Chapter 3: Sugar Crash
"Next up is Kate Bishop from the Hawkeye universe!" said Chris.
Dark blue energy released from the Multiversal Staff, which caused Kate to appear.
"Woah.." Kate took a moment to observe the red island. "I was at the university library studying for one of my midterms. I have this huge multiple-choice test about equality, feminism, and masculinity for a gender studies class on Friday. Uh, hehe, I was actually procrastinating at the library." she said with a guilty smile. "I was watching some badass archery videos. And I was also watching a few dancing and twerking videos too. Now I'm at a red island.. Does this mean I'm dreaming?"
"Nope," replied Chris with a grin. "This is all real!"
"Right.." said Kate. Her eyes were fixated on Chris. "How do I know you're not some sort of villain in disguise?"
"If I was a villain, I would've fed you to the sharks by now," said Chris as he looked at the water.
Not too far away, there were two red sharks above the surface water. Their bellies growled.
"Fair point.." said Kate.
"Put this on, it's important," said Chris. He gave Kate one of the bracelets.
"It looks pretty!"
"You talk too much. Now go join the others over there," instructed Chris.
"Fine, okay," said Kate. She walked over and joined the others.
Jason looked at Kate. "You seem like a spoiled brat."
Kate was taken back by Jason's comment. "Huh? Who do you think you are, talking to me like that?"
He shrugged. "I think.. I'm an honest badass that kicks bad guy ass. And I don't take back what I said about you. You're a snobby bitch dressed up in ugly ass purple clothing. I'm going to do whatever it takes to reunite with the Titans so I can save the world. Stay out of my way while I'm here."
Kate glared at him. "Geez, you're a dickhead. Grow up and learn to be respectful."
Jason sighed. "Does it look like I give a shit? No. Fuck off bitch."
She responded by giving Jason the middle finger.
Chris smiled. "Spicy drama. Anyways.. Next up is Ji-Woon Hak aka 'Trickster' from the Dead by Daylight universe!"
Dark blue energy released from the Multiversal Staff, which caused Ji-Woon to appear.
Ji-Woon's violet hair was modern-looking and neat. His yellow eyes gazed at everyone around him. He then began to speak Korean in a fierce tone.
Chris looked at Chef. "Put a bracelet on his wrist."
Chef took out a mini slingshot from his pocket. He carefully placed the bracelet on the slingshot and aimed for Ji-Woon's wrist. Then he released the slingshot. Whishhhhhhh! Click! The bracelet was secured on the wrist.
Ji-Woon continued talking with that same fierce tone, except in English now. "And for the last part of my master plan I will kill you all with my polished head smasher!" Ji-Woon spun his neon pink weapon in circles with his right hand. "I'll kill you all by smashing your skulls one-by-one! Hahahahahaha!"
"No killing is allowed on this island!" explained Chris.
There was an awkward silence for a moment.
"I was just joking babe," said Ji-Woon. "I would never hurt or kill anyone."
Chris sighed. "Don't call me babe."
"It's just the way I talk."
"Just don't."
"Okay, I won't," said Ji-Woon with a mischievous smile.
"Put this bracelet on, then go join the others over there," mumbled Chris.
Ji-Woon obeyed his instructions and proceeded to join the others. "Heyy kings and queens! How are y'all doing?"
"Umm," gulped Misty. "I'm feeling scared."
"Why babe?" asked Ji-Woon.
"Because you scared me. It really seemed like you wanted to kill us.."
"OH BABE, IT WAS JUST A JOKE! I don't stan killers and murderers."
"That wasn't a funny joke to me." Hmph! Misty crossed her arms.
"Alrighty.." said Chris. "Next up is Mindy Meeks-Martin from the Scream universe!"
Dark blue energy released from the Multiversal Staff, which caused Mindy to appear.
"Oh shit, this isn't New York," said Mindy as she looked at the red island.
"Correct," said Chris.
"And that golden staff you're holding is glowing."
"Correct."
"This means.." Mindy paused for a moment, "The multiverse is real! We're all from completely different universes! This changes everything! Normally, I follow horror movie rules to survive my universe because there's usually someone dressed up as Ghostface trying to kill everyone. But this means.. We have to follow even more rules to survive the multiverse!"
"I honestly don't care about multiversal rules," said Chris.
"That's the sorta thing people say before they die! You always have to follow the rules!"
Chris rolled his eyes. "I still don't care."
"But-"
"Enough!" yelled Chris. "Just put this bracelet on your wrist and go join the others."
Mindy sighed. "You're definitely a dead man.." She put a bracelet on her wrist and joined the others.
Jason fixated his eyes on Mindy. "You seem like a helpless movie geek."
"You're stupid. I'd say my knowledge on movie shit is more useful than you think," said Mindy with a proud look on her face.
Pffttt. "Whatever," said Jason.
"Alright.. Next up is Guy from the Free Guy universe!" said Chris.
Dark blue energy released from the Multiversal Staff, which caused Guy to appear.
"I'm free.. I'M FREEEE! WOOOOOOOOO!" screamed Guy. He began to dance right in front of everyone.
"Free from what?" asked Chris.
"I'm free from Free City, which is a video game. And now I'm not trapped inside a video game! WOOOOOOOOO!" Guy continued to dance. He swung his arms from side to side and spun his body in circles. His most impressive dance move was the robot dance.
"Awesome.. Put this bracelet on your wrist and go join the others. Total Drama will be your new home!" said Chris with an evil smile.
"WOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!" Guy danced his way to the others.
"All these people are fucking idiots," murmured Jason quietly to himself.
"I heard that," whispered Guy into Jason's ear.
Jason froze, then glared at Guy. "What the fuck is wrong with you?
"What the fuck is wrong with me? What do you mean?" asked Guy.
"It's weird as fuck you were trying to eavesdrop on what I was saying," explained Jason.
"Timeout, timeout," said Guy. He used his hands to make a 'T' symbol. "Don't be putting the blame on me buddy. The problem here is actually you, not me. I should be asking you that question. What the fuck is wrong with you? Because you're sensitive like a big fucking baby. You called me and everyone else fucking idiots! So you think you're some tough guy now? Because news flash buddy, you're not!"
Jason sighed. "Don't call me buddy. And look, the reason why you're definitely a fucking idiot is because you're really cringe. You're honestly so cringe. It's just fucking weird you started dancing like that."
"I was celebrating for crying out loud! You don't know what I've been through!" said Guy.
"Alright.. Next up is Loba from the Apex Legends universe!" said Chris.
Dark blue energy released from the Multiversal Staff, which caused Loba to appear.
Loba had beautiful dark brown hair. Her hair was braided and a little bit of the hair was dyed in a dark red color. She was wearing her usual elegant white clothing and black boots. "Oh my.. This is a gorgeous place. Perhaps I can find some beautiful and rich commodities here that I can add to my collection.."
"Very cool. Put this bracelet on your wrist and go join the others-" Chris paused. "Wait a second.. I swear I had a bracelet for you in my hand!"
Loba opened her hand, revealing the bracelet. She walked up to Chris and whispered in his ear. "You were too slow." She walked over to join everyone else.
"Uh, okay.." said Chris.
"How did you do that?" asked Mario.
"Mhm, I have a few tricks up my sleeve," replied Loba.
Mario looked at her sleeves and observed that she was wearing golden bracelets. "You used golden bracelets to steal the silver bracelet?"
"You're on the right track darling," said Loba with a cute wink.
"Alright, next up is Papa Louie from Papa Pizzeria's universe!" said Chris.
Dark blue energy released from the Multiversal Staff, which caused Papa Louie to appear.
"Hey, how's it going? What's your name?" asked Papa Louie. His greeting was comforting and warm. He was dressed in his usual white chef clothing.
"I'm doing great today, thanks for asking. My name is Chris McLean!"
"You know.. If you want your day to be even more amazing you should try a bite of my signature thin-crust cheese pizza! I cook my pizza with all-natural ingredients grown from gardens. Aged gouda, mozzarella, organic tomatoes, and fresh seasoning is put into all my pizzas. And a lot of papa love too." Papa Louie gave Chris a piece of paper. "Here's a twenty-five percent off coupon for my restaurant in New York City. And, if you buy two pizza slices on Fridays, you get a free drink with your food!"
"Thanks my man!" said Chris. "Put on this bracelet and go join the others over there!"
Papa Louie followed his instructions and then proceeded to greet everyone else. "Hello everyone! I'm the one and only Papa Louie!"
"That's such a cute name darling," said Loba.
"Thank you! What's your name?" asked Papa Louie.
"My name is Loba," she said with a smile.
Mario looked at Papa Louie's large black mustache. "Wow, that's an impressive mustache! How long did it take for you to grow it out?"
"Thank you, my friend! It took a few months to grow out my mustache. Ohohoho! I love your mustache too!" said Papa Louie.
Mario smiled.
"Alrighty.. Next up is Vanellope von Schweetz from the Wreck-it Ralph universe!" said Chris.
Dark blue energy released from the Multiversal Staff, which caused Vanellope to appear. Except, she appeared inside her candy kart. And to make matters worse, she was driving at about three hundred miles per hour.
Vanellope quickly slammed on the chocolate break. "GET OUT OF THE WAY! WATCH OUT!"
Almost everyone quickly jumped out of the way to avoid getting hit by the candy kart. Unfortunately for Mario, he reacted too slowly.
"Oh noo!" cried out Mario
KABOOM! The candy kart sent Mario flying into the water.
"WAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!" screamed Mario.
SPLASH!
The two red sharks that were watching from afar saw Mario fall into the water. They raced to Mario because both sharks were quite hungry for lunch.
"Oh, no! We have to help Mario!" said Swiper.
"Let's go help him then," said Loba.
Swiper and Loba ran to go help Mario.
Meanwhile, Mindy squinted her eyes and looked at Chris. "I feel like you did that on purpose."
"That was merely.. An accident," said Chris.
"I don't believe you. I've seen a lot of movies where there's a mischievous character that usually plans something absurdly stupid for the sake of entertainment," said Mindy. She looked at the cameraman standing nearby Chris. "And I have a feeling that I'm right."
Chris shrugged. "Like I said, it was an accident."
Beach
Mario kept swimming as fast as he could. The tiny Luma hiding underneath his red hat gave him more cosmic energy to swim. But the red sharks were still faster. Swiper and Loba stopped running across the red-colored sand on the beach.
"What are we going to do?" asked Swiper.
"I got this darling, don't worry," reassured Loba. She removed one of her golden bracelets from her wrist and aimed it at Mario. A special light blue energy from the golden bracelet began to lift Mario up from the water.
One of the red sharks tried to jump really high above the water to bite off Mario's leg, but failed. The light blue energy continued to carry Mario above the water towards the beach. Once Mario was above the red sand, Loba carefully lowered Mario to the ground.
"Whew! Thank you for helping me there!" said Mario.
"No problem darling," said Loba.
The trio began to walk back to the dock of shame. But suddenly, a red crab that was hiding underneath the red sand used its claws to pinch Swiper's orange tail.
"OWWWEEEEEEEEE! OWEEEEEEEEEEEEE!" yelled Swiper. "Get it off my tail!"
Mario quickly kicked the crab off Swiper's tail. "Are you okay?"
"Yeah, but my tail still hurts a little," explained Swiper.
"I'm glad you're okay," said Mario, "Hmm, that's weird." He scratched his chin.
"What's weird darling?" asked Loba.
"I thought the crab would disappear when I kicked it. And I expected a coin or some star bits to appear," said Mario.
Dock of Shame
Vanellope was in tears. "My kart is ruined!" She continued to cry.
Her candy kart was wrecked from the collision with Mario. Pieces of chocolate, gummy bears, and marshmallows were everywhere on the ground. There was also vanilla flavor smoke coming from the kart's broken engine.
Mario, Swiper, and Loba arrived at the dock of shame.
Mario put his hand on Vanellope's shoulder. "I'm sorry about your race kart."
"Get your hand off me!" said Vanellope in her raspy voice. "You destroyed something that meant a lot to me. I've been racing in this vehicle for the past few years. And now it's gone."
"But I wasn't trying to deliberately destroy it!" explained Mario.
"It doesn't matter. I told everyone to get out of the way, and you didn't listen to me." Vanellope crossed her arms.
Chef walked over and put a bracelet on Vanellope's wrist.
"You too. Get your hands off me!" yelled Vanellope.
"Thank you, Chef," said Chris. "Let's continue. Next up.. Is Po from the Kung Fu Panda universe!"
Dark blue energy released from the Multiversal Staff, which caused Po to appear.
Po began to speak in Chinese, but nobody was able to understand him.
"Give him a bracelet Chef," said Chris.
Chef grabbed the bracelet from Chris' hand and walked over to Po. But Chef was surprised by a kung fu kick from Po.
"HIYAAAAAAAA!" yelled Po.
"OWWWWWWWW!" screamed Chef as he fell onto the ground. "I don't get paid enough for this job," he mumbled to himself.
Po's brutal kick caused the bracelet to fall out of Chef's hand. Intrigued by the bracelet, Po picked it up and placed it on his wrist. He began to speak in English.
"This bracelet is shiny!" said Po. "Ooooo candy!" He used his big panda paws to scoop up the sugary candy into his mouth.
"Nooooo!" said Mario. "That candy belongs to Vanellope!"
Vanellope crossed her arms.
"Really? Oh gosh, my bad. I was just really really really hungry for some food," said Po with an awkward smile.
All of a sudden, a commercial break appeared…
