A/N: Episode 5 is here! It's time to start your engines for the Total Drama Racing Gran Prix!
NOTE: Looks like the site's being weird again on FF Dot Net as the previous chapter isn't showing up again with the same error as last time. It seems to be a mobile only thing this time, at least on my end as desktop seems fine. Remember that this story is also posted on AO3 and Quotev under my accounts there with the same name here whenever that happens(I'm late on the Wattpad updates. I'll try to get to that eventually).
Finally, I'm aware that a lot of people aren't familiar with every single character in this season, especially some of my own with many of them being really obscure picks. Scan2GO is VERY obscure, even though it was on Cartoon Network. The same with Power Stone, and the sports animes that are here. I've never been a Deviantart guy, but I've decided to create one just to make a cheat sheet for this season. I'll create additional cheat sheets as late entries are made. The Deviantart name is StaticShock901(StaticShock01 was already taken), the same as my FF Dot Net, AO3, Quotev, and Wattpad names.
Answers to previous trivia questions:
Question 1:
C: Black Butler
To this day, Black Butler only has one official video game: Black Butler: Phantom and Ghost on the DS but it was only a Japan release. I haven't played it, but from what I researched, there's an English patch available, so there's that.
Air Gear and Fairy Tail characters appeared in Sunday VS Magazine on the PSP with Ikki and Ringo(As her alter ego Croissant Mask) and Natsu and Lucy representing their respective franchises. Only watched this game on Youtube but it seems fun.
Eyeshield 21 characters appeared in Jump Super Stars and Jump Ultimate stars on the DS. Though Hiruma, Sena, Kurita and all other characters that appear are only support and help characters. No characters from the franchise are actually playable in these two games. Fun fact, these two games were how I discovered Eyeshield 21.
Question 2:
A: Ace of Diamond
As far as I know, no characters from the franchise have appeared in any crossover games either.
Oddly enough Prince of Tennis has several games, even more than Jojo(there's only 14 Jojo games that I know of, remasters included, not counting crossover games).
Also never even knew that Prince of Tennis was redubbed thanks to Funimation/Crunchyroll(The original Toonami Jetstream dub honestly wasn't even bad, it was decent, even though it never finished like Eyeshield 21 didn't, but at least that's been preserved). The cast for the redub looks a lot more stacked than I thought it was going to be(haven't watched it yet). Sam Riegel, Wayne Grayson, J. Michael Tatum(Sebastian), Patrick Seitz, Robbie Daymond, Dameon Clarke, Mike Pollock and even Chris Sabat are some highlights in the cast from what I discovered. Pretty odd that Yuri Lowenthal was in the original dub but wasn't in the redub.
Reviews:
Zaksauruszilla: Yes! I'll try to bring back as many as possible to make some sort of appearance, even if they aren't competing. If I can't get their appearance to make sense I won't try to force it though.

"Last time on Total Drama Across the Multiverse! It was time to take rollerblading to the extreme as the teams travelled to East Side City and rode in fully automated skates called ATs!"
Footage of the teams arriving to East Side City was shown.
"As they awaited for the Noyamano sisters to arrive with the skates, they all got an opportunity to explore the city a bit. Though I gave them a disclaimer ahead of time that I would not be responsible for any damage they caused or anything they bought! That's all on them. And yeah, from what I heard, some bought things, and some caused some damage to restaurants. Again, none of that's on me! I warned them!"
Footage of Lucy, Rei, Haizaki, Julie, and Fiona at a store was seen. Hiruma and Launch were seen shooting up a restaurant that several other contestants including Ben, Yang, Rook, Kagami, Natsu, Midorima, who was wearing a tiger mask, and Sendo, were in.
"Though, on the bright side, looks like some of them have bonded too, including Akko and Luz, and the three musketeers of hotheads, and passion: Sendo, Kagami and Natsu!"
"Challenge wise, they only had five minutes to practice with the ATs, and only seven from each team would be chosen for this 3-way battle! Each team would race to get stickers that had their team logos on them in the middle of a tower, rules that are used in official AT races. And that's not all, since it's a battle, they all had free reign to use whatever they've got in their bag of tricks to stop the other team from getting through, help their teammates get through the race, and/or themselves, and it led to same insane events!"
"And damage in the city! Don't forget the damage!" Chef said.
"You had to bring that up didn't you?" Chris asked. "But yeah, naturally, considering we didn't exactly do anything to cut them off from people that were just living their normal lives in the city and the park, that was bound to happen, but it was still pretty entertaining regardless."
Footage of Lucy using Taurus, Sebastian and Yulaw battling against each other for first, Dwayne and Bachira showing off their footwork from completely different sources as they battled each other and Sly putting his acrobatics on display was shown.
"But it was Jotaro, Fiona, Lucy and Kagami that really stole the show. Lucy showing off some of her Celestial Spirits and using them to her and her team's advantage, Fiona using her Satellite Owl to use Lucy's own created advantage for her team against her and Jotaro being able to completely shut down Fiona's plans. She called lightning strikes and Jotaro brushed them off like it was nothing!"
Footage of Fiona using Satellite Owl and Jotaro being the only one on the Kings that went underground being unscathed before he knocked the Satellite Owl and eventually, Infinite Leopatra, out was shown.
"Do you have any idea what exactly he used to do that? The cameras didn't catch anything." Chef said.
"Nope! No idea. Whatever it was, it helped because he was able to throw Skipper to the tower and to the finish line to help his team win. It would have been First Class for the Kings again, if it wasn't for Kagami that was. His refusal to quit gave him some insane jumping power. He claims to not have any powers. Yeah dude, that Zone, whatever that is, that's definitely a power. And with the help of Lucy and Virgo, he threw Puss down, hard, to the finish line, using a move that according to Kise, was called the Meteor Jam. Honorable mention to Kurita for hanging in there. With what he did to Alejandro and Kageyama, he's definitely no Owen that's for sure. No offense to you big guy. You did win a season." Chris said.
Footage of Jotaro throwing Skipper and Kagami jumping to an insane height and hangtime that it looked as if he was flying before throwing Puss down the hole that Virgo dug with such incredible force that blue lightning was streaking after him.
"Doesn't matter what it was called, it helped his team get across the finish, not for second, but for a tie!" Chef said.
Footage of Chris looking at the replay only for him to call it a tie after not being able to figure when Puss cross the finish line was shown.
"Both the Rats and the Kings got to enjoy meals from the Noyamano sisters and First Class! Too bad we couldn't say the same for the Breakers. Undeniably getting last, the Wave Breakers were treated to economy class, and their first elimination of the season." Chris said.
Footage of the elimination ceremony for the team was shown with Haizaki and Richie being the last two.
"It was down to Richie and Haizaki, the former being on the chopping block because of their poor performance in the challenge, being the worst out of everyone, and the latter for their personality, despite their good performance in the challenge. And ultimately, Richie was voted out." Chef said.
Footage of Richie, and by group rules, Virgil, being eliminated and sent out of the plane and into a portal back to Dakota was shown.
"But, from what was seen at the end in the conversation between Aomine and Haizaki, it looks like a bit of sabotage might have been involve on Haizaki's part. Looks like he's got abilities of his own, like Kagami, and it looks like his allows him to steal skills from others, with Richie being his victim, which could very well explain his poor play. Though according to him, he could have did it to anyone, so it wasn't even targeted either. Can't imagine that's going to sit well with some of the others if they ever found out." Chris said.
Footage of Haizaki and Aomine talking to each other in the bathroom was seen.
"Now we bring things to today, where we prepare for the next challenge of the season! Will the Wave Breakers be able to bounce back and be able to taste victory for the first time this season? What kind of goodies will the team that faces elimination be treated to? Find out all of this and more on this episode of Total….. Drama….. Across the Multiverse!"
*Total Drama Across the Multiverse Intro Plays*
Cameras started appearing in random spots around the small island, one of them popping up below an unsuspecting Furuya, who was practicing his pitching form.
Heloise pressed a button as the boats changed to a plane.
The scene changes to being on board the plane where a clapperboard was snap shut before the view goes throughout the plane.
"Dear mom and Dad I'm doing fine."
The view changes to the camera going through the streets of East Side City as Ringo was seen skating along with Ikki, with Ringo giving a smile to the camera before it was quickly sent upwards, going through a portal where there was a large Tower where ships were seen flying to and from said Tower.
"You guys are on my mind."
After going past the Tower, another portal was seen, teleporting the camera where Owen was underwater trying to get the treasure chest that was there only to be confronted by a shark. A shark that Jasmine punched with Owen giving a thumbs up in appreciation, only for Jasmine to unknowingly take the treasure.
"You asked me what I wanted to be and now I think the answer is plain to see."
Ben, as Ripjaws, goes behind her in an attempt to take it, but accidentally scares her causing her to throw the treasure upwards onto a boat, having it land right in the hands of MacArthur who grinned at her unexpected, but welcomed triumph only for Sly to sneakily take it from her, with her only being able to shake her fist at him as he was already getting away with the help of Rex.
"I wanna be famous!"
The camera changed locations again, this time in West City as the God of Destruction, Beerus, along with Whis, Makoto Kino and Murasakibara were all enjoying dessert only for Haizaki to take a piece of cake that Sebastian made off an unsuspecting Makoto's plate with Makoto, Murasakibara, Sebastian and Beerus not too happy about it. Haizaki was smiling, but not for long as he would suffer a painful hit in the crotch and fall to the ground, writhing in pain from a stray golf ball from Priya who ran over quickly to make sure he was okay and apologize.
"I wanna live close to the sun!"
In the Courtyard, Dragonfly Jones was taunting his opponent, who was Karin with the "come at me" gesture before suddenly dancing and then deciding to telegraph an obvious kick, allowing her to counter and kick him upwards into the air and unknowingly into a portal that appeared, causing Yulaw, Becky B. and the Older Bennett to facepalm.
"Go pack your bags 'cause I've already won"
The camera then changed to a futuristic version of New York in the year 2105, where Miyuki, Todd, Toxsa and Mikey were playing video games only for Dragonfly to crash through Cody Jones' penthouse and knock over Serling who falls on the VR device that was being used to project the game to the four.
"Everything to prove nothing in my way, I'll get there one day"
The camera changed to a grassy area where Eijun was energetically practicing his bat swings with Monta encouraging him only for him to swing the bat too hard, throwing it and almost hitting Din and Rally who were both doing target practice. Although both ducked, the bat's victim was Midorima's lucky item which was a tiger mask he was wearing on his face, which caused him to yell in horror after realizing what just happened.
"Cause I wanna be famous!"
Both Rei and Reimu, in their shrine maiden outfits were drinking tea as Rei tried to teach a confused Reimu about some of the pop culture of the world only for a basketball to come flying their way, hitting both of them in the face. They both angrily looked at the possible culprits, with Aomine casually pointing at Kagami, even though Aomine was the one that did it, trying to see if he could copy Kuroko's Ignite Pass Kai which failed.
"Na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na!"
Before he could even attempt to explain himself, the two were already chasing Kagami with Aomine smiling only to be scared by Kuroko himself, who appeared out of nowhere, causing Aomine to run away. Though it was revealed to have actually been Nimona as she laughed.
"I wanna be, I wanna be, I wanna be famous!"
As X and Lanolin were collaborating together for plans for their team, Axl was launched by Tangle via her tail as he performed some trick shots on some Dynamite that Rocky threw in the air, causing an explosion to happen. Though Axl's landing wasn't pretty as he fell through a tree, falling on an unsuspecting Mayuzumi, who wasn't happy that his reading was disturbed.
"I wanna be, I wanna be"
As Tangle went over to check on Axl and apologize, Luz and Akko were next to another tree as Akko was reading a Good Witch Azura book, amazed at how similar she was to Shiny Chariot, giving Luz her Shiny Chariot card, who was also equally amazed at the card. Though their reading would be interrupted as Chris would be heard calling them all out with a microphone connected to speakers.
"I wanna be famous!"
They, and several others ran to the World Tournament arena. Zak S. was running only for Zak M. to use his Fang's grappling hook to trip him up and laugh as he ran past him with Zak S. retaliating with the same thing, but in his case, also pulling off Zak M.'s pants, revealing his red and white boxers with hearts on them, the colors also notably reversed compared to Zak S.'s and was embarrassed as he tried to put his pants back on.
Many of the contestants whistled the TD tune as Marinette and Adrien got closer to one another only to be scared unintentionally by Kuroko who appeared out of nowhere and was talking to Hinata, with both of their heads being grabbed by Kagami and Kageyama respectively as the two prodigies looked at one another with a competitive edge. The same could be said for Zak S. and Zak M., Albedo and Ben, and Kise and Haizaki as a blimp with the words "Total Drama Across the Multiverse" were shown overhead before Hiruma shot two rifles in the air, scaring everyone.
*End Intro*
A/N: With this being a Gran Prix style challenge, this challenge will be split into multiple chapters.
Midorima's Lucky Item of the Day:
A Pack of Carrots
A/N: For anyone wondering how I determine his lucky items, I just randomize them. Because of how random his lucky items are in the show and manga, I just put in anything that comes to mind and randomize them out of that group for each episode. Almost anything's on the table when it comes to him lol.
Songs:
?(?)
Hot by Smash Mouth(Hot Wheels World Race)
Anything but Down by Chris Holmes(Hot Wheels Acceleracers)
Living in the City composed by Richard Jacques and performed by TJ Davis(Sonic R)
Never Give Up by John Mitchell, Tom Keenlyside, & David Iris (Scan2Go)
Real Gone by Sheryl Crow(Cars 1) A/N: I was torn between this and Run that Race in Cars 3 but I personally liked Real Gone more.
Challenge Inspirations:
Team Racing Scheme: Hot Wheels World Race Movie
Longer Gran Prix Tournament Scheme: Wipeout PlayStation Video Games(Compared to racing games like F-Zero and Juiced 2 which are usually at most 6 races, some Wipeout Racing Tournaments go to up to 12 races)
First Race: Total Drama Everything 3's Obstacle Course Challenge by TheMasterKat on FF Dot Net, "Monster Appetite", "Major Payne, Major Gain", "Challenge: Impossible" and "Camper Season" episodes from Total Drama Island: Multiverse Edition & TD ROTI's Mad Skills Challenge from Episode 2: Truth or Laser Shark(Not everything is a 1-1 as I know obstacle courses aren't uncommon in TD seasons, but much of it is inspired by those things)
Hot Wheels Acceleracers: Ignition's Kadeem and Acceledrome Introduction Scenes along with the Clash on the Coast Racing Scene and a racing scene from my Hot Wheels Acceleracers: The Final Lap story
Castle of Destiny's Road Rash section from my previous season Total Drama Island: Multiverse Edition
Monster Truck Racing: Cars Race-O-Rama's Monster Truck Racing Mode and Mater-National Championship Video Games(Fun Fact: The Race Course that'll be used in this was originally going to be in the first movie as seen in the 2005 trailer but was scrapped and instead used for the two games mentioned. I never knew this until I started researching potential tracks to use from the Cars universe since no characters or places have ever been used in any TD fics to my knowledge.)
Need for Speed Carbon's Canyon Dueling/Racing
Test Drive: Eve of Destruction Video Game's Detention game mode and Flagpole Race(A/N: I hated the Flagpole Race event with a passion in this game. Now some of your picks get to experience the pain I felt when playing this mode and more as there will be some other quirks that wasn't in this mode).
Monster Jam(Moreso the first video game. Although I still had an interest of monster trucks back then when I was a kid even before I wanted the game for the DS lol)
Final Race: ?(?)
Honorable mention:
Thenewsubwayguy's Sonic Riders chapter in Ultimate Islands on FF Dot Net and AO3. Granted, Sonic R and Sonic Riders are two completely different games but seeing his take encouraged me to bring in Sonic R and its amazing soundtrack after scrapping the idea in Multiverse Edition. Oddly enough, I've never watched or played any Sonic Riders games other than seeing a bit of Sonic Free Riders. I've only heard of a couple of the characters and that's it.
Special Guests for Today's Episode:
Harold(Total Drama)(A/N: Apparently he was supposed to be in the actual Mad Skills challenge from the season but that idea was cut. Not 100% sure if this is true or not)
Dr. Tezla(Hot Wheels World Race/Acceleracers)
Zeb(Hot Wheels Acceleracers)(A/N: An original character created from Hot Wheels Acceleracers: The Final Lap story)
Brian Kadeem(Hot Wheels World Race/Acceleracers)

Additional Announcers for Some Races:
Wangari(Little Witch Academia)
Gus Porter(The Owl House)
Nimbus(Destiny 2)(A character suggested by Knight on FF Dot Net for this season. I promised that if I couldn't bring them in as a contestant, I'd have them in as a guest. And commentating the Sparrow Racing Section is more than perfect for them)

Antares(Scan2Go) Fun fact I learned today: Lucas Gilbertson voices him. Notably, he voiced Zero in MMX8 and Maverick Hunter X. I believe he did Command Mission too. My personal favorite voice for Zero will always be Johnny Yong Bosch though. His work as him in MVC3 and MVCi is just too good.
Taiga(Scan2Go)
Titi(Scan2Go)
Kate Alen(F-Zero)(A character requested by PrincessGumballWaterson777)
It was another day on this small island. And another day sleeping in this sorry excuse for a mansion(if you even want to call it that with how bad it was).
Though their sleep would be disturbed as the roof was suddenly broken through(even though there were already a few holes in it from before when they were there the first) time. Multiple groups of two canisters were suddenly seen in different parts of the mansion before they exploded. One was a flashbang, and another was knockout gas.
Sebastian and Hiruma were the only ones prepared for them with Sebastian throwing one of them back and Hiruma wearing a gas mask, laughing before shooting at the helicopter with a machine gun. Rally and May were also about to retaliate but were too late and were both knocked out by the gas.
Hiruma was hit with a sleeping dart from far away, knocking him out.
"I figured this was going to happen. And since there's probably not much I can really do to stop you, could you go outside please? We're about to start the challenge." Heloise said to Sebastian as certain people's bed were lifted by cranes.
"Sure. Although I must say this is an interesting way to start the challenge." Sebastian said. "May I ask why you sent sleeping gas and flashbangs?"
"Yeah, that. It was to make sure no one would wake up or try to fight back. And here we are." Heloise said.
"I see. Then they will surely be getting one hell of a wakeup call. But personally, I would have liked to at least see everyone be fed first." Sebastian said.
"Oh trust me, they'll be fed." Heloise said, a devious grin on her face.
Unknown Island
After everyone except for 3 from each team were woken up, the confessional outhouse was also carried in by another helicopter from Chef.
For the Rats, Zee, Emma, and Eyeshield were still asleep.
For the Kings, Courtney, Razer, and Reimu were still asleep.
And for the Breakers, Dwayne, Launch and Reagan were still asleep.
"Care to give an explanation as to why we were hit with knockout gas and flashbangs?" Rally asked.
"And also why they aren't awake?" Becky F. added, gesturing to the group of three.
Chris didn't answer and blew an amplified airhorn on the nine of them. But it was so loud, the ears of the others(except for Heloise, Chef and Chris himself), all suffered from collateral damage.
Everyone jumped out of their beds. One of them notably having spiky dark brown hair that swept up to the left.
"AHHHHHH! OH MY GOD!" Reagan yelled.
Doyle, who also appeared, with the same mask on that he used to wear during his days as Van Rook's apprentice, Hiruma in hand, was also forced to cover his ears.
"Wow. Thank you so much for giving me a heads up you were going to do that." Doyle said sarcastically to Chris.
"WHAT?" Chris said.
"I said-" Doyle started before realizing he had headphones on before shooting them off his head.
"You could have just gotten me to take the headphones off!" Chris said.
"And you could have warned me ahead of time you were going to do that!" Doyle said.
"Sorry! Forgot!" Chris said.
"Really? Really!? At least let me get my coffee first." Reagan said.
"The heck is going on with your hair?" Doyle asked.
"Look, it's not my fault Chris-" Reagan started.
"No, not you. Actually, your hair looks awful too. I was talking to him." Doyle said, referring to Kuroko.
"Oh. Hello." Kuroko said to Doyle.
"Looks like you got some competition for bad bed hair Tetsu." Aomine said.
Kuroko casually looks upward at his hair before touching the top of it.
"Your hair doesn't exactly look normal either Aomine." Kuroko said in his usual low deadpan voice.
"Huh?" Aomine said, confused.
"Word of advice. Never do this again Chris, or everyone will look like this." Rick said. "And honestly, you look worse. At least he looks like he got some sleep." He said to Reagan.
"Hey guys." Natsu started.
"What? Is something wrong?" Rei asked.
"Who the heck is that?" Natsu said, pointing to the teen with spiky brown hair.
"Oh, Sena! You're helmet!" Kurita said.
"Sena? That's your real name?" Morty asked.
Bullets were suddenly shot at Kurita's feet, causing him to hop around, frantically trying to avoid the bullets.
"Uh….." Sena started.
"We can clearly see the helmet man." Duncan said, referring to the helmet that was next to Sena on his bed.
Hiruma then shot at Sena next, causing him and others to have to duck the bullets.
"I GAVE YOU THE HELMET TO PUT IT ON!" Hiruma shouted at Sena.
"I was sleep! I'm sorry!" Sena said.
"Well, so much for keeping that identity secret." Lucy said. "Why did you choose to keep that secret anyway?"
"Forget it. It doesn't matter anyway." Hiruma said.
***Confessional***
Hiruma(Radical Rats):
"In our games, Sena has always gone by Eyeshield or Eyeshield 21 and never by his real name. Originally, it was to prevent any of the other clubs from trying to take him. Oddly enough, I discovered his potential as a running back when he was trying to escape from some guys that were bullying him. After seeing that, I had to at least make an attempt to get him to join the club. After he did, I decided to hide his identity. For one, it was to keep the fact he was on the team away from the would-be manajerk. She'd try to get him to stop playing if she ever found out. And second, If any of the other clubs ever discovered it was him, they'd want him for themselves. I get it, it's selfish. But with how the school refused to even try to provide funding for the football club after Kurita asked, it had to be done. And, at the very least, he learned to stand up for himself without her help and got stronger, in a physical and figurative sense."
"How did we get the school to fund it?" He then laughed before pulling out a purple book that had "Devil's Handbook" written on it in yellow. "Blackmail." He puts the book away.
"Of course, his alias was also used as an intimidation factor or bait to rile up opponents before the games. Most people, except for Shin and some others, can be pi[censored]ed off by these tactics in one way or another, which causes them to make mistakes. Although everyone at the school knows who Eyeshield is now, as he decided to reveal himself, it doesn't make his name any less terrifying in the high school football scene in Japan. Although some of my plans for him are out the window, there's always others I can use regardless if his identity's revealed or not. There's a reason he's called the Lightspeed Running Back. And I have a feeling you might find out why in this challenge."
***End Confessional***
"Wait a sec, weren't you knocked out by the gas? How could you have given him the helmet?" Adrien asked.
"Actually, he wasn't. He had a gas mask. No idea where he got it from, or how he was prepared for it, when literally no warning was given, but he was. Had to knock him out from a distance." Doyle said.
"At least Sebastian makes sense since he's always awake. Hiruma? I honestly don't know." Heloise said.
"I'm with you on that one Hiruma. Gotta stay prepared for the apocalypse man! It could happen at any time!" Shawn said.
"I'm not exactly sure that he was preparing for the apocalypse. But regardless, to have that on hand and be prepared is never a bad thing. And honestly, it's pretty impressive." Jasmine said.
***Confessional***
Becky F.(Radical Rats):
"At first, I thought Hiruma was just going to be some crazy guy with guns. Well, he still is, but to be prepared like that, I have to agree with Jasmine. It's impressive, but also surprising for someone like him. And I thought Rally was someone that was almost always prepared for the worst. He was more prepared than her. Just goes to show that you can't judge a book by its cover."
***End Confessional***
A helicopter was seen above everyone. Chef was in it along with someone else that had ginger hair, glasses and wore a blue t-shirt that had a burger on it. He suddenly jumped out of the helicopter.
"What the-" Chef said, surprised, and unable to stop him since he was the one flying the helicopter.
Said person was rolling in the air as if he was a ball before landing on his feet.
Several people including Jasmine, Akko, Zee, Mona and Luz clapped.
The second he bowed, he fell face-first into the ground.
"Just when you think he's worthy of being given props to, he does that. Nice job." Duncan said.
"You jumped out a helicopter without a parachute from that far up. What did you think was going to happen?" Noah asked.
"We'll give him a few minutes." Chris said.
A few minutes later
"Alright! You may be wondering why you three were woken up last. And why you're back here on the first island you guys came back here on." Chris said.
"Is it because of the obstacle course behind you?" Dan asked.
"What?" Chris turned around before seeing the course.
"Darn it! I specifically said for it to be covered!" Chris said.
"Sorry. Forgot." Heloise said.
***Confessional***
Heloise:
"Actually, I lied. I purposely left it uncovered. Just because he hired me doesn't mean he's safe from me messing with him too. I mess with Lucius all the time." She said, shrugging.
***End Confessional***
"Well, so much for keeping that a surprise." Chris said.
"I mean, we can see it clear as day. I'm just surprised no one brought it up sooner." Emma said.
"Anyways, for you newbies and veterans that have never seen him before, this is Harold! A seasoned veteran of previous Total Drama seasons, including its first multiverse-based season, Multiverse Edition!" Chris announced.
"And a guy with mad skills!" Harold said.
"Keep telling that to yourself dude." Duncan said.
"Well, how about I show you!" Harold said before performing a triple kick that Duncan ducked before Harold, who was behind him, tripped him up.
"Ha! What do you think of that?" Harold said.
"Lucky shot." Duncan said, on the ground before getting back up.
"Who else wants to see some of my mad skills? As taught by the Saikyo Master himself, Dan Hibiki!" Harold said, which caused Karin to laugh.
"You got lessons from him of all people? I'd hardly call his Saikyo style martial arts." She said to Harold.
"And you're pathetic for actually losing to that." Karin said to Duncan.
"What?" Duncan and Harold said simultaneously.
"Considering who was here earlier, I'd say he at least got some type of benefit from going to his classes, compared to the scam that the other guy probably runs." Noah said.
"Oh I did! And thanks to the coupon he gave me, I got a discount!" Harold said.
"Oh yeah, those things! I totally forgot about those!" Owen said, pulling out his coupon from his pocket, which was all crumpled up.
"You still have yours? I threw that out." Noah said.
"Yeah! Wonder if it's still good. Wouldn't want it to go to waste." Owen said, looking at it. Because of how crumpled up it was, it was hard to tell if there was even an expiration date on it.
"The only wasting done around here was from Dan for even using paper to make those." Karin said.
"Too bad all the martial arts in the world couldn't take the loser out of you." Duncan said.
"Coupon huh? Mind if I see that?" Randy asked.
"Sure." Owen said before handing him the coupon.
"This coupon is good for 20% off for five weeks of lessons at the Saikyo Dojo." Randy said.
"Five weeks? That's it? What did you learn from him?" Randy asked.
"Three signature moves along with the basics! And since I already had a fairly decent understanding of martial arts, I was able to advance to the basics in a matter of less than a week!" Harold said.
"Depending on how much you learned, you might have gotten scammed dude." Randy said.
"Oh trust me, I learned a lot as you can see by how I defeated Duncan!" Harold said proudly.
"You call that beating me? I already told you it was a lucky hit." Duncan said.
"Seems like he beat you from here." Louie said.
"How? I didn't even know we were fighting!" Duncan said. "Can you even call that a fight?"
"Well, you dodged one of his attempts to hit you, so yeah, I'd guess so." Zak S. said.
"Come on dude, it's not healthy to deny it." Randy said to Duncan.
"You know what? Forget it." Duncan said. "Start explaining the challenge Chris!"

Randy(Wave Breakers):
"I really don't see what's the big deal. Just take the- ohhhhhhhh. Now it makes sense."
***End Confessional***
"Actually, I'm not going to be explaining the challenge, Harold is!" Chris said.
"That's right everyone!" Harold said before clearing his throat.
"For today, your first part of this challenge will be to partake in this obstacle course! A course I like to call, the 'Mad Skills Obstacle Course'!" Harold said.
"Wasn't that already a course though? This looks different." Cameron asked.
"I have no idea what you course you speak of. For this is the first course in Total Drama history to be named this. And rightfully so." Harold said.
"Actually, Cameron's right. There was a course called the 'Mad Skills Obstacle Course' after the Truth or Laser Shark part of the challenge for that day." Zoey said.
"Quiet! And let Harold explain the challenge!" Chris said.
"But-" Dawn said.
"QUIET!" Harold said, megaphone in hand. "Thanks." He said to Chris, before handing the megaphone back to him.
***Confessional***
Chris McLean:
"Yeah, there actually was a Mad Skills Obstacle Course back in Revenge of the Island. But Harold has no idea that course even existed. I figured he'd be a lot more enthusiastic about coming here if he thought he had his own obstacle course inspired by him. So yeah, I lied to him."
***End Confessional***
"Now then, the nine of you have been specially chosen to test your skills on this course. Are you worthy enough to get through to the end? From eating through a large pancake, to having to masterfully deflect ninja stars with your sword, after you're done, you're going to wish every course was like this one. And you know why?" Harold asked.
"Because it's challenging?" Scott guessed.
"Close, but not exactly! It'll be because the feeling you'll get when you complete will be unlike anything you've ever felt, or will ever feel, in any other obstacle course! Every other course will be child's play!" Harold said.
"Child's play huh? Can you even do this course yourself?" Heather asked.
"Of course I could! It is named after me after all. But, if I did, I'd be showing you the secrets to getting through. Sorry Heather, but you'll have to get through this on your own. I know not being able to do things easy is hard for you to stomach." Harold said.
"Excuse me? I'm fully capable of doing challenging things thank you very much! Did you not see me win World Tour?" Heather said.
"No one cares about you winning that season. It was just a case of lesser of two evils." Courtney said.
"Says the person that's never won a season, nor has ever even sniffed the final two." Heather said.
"Because winning a season being a backstabber is something to be so proud of." Courtney said sarcastically.
"Like using lawyers to basically cheat your way through a season is something to be proud of either? I don't condone what Heather did but that's kinda pathetic if you ask me. I get it, Harold rigged the votes, but to have the challenges be changed to your favor for the season? Really?" Emma said.
"And who are you supposed to be? You've never even been in a season outside of….. whatever that season was with the other guy and you're calling me pathetic? Try getting some experience in a real season first." Courtney said, putting her finger in Emma's chest.
"Last time I checked, Ridonculous Race was a real season with real winnings." Emma said, doing the same thing in return,
"Winnings that you didn't win." Courtney said.
"So I guess that means were on the same boat then." Emma said.
"I guess so." Courtney said as both were frowning at one another.
"Noah, aren't you going to do something?" Owen asked, low.
"Nah. Not because I don't want to. But because I'm confident she can handle this on her own." Noah said.
***Confessional***
Noah(Radical Rats):
"Are we a team? Yes. But that doesn't mean I have to step in and save the day like some prince in a fairy tale. She's a big reason why I wanted to at least try to be able to fend for myself better in these challenges too if I was going to come back for another season. I'm not saying I have to be Tyler, but it can be passable enough for me to not be a liability and get booted. If someone like Kurita and Dan Hibiki can do well, and yes, I get it, Kurita's a football player, but still, I should be able to at least do decent."
***End Confessional***
"I can see you two are already eager to test your mad skills against one another. I won't stop you. Chris, you are free to start the challenge." Harold said.
"Awesome!" Chris said.
"Seriously? No food? I'm starving here." Natsu said.
"Nope! But we've got something even better for you guys! Just as good as breakfast with a side of coffee to help wake you guys up." Chris said.
"Something tells me, it's not going to be better." Reimu said.
"What makes you say that?" Razer asked.
"I've only been on this show for a season, but from that, and from how others talk about Chris, what's better for us to him is actually worse for us." Reimu said.
"I see." Razer said.
"Razer, what's going on with the 3D look? It honestly looks sick." Zee said.
"3D look? What do you mean?" Razer asked.
"3D glasses? Red and blue?" Ben said, seeing if that helped ring any bells.
"He means the ones from the movies. Do not worry. I was confused myself until I was taken to one of them." Rook said.
"Three-dimensional movie glasses? I still don't understand." Razer said.
"Look, don't worry about it. As long as you can help us win, that's all that matters." Courtney said.
"This will be a 3-member team race! You'll all need to cross the finish line to win! So no, you can't just sit back and have one team member do everything! You need to cross too for your team to have a shot at winning!" Chris said.
"Just letting you know now, this isn't really my thing. So if I mess up… well….. I tried. That's about all I got to be honest." Reagan said to Dwayne and Launch.
"Well, as long as you give it your best, there's nothing to really be upset about is there?" Launch said.
"Just glad that we don't have to go in the planes today." Dwayne said. "Still doesn't mean I want to lose."
"Oh yeah. Forgot about that. I can definitely see why Kagami wanted to win so bad yesterday." Reagan said.
"Speaking of that, one more thing! No abilities, tools, or items, other than the ones you're given on the course are allowed in this race! Break these rules and you're out of the race! And because you need all three members to cross the finish line to have a chance at winning, breaking this rule will put your team in danger of losing, so keep that in mind!" Chris said.
"That's right! The only thing you're allowed to use in this race is your mad skills! Capiche?" Harold said.
***Confessional***
Emma(Radical Rats):
"Well that's a relief. That takes flying out of the question for Razer and Reimu. But, it also takes Sena's running out of the question too. I'm sure he can still go pretty fast, but that speed I saw in the race when we first got here at the end, I'm willing to bet that's gonna be a no go. But it makes sense. The obstacle course would be way too easy if you could just speed through it like that."
***End Confessional***
***Confessional***
Razer(Storm Kings):
"So for this challenge, abilities aren't allowed. I'm pretty sure it isn't breaking the rules if I keep one or both of the rings on as I'll need at least one to understand what my teammates are saying. I'll just have to make sure I don't subconsciously use any constructs or abilities on reflex."
***End Confessional***
Razer takes off his red ring. His outfit changed somewhat. His Blue Lantern uniform had a robe-like asthetic, that was blue and black. A blue hood was over his head. Also, unlike before, the symbol emblazoned on his chest was only the Blue Lantern symbol.
"What are you doing?" Courtney asked.
"Just to be safe, I'm taking off one of the rings." Razer said. "I don't want to accidentally use an ability on reflex to protect myself and ruin our chances of winning."
"So why not take off both?" Reimu asked.
"My language is different from yours. The only reason you all can understand me now is because of the fact that I'm wearing at least one ring. Every power ring comes with the ability to translate the language of the wielder to a language that natives, should their language not be the same, understand." Razer said.
"So in other words, you're keeping one on just so you can understand what everyone else is saying and so we can understand you." Courtney said.
"Yes." Razer said before taking off his other ring just to show her. Without the rings, he wore a brown tunic with similarly colored gauntlets and boots along with headgear.
He started to speak in a language that no one can understand.
"Hey Rook, can you understand this?" Ben asked.
"Unfortunately I cannot." Rook said.
Razer puts back on the blue ring.
"Judging by your faces, I can tell the outcome of me doing this was just as I thought it was going to be. I'll just have to do my best and make sure I don't use any abilities from the blue ring." Razer said.
***Confessional***
Razer(Storm Kings):
"If you're wondering what I said to them, it was: Good luck everyone. I hope we can all try our best to achieve victory."
***End Confessional***
"Now then, just to help you out, I'll explain each part of this uber challenging obstacle course!" Harold said.
"First, after getting to a running start on the docks, you'll have to scale up this wall with those ropes." Harold said, referring to the wall that was placed at the other end of the dock. The bottom part of it, which held it up, like the rest of the course, was in the water.
"Then, once you climb up, see how low you can go by ducking the flaming hot hot sauce being shot at you!" Not long after climbing the ropes, several automatic turrets that were set to shoot hot sauce as soon as anyone got close enough, was seen. "If you can't go low enough, then good luck getting through the rest of this course, because it'll be super hard to see!"
"But watch out, ninjas are gonna ambush you! Your only chance of getting out alive is to grab a sword and block the shuriken as you move along! Don't and you'll be in a world of trouble, if you even get out alive." A pile of wooden swords were seen, but the ninjas that Harold spoke of were nowhere to be found.
"Then, for your fourth test, you'll need to swing across one of those ropes and for your reward for bravely getting this far, is some mega pancakes man! With some mega syrup to go along with it! A tasty way to replenish your energy for the final part of the course!" After the shuriken blocking area, there was a basket for the swords to go into. Ahead of that was a gap in the course with 3 ropes hanging overhead of the water. Right after the ropes was three stacks of pancakes on three giant plates.
"And of course, for your final test, this should be one you in particular are familiar with Rally. For it was here, that I met my unfortunate demise in that season." Harold said. "You'll need to get to the finish on a motorcycle, avoiding deadly explosives shot at you by the bounty hunter Doyle that's out for your head!"
"Not literally. Just throwin' that out there." Doyle said.
"So what are you going to do, miss on purpose?" Zak M. asked.
"Look, it's complicated. Just know that no one's going to die. At least, there won't be any deaths that I'm responsible for." Doyle said.
"Because that's definitely supposed to be reassuring." Emma said sarcastically.
"Well, at least he's being honest." Reagan said with some of the other 8 looking at her with confused and/or surprised looks from her reaction. "What? I mean there's eels below where the rope swing section is. Something that was conveniently left out. Unless that was Doyle's idea, who do you think came up with it?"
"Oh yeah. Totally forgot. You might not want to go in the water, or you'll definitely be getting a shocking sensation that'll a hundred percent sure wake you up!" Chris said.
"And possibly kill us!" Courtney said.
"Sucks I won't be able to use my equipment here. I should have something to take care of that problem." Dwayne said.
"Then what exactly was the point of bringing it up?" Reagan asked.
"You know what? Fair. But still, that's not gonna stop me from getting through this course." Dwayne said.
"Hey Chris, got a question." Zee said.
"What's up?" Chris asked.
"So are we gonna have something to eat those pancakes with?" Zee asked.
"Honestly, I thought you were going to say something dumb, but that is a fair question." Reagan said.
"Yeah! You've already got it!" Chris said.
"Cool! What is it?" Zee asked.
"Hint: It's on your face!" Chris said.
"Ohhh! Got ya." Zee said. "So, is it a yes or a no to us getting like forks and knives and stuff?" He added.
"It's a no Zee." Chris said.
"Bummer. Still gonna be delicious though." Zee said.
"If you can even get to that part. You've still got other parts of the course you need to get through to even get there." Chris said.
"Any further questions?"
Razer raised a hand.
"Yes?"
"How exactly did you find food that large?" Razer asked.
"Easy! I didn't! I just got regular sized pancakes and increased the size with the Resizer Ray! A tool I kept from Multiverse Edition and decided to bring it back out again for the first time since then for this particular challenge!" Chris said.
"I see."
"Heh. He looks about as clueless about all of this as you do sometimes Rook." Ben said to his partner.
"Considering that he is not from here, I would say his questioning of things around here is natural." Rook said.
"Speaking of which….." Ben said before attempting to scan Razer.
"Not sure if he can do anything, but hey, it's another scan." Ben said.
"If you don't mind me asking, why are you scanning him?" Isagi asked.
"Scanning adds DNA to the omnitrix. Because Razer is an alien, there is a chance that his DNA may not be included in the codon stream." Rook explained.
"You forgot the actual cool part. I could actually turn into him if I wanted." Ben said before seeing that he had 2 scans instead of 1.
"Huh. Wonder what the other one was?" Ben said, before seeing who else was scanned. It was Shiro.
"Shiro? That doesn't make any sense." Ben said as he continued to look at his watch.
"So that only works for aliens?" Isagi asked.
"Yep. So no, I wouldn't be able to scan you guys and suddenly get any abilities you guys have, like Kagami's crazy jumps or Marinette's powers since they're not aliens." Ben said. "Which if the omnitrix scanned Shiro, then that means he must be an alien himself."
"What about Razer's rings?" Isagi asked.
"You know what? I didn't think of that. Let's find out!" Ben said, before selecting the face on the watch that looked like Razer's face. His skin had suddenly become blue with thin black lines lining his cheeks and chin with thick black lines around his eyes. His hair was also white like Razer's. Unlike Razer's tunic, his was black and green.
"All right!" Ben said, looking at himself before trying to experiment to see if there were any special abilties.
"Let's see…." He tried throwing his hands out as if he was preparing to perform an energy blast. Nothing. He tried throwing out a few punches and kicks, which were a lot more impressive than he thought they were going to be. But there was nothing from them that truly had "wow factor". However, when he reached behind him, weapons suddenly appeared in his hands. Shuriken-like weapons and a katana.
"Are you serious!? I have weapons!?" Ben said.
"I suppose you consider that boring for your tastes." Razer said, noticing that he took on the form of Volkriegian.
"Boring? Are you kidding? To be able to just have weapons like this whenever I want is awesome!" Ben said.
Razer simply looked at Rook with a confused face.
"If he is excited about this, it means he likes the form." Rook said.
"Right." Razer said, unsure how to react to being told something like that.
***Confessional***
Razer(Storm Kings):
"What he considers 'awesome', I consider necessary. Even during my time as solely a Blue Lantern, I still felt it necessary to have these tools with me. Naturally, travelling across the multiverse, not everyone will instantly welcome outsiders with open arms. And understandably so. In the event that I lost power for either ring, or in this case, both, having these weapons will ensure that I'm not defenseless."
***End Confessional***
"Almost forgot! Before you guys start, you're going to need these!" Harold said before handing Razer a pair of glasses that looked like his.
"No thank you. My eyesight is perfectly fine." Razer said.
"Actually, you're going to have to wear them." Chris said.
"Why? There's no need." Razer said.
"Because it's part of the challenge. And because if you don't, you're out of the challenge." Chris said.
"Okay then." Razer said, before putting the glasses on. Things looked pretty blurry for him with the glasses.
"Chris, these are actually making my vision worse." Razer said.
"Too bad. You're going to have to keep them on." Chris said.
"What? He just said they made his vision worse." Reagan said.
"Yeah, I heard him. I just don't care. How many times do I have to say it's a part of the challenge? You can't say you have mad skills without looking the part too." Chris said.
"That's right!" Harold said.
Razer could only sigh.
Harold gave the other eight glasses too.
"Hey! Peewee!" Hiruma called out. Sena turned.
"How many fingers am I holding up?" Hiruma asked, holding up three fingers.
"Two? Three?" Sena guessed, not a hundred percent sure. He wasn't completely blind, but things were pretty muddy. Hiruma widened the gap between the fingers he was holding up.
"Three!" Sena said.
"Well, at least he hasn't completely lost his vision." Mamori said.
"Do you think he'll be alright wearing those?" Kurita asked.
"Of course he'll be alright!" Monta said.
"I'm glad he can still somewhat see. But because we can't use equipment, what Bennett and Cicini made can't be used either to help communicate with him." Mamori thought.
"Okay everyone! If you aren't already there! I need everyone to line up in front of the dock!" Chris instructed.
With a lot of difficulty, everyone lined up at the docks.
"With how this going right now, no one's going to be able to complete this. We can barely see!" Reimu said.
"Well, I've got one thing to say to that. Figure it out!" Chris said.
Chris suddenly blew an airhorn which scared all of them before shouting out "GO!"
Razer and Sena got off to early starts with Launch and Zee being second-to-last and last respectively. Though Zee was only last because he was taking things slow while Launch was trying to frantically look around. Though Emma and Courtney weren't exactly faring any better themselves.
"Get out of the way!" Courtney said.
"No you move!" Emma said.
Both ended up pushing each other down, with Zee slowly walking past the two, meaning that those two were last.
Dwayne, Reimu, Razer and Sena all got to the rope climbing first, but Dwayne completely misses the wall and fell into the water, getting shocked by the electric eels. Reagan gets to the wall, but hits it instead.
"Well, look on the bright side. I know where the wall is." Reagan said, still on the ground.
"Looks like Sena, Razer and Reimu are off to a good start! The rest, except for Zee, not so much." Chris said.
Launch's face was in the docks, Courtney and Emma just couldn't get out of each other's way and Dwayne was desperately trying to get out of the water to make the suffering end.
"Looks like Zee's taking things slow. An interesting approach. Not sure if it'll guarantee his team a win though." Chris said.
"Everyone has different variants of mad skills. Perhaps one of Zee's is his patience. Even some of the greatest martial artists and warriors have this trait." Harold said.
"If Sena can go faster why can't he?" Natsu asked.
"Actually, I think he's doing pretty well." Kuroko said.
"What? You can't be serious! Look at how slow he's going!" Natsu said. "And stop just showing up out nowhere like that!"
"Gonna be honest, I think Zee's got the right idea." Sanders said.
"What!? Why?" MacArthur asked.
"Take a look at the others. Launch doesn't look like she knows where she's going." Sanders said as Launch went right into Courtney.
"Go forward Launch!" Myron called out, which only caused her to knock over Emma just as she was about to get to the rope.
"Dwayne….." Sanders started as he slowly crawled on the beach as his glasses were hanging off his face and some of his clothes had burn marks on them.
"Yeah." Sanders said.
"And sure, Reagan Courtney and Emma are doing okay, but they were already off to bad starts. Reagan is climbing the wall on the other side of the rope." Sanders said as Reagan was climbing up, but her back was facing the wall, instead of it being the other way around like it should have been.
Razer was the first to finish the climb as Sena was starting to lose his grip a little on the rope and was starting to panic.
"Sena! It's okay! You're almost there!" Mamori called out.
"She's right. I just have to calm down." Sena thought before taking a deep breath.
"Going fast isn't the key here. I have to take it a little slower." He thought before climbing up to the top, second with Reimu being behind him at third.
"Razer gets to the top first! And now he must go under and avoid the flying hot sauce! So hot, it might actually burn your skin a little!" Chris said.
"Wait, what!?" Rally said.
Sena stopped right in front of Reimu, something that she wasn't expecting, which caused him to fall over where the hot sauce was shooting, and got hit by multiple shots of it from the automatic turrets that was shooting them. The stinging sensation caused him to start to lose self-control and frantically try to run across, frantically going through the section where the ninja stars were, which was only possibly due to his speed. But that was where things would come to a shocking end for him. Literally. He missed the rope he needed to grab and fell in the water, getting shocked by the electric eels as he yelled out in pain from the shocks.
"You know what? I'm actually kinda glad I don't have to do this." Tangle said. "I still hope Sena and Dwayne are okay."
"How hot is that hot sauce exactly?" Becky F. asked.
"Simple answer: Too hot." Becky B. said.
Ding! Ding!
"A song? Really!?" Reagan said, trying to stay focused and keep low, crawling to avoid the hot sauce shots above her.
Sonic R: Can You Feel the Sunshine Composed and Written by Richard Jacques and performed by TJ Davis Plays
*Short Instrumental Beginning section starts*
"Hey, you guys ever wonder how we can all hear when it's time for a song? Where does that even come from?" Zee asked.
"Here's a little song to help pick you guys up for the day! Hopefully, this'll put you in the spirits to keep going! And for those already in pain like Sena and Dwayne, hopefully this'll make you guys feel better too!" Chris said.
"Thanks." Dwayne said, slowly getting back to where the docks were, but having a really hard time doing so.
Razer: Can you see?
Sena: The sun is shinin' on me. *Another yell was heard from him as he tried to swim and get out of the water*
Reimu: It makes me feel so free,
Dwayne: so alive!
Launch: *As she finally gets to climbing the rope* It makes me want to survive!
Reagan: *Right before finishing crawling under the hot sauce shots, being third behind Razer and Reimu* And the sky,
Courtney: it makes me feel so high,
Zee: *Slowly crawling under the shots, though he was still well behind the leaders*The bad times pass me by
Emma: 'cause today
Sena: *After finally getting out of the water* is gonna be a brighter day!
Razer: *He grabs a sword and blocks most of the shuriken shot at him from pop up ninjas. The stars came out from slots in the middle of them* Can you feel the sunshine?
Reagan: Does it brighten up your day?
Reimu: Don't you feel that sometimes
Courtney and Emma: *Both ducking under the Hot Sauce shots* You just need to run away?
Launch: Reach out for the sunshine *The smell of the hot sauce irritates her nose and she starts to sneeze*
Launch: Forget about the rain
Dwayne: *Slowly, but surely, attempting to climb up the rope* Just think about the good times
Zee: And they will come back again
Razer: Feel the sunshine...
*Short instrumental break*
"Wow. You couldn't even get where they throw the stars right." Noah said.
"His fault. Not mine." Heloise said, pointing to Chris.
"Look, does it matter? They're throwing them. Now quiet! They're about to start again!" Chris said.
Courtney and Emma: *Both blocking the shurikens with their sword, while having to duck each other's errant swings(Thankfully Chris was too cheap to get real swords and instead got wooden ones. The same with the ninja stars). Without you,
Sena: there's nothing for me to do
"Wrong way shrimp!" Hiruma said, kicking Sena as he was walking towards back to where the starting line was.
Reimu: Can you feel the sunshine, too?
Razer and Reimu were the first ones to get to the swinging sections and started eating after Razer landed face first on his pancake while Reimu grabbed hers.
Zee: It's comin' through,
Sena: *Finally back on track and heading towards the wall* it makes me feel brand new
Launch: When you're here, *After blocking the shuriken, she was already getting to the swinging section and started eating. But she was still behind Emma, Courtney, Reagan, Reimu and Razer. However, she had already caught up to Zee.
Reagan:I wish you were always near
Reimu: 'cause everything's so clear
"Heh. Pretty ironic." Huey D. commented.
Dwayne: And today
Zee: is gonna be a brighter day
Razer and Reimu were the first to finish, although Launch was already catching up. The two leaders were already running towards where the motorcycles were.
Launch: Can you feel the sunshine?
Razer: Does it brighten up your day?*Reimu adlib*:(Brighten up your day...)
Courtney: Don't you feel that sometimes
Sena: You just need to run away?
Reagan: Reach out for the sunshine
Dwayne:Forget about the rain
Zee: Just think about the good times
Emma: And they will come back again
"Looks like the two lawyer hopefuls are falling behind simply because of the eating challenge!" Chris said.
"There's no way I should be in the same boat as you! I have a stronger stomach than you!" Courtney said.
"Well, it looks like it's not helping you here is it?" Emma remarked.
Courtney: When the sun goes down
Reagan: *After eating enough of the pancake to make a path for herself, she goes through to try and run to the motorcycles*I feel like I am waiting
Reimu:For another day
Razer: When the clouds go away
Razer and Reimu were already at the bikes with Razer being the first to get on. Though the two had trouble figuring out exactly how to start them, giving Launch the chance to catch up.
"Start the bikes already! What are you guys doing!?" Zak S. called out.
Launch: Can you feel it?
Dwayne: *Deflecting ninja stars*Ooh-hoo...
Courtney: *Trying to catch up to Reagan* Can you feel it?
Reagan: Oh...
Razer was the first to figure out how to start the bike and got moving, but not before attempting to try and help Reimu with the limited vision he had.
Razer: Can you feel it?
Reimu: Oh...
Emma: *Being the second to last out of the group to finish, with Zee being the last* Can you feel it?
Launch, Reimu and Razer were all on motorcycles as Doyle tried to shoot them and knock them off.
Doyle:Can you feel the sunshine?
Reagan: *Starts a motorcycle and begins to get moving to try and catch up to the others* Does it brighten up your day? Courtney: (Brighten up your day...)
Sena: *After his awful attempt at blocking the ninja stars, gets to the swinging section, only to swing himself to far and over the pancakes, knocking over multiple motorcycles as he fell* Don't you feel that sometimes
Zee: *Starts a motorcycle*We just need to run away?
Dwayne: *Running to where the motorcycles were only to trip over one of the motorcycles that Sena knocked over and fell back into the water, getting shocked again*Reach out for the sunshine
Launch: Forget about the rain
Courtney and Reagan: Just think about the good times
Emma: *As she was doing a wheelie, catching up to the others at a speed that caught several people, including Doyle and Noah off guard* And they will come back again
*Final piano, percussion bridge before the song ends*
"This is it! Launch, Razer and Reimu look like they're going to be the first three to finish, but it looks like Emma might have something to say about that! Let's hope she doesn't lose control!" Chris said.
She went too far upwards and started to fall over on the bike.
"Ooh! So close!" Chris said.
"Good thing she's not on the road, or that would have been some serious road rash!" Chef said.
"And it looks like Launch will finish first in an amazing comeback! Razer comes in at second, and Reimu comes in at third!" Chris said.
"That's great and all but how are we supposed to get back?" Reimu asked.
"I suppose we'll have to fly there." Razer said, taking off the glasses. Razer carried Launch while Reimu flew back by herself.
"Launch! You've definitely got some mad skills! You two too! But Launch has the maddest skills out of them all! Why? Not because you finished first, but because you never gave up!" Harold said, congratulating the three. Glasses were thrown at Harold. The source: Launch.
"Whatever. I'm just glad I don't have to wear those stupid glasses anymore." She said as Reagan approached to get fourth with Courtney and Emma coming in at a very close fifth and sixth, with Emma coming in at sixth on foot. The sand flying caused Launch to sneeze again.
Zee finished at a slowly paced seventh.
"All right! Did we win?" Zee asked.
"Actually, no. The Storm Kings are first! Reimu, Razer and Courtney all crossed the finish line, even with Launch being the overall winner of this race!" Chris said.
"Ha! What was that about me not being able to hold my own in challenges?" Courtney said to Emma, gloating.
"Ugh." Was all Emma had to say before rolling her eyes.

"Looks like we're waiting on Sena and Dwayne now! Let's see who'll get to the finish first!" Chris said.
"Considering Dwayne has to start the course over again, I'd say the winner's pretty much decided out of these two at this point." Heloise said.
About a minute passed, and it was Sena that ran across the finish line first, after frantically dodging Doyle's fire with his speed(though again, it wasn't his full super speed as that wasn't allowed).
"And Sena seals second place for the Rats! Dwayne! Just come back to the start dude. There's no point even trying again." Chris said.
As soon as he did, he was about to say something but fell to the ground.
"Check his pulse!" Bakura said.
Mamori went to check on him.
"He's fine." Mamori said.
"You can't be serious. The Kings won again!?" Kageyama and Kagami said simultaneously.
"Didn't I tell you yesterday to stop copying me?" Kageyama said to Kagami.
"I'm not copying anything!" Kagami said.
"Well it sounds like you definitely are!" Kageyama said.
"Maybe we're just that good." Courtney said, arrogantly.
"Don't flatter yourself." Rally said, trying her hardest to not roll her eyes at Courtney said.
"We won the challenge didn't we? That's first class for three challenges in a row. What other evidence do you need?" Courtney said.
"Say that again when you're not being carried by those two." Duncan said, referring to Razer and Reimu.
"Considering no one was allowed to use their abilities, I'd say your point is invalidated." Midorima said to Duncan.
"And I'd say most of yours are when you walk around wearing Tiger Masks because a horoscope said so. What have you got today? A clown mask? Because it definitely suits you." Duncan said.
"Actually, my lucky item for the day is a pack of carrots." Midorima said.
"Okay? Still doesn't make it any better." Duncan said. "What are you going to do, just not eat the carrots?"
"Of course not you fool. That ruins the point of having them as my lucky item." Midorima said.
"So, hypothetically speaking, if you had to get s[censored] as a lucky item would you do it?" Rick asked.
"What?" Midorima said, confusion on his face.
"What? I mean you're fine with having all of that other s[censored] it sems, so why not?" Rick said.
"In what world would that ever happen?" Dan asked. "I don't even do horoscopes and even I know that's stupid."
"Just like wearing masks because of a dumba[censored] horoscope is stupid. Like what the f[censored] is that s[censored] going to actually do? It's a waste of time. It's just more superstitious bulls[censored], and it makes you and anyone else that really believes in that s[censored] that seriously, look like a dumba[censored]." Rick said. "And don't give me that superpower bulls[censored] either Mona. That's stupid too. Kagami can jump but he doesn't need those items. Lucy can summon spirits, but she doesn't need that s[censored] either. How about you make your luck, and stop relying on stupid f[censored]ing items to make it for you. Either you're good or not. It's that f[censored]ing simple." Rick said to Midorima ,everything except for the bit where he was specifically talking to Mona.
"Damn. Looks like you've got nothing to say to that huh Shintaro?" Haizaki said.
"Shut your mouth you disgraceful delinquent." Midorima said to Haizaki. He turns to Rick.
"And as for you, if that's all you have to say, then you know less about me than you think you do. The time will arrive when I will show you exactly what I mean. But, today does not seem to be that day." Midorima said to him.
"Well, maybe you'll get that opportunity today, because you guys didn't win." Chris said.
"What? But we crossed the finish line first!" Courtney protested.
"Yeah, you did. But you didn't win the challenge. This is only the first part of the challenge!" Chris said.
"First part? So there's more?" Akko asked.
"'This is only the first part of the challenge'. What do you think? Seriously, do you even think before you ask this stuff?" Sucy said to Akko.
"That's what I say to these two all the time." Tsukishima said.
"Keep up those smart remarks and you won't be saying anything for a while." Kageyama said, cracking his knuckles.
"Quiet! You can bicker later." Chris started. "Right now, I've got to explain the rest of today's challenge! What you just experienced was the first race of: the Total….. Drama….. Gran Prix!" Chris announced as the camera panned out.
Kurt's eyes widened for a bit after hearing this, intrigued by the challenge, being a racer himself.
"So a racing challenge huh? Sign me up!" Diego said.
"Same here! I'm psyched!" Kaz said.
"Glad to hear you're excited for it! Now then, the basics of this tournament is simple: Each team will race in various ways. The format will be the same as here. Though there will be one thing that's different. Each race will still have nine competitors, three from each team. But, unlike this one, where it was randomly chosen beforehand, you'll have the option of choosing who races in each event. But be careful! Once you choose a racer for that particular event you cannot choose them again! So choose your racers wisely! However, the overall winner of each event stays in and will race in the next race, representing their team as one of the three racers. So, since Launch won, she automatically gets to participate in the next race!" Chris explained.
"So where exactly will these races be? I'm guessing we'll be using cars, right?" Kurt asked.
"It all depends on the event. Don't worry though, you won't be going in completely blind. You'll be told beforehand what type of transportation will be used or allowed to be used to help you pick who'll race. But that's all you'll get. You'll have no clue as to what the race itself holds in store for you! Because that would spoil the fun!" Chris said.
"As for the Kings, at the very least, you won the introductory race! So, that does count for something! You've been awarded 2 points! Rats! Since you placed second, you'll be given 1. Breakers! Last place! No points!" Chris announced.
"The rest of this tournament will be 9 races. At the end of it all, whoever has the most points after the end of these 9 races wins the tournament and the challenge along with a prize and access to first class! Get last place, and you're going to have to send someone home. Got it?"
A portal opened. A car appeared. Afterwards, a man with brown skin and hair in a ponytail style with some parts of the top parted got out of it. He wore a light brown/orange racing uniform that had the number 22 on it.
"Greetings." He said before seeing a familiar face.
"Kadeem?" Kurt said.
"Kurt! You're the last person I expected to be on a show like this." Kadeem said, going over to him and offering his hand to shake. Kurt took it and they shook.
"Well, believe it or not, Vert was here too at one point." Kurt said.
"Heh. Now that I believe." Kadeem said.
"You know Vert? How's he doing?" Yang asked.
"Yeah, I know him. We're on the same racing team. Last I heard from him, he was doing fine." Kurt said.
"So you're on a racing team too? What's it called?" Kaz asked.
"Teku." Kurt said. "And before you ask, I'm not the leader of it. Neither is Vert." He said.
"Ah yes. Racing teams. I still remember the World Race like it was yesterday. Though at that time, Kurt here was the leader of his own team, the Street Breed." Kadeem said.
"What happened to the team? Why'd you disband it?" Kaz asked Kurt.
"All of the teams got that way. After the World Race, we pretty much all went our separate ways. Wasn't anything bad that happened. Though Tezla not allowing us to go back through Highway 35 and not even giving us Nitrox boosters anymore didn't exactly help make a case for us to keep racing together either. Sometimes we'll see each other from time to time. Or in the case of Vert and I, raced on the same team. Or Kadeem here." Kurt said.
"I already know what you're about to ask. No, I was not on the same team as Vert and Kurt. When I raced in the World Race, I led my own team, the Dune Rats." Kadeem said. "But enough going down memory lane, it's time I explained why I'm here. As Kurt revealed already, my name is Kadeem. Chris has probably already explained to you what the racing competition is going to be like. But, before the race starts, you'll need vehicles that can handle the race." Kadeem said. "I'm assuming you all have chosen your racers?"
"Actually, we haven't." Ben said.
"I see. Well then, you may want to do so now." Kadeem said.
"In this race, motorcycles, cars, SUVs, trucks, and most other standard road vehicles are allowed! However, anything like tanks are not allowed! Flying, unless it's done in a vehicle, and things such as running, and roller skating are also not allowed for this race! Running isn't allowed either, but that should have been a no-brainer since skating wasn't allowed. Also, if you're using a car, I definitely recommend that you get someone that knows how to drive. Using Mario Kart as experience might not be enough for this challenge. Just letting you know now." Chris said.
"Got a question." Rex said.
"Yep?"
"So would this work?" Rex said before forming an orange hover motorbike out of his lower legs called the Rex Ride. A black helmet was over Rex's head.
"Woah! How did you do that?" Kise asked.
"Looks like he can change parts of his body into different things. Like a special type of transformation magic." Natsu said.
"Oh yeah! Like Transformation Spells!" Akko said.
"Take a look at what he just did. Does this look like magic to you?" Albedo said sarcastically.
"Albedo's right. What he just did looks more technology-based. I don't think this is magic." Lotte said.
"Nope! It's not! I can make these builds because of the nanites inside of me." Rex said.
"Nanites? Not sure what those are but they sound painful." Natsu said.
"Trust me, it's not. Even Ben has those inside of him." Rex said.
"Yeah. I was weirded out when I heard that too. Still alive though." Ben said.
"When was this?" Rook asked.
"Oh yeah. I never told you about that did I? It was awesome. Well, not awesome at first since no one knew who I was, and this guy kept calling me an EVO and we had to fight but, still pretty awesome." Ben said.
"I'm guessing being an EVO is a bad thing." Luz said.
"Well, not all the time. I'm an EVO. Even Diddy Kong here's an EVO."
"Don't ever call me that again. You see me shootin' peanuts out of a popgun? These babies are real, authentic laser pistols!" Bobo said, pulling out both of his pistols.
"True. And also, Diddy Kong's not greedy. Or bites people." Rex said.
"I'm not greedy! And I only bit that girl because she called me an 'it'. You wanna know what I am right now? Tired. And hungry." Bobo said.
"Aren't we all?" Reagan said. "Seriously, I think we're all hungry here. And tired." Reagan said.
"To answer your question, yes." Chris said, giving a thumbs up of approval to Rex.
"Nice!" Rex said.
"One more thing. The choosing restrictions counted for this last race too. So, Zee, Emma, Sena, Courtney, Razer, Reimu, Dwayne and Reagan cannot be chosen for any future races for this challenge! That's all! Get to choosing guys!" Chris said.
"Think it's pretty obvious but, I'll take the first race." Kurt said to the rest of his team.
"We should handle our picks for these races by experience. And since there's more freedom for the vehicles used, we should have a wider array of people to choose from for this one." Lanolin said.
"Zero, Axl and I all have experience with ride chasers. Does anyone else have experience in driving?" X asked.
"I do." Rally said.
"Yeah! Rally's a great driver!" May said. "She's obsessed with cars as she is guns!"
"Just like you're obsessed with bombs and explosives." Rally said.
"She may drive like a maniac sometimes, but she's gotten us and others out of a pinch numerous times. She won't let you down." Becky F. said.
"Oh stop it with the flattery you two. The race hasn't even started yet." Rally said.
"Dynacat! You drive!" Hiruma said, which got the attention of the rest of the team.
"What? Are you crazy? Him out of all people?" Rei said.
"Ooh, dynacat. Lovin' the nickname. Now I've gotta come up with one for you. Hmm….." Rocky said.
"After what happened with Kurita, while he fared a lot better than expected, you'll need to explain why Rocky should go." Lanolin said to Hiruma.
"It's a marathon. Not a sprint. Using up all of our best drivers to win one race is not a good strategy." Hiruma said.
"That's actually…. a very good point." Becky B. said.
"The question now is, does Rocky even know how to drive?"
"Who says he has to use a car?" Hiruma said.
"Okay. Well, what do you have in mind?" Lanolin asked.
"You'll see. It all depends on what he allows." Hiruma said.
"Well, from the sounds of things, looks like both teams are using the same strategy we are." Eliza said, listening in on both the Kings and the Breakers, though Miyuki was doing the exact same thing.
"How's it going?" Miyuki said, waving at Eliza with a grin on his face before he posed proudly with his fists on his hips. Though Reimu and Aomine were cracking their knuckles and Hiruma was preparing to point a rifle at him. Kageyama all but dragged him away.
"Come on before you get yourself killed. Dumba[censored]." Kageyama said.
Hiruma pointed the gun back upwards but kept an eye on Miyuki for a bit before turning his attention back to his own team.
"I'm racing." Jotaro said.
"Hey, if you can do whatever that was you did before in the last race I won't complain." Louie said.
"Are you sure? I know you helped us win the last challenge, but don't you think we should let others get an opportunity to be in this challenge?" Isagi asked.
"It's fine. If they want a chance, they'll have to get it in another race." Jotaro said.
"Okay then." Isagi said.
"Alright then. Looks like we have our three." Riley said.
***Confessional***
Hiruma(Radical Rats):
"He's not even trying to hide the fact that he was listening. He's going to be a problem. More than Haizaki ever was or will be."
***End Confessional***
***Confessional***
Isagi(Storm Kings):
"I understand that not everyone on this team can drive or ride something, or is even old enough to legally do so. But I wanted to see someone else get a chance to go like Din. Not only do I get to learn more about my teammates, but I feel that for some of them, getting the opportunity to participate could increase their morale. I know this doesn't apply for guys like Paul, Din or Midorima since they don't seem to care too much about that, but guys with personalities like Aomine, or even someone like Mona, would benefit a lot from participating."
***End Confessional***
"Well, guess our plan isn't so original. The other teams are doing the same thing." Miyuki said.
"Well, it's still a good plan regardless. Staggering each of us between races is still the best course of action to take. And even then, it may be a good idea for us to be spaced out. There's 9 races but only five of us." Myron said, referring to each member of Team JET.
"Before we worry about those other races, we need to win this one! I'll take the lead!" Kaz said.
"That's fine with me!" Diego said, giving a thumbs up.
"Well, if you don't race now, you're gonna explode later from not being able to race so why not?" Fiona said.
"I'll be #2 in this race." Mr. Wolf said.
"You two better not let me down!" Launch said, hair still blonde.
"You can count on me! There's nothing I'm passionate about more than racing!" Kaz said before pointing up to the sky. "A HUNDRED AND TEN! THAT'S THE PERCENT I'M GONNA GIVE IN THIS RACE! YA GOT THAT?"
"Don't strain yourself buddy. It's just you watching a car race. Remember that." Tsukishima said.
"You'll see! When I win, you'll see exactly what Scan2Go is all about! One step further to me and my team being the fastest in the universe!"
"I think we can all see what Scan2Go is about. I can describe it one sentence." Tsukishima said. "Small toy cars race on tracks and they have superpowers. Done. That's it."
"That's more than just what Scan2Go is about! But enough talking it! We're going to show you firsthand!" Kaz said, pulling out his Galaxy Falgor.
"Yep. You do that. I'll be standing here. Just like you probably will." Tsukishima said.
"Man, I really don't see how he can team up with a guy like that. It's like Midorima, but without the weird items." Kagami commented.
"HOW MANY TIMES DO I HAVE TO TELL YOU, THEY'RE NOT WEIRD!" Midorima said.
"I don't know, when you're walking around with a mask and carrots, especially if you're not eating them, that's kinda weird." Natsu said.
"Don't you walk around with fake money and call them jewels?" Miyuki remarked.
"That's because they are jewels." Natsu said.
"Why is it that everything that comes out of your mouth some smart remark?" Fiona said to Miyuki.
"Judging from how the teams are mingling again, I'm guessing you guys are done?" Chris asked.
Several "yeah"s and "yes"es were heard.
"Cool!"
"Can we use cars we already have?" Kurt asked.
"Yes you can! Just so we can avoid anyone getting ran over, and any potential lawsuits coming from that, I need all non-participants to head to this portal here! Heloise! Chef! Doyle! You guys are free to go too, I'll take care of the rest." Chris said, gesturing to a portal that he opened.
"The nine racing will stay here."
Everyone except for the nine racers and Hiruma went into the portal which eventually closed.
"Okay! I'll let all of you go back and get whatever you have to use." Chris said. "Hiruma, why are you still here? I specifically said to go into the portal if you're not racing."
"I've got something he can use." Hiruma said.
"Good to know!" Chris said before adjusting the setting on one of the portals.
"Go on ahead guys! You've got five minutes!" Chris said.
***Confessional***
Rally(Radical Rats):
"The last time I raced here on this show, Lance beat me. I was one of the losses that caused us to lose the challenge. Not this time. Kagami and the others got to show off their skills in the last challenge. Now you get to see mine in one of my domains. I'm just really hoping this car doesn't get destroyed too."
***End Confessional***
"Here. Take this." Hiruma said, giving Rocky a motorcycle.
"Thanks! Keep showerin' me with gifts like this and I might have to work for you." Rocky said. "Just kidding. Devilman." He said smiling.
"You better not destroy this bike little man or I'm gonna destroy you. Got it?" Dax said to Bren.
"Loud and clear!" Bren said, saluting.
***Confessional***
Rocky(Radical Rats):
"Yeah, that name's gonna be a work in progress. I'll figure something out. He nicknames everyone else so it's only fair I do the same, right?"
***End Confessional***
Kaz, Rex and Launch were the only ones that didn't go to a portal. Kaz already had his machine on him(as most Scan2Go racers almost always do), Rex was going to use one of his builds and Launch had a capsule that held a bike.
Everyone else returned through the portals with cars(or in Jotaro, Bren and Rocky's case, bikes). Kurt's car was notably his Battle Spec. Rally's car was notably not the same Cobra GT-500 she drove the last time she was in a race there. She now drove a Ford Mustang II Cobra, though this one shared the same blue and white striped colors as the previous car she drove.
A/N: The bike Jotaro uses is the same/similar to the one used in Stardust Crusaders. Even though this takes place after the end of Part 3, I'd imagine he still doesn't have the car seen in Part 4:Diamond is Unbreakable.
"Alright. Now that you all have your vehicles, you're going to need to follow me. Try your best to stay behind me, or you're going to get lost quickly." Kadeem said before getting in his Krazy 8s.
"Ready Falgor?" Kaz said before pulling out his scan card. "Scan One!" Kaz declared as the Power Stone within it activated, allowing it to have one turbo boost.
"Hmm, to avoid any potential accidents with how small the car is, I'm gonna increase its size, if that's fine with you." Chris said.
"Sure. But how are you going to do that?" Kaz asked.
"Easy! With this!" Chris said before pulling out the resizer ray. He shoots the car with it and its sized increased to match the size of Kurt's and Rally's cars.
Two portals opened. One for Hiruma to go into, while the other nine went in the other portal that Kadeem went in.
"Unfortunately, I won't be able to help much here. Do your best Falgor!" Kaz said before following Hiruma to the same portal.
Desert, California(Hot Wheels Acceleracers/World Race)
The 10 racers suddenly appeared from a portal in the desert.
"Heh. Just like old times." Kurt said.
"Yes. Although you won't be going the same path you did then as you already know." Kadeem said as they were still driving in the desert.
Ding Ding
Hot by Smash Mouth Plays
*Short Introduction Instrumental Plays*
"A song? Here?" Kurt said.
"You know, Zee's got a point. How exactly is this even working?" Rally said.
"Not sure. But for now, let's have some fun with it." Rocky said.
Kadeem: Hey, so you wanna play?
Rocky: You'll see my game's on fire
Kaz: But we don't play the same game
Launch: You'll see I'm greedy for speed
Rally: And neutral means nothin' to me
Bren: So if that's your desire
Rex: We'll get along famously
Kurt: But one thing: I like to lead
They all eventually found the road and were on a straightaway for a while.
*All except Jotaro*:I light 'em up before the motor starts
*All except Jotaro*:I go so fast that I could never stop
*All except Jotaro*:Look under the hood but you don't know what I've got
*All except Jotaro*:I'm a moving violation baby
*All except Jotaro*:Hot! Hot! - Hot! Hot!
The road got narrower. Everyone was forced to have follow in a straight line or risk driving off the side of the cliff, even though there was a railing there. Eventually, there was a turn after the straightaway and afterwards, a tunnel where there was a larger series of turns.
Rally: Highway, that's my scene
Rex: I may look like a blur when you see me
Rocky: I mean I'm flirtin' with disaster
Kurt: I'm the master of G's
Kadeem: Goin' faster, gonna pass ya
Launch: Gonna blast some dust your way, you say
There was another large curve, one that had all of them beautifully drifting or going around the corner, though Rocky was the closest one to falling off over the rail.
Kaz:You got skills and somethin' to prove
Launch:But you're in my way so you better move
Rex:One foot on the pedal but never on the brake
Kurt: So don't give me a reason I got a license to race
*All but Jotaro*:I light 'em up before the motor starts
*All but Jotaro*:I go so fast that I could never stop
*All but Jotaro*:Look under the hood but you don't know what I've got
*All but Jotaro*:I'm a moving violation baby
*All but Jotaro*:Hot! Hot! - Hot! Hot!
*Long Instrumental Break*
"Come on Jotaro! Join in! Have some fun!" Rocky said, getting close to him on his bike, but losing focus on the road and almost losing control, about to fall over a cliff that he didn't see before Jotaro grabbed him via Star Platinum.
"Whew! Thanks magic man!" Rocky said.
"You wouldn't have to thank me if you pay attention to the road." Jotaro said.
"True. True." Rocky said.
"Nice driving." Kurt said to Rally as she got beside her after they got out of several twists and turns and a section of the road where there was a concrete barrier instead of a railing. They were back in a larger area of the road. "You a racer?"
"Nope. Just a girl that loves cars." Rally said.
"And guns apparently, from what I've heard." Kurt said.
"Guilty as charged." Rally said, smiling at him before turning her attention back on the road.
*All but Jotaro:*I light 'em up before the motor starts
*All but Jotaro:*I go so fast that I could never stop
*All but Jotaro:*Look under the hood but you don't know what I've got
*All but Jotaro:*I'm a moving violation baby
*All but Jotaro:*Hot! Hot! - Hot! Hot!
Everyone was another straightaway before a portal opened.
*All but Jotaro:*I light 'em up before the motor starts
*All but Jotaro:*I go so fast that I could never stop
*All but Jotaro:*Look under the hood but you don't know what I've got

*All but Jotaro:*Hot! Hot! - Hot! Hot!
Kadeem was the first one to enter with the others not being too far behind.
The Ultimate Cube(Hot Wheels Acceleracers)
All ten came out of the portal in a facility that was underground. A track was seen in the back along with a closed and dormant hologram of a wheel with several rings, which was the Wheel of Power. The other contestants, along with Chris, Chef, Heloise, and Doyle were also there awaiting them.
"All right!" Kaz said, celebrating Falgor's finish.
"The fact that it was able to finish on its own isn't too bad. In fact, that's pretty impressive." Rally said.
"The real question is, who won?" Rex asked.
Kadeem laughed.
"I can answer that question for you. No one!" Kadeem said.
"So this wasn't a race? Then what the heck was all that?" Bren asked.
"It was simply a test." A voice was heard saying. Dr. Tezla and a Hawaiian woman with dark brown hair tied into a ponytail, dark brown lipstick and wore grey overalls over a blue tanktop and blue shoes with earrings was walking beside him and a hovering robot that had an egg shaped body and two hands in the shape of fins. Its head was shaped like a shell and it had purple eyes. In the center of his torso was a purple screen that showed the audio waveforms of his voice whenever he speaks.
"Tezla." Kurt said.
"Kurt." Tezla said, a little surprised to see him there.
"You're the last person I expected to be here." The woman said to Kurt. This was Lani Tam, a former teammate of Vert's on the Wave Rippers during the World Race.
"Yeah, I've gotten that multiple times already." Kurt said.
"I suppose when money's involved, anything can happen." The drone said. This drone's name was Zeb. Tezla's original drone, Gig, was destroyed after Tezla's headquarters was set to self destruct by Gig himself, in an attempt to destroy all of the Racing Drones that invaded the Acceldrome within it.
"It appears so." Kadeem said.
"You've already met Kadeem. I'm Lani. This is Dr. Tezla. And this is Zeb." Lani said.
"So what exactly are you here for then? I'm guessing it's not for the money?" Kurt asked Kadeem.
"While the money would be nice to earn for doing this, it's not the only thing I'm here for. I already learned that what my people needed was more than just money or food. It was leadership." Kadeem said. "To be honest, I volunteered because I thought it would be fun more than anything else. I don't really have as much time to dedicate to racing as I once did, so to be able to do that was a great feeling."
"And, it served as a way to check if your vehicles were capable of keeping up." Tezla said.
"Think of what you just saw as more of a warm-up or practice run." Lani said.
" Okay, so when do we get to the real thing?" Rex asked.
"In a minute. The first thing some of you are going to need is a tune-up. Without one, you won't be able to get into the portal for the race." Lani answered.
"Kaz, your Scan2Go Machines are rather interesting. But to get the best experience, you'll need something that'll be truly capable of keeping up with the rest of the racers." Dr. Tezla said.
"In other words, while it seems to be fully capable of holding its own, in the conditions of this next race, I suspect it won't last long." Zeb said.
"So what do you suppose I do? I can't exactly race with anything else." Kaz said.
"Zeb will scan your car. Then, using these scans, we'll design a car based off its design." Dr. Tezla said.
"Will its abilities carry over?" Diego asked.
"Theoretically, yes." Dr. Tezla said.
"But, we won't know unless you allow us to scan the car. Unless you have other ideas for how you'll get Falgor to compete and have a remote of a chance of winning." Zeb said.
A truck's horn was heard before breaking through the doors of the Acceldrome.
On its load were several unpainted cars.
"YEEEHEHEHAW!" A voice was heard inside the truck, stopping and almost hitting Rally's car and several other contestants.
"Look out!" Adrien said, pushing Marinette out of the way.
"Maniac!" Rally said, on the verged of going nuclear if her car was hit.
"Is this guy insane? He almost ran us over!" Lucy said.
A buff man with pale skin and red, slicked back hair, bushy eyebrows and a handlebar mustache got out of the truck. He wore a shirt with the sleeves orn off, tattered jeans, a bone-necklace, and 2 engraved metal pieces on his gloves which spell out "Pork" and "Chop" respectively.
"Heck of an entrance. A dangerous one. But still, a heck of a way to introduce yourself." Adrien said.
"Thanks." Marinette said. "Uh, you can get off me now."
"Oh. Sorry." Adrien said, rubbing the back of his head.
"Who did you get this time Chris?" Courtney asked, not even surprised that yet another maniac appeared on the show.
"I know exactly who this is." Kurt said, not even surprised that he even made an entrance like that.
"Who is it?"
"Porkchop! Do you really have to drive like that? We could have killed somebody!" A scrawny man with red ginger hair, covered by a gray cap said. He wore a gray suit with various kinds of belts and pockets and a long thin soul patch. This was Mitchell McClurg, or as most people call him, Monkey.
"Aw relax. Everybody's fine." Porkchop said, hitting him in the back playfully but pushing him forward.
"Hello! Hello!" A black robot with a red and white cap said. It's jaw was silver metal and there were two green lights on the left and right "pectoral" sections along with the same Racing Drone symbol seen on other RD-S1 units. It also had silver goggles for eyes and its left arm had a silver brace around it, similar to Tezla's exo suit. It also noticeably hard sparks coming out of the side of its head occasionally.
Techno music was heard.
Hot Wheels Acceleracers Nolo's Theme plays from a car loudly
"Teku and their dang stupid music!" Porkchop said, chewing on the bone necklace to try and contain his anger.
Several cars arrived along with a motorcycle that had flames and a skull on the front of it. Once they stopped, the music stopped.
"Kurt!" Vert said, getting out of Reverb.
"Looks like you joined the party too huh Vert?" Kurt said.
"Yep. Couldn't pass up on the opportunity to come back to the show and watch a good race." Vert said.
"Kurt! Why didn't you tell us you were comin' on this show man? We would have tried to do somethin' to support you." Nolo Pasaro, who was a young Hispanic man with chin-length black hair and brown eyes said. He wore an orange and blue jacket, a white undershirt, dark blue jeans, and blue shoes. He also wore his brother, Tone Pasaro's golden T necklace, which has a piece broken off.
"Didn't think I needed to make a big fuss about is all." Kurt said.
"You're on reality TV! Of course it's a big deal man!" Monkey said.
"Scrap the modesty bro. You know you're not gonna act like this when you get in the race." A man with spiked black hair with sideburns said. He wore dark round sunglasses, a black tanktop with a stylized "M" on it to represent the Metal Maniacs racing team. and jeans with various belts on it. He also ha a blue tribal tattoo on his right arm and his left arm was robotic, due to it being replaced by the Racing Drones during his capture. This was Kurt's brother, Mark Wylde. Or as the Maniacs called him, Wylde.
"Why are you guys here anyway?" Kurt asked.
"To help with tuning and designing your cars of course." Vert said.
"Taro didn't want to come though. Didn't really care about the whole reality TV thing. Tork wanted to, but he was busy." Monkey said.
"So why is Karma here?" Kurt asked.
"Call me curious. With everyone talking about how there was going to be a race I had to see what was going on. Maybe I could learn a thing or two." Karma said. She had dark brown hair tied into a pony tail and wore red lipstick along with a blue Teku jacket with orange shoulder pads with a white shirt under it along with blue pants, gloves, and heel wedged boots.
"Let's get this started huh? I'm ready to watch a race!" Mark said.
"If we're racing too, then it's probably a good idea for our cars to get scanned too." Myron said.
"Well then, let's get to work." Lani said.
*A montage of cars being tuned, scanned and customized is shown here*
"So these are Scan2Go machines. Interesting." Karma said, looking at the performance of Shiro's Lightning Wolver as it was being analyzed with Shiro silently observing as his arms were folded.
"How long is this going to take?" Shiro asked Zeb.
"As long as it needs to for you to get the best results." Zeb answered.
Shiro sighed. He just wanted to get started with the race already. All of this analysis, scanning and waiting just made him more antsy to start. In no way was Shiro an idiot. But he'd be lying if he said this type of thing was his field of expertise. Nor if he said he was interested in it even as remotely close as Myron was.
"Yo, where's your ride man?" Shirako asked Rex. Shirako was a young Japanese man that wore orange-tinted glasses and tall blusish-black hair. He wore a white vest with a black and orange T-shirt under it, with a white undershirt below that. He was also wearing headphones. On his wrist was a device to control the volume on his music.
Rex showed him via the Rex Ride build.
"Right here." Rex said, smiling.
"Cool." Shirako said, still moving in tune to the music that was playing in his headphones.
"Man, this car's got some horsepower!" Monkey said, looking under the hood at Rally's car.
"You can look, but don't touch." Rally said, smiling proudly.
"Touch it and break something, and Rally might kill you." May interjected, passing by as she was eating a sandwich.
Monkey laughed a little, thinking it was a joke until he saw Rally's face. She was still smiling, but from the feeling of his gut, he could tell that May wasn't kidding.
"Uh, yeah. Come on Sparky let's go!" Monkey said, quickly leaving.
"Hello! Hello!" Sparky said, running before pointing at Rally's car and giving a thumbs up in her direction, showing his approval of it.
"Hey May, where'd you get the food?" Kagami called out.
"There's a cafeteria in there. Gotta get your own food though." May said, pointing him in the direction of said cafeteria.
"Thanks." Kagami said before going in the direction of said cafeteria.
"Man, look at those teams. It's like guilds but for racing." Natsu said as the Teku and Maniac members continued to help out in scanning and customizing the cars.
"Hey, what's up, how ya doin'?" Monkey said, almost running into Natsu.
"What's up?" Natsu said.
"Hello!" Sparky said.
"Is that all he can say?" Happy asked.
"Yep. His name's Sparky! Say 'what's up' Sparky." Monkey said.
"Hello!" Sparky said, as sparks came out of him twice.
"Don't mind the sparks. At this point, I just accepted the fact that's a part of who he is." Monkey said.
"Where's like the plug?" Natsu asked.
"Plug? What are ya talkin' about?" Monkey asked.
"He is made of magic, right? I'm guessing Natsu thinks it's a vehicle." Happy said.
"Oh, Sparky? Nah. It's not magic. Heck, I didn't even make him. He's a Racing Drone." Monkey said. "Only thing I did was fix him up after he got smashed. Shirako got him some legs though."
"Man, there's a lot of things that's different from our world. It's amazing that you guys don't even need magic to do all of this stuff." Natsu said.
"I guess so." Monkey said. "Anyways… what do you think of the show so far?"
"Well, it's pretty good. We are the stars after all." Happy said.
"Kinda jealous. You know I signed up for the show too. Didn't make the cut though." Monkey said.
"No offense, but I'm not sure you'd be able to make it past the first episodes." Natsu said.
"What!? Come on I know I'm not exactly the strongest or bravest guy on the planet, but the first few episodes? Come on! I can last longer than that." Monkey said.
"You don't exactly have any magic. If anything you'd probably just be a background character." Happy said.
"What does having magic have to do with anything?" Monkey asked. "You don't need fancy powers to have a chance to win. I mean look at everybody else. We beat the Racing Drones and they could probably clobber most of us in a fist fight." Monkey said.
"Win what?" Natsu asked.
"Uh, the show? Total Drama?" Monkey said.
"That's what you were talking about?"
"Uh, yeah. What did you think I was talking about?"
"Never mind."
"Anyways, I was asking, 'cause I think I might get accepted as a late entry. Sure it's not at the beginning but, it's better late than never right?"
"Hey, I'm glad you get a chance to compete. So what do you want to win the money for?"
"Well, you see, I'm a racer, obviously. At first, it was just regular street races, and being a mechanic. You know, normal stuff. But then, this robot comes in the middle of a race, almost causes Wylde to crash and go over a cliff. And he tells us about some guy named Dr. Tezla needing us. Mind you, I didn't even know who this guy even was. Then Kurt and Vert started to talk about Gelorum, and the Wheel of Power, and Nitrox and stuff like that. Tried asking Taro about it and all he said was that it was 'trouble'." Monkey started to explain.
"And man, trouble is an understatement." Monkey said, laughing a little. "Different dimensions to race in, killer robots. And I'm not even getting paid! They want me, a regular mechanic to risk my life out on the road and not get paid for it!"
"Sounds like you've been through a lot."
"Yeah. We all have. And somehow though, I still survived! So I was thinking, if I can survive that, I think I can take whatever this show's got to give. And have a chance at winning and finally getting paid! And I get to be on reality TV! What about you guys?"
"Well, Lucy, Happy and I were told about the show from some weird guy in a red and black costume coming out of nowhere while we're looking for another job." Natsu began to explain.
"Flashback time!" Happy said, appearing in front of the screen.
Flashback
"So, you're lookin' for a job huh? How about this one?" Deadpool said, slapping a paper on the board.
"Who the heck are you?" Natsu asked.
"The guy that's giving you a second chance of a lifetime thanks to StaticShock01 and G-Man 2.0!"
"I've heard of those names in my life. This sounds like a-" Lucy said before looking at the jewel reward.
"Look at all of that money! And all we have to do is enter and win?" Lucy said in awe.
"You were about to say it was a scam. What happened to things being too good to be true?" Happy asked Lucy.
"Well I'm pretty sure this might be true. And if it is, you get to win some fish!"
"Oh no. You're not bribing me!"
"What I don't get is what second chance are you talking about?" Natsu asked.
"You were competing in MasterSaixus' Total Drama season. Unfortunately though, you never got your run finished." Deadpool said.
"Nope, still not ringing a bell."
"There's strong opponents there." Deadpool said.
"I don't know." Natsu said.
"Pleeeease? Natsu come on! Look at all of this money! If we win, do you realize how much food you can buy?" Lucy said.
"Well, I guess it couldn't hurt to check it out. Besides, if it is a scam or trap it's not like we can't fight our way out." Natsu reasoned. "Where to?"
"Follow me!" Deadpool said as they left the Fairy Tail building.
End Flashback
"Well, guess it's safe to say it wasn't a scam." Monkey said.
"Yep. And we've gotten to meet some pretty cool people here too." Natsu said. "Kinda sucks that I haven't been in anything but one challenge yet. But hey, Lucy got to be in one so that's cool. Besides, I know I'll get my shot eventually. It's not like every challenge will be like this."
"Oh. You must not be good at racing." Monkey guessed.
"Actually, Natsu gets motion sickness whenever he's in any type of transportation. Even roller skates can make him sick." Happy explained.
"Ah. That sucks. Hey, consider yourself lucky then. That means you never have to go in the Racing Realms." Monkey said.
"Racing Realms? What's that?" Natsu asked.
"It's like these tracks in different worlds. They were made by some aliens called the Accelerons. Just know that all of 'em are dangerous. Don't get me wrong, it's one thing to try this stuff in games, but in real life? Absolutely not!" Monkey said. "It's all fun and games until lightning strikes come at you from out of nowhere!"
"And it looks like you guys are good to go!" Lani said, from a distance.
"Wow. That seemed like it didn't take that long." Natsu commented.
"Yeah. Kinda helped that some of them didn't need much modding I think. Like Kurt's car. All he needed was some Nitrox and he was good to go." Monkey said.
"Yo Natsu, catch!" Kagami called out, tossing him a sandwich.
"Hey, thanks!" Natsu said.
"No problem. I didn't bother with a drink since I don't know what exactly you like. You want anything else, cafeteria's that way." Kagami said, thumbing him in the direction of said cafeteria.
Midorima also came from said cafeteria, carrots bagged in a Ziploc bag in one hand while eating an apple in the other as classical music could be heard playing through his earbuds.
"Sendo! Kise! Kuroko! Catch!" Kagami said, tossing them all Ziploc bags with sandwiches in them.
"Thanks Kagamichi!" Kise said.
"Thank you." Kuroko said.
"Thanks." Sendo said.
"Cafeteria's over there if you want food guys. That was all I could carry. Sorry." Kagami said, loud enough for everyone to hear.
"Too bad these nine aren't going to get it! I need you guys to get ready to race! Go to the bathroom, get water, heck, if you think can do so within five minutes, you can grab a bite or a snack. But I need you guys in those cars or on those bikes in five!" Chris said.
"Oh yeah, by the way, for those of you wondering, the confessional outhouse is outside. Yes, Chris was that cheap he actually asked for the outhouse to be teleported in. But since it's away from the island, the cameras are battery operated, so try not to wear it out." Heloise said.
A larger, drivable version of the Galaxy Falgor was brought in by Lani.
"Wow! That's awesome!" Kaz said.
"It's almost a perfect replica!" Myron said.
"Since you guys might not exactly be experienced in actual driving, we've made it a lot more beginner friendly for you all along with trying our best to replicate your car's abilities." Lani explained.
"What about the rest of our machines?" Diego asked.
"This is the only race you're going to be in here. While the extra data helped perfect the design of this Falgor replica, it would be unreasonable to create replicas for all of your vehicles. And a waste of resources and time." Zeb said.
"So why didn't you tell us this?" Shiro asked, his tone showing that he was not happy that he did all of that waiting for nothing.
"If you were listening, the extra data helped perfect the design of the Falgor replica. If anything, your data could be the reason your teammate could win." Zeb said.
Shiro sighs. "Whatever." He said before going to get his car.
"How exactly do you guys deal with having him on the team?" Mr. Wolf asked Fiona.
"His attitude isn't the best, but trust me when I say this: Shiro is not a bad guy. Honest. He's just as passionate about racing as we are. You know how I say Kaz has a one track mind when it comes to racing? Well, eating is tied with that too."
"Actually, no. This is my first time hearing this." Mr. Wolf said.
"Oh. Well, you've heard it now. My point is, Shiro's the same way. The racing part. Not the eating. He just doesn't express it the same way." Fiona said.
"LET'S GO! I'M READY TO TEST THIS BABY OUT AND WIN!" Kaz shouted, unable to stop moving.
"You're yelling for something you're not even old enough to actually do." Sucy said.
"It's his first being able to actually drive. I'd say let him enjoy it." Tsukishima said.
"Yeah, and?" Kaz said.
"See what I mean?" Fiona said, sighing.
"I really don't see why you have to yell over that. It's just driving." Sucy said to Kaz.
"IT'S NOT JUST DRIVING! IT'S RACING!" Kaz said.
"Which still requires you to drive. Your point?" Tsukishima said.
"But picture it! The adrenaline! That fire that burns inside of you when you're giving it your all in a race! And then, you've got to activate your ability and ascend your limits to win in a photo finish!" Kaz explained, before realizing that both of them left. "Hey, where'd they go?"
"Don't worry Kaz! I'm willing to listen!" Hinata said before Kageyama dragged him away to the cafeteria.
"How do you go from wanting to eat to listening to this guy ramble on about racing? Jeez, you're so scatterbrained sometimes." Kageyama said.
"Good luck!" Hinata called out.
"Now get in there and go eat!" Kageyama said.
"What are you his mother or something?" Todd remarked, going past the two.
"No I'm not his mother! I'm just a very concerned teammate!"
"Aw Kageyama you do care!" Hinata said.
"SHUT UP! STOP MAKING THIS WEIRD!"
"I'm not making anything weird. You are!"
"Just get in there and get a sandwich or something!" He said, all but tossing him in and falling into Aomine's plate.
"Wow. Real nice. Who's the dumba[censored] that tossed him in here?" Aomine said, upset that his pizza was on Hinata's face.
Todd, Tsukishima and Sucy all pointed at Kageyama who was in the doorway.
"Aren't you supposed to be uh….. doing whatever it is you were doing?" Kageyama yelled at Todd.
"Yeah. Now I am." Todd said. "Good luck with Aomine dude." He said, walking away.
"AND WHY ARE YOU TWO RATTING ME OUT? YOU'RE MY TEAMMATE AND YOU BARELY EVEN KNOW ME!"
"If I'm going to be woken up early with no breakfast, I can at least get some entertainment." Sucy said, smiling as she sat across from Tsukishima at a table.
"You handled Kagami. I'm sure you can handle Aomine right?" Tsukishima said.
"COME HERE! I WAS LOOKING FORWARD TO THAT PIZZA DAMN IT!" Aomine said, running after Kageyama.
"THEN WHY ARE YOU CHASING ME? JUST GET ANOTHER ONE!" Kageyama yelled as they were running around the headquarters.
The two almost hit Rally's car as she was about to get in it.
"Dumba[censored]es." Rally commented.
Tsukishima and Sucy tried to contain their laughter.
"That was so mean." Akko said.
"Yeah don't you two have any remorse?" Hinata said.
"Get the pizza sauce off your shirt and face then we can talk." Tsukishima said.
"Doesn't look like you're going to get that out of them." Libby said.
"Huh?" Hinata said before seeing the sauce on his face and shirt. "Oh! Totally forgot."
"How could you forget that? You can feel it on your face." Weiss said.
"Look! Sometimes I forget things! You forget things too! Everyone does!" Hinata said, before going to wipe off his face and shirt.
"Yeah, but nothing as stupid as that." Weiss said.
"Oh lay off Weiss. I can think of several times you've done something stupid." Yang said.
"Just like I think of twice those times you've done something stupid." Weiss said.
"Would you quit acting like a perfectionist? Jeez." Blake said to Weiss.
"I'm not being a perfectionist! I'm simply being the best I can be at all times." Weiss said.
"Huh. Sounds like someone else I know." Sucy commented.
"I know a snide remark when I hear one!" Diana yelled, a vein popping on her head.
"I don't have to take this slander lying down." Diana said, leaving the cafeteria.
"Me too!" Weiss said.
"They're such babies." Karin commented.
Shiro, sighing, sits down at the same table as Karin, breakfast pizza on his plate along with some juice.
"So, what's got you upset this morning?" Karin asked.
"It's nothing." Shiro said.
"Doesn't seem like nothing to me." Karin said.
"I already told you I'm fine." Shiro said, slightly raising his voice a little before ultimately deciding to move to another table, seeing where Octavia was, but wasn't exactly sure if he should sit or choose another table.
"If you want to sit here, go ahead. I don't care." Octavia said.
Shiro takes a deep breath before closing his eyes for a bit. He then silently starts eating.
***Confessional**
Karin(Wave Breakers):
"So the mysterious Shiro does have emotions after all. I hope he can keep them in check for us to win."
***End Confessional***
"Hey uh, about Shiro, did you guys know he's an alien?" Ben asked Diego in a low voice, joining Diego and Libby at the table they were sitting in. Myron was with Bennett and Cicini as they all had computers in front of them, with Cicini and Bennett using them to communicate with Rally, who was given the earpiece to test out for long distances, while Myron was intending to try and study each of the races along with the track itself to gather data.
"Shiro's an alien!?" Libby said, surprised.
"Yeah. I was kind of surprised too." Ben said.
"Yep! That's right. We've always thought he was from Earth just like us. But he actually isn't. He doesn't like talking about it but….. Shiro's a Wolfgar." Diego said.
"You mean like…. a werewolf!?" Libby said, terrified at possibility of Shiro transforming into a monstrous wolf at night.
"Well… sort of. It's hard to explain."
"So, you're talking about me behind my back huh?" Shiro said, appearing in front of them, scaring Libby and Diego only for it to reveal it was Nimona.
"So, I heard Shiro's an alien. What's his transformation look like? Is it scary?" Nimona asked.
"Please don't let it be scary." Libby said.
"Like I said, it's kinda hard to explain. It usually doesn't really happen so it's nothing for you guys to worry about!" Diego said, smiling.
"Oh thank goodness." Libby said.
***Confessional***
Diego(Wave Breakers):
Diego puts his two index fingers together. "Okay, so I kind of…. lied?" He said as he looked away from the camera, rubbing the back of his head for a bit before getting ahold of himself. "I'm all for talking to people, but you have to understand, that's a very touchy subject for Shiro. I just don't feel comfortable revealing all of that unless he wants to. I'm honestly worried that what I already told them was too much."
***End Confessional***
"Alright everyone! Your give minutes is up! It's time to get racing!" Chris said. They all moved their vehicles outside.
A man with pink hair, yellow skin, wearing a red vest with long white sleeves over a black jumpsuit with blue and red boots that were yellow at the top was seen outside stading on a large white platform that was hovering in the air. He also wore headgear with a blue visor, which also doubled as a headset as a microphone was on it.
"Welcome! Welcome everyone! Whether you're watching from here or from across the multiverse, I welcome you to the start of the Total Drama Gran Prix competition! For those of you that are fans of Scan2Go, you may have seen my face, but if not, you can just call me DJ! I'll be announcing this and all of the future races for this tournament! But before we begin, I'd like to give a special shout out to my fiancé Lily first! I know she's jumping for joy to know that I'm here for an event of such grand proportions! An event that I'm entirely grateful for being a part of! And a woman that I'm entirely grateful to have a part of my life!" DJ said.
"Awwww." Luz and Akko said, both trying their hardest to not tear up.
"That's so sweet!" Julie said.
"We're supposed to be racing, not crying!" Hinata said, trying not to cry himself.
"Now then, back to the race! This is the start of a nine-race competition! Although there was one pre-race before this which from what I've been told, has allowed the Kings to jump out to an early lead in the standings." DJ said before gesturing to a screen that appeared with each team and pictures of their representatives for the first race.
Storm Kings: 2
Radical Rats: 1
Wave Breakers: 0
"Now, as we officially begin the tournament, can the Breakers turn it around, will the Kings continue their dominance, as they have yet to lose a challenge, or will the Rats take sole possession of first and be the undisputed winner of this challenge? Find out now!"
"Racers! Cards set!" DJ announced.
"Uh, what cards?" Rocky asked. "I think you've got the wrong game pal."
"Oh. Oops! Sorry! My mistake! I saw Falgor and my mind instantly went to Scan2Go races." DJ said before clearing his throat, a little embarrassed.
"Racers! Ready?"
A traffic light appeared above them before it turned from red to yellow. Kurt adjusted his helmet. Rally put on her aviator sunglasses. Mr. Wolf also put on his sunglasses.
Rally put down her window.
"Nice car." Rally said. "I'm really lovin' that engine sound."
"Thanks. Just know that flattery isn't gonna stop me from beating you." Mr. Wolf said. "But….. you got a nice ride too."
"In your dreams." Rally said, smiling. "And thanks.
"GOOOOOOO!"
The traffic light turned green at the same time of him saying this. They all drove into the cube and onto the track that was used to enter the racing realms.
Hot Wheels Acceleracers Initiation Plays
Because of how narrow the track was, they all had to go in one straight line. They all got sudden boosts of speed, which caught all of them, except for Kurt off guard.
"Okay, can I back out now? Please!?" Bren said.
"It's a little too late for that buddy." Rocky said as they continued to go across the network of loops, going upwards as they did.
"Rally? Rocky? Can you hear me?" Kurt said over the onboard radio.
"Yeah. I can hear you." Rally responded.
"Loud and clear!" Rocky said.
"Good, then that means the other teams' radios should be working too." Lani said to Kurt over the radio.
"Kings, Breakers, check your comms and make sure they work." Lani said.
"Jotaro, Bren, you guys okay back there?" Rex asked, looking back. Because of how his Rex Ride worked, he was instead given an earpiece.
"I'll live. Hopefully." Bren said.
"I'm fine." Jotaro said.
"Launch? Mr. Wolf? You guys alright?" Kaz asked.
"I'm fine. We need to worry about Launch. She's looking like a deer in headlights right now." Mr. Wolf said as her hair was now blue.
"You must keep going Launch! Do not slow down or you won't be able to get in." Kadeem said over the radio.
"It doesn't look like I have much of a choice!" Launch said, desperately trying to not fall off the track and onto the bottom.
"True." Zeb commented.
They got to one last boost as all of their speedometers reached over 300 mph as they approached a portal.
"If this is what I think it is, hang on. You guys are gonna be in for one heck of a ride!" Kurt said over the radio.
"As if we aren't alreadyyyyyyyyy!" Rocky yelled, trying not to lose control as he was speeding to the portal.
"And that begins the racing tournament! We'll pick up with where left off on the next exciting episode of Total….. Drama….. Across the Multiverse!" Chris said.
A/N: And that is part one of the Gran Prix! If you have any suggestions for the name of Ben's Volkriegian alien form, please let me know. I won't take any suggestions for the Wolfgar form at the moment since that hasn't even been revealed(If it ever will be. There's no guarantee that form will be used).
Also, for any readers of Multiverse Edition, Rally's car was not destroyed in that season. It was during the Gunsmith Cats Burst Manga, the sequel series to the original Gunsmith Cats(not spoiling the events unless this story explicitly mentions it). So for timeline placement for her, it's been two years since Rally competed in Multiverse Edition. She was 19 during that time, which was during the original Gunsmith Cats Manga, and now she's 21 as of where I currently am in the Burst Manga(that's her actual age. She has all her IDs identify her as two years older so she can still legally run the shop and stay in the bounty hunting business).
And also, the bike Hiruma gave Rocky was not one he actually owned. That was an item he got from one of the several victims he's blackmailed lol.
