(AN) Hey guys! I'm here with the final part of episode four! I honestly don't have much to say except Space Dandy sure looks interesting I wish I could watch it…

(Disclaimers) I do not own Total Drama Series or Pokémon. Also, the alphabet theme is NOT my idea. It's originally created by Frank15, so give him credit for that. Another thing, I do not own Mass Effect or any of their characters in this chapter.

"Do you guys think it's possible that all of us could make it to the end of the challenge?" Ursaring asked.

During wave six, the team was battling against ten Cannibals. They were the hardest opponent yet because of their abilities to devour the bodies of fallen comrades. This triggers a biochemical process through which the cannibals spontaneously heal themselves and grow new chitinous armor. The transformation also appears to give cannibals a greater awareness of their surroundings, leading to more strategic behaviour and careful use of battlefield cover. Their guns are fairly powerful and could easily kill someone if the Awesome Azelf is not careful, especially when multiple units are involved. Luckily, nobody on the team was eliminated from the Cannibals' wrath. But not before suffering some damage with Leavanny and Druddigon suffering the most. Now, the team is still by the loading bay; waiting for their next opponent to appear.

Marowak opened his mouth but Klinklang answered him first.

"BZZT, THE ODDS OF ALL OF US REACHING THE END OF THE CHALLENGE IS TWENTY-TWO PERCENT, BZZT."

"Twenty-two percent makes sense to me." Leavanny nodded. "It's still very unlikely for all of us to make it to the end of this challenge due those creatures getting harder to beat."

"You should've known it by now. You were almost pulled out of the challenge last time." Druddigon said.

"How am I supposed to know that one of those creatures was behind me?" Leavanny argued. "And while we're on the topic, you were almost pulled out of the challenge too!"

"That guy was looking for a fight, and I gave him one." He furrows his eyes.

"There are times and places to combat against the enemies with your fists. And fighting against the Cannibals isn't one of them." Marowak said.

"You would've done the same thing if that happened to you!"

"Maybe," Marowak shrugged. "But if I have a gun or a knife in my hand, I'll use it faster than the sprinter zombies running toward me."

"Wave seven!"

The Awesome Azelf gets into combat mode and looks out for any hostiles in the area. The enemies have teleported from all of the directions. One Ravager behind the team on the loading bay; another Ravager on the lower level near the stairs; one Cannibal near the Overlook; and another Cannibal on the west side by the loading bay. The Cannibals look like humanoid buff monsters with cannons for arms.

"Shit!" Druddigon cursed, before firing at the Cannibal by the loading bay.

Klinklang avoided the ammo from the Cannibal near the Overlook and lifted it with his telekinesis before slamming it down to the floor. Xatu, Tali and Marowak use the opportunity to finish it off. It was determined to get up but it's not enough as it disappeared. Ursaring and Azumarill are firing at the Ravager and the Swarmers that were spawned from the said Ravager on the loading bay. The couple are taking some damage from the enemies but they're causing more damage to the enemies with Marowak and Tali's help. The Ravager was eventually destroyed with the herd of Swarmers following a moment later.

Druddigon is firing at the Cannibal while dodging its ammo. The enemy was being lifted in the air by Klinklang and once again; he's using the same strategy he has used during the challenge. He slammed it back down and Druddigon finished it off. Leavanny is shooting ammo at the Ravager, who is now standing on the stairs, while Rapidash is using her Adept telekinesis to lift most of the Swarmers in the air with Tali killing them off. Leavanny takes a bit of damage from the Ravager but she's doing the same thing to the Ravager before Klinklang lifted the Ravager up and slammed it down, killing it. Before it disappeared; five more Swarmers were hatched, all destroyed by Tali and Leavanny.

"I can see another Cannibal over there!" Marowak exclaimed, firing at the Cannibal who is moving toward him from Sector B1.

"I-see-two-Ravagers-on-the-lower-level!" Rapidash pointed to the enemies on the lower level in Sector H1.

Druddigon and Xatu wasted no time and joined Marowak to fire their ammo to the Cannibal, who let out a roar and then fired a grenade from its arm.

"Dodge!" Marowak screamed, jumping away from the flying grenade, while Xatu and Druddigon did the same thing.

Rapidash turned to her right. "What-did-you-"

BANG!

Azumarill, Ursaring, Leavanny and Rapidash were sent flying to the floor from the grenade.

Druddigon shouted to Marowak. "You go check on them; the robot and I shall take that guy down!"

Marowak nodded before running over to his injured teammates as Druddigon and Klinklang are battling against the Cannibal. "Are you guys okay?"

Ursaring is trying to get up by using parts of his body that aren't numb but he fell back to the floor again. "I can move my left side but that's it!" He looked at his wife. "Babe, are you alright?"

"I-I'm okay… But I can't move a-anything except my ears." Azumarill mumbled.

They hear someone scream. They looked to see Tali is trying to kill off the Ravagers, while the Swarmers are moving all over the barrier that covered Rapidash and Leavanny, who was screaming.

"Hurry-I-don't-think-I-can-hold-them-off-any-longer!" Rapidash said, worrying about the Swarmers above her barrier.

"Hang on, I'm coming!" Marowak shouted, running over to the women, knocking off the Swarmers with his omni-tool. Tali just gunned down the first Ravager but the enemy has released more Swarmers before it disappeared. Xatu joined her and fired ammo at the second Ravager and the Swarmers while flying around to avoid the enemy's line of fire. Druddigon and Klinklang have successfully killed off the Cannibal and then Druddigon joined the others to help them killing off the Ravager and the Swarmers. By the time Marowak has finished off the last Swarmers that were swarming all over the women, Rapidash's barrier disappeared.

"Thanks!" Rapidash smiled.

A moment later, Tali, Druddigon and Xatu killed off the Ravager and the Swarmers. They turned to the others.

"Can anybody explain to me how are we gonna keep these guys alive until the end of the wave?" Druddigon annoyed as he jabbed a thumb at the four injured contestants.

"We should move them out of the way and get them to sit up straight in case their arms were no longer numb." Tali suggested.

They hear crashes and gunfire, so the team turned around to see Xatu and Klinklang are battling against a Cannibal, a Ravager and a herd of Swarmers on the lower level.

"Quick!" Marowak gripped Leavanny's hands. "Let's move them against the wall!"

Tali went over and picked up Leavanny's legs, while Druddigon picked up Azumarill in one arm.

"Hey, be careful with my wife!" Ursaring warned.

"Don't worry; I'll make sure she'll be out in one piece." Druddigon smirked, which didn't make Ursaring and Azumarill feel better.

The three non-numb allies move Leavanny and Azumarill against the wall and then turned to see two Cannibals are heading toward them from the Overlook.

"Oh, great…" Tali muttered, aimed and fired at the Cannibals, who begin firing as well – most likely at the fallen teammates.

"I'll get them away from the others! You guys move Rapidash and Ursaring to the wall!" Druddigon shouted, running to the back of the loading bay while firing ammo at the Cannibals. "Hey! Over here, you dirty bastards!"

The Cannibals turned to the redneck dragon and release their line of ammo at him.

"Yeah, that's right! I'm the one you want, asshole!" Druddigon smirked as his plan is working. Both Cannibals are now focusing on Druddigon, who is moving sideways in both directions and fires at the enemies. While it's happening, Marowak and Tali have managed to move Ursaring against the wall. They were moving a bit slow due to the bear's weight. They went back for Rapidash and began moving her toward the wall with the others.

Tali noticed Marowak's eyes widened and turned to see a Ravager about to fire at the team, while spawning their Swarmers.

The Ravager suddenly floated up in the air and flew toward both Cannibals and knocked one of them down, giving the dragon the chance to kill off the downed Cannibal. The Ravager's egg sacs broke, releasing more Swarmers. Klinklang flew over to Druddigon and the enemies. Xatu, on the other hand, joined her teammates. Xatu, Marowak and Tali began eliminating the Swarmers while Druddigon and Klinklang are doing the same with the Ravager, Swarmers and a Cannibal. Druddigon managed to gun down the Ravager and Klinklang lifted and slammed the Cannibal onto the Swarmers. Eventually, the enemies have evaporated; leaving only the Awesome Azelf.

Druddigon and Klinklang headed back to their teammates as Marowak and Tali successfully move Rapidash against the wall.

"Can any of you can move any part of your body now?" Tali asked.

There was no reply when two Ravagers teleported on the loading bay and two Cannibals on the lower level, leaving the reactor core.

"How many creatures are there in this wave?" Leavanny asked, annoyed.

Marowak fires his ammo at the Ravagers. "I don't know but the best thing to do right now is to keep taking the enemies down until wave seven is over!" Druddigon and Tali joined him to eliminate the Ravagers and Swarmers.

Xatu and Klinklang flew over to the Cannibals, who noticed them and released their line of ammo in the air, which the pair moves around to avoid it. Klinklang lifted a Cannibal in the air and slammed it onto another Cannibal. Xatu wasted no time releasing her ammo at the fallen Cannibals, who are getting up when Klinklang lifted one of them again and slammed onto the second for the second time. This and Xatu's bullets are enough to be destroyed. The quiet pair looks around the area for any more hostiles. Currently, the only enemies they could see are those who were on the loading bay. The three contestants have just killed off both Ravagers and then the remaining Swarmers.

They begin to fly back toward their team slowly. Xatu stopped, letting a grenade swiftly pass her. She looks down at the Ravager and Cannibal with no emotion and fires bullets at them. Klinklang used his strategy as always and slammed the Ravager onto the Cannibal.

Druddigon, Tali and Marowak continue fighting off against a Ravager, a Cannibal and a herd of Swarmers. The allies are suffering damage from the enemies but they're causing damage to the enemies too. They knew they need to keep the enemies away from their vulnerable teammates. However, even though a few Swarmers were swarming toward the vulnerable, Ursaring managed to blow them up with his pistol.

Ravager was eventually killed and the Cannibal is moving over to the dead enemy to devour it. So it can heal itself and become more powerful. But the allies aren't letting it happen, so they keep firing at the Cannibal until it's gone. They did the same thing with the Swarmers.

"Wave seven's over!"

"Finally!" Druddigon sighed in relief as he and the rest move over the vulnerable.

"So how are you guys now?" Marowak asked the vulnerable.

Ursaring's standing up slowly has answered Marowak's question. "I think I'm no longer numb now, thanks Arceus." He looks at his wife. "Can you get up, honey?"

Azumarill's arms are moving and use it to get on her feet, along with her husband's help. "I-I think I can…"

"I still can't move my legs." Leavanny muttered, attempting to get on her feet but failing.

"Here, let me help." Tali wraps Leavanny's arm around her shoulder and pull the latter up on their feet. It's a bit of a struggle but Tali managed to get Leavanny standing on her feet, even if she hasn't been able to move her feet yet.

"Thanks."

"What about Rapidash?" Azumarill asked, looking at the sitting, numb horse.

"It-must-be-about-five-minutes-right-now. I-should-be-able-to-move-enough-to-get-myself-on-my-hooves." Rapidash said.

"Well, the grenade did hit you on the impact, so it makes sense that you'd get the most damage." Marowak stated.

"Oh!" Rapidash moaned.


Confessional: Be glad you can't feel the damages!

Ursaring: I was actually shocked that all of us survived wave seven, especially since half of us were fucking numb. But if my team could do well in this challenge, we might be safe from elimination for a while, thus giving me a better chance of getting that million dollars.

Marowak: This is why teamwork is essential! The Mass Effect challenge has proven that my team can work well together. In addition, we could go far during the zombie outbreak!

Klinklang: BZZT, THE ODDS OF WINNING THIS CHALLENGE HAS NOW INCREASED TO THIRTY-ONE PERCENT, BZZT.


"Zebstrika, I need to know. Why are you being so sexist to women?" Tangrowth asked.

During wave seven, they were battling against ten Geth Rocket Troopers and ten Geth Hunters. It was not easy as the team has almost lost their members, like Espeon, Tangrowth and Qwilfish time to time. They've managed to kill off Geth Rocket Troopers first and then successfully eliminated the Geth Hunters. Right now, the women are on top of the ramp outside of the control room while the men are inside the building; next to the ladder in the destroyed tunnel.

"Because women aren't superior physically and mentally as men, it's in their genetics." Zebstrika stated.

"How do you know about that?" Chandelure asked.

"My Dad told me when I was a kid. He always said that men always do the hard jobs, like army, construction and police, so the fragile women wouldn't break themselves into millions of pieces." Zebstrika explained.

"If you kept saying those to the ladies, you'll be broken into millions of pieces!" Tangrowth glared.

"Even if they've beaten me up, they can't deny that men are always superior physically and mentally." Zebstrika stated. "That's a fact."

Tangrowth and Chandelure narrow their eyes at the coach's more sexist comments.


Confessional: He'd be perfect for the Battle of the Sexes.

Tangrowth: (Glare) I hate discrimination. There are people who would prejudice others just because they're different. They would berate people for having different ages, colors, types, species, religions, genders, regions, sexuality and disability. I have met those people… and Zebstrika is no better!


"Wave eight!"

The females look around the area for any hostiles. They discover two tall orange Geths with a flamethrower teleported under the bridge.

"Those guys are Geth Pyro. The best way of killing them is to shoot them in the head and shoot it at its canister on their backs. If we do that, their canister will explode and they'll catch fire." Purugly explained. "Just so you know, Qwilfish, Adept power doesn't affect them."

"Right." Qwilfish nodded.

"Espeon, let's kill them before they get closer!" Purugly shouted, firing at the Geths' canister. Espeon is doing the same thing but more hesitantly. The Geth Pyros move behind a large metal crate but Purugly managed to create holes in their canister and exploded. The panicked Geth attempted to get the fire out but unintentionally spread fire to the other Geth, causing its canister to explode too. Both Geths were running frantically before falling to the ground and disappeared.

Qwilfish blinked. "Really? Just like that?" She was surprised to see both Geths were killed already.

"Yep." Purugly nodded. "They're not the easiest opponent but they can be easy to kill if you know what you're doing."

"It's not easy for me…" Espeon muttered.

"Espeon, they're just fucking robots!" Purugly recalled, annoyed. "And in case you haven't noticed, we're in a virtual world, so they didn't really suffer!"

"Well, excuse me for being a pacifist!" Espeon shouted, narrowing her eyes at the slutty cat.

"Guys, I can see the Geths inside!" Qwilfish exclaimed.

Purugly and Espeon turned to see two Geths are indeed inside and they're getting closer to them.

"We can't let them get to close to us! Leave!" Purugly runs down the ramp with Espeon grabbing Qwilfish and following her.


"Do you see anymore Geth?" Tangrowth asked Chandelure, who is floating high outside.

"No, but I can see the ladies who appear to be running from something." Chandelure replied, noticing the women are running toward the bridge.

"We have to help them!" Zebstrika jumped from the tunnel and runs toward the women. The other two men followed him.

The women made it under the bridge and looked back. Both Geths stepped outside the control room and aim their flamethrowers at them. The women also noticed the men are moving toward them.

"Are you ladies, okay?" Zebstrika asked.

"We're fine, Zebstrika." Qwilfish glared. "Did you and the others kill off any Geth?"

"Yeah, we've killed off only two of them." Zebstrika replied. "By the way, who are they?"

"They're Geth Pyros." Purugly explained, aiming her assault rifles at the two Geths on the ramp. "If you wanna kill them as quick as you can, then go for the head or the canister on their back. The canister will explode and the Geth gets caught on fire, which will kill them."

"I can see more behind us!" Espeon pointed to the two Geths by the large ramp.

"Zebstrika and I will take care of them!" Tangrowth said, before running to get closer to the Geth Pyros with Zebstrika following him. Once he's close enough, he aimed and released his line of ammo at the canisters. One of the canisters exploded and the wearer is on fire. The Geth panic and the hairdresser did the same thing to the other Geth. Eventually, both Geths succumb to the flames.

Zebstrika turned to his left and noticed something moving inside the bunker. He tapped Tangrowth on the back. "Tangrowth, I see more Geths over there." He pointed to the bunker.

The men walked sneakily to make sure they don't get too close to the Geth Pyros. They noticed the Geths are leaving on the left side of the bunker. Tangrowth moves into the Geths' point of view and fired at them. His bullets have hit the targets in the heads and canisters, which have exploded and died in flames like the others.

"Wave eight's over!"

"Good job." Zebstrika nodded.

"Thanks." Tangrowth mumbled, walking back to the bridge where the rest of his team are.

"We only have two more waves to go and then the challenge is over." Chandelure stated.

"Good." Espeon sighed. "I just cannot tolerate this game any longer."

"If you hate being here so much, why not just send a bullet to your head?" Purugly glared.

Espeon narrowed her eyes at Purugly and opened her mouth until the cop interrupted her.

"Guys, remember what I've said earlier…" Qwilfish warned.

"Oh, can it, Pufferball." Purugly sneered.

Qwilfish become a little red at the nickname.

"Now since I'm guessing there's another wave with previous enemies in the last wave, the next opponent must be the Geth Prime. You all had seen them operating the Turrets. They're forces to be reckoned with, with their pulse cannon, missiles drone and turrets, if they're including that in the next wave. They have heavy armor and strong shielding, which will regenerate over time. So we must kill them quickly." She looks at Chandelure and Qwilfish. "Also, they're immune to biotic attacks. You won't be able to help us except alerting us of Geth Primes' whereabouts. Are we all clear?"

Her team nodded.

"Good. Let's head back to the control room!"

The remaining Unique Uxie begin heading back toward the control room to prepare for the next wave.


Confessional: If some are immune to biotic attacks, can we take it down with our fists?

Qwilfish: Purugly used to be an ex-porn star. I wouldn't be friends with her since people like her only care about having sex. I don't know if it's only to video games, she had definitely surprised me with her leadership skills today. Those skills would've helped her in her life if she hadn't walked down to 'Slut Town'.

Infernape: I'll explain about the strategy called 'Annihilation'. If we've seen any enemies, all of us take down an enemy at once. When the first enemy was dead, we move onto the next, and the next and the next again until all the enemies were killed. It's risky because there are possibilities the enemies can also take us out. They did with Liara and Octillery but the Phantom came out of nowhere and stabbed the octopus before we'd even noticed. Despite that, there's still six of us remaining in the challenge and there's only two more waves to go. I have no idea which team is winning but I'd like to believe my team is.


"I hope this next enemy won't appear out of nowhere and take out another one of us." Jolteon said.

In wave five; they were battling against ten Nemesis. When they've came across the first two, the team decided it's a good time to initiate Infernape's strategy. All of them fire at one Nemesis until it's dead and then do the same thing with the other. They realized the strategy has worked remarkably well and continued using the tactic to take out the rest of the enemies.

During wave six; Yanmega flew around the area to search and found the computer to hack it. Jolteon was guarding him in case any enemies appear out of nowhere and eliminate him from the challenge. The mini-wave challenge had completed. The enemies the team had fought were ten Guardians. They have a large shield to protect themselves while equipped with a gun. The team split into two because they know the Guardians couldn't take out both sides without exposing its vulnerable position. The plan worked and the team managed to take out the rest of the big shielded enemies.

In wave seven; the team were battling against ten Nemesis and ten Guardians again. The team decided to split into two so they can take out the enemies easier that way. Some of them were nearly pulled out of the challenge. However, they all managed to survive and eliminated the enemies, even though it took more than five minutes to do so.

In wave eight; while the team were waiting for the next enemies to appear, one Phantom appeared out of nowhere and struck its blade into Octillery, eliminating her from the challenge. The team came to realization that they have to defeat ten Phantoms. Battling against the Phantoms was like battling against the ninjas on speed as they can move fast. They also create biotic barrier, making them briefly immune to most powers that have a projectile component, and reducing damage from normal weapons. They possess a powerful semi-automatic projectile-based weapon in their right gauntlet, from which they shoot kinetic-based projectiles with deadly accuracy from the palm. They slash their swords once or sometimes twice in quick succession, destroying shields and often health in very little time. Liara was eliminated from the challenge when she attempted to protect her teammates. But it didn't work when one of the Phantoms broke through the barrier and took her out. After a brutal battling, the team has managed to kill the Phantoms by teamwork with Infernape's strategy and awareness of their surroundings.

Now, the team are outside the entrance to the building on the upper level. They're all eyeing the area to make sure no enemies take them out by surprise.

"Yeah, me too." Gothitelle nodded. "We've just gotta be aware of them and make sure that doesn't happen."

"Losing more of us makes it a better chance of us going on another date with the elimination ceremony." Sableye stated.

"Well, there's an upside for it." Jolteon narrowed his eyes at Sableye, who did the same thing.

"I know you're trying to get rid of me!" Sableye shouted. "I've heard your confession from the confessional about the fact you voted for me!"

"I just did what everyone else would've done!" Jolteon glared. "You've kept barging into people's personal space and tried to break it out to the world!"

"Both of you shut the fuck up!" Infernape snarled. "I don't want us to lose this challenge because of two screaming kids who were telling their parents that their sibling has broken the painting! I don't wanna hear another goddamn word of this until the challenge is over!"

Jolteon and Sableye silently exchange dagger eyes.


Confessional: The author used to be a little monster when he was very young.

Infernape: My two kids broke my wife's precious painting about eleven years ago. It was from her grandpa. If you think I'd get mad, wait until you meet Blaziken.

Sableye: There is no doubt that Jolteon is definitely hiding something big from me and I intend to expose it!

Jolteon: It may sounds crazy, but I'm actually hoping we lose the challenge. Sableye already bought a ticket to elimination since day one and she's guaranteed to be gone next, unless she's come across an idol that would somehow keep her safe from being eliminated. That would seriously suck if that happens.


"Wave nine!"

The Mysterious Mesprit are eyeing around the area to search for any enemies.

STOMP!

The tremor shook the team by surprise. They turned to the far corner by the landing pad to their left. They're seeing a large mech with a pilot inside. It has a large claw for one hand, while the other is equipped with a powerful rocket launcher.

"Oh, fuck…" Whimsicott muttered.

It's going to get worse as the Atlas is aiming its rocket launcher toward them.

"DOUBLE FUCK!" Infernape grabbed Sableye and jumped down the ladder next to them. The rest immediately followed them when Atlas fires a rocket directly where the team previously stood.

KA-BLAM!

The explosion sends the team and the debris flying over to the corner of the building and landed hard.

Infernape quickly stood up, helped Sableye get onto her feet and looked at the rest of his team. "Are all of you alright?"

"If this is real life, it'd hurt a lot." Yanmega pulled Gothitelle onto her feet.

Jolteon got up onto his paws and then he noticed something at the corner of his eyes. His eyes grew big as saucers.

"Guys, there's another one on the launch pad!"

His team is shocked to see another Atlas is indeed on the launch pad. They move away to avoid being its target.

"We have to take down one of them now before they succeed on killing us." Gothitelle said.

"I agree. But we have to be careful this time. We don't want to have missiles blowing us to pieces. Yanmega, Gothitelle, I want you two to attack it from behind. The rest of us shall take them out from the front. If they're about to fire, we move away, got it?" Infernape said.

His team nodded in agreement.

Infernape nodded. "Good, let's go."

Yanmega and Gothitelle flew toward the Atlas on the launch pad, while everyone else moved inside the building. Atlas begins to step forward when it noticed the pair in the air. It aims its rocket launcher toward them but the pair reacted first and releases bullets of ammo into the mech. It didn't do much damages and the Atlas triggered a rocket. The pair dodged and quickly move behind the mech and fired again. The other group are against the doorway, aiming their pistol and assault rifles respectively. The war veteran commanded the order.

"Fire!"

Bullets are fired but Atlas doesn't appear to be in any danger at all. Yanmega flew to the top of its head and struck his omni-tool blade repeatedly. The mech raised its claw at the dragonfly but he moved away before it succeeds.

"Whoa! Close, but no cigar!" Yanmega shouted, firing more bullets into Atlas.

With bullets firing from both sides, Atlas has no way of avoiding it. It's clearly breaking down from all the damage it's taken. Atlas aims its rocket launcher at the larger group.

"Guys, get out of the building!" Infernape exclaimed, running away with his teammates to get out through the same way they'd entered.

The pair kept firing more bullets into the mech, who fired the missiles inside the building and the room exploded. Debris has escaped through the doorway but the group has already moved away from it before it's enveloped them.

The Atlas suddenly exploded, fell forward and hit the floor, hard.

"Yes!" Gothitelle smiled, high-fiving Yanmega.

"Guys, don't forget about the other one!" Whimsicott pointed to the first Atlas, which is heading toward the stairs.

Atlas aims its rocket launcher at the larger group again.

"Run!" Sableye screamed, moving around the corner of the building with her teammates.

Atlas fires a missile and hit the wall, making a large damage.

Gothitelle and Yanmega fired bullets at the Atlas, who fired something different at them.

"Smoke Grenade!" Yanmega exclaimed, quickly dodging the flying, smoking grenade and continued firing. The other group are doing the same thing from the building's corner.

All the bullets the Atlas is taking, caused sparks to be appearing. But it's still managed to fire another missile at the four.

"Move away!" Infernape screamed. He and the others immediately move away once it's aimed at them.

They barely made it out unharmed when the missile destroyed the building's corner, creating a large hold in it.

The pair kept firing at the Atlas and it's become the second to fall and disappeared.

"There's another one!" Yanmega pointed to another Atlas at the landing pad, who is aiming at them and fires a missile.

"Whoa!" Gothitelle exclaimed, barely dodging the missile before she and Yanmega headed straight for Atlas.

The others were heading toward the landing to help their teammates when Whimsicott stopped them.

"Guys, hold on!" Whimsicott exclaimed. "Have any of you noticed the robot inside the mech?"

"Yeah, we've noticed." Jolteon nodded in confirmation.

"If we can take out the robot, we could use it to take out the rest of the mechs!" Whimsicott suggested.

"That's a great idea, Whimsicott!" Infernape nodded in approval.

"If we're gonna do that, then we need to stop Yanmega and Gothitelle from destroying it." Sableye reminded.

"Right, let's go!" Infernape said.

The four headed to the landing pad where Yanmega and Gothitelle just avoid a smoke grenade and continue firing into the third Atlas. They all shouted at them to stop firing.

Gothitelle and Yanmega are surprised but obeyed their order. The pair flew back to the others.

"What's the problem, guys?" Yanmega asked.

"We'll explain but not here." Infernape nodded his head to the mech, who is aiming its rocket launcher at them.

The team quickly move away to avoid the missile, which exploded close to them, and they keep moving until they're at the bottom of the stairs.

"We've stopped you two from attacking the mech because we need it." Infernape said.

"How?" Gothitelle asked, confused but intrigued about a possible plan.

"If we can take out the pilot that was controlling the mech, we could use it to take out the other mechs!" Infernape explained.

"I like the idea." Yanmega smiled.

Gothitelle nodded. "Me too." She turns to Yanmega. "I can distract the mech while you remove the pilot."

"Got it!" Yanmega nodded.

Gothitelle moves out of the hiding and approached the mech, who was stepping forward a bit until it sees the transgender. It fires a missile at her, which she dodged and then fires bullets at it. While Gothitelle is distracting the mech, Yanmega silently moves behind Atlas and landed on the top of its head.

The pilot who is controlling the mech is shocked to see Yanmega is repeatedly striking his omni-tool blade at the cockpit window. Atlas moves its arms to dispose Yanmega.

CRACK!

Yanmega breaks the cockpit window into pieces and pulls the franticly pilot.

"We claimed your machine now." Yanmega smirked, before throwing the pilot harshly to the floor, where Gothitelle immediately killed it.

She and the others are running toward them. "Alright! Now we've got ourselves the mech!" Whimsicott smiled.

Another stomp has happened and the team turned to see an Atlas teleported by the building's corner.

"Who's gonna control the mech?" Infernape asked, quickly.

"I've noticed the pilot's size looked close to mine," Gothitelle said. "I think I'd like to do it."

"Okay, get on it quickly." Infernape ordered.

Gothitelle stepped inside Atlas; slowly descending herself so she wouldn't land harshly and cut herself from the broken glasses from the cockpit window. She's seated down and looks around the control panel.

Gothitelle muttered. "Okay, I need to figure out how to move this…" She notices a joystick on each side. She gripped it and moves it a bit; moving the mech's arms. "So that's how I move the arms…"

"Gothitelle, can you pick up the pace?" Whimsicott shouted.

"I need more time! I've never controlled a mech before!" Gothitelle said, before continuing searching around the control panel.

"Alright, but you don't have long!" Infernape warned.

He and the others move to distract the Atlas, while Yanmega moves ahead and begins flying around the mech, who is now by the stairs.

"Hope this can make me walk…" Gothitelle whispered. She places her feet onto similar pedals.

She started moving her feet, so does the mech.

"Yes!" Gothitelle cheered, pumping her fists before lowering it down to only press a small button on top of the joystick.

The missile has fired and hit the wall, making a mess. Atlas begins to notice her but was more focused on the rest.

Gothitelle said, sheepishly. "Oop." She places her thumb onto the button. "But at least I know how to fire missiles."

She presses the button.

The missile was sent flying through the area and hit its target in the head.

KA-BANG!

The cockpit window has shattered and the pilot was killed as the mech fell backward and hit the ground.

The team wasted no time firing bullets into the mech until it's disappeared.

The team cheered as their plan has worked.

But the celebration hasn't even started yet because another Atlas teleported by the entrance of the upper level.

And it's aiming directly at Gothitelle.

"Shit!" Infernape cursed, firing at the Atlas. The others immediately followed.

It's put the mech off and stopped aiming at Gothitelle. This gives the transgender the chance to moves the mech's rocket launcher to aim at the struggling and fires. Like last time, it's made a direct impact and Atlas fell forward to the floor. The team fires their limitless supply of bullets until it's disappeared.

"Keep an eye out for anymore mech!" Infernape ordered, scanning around the area.

After spending a minute waiting, they have come to the conclusion that the mech Gothitelle is on is the only one left. Gothitelle jumped off and she and her team destroyed it, ending the wave.

"Wave nine's over!"

"It's about time!" Whimsicott said.

"I am shocked - no pun intended - that we've defeated the mechs and survived." Jolteon said, surprised.

The intercom crackled on with Mesprit's voice.

"Hey guys! It's me again! Awesome job for surviving this wave! That was a hard one. But that's not why I'm calling. I just wanted to remind you that the next wave will be the last, and it'll include the mini-wave challenge. You have to find the package and once you do, you have to wait two minutes for the helicopter to arrive. You must deliver the package to the extraction point, which is the landing pad. Another thing to say is that you don't have to kill off all the enemies, okay? Good luck, guys!" The intercom has ended.

"Gothitelle and I can find the package and deliver it to the extraction point." Yanmega volunteered.

"The rest of us can cover your ass while you'd do that." Infernape nodded. "Does everyone agree?"

The team nodded in agreement and then get into position.


Confessional: IT'S SO BADASS! OH YEAH!

Gothitelle: (Smile) Riding that mech was fun, though not so good if some asshole gets their hand on it.

Whimsicott: (Grinning) I would love to ride a mech to school. That'll mark my name on the school's field!


"How do you think the last wave will go?" Tangrowth asked.

During wave nine; Purugly was corrected as they were battling against five Geth Primes. They almost got hit by Geth Primes' pulse cannon time to time. But Purugly's knowledge of this game has been very helpful by explaining to the others that headshots to the Geth Primes' head can cause additional forty percent weapon damage. Chandelure was distracting the enemies so Purugly, Espeon and Tangrowth could fire ammo into its head. Zebstrika had a different method of taking out the Geth Prime by ramming into them and then quickly strikes his omni-tool blade into the Geth Prime's head. The teamwork went remarkably well and as a result; everyone survived the penultimate wave.

The team are still on top of the ramp, next to the control room but Chandelure is floating above the area to be ready to search for the package.

"I think it'll make the earlier waves a cake walk." Qwilfish remarked.

"It'd make sense if the previous enemies appear in this wave. In video games, it's always complicated to complete as you're near the end of the game." Purugly mused.

"I hope the package isn't too heavy for Chandelure to lift." Espeon said. "That'd be more complicated."

Purugly rolled her eyes at Espeon. "It's the last wave! Of course it's gonna be complicated! I bet at least one of us will be eliminated."

"Wave ten!"

One Geth Trooper, one Geth Prime with Turret and One Geth Bomber teleported inside the control room.

Purugly immediately fired at the enemies. "We don't have to kill them! Just get the package!" Purugly shouted, before she and the others begin moving away from the control room. But not before she's received some damage from the enemies too.

"Guys, there's more ahead!" Tangrowth exclaimed, firing at a Geth Trooper and a Geth Rocket Trooper, who both are heading toward them.

Chandelure flew ahead of the others and scanned around the area for the package. "Where is it?" Chandelure muttered.

He yelped in surprise when a missile flew past him. The Geth Rocket Trooper aims at him again but it didn't happen when Tangrowth and Purugly gunned it down.

"Thank you!" Chandelure said, before continuing searching for the package under the bridge, where unfortunately, a Geth Hunter is aiming at him. The ghost lifted it and throws it over a couple of feet. The Geth Hunter was then killed by Purugly and Tangrowth.

Chandelure keeps looking around the area for the package. He's chuckled happily when he's found it next to the large debris. The package is a rectangle-shaped box and it looks quite heavy.

"Everyone, I've found the package!" Chandelure called out to his team.

His team are moving quickly toward Chandelure. Espeon has suddenly fallen down and disappeared.

"Espeon: Game Over!"

The team turned to see two Geth Bombers, including one from the control room and eliminated Espeon, are heading toward them.

"Grab the package!" Zebstrika shouted.

"It's quite heavy!" Chandelure strained, lifting the heavy package but not entirely off the ground.

Tangrowth gripped one end and lifted it; initiating a loud computerized alarm echoing throughout the area.

"Two minutes until arrival!"

"Everybody headed for the bunker!" Purugly shouted, dodging and firing at the Geth Bombers before joining the others as they're heading for the bunker.


Yanmega and Gothitelle are heading toward the landing pad with the package they've found at the right corner of the launch ramp. They're attempting to avoid the ammo from an Atlas, a Combat Engineer, and Assault Trooper and a Centurion.

"Whimsicott: Game Over!"

"Oh, great!" Gothitelle muttered, not pleased with the announcement and receiving hits from the enemies.

Yanmega noticed their teammates, who were exiting from the entrance on the lower level and killing off a Combat Engineer and an Assault Trooper. The pair then continue heading toward the landing pad. More enemies are appearing and the pair fired at them with their pistols. The other three managed to kill off a Nemesis and a Centurion.

"We're almost there!" Yanmega nodded at the landing pad ahead of the pair.

Thanks to the Murphy's Law, an Atlas teleported in front of them, blocking their path to the landing pad.

"Seriously?" Gothitelle shouted.

The pair barely dodged the missile that was flying past them and their teammates who were behind them, and exploded on the wall.

"Get them up the ladder!" Infernape shouted, running back to the ladder with Sableye already climbed up. He lifted Jolteon up since the latter's paws don't go well with ladders.

The pair floated onto the next level and the team came across a Guardian, a Combat Engineer and a Centurion.

"Oh, for the fuck's sake!" Infernape snarled, firing bullets at the enemies from the doorway.

"One minute until arrival!"


During wave eight; the Awesome Azelf were battling against ten Brutes. Those enemies have definitely lived up its name as they're brutal and deadly. Tali's information of Brutes was very useful as they stayed distanced between them and Brutes. It couldn't climb up the ladder, making it easier to eliminate them and completed the wave. Druddigon was pulled out of the challenge when he's gotten too close to one of the Brutes, and was smashed against the floor hard.

In wave nine; the team were battling against the hardest opponent during the challenge; five Banshee. They moved quickly with their biotic teleportation, grabbing their enemies and subsequently impaling them with their hands and causing instant death, which is how Leavanny was pulled out of the challenge. And the scream, the powerful terrifying screams that'd release a damaging and staggering biotic blast over a surprisingly large area. Tali's information once again has been helpful for the team and they've successfully killed them all.

The Awesome Azelf found the package inside the reactor core and now they're back at the loading bay, waiting for the ship to come, while fighting off the enemies.

Xatu and Klinklang are killing off a Husk, a Cannibal and a Marauder. Everyone else is facing off the Ravagers, Swarmers and Husks. There's only less than a minute to go before the ship arrives. They just need to hang on a little longer.

"Guys-there-are-too-many-for-me!" Rapidash shouted, attempting to take out a Ravager and the Swarmers, who has her surrounded by the wall. So much ammunition into Rapidash is enough to pull her out of the challenge.

"Rapidash: Game Over!"

Klinklang avenged Rapidash by eliminating Ravager. But he got hit by a Cannibal, who was destroyed by Ursaring's shooting.

A Banshee teleported by the stairs and released out a terrifying scream, which caused the team to be shaken from it.

"Kill her!" Marowak shouted, firing at Banshee. The others immediately followed.

Xatu senses something and looked behind her to see a helicopter is about twenty feet from them.

"Everyone, the helicopter is arriving!" Xatu informed, before she and her team kill off the Banshee.

"Ten!"

The Unique Uxie except Zebstrika, who was pulled out of the challenge, are fighting off the enemies from the bunker.

"Nine!"

Yanmega flew toward Atlas, firing bullets.

"Eight!"

Klinklang's telekinesis slammed a Marauder to the floor.

"Seven!"

Tangrowth isn't small enough to crouch behind the arch. So he's eliminated in the forehead.

"Tangrowth: Game Over!"

"Six!"

Gothitelle eliminated an Assault Trooper, blowing its head.

"Five!"

Marowak kick the Husk back and then struck his omni-tool blade into the head.

"Four!"

Purugly looks sideways to see the enemies are entering the bunker from the other side.

"Three!"

Sableye is facing a Phantom from a few feet.

"Two!"

A Brute punches Ursaring flying and hit Azumarill in the path.

"One!"

A helicopter made contact to the ground.


The hosts and the contestants who were eliminated from the challenge are watching the large monitor as the teams are attempting to get into the helicopter with the package. But few of them were eliminated before they even stepped inside and two of them were eliminated when they're inside the helicopter. All three helicopters take off and leave the area from distance.

"Game Over!"

Mesprit smiled. "That concluded today's challenge. Let's get them out of the VR."

Uxie presses a few buttons and looks at the remaining contestants who are getting out of the chair, although first-timers with the VR fell to the floor. Those weren't the first-timers helped them get up from their numbness side-effect. The contestants walked over to the hosts.

"Guys, that was awesome!" Azelf grinned. "You managed to make this challenge so epic with your shooting, telekinesis and your omni-tool! So glad we made the decision to do this!"

"You all did a fantastic job as all three teams completed the challenge. But unfortunately for one team, they'll be facing the Bonfire Ceremony and spending a night at the Loser Cabin." Mesprit looked at Uxie. "Uxie... care to explain the result?"

"Yes, Mesprit." Uxie nodded, holding a clipboard. "Everyone, before I reveal the result, you should all know that the points you received is depending on how many teammates survived the challenge, your performances in the mini-wave challenge, and how quickly did you managed to kill off the enemies in the waves. I believe it's best to announce the losing team first because it's so obvious, some of you already know which team loses."

The contestants who were eliminated before the ten seconds countdown in the final wave nodded, leaving the rest worried.

"The team that will send someone off the island at the Bonfire Ceremony and spend a night at the Loser Cabin is…

"Unique Uxie!"

Chandelure, Purugly, Qwilfish and Tangrowth groaned with the rest looked down in shame. The other teams are relieved of not having to deal with the elimination and the Loser Cabin.

"Why did we lose?" Qwilfish asked.

"Because, while you were quick to kill off the enemies in some waves, only one person actually survived the challenge and that person is none other than Purugly." Uxie explained. "Not to mention, you're the only team to have failed a mini-challenge. The other two teams had completed all three of them."

"That sucks." Ninjask muttered.

"Quite indeed." Uxie nodded. "Now, Mysterious Mesprit and Awesome Azelf, both of you have done well, one team performed better than the other but it's a very close result. The winner of the Mass Effect challenge and a night in the Winner Cabin is…

"The Awesome Azelf!"

Everyone except Xatu and Klinklang cheered at another victory, while the Mysterious Mesprit weren't pleased they're not the winning team but not too disappointed, since they're immune. However, one person isn't happy.

"What?!" Octillery exclaimed in shock. "You mean I'm not going back to the Winner Cabin? That's not fair!"

"I'm sorry, Octillery. The deciding factor for the Awesome Azelf's victory is because they have four members; Klinklang, Marowak, Xatu and Tali survived the challenge. Your team had Gothitelle, Infernape and Yanmega, which is three." Uxie explained.

Octillery crosses her tentacles in a huff.

"Awesome Azelf, your teamwork today is great. Maybe the other teams could learn a thing or two from you, so congratulations on winning your second challenge in a row." Mesprit smiled. "Mysterious Mesprit, you may not have won the challenge but your effort was enough to keep you safe for another day. Well done."

"Unique Uxie, your lack of teamwork has proven your downfall today. You've got a few hours to make your decision before seeing Uxie at the Bonfire Ceremony." Azelf explained.

"Until then, you may leave the building." Uxie said.

The contestants begin to leave the building. Zebstrika, being a sexist asshole, said another sexist comment.

"How did we possibly lose this? We have more guys-" Qwilfish stabbed her spikes into the zebra's hind legs. "OW!"

"Shut up!" Qwilfish angrily whispered, before hopping away with all the women and some men glaring at him.

Zebstrika narrows his eyes at the hopping blowfish.


Confessional: Qwilfish used Poison Jab! It's super effective!

Ninjask: The Mass Effect challenge was definitely challenging and the fact we've lost again, sucks.

Rapidash: (Smile) And-the-fact-we-won-again-is-great!"

Infernape: (Leaning against the wall while staring up the ceiling) All that shooting and running and grabbing and hacking and delivering, reminded me of my time during World War Three.

Espeon: It was absolutely awful! Having to participate in that vile devilish first-person-shooter game made me feel I have betrayed Arceus' code and possibly leaned toward Giratina's! (She stares into the ceiling while clapping her paws together) Oh, Arceus, please forgive me…

Druddigon: (Smirk) Challenging against some of the really tough Reapers was a hell of a lot of fun.

Whimsicott: (Smile) It was awesome with the- (mimicking the shooting) Ba-ba-ba-ba-ba! And the- (mimicking the slashing someone with an omni-tool blade) Slash! And the- (mimicking lifting someone before slamming it down) Slam!

Vanilluxe: (Smile) I didn't last long during the challenge but it was enjoyable.

Azumarill: (Rubbing her ears) It w-was definitely loud… I-I think I'm still particularly deaf from all t-that gunfire…

Yanmega: (Smile) I would love to do it again if I could.

Purugly: (Grinning with complete happiness) It was the best non-sexual time I've ever had in my entire life! I've played Mass Effect in VR and kissed Garrus! Woo-hoo!

Zebstrika: It's clear I'm on the chopping block tonight because of the ladies. But if I can convince the guys to vote for either Espeon or Qwilfish, I can still be here for another day and our team will have a better chance of winning challenges.


Outside Middle Cabin

The Girls Power are sitting on the Middle Cabin's step, chatting about spending a night in the Middle Cabin.

"We may not have won the challenge, I'm just happy I finally get to sleep in bed tonight." Furret smiled, pleased to sleep on a soft mattress.

"But it's not as totes amazing as the Winner Cabin's heavenly bed…" Octillery muttered.

"Cheer up, Octillery. As least it's better than sleeping outside in the sand, right?" Whimsicott said, leaning against the railing.

"Maybe."

Gothitelle looks over both side of the railing and then checked under the steps, which made the other girls look at her, confusedly.

"What are you doing?" Whimsicott asked.

"I was making sure Sableye isn't under the steps." Gothitelle explained. "I don't want her to know we're in an alliance and expose this information to everyone."

"Ah, good idea." Whimsicott nodded. "We definitely need to get rid of her as soon we're up for elimination."

"I guess that's one good thing about losing the challenge and facing elimination." Furret mused.

She looks down thoughtfully before facing the others, suspiciously.

"By the way, we're not actually throwing the challenge, are we?"

Gothitelle shook her head. "No! Of course not! The only good thing about throwing the challenge is we can get rid of someone who is a threat to our game or someone who's really annoying or horrible."

"Or both." Octillery said.

"Good. Doing that reminded me of Scott from Total Drama Revenge of the Island." Furret became angry as she's talking about him while shaking and figgling with her paws. "He's the worst contestant I've seen on that show! His strategy still makes no sense to me no matter how much I think about it!"

"Do you really hate him just for that?" Whimsicott said, raising a brow.

Furret stared at the steps and begins to drift off into daydream but she's snapped out of it.

"No. It's more of a personal reason. I'm not telling you all that because I've only known you guys for a few days."

"That's fair enough." Gothitelle shrugged.

"Why were you figgling your paws like that?" Octillery asked, weirded out by Furret's behaviour.

"I do that sometimes, whether it's for fun or emotional stuff, okay?" Furret replied.

"Oh."


Confessional: Shaking the music!

Octillery: What kind of person would be shakin' and figgling their paws like that? It's weird.

Gothitelle: Judging from her behaviour, it's possible she may be diagnosed with autism. I don't know if she wants us to know about it or not. I'll wait for a few days to see what happens.

Furret: If the others find out about my condition, it's fine. It's just that some people from my schools bullied me due to my autism when I was younger. I'd like to wait a few more days before telling the others, unless they already know. Believe it or not, you could look like a normal person as autism can be a hidden condition.


Campground

"Jolteon, are you a transgender?"

"Did you commit a robbery?

"Are you from a secret organisation?"

"What's the real reason you're here?"

"What are you going to spend the prize money on if you win?"

Jolteon's patience is decreasing every question Sableye asked. He's trying to ignore her as he's walking toward the Mess Hall to have something to eat but Sableye is not giving up until her questions are answered. Having enough of it, he bolted away from her and enters the forest.

"You can run all you'd like, Jolteon, but I will find out all your secrets!" Sableye shouted to the forest.

Marowak scowled, walking over to her. "Sableye, if you keep invading people's personal space, you're gonna be voted off very soon."

"Which is why I'm asking as many questions as I can to everyone." Sableye said. "And I can stay here longer if I can find an idol that'd keep me safe in the game."

"How would you feel if someone is invading your personal space and attempts to pry for your secret?" Marowak asked.

"I wouldn't be happy since nobody has the right to know my secrets."

"You see? You hated people invading your personal space and yet, you'd do it to everyone, that's hypocritical!"

"Better them than me." Sableye shrugged. "Besides, my boss told me to uncover as many secrets as I can on this show. The more secrets I've uncovered, the more I get paid. I'm just doing my job."

Marowak crosses his arms. "People like you are vultures. I can see why some celebrities are going through hell during their fame and glory."

"Uncovering secrets can lead to compelling results and possibly uncover their true personality. In this game, there are people who aren't who they say they are." Sableye stated.

Marowak nodded. "I agree with you on the second part. You never know who'd be hiding themselves from the others."

"That's why I'm spying on Jolteon! He's clearly hiding something but what is it? That's the main question."

"Right now, you're not gonna be able to get anything out of him. I'll admit it is a bit suspicious but he and I are not on the same team and we were only here for a few days, so I don't know him much."

"Well, I'm going to find out about him no matter how long it takes!" Sableye declared, before gesturing "I've got my eyes on you" at Marowak and leaving. Marowak didn't say another word until she's too far away to hear him.

"Yeah… I've got my eyes on you too." Marowak mumbled.


Confessional: So does the million cameras!

Marowak: You never know who you can really trust here. It'd be the same case if I'm in a zombie apocalypse. Your closest ally could actually be a rapist and/or murderer and want to commit something horrible to you. It's happened in some zombie series.

Sableye: Marowak doesn't seem to be hiding anything big. But I'll keep an eye on him just like I did with everyone else.


Middle Cabin (Girls)

"The challenge was actually fun, although I'm a bit annoyed I was eliminated before we went inside the helicopter." Qwilfish said, waiting outside the bathroom, talking to Purugly, who's inside the bathroom.

"I just loved it! I didn't care whatever result we'd get. I've participated in a Mass Effect Live-Action-Role Play in a Virtual Reality and I kissed Garrus on those heavenly lips!" Purugly opened the door and stepped out all happily and swooning at the thought of having kissed Garrus. Qwilfish is put off with Purugly's uncharacteristic moment.

Purugly's grinning goofily. "It was definitely the best non-sexual time I've ever had in my entire life! If I could go back there again with Garrus by my side, I'd do it in a heartbeat!"

"Erm… that's good to hear you've enjoyed it." Qwilfish blinked, hopping into the bathroom. "Could you please shut the door?"

"Sure." Purugly closed the bathroom door and then noticed Espeon, who seems to be praying beside the bed. "What the fuck are you doing?" Purugly asked in her normal state again, walking over to the praying Christian.

Espeon flinches at the profanity Purugly just spoke, opened her eyes and glanced sideways at Purugly. "I am praying to Arceus for forgiveness for participating in that awful first-shooter game."

"All of us have to do it, why not tell Arceus about that?" Purugly asked.

"It's complicated. Whether it's intentional or not, Arceus would still scold me for being involved in that game." Espeon explained.

"That sounds stupid to me." Purugly scoffed.

"Don't mock the Lord, Purugly," Espeon glared. "Arceus doesn't tolerate violence no matter how big or small. A scum like you wouldn't understand."

"Of course I don't, because it's so fucking stupid with Arceus goddamn rules would spank you in the ass for something you didn't have a choice!" Purugly scowled.

The cats exchange glares until one of them spoke.

"Why am I talking to you? I don't even like you!" Purugly stormed out of the room.

"I don't tolerate you too." Espeon said, disgusted before resuming praying.

Qwilfish left the bathroom through a small door, which is for small Pokémon, and looks around the room to see only Espeon remained.

"I see Purugly has left." Qwilfish said.

Espeon nodded. "Good. Now I can actually finish my prayer, if that's okay with you?"

"No, it's fine. Go ahead." Qwilfish nodded.

"Thank you." Espeon then resumed her prayer as Qwilfish watched her for a moment before hopping out of the room.


Confessional: Tell Arceus I said hi!

Espeon: (Praying and staring at the ceiling) Arceus, my apology for having to listen to Purugly's profanity, foul words. I vow to eliminate her from the island and make this place much cleaner…

Qwilfish: With Purugly and Espeon going at each other's throats, I guess it's up to me to be the peacemaker between them. That's ironic since when I was younger, I was the opposite of peace. Being married to my husband and becoming a cop made me what I am today. Be grateful for that.


Middle Cabin (Boys)

"No, Zebstrika! We're not gonna vote them off!" Ninjask scowled.

Zebstrika was attempting to persuade the Unique Uxie guys to vote for either Espeon or Qwilfish due to their perceived performances during the challenge. So far, he's getting nowhere.

"But guys, if we don't vote off either of them, we're going back to the Bonfire Ceremony next time!" Zebstrika pleaded.

"Qwilfish actually managed to get to the end of the challenge, which is better than your performance!" Tangrowth angrily said.

"The only reason she'd gotten that far is because we carried her to the end!"

"Maybe, but she's a better teammate than you because of your sexist remarks to the women." Chandelure stated.

"You do not understand that those are facts!" Zebstrika growled.

"No. Here's something that maybe you'll understand!" Tangrowth stepped in front of Zebstrika. "All of us are voting for you tonight to get you out of this island and we never have to hear another one of your sexist comments ever again!" Tangrowth snarled.

"Guys, please! The atmosphere is getting negative every second!" Vanilluxe worried, not liking the tension between the guys and Zebstrika.

"I'm sorry, Vanilluxe, but we're voting Zebstrika off tonight and we're not changing our mind." Tangrowth crosses his arms, glaring directly at Zebstrika.

"Then you can count me out." Vanilluxe declared.

"What?" Ninjask gasped.

Vanilluxe shook his head. "I'm sorry, but I'm not voting anyone off the island. There are people here that need the money more than I do. I'll be casting a vote to myself every time I'm up for elimination."

"Are you really going to do that?" Chandelure asked.

"Absolutely." Vanilluxe nodded. "If you give Zebstrika some time, he could come to terms that women are just as good as men."

"No I won't. Those facts were with me for a long time and what made you think it's gonna change anytime soon?" Zebstrika said.

"Sorry, Vanilluxe, but we're going to vote him off tonight. We've made our decision." Ninjask stated.

"It's pointless trying to get you all to understand." Zebstrika sighed, before storming out of the cabin.

A moment later, perplexed Yanmega and Infernape appeared with their suitcases.

"Hello, Infernape and Yanmega." Vanilluxe greeted.

"Hey." Infernape nodded, putting his suitcase next to one of the bunk beds.

"We saw Zebstrika stormed out, is there's anything going on here?" Yanmega asked, putting his suitcase next to Infernape's.

"He's just pissed that we're voting him off tonight." Tangrowth explained.

"Tangrowth… the way you've stood up to Zebstrika with fiery passion in your eyes, I don't think any of us have seen you like this. Are you okay?" Chandelure asked, concerned.

Tangrowth leaned against the wall. "I'm fine. I just hate discrimination. People would berate people for being different, even if it's only a tiny detail. I had people berated me for being gay through junior high and high school."

"Sorry to hear that, man." Ninjask mumbled.

Tangrowth shrugged. "It's fine. College is much better as the students are mature and they have zero-tolerate policy to bullying."

"I wish every school in the world would have that policy. It'd make the school safer and more enjoyable." Vanilluxe smiled.

"Same." Infernape nodded. "So you're all gonna vote the sexist off?"

Vanilluxe shook his head. "Not me. I'm casting a vote to myself every time I'm up for elimination."

Yanmega blinked. "Really? Why?"

"I only came to this show to have fun. I know there are people here that'd need the money. Does either of you need the money?" Vanilluxe asked.

"Yeah, I've actually came to this show to get the money for me and my fiancé's wedding and honeymoon." Yanmega replied.

Vanilluxe's showing off his two big smiles. "You see? That's why I'm doing it. Even if I made it to the end and won, I'd share the prize money with you all if I'm allowed to. If not, I can give most of them to the charities."

"Wow. You would really do all that?" Yanmega gasped. He has no idea the ice-cream man would be kind enough to eliminate himself to give other contestants a chance to win the million dollars.

"Of course." Vanilluxe nodded.

Infernape furrowed his eyes, suspiciously at the kind, ice-cream man.


Confessional: Giving is a wonderful thing! Unless you're giving stuff to spoil brats.

Tangrowth: When we send Zebstrika home, the girls can relax and this island will become peaceful.

Chandelure: I was considering bringing Vanilluxe into my alliance but having to know that Vanilluxe will vote for himself for all the eliminations to come. (He brought out his journal and a pen) He's off the list for my possible allies. (He drew a line across Vanilluxe's name)

Infernape: Vanilluxe appears to be nice… too nice. Learning this during my time in Triple War, which is another name for World War Three, I learnt that nobody is that nice. I remembered meeting someone like him. He joined our troop with a big smile on his face. He's such a kiss up but he'd clean the shower rooms, feed us food and make our boots shiny enough to see our faces, all with a smile on his face. (Gaze darkening) When our guard was down, he signalled his own troop and killed half of us. We killed the kiss up, of course. But… ever since then, we were always on our guard whenever a newbie joined us. I'm just saying that it's impossible for anyone to be that nice. So seeing Vanilluxe willing to vote for himself every time he's up for elimination is rather suspicious. I'm going to keep an eye on him to see if he has a hidden layer beneath him. Or I could have Sableye to do it for me. But right now… (Blowing smoke to the ceiling) I don't trust Mr. Nice Guy.

Vanilluxe: Even if Zebstrika is going home tonight, I just hope he'd leave with his head held high.


Klinklang is staring at the VR building in front of him before moving over to the security control systems and scanned it. It's the kind of system where you'd have to scan your eyes. He's finished scanning the security control systems and his eyes glowed bright green and scanned it over the security control systems again.

He's attempting to hack the security control systems and attempting to get inside the building.

That is, until the intercom on the VR building's wall crackled on and Azelf's voice is heard with annoyance.

"Klinklang, I don't know what you're doing, but you need to quit it. The VR cost a lot of money and we don't want to pay the damage because of you hacking it!"

Apparently, Klinklang isn't listening as he's continuing hacking the security.

"Hey! I ordered you to stop right now, or we'll disqualify you! Did you hear my warning, Klinklang?" Azelf shouted, becoming furious.

Klinklang's eyes glow back to white and stop hacking.

Azelf pleased with Klinklang obeyed his order. "Good! Now step away from the VR, and don't go near it again unless we'd said so!"

Emotionless once again, Klinklang floated away from the security.


Confessional: Saved by the intercom!

Klinklang: BZZT, HACKING THE VIRTUAL REALITY BUILDING'S SECURITY CONTROL SYSTEMS IS FORTY-SIX PERCENT. THE HACKING MUST BE COMPLETED, BZZT.

Azelf: Thanks to him, now we have to put a motion detector onto the VR building, so he wouldn't attempt to hack into the security again. I don't know what his plan is, but we've gotta make sure that isn't happening.

Sableye: Looks like another contestant is high on my exposures list.


Winner Cabin

Leavanny is in the kitchen as she's pouring coffee into the mug. She put the coffee jug away, turned around and yelped.

"Hello, Leavanny." Xatu greeted, standing next to the teacher, pouring hot water into her own mug.

"How did I not notice you there?" Leavanny hissed, clutching her chest, still recovering from shock. "Do you make people jump every time you do that?"

Xatu walked to the bin with tea bag, open it and put the tea bag into the bin. "I apologise for almost giving you a heart attack. I can be very quiet and being unnoticeable to others whenever I'm in a crowd." She walked back to Leavanny.

"I can believe that." Leavanny muttered, drinking coffee before asking her a question. "Why did you enter this show?"

"Couple of months ago, I had a vision of myself being on Total Pokémon Alphabet. I must've been there for reasons, so I applied for the show and now I'm here." Xatu explained, stirring her tea. "I know you're here because students from school filmed you from your home and sent an audition tape to the producer as revenge for being a 'witch'. You tried to convince the producers to not enter you in this game. But once they'd chosen you, there's nothing you could do but compete for a million dollars."

"When I get back to school, I'm going to give them detentions for the rest of their school life and triple their homework!" Leavanny growled.

"You may be sent here by students' vengeance, but maybe being here could be a benefit for you. Spending time on this island; playing this game can change people, for better or worse. I cannot tell about your future but being negative shall not help you." Xatu mused, drinking her tea.

Leavanny stared at her coffee silently for a moment before looking up at Xatu.

"That's stupid. You may be a psychic but you don't know me." Leavanny muttered.

She left the kitchen, leaving Xatu alone. The psychic sighed.

"And you don't know me either…"


Confessional: I wanna know what happens in this game!

Xatu: In this game, there'll be plenty of surprises. There'll be moments where it'll become more than just a game.

Leavanny: Maybe Druddigon was right about Xatu being a crazy bird.


Mess Hall

Ursaring and Azumarill are sitting at their team's table, waiting for their dinner. Not only that, Ursaring is talking to his wife about whom to eliminate if their team was up for elimination.

"We need to get rid of anyone who could be a threat to my game." Ursaring mused. "Leavanny is only here because some fucking kids sent an audition tape to the producer. She hasn't shown anything as a threat so far. Marowak has shown leadership today but I think I could easily take him down. I don't know much about Druddigon but he's definitely bugging both of us. Rapidash is seriously fast and outruns everyone, which is bad for racing challenges. Xatu is fucking creepy but she's good at challenges. And as for Klinklang; that guy is a fucking robot and dominated in every challenge so far. We've gotta get rid of him first. Do you understand everything I was saying, Azumarill?" Ursaring is hoping that his slave wife had been listening, which she has.

"Y-yeah." Azumarill nodded.

Ursaring was about to speak more when Druddigon stepped inside the Mess Hall. The dragon notices the couple and nods before sitting across them.

"Hey, Druddigon," Ursaring nodded. "You're here for the dinner too?"

"There's nothin' much to do right now. I might as well come here and get the best food." Druddigon said.

"You've made a good point!" Ursaring laughed. "That's why Azumarill and I are here, right, honey?"

"Yeah." Azumarill nodded.

"You can drop the act, Ursaring, nobody is around." Druddigon said, gesturing the room.

Ursaring and Azumarill stopped smiling and replaced with shock. They didn't expect to hear that from Druddigon.

"I bet your pardon?" Ursaring asked, raising a brow.

Druddigon smirked as he's crossed his arms and lean forward. "Come on… you really think I didn't know about you;" Pointed to Ursaring. "The dominant, abusive husband?"

Ursaring blinked and lowered his jaw a bit.

"Or the weak, slave wife?" The redneck moves his finger to Azumarill, who gasped and covered her mouth.

"I can tell from the moment you both stepped onto the dock." Druddigon smirked even more when the couple are even more flabbergasted. "I've seen shit like this back home. I'm surprised nobody caught on yet."

Ursaring forced his jaw to shut and both of his fists are trembling. "W-what do you want from us?" Ursaring croaked. His face is becoming red.

"I just wanna let ya know that I know. Don't worry, I ain't gonna tell nobody because this ain't my business. It's yours. I wanna see how long your little act will last before the others figure it out." Druddigon said.

He finds it amusing that the married couple remained speechless at the discovery from Druddigon's information.

The intercom crackled on with Uxie's voice.

"Attention, Unique Uxie! The dinner is here and you've got until the end of the dinner to cast your vote! That is all!" The intercom ended.

Rapidash suddenly stepped inside the Mess Hall.

"That-was-a-good-running-beside-the-sunset!" Rapidash smiled. But her smile disappeared when she's noticed the tension between Druddigon and the married couple. "What's-going-on-here?"

"Nothing… nothing at all…" Ursaring gritted his teeth and tightened his trembling fists more under the table.


Confessional: A contestant knows the Big Bad's secret on Day 1? You didn't expect that, did you?

Ursaring: (He's growling and punches the wall) FUCK! How could a fucking redneck know this?! I can't have him walking around the island with a smug grin on his face and spilling it to everyone! He needs to leave! NOW!

Azumarill: (Shock) D-Druddigon knows about us? If-if he does, maybe I could ask him to help me expose Ursaring without Ursaring's targeting back to me!

Druddigon: So yeah, I know. It's quite obvious in my opinion. Am I gonna do anything about it? No. Cause it's ain't my business. I don't mind if anyone else has figured it out about those two. They can do whatever they want with them. (Lean against the wall, hands behind his head) But I'm just gonna kick back, relax and watch the bear's plan go down.

Ninjask: I'm voting for Zebstrika. He's all brawn and no brain when he kept saying that men are stronger and smarter than women. Plus, he reminded me of my gym teacher when I was in middle school. That guy was a jerk.

Espeon: I know I feel like I'm wasting it since we all know who's going home. But I am voting for Purugly for unleashing profanity at me and to let her be warned… because the Lord is coming to punish her.

Vanilluxe: I'm voting for myself. I'm going to do this for all the eliminations I'll attend.

Zebstrika: (Smirk) People may be voting for me, but I know I'm not going home tonight. I vote for Qwilfish.


Bonfire Ceremony

The sun has just disappeared into the horizon and the moon is seen in the sky with clouds. The members of the Unique Uxie except for Vanilluxe, of course, are glaring at Zebstrika, who glared back at Qwilfish. Espeon and Purugly glared at Zebstrika and each other. Uxie appeared with a tray, which contains seven Poffins, and placed them onto the pedestal.

"Hello, everyone." Uxie greeted. "Welcome to another elimination where another one of you will be eliminated from the game. Qwilfish, is there a reason why your team has lost today's challenge?"

"I believe we've lost because some of us can't hold a gun, which had made it harder for us. And… because we're the only team to have failed a mini-wave challenge, it's a definite loss." Qwilfish replied.

"Vanilluxe, you were pulled out of the challenge because you sacrificed yourself for Ninjask. Do you think your team could've placec first or second if you haven't done that?" Uxie asked.

"First of all, I don't regret my decision at all. And second of all, I don't think my choice would've made any major difference. We may still lose or possibly place first or second. It doesn't matter since that's all in the past and all we can do now is continue the game and try our best next time." Vanilluxe replied.

"Purugly, who do you think will be going home tonight?" Uxie asked.

"Duh! It's a no brainer! We're voting off Zebstrika for giving us ladies a bad name." Purugly glared at Zebstrika, who glared back.

"Zebstrika, is that true?" Uxie asked, even though he already knows the answer.

"Yeah… I know I'm going to have votes tonight. But I think the result will be unexpected." Zebstrika said.

"We'll see. Now, if I've called your name, you'll be receiving a Poffin and you'll be safe from elimination. The contestant who is not being given one must be asked to walk down the Dock of Shame and ride the Wailord of Losers." Uxie declared. "But before I give out the Poffins, if anyone wants to play an idol, now would be the time to do so."

The Unique Uxie stayed silent until Zebstrika stand up.

"I said the result will be unexpected and this is why." Zebstrika recalled, bringing out an idol. The only thing noticeable about it, it's got a question mark on it.

Unique Uxie gasped as Zebstrika stepped over to Uxie and gave him the idol. Uxie looks around the idol for a bit and then faces the others.

"The rules of Total Pokémon Alphabet state that if a player plays the Guess Idol then they must guess how many votes they will get. The difference between their guess and the real vote count will become their new vote count." Uxie looks at Zebstrika. "Zebstrika, you must guess how many votes you think you'll receive tonight."

Zebstrika faces the surprised women. "I know the ladies are voting for me… and I know some guys are also voting for me." He looks at the guys.

"My guess on how many votes I'll be receiving tonight is… five." Zebstrika answered.

"Very well. This idol is now officially out of the game." Uxie declared, throwing the idol into the fire pit.

Zebstrika went to his stump with confidence, while his teammates are clearly worried.

Chandelure quickly did the math and sighed. "Oh no…"

"What is it?" Tangrowth asked.

"Tangrowth, please remain silent until all the Poffins are given out." Uxie said, holding a Poffin using telekinesis. "The first member of the Unique Uxie to be safe is Espeon.

"Ninjask."

"Tangrowth."

"Chandelure."

"Zebstrika."

"WHAT?!" Unique Uxie exclaimed, except for Vanilluxe, who just simply gasped, Chandelure since he knows the answer and Zebstrika, of course, who smiled in triumph.

Qwilfish couldn't believe Zebstrika is safe tonight. She noticed the zebra is smirking smugly at her. She's let out a quiet gasp and solemnly faces the ground.

Zebstrika smirked victoriously at succeeding in eliminating Qwilfish.

"Qwilfish."

His celebration was cut short and he looks at Qwilfish, who is also surprised to be safe.

The two remaining contestants who have not received a Poffin yet are Purugly and Vanilluxe. Purugly is becoming even more nervous but Vanilluxe smiles reassuringly to attempt to calm her, which he's succeeded a bit.

"I honestly didn't expect either of you to be in the bottom two tonight. But you must've received votes for reasons." Uxie stated, holding up the last Poffin. "The final Poffin goes to…

"Purugly."

Uxie throws the Poffin to Purugly, who catches it, but didn't care about it.

The team is silent, even Uxie.

"No… n-no way…" Tangrowth quietly said.

"How could this happen…" Espeon gasped, in complete shock of seeing one of the nicest players in the game out.

"Guys, it's okay." Vanilluxe smiled reassuringly.

"No, it's not okay!" Ninjask shouted. "You deserve to stay in the game, not Zebstrika!"

Vanilluxe shrugged. "Then Zebstrika just made a very good move." He nodded to Zebstrika. "Congratulations for your gameplay, Zebstrika."

Zebstrika looks down, guilty.

"Vanilluxe… I'm sorry." He looks up at Vanilluxe. "I didn't vote for you, I voted for Qwilfish."

"Don't worry, Zebstrika, I forgive you." Vanilluxe smiled. "You were just playing the game. Anyone could've been voted off tonight. I'm just glad it's me."

Tangrowth stood up, walked over to Vanilluxe and wrapped his long arms around him. Everyone else joined in a group hug.

Vanilluxe blushed. "Aw, guys! You're making me blush!"

"Vanilluxe, I'm sorry to say this, but it's time for you to go." Uxie said, sighing unhappily.

"I understand." Vanilluxe nodded.

"We'll see you take off." Chandelure said.

The team and Uxie went over to the dock. Vanilluxe floated onto to Wailord and faced his former teammates, smiling sadly.

"Guys, don't be gloomy and depressed long, it's not healthy."

"Don't worry, we promise we won't." Purugly stated.

Wailord is beginning to leave the dock and Unique Uxie started waving.

"Farewell, Vanilluxe! Arceus is on your side wherever you're going!" Espeon waved.

"Goodbye, Unique Uxie! Good luck and have fun during the game!" Vanilluxe smiled.

His team kept waving until him and the Wailord is out of sight. Uxie approaches the team.

"That was an unexpected elimination. But it's proven why we've brought the idols into this game. When idols are in play, nobody is truly safe. You may all go back to the campground." Uxie mused.

Uxie leaves the dock and Unique Uxie are heading back to campground with heavy hearts.

"This doesn't make any sense." Chandelure muttered.

"What's that?" Ninjask asked.

"If Zebstrika had six votes like we expected, there should've been a tie between him, Vanilluxe and Qwilfish with one vote each." Chandelure explained. "But Purugly was in the bottom two…"

"That's because I voted for her." Espeon confessed.

The team stopped walking by the end of the dock.

"That's not a huge surprise." Purugly admitted, glaring at her.

"Why did you vote for her?" Tangrowth asked.

Not comfortable with the gay hairdresser's speaking to her but she answers his question. "Because, even though Zebstrika would be voted off, I voted for Purugly as a warning… 'That the Lord is coming to punish her.'"

"I'd like to see 'The Lord' try." Purugly scoffed, much to Espeon's annoyance.

"So if Zebstrika had five votes, then it should've been a tie between Vanilluxe, myself and Purugly." Qwilfish said. "But that never happened."

"Then the only possible answer for this… is I got four votes casted against me and someone voted for Vanilluxe." Zebstrika said, realization dawning on him.

"You are correct, but the question is; who voted for Vanilluxe?" Chandelure asked.

No word is spoken except exchanging looks.

"Looks like no one is gonna own up." Purugly stated.

Tangrowth stated. "Well, we'll find out and when we do, we'll vote them off. A move like that could make this person a potential threat to our game."

"And there are still eleven idols on this island." Espeon recalled.

"We've been here for about four days now, and the game is gonna last for another three weeks." Ninjask reminded.

Qwilfish frowned at the information. "Something tells me that this game is gonna be very stressful." Qwilfish muttered.

Her team nodded in agreement and headed back to the campground.

Purugly is walking behind her team. She looked at the fire pit and looked back on something about nearly two hours ago.


Zebstrika stormed out of the Middle Cabin, annoyed that his team didn't agree to vote with him.

He's about to head to the woods for a run and possibly look for an idol.

"Psst! Zebstrika!"

He heard the whisper and turned to see Purugly behind the Middle Cabin, gesturing him to come over.

He frowned but walked over to her. "What do you want, Purugly?"

"Here! Take it!" Purugly whispered, giving something to Zebstrika.

Zebstrika looked at something from Purugly's paw; it's a Guess Idol. He looks at Purugly, confusedly.

"What is it?"

"It's a Guess Idol!" Purugly whispered, fiercely. "This is one of the twelve idols in this game!"

"What?" Zebstrika gasped. "Why are you showing me this?"

"'Cause this is the only way you'll be safe tonight! When you've played this, guess number four, five or six! Here, take it!" Purugly forced an Idol to the zebra, which he's taken it, looking at it before glancing back at the cat.

"Why are you helping me?" Zebstrika asked, still bewildered as to why one of the ladies would be helping him.

"That's not important!" Purugly places a paw to Zebstrika's snout. "The important thing is; you play the idol and don't tell anyone I gave you that!"

Before Zebstrika could speak for more questions, Purugly quickly walked away.

Zebstrika blinked at what just happened and stared at the idol. But then he showed a smirk and walked away with an idol.


Purugly looked away from the fire pit. But without letting anyone seeing it, she's showing a sinister smile with her front fangs appearing.


Confessional: Welcome to the game…

Purugly: Okay, I should probably explain what just happened tonight. From the moment Zebstrika had stepped onto the dock, the girls hated him for saying all those sexist remarks about us girls. I hated him too. But, I can't let him leave yet. You see, the girls will keep targeting him until he's gone and that target is being moved away from me. I want the target to be away from me for as long as possible. But to make it happen; I need to keep Zebstrika in the game. I don't like it, but it's the best plan I've got at the moment. That's why I gave him the idol. I found it during the Easter Eggs challenge. Sableye almost saw me with it. (Stroking her twisted tail) Luckily, my tail makes a purrrrrfect hiding place. After the challenge, I put it in my bag. I'm just lucky that Sableye hasn't found it at all. Once we've lost today's challenge, I knew Zebstrika would be voted off by the others. So I quietly gave him the idol and told him to guess four to six. But if he was still going home after using the idol, it isn't a big loss to me. In fact; I'd be happy if he's gone. But when he guessed five, when he's really had six, I knew he'd be safe. After Vanilluxe was gone, my team was wondering; "who voted for Vanilluxe?" (Smirk) You can all stop guessing now because it was me. Why did I eliminate him? Because he's a threat. Not a physical threat, but a social threat. Even if he's gonna vote for himself every single time, nobody would vote for him because they all like him! He's seriously nice and makes some pretty awesome ice-cream! That's a winning combination there. Yeah, I'm sad that he's gone and I'd rather have him around over the sexist zebra. Unfortunately, only one person is gonna win the million dollars… and you're all looking at the winner right here. (Wink at the camera)


The hosts are at the dock. But this time, they're feeling a bit sad about Vanilluxe's elimination.

"Well, that concludes another exciting episode." Azelf muttered.

Mesprit crosses her arms and was on the edge of showing her veins on her forehead. "I'm really annoyed that sexist survived!" She faces the camera, huffily. "How will the other teams react when they find out that Vanilluxe was sent home instead of Zebstrika?"

"Will Unique Uxie ever win a challenge?" Uxie asked, rhetorically.

"And will the remaining idols display unexpected results, like tonight?" Azelf said. "Find out next time on Total."

"Pokemon." Uxie said.

"Alphabet." Mesprit said, huffily. "Man, this sucks…"

In a dramatic elimination, Mr. Nice, Ice-Cream Man is outta the game!

I really like Vanilluxe. He's full of kindness and positivity with no sense of negativity whatsoever. And he gives out ice-creams! But unfortunately, I need to have a shocking elimination during the first five episodes, which is why he's out in this episode. But to also prove to you all that idols can take out ANYONE! His kindness and his ice-cream will surely be missed.

So what do you guys think of the Mass Effect challenge? That was the hardest to write! Also, did I write the characters right? If not, I apologize.

Wow! So much stuff had happened! Alliances, secrets, drama and action have occurred! Right now, this is my favourite episode.

Before you ask, no! Druddigon and the married couple do NOT know each other before the show! Druddigon saw through the couple's act mainly from witnessing those experiences from his neighbourhood. But you weren't expecting that, did you? Wait a minute… I think the confessional had said it already.

Purugly had actually found an idol already and given it to ZEBSTRIKA?! Dun, dun, DUN!

Now I need to tell you about the next update. I won't be updating the next chapter until I've finished writing Total Drama Pokémon Adventure. The story may be cancelled but I'd like to finish the four explanation chapters and a bonus chapter. After that, I'll be updating another chapter of Total Drama: All-Stars: Remake. That story had already received forty reviews in just four chapters. It's clear the story is becoming popular. I'll be back for this story. You need to be patient, okay?

Vanilluxe: (Smile) Review this wonderful story, everyone!"
