Note to Inspector Brown: I didn't know that having no previews at the end of each leg bothered you. I guess the only reason why I didn't do them was because I was lazy, but I'll do it now. Heck, maybe by the next race, I'll even include times.
Leg Three
111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111
Before the leg starts, we see Mr. Jowai walking along outside of a tree-house in the middle of a jungle clearing.
Mr. Jowai: The world of Donkey Kong Country. Here, a group of apes and chimps have fought off an army of lizards bent on taking over their island several times. This island, shaped like the head of a certain tie-wearing ape, has been targeted at least four times already, but the Kongs always manage to pull out ahead. And in the middle of the jungle, Donkey Kong's tree-house. This famous starting point in two games was the second Pitstop in a race around the VG Universe.
We see clips of the fourteen remaining teams checking into the Pitstop, starting with Tiny & Dingodile. We then see several teams gathered around a table, eating.
Mr. Jowai: After checking in, teams received a mandatory rest period. This allowed them to eat…
We see Shaggy sitting under a palm tree, sleeping in the shade.
Mr. Jowai: …Sleep…
We see Dan & Mika swimming in the ocean. Tiny splashes them playfully.
Mr. Jowai: …And mingle with the other teams. Will Tiny & Dingodile surprise themselves further and stay in the lead? And will Joker & Harley, the one team with the most enemies, climb out of last place and stay in the race? Tiny & Dingodile, whom were the first team to arrive, will be the first to depart, twelve hours later.
(PITSTOP)
It's the middle of the night as two very large figures stand on the Pitstop mat, waiting to depart. As Dingodile holds the first clue, Tiny holds a flashlight. Once the appropriate time comes along, Dingodile opens the envelope.
(TINY & DINGODILE – First to Depart)
Dingodile: (rip) Fly to the world of Suikoden 3.
Mr. Jowai: (voiceover) Teams must now fly to the world of Suikoden 3, the homeland of Samus & Reed from Season 1. Once there, they must take a marked car to Brass Castle and search for the Library where they'll find the next clue.
Dingodile: Let's get goin', Tiny!
Tiny: Right, Dingodile!
The two large figures make a quick run through the jungle until they find their marked car parked outside. Dingodile jumps behind the wheel and they drive off.
Dingodile: (voiceover) Comin' in first in the last leg was an amazin' feelin'! And it was such a shock ta find that Tiny and Ah were still in! Now that we've got a good standin', we're gonna try our hardest to make it stay that way!
Eventually, the two arrive at the airport. They park, get out, grab their backpacks and run over to the doors. However, they see a note on the front door.
Tiny: (reading) Open at seven.
Dingodile: (sigh) Great. Everyone else is gonna be here by then. We might as well get some sleep, Tiny. We're gonna need it if we're to get tickets first.
The two lay down and take a nap, unaware that their lead is about to end.
(PITSTOP)
(JOLENE & MUSH – Second to Depart)
Jolene: (rip) Fly to the world of Suikoden 3.
Mush: Let's go, sis. If we hurry, maybe we can catch Tiny & Dingodile.
Jolene: I don't know about that. They had a twenty-minute lead on us.
The two Mushrooms run through the jungle and quickly find their car. They jump in with Jolene behind the wheel and drive off.
Jolene: How long until we get to the airport, Mush?
Mush: (reading the map) About ten minutes.
Jolene: Well, by the time we get there, the next team will be getting ready to leave.
Eventually, the two arrive at the airport, and see Tiny & Dingodile laying outside the front doors, asleep.
Mush: Hey! We caught up!
Jolene: But that also means that the others will catch up as well.
(PITSTOP)
(KIM & RON – Third to Depart)
Ron: (rip) You have three-hundred bucks for this leg of the race.
Kim: We'd better get moving, Ron. We don't have much of a lead on Garfield & Arlene.
Ron: You got that right, KP. Let's go!
The two teen heroes run through the jungle and quickly arrive at their car. Jumping in, Kim drives the team off.
Kim: (voiceover) Ron and I have among the best teamwork on the race, and it's gotten us two decent standings thus far. I have confidence that we'll be one of the teams left standing at the end.
(GARFIELD & ARLENE – Fourth to Depart)
Arlene: (rip) Let's move, Garfield!
Garfield: (sigh) Yes, mother.
The two cats run into the jungle to start their trek to the airport. Of course, by then, the nest team is ready to leave.
(TALON & MALON – Fifth to Depart)
Malon: (rip) C'mon, dad! Let's move!
Talon: Don't worry, dear! We'll do well!
By the time Talon & Malon make it to the other side of the jungle, Garfield & Arlene have already taken off. The farmers jump into a car and drive off after them.
(KIM & RON)
Ron: (to the camera) We're currently in third place and we're on the way to the airport. Hopefully, we can nab a good flight and stay at the front of the pack.
Kim: Yeah. The first two teams are probably already there by now.
(PITSTOP)
(KID & ALLY – Sixth to Depart)
Kid: (rip) Let's go, Ally!
Ally: You got it, bro!
The two boxers run into the jungle. As they start running through, the next team leaves.
(RAVEN & BEAST BOY – Seventh to Depart)
Raven: (rip) You have three-hundred dollars for this leg of the race.
Beast Boy: Let's go, Rae!
Raven: Don't call me Rae!
(AIRPORT)
Kim & Ron pull up to the airport and get out. Grabbing their backpacks, they get out and run over to the doors, only to see the first two teams sleeping outside the front doors.
Kim: Well, Ron. Looks like we're camping out.
Ron: Fine with me, KP. We've caught up at least.
Soon after Kim & Ron lay down to go to sleep, the next two teams arrive. They get out and see the teams.
Talon: Well, looks like we're campin out.
Garfield: So we get to go to sleep? Good.
(PITSTOP)
(SHAGGY & VELMA – Eighth to Depart)
Velma: (rip) Looks like we're going to Suikoden 3, Shag.
Shaggy: Like, it's a good thing Paula & Jewel are from Suikoden 4.
Velma: You said it. Let's go.
As Shaggy & Velma run off, the next team leaves.
(XIAOYU & MIHARU – Ninth to Depart)
Miharu: (rip) Let's go, Xiao. If we hurry, maybe we can beat the detectives to the cars.
Xiaoyu: You got it, Miharu! Let's go!
(AIRPORT)
Raven & Beast Boy show up, Kid & Ally directly behind them. The four racers get out of their cars and run over to the airport doors, only to see everyone else laying down, sound asleep.
Ally: Looks like the airport's closed.
Beast Boy: (yawns) Great. We get an extra couple hours sleep.
The four newly-arrived racers join the others, lay down and go to sleep.
(PITSTOP)
(DAN & MIKA – Tenth to Depart)
Dan: (rip) You up for a little run through the Grasslands, Mika?
Mika: You bet, Dan! We'll trounce everyone else!
The two Street Fighters step off the mat and run headfirst into the jungle to start their trek to the cars.
Mika: Are you sure this is the way to the line of cars, Dan?
Dan: Uh…
(BRIDGET & DIZZY – Eleventh to Depart)
Bridget: (rip) Let's get going, Dizzy. Maybe we'll catch up with Dan & Mika.
Dizzy: I'm with you, Bridget. Let's go.
(AIRPORT)
Shaggy & Velma pull up to the airport and jump out. When they see everyone laying down, asleep, they decide to investigate.
Velma: The airport's closed, Shaggy.
Shaggy: We may as well, like, get some shuteye ourselves then, Velma.
As Shaggy & Velma get ready to lay down, Xiaoyu & Miharu show up.
Miharu: What's going on?
Velma: The airport's closed. It opens at seven.
Xiaoyu: We're camping out, then?
Shaggy: Like, you got it man.
(PITSTOP)
(GEESE & KRAUSER – Twelfth to Depart)
Geese: All I can say is that we'd better do better this leg than we did last time.
Krauser: Don't vorry, Geese! Ve do vell! (rip) Come, Geese! Let us go!
(OUTSIDE JUNGLE)
Bridget & Dizzy make it out of the jungle and look around for their car. They quickly spot it and run over to it.
Dizzy: (counts the remaining cars) Hey! We beat Dan & Mika!
Bridget: That's great! We've got a slight lead, then!
As the young fighters drive off, Dan & Mika emerge from the jungle. They see Bridget & Dizzy driving off.
Dan: Crap! We fell behind!
Mika: Only because we got lost, Dan! Come on! After them!
However, Dan & Mika end up following Bridget & Dizzy all the way to the airport. They all get out and see that the airport's closed.
Dan: Looks like we're getting another hour or so of sleep.
Bridget: Yeah. Well, let's hit the sack.
(PITSTOP)
(PAULA & JEWEL – Thirteenth to Depart)
Paula: (rip) We're heading to Suikoden 3, Jewel!
Jewel: Really! This is great!
Paula: It's too bad that it's not Suikoden 4. We'd finally be able to get out of last place.
Jewel: Hey, it's fine. Maybe something'll happen.
(AIRPORT)
Geese & Krauser pull up to the airport and see all of the teams asleep.
Krauser: See, Geese? Ve catch up!
Geese: Well, at least we're on even ground, now.
Krauser: Let us sleep to rest up for ven the airport opens.
(PITSTOP)
(JOKER & HARLEY – Last to Depart)
Harley: Well, Mistah J, are you ready for a leg of clobbering the competition?
Joker: Am I? I sure am! (rip) Let's go, Harley!
Harley: Right, Mistah J!
Joker: (voiceover) Harley and I don't have any friends here. Not even Geese & Krauser like us that much. This doesn't bother us all that much, because I have a few things up my sleeve that may keep Harley and I in the race.
Harley: You drive, Mistah J! The airport's only ten minutes away!
(AIRPORT)
Paula & Jewel show up next. They see everyone else sleeping and wonder what's going on.
Paula: The airport's closed!
Jewel: Great! We caught up! (face falls) Oh, no. This means that Joker & Harley are going to catch up as well.
Paula: Our only hope is that we get a better flight than they do.
Eventually, Joker & Harley show up. The two get out and see everyone asleep.
Joker: The airport's closed?
Harley: We caught up, Mistah J! We caught up!
Joker: Well, let's get some sleep. If we're to get a better flight, we'll need the running stamina.
(7:00 AM)
All fourteen teams stand outside the airport, waiting for the doors to open. Because they arrived first, Tiny & Dingodile stand at the front of the line.
Suddenly, the front doors open and all the teams rush into the airport to get to the ticket counter. Some teams get ahead of others, changing the order when they get to the ticket counter. However, during the run, Dan grabs Mika's arm and pulls her aside, out of the line.
Mika: Dan! What was that about!
Dan: Mika, I know you're mad right now, but I've got a hunch.
(KIM & RON – First on Flight 1)
Mika: What sort of hunch?
Dan: I made a call when everyone else was asleep. The ticket counter we want is over here.
Mika: What for?
(GEESE & KRAUSER – Second on Flight 1)
Dan pulls Mika over to another counter to order the tickets Dan had talked about.
Dan: How many tickets do you have left for the ten o'clock flight?
Mika: (whispers) Ten o'clock! Dan, I saw the flights! That's later than the flights that the others are lined up for.
(XIAOYU & MIHARU – Third on Flight 1)
Dan: Mika, I found out those flights have several stops. This flight is direct and arrives earlier!
Mika: (stunned) Really!
Dan: (nods) Yep. (turns to the agent) So how many tickets do you have again?
Ticket agent: We have eight tickets left on the flight.
Dan: We'll take all eight.
(DAN & MIKA – First on Flight 3)
Mika: W-What! Dan, are you crazy!
(RAVEN & BEAST BOY – Fourth on Flight 1)
Dan: Mika, if we get all of the tickets, we can GIVE these tickets to whoever we want to come with us. That way, we'll end up with no one we don't want on our flight.
Mika: …Hey! That's a great idea! Come on! Let's go see who's left and put some of them on our flight!
The two Street Fighters run over to the line and start scanning it.
(JOLENE & MUSH – Last on Flight 1)
Mika: Paula & Jewel are at the back of the line. Let's take them.
Dan: Sounds good. (whispers) Paula! Jewel!
The two girls turn and see Dan motioning for them to come over. They curiously leave the line and go over to them.
(TALON & MALON – First on Flight 2)
Dan & Mika motion for Shaggy & Velma to come over. The two detectives are confused, but go over anyway.
(JOKER & HARLEY – Second on Flight 2)
The two Street Fighters then motion for Garfield & Arlene to come over. The two small cats go over to the group of racers.
(TINY & DINGODILE – Third on Flight 2)
Arlene: So what did you guys want us over here for?
Dan: We got a better flight. It leaves later, but it's a direct flight, so it arrives earlier.
Jewel: Are you kidding us!
Mika: Not so loud, guys. We don't want the others to hear us.
Dan: We all want you guys to be on the flight with us. This time, we're all riding to the front of the pack.
(BRIDGET & DIZZY – Fourth on Flight 2)
(KID & ALLY – Last on Flight 2)
Velma: Why are you doing this for us?
Mika: We want you guys to have a taste of what it'll be like in the lead for once.
Garfield: What about Arlene and I? We've been pretty close to the front in the past two legs.
Dan: We like you guys. We figured that you'd like to be on our flight.
Arlene: Thanks, guys!
(PAULA & JEWEL – Second on Flight 3)
(SHAGGY & VELMA – Third on Flight 3)
(GARFIELD & ARLENE – Last on Flight 3)
Mr. Jowai: (voiceover) All teams are now flying towards the world of Suikoden 3. The first flight contains Kim & Ron, Geese & Krauser, Xiaoyu & Miharu, Raven & Beast Boy and Jolene & Mush, and will arrive at 3 PM. The second flight contains Talon & Malon, Joker & Harley, Tiny & Dingodile, Bridget & Dizzy and Kid & Ally, and will arrive at 4 PM. The third flight contains Dan & Mika, Paula & Jewel, Shaggy & Velma and Garfield & Arlene and will arrive at 2 PM, being the only flight with a direct flight.
(Flight 3 – Landing)
The first four teams rush out of the airport and run into the dirt parking lot.
Dan: You guys see the marked cars around here somewhere?
Garfield: Are those them over there?
Jewel: Hey! Yeah! Those are the race pylons in front of them!
Velma: Let's go! Hurry!
The four teams rush towards the line of cars and pick out four. Although the teams get to the cars at almost the same time, Dan & Mika are out first. Garfield & Arlene follow them as Shaggy & Velma and Paula & Jewel battle for third place.
Dan: Where's Brass Bastle, Mika?
Mika: (reading the map) Keep going on this road for about five miles, then hang a left.
(GARFIELD & ARLENE)
Arlene: Should I follow them, Garfield?
Garfield: Yes. They're going in the right direction.
(PAULA & JEWEL)
Jewel: (to the camera) Okay, we're all currently in the lead for once and Dan & Mika are leading the bunch of us to Brass Castle. We're all hoping that we have a good enough lead that no one else will catch up.
Paula: Hopefully, we don't run into any super-challenging tasks along the way.
Eventually, the four cars arrive at Brass Castle together. Because they can't take their cars in, they park outside, grab their backpacks and get out.
Velma: Okay. The clue said that the box was inside the Library.
Mika: That doesn't really help us any. (turns to Paula & Jewel) Do you guys know where it is?
Paula: Afraid not.
Garfield: But isn't this your home node?
Jewel: Suikoden 4 is. Technically, 3 takes place more than a hundred years AFTER 4 does.
Dan: Well, we may as well start searching. We'll split up and call out to everyone else once someone finds it.
Everyone agrees as they run into Brass Castle to start searching. They split up early in hopes of finding it faster.
Mika: (opens the door to a building and looks inside) Nope. Item Shop.
Dan: (goes over to someone) Do you know where the Library is?
Man: Yeah. It's on the other side of Brass Castle.
Dan: Oh! Thanks! (looks at everyone else) It's on the other side, guys!
Everyone quickly runs through Brass Castle and goes through a short hallway before ending up on the other side. Everyone looks around.
Arlene: Well, we're here. Now what?
Shaggy: We may as well, like, start looking.
As everyone splits up again, Dan & Mika wander into another building. They suddenly see that the walls are littered with bookshelves.
Dan: Is this the Library?
Mika: (looks into the other room and points) Yes! It is! I see the clue box!
The two Street Fighters run over to the box and take out the clue.
(DAN & MIKA – First at Clue 1)
Mika: (rip) Drive yourselves to Great Hollow.
Mr. Jowai: (voiceover) Teams must now drive themselves about twenty miles to Great Hollow, home of the Lizard Clan, where they'll find the next clue just inside.
Dan: Let's go, Mika!
The two run out of the Library and see everyone else still looking.
Mika: Hey, guys! It's over here!
Velma: Jinkies! They found it!
As Dan & Mika run off to get back to their car, the others run into the Library and grab the clue at almost the exact same time.
(GARFIELD & ARLENE – Second at Clue 1)
(PAULA & JEWEL – Third at Clue 1)
(SHAGGY & VELMA – Fourth at Clue 1)
Garfield: (rip) Drive yourselves…
Jewel: (rip) …To the Great Hollow…
Velma: (rip) …Where you'll find the next clue inside the cave.
Shaggy: Like, come on, Velma! Let's go!
The three teams rush out of Brass Castle just in time to see Dan & Mika driving off. Everyone quickly jumps into their respective cars and drive off after them. As they do…
(Flight 1 – Landing Early)
The next five teams rush out of the airport. Leading the pack are Kim & Ron and Raven & Beast Boy. Following them are Xiaoyu & Miharu, although Jolene & Mush and Geese & Krauser are close behind.
The teams quickly reach the parking lot and see the line of remaining marked cars.
Kim: Wait a second. (counts the cars) There are four cars missing!
Xiaoyu: (voiceover) Finding four cars missing told us that Dan & Mika had managed to land a better flight AS WELL as getting tickets for three other teams. This not only meant that we were behind a bit, but we also had some catching up to do.
In the shock of seeing the four missing cars, Geese & Krauser slip by, get into their car and drive off.
Raven: (flustered) Huh! Those guys are driving away!
Mush: After them!
The others quickly get into some other cars and drive off after the two Southtown villains.
(GEESE & KRAUSER)
Krauser: (looks back) Speed up, Geese! Tha others are beingk right behind us!
Geese: Just give me directions to Brass Castle, Krauser! I'll handle the rest!
(JOLENE & MUSH)
Jolene: Man! Just look at those two! They're speeding up!
Mush: If they keep speeding up like that, they'll cause an accident!
Jolene: Those two give me the creeps. I don't like them.
Mush: What did you expect, sis? They're villains.
Geese & Krauser, speeding the whole time, beat the others to Brass Castle by a mile. The two half-brothers park their car and jump out, running inside.
Geese: Okay. We just need to find the Library here.
Krauser: Eet shouldn't take too long, Geese. Come, ve start searching.
A little longer and the next four cars show up at Brass Castle. The teams jump out and race into Brass Castle, Raven & Beast Boy leading the charge.
(GREAT HOLLOW)
Dan & Mika's car pulls up to the entrance of the Great Hollow. The two Street Fighters get out of their car and run into the cave.
Mika: Where did the clue say the box was, Dan?
Dan: (reading the clue again) It says just inside the Hollow.
The two continue on, going through a short tunnel. After they do so, they enter a huge, open space with giant lizards walking around on two floors.
Dan: Wow! Lizards everywhere!
Mika: Shaggy's not gonna like this…
Dan: Look, Mika! The clue box!
The two rush over to the clue box and take out the first envelope.
(DAN & MIKA – First at Split Track)
Dan: (rip) Iiiiiit's a Split Track.
Before the race continues, we see Mr. Jowai walking along the bottom floor of the Great Hollow.
Mr. Jowai: A Split Track is a choice between two tasks, each with it's own pros and cons. In this Split Track, teams must choose between 'Lost' and 'Found'. In 'Lost', teams must search the Great Hollow for Shiba, a lizard warrior that took part in the great war in this node. Once they find Shiba, he'll give them their next clue. This task doesn't require physical strength, but finding a specific Lizardman in this huge area populated by over a hundred lizards could take a long time. In 'Found', teams must travel a short distance down this tunnel and find a marked area. Once there, they must dig through this area with either their hands or a shovel until they find their next clue. This task requires a good amount of physical labor, but teams with strong arms could finish faster.
Dan: I say we dig, Mika. It'll take us forever to find one lizard here.
Mika: You got that right, Dan. Let's go.
As Dan & Mika run down the marked tunnel, Paula & Jewel sprint into the cave. They quickly spot the clue box and grab an envelope.
(PAULA & JEWEL – Second at Split Track)
Jewel: (rip) A Split Track!
Paula: Let's dig. I've heard that most lizards look exactly alike.
Jewel: You're probably right n that one, Paula. Okay, let's go.
As the two girls run off after Dan & Mika, the next teams arrive at the clue box.
(SHAGGY & VELMA – Third at Split Track)
Shaggy: (rip) Like, another Split Track.
Velma: (scratches her head) Neither of us have very good strength. We'd better search for Shiba.
Shaggy: (looks around the cave) B-But this cave is p-populated by l-l-lizards!
Velma: (grabs Shaggy's arm and pulls him away) Let's just do this fast, then.
(GARFIELD & ARLENE – Fourth at Split Track)
Arlene: (rip) We'd better search for the lizard, Garfield. Neither of us can dig very fast.
Garfield: I'm with you, Arlene. Let's start looking.
(GEESE & KRAUSER)
Krauser scratches his head as he wanders Brass Castle.
Krauser: Geese? Geese, vhere are you beingk?
As Krauser passes by a building, Geese reaches out from the doorway, pulls him inside and shuts the door.
Geese: I've been waiting for you to show up, Krauser! Where have you been!
Krauser: Uh…Lookingk for you?
Geese: Whatever. (holds up and envelope) Look, I found the Library here and grabbed a clue.
Krauser: Open it then!
(GEESE & KRAUSER – Fifth at Clue 1)
Geese: (rip) Come on, Krauser. If we can sneak out of here without letting the other teams hear us, we'll have the edge.
It takes a bit of effort, but the two half-brothers manage to get through Brass Castle and arrive back at their cars without alerting the other teams. Geese & Krauser get back in their car and drive off.
A short while later and Kim & Ron stumble upon the Library. The two heroes rush in and grab the clue.
(KIM & RON – Sixth at Clue 1)
Kim: (rip) We're heading to Lizardland, Ron.
Ron: Fine by me, KP! Come on!
As Kim & Ron leave the Library, Jolene & Mush enter. They quickly see the clue box and run over.
(JOLENE & MUSH – Seventh at Clue 1)
Mush: (rip) Drive yourselves to the Great Hollow.
Jolene: Come on, Mush! Let's go!
The Mushroom citizens rush out of the Library and chase after Kim & Ron. Shortly after they do, the next two teams locate the Library and the clue.
(XIAOYU & MIHARU – Eighth at Clue 1)
(RAVEN & BEAST BOY – Ninth at Clue 1)
Xiaoyu: (rip) rive to the Great Hollow.
Raven: (rip) Let's go, Beast Boy. We're behind.
Beast Boy: No problem! Hopefully, we can catch up with the others!
(DAN & MIKA; PAULA & JEWEL)
The four racers are now digging within two separate areas at least six feet across and have been digging for a fair bit. Dan and Paula use shovels while Jewel and Mika dig with their hands, although all four racers are starting to slow down.
Dan: Man! I didn't realize the digging area would be so big. It's going to take us forever just to find the clue!
Mika: Would should have done the other task, Dan.
(SHAGGY & VELMA)
The two detectives run up to the higher level of the Great Hollow to see if they can find Shiba. Garfield & Arlene search the lower level.
Velma: (goes over to a lizard) You wouldn't happen to be Shiba, would you?
Lizard: Sorry. That's not me.
Shaggy: Like, this could take a while, Velm.
Velma: We need to keep trying, Shag! Keep looking!
(Flight 2 – Landing)
The first team out of the airport is Joker & Harley, but Bridget & Dizzy are out right after them. Kid & Ally come out next as Talon & Malon and Tiny & Dingodile come out behind. All of the teams run across the parking lot to find their cars, but are surprised when they only see five there.
Bridget: We're the last teams!
Malon: Looks like it's a race to the finish after all!
The teams jump into the remaining cars and drive off.
(TINY & DINGODILE)
The two giants are driving behind Joker & Harley, whom are going at a reasonable speed.
Tiny: Why Dingodile not try to pass jerks?
Dingodile: Ah keep tryin' ta do that, Tiny. Those two keep movin' and blockin' mah path!
Tiny: They play dirty!
Dingodile: (under his breath) All Ah can say is that Ah hope those two are eliminated this leg.
(GARFIELD & ARLENE)
Arlene: Excuse me? But are you Shiba?
Peggi: (the really loud lizard) SHIBA! NO, I'M NOT SHIBA!
The force from the lizard blacksmith's ear-shattering scream sends the two cats flying out of the room and back into the main area of the cave.
Garfield: Gah! Man! My ears are ringing!
Arlene: What was that, Garfield! I can't hear you over the ringing in my ears!
Garfield: What!
(SHAGGY & VELMA)
Shaggy: (timidly) Uh…You wouldn't happen to be Shiba, would you?
Shiba: That I am. (reaches into his pocket and pulls out a clue)
Shaggy: Like, thanks!
(SHAGGY & VELMA – First at Clue 2)
Shaggy: (rip) Like, drive yourselves to the Northern Cavern.
Mr. Jowai: (voiceover) Teams must now drive themselves twenty miles to the Northern Cavern, a cave five kilometers long. Teams will find the next clue outside.
Velma: Come on, Shaggy! (sees Garfield & Arlene on the level below) Garfield! Arlene! We got the clue!
Arlene: (looks up) What!
Velma: (louder) We got the clue!
Arlene: (looks at Garfield) I think they're trying to tell us they found the clue!
Garfield: What!
Arlene pulls Garfield up to the upper floor, think Shiba would be up there. The two cats run over to a lizard.
Shiba: Greetings. Are you looking for a clue?
Arlene: Yeah, it is a great day out, but we're wondering if you have a clue!
Shiba: …I see you've seen Peggi. (hands the two a clue)
(GARFIELD & ARLENE – Second at Clue 2)
Arlene: (rip) Let's go, Garfield!
Garfield: What!
Meanwhile, the two other lead teams are still digging in the dirt. None of the four racers have come upon any clues thus far.
Mika: Hey! I found it!
Oh, never mind.
(DAN & MIKA – Third at Clue 2)
Dan: Great, Mika! (throws his shovel down) What does it say?
Mika: (rip) We're going to Northern Cavern, Dan!
Dan: Let's go!
The two Street Fighters run off, leaving Paula & Jewel alone, digging for a clue by themselves. Soon after Dan & Mika run off, Paula notices the clue in the ground just after she digs there. She quickly pulls the clue from the ground.
Paula: Jewel! I got a clue!
(PAULA & JEWEL – Fourth at Clue 2)
Paula: (rip) Let's move, Jewel! We can catch up to the others!
The two girls run through and out of the Great Hollow just in time to see Dan & Mika driving off. Paula & Jewel jump into their car and drive off after them.
(BRASS CASTLE)
The final five teams arrive at Brass Castle. Joker & Harley are out of their car first, but Bridget & Dizzy fly past them and get into Brass Castle first. The others follow after them.
Dizzy: How will we know where the Library is, Bridget?
Bridget: I don't know, Dizzy, but the only thing we can do is start looking for it.
The five teams look around Brass Castle for the Library. Tiny & Dingodile keep their distance from Joker & Harley, not wanting to have anything to do with them.
Dingodile: Remembah ta keep yer eyes open, Tiny. If ya see the Library, don't announce it.
Tiny: Dingodile not want to alert Joker & Harley, right?
Dingodile: Right. We need those two as close to the back of the pack as we can get them.
(GREAT HOLLOW)
Geese & Krauser arrive at the entrance to the cave. The two half-brothers jump out of their car and charge headfirst into the tunnel. A short run later and they come upon the clue box.
(GEESE & KRAUSER – Fifth at Split Track)
Krauser: (rip) Eet ees another Spleet Track, Geese.
Geese: Let's look for the one lizard guy. I'm not going to stoop myself to digging in the ground like an animal.
Krauser: Da.
A short while after Geese & Krauser run off to start searching, the other teams arrive at the entrance to the cave. They get out and run through the tunnel to get to the clue box, and in the end, Raven & Beast Boy beat the others to the clue by at least ten yards.
(RAVEN & BEAST BOY – Sixth at Split Track)
Beast Boy: (rip) Let's dig, Raven. I can dig really fast.
Raven: (nods) I was actually going to suggest that myself. Let's go.
(KIM & RON – Seventh at Split Track)
Kim: (rip) Another Split Track.
Ron: You up for searching for this Shiba fellow, KP?
Kim: I'd say so. Let's start looking.
(XIAOYU & MIHARU – Eighth at Split Track)
(JOLENE & MUSH – Ninth at Split Track)
Xiaoyu: (rip) You think we should dig, Miharu?
Miharu: Sure. That sounds quicker.
Jolene: (rip) You want to dig for the clue as well, Mush?
Mush: (rubbing his chin) I dunno, sis. Six feet across. That's a pretty big area for people as small as we are.
Jolene: (nods) You may be right. Okay. We'll look for Shiba.
(SHAGGY & VELMA)
Shaggy: Like, are we getting close to the Northern Cavern, Velm?
Velma: (reading a map) Yep. We should be there in abut five minutes.
Shaggy: Is there like, anyone else behind us?
Velma: (looks back) Garfield & Arlene are right behind us and I think I can see a couple more cars in the distance. We're going to need to rush it if we're to finish first, Shag.
Shaggy & Velma eventually arrive at Northern Cavern, the other three lead teams hot of their tail. The two detectives jump out and run over to the clue box waiting outside the entrance.
(SHAGGY & VELMA – First at Boss Battle)
Shaggy: (rip) Like, a Boss Battle!
Before the race continues, we see Mr. Jowai walking along outside of the Northern Cavern.
Mr. Jowai: A Boss Battle is a task only one racer may perform, and the team may not proceed until the task is finished. In this Boss Battle, that racer must run through the Northern Cavern and find the clue box at the other end. They must then run all the way back through the cavern and meet up with his or her partner. Only then will they be able to open their clue.
Velma: I'll do this one, Shaggy. You probably be too scared to do it anyway.
Shaggy: (nods) Like, good luck, Velm!
As the brown-haired girl runs into the cavern, the nextteam shows up. The two cats jump out of their car and run over to the clue box.
(GARFIELD & ARLENE – Second at Boss Battle)
Garfield: (rip) Great. Another Boss Battle.
Arlene: I'll do it, Garfield. You'd never be able to run the whole way.
As Arlene runs into the cavern after Velma, the next teams arrive at almost the same time.
(DAN & MIKA – Third at Boss Battle)
(PAULA & JEWEL – Fourth at Boss Battle)
Dan: (rip) I'll do it, Mika. Wait here.
Mika: (nods) Okay, Dan! Hurry back!
Paula: (rip) "Who's up for a good jog?"
Jewel: Ooh! Me! Me! I'll do it!
Dan & Jewel run into the cavern and start the Boss Battle.
(TALON & MALON)
The father and daughter wander through Brass Castle, still on the lookout for the Library.
Talon: Well, Malon. I must say that I'm stumped. We've searched high and low for the Library.
Malon: Well, let's try this building over here, dad. We haven't looked in there yet.
The two farmers open up the door and look inside. They quickly see the mountains of books scattered across the shelves.
Malon: (whispering) We found it!
Talon: (spots the clue box in the next room) And there's the clue!
The two quickly run over to the clue box and take out an envelope.
(TALON & MALON – Tenth at Clue 1)
Malon: (rip) Come on, dad! Let's go!
When the two leave the Library, they see Tiny & Dingodile searching around.
Talon: (whispering) You think we should tell those two?
Malon: (nods) Joker & Harley are the ones we shouldn't trust. (to Tiny & Dingodile) Psst!
This gets the attention of the two giants. They look at the Library and see Talon & Malon. As Talon motions for them to come over, Malon holds a finger to her mouth, telling them to be quiet.
Once Tiny & Dingodile come over, Talon & Malon motion towards the Library. Dingodile looks inside, sees that it's the Library, looks at Talon & Malon and salutes with a smirk. Dingodile quietly goes inside and Tiny goes in after him (but not before silently giving Malon a bone-crushing hug).
(TINY & DINGODILE – Eleventh at Clue 1)
Dingodile: (rip) Drive ta the Great Hollow.
Tiny: (whispering) We go now, Dingodile!
The two giants leave the Library and run off, hoping that Joker & Harley don't see them.
Harley: Hey! That was those two big guys, Mistah J!
Unfortunately, they aren't successful.
Joker: That must have been the Library, Harley! Let's go check it out.
The two villains go inside the building and see that it's the Library. They go over to the clue box.
(JOKER & HARLEY – Twelfth at Clue 1)
Joker: (rip) Let's go, Harley.
Harley: Right behind ya, Mistah J!
As Joker & Harley leave the Library and run off, the final two teams finally find the Library and go in. They each grab a clue.
(BRIDGET & DIZZY – Thirteenth at Clue 1)
(KID & ALLY – Last at Clue 1)
Bridget: (rip) Great Hollow, Dizzy!
Dizzy: Let's go!
Kid: This is the last one, Ally! (rip) Come on!
Ally: We've got some catching up to do, bro! Let's do this!
(SPLIT TRACK)
Geese & Krauser continue to search through Great Hollow for Shiba, and have still haven't had much luck. The two half-brothers are now on the upper floor. They go over to the nearest lizard.
Krauser: Are you beingk Shiba?
Luckily (or unluckily), the lizard IS Shiba and the two receive a clue.
(GEESE & KRAUSER – Fifth at Clue 2)
Krauser: (rip) Ve go now, Geese!
Geese: Yeah. Let's go.
Meanwhile, Kim & Ron are searching on the lower floor and look up in time to see Geese & Krauser coming down.
Ron: KP! Look! The two bad guys have the clue!
Kim: Yeah! Let's go get it! We know who Shiba is now!
The two heroes run upstairs (followed directly by Jolene & Mush) and quickly run over to Shiba to grab the clue.
(KIM & RON – Sixth at Clue 2)
(JOLENE & MUSH – Seventh at Clue 2)
Kim: (rip) Let's get going, Ron! We need to catch Geese & Krauser!
Ron: You got it, KP!
Jolene: (rip) We need to stay with them, Mush! We don't know how far behind we are!
Mush: Right, sis! Back to the car!
(RAVEN & BEAST BOY; XIAOYU & MIHARU)
Beast Boy is using his hands to dig like a dog to search the area. The other racers are using shovels to dig. No one has come upon anything yet.
Raven: (sigh) This could take a fair bit, Beast Boy.
Beast Boy: Just keep digging, Rae! We'll find it soon!
Raven: (smashes her shovel over Beast Boy's head) Don't call me Rae!
Miharu: Any luck, Xiao?
Xiaoyu: Afraid not, Miharu. We could be here a while.
(BOSS BATTLE)
Velma wanders through the Northern Cavern, looking around for the clue box. The others are not too far behind her.
Velma: I MUST be getting to the end of the cavern soon! I've been running for a long time, now!
A few minutes later and Velma finally reaches the end of the cavern. She then sees the clue box sitting out in plain view. As quickly as she can, Velma takes an envelope out of the clue box and runs off, starting her trek back to the front of the cavern. On her way, she passes by Dan.
Velma: It's just up ahead a bit! You can't miss it!
Dan: Thanks, Velma!
Dan runs into the open space that is the end of the cavern. He goes over to the clue box and takes out an envelope. However, before he can start running off, Jewel and Arlene arrive at the clue box as well.
As Dan runs off, both Jewel and Arlene grab a clue and follow after him.
(SPLIT TRACK)
The remaining two teams from the second group are still digging. They've been digging for a long time now and are contemplating switching tasks.
Raven: This is taking forever. We'll be at this al day.
Beast Boy: Not so, Raven! (pulls an envelope from the ground) I found a clue!
(RAVEN & BEAST BOY – Eighth at Clue 2)
Beast Boy: (rip) Drive to Northern Cavern.
Raven: (throws her shovel down) Let's go, Beast Boy.
As the two Titans run off, Xiaoyu also manages to find a clue. As she and Miharu drop their shovels, Xiaoyu opens the envelope.
(XIAOYU & MIHARU – Ninth at Clue 2)
Xiaoyu: Let's go after them, Miharu!
Miharu: I'm with you, Xiao!
The two girls run out of the Great Hollow just in time to see the next car approaching.
Miharu: Crap! We took so long in there that the next wave is catching up!
Xiaoyu: We need to try even harder then, Miharu!
As Xiaoyu & Miharu drive off, Talon & Malon run through the tunnel to get to the clue box. The farmers quickly arrive at the clue and take out an envelope.
(TALON & MALON – Tenth at Split Track)
Talon: (rip) Malon, it's a Split Track.
Malon: Hmm…I say we dig. We can do that pretty fast.
Talon: That's right, dear. Let's go!
As the two run off, Tiny & Dingodile arrive. They grab the next clue.
(TINY & DINGODILE – Eleventh at Split Track)
Dingodile: (rip) Heh. This'll be a snap.
Tiny: (scratches his head) Why that, Dingodile?
Dingodile: Shiba and Ah are penpals. Ah know exactly what he looks like.
Tiny: Ooh! This easy, then!
Dingodile: Yeah! Let's go!
As the two giants start searching for Shiba, the last three teams arrive at almost the same time.
(BRIDGET & DIZZY – Twelfth at Split Track)
(JOKER & HARLEY – Thirteenth at Split Track)
(KID & ALLY – Last at Split Track)
Bridget: (rip) Let's dig, Dizzy. Finding one lizard may take too long for us.
Dizzy: (nods) You're right, Bridget.
Joker: (rip) I saw those two big guys start looking for this Shiba fellow. Let's follow them, Harley.
Harley: Ooh! I can tell by that look in your eyes that you've got something planned, Mistah J!
Ally: (rip) Let's dig, bro. I want to be as far away from Joker & Harley as possible.
Kid: You and me both, Ally. They give me the creeps.
(BOSS BATTLE)
The four racers standing outside of the cavern wait impatiently for their respective partner to come back out. Wanting to break the silence, Paula looks at the others.
Paula: It sure is good to be at the front of the pack. We haven't seen any other teams all day.
Shaggy: (nods) Like, we must have a pretty big lead on the next team if we haven't seen anyone.
Garfield: Hopefully we can keep this up.
Mika: Hey, I think I hear someone coming!
The four racers look into the cavern in anticipation, wondering whom will come out first.
Velma races out of the cavern and holds her clue into the air.
Shaggy: (jumps into the air) YES! (runs over to Velma)
Velma: (rip) (breathing heavily) Drive…Yourselves…To the next Pitstop…
Before the race continues, we see Mr. Jowai walking along what looks like a marketplace.
Mr. Jowai: Teams must now drive themselves forty miles to Budehuc Castle, where the young castle master, Thomas, set up the base for the 108 Stars of Destiny to meet. This simple, run-down castle is the Pitstop for this leg of the race. The last team to check in here may be eliminated.
Shaggy: Like, let's go, Velm! This is the Pitstop!
Velma: (waves to the others) See you guys at the Pitstop!
As Shaggy & Velma drive off, the other three racers continue watching the cavern.
Suddenly, Jewel and Dan emerge at almost the same time. They run over to their respective partner.
Jewel: (rip) Drive yourselves to the next Pitstop!
Dan: (rip) The last team to check in may be eliminated.
Mika: Well, we know it's not us! Come on, Dan!
The two teams drive off, leaving Garfield alone.
Garfield: (calling in) Arlene! Are you coming?
The orange cat doesn't get a response. Garfield raises an eyebrow.
Garfield: (louder) Arlene! Are you there!
Once again, Garfield doesn't hear back from his partner. He starts getting nervous.
Garfield: (pacing back and forth) Where's Arlene? She's not answering me. (starting to worry even more) What if she ran out of energy and collapsed. She may not be able to get out of there! (looks into the cavern) We'll probably get a penalty for this, but I gotta go in after her!
Suddenly, Arlene staggers out of the cavern, drained of almost all her energy. She is barely able to make it to Garfield before she collapses. Garfield quickly catches her before she hits the ground.
Garfield: Arlene! Are you alright!
Arlene: So…Exhausted…
Garfield: I tried calling out to you, Arlene! Why weren't you answering!
Arlene: I tried…Calling back…Didn't have…The energy…To shout… (hands the clue to Garfield) Here…Can't…Read it…
Garfield: (rips open the envelope while still holding Arlene) We're almost done, Arlene. We're going to the Pitstop. Here. You lay down in the backseat. I'll drive.
Arlene: Thank you…Garfield…
Garfield: (voiceover) Arlene exhausted herself on that Boss Battle, so I just didn't have the heart to make her drive us to the Pitstop. Seeing her do that really makes me re-think my opinion of her. I'm starting to get some new feelings for her, and I really don't know how to react. Maybe during the next couple legs, I'll figure it out.
(SPLIT TRACK)
Dingodile: Look, Tiny! There's Shiba!
Tiny: Oh, goody! We get clue now!
The two giants run over to Shiba to get their clue.
Dingodile: Heya, Shiba! You got a clue fer us?
Shiba: Sure do, Dingodile! Here you go!
Shiba holds out the clue for Dingodile to take, but before the hybrid can take it, something shoots between the two in a blur of purple, swiping that clue from Shiba at the same time.
Dingodile: What the hey!
Tiny: Dingodile! Look!
Dingodile looks down and sees Joker & Harley running out of the cave, laughing like maniacs. Joker holds his newly-acquired clue in his hand.
(JOKER & HARLEY – Tenth at Clue 2)
Dingodile: (seething) Why those little!
Shiba: Here, take another one. (hands Dingodile another clue)
(TINY & DINGODILE – Eleventh at Clue 2)
Dingodile: (rip) Let's go catch up with those two, Tiny!
Tiny: (nods) Yes, Dingodile! We catch up!
Meanwhile, the other three teams are still digging in the ground. Although everyone's been digging a fair bit, Talon & Malon have dug the most.
Malon: (wipes sweat from her forehead) This could take a fair bit, dad. You wanna change tasks?
Talon: We're almost done, though! We've almost dug through our whole area!
Malon: (shrugs) Okay. If you say so.
(BOSS BATTLE)
The next team shows up at the Boss Battle. The two jump out of their car and run over to the clue box.
(GEESE & KRAUSER – Fifth at Boss Battle)
Geese: (rip) "Who's up for a good jog?"
Krauser: I haff much stamina, Geese! I do this queeck!
The purple-haired noble runs headfirst into the cavern as the next two teams show up.
(KIM & RON – Sixth at Boss Battle)
(JOLENE & MUSH – Seventh at Boss Battle)
Kim: (rip) It's a Boss Battle. I'll do this one, Ron.
Ron: No problem, KP!
Jolene: (rip) A Boss Battle.
Mush: I'll do it, sis.
Jolene: Okay.
(DAN & MIKA)
Mika: We should be coming up to the Pitstop soon, Dan!
Dan: Good! We can finish this leg in a good position!
(PAULA & JEWEL)
Jewel: The Pitstop should be around here somewhere…
Paula: I'm not worried. I'll take whatever slot Mr. Jowai gives us.
(SHAGGY & VELMA)
Shaggy: Like, where's Budehuc, Velma?
Velma: (reading a map) Give it a little longer and we'll be there.
(GARFIELD & ARLENE)
Arlene: (breathing slightly heavily) We should be…Arriving soon…Garfield.
Garfield: I just want to get this leg over with so you can get some rest for the next one.
(PITSTOP)
Mr. Jowai stands on the mat just inside Budehuc. Beside him, standing up to Mr. Jowai's chest, is Thomas, the young castle master. Mr. Jowai points in the direction of where the teams will come from as he explains it to Thomas. Suddenly, we hear a car pulling up, and doors shutting. We can't see who he team is because a wall is blocking the way.
Shaggy & Velma run into view and climb a couple of steps before checking into the Pitstop.
Thomas: Welcome to Budehuc Castle!
Shaggy: Like, thanks.
Mr. Jowai: Shaggy & Velma………You are team number one!
(SHAGGY & VELMA – First Place)
Velma: YES! We're in the lead!
Shaggy: (picks up Velma in a spinning hug) Like, this is great! Dan & Mika's strategy worked!
(SPLIT TRACK)
Talon: Hey! The clue! I found the clue, Malon! (takes the envelope from the ground)
Malon: Great, dad!
(TALON & MALON – Twelfth at Clue 2)
Talon: (rip) Drive to Northern Cavern.
Malon: Let's go, dad!
The farmers run off, leaving the last team behind, still digging.
Kid: ………Well, this stinks.
(BOSS BATTLE)
Krauser quickly arrives at the end of the tunnel and at the clue box. He takes out a clue, turns around…
…And gets plowed over by Kim. As he lays on the ground, Mush tramples over his stomach.
Krauser: …Oy… (gets up and run off, still ahead of Kim and Mush)
Meanwhile, outside, the next two teams have showed up at the cavern. The two teams jump out of their cars and run over to the clue box.
(RAVEN & BEAST BOY – Eighth at Boss Battle)
(XIAOYU & MIHARU – Ninth at Boss Battle)
Raven: (rip) You're faster than I am, Beast Boy. You might be able to do this quicker.
Beast Boy: (nods) Got it, Rae!
Raven (throws her shoe at Beast Boy as he runs into the cavern) Don't call me Rae!
Xiaoyu: (rip) You want me to do this, Miharu?
Miharu: You're faster than I am. It's probably better if you do.
Xiaoyu: Okay! Here I go!
(PITSTOP)
Mika: I can see the Pitstop, Dan!
Dan: Let's do this!
The two Street Fighters charge up the steps leading into the castle and jump onto the mat.
Mr. Jowai: Dan & Mika………You're team number two!
(DAN & MIKA – Second Place)
Dan: Yes! That's a LOT better than the last two legs!
Mika: It looks like we couldn't beat Shaggy & Velma, though.
Dan: That's fine by me, Mika!
Not long after, Paula & Jewel are seen running towards the Pitstop.
Jewel: How do you think we did, Paula?
Paula: I think we both know that we're in the top four teams, so I'll take whatever is given to us.
Jewel: Me too!
The two girls check into the Pitstop to await the verdict.
Mr. Jowai: Paula & Jewel………You are team number three!
(PAULA & JEWEL – Third Place)
Jewel: (shoots her arms into the air) We're finally out of the bottom of the pile!
Paula: Yes! Now we have a good position for the next leg!
(SPLIT TRACK)
The last two teams are still digging in the ground, searching for the respective clues.
Suddenly, Dizzy finds one. She pulls the envelope from the ground and drops her shovel.
Dizzy: Bridget! I found the clue!
Bridget: (gets up) Open it!
(BRIDGET & DIZZY – Thirteenth at Clue 2)
Dizzy: (rip) We're going to the Northern Cavern!
Bridget: Come on!
The two young racers run off, leaving Kid & Ally alone.
Ally: Drat! We're last!
Kid: Not for long, Ally! (pulls the last clue from the ground) I found the clue!
Ally: You did! That's great!
(KID & ALLY – Last at Clue 2)
Kid: (rip) We've got some catching up to do, sis!
Ally: (nods) Maybe we can catch up!
(BOSS BATTLE)
Krauser emerges from the mouth of the cave only moments before Kim and Mush do. He takes the time to raise his hands in victory, and this allows Kim and Mush to go over to their partners.
Geese: Come here, moron!
Krauser snaps out of his daze and runs over to Geese.
Kim: (rip) We're going to the Pitstop, Ron!
Ron: Boo-Yah!
Mush: (rip) The Pitstop!
Jolene: Let's get back in the car! We need to hurry!
Geese: (eyes narrowed) Thanks to your little victory pose, we fell behind.
Krauser: I forgot ve vere runningk race! (rip) Ve go to Pitstop, Geese!
As the three cars drive off, the next two arrive. The teams jump out and run over to the clue box.
(JOKER & HARLEY – Tenth at Boss Battle)
(TINY & DINGODILE – Eleventh at Boss Battle)
Joker: (rip) Ah! A running challenge!
Harley: You do it, Mistah J! You have SO much stamina from running from Batman!
Joker: …I don't know how I should feel about that. (runs into the cavern)
Dingodile: (rip) A runnin' task! Great. We're both as slow as oxen. But Ah guess that AH'M the faster of us.
Tiny: Good luck, Dingodile!
(PITSTOP)
Garfield, holding a tired Arlene's hand to help her along, steps onto the mat with her.
Mr. Jowai: Garfield & Arlene………You are team number four!
(GARFIELD & ARLENE – Fourth Place)
Garfield: (nods) Thanks. Now I need to get Arlene to lay down for a few hours.
Arlene: (nods) Thanks…Garfield…
(BOSS BATTLE)
The racers waiting see Talon & Malon show up. The two farmers jump out of their car and grab a clue.
(TALON & MALON – Twelfth at Boss Battle)
Malon: (rip) A Boss Battle. I may as well do it, dad. I'm faster of the two of us.
Talon: And we need to catch up. Good idea, darling. Good luck.
As Malon vanishes into the cavern, Beast Boy and Xiaoyu come out. They run over to their respective partner and open the clues.
Beast Boy: (rip) We're going to the Pitstop! Come on, Raven!
Raven: Got it. Let's go.
Xiaoyu: (rip) (gasp) The Pitstop!
Miharu: Come on, Xiao! Maybe we can beat some of the others there!
(INSIDE)
Dingodile, being a huge and slower racer, is starting to fall behind Joker, whom is racing ahead.
Dingodile: Ah knew it. Ah'm so slow that the racers behind us may catch up. This may spell elimination fer Tiny and Ah.
Meanwhile, Joker has reach the other end of the cavern. He grabs a clue from the clue box, turns around and runs off.
Joker: Heh heh. It's too bad I can't take TWO clues. That would surely mean Harley and I could remain in the race.
(KIM & RON)
Ron: Man. I don't know where we're going here, KP. We're gonna have to ask someone for directions.
Kim: Shouldn't be a problem, Ron. There's someone up there.
The two pull over to the side of the road and Ron gets out with the map. He goes over to the winged man with the scythe and asks for directions.
It takes about three minutes, but Ron finally gets all the info from the man. He runs back to the car and gets in.
Ron: He just says that we're going in the right direction and we'll get there in about five minutes.
Kim: It took you that long just to find that out?
Ron: (scratches his head) Well, he kept talking about the Grim Reaper and chuckling. It took me a while to get it out of him.
(PITSTOP)
Geese & Krauser run up the steps of Budehuc and step onto the mat.
Mr. Jowai: Geese & Krauser………You're team number five!
(GEESE & KRAUSER – Fifth Place)
Krauser: See, Geese? Ve are feefth! Dat's the best ve have ever gotten so far!
Geese: (nods) Not bad. I guess that's the best position out of our group of racers.
(BOSS BATTLE)
Dingodile arrives at the other end of the clue box almost five minutes after Joker did. He quickly grabs a clue and runs off, hoping to make up for lost time.
A couple minutes after Dingodile runs off, Malon, starting to catch up, also arrives at the clue box. She quickly grabs the clue and runs off after Dingodile.
Outside, the last two teams have finally arrived at the Boss Battle. They jump out and run over to grab the clue.
(BRIDGET & DIZZY – Thirteenth at Boss Battle)
(KID & ALLY – Last at Boss Battle)
Bridget: (rip) It's a Boss Battle.
Dizzy: You do it, Bridget. You're faster than I am.
Bridget: Okay. I'll be out as fast as I can.
Ally: (rip) Looks like one of us has to run to the other end of the cavern.
Kid: That would be me, Ally. I'll be right back.
(PITSTOP)
Because of Kim & Ron stopping to ask for directions, Jolene & Mush arrive at the Pitstop first. The two mushrooms run up to the mat and jump on.
Mr. Jowai: Jolene & Mush………You are team number six!
(JOLENE & MUSH – Sixth Place)
Jolene: (exhales in relief) That's pretty good.
Mush: We'll try to do better in the next leg, sis.
(NEARBY)
Kim: Something tells me that us stopping for directions allowed a team to get ahead of us.
Ron: No worries, KP. We'd still be in the race either way.
The two heroes run into Budehuc and check into the Pitstop.
Mr. Jowai: Kim & Ron………You are team number seven!
(KIM & RON – Seventh Place)
Ron: Boo-Yah! We're still in!
Kim: (nods) Hopefully, we'll be able to catch up.
(BOSS BATTLE)
Joker emerges from the cavern with the clue (much to the dismay of the other waiting racers) and runs over to Harley.
Joker: (rip) Harley, we're on the way to the Pitstop!
Harley: Right, Mistah J! Let's go!
The waiting racers are half-expecting Dingodile to come out next, but are surprised when Malon comes out a few minutes later. Talon quickly goes over to her.
Malon: (rip) Dad, we need to get going!
Talon: Right, sweetie! Come on!
A little bit after Talon & Malon drive off, Dingodile stumbles out of the cavern, practically out of breath. Too tired to read the clue, the hybrid hands it to Tiny.
Tiny: (rip) We go to Pitstop, Dingodile! We still in race!
Dingodile: (nods) (pants) Ah'll…Drive…
Meanwhile, Bridget and Kid have managed to reach the clue at the end of the tunnel. They each grab it and run off to meet up with their respective partner.
(PITSTOP)
Beast Boy: There's the Pitstop, Raven! Let's check in!
Raven: I know we're ahead of Xiaoyu & Miharu, so at least we're still in the race.
The two mismatched Titans check into the Pitstop and look at Mr. Jowai to await the verdict.
Mr. Jowai: Raven & Beast Boy………You're team number eight!
(RAVEN & BEAST BOY – Eighth Place)
Beast Boy: Well, that wasn't so bad, now was it?
Raven: I suppose not. I must admit that this race is beginning to become mildly amusing.
(NEARBY)
Miharu: Well, we couldn't beat Raven & Beast Boy.
Xiaoyu: Don't worry, Miharu! We're still in!
The girls check into the Pitstop.
Mr. Jowai: Xiaoyu & Miharu………You are team number nine!
(XIAOYU & MIHARU – Ninth Place)
Xiaoyu: (Whew!) I'm glad that's over.
Miharu: Hopefully, we can get back into the top slots in the next leg.
(BOSS BATTLE)
Dizzy and Ally, knowing full well that they're the last two teams, wait impatiently for their respective partner to come out with the clue.
Suddenly, both Bridget and Kid emerge at the same time. Their partners, not wanting to waste any time, quickly pick up their backpacks as the others open their clue.
Bridget: (rip) Drive yourselves to the next Pitstop.
Kid: (rip) Warning: The last team to check in will be eliminated.
Dizzy: Let's move, Bridget!
(TALON & MALON)
Talon: It's no use, Malon. Joker & Harley are long gone. We'll never catch up before reaching the Pitstop.
Malon: (pouts) Man! Why THEM? I don't like those two.
Talon: Neither do I, dear. Unfortunately, we have no say in who gets eliminated.
Malon: (sighs) You're right, dad.
(PITSTOP)
Joker & Harley run up the steps leading to the Pitstop and check in, knowing that they're still in the race.
Mr. Jowai: Joker & Harley………You're team number ten!
(JOKER & HARLEY – Tenth Place)
Harley: Man. I don't get it. We just can't seem to get into the single-digit positions.
Joker: Don't worry, Harley. We'll do well in the next leg.
(KID & ALLY)
Ally: (reading a map) Budehuc's about twenty minutes away, bro.
Kid: (to the camera) Right now, it's a race to stay in between us and Bridget & Dizzy. Hopefully, we can beat them to the Pitstop and stay in.
Ally: Yeah. It really stinks that it has to be one of us getting eliminated, though. I really like Bridget & Dizzy.
Kid: You and me both, Ally.
(TINY & DINGODILE)
Tiny: We fall behind farmers, Dingodile. Does Dingodile think he can catch up?
Dingodile: Ah doubt it, Tiny. Malon finished a good while ahead of me.
Tiny: (ears droop) Are we eliminated?
Dingodile: No. Not if we can stay ahead of the teams behind us.
(PITSTOP)
The portly farmer and his strong-willed daughter run into Budehuc. They charge headfirst up the steps and check into the Pitstop.
Mr. Jowai: Talon & Malon………You're team number eleven!
(TALON & MALON – Eleventh Place)
Talon: (wipes his forehead) That sure was hard work.
Malon: Well, we're still in the race, dad. Hopefully, we'll catch up.
(BRIDGET & DIZZY)
Bridget: For much longer until we get to Budehuc, Dizzy?
Dizzy: (reading a map) Looks like we'll be there in about ten minutes.
Bridget: Hopefully, we'll stay in the race and recover.
(PITSTOP)
Tiny & Dingodile finally arrive at the Pitstop. The two giants dart up the steps and check in.
Mr. Jowai: (looks up at the two) Tiny & Dingodile………You're team number twelve!
(TINY & DINGODILE – Twelfth Place)
Tiny: YAY! (jumps up and down, making the ground shake) We still in race!
Dingodile: We didn't do our best here. We need to regroup for the next leg.
Mr. Jowai and Thomas wait patiently for the final safe team to arrive. Suddenly, the hear footsteps approaching. The camera once again goes to the shot with the wall in the way, preventing us from seeing whom the team is.
Kid & Ally run into view and check into the Pitstop, looking at Mr. Jowai hopefully.
Mr. Jowai: Kid & Ally………You are team number thirteen!
(KID & ALLY – Thirteenth Place)
Kid, Ally: YES! (hug each other fiercely, sobbing happily)
Mr. Jowai: You guys that relieved?
Ally: (sniffs and breaks the hug she has with Kid) We've been doing terrible this whole leg! And now we find out that we're still in the race, it's just too much to handle at once!
Kid: (hugs Ally again) Don't worry, sis! We'll catch up!
Sad music plays as Bridget & Dizzy run up the steps leading to the Pitstop and check in.
Mr. Jowai: Bridget & Dizzy………(sigh) You're the last team to arrive.
Bridget, Dizzy: (both nod in understanding)
Mr. Jowai: I'm sorry to tell you that you've both been eliminated from the race.
(BRIDGET & DIZZY – ELIMINATED)
We see Bridget & Dizzy talking to the camera later that night.
Bridget: I was really expecting us to fall sooner or later. Dizzy and I are probably one of the least-fit teams on the race. In fact, I'm actually surprised that we made it past the first leg. I wish everyone else luck in the race, because running this long was really hard, and I want to congratulate the people who make it to the end, because they'll deserve it.
Dizzy: I'm upset with getting eliminated so early, but on the other hand, I'm really glad we lasted as long as we did, because we went to places I never imagined ever going to. I'm glad that Bridget and I did this, because it was a whole lot of fun while it lasted.
Bridget: I couldn't imagine doing this with anyone other than Dizzy. She was the perfect partner for me, and we got along really well during the race. If anyone else could have the kind of partner I have with Dizzy, you be the luckiest person in the world. I'll always be faithful to her, and I'll do anything to make sure she's happy. I just hope that she was satisfied with our performance.
Dizzy: I couldn't ask for a better partner. I never imagined falling in love, and I ABSOLUTLEY never imagine that it would be with Bridget, but here I am, his girlfriend, and loving it. Bridget is always so kind to me. He's the nicest anyone's ever been to me in my life. I'm glad I'm his girlfriend, and I wouldn't change anything for the world.
We see a slow-motion shot of Bridget & Dizzy turning their backs to the camera and leaving the Pitstop. Bridget wraps an arm around Dizzy's shoulders as they walk away.
Mr. Jowai: (voiceover) On the next leg of the Amazing Race: VG Style…
We see Joker & Harley waving two tickets in the faces of some of the other racers.
Mr. Jowai: (voiceover) Some teams reveal their dislike for Joker & Harley.
Dingodile: (stalking away) Ah hate those two SO much…
We see Kim & Ron walking across a street when a car zooms around a corner.
Mr. Jowai: And Kim & Ron have an accident.
Ron: Kim! LOOK OUT!
A slow-motion shot of Kim turning her head towards the oncoming car.
