Mergers (4/13): Mitzy, Bobby, Colmilllo, Veronica

This time, Nelly wasn't the one announcing the start of the challenge. Instead, the screen focused in on the robot Nelly had created in the last challenge. It was still a crumbled-up mess but was carefully being attached to a far larger robotic contraption.

A low groan could be heard as its pieces were spread about.

Away from this side of the island, the remaining four contestants: Mitzy, Veronica, Colmillo, and Veronica were sleeping soundly. Little did they know, that their hotel and the entirety of the island was being consumed by an expanding robotification. The tropical island was no more.

Intro Starts

"Dear Mom and Dad, I'm Doin' Fine," Topher and Nelly stood at the front of the island, with the nurse rapidly measuring Topher's limbs and where his organs should be.

"You guys are on my mind." The camera zoomed past the two hosts to an abandoned-looking city. In the middle of the plaza was a giant pool that the camera dove into. At the bottom, Dylan tried pulling a chest up to the surface.

"You asked me what I wanted to be And now I think the answer is plain to see," Dylan felt someone tapping her on the shoulder. She turned around, only for Ian to come out of nowhere and swim away with the chest. Bubbles floated up to the surface, where Bobby floated on a raft. Bobby looked nervous about the water.

"I wanna be famous!" Colmillo was holding Mitch in a chokehold on land as the writer desperately tried tapping out.

"I wanna live close to the sun," in one of the abandoned buildings Camila was waving her hands around mystically over a crystal ball as Marty just stared past it and at her chest. Veronica meanwhile just crossed her arms skeptically.

"Go pack your bags, 'cause I've already won," inside the crystal ball Camila saw Ellis having a casual friendly conversation with Thomas whose fingers were crossed behind his back.

"Everything to prove, nothing in my way" past the duo, Michael and Mimos were sitting on the ground in the middle of nowhere just enjoying some peace until Vinnie fell down on top of him with a beehive in her hands.

"I'll get there one day" beyond them Matt was using his walking stick to walk around when Vinnie ran past him with the bee nest in her hands while dragging Micheal behind her. Matt fell to the ground as the bees quickly swarmed him.

"Cause I wanna be famous!" back in the abandoned city Mitzy and Tess were lying on the ground, smiling to themselves as they drew a comic. Liz looked down at her work and gave her a thumbs-up before feeling Bailey hug her from behind. Making blood come from her nose. However, Maxine came in and stomped on her paper

"Na na na na na na na na" in one of the buildings Therion and Charlotte are playing a game in a room before Charlotte laughed confidently once beating the gamer. That was before another character suddenly beat both of them. They turned to see Asuka easily beat her while looking away from the screen.

"I wanna be, I wanna be, I wanna be famous" Walter was looking around the dock to the island, as he walked he could see some footsteps on the ground as he slowly followed them. As he got closer to the camera he flashed a flashlight at the camera.

"I wanna be, I wanna be, I wanna be famous" The light from the flashlight turned to the moon as it slowly moved down to the cast. Jaz and Antoinette were sitting together by the fire. Jaz saw the camera on them and quickly pushed Antoinette out of the way, trying to get the camera to focus on her before the other girl pushed her right back. The other contestants slowly whistled

Intro Ends

Early into the morning, Colmillo was the first of the contestants to wake up. She planned to get up and start working out like she would most mornings. Her room looked just like it always did, which was a complete mess.

"Ugh, it must be dark out" the wrestler yawned and stretched as she sat up in her bed. She was sleeping in her panty and bra, but most scandalous of all, she didn't have her mask on at all. The camera was kind enough to focus on her body and not on her naked face until she was fully dressed again.

She went straight for the door to her room, getting ready to sprint down the stairs of the building and run a whole lap around the island. However, when she opened the door she almost went plummeting into a metal abyss. She barely hung on to the sides of the door.

"What the hell is happening now!?" she whined in annoyance. Instead of going back into her room, she used her strength to crawl onto the top of her room, which was detached from any semblance of a hotel.

"Boy, this is a real strange challenge" Colmillo looked around the area, finding most of the hotel rooms were detached and were all hung in a big collection area "I wonder if Therion would know what this is… all I'm getting is those doors in that Monsters Commune show my dog likes"

She looked around the area, before noticing the last of the other rooms that were being moved were her fellow competitors. A little smirk formed on her face "Let's see here… ditch the others to win or work on alliances…"

Colmillo smirked before jumping forward. There were platforms between the many rooms that were stolen. When she landed, a camera system turned on and it turned to Colmillo.

"See something you like?" the wrestler mocked with a big smirk. She got a response, as turrets on the ceiling turned on and started firing down on her. Colmillo sprinted out of the bullet's way, ducking behind the metal bars on the connecting catwalks.

"Nice try suckers!" she didn't even care about the bullets, just running away while weaving between the shots. Even with all this life-threatening danger, Colmillo didn't seem bothered one bit about it.

Confessional: Colmillo

"Haha! This is my challenge alright! Just running around in a giant death trap. If it's just a challenge on which of us can survive the longest, this is all mine!" while she sat in the confessional, a robotic turret suddenly snuck its face into the room and aimed its red target at her.

She raised her fist and punched straight through the turret, pulling out multiple wires "Yea, I'm still not worried"

XXX

Colmillo had a good lead on the other contestants as they slept in. It took some time before a sudden alarm went off in the multiple rooms.

"Morning sunshines!" a small robotic ball would appear in the rooms before vanishing back into their ceilings.

Neither Mitzy nor Veronica knew how to really react to its sudden appearance. But when it got to Bobby's room, his announcement didn't get anywhere close to waking the slob. "Hey, I said wake up!" it alerted him.

The small robot shot towards Bobby before the slob suddenly grabbed a-hold of it and pulled it under his shirt "Hey, what are you doing!?"

Bobby shushed the robot "I saw the window. I know something's up, and you're going to be the thing that gets me through this challenge unless you want me to eat your bolts and wires"

It tried to speak again but its voice was muffled by the slob's disgusting shirt. Eventually, the three remaining contestants made their way out of their rooms and towards the catwalk. Mitzy and Bobby looked like they always did, but Veronica was a mess of her own.

She was still wearing her usual pink dress and high heels, but she hadn't put on any makeup or fixed her hair. Her usual flowing blond hair was up in a big horrid mess. Bobby and Mitzy silently stared at her.

"What are you two looking at?" Veronica smirked at the two of them "Awestruck by the beauty before you?"

"Something like that…" Mitzy muttered.

Suddenly, a hologram appeared before them. It was none other than Monica, who looked slightly more realistic than she usually did.

Mitzy smiled a bit at her sudden appearance "Oh good, it's not Nelly running this challenge. This… is a challenge, right?"

"Quite right" she confirmed, looking between them. When her eyes laid on Veronica she very visibly flinched in response. Veronica was about to question her reaction when she continued "This challenge is another simple Nelly creation. She made this whole area, and it is inspired by Portal! For this challenge, she simply wants you all to escape. Last one out will be eliminated!"

"Oh this is pretty simple" Mitzy grinned excitedly "But, uh, what game is this a reference to? Robotic-factory settings aren't the most original"

Monica awkwardly shifted from side to side "It's, um, portal?"

This only excited that nerdy little comic book artist more "That's great! I love that game, puzzles have always been my favorite kind of game. Will we be getting portal guns?"

Their temporary host slowly nodded "Yea… those will be in the very next room as a matter of fact"

Mitzy was happy to be the first to enter the room, excited to have such wild tech. Slowly, Veronica and Bobby followed after her. They weren't nearly as excited, but a challenge is a challenge.

Once in this new room, they found four portal guns set out. That's when the realization finally hit them "We're missing Colmillo" Veronica laughed while grabbing one of the guns "Challenge is already looking easier!"

"Shouldn't we wait for her?" the hero fan frowned at the rich girl's very suggestion.

Veronica looked back at her before smirking "If you're so worried, you can wait for her" she shot at the ground below Mitzy and the ceiling above. Before she could react she was trapped in a never-ending cycle of passing between the two portals.

"See you two at the finish line" she waved mockingly before jogging through a now-opened metallic door. Bobby was about to join her in the head-start when the little robot in his arm snuck up his shirt and peeked its eye past his shirt collar.

"Hey, big guy. If you don't eat my bolts I can show you a faster way out of here. We could actually really help each other out with this deal here" it tried to reason with him.

Bobby beamed at his suggestion, giving the lil robot a thumbs up. Before going on his own adventure, he was kind enough to push Mitzy out of the infinite hell. It took just a moment before she threw up all over the floor.

"Better keep up with Vero, Mitz. She wouldn't be as fun in the finale as you" he grinned down at her while walking back out of the room with his own portal gun.

She silently frowned at him, not sure where he was going but she just had to catch back up with Veronica. In this room, they found a rather simple puzzle with a box being stuck up on a second story while they need something to press down on a button.

Veronica hadn't even bothered working on the actual challenge, however. She was sat on the ground, filing her nails with a smirk.

"What… are you doing sitting around? Aren't you worried about getting sent home for not working hard?" Mitzy looked down at her like a disappointed mother.

She looked up from her nails and just laughed at her fellow competitor "Pleaaaase, I know it's a challenge and all but I also know we're all going down the same path. I'll let you and Bobby do all of the work, thanks"

The artist silently stared at her before sighing. She just accepted that she had to do this puzzle on her own. She used her portal gun to pass onto the top level before grabbing the cube and throwing it down onto the button "That wasn't so hard, was it?" Mitzy snapped.

"Was even less hard having you do it" Veronica laughed while making her way out of the room. Mitzy grumbled in silence before pulling out her phone and typing to Veronica.

Mitzy: Look at yourself in selfie mode.

It took a few moments while Mitzy was dropping from the platform before she finally heard Veronica screaming in shock.

Confessional: Veronica

She was mid-clean up with her reapplying her makeup, mascara, lipstick, and fixing her nails. At the same time, she was combing her hair rapidly to try and put it into its usual form.

"I CANNOT believe they just let me walk out of my room looking like this. It's a crime against humanity to have my morning face be shown on national television. This show will hear from daddy if they keep all of that in!"

Colmillo was still wandering around without a care in the world. Any turret that got near her was no match for that iron woman's strength. If she didn't immediately snap it in half those robots were pretty easy to avoid. After all, those robots were all stuck in one place. You'd have to be a real buffoon to get hit by that.

So, of course, Colmillo found another set of turrets facing her and she simply sprinted right at them. She was shot multiple times as she ran, causing her to recoil.

But, to her surprise, the bullets didn't kill her or anything like that. There wasn't even blood coming from her wounds. She ducked behind a large wooden box and tapped her wound. That's when she realized she was holding a rubber bullet.

"Are you kidding me?" she groaned, flicking away the bullet before removing the others "That takes away, like, all of the violence and action! Ugh, the one time I want Nelly to be a deranged lunatic"

Once those rubber bullets were handled she jumped back to her feet and sprinted for the turrets. Now knowing how weak they were, Colmillo was hardly worried by being harmed by them. Swift punch after swift punch she destroyed them no problem.

"So… next challenge…" she looked around with her hands on her hips.

Confessional: Colmillo

"I guess I still have some rage left over from Asuka and Therion being sent home" she laughed a bit "But then again. When am I not violently beating everything around me?"

XXX

Before she could continue her rampage, Monica's hologram appeared before her "Colmillo! I've finally found you… destroying everything for the challenge I might add"

"Ah, finally someone appeared to tell me what this challenge is!" Colmillo arched her back with a big grin "I've been waiting all this time but you never showed up"

"Well… you were up a bit earlier than we had anticipated" the new host muttered dryly "But that's not important! How would you like to join the others in the challenge now that I've finally got to you?"

Colmillo groaned loudly, arching her head back to make her whining more clear "I guess… is that challenge at least fun as well?"

"Oh, it's a joy. I'm sure you'd love it. It's practically an arena fighter!" Monica's hologram lit up in bright colors.

"Alright! Take me straight to it then!" the wrestler was pumped up for her next challenge. The hostess snapped her finger and the ground below Colmillo vanished. She was sent spiraling down the hole before suddenly popping right back out into a big puzzle.

Mitzy and Veronica were currently in the middle of building up momentum to fly into the next open door when Colmillo suddenly came flying down. With the momentum she had already picked up she flew through the portal and easily passed through this puzzle without even trying.

She rolled and crashed into the ground before slamming into the wall. She sat there for a moment before she raised her fist proudly "Another early lead!"

The two girls looked up in silent shock before Mitzy started to rapidly wave her hands to gain her attention "Hey, hey Colmillo! I need a hand down here!"

Colmillo slowly turned around, finding the artist was trying to jump up and get her help. "Oh, yeah, sure" she shot a portal entrance under her feet before creating another one on the floor next to her.

Mitzy bounced out of the portal, appearing next to the wrestler "Thanks, I really owe you for that one!" she tried to hug her but Colmillo was entirely not interested in that.

"Don't mention it" the wrestler rolled her eyes.

On the lower level, Veronica was about to bounce through the portal when Colmillo made the portal vanish. Instead of joining them, the rich girl ended up eating shit on the concrete.

"What the hell!?" Veronica growled, slowly pulling herself up to see Colmillo and Mitzy looking down on her "Open that portal back up for me already!"

Mitzy didn't feel any pity for her. She got up and walked away without saying a word. Colmillo just smirked and waved her goodbye "Sorry pink lady, but Mitzy's even weaker than you are. No way am I passing up on that easy win!" she declared without any shame before following after her alliance mate.

Vero looked close to foaming at the mouth as they walked away. She was yelling and screaming like an angry chihuahua.

Confessional: Mitzy

"I should feel bad about Veronica, I know I should. Leaving someone behind just because I don't like them is wrong… but on the other end, it is Veronica. She's been mean and rude to everyone since she got here. I'd prefer Bobby going home, but if those two are in the bottom half, I'll likely sleep just fine"

Bobby and his little robot were on a conveyor belt. It was well above a deep black abyss, with the only thing keeping the slob from falling to his death being his hands holding onto the circular robot.

"We shouldn't be too far from where we need to go now!" his robot announced, seeming a little nervous about his actual directions.

Bobby looked around, finding robots like the one he was holding were casually moving around in a similar system "Boy… this place is neato" he smiled, rocking back and forth as they entered the opening of a large building.

He had to suck in his gut as they entered, but he managed to sneak through. As they moved, he found he actually had ground to step on as well as a screen to the side. It displayed multiple pitch white rooms.

"Hold on a moment…" the slob pulled off the robot and walked towards the screens.

"Hey, wait, this is an important mission here!" his circular robot dropped from the chain and rolled after him to the screens. They watched as Mitzy and Colmillo worked pretty well as a team. Mitzy solved puzzles while Colmillo destroyed any turrets that showed up.

Behind them, Veronica was making much less progress. Since she was putting in the physical effort, her makeup and hair were starting to be ruined once again "Must… catch up!" he heard her speaking to herself.

The robot looked up at him, rolling into his calf to try to get his attention again "Hey, listen up mate! We should go back on our mission, yes?"

"One moment here… I'm kind of getting. Oh, what is the word? Inspired! If I were to not get in the way of their progress, it'll be a one v two in the finale!" Bobby grabbed at the console, messing with its buttons. After just a few buttons, he quickly got an understanding of what each button did. A small smirk formed on his face as he swiped the screen, causing a wall to suddenly get in their way.

"Bobby, please-"

Bobby glared down at the robot and grabbed it by the top of the head "Quiet, I'm in the middle of making this challenge a slam dunk" he spun the robot on his finger like a basketball before throwing him back. The big ol' slob cracked his knuckles before getting to work.

In the room itself, Colmillo and Mitzy just appeared confused by the continually changing room. Every time they felt like they made progress a pathway was blocked for them.

"I don't remember this in the game…" Mitzy muttered, trying to push past the door "And if it was, I'm positive it'd be just as annoying"

Colmillo shook her head disapprovingly at the little nerd "Relax, this is exactly what I'm here for" she balled her fist, took a step back, and punched a hole into the wall. She moved her other arm forward to start ripping through the wall to make them a small path.

"Always thinking outside of the box" the artist simply mused before stepping through the hole and entering the actual second part of the challenge. As they entered the room, they found almost a hundred turrets directed at them.

Mitzy felt the color leave her face. The turrets slowly aimed at the artist, taking a moment to realize she was a target "Do… you have a plan for this one?"

"You bet I do!" the wrestler suddenly grabbed her and lifted her up like a human shield. The turrets started firing, littering Mitzy in rubber bullets.

Once close enough, the wrestler lifted Mitzy up and flung her at the nearest turret like a bat. Of course, the artist started to whine in pain, but Colmillo just rolled her eyes "Oh don't be such a baby!"

Confessional: Mitzy

The poor artist meekly rubbed her arms. She currently had an eyepatch on as well as bruises all over "I… guess I can at least LARP as a pirate from this point on"

XXX

In the other room, Bobby frowned watching them "Huh… those two are a bigger challenge together than I thought" he mused with a smile "I don't know how I can mess this up for them. They can handle most of what this console does"

Bobby shrugged before turning around and grabbing the little circular robot "Ok, I'm good to continue on now. Where is the exit from here" he asked politely.

"Yes, well-" it started before they suddenly heard the clanking of robotic legs. The robot's eye dilated "Oh there's no time, we have to hide!" a cord shot from the robot and attached to the console. The robot's eye became code and numbers before the wall near them opened up.

"What's the rush for?" Bobby tried to ask, just kind of confused.

"She's not going to want to see you outside of the challenge. And if she sees me with you she'll deprogram me!"

That was enough reasoning for the slob who ran behind the wall with the droid. The wall closed behind them, with only a little bit of light coming in from the cracks in the wall. Bobby's curiosity got the better of him, as he looked into the room.

Inside, Bobby could see a very feminine-shaped robot standing around, staring at the screen "Hm. They're making pretty good progress, but we're going to have to speed Veronica's pace up"

The robot tapped the keyboard, causing all the area between Veronica and the two in front of her easier. It also removed most of the levels in front of Colmillo and Mitzy to make it easier "Shouldn't be much longer now…"

It moved to the side, and Bobby realized that the robot's face was Monica's. That's when he realized the robot's appearance was a more advanced version of Monica's… in more ways than one.

"That's certainly a surprise" the slob muttered. The robot looked from side to side in the room, like she heard him. But she didn't do anything while walking out of the room "I think this might be a bit easier to work with" he grinned down at the circular robot, who just seemed confused by his excitement.

Soon enough, Colmillo and Mitzy reached the end of their paths. Now, they stood on a platform above a deep pit. They couldn't see anywhere close to the bottom of this pit "So what's the challenge with this?" Colmillo asked.

Her ally shrugged "I don't really know, I figured the last room would just be the escape route with some booby traps"

As they stood there, Veronica suddenly came out of nowhere behind them. She was dripping wet with sweat and her hair was once again in a mess "Thanks for ditching me you bitches!"

The wrestler silently stared back at her "Who are you again?"

She was about to scream at the wrestler when Monica appeared again in front of them "Congratulations to you three for making it this far! We may have lost Bobby, but I would say now is a perfect time to move on to our second phase!"

"Second phase?" Mitzy frowned "What will we be doing besides just escaping?"

"Grrrrrreat question!" their hologram host beamed before the platform started moving "For this second phase, you will be having a cake-eating competition. After you've eaten a certain amount of cake you move on to the exit!"

Colmillo's stomach started to growl as she patted it "I could certainly eat"

"So long as this cake isn't too fatty" Veronica spat out "I have to keep my good figure for when Camila and Liz come around for my win"

"Keep dreaming" Colmillo rolled her eyes. Almost immediately the two girls got into a dangerous staring match. Mitzy entirely ignored the two of them as Monica vanished from sight. Strangely, a faint orange glow illuminated the pit below them.

The artist crouched down, trying to get a good look of the lighting before the realization hit her. The light was slowly moving up and was moving, like a fire that was starting to spread! "Guys!" she turned with a panicked tone. However, neither girl bothered to turn around. They were still too busy with their argument.

"Guys!" Mitzy practically screamed at them.

"What!?" they snapped back, hardly interested in her issue. The artist grabbed their heads and pointed down on the growing fire. Even ignoring the obvious danger in that, the room they were currently in was starting to heat up.

"Oh…" Veronica stared in silence while Colmillo was trying to grab onto the walls around them. But no use, there was nothing to grab.

"Mitzy, you're a nerd, think of something" the wrestler spat anxiously.

The artist nervously looked around for a solution out of that room. That's when she noticed a massive glass pipe right above them. It had a slight crack on the bottom end of it "If we can somehow break that crack we can crawl into the pipe and get out of here!"

"Say no more" Colmillo cracked her knuckles before using Veronica and Mitzy as bats to swing on it. While it was… certainly painful, they were making bigger and bigger cracks in the glass. That's when a large object suddenly got stuck in the pipe.

The trio looked up and found Bobby was stuck in the tube with the robot in his hand. He was just too large to fit through. They stared back at each other. The slob slowly waved with an innocent smile before he was sucked away again. With the pressure that was needed to drag him, it finally cracked open.

Their platform was about to move past the tube when Colmillo pushed the two girls into the pipe. She reached forward and very barely got a grip of the opening. But the platform was out of the way, leaving the wrestler hanging.

"I've got you Col" Mitzy affirmed while reaching down to try and help her up. But with those weak little twink arms of hers, pulling the wrestler up was a true challenge. She turned around and looked at Veronica, who was panting on the tube's floor "Are you going to help me?"

She slowly raised her head, putting a finger to her lips "mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm, no. I don't think I will" Veronica smirked a bit before crawling away from them "That'll show you two for earlier"

Mitzy weakly groaned in annoyance but kept up the work as she put all of her strength into dragging her alliance mate up. Colmillo sighed in relief once she was up, before immediately getting back to her feet and preparing to run off.

"Hey, give me a… moment to rest here" the artist tried to reason with her partner. Colmillo looked down at Mitzy, noticing that she was certainly bruised up and still as weak as ever. The wrestler could only sigh disappointedly.

"Yeah, uh, we're kind of in last place right now Mitzy" the wrestler reasoned "So if one of us is going home, I'd rather it not be me. So… sorry not sorry I guess!"

With that, Mitzy was left behind. Colmillo sprinted at top speeds, trying to catch up with the other two and secure her own victory.

Confessional: Mitzy

"What a horrid… horrid game" Mitzy muttered angrily. Her fists were balled and she looked to be shaking in anger "I try to make friends with Colmillo and she used me. Bobby pretended to be kind before eliminating half of the merge. And Veronica's been rude since we first arrived!" the artist whined in rage "I'm going to win this game as a hero and nothing is going to stop me. No more morally gray alliances, none of that. It's all Mitzy to the end!"

As she got pumped up, for some strange reason, her blond hair became pitch white. Her eyes were also glowing a bright red "I will make sure none of them get anywhere close to getting that million!"

Confessional: Colmillo

"Yea, yea. I know that's not a smart move and whatnot. But think of this from my perspective!" she leaned forward in her chair with her leg crossed over the other "The only people in this race besides me are a fat guy, a girly girl in high heels, and a comic nerd. If I'm even second to last I'll be the laughing stock of my whole family. Besides, it's not like Mitzy ever had a chance of winning anyways. I'm basically just making her loss sting a bit less than if I stole it in the end"

Eventually, Veronica and Colmillo made their way out of the pipe and into a large room. In the ceiling, they could see multiple windows illuminating the room. "Looks like those are the exits" Colmillo smirked while cracking her neck.

"Yea, well, we don't exactly have a way out of here" Veronica deadpanned. Though this didn't stop the big muscular lady as she jumped to a nearby wall and started trying to climb up the smooth walls "You have the mental capacity of a child" the rich girl deadpanned.

That's when the middle of the room suddenly opened. Slowly, a metallic figure floated down and landed on an elevated platform "Hello ladies" she smiled.

The two girls silently glanced at each other, not quite sure what to say about the robot. Colmillo was sure enough to speak up first "N-Nelly…?"

"What? No- what? It's me, Monica. I've been here since the merge!" she scowled down at them "I was the one who turned the island into a massive robotic fortress!"

"Ooo, someone's fishing for compliments" Veronica rolled her eyes.

The robotic stalker looked to be on the verge of annihilating the two girls then and there "Do neither of you wonder why you were almost burned alive? Curious as to why I would suddenly do something like that?"

"We kind of figured Nelly just wanted us dead. Wouldn't be that weird for her" Veronica deadpanned, with Colmillo casually nodding in the background. That's when robotic claws shot out from the wall and locked them onto the wall as large buzzsaws appeared right above their heads.

"I did it because you all eliminated my Mitchy!" she practically screeched "I have missed him every day. I was going to make this body" Monica gestured to her new robotic figure "and impress him with it but then he was gone! But now… I have a new use for this body"

"What does that have to do with us?" Colmillo asked.

"All of you are just as responsible for him leaving in my mind! So, I'm going to murder all of you and capture Nelly… somehow she escaped, and I intend to use her to get me and Mitch the money needed for us to go off and get married in the Bahamas"

Veronica looked to the other hostage and spoke with half of her face facing Colmillo "This lady's a total nutcase" instead of responding once again, Monica stared. This caused the buzzsaws to start up as the chains pulled on them.

"Don't worry too much. It'll take a few moments for them to kill you… I made sure it'll be slow enough for you to feel every moment it cuts into you" she mused, tapping her fingers together like a supervillain "Hopefully the other two will finally arrive soon. Then again… it might be more exciting if they drop in after you're dead"

As she spoke, the pipe that led to the room shook and jiggled about "Ah, that must be Bobby finally arriving" she turned to the noise. Monica glanced into the tube, waiting patiently for the slob when Mitzy's red eyes illuminated the darkness.

"What the-" before she could react Mitzy shot out and started to pelt the machine with multiple slaps of justice! Though this just caused her hands to bruise up a bit since Monica's metallic exterior was too strong.

"Oh, hello Mitzy" she mused before grabbing the artist by the throat. She slowly raised her into the air as she stood "I was expecting you"

"You won't get away with this villainy!" the artist growled angrily "I can promise that you will be stopped and won't be a villainous threat ever again!"

Monica rolled her eyes a bit at her before going over to the wall and placing her next to the other girls "There we go. Three down, only one more to go!" she giggled at how easily her plan was going.

While she was distracted with her targets, yet another contestant reared their ugly head. It was Bobby, sneaking from one of the walls with a half-exposed circular robot in his hand. Mitzy and the others noticed him moving in so they started to struggle and yell as a way to throw their enemy off.

"Oh please, your deaths won't even be that painful!" she snapped, Monica was about to do something when Bobby finally got behind her and slammed the robot into her head. This caused Monica's eyes to short-circuit and vanish. Before her eye color changed to match the small robot's tone.

The robot stood there for a moment, slowly moving its arms and hands around before smiling "Boy, this is quite an interesting body. I can see why she was so keen on making this" she(?) mused.

"Hey, any chance you think you can stop us from… oh, I dunno, dying right now!?" Veronica screeched angrily.

"Oh yea, aduh" it laughed a bit before waving her hands around a bit. It took a few efforts but the buzzsaws turned off "There we are!"

The three girls sighed in relief before Colmillo and Mitzy started to aggressively pull on their chains "Think you can let us down now?" the wrestler begrudgingly asked "Obviously I could wreck these chains if I so wanted but I don't want to show off too bad"

"Oh of course, let me just…" before the robot could free time Bobby tapped its shoulder "Oh, right. Sorry ladies, but that's going to have to wait"

"Wait for what?" Veronica frowned.

Instead of answering the robot shook her hands around in a gesture like a composer. Further behind they could see a platform was slowly raising from the ground and towards the glass ceiling. Standing on this platform was Bobby, who waved down at them with his usual simple smile.

"Bobby!?" Veronica and Colmillo yelled in surprise.

"Sorry guys. I obviously couldn't let you die or anything… but I also still kinda wanna win y'know? But don't worry" he did a little bow before a boombox appeared next to him "I'll let you all listen to my victory tune first"

"Where did he get that from?" the rich girl deadpanned before a metal bar shot forward and covered her lips.

The slob pressed a red button on the boombox, which caused the music to start playing. It was the song "Break My Stride" and to further enjoy his victory he started to dance like Peter Griffin to Surfin Bird.

His three fellow competitors silently stared up at him. They glanced at each other, not quite sure how this happened or why it is.

Confessional: Bobby

He had the biggest smile on his face as the music continued to play in the background "I've been saving this song since we first got into the merge" he chuckled "Might be a bit premature but I feel like it's justified"

"Aint nothing gonna break-a my stride. Nobody gonna slow me down. Oh no" he started to sing along entirely off-key before disappearing onto the top of the building.

"Alrighty" Monica's controlled body clapped their hands together "That just leaves the last few of you! I'm not really partial or anything like that, so I'll just give you all the chance to win this" she clapped again before a stairway opened up on the other side of the room. Immediately after their chains were let go and they were free to go "And that's the last of me" the robot laughed a bit before the circular robot on the back suddenly popped out of its spot and cracked onto the floor.

The realization of what that means eventually hit them, and a wave of fear washed over them "Come on Mitzy, let's get out of here!" the wrestler pushed Veronica back before running to the stairs as fast as she could.

"Now you want to run off together?" Mitzy scowled, running just a bit slower than her as she gave chase.

Veronica was stuck coming in last place as she did everything in her power to keep up. Issue was: A) she's not physically fit at all and B) she was wearing high-heels.

They were going up the stairs when Monica rebooted herself and came back to her senses "You all won't escape that easily!" her cry echoed up the stairs.

On the stairwell, the two in the lead quickly noticed two turrets guarding the path in front of them. For once, Colmillo didn't come in for a fight. Instead, she used her hulking strength to push past them and knock them onto their side.

As Mitzy came running up after her, the two turrets locked onto her with their red auto-aim. She wasn't worried about them in the slightest. Using her portal gun she picked one of them up and aimed them forward, causing it to lock onto Colmillo and started firing.

The wrestler had taken her fair share of shots today, and at this point, it was beginning to wear down on her. Her speed slowly weakened before Mitzy overtook her and portaled the turret somewhere else.

"What was that for!?" Colmillo angrily spat "We're in an alliance, you can't just sabotage me out of nowhere like that!"

"You betrayed me first, consider that retribution" the hero fanatic glared back at her.

The wrestler growled before getting back up to her feet and ran right after her again. Well behind the two of them was Veronica, who was miserably panting at all this exorcising "I… hate this show!" she whined, dropping to her hands and knees as she tried to just drag herself up the stairs.

Back with the two actually in the running, Colmillo and Mitzy were neck and neck once again. Neither was willing to let the other pass them up. They weren't worried about Veronica outpacing them, no no. This was just a race to see which one of them was inferior to the other. Of course, Monica was still throwing challenges their way.

"You're starting to sweat" Colmillo snarked. A wall formed in front of them but the two girls managed to smash through without any issue "You might want to go and take a break so you can rest!"

"I could say the same for you!" Mitzy snapped, furrowing her brow "Because I could go for another five miles if need be!"

Soon, they could see the bright light of the exit shining down on them. It was the exit of the stairs! This motivated them both to put all of their strength into running faster.

However, before they could make it to the end, an orange portal opened under them with the exit of this portal looking to be the very base of the stairs again. "No!" Colmillo cried, grabbing onto the railing to not completely fall through.

Mitzy responded just as fast. But she didn't grab for the rails, she grabbed Colmillo by her shoulders and kicked off of her. With this force, the artist managed to jump past the portal and land past the door and onto the rooftop.

"Why you!" Colmillo growled, reaching her arm out to try and grab Mitzy's leg to drag her back. But, the railing couldn't take that much more pressure, as she fell through the portal and ended up right where she started.

"Noooooo!" the wrestler screamed in rage. She got back to her feet and went right back to running up the stairs. Even if she was starting to tire herself out, her adrenaline kept her going.

On the top of the building, Nelly was flying above in a helicopter "Hey hey Mitzy, congrats on second place! Come on up" the helicopter lowered a ladder for her to climb up.

"Finally" the artist sighed in relief before climbing up. Once in the safe zone, she found Bobby sitting down and snacking on some carrots.

"Oh, hey Mitzy" he smiled at her, scratching his stomach "How's it hanging?"

He didn't get a response from her. She just took her seat far away from him "I can't wait for this challenge to be over with"

Confessional: Bobby and Mitzy

He was still in the helicopter watching Colmillo and Veronica making their way up the stairs. Bobby looked at the artist and smiled "You take this game way too seriously. It doesn't seem like you're having fun at all"

Mitzy silently growled, shutting the slob up pretty quickly.

In the stairwell, Veronica was a good ways ahead of Colmillo, and was starting to hit her second wind as she stood up to walk again. But of course, the wrestler was quickly gaining on her "Ugh, how much longer is this going to be!?" she practically screamed.

Before long, the rich girl was passed up without much struggle. Colmillo weakly smirked. Even if she wasn't going to win, she was certain she would at least make it to the final three and make a comeback then.

What she didn't expect, was for Veronica's brain to slowly cool down and form an idea "See you at the top" she called up to her before pulling her portal gun out. She shot an orange portal as far away as she could before a blue one under herself.

Colmillo was making good progress when Veronica popped in out of nowhere "Heyyyy~" she waved before creating another portal and disappearing even further ahead.

"That- that's not fair at all!" she whined angrily, forcing her legs to go into overdrive as she chased after.

But that just wasn't enough to catch up with Vero's almost instantaneous teleportation ahead. "I can't lose now…" she scowled. Further ahead she could see the light of the door once again illuminating the path "Have to beat her!"

At the very top of the stairs, Veronica appears, just smiling down at the totally exhausted wrestler "Oh, don't worry Col! I'll wait for you to give you a photo finish!"

Colmillo balled her fist, preparing to punch Veronica once at the top, but before she could make it her body was finally starting to give out. She knew she wasn't going to win and her body seemed to know that most of all. Face first she planted right in front of Veronica

"Ohohohoho!" she laughed mockingly "The big strong lady can't go up a few more steps" the rich lady leaned back and stepped onto the roof.

"Veronica's third place! That means she's going to be making it to our final three!" their host announced before the ladder flew down.

"See ya muscle lady" Veronica mockingly blew her a kiss as she grabbed onto the ladder. Once she was on the helicopter took off. Colmillo miserably groaned as she crawled onto the roof and leaned against the side of the roof.

"Ok…" she panted "When I get my strength back… I'll kill the robot and swim back to the nearest coast" Colmillo weakly smirked "Sounds easier then when I have to give granny her medicine"

"Congratulations you three" Nelly congratulated "But, on the negative side of things, we lost the island to Monica. Whoopsies" she shrugged, not actually that worried about it "Doesn't matter too much anyhow. We do have only two challenges left"

Veronica sat between Bobby and Mitzy. She raised a skeptical hand "Then where could we possibly go for the finale or even the next challenge?"

Nelly smirked before looking over her shoulder. The group was flying their way towards the coastal United States "Why, we're going to the golden land of America, LA!"

Bobby and Mitzy immediately whined or groaned in annoyance. With the slob being so desperate to not go to California that he was trying to get out of his chair and jump out into the ocean so he could drown.

On the entirely other end of that, however, Veronica's eyes were lit up like star "LA!? You mean like where movies take place? That LA!?"

"The one and only" Nelly confirmed with a big grin.

"This is the best news I could even imagine!" Veronica cheered, excitedly waiting for when they would eventually land.

At the same time, Bobby and Mitzy were silently glancing at each other. Both tried to ignore that they were going to hell on earth and focus on how they were to outdo the other.

AN: And there goes Colmillo. Her relationship with Therion was quite enjoyable to do, though I wouldn't say she was deserving of going much further with plots and the like. Sorta similar to Marty where she didn't have as much going on in the merge compared to the other three. At least she's probably a bit of a better case than Marty for getting this far lol. But final three, means we're finally getting close to the finale! Everyone in the final 5 had been considered for the finale at one point or another so it's really anyone's game
