6. Chapter 6 Game Slob

Hey guys, 1602jaw here to bring you the next chapter for this story.

Before we begin, let's go over the review first.

TheSupeMan: Glad you find it short, but sweet at the same time.

Memeking the Third: Yep. Had a lot of fun writing Archer, since he's a character that exempt the definition of being a jerk.

NondescriptNorbert: I'm glad you find this new change of writing direction to be good, as I know I'm happy with the results.

Goodguygary: Ha! Perfect!

Anyways, that's the review. Let's move on.

---

It has been two days since the attic challenge began and the lair of the Wonder Terror has been officially set up.

Boxes are moved to the side to form some kind of barricade. There is a lot more decoration to make the lair look more lively and comfortable, such as Christmas lights were used, beanie bags were used as chairs, some of the antique items were used like vintage statues or action figures that served as display pieces.

Present there is Nikki, second in command of the Wonder Terror alliance, along with Dororo, Reg, Waddles and the newest member added to their addition, Ruby Gloom and Lucy.

And then there is Mabel, standing next to a white board, "Alright guys, welcome to the official lair of the Wonder Terror! Where here we hang out, strategize, and also hang out".

"For real, captain…or president…..honestly, I forgot what to call you", Nikki said.

"That's alright. You guys can call me anything you want".

"Sweet!" Nikki said, then proceeded to pull in a container with some mysterious liquid inside, "By the way, I'm keeping this. I don't know what it is or how long it's been in here, but I like the taste it has. It Tastes like chocolate".

"That doesn't seem safe to drink", Reg remarked.

Nikki began to chug it down her throat, only to gasp it out, "See! Perfectly safe!"

"Ummm right".

"We should also welcome our newest members", Mabel continued, "First off are the Kongveal's!"

She gesture, showing a bunch of small elves cheering in the background with their entire houses and buildings hung up in the air by support pillars and other wooden structure, one of them being their chief of the village, Oudom.

"Kinda surprise you guys are still sticking around here", Dororo remarked.

"We change our mind", Oudom said, "Now we officially love it here. Including its many wonders! Inside this…attic"

Oudom pointed, showing three Kongveal approaching a rat that somehow got onto one of their platforms.

"Aww look at this cutie thing", One of the kongveal said to it, "Wanna pat on the face?"

The rat proceeds to bite on its head, then rattling it as the Kongveal screams in pain.

"Uhhh….." Oudom replied, stunned by that sight, "Ignore that".

"Next up for our newest member is Ruby Gloom!" Mabel continued, "Along with Lucy Loud and her little skull friend".

Mabel then quickly come up to Ruby and Lucy, whispering, "Okay, you guys sure you want to be called by your regular name? Like, got any cool nickname or title?"

"Ummm no thanks, I'm cool", Ruby replied.

"I'm trying to think of one",Lucy replied, "So not at the moment".

"Okay then", Mabel said, as she returned back to the board, resuming back to what she was talking about, "Alright guys! Give your applause to them! To our newest members!"

Reg and Nikki clapped for them, as Nikki seemed pretty on board with them being in this group.

"Nice to have you two on board", Nikki told them, "Just to let you two know, I'm the creative specialist of the group. So if you need something, just call me?"

Nikki handed them a rock, which has a sticky note attack on it, which is a doodle of her face and her name.

"I don't have a phone so just throw this rock anywhere to get my attention".

"Right. Well, me and Lucy weren't thinking of joining the alliance in the first place", Ruby said, "But I guess it's pretty nice to joining what I'm presuming is some kind of kid's club".

"It's more than a kids club", Mabel replied, "It's…uhhhh, our own official team…organization, meant to give us each an advantage in the game here!"

"That's right", Nikki said.

"You know, I'm noticing a lack of anyone getting into this besides these two", Lucy remarked, referring to how Mabel and Nikki seem on board with this.

"Okay guys! With introduction out of the way we can finally begin", Mabel said, pulling out a marker and doodling something on the board, "Now as you know, elimination here is scarce, but that doesn't mean it can still happen So we need to be ready for anything".

After finishing doodling something on the board, she presents it.

It shows what appear to be columns with doodles of each of the members on them.

"Tada! I devised this!" Mabel continued, "We each take turns coming up with some neat ideas and put them to use".

"So essentially, we just brainstormed ideas then", Ruby said.

"Exactly. We also see if we approve or don't approve some of these ideas, which if I'm being real, I think any idea is possible! No matter how unethical and unrealistic it may be".

"Depending if it's practical".

"Uhh yea, depends if it's practical. That too we should be concerned about", "Mabel said, then taking notice of one of her doodles, "Oh gosh darn it, I made a smear on my doodle".

Mabel proceeds to use a cloth to wipe it, only to create a much bigger smear, as it still remains permanent, "Uh oh, I think I use the permanent marker for this".

000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000

"Leading a ragtag of team is going to be awesome", Mabel confessed, "Making sure our team remain in tact is tricky. Especially since we don't know when it elimination time or not. But do not fear! I'll try to devise some way to keep my friends in…..some how…too distracted of me thinking of new sweater design idea to make for our official group".

00000000000000000000000000000000

Idree came up to the attic, as he turn and took notice of the group, "Cr*p, what the hell are they doing here. This isn't good. Gotta try to ignore them".

Mabel and the others quickly notice Idree as he makes his way to the small fridge.

"Just ignore me", Idree said to himself, quietly as open the fridge, "Just ignore me, ignore me, ignore, ignore me".

"Oh, hey Idree", Ruby greets him, "What's up?"

"Ignore m-! Damn it!" Idree said, holding a beer bottle after he slammed the fridge door shut.

"Seems to me this guy is still in a spiteful mood", Lucy remarked, "Not surprising".

"Just ignore me!" Idree responded, "I am simply here to get something for…for me. Just me and that's it. I'll be leaving now".

"Hey Idree, you doing okay?" Ruby asked him.

"I'm fine. Leave me alone", Idree said,as leave the attic.

"Huh….guy is still a bit cranky", Ruby remarked.

"That's what I was saying", Lucy said, "Guy has a lot of issues".

"Yeah", Ruby said, "Still, am I the only one that feels a tiny bit bad for him?"

Lucy: "Kinda".

Dororo: "Probably".

Nikki: "I have no idea!"

Mabel: "Yes….wait, no…hold up, what are we talking about here?"

0000000000000000000000000000000000000

"So I really don't know much about him", Ruby confesses, "He does seem to not get along with everyone and doesn't seem to like no one. To me, I feel like he needs some sort of help or someone to be his friend".

00000000000000000000000000000000000

"I cannot socialize with kids", Idree said, "Don't remember if I said this before, but just to repeat. I do not try to socialize with kids, nor do I like them. At home, I can easily bother them, beat them, or get them arrested if they dare speak up against me. I'm not afraid to throw hands, by the way. And no, that doesn't count as me being unable to socialize. I just prefer to socialize with people around my age or someone I can tolerate. Speaking of…"

0000000000000000000000000000000000000000000

In the main living room, King Archer sat on his couch, eating chips and watching TV.

Idree came by, giving him the beer as he requested, "Here. Find you this beer for ya".

"It's about time", King Archer said, grabbing it and opening the cap off, "I almost thought you weren't going to do a favor for me, but…thanks, anyways".

"Hey, at least I prefer you being the leader than the girl's", Idree told him, "Still doesn't mean I tolerate your behavior".

"Whatever",King Archer said, as he took a sip and spit it out, "What the?! This beer is expire! Idree you idiot! You didn't check the expiration date for this?"

"What?! How can I tell! There was no label on it to indicate it".

"Of course there's no label! Which implies this beer has been in the attic for a long time, you moron!" King Archer said, "Actually now that I think about it, it shouldn't be possible for this beer to expire, since….you know, this house was made literally by the Imp recently sooooo…yea, I can't really fault you with that one".

Idree moan, "Whatever. I'm going back to my room".

"Eh! Eh! Eh! Eh! Hold it!" King Archer said, "I need you to go get me some chips from the cabinets".

"Oh come on!"

"Do it, okay", King Archer said, "Right now, I'm a bit tired to get up. I tried taking a bit of Vitamin D's but those don't seem to work. I'm not really sure if I brought along the right subscription. Or perhaps it was an entirely different pills or whatever. I don't know".

"Ugh, you are a lazy American".

"And you, the guy who's standing here without a bullet between his legs, now just go get me some chips".

"Never".

"Reminder, I'm the man of the house", King Archer said, waving his gun around.

"Grrr, fine", Idree told him, "But I'm only doing this because-"

"Yea, yea, yea, your not a fan of Lisa or that Owl Demon, now shut up and go get me some chips".

000000000000000000000000000000000

"I know, it seems pretty condirecting of me having to allow that douche forcing me to be his waitress", Idree confesses, "But here's the thing. I would rather follow someone that is a man that isn't a woman. In this case, it's Lisa and that Owl demon. They are not going to expect me to help or be supportive of their decision. Also, that doesn't mean I would join that Red Skull guy or anyone else for that matter. And third, it all part of my…..umm, I guess strategy. Yes, I thought up my own strategy. If I stay near the leader enough, he may likely consider me his…..favorite. What? Don't judge me. I know it's not perfect, but what else am I supposed to do here?"

0000000000000000000000000000000000

"Okay, so since leisure time is over", King Archer said, "I gotta think of a strategy that could keep in the game. Elimination can happen any time, so I gotta carefully play my game here. Emphasis on try because I haven't thought of one just yet".

00000000000000000000000000000000000000000

In the second living room ( The one on the right ), Lisa and Octavia are once again, doing strategy talking.

Lisa was still recovering from her illness, which didn't prevent her from continuing her day as normal.

"Gosh, my head is spinning a little", Lisa said, "I should probably take another break. No, no, you got this. I'm already fully recovered and ready to go".

"Are you sure about that?" Octavia asked her, "We could do this later".

"No, it's fine. I'm totally fine", Lisa assures her, casually, "I'm just…going through a soft fatigue, that's all. Just drowsiness".

"Alright then".

"Okay, so last time wasn't good", Lisa said, "It was…not so good".

"Uhh yeah, I can see that".

"We need to do something different", Lisa said, "Something that could…..rally up our support stasis".

"Wait, you mean we still need to gain the trust from our contestants?"

"Yes", Lisa replied, "So far, helping them out didn't turn out great. Same with just going along with the challenge and telling everyone what to do".

"Once again, I can't really say I blame them", Octavia said, "Not that I'm trying to imply your being bat at it, I'm just saying".

"Hmmm…." Lisa thought about it, thinking it over and walking from back to fourth to come up of a solution. She could relied on her notes and book, but so far she needs to use her mind for this occasion, "Wait! I got it".

"What is it?"

"What if we… show off our intelligent", Lisa told her, "That way, they can see how amazing we are and actually put a lot of trust on us".

"I don't know if that could work".

"Well….I mean, it might work".

Octavia is a bit doubtful of her idea, which Lisa seems to take notice of and seems worried about it, also.

"Look, I know it's been two days since we've been here, but a little testing it out won't hurt anyone, right?" Lisa asked her.

"I guess so. I can't really think of much right now, so….I'll go along with it".

"Great! Thanks Octavia. I really appreciate your support".

"Don't worry about it. I'm always on your side".

0000000000000000000000000000000000000

"After what happened last challenge, I feel sort of bad for her", Octavia confesses, "Granted, I'm still not one hundred percent on board with her idea's, but I gotta support her. She's a good friend and I know she's trying her best here".

00000000000000000000000000000000000000

Later that night, a challenge announcement has been called and everyone is present at the main living room ( With Blitzwing still being outside ).

"Glad everyone can make it!" Don said, "I hope everyone is prepared for tonight's challenge! Also, Lisa?"

"Don't worry about my illness", Lisa replied, "I'm feeling a lot better, lately".

"That sickness of her should've remained permanent", Idree utter, crossed arm, which caught Ceviche attention.

"What?" Ceviche asked.

"Nothing!"

"Good to know!" Mxy said "We have something special in mind!"

"If it's another chore related challenge then I cannot! Sorry!" Zulius said, "I would rather sit this out, even if it is elimination night…no seriously, I'm sitting this out".

And he meant it seriously, as he chained his leg down to the ground, much to the other contestant's surprise.

"You aren't going to make me move, Imp!" Zulius states.

"Yeah well, today's challenge setting is in the living room, soooo…."

"Darn it!"

"Uhhh yeah", Don said, "Well, we are aware that the last challenge was not fun. At all….which I deeply apologize".

"Yea, good job making our second challenge LAME! DON!" Mxy shouted at him, then resumed the conversation, "Anyways, we came up with a brilliant fun challenge for you guys!"

"It's simple and not life endangering", Don states, "We guarantee that".

"That's an odd way of saying it's triple dangerous", Hellboy sarcastically said.

"Oh lighten up, you lousy idiots!" Mxy said, pointing at him, "I'm trying to do something nice here!"

"Easy Mxy", Don told him, "But yeah, we promise this isn't going to involve tons of pain this time".

"Then spill it out, already", Po said, "The wait is killing me".

"Fine!" Mxy said, "Today's challenge is GAME NIGHT!"

Mxy proceeded to pull out an air horn and honked it, creating a huge loud noise which almost destroyed everyone's ear drum.

"OW! Damn it!" King Archer said, "Good job at almost breaking my ears!"

"Yeah, today's challenge is game night", Don said, "We have some fun activities for you guys to do".

"Indeed! We got board games! Tons of them!...Which we may likely skim them over through a set of montage, but we got all of them!"

"That is correct".

This seems to brighten the mood of some of the contestant, as it seems to be a harmless game of fun…..hopefully.

"That…actually doesn't sound too bad", Lisa remarked.

"Yeah, it's not something that would totally kill us", Tomie commented.

"Board game", Red Skull remarked, seemingly uncaring, "Eh, I suppose it could be worse".

"Sweet! Board games!" Po said, "Not as challenging as I thought, but it should be fun".

"So here's how the challenge work", Don said, "Each of you must be paired up with another contestant to form a tag team. There can only be two people in this team".

"With the exception of Archer, since he's the man of the house", Mxy states, "And he can choose any number of members".

Everyone groans and complains, much to Archer annoyance, "Oh suck it up, guys. I earn it".

"Keep saying you earn it or else I'll come after you!", Octavia told him.

"Phrasing owl girl. Phrasing".

"Excuse me?" Hancock raises her hand, as Stone Luffy is sitting next to her, "Would it be appropriate if I picked my new husband-I mean, friend to be my partner?"

"Hold on, seriously?" Po asked her.

"Yes, is there a problem with that?" Hancock asked him.

"I mean…no offense lady, but I'm pretty sure the two host meant like actual people to partner up".

Both Don and Mxy stare at each other, awkwardly and weirded out, but eventually Don responds, "Ummm sure, I guess we'll allow it".

"I'm totally cool with it", Mxy said, "Makes it more funnier this way".

"Ha! See! Men respecting my rights to choose whom I like to partner with, panda!" Hancock said.

"Jeez, I mean I was trying to imply I'm against it or anything".

"Just be quite", Hellboy told him.

"Fine".

00000000000000000000000000000000000000000

"As a warlord, I can select anyone as my partner", Hancock confessed, "Without judgment, mind you".

000000000000000000000000000000000000000

"Each contestant will be tagining their member any time they want", Don explained.

"That's right".

"Exactly", Don continued, "Each board game is different. So hope some of you are smart enough or skillful enough to do this. It's tricky, but fun".

"Unpredictable as well! Whoever makes it through these rounds successfully will get", Mxy said, as a pop tarts pop in thin air, "A stash of cinnamon pop tarts".

Po, Mabel, and Nikki began to drool by the sight of it, at awe by the rewards. The others were a bit indifferent about it.

Some were not very impressed by it.

"Guys, I think we are thinking the same mindset here", Po remarked.

"Wow…spectacular", Octavia said, sarcastically, "What's the bonus? A half eaten burger?"

"What happens if we lose?" Tomie asked the host.

"What? Do you want some kind of punishment?" Mxy asked, causing the pop tart to disappear, much to the two girls and Panda disappointment, "You get nothing! You lose!"

"Anyways, we'll be explaining each of the board game rules later on", Don said, "For now, everyone! Find a partner!"

0000000000000000000000000

"So good news", King Archer confessed, "I got a pretty good advantage here. Right now, I gotta be careful at picking out my assortment of team's here. I can't screw this up. I can't select two of my second and third commands because it seems to me, they've already full. So I got to try to search for a few people in this room to join me".

00000000000000000000000000000000

"This is perfect", Lisa confesses, "Now me and Octavia can try to go through our strategic idea. Play it smart and gain the trust from everyone…I hope it works".

00000000000000000000000000000

"Okay you three, listen up", King Archer has already selected three members to joined his tag group. Ceviche, Zulius, and John Redcorn, "You three will be my tag partner throughout this challenge. So I want every one of you to be good at this. Otherwise, I may take your guys stuff if we lose. Well, one of you guys, anyway's".

"Threatening your teammate with stealing their items doesn't seem wise", John said.

"I wasn't threatening. I'm…..encouraging you guys to do better", King Archer clarified, "There's a stalk difference".

"Pfff whatever", Zulius said, "Just to let you guys know, I'm prone to making some mistakes. And also, if there's a question relating to fashion I'll be the one to answer it. I'm an expert on those things".

"I have lots of skills", Ceviche states, "Some that may surprise you guys".

"Oh really?"

"I'm totally being serious here".

"Okay then, good to hear", King Archer said, "I do need very skillful people in my team. I don't care what kind of skill, as long as it is useful and noteworthy".

"Noteworthy is truly another term for how fabulous I am".

"Ooooh nice", Zulius remarked.

"Good. I'm sure we can get through this", King Archer said, " Also, I need one of you to go grab me some snacks and drinks from the fridge. Ceviche, I'm appointing you to do it".

"Uhhh why me?"

"Umm did I hear that correctly. I heard you have lots of skills. And I'm betting this is one of them so get going".

"Aww dang".

"Should've been more specific in your skill set, kiddo".

"Huh, you know now that he mentioned it", Don brings this up to Mxy, "Wouldn't it be nice if we bring some food for the occasion?"

Mxy snapped his finger, which sprung a display of dishes that consist of lobsters ,steaks, cheese and grapes, "Got you cover".

"I was thinking of regular snacks, but this is fine".

Octavia took notice of King Archer choices, remarking and informing this to Lisa, "Looks like our dumba**, man of the house picked his own guys rather than us. Not surprised by that".

"Eh, me neither", Lisa replied, "But that's not gonna stop us from making it through this, right friend?"

Octavia nodded, "Yeah".

Contestants continue to pick and choose who to be their partner's.

"Sooooo Nikki", Mabel asked her, "Want to be my partner".

Nikki gasps, "I thought you never ask! Heck ya!".

Reg stares at Dororo, then Dororo stares back at him, nonchalantly.

"You know where this is going?" Dororo asked, to which Reg nodded, making these two as the official team, again.

Idree was having a bit of trouble finding someone to be his partner, if he didn't care much about the challenge itself like anyone else.

Vicky seems to have no problem selecting someone, looking up at Hellboy.

"Do you want to be my partner?" Vicky asked Hellboy, to which he casually replied back to him.

"Sure, why not. I mean, you and I have been hanging out a lot".

"Yeah, silly question I know".

Po seems to have a bit of difficulty, but not on the same level as Idree.

"Man, this is going to be hard", Po said to himself, "I gotta pick someone to be my partner, but I wonder who? Think Po! Who would be the one?"

Furrball sat next to him, taking note of this and realizing the predictable outcome as he sighs to himself.

He slapped Po belly to get his attention, which he eventually did, "Oh, hey there little guy. Sorry if this come off a bit rushed, but…..Want to be my partner?"

Furrball shrugged.

"Great!" Po proceeded to high five him, only to slap him down off the couch, "Oops, sorry".

Idree sighs to himself, finding it hopeless to find someone he could ally himself with.

Until Ruby took notice, "Hey Idree, you seem a bit lost. Do you need any help finding a partner?"

"Ummm no? I'm not having difficulty getting someone to be my partner", Idree told her off, "That is none of your concern!"

"You should probably do what he say", Lucy told Ruby, "We are already in a team together so no point in including him".

"If you needed a partner, Idree", Red Skull told him, "Then I'm offering your one, right now".

"No thanks! I've….", Idree said, "Already found myself in a team. It's King Archer".

"Good because I need you for something" King Archer approached him, "I need you to go help Ceviche get some snacks for me. Ceviche here, already failed with his first task".

He was referring to Ceviche on the floor, being crushed by the pile of snacks placed on the tray, which Archer specifically and intentionally did so, "Help".

As Idree groaned and did as he said, Red Skull was a bit disappointed, but not enough to anger him entirely.

Tomie took notice and chuckled to herself, "Wow, there goes your chance of making him your slave".

"Silence. It is no big deal", Red Skull said, "There's always another time".

"Still, you do need a partner".

Red Skull grumbles, then hears a loud bang coming from the window. It was Blitzwing ( In his crazy mode ) giving a wave to him, "Hiiiiiiii. Want to be my partner?"

Red Skull sighs to himself, "Not intelligent or sane, but he will do".

Tomie snicker to herself, "What a hopeless fool. Lost his chance to make him his personal slave or tool. How pathetic".

However, her own pleasure soon ended, when Gimpy came to her, "Hey uhhh…it looks like you and I are the only ones without a partner…Want to be my partner?"

"Uhh….yeah, sure", Tomie said, nonchalantly.

000000000000000000000000

"Reminder, part of my strategy", Idree confessed.

0000000000000000000000000000

"I am not surprised he's still following that idiotic fool around", Red Skull said, "Nonetheless, he'll eventually catch on with my proposal".

0000000000000000000000000

Each of the contestant's have finally partnered up with their tag member.

Mabel is paired up with Nikki.

King Archer is paired up with Ceviche, Zulius, John Redcorn, and Idree.

Reg is…well ,obviously paired up with Dororo.

Po is paired up with Furrball.

Lisa is paired up with Octavia.

Hellboy is paired up with Vicky.

Ruby is paired up with Lucy.

Hancock is paired up with….Stone Luffy.

Red Skull is paired up with Blitzwing.

And Tomie is paired up with Gimpy.

"Okay, it seems to me everyone has been paired up!" Don said, "Now we can begin the challenge".

"Yep!" Mxy said, snapping his finger, as a board game appeared in thin air and landed on the table in the center.

Along with the game board is a giant spinner, three stacks of cards, and other pieces of items.

Some of the cast were at awe by the display.

"What's this board game about?" Reg asked, picking up one of the small specs, which Mxy proceed to slap it off from his robotic hand.

"It's called the Game of Life!" Don explained, "The rules of the game are this. You guys must go through several obstacles in order to earn a stable and successful lifestyle, by either selecting the College career or…..simply career".

Mxy added, "Yep,and you guys are going to be real careful when making certain decisions".

"Precisely", Don continued, "Each obstacle is quite risky. Some may improve and boost your lifestyle, while others may ruin it".

"Alright then, Game of Life", Po remarked, "Sounds kinda…ominous from the name alone, but I'm sure it's going to be fun".

"I don't know", Lucy said to him, "Game of Life would mean your life is going to suffer".

"Already suffering right now", Octavia utters.

"What was that?" Lisa asked her.

"Nothing".

"Seriously, some of you guys have never heard of or played the Game of Life?" Archer asked everyone, "Wow, you guys are missing out".

"Oh we totally missed out", Idree sarcastically said, disgruntled, "It's not like some of us are from different countries and hellhole!"

"Anyways!" Mxy continued, "The spinner here will guide your path. You guys will use it to direct yourself to your next destination. If you reach a specific spot, be hopeful of something good!"

"Exactly", Don explained, "The winner who manages to have at least a somewhat successful life, win's!"

"And what happens if we don't?" Tomie asked.

"Uhhh you lose! Duh! Didn't I already mention that before!" Mxy said, realizing his outburst and trying to regain his composure, "Also, just to clarify this isn't the exact same Game of Life you guys are familiar with. Had to make some changes and tweaking to make it more compatible with this show. After all, we don't want to go through all the complex rules and such. That'll make this episode way too unnecessarily long!"

"So wait, we can't rely on strategy for this?" Lisa asked.

"Nope! Just luck! Well….except for when it comes to the action spaces, but yea, this is mainly just luck the game".

"Why? What's wrong with a game that lacks strategy?" King Archer asks her, tauntingly, "Your scare?"

"Uhhh no", Lisa replied, trying to hide her nervousness, "As a matter of fact, I find this to be more interestingly challenging".

"Ha! I hope so….no wait, I take it back. I hope not".

000000000000000000000000000000000

"So this is a challenge where I can't use much of my quip to impressed myself and the others", Lisa confesses, "Crud, this is going to be hard. But at the same time, I gotta remain confident. After all, this is just the game in this challenge".

000000000000000000000000000000

"Okay, so this is the first time I'm playing something like this", Dororo confessed, "And once again, since I'm not from this world it became pretty tricky to understand this".

00000000000000000000000000000000000000

"Yeah….Now then, let's get started. Who wants to go first? Select college or career!"

Mxy disappears and reappears next to Dororo, "Kiddo! I noticed you're new to this game so you'll go first for experience sake!"

"Hmmm…..I don't know what college is", Dororo remarked, "I guess I'll go with a career".

"Yea, me too", Reg agrees.

"Good on ya!" Myx said, holding up the two cards to them, which shows simplistic designs of a camera and computer, "Select one from two of the cards here. You want to become a movie star or internet star!"

"Once again, I have no idea what those things are", Dororo told him.

"Just make an educational guess here!"

"Reg?"

"Umm….I guess a movie star is fine", Reg said, "Even if I don't know what that is, it sounds interesting".

"Good for you two! Guess this will be a good learning experience for you guys!" Mxy said to them.

"Since when did this challenge become a learning tool for these kids?" Idree asked, sarcastically.

"I didn't say or mentioned it would be. Thought I would point that out, since these two will certainly get something out of this!"

"Not sure that sounds like a good or bad thing", Dororo remarked.

"Honestly you two, it sounds kinda a mixed bag, Lisa told them.

"Huh?"

"I mean, ignoring the problematic nature of Hollywood and their business practices, if you guys play your cards right, you could live off a really successful lifestyle ... .not unless you tried to avoid scandals and drama".

"Exactly", King Archer said, drinking a cola bottle and eating chips, "Despite me….not….being supportive of her, showbiz is no joke".

"I see", Dororo replied, shrugging it off and telling Reg, "Welp, let's just see where this goes, right pal?"

"Umm right".

Mxy then moved toward Lisa and Octavia, "Let's move onto the next bunch. You guys want to go to College or-"

"I pick college", Lisa said.

"Great choice!" Mxy said, "You receive a thousand k! Spend it well".

"College? Lisa, Are you sure you made the right call?" Octavia asked her.

"Relax", Lisa assures her, "I know what I'm doing. Picking College is always the smart choice in this type of situation".

"Yeah, I know, but I get a bad feeling about this. Sometime tells me we in some sh*tty bad luck".

"Octavia please, I know your worry, but trust me on this one".

"Po and Furrball!" Mxy said, "What do you guys choose?"

"Career, I guess", Po said, "I have no idea what college is sooooo…..career choice".

"Neat!" Mxy said, pulling out the two cards to show them, "Pick a card! Pick carefully! A restaurant owner or a famous chef!"

"Awww man, this is even harder", Po said, being a bit nervous, "More harder than choosing a team".

"If it makes it easier for you", Mxy said to him, "Me and Don could make the choice for you".

"That, or you could simply quit", Red Skull told him, "Makes our day more easier".

"No, no, I got this", Po assures him, "I don't know what to choose here. On one hand, being an owner of the restaurant seems so cool. But on the other hand, being a famous chef. I don't know, there's like good benefits and some bad benefits with it. What do you think, little guy".

Furrball has no idea, simply shrugging and going along with everything.

"Ummm….okay ummm….I'll choose the restaurant owner", Po said, "Mainly because I get to like running my own food establishment over there. And that's what one of my Dad always wanted".

"Fitting", Mxy said, "Not really surprised by your choice, but okay then. Moving on! Archer!"

"To clarify, it is King Archer '', King Archer stated,which made Idree roll his eyes, "I like to refer to that title from here on out. Probably should've mention this earlier".

"Nobody gives a sh*t about your title", Octavia pointed out.

"Well I do".

"Yeah whatever", Mxy asked, "Would you rather select a career or college?"

"Duh, pretty obvious. I pick a career".

"Good! Select one of them", Mxy asked, holding up two cards, "Would you rather be a singer or a military general. Pick wisely".

"I don't know. Can we pick something else, besides these two?"

"Nope! It's our rule, pal. Pick one".

"Actually Mxy", Don reminded him, "We didn't really establish if they could pick one of the two you are offering them".

"Makes it more challenging, Don!"

"Damn it", King Archer then turned to his fellow teammate, "Okay, I need your guys' thoughts on this. Asap!"

"Well, I'm more leaning on the singing aspect", Ceviche said, "I can be a good singer".

"Me too!" Zulius said, agreeing with him, "It seems like a logical choice here".

"No! I rather select military general", Idree said, "Seems far more beneficial than being a musicians".

"Well I would like to pick as a singer as well", John Redcorn added, "I mean, I have my own band and I have my own album so it clicks".

"Really?" Ceviche asked.

"Yep. All of them are…..well, not appropriate for kids, though".

"Oh, I see".

"You guys are a bunch of idiots for picking something that wouldn't be successful in the long run", Idree said, "Archer, what do you think?"

"First off, it's King Archer!" King Archer states, "Second, I'm going with the singer route".

"What?!"

"Look, it seems like a good career path, okay?"

"Why would you pick that? Aren't you part of an organization or something that relates toward your speciality? How could you select something so dumb?"

"Listen Idree, there's a lot of things you can get out of a singing career. Number one, booze. Number two, ladies. Number three, a five star hotel to sleep at and a breakfast buffet complete with a pancake machine. And number four! All of the above, alright?!"

"Honestly, I'm more into the hotel thing than everything else", Zulius comment, "Can you imagine being able to live in there with a fabulous voice".

"Exactly".

"Then what about that whole thing about showbiz not being tongue and cheeks".

"Idree, I don't wanna go into the full extent of Ted Nugent resume and his whole political s opinions. If there's a chance of drama, then we can try countering it, somehow.".

"This is seriously a terrible decision you made here", Idree pointed out to them, "That goes toward all of you".

"Listen Idree, there's other benefits that come with being a singer", John Redcorn said, "Like for example, this could lead to impressing some of your ex-girlfriends, one of which has the potential of moving into your place because of your talent and not the fact your just a freelance massager that gives free massages out of the assumption I'm a nice guy".

"That's sounds…oddly specific for you to give that example", Lisa pointed out.

"Ummm….yes".

"I'm going to guess all of you guys agree on being singers", Mxy said, "Moving on".

"Is it me or does John Redcorn has some issues?" Ceviche whispered to Zulius.

"Kid, your not the only one", Zulius said, "Something about him definitely has some personal issues".

"I can hear you two", John said, "And just to let you guys know, I do not have any personal problems that involve some kind of relationship issue".

00000000000000000000000000000000000000

"Just go through with this", Idree told himself, "Just go through with this. He's an idiot, but one I desperately need. I am totally going to regret doing this later, but it is necessary".

000000000000000000000000000000000

"I think I made the right call here", King Archer confessed, "I hope so…really hope this doesn't backfire on us".

000000000000000000000000000000000000000

"Okay….may have gotten a bit close to being personal about that", John Redcorn confessed, "Need to ask the Imp to cut that part out".

000000000000000000000000000000

"Mabel and Nikki, what do you guys pick?" Mxy asked them, "College or career?"

"Totally career", Nikki said, crossing her arm and being confident, "I'm curious what the career is all about".

"Yep. Totally career", Mabel nodded.

"Okay then", Mxy said, "Want to be either a plumber or a mobster?"

"A mobster?" Don asked, put off by that option.

"Yea, it's one of these choices".

"That doesn't sound like a good career path".

"Hmmm….I don't know, both of them sound equally fun. what do you think, Mabel?" Nikki asked her, "I'm leaning a bit more on the mobster side".

"I'm totally thinking the same thing. Go with the mobster route".

"Got it! We go with mobsters".

"Excellent choice", Don said, "Let's uhhh ... .hope that isn't you two future career choices".

"Don't worry", Nikki states, "I already have another career goal I set my eye on. It's a secret".

"Right".

"You girls are…totally something", Hellboy remarked.

"What even is a mobster?" Vicky asked, as his question was quickly ignored.

00000000000000000000

"Gotta give Nikki some credit", Mabel confesses, "She's really making some good choices here. If I was in that scenario, I would've gone with….actually yeah, I probably would've gone with the same option as her".

00000000000000000000000000

"Anyways! Hancock and…..uhhh, your rock friend", Mxy then asked, "What do you guys think? Career…actually, just go with career. Seems to me you haven't been to college".

"Fine by me", Hancock said, "Only if the options suit my interest".

"Oooooh it does. Would you pick being a painter or a scientist".

"Easy. I would be a painter, of course. I love art. Especially if it allows me to create my perfect image of my husband".

"Wow, a choice relating to your potential husband. How surprising", Mxy said, being a bit weirded out by her, "Moving on! Ruby and Lucy! What do you want to pick?"

"I'll go with my career", Lucy said, "Seems to me those have lots of interesting career choices".

"Yea, I'll have to go with her option", Ruby agreed.

"Okay then, would you guys rather be?" Mxy asked, holding up two cards, "A illegal surgeon or….an illegal drug trafficking".

"Wow, those…do not sound like good career choices", Ruby commented.

"Yeah I agree", Don said, "What kind of board game is this?"

"Don, I made it clear that this is custom made by me", Mxy told him, "I had a bit of fun with it. And besides, it's just harmless fun. There's no bad implication coming from this".

"Ummm, I guess".

"Anyways, select one of these!"

"Hmmm, this is kinda hard", Ruby said to Lucy, "I think I may need your help on this again, Lucy".

"I'll pick an illegal surgeon. Maybe it's just me, but it's kinda like looking inside of a dead body".

"Uhh right", Mxy said, "Good choices! Next!"

000000000000000000000000000000000000000

"I seem to notice that a lot of them chose the career path, rather than the college one", Lisa confessed, "Not that I'm complaining, but it's pretty interesting to note".

0000000000000000000000000000000000

Everyone has selected the career path, as each chooses their career.

Tomie and Gimpy agree on toy making ( Well, mostly Gimpy ).

Red Skull and Blitzwing chose weapon dealers as their career choice.

Vicky and Hellboy picked fish salesmen.

"Alright then, everyone seems to have picked their career choice, with only one team picking college", Don said.

"Guess I made the right choice here", Lisa said, "Isn't that right, guys?"

"Eh, got no comment", Gimpy replied, "Lucky for you, I guess. I get to make some awesome action figures with my career choice".

"Kinda ironic you didn't pick the college path", Tomie told him.

"Hey, I'm not skipping a good opportunity when I see it".

"So since Lisa's team is the only one that picks college", Mxy said, "She gets to use the spinner to move her piece through her path! Reminder! There are three different types of spaces! One is the normal space where you are safe, the other is a stopping space where you have to choose which path to go to and the action space is…your choice…or something severe happens".

"Well, wish me luck guys", Lisa said, approaching the giant spinner which contains only ten spaces.

"The only luck I'm wishing for is her failure", Idree mutters to himself.

Ceviche is a bit bothered by Idree, as he confesses it and asks King Archer, "Uhhh you think it a good idea to have him be on our team?"

"Uhhh yeah", King Archer replied, "For comedic purposes".

Once she gave it a spin, it landed on the number three, as her peck moved three steps forward by the use of Mxy magic.

It landed on an Action Space.

Lisa picks a random card that is facing down and reads it, "Burn your professor class room down. Wait, WHAT?!"

"Wow! That just got real! Like, real quick!" Mxy said to her, as he looked at the card, "Now it looks like you have to pay up the school for property damage with..hmmm, five hundred k!"

"What? I don't have that amount of money", Lisa told him.

"Too bad!"

"Hey, hold on", Octavia steps in, being flabbergasted by this, "What did Lisa do to deserve this? It's unfair!"

"Listen kid, it's a game show. There's no explanation for anything of this. It's for fun", Mxy told them, "Plus, this is all about luck so you better hope it landed on something pleasant. Still, you gotta pay the school something, kiddo. Otherwise, they're going to kick you out, which means".

Mxy snapped his finger, with a mini jail box complete with bricks and a bar appeared next to them, "Jail time!"

"A bit extreme?" Don asked him.

"A bit extreme! Do I need to put up a sign that re-state my claim about this game being fun!"

0000000000000000000000000000000000000000000

"Great", Lisa confessed, "Already I made a little screw up. But it's fine. It's fine…I can fully recover from this".

0000000000000000000000000000000000000000

"I'm beginning to think choosing a college career may be a big mistake", Octavia said.

0000000000000000000000000000000000000000

"The only way to stick around and continue with your study, while paying property damage is by", Mxy said to her, "Ummm….paying a certain loan shark".

After he said that, he showed her a picture of Syke from Oliver and Company.

Lisa was nervous about this, to which Octavia tried to argue against it, "Lisa, no. Do not give in".

"I'm sorry, Octavia but we have to", Lisa told her, "It's our only way to stay in the game".

"You realized how messed up this situation is, right?"

"I know, but…it's either having a successful career or losing everything", Lisa told her, holding out the money card, "Alright, here's the money for the loan shark".

This made Octavia facepalm, but satisfied the Imp himself, "Good on ya, kid! You're still in the game! But be warned, you still gotta pay up the deadline".

00000000000000000000000000000000000000000

"I know I'm better than this", Lisa confesses, "I'm aware of that. But I have no choice. I can't fail this, especially since it's me and Octavia on the line here".

0000000000000000000000000000000000000

"A bit of a tough choice to put on a kid, don't you think?" Hellboy asked the Imp, finding this to be in poor taste.

"Naaaaah! Reminder for a thousand times, it is a fun game for all ages, devil boy!" Mxy said, taking a bite off on a lobster, "Speaking of! Your turn to spin the wheel".

"Alright then", Hellboy casually replied, getting up and approaching the wheel, "I'm not hoping for any good to come out of this".

"Ooooh, I hope it is something pleasant", Vicky said, "Because the idea of a loan shark sounds scary".

"Why? You actually think shark people might eat ya if you don't pay them a certain amount?" King Archer asked.

"Yes".

This made King Archer silent for a bit, until he shrugged it off and continued drinking, "Alright then".

Hellboy spinned the wheel and it landed on the number three.

With three steps, it landed on the action space. Hellboy took a card out and read it, "Your ship sank during a storm, which left you in the middle of the ocean. Oh cr*p".

"Wow! Another drastic turn!" Mxy remarked, "That's like two in the row here!"

"Yeah, too drastic", Don added, "Gotta ask, what if someone makes it to the stop space?"

"Then they're out. Finished!" Mxy replied, "Can't continue the game".

"Yeah but that doesn't sound-"

"Look Don, this is my game and my rules here. So how about you stop talking", Mxy said, then proceed to shove dozens of cheese in Don mouth, causing him to choke and fall to the ground, "AND JUST ENJOY THE SHOW!"

"Well geez, this sounds awful", Vicky remarked to Hellboy, "I was hoping real hard we won't end up like this".

"Yeah, am I not surprised by it", Hellboy responded.

"Already, you four manage to screw up for the first minute of this game", King Archer said, chuckling to himself and eating chips, which got their attention.

"Shut up", Octavia told him off, "I notice you haven't even started yet".

"Yeah, but so far this is clearly a bad omen for what's the come", King Archer said, "Believe me, I can already see sh*t about to go down".

Octavia scowls at him, with Lisa and Hellboy trying to calm her down.

"Octavia, let's cool it down here", Lisa told her, "We still have a game to continue here".

"So what are we going to do?" Vicky asked both Hellboy and the hosts, "Clearly there's a way out of this, right?"

"Well you two are in the same space as the girls", Don pointed out.

"So here's this!" Mxy said, "You have two paths. You can either take the path of submitting to their fate as no one will save you or continue surviving with limited expire food and water supply!"

"None of them aren't very pleasant".

"It's called Game of Life for a reason".

"I say we keep surviving through! We can't submit now", Vicky replied.

"Good idea. We go with the second option".

"Good for ya!"

0000000000000000000000000000000000000000

"I think we are doing pretty good in the game by the looks of it", Vicky confesses, "So far, it feels like I'm learning a bit from this game. Like the awful turmoil of going through a college career. Whatever that means".

00000000000000000000000000000000000000

"King Archer! You're next!"

"Alright, let's do this", King Archer said, stretching his hand, back, arm and legs, "Seems to me it's about time we do something about this".

"Your finally going to do something productive?" Idree asked him.

"Very doubtful about that", John Redcorn added.

"Ummm yea", King Archer said to them, "And by productive, I mean I need one of you to go over there and spin the wheel so I don't get blamed for this".

"Seriously?" Zulius asked him.

"How lazy can you be?!" Idree shouted at him.

"It's not me being lazy! It's all about strategy", King Archer states, "Honest to god strategy!"

"How is this all about strategy?" Idree asked him.

"Good question….shut up", King Archer said, taking another beer, "If you guys do what I told you, then there's a zero point fifty percent chance I may do you guys a favor. Or split the money if I win, I don't know".

"That sounds more like an offer", Ceviche told him.

"I know that", King Archer told him, "And since you were the last one talking, go over there and spinned the wheel".

"Fine", Ceviche said, getting up and approaching the spinner.

Idree can only mumble to himself from this, as Red Skull took notice and whispered to him, "Feeling frustrated again, perhaps?"

"Shut up", Idree told him, "Do not speak to me".

"Yes, I can see it. You try to tolerate it. I can't even count how many times I said that word, but yes. You tried to do just that, but unfortunately, it would appear it is not going too well by how you imagine it".

"It's only been a small couple of days. I can go through with this, without you, that Lisa girl, her owl abomination friend and pretty everyone else, mainly the girls in this room".

"Hmph, I can somewhat relate".

"Oh do you? Screw off", Idree said, "Getting really tired of telling you this".

Ceviche spinned the wheel which took him a hard time because of how huge and durable the wheel is, which landed on the number six.

This of course, dumbfounded Octavia. Lisa was baffled by this as well.

"What?" Lisa responded.

"Oh, you gotta be f*cking kidding me", Octavia reacted, "This got to be some kind of sick joke".

"I'm thinking the same thing, kid", Hellboy said.

Moving the cart to six spaces, it landed on the Action space.

Ceviche picked up a random card and read the following, "You are given a house of your choices".

"Congrats! You guys get to pick your own house!" Mxy said, displaying all types of cards, which contain varied houses.

Some were apartments, some were poor or fancy, some were mansions, and others were normal houses.

Miniature structures landed on the board from mid air, displaying tons of variety.

This made Zulius at awe by the display. And it not just him, same goes to the other team.

"There so many houses!" Mabel remarked at awe.

"Yeah, one of them look like my old home", Nikki pointed out, "No wait, I think that just a trash can".

"You can also own more than one house by the way", Mxy stated, "So get picking!"

"I pick the one with the pool!" Zulius shouted, being at awe by one of the houses as he shoved John Redcorn away and tried to grab it, only to fall to the floor due to his chain remaining attached to the floor, "Ow".

"This is total bullsh*t", Octavia mutters, which Hellboy nodded in agreement.

"Yep", Hellboy said, "Couldn't agree more".

0000000000000000000000000000000000

"Okay, I know we were only starting", Octavia confessed, "But I can't get my mind off how easily the Archer team gets an advantage, while me and Lisa had to suffer through our first obstacle. I don't know what's up, but I get the feeling the Imp is behind this. He may say he's not, but I can tell there's bullsh*t under his f*cking mouth".

0000000000000000000000000000000

"Aww man, one of those mansions looks like my home", Po remarked, "Only…much bigger".

"Not a very impressive display I may add", Hancock said.

"Guys, relax", King Archer said to his teammate, "Let's try to be practical about this".

"Practical?" Idree asked, put off by his statement.

"Yes", King Archer told him, "I'll pick the mansion and the high, fancy apartment from Miami".

"Got it!" Mxy then asked, "Anyone else? Idree! I see you are very tempted to select a personal favorite. Go on, pal. There's no harm in picking something you like".

Idree sighs and replies, picking up the card, "Fine. I'll go with the mansion. Obviously, but this time it's a different looking mansion. This looks a bit close to home, although it is hard to make out since the image is scuffed. The miniatures don't help, either".

"Yeah, these cards and miniature sets are old, like real old. Got them pretty cheaply".

"Wait, you actually bought these instead?" Don asked the Imp, "I thought you just created them out of thin air".

Lisa, even though she's trying to stay out from the affair of the other team, can't help but point out the flaw of their decision, "No offense, but is it a good idea to pick more than one house? Seems a bit excessive".

"Ummm it's my choice, girl!" Idree told him, "Leave me alone and don't try to question what I'm doing!"

"I wasn't really referring to you".

"Well, this is what happens when you get into the music career and you start making tons of bucks out of it", King Archer told her, "We can do pretty much whatever we want with it. Also, I changed my mind. I decided on one more house for me and it's the one with the pyramid shaped building".

"Great choices, guys!" Mxy said, "Really great choices! That'll be…nine thousand K!"

"What?! What for?!" King Archer asked.

"What? You think these houses are cheap? Each of these houses do cost differently, but they add up in a large amount".

"Oh this is just freaking great! Great job, Idree!" King Archer said, trying to place the blame on him, "You just made us poor! And even worse, we are likely going to have to pay all these mortgages….wait, do we have to pay the mortgages too?"

"Well you do own five houses then yea, pretty much".

"Damn it! Good job, Idree".

"Me?! Your the idiot who chose three houses, which adds up more!" Idree told him.

"Yea, but yours is a lot more expensive than mine".

"It wasn't even close!"

"But it still adds up".

"Well, I don't know why your placing the blame on me, when you should've just blamed it on that horse thing".

"Umm excuse you", Zulius told him back, "We need a pool, asap. I'm not going to live in a house without a pool and a hot tub".

King Archer agrees with him, "Zulius right. Since we are singers, we gotta go all out with this. Picking an extra mansion isn't helping".

"Oh I'm sorry", Idree replied back, sarcastically, "I'm just trying to go 'all out' with us being singers!"

Ruby was the only person in the room that seemed to feel a bit bad for Idree predicament, even relaying it to Lucy, "Yeah, Idree doesn't look like he's putting up a good relationship with these guys".

"I mean, isn't that obvious", Lucy replied, "I don't see him getting along with a centaur guy".

"I meant the literal man of the house", Ruby told her, "You think he just needs better friends or someone better to interact with? Someone that isn't a jerk".

"There's not really much options here in this house. Guy just has terrible social cues".

"Well, I figure he needs someone to help him out".

"Uh huh", Lucy said, as there was a small moment of blank silence, until she realized something that Ruby is implying, "Wait, you're thinking of directly helping Idree out, right?"

"Of course. I can't stand by and just see someone be considered the outcast of this group".

"That seems pretty noble of you to do, but at the same time I'm a little tempted to say, it's probably for the best to not talk to him. Like….ever".

"Everyone has to try, Lucy".

000000000000000000000000000000000000000

"Ruby is of good nature", Lucy confessed, "A bit too good, if I'm being honest here. I mean don't get me wrong, I don't mind her helping someone out here, but helping a guy who seems pretty awful toward everyone, including the girls doesn't evoke me as someone that needs help. If anything, he probably needs a few exorcists".

000000000000000000000000000000000000000000

As Idree sat back down once the game continued, Ruby began with her helpful intention, "Heeey Idree…how are ya?"

Idree scowl and crossed arm, looking away from her.

"Look, I notice you seem to not be getting along with everyone pretty well", Ruby said, "Especially Archer and well…most of us girls".

"It's none of your business. Leave me alone and let me do my own thing", Idree told her back.

"I just wanna to know, since you do seem to have a bit of a hard time talking with everyone".

"I don't have a hard time, it's everyone giving me a hard time", Idree told her, "So why are you speaking to me, girl? Or do you have terrible, selfish intentions as well?"

000000000000000000000000000000000
"Okay, I probably should've gone with a different root in talking to him", Ruby confessed.

0000000000000000000000000000000000000

"Idree, I just wanna say that….ummm", Ruby said, "If you ever need help, I'm always there for ya".

Idree scoffed, glancing away from her.

"That wasn't really the best way to show you being supportive, you know", Lucy pointed out to her.

Ruby sigh in embarrassment, "I know".

"Eh, it wasn't too bad. Let's just wait and see if he takes your word for it".

Red Skull raises his brow at the sight he is saying, taking not a liking of this at all.

"I do not like this", Red Skull thought to himself, "What is this girl doing? Interfering with my own intention. Nonetheless, I should keep an eye on her closely, but also try to get a bit closer to Idree".

"Gosh, I hope I get something good out of this", Gimpy said, as he spun the wheel, which landed himself on number two, which landed themselves on action space.

Gimpy picked up a card and read it, "You receive a baby".

"Congratulations to you two!" Don said, holding up a small peck and giving it to them, "You guys get to have a baby along the ride".

"Really?" Tomie asked, surprised by this.

"Wow, looks like someone is going to be the wife in this situation", Mabel said, nudging her arm near her, which bothers her.

"Congrats", Nikki said to her, then asked Gimpy, "So what are you going to name him?"

"I'm gonna name him….ummmm…Anakin the third", Gimpy said to Tomie, who doesn't seem too interested with his Star Wars face, "There's two characters with the name Anakin Skywalker. There's the actual Anakin and then there's Anakin Solo".

"Wow, riveting", Tomie remarked, disinterested.

"This Anakin is the third", Gimpy said, "I could go with a different Star Wars character name. Maybe like Echo. What do you think?"

"I don't know. It's your baby".

"Got it", Gimpy said, "I'm going to name it Anakin Echo".

000000000000000000000000000000000000000000

"Gimpy doesn't interest me much more than other guys like Idree", Tomie confesses, "I guess I just found him….dumb…..wait, that's not the correct term. Oh yeah, ugly, nerdy, and a freak. Normally, I wouldn't mind it that much and go along with it, but Gimpy the freak here is not that fun to begin with".
000000000000000000000000000000000000000

Hancock was next and the spinner landed on the number six, placing her on the action space.

Hancock picked up a random card and read it, "You have received a house. Select any houses that you desire".

"It's your lucky day, Hancock", Don told her, "Pick any of these houses you like. It can be more than one, but like Mxy mentioned you'll pay a lot if you select more of them".

"One is enough for me", Hancock said, "I suppose if I require a true home for an empress like myself, I'll select a mansion".

"Make sense", Mxy said to her, "Gotta have enough room to fit every lady inside from your island if you know what I mean".

"Exactly", Hancock said, "Although if me and Luffy ever have kids, which I hope! Then this is a suitable home for them to stay at. Play, learn, and take care with my husband by my side".

"Yeah, I don't think this mansion you chose specifically seems suitable for any kids to stay in", Don said, "If anything, it sounds pretty empty and dull".

"Don, let her enjoy her fantasy", Mxy told him.

"You know, Hancock",Mabel added, "If you want my advice, maybe give your kids some kind of tree house or something to hang out".

"Yeah, that'll totally be a neat addition to add for you family", Nikki said.

"Really? Are you sure?" Hancock asked them.

"Yep. There's no problem in getting an extra home".

"I see", Hancock said, "Very well then. I demand for another house, this time on a smaller scale".

"Girls, are you trying to bankrupt her?" Tomie asked them.

"Pff no",Mabel replied, "Just giving her some good advice, that's all".

"Our turn!" Blitzwing shouted in his random mode, as he reached his giant hand, which broke through the wall and knocked the TV down as he tried to use the spinner.

Much to everyone's startling surprise.

His finger reached the spinner, he spinned and landed them onto number seven.

The peck was moved, but unfortunately it landed onto the stop space.

This made Blitzwing switch to hot headed mode, "What?! Are you kidding me?! We landed at the stop sign?!"

He then switches his hot headed to random mode, "But wait! Maybe there's a good chance we get something good out of this right?"

"Well, it looks like your guys are in the stop space", Don said, "Meaning you guys are out".

"Darn it!" Blitzwing shouted in his hot headed mode, slamming his fist on the ground, which created a dent, "Oh well! At least it was a fun game!"

"I'm still think it wasn't a good idea to invite him", Hellboy remarked.

"Awww, but he seems like a fun giant", Vicky pointed out.

"Don't feel too bad", Mxy said, appearing next to Red Skull's shoulder, "At least you guys can stick around and watch the show. Heck, you can even inject your own commentary or enjoy the snacks here".

"Umm the snacks belong to the Archer team here", King Archer stated, "No one gets some".

"Probably the only good thing you brought to the table here", Idree told him.

"I'm fine with losing here", Red Skull said to the Imp, as Mxy disappeared out of his shoulder, "At least now it can give me time for myself".

"You mean more time for you and Idree, right?" Tomie asked, tauntingly and sarcastically, which made Red Skull scowl at her.

"Dororo and Reg! It's your turn to spin the spinner!" Mxy said to them, "Get going!"

"Hmmm I'm a bit hesitant to do so. Oh well, wish me luck Reg", Dororo said, "I have no idea what I'm doing here, but I hope I don't screw this up".

"Honestly by the looks of it, I'm really having low-self esteem here", Reg said to her.

"You should be", Idree said, "I'm already betting this street girl will end up in a worse scenario compared to Hellboy group".

"You really like confessing a lot of your problems to everyone here", Hellboy remarked, "Not painting yourself in a good light".

"I'm just stating the obvious".

"Man, no offense guys, but these chips are really good", King Archer brought this random remark up to the stern looking contestant glaring at him, "Too bad some of you guys aren't having it".

"I'm waiting for the heart attack to kick in," Red Skull told him.

Dororo came up to the spinner, feeling a bit nervous. She used the spinner, which landed her team onto the number ten.

Moving the peck to the next space, it landed her and Reg onto the action space.

Dororo glanced away, feeling a bit nervous as she picked up the card and read it, "You guys won the lottery".

"Congratulations!" Mxy said, "Yo guys just earn one hundred K bonus points!"

Dororo asked, confusingly, "Wait, what does that mean?"

"It means you get more money!"

"Wait, really?!" This made Dororo squeal in excitement, as she hug Reg, "Reg! We won more money! We won!"

"Hold up, really?!"

"Yeah!" Dororo snicker, "I didn't think we would actually manage to get a good start, but here we are".

"Save you two excitement for later", Mxy told them, "We got more obstacles up ahead, but glad you two got a boost of morale out of this".

"You bet we do", Dororo told him, "Now we are ready for anything".

"Gotcha! Loving the confidence!"

0000000000000000000000000000000000000000

"So that's how the game works", Dororo confesses, "We just gonna make sure we don't land on the stopping platform, make sure our card is worth a fortune, and we make it this far without losing anything. Heh, going to be honest I wasn't really on board with this, since this is new to me, but hey so far we are doing pretty good for ourselves here".

0000000000000000000000000000000000000

"You seem pretty excited and motivated right now", Reg remarked to her.

"Yep", Dororo replied, "If we keep going along like this, I'm sure we'll win".

"I…..hope so".

"Come on, Reg. Be a bit confident about this".

"I know, but what if we made a mistake".

"Reg, a chance like that may happen, but we gotta have a bit of hope. Are you with me?"

Reg was a bit hesitant, but eventually he confidently nodded.

"Good. Now let's get through this".

"Po! You are next in line to spin the wheel!" Mxy said to the panda, which excited him.

"Alright! Let's do this!" Po said, getting up and approaching the wheel.

"Now remember Po", Don told him, "You gotta be real careful with this. Make sure you-"

"Yeah, yeah, I know. Don't land on the stop sign space or have a pretty terrible path in this life", Po assures them, "I got this".

As Po spun the wheel, Octavia began to speak with Lisa about a serious matter, as shown throughout the first early stage of this game.

"Lisa, I know this is a bit too early to point out", Octavia said, "But you notice that everyone here has been getting a lot of positive outcomes from this game? Doesn't that bother you?"

"Umm no, not at all", Lisa told her, "It's just the first half of the game. So far, only one of the team is out".

"Yeah, but-"

The wheel eventually landed on six, which landed him and Furrball onto the action space.

Po picked a random card and read it, "Your restaurant got burned down and now you are homeless. Oh come on!"

"Ooooooh sorry bud, looks like you lost your career", Mxy said to him, looking at the card, "But there's always two path you can go to. You can either be homeless and move from places to places, or….you stopped. That's it".

"Wait, that's it?!"

"Yep. You completely stop. Game over for you!"

"Awww, both of these options sound pretty bad".

"Sorry. That's Game of Life for ya", Mxy said, snapping his finger, which has Po and Furrball wearing old, drags of clothing, making them look like they are homeless".

"Question, does the Stopping space implied suicide?" Tomie asked, curiously which bother the contestant next to her.

"Wha-what? No, it just means you stopped playing the game", Mxy told her, a bit disturbed out by her question.

"Just asking", Tomie said, gleefully, which seemed to make some of the cast be a bit uncomfortable and unnerved by her question.

"You disturbed me", Red Skull remarked, "Coming from me of all people".

"Tomie, we really need to talk about your behavior around the kids", Gimpy said to him, "Especially toward Anakin Echo".

Po sighs in disappointment, as he approaches and delivers the news to Furrball, "Looks like we gotta go from owning a cool, awesome restaurant business to being homeless. Man…..but hey, maybe being homeless won't be that bad, right?"

Furrball can only simply shook his head, Po not realizing the horror of being homeless as someone like the cat knows.

"See", Lisa pointed out to Octavia, "We are not the only one who's into deep bad luck. I'm sure we'll make it through….if we somehow repaid the loan shark".

"I'm hoping you're right on that", Octavia replied, "Honestly, you be lucky your not in my world. Loan sharks over there are far worse".

"Really-wait, are they literal shark people?"

"Uhh yea, pretty much".

"Mabel and Nikki!" Mxy shouted, "Your turn now to deliver your fate in this game of life! Hopefully not too drastic. Being a mafia isn't a pleasant job".

"Oh yeah! I'm going first!" Nikki said, running up to the wheel and spinning it.

It landed them on nine, which is…..a normal space, as their pecs move.

"Aw darn it", Nikki said, "We got the boring, normal space".

"I called that foul!" Mabel said, with Waddles oinking against it.

"Sorry kids, there's no rigging behind this game", Mxy told them, "You guys are safe, at least".

"Hmph", Nikki said, sitting back down, crossed arm, "Alright then, but I hope we land something that could give us a good advantage".

"Yep", Mabel nodded, "I'm hoping for the best".

"Well remain hopeful enough", Don said to them, "Because it is about to get more and more harder for any of you to make it through. Not my words, Mxy words".

"Yep. Like I said, this is literally custom made by me", Mxy told them, "Meaning outcomes are going to be exaggerated and awful".

"I can tell", John Redcorn remarked, "Some of the designs are literally your face plaster onto it. The houses, the threes, everything".

"Pretty egotistical", Hellboy added.

"Anyways", Mxy said, "Let's continue. By the way, there's no orderly fashion on who goes first. Any of you can keep going and let that individual slide".

"Alright then, I'll give it a shot", Lisa said, deciding to spinned the wheel for their next destination in determination of winning, "We may have started off real bad, but I'm not giving up just yet".

"Oh, good luck on trying to go through college without any issue", King Archer sarcastically said, "I'm sure you guys will excel at it".

"Shut up", Octavia told him off, "We are going to keep trying".

"Ha, like to see you guys try", King Archer said, "Oh wait, I'll take it be only a second until you guys lose",

Octavia scowls even more, getting a bit frustrated with him and wanting to punch him.

"Kid, just don't mind him", Hellboy told her, "He's not any of you guys concerned. Not my concern".

"Thanks. I'll take your word for it".

"Wow, a guy from hell backing another person from hell", Red Skull remarked, "Why am I not surprise".

"Will you just shut up", Hellboy told him off.

"Oh, and I thought your advice is all about ignoring those who annoyed you. Hypocrite from a demon. Why am I not surprised?".

Hellboy mumbled to himself, as Vicky tried to encourage him, "Listen, we can get through this".

"I know".

"It may be a game, but one I'm sure it will be good to learn from".

"Kid, it's a game where you have a chance of ruining your daily life by one misstepped".

"True, but that doesn't mean we couldn't apply it to ourselves to improve from it".

"Huh…..for someone from the Viking era, you have an interesting mindset".

Vicky chuckled, "Only for the fact I've been staying here for only a few days".

This made Hellboy smile, cheering him up a bit and making him like the kid even more for someone with a gullible and positive outlook.

00000000000000000000000000000000

"Kid got some good life advice", Hellboy remarked, "If I ever have kids like him, I'll treat him like the best son I ever have. Teach him how to handle a gun, throw some good punches, give good comebacks, and….ummm, shoot I can't remember what I was going to say next. Maybe I should write them down for my future kids.

000000000000000000000000000000000

Lisa proceeds to spinned the wheel, all the while hoping for it to land her team further away and hope it neutral.

"Come on, come on", Lisa begged to herself, "Please let it be something positive for once".

"Land on the stop sign! Land on the stop sign!" King Archer shouted, annoying half the cast, "Bring down the lower income rate, people!"

"Dude you're not making your team look better by acting that way", Po said to him.

"The panda is right", Hancock added, "You disgust me for your behavior, man".

"Oh, so a bit of competitiveness isn't allowed?" King Archer asked, "She's going to learn a bit of a harsh lesson in life through this. We might as well be part of it".

"Is he drunk?" Red Skull asked Idree.

"No", Idree replied, "He's been drinking cola consistently. He's acting more reckless than he usually is".

"Guys, I think this cola may contain something in them?" King Archer said, looking at the bottle, then proceeding to shrugged and continue drinking.

Eventually it landed them on the number ten, which relieved and excited Lisa, "Yes! Looks like we are making it further into the game here, Octavia".

The peck is moved ten further in, as Lisa picked up a random card and read it, "Okay then, let's see…..you are quickly dropped from two of your semesters for skipping lectures. Well isn't that-wait, WHAT?!"

"What?"! Octavia exclaimed.

"Yeah, that doesn't sound good", Lucy remarked, "This is not your day, guys".

"Ha! I knew something would happen", King Archer said, drinking more cola bottles, "I just freaking knew it!"

"Damn! That escalated quickly!" Mxy said to her, who was devastated by this, "Like, twice in a row from you guys. Oh well, at least you still have one semester left".

"That…that is not enough for someone to gain credits to graduate", Lisa stated.

"Too bad! Moving on!"

"Wait, aren't there like two pathways for this?"

"Nope! You just gotta hope you guys manage to pass that semester".

"Mmmmm…" Lisa groaned, trying to collect herself here, "Okay, okay, it's no big deal. I'm sure losing….two semester won't be that bad, right?"

"Uhhh…yea",Octavia replied.

"I mean, we're still in the game at the very least. I'm sure there's always-"

( Montage scene of Lisa…..failing at the game ).

Lisa tried to spinned the wheel for a good result, hoping more and more that she and Octavia would get an advantage out of it.

Instead, the following results include them receiving the action space with a terrible outcome that King Archer began calling out and laughing at.

Lisa spun the wheel and the action card revealed she's been receiving bad grades.

"Dang! You suck at math!" King Archer shouted, drinking more cola.

Lisa's spin the wheel and action card revealed she's at risk of not graduating.

"That's tragic…like, really tragic….eh, sucks to be you", King Archer said, drinking more gallons of cola, until it was all empty which he then threw it at Ceviche, knocking him out.

His obnoxious behavior is being felt by some of the cast in the room, most particularly Red Skull, Hellboy, Hancock and Octavia.

Lisa spin the wheel and action card revealed she's been having a terrible social relationship, which prevented her from participating in class semester.

"Booooo! You suck at it", King Archer shouted.

She did it again and again and again and again.

But all the results are the same terrible outcome. She gets bullied, she gets a minimum wage job, she hasn't repaid her loan shark which may result in a broken leg, and she is incredibly in huge debt.

All of which are inflicted on her pecs, which looks badly damaged.

At this rate, Lisa is getting more and more frustrated and drabby. Despite this over-longing burden after burden, she still tried to remain optimistic, "Okay, so far so not good, but-"

She spinned the wheel again, as the other contestants anticipate what's going to happen next.

"Anyone want to bet it's going to be another fluke", King Archer asked everyone, casually while eating popcorn and enjoying the show, "I think it's going to happen again. At this rate, I should be tired of this, but I ain't".

"That's because you're enjoying this kid suffering way too much", John Redcorn said to him.

"Yeah, ease up a bit", Hellboy told him, "Kids have been through enough already".

"Hey, there's something fun and satisfying seeing true reality hitting when it comes to entering college", King Archer said, "Frankly, it's a good dose of karma when it comes to acting like a smart a**".

000000000000000000000000000000

"Was I a bit of a jerk back there?" King Archer confessed, "Yes, yes I was. And honestly I should feel a bit of a shame for myself here, but guess what. I'm totally living the best lifestyle here".

00000000000000000000000000000

Right on cue, she landed on an action space and her card revealed she's caught a terminal sickness that could prevent her from passing the semester, causing her to exclaim, "Dang it!"

"Like this moment for an example", King Archer pointed out.

"I'm beginning to feel awfully bad for her", Gimpy remarked, "I mean, my college experience wasn't that bad. Sure, I've been through a lot like losing several of my figurines, almost getting evicted for playing the Star Wars music too loud in my dorm, which I should've been allowed to! You guys think I'm spewing too much of Star Wars?"

"No, not at all", Tomie sarcastically replied, "It's not like you kept talking about it over and over again".

"Gotta ask Gimpy", Ruby asked him, "Do you have any other interest besides Star Wars or Transformers?"

"Nope".

"Really?" Hellboy asked.

"None at all", Gimpy replied, "Although if you want to know something about me, I do not tolerate those who are into Star Treks. You can keep your filthy Star Trek influence away from me!"

"Yea, not surprise by that".

"I see", Ruby remarked.

"You know, I'm surprise none of us are stepping in to…", Nikki mentioned, "You know, put an end to Lisa whole misery thing she's been cooking up from here".

"Yeah, I feel more bad for her", Mabel said, "Maybe she needs something to cheer her up. Like….uhhhh, sweats and….stickers!"

"I'm not really sure those are going to help, child", Red Skull told her.

"It's worth a shot".

"I don't mind", Tomie said, "It is a bit funny seeing her try to get something good out of this, only to keep failing".

"There's nothing really funny about that", Ruby said, "It's a lot more sad".

"Eh, I have a weird sense of humor".

"Finally! Someone seeing the comedy behind this", King Archer said, seemingly liking Tomie's attitude during all this, "Guess you and I got something in common".

Tomie chuckled, "I guess so".

"Well I find this quite unfortunate", Idree said, "Not that I feel any pity for her, since…she's a girl, of course".

"You really need to cut down with the whole 'I don't like women' thing, dude", Po suggested to him, "It's kinda bothering everyone".

"I'm stating my opinion here", Idree stated, "It's a clear fact that women like her are incapable of doing anything that isn't chores or caring for the needs of a child".

"Yeah, bringing him here was probably not the best idea", Don whisper to Mxy, while Mxy is eating some grapes.

"I'm serious. Women like her shouldn't even be competing in this show. Look at Lisa, she's failing like the American education system".

"Holy sh*t, will you guys shut up!" Octavia shouted at them. Unlike Lisa, she's having the same horrible time going through this, but in the worst shape, since she's trying desperately to cling onto hope she's going to make it through.

But at this rate, it seems to be a lost cost.

The spinner eventually landed on the action space, to which she selected a random card and read it out loud, "Due to your incapability of caughting up your academics, you are unable to graduate. Would you rather retake the course or….stop…dang it!"

"Oooooh crud, looks like the end for you", Mxy said to her, "I feel so bad…..not!"

"Mxy!" Don called her out.

"Sorry, sorry….just thought it would be a good time to give her a sense of brutal, competitive quips".

"Oh come on! This has to be some kind of foul play here", Octavia said, standing up and calling out, "This is intentional!"

"Sorry, there was no awful intention behind this", Mxy confessed.

"F*ck! As if".

"Octavia, let's calm down for a bit", Lisa told her.

"Calm down?! We've been on a losing streak".

"I know that, but….uhhh, perhaps we can still win this later on. Sure, we literally been push back from the starting line, but-"

"Oh my god, can you give up already", King Archer told her, "Your not going to get anything good out of this. At this rate, it is getting both humorous and sad at the same time….well, mostly humorous".

"Screw off", Octavia responded, "How about you get your lazy a** up and do something instead of making fun at a little girl! No offense, Lisa".

"None taken", Lisa replied.

Team Lisa peck started to move back to the finish line, while looking it had some bandages and stitches on itself, likely the results of the events that had unfolded.

"I was about to!" King Archer said, "Idree, go over there and spinned the wheel".

"Ummm, I'm pretty certain she was referring to you getting up-"

"Uhh excuse me, do I have to remind you that I'm-"

"Okay! Okay! I'll go!" Idree said, as he approached the wheel and turned it.

"You sure you still want to help Idree out?" Lucy asked Ruby, "After his whole women tirade, anyone would probably rethink their decision".

"Okay sure, his opinion is a bit questionable and problematic", Ruby replied, "But I'm sure there's a chance he may change his mind. Just with the right person and right direction".

"Alright then".

Once it spun, it landed on the fifth place, moving their speck which landed on the action card.

Idree picked the card up and read it out loud, "You are given an offer to star in a movie. Accept or not accept".

"Two paths are available now!" Mxy said to them, "So would you rather pick the obvious choice or…..you know what, I'm already guessing what you guys will choose here".

"You bet we do", King Archer said, "We are going with the movie offer".

Zulius: "Totally".

Ceviche: "Agree".

John Redcorn: "I'm not losing this chance of getting popular, so I gotta agree with the others".

"Whatever", Idree said, "I'll go along with whatever you guys say. As intolerable you guys are, at least we are winning unlike the girl team".

Idree proceed to spin the wheel again, placing them onto eighth place and putting them in the normal space.

"Congrats! You guys landed on….normal,safe space", Mxy said, patting an annoyed Idree on the head, "Least you guys are making it further into the game".

"This game is bullsh*t", Octavia utter, folding her arm.

"I'm not sensing any good friendly competitive mood here", Mxy remarked, swirling next to her, which makes her scowl at him.

"Can you really blame them?" Lucy said, "Their current situation isn't good".

"Yeah, it's pretty awful", Po added.

"You guys really don't have to remind us that", Lisa told them, with a deadpan expression.

"Hey Lisa, you wanna make some bet Archer team is going to somehow screw this up?" Octavia asked her.

"I would, but the mood of this game is not doing me a favor", Lisa told her, "Even if I'm trying to remain confident here".

0000000000000000000000000000000000
"Okay, this is not looking good", Lisa remarked, "At all. We keep losing, we keep making fun of and what's worse! I don't know what I'm doing here. Like, I thought it would be all about strategy, but I guess not, since every decision I made we keep falling behind".
000000000000000000000000000000000

"Hey, can we go next here?" Dororo asked, "I feel pretty positive about myself here".

"Oooooh sensing some good gaming confidence!" Mxy remarked to her, "I like it! At least there is someone here having some fun!"

"The only thing fun is his sh*tty grin turning bloody", Octavia utter.

"Reg, how about you spin the wheel", Dororo said to her.

"Wait, are you sure?"

"Yeah, we're trying to win here. And plus, we are meant to be a tag team so I tag you to go next and win it for us".

"Uhh sure!"

Reg ran up to the wheel and spun it, until it eventually landed them onto the six spaces.

Their peck is moved while carrying a cart filled with their fake cash.

It landed on an action space, to which Reg selected a card and read it, "Your movie that you are star in manage to skyrocket your career".

"Huh?"

"It means your movie was a success".

"Oh".

"Two paths!" Mxy said, "You can either continue with this new career or….retired!"

"Retired?"

"It means you get to rest off and not be involved in any movie projects".

"Uhhh yeah, we'll pass on that", Dororo said, wrapping her arm around Reg, "We pick a future project, of course!"

"Great! Good decision I'm seeing here!" Mxy said.

"Is it me or is that Imp literally spitting at us", Octavia asked Lisa, "I feel like he is".

"Let's try to remain focused on the game here", Lisa told her, "I know I'm not happy about this, but we cannot give up on this".

"Keep telling yourself losers! Because we are further into the game!" King Archer shouted, holding up two bottles of cola as it erupted, spilling the foams everywhere, "Woohoo!"

"Yea keep celebrating, moron. Me and Reg are catching up", Dororo said, "And I think there's a likely chance we may get a bit further than you dorks".

"Ummm what?" Reg asked, being surprised and concerned of her being a bit too competitive in the game.

"Excuse me? Are you trying to challenge me?" King Archer asked her. "Me? King Archer?"

"Duh, isn't it obvious?" Dororo asked with a smirk.

"Yeah well, me and my group are fully capable of winning this! The mother of good luck is on our side".

"Really? I don't see it. Maybe because she's on our side",

"I don't see it either! It's probably because she's too busy trying to do the work for our favor above the sky! Ever think of that?"

"Oh I'm aware of that. I'm aware she's…..ummm, doing the same for us, but better!" Dororo retorted, then asking Reg, "You can back me up at any time, bro".

"Uhhh….I have no comment", Reg said.

"Wow, a teammate who can't think of a good retort", King Archer said, "I can see why your guys are behind us".

"Shut up!" Dororo responded, being defensive of Reg, "You don't know what he's capable of!"

"Guys, let's calm down here", Don told the two of them, "I'm glad you guys are being invested with this, but-"

"Quiet Don, this is getting good here!" Mxy told him.

"Ooooh this is getting interesting!" Blitzwing shouted in his crazy mode, "Does anyone have some energons or popcorn! Ahahahahahaha!"

"Well, if you guys don't mind", Po said, getting up, "I like for me and Furrball to go next please".

"Go ahead", Don said, "Things are getting heated between Archer team and Dororo team".

"Alright then!" Po said, then begin to talk with Furrball, "Okay little guy, you go next. I know our current position isn't looking bright, but we really, really need to win this. So try to think of some….good, positive outcome, okay?"

Furrball looks at him in confusion, finding this advice to not make a whole lot of sense.

"I know, not…one of my best pieces of advice, but good luck!"

As Furrball got off the couch and approached the wheel, Po began to have a small talk with those that are sitting with him, "He's good….real good…just wanna put it out there".

"You realized this game is based on luck, right?" Red Skull asked him.

"Yeah, I'm aware, but….encouraging someone does brighten the mood a bit", Po told him, "Considering you know….we both homeless".

"I'm aware of that".

"Well I got some good news for ya, panda man!" Mxy said, holding up the card that Furrball picked randomly after he spun the wheel, which placed them in third place, "Because you guys are no longer homeless!"

"Heck ya!"

"But dead!"

"What?!"

"Yeah, you guys die from being frozen to death. Sorry, but you guys are out".

"But…but….I didn't know we could die from this!"

"I know, I know, big surprise, but unfortunately you guys are out of the game so…sucks to be you".

"Dang it!" Po exclaimed, crossing his arm as Furrball sat next to him in disappointment as well, "Welp, looks like our participation in game night completely blows".

Furrball nodded.

"Aww don't feel too bad, Po", Mabel said, "At least you guys manage to run your own food establishment"

"Even if it was short lived", Nikki added.

"Thanks guys", Po replied, "Really appreciate it. I mean…it still sucks that it happens. At least me and Furrball can hang out with the skull guy here".

"Do not bring me into this mess of yours", Red Skull told him, "I'd rather stay fifty percent away from you".

"Oh…right".

0000000000000000000000000000000000000000

"By the looks of it, the owl demon girl and her child friend aren't doing better in the college sides of things", Red Skull remarked, "Not surprising, as for one, I do not find them to be interesting enough for me to foil, but secondly, they aren't even worthy of handling the hardship of it….even if I haven't attend to one….don't judge!"

00000000000000000000000000000000000000

A series of montages began which basically or mostly involves each team going through different paths and different scenarios through action cards.

King Archer seems to make it further into the game, much to Octavia's scorn of frustration as she is seeing all this.

Ceviche spun the wheel, landing them on an action card, "Your music album skyrocketed and music studios offer a collab".

"Woohoo! Let's go!" King Archer shouted, raising his body up and holding up air horns, while wearing sunglasses.

Once again, much to the annoyance of their fellow contestants.

John Redcorn spinned the wheel, landing them on another action card, "You are given a chance to stay at a fancy hotel or a mansion".

"Guys, you know what I'm thinking of", King Archer then asked, wearing a golden chain and a riched, slick coat, "Guess what it is?"

"We already own our own mansion", Idree asked, puzzled by this offer, "Why do we need-?"

Before he could respond, King Archer blasted his airhorn at his ear.

"Ow!"

"Eh! Not the answer I'm looking for! We chose the hotel!" King Archer shouted at him, as he pulled out a clipboard, "Like seriously, I got a list of things bands or singers must do once we got popular. One of them is a hotel!"

"Screw you".

"You should be smarter about this, Idree. No offense".

Idree grumbles to himself, as Red Skull finds his intolerance of him more and more pleasing to his mindset, while Ruby only shows worry for him.

Idree is forced to go ( Since Zulius still has his chained attach to the floor ) and spinned the wheel, which lands them on another action card, "You own an island and turn it into your own private resort".

"HA!" King Archer shouted at a non-amused look of Dororo, "Suck at it, poor girl! Wait, not appropriate phasing, I meant to say…..f*ck, I can't come up with a good insult here".

"Can't sing, can't even come up with a good insult. I'm totally doubting about your success".

"Your success can….suck! F*ck! Damn it!"

This caused her to roll her eyes and moan, much to Reg worry.

Ceviche is chosen again to spinned the wheel, which once again lands them on an action card.

As for their peck, it looks like it has changed up a bit. Now sporting a golden pick up truck with other pecks on it, likely being escorted and being filled up with fake money.

"You own a huge record enterprise and are now living it up there", Ceviche read, as a giant miniature structure spawn above him, landing on him, "Ow".

"This is getting better and better!" King Archer loudly stated, wrapping his arm around Zulius, as the both of them cheerfully laugh and dance on the couch to the bothersome of their fellow contestant, until Archer fell down on the ground as if he's drunk, "I'm okay!"

"You know, Idree", Ruby said to him, "Despite what's been…going on with you guys, I gotta congrats for you making it this far".

"Uhh yeah, whatever", Idree said, crossing his arms, "I'm sure that isn't just a fake praise given to me".

"Fake?"

Dororo had enough of this and decided it was her turn to make their situation better.

Before she did so, she got up and wink at Reg to ensure everything was okay.

She ran up to the wheel, spinned it and it landed on the action card, "You made the greatest movie series in the world where you are given some awards for best everything".

Mxy snapped his finger, causing tons and tons of golden statues to appear in a pile, covering Reg and Dororo.

Dororo doesn't know what these things are meant, but she knows what gold is, so she snicker and show it off at King Archer out of spite.

Much to the displease of King Archer, who only retorted this, "Screw you. Those probably contain chocolate in them".

"Not sure that's a good insult",Lucy pointed out, "If anything, that sounds more like a compliment".

"Well, I meant to say, those are likely expired chocolates", King Archer said, "So….ha!"

Dororo team continues, as their position in the game is second place, since they were further to King Archer team.

Dororo spinned the wheel, and they received the choice of getting new homes.

Reg spinned the wheel, they received a resort on an island.

They spinned more and more on the wheel and give them exactly the best results.

They get more money, more offers and more luxury items.

While Dororo is dancing at her and Reg's success in the pile of fake cases, gold statues and such, King Archer watches in complete envy.

"I see your not being overly thrilled about a poor kid making it in the first place", Tomie commented, nonchalantly, "How sad".

"Ummm I'm not jealous about it", King Archer replied, "I'm just…..not in a happy mood that I'm two spaces behind her team!"

"Really? You sound pretty jealous from your tone".

"Shut it!" King Archer responded, "Also, aren't you supposed to be on my side here?"

"Actually, she's on my side", Gimpy clarify, "Since she and me are a team here-"

"I'm aware of that! I recall me liking her sense of humor, in which we both have a bit in common".

"Having a common humor doesn't really equate to me siding with you", Tomie told him.

"Uhhh it does…I think…..damn it, now you made it too complicated".

"Well, well, well, who's the poor kid now, King a**?" Dororo asked, tauntingly, "Looks like me and Reg are making it at the top".

"Screw you! At least we still in the game, and your…..further near the brink of losing", King Archer told them, then asked his teammate, "Guys, back me up".

"Sorry", Zulius replied, laying down in the pile of fortune, "Too occupied with the success we are making".

"I got nothing", John Redcorn replied.

"You got nothing?" Red Skull remarked, making a racist joke in front of him, "Hmph, I see you're losing some sense of honorable advice. Just like your culture".

"Uhhhh…"

"Ceviche, a little help here", King Archer said to him.

"What? What am I supposed to say?"

"I don't know. Your the guy with loads of skills, remember. Give them a good retort".

"Ummm….", Ceviche tried to give a good insult to Dororo, who looked pretty not amused at the moment, "Your….dollars…..are fake….aw man, I can't think of one".

"Booo! Booo!" King Archer shouted, "This is why your not making it on my favorite list!"

00000000000000000000000

"Looks like me and Reg are about to win at this game", Dororo confessed, "I still don't know how this whole movie industry thing works, but I might do a bit of research and maybe use this gig when I get back home".

0000000000000000000000000

Another montage scene happens. This for the other team, as they are….. well…..success doesn't seem to be on their side.

Hellboy and Vicky were next, as when Vicky spinned the wheel it landed in action.

"You receive no help for the past five days, which results in you dying", Vicky said, reading the card and being cripply depressed, "Awww no!"

"Damn", Hellboy remarked, "That sucks".

"Looks like you guys didn't make it out of there after all", Gimpy remarked.

"Yeah, no kidding. Pretty sure something like that would've happened, eventually".

Hellboy and Vicky team are out of the game.

Next is Gimpy and Tomie, and they are immediately out due to their failing toy business and losing their child to child custody.

Their specs are shown to be homeless and are dying by snow from am mini cloud hovering them.

"Looks like you two are out!" Mxy pointed out, "Sorry about losing your kids".

"It's okay", Gimpy replied, "I realized now that taking care of a child…wasn't our best interest…..I think it had something to do with Tomie".

"Hey!"

After that it's Nikki and Mabel….both are out after their character got shot down in an alley.

As seen by their spec laying on the ground with bullet holes and pool of blood.

"Darn", Nikki said, "You think we should've gone with the plumber option? I heard a plumber job is crazy".

"Hmm….good point", Mabel agrees.

Hancock and Stone Luffy were next and are immediately out because Hancock drew illegal drawings of real life folks in…suggestive manners.

As seen with their spec showing it painting a very explicit detail of her and Luffy in a sexual manner that scarred and disturbed some of the contestants, with Mabel covering Waddles eyes.

"Free expression isn't allowed I presume", Hancock said, grudgingly.

"Honestly, that's a pretty weird detail to add and seem like a coincidence", Don remarked.

"Yeah, don't think too hard about this", Mxy said to him.

And lastly, Lucy and Ruby as they are out because…..they failed at surgery.

As seen from the card, as well as showing their spec looking down a dead spec with a open hole on the chest.

"I think we overdo it", Lucy remarked, thinking they actually performed the surgery.

This left Lisa team, King Archer team, and Dororo team the only one left. With Dororo being hugely confident, but at the same time cautious at the game.

"Okay, it would appear so far the three of you manage to make it this far into the game", Don pointed out, "Except for….Lisa team. They still haven't made their move yet".

Octavia was in a very stern mood about this, while Lisa looks nervous and has low-self esteem.

King Archer and his gang are filled with tons of riches with gold coins, fake dollar bills and all sorts of other valuable things like statues and fountains.

They are also dripped with lavish clothing.

King Archer himself is deck with a large, white fur coat, a cap, gold chain and sunglasses, "Totally nailing this game. Hope I don't come off too drunk".

"You've been drinking mostly cola", Idree told him, "I don't know how you getting drunk".

"Really? Huh….for some reason, I feel a little bit drunk. Oh well, guess it is just me being zeal about me winning this".

"A little bit drunk!?"

"Don't get too confident", Red Skull told him, "there's a chance you guys may make a dud if one of you don't play our cards right here".

"Hey, I like to decide when I'm confident", King Archer stated, "And I'm picking this situation as my perfect spot to celebrate".

"Me too", Zulius said, "At this rate, I think it's a perfect time to enjoy our hard work".

"Hard work? No offense, but you guys haven't really done anything that is worth that term", Lisa pointed out.

"Yeah well…your still not at the finish line!" King Archer pointed out at her.

Lisa sigh to herself, "This is why I never like the CIA or any organizations you guys are from".

As for the other group besides the main three, some of them have diverse opinions on the situation so far.

"So guys", Po asked them, "Any bet which of them are going to make it through? Being honest here, I'm leaning more on the Dororo team here".

"I'm sure that's pretty much what we are all thinking about, Panda guy", Gimpy replied, "They totally seem like the types to make it this far. Plus, they are the underdog".

"I don't see any underdogs", Vicky remarked.

"Yeah, no doubt they're going to win", Hellboy said, "That's for sure".

"Me and Nikki agree on that", Mabel said, "I'm rooting for my two buddies over there to win it! Even if…..we kinda…lost".

"I don't consider that a loss", Nikki said, "I consider that as more of a….uhhhh victory favoring those guys".

"What?" Hellboy asked, a bit puzzled by her statement.

"Well I'm going to be real with you all", Tomie said, "I really don't care who wins. I'm just really enjoying the game here".

"Ah yes, enjoy the game after you moan from losing", Red Skull remarked, sarcastically.

"Hmph, well at least I got over with it", Tomie then asked, "By the way, do you have which team to root for?"

"Obviously, I'm keeping that a secret".

"Awww are you sure you don't want to reveal it?" Tomie asked, "Everyone is curious".

"No".

"Hey, some of you guys are putting a lot of hope on Dororo and Reg here", Ruby then pointed out, "What about Lisa and Octavia?"

"Ooooooh them", Po said, as the realization came.

Everyone forgot that Lisa and Octavia were still in the game and are fully…behind.

This is due to Lisa struggling countless times to make it further, but each time resulted in her team being placed back to the same position.

Lisa is seen pretty down on her luck, while Octavia looks at her concerningly.

"Huh, I totally forgot about them", Po said, "She looks pretty ... .sad".

"Not surprising", Red Skull replied, "The girl is having countless crushes and blow, and her hope is dwindling. At this rate, I wouldn't be surprised if her team loses".

"Maybe we should show some support", Ruby suggested.

"She's right", Lucy agrees, "Don't get me wrong, it is kinda pointless to root for her, considering the other two are near the end, but like…..I feel a bit bad for her".

"See".

"Hmmm you do have a point", Mabel said, proceeding to pull out a air horn from her hair and blowing it, shouting, "Come on! Lisa! Get off your sad mood and pick up the pace!"

"Yeah! Pick up the pace!" Nikki joined her, which annoyed half of the contestants, particularly Red Skull, "You got an extra air horn?"

"Uhhh no, this is the only one I manage to bring".

"Darn".

"Ummm hey! Where's our support guys?!" King Archer asked, as he and the others notice of them cheering, "Some cheers for us would be nice".

"F*ck off, Archer", Octavia responded at him, "Nobody is going to cheer for you".

"Ummm do I have to remind you we are literally near the finale here?"

"Ahem", Mxy fake coughs to get their attention, "Listen guys, we are near the end here so let's wrap it up….by the end".

"Anyone want to go first?" Don asked them.

Mxy then pops in and appears next to Lisa, "Lisa! Listen, I know your predicament may seem pretty terrible, but I'll give you this. If your team landed on a space that may likely give you a good outcome, I'll put you near the finish line. Out of the kindness in my heart".

"Hmmm, I doubt that", Octavia said, crossed arm.

"Zip it".

Lisa sighs to herself, realizing their situation isn't looking any good, but continues to keep trying, "Okay, okay, let's do this".

"Already hopeless to continue, girl", Idree pointed out, "I'm just saying".

"F*ck off", Octavia told him off, "Lisa, just pretend we are not in a crummy predicament, okay?"

"We are still going to keep reminding her about it", King Archer clarified.

Lisa approached the wheel and spinned it.

The wheel spinned, until it eventually landed on the action card.

Lisa looked away as she selected the card, then proceeded to take a glimpse of it and read it, "You manage to make an outstanding grade…..oh, that's a relief".

"Hold up, there's more", Mxy said to her, pointing it out, "Keep reading".

"Unfortunately, it isn't enough to keep yourself into the semester so they have to kick you out, making you a dropout", Lisa pauses, look away from the card with a deadpan expression and responded, "Yeah, I'm done".

"Lisa?" Octavia asked, confusingly as Lisa walked out of there.

"I am officially done".

"Hold up, really?"

"Ha! Took her like…what? 3 hours until she finally get it", King Archer said, "Looks like it's just you and me, orphan girl!"

00000000000000000000000000000000000000000

"I know what I did back there was…." Lisa confesses, "A bit out of character. But here's the thing. I literally went through the same process of losing over and over and over again, meanwhile Archer team gets more winning streak here. It has literally made my day both horrible, made my second in command leadership come off as humiliating and worst of all…actually no, there's no third reason there".

00000000000000000000000000000000000000

After Lisa leaves to go back to her room, it leaves Octavia alone by herself, feeling completely awful that they lose.

This makes the other contestants ( Well, more of the competitors that have empathy ) feel pity over them.

"Darn ... .anyone feels kinda bad here?" Nikki asked anyone.

"Not me", King Archer replied, "I'm too hype that we are about to win this".

"Welp, let's not sidetrack from here", Mxy said, "Dororo? Archer? Which one of you want to go first?"

"Me! I'll go first!" King Archer said, "Idree! Go out and spinned the wheel for us, and make sure we win!"

"Whatever. Just make sure you don't scold me if we lose", Idree said.

"No promises".

"Screw you", Idree said, as he got up and headed to the wheel.

"Aren't you being a bit….well, a bit of a jerk to him?" Ruby asked him.

"Reminder. He's a Taliban", King Archer states, "Anything I do to him is justified".

Idree headed to the wheel and spinned it.

Once the arrow landed on an action space, he took a card and read it, "You guys make an album so peak that it landed you a forever nostalgic legacy for generation to know".

"YES! We won!" King Archer proclaimed, raising his fist in the air, "Woohoo! We freaking won!"

"Hold on, we're still in the game here, you doofus", Dororo stated.

"Yeah, but it's not going to matter, since we literally won!" King Archer shouted…..until eventually he passed out and collapsed onto the board game, destroying it in the process, leaving the cast and the host stunned by what happened.

"Okaaaay…..that just happened", Don remarked.

"Yep", Mxy nodded, "Looks like our king of the house has passed out".

"I am surprised and not surprised by that", Red Skull remarked.

"Should we continue on with this or-?" Don asked him.

"Honestly Don, I originally planned on having us go through tons of board games for this night, but….I'm feeling it so….Archer won!" Mxy said, "Challenge over".

"Ugh! Finally, we can go!" Zulius said, as he tried to move, but realized he's chained up to the ground, but that didn't stop him from trying, ripping the chains off the floor as he walked out of there.

"Uhhh we did lose, right?" Reg asked Dororo.

Dororo only responded with a shrug, along with, "I don't know. I kinda was enjoying this, until this happened".

"Yeeeeeaaah", Mxy said, floating near them, then proceeded to toss them the pop tarts box, "Anyways, here's your reward, I guess".

"But we didn't win-"

"Just take it!"

---

And that's the ending! Yep, Lisa lost, Dororo and Reg lost because….and King Archer celebrates because he's Archer.

So yea, not much I could say about this chapter. It chilled, got to show off more of the contestant being in the same room and chatting, but….that's it.

Gotta be honest, originally I was going to cover other board games and such, but…..got tired of writing this halfway through so gotta end it abruptly.

So yeah, this chapter is alright. Overall, not bad….up to you guys what you think of this chapter, honestly.

Anyways, the next chapter is the yard sale! Where the contestant must sell some of their items off. This will also contain some guest appearances, but I won't spoil who.

That's all I have to say. Leave a review on what you guys think and I'll be on my way.
