Aftermath II is here! Which contestants will show off their style and which will (potentially) embarrass themselves in front of the multiverse and the aftermath crew?
Reviews:
That guy: Zack and Cody huh? An interesting pick. Definitely wouldn't mind seeing them or Marisa entering. Whether she would compete with or against her friend Reimu remains to be seen(if she wins).
Thenewsubwayguy: It's honestly just controlled chaos lol. The idea of having guest characters in was something that was actually inspired by Total Drama Destiny, a fan season of Total Drama on Youtube by Lindsay (D-Man). Since then, I've taken off with it. It's a way that makes the challenges more fun, allows me to get more creative and allows more characters to get in, whether it's ones I scrapped, or ones people requested.
G-Man 2.0: Possibly, nothing is off the table(the Rocky and Sam and Max thing). Though there's one challenge in particular that I'm sure he'll love in that season. As for Ryuko, I don't think I'll take her out. That could change, but right now that's doubtful.
1_true_believer_3000: I know this was requested in the second season, but the challenge request is approved! I wanted a challenge in the Chowder world, but I couldn't think of anything other than the Apprentice Games. This is even better imo.
G09F17R02: I guess. Though all of that is going to be changed at least two more times in this season, so it honestly might not matter tbh.

"STOP DOING THAT! IT'S NOT WORKING!" Vegeta yelled.
"You do realize they can't hear you right?" Cyborg asked.
"I DON'T CARE! I DIDN'T COME HERE TO LOSE!" Vegeta yelled.
"HEY I'M RIGHT HERE! YOU DON'T HAVE TO YELL!" Cyborg yelled back.
"SO AM I!" Vegeta said.
"YOU DID IT FIRST!" Cyborg said.
"Guys! I can't hear the-" Beast boy started before they both yelled at him.
"BE QUIET!" Cyborg and Vegeta shouted at Beast Boy which caused him to turn into a dog and cry.

"So we have to go back out there?" Adam said, not wanting to face all of those enemies again.
"You have a weapon, right? You can defend yourself. Even if it's limited, that's a lot more than what some people could say. If you can't even get through those slow moving skeletons, how could you expect to beat me if I was trying to defeat you early?" Blake said.

"Well if they're that good she should join the Maverick Hunters." Zero said.
"Hmm, I don't know. Does it pay well?" Reimu asked.
Zero blinked in confusion. "Pay?"
Reimu sighs. "Forget I asked."

"Total Drama world, this is the respect I get from the team. No one appreciates my talents. Except for Chase. Sometimes. Beyal does it too. Don't let that sweet, quiet demeanor fool you. It's all an act. He makes fun of me too sometimes." Bren said, knowing full well that he was on TV.
"You kinda make it easy for us to do that little man." Dax said, jokingly.

"What? No I'm not saying I'm useless." Chris said.
"Exactly, you're not useless. Who else can I depend on to help me wage war against the people and companies that have wronged me? Certainly not Elise. In most cases anyway." Dan Mandel asked.
Chris sighed.

"Yeah, well let's see you get on this show and prove your worth!" Joey said.
"I've got no reason to prove myself to someone beneath me. If I did that with many other people beneath me, I wouldn't be running a successful company. And that's a lesson in business. Never let someone beneath you tell you how to run your successful business. There's a reason why they're not as successful as me. Just like there's a reason why you'll never be on my level when it comes to dueling." Kaiba said.

"I quit." Another voice said.
Everyone looked to see the source of the voice. It was Ryoma. And many of them were shocked to hear the samurai say this.
"You sure dude? Once you leave, that's it. You'll be missing out on $300,000 man." Chris said.
"Yeah. I never came here for the money anyways." Ryoma said before getting ready to leave.
"But Ryoma, you can't quit!" Ippo said as he went down the walk of shame.
Ryoma stopped and turned to face him. "This is my decision Ippo. You can't stop me." Ryoma said before walking away.
"But you're one of our strongest guys here. You can't go!" Ruby said as he continued to walk.
"Ryoma, I just want to know. Why?" Leshawna called out.
"I lost. It's that simple." Ryoma said, refusing to explain any further. "Now if you'll excuse me, I must be going now. Good luck to the rest of you. And I wish Falcon a speedy recovery if he hasn't awoken already." He went into the lame-o-sine with any other words.
"I'm done here. Go ahead." He said to the driver before it drove off.
The footage ends and the camera cuts to the stage where Julie and the peanut gallery was shown.
"Hi everyone! We're back with the second episode of Total Drama Aftermath for this season of Total Drama Island: Multiverse Edition! And with Aftermath being back, so am I, Julie Makimoto, your host!"
"It's great to be back here again Julie." Hammer Gorem, Julie's partner bakugan said.
"But before we begin the show, Chris is here to explain the challenge lined up for today's aftermath episode." Julie said. "And I have to say, that suit looks good on you!" She said as Chris was wearing a black suit and matching sunglasses.
"Thanks Julie! Like the last aftermath episode, we'll have a challenge here as I've already told the contestants. Have you ever watched some of those movies where there's a makeover montage before the guy or the girl goes to something big like a date or a wedding?" Chris said.
"You mean those totally unrealistic romantic comedies?" Marinette and Mandy asked simultaneously before the two looked at each other, a little surprised that the two shared something in common, with Mandy being the one that was surprised the most.
"Yeah, those movies suck." Rigby said.
"Romantic comedies? Man this about to be some lame s[censored]." Riley said.
"What? You guys don't like those movies? But they're so cute!" Kuki said.
"Cute? Give me a break." Wally said, folding his arms.
"Which ones are your favorite? I have a rom-com collection, and I'd love to add some more." Mabel asked Kuki.
"Well…." Kuki started before Morty said something.
"Wait, w-we're gonna be dating someone!?" Morty asked, eyes widened.
"Congrats Chris, you might have started a movie preference war." Dan Mandel said.
"No. Terrible news for some of you I know. Was just saying that for the context of the challenge. Not to incite a movie war. This challenge is a fashion challenge!" Chris said.
"Oh. Well, that's cool I guess." Morty said.
***Confessional***
Dipper(Fighting Lions):
"A fashion challenge? Well, it could be worse. Candy and Grenda could be here to give someone one of their patented makeovers. Thank goodness they're not."
***End Confessional***
"Hey, cheer up Morty. If it makes you feel any better there'll always be another time." Rick said.
"Or maybe there won't be. Who really knows?" Dan Mandel said.
"Honestly, it kinda doesn't." Morty said to Rick.
Marinette, Daphne, Clover and Brandy all perked up at the sound of that challenge.
***Confessional***
Clover(Fighting Lions):
"A fashion challenge huh? This is one I can definitely get behind."
***End Confessional***
***Confessional***
Brandy(Fighting Lions):
"This is probably the best challenge Chris has come up with so far. I think I'm genuinely going to like this challenge." Brandy said smiling before her happiness was immediately killed. "But then again, it's Chris. He'll find some way to make this dangerous."
***End Confessional***
"Four pairs of two from each team will use various materials provided in the film lot to make outfits. This is where that VR challenge came in handy. We did it before doing any of the movie-based challenges because it would give us more time for the orders of the extra costumes among other things to come in, they got delayed." Chris said.
"You'll find fabrics, accessories, and whatever else you need to make the outfits. But you won't be just limited to just that. Feel free to use anything from around the film lot or even Camp Wawanakwa, if you can travel that far in a quick enough amount of time. If you need to draw out your designs, feel free to use the paper provided as well. Once you've got everything, you can use the Chris McLean sewing machines! Patent pending." Chris said.
***Confessional***
Weiss(Fighting Lions):
"Chris McLean sewing machines? Really? Then again, I shouldn't be surprised."
***End Confessional***
"So what if you can't sew?" Yang asked.
"That's fine too. We've got some special guests that can help you out with that." Chris said, gesturing to some of the members in the crowd as a white pony with a purple mane waved along with a girl with black hair tied in Japanese-style bun and tama hair sticks that wore a yellow-green yukata dress and a blur large obi ribbon on the back. A third person with white skin, triangular light blue eyes and matching lips with a creature on her head worn like a hat along with a grey strapless dress with a skull on it and red pants and black boots was also waving to the contestants.
The trio were Rarity, Ayame and Mystique Sonia respectively.
"Hey, I didn't expect Ayame to be here." Falcon commented, before waving back.
"In each pair, one person will be in charge of making the clothes while the other will go out on stage wearing what the other person created. The pairs will be randomized but its up to you to decide who makes the clothes and who wears them. What you wear will be judged not only on appearance, but also on presentation. You can get points added or taken if you can wow the judges with how you're presented as well so don't be afraid to think outside the box. Which leads me to my next point. If any of the pairs would like to use their abilities as they present their outfits feel free to do so. But it must only be from those pairs. Unlike the talent show you can't get any outside help, even if they're on your team. The team with the highest score overall wins the challenge!" Chris said.
"Oh and one more thing! This is a double elimination challenge! Which means if one person on the team gets eliminated tonight, the person that was paired with them for the challenge also gets eliminated even if they received an award. So definitely keep that in mind." Chris said.
"Now, Lions, here are your pairs! Daphne and Weiss! Luz and Numbuh 3! Mabel and Anne! And finally Fred and Ruby!"
"Phoenixes! Here are your pairs! Bridgette and Bloo! Dan Mandel and Mandy! Falcon and Spongebob! And Marinette and Vegeta!"
"Just don't put me in anything stupid, got it?" Vegeta said to Marinette already giving her the role of making the outfit.
"Don't worry, you'll look great!" Marinette said.
"I better look fabulous!" Bloo said to Bridgette.
"All I can say is I'll do my best. No promises." Bridgette said.
Mandy only sighed.
"So, are you doing the outfit or am I?" Dan Mandel asked.
"I don't know. And honestly, I don't really care." Mandy said. "Hey Chris."
"What's up?" Chris asked.
"Can we still collaborate with other team members for design ideas?" Mandy asked.
"Yeah, sure. But you can't all have the same idea. That would be boring! Just remember that once the presentation starts, you can't use outside help." Chris said.
"Mandy brought up a good question about getting help. I know for some of you, this might not be your forte. As a hint, all three guests that are here to help with sewing are well-versed in this sort of thing, so if you want their opinion on something, don't be afraid to ask them." Chris said.
***Confessional***
Ayame:
"Well, saying that I'm well-versed is a bit of a stretch. But I'm not terrible at it. I'll be sure to do my best!" Ayame said, smiling before scratching her cheek, a bead of sweat rolling down it. "And hopefully not get someone eliminated in the process."
***End Confessional***
"You've got until 30 minutes after the end of the show to finish! Once the show ends, a 30-minute timer will start. Once it ends, everyone needs to be backstage, preparing to present. Get those creative juices flowing everyone!" Chris said. The contestants took that as their signal to get started and began to go their separate ways to gather materials and ideas.
***Confessional***
Rally(Fighting Lions):
"I'm just glad I don't have to do something like this. Being forced to wear something that I'm probably going to hate wearing? No thanks. Though I'm sure May would love this."
***End Confessional***
"Good luck everyone! I have a feeling that whatever they come up with is going to be awesome!" Julie said. "Now then, let's get started with the show!"
"The Peanut Gallery has all the same faces that you saw before! And unfortunately, the same missing ones too." Julie said. "Heather and Duncan are still missing from this peanut gallery."
"I don't really mind that Heather's gone. Dealing with one is enough." Gwen said, referring to the Heather that was already here.
"I don't think we should take the opinions of someone that isn't even on the show." Heather said.
"Well I'm glad to hear that, because you're going to be joining her." A voice said. A familiar face wearing sunglasses suddenly appeared, rolling a bag behind her.
"Guess I spoke too soon." Gwen said.
"And just who are you supposed to be?" Heather asked.
"Heather. The real Heather." TD Heather.
"The real Heather? Both of you guys look pretty real to me." Ash said.
"It's called an expression. Look it up." TD Heather said.
"Well at least we know both of you share the same personality." Ash said low.
"What was that?" TD Heather asked.
"The better question is what are you doing here?" Leshawna asked before seeing the bags. "Oh no. Please tell me she's not doing what I think she's doing."
"If by that you mean joining the show? Yes!" Chris said.
"What?" Several of the TD contestants said, surprised.
"Yeah. After yelling in my ear after finding out about this Heather joining in the show, she asked to join. And like the great host I am, I decided to let her." Chris said. "Lions, welcome your new teammate! Heather!"
***Confessional***
Leshawna(Fighting Lions):
"This can't be happening right now. Really? Really!?"
***End Confessional***
Heather looks around at the Lions. "So these are the people that I'm with huh? Not bad. But I'm disappointed that you haven't knocked her out yet." She said, referring to Heather Chandlers.
"And what, you think that you coming here is just going to fix all of that instantly?" Leshawna asked.
"No. I don't. Considering the fact that she's not going to be involved in this challenge. Or were you not paying attention to that?" Heather asked.
"I was. And I'll have you know that we were doing fine without you." Leshawna said.
"Doesn't seem like it. Considering the fact that you not too long ago lost five team members in a row." Heather said.
"And just how do you know that?" Dan Kuso asked.
"Easy, I took a look at the elimination table. I haven't watched all of the season. I just watched enough to know that I needed to enter. I asked Chris about it and he said yes. It was all a matter of me just travelling over here." Heather explained.
"Well, she's got you there." Noah said to Leshawna.
"Whatever. Just don't think you can come here and just boss people around." Heather said.
"Yeah!" Lindsay said, agreeing.
"I won't. As long as the team does what they're supposed to do that shouldn't happen." Heather said.
"And right now, what the teams are supposed to be doing is thinking of ideas for fashion outfits!" Chris said. "You've gotten introduced to Heather, now it's time to get to work."
***Confessional***
Mandy(Soaring Phoenixes):
"The longer she stays here, the bigger the problem she's going to be. We've got to get rid of her as soon as possible."
***End Confessional***
"And now it's time for us to get to the show, barring any other surprises, for real this time!" Julie said as the contestants all scattered
"First things first, a second poll is running for an additional late entry into the show! The poll will continue to run until the next aftermath episode so if you haven't already, make sure you vote!" She announced.
"Now it's time to interview some of our recently eliminated contestants! Starting with the one I think people are looking forward to seeing the most, Ryoma!" Julie said.
Ryoma gets up from his seat and goes to sit on the couch set the opposite of the peanut gallery as some of the crowd claps for him.
"It's nice to be here Julie." Ryoma said, bowing respectfully.
"It's great to have you here! Now, Ryoma, you don't seem like the type of person to beat around the bush, so why not get straight to the questions!" Julie said.
Ryoma nods. "Go ahead."
"Now, it's time for the game of Truth or Harley!" Julie said.
The animation of Truth or Harley is seen on screen. Harley hits the "Truth or" words out of the way, causing the "Harley" word to enlarge which caught her off guard at first. She regains her composure and stands on the word, crossing her legs, holding her mallet in her right hand.
"So Ryoma, you were the first person to voluntarily quit this season, can you tell us why exactly you did that?" Julie asked.
"And ya better tell the truth! Why? Well, just go ahead and lie and you'll find out." Harley said, grinning.
"I already said it beforehand. I lost the game. That's the reason why I quit." Ryoma said.
"If that's the case, then how come I don't exactly believe you?" A voice said from the crowd. It was the fortune teller, Rouge.
"Rouge?" Ryoma said, surprised.
"Well, it looks like he's telling the truth." Julie said.
"I don't care about what some lie detector says. That's not the full story and I know it." Rouge said.
"Well, Ryoma? What are your thoughts about that? Is that true?" Julie asked.
"It isn't. I have no idea what she's talking about." Ryoma said, arms folded now.
A buzz was heard.
"Uh oh, looks like someone's been caught fibbin'!" Harley said before swinging down a rope and tried to swing her mallet at Ryoma, but he dodged it.
"What's going on here?" Ryoma said, immediately pulling out his sword only to get kicked from behind by Izzy.
"What is this? We were teammates!" Ryoma said. As he got up, Harley pulled out a shotgun and put it on his face. She immediately shot it, causing confetti to come out of it and go all over his face.
"Ha! You thought this was a real gun did ya?" Harley asked Ryoma who knocked it out of her hands. Though Harley immediately pulled out another gun.
"You think this is a real gun? It is!" Harley said before shooting him with it, this time it shot out a boxing glove, hitting him in the face and knocking him back.
Ryoma gets up, looking to strike back.
"Would you please calm down Ryoma?" Rouge asked, getting on stage and blocking his way.
"Calm down? They just tried to attack me! I will fight back." He said.
"Hey, hey, ya need to take a chill pill. Seriously." Harley said.
"It's all fun and games Ryoma. They're not here to really fight you." Rouge said.
"Then why did they attack me?" Ryoma asked.
"You clearly haven't played that many games growin' up have ya?" Harley asked.
"Games? I've played a few but I haven't had time for those. My training comes first." Ryoma said.
"Ryoma, all you have to do is answer the questions truthfully. And considering what just happened, you didn't." Rouge said.
"Even if I told the truth what difference does it make now? I'm already out of the competition." Ryoma said.
"Well, for starters, maybe it'll help you lighten up a little more. I've always told you that you needed to relax a little and not worry about training all the time. And now other people are seeing it too." Rouge said before grabbing both of his hands. "Please?"
Ryoma's face gradually began to turn tomato red. "Okay." He said before trying to put his sword away.
"Um, could you please let go of my hands?" Ryoma asked.
"Oh. Sorry." Rouge said, letting go of him. He puts his sword away and goes to sit back down.
"Well? Go ahead. Ask your questions." Ryoma said.
"Okay then. Ryoma, tell us the full story for why exactly you decided to quit." Julie said.
"The part about me quitting because I lost. All of that's true. But that's not the full story behind it. I did it for a few reasons. The first was because of my loss to Jack." Ryoma said.
"Jack?" Dan Kuso said.
Ryoma nods. "Yes, it was my battle against him during the one-on-one challenge. When I lost, I could tell from the looks of some of my teammates that they were disappointed. I was in myself for losing. But seeing their faces, it only compounded it. And seeing what happened with Ippo afterwards, I didn't feel like I deserved another chance over him or my other teammates."
"So what, you lose one game and you already want to tap out? Some samurai you are." Dan Kuso said.
Ryoma looked surprised before looking at him. "What did you say?" Ryoma said, not happy with Dan's remark.
"Yeah. I've gotta say, I'm very disappointed in you Ryoma. Not because you lost, but because you decided to quit after losing instead of getting up to try again." Goku said, a serious look on his face.
"Or give it your all. You had that stone, so why in the world did you not use it?" Leshawna asked.
"Yeah, that honestly surprised me a little. Why didn't you use it?" Courtney asked.
"Because, I'm a samurai first." Ryoma said. No buzzing was heard.
"Looks like that's the truth!" Julie said.
"Okay, could you elaborate on that further o wise one?" Noah asked.
"If I can't win without relying on the help of my Power Stone, then I don't deserve to have it. Nor do I deserve to be called a samurai." Ryoma said.
"But Ryoma, you've won before without the use of your stone." Rouge said.
"And what about the times that I have had to use it? Tigress, Valgas, The Tsurugi Brothers? On the way to the temple of Wang Tang's sensei?" Ryoma said.
"You keep talking about your failures. But what about all of the good things that you've done? You don't ever give yourself enough credit." Rouge said.
"Credit? I will give myself credit when I become the ultimate warrior. Until then, none of that matters." Ryoma said. "As of this moment, I'm a failure. There's no credit, happiness or praise to be had in that."
"And that's what you want to be known for last? Being a loser?" Eva asked.
"Don't you think that's a bit harsh Eva?" Cody asked.
"Harsh? Mr. Samurai here keeps beating himself over losing one lousy challenge and he seems okay with it. I'm sure he doesn't care about me adding onto it."
"No, that's not it at all!" Ryoma answered.
A thought came to Rouge.
"Is this about what your master said to you?" Rouge asked.
"Of course not, I-" Ryoma said, before cutting himself off, knowing he was lying. He sighs. "Yes. It is."

"May I show you the results of my training?" Ryoma asked his master, kneeling.
"Ryoma." His master said.
"Yes?" Ryoma looks up.
"You have failed." His master said.
"What?" Ryoma said in disbelief.
"You had to resort to the use of the Power Stone. By using your Power Stone you showed you haven't mastered control." His master said causing Ryoma to look down and close his eyes in disappointment.
"You mean you weren't allowed to use the stone?" Falcon asked.
"You were rash and lacked discipline. Leave me and continue your training."
End Flashback
"I figured. This was exactly how he was then too. Depressed and down on himself." Rouge said.
"So in other words, he loses and doesn't use an ability that mind you he's been given to be able to use, he becomes a moody guy? Unbelievable." Noah said, not meaning that to say he was shocked, but more in a condescending tone.
"Yeah, you lost. It happens. It's not the end of the world. Get over yourself dude." Ben16 said.
"Ippo's a champ and even he's lost. And ya don't see him throwin' a pity party." Raph said.
"Failure is how you get stronger Ryoma." Jack said to him.
Jack's statement was what really got his attention.
"So you failed. Winning or losing, provided that you come out alive, provides another opportunity for you to learn." Jack said.
"I understand about not wanting to use your stone. Training yourself to not be over reliant on such power. I don't know your master, but I am sure that what he has taught you goes beyond one lesson." Jack said. "I must ask you my friend, how can you become the ultimate swordsman if you are unwilling to use your blade? And the better question is, if he did not believe you deserved that power, then why did he give it you? You have not abused it, or used it for your own selfish reasons." Jack said.
Ryoma puts a hand on his chin, thinking over Jack's words.
"And finally, you mention not deserving happiness. Happiness is not something you should try to push away. But rather, something you should embrace. Consume your training and the lessons that it brings, but do not let training consume you." Jack said.
"I see." Ryoma said. "Happiness, have you embraced it?" He asked out of curiosity.
"Yes. It took a very long time for me to do so. For what felt like forever. But I was finally able to." Jack said, smiling, referring to his marriage with Ashi.
"Happiness is different for everyone. Find what makes you happy Ryoma, and embrace it." He said.
"I'll tell you one thing that would make him happy." Rouge said, smiling.
"What's that Rouge?" Ryoma asked, starting to blush, anticipating what she was about to say.
"Beating Falcon. Right?" Rouge asked.
"Oh. Right. Yes! That's exactly what would make me happy!" Ryoma said, going through a swing of emotions from devastated to trying to perk up to try and quickly curb his devastation.
"Too bad that's not going to happen here. I'm out of the competition remember?" Ryoma said, saddened again.
"Oh yeah, I forgot. I'm so sorry about that." Rouge said, realizing the mistake she made.
"Well, you might have the chance to get back in!" Julie said.
"What? Really? How?" Ryoma asked.
"You're one of the choices on the poll as a late entry! And in your case, if you win, you get a second chance at the 300k!" Julie said.
"Really? Wow! Thank you!" Ryoma said.
"That's great!" Rouge said, happy for Ryoma. "But unfortunately, even if he wins that may be a good ways to go."
A lightbulb then goes off in her head and she raises her right index finger. "Hey, I have an idea." Rouge said.
"What is it?" Ryoma asked.
Rouge hooks onto his arm.
"Why don't you come and sit with me?" Rouge said as Ryoma starts sweating and feels his heart beating faster, feeling as if it was about to come out of his chest with all of the people there watching him.
"Well, you see, I…. I'm still doing the interview! Yes! I'm ready for the next question!" Ryoma said quickly.
"I think this was all the people really wanted to hear about you. Is that right Julie?" Rouge asked.
"Yep! No more questions!" Julie said.
"Come on, how about you come with me and get some ice cream." Rouge said.
"Ice cream?" Ryoma said.
"Yes. Jack said to embrace happiness. Ice cream makes everyone happy." Rouge said.
"Well, I guess I could go for some ice cream." Ryoma said before quickly pulling the fortune teller along. "Come on!"
"Please, slow down! Why the rush?"
"I'm just, really, really looking forward to that ice cream!" Ryoma said, quickly trying to leave from out of the eyes of everyone and calm himself down.
Mabel and Luz could only look at each other and smile, thinking the same thoughts about the two power stone wielders.
***Confessional***
Goku(Fighting Lions):
"It's good to see Ryoma's back in good spirits. I'm hoping he gets a second chance. If he does, I'm looking forward to seeing what he can really do."

"Speaking of Falcon, I wonder how the team's doing?" Dan Kuso said to Peter.
"Good enough to win I hope. I'm just glad I don't have to do this." Peter said.
"Yeah same here." Dan Kuso said admittedly.
"Next up to the stage, Chris Pearson!" Julie said.
Everyone clapped as Chris went to sit on the couch set.
"Okay Chris, your first question is a fan question!" Julie said.
"Really? A fan wanted to ask me a question? Okay then, hit me!" Chris Pearson said.
"Well, I'd only do that if you lie, buuut I can make an exception." Harley said.
"Um, no thanks." Chris Pearson said. "I think I'll just take the question only."
"Well if ya change your mind, I'm here!" Harley said.
"I'm pretty sure I won't." Chris Pearson said.
"Okay! That Guy asks, 'How did you enjoy the game and would you recommend it to your wife?'" Julie asked.
"Well, it was pretty short lived. Not as dangerous as I thought it would be so there's a plus, even if it isn't too much of a plus considering what happened with the Heather and Weiss freezing. And I got to meet some really nice people. So that's two pluses to one minus. So I gotta say, yeah I enjoyed it." Chris said.
"As for the second question about recommending this to Elise, yeah, probably not. If the rest of it's anything like that freezing challenge than no. But if it's something nice like this fashion challenge then yeah, I absolutely would. Although, she does seem to have some knowledge and skills on things that I didn't think she would have that I've gotta admit are pretty awesome soooooo….. yeah no I still wouldn't. " Chris said.
"Alrighty then, next question. How far do you think Dan will be able to go this season?" Julie asked.
"Knowing him, pretty far. Enough to make it to the merger at least. I can't say enough how much Dan's quest for vengeance is unrivaled when it comes to fueling him." Chris Pearson said.
While Chris was being asked another question, Dan Mandel and the rest of the Phoenixes were still at work trying to come up with ideas.
"How about a sweater?" Spongebob proposed.
"Personally, I'd say no. But hey, this isn't exactly something I'm good at, so my opinion really shouldn't mean too much." Falcon said.
"Hey, I could help you out." Ayame said. Falcon and Spongebob turned to see that it was her that was talking to them.
"Yeah! You're good at this stuff right?" Falcon asked her.
"I dabble." Ayame said.
"Great! Well, you two can bring your minds together on this." Falcon said before getting up. "I've got a date with some food. I can't wait to see what they've got today on this Aftermath." He said before Ayame immediately pulled him back and got him to sit back in the chair he was sitting in again.
"Hey! What do you think you're doing?" Falcon asked Ayame, upset.
"I'm going to brainstorm some ideas, but in order for me to find the best possible outfit for you, I need to actually have you here to take a look at." Ayame said.
"Ayame you've seen me how many times? And I've looked the same every time. I would think you would know how I look by now." Falcon said.
"Look, just stay in here for at least a few minutes, this won't take long I promise." Ayame said.
Falcon folded his arms. "Fine."
Meanwhile, Mandy had already decided that she was going to make something for Dan to wear.
"Just don't make me look like an idiot alright?" Dan Mandel said as he gathered the materials.
"If I wanted to do that, there'd be nothing you could do to stop me from doing so. But I won't, so quit your worrying." Mandy said.
"You know, you could do more than just sit there." Dan Mandel said.
"I am doing more. Doing this stupid challenge is torture enough. All it's for is to fuel the egos of airheads who only value vanity." Mandy said, thinking of Mindy as she said this, which only makes her even more upset at the fact that she has to do this sort of challenge.
"Well, can't argue with that logic." Dan said before continuing to search for the materials she asked for.
***Confessional***
Dan Mandel(Soaring Phoenixes):
"Oddly enough I see some of myself in her. Too bad I have no interest in joining her alliance. Just because I see similarities between the two of us doesn't mean that I think we'd work well together. That, and if I messed up in something she'd probably tell the rest of the people in her alliance to get rid of me in an instant. I said I wanted to compete next season just in case I lost here. That doesn't mean I'm going to just phone it in for this one."
***End Confessional***
Frank was already up answering his first question after introducing himself.
"So Frank, first question. Considering how you were able to survive before in the Willamette incident, do you think you would have lasted longer in the show? And are you surprised at being eliminated at this point?" Julie asked.
"To the first question, yeah. But, I can't say I'm super shocked. I mean just take a look at the guys I've had to compete against. I think it would take me too long to count off everybody that's left and what they can do." Frank said. "Me? I'm just a guy with a camera that just knows how to survive a lot of s[censored]."
"So, you've seen what everyone can do, barring a few hidden skills here and there. Do you have a pick for who will win the season?" Julie asked.
"Who'll win the season?" Frank repeated before thinking for a few seconds. "Honestly, you're guess is as good as mine right now." He said.
Harley didn't hit him so he was obviously telling the truth.
"And what's the reason for that? This isn't a truth or Harley question so you can answer this in any way you like." Julie said.
"Well, it's more of just too much going on." Frank said. "By that I mean it's just way too many things that can happen that can get anyone eliminated. I mean, there's already been three surprise entries into the season throughout. Anyone expected another Heather to join? Because I sure as hell didn't. Once the number gets lowered, I'd definitely be able to tell you who I think would win."
Meanwhile, Bloo was suggesting ideas for Bridgette.
"How about a leather jacket? That's cool! Or…. Ooh! Ooh! A fur coat! You could have me look like that lady off of that Dalmatian movie!" Bloo said.
"You mean Cruella?" Bridgette asked.
"Yeah! Her! So that means you like my idea right?" Bloo asked.
"No. I don't like either of your ideas. They involve animals. And besides, you do realize Cruella was a villain in the Dalmatian movies right?" Bridgette said.
"So? What's the big deal? Villains can be cool too. I was once a cool villain named Lord Uniscorn." Bloo said.
"Look, I may not be a fashion expert like Brandy, Marinette, Daphne or Clover but I'm drawing the line on certain outfits. We're not going to use anything that involves animals." Bridgette said.
"But if they're fashion experts, then they'll probably use those things if they want to win. Come on, what's one little old piece of clothing going to do? Don't you care about winning?" Bloo asked.
"Yes Bloo, I do care about winning, but I'm going to do it the right way. Heather and Vicky aren't nice but you don't see me acting like them to try and win do you?" Bridgette asked, as she continued to draw up her idea.
"Yeah, but the difference there is Vicky and Heather are actually hurting people. This isn't hurting anyone." Bloo reasoned.
"No means no Bloo." Bridgette said before hitting the pencil against her head a couple of times trying to think.
A few seconds passed as Bloo just sat while Bridgette tried to think of ideas.
"Okay I'm bored. You do that, I'm going to go find something to do. Let me know if you think of anything, 'kay?" Bloo said, walking away.
Zack and Cody Martin, twins from the Boston Tipton Hotel were currently being interviewed back at the Aftermath show for a potential spot later on into the season.
"Yeah, it's pretty cool. We get to live the sweet life. Pun intended." Cody Martin said after being asked about if it's true that they live in a hotel by Katie.
"Wow! That's sooo cool." Katie said.
"She means living in the hotel. Not the terrible pun." Zack said to Cody Martin.
"You don't know that for sure. Why not ask her?" Cody said to Zack.
"Okay, forget the puns. What's the next question?" Zack said, not trying to hear his brother be potentially motivated to do anymore terrible puns.
"What video games do you guys have?" Cody asked the twins.
"Where do you want us to start?" Zack asked.
"Really? So you don't ask them about any talents they have that would make them good for the show. Instead, you ask them about video games?" Courtney said to Cody.
"Hey, it's a valid question to ask." Cody said.
"To be fair, there were two challenges based on video games. It's not too bad of a skill to have to be good at those." Noah said.
"I guess you do have a point there." Courtney said.
"So you want to know about talents huh?" Cody said.
"If you must ask, we're extremely talented." Zack said.
"I can dance, play the violin and the French horn, and unlike my brother here, I'm…." Cody Martin said before confidently pausing before his next two words. "Educationally gifted. Plus, I actually do have experience in going to camp. I went to a math camp and it was so awesome."
"You could have stopped several words ago." Zack said.
"Well, they asked about why we should be on the show. I gave them everything they needed to know about me." Cody said.
"Because they definitely wanted to know how riveting cosigning graphs are in a camp." Zack said, sarcastically.
"That's cosine graphs Zack." Cody corrected.
"Yeah, that's what I said." Zack said. "Anyways, while my brother is a nerd,"
"Educationally gifted." Cody interjected.
"Like I said, a nerd. I'm more of a 'ladies' man'." Zack said which caused some of the peanut gallery, specifically Gwen, Courtney and Azula to roll their eyes at Zack's statement.
"Okay Mr. Ladies man, I'll bite. What exactly can you do?" Gwen said.
"Easy. I play sports, I'm a dancer just like my brother, and I'm a strategist." Zack said. "But I gotta say, there's no strategy in the world that can account for how some of you girls look."
"That's….. nice I guess." Gwen said, trying not to be blunt and hurt his feelings.
"Yeah." Zack said, nodding and grinning in confidence.
Meanwhile, the Lions didn't seem to have that many issues when it came to figuring out ideas. Or at least it seemed. Fred and Ruby seemed to have the most amount of trouble out of the three.
"Sorry this is taking so long, this isn't exactly my thing." Ruby said to Fred. Ruby had already taken it upon herself that she would come up with something for Fred to wear.
"Don't worry! Take your time!" Fred said, not concerned. "As long as you do your best, I think we'll be just fine."
"Yeah. You're right." Ruby said before an idea came to her. "I've got it!" She said before quickly getting lost in what she was drawing up.
As for the other Huntress and Mystery Inc. member, Weiss and Daphne respectively, Daphne couldn't be more excited to be able to come up with an outfit for Weiss. She had already sketched some designs and wanted to get Weiss' approval for which one she liked.
"Nope." Weiss said, referring to an outfit that had her in a trench coat.
"Nope." Another that was a gown with snowflake patterns all over it. "I like it, but it's something about that's just too…. boring I guess is the right word?"
"Hmm…." Daphne said before going through a couple of more ideas she had. "What about this one?" Daphne asked. It was a formal suit that was white with a black tie and handkerchief.
"No. When I mean boring that's not what I had in mind about thinking outside the box." Weiss said before looking at Daphne's hair. An idea came to her.
"I have an idea." Weiss said.
"Sure! I'm all ears." Daphne said, eager to hear Weiss' idea.
Numbuh 3 was about as eager as Daphne was about this challenge, if not more. She frantically went back and forth, gathering many materials.
"Are you sure we need this many things?" Luz asked, looking at the pile of clothes, yarn among other things.
"Yep!" Kuki said.
"Okay. I'm just…. concerned is all. What exactly do you have in mind for me to wear?" Luz asked.
"You'll see. It's a surprise!" Kuki said.
***Confessional***
Luz(Fighting Lions):
"I'm trying to stay positive and have an open mind, but I just have a bad feeling. And it just won't go away. Hopefully, it's nothing."
***End Confessional***
Mabel had several materials too. The difference was Mabel and Anne were collaborating on what Anne should wear.
When Mabel proposed a sweater, both immediately rejected the idea, saying that it was "too boring".
"We have to get something, that will wow the judges." Anne said.
"Agreed! I want something that will knock their socks, shoes and their eyebrows off!" Mabel said.
Mabel then proposed a frog-like outfit. Both laughed at the idea and ultimately rejected it as silly as it was.
Though it was the base of their final idea. "Hey! I've got it!" Mabel said.
"No way, are you thinking what I'm thinking?" Anne asked.
"Maybe…" Mabel said, grinning.
Mabel quickly got to work.
Marinette was still coming up with ideas for what she should get Vegeta to wear.
"Well? Have you come up with anything yet?" Vegeta asked, sitting in a chair, arms folded.
"A few." Marinette said.
"Just let me know if you need to get anything. It'd be much faster if I got it than you. I want to get this out of the way as soon as possible." Vegeta said.
"Okay. Thanks." Marinette said, still trying to come up with the perfect idea that would not only wow the judges, but would be something that he would actually want to wear and he wouldn't get angry over. Vegeta was the last person she wanted to get upset. And she knew he would get even more upset if they ended up with a bad score on top of that, so she felt a lot of pressure to make sure she found the perfect outfit.
The next interviewee back at the aftermath show was already being interviewed.
"Yeah, but it's sooooo boring at times." Candy said after being asked about being a princess of a kingdom.
"That's why I came here. And I have to say, I'm not disappointed!" Candy said before looking as if she was daydreaming. "All of the malls! And a way for so many people to watch you or other people's lives! What was it called again?" Candy asked.
"TV?" Julie offered.
"Yes! This TV! I love it!" Candy said.
"Speaking of watching others, you've seen at least a few of the episodes of the season so far before this aftermath. Do you have any personal favorite contestants so far?" Julie asked.
"I thought you'd never ask! I have a few. Daphne, Weiss, but especially Brandy and Clover. They're like the other sisters I never had." Candy said.
"Wait, you mean you don't have TV where you're from? No wonder why it's so boring." Clover said.
"Can I say how much I'm flattered to be one of your favorite contestants?" Brandy added.
"Yeah, me too." Clover said.
"So as princess of a kingdom, you don't happen to have a prince do you?" Zack asked.
"No, I don't. But if I did, he'd definitely be a few years old than you." Candy said.
"I'm old enough! I just haven't hit my growth spurt yet." Zack said.
"I highly doubt that." Candy said.
"Oh yeah? Well just saying you're some princess isn't gonna cut it here if you're serious about winning. Ya got somethin' else you can do?" Eva asked Candy.
"Yes, actually. I am a proud Barbarian." Candy said declared confidently.
"Oh yeah? Show us the proof." Eva said.
"Sure thing!" Candy said before picking up the white table in the middle and tossing it out, sending it through a roof and making a hole in it. Much of the peanut gallery was shocked.
"Was that proof enough for you?" Candy asked.
"Yeah, I think that was proof enough. Who agrees?" Cody asked.
Courtney, Ezekiel, Tyler, DJ, Katie and Sadie all silently nodded, still in shock at what just happened.
"Totally awesome." Harold said in awe. "If I didn't already have eyes for someone else, I would definitely be in love right now."
"Good to know." Candy said sarcastically. She wasn't exactly thrilled to know that the people that were interested in her so far were either too young or looked like a geek, in the case of Harold.
"A princess with strength? Impressive, most impressive. If I could vote, you would have definitely earned mine so far." Azula said.
"I think we should get to the next contestant before something else gets smashed." Gorem said.
"Yeah. We definitely don't want the network calling about damages." Julie said.
"Well, that's all the questions we have for you today Candy! On to the next hopeful! Mandy!" Julie said.
Mandy, although a totally different one compared to the one that was already in the show, got on stage next. This one Though Clover recognized her, and wasn't too pleased about it either.
"What's she doing here?" Clover said.
"You know her?" Virgil asked.
"Yeah. She goes to the same school we go to back at Beverley Hills. And she should have stayed there." Clover said, looking as if she was about to blow a gasket as people clapped for her.
"She must really not like her huh?" Virgil said to Sam.
"That's an understatement. The two are arch-enemies. They compete in literally everything." Sam said.
"Yeah. She thinks she's soo great at everything when in reality, she's not." Clover said before calling out on stage. "NO ONE'S GOING TO VOTE FOR YOU! GET OFF THE STAGE!"
"Quiet! You're just jealous that no one claps for you!" Mandy said, grinning smugly.
"You'll have to excuse Clover. I've never known her to be so rude." She added which only infuriated Clover even more.
***Confessional***
Clover(Fighting Lions):
"She makes me soo angry. That stupid, no-good, cheating, attention seeking…." Clover continued with more insults but the confessional tape fast forwarded through all of the countless other insults she had until she stopped. "and did I mention that she's also a framing, scheming…." The confessional tape fast forwarded through again through several more insults "….thinks she can just walk in here and take easy street to try and win! That's just like her to not want to work for anything! Well guess what, she's got another thing coming! I hope no one votes for her! Do you hear me? DON'T VOTE FOR HER!"
***End Confessional***
"Well actually, what makes me great for the show the show is the same reason they got in." Mandy said, referring to Sam, Alex and Clover. "Except, I'm better at all of those things combined. I guess you could say, I'm a Sweden army knife." Mandy said.
"Swiss army knife would be the correct term." Harold corrected.
"Oops! My mistake." Mandy said, pretending as if she actually cared. "But in other words, I'm smarter, more athletic, more popular, prettier…" Mandy continued.
"Just look at her. Lying through her teeth. Does she really think people are stupid enough to fall for this façade?" Clover said.
"You've gotten my vote!" London Tipton said in the crowd on the far left of the front row of the audience.
"Thank you so much!" Mandy said. "That really means a lot to me."
"Apparently so." Sam said.
"Now, what was I saying before? Did I mention I was pretty already?" Mandy repeated.
"Hey, it's nothing to worry about. Remember she's only one out of many choices on the poll. The chances of her getting in are one in….. however many are on the poll!" Alex said, trying to be positive.
"Nothing to worry about? Her being here is a problem enough!" Clover said.
"What's the worst she can do? It's just an interview." Richie said.
Clover grabs onto Richie, which surprises him. "Don't you understand what's at stake here if she wins?"
"Uh, 300k?" Richie offered, just wanting to be put down.
"Well, that too but what about everything else?!"
"Everything else?" Virgil asked, eyebrow raised.
"What if she's on our team? What if she teams up with Heather and Vicky? She'll have her own team and then she'll try to team up on us and knock us out! If I get knocked out by her on TV, I'll never be able to recover from it! My reputation will be ruined back home!" Clover said, imagining her being laughed at by everyone in school, Mandy and even her own parents.
"That's a lot of what ifs. Remember that she actually has to convince people to vote for her. She's not the only one that's gotten interviewed." Sam reminded her.
"Maybe Candy can win, but please, you really expect me to put my faith in a couple of kids?" Clover said, referring to Zack and Cody.
"Uh, Clover, we're still kids." Alex pointed out.
"Aren't you supposed to be helping?" Clover said, turning to Alex and dropping Richie, causing him to fall to the ground.
She then turns to see that Mandy was still talking.
"Ugh, she's still talking? What could she possibly be talking about up there that needs her to be there for this long?" Clover commented.
"Yep! I'm totally fine. Thanks." Richie said, sarcastically getting up on his own after being ignored by Clover who dropped him.
"What are you going on about?" Clover asked Richie.
"Nothing. Absolutely nothing." Richie said as Mandy was finishing up.
"Thank you. I hope you all vote for me!" Mandy said as the crowd clapped for her. As she walked by Clover, she purposely stepped on her foot.
Clover sticks out her foot and trips her up.
"Clover! Why would you do that?" Mandy said aloud innocently.
"Give me a break. There are cameras everywhere Mandy. Drop the act." Clover said.
"Jealousy will get you nowhere Clover. Remember that." Mandy said, walking past.
"Try taking your own advice." Clover replied.
Raph was watching the whole thing a couple of rows back from where the spies were.
"Personally, I wouldn't be upset if a rival of mine joined. That just means I get to kick her butt in front of more people and prove why I'm better." Raph said.
"Yeah. She look like she fake anyway." Riley said.
"I get what you mean but no thanks. Dealing with Heather and Vicky is already a handful. Now we have to deal with another Heather." Dipper said.
Mac went to find Bloo, who was looking for more clothes. "Hey Bloo, I was just coming to see how you guys were doin-"
"Ahh!" Bloo said, before seeing it was just Mac.
"Oh, it's you. You scared me for a second buddy." Bloo said.
"Okay now that we have that established, what are you doing?" Mac asked.
"Oh, just getting an outfit to get sewn." Bloo said. It was a biker jacket with sunglasses and a cowboy hat.
"That actually looks pretty cool." Mac said.
"Thanks! Glad you like it buddy. I thought of it myself." Bloo said, before walking past him to go to Rarity, who was free as Ayame and Mystique Sonia were already occupied.
"Well that's nice. Where's Bridgette?" Mac asked.
"Oh, she said she was going to the bathroom." Bloo said.
"I'm gonna be honest though, it's kinda gonna be weird seeing her wear that. Thought she would have liked something else." Mac said.
"Bridgette? Oh no no no no no buddy. I'm wearing this." Bloo declared, pointing at himself.
"Wait, what? Isn't Bridgette supposed to come up with the idea if you're wearing the outfit?" Mac asked.
"Well, yeah but she decided to let me do it." Bloo said. This caused Mac to fold his arms, giving him a look that indicated that he didn't believe him.
"Come on Mac, what's got you making that face?" Bloo asked.
"You should know why." Mac said. "I refuse to believe that she would just let you do it. And even if she did, that's not what Chris said for us to do." Mac said.
"Well yeah, but how the heck is he supposed to know? He's not even here." Bloo said.
"So?" Mac said.
"Sooo it's fine! Besides, it's guaranteed to get us a high score! I mean you liked it!" Bloo said.
"Yeah it is cool, but that's not the point! You're just going to go out there with something that you didn't even let Bridgette give her input on." Bloo said.
"Come on, you act like it's cheating. Look, if it'll make you feel any better, I'll find Bridgette before the judging starts and I'll ask her. Is that alright?" Bloo asked.
"Okay. I guess that's alright." Mac said.
"Great! Now get back out to the stage and enjoy the show." Bloo said, almost wanting to push Mac out. As he was about to do so, he saw Bridgette coming back and immediately darted away.
"Human Torch, but you knew that already." Johnny said being interviewed before winking at Rally and Rouge.
"Great, another 'ladies man'." Rally said.
"I think my time as a hero speaks for itself as to why I should be here. Besides, if that poser can get in with that…. what was its name again? Heatblast? Then the real thing should be a shoo in. Gotta say, that name's lacking in the creative department." Johnny said.
"Poser? I'll show you poser." Ben10 said, already reaching for the Omnitrix.
"Human Torch isn't exactly world-changing either." Ben16 said.
"Burned." Hawkeye said.
"Ha ha." Johnny said, sarcastically laughing at his pun.
"You were merely adopted the heat. I was born in it, raised by it." Johnny said, quoting Bane from The Dark Knight Rises movie.
"You were raised by heat? Why do I not believe that?" Courtney asked.
"Okay, maybe I wasn't raised by heat, but it still sounded cool regardless." Johnny said.
Bridgette was backstage where Bloo was, who hid the outfit he had shown Mac.
"I saw Mac look as if he was backstage. Everything okay?" Bridgette asked.
"Yeah. He was just checking to make sure things were alright." Bloo said. "Which they were."
"Awesome. Now, let's get back to choosing which outfit you'll wear." Bridgette said before getting the designs of the outfits and continued showing them to Bloo. She wanted to make sure that Bloo was okay with one of the outfits before they were sewn to make sure no time was wasted trying to sew another outfit at the last minute.
Falcon already had his outfit sewn. Now was just a case of making sure it fit on him properly. Although Falcon wasn't too much of a fan of them constantly trying to adjust his outfit.
"Would you stop that? I'm fully capable of adjusting it myself thank you very much." Falcon said, annoyed.
"Yeah, but what if you mess it up?" Ayame asked.
"Look, I'm not going to mess it up. If I do that, we won't be able to win." Falcon said.
"Well, we can't be too careful. Now hold still." Ayame said.
Marinette was still trying to determine which design she was going to get Vegeta to wear. Although Vegeta was trying his hardest to be patient, it was wearing thin.
"What is taking so long?" Vegeta asked impatiently.
"Just a few more minutes. Just be patient a little longer! Please!" Marinette said, nervous.
"That's it! I'm going to see exactly what you're about to have me wear! I bet you're hiding it because it'll probably be something that looks stupid and it'll p[censored] me off!" Vegeta said, walking over to the desk Marinette was at.
Marinette tensed up. She didn't know what to do. Even if she tried to hurry and crumple up the designs, it would probably make things worse and make him even more mad as it would confirm his suspicions. She closed her eyes as Vegeta looked at them, waiting for him to explode.
"These are actually pretty nice." Vegeta said.
Marinette opened her eyes, not believing what she just heard.
"Huh?" Marinette asked, confused.
"These designs. They're well done." Vegeta said.
"Wait, you actually…. like them?" Marinette asked.
"Yes. Did you not hear me the first two times?" Vegeta said, not liking having to repeat himself.
"Oh, yeah. I did. I just…. don't believe-" Marinette said.
"Don't believe what? That I actually liked the designs?" Vegeta asked.
"Well…. yeah." Marinette said.
"I guess you thought I would get angry at you if I saw them. That's why you wouldn't show them to me earlier." Vegeta said.
"Wait, how did-" Marinette started.
"You thought I wasn't paying attention? I saw how you were looking. You were trying to stall. I don't know when, but I figured you had already finished when I saw how you were looking." Vegeta said.
"Yeah. I was stalling. I didn't think you'd like them." Marinette admitted.
"Well, I suppose you would have known that sooner if you would have just asked." Vegeta said.
Marinette was surprised by this too. Just simply asking Vegeta something? This can't have been real.
"We're partners right? I may not be as easy-going as Kakarot, but I'm not some monster. You can talk to me." Vegeta said.
Marinette regained her confidence. "Okay. So, which outfit do you like the best?"
Vegeta looked over all three designs again. "All of them are well-done. But I would say this is the one I favor the most." He said, pointing to the one in the middle. It was a blue suit with a brown necktie with white gloves. A hat and a cane were also drawn on the side with question marks next to them, meaning that Marinette wasn't sure if they would be in the final outfit or not.
"Why this one?" Marinette asked.
"It's simple. But it gives off a serious look. It's not loud, but sometimes, you don't need to be loud to impress someone or stand out." Vegeta said. "Why do you ask?"
"Just curious is all. I would have thought you would have gone with the warrior or battle suit designs." Marinette said.
"While it is true that I like these designs, considering that I am a warrior myself, I personally favor the more simplistic design of the suit the most." Vegeta said.
"Okay. I'll get started!" Marinette said.
"Wait. I have a question." Vegeta said.
"Sure! Ask away!"
"Can you make these in different colors?"
"Okay, which colors?" Marinette asked.
As Vegeta was telling Marinette which colors he wanted the suit to be changed to, Mandy was bringing back the clothes that were sewn by Mystique Sonia. It was a biker jacket with matching boots and pants. The boots had spikes on the top, with the belt on the pants also being spiked. The shoulders also had spikes on them.
"That's it?" Dan Mandel said, looking at the clothes.
"Look, I didn't make you look like an idiot did I?" Mandy asked.
"Good point." Dan Mandel said.
"Question, do you know how to ride a motorcycle?" Mandy asked.
"Wait, why do I need to know how to ride a motorcycle?" Dan Mandel asked.
"Grim, go get a motorcycle. Just a black one will do." Mandy said, seemingly not caring that he didn't answer the question.
"Okay." Grim said.
***Confessional***
Grim(Soaring Phoenixes….. technically):
"I know I've made a big fuss about having to get stuff before, but I'm actually curious to see where she's going with this."
***End Confessional***
"Yeah, we've gotten pretty far on progress. And as a plus, I got to meet some cool people here too so that's awesome." Spencer Wright said on the monitor overhead, as the Aftermath crew had called to ask about the progress they were making on the challenge they were in charge of.
"Any further details you can give on the challenge?" Julie asked.
"It's tempting to. But I think it's best if we leave it a surprise." Spencer said, smiling.
"Alright then! Thanks and good luck on the rest of the challenge!" Julie said as they hung up.
"And now for our first viewer call! Cody Jones!" Julie announced as a boy with red hair, wearing a blue futuristic suit, black pants and shoes was seen on the screen.
Caller 2: Cody Jones(TMNT 2003: Fast Forward)
"Hi Cody!" Julie said.
"Hey how's it going?" Cody replied.
"Yo! Cody!" Raph said, calling out to him.
"Raph! Just the turtle I was calling for!" Cody said.
"I haven't seen you in a minute! How ya been? Things at O'Neil Tech workin' out alright?" Raph asked.
"Great! And yeah, things have been awesome at O'Neil Tech." Cody replied.
"So ya been watchin' the show I'm guessin'?" Raph asked.
"Yeah. Once I found out you were in it, I just had to watch. And man, I have not been disappointed so far." Cody said.
"Where's Serling and those four knuckleheads?" Raph asked, the four he was referring to being the Dark Turtles. After their last battle with Cody's Uncle Darius, the resulting battle ended with the Dark Turtles staying with Cody at the penthouse, risking being found by Darius and killed if they decided to try and return to the sewers to live alone again.
"Did someone ask for me?" Serling, the robot butler and caretaker of Cody said, appearing on screen.
"Serling, what's up man?" Raph said.
"The ceiling. The sky." Serling answered.
"Still have that sense of humor I see." Raph said, grinning.
"Yes, I suppose so. Though, how come I'm not smiling or laughing? Especially with you or your other brethren being far away from here. Oh, that's right, there's four of you here that drives my circuits up the wall just as much. It's like you never left." Serling said sarcastically.
Just then, the four Dark Turtles all ran up to the camera, falling all over each other trying to get on the screen, knocking Serling out of the way.
"And just like that, I have summoned them here. What luck." Serling said.
"Guys! Calm yourselves!" A large, light blue turtle said, standing up. This was Dark Leonardo, the clone of original.
"Was just talking about you guys. Still training?" Raph asked.
"Yeah." Dark Leo said.
"But we haven't had much time to do that watching you on the show as of recently." Dark Donnie, a tall purple turtle said.
"You better win!" Dark Raph said.
"I'm definitely tryin' to do that." Raph said.
"Judging from how many are left right now, your chances are gradually increasing. Keep it up and your chances of winning are going to increase to-" Dark Donnie said.
"Chances schmances, just get back to the explosions and stuff. Those challenges were the best ones." Dark Mikey said.
"As you can see, he's a fan of the more dangerous challenges." Dark Leo said.
"Yeah, well, no danger here." Raph said.
"Which is exactly why this challenge sucks eggs! Booooooo!" Dark Mikey said, jeering before he was hit in the ribs by Dark Leo.
"Oh. Sorry." Dark Mikey said, realizing that he was being ribbed for being insensitive about the people that actually liked the challenge.
"Anyways, you can count on us to still be watching, good luck!" Dark Leo said.
"Same here. I'll definitely be front and center to watch you guys. I know I'm not the only one here that wants to talk to people so I won't try to take anymore time. Good luck! Be sure to kick some butt!" Cody said.
"Count on it!" Raph said, giving a thumbs up before hanging up.
"Those are clones of you and your brothers?" Yang asked Raph as the next callers was being brought up on the screen.
"Yep. They were once evil clones of us, used to take orders from this evil alien guy named Sh'okanabo and Cody's evil uncle Darius, the guys that but they were able to rise out of that. They may not be the best lookin' turtles, but they still kick butt. And they got a heart." Raph said.
"Yeah, they're not the best looking because they got their looks from you." Yang said playfully.
"You should look in the mirror yourself blondie." Raph said, joking back.
"I've been told different." Yang said. They both stopped when they heard Rick talking.
Caller 3: Jerry Smith(Rick and Morty)
"We're fine Jerry, that's all you need to know. Y-you see the TV right? You've been watching the episodes right? You can clearly see that we're not dead." Rick said to Jerry Smith, Morty's dad and Rick's son-in-law.
"This should be interestin'." Raph said to Yang.
"Yes, I know, I know, but actually talking to you is completely different than just watching you and talking about you." Jerry said.
"I just have to know Jerry, what exactly was so astronomically important that you decided to possibly take a call or call time from someone else, pick up that phone, dial the number and then call her to show up on screen?" Rick asked.
"Family, duh. That's all I wanted to do is just talk to you two for a couple of minutes. Where's Morty anyway?" Jerry asked.
"Hell if I know. He's somewhere in this place." Rick said.
"Rick, you are literally in the same place as my son. How in the world you not know where he is?" Jerry asked.
"I literally just said that he's somewhere in this place. Meaning that he's somewhere in this aftermath set." Rick said.
"I'm right here dad." Morty said, a couple of rows below Rick. He was next to Peter and Mariah.
"Hey son! How are ya?" Jerry asked.
"P-pretty good. I'm still here so that's all that matters." Morty said.
"Yeah. As evidenced by you talking to me, you're obviously not dead." Jerry said.
"What? No, I mean still in the show." Morty said.
"Oh. Right. Sorry, this show is probably one of the more tame things you and Rick have done so it's kind of weird knowing that sometimes the only thing you're in danger of being is just, well…. a loser." Jerry said.
"Well, I guess you don't have to worry ever worry about that Jerry." Rick said.
"Yeah, I guess not." Jerry said, oblivious to the fact that that was an insult.
"Speaking of winning and losing, are you winning son?" Jerry asked Morty.
"Well, I mean I guess, I don't know. I'm not in first, so I guess not." Morty said.
"That is true." Jerry said.
"Well if you knew that was true, then why the f[censored] did you ask that question then?" Rick asked.
"I just thought this would have been the perfect time to use that phrase." Jerry said. "I always wanted to use it, but considering that most of what you and Morty do involve something really dangerous, illegal or someone dying, I almost never can."
"Thanks dad, way to lay everything out." Morty said.
"Why do I get the feeling that I what I said wasn't exactly a good thing." Jerry said.
"I-it's nothing dad. I'm going to the bathroom." Morty said, getting out of his seat and leaving.
"Well, you got nothing else to talk to me about, sooo, you might as well hang up." Rick said.
"I'm sure there's something we can talk about." Jerry said optimistically.
"No, there isn't Jerry. Now if Beth isn't or my granddaughter isn't here to talk to me, then just hang up." Rick said.
"Summer? Anything you'd like to say to your grandpa Rick?" Jerry asked.
"Good luck Rick! And tell Morty I said good luck too. That and I'm sorry." Summer said, appearing on the screen.
"That's it? Nothing else?" Jerry asked.
"If I wanted to say something else, I think I would have." Summer said.
"Okay then." Jerry said, hanging up.
Although the Aftermath crew was already getting its next caller, Summer and Jerry were still talking.
"Great job dad." Summer said.
Jerry realized what he did and facepalmed. He immediately went to call Morty personally to apologize.
Morty, who actually was headed to the bathroom answered it.
"Dad, if you're-" Morty started.
"Son, stop. I know you don't want to hear what I have to say, but I mean it. I'm sorry. I know exactly why you were upset son." Jerry said.
"No you don't dad, stop it." Morty said.
"Yes, I do. You thought I was lying when I said I wasn't watching you? I was dead serious. I may not be the smartest guy in the world, certainly not smarter than Rick, especially considering that he lets me know that almost every single day, but if there's one thing I know about, it's relationships and life. When I asked you about if you were winning, it wasn't just at the game, it was at other things too. Life things." Jerry said.
"I still don't know if I'm winning at that either dad." Morty said.
"Well, all I can ask is that you do your best, alright?" Jerry asked.
"Sure, alright." Morty said.
"Love ya son." Jerry said.
"Love you too dad." Morty said as both hang up.
***Confessional***
Morty(Soaring Phoenixes):
"I know dad means well. But, yeah, this is something that I'm gonna have to go through myself. And…. I kinda overreacted too. I guess because I'm used to people that aren't my parents or Rick looking at me like I'm weird when that type of stuff gets brought up. It feels…. weird when people don't look at me that way I guess."
***End Confessional***
Back at the aftermath, Zoey was talking to Penny Proud, one of her friends, who was also promoting an ad for Proud Snacks, at the request of Oscar, her dad.
"That's it, right? That's all I have to say?" Penny asked Oscar.
"Yep, that's it!" Oscar said before appearing on screen himself.
"Good luck out there Zoey, I'd like to speak for all of us when I say that, because there's no way in the world I'm letting her actually go up there to compete." Oscar said.
"Oscar, get off the screen and stop wasting Penny's time. Let her talk to her friend!" Trudy, Oscar's wife and Penny's mom said off screen.
"Hey uh, you're gonna split some of that money up with us if you win?" Oscar asked Zoey.
"Oscar!" Trudy said.
"All right! All right!" Oscar said, giving in, knowing that the next thing was probably her forcefully pulling her away.
"Remember, you win, don't forget about us! And who helped you get there! Remember that cooking challenge!" Oscar called out.
"I guess it would be nice to split the money with you guys if I win." Zoey said.
"Zoey, that's your money to win. You got on the show to earn it for you. You don't have to do that, despite what daddy says." Penny said. "But we gotta get down to the serious stuff now."
"Serious stuff? Trust me, if I get to the merger, I'll be just fine, some of the people on my team are really nice." Zoey said.
"That's not what I meant Zoey." Penny said.
"Then….what do you mean?" Zoey asked, eyebrow raised.
"You know? Romance! Boys!" Penny said.
Zoey was surprised that Penny would be asking Zoey out of all people that type of question. "Oh! Me? No. Everyone's here nice, but I only see them as friends." Zoey said.
"Hey, that's cool too. Just as long as you're not sellin' yourself short. You got a lot of skills Zoey. A lot of things you don't give yourself enough credit for. And I really do mean what I said earlier. You win, it's your money. All of it." Penny said.
"Thanks Penny." Zoey said.
"No problem. What are friends for? Now go win the whole thing girl. I'll be watchin'. Later Zo." Penny said, waving.
"Bye Penny!" Zoey said, waving back.
"You got a really nice friend there. Don't lose her." Leshawna said to Zoey.
"I know. Penny's the best." Zoey said.
"Let's move on to the next caller! Ray Kon!" Julie announced.
Mariah gasped in surprise after hearing the name of who was calling.
Caller 5: Ray Kon(Beyblade)
"Ray! I didn't expect to get a call from you!" Mariah said.
"Of course! You didn't think I would miss the chance to get to talk to you would I? You're a White Tiger!" Ray asked. "I've gotten around to watching you in some of the episodes so far and I've been cheering you on the entire way."
"I must say though, I'm not too surprised that you've gotten this far." Emily Watson, a smaller girl with orange hair that spikes out at the sides wearing circular glasses said. Although she usually wears her signature PPB All Starz jacket, it was on the chair that was behind the two, leaving her only with a green polo shirt, a green shirt and tan-colored shoes.
"So what, you're not proud of her?" Tyson Granger asked, suddenly appearing on screen as well.
"Relax Tyson I didn't say I wasn't happy for her." Emily said. "All I'm saying is that with the challenges that they've been presented with so far, her skills have allowed her to do well. Maybe not excel or be the best, but she's done well enough to keep herself in contention." Emily said.
"I see. Well in that case, keep it up!" Tyson said.
"We're all happy for you Mariah, but I know you're capable of doing more than just this." Ray said confidently.
"Of course! I'm in this to win!" Mariah said.
Ray closes his eyes as he smiled. "I'd expect nothing less." He said before looking back up at the screen as he opened his eyes again. "I could tell you all what we're about, but I think it'd be best if you kept seeing it for yourself. Now keep showing them what the White Tigers are about! I'm sorry for not being able to watch you in all of the other episodes, but…. I'll be sure to do my best to see you the rest of the way. From now on, I'm with you every step of the way Mariah!" Ray said.
"Ray." Mariah said before blushing a little. "I'll be sure to do my best!"
Ray gives a thumbs up before ending the call.
"What a heartfelt call! Maybe this'll be the motivation she needs to propel her to winning it all!" Julie commented.
"And now for one final call before we get to the final segments of the day! From Woodcrest Maryland!" Julie announced.
Caller 6: Cindy McPhearson(Boondocks)
"Cindy?" Huey commented, eyebrow raised.
"Young Reezy what's up?" Cindy said, greeting herself to Huey, in her own "Cindy" way.
"Just chillin' in the aftermath right now." Riley said.
"Cindy, what do you want?" Huey asked, knowing that she wouldn't just call for no reason.
"I can't call my homie like damn!" Cindy said. "But for real though, I didn't really come here to talk to you. I just wanna tell Riley here that when he wins, he gives me a cut of that money."
"Why the hell would I do that? You want that money you come here and get that s[censored] yourself." Riley said.
"You owe me! I came to your house and recorded that f[censored]in' audition tape. I ain't have to do that s[censored]." Cindy said.
"Are all of those kids like that?" Leshawna asked Zoey who only shrugged.
"I ain't sign no contracts or nothin'. I still don't have to give you nothin'." Riley said, folding his arms.
"Okay, then we'll make a contract then. I'll be your agent." Cindy said.
"If you my agent, then we need to get some merch and s[censored] sellin'." Riley said.
"Aight, I got you. Oh and Heather, or whatever the hell your name is with the blonde hair, you a b[censored]. I can't wait till you get eliminated. You know what I wish I was there so I could beat yo a[censored] myself." Cindy said. Most of the crowd and peanut gallery gasped.
"What? I know I'm not the only one thinkin' that about her. I just said it out loud." Cindy said. "But that's it. I'll get that contract and the merch goin'. Later." She hung up.
"She's right though. I know I'm not the only one her that doesn't like her." TD Heather said.
"That's rich coming from someone that has people on their team already not liking you the second you joined." Heather Chandlers.
"And you think there aren't people on your team that don't like you? Get real." TD Heather said.
"Can we just agree that both of them aren't likeable?" Dipper said.
"Absolutely." Velma said.
***Confessional***
Velma(Fighting Lions):
"I don't exactly support this Heather joining our team. I would say she's a necessary evil to get rid of both Vicky and their Heather, but you could also argue that all we would need to do to get her eliminated eventually is to just keep winning. Regardless, I am interested in seeing how this will play out."
***End Confessional***
Eventually, Julie forced he two to stop arguing so the show could move forward. As never before seen footage was shown, everyone participating in the challenge was finishing up their looks. Everyone except for Kuki and Luz.
Luz was struggling trying to fit or move around in the rainbow-colored sweater she was wearing. She didn't want to say anything but if she wanted to win, she had no choice but to say something. She took a deep breath before saying, "Kuki, I'm gonna be honest here, this is not going to work." Luz said.
"You mean, you don't….. like it?" Kuki said, about to cry.
"No! No! No! I do like it!" Luz said, before trying to think of something else to not make her cry.
"It's just that-" Luz started.
"Just what? You think my ideas are stupid don't you?" Kuki said, upset.
"I don't think your ideas are stupid. I just think we should go with something else." Luz said, trying to think.
"Like what?" Kuki said, wiping her eyes.
"Well, why not do something with animals?" Luz suggested, remembering that she seems to talk about them a lot especially rainbow monkeys.
"Oooh I have an idea!" Kuki said.
Bridgette set down the outfit for Bloo to look at.
"Well? What do you think?" Bridgette asked. The outfit was a military style outfit with body armor and an axe and rocket launcher prop.
"It's cool! Great!" Bloo said. They had agreed on a "zombie fighter" outfit since that was something that Bloo was interested in when he first came to the island.
"Well then, you might want to try it on and make sure it fits. We don't have that long before the show is over it sounds like." Bridgette said.
"Yeah, I'll do that. I uh, could you give me some privacy?" Bloo asked.
"But, you don't-" Bridgette started before shrugging. She would want people respecting her privacy, so she should respect his. "Okay. Let me know when you're done." She left to go and watch the rest of the show.
Once he knew Bridgette was gone, Bloo quickly ran to Rarity.
"Hi!" Rarity said to Bloo.
"Hey, uh could you get this finished up for me?" Bloo asked.
"Certainly!" Rarity said. "I have to say this is a fabulous outfit. Your partner did a very good job."
"Uh huh yeah, just let me know when you're done." Bloo said before hurrying back to where the outfit that Bridgette got for him was.
The Aftermath show was already on the "That's Gotta Hurt" segment of the show.
Footage from Virtual Fighters Round 1 Plays
"Attack!" Ed said before constantly slamming Hun with a bench.

"You're not dead, it's V- oh never mind." Sam said before immediately attacking him. What he didn't expect was for Homer to bounce off the wall as if there were ropes and hit her as if he was performing a wrestling move, comically getting rid of over a third of her health.
Footage from Virtual Fighters Round 2 Plays
Oh yeah well stand still and we'll find out." Rigby said.
Rigby ran at her as she stood still before getting accidentally knocked away by a dinosaur.
"AHHHHHHHHHHHH!" Rigby screamed as he was knocked into the air, never to be seen again. Literally, because the accidental hit was strong enough to knock him out of the game.
Footage from TDKO(Total Drama Kungfubot Offensive) Plays
"My super's charged! Awesome!" Izzy said. She then quickly unleashed the super. It was the home-made fire starter made from tree sap. It caused a massive explosion, which surprised everyone. Thankfully, while the set was toast, neither contestant was.
Footage from Showdown! Plays
"FIRE!"
Hawkeye and Rally shot each other again. They both hit each other in the face again.
"AHHHHHHHHH!" Hawkeye and Rally yelled out before Rally accidentally shot again. And being unable to see, shot Hawkeye in a place that was worse than getting hit in the face.
"AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!" Hawkeye screamed, even louder which caused everyone to cringe at what happened. Scooby covered his eyes.
Footage from Sam and Max Freelance Boot Camp Plays
"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.
"And that's all of the most painful moments so far! Tune into the next aftermath where there's bound to be even more, and possibly even more painful, moments in this exciting season!" Julie said.
Chris appeared backstage. "You've got 30 minutes! Hope you guys are finishing up!" Chris said.
"Yep! We're just about done Chris!" Mabel said, giving a thumbs up.
"I hope so. Looking forward to seeing what you guys have got in store." Chris said.
"And that's the end of the show! Remember to make your picks on the poll! And also, don't forget, the Fashion Challenge starts soon so be sure to stick around!" Julie announced.
"And this is when I take the reins again." Chris said, getting a microphone. "We'll take a short break! Then, we'll introduce the judges for the talent show before it begins!" Chris announced.
*Commercial Break*
The Multiversal Nexus: It's no use!
Chris Thorndyke, Sakura Haruno and Aqua were all standing before a mechanical silver hedgehog as a large bald man in a red jacket and a bushy mohangy-colored mustache observed from a round-shaped mech. They were all in a grassy area where several dandelions were. A waterfall was also in the distance.
"This is all this place has to offer to try and stop me? Conquering it will be easier than I thought." The man said. This was Dr. Ivo Robotnik or also known as Dr. Eggman.
"Not even close. But we're all that's needed to deal with you!" Sakura said.
"You've been stopped before Eggman and you'll be stopped again!" Chris said.
"Please. If you really wanted to stop me, you should have called Sonic. There's absolutely nothing any of you can do to stop me." Eggman said. "Now, destroy them!" He ordered to the metal hedgehog.
"I'll finish this quickly!" Aqua said before running at the metal hedgehog that was just standing still.
"Your machine is no match for the power of a god! With this attack, it'll be sent to pieces with one blow!" Aqua said, running at it only for the silver hedgehog to grab her staff, and slams her into the ground a few times before tossing her away.
"What the- how did it do that?" Chris said.
"Easy! This contraption is based off of the real Silver! Which means, he has all of his powers, including his psychokinesis! The ability to move objects and people at will! Observe!" Eggman said as it lifts up Chris and sends him away as well.
"Psychokinesis or not, I'm not losing to you!" Sakura said. She sends rocks along the ground to attack the metal Silver, but it simply floats out of the way with the thruster on its back and then tosses Sakura too.
"Did I mention that like Silver, it can also fly?" Eggman said.
"I won't give up! Take this! God blow!" Aqua announces as she runs at it again only to be picked up and thrown again.
"YAHHHHH!"
"It's no use." Metal Silver said. "None of you are capable of stopping me." He said before lifting up rocks to crush them all.
"That may be true, but, look at it this way, you three proved to be useful after all. You got to be the test subjects for my new creation! And you'll be the first to be destroyed by it!" Eggman said.
"Hey Eggman!" A voice said. It was Sonic! And with him was someone Aqua knew all too well. It was Kazuma!
"Kazuma!" Aqua said. Along with him was Darkness and Megumin.
"Sonic. And it seems you've brought some companions with you." Eggman said.
"Yeah. And I guess for you it's a case if you can't beat 'em, copy 'em!" Sonic said, noting the Metal Silver.
"Sonic!" Chris said.
"Hey! Get out of here kid, you'll get yourself hurt!" Sonic said.
"You came right on time." Chris said as Sonic dashed to him to make sure he was alright.
"Yeah. You were one second away from being the middle of a rock sandwich." Sonic said. "I don't know who you are but that was dangerous. What were you thinking trying to fight him?"
"You don't recognize me Sonic?" Chris said.
"Sorry, you don't ring a bell. You gotta be mistaking me for another hedgehog." Sonic said, not recognizing him due to being from another universe. "One of you go and get him out of here, we'll take it from here."
Sakura was the one to take him.
"All right Eggman, let's get this over with." Sonic said.
"My thoughts exactly." Eggman said before Metal Silver sends rocks at everyone's way.
Megumin began to gather energy. "A destructive force without equal! With this, your evil creation will be no more! Strike forth!" Metal Silver lifted her and tossed her away as well.
"Fool! Did you really think I would just allow you to do that?" Eggman said.
"Megumin! I'll avenge you!" Darkness said before trying to attack the hedgehog. But because of her terrible accuracy, she wasn't even close.
He tossed her away fairly easy.
"Is this all your little party has to offer?" Eggman taunted.
"Believe it or not, yes." Kazuma said, exasperated before turning to Sonic. "You seem familiar with him. This thing must have some sort of weakness, right?"
"Yeah. The real Silver can lift objects or people at will. The problem is, this copy is basically fresh out the box."
"Which means it's not tested right?" Kazuma concluded.
"Now ya got it." Sonic said. "I can distract it. Then, you'll have to take care of the rest."
"Right." Kazuma said.
"Please! Allow me to be the distraction!" Darkness said to Sonic.
"You sure?" Sonic asked.
"Yeah. She's an….. expert at this sort of thing." Kazuma said, leaving it at that.
"Whatever plan you have it isn't going to work!" Eggman said. Metal Silver grabs Darkness, who allowed herself to be grabbed before he tossed away. He then picked up Kazuma.
"Woah! Woah! Oh no!" Kazuma says before being tossed away.
Sonic landed a clean hit but this gave Metal Silver the time it needed to grab Sonic as well and knock him back.
"I told you it wasn't going to work!" Eggman taunted.
"This guy is annoying. He's not even really doing anything." Kazuma thought. "I've got it!"
"How are we supposed to stop that thing?" Darkness asked Kazuma.
"Easy! We go after the man that made it. We stop him, we stop it." Kazuma said.
Both Darkness and Aqua tried to attack Eggman.
"What the-" Eggman said.
"Time to finish it!" Aqua called out before arms extended and grabbed Aqua.
"Help!" Aqua called out, trying to get free. Darkness was also grabbed.
"You're nothing more than nuisances! All of you! Once Sonic is dealt with, my conquest begins!" Eggman declared.
"Yes! That's right!" Darkness said.
"What are you clamoring on about?" Eggman said to Darkness.
Kazuma got onto the windshield, surprising the doctor.
"Get off!" Eggman said, trying to shake him off but to no avail.
"Get him off of me!" Eggman ordered Metal Silver.
Metal Silver turns to try and lift him up only for Kazuma to fall and cause Metal Silver to lock onto Eggman instead.
"What? Put me down!" Eggman said before being tossed away. "NOOOOOO!"
Sonic took this as the opening he needed to smash and destroy the Metal Silver with enough force and speed to be able to smash through as he rolled up into his ball form.
When Eggman returned, his mech was damaged. "My creation! No!" He looks at Sonic and Kazuma, angry, but mostly at Sonic for destroying one of his inventions. Again.
"You'll pay for this! One of these days I will destroy you Sonic!" Eggman said before retreating.
Sonic turned to Kazuma.
"Thanks for your help." Sonic said to him.
"It was no problem at all." Kazuma said. "Sorry about those three. They can't be quite a handful to deal with." He said, a little embarrassed. Megumin was just getting up from off the ground after exhausting herself.
"Hey, don't worry about it!" Sonic said, giving him a thumbs up. "We still won, right? And let's face it, you guys helped out too. You figured out that Metal Silver's weakness."
"Yeah. I did." Kazuma said, smiling.
"Maybe we'll meet again. But until then, see ya later!" Sonic said, throwing the peace sign before speeding off.
"Man, it's crazy seeing him go that fast." Kazuma said, as he watched him speed off.
"I still can't believe I was powerless!" Aqua said.
"You're not powerless." Kazuma said.
"Really?" Aqua said, looking up at Kazuma.
"But you are useless though." Kazuma said, which caused her to collapse onto the ground, devastated.
"Come on, let's go, that's enough embarrassment for one day." Kazuma said, dragging her along. Though Darkness seemed to take pleasure at the insult.
"You're never one to hold back on your thoughts are you Kazuma?" Darkness said, grabbing onto him.
Kazuma could only sigh as he and his party began to search for their next adventure.

But if I had to be honest, he would have been a much better character if he would have actually been given things to do to contribute to the team. With how he was written, he really doesn't do or contribute much at all.
The Multiversal Nexus Short/Bumper: Move it Football Heads!
Helga Pataki was headed towards a candy store. As she was heading there, Arnold was talking to someone with brown skin and a bald head with glasses.
"Move it football head! You're in the way!" Helga said.
Arnold gestured for her to go through, not making a fuss about it at all. Though when she entered, there were several people blocking her way as well.
She noticed that all of them had a head shaped similar to Arnold's. She raised an eyebrow but didn't question it and shoved the first one out of the way, who was wearing a red sweater. This was Nigel Uno, otherwise known as Numbuh 1 of the KND.
"Hey!" Numbuh 1 said.
"Out of the way!" Helga said, pushing another down, this time it was a girl wearing a pink shirt with black hair in a bowl-cut.
"Dios mio!" She said, dropping her lollipop.
She goes to a shelf, but sees that a small boy with the same shaped head as the others she went past or pushed over had. She wasn't about to wait so she knocked him down too.
"How many of you football heads are there?" Helga commented.
"How dare you! I will find out where you live and kill you!" Stewie said, threatening her, though her threats were ignored when he realized that she was already gone. Before he could catch up to her, she had already bought the candy she wanted and left.
"No one walks out on me!" Stewie said angrily. Though his ranting would go unheard.

Total Drama Short: Mabel's Makeovers: Mandy
Ruby, Mabel, Kuki, Lindsay and Spongebob all went to visit Mandy who was reading under a tree.
Mandy simply put down the book and looked up when she saw the five standing over her.
"Want a makeover?" Mabel asked.
Mandy raised an eyebrow.
"You're almost never smiling, so we thought that maybe giving a makeover would make you happy!" Lindsay said.
"It'll be fun!" Spongebob said.
"Pleeease?" Kuki asked.
"I'm gonna go in the cabin and get something. I'll think about it while I'm looking." Mandy said. She went in the cabin and closed the door. The problem was, several minutes passed and she never came out.
"Mandy! You okay in there?" Ruby asked.
"Yep. Still looking." Mandy said, on one of the beds, reading.
Several more minutes passed.
"Maybe she's still looking?" Lindsay proposed.
"Maybe." Mabel said before thinking.
"Ooh! Let's see if Dan wants to play!" Kuki said before they all left.
Mandy continued to read.
The Multiversal Nexus: Wimps VS Bullies: Danny Cooksey Edition A/N: This short was inspired by
PrincessCallyie's fanart of the four characters on Deviantart.
Brad Buttowski and Francis Stone or also known as the supervillain Hotstreak were walking on the sidewalk only to be bumped into by Jack Spicer, who was having a long(and friendly) conversation with Dave the Barbarian.
"I really think you should follow up on that librarian thing. Look at me, I'm an evil genius." Jack said.
Hotstreak wasn't exactly happy about this and picked Jack up. He looked at his outfit and wasn't exactly a fan of what he saw.
"You remind me too much of that nerd Virgil. And I'm not exactly a fan of nerds." Hotstreak said igniting his free hand.
"No, no please! Put me down!" Jack said.
"Woah, Francis, dude. You might wanna back off man." Brad said, referring to Dave. Hotstreak looks at Dave who was bigger than all of them.
"Yeah, you're right. He's not the problem. That guy is." Hotstreak said.
"Alright big guy, up for a fight?" Hotstreak said, challenging him, igniting both of his hands in fire.
"Can't we just talk this out in a less violent, peaceful way?" Dave asked.
"You can't be serious." Hotstreak said as Dave continued to back away.
"Apologize to Jack!" Dave said.
"Or what?" Hotstreak challenged.
"Or… I'll get Lula to fight you! Lula!" Dave said, holding out the sword.
"News flash, when have you ever seen a weapon be effective without a wielder? Oh that's right, NEVER!" Lula, the talking magical sword said.
"HAHAHAHAHAHAHA! This guy's a wimp!" Brad said, laughing.
"You don't have to be so mean about it you know!" Dave said.
"I'm not even gonna waste my time on you two losers." Hotstreak said, turning around.
"Even my dillweed of a brother is tougher than you two and you're like, uh… ten times his height!" Brad said, although his estimation was completely off before walking away with Hotstreak.
"Yeah well, you're the losers!" Jack said.
"Hey why didn't you pound those guys?" Brad asked Francis.
"Because I'm actually embarrassed that they sound like us. I don't want anyone confusing us for those two at all." Francis said.
"Yeah, I think it's obvious which two are cooler. Yeah Brad!" Brad said.

The Multiversal Nexus Short: The Spectacular Spider-Chair
A Green Lantern, also known as Hal Jordan and one of multiple guardians of Sector 2814 AKA planet Earth, was stopping to get something quick to eat before heading off to a mention that required him to go off world. John Stewart, another Green Lantern that protects Earth would be there so he wasn't too concerned about leaving and going here, stopping at this strange planet before getting back on course. Little did he know would he be behind Spider-Man to take an order.
Spidey turned around. There was something about the person that was behind him that he didn't have a good feeling about. He turned, about to get ready to fight him only to see the Green Lantern symbol on his chest. His eyes widened. A GL here? At a pretty random part of the afternoon on a Saturday?
"Trust me, I'm just as surprised you." Hal said to Spidey.
They sat across from each other at a table, with the two(mostly Spidey) having questions for one another about their superhero lives.
"So does that actually work? The mask?" Spidey asked.
"Yeah, it actually does." Hal said. "John didn't believe it would work himself. But, here we are. Secret identities' still safe and sound."
A chair comes from out of nowhere, bounces off a sunshade and then lands perfectly before continuing to move on the ground, rather…. quickly for a chair. "Suzume, let's go!" The chair said. This was actually Souta Munakata, who was turned into the chair by a cat named Daijin.
A girl wearing a white Japanese school uniform with two green stripes on the sleeves, a green skirt, black mary jane shows with matching knee socks and a thin stringed red bowtie tied together and black hair tied in a ponytail was running after it, trying to keep up. "Slow down! I'm hungry!" The girl said, having to try and dive and grab the chair just to get it to stop. She looks up and sees Hal and Spidey looking at them.
"Suzume, let go! We need to keep moving!" Souta said.
Suzume grins at the two, trying to save face as if a chair didn't just talk in front of them.
"Suzume!" Souta said.
"Hey, it's alright." Hal said.
"Don't know what's going on, but trust me, I've seen some weird things." Spidey said to her.
Suzume sighed.
"Please try to be quick." Souta said to her.
As Suzume got in line, Spidey and Hal looked at each other and could only shrug, but they were thinking how strange it was that the chair sounded like…. them? Especially Spidey.
Eventually, Suzume and the chair were off once again, with Souta picking up right where he left off, showing a lot of his acrobatic skills, even as a chair, jumping from building to building and landing perfectly on the ground when necessary.

*End Commercial Break*
"And now back to the show! Before we start with the challenge, let's introduce out judges!" Chris announced.
"First up, the fashion designer of her family of 9 other sisters and a brother, Leni Loud!"
"Wow that's a big family." Doyle commented.
Leni waved to the crowd.
"I have to say, it's so nice to be here." Leni said. "Question though."
"Yep?" Chris said.
"If this is aftermath, isn't the season over?" Leni asked.
"Nope. Aftermath is just another part of the season. Eliminated contestants, should they choose to, go here to watch the rest of the show." Chris said.
"Oh, okay! Still think it should be called something else though." Leni said, going to the judges' table.
"Next up, a student at the Westley School for the Performing Arts in Atlanta, Georgia, she plays the Violin and the Cello, Madison Spaghettini Papadopoulos!" Chris announced as the crowd clapped for her.
"Oh, you can just call me Madison!" Madison said.
"Your middle name is Spaghetti? Are you Italian?" Leni asked.
"Oh no it's Spaghettini. And yes, I am part-Italian! How did you know?" Madison said as she sat down at the judges table.
"A lucky guess." Leni said. "But I just have to say that I absolutely love that dress." She added, referring to the purple dress with light purple and green flowers on them.
"Thank you! Yours looks nice too!" Madison said.
"Thanks!"
"Next up, Dimitri, the fashion all-star!" Chris said.
"First off, you did that all wrong! I am not just a fashion all-star! I'm a big man! With the juice! The muscle! Dimitri Lousteau! That's how you let it flow, bro!" Dimitri said. Unlike the others that were with him that were human, Dimitri was a slim purple iguana with reddish-brown eyes. He was wearing a green trench coat red deep red tank top underneath. He has a large blue crest that mimics hair, a blue "goatee", and a large gold chain around his neck with the letter "D" inscribed onto it, with two lines going through the letter to mimic a dollar sign.
"Uh, yeah sure." Chris said, not really caring. "Next up, the evil genius from Porkbelly! Eugene Hamilton!"
An out of shape, pale boy with brown hair and blue eyes and freckles on his cheeks appeared, wearing an all white outfit and pants with yellow stripes on the sides with the sneakers also matching with a yellow stripe. His knuckles and necklace has 3 "B"'s on them.
"That's Bling Bling Boy! BLING BLING BOY!" He corrected in an upset manner.
"Yeah, that's not what it says here." Chris said.
"I don't care what it says! You better not call me Eugene again or else!" Bling Bling Boy said.
"Whatever Eugene." Chris said.
"That's it! I warned you not to call me that!" Bling Bling Boy said, bringing out a disintegrator ray gun.
"Ooh! I like that necklace!" Madison said.
"Me too!" Leni said.
"I win, that's gon' be me lookin' like that." Riley commented.
"You certainly seem to live up to the name 'Bling Bling'. I can definitely dig it bro." Dimitri said.
"Why thanks. Now if only I could get Susan to give me these compliments. Speaking of Susan, if you're watching this, I love you!" Bling Bling Boy said.
"Next on the list of judges, the wannabe Powerpuff Girl from the City of Townsville, Princess Morbucks!"
"I am not a 'wannabe' Powerpuff Girl! In fact, I am a Powerpuff Girl!" Morbucks said.
"Again, also not what it says here." Chris said.
"You really think I care about what some stupid paper says? I am a Powerpuff Girl and you all will treat me as such!" Morbucks said.
"Yeah, that would be great. If I actually cared." Chris said.
"How dare you! I'll call my daddy on you!" Morbucks said.
"Sheesh, it's like Mandy but if she was younger." Sam commented.
"Doesn't help that she sounds like her too." Clover said.
"Precisely why I said that." Sam said.
"If you want to get paid, you'll get over there and get ready to judge. There's plenty of other people here that I can get to replace you." Chris said.
"Whatever. It doesn't matter anyway. All of these losers will probably have nothing but lame outfits anyway." Mandy said.
"I don't know. I have a feeling that some of them might have the juice, their own flavor. Maybe nothing as close to me, but good enough." Dimitri said.
"Did I ask for your opinion you-" Morbucks said before being interrupted.
"And finally! Our very own Chef Hatchet!" Chris announced.
"Alright! The contestants have five minutes before judging starts! The Phoenixes will go first! When I call the first name up, they need to be on stage in 30 seconds or they forfeit and their score is automatically a zero!" Chris announced on the microphone.
"Bloo, I think they're calling you first." Bridgette said, backstage.
"Don't worry, I got this. Go ahead and get back to front stage with Geoff. This is gonna knock everyone's socks off." Bloo said, basically pushing her out.
Bloo heads back to put on the clothes that he picked out and put them under the outfit Bridgette picked out.
"You're gonna do great Falcon, I just know it." Ayame said.
"Yeah. Rouge is gonna be surprised for sure." Falcon said, a remark that Ayame didn't exactly like as she had an annoyed look on her face.
"And what about the rest of your team?" Ayame asked, trying to remain calm.
"Well yeah, of course. But it's not every day that the others that are here are gonna see me looking like this." Falcon said.
Ayame could only sigh.
"Falcon and Spongebob! You're up first!" Chris said.
"Good luck out there!" Spongebob said.
"Yeah, hope you do awesome!" Ayame said.
Falcon turns and smiles at them confidently. "Thanks." He said.
Falcon goes out on stage, he was wearing a pair of red dinner suit trousers with matching red suspenders and cummerbund with a white dress shirt frilled at the placket. The bowtie was also red and his dress shoes were black(A/N: Think of Dudley's Outfit From Street Fighter but red). His boxing gloves were also red.
Falcon had a rose in his mouth as he walked before grabbing it and tossing it behind him. Sadie caught it who yelled in delight.
Falcon got into a boxer's stance after walking out on stage for everyone to see.
"A boxer, but with some class! Funky! Smooth! 10 baby! 10! 10! 10!" Dimitri said.
"I like it! Startin' off pretty strong so far. 10!" Chef said.
"I have to admit, it's a lot better than I thought the first thing would be. 7." Morbucks said.
"Wait, why a seven?" Gwen asked.
"I don't like that color on this outfit." Morbucks said.
"I've gotta agree with my man Dimitri on this one. 10!" Bling Bling Boy said.
"You look like a real gentleman in that outfit. 10!" Madison said.
"Definitely agree. The two things with boxing and the outfit clash but somehow you make it work. 10!" Leni said.
"57 out of 60 points for the first pair! The Phoenixes are off to a pretty fast start!" Chris said.
Falcon high-fived Spongebob.
"That was great!" Ayame said.
"Yeah, but we can't celebrate yet. That's only the first one." Falcon said.
"Mabel and Anne!"
Anne was wearing yellow knight armor with the visor off with blue accents on different parts of said armor.
"Knight armor! Cool! 10!" Madison said.
"The sword is definitely a nice touch. 10!" Leni said.
"Too medieval and clunky looking. Though, I suppose I can give points for subverting my expectations. 5!" Morbucks said.
"Not bad. But it should have been gold. 8!" Bling Bling Boy said.
"Creative. But, I was hoping for something more….. fancy. Stylish! You get my drift right? Not my taste, but I respect your flavor regardless. 7!"
"Interesting choice to go with. Not much else to say. 7!" Chef said.
"47! Not bad! Not bad at all." Chris said. "The Phoenixes lead by 10! Let's see what the next set of pairs have in store."
***Confessional***
Mabel(Fighting Lions):
"We were originally going to go with something more frog oriented, but we decided not to go crazy and overdue it. Not too bad!" Mabel said, giving a thumbs up.
***End Confessional***
"Dan Mandel and Mandy!" Chris called out.
"All you have to do is don't fall. That's it. I'm sure you can handle that. At least you better." Mandy said.
"Trust me, I can do this. I'm not stupid." Dan Mandel said. Dan moved up the bike enough for him to be seen outside by everyone. The bike was the only thing that was accompanying him. Though some parts of it actually lit on fire, something that Dan wasn't expecting. If he had to tell the truth, it actually scared him. But he tried his best to hide it for the presentation.
"Is that real fire?" Chris asked.
"Uh, yes." Dan Mandel said.
"Absolutely awesome!" Chris said.
"I like it. But points off for scaring me. 7!" Morbucks said.
"What? What kind of a stupid reason is that to take points off for? It literally has nothing to do with the outfit or the presentation!" Dan Mandel said.
"5! You're stupid for trying to question my ratings! Don't like them? Then do better!" Morbucks said.
"I'm not too bothered by the fire. But the bike is what makes it good. Without it, I would have given you a lower score. 9!" Chef said.
"I absolutely love the fire. Those are some awesome special effects. Though I feel like it's missing something. I just can't put my finger on it though. 9!" Leni said.
"I love it. Gives off that bad to the bone energy. A real tough guy. And the flames is just adding seasoning to the dish. But I need to see some emotion. You look like a tough guy but it doesn't feel like you're a tough guy to me. Be that actual tough guy, not some fake that looks like it to be down man. 7!" Dimitri said.
"Normally I would say that all of that black is too depressing, but it actually works here. Though I agree with Dimitri. You need some more emotion. 7!" Bling Bling Boy said.
"I like the bike! That's what makes it fun. 8!" Madison said.
"Fred and Ruby! You're next!"
Fred was wearing a partially unbuttoned shirt with black matador pants and matching loafers.
He also has a red cloth in his hand. Suddenly, a red tailwind with rose petals behind it appeared. It tried to go at the red cloth, only for it to miss as he pulled it away. He repeated this two more times before the cluster of rose petals engulfed him as it went upwards. Both were able to stick the landing, with Ruby in Fred's arms as he had a rose in his mouth.
Fred puts Ruby down and hands Ruby her cloak. Fred bows.
Everyone claps, including the judges.
"That was so cool! I loved every bit of it. Now if only there was matador music to go along with it. 10!" Madison said.
"I really liked how she was able to appear out of nowhere like magic! The roses too! Totally beautiful and definitely a ten!" Leni said.
"I have to agree. Though this wouldn't have worked if you didn't get someone like him to do this. Although, I am definitely the exception. Maybe I should try this with Susan. 10!" Bling Bling Boy said.
"The roses! The execution! The choice of choosing someone who I would imagine is irresistible to the ladies. Like me. You've got it! You've got it! 10!" Dimitri said.
"I have to say, yours was easily the best one here so far. Though I agree with Madison. It would have been perfect if you would have added some music. 9!" Morbucks said.
"You may not be able to hang on to a rope Ruby, but you and Fred got some skills here. 10!" Chef said.
"Was the thing about the rope really necessary?" Weiss commented.
"The Lions have now taken a four point lead with 106 points compared to the Phoenixes' 102!" Chris announced.
***Confessional***
Fred(Fighting Lions):
"It may seem like we practiced this beforehand. But we actually didn't." Fred said before letting out all of his excitement after what happened. "And I can't believe it worked!"
***End Confessional***
"Next up for the Phoenixes, Bridgette and Bloo!" Chris announced.
"Showtime." Bloo said before getting on stage, wearing both.
"Hi everyone! I know you're expecting just a zombie fighting outfit here, but that's not all you're gonna get!" Bloo said. He then took off the "zombie fighter" outfit. But when he did, the outfit he wore underneath fell off him.
There was a collective gasp of everyone watching, including the aftermath Crew, the judges and Chris.
Laughter proceeded to erupt, mainly from the spectating crowd.
"Look at that loser! Pathetic!" Mandy said.
"I actually kinda feel bad for him." Alex said.
"Yeah. I can't bring myself to laugh at the little guy." Clover said genuinely. "Unlike some people." She said, referring to Mandy.
"Wait! Wait! I can fix it!" Bloo said, putting on the cowboy hat and the jacket on, though it fell off him.
"I want to give you points for effort, but I can't judge any fashion when you're not wearing the clothes. Zero. Sorry." Leni said.
"What you were going to do seemed pretty interesting. But that's where I'd have to stop. 1." Madison said.
"Loser!" Morbucks said before repeating it, shaking her head each time as she did it. "Loser! Loser! Loser! Loser! Loser! Loser! Loser! Loser! Loser! Loser! Loser! Zero!"
"That was awful son! Zero!" Chef said.
"You messed up the flow! The mojo! Now I've got to get that judging swagger back! Zero!" Dimitri said.
"I'm not going to insult you." Bling Bling Boy said.
"Really? Thanks." Bloo said.
"That's only because they all already did it. Zero." Bling Bling Boy said.
Bloo walked off the stage in disappointment.
As Chris called Luz and Numbuh 3 to the stage, Bridgette and Mac headed backstage to where Bloo was.
While Luz went out to present her cat-like costume, Mac and Bridgette talked to Bloo.
"Bloo, what happened?" Bridgette asked.
"There was the clothes, *sniffs* and the Rarity, *sniffs* and the leather *sniffs* and the boots…" Bloo said before crying again.
"Leather?" Bridgette asked, raising an eyebrow.
"Bloo, what did you do?" Mac asked.
"Your best friend just got embarrassed and all you can think about is some stupid game? You are heartless Mac! Heartless!" Bloo said.
"Did you know Bloo had a second costume?" Mac asked Bridgette.
"No, I didn't." Bridgette said.
"Ugh, this is supposed to be a fashion show, not a sleepover! Zero!" Morbucks was heard saying outside.
"Well then, I'd like to see you do better." Bling Bling Boy said.
"I don't have to do better! I can pay someone to get me what I want! Just like I can pay you all to change your scores!" Morbucks said.
"Please, you're not even on my level." Bling Bling Boy replied, verbally and vocally dismissing Morbucks.
"Well if that's the case, then how come they're all changing their scores?" Morbucks asked as the others were changing scores for the money, even Dimitri.
"I'll pay you all double what she's playing if you bring back your original scores!" Bling Bling Boy countered. The others immediately started to change their scores back.
"I'll pay triple!" Morbucks countered back.
"Quadruple!" Bling Bling Boy said.
"Ten Times!" Morbucks said.
"Chris, I'll pay you whatever you want and cover some of your costs for another season, if you take the original scores and not listen to her." Bling Bling said.
"Have that money sent to me by the end of the day." Chris said.
"I'll send it now." Bling Bling said, getting on his phone to make a call about sending money.
"Hi, I'd like to make a…. 'donation'." Bling Bling said.
"Deal!" Chris said. "The original scores will be accepted! No changes will be made!"
"Ha! Top that! I guess I have 'Morbucks' than you Princess!" Bling Bling said although he was met with crickets.
"No? No one?" Bling Bling asked. Still crickets.
"I thought it was good." Yang said which caused Blake to facepalm.
"Thanks. At least one person has some sort of sense of humor." Bling Bling said.
"We do. It's just your puns aren't good." Zack Martin said.
"Just like your pickup lines won't be good enough to get you onto the show when I pay Chris to make sure you don't win." Bling Bling threatened.
"Sheesh, don't get on this guy's bad side." Cody Martin said.
"Luz and Anne get a respectable score of 45, increasing their score to a grand total of 151 to the Phoenixes' 103!" Chris announced.
"I went through all of that trouble drawing, thinking and planning and let you pick an outfit just for you to do that? I can't even…. Ugh!" Bridgette said, walking out the stage.
"Hey Bridgette, what-" Geoff started.
"Not…. a….. word." Bridgette said, which caused Geoff to immediately go silent.
***Confessional***
Bridgette(Soaring Phoenixes):
"I am so mad right now! I don't want to talk to Bloo for the next 3 minutes and 50 seconds! And even then, I still might not look at him the same way."
***End Confessional***
***Confessional***
Mac(Soaring Phoenixes):
"I knew I should have went to see what was going on when Bridgette was the only one out of the pairs watching with the crowd. But nooo, I had to be trusting." Mac said before smacking himself on the head numerous times. "Stupid! Stupid! Stupid! Stupid!"
***End Confessional***
"Vegeta and Marinette! Last two on your team!" Chris said.
Vegeta got on stage wearing a black suit jacket, a blue necktie and a grey vest with black dress shoes. When he stood and didn't do much after he went out to show himself, the judges waited, anticipating that the Prince of Saiyans would do something, but he didn't.
"What were you expecting a lightshow? Get on with it." Vegeta said.
"I must admit, the suit is nice. A step up from the last showing but that isn't saying much. 7!" Morbucks said.
"There is something about you that radiates….. cool. I can't put my finger on it. Your suit is definitely greasy sweet. 9!" Dimitri said.
"Impressive. Nothing much to talk about but I guess that's what makes it good. 8!" Chef said.
"I have to agree that there isn't much to talk about. But you didn't try to do too much impress us. You let the suit do the talking for you. 10!" Bling Bling said.
"I'll admit, I didn't expect a suit. But, I still like it. 9!" Leni said.
"Pretty good. Nothing too flashy, but that's okay! 9!" Madison said.
"And now last but not least, Weiss and Daphne!" Chris announced.
Weiss walked onto the stage. Her hair was curled inwards and wore a black bow under a pink metal bow. She also wore an off white old-fashioned styled off the shoulder blouse with frill flared cuffs that half covered her hands. Her dress was a short gray pinafore one with golden trim on the hem. Her socks were black knee socks, with matching shoes.
After seeing that she wasn't going to do much afterwards(for her, it was the reasoning of not wanting to accidentally hurt someone with her semblance), the judges began to give their scores.
"Not too bad. Really like the hairstyle. 8!" Morbucks said.
"I feel like you're trying to go for something….. the problem is I can't seem to figure out what it is. But I still like it though. 9!" Madison said.
"I really wish this one had a little more color to it. But I do like the hairstyle though. 7!" Leni sadid.
"Seem interesting. But if you're going for something, I just can't see it, sorry. 6!" Chef said.
"This one was…. okay. Nothing much to really talk about to be honest. 5!"
"Not much flavor with this one. But, to each is own. 5!" Dimitri said.
"I wanted to call it after Morbucks gave her thoughts, but I really wanted to hear what the others had to say. The Lions win the challenge!" Chris said.
"Hey Weiss." Gwen said.
"Yeah?" Weiss said.
"Were you going for something with this outfit?" Gwen asked.
"Yeah. It's not perfect, but this was what a friend wore. Even down to the hairstyle too. Daphne and Rarity helped out with it." Weiss said, referencing the android and friend to the team, Penny Polendina.
"Ah. I see. Now that is meaningful." Dimitri commented.
"Ohhh okay! Well then I love it!" Madison said.
"I totally get it now. I think. Is it really a rarity for you to get helped out on things?" Leni asked.
"I think she means the name of one of the sewers." Yang corrected.
"Oh! That makes sense." Leni said.
'I'll be seeing you all tonight at the elimination ceremony Phoenixes. Hope you've got your votes ready." Chris said.

"Phoenixes! You showed out! Or at least some of you did." Chris said, eyeing certain contestants. "But it wasn't enough! Which is why you're here. I want to remind you guys that today is a double elimination day. So, if one person gets voted off, the second person that was paired up with them also has to go. Just something for you to think about before you cast your votes. If you haven't already."
About a minute passed before everyone's votes were in.

"Homer!"
"Zoey!"
"Mariah!"
"Geoff!"
"Vegeta and Marinette!"
"Mandy! Dan Mandel! Bridgette and Bloo! You're the last two pairs left."
"Mandy! You came up with what Dan was going to wear, so obviously, you're liable for what he goes out there with and the score. But honestly, it wasn't too bad. And the bike flames on the bike? An absolutely awesome touch!" Chris said. "The bike alone deserves an award!" He tosses her an award.
"Bridgette! You really should have been back there to check on what your partner was doing and confirm that he was okay. You had plenty of time. But, regardless, you're safe!" Bridgette gets an award.
"Bloo! Dan Mandel! This is it! One of you goes, so does your partner! The final award goes to…."

"This n[censored] scored one point! Just give Dan the damn award already!" Riley said.
"He's got a point. This should not be that hard." Rick said.
"Okay fine. Way to kill the suspense. Here Dan!" Chris said, upset that he was interrupted.
Dan Mandel smiled at the award he held in his hand.
"Bloo! Mac! Bridgette! You're out! You too Geoff!" Chris said.
They all got their things.
"Come on, there's no hard feelings right?" Bloo asked. Bridgette looked at Bloo, frowning at him before getting in the lame-o-sine.
"Mac-Attack! Buddy!" Bloo said.
"Bloo, I really don't think this is the time." Mac said.
"Whatever. You guys will get over it. Once we get to the next Aftermath, you'll see." Bloo said getting in last. He closes the door as the lame-o-sine drives off.
"And that's the end of the second Aftermath! Where four Phoenixes have their dreams of 300k squashed in one day! Who will get their dreams crushed next? Will the next challenge be as verbally devastating as this one was with Morbucks? Or is it back to bone-crushing challenges? Find out on the next exciting episode of Total…. Drama…. Island! Multiverse Edition!" Chris said.
