*Theme Song*

All the contestants were sleeping in their cabins peacefully...but knowing Chris...

Soon the airhorn went off as all the contestants screamed and groaned waking up.

"Campers. Please meet me and Chef at the mess hall for an important announcement! Pronto!" Chris said.

Soon the contestants got out of their cabins and walked down to the mess hall and soon looked at the competition that they had left.

000000000000000000000000000000000

"Finally, the merge." Charming said. "I was getting sick of working with those incompetents. Now that I'm on my own now, things are gonna be changing around here."

000000000000000000000000000000000

Soon the contestants arrived at the mess hall where they met up with Chris and Chef.

"Campers, congrats on making it to the halfway point of Total Drama Universe! Didn't think most of you would make it this far." Chris said.

"Thanks, I guess." Sasha said.

"But back to business." Chris said. "The teams are now merged and we're gonna relocate you guys. The boys will be in the Flames Cabin and the girls will be in the Foxes Cabin, get yourselves moved before we start our next challenge."

"What is the challenge anyway?" Flint asked.

"Where's the fun in telling you?" Chris asked laughing. "Now...get movin'."

The campers soon nodded and headed back to the cabins.

000000000000000000000000000000000

"I feel so bad for Yuya." Velma said. "He's gonna have to share a cabin with Charming and Jack, I can only imagine that going well."

000000000000000000000000000000000

Soon Charming put his hand on Yuya's shoulder and laughed as Yuya glared at him.

"What do you want?" Yuya asked.

"Is that anyway of greeting your new cabin mate?" Charming smirked. "Your little pet fox and girlfriend aren't gonna be there to help you."

Yuya simply ignored him.

"Ignore me all you want." Charming said. "You'll be out of my way soon enough."

"Don't you mean 'our' way?" Jack asked him.

"Whatever." Charming said.

Vert and Flint simply glared at Charming and Jack.

000000000000000000000000000000000

"That handsome jerk is wrong about that." Vert said. "It's three guys against two jerks. If we can team up, we can eliminate one of them."

000000000000000000000000000000000

Soon the contestants got their new cabins ready and soon met with Chris at the beach, and soon he arrived in a jeep driven by Chef and to their shock he was in a Mario Outfit but his hat had a C on it.

"It's-a me, Chris!" Chris said doing a terrible Mario impression.

"Wow, that's the worst Mario impression I've ever heard in my life." Sasha said.

"I'm gonna pretend I didn't hear that." Chris said trying to brush off that compliment. "Anyway, as you can tell by my clothes today's challenge is...A Mario Kart race!"

"A racing challenge, awesome!" Vert said excitedly. After all since he was a street racer, he could ace this challenge.

"Looks like I got the Teku Racer's excitement, this challenge will be similar to our Motocross challenge from Season 1." Chris explained. "You all will have to build your own kart racers. After that, you will race around the island that will be stacked with all sorts of...surprises." He added with a laugh at the end. "The first contestants to make it to the finish line in first, second orthird place will get prizes. But like last time, the last person to cross the finish line or fails to cross it will be automatically eliminated."

000000000000000000000000000000000

"That's just great." Charming said annoyed. "First challenge of the merge and it's an automatic elimination. And knowing I'm such a big target right now, I'm probably gonna be the one to stop from winning. But I need to get in at least the top 3 for one of those prizes." He added. "All I have to do is check out the competition and see who to sabotage. Vert's a big one since he's an experienced racer."

000000000000000000000000000000000

"So what are we gonna use to build our karts?" Yuya asked.

"Glad you asked." Chris said. "You've played Mario Kart 7 or 8 Deluxe, right?"

They nodded.

Soon Chris snapped his fingers and what rose from the ground were slot machines with a kart piece, wheel piece and glider piece on each of the slots.

"Aw, cool!" Vert said excited.

"You'll be able to build your karts with the pieces from those respective games." Chris said. "So get creative with your karts to your heart's content. You have 20 minutes to build your carts, starting now."

Soon the 12 contestants went to their machines and started building.

Yuya Sakaki:

"Let's see what we got here." Yuya went scrolling through the parts. "I think I'll just go with the standard kart, can't go wrong with the usual pick, now for the wheels."

He looked through the wheels and soon picked the Cushion wheels.

"Oh, those wheels look good." Yuya said and soon selected them and soon he moved on to the glider. "Parafoil...perfect."

Yuya soon pressed the button and his cart was done.

Sasha Waybright:

"Alright Sasha, time to make mine." As she soon chose Sports Coupe and the Slick Tires. "And what better one than a Sports Kart?"

And soon she moved on to the glider pieces.

"What do we have to choose?" Sasha said. "Eh, Super Glider's goo enough."

She soon pressed the button to let it know it was done.

Flint Lockwood:

"Let's go." Flint said. "Design choosing, Spec observing, simulating results..."

Flint just kept rambling about he wanted his cart to look as the others looked at him.

000000000000000000000000000000000

"...Idiot." Loona said referring to how Flint acted.

000000000000000000000000000000000

Sooner or later, Flint had picked the pieces of what he thought would be good. Kart being the Mach 8, Slim Tires and the Standard glider.

"Let's race!" Flint said.

Webby Vanderquack:

"Oh, let's do a dune buggy." Webby said.

Soon Webby had picked the Bolt Buggy, Monster Wheels with the Plane Glider/

"Not bad." Webby said admiring her kart picks.

Diane Foxington:

She soon began looking through the kart pieces but didn't like the selection.

"Nah, I'm a kart person." Diane said. "Motorbikes on the other hand."

She soon checked out the bike pieces for the karts and soon saw the Sports Bike.

"Oh, I like that." She smirked and picked that and soon looked at the Cyber Slick Wheels.

"I'll take those too." Diane chose her tires as she then chose her glider. "I'm good to go."

Loona:

Loona soon looked at her's.

"Time to make the most badass kart...or at least what can come close to it." Loona said. "Not much to work with honestly."

She soon quickly picked the Bone Rattler ATV, Red Monster and the Beast Glider.

"Seems good enough." She smirked. "Let's burn some rubber."

Meg Griffin:

"Okay...what to do?" Meg asked herself and looked at her selection. "I mean this looks go enough."

She soon picked the Pipe Frame kart piece.

"Not the most impressive part but any kart is better than no kart."

Soon she picked the slick tires and the Standard Glider.

"There, that oughta do it."

Velma Dinkley:

She soon began to think on her design and soon shrugged it off

"How about this one?" She soon selected the Birthday Girl kart. "Now for the tires."

She soon choose the Roller wheels and finally for the glider, she picked the Parafoil.

"Now, let's race." Velma smirked.

Prince Charming:

Charming smirked as he knew his cart option.

"Obviously." He soon picked all the gold parts, and Velma smirked seeing that.

000000000000000000000000000000000

"Big mistake, pretty boy." Velma smirked fixing her glasses.

000000000000000000000000000000000

Jack Spicer:

"Now, what kind of kart for this race will fit Evil Genius, Jack Spicer." He smirked as he soon looked through the kart pieces.

"Perfect." He smirked as he picked the Bruiser, Slick Tires and Beast Glider. "Watch out everyone, you'll see what happens when your on the road with Jack Spicer."

"Wow, I'm so afraid." Loona rolled her eyes.

"Oh yeah...well...you'll see!" Jack yelled as Charming rolled his eyes.

000000000000000000000000000000000

"His days are numbered in this competition." Charming said. "But before I can severe ties with him once and for all, I'm gonna need him to take out a few...threats for me, as for Meg...I know what I can do."

000000000000000000000000000000000

Jack Spicer:

Luz was now getting around to choosing her kart parts.

"Oh, I'm so definitly choosing this." She chose the Cat Cruiser. "And these two should finish it." as she picked the Cyber Slick and Cloud Gliders.

A finally we have Vert who already picked his kart, which was the P-Wing, Blue Standard and Standard Glider.

"Looks like your normal average Teku car to me." Vert smirked.

"Are all the racers ready and karts done?" Chris asked as the contestants nodded. "Great! Get your karts to the starting line and get them ready for the race which will start in 20 minutes."

Soon they put their carts together, while they did that...Charming glared at his biggest threat in this challenge...Vert Wheeler, since he was a street racer after all.

000000000000000000000000000000000

"Yep...I'm going for the street racer, time for a little sabotage." Charming said smirking.

000000000000000000000000000000000

Soon he went to Jack Spider as he worked on his own ride.

"Spicer, I need your help." Charming said.

"What is it now, can't you see I'm busy?" Jack asked working on his own cart.

"We'll be busy eating dust with Vert on the track, since he's a racer...he's very skilled in this, so we need to make sure he doesn't win...time for a little sabotage." Charming said. "Do you have something that could mess up his vehicle?"

Jack thought about it.

000000000000000000000000000000000

"As much I hate to say it, Charming's right." Jack said. "Vert can't win this challenge, I'm only doing this because Jack Spicer is the only one here worthy enough to win."

000000000000000000000000000000000

He soon got out a little device.

"Put this anywhere on his kart, and Wheeler's in for a special little surprise." Jack smirked as Charming took it.

"No problem, but we need someone trustworthy near Vert since he doesn't trust either of us." Charming smirked and soon looked at Meg. "Meg, can we talk for a minute?"

Meg looked back and soon came to the two.

"What do you want?" Meg asked.

"Straight to business, I like that." Charming said and soon gave her Jack's device. "Place this on Vert's kart."

"Vert?" Meg asked. "Why him?"

"That is not your concern." Charming asked. "What is our concern is to make sure we're not the ones going home."

"Well...I guess..." Meg asked. "But...what does it do?"

"Relax, it's not gonna blow up his kart...if that's what your worried about." Charming said and soon looked at Jack. "It's not gonna blow it up, is it?"

Jack simply looked and then slowly nodded nervously.

000000000000000000000000000000000

"Yeeeeah...probably should've mentioned that bug wasn't tested." Jack said getting nervous.

000000000000000000000000000000000

"Good enough for me." Charming said. "And even if it does blow up his kart, why do you care? Just means less competition for you, right?"

"I mean...sure, but..." Meg said nervous.

"Good, now get to it...chop chop." Charming as he sent Meg away to deal with him.

000000000000000000000000000000000

"This is the second time that Charming's had me sabotage someone." Meg said. "I want to win Total Drama, don't get me wrong...but I'm not too sure how to feel of what methods I'm doing to do it."

000000000000000000000000000000000

Vert soon was working on final touches of his kart while Meg was sneaking up and placed the device under his kart.

She soon got up and was about to leave till Vert saw her.

"Hey Meg, what's up?" Vert asked.

"Crap." Meg whispered to herself as she was now seen, but she acted along with it. "Oh, hey Vert. Just came to see your car."

"Yeah, you like it?" Vert asked. "Tried using the kart parts to make it close as it comes to a Teku car."

"Well...looks to be pretty fast." Meg said. "Well...the challenge is starting soon."

Meg soon began to get back to work on her kart.

"Hey Meg." Vert called to her and smiled. "Best of luck."

Meg soon looked surprised at that genuine compliment.

"Oh." Meg said and looked back. "Well...thanks."

"No problem." Vert smiled. "See you in the race."

000000000000000000000000000000000

"Vert seems like a really nice guy...now I feel bad for sabotaging his kart." Meg said. "Since where I'm from...almost little to no one treats me with such niceness like people here have."

000000000000000000000000000000000

Soon the contestants got ready to race as they lined up on the starting line.

"Racers, get ready to race!" Chris said. "To make this race interesting, this track we had made for this challenge should make things fun...for me."

"Of course." Loona growled.

"The track will be divided into three sections: Section 1 contains just a swift drive through the island's forest, Section 2 is a swift underwater drive through the lake and the final section is to drive across that spiraling mountain and glide back to Pahkitew...first three to cross the finish line will will rewards, last one to cross the line or last one to fail cross the line will be eliminated."

"Start your engines!" Chef yelled as the contestants soon started up their karts a soon came a cardboard cutout of Lakitu with his starting lights appeared.

They all shifted gears and revved up their karts as the lights counted down.

"3...2...1...GO!" Chris yelled as the contestants put the pedal to the metal.

"And, they're off!" Chris yelled and soon smirked at Chef. "Wanna watch the action from the tent with some lunch."

"Burgers and Fries?" Chef suggested as Chris smiled at that.

"Now your speaking my language," Chris smirked as they head to the host's tent...meanwhile the contestants raced into the woods.

The contestants now entered Pahkitew's forest.

"Eat my dust." Vert smirked as he shifted gears and drove past them.

Loona coughed as he breathed in some of the dust and glared.

"He's so dead." Loona growled and bashed into the back of his kart.

Charming soon noticed that he was slowing down, and it made sense since his kart was made of pure gold.

"What the heck?!" Charming yelled.

"See ya." Luz smirked waving at Charming laughing as Velma smirked.

000000000000000000000000000000000

"Told you Charming made a mistake with taking all the Gold Kart pieces." Velma said. "His kart is now slower than ever other kart in the race."

000000000000000000000000000000000

Soon the contestants saw item boxes up ahead and soon dashed to grab one.

"And it looks like our contestants have found the item boxes scattered across the track, each item more chaotic than the last." Chris announced and soon Yuya hit an item box.

Yuya looked and saw it landed on a green shell.

"Okay, let's see what this does." Yuya said and soon threw the shell as it bounced around and soon ricochet and it hit him back making him spin out as the others passed him.

"Ha, ha!" Charming laughed.

000000000000000000000000000000000

"There's a lot of people I wanna make smile, but not the way Charming does." Yuya said.

000000000000000000000000000000000

"Oooh. Looks like Yuya's green shell backfired on him!" Chris said.

Soon Charming hit an item box and it gave him triple red shells.

"This just fun." Charming smirked and soon saw Diane.

"Take this you dirty mutt!" He yelled as he threw his red shell.

"Nice try, pretty boy." She said as she had a banana ready and put it behind the shell which stopped it.

"Lucky break." Charming said and soon saw Sasha. "Let's try it again."

He threw his red shell at Sasha but she simply smirked and threw a green shell back it, leaving Charming with only one red shell left.

"Seriously?!" Charming yelled.

"Nice one." Diane smirked at Sasha, giving her a thumbs up as Sasha nodded.

"Tough luck, asswipe." Loona smirked and shifted gears as Charming was coughing up her dust.

"No one...mocks...me!" Charming stepped on it and threw the next red shell at Loona, and for once...Charming got a hit.

"Ah! Damn you, Charming!" Loona growled.

Webby has behind the others and soon looked to see a ramp.

She soon headed for it and jumped off the ramp, landing her in the middle of the pack.

"Woohoo! This is fun!" Webby yelled excited.

"You said it!" Luz said and soon hit an item box and soon got a...coin. "A coin...seriously?" She asked with a deadpan face.

"Ha!" Jack pointed laughing and soon drove into an item box...but it made his kart flip as it was a fake item box.

"Serves you right, you jerk!" Webby yelled back at Jack.

"Get a move on, simpleton!" Charming yelled at Jack. "Otherwise I'll make sure your the one going home."

000000000000000000000000000000000

"Okay...pretty boy's starting to annoy me." Jack said getting ticked. "I've done everything he's asked of me...yet no appreciation. He makes Wuya better by comparison."

000000000000000000000000000000000

The contestants were now heading into the water section of the track.

"Looks like they're out of the forest and heading straight to the water." Chris said and soon began to think. "But it feels like something is missing...oh yeah!"

He soon formed a devilish smirked and pressed a button on a remote, down below the lake opened up cages and coming out of them were sharks, who were hungry and ready to eat the drivers.

"Attention kart racers, you are now entering the second section of the track!" Chris said. "Also, there are sharks in the water. Oh, and before I forget...there are sharks in the water!"

"WHY?!" Meg asked screaming.

"Because I put them there, so better get to the third section and fast." Chris said. "Otherwise, your shark food."

Soon the contestants drove off the cliff as they began to fall into the lake and soon their karts activated their underwater functions, the contestants were surprised how they could breath underwater when air bubbles formed around their head.

"I'm not even gonna ask how this makes sense." Velma said.

"Same here." Flint said as he was amazed how this was possible.

Soon they kept racing through, the sharks saw the racers and smirked devilishly as they were now peckish for some fresh meat.

Yuya kept racing and looked at his rearview mirror and saw sharks coming from behind.

"Guys! We got company!" Yuya yelled.

"Evasive action!" Diane yelled as she and her alliance drove to dodge the sharks, Charming soon took this opportunity to speed past them to take the lead.

"Thanks for the pathway to victory." Charming smirked as he soon moved away to take the lead.

The sharks soon charged at Loona and soon Loona growled very aggressively at the Shark, which made it flee and whipper swimming away.

000000000000000000000000000000000

"That'll teach 'em not to f**k with me." Loona growled.

000000000000000000000000000000000

Soon they saw more item boxes.

"Jackpot." Jack smirked and headed for the boxes and the contestants got some fair share of items.

They soon got their selection of items...Jack got a Boo.

"A ghost, how is this gonna help me?" Jack asked. "Useless!"

The boo glared and only got him a coin out of spite.

000000000000000000000000000000000

"Me and my big mouth." Jack said while facepalming.

000000000000000000000000000000000

"Serves you right." Diane smirked at Jack as soon she got a green shell and soon she tried to aim at Charming. "Gotcha."

She soon threw her shell at Charming but unfortunately, Flint got in the Green Shell's path and got hit making him spin out.

"Oh...sorry, Flint." Diane said very apologetically as Flint was super dizzy.

"Wow, your aim is almost as terrible as your plan to eliminate me." Charming mocked Diane.

"Don't get so comfortable yet, rich boy." Vert smirked and shifted gears raming into Charming. "You ain't winning this time."

"Oh, looks like Vert is trying to stop Charming from winning." Chris said. "A very bold move."

"You're telling me." Chef smirked. "Kid's got guts."

Soon the others raced past them.

"Jack! Help me!" Charming smirked.

Jack soon developed a smirk and drove past him.

"Jack!" Charming yelled.

"Sorry Charming." Jack smirked. "There's only one evil in this game...and that's me! Also I'll take immunity this challenge as payment for help you sabotage the competition. Sayonara!"

Jack soon speed off as Charming glared at Jack's betrayal.

000000000000000000000000000000000

"Why that two-timing, backstabbing, two-faced little traitor! He's going to pay for this!" Charming was furious but soon smirked and snickered. "I didn't know that weakling had it in him."

000000000000000000000000000000000

Soon the contestants made it past the water section and made it back on land and crossed the second line.

"Finally, my fur couldn't take much more that water." Loona said as she was wet from it.

"Preaching to the choir." Diane agreed and revved her motorcycle as she took the lead.

"It ain't over yet," Flint said. "Shifting Gears and flooring it." He narrated as he soon put a step in his race.

"And now the contestants have reached the final part of the race, welcome to the Spiral Mountain of Despair!" Chris announced. "THe racers must race around the mountain and reach the cannon that will blast them back to Pahkitew Island, then it's a straight shot for the Finish Line!"

"Mountain of Despair, what could POSSIBLY go wrong?" Sasha asked sarcastically.

"I think we're about to find out..." Flint pointed nervously and saw Boulders roll down the hill part of the mountains.

000000000000000000000000000000000

"BOULDERS?!" Flint yelled screaming. "SERIOUSLY?!"

000000000000000000000000000000000

"Evasive Action!" Diane yelled and soon he and the other contestants swerved away to avoid them.

"This is fun" Webby yelled as she drove to dodge them and soon the other contestants gave her a strange look.

000000000000000000000000000000000

"Is it just me or is Webby one crazy bird?" Loona asked.

000000000000000000000000000000000

"Whoa!" Jack said as he was driving away from them and followed Diane and Yuya.

Meanwhile, Charming and Vert were at the back of the pack and saw them.,

"Looks like they're having a fun time." Charming smirked.

"Don't forget that we're in last place so one of us could be going home. And by the way, it's gonna be you." Vert said as shifted gears and sped up.

"You little street rat!" Charming said and soon drove fast.

Soon Luz looked at her rearview mirror and soon saw them.

"Guys...pretty boy's back." Luz glared.

"We can't let him win this challenge." Velma said. "Hopefully the boulders will slow him down."

"What about Vert?" Luz asked her.

"Nothing we can do for him now." Velma said. "We gotta hope that Vert's not the one taking the fall."

Soon most of the contestants saw the other contestants were past the boulder section and it was a quick spiral drive around this tall mountain, Charming managed to get an item box and to his luck...he got a Blue Shell and formed a devious smile.

"Alright you sly fox...let's see how you like this." Charming threw the Blue Shell and it was targeted to the lead car..at the front of the pack, we see Jack and Diane fighting for the pole position.

"Give it up you filthy fox, Jack Spicer...Evil Genius will take the lead and win this thing!" Jack smirked as Diane rolled her eyes annoyed but looked at her rearview mirror and saw the shell coming, she formed a sly smirk and had an idea.

"You want the lead Spicer? Take it!" She smirked and soon pulled back but the others were confused by her actions.

"Diane?! Why did you?!" Sasha yelled at her but pointed behind her, she only looked behind her and saw it fly back her and soon clicked what she was doing.

"Diane, you sly fox." Sasha smirked and DIane smiled at that.

"Oh, your too kind." Diane said.

In the lead, Jack was smirking as he had the leader position.

"Jack Spicer, you have once again done it." Jack said and soon heard something homing in on him. "What the?"

He looked at his mirror and saw the Blue Shell.

"Nononononono!" Jack yelled. "You can't do this to me!"

Soon the shell hit Jack and made him go flying as the other contestants drove past him.

"Gotcha." Diane smirked as JAck was back on the track and slammed his hand against the wheel.

Soon the mountain gave way and soon was about to fall down to the track below.

"Oh no." Jack said whimpering.

as now Vert and Charming drove up to him and Charming smirked seeing him about to fall.

"Charming, a little help?" Jack asked.

"Oh I'll help..." Charming drove and soon knocked Jack off the track down to the bottom. "...Myself, that is."

000000000000000000000000000000000

"That's how I deal with treachery." Charming said seriously.

000000000000000000000000000000000

"Karma once again haunts me." Jack said and soon got nervous. "I may be in trouble..."

000000000000000000000000000000000

The drives kept going up the mountain as they saw what appeared to be a cannon at the top.

"There it is!" Webby said.

"That's our ticket to the finish line." Sasha smirked.

Jack was behind the pack and soon got an item box and soon saw that it was a bullet bill.

"What the heck is this?" Jack asked but soon shurgged and soon his car becane a bullet bill and it flew past the track like a rocket.

"WHOOOOOOOOOAAAAAAAAA!" Jack yelled the wind pulled back his face.

Charming and Vert soon saw him blast by them as he was now catching up to the others.

"INCOMING!" Luz yelled.

Jack's bullet bill wore off as he was getting dizzy from the speed.

"Whoa...that was..." Jack said but soon help his mouth and puked over the side, grossing everyone out.

"Whoa!" Chris said. "Clean up on aisle 3!"

"THey better step it up." Chef said. "Because the kids are getting close to the end."

"See ya at the finish line." Diane smirked and revved her bike and ran to the finish line.

"In your dreams." Sasha said as she shifted gears and drove to speed up.

"Hey wait up." Yuya said.

Soon the contestants had made it to the top and soon saw some item boxes and grabbed them and their items varied, they got to the cannon and soon were launched out of it flying back to the island at a very fast speed.

"WOOHOO!" Webby yelled excited.

"Happy thoughts, happy thoughts, happy thoughts." Velma said to herself fast to keep herself calm.

But soon Charming got to it and got a red shell and soon smirked as he saw Yuya was right in front of him.

"So long, circus boy." Charming said and he threw his shell, making Yuya spin out and his glider deactivated having him fall to the lake below.

"YUYA!" Diane and Sasha yelled worried.

"Oops, sorry." Charming smirked as he saw the two glare at him.

"Your gonna pay for that!" Sasha yelled.

Soon Yuya was screaming as he landed on the lake below.

000000000000000000000000000000000

"That snake!" Yuya said angry.

000000000000000000000000000000000

Yuya was trying to get his kart to start.

"C'mon!" Yuya said desperately. "Start...please start."

And fortunately to his luck, Yuya's kart started up fast.

"Yes!" Yuya said and soon got pale as he heard growling behind him, he turned to see the sharks still hungry for contestants. "GAH!"

He then slammed on the gas and drove fast leaving the sharks to cough up dust.

"I gotta hurry up!" Yuya said. "I can't be eliminated now!"

Then he saw an item box and got it as the item was rolling and Yuya prayed for something good and his item box landed on...

"What...this is..." Yuya said and soon smirked.

Soon the other contestants landed on the dirt path as they saw the finish line.

"Here they come!" Chris announced. "Who's gonna take the win?! And who's gonna be the last one and thus shot from the Cannon of Shame?!"

"There it is...the finish line!" Jack smirked and then passed most of the others.

Soon Sasha had heard something.

"Hey, anyone else hear that?" Sasha asked.

Soon coming out from the lake was Yuya as he was glowing a rainbow like color.

"What's this?!" Chris said. "Yuya has gotten the Super Star! Everyone better look out."

Soon Yuya came as he knocked some of the drivers out of his way, starting with Charming.

"AH!" Charming yelled spinning out. "YOU WRETCHED BRAT!"

"That's for knocking me out of the sky!" Yuya yelled back at Charming with a smirk soon drove fast knocking some of the other contestants out of the way.

"Hey!" Loona yelled as she got hit by Yuya. "What the hell?!"

"Sorry, Loona!" Yuya said. "All's fair in love and racing!"

Soon the first one to cross the line was Yuya Sakaki.

"Talk about a comeback!" Chris said. "Yuya takes 1st Place and wins the first place prize!"

And then taking second place was Diane Foxington.

"Coming in second we have...Diane!" Chris said as she took off her helmet and smirked.

"Not bad." Diane said and smiled at Yuya. "Nice work."

"Thank you." Yuya said as he took a bow. "I hope I put on a good show."

Taking 3rd place was...Luz.

"Alright, 3rd's not bad." Luz said.

"So they get the top prizes!" Chris said. "Now it's down to elimination. Remember, last one to cross or fails to cross the line is eliminated."

Sasha soon took fourth.

"Dang it!" Sasha said. "Didn't make the top 3!"

"Don't worry, at least Charming or Jack didn't get the prizes." Yuya reassured her.

"Okay, that makes me feel better." Sasha smirked.

Charming looked nervous as he saw the others crossing the finish line, and soon drove next to Jack.

"Alright Spicer, I don't wanna go home and neither do you." Charming said. "I'm willing to give you one last chance and forgive your double-crossing...if you activate our special surprise for Vert."

000000000000000000000000000000000

"Maybe I don't wanna be eliminated or it's because I'm afraid of what he's gonna do to me if I don't do it." Jack said nervous. "I'm kinda out of options here, aren't I?"

000000000000000000000000000000000

"Ugh...fine." Jack said and soon pressed a button on his watch.

Vert smirked and soon found his car short circuit.

"What the?!" Vert said and soon found his kart began to spin out and soon was driven past by Jack and Charming who were the last ones to make it as Vert soon stopped as he was sadly the last one to make it.

"Damn it!" Loona yelled.

"That was quite close." Charming said. "But you can't take me out that easily."

Vert soon got out of his kart.

"Vert Wheeler, you've been eliminated." Chris said to Vert as he looked down defeated.

"Aw, that's a shame you have to go Vert." Charming said smugly to Vert as the street racer returned him a glare. "Oh wait...No. It's. NOT!"

He soon pushed him to the ground and laugh walking away.

"Looks like this is the end of the road for me." Vert said. "Make sure he goes down, guys."

"You bet we will." Sasha smirked. "We'll get him back for what he did."

"Enough with the happy boring moments." Chris said rolling his eyes. "Vert, Cannon of Shame, let's go."

"Yeah, yeah." Vert said and followed the hose/

"All of you, follow us as well." Chris said as the other contestants followed.

Soon one of the contestants saw something spark from Vert's kart, and the one who noticed it was Flint who saw a strange part underneath Vert's kart."

"Huh?" Flint asked and soon pulled out from the bottom and it was a bug.

Soon Webby stopped.

"Hey Flint, you coming to the elimination ceremony?" Webby asked.

"I am." Flint said. "I'll be with you in a moment."

000000000000000000000000000000000

"Looks like some kind of bug." Flint said and soon realized. "This must've been what sabotaged Vert's kart. I gotta show this to the others before it's too late."

000000000000000000000000000000000

At the elimination ceremony area, all the contestants watched as Vert was about to be loaded into the Cannon of Shame.

"Alright Vert, get in." Chris said.

"Can get a helmet at least." Vert said.

"GUYS! WAIT!" Flint yelled and soon he stopped to catch his breath.

"What is it, Flint?" Chris asked annoyed. "Can't you see I'm about to launch a street racer out of a cannon here?"

"I found this underneath Vert's kart!" Flint yelled as he pulled out Jack's bug. "Someone sabotaged him!"

"Wait, what?" Vert asked confused. "How did that get under my kart?"

"SOmeone must've planted it there." Diane said.

"But the only person near my kart was me and..." Vert said soon gasped and looked at Meg and soon formed a look of anger. "...You!"

Meg soon gulped and looked nervous as Charming gave her a furious looked.

000000000000000000000000000000000

"Uh oh...I'm in big trouble." Meg said very scared.

000000000000000000000000000000000

"Are you kidding me?!" Charming yelled "She got found out THIS SOON?! That worthless little..." He yelled followed by with a bunched of censored beeps.

000000000000000000000000000000000

Yuya, Sasha and Diane gave her a look of disbelief and disappointment.

"You did that? You helped Charming and Jack?!" Sasha asked. "How could you?!"

"Wait...let explain." Meg said. "They said...I was desperate and..." She was struggling to explain.

"Meg...is what Vert said true?" Diane asked. "Did you or did you not put that on Vert's car."

"I...I...I did." Meg said in defeat, leaving Sasha mad at her, Diane disappointed and Yuya was looking away.

000000000000000000000000000000000

"Okay..." Yuya said and soon pulled his collar of his shirt. "...This got akward."

000000000000000000000000000000000

"I've made a horrible mistake." Meg said.

000000000000000000000000000000000

"So much for controlling her alliance from the inside." Charming said irratated. "Whatever, a minor setback. I still have other ways to deal with them...time to get my hands dirty."

000000000000000000000000000000000

"As much as I'd love to see this truth bomb drop continue." Chris said actually entertained. "We have a cannon to fire."

Vert soon got loaded in it.

"Any final words?" Chris asked Vert.

"Let's do this!" Vert said and Chris pressed the button, launching Vert into the night sky. "11 Contestants remain, will Meg be able to reconcile with Diane's alliance? Will Charming find a way to get out of this hole he dug himself into, and what kind of nasty surprises do I have in store for the contestants next? Find out next time here on Total...Drama...Universe!"

And that does it for the first merge challenger for Universe! Things are off to an interesting start as Charming's game plan is slowly coming undone with Meg being revealed to be working with them much sooner than he'd have liked and most of the cast losing trust in her.

So we're down to the Final 11, and we're many steps closer to the finale!

I am open to Merge Challenge ideas, so feel free to DM them or post ideas in reviews for future challenges.
