Korpse's Earrings: Pitfalls from Animal Crossing
This episode, we start up the Boss Endurance Challenge!
It's always That One Boss…
Chris is on Challenge Beach, ready to give out the Intro.
"Last time, on Geeks VS. Populars..."
"The teams had to do some babysitting, ala Yoshi's Island, all while dodging various enemies. Some bosses even got in their way as well! The teams had to fight their way through them to even get past them. We had an entire army of enemies ready for them, but… For some strange reason, they never activated, due to it being sabotaged… And not by the fault of any of the campers. Turns out, a mantis managed to stow away and managed to attack the enemies planned on being used, Drake of the Populars, as well as Benny and Cherri from the Geeks. And thankfully for the couple, they managed to defeat the bug, saving my… Our skins. That's not the only thing that happened; Steph managed to capture Drake's heart, and managed to break Heidi's as well..."
"Now… Will Heidi bounce back from the reality that she faces? Who will Drake choose between Steph and Stella? What kinda ideas does Cherri have for Olivia? And who'll be the next one voted off? Find out right here, on..."
"Total!"
"Drama!"
"GEEKS VS. POPULARS!"
(Cue 'I Wanna Be Famous')
Powerhungry Polar Bears
In the cabin, Heidi had her head buried in a pillow, sobbing. Her helmet was next to her, while Grace was comforting the football player.
"Heidi, it'll be okay, my peach." Grace comforted her friend.
"Okay? Okay?!" Heidi muttered back between sobs. "That was my dream! My passion! Now what do I have?!"
"I dunno, but at least you still have spirit." Grace commented back, as there was a knock on the door. "Come in, it's open!"
The door opened, as Drake and Stella came in, looking concerned about their teammate.
"Heidi?" Drake asked. "What happened? You're more sadder than my mom was at the end of that game involving the walking dead."
"Drake? You have any dreams?" Heidi replied back. "Never follow them. All they'll lead to is disappointment…"
"Yikes..." Stella commented. "The hell happened, anyway?"
"I learned that girls can't play football professionally..." Heidi muttered.
"Yeah, and Heidi has been feeling down about it ever since she learned." Grace commented.
"Well… it is true..." Stella said symphetically. "From what I observed from when my dad was watching his games… They do take some really heavy hits. Plus, what would the guys do to a sole woman in the locker room?"
Heidi sighed. "Well… You do have a good point there. Still, I still wanna play something. You guys have any ideas?"
Stella chuckled. "I've no clue; sorry. I may know some football knowledge from my dad, but that's basically it."
Heidi sighed in frustration. "Figures."
"Hey, how about golf?" Grace suggested. "There's barely any controversial crap dealing with women in the sport, and they'll be really accepting of someone like you in the game."
"Wow..." Heidi commented. "It's like I'm back in square one..."
"Now, then… Anyone bought any golf clubs?" Grace asked.
Stella shook her head. "What do I know about that stuff?"
"Damn." Grace cursed. "And we can't ask Kade if she had an extra prosthetic to use as a club; we voted her off a couple nights ago."
"And besides, what if she needed it?" Heidi asked back.
"Hmm… Drake?" Grace asked, as Drake looked at her. "You good at making wood stuffs? There are clubs called Woods."
"Sure, I'll give it a try, but I've never made something involving sports before." Drake answered back. "Who knows how it'll turn out..."
"Excellent!" Grace commented, as she gave a picture of a golf club to Drake. "Anyways, here's a pic to use for reference."
"Er..." Stella started to ask. "How do you..."
"Eh, got bored the other day at the Truant Challenge, swiped a golfing magazine from the teacher." Grace replied back. "And besides, he ain't gonna miss it."
With Korpse and Verna, they were watching the waves, as they were talking about their families.
"...And that's how Latif hooked me up with this fake Twilight book." Verna explained. "It's really there to hold my 3DS, and all that crap."
"Wow… Talk about a noble bro." Korpse commented.
"I kinda asked for a secret compartment, but he said it was too complex for a kid his age." Verna explained. "It would hide something kinda… secret."
"Which is what?" Korpse asked. "Sexy pics of Nascour? I thought he would be the next Sephiroth during my run of Colosseum. Boy, I thought wrong."
"Oh, lordy, no." Verna shook her head. "We may be friends, but I'm not about to share this secret."
"Say no more; I shall not pry no further." Korpse inquired.
"Thanks. Wanna see Latif?" Verna asked.
"Sure." Korpse answered, as Verna dug out a picture of her brother. Korpse examined the photo with a smile on her face. "Cool… He looks very cool. He be a good friend to my brother."
"Wait, you have a brother too?" Verna asked.
"You bet I do!" Korpse replied back, as she dug out a photo of her brother and gave it to Verna. Like Korpse, he had raven hair as well, only that his was streaked green. It also looked like a beret. He was wearing a shirt with the primary colors on it, jeans with holes ripped at the knees, sandals, and also had spiked bracelets on. He was wearing a 1-Up necklace as well, and had three streaks of paint on his cheeks.
"Wow, he looks very badass..." Verna inquired.
"Yep! Though Haruto's not much of a gamer, but an artist, I still adore him very much." Korpse replied back. "He even made the art for my channel."
"Very cool..." Verna commented. "Maybe I outta watch one of your streams someday..."
Thunder and Twiggy were hunting around for supplies. Thunder had some veggies in a bag, while the two were still hunting around for more.
"I dunno how carrots are able to grow on this island, but still..." Thunder inquired. "Still beats fruit and fish, though they're good."
"Hey, can't keep a good healthy meal from being cooked up!" Twiggy replied back. "And besides, my carrot stew is top pops; 4 out of kids may disagree, though."
Thunder was confused. "Um… Who was the fifth?"
"Eh, some green haired 12 year old girl, who gave a rave review on my stew after she cooked it." Twiggy replied back.
"Well, at least she's doing something productive with her time. Most 12 year olds I know of, are often corpse killing on Call of Duty." Thunder explained. "Or camping on said game, yelling out obscenities."
"Yeah, I too would be annoyed if kids started blurting out dolphin chirps while I was hammering out fence posts." Twiggy commented.
Thunder chuckled slightly. "Not… the kinda camping I had in mind. Thing is, I'm different from the norm. I just wanna find out who I really am in the world! I'm no athlete; I'm only doing the football crap just so I can please dad."
"Then… just quit the team if you're not happy in it?" Twiggy asked. "And if your dad doesn't understand… Well, I'll have to convince my dad, but… Maybe you can move in with me until he does?"
"Yeah, good luck with me on that bit; he's too much of a quote-unquote… Manly-Man to accept that I just don't wanna play football..." Thunder muttered.
"I see..." Twiggy commented. "Just learn that my house is always open if you just wanna get away from it all, okay?"
Thunder nodded with a slight smile.
Ada and Nicholas were still continuing the party, despite barely anyone being there. Grace, Heidi, and Stella were there, to try to cheer Heidi up more, while Drake was carving out a 3 wood.
"Wooo! This party's gonna go all the way!" Ada shouted out loud.
"You betchya!" Nicholas also shouted to the crowd. "It'll knock your socks off! ...Or at least to the select few that wears socks!"
From far off, Steph watched the scene, and chuckled to herself, as she walked away…
Steph made her way back to the cave, where the spider resided.
"So… Like the gross bugs I scrounged up for you?" Steph asked, as the spider chirped. "Excellent..."
She then took out a jar, which had some tape on it, with the name 'Sting' written on it, as well as a picture of said emo.
"Now… Guyliner here is your practice target..." Steph taught the spider. "And here, is what I assume is his scent. I snagged it from some crazy blonde psycho bitch who should be euthanized to keep people like me safe… Wonder why she threw it away… Maybe she realized what an useless retard she is? Now..."
Steph then opened the jar, and held it close to the spider.
"Spider?" Steph asked, as she pointed at the picture of Sting.
The spider then looked at the pic of Sting, and pounced on it, ripping it to shreds. Steph smiled at the actions of the spider.
"Excellent… With you under my command… Those geeky bastards won't know what hit them… Hahahaha… HAHAHAHAHAHA!" Steph laughed out loud.
Confessional: I don't think any rain's gonna wash this spider out…
Steph: And with Drake and Verna under my control… All that's needed to do is to drop the morale of the Geeks so they become the next Team Victory… Then this game's victory is mine…
Thunder: Ugh… If only mom was still alive…
Twiggy: Always follow your dreams and aspirations, and never give up… Never, EVER give up. It's what mom told me until she died.
Heidi: Well… I guess I can give golf a try. After all, what do I have to lose?
Drake: Okay, I've never made anything that pertains to sports. At all. Also, I think special wood's used for wood clubs?
Grace: Here's hoping this brings Heidi back from a sad state. I hate to see the cutie look so down… -Blushes-
Stella: Oh, well… Since we're on the subject… FORE!
Giggling Gryphons
In the Girl's Bathroom, both Cherri and Olivia were in front of a mirror. Olivia's fringe was bleached, and ready to be dyed.
"So… What color are we gonna start off with?" Olivia asked out loud.
"Well… Being that the gambit of colors on our team are pink and blue, IE Me, Moana, and Sting on the team… I guess we'll work with them." Cherri answered back. "Besides, I don't think some of the Populars would like us going to their campgrounds, asking for hair dye."
"Yeah… Drake kinda looks scary." Olivia commented.
"I dunno; from what I heard, he's rather sweet." Cherri replied back. "So, what color should we go for?"
"Eh, lets go for pink, to match my duds." Olivia explained.
"Nice choice!" Cherri replied back, as she applied the dye in Olivia's hair.
"Neat! I'm gonna be different from the norm!" Olivia excitedly said.
"Yeah, you sure are..." Cherri commented back. "So, what is your town really like?"
"Well, to tell you the truth… It stinks." Olivia answered. "It's basically just a smear on the map that should be deleted from existence! I even put on the address of my audition tape 'This is an actual place, don't bother Wikipediaing it up' when I sent it in. The local shop? Well, whenever I was a kid, the only toys they had were 'Soldier Jacks', 'Our Tiny Turtles', 'Pre-Adolosent Nuclear Samurai Squids'… I'm quite surprised they didn't get sued yet."
"And somewhere out there, they're currently thinking of sword DLC for Splatoon..." Cherri joked. "Continue on?"
"And as for the temporary tattoo selection?" Olivia asked. "It's so… Blah, at best. It's usually just childish and colorful! Where's the exploding skulls? The brains with roses being embedded in them? Rats? Snakes? A Terminator Unicorn? I usually hop-footed it to the next town over, and insert as many quarters I can and get some from some sticker machine."
"Yeah, I did that too when I was a kid." Cherri commented.
"I still do to this day." Olivia replied back. "But I kinda derailed the topic. In either case, the town is full of super-elderly people. Out of ALL the youngsters in town, the local high school's population? 250. Yep, 250, and I'm the lone one in the bunch that wants to be different. And it doesn't help that the local hair stylist doesn't know what a twindrill is. My drills aren't even drills at all!"
"Why did you keep it, then?" Cherri asked.
"Eh, nobody had this style, yet." Olivia shrugged. "Anyways, they don't have any festivals, the circus never seems to come, and if we have any concerts, its usually some country music by some no name out there. Even the COOL holidays, like Halloween, isn't ever celebrated! And I think Santa skips our town as well!"
"Wait… Santa skipped your town?" Cherri asked, looking shocked.
"Yeah." Olivia muttered. "I really want a really kick-ass microphone one year. I'm a good singer to boot. Metal, for one thing. Still, a good singer. And who knows? I may wanna start up a band one day."
Cherri smiled. "Those are some good dreams to have."
"Thanks." Olivia commented back. "So, what's next in my quest to punk-dom? And if that's not an actual word, I made it up just now."
"Patience, young grasshopper." Cherri replied with a grin. "You don't just become an overnight punk..."
"We can always apply the temporary tattoos I bought with me." Olivia said with a smile.
"Consider it done." Cherri replied.
In one of the cabins, Ellis and Marissa were playing a game. They invited Nelson to play with them, and needless to say…
"Okay, I don't understand..." Ellis commented. "How is Nelson kicking our butts with a fluffball moogle knight?"
"Yeah, he's even outsped my Green Mage." Marissa said out loud.
"How that works out, I dunno..." Ellis muttered. "Still, you're a really good gamer, Nel!"
"Thanks!" Nelson replied. "I've learned from the best… Tomomi's basically made me into the gamer I am today."
"Tomomi?" Marissa asked.
"Oh, my sis." Nelson answered. "Yeah, she's a gamer like we all are. Had given the chance, you two would have been good friends, Marissa. She even tried to try out for the show, and even got accepted…" His mood suddenly darkens. "But… something happened..."
"Whoa..." Ellis said, going wide-eyed. "What happened?"
"I… rather not say, but..." Nelson muttered, as he sighed. "There was an accident..."
"Oh, my..." Marissa commented. "I'm so very sorry, Nelson."
"But hey, she asked me to battle it out in the show in her stead." Nelson replied back, with a slight smile. "And if I lasted 8 episodes, and gained a crush on the way, I gotta be doing something right."
"Yeah, word on the street is that you're crushing on Korpse on the Populars." Marissa said, smirking. "Our little guy's got a girlfriend!"
"Yeesh, we didn't hook up, yet!" Nelson replied back. "I'm waiting for the perfect time to do so..."
"Well, when that time comes up, I'm sure it'll be magical." Ellis commented with a gentle smile.
"Thanks, guys." Nelson said, as he grinned. "Now… How about we team up and take on some bosses?"
"Perfect, now you're speaking my language!" Marissa answered back confidentially.
In another part of the camp, Ron and Xantara were doing some yoga, while they were talking.
"So… Your mom's the major drunkie of your family?" Xantara asked. "That's horrible!"
"Yeah, and I was glad to get on this show to get away from it all!" Ron replied out loud. "I felt this was my true escape… Even though I was a complete sourpuss at the start."
"Understandable." Xantara nodded. "Anyone that's lived that long with abusive relatives would be like that."
"Yeah… I tried to stand up for them, and what do I get?" Ron asked out loud. "A slap to the face. Hard."
"Damn..." Xantara cursed. "Can't you contact the police?"
"S***… What police?" Ron asked back. "They're just as corrupt as any police officer around!"
"Wow… That's… That's not right." Xantara said out loud.
"Damn right it isn't." Ron exclaimed.
"You know what? That cubes it." Xantara replied. "After the show, you're moving in with me, and that's final. And if your parents have anything to say about it… Well, my slap's more powerful with all this jewelry on."
"Yeah, at least you have that going for you." Ron explained.
Sting was walking in the woods, humming a song to himself, as he was stopped by what appeared to be a piece of a tree being cut in half.
"Whoa..." Sting stepped back in surprise, as someone approached him.
"Oh, Sorry about that!" Benny replied back. "I was just practicing my techniques so I could protect my girlfriend."
"Yeah, that's fine." Sting commented, as he looked up at the night sky. "So… Benny? How did you do it?"
"Do what?" Benny asked back.
"Accept Cherri to be your girlfriend?" Sting questioned. "Cause… There's a chance I may be... falling in love with Moana."
"Well, to tell you the truth… She kissed me first." Benny replied back, as he sheathed his sword. "Hey, gotta cut her a little slack; we thought we were goners."
"Still… You two make a nice couple, man." Sting said out loud. "Sword Boy and Bug Girl! The hottest romance novel of the year! And future movie, with that chick that played in The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo as Cherri!"
"Seriously?" Benny questioned.
"Hey, what other movie actors do you know that have several piercings?" Sting asked with a smirk.
"Um… That chubby girl with several ear piercings from The Practice?" Benny asked back. "Mom liked that show."
"Seriously, I just don't get law firms, sometimes..." Sting muttered.
"Still, when the time's right. Moana'll accept you as your boyfriend." Benny commented back.
"Thanks, Benny." Sting replied. "Now, I'm gonna go on a swim with Moana before bed. She and Fang are already in the water, just doing usual diving stuff."
"Good luck with that, Sting!" Benny announced with a smile.
Mozart was walking back, with GENKI by her side. Woodstock was perched on Mozart's shoulder.
"So, Mozart..." GENKI said out loud. "What idol are you trying to protect?"
"Nothing special; the Dawn idol." Mozart replied back. "With that baby, I could transform any fake idol, into a real one."
"This idol stuff is complicated to my memory banks..." GENKI commented.
"And if I make several idols..." Mozart said, as a grin grew on his face. "I shall be one powerful dude, I can say that much."
"Okay, then..." GENKI nodded.
Confessional: With Great Power comes Fake Idols…
Mozart: And who's to say I can't craft a coconut cloning machine? Just make one fake idol, and clone the rest with the Dawn idol.
Nelson: -Chuckles- Yeah, we kinda were a little OP in that game…
Benny: Still, far stranger couples have happened before. I've never thought I end up with a punk girl.
Xantara: Ron's mom and dad? Here's a little mind clear for you! -Flips off camera-
Cherri: Wow, poor Olivia's had it rough, living out there, wherever she lives… Now I have a much more purpose in winning this game, other than to show my love for the creepy loveies.
Olivia: -Her fringe is dyed pink- You know what? These quote-unquote twindrills are kinda… Well, let's step it up a notch. -She undos her twindrills and does her hair into some pigtails- There, NOW its better.
It was late at night, and the team was snuggled in their sleeping bags. For one camper, however… Their dream was anything but sweet…
In a car, Nelson, and an asian-looking girl were riding down the road. The asian girl was wearing a purple t-shirt with a game logo on it, pink pants, and was wearing glasses as well.
"Thanks for all the help out there, Nel." The asian girl said to Nelson.
"Hey, I was always happy to help out at your friend's birthday party when you mentioned orphans were attending, Tomomi." Nelson commented back.
"You're such a sweet guy..." Tomomi replied.
"Thanks. So are you." Nelson commented back.
"So… Had any luck with Korpse?" Tomomi teased.
"Great… Even my sister..." Nelson blushed in embarrassment. As the two gave off a chuckle.
At that moment, a car struck their car on Tomomi's side. Followed by two more cars hitting Nelson's side once, and Tomomi's side two more times. The now mangled wreck was shoved around like a children's toy, as it came to rest on a freeway...
"Owww..." Nelson moaned as he looked at his sister, as the car was struck five more times, once by a criminal, and four more by the following police officers. The wreck then came to a stop on a train track.
"T...Tomomi?" Nelson asked, as he shook his sister. But she was limp on the steering wheel, her glasses broken, and was bleeding out.
"Tomomi? TOMOMI?!" Nelson cried out, as a haunting pinging sound started to ring out. The railway stopping sticks lowered, as there was two faint whistles in the distances.
Nelson gulped, as he continued to attempt to shake his sister awake, without any luck. He saw out of what remained of Tomomi's window, was a train, speeding its way towards the car. He then turned around to see yet another train, headed its way towards him as well.
"No… NO..." Nelson gulped as the trains made impact with the car…
"NNNNNNNNNNNOOOOOOOOO!" Nelson screamed out, as he shot up. He looked around, as he was back in the cabin. He breathed a sigh of relief. "Thank God it's just a dream… But it just felt so… Real."
He then sighed, as he got up to leave the cabin. Once outside, he started to sob silently, as Xantara approached him.
"Nelson? What's wrong?" Xantara asked in concern.
"It's that… I just had one BAD nightmare..." Nelson explained.
"Whoa, really?" Xantara asked back. "Whoa… No wonder your aura's glowing blue with sadness… What was it about?"
"Well… It involved a nasty car wreck, and I was in it, as thus my sister, and we didn't make it out..." Nelson explained, as a tear exited his eye.
"Well, at least it was just a dream, and you and your sister didn't really get hurt." Xantara replied back.
"Yeah..." Nelson uneasily muttered.
"I'll tell you what." Xantara said, as she reached behind her back, and took off her dream catcher necklace, and placed it around Nelson's neck. "To make sure you've got no more dreams… I'm giving you this for tonight."
"Wow… Your dream catcher necklace?" Nelson asked.
"Hey, it's kept me nightmare free for a long time; I'm sure it'll do the same to you." Xantara replied back, giving off a gentle smile.
"Thanks… Um, is it okay if I call you sis?" Nelson asked back. "You're like a sister to me, now."
"Go for it… brother." Xantara commented back, as the two hugged each other.
Isle of Rebirth
It was now daytime, as the sun began to crack over the horizon.
"GOOOOOOOD MORNING, REBIRTHING PEEPS!" Kade shouted out loud, holding what appeared to be slightly burnt fried eggs. "Who wants some eggs?"
"Yeah… I helped." Yolei commented. "A little..."
Yentoulis grinned. "Excellent. This'll get my strength in order so I can get back to the island, and prove to those bullies that MY name… is not Yento, not Yent, or Dr. Y. It's Yentoulis!"
"Yeah, yeah… We heard that before, Y." Lance commented. "If anyone's coming back, it's gonna be me. Drake screwed me over."
"Lance, you screwed yourself with your first at everything." Kade replied back.
"Yeah, may God help you if you end up second with a golden ticket." Yolei muttered.
"Still, I bet that Drake is shivering in fear by now..." Lance commented out loud, as a whistling sound was heard.
"The hell's that?" Yolei asked out loud.
"Beats me..." Kade replied back, as she took out a spare prosthetic to use as a club. "But after that giant mantis..."
The two got their questions answered as what appeared to be a golf ball fell right on top of Kade's prosthetic, embedding itself into it. The four looked at it closely.
"And this is what happens if you do not call me Yentoulis." Yentoulis snapped back. "Golf balls land on your feet."
"But I called you Y." Lance scolded Yentoulis. "And besides, how it got here… Even I dunno..."
Powerhungry Polar Bears
Back on the Island, Heidi was testing out her new golf club, and blushed in embarrassment.
"Um… Too hard?" Heidi asked out loud.
It was now daytime, as Nelson was busy gathering fruit, as he was stopped by a certain someone.
"Um… Hi, Korpse." Nelson said out loud, blushing along the way.
"Hey, Nel!" Korpse replied back.
"So… How's things on the Populars Camp treating you?" Nelson asked.
"Eh, it's fine." Korpse commented, as she eyed Nelson's hat. "So… Where did you get that cutter hat, anyway?"
Nelson smiled back. "My sister made it for me for my 14th birthday this year! It's basically one of my favorite hats!"
"Cool… You and your sis have a really good relationship, huh?" Korpse asked back with a smile.
"Yeah, it's a reason why I wanna win the game for her." Nelson commented.
"Win the game for her?" Korpse asked. "What happened to her, if you don't mind me saying?"
Nelson looked down in sadness. "I… rather not talk about it..."
"Oh… I'm so sorry, Nel." Korpse commented, as she gave Nelson a hug. "But hey, I'm sure she'll be proud of you, either way."
"Yeah, she would be." Nelson replied back, with a warm smile and a growing blush on him.
Korpse blushed back, as she smiled gently. "Just remember, to never give up, no matter what happens, okay?"
"I'll take those words to heart, Korpse." Nelson replied back, as the two continued to hug.
Unknowingly to the two, Steph was easedropping on the two, and grinned.
"So… The Transexual has a dead sibling? This is pure gold!" Steph commented to herself. "Now, how to exploit it..."
Olivia was standing there, looking at Sting relaxing near the water. She was doing some thinking.
"Crud… How can I get Sting to notice me?" Olivia asked herself. "I've already nixed me trying to collect samples from him, as thus nixed my plans to vomit on him. Shame, too… Cause I wanted to vomit on him back in the past."
She then looked down at her shirt, and gave off a grin. Ripping off the sleeves, as thus half of her shirt, exposing her arms and belly, she looked pretty confident about herself.
"There. I still don't know what I was thinking about wearing a long sleeved shirt to some island..." Olivia commented to herself as she walked up to Sting.
"Hi, Olivia." Sting said towards the girl.
"Hey, Sting." Olivia replied back. "You up to something?"
"Nah, not really." Sting commented back, as he scanned Olivia. "Nice temporary tats."
Olivia looked down, and smiled at the temporary artwork she applied on herself last night.
"Thanks, Sting!" Olivia thanked the emo. "Cherri kinda helped… a little. So… Does it make me look… bad?"
Sting shrugged. "I dunno… I think the tattoos do fit you, though."
Olivia mentally squeed at that comment. "Thanks, Sting!"
"No problem!" Sting commented back.
"So… Wanna see them all?" Olivia asked, as she was about to remove her shoes, as…
"Campers! Please report to Challenge Beach for the next challenge!" Chris announced over the intercom.
"Aww..." A dejected Olivia sighed, as she perked back up. "Oh, well… Maybe you'll see them in action at one point?"
"Maybe. Let me feed Fang before we leave." Sting replied back, as he left to feed the shark. Olivia grinned at that.
"He said 'we'… And I didn't screw up!" Olivia commented out loud. "Things are looking up! Almost like when I open up a warm Dr. Pepper and the fizz shoots up!"
With Heidi and Grace, Heidi was practicing her golf swing, as Heidi swung at what assumed to be a golf ball.
"Er, why are we using stones?" Heidi asked.
"Because we ended up using all of Chris' golf balls earlier this morning." Grace shrugged. "Besides, it's not like he's gonna miss them."
"Yeah, and thanks to Yentoulis, we ended up getting a makeshift golf tee." Heidi commented out loud. "Is that the correct term?"
"Yeah…" Grace answered back, blushing.
Heidi blushed back, as the two got closer and closer, as…
"Campers! Please report to Challenge Beach for the next challenge!" Chris announced over the intercom.
"Crud." Heidi muttered. "And I was getting my swing together too..."
"Yeah. Were you even trying to aim for that island over there?" Grace asked.
"Um… Maybe?" Heidi replied back.
The teams were on Challenge Beach, as there were bleachers, some kind of platform, as well as a giant TV screen.
"Okay, explain to me how this stuff isn't keeping us awake at night?" Twiggy asked out loud.
"Yeah, even with my parties, they aren't usually too loud." Ada commented.
"I could have swore I heard some truck noises late at night..." Nelson said out loud. "But it was kinda faint. By the way, here's your dream catcher back, Xantara."
"Thanks, Nel." Xantara replied back, putting her dream catcher back on, as Chris came up to the teams.
"Campers! Welcome to what is your next challenge!" Chris announced. "For anyone who's anyone, do you know who you usually run into at the end of levels?"
"Er… Boss battles?" Verna asked. "Especially the ones that hang outside a new town, your team's nearly wiped after a long-ass route, and they never turn around so you can sneak past them and heal, so you HAVE to battle them, and most likely lose, the cheap f-"
"Verna's right on that bit; it's boss battles!" Chris replied, interrupting Verna. "It's boss battles! The final toughie you have to face in a level! Be it a Gym Leader's strongest Pokemon, to something odd and out of the ordinary like Super Mario RPG's wedding cake… Bosses make up gaming to the core."
Twiggy was impressed. "Wow, what did they put in that wedding cake to make it a boss? I outta get the recipe."
Korpse was alarmed. "Twiggy, seriously? Even though Portal's cake is a lie… Mostly, Super Mario RPG's cake is ALIVE!"
"Which is what makes that cake all the more awesome! GOOOOOOO, CAKE!" Twiggy cheered out loud, doing a pose.
"Sadly, you won't be facing any killer wedding cake today..." Chris announced, disappointing Twiggy. "Instead, you shall be facing off against a cornucopia of random bosses! Which can range from random strong Pokemon to bosses from various franchises."
"So… We may be facing off against Bowser?" Nelson asked.
"Actually, there aren't any final bosses. Nor any flying bosses, as well." Chris answered. "In this challenge, you gotta knock out the boss, or preform a ring out, ala Soul Caliber, or Smash Bros, or whatever you kids play these days."
"Kirby main right here!" Nelson announced.
"Kirby? Hell! I go for Villager!" Korpse replied back.
Olivia sighed. "Jigglypuff." Everyone then looked at her. "Hey, cut me a break; she looks badass!"
Confessional: Cute has always been deadly… Just look at Kirby.
Olivia: And little do they know about the Rest trick. Impact with that thing, and its a nightmare for the unexpecting guy.
"Anyways, the matchups will be randomized, so no choosing who gets to fight who!" Chris announced out loud. "And the team with the most victories against the bosses win! And we shall randomize the first fight here, shortly!"
The campers went to the bleachers, as they sat down. Korpse sat down next to Nelson.
"So, it's a boss battle challenge! I'm so PUMPED!" Korpse excitedly commented out loud.
"You and me both!" Nelson replied back. "And who knows what kinda bosses there may be… Maybe its gonna be a Koopa Kid!"
"Or maybe it's gonna be Gohma from Zelda!" Korpse said right back.
"OR MAYBE ITS GONNA BE GARY MOTHERF*****' OAK!" Nelson and Korpse announced in unison.
Verna chuckled. "Why don't you kiss already?"
"What?" Nelson blushed. "She's my friend, and though… I may have a crush on… her..."
"Don't care; I ship it like Ash/Serena. Now kiss." Verna replied back.
"Um… Okay..." Nelson asked, as he was kissed on the cheek by Korpse. Nelson was blushing about 10 shades of red.
"You were saying, Verna?" Korpse asked, smirking.
"Okay, now that the challenge is set, here's our first match-up!" Chris announced, as the campers, sans Nelson who was in a love trance, was looking at the giant screen. The pictures of the campers cycled around randomly. It soon stopped at…
"...Stella! You're first up for the Populars!" Chris announced, as Stella went walking down and climbed into the ring.
"Okay, I shall do my best!" Stella commented. "Though I don't know much, if at all, about gaming."
Twiggy smiled at the Idol, as she started a cheer.
Here is our Idol, her name is Stella!
Put that boss through Hell-a!
GOOOOOOOO, STELLA!
"Wait, you're..." Stella asked.
"Yep! I shall be the team's cheering session for this challenge!" Twiggy commented out loud.
"Okay... Still, I don't know much about gaming." Stella commented to the host.
"Then you'll learn lots, because your fight is against..." Chris said, as some images were going too fast for anyone to even make out a shape. It soon stopped at what appeared to be a frog. "Prince Froggy from Yoshi's Island! This was kinda a holdover from the last challenge."
What appeared to be a tiny frog hopped onto the arena, as it croaked along the way.
"Er… Is this some kinda joke?!" Benny yelled out loud from the bleachers. "All it'll take is one kick from Stella, and that frog's up the creek!"
Ada grinned. "Heh-Heh... Swish!"
Korpse gulped, as Drake took notice.
"Korpse?" Drake asked out loud. "You know a lot about games than I do… What does Prince Froggy do?"
"All I can say is..." Korpse replied back. "Here's hoping Stella has some bravery to attack its weak point."
Drake gulped as he continued to watch.
Back on the Arena, Stella looked down at the slightly regal frog.
"So… All I gotta do is beat this thing?" Stella asked out loud. "Sounds kinda mean… And easy."
"Ah… That's where you're wrong..." Chris announced, as Chris pressed a button, and what appeared to be some powder sprinkled on the Idol.
"Augh!" Stella coughed, as she fanned the air. "Chris, what the heck?!"
Stella then felt a little uneasy, as she got a funny feeling in her body.
"The hell? Why am I… shrinking?" Stella asked, as she was now the size of what could be compared to a Lego figurine. "Chris! What the hell?!"
"Ah, that's the fun of the challenge… Sometimes you gotta expect the… Unexpected." Chris answered back, as Prince Froggy eyeballed Stella. It then unleashed its tongue at the idol.
"Aw, f-" Stella began to curse, as she was swallowed whole by Prince Froggy, with the frog burping as well.
Drake seeing the action in pure horror, fainted on the spot, as Steph chuckled.
Confessional: So… Would this count as a Non-Gameplay Ejection if a contestant got ate whole?
Steph: HAHAHAHAHA! That idol got ate whole! Much rejoicing is had that day…
Drake: -Is rocking back and forth, in fear- What was in that powder that shrunk Stella...
Twiggy: Um... Okay, I can't make a cheer outta that!
Korpse and Nelson was fanning an unconscious Drake, as there was some yelling from the speakers.
"Um, Chris?" Stella's voice blurted out from the speakers. "The heck is going on?"
"Whatever it is, can Stella defeat Prince Froggy from the inside?" Chris announced out loud.
"What?!" Stella shouted out loud. "You're going into commercial at a time like this?!"
"Find out… After the break!" Chris replied back, ignoring the Idol's protests.
Stella was now in the stomach of Prince Froggy, as she looked around her surroundings.
"Okay, that was completely pointless..." Stella asked herself. "Would Chris disqualify me if I vomited in this thing?"
She then looked at what appeared to be a pile of eggs, and looked up at the uvula hanging down.
"Yeeeaaahhh… Winning this challenge could pose a few problems." Stella sighed out loud.
And so our next challenge is underway! Will Stella be able to beat Prince Froggy? And what other bosses will the campers face?
Special thanks to CragmiteBlaster for this challenge.
NEXT TIME: The rest of the challenge. And a vote off.
