A/N: As promised, here's part two to the challenge! Time to break the chain once again!
Answer to trivia question in previous chapter:
Sebastian and Kagami
Sebastian has stated that he hates dogs in Black Butler. Kagami doesn't like dogs because of the fact that he was bitten by one during his time in the US. Since then, he's been afraid of them, including Kuroko's own dog, Tetsuya #2.

"Welcome back to Total Drama Across the Multiverse! We're about to dive straight into the challenge! No recap needed! So let's get started!" Chris said.
"Hey Yulaw, take this." Bennet said to him, handing him the microphone.
"Thanks." Yulaw said before putting it in his ear. Though it felt like it wasn't even there.
"Alright! Last call for any last minute changes before we start!" Chris said.
"I think we're good here." Sly said.
"I'm ready to get this started." Kagami said.
"Same here. Let's go!" Kageyama said.
"Hey, slow down. Why are you guys in such a rush to get your a[censored]es kicked?" Haizaki said.
"We haven't even won a game a yet and you're already running your mouth. Just be quiet!" Kageyama said.
"Well then who's fault was that? Now if you don't wanna lose again try not to miss things up. Alright? I'm tryin' to see what that First Class looks like. Ya get my drift?" Haizaki said. "And stay out of my way. I'll handle Mr. hothead over there."
"Hey! Haizaki! You better win or else!" Launch said.
"Tell that to the rest of the team. I'll be sure to carry my weight." Haizaki said.
"The rest of you too! I wanna be on first class!" She said before pulling out a rifle and pointing it at them. "Got it?"
"You don't have to tell me twice." Fiona said, not because she was afraid of Launch, but more because she wanted to win herself.
Kunigami genuinely didn't care about Launch's words and completely ignored her.
"Let's do this." Kageyama said.
"I think it's about time I shut that mouth of yours." Kagami said to Haizaki.
"Well come on then. Bring it on." Haizaki said, grinning.
"Kagami, let me handle him." Lucy said.
"No. This guy's gonna learn that he better be careful what he wishes for." Kagami said.
"Hey, if you wanna come at me I don't mind. Gotta warn ya though. I might be too much for you to handle." Haizaki said to Lucy, smiling at her.
"Crush this guy Kagami!" Lucy said, angered, knowing that his tone made it clear that he was trying to hit on her.
"You don't have to tell me twice." Kagami said.
***Confessional***
Lucy(Radical Rats):
"Never, EVER in a million years would I ever be attracted to guys like him. I really hope he's gone after this challenge. But something tells me that he's not going to go down that easy. He's got a trick or two up his sleeve, I just know it. And the worst part about it is, I don't think it's the fact that he supposedly is willing to play dirty like Aomine said. Hopefully I'm wrong and he's just all talk."
***End Confessional***
***Confessional***
Sebastian(Storm Kings):
"Haizaki's rather rude behavior is not something I can say I approve of. However, from what I've learned about his 'stealing' ability from Isagi's notes, I'm rather interested to see how it works. Not against me or my teammates of course."
***End Confessional***
"The 3-Way team battle between the Radical Rats, Storm Kings and Wave Breakers begins now!" Ringo announced as all three of their logos appeared on screen.
Radical Rats: Kurita, Tangle, Kagami, Lucy, Yulaw, Puss, Hiruma
Storm Kings: Jotaro, Sly, Bachira, Sebastian, Marinette, Alejandro, Skipper
Wave Breakers: Dwayne, Kunigami, Fiona, Haizaki, Randy, Kageyama, Richie
"If you're wondering where we got the logos from, you can thank Shiraume for the idea. She got one of her friends, who is a designer, to design them just for this event. The same with the stickers to make it feel like an official AT team battle." Chris said to the audience.
"It's nothing. She's the artisitic genius after all." Shiraume said, smiling, a bashful look on her face after realizing the camera was only focusing on her.
"Hold it! We've got a miscount! There's eight of you on the Rats! One of you will need to drop out." Chris said.
"Manpig, you stay. I'll drop out." Hiruma said.
"Are you sure?" Kurita asked.
"OF COURSE I'M SURE!" Hiruma said. "Now make sure you win. Got it?"
"I'll try my best!" Kurita said.
***Confessional***
Hiruma(Radical Rats):
"Even if I stayed, it wouldn't have made much of a difference. I didn't intend on sticking around too long in the race anyway." He said before laughing a little. "But at the very least, I get to analyze the rest of my teammates from afar. You'll see exactly I left in Kurita."
***End Confessional***
***Confessional***
Miyuki(Wave Breakers):
"Call me crazy but, I don't think Hiruma was going to stick around for too long anyway. Knowing him he was going to purposely shoot off someone's ATs." He said, before trying to contain his laughter from how crazy he's sure Hiruma is to actually try something like that. "A gutsy move, but crazy enough to actually work and get a really good contestant from the Kings out of the race since there aren't too many spare ATs. Why the Kings? Because they have the most experience in this obviously. Besides, it's not actually cheating. He's just manipulating the rules to his advantage."
***End Confessional***
"Let's show them what we can do Infinite Leopatra!" Fiona said, holding said car up in the air proudly. The evolved car was pink and silver with a leopard-like pattern on the sides next to where the scan card area was. Its rims were white and its Satellite Owl was attached to back of it. Though as its name and design implied, it had the spirit of a Leopard. She held up its scan card in her other hand before swiping it across the scan card area. "Scan one!" She called out.
The power stone at the top of the vehicle glowed an aqua blue as it activated, also granting it one turbo boost.
"Fiona's got the right idea. This is the perfect time to do this since I probably won't be able to do this on the move." Lucy thought before pulling out a key.
"Open! Gate of the Golden Bull! Taurus!" Lucy called out.
A tall bull that was covered in a black and white pattern, and like real bulls, bore a large golden ring in his nose. Compared to the rest of his body however, his tail was pretty small. The only thing he wore was a dark indument held up by a red studded belt, dark boots and a red belt circling his nick, which a golden cowbell is attached. He also had his forearms wrapped in bandages and wore fingerless gloves. When he's not using his signature axe, which he was holding in his hand, he put it in a large, plain dark belt closed via a buckle that was crossing his chest diagonally.
"MOOOOOOOOOOOO!" Taurus called out as he was summoned.
"Lookin' good as always Lucy!" Taurus said, enamored by Lucy as he always is.
"What's up with the animals lady? Pretty weird don't you think?" Haizaki asked.
"IT'S NOT LIKE THAT! WHAT THE HELL IS WRONG WITH YOU?" Lucy shouted.
"That's your bull, not mine." Haizaki said, shrugging.
"So? I didn't ask him to be like this!" Lucy said.
"What is that? That's incredible." Fiona said, looking as Taurus towered over several of the contestants.
"Wow! Look at that!" Akko said, amazed at the Celestial Spirit Lucy summoned.
"So she can do magic too?" Lucy said, just as amazed as Akko.
"Interesting." Sophie commented. Because of the fact that she was a Seeker, seeing something like what Lucy summoned didn't surprise her in the slightest. It interested her instead.
"This guy botherin' you Lucy? I'll get him to moooove." Taurus said, axe in hand.
"Race hasn't started yet. So don't do anything yet." Lucy said.
"Then let's get mooooovin' already!" Taurus said.
"Not yet. You're not the only one with tricks up their sleeve." Adrien said.
"Plagg! Claws out!"
"Let's transform too Tikki!" Marinette said to the Kwami.
"Okay!"
"Tikki! Spots on! HAAA!"
Both Marinette and Adrien transformed into Ladybug and Cat Noir respectively, at the same time.
Eijun and Monta were both in awe at the transformations and the Celestial Spirit summoning.
"Check it out!" Eijun said.
"Real life superheroes!" Monta said.
"Isn't that cool Furuya?" Eijun asked, though when he opened his eyes he could feel an aura around Furuya that was blue. Monta also noticed it.
"What's going on with your friend over there?" Monta asked. "It's like there's some kind of aura around him!"
Miyuki laughed before saying, "Looks like he's ready to compete. Don't worry, you'll get your chance!" He said.
"Next challenge. I will be out in the field." Furuya thought.
Eijun could only grin. "I'm just as ready to compete as you are Furuya."
"Ready?" Ringo said.
"Man. This magic stuff's crazy. Just glad he's on our side." Kagami thought but was immediately broken out of his thoughts from a sudden loud noise.
Chris blew an airhorn in all of their ears, causing several of them to fall off in surprise.
Jotaro and Skipper covered their ears.
Sebastian only sighed in annoyance.
"What is wrong with you!?" Fiona said.
"You could have just said 'go.'" Dwayne said.
"Couldn't resist. Would have been funny to see most of you fall. And that's exactly what happened." Chris said before laughing.
Taurus helped up Lucy.
"Anyways, you better get going. Jotaro, Skipper and Puss are already on the move." Chris said.
"Damn it! Get back here!" Kageyama and Kagami said, trying to quickly get up only to fall again.
"What are you doing? You need to take your time!" Fiona said to Kageyama.
"Forget taking your time! This is a race!" Kageyama said. "Do you want us to lose again!?"
"I know this is a race! I'm a racer you idiot!" Fiona said, getting back up.
"Guys! Stop! We're falling behind!" Dwayne said.
Ding Ding
"Worst time for a song." Richie said, trying to catch up to the others as Fiona, Alejandro and Lucy had already passed him.
"Too bad it's not your show. Then you get to decide when to sing or not." Chris said.
"I've only got one turbo boost. Even though he's there I have to stay calm. And make that boost count!" Fiona thought, referring to Taurus, who concerned her the most, even though he had to move without ATs.
Sky-2-High by Skankfunk plays(There's an extended mix that mixes some instrumental bits on youtube with the original version made by vyrde, this version of the song will be used)
Richie: Sky's too high
Fiona and Lucy: Cloud's too high
Alejandro: Cloud's too high
Kagami and Haizaki: Moonlit sky
Taurus and Leopatra followed and stuck close to Lucy and Fiona respectively.
Haizaki: The truth
Haizaki and Adrien: The truth
Tangle: The truth shall set you free
As an instrumental segment of the song took place, everyone, now on the move, was going through the park, with some of the park noticeably being damaged due to some of the contestants and the previous ventures, including Paul and Maki's training.
"You realize this counts as destruction of property right?" Heloise asked Chris as they went through some of the ruined parts of the park with Taurus adding to it as he knocked over several trash cans and recycling bins.
"Nope! Already said I wasn't responsible! And they can't know who did if we're already gone." Chris said.
"Yeah, I'd like to see you try that in every place that we go. If it happened once it'll happen again." Heloise said.
"Quiet! They're about to get back singing again." Chris said.
"No they're not! You're just-"
Yulaw: Sky's your morning
Randy: Sky's too high
Dwayne: Sunshine bright
Sebastian and Bachira: Moonlit sky
Yulaw had taken the early lead, but Sebastian was starting to catch up. Though the others weren't too far behind. Adrien and Marinette were third and fourth respectively with Kagami and Haizaki both switching between fifth and sixth between each other. Randy wasn't too far behind. Kunigami, however, was the one that was noticeably picking up speed as he went along.
Marinette: Sky's your morning
Puss: Cloud's too high
Adrien: Cloud's too high
Haizaki: Sky's too high
Skipper and Puss were in a foot(or in this case, skate) race with one another. The same could be said for Adrien and Marinette as both pairs were trying to overtake the other.
Puss: Sky's your morning
Adrien and Marinette: Cloud's too high
Kurita: Sunshine bright
Alejandro: Moonlit sky
Kurita was trying his best, though he was struggling with keeping his balance.
Yulaw: Sky's too high
*Instrumental break*
"Yulaw! Can you hear me?" Cicini said into Yulaw's ear as he attempted to knock Sebastian out of the way but dodged the attempt.
Sebastian smirked and attempted to retaliate but Yulaw anticipated it and swayed back. Though he turned and saw the bench at the last second, forcing him to have to jump over it.
"Yes. I'm busy at the moment. As you can probably see." Yulaw replied.
"Not much we can do to help to be honest. At the very least, we know it works." Old Bennett said.
"Too bad we can't say the same for Hiruma's plan." Lanolin said as Kurita was struggling to stay on two feet.
"Outta the way!" Haizaki said as he and Kagami passed him with Haizaki almost bumping into him, and not really caring too much if he did as he would have tried to knock him down.
Alejandro and Sly looked at each other as they were about to overtake Kurita.
"Honestly, I hate even seeing him here. And I don't mean that in a bad way." Sly said.
"Same here." Alejandro said before trying to get Kurita to fall by charging into him, only for lineman to not budge. He looked and saw Kurita coming at him and looked in a bit of surprise and horror before being knocked away and into a tree.
"Ouch! That's gotta hurt." Chris said.
"What the heck just happened!?" Courtney said.
"Looks like Alejandro's not as great as the choice you thought he'd be." Duncan said.
"GO KURITAAAAA!" Monta yelled.
A devilish smile appeared on Hiruma's face.
Kurita: Sky's too high
Sly: Cloud's too high
Haizaki: Cloud's too high
Kagami: Moonlit sky
"He's fast. Sure, he was faster than I thought he'd be when we played in the Winter Cup. But….. it's like he's gotten even faster since then." Kise thought, referring to Haizaki as he watched the race with him being able to hold his own pretty well, keeping up with Kagami and being able to outrun experienced skaters like Richie.
Richie: Sky's too high
Tangle: Cloud's too high
Sly: Sunshine bright
Tangle and Sly: Moonlit sky
Tangle tried using her tail to stop Sly and trip him up as they were passing by two lampposts on opposite sides of each other but he acrobatically flipped in the air over it, while still having on the ATs.
"Wow. What an acrobatic move from Sly there. Not many can say they pull that off and keep the ATs on!" Chris commented.
However, he wasn't done yet. He pulled out his cane, mid-air, grabbed Tangle's tail with his cane and sent her flying!
"OH NOOOOOOOOOO!" Tangle yelled as she flew over everyone's head.
"The hell's goin' on back there?" Kagami commented before being shoulder tackled out of the way by Haizaki as he wasn't looking.
"I'd worry about what's goin' on up here!" Haizaki said.
"Damn it!" Kagami said, at a complete stand still before getting back moving to try and catch up.
"Tangle grab on!" Cat Noir said, extending his staff for Tangle to catch on to.
"Thanks for the save!" Tangle said.
"No problem!" Cat Noir said.
"Outta the way cat boy!" Haizaki said, navigating his way through Tangle, Randy and Adrien, passing Marinette easily.
"Figures. It was only a matter of time." Kise thought, noticing that the move he used to get through both of them without losing too much speed within that window was one of Kise's former teammates and captain, Kasamatsu's agility-based moves that he stole during his game against Kise's team Kaijo. The move's rhythm and pace was altered, a staple of his Pillage ability, but there was no mistaking that that was one of Kasamatsu's moves.
Tangle: Sky's too high
Adrien and Haizaki: Cloud's too high
Marinette: Sunshine bright
Randy: Moonlit sky
*Long Instrumental Break*
"Hey that butler's not too bad." Axl said as he and Yulaw continued to fight for first as they made their way onto the streets. Both figuratively and literally. Though Yulaw was more of the aggressor.
"Neither is Yulaw." Karin said.
"He's a demon. I'm not too surprised to be honest." Rei said, referring to Sebastian.
"Guessing you've dealt with stuff like this before?" Kurt asked.
"Yeah. I'm a Shrine Priestess." Rei said.
"Wait, really?" Reimu said, surprised to know there was someone else that was a Shrine Priestess.
"Yeah. Seeing this stuff happening isn't too surprising to me to be honest." Rei said.
"How much money do you get there?"
"Honestly, I'm not too sure. I'd say a fair enough amount I guess. We sell merchandise like amulets and fortunes to visitors and have a decent amount of them, if that helps. Why'd you ask?"
"No reason." Reimu said, trying to hide the fact that she was a little envious.
"Judging from your face and the fact that you're a shrine maiden yourself, looks like it's not doing so well when it comes to money is it?" Rei asked.
"Well….."
Rei gave her a reassuring smile. "Hey don't worry about it, I'm not going to laugh at you for that or rub it in if that's what you're thinking. Honestly, I hope everything goes well for your shrine. Though I guess some of it is a bit of bias since I'm a shrine maiden myself." Rei said.
"Check out Dwayne's moves." Virgil said.
"Yeah, that dude's definitely got it." Dewey said.
This caused Rei and Reimu to look back at the screen.
"For all of the people I expected to be my dance partner, I didn't expect it to be you." Bachira said to Dwayne.
"Heh. That's my passion of Jazz dance for ya. I got hidden talents too bowl cut." He said to Bachira.
"His footwork's pretty good." Ryoma Echizen commented, referring to Dwayne as the two continued to battle in an odd battle between a very proficient soccer dribbler and a man that had a passion for Jazz dance. Both were trying to trip each other up so they could advance but they just couldn't.
"Hey, how 'bout I show you some of my moves too?" Johnny said, getting in front of the screen, dancing only for people to complain.
"Could you get out of the way of the screen? No one wants to see your dance moves." Sucy said.
Rocky didn't take Sucy's hint and joined him, playing the violin as he did.
"You either." Sucy said.
"Come on cheer up! Maybe a little music is what you need to make you smile."
"My joy will be from your suffering." Sucy said in a deadpan, but creepy manner.
"She doesn't really mean that. Right?" Toxsa asked Akko.
"You'll find out whenever I get access to my magic again." Sucy said.
"Wait, timeout. You guys can do magic?" Hinata asked.
"You mean it wasn't clear when we mentioned that like the twenty other times we said it? Or when Lotte mentioned WitchNet?" Sucy said.
"Come on Sucy don't be mean." Akko said.
"I'm not. I'm just asking. It's not my fault they weren't listening." Sucy said.
"But yeah, it's true. From what Akko told me, their source of magic only reaches out so far." Luz said.
"Unfortunately, this isn't one of those places." Lotte said.
"What's your source of magic?" Sophie asked, curious.
"Yggdrasil." Diana answered.
"Yggdrasil? As in the mystical tree from Norse Mythology?" Sophie asked.
"Norse what? Sorry, I'm not followin'." Natsu said.
"Nerd alert incoming." Todd said.
"Yggdrasil is a cosmic tree that grew from the seed of commotion. It gave rise to all forms of magic in our world." Diana explained.
"At first, it was starting to wither away, but, long story short, Diana and I, with the help of Lotte, Sucy and some of our other friends, were able to restore it." Akko said.
"You're leaving out several details. Including-" Diana said, before being interrupted by Louie and Todd as they both cleared their throats, loudly.
"Yeah, no one cares." Todd said.
"Thanks for keeping it short Akko. As long as everything's fine that's all that matters, right?" Louie said.
"But I actually wanted to hear the rest of the details. It seemed pretty interesting." Becky B. said.
"Same here." Riley said.
"Of course you guys did." Todd said. "Unfortunately, we don't. I came to hurt people and laugh at people getting hurt, in person, not for magic history class. Right, Huey?"
"Honestly, I don't have much of a comment on this. I'm not much of a magic guy." Huey D. said.
"Interesting. It seems your Yggdrasil differs from what's mentioned in Norse Mythology. Does it by any chance connect to the Nine R-" Sophie started.
"Didn't you hear me? We don't care." Todd said.
"Look it's fine if you don't want to listen, but you don't have to be rude about it." Weiss said. "Perhaps if you did, you could learn a thing or two."
"Again, I came here to get away from school. Not to be in it again." Todd said.
"I mean technically, you're learning something every day. Even the ATs took some learnin'." Huey F. said.
"Not the same thing. See that's actually fun." Todd said.
Huey F. only raised an eyebrow at his comment.
"It's too bad you sucked at it." Miyuki commented.
"Yeah, well at least I sucked at it less than you!" Todd said.
"Both of you are sitting here watching, so it really doesn't make much of a difference. If that's the case, then both of you suck." Tsukishima said.
"By that logic, I suppose that means you're not good either." Octavia remarked, which only made Tsukishima annoyed as he realized the mistake he made.
"Well, she got you there." Scott said.
"Quiet!" Tsukishima said.
"I get it. So basically, this digging seal tree is the source of magic where you come from." Natsu concluded.
"Yggdrasil. That's not even close to what I said. But yes. That is the source of all magic." Diana said.
"Eh. Close enough." Natsu said before taking his attention back to the race.
"What do you mean close enough!? How are people supposed to- never mind."
"Unconventional, but it works. Just goes to show that you can't judge a book by its cover." Isagi thought as he observed the race. "If anything, because how different their styles are, it's just impossible for either of them to gain the upper hand. Dance and soccer." Isagi tried his hardest to not laugh as this was the last thing he expected to see.
"Hey hero, come on and join us." Bachira said to Kunigami, all smiles as he was genuinely having fun in his battle between him and Dwayne.
"Pi[censored] off." Kunigami said before increasing his speed to get past them. Jotaro was also right behind him.
Dwayne could only shrug at Bachira only for both to be knocked out of the way by a raging bull, literally. Taurus powered through both of them with Lucy being right behind him.
"Make way for the lady!" Taurus said.
Dwayne was knocked into some boxes while Bachira's fell face first into the ground.
Fiona and Leopatra were not too far behind.
"Jotaro's a lot faster than I thought he'd be. He's able to keep up with Kunigami pretty well. Not sure if everyone else has noticed, but he's been silently doing well this entire race. Maybe not as fast as Sebastian or Yulaw, but still….really impressive." Isagi thought.
Next to Isagi, Maki was silently looking at someone else.
"I don't get it. He was struggling to stand on his own two feet at the beginning. What's going on?" Maki thought, looking at Kurita, who was handling himself pretty well, catching up to Kageyama and knocking him out of the way, though it was unintentional. "The same thing with Richie. I didn't think someone like him would be struggling the way he is."
He goes to check on Kageyama, whose face was covered in trash.
"Are you okay?" Kurita asked, taking the trash can off him with ease.
"Yeah, thanks I-" Kageyama started before seeing who was talking to him.
"You knocked me into it and now you're asking if I'm okay!?" Kageyama yelled.
"Go Kurita! What are you doing?" Natsu called out.
Hiruma silently observed, his usual evil/devilish smile no longer on his face as he watched the action unfold.
Kageyama: Sky's your morning
Kurita: Cloud's too high
Richie: Sunshine bright
Fiona: Moonlit sky
"Yo, what's up with Richie man?" Virgil said.
"You're just noticing? He hasn't been doing well since the first part of the race." Myron said.
"I was hoping he was gonna get better. You know, shake off the bad start. But I'm getting' worried now." Virgil said.
"I'm doing well, but not as well as I should. What the heck is going on? And it feels like I'm getting worse as time goes on." Richie thought.
Yulaw: The truth
Sebastian: The truth
Bachira and Dwayne: The truth shall set you free
"Hey Haizaki." Cat Noir said, catching up to him, causing Haizaki to turn his head to see him and the others starting to catch up to him with not much of an issue.
"Just so you know, this 'Cat Boy' has got a name." He said. "It's Cat Noir!" He said, before getting to the side of him.
"You really think I give a s[censored]?" Haizaki said before trying to knock him out of the way only for the Paris superhero to easily dodge the attempt.
"Guess that's too hard for you. So instead, you can just call me the guy that left you in the dust!" Cat Noir said before easily sped past him to the surprise and anger of Haizaki with several others passing him as well, which only angered him even more.
"Comin' through!" Randy said.
Lucy: Sky's too high
Sebastian and Yulaw: Cloud's too high
Sly: Cloud's too high
Marinette: Moonlit sky
Both Sebastian and Yulaw continued fighting as they both completely ignored the fact that there were cars passing through.
"Are they crazy!?" Lucy said.
Sly, Skipper and Puss also jumped on top of two cars that passed, taking and third, fourth and fifth respectively in the race.
"Okay, that's three more." Lucy said before Marinette used her yo-yo to swing herself upwards, Tangle used her tail to jump from lamppost to lamppost to get safely across and Adrien used his staff to vault himself forward over the traffic while Randy was able to acrobatically jump over each of the cars.
"I'll shut up now." Lucy said before someone else crossed through.
Everyone else waited until the crossing turned green, with Richie being the last to get there, starting to slowly get tired.
Lucy turned and saw that Haizaki didn't exactly have the same smug confident look he had on his face before.
"Looks like someone's not happy. What's wrong?" Lucy mocked Haizaki.
"Shut up." Haizaki said, balling up his fists in frustration, with it also being started to be heard in his voice. "I'm just getting' started! This ain't over."
"Makes sense. Haizaki's fast. On the court, outside of us and maybe even the Uncrowned Kings, he's undeniably the best player. At least when it comes to high school in Japan. But here, none of that matters. If anything, with what I've seen, we're nothing compared to guys like them. Even if we count the fact that we've constantly gotten stronger over the years, including before and after the Jabberwock game, maybe even including Haizaki to an extent, it won't make a difference." Kise thought as he watched Sebastian and Yulaw continue to go at it along with Ladybug, Cat Noir, Sly and Tangle also continuing to race with Skipper and Puss also continuing to battle as well.
"Hey Richie, you alright?" Kageyama asked, genuinely concerned as he looked like he was tired.
"Yeah. A little tired but….. I'll make it." Richie said, giving a thumbs up.
"He's lying. He's more than just a little tired. He might be trying to hide it, but his tank's runnin' low." Sendo thought, looking at his legs. "I know tired legs when I see 'em." He said, using his experience as a boxer. He had to admit that he wasn't a hundred percent sure, but he had a gut feeling that that was what was happening with Richie.
Fiona and Lucy: Sky's your morning
Yulaw: Cloud's too high
Sly and Randy: Sunshine bright
Sebastian: Moonlit sky
"A demon that's also a butler. Who exactly would hire you after knowing that?" Yulaw asked Sebastian as they continued to battle for first.
"If I gave you the full the details here the race would be over before I could finish. So I'll simply leave you with this one reason to answer your question. I am simply one hell of a butler." Sebastian said before using a ramp to go upwards to a rooftop to the surprise of Yulaw.
Because he had already passed it, and with the others not too far behind, he thought it would have been a waste of time to try and go back to try and get to Sebastian that way. Instead, he would attempt to just be faster than him on the ground.
Sly tried to attack Randy with his cane, but Randy was about to use of one of his own skills against him. "Nice try." Randy said, jumping over Sly's cane swipe and was about to grab his tail before Tangle grabbed both of them.
"This isn't good." Randy said.
"Ya think?" Sly said to him before both were flung away.
"See ya!" Tangle said, bidding them farewell before going to try and catch up to Sebastian and Yulaw.
"Hey Falcon, is there any chance Apollus is like him?" Ryoma asked the 19th century pilot.
"Come on, you should know the answer to that. And that's no offense to Apollus." Falcon said.
"I guess so." Ryoma said.
"To be honest, living with a butler that you know is a demon would be kinda scary." Ayame said.
"I don't know. If he's loyal, there's not too much to worry about, right?" Mona reasoned.
"Yeah. I mean, who wouldn't want a butler that can do that? He keeps stuff clean and he can kick butt? And he doesn't have to sleep. So it's a 2-in-1 deal. You get a butler, and a walking security system. You can forget about anybody breakin' into your home." Zee said.
"He's a demon. Would you really not be worried about the fact that he might kill you just knowing that alone?" Reagan asked.
"Also, if he's a demon, there's nothing saying that he's not a liar right?" Bren asked.
"Hmm, you've got a point. But, you could put something in the contract when you hire him that says that he could never lie to you." Mona reasoned.
Zee points to his brain. "Now that's a big brain move Mona."
"You know, that's honestly a fair point." Courtney said.
***Confessional***
Courtney(Storm Kings):
"You know, maybe Mona's smarter than what she lets on. Making a contract with a demon that says you can't lie to them? Not bad. First Isagi, and now Mona. Sly's shown he's a good acrobat. And as creepy as it is knowing a demon is on my team, Sebastian seems like he's pretty good. Plus, he's a butler so he'll definitely keep things clean. Heck, as annoying as I know Todd is going to be, he won us a challenge, so he might be pretty good too. Am I actually….. liking this team?"
***End Confessional***
***Confessional***
Falcon(Wave Breakers):
"Hey, I know Apollus might not be as quick or can do any of the other things Sebastian can do, but there's no one I'd rather have as a butler, and as a friend than him. He'd go to the ends of the world just to help me and my family. Literally. The guy, by himself has somehow found his way to where I am during my travels when I least expect him to, even in my quest to find my father, so he's a lot more resourceful than you think. Plus, the idea having a demon as a butler kinda creeps me out."
***End Confessional***
***Confessional***
Zee(Radical Rats):
"Look, I know everybody's freakin' out over the demon butler stuff. But I think it's pretty cool. Long as you set some boundaries like Mona did in the contract, you're good. And if he breaks 'em, then just fire him."
***End Confessional***
Kageyama: Sky's your morning
Lucy: Cloud's too high
Kagami: Sunshine bright
Fiona: Moonlit sky
"This is taking too long. I've got to do something or we'll fall too far behind." Lucy thought as the light was still red.
"Come on! What's taking so long!" Kageyama said.
Lucy snapped her fingers. "I've got it!"
"Thanks for your help Taurus." Lucy said to the bull.
Yulaw and Sebastian: Sky's too high
Song Stops
"Anything for a pretty lady like you." Taurus said which only made Lucy sigh as he returned to the spirit world.
"Wait, you're callin' him back? Why?" Kagami asked.
"You'll see." Lucy said, smiling.
She then pulled out another key.
"Open! Gate of the Maiden! Virgo!"
A maid with pink hair with shackles around her wrist, short pink hair and blue eyes appeared.
"A maid? That's your answer?" Haizaki said.
"Do you ever just shut up?"
"Hate to say it, but I kinda agree with Haizaki here." Kagami said.
"Just be patient and watch!" Lucy said, annoyed.
"It's good to see you again, princess. How may I assist you?" Virgo asked Lucy.
"Yeah. I've got a bit of a problem." She said, before directing Virgo's attention to the traffic.
"I see. Well then, I'll be more than happy to help solve it." Virgo said before instantly burrowing underground.
"The hell!?" Kagami said as he, Haizaki and Kageyama all had shocked looks on their faces.
"What kind of place did I sign up to!?" Kageyama said.
"So she's good for diggin' huh? Quite a toolset with those spirits." Dwayne said, a little surprised himself that a maid could do something like that, but impressed that Lucy has something like that at her disposal, and was able to come up with a solution like that during the challenge.
"Wow." Fiona said.
"Woah. Check out how quick she is!" Akko said. "Hey Natsu, how many spirits does Lucy have?"
"Honestly, I don't really keep count. I just know she has a lot. And they're all awesome." Natsu said.
"You got that right." Akko said.
"All right! Nice one Lucy!" Kagami said as he went through the hole that Virgo dug along with Lucy.
"I've got an idea!" Fiona thought, smiling.
The others followed as well.
"What the-" Lucy said.
"Thanks for the help." Haizaki said.
"Go! Satellite Owl!" Fiona declared, still above ground.
"Great. I didn't think about the fact that I'd give them a path too." Lucy thought.
"Looks like Fiona's got a plan. Wonder what she's got in mind." Myron thought.
"Go Fiona!" Kaz cheered.
The power stone flashed a rainbow-like color, indicating that one of the car's special abilities had been activated. The drone-shaped satellite attached to Infinite Leopatra detached from the back of it, revealing it's blue glowing eyes and yellow metal beak.
"It's time to go under!" Fiona said before the satellite went underground with them. Though Fiona waited along with Infinite Leopatra.
"Wait, she's not going under?" Kaz said.
"What the heck is she thinking?" Diego said.
Shiro, arms folded, continued to silently watch, now focusing his attention more on Fiona then the other parts of the race.
"Almost there!" Lucy said. The satellite owl suddenly sped past them, something that everyone noticed.
"What was that?" Dwayne said.
It was the first above ground.
Leopatra's first theme plays(Again, the soundtrack isn't on youtube. Think of a theme with violins and the occasional guitar riffs to fit Fiona and her personality)
"Now! Blow wind!" Fiona declared. Even though the satellite couldn't hear the command, because Leopatra was still around, by extension, the Satellite Owl was able to get the command as it spun above the whole, blowing a large gust of wind that even pushed Virgo back as she didn't expect it. Dark clouds began to form in the area above the hole.
"DON'T EVER UNDERESTIMATE SCAN2GO! CALL FORTH! THUNDER LEAP!" Fiona declared passionately as Toto was atop of her, cheering.
Lightning came from the clouds, hitting both Virgo and everyone else that was below and about to come out of the other hole wasn't on her team and sending them flying.
"She can call lightning strikes!?" Hinata said in shock.
"Virgo! Lucy! Oh no!" Natsu said.
"Using the satellite owl to determine where to call the lightning strike. Smart." Shiro said, more to himself than anyone else. Though it wasn't seen by anyone, he could be seen smiling a little.
"That's it Fiona! Nice!" Diego said.
"And best of all, because she used the thunder leap instead of a direct lightning strike, the ATs wouldn't be destroyed! Brilliant!" Myron said.
"Heh. Looks like we're home free." Haizaki said, smiling before seeing that one person that wasn't on their team was unscathed. Jotaro.
"Huh?" Haizaki said, his smile disappearing.
When they all got above ground, Fiona was surprised.
"What? No way! I was sure it got all of them!" Fiona said as she went across the street along with Infinite Leopatra.
"Doesn't matter. 'Cause he's outta here!" Haizaki said before trying to trip him up. But when that didn't work, he tried to outright punch him but it was stopped by Star Platinum.
Haizaki tried to move his fist forward but couldn't.
"What….. the hell!?" Haizaki said, putting more strength into his fist before the Stand grabbed him and tossed him into Kunigami, Kageyama, and Dwayne, knocking them down. Kurita tripped and fell over them, with Bachira jumping over them.
"Wait, how were the others able to survive that strike? It's not like she's able to actually see under the ground since she wasn't there." Ruby R. said.
"Easy. Thanks to the Satellite Owl passing through, she already knew when and where to place the lightning strikes. And, they'll only target whoever Fiona wants them to." Myron explained.
"Don't worry. You're not getting away this time! Satellite Owl! Elevate!" Fiona declared. The Owl went higher in the air, near where the rooftops were.
"Scan2Go Race or not, I refuse to lose! Give it all you've got Leopatra!"
"What's… going on?" Yulaw said, having to shield himself from the sudden strong gust of wind.
"Take evasive action!" Skipper said, looking for cover. Puss did the same, almost losing his hat in the process.
Clouds were beginning to form above the rooftop.
"Now Infinite Leopatra! Go!" She said before it activated its available turbo boost, increasing its speed, shooting out ahead of Fiona and getting past Jotaro.
"Now it's time to close the curtain! Again! Thunder Leap!" Fiona declared.
She called forth another lightning strike, hitting everyone but her own teammates and sending them all flying with all of them losing their skates with the extra force. But Jotaro wasn't affected again. Or at least it wasn't enough to slow him down. Puss was sent flying while Skipper grabbed onto a water tower at the last second.
Sebastian sighs. "What a bother." He said on the ground as his clothes were dirtied.
"What just happened?" Sly said.
"Beats me." Tangle said, next to him.
"We're going to lose again!?" Akko said.
Puss was still flying, only to be caught by someone.
"Thank you. You have my gratitude." Puss said, looking up to see who it was that saved him. It was Kagami. But…. he looked different somehow.
"Again?" Kaz said.
"That was a direct hit! What's going on?" Myron said.
Even Shiro was surprised.
"Again!" Fiona declared. Another lightning strike. Unsuccessful.
"Again!"
Nothing.
"Enough with the lightning strikes!" Jotaro said.
"ORA!"
The satellite owl was knocked away, punched by Star Platinum and sent sky high.
"My Satellite Owl!" Fiona said.
"What just happened? It's like he just blew it away without lifting a finger!" Natsu said.
"Could that have been….. his…. Stand?" Isagi thought.
"The tower's ahead!" Sendo said.
"How did…" Fiona said in shock.
Jojo's Biazarre Adventure: Stardust Crusaders: Stardust Crusaders(Jotaro's theme plays)
"I found it pretty odd that you were the only one not following when I saw that owl. So I figured it came from you and that machine of yours." Jotaro began to explain.
Flashback
"DON'T EVER UNDERESTIMATE SCAN2GO! CALL FORTH! THUNDERRRRR!" Fiona declared passionately.
Lightning came from the clouds, shocking both Virgo and everyone else that was below and about to come out of the other hole wasn't on her team.
"Star Platinum!"
The Stand blocked the lightning strike from overhead while the others were shocked.
End Flashback
"That machine's small but it's got some power. Taking multiple lightning strikes was something Star Platinum could handle, but that didn't mean it didn't leave any scratches. I can see why you kids love Scan2Go so much. But unfortunately IT'S NOT GONNA BE ENOUGH!" Jotaro said before moving in close enough for Star Platinum to attack it and knock it away.
"ORA!"
"NO! Leopatra!" Fiona called out.
"Looks like her machine's down for the count!" Chris said, as it was flipped over on its side. Although he hit it enough to knock it away, it wasn't enough to destroy it, something that Jotaro intentionally did.
"The heck is going on!? Is this guy a Jedi or something?" Reagan said before Din raised an eyebrow under his helmet at her statement.
"How do you know about the Jedi?" Din asked.
"Star Wars." Reagan said before looking at the armor, really paying attention to it for the first time. "Ohhhh! Right. You…. probably wouldn't get it."
Skipper had dropped down beside him.
"Looks like we're the last two soldier." Skipper said to Jotaro.
"Don't count me out yet! I'm not giving up!" Fiona said.
"This girl's persistent. Admirable. But annoying." Skipper said. "Throw me. Straight to the tower." He said to Jotaro. "Even if you can't get me there, it'll be close enough."
"Looks like a penguin's going to fly after all." Jotaro said before Star Platinum grabbed him.
"I don't think so." Haizaki said, back up again after kicking an angry Kunigami out of the way.
"I don't know what that s[censored] was you pulled before, but it ain't happenin' again. It's over!" He said before going in Jotaro's rhythm.
"OHHHHH!" Star Platinum prepared for a pitch unlike any other. The baseball? Skipper. He put on some goggles.
"What's he doing?" Sucy asked.
"What are you…" Haizaki said.
"He's using his Stand again." Isagi thought.
"Heh. This'll be good." Tsukishima said.
"No it isn't you moron! We might lose!" Dan said.
"ORAAAAAAA!" Star Platinum threw Skipper straight at the tower.
"What?" Fiona said, looking overhead at Skipper flying.
"Alright, I'm done." Ikki said after taking some additional deliveries before seeing a penguin flying in the distance.
"What in the world?" Ikki said before dismissing it and continuing to head towards home. "Guess I've been working for too long. Now I'm seeing penguins flying."
Within seconds, Skipper was at the tower and grabbed the sticker before he made his way back down.
Haizaki turned back towards Jotaro, utter shock on his face. The same face that he made when Kise began to copy the Miracles for the first time, unlocking Perfect Copy.
"What was that? 'Cause I sure as hell ain't see you do a damn thing!" Haizaki said.
"I've already been told that you can steal moves. But….. you can't steal what you can't see." Jotaro said.
"What? What the hell are you talkin' about?"
"What's the matter? You had all those things to say to everyone before this challenge started. And now you've got nothin' to say but that? Give me a break." Jotaro said.
"I don't know what kinda magical bulls[censored] you're tryna pull. But you're not gonna get away with sayin' some s[censored] like that to me!" Haizaki said before going in to throw a punch only for Jotaro himself to dodge it without Star Platinum before punching him himself.
"Be glad that it wasn't my Stand that hit you or it would have been far worse. I'm done wasting my breath on a piece of work like you. Your team will figure out what to do with you. If they even decide to keep you around with that attitude of yours." Jotaro said before moving on to help Skipper.
"Wow." Chef said.
"Wow's right. I am speechless right now man." Chris said.
Aomine, Kuroko, Hanamiya, and the other Miracles remained silent after the ordeal. But it wasn't because they were surprised at all. Especially Aomine. If anything, he believed that that was what he deserved.
Kagami and Puss had caught up to Lucy who had recovered.
"Nice to see you're back Kagami, we can still get second if-" Lucy started before Kagami interrupted him.
"No. I already told you….." Kagami started before revealing his eyes, which had red electricity coming out of them.
"We ain't losing this game!" Kagami said before he, with Puss trailing behind him sped through to try and catch up.
After seeing his eyes, the Miracles, Kuroko, Hiruma and Hanamiya all had shocked and surprised looks on their faces.
"What's going on? Why are his eyes like that?" Hailey asked.
"He's in." Aomine said, speaking for the first time since the challenge started.
"In what? What is it?" Luz asked.
"The zone." Kise said.
"The zone? You mean like when you're really focused on something right?" Chris P. sked.
"Yes. But in this case, it's a lot more than just that." Kise started to explain before Natsu caused them all to look back at the screen.
"Check out Kagami!" Natsu said.
"He has to be cheating! There's no way anyone can go that far!" Courtney said.
Kagami had jumped off a ramp, as his hangtime was so long that a shocked Fiona stood there. Even Jotaro was surprised.
"Maybe it's the ATs?" Luz reasoned.
"Uh uh. The ATs are helpin' a bit. But most of it's Kagami." Aomine said.
"Are you serious?" Hinata said, being a high jumper himself. But he was still shocked.
"Deadly. That's Kagami's gift. That's one of the many things that makes him the 'Miracle that never was'. Another player with abilities just as great as ours. One that we could truly say was our equal. Even over the Uncrowned Kings." Aomine said.
"Though I suppose it also helped that he timed his jump at the peak of the ramp, maximizing his height. Anything earlier and he probably wouldn't have enough to even have a chance at clearing the jump." Midorima said.
"In other words, he's a Space Jam character IRL." Reagan said, still amazed at the fact that Kagami could jump that far by himself. The ramp wasn't a crazy distance but it was right next to it either. No normal person would be able to jump that far. Not even any of the Miracles could.
"Come on! Give me everything! Every last drop! Whatever it takes to win!" Kagami thought as he was still in the air, trying to get to the tower. Everything felt as if it was in slow motion. But eventually, that feeling of flying forever was starting to go away. He was starting to fall.
"Come on! COME ON!" Kagami said, trying to will himself forward. Skipper had already got back to the ground and was making his way back to the finish with Jotaro. Although his Stand was more than capable of throwing him again, the issue was figuring out where to throw him too as the finish line wasn't in sight.
"He's not gonna make it!" Kurt said.
"Ha haaa!" Puss said, before jumping on top of him and then jumping again to quickly get the sticker.
"Know that you will never be alone!" Puss said to Kagami.
Kagami had to grab on to one of the other parts of the tower a little under where Puss was before climbing up.
"That's insane. He went into the Zone here of all places? How? And why?" Kise thought.
"Lucy! Get Virgo to dig a hole!" Kagami called out. "As close to the starting line as you can!"
"I'm not sure what you've got planned but….. after seeing that, I trust you!" Lucy said.
"Right away princess." Virgo said before using the Diver Earth Magic spell again.
"Might sound weird but, could you get in my hand? Fair warning. You're gonna have to hang on tight." Kagami said to Puss.
"Do what you must. I am ready for whatever you have planned." Puss said before getting in his hand.
"Then if that's the case…" Kagami said before jumping high in the air again.
"WHATEVER IT TAKES! EVEN IF I DON'T HAVE ANY TYPE OF MAGIC OR POWERS I DON'T GIVE A DAMN! I'M GONNA GIVE IT MY ALL! WE'RE GONNA WIN! DO YOU HEAR ME!?" Kagami shouted as he was in the air.
"OHHHHH!" Star Platinum could see the finish line now, even if they weren't even in the park yet, preparing for a throw.
"Is he…." Kise said as Kagami had his arm back as if he was preparing for a dunk.
"GO! PUSS AND KAGAMI!" Natsu, Falcon, MacArthur, Rei, Sendo, Monta and Akko shouted.
"GO! JOTARO AND SKIPPER!" Luz, Yang, Ruby R., Dewey and Huey D., and Isagi shouted.
"HAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!" Kagami yelled as he was airborne.
"ORAAAAAAAAAAAAA!" Star Platinum yelled, throwing Skipper towards the finish line.
Kagami hurls Puss down into the hole with incredible force. So much, there was blue lightning trailing behind Puss as he was launched.
Music Stops
Everyone looked on in shock, anticipation and/or anxiousness after what happened, including Heloise, Chris and Chef. Though Zee was shown drinking a soda when the camera went to him.
Skipper flew across the finish line but right into Priya, giving her another black eye with Todd laughing only for him to get hit in the butt by Puss's sword as he came out of the ground, sending Todd flying upwards into the sky.
"I've got her!" Monta said, trying to catch Priya, only for him to be sent flying back as well into a bench.
"Are you okay? Thanks!" Priya said, getting off of him.
"You're welcome… to the max." Monta said, giving a thumbs up, disoriented before putting his face back into the ground.
"A meteor jam!?" Kise said in shock, recognizing what he used with Puss being said signature move. Though in the fearless hero's case, he was the ball. After he said this, Todd fell on him.
"Oh man. Thanks for breaking my fall buddy." Todd said.
"No problem." Kise said, disoriented while on the ground.
"Kagami you ba[censored]d." Aomine said, grinning as he said it. He wasn't annoyed by what Kagami did. If anything, it amused him more than anything else.
"This is gonna be a close one! Roll the replay footage!" Chris said.
Footage of Puss appearing from underground as the path that Virgo made was straight past the finish line,with Skipper crossing the finish line was replayed constantly.
Skipper put the sticker on his goggles and reached out with them while Puss tried to put the sticker on his sword, reaching upwards with it.
"The problem is, Puss was underground. How the heck are we going to know if he already crossed before Skipper?" Chris asked.
"You make a good point . Hmm…" Chris said.
"We got in by actually crossing it first, not digging there like they did." Heather said.
"And? That doesn't mean much to be honest." Rally said.
"Yes it does! You cheated. So you lose." Heather said.
"Actually, no. There was nothing in the rules saying you couldn't go underground, or couldn't get thrown. So… I'll call it…" Chris said, as the two teams waited for the response anxiously.
…..
…..
…..
…..
…..
…..
…..
…..
…..
…..
"A draw!"
"Seriously?" Kise asked.
"What!?" Courtney said.
"Yep! We can't determine for a fact when Puss got across so we'll call it a draw, no sudden death. And that's because…" Chris said as Fiona came across with the sticker last for her team.
"The Wave Breakers came in last! You lose guys! Enjoy economy class! And an elimination!" Chris said. Eventually, everyone else returned.
"Richie, you alright man? You're lookin' a lot more exhausted than usual." Virgil said.
"Yeah. I don't know what happened." Richie said.
"You were a total shoob, that's what. Seriously man, that was bad. Totally not bruce." Randy said.
"Bruce? Shoob? The hell? Is this some parody for how kids talk these days or something? Am I getting that old?" Reagan said.
"Nah. I've never heard kids say this s[censored] in my life. Not even Morty would say crap like that." Rick said.
"What does that mean anyway? Is that like some lingo you use in your world?" Morty asked.
"You guys seriously don't know that stuff? Guess I can teach ya." Randy said. "So shoob is like noob. Or that you're a dork, idiot, loser, you get it. Someone calls you that, it's probably not a good thing. Then there's bruce. Not like that name. Like awesome, cool, radical. I'll teach you guys the rest another time."
"So if that's the case, I can definitely say that Kagami and Puss are so bruce." Zee said.
"True. So true. We lost. Buuut, it was still pretty bruce." Randy said.
"As for these two teams, both of you get to enjoy the prize of food from the Noyamanos!" Chris said.
"Alright! Some food and first class! This couldn't be any better!" Rei said before hugging Kagami. "Kagami I could kiss you right now! You get some cuddles Puss!"
"That was nothing. However, I do appreciate a good cuddle once in a while." Puss said to Rei
Kagami's eyes returned to normal, indicating that he was no longer in the Zone. "Nah. You don't gotta do all that. I mean you guys would do the same for me, right? If anything, I'll take some food as an appreciation gesture. I'm starving." Kagami said to Rei dismissively, waving it off, exhausted, but blushing a little after hearing that. His knees began to buckle.
"Hey!" Rei said, not expecting him to just fall in that instant.
Kuroko was the first to catch him with Natsu and Sendo also being there.
"Judging from how he's looking, I don't think he's going to be able to move for a bit." Adrien said. "But he earned it."
"Those were some high jumps. Make sense it'd take that much of a toll on his legs along with the skating." Young Bennett said.
"Hey. Kagami." Jotaro said.
"We'll take you on anytime pal!" Natsu said to him.
"Pipe down. He ain't talkin' to you." Sendo said.
"It's not like Kagami can really say anything!" Natsu said.
"I'm good. What's up?" Kagami said to Jotaro.
"To be able to jump like that. That's one hell of a jump. And you don't seem like a Stand user. What was that?" Jotaro asked.
"Huh? Oh that. I was in the Zone. Though, to be honest, Lucy helped too. Without her and Virgo what I did wouldn't have meant anything anyway. I don't know what that was you did, but it's incredible, whatever it was. You had us beat all by yourself. I should be asking you what that was you used." Kagami said to Jotaro.
"How the hell were you able to get into the Zone? This wasn't even a basketball game." Aomine asked.
"I guess because….. I really wanted to help my team win." Kagami said.
"Zone huh? Well then, I'm looking forward to seeing what else you can do." Jotaro said before walking to where the rest of his team was.
"Of course! That's his trigger! He found a way to trigger that outside of a game and enter the Zone! Awesome!" Kise said.
"I guess you've gotten really fond of your teammates already, if that's the case." Kuroko said to Kagami.
"Yeah. Guess you could say that. Honestly, it was because of the fact that I made a promise. I said we weren't gonna lose again. And I was gonna do everything in my power to make sure that didn't happen. Though, I guess Natsu's words about his guild were kinda runnin' in my head too." Kagami said.
"Wow. You really like us that much? That means a lot!" Priya said, still having the black eye.
"You seriously should get that checked." Old Bennett said.
"Glad I could inspire you." Natsu said to Kagami, smiling.
"Natsu? Inspiring someone? Of course it'd be someone like him." Lucy remarked.
"What's that supposed to mean? I can be inspiring!" Natsu said.
"Yeah!" Happy added.
"You know what? Forget what I said." Lucy said, dismissing it. She didn't want to spoil this for Kagami and the others.
"They're different in many ways, but all of them have very similar auras. Natsu, Sendo, and Kagami. All of their auras are red. But not out of anger. Out of passion." Dawn said.
"Auras? What are you talking about?" Akko asked.
"Don't worry. They may not make the best decisions, but I think it suits them very well. I can see why they get along so well even if they haven't known each other for that long." Dawn said. "As for you Akko, I sense a similar aura between you and Luz. Both of you want to be witches just like your idols. Although, not everyone is a fan of your energetic and uplifting personalities. Like Sucy."
"Well duh. That doesn't mean I hate her though." Sucy said. "I've got no comment on Luz."
"Of course not. You actually enjoy your friends, even if you're still not too much of a fan of Diana." Dawn said.
"Okay, this is getting creepy. How the heck do you know all of this stuff?" Noah asked.
"Easy! I can see people's auras. Like yours! I-" Dawn started before Noah stopped her.
"Stop right there. I'm good." Noah said.
***Confessional***
Noah(Radical Rats):
"A basketball player that can fly like it's a movie, a football player with guns, a guy that can just throw penguins and block lightning out of thin air by just standing there, a demon butler and now someone that can read auras. Whatever that means. As if the last season Chris did this in was weird enough. Next thing you're going to tell me is that Mr. Disappearing Act is an actual ghost." He said, the last part referring to Kuroko. "Or, get this. Mr. chill is secretly a robot. Why not? It's not out of the question. RC cars can call lightning strikes so….." He said, referring to Zee.
***End Confessional***
"Hey Dawn, could you read my aura?" Zee asked.
"Sure! You're aura is very yellow. So you're a very relaxed person. And your left leg is a prosthetic." Dawn said.
"Hey, it's all true. That is an awesome power Dawn." Zee said.
"Wait, your left leg is really a prosthetic?" Luz asked.
"Yep." Zee said.
"Huh. The more you know." Luz said.
"How did you lose your leg?" May asked.
"I lost if from bungee jumping from a helicopter into a piranha pit."
"Why would you do that?" Rally asked.
"Hey, lesson learned. Definitely not happenin' again." Zee said.
"Better question. Why do that in the first place?" Emma asked.
"Thought it would be fun."
"That's it?" Emma asked, eyebrow raised.
"Yep."
***Confessional***
Zee(Radical Rats):
"Actually, I was born like this. But I know people like to hear a cool story whenever people ask about it so I always tell 'em one. But enough about me, dude, did you see Jotaro!? He was just standin' there all cool while blocking that lightning! I know we're not on the same team but like, I gotta give props whenever it's due man. Same thing to Fiona. Those cars are cool. Where can I get one of those?"

"There's not much room in our home for you guys, so outside will have to do. Is that fine?" Rika asked.
"Sure." Kuroko said.
"Fine with me." Rally said.
"Great! Well, it's time to get to work." Ringo said before all four went inside to cook.
"Damn it!" Kunigami and Urien said simultaneously, both angered.
"I had them! And you got in my way!" Kunigami said to Haizaki.
"Aw shut the hell up." Haizaki said dismissively.
When Haizaki saw the anger in Kunigami's eyes, he added, "You got somethin' you wanna say to me? Huh?"
"Hey! Calm down you two!" Fiona said, getting in between them.
"Get outta my way!" Kunigami said to Fiona.
Urien performed an Aegis Reflector, separating all of them. "Quick bickering like children!"
"Maybe that would work better if they, you know, weren't actually kids?" Reagan said with Urien looking back at her with annoyance.
"You wanna have a problem with someone, talk to Richie! He's been the worst out of all of us." Haizaki said.
"You're right. What happened to that skill of yours that you showed off before!? You were garbage!" Urien said to him.
"At least he actually tried to participate." Fiona said.
"Everybody's got a bad game. It happens. Even if it was at the worst time." Virgil said.
"I know there's the whole thing of sometimes people not being to exactly perform well when cameras are on you but….. I don't know. He was doing okay in the beginning, then he just dropped off." Hinata said.
"Ringo did mention that this would make your lower muscles work harder than usual." Bakura said.
"But if Richie was experienced, then he shouldn't be feeling that drastic of fatigue. Especially in that short amount of time." Myron said.
"What exactly were you feeling when you were out there? Can you describe it?" Zoey asked.
"For whatever reason, it started to feel like I had to work harder as I continued to skate. And it makes sense if you're trying to go faster. But you shouldn't be forcing yourself. Even tricks take work but trying to force them won't lead to anything good." Richie said before getting up. "It'd be probably better if I showed you what I meant." He said before grabbing a pair of ATs.
After putting them on, he tried to go, with him eventually starting to feel his legs getting tired quicker than they normally do.
"Your timing's slightly off." Hanamiya said in the back.
"Huh?" Richie said, confused.
"Your rhythm. It's not the same as it was in the beginning." Hanamiya added, walking towards where the others were.
"You're not makin' any sense. Richie's rhythm shouldn't have anything to do with it. It looks the same." Virgil said.
"It may look the same but it's not." Hanamiya said. "His rhythm in the beginning was different during practice. Natural. Smooth. That's why he looked great. This one looks more forced."
"Uh…." Kaz said, confused.
"Alright. Guess I'm gonna have to show you." Hanamiya said.
He performed two punches. Two jabs and a hook.
"See that? Now I'm gonna do it again, at a slightly different pace and rhythm." Hanamiya said before doing the same thing. In the background, Aomine was reading a magazine, but his eyes widened after hearing that.
"Sorry I'm still not following." Hinata said.
"Even if you can't see it, he knows what he's talking about." Karin said, joining them. "The same can be applied for martial arts."
Ryoma pulls out his sword and does a few swings before doing so again, but unable to feel anything different.
"It's not something that you'll forcibly do. When you train and practice something like martial arts or skating, the ability to do a move at a certain rhythm and timing will already be trained in your head. Of course, not everything will be a hundred percent the same, but it'll be close. But in Richie's case, from what Hanamiya is explaining, it's not close enough. He's working harder than he should." Karin explained before turning to Richie. "Why did you choose to change your pace?"
"I didn't. I didn't even know I was doing that. That's the weird thing. It didn't start until the race." Richie said.
"I don't buy it. He's just trying to make excuses for why he sucked." Zak M. said.
"You can believe whatever you want. I won't try to change to your mind." Hanamiya said, shrugging before walking away to find a place to read.
As he was walking, he unknowingly bumps into Mayuzumi.
"Oh. Sorry." Hanamiya said to him as Mayuzumi scowled at him.
"Oh, hey it's you. Mayuzumi right? You used to go to Rakuzan. How's college life?" Hanamiya asked with Mayuzumi giving no response.
"I'm just asking since I'm going to be there next year. Was hoping you could help give an idea." He said, with him still not saying anything.
"Why the long face buddy? I said I was sorry." Hanamiya said.
Mayuzumi simply walked away, Light Novel in hand, something that Hanamiya noticed.
"What's that?"
"Nothing you'd care about."
"Try me."
Mayuzumi instead continued to walk.
"And people call me rude. Not my fault you're a failed copy."
Mayuzumi stopped.
"Am I wrong? What did Akashi even see in you to bring you in? I saw your last game at Rakuzan against Kuroko in the Winter Cup. Sure, you were doing well at first, but once he figured out how inexperienced you were with Misdirection he crushed you. I'll admit, you've got better fundamentals. And better physical characteristics. But other than that, there's nothing else you've got of value that's better."
"Answer this question for me and I'll leave you alone." Hanamiya said.
"Why are you even here? What do you even have to contribute to your team? And don't give me that sorry excuse for Misdirection as something either."
"Why do you need to know?"
"I don't. To be honest, I don't ever care about your answer. I just wanted to see if you even knew yourself. And from the sound of things, you don't."
"If this is some scheme to try and get me on your side to help you cheat, don't even think about it. You think I haven't heard about the Uncrowned Kings? I used to play with three on my team, idiot. And they were never like you. I know about your dirty play. How you and your team injure players."
"Oh yeah. Loudmouth, musclehead and Mr. Night Spirit AKA the Yaksha." He said, referring to Hayama, Nebuya, and Mibuchi. "It's too bad no one can say the same for you. When you leave here, you'll be forgotten. No one on your team will care about you. You've got no powers. You're not a Miracle. You're not an Uncrowned King. You're not even someone like Haizaki. I can't even call you trash. You're a nobody." Hanamiya said. "But hey, considering how you sat your sorry a[censored] on the bench and was just going to let Rakuzan sub you out when you weren't useful anymore, at least before Akashi stepped in, that's probably what you want."
"And heck, even Akashi only stepped in because he saw you not as a teammate, but as a tool. "
Mayuzumi balled his free hand into a fist for a few seconds before unclenching it and walking away.
"Heh. As I thought. Enjoy staying in the shadows reading your little books like a good little college boy. Act up, and something might happen to you. You wouldn't want that would you? Then again, you're so insignificant that probably won't happen." Hanamiya said before resuming to find a place to read.
"Well, it looks like what you said about Haizaki was right." Jotaro said to Isagi.
"Huh? What do you mean?" Isagi asked.
"His copying. His movements were the same as my own, but the rhythm was slightly different. Since then it was starting to feel like I was having trouble skating at my own rhythm." Jotaro said.
"I see." Isagi said.
"Even if Skipper didn't ask me to throw him I would have did it anyway. Trying to skate feeling like that would have been a lot more trouble than it would have been worth. And I think Haizaki knew it too. That's why he tried to change his skating to mirror mine." Jotaro said.
"Speaking of throwing, was that your Stand you were using?" Isagi asked.
Jotaro nodded. "As I said before, Star Platinum has incredible strength and eyesight. Both played a factor as to why I threw Skipper when I did, especially the second time."
"These Stands. Are the others as powerful as yours?"
"Every Stand is powerful in its own right. Some rely on things other than strength. Understanding your Stand's strengths and using them to your advantage in different situations including battles against other Stands is the most important thing. Considering you're a soccer player, you should understand that pretty well." Jotaro said.
"Yeah." Isagi nodded. "I may not know too much about Stands, but I do know that from what you're describing, they're awesome!" He said, smiling.
Although he didn't make any indication of it, Jotaro, thanks to Star Platinum, saw Eliza listening from a distance.
"Alright everyone! The food is ready!" Rika announced.
As they brought the food out to the two teams, Ikki appeared. "Alright! Looks like I can already smell the-" He said before seeing the contestants.
"WHO THE HELL ARE YOU GUYS!?" Ikki said.
"US? I COULD ASK YOU THE SAME THING BUDDY!" Natsu said.
After the two teams enjoyed their food, they were getting ready to board the planes to get flying.
"You guys were on reality TV and you didn't tell me!?" Ikki said to the four sisters.
"So what? Do we have to tell you everything we do?" Mikan asked.
"I'm not saying that but how could you keep something so awesome from me? Especially you Ringo! I thought we were supposed to be close!" Ikki said.
"Well of course we are dummy! You do live here after all!" Ringo said, blushing a little.
"Well apparently not when you're keeping something like this from me!" Ikki said.
"Look, I don't see the big deal. It's not like they were staying here. They're already off to another episode or whatever." Rika said.
"True, but…" Ikki said before sitting down in sadness as tears comically streamed from his eyes like waterfalls as he held his hands up in agony. "I wanted to be on reality TV!"
"Quit your whinin' and come eat! You've been working and the first thing you think about is reality TV?" Mikan said.
"Oh yeah! Nothing a good plate of food won't fix!" Ikki said, instantly perking up and giving a thumbs up and then going inside.
"From a hard-worker to a guy whining about not being on reality TV. Sometimes I don't know what I see in you Ikki." Ringo thought, shaking her head.
Plane 3: Wave Breakers(Economy Class)
"Alright! You finished last today! Which means, you gotta send somebody home! As I explained to the Rats, there's passports of all your teammates in the loser class bathroom. I need you to stamp the passport of the person you want to send home. Just one. And make sure it's the person you're a hundred percent sure you want to send home because we're not allowing corrections! We're gonna take a commercial break and when that's done, we'll bring things right back here for the ceremony, got it?" Chris asked.
"Yep!" Chris P. said.
"Cool!" Chris M. said before turning to the camera. "We'll be right back after these messages!"
*Commercial Break*

Plane 1: Radical Rats(First Class)
Yulaw was silent and had his headphones in. Rock could be heard coming from them as he was listening to Indestructible by Disturbed.
"Another reason.
Another cause for me to fight.
Another uncovered,
now, for me to light.
My dedication,
To all that I've sworn to protect.
To carry out my orders,
Without a regret"
"Hey Yulaw, could you turn that down a bit please? It's a little loud." Lotte asked, reading.
"Oh. Sorry." Yulaw said, turning down the music.
"Thank you!"
"You're welcome."
"Man does first class feel so nice." Rei said, relaxing in the seat.
"Yeah." May said, sitting next to her as she held Puss.
"Glad to see someone's enjoying themselves." Natsu said, still sick as he was in his seat across from them.
"First class, Economy, it's all the same unfortunately for Natsu." Happy said.
"Well, look on the bright side, you won't have to worry about bugs crawling all over you." Lucy said.
"That's true." Natsu said.
"Gotta admit, this does feel nice." Rally said.
"Zone huh? Interesting." Hiruma thought as he was on his laptop.
"One of the few things from Chris that's honestly pretty good." Noah said. "But the fact that he actually improved off it last time is what surprises me."
"You did great out there Kurita!" Mamori said to Kurita as she tended to him for any possible injuries or cuts, but for the most part, he felt fine.
"Thanks!" Kurita said.
"If you can do something like that Zone again, we'll win every game." Tangle said to Kagami.
"Sorry, but it's not gonna be that easy. I'm not gonna pretend like these challenges are gonna be a cakewalk. Those teams are tough. But, at least they both know now, that we're just as good as they are!" Kagami said, grinning.
"You got that right." Falcon said.

Total Drama Elimination Theme Plays
"Alright guys! The votes are in! For today's challenge, I've got coupons for a restaurant! You get one, you get you get to live on for another day and keep competing. You don't, you're gone! Any questions?"
Chris P. raised a hand along with Scott.
"What's up Chris?"
"So, what kind of a restaurant are they for?" Chris P. asked.
"Really? You could get eliminated and that's what you're asking about?" Dan asked.
"I actually had the same question." Scott said.
"Scott, you might have some competition on your team for being the biggest buffoon." Beta said low, watching from Hailey's phone back at the front of the economy plane.
"Does anyone here care about the fact that you're going to get eliminated? Anyone?" Mr. Wolf said.
"I care. Obviously. Even though I know for sure it's not going to be me." Blaineley said.
"Of course we care idiot." Haizaki said.
"Just checking." Mr. Wolf said.
"Well, let's find out shall we! Chef, if you'll do the honors!"
"If I call your name, you're safe. If not, you're outta here." Chef said.
"Mr. Wolf!"
"Nice." He said before looking at the coupon. "Really? These expired two years ago."
"Oh, they did? Sorry about that." Chris M. said.
"No you're not." Reagan said.
"He's a hundred percent lying." Dan said.
"Virgil!"
"Urien!"
"Ayame!"
"Ryoma!"
"Toxsa!"
"Reagan!"
"Blaineley!"
"Jenny!"
"Karin!"
"Julie!"
"Launch!"
"Molly!"

"Kaz!"
"Diego!"
"Myron!"
"Shiro!"
"Hailey!"
"Scott!"
"Johnny!"
"Of course I'd stay in."
"Nice job stamping Shiro by the way." Heloise said sarcastically.
"What the- how'd you know that?" Johnny asked.
"Because you threw it in the trash right after you came out from voting?" Heloise said, showing the crumpled up Shiro passport.
Shiro raised an eyebrow as he was sitting next to him.
"That was an accident. Sorry." Johnny said to him.
Shiro made no response.
"Duncan!"
"Zoey!"
"Zak!"
"Hanamiya!"
"Hinata!"
"Tsukishima!"
"Eijun!"
"ALL RIGHT!"
"You didn't even play. Why are you yelling?" Dan said.
"Sorry." Eijun said, laughing a little.
"Miyuki!"
"Too bad. We could have used these on that restaurant if we came back." Miyuki said.
"Furuya!"
"Dan!"
"Chris!"
"Nimona!"
"Awesome!"
"Bakura!"
"Nice!"
"Bass!"
Bass caught the coupon but immediately tore it to shreds.
"Ruby!"
"Shawn!"
"Jasmine!"
….
…..
…..
"Randy!"
"Yes!" He said, fist pumping. "But giving us expired coupons is a total shoob move dude."
"Don't care." Chris P. said.
"Fiona!"
….
"All right!" Fiona cheered with Toto also jumping for joy on her shoulder.
"Dwayne! Looks like those Jazz dance moves came in handy, 'cause your teammates liked it enough to wanna keep you in."
"I promise you, you won't regret it." Dwayne said.
"Kunigami! Richie! Haizaki! Kageyama! You're the last four that chef did not call! If your name is not called, then you're out!" Chris said.
"Kageyama! You didn't exactly do too much in this challenge. But, you didn't do anything for your teammates to want you gone either. You're safe!"
Kageyama breathed a sigh of relief.
"Kunigami! Your personality has been something that your teammates have said is a negative quality about you. But, you did do well enough in the challenge to the point where not enough people voted for you. You're safe."
Kunigami silently caught the coupon.
"No reaction? Nothing?" Chris M. asked.
"Just shut the hell up and get on with it." Kunigami said.
"Okay then…" Chris M. said, not expecting such a strong response from the Blue Lock player.
"Haizaki! Richie! You're the last two! You don't get a marshmallow! You're out!" Chef said.
"Haizaki! Your skills showed that you're more than just all talk. But that personality's still a problem for some." Chef said.
"You really think I care? I carried my weight. It's this guy that was trash." Haizaki said, referring to Richie.
"Doesn't matter about skill if your personality is s[censored]." Reagan said.
"Richie. You were not good. At ALL today. In fact, you were easily the worst. There's not many other reasons why your team would want you gone besides that."
"I know everyone's got bad days, but there's no excuse for someone like Kurita to do better than you man." Mr. Wolf said.
"You reminded me of….me. And that's not a good thing." Toxsa said.
"Yeah. I'll admit, I was not good today." Richie ssaid.
"The final coupon goes to….."

"Haizaki!"
Haizaki laughed a little after getting the coupon.
"Richie! And by group rules, Virgil, you're out!"
"Sorry I messed things up man." Richie said to Virgil.
"Hey, don't worry about it. It happens. It ain't gonna change a thing between us." Virgil said, giving him a fist pound.
"Yeah, yeah, skip the friendship s[censored] and get off the plane!" Haizaki said.
"Challenge: Haizaki not being a d[censored]. Impossible." Reagan said.
"Richie! Virgil! Here ya go!" Chris said, handing them parachutes.
"Time to fly. You ready?" Richie asked Virgil.
"Of course I-"
Their parachutes were suddenly activated as they were both heard yelling from falling out of the plane as a portal suddenly opened, sending them back to Dakota in front of Richie's house before Virgil broke their fall with his powers.
"Everyone else! You're safe! For now!" Chris said.
***Confessional***
Reagan(Wave Breakers):
"I respect the decision for Richie getting voted out, but I don't like the fact that Haizaki's still the same piece of s[censored] after being punched and getting a black eye. But if he's as good as Kagami and the others, I have a feeling that unfortunately, we're gonna have to deal with it."
***End Confessional***
They eventually, got back to the mansion with Aomine using the bathroom. Haizaki walked in just as Aomine was washing his hands.
"Oh hey Daiki. What's up?" Haizaki said.
"Stealing from your own teammates again, huh? I'd say that's low but….. you already did it before with Fukuda against Kaijo. Looks like you learned nothing after I knocked your a[censored] out last time." Aomine said.
"How'd you know that?'
"Believe it or not, Hanamiya of all people gave it away when he was explaining something. Funny enough, he wasn't even talking about you at all. But what he was talking about, I figured out you were the reason why Richie was doing so poorly." Aomine said as he turned off the water.
"Yeah? So what? I did what I had to to win. You should understand that. Besides, why do you care? The guy wasn't even on your team."
"I'm not saying you can't try to win. I did some things I wasn't proud of in my first year at Touou, including disrespecting my seniors like you did. Hell, I even hit Wakamatsu once because I didn't want to practice. Well, Captain Wakamatsu now that Imayoshi graduated. But I never took it as far as you. Nor did I ever consider injuring someone because I couldn't win. But when I lost to Kuroko and Kagami, I realized how much I needed to grow. Not just as a basketball player. But as a person. Seems like you never did." Aomine said as he finished drying his hands.
"Look man, I just came to take a pi[censored], not hear you give some preachy a[censored] speech." Haizaki said before going to use the bathroom.
"I'm not gonna give some speech. I'm not that type of guy. And even if I was, seeing as you haven't learned a goddamn thing I'm wouldn't even waste my breath." Aomine said before throwing away the paper towels. Haizaki had finished using the bathroom and went to wash his hands.
"I saw you in the challenge. Even though you might not be able to beat us, you got faster since your game against Kise so I know you didn't quit. You quit in middle school. And after the game against Kise you told me you didn't care about basketball. I don't know what your reasons are to keep playing, but know this: You can talk all the trash you want. And you can do whatever you want to win. I'm not gonna tell you what to do during the challenges, even if I disagree with it. Just like I wouldn't if you were on the court. But if you try any of that s[censored] you tried against Kaijo against Kagami, Kise, Kuroko or any of my teammates outside of that, we're gonna have a problem." Aomine said. said, before opening the door and leaving the bathroom.
"So that's what you think huh?" Haizaki said, gritting his teeth, before throwing the paper towels he had in the trash aggressively.
Bakura went to open the door to go to the bathroom himself as Haizaki came out.
"Get outta my way!" Haizaki said to Bakura, angered.
"Sorry. I didn't see you there." Bakura said before going in.
***Confessional***
Yami Bakura(Wave Breakers):
"I'm not a hundred percent sure, but from the looks of things, Aomine said something to Haizaki. Something that he wasn't particularly fond of. Doesn't look like they got into a fight over it, however. Regardless, even if I wanted to, Haizaki isn't someone I can manipulate. Not because he's smart. But simply because he's not going to listen and he'll do what he wants. But I must say, after seeing Kagami, I'm a little intrigued to see what the others can do. Hanamiya included."
***End Confessional***
***Confessional***
Haizaki(Wave Breakers):
"So what if I stole from Richie. I could have stolen from anybody. He just happened to be the first guy I saw. Outside of Ryokan and Dwayne. I sure as hell wasn't about to steal from them. You really think I care? Like I'm gonna suddenly have these feelings welling up inside me that'll make me say, 'I'm sorry, please forgive me.' Nah. You ain't gonna get that outta me. I know I said I might not have to use my ability, but hey, I'm gonna do what I have to to survive and win. I told you, that money's mine. And nobody, not Daiki. Not Ryota, or anybody else is gonna get in the way of that. That's Total Drama. And if you don't like what I'm sayin', then that's on you. And don't give me that Zone bulls[censored]. That doesn't scare me either."
***End Confessional***
"And that's the end of the second episode folks!" Chris said.
"With the contestants leaving a lot of property damage in their wake. Damage that Chris is gonna have to pay for should he ever get caught." Chef said.
"Like I said to Heloise, that'll never happen because I won't get caught."
"Which is exactly why you decided to book it as soon as everyone was done eating, right?" Heloise said.
"Exactly! But things will definitely be planned out next time." Chris said.
"What are you going to give them next? Coal? IOUs? Chris Mcbloons?" Heloise asked.
"Chris McBloons? Awesome idea!" Chris said which only caused Heloise to sigh.
"I don't really care but good luck to whoever faces elimination next." Heloise said.
"Find out all of that and more on the episode of Total… Drama… Across the Multiverse!"
A/N: And that's the end of the chapter! These eliminations are not going to be easy choices, but in the end, someone's got to go. And yes, in canon, Haizaki got desperate enough one time to try and steal moves from his teammates to beat Kise, which still failed as Kise denied all of his attempts to score, so I decided to show that here. He wasn't being desperate, but unlike Kise's copying ability, Haizaki's pillage has adverse side effects on the person it's used on. It's just unfortunate that Richie was the victim.
As for Yulaw, his love for Metal is also canon. He discovered the genre after driving to try and find and kill the only other version of himself that was left in the multiverse(the song he was listening to was Sinner by Drowning Pool). So apparently, Metal does not exist in his universe, just like hot chocolate doesn't exist in Zak Monday's dimension. Just goes to show that not every universe is a hundred percent the same.
As for Jotaro throwing Skipper and Kagami using Puss as his object for the Meteor Jam, that was inspired by Jotaro throwing Iggy in Stardust Crusaders lol. With how much damage that was caused from the second episode, I can't imagine what's going to happen in the rest. It's definitely going to be worse than Multiverse Edition with people like Natsu there lol.
TD Shorts will be returning after the third episode. I want to establish at least a few connections between some of the characters first before I start doing that.
