Korpse's Earrings: Golden Skulltula Tokens
This episode, we start up the NES Triple Run!
Now you're playing with Power!
Chris is on the beach, giving the intro to the episode.
"Last time on Geeks Vs. Populars... Our contestants had to sneak outta class involving the most boring stuff that anyone could imagine. Afterwards, they had to dodge the various Truant Officers. Some feats of keeping them at bay involved cutting a bridge in half thanks to Benny. That... worked as well as you could expect. But Drake proved himself by saving the life of a Truant Officer after a hole opened up below said officer. And at the end, the Populars came out on top. But thankfully for the Geeks, it was a reward challenge."
"But how will everyone fair today? Will Verna go true to her promise to Steph? Will Drake get braver? And for the love of Oreo cake... Will someone tell Olivia that she is freaking CREEPY?! Find out today, on..."
"Total!"
"Drama!"
"GEEKS VS POPULARS!"
(Cue I Wanna Be Famous)
Powerhungry Polar Bears
Grace was gathering up some more fruit for the team, with Heidi and Korpse in tow.
"I'm quite surprised that this island's able to handle such delicious fruits." Grace said out loud. "You think the environment would wreck the fruits, though."
"Well, the world's a mysterious place." Heidi commented out loud.
"Yeah." Korpse also commented, as she looked around. "I saw some bananas up that tree, there."
Grace smiled. "Good eye there, Korpse. You've very sightful, whatever that means."
"It comes with playing games." Korpse replied. "You tend to look out for your surroundings more."
Grace then started to climb the tree, as Heidi looked up at Grace, and smiled.
"So, Heidi? Looking at a certain peach?" Korpse teased.
Heidi was suddenly shocked. "Um, what? I'm only keeping an eye out just in case Grace slips, I can catch her! That's all!"
Korpse looked at Heidi with concern. "Um, that's not all you were looking at. You can tell us if you want to."
Heidi then looked around, and got close to Korpse.
"Okay, but you shouldn't let anyone know this currently. Promise?" Heidi said out loud.
"I promise." Korpse replied, smiling warmly. "I bet my nose stud on that promise, as well!"
"Thank you... Okay... I'm actually... Bisexual. But I'm more into girls than boys, though." Heidi commented. "The football team in school tolerated my Bisexuality, though."
"Wow, cool." Korpse replied, smiling. "A fellow gamer I know of is Bi as well."
"Nice, but..." Heidi said out loud. "I'm kinda nervous... I'm... I... may be falling for Grace. But..."
She pointed up, as Korpse saw that Grace was busy grabbing some bananas.
"I dunno know how I can tell her." Heidi whispered to Korpse. "We're good friends, and telling this could..."
Korpse put a gentle hand on Heidi's shoulder. "Look, whenever the time is right... You'll find out when to tell her you love her. It may not be tonight or tomorrow, but someday."
"Wow... very nice advice." Heidi commented. "I always thought gamers would be yelling obscenities at each other for corpse killing and camping."
"Nah, those guys? They are NOT what I call gamers." Korpse replied back. "TRUE gamers look out for each other, even while the Spiny Blue Shells are whizzing past our ears. At the end of the day, gamers are practically family to each other."
"Yeah... True, that." Heidi nodded, as Grace hopped down.
"Got the 'nannas!" Grace said out loud, smiling. "Think we got enough fruit?"
Heidi and Korpse looked in their baskets of fruit.
"Yeah, I think we have enough." Heidi said out loud. "So, ready to head back to camp?"
"I'll be right behind you." Grace replied back, as Korpse and Heidi started to make their way back to camp.
Grace stayed behind, as she looked back at Heidi.
"I'm... flattered you like me..." Grace said to herself, with a blush growing on her face. "I... also... like you a lot as well, Heidi... We're like apples and oranges in a bunch..."
Drake and Stella were continuing to watch cartoons.
"Wow, Civilization Clash was interesting, to say the least." Stella commented out loud. "But, you said something about a cartoon being magical."
Drake smiled. "Just you watch." He said, as he removed the Civilization Clash DVD, and inserted a new DVD. After skipping the Copy Protection crap, he started with episode 1 of the series.
"My Little Pony?" Stella asked, as Drake nodded. "Hey, it's the show that had the song you sung to a few days ago! Though... I never watched it much before."
"I felt you would enjoy it." Drake commented with a smile.
"Still, I always thought this show was meant for little girls. Yet... I can't stop watching." Stella said out loud. Plus, Pinkie Pie's interesting.
"Yeah, but my fave would have to be Fluttershy." Drake commented.
The two continued to watch the show, with Stella touching Drake's hand. They pulled away with a slight blush growing on the two.
Twiggy was currently frying up some fish, all while doing some thinking.
"Wow... So far, I lasted 4, almost 5 nights." Twiggy said to herself. "Beat that, Freddy Fazbear. Still, a lot of things happened since last year."
She then looked down at her tattoo of a cookie on her stomach, and sighed.
"Mom... Are you still proud of me after I said those words about Lance?" She said to herself. "I know you raised me well, but I feel I'm kinda ashamed at what I did. I still miss you, though..."
She then rotated the fish on her frying pan, as she looked at her bag of cooking equipment.
"I wish I knew who swiped my cupcake can." Twiggy continued. "I wonder what they would do with it, anyway..."
She then looked at Thunder, doing a little fishing nearby.
"Still, Thunder... What can I say? He may be on the football team, but he's... different from any jock I know. For starters, he more than just a football player. Both of us share the same interests in cooking. Plus, he's... kinda cute."
She then looked at the food, and smiled.
"Well... Food's ready. Time to call in the squad." Twiggy commented to herself.
The Party Trio were setting up for their nightly party, as Ada looked at Nicholas.
"Wow, still lookin' good, Nick!" Ada said out loud.
"Yeah! My dad'll kill me for my new look, but I don't care!" Nicholas replied back, grinning.
"Yeah, live long and party softly!" Kade yelled out loud with a grin, as Ada and Nicholas were confused.
"Wait, what do you mean your dad would kill you for that?" Ada asked.
"Well... Dad's kinda a Governor, and I had a strict upbringing. I would always try to do my best in school, get straight As... He's pretty much education first and foremost." Nicholas replied back. "Mom, while less strict, was more lenient on what I could do."
"Gee, sounds like a tightwad." Kade said out loud. "Is he the reason our commercials are scary or insane as frick?"
"What do you mean?" Ada asked, tilting her head in confusion. "I don't watch TV much."
"Yeah, me either." Nicholas replied back.
"Still... WHEN. IN THE HOLY HOLE-FILLED JAMMY-JAMS. WILL WE EVER USE A WUNDER BONER?!" Kade yelled out loud.
Ada and Nicholas looked at each other, with confusion.
"Did I see Twiggy using one?" Ada asked Nick.
Nick was disgusted. "Ada, dude. TMI."
Verna was far away, while holding a black 3DS. She looked at it, and sighed.
"Korpse... I hate to do this, but... I've no choice." Verna said to herself. "Good thing I removed the SD Card and that game earlier."
She then tossed it onto the ground, and picked up some rocks, and began chucking them at it. While it made some scratches on it, she could see that it was still in operational condition.
"Crap... I forgot. Nintendo makes some really quality products." Verna said to herself. "Not even hitting it with a sledgehammer could do. Not that it matters; I can't lift one up that high, anyway."
She then did some looking around, and spotted what appeared to be a hole in a tree. She stuck the scratched up 3DS in the hole, and then buried the contents with some leaves.
"There. And since its colored black, she won't be none the wiser." Verna commented, as she made her way back to Steph.
Back with Steph, she smiled.
"So, did you destroy that gothic bitch's 3DS?" Steph asked.
Verna nodded. "Yeah, its done. It's joined up with the Virtual Boy in the Sky."
Steph gave Verna a glare. "Cut it with the geeky talk. Got it?!"
Verna nodded.
"Good. Now we wait. Korpse may not be so happy when she wants to play a game, but do I care? Nope!" Steph said, unknowing that the 3DS is still alive...
Confessional: Does the science still gets done and Verna makes a neat gun?
Steph: Aww, the fireworks will fly. Much like how I got the Anime Club banned from school.
Verna: Unknown to Steph... -She whistles the Captured Pokemon theme from Pokemon X and Y, as she holds up a Scott Idol- Found this baby in that tree. I'll keep it a secret for now.
Ada: Nick's Dad is a poopiehead. He wants to raise the tax for flushing toilets by 1 cent. Do we want someone controlling his son like that? Drake would approve that message if I told him.
Drake: Yeah, I might as well admit. I'm a Brony. I saw one episode of My Little Pony, and got hooked... My mom likes it, too. -He smiles-
Stella: Civilization Clash was interesting, as thus My Little Pony. We also watched some more cartoons together. Needless to say, I'm becoming a fan of them.
Grace: Yeah, I learned how to climb trees from my bud in a LGBT support group. She said that the best fruits were at the top of a tree. Thanks for the tip, Irene; I'll bring home some island "buttfruit" for you when the show's over.
Giggling Gryphons
Sting, Moana, and Cherri were sitting on the steps of their cabin, commenting about stuff.
"So, how many piercings do you got in your ears, Cherri?" Sting asked.
"Eh, about 24, give or take." Cherri commented. "In the past, I would get one if I did good in school, which I did. And in one instance, was free due to it being a free ear piercing with one bellybutton piercing day."
"Cool. I... Had all of mine done in one afternoon." Sting said, smiling.
"Also, you already know about my tattoos. I've got 8 so far." Cherri exclaimed. "And I plan on getting more. Bug themed, or course."
"I couldn't take pain like that." Moana commented. "Sure, I would like a dolphin on my upper back, but its the pain that I can't take."
"I know these guys at my local parlor." Cherri said out loud. "Maybe they can set you up?"
"Um... I'll think about it." Moana replied.
"Cool!" Cherri exclaimed out loud. "I think I can see a jellyfish going up your leg!"
"Um... Nothing TOO fancy, please." Moana replied back.
"What if its a box jellyfish?" Cherri asked. "They're tiny enough and a quick ink job!"
"Also, is it me, but is Olivia a bit... creepy?" Sting also asked. "The girl tried to make foot fungus outta my sweaty feet."
"Eew..." Cherri replied back, a little disgusted. "That's just... That's just wrong, man."
"Still, should we worry about her?" Moana asked.
"Well, I think she should be safe... For now." Sting replied. "But if she starts collecting samples of my eyeliner while I sleep..."
"Pfft, like that'll happen." Cherri commented. "You brought a lot with you, though."
"Enough for me to last the season, and then some!" Sting said, grinning.
In a cave far from camp, Olivia was setting up her jar with Sting's foot fungus in it. It was growing rather rapidly.
"Wow, it seems to be growing a bit faster than usual." Olivia commented to herself.
She then looked around, as she opened up the jar, and scooped up some of the fungus with her finger. Screwing the lid back, she looked around again, and licked the fungus. After a few moments of tasting it, she smiled.
"Oh my God... It... tastes like the deceased! Ooh, he's so perfect and dreamy and perfectly dreamy!" Olivia exclaimed out loud.
She then reached into her knapsack, and pulled out samples labeled Duncan, Alejandro, and Scott next to Sting's sample.
"Comparing the other samples to Sting's... They do not compare. At ALL." Olivia said to herself. "Still, I remember the day Alejandro's bubble popped and he fell into the swimming pool. I had to fringe on some copyrights just to attempt to keep him from leaving! ...No wonder I'm not allowed to enter the Hammer section of the local store, anymore."
With Benny, he was playing some Ocarina of Time on his 3DS, and getting frustrated. Nelson was watching Benny play.
"Augh! Bloody Water Temple!" Benny yelled out loud. "What kinda sadist MADE that temple?"
"I dunno." Nelson commented. "Maybe someone was having a bad day? Someone ate their box of Pocky they were saving for later?"
"Yeah, I would have to go online to beat this blasted place. But being there's nothing I can connect to, and I forgot my strategy guide at home..." Benny said out loud.
"Well, let me help you out." Nelson replied.
"Knock yourself out." Benny said, as he gave Nelson the 3DS. He then watched Nelson blaze through the temple like he knew it on the back of his hand. "Okay, how?"
"Well, I do play some games outside the cuteness genre." Nelson commented. "Zelda, being one of them. I always thought Malon was kinda cute."
"Not as cute as a certain gaming goth girl, huh?" Benny smirked back.
Nelson blushed. "Well, you hang out with Cherri all the time."
Benny blushed back. "Y-Yeah... She's tough and dresses rebellious, but she's one of the nicest girls I met."
"Guess we are both attracted to dark-dressed beauties, huh?" Nelson said back.
"Yeah, we are, Nel..." Benny replied.
With Xantara and Ron, they were at the beach, looking out at the waters.
"Its such a nice night." Xantara said out loud. "So warm and peaceful..."
"Yeah..." Ron replied.
"And the waters are perfect." Xantara commented with a warm smile. "I'll be back."
Xantara ran back into the cabin, and after a short while, she came out, wearing a floral patterned swimsuit, which also showed off her midsection. She also had tulip themed swimming trunks. Her jewelry was also off, sans her earrings. She was running towards the shore.
"Last one there is an Overcast Sun Saluation!" Xantara shouted out with glee as Ron kept on standing there. She then stopped, as she looked at Ron.
"Ron, you okay?" she asked.
"Um..." Ron replied back. "Nice tattoo."
"Ron, I know its nice. It represents the New Age lifestyle. But seriously, what's going on?" Xantara asked.
"Its that..." Ron mumbled, as he started to remove his hoodie. "You won't like what you're gonna see."
Ron then removed the rest of his hoodie, as Xantara was shocked.
His hair was unkempt and really wavy, and there were some short spots. There also appeared to be a brown glass spot in it, too.
"Oh, my... You... got glass in your hair!" Xantara said out loud. "What happened?"
"Well... a beer bottle fell on my head." Ron lied. "I tried cleaning the wound, but it... Yeah."
Xantara looked at Ron's hair again, and started to remove the glass spot from it. Once it was removed, she smiled.
"Well, there's a chance your hair can be saved. I have a tea that can help with growing your hair back a bit, once I do a little up-keeping. You want a sip later on?" Xantara asked.
Ron smiled slightly. "Yeah. That would be... Nice."
"Glad to hear it." Xantara replied with a warm smile.
"So..." Ron said out loud. "When did you get the tattoo?"
Xantara smiled. "Around my 16th birthday. Like I said, it represents my lifestyle."
"Go on..." Ron replied, interested in her lifestyle.
Mozart was fixing up ice cream scoop that he used in Episode 2, as Yentoulis walked up to the inventor.
"Okay... What... The HELL... Did you borrow GENKI for?!" Yentoulis yelled out loud in rage.
"Excuse me?!" Mozart snapped back. "GENKI came to me first!"
"Well, she was talking about some I chemical that I can't pronounce." Yentoulis replied.
"Well, have you even thought of how GENKI's completely feeling, hanging with you?" Mozart asked out loud. "Honestly, she seems upset."
"Pfft... What would a stoner like you know about women?" Yentoulis replied back. "Oh, that's right: NOTHING!"
"Well, I don't see any girls wanting to crush on you!" Mozart said right back.
Yentoulis looked butthurt. He quickly shook that off, as he glared at Mozart. "Well, it's early on! So HA!"
Yentoulis then walked off, as Mozart looked at a nearby GENKI. "Hey, you doing okay?"
"Yes, I am..." GENKI replied back. "Master Yentoulis is the best. And I shall continue to serve him and his every way."
"Um, GENKI?" Mozart asked, looking concerned. "I don't think Yento cares for you at all."
GENKI looked at Mozart with disapproval. "Please, call him Yentoulis. He gets upset if his name is shortened."
"I see..." Mozart said to himself.
In a dungeon keep, Ellis was sneaking through the damp and dank halls, watching out for any baddies that could be hounding him.
"Okay, buddy. Go for the bait." Ellis said to himself as the baddie fell into the trap, with a death yell. "Perfect-o."
Running through the halls (and leaping over the trap), he could feel he was getting close to the exit, as...
"Halt, prisoner!" One of the baddies yelled out loud.
Ellis turned around as he could see a human looking more like a scorpion, sneering down at the liar. The first baddie started to run towards Ellis, and the 'manscorpion' was running towards Ellis, as...
"S**t, I aggro'd this lot. Welp, when in Rome." Ellis said, as he did a spell, causing himself to disappear. The baddie and manscorpion didn't stop in time, as the baddie got impaled by the stinger of the scorpion.
But Ellis wasn't done, yet. He charged up a Fire spell and tossed it at the Manscorpion, lighting him and the baddie on fire. Both of the baddies were soon incinerated. All that was left was ashes.
Ellis grinned. "I just lit up the world. What a joke!"
Ellis then could hear some growling, like it was mad at the liar. He turned around to see what appeared to be a dragon, glaring down at him.
"Well, I dealt with dragons before. This shouldn't be any problem." Ellis commented. "Ice!"
Ellis shot what appeared to be a giant icicle at the dragon, but he batted it away with his wing. He then gulped.
"Welp, I'm in trouble, now." Ellis commented.
"That you are, brave wizard." Marissa said in character. Ellis and Marissa were actually playing their game. "Now, the dragon aims his flame at you. Roll a die to see if you dodge the flame."
"Still, I don't know how that ice spell didn't work..." Ellis commented, as he rolled the die. "So... Guess I dodge the flame?"
"Yeah, you do." Marissa said, warmly smiling. "Still, good effort on using an Ice spell."
"I thought it would occur in this game as well..." Ellis replied, as the two of them giggled.
Confessional: Yeah, Pokemon Type Science doesn't work well in other RPGs.
Ellis: Okay, note to self; Ice moves don't work against non-Pokemon dragons... -He then thinks a bit- I wonder if I should use a Fairy spell next time?
Marissa: Well, I gotta give Ellis an A for trying. Plus, he got outta the dungeon, anyway.
Ron: Yeah... That beer bottle? I lied. It did involve a beer bottle, but not in the way you would expect. But Xantara's kinda interesting.
Xantara: -She's back in her normal outfit- Ron paid attention to every detail about my lifestyle. And to think he used to be a grouch. I may be turning him around.
Cherri: To be fair, my mom and dad's all punks, too. Mom's more interested in retro gaming icons for her ink, though.
Nelson: Hey, I'm always ready to help out a fellow gamer in need.
Olivia: Sting's foot fungus tasted like an aroma of sadness, inside that glad exterior. Well, he IS an emo. A hot emo. A super-hot, tasty emo. -She swoons-
Sting: ...Why do I get the feeling I should be REALLY disturbed by now?
It was late at night, and at the Popular's camp, Ada was in the middle of a dream...
It was a HUGE party, and Ada was invited.
"WOOO! Let's turn it up to 11!" Ada shouted out loud with glee.
"Yeah, Ada agrees!" One of Ada's friends yelled out loud.
"Now... To go up on stage, and dance the night away!" Ada shouted out loud, gulping some Mountain Dew and rushing onto the stage.
But during her dance, she couldn't see where she was going, and tripped over what appeared to be a wire.
"Whoa!" Ada cried out loud, as she started to trip off the stage, and onto the concrete floor, slamming into her arm in the process...
"Oww..." Ada groaned in pain as she passed out.
Ada woke up with a start.
"Whoa!" Ada cried out loud. She then looked around to see that she was still on the island. She then rubbed her arm.
"Well, its still operational." Ada commented to herself. "That's good for starters."
She then crawled out of her bed, and creeped over to where Nicholas and Kade were sleeping.
"Guys? Can you wake up?" Ada asked, trying to shake Nicholas awake. Soon enough...
"Ada?" Nicholas asked with a yawn. "What's going on? It's so late at night."
"Yeah, I had a nightmare, and I can't go back to sleep." Ada answered.
"Look, why don't we head outside and talk about it..." Nicholas replied back, as he slowly got up. "I'll wake Kade up. She may wanna hear this."
Now outside, with some hot cocoa in hand, the Party Trio were surrounding the small campfire pit that Twiggy set up for cooking.
"I don't think Twiggy would mind if we have some cocoa." Nicholas said, as he poured some into Ada's cup.
"Thanks, Nick." Ada thanked Nick, as she sipped some of her cocoa. "Okay. Now I'm ready to tell you guys about my leg. You know how I was unable to take part in the Japanese Challenge the other day, as thus me collapsing during the last challenge?"
"Yeah, we were so worried about you, Ada." Kade replied back.
"Well... The truth is... I have a rod in my leg." Ada enquired. "It got implanted in me when I... broke my leg."
Nicholas and Kade were shocked. "Wow... Is it okay, now?"
"Sadly... Its permanent." Ada replied back. "They were lucky enough to even SAVE the leg. The bone got broke into 4 pieces."
"Wow... OW." Nicholas said out loud, shivering.
"And whenever I do strenuous activity on my leg... You can guess the ending result." Ada finished.
Everyone was silent, until Nicholas spoke up.
"Wow... I'm REALLY sorry to hear that." Nicholas said out loud.
Ada smiled. "Thanks, Nick. Still, it's not all that bad, though. Had it not been for that... I wouldn't have met the two greatest friends in the world."
"Awww..." Kade grinned. "Group hug!"
All three of the Party Trio went in for a huge hug, which lasted nearly a minute.
Marissa, herself, was also in a dream of her own...
It was just another day in Pre-School. Marissa was currently playing with two figurines. One of them was dressed in a princess outfit, and the other was in some black priest-like clothes.
"You'll never take this kingdom!" Marissa said in character as the princess to the dark priest.
"Hahaha! Think again." She also said in character, as she pretended to hold the princess in a force-choke hold.
"Guh... Can't breath..." She said as the princess as someone approached her. She was wearing a white shirt, white shorts, grey sneakers, and a green beret covering her blonde hair.
"Hi. You're funny." The girl replied out loud.
Marissa looked up at the girl. "Hi. I'm Marissa!"
"I'm Mirian!" Mirian replied with a smile. "What are you playing?"
"Well, I'm just playing as a princess about to lay waste to a dark priest." Marissa answered with an innocent smile.
"Cool... Can I play?" Mirian asked.
"Sure!" Marissa replied back.
Marissa woke up with a yawn. Putting on her glasses, she looked up at the sky, and smiled.
"Mirian... I hope you're proud of me so far..." Marissa said with a gentle smile. "I shall win this game... For both of us. You may be gone... But far from forgotten.
The next morning, Drake was sitting on a tree next to a small pathway leading to both camps. He was currently drawing as he noticed someone yelling out loud in Japanese.
"Um... What's that?" Drake said to himself as he got up and went to the source of the noise.
"Uwa! Watashi wa kono... Imaimashī ringo ni tōtatsu suru koto wa dekimasen!" Nelson shouted out loud in Japanese, as he was jumping at an apple above him.
"You... Okay?" Drake asked.
"I just can't reach this apple!" Nelson complained. "And I completely suck at climbing trees..."
Drake then looked up at the branch, and jumped up. Grabbing the branch, he brought it down just enough for Nelson to reach it.
"Wow, thanks!" Nelson exclaimed, as he looked up at Drake. "Wow... You're tall... Do you play basketball?"
Drake chuckled. "I get that a lot... Sports aren't really my thing, really."
"Yeah. Mine, either. I usually run quick, though, when it comes to me being physical." Nelson replied back.
"Me too." Drake commented. "Though... I can't really explain it."
"So... Next challenge's coming up. Though we're on completely different teams... Good luck!" Nelson said, nodding.
Drake smiled. "Good luck to you too as well."
Cherri was walking through the woods, looking at various bugs. She spotted one on a tree, as she grinned.
"Cool, a Horned Hercules Beetle!" Cherri said out loud, as she crept closer to the bug to observe it further. "The shine of this specimen is very good. It seems perfectly healthy to me."
"And also a good price fetcher in New Leaf." Korpse replied, as she came walking towards Cherri.
"Hi, Korpse!" Cherri exclaimed. "Nice earrings!"
"Thanks! You like my Golden Skulltula Tokens?" Korpse asked, as Cherri nodded. "These were custom made, to boot!"
"Nice." Cherri said in approval. "I also like your nose piercing, to boot!"
Korpse blushed in response, as she playfully tapped her nose piercing. "Thanks. Viruskanner got it for me after I joined the Goths in school. She even got me this."
She pulled up her shirt to reveal a pierced bellybutton.
"Whoa, nice!" Cherri exclaimed.
"Yep, she may be pierced and tattooed, but she knows a LOT about computers. She's like our very own Black Ops 2's Chloe!" Korpse replied, as she put her shirt down. "Both of us are in a group of Goths that are kinda brainy. There's Viruskanner, who I mentioned. Then there's Darknovel, a big bookworm. And then we got Doomtaku. He may have a scary name, but he's a nice guy, once you get to know him."
"Very cool." An amazed Cherri said, smiling.
"I think you would be called... Bugdriller, if you were a part of our crew?" Korpse inquired.
Confessional: Hey, how about a Gothic name for me?!
Cherri: Bugdriller...I like the sound of that. Would that make it be a Mole Cricket?
Korpse: Yeah, I didn't show Cherri, but... -Rolls pants sleeve up to expose a tattoo of Kirby riding a Warp Star on her ankle- Viruskanner got me this for my birthday. Beforehand, I said what my first game was, and it was a Kirby game. Next thing I knew, I was inked.
Twiggy was gathering some fruit, as someone approached her.
"Hey, Twiggy!" Mozart said out loud, approaching the cheerleader.
"Hey... Um..." Twiggy replied back.
"Mozart. But I've something to ask." Mozart commented, as he took out what appeared to be a cupcake pan. "Does this belong to you?"
Twiggy looked at the cupcake pan, and smiled big.
"My cupcake pan! Thank you so much!" Twiggy replied back, giving Mozart a HUGE hug. "I really adore my cupcake pan; I be so upset if it was lost forever!"
"Thanks... But can you let go of me now?" Mozart asked. "Can't... Breathe..."
"Oh... Sorry." Twiggy replied back as she gently let go, and inspected her pan. "Still... Only one slot was used. Why go all the way to steal it, just to cook one cupcake?"
"I dunno..." Mozart said, curious about the situation.
At the Geek's camp, they were playing Charades. Nelson was jumping up and down, making an angry face.
"Zombies?" Cherri asked, as Nelson shook his head.
"Wrestling? Pile driver?" Marissa also asked, as Nelson shook his head again.
Nelson knew that they weren't getting his clue, so he pretended to play Whack-A-Mole.
"Hammertime?" Ellis asked out loud.
"Whack-A-Mole... Mole... Reset?" Moana asked, as Nelson nodded, and held up two fingers. He then started to make a motion like a tear coming down his cheek.
"Crying... Cry... Tear? Recettear?" Sting answered, as Nelson nodded with a smile. "Capitalism, HOOOOOOO!"
"Wow, Sting, how did you get that?" Olivia asked.
"I often play obscure games from time to time." Sting answered.
"I expect that from Korpse." Xantara replied, winking at Nelson, causing him to blush.
"Aww, Xantara..." Nelson pouted, as the intercom came on.
"Campers! It's time for the next challenge! Here's hoping you got your 'code' on!" Chris said out loud, as the intercom shut off.
"Code?" Mozart asked out loud. "Eh, I do a little gnarly programming from time to time."
"I'm sure code means something else?" Benny exclaimed.
With the Pops, they were talking about various stuff.
"Okay, we're doing good so far." Verna commented. "Let's keep this winning streak going."
"Yeah, but it all depends on today's challenge, and what our strengths and weaknesses are." Grace inquired.
"Yeah, like how Drake is quick, and all that." Nicholas replied out loud.
"I wouldn't say I'm that quick..." Drake commented, as the Intercom came on.
"Campers! It's time for the next challenge! Here's hoping you got your 'code' on!" Chris said out loud, as the intercom shut off.
"Code, like cheat code?" Korpse asked, as she got angry. "That only happened ONE time! Damn F-Zero GX and its difficulty to the core!"
Drake was concerned. "...You cheated? My mom would know how you feel."
Confessional: Too bad! You lost your machine!
Drake: Mom played a hard game when I was growing up... I heard some words come outta her mouth that scared me... Certain... 4 lettered words.
Korpse: If its a F-Zero challenge... Would I get ejected from the game for Falcon Punching Chris?
At the Beach, there was some kinda electronic device with some pods next to it.
"So, what's that thing?" Ellis asked, as he looked at Mozart.
"Beats me, dude. That's the first I even heard of it." Mozart replied.
"SQUEAK!" Woodstock squeaked.
"I bet its expensive as f**k." Steph said out loud.
"You are right about that, Steph!" Chris replied, as he stepped into the camera. "This time, you are gonna be going into a whole new world! Besides, Cherri has a license to fly a magic carpet."
"And a HUGE lawsuit on your hands if we break into song." Sting commented.
"Wait, I'm Egyptian! Not Arabic!" Cherri complained. "There's a difference, fly paper."
"Right, so... Step into the Pods, and enter our challenge for today!" Chris said, as the teams got into their pods...
Giggling Gryphons
On some red girders, the team materialized in the area. Next to them appeared to be a blue oil drum.
"Right. So... Where the hell are we?" Yentoulis asked.
"If I'm not mistakened, dudes... I think we're in... Donkey Kong?" Mozart replied back.
"Right you are, Mozart!" Chris' voice rang out loud, spooking some of the campers.
"Jeez, Chris. Remind us before speaking loud, next time!" Ron exclaimed.
"For this challenge, your task is to get through all 4 stages of Donkey Kong." Chris said out loud. "Simple as that, right? And speaking of the big ape..."
All of a sudden, what appeared to be a giant ape came climbing up the ladders, with a lady dressed in a pink dress in tow. He was Donkey Kong, the antagonist of the smash hit arcade game. The lady was Pauline, looking very elegant.
"Wow, guess that's our Freak of the Week..." Olivia said out loud, looking up. "And I think I mean the giant ape."
"So... Who's got Godzilla on speed-dial?" Nelson joked.
Once Donkey Kong got up to the top of the girders, he pounded them down, using his weight of his, causing some slopes. Some of the campers got knocked down as a result.
"Well, that esculated quickly... Who's handy at handling big apes?" Moana asked.
"Never mind that, he's gonna drop a blue barrel first! Let's split!" Ellis commented, as the group started to run towards the farthest end of the girders.
Climbing up the ladder first, Olivia found something that made her grin. Grabbing it, she started to swing uncontrollably.
"Someone! Make this stop!" Olivia yelled out loud in panic.
"Nevermind that! Lead the way, Olivia!" Marissa replied back, as Olivia did so, hammering any barrels and fireballs along the way.
The trek up the girders continued on, with them jumping over any barrels that came their way. Soon enough, they reached the top, where Pauline awaited them. Marissa climbed the ladder first.
"Well... Hello there, cutie." Marissa said out loud with a blush on her face. However, Donkey Kong wasn't having any of that, and snatched up Pauline. "Um... Was it something I said?"
Powerhungry Polar Bears
They too had to cross the girders and made it to Level 2. This time, conveyor belts awaited them, as well as some pie.
"Hmm..." Twiggy did some thinking, as she looked at the pie, and at their Donkey Kong. She then walked over and tried to touch the pie, but... She twirled around in the air and was flat on her back with a halo above her. She rematerialized next to the team. "Hey, what gives?!"
"Er, I think pies are the enemy." Ada commented. "Our best bet would be to jump over them?"
"From what I remember, all we gotta do is get to the top row of girders." Korpse said out loud, doing a bit of strategizing. "There's a gap separating the last ones to the top. Twiggy, you're the best jumper of the bunch from your cheerleading experience. You wanna try again?"
"You bet I do!" Twiggy commented. "I'm not dying to some wannabee pie factory! What would mom say if I explained how I greeted the Grim Reaper that way?"
Doing some impressive flips and jumps, Twiggy managed to reach the top girder in record time. But Donkey Kong wouldn't have any of it and snatched up Pauline and continued to go up.
"Hey, don't feel bad." Korpse said out loud. "He'll be sitting in a rocking chair, complaining about gaming at some point in his life, being all... Cranky."
"Wow, good call." Twiggy replied back.
Giggling Gryphons
Now, on a mess of girders and platforms, the Geeks sighed.
"Well... This is gonna suck." Benny said out loud.
"Yeah... Think if one of us makes it to DK, we'll teleport up there?" Mozart asked.
"Well... It's worth a try." Nelson commented, as Mozart nodded as he began his trek. He then got on the elevator going up.
Mozart then eyed the fireball, as he grinned and reached behind his back. "Time to... Um... Aww... Terrific. My Bo's not with me."
"Just jump over the scazz!" Ron yelled out.
"I made my Bo staff state of the art and-" Mozart yelled back down, not noticing that he hit the top. He was flattened as a result.
Materializing back in, he tried again, this time, getting to the other side of the girders and onto an elevator going down. He then decided to jump down, hoping to make a good landing, but...
"Aww, FALL damage?! Really?" Mozart complained as he materialized with the group... again.
"So, how long before Mozart goes Turbo?" Olivia asked.
On Mozart's third try, he jumped over anything that was standing in his way, even avoiding some spring that kept on hopping. Eventually, he made it to Pauline, but the same result awaited Mozart. Donkey Kong carted off Pauline.
"Yeah, well... Your banana horde isn't that good!" Mozart snapped back. "I have a Pringle horde, so there!"
"Gee, aren't we a little pushy today." Cherri said, climbing up the girder where Mozart was on, with the rest of the team following behind her.
Powerhungry Polar Bears
They looked up to see that the girders were getting smaller and smaller. There seemed to be something keeping them together.
"So, Korpse? Since you're very knowledgeable about this... What do we do?" Steph asked.
"Well, one of us has to jump over those yellow blocks keeping the girders together. Once that's done, we beat the game!" Korpse exclaimed.
"This'll be a short challenge." Stella said out loud. "Maybe I outta jump over those blocks?"
"Knock yourself out, Stella." Steph replied back, as Stella took to the girders above her. Jumping over the yellow blocks, Stella could see what appeared to be some snakes made outta flame inch closer to her.
"Wow, one touch and I'm incinerated..." Stella said to herself, as she jumped over a snake and grabbed up a hammer. Hammering all of the snakes that blocked her path, she jumped over a yellow block, and made her way back to the other side of the bottom girders. The fire snakes didn't take too kindly of Stella killing its friends, and started to tail her. But Stella was too quick for them as she jumped over the last yellow block.
All of a sudden, the girders started to fall, as everyone got outta the way of the falling girders. Donkey Kong looked down, as he tried to stay in the air. But gravity weren't gonna give the big ape any favors today as he fell down onto the girders, injuring himself.
Stella sighed, as she got up to the top girder where Pauline was waiting.
"Um, ma'am? You okay?" Stella asked, as Pauline smiled back at Stella.
"Thank you, young singer. However, I have a message to deliver to you." Pauline said back. "This was only part 1 of the challenge. Please observe."
Pauline pointed down at the downed Donkey Kong, as he was suddenly transforming into what appeared to be a winged alien creature. Stella was wide-eyed.
"Okay, I don't play games, but... I know THAT does NOT happen." Stella said in shock.
"Now, will your team please follow me..." Pauline replied, as a helicopter came down, and the team, which materialized onto the top girder, got into the helicopter. It then took off...
Confessional: What a twist!
Stella: Wait, there's more to this challenge? ...So much for checking out Rugrats this afternoon.
Steph: Stupid Chris! That should have been the end of the challenge, too! What do we do now?
Giggling Gryphons
They too took out Donkey Kong, and received the same message. They were on the helicopter, heading to who knows where.
"So, what's our mission? Are we bad enough dudes to rescue the President?" Ellis asked. "And by President, we mean the Prime Minister?"
"I think this day and age, we would receive some corn on the cob as our reward for saving Obama." Moana replied out loud. "I could use some, to be honest."
"First off, I have some directions on your actual mission. Welcome to the world of Contra." Pauline commented to the group.
"Wait, we go from Donkey Kong to Contra?" Ron asked.
"Wow, talk about a potpourri of various 8-Bit games today..." Xantara replied back.
"So, what's our objective?" Sting asked. "Cause we KNOW we'll need 30 lives to pull this out."
"Your mission, is to destroy the dreaded Red Falcon." Pauline said out loud.
"Wow, that's gotta be one messed up bird." Olivia replied back. "What did it do, rip the stuffing outta Big Bird?"
"Dude, don't kill our childhoods, Olivia." Marissa sighed. "2014 already done that, without any remorse at all."
"And it looks like we've arrived at our destination." Pauline commented, as she gave each of the campers a backpack and a rifle each, and had them jump from the helicopter.
The descent was uneventful, but they eventually reached solid ground, as they looked around. They landed in what appeared to be a jungle-like area.
"So... I think we're kinda... screwed." Mozart said out loud.
"Screwed's not the half of it." Sting commented. "Do we really wanna trust Olivia with a rifle?"
Confessional: No. No, you don't, Sting.
Sting: Well, at least she can't friendly fire. That's a start.
Nelson: Crap, I don't do shooters that well. But since it's also part platformer... Think I'll have a chance?"
Chris was watching the action from outside the virtual world.
"And so, our challenge is underway! Can the teams survive the world of Contra? Or will they fall, even with the Konami Code in? Find out... After the break!" Chris exclaimed.
And so, the NES Challenge is on! Why is it called the NES Challenge, instead of the Contra challenge? That'll come into fruition next challenge!
NEXT TIME: The teams fight through wave after waves of enemies, while dying... A lot.
