5. Chapter 5 Horror inside an Attic

Hey guys, welcome to the third chapter of this spin-off.

Before we begin, let us go through the review first:

Memeking the Third: It truly is entertaining. Lots of things have happened in this chapter. But yea, be concerned for the others, now that Archer is in command.

NondescriptNorbert: Glad you are pleased with this chapter. There's a lot to be excited for, as I have planned out and look forward to see these plans come out with a good outcome. Weird to say, I know but trust me it going to be great.

Thenewsubwayguy: Grateful you like this chapter. It totally make sense that there's no required reading the other fics to get some of the context behind this.

Anyways, review out of the way. Let's begin.

---

A loud knocking noise blasted through the door of where Idree resided.

Mxy was there, along with Don as they are concerned for one of their contestants not having to get up and leave their dorm.

"Idree…Idree…Idree, I did not bring you here just to let you stay in your room for free", Mxy shouted, as he continued to knock, "Idree!"

"Is it really necessary to bring him out?" Don asked, "Maybe he's just extremely tired".

"Don, Don, we need everyone to be active", Mxy told him, "We can't have some slope coop up in one room for the entire day. It is unfavorable for our viewers".

"Still, I really don't like bargaining into someone's personal space like this".

"Don, we are the host. We can do pretty much anything", Mxy told him, as he resumed shouting and knocking, loudly, "IDREE! DON'T MAKE ME GET IN THERE AND PULLED YOUR BUTT OUT WITH A COMICALLY SIZE MAGNET!"

Inside Idree room, his room consists of simply a mattress, a blanket, and a lamp.

Idree is hiding under the sheets. Not on the mattress, but in the corner as he uttered to himself, quietly, "Go away, go away….I hate this…..I hate that dumb Imp, that Canadian host, pretty much everyone on this show".

"IDREE!"

Startled, Idree immediately got up and saw the floating Imp with both hands on his hip and being not pleased by him staying in his room, "Idree! What are you doing sloughing around? You should be out there, hanging out and enjoying your stay! Not take a nap for the entire episode!"

"How did you get into my room?!"

"First off, I can teleport", Mxy replied, snapping his finger to teleport near the open door, "Second your door was unlocked".

Idree glanced away, mumbling to himself in a grudging tone, as Don approached him, "Umm listen Idree, I really don't know what your problem is, but we have a show still going on here. So I do advise you to like….go out and hang out, like Mxy said".

"If you expect me to bond with any of them, you're wrong!" Idree stated, "I am not leaving! I mean, I'm not leaving my room I meant to say!"

"Heheheh Idree, Idree", Mxy shove Don out of the way, as he floats near him, "Let me put this in words you can understand. If you don't get out there and start interacting or doing anything that isn't sitting in this room, I could…mmm, I don't know, turn your inside organs to have a World War Nine raging on in there where there's a likely chance you could burst out like a time bomb".

"What?!"

"GET OUT THERE AND HAVE FUN, YOU MORON!"

00000000000000000000000000000000000000000000

"I didn't want to follow the order of an Imp", Idree confessed, "I have my own rights to do what I want to do. But….since I'm going to stay here for a while, I guess I may have to try to…..tolerate my surroundings".

0000000000000000000000000000000000000

Later outside of the mansion, the day is quite normal with a blue sky and clouds, with the birds flying through the air.

Mabel has called fourth for her friends. New friends she made from last night.

Nikki, Dororo, and Reg were present, along with Waddles.

"Alright guys, listen up", Mabel began, "I call you guys here to make a special announcement".

"Ooooh a special announcement", Nikki remarked, excitefully as she whispered to a casual Dororo, "I hope it's something cool like building an epic, robot or something like that".

"Eh, whatever it is, I hope it's worth my time".

Mabel "Now since this is our first time together, I decided that we should formed an alliance. No! A special alliance that is so special it's….uhhh, beyond the term of special".

"Ooooh so like, our very own friend club", Nikki said, "I like it".

"What's a club?" Reg asked.

"Basically a group of awesome people like us forming a much, much, much cooler group".

"Seems a bit redundant", Dororo remarked, "But okay".

"So first initiative! We need a perfect name for our alliance", Mabel said, "Nikki, what you got?"

"Got it! What if we called ourselves, uhhhh….ummmm…..Wonder Terror!".

"Wonder Terror?"

"Yeah, Wonder Terror. It has a more magical flair to it. Like, you bringing terror, but in wonder form!"

"...brilliant. I may consider it", Mabel said, "Reg! What do you got?"

"Uhhhh…", Reg tried to think of a name, but isn't much of a creative type.

00000000000000000000000000000000000000

"I'm not really much of the creative type", Reg replied, "I usually just follow orders or go along with everyone. When I do try to get creative, the results are….usually not in my favor".

000000000000000000000000000000000000000

"I don't know. I'm not much of the creative type", Reg shrugged, as Waddle began to come up close to him, sniffing much to his bothersome.

"Don't worry about it, Reg", Mabel assured him, "We still have more creative types within our circle. Dororo!"

"Yeah no, I got nothing", Dororo replied.

"Oh….Wonder Terror it is!"

00000000000000000000000000000000

"You know, it's been a while since I befriended anyone around my age", Dororo said, "Especially people like these guys so it's going to be a bit hard to adjust with".

00000000000000000000000000000000

"Nikki! Since you've given our alliance a name", Mabel said, "You'll be our….uhhhh, second creative specialist".

"Awesome! Does that mean I get to wear something fancy?"

"Whatever you desire".

"Cool!"

000000000000000000000000000000

"From now on, I am going to only refer to myself as Vice Lord Nikki", Nikki said, "Has a nice ring to it".

000000000000000000000000000000

"And as for you two", Mabel moved onto Reg and Dororo, "Your….uhhh…the other, important creative member".

"That…doesn't sound all that special", Reg pointed out.

"I'll figure out a better name than that", Mabel assured him, "Now then, it is official! Guys! We are going to ace through this game like no other team has before. It would be like a super, rainbow dragon if he swallowed enough sugar to reach the star".

"Very specific comparison, but I like where you're going", Nikki said.

"Eh, I'll see where this go", Dororo said, "Kinda surprise you seem a lot more hyper, after what happen last night".

"Nah, that was nothing", Mabel told her, "It was a lot of fun and it totally got me pumped up".

"Sounds like the complete opposite for me".

"Eh, what can I say? Sometimes, I'm trauma-less…..wonder if that's an actual term? Eh, it doesn't matter. Just know, I have a high sense of durability both in mind and everything".

000000000000000000000000

"Okay, so I haven't confessed this to anyone about last night", Mabel confessed, "But I got extremely curious about that mysterious boy I met last. I didn't even slept! I doodle like crazy, keeping both me and Waddles awake all night. Like, who is he and where does he come from. Does he legit live in this area? I mean, I know it's probably part of Mxy trick, but part of me thinks otherwise".

0000000000000000000000000000

Idree stepped outside, sighing to himself and muttering to himself, wondering what he should even do now that he isn't going to be residing in his own room, "Great. Outside and having no idea what I'm supposed to do. I can't go out and explore much, since I don't know anything where I am".

He sighs to himself, then recollecting to himself, "I guess I'll just have to tried to…..converse with some of these people. Last night I wasn't in a good mood, so this time…..I'm going to try. Stupid Imp. Alright, let's see….."

Suddenly, he is startled as he turns to his right and sees Blitzwing in his tank mode, blasting away from tree's, "Dang it! I can't seem to get these fleas off of me!"

His hot headed mode then turned into his cold mode, "But it is still good target practice! Hahahahahahahaha!"

Idree is irked by them, finding the robot to be unbearable and creepy, "Totally not going to talk to that thing".

Idree then took notice of Gimpy, sitting on the ground playing with two of his Kenner Star Wars figures. A Tuskian Warrior and a Stormtrooper.

"Alright, I am lost with communication and have no weapon", Gimpy roleplayed himself, "I must take this Tuskian warrior down or else I'll end up a far worst state than Anakin mother. All I have is my trusty stick and the sand around me...wait no, this isn't sand. This is dirt. Darn! Now I ruined the storyline that I'm going with. Wish I brought along my Death Star 1978 set for this. Don't remember if I did".

"Weirdo", Idree uttered to himself, then he took notice of the Wonder Terror team.

He sees Mabel running and ramming her head against a tree. After ramming into it, she began to feel dizzy and fall to the ground.

"Okay, second thin to make it official is by ramming our head into the tree just because", Mabel said, "This is just a recommendation, not a requirement".

"Cool", Nikki said, "My turn".

"Yeah, I'm not doing it", Dororo replied.

"I…guess I'll go after Nikki", Reg replied, which surprised her.

"Seriously?" Dororo asked him, to which he gave a simple shrug.

"Nope. I am not going to try to talk with children's", Idree said, "Ugh, there isn't even anyone remotely I could interact with. No one even around my age".

"Hey Idree".

"Huh?" Idree turned his right to see Tomie, smiling and having both her arms behind her back.

This almost startled him a little, "Oh….it you. What do you want?"

"Sorry", Tomie remarked, "I notice you seem awfully bored today".

"Bored? What makes you assume that?"

"Hmm, no idea. I guess it just staying in this house, having nothing else to do but to talk, roam or watch TV. There isn't much on TV by the way. I'm not much of a TV person myself".

"Well…for your information, I was simply trying to get some fresh air", Idree told her, "So don't try to assume everything, girl. I could have you reported".

"For what? For simply having a conscious?" Tomie asked, finding his comment to be amusing as he laughed, which only irritated Idree.

"Whatever!" Idree then moved past her, heading back inside, "I'm going to the kitchen to get myself a beer".

"Wait, are you even the legal age to drink?"

"Yes, now shut up or…or….", Idree scoffed, ignoring what he was about to say, "Forget it".

00000000000000000000000000000000000000

"What? I'm not going to socialize with a girl", Idree confesses, "I do not befriend any girls. Nor do I trust them. Especially her. She is someone I would report quickly if she was in my home country. Now then, as for how things have been going so far in the socializing part, not well/ Not well at all".

0000000000000000000000000000000000

"Once again, Idree is a pretty fun guy to mess around with," Tomie confesses, "I really don't have much interest in coming up with strategy or forming my own alliance. Whatever these reality show's do. Am I careless? Maybe. Worry? not at all".

00000000000000000000000000000000000000000

In the living room, Hellboy is sitting on the couch, all while Vicky sat on the ground. Both of them watching TV, since they had nothing much to do, but passed the time.

Hellboy especially. Vicky, on the other hand, use this time to learn more about his surroundings.

"I have so many things to say", Vicky asked Hellboy, "Like, why does the beast show these kind of visions?"

"Eh, boredom I guess".

"Does it feel pain from it?"

"Not unless it bursts into fire. Hope that doesn't happen".

"Interesting", Vicky said, being more at awe by the TV.

0000000000000000000000000000000

"Staying here is great so far", Vicky confesses, "I know it's only been a day, but from what I learned, TV is a mysterious creature. Hellboy is a nice friend to have around and I guess the others are pretty good too. Can't find the right term to say, but they nice".

000000000000000000000000000000

Idree walked past them, as Hellboy took notice and casually greet him, "Hey Idree".

He stopped, trying to give a response, "Uhhh…..don't talk to me".

Then he walked away, awkwardly.

"Weird kid", hellboy shrugged, as he continued to flip to different channels.

Suddenly, a loud trumpet is heard in the room, which almost hurts Hellboy ear.

"What the hell?"

It was Archer, entering the room dressed in a royal sheet of his own blanket, a paper made crown, wearing robes and holding a trumpet.

Once he finished playing, he began talking, "Greeting my loyal followers. How thee this day going?"

"Umm what are you doing?" Hellboy asked, bewilder by what he's doing.

"What does it look like I'm doing?" Archer replied, "I'm celebrating. Well, I already celebrated last night with my whole raid party thing, but now this is my second celebration day".

"Your second celebration day?" Hellboy asked.

"Yep. Only this time, I have all day to do whatever I want", King Archer said, "Starting now, with the TV remote".

"Aw cr*p"

"Hand it over, red guy. Actually, I suppose to call you Hellboy, since calling you being red would indicate I'm being racist, which I am not".

"Wait, hold on Archer", Vicky states, "You cannot take the wand from him. He's the one worthy to tame the beast".

"Beast?"

"Yeah, just something funny I thought up, since he's new to this kind of stuff", Hellboy said to him.

"Well for your information, Viking Kid", King Archer told him, "I'm King so that means I hold a special degree of power in everything".

"So the title grants you special power?"

"Something like that, yeah".

"Special powers that are limited to him being an idiot", Hellboy said, mocking King Archer.

"Hey! My power is earnest and serviceable", King Archer states, as he snatch the remote from him, "Give me the remote! And also, give me a beer too. King needs some refueling in order to…uhhh…tame the beast".

Hellboy stood there, displeased by King Archer attitude, as well as disliking him being place in command.

"I think you should do what he says", Vicky whispers to Hellboy, believing every word from him, "We don't want to upset the beast".

0000000000000000000000000000000000000

"Being man of the house totally has its benefits", King Archer said, drinking a sip of wine, "And this is one of them. I mean, I can't believe I finally won something that makes me like a ruler or something. A ruler of my own hub. Now, I don't want to go mad with power or anything, buuuuuuut…I'm a little tempted to".

00000000000000000000000000000000000

In the kitchen, Lisa is writing down some things in her notebook, all while Octavia is eating a bowl of cereal, not caring or seemingly bored out of her mind.

Idree walked past them, opening the fridge and rummaging in it.

"Okay, almost done here", Lisa said to herself.

"Almost done on what?" Octavia asked.

"I finally finished our strategic plan for this show".

"Wait, our strategic plan?"

"Yeah, I thought that since you and I are technically team captains", Lisa said, "We probably need a guide journal to help us through. That is why I made this".

Lisa holds the notebook up, showing the title and the pink cover, "The official strategic guide of reality shows. Long title, I know. I'll think of a better name later".

"Huh, interesting".

"Want me to show you some ideas I got here? I could input some of yours in here".

"Eh, sure. I'm not much of the leader type, so go ahead".

"Ummmm right then!", Lisa began opening the book, "Here's our first strategy. Observation. Best way to win a competition is by our own eyes. So we need to observe our surroundings more closely. Get a better view. This includes observing our fellow contestant characteristics like…uhhh you, for example".

"Oh great, that's nice".

Lisa took notice of her shallow mood, feeling even a bit worried and nervous, "Uhh you know, a little enthusiasm would totally help to get a better understanding of this".

Octavia sighs to herself.

"Is something the matter, Octavia? You seem a bit down".

"Sorry", Octavia said, "Not even in a good mood, knowing who's the man of the house".

"Yeah, it is…kinda unfortunate", Lisa admits, "But hey, don't feel too down. At least you still have me here".

"Yea, I guess".

"Look at the bright side here. By the looks of it, Archer doesn't seem like the type to use his title for good, so I say we should step up our game and be a better leader than him".

"Like I say, I'm not much of a leader type".

"Oh…..well I'll help ya".

Then all of a sudden, a loudspeaker is heard across the room as everyone hears it.

"ATTENTION EVERYONE!" Mxy announced, "Head to the living room, immediately! Right now!"

00000000000000000000000000000000000000

"Am I tired? Yes", Octavia confessed, "Is it the result of Archer blasting his raid music during the night? Yes. Still, at least it's nice to have Lisa around. Even if I'm not even interested in being team captain in the first place".

000000000000000000000000000000000000

"I'm always there to help a friend out", Lisa confesses, "And yes, I do have my original priority that doesn't stop me from making some new friends. Starting with someone that I never thought I could confront or talk to".

000000000000000000000000000000000000000

Most of the contestants were in the living room, with the exception of some that aren't present yet. And ones like Blitzwing on this occasion, who had to stay outside while having to watch everything unfold inside through the window.

The only ones that are not present yet are Mabel, Nikki, Dororo, Reg, Idree, and Hancock.

Idree came in, sitting down with the rest of the cast and right next to King Archer, much to his misfortune as he was drinking beer and burping.

"I seriously hate him", Idree mutters to himself, "But again, I gotta try to go along with it. . Do not interact with those that annoy you. Just ignore them".

"Hey Idree, you are getting a bit too close to my comfort zone", King Archer told him, "Move further away from him".

"Screw you!"

"Ummm excuse me? Do you really want to go there? Messed with me, man of the house".

"I do not take orders from you".

"Just do what he says", Red Skull told him, crossed arm, "It better to let his delusion consume him more to make him incompetent for anything else".

Idree groaned, as he moved an inch away from King Archer, making him smirk and replied, with a smug tone, "Thank you".

Idree grumbled to himself, then Red Skull began to speak to him, quietly, "Save your anger for later in the challenge. It may help you in the long run".

"Whatever. I don't want to hear anyone's advice, but myself", Idree said.

00000000000000000000000000000

"The boy is still naive", Red Skull confesses, "But I can still work with it. If I'm going to use the boy for my objective, I must go through with it slowly and subtly as possible. I also must find a good opportunity to sway him to my side".

00000000000000000000000000000

Mabel, Nikki, and Waddle come running in the room and sitting down on the couch, while Reg and Dororo follow suit.

"Sup guys", Mabel began, "Hope we didn't miss anything".

"No, none at all", Lucy said, "We still kinda miss those tall women".

Ruby quickly took notice of Nikki's new attire.

Nikki wore an oversize, old green coat ( Wearing it like a cape ), old black boots and wearing a paper boat as headgear, "Whoa Nikki, you seem to dress up nicely".

"Yep! Gotta get into my new position here", Nikki said, "I found these randomly in a ditch, somewhere and I thought they fit me. The paper hat was made by me".

"Well it definitely looks nice on ya".

"I know! Makes me look like I'm ready to command a whole army".

"You look ridiculous wearing that attire", Idree told her, rudely.

"Well I think it looks far above the word cool", Mabel retorted, protecting Nikki's new looks, all the while still complimenting it.

"Whatever".

"Just ignore him", Mabel told Nikki, "You still got some good fashion taste".

"Thanks", Nikki replied, "Although, it does smell a bit weird wearing this".

"Well, it looks like everyone is finally here", Don remarked, walking in the room and Mxy popping in, "I think we seem to be missing one more person".

"Don't worry", Po assured him, pointing to Furrball sitting on the ground, "Little fur guy is right here".

"No, I feel like we are really missing someone".

Right on cue, Hancock finally made it, only she brought along someone or something, rather.

Salome followed her, but Hancock herself is seen pushing the same stone figure she brought home from last night, only she seems to draw a doodle face on it.

A smiling face with a stitch scar near the bottom left eye.

She finally pushed the stone near the confused cast, as she sat next to it, "Apology for my lateness. Had to…uhhhh, make sure my companion husband is all prepared".

"Umm…what is going on here?" Zulius asked, feeling weirded out by this.

"I'm weirded out by this" Ceviche remark, "And kinda scared".

"Why, I'm glad you ask", Hancock explained, "This here is my temporary, companionship, Stone Luffy".

"Stone Luffy?" Reg asked.

"Yes, Stone Luffy", Hancock said, "He's my..…..motivational companion".

"Are you crazy?" Idree asked, "You brought a rock inside this house? Tch, stupid women. It's clear you're going mad".

"SHUT UP! I will shove that turban down your eyes if you dare refer to me as stupid and mad!"

Her statement froze Idree in his place, fearful and stunned by that response.

Hancock recompose herself, as she continues, "Now then, as you know I hold a special heart toward my true love, Luffy. Since this is a sign of true love, I decided to take great care for this stone, for the eventual time when I marry the real one".

"So in other words, you're going to take care of your own sex doll" King Archer assumed, which offended her.

"It is not that, you filthy man. It is my personal…ummm…personal companion to help me through. Yeah, that's right".

"I think she's going insane", Po whispered next to Dororo, to which she nodded back.

"Yeah, isn't that obvious?"

"I heard that!" Hancock shouted, startling the two of them, "Don't make me go over there and strangle you!"

There was a moment of silence, until Mabel had to break it.

"Well, I don't want to make this seem totally awkward, but congrats!" Mabel said, "For making a new friend named Stone Luffy".

"Thank you", Hancock replied, pleased by her response, "I'm glad there is someone in this room that appreciates my new found companion here".

"Ugh, as long as it distracts you enough from doing anything stupid, I'll tolerate it", Idree said, crossing his arms.

0000000000000000000000000000000000000

"I hope this doesn't offend the real Luffy who might be watching this", Hancock confesses, "It would be devastating if he thinks I'm replacing him with a rock".

000000000000000000000000000000000000

"What? I'm just being supportive here", Mabel confessed, "Can't leave out a girl needing love in her life. I'm not the judging type, by the way".

000000000000000000000000000000000

"Ummmm, alright then", Don continued, "Seems about everyone is here then. Good. Now then, today is your second challenge of the day!"

"Yep! And we thought up something that is both fun and special!" Mxy added.

"Is it less crazy?" Octavia asked.

"Is it less dangerous?" Ceviche asked.

"Kinda! A lot more on the tamer side", Mxy replied.

"Yeah so, since I felt a bit bad about what happened last night", Don explained, "You all will participate in a more easy challenge compared to last time".

"Yep! And the reward for this challenge is worth it!"

"Yeah, I'm totally sure of that", Dororo sarcastically commented and crossed arm.

As Mxy pop up next to her, reinforcing his statement, "Trust me, it's worth it!"

Then he disappears and reappears next to Don.

"So what is this challenge all about?" Po asked, curiously and excitefully, "Is it something awesome? Involving some sort of obstacle course?"

"Even better!"

---

The cast and everyone else like Don, Mxy, Waddles, Salome, and Stone Luffy stood inside the cramped, dusty, and polluted room that is the attic.

There were tons and tons of boxes stacked, all spreading throughout the wooden room. Some were old, some were clean. Others contain stains, some seem torn open or ready to collapse.

Dust and webs scatter throughout the place. The lighting of the place is dimmed by one light bulb in the center, to which it creates some clearing in the area.

The reaction from the cast was…..not thrilling. In fact, some were disgusted, not happy, and are outright not liking this.

Vicky, Mabel, and Nikki are the only ones seemingly being at awe by this, with Ruby being curious and Lucy…having no reaction.

Octavia sniffed the air, remarking in disgust, "Ew! Is it me or does it smell like cr*p in here?"

"Smells like if dust manages to create a city of its own", Ceviche said, "Weirdly specific, I know".

"Wow, You really outdid yourself by making this attic as unbearable as possible", Hellboy sarcastically remarked to the Imp.

"Thank you. I went all out for this", Mxy said.

"You went a bit overboard with this", Don told him, "I made it perfectly clear that doing an attic cleaning is easy and tame enough".

"Come on, Don. Some touches are required to make this challenge seem more fun. You don't want to bore any of your contestants".

"Yeah well, I'm not getting any fun out of this", John Redcorn pointed out, lifting his shoe up to see he just stepped on a bunch of bugs.

Mxy explained, "Now then, here's the whole deal. In this attic cleaning adventure, your task is obvious. Cleaning!"

The mentioned of this cause some of the contestant to groan, particularly King Archer and Octavia.

"Oh goodie", Octavia sarcastically said, "Chores".

"Attic cleaning? Seriously?!" King Archer responded, "That's literally not my thing".

"Well too bad, Don's the one who suggested it", Mxy continued, "Anyways, you can start taking boxes out of the attic, dispose of any boxes or keep them. But before you do that, you got to clean the entire place. Scout every area and for added bonus, kill any living things in this room".

"Wait, hold up", Lisa asked, "There just living things roaming in the attic?"

"What kind of living thing?" Tomie asked.

"If it is a crocodile or an alligator, then no thank you", King Archer told him, "I rather sit myself out than do chores".

The mention of living things seems to frighten Furrball, causing him to hide behind Tomie.

"Yeah, care to elaborate?" Don asked, "Because I didn't request those".

"Oh, the usual", Mxy continues, "Bugs, rats, raccoons, snakes, and squirrelsI don't know. Just make sure the room is clean like a china glass. It's a pretty easy task".

"Some of those don't seem to be native here in Cambodia", Lisa pointed.

"And some of them sound beyond harmless", Zulius pointed out.

Mxy snapped his finger, causing a cleaning supply to appear.

The cleaning supply consists of a bucket with water in it, sponges, mops, dust mops, brooms, dust pan, wipers, spray cans, cleansers, and other more items that are stack in the pile.

"Tada! Cleaning supplies! The best of the best!" Mxy said, "Anyways, before me and Don leave, anyone got a question?"

"Yeah, the reward", Octavia asked, "What's the reward about?"

"Uhhhh, it's….a surprise!" Mxy said, "Take our word for it".

"Umm yea, we don't want to reveal it just yet", Don said.

"It's probably going to be disappointing", Hellboy mutters.

"Question!" Mabel loudly asked, "If we finished cleaning the attic, could some of us…uhhhh, use it for our personal benefits?"

"Hmmm, I see why not", Mxy said, "Guess you can consider that as a bonus reward".

"Yes!"

0000000000000000000000000000000000000000

"Perfect place to set up our operation for the Wonder Terror", Mabel confessed, "We could do it in our room's, but I thought we needed something like a special lair for us to do our own thing".

00000000000000000000000000000000000000000

"Now remember guys", Don said, "You got four hours! Get working!"

"Yep! Make sure you guys work as a team! Or not! I really don't care! Working as a team benefit everyone! But if one person clean the most, they…win something" Mxy snapped his finger.

Once Don and Mxy disappear in smoke, it left King Archer to take up command.

"Alright then, let's do this!" King Archer begins, "Everyone! Pick up a cleaning tool and start cleaning. Come on, let's go".

"Wait, shouldn't you participate too?" Po asked.

"Yeah, why are you making us do all the work", Octavia asked.

"Okay look" King Archer replied, "Since I'm Man of the House, that totally means I get to order all of you guys around. I deserve this leisure after all".

"How?" Octavia asked, dumbfounded by his claim, "You didn't do anything last challenge to earn it".

"Yeah, but I still won so I warrant it".

"Wish we were the winner, instead of this moron", Dororo muttered, crossing her arms.

"Quite irresponsible", Lisa remarked, "Considering someone with class like you, I expect you to take your job seriously".

"I do take my job serious, but not at the moment", King Archer said, "So I'm going to take a nap or whatever. You guys do all the work".

00000000000000000000000000000000000000000

King Archer confessed, "I mean then again, there's also that owl girl. What? As the man of the house, I have to make the right call here. It doesn't make me pretentious or lazy to do something like this".

0000000000000000000000000000000000000000000

( In the recording room )

"So question", Don asked Mxy, "When you mentioned he shares equal power to Octavia and Lisa, that would mean he's placing a huge amount of responsibility on them, right?"

"Uhh yeah, of course", Mxy told him, "Isn't that obvious?"

"It's kinda a bit, how I can say, too much for the two to handle. Especially if you take in the fact one of them is an eight year old girl".

"Don, just relax and let things happen. This is just a good…umm, learning experience. Yeah, that's right. Learning experience".

"Good learning experience for the cast or the viewers?"

"Both", Mxy said, "Don't make it too complicated, Don. Remember, I have everything under control here".

"Right", Don said, then asked, "Anyways, you think four hours is enough?"

"It's enough for us to planned out the next few episodes ahead. I'm thinking of doing….a storm surviving episode".

"A bit too extreme".

"Fine, I'll think of something 'tame' that could please you".

---

A tiny speck of a dust landed on Zulius shoulder, causing him to be startle and flinging his hand away to make it disappear, "Ew! Ugh! Already I hate this! I totally hate this. This is totally going to be the worst day in my life, more so than the time I got robbed at a fashion show".

"Tell me about it. I think I stepped something sticky",Ceviche said, lifting his leg up to show a yellow, sticky substance, "Ew".

Furrball took notice of a small, green puddle on the floor. As he got near it, the puddle began to move and screech, which startled him, causing him to hide behind Po.

"Well, I don't know about you guys, but I think we can totally ace this real quick", Nikki said, confidently, "No big deal".

"Yeah, your sure about that?" Zulius asked her, "Staying in that creepy, nasty jungle is one thing, but being forced to get your beautiful body dirty is a different matter that I will not tolerate!"

"Will you shut up", Idree told him, "I am seriously not going to participate with idiots like you complaining".

"No offense, but it sounds like a you problem, not us", Zulius told him, making him irritated.

"Come on guys, it probably isn't going to be that hard to do", Po said, picking up a wiper and moving to a sport beam with dust on it, "Watch me. It's just going to be an easy task".

000000000000000000000000000000000000

"Alright, so the last challenge was something I did not prepare for", Po confessed, "But this time, I'm hoping to start off without making myself come off as a joke. Like, for real this time".

00000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000

Po proceeded to wipe away the dust on the support beam.

The spot is clear….then the dust stain returns.

A bit confused, Po tried rubbing it off again.

It disappears and reappears.

Annoyed, he proceeded to rub it a bit faster.

Gone…..then returned.

This seemed to agitated Po so much, he then rubbed it much and much faster until all of a sudden, his hand burst into flames.

Startled and horrified, he ran around, looking for something to get rid of the fire, all the while other groups of contestants watched on, some were worried while others…are indifferent.

"Easy task, isn't it?", Red Skull sarcastically commented, "Not even a talking Panda wise word holds up".

Po manages to find a bucket of water and dip his hand in it, calming him down while cooling his hand off.

"I don't see what the problem is with cleaning up a place", Vicky said, "Why, my mother always believe in keeping things tightly and keep away any pest".

"Kid, sometimes some of us are…well, let's just say have a limitation when it comes to being productive", Hellboy said to him, "And this is one of them".

0000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000

"Already I knew Archer didn't seem too interested in doing anything productive", Lisa confessed, "It would be more surprising if he actually took up the mantle. Still though, it does give me an opportunity to at least learn from this. Learn to be in charge, get to know some of my competitors and help my new friend out".

000000000000000000000000000000000000

"Alright guys, listen up", Lisa announced, as she stood on a box, "Since we have 4 hours to clean this entire attic up, we must do it swiftly. That is why me and Octavia will be taking charge from here on out".

"Ummm excuse me, what?" Octavia asked, put off by her mentioning herself.

"This is silly", Idree confesses, "I will not take orders from a girl. Especially a little one".

"Would you rather take orders from Archer?"

"No, but it is the correct way of following someone".

"Oh Satan, he such a sexist dogsh*t", Octavia mutters.

"I heard that!" Idree said, "Also, just a reminder. I also don't take orders from you too, Owl wretch! Women shouldn't take the role of a leader, knowing how incapable they are".

"Hey! Screw you!" Octavia told him, as she was ready to confront him, not until Hellboy intervened.

"Whoa, take it easy you guys", Hellboy cut between the two, "Don't want to make this attic as cramp as it is".

"Oh come on, a little fight wouldn't lighten a mood a bit", Tomie said, grinningly.

"I really don't mind having a child lead this entire operation", Hancock added, still cresting near Stone Luffy, "As long as me and Stone Luffy are together, then I will tolerate it".

"I for one am a bit questionable about this", John Redcorn said, "I know Archer team won last challenge, but shouldn't the leadership role be given to someone else".

"Yes, someone that is far more intelligent and holds superior power", Red Skull said, as Redcorn turned to him with the following statement, "Someone that isn't an inferior race".

"Huh?"

"Listen, if you expect me to get my hooves dirty then no thank you", Zulius states to Lisa, "I rather stand here then do anything else. Literally".

000000000000000000000000000000000000

"I'll be real with ya", Zulius confesses, "I don't mind getting my hand dirty, when fate requires it! I only do things like chores and stuff, if it's motivational. This is not motivational! Also, why am I using the confession stall?"

000000000000000000000000000000000000

"Lisa, can I speak with you for a moment?" Octavia asked her, as she pulled Lisa away from the crowd, somewhere where they couldn't be heard.

"What is it?" Lisa asked.

"Lisa, I appreciate what you are doing here", Octavia told her, "But….I'm not too sure that I'm qualified to be the third in command".

"Third in command?"

"Yeah, like what? You think I'm second in command?"

"You don't want to take up the leadership mantle?"

"It's a lot of responsibility and frankly, I'm not too interested in doing it. I appreciate you want to help me, but sorry, no".

"Listen, I totally get where you are. I'm a bit nervous too, but we have to do this. Archer isn't willing to do anything, but slack around and do god knows what".

"Still wish elimination is a regular thing so I could vote and that Idree fellow off".

"Look, all I'm saying is I need you to go along with it. I have…some experience in leadership role".

"Some experience?"

"Yes. If I could apply those in the same way here, you and I will definitely make it through", Lisa said, "And besides, I bring with me my strategy book".

"I…don't know-".

"Octavia please. Just follow my lead".

00000000000000000000000000000000000

"Again, not too interested in doing this", Octavia confesses, "But it's Lisa so I can't really deny her".

00000000000000000000000000000000000

Back to the contestant, some were mixed about this.

The one who's more differ and the one who is willing to speak his word out is Idree.

"This is idiotic", Idree remarked, "First I'm forced to endure everything. Now I'm forced to follow girl's".

"You know, with how many time you say force", Gimpy said, "Makes me really want to make a Star Wars reference right about now…..don't know what kind of joke, but I'm sure I'll think of something".

"I don't see much of a complaint", Dororo said, "It really doesn't affect me that much".

"Maybe you should give them a try, Idree", Ruby suggested.

Idree ignored her comment and then asked the others, "Any of you find this to be a bad idea. Excluding those who are not men. Huh, anyone?"

"Why are you asking us?" Hellboy asked, "For a guy who doesn't seem to want to talk to any of us, you sure are demanding".

"I told you, I have no issue with this", Hancock said.

"And I told you, I specifically ask for the men in this group", Idree states.

"You know, I really don't know much about Lisa to know wether she's good at leading", Mabel said, "All I know is I'm ready to get this show going so I can win this for my team!"

"Wait, team?" Ceviche asked, "What do you mean by that?"

"It means we going to destroy ya all!" Nikki shouted at him, startling him, to which Mabel try to calm her down.

"Whoa Nikki", Mabel told her, "Save all that excitement for later".

"Sorry, sorry, thought it would be a good time to do that", Nikki then asked her, "Also, you think we should tell everyone about our…..Wonder Terror?"

"Hmmm….don't know. We probably need to put this in an elective vote. Waddles will be our decider".

As everyone is conversing among each other, Lisa confronts the cast that have mixed opinions about this.

"Okay everyone listen up, I get some of you are not on board with this", Lisa explained, "Heck, I can totally relate in some way. But here's the thing, any day or now, there's a chance of elimination. It's rare, but it may happen. So in order for us to not go home that may come off as a waste of time, we should all go through this and get this over together, as a group".

"Tch", Idree utter, crossed arm, then he's being nudge by Red Skull to force to agree or at least, accept her position for now.

Idree sigh to himself, as replying back in defeat, "I hate this. I hate you and I hate being here, but…..I'll go through with this. Just don't expect me to take orders from you, child. Or…anyone else for that matter".

"Frankly, I wasn't expecting you to do so", Octavia told him out of spite, "You d*ck".

"Say!- You know what, nevermind", Idree said.

"If I'm being quite honest here, I never expect myself to follow the order of a…child", Red Skull confesses, "But no matter. I will tolerate it….for now. Just like Idree".

"Uhh great. Glad your guys are okay with this", Lisa continued, "Okay so here's how we are going to do it. In order for this entire place to be cleaned, we need to do this together, without splitting up as a group. So everyone, let's get cleaning!"

"But wait, what about Blitzwing?" Reg asked her.

"Yea, we can't really leave the big guy out", Nikki states.

"Oh right, Blitzwing", Lisa replied, "Hmm…..we probably need to figure that out".

---

Outside at the back of the mansion, Blitzwing sat there by himself.

Alone….with the sound of the rustling and whistling of the jungle forest in front of him.

"Hmmm….maybe signing up on this show wasn't a good decision on my part", Blitzwing said, in his cold mode, "Don't remember why I signed up".

He then switched to his more hot headed mode, as he began ranting, "Why bother signing up?! It be more time consuming if we start blasting those losers back at Cybertron!"

Then he switched the crazy mode, "Oh! But we would have nowhere to go! And nowhere to get an ice cream cone!"

Then a bird flies nearby…..allowing Blitzwing to aim it and fire at it for no reason at all.

0000000000000000000000000000000

"Now I know this is pretty much early in the game", Lisa confesses, "I haven't really known much about everyone, based on what I've seen. So I'm going to try to go through this based off my strategy book that I have not yet given a name yet".

0000000000000000000000000000000

"I do not follow anyone that is a girl", Idree confesses, "Back in my home, we forbid a woman from leading. It is unethical. So it is quite humiliating".

0000000000000000000000000000000000

"Okay Waddles, we are going to be here for a while, so…" Mabel said, while holding Waddles up and putting him down next to Salome who took notice, "Go play with your new friend!"

Waddles stare at it with a blank expression.

Salome stares at him, until it eventually opens his mouth and hiss, causing Waddle to squeal and run off as Salome chases after him.

( Insert Loverboy-Working for the Weekend ).

The cleaning commenced! Or in this case, a series of montages.

King Archer sat on boxes that formed like a throne, clicking opening a can of beer and taking a sip of it.

Lisa put on a headband and proceeded to wipe the floor with a cloth, seriously.

Hellboy carried Vicky on his back, allowing Vicky to dust away the spider webs attached above between support pillars.

Furrball, Octavia, and Tomie are still trying to figure out how to get rid of the puddle.

Octavia tries to pour water over it, which causes it to expand and grow, which surprises her and Furrball.

Gimpy rummaging through the boxes pulled out a old toy of a lightsaber, which made him gleeful.

He began to swing the old saber around, until he accidentally smacked it behind John Redcorn, knocking him into the boxes.

A bit startled, he began to pretend not having done that and move on.

Back to the green puddle situation, Furrball tried to use a mop to get rid of it. Slowly reaching it, until suddenly it shot out a projectile, which strapped around his neck, strangling him.

Octavia came to the rescue, as she tried hitting the thing with a broom.

Ruby scrubbed the floor, admiring the floor's splendid shininess…..until King Archer walked by and tossed a can of beer onto the exact same spot, which spilled beer liquid on it, which baffle Ruby.

Idree uses a broom to brush away webs from a bunch of boxes, which one of the dust caught into his mouth, causing him to start choking.

Furrball pant to himself after the ensuing struggle with the puddle, as Octavia and Tomie try to think of something else to get rid of the puddle.

Soon Nikki came by, holding up a mysterious blue bottle that she thought could get rid of it.

Once she pour the substance on ot, the puddle began to have a instant, crazy reaction.

Then all of a sudden, it started to expand, expand and expand, much to their shock, as they ran off as it got expanded.

Dororo wipe around with a broom, until bumping a bunch of boxes, which spilled dozens of gold coins on the floor.

Taking notice of it and looking around, suspiciously, she bent down and began swiping every gold coin down her bag, snickering herself.

Ceviche uses a brush and a wiper like skate shoes as she slide through the area like an ice dancer, opening his arm out for an applause until crashing into a pile of boxes and screaming, due to being covered in needles.

John Redcorn wipe a seemingly random robot, until the robot became alive and started strangling him.

Noticing Red Skull who casually picked up a book, he tried to reach for him, only for the Red Skull to walked past by him and ignore his plea.

Idree and Ruby were cleaning a bunch of glass vases, until Ruby accidentally bumped into him, causing him to drop a vase.

He took notice with an angry glare, to which Ruby tried to give a shrugging apology, to which he rolled his eyes and continued, until he got knocked out by a golf ball.

A golf ball that struck him, as a result of King archer fooling around with a golf stick.

Hancock is vacuuming the floor, all a while being flatter by Stone Luffy presence. This causes her to accidentally sucked up Furrball tail, making him struggle in his dear life to remove it.

( 3 horrendously hours later! ).

After a long hour of cleaning, Lisa swipes the sweat from her forehead and admires the work in front of her.

"Phew! Welp, I think we did a good handy job here people", Lisa said, as the others joined and took a look at their work.

Only to realize…they still haven't cleaned the remaining rest of the area, only having cleaned the surrounding, open area near them.

Everything was still cramp, dark, dirty, clustered, and dusty. With the addition of the green, shrub growth as the result of Nikki having poured a mysterious substance on the puddle, which made the attic come off as more wild like.

Much to everyone's surprise and disappointment, as Nikki took a close glance at the bottle, "Ooooooh….yeah, I should've checked. This is a growth serum, not acid".

"Growth serum?" Octavia asked, "How did it end up in our f*cking cleaning supplies?"

"I don't know. Probably by accident?"

"I don't think these products are even cleaning supplies", John said, picking a corn can.

King Archer came back, taking one look at their unfinished work here and remarking while holding a beer can, "Wow, you guys are suck at this. At least put more effort in your work, guys. This is ridiculous".

"Say's the guy who hasn't done a single work", Octavia pointed out.

"Umm reminder, I'm still at my leisure hour here".

After he said that, he tossed the beer can away with a pile of more beer cans, making the attic even more of a mess.

000000000000000000000000000

"Okay, so working through the challenge without adding any input from me and Octavia wasn't a good idea", Lisa confess, "Go figure".

00000000000000000000000000000

"Great strategy", Idree sarcastically said to Lisa, "Work together, you say. Getting through this by following you and your owl pet command, you say. How's that position going for ya? Feeling proud of yourself?"

"Hey, leave Lisa alone", Octavia told him off, "She's at least trying here".

"Yeah,by trying you mean nothing", Idree told her, "I haven't seen you two do anything note worthy.

"Look, can we please get back to the challenge at hand, here", Lisa said to them, "Let's just continue on like we usually do".

---

( Recording room )

"Sooooo….Mxy, about the condition of the attic" Don asked the Imp, as both are in their lounging chair, watching the screens, "Is it…safe to clean in it?"

"What do you mean by that? I made it as dirty as possible".

"Yeah, but I meant as in..if it's like, you know it doesn't have any toxic waste in it or has tons of deadly disease in it".

"Ugh, this again! I told you, I got everything under control! There's nothing you should worry about. If there is something going on, then I'll intervene".

"Still, those cleaning supplies don't look professionally made".

"They well made enough to protect them, I can guarantee".

---

( Back to the attic ).

As everyone resume back to their work ( With King Archer resuming back to him slacking off ), Lisa pulled out her strategy book and flip through the pages.

"Hey Lisa, just ignore what that douche had to say", Octavia told her, referring to Idree, "He's clearly still tick off without any ounce of stopping".

"I know", Lisa said, "I'm not letting his insult get the better of me".

Finally, Lisa stopped on a specific page she was looking for, "Aha!"

"What is it?"

"I think I find our next good strategy", Lisa said, "In order for us to be good leaders, we'll just have to help our fellow competitor out".

"Wow, what a big surprise".

"Yeah, not really all that surprising", Lisa said, "But it's good to keep note of it".

"Whatever. So how are we going to approach this?"

"Hmm….guess we'll pick someone random who need some help. I'm sure it won't be too hard".

"Let's hope so".

00000000000000000000000000000000

"I'm putting a lot of trust in Lisa because one, she's nice and isn't as weird as everyone else", Octavia confesses, "And two, she's willing to help me out, even if I wasn't too interested in doing so".

0000000000000000000000000000000000

Idree continues with his chance of trying to socialize within his community in order to try to adapt.

"Really hate those girl's", Idree thought, "Anyways, I gotta continue to try to talk with anyone that isn't a freak".

While not kind to anyone specifically, he chose John Redcorn to be the perfect one. Or at least, the tamer of the group, as he approaches and start a conversation, all a while John is cleaning some vases.

"So yellow girl and owl girl", Idree said, "Quite an annoying bunch to have them lead us, huh?"

"Are you….talking to me?" John asked him.

"Of course", Idree said, "Having the Imp picked these two as second and third command grinds my gear. Makes me wish that didn't happened".

"Uhhhh….right".

John awkwardly continue to clean the vases, all a while Idree tried to come up with a specific topic for them to discuss.

He eventually did, "So…your Native American, right?"

"Yes", John Redcorn replied, "From Texas to be precise".

"I see….", Idree replied, once again in silence as he try to come up with something to speak of, "So what do you practice?"

"What?"

"What do you practice? I mean, your job".

"Oh, well I uhhh….do healing".

"Healing?"

"Yes".

More awkward silence continue, as Idree finally spoke up again, "So what? Your people have healing ability or….."

"Hey! You two", John Redcorn quickly move away from the awkward conversation that is going on, as Lisa and Octavia confront them, "Glad you came by. Me and, uhhhh Idree, were just talking on….stuff".

"Ugh, what do you two want?" Idree asked them, "Don't you two have business to take care of? Like, planning your suppose strategy".

"Well we just came by to see if anyone is need of help", Lisa said, "Do you need any help?"

"Help? Ha! Yeah, as if I require help from you two", Idree told them, as he began to walk away, "I'm going some where else".

This brings great relief to John as he mutters, "Finally, he's gone".

"So John Redcorn", Lisa asked him, "Do you need any help? Like legit, any help?"

"Uhh no thanks. I'm already fine where I am", John said, "Also, you seem a bit pale, are you alright?"

"Pale? What are you talking about?" Lisa asked him.

"Yea Lisa, you seem to be getting a bit pale for some reason", Octavia took notice, feeling a little worried.

"I'm fine", Lisa assured her, "Let's move onto the next person. I'm sure the paleness is just….something, I don't know. Probably nothing".

Octavia was uncertain and did seem quite worried, but she continued to follow her.

The next person is Hancock, as she is seen cleaning her Stone Luffy.

"There. All clean up my dear", Hancock said, "What's that? You think I did it a bit too roughly. Oh silly me. I should really be more careful".

"Uhhh Hancock, what are you doing?" Lisa asked her, both her and Octavia being weirded out by her action.

"Oh, well…umm", Hancock is quick to be snap into reality, "I was…checking if my friend here is doing okay. Nothing to worry about".

"Ummm right", Lisa said, "Anyways, we were wondering if you need any help".

"I don't think she really needs any help by the looks of it", Octavia said to her.

"Hmm well, I suppose you two could take care of Salome over there", Hancock pointed, showing Salome squeezing a squealing Waddle, "He needs a bit of human company".

"Uhhh yea! We'll…totally do that", Lisa said, as she whispers to Octavia, "Let's move onto the next person".

0000000000000000000000000000000000000

"Okay, strategy wise it is becoming a lot more complicated than I thought", Lisa confessed, "Nothing to worry about. First day is just the beginning of where I am now. There's always improvement. Also, does anyone feel a bit cold here?"

000000000000000000000000000000000000000

Cutting to somewhere else, Idree is seen talking to Furrball of all people, as Furrball is seen pushing some boxes away. Struggling, due to his less desirable strength.

"You know what I can't stand", Idree speaks, "People trying to use me. It's almost as if I can't have a single day of my own. Like, that stupid Imp said something I should be enjoying myself, yet here I am being forced to do laboring work. Can you believe this?"

Furrball stopped to catch some breath. As he leaned near some boxes, one of the objects fell onto him. A boiling ball to be precise.

Idree sigh to himself, coming to a realization, "What am I doing talking to a cat? It is hopeless to find anyone I could talk to".

"Idree!"

"No, no, you stay away from me", Idree talks back to Lisa and Octavia, as they confront him, "Whatever you make me want to do, forget it".

"See. What did I told you", Octavia said to Lisa, "Douche here can't even try to respond without acting like an a**".

"Idree, calm down", Lisa said, "We here because we want to help you with anything".

"Help? No, I'm very doubtful you two are willing to help".

"Come on, Idree".

"Nope. Not buying it".

"IDREE!" King Archer yelled, as he came by to require someone to assist his need, "Idree, I need your help. My throne is getting way too uncomfortable to sit on, due to my consistent composure of piling empty beer camp on top of it. So I need you to clean it up for me, okay?"

"What? I'm not doing that".

"Ummm hello", King Archer reminded, "I'm Man of the House. So as Man of the House, I'm ordering you to do it. Otherwise, there's a good chance I may use you as good target practice".

"What?!"

"May considering using you, okay? I'm trying to think of something else, but that's all I got. So get going".

Idree groaned, not before deciding to give Lisa something to do out of spite, "You! I want you to clean those plates over there for me, got it?!"

"Sir, you have no idea how you grateful you are to have us as captains".

---

Dororo groans, getting pretty tired to continue with this work, with Reg following her, "This is getting really tiresome to continue with this, right Reg?"

"Uhhh yeah", Reg replied, "I mean, I'm not tired but I totally get what you are going through".

"Three hours inside this place", Dororo said, crossing her arms, "It drives me crazy. I'm used to this kind of stuff, but boy is this unbearable".

Reg simply shrugged, "Well, it certainly isn't easy, but hey it beats the last challenge where we almost got lost and killed".

Then Dororo got an idea. Looking both ways and whispering to Reg, "You know, after having found some gold coins it kinda gives me an idea. Wanna sneak out?"

"Sneak out?"

"Yeah, explore the place", Dororo said, "Find some neat stuff around here that we could keep".

"Uhhh…I don't know", Reg replied, being uncertain, "What about the challenge?"

"Eh, looks like a lost cost", Dororo said, "No way we are going to finish cleaning this entire room up in an hour. Might as well use this time to our own benefit".

"I guess…..should we bring Mabel and Nikki?" Reg pointed.

Mabel is seen jugging down a pink bottle of soap, stopping and hiccuping, remarking, "Uhhhh I don't know why I drank it. I thought for sure it would taste like gum".

"Mabel! I mean, President Mabel", Nikki came to her, holding a water gun, "Look what I found! A water gun! I find this in a pile with more water guns. This one seem to still have some inside it"

She pressed the trigger, causing it to squirt water out from it, much to Mabel amazement, "Whoa, that's so cool!"

"I know! Want to play water tag?"

"Are you insane?! That would be too irresponsible for a team leader like me would do!"

"Soooooooo….that's a no?"

"Are you kidding? Unleash the water!"

"Heck ya!"

"Eh, they be fine", Dororo told Reg, gesturing to him to come along, "Let's go".

00000000000000000000000000000000000

"Having Reg around definitely seems like a benefit", Dororo confesses, "He's like Aniki, only he's much around my age and doesn't act too much like an infant. Still, I hope Aniki is doing okay".

000000000000000000000000000000000000000000

"I really don't know why I follow her around'', Reg confesses, "I guess it's just out of a sense of familiarity. Or close to familiarity, since we both share the same room together. I think after last night, I kinda have some what of a connection with her".

00000000000000000000000000000000

Ruby has finished cleaning the floor, admiring her handy work, "Welp, I'm all finished. Made it look gleaming, despite this being hard wood. Man, who knew there would be this many boxes".

She remarked, after standing up and looking at her surroundings, she then realized something, "Huh, guess I went a bit too far into the attic. Now I'm lost".

Unknown to her, a mysterious figure slowly crept its way to her.

The small figure clad itself with traditional Khmer armor, complete with a headgear. It has ears resembling a combination of bat and elf ears. He has grayish, blue skin and long,black hair that reaches to his neck.

He's also holding a spear, as he slowly approaches Ruby.

"Welp, I guess I need to retread my memory for this", Ruby said to herself, looking around, "Now where did I leave off from?"

Just then, she felt a small poke coming from her foot. Looking down, she sees it.

The small figure poked her with his spear.

A bit surprised and amused, she responded with a greet, "Oh, hi there little guy".

The figure took notice of her. Startle, he quickly ran back into the open gap, disappearing in the darkness.

"Hey, wait! I'm not going to harm you or anything".

"Who are you talking to?"

She turned and saw Lucy, holding what appeared to be a skull.

"Lucy! Oh, I'm so glad to see you", Ruby replied, "Kinda trail off by mistake".

"It's fine", Lucy assured her, "I found this random skull. Thought it looks neat".

"That's…neat to know".

"I guess", Lucy said, "By the way, who were you talking to?"

"Who?"

"I saw you talking to some little guy".

"Oh yeah", Ruby turned toward the direction of where the small figure ran off to.

The small figure poke his head out, until she noticed him then he retreated back.

"Hey, don't be frightened", Ruby said to the small person, confronting him, "I'm not gonna hurt you".

"You know, it's not helping we both are pale and wearing all black", Lucy commented, "Just saying".

"Don't worry about our appearance", Ruby said to the person, "We….just have weird fashion senses".

The small figure looked at her, curiously and cautiously, as he finally came out.

"See", Ruby said to both the small figure and Lucy, "Nothing to worry about".

The small figure then jumped onto her head and began poking her head with its spear, stopping and being a bit confused.

"Okay, I'm going to guess the little guy needs more than simple words to think we are harmless".

"We don't exactly have weapons", Lucy said, "Well, if you count me holding a skull as one".

"How does a skull automatically make it a weapon?"

"Simple. You throw it at someone".

"Oooooh, gotcha".

The small figure jumps off her head and gestures to them to follow.

"What it saying?" Lucy asked her.

"I think it wants us to follow him".

"Think we should?"

"Well, on one hand we do need to get back to the challenge", Ruby said, "But on the other hand….."

0000000000000000000000000000000000000000

"Okay, sometimes curiosity can get the better of me". Ruby confesses, "But hey, at least we made some interesting friends along the way. Not how I would expect this day to turn out like this, but it is a welcome one".

00000000000000000000000000000000000000000

Idree is still forced to pick up several beer cans and put in trash bags, while King Archer keeps on throwing it at him and sitting in his throne.

"Keep up the good…actually, bad work you are doing here", King Archer shouted, throwing more beer cans at a disgruntled Idree, "You doing a pretty not so swell job here".

"Will you shut up!" Idree responded back.

"I would, but I'm not obliged to do so. Keep up the pace!"

Several more beer cans are thrown in his direction, much to his already annoyance.

While he was doing just that, Red Skull came by whistling to himself

Seeing it as a perfect opportunity to manipulate the boy in his favor, he came by, sat on the box and read a book, "I see you have finally cool down your anger, boy. Tired, I presume?"

"Of course I'm tired", Idree yelled at him, "Tired of being stuck in here. Now it seems like that I can't talk with anyone, those two girls are starting to annoyed me and oh yeah, King Idiot is forcing me to do labor work".

"Hmmm yes, quite the unfortunate predicament".

"Hmph, it's not as bad as what I used to endure back at home", Idree told him, "I mean, who does he think he is? Same goes with the girl's".

"I see", Red Skull then told him, "Once again, I must advise you to save your anger for later. It may help you make it farther, if you use your anger for something more productive. Instead of tossing your emotion around".

"Do I have to put up a sign saying, I don't need any advice?!"

Red Skull simply shrugged, flipping the next page of his book, "You know, I'm a bit aware you are unable to socialize with anyone".

"Oh, you think?"

"I notice you didn't try to talk with anyone in this room", Red Skull said, "Besides the few you were able to talk to. Some cat and a inferior, endangered species".

"Everyone so far has been annoying. How am I supposed to connect with anyone? And why are you still trying to talk to me? You do know I am not easily sway".

"I am aware of that. And really, I don't care whether or not you're willing to listen. But do consider my advice. use your anger wisely. Using it for socializing with anyone won't make your life easier".

"I haven't seen you socializing with anyone".

"True, but my anger is not the problem. I have disciplined my anger to know when it is right and when it isn't to express it. You, on the other hand, have much to learn".

"I don't need to learn. I have my own rights to do whatever I want".

"You do", Red Skull told him, "Oh, you do. How about this, if you need some assistance, stay near me and I'll assist you in any need as possible. In return, you listen to me and only me. Follow through everything I order and you will be safe from any potential problems that may hit you".

"Reminder! Again! I'm not interested in doing alliances. I told you before".

"This isn't an alliance. It is me offering you a bit of guidance, whether you are interested or not. I could care less if you do not want to".

00000000000000000000000000000000000000000

"The boy needs some guidance", Red Skull confesses, " If I needed a lackey or perhaps someone to follow me, then it is him. It reminds me when the fuhrer laid his eyes on me, seeing the anger within my eyes. Seeing it as great potential. Quite poetic if I may add".

0000000000000000000000000000000000000

Lisa came by ( Who is more pale than ever ) completely baffled by the fact Red Skull isn't working. Or in this case, slacking off, "Skull, what are you doing? This isn't break time".

"I am working", Red Skull replied, sarcastically, "I'm learning".

"Well save the learning for later. We have a tight schedule here, do you understand? We have like only half an hour to finished this"

"Hmmm….."

Lisa rolled her eye's, feeling it would be useless to try to make a war criminal do anything useful.

Just then, she is bumped by a squealing and running Waddles, still being chased by Salome, to which she stepped out of the way to avoid a terrible accident.

"Hancock!" Lisa called out to her.

Hancock is seen still cresting near her Stone Luffy, all the while laughing and conversing as if he's a real person.

"Oh my temporary husband companion, you always know how to make me laugh", Hancock said to him, "such a gentleman".

"Uhhh Hancock, your snake friend is still chasing after Waddles", Lisa said to her.

Hancock did not pay any attention to her, still glaring at her affection to Stone Luffy.

"Okay then, just ignore me. Good", Lisa said, sarcastically, feeling a bit frustrated.

Then Lisa is being sprayed with water by Mabel, who is wearing a gas mask and holding a water gun.

"Tremble Nikki!"

"Hey?!"

"Oh", She lift her helmet up to see her, "Sorry, thought you were Nikki. Helmet is a bit blurry to see, but I couldn't help myself. It just looks cool wearing it".

"Okay, why are you two goofing off here?" Lisa asked the two of them, as Nikki joined in, "We have like half an hour to be in here and we still haven't cleaned this entire attic".

"Wait, it's been half an hour?" Nikki asked.

"Yes!"

"Huh, it didn't feel like a half an hour".

"Yeah, felt like a few minutes", Mabel said, "Unless this attic is warping our mind's, then I don't know what's even up".

"Look you two, please focus on the challenge", Lisa told the two, "It's getting frustrated keeping track and focus with some of you guys trailing off".

"Please, we would never trail too off", Nikki states, "Well, not counting a few of our guys that went missing and Po…eating that pile of cabbages over there".

She pointed at Po, who is sitting next to the pile of boxes, eating cabbages to himself. Then he took notice and paused for a moment, "What? There was a stash of cabbages here. Can't help myself".

Lisa groaned to herself, as she walked away.

0000000000000000000000000000000000000

"I think morale is starting to be a problem here", Lisa confesses, "I can't tell anyone what to do, since nobody seems to bother listening to me. Being in the attic is starting to take a huge toll on everyone, including me. Whatever, I got to keep going".

000000000000000000000000000000000000000000

"Sooooo…..what now, president Mabel?" Nikki asked her, "Shouldn't we suppose to focus on winning this thing so we could get the attic?"

"Huh, oh yeah that. Darn it, we shouldn't be slacking off", Mabel said, "Perhaps it wasn't a good idea to do water tagging during a challenge".

"Yeah, but it was still pretty fun".

"Yep", Mabel said, "But now, we need to figure a way to get this place clean fast before the one hour is up. Nikki, you got any idea?"

"Hmm…..how about we make something that could solve our problem. Like, some kind of explosive or something".

"Explosives?"

"Yeah, like a soap explosive where it explodes, soap is splatter everywhere and everything is clean".

"You sure it's going to work. Like, it sounds wicked don't get me wrong-"

"Mabel, I promise you from my heart it will work. Definitely".

000000000000000000000000000000000000

"No matter how absurd it is", Mabel confesses, "I'm always in a belief that ideas like Nikki could work. Logic? What's that? All you need to solve your problem is with a bit of explosives".

000000000000000000000000000000000000000

Meanwhile, Vicky, having brushed the floor, stood up in complete exhaustion, whipping away the sweat from his forehead.

"Phew, all this hard work", Vicky remarked to himself, "Is making my arm's feel like it's ready to fall apart, right Hellboy?"

Vicky looked around, noticing that his big friend Hellboy isn't around.

"Hellboy? Where are you?"

Confused, and a little bit concerned, he decided to go look for him.

As for Hellboy himself, he's somewhere away from the group, speaking through his walkie talkie, "I told you, I got nothing much to report here yet…..Listen, it's only been one day since I've been here, can you guys take it easy on me?"

"Hellboy, what are you doing?" Vicky asked him, having finally found him.

Quickly hanging up, Hellboy turned and responded, "Uhh nothing, just thought I looked around".

"Well don't look too long around here", Vicky said, "As much as this place seems quite mysterious and ancient, I have a itching feeling it may hide something dangerous in here".

"You sure?"

"Yeah".

Hellboy stood, looking around, "Seems like it. Surprise we haven't encountered something dangerous yet".

"I know", Vicky said, "Maybe this 'danger' is probably waiting for the right moment to strike".

"Maybe".

Suddenly, they stopped as they heard a rattling noise coming from behind.

Turning around to face it, they can hear it. Sounds of rattling and crunching, almost as if there are….a city of snakes located in the far distance.

Hellboy decided to investigate, with Vicky following suit right behind him to check it out.

Once he reached it, he finally saw it.

Before them stood a cow. A cow that is not familiar to any man. Its furs are deep black and bloody. The eyes are blank white. The horns are twisted in a way that resembles snakes. It almost seems like they are moving.

Speaking of snakes, the creature is seen devouring tons and tons of corpses of snakes, still fresh. Blood pouring from the mouth. The creature crunches it, but pauses as it stares at the cast.

They stop the creature from devouring the pile of dead snakes, consuming them like noodles.

"Oh great, I just lost my appetite", Hellboy remarked, sarcastically, as Vicky hid behind his back.

Vicky was shocked and terrified by that thing, while Hellboy remain casually calm about it.

---

"Umm Mxy, what is that thing?" Don asked.

"That my friend, is a Kting Voar!" Mxy responded, "Otherwise known as the snake eating cow".

"Why did you add that thing in this challenge?"

"Thought it would stirred up some tension, that's all".

"Yeah, but like….a cow eating snake?!"

"Don, you need to chill down".

"Chill?! How can I chill down?!" Don asked him, "I just assume the animals you mentioned were harmless, but now you include that…thing?!"

"What? It creates good tension".

---

The cow beast took notice of them. Moving toward their direction, almost as if it is ready to attack, and that these strangers have interrupted his meal.

Hellboy held his hand out to keep Vicky out of the way, as he pulled out his pistol.

"This creature doesn't look friendly", Vicky remarked, "It looks mad".

"I can probably guess why it's mad".

"You going to try to kill it, right?"

"Uhh yeah", Hellboy said, "Hate to do this to this guy, but I have no choice".

"Wait, perhaps there might be a way we could stop it", Vicky suggested, "Like, lure it into a trap and be trapped".

"Kid, we are in an attic. Not a forest".

"I'm not referring we should make a hole".

Then one of its horns began to stretch out and snatch Hellboy, wrapping it around its horn and flinging him in the air.

The creature began to slam him on the floor, as well as across the boxes, each hit being painful to his back.

"Hellboy!" Vicky exclaimed.

"I'll be fine, kid!" Hellboy said, as he is being slammed to the ground, "Just! Another! Ordinary! Day! For! Me!"

Vicky quickly looked around to see something that could stop the beast and he saw a net.

Quickly grabbing it and running toward it, much to Hellboy shock, "Kid! What are you doing?! Stay back!"

"I'm coming to save you, friend!" Vicky shouted, as he jumped onto the beast, which caused it roar and run off, with the boy still clutching onto his back.

00000000000000000000000000000000000000

"Dang, can I have a day without getting my a** hurt?" Hellboy said, "Is it too hard to ask?"

000000000000000000000000000000000

Elsewhere, Dororo ran around and kept on collecting interesting items to put in her saggy bags of hers.

These range from more gold coins to small, weird looking statues, diamonds, and other unique items.

All while Reg stood there as he watched.

"Man, this room is rich with all sorts of things to get from", Dororo said to him, "Can you believe that?"

"Yeah, I guess", Reg replied, "I'm surprised the host would go through the effort in adding these things in here",

"Guess all we had to do is just clean and that's it. The rest is free for the picking".

Reg nodded.

"Say Reg, you've been pretty quiet for a while", She said, as she moved onto the next box to stick her hand in, "Is something the matter?"

"Uhhh, nothing".

"Come on, you can tell me".

"Well…..I hope this doesn't come off weird", Reg said, "But am I the only one bothered by what happened last night?"

"I don't know. I just assume it is just one of the Imp tricks and nothing more".

"True, but….I don't know. Something about that mysterious creepy lady and those three kids we encounter…seem off. They seem too real to me".

"Eh, the Imp probably took a lot of effort in making them unique or stand out. Just…try to ignore it, okay?"

"Right", Reg replied, as even if he is aware of the Imp tricks and likely think so, deep down he knew something is a bit off with what happened last night.

To him, it is important and serious. But to Dororo, she didn't seem to care that much.

"Ow! Hey!"

"Huh? What's wrong?" Reg asked her, worryingly.

"Something just poke me!" Dororo said, as she angrily grabbed something out of it.

It was the same species of a small figure, although this time with long black hair and a different attire.

This surprises both of them.

"What is that?!" Reg asked.

"I have no clue", Dororo responded, as the figure poked her finger with its staff, "Ouch!"

Causing Dororo to throw him to the ground, as she stepped back away from it, pressing Reg away as well for his safety.

The small figure stood, shook his head and stared at them, replying, "Is that all you got, pussy?!"

A bit startled by it, Dororo quickly grabbed a nearby lamp and used it as a weapon, "Stand back, little guy! I'm not afraid to use it".

"Brotha! Don't hurt our new friends!"

Another voice caught their attention. It was Ruby and Lucy, along with them the same small figure as he quickly came over to his supposed brotha, stopping the tension from escalating.

"They are children's, Kahkar", He said to him, "Children's".

"Okay, I am confused here", Dororo said.

"Relax guys", Ruby told them, "They harmless".

"Yeah, believe us", Lucy said, "Their spears aren't really that lethal, anyway".

"Wait, Ruby and Lucy?" Reg asked, "What are you guys doing here?"

"I got lost, Lucy found me and all of a sudden, we met these guys", Ruby explained.

"Sorry about my brother, you two", The small figure said to them, "He usually attacks first, asks later. By the way, my name is Oudom".

"Oudom?" Reg responded back, seemingly calming down, along with Dororo as she lowered her weapon.

"Yes, Oudom", He introduced himself through telepathy, "My brother's name is Kahkar, and we are the Mrenh Kongveal!"

"We just simply called them, Kongveal for short", Lucy said.

"We prefer you guys calling us Mrenh, but that's fine I guess".

"So what are you guys? Little people?" Dororo asked.

"Well, guess you can call us that", Oudom explained, "We are elves that spread luck to children like you".

"Yeah, by luck that means poking me with your spears".

"Uhhh yea, let's uhhh…let's just let that slide a bit, okay?", Oudom continued, "Anyways, we Kongveal are suffering through a crisis. Our homes were destroyed by an unknown force and we have been trying to rebuild or in this case, find a complete replica to build a foundation from".

"In this case, we are using a replica set as a base", Kahkar said.

"Yep".

"A crisis, huh?" Dororo remarked.

"So you guys don't live here?" Reg asked them.

"What? Of course not", Oudom said, "We just picked this random place for a temporary resident until we rebuild our home. Right now, we are just slowly rebuilding ourselves".

"Yea, and we didn't expect children like you to find us".

"See guys", Ruby told them, "They are not harmful. They are just a bunch of elf people just chilling out here".

"I see", Dororo then asked "Eh pretty neat I guess, you don't mind we are minding our business, right?"

"I guess so", Oudom said, "We were going to show you guys our resident, but eh. I see no reason forcing you guys into our affair. See ya".

"Wait Dororo", Ruby asked her, "You really just want to leave?"

"Uhhh yeah, me and Reg have our own thing to do so…"

"But don't you guys want to check the residents out like us?" Ruby asked, "A bunch of mysterious small residents that we aren't aware of".

"Eh, as much as I want to, I feel it may lead us into some trouble", Dororo said, "Even if there's a likely chance these guys are just a creation of Mxy".

"Mxy-what?" Oudom asked, confused by what she mentioned.

"Honestly, I wouldn't mind checking them out", Reg said to Dororo, much to her surprise.

"Reg, are you serious?"

"What? I'm just curious, that's all. They seem pretty friendly".

"Hmm…."

000000000000000000000000000000000000

"Okay, usually I'm trying to stay out of these kinds of things", Dororo confesses, "You know, not get involved in some totally weird stuff like this, but then again considering what type of predicament I'm in".

0000000000000000000000000000000000

The Mrenh Kongveal led the four kids to their residence.

After a while, they finally reach it. An open space revealing the huge residents of the Mrengh Kongveal.

All of which have been working on constructing structures out of broken pieces of wood and other material, based off the Death Star 1978 Kenner set, which remain in pristine condition.

Some were working, some were playing music with drums and flute and others were dancing.

Ruby, Dororo and Reg were a bit at awe by this, while Lucy….still has a blank expression.

"Welcome to our resident", Oudom introduced, "As you can see, we are constructing our new home's, based off this set we find in some one room".

"That's kinda neat", Ruby remarked.

"Looks like you guys stole that set from that obsessed, Star Wars geek", Lucy pointed out.

"Actually, we borrowed it", Oudom said, "Also, what's an obsessed, Star Wars geek?"

"Just some guy who's too into a scifi movie".

"Oh….okay then", Oudom replied, still having no idea what that mean, "Anyways, once we finished rebuilding our town, we can finally celebrate".

"That's good to know", Ruby said.

"And then plan out revenge tactic".

"...uhhhh, wha?"

"Yeah, we are still not over with it", Khakar said, "We figure since we don't have much else to do, we might as well get payback".

"We don't know who, but we'll make a best guess", Oudom added.

"Oh….right", Ruby said, "Anyways, how long have you guys been doing this?"

"We .…..we've been doing this since we first arrived here", Oudom replied, "So far, we've only made like four houses. We just need like a couple of more and we're done, which may take us…..I don't know, a week".

"Well this is something", Dororo whispered to Reg, to which he nodded, "Never thought we be meeting a bunch of small people, but here we are".

"You say it. I was thinking what more weird things we may find in here", Reg said, "But it probably won't matter, since our challenge is near done".

Suddenly, the presents of the Kongveal and their mention of bringing luck to children, gives Dororo a bit of an idea.

"Hey Reg, this just gives me an idea", Dororo said to a confuse Reg, as she speak up to the Kongveal, "Hey, you guys say you can bring luck or whatever, right?"

"Why yes", Oudom replied, "We can do anything. Luck and fortune are limite-"

"Yeah, yeah, whatever listen", Dororo says to him, "Listen, us kids are in the middle of a challenge. A pretty tiresome challenge if you ask me. I was wondering if you could like….oh, I don't know, make the entire attic clean?"

"You want us to do that?"

"Yep", Dororo said, "And in return, we help you built your town".

"Hmmmm, well we do need some human hands, so….sure!"

---

Lisa working has taken a huge toll on herself, feeling tired and dreary from the constant cleaning she and the others have forced to be put into.

She even feels….a bit sick.

She stopped on her track, pressing her back in and sighing to herself, "Okay…finished cleaning these plates Man, I think my head is working weirdly lately"

Before she could finish, she suddenly noticed Salome swallowing Waddles almost whole.

Noticing it and being completely baffled, she ran up to it and pulled Waddles legs out from Salome mouth, "Hey! Spit it out! Spit him out!"

Salome succumbs to her demand, as he spits Waddles out, which causes Waddles to land on her.

"Lisa", Octavia came to her, taking notice of Lisa's awful condition.

"Heeeey Octavia? How are you doing with helping Gimpy out?"

"Gimpy….won't stop talking about his whole Star Wars theory he's going about", Octavia replied, "I'm beginning to think this whole helping out thing isn't doing it for me".

"Oh….that's", Lisa cough, "That's unfortunate to hear".

"Lisa, are you alright?"

"I'm fiiiiiine. Just a small cold I receive, suddenly", She replied, as she coughed more harshly than before, which made Octavia even more concerned for her well being.

"Oh my god, you have no idea how painful it is to go through with this", Zulius said to them, confronting them and complaining, "My nails are yellow! Yellow! Using a toothbrush to clean it isn't helpful at all! Also sorry to ask, but are you okay? You seem…awfully sick".

"Sick? Who's sick?" Lisa asked, coughing again, "I'm perfectly clear in the head".

"Lisa! Lisa!" Nikki ran up to him, along with Mabel, "All our problems are solved!"

"What are you holding?" Lisa asked her, referring to a box Nikki is holding, which has a crude drawing that reads 'soap bomb'.

"A secret method that will help us through this challenge", Nikki said, "I made it myself".

"Yep", Mabel added, "This is going to solve all our problems, Lisa".

"How? Exactly?" Octavia asked, "Have you guys tested it out yet?"

Before they could answer that, suddenly crashing through the boxes came Hellboy, as he tried to tackle the snake eating cow while being swung in the air, while wrapped around by the horns.

All the while Vicky still clenched onto the cow back.

Everyone stopped from what they were doing, as the cow raged, literally slamming into several items and boxes and stomping it hooves on the floor, causing it several cracks.

Even King Archer enters the scene, completely stunned by what's going on, "What the hell is going on here?!"

"I don't know", Lisa replied, "Whatever is going on, it creates a mess".

"Yeah, isn't that obvious?"

Suddenly, Vicky tosses off the back of a cow and into some boxes, "I'm okay!"

"We gotta find a way to stop it", Octavia said.

"Do not fear, guys!" Po stepped in, "I got this!"

Po tried to run up to the cow, only to be slammed back and into the boxes, "Ow…I think I broke a rib".

"Hold on! I think I know how to stop it", Nikki said, having got an idea. And idea involve the obvious.

000000000000000000000000000000000

"Okay, so I know that was pretty much quick thinking on my part to do", Nikki confesses, "Especially if you know me. But the thing is, desperate times require desperate measures. And I wasn't going to end the challenge with that. Even if…not gonna lie, it would be pretty funny".

000000000000000000000000000000

Without hesitation, Nikki proceeded to throw the soap box at the creature, causing it to explode.

An explosion that splatter tons and tons of snake guts and blood, along with soap.

Now the attic itself was even more in a messy state.

And as for Hellboy, he was laying on the floor in the center, covered in pink, "Ow".

"Hellboy! Are you alright?" Vicky asked, worryingly as he came up to him.

"I think I need a smoke", Hellboy utter.

"Welp, problem solved", Nikki said, "I think…I don't know, what do you guys think of this?"

"Well, this was a disaster. I didn't think you two would screw this up" King Archer said, which baffle Octavia.

"What?!" Octavia responded, with Lisa being a bit too queasy to respond.

"Hey, don't look at me. I wasn't the one that had something to do with this".

"Guys, I'm feeling a bit sick here", Lisa said, almost gagging.

"Screw off!" Octavia retorted back, "You can't just blame us for this trouble! You haven't done anything useful".

"Yeah, but I didn't cause all this, isn't that right third in command?" King Archer asked Lisa.

Without even a proper response, Lisa threw up and collapsed to the ground, stunning everyone.

"Huh, that just happened".

"Lisa!" Octavia came to her aid, "Lisa! Are you okay? Answer me?!"

"You guys think this challenge is a bit boring?" King Archer asked his teammates, "Because I've fallen to sleep like six times in a row under four hours. That got to be…something".

"Uhhh guys, I don't know if anyone noticed, but-", Mabel pointed something in the sky. Or in this case, a ceiling.

Miniature planes are flying above the ceiling in a row, flown by the Kongveal, releasing what appears to be mysterious dust.

"What the hell is going on?" King Archer asked, as he was confuse as everyone else.

"Honestly, I'm as confuse as you are", Zulius said to him.

"Hey you idiot", Idree said, having finished cleaning up the cans and ready to confront him, "I finished cleaning your stuff. I hope you don't try to-wah-what is that?"

The dust finally landed. And while everyone manage to shield themselves, Idree did not. Causing the dust to land on his eye, "AAAAHHHH! MY EYE!"

00000000000000000000000000000000000000000

"Okay….I have like….lots of question", King Archer confess, "Lots of it relates to those miniature airplanes that somehow made the entire room clean under a second".

00000000000000000000000000000000000000

Seconds later, Mxy and Don pop into existence within the attic and examine the room.

During all this, Dororo, Reg, Ruby and Lucy quickly rejoined with the group as Dororo took the time to breath in and out.

Mabel took notice of their absence and was a bit surprised, "Guys, where have you been? Something strange had just happened".

"Yeah, it's a long story", Dororo told her, "We'll try to explain this to you guys later".

"Wow, I'm impressed" Don remarked, "You guys managed to clean this entire room. Don't know you guys did it, but….neat".

"Yeah, it totally all because of me and Reg", Dororo claimed.

"What?" Reg responded.

"You know, I'm too confused and tired to even argue against that", King Archer said, "Or even question it for that matter".

"Honestly, I just want this to be over", Hellboy said, taking a smoke.

"Oh well", Mxy said, "What matters now is you guys have finally won today challenge! Be proud of yourself!"

Mabel and Nikki were the only ones that cheered for this day's victory, while everyone else ( Well, most of them ) groan.

"And for your reward, it's….uhhh", Mxy tried to come up of a reward, so he randomly spring out a serpent like statue.

A statue resembling a Khmer ancient dragon, that has no wings or limbs, but does have a horn.

"Tada! This thing!"

"That?" Octavia asked, while carrying a sick Lisa, "We went through all that just for that?!"

"Ummm yes!" Mxy then tosses it to Dororo, "Here! You earn it, so….there. As for the rest of you! Enjoy the rest of the day! Oh, and the attic is all yours, I guess".

After Mxy and Don disappear, it leaves the bottom hatch of the door open and the cast to be left alone.

"Welp, glad that's over", John Recorn said, "I'm…..going to go back into my room to….practice my healing".

"I'm going to practice my dance routine", Ceviche said, "And…likely clean myself afterwards".

"Well I'm going to take a looooong shower", Zulius responded, "Staying here was my personal hell, if I'm being real with ya".

"I'm going to take Lisa back to her room", Octavia said, "After what happen today, I needed some rest. Far away from douchebags like him".

"Good idea!" King Archer replied, "I need a rest too to give my mind off from your comment. After all, King need's it nap that is….fourth in a row or something, I don't know I lost count".

As everyone began to leave the attic, Mabel and some of the other kids were left behind for their own interest.

"You guys go right ahead!" Mabel said, then turning her attention to her Wonder Terror team, with the exception of Ruby and Lucy, "Can you believe it guys? We have the entire attic for our own!"

"I know!" Nikki said, "This is super great! It like our own personal base or kingdom".

"I freaking no!" Mabel said to Nikki, as the both of them shout, "VICTORY FOR WONDER TERROR!"

Ruby, first time hearing this, asked, "Wonder Terror?"

"It's our alliance name", Dororo replied, "Something Mabel came up to make it official".

"Ooooh you guys are forming your own alliance?"

"Pretty much".

"That's cool", "Ruby then mentioned, "By the way, I guess I should introduce you guys to our new friends".

"Wait, new friends?" Nikki turned her attention to her, same with Mabel.

"You guys made new friends? Wait! Is it him?" Mabel asked.

"Uhhh actually, it more than just…well, 'him'" Ruby mention, as Oudom poke out from her hair to greet them with a wave, "Hello!"

Mabel, Nikki, and Waddle stood there as stunned, as Mabel was the first to respond, "WHAT THE-!"

END! Because I'm too tired to think of a way to end this.

Anyways, it finally finished. This chapter did not need to take a whole a** time to make it, but it is finally done.

So recap. Mrenh Kongveal is introduced. They are essentially Cambodian elves or equivalent to them, that can only be seen by children's just…..because. Well, there is the whole being seen by those who are pure, but yea. There's that info.

Anyways, what we have here is some good starting points or at least, arc's that are in their beginning and are kicking off.

I know I haven't showcase a lot, but there's always improvement for later chapters.

Idree is having a hard time adapting and not making good socializing with anyone. Lisa tries to be a good leader by taking up the mantle, with the result being…moving on, Mabel forms the official Wonder Terror team! And…yea, that's pretty much it.

Oh, and there's Hancock new companion there.

Overall, not the best chapter I made here, but like I mention, room for improvement.

Anyways, give a review or follow. I'm heading out. Oh, and preview for the next chapter, it all about GAME NIGHT! Contestant will be participating in a game board night for tonight so expect some fun interaction this time around to come out of this.

So yea, I'm heading out. See ya.
