"Last time, on the Ridonculous Race. Teams head to Mèrida, Mexico for a little swim in Cenote Ik-Kil, before getting into the heat with an assortment of hot sauces." Don begins the recap.
"The Genetic Clones take the lead after a fierce interaction with the Rivals, and something tells me they want to take each other on once again. The Worst Enemies took their first punishment due to Cartman's anti-semitism, but luckily managed to escape elimination."
"But after falling behind the crowd, the Geniuses unfortunately get themselves the first boot. Weird, I should be sorry for them, but at least I won't have to threaten the life of a baby." Don stated. "But who will be threatened with elimination this time? Find out on The Ridonculous Race: Zeta!"
Chapter 4: Romanian Grave Robbery
"We are back in sunny Mèrida on top of Chichèn Itza, where the Genetic Clones will take their first Travel Tip." Don announces the scene as Aloy and Beta approach the Don Box.
Beta presses the button on the Don Box, and is given a Travel Tip to start the leg of the race.
"Head back to Mèrida International Airport and book a flight to Transylvania, Romania." Beta read the tip.
"Did she just say Transylvania?!" Scout's voice was heard offscreen.
Sounds of thudding were heard offscreen as the Genetic Clones looked down the pyramid in confusion.
"Well. The blue cat's out cold again." Dante says offscreen.
"I wonder what this Transylvania is about." Aloy raised an eyebrow at this. "Let's go."
As the Genetic Clones went down the pyramid, the Rivals approached the Don Box and grabbed the Travel Tip.
"Fuckin' A! We get to beat the shit out of scary monsters!" Majima smiled with excitement.
"I'm not even surprised you believe in such crap." Kiryu says.
Many of the first place teams race towards the highway and all book taxis back towards Mèrida International Airport.
-Interview: Brother and Sister-
"We're not too fond of history outside of Japan. And our world is at least a hundred years behind this world." Tanjiro says.
Nezuko nodded in agreement.
"So I asked the others what Transylvania was. Turns out, it's a place rumored to have creatures of the night." Tanjiro stated. "It doesn't seem to be that different to the demons in our world."
-Interview: Park Keepers-
"I have a feeling this challenge won't be that different to what we do in the Park." Mordecai says.
"Does that mean we'll do actual work while we're there? Lame." Rigby pouted.
"I'm thinking more of the strange and dangerous monsters that we somehow encounter on the daily." Mordecai says.
"I don't follow." Rigby raised an eyebrow at this.
"You know, the Ducks, that security system Benson bought, even The Hammer that somehow manifested itself from the TV that one time." Mordecai listed.
"Oh yeah, right." Rigby says.
We see the Mercenaries arriving at the airport, and they rush into it to see a bunch of the groups already booking a flight.
"Good. We managed to catch the first flight." Scout says.
"Count again?" Spy says.
Confused, Scout begins to count the teams there. "Two… four… six… oh man." He groaned. "Can't you do something about this?"
"I'm not planning to make enemies just for immediate gratification." Spy says. "Keep doing what you're doing, and I'll handle our strategy."
Suddenly, something was heard crashing outside. The Mercenaries turn to see a taxi crashed into one of the pillars outside.
Coming out of the crashed taxi was Franklin and Lamar, who were a little dazed by their stunt.
"Next time we should actually kick the damn fool out of the car instead of backseat driving." Franklin says.
"You always handle the driving bullshit. Next time, I'll try to drive." Lamar stated.
-Interview: Thugs-
"I have no damn clue what Transylvania has to make so many people piss their pants." Lamar says.
"I've heard the stories. Nothing to fear for." Franklin stated. "But I also hear it has a bunch of old mansions and castles. Victorian Era shit. Those are the things that make you wanna piss your pants."
"If anything, we might race through one of those old ass things. We might have to deal with shit that ain't OSHA compliant." Lamar says.
-Interview: Mercenaries-
"At least I have something reminiscent of a plan in a race this chaotic." Spy was alone in the airport bathroom speaking to the camera. "There seem to be a lot of those who constantly antagonize their own teammates for the winnings. Take the Worst Enemies, Park Keepers or Underdogs for example."
Spy then took out a small notepad and began to think.
"Sure, these people may be impulsive. Idiotic, most likely. But that's exactly what I need here." Spy explains. "An alliance to manipulate from the shadows. Anything that can go wrong will be framed as their own impulsiveness, and our own team can sneak below the radar and avoid being gunned down."
"Now, I need to find a good opportunity to…" Spy takes out a kit from his suit and gets himself covered in smoke… before showing himself with the appearance of Don. "...get them all together for our first meeting."
"Welcome to Transylvania! Didn't think I would use the fake fangs, didn't ya?" The real Don says to the camera. "Home to historic castles, centuries-old mansions and the worst cases of burglary according to the internet."
Don was then seen in front of the airport with a view of Dracula's castle from afar. It was the middle of the night, and the fact some lightning struck down on its roof doesn't help with its welcoming vibe.
"Teams must take this Don Box for their next challenge, and trust me, it will be different from last season." Don says. "And it appears our first flight has just touched down in Romania."
The first airplane lands and all the first place teams rush out of the airport to the Don Box. Then the weather turns bad with some heavy rain and lightning strikes heard nearby.
"Alright, someone definitely might be messing with us." Ken commented.
"What else is new?" Nero asked sarcastically.
"Not impressed, host." Kratos says.
Rigby presses a button and reads the Travel Tip handed to him.
"It's an All-In. Get Grave Diggin'." Rigby read the Tip.
"This All-In involves both teammates heading into the cemetery next to Dracula's Castle and using shovels or whatever else they have at their disposal to dig up graves." Don explains the rules. "They have to find a safe inside the grave which they will take to Dracula's Castle without opening it."
"Wait, isn't that grave robbery?" Chun-Li looked worriedly.
"Keep in mind that this graveyard is a set-up and probably has no skeletons of very old rich people." Ken read the rest of the Tip.
"That doesn't make it sound any better." Beta says regarding the last comment.
"Take your retrieved safe up to Dracula's Castle and find the Don Box to receive your next travel tip." Dante read the last part of the Tip.
"This way, I think I can see the path." Mordecai points at a path heading through the forest to Dracula's Castle.
The first place teams head into the forest and eventually arrive at the cemetery, with many shovels sitting at the side for the teams to use in the challenge.
"Wow. They really want us to go grave robbing, aren't they?" Kiryu says, unimpressed.
Tanjiro began to go into concentration, smelling the air around him and visualizing his surroundings accordingly.
"No smell of corpses or rotten wood. I can only smell metal underground." Tanjiro says as he kneels down on one of the graves. "This smells like fresh dirt. It was placed here recently."
"The kid's got a sharp nose, it seems." Majima says as he plunges a knife into the dirt. "And he's right. This ain't a real damn cemetery."
"Okay. That's pretty relieving." Chun-Li sighed.
But as the groups begin to grab their shovels for the challenge, Kratos quickly reaches into one of the graves and pulls out with explosive force, unearthing a safe and holding it above him.
Everyone just gasps at this feat of strength from the Greek God. Kratos puts the safe on his back, and the Gods begin to make their way to Dracula's Castle.
-Interview: Rivals-
"Okay. There is no contesting with someone who is a literal Greek God." Majima says.
"We're glad this isn't purely a combat competition. Even with the many fights Majima and I have been in, we both know our limits." Kiryu says.
"But if we can't replicate his strength, why not his technique?" Majima excitedly asks.
"I've seen the look on his face. It's the face of someone who has seen the horrors of war and death. He has probably killed many as well." Kiryu stated. "I respect the fact that he doesn't indulge in it. That is experience, and it is something we need to strengthen each other."
We see the first place teams beginning to grab the shovels and dig for the safes.
Meanwhile, Dante and Nero take out their swords and prepare for a strike in sync. They slash the ground at the same time, unearthing a lot of the dirt and revealing a safe.
"Too easy." Dante smirked.
"Let's go." Nero says as the two pick up the safe together and head out of the cemetery.
"Looks like we can do it together as well, Nezuko." Tanjiro says as he gets an idea. "Think you can get your Blood Demon Art ready?"
Nezuko nodded at this. She then uses Tanjiro's nichirin blade to slice her own palm and let her blood drip down onto the grave.
"Ew. What are they even planning?" Jolyne asked.
"I hear that their world has demons that turn humans into their own kind. Unfortunately, Nezuko is someone unfortunate enough to become one." Aloy says. "It's why her brother became a Demon Slay in the first place. And here, they're gonna use their abilities for this challenge.
Tanjiro gets his nichirin ready before leaping up into the air. He breathed deeply once again, and water began to flow out of his sword.
"Water Breathing Eighth Form: Waterfall Basin!" Tanjiro yelled.
"Blood Demon Art: Exploding Blood!" Nezuko yelled out as the blood dripping from her palm glowed a pink aura
Tanjiro strikes the grave with his sword, causing a wave-like effect to engulf him and the area he strikes.
But the awe of the other competitors turned to horror as the wave effect began to burst into pink flames. The flames caused a bit of wind to accumulate and disorient the other teams.
-Interview: Former Inmates-
"What…" Ermes muttered.
-Interview: World Warriors-
"...the…" Ken muttered.
-Interview: Deadpool-
"...fuck." Deadpool ended the sentence.
"Hey! What are you doing here?! You aren't even supposed to be in this show!" Don yells as he goes in front of the camera.
"I got lost, what's up with that?" Deadpool says. "Besides, there wasn't a third group going to finish that string of words so I decided to jump in."
"You're already going to be another competitor in another story. Head back into the archives until TMIC begins the sequel of the Multiversal SBR." Don told the merc.
"Come on, his writing schedule is terrible. I don't want to deprive the real world of my comedy." Deadpool groaned. "At least I get a cameo here."
The pink flames eventually recede, and Tanjiro was seen unscathed by the inferno. The safe in the grave has been unearthed and the Demon Slayer goes to pick it up.
"Come on. Let's get this up the castle." Tanjiro says as he and his sister pick up the safe.
"H-Hold on. How the fuck are you still alive?!" Ermes stuttered in confusion.
"Oh. It's an ability of Nezuko. She can turn her blood into flames." Tanjiro says. "It can only damage demons, so I can touch it without worry."
"Ermes, calm down. It's not like our abilities aren't confusing." Jolyne stated.
"Just focus on the challenge, guys. The second flight will be here any minute." Kiryu stated as he and Majima began to dig the grave.
"And the Dragon of Dojima is right there folks!" Don announced to the camera. "As the Demon Hunters and Brother and Sister follow the Gods up to Dracula's Castle, flight two has already landed in the airport."
The airplane was seen landing in the airport of Transylvania, and the second flight has landed in the airport.
"There. The Don Box." Scout says as he was handed a Travel Tip. "We have to go grave digging?"
"What? Isn't that a crime?" Chloe asked.
"Not crime. Fake graves." Ice Bear says as he reads the Travel Tip.
"Let's go!" Hog Rider yelled.
"Hop on, Shrek, I'll make the trip quick." Donkey says.
Chloe, Shrek and Hog Rider hop onto their respective teammates, and the two teams head off into the forest towards the next challenge.
"Aw come on. Those teams are free transport." Lamar groaned.
"How about I hop on your ass to make you feel better." Franklin says as the teams began to run into the forest.
"Let's go." Ramlethal flew into the forest with Sin holding onto her.
"You know what? Screw this. We've got propulsion of our own. Hop on." Ripper told his teammate.
"Just what are you-" MK was suddenly interrupted.
Ripper then pulls out two entire cans of beans and eats them in one go. Knowing where the guy was taking this, MK smirked mischievously and hopped on Ripper's back.
"Already feeling it. You ready?" Ripper excitedly asked.
"If it means avoiding elimination, this is a sacrifice to make." MK says. "Cover your noses, the fumes might get'cha."
"Here I come! Let 'er rip!" Ripper yelled.
In a singular powerful fart, the Underdogs propel themselves towards the forest, passing by the rest of the teams as they shoot into the forest.
"Agh!" Phoenix began to cough from the fumes while Maya passed out next to him.
"Gah!" Scout ducked under the Underdogs as they flew past them.
"Well, that was peculiar." Spy says.
"Come on, we have to catch up." Scout says as he ran faster.
-Interview: Mercenaries-
Spy was alone once again in the woods, already brainstorming an idea.
"The Underdogs have a lot more chaotic energy to them than I expected. It seems that MK girl has as much of a drive to win as fatty over there." Spy says. "I'll try to play my cards right, and wait for an opening to bring all of them here."
We then see the Gods, Demon Hunters reaching the inside halls of Dracula's Castle, finding a Don Box before them. Atreus goes to the Don Box and presses the button to receive the Travel Tip.
"It's an Either-Or. Eyes or Ears." Atreus read the Tip.
"This Either-Or has the teams either searching the castle searching for codes for their corresponding safes or use their ears or other senses to safe crack their way through the safe by themselves." Don explains the rules of the challenge. "Inside the safe is a Travel Tip with directions to the Chill Zone somewhere in the forest. Get there quickly, because the last team to reach there may be going home."
"I guess I can try to crack the safe." Atreus says. "I don't think we should use your help, Mimir."
"It's alright, lad. I made sure to understand the rules." Mimir says.
"Alright, what do we do?" Nero asked.
"These safes don't look that complicated. I guess we can try to crack it." Dante says as he puts down the safe.
"You have enhanced senses, right Nezuko?" Tanjiro asked.
Nezuko nodded as Brother and Sister put down the safe upright.
"We have to be careful about this. Make sure to tell me if you hear something clicking." Tanjiro says.
"Alright." Nezuko nodded.
"As the three leading teams crack their way through the next challenge, the third flight with the last seven teams have finally arrived." Don announces as the third flight lands in the airport.
The last teams all got their Travel Tips and began to make their way to the cemetery.
Meanwhile, the Rivals, Genetic Clones and Former Inmates manage to get their safes out of the graves.
"We better move, Kiryu-chan." Majima smirked as the two lifted their safe.
"Come on." Ermes says.
The Rivals and Genetic Clones lift the safes by themselves, while the Former Inmates use their Stands for the job. The three teams then made their way up Dracula's Castle for their next challenge.
"Aw come on, we're already falling behind?" Rigby groaned as he struggled to shovel the dirt.
"Keep moving, it won't be long until-" Mordecai was then interrupted.
Then the Dynamic Duo, Brainiacs, Misfits and Best Friends enter the scene, they then get their shovels and begin the challenge.
"Well, it can't be that bad." Mordecai shrugs nervously.
"We got it!" Ken yelled as he unearthed the safe.
"Let's go." Chun-Li says.
"Aw! I'm gonna ditch the shovel!" Rigby exclaimed in frustration.
Rigby tosses the shovel to the side and begins to dig the grave like an animal. Shortly after, he manages to unearth the safe from the grave.
"I wonder if I didn't think about that before." Mordecai says.
"Yeah, me too." Rigby says as he lifts the safe up. "Let's go. If we get lucky, we might be able to get within the top eight again and snag a flight for the next episode."
We then see the Underdogs, Mercenaries, Thugs and Defence Attorneys beginning the challenge. Almost immediately, the Mercenaries finish the challenge to the others' surprise.
"What the- how?!" Ripper exclaimed.
"When you've been doing this job as long as us, you get the experience of doing the opposite." Scout says.
"Isn't it Miss Pauling that does the burying?" Spy asked.
"Eh… she taught me a thing or two." Scout says as the two left the scene with their safe.
"Hmm. Maybe we can do this faster." Ramlethal told her teammate.
"Huh? How so?" Sin asked.
Then two large flying swords came to Ramlethal's side, slicing through the ground with relative ease compared to the others.
"Whoa! That's cool!" Chloe got wide eyed at this.
"Oh come on!" Ripper exclaimed.
"Oh yeah, right." Sin chuckled upon realizing he had forgotten about his teammate's swords. "Let's go."
"As the teams arrived one by one to complete the challenge that could be considered a felony if done anywhere else, let's see how the first three teams are handling the safe cracking." Don says as the scene transitions to the Gods, Demon Hunters and Brother and Sister in the final challenge.
We then see Tanjiro slowly twisting the knob as Nezuko listens carefully through the surface of the safe. Nezuko then hears a clicking noise from the safe's mechanisms.
"Now." Nezuko smiled.
With a final assurance from her teammate, Tanjiro opens the safe after the final click, and sees a Travel Tip within it.
"Good job, Nezuko!" Tanjiro patted his sister's head.
"Yeah. This is it." Nero says as he opens his safe.
"I got it." Atreus exclaimed as he opened his safe.
"It will be another close race, right?" Tanjiro looks at the other teams.
"Yeah, seems like it, kid." Dante says as he begins to read the directions on the tip. "The Chill Zone is somewhere east, in the Transylvania Motor Ring."
"I see it!" Nezuko says as she points out the door.
Sure enough, as the leading teams went out of the door of the castle, they could see the Transylvania Motor Ring in the distance.
"Well, come on." Nero says as the Demon Hunters activate their Devil Trigger forms to fly.
"Hinokami Kagura: Flashing Dance!" Tanjiro yelled out as Nezuko held on to him.
The two groups blitzed away from Dracula's Castle on their way towards the Transylvania Motor Ring. Meanwhile, this left the Gods at the castle and they began to walk down the mountain.
-Interview: Gods-
"It seems you are holding back, brother." Mimir says. "Remember when we acquired that Realm Shift ability? I wonder if it can work here."
"This isn't about winning the money, head. Sometimes you think of more material needs." Kratos says.
"Yeah. He told me this is more about the experience of different challenges." Atreus says. "We just stay in the race. We can do more stuff outside our world if we do."
"Oh. hadn't told me about that." Mimir says. "Well, at least you can lighten up and meet new people. Getting hunted by elves, draugr or even the other Gods might be tiring to do on a daily basis."
As the Gods leave the castle, many of the other teams began to make their way into the castle for the next challenge.
"Oh well. Fuckin' disappointed that we aren't gonna smash some creatures' skulls today." Majima was discouraged as he read the Travel Tip.
"Why does it sound like you're discouraged about that fact?" Aloy asked before looking at the Travel Tip. "We'll go with Ears."
"Ears." Jolyne says.
"Ears." Ken says.
"Ears." Kiryu says.
"Do we both know how to safe crack?" Mordecai asked.
"Maybe. We know the basics. We just have to be careful." Rigby says. "We'll go all Ears."
Immediately after this, the Genetic Clones and Former Inmates complete the challenge; with the Genetic Clones using their Focuses to know the combinations and Jolyne using Stone Free's strings to open it from the inside.
"The Transylvania Motor Ring. Come on." Jolyne says before the two teams left for the Chill Zone.
"Wow. That was fast." Rigby was stunned by this.
We then see the Demon Hunters and Brother and Sister blitzing through the forest towards the Transylvania Motor Ring. They speed up even faster as they see the Chill Zone, trying to get to get ahead of the other team until…
"Wauugh!" Don shrieked as he tried to brace for impact.
Fortunately, both teams stop instantly as they reach the Chill Zone, leaving a bit of wind in their wake.
"Wow. Who won?" Dante asked.
"I don't know. Everything felt like a blur." Nero says.
"Who do you think, Don?" Tanjiro asked.
"Oh. um…" Don quickly regained his composure. "Unfortunately, since that little blitz you guys had almost made me wet myself, I didn't have the time to see who won. Maybe we can check the recordings after this episode."
"No need." Deadpool appeared next to the host, startling him once again.
"Gaaah!" Don shrieked again.
"Once I realized who was in the lead, I quickly took out my slow motion camera." Deadpool says as he hands Don a camera.
"Oh. Thanks, Deadpool." Don nervously says.
Deadpool hands Don the camera as the host regains his composure. Don then reads the recording carefully as the two teams patiently wait for the verdict. Eventually, the host points his finger upwards, ready for the answer.
"After the strange luck of Deadpool being here, we now see the winner." Don says as he shows the recording to the two teams. "And it appears that the Demon Hunters have taken first place by mere centimeters!"
"Heh. That was close, I can tell ya that." Nero smirked at this.
"Congrats, guys." Tanjiro smiled.
"Second place is definitely not bad. Keep it up, kid." Dante says.
"I just hope this experience can make everyone stronger." Tanjiro smiled at this.
-Interview: Demon Hunters-
"I gotta say. These are some interesting people." Dante says.
"Gotta agree with you there. This is some fun competition." Nero says.
-Interview: Deadpool-
"Okay, now that my cameo is over, I'll head back to the archives until SOMEONE manages to get his shit back together. Looking at you, TMIC." Deadpool says as he points at the camera. "Excited to compete later."
As the two teams leave the Carpet of Completion, the Gods are seen exiting the forest, followed by the Genetic Clones and Former Inmates.
"And the Gods take third. Genetic Clones are fourth and Former Inmates fifth." Don lists the arrivals. "While the first five spots are taken, the last place is still up for grabs, and nobody wants it."
We then see the Worst Enemies currently bringing the safe into the mountain, with literally all of the other teams just choosing Ears.
"We can take Ears." Kyle says as he reads the Travel Tip. "We've had some experience with safe cracking before, right?"
"I guess so." Cartman says as they begin to crack the safe.
A split screen was shown of many teams doing the Ears challenge. The Rivals, World Warriors, Best Friends, Brainiacs and Mercenaries quickly clear the challenge due to their experience.
"Got it!" Sin exclaimed.
"Consider it cracked!" Scout exclaimed.
"Move! Move! Move!" Majima yelled.
The four teams leave Dracula's Castle and make their way to the Chill Zone.
"Best Friends in sixth, Rivals in seventh, World Warriors eighth, Brainiacs in ninth and Mercenaries seemingly missing the whole point of a team." Don lists the teams coming into the Chill Zone.
"What?!" Scout looked around frantically, realizing that Spy wasn't with him at the moment. "What's the bastard even doing?!"
"I think you unknowingly left him somewhere." Don says. "And he says he's the one who you shouldn't slow down, huh?"
"I know, right?!" Scout exclaimed in frustration.
"But knowing him, I think he may be doing something that can spice up the race." Don says before winking at the camera. "But I'm afraid your team won't be able to register if only one teammate is present at the Chill Zone. I guess you'll have to wait for him."
"Well damn. Didn't think he'd bail on something like this." Scout groaned.
"While the mercenaries try to get themselves together, more teams complete the Ears challenge." Don narrates as the scene transitions to Dracula's Castle.
We then see MK cracking the safe quickly with her experience as a kleptomaniac. She opens the safe and gets access to the Travel Tip inside.
"Come on. We have to go to the Transylvania Motor Ring." MK says as she reads the directions on the Tip.
The Underdogs take the instruction of the Tip and run out of Dracula's Castle, on their way to the Chill Zone.
As they ran into the forest, a slight whistle sound was heard nearby.
"Huh? Did you hear that?" Ripper asked.
As the two look for the source of the sound, Don appears from the forest and walks towards them.
"Underdogs. I believe you two need to follow me for a second." Don says.
"Huh? What's going on?" MK asked.
"Is this about the fart boost thing? I assure you those were only black beans. You should really see me after I eat lima beans." Ripper says.
"Oh, it's more than that, I believe." Don says. "Follow me."
The Underdogs skeptically follow Don into the forest, unsure of their situation at the moment. Eventually, they are led into a clearing where they see Rigby, Cartman, Lamar and Max waiting for something.
"Is this really the last of them, French n****?" Lamar asked, which confused the Underdogs.
"These are the last ones, Lamar." Don then turns something on his watch that smokes his appearance, eventually appearing as… Spy. "Gentlemen? Let's get this alliance started."
We then cut back to many other teams heading their way towards the Transylvania Motor Ring. One by one, the teams make their place in the Chill Zone.
"Dynamic Duo takes tenth. Misfits eleventh. Defence Attorneys twelfth." The real Don lists the newcomers at the Chill Zone.
"Alright! We take our elimination escape with pride!" Donkey yelled.
"I agree with you there." Shrek says.
"Where are the Park Keepers? I thought I saw them leave the castle before us." Maya stated.
"They might've gotten lost. At least we're ahead of them." Phoenix says.
As Scout waited anxiously, Spy was seen emerging from the forest with a slight grin on his face.
"And where have you been? We could've gotten on a bad flight if you had come later." Scout was mad at the guy.
"Just relax. Things will be sorted the way I want." Spy says as the two step onto the Chill Zone.
"You can take that however you like, Scout, but thirteenth place is still thirteenth place." Don says.
"I'll take my chances, thank you." Spy says.
We then see a lot more teams exiting the forest and making their way towards the motor ring.
"Underdogs fourteenth. Thugs fifteenth. Park Keepers sixteenth. Worst Enemies seventeenth. And Campers in eighteenth." Don says. "With only four spots remaining, which one of the last five teams will take the fall?"
-Interview: Worst Enemies-
"Dude, aren't you worried about our position for the first few matches?" Kyle asked.
"Yeah, it's disappointing. But I have a feeling we can make a comeback." Cartman smirked at the camera.
"Really? What do you mean?" Kyle asked.
"It's a gut feeling, Kyle. Let it take its course." Cartman says.
-Interview: Campers-
"Yeah, we're in eighteenth. It's bad, especially this early in the race, but I'm not worried." Max says calmly.
"Is it because we're both agents of chaos?" Nikki asked.
"Something close to that. We just have to see if it actually gets us anywhere." Max says.
We then see the Schoolgirls opening a safe after cracking it.
"Yes! That took way longer than expected!." Miharu exclaimed.
"Come on! The others are still cracking their safes!" Xiaoyu yelled with determination.
The Schoolgirls take their tip and exit Dracula's Castle. We then see Jack and Oggy finally getting their safe into the castle.
Jack reads the Travel Tip from the Don Box and understands the challenge. He then spins around into a doctor's outfit with a stethoscope and uses it to listen to the mechanisms in the safe.
"Come on! Work with me here!" Lori worriedly yells at her teammate while cracking the safe.
"Wait! Now!" Leni signaled. "Oh wait! I heard clinking a few turns back!"
"Then what is it?! We can't work together like this!" Lori panicked.
"There! We got the Tip!" Lonky yells as he holds the Travel Tip above him.
"We have one as well!" Truffles yelled.
"Oh no…" Lori gasped at this. "We better hurry! This is the last digit!"
"Okay…" Leni tried hard to listen, until a significant clicking sound was heard. "Now!"
Lori immediately opened the safe after this final digit, meaning they have finally cracked the safe.
"Yes!" Lori yelled out. "Let's move!"
At the same time, Jack and Oggy manage to crack their safe as well, and have obtained their Travel Tips. Now the Cats and Sisters are locked in a race towards the Chill Zone.
"Schoolgirls nineteenth. Tricksters twentieth and Chefs in twenty first." Don lists the arrivals. "With the last spot up for grabs, who will take the plunge? Will it be the Cats? Or the Sisters?"
The race was on, and both teams exerted themselves as hard as they could to outrun each other. Eventually, the two teams make it to the Chill Zone for a final stretch to the Chill Zone. Both teams were very tired due to the running blitz, and tried the best they could to keep up.
"And the final team to reach the Chill Zone is…" Don says with dramatic effect.
In a final push, Oggy and Jack both collapse onto the Chill Zone before the Sisters could step on it.
"And the Cats are safe in twenty-second place! Sisters, you are out!" Don announced.
"Well, I expected something like this to happen." Lori sighed. "At least our teamwork is put to the test."
-Elimination Remarks: Sisters-
"Well, anything but last, I guess. That's something to cout, right?" Leni says.
"To be honest, I think being on this show is accomplishment enough." Lori says. "That means they saw that we had something to offer. Unfortunately, we were eliminated second in this entire race, so we might never get to experience more crazy stuff in this race."
"Yeah, that sucks. But at least we can say we competed in a TV competition and not be lying." Leni says.
"Totally. Let's see how Lynn handles this." Lori chuckled.
-10 Minutes Ago-
"Um… Aren't you one of the mercenaries?" MK asked Spy after he dropped his disguise.
"And did you say alliance?" Ripper smirked at the prospect.
"That is right. Now I expect that you simpletons keep this secret from being revealed." Spy says. "I expect full cooperation from you guys?"
"And what's in it for us? We're all gonna compete against each other eventually, so what's the point?" Max was skeptical about this.
"The point is that we are surrounded by powerful enemies. Those more than capable at doing challenges, and there are even those that are more than human." Spy says.
"Ah, I see your point. So you want us to coordinate scenarios to eliminate the true power players, is that it?" Lamar asked.
"That is, Lamar. Now, we are still in the race at the moment, so I'll call another meeting later." Spy says. "Be there, or you'll find yourselves being a target."
"Yeah, yeah, we get it." MK rolled her eyes. "You don't need any other incentive."
"Yeah. Let's do this." Ripper smirked.
Sorry if the structure of this chapter is a bit more rigid than normal. I had to cram the beginning of the alliance plot inside, which was harder than expected because of the amount of words you can write without knowing.
