giving him some space until he went back to normal but who knows how long that's going to take!"
"WHOO HOO! I BELIEVE I CAN FLY!" as if to demonstrate her point, Devin leapt off of a tree branch and fell to the ground "Ow…"
"See what I mean?"
"Hey move already!" that was when Chet and Lorenzo showed up "Get moving after the crazy guy already, my and my awesome bro are up!"
"...And then there's you guys."
"You moving or what?"
"I'm going, I'm going."
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
"We used to hate each other big time but now we're the super bros, and I mean the ultimate supreme addition." explained Chet.
Lorenzo nodded "Yeah and we've even got our own theme song."
"Hell yeah we do! Stepbrothers, stepbrothers! We're the stepbrothers!"
"And we even put on tattoos of our faces on our stomachs with markers, and I mean permanent markers!" they lifted up their shirts, revealing that they both had tattoos of Chet's faced on their guts.
"...I thought you said we were doing our own faces."
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
Despite this little setback, Lorenzo picked up a tip from the Don Box "Looks like this is an All In called Bunny Bagging. What the hell does that mean?"
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
"Yep he read it right, bunny bagging. Fluffy little fellas like these seem cute but to various farmers throughout Australia they're nothing but annoying thieving rodents, and I'm pretty sure this even inspired an episode of Generator Rex. The Aussies put up one fence after another but they still manage to find their way in, each team is meant to collect 10 rabbits in their team's sack and turn them in to the jolly fellow kind enough to let us use this farm for today's challenge in order to receive their next tip. And as an added bonus somewhere on this farm we've hidden an albino bunny, if a team is able to find it then they can skip directly ahead to the next challenge."
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
"LET'S SAVE THIS FARM!" so the Rockers led the charge into the farm against the bunnies, and yet they all still ended up trampling the farmer's crops, much to the clear dismay of the farmer.
Kevin on the other hand picked up the two cabbages that hadn't been trampled "Alright little albino, come on out little guy." he looked at the farmer "Hey don't worry about a thing man, we'll catch those little spawns of Satan for you." he received a pissed off look "What?"
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
Some of the teams weren't having any luck with the challenge.
Jacques picked up a rabbit by the waist "Alright little one, the sooner you get in the bag the sooner we can-" he promptly ended up getting mauled by the rabbit "A little help?!"
"Do it yourself, I'm busy glaring holes into that one." Josee started glaring at Kevin and received a middle finger in response "They Boomeranged us!"
"We Boomeranged them too."
"The goth girl knocked me off of our raft!"
"After you tried to do it to them first."
"I want REVENGE! Winning is no longer enough for me, I want to be the one that makes them lose!"
"I think winning is still enough."
"Well YOU'RE WRONG!"
"Okay but how are you going to do it?"
"...I think I have an idea." so she made her way over to Ennui "Hey there buddy what's up? Hey quick question, you mind if I borrow some of your makeup?"
Ennui shot her an unconvinced glance "Don't pretend to be friendly, it's gross and at least goths are honest. But you can use some of my makeup if you give me the name of the place where you scored that unitard.
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
At the same time, Geoff and DJ were stalking a group of bunnies "Alright you little carrot munchers, just keep doing what you're doing… and now!" he charged after one of them, only to get his leg stuck in a hole, twisting his ankle in the process "Oh god my ankle!"
"Dude we've gotta get you to a doctor man." DJ told him.
"Nah it's cool bro, I've got 2 legs-" he reached out to grab the rabbit only to get his other ankle stuck in the next hole and twisted that too, causing him to scream in pain, which ended up causing DJ to pass out.
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
Devin stuck his face down into a rabbit hole and grabbed by the ears before dumping it into the open sack that Carrie was holding "WHOO! How many was that?"
"That makes 4." Carrie told him "Are you sure you're okay? Ever since yesterday you've been acting kind of…"
"Like Adam on a sugar high that one time after we went to Anime Evolution in Vancouver a few years ago?"
"Pretty much yeah."
"Well frankly I've been thinking for a long time that Shelley and I should just end it, mainly after I found out that… she cheated on me with her tennis instructor. That was about 3 weeks ago, I've been trying to end it since then but I never got a chance to. Anyway I'm just glad that that part of my life is over and now I can move on, I mean I feel like an idiot for not realizing it sooner. But hey, live and learn right?"
"Yeah, but…"
"And I think it's pretty safe to say that Adam was thrilled about it, it's painfully obvious that he hated Shelley from day one. He wouldn't shut up about it for months."
"Actually Devin that's something that I've been meaning to ask you about." Carrie looked him in the eye "Have you… Have you ever gotten the feeling that there's something that Adam isn't telling us?"
"...I'm sorry Carrie, but that's something that I just can't tell you. When Adam and I first became friends back in middle school, I saw a side of him that he's been keeping hidden from the world for years and only a few people know about." he took her hands in his as they locked eyes "I wanted to tell you so many times but I always had to force myself not to, to tell you now without his consent would be a serious betrayal of his already fragile trust and that's something that I just can't do. I'm sorry."
"Devin… It's times like this that I'm reminded of why I fell in love with him.'
'Carrie… she can be so cute when she gets that look in her eyes.' he looked over and his expression blanched slightly "Wow, just… wow."
"What?" she looked over and her eyes nearly bulged out of her head "Wow, what is Gwen doing exactly?"
As it turns out, Gwen had a bunch of rabbits cuddling up to her against her will "Oh for god's sake, not again!"
"...I'm not sure how to respond to that." she received a nod of agreement from Devin "Or to that." she pointed to where Ennui was having the same problem.
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
"Cute and fluffy animals love me for some reason." explained Gwen "I don't know why but they do, and frankly I would find it adorable if it wasn't for the fact that I've seen what comes out of the other end."
"I have and I don't hate them." Kevin noted.
"I do."
"And I'm sure that Cody loves that about you."
"And how long do you plan to keep up the daily Cody references?"
"Until we get cut from the race or win, besides I'm kind of behind since I missed yesterday so I had to make Adam do it for me."
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
Gwen ripped off every bunny clinging to her "Alright you little crap machines, drop your loads in there so they're the farmer's problem." she looked up at the farmer
"Your affection revolts me." Ennui yanked every bunny off of him, stuffed them into his team's bag and shoved it into the farmer's hands before walking away.
Gwen promptly joined him "You have that problem too?"
"It's not something I'm proud of. Cute and fluffy animals love me, it's adorable. Crimson and I hate adorable."
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
Chet and Lorenzo were searching through the bushes for their rabbits until they noticed something in one of the bushes nearby "Hey there's one, grab it before it hops away into the sunset!"
"You got it bro!" Lorenzo reached in and grabbed it by the ears, only to find that it was actually just a kangaroo "Uh… Okay I'm pretty sure this is a kangaroo but Chet is the smart one so it's his call. I mean I don't want to look like an idiot. I've never seen a rabbit like this before, you think it might be the albino?"
'Okay so I don't think it's the albino rabbit because it's not white or a rabbit but Lorenzo is the smart one so I guess I might as well go with it. Oh yeah man, an albino rabbit. That's what that is all the way."
"Yeah man!" then Lorenzo got kicked into a tree by the kangaroo and stomped on over and over again "Make it stop, make it stop, MAKE IT STOP! Oh god there can't be anything more painful than this!"
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
And now something even more painful than that:
DJ was trying to help Geoff with his twisted ankle "Okay so does this hurt?" he shifted the ankle one way and it clicked, causing Geoff to scream in pain "Okay how about this?" he shifted it again, earning another scream "Oh wait I see what the problem is, I don't have any idea what I'm doing right now."
"This is payback for almost dropping an anvil on you back in season 2 isn't it?!"
"...Maybe."
"I KNEW IT!"
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
Other teams were struggling.
"Here bunny bunny bunny, over here!" Spud tried to lure a rabbit over with a cabbage "It's tasty, you see?" he took a bite "Actually that's not bad." he took another bite.
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
Kevin pointed his fingers at the rabbits like they were a gun "Alright you fluffy spawns of the Devil, get down on the ground with your paws behind your ears!" this prompted all of the bunnies to freeze in place, earning him a look from Gwen "What? My dad is a cop, he does this all the time when he sees people cut in line at Quiznos. Anyway that's right you furry little bastards, the salad bar is closed."
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
Jacques watched them from behind a tree and turned to Josee "Correct me if I'm wrong Josee but how is giving up one of our rabbits going to sabotage the Artists?"
"Watch and learn Jacques, watch and learn!" Josee picked up one of their rabbits and started covering it in powder.
"I still find this very unethical."
"Don't care!"
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
Gwen stuck the last rabbit into their bag "Okay that's the last rabbit, now let's fork these things over to the farmer and move onto the next challenge-"
"Hold that thought Pasty." Kevin held a hand up to her mouth and pointed at the fake albino rabbit running around "That's the ringleader, hold the bunnies while I grab it."
"But we already have more than enough as it is."
"Yeah but do you want the Ice Dancers to grab it?"
"...Well don't just stand there, go get it! But what do we do with it anyway?"
"I don't know, give it to the Bromigos or something." he pointed to where Geoff and DJ were still in their current dilemma."
"Fair enough."
"That's what I thought. WE GOT A RUNNER!" he took off running, leaving Gwen to hold onto the rabbits.
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
Josee burst out laughing with a maniacal cackle "Take that Junior Pigs, nothing will stop me on my quest for gold! NOTHING!"
"...You mean our quest for gold." Jacques pointed out.
"You know what I meant!"
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
The rest of the teams continued to struggle, but some had better luck than others.
Devin picked up two more rabbits and stuffed them in the bag that Carrie was holding "That makes 7, we're almost there! You know we really do make an awesome team."
Carrie blushed slightly and gave a small smile "Yeah, I guess we do. Hey Devin, now probably isn't the best time but there's something that-"
"Hold that thought. BUNNIES!" he charged after a few of them, only to be hit by Kevin driving a tractor while chasing after the fake albino bunny, which we will get to in a moment.
At the same time, Jen made her way over to Carrie "So how are things going with him?"
Carrie let out a sigh "In all honesty I have no idea, I mean usually I have to wait until he gets off of what Adam has dubbed as Devin-Drive and who knows how long that will take."
"No need to get upset over it, I'm sure it's just a phase. Has anything like this happened to him before?"
"Oh yeah, loads of times. Usually it ends after about an hour or two when Adam slaps him across the face, but there's no way I'm gonna do that."
"Just let him wear himself out, it's not like he can stay this way for the whole second half of the race right?"
"...Oh lord he's going to be like this for the entire second half of the race." and she quickly ran off after Devin.
"I still ship it." Jen looked down and noticed a rabbit at her feet "Come here little guy, I'm not going to hurt you." she ran after the bunny as it bolted away from her, only for her foot to get stuck in a nearby hole, followed by a loud crack "Oh god, of all things please let it be the bone and not the boot! These things are expensive and insanely rare in any country except Croatia!"
The rabbit seemed to flip her off before hopping away with a malicious grin plastered across its face.
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
"Now!" still fixated on the kangaroo, the Stepbrothers pounced on it and managed to catch it in their sack "Alright we finally got it, the Stepbrothers for the win!" and then they started getting dragged around everywhere by the kangaroo.
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
(About 5 minutes earlier)
Kevin shoved a farmer out of his tractor "Son of a cop, I'm appropriating this vehicle for the sake of a reality TV show!" he started chasing after the fake albino bunny, hitting Devin with the tractor along the way "Your days of murdering innocent crops are over!" he ran through a fence and into a field of corn, only to run into a gas tank, and his expression turned dull "Oh crap." and then it exploded, but he continued onwards, now being covered from the explosion and plowed on after the fake albino bunny, with the Stepbrothers being dragged right behind him, and he chased the bunny until they reached the dock "Well what the hell do you know, what's up on this dock?" he received various terrifying chattering noises "What you want me to look over there so you can hop to freedom? Yeah like that's happening, there's no way in hell I'm stupid enough to-" he was cut off when the Stepbrothers and the kangaroo landed on him, causing him to roll forward and send all three of them crashing into the lake.
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
At the same time, DJ made his way back over to Geoff with 10 rabbits "Alright man we've got 10 rabbits, now let's head over and-" he was cut off by a loud splash.
Josee tried to hide her menacing grin "Oh wow, did you see that tractor take a dive over there? I wonder who was reckless enough to drive it. Oh wait, it was Jen! I think she was screaming about her Prince Charming in a cowboy hat to come and save her!"
"Actually I'm right here."
Josee and the others looked over and saw Jen inching her way over "Uh… Hey look a giant bladed out version of the Hulk!" and she ran away.
DJ looked up and his expression paled "Oh crap."
Sure enough, above them was a hideous hulking figure with glowing green eyes, a metal mask across his face with his teeth being visible on the side of the mouth, his body being hulking and muscular with blade sticking out from virtually everywhere, blue veins also being visible in various spots and areas "I can sense it, he is on this planet. The one that I have slain time and time again, and yet he continues to haunt me even after all of these milenia. The time has come, now I shall slay the boy who embodies that power and then I, Metallum, the Cosmic Elemental of Metal, shall rule over the universe and no one shall dare to defy me!" and he suddenly blitzed away.
"...Well that was super disturbing."
"Tell me about it." Geoff forced his ankle back to the way it should be, crying out in pain as he did so, and turned towards Jen "So are you okay?"
"Not really." Jen let out a sigh "I mean the ankle is bad enough but these boots can only take so much dirt, not to mention they're super expensive."
"Oh. You know I think I know of a way you could get through the challenge and keep your boots clean despite the whole ankle thing and all."
"Really, how so?"
"Well…" he forced himself to his feet and picked up Jen in his arms bridal style, both of them blushing.
"Oh… wow…" she noticed the cowboy hat he was wearing "So the hat…"
"Yeah it's suede."
"No it's not, it's a blend."
"...That dick at the counter ripped me off!"
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
"As Geoff and Jen share some more romantic tension than they already had, more and more teams are finding unique ways to bag their bunnies. Some are good, some are great, some are none of the above."
Lorenzo let out a sigh as he and Chet dragged themselves back to dryland "You know I think it's about time for us to give that poor albino rabbit a rest already."
Chet nodded "Oh yeah totally, I mean it's not like we want to hurt it or anything. We're not hunters."
"Oh yeah totally, I mean they're probably endangered- Wait dude look!" he pointed to where another figure was resting in some nearby bushes. Grab it before that one gets away like the other one!"
"I'm on it!" Chet grabbed it by the ears, revealing it to be a baby kangaroo, only for the other kangaroo to snatch it away from them "Oh hey, wow is this your mom? There there nice albino rabbit." they both got kicked into the same nearby tree "Hey Lorenzo?"
"Yeah?"
"I… hate… albinos."
"Me too bro, me too."
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
At the same time, Carrie and a soaking wet Devin handed their sack of bunnies over to the farmer and received their tip, with the Fashion Bloggers and Bromigos right behind them "It says we have to glide asunder from the great down under? Wait what?"
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
"Yeah you heard her, teams will now have to take one of the provided glider and fly away from Australia to the Chill Zone located at the aspiring mountain of New Zealand. Unlike all of the other legs of the race, due to the previous double elimination in Finland, the last team to arrive WILL be cut from the race. Now then, as the Best Friends, Fashion Bloggers and Bromigos hurtle their way into the lead, more and more teams begin to finish up the challenge."
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
"GIVE US OUR TIP!" Josee snatched the tip away from the farmer and bolted for the glider, with Jacques right behind her.
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
"Take these fluffy sunshiny balls of hell away from us." Ennui and Crimson handed their bag of bunnies to the farmer and walked away after receiving their tip "I never wanted to see any off those fluffy balls of lame for as long as I live."
"It's weird though." Crimson noted.
"What is?"
"It's rather baffling, how could something so cute and cuddly be capable of destroying a continent?"
"I know right? They're like a plague, a happy hopping wave that spreads chaos, famine and death everywhere it goes." his expression softened as he looked back to see a black rabbit poke its head out of their bag.
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
"I've got it, I've got it!" Spud was chasing after a nearby bunny until he hit himself in the face with a rake "Ow! Bogus!" he landed on another bunny beneath him "Hey check it out, I caught one!"
"Alright dude, way to fall!" Rock pumped a fist, only to notice a nearby snake with a lot of lumps.
"Cool, check it out!"
"Yeah but Earth to Spud, we've gotta be catching rabbits not a snake!"
"Dude take a look, we've got all we need right here. You know how many snakes that I've owned so I'm a pro at IDing bulges so I can tell if it's swallowed my phone or a bike or my neighbor's cat or anything."
"That's why I keep telling you not to let your snake out of the house."
"Well whatever, rip it open!" he launched the rabbits out of the snake's gut and straight into the open bag.
"Alright we've got them, that's all 10 and now we're good to go! Way to kick ass Spud, you just pulled this off pretty much single handed!"
"Oh hell yeah, rock on!" he started doing air guitar.
"...Yeah sure, why not." Rock started to join in.
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
Kevin finally rose up from the water with the fake albino rabbit in hand "Oh yeah! 7 minutes and 42 seconds, that's a new record!"
"Took you long enough!" that was when Gwen showed up with their bag or bunnies "You can't just take off like that, for all you know I could've lost all the other rabbits!"
"Hey I say it was worth it, I nabbed the albino didn't I?" he held up the fake albino, only for the power to melt off with the water "Gwen. Not a word."
"Chill out crazy, I know that it wasn't your fault. The bunny didn't do this either, but I know who did."
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
The final leg of the race arrived for some of the teams.
Don was quick to address the teams as they arrived "Fashion Bloggers congratulations, you're the first team to arrive. The Bromigos come in an an almost impossible to tell second, the Ice Dancers take third and the Best Friends are in fourth place."
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
Jacques cringed as he listened to Josee throw a massive tantrum "Okay so maybe telling Josee to use Geoff's crush on Jen to our advantage wasn't the most ethical thing to do but it was better than letting Josee cheat, she might be content with cheating to win but I am not!"
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
"The race for first place, and the top 4, has come to an end, but the race for not last place has begun in earnest. As more and more of the teams glide to the Chill Zone some talk strategy, some don't and one team has a new member."
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
Ennui held up their new third member, the black rabbit now totally gothed out "This is Loki, he's a member of our team now so live with it."
Crimson nodded "He's named after the dark norse god that destroys lives. And the character from the MCU, those movies are awesome."
"He's also super low key, which works out great for us." this was followed by a very loud snarl from Loki "See?"
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
"And one team is still boxing with a kangaroo. And losing. Hilariously."
Sure enough, Chet tried to box with the kangaroo and failed miserably, which lead to him being punched into a nearby tree for like the umpteenth time "You know, it's times like this I miss having someone to blame for all of the crap that I go through."
"You know maybe the two of us are allergic to albinos." Lorenzo offered "I mean it only makes sense doesn't it?"
"Hey yeah you're right, there's no way in hell that a bunny could get the better of us right?" this was when the actual albino bunny jumped on him "What the- What the hell is this thing supposed to be?!"
"Oh crap I think it's a giant maggot!"
"Get it off me, GET IT OFF ME!"
"Oi mates!" that was when the farmer showed up "Right on mates, that right there be the ringleader, that little albino bugger. You two dingoes can head on over to that Chill Zone that your mate Don was talking about." he snatcched the albino bunny and handed them a tip.
"Really? Okay."
"...Chet you're not moving." Lorenzo pointed out.
"Yeah I was actually thinking that maybe we should just lie here for a few more minutes until he's done eating all of this stuff off of me."
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
"While the Stepbrothers take a breather, more and more teams are taking off towards New Zealand and most of them either have reached or are reaching the Carpet of Completion and were counted off."
Sure enough, one by one the next group off teams arrived at the Chill Zone and were counted off by Don, starting with the Goths.
Father & Son.
"6th place!"
The Rockers.
"7th place!"
The Sisters.
"8th place!"
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
"With only three teams left in the running, it's down to just three other teams, those being the Stepbrothers, the Artists, and the Reality TV Prois, in the race for not last, and only one of them has taken off."
Sure enough, Owen and Noah were gliding towards New Zealand, until he let out a massive fart in the plane "Wasn't me."
Noah took a moment to vomit and leveled a glare at Owen "I despise the things that come out of you."
"Hey come on little buddy, when I hold those things I end up getting all sweaty and then it gets even worse."
"...And just like that I'm unbelievably tempted to throw myself out of this glider."
"What that doesn't happen to you? Hey come on Noah!"
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
By this point, Gwen and Kevin were finally gliding their way to the Chill Zone, with her flying the glider "Well at least we're not going to come in last so that's good right?"
"Yeah you've got that right." Kevin leaned back "You know all the clouds totally look like white stuff."
"I know, it sickens me."
"Oh come on, think of all of the amazing white things in life."
"The list currently implanting itself in your head better not start with Crack or Marijuana which is actually green and just wrapped in white, I know you and I don't want to hear it."
"...Oh look, we're about to crash into a mountain." they began hugging each other and screaming at the top of their lungs "I bet you wish you were with Cody right now!"
"Seriously, of all the times to do that you have to do it right now?!" and then they crashed into the mountain.
"Just for the record, I'm going to fly the plane next time."
"Just like this time I'm going to say that this was your fault."
"Fair trade then."
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
Don counted off the Reality TV Pros as they arrived at the Chill Zone "8th place! 8 teams are down, only 2 remain and one of them WILL be heading home today."
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
By this point Chet and Lorenzo were gliding towards the Chill Zone as well "You know I'm way too glad that we were able to catch that albino and got away from that bigger and darker and angrier two headed albino."
Lorenzo nodded and looked out the window "Yeah I know what you mean but that's all in the past, now we're looking at nothing but beautiful and peaceful- OH COME ON! YOU'VE GOTTA BE KIDDING ME!"
AS it turns out, the kangaroo had hitched a ride and tore off one of the wings of the glider with its teeth, sending them spiralling downwards towards the Chill Zone.
"I! HATE! ALBINOS!"
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
Gwen looked over the mountains to see the Chill Zone in the distance "Well we're about 1,500 feet away from where we're supposed to be, our glider is busted, and the Stepbrothers are spiralling towards it while getting their asses kicked by a kangaroo. Adam flashbacks aside, I'd say that we're pretty much screwed."
"Yeah well amen to that." Kevin was trying and failing to get himself out of the glider "I can't get the seatbelt undone and my arm is busted thanks to the crash. Just go ahead and leave me here Pasty, it's my screw ups that got us into this mess so go ahead and let me pay the price for it."
"...You know you're not the only one who's learned a thing or two from Adam. Well forget it you f*cking psychopath, I don't abandon my friends when they need me the most." she ripped off his seatbelt and slung Kevin over her shoulder "We're gonna get the hell off of this rock of we're gonna DIE TRYING!" this was followed by a massive amount of rumbling "You know what I'm just gonna go ahead and say my bad now because this is going to suck worse than my time on Total Drama Action." and then the snow started falling.
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
By this point Chet and Lorenzo had crashed their glider near the Chill Zone "There's the Chill Zone, it's right there. We're almost there, just a little bit further."
"Oh god, I'm not so sure that I can make it." and then Lorenzo looked back to see the kangaroo, and its baby within the pouch, burst up from the wreckage of the glider, both of them still very pissed off "And now I can."
"RUN!" and so they took off running towards the Chill Zone at full speed.
Don observed the chase to the Chill Zone from afar "The second to last team is coming in like there's no tomorrow, and with a kangaroo that angry that might be the case. It looks like it's all over for the Artists." and that was when the massive avalanche hit the Chill Zone and everyone in the area.
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
It wasn't long before the two semi frozen teams had been pulled out of the snow and were waiting to see the results.
Don was quick to address them "Artists, Stepbrothers, this was by far the closest race that we've ever had in the overall race. Our judges are really going to have to go over this one super close in order to make sure that-" he tapped his earpiece "Wait a second, what do you mean we don't have judges? So then who's that guy at the craft table? Well no he's eating a bagel. Okay hold on a second." he pulled out a camera and studied the footage for a moment "Okay racers, after closely reviewing the footage I've decided that the Artists…" this caused Gwen and Kevin to cringe "...were not the last ones to reach the Chill Zone, the Stepbrothers have been cut from the race!" this was met with groans.
"Oh hells to the yeah!" Kevin wrapped an arm around Gwen and caught her in a bone crushing one armed hug, nearly crushing the life out of her.
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
"Sometimes in life you have to take what you can get." Gwen noted "Now all we have to do is put this one behind us and focus on winning the race and taking the Ice Dancers down. Plus now I'm taking charge so now we'll see just how far we can get." she received a number of various nods from Kevin "Yep, we're going all the way to the top."
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
Chet and Lorenzo were still complaining over their loss as they were dragged away from the show by security "We totally didn't lose, stop playing that farewell footage and rubbing our faces in it."
Lorenzo nodded "Yeah you've got that right, we're not reminiscing and you can't make us you bozos! We hate this show and you know what, we're gonna make our own race show and it'll be way better than this crap!"
"Oh yeah and they'll all be ninjas!"
"And they'll go to fireworks factories in space!"
"Oh hell yeah! You're so my bro!"
"You're so my bro, hug it out with me man!"
"You got it my man!" and they hugged it out just as they were tossed off into the sunset, which is where the episode cut off.
A/N:
See in this universe I made Devin more motivated by breaking up with Shelley since she cheated on him with her tennis instructor, making him and Carrie come in first again as a result. I also had them give the Fashion Bloggers a win because why not right? They deserve another win.
Now that I've revised this chapter and taken out the Goths' early elimination in Finland, that means that everyone's favorite third goth Loki has arrived!
So yes, I took out the dreaded double elimination round. I like the Rockers and I think how they went was just as unfair as Leshawna's elimination in Total Drama Island. The Stepbrothers however, I honestly didn't care about them that much since they really got on my nerves.
The fact that the Rockers made it past this leg in the race is the second major diversion from canon, the first being the Fashion Bloggers making it past Transylvania. This was originally the third but since I changed it so the Goths made it past Finland, it's now the second.
