Mergers: Mitzy, Asuka, Bobby, Marty, Colmilllo, Liz, Camila, Mitch, Veronica
Nelly still seemed to be the only host standing around this time. She was on the phone, speaking with some unknown person "Topher's going to be kept for questioning of treason? Well, if you say so. Hey, if he's executed do you think I can get his organs for science?"
"Not legal? Can you check?" she waited on the phone, slowly nodding her head. "Fine! Maybe if I cure cancer I won't share it then"
The nurse hung up the phone, clearly annoyed "Whatever… I'll get other organs. Doesn't matter." she cleared her throat "Anyways!"
"Last time on Arcade, Insignificant and his North Korean buddies came in and mucked up the place. But, our contestants were surprisingly capable, taking on this threat and defeating them. Because of this, Mitzy gets full access to the VIP rooms and Liz got to eliminate Walter, thanks to her gal pals request. Wonder if she'll regret that move" she snickered a bit.
"Oh, and we've had a little stowaway sneak her way into Marty's room. I'll have to get Lana to get the rat poison next time I see her" the scene showed Maxine jumping up and down on Marty's bed.
"But that was last time. Now we're here in this new Nelly era, a better era even. But let's see if the contestants feel the same on today's episode of Total. Drama. Arcade!"
Intro Starts
"Dear Mom and Dad, I'm Doin' Fine," Topher and Nelly stood at the front of the island, with the nurse rapidly measuring Topher's limbs and where his organs should be.
"You guys are on my mind." The camera zoomed past the two hosts to an abandoned-looking city. In the middle of the plaza was a giant pool that the camera dove into. At the bottom, Dylan was trying to pull a chest up to the surface.
"You asked me what I wanted to be And now I think the answer is plain to see," Dylan felt someone tapping her on the shoulder. She turned around, only for Ian to come out of nowhere and swim away with the chest. Bubbles floated up to the surface, where Bobby floated on a raft. Bobby looked nervous about the water.
"I wanna be famous!" Colmillo was holding Mitch in a chokehold on land as the writer desperately tried tapping out.
"I wanna live close to the sun," in one of the abandoned buildings Camila was waving her hands around mystically over a crystal ball as Marty just stared past it and at her chest. Veronica meanwhile just crossed her arms skeptically.
"Go pack your bags, 'cause I've already won," inside the crystal ball Camila saw Ellis having a casual friendly conversation with Thomas whose fingers were crossed behind his back.
"Everything to prove, nothing in my way" past the duo, Michael and Mimos were sitting on the ground in the middle of nowhere just enjoying some peace until Vinnie fell down on top of him with a beehive in her hands.
"I'll get there one day" past them Matt was using his walking stick to walk around when Vinnie ran past him with the bee nest in her hands while dragging Micheal behind her. Matt fell to the ground as the bees quickly swarmed him.
"Cause I wanna be famous!" back in the abandoned city Mitzy and Tess were lying on the ground, smiling to themselves as they drew a comic. Liz looked down at her work and gave her a thumbs-up before feeling Bailey hug her from behind. Making blood come from her nose. However, Maxine came in and stomped on her paper
"Na na na na na na na na" in one of the buildings Therion and Charlotte are playing a game in a room before Charlotte laughed confidently once beating the gamer. That was before another character suddenly beat both of them. They turned to see Asuka easily beat her while looking away from the screen.
"I wanna be, I wanna be, I wanna be famous" Walter was looking around the dock to the island, as he walked he could see some footsteps on the ground as he slowly followed them. As he got closer to the camera he flashed a flashlight at the camera.
"I wanna be, I wanna be, I wanna be famous" The light from the flashlight turned to the moon as it slowly moved down to the cast. Jaz and Antoinette were sitting together by the fire. Jaz saw the camera on them and quickly pushed Antoinette out of the way, trying to get the camera to focus on her before the other girl pushed her right back. The other contestants slowly whistled
Intro Ends
It was early in the morning. Asuka was snoring loudly in her sleep as she rocked back and forth in her bed. She was currently dreaming of rocking out and playing in front of a massive crowd of people who were cheering on her name.
However, when she heard a creak in the opposite side of her room her eyes slowly peeked open. Standing above her sleeping body was a figure that looked to be entirely pitch black, staring down at her while making measurements.
"Wha-" she looked up, frowning a bit before fully waking up to realize what was happening "Back off you F!*)$O creep!" she yelled, leaning back in her bed to kick the intruder's throat, knocking them onto their back.
The rocker jumped to a stand, preparing to tackle them when she found the person had disappeared from the spot.
Asuka frowned, rubbing her eye "That was… something" she started looking around the room, trying to see if anyone else was around before she passed out right again in her bed with a simple smile.
Confessional: Asuka
"Gotta say, was a weird way to wake up. I think he was after my organs. Or he wanted to steal my flesh so he could wear it. Honestly, I've had stalkers of all shapes and sizes so it's not that weird to wake up to something like that. I just wouldn't expect anyone on this island was that obsessive stalker type… If I have to guess maybe it was Liz or Marty. They seem like the obvious bet"
XXX
Mitzy was sitting in the first class area with a miserable expression. She was all by herself and now felt like she was trapped in a corner. The Thruple was still a powerful voting block and Bobby is obviously going against her since he was close to eliminating her last time.
"I feel like Mitch at this point" she muttered in defeat "How am I not going to be voted out now that I'm on my own?"
She silently looked down, trying to think of something before she heard something splashing in one of the many pools in the VIP section. Right across the hall.
"Who's up here?" the artist frowned, slowly opening her door and glancing into the other room, where Maxine and Marty were playing Marco Polo. The Villaness had her eyes shut and was walking around the pool trying to find him, while he was simply sitting on the edge of the pool with just his foot in the water.
"What… are you two doing in here?"
Maxine opened her eyes as the two of them looked over at her. Marty grinned, shrugging his shoulders "It's fine, we're just here because you get the pass to the VIP section so we thought you'd want some old buddies coming up to join you"
"Well, I guess it's nice to have you guys come up and join me…" Mitzy slowly formed a smile on her face "I guess I could invite a few of the others up here to try having some fun"
"Doesn't sound like an issue for me" Marty mused, flashing her a smile as he kicked the water.
The Villainess, however, just seemed a bit dejected as she crossed her arms "Yea, I guess that's fine"
Confessional: Maxine
She scowled and crossed her arms in annoyance "This stinks. I just wanted to play with Marty in the water. But no! He didn't even bother to check out my swimsuit. Villainy deserves attention for her evil costume!"
XXX
After inviting Asuka, Liz, and Mitch; everyone ended up arriving. Except for Bobby, who got Colmillo to send a letter.
Mitzy silently looked down at the letter. Giving it a blank stare before she opened and read it.
"Dearest Mitzya. I do wish I could come to your event, but I hate to get myself wet. I'll have to come join you all some other time, perhaps if you have hotdogs for a meal. Either way, I send my best regards
-dearest Bobbert"
"I don't know why he sent me a letter just for this" she muttered.
The artist turned back to the others enjoying the pools. Colmillo and Asuka were jumping in, creating as big a splash they could before getting back out and doing it again and again; Mitch was just on his phone to the side of the water; and the Thruple was all in the hot tub.
"Didn't plan for them all to come, but maybe they'll remember this was me being kind" she simply walked forward to go and join in with the others.
In the hot tub, Liz just had a simple smile, relaxing in the hot water. Veronica and Camila were both sitting around her, but she wasn't really paying them much mind.
"Liz, why aren't you staring right now?" Camila scowled.
She just smiled at them "I can do that plenty during the day. I'm honestly just trying to enjoy a little break"
"Don't make us beg for the attention" Veronica whispered dryly.
"What was that?" Liz tilted her head while opening her eyes again.
"She didn't say anything" Camila quickly waved off her question.
"Liiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiz!" Asuka called while waving around her phone "Colmillo threw it in the pool and it's not working anymoooooooooore!"
The mother figure shot up, rushing over to the rocker "Let's get that set into some rice and get the water absorbed"
Once she was up, she left two annoyed women still in the hot tub, crossing their arms firmly.
Confessional: Veronica
She slouched forward in her seat with a quiet grumbling "We failed that trivia game on purpose, yet she doesn't seem any more interested in us. If she were normal you think she would've taken the hint! Whatever. We can, like, make it waaaaaaaaay more obvious in this challenge!"
XXX
As they played around, Mitch was still just talking to his phone, which had Monica on it. He was just smiling a bit, handing her some icecream even if she couldn't actually eat it.
However, before she could even pretend to try the icecream Colmillo sprayed the two of them with a very powerful jolt from a watergun.
"Hey, watch it!" he yelled, immediately covering his phone before trying to clear off the water "Monic is weak to water. You don't know how much it could take to short circuit her"
The wrestler just shrugged at him, pumping up the gun again before coating him in water again "No offense to you but I'm not all too worried about messing with your "girlfriend""
She was about to spray him all over again when Asuka rapidly moved in the way of the situation "Let's settle down here. I love fucking with people like the next gal but we can be way more productive in that!"
"I doubt that" Colmillo crossed her arms with an annoyed expression "...But I'm listening"
Asuka started leading her friend away from Mitch, flashing him a smile… before a bucket of water poured down on him. She howled like a maniac, slapping herself on the knee.
"Oh, that's classic! Make them comfy and throw them through a loop!"
Pretty much immediately after Colmillo started laughing with her, just annoying the fear-fanatic all the more "I hate all of you"
Confessional: Mitch
"Their pranks are so absolutely not funny. They could have hurt Monica, yet they didn't bother. To think about hurting her because "Oh, it's funny!"" he just shakes his head "I'll show them what's really funny… after I know what the challenge is, at least"
XXX
While they were enjoying things, the door to the room suddenly shot open. The contestants looked to the side, finding Nelly standing at the door. She was dressed like normal, but she now had a scarf wrapped around her neck.
Marty looked back to Maxine, but she had hid under the water to avoid being seen. Standing behind the host was Bobby "So this is where you all went and hid. I thought only Mitzy was given this VIP for the rest of the season?"
"She invited us" Marty shrugged.
"I didn't invite you" Mitzy deadpanned at him.
"Doesn't matter" Nelly waved dissmisively "We have a challenge we actually planned ahead of time. Meet me back in the VR zone"
"Was that zone not flooded?" Mitch asked while clutching his phone "That was a whole lot of the island"
The nurse shrugged "It's probably fine. I told Lana to fix up all the flooding issues we have to it'll be fine"
Marty silently looked into the water, seeing that Maxine was starting to lose the color in her face "Alright, let's just go and do it!" he declared, shooting out of the water to push Nelly right out of the room. The rest of the contestants slowly followed after them.
Once the room was empty the villainess shot out of the water, desperately inhaling air "Drowning isn't as funny as the villain comics made it out…"
The contestants got their VR sets on, and powered it up once they were down there. This time, the world they were sent to wasn't all that different to the real world compared to most other adventures. It just looked like old rustic America with massive extensive deserts. Currently they were standing on a bridge separating two, two story buildings. Both sides looked similar, with two entrances on the bottom and two routes out of the opening on the second level.
"Ugh, helmets are so not my style" Veronica whined, trying to pull the military helmet off but it just wouldn't budge.
Camila silently glanced at her own eyepatch and frowned "I must say I don't think Nevada is where pirates come to mind"
They both then looked straight to Liz, who was smiling at her white "You look good though" they said at the same time.
"I've got a knife on mine!" Colmillo grinned ear to ear. She was dressed in a black suit and was casually swinging her knife around.
"Glad you're all enjoying yourselves" Nelly's hologram appeared before them "Because today's challenge is a PC classic, Team Fortress 2!"
Mitch nodded his head slightly "I know that game. I only play it during Scream Fortress but it can be fun…" he looked down at himself to see he was dressed like the Scout, except he had short-shorts on "I don't remember this part though…"
Nelly just shrugged at him "I'm sure it's Monica's little touch to the game. But I don't really care. Because today and today only, you will be playing in teams!"
Asuka raised her hand, like she was trying to say something but her voice was almost too muffled to really comprehend anything.
"Correct you are! Teams will be randomly decided, including which team will be taking the extra player!"
A "?" block appeared above all of them before it started spinning around rapidly. Slowly, these boxes came to a stop, revealing these teams.
"On blue we will be having Bobby, Colmillo, Marty, Asuka, and Liz. So our red team will be Mitzy, Veronica, Camila, and Mitch"
The big slob had a large smile on his face when he heard they would be the team with the majority. He was currently holding a massive minigun like it weighs nothing.
"What is the action we'll take part in?" Mitzy asked, pushing up on her construction helmet with her wrench.
Nelly clasped her hands together "Another good question. In each of your bases, there will be a briefcase filled with your 'intelligence'. All you need to do is grab this intelligence, and bring it back to your base and win. First to deliver it will win this challenge"
"That's almost too easy" Marty grinned, raising his sniper rifle and pointing it at Mitch's head to tease him a bit. Which more than worked, as the horror freak looked close to passing out.
"It might be, we'll just have to wait and see" their host clapped her hands, shooting both teams back to their spawns. "And so, the game may begin… now!"
Confessional: Mitzy
"I know this game kind of well. I've had friends who wanted me to draw the characters from the game. So… on my team we have me as the Engineer, Veronica's the Soldier, Camila's the Demo, and Mitch is scout. Honestly, that's a really good combo of classes, got support, defense, and offense covered pretty well."
She scratched the back of her head "But then there's the other team… Spy's usually aren't a serious threat, but Colmillo is pure muscle and wielding a knife. Marty being a sniper might not be worrying but Bobby and Liz playing the Heavy-Medic combo is gonna hurt. And I guess there's also Asuka is pyro. She counters two of our four, so that's great"
XXX
On the Blu side, Bobby and Liz were the first two to step out to the front area, going straight for the bridge as Liz healed him.
"Be careful to not hurt yourself too bad Bobby" she warned her patient, who simply smiled and flashed her a thumbs up.
To their surprise, there didn't seem to really be anyone outside the other base. The medic appeared concerned, but Bobby just kept pushing before reaching the lower level of the other base.
Inside, they found Camila smiling coyly. "Ah, enemy. That means…" Bobby slowly remembered the point of this challenge and revved his minigun and kept moving forward.
He was about to turn the psychic into minced meat when Liz suddenly stepped onto a set of sticky bombs.
"Hope you can forgive me for this Lizzy" she saluted, setting the stickies off.
Naturally, it blew a hole right through both of Camila's opponents. However, she didn't plan for how big her explosions would. The blast range was large enough to incinerate her just as well as her opponents, already striking 3 people down.
Further in this base, Mitzy was repeatedly banging her wrench against her sentry, trying to get it past level two so she can go do something on her own. Little did she realize Colmillo was standing behind a corner, putting on a mask of Mitch.
The wrestler turned to face the artist, appearing exactly like Mitch "Oh, I-I-I'm so scared of g-going out there. Can I… stay back with you?"
"Sure" Mitzy shrugged, keeping focus on the sentry "Not a problem for me"
"That's such a relief" 'he' wiped his brow.
Once Colmillo was sure the engineer was focused on the sentry, she pulled the knife from her pocket, planning to stab her right in the back when her target suddenly turned back around.
"Colmillo, I literally watched Mitch run off at the start of the round. He wouldn't feel safe around anyone"
She was about to shoot her, when the wrestler swatted the shotgun from her hands. This, however, resulted in her disguise disappearing.
"You shouldn't have done that" Mitzy warned with a small smile as her sentry focused on them.
"If I were you I'd be more worried about yourself" she smirked back.
The sentry fired on the two of them, first mowing down its creator before firing through Colmillo.
Confessional: Colmillo
"Eh, this class's powers kinda suck. Stabbing people in the back isn't as fun as stabbing their faces ten times. And I don't really get this other stuff either"
She reached into her pockets, chucking a sapper and invisible watch over her shoulder "Man, I wish I got what Asuka has"
XXX
Speaking of Asuka, she was silently making her way across the bridge with Marty watching her from behind as support.
Or as supportive as he could be while staring at the back of her pants. "This is an alright challenge" he mused before suddenly hearing someone's high-pitched screams
"What the hell?" He unscoped to look around, before noticing Veronica flying straight at him with a shovel in hand. Her scream wasn't a battle cry but pure fear as she tried to aim herself.
Marty's eyes shot open as he pulled an smg from his pocket. He tried to gun her down from the sky but her momentum didn't slow down one bit.
She shot two rockets straight at his feet, immediately obliterating him, but actually keeping herself alive "Oh, that's a relief. I'm never doing that again!"
The rich girl clutched the rocket, still trying to get used to being on the ground again when she realized her health was currently at 5hp. "No way am I doing like everyone else" she started speed walking to the nearest healthpack.
With most of the two teams now dead, they could only watch the surviving contestants as they waited to respawn. However they had no idea where Asuka or Mitch ran off to. Eventually Mitzy respawned with Camila at the same time.
"We have to be way more careful this time around. Maybe we should both stick together and guard the base while Veronica and Mitch are running around in their base" the artist tried to come up with a gameplan now that both teams knew what the other was capable of.
"I suppose that would be fine. Beats running into another fight to the death"
They left the room, and almost immediately a large container of gasoline was thrown at them, dousing them in it.
"Ah, what the hell!?" Camila whined, wiggling her hands around to try getting the gas off "You're lucky this is in VR!"
Mitzy was also trying to wipe off the gas, but more importantly, at the other end of the room they could see Asuka staring at them. It was hard to see her past the gas mask, but her flamethrower and pose made it easy to see she was about to commit a warcrime.
"H-hey Asuka. Remember… How fun the activity was this morning? When we got to play around in the pool?" she smiled nervously.
The rocker just ignored her question and lit up the flamethrower, burning into them and turning them into ashes in just a few moments. She raised her flamethrower above her head like she was a caveman cheering the discovery of the wheel.
Confessional: Asuka
"Mmmf mm mmfm mmfmm!" she spoke before letting out a muffled laugh, swinging her gascan around with little care "mhmhm mmm mhmhmh"
XXX
On the other side of the map Colmillo, Marty, Liz, and Bobby were now starting to respawn. The massive slob hadn't learned a single lesson as he was just going straight back for the other side of the map.
"W-would either of you want to play support for Bobby this time?" Liz smiled hopefully at the other two who respawned "I-I think after last time I'd have more fun playing battle medic"
"I can go with him" Marty suggested, now holding a bow and arrow in his hands "Can't be too hard to keep up with him" he grinned, jumping onto Bobby's back to be his… back-up.
The team's mom then turned to the wrestler "What shall you be doing now?"
She just snickered a bit, spinning her pistol around on her finger "I'm gonna try and hunt down Mitch. He's running around here somewhere, I know that much. So I'm gonna have my fun"
"Definitely sounds… fun" Liz forced a small smile "I'm going to play defense myself. I remember Marty being taken down by Veronica, so better safe than sorry"
Colmillo scoffed "Better you than me. Playing defense is super lame" she started walking away, stabbing her knife into a wall and created a massive hole in it.
"I'm glad I'm not Mitch" she muttered in relief, walking to one of the two routes down to their intelligence.
In this route, there was a small health pack that would slowly respawn now and then. Veronica was sitting in the corner, healing herself in slow intervals. That's when the medic walked into the room, and the two of them were face-to-face.
"Oh, hello Veronica" she smiled nervously "D-don't mind me, I'll just go… the other way"
She was about to leave the room when Veronica grabbed her by the arm "Hold on a second, you're a medic right? You can heal me!"
"I don't think that's how it works" she frowned, feeling the rich girl pull her in.
"C'mon, no one would know that you did it~"
Liz silently started blushing "O-ok, ok I c-can try to do this" she pulled out her medi-gun, aiming it at her and shooting. A blue energy surrounded Veronica, but it didn't have any effect.
"Ah, that's annoying" Veronica groaned "Whatever, I'll just go and take the intelligence" she turned around to go and grab the intelligence, before hearing loud footsteps coming their way.
"Yo, Liz, I can hear you talking to someone!" Colmillo called, having come back around "Did you capture someone?"
The duo panicked hearing her coming. Veronica cause she would easily murder her and Liz because her teammates would think she was colluding with the enemy.
"Lizzy, you have to stab cut through me with your saw"
"I- what? I can't do that" she whispered back, just getting more panicked.
"I doubt it'll hurt, and you have a pass if you lose by making them think you were fighting against us just like everyone else" Veronica tried to reason, seeing the enemy team's spy start to turn the corner on them.
Veronica suddenly grabbed Liz's arm holding the saw before making her cut into her three separate times. The rich girl groaned a bit before collapsing onto the ground.
Liz started down at her, clearly shocked by the action. She wouldn't be snapped out of it before Colmillo slapped her hard on the back "Hey, nice job finding and taking her down! Looks like you'll do just fine on defense after all"
"I-" she whimpered slightly "Thanks"
Confessional: Veronica
"That hurt… so very much" spectator Veronica groaned "I better get some kind of kiss for that kind of sacrifice…" a small flush formed "Not that that's the reason I helped her out there or anything"
XXX
Back at the Red base, Mitzy, Camila, and Veronica glanced outside their spawn and found that Asuka didn't seem to still be spawncamping them.
"That's quite the relief" Camila sighed, opening the spawn door entirely "Let us get back to the mission at hand and defend the base"
"Uh, maybe while the three of us are together and alone we can consider… the vote?" the artist looked to the two of them to see both villainesses were smiling smugly.
"You want to work with us to eliminate lil Mitch? Is that right?"
She rapidly waved her hands "We'd only have to work together for one elimination that's all! I wouldn't plan to do it more than that"
They looked to each other, acting like they were thinking long and hard about it "We'll have to see… kind of a lot to ask…"
"I knew you would make this difficult" she whispered, rubbing her forehead. "I can't belive I'm desperate enough to work with the two meanest girls in this competition" her mind chastised herself.
Camila stepped forward and tapped her Mitzy's head "I don't suppose you're planning to throw this challenge just so you can eliminate Mitch, are you?"
"Of course not! I would never do that to Mitch!"
"You sure seemed to have a focus on eliminating Bobby. Would you throw a challenge to eliminate him?" Veronica stepped forward to also get in her face with her taunts.
"I-If you two are going to act like this I won't work with you then!"
"Please, Mitzy, we both know we could beat you in a tie breaker if needed" they couldn't help but laugh obnoxiously loud.
"Mmm mmm mfm!" they heard from another side of the room. They turned and found Asuka holding a flamethrower as well as a flairgun in her hands. On her back she was sporting a strange red, steel backpack.
Camila groaned loudly "Of course she's still here"
The rocker pulled down on her mask, revealing her face had a massive smile on her face "Sorry guys, maybe next time you guys should hope the challenge is something my brother doesn't play for fun. I know every part of this map like the back of my hand, how else can I ruin his night?!"
"That doesn't sound very nice" Mitzy muttered. Asuka saw her mouth opening to speak, and shot the flairgun at her, shooting the piping hot bullet down her gullet.
"Enough talking, let's tango!" she laughed, shooting her flamethrower and flairgun like a maniac, burning just as much of the building as her opponents.
Camila shot her stickies down at Asuka's feet, trying to blow her up like Bobby, but everytime she got close to the rocker would just airblast the stickies back under her feet.
Mitzy would just try to shoot at the pyro with her flamethrower, but her fire was keeping her well out of the range for any effective damage.
"C'mon, c'mon, you guys can do more damage than that!" she cackled.
"I'm not going to be smack talked by someone with no fashion sense" Camila growled, suddenly pulling a longsword from behind and threw herself at the target while Veronica and Mitzy shot at her with their shotguns.
Seeing the issue in standing her ground, the backpack on her back opened to reveal it was a jetpack. She just smiled confidently at them, before shooting into the air above them.
"Ugh, I'm so, like, over this" Veronica pulled out her rocket launcher, shooting her rocket up at the pyromaniac.
"Wait-!" Mitzy tried desperately to stop her but the rocket was already launched.
The rocket flew straight for Asuka, who aimed her flamethrower down at them before airblasting the rocket. It suddenly changed directions, aiming itself back at the group of women before blowing them into smithereens.
They then reappeared as ghosts back inside their spawn as they just had to wait before they could go out again. Camila and Mitzy both stared in annoyance at Veronica, before the psychic smacked the back of her head.
Back in the Blu base, Mitch was doing everything in his power to stealthfully move through the blu base. He was so careful to not be found, that he was currently using the pipes on the ceiling to sneak above eye-sight.
His progress was slow, but he was now reaching the room with the intelligence. That's when Colmillo entered the room with a confident smirk on her face "I know you're down here Mitch, I can smell your fear~!"
He froze where he stood, feeling his skin turn pale. He reached into his pockets, trying to find something he could use when Colmillo turned back around. All she would have to do was look up to find him set there.
That's when the horror fanatic found something in his pockets. He frowned slightly, before pulling it out and throwing a glass of some strange liquid at her face.
"What the-" she tried wiping her face, and found the liquid was white in color. The wrestler looked up and saw a nervous looking Mitch smile down at her.
Confessional: Mitch
The horror fanatic was blushing profusely, as well as bleeding profusely "It told me it was Mad Milk. S-so there's no way I threw… y-you know what on her. I'm not some kind of sex fiend! No way, no how!"
XXX
The inside of the base seemed to shake around with violence and pain. Bobby and Marty didn't seem to care about this as the photographer simply continued to ride on top of the slob, who was going a mile a year at the moment.
"C'mon bud, you can move a little faster" he started kicking the sides of the slob to little effect "Guess we'll be stuck here…"
That's when they suddenly heard someone panting and running their way. Marty glanced over his shoulder before realizing it was Mitch sprinting as fast as he could from a furious Colmillo who had effectively ripped apart her own suit. Since Mitch in-game was so much faster he was pretty easily outrunning her.
"Ah, Bobby, the enemy has the intelligence!" he warned before Mitch ran past them. However, instead of shooting at him the slob seemed to stop in place "Wha-" the photographer looked down to see he was chewing on a raw slab of beef.
Marty groaned, pulling out his bow and arrow and taking aim at the scout. He shot an arrow in the direction he was going, and actually managed to pierce his shoulder, but the scout kept running.
"Ah man!" he groaned loudly "he got away"
Colmillo growled, before throwing her knife on the ground "That bastard!"
As they were speaking to each other, Bobby's eyes illuminated like he just powered up. His fists were glowing the exact same color as he sprinted toward the horror fanatic.
Mitch was running as fast as he could, repeatedly looking over his shoulder over and over again to make sure Colmillo wasn't still chasing after him. Before he could even relax or feel comfortable, he heard loud stomping after him.
Turning once again, he found Bobby sprinting at him like a wild bull, almost letting out a feral growl as he actually managed to start catching up with him.
"Crap, crap, crap" he whimpered miserably, slapping his own legs to try making them run faster.
"Run coward!" Bobby cackled like he was high on the power the beef steak had given him. They ran into an open area, right before a path down to the Red intelligence when Bobby tackled him to the ground and repeatedly punched him over and over again, bellowing a hearty laugh.
After a few punches, however, he heard a robotic ding. The slob looked up and found Mitzy's sentry was facing him. At first it tilted its head, like it didn't know who he was before it started shooting him down.
The slob's power-state was wearing down as he collapsed on his back. Mitch sat there, bloody and bruised before he pulled himself back to his feet and kept running.
His run was far more relaxed than the rest of his journey back as he got to their intelligence and set the Blu suitcase down. "And the Red team wins the first round, congratulations!"
Mitch groaned, falling onto his back as he heard the rest of his team yell "First round!?" on the floor above him.
"Can't blame me if we lose now…"
The two separate teams were teleported somewhere else, sitting in small bumperkarts outside of a massive haunted mansion. The two teams looked between themselves with confused expressions.
"Oh, what now?" Marty groaned slightly.
"It's your second challenge!" Nelly suddenly appeared in front of them, dressed like a witch "You all finished the first challenge too fast, so this is your punishment!"
"That's not fair!" Camila scowled "We won fair and square"
Their host just shrugged her shoulder "Maybe cry more about it"
"Oh you cannot talk to me like that-" Camila started sitting up in her bumper cart before they were all buckled in.
"Let's not get out of control here. Your team will be given an advantage for this round, so lucky you" Nelly snapped her finger, producing a page in each of the Red team's hands.
They examined these papers before they all raised their hands at the same time. Nelly sighed, not wanting to hear any of them speak again "Those are spell pages. You can use them to give yourselves an advantage in the challenge. But you will not get an explanation on what those spells do"
Team Red didn't seem all that happier about it but they just accepted that they couldn't argue against the host. "Glad you all get it. So, to start the game, you can begin…. Now!"
Blu shot forward, making their way to the mansion with Mitch and Mitzy following close behind. But, Camila and Veronica were going rather slow as they looked at their spells.
"Can't have Liz's team lose" Camila whispered, getting a nod from her partner in crime as they pretended to stay focused. The rich girl was holding a parachute-themed spell while Camila was holding one with a boxing glove on it.
In the lead there was Marty and Liz. Behind them was Mitzy and Mitch, who were being surrounded by Colmillo and Asuka. Then Bobby was in the back with the two villainesses.
The two nerds looked to their sides, finding Colmillo and Asuka were basically waiting for them to stlip up as they drove as close as possible.
"Do you have an idea?" Mitzy whispered to the horror fanatic, who was tapping his chin in thought. While she was distracted Colmillo moved in, trying to slam into her side before the artist suddenly shot ahead, using her spell to suddenly rocket herself into the lead with a bright red glow.
Even with her gone, Asuka and Colmillo just grinned at each other before slamming into both sides of Mitch, trapping him as they drove to one of the many openings in this manner that led to a pit.
"Shoot, shoot" Mitch whimpered, getting ready to die.
"Sorry Mitch" the rocker grinned at him "But you should know by now that competitive games like this are my s)*%!"
Before he could careen down the pit he raised up his spell. Before flying off the side, he rocketed into the sky before falling down slowly with a parachute.
This surprise force accidentally pushed both Asuka and Colmillo off the side, sending them careening into the abyss. However, Mitch had so little momentum in the air he was just forced to watch himself slowly fall to his death.
"Hm, this waiting for death to come would be a good book" he muttered whilst falling well into the dark. After a few moments Bobby just went flying off the edge all on his own.
Confessional: Bobby
"I saw everyone else was driving off the edge, so I assumed they found a shortcut." he scratched his chin "Wasn't that… but I still had fun doing things with my friends!"

Mitzy was still taking the lead of the race, doing her best to turn the very sharp corners without there being a single drift button.
"Do you have an idea for how we might be able to get ahead of Mitzy?" Liz whispered to Marty "She's started to take this win away"
He rocked his head back and forth "Honestly, I have no idea how we would do that. We don't have any of those spells or anything"
That's when he snapped his finger and started texting to someone on his phone. "Marty, I don't think that's going to work in here. And who are you texting anyways?"
Marty just chuckled "It's not important, don't worry, she'll be helpful with this" on his phone he got a thumbs up from whoever he had texted.
After a few moments everyone still on the track could hear things start to shake and vibrate like crazy. Mitzy turned the corner before they heard a loud aggressive laugh in that direction. At the top of their heads they could see a small title "Mitzy is IT"
"What does that mean?" Liz worried.
They then heard a loud 'clang' noise where Mitzy was before a skull and crossbowns appeared over Marty's head. "I have no idea what it means" he admitted, trying to reach up and swat it away from his head.
As they continued to drive the loud stomping started making its way closer before a massive figure made the turn. He was dressed in torn black robes that revealed his skeletal legs and arms. He towered over them. But more importantly, he had no head, he just had a pumpkin on his head.
The two racers slowly came to a stop in front of him, before he laughed. He pulled a long axe from out of nowhere. It was curved and so sharp it looked just as effective as a blade.
"Ah… that's what that means" Marty frowned miserably "I'll see you in a bit Liz"
Not even waiting for her response or the monster's action, he put his car into reverse before rapidly backing away from the scene. Once he turned a corner the headless man started chasing after with a loud malicious cackle.
Liz frowned a bit before she kept driving "Just remember it's a game, remember it's a game. He'll be fine" she whispered to herself before driving ahead with no competition in her way to the top.
Further down, Camila and Veronica were still coasting through the challenge, leaning back nonchalantly in their bumper carts. That was, until they felt the ground under them rummage and shake violently.
"What the hell is that?" Veronica scowled, looking away from her nails that she was filing. As they looked around, Camila slowly turned to the rich girl and found the skull and crossbones over her head.
"I'm getting a dark… dangerous sense from that symbol above you" she warned.
Veronica raised an eyebrow "What are you talking about now?" she rolled her eyes, but as she did so she noticed the skull over her head "Oh. uh oh"
As they continued to drive they heard the rumblings again before turning around. In front of them was now the Headless man, laughing and swinging his blade around.
"Of course we couldn't relax for a challenge" Camila muttered before they both zoomed off as fast as they could in their bumper cars. Naturally, the headless man was never too far behind.
Up the mansion, Liz was finally driving to the top, where there was a glowing green gate over the edge of the mansion "Oh, the exit. Nice to see there wasn't much else in the way"
As she was about to make her way through the exit when she suddenly heard two cars making very loud noises as they came in. They passed through the door and slammed into Liz.
"Oh, hello girls" she smiled at them.
"Oh good you're still in" Veronica grinned "Now you can go and win"
The team mom was about to drive to the finish line before immediately stopping "Wait, you won't try finishing?"
Camila and Veronica just glanced at each other, smiling in amusement "Of course we aren't going to win. You have a far worse chance of being eliminated" the Psychic reasoned.
Her cart had entirely stopped as she turned to them "I don't want you two to throw yourselves under the bus for me"
"Please, hardly an issue" Veronica rolled her eyes.
"Yes, we'll easily outdo Mitch or Mitzy in the tiebreaker" Camila affirmed.
Liz drove back to them with a frown "I don't want you two throwing a challenge for me. That's unfair for your teammates"
"What's that matter?"
"Because I want everyone here to have fun competing. I can accept eliminating someone, because someone has to go home, but we shouldn't be going out of our way to get someone eliminated just to save me"
Clearly, the two of them just didn't seem to get what she was getting at "Do you… want us to win so you can target Colmillo or Asuka?" Veronica slowly asked.
"I don't want to be given the win" she stated flatly.
"Fine" Camila decided "We'll go through the exit, but you mustn't get yourself eliminated afterwords"
"Yea, we aren't accepting that" Veronica quickly agreed. Liz silently nodded as the two of them drove to the finish line, winning it for team Red.
Everyone was awoken from their VR sets just to find themselves already inside the elimination room with Nelly already standing in front of them. The winning team had special seats already set for them in the back so they could watch it all.
Asuka, Colmillo, and Marty all seemed confused by being shot out while Liz and Bobby just sat there like nothing was strange about the chance in setting.
"Welcome to the ceremony! I thought, earlier on in the competition, you all just too long discussing strategies and what to do and things like that. So, I thought it would be way more fun to get right to the eliminating!"
"Wait, don't we at least get to see what happened in the challenge so we have a better idea who to vote? We didn't get to watch any of the last round" Marty frowned.
Nelly rocked her head back and forth "Welllllllll, we could show you what happened, but you'll have to take an injection for that" she grinned, pulling out a syringe filled with yellow ooze.
The photographer gulped nervously "C-can't we just watch the tape?"
"Spoil sport. But still, no. I like having some fun confusion in these kinds of things. So get to it" she waved them away.
Confessional: Marty
"Kinda hard to guess who I should vote. I kinda like everyone that was on my team. But, if I have to go off the little I saw and strategy, I think Liz would make the most sense. She's easily the nicest person here, but having a three person alliance this close to the final six is a guarantee to the finale"
Confessional: Asuka
The rocker somehow still has a large flamethrower in her grasp "Man, that was the most fun challenge yet! I honestly wish the rest of the season was just me spawncamping like that! Oh, right, voting. I guess Marty, might as well make it an all girls season at this point. Could be fun"
Confessional: Liz
"I'm… thinking competing might have been a mistake. I came to try making everyone have a good time but I think I was just instilling the worst in both of them. I don't blame them, at first their manipulation was just for their own survival, but I'm the reason they became confident enough to try going out of their way to eliminate people. Maybe if I go those two will look in to themselves and not use me as… a crutch to get away with whatever they want"

The contestants came back as Nelly smiled down at them "So, for who's safe we have… Colmillo, Bobby, and Asuka!" she announced proudly, throwing 'candy' hearts at each of them "Hope you enjoy"
"Mine's moving" Colmillo raised hers into the air, frowning at it. It was slowly beating before the host snatched it away, throwing her a proper candy heart.
"My mistake" she laughed innocently "Anyways! That leaves Marty and Liz. Marty, you're… kinda a loser. Their words, not mine. Liz, meanwhile, you're in a three person alliance with Camila and Veronica. Kinda a clear target on your back for that"
"I know" Liz nodded, silently waiting for what would come.
"And so, the one being eliminated today will be…

Veronica and Camila silently watched in fear, clearly worried for how this would go. Meanwhile Liz and Mitch just seemed pretty relaxed.

Liz, sorry girl, but you're out" she threw the last heart at Marty.
"I assumed as much" the merge mother simply nodded her head, standing up as she prepared to go.
"Sorry Liz" Marty apologized, and to her surprise, she was given sad and friendly goodbyes by just about everyone in the room. Except Veronica and Camila, who were still shell-shocked by what just happened.
Liz smiled softly at her fellow contestants "I hope you don't all take this game too seriously. You should be using it as a chance to have fun and not stress so much-"
Before she could finish she was sent up the pipe, disappearing from sight. All the contestants looked to the host, who shrugged innocently "If I just let her keep going she'll go on all day"
The contestants didn't stop glaring towards her as they walked out of the room. However, as they walked out the two villainesses didn't leave, even as the lights were turned off. They were still too shocked to respond as everyone else went to sleep.
AN: And there goes Liz. Probably not a shocking elimination since the big 3 alliance would basically dominate if they kept going on from here. Still, she was honestly a fave for me to write, pervs area always a favorite and it was nice having her have more to her. First few chapters I maybe didn't do the motherly thing so well but over time I'd say she got a good role of being partners with Camila and Veronica.
