Leg Five
111111111111111111111111111111111111
Before the leg starts, we see Mr. Jowai walking along inside the lobby of a large building.
Mr. Jowai: The world of Perfect Dark. In this world, a special agent named Joanna Dark has defeated several different evil companies, not to mention an invading race of aliens. This world is well-known for Miss dark herself because she is often referred to as a female James Bond. And here, in the heart of it all, is the Carrington Institute, the agency Joanna works at. This building, quite possibly the most famous building in this node, was the fourth Pitstop in a race around the VG Universe.
We see clips of the twelve remaining teams checking into the Pitstop, starting with Kid & Ally. We then see a god number of the racers eating at a table.
Mr. Jowai: After checking in, teams received a mandatory rest period. This allowed them to eat…
We see Tiny sleeping in a bed with his feet resting on the pillow.
Mr. Jowai: …Sleep…
We see Ron sitting in a chair, his injured foot propped up on a footstool. Kid had his hand on Ron's shoulder and is asking him if he's alright. Ron chuckles and nods.
Mr. Jowai: …And mingle with the other teams. Now that they've used the Cheat Code, will Kid & Ally remain in the lead? And will Ron's newfound injury spell elimination for he and Kim? Kid & Ally, whom were the first to arrive, will be the first t depart, twelve hours later.
(PITSTOP)
It's once again night out as the boxing siblings prepare to leave the Pitstop. Once the time arrives, Ally rips open the envelope as Kid turns on a flashlight.
(KID & ALLY – First to Depart)
Ally: (rip) Fly to the world of Sonic the Hedgehog.
Mr. Jowai: (voiceover) Teams must now fly to the world of Sonic the Hedgehog, one of the most popular nodes around. Once they land, they must take a taxi to Green Forest, where they'll find the next clue.
Kid: Let's get going, sis.
Ally: Right.
Kid: (voiceover) I'm really surprised that Ally and I are still in this. My guess is that we got extremely lucky these past couple legs. And now that we've used the Cheat Code, I think that we may have the disadvantage now.
Jumping into their car, Kid & Ally drive off.
Kid: How long until the airport, sis?
Ally: (reading a map) About twenty minutes.
Kid: We've got about a half an hour on the next team. We'll need to find a airline quickly once we arrive.
Eventually, the two end up at the airport. They jump out of their car and rush inside to book a flight.
Kid: Do you have any flights heading towards the world of Sonic the Hedgehog, would you?
Ticket agent: Yes, we do. The earliest flight leaves in four hours.
Ally: (looks at Kid) That's a good ways off, bro. Let's see if we can find a better flight.
Kid: You read my mind, Ally. Let's start looking.
(PITSTOP)
(GEESE & KRAUSER – Second to Depart)
Geese: (rip) Blah, blah, blah. Yadda, yadda, yadda. Let's go.
Krauser: Uh…Vere are ve headingk?
Geese: (voiceover) I find it no surprise that Krauser and I are still in the race. All those that have already been eliminated had no skill, and it was only natural that they be the first four teams to fall. I have no doubt that Krauser and I can win this.
The two half-brothers get into their car and drive off.
(TINY & DINGODILE – Third to Depart)
Tiny: (rip) You have 50 dollars for leg of race.
Dingodile: (grabs his backpack) Let's go, Tiny.
Dingodile: (voiceover) Tiny and Ah consider it a miracle that we're still in the race. Not only are we big and slow, but Ah think that we've got at least one team tryin ta get us outta here. Well, Tiny and Ah are gonna stick around, lemme tell ya that!
The two friends walk to their car and get it, driving off.
(SHAGGY & VELMA – Fourth to Depart)
Velma: (rip) Fly to the world of Sonic the Hedgehog.
Shaggy: Ready, Velm?
Velma: You bet, Shag! Let's go!
Shaggy: (voiceover) Teams are like, probably surprised that Velma and I lasted this long. I have to admit that this is like, really tiring, constantly running around everywhere. But hey, this is really a blast, man!
With Shaggy at the wheel, the two detectives drive off.
(KID & ALLY)
Ally: Hey, bro! Look! Another airline!
Kid: Let's go check it out!
The two boxers go over to the airline with hopes of getting an earlier flight.
Kid: We're looking for a flight heading to the world of Sonic the Hedgehog.
Ticket agent: Let's see…Oh! We have a flight departing at six.
Ally: Bro! That's like, and hour earlier!
Kid: (nods) This may end up being our best chance. (turns to the ticket agent) We'll take four tickets, please.
(KID & ALLY – First on Flight 1)
(PITSTOP)
(JOLENE & MUSH – Fifth to Depart)
Mush: (rip) Let's head out, Jolene. We've got a bit of catching up to do.
Jolene: Not a problem. We've still got a decent standing.
Mush: (voiceover) Jolene and I have been doing pretty well these past few legs. The best leg we got was back in leg two when we came in second. We're really hoping that we can stay in the race long enough to achieve the elusive first-place position.
The two leave the institute and climb into a car, driving off.
(PAULA & JEWEL – Sixth to Depart)
Jewel: (rip) Looks like we're heading to the world of Sonic the Hedgehog, Paula.
Paula: Works for me, Jewel. Let's go.
Paula: (voiceover) Jewel and I feel like we're struggling to stay in, even after we've gotten a couple of good places in a row. I feel that we're one of the weaker teams here and we could go at any time. We just really need to stay focused if we're to have any chance of survival.
(AIRPORT)
Geese & Krauser walk into the airport and quickly see the airline. They walk over.
Geese: (looks around suspiciously) I don't see the boxers around here at all.
Krauser: Dey must be in tha restroom, Geese. (to the ticket agent) Do you haff any tickets goingk to the vorld of Soneec tha Hedgehog?
Ticket agent: (trying to decode Krauser's accent) Uh…Sure. The flight leaves at seven.
Geese: We'll take it.
Krauser: Da!
(GEESE & KRAUSER – First on Flight 2)
As Geese & Krauser leave the counter, Tiny & Dingodile arrive. The two giants go over to the counter.
Dingodile: We'd like two tickets on the earliest flight ta the world of Sonic the Hedgehog, if ya don't mind.
Ticket agent: Not at all. (hands the two some tickets) The flight leaves at seven.
Tiny: (grins) Thank you.
(TINY & DINGODILE – Second on Flight 2)
Geese: (sees this and mutteres) Great. We're sharing a flight with THOSE two.
(PITSTOP)
(DAN & MIKA – Seventh to Depart)
Dan: (rip) Let's go, Mika!
Mika: Right! We'll catch up for sure here!
Dan: (voiceover) Mika and I are working real well together. We've been in the race this long without any real problems, so I'm confident that we can go all the way, getting along the whole way to the finish line.
The two Street Fighters climb into one of the remaining cars and drive off in it.
(GARFIELD & ARLENE – Eight to Depart)
Arlene: (rip) Fly to the world of Station Square.
Garfield: (pulls money out of the envelope) Let's go, Arlene.
Arlene: (voiceover) Garfield has really been supporting me these past couple of legs when he found out about my weak stamina. He's really been pulling his weight around, so this could make up for my weakness and land us a spot in the finals.
(AIRPORT)
Thanks to a bit of quick driving, Jolene & Mush manage to beat Shaggy & Velma to the airport. The two mushrooms dash over to the counter to order tickets.
Jolene: We're looking for tickets for a flight heading to the world of Sonic the Hedgehog.
Ticket agent: The flight leaves at seven, if that's alright.
Jolene: It's fine, thanks.
(JOLENE & MUSH – Third on Flight 2)
As the two leave the counter, Shaggy & Velma arrive. The two detectives approach the counter.
Velma: You wouldn't happen to have any more tickets for that same flight, would you?
Ticket agent: As a matter of fact, we do.
Shaggy: (grins) Like, book'em!
(SHAGGY & VELMA – Last on Flight 2)
(PITSTOP)
(XIAOYU & MIHARU – Ninth to Depart)
Xiaoyu: Ready for some serious catching up, Miharu?
Miharu: You know it, Xiao! (rip) Alright! The world of Sonic the Hedgehog!
Xiaoyu: Are you kidding me!
Miharu: No way! In fact, we're going to Green Forest!
Xiaoyu: Let's go! We have a call to make!
Xiaoyu: (voiceover) Miharu and I haven't really been that lucky these past few legs. Most of our standings have been pretty close to the back of the pack, and we need a way to climb out of that position and get higher up. So while Miharu was driving, I made a couple of quick calls.
Xiaoyu: (on the phone) Is this the airport? Is it possible to book flights from where I am?…It is? Great! Well, I'd like to know what the earliest flight heading to the world of Sonic the Hedgehog is…Great! Can I book two tickets?…You're a lifesaver, man! Thank you so much! (hangs up the phone)
Miharu: So what did we get?
Xiaoyu: A flight leaving at six.
(XIAOYU & MIHARU – Second on Flight 1)
(RAVEN & BEAST BOY – Tenth to Depart)
Raven: (rip) Let's move Beast Boy. Hopefully, we can catch up.
Beast Boy: We will at the airport, Rae! Don't worry!
Raven: (grabs Beast Boy and chucks him into the car) Don't call me Rae!
Raven: (voiceover) I'll admit that Beast Boy and I don't get along very well, but that's mainly because he gets in my hair all the time. I know he means well, but he REALLY walks the line every time he opens his mouth.
(AIRPORT)
Paula & Jewel race into the airport. They quickly find the airline everyone's been using and go over to it.
Paula: We'd like two tickets to the world of Sonic the Hedgehog, please.
Ticket agent: The earliest flight's been sold out, but the next flight comes in about a half hour later.
Jewel: (sighs) That'll have to do. Thanks.
(PAULA & JEWEL – First on Flight 3)
As Paula & Jewel leave the counter, Dan & Mika arrive. They see the two girls leaving the counter and go over to it.
Dan: Do you have any more tickets for the same flight those two girls just purchased?
Ticket agent: I sure do. (hands the to their tickets) The flight leaves at seven thirty.
Mika: Thanks a lot, pal!
(DAN & MIKA – Second on Flight 3)
(PITSTOP)
(TALON & MALON – Eleventh to Depart)
Malon: (rip) Let's head out, dad. We need to catch up.
Talon: Right you are, dear. Let's get moving.
Malon: (voiceover) When we first started the race, we had two good standings back-to-back. Now we've had two close calls back-to-back. Dad and I have decided that we're going to try extra hard to get the higher slot, so the others had better watch out!
Malon: Here's hoping we can land a decent flight.
(KIM & RON – Last to Depart)
Kim: Are you sure you're okay, Ron?
Ron: My leg's find, KP. I feel tons better now.
Kim: (sighs) If you say so. (rip) Let's go, Ron.
Ron: Right.
Ron: (voiceover) After getting some rest, my leg's been feeling a hundred times better than the last leg. I still can't walk on it properly, but at least Kim doesn't need to support me with walking. I really wanna prove to her that I can handle something like this on my own.
The two heroes walk towards the remaining car, Ron limping more than walking, and get in. The two drive off towards the airport.
(AIRPORT)
Garfield & Arlene dash into the airport and run over to the counter to order tickets, hoping to get on a good flight.
Arlene: We need to get to the world of Sonic the Hedgehog. You have any good tickets handy?
Ticket agent: Our earliest flight departs at seven thirty if that's alright.
Garfield: If there are other teams on it, it's good.
(GARFIELD & ARLENE – Third on Flight 3)
As the two cats receive their tickets, Xiaoyu & Miharu arrive. They sneak by everyone else and go over to the earlier airline they had booked a flight on in the car.
Xiaoyu: We booked tickets for this flight about twenty minutes ago. We're here to pick them up.
Ticket agent: (picks up a list) And you are?
Xiaoyu: Ling Xiaoyu.
Ticket agent: Let's see…Ah! Here you are! (hands the two some tickets) The flight leaves a six.
Miharu: Thank you very much!
Not much later, Raven & Beast Boy show up. The two Titans run over to the counter.
Raven: We need some tickets heading to the world of Sonic the Hedgehog.
Ticket agent: We have a flight departing at seven thirty if that's what you'd like.
Beast Boy: (nods) Sounds like a plan.
(RAVEN & BEAST BOY – Fourth on Flight 3)
Finally, the last two teams walk into the airport together, Ron limping behind a bit.
Kim: (pulls Ron aside) There's Kid & Ally, Ron. Let's see if they got some good tickets.
The two heroes go over to the boxers. Talon & Malon notice them and get suspicious.
Ron: You guys get some tickets?
Kid: We sure did. (hands Kim & Ron some tickets) The flight leaves an hour before the next!
(KIM & RON – Third on Flight 1)
Ally: (voiceover) We decided to form an alliance with Kim & Ron because we figured they'd need some help with Ron's injured leg. They're good people and we don't want to see them get eliminated this early in the game.
Malon: (whispers) Those two kept some tickets for Kim & Ron, dad…
Talon: (whispers) Maybe there's a better flight hanging around somewhere. I'll go check.
As Talon wanders off, Malon notices Shaggy & Velma sitting on a bench. Velma, asleep, has her head rested on Shaggy's shoulder, using it like a pillow. Shaggy gently runs his hand through Velma's hair. Malon raises an eyebrow, then turns to her left.
Malon: Are you sure those two are just friends?
Jolene: (shrugs) That's what they told me.
Malon: (voiceover) Seeing Shaggy & Velma like that really made a lot of us question their relationship. They had told us that they were simply friends, but after seeing them cuddling like that, I don't really know anymore.
Malon suddenly sees Talon coming back over to her. She walks away from the group of others.
Malon: Any luck?
Talon: Yepper! Two tickets on a flight leaving an hour earlier!
Malon: (hugs her father) That's great!
(TALON & MALON – Fourth on Flight 1)
Mr. Jowai: (voiceover) All twelve teams are now flying to the world of Sonic the Hedgehog on three different flights. On the first flight, arriving at four in the afternoon, are Kid & Ally, Xiaoyu & Miharu, Kim & Ron and Talon & Malon. The next flight, arriving an hour later, contains Geese & Krauser, Tiny & Dingodile, Jolene & Mush and Shaggy & Velma. The third flight, arriving half an hour after the second, contains Paula & Jewel, Dan & Mika, Garfield & Arlene and Raven & Beast Boy.
(Flight 1 – Landing Late)
Amongst the normal citizens leaving the plane, the first four teams try to rush out of the airport without wasting too much time.
Xiaoyu: This is just freaking great! We finally manage to get up front and our plane arrives half an hour late!
Miharu: We'd better hurry. We're still ahead of the others, but not by a lot now!
The first team out of the airport is Xiaoyu & Miharu. Kid, Ally, Malon and Kim come out next, racing to stay ahead. Talon follows next, panting and sweating as he tries to keep up. Ron brings up the rear, limping as fast as he can.
Xiaoyu: Taxi! Taxi!
Kim: Taxi! We need a taxi here!
Kid: Yo! Taxi!
Malon: Taxi!
Four taxis eventually pull over, and Xiaoyu & Miharu end up in the lead.
Xiaoyu: We need to get to Green Forest.
Driver: Yes, ma'am.
Miharu: (looks back) The others are right on our tails, Xiao.
Xiaoyu: Don't worry. We'll beat them there.
(KID & ALLY)
Ally: There's a forest around here, right?
Driver: That's right.
Kid: Great! Could you take us there?
(TALON & MALON)
Malon: We need to go to Green Forest, so could you follow those other teams, please?
Driver: Sure thing.
Talon: (notices Kid & Ally up ahead, making a turn) Where in tarnation are those two going?
Malon: I have no idea, dad. Maybe their cab's low on gas.
Talon: Could be.
(KIM & RON)
Ron: (to the camera) Okay. We're all currently racing towards Green Forest, and we've got about half an hour on the next set of teams.
Kim: Hopefully, we can make it to the clue before they land.
Eventually, the first teams arrive at Green Forest. However, Kid & Ally are nowhere to be seen. The others jump out of their taxis and run over to the clue box.
(XIAOYU & MIHARU – First at Clue 1)
(TALON & MALON – Second at Clue 1)
(KIM & RON – Third at Clue 1)
Xiaoyu: (rip) Take a taxi to Pumpkin Hill.
Mr. Jowai: (voiceover) Teams must now take their taxis to Pumpkin Hill, a place where Knuckles the Echidna went through on an adventure. Once there, they must climb to the top of the mountain to find their next clue.
Miharu: Man. I was hoping we'd be able to go into the forest.
Xiaoyu: Maybe we can come back during the break at the end of the leg. Let's go!
Malon: (rip) Let's move, dad! We're back on top!
Talon: Right! We don't wanna lose our lead!
Ron: (rip) Okay, KP! Let's get going!
Kim: I wonder where Kid & Ally got to…
(Flight 2 – Landing)
Jolene & Mush use their size to their advantage, slipping under the crowds easily. Shaggy & Velma follow, trying hard not to push their way through the crowd. Geese, Krauser, Tiny and Dingodile follow behind, looking like they're fighting to stay ahead of each other.
The two mushrooms race out of the airport and rush into the streets to hail a taxi. By the time everyone else gets out, Jolene & Mush are already getting into a taxi and driving off.
Shaggy: Like, taxi!
Dingodile: Oi! Taxi!
Geese: We need a taxi over here!
Krauser: Da!
The three teams end up driving off in taxis, Shaggy & Velma in the lead.
(KID & ALLY)
Driver: We're approaching White Forest now.
Kid, Ally: …WHAT!
Ally: White Forest! We needed to go to Green Forest!
Driver: Oh. Sorry, but you just said 'forest', so I assumed you wanted to go to the closest one.
Kid: Just take us to Green Forest! We're probably falling behind now!
(JOLENE & MUSH)
Jolene: (looks back) This is pretty good. The others are pretty far behind us.
Mush: (chuckles) One of few times where our short size comes in handy. We were able to squeeze through the crowd at the airport easily.
Jolene: You can say that again.
(SHAGGY & VELMA)
Velma: There's Jolene & Mush way out there.
Shaggy: Like, I didn't even see them in the airport.
Velma: Of course not. They're so short that they became hidden in the crowd. That probably explains how they got out of the airport so fast as well.
Shaggy: Like, hopefully we'll be able to catch up here.
(GEESE & KRAUSER)
Geese: This is freaking ridiculous. Not only are those two SHROOMS beating us, but we're actually struggling to stay ahead of the bumblers!
Krauser: (watches as Tiny & Dingodile pass them) Uh…Geese…
Geese notices the taxi passing them and lets out an aggravated scream.
(TINY & DINGODILE)
Dingodile: Yes! We passed 'em! (to the driver) You rock, mate!
Tiny: Dingodile, blonde man in funny pants is screaming.
Dingodile: Probably mad that we're beating 'em. Heh. Serves 'em right.
(TALON & MALON)
Malon: (to the driver) You know where Pumpkin Hill is, right?
Driver: Sure do. The only problem you guys have is that it's only open at night.
Talon: …Wait. What?
Driver: The ghosts of Pumpkin Hill sleep during the day, so the people open it during the night.
Malon: Great. This probably means that our lead is gonna be gone in no time.
(GREEN FOREST)
Jolene & Mush pull up to the clue box just outside of Green Forest and get out of their taxi. They rush over to the clue box and take out an envelope.
(JOLENE & MUSH – Fourth at Clue 1)
Jolene: (rip) Take your taxi to Pumpkin Hill.
Mush: Let's get going, sis!
The two siblings jump back into their taxi and drive off. Not long after they do, Shaggy & Velma show up. The two detectives quickly grab a clue.
(SHAGGY & VELMA – Fifth at Clue 1)
Velma: (rip) We're going to Pumpkin Hill, Shag! Let's go!
Shaggy: Like, you got it, Velm! We'd better hurry because I like, think I see the other teams coming!
The two 'friends' jump back into their taxi and drive off. The next two teams arrive at almost the same time and grab a pair of clues.
(TINY & DINGODILE – Sixth at Clue 1)
(GEESE & KRAUSER – Seventh at Clue 1)
Dingodile: (rip) Let's get goin', Tiny!
Geese: (rip) Back in the taxi, Krauser!
Krauser: (looks at his watch) Ve are losingk our lead, Geese! Zee others teams are landingk by now!
(Flight 3 – Landing)
Raven & Beast Boy are out of the airport first, with Dan, Mika, Paula and Jewel hot on their heels. Garfield & Arlene are (as usual) bringing up the rear. The four teams rush out into the streets to hail some taxis.
Beast Boy: Taxi!
Paula: Taxi! Over here!
Dan: (rushes into the path of a taxi to get it to stop) Taxi! Stop!
Arlene: (on Garfield's shouders) Taxi!
Eventually, four taxis pull up, allowing the final four teams t drive off.
(PUMPKIN HILL)
The first three teams arrive at Pumpkin Hill at almost the same time, and most are surprised to see the gates locked.
Kim: What gives? The gates are locked!
Malon: (pays their driver) Pumpkin Hill is only open during the night.
Miharu: Well, when does it open? (goes over to the gates and checks the times) Five thirty.
Ron: That's not that bad. We'll be ahead of at least four teams then.
Kim: (looks down the road) I still wonder where the heck Kid & Ally are…
(GREEN FOREST)
Ally: There's the clue box!
Kid: Stop the cap, man!
The two siblings get out of their car and rush over to the clue box.
(KID & ALLY – Eighth at Clue 1)
Ally: Yeesh. Look at this, bro. We've fallen behind four slots.
Kid: Well, at least we're not last. (rip) Let's go, Ally!
Ally: Right!
(5:29)
The three teams waiting outside of the gates to Pumpkin Hill stand waiting, some nervously looking back to see if anyone else is coming.
Suddenly, a lone taxi drives into view, off in the distance. The mystery team racers towards the gates, hoping to get there before it opens.
Just before the taxi arrives, the gates to Pumpkin Hill open. The first three teams rush inside, although Ron is still limping behind. The mystery team gets out of the taxi and pays their driver.
Jolene: The others just went in there!
Mush: We've caught up, sis! Let's go!
Meanwhile, the others run through Pumpkin Hill, passing by several graves and a large amount of smiling ghosts.
Kim: Man. Shaggy's really gonna LOVE this place.
Xiaoyu: Where the heck is the clue box?
Talon: The clue said the top of the mountain, so my guess is that we're going fer the highest point here.
Miharu: That would be over there! Come on, Xiao!
(GREEN FOREST)
The final four teams arrive at the forest within five minutes of each other. They get out of their taxis and grab the clues.
(RAVEN & BEAST BOY – Ninth at Clue 1)
(PAULA & JEWEL – Tenth at Clue 1)
(DAN & MIKA – Eleventh at Clue 1)
(GARFIELD & ARLENE – Last at Clue 1)
Raven: (rip) Take your taxis to Pumpkin Hill.
Jewel: (rip) Once there you must climb the mountain.
Dan: (rip) You'll find the next clue at the top.
Garfield: (rip) Uh…Last one.
Arlene: Not for long! Back into the taxi!
(PUMPKIN HILL)
The next three teams arrive at the gates to Pumpkin Hill. They jump out, pay their respective drivers and race through the gates.
Everything goes normally until Shaggy looks to his right and sees a small smiling ghost staring at him. The ghost waves a couple of times. Shaggy's eye starts to twitch.
Tiny: (looks around) This place very creepy, Dingodile.
Dingodile: Ah know, Tiny.
Tiny: (timid, quiet voice) Tiny scared. Tiny want to run.
Dingodile: No. Just stick together, Tiny.
Suddenly, Shaggy flies past the two giants, screaming like a banshee and waving his arms in the air. He tears up the mountain at record speeds.
Velma: Shaggy! Wait for me!
Dingodile: … (looks at Tiny) On second thought, go ahead.
Tiny instantly runs after Shaggy, also screaming his head off and waving his arms in the air.
At the top of the mountain, the first three teams quickly see the clue box sitting close to the edge. They race over to the box, although Ron and Talon are starting to tire.
(TALON & MALON – First at Split Track)
(KIM & RON – Second at Split Track)
(XIAOYU & MIHARU – Third at Split Track)
Malon: Come on, dad! Run faster!
Kim: (rip) A Split Track!
Before the race continues, we see Mr. Jowai walking along on top of the cliff.
Mr. Jowai: A Split Track is a choice between two tasks, each with its own pros and cons. In this Split Track, teams must chose the speed on how to get down the mountain: 'Fast' or 'Slow'. In Fast, teams must do a bungee jump off the cliff together to get to the bottom of the mountain. It's a potentially frightening task and it can be done quickly, but teams in the back of the waiting line will have to wait their turn. In Slow, teams must run down this winding path leading to the bottom of the cliff. The task isn't scary and teams can go at their own pace, but taking the long hike down the cliff could take a while.
Kim: You up for a bungee jump, Ron?
Ron: No sweat, KP! My leg's feeling well enough!
Miharu: (rip) A bungee jump! Alright!
Xiaoyu: Yeah! We're SO doing that!
Malon: (rip) Looks like we'll have to run down the cliff. You probably won't be able to handle the bungee jump, dad.
Talon: Well, if you say so, Malon.
The teams rush off to complete their tasks. Kim, Ron, Xiaoyu and Miharu run over to a small station to get suited up while Talon & Malon start running down the path leading into the cavern.
Shortly after they do, Jolene & Mush reach the top of the mountain. They quickly grab a clue.
(JOLENE & MUSH – Fourth at Split Track)
Jolene: (rip) Another Split Track.
Mush: Oh, man. A bungee jump. You think you're up for it, sis?
Jolene: If it'll put us ahead, then definitely.
Just as the two siblings rush off, a screaming Shaggy flies into view and latches onto the post of the clue box shaking like a leaf.
Shaggy: (to himself) Like, think happy thoughts. Think happy thoughts. Think happy thoughts.
Tiny suddenly flies into view as well and also latches onto the clue box post, smothering Shaggy.
(RAVEN & BEAST BOY)
Beast Boy: (looking at the map) We should be arriving at Pumpkin Hill pretty soon.
Raven: Good. If the other teams got held up, we may have a chance to catch up here.
(PAULA & JEWEL)
Jewel: I sense a challenging task coming up, Paula.
Paula: You're probably right, Jewel. We haven't done anything challenging yet.
Jewel: You think we can catch up here?
Paula: If it's a Split Track, and we choose the quicker challenge, then yes. This could be our chance.
(GARFIELD & ARLENE)
Garfield: (reading the clue) Looks like we're climbing a mountain, Arlene. You think you can manage it?
Arlene: I can try. If we don't, we'll be last.
(DAN & MIKA)
Mika: (looks back) This isn't good, Dan. The only ones behind us are Garfield & Arlene.
Dan: Hopefully, we'll be able to catch up and stay in the race.
(PUMPKIN HILL)
Kid & Ally arrive at the gates to Pumpkin Hill. The siblings quickly pay their driver and rush inside.
Meanwhile, at the Split Track, Kim & Ron are about to do the bungee jump while Xiaoyu & Miharu and Jolene & Mush wait impatiently for their turn.
Instructor: Ready?
Kim: You bet!
Instructor: Okay! 3…2…1…Now!
Following their instructions, Kim & Ron leap off the platform. The two heroes let out excited shouts as they plummet into the canyon.
As soon as Kim & Ron jump off, the next three teams arrive. Velma and Dingodile have to pry their partners from the clue box post, giving Geese & Krauser the opportunity to get the clue first.
(GEESE & KRAUSER – Fifth at Split Track)
Geese: (rip) There's going to be a line in front of us, Krauser. Let's run down the mountain.
Krauser: Okay! Ve do dat!
(SHAGGY & VELMA – Sixth at Split Track)
(TINY & DINGODILE – Seventh at Split Track)
Velma: (rip) What do you think we should do, Shag?
Shaggy: If it'll get us out of here quicker, I like, say the bungee jump! (pulls Velma over to the platform)
Tiny: (rip) Tiny with skinny man with hairy face, Dingodile! (pulls Dingodile over to the platform)
Running down the mountain, Talon & Malon pause to look up and see Kim & Ron leap off the platform.
Malon: We'd better pick up the pace, dad! I see some more teams up there!
Talon: I'll try, dearie! There's only so much I can do when I'm this overweight!
Kim & Ron reach the bottom of the canyon and get unhooked from the bungee cord. Once they're free, they're handed the next clue.
(KIM & RON – First at Clue 2)
Kim: (rip) Take a marked car to Twinkle Park.
Mr. Jowai: (voiceover) Teams must now take one of the marked cars parked at the bottom of the canyon and drive themselves to Station Square. Once there, they must search out Twinkle Park, where teams will have to pay to get in. Once inside, teams will find their next clue at the racecourse.
Kim: Let's get going, Ron!
Ron: Coming, KP! You go ahead and pick out a car!
As Kim runs ahead, Ron limps behind as fast as he can, taking twice as long to get to the cars. Once both heroes are inside the car, Kim drives them away.
At the top of the mountain, Xiaoyu & Miharu leap off the platform as well. The two schoolgirls fall towards the ground at high speeds several times before they come to a stop. The girls are unhooked from the bungee cord and receive the clue as well.
(XIAOYU & MIHARU – Second at Clue 2)
Xiaoyu: (rip) Twinkle Park! No way!
Miharu: Alright! This'll be awesome! Let's go!
The two friends run over to the remaining marked cars, choose one and drive off in it.
At the top, Jolene & Mush are getting ready to leap off the platform as the others wait their turn. As they do, Kid & Ally reach the top of the mountain and grab a clue as well.
(KID & ALLY – Eighth at Split Track)
Kid: (rip) Another Split Track, sis.
Ally: If we're to catch up, we need to do the bungee.
Kid: No argument here, Ally. Let's do it!
As Kid & Ally get suited up, Jolene & Mush perform their jump.
Jolene: GERONIMO!
Mush: I AM ERROR!
The two siblings perform the task easily and quickly reach the bottom of the canyon. The two mushrooms are unhooked from the bungee cable and receive the clue.
(JOLENE & MUSH – Third at Clue 2)
Mush: (rip) Drive yourselves to Twinkle Park.
Jolene: Let's get going, bro!
The two mushrooms run over to the marked cars waiting for them and jump into one, driving off in it.
Meanwhile…
Malon: Come on, dad! We're almost at the bottom!
Talon: Don't worry, Malon! I'm running as fast as I can!
At the bungee platform, it is now Shaggy & Velma's turn to jump. The two detectives nervously approach the edge of the platform.
Velma: You ready for this, Shaggy?
Shaggy: Like, no way.
Velma: Me neither.
Instructor: Ready? 3…2…1…Now!
The two detectives almost reluctantly jump off the edge, both of them screaming in terror as they race towards the ground. They eventually stop moving altogether, but both Shaggy & Velma still have their eyes closed and are clutching each other in fear.
Velma: …Are we dead?
The two are suddenly unhooked from the bungee cord. Shaggy & Velma land on their backs and Shaggy is given the clue while he's laying flat.
(SHAGGY & VELMA – Fourth at Clue 2)
Shaggy: Like, thanks. (rip) Drives yourselves to Twinkle Park.
Velma: (gets up and hauls Shaggy to his feet) Let's go, Shaggy.
Shaggy: (running off) Man. First Creepy Castle and now this. I swear that whoever's in charge is like, trying to scare me to death.
As the two detectives run off, Talon & Malon finally arrive at the bottom of the mountain. A race official hands the two their clue once they get to the bottom.
(TALON & MALON – Fifth at Clue 2)
Malon: (rip) Drive to Twinkle Park.
Talon: Let's go, Malon! Maybe we can catch up to the detectives!
At the top of the bungee platform, the first of the final four teams arrive at the clue box after the climb up the mountain.
(PAULA & JEWEL – Ninth at Split Track)
Paula: (rip) A Split Track. You think we should bungee, Jewel.
Jewel: Quicker task means we can catch up. I say we do it.
As the girls run off. Dan, Mika and Garfield arrive at the top of the mountain.
Garfield: (calling down) Come on, Arlene! You're almost there!
(DAN & MIKA – Tenth at Split Track)
Mika: (rip) We're behind, Dan. If we're to have any chance of catching up, we need to do the bungee jump.
Dan: (gulp) Well…Alright.
As Dan & Mika join the line. Raven & Beast Boy arrive at the top of the mountain. As Garfield still waits for Arlene to arrive, the two Titans run over to the clue box.
(RAVEN & BEAST BOY – Eleventh at Split Track)
Raven: (rip) Everyone seems to be lining up for the bungee jump, Beast Boy. I say we run down the mountain.
Beast Boy: Right, Raven. Let's go!
By now, Arlene has come within arm's reach of Garfield. The orange tabby pulls his exhausted girlfriend up the rest of the way, then runs over to the box to get the clue.
(GARFIELD & ARLENE – Last at Split Track)
Garfield: (rip) There's no way in heck you'd be able to survive running down the mountain, Arlene.
Arlene: (panting) (nods) Right…Let's…Do the bungee jump.
(KIM & RON)
Ron: (reading a map) Okay. This is gonna be easy. Twinkle Park is one of the biggest attractions in Station Square, and it's by the ocean.
Kim: (nods) Perfect. We'll spot it easily once we get there.
Ron: (looks back) We've got a couple of teams behind us though, KP. You may wanna pick up the pace a bit.
Kim: On it.
(XIAOYU & MIHARU)
Miharu: Drat. They spotted us.
Xiaoyu: Don't lose them, Miharu!
(SPLIT TRACK)
Instructor: 3…2…1…Now!
Tiny & Dingodile bravely jump off the platform, screaming in excitement as they complete their bungee jump. Once they reach the bottom, the two giants are unhooked from the cable and are given the next clue.
(TINY & DINGODILE – Sixth at Clue 2)
Dingodile: Thanks, mate! (rip) Let's get goin, buddy!
Tiny: Okay! Tiny get in car!
After Tiny & Dingodile get in their car and drive off, Kid & Ally leap off the platform and perform the bungee jump as well.The two siblings quickly reach the bottom of the canyon, and once they finally stop moving, they are unhooked and given their clue.
(KID & ALLY – Seventh at Clue 2)
Kid: (rip) Drive yourselves to Twinkle Park.
Ally: Let's go, bro! Maybe we can catch Tiny & Dingodile!
As the two boxers run off, Geese & Krauser arrive at the bottom of the pathway. Geese doesn't look very pleased.
(GEESE & KRAUSER – Eighth at Clue 2)
Geese: I can't BELIEVE how degrading this is! We're behind the bumblers!
Krauser: Don't vorry, Geese! Ve vill catch zem! (rip) Let us be goingk now!
(TWINKLE PARK)
A quick drive through Station Square was all it took for Kim & Ron to find Twinkle Park. After finding it, the two park their car, jump out and race over to the counter.
Kim: We'd like to go inside.
Woman: Okay. That'd be twenty bucks each.
Ron: Ouch. (forks over the money) And we're only gonna be here for a little bit.
Kim: I know. Well, let's go find the clue.
After Kim & Ron walk inside and step on an unusual-looking elevator. During their trek to the top of the tunnel, they see the next team arriving and parking their car. The two racers run over to the counter.
Xiaoyu: We'd like to get inside, please.
Woman: Sure. It's twenty dollars for each of you.
Miharu: A little steep, but okay.
(SPLIT TRACK)
Paula & Jewel show that they're braver than they look, as they don't even flinch as they jump off the bungee platform. The two girls scream in excitement as they fall. They quickly reach the bottom of the canyon and are unhooked. Once the girls are on their feet again, they are given the next clue.
(PAULA & JEWEL – Ninth at Clue 2)
Jewel: (rip) Let's go, Paula! Hopefully, we can catch up!
At the top of the platform, Dan & Mika are getting ready to jump. Dan slowly approaches the edge and looks down. He gulps and slowly backs away.
Dan: Man. I-I REALLY hate heights.
Dan: (voiceover) One thing I never really told anyone before was about a fear of heights I've had since I was a kid. I guess some things just really don't go away as you get older, because when I looked down the cavern, I really started feeling uneasy.
Mika: Come on, Dan! It's not that bad! All you need to do is jump!
Dan: Well…Okay. If you say so, Mika.
After another moment's hesitation from Dan, the two Street Fighters jump off the platform. Although Dan screams like a girl, the trip to the bottom of the canyon goes without any problems. The two are unhooked and given the next clue.
(DAN & MIKA – Tenth at Clue 2)
Mika: (rip) Twinkle Park. Let's go, Dan!
Dan: (wobbling after Mika) O-Okay, Mika. I'm c-coming…
Because Dan & Mika took so long to jump, Raven & Beast Boy manage to reach the bottom of the canyon before Garfield & Arlene do their bungee jump. The two Titans are given their clue.
(RAVEN & BEAST BOY – Eleventh at Clue 2)
Raven: (rip) Let's get going, Beast Boy.
Beast Boy: (looks up) We'd better hurry. Garfield & Arlene are about to jump.
The two run off to the two remaining cars as Garfield & Arlene leap off the platform. The two cats quickly reach the bottom of the canyon. After being unhooked, the clue is given to Garfield.
(GARFIELD & ARLENE – Last at Clue 2)
Garfield: (rip) Let's move, Arlene! We're in last place!
Arlene: Okay! I'll drive!
(TWINKLE PARK)
Mush: Look, sis! There's Twinkle Park!
Jolene: I see it, Mush! I'll park the car and we'll go in!
The two mushrooms park their car get out and rush over to the counter.
Jolene: We'd like to go in, please.
Woman: (looks down at the two) Sure. Go on in.
Mush: …Aren't you going to charge us?
Woman: No. The special we always have here is that cute couples get in free. So go ahead.
The two siblings look at each other in silence for a few seconds before taking advantage of this and rushing into Twinkle Park. Not long after the siblings vanish into the amusement park when Shaggy & Velma arrive. The two detectives run over to the counter to purchase tickets.
Shaggy: We'd like, like to get in, please.
Woman: Sure! And since you're such a cute couple, I'll let you in for free!
Velma: Uh…Thanks.
Shaggy & Velma run over to the elevator, both of their faces red.
(RACECOURSE)
Kim & Ron (followed closely by Xiaoyu & Miharu) run out onto a walkway leading to the racecourse, but freeze when they see that the whole track looks like it's suspended in space.
Kim: Wow! I never thought such a thing was possible!
Ron: Yeah! They actually made it look like space in here!
Xiaoyu: Man! This is awesome!
Miharu: You said it, Xiao! This is so cool!
Xiaoyu: DEFINITELY worth the twenty bucks!
The two teams rush over to the clue box sitting just off the track and pull out the first two clues.
(KIM & RON – First at Boss Battle)
(XIAOYU & MIHARU – Second at Boss Battle)
Ron: (rip) A Boss Battle.
Before the race continues, we see Mr. Jowai walking along the racetrack.
Mr. Jowai: A Boss Battle is a task only one person may perform, and the team may not proceed until the task is complete. In this Boss Battle, that racer must hop into one of these hovering bumper cars and navigate through the course in 50 seconds or less. This could be tough to do for the first few tries, but once the racer gets the hang of it, it'll become easier. Once the racer finishes the task, they'll receive the next clue. However, what teams don't know is that the heavier the racer is, the easier it'll be to steer the car.
Ron: Lemme do it, KP.
Kim: You sure, Ron? What about your leg?
Ron: Don't worry. The leg that got nailed wasn't the one I use to work the pedals.
Xiaoyu: (rip) You can do this one, Miharu.
Miharu: Are you sure you don't mind?
Xiaoyu: I'm fine. You let me do the Boss Battle at K3, so I guess this is my way of making it up to you.
Miharu: Thanks, Xiao!
Miharu runs out onto the track and jumps into a bright orange bumper car. By the time she starts moving, Ron (and his powder blue bumper car) have already taken off.
(GEESE & KRAUSER)
Krauser: You do good job, Geese! Ve pass boxers!
Geese: (driving) Thank you, Krauser. I consider myself a decent driver.
(KID & ALLY)
Ally: That guy's gotta be the worst driver I've ever seen!
Kid: Yeah! And he's cutting us off so we can't get by!
(RAVEN & BEAST BOY)
Beast Boy: (looks back) You're doing good, Rae! We're still ahead of Garfield & Arlene!
Raven: (eyes glow red) Don't call me Rae!
(TWINKLE PARK)
Talon & Malon show up. The father and daughter jump out of their car and rush over to the counter to get in.
Talon: Excuse us, miss, but we'd like to get in this here amusement park.
Woman: Sure. I'll just need twenty dollars for each of you.
Malon: Shouldn't be much of a problem. It's not like we've been spending that much of the money given to us anyway.
The father and daughter pay the woman and rush in, taking the elevator up.
(BOSS BATTLE)
Ron pulls up to the finish line and looks at the official. Miharu follows suit.
Ron: How'd I do?
Official: I'm afraid you need to try again.
Ron: No problem. (takes off again)
Kim: You can do it, Ron!
Miharu: I guess that means I have to try again as well?
Official: You'd be right, although your time was a little better.
Miharu: Okay. I can do this. (drives off)
As Ron and Miharu try a second lap around the track, Jolene & Mush show up. The two mushrooms run over to the clue box and take out a clue.
(JOLENE & MUSH – Third at Boss Battle)
Mush: (rip) I'll do this one, Jolene.
Jolene: (nods) Be careful.
As Mush jumps into a bumper car (a bright white one), Shaggy & Velma show up. They run over to the clue box and take out a clue.
(SHAGGY & VELMA – Fourth at Boss Battle)
Velma: (rip) It's a Boss Battle.
Shaggy: I'll do it, Velm. I'll pretend there's a big and scary ghost behind me!
The tall, lanky racer jumps into a lime green bumper car and takes off after Mush.
(TWINKLE PARK)
Geese & Krauser park their car and jump out. They rush over to the counter only to have Tiny & Dingodile beat them there.
Dingodile: Excuse us?
The woman at the counter looks up and her eyes become little hearts when she sees Tiny.
Woman: Ohhhhhh! Such a big kitty! (grabs Tiny's cheeks and starts playing with them) Are you a cute kitty? Yes, you are!
Tiny: Uh…Big kitty want to get into park with friend.
Woman: Oh, of course! You and your friend can go in for free!
Geese: WHAT!
Tiny: Gee! You a nice lady!
Dingodile: Yeah! Thanks, miss!
The two giants run into Twinkle Park and get on the elevator to go up. Once they do, Geese & Krauser approach the counter, the former looking extremely ticked off.
Geese: How come those two got in for free!
Woman: How could I say no to such a cute kitty? If you wanna get in, it'll cost ya twenty bucks each though.
Geese: (eye twitches for a few seconds) THAT DOES IT! RAGING-
Krauser: (chops Geese in the back of the neck, knocking him to the ground) Ve'll take two tickets, please.
(BOSS BATTLE)
As Ron gets sent on his way for a third lap, Talon & Malon show up. The two farmers run across the 'suspended' walkway and grab a clue.
(TALON & MALON – Fifth at Boss Battle)
Talon: (rip) Here, Malon. Let you ol' father take a whack at this.
Malon: You sure you can handle it, dad?
Talon: Just watch me, dearie.
Miharu pulls up to the finish line again as Talon runs onto the track and jumps into a red bumper car. The portly farmer drives off.
Miharu: Did I do it this time?
Official: Afraid not. You'll have to try again.
Miharu: (growls) This is getting frustrating. (drives off)
Not long after Miharu drives off, Shaggy zooms past the finish line. He screeches to a halt and looks at the official with a hopeful glare.
Shaggy: Like, how'd I do?
Official: Congratulations, because you beat the time by at least five seconds! Come out a get your clue!
Shaggy: YES!
Velma: (jumping up and down at the sidelines) Alright! Go Shaggy!
Shaggy: (rip) Run to the next Pitstop!
Before the race continues, we see Mr. Jowai walking along a pool at a hotel.
Mr. Jowai: Teams must now ditch their cars, because they have to run to the Station Square Hotel, where Sonic started one of his adventures. This hotel, one of the best you'll find in the city, is the Pitstop for this leg of the race. The last team to check in may be eliminated.
Shaggy runs back to Velma and the two run back down the walkway, leaving all of the other waiting racers staring at amazement.
While running back down the hallway leading to the elevator, Shaggy & Velma pass Tiny & Dingodile.
Dingodile: Oy! You guys finished the task already?
Shaggy: Like, don't worry! It looks a lot worse than it is!
Tiny: …Tiny no find that reassuring.
Dingodile: …Where did ya learn a big word like that, Tiny?
Tiny: Tiny read fanfics a lot.
Dingodile: …That explains a good amount.
The two giants run out onto the walkway and look around in awe.
Tiny: Wow! This most amazing thing Tiny ever seen!
Dingodile: Yeah! It's WAY better than anything that diminutive scientist created!
(CORTEX CASTLE)
Dr. Cortex: Ah-CHOO!
(TWINKLE PARK)
Ally: There! Twinkle Park!
Kid: Man! Look at all the cars! We've caught up!
Ally: That can only mean that the Boss Battle's ahead if everyone's still here.
The two boxers jump out of their car and rush over to the counter.
Kid: We'd like to go in, please.
Woman: Sure. That'll be twenty bucks each.
Ally: (hands over some money) That's pretty steep for just one clue.
(BOSS BATTLE)
(TINY & DINGODILE – Sixth at Boss Battle)
Dingodile: (rip) Ah'd better do this, Tiny. It involves driving.
Tiny: You do good then, Dingodile! You do very good!
Dingodile runs onto the track and drives off in a brown bumper car as Mush pulls up.
Mush: Did I do it?
Official: You missed the time by about three seconds. I'm sorry, but you'll have to try again.
Mush: (nods) Okay. This shouldn't take too long.
Geese & Krauser run onto the walkway, Geese rubbing the back of his head.
Geese: What the heck did you clobber me for, Krauser?
Krauser: You vere about to perform super move on the lady at da counter. I stop you.
(GEESE & KRAUSER – Seventh at Boss Battle)
Geese: (rip) You do it, Krauser. There's no way I'm stooping to driving a bumper car.
Krauser: (shrugs) Okay.
The tall German runs onto the racetrack, gets into a manly, bright purple car and drives off in it. As he does, Talon pulls up to the finish line.
Talon: How'd I do, sonny?
Official: You passed it! Congrats! Come get your clue!
Talon: Will do! (jumps out of his bumper car)
Malon: Way to go, dad! You nailed it! (runs over to her father)
Talon: (rip) Malon, we're going to the Pitstop!
Malon: Let's go! Maybe we can catch Shaggy & Velma!
Kim: (voiceover) A lot of us were surprised when Shaggy and Talon finished the Boss Battle so quickly. This was mainly a put-down for the rest of us because that meant we were no longer in the lead.
(SHAGGY & VELMA)
The two detectives run out into the streets and look around.
Velma: (re-reading the clue) We probably shouldn't drive, Shaggy. The clue says to run to the next Pitstop.
Shaggy: Then let's like, ask around and find someone that knows where the hotel is!
As Shaggy & Velma run off, Paula & Jewel show up at Twinkle Park's entrance with Dan & Mika hot on their heels. The two teams rush towards the counter.
Paula: Can we go in, please?
Woman: Yes, but only if you pay twenty bucks each.
Jewel: Ouch.
Dan: Well, at least we're in.
(BOSS BATTLE)
Ron pulls up to the finish line again and looks at the official for what must be the fifth time.
Ron: Please tell me I did it this time!
Official: Don't worry. You did. You can come get the clue.
Ron gets out of the bumper car and limps over to the official, getting his clue. He then goes back over to Kim and opens the envelope.
Ron: (rip) Let's move, KP! This is the Pitstop!
Kim: But it says we need to run. Are you sure your leg is going to be fine.
Ron: Positive! Let's go!
After the two teen heroes leave the area, Miharu pulls up again, finishing her fifth attempt as well.
Official: You were extremely lucky. Any longer and you would have gone over. You can come over here to get the clue.
Miharu excitedly runs over to the official and grabs the clue. She then runs over to Xiaoyu and rips it open.
Miharu: (rip) Let's go, Xiao! With any luck, we can beat Kim & Ron to the Pitstop!
On their way out, the girls end up passing Kid & Ally. The boxers quickly run over to the clue box.
(KID & ALLY – Eighth at Boss Battle)
Kid: (rip) It's another Boss Battle.
Ally: I'll do it, bro. Just gimmie a sec.
Handing her hat and necklace to Kid so she won't lose them, Ally, with long, red hair flowing past her shoulders, jumps into the red bumper car previously occupied by Talon. Ally takes off.
(SHAGGY & VELMA)
Velma: Excuse me, but would you happen to know where the Station Square Hotel is?
Man: Yeah. Just down the street apiece. Keep bearing to the right and ya can't miss it.
Shaggy: Like, thanks man!
(TALON & MALON)
Malon: We know the main way to the hotel here, but do you know if there's a quicker way to get there?
Woman: Actually, yes. Here. I'll take you.
Talon: You will? Thanks a bunch!
(XIAOYU & MIHARU)
Miharu: Do you know where the hotel is, by any chance?
Man: Uh…I don't think so. I'm a tourist myself.
Xiaoyu: Well, THIS stinks.
Miharu: We'll find a way there, Xiao! Don't worry!
(KIM & RON)
Kim: How's your leg holding up, Ron?
Ron: It's doing great, KP!
Kim: Well, the leg's almost over. I think see the hotel!
(PITSTOP)
Mr. Jowai stands on the race mat, which is sitting on the back deck, right beside the pool of the hotel. At his side is the famous speedster, Sonic the Hedgehog. Mr. Jowai points in the direction the teams will be coming from, which is the doors to the hotel. Suddenly, the two hear people rushing through the hotel. They then see the silhouettes of two racers approaching the doors, although we can't tell who it is.
The doors swoosh open and Shaggy & Velma run onto the deck, across the pool and finally jump onto the Pitstop.
Sonic: Welcome to Station Square!
Velma: Thanks.
Shaggy: Like, you're extremely hard to find, Mr. Jowai.
Mr. Jowai: Shaggy & Velma………You are team number one!
(SHAGGY & VELMA – First Place)
Velma: YES!
Shaggy: Like, alright! Back on top!
(BOSS BATTLE)
Mush quickly stops once he arrives at the finish line. He looks at the official with hope.
Mush: Did I do it this time?
Official: That you did! You're clue is right here.
Mush: Great! (jumps out of the car and rushes over to take the clue) Jolene! I got the clue!
Jolene: That's great, Mush!
Mush: (rip) And we're heading to the Pitstop! Let's go!
As Jolene & Mush run off, Dingodile shows up at the finish line.
Dingodile: How'd Ah do, mate?
Official: I'm afraid you missed it. You'll have to do it again.
Dingodile: (nods) Okay. Ah'm off.
Shortly after Dingodile drives off, Krauser shows up as well. The purple-haired man looks at the official.
Krauser: How'd I do, comrade?
Official: You'll have to do it again, I'm afraid.
Krauser: Drat. Vell, okay. I go.
As Krauser starts driving off to make another attempt, the next two teams arrive at almost the same time. The quickly take two clues out of the box.
(DAN & MIKA – Ninth at Boss Battle)

Dan: (rip) A Boss Battle.

Talon: Finally! We're out of the back of the pack!
Malon: Yeah! This is great!
(TWINKLE PARK)
Raven & Beast Boy pull up to Twinkle Park, get out of their car and run over to the counter.
Raven: We need to get into the park, please.
Woman: Sure. That'll be twenty dollars each.
Beast Boy: No problem. (hands over the money)
As Raven & Beast Boy arrive at the elevator and take their trip upwards, Garfield & Arlene pull up. The two cats run over to the counter.
Arlene: We'd like to go in, please.
Woman: (looks over the counter and her eyes become hearts again) Ooooh! Such adorable kitties! (scoops up both racers and gives them a hug at the same time) I just wanna hug you and snuggle you and-
Garfield: Uh…We can go in, right?
Woman: Oh, yes! Of course! Go right in!
Arlene: Uh…Thanks.
The two cats quickly run into the building and take the elevator up.
Garfield: What a crazy woman.
Arlene: You said it.
(PITSTOP)
Because of Ron's injury slowing him down, Xiaoyu & Miharu arrive at the Pitstop before them. The two girls run across the deck and check into the Pitstop.
Mr. Jowai: Xiaoyu & Miharu………You're team number three!
(XIAOYU & MIHARU – Third Place)
Xiaoyu: Finally! We're back on top!
Miharu: Yes! Now we can do the next leg easier!
(BOSS BATTLE)
Jewel pulls up to the finish line and looks at the official with hope.
Jewel: Did I do it?
Official: You sure did. You can come get the next clue.
Jewel: Really! Great! (gets out of the car and runs across the track to grab the clue, Ally narrowly missing her as she pulls up as well)
Ally: Did I do it as well?
Official: (looks at the clock) Yes, but only barely. You can come get the clue, though.
Ally: (whew) That's a relief.
As Ally gets the clue from the official, Jewel is already back over at Paula, opening the envelope.
Jewel: (rip) The Pitstop!
Paula: Looks like we're running, Jewel. Let's go.
As the girls run off, Ally runs over to her brother.

(GARFIELD & ARLENE – Last at Boss Battle)
Garfield: Last one. (rip) A Boss Battle.
Arlene: Looks like we'd be driving those bumper cars. I'll do it.

(BOSS BATTLE)
Beast Boy pulls up to the finish line and looks up at the official expectantly.
Official: I'm sorry, but you'll have to try again.
Beast Boy: Man. I must've only missed it by a couple of seconds
As Beast Boy drives off again, Arlene pulls up, but she has an idea on how well she did.
Arlene: I have to do it again, right?
Official: Afraid so.
Arlene: Okay. I've gotta try harder if Garfield and I are gonna stay in.
Garfield: Keep going, Arlene! You're doing great!
(PITSTOP)
The next two teams end up entering the hotel at the same time. They look around for the Pitstop.
Kid: Where's the Pitstop?
Jewel: I don't know. It should be around here somewhere.
Paula: Wait! I see it! (grabs Jewel by the arm and pulls her through the doors)
Kid & Ally see this all to late, because by the time they see the Pitstop, Paula & Jewel are already there. The two siblings start walking over.
Mr. Jowai: Paula & Jewel………You're team number six!
(PAULA & JEWEL – Sixth Place)
Paula: (nods) Still pretty decent.
Jewel: Yeah. We got extremely lucky.
Mr. Jowai: Guys, you can check in now.
Paula & Jewel step off the mat and allow Kid & Ally to step on.
Mr. Jowai: Kid & Ally, you're team number seven.
(KID & ALLY – Seventh Place)
Ally: Hey. It's better than we thought we would get.
Kid: Yeah. Especially after our cab driver made a wrong turn.
(BOSS BATTLE)
Dingodile slides to a stop at the finish line again.
Official: Congrats, because you completed the task this time.
Dingodile: (whew) Finally. (gets out of the car and goes over to take a clue, then runs back to Tiny)
Tiny: Dingodile do good!
Dingodile: Thanks, pal. (rip) C'mon, Tiny! We're going to the Pitstop!
Tiny: Oh, goody!
The two giants run off as Krauser pulls up.
Geese: You had better have completed it this time, Krauser!
Official: Don't worry. He did.
Krauser: Ah! Good!
The purple-haired man receives a clue and runs over to Geese again.
Krauser: (rip) Ve are goingk to the Peetstop, Geese!
Geese: Okay. With any luck, we'll beat the two giants there.
Not long after the two men run off, Beast Boy pulls up again.
Beast Boy: I did it this time, right?
Official: That you did. You can come get the clue now.
Beast Boy: Alright! (jumps out and receives the clue)
Raven: Beast Boy, hurry! Arlene is coming!
Beast Boy: (rip) We're going to the Pitstop, Raven! Let's go!
Arlene pulls up as Raven & Beast Boy fly out of the room. The pink cat looks at the official nervously.
Arlene: If I didn't do this, Garfield and I are toast!
Official: Don't worry. You did it.
Arlene: Thank goodness. (gets out of the car, takes the clue and goes back over to Garfield.
Garfield: You did good, Arlene.
Arlene: If we're eliminated, I don't think I'll agree with that. (rip) Let's go, Garfield!
(PITSTOP)
Dan & Mika run across the hotel deck and arrive at the Pitstop, both of them short on breath.
Mr. Jowai: Dan & Mika………You're team number eight!
(DAN & MIKA – Eighth Place)
Dan: (whew) That was pretty rough.
Mika: We've done well so far, Dan. Let's try and improve for the next leg.
(GEESE & KRAUSER)
Krauser: Ve are needingk to get to hotel. Do you happen to know thee directions?
Man: Excuse me?
Krauser: Ve need to go to zee hotel.
Man: What?
Geese: The hotel, you idiot! We need to get to the freaking hotel!
Man: Oh. Just down the road a bit. You can't miss it.
(RAVEN & BEAST BOY)
Beast Boy: Hey, Raven! I think I can see the hotel from here!
Raven: Let's go, then.
(TINY & DINGODILE)
Dingodile: There's the hotel!
Tiny: We coming, Mr. Jowai!
(GARFIELD & ARLENE)
Garfield: Come on, Arlene! We're almost there!
Arlene: I sure hope we can get there soon! I'm…Running…Out of…Stamina again.
(PITSTOP)
Hearing footsteps again, Mr. Jowai and Sonic look at the hotel doors as they open, allowing the next safe team entry.
Tiny & Dingodile race onto the deck, grinning happily. The two friends check in.
Mr. Jowai: Tiny & Dingodile………You're team number nine!
(TINY & DINGODILE – Ninth Place)
Tiny: YAY! (wraps his arms around Dingodile in a bear hug)
Voice: You've gotta be freaking kidding me…
Everyone looks in the direction of the voice and sees Geese & Krauser walking onto the deck, the former not looking very thrilled. Tiny & Dingodile step off the mat, allowing them to get on.
Mr. Jowai: Geese & Krauser, you're team number ten.
(GEESE & KRAUSER – Tenth Place)
Geese: (sighs) I'll take it…This time.
Mr. Jowai and Sonic wait for the final safe team to arrive. They suddenly hear footsteps coming from inside the hotel, approaching the doorway. The door opens.
Revealing nothing.
The camera quickly pans down to watch as Garfield & Arlene walk across the deck and step onto the mat.
Mr. Jowai: Garfield & Arlene………You are team number eleven!
(GARFIELD & ARLENE – Eleventh Place)
Arlene: Are you kidding me!
Mr. Jowai: No. You guys are still in the race.
Garfield: I don't know how we managed to do it, but we still did it.
Arlene: Yeah! Hopefully, we can catch up in the next leg!
Sad music plays as Raven & Beast Boy run across the deck and check into the Pitstop.
Mr. Jowai: Raven & Beast Boy………(sigh) You're the last team to arrive.
Beast Boy: Gee. The surprise of the century.
Mr. Jowai: I'm sorry to tell you that you've both been eliminated from the race.
(RAVEN & BEAST BOY – ELIMINATED)
We see Raven & Beast Boy talking to the camera later that night.
Raven: Am I upset that we're eliminated? No. While I must admit that this wasn't as boring as I thought it would be, I knew right from the start that Beast Boy and I wouldn't be the ones to win, even after coming in first back in Leg 1. There are just other teams in the race more determined than us, and I respect that.
Beast Boy: I'm totally bummed that we got eliminated this early. I was really hoping we'd last until at least sixth or seventh, but Raven and I just didn't try as hard as we could have, I guess. I really hope that the winner of this whole thing is someone real deserving of the prize, because I would really like to congratulate them when they do.
Raven: Beast Boy is annoying, but I guess that's what makes him Beast Boy. I honestly can't think of him any other way, but I must admit that I would really like to see him act his age once in a while. Other than that, I was glad to do this with him, because he was actually tolerable most of the time we were on the race.
Beast Boy: Hey, Raven's my friend. I always want to treat her like she can trust me, because there are times I really think she needs someone to comfort her. You can bet that I'll go back to doing that once we arrive back at the tower, that's for sure. I loved doing the race with her, because it was the most time I've ever spent with her, and I really loved every minute of it.
We see a slow-motion shot of Raven & Beast Boy turning their backs to the camera and leaving the Pitstop. As they walk beside the pool, Beast Boy attempts to wrap his arm around Raven's shoulders. Without looking, Raven pushes him into the pool with one arm, not even stopping her walk.
Mr. Jowai: (voiceover) On the next leg of the Amazing Race: VG Style…
We see Jolene & Mush driving a car when another team pulls up beside them and passes.
Mr. Jowai: (voiceover) A rivalry sparks between two teams.
Jolene: (watches as the other team cuts them off) So that's the way they wanna play, eh? Okay. They're asking for it.
We see Talon angrily pushing his way through a crowd of racers outside a building.
Mr. Jowai: (voiceover) And Talon explodes.
Talon: (points and accusing finger off the screen) Why did you freaking do it, ya varmint! ANSWER ME!
A slow-motion shot of Talon's firey gaze casting a dark look off the screen.
