Chris was seen in front of the abandoned film lot. "Last time on Total Drama Island Multiverse Edition!"
"It was the final round of the VR fighting tournament, with Team W and Team U playing first. It was a battle between Huey and Mandy. And while that may have been the main highlight, the other battles still had some interesting stuff happening in those too! Like….. Noah and his insults! And Heather! With a chainsaw! Yeah, never thought I'd be saying those words together."
Footage of Huey and Mandy fighting along with Heather chasing around Noah with a chainsaw was shown.
"Ultimately, Mandy and Team W were the victors! And with that, locked up first place in the tournament!"
"The last fight was between Team Q and Team V! And although the leaderboards were locked at that point, there was still a lot to fight for! Marinette and Jack were fighting for the final 12th spot while Team Q still had a chance to send one team member to the final 12!"
Footage of the fight between Team Q and Team V was shown along with the Wild Cards in the fight as well.
"Marinette had fallen behind. And her hopes of advancing was getting smaller and smaller as each match passed. But whatever Puss said to her about not having fear, it definitely worked big time. She came from behind to overtake Jack Horner with a massive explosive attack at the end. I mean seriously, a coin as a lethal weapon plus Explosion. Just wow."
Footage of Marinette using her Lucky Charm to create a double assist trophy capsule that had Megumin and Mikoto appear before the former unleashed Explosion while Mikoto unleashed Railgun on every fighter in their path not named Marinette.
"But, when things went back to the real world, Jack refused to take the loss lying down. I mean seriously, the guy literally turned big and threatened to kill me unless I gave him the money." Chris said.
Footage of Jack Horner growing in size and threatening to kill Chris if he didn't give him the money or if anyone tried to help was shown.
"And oh yeah, he got the money all right. He got all of the Benjamins and then some." Chris said, laughing a little.
Footage of the Bens coming out the case and then Goku, Vegeta and the others working together, attacking Jack Horner was shown.
"But before Ben could land the entire blow, an unexpected gust came in and finished the job his own way. Rick. And I really do mean he finished the job. He killed him. Well he lied at first and said he sent him to the Phantom Zone, but then he revealed that he killed him. And I mean, is Rick wrong about him saying the guy didn't not deserve it if something bad happened to him. Which, obviousyt it did. He literally threatened to kill me! Oh, and he's part of the reason the island got sunk. Which is exactly why we're here. I'm just glad the Rick kill was blood free. We get to keep the same TV Rating. Otherwise, that would have been a lot of censorship man."
Footage of Rick entering from a portal, shooting him with an anti-matter way, and completely zapping him from existence was shown.
"As for the others who advanced, Cartman, betraying the rest of his team, moreso Hawkeye advanced as he pushed Hawkeye into the kill zone for Marinette, advanced for Team Q. For Team U, Huey. And or Team T, Jack. And I mean the samurai, not the other Jack. Yeah, I thought about him coming back for another season. Probably not happening." Chris said.
"And one last thing, Marinette and Adrien, who seemed to be close, are having a bit of a secret identity crisis. Those trust issues are causing them to drift apart. Kinda wondering what's gonna happen with those two. Because from where I'm standing, I don't think this is going to be mended in a day. Which might be some entertainment. Or sad. Or both."
Footage of Adrien questioning why Marinette doesn't trust him to keep his and her identity a secret was shown, with him being visibly upset about the fact that she doesn't trust him.
"In the aftermath of the island getting sunk, what will the contestants' next challenge be? How will these relationship issues affect the rest of the challenges? Will I ever be able to get Camp Wawanakwa back? Seriously man, that island cost a fortune. You know what? I've made my decision. Just for being the big reason the island was sunk, no pun intended, Jack Horner is never… EVER, coming back here! Anyways, find out the answers to all of the previews questions right now on Total….. Drama… Island! Multiverse Edition!"
*Begin Total Drama Island Multiverse Edition Intro III*
The final 12 were seen taking pictures in a photo booth.
"Dear mom and dad I'm doing fine."
Lindsay was seen looking at a mirror before Heather C. took it from her.
"You guys are on my mind."
Luz, wearing a dragon mask, appeared out of nowhere and scared her, causing her to run away and drop the mirror.
"You asked me what I wanted to be and now I think the answer is plain to see."
As Luz was handing the mirror back to Lindsay, Dipper was seen at a table, drawing in a notebook about a mirror with Huey drawn on it along with an arrow pointing to it and a question mark on the side. Though he was scared by Huey who appeared, causing him to accidentally scribble all over the page. Huey shook his head before moving on.
"I wanna be famous."
Jack was seen meditating before Cartman tried to sneak and throw rocks at him but Jack stopped each one without having to open his eyes.
"I wanna live close to the sun."
Eventually, Cartman got frustrated and left, as Jack opened an eye before closing it, smiling a little as he continued meditating.
"Well pack your bags 'cause I've already won."
Cartman tried to sneak up on Mandy but failed as she put her fist up behind her and hit him, knocking him out as she continued to read.
"Everything to prove, nothing in my way, I'll get there one day."
Fred was showing Falcon the trap magazine he has.
"'Cause I wanna be famous."
Adrien was seen in one bench sighing to himself while Marinette was seen looking up from a distance from her phone at Adrien when both immediately looked away.
"Na na na na na na na na na na na na na!"
Huey had passed by Mandy and frowned at her, with Mandy doing the same thing in return before they went their separate ways.
"I wanna be, I wanna be, I wanna be famous!"
As Lindsay was messing with her hair, a mirror in the background had a Huey with a white samurai outfit in it, sword in hand as if he was just waiting for his opportunity to come out of the mirror.
"I wanna be, I wanna be, I wanna be famous!"
Adrien and Marinette looked at each other for a bit before looking away, increasing distance from each other as Cartman suddenly appeared out of nowhere in between the two as they all whistled the TD tune while the "Total Drama Island Multiverse Edition" Logo showed up on the monitor above.
Special Guest For Today's Episode:
The Drifter(Destiny 2) A/N: Fun fact, Todd Haberkorn(Natsu, Jaco, and for any fellow Tenkai Knight fans, Ceylan Jones) voices Drifter. I legit never knew this until now. And now that I know, I can't unhear Natsu in some of these Gambit lines.
As everyone was in the main lodge, there was a lot more silence than anyone expected.
"Wow. Everything's….. quiet." Luz said.
Cartman groaned. "Alright I'm bored. HEY CHRIS! WHEN'S THE NEXT CHALLENGE?"
"Yep. I jinxed it." Luz said.
"You know what someone should do? Tell that kid to shut up. He's so annoying." Lindsay said.
"Teams! I've got a very special announcement to make along with your challenge. Head to the front of the film lot and I'll explain." Chris said on the speakers.
****Confessional***
Falcon:
"All right! It's time to get into the action. I'm ready to go!"
***End Confessional***
The final 12 contestants met at the entrance to the abandoned film lot.
"Alright! You guys are the final 12. Now, I know things have been crazy with the whole Blue Lock thing, and especially with the island sinking. But even with all that, you guys made it here. This is our biggest season yet. With over 80 contestants and countless guest stars. So, for promotional purposes, we're gonna take a group picture." Chris said, camera in hand.
""Everybody act natural and on the count of 3, say Wawanakwa." Chris said before standing back a good enough distance to get all 12 in the shot.
"1….2…..3!"
"WAWANAKWA!"
All 12 contestants posed, or in the case of Jack, smiled and with Mandy, still having the same face she usually makes, with Cartman surprisingly not trying to pull anything as the picture was taken.
Chris looks at the picture to make sure it came out good before saying, "Awesome." He then looks up at the 12 contestants. "Now that brings us to our challenge for today."
"Which will be hosted by yours truly." A man said, appearing. He wore black, red and green robes with a jade necklace that looked as if it had multiple snakes. His shoulders had fur on them with ropes being on the gloves on his arms. He had a beard and also wore a large green headband on his forehead. A scout rifle was also holstered on his back.
"Call me Drifter. How you guys doin'?" He said, which caused every contestant to give their own response.
"Nice. Heard you're the last 12. Looks like you're the toughest out of everyone that was here. Well if that's the case, then I bet you're tough enough to be bad guys right?" Drifter asked.
"Of course! Duh." Lindsay said, which got the attention of Luz, Dipper and other contestants. "I mean, it's just a game right? We don't have to actually be bad guys."
Drifter smirked. "Heh, well if you wanna win here sister, then you're gonna have to be willing to hurt somebody. Shouldn't be hard for you guys right?" Drifter reasoned, shrugging as he did so. "Today, you 12 are about to get ready to bang knuckles in a game I like to call Gambit."
"Heard you guys met Shaxx. Played in his Crucible. Yeah, his Crucible's fine and dandy but, when it comes to embracin' the darkness, it ain't got nothin' on Gambit." Drifter said.
He then shook his head, still grinning as he did. "But I'm gettin' too ahead of myself. You'll understand what I'm talkin' about once you get there. But before you even get there you gotta learn the rules."
Drifter had a couple of pictures on a large notepad. Though they looked as if they were hand drawn. They weren't terrible, but they definitely work the work of an artist either.
"Unlike Shaxx I didn't come with any pictures. But I did come with some drawings. Could be better but, it gets the job done." Drifter said.
"Anyways, let me give you guys the rundown. Now first off, I know Chris said it was everyone for themselves. And while I'd love to see you guys do that, Gambit's always been a team game. And it's always been 4-on-4. But for today, I'll be generous and do 6-on-6. Don't wanna leave any one of you out. Take a page out of Shaxx's notebook. See how it works out."
Drifter then gestures to the picture behind him. There was a person in armor blasting a monster sky high with a white triangle on the ground.
"You're gonna be separated in two different, but identical areas. Unlike before, you're gonna be going up against the forces of Darkness. You know the guys that Guardians go up against almost every day? Yep, them." Drifter said. "Don't ask how they're there. A magician never reveals his secrets." He said, grinning.
"Anyways, you kill the hostiles, they're gonna drop these little items on the ground called motes." Drifter said, gesturing to the white item that looked like a pyramid. "Motes of darkness to be exact. Make sure you pick 'em up because they won't be there forever. But your job's not done with picking up just one. Pick up at least 5 and something pretty good will happen. 10 and something even better. But if you wanna be bold and do 15 woooo... you'll see it when it happens. Or at least your opponents will." He said, a devious grin on his face.
He then changed pictures to a canister in the middle with four triangle shaped sockets.
"This is the bank. This is where all your motes are gonna go. You can only carry up to 15 so you're gonna have to bank eventually to get more. Simply put the motes in one of the four sockets and you're good to go. And like I said, a surprise might happen too if you bank enough. But uh, try not to die eh? You die with motes, you're gonna lose 'em! Your allies can recover some of the motes since you'll drop some, but not all of 'em so be careful."
"By the way, not all enemies will carry the same amount of motes. The bigger the game, the more motes they'll drop. But that means they'll also be more dangerous. So make sure you're ready to go in loaded."
"Your ultimate goal is to bank 75. Now as of recently, I changed it to 100. But I decided to go back to the original 75 for this game. I'll explain the reason later."
"Um, Drifter?" Dipper started, raising a hand.
"What's up?"
"So we're gonna have weapons like Shaxx allowed us to have like last time right?"
"Of course! But hey, if you wanna go in and do a bare knuckle brawl, Titan style, be my guest! If it can let you bank motes faster I say go for it."
Drifter then changed pictures. The bank was in the background but there was a portal too which was drawn bigger to put emphasis on it.
"Remember how I said you'd be going up against the minions of the Darkness and your fellow contestants? When I said that, I didn't just mean you'd be racin' against them to bank motes. You're gonna be fightin' each other too. And that portal's how you're gonna do it." Drifter said, looking at said portal afterwards.
"Once you bank a certain amount of motes that portal's gonna open. If you're brave enough, one of you can go and invade the arena and go huntin'! The game? You all." Drifter said, pointing to the contestants. "That's right. When someone invades the other side, it's open season against the other team. As an invader, your job is to hunt the opposing team and take 'em out, makin' em lose motes in the process, if they have any. Heck, you can steal those motes if you want too, You were able to see how many motes each person had at first, but not anymore. I'm not somebody that discriminates. So you shouldn't either! Go ahead and take 'em ALL out!" Drifter said.
"And don't worry about the enemies on that side botherin' ya. You're gonna be flowin' with taken energy, so they're gonna see you as a friend. But that doesn't mean your game can't defend themselves. That's right, if you're invaded, you can fight back. Invaders are gonna stand out like a shadow in light. Take out the invader and they'll drop some of the motes they had before they went down. Or, if they don't have any, they'll just drop 3. But you can't stay there for long. After 30 seconds I gotta pull you back. But, if you get at least four of 'em while you're there, I'll pull ya back early. And, celebrate with ya!"
"Get all 75 motes and you'll see somethin' big. But that doesn't mean you've won. I'll let you see for yourselves." He said before turning the page, which had "The End" on it.
"And that's pretty much it! That's Gambit 101 folks!" He said, raising his arms in the air.
Drifter claps his hands together. "Alright Chris, your turn!" He said, pointing at him with his left.
"Just like before, you'll be using these suits. Otherwise, you'll get killed, and I get sued. Maybe even fired." Chris said, gesturing to the suits that the interns brought in with two boxes.
"Chris told me all about the suits so I know how they work. Was gonna offer up some of my stuff to help whip somethin' up for you guys but this works just as good too. Hope those suits can take a beatin'." Drifter said. "Be right back." He said before leaving through a portal Chris created to go back onto his ship, the Derelict.
***Confessional***
Dipper:
"Well, at the very least, I can say that this guy seems a little more tame than Shaxx. But then again, if Chris is letting him explain and host this challenge, there's still reason for me to be concerned."
***End Confessional***
Drifter returned with a box of weapons.
"All right! Got some weapons for y'all! Not sure what Shaxx gave ya but, I'm willing to bet they're nothing like these. Arsenal from the Dark Age. These bad boys hit harder than the weapons we got in our current times. Only things that really come close are the weapons made by Tex Mechanica. Right after the Collapse. Were some wild times." Drifter said as they looked at all of the weapons.
"Wait! Probably a good idea to put on the suits first." Chris said, looking at Cartman as he said this.
"What?" Cartman said, Auto Rifle behind his back.
Everyone put on the suits before going back to the weapons.
"Fun fact, not all Guardians were good. Some of 'em, they were the ones causin' some of the chaos back then. Warlords they were called. Collapse and the Dark Ages? Man, with all of that, humanity was on the brink of extinction." Drifter said.
"But, we did survive, right?" Luz asked.
"Of course we did! How do I know? I was there! I was revived in the Dark Age." Drifter said. "But, you guys probably don't care about any of that, or the story behind these guns I bet."
"I know someone that probably would." Dipper commented, referring to Rally.
"Excuse me, Drifter." Jack started.
"What's up?"
"I can't seem to find any swords here. I believe Shaxx said he had some to choose from when he was with us. Did they not have those in the Dark Ages?"
Drifter looked at the katana that Jack had holstered.
"Ah, a swordsman huh? I gotcha brother. One sec." Drifter said before leaving again.
He then returned with another box. "Alright. Not exactly Dark Age material, but these are some other options for you if you want." Drifter said. Some were satisfied with what they had, while some like Jack and Huey looked in the box.
"And to answer your question, Dark Age weapons were just a case of if it ain't broke then don't fix it. None of the fancy stuff you probably saw on the weapons Shaxx had. If it could shoot, it was good enough. Swords would fit into that category of being reliable. I would say probably, but considering I don't have one with me, maybe not. Long story short, I'm not even a hundred percent sure myself." Drifter said.
"If swords were around during the Medieval Times, I don't see why not. And that was way before you guys were around I bet." Fred said, choosing a shotgun.
"Hey, you're probably right. But again," Drifter shrugged. "I can't say." Drifter said. "But I can say that it's time for Gambit! Now, let's get you guys organized into teams. Each of you by the flip of a coin. Heads, you're on the left, tails, you're on the right."
Drifter pointed to Lindsay, who was farthest on the left. "Let's start with you first." He flips a jade coin in the air.
"Heads!"
Lindsay moves to the left.
He flips it again, this time for Heather.
"Looks like you're gonna be teamin' up with her." He said, revealing that it was heads.
"Don't mess this up." Heather said.
"How about you worry about yourself first." Lindsay said, which surprised her.
"What did you say to me?"
"Did I stutter?"
Heather decided to step on her foot, but Lindsay moved her foot out of the way and "accidentally" tripped her up in the process.
"I'm really sorry Helen!"
"My names is Heather. And you did that on purpose!" She said as she got up. "You all saw that, right?"
"If you wouldn't have tried to step on her foot, that wouldn't have happened." Huey said.
"I really can't say for sure. But considering your history, it's hard for me to really give you the benefit of the doubt." Dipper said.
Lindsay puts a hand on her shoulder. "I'm sorry for how I was acting. Is there any way I can make it up to you?"
Heather quickly throws it off. "Yeah. You can start by not not touching me."
"She was just apologizing. You didn't have to do that." Falcon said.
"You've got to be joking. That wasn't even a real apology. Are you f[censored]ing stupid?"
"Watch who you're calling stupid!" Falcon said, impulsively starting to going after her but stopping himself before he, ironically, did something stupid.
"Little advice, save it for your enemies in the match." Drifter said before flipping the coin again.
"You better hope we're on the same team. That's all I'm going to say. Don't think for a second I forgot about that boxing match." Falcon warned before going back to the group with the others that weren't assigned a team yet.
"Tails! Looks like you're gonna be on the right of me!" Drifter said to Mandy.
"You're also tails." Drifter said to Fred.
Drifter flips again.
"Three in a row huh? Tails!"
Luz goes to the right.
Drifter continued to flip the coin until everyone was assigned to a team.
Left:
Lindsay, Heather, Fred, Dipper, Cartman, Adrien
Right:
Mandy, Luz, Huey, Jack, Falcon, Marinette
"Alright! Now that you guys are on teams, to keep the spirit of Total Drama, let me come up with some names for you guys. You guys on the left will be the Ravens. And you guys on the right will be the Crows. Saw Saint-14 feedin' his pigeons. Birds were the first thing that came to my mind." Drifter said.
"Alright, let's get this match started!" Drifter said before remembering something. "Almost forgot. Now, I was gonna randomize the locations but, why not have you guys slay some hostiles in your house? We're doin' this on good ol' Earth. Or at least our Earth. EDZ. To the Derelict!"
A portal opened.
"And before we go in, Chris and I agreed to raise the stakes for this one. Now normally for these 75 mote games, it's best of three. We're doin' this Gambit Prime style. One round. Winner take all. No second chances. You win, you still got a chance to win the big bucks. You lose, you're done." Drifter said.
"What!?" Several contestants except for Huey and Jack said. The two simply raised their eyebrows.
"Yeah. You lose, you're automatically eliminated. No ifs, ands, or buts about it." Chris said.
"Hey, look at it this way, you do get to switch to whatever weapons you want. So you're not locked to whatever you initially chose. Just keep in mind that you'll be vulnerable while you're switchin'. Best not do that in a gunfight." Drifter said. "Well? Time's a wastin'!" Drifter gestured for them to follow.
When they went in, the two teams appeared on two sides of the Derelict, both being walled off from one another. Although they could still hear and see each other.
Destiny 2 OST- Gambit Theme Plays
Emerald Coast
European Dead Zone, Earth
Gambit: Compete against the opposing fireteam as you hunt the enemies of humanity
The Drifter was seen walking up stairs as the two teams looked to see what he was doing.
Drifter showed another one of his jade coins before tossing it up in the air.
"All right, all right, all right. Let's see what we've got." As he says this the coin falls on his wrist before revealing a symbol to the teams. It was the symbol of the Red Legion.
"Cabal on the field!"
"It's time for a gunfight! Cabal, cabal, cabal. At first, it was just the Exclusion Zone you had to fear on Mars. Then, it was the Red Legion. Now? It's tormentors. Imagine one of those in Gambit. Heh." Drifter said. Though as he was talking, Cartman threw the middle finger out at Mandy. "TRANSMAT FIRING!"
Music Stops
The two teams were teleported to two separate, but identical arenas, just as Drifter said.
From where the teams teleported into, everything looked like the original Earth at first. Until they all got within view of the center of the areas. There were several buildings that looked like they had seen better days as they had been in ruin. In the middle of one of the ruined buildings was the bank for the motes with dark Taken energy above it in the sky. Below the floor where the mote bank was, there was an area underneath on the ground that could be walked/ran through. The three fronts/areas of the arena outside of where the bank was located was a grassy area with trees and rocks, another area with two ruined houses that had two, and in some areas three levels of floors and a beach area that had the wreckage of, coincidentally enough a crashed Cabal ship.
"Kill the hostiles! Grab the motes! Drop 'em in the bank!" Drifter announced.
"Hostiles at the Trees!"
As the two teams got to the "Trees" area, they were met with enemies that were bulky in physique and were fairly large in weight, with the exception of the smaller and slimmer Cabal troops called Psions. Though like the teams, they were also armored. However, their helmets covered their faces. Along with that, some of them had shields, whether it be physical shields or energy shields which radiated orange, which was solar energy.
All of the Cabal forces that came out had shot solar projectiles at them using either standard Cabal Slug Rifles or in the case of the one solar shielded Centurion, lobbed solar projectiles that exploded which were Projection Rifles.
The legionary grunts were easy for the two teams to take out, though the shielded Centurions and Phalanxes proved to be a problem. The Phalanxes crouched before extending its physical shield to protect themselves while they continued to shoot their slug rifles at them. As for the Centurions, using their jump packs, they hovered in the air as they continued to shoot.
Cartman continued trying to shoot through the Phalanx shield with his auto rifle, but nothing was happening.
"Come on you stupid shield!" Cartman said, continuing to shoot, but nothing was happening.
"This gun is broken!" Cartman said.
"Or maybe just shooting the shield isn't going to work." Adrien said.
"It doesn't look like it's moving while it's doing that. So its back is vulnerable. Someone get behind it!" Dipper said.
"While you guys handle that, I'll go help out Lindsay and Heather. They don't exactly look like they're making progress." Fred said as the two were arguing, trying to shoot the Centurion.
"Stop getting in the way!" Heather said.
"Just move to the side! Is that too much to ask?" Lindsay shot back.
Although it took him a few hits, Fred got in the air high enough to hit the Centurion a few times with his shotgun before it was defeated, dropping 3 motes as it did.
"Come on guys! You heard what Drifter said. Let's get the motes and bring them to the bank." Fred said, allowing them to pick up the motes.
Heather picked up one while Lindsay picked up the other two.
"Why'd you take those motes? I was going to get there first!" Heather said.
"Well I don't know that if you don't say anything! I'm not a mind reader!" Lindsay said.
A blocker was already sent to their side as indicated by the noise that was made where the mote bank was. It was a small robot known as a Vex Goblin. Though unlike the originals, they shared the same traits that the energy coming from the sky had, indicating that it was Taken.
"Small blocker outbound to the Ravens!" Drifter announced to the Crows. It was Luz that banked the motes and sent them over.
Crows: 5 Motes
Ravens: 0 Motes
"Hostiles at the beach!"
As the Ravens approached the mote bank, they saw the blocker and its health and name, indicating that it was a small blocker.
Although it was, as the name implied, blocked them from banking motes, they were able to make quick work of it, bringing the mote bank back up. But as soon as motes were put in by Lindsay, two more small blockers appeared, this time from Mandy and Huey.
As soon as they appeared, the Ravens had lost a mote, with that same mote being transferred to the Crows.
"Watch it! If you got 2 or more blockers on your side, they're gonna steal your motes! Kill 'em!" Drifter announced to the Ravens.
The Ravens didn't take this warning lightly and took care of the blockers quickly before the only other mote they had was taken too.
Dipper put in 4 motes, while Cartman put in 3. Adrien put in 5.
"Taken runt popping up on the enemy side! Good!" Drifter announced to the Ravens.
Crows: 16 Motes
Ravens: 14 Motes
"If these blockers can slow them down, then it's a good idea for us to get enough to send blockers over. It isn't going to do us any good to just bank if they steal them." Adrien said.
It was more of the same when it came to the enemies. However, smaller, shorter enemies called Psions appeared. Although they were nowhere near as tough as their bigger Legionary, Phalanx and Centurion counterparts, they were just as dangerous. Lights were painted on some of the targets before they shot.
On the Crows' side of the arena, Jack was the first one to notice this as one had its sights set on Luz.
"Get down!" Jack said before quickly jumping in front and blocking the shot with his sword.
"Snipers." Huey said before making quick work of the sniper without a second thought.
Marinette used her yo-yo to grab onto another one before using a shoulder tackle to knock it into the crashed cabal ship so hard that it died, causing it to drop the one mote it had which picked up the mote.
Falcon used his rocket punch ability to bring down the shield of the centurion, which created a solar explosion, damaging it slightly as well from the explosion. Mandy finished it off with sniper headshots, causing the helmet to fall off as oil came out of the Cabal as it fell to the ground lifeless, dropping several motes in the process.
Marinette picked up all of the motes, giving her a total of 6 motes at the moment.
A Legionary drew out its blade from its free wrist with the intent of slicing Jack with it but he dodged the horizontal slash and attacked back with the pulse rifle he wielded, eliminating it in one burst.
Although they were able to get through without anyone losing motes, the problem of the blockers expounded as a medium and small blocker was sent, adding on to the one small blocker that was already there.
"They're stealin' your motes! Clear out those blockers!" Drifter announced to the Crows.
Crows: 16 Motes
Ravens: 29 Motes
"Portal's primed Ravens! Go make a mess!"
"Nice one Adrien!" Fred said.
"I guess you could call this a cat-astrophe for the Cabal." Adrien said. Putting his abilties of destruction to good use, he was responsible for the annihilation of the Cabal in the beach area.
"I'm going in!" Cartman shouted out as he entered.
Cartman appeared at the "Trees" area
"This is what the Taken feel! Revel in this!" Drifter said to Cartman.
"Invader's on the field Crows! Careful!"
"Take care of the blockers! I can take the invader." Huey said.
"Now just hold on a second!" Falcon called out.
"I'll go with him." Luz said.
"You've got motes. If you go with him there's a chance you could lose all of those motes." Mandy said.
"I'll go." Falcon said.
The medium blocker, which was a Taken Phalanx, put up its shield and sent Marinette flying back with a Taken blast from its shield.
"Well, I guess that decides that." Falcon said.
Mandy kicks him in the leg. "If she dies, we lose motes. Go with her!" Mandy ordered.
"Alright, but was that kick really necessary?" Falcon said.
Huey blocked a rocket launcher shot from Cartman with the sword he used but was hit with a shotgun right after.
"Huey's already down. Go!" Mandy said.
Seeing that there was no time to argue considering what just happened, Falcon goes to protect Marinette, who was trying to find cover behind a rock. Which was useless as Cartman can still see where she was with her name being shown above her head, even behind the rock.
So he shot a rocket launcher, which wasn't enough to defeat, but it was enough to flush her out of hiding.
"I don't think so!" Falcon said before lobbing grenades via the grenade launcher he was using Cartman's way, sending him flying.
"OH F[CENSORED]!" Cartman yelled as he was flying before he fell to the ground. The armor was the only thing that saved him as the fall to the ground would have killed him if not for the grenade launcher shots. He also dropped three motes, which Falcon collected.
"Invader's down! You can relax now!"
"Reload and try again brother. I'm bringin' you back." Drifter said to Cartman.
"Ravens! Your invader's down, but he scored a kill."
"Thanks." Marinette said to Falcon.
"No problem. Now it's time we strike back." Falcon said.
The three blockers were taken out, reopening the bank. But had three motes stolen in the process. They retaliated with a small and medium blocker of their own.
Crows: 30 Motes
Ravens: 32 Motes
"Portal's up Crows! Go look 'em in the eyes!"
"Hey Ravens! You're losing motes! Ice the blockers!"
Huey jumped in the portal. When he appeared, he was in the water part of the beach area.
"Embrace the darkness Huey! Take 'em out!"
"Invader's here Ravens! Find them before they find you!"
Instead of going out in the open, he went under the area where the bank was. The minute Cartman ran in to try and get him, Huey lunged and took him out with his sword in one hit.
"That's one!"
"At the very least, we know where he is. If we surround him he can't get out!" Fred said.
Dipper, Adrien and Fred took three different sides of the arena while Heather and Lindsay dealt with the blockers.
Instead of waiting, Huey ran to where he believed the weakest link was: Dipper. He tried to charge the fusion rifle but he hesitated just enough to allow Huey to punch him with a melee attack. Dipper retaliated with his own melee attack, but that only made Huey's next one stronger as his hands were suddenly charged with electricity or arc energy, which all went right at Dipper, knocking him out.
"Two down!"
Adrien, using his staff, swung it and sent Huey flying, though he used his double jump ability to soften his landing, avoiding himself from being knocked out because of the fall damage.
But it made him an easy target for Lindsay, who got him while he was still airborne.
"Invader down! You're clear!"
"Your invader's down Crows! But he secured two kills. Not bad."
The next area for the two teams was the "Ruins" area. This time, two centurions appeared with more Legionaries. Only a couple of Phalanxes were around this time.
"High Value Target is on the field! Hunt it down! Put some rounds in 'em." Drifter announced to both teams.
"I can take the high value target. Huey, you're with me." Mandy said.
Although he wasn't a fan of the idea, he wasn't exactly in a position to say no, especially considering how close the round was so far, so he simply nodded.
"Hey, you might have gotten two, which isn't bad, but you should have waited until they got more motes. It doesn't do you any good to go over there and come up empty." Mandy said to Huey as they searched for the High Value target, which didn't seem to be at the "Ruins".
"You can't see how many motes anyone has remember, how am I supposed to know who has motes?" Huey asked.
"You might not be able to see that, but we can see the motes for each team. I'm guessing the grey bars mean how many more motes could be banked. I noticed it when we first started collecting motes." Mandy said.
"But you don't know that for sure though." Huey said.
"Look, just listen to the advice we're giving you. I want to win as much as you do, so I won't purposely tell you anything that'll hurt our chances of winning."
A larger than normal Cabal centurion was seen hovering in the air at the trees area. It had yellow armor and unlike the other one, it lobbed large purple projectiles, which was void energy at them via it's Bronto Cannon. And with the damage both of their shields took, it hit a whole lot harder than the Projection Rifle and the Slug Rifles.
"That shield has to go. Falcon's rocket punch was able to get rid of it easier because it was solar, so we should use that." Mandy said.
Using his energy weapon, which was a solar auto rifle, he shot at the shield and shredded through it. Although it didn't stop the Centurion from shooting as it was able to bring him down to half of his own shield, the solar explosion still occurred, adding on extra damage. As both attacked the Centurion, it started to drop motes as it did so. As for the other four, with a combination of destructive abilities from Luz and Falcon, the Cabal forces that appeared were defeated rather quickly.
"Oh yeah! Look at those hostiles drop!"
And the rest of the team reaped the rewards, picking up all of the motes in the area. Along with that, thanks to a rocket launcher shot from Mandy finishing it off, the Centurion was also defeated, dropping extra motes along with the ones that were already on the ground as well.
"Woo! High Value Target is down!"
Meanwhile, on the Raven's side, thanks to the combined efforts of Fred, Dipper, and Cartman, the Centurion was burnt into ashes.
Using a grenade and grenade launcher shot together, Adrien was able to take out whatever Lindsay and Heather couldn't.
"Bear witness to the motes of my labor." Adrien joked as he gestured over to the motes.
"Thanks, but still not funny." Heather said as they picked up the motes.
"I'm gonna get you to laugh at one of my jokes, guaranteed." Adrien said.
Mandy banked the 15 motes she had with the others pitching in a medium and small blocker as well.
"Large blocker to the other side! You're a horrible person." Drifter said to Mandy who didn't exactly have too much of a reaction the comment.
The large blocker was a large Taken Hive Knight. Its cannon shot out fields of ice, or in this case, stasis energy. While it didn't do much damage, it would slow, and eventually freeze anyone that stepped in them. It would also occasionally send out streams of fire from its head, which would also linger on the ground for a bit and cause a decent amount of damage over time, especially compared to the stasis.
"You're bleedin' motes Ravens! Whack the blockers!"
Crows: 60 Motes
Ravens: 32 Motes
"Portal's ready!" Drifter said to the Crows as it reactivated again.
"My lucky charm's ready!" Marinette said as the status for her strongest attack indicated that it was charged.
"Good. You can use it to invade."
She goes into the portal and appears where in the "Trees" area behind a rock.
"You're invading! Make a mess!"
"Invader on the field! Hunt 'em Ravens!"
Destiny 2 OST- Emerald Coast (Ambient)(with action layer) Plays A/N: There's actual music for when a team invades or is invaded, and when the teams get closer to the mote goal but I can't seem to find it, so this was the best I can do as a substitute.
"LUCKY CHARM!" A grenade launcher was created. In this case, a grenade launcher that had the ability to track foes, creating a Ladybug-themed replica of the Veist Weapon Foundry Grenade Launcher, The Colony.
Swinging forward, using one of her abilities, Lindsay appeared right in front of Marinette, who panicked and shot the grenade launcher. But miraculously(pun intended), it caused no self damage. A/N: I have no idea if the Colony is capable of self-damage like most other GLs in the game. I want to say no from all the times I've played with it, but I could be wrong. If anyone's played the game and knows for sure please let me know.
"One down!"
"Wow. I didn't take any damage. I guess it has self-damage protection." Marinette inferred before attacked by Cartman who was shooting at her with an auto rifle.
"I will have my revenge!" Cartman shouted, chasing after her.
"Cartman wait! You've got motes remember?" Dipper called out, which was obviously ignored considering he never came back or even responded.
Cartman shot a rocket launcher and Marinette shot a grenade launcher. Although he went down and lost 8 motes, Marinette was heavily damaged from the rocket launcher explosion as she tried to shield herself from it.
Adrien was the next one to confront her. He was about to shoot but hesitated.
Marinette, after no longer shielding herself from the explosion looked and saw Adrien. Both were in an awkward position as there was silence between the two as they stood there. That is until Heather came in and threw a grenade at her, sending her flying.
"Hey, you fight dirty! I like it!" Drifter said to Heather.
"Come back and bring a bigger gun. I'm recallin' ya." Drifter said to Marinette.
"Your invader's down, but they took someone with them. Good."
"I'm here to win. And even though Cartman is an idiot for going after her with those motes, so is he. Even if I have to go through your little girlfriend to do it." Heather said.
"Marinette is not my girlfriend!" Adrien said.
"Then there shouldn't be any problem for you trying to shoot her then." Heather said, before going to the next area for more motes as the others took care of the blockers.
Adrien stood for a few seconds before eventually the mote bank reappeared. But they lost several motes in the process.
Crows: 67 Motes
Ravens:25 Motes
"Hey, don't let her get to you. Just have fun okay?" Fred said to Adrien said.
"Yeah. Okay." Adrien said, running to the "Trees" to help his team.
A couple of seconds later, Marinette reappeared in her team's arena and rejoined the rest of her team.
"Eight motes. Decent. But I expect more. They're going to strike back." Mandy said to Marinette as they continued to fight the Cabal.
"Sorry. I'll do better next time." Marinette said.
"For your sake, you better." Mandy said.
"Large blocker to the other side! Shaxx would never let you do that! Enjoy!"
"Motes drainin'! The blockers must die Crows!"
"Hey, you're team has enough to pull a primeval!"
Crows: 67 Motes
Ravens: 40 Motes
A large blocker and a small blocker were seen.
"See? What did I tell you?" Mandy said.
Jack went to take care of the blockers with Luz going to help out.
With some ice glyphs, the large blocker was kept frozen to allow Jack to attack it, with the others joining in to help out. Though the issue was the small blocker. Their attacks had no effect because it was shielding the Knight, so they got rid of that first. Although it was a few seconds extra, that made a big difference for the Ravens as they were able to collect motes, including the additional motes from the catch-up Legionaries that also appeared that included more motes for the team that was starting to fall behind by a large gap, and were appropriately named "Wealthy Legionaries". It also allowed them to steal 2 more motes in the process.
"Hey, did you wake up pi[censored]ed today or somethin'? I like it!" Drifter said to Heather as she took out several enemies by herself with the hammer she had from her strongest ability.
The Crows were able to take out the blocker but as soon as they did and sent a small blocker their way, a medium and small blocker was sent right back at them.
"You're losin' motes again! Get rid of those blockers!"
Crows: 68 Motes
Ravens: 59 Motes
"You're being invaded Crows! Find them before they find you!"
Several bullets were seen fired before Jack was the first one to fall. The invader was Heather.
"One down!"
Mandy locked on and shot a rocket at her before she was defeated too. Though Heather also took damage from the rocket with Luz and Falcon combining their powers to finish her off.
"Hey, hey easy there. I think you got 'em." Drifter said when Falcon continued attacking.
"They got ya. I'm bringin' you back." Drifter said to Heather.
"Your invader's defeated. But so are two opponents. Nice."
"I could use some help here! These shields are annoying!" Marinette said, referring to the medium blockers' phalanx shield. Its shield was about as impenetrable as Marinette's yo-yo.
Huey went behind the Phalanx before spinning around and slicing both blockers at once, sending them to a void energy grave as they disintegrated.
"Thanks." Marinette said.
"You could have just used your yo-yo to go over it." Huey said bluntly as he banked the 5 motes he had.
"Small blocker to the other side."
"Um, thanks. I'll be sure to remember that next time." Marinette said.
Crows: 69 Motes
Ravens: 63 Motes(4 motes stolen from the Crows)
"We're catching up!" Fred said.
"Let's use our powers together and finish this!" Dipper said.
"No. Allow me. You want destruction Heather? I'll give you destruction!" Adrien said.
"CATACLYSM!"
Although it couldn't affect organic beings, including the Cabal, it could for sure affect the shields that many of them had along with their armor, leaving them all exposed.
Cartman's ability was not something that any of them expected. Becoming a sumo wrestler, Cartman increased in size to that of an actual sumo wrestler and stomped his foot on the ground, clearing out all of the enemies.
"What did they ever do to you? Just kiddin'. Keep it up!" Drifter said to Cartman.
"Holy s[censored]. I did that? What the f[censored]?" Cartman said, surprised. "I think we might have just committed alien genocide. Cool!" Cartman said before running to get the motes.
"Okay, one I'm pretty sure you need to do way more than for that count as genocide. And also, nothing about genocide is cool." Dipper said, getting the motes.
"What? Oh sorry, I stopped listening after you said okay." Cartman said, going to bank.
Two medium blockers were sent to the other side before their bank went down.
"F[CENSORED] YEAH! WE WIN! YOU SUCK! EAT S[CENSORED]!" Cartman yelled out.
"PRIMEVAL'S HERE! KILL IT AND WIN THIS!"
Destiny 2 Emerald Coast Primeval Phase Plays
"Wait, wait, you said-" Cartman said before a large Chimera appeared and created a shockwave, knocking Cartman into a wall and instantly knocking him out. These Chimeras horrific amalgamations of the mechanical Fallen Servitor and living flesh. A gaping maw, lined with rows of fangs with tentacles covering the rest of it completed its monstrous appearance. This particular Chimera's only other attack than creating a shockwave on the ground whenever its enemies got too close was an eye blast that came out of its maw, one that was all but guaranteed to dispatch any of the contestants in two hits if they aren't prepared with some type of protection to defend themselves with. It would also occasionally shield itself, but its shield could be removed by shooting down the black orbs that appeared that it attached itself onto for protection.
"The Ravens have summoned a primeval! If they kill it, they win this!" Drifter alerted the Crows.
"We have to get rid of these blockers now!" Falcon said before deciding to transform now and use his stone.
"Falcon, I don't think that would be wise to-" Jack started.
"POWER CHANGE!"
He flew and charged at each of the blockers, getting rid of them in one hit each.
The Crows banked all of the motes needed for 75.
Crows: 75 Motes(Primeval Summoned)
Ravens: 75 Motes(Primeval Summoned)
"IT'S NOT OVER! KILL THAT PRIMEVAL!" Drifter said to the Crows.
"The Crows have summoned a primeval! Finish this before they do!"
The Primeval for the Crows was the same as the one for the Ravens, a Chimera.
Both teams' portals opened.
"PORTAL'S READY TEAMS! GO WREAK SOME HAVOC!"
"Let's do this." Falcon said, before eagerly going into the portal.
"Let me give it a try guys!" Fred said before going in himself.
"Invaders on the field for both teams! Careful!"
Falcon flew into the air.
"I'm givin' it everything I've got here! Win or lose!" Falcon thought.
"POWER EXPLOSION!" A volley of missiles rained from above, tracking everyone. Lindsay along with several others tried to hide. Everyone except for Heather, who shot a rocket at him, knocking him out of the air.
But the explosions caught everyone else too. In the end, no one was standing but the Primeval. Although it fed off the defeats of the five. Had it taken any damage, it would have greatly benefitted from the invasion.
"WOOOOOOOOOO! ARE YOU FIRED UP YET FALCON!? 'CAUSE I AM!"
"INVADER DOWN! You got some guts Heather, I'll give you that!"
"YOUR ALLY'S DOWN! BUT HE TOOK FIVE WITH HIM! THERE'S NO ONE LEFT! HA HA HAAAA! YOU WANNA BE A BAD GUY CROWS? THAT'S HOW!"
"Is everyone in that world like that?" Luz asked, eyes widened after hearing Drifter yell in their ears. "Because they would definitely be great motivational speakers."
"Yes. I suppose I can see that. Both he and Shaxx seem very passionate." Jack said.
"Come on! Those Envoys didn't show up until that Primeval did! Maybe that's the key of taking removing the shield from the Primeval!" Marinette said, referring to the Taken Hive Wizards that appeared. They would shoot seeking solar blasts from their hands with two Taken Phalanxes backing up each. Each Wizard would either have a void, solar, or arc shield protecting them.
Fred used his scout rifle to knock out Huey mid-air. But Mandy was right behind him.
"I can clearly see the mines right there. You're gonna have to do better than that." She said, referring to the tripmine grenade that he placed on the ground not too far from where he was, firing at him.
Fred shot the tripmine himself, damaging him and Mandy before both went down as they traded final blows.
"Even though you beat me, the others are still bringing down the shield as we speak. What makes you think you have any chance at winning?" Mandy asked as they were both on the ground.
"Primeval Compromised! Focus your fire Crows!"
"If there's one thing being on this island has taught me, it's that anything crazy can happen. Sure, it sounds crazy, but if there's any hope, I'm gonna try my hardest to help us win." Fred said.
"Your invader's down, but he took out two with him! Not bad!"
Everyone on the Crows focused their fire onto the Chimera.
"Its weak spot is in the middle! Hit it there!" Jack said.
Though that was easier said than done as the Primeval, as stated before, did massive damage with its eye blasts. And with how slow its health was falling, it seemed like it could more than take a beating as well. Jack uses his most powerful attack against it, which was moving faster than the eye can see before performing a single slice, but it barely put a dent in it, to the shock of Jack.
Jack tried to block the eye blasts with his sword but it was a meaningless effort, his guard was broken after one hit and he fell in two more.
Marinette went to pick him and bring him back into the fight.
"Are you alright?"
"Yes. This is going to be very tough." Jack said as they both avoided the eye blasts. "I can't win with my sword. And neither will any of us be by themselves. I must rely on my other weapons. And we must work as a team. It is the only way we will be able to win."
"That Primeval's Compromised Ravens! Hit it with everything you've got!"
"That thing looks so nasty!" Lindsay said, disgusted as she tried to shoot it.
"Eye candy? An eyesore's more like it." Adrien said.
"Nothing we're doing is hurting it." Heather said.
Cartman ran past them.
"Cartman, where are you going?" Adrien asked.
"Waiting by the portal to invade, duh." Cartman said, in a spot where the Chimera can't hit him. "Come on guys, think. It's called strategy. You guys shoot at the ugly por- I mean tentacle monster, and I go invade and kill everybody over there. Then, we win and everybody's happy."
"Portal's ready! Grab your gun!"
Falcon was in the air, searching for where Cartman was before landing back down to the ground. Eventually, he found him in one of the ruins buildings. He tried to send more grenade launcher shots his way, but this time they missed. Using his shotgun and a punch to the face, he was able to take out Falcon. He then decided to crouch over and over again over Falcon as he lay helpless. In other words, he was teabagging him.
But that gave Mandy the time to line up a sniper rifle shot and take him out in one hit.
"Hey! You didn't start that fight! You finished it!" Drifter said to Mandy, who trained her sniper back on the Chimera. Though she had to switch just to help take out the orb that it was protecting itself with.
"You're gonna need somethin' better than that. Pullin' you back." Drifter said to Cartman.
It became nothing more than a tug of war for the next few minutes. The loop of invasions, envoy kills and damage phases continued. Neither team could truly pull away from the other. But with the primeval instinct stacks increasing the more envoys were defeated, the more damage they were doing.
"Three minutes left. Keep hammerin' at 'em! You got this!" Drifter said to both teams.
"We're not gettin' anywhere. We're damaging it, but it keeps getting healed, because we keep dying!" Huey said, frustrated.
"I get it, it's frustrating, but we can't give up. We have to keep going." Luz said as the portals opened to invade again.
"Going where? In circles!?" Huey asked. "The three minutes expire and what then? We leave it up to chance! I'm not leavin' it up to that!" Huey said before going to where the portal was before he was stopped.
"No. I'm going in." Mandy said. "You want something done right, you've gotta do it yourself." She said, before going into the portal.
"Don't show any mercy! They won't!" Drifter said to Mandy.
"Invader's here Ravens! Brace yourselves!"
Unlike everyone else during their invasions, she intentionally kept her distance and simply waited using a sniper to pick each of them off. The first two were Adrien and Cartman.
"Two for one!"
The others, after learning of what was being used to pick them off didn't bother to try and force themselves out of hiding from the area they all initially appeared in at the start of the match.
"Ten seconds and I pull ya back!"
But she was willing to wait. She knew it was more of them being afraid of trying not to get caught in the crossfire more than playing with a strategy as it would seem from the outside looking in.
No one else dared to peek their head out as the Chimera continued to bombard them with blasts.
"Bringin' you back. Good hunt!" Driter said to Mandy as she was teleported back to her team's own arena.
"Your invader's back. With two kills under the belt."
"Invader's gone! Get 'em next time!" Drifter said to the Ravens.
The teams, after taking out the envoys once more, began to damage the Chimera again. The stacks of Primeval instinct climbed up to 9.
"Keep it up guys! We'll break through eventually!" Fred said.
"Ally's headed to the other side!"
"Invader on the field! Careful Crows!"
Heather invaded once again. She was able to take out Falcon who was hiding behind one of the smaller brick structures where the beach was, waiting to try and catch her by surprise. She was also able to get Jack with a sticky grenade, but was defeated by Mandy short after.
"Those will be the last two you get. Don't think about invading again. Or you'll regret it." Mandy said.
"Invader's down, but so are two opponents. Decent work."
The Primeval Instinct stacks increased to 10.
Destiny 2 OST Gambit & Shell of What Was Mashup Plays
"Two minutes! Ten stacks! I'm superchargin' your abilities! End this now!"
The portals opened again instantly after he said this.
"Portals are up! Invaders! It's open season! Keep your guards up teams!"
Lindsay was about to go in but Heather pushed her out of the way and invaded instead.
"Hey!"
Jack also invaded.
"Invaders on the field for both sides! Watch it!"
As soon as Heather showed herself from the beach area as she was approaching the starting point for both teams, Luz went behind her, invisible as she was about to attack Marinette and Mandy.
Within three melee attacks from a glaive, she was down thanks to Luz.
"You don't exactly learn do you? I told you not to invade. And guess what? Your team's going to lose because of it." Mandy said.
"Bulls[censored]. You can't possibly know that for sure." Heather said.
On the Ravens' side, Jack was starting to make his move and advance toward where the other teams were.
Fred attempted to stop him first, but Jack blocked the attack with his sword and retaliated back, dodging the explosive trap he set in place before going down by jumping over it.
"One down!" Drifter said as DEFEAT HEALS PRIMEVAL was on the screen.
Adrien was able to completely render Jack's sword block useless.
"That sword's not lookin' too good." Adrien said as Cartman and Lindsay surrounded him.
Jack used his ultimate attack, not for attacking, but for defense, using its speed to escape the situation he was in.
"The hell was that?" Cartman said.
A charging sword was heard before Cartman went down first.
"That's two!"
"Behind us!" Adrien said.
Both jumped over Jack, timing it perfectly as he was about to unleash the second burst, but he stopped it just in time as they were both about to converge with descending attacks.
"I messed up last time, but not again!" Dipper said, throwing a grenade.
"What?" Jack said, not expecting it and unable to get out of the way in time before it caught him as it exploded in what might have been a game-saving defeat of Jack.
"INVASION DENIED! THEY THOUGHT THEY HAD YOU HUH? SHOWS WHAT THEY KNOW!" Drifter said to Dipper.
"Not enough brother! Come back and try again!" Drifter said to Jack.
"A meaningless effort. It's over." Mandy said before unleashing a scythe as her ultimate attack and firing a laser at the Chimera. It's health was low but it put up a shield as more envoys appeared to protect itself.
"What? NO!"
Envoys appeared again for each team once again.
"One minute! Make every shot count!"
"I'm going in again!" Heather said.
"No! I'm going in!" Lindsay said.
"I've done way more than you have this game! My rules! My-" Heather said before being socked in the jaw by Lindsay and kicked in between the legs by her too.
"Does anyone else have a problem?" Lindsay asked.
"Uh, yeah, you go ahead." Dipper said.
"Aw what? You're just gonna let her push you guys around like that?" Cartman said. "Please. I'm going in! And if you don't like it, you can suck my-" Cartman said before being kicked in between the legs along with getting his foot stepped on by Lindsay, making him cry.
"Fine! F[censored] you! I'm just gonna kill the fat ugly thing! I never wanted to invade!" Cartman said.
"Forget it, I'm ending this myself." Mandy said on the Crows', before being pushed out of the way by Huey.
"What are you doing you idiot!" Mandy said as Huey looked down on her.
"I already told you you can't tell me what to do." Huey said.
"Huey! Mandy! We should really-" Jack started before Falcon suddenly punched Huey.
"You've had that coming for a while. I respected you at first, but now you're just some brat who thinks he's smarter than everyone else!" Falcon said.
"I've done a whole lot more than your-" Huey started before Marinette yelled out in frustration.
"I'm sick of being on teams with all of this arguing! We're a team, so we need to act like it! I'm a superhero! Not a babysitter!" Marinette lashed out. "The rest of you can take care of the-"
"Ally's headed to the other side!"
"What? Who-" Marinette wondered, confused at who went before realizing that Luz was gone.
"Invader on the field! Careful!"
"I'll hold off whoever's invading! Adrien or not! The rest of you take care of the envoys and finish this! Can you at least do that?" Marinette asked before running off to confront the invader.
Mandy looked like she was about to say something along with Falcon.
"How could Luz just run off like that?" Falcon said.
"We are not in a position to argue about roles! Time is of the essence!" Jack said.
"30 seconds left!"
Lindsay tried to surprise her with grenade launcher shots, but her yo-yo was able to guard against it just enough to protect her from the damage. However, her guard was broken.
"Well if it isn't miss secrets. I've been seeing the looks on Adrien's face every time he sees you. I think he hates you." Lindsay taunted as she chased after Marinette, shooting at her. "Look at you, hiding from me like you do from Adrien! You can't even be bothered to try to talk to him because you're too scared!" But she was suddenly caught off guard as Marinette performed an acrobatic backflip before being grabbed and shoulder charged into along with being hit again, knocked out.
"Yes! I am scared! But you know what I'm not afraid of? Bullies like you!" Marinette said.
"HA! SHE WANTED TO FIGHT YOU RIGHT? THAT'S WHAT SHE GETS!" Drifter said to Marinette.
Luz, in her titan form, wreaked havoc on the other team with her magic.
As she was running, Adrien was the first to meet her head on. She put up an ice wall to defend herself but he broke through with his staff.
Figuring he would do that, Luz smirked and sent an explosion of fire his way, knocking him out.
"That's one!"
She skated past the tripmines Fred set and got him next, sending him into far out of bounds to the point that it counted as a knockout.
"Two down!"
Cartman tried to shoot her but she was too fast.
"Goddamn it! Stand still!" Cartman said. Before he knew it, he was out too. Heather was next afterwards.
"The executioner's come to town!"
"Envoy's Terminated! Bring the house down!"
"Ten seconds! END THIS!"
Dipper was about to unleash a move inspired by Rumble McSkirmish, a large blue fireball.
What he didn't expect was for Luz to not only fire a fireball at him, but for her to use herself as a shield to protect the primeval. She was hit by the fireball, taking both of them out.
"NOBODY'S LEFT! ARE YOU HAVIN' FUN YET? I AM!"
Falcon, on the other side, was about to unleash his strongest attack, literally flying at the Chimera, uncaring about the risks in doing so.
"TAKE THIS!"
With that single punch, the Chimera was brought down as it completely disappeared from existence.
"Yes sir, that's what I call huntin'!" Drifter said to the Crows.
"Gambit's over Ravens. Opposing team defeated their primeval." Drifter said to the Ravens.
"Heh. Light? Dark? Who needs 'em? With you guys around, none of that matters!"
WINNER: Crows
LOSER: Ravens
The teams along with the Drifter appeared.
"And that's the match folks! Looks like the Crows get to move on! Ravens, sorry, but for there to be a winner, somebody's gotta lose. And it looks like its you guys." Drifter said.
"This is your fault!" Heather said to Lindsay.
"How is it my fault? You went over and invaded and did nothing!" Lindsay said.
"You didn't do much better!" Heather said.
Heather suddenly slapped Lindsay and she went on the ground, which caused everyone to gasp.
"Serves you right! Dumb bi-" Heather started before Lindsay suddenly put out a mirror.
Heather scoffed and closed her eyes arrogantly. "What's that supposed to do? Don't tell me you're trying to suck up to me now, it's too late for t-"
Dipper gasped and realized what that was.
"Don't look at the mirror!" Dipper said before running to try and get the mirror.
"Why not? Besides,it's not like I'd listen to you anyway." Heather said, subconsciously looking at said mirror. A green light appeared, disorienting everyone.
When it disappeared, the film lot looked very distorted. Saying that the buildings and sets looked out of whack would be an understatement, as even the camera was starting to get distorted. Eventually, it simply came apart.
*TECHNICAL DIFFCULTIES*
Shady Shoals Rest Home, Bikini Bottom
"Looks like the TV's on the fritz again!" Mermaid Man said. "Barnacle Boy! Go fix it!"
"What? Why do I have to do it? You've got two legs too!" Barnacle Boy said.
Mermaid Man got up and slowly started to walk towards the TV.
"Oh, forget it! Just sit back down!" Barnacle Boy said before hitting the top of the TV until it worked.
New York, TMNT 2003 Universe
"Don! The TV's not working again!" Mikey called out.
"Are you sure you're not sitting on the remote again?" Donnie asked from another room.
"I'm not! Honest!" Mikey called out.
Jump City
"Robin! Friend Raven! The Vision Box is not working correctly!" Starfire called out.
"Did you try pressing the on button on the remote?" Robin called out.
"I did not! I will try it now!" Starfire said before pressing the power button. But it ended up turning the TV off.
"I think I made it worse! Friend Raven! Please help!"
Raven sighed and entered the room.
"Alright Starfire." Raven used her powers to bring the remote to her.
"Remember, the power button's up here." Raven said before turning the TV back on. The "TECHNICAL DIFFICULTIES" message was still there.
"See? That was the message that was there before! Is there any way you can fix it?" Starfire asked.
"Looks like this one's out of my hands. Sorry." Raven said.
"ROBIN! ROBIN! Please come help! Raven says that she cannot fix it! Perhaps maybe you can!" Starfire said.
"In a sec!" Robin called out from another room.
"I wish friend Cyborg was here. He would know what to do." Starfire said.
Dipper tried to wrestle the mirror out of Lindsay's hands as the ground was starting to become nothing more than just cement without looking at it. The mirror was suddenly on the ground. Though feathers appeared to soften its fall and stop it from shattering.
"What is even going on here? Why are there two of-" Heather started before tripping over someone that looked just like her.
"I'm so sorry!" The doppleganger said before she fell through the mirror. When that happened, all of the distortion stopped.
Shady Shoals Rest Home
Barnacle Boy was still hitting on the TV.
"Come on you stupid piece of junk!"
The show was back on the TV as the "TECHNICAL DIFFICULTIES" message disappeared.
"There we go. Good job Barnacle Boy!" Mermaid Man said.
"Yeah, sure whatever." Barnacle Boy said before sitting back down beside Mermaid Man.
New York, TMNT 2003 Universe
"All right, let's see what's-" Donnie started before looking and seeing that the TV was normal.
"Oh. Looks like it fixed itself." Mikey said.
"Fixed itself. Right." Donnie said sarcastically, not believing a single word that Mikey said before walking away and shaking his head.
"Sorry!" Mikey called out.
Jump City
"Starfire, what's-" Robin started before seeing that she was all smiles.
"The Vision Box is fixed! My pleas must have worked!" Starfire said.
"Uh, yeah, sure!" Robin said, going along with it, even though he had no clue what Starfire was talking about. "If you need anything else, let me know." He said before leaving to go back to training.
Abandoned Film Lot
"Dude, what just happened!?" Chris asked as Lindsay stepped on the mirror with her foot with an evil grin on her face.
"Do you realize what you just did?" Luz asked.
"Of course I did! I'm not stupid! Unlike that other Lindsay!"
"So you're from that mirror too." Mandy said.
"Um, can someone tell me what's-" Chris started.
"Not now!" Everyone said, simultaneously.
"You guys should be happy! This Heather should be a lot nicer than the old one." Lindsay said.
"What's going on? Who are you guys?" "Mirror" Heather asked.
"It's a long story." Dipper said.
"Well, I can listen. I'm Heather. It's really nice to meet you all. What is this place anyway?" Heather asked.
"Wow. She wasn't kidding. It's like night and day." Falcon said.
"Even so, Huey and Lindsay are trapped in there, and they might never be able to get out! Well, our Huey and Lindsay." Dipper said.
"So that mirror creates versions of yourself that act the exact opposite of yourself? Neat!" Fred said. "I wonder how evil I'd be in that mirror."
"Yeah, I do think it's neat but the fact that that mirror's broken is still a problem. Those opposites need to go back." Luz said.
"I wish I could help, but, I'd probably do more harm than good. Best of luck to ya!" Drifter said before leaving.
"Okay, look, I don't care who's who or who acts a certain way, but there's still a Heather and a Lindsay here. And I've still got a show to run! They both gotta go! Lame-o-sine! Now!" Chris said.
The sick began to go in the lame-o-sine.
"I'll be back next season. Just you watch!" Lindsay said, going into the lame-o-sine. "And Marinette, good luck with your little relationship problem." She added, which only irritated Marinette.
"Hey, could you tell me what's going on? I'm still a bit confused." Heather asked to Fred.
"Sure thing! I'll tell you everything along the way." Fred said.
"Has anyone ever told you you looked really handsome?" Heather asked.
"Aw shucks. Thanks!" Fred said, genuinely flattered at the compliment.
"So what do we do now?" Luz asked Dipper.
"If that mirror really can't be fixed, I... don't know." Dipper said.
"We'll figure something out." Marinette said.
"For those three's sake, I hope so." Dipper said before getting in.
"Screw your Aftermath! And screw all you guys too! I'm going home!" Cartman said.
"Good riddance." Falcon said. "I think we can all agree that he was annoying."
"Adrien?" Marinette said before he got into the lame-o-sine.
He turned. "Look, I'm sorry for what happened. I know an apology won't fix everything, but, I hope that'll be a start."
"I appreciate the gesture, but that doesn't automatically fix everything. Trust isn't something that you can just earn back like you're in a video game. That doesn't mean I won't stop fighting crime or helping out. But I'm not doing it because of you. I'm doing it because there's people out there that can't protect themselves. If I let this get in the way of me helping people, then I can't call myself a superhero." Adrien said.
"Yeah. I understand. See you at school." Marinette said.
"Goodbye. Marinette." Adrien said as the lame-o-sine drove off.
"Congrats! You're the last six standing! From this point on, everyone will be to themselves! And I mean it this time! Go ahead and get some rest and relax! Your next challenge will be tomorrow!"
"What? Tomorrow? Are you serious?" Luz asked.
"Yeah. The show still has to go on, duh." Chris said.
***Confessional***
Mandy:
"A shame that that mirror's broken. Not sure if it can be fixed, but at this point, it's none of my concern anymore."
***End Confessional***
***Confessional***
Luz:
"The mirror's broken. There has to be something we can do. Right? They can't be trapped in there forever." Luz said before the positive face she had immediately turned to uncertainty. "Right?"
***End Confessional***
***Confessional***
Huey:
"Well, at least that's one thing I don't have to worry about. I would say I feel bad for him, but then again, I wouldn't have left that world without a reason. I can't stand living with them man."
***End Confessional***
"And with that, only six remain! Who will triumph out of these final six? Tune into these next few episodes to find out! On Total... Drama... Island! Multiverse Edition!" Chris said.
A/N: It's official! These are your final six! The next episode may or may not be an Aftermath. I will also be making one final popularity poll of all the characters this season for who your top five favorites are overall. If you want to wait until the end of the season to vote, don't worry, it'll remain open until the next season starts so you have time. This poll won't affect the roster for next season, it's just for fun and out of curiosity for whether any of your opinions on favorites changed from the beginning until now.
A poll for your favorite challenge will also be posted at the end of the season so be on the lookout for that as well.
If it wasn't for the fact that Shaxx and Drifter will be hosting challenges next season, I can't help but wonder how they'd fare in a season of Total Drama.
Final Six:
Luz, Mandy, Jack, Marinette, Falcon, Huey
Eliminated:
Heather C., Lindsay, Dipper, Fred, Adrien, Cartman
