Hi guys, 1602jaw back here to bring you more fun and pain!
Anyways, review time!
Happy studios: Glad you like how I wrote Stan. He was a lot of fun to write, since American Dad has been a favorite adult cartoon of mine, more so than Family Guy to be honest.
Memeking the Third: Great to treasure the more interaction moments. Those hold a lot of interesting insight on each of the contestants. There's more of that here, although they have to be cautious to not flunk it.
NonedescriptNorbert: That's understandable. It's a good thing I'm taking this new route of just splitting the chapters into parts. And to answer your question of them having fun, nope. None at all. As you will see here.
G-man 2.0: Hopefully that doesn't happen. Although then again, this story can go either way by the characters own decision. It's very unpredictable. Hell, even though I already planned out the structure, I myself don't know what's going to happen next.
TheMasterkat: Glad you liked it so far. Don't worry about not catching up to review it. Take your time doing it. But don't worry about Alucard, I am going to make sure he has some screen time. Although I will say, he does have an interesting arc later down the line.
Okay, review time is done. Let's get to the fun part.
"And we are back to the action!" Chris announced to the camera, this time inside the observing room, with a glass window overlooking the scene below them, "Where our fellow contestants are getting ready for their first challenge! Except for Yamcha! Since he's already out".
"Oh come on!" Yamcha said, "That doesn't count! The game hasn't started!"
"Anyways It's going to be lit! Filled with fun, pain and lots of crying! Lots of them", Chris mentions, holding up a box of popcorn, "I even brought along snacks just for the occasion".
"Hey Chris! You sure these seats are comfortable", Jack Frost asked, moving constantly in his red seat. None of the other interns, except Filbert and Serling, has this problem, "It feels too tight".
"Yeah, I don't think my shell really fits", Filbert added, "I'm afraid it might break".
"And mine is too small for my body", Serling said, "A bit of commendation would be nice, you know. Especially thoughts with solid minerals".
"Will you guys be quiet! I'm trying to make some commentary here!" Chris told them, then resuming back to what he's saying, "Moving on, Let's see how the contestants are doing, before the challenge begins".
The interns weren't the only ones sitting in the observing room along with Chris and Yamcha, there were also the sidekicks for the contestants as well, sitting out from the game.
These include Scratch, Fidget, Dororo, Celebi, and Chomusuke.
"Anyone want to bet the Ghost hunter will go out first?" Scratch asks them, "Because I'm betting all my snacks for him to go first. No sabotage needed.
"Well I hope my big bro, James, and Reg doing okay", Dororo said, "Having endured from him one time and having seen what he did, I really hope they make it through".
"Well I for one, am not concerned for my friend", Fidget told them, "Dust got this! He'll always make it through...well, sort of".
Cutting back to the ground, DJ came back to his team, covered in metal scraps as these scraps being tied by rope, tightly.
"Okay guys, I think I'm ready", DJ said to them.
"DJ, what are you doing?" Mako asked.
"Protecting myself. Duh. What does it look like I'm doing?"
"Dude, I don't think those scrap metals are going to protect you" Wendy asked.
"Yeah I know, but I don't want to get myself blown up, obviously", DJ told them, "I'm doing this for my own safety. In case of a mine bomb trigger".
"Still though, not really sure that's gonna save you entirely", Pumyra told him.
"Yea I mean, doesn't matter if it's some mine bomb or not", Sammy added, "Your still going to get hurt".
"Well I don't care. It's better to have some body parts be safe and other body parts to crisp burn. Still hurts, but not entirely".
0000000000000000000000000000000000000000
"Was it paranoia that made me do that? Yes", DJ confessed, "But anyone would've taken pro-caution like myself. I mean, just think about it. Your forced to participate in a challenge filled with traps that could kill you. Any sane person is going to take great measure to ensure some of their body remain intact"
0000000000000000000000000000000000
"What a ridiculous imbecile. Isn't that right, slave?" Jose asked Lightning, while sitting on his back and grip on his head.
"You got that right, Sha-boss", Lightning replied.
"Okay, there is something wrong with Jose saying that I'm not even going to point out the obvious", Logan pointed out.
"It's Jose. What did you expect?" Ryuko responded.
"Welp! Time for me to bring out the good pack!" Mabel said, pulling out from her collar is two sugar pockets.
"What's that?" Robyn asked, curiously.
"It's my sugar pack. I like to refer to it as my encouragement pack. I would bring out my smile dip pack, but I'm saving those for the more extreme part of challenges. You know what I mean?"
"Uhh I guess so. Don't know what Smile dips are".
She ripped the tip off and poured all of it down her mouth, much to Brendan and Robyn's discomfort, as she threw them to the ground and roared, "Let's do this!"
"Uhhh...yeah! Let's do it", Robyn said, trying to hype herself as full to gain some confidence, "Like what she said".
Suddenly, Brendan felt a hand pressing on his shoulder and looked up to see Frollo.
"I just wanna say that no matter how awful the turmoil will be, I'll be wishing you some good luck boy".
"Uhhh...yeah..that's...that's comforting to hear. thanks?" Brendan responded, weirded out by him even more.
Scott's response was only a sigh and facepalm, being a bit embarrassed by Frollo, another attempt to sway the boy, "Oh god".
"Nami!" Sanji shouted, waving his hand to get her attention, "Just to let you know, I'm always there to shield you from any trouble!"
"That's fine, Sanji", Nami responded, "But I'm totally fine dealing with this myself".
"Can't even get your glaze off of her, even during a challenge", Zoro remarked, "Then again, I'm not really surprised".
"Shut the hell up, Mosshead! I'm trying to be nice here!" Sanji shouted back.
"You guys really need to sort each other out here", Dust told Zoro, "Your not making this easy for our team Captain to deal with".
"Eh, we're trying. Just me and the pervert cook don't want to".
"I hope for living hell you get eliminated first!" Sanji utter, raising his fist at him, with Zoro simply scoffing it off.
Cutting to the other team, some were a bit static with this new challenge. A challenge that may seem by the looks of it. Others, not so much.
"I can't believe we're doing this", Sakazuki crossed his arm, remarked, "Out of all the challenges he picked, he chose a kids game?"
"Hey, better than nothing I guess", Miko said, stretching her arm, "At least it involves something cool for me to do".
"Frankly, I found this to be non-threatening".
"Dude, didn't you hear what Chris said?" Marceline said, still floating, "He mentions loads of karma. Pretty sure this is less of a kids game and more of a death game".
"Even so, I'm still not a big fan of this", Owen told her, "I mean, It legit involves running. It's like the worst challenge I could do. Ignoring the whole mine bomb part".
"Ha! Who cares if this place is filled with traps", Muscle Man scoff, "I can still make it through without stopping".
"Are you sure about that?" Yao asked.
"Yeah man! I got this! Muscle man knows no bounds!"
"You do realize it's called, red light, green light right?" Atsuko told him, "Pretty sure that means you have to stop at some point".
"Not a chance. I'll sprint myself there at the finished line, without her noticing it. Trust me".
"Dude, you are seriously going to die out there", Bob told him, "I'm telling ya".
"No I won't!"
"Just please don't act too cocky", Mahiru told him, "We need to win this".
"Relax. I'm aware of the priority", Muscle Man assured her.
"I really hope so", Mahiru said.
"Hey, just chill a bit", Miko told her, "The dude got the spirit...even if he is a bit brash".
"Woohoo!" Muscle man proceeds to take off his shirt and swing it in the air, "Let's do this!"
000000000000000000000000
"I'm going to make a confession", Mahiru confesses, "Don't know if I confessed before or not, I don't know. Being as Team Captain isn't an easy job to be held highly...I don't like men...that much. Not all of them, mind you. Just some that I found...well, particularly...not okay. It's hard to explain, but with Muscle Man, he makes me feel a bit annoyed and frustrated...a bit. Just a tiny bit. Sometimes it's like trying to balance babysitting and doing your homework, if that's a good comparison. Oh god, what am I even trying to say right now?"
000000000000000000000000000
Mahiru sighs to herself, with Tiff coming to comfort her.
"Hey, try to cheer up. This is just our second day on the show", Tiff said, "Well, first day for you, since your team captain and such".
This seemed to cheer her up a bit, replying back, "Heh, I guess your right. I guess I gotta...try my best".
"Yeah! You got this, Mahiru!"
"Alright losers! The challenge begins in 5...4...3...2...", Chris counts, "1! And begin!"
"Okay everyone!" Roger the doll said, doing some poses, "You know the drill. Green light says go. Red light says stop. Pretty self-explanatory, but whatever. You can probably talk or whisper, but that's all. Don't break composure or else I'm going to make sure your bones go from solid to completely nothing. I'm looking at you, Stanly. You and that enormous, tumor of a chin".
Stan responded with a scowl, telling himself, "My chin isn't a tumor. My chin is a symbol of my pride in America and how sexy it looks".
"This is certainly going to be fun", Paradox remarked, cracking his fingers, "Isn't that right, my fellow contestants?"
"Yeah, blown up, electrocuted, and almost falling down in a pit of snakes", Ryuko sarcastically replied, "Those definitely sound like a whole lot of fun".
"Oh come now, cheer up. It's just a game".
"Don't bother trying to make her feel better", Satsuki told him, "She needs to keep her priority straight".
Ryuko retorted back, "I'm going straighten your a** up if you-"
"Ryuko, not the right time to tell her off", Senketsu told her.
"Anyways, Green Light!" Roger announced.
Once Roger tab on his tablet, the sound of a blow horn is heard.
The contestants proceeded. Some ran, some walked quickly, while others like Packard simply nonchalantly walked.
"Hahahaha! This is going to be easy!" Muscle man stated to himself, running a bit further away from them.
"Yeah! I know!" Zoe drake agrees, "I don't see how this is difficult!"
"Red light!"
Everyone stopped except for Muscle Man, as he continued to move forward.
"Muscle man! What are you doing!?" Mahiru shouted.
"What does it look like I'm doing? Making to the finished line like I sa-"
Before Muscle Man could even finish, the button is pressed on the tablet, which triggers a mine bomb to be exploded, causing him to be flung in the air across them while emitting a whaling scream.
Some of the contestants were shocked as he flew across from them.
While some were stunned, Chris chuckled to himself, remarking, "Whoa! Looks like our first loser to go out is the muscle of the group. Hey Muscle Man! Say 'This sucks' if you're okay!"
Muscle Man, laying face on the dirt ground, only responded in a groan.
"Eh, close enough".
00000000000000000000000000
"See what I meant? So moving on, this was a bit of a dangerous challenge", Mahiru confesses, "I'm not sure if this is how the original contestants dealt with it, but Chris seems to go real hard on these types of challenges' '.
000000000000000000000000000000
"Uhhh Chris, I don't think he's the only one running straight ahead for the finish line", Scott pointed out.
"Huh? What do you mean?" Chris asked, but his question was soon answered as he glanced and took notice of something.
Larfleeze is literally flying his way through, with the use of his ring.
He passed through explosions, he knocked down any contraptions like a bat swinging at him or a boulder falling down on him.
Eventually, he would reach the finish line and react excited fully, dancing around and proclaiming, "Yes! Yes! I won! I won!"
"Not quite".
"Huh?"
Larfleeze turned and saw Alucard, appearing out of nowhere, much to Roger startle.
"It would appear I came in first".
"Nah, you guys are morons", Bluehilda appeared, floating above them, upside down, "It was I that made it here first. You guys didn't notice because I'm invincible".
"Not fair! You two cheated!"
"Actually, you three cheated because your out! Due to the usage of power and passing through during red light", Chris mentioned.
"Awww damn it!" Larfleeze exclaimed, with Alucard just shrugging.
"Aww this sucks", Bluehilda utters.
00000000000000000000000000
"The host never mentioned anything about not using our power", Alucard confessed, "Although frankly, I think I'm lucky I'm out of the game".
000000000000000000000000
Alucard entered the observing room. Before he could reach one of the seats, Larfleeze entered the room quickly and snatched his seat before he could get it, declaring, "Mine! Mine! This is my seat!"
"Alright, sheesh", Alucard responded, "No need to get aggressive".
"Yes...yes!" Larfleeze then took notice of Scratch eating a bag of chips, "Also! This is mine!"
He proceeds to use his ring to snatch the chips away from Scratch, which angers him, "Hey! That's mine chip, pal! The snack booth is at the back, you know!"
"Mine now!" Larfleeze shouted, chomping down some chips like a wild animal.
"Rude".
"Tell me about it", Alucard said, having found another chair and sitting down in it.
Bluehilda appears, still floating above her seat and eating a bag of chips.
Back to the running ground, Mahiru attempted to try to be serious about this, informing her team about it,"Okay teams! Let's try not to get too cocky or distracted or use any of our powers. We need to win this! Okay?"
"As long as Aqua doesn't whine about this being too long, I think we'll be good", Megumin commented.
"Hey! You watch your mouth!" Aqua shouted.
"Guys! This is serious!" Mahiru told them.
"You know, I'm feeling a bit bad for her", Wendy whispered next to Ryuko, Mako and Mabel.
"Can't blame ya", Ryuko agrees with her, "I'm not even on her team, yet I can somewhat feel her struggle".
"Yeah, this girl has a lot of responsibility under her hand", Mabel said, "That's for sure".
"Hey! Focus!" Jose shouted at them, "We do not want to feel any pity toward our enemies!"
"Green Light!"
Everyone proceeded forward, and as they kept proceeding, Sanji was a bit ahead of Zoro, leading to him taunting him, "Hey Mosshead! Look at me! I'm further ahead of you!"
"Because you aren't distracted too easily by the sight of a girl? Because that seems about right"
"Yeah, so?"
"Sooooo! I'm likely going to win it for the team! At least I have a sense of direction, unlike you!"
"Pff yeah right. You can't even keep your focus right, either. Surprise it isn't a lady this time around".
"Red Light!"
"Oh yeah!" Sanji stopped, but didn't remain his composure as he was shouting at a pause Zoro, "Your-!"
Before he could even finish, karma struck him.
Instead of a mine bomb, a cannon appeared from further away from him at the finished line, which shot out a ball.
A ball that accelerated in speed that it struck his groin.
Some were shocked by the sight of it, as Sanji can only muster a sound of squealing, as it sent him up against the back of the wall.
"Ooooooh dang! That's gotta hurt!" Chris remarked.
Sanji collapses to the ground, clenching his crotch from the impact. He uttered in a small, squealing voice, "Owie!"
00000000000000000000000000000
"Geez, I kinda feel a little bad for him", Zoro confessed, "I mean, I'm glad that didn't happen to me, but still".
00000000000000000000000000000000
"Sanji! Are you okay back there?!" Nami shouted for his well being.
"Noooo...", Sanji utter.
"What the hell, Zoro?!" Nami scolded him, "You could've warned him! or, I don't know, not talk to him!"
"What? I can't help it!" Zoro replied, "Besides, he's the one that invokes it!"
"Well you shouldn't have tried talking to him!"
"Whatever. At least he's fine".
"No I'm not. Stop lying, Mosshead", Sanji responded, still in his squealing voice.
"Hey! Stop caring for our enemy!" Jose told her, "We are not here to see if our enemies are fine! We are here to win!"
"Uhhh hello! You do realize Zoro and Sanji are my friends! I don't need you to tell me what not to do!" Nami told him back.
"Yeah, you tell her!" Pumyra said to her, "...girl!"
"Huh, girl?"
00000000000000000000000000000
"What? This was my attempt to blend in. Granted, a bit excessive, I know", Pumyra confessed, being embarrassed by what she said, "Should've just kept my mouth shut back there. Gosh, I feel disgusted from saying that. Why did I have to add 'girl' in the last sentence?"
0000000000000000000000000000
"Just because Zoro and Sanji aren't within the same team as I am", Nami confesses, "Doesn't mean I should stop caring for them".
00000000000000000000000
Murderface stood still there, waiting for the green signal to be heard.
Then all of a sudden from behind him, 2D began speaking to him.
"Hey...hey...hey".
"WHAT?!"
"I feel itchy".
"Yeah, so?"
"Nothing", 2D told him, "I just want to let you know".
"Why you little-"
"I mean, I was going to ask if you could give me a tiny scratch, but then I realize we are in the middle of a challenge so my bad".
Murderface grumble to himself, "What a f*cking nuisance. It's as if he is trying to annoy me, intentionally. Why I oughta-"
Then he thought to himself, "Wait, This is it. My big opportunity. Part of my plan of getting rid of this douche no matter what".
0000000000000000000000000000
"Okay, so that might cause a bit of a problem for my team", Murderface confessed, "But truth be told, it would've been worth it for me".
00000000000000000000000000
"Green light!"
"Now my chance!" Murderface said in his head, as he began to shout and kicked the dirt ground, "Sand blindness!"
"Huh?"
The dust particles were kick hard enough to be splatter in 2D face, startling him, "Aaaaah cr*p! My eyes!"
Murderface chuckle, running away to the finished line, "See ya! Sucker!"
"Murderface!" Mahiru yelled at him.
"2D! Are you okay?" Lammy asked him.
"Red light!" Roger announced, causing Lammy to stand still in her exact position, as 2D finished wiping his eye off.
"Wait...totally forgot", 2D responded, in a deadpan expression, "I'm already blind".
Another explosion happened, which led Murderface to be flung in the air as he screamed.
As for 2D, a bucket of water fell on him, with the bucket landing in his head, "Although I can taste a bit of saltwater in here".
"Oh god, keep calm, keep calm", Mahiru told herself here, "It's just a small feud. Nothing more. I can still do this".
0000000000000000000000000000000000000000
"Okay, that was a bit of a jerk move that Murderface did back there", Lammy confesses, "I don't know much about him, but having spent a few days here, he doesn't appear to be such a nice guy. I mean granted, I probably should've known that, considering he made a comment about...using his groin to play the guitar. Ugh, ew".
0000000000000000000000000000000000000000000
Back in the observing room, an ice pack is placed on Sanji's groin, healing it.
"Your alright?" Phantasma asked him.
"Yeah, I'm fine", Sanji replied, "Thanks for the ice pack, ghost girl. Really appreciate it".
She giggled, "You're welcome. If you need anything, just get me".
"Better with you than her", Sanji said, pointing at Chilla, "No offense".
"None at all", Chilla hissed at him.
While 2D entered the room, still wearing the bucket that covered his entire head, Murderface quickly barged in and took what he presumed was his seat, "Mine! Mine! I found it first! This is my seat, not yours".
"Eh, that's okay", 2D said, sitting on the floor, "Don't even need a seat".
"You do realize there's like other more seats in this room, right?" Serling mentioned it to him.
"I know. Sitting on the floor isn't that bad if you ask me".
"Hey Murderface, what's your beef with him?" Sanji asked him, "Got a problem with blind people or what?"
"You shut your mouth! It's none of your business", Murderface said to him, crossing his arm and taking notice of a shrimp cocktail in the cup holder, "Ooooh, shrimps. Don't mind if I do".
Before he could take one, Larfleeze snatches all of it from him, claiming it at him with a pile of snacks right next to him and underneath the chair he is floating above, "Those mine as well!"
"Green light!"
"Faster! Lightning! Faster!" Jose shouted and pointed, as Lightning kept on sprinting.
"Ugh, even when he's yelling toward someone", Wendy remarked to Mabel, "It still gets on my nerve".
"Yeah, totally agree with you on that one", Mabel told her, "That's why I always try to steer my head to something more positive".
"Is it one of those songs from that dream world you thought of?"
"Ugh no! No. Definitely no! Totally got rid of that out of my head".
"Red light!"
Wendy stopped on time, but Mabel didn't, triggering a glass cube trapping her inside.
"Uh oh", Mabel utter.
"Uh yes! Hit the music!" Chris said.
Even though Wendy and some of the others couldn't hear it, it took Mabel a few seconds for the music to be turned out.
The music, in question, is unknown to anyone. But inside the cube, Mabel can hear it. And her reactions were dire, horrified, and completely appalled. She began to scream and claw the glass walls like a feral creature, as if wanting to get out.
She even began banging, which didn't help and began running around, until she leaned against the glass wall, screaming, and clenching her ears.
Her scream isn't heard, but the outside contestants were concerned and terribly stunned by what's going inside.
000000000000000000000000000000
Mabel is curled up, laying on the seat as she shudders to herself, telling herself, "Think of good thoughts. Think of good thoughts".
0000000000000000000000000000
"Traumatizing a child", Serling scolds Chris, "Do you have any shame?"
"Don't worry, I chose something kid friendly", Chris replied, "Kinda".
Mabel enters the observing room, looking dischuffle and traumatized.
She sat next to Sanji, with Sanji holding a root beer bottle to which he handed it to her, "Want some?"
She complied, took it, and then collapsed to the ground.
Cutting back to the field, Ray is trying his best to remain still. Sweating intensely and trying to keep his pose in balance.
"Hey scrawny pansy! Your pants are loose", Shoreleave taunt, "Better tighten that up before your little dingy is out".
"Will you just shut up!"
"Oooooh too much of a pussy to do it?"
"It's not that. I am trying not to get hurt here! I mean seriously, isn't it obvious?!"
"Sure it's obvious. In fact, look at me. I'm a bit further away from you. Got the speed of a cheetah. Super fast from your lame skill from Isis".
"I am seriously going to grab the dirt from the ground and shove it up your a**!"
"Go ahead. I'll enjoy it".
"Shoreleave! Please", Mahiru told him, "Can you not mess with our competitive here?"
"Can't help it, lady. It's called sportsmanship".
"Sportsmanship doesn't even involve picking on someone!" Ray retorted.
"Green light!"
"Yes it does, sissy", Shoreleave told him, as everyone proceeded forward, "Also, your shoe is untied".
"Ha! As if I'm going to believe that", Ray told him as Shoreleave headed out.
As Ray begins to move and run, he suddenly trips, during which...
"Red light!"
And as Ray got up slowly, a trap was triggered from the ground. A punching glove sprung out, punching him in the air and knocking him out.
"Oooooh...warn him", Shoreleave remarked.
0000000000000000000000000
"Okay, I'll admit", Ray confessed, "That was totally my fault on my part. Still, I'm not going to admit it to him".
000000000000000000000000000
Mahiru sighs to herself, telling herself, "Okay, perhaps there may be some problems within my teams that need fixing, but maybe it isn't too bad. I mean, it's just rivalries that's the problem".
Right on cue, Jinx stumbled a bit and fell. Realizing this and seeing the great opportunity to come out of this, she pretended to cry out, "Oh no! I fell and moved! I hope nothing bad happens to me".
Roger the doll is seen relaxing on a flip chair, wearing sunglasses and listening to music with ear plugs. He is taking a break and isn't really acknowledging it.
This made Jinx frown a bit, until she tried once more, "I said! I hope nothing terribly bad happens! Like, a random bomb explosion!"
After a few seconds, Roger heard her shouts and took notice, sighing to herself, "Alright".
He pressed the button, Jinx waited for some explosion to happen and...a contraption of a pie sprung out, hitting her in the face.
Much to her disappointment, "Aww man".
0000000000000000000000000
"What? I can't help it", Jinx confesses, "If there's a challenge that involves bombs and explosions, then I have to be there to witness it. Nothing wrong about living the moment".
000000000000000000000000000
"Alright, ummm...another problematic factor to keep in mind", Mahiru thought to herself, "Crud, I know I'm not good at judging characters, but why did I get the feeling Jinx did that on purpose?"
Cutting to somewhere else, Aqua was a bit further ahead, with Megumin being behind her.
She glanced at little and thought to herself of a way to screw her over, "Alright Aqua, it would appear I'm ahead of her. Sweet! But I gotta make sure she doesn't try anything stupid. So I got to think ahead...heh, think ahead. Clever me".
"Oh god, it's been over an hour?" Roger checked the time, "Sheesh, I really need to put in a timer on this. Surprisingly the host hasn't called me out yet. Anyways, Green Light!"
As the contestants moved forward, Megumin ran.
She ran blindly, focusing on the finished line and ignoring Aqua even if she's by her side and a bit further away.
Eventually she did manage to get nearer next to her for Roger to announce, "Red Light!"
Megumin stopped right on time, then she noticed it.
Aqua's left leg is out, placing it right in front of her in a position where Megumin could likely trip.
Megumin was stunned by this, as well as obviously catching on to Aqua's intention and being quite angry by it, with Aqua chuckling her thoughts out of spite.
"Heheheh, perfect, arrow proof idea from a god like myself", Aqua thought, "So long, explosive b*tch".
"Oh she did not just do that", Megumin thought to herself, "Fine. That son of a useless b*tch. Damn it, There's no time for me to avoid it, so if I'm going down I'm bringing her down with me".
"Wait, did I just hear what she's thinking about?" Aqua thought, confused, "In fact, how am I doing this?!"
"Green light!"
Megumin trip and was ready to fall. Not before she grabbed Aqua hair down, as the both of them fell face down on the ground hard as everyone else passed by, leaving those two behind.
Mahiru caught notice and shouted, "What the? Aqua! Megumin! What are you two doing?!"
"Oh nothing", Megumin got up, placing the blame on Aqua quickly as the diva slowly got up, "Just trying to help a teammate out!"
"Uhh no you weren't! You were trying to pull me down with me, were you?!"
Megumin responded by her tongue sticking out at her, much to Aqua disliking as she fumbled at her.
"Girls, can you please calm down", Mahiru told them, as Aqua began to tackle her, creating a dust scuffle.
"Red light!"
While Mahiru stood still, the dust cleared up showing Aqua pinning Megumin down, as Megumin tried to struggle to get up.
"I am seriously going to kill you!" Aqua shouted at her.
"Not before I kill you first! Hope you like getting reincarnated as horse sh*t!"
"Oh, why you-!"
Before Aqua could finish, a flamethrower sprung out and sprayed flames at her, causing Aqua to scream and run off, letting Megumin go.
This shocked and horrified Mahiru, but Megumin didn't seem fazed off.
In fact, she seemed pleased by it as she called her out once she stood up and pointed at her, "Ha! Serve you right! B-"
She too suffered some karma, as a random sheep dropped down on her, much to her pain, "Ow. That's gotta hurt".
All a while Aqua ran around, until she fell and rolled to get rid of the flames, all while still screaming.
0000000000000000000000000000000
"Okay, that was extreme", Mahiru confessed, "Both in Chris' case, and both those two case. Seriously, why can most of them just be friendly rivalry, instead of...this?!"
00000000000000000000000000000000
"I didn't mind that", Aqua confessed, a bit burned up from what happened, "I didn't mind it at all. I was enduring it. Didn't hurt at all. I'm sure that sheep must've given her the worst pain if you ask me".
000000000000000000000000000000000000000
Robyn stood there, waiting for the green light to be heard.
Brendan was right by her, as he began to speak, "So uhhh...ummm...are you nervous?"
"Huh?"
"I mean, are you...uhhhh...doing good".
"What?"
"Uhhh..."
"Oooooh, am I sensing a love triangle going on?", Ella remarked.
"What?" Both Brendan and Robyn turned at her, confused and shocked.
"You don't need to be shy, Brendan", Ella said, "I understand what your were trying to confess".
"No, no, it's not like that", Brendan stated.
"Green light!"
"Please. Let me sing to give you a bit of encouragement".
"I-I don't think that's needed-"
While she clears her throat and is ready to sing, she is interrupted by an explosion, causing her to be flung in the air.
This surprised everyone, including Roger the Doll, "Wait a second, I didn't say Red Light".
At the observing room, Chris hid behind a tablet and tried to shrug it off, "Uhhh that...must've been a malfunction. Ignore that".
"So wait, you were trying to confess your feelings toward me?" Robyn asked him.
"No! No, that's not what I was trying to say".
"Oh, I know what your trying to say", Frollo stepped in, "Keeping such lustful desire in one heart. And trying to convey that love in any mannerism is quite a difficult task, I know".
"Frollo! What are you doing?!" Scott approached him, "You can't just approach it like this?!"
"Well I'm sorry. I am trying to do what you're trying to tell me".
"Wait, what?" Brendan asked, being confused, as Robyn rolled her eyes and ran off.
"Uhhh...well...", Scott replied, realizing he's breaking their cover, "You see I meant to say...mind your own business!"
0000000000000000000000000000000
"Can you really blame me for taking that rat advice", Frollo confessed, "Honestly, I was trying to convey a sense of relatability to the boy. Add a few touches on my own. Alas, that rodent advice of me conveying it makes me feel like a fool".
000000000000000000000000000000000000
"I gotta control myself whenever I speak with Frollo out in public", Scott confesses, "I'm fully aware of the oldies and some of the newbies may catch on what we are doing. I gotta choose a perfect time and inform him on when to carry out my idea. Otherwise, we screwed up. And I don't want that".
000000000000000000000000000000
"That was...weird", Brendan remarked, running alongside Ryuko.
Ryuko, noticing him and feeling a bit worried, asked, "Umm what was that?"
"With Frollo? I have no idea. All I know is I should probably keep an eye out for him".
"No, I mean what were you trying to do back there with Robyn?"
"Huh? Oh, her", Brendan replied, "Well, I was trying to relay to her the warning we discussed earlier".
"And you try to do it in an affectionate way?"
"What? No, that's not what I was going for. I'm...having a hard time trying to tell her about this. Can you help me?"
"Look I love to, but I'm already dealing with Satsuki, and she can't get her a** off her own pride".
"Red light!"
They quickly stopped, pausing in the position.
As they did so, a fly began to buzz around near Brendan. Flying around and around, until it landed on his nose.
It got his attention, then two more flies appeared and landed on his nose again.
Then another...and another...and a few more.
"Sh*t", Ryuko mutters, "Brendan, are you okay?"
"I'm doing fine...my nose is beginning to feel itchy", Brendan replied, trying to ignore it until he gets an irking feeling in his nose.
He begins to sneeze, much to Ryuko's concern and distress.
Not wanting to stand by and let Brendan suffer under Chris karma, Ryuko quickly moved from her position and lifted her finger up his nose, preventing him from losing his balance and sneezing as the fly flew away.
This brings relief to the both of them, until suddenly a metal snapping sound is heard. And the pain Ryuko is felt, revealed to be a bear trap that sprung out and caught her.
Mako quickly took notice and was in shock, even Wendy, Robyn, and other contestants were stunned by this.
As for Satsuki, she was a little stunned too.
"Ryuko!" Mako breaks her position, leading to a wooden hammer to trigger from the ceiling, swinging and hitting her away, causing her to hit the wall real hard.
Ryuko didn't say a word. She stood up, pat Brendan on the head, still had the bear trap clinging on her leg and walked away.
She even grabbed an unconscious Mako and dragged her into the observing room.
After a few seconds, she quickly broke down, collapsed to the ground and screamed, slamming her fist on the floor.
"Hmm...I knew I shouldn't do this, but...", Chris said, pulling out his phone and snapping a photo, while grinning.
0000000000000000000000000000000000000000
"Don't worry. I dealt with far worse things than this", Ryuko groan, cresting her leg and clenching her fist in anger, "That f*cking host".
00000000000000000000000000000000000000
Satsuki's only response to this is by a scoff, "Sister".
"Hey, Ryuko was trying to help out our friend back there, you know", Wendy told her.
"And I see that as her mistake", Satsuki stated, "Helping someone like that peasant boy isn't necessary. It no wonder she's falling behind".
"Why not you back off from her and Brendan".
"Or what? You willing to dare strike me?" Satsuki asked, sarcastically, "Please, you aren't worthy enough to fight me with your awful attire.
Wendy scowl, as even though she despises Jose the most, Satsuki would be her second least favorite from the new cast.
"Umm maybe you should calm down a bit, Wendy", Brendan told her.
"Little dude, I can't help it", Wendy told him, "I feel like I really want to pound her right now".
"Well, usually I never endorse violence, but perhaps it not the right time to begin an outburst here in the middle of a challenge".
Wendy sigh, "Alright, fine. I'll be cool. But I'm not over with her, you know".
Right after that happened, Sammy was next to JFK from her distance, much to her annoyance.
Sammy flinched by that sight.
JFK, on the other hand, sees this and has a great idea, "Hey there, Sammy".
"Oh god, no".
"So uhh..you like cool tricks from me", JFK asked, "Because I got plenty".
"Dear lord, can he please just shut up", Sammy thought to herself.
"Want to see what kind of cool trick I could perform?"
"Please JFK, will you leave me alone, already", Sammy told him, "I already have a boyfriend".
"Er right. But can your boyfriend do something like this!"
"Are you seriously going to risk your own life for this?"
"Yep!"
JFK did the banana split. But instead of a clean split, it was a cracking split, which made Sammy flinch by the sight of it.
Even some of the contestants and Roger were irk by it, especially Roger, "Ouch, holy cr*p. Don't know if I should lay waste on that guy or not. That's gotta hurt".
"Owww...see?", JFK said, tearing up, "Pretty neat, huh?"
Sammy's response was a simple roll to the eye.
00000000000000000000000000000
"Okay, not a great way to gain her affection", JFK said, still in his banana split pose, "Perhaps I should try a different tactic".
0000000000000000000000000000
"Sheesh, on second thought", Eggman remarked, "Maybe I should reconsider picking him for our alliance".
"Alliance what now?"
"Ah!" Eggman was startled by seeing Hiigari next to him, although it didn't make him broke his composure as he remained still.
Hiigari simply smirks, "Sorry for scaring ya. What were you saying again?"
"Uhhh...well...I was remarking how", Eggman replied, "How stupid that moron is. I mean, seriously. That's his way of trying to flirt with someone. Pathetic. I can do better. I'm a ladys man after all".
"Come on, don't lie to me. I know what your up to".
"Huh?"
"You were considering adding him to your alliance", Hiigari mentioned, quietly to him, "Is that correct?"
"Ummm...yeah", Eggman replied, "I mean, I guess it's not surprising, considering you have the ability of reading minds".
"Yea, you got that right".
"So what do you want?"
"Well I want to join your little group".
"You? Want to join our alliance?"
"Yep", Hiigari replied, "I mean, I could be very useful to your alliance. Think about it. Like you mention, I have the ability to read minds. Right now, you probably conflicted about this".
0000000000000000000000000
"On one hand, I'm a bit hesitant", Eggman confessed, "But on the other hand, she seems pretty on board with it. I mean, if I have to pick someone who's willing to be useful for once, I might as well pick her, I guess. Don't get me wrong, picking a moron would be a good choice. But it is a bit refreshing to have someone with some common sense that isn't a bumbling fool".
0000000000000000000000000000000
"Green light!"
Hades was trying to think of how to convince Sakazuki to join his side, even during a challenge.
While he did so, Eggman ran next to him and told him, "Uhhh hey Hades, we got an interesting situation here".
"What is it?"
"You recall me wanting that jock moron to join our alliance. Well, I thought about it and realized that was a dumb idea".
"Oh, tell me about it. I mean, no offense but that has to be one of the stupidest decisions you thought of. I was fine with it, until I saw that travesty display here"
"I know. Probably should've thought about it more clearly, but I think we have another interesting person we could add to our group.
"Really? Who is it?
"You know that pink, haired girl?"
"The dinosaur one or the brightly colored one?"
"The brightly colored one", Eggman explained, "Yeah, she apparently knows of our alliance thing and wanted to join us".
"Wait? What? You told her our alliance?"
"No, she knew of our alliance because she can read our minds".
"Hades sighs to himself, "Of course. Welp, we do need someone who can read minds so I see why not. I mean, gotta need to have the most reliable contestants on our side, right?"
"Yep", Eggman then asked, "So how's that whole Sakazuki business going?"
"Pretty smoothly…..a little, hopefully".
"Red light!"
As everyone stopped, in the observing room Chris was getting a bit bored by what's been going on so far. At first, he was enjoying it...but then he got quickly tired from seeing them walking or running, and then stopping. And hoping if one or two more screw up and get themselves eliminated.
Needless to say, he needed something to make this game more exciting, "Ugh this is taking forever. The distance between the starting line and finish line is so long, I probably should've shortened it. Gotta make this somehow more fun and faster so we could get to the next part".
"Why not throw a few obstacles at them while they stop", Alluro suggested, eating some popcorn, "Let them break their composure by annoying them as possible".
"That sounds like a neat idea".
"That sounds a bit redundant if you ask me", Serling comment.
"Come on, a little messing around couldn't hurt", Chris said to him, "Except for them, though".
He then turned the microphone on and announced, "Contestants! I got some good news! And even more good news!"
"Your finally growing some pity over us?" Mahiru asked.
"Nope! I decided to change it up a bit here", Chris confessed, "I realize this is kinda dragging. So I added a special feature, in case this happens".
"Oh god, do not tell me", Ryuko said, "Do not f*cking tell me".
"Love the excitement there, Ryuko", Chris pulled out his tablet again and pressed a button.
Which causes the platform in front of them to flip and change.
Instead of a dirt ground, it was an ice ground.
This causes some to be baffled, some to be furious, and others...not caring the slightest like Sakazuki and Alastor.
Eddy: "Oh come on!"
Shoreleave: "This is some bullsh*t!"
Wendy: "Not surprising. Not surprising at all, Chris!"
Jay Sherman: "Okay, that's even more difficult. Like legit, more difficult".
"Thank you", Chris continues, "So the good news is you guys need to try not to slip or slide. Try to remain still and stop before the red light. If you do, you get karma hit at ya! Pretty much the same, only much harder! Great, isn't it?"
"NO!" Everyone responded.
"Good to hear. Another good news...music!" Chris uses his tablet again to play some music to fit the theme.
The music he chose is Franz Liszt, Hungarian Rhapsody No. 2.
"This is going to be f*cking painful. I just knew it", Logan said.
"Tch, a hard challenge is nothing to me", Satsuki said, "What matters is winning".
"Yeah! I'm not scared! Right Slave?" Jose asked Lightning.
"Yes boss! I'm not scared either!" Lightning responding, ignoring the obvious, shuddering legs notice by everyone.
( Montage time ).
"Green light!"
Once the contestants reached the ice zone, Conker was the first to go.
"Red light!"
While attempting to stop, he slid which led to a contraption to sprung out.
A taser, shocking him intensely.
"Green light!"
Bolo was running, until he slipped and fell, sliding in the process.
"Red light!"
He is then crushed by the platform as it sprung out and just flatten him onto the ice ground behind him, flattening him.
"Green light!"
Yuka tries to make her way through, but is pushed aside by Eva, laughing to herself.
"Red light!"
She didn't stop. She was too focused, laughing at Yuka, blindly.
This led to her being shot by a laser. It didn't kill her, but left her on the ground, severely burned up as she coughed out a puff of smoke.
"Green light!"
Lindsey was at first enjoying this new challenge, as she skated herself through like a ballerina.
She even did a spin and pose.
"Red light!"
Right before she gets a giant frying pan slamming at her, "Ow!"
"Green light!"
Yao was getting a bit exhausted from running, slumping on the ice floor and sliding a little.
"Red light!"
The floor he is on then sends him crushed against the ceiling above, until it sends him back down, all cripple up.
"Green light!"
Like Lindsey, Charlotte seems to enjoy this new floor. Sliding away and singing to herself.
"Red light!"
A flock of feathers were thrown at Charlotte, much to her surprise, delight and curiosity.
Donald Love, while trying to remain in his position, saw a meat sprung out from the ground.
Willing not to resist, he moved an inch and reach his hand to grabbed the meat, only for the ground below him to lit up flames, burning him.
"Green light!"
Bob, in an attempt to avoid being seen moving, hides himself in a random bush he somehow got.
"Red light!"
Unfortunately for him, not even that trick could save his Bobby a**. When trying to move slowly to not be seen, a random, rabies squirrel fell down on him, causing him to panic and run around as he is being attacked..
"Green light!"
Eddy ran as fast as he could, reaching his arms out as if to reach the finish line.
"Red light!"
Unfortunately for him, a giant fly swatter struck him, flatten him.
Much to Celebi dismay, covering her eyes by the sight of it.
"Green light!"
Toiletnator ran but got tripped from one of his toilet paper, causing him to fall.
Snidley Whiplash was next.
"Red light!"
He bumped into him, both then falling down from a trap floor that opened up, sending them falling down until they finally landed on a hard, concrete ground.
Scott ran quickly, eventually slipping by accident like some did.
"Red light!"
He slowly stopped, but it didn't matter as he quickly shielded himself from a gun that sprung out, readying to shoot him.
"Please! Don't kill me!" Scott begged.
The trigger is pressed and...a flag with the word "bang" is on it, much to his confusion, "Huh?"
Even Chris was confused, "Umm...where's the blast? There's supposed to be a huge blast coming out of it and striking him".
Unknown to him, Courtney quickly returned back to her seat, pretending to whistle herself and looked away.
000000000000000000000000000000
"If Scott isn't willing to help me", Courtney confesses, "Then I'll have to help him by forced then. By either making the punishment less painful or turning the challenge favorable to him. Either way, I have to do it for him. To make up for what I did last season".
0000000000000000000000000000000000
The cast were now a bit closer to the finished line. Not too close, but a bit further away for them to finally see it.
Roger the doll was eating some chips, waiting for the right time to say green light, until he got a phone ringing in his shirt pocket, "Ugh, what is it now?"
He pulled it out and answered, causing him to face away from the cast for a moment, "Hello? Oh hi there, surprise to hear you for a long while".
Stan, seeing this as a good opportunity to ace this round, whispers to Brick next to him, "Brick, I got a splendid idea. I need you to be a distraction".
"A distraction?"
"Yes, I'm going to sneak my way over there without him noticing. You'll move and when he catches you, I will make it there in no time".
"But Stan, wouldn't that still be a foul? I mean the rule states we can't move. If we move, we are out. Doesn't matter if we avoid karma".
"Brick listen, this is part of my official plan", Stan explained, "If I do something like this, I'll place the blame on Camera girl here to seem like she's the one that gave me the idea, not me".
"Oooooooh...that still doesn't make any sense".
"Look, they'll take the bait. As well as see how skillful I am with my swift speed that could be in handy".
"That sounds a bit like lying".
"Well I mean...okay, I'll admit I'm not the fastest person in the world, but I am clever".
"Still, I'm not getting it".
"Look, just do what I say and keep your mouth shut. If Mahiru tries to get some answer out of you, you know what to do".
Brick sighs, "Alright sir, I will do as you command".
"Great! Now go!"
Brick did a little skate as he slid himself through, sweating intensely.
Mahiru noticed, some of the other contestants noticed, and even Chris and the interns took notice through the observing room.
"Umm Brick is moving, guys", Miko pointed out.
"Brick, what are you doing?" Mahiru asked, concerned.
"Uhh...I don't know. I'm just..sliding for some reason", Brick replied, laughing awkwardly.
"Is our Doll even taking notice of it?" Chilla asked Chris.
As Chris pulled out his tablet and selected the speaker, "Dude! Doll! One of the losers is moving! Mind taking care of it?"
Roger the doll was to focus on his phone call, rather than taking notice of Brick moving, "What are you talking about? I'm not going there. I was banned from there years ago, you think they are going to welcome me back? No, no, you're right. I mean, you've been gone for like over 20 years so can't blame- wait hold up, I think I spotted someone sneaking through".
Roger didn't take notice of Brick. Instead, he took notice of Stan using Bob's unconscious body to sneak his way through, as he was getting a bit closer to the finish line.
"Uhhhh...this isn't...this isn't how I imagine it going down", Stan replied, awkwardly.
"Precisely", Roger replied, with a deadpan expression. Pressing the button, which sprung out a bald eagle to start pecking and attacking Stan with its beak and claws.
"Ah! Ahhh! No! Eagle! I'm your friend! I'm patriotic!" Stan screamed, "Aaaaaaah!"
"Oh god, Stan!" Brick said in his thoughts, horrified by the sight of it, "Well at least that isn't me getting peck. Maybe I should save him".
"Don't think I notice you!" Roger shouted, pressing the button, which triggered a remote control steam roller to land on him.
Crushing him, as the steam roller began to move back and forth, all while he's screeching in pain.
000000000000000000000000000000000000
"Okay, so Stan can get a bit weird with his plans", Brick confesses, with his entire body being covered in bandages, "But I'm perfectly fine with it. Totally fine. I mean, my bones are a bit crushed, but at least I'm fully okay".
0000000000000000000000000000000000000000
"What was Stan thought process back there?" Mahiru said, "Did he think using Bob's unconscious body would be a good shield material? Furthermore, why did he think that was a good idea?!"
000000000000000000000000000000000
"Ugh, can't even get a moment for myself here", Roger said, as he resumed the call, "Anyways, where was I?"
"Dang it, Stan", Mahiru sighs to herself, "I have no idea what he was planning on doing, but he better have a good excuse for it".
"Eh, I don't know much about that lad", Silver commented, "But if you ask me, he seems to think whatever goes in his head,he'll see it as a good idea. I tell ya what".
"That's what I'm concerned about", She said, "I know they have quirks, but trying to maintain it may seem hard".
"Like the little one said, you got to relax", Silver said.
"Umm excuse me, who's the little one here?" Tiff asked him, right next to him.
Moving to Sakazuki who was distance away from them, his reaction to what's been transpire isnt pleasing to him.
"What a moron", Sakazuki remarked.
"Heh, tell me about it", Hades agrees with him, "Seems to me Team Captain here doesn't seem to know how to handle their own guys, right?"
"I'm referring to that Stan guy".
"Stan, Camera Girl, whatever", Hades continue, "The point is-"
"Green light!"
Everyone resumes back to running, with Hades still trying to talk with him even though Sakazuki doesn't have time to chat with him at this moment, "The point is all of that could've been avoided if she had better social skills. Instead, she seems more focused on winning this game".
"Aren't you?"
"Please. At least I'm aware of what Stan is planning on doing. I have better hearing than anyone else around here. I mean, I'm a god for crying out loud".
"If you think this will convince me to join your alliance, you're out of luck".
"Red light!"
Sakazuki took a step by accident, which resulted in a giant boulder to be launched from Roger's side by a catapult.
Everyone stood as they stared where the boulder would be striking.
Sakazuki stands there, unfazed as he stares up to see it.
The boulder flying at him.
"Tch, is that it? A rock", Sakazuki said, as the right of his arm soon puffed into melting, red magma. Steaming and creature black coal flowing down, as the boulder gets nearer and nearer to him, "I'm dealing with enough problems already. No damn rock is going to ruin my day! GREAT ERUPTION!"
He lifted his right arm out, his fist now swallowing lava. Flames emitted from it and bubbles of lava began to pump out as now his hand is formed into the clenching fist itself.
The boulder got nearer and nearer until it collided. Not on him, but his magma fist.
Causing the boulder to be cracked, exploded, and shattered.
Most, if not, all of them were stunned by the sight going on, even Hades, Roger, and Chris.
"Wow!...that was...something", Chris remarked.
After that was done, Sakazuki soon turned and left, heading to the observing room without saying a word.
000000000000000000000000000000000000
"I had to make sure I have him on my team", Hades confessed, "If some numbskull got to him first, there's no telling how huge this repercussion could do to my plan here. So don't blame me on this, but...I may have to sit myself out from the game. Just one time, one time only".
00000000000000000000000000000000000000
Sakazuki entered the room with glares from everyone, as he sat down.
Sitting between Jinx who was a bit at awe by him and Sanji, much to his annoyance.
"What?" Sakazuki asked him.
"Could've found any other seats to sit in", Sanji told him, sternly.
"I don't need your complaint. I can sit wherever I want".
Just then, an explosion is heard outside within the race itself.
"You know, I don't mind having you sit next to me. I honestly think what you did back there", Jinx said to him, "Was quite radical if you ask me".
Sakazuki can only scoff as he crossed armed.
Hades enters the room, looking burned out but not fazed.
He moved toward his direction, shoved Sanji out of his seat "Hey!" and then sat right next to Sakazuki.
"Sooooo...looks like we both out of the game it would appear", Hades replied, grinning at him.
Much to Sakazuki annoyance as he rolled his eyes out of being displeased by this news.
Back to the running ground, Jose and Lightning were nearer to the finish line, much to Jose's delight.
"Heheheheh, there we are", Jose remarked, "Closer than ever before!"
"Jose".
"Say captain!"
"Uhhh Captain Jose", Lightning mentioned, worryingly, "My legs kinda hurt and my back is feeling cramp. Maybe once the green light commences, could you get off me?"
"Hmmmmm, let me think", Jose replied, giving a straightforward answer, "No".
"Awwww", Lightning groans.
"Green light!"
"Okay go! Go you fool!" Jose shouted, pointing at the finished line that is closer to them.
"Yes sir! Sir! Sha-Lightning Sha-got-"
Before Lightning could finish his sentence, the floor below them exploded, causing Lightning to be flung in the air and crashing down into the ice ground.
So fast, he literally, straight up crashed into it, creating a hole.
Jose, meanwhile, landed hard on the ice ground, but managed to slide near the finish line, even when he's unconscious.
"Oops", Roger remarked, "I think I pressed the button by accident. My bad!"
When he regained his consciousness, he slowly took notice of the finished line right in front of him, ignoring how severely burned up he was.
He cackles for the moment, realizing the moment as he reaches his hand out to touch the finished line, "Yes! I'm near it! I kinda finally proclaim VICTOR-"
Before his hand could reach the tip of it, a piano fell on him, crushing and landing onto his little body.
His arms were the only thing visible as they were stuck out, all contorted and cracking.
"That's another fub of mine! My bad!" Roger clarify, with the only response coming from him is a groan.
Passing by him is Packard, as she simply just walked by and touched the finished line without care, giving a short, deadpan and sarcastic response, "Hooray, I won. Where's the bathroom at?"
0000000000000000000000000000000000000
"To make it clear, my hand was perfectly near the finished line", Jose clarify, "Neeeeeear it! So don't assume that old women claim that victory because it was me! Jose!"
0000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000
Soon everyone that was still in the game made it past the finished line.
Some were exhausted and were trying to take a breather.
As they did, Chris came by to congratulate them. "Congrats to everyone still alive! You passed the first challenge".
"Oh thank goodness", DJ sighs with relief, sweating, "It's over. It's finally over! At least I didn't got blown up back there".
"Looks like we made it, chump", Zeroman said, laughing it off and slapping Wolverine behind his back.
"Yeah, terrific!", He said, pulling out a cigarette.
"Wait, I think we are missing someone", Mahiru said, then asking anyone. Worryingly as she was the only one that noticed, "Where's Zoro?"
"I'm right over here!"
They all turned and saw him.
He didn't make it to the finished line.
Instead, he was way back at the starting line, which shocked some.
Including Nami, as she shouted, "ZORO! WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU DOING BACK?!"
"Yeah umm ... .looks I like blindly running without looking", Zoro shouted in the distance, "My bad!"
"Does that….." Mahiru asked Chris, "Does that count as him being eliminated?"
"Umm…nope. He is still in it. Along with Jose and Lightning".
"Yes! I'm still in the game!" Jose yelled, while his arms were being pulled by Lightning as he tried to pull him out of the fallen piano.
After some struggle, he eventually did, but the pulling was so hard and forceful, it sent Jose flying and slamming against the wall, "OW!"
"What? Come on! He literally ran back at the finished line!" Sanji shouted from the observing room, "That has to not count".
"Ha! Sucks for you!" Zoro shouted back at a fuming Sanji, "I'm still in the game, unlike you!"
"Sorry, it counts", Chris continued, "Now then, since one of the The Cruel Stars members manage to arrive at the finish line first, they get a point".
