Leg Four

111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111

Before the leg starts, we see Mr. Jowai walking along a small marketplace in a rundown castle.

Mr. Jowai: The world of Suikoden 3. A land where almost 108 different people united to defeat a threat that could destroy the world. Most of the stars went off doing their own thing afterwards, but as you may know, Samus and Reed ended up on the first season of our show. And at the edge of the Grasslands: Budehuc Castle. This broken, rundown castle, now run by a young man no older than fifteen, was the third Pitstop in a race around the VG Universe.

We see clips of the thirteen remaining teams checking into the Pitstop, starting with Shaggy & Velma. We then see Shaggy and Garfield stuffing their faces (as usual).

Mr. Jowai: After checking in, team received a mandatory rest period. This allowed them to eat…

We see Ron sitting in a chair, asleep.

Mr. Jowai: …Sleep…

We see Ally standing on the ship with Paula & Jewel, looking out over the lake.

Mr. Jowai: …And mingle with the other teams. Will Dan & Mika's alliance stay in the first four spots and continue to stay ahead? And will Kid & Ally recover from their bad luck the last leg and stay in the race? Shaggy & Velma, whom were the first team to arrive, will be the first to depart, twelve hours later.

(PITSTOP)

For once, it's bright and early out as Shaggy & Velma wait for the appropriate time to open their clue. Once it arrives, Shaggy, rips open the first clue.

(SHAGGY & VELMA – First to Depart)

Shaggy: (rip) Like, fly to the world of Perfect Dark.

Mr. Jowai: (voiceover) Teams must now fly to the world of Perfect Dark, home of special agent Joanna Dark. Once they arrive, they must search for this laboratory, where they'll find the next clue.

Velma: Let's move, Shaggy!

Shaggy: Like, you got it, Velma!

The two detectives make a quick run through Budehuc, to the line of marked cars parked outside. Quickly picking one, the two jump in and drive off.

Shaggy: (driving) Okay, Velm. You see where the airport is?

Velma: (looking at the map) Yeah. We could arrive at the airport in twenty minutes.

Shaggy: Hopefully, there's like, only enough tickets for the eight of us.

Velma: Yeah.

(PITSTOP)

(DAN & MIKA – Second to Depart)

Dan: (rip) Fly to the world of Perfect Dark.

Mika: Let's go, Dan. Shaggy & Velma shouldn't bee too far ahead of us.

The two Street Fighters walk over to their marked car, get in and drive off. Not long after, the next team leaves.

(PAULA & JEWEL – Third to Depart)

Jewel: (rip) Fly to the world of Perfect Dark.

Paula: We've got a lead, Jewel. We don't wanna lose it.

Jewel: Right you are, Paula.

Jewel: (voiceover) Finally getting out of the bottom of the pile of teams felt so great for me. Now that Paula and I were in the first four teams, we didn't want to lose our momentum.

The two girls jump into a car and drive off.

(GARFIELD & ARLENE – Fourth to Depart)

Garfield: You okay now, Arlene?

Arlene: I sure hope so. (rip) Okay, Garfield! Let's go!

Garfield: Right.

Garfield: (voiceover) Never in my wildest dreams would I have thought that I had more stamina than Arlene. Maybe it's the fact that I run from dogs all the time. Well, all I can do is help her through this.

The two dating cats walk over to the line of cars, pick one and drive off in it.

(AIRPORT)

Shaggy & Velma pull up to the airport. Hey park their car, jump out of it, grab their backpacks and charge into the airport. Once inside, they look around for the airline with the flag on it, quickly spot it and run over to it.

Velma: We'd like two tickets to the world of Perfect Dark, please.

Ticket agent: Sure thing. (hands the two some tickets) The flight leaves in four hours.

Velma: Thank you.

Shaggy: (sigh) Well, there like, goes our lead.

(SHAGGY & VELMA – First on Flight 1)

(PITSTOP)

(GEESE & KRAUSER – Fifth to Depart)

Krauser: Are you ready for anather fun-feeled day off racingk, Geese?

Geese: Yeah, whatever. (rip) Move it, Krauser!

Krauser: Da!

(AIRPORT)

Dan & Mika run through the doors to the airport and see Shaggy & Velma sitting down.

Mika: Where's the airline, guys?

Velma: (points to the counter) Over there.

The two Street Fighters go over to the counter.

Dan: We need two tickets for the world of Perfect Dark.

Ticket agent: (hands over some tickets) The flight leaves in four hours.

Mika: (nods) Thanks.

(DAN & MIKA – Second on Flight 1)

As Dan & Mika leave the counter, the next two teams arrive. They run over to the counter to get some tickets.

Paula: Do you have any room on your flight to the world of Perfect Dark for all of us?

Ticket agent: As a matter of fact, I do. (hands over four tickets) The flight leaves in four hours.

Arlene: Thank you very much!

(PAULA & JEWEL – Third on Flight 1)

(GARFIELD & ARLENE – Fourth on Flight 1)

(PITSTOP)

(JOLENE & MUSH – Sixth to Depart)

Jolene: (rip) Come on, Mush! If we hurry, maybe we'll be able to beat Geese & Krauser to the airport!

Mush: There's always the hope, sis.

The two get in one of the remaining cars and drive off in it.

Jolene: (voiceover) I'm surprised that Mush and I are still in the race. We're as big as Diddy & Dixie and don't have very good stamina. In fact, some of the more-fit teams have already been eliminated. I guess the only thing to do is keep surprising ourselves as the race goes on.

(KIM & RON – Seventh to Depart)

Kim: (rip) The world of Perfect Dark.

Ron: Boo-yah! We've been wanting to go there, haven't we?

Kim: That we have, Ron. Let's go.

The two teen heroes jump into one of the cars and drive off. A few minutes pass before the next team leaves.

(RAVEN & BEAST BOY – Eighth to Depart)

Beast Boy: (rip) Looks like we're heading to the world of Perfect Dark.

Raven: (sigh) Like that helps. I have no idea where we've been going these past three legs.

Beast Boy: That's because you don't play video games.

Raven: And I'm not starting anytime soon, thank you very much.

As the two Titans leave, the next team gets ready to leave.

(XIAOYU & MIHARU – Ninth to Depart)

Miharu: (rip) Hey! We're heading to the world of Perfect Dark!

Xiaoyu: Maybe Joanna will be at the Pitstop to greet us! That would be SO cool!

Miharu: Yeah! C'mon, let's go!

(AIRPORT)

Krauser: Ve are needingk two teeckets to da vorld of Perfect Dark.

Ticket agent: Not a problem. (hands the two some tickets)

Geese: (nods) I appreciate it.

(GEESE & KRAUSER – Fifth on Flight 1)

Several minutes after the two sit down with the others, the next two teams fly through the doors to the airport. They see the counter and go over to it to order some tickets.

Kim: Would you happen to have any more tickets for us on the flight heading to Perfect Dark, would you?

Jolene: For us, too!

Ticket agent: You're very lucky. I have four tickets left on the earliest flight.

Ron: Great! We'll take'em!

(KIM & RON – Sixth on Flight 1)

(JOLENE & MUSH – Last on Flight 1)

Mush: (walks over to the others) These were the last tickets on the flight!

Arlene: Great! That means that we won't have Joker & Harley with us.

Geese: I am inclined to agree with you there. Those hecklers annoy me to no end.

(PITSTOP)

(JOKER & HARLEY – Tenth to Depart)

Joker: (rip) Okay, Harley! Let's go!

Harley: You ready to pull ahead, Mistah J?

Joker: My plans ARE foolproof, you know!

Harley: Except for when that flyin' rodent, Batman, foils them. But he ain't anywhere near here!

Joker: (muttering) You're not helping, Harley.

(RAVEN & BEAST BOY)

Raven: When'll we be getting to the airport, Beast Boy?

Beast Boy: About five minutes. We're almost there.

Raven: That's good to know. Hopefully, we'll get on a good flight.

(PITSTOP)

(TALON & MALON – Eleventh to Depart)

Talon: (rip) Well, Malon. I reckon we got us some catching up to do.

Malon: Yeah. Hopefully, we'll catch up and get closer to the front of the pack again.

The two farmers run over to the three remaining cars, jump into one of them and drive off in it.

(TINY & DINGODILE – Twelfth to Depart)

Dingodile: Ya ready to run yer heart out, Tiny? We're gunna need to ta catch up.

Tiny: Tiny ready, Dingodile! (rip) We go, now! We catch up at place where planes fly!

Dingodile: …'Airport'?

Tiny: …Ah! Yes! That it!

The two giants run towards the remaining cars, climb in and drive off.

(AIRPORT)

Raven & Beast Boy run into the airport. Knowing that the two schoolgirls are hot on their tails, they dash over to the counter.

Beast Boy: We need two tickets on the earliest flight to Perfect Dark!

Ticket agent: I'm sorry, but the earliest flight sold out not that long ago. The next flight is fifteen minutes later.

Raven: (sigh) We'll take it, thanks.

(RAVEN & BEAST BOY – First on Flight 2)

As the two Titans leave the ticket counter to go sit down, Xiaoyu & Miharu show up. They race over to the counter with hopes of getting on a good flight.

Xiaoyu: Do you have any more tickets for flights heading to Perfect Dark handy?

Ticket agent: Yes, I do. (hands them their tickets) Enjoy your flight.

(XIAOYU & MIHARU – Second on Flight 2)

(PITSTOP)

(KID & ALLY – Last to Depart)

Kid: (rip) Okay, Ally. We're in last place, now. You still think we can pull ahead?

Ally: Definitely. Let's do this, bro!

The two boxing siblings jump into the final car and drive off in it, hoping to catch up.

(AIRPORT)

Dan: (looks just in time to see Joker & Harley come in) There's the hecklers. Keep your heads down.

Joker & Harley run over to the counter to put their plan into action.

Harley: Your earliest flight to Perfect Dark is full, am I right?

Ticket agent: It is. I had no idea that so many people actually wanted to go there in one night.

Joker: Well, we need to get on that earliest flight.

Ticket agent: I'm sorry, but the earliest flight is sold out.

Joker: Then could you at least put us on the waiting list?

Ticket agent: That I can do.

Harley: Thanks a bunch!

Joker: (voiceover) Being patient and polite have never really been my strong points, but I have to do that all of the time when getting tickets on the race. I never thought I'd actually be asking for tickets and purchasing them without holding the joint up…

Outside, Talon & Malon have shown up. They jump out of their car and grab their gear. As they do, they see another car coming into the parking lot.

Malon: There's Tiny & Dingodile, dad! We need to move!

Talon: And that we will, Malon! Come on!

The two farmers run into the airport and quickly spot the counter for ordering tickets.

Malon: We need to get to the world of Perfect Dark, if at all possible.

Ticket agent: Here you go. (hands the two a pair of tickets)

Talon: Thank you kindly.

(TALON & MALON – Third on Flight 2)

As Talon & Malon walk away from the counter, Tiny & Dingodile arrive.

Geese: (mutters) Great. It's the bumblers.

Tiny: (ears perk up) (whispers) Dingodile, Tiny think he hear blonde man in strange pants call us 'bumblers'.

Dingodile: Ignore 'im, Tiny.

Kim: (voiceover) When I overheard Geese call Tiny & Dingodile 'bumblers', I got mad. Sure, those guys are big, but that doesn't mean that they're dumb! They've run a good race so far, and Geese knows that!

Dingodile: We need ta get ta Perfect Dark. Ya have any more tickets?

Ticket agent: I sure do. (hands the two some tickets)

Tiny: Thank you very much!

(TINY & DINGODILE – Fourth on Flight 2)

Ticket agent: (motioning for Joker & Harley to come over) Could you two come over here for a second?

The two criminals go over to the counter to await the verdict.

Ticket agent: You're in luck. Two of the people on this list cancelled their tickets, so we have a couple of slots available on the earlier flight.

Joker: (smirks evilly) Book'em!

(JOKER & HARLEY – Last on Flight 1 (for real this time))

Harley: This is great, Mistah J! We're on the earlier flight!

Joker: You got that right, Harley. Let's have some fun.

Harley: (goes over to Tiny & Dingodile and waves the tickets in front of their faces) Look at us, losers! We got on the better fight!

Dingodile: (trying his best to ignore her) It's only…Fifteen minutes…

Joker: But it's enough. Now we'll be up at the front of the pack!

Harley: (goes over to the others sitting down) Nah, nah, nah! (waves the tickets in front of the others on the second flight) We're on the better flight and you're not!

Dingodile: (stalking away) (through his teeth) Ah hate those two SO much…

Everyone is paying so much attention to Joker & Harley's taunting that they don't notice Kid & Ally come through the doors.

Ally: (looks to the side) Was that Dingodile that just stormed off?

Kid: I think it was, sis. I wonder what's bothering him…

Ally: Well, let's get some tickets. (goes over to the counter) Do you have any more tickets hanging around for the flight to Perfect Dark?

Ticket agent: Yes, I do. (hands them some tickets) Enjoy your flight.

(KID & ALLY – Last on Flight 2)

Kid: Thanks.

Mr. Jowai: (voiceover) All teams are now on route to the world of Perfect Dark. The first flight contains Shaggy & Velma, Dan & Mika, Paula & Jewel, Garfield & Arlene, Geese & Krauser, Kim & Ron, Jolene & Mush, and Joker & Harley. The second flight, arriving fifteen minutes after the first, contains Raven & Beast Boy, Xiaoyu & Miharu, Talon & Malon, Tiny & Dingodile, and Kid & Ally.

(Flight 1 – Landing)

Out of the airport first are once again Shaggy & Velma, although Kim & Ron are right behind them. Dan, Mika, Paula, Jewel, Joker and Harley follow, trying to get ahead of each other. Geese & Krauser are right behind this large group, trying to stay away from getting involved in a scuffle. Being smaller, Jolene & Mush come out after them as Garfield & Arlene bring up the rear.

Running out into the parking lot, the large group of racers quickly spot the marked cars they're to drive and jump in. The first ones out of the parking lot are Geese & Krauser, while Kim & Ron end up being the last ones out.

Geese: (driving) Well, we're in the lead. How're things looking, Krauser?

Krauser: (looking back) I theenk I am seeingk the mushrooms right behind us, Geese.

Geese: No problem. Those two are a quarter of our size. We can beat them in a footrace easily.

Krauser: Da, but they may be better at doingk tasks.

Geese: Well then, we'll just have to do a quicker job, won't we?

Krauser: Da…

(DAN & MIKA)

Dan: The major problem here is that we don't have any idea as to how far ahead of the second flight we are.

Mika: Yeah. For all we know, they could be landing any time now.

Dan: Yeah. We'll have to try extra hard to stay ahead here now that everyone's so close together.

(JOKER & HARLEY)

Harley: (looks back) Those two teen heroes are still behind us, Mistah J!

Joker: No worries, Harley. They'll never beat us to the Pitstop here.

Harley: Right you are, Mistah J! We'll show them!

(GARFIELD & ARLENE)

Arlene: (to the camera) We can tell that it's Geese & Krauser leading the pack here. Jolene & Mush are apparently right behind them.

Garfield: And that's Shaggy & Velma in front of us. Right now, we're about fourth out of eight so far.

Arlene: (shrugs) Well, we're in the first group of teams, so I'm not complaining.

Soon, the first of the teams arrives at the laboratory they were told to go to. The team looks around for the clue box.

Krauser: Geese! I seeingk the clue!

Geese: You're right! There it is!

The two half-brothers pull up to the lab and stop their car. They jump out and run over to the clue box.

(GEESE & KRAUSER – First at Clue 1)

Geese: (rip) Drive into the downtown area and search through the alleys.

Mr. Jowai: (voiceover) Teams must now drive themselves across the city and search the alleyways of this marked area for the clue box. The area is marked at every entrance, so teams will know when they've gone too far.

Geese: Let's move it, Krauser! Here come the shrooms!

As Geese & Krauser get back in their car just as the next team arrives. The siblings get out of their car and grab the clue.

(JOLENE & MUSH – Second at Clue 1)

Mush: (rip) C'mon, sis! Let's catch up to Geese & Krauser!

Jolene: You got it, Mush!

As the two jump back into their car, the next two teams arrive.

(SHAGGY & VELMA – Third at Clue 1)

(GARFIELD & ARLENE – Fourth at Clue 1)

Velma: (rip) We're searching through the downtown alleyways, Shag!

Shaggy: Like, let's get going, Velma!

Arlene: (rip) There's a Cheat Code in here, Garfield. Should we use it?

Garfield: This early in the race? I don't think we'll need it.

The two teams jump back into their cars and speed away as the next couple teams arrive. The four racers run at the clue box and grab the clue at almost the same time.

(DAN & MIKA – Fifth at Clue 1)

(JOKER & HARLEY – Sixth at Clue 1)

Mika: (rip) Let's get going, Dan! We're going downtown!

Dan: Got it, Mika! Let's go!

Joker: (rip) After them, Harley!

Harley: (salutes) Yessir, Mistah J!

As the two teams leave the clue box, Paula & Jewel run into view and grab a clue of their own.

(PAULA & JEWEL – Seventh at Clue 1)

Paula: (rip) The downtown alleyways.

Jewel: Let's go, Paula!

The two girls jump into their car and drive off as the final of the first eight teams pull into the parking lot. The two run over to the clue box.

(KIM & RON – Eighth at Clue 1)

Kim: (rip) You wanna go for the Cheat Code, Ron?

Ron: I don't think we need it just yet, KP. Let's go downtown.

Kim: (shrugs) Okay.

(Flight 2 – Landing Late)

The final five teams race through the airport at a fast pace, although Talon, Tiny and Dingodile are trailing a bit. The first team into the parking lot is Xiaoyu & Miharu.

Xiaoyu: Okay! Where's the cars?

Ally: There they are! I see the flag over there!

The teams make a break for the marked cars and arrive at almost the same time.

Dingodile: (gets in as he watches Raven & Beast Boy drive away) Get yer behind in here, Tiny! Let's roll!

Tiny dives into the car through the back window (which is still rolled up, by the way). Dingodile throws the car into gear and drives off.

Kid: C'mon, Ally! We're trailing!

Ally: At least we're not last this time! (jumps into the car as Kid drives it out of the parking lot)

Xiaoyu: Oh, they are NOT going to get a jump on us! Let's go, Miharu!

Miharu: No problem, Xiao! We'll catch up!

Malon: Get in, dad! We're in last place!

Talon: Comin', dearie!

(TINY & DINGODILE)

Dingodile: Why the freakin' heck did ya throw yourself through the back window, Tiny!

Tiny: Tiny no know it not open. (scratches his head) It no hurt, though.

Dingodile: Why am Ah not surprised?

(RAVEN & BEAST BOY)

Beast Boy: (looks back) Okay. We're still in the lead, Raven.

Raven: (nods) Hopefully, we can beat everyone to the first clue.

Beast Boy: I'm just hoping that the others don't have too big a lead on us.

(DOWNTOWN)

The first group of racers are driving through town, hoping to find the clue first. Geese & Krauser are still leading the pack.

Geese: Keep your eyes peeled for a marked entrance into the alleyways, Krauser. We'll obviously have to ditch the car when we do.

Krauser: Da. Don't vorry, Geese. I keep good eye open for flag!

Eventually, after another few minutes of driving, the two half-brothers spot the race flag hanging beside an entrance to an alley. Geese & Krauser park their car in a small parking lot and run into the alley. As they do, the other teams see them.

Jolene: There goes Geese & Krauser into the alley!

Mush: Let's follow them, sis!

Meanwhile, Geese & Krauser run through the alley, looking for any sign of the clue box. Suddenly, as they run into an opening with alleys going in all four directions, they spot the clue sitting against a wall.

Geese: There it is! Let's grab it, Krauser!

(GEESE & KRAUSER – First at Boss Battle)

Geese: (rip) Yep. A Boss Battle, all right.

Before the race continues, we see Mr. Jowai walking along the busy streets.

Mr. Jowai: A Boss Battle is a task only one person can perform, and the team cannot continue until the task is finished. In this Boss Battle, that racer has to search the streets of the marked downtown area for this red phone booth, the only one in the area. Once they find the phone booth, they'll find the next clue inside.

Geese: 'Who has a sharp eye?'. That would be me.

Krauser: You do good, Geese! Ve in lead!

As Geese runs off, the next team arrives. The two small racers run over to the clue box and pull out the second clue.

(JOLENE & MUSH – Second at Boss Battle)

Mush: (rip) Another Boss Battle.

Jolene: I'll do this one, Mush. You wait here

As Jolene runs off, taking a different route than what Geese took, Mush goes over to Krauser to wait with him. Kim & Ron run onto the scene shortly afterwards, Shaggy & Velma right behind them. The two teams run over to the clue box.

(KIM & RON – Third at Boss Battle)

(SHAGGY & VELMA – Fourth at Boss Battle)

Kim: (rip) It's another Boss Battle.

Ron: That person should be able to have a keen eye for spotting something in a crowd.

Kim: That would be me, Ron. I'll do this quickly.

Ron: No prob, KP! You do this quick!

Velma: (rip) I'd better do this one, Shag.

Shaggy: But like, you did the last one, and you practically exhausted yourself on it.

Velma: I know, but I'll be able to spot it quicker.

Shaggy: (shrugs) Okay. You go ahead then, Velm.

Kim and Velma run off to start the Boss Battle as the next teams arrive. They run over to the clue box and grab a clue at almost the same time.

(JOKER & HARLEY – Fifth at Boss Battle)

(DAN & MIKA – Sixth at Boss Battle)

(PAULA & JEWEL – Seventh at Boss Battle)

(GARFIELD & ARLENE – Eighth at Boss Battle)

Joker: (rip) A Boss Battle.

Harley I'll do this one, Mistah J!

Dan: (rip) You wanna do it, Mika? You're better at spotting things than I am.

Mika: Well, you're right about that, Dan. Okay. I'll do it.

Paula: (rip) I'll do this, Jewel. Wait here.

Jewel: Okay.

Garfield: (rip) I don't want you tiring yourself out again, Arlene. I'll do this one/

Arlene: (nods) Okay, Garfield.

(RAVEN & BEAST BOY)

The Titans pull up to the lab and spot the clue. They get out of their car and race over to the box.

(RAVEN & BEAST BOY – Ninth at Clue 1)

Raven: (rip) We're going downtown, BB.

Beast Boy: No problem! (pauses) Did you just call me 'BB'?

Raven: (eyes snap open) Uh…No.

The two Titans jump into their car and drive off as the next couple of teams arrive.

(XIAOYU & MIHARU – Tenth at Clue 1)

(TINY & DINGODILE – Eleventh at Clue 1)

Miharu: (rip) You wanna use the Cheat Code, Xiao?

Xiaoyu: No way, Miharu. We don't need it yet.

Dingodile: (rip) Let's get the freak out of here, Tiny!

Tiny: Yes, Dingodile!

As the two teams get back in their cars, the final teams arrive. They grab the final clues at the same time.

(KID & ALLY – Thirteenth at Clue 1)

(TALON & MALON – Last at Clue 1)

Kid: (rip) Drive downtown and search for the next clue.

Ally: Let's go, bro!

Malon: (rip) We're in last place, dad! Let's go!

Talon: I'm right behind you, dearie!

(KID & ALLY)

Kid: We're close to the back of the pack again, Ally.

Ally: …Are you thinking what I'm thinking, bro?

Kid: I believe I am, sis.

Ally: Right. (takes a green card from the envelope) Cheat Code time!

Before the race continues, we see Mr. Jowai walking along outside a huge, tall building.

Mr. Jowai: This is the first of two Cheat Codes hidden on the entire race. The first team that finds it and completes it can skip all remaining tasks and go directly to the Pitstop. However, once a team has used a Cheat Code, they may not use another one for the rest of the race. In this Cheat Code, teams must race to DataDyne, an evil corporation in the game. Once there, they must search through all of the desks on the ninth floor until they find the clue hidden in one of the drawers.

Kid: So where's Datadyne, then?

Ally: (reading the map) Follow my directions and we should get there in about half an hour.

Kid: Works for me.

(BOSS BATTLE)

Geese wanders the streets of the downtown area for the red phone booth. Mika, Garfield and Jolene are nearby.

Geese: This booth is tougher to spot than I thought. Who knew it would be this hard to find a single, solitary phone booth on the sidewalk.

Jolene: This could be trouble. By the time we find the clue, the others teams might catch up.

Suddenly, Geese spots the phone booth sitting not too far away. He rushes over to it.

Mika: Hey! He found the phone booth!

Garfield: We know where it is, now. Let's get it!

Geese reaches the phone booth, grabs a clue from the shelf inside and goes out again.

Geese: Okay. Now to go back to Krauser.

As Geese runs off, Mika, Garfield and Jolene each grab a clue themselves. They turn around and start running back.

Meanwhile, back where the other racers are waiting…

Mush: (checks his watch) I wonder what's taking everyone so long? The other racers may arrive at any moment now.

Ron: Yeah. I don't know how much of a lead we have, but I know it's probably not much.

Suddenly, Geese flies into the opening with a clue in hand. Krauser runs over as the clue is opened.

(GEESE & KRAUSER – First at Clue 2)

Geese: (rip) Drive to the beachside villa.

Mr. Jowai: (voiceover) Teams must now drive themselves to this beachside hideaway, where Joanna Dark performed a dangerous rescue mission in the game. On the docks, teams will find their next clue.

Krauser: Let us go, Geese!

The two run back to their car, get in and drive off. Not long after they do, the next three racers charge into the opening wit their respective clues. Their partners go over to meet them.

(DAN & MIKA – Second at Clue 2)

(JOLENE & MUSH – Third at Clue 2)

(GARFIELD & ARLENE – Fourth at Clue 2)

Mika: (rip) We're heading out, Dan! Let's go!

Dan: Yeah! We need to catch Geese & Krauser!

Jolene: (rip) Looks like we're going to the beach, bro.

Mush: Works for me. Let's get moving.

Garfield: (rip) Let's go, Arlene!

Arlene: Right!

The three teams run off, and as they do, they spot another couple of cars coming.

Jolene: Here comes another team!

Mush: We didn't have much of a lead at all!

The two cars park alongside the others. We then see a shot of an unknown team running towards the clue box. The teams reach in and pull out some clues.

(RAVEN & BEAST BOY – Ninth at Boss Battle)

(XIAOYU & MIHARU – Tenth at Boss Battle)

Raven: (rip) Another Boss Battle.

Beast Boy: Lemme do this, Raven! I'll do it!

Xiaoyu: (rip) You want me to do it, Miharu?

Miharu: It's alright, Xiao. I can do it.

As the two racers run off, the final two teams arrive at the clue box.

(TINY & DINGODILE – Eleventh at Boss Battle)

(TALON & MALON – Twelfth at Boss Battle)

Dingodile: (rip) You wanna do it, Tiny? All ya have ta do is search fer a red phone booth on the streets.

Tiny: Okay! Tiny do good!

Talon: (rip) Maybe I can do this one. You did the last one, Malon.

Malon: If you want to, dad.

As the final racers run off, some of the others look around.

Jewel: (counts heads) Where are the boxers?

Malon: Kid & Ally? I dunno. They were ahead of us at the first clue.

Ron: They went for the Cheat Code, man! We've gotta hurry!

(KID & ALLY)

The two siblings arrive at DataDyne, a sky-high tower. The twoquickly find the parking lot and jump out of their car.

Ally: You think the Cheat Code's already been taken, bro?

Kid: If it is, we're in serious trouble.

The two run through the huge front doors and into the main lobby of the building. However, the marble floor has been recently waxed, and the two siblings quickly slip. The two land on the ground and slide into a wall.

Ally: Ugh…My back.

Kid: (gets up) Well, let's go see if the Cheat Code's still around.

The two run up a flight of stone steps and reach the elevators. They look around.

Kid: Well, we don't see a sign telling us that the Cheat Code's been taken.

Ally: Well, the clue said the ninth floor. Let's go and start searching.

The siblings get into an elevator and travel up to the ninth floor. They get out of the elevator and quickly run into the nearest office room.

Ally: Oy! Look at all the desks!

Kid: There's only one clue hanging around here!

Ally: We may as well start looking.

(BOSS BATTLE)

Kim: You guys see the phone booth?

Paula: Afraid not. And we've been searching for a while, now.

Velma: This could allow the others to catch up now. I sure hope that this doesn't get any of us eliminated. That would be a bad way to go.

Meanwhile, Harley manages to spot the phone booth. She gleefully runs over to the booth, grabs a clue and takes off, starting her trek to get back to her boss.

Luckily, Tiny sees this. He sprints over to the phone booth, takes a clue and merrily skips away to reunite with Dingodile.

The racers waiting in the alley watch as Harley appears with a clue. Joker smirks and goes over to her as she opens the clue.

(JOKER & HARLEY – Fifth at Clue 2)

Harley: (rip) We're heading to a beach hideaway, Mistah J! Just like we always wanted!

Joker: Then what're we doing standing around here for? Let's go!

The two clowns run back to their car as the others continue waiting for the other racers to come out.

Of all the things everyone was thinking was going to happen next, Tiny coming back with the clue next wasn't one of them. The giant tiger holds his clue into the air.

Tiny: Tiny get clue! Tiny get clue!

Dingodile: (running over) How the heck did ya get in so fast, mate!

Shaggy: (voiceover) The two giants were one of the last teams to arrive at the Boss Battle, but they left in like, a pretty decent position. I like, didn't know if I should have like, felt happy for them or upset that they were ahead.

(TINY & DINGODILE – Sixth at Clue 2)

Tiny: (rip) We go, Dingodile! We catch up quick!

Dingodile: Ya can say that again, mate! We've climbed outta last place!

Meanwhile, the oher racers are still looking hard for the phone booth, and have had no luck thus far.

Velma: Jinkies. This is way tougher than I anticipated it to be.

Kim: I know, Velma. It's probably the only freaking red phone booth in the area and we STILL can't find it.

Paula: Hey! I think I see it over there!

Kim and Velma looked in the direction the orange-haired elf girl is pointing and they see the phone booth sitting on the sidewalk.

Kim: She's right! It's over there!

Velma: What're we waiting for!

The three girls charge across the street and quickly reach the phone booth. They each grab a clue and start working their way back to the alley.

(KID & ALLY)

Ally: (pulls open a drawer) Nope. Not here.

Kid: Man. This could take forever for us to find just one clue. We've been through pretty much all of these desks and still no clue.

Ally: Well, it didn't say that the Cheat Code was taken. It's gotta be here somewhere.

Kid: (opens up another drawer, but freezes when he sees a green card inside) The Cheat Code! Ally, I found the Cheat Code!

(KID & ALLY – Cheat Code Completed)

Ally: (rushes over) YES! We're still in this! What's it say, bro?

Kid: (rip) Congratulations on completing the Cheat Code. You may now go directly to the Pitstop.

Mr. Jowai: (voiceover) Now that Kid & Ally have completed the Cheat Code, they can skip all remaining tasks and go directly to the Pitstop, the Carrington Institute.

Ally: Come on, bro! Back to the elevator!

Kid: Right! We don't want to waste any time!

The two run back into the elevator and start their trek back to the ground floor. Once they arrive, they rush out of the elevator, down the steps and fly out the door (after once again slipping on the waxed floor). They quickly get back to their car, jump in and drive off.

(BOSS BATTLE)

Beast Boy manages to find the phone booth. He quickly grabs the clue.

Beast Boy: Well, that task wasn't really that bad.

The green boy runs off to rejoin with Raven. Once he's gone, Talon and Miharu arrive as well. They each grab the clue and run off.

Meanwhile, Velma manages to beat Kim and Paula to the alley. Shaggy sees her and runs over.

(SHAGGY & VELMA – Seventh at Clue 2)

Velma: (rip) Let's get going, Shaggy!

Shaggy: Like, you got it, Velm!

The two detectives run off to their car as Paula shows up. Jewel quickly runs over to her friend.

(PAULA & JEWEL – Eighth at Clue 2)

Paula: (rip) Drive to the beachside villa.

Jewel: At least we're in a half-decent position, Paula. Let's go and see if we can improve!

The two girls quickly go back to their car and drive off. Once they do, Kim arrives. Ron sees her and runs over.

(KIM & RON – Ninth at Clue 2)

Kim: (rip) Drive to the beachside hideaway.

Ron: Sounds good to me. Let's go, KP!

The two teens leave the alley and start walking across the street. However, as they are, a car screeches around a corner and starts racing towards the racer in front, which just so happens to be Kim.

Ron: (sees the car coming, then runs at Kim) Kim! LOOK OUT!

Kim turns her head in time to see the car racing headlong towards her. However, she's too frozen to move. Ron quickly jumps in and shoves Kim out of the way, leaving only himself in the path of the car.

Thankfully, Ron is already in the air, so the car doesn't run him over. Instead, he bounces off the car's hood and lands roughly on his leg. The car speeds away like it didn't notice.

Kim: RON! (rushes over to her friend) Are you okay!

Ron: (through his teeth) KP…I…I can't feel my leg!

Xiaoyu: What the heck happen-…Oh, no!

Kim looks up from Ron and sees Xiaoyu, Raven and Malon rushing over.

Malon: What happened!

Kim: (fighting back tears) He…He saved me from being run over. Oh, Ron! I'm so sorry!

Ron: It's okay, KP…I think my leg's just…Twisted. Man, this is gonna HURT for the next few days.

Talon: What in tarnation happened to Stoppable!

The girls look and see Talon running over with Beast Boy and Xiaoyu. Each of them have a clue.

(RAVEN & BEAST BOY – Tenth at Clue 2)

(XIAOYU & MIHARU – Eleventh at Clue 2)

(TALON & MALON – Last at Clue 2)

Raven: Long story short, Ron got nailed saving Kim from being run over.

Talon: Boy! That sure was brave of the boy!

Ron: (as Kim helps him to stand) What're you guys waiting around here for! Go on!

Xiaoyu: No way! You need help!

Kim: We don't want you guys losing the race because of us, now go!

The other teams pause before reluctantly giving in. They bid Kim & Ron good luck as they run over to their respective cars and drive off.

Kim: (helping Ron hobble over to the last car) Why would you do that for me, Ron?

Ron: (chuckles) KP, you're my best friend. I couldn't let anything like that happen to you.

Malon: (voiceover) Ron did the unthinkable back there. I never would have pictured him as the brave type, but I guess it only makes sense when his best friend is in trouble. I sure hope he's able to recover from that quickly.

Kim helps Ron get into the car, then jumps behind the wheel and drives off.

Kim: We need to take you to the hospital!

Ron: No, Kim. We need to finish the leg. I don't want us to be eliminated just because I can't walk right. I'm fine. Just drive to the beachside villa and we'll continue on.

(GEESE & KRAUSER)

The two half-brothers drive onto the beach and see the huge villa in plain view. After parking their car just off the beach, they get out and rush over to the clue box sitting on the dock.

(GEESE & KRAUSER – First at Split Track)

Krauser: (takes out an envelope) Ve are beingk first, Geese!

Geese: Finally. We're doing half-decent. (rip) Split Track.

Before the race continues, we see Mr. Jowai walking along the docks outside the villa.

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 'Barrels' or 'Barnacles'. In Barrels, teams must go to the villa's wine cellar and search through the empty barrels until they find a clue. This task requires no skill, but searching through all of the barrels in the wine cellar could take a while. In 'Barnacles', teams must ride out into the water and start fishing. Teams must catch five fish before receiving their next clue. It takes a bit of skill and patience to catch five fish, but teams that know how to do it could finish quicker.

Geese: Neither of us are good fishermen, Krauser. Let's search the wine cellar.

Krauser: Da!

The two men run off into the villa to start the task. Once they go, the next three teams arrive at almost the same time. After a short run through the sand on the beach, the teams arrive at the clue.

(JOLENE & MUSH – Second at Split Track)

(GARFIELD & ARLENE – Third at Split Track)

(DAN & MIKA – Fourth at Split Track)

Jolene: (rip) It's another Split Track!

Mush: We're pretty good fishers. Let's try that.

Jolene: Yeah. It'll be tough for us to search giant wine barrels, anyway.

Garfield: (rip) I, personally, think we should search the wine cellar.

Arlene: Oh, right. You told me you hate going fishing with Jon.

Dan: (rip) I'm with Garfield, Mika. Let's go search the wine cellar.

Mika: Sounds like a plan, Dan. Let's go.

(JOKER & HARLEY)

Harley: I dunno if we're taking the short way, Mistah J…

Joker: Oh, stop worrying, Harley! I know what I'm doing!

Harley: (shrugs) If ya say so.

(KID & ALLY)

Kid: Look, Ally! There's the Carrington Institute!

Ally: Let's park the car, bro! This is the Pitstop!

The siblings park their car, get out and run inside.

Just inside, the two see Mr. Jowai standing the lobby, on the mat. At his side is Joanna Dark. Kid & Ally run towards the mat and jump on.

Joanna: Welcome to the Carrington Institute.

Ally: Thanks!

Mr. Jowai: Kid & Ally…

Kid, Ally: (look at Mr. Jowai in anticipation)

Mr. Jowai: …You're team number one!

(KID & ALLY – First Place)

Kid, Ally: YES! (hug each other)

Mr. Jowai: How does it feel to come out of literally last place to come here first?

Ally: It feels great! I never thought we could pull ahead until we found that Cheat Code!

Mr. Jowai: And you guys have a bit of a lead for the next leg. So get some rest and get ready for when you depart.

Kid: (nods) We will!

(SPLIT TRACK)

Jolene & Mush sit out on the water and in a boat, having not caught any fish yet.

Mush: Well, THIS stinks.

Jolene: Just be patient, Mush. We'll catch a fish or two soon.

Mush: It's not that. There's another team coming in.

Jolene looks at the shore and sees Tiny & Dingodile racing across the beach. The two giants get to the clue.

(TINY & DINGODILE – Fifth at Split Track)

Dingodile: (rip) It's a Split Track.

Tiny: We heavy, so we sink fishing boat. We search wine cellar, then!

Dingodile: (nods) Yer right on that, Tiny.

The two giants run off as the next couple teams arrive.

(SHAGGY & VELMA – Sixth at Split Track)

(PAULA & JEWEL – Seventh at Split Track)

Velma: (rip) You think we should put our detective skills to work, Shag?

Shaggy: Like, you know it, Velm! To the wine cellar!

Jewel: (rip) I think we should go fishing. From the looks of things, everyone seems to be doing the other task.

Paula: Good idea, Jewel. Maybe we can slip ahead this way.

(JOKER & HARLEY)

Joker: Okay. I found our way back onto the main road. Now we're on the way to the beach again.

Harley: I TOLD ya we weren't taking a shortcut, Mistah J!

Joker: Whatever.

(SPLIT TRACK)

The teams that chose to search the wine barrels quickly find the cellar starting to become cramped. This is also mainly because whatever checked barrel people find is discarded on the ground.

Geese: This is getting pathetic. That stupid clue must have legs or something.

Krauser: Maybe, but I haff collected one, Geese! (pulls a clue from the barrel and holds it above his head)

Geese: Then stop looking like a champion and read it, you moron!

Krauser: Oh, right! (rip) Ve go to Pitstop, Geese!

Before the race continues, we see Mr. Jowai walking along outside a huge, futuristic building.

Mr. Jowai: Teams must now drive themselves to the Carrington Institure, where Joanna Dark works loyally day after day. This headquarters for secret agents, also an enemy for DataDyne, is the Pitstop for this leg of the race. That last team to check in here may be eliminated.

Geese: We're the first team out, Krauser! Let's go!

Meanwhile, out on the waters…

(JOLENE & MUSH – 3 fish)

(PAULA & JEWEL – 1 fish)

Mush: Hey, look! The first team's finished the task in the wine cellar.

Jewel: …It's Geese & Krauser. They finished first.

Jolene: And not only that, the next team's arrived.

Mush: Hey, I thought they left the Boss Battle closer to the front of the pack.

(JOKER & HARLEY – Eighth at Split Track)

Joker: (looks in the box) Eh, there's still a good amount of clues here.

Harley: Then we still have a chance, then. (rip) I say we search the wine cellar, Mistah J.

Joker: Quite. I've never been one for fishing, anyway.

Inside, the others are still searching the wine cellar for the clues when Joker & Harley rush through the doors at the end of the room.

Velma: Great. Look who it is.

Joker: Okay, Harley! Let's get cracking!

Dingodile: Bingo! Jackpot!

Tiny: (looks up from searching a barrel) Dingodile find clue?

Dingodile: Ah did, Tiny! (rip) And we're headin' to the Pitstop!

Tiny: (jumps excitedly, making everything shake) We go, then! We go to Pitstop!

The two giants race out of the wine cellar, leaving everyone else to continue the search.

Garfield: Man. We arrived before them and they STILL get the clue first.

Arlene: Just keep searching, Garfield. We'll find it.

Outside, on the waters, the two teams fishing see Tiny & Dingodile leaving the villa.

Mush: No way! They got it first!

Jolene: Keep fishing, bro! We only need one more fish!

As the teams continue fishing, the next few teams arrive at the clue box.

(TALON & MALON – Ninth at Split Track)

(RAVEN & BEAST BOY – Tenth at Split Track)

(XIAOYU & MIHARU – Eleventh at Split Track)

Malon: I sure hope Ron's alright.

Talon: I do too, dear. I do, too. (rip) Let's search the wine cellar, Malon. Everyone seems to be doing that.

Malon: Yeah. Let's go.

Raven: (rip) I agree with them, Beast Boy. Let's search the wine cellar.

Beast Boy: That's a relief. I don't think I'd be able to stand catching those poor fish.

Xiaoyu: I, for one, think it would be better to fish.

Miharu: Agreed. Let's grab a boat!

As Xiaoyu & Miharu grab a boat and start rowing out to the other teams, Jolene & Mush manage to catch their fifth and final fish. The two siblings quickly row onto the shore and trade the fish in for a clue.

Jolene: Thanks! (rip) C'mon, Mush! We've got a good standing!

Mush: Yeah! We're heading to the Pitstop!

Inside the wine cellar, Shaggy & Velma manage to find a clue inside one of the barrels. Velma pulls out the clue and rips it open as Shaggy goes over to join her.

Velma: (rip) Looks like we're heading to the Pitstop, Shag!

Shaggy: Like, great! We can finish decently!

As the two detectives run out of the cellar, Talon & Malon and Raven & Beast Boy enter it.

Beast Boy: (starts searching a barrel) Did you guys hear about what happened at the Boss Battle?

Mika: No. Something bad happen?

Malon: Bad? A car was about to run Kim over after she finished the task and Ron pushed her out of the way!

Dan: (stops searching) Is he alright!

Raven: Luckily, the car didn't run him over, but he really hurt his leg. It's going to be tough for them to complete a task now.

Joker: (chuckles) How tragic.

Talon: (looks at Joker suspiciously) Hmm…

Talon: (voiceover) Call me crazy, but after hearing that heckler's reaction to Ron's accident made me wonder if he and that henchwoman of his had something to do with it. I may be wrong, as they seem to find anything funny, but for now, I remain suspicious of that guy.

(PITSTOP)

Geese and Krauser run into the Carrington Institute and step onto the mat. Krauser has his chest swelled up with pride.

Mr. Jowai: Geese & Krauser………You are team number two!

(GEESE & KRAUSER – Second Place)

Krauser: (chest deflates) Two? But…Ve vere ahead at all zee clues…

Geese: (slaps his hand on his forehead) The boxers…We haven't seen them all day. They must have used the Cheat Code.

(SPLIT TRACK)

Kim & Ron finally show up at the Split Track. Kim helps Ron out of the car and, with one of his arms draped over her shoulders, assists him in walking over to the clue box.

(KIM & RON – Last at Split Track)

Kim: (rip) I think we should fish.

Ron: (nods) It'll take pressure off my leg.

Kim helps Ron into a boat and the two row it out into the open.

Xiaoyu: Hey! You guys made it! Great!

Miharu: I sure hope you guys can pull ahead here.

Kim: (nods) Thanks, guys.

As the two teams are conversing, Paula & Jewel manage to catch their fifth fish. The two girls row back to the shore and trade in the fish for an envelope.

Jewel: Thanks much! (rip) The Pitstop! We're going to the Pitstop, Paula!

Paula: Let's go! Quick!

(PITSTOP)

The doors to the Carrington Institute open again as Tiny & Dingodile run across the marble floor to the mat. Unfortunately, this floor is just as polished as the one in the DataDyne building, and both giants slip, land on the ground, and slide directly into Mr. Jowai and Joanna, checking in at the same time.

Mr. Jowai: Ugh…Tiny & Dingodile…Oh, my back………You're team number…Three.

(TINY & DINGODILE – Third Place)

Tiny, Dingodile: (in pain) …Yaaaaaaay…

(SPLIT TRACK)

Inside the wine cellar, Dan & Mika manage to find a clue in one of the barrels.

Mika: (rip) Let's go to the Pitstop, Dan!

Dan: Works for me! Let's go!

A few minutes after the two Street Fighters leave, Garfield manages to find a clue as well.

Garfield: Arlene! I found a clue!

Arlene: (tiredly sitting on a checked barrel) …Huh?…Oh…That's great… (breathes heavily as she stumbles over) So much…Heavy lifting…Finally over…

Garfield: (rip) Let's get going, Arlene. It looks like you need another rest.

Garfield helps Arlene out of the cellar and back to their car. The two cats get in and drive away.

(PITSTOP)

It's a race to the finish for Jolene & Mush and Shaggy & Velma. The two teams are neck and neck with each other, but once they get to the doors to the Carrington Institute, the detectives once again get the upper hand and check into the newly reconstructed Pitstop just before the mushroom siblings.

Mr. Jowai: Shaggy & Velma………You're team number four!

(SHAGGY & VELMA – Fourth Place)

Velma: Yes! We caught up!

Shaggy: That's like, a lot better than what we would have gotten if we didn't go fast!

The two detectives step off the mat and Jolene & Mush, holding hands, check in.

Mr. Jowai: Jolene & Mush, that makes you team number five!

(JOLENE & MUSH – Fifth Place)

Mush: Yeah! Better than what we had in the last leg!

Jolene: That's for sure!

(SPLIT TRACK)

On the waters, Xiaoyu & Miharu quickly catch the five fish and row back to the shore to get the clue.

Miharu: (rip) This is the Pitstop, Xiao!

Xiaoyu: Great! (turns to the remaining boat) Good luck, guys!

Kim: (calling back) Thanks!

In the wine cellar, there are only three teams left with searching for the clue. However, Raven manages to find a clue in one of the barrels.

Raven: (rip) Move it, Beast Boy! This is the Pitstop!

Beast Boy: Right behind ya, Raven!

(PITSTOP)

Paula & Jewel run the short distance from the doors to the Carrington Institute to the Pitstop.

Mr. Jowai: Paula & Jewel………You're team number six!

(PAULA & JEWEL – Sixth Place)

Paula, Jewel: YES! (hug each other)

(SPLIT TRACK)

(KIM & RON – 4 fish)

Ron: How're we doing, Kim?

Kim: Almost done, Ron. Don't worry.

Inside the wine cellar, the remaining two teams are still searching for a clue in the barrels.

Harley: We've been here forever, Mistah J!

Joker: Don't worry, Harley. We're still in this.

Talon: Any luck yet, dear?

Malon: Not yet, dad.

(PITSTOP)

Dan & Mika run into the Carrington Institute and step onto the mat.

Mr. Jowai: Dan & Mika………You are team number seven!

(DAN & MIKA – Seventh Place)

Mika: Alright! That's pretty good!

Dan: Let's try for that first place finish in the next leg!

Shortly afterwards, Garfield and Arlene, whom is a little short on breath, step onto the mat and check in.

Mr. Jowai: Garfield & Arlene………You're team number eight!

(GARFIELD & ARLENE – Eighth Place)

Arlene: (whew!) That's…A relief.

Garfield: Let's get some rest, Arlene. I think we'll be needing it.

(SPLIT TRACK)

Malon: Hey! A clue! I found a clue! (pulls an envelope from the barrel)

Talon: You did! That's great, dear!

Malon: (rip) C'mon, dad! We're going to the Pitstop!

As Talon & Malon leave the cellar, Joker finally manages to find a clue.

Joker: It's about time. (rip) Let's move, Harley!

Harley: You got it, Mistah J!

(PITSTOP)

Two Japanese schoolgirls run into the Carrington Institute and check into the Pitstop. They look at Mr. Jowai with hopeful glares.

Mr. Jowai: Xiaoyu & Miharu………You're team number nine!

(XIAOYU & MIHARU – Ninth Place)

Xiaoyu, Miharu: Alright! (hug each other)

(SPLIT TRACK)

Ron: Hey! KP! I got a bite!

Kim: Reel it in, Ron! This'll be our last fish!

Ron reels the fish in. Once he does, the two heroes row the boat back to shore and get a clue.

Kim: Thanks. (rip) Come on, Ron! If we hurry, maybe we'll stay in the race!

Ron: Works for me!

Kim helps Ron back to the car, gets in and drives off.

(PITSTOP)

Raven & Beast Boy quickly park their car outside the Carrington Institute. The two titans get out and run into the building, checking into the Pitstop.

Mr. Jowai: Raven & Beast Boy………You are team number ten!

(RAVEN & BEAST BOY – Tenth Place)

Beast Boy: Man. That was pretty rough.

Raven: Hopefully, we'll do better in the next leg.

(JOKER & HARLEY)

Harley: (rolls down her window) Hey, buster! You know the way to the Carrington Institute?

Man: Yeah. Just go down this road for about two miles, hang a right, travel down that way for about fifteen minutes and you're there.

Harley: Thanks, pal! (looks at Joker) You heard him, Mistah J!

Joker: That I did, Harley! Let's get moving!

(KIM & RON)

Kim: (looks in the rearview mirror) You sure you're okay, Ron?

Ron: Don't worry, KP. I'm fine. We'll worry about my leg after we check into the Pitstop.

(PITSTOP)

Malon: There's the Pitstop, dad!

Talon: I see it, Malon! Let's check in!

The two farmers run into the Carrington Institute and step onto the mat.

Mr. Jowai: Talon & Malon………You're team number eleven!

(TALON & MALON – Eleventh Place)

Malon: We're still in? That's great!

Talon: Here's hoping we can pull ahead again in the next leg.

Mr. Jowai and Joanna Dark wait patiently for the final safe team to arrive. Time passes, but eventually, they hear a car pulling into the parking lot just outside. After some footsteps are heard, the front door to the building opens.

Kim & Ron enter the building, with Kim helping Ron with walking. The two heroes walk up to the Pitstop and check in.

Kim: We're eliminated, aren't we?

Mr. Jowai: Kim & Ron………You are team number twelve!

(KIM & RON – Twelfth Place)

Kim: WHAT!

Ron: Boo-Yah! We're still in!

Kim: I don't believe it! After what happened, I thought we'd be eliminated for sure!

Ron: Don't worry about it, KP! We'll catch up in the next leg!

Sad music plays as Joker & Harley check into the Pitstop, looking confident.

Mr. Jowai: Joker & Harley………(sigh) You're the last team to arrive.

Joker: (face falls) Really? Everyone else came here already?

Mr. Jowai: Yep. I'm sorry to tell you that you've both been eliminated from the race.

(JOKER & HARLEY – ELIMINATED)

We see Joker & Harley talking to the camera later that night.

Joker: I honestly thought Harley and I would last longer. The way we've been playing should have guaranteed us a spot in the next leg, but I guess that it wasn't meant to be. The other teams are just that much craftier than us when it comes to running the race.

Harley: Ah, I'm not too upset with being the fourth team eliminated. I kinda figured we'd go sooner or later. I'm just surprised that teams like the mushrooms and the giants lasted longer than we did. Well, that's the way the ball bounces. Someone's gotta go, and it just so happened to be us this time.

Joker: Harley and I will probably go back to our daily routine of Batman foiling my genius plans all the time. But hey, Harley's my main girl. She's never complained about any of my plans failing. But what do you expect? She's heads-over-heels for me.

Harley: I love Mistah J. He's been such a great boss ever since I joined him and I never care that none of his plans ever work. I just love seeing the look on his face whenever it looks like things are looking up for him. I'll always be there for Mistah J, and I imagine it's the same for him.

Joker: I'm still shocked that we're eliminated here. I thought I told that car driver to make sure that he didn't miss…

Harley: (nudges Joker nervously) Mistah J…

Joker: (looks at the camera with wide eyes) Uh…Oops…

We see a slow-motion shot of Joker & Harley turning their backs to the camera and leaving the Pitstop. As they get to the door, Joker casts a dark look over his shoulder. The clown prince of crime pushes open the door as he and Harley leave the institute.

Mr. Jowai: (voiceover) On the next leg of the Amazing Race: VG Style…

We see Velma sleeping, resting her head on Shaggy's shoulder as they wait in an airport. Shaggy gently runs his hand through her hair.

Mr. Jowai: (voiceover) Teams question the relationship between Shaggy & Velma.

Malon: Are you sure those two are just friends?

Jolene: (shrugs) That's what they told me.

We see Dan at the top of a cliff, preparing for a bungee jump, looking down at the deep cavern below him.

Mr. Jowai: (voiceover) And Dan faces his biggest fear.

Dan: (gulps) Man. I-I REALLY hate heights.

A slow-motion shot of Dan lifting his head up, biting his lip and backing away from the cliff.
