A/N: Day 1 of 3 of boot camp! Which contestants have tough enough stuff to make it through?
Reviews:
G-Man 2.0: There will be an opportunity for readers to ask questions to eliminated contestants in the next aftermath. His thoughts will be something that I think will be questioned regardless before the fan/audience questions.
1602jaw: Yeah, that's what I'm trying not to have. Avoiding characters from having too much screen time. Even if its one episode before a character gets eliminated, everyone(even fodder) deserves some type of time to be in a decent part of an episode. Otherwise we'd get some unjustified eliminations. Something else that I'm trying to avoid.

Fighting Lions: Fred Jones, Shaggy & Scooby, Daphne, Velma, Older Ben, Huey, Goku, Joey, Reimu, Ash, Misty, Richie, Virgil, Ed, Eddy, Dipper,Mabel(And Jerry), Raphael, Leshawna, Brandy, Rally, Ippo, Ruby Rose, Weiss Schnee and Blake Belladonna as a trio), Yang, Sam, Clover and Alex(The Spies Trio), Lindsay,Luz, Anne, Numbuh 3, 4 and 5(KND Trio), and Marty.

"Last time on Total Drama Island Multiverse Edition! It was mano-e-mano for the teams in the last challenge! It was a best of seven challenge composed of different games from different movie themes."
Footage of Rally and Hawkeye shooting at each other with hot sauce condiments and Daphne and Jack jousting were shown.
"It wasn't until the boxing match between Falcon and Ippo where things took a turn for the worst. A bit of smack talk turned way too personal, especially with Heather butting in. And it caused Falcon to be in a world of hurt. Way more than anyone would have liked. Like seriously, I'm not laughing here. Things could have really gotten bad if Joey, Raph and Fred didn't stop him."
Footage of Ippo relentlessly punching Falcon with his Dempsey Roll move and about to hit him with a liver blow before Joey, Raph and Fred stopped him. In the aftermath of it, Ippo went over to him, looking remorseful for what he did.
"But in other news, Falcon's rival was the one that was eliminated, after suffering a defeat from the other samurai, Jack. But not by votes. He quit. And it's safe to say that no one, myself included expected it. But regardless, that's the fifth member in a row that the Lions have lost."
Footage of Ryoma quitting and going into the lame-o-sine was seen.
"And things don't get easier from here. Today marks day one of three days of consecutive challenges in a row! Which contestants will be caught in the crossfire of these grueling challenges and get the boot next? Find out on this episode of Total…. Drama…. Island! Multiverse Edition!"
Begin TDI: MV(Action Version) Intro
Cameras were seen popping up in different places throughout the abandoned film lot.
"Dear Mom and Dad I'm doing fine."
A camera passes through the lot, going through Chris. It also went past Brandy and Clover, who were wearing red sparkling dresses. It also almost hit Dan Mandel and he was not happy, shaking his fist before it went to the prop thousand foot cliff before going down.
Owen, underwater, farted and it caused the shark to cough and descend.
"You guys are on my mind."
Up above a tightrope, Dan Hibiki was kicked off the rope by Izzy.
"You asked me what I wanted to be and now I think the answer is plain to see."
As Dan Hibki laid on the concrete ground in pain after missing the water that Owen was in, from a distance, Shaggy and Scooby were seen rolling along a cart of food, with one of them including pizza, Peter, in his Spider-Man outfit swung and grabbed a slice.
"I wanna be famous!"
As Mac, Bloo, and Kuki were building sand castles on a beach set, Vicky went out of her way to stomp on them, making Kuki cry. Wally saw what was happening and hit her with his S.L.U.G.G.U.H. She turned in anger, but he hit her in the face, knocking her out and some teeth along with it. Kuki hugged him, causing him to blush.
"I wanna live close to the sun. Well pack your bags 'cause I've already won.""
As Heather was doing her makeup in the confessional, she was suddenly scared by Leshawna and Luz who had fake snakes. After seeing her face they hurried back outside the trailer and laughed.
"Everything to prove nothing in my way, I'll get there one day."
In a boxing ring not too far where the two were laughing, Homer and Ippo were boxing. Homer threw a straight punch but Ippo dodged it easily and hit him with an uppercut and then a straight which knocked him out cold. Ippo, thinking that he overdid it went over to Homer to make sure he was okay.
"'Cause I wanna be famous!"
Frank snapped a picture of the fight as Ippo landed the blow to knock Homer down. But he was forced to duck Sokka's boomerang before he could take another.
"Na na na na na na na na na na na na na na!"
Ippo had to duck as well. Sokka shot Ed an upset look before being hit by said boomerang when it came back.
"I wanna be, I wanna be, I wanna be famous!"
Dax snuck up behind Ed and scared him, wearing a yeti head he found causing him to run around and yell, running over Chris and Chef and knocking down all of the gilded Chris awards he had in his hand hand, making Dax himself laugh, only for him to get trampled by Ed when he ran back.
"I wanna be, I wanna be, I wanna be famous!"
Marty and Vert raced past on skateboards to the Aftermath set, arriving just in time and sat with the others.
As the monitor of Chris smiling as he was about to read something was seen, now standing again, Ed ran into the aftermath set and tripped over the table, hitting the overhead monitor and causing it to sway before it showed static a couple of times and then the Total Drama Island: Multiverse Edition logo as it was still swaying.
End Intro
Today's Challenge Inspirations:
Genre: Boot Camp Movies
Movie/Game Trilogies
Idea of Challenge Suggested by: G-Man 2.0 on FF Dot net
Special Guests for Today's Episode:
Sam & Max(Sam & Max Freelance Police)A/N: The Telltale games versions are used here
Also did not know that the animated universe's Max and Falcon share the same VA Robert Tinkler. Probably didn't know because they sound wildly different as Falcon's voice is literally just the Gingka voice from Beyblade. Although I like all three, his Helios performance in Bakugan is still my favorite. One of the main reasons why he's still my favorite bakugan from the show.
Also, one of the things they're going to do at the boot camp is inspired by one of the missions in Ride to Hell Retribution, easily the worst game I've ever played(It's worse than Sonic 06 imo and I don't say that about too many games so it's definitely bad). Music isn't too bad though so that's probably the only redeeming quality about this game. This mission makes absolutely no sense in game and it's insane for no reason at all. It obviously isn't going to be as brutal or gory here as it was in the game itself, but it's still insanely dumb lol.
Everyone was sound asleep.
Suddenly another alarm was heard as if someone was breaking in.
Everyone jumped up out of their sleep and tried to look outside. The problem was, the windows were blocked.
They also tried to open the doors on each of the trailers.
"No good." Ben16 said trying to open the door.
Raph tried charging at the door which did nothing either.
Meanwhile in one of the Phoenix cabins, Ben10 was about to use brute force and transform into four arms to break the door down.
"No wait! Don't-" Rigby started but it was too late. He transformed. And while the door was broken through, there was some collateral damage for the rest of the trailer too.
"Oh, guess I don't know my own strength." Ben10 said laughing a little, realizing that he made a mistake transforming in the cabin.
"Get me out of here! Let me out!" Heather said, pounding onto the door.
"I say we leave her in there." Rigby said.
"No man, she's our teammate, we gotta get her out of there. And besides, she's not the only one in there." Mordecai said.
Ben, still as Four Arms removed one of the doors. Though Vegeta was definitely a lot more brute force when it came to getting the doors off.
"All right! If you're not up already, wake up or you die!" Someone that wasn't Chris on the speakers said.
"It'll make things a lot easier for you if you're up by the time we get to the trailers." Another voice said.
"Will it though?" The first voice said, still on the speakers.
"Well, when you put it that way…" The second voice said.
Eventually, Chris and Chef arrived in police uniforms.
"Okay, so maybe it wasn't a good idea to try to lock them in." Chris said.
"Oh you think? Maybe it would have worked if you didn't have people here that are strong enough to lift the trailers like they're weights." Dan Mandel said.
"Chris, what was that for? Not only did you disturb our sleep but you nearly gave us all a heart attack!" Heather said.
"Who were those guys on the speakers?" Owen asked.
"We're not just those guys." One of the voices from the speaker said appearing. They recognized the voice as the person that gave them a death threat that, considering his personality may or may or may not have been real. This was Max, a short "rabbity-thing".
"I'm Sam. And this annoying little destructive nuisance over here is Max." An anthropomorphic dog that was twice as tall as Max said. Unlike him he was wearing clothes, specifically a grey Bloodhound fedora, as well as a grey suit with a white dress shirt along with a comically large neck tie with black and blue stripes. Although he only has four fingers and three toes despite being anthropomorphic.
"Oh Sam, you're too kind." Max said.
***Confessional***
Ben16(Fighting Lions):
"What is up with rabbits being destructive and trying to hurt you lately? In any other situation they'd be cute and harmless. Here? Definitely not the case."
***End Confessional***
"In our usual day-to-day lives we're freelance police officers." Sam said.
"But today, we're gonna be your boot camp instructors!" Max said.
***Confessional***
Gary(Soaring Phoenixes):
"Boot camp huh? Looks like the challenge for me. This should be easy compared to what we've had to deal with in the empire."
***End Confessional***
"That's right. For today's challenge, Sam and Max will be taking the lead for today. We'll be sitting back and watching for the most part." Chris said. "If you two need anything, don't hesitate to let us know."
"Thanks but we've got it all under control." Max said.
"Why do I not like the way he said that?" Adam said to Jake.
"Alright, now I understand that you all are on teams. Two teams to be exact." Sam said.
"Even if they weren't on teams, what happens to em next is still gonna happen whether they like it or not." Max said.
"Hmm, well you are right about that." Sam said. "Anyways, you all are under arrest." He said suddenly and casually.
"Wait, what?" Dipper said eyebrows raised.
"He said you're under arrest!" Max said louder.
"No, I heard him, but still….. what?" Dipper said, confused.
"If you can't do the time, don't the crime." Max said as they were all cuffed by Chef, Max, Sam and Chris.
"Well, they actually didn't do any crime Max." Sam said.
"Yeah I know. Still wanted to say it though." Max said.
"Oh hell no! I ain't gettin' arrested by no cops! Y'all gon' have to catch me!" Riley said about to run.
"Yeah, f[censored] this I'm outta here!" Rick said also running. "Come on Morty!"
"Wait, what? I don't wanna run from the police! What if they shoot us?" Morty said.
"It's not an if. That's what exactly what we're gonna do!" Max said.
"No, we're not gonna shoot them!" Sam said before pulling out a mallet. He then whacks Rick and Riley on the head.
"And that was supposed to be any better?" Luz asked.
"Well, they're not dead. But, they might have a really nasty headache." Sam said.
"In other words, instead of killing them, we might have given them a concussion." Max said.
***Concussion***
Dipper(Fighting Lions):
"Well if there's one thing I've learned from this is that these two are definitely crazy. And yes, I said both. Sam is just better at hiding it."
***End Confessional***
"Okay, anyone else have the bright idea of trying to run or do anything else to get themselves hit over the head?" Sam asked.
No one responded.
"I'd use the watch, but I can't even get to my arms!" Ben10 said.
"Good. Now, what I was about to say was that the first thing you'll need to do is get to the obstacle course, keeping the handcuffs on of course." Sam said.
"Yeah but that's the easy part. You just gotta follow us. The hard part starts when you start doing stuff and we don't." Max said.
"But what about Rick and Riley?" Marinette asked.
"Oh those two? They just stay unconscious until they wake up. I feel bad for whichever team has those knuckleheads because until they wake up, they might be at a disadvantage for like, most of the day." Max said as many of the Phoenixes gave him looks. "Well, it looks like I found out which team they belonged to."
They followed the duo to where an obstacle course was. This same obstacle course was the one used during the prison movie challenge of Action. It was composed of wooden scarecrow-like figures wearing prison jumpsuits and sharp "fingers", swinging sandbags with blue helmets on the top and blue shields on the front of them that continuously swung, and finally more wooden figures whose arms swung up and down that had batons.
"Alright, your job is to get as many of you through this obstacle course as you can." Sam said.
"As some of you might notice, this is the same obstacle course from the Action season, so experience may help you here." Chris said.
"It probably won't, but if saying that makes them feel like they have more help at getting through it, be my guest." Max said.
"Once you get to the end, you've got to climb over the wall to get out." Sam said.
"Wait, but last time we dug under." Leshawna said.
"Yeah, well this isn't last time." Max said. "Climb that wall or stay in prison. Your choice lady."
"Oh and one more thing, you're still going to have wear the handcuffs. And you might not want to use your powers for this challenge too. We heard that some of you have some abilities that would make this portion of the challenge substantially easier." Sam said.
"Too bad! Don't use 'em or else!" Max said. "Any of you prisoners have any questions?"
"So, are we-" Lindsay started.
"No questions!" Max said.
"But-" Lindsay started.
"I said no questions prisoner!" Max yelled.
***Confessional***
Lindsay(Fighting Lions):
"I was just going to ask if we all had to go all at once or in carts like last time.
***End Confessional***
***Confessional***
Leshawna(Fighting Lions):
"I know this is counting your chickens before they hatch, but if we're wearing the handcuffs, how the heck are we gonna be able to climb up the wall?"
***End Confessional***
"GO! GET OUT NOW!" Max yelled before pulling out a gun and shooting it in the air. Though this time, it was a real gun.
***Confessional***
Max:
"We actually forgot to tell them that they had three minutes to get through. But hey, as long as they all get through it doesn't matter." He said, shrugging.
***End Confessional***
Everyone started to run. It was chaos, and some of them, including Owen, fell down as they knocked each other over.
Jack decided to just patiently wait until all of the chaos was over before deciding to try and go through.
"Hey, guys! We need to calm down and stop running each other over, or we're never going to get through." Fred said.
"Fred's right. Let's slow it down y'all." Leshawna said.
Everyone got the hint and patiently tried to get through. While Ippo, Huey, Leshawna, Lance, Reimu, Hawkeye and Jack were able to get through unscathed, several of them were hit at least once.
"Ow! Ow! Ow! Ow!" Lindsay said.
Now the hard part was going over the wall. There were no ropes to climb, nothing to grab on, and not only could they not use their abilities, they were still handcuffed.
Jerry decided to just try to dig through using his teeth as he, even with his small size was also handcuffed as they had handcuffs that fit his size as well.
"There's no way I'm doing that." Brandy said.
"Do you have a better idea on how to get out of here?" Weiss asked.
"Unfortunately, no." Brandy said.
"Ed! Get digging!" Eddy said.
"Dig a hole! Dig a hole! Dig a hole! Dig a hole! Dig a hole!" Ed said as he continued to dig. Both teams took advantage of the whole that Ed dug through.
"Alright! Time's up!" Max said, getting the tear gas launcher out.
"I hate to break it ya little buddy, but they're all gone." Sam said.
"Oh." Max said.
Max and Sam joined them on the other side of the wall.
"All right, so it looks like all of you got through. Great." Sam said.
"Great? I didn't get to shoot one of them with tear gas and watch them cry!" Max said.
"Wait what? Why would you do that?" Anne asked.
"We forgot to mention that there was a time limit of three minutes. If one of you didn't get out in time, we were going to shoot tear gas." Sam said.
"But, you all got through, so it doesn't matter now." Max said. "Although I wished at least one of you didn't make it so I could see you cry."
"You really wanted to see someone cry huh?" Ben16 asked.
"Are you volunteering?" Max asked eagerly.
"No. I'm not." Ben16 said.
"All right, let's get you all out of those cuffs." Sam said.
"Wait, I don't get it. How were we supposed to climb over the wall in the first place?" Dipper asked.
"You weren't." Sam said.
"We just wanted to see if any of you would be dumb enough to keep trying to do it." Max said. "And if you were I'd be able to tear gas you!"
All of them were uncuffed. Then Gary was hit with a boxing glove.
"What was that for?" Gary asked, getting up.
"Eh, I just wanted to do it." Max said.
"I know they're going to be in pain, but we can at least be nice enough to let them know what kind of pain they're going to be experiencing." Sam said to Max before bringing his attention back to the contestants. "Now, all of you will be hit with boxing gloves. This won't stop until one of you falls, goes unconscious or gives up." Sam said.
"In other words, accept being a punching bag or you're out of here!" Max said.
Max immediately started to punch them all. Along with Sam and Chef.
This lasted for several minutes.
"Dude, don't go down on me man." Mordecai said.
"I won't. You better not fall either." Rigby said before he was punched again.
"Looks like none of them have quit yet. These guys must be a tough bunch." Sam said.
"Or they're just not being hit hard enough." Max said before hitting them harder and multiple times as he went from one to the other.
"I can't do it Dan! I give…." Chris Pearson said before falling down.
"Well, it looks like we've finally got one." Sam said.
"Well, look on the bright side, you might not be able to see what happens next." Max said.
"Next, we're gonna hit you with some tear gas. Same thing here. It won't stop until one of you cries out loud, falls or gives up." Sam said.
"Dude, can you see anything?" Mordecai asked, as one of his eyes was partially closed.
"Yeah, I can-" Rigby said before being hit with tear gas along with everyone else. Chris, Chef, Sam and Max were already wearing masks so they weren't affected. Though it wasn't him that cracked first. After about a minute, Lindsay and then Kuki were the first two to cry out loud.
"Well, that was a little quicker than I expected it to be." Sam said.
"All right, let's hear those cries everyone!" Max said.
Owen started to cry and Rigby yelled.
"Ah yes, music to my ears." Max said.
"You know, this has been really entertaining so far." Sam said.
"You said it Sam!" Max said.
They then went to a shooting range.
"All right. Next, you're gonna shoot these targets." Sam said.
"Shoot what targets?" Homer said, not really being able to see after getting hit with tear gas and being punched multiple times.
"Oh yeah that's right, some of you can't really see." Max said.
"So that means you're going to have us do something else?" Lindsay asked, her vision being a little impaired as well.
"Nope." Sam said.
"Yeah, I was just making more of an observation." Max said.
The ones that could were given fake pistols by Chef to shoot the targets. Although it was a struggle for several of them. Some of them ended up hitting nothing but air, and some only hit each other. Homer kept shooting Rally.
"Would you stop shooting me?" Rally said.
"Hey, keep it down! I'm trying to shoot!" Homer said.
Rally kicked him down.
"Hey! No impeding on others' shooting!" Max said.
"But he's shooting me!" Rally protested.
"Don't care." Max said before hitting her with a boxing glove again. Her falling caused Hawkeye to fall and knock into Lance who hit Owen in the rear end who ended up farting the pellet out and put out Eddy's other eye.
"I can't see!" Eddy yelled, moving around before tripping over Lance who was also on the ground.
"Alright, I think that's enough practice." Sam said.
"Practice? We didn't even get to really shoot!" Ippo said before being hit with a boxing glove.
"You mean you didn't get to really shoot. I heard a lot of gunshots from where I'm standing." Max said.
"Alright, you get a couple of minutes to get your vision back before we start the last part of your challenge." Sam said.
"A few minutes? That's not enough time to get our vision back!" Rigby said before getting hit by a mallet by Max, which actually made his vision even worse as now he could barely see anything.
Heather and Misty were also hit in the eye.
"What was that for?" Heather asked before getting hit again.
"Any more questions?" Max asked.
Misty and the others all shook their heads.
"Good." Max said before someone else asked another question.
"Sam, why not stop him from doing this? You're his partner." Clover said before being hit by tear gas.
"I think you should have taken the hint the first time about not asking questions unless you're specifically given the opportunity to. Anything he does after the warning is completely warranted." Sam said. "Oh, and you're down to two minutes in your break now."
"Wha- mmfm" Yang was about to say before Weiss covered her mouth.
Max pulled out a gatling gun that shot out pellets at Weiss and Yang.
"Let's take a quick break guys! Ad revenue from you guys' pain!" Chris said, laughing.

Denji and Power were walking before Power saw a place called Moe's Tavern.
"Moe's Tavern? What kind of an establishment is this?" Power asked looking at the pictures and the people inside.
Denji, not even giving the place a look before Power said something, looked over to see what the pink-haired fiend was talking about.
"Oh. It's a bar. They sell alcohol here." Denji said.
Power sees the promotional poster about some sort of contest. "A contest? I am going to enter this contest! And crush every single mortal that enters as well!"
"Why not? We've got nothing else better to do." Denji said before entering the bar behind Power.
One of the patrons with an eyepatch turned around. This was Himeno, a fellow Devil Hunter with Denji and Power.
"Denji? Power? Nice to see you two here." Himeno said, beer in hand.
"Hey, well aren't you a sight for sore eyes." A man with grayish black, spikey hair, faded red eyes and a slight stubble along his jawline wearing a grey dress shirt and tattered cloak. This was Qrow Branwen, the Uncle of two of the young huntresses of Remnant Yang Xiao Long and Ruby(honorary in her case).
Qrow started to drink more beer from his mug again.
"I don't even know you human." Power said.
"What? No, no, I'm not talking about you." He said, waving nonchalantly as someone entered behind them. A man with flowing blonde hair wearing a black coat over a sleeveless black armor plate, a large belt and blue pants. This was the thunder god himself from Asgard(or at least one of several Asgards throughout the multiverse), Thor.
"If it isn't goldilocks." Qrow said.
"Hmm, have we met? I don't seem to have a recollection of who you are." Thor said before going to the bar tender.
"Yeah, I'm sure we have." Qrow said, even though they actually didn't.
"Excuse me." Thor said, trying to get the attention of the bartender Moe Szyslak.
"How ya doin'?" Moe says to Thor.
"I saw from outside that you're hosting a drinking contest. I would like to enter." Thor said.
"Oh yeah, sure thing." Moe said. "What's your name?" He asked.
"Thor Odinson of Asgard."
"Heh, Asgard." Peter Griffin said, laughing a little.
"All right!" One of three people that entered said. This was Mamoru Takamura the current Middleweight boxing champion of Japan back in his version of Earth. The two people beside him were Aoki Masaru and Kimura Tatsuya, two fellow boxers and friends of his that all go to the Kamogawa Gym. Though they were in lightweight and junior lightweight weight classes respectively.
"Free beeeeer!" A robot said, walking in. This was Bender.
"Hey, I'm here for the free beer." He said, going to the bartender.
"Huh? Oh, you mean the sign outside. What's your name?" Moe asked.
"Bender. Now when am I gonna get my free beer?" Bender asked.
"You get it if you win the drinking contest." Moe answered.
"Oh. Well that's easy. If this is my competition then this'll be no problem. Free beer here I come!" Bender said.
"Don't think you've won anything. I will win this competition!" Power said.
"Yeah I call bullsh*t on that." Rick Sanchez said.
"Now, now, everyone has a fair chance of winning. Everyone except me." Takamura said.
"Here he goes again." Kimura said to Aoki.
"And why's that ya wannabe Elvis?" Peter said to Takamura, referring to his hair.
"Easy! You guys got a zero percent chance of winning while I got a hundred percent!" Takamura boomed.
"Oh yeah, well then why don't we settle this!" Homer said.
"I couldn't agree more!" Takamura said.
"Yes! The time for battle has come!" Thor said.
"Hey, what do ya think you're doing, you're not gonna fight in here are you?" Aoki asked.
"Of course not you idiot! We're gonna settle this by doing the thing we came here for!" Takamura said.
"Yeah! All right, hit us with the first rounds already!" Bender said to Moe.
"Not without me you're not!" A voice said. She had light blue hairthat was waist-long and partially tied into a loop with a spherical clip and wore a sleeveless dark-blue feather dress with white trimmings, an extremely short dark blue miniskirt, a green bow around her chest with a blue gem in the middle, and thigh-high blue heeled boots.
"Yeah, and just who the hell are you supposed to be?" Power asked.
"I'm Aqua! A goddess of water!" Aqua declared proudly.
"Ah! A fellow god! Come and join us in our competition!" Thor said.
"Fellow god? Who are you?" Aqua asked.
"Thor Odinson! God of Thunder! I am from Asgard!" Thor said proudly.
"Hmm…. I don't think I've ever heard of Asgard. You must be someone from another world." Aqua concluded.
"All right, let's get this competition started." Moe said, handing mugs to Takamura, Aqua and everyone else that didn't have one.
"Drink up everyone! Last one standing wins!" Moe said, pouring beer into all of their mugs.
"And that will be me!" Power said.
"Over my cold, shiny metal a*s!" Bender said.
"This might be a while." Denji thought before seeing Aqua. "Although, I wouldn't mind her sticking around for a bit."
"This time the glory's mine!" Kimura said, as he gulped down the beer, which only caused Takamura laughed.
"What's so funny?" Kimura said.
"It's just…." Takamura said before drinking more beer. "You thinking you can beat me."
"Just 'cause you're a boxing champ doesn't mean that's gonna carry over to everything else!" Aoki said, drinking.
"Wait, you're a boxing champ? How come I never heard of you?" Peter said, drinking. "You from some different country or something?"
"Yeah. I'm the middleweight champion of Japan!" Takamura said proudly.
"A boxing champion? I can respect your triumphs. It is too bad they won't help you here." Thor said. "Another!" He said, asking for more beer.
"Wow, so this guy's a boxing champion huh? And he's just drinking like any other booze chugger. Never thought I'd be in the same room with someone like him." Denji thought.
"You may be a champion but I'm sure your stats are nothing compared to mine." Aqua said, before drinking another full cup of beer.
"Who knew that a *urp* champion would be here chugging beer." Rick said, already on his 7th mug of beer. "But hey, if a couple of gods can just come here and not give a s[censored] and just drink, then why not."
"Another! I demand another drink!" Power said.
"Yeah, I've been down on my luck when it comes to women. And the ones that I do get it just doesn't last long." Kimura said to Barney.
"Hey don't get too down on yourself. You could be me, 40 and still single." Barney said.
"Yeah, I'm sure lots of women would love dating a boxer. Well, at least for the money." Peter said.
"I mean yeah that's true but…." Kimura said before drinking more.
"ANOTHER!" Thor and Power said simultaneously in the background.
"….I'd love to be with someone that just sees me as more than just some boxer. I gotta admit that I'm not exactly the best boxer in the world. Especially not compared to the big guy or Ippo." Kimura said.
"Meh, romance is over- *urp*rated anyways. It's not the end of the world every woman you date to want to go further than that." Rick said.
"Goddess or not I'm not losin' to you!" Takamura said to Aqua.
"Being a goddess is exactly why I'll win!" Aqua replied.
"Foolish! I'll be the one that wins!" Power said.
"So I hear- *hic* you're looking for romance." Himeno said to Kimura.
"Huh?" Kimura said, confused before she kissed him.
"Word of advice, I wouldn't-" Denji started, but it was too late.
"YEAH! I could do this all day!" Takamura boasted.
"So could I! Even though I've got to go to work tomorrow! WOOO!" Homer said.
Takamura looked over and saw Himeno leaning on Kimura. A mischievous grin appeared on his face. He walked past Bender who was getting ready to chug down another mug worth of beer before playfully nudging Kimura.
"Ah, so I see you're takin' the time to get to know the ladies huh Kimura? I'm jealous!" Takamura said.
"Yeah. Looks like you're the last man standing pal." Aoki said.
"Ah whatever." Takamura said, dismissing Aoki's comments with a wave. "Romance isn't everything anyways."
"Yeah, tell that to Dr. Yamaguchi." Kimura joked.
"Dr. Yamaguchi, there's no need to worry about her. It's just you and me. Just like in the ring." Himeno said, too drunk to even realize what he actually meant by that.
"Heh heh. Yeah." Kimura said before leaning in for another kiss only to be hit with vomit from both her and Aqua.
"I tried to warn you. Was too late." Denji said.
"Alright, I think that's about enough for you two. You're out!" Moe said.
"What? But I can't lose! I'm a goddess!" Aqua said before crying. "Please, give me another chance!"
"Sorry, rules are rules." Moe said.
Seeing Aqua cry only made Power laugh.
"Look at you! A goddess! Crying!" Power said.
"Why do you have to be so mean! It's not funny!" Aqua said, still crying.
"But it is! It's hilarious!" Power said before her drink fell in her laughter and Kimura himself proceeded to vomit all over her which also caused her to do so as well.
"Gross man." Denji said.
"Ha! That's what you get for laughing at me!" Aqua said to Power.
"It's too bad none of you have a tough body like mine!" Takamura said before his glass broke. "What?" Although that wasn't the worst of it. Eventually, he would have to leave too and with the help of Aoki, was able to release the effects of drinking all of that alcohol outside with Rick not being too far behind him. Peter fell to the ground after asking for another drink mid-refill and so did Homer and Barney.
In the end, only Thor, Bender and Qrow were left.
"So it is only us three now." Thor said.
"Yep." Qrow said. "Though I think I kinda had something to do with that." He said, referring to his Misfortune semblance.
"Looks like we're out of extra mugs. You lose your mug, you're out."
"I am ready for another, my friend!" Thor said.
The drinking lasted for several more minutes until Thor and Qrow would both be eliminated, with Qrow accidentally hitting his hand against Thor's mug, shattering it and Qrow himself dropping his own.
"Like I said, can't seem to turn it off. Not even on myself at times." Qrow said, shrugging.
"Ha ha! It looks like I win! Gods! Humans! Demons! It doesn't matter! Bender wins!" The robot said triumphantly before he dropped his glass too during his celebration.
"Free lifetime supply of beer as promised." Moe Szyslak said, giving him said voucher.
"BEEEEEERR!" Bender shouted triumphantly only for the voucher to get blown away by wind. Another product of Qrow's misfortune.
"Wait. No come back!" Bender said, running after it.
"Yeah, I think it's time I take my leave." Qrow said, knowing it was his fault the voucher flew away.
Thor, before leaving, finished with a long, extended burp.
"A great match. Now I must depart." Thor said before flying off.
A/N: And Bender is the winner!
Fun Fact, adding Power in here was a mistake. I think I saw her as a suggestion in a review somewhere and just started writing her in here unconsciously. Until I realized that that wasn't a character that was suggested for this short or a character I proposed adding myself. Instead of erasing it, I just went with it.
Multiversal Nexus: Bart's Prank Calls Across the Multiverse #1: Regular Show
The concept itself was suggested by G-Man 2.0 but the worlds and characters used, e.g. Regular Show were ones I'll use
Bart was with Mordecai and Rigby at a phone.
"You guys want to see real prank calling? Let me show you how it's done fellas. Let's start off with a classic." Bart said before calling Pops first.
"Hello?" Pops said, answering the phone.
"Hey, do you know anyone by the name of I. P. Freely?" Bart asked.
"I don't think so." Pops said.
"Muscle Man? Do you know anyone by the name of I.P. Freely?" Pops asked.
"Wait, say their name again." Muscle Man said as he and High Five Ghosts were grinning.
"I.P. Freely." Pops said which only caused Muscle Man and High Five Ghost to laugh.
"What's so funny? I want to laugh as well!" Pops said, completely oblivious to the joke.
"Okay that one's pretty good." Mordecai said.
"Call Skips next!" Rigby said.
Bart does exactly that.
"Hello?" Skips said.
"Hi, is I.M. Gay around?" Bart said.
"Excuse me?" Skips asked, confused.
"I'm looking for someone named I.M. Gay." Bart repeated.
Skips, annoyed, hung up the phone.
"Okay, okay let's try this one." Bart said before finding a number in the phonebook and calling Benson.
"Who's he calling?" Mordecai asked.
"I don't know. Who you calling man?" Rigby asked.
"I don't know. Someone named Benson." Bart said.
"Oh no. Dude, hang up! Hang up!" Mordecai said.
"Why?"
"That's our boss! We prank called him one time and he banned us from using the phone." Rigby explained but it was too late. Benson already answered.
"Hello?" Benson said, on his sofa watching TV.
"Hey, we were wondering if you have something." Bart said.
"Have what?" Benson said, wanting whoever this was to get to the point so he could get back to watching TV.
"Something known as…. known as a large jass?"
"A large jass? No, I don't." Benson said. "Now if you'll excuse me I- wait a minute, who is this?" Benson said after realizing the joke.
"Oh this is Hoo's Weinershard music company. You know of us right?" Bart asked.
"No, I don't know Hoo's Weinershard. And you know why? BECAUSE THEY DON'T EXIST! NOW YOU BETTER NOT CALL HERE AGAIN!" Benson said before slamming the phone back down. He then realized he was pranked again and picked up the phone and threw it across the room.
"He's not going to find us is he? Because if so, we're so dead." Mordecai said.
"Of course not! People have threatened me with a lot worse but they still never found me." Bart said.
Mordecai and Rigby gave a sigh of relief.
"So who are we calling next?" Rigby asked.
*End Commercial Break*
City Set
"Welcome back! Their short lived break is up and now they move on to the next part of their challenge!" Chris said.
"Alright! For this next part we're gonna be chasing you all until you get to your first objective. Your goal is to get a truck. Once you do, take it all the way to the Western Set. Once you're in, there's a power plant building you'll need to find. Right next to it are some guns you can pick up that'll help you. Get the boxes off the truck and bring them to the plant. Then you'll need to head back to a fence next to the city set. Climb over it and there's two boxes you'll need to retrieve. The first team to bring us one of these boxes wins the challenge." Sam explained.
"Oh and you've got 30 minutes to do all of this or you all fail the challenge!" Max said.
"If all of you fail, you all lose! Which means, both teams will be sending someone home. So I suggest you really try hard to win this challenge. Oh and another word of advice, you might not want to open the boxes." Chris said.
"Any questions?" Sam asked.
"Wait, you expect us to do all of that in 30 minutes!?" Heather said.
"Yes." Max said. "And there might be some guards that will try to stop you. Don't be afraid to use violence! I wouldn't!"
"Can we use any of our powers?" Virgil asked.
"No, you can't. That's what your training was for." Sam said.
"But that wasn't any training to begin with." Brandy said. "I don't think any of us got any better at anything." She added before being whacked in the face with a spring boxing glove.
"Anyone else want to question our training?" Max asked.
There was silence.
"I think you've made your point loud and clear little buddy. Now, before you start, these people are out and will not be able to do the last part of the challenge." Sam said before pointing at each of them, saying "You" as he went through each of them.
For the Lions, Rally, Brandy, Clover, Ippo, Misty, Weiss, Yang, Lindsay and Kuki were out.
For the Phoenixes, Heather, Owen and Rigby were out, with Sam ending with "and you" at Rigby.
"You all either lost your team the previous parts of the boot camp or you asked a question when you couldn't." Sam said. "Now let's see here." He said before randomly pointing at more Phoenixes.
Sokka, Riley, Mac, Hawkeye, Marinette, and Dan Mandel were picked.
"You guys are out too." Sam said.
"Why?" Marinette asked.
"It's because we don't like you." Max said.
"That's actually not the reason. Well at least for me anyways. Since 9 of them are gone, it would at least be fair for 9 of you to be gone too." Sam explained.
"And you had to pick me out of all of them?" Sokka asked.
"Same for me too. What gives?" Hawkeye asked.
"Again, it's nothing against any of you personally, it was more of a random thing." Sam said.
"You better get running now! If we catch you, you're out too!" Max said.
"Now?" Mordecai asked.
"Do you want us to shoot you?" Max asked.
Mordecai and the others ran, giving them all the answers they needed.
"There's also some bikes you can use to help you get there faster!" Chris called.
"I don't think they heard you Chris." Chef said.
"Ah, whatever." Chris said before sitting back to enjoy the show.
The remaining contestants ran across the city set until they found said trucks. Vert saw motorcycles and went to get one. Daphne and Ben16 were the only ones that followed him to get one. It didn't take long for Sam and Max to be chasing them, like promised. They were on a golf cart.
"I trust you're not actually going to shoot them with real guns, right?" Sam asked.
"No promises Sam!" Max said.
Though he actually didn't. Since most of them didn't have any bikes, all he had to do was shoot them with bolas.
Joey was the first one to fall, with Bloo being next. Homer and Spongebob looked as if they were about to be next and desperately tried to run for that to not happen.
It was Spongebob that would fall next. Homer, in some way, was able to get by and make it to said "truck stop" prop where there were two trucks. Everyone else that already made it was taking care of the guards, which were just interns.
"Wait, these are just interns." Dipper noted.
Each team took one truck each. Once they did, Sam and Max stopped trying to pursue them. There were several bikes there. While Fred drove a truck for the that had something strapped to the back of it for the Lions, Lance drove a truck for the Phoenixes that also had something loaded on the back of it.
Homer was breathing hard. "Wait! I don't want to run again!" He said before seeing the motorcycles.
"Aha." Homer said before getting on a bike.
Wally kicked Chris Pearson off his bike, causing him to tumble on the ground. Dax, unlike some of his other teammates, wasn't afraid to attack back and went to try and knock Wally off the bike by running into him intentionally but he missed. Not seeing where he was going, he accidentally ran into one of the building props.
As they got to the Western set, Homer tried to kick Eddy off his bike.
"Hey, buzz off!" Eddy said, trying to run Homer off the road in return. But both of them ended up falling off their bikes as neither saw the props that were ahead of them. Eddy ran into a cactus while Homer ran into one of the cameras, which didn't knock him off initially, but the cord from the camera got caught up in the bike and he fell off with the bike going into the bank building.
Fred and Lance parked the trucks Fred and Lance parked the trucks by the inexplicably placed power plant building. They both pick up the boxes. Though more guards appeared. Though this time they were robots.
***Confessional***
Chris:
"Yeah, if you're wondering why there are robots here, didn't have enough interns that were willing to volunteer. Kinda sucks but yeah. Susan and Mary were willing to lend us some of their older robots for this challenge at a pretty cheap price so I guess it all works out."
***End Confessional***
Each respective team guarded Fred and Lance against the robots with the weapons they got which shot some sort of sticky substance that would knock the robots to the ground or the wall should they be hit enough. Though hand-to-hand combat, if they were strong enough to not hurt their hand against metal that is, could take care of them too.
As Fred placed the box down in the area designated for his team as there was a circle that had their logo on it, a robot appeared behind him, though it was stuck to a wall by Leshawna.
"Thanks." Fred said.
"No problem. But no time to celebrate. Let's get a move on!" She said.
Lance wasn't too far behind and he placed the box down. After a couple of minutes, both boxes exploded and the switches controlling the electricity on the fence dissipated.
15 minutes remained.
They all got back on bikes and quickly made their way back to the city set. Leshawna tried to knock Gary off of his bike when he wouldn't let her get past but he wasn't going to let that happen. Using the weapons they got earlier, they started to shoot at each other. Neither could get a clear shot. Gary shot the ground and the sticky substance caused Leshawna's bike to get stuck. She tried to get out but she couldn't.
"Darn it!" Leshawna said.
Meanwhile, not too far ahead of them, Vert, Lance, Fred and Daphne lead the pack on their bikes. Because Fred and Lance had the boxes, neither had weapons. But Daphne and Vert did. Vert tried to go for Daphne but missed and inadvertently hit Fred. Daphne took out Vert in return.
They found the fence, which was a turn to the left instead of going straight back to where the trucks were. They all climbed over the fence.
Daphne and Lance got the boxes and raced to where Sam and Max were. It was close, but Lance wouldn't make it. He was shot by Eddy from a distance.
"Nothin' personal." Eddy said, grinning as he knew his team was moments away from winning. Daphne hands Sam and Max the box.
"Great work!" Sam said.
"And that's the challenge! The Lions win!" Chris said.
The Lions celebrated as some of the Phoenixes, including Falcon went to free Lance.
"You alright?" Falcon asked.
"Yeah." Lance said after getting the rest off his hands himself.
Sam opened the box and ate the donuts out of it.
"Wait, the box was donuts?" Mordecai asked.
"Yep." Sam said before eating another donut. "Here you go little buddy." He said handing Max a donut.
"Thanks!" Max said before eating one himself.
"So let me get this straight, we dug out of a prison set, got beat up and shot targets to have little to no practice on shooting, beat up interns and stole trucks just to drive them to a power plant and destroy some robots, just to get donuts!?" Dipper said, in disbelief of what they just had to do.
"And this is a problem why?" Max asked.
"Why not just climb over the fence in the beginning?" Samantha asked.
"Well, you couldn't. The fence was electrified." Sam said.
"So why not just drive the trucks through the fence or just climb on the tricks and boxes and go over? Heck, we might have been able to just go around." Dipper said.
"Where's the fun in that?" Max said.
"I have to agree with Dipper here. Logically, this challenge didn't make much sense." Velma said.
"Regardless of what makes sense or not, you guys won, so you get invincibility! As for the Phoenixes, time to get reacquainted with the awards ceremony tonight!" Chris said.
"Hey Sam!" Max said.
"Yes?" Sam said.
"You ever get the feeling that we're forgetting something?" Max asked.
"Everyone gets that feeling sometimes Max." Sam said.
"That is true. It's probably nothing." Max said.
Meanwhile, Rick and Riley were still in handcuffs on the ground.
"Man somebody get me out of these things man! I gotta go to the bathroom man!" Riley said.
"I got one thing to say to you Chris, f[censored] you! Now somebody come and get me out of here, my arms feel like they're about to fall off. God, where's Morty when you need him?" Rick said.
Awards Ceremony
Random pictures of Chris in different outfits from his usual one were seen on screen before a gilded Chris award was seen.
Chris then showed up, wearing his blue suit again.
Total Drama Elimination Theme
Chris stepped to the podium.
"Alright! After an absolutely hilarious boot camp day," Chris started before someone commented.
"That wasn't a boot camp. That was just a way to make us punching bags." Adam said.
"Still doesn't change the fact that it was funny." Chris said. "Anyways, it looks like most of you have casted your votes."
Vicky, Heather and Zoey, who were the last few stragglers, put in their votes.
Chef, still in his police outfit, brought in the awards before leaving.
"All right, let's see which one of you is going to go home next." Chris said as he got the voting results himself as Chef, when he returned, was eating donuts.
"Thanks. You were a really big help." Chris said sarcastically.
"What? The donuts are good." Chef said.
"Seriously, how'd they give you donuts but not me?" Chris asked.
"I just asked." Chef said.
"They didn't happen to give you an extra box did they?" Chris asked.
"Nope." Chef said.
"Any left?" Chris asked.
"Hello, could we get to the ceremony already? I'd like to go to sleep!" Heather shouted.
"Nope." Chef answered.
"Darn it!" Chris said.
"Did you not hear me? I said I-" Heather called out again.
"I heard you already sheesh!" Chris said.
"Alright, since Heather insists on seeing someone go home, let's get this over with." Chris said.
"The following Phoenixes will receive an award and are safe from elimination."
"Adam and Jake!"
"Hawkeye!"
"Jack!"
"Ben!"
"Rigby!"
"Morty!"
"Spongebob!"
"Falcon!"
"Mordecai!"
"Mandy!"
"Billy!"
"Marinette!"
"Dan Mandel!"
"Dax!"
"Beast Boy!"
"Cyborg!"
"Peter!"
"Gary!"
"Dan Hibiki!"
"Vicky!"
"Dan Kuso!"
"Sokka!"
"Mac!"
"Bloo!"
"Owen!"
"Vert!"
"Homer!"
"Zoey!"
"Mariah!"
"Bridgette!"
"Geoff!"
"Vegeta!"
"Lance! Heather! Chris! Riley! Rick! You're the last five!"
"Heather! As much as some of your teammates weren't fans of you in the last challenge, you didn't do enough this challenge to really deserve to be voted off as seen by the results here." Chris tosses her an award.
"Riley! Rick! Because both of you were ousted so early you were both non-factors. Not to mention that you were forgotten by Sam and Max so Chef had to get you both out of the cuffs. Not much of a reason for either of you to go tonight I would think. And your teammates agree. You're both safe!" Chris tosses both of them awards.
"Lance! Chris! Final two!"
"Lance! Because you failed to get the box of donuts over to Sam and Max you were unable to win the challenge for your team. Probably the same box that Chef ate all of." Chris said frowning at Chef.
"Chris! You were the first one to give in in the pain tolerance part of the boot camp. And you were the first to get knocked off the bike in the last part of the challenge. Other than that, you really didn't do much this challenge." Chris McLean said.
"The final award of the night goes to….."

"Just give the last marshmallow to Lance already we already." Dan Mandel said. Chris Pearson looked at him.
"What?" Dan Mandel said.
"Lance!" Chris tosses him an award.
"I'm out already? This sucks." Chris Pearson said.
"I mean It was pretty obvious when you fell to the ground first and got knocked off your bike first, and you were up against Lance when it comes to eliminations. Not to mention that you-" Dan Mandel said before Chris Pearson stopped him.
"Okay Dan, we get it. I didn't do well enough." Chris Pearson said.
"Well, if it makes you feel any better, I'm sure not everyone voted for you." Dan Mandel said.
"I guess it kinda does." Chris Pearson said, smiling a little. "I mean I know you didn't, but I really want to know who else didn't."
"Well, I guess we'll never know." Dan Mandel said.
"You voted for me didn't you Dan?" Chris Pearson said, no longer smiling.
"What? I never said that. Besides, there's always the next season. Cheer up!" Dan Mandel said before basically pushing him into the lame-o-sine.
"Wish me luck Chris! I'll try to win for the both of us!" Dan said as it drove off.
"Well, I think Dan pretty much covered everything. The rest of you are safe. For now." Chris said.
Dan Mandel caught up with Rick who was talking to Morty.
"Yeah sure. You say sorry now. But you didn't care enough to remember before." Rick said to Morty.
"Hey!" Dan Mandel called out.
"What do you want?" Rick asked.
"I'm just gonna get to the point. I want to form an alliance with you." Dan Mandel said.
"Bigger question is, why? You've only been here for a few days and you expect me to just join up with you and at least somewhat trust you?" Rick asked.
"Easy. Both of us want to win the money. And I don't think some of these idiots deserve it either. And plus, you don't strike me as the type of person that likes being told what to do. And I can definitely respect that." Dan Mandel said.
"Alright, fine, I guess. But don't think about trying to f[censored] me over or I promise you, you'll regret it." Rick said.
"Wouldn't dream of it." Dan said before they went their separate ways to the different trailers for their team.
"An alliance huh? That sounds pretty cool Rick." Morty said.
"Yeah, whatever." Rick said.
***Confessional***
Rick(Soaring Phoenixes):
"So what do I think about Dan? Meh. Don't have much of an opinion on him to be honest. He seems to not like that many people, which makes sense. A lot of a[censored]holes in the world. So I guess that much I can respect. Other than that, I don't really care. I only agreed to it because I know it's not going to last. And I'm pretty sure he does too. That's why he asked to be on another season."
***End Confessional***
***Confessional***
Dan Mandel(Soaring Phoenixes):
"Why did I make an alliance with Rick? There was no way I was going to join Mandy's. She'd probably find a way to get me eliminated early. And I wasn't joining up with Heather or Vicky either. Sooner or later those two are going to get the boot and they'd take me with them when that does happen. The rest of the team I don't really care about. Besides, even if things don't work out here, there's always another season."
***End Confessional***
"And I remain the only Chris here once again! That was kinda weird. And to think that I'll have to deal with that in a future season as he's coming back. As for tomorrow, it's day 2 of the boot camp challenges! Who will prove to be expendable next? Find out on Total…. Drama…. Island! Multiverse Edition!"
A/N: And day one of the boot camp is in the books! Like I said, the last part is based off of a mission in Ride to Hell Retribution which is just as nonsensical there as it's made to be here in this story. Get the full context for yourself from a video as I don't recommend you play the game at all. It's even worse with context than it is without.
Also, as a heads up, the next Aftermath Episode is coming soon so the clock is ticking on poll voting if you haven't done that already. Once day 3 of the boot camp is posted, the poll will be closed in place for another new poll. Fan questions will also be taken for eliminated contestants, so that's also something to think about as well if you have any questions you'd like to ask.
