Author's note: This episode is gonna be the longest yet, as I have a lot of plans. I also know the landscape much better than the last episode's destination, as I've actually visited the exact spot in which the challenge will be taking place this episode myself! A lot of this episode's challenge is going to be based off of info I learned while on a tour of the area, as well as a certain event that was supposed to take place in late 2012. I'm pretty sure you all know about the fiasco I'm talking about, unless you were living under a rock the whole time. Yeah, this episode is gonna be crazy, and probably my personal favorite of the story.

The six members of Team Ellie are enjoying their stay on the Luxury Deck.

"This is the life~!" Obsidian says, blissfully unaware of one of his other teammates' depression.

Tony's Confessional

"I hope I get to find out if Sofia is still in sooner or later."

Confessional Ends

"I-I'm just glad to still be in the game," Harley comments.

"You said it," Alison replies.

Ellie, along with the rest of the cast, walks onto the deck.

"Hello, winners of last episode, possible losers of this episode," Ellie says, "Our second destination is Lamanai, Belize. Lamanai was a major city of the Maya Civilization. You will be driving from Belize City to the New River Lagoon, and take a water taxi through the New River Lagoon. You will then race through the dense rainforest to the three temples of Lamanai. One of you will scale the gigantic High Temple, and grab your team's idol. Beware, one of the idols is coated in liquid mercury, something they used for sacrifices there. Symptoms include: mood swings, irritability, other emotional changes, insomnia, headache, abnormal sensations, muscle twitching, tremors, weakness, muscle atrophy, and decreased cognitive functions. And to spice things up, Blanca will be moving from Team Victory to Team Amazon, and Jolia from Amazon to Victory."

"Is Sofia still in?" Tony asks, worriedly.

"Nope," Ellie replies, "Her team voted her out for costing her team both of the challenges."

"That sucks..."

The seventeen contestants are riding the water taxi. However, they don't know about the craziness soon to ensue...

"We're here!" Hal exclaims.

"Beth, this is, like, the coolest BFF vacation in the two-thousand-seventeen years the world has existed!" Lindsay exclaims.

"Yeah," Beth agrees.

"Is that a giant head?" Lindsay asks, looking at the head on the chamber of masks. She walks towards it, but trips on a root and hits her head against the mask's chin. The seventeen contestants arrive just in time to see the mask's eyes glow.

"What the...?" Blanca asks.

Suddenly, with a loud crash, a stone giant with the mask as a face rises up.

"Is that what I-I think it is?" Harley asks.

"What do you think it is?" Alex asks.

"Oh Topik, a spirit that can end the world! It's five years late, but still!" Harley exclaims.

"Oh Topik?" Hal asks, "That literally means Oh F***."

"Can you stop it?!" Alison asks.

"Aye caramba..." Cassie mutters.

"With a good ol' C4," Hal takes out a grenade, bites off the pin, and throws it at the monster. It does absolutely nothing.

"But it failed!" Alison shouts.

"I can stop it if I can get a b-blood sacrifice!" Harley yells.

"I wonder if it just needs to hear the good news—"

"NO!" The entire casts yells.

"Awwwww..." Erik whines.

"I'll do it!" Obsidian yells.

"I co-couldn't!" Harley replies.

"Nebiros?" Irina asks, "You think Hal has a knife on him?"

Hal hands Harley the knife.

"Whichever team stops that fugly monster first is more immune than anyone has ever been immune!" Ellie exclaims, "Also, it's time for a musical number."

"WHAT THE ACTUAL HECK?!" everyone yells.

Song: Death Defyin'

Blanca: That thing that towers above us all, can you make it bawl?

Jared: You complain about how you don't want to hurt anyone, but if we lose this challenge, the world itself will be takin' the Lifeboat!

Karen: C'mon, Harley, make it quick!

Matthew: That beast wants nothin' more, than to get us all topik'd!

Irina: Just a prick of his finger is fine...!

Alison: I really don't wanna die!

Keliah: J-Just d-do it!

Toby: I-I'm to young to go!

Everyone: SO AM I!

Amazon: It's minor discomfort for the world's survival!

Obsidian: I don't really care what happens to me, I just want everyone to live happily. There's seven billion lives at stake, not just mine!

Harley: Fine, I guess I'll do it!

All: HOORAY!

Jared: We get to live another day~!

Harley reluctantly performs the ritual.

"UGH! MY EVILLLLL PLAN HAS BEEN RUINED!" a familiar voice yells.

"Let's unmask the monster," Blanca says. She pulls off the mask, to see Scarlett, frantically trying to get the "monster" back up and running.

"Who ended up losing?" Tristan asks.

"Victory. Someone on your team has broken the rules. Dismissed!"

Matthew and Karen are the first ones to arrive at the ceremony.

"Karen?" Matthew asks.

"Yeah?" Karen replies.

"We've been spending s lot of time together, and this is sudden, but would you like to be my girlfriend?"

"U-Uh... S-Sure!"

Matthew's Confessional

"That fool. I only need to get close to her so I have an ally. She's a decent competitor, too. She doesn't know that she's just as expendable to me as everyon else on this ship."

"Team Victory. One of you has broken the rules of the competition, and thus must be disqualified. When I call your name, come get your memorable moment. Jolia, Matthew, and Tristan. Karen, Hal. One of you has broken a rule and brought weapons onto this ship. Hal, you're obviously the one going home."

"I thought I'd do better..." Hal laments.

"Well... I made a stupid decision and suffered the consequences. Bye," Hal says, solemnly, as the Lifeboat begins to float away.
