The episode began with Announcer greeting the audience from outside of Xover Mansion, as usual.
"Hello viewers, and welcome back to Tyranny Of The Masses! Last time, our 15 guests made themselves at home in Xover Mansion, some managed to get buddy-buddy with each other, others became mortal enemies. And today, they will participate in their very first challenge! The top 3 in the challenge will receive immunity for the nomination process, whilst everyone else will be at the mercy of the viewers, or masses if you will. Want to know what happens next?
Find!
Out!
Now!"
And thus, right as Announcer finished his speech, he began another, this one to be heard by the sleeping contestants.
"Attention everyone! Your second day has begun! Report to the challenge room immediately!"
No one's gotten used to the wake up calls from Announcer, so everyone was just kind of frustrated by the sudden announcement.
Jesse was the first to complain. "Oh, what the hell man? I just started gettin' comfy!"
Ljudmila Vetrova agreed. "Ugh, same. At this point, I'm not even sure if this mansion's better than Haven Island."
"The metal box's scream is NOT a way to treat royalty!" King Knight yelled.
"Can everyone stop whining and go to the challenge room?" Marvin asked them. "I wanna finish this as quickly as possible!"
Everyone there said "Agreed" and left the room. Except one of course.
"Hello? Did you people forget about me?" GLaDOS asked as everyone was leaving the Living Quarters.
"We sure are you robotic spawn of Satan!" Rolf said as he left the room. "Rolf hopes you burn in the fires of nothingness!"

The 13 guests had arrived right at the Challenge Room's door, awaiting Announcer to open it.
"Yep, first challenge we're participating in." Trucy remarked. "Anybody feeling nervous and all that? Not counting Marvin of course, cuz he always is."
"I'd normally try arguing against that, but it's painfully true." Marvin said.
"Whatever it is I'll probably win it!" Simon bragged. "Especially with these two guns!" He pointed to his biceps before kissing them.
"Oh I'm so jealous!" Ljudmila replies to Simon.
"You've got strange tastes in men Miss Vetrova." Trucy said, frustrating Vetrova.

Ljudmila: UGH! Now on one hand, my deception seems to be working just fine. On the other, I can't fucking stand pretending to love that retard!

Announcer arrived at the scene out of nowhere, briefly startling everyone nearby.
"Hello everyone! It's now time for the show's first challenge! Are you ready?" He asked the guests.
"Yo dude, where the hell did ya come from?" Jesse wondered.
"Maybe he used a magic trick similar to Trucy's?" Owen said.
"It's a secret, nothing that you need to know."

Owen: And I wanna know!

"One more thing before I open this door: Chef Pee Pee! Come over with the last contestant!"
"Fine! I'll bring her in!" Yelled Chef Pee Pee from far away as he brought a sleeping Dum with him.
"Oh, so that's what was making noises in the kitchen!" King Knight remarked.
Dum's eye/visor started to open. "Whoa, w-where am I?"
"You're about to begin our first challenge with the rest of your competitors!" Announcer explained.
"Oh. Also, WHY DID NO ONE EVEN THINK ABOUT HELPING ME?! HAVE I BEEN A BAD BAD GIRL OR SOMETHING?!"
"Well you refused to eat your broccoli, that's pretty bad right?" Chef Pee Pee responded.
"Rolf agrees. Not eating broccoli when it's given to you is considered BLASPHEMY at the Old Country, punishable by death alongside snoring whilst in a spa and tying your shoes at 15 o'clock on Thursdays!"
Ljudmila laughed at that. "The Old Country sounds wonderful, certainly better than the snoring shitheads at Haven Island!"
"True that miss scantily clad slav!"
"Does it have Fortnite: Battle Royale?" Eggman asked.
"It does not, but it does have Fall Guys: Ultimate Knockout!"
"WHAT THE FU-" Eggman yelled before Announcer shut him up with his claw hand.
"Sssshhhhh. I believe it's time we start. Chef Pee Pee, would you do the honors?"
Chef Pee Pee used a key he had on him to open the door to the challenge room, revealing a mostly empty room with a large balance beam in the center, enough to carry around 20 people.
"Wow!" Owen went.
"What the fuck do you mean by wow?" Eggman complained. "It's just a shitty bridge! I could be playing Final Fantasy 14 instead of this shit!"
Jesse was a bit confused. "They're at 14? Damn, I thought there were like 10 of that emo gay shit!"
"J-Jesse, casual homophobia might not get you far in this game." Greg advised. "And this is coming from a guy whose company is way more than casual about that!"
"Shit! Um, I'm s-sorry I said something that was kinda, like, homophobic okay? I won't do it again."
"Oh my fucking god! Twitter Dot Com is so going to cancel you!" Do I even need to fucking explain who said that?
"Regardless of our different views on someone's sexuality, I believe we should move on as I explain what this challenge is."
"Let me guess, we're crossing a bridge or something?" Marvin speculated.
"Nope. It's a survival based challenge instead."
"Can you be more specific?" Asked Daisy.
"In this challenge, all of you will have to stay on this balance beam until only one is left. The top 3 will win immunity, with the winner receiving their own personalized item for themselves. And most importantly, all shoving, kicking and horseplaying is allowed!"
"If that happens to be our only challenge, then I will most likely be declared the winner of this brawl of ours with ease!" King Knight boasted.
"We'll see that big guy! We'll see that." Daisy fires back at him.
"What are waiting for? Let's go chicos!" Nemona yelled.
"Love that enthusiasm Nemona. Now, get on the balance beam!"
The 14 guests were all on the balance beam now, barely able to do so with Owen and Eggman's combined weight. Oh, and Dum was still tied to a chair.
"Someone get me outta here! I don't deserve this darnation!"
"I-I'll do it!" Owen said.
But before he could so, Trucy stopped him. "Hey Owen, you probably shouldn't do that. Or at least do it AFTER the challenge, cause it's not a good idea to help out the enemy."
Owen looked displeased, but understood what she meant. "Fine."
Announcer used a floating platform to watch over the challenge at hand. "It seems that everyone is ready for the challenge, right?"
Everyone responded with a "Yes", except Candy Suxxx cuz I can't say what the hell she said and Dum, who yelled out a "NO!" at the top of her lungs, which Announcer ignored.
"Good to know. Our first contest starts in 3, 2, 1, now!"
Simon was the first to do something in the challenge, getting his whip out and targeting Rolf. "I'm getting that sweet sweet immunity, and you sir are in my way!"
He tried to attack Rolf, who pulled out a giant fish to deflect Simon's whip and to attack him. "After this, you'll be begging for Rolf's Cupcake of Sorryness!"
Rather than even try to actually battle him, Simon cowardly ran towards Ljudmila's back. "I'm scared!"
All Ljudmila did was utter a single "pathetic" which Simon didn't hear at all.
Trucy meanwhile took out Mr. Hat, who had a little sword with him, and he managed to take out Candy Suxxx and Jesse rather quickly. "Great job Mr. Hat!" She congratulated her puppet.
Greg decided to ally with Eggman of all people for this challenge. "Alright sir, 2 is better than 1, and since there's 3 immunity spots, we can team up to get ourselves that! Any problem?"
"Whatever. Your ass can just stay behind me as I unleash my ultimate weapon!"
"And that would be?"
"Hush now white scum. I need for my dick to recharge, then I'll go in on the offensive."
"Sounds good to me."
King Knight wasted no time on the challenge, going straight to Marvin and dashing into him, which almost sent him off the beam, and then spinned around in the air and landed on the puppet man, sending him out of the contest, angering Daisy, who witnessed all that commotion with her very eyes.
"Marvin!" She yelled out. "You jerk! You'll pay for this!"
"The only ones who shall ever pay are worthless peasants!" King Knight said, as he and Daisy brawled it out.
After Ljudmila and Simon ran off, Rolf decided to set his sights on Trucy. "Whatever is your black magic, it will be no match for Rolf's cultural pride!"
Trucy wasn't very intimidated by Rolf. "We'll see that, scrawny kid!"
She then commanded Mr. Hat to attack Rolf, who fought back with his dead fish, and when Mr. Hat tried one last attack with his sword, Rolf bit the weapon in half and threw the puppet off the beam.
"Huh, good job bud." Trucy congratulated, as she jumped off the balance beam, conceding her defeat.
Daisy and King Knight's battle was relatively even, with both getting quite a few hits in, but never enough to knock the other off.
That is until Daisy had enough of this and grabbed a little blue flower from her pocket. "That's it! You'll be frozen in fear with this!"
She took a little bite out of that flower, causing her clothes to become white and allowed her to have ice powers, which she used to freeze King Knight still.
"Off you go big guy!" She said as she pushed the frozen King Knight off the balance beam.
Nemona and Owen were watching from afar all of these fights, both happy to have not been pushed off yet.
"A-Alright Owen, j-just, hang on a little l-longer." He muttered, scared.
"Come on, this is perfect! If we don't move, we can anticipate any move they might make on us!" Nemona reassured him.
"Y-Yeah, you're right. No need to worry at all!"
Eggman was steadily "recharging" his power by drinking a whole bunch of Kool Aid and other sorts of Gamer juice until he couldn't hold it in anymore, disgusting Greg.
"Uh, Eggman? You ok?" He asked, concerned.
"AH! My power's been fully recharged! It's time now! Behold, MY SUPER LASER PISS!"
Eggman used his SUPER LASER PISS to melt about half of the balance beam, where Owen, Nemona, Daisy and Rolf all resided.
And their half then started to fall.
"Everyone, push me down! PUSH ME DOWN!" Owen yelled in a futile attempt to keep their half of the beam up, but nonetherless, it fell down, eliminating all 4 of them at once.
"And with that, our player count in this contest went from 9 to 5 in an instant, all thanks to Eggman's brilliant, and admittedly disgusting strategy!" Announcer said. "Now it's down to Dum, Dr. Eggman, Greg Hirsch, Ljudmila Vetrova and Simon Belmont! 2 of these will be up for voting, while the other 3 will be immune!"
Dum was sleeping like a baby by the time of that announcement, and it woke her up. "Ugh, can someone just please remove me from these SHACKLES?"
Ljudmila was the only one to answer to her cries. "Oh, poor girl. I'll help you just you wait!"
"YAY!" Dum yelled in happiness.
Meanwhile, Greg was talking to Eggman.
"Dude, what you did was seriously messed up! Please make sure to never do it again!"
"I would promise you that, but since you're not a nonbinary black asexual lesbian or something more progressive, I will not!"
Greg is then thrown off the balance beam by Dum getting thrown at him, getting both eliminated.
Ljudmila, who threw Dum in the first place, is quite happy about that.
"And immunity goes to me!" She exclaimed.
"Don't you mean us?" Simon interrupted.
"Sure."
"And now we have our immune players. These are: Dr. Ivo "Eggman" Robotnik, Ljudmila Vetrova and Simon Belmont! Who is going to win? Find out now!"
"HAH! I've got immunity you fucking idiots! I'm officially a god! Now give me the fucking prize before I piss on those two!"
Both Ljudmila and Simon looked at Eggman, then exchanged looks at each other, and already figured out what to do.
They threw Eggman's fatass down, leaving just the two of them.
"Finally, we're the last ones standing!" Simon exclaimed. "Care to give a kiss, mi amor?
"I'll do so. After the challenge!"
"Huh?"
Ljudmila then then threw Simon down the balance beam, finally winning her immunity.
"And with that, Ljudmila Vetrova is officially the winner of our first challenge! She will not only be safe from nomination, but will also receive her own personalized prize, which happens to be a tanning bed!"
Ljudmila had a little smirk on her face at that comment. "Great, my beauty has to be preserved somehow."
"As everyone else, Simon and Eggman are also immune from nomination, leaving the rest to be up for voting! Viewers, vote to nominate 3 characters to be nominated, and remember to stay tuned for more Tyranny Of The Masses!"
That was something.
Anyways, here are the voting rules:
-voting ends February 13, exactly a week after this chapter released
-you will vote 3 characters to be nominated for elimination.
-you can ONLY vote with an account, and you need to explain your reasoning, to make sure I don't count spam votes.
Example for a vote:
"I vote for Ljudmila, Simon and Eggman. Ljudmila cuz she is a slut, Simon cuz he is a coward and Eggman cuz he is annoying!"
-another thing I nearly forgot to mention: The worst placing contestant in the challenge gets one vote as penalty, so Candy Suxxx has one by default.
And with that, my work here is done.
Be sure to give your throughts in a review and to vote as long as its before february 13.
Ciao
