Alright, let's start with part 2 of leg 2. Once again, I apologize for having two parts for this leg. But, things are slowly getting better. Well, here's where everyone is last we saw them.
Toad and Toadette: Currently going to arena square
Donkey Kong and Diddy Kong: Currently going to arena square (3 minutes behind first place)
Bowser and Bowser Jr.: Currently going to arena square ( 1 hour and 30 minutes behind first place)
Mario and Luigi: Currently going to winery hut ( 3 hours and 55 minutes behind first place, going right)
Goomba and Shy Guy: Currently going to winery hut ( going left)
Koopa and Dry Bones: Currently going to winery hut ( going right)
King Boo and Boo: Currently going to winery hut ( going right)
Kammy and Kamek: Currently going to winery hut ( going left)
Peach and Daisy: Currently going to winery hut ( going right)
Yoshi and Birdo: Currently going to winery hut (going right (currently on punishment of low mileage car (Yoshi tied to hood)))
Well, let's resume the story.
Disclaimer: I don't own Nintendo or The Amazing Race, but reasons for me choosing the people on the race to join were mine.
Dalton was silently cursing to himself as he walked into the door to the Starbucks. After walking three miles just to get to a Starbucks, his hands were numb and he was shivering. He looked to see a long line to get to the cashier desk. He sighed and waited. This was ridiculous just to get a cup of coffee. And he would have to go back as well.
Mario and Luigi: Currently in Fourth
"There it is". Luigi said, pointing at the clue box as they pulled up to the winery hut.
"It's a roadblock. Who's got skills?" The clue read. Mario decided he would do it. Koopa and Dry Bones came in and read the clue. Koopa decided to do it.
Goomba and Shy Guy: Business Partners
"This isn't right". Goomba said, looking around the area. It seemed to be a city with people in coats walking around. Shy Guy looked around and turned the car around. The wizards were right behind the two and noticed this.
"They're turning around". Kamek said, looking out the window.
"Then let's teleport to the hut". Kammy said.
"Why didn't we do that earlier?" Kamek asked her mother.
"No idea". Kammy said, grabbing her wand and teleporting herself, accidently bringing the work partners with. This resulted in the two cars appearing 50 feet above the hut. The two cars came crashing down right onto the boo's car. If it was the car behind them, then it would have resulted in death, but the boo's were just fine.
"Woah". Daisy said in the car behind the three stacked onto each other. The boo's got out of their car and floated up to the magicians.
"So, this is what you do. We 'take' your clue at the wall and you crush our car? That's just sad". King Boo screeched at the two.
"Hey, that's not our fault!" Kamek screeched back.
"Really now? Ok then, Boo, get the clue". King Boo ordered his son as he got in the magicians car.
"Hey, get out!" Kammy yelled, pounding on the window.
"Make me!" King Boo spat at her. Kamek, seeing how this was going to end bad, quickly grabbed the clue and went after Boo to do the roadblock. Shortly after, Peach and Daisy slowly got out of their car and read the clue and decided after a short argument that Daisy would do it.
"You ok Shy Guy?" Goomba asked his partner as he rolled out the window.
Shy Guy was looking around and noticed his IPod was completely cracked all over. Shy Guy didn't responded, all he did was walk out the car without showing any pain, grabbing the clue, and following Daisy. Luigi and Dry Bones could only watch from the sidelines.
"Of course they would smash our car!" King Boo angrily said in a during leg interview. In the background, the magicians were trying to get the ghost out of their car, but when they were about to perform a spell, King Boo would just roar at them. "So, I'll just take their car, which for some reason is in perfect condition despite falling onto two other cars from 50 feet up".
Yoshi and Birdo: Currently in Last
"What happened here?" Yoshi asked, looking at the destruction that was three cars piled onto each other. Birdo didn't pay attention to that. All she did was leave Yoshi tied onto the car as she went in to do the Roadblock.
Moments later, three people came out of the hut.
Mario and Luigi, Koopa and Dry Bones, Goomba and Shy Guy: Currently tied for fourth
"Wow Shy Guy. I don't know how, but you do awesome at these Roadblocks". Goomba congratulated his partner, but Shy Guy wasn't interested. He grabbed Goomba by his head and dragged him into a taxi that was waiting for some reason.
"Where did the taxi come from?" Goomba asked.
"I called it while throwing a sword in the air".
"What?" Before they got an answer, they were off followed by the other two teams heading for the arena square.
Moments later, the next two people came out.
Peach and Daisy: Currently in Seventh
Kammy and Kamek: Currently in Eighth
Before Kamek could reach his mother, Boo came out of invisible air and grabbed the clue from Kamek.
"Hey! Give it back!" Kamek screamed at Boo while pulling out his wand.
"Sorry. Finders keepers". Boo laughed while getting in the car with King Boo without opening the door.
"Make your way to the arena square in Sochi". Daisy read as she got in her car with Peach still in it as they left the same time as the boo's. Kamek screamed in frustration and went in to grab another clue. When he came back out, Birdo was right behind. The two teams left to catch up as fast as possible, seeing as Kammy called a cab in advance.
"Welcome to Starbucks. How can I help you?" The clerk at the front counter said. Dalton had finally got to the front of the line and was finally able to order a coffee.
"Uh, just give me a decaf and a danish please". Dalton responded, to which she gave the items to him".
"8.75". The clerk said.
"Ugh, that's all my money". Dalton complained, handing the money. He silently grumbled as he walked out the store. He didn't think it could get any worse. But when he turned the corner of a building, he figured that was wrong. Three muscular guys suddenly appeared and surrounded him.
"Where do you think your going. Give us your money and you won't have to hurt today". One of the guys said. Dalton sighed, realizing that he spent all his money on the coffee. The next thing he knew, the three were getting closer. Then, he felt a stinging pain and he blacked out.
The arena square was a large dome with a roof on the top of it. The inside had a large room with ice on the ground. The roof still had snow on it from the earlier snowstorm. A car pulled in and the people inside got out to go to the cluebox at the entrance.
Toad and Toadette: Currently in First
"Detour. Curling or Pucking?" Toad read. "Either have one person push a stone on the ice while the other sweeps the ice to get the stone in the center, or shoot ten goals each past a goalie in the winter sport hockey. Well, I remember coaching this stuff, but I don't actually know how to do these sports".
"Well, I can help you with hockey". Toadette giggled, heading inside. Toad followed.
Donkey Kong and Diddy Kong: Currently in Second
"I would have to say curling". Donkey Kong said.
"Why? Is it because you know how to do the sport while I have no idea what curling even is, but soon enough, I'll probably figure out under the circumstances that we don't get a first place finish this leg all because I don't know what sweeping is?" Diddy Kong asked in about three seconds.
"Yes".
Toad and Toadette: Dating
The two skated in to see two hockey sticks leaning on the wall. They each took one and went over to the designated spot. A familiar person could be seen doing the job of goalie.
"AUGH". Toad screamed when he saw who it was.
Toadette looked closely. "Roy Koopa?" She asked, making sure it was him.
"Yeah, it's me". Roy responded, putting on a hockey mask. "Now are you girls going to play or what?"
"Well then, let's do this". Toadette determinedly said while Toad cowered behind her.
"Yeah, I know it's humiliating. And it's one of Bowser's children none the less. But that guy terrifies me. He would scare you if he appeared under your bed one night randomly". Toad said in an after leg interview.
Donkey Kong and Diddy Kong: Uncle and Nephew
"Ok, so basically, when I throw the stone, you want to start sweeping the ice until the stone reaches the center of the target. Got it?"
"Okie Dokie". Diddy Kong responded. Donkey Kong then threw the stone at such speed it passed over the smaller monkeys head and slammed into a wall. "Oops".
Both teams were having lots of trouble with their tasks that they didn't even see the next team come in and finish the curling task in one try.
Bowser and Bowser Jr.: Currently in First
"At a boy Roy". Bowser called out to his other son. "Make sure you don't let them finish".
"No prob dad". Roy called back. This was unfortunately the distraction that allowed Toad to get his final puck in, which meant the mushrooms were done with the challenge. They grabbed their clue from Roy and opened it quickly.
"Make your way to the next pitstop, the Stalin Summer Residence".
"Papa, wasn't Stalin like a dictator of this giant country?" Bowser Jr. asked his father.
"Yeah, that means if some pathetic human can do it, a giant mutant turtle can do it too". Bowser laughed before running for the car.
It was a car race to get to the pitstop first, but if you know anything about the teams, then you know who got there first. Starlow was waiting by the mat next to what seemed to be a look alike of the dictator of the Soviet Union Joseph Stalin. The first team quickly got on the mat.
"Welcome to Sochi, Russia". The man said to the team.
"Toad and Toadette, you are team #1".
Toad and Toadette: First Place; 11:54
"Yes, we did it". Toadette cheered.
"Once again, you two have proven to be the dominate team. As winners of this leg of the race, you two have one a five day cruise throughout the carribean sea".
"That's good, right?" Toad asked.
"Yes it is".
A few minutes passed before the next team arrived.
"Bowser and Bowser Jr., your team #2".
Bowser and Bowser Jr.: Second Place; 11:57
"Ugh, when will we get first?" Bowser moaned.
"Soon enough, or probably not". Starlow responded.
Donkey Kong and Diddy Kong: Uncle and Nephew
"Ok then, I'll go as soft as I can". Donkey Kong said, gently tapping the stone, which still sent it passed Diddy Kong. But somehow, it made the center.
"Finally!" He exclaimed, grabbing the clue and making haste to the pitstop with his nephew close behind.
"Donkey Kong and Diddy Kong, your team #3".
Donkey Kong and Diddy Kong: Third Place; 12:33
"That detour got the better of us".
"Probably should have done hockey".
"Yeah. Would have been better for you guys".
Dalton slowly opened his eyes. He didn't know where he was, but he felt lots of numbness. He could tell he was laying in the snow. He looked to his side to see Starlow's coffee was next to him unspilt. But his Danish was nowhere in sight.
"Damn". He muttered, slowly getting up and grabbing his coffee and slowly making his way back to wherever the pitstop was at.
Goomba and Shy Guy: Currently in Fourth
"Curling, let's go". Shy Guy instantly said, grabbing Goomba and dragging him inside.
Shy Guy grabbed a broom and waited. Goomba wasn't quite sure of what to do.
"What do I do?" He asked in confusion.
"Just push it". An irritated Shy Guy responded.
"I know that, but with what, my body?"
"Don't you think it's a little obvious?"
Goomba started nudging the stone that was obviously heavier than him, but was getting nowhere.
"Ugh!" Shy Guy screamed, marching over and pushing the stone into the center himself. "There, we're done. Give us our clue!" Shy Guy roared, collecting his clue and dragging Goomba yet again to the car.
Mario and Luigi and Koopa and Dry Bones: Currently tied for fifth
The two teams watched the work partners leave the square as they were grabbing their clue.
"Hey, how about we make an alliance with one another. It could help us get further in the game. Not to mention we won't do anything bad to you". Koopa offered to the bros.
"I don't know. You guys did get tenth". Mario pondered.
"At least we weren't on the last departure time". Dry Bones shot back.
"Good point. Alright, let's do it. You want to try hockey?" Luigi asked.
"Sounds good to me".
"Goomba and Shy Guy, your team #4".
Goomba and Shy Guy: Fourth Place; 2:22
They didn't say anything. They were about to get off the mat when they saw a very cold, angry, and stressed Dalton heaving as he stormed over to Starlow.
"Here's your freakin coffee!" He screamed at Starlow. Starlow looked at the coffee and sighed. "It's too cold".
Starlow didn't get a chance to say anything else because Dalton was now stuffing the coffee into Starlow's mouth. He then looked at the work partners.
"Don't think I don't know you two cheated at the detour. Get on the bench and wait two hours NOW!" He literally screamed. The two looked at each other before getting on the bench. Shy Guy sighed.
"Two hours of waiting here. All because of me losing my temper when I lost my music. If we make it through this leg, I will have to learn to be more cooperative with my teammate". Shy Guy said while waiting out his penalty.
Mario and Luigi, Koopa and Dry Bones: Currently on Pucking
"Give it up Roy, you can't stop us". Mario taunted after he got his last puck in. All he needed to do was have Luigi sink two more while Dry Bones needed three.
"Why can't I do this? I thought for sure this job was meant for me". Roy complained. He grew even more frustrated when Dry Bones made another shot.
Somehow, at that exact moment, the last four teams rushed in and started working on detours. Peach and Daisy decided to do hockey, King Boo and Boo wanted to try Curling. Kammy and Kamek stayed away from the boos and went hockey while Birdo decided Yoshi would be best at hockey.
"Ok son, looks like we're the only one at curling". King Boo said to his son.
But after time, the new alliance finished their task.
"Let's a go bro". Luigi called out to his bro when he finished. Shortly after, the turtles also finished.
Kammy and Kamek: Mother and Son
"Time to use magic". Kamek said, holding up his wand.
"Woah, you can't do that for this task. You've got to use the sticks like normal people". Roy called out.
"Ugh, fine". Kammy moaned as she put her wand away.
The two teams arrived at the resort to see Starlow with a black eye. They didn't seem to care as they stepped onto the mat.
Koopa and Dry Bones, Mario and Luigi, because of Goomba and Shy Guy's penalty, you guys are team #4 and 5
Koopa and Dry Bones: Fourth Place; 2:46
Mario and Luigi: Fifth Place; 2:47
"Nice. So much better than last time".
King Boo and Boo: Father and Son
"Dad, you sure you know what to do?" Boo asked his father.
"Of course I do. I was a rival for a reason". King Boo responded, throwing the stone and allowing Boo to sweep in front of it.
It took a few trys. But soon enough, they had it in the center.
"Good job son. Now, let's go to the resort". King Boo said after reading the clue.
Yoshi and Birdo: Dating
"You're not going to mess up this time, are you?" Birdo asked Yoshi.
"Don't worry, I know what I'm doing this time".
"No you don't". Roy called out.
"Shut up". Yoshi yelled back, using his Yoshi powers to make all ten shots. Birdo then shot them and got them it while Roy was stunned. They walked over and took the clue.
"Let's go". Birdo called.
"Hurry up Peach, he's defenseless to his left.". Daisy called to the other princess.
"I'm focusing". Peach called back. She waited until Kamek swung to swing herself which caused Kamek's puck to get intersected the wrong way, but get Peach's in the goal.
"Nice".
Pretty soon, Peach had done this enough times to get the clue from Roy who had just recovered from Yoshi's moves.
"Hurry up Kamek, we're the last team".
"King Boo and Boo, your team #6".
King Boo and Boo: Sixth; 3:27
Dalton went over and whispered something to Starlow.
"Really?" She responded. "Stealing a clue and a cab. Good job. That's exactly what I did when I competed".
Instead of telling her off, Dalton was intrigued. "Wait, so you competed in a different race before?"
"Sure did".
Deciding it would be best to get off the mat before they came to their senses, the boos got off the mat.
The next team quickly got on the mat.
"Peach and Daisy, your team #7
Peach and Daisy: Seventh; 3:59
"Still need to improve". Peach mumbled.
After that, another team arrived.
"Yoshi and Birdo, you team #8".
Yoshi and Birdo: Eighth; 4:05
"Well, we managed through a penalty and we're still growing stronger and stronger". Yoshi cheered.
"We got eighth. That's nothing to cheer about". Birdo groaned.
Goomba and Shy Guy's heart sunk when they saw the last car pull up and the team come out. All hope was gone as their chance from winning the race had utterly disappeared.
"Goomba and Shy Guy, I can check you in now".
Their eyes went wide as they realized that it was now a foot race. The other team realized this too and charged for the pitstop. It was a close race. But one team was faster than the other.
"Goomba and Shy Guy, you are now officially team #9".
Goomba and Shy Guy: Ninth; 4:22
Kammy and Kamek: Last; 4:23
"Kammy and Kamek, that makes you officially the last team to arrive. And I'm sorry to tell you that you've been eliminated from the race".
"It was fun while it lasted, but you know, someones got to go and it was our time to do so". Kamek said disappointed in his performance.
"Even though we had magic on our side, we still lost. How is that possible? We must have done really bad thanks to those stupid ghost". Kammy grumbled after being eliminated.
After the two left, Starlow faced the camera and smiled. "And with that, Kammy and Kamek are our second team eliminated. Will Toad and Toadette continue to hold their lead? Will Goomba and Shy Guy ever catch up to the other teams? And will Dalton ever do anything right? Find out next time". The camera faded out to show the credits.
Next time on the Amazing Race
Teams feel things get from cold to hot.
"Man, it's so hot out here". Bowser moaned.
"Well here, let me help you out". Luigi cheerfully replied throwing his spare bucket of boiling water at him.
"AUGH!"
And teams strip down.
"Which bikini do you prefer, this one or this one?" Peach asked Daisy.
"They look the same". Daisy groaned.
"Wish I'd see you in a bikini". Toad mumbled under his breath.
"Maybe on a special occasion".
"Really?"
"No".
All this and more next time.
Well, got part 2 finished. Once again, I apologize, but at least I got everything taken care of. I'm hoping to have a full chapter up next time, but I can't be too sure.
This legs special guest was Roy Koopa. He helped by being the goalie in the detour pucking. I've already got a list of special guest and when they show up, so don't ask to add anybody.
One last thing. There's a poll on my page. Please vote on it based on what you think will happen. I already have an order set for elimination, so I don't think I'm changing that. Well, hope you enjoyed and I can't wait to see what you think off this chapter and future chapters. Stay Solid and Peace.
P.S: The date that this chapter updated was October 20, 2013. The Sochi Olympic games have yet to happen at this time. But if you have read this fic after January of 2014, then it has already happened and there would be no reason for these guys to be doing the detour. I'm just saying it just in case.
