"Last time on Total Drama Island Multiverse Edition! It's Choose Your Challenge week people! That means challenges from the viewers were chosen for the two teams to compete in. The first was a classic. The Face Your Fears challenge from the very first season of Total Drama. And it was everything you could expect. From Ippo confessing his love to his crush, only for his spirits to be crushed when he learned that she didn't actually hear it. To Marinette seeing her worst nightmare come true in another unicverse. To even Heather Chandler losing her hair. Well, most of it anyway."
Footage of Ippo confessing to Kumi only to realize that neither he nor her brother heard what he said before, Marinette watching Adrien and Chloe in another universe kiss, and Heather Chandler getting most of her hair cut off on accident was shown.
"Until things turned for the worst when Weiss was trapped in another dimension that was nothing but an endless blizzard. What was her fear you ask? Being alone again. She stayed in for too long and Ruby got her out. She was seriously upset with me. Heck, I think that's the first time I've ever seen her that way since this season started."
Footage of Ruby taking the remote out of Chris' hands and getting Weiss out herself along with her getting upset at Chris was shown.
"Hopefully she'll be alright. And with that, I decided to end the challenge early. But, there still needed to be a winner, and that winner was the Lions, who were already starting to pull away before that even happened. And in a shocking turn of events, Mariah was eliminated."
Footage of Weiss getting cared for by team members from both teams was shown along with Mariah getting eliminated.
"Why you ask? Her own alliance members turned against her. With Mandy believing that her staying any longer would hurt the team as her Beyblade was destroyed in battle. Though it looks like Zoey was torn, she ultimately made the decision to vote her off too."
Footage of Mandy and Zoey talking about eliminating Mariah in one of the team cabins was shown along with Zoey staying awake after the ceremony, wondering if she made the right decision.
"Now it's time for day 2 of viewer requested challenges! What type of pain will the contestants be reduced to this time? Who will get eliminated next? Will Weiss feel well enough to help her team? Find out now on Total…. Drama….. Island! Multiverse Edition!"
*Total Drama Island Multiverse Edition Intro II Plays*
Today's Challenge Request From: G-Man 2.0 on FF Dot Net
Special Guests for Today's Episode:
Manny Armstrong, Helen Wheels, Alan Albright, & Pierce Wheels(Ben 10 Alien Force)
The teams gathered in the main lodge and cafeteria cabins for breakfast.
"Are you feeling okay Weiss?" Zoey asked.
"You bet!" Weiss said, giving her a smile and a thumbs up.
"Usually the effects of hypothermia depending on how severe it is doesn't take too long to recover from. It's a good thing Ruby took her out when she did. Otherwise, it might have been a whole lot worse." Velma said.
"That's great to hear!" Zoey said, happy that Weiss has recovered.
"I'm happy to hear that news as well. Because it's time for another challenge. Head outside and I'll explain the details." Chris said.
Reimu groaned. "Another challenge? After what happened yesterday, why would he think we'll just be ready to do another challenge?"
"If you're worried about it being like the last challenge, trust me it's not. I promise. It's another hunting challenge! Head outside and I'll explain the rest of the details."
***Confessional***
Ruby(Fighting Lions):
"Has there ever been a time where everyone just refused to do a challenge? Just asking."
***End Confessional***
The two teams were outside.
"Alright teams! Your challenge for today will be a scavenger hunt challenge."
"A scavenger hunt? Honestly, that sounds fun." Ruby said.
"What's the catch. You almost always have one." TD Heather asked.
"No catch. However, you will be-" Chris started before he was suddenly hit by a thorn which put him to sleep. The culprit along with someone that oddly looked like Four Arms appeared.
"Ben? What's going on?" Marinette asked, confused as to why he was back on the island.
"Sorry, but I'm not Ben." The Four Arms lookalike said which caused Cyborg to raise an eyebrow.
"If you're not Ben, then who are you?" Cyborg asked.
"Wouldn't you like to know?" The source of the thorn said as another alien-lookalike appeared. Though this one looked like XLR8.
"Now listen up. We're taking this guy with us." The Four Arms lookalike said.
"What about my money?" TD Heather and Heather Chandler said frantically before they both looked at each other.
"It's my money, not yours." Both said, simultaneously again. Before either could hit each other, the XLR8 lookalike spoke which interrupted them.
"You can forget about the money. Once he wakes up, he's gonna tell us where it is. It's ours now." The XLR8 look alike said, revealing it to be a she instead of a he.
"And if he doesn't cooperate, we'll get it out of him by force." The spiked teenager said.
"Please, let it be by force." The Four Arms lookalike said, cracking his knuckles with two of his arms.
"So what's supposed to happen to the show?" Gary asked.
"Don't know, don't care." The Four Arms lookalike responded.
"Word of advice, just leave." The XLR8 lookalike said.
"Be smart. Don't try to follow us or you will get hurt." The spiked teen said.
The XLR8 lookalike picked up Chris and sped off while the spiked teen and Four Arms lookalike ran off in the same direction she did.
"That's it? That's how this is gonna go? No one wins?" Sokka asked in shock.
"Like I guess that's it. Well, now we just need to find a way to get back home." Shaggy said, shrugging.
"No way." Falcon said. "I'm not going back."
"Like oh no, I know exactly what's about to happen next and you can count me out!" Shaggy said, about to go back into the cabin only to be grabbed by Raph, stopping him from leaving.
"Falcon's right. We can't just let it end there." Fred said.
"Like why not? We go back home, Chris gives them the money and no one gets hurt. That seems like a win-win to me." Shaggy reasoned.
"And what about the scenario that he doesn't give them the money?" Virgil countered.
"Don't get me wrong, I'm not a big fan of Chris either, but I'm not going to leave him behind. I've never let guys like those get away with doing what they want. And I'm not gonna start now." Rally said.
"Those guys are running away with my money! I'M GONNA MURDER THEM!" Vicky shouted.
"Excuse me? Since when did that suddenly become your money when you haven't even won yet?" Leshawna asked.
"Yeah! It's my money!" Eddy said.
"No, it's mine!" TD Heather said.
"It's nobody's money yet." Huey said, which caused them to turn their heads towards him. "Somebody just got kidnapped and all y'all can think about is getting the money back?"
"Pretty much." Vicky admitted.
"Regardless though, we're not gonna get anywhere if we keep talking." Lance said.
"Lance is right. We need to get moving." Mandy said.
"Move where? We don't even know where he went." Dan Mandel said.
"Let's split up and look for clues." Fred said.
"Clues? This island's pretty small. They've gotta be around this island somewhere." Hawkeye said.
"Even If that's the case, it'll allow us to cover more ground. Just make sure no one's alone. If they're as powerful as Ben there's not many of us that can win alone, let alone defend themselves at all." Sokka said.
"Man. I know I'm a boxer, but compared to strong guys like those, what I've learned means nothing!" Ippo thought.
"Hey Dax, why don't we team up? I wanna see up close how strong those Monsuno are." Ash asked.
"Sure thing kid. Just make sure that little Pikachu of yours doesn't get stepped on." Dax said.
"Pikachu can handle it. Right buddy?" Ash asked.
"Pika! Pika!"
"Besides, he'll have help." Ash said, bringing out a pokeball.
"Whatever you say kid." Dax said, shrugging.
Reimu sighs, eyes closed. "I guess I'll tag along with you Ippo."
"Huh?" Ippo blinked in confusion.
"ARE YOU DEAF OR SOMETHING? I SAID I'LL PAIR UP WITH YOU!" Reimu shouted.
"Okay! Okay! Jeez!" Ippo said.
"Well at least I'll know I'm in good hands. She can be pretty scary when she's mad." Ippo thought.
"Team of four?" Weiss asked Ruby.
Ruby nodded. "Team of four!" She said as team RWBY all high fived each other.
"Looks like it's time for your friendly neighborhood Spider-Man to come out and play." Peter said, appearing in his Spider-Man costume.
"I can go with Zoey." Marinette said.
"Guess I'll go with Gary. Make sure he doesn't hurt himself." Hawkeye said.
"Hey! I'm not as bad as you think I am. Honest! Like did you forget what happened in the chase game?" Gary asked.
"I think he's more than capable of holding his own." Rally said, giving him a supporting smile and wink.
"Can I go with Daphne?" Lindsay asked.
"Sure! I don't see why not." Fred said.
TD Heather, Heather Chandler and Leshawna decided to work together.
"But only for this. Once we get Chris back it's back to being enemies again." TD Heather said to Heather Chandler.
"You don't have to tell me twice." Heather Chandler said.
"Come on you two, I'm not about to hear you fighting the entire time." Leshawna said.
"We're not fighting!" Both Heathers said simultaneously.
Dan Mandel and Vicky worked together.
"I'm in charge. Got it?" Dan Mandel said to Vicky.
"Please. You don't get to tell me what to do." Vicky said.
"I'm older than you which means I automatically have more authority than you!" Dan Mandel said.
"What are you, my parents?" Vicky asked.
"No and I'm glad that I'm not." Dan Mandel said.
Huey and Jack silently nodded as they would pair up as well.
"Like I think it's really nice that we're all working together but-" Shaggy started.
"Oh no Shaggy. Everyone else is working together for this. You have to do this too. Scooby Snax or no Scooby Snax." Velma said.
"But what about Scoob? Like I don't want him to get hurt." Shaggy said.
"He can stay with Grim." Mandy said. This immediately made Scooby jump into Shaggy's arms as he quickly shook his head.
"Ro way!" Scooby said, shaking his head.
"Well then that settles it. I'm staying here with Scoob." Shaggy said.
"Or you two can go with someone else." Fred suggested.
"Hey, don't sweat. You guys can be with me." Dan Kuso said. "There's nothing you guys have to worry about. I'll protect you guys." He said, pointing to himself.
"How can you hope to protect him when you can't even hope to protect yourself?" Drago asked.
"You know for a guardian bakugan you're not exactly being supportive right now." Dan Kuso said.
"Supportive? I'm being honest. That's what a true partner and friend would do." Drago said.
"Maybe so but it doesn't hurt to at least try to be encouraging sometimes, even if it is a bit of a stretch." Dan Kuso said. "Don't worry about Drago here. He can be a bit of a pessimist sometimes. I'm more than capable of protecting myself. You'll see."
"Like looking at our other options, I don't think we have much of a choice." Shaggy said.
All of the other small teams were decided as well.
"All right. Looks like we've got our teams. Let's get going!" Fred said.
"In the chance that we actually beat one of them, what do we do? It's not like we all have ways to talk to each other long distance." Dipper asked.
"Hmm, that's a good question." Daphne said.
"Why not just take them back to the cabins? Grim can stay behind and watch." Sokka said.
"Wait a minute, first you just assume I'm willing to dogsit, then you just assume I'm willing to do this? I'm the grim reaper not your personal assistant!" Grim said.
"You are what I say you are Grim. And besides, if we're honest, you were never going to come anyways." Mandy said.
"Good point." Grim said. "I suppose I can stay here. Besides, if they wake up, I can scare the heck out of those kids."
Each team split up and began their search for Chris and his kidnappers.
***Confessional***
Drago:
"I have no idea Dan is going to defend himself if he gets into trouble. Humans and their bravado. They never seem to learn from their mistakes or from others' do they?"
***End Confessional***
Zoey was running with Marinette, who was transformed into Ladybug.
"Hey Zoey," Marinette started.
"Yeah?" Zoey asked, adjusting her glasses.
"Can I ask you something?"
"Sure! Anything!"
"Last night. I saw you moving around a lot."
Zoey immediately got on the defensive, scared that she was going to learn of the alliance. "I was just-"
"Hey, it's alright. You were worried about Mariah weren't you?"
"That wasn't it at all! I just had to… use the bathroom!"
"Come on Zoey. I know what I saw." Marinette said.
"Okay, yes, I was worried about Mariah. I just felt really bad after what happened." Zoey said.
"It's not your fault." Marinette said.
"But it is! I could have done something to help but I chose not to!" Zoey shouted, upset.
"Zoey, look, you made a mistake. It's great that you owned up to it. All you can do now is learn from it." Marinette said.
"That's not what I'm-" Zoey started before realizing something. "Hey, wait a minute. How did you know I was still up last night?"
"I…. couldn't sleep either." Marinette admitted.
"Something on your mind?" Zoey asked, worried more about caring for the feelings of one of her teammates now.
"Something. More like someone." Marinette thought.
"It's nothing you'd have to worry about." Marinette said. "Right now, we should focus on finding Chris."
Zoey nodded. "Okay."
***Confessional***
Zoey(Soaring Phoenixes):
"Marinette's hiding something." She said before gasping. "Does she know about the alliance!?"
***End Confessional***
***Confessional***
Marinette(Soaring Phoenixes):
"That last challenge. Seeing Ippo there had me thinking…." She trailed off. "Wait, I can't say anything about that here! Chris will know about it!"
***End Confessional***
Cyborg and Beast Boy were in their own small group as a pair.
"Hey Cy, did you notice that Four Arms dude sounds just like you?" Beast Boy asked.
"'Course I did." Cyborg said.
"So, wouldn't that kinda mean you'd be beating yourself up?" Beast Boy asked.
"No, not really. If that's the case, then Jake hitting Spongebob would mean he'd be hitting himself. We just sound the same that's all. But, I gotta say, I don't like the idea that I'm sharing the same voice with somebody like that." Cyborg said.
"Then that means I won't feel bad for doing this!" A voice said. A blue last was suddenly sent their way. Cyborg was able to duck it but Beast Boy wasn't so lucky.
"B!" Cyborg called out before turning back towards the perpetrator that showed himself.
"I don't know how Pierce can do it. Stealth's never been my style." The Four Arms lookalike said. "And by the way, I was aiming for you, not him. But you just had to duck."
Cyborg only responded by trying to run in for a punch which was stopped by the human-alien hybrid's two left arms.
"That all you got?" He tossed Cyborg aside.
Cyborg gets up.
"That was just me taking it easy. Now you're gonna get it!" Cyborg said.
"Bring it on tin man!" The Four Arm lookalike said, raising all four of his arms.
Both ran at each other with the result of the clash being unseen.
Vicky and Dan Mandel were running.
"Do you even know where you're going?" Dan Mandel asked.
"Don't act like you know any better than me." Vicky said.
"I'll have you know that I have travelled throughout several parts of the United States, along with Canada, rode bears, and done several other things just to get revenge on the people that have wronged me. This isn't my first rodeo." Dan said.
"Wait, wait, back up. You mean you've travelled to other states just to get revenge?" Vicky asked.
"Yes I have!" Dan said proudly. "I take my list very seriously. So when I say I'm coming after you, I'm coming after you! Case and point, why I'm back in Canada right now. They say revenge is a dish best served cold. And Chris will pay! In cold, hard cash!" Dan said.
"Dude, that is hardcore." Vicky said.
"Yeah. It is. But like I said I take my list seriously." Dan said.
"I didn't say I hated it." Vicky said.
"Oh. Well then. Thanks. Well, I guess your love for medieval weapons is hardcore too." Dan said.
"Thanks, I-" Vicky started before someone immediately jumped out and shot thorns, causing Vicky to push Dan in front of her.
"What are you-" Dan said before he was hit by a few of the thorns.
"You son of a-oh." Dan was suddenly unconscious. The perpetrator was the same one that knocked Chris unconscious. He looked ahead as Vicky was already running. He could have went after her, but he decided to not look a gift hoarse in the mouth and just get who he knocked out first.
Dan Kuso, Shaggy and Scooby, compared to most of the other groups, were taking it easy, walking.
"Dan, shouldn't we be moving with more of a sense of urgency?" Drago asked.
"Relax buddy, we're just conserving our energy. If we just run around, we're not gonna have any energy left if we get into a fight." Dan Kuso said.
"I'm still trying to figure out what exactly you're going to do to defend yourself." Drago said.
"Drago, you worry too much. I got this." Dan Kuso said confidently.
"Hearing you say that only makes me worried even more." Drago said.
Scooby taps Shaggy.
"Like what is it pal?" Shaggy asked.
Scooby sniffs the ground. "Romering's rurning."
"Burning?" Shaggy asked.
"Hey, looks like we might have something! See? What'd I tell you Drago?" Dan said. "Lead the way Scooby."
"Like I think we should just go back and tell someone else about. That'd be just as good right? Plus, they're more capable of taking care of one of those guys then us." Shaggy said.
"If we go back, good chance there's no one to go back to other than maybe Grim. We don't follow this, we might not get another chance and lose 'em. We could be the difference between finding Chris or losing him." Dan Kuso said.
"Like I just want to put on the record right now and say that if we were to get hurt or worse that I tried to warn you!" Shaggy said as he reluctantly followed.
When they followed the trail of ash, there was an African-American teen with short black hair wearing a n orange hoodie that has a basketball in the middle surrounded by orange flames unconscious.
"Hey, there's a kid." Dan Kuso said.
"Strange. I've never seen him around here before." Drago said.
"He might be someone else those three captured but was able to get away." Dan reasoned.
"Possibly." Drago said.
"We should ask him if he knows where they took Chris." Dan suggested.
They went over to try and tap him awake.
"Hey! Hey!" Dan said continuing to try and wake him up.
Eventually, he came to his senses and opened his eyes.
"What happened?" The boy asked, holding his head.
"You okay?" Dan asked.
"Yeah. I think so." He said, holding his head. "Who are you guys?"
"I'm Dan. And this is Shaggy and Scooby." Dan said.
"Dan huh? Alan. Nice dog." He said, looking at the dog.
"Oh that's Shaggy's dog, not mine."
"You haven't happened to see three guys that look like aliens running around have you?" Shaggy asked.
"Aliens? They're not aliens." Alan said, correcting them.
"Really?" Dan Kuso asked, surprised.
"Yeah. They're half-human, half-alien actually." Alan said.
"Huh." Dan said, not expecting to hear something like that. "Anyways, do you know where they're keeping Chris?"
"I don't know. I can't remember." Alan said, holding his head.
"Don't overwork yourself. Just tell as much as you can remember." Drago said.
"They ambushed me. It was quick too. Didn't even have time to react. Saw a blue blur run past me, then everything went dark. Next thing I know I'm tied up. They said they weren't finished with me and then they left. And that was my chance to escape. So as soon as I knew they were far away enough, I got myself out and started to run. Then, I hear footsteps. So I panicked and tried to go faster. But I ended up hitting a tree and got knocked out." Alan explained. "Good thing you guys found me first before they did."
"Like what exactly would they want from you? You seem harmless." Shaggy said.
"Don't know. And honestly, it doesn't even matter anymore to me. As long as I was able to get out of there." Alan said.
Drago looked back at the footprints on the ground.
"What's the matter Drago?" Dan asked.
"Strange. If this is on the ground, wouldn't there have been fire?" Drago asked.
"Yeah, that is pretty weird." Dan said.
"Like wait a minute, didn't one of Ben's aliens turn him into something that could do that?" Shaggy asked.
"Oh yeah, you're right!" Dan said. "So there's a fourth one we've got to worry about. Great." He said before turning to Alan.
"Thanks for your help."
"No problem." Alan said. Dan, Shaggy and Scooby moved on to continue their search.
"I'm no Velma or anything but like where'd he come from? Don't you think it's kinda odd that those guys came around the same time he did?" Shaggy said low to Dan.
"Huh. I never thought of that." Dan Kuso said.
"And for that matter, if they're all half-human and half-alien, then who's to say that-" Drago was interrupted when the three were all trapped by hardened rock.
"Sorry, but I can't let you leave." Alan said, suddenly looking like Heatblast.
"Alan? You're-"Dan said in shock before he and all of the others were suddenly put to sleep.
Alan turned towards Pierce. The distraction allowed for Drago to roll away unnoticed.
"I had it under control. They weren't gonna get away. Honest!" Alan said.
"Even so, just wanted to make sure. They could have yelled. And someone might have heard it and start looking around here." Pierce said.
"Probably should have took care of that first. My bad." Alan said, transforming back to normal.
"It's alright. Just take them back. And try not to hurt the dog." Pierce said.
"I'd never hurt a dog like Scooby man." Alan said sincerely. "Same thing as before right?"
"No. The others will probably figure it out too. It's time to take a more direct approach." Pierce said.
"You got it." Alan said.
Cyborg and the Tetramand continued to exchange heavy punches.
"You're good. But good isn't enough to beat me!" The Four Arms lookalike said before charging head-on at Cyborg like a bull, knocking him away.
He towered over him. "Give up yet?"
"No way." Cyborg said.
"Fine by me." The Four Arms lookalike prepared to land the final blow to knock Cyborg out. But Cyborg used his elbow to stop the punch.
"You can't beat me! So why don't you just give up?"
"You may share the same voice as me. But you're nothing like me. Because if you were you'd know that I…. don't…. quit!" Cyborg said before taking his other arm and hitting him square in the jaw.
As the Tetramand gets up, he grabs his face a little.
"Lucky shot. I gotta admit, that actually hurt a bit. But you're not gettin' lucky like that again." He said.
"I don't need luck. When I've got friends." Cyborg said.
"Huh?" The next thing he knew he was blindsided by a green bull.
"Took you long enough to get up. Enjoyed your nap?" Cyborg asked Beast Boy as he transformed back to normal.
"Yeah. It wasn't too bad actually. I had a dream that I had all these cute-"
"B! Less talking, more fighting!" Cyborg said.
"Oh, sorry." Beast Boy said as the Four Arms lookalike suddenly pulled out two laser blasters and shot at them.
"One on one, one on two. Doesn't matter. I can take you both out!" He said as he continued to shoot. Cyborg shot back with his own cannon.
"Where'd your little friend go?" He said, noticing that Beast Boy was gone. He used arm to secretly press a button behind his back. Until he found out too late as he was suddenly being squeezed as Beast Boy had become a boa constrictor.
He struggled to get free.
Cyborg walked up to him.
"Alright. Where's Chris?" Cyborg asked, pointing the blaster at him. He wasn't going to shoot him. It was more of an intimidation tactic.
"I'm not telling you anything." He said.
Beast Boy squeezed harder.
"The next step is me shooting you." Cyborg said. "Now I'm gonna ask again. Where's Chris?"
He only replied with a smile as a blue blur suddenly hit Cyborg quickly. He then broke free from Beast Boy. Both were quickly hit with stun blasts and were knocked out.
"You actually called for help? Who are you and what have you done with the real Manny?" The female XLR8 look-alike asked.
"It was an accident. I had it all under control." The Four Arms lookalike said, whose name was revealed to be Manny.
"Sure you did." She said in a playful and sarcastic tone.
"I did! Honest! I still can't believe he really thought a snake was gonna hold me." Manny said before looking at Cyborg. He could only smile, genuinely impressed by his strength.
"Well, regardless, that's two more down." She said before getting Beast Boy.
"And a whole lot more to go." Manny said as they began taking Cyborg and Beast Boy back.
Phoenixes Left: 17
Lions Left: 22
(A/N: If this were the actual show, this wouldn't appear. This is just to make it easier for you guys to follow along with how many of each team are left)
Abandoned Film Lot
"Really? This is why you wanted to go to the film lot?" Leshawna asked, annoyed. And exhausted.
"I refuse to walk around looking like Hei- whatever his name is. I don't even know who that is and I still know that's an insult." Heather Chandler said.
"So instead of looking for Chris and the money you'd rather waste time doing this?" TD Heather asked.
"That's rich coming from you." Leshawna said.
"Yeah but none of the times I tried to get something for my head was during a time that the prize money, or Chris himself for that matter, was in danger!" TD Heather said.
"Look, we're not the only ones here alright? The others are just as capable of looking as we are." Heather Chandler said, looking through the wigs and hats and trying each one on to see which one matched her the best.
"Just pick one and go! It's not like you're gonna have to wear it the rest of your life!" Leshawna said.
"Says you. You don't have to walk around looking like this. I have a reputation to protect back at my school. Though you wouldn't understand that would you?" Heather Chandler said.
"Just like I have money to win." TD Heather said. "Money that no one will be able to have if we don't-" She added, her patience running thin.
"Hold up, what was that? Repeat that again." Leshawna said.
"I said-" TD Heather started.
"Not you. Her." Leshawna said, standing in between Heather Chandler and the wigs.
"You heard me." Heather Chandler said. "Now move out of the way miss lineman."
TD Heather giggled at the insult.
"Just for that, I'm not moving until you apologize!" Leshawna said.
"For what? Telling the truth?"
Leshawna then clocks Heather Chandler.
"You know what they say, the truth hurts." Leshawna said before she was kicked in her sensitive area by Heather Chandler as she was on the ground.
"Yeah. It does." Heather Chandler said.
"Just wait…. You're gonna get it after this." Leshawna said, still crouching down in pain.
TD Heather was suddenly knocked out by a laser in the back.
"Uh oh. I think they found us. Heather, you-" Leshawna started before seeing that Heather Chandler was gone.
"That no good, ooh I can't stand her!" Leshawna said, still in pain.
"I don't like kicking someone while they're down, so just make it easy on yourself." The perpetrator said, revealing himself to be Alan who reverted back to his normal self, only to be hit with a mirror and several other makeup items before running.
Alan sighs and shakes his head. He transforms and quickly catches up to Leshawna who was running, blocking her way. "Okay. I tried doing this the friendly way. Now I'm gonna do this the non-friendly way." He said before shooting a laser blast. Leshawna quickly holds up a small mirror, thinking it would reflect the laser. Only it went through and knocked her out as well.
"Wow. She actually that was going to work. That's only in movies." Alan commented.
Lions Left: 20
Rally was paired with Lance.
"Hey Lance, got a question." Rally said, trying to get his attention.
"Yeah?" Lance asked.
"What exactly do you think about this show? Or really, Chris in general?" Rally asked.
"It's….. got it's strange moments. But some of the challenges are well….. challenging. As for Chris, I guess the same thing. He's got his bad moments." Lance answered. "Sorry if that's not the type of answer you're looking for. I never really thought about it to be honest."
"Then, why did you enter the show?" Rally asked, confused but genuinely curious.
"I didn't even want to enter. My sister got me to enter to make friends." Lance said. He wanted to tell her about what was happening back on their home world, but he couldn't. He didn't think she'd understand. If he had to admit he wasn't good at the type of thing at all. That was more of Illana's style.
"Well, you've certainly earned yourself a few." Rally said.
"Yeah. Guess so." Lance said, smiling as she gave a smile back in return.
A thought came to her. "So wait, if you won the mon-"
Rally was suddenly grabbed by the waist and pulled to the ground in some bushes, causing her to yelp a little in surprise but her mouth was quickly covered as well.
Rally was talking but what she said was muffled as Lance still covered her mouth as he was on top of her. Rally's eyebrows lowered as her cheeks started to turn red, showing that she was starting to get either angry and/or annoyed as she continued to try to talk before trying to remove his hand herself before he used his other hand to give her the be quiet gesture but before he could point to why she forcibly moved the hand and then hit it away.
"Listen, I don't know what you think you're trying to-" Rally started before thorns were shot which hit Lance as he was still above her causing him to go unconscious. She then realized why she was trying to keep her quiet.
"Oh no." Rally said. She quickly tried to pick up Lance. The problem was Lance wasn't exactly light, and she wasn't exactly that strong either. She tried to get moving but was hit in the leg with one causing her to fall to the ground as that left leg had fallen asleep. Pierce revealed himself as he looked over the both of them.
"I thought I heard something. You probably would have gotten away if you were quiet. Oh well. Unlucky you." Pierce said before hitting her again with another thorn to finish her off.
Phoenixes Left: 16
Lions Left: 19
Hawkeye and Gary were continuing to run, bow and blaster in each of their hands respectively.
"So, who exactly are the Avengers?" Gary asked, trying to make small talk.
"Team of heroes. We protect the Earth and on occasion anybody that's not from Earth that might need help too. Shortest answer I could give probably." Hawkeye said.
"Wait, so you're like the Empire then." Gary said.
Hawkeye stopped and turned, visibly not happy that Gary made that comparison. He then pointed at Gary. "Listen buddy, we are nothing like the Empire. You guys want to enslave the galaxy. Enslaving it is something that no one on our team, especially Cap would stand for. You call taking innocent lives protecting people? News flash, it's not."
"Hey man, I never said I fully agreed with everything the Empire does. I took the job as just a regular stormtrooper, to feed my daughter and help my wife. It pays well, and I'm okay with that. Sure, I might have uh accidentally ran over an Ewok, killed a couple of stormtroopers when I accidentally burned a house on fire and was in a few big battles but I'm not someone that just mindlessly follows what the Empire does. And I'm not the only one. Seriously. You gotta see it for yourself before you start judging man." Gary said.
Hawkeye cooled down a little but was still upset that he made a comparison like that. They went from being in the forest to now being in the beach area of the island. "Even if that were true, you're still a part of it. You said you're okay with it as long as it pays. That doesn't mean anything to you? To know people are getting hurt by the guys that pay you? How would you feel if your daughter got hurt?"
"P[censored]ed off honestly. But yeah, it does mean something to me. But, what can somebody like me do? I'm just a regular guy. I don't have a lightsaber, or force powers or anything like that. Even here. Compared to most of the others here I'm just a regular guy too. I don't have powers like Falcon or Ben. I don't have you or Rally's aim. Heck, Sokka can even come up with strategies. Literally the only people I'm above are actual kids. And even then, there's Ash, Dan and Dax. They got monsters they can fight with."
"Yeah well, compared to the rest of the Avengers I'm just a regular guy too. The difference is I found a way to not make that as an excuse for whenever I mess up or can't do something and found a way to keep up with and help my team." Hawkeye said. "Besides, you've been practicing shooting with Rally right? You can get better. You can be a regular guy and still be awesome. Maybe not as awesome as me, but still pretty good."
"Wait, you really think I-" Gary started before blaster shots were seen zipping past them.
"Sorry. Guess I interrupted something." Manny said, pistols in hand. "Don't worry. Once I take care of you two, you'll have all the time in the world to talk where you're going."
Hawkeye simply drew an arrow and shot it at Manny who caught it with one of his arms. "Really? An arrow? You're even worse than the guy that thought a snake could hold me."
"One: You weren't interrupting anything. Two: Boom." Hawkeye said.
"Huh?" Manny said, confused before the arrow exploded, right in his face, knocking him back a little as he was disoriented. The minute he regained his vision, both of them were gone.
Manny yelled in frustration. He wanted to punch something but there was nothing around to punch.
"Why are we running? Wouldn't it have been better to try and beat him and then interrogate him?" Gary asked.
"You've gotta know when to pick your battles. There was no way we were gonna win against one of Ben's aliens that also uses guns." Hawkeye said. "That just happened to catch him off guard. There's no way that's going to happen again."
A voice was suddenly heard on the speakers.
"I told you guys not to follow us. And like the fools you are, you didn't listen. Not too smart at all." Pierce said on the speakers. "And now, some of your teammates paid for it."
"Did they….." Gary started, fearing the worst.
"Don't worry, they're still alive. And so is Chris. But not for long. Chris has already told us where the money is, so we already have it. But, since this is a reality show, let's play a little game." Pierce continued.
"You've got 30 minutes to try and find us. Beat us and find us, and we'll let your friends go. Don't, and…. let's just say it won't end well." Pierce said.
As they were running on the beach, they crossed paths with Falcon and Raph.
"Pretty sure you guys heard that." Falcon said.
"Yeah. We've gotta be fast." Hawkeye said. "Good news is, we found one of them. We beat him, we might be able to find out where everyone is being held."
Falcon nodded. "Sounds like a plan."
"I don't know what plan you guys are trying to come up with to stop us, but it's not gonna work." Manny said. "I'm gonna bust it up, personally." He said, before using all four of his pistols.
"It's four against one. It's not exactly looking too good for you." Gary said.
Suddenly, Helen sped next to Manny. "Is four against two any better?"
"You and your big mouth." Raph said to Gary.
"How was I supposed to know she was going to show up?" Gary protested.
"I can handle these four myself. If I didn't press the button, I don't need your help." Manny said to Helen.
"More like you don't want it." Helen said.
"Whatever. Same thing." Manny said.
"Two for one huh? I'll take it." Falcon said confidently before pulling out his red Power Stone. Before he could start his transformation, Helen ran and took the stone right out of his hands.
"My Power Stone!" Falcon said.
"I figured it was something that could be used as a weapon. It was a lucky guess, but I was right. You can forget about using it now." Helen said. But what she didn't expect was for the stone to turn into red energy and come right back to him as it in close enough range to do so.
"Guess again." Falcon said, grinning as the stone shined a bright red.
"POWERRR CHANNGE!"
"So you got a transformation huh? I'm not really seein' nothin' special." Manny said.
"Looks can be deceiving. Be careful." Helen warned.
"You can be careful. I'm gonna take these guys out." Manny said before shooting at all of them. Hawkeye rolled out of the way of the laser blasts and quickly started drawing two arrows to shoot. Though the second he shot it Helen sped up to him and kicked Hawkeye's weapon away. Even though she was never his intended target. The arrow went right through one of Manny's blasters causing electricity to come out of one of them with another hitting him in the arm, knocking one blaster away and forcing him to throw it at the ground as it was nothing but pieces now.
Though what caught her off guard was when he tossed a small bomb which shocked Helen.
"Helen!" Manny shouted out before putting away the guns and charging at Hawkeye.
"Forgettin' about us?" Raph said before going in to attack Manny, but was knocked away fairly easy. He then blocked both Gary and Hawkeye's attacks before sending both of them flying.
"You're next." Manny said to Falcon.
"Come on then!" Falcon said, more than welcoming the challenge. "POWER EXPLOSION!" Several homing missiles were fired at Manny. He tried to outrun all of them but it only ended up in him failing as he couldn't dodge all of them so he tried shielding himself from them next.
"That all you got? Like I said, I'm still not impressed." Manny said.
"You haven't seen the extent of what I can do!" Falcon said before flying at him. "POWER ROCKET!"
"Head-to-head. I'm all for it!" Manny said, excited before running at the charging Falcon. He uses his hands to hold him back as he was going to fly right into him headfirst. Manny was being pushed back so he used more of his strength to stop Falcon from overwhelming him before eventually deciding to fight fire with fire and using his head to attack back.
"Is this…. All you got?" Manny grunted as the two continued to struggle.
It wasn't a quick turnaround but Manny was starting to win the strength battle.
"Come on! I need more!" Falcon thought, trying to exert more power and push back.
Raph got up and saw that Falcon and Manny were locked in a clash. He saw that Falcon was trying his hardest, but eventually, if something didn't change, he'd lose.
He saw the bow and arrow Hawkeye used.
"Hawkeye!" Raph said before tossing him the bow and arrow who catches it as he and Gary were running back to where the action was.
"Got it!" He quickly draws an exploding arrow, affecting Manny just enough for Falcon to push back and knock him back, but not with enough strength to knock him down.
He charges at Manny again.
"This again? Not exactly a quick learner are you?" Manny said.
"POWER HURRICANE!" Falcon performs a spinning uppercut that was covered by a fire tornado.
"My flames are nowhere near as strong as Heatblast's, but they should still be good enough to make him feel it." Falcon thought.
Manny blocked the attack with two of his arms as he was in the air. "That all you….. you….." Manny said before falling unconscious. The minute Falcon saw this he stopped, making the flames disappear. He returned to the ground. Before he could even get a chance to return back to normal, Helen was awake again and tried to save Manny.
"It's four on one. You've got no chance." Falcon said.
Considering the fact that Manny was the reason she's in the position that she's in now, stopping her from being taken, she wanted to return the favor, but knew strategy wise, it would be a terrible decision to try and take all of them on. So she ran off. She hated leaving Manny behind, but she had no choice.
Falcon changes back to normal.
"That fight was no joke. If it wasn't for the flames I would have lost." Falcon thought.
"That's one down." Falcon said.
"And three more to go." Raph added.
"Probably a good idea to take him back to the cabins." Gary said.
Falcon nodded. "Right."
As they were moving along, and struggling to move Manny, they ran into Ippo and Reimu.
"Hey guys! Just the people we were waiting to see." Falcon said, a wide grin on his face.
"Why is he smiling like that?" Ippo asked.
The next thing he and Reimu knew, they were bringing Manny back.
"Why would you agree to do this?" Reimu asked Ippo.
"It's the least we could do, right? They were able to beat him." Ippo reasoned.
"Well then, since you agreed to it, you can carry him on your own. Didn't you say you do this stuff all the time in training?" Reimu asked.
"I did say I did training, but I didn't say I-" Ippo said before falling to the ground as Manny was too heavy for him.
"Just drag him back." Reimu suggested.
Once he was up, Ippo was slowly dragging him back, but struggling to do so mightily. "This isn't helping at all!" He complained.
"Well then you shouldn't have agreed to it." Reimu said.
Ippo slumped over, knowing that he'd have to struggle with doing this all by himself. Reimu notices something on the ground that oddly looks like the symbol on Ben's watch.
"What's this?" Reimu says as she picks it up.
Ippo goes to see what she found.
"It looks like the same symbol on Ben's watch." Ippo noted before it suddenly started to flash, surprising him. "What's it doing!?" Ippo asked frantically.
"It's just blinking." Reimu said, annoyed at the fact that Ippo actually jumped in fear of that.
"Oh. Right. Sorry." Ippo said, embarrassed that he got scared just from that before wondering, "The question is, why?"
Helen finds Pierce, who was on the search for the remaining contestants.
"Hey. Something wrong?" Pierce asked.
"Yeah. It's Manny. They got him." Helen said. "It was four-on-one after that. Not much else I could do."
"Let me guess. He ran off doing his own thing instead of accepting your help." Pierce said.
"How'd you figure?"
"Because you have that certain look whenever you see Manny doing that type of stuff." Pierce said.
"No I don't!" Helen protested.
Pierce raised an eyebrow.
"Okay. Maybe I do. But that's only because he does it a lot. And it's gotten him in trouble way too many times. Like it did here."
"Alan needs to come back. From this point on, no more splitting up. We have to work together." Pierce said. He looked at the timer he set. It was a little over 20 minutes remaining.
A beep was heard from their plumber badges.
"Speaking of Alan." Helen started.
"He's in trouble! Let's go!" Pierce said before the two started to run.
It was a three-on-one battle between Alan and Team RWBY in a muddy area of the forest. Weiss was already knocked out while the others were giving him a hard time with the numbers advantage.
"Stay back. I'm warning you." Alan said as the three surrounded him.
"If we use our speed, we should be able to-" Ruby started before Yang started to immediately attack. "Yang!"
Yang threw several punches along with close ranged shots from her gauntlets, which caught Alan off guard but was still able to react fast enough to dodge the attacks.
Ruby and Blake had no choice but to go in to help. Luckily, her plan was still possible as she wanted to use their speed to overwhelm him and get him to make a mistake.
"I told you guys to stay…. Back!" Alan said before suddenly surrounding himself in a field of fire, knocking all three back.
"Alan!" Pierce said, as he and Helen had found him.
"I think I got it all under control now." Alan said, giving a thumbs up. That is before all four of the Huntresses got up, ready to continue the fight.
"You were saying?" Helen said.
"Yeah, I'm gonna need some help now."
"My clothes!" Weiss said, noticing they were covered in mud.
"It's just mud. You act like you haven't had to get your hands dirty before." Yang said.
"Still though. That doesn't mean I want to get dirty." Weiss said.
"Focus guys." Ruby said.
"Three-on-four. Kinda wish Manny was here." Alan said.
"Unfortunately, he got himself captured." Helen said.
"Which is exactly why we need to stick together." Pierce said. "Alan, you seemed to have been handling yourself pretty decent before we got here. Hope you don't mind handling two."
"Sure thing." Alan said.
Helen took on Ruby while Pierce took on Blake.
"You're going to pay for getting my clothes dirty." Weiss said to Alan.
"You tried attacking me. You don't expect me to attack back?" Alan asked.
"Then I guess that gives me the right to attack you back." Yang said, visibly angry.
"You look like you need to cool off." Alan said to Yang.
"Pretty Ironic." Weiss said.
Alan looked at himself. "You know what, it actually-" He couldn't even finish before he was sucker punched by Yang.
It was a battle of speed between Ruby and Helen.
"Nice speed." Helen said.
"Thanks. Yours isn't too bad either." Ruby said. "Bet you don't have one of these though!" She said before attacking with her Crescent Rose in its scythe form, performing quick strikes. Strikes that Helen had to keep her distance from to avoid getting hit.
"No. But I do have one of these." Helen said before pulling out her pistol and starting to shoot at Ruby who spun her scythe around to reflect a few of the shots until Helen realized that this wasn't going to work and stopped shooting. As Ruby quickly propelled herself forward with her scythe, Helen ran at her. Though it looked like the two were about to collide, Helen slid under her, forcing Ruby to have to use her scythe to ground herself again.
"Alan!" Helen called out before running in circles around Ruby.
Alan quickly flew away from Yang and Weiss as Weiss used a glyph to launch Yang but missed because of how unexpected the sudden fly away was.
Alan surrounded Ruby in flames. She tried spinning out of it with her Crescent Rose, but it only made things worse as she was suffocating from the heat, with the spinning exhausting more of her air.
Yang propelled herself forward with her gauntlets for a flying punch that hit Alan.
"We're not finished yet." Yang said, eyes a fire red.
Blake and Pierce were evenly matched when it came to weapon combat. But her speed was starting to become a problem for him. When she tried using shadow-clones of herself to further enhance her speed and attacks, he used his thorns to get rid of them and jumped back with Helen and Alan.
"This isn't going anywhere." Alan said.
"I know. We're down one man so that only makes things harder. But not impossible." Pierce said. "I have an idea." He then subtley leans his head a little towards Ruby. "Ready for another speed battle Helen?"
"Sure!"
"Good."
"Yang seems to be a little on the hotheaded side like Manny is. We might be able to get her to make a mistake and draw her away." Alan said.
Pierce nodded. "Whatever you need to do."
"Hey Yang! I can't wait to burn that hair of yours off. Let's see how good it looks when it's nothing but ash!" Alan taunted, sending fireballs her way.
"Don't… even…. Think about…. touching my hair!" Yang yelled out before throwing several punches at Alan.
"There she goes doing it again." Blake said.
"We've got no choice but to help." Weiss said before the rest of the team charged in to attack the trip.
Alan continued to get out of the way of Yang's punches, even bringing up a piece of the ground below him to surf through the air away from Yang.
"That's it? I would have thought you would have been a little better than that." Alan taunted.
Yang grunted in frustration before going after him. Ruby was about to aim her Crescent Rose and help but was stopped by Helen who shot at her with her pistol, forcing her to have to change targets to Helen instead. They quickly got into another melee fight with the two eventually using their speed, creating a mixed blue of red petals, and blue, black and green. Weiss was going to help instead but Pierce blocked her way.
"Don't even think about it." He said, using two thorns as weapons now, willing to fight both Blake and Weiss simultaneously.
As Helen and Ruby continued their battle, Ruby switched to rifle mode on her scythe to combat Helen and her shooting as they continued their high-speed duel. Though what she didn't expect was for Helen to suddenly stop as she grabbed onto Ruby's cape and ran around the thorn that Pierce had put into the ground, making Ruby dizzy in the process.
"Pierce!" Helen called out. He jumped in the air and while mid-air was able to acrobatically hit Ruby, knocking her unconscious before she could regain her senses and get free.
"Ruby!" Weiss called out before getting hit herself, this time knocking her out for good.
"Instead of worrying about her, she should have worried about herself." Pierce said.
Blake, angered and wanting to avenger her friend, attacked Pierce, using her speed in an attempt to overwhelm him with it. Which would have worked, had Helen not been around to help out. She hit her with a well-timed short, sending her rolling to the ground.
"Thanks." Pierce said to Helen.
"Anytime."
"Now to finish her off." Pierce said before sending a thorn at Blake. Though it wasn't her. It was another shadow.
"How did-" Pierce started before his legs were tangled up by Blake's grappling her from Gamboul Shroud. He tried to get up, but thanks to the thorns that he already created from trying to finish off Blake, he got stuck in the ground.
"Let's see if your speed can keep up with mine." Helen said.
Meanwhile, in the battle between Yang and Alan, Yang was getting exhausted.
"You look tired. Need a break?" Alan asked, still in the air.
"Shut up." Yang said, breathing hard.
"Want me to let you in on a little secret?"
"Is it how to make you stop talking?"
"This was all a distraction. I literally said that we could separate you from the rest of your team because of how hotheaded you are. And look at that, it worked!" Alan said.
Hearing this made Yang's jaw drop. She immediately tried to run and get back to the rest of her team which allowed Alan to easily dispatch her with some fire blasts.
"Wow. Wasn't expecting that one." Alan said, surprised. "Guess she's not a hundred percent like Manny after all. He probably would have tried to hit me even harder."
Alan flew back to help Pierce and Helen. "All right. One more to go."
"Guessing you took care of Yang?" Pierce asked.
"Yep." Alan said. Blake gasped, realizing that she was the only one left.
"Don't worry, you'll be joining them pretty soon." Pierce said.
"Well it's a good thing I came then." A voice said. Dax!
"Looks like I missed quite a party. How about we start another one?" Dax said pulling out two cores.
"Boost! Airswitch! Launch!" After hitting trees the two Monsuno were unleashed from their cores.
"Three on three huh? Alright, I think we can manage." Alan said.
"We'll see about that Heatblast Jr." Dax said.
Ash accompanied Fred, Lindsay, Daphne and Velma as they arrived at Playa Des Losers. After running into Ippo and giving him some help in bringing in Manny, with Dax going off on his own, believing he can handle himself with his Monsuno, he decided to go off to help the Mystery Inc. Trio and Lindsay.
"From what Manny told us, it should be here." Velma said.
Flashback
"Good you're awake. Now, we can get some answers." Fred said.
"All right mister Four Arms ripoff! Where's Chris?" Ash asked.
"You're wastin' your time. There's nothing any of you can do to get me to talk." Manny said.
"There may not be anything they can do, but I can." Grim said, pointing his scythe at Manny.
"Nice costume." Manny said sarcastically.
Grim sliced up one of the beds in half and then opening up a portal to the underworld.
"Does this look like a costume now!?" Grim bellowed.
Manny's eyes widened. "Who…. what are you?"
"I'm the Grim Reaper!" Grim said before unleashing bats. Though the bats started to fly past everyone else too. "Oh. Sorry. Got carried away again." He said, bringing all of the bats back through another portal.
"Alright, alright. I think that's enough of a demonstration. I'll talk." Manny said.
End Flashback
They went inside the cottage. Though they were greeted by several turrets that shot at them.
"Everyone get down!" Fred shouted.
"Squirtle! Bulbasaur! I choose you!" Ash called out.
"Squirtle! Squirtle!" Squirtle said, about to put on his glasses only for them to be knocked away by one of the lasers. Both of the recently brought out Pokemon ran away from the lasers that were being shot at them back where Ash was, which was behind one of the shelves.
"Squirtle! Bulbasaur! Help Pikachu take out those turrets!"
Both Pokemon nodded as the Pokemon trio went out into battle. While Pikachu used thunderbolt to destroy one, Bulbasaur used razer leaf to destroy another. Bulbasaur used water gun to short out three other turrets. The rest of them were rinse and repeat, using whatever moves needed to get rid of the turrets before they were either shut down or nothing but scrap.
"Looks like the coast is clear." Fred said.
"It's probably a good idea to have the Pokemon accompany us just in case. Who knows what other traps are around." Velma said.
"Good idea." Ash said as they continued moving. As they did, unknowingly, cameras were watching them.
Meanwhile, the battle between Boost, Airswitch and Blake continued, with Bioblaze joining the battle as well.
"I think it's time for you to cool off! Airswitch! Bioblaze! Give 'em a breeze!" Dax said. Airswitch and Bioblaze both combined their wing flaps to create a strong gust of wind. And unlike when he used it against Tiger Claw, this one was strong enough to be able to put out Alan's flames.
A beep was heard, giving Helen and Pierce an alert.
"Helen." He said before moving his head to the side a bit, gesturing for her to go and take care of that alert.
Helen suddenly sped off. She was worried for him, but she believed he was more than capable of handling himself.
"You're not goin' with her huh? Guess you're sacrificing yourself. How noble of you. Too bad it's not gonna get you anywhere but eatin' dirt. Boost! Tracer assault!" Boost and Blake both used their speed to try and confuse Pierce. His eyes darted around but he kept his head and instead of trying to fight both, he simply jumped away.
"Not a bad decision. Too bad it doesn't matter! Airswitch! Sonic Screech!" The sonic blasts were well timed, causing him to have to cover his ears in pain as he was on the ground.
Pierce put his hands up in surrender. "Okay. You win Dax. I'll go quietly."
Dax thought about returning his Monsuno but decided against it and put the core for Boost away.
"Don't try any funny business. Or you're gonna be Monsuno meat." Dax warned.
"I understand. You have my word." Pierce said. He was restrained. Yang, Weiss and Ruby, still unconscious, were put on Boost's back. He was hoping they'd be able to get back to the cabins before the eight minutes were up.
"Wait a minute. How the heck do you know my name?" Dax asked.
Several beeps were heard again, this time from the timer that was set.
"What's that?" Blake said, hearing the beeps.
"I knew something wasn't right. He's callin' for help!" Dax said.
"I'm not. Here." Pierce said, handing him the timer he had.
"Give us a reason why we should trust anything you say." Blake said.
"I'll explain everything. Just take me to wherever Manny is."
"So you can get him free? That's exactly what we were gonna do but since that's where you wanna go, no way." Dax said.
"You take me where he is, you'll find out where Chris and the ones we captured are. What we're doing, this isn't what you think it is." Pierce said.
Dax thought about it for a minute before saying, "You got a lot of explainin' to do. And for the record, I still don't trust you."
"You're just going to lead him back to the cabins?" Blake asked.
"What other choice do we have? He's the ringleader of all this so he has to know where Chris is. Besides, I'm guessin' that timer was that same 30 minutes he talked about before. And nothin' went boom. Let's at least hear what he has to say. Then, if we don't like it, you can knock him out." Dax said.
Blake gave a small smile at the last bit at Dax's attempt to cheer her up as they headed back to the cabins.
Abandoned Film Lot
Ladybug, Zoey, Mandy and Sokka were all searching around the film lot for any hint of where Chris or the others were.
"We've been aimlessly walking around for like forever. What if everyone else is dead while we're just walking around in this film lot?" Sokka said aloud.
"We have to keep looking. We can't just give up." Marinette said.
"Yeah you say that, but my stomach says otherwise." Sokka said.
"Did you ever think about the fact that Chris is the one that opens the portals for us? And gets the boats genius? We don't find Chris, no one's able to go home. At least if you're not from around this universe." Mandy said.
Marinette put her hands on her head. "I didn't even think about that! That only makes this even more urgent! Come on!" She said before running faster.
They run past the Aftermath set.
"Hey, what if something's in there?" Zoey proposed.
"She's got a point. We did have to go here during that horror challenge." Sokka said.
"Wouldn't hurt to take a look." Marinette said.
"I'll stand guard." Mandy said.
"What are you gonna do?" Sokka asked, eyebrow raised.
"Anyone comes around, both you and them will find out." Mandy said.
"Hmm…." Sokka said, looking at her suspiciously before shrugging and saying, "Okay, I buy that."
The other three go inside.
"What? If it's a trap, someone needs to live to tell the tale." Mandy said to the audience.
The entire room was dark.
"Guys, this is creeping me out." Zoey whispered nervously.
"We just got in here and you're already scared?" Sokka asked.
"Yes! Yes I am!" Zoey admitted, still whispering.
"Well, I can appreciate your honesty." Sokka whispered.
"Guys, be quiet. We don't know who or what could be in here." Marinette whispered.
Suddenly, a figure emerged from the shadows. It was Ben!
"Ben! Awesome! You're here too! We could use your aliens to help us find Chris and the others. There's these weird guys that look like your aliens that took him and got the money." Sokka said.
"I already know." The 16-Year-Old Ben said.
"Great! So, did you find them?" Zoey asked.
"Yeah. I did." Ben16 said.
"Ben? I know you're not your 10-year-old self but you're usually a lot more talkative than this. And lively. Are you feeling okay?" Marinette asked suspiciously.
"I'm fine. Why?" Ben16 asked.
"You're worrying too much." Sokka said before going up close to him to look at his eyes closely along with the rest of his face and behind him. "I don't see any type of markings or anything like that. He's fine. Maybe he's just focused on getting the others back."
Ladybug still had this weird feeling in her stomach, but decided to just ignore it. "Okay. Maybe I am being a bit too paranoid."
"Come on! There's no time to lose!" Marinette said about to start running again.
"Or….. maybe you aren't scared enough." Ben16 said, in the same tone that he was speaking before that made Marinette feel uneasy. He chose a form on his Omnitrix before transforming.
"What-" Ladybug started before she and the others turned around. The only thing that was heard was all three yelling.
"What did I say?" Mandy said to the audience, shrugging before walking away.
Phoenixes Left: 13
At Playa Des Losers, as predicted by Velma, there were more traps set. From wall turrets to even just nets. Ironically though, Velma and Fred were captured in these traps. Though the irony for those two are for two completely different reasons.
"I got caught by a trap! Man, you don't see that every day." Fred said. "They may be criminals but I'll give them this: They sure know how to make some traps."
"We're stuck here captured by criminals and all you can think of are traps?" Velma asked.
"I was actually trying to think of a way to get us out too. I'm just admiring good work, that's all." Fred said.
A blue blur sped to where they were and freed them.
"Not what I was thinking of but hey, it works for me." Fred said.
"Why exactly are you letting us go?" Velma asked suspiciously.
"Come with me, I'll explain everything." Helen said.
"You kidnap someone and trap us in cages and you expect us to just follow you?" Fred asked.
"Even if you tried to run, I could catch you both." Helen said. "So if I really wanted to hurt you I would have done it by now."
"Fair point." Fred said. They both follow Helen to where she was going.
Chris was seen sitting in a chair on a laptop as Ash, Lindsay, and Daphne went through the door.
"Yo! What's up?" Chris said, looking up from the laptop.
"Chris? What the heck is going on here?" Ash asked as Chris was on a laptop.
"Where are the others?" Daphne asked.
"I thought you were kidnapped." Lindsay said.
"Aftermath trailer." Helen said with Fred and Daphne behind her.
"Aftermath trailer? How do you know that?" Ash asked.
"Because I told Helen and the others to bring them there." Chris said.
"Wait, you told them?" Ash asked, confused.
"What exactly is going on here Chris?" Daphne asked.
"Head to the aftermath trailer and you'll know everything." Chris said.

Velma(Fighting Lions):
"I'd love to hear the explanation for this."
***End Confessional***

Chris:
"Wait, so if Chris told them to bring them there, does that mean Chris kidnapped himself or….?"
***End Confessional***
Aftermath Trailer
Everyone, for the most part was at the aftermath trailer.
"Okay, to answer the question in everyone's minds, no I was not actually kidnapped. All of it was staged. This was your actual challenge!" Chris said.
"Wait, so rescuing you was the challenge?" Hawkeye asked.
"No. It was another hunting challenge. These guys were hunting you." Chris said.
"I'm Pierce. We're the Plumbers' Helpers." Pierce said, greeting himself to everyone. "This is Manny."
"What's up?"
"Helen."
"Hey." Helen said, giving a friendly wave.
"And hothead here's Alan."
"Hey." Alan said, waving. "Hey uh Yang, sorry about those things I said."
"Ow!" He was punched in the arm by Yang. Hard.
"Now I accept your apology." Yang said.
"So you're not playin' on the wrong team after all." Cyborg said to Manny.
"Nope. Home team all the way baby." Manny said.
"Speaking of apologies, I'm sorry too Lance. I let my emotions get the best of me. If it wasn't for me we probably wouldn't have been caught." Rally said.
"Hey, don't worry about it." Lance said, already moved on.
"Speaking of getting caught, the objective of the game was to have the least amount of members caught. Which means, the Lions win this challenge!" Chris said.
"Ha! You did all that betrayin' and you still ended up losing!" Leshawna said to Heather Chandler who only rolled her eyes as she was now wearing a top hat.
"And by the way, that top hat looks ridiculous on you." TD Heather said.
"Just like that military cut looks ridiculous on you." Heather Chandler said.
"At least I have a hair style." TD Heather said.
"Settle down you two, there's plenty of time for you to kill each other in later episodes but for right now I want to talk about immunity. Immunity could be awarded for this challenge, but only to those that were able to defeat at least one of the helpers. Only two of them were defeated which means only two people get to enjoy immunity today, Dax and Falcon!" Chris explained.
"Nice!" Dax said.
"Awesome!" Falcon said.
"And that's pretty much it. The money's safe and sound and yet another elimination will take place tonight. I'll see both of you at the elimination ceremony tonight." Chris said.
"Wait, both? Why?" Ruby asked, confused.
"You'll find out tonight." Chris said, a grin on his face.
"Also quick question, what was going on with Ben?" Marinette asked.
"How could that thing have something that scary?" Sokka asked, still in a bit of shock from what he saw. "I think I'm going to be having nightmares for the next few days because of that."
"Oh yeah, that. I decided to play along and help out. Since I did something like this where I pretended to be bad and take Grandpa Max hostage as a training exercise for them, I thought, 'hey why not do it again'? It was actually pretty fun." Ben16 said.
"So you scared everyone with that form?" Marinette asked.
"Nope. Just you three." Ben16 said.
"Wait, so no one else saw that? No one!?" Sokka asked.
"Nope. I got them all to move somewhere else." Ben16 said.
"We figured at least one of you would go snooping around the Aftermath Set. And it turns out we were right." Pierce said.
"So we had Ben here play security." Helen said.
"I don't know what he chose to scare you guys with. And I probably don't wanna know." Manny said.
"Trust me, you definitely don't." Sokka said.
"Well, anyways, we'll be seeing you all." Pierce said.
"Always great seeing you man." Alan said to Ben16.
"Same here." Ben16 said, as the two gave each other a fist bump.
"Oh, one more thing I forgot. That half alien thing I said is true." Alan said.
"Half-alien?" Zoey repeated, confused.
"Yeah. Believe it or not, we might look like it but we're not fully alien. We're only half. We're still half-human too." Helen said.
"Wait, so if that's the case then how did-" Richie started before immediately dismissing the thought. "You know what I don't wanna know."
"Trust me, it's nothing like that at all. It's a long story, but that definitely didn't happen." Ben16 said.
"I'll take your word for it." Richie said.
"So like, if Alan can transform back, can they?" Lindsay asked.
"Us two? Nope. Luck of the draw unfortunately." Manny said, referring to Helen as well. "I don't mind though. Just means I get to have four of these bad boys 24/7." He said, flexing all four arms.
"Any other questions you'd like to ask us before we leave?" Pierce asked.
"Nah." Sokka said.
"Nope." Ruby said.
"I'm good." Yang said.
"Nah." Cyborg said.
"Alright then, goodbye! Mabe one day, we'll meet again." Pierce said before he and all the others go through the portal that Chris opened.
"That was a fun challenge. Wouldn't you agree?" Chris asked.
Silence was heard.
"You guys are no fun you know that? It was just a joke." Chris said.
"Well it wasn't funny." TD Heather said.
"The elimination ceremony tonight won't be a laughing matter either. Make sure all of you are there tonight!" Chris said.
"Hi-YAAAAAAH!" Spongebob yelled out, leaping in as he, Huey, Rigby, Jack, Dipper, Eddy and Spider-Man entered.
"Uh yeah the challenge is over." Chris said.
"Aw man!" Rigby said.
"What do you mean 'aw man'? You were the one that got us lost you idiot!" Eddy said.
"I didn't hear you comin' up with any better ideas!" Rigby shouted back before the two got into another fight again. One that many of the contestants weren't even going to bother trying to break up.

Velma(Fighting Lions):
"So instead of outright giving us the challenge you fake your own kidnapping and use that as a disguise for a challenge. An unorthodox, but effective way to get people to do your challenges, especially considering what happened yesterday. And also, I smell a double elimination. There's no other reason why Chris would want both teams to attend."
***End Confessional***
Campfire Ceremony
TD Elimination Theme Plays
"Alright. Thank you all for coming tonight! First off I'd like to say this second challenge was a lot more successful than the first, considering that we got to actually complete it. And a lot more fun than I would have hoped. Tons of interesting stuff happened here." Chris said. Though no reaction was given.
"Really? Nothing? No reaction? You've got nothing to say to that?" Chris asked.
Still no response from anyone.
"Okay, so apparently now you guys are mad at me for pretending to be in danger. You all must be really fun at parties." Chris said sarcastically.
"This is really draining dude. It really is. So much so that I'm gonna just go ahead and get this over with."
"Following Phoenixes are safe:"
"Hawkeye!"
"Jack!"
"Rigby!"
"Spongebob!"
"Lance!"
"Mandy!"
"Marinette!"
"Beast Boy!"
"Cyborg!"
"Heather Chandler!"
"Peter!"
"Gary!"
"Dan Hibiki!"
"Hey Dan Hibiki I just thought of something." Dan Kuso said.
"What's up? Want an autograph?" Dan Hibiki asked.
"Uh no. I was just gonna ask that I didn't see you at the aftermath set today. Were you alright?" Dan Kuso asked.
"Never better!" Dan Hibiki said, giving his signature smile.
"Vicky!"
"Dan Kuso!"
"Sokka!"
"And Zoey!"
"Dan Mandel! You're out man!"
Everyone looked at him, waiting for him to rant or explode, but he didn't. "Meh." Dan Mandel said before going to get his bags.
"Didn't see that coming." Vicky said, genuinely surprised.
"Yeah, me neither." Chris said. "But you probably didn't see this coming either. Because Falcon was the first to get immunity for himself, as a treat, he gets to eliminate anyone from the Lions! But it's his choice only of who gets to go and his alone. No outside opinions from anyone. Got it?"
"You got it?" Falcon said.
"Alright Falcon, make your choice."
"Hmm…" Falcon started.
"This is going to be tough." He thought, looking at each of them.
"There's Reimu. Sure we get rid of someone that Vegeta claimed to be powerful but she gets replaced by another person that has power."
"Then there's Heather. She's a jerk but her days are numbered."
"I got it!" Falcon thought, coming up with an answer.
"I choose….." Falcon started.

"Weiss!"
"What?" Weiss said in surprise.
"You heard him. You're done Weiss."
"But…. why me? Out of all the others you choose me. Why?" Weiss asked.
"I'm not going for just you. I'm going for your team of three." Falcon said.
Everyone looked on in surprise why Ruby gasped.
"Oh no. Then, that means-" Ruby started, in fear of what Chris was about confirm.
"That's right. You and Blake are out too!" Chris announced.
"Nothing personal guys. It's all in the game." Falcon said.
The three gathered their bags and got on the boat with Dan Mandel.
"I was hoping we could make it all the way together." Ruby said a little saddened.
"Hey, you better not be crying or sulking. I'll win for all of us." Yang said.
"It won't be the same as winning, but, that'll be a pretty close substitute." Blake said, smiling.
"I was hoping to get to the merger and beat Heather myself. I was fully capable of doing so. Now that's no longer possible." Weiss said. "Which means you better beat Heather for me."
"Oh trust me, that won't be a problem at all." Yang said.
"Dan! Nothing to say to your team?" Chris asked Dan Mandel.
"Nope, not really." Dan Mandel said.
"Really?" Chris asked, not prepared for that answer.
"Trust me I'll be fine. I have no emotional attachments to this team. Therefore I can sleep well at night and will continue to do so." Dan Mandel said. "Alright Chef, take us away!" Chris said as the boat started to move away from the island.
Chris turns towards the teams. "The rest of you are safe! For now!"
"And with that, day two of viewer requested challenges comes to a close with two, or technically four more contestants now out of the running! What will the final challenge have in store? Will it involve any more schemes to get them to do the challenge? Find out next time on Total…. Drama…. Island! Multiverse Edition!"
***Confessional***
Falcon(Soaring Phoenixes):
"So you're probably wondering why I chose to eliminate those three. Easy. To even the odds in our favor. They've got a numbers advantage on us. Getting rid of three for the price of 1 was something that I wasn't going to let slip away."

Epilogue
As Dan Mandel gets off the boat, he pulls out a list and crosses off "CHRIS MCLEAN" and writes a name above it: "VICKY".
Flashback
Dan Hibiki was running around the forest searching for Alan, Pierce, Manny and Helen until he felt he had to use the bathroom. He goes to find a good place to use it as he felt he wouldn't be able to get back to the bathroom in time. As he was finishing up, he hears footsteps, causing him to immediately jump into a fighting stance.
"Come on out! Show yourself cowards!" He shouted, accidentally hitting a bear in the jaw as he pumped his fist. It roared at him, causing Dan Hibiki to run in panic.
"Ha! Good luck catching up to-" Dan Hibiki said, head turned before running into a rock and falling unconscious.
