Author's Note: HI! Happy New Year! Alright, so the challenge continues…

Chapter 10: More Mud!

Nya glanced at Henry for a moment. "You're never going to talk, are you?"

Henry remained silent.

"Okay then.." said Nya.

"It's time to begin the next race!" announced Chris. "Three.. Two.. One.. GO!"

Nya began sprinting across the mud as fast as she could, while Henry remained at the starting line. The Orange Pufferfish began to yell at Henry.

"Why aren't you running?! Please run!" begged Swiper.

Mario sighed. "I don't even understand why Henry is on Total Drama. He reminds me of a statue. Speaking of statues, I remember when Luma and I visited a museum on a beautiful planet. There were so many statues of galactic heroes like Luigi and Peach."

"Chris, I feel like you're trolling us..." said Mindy. "I bet you intentionally casted Henry on Total Drama as a joke."

Chris responded to Mindy by quietly snickering.

Mindy rolled her eyes.

"This fucking sucks," groaned Jason.

"Yep.. I agree with your sentiment on Henry," said Mindy with a nod. "Hey Mario, you know what else this reminds me of?"

Mario shrugged.

"It reminds me of stereotypical horror movie characters that are frozen in fear. For example, Honey, There's Something Wrong With the Children. There's plenty of moments when Margaret was frozen in fear. The kids were very creepy in that movie. Ooh, and Knock Knock Knock at the Cabin too. That's a very suspenseful movie. All the characters were freaked out."

Hmm. "That's, uh, an interesting observation Mindy," said Mario.

The cameraman pointed the camera at Nya.

"NinjaaaGOO!" yelled Nya. The color of her Spinjitzu tornado was blue because she was a water ninja. She unleashed her Spinjitzu on the Tracksuit Mafia.

The Tracksuit Mafia got swallowed up by Nya's Spinjitzu one-by-one. Each person that got swallowed into the Spinjitzu tornado ended up getting punched or kicked out of it.

"AHHHHHHHHHH!" yelled one of them.

Nya easily defeated five hundred members of the Tracksuit Mafia with her Spinjitzu. They became unconscious. Only nine thousand three hundred ninety-four members of the Tracksuit Mafia remained.

There was a huge grin on Nya's face. "I can keep on doing this all day! You boys are no match for me," laughed Nya.

Yevhen, Iwo, and Vitaly were hiding behind a rock. They were absolutely terrified of Nya.

"I do not want to get near that crazy woman. She's beating the shit out of everyone," said Yevhen.

Iwo nodded in agreement. "Me neither."

"I think she's an Avenger," suggested Vitaly.

Iwo shrugged. "I've never seen her before. She might be a new Avenger."

"You think there's something we can do to stop her?" asked Yevhen.

"I'll take it from here fellas," yelled the evil version of Kate.

Yevhen, Iwo, and Vitaly looked up and saw Evil Kate hiding on the top of a red tree. There was an arrow loaded on her recurve bow. She was ready to attack Nya.

"Maybe Kate can stop the crazy woman!" said Vitaly.

Kate began firing away multiple arrows at Nya. The first few missed and ended up hitting the mud. Kate fired some more arrows, but she missed again because Nya's Spinjitzu tornado was moving too quickly. Some of the arrows ended up hitting the Tracksuit Mafia.

"There's ten arrows all over my body!" cried out an injured man.

"No, there's eleven arrows on your body," said someone else.

"Where's the eleventh arrow?" asked the injured man.

"It's on your left buttcheck."

"AHHHHHHHH! WHY ME?!"

Evil Kate stopped firing the arrows. "I don't want to waste all my arrows on one person.." she quietly murmured to herself.

Nya powered her way through one hundred thirty-six more members of the Tracksuit Mafia. They became unconscious, which meant only nine thousand two hundred fifty-eight members of the Tracksuit Mafia remained. The Tracksuit Mafia quickly retreated once again. Nya was almost at the finish line. Except there were four more men standing in her way. They were holding flamethrowers in their hands.

"And what are you boys going to do to stop me?" asked Nya. She raised her eyebrow.

"We're going to burn you up," said one of the men in a cold voice.

The four men activated their flamethrowers. Click! Click! Click! The fire bursted out of the flamethrowers.

Nya rolled her eyes. SPLASH! She used her water powers to counterattack the fire with a powerful blast of water from her hands.

The fire was no match for Nya's water attack. It slowly weakened.

Ahahaha! "Boys, I can tell you're inexperienced with fighting. The four of you brought fire toys to a water fight," laughed Nya. "Shame on you guys.." She finished them off by overpowering their flamethrowers with her water powers.

SPLASSSSSSSSSSSSSHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!

"AHHHHHHHHHHH!" screamed the four men.

Nya's water attack sent the four men flying into the air. They landed on different red trees and became unconscious. Now, only nine thousand two hundred fifty-four members of the Tracksuit Mafia remained.

The race finally ended with Nya sprinting across the finish line. She smiled. "That was too easy!"

"Nice work Nya!" said Darby. She gave Nya a high-five.

"How the fuck did you do that?" asked John.

Nya raised her eyebrow. "What do you mean?"

"The blue tornado and the water abilities," clarified John. "I've never seen that before until now."

"OH! It's a long story…"

"I'd love to hear about it sometime," said John.

The Red Lobsters were winning 2-0 now. The Tracksuit Mafia slowly began to regroup again on the mud. The cameraman pointed the camera at Chris.

Chris was looking at Henry. Hmmmm. "What should I do with you?"

"Ooh! I know!" blurted out Chef. "You should give Henry the chicken hat. I brought a few of em with me." He pulled out several chicken hats from his pockets.

Chris slowly nods. "I like your idea Chef.. But we already did this in the past." He turned and looked at both teams. "Any other ideas?"

"Nope," said Charmcaster.

"Maybe replace Henry with someone else in the Multiverse?" suggested Mindy.

Jason nods in agreement. "That's a good idea."

"Nah!" laughed Chris. "I have an even better idea." He quietly whispered his idea to Chef.

"Are you sure about this Chris?" asked Chef.

Chris nods.

"If you say so.." said Chef. He walked over to Henry, picked him up with his strong hands, and threw him down the mountain.

Henry tumbled across the mud toward the Tracksuit Mafia. He was tumbling at a very fast speed.

BOOM! CRASH! BOOM!

His body bumped and crashed into eleven members of the Tracksuit Mafia. Now, only nine thousand two hundred forty-three members of the Tracksuit Mafia remained.

"WATCH OUT EVERYONE! WATCH OUT!" screamed Yevhen at the top of his lungs.

Iwo facepalmed. "Some of these fucking idiots are not paying attention."

BOOM! CRASH! BOOM! Henry's body knocked out more members of the Tracksuit Mafia, which now meant nine thousand one hundred thirty-one members of the Tracksuit Mafia remained.

"Unbelievable," muttered Iwo.

"That stick figure looks like something a younger version of me would draw on a piece of paper!" yelled Evil Kate from the top of the tree.

Henry's body slowly rolled across the finish line.

Darby and Nya walked over to Henry. They used their hands to brush off the mud from Henry's face. Henry's face still had the same facial expression.

There was a worried look on Nya. "Henry looks okay.. But what if he's not okay? His body might be injured from all that tumbling."

"Uhh, I'm not sure.." said Darby. "The lines on his body seem fine."

"Yeah.. The lines on his body are still in the same body position," pointed out Nya.

"I just had a weird thought."

Nya raised her eyebrow. "Hm?"

"His lines might be a good thing. I don't think there's blood flowing through Henry's lines. And there's probably no bones in his lines either," suggested Darby. "Maybe it's impossible for Henry's body to feel pain?"

Nya shrugged. "Maybe."

The cameraman pointed the camera at Chris.

"Well, that was entertaining!" laughed Chris.

Tsireya frowned.

"Okay everyone, huddle up with your teams and discuss who's racing next!" announced Chris.

"We're doing pretty good so far!" said Sam.

"Yup!" said Kate.

Charmcaster smiled.

Charmcaster's Confessional

Mhm! "Our team is doing amazing today. I don't think I need to use my powers to cheat. But I might cheat for fun.."

"Who's going next?" asked Sam.

"Me," declared King Julien.

Sam raised her eyebrow. "Are you sure King Julien?"

"Yes," said King Julien. "I want to recruit all those strong humans wearing the funny red strawberry clothing to join my kingdom! They'll be a great addition to my kingdom's army."

"I don't think they'll listen to you.." warned Kate.

Pffffftttt! "Of course they will! I am the great King Julien. Why would they not listen to me?"

Kate and Sam exchanged worried glances.

Orange Pufferfish's Huddle

Jason was walking around in small circles next to his teammates. He was cursing underneath his breath. "Fuck Henry. That little piece of shit makes me want to kill myself."

"Woah.. Not cool Jason. Not cool," said Mindy.

"Huh?" Jason stopped walking. "What are you talking about Mindy?"

"I'm talking about your negative language," clarified Mindy. "We're being recorded! The Total Drama audience is watching us, remember?" She pointed to the cameraman.

"Yeah-"

"Families and little children are going to hear your negative shit! Shame on you Jason."

Jason rolled his eyes.

Mindy looked directly at the camera. "Remember kids.. You are LOVED in this world. Your family and friends will always be there for you."

"Awh, that's sweet," said Tsireya. She smiled.

Vanellope finished sucking on her red lollipop. She spat out the lollipop's white stick at Jason's face. "Who's going next Jason?"

"Seriously?" groaned Jason. He used his hands to wipe off a little bit of the lollipop's sticky substance from his face. "I think it's time for our team to start earning some points. Ji-Woon, you think you got this?

Ji-Woon nods. "Ooh, yes. I know I got this. I'm going to slay out there!" Mhmhmmhmmhmm! He walked over to the starting line with his polished head smasher.

Mindy frowned.

Mindy's Confessional

"I don't know if it's just me.. But Ji-Woon seems like a walking red flag. I do NOT want to be alone in a dark forest with Ji-Woon."

"Ji-Woon is a weird dude. His laugh is very evil and menacing."

King Julien and Ji-Woon waited for Chris to give them the green light.

"On your mark.. Get set.. GO!" yelled Chris.

Ji-Woon began to run as fast as he could. King Julien was simply walking across the mud.

The Tracksuit Mafia were ready to attack Ji-Woon and King Julien with their knives.

"I'm going to take a crack at this," said Yevhen.

"Good luck Yevhen," said Iwo.

Yevhen left the hiding spot and joined the others that were running straight toward Ji-Woon. Two hundred two members of the Tracksuit Mafia were in this attack group. As they ran toward Ji-Woon, they began to hear a sound.

"What's that sound?" asked one of the men.

"I'm not sure," said Yevhen.

The sound got louder and louder as they ran toward Ji-Woon. It was an evil electronic-pop sound coming from Ji-Woon's polished head smasher.

HEHEHEHE! "I'm going to get you all!" yelled Ji-Woon. He flashed an evil smile. The polished head smasher was tightly gripped in his hand.

"We s..should t..turn back," stammered Yevhen.

"No. It's just one person," pointed out one of the men. "What's the worst he can do to us?"

"Ok..kay.." said Yevhen.

CLINK! CLINK! CLINK!

One-by-one, each person that attempted to attack Ji-Woon were defeated by Ji-Woon's brutal counterattacks. Ji-Woon's sadistic smile grew as he counterattacked the group of men. "I'm loving every second of this! Ahahaha!"

Each defeated person quickly became unconscious.

"RETREAT!" yelled one of the men.

The remaining few tried running away, but Ji-Woon decided to pursue them.

"The fun was just getting started! Where are you going babes?!" giggled Ji-Woon.

"This is not fun! I'm doing whatever I can to get away from you! You're a freak!" cried out Yevhen.

"Awh, that's too bad!" replied Ji-Woon. EEEHEHEHE!

The cameraman pointed the camera back at King Julien. He continued to simply walk across the red mud. The red pigment of the mud was everywhere on King Julien's little feet.

Ten members of the Tracksuit Mafia approached King Julien.

King Julien stopped walking. He closed his eyes and simply smiled at the men that surrounded him. "Why are you buffons blocking my path to victory? You should know better to respect royalty!"

The men exchanged glances with each other.

"Well, we were told to beat you up and kick your ass!" said one of the men.

"By who?!" asked King Julien.

"Uh-"

"WHO?!"

"Chris," replied the man.

King Julien frowned. "Why, of course it was Chris! He is a very unwise person. You guys shouldn't be listening to that worm-brain fool.. You should be listening to me! I'm the king of my glorious kingdom. That reminds me.. The ten of you should join my kingdom's army!"

"Do worms even have brains?" asked one of the men.

"Why should we join your kingdom's army?" asked someone else.

King Julien smiled. "WELL.. There's many benefits to joining my army! For instance, I will give you all the food you could ever ask for. I will give you all the riches you dream in your dreams. AND.. we will boogie and groovy to some music and drink lots of delicious smoothies!"

"And what about our families back in our universes?" asked one of the men.

Pffttt.. "Just get new families in this dream world then!" suggested King Julien.

"I don't think it's that simple to get new families," said one of the men in a stern tone.

There was an angry look on someone else's face. "I love my wife. There's no way in hell I would ever replace my wife."

"Oh, c'mon.. There's plenty of beautiful women in this world that can replace all your wives!" said King Julien in a very confident voice.

"Says the lemur."

Suddenly, Chris' voice could be heard from a walkie talkie that was held in the hand by one of the men. "What are you guys doing standing around? Attack King Julien!" commanded Chris.

"Oh, right.. GET HIMMMM!"

The ten men began to attack King Julien.

"What are you fools doing?" cried out King Julien as he did his best to dodge the punches and kicks. Luckily for King Julien, his small body gave him an advantage because it was a smaller target. He quickly moved to his left, right, underneath the mud, and he even crawled upwards through the clothing of one of the men.

"GOD DAMMIT! The lemur is inside my pants! Get him off! Get him off!" yelled one of the men.

"I did not realize these pants were so fuzzy and soft on the inside. Maybe I should use the fabric to make gorgeous blankets and rugs?" said King Julien. Eek!

PUNCH! KICK! PUNCH! KICK!

The nine men punched and kicked the tenth man's body and clothing, hoping their punches and kicks would affect King Julien as well. A few punches managed to land on King Julien's fluffy tail.

"My tail!" cried out King Julien. He grabbed his tail and carefully examined it for injuries. "I have to get away from these crazy men somehow.." He decided to hide in the man's pants for a moment while he thought of a plan to get away.

Meanwhile.. Ji-Woon managed to defeat all of the men, except for Yevhen. Ji-Woon's undivided attention was focused on Yevhen now. And to make matters even worse, Yevhen's screaming and shouting made it more exciting for Ji-Woon to chase after him.

"What do I do?! What do I do?!" screamed Yevhen.

Ji-Woon was inching closer and closer to Yevhen.

EHHHHEHEHE! "I almost got ya!" yelled Ji-Woon in an evil tone.

"I don't stand a chance against you, but I'm going to do my best to make it hard for you to catch me!" warned Yevhen. He did his best to evade Ji-Woon. There was a red tree up ahead, so Yevhen ran around the tree in circles.

Ji-Woon swung his polished head smasher. He missed. So, Ji-Woon swung again. But he missed again. Ji-Woon kept on swinging his polished head smasher at Yevhen, but his polished head smasher continued to smash into the red tree instead. "Stop playing games with me.. You know you want to feel my glamorous weapon. Why don't you surrender yourself to me?"

"Hell no, never!" replied Yevhen. He decided to keep on running away from Ji-Woon. There were some more red trees with three wooden pallets nearby. So, Yevhen ran as fast as he could toward that area. Yevhen's only plan at this point was to loop Ji-Woon by using the trees and wooden pallets to help him. So, he continued to run around trees in circles.

Ji-Woon was about to swing his polished head smasher again.

But Yevhen quickly threw down a wooden pallet, which momentarily stunned Ji-Woon for about ten seconds.

"UGGHHH!" cried out Ji-Woon. He used his polished head smasher to break apart the wooden pallet.

Meanwhile.. The nine men that were attacking King Julien (and the tenth man) decided to resort to throwing knives, with the hope that one lucky throw could hurt King Julien in a very painful way.

Whish! Whish! Whish! The knives flew toward King Julien, but completely missed because he was now hiding in the tenth man's shoe. Instead, all the knives landed on the tenth man's body which caused him to faint from the pain.

The nine remaining men carefully approached the tenth man's body that was lying still on the red mud.

"Where's the lemur?" asked one of the men.

Someone else shrugged. "I'm not sure.."

Suddenly, there was something moving around underneath the mud. King Julien's head and upper body surfaced from the mud. He was holding a shoe in his hands. "I'm over here gentlemen!"

The nine men turned around and saw King Julien.

King Julien smiled a little. "After some careful thinking, I decided to deny your request to join my kingdom's army."

"We never requested to jo-"

SHUSH! King Julien frowned. "I wasn't done speaking. The reason why I decided to deny your request is because the ten of you are laughably bad at being soldiers! None of you can catch me. And your throwing skills are awful. Just, awful."

One of the men grunted and threw a knife at King Julien.

WHISH!

"AHHHH!" But King Julien quickly blocked the knife with the shoe. "Whew!" He carefully examined the knife. "This knife is very sharp, but it could be even more sharp. Maybe you guys should upgrade your knives for better ones? Anyways, since things didn't work out between us, I will be departing in a moment. But before I go, I'm giving you guys a farewell gift. I found this in the man's pocket.." King Julien revealed a small green object in his hand. "I initially thought this was a green corossol of some sort, but then I quickly realized I was wrong. Maybe you guys can put this to better use than me!" He tossed the green object to the men.

The green object landed in the mud. It was in front of the men.

One of the men gasped. "This is a GRENADE-"

KABOOMMMMMM! The explosion sent the nine men flying into the air.

King Julien's eyes widened. "Oh, I was not expecting that. Meh. I guess they deserved that.. Back to the race!" He jumped inside the shoe and used his hands to push off from the mud. The shoe began to quickly slide down through the mud.

King Julien made a lot of progress, which caught Ji-Woon's attention.

Ji-Woon was able to corner Yevhen into a dead end of trees. "I have to finish a race, which means the fun ends here!" He quickly used his polished head smasher to boink Yevhen's head, which caused Yevhen to become unconscious.

The remaining members of the Tracksuit Mafia decided to not engage with the lemur and K-Pop killer. The race became close.

King Julien was almost there to the finish line. "Ah, yes! I'm almost there!" But the shoe he was sitting in was starting to slow down.

And to make matters even worse, Ji-Woon was about to run past King Julien. Mhmhmmhmm! Ji-Woon grinned with confidence.

But a few moments later, Charmcaster decided to intervene. Although Charmcaster was watching from afar, she knew Ji-Woon was going to win this race. She slowly flicked her hand (in a very discreet way), which caused a little bit of her pink magic to swirl around her hand.

Then, in the blink of an eye, Charmcaster's pink magic appeared underneath Ji-Woon's feet. Her pink magic tripped over Ji-Woon, which caused him to fly into a large, thick tree.

"AHHHHHHHHHHH!" screamed Ji-Woon as he crashed into the tree.

Charmcaster's Confessional

She smirked. "That was quite entertaining! And I don't feel bad about it, not one bit. Should I do it again? I don't know.. Maybe I will!"

Confessional Ends

King Julien crossed the finish line with a smile on his face. "One point for our team!"

"Nice work King Julien!" said Nya.

Darby nodded in agreement. "Yeah! Using the shoe to slide across the mud was creative."

King Julien laughed. Pffttt.. "It was nothing.. It was simply easy work for me! If you thought that was creative, wait till you see what I have planned for the future!"

"Which is?" asked Nya.

"You'll see," responded King Julien.

Nya rolled her eyes.

Then there was John. He simply sighed. His eyes were fixated on the red tree that was giving Ji-Woon a hard time.

Ji-Woon's body was stuck in the tree. His upper-body was on one side of the tree and his lower-body was on the other side of the tree. Unfortunately, Ji-Woon's hips were firmly stuck in the center of the tree. "Ho..ow..ww.. DID THIS HAPPEN?! It doesn't make any sense to me! Did that pesky lemur somehow sabotage me?" He grunted as he tried to get out of the tree. "It must've been the lemur.." A few moments later, Ji-Woon was able to free himself from the tree. He walked over to the finish line to join the others.

"Are you alright?" asked Nya. There was a worried look on her face.

"NO!" replied Ji-Woon. "Because of King Julien, there's pieces of wood stuck all over my beautiful skin! And it really hurts!"

"Eh, what? What did I do to you?" asked King Julien.

"You.. SABOTAGED ME!"

"Ehhh.. No I didn't," said King Julien as he took a few steps backwards away from Ji-Woon.

Ji-Woon frowned.

Meanwhile, back at the top of Mount Red..

Hehehehe! "Red Lobsters, nice work so far. You guys are winning 3-0. Orange Pufferfish, you guys are kind of a disaster right now," said Chris. "Talk it out with your teams and decide who's racing next."

Papa Louie nodded.

Papa Louie's Confessional

"Our team is doing a really great job so far! I'm proud of Darby, Nya, and King Julien for giving it their all so far. If we win this challenge, we could even have a pizza party tonight." There was a warm energy radiating from Papa Louie's smile. "And I'll cook the pizza too! It'll be a nice way to bond with each other."

"First of all, I just want to say wow," said Kate. "We're doing pretty good."

Sam silently nodded in agreement. She did her best to not say anything.

Kate raised her eyebrow. "Uh Sam, it looks like you want to say something.."

"No, I don't-" gasped Sam.

"Just spit out the words to our faces," encouraged Misty.

Sam gulped. "Well, I was going to say yeah, but I decided not to say anything because I don't want my bad luck to affect the team. And now that I'm talking, I'm worried I might've jinxed the team with some bad luck." She sighed.

Kate placed her hand on Sam's shoulder. "Don't overthink it. I'm sure we'll be fine if we keep trying our best." She paused for a moment. "So.. Who should go next for the team?"

"I'll go next," said Misty with a smile. She was holding one of her Pokéballs in her hand.

Orange Pufferfish's Huddle

"Ji-Woon seemed very unfocused out there. We should try our best to keep our minds focused," said Tsireya.

"Yep!" said Jason. He let out a frustrated sigh.

"Hm, I sense that your heart and mind is not calm. Connect your heart and mind to the peaceful ripples of the water," encouraged Tsireya.

Mindy shrugged. "Or.. Just schedule an appointment with a psychologist or therapist!"

"I can't believe you just fucking said that to me," said Jason. He rolled his eyes. "I'm just going to ignore what you said.."

"Uhhh… I'll go next!" chimed in Mario. "Luma and I make a great team together. We'll do our best to earn a point." He smiled at Luma.

Luma responded with an adorable smile.

Tsireya's Confessional

"I like Luma. I can sense good energy coming from the little one. There's something special about that star."

Misty and Mario intensely stared at the Tracksuit Mafia army. There were eight thousand nine hundred nineteen members of the Tracksuit Mafia remaining. A few men picked up some rocket launchers from the ground and loaded them with rocket missiles. They wanted to greet Misty and Mario with some explosive surprises.

"Bring it on!" yelled Misty.

Mario inhaled and exhaled slowly. "Here we go..!"

"Get ready!" announced Chris. "Three.. Two.. One.. GO! GO! GO!"

It was Mario who easily took the early lead over Misty. His cosmic powers helped him run really fast across the mud. Luma was holding onto Mario's curly hair as he ran.

Misty stopped running. "Welp! I'm going to need a little help out here.. STARMIE! I CHOOSE YOU!" She threw the Pokéball into the mud, which caused Starmie to appear.

"HHHHRRAAAHHHHH!" yelled Starmie. The Pokémon's mysterious voice sounded distorted.

"Use Rain Dance!" commanded Misty.

Starmie nodded.

Suddenly, the sky quickly turned very dark. Rain clouds appeared in the sky. It began to rain. The pouring rain caused the mud to become even more slippery.

"Nice work Starmie! Let's keep going!" said Misty. They continued to run across the mud.

Swiper's Confessional

"What was the point of that?! Now it's cold and freezing!"

Confessional Ends

But Mario and Luma were still up ahead.

"LAUNCH THE ROCKET MISSILES!" shouted one of the men.

All three rocket missiles were launched at Mario.

Mario crouched, then he jumped extra high into the air to dodge the first rocket missile. He successfully dodged it.

The first rocket missile hit the mud and it exploded. KABOOMMMMMMMMM!

"Two more to go.." said Mario. He spun in a circle and smashed the second rocket missile with his hands. Mario's cosmic counterattack was so strong that it caused the second rocket missile to change directions.

The second rocket missile flew upwards into the sky. It slowed down and it eventually exploded in midair. KABOOMMMMMMM!

Iwo, Vitaly, and Evil Kate were watching from afar.

"What the hell?! That mustache guy isn't afraid of those rocket missiles! This shit is unbelievable!" said Iwo.

The cameraman pointed the camera back at Mario.

Mario saw Misty and Starmie run past him with the corner of his eye. "Dang it."

"Where did you learn to do THAT?! That was awesome! Keep up the good work Mario!" yelled Misty as she continued to run further across the mud.

"Thanks!" said Mario.

The third rocket missile was the biggest one. It was traveling at a slower speed because it was carrying more explosives inside.

Although the third rocket missile was bigger and more powerful, it didn't deter Mario's effort.

Mario was ready to counterattack. He wasn't afraid.

All of a sudden, a commercial break appeared…

Author's Note: I hope you're liking the challenge so far. More to come soon! :))
