Total Drama X: Hotel Rockies
Episode 2: Inking The Hotel
Part 1!

...

...

...

...

Also, like I said, this is a somewhat different JFK and plus there's a Chinese guy (Cheng Xiaoshi), a distinctly Malibu spy (Clover Ewing), the chillest MF ever (Zee), a fun-loving sister (Kitty), a spoiled mayor's daughter (i.e. there needed to be a bootleg Heather aka Chloe Bourgeois), a lady ninja (Mai Shiranui), a edgelord (Juri Han) and Kyo's disciple (Shingo)

For the record, Episode 1's back in business with more than a few changes to the roster and the story to boot, though I do need to get started with this big she-bang eventually

Two or three eliminations every episode, baby and also, aftermaths for this season obviously.

And replacing Sakura Kusagano is Juri Han, who as you can see from Episode 1c is already cooking with that Anti-Hero Alliance, though however long Juri's in there may make it an anti-hero alliance, not an alliance of anti-heroes.

Sorry, Ginrai12, Juri just has more story potential in the current story and honestly, I really hope that the rest of the cast can kick enough ass to make it worth the wait! That being said, this is quite a first challenge, man!

PLEASE REVIEW THIS ONE, BECAUSE I REALLY NEED THE FEEDBACK and there's a few edits here and there.


The cool spring breeze on the hotel's rooftop was all that needed to be there for Topher to do his thing.

"Last time, we left off with 82 people all competing for that big cash money, a lot of them meeting for the first time, some of them talking from the bus and a lot of pre-game relationships, mostly hating each other! Every single one of the seventy-five main players got their own awesome introduction and so did the cooks...and the hotel...and the six latecomers! So, these campers have been taking their time to give each other a decent impression! Today, we've got an awesome challenge for them to handle on-"

Topher was actually taking the time to drink a little bit of a hot drink.

"-Total Drama X:"

And it was over with.

"-HOTEL ROCKIES!"

'

Sorry, no intro just yet.

Also, I want to address something.

Every single character, even the first boots, will have their moment in the spotlight even if they were definitely moments and hopefully, the accuracy will be improved-

-I got quickscoped.


Eighty-two people and none of them were currently in the cafeteria for the currently made-up, definitely questionable pan-bumping cooking competition between four people with entirely different cooking styles, though Smee burnt his hands badly.

"Hey, you guys haven't witnessed my cooking, the best of Totsuki! My food's awesome, more awesome than the rock man!" Soma bragged, as he dumped some amazing-tasting slop. "Believe it!"

"Rada-rada." Schitnzel complained. "Rada."

"Shut up, man, if you were better than why did you lose!"

"Rada rada rada! Rada rada!"

"That Mung Daal's guy good, chill out! Still not as good as me-"

"RADA!"

The six new contestants just sat in the same area, as though they were just allowed to sit there without that much explanation and Zee was ready to talk his butt off on the same table.

"Ladies, what's good?"

Clover and Chloe were suddenly not on the same table.

"Oh, Xiaoshi, I guess they didn't want to know what's up!" Zee casually remarked. "What's up with you?"

"Honestly, a lot. Including the fact that I might have ended up in a bit of a freakshow." Xiaoshi said. "Can't even figure out what the show actually is about and that rock guy didn't look like a costume."

"Wait, do you know about this?"

"No, why should I?!" Xiaoshi shouted defensively.

Fenneko looked at him rather unseriously.

"Dude, you're in for a wild time."

Clover returned from the table, as she listened to the quite good-looking Chinese guy's conversation.

"Oh hey, random miss, yo I was talking about this show and how wild it is!" Zee shouted. "Xiaoshi doesn't know what's going down, which is kinda like Damien!"

"Then what is going down?"

"Uh, a lot of freaky people trying to get a million dollars!" Clover shouted. "Like, you don't know it, you haven't those Ultimate Islands, right? Spoiler alert: I did way better than Chloe-"

"Yeah, so, it's a costume contest, right?" Xiaoshi blurted out defensively.

Clover winced at the lack of awareness coming from the time-traveling photographer and Zee just shrugged, seeing that even Xiaoshi's own two eyes were betraying his rationalising mind.

"Nope."

Cheng Xiaoshi wondered something.

"THEN WHAT IS IT!"

"It's real."

Damien looked a bit more tired than your average early bird.

"Also, why are you guys down here so early?" Damien asked, taking a deep sigh. "And loud, it's six in the morning."

Zee wondered in his mind.

"Some guy said food tastes better in the morning, though he's definitely lying his butt off!" Clover shouted. "These guys know how to cook."

*Xiaoshi's confessional*

Now, he was fully pissed.

"Lu Guang, what did you get me into?!" He shouted.

*Confessional cut*

Though they were eating, the rest of the contestants finally arrived slowly but surely and Satsuki knew that there was a little bit of disturbance, She-Hulk non too pleased with the retooling of the roster that's out of her control, mind her.

"Yeah, you better believe that!" She-Hulk shouted to the skies. "Seriously, though, just stick to a plan and do it, not that hard to do, author with no real name, so you better stop adding characters."

Unfortunately, she got the attention that she didn't want.

"So, she's a crazy bitch?" Satsuki asked.

"How the-"

Chika was taken off-guard.

"-I don't know, she looks like she crushes cars in her sleep and breaks her alarm clock."

"I fail to see the difference, but she's not a ghost wherever she is."

"Sweet, I thought that was obvious."

"Hey, I've dealt with wackier stuff with my weird friends, so don't doubt me on that one."

The two fell silent for about a second.

"Hold on, you hunt ghosts for real?"

"Yeah, I really do, bitch!"

Chika stepped back in plain shock.

"Whoa, why are you so aggressive about that?"

"Hey, I'm sorry. Just had dumbasses talk about how ghosts aren't real and-"

Satsuki suddenly stopped at seeing one of those dumbasses walk up with a smug grin on his face and being a little bit of a douche, the BLU Scout walked up.

"-and you know, I can't handle ghosts."

"Ooooh, sounds scary." Chika jittered. "What kind of ghosts?"

"Uh-"

Scout and Satsuki met eyes once again, starting up the ghost debate loud and well in the middle of the early morning cafeteria with the sun shining into a small part of the cafeteria.

"Sorry I didn't believe ya. You just seem like some kinda asshole with the way you were acting and talking crap about me...dunno if I misjudged you, though?"

Satsuki and Chika looked at him for a second, as Scout was looking pissed.

"You only apologised to him, because you were a meanie to a lot of people and they want you to not be a meanie and you being a meanie means you're going to get sent home early!"

Chika definitely tried her best.

"You thinkin' I ain't honest with the apologies." Scout said.

"Not really, but you have to apologise 'cause you're mean!"

Unluckily, her brain wasn't working properly.

"Uhhhhh, Damn, you're really, uh, something."

Scout didn't want to get into a fight, as Satsuki just sighed.

"Yeah, she is something, alright." Satsuki calmly said. "Can't believe you're from Boston."

Scout just shook the comment off, not wanting to get into a fight like the people that were silently causing trouble on the other side of the cafeteria for some completely expected reasons.

"Watch it, fatso, I haven't even eaten yet!" Rebecca pointed to Dedede.

"Listen, I made sure that my big butt's saving the food for you, you small chump!" Dedede retorted snottily, as Rebecca looked incensed.

"Then wait like every other motherfucker in the building and honestly, most of us haven't woken up yet."

"Short girl, why are you being so confrontational? A kind deserves his seconds, especially a big guy like me!"

"Okay, then wait, dumbass."

"Listen here, miss, I don't know why you're swearing so much, but I don't mind waiting mostly because of your dumb complaint!"

Rebecca and Dedede were ready to go weapon-to-weapon, even if she didn't have guns and only big Lego-esque arms that could deal a few hits and someone else joined in.

For what could only be described as "sheer boredom", Mai Shiranui ran right towards the duo's point of view.

"Because you're not honouring her request and uh, I bet everyone's going to be awake in thirty minutes, so why don't you calm your butt down and wait?!" complained Mai, as Dedede pulled out the hammer.

"Do you ladies wanna fight 'cause I'm ready to throw down!" Dedede screamed, as Cuphead pulled alongside him.

"Yeah. It's not like he's gonna eat that much!" Cuphead argued out of nowhere, as Dedede stared at him.

*Jack Horner's confessional*

He looked like he could use a few more minutes, a bit disheveled.

"Wait, so you're telling me that I really missed a random fight that no-one cares about and looked kind of ridiculous. Dang, I should have woken up earlier!"

*Confessional cut*

Kitty bore witness to the fight of the morning AKA the second morning of the season wherever two men and two women were fighting over having seconds when most of the cast had woken up.

And some others shouting about manners in hypocritical fashion (mostly Kitty and Falco, hilariously enough.) as the line went around the fight that most everyone had their eyes on.

"Hey, guys, did I miss something important or what?" Kitty distractedly asked.

Before bearing witness to a chaotic room full of people that had realised that their cast was wild and there sure was a lot of fighting in between the "new friends" that were sitting in the tables.

"I think I picked a good spot to eat." Mirabel finished that food.

"Yeah, you sure did." Kitty answered. "Wait, where's the Topher guy?"

"Probably doing important stuff." Mirabel said nonchalantly. "Hosting stuff, as well."

*Kitty's confessional*

She sat down all-excited.

"I thought it would be less chaotic and 81 would be less than 128, but I guess not! At least there's a lot of cute people in here and Emma, I bet I could beat a lot of those villains in here and the people literally fighting over seconds!"

*Judy's confessional*

The bunny cop wondered...what the fuck was going on with some of the players.

"Some of the returning players have some kind of villain origin story and that's not even including me having...problems with some of my co-workers, but that is any workplace, especially with my unnecessary fame hindering my police work." She said. "...Chloe doesn't even have it that bad. Trust me, I've investigated, 120's a lot of people to track!"

*Damien's genuinely disappointed confessional*

He looked a little disappointed at the facilities of this hotel.

"I thought this was better organised." He just said. "Someone probably has said this twelve times considering they introduced eighty-two players, but still."

*Zee's confessional*

The tan-skinned legend sat on the toilet seat like a legend.

"Does having a metal leg count as super power because it seems like this place is the opposite of chill. Like before a lot of people get hurt unchill!" Zee shouted. "Still can't believe that Chris has a son that hosts this show...pretty freaky, dudes."

*Confessional cut*


Fenneko and Xiaoshi somehow got sat next to each other, shocked by each other's existence and it was moreso that some other people got dared to push them together.

"What are you?" Xioashi asked.

"I should be asking you that question." Fenneko asked right back.

Nothing else was said for some time.

"So, what do we do other than understand each other? And talk strategy."

"Talk about people who flopped on social media?"

More epic silence.

"That sounds like someone who's a bad person does!"

"Yeah, well, I know, right! Definitely not my thing!"

They both awkwardly laughed, as they didn't have shit to talk about, which was apparent from the two separating into their own awesome groups of random contestants.

Fenneko, Judy, Roxanne and Tangle were together, sitting on the same table, discussing the most important of subjects that required it and it was obvious that Roxanne grinned.

"What kind of wacky challenges does this guy have?" Judy asked. "Chris always has some kind of sadistic torture challenge that is apparently legal."

"That's kind of the best way that Total Drama challenges kinda go. You prove that you're number one that way." Roxanne answered, bragging about her potential achievements. "But I have no idea."

"Yeah, this isn't helpful."

The animatronic and the rabbit sighed.

"I doubt that this is a bad kid grown up! Sounds like a battle royale challenge."

"That would be a bad first challenge. But I haven't done that much research into the show."

Tangle was grinning, as Fenneko breathed in to say her truth.

"I doubt that this challenge would be anything, but something that shows all of the contestants at their best and also something that shows some good TV. Like a challenge where everyone gets a chance to show their personalities and strategy, nothing more, nothing less and a challenge where we'd have to run around the whole hotel."

Fenneko finished it like she spoke the truth, before Roxanne was surprised and Judy was vexed by the words.

"Hold on...you said nothing!" Judy realised.

"What, she said a lot of words!" Tangle shouted right back. "She explained that the challenge would take a long time and have action."

Fenneko had an innocent smile.

"It's the first challenge in a hotel, so yeah it'd have action."

"Whoa!" Tangle gasped.

"Gimme some action...and a car." Roxanne Wolf crossed her robot arms. "Then watch me win!"

"No, I'm gonna win because my tail can stretch like no-one else."

Judy Hopps was still vexed by the simple explanation.

*Judy's confessional*

The rabbit was a little miffed.

"That was not much of an explanation, more like a pretty solid theory. I'm really more surprised that these two got so excited over the first challenge having action. Which is a given." She said. "Hold on-"

*Fenneko's confessional*

She was shocked.

"Second day of this show's season and I'm already impressing people. Eat that, Tsunoda." She said, all monotone. "Now I have to not get eliminated, which should be pretty hard."

*Confessional cut*

Damien, Xiaoshi, Zee and Fred also had discussions of great importance around the same table.

"Man, these things are crazy! You never get the chance to appreciate them twice because you eat them!" Zee declared with his heart.

"That's how food works." Xiaoshi answered. "Especially ramen."

"Nice name for a bunch of noodles."

"You should stop asking food questions for a second and are you okay?" Xiaoshi said.

Fred and Damien just chuckled a little bit.

"Man, I am! Just that I never tasted ramen this good before." Zee said.

"Yes, I know! This Japanese man knows how to make ramen! How does he even do it?" Xiaoshi casually complimented Soma.

"Must be some of that food magic."

Damien and Xiaoshi quietly gasped, as Fred Jones wondered what he meant.

"Oh, come on, I don't think he meant anything bad by it! I heard that Soma combines a ton of stuff and cooks a lot to make his ramen...since there's a lot of technique to it!" Fred shouted.

"No, I meant, it was like Soma's got this way of making magic, but with cooking, dudes!"

These three did a sigh of relief and stared right at the chillest man.

"Why are you looking at me like that?"

*Fred's confessional*

"For a second, I thought he'd get a little bit racist. I don't know why I thought so, but he seems like one of those guys who likes their country and hates everyone else's." He tried to figure it out. "Now that you mention, that really was a stupid thought."

*Confessional cut*

For once, science united three scientists in the shady area that had reasons to exist...more so two and a half, as Scudworth and Mr. Butlerton were poorly hiding from the suspicious lady scientists and Snively was taking the time to enjoy

"Uh, huh, there is a certain rumour that you are some kind of Dr. Octopus from an alternate universe, which isn't true!" Reagan said. "So, with that said, you ever did anything crazy."

"Yes, a decent amount of crazy things like in that one challenge where I did that one thing where the squirrels-"

The lying beeps came on for some reason, as Clover and Chika covered their ears.

Olivia and Reagan questioned something.

"What was that? It's not like I swore or anything, I just said something about Episode 35."

"Something tells me that you might be lying, because I watched all of that and I did not see you do a single thing."

Olivia looked a little bit scared.

"Or rather, uh, there might have been something that you kinda don't want to reveal, which I can completely understand." Reagan reassured. "Being a Total Drama intern must be hell on earth, doing challenges that suck ass."

"Oh. Believe it or not, I did do a lot of work for challenges that never came to be." Olivia said. "Surprisingly."

"Yeah, happens a lot more than you think and honestly to god, I'm good with not revealing my Total Drama-box?"

Olivia and Reagan...looked at a certain corner at a random box with a peering hole and a certain duo who runs a school of clones and then it moved slightly, revealing the badly hidden man.

"Scudwoth, you're not great at hiding yourself." Olivia pointed out, as Scudworth's glove poked out of the box..

"This is a talking box doing normal talking box things!" Scudworth said, unconvincingly. "Hahahaha."

"I've heard of Metal Gear Solid, you can come out. I promise it's less embarrassing since you're from that other organisation." Reagan basically mocked the scientist.

Scudworth stood up so fast in outrage that the box he was hiding under basically flew up into the air to land on another contestant.

"Blasphemy, you can't just insult my evil org like that! What about yours since it is so much better!"

"I mean...it is, just that we don't have to compete with you guys." Reagan said, not that serious.

Olivia shot a look of concern, as Snively facepalmed.

"I know, but that doesn't mean anything when you're up against me and my awesome plans." Scudworth boasted, as Reagan sighed. "What, you're jealous."

"Why are you even hiding, we don't even know when teams are happening?" Reagan questioned.

"Um-"

Scudworth realised that he looked like a total idiot in front of a lot of people.

"-that's just part of my great plans."

Olivia and Reagan saw Topher saunter into the situation with a grin.

*Snively's confessional*

The almost bald scientist looked uninterested.

"I know that I'm planning an alliance full of the brightest minds and I know that he is a bright mind because you don't just clone celebrities very easily, but I've seen many like him. Like it is a very bright mind inside of an idiot of sorts." Snively said. "Still, he's very important to the alliance."

*Confessional cut*

"How are you guys feeling? Heard you were hiding in a box! Pretty cool."

With that out of the way, Topher armed himself with the megaphone and an amp that attached itself somehow.

"AW YEAH, we've got a challenge in here! Guys, it's challenge time!"

Topher definitely annoyed three very distinct scientists, as the trio were talking about something interesting and not at all unfinished and Mr. Butlertron had something to say.

"Everyone finally knows about the challenge, Wesley."

Topher was obviously confused and looked to Mr. B's master.

"Does he call everyone that?"

"Yeah!" Scudworth beamed. "We were talking about the internship of this hot science lady and the kinda ugly science lady though she was joking."

"Hahahaha, yeah. What a weird internship, Olivia." Reagan stated, almost vindictively. "Just letting you know that your survival of that challenge might have-"

"I'm just happy that I'm not dead." Olivia answered passive-aggressively. "And you know that the challenges are-"

"-some kind of wacky, obviously, but why didn't you do some stupid move yet?" Reagan stood up with a declaration.

the beat.

"Wait, where's the host?"

"Deflection!"

Scudworth shouted that because, uh, he wanted to and the two lady scientists were looking at him and the man that both looked like a lackey and looked like a traitor, who arrived with some coffee.

"Pay attention to the man who looks like a Hollywood villain." Scudworth insulted Snively.

"What did I even do this time?" Snively huffed his breath.

Olivia and Reagan looked at Topher wearing his dark teal shirt with pride and an open chest that revealed his pretty solid physique and generally looking like a douchier version of Chris.

If that was possible.

"He looks terrible." Snively had time to make an off-hand comment.

"Come on, Chris somehow did this with over 120 contestants, the 81 of you should be good at listening!"


Zee was actually the first one there somehow even before the host, as he got lost and dropped down some emergency stairs towards the big challenge room.

"Wait, weren't we just eating like a few seconds ago or did I walk fast?"

Of course, he was only one dude.

"Huh, life is weird like that-"

And everyone else noticed that he was right beside an emergency stairwell and he immediately shut up because Topher might have wanted to kick him instantly.

Or else because Damien was confused.

"Okay, you guys may have met each other yesterday and don't ask how Zee got here! Today's first challenge is simple and totally not copied from another universe's challenge!" Topher stunned the room into silence, which wasn't that hard.

Because it was a massive well-lit, well-maintained empty room that put even all of the contestants in perspective compared to the space that Topher's ego-stroking platform put up.

"A little bit of a paintball hide and seek, where all you guys have to do is hide and seek from some of the best paintball players that we could gather from a certain universe!"

Another trio of strong players were walking up from behind Topher's oddly tall platform, though it wasn't like they were not re

"They may be squid or octopi one minute and they could be kids the next, but they're certainly covering the whole hotel in ink with some other fellas! Give it up for the Inklings of Splatsville, a place in the desert where these guys somehow have survived and these kids can turn into squids, obviously!"

There was definitely one Inkling for every nine or so contestants, as the nine Inklings all shared the fresh fashion (from Splatoon 3 mainly and throwbacks towards Splatoon 1 and 2) of being in Splatsville and being on the same team, considering that they did secret handshakes and all of the taunts towards the contestants like they were friends.

It didn't help that they were all teal coloured and this was...a hotel.

"Yeah, I'll figure out the cleaning later!"

These guys and gals talked about their situations in Inkling language.

"These Inklings are going to shoot you with ink, paint or whatever you guys have in this inspired game of Hide & Seek! If you've been painted, all you have to do is the double thumbs down pose and you'll chase the other ones that haven't been painted yet! You've got about five and a half hours to complete the challenge!"

All of the competitors were on watch for the other squid kids in there and there were definitely going to be more than a few.

"Only 15 people can have immunity and first place gets the first chance to pick a team...in a few episodes, so keep your eyes peeled! And if first place hasn't been determined, we've got a tiebreaker, splat dodging challenge!"

"Random question, how are you gonna get that all cleaned up?" Damien asked. "Does it even hurt?"

"How many squid kids are there, well, just for recording's sake!" Daisy shouted.

"Hold up, how is the ink-" Jennifer wanted to answer.

Topher pulled out the horn, being a douchebag of the Gen Z era.

"Guys, the challenge is already happening! Though, all of you have a ten minute head-start compared to the squid kids!"

'

The ten-minute head start was a great opportunity for all of the contestants, no matter how weird they were, to show off their talent, skills and whatnot to circumvent the squid kids.

Glendale had a good idea, but it was in the middle of a random stair closet.

"Okay, guy, enter my belly portal!" Glendale shouted.

"Wow, I never got the chance to hear up close how bad-"

Brian Griffin got dragged into her belly portal, as Glendale looked guilty.

"Sorry, just wanted to help a fellow centaur out."

Brian shouted something from the portal.

"Wait, keep it quiet."

*Brian's confessional*

He was in the middle of a Total Drama Island confessional with a bunch of stuff.

"Well, damn, I definitely see some people in this weird space of whatever, but I'm tired of being here even after five minutes! Mostly because there's a random talking car that hates me." Brian stated, as a car engine could be heard. "Can we do this later!"

A wheel pushed the door open.

*Confessional cut*

Glendale's worry wasn't apparent enough, as she was basically sweating over some peering eyes that were willing to get into the closet.

"Listen, if you want to come in, you're going to have to make space for yourself!" She exclaimed, before realising it. "Because there isn't any!"

"Whoa, whoa, I was just wondering if there was any, uh, of those Inklings in here." Esmeralda said.

"Nope!" Glendale replied nervously, as Esmerelda moved to find another hiding space out of the vestibules.

Brian and Glendale were safe for now in one of the stair columns and well, people were well into either trying to dodge each other or getting as far away from any Inkling as they could.

Or the third option.

"Shit, I guess we've found the greatest hiding spot of all time." Rebeeca remarked.

"Don't worry, I can blast these guys." Scout remarked, clocking his gun.

Rebecca looked at him with interesting.

"We're not going to blast their heads off, are we?" The "tech goblin" inquired.

"We ain't! I'm just gonna scare 'em by shooting at their feet." Scout answered.

The two gun wielders didn't know that there was another pair in the room.

Lusamine and Yor heard all of that and they were both spooked by that kind of conversation and then got spooked further by another horn and the following announcement.

"The head-start's over, be invisible or be inked!"

*Lusamine's confessional*

She wasn't that offended, just surprised.

"I can't believe that they're so willing to shoot random children just to hide themselves better. Using my Pokemon should be less lethal!"

*Confessional cut*


Some players were naturally gravitating towards each other for one reason or another and a few of them were naturally on the younger side, having a shot at doing something crazy, since these Inklings had experience gunning each other for fun and gunning their enemies to preserve their way of life.

Cuphead, Roll, Kitty and Chika were all running together for reasons "currently unknown", though Roll's left over bucket was currently being held by a skater boy Inkling.

"Ahhhh, are they real squid kids!" Chika shouted.

"Uh, yes! I'd never thought that Cala Maria had kids."

"I don't think she had kids. Ishigami made sure of that!"

"How well do you know her?"

Chika shut up once Cuphead got suspicious, as Kitty looked at the pink-haired future politician.

Things were a bit quiet right near the fourth floor, which had a lot of space to cover and a lot of room for random corridors that definitely existed to confuse the living hell out of these four, though the aesthetic shared between the entire hotel was sustained with the tan-coloured wallpaper and the crimson carpet.

"Wow, what is this place?" Kitty asked. "It's like the Total Drama version of a hotel!"

"Oh my gosh, it is!" Chika shouted. "I don't think Total Drama has even taken place in a hotel."

"I mean-"

Kitty cringed.

"-that one in 2017 did. That one."

The quartet was looking carefully around every corner, sure of the fact that there was some Inkling watching for any of their mistakes...mostly because Roll could see it.

"Ooh, I see what you mean. You got blind-sided." Chika remarked.

Kitty and Chika got pulled into a hiding space.

"I know." Kitty said.

"While this interesting conversation is great and all, not being shot is my top priority and so far, most of you guys are doing a bad job on that." Roll explained. "Cuphead probably isn't here."

"What do ya think? I was scoutin' and there's this squid kid who mocked me!"

Cuphead almost shouted that, as the other ladies looked at him.

"Whoa, whoa, calm down, this guy doesn't have my position on hand."

"Didn't Topher tell you that he could transform into a squid?" Roll asked, almost incredulously.

Chika and Kitty looked at the ground and noticed something that was not there before that was primed to explode.

"Come on, we should move right now." Roll huffed.

"YEAH, RIGHT NOW, NOW!" Kitty shouted.

Kitty basically pushed the two of them out of the way of the Curler Bomb and like any bomb in Splatoon, it made anyone wearing something else coloured in turquoise, even if Roll came out unharmed.

Kitty not so much, even if she respected the paint job.

"Geez, that was a smooth move missy." Cuphead said.

"I wanted to say something, but you two were talking a ton!" Chika got some looks from Kitty and Cuphead. "Also, you looked kinda cute."

Chika didn't care about Roll getting the frick out of dodge, rolling right out of that paint situation.

"He's a cup and how are you okay with this?!"

Chika's smile faded away to a nervous grin.

"I'm trying my best, okay!"

*Chika's confessional*

She was plainly nervous.

"I'm going to be honest. The fact that this is real still kinda scares me, but I have been slowly been getting less scared of this season!" Chika shouted. "Actually, it's really scary, but I am fine with it?!"

*Confessional cut*

Roll was part of the 77 that was currently in the game, as she ran a reasonable distance away from the Curler Bomb that curled their game short and decided that this situation was plaink awkward.

"How did it go that fast?!"

"Chika, Kitty and Cuphead got eliminated and it has only been twenty minutes!" Topher shouted. "Somehow, Luigi got hit through slipping on ink."

Luigi really saw Daisy sprint away from him in a totally different part of the hotel, though it was definitely on the same floor

"Wow, she really does move fast." Luigi said. "And I can't believe that I'm the first one out."

One of the newest & freshest Inklings probably agreed with him...at least to Luigi.

"Yeah, all I have to do is avoid getting voted off!"

The Inkling definitely wasn't agreeing with him now, as she rolled his eyes.

"You clearly didn't listen to the rules, though, I can't come back!"

With Daisy and the crew (of Shingo and Chloe), they had bigger problems than not having optimism or even the ten inklings that had speed on their mind, it was...


...a wall that wasn't even there a second ago, but it was definitely a wall of sorts with the Splash Wall.

"You know you could just move!" Daisy said. "Come on, potential teammates, let's move."

"We're moving, but so is this wall, obviously!" Chloe shouted, running sideways to...slip on some ink. "Uh-"

"Then we go around it unlike Chloe!" Shingo said.

"Gosh darn Chloe, you messed up!" Daisy remarked, seeing Chloe get shot and then seeing that the Inkling.

The duo booked it towards a random mezzanine that wasn't being used at the moment and going up a whole floor meant a little something, since that was where Trevor was hiding in a random crate.

"Fucking hell, it's you two." Trevor said.

"What's with the frickin' rudeness, we just met?" Shingo was taken aback.

"I know you two are terrible at hiding and running." Trevor replied.

"Dunno about her, but I'm really good at it!"

Shingo Yabuki bragged like he wasn't the loudest person on the mezzanine, as Daisy and Trevor had the "what's up with you" look on their faces, trying to keep out of sight of the Inkling.

It wasn't like they didn't hear it at all, the cyan-coloured Inkling definitely peaked around the corner to everyone's disappointment...and then left to everyone's relief, as Shingo looked quite relieved at that.

He didn't want to say anything, as he pissed off a Belmont and Daisy was much better, apparently.

"So, uh, what do we do?" Daisy asked.

"Hopefully not lose." Trevor said. "Since this guy hasn't left."

"What do ya mean he hasn't left, we'll be fine!"

The mere utterance of that phrase literally caused the Inkling to look at them like they were total idiots, as Trevor and Daisy did not like that move.

"Uh, Trevor and Daisy are also eliminated!"


There were about 75 fellas and we don't really need to get into that much detail for some of 'em, right? Especially since some of them were clearly not good at hiding.

Like, for example, a superhero and a former supervillain.

Jennifer Walters may have been a lawyer and a superhero, but she got caught out by someone else opening a crate door at a bad time and especially a former supervillain that was currently chased by those Inklings.

Notably, smashing into the crate.

"Geez, what happened to you?" Gru asked.

"You broke the crate." Jennifer remarked. "More importantly, said crate got rolled around."

"But how?"

"Blame a Mr.-"

They got shot, so it was 72 and Sora wasn't willing to be next, in spite, of floating around the temporarily unnamed Inklings that got Gru and Jennifer already.

The Keyblade wielder then flew around in that same corridor and after a little while (with the shooters still chasing him) he couldn't keep up that same agility forever.

"Come on!" Sora shouted, stopping to turn.

And getting shot.

"Sora, you're eliminated! Right after that Xiaoshi guy!"

"Yay?"

Sora had no idea what to do about being 70th.

"I thought I would've done better, but as long as I'm not eliminated today, I'll be happy!" He said, clearly not smiling. "Wait, what did he do?"

"Glad you asked 'cause he should be around your corner-"

Another guy being splattered with ink could be heard.

"-along with Damien, who got 69th!"

Damien screamed while he ended up in Sora's space, as Xiaoshi was covered in blue ink like the other three.

"You tripped in some ink, didn't ya?" Damien asked.

"No, I flew too slow!" Sora remarked with a goofy grin.

"Not really, but I did get sniped." Xiaoshi answered, miffed. "Those Inklings definitely know how to shoot!"

"Uh, yeah." Damien was a little bit sweaty.

*Damien's confessional*

He was understandably struck with terror.

"I've seen a little bit too much today and I said I wanted to win and I still do. But how am I going to do that with all of these super humans around, nevermind people who survived crazy stuff!" He shouted. "Man, I ain't giving up, but it feels impossible!"

*Confessional cut*

69 remained and with maybe two heavy hitters eliminated from the challenge at the moment, the challenge was still definitely wide open for anyone to make it to the top 15.

(If you are wondering how I accounted for the two new extra contestants, here ya go.)

Mr. Shark and Juri somehow got caught in the crossfire between Inklings and they were forced to go towards a room that had a giant screen, dim lights and enough seats for a whole village of people, but were taken up by the currently eliminated contestants minus Sora, Damien and Xiaoshi.

"Where do ya we're being sent, huh?!" Juri shouted.

"I have no idea, but damn it if I don't love this theatre!" Mr. Shark said. "Do you need any money?"

The Inkling vocalised something in its own language.

"Sweet, we're watching it for free!" Mr. Shark shouted.

"Excuse me, we're watching somethin' crazy here!" Cuphead shouted, basically shushing them.

Finally, Sora, Damien and Xiaoshi arrived at the location and they were a little bit surprised and if there was one thing to not be noted by what was on screen, it was that there was already backstabbing to be done.

"Wow, some of these guys are evil." Xiaoshi whispered under the seat.


Speaking of evil, let's get back to the king and queen duo of problems, one of which was not surprising to anybody but themselves, since they didn't really know how to not shout when they;re frustrated and on a unrelated note, Angelia chased them.

"Hey, kid, turn off that glow or else, you're going to make the whole word go blind!" Dedede shouted.

"I cannot, for it's a part of me! And I think it shows my superiority!" Angelia complained. "You do need my help!"

"I don't care what you're shooting', I'm a big king!"

"What if we're on the same team, you big penguin!"

"Then we'll work together!"

Queen of Hearts didn't really have the energy to talk, probably saying something about sending some kids' heads off, but she was not exactly fast enough to shit-talk the two of them.

And then they jumped into a random room, all of them safe.

"Young lady, penguin man, I'd suggest you should shut your mouth because these squid children could hear us and since I can't cut heads off, I would like to not lose." the queen stated, holding back a ton of rage.

"Sure, old lady." Angelia said.

In that single moment, somehow it awoke something in her.

"IT IS MA'AM, YOU ANGELIC CHILD!"

The queen wasn't really expecting to shout that loud and neither were the Inklings that opened the door, seeing an opportunity to do some more splatting.

Didn't help that someone was hiding there, hearing the loudest trio get eliminated and that someone was a little bit nervous.

"Whoa." Fred whispered. "Those guys aren't messing around."

Fred Jones wisely decided to stay on the bottom of the beds.

"These guys won't splat on me!"

He also said it a little bit too loud, enough so that he got up to greet the Inklings, who weren't quite seeing him just yet behind the big mean queen.

*Fred's confessional*

The trap-maker was chilling in his seat, a little nervous.

"Uh, Daphne, if you're seeing this, this wasn't my wisest idea at the time."

*Confessional cut*

What was that unwise idea?

Sticking his head out of the queen's shadow and getting splatted in the process.

"Dang."

"Dang, indeed." Hearty (just for shortening's sake.) reciprocated.

65 remained and it definitely wasn't going to stay that way for long, especially since not a lot of people had even rudimentary stealth skills or it was just plain size and speed.

"I'm going to keep it real, why aren't doing the teleport thing again?" Tangle inquired.

"Because of my Saiyan pride, half because I'm eliminated." Broly answered. "Don't look at my back!"

"Okay, I'm gonna take your word for it!" Tangle shouted.

"You should!"

Broly was 64th and it looked the girls that "strategised" earlier weren't about to let an opportunity slip their way, minus one who was apparently built different.

Tangle, Fenneko and Judy were in a janitor's closet, one of quite a few in this unnamed hotel east of Calgary and they were sure that they weren't the only ones there.

"Listen here, I'm the best animatronic in here-"

They could hear paint going on Roxanne.

"-Why did I do that!" She shouted in defeat.

"The last thing we want to do is give away our position. That's how criminals get away." Judy whispered to Fenneko. "Even if this is hide and seek."

"Nah, it's understandable. One stupid phrase is how you could get eliminated easily, it's kind of like working in an office." Fenneko said quietly, fitting into one of the cleaning shelves.

"Okay...what about you, Tangle?" Judy said.

"What about her, she's gone." Fenneko remarked, as Tangle was quietly moving through the closet.

Tangle was a girl of action who bumped into a "random guy."

"Shh, can you keep quiet about me being here?" Spamton asked. "I'll even [ally with you]."

Like a proper scammer, he got ignored as Tangle made it to a maintenance corridor.

"Okay, we're down to about 62...make it 61, Zee literally slipped into some paint! Wait a second, that's 60 people because they slipped on that same puddle!"

Now it was Spamton, Fenneko and Judy Hopps, none of which wanted to talk to each other for obvious reasons.

*Fenneko's confessional*

The fox officer worker sensed something.

"I don't really know if I can trust Spamton mostly 'cause he looks like a scam artist and Judy seems a bit weird. I don't know what it is, but she might be one of those police officers."

*Confessional cut*


As for the more unexpected hiders, Denji and Papyrus were definitely at least two guys that weren't expected to be great at hiding, but they could be doing worse.

Mostly because-

"30 minutes has passed and we've only got sixty remaining! These guys aren't the best at hiding and seeking and hotel guests, keep yourselves hidden because it's not getting any easier!"

-they were arguably as loud as the PA.

"I can't believe we made it 30 minutes, this is a cool dude moment!" Papyrus shouted. "Wait, seriously, you were homeless 'cause you had a bunch of debt to pay?"

"Yeah, don't even remember having that kind of debt, but it was pretty hard for me." Denji grinned. "Having Pochita by my side made it easier, 'cause he was my dog."

"NO WAY, you had a dog?!"

"A chainsaw dog, man!"

"I have seen a dog knight, a dog man-"

"Whoa, whoa, what?!"

They were so loud, that it befuddled some Inkling's mind...that was walking behind them and that guy immediately clocked onto them, just as the duo immediately started running down the corridor without a problem.

They didn't even see the random dude in the wings.

"Dude, watch for-"

Denji and Papyrus rolled all over Leorio, who was pissed.

"-Look where you're going, guys!"

Leorio re-adjusted his glasses, as he looked quite spooked at the Inkling that shot him.

"59!"

Denji and Papyrus still ran.

*Denji's confessional*

The orange-haired hero was nervous.

"I would've said sorry to him, but we had to get outta there as soon as possible! Plus me and Papyrus are getting along super well, but man, I don't think that guy likes me!" He said.

*Leorio's confessional*

The guy looked ruffled and inked, wiping his stuff off.

"As much as I don't know these guys, they could've stepped to the left, it's a hotel corridor with a bunch of space. It's not that big of a deal!" Leorio shouted. "I don't think we'll be friends, man."

*Confessional cut*

And they ran and ran and ran.

Right into another dude that dodged him.

"Geez, doc, there's other options!"

Bugs could easily see that coming, but these two were still sprinting and he managed to do one thing that essentially stopped the Inklings in their tracks with only two rocks.

Throwing them around into another corridor that Denji and Papyrus wer't going on wasn't that surprising, but the Inklings didn't fall for it at all and Bugs ran into that corridor.

The skeleton and chainsaw man managed to escape, sort of.

"And Bugs gets splattered aaaaand so does Tangle!"

The lemur and the rabbit bumped into each other and you know the results already, so let's move onto-

"Hold up, you distracted me!" Tangle shouted, right before they got hit by.

You know what it is by now.

"I know and I'm sorry!" Bugs replied right back. "...You wanna help splat other people."

"Maybe that Jack Horner guy, but not really."

"Eh, your loss." Bugs said, casually leaving the situation. "The name's Bugs Bunny."

Tangle had nothing to say, as someone else managed to slip his way right into some ink and it was not that surprising since they didn't have good shoes on.

"This has to be bad challenge. What kind of ink is this?" Jam remarked.

"Squid ink."

Jam still stood up, free of ink.

"Not bad ink, but I don't like it."

Jam Kuradoberi instantly ran off to avoid those Inklings, who was saying stuff about her and she didn't regret it one bit at that moment, unlike a lot of the current cast.


Let's get back to the weird duo of Denji and Papyrus, who currently was hiding in a random mezzanine crate and also paired up with JFK and Shingo, who was in the middle of something important and big.

Mostly literal, not so much metaphorical.

"Go, hottest chick in here!" Denji shouted.

"Shermie. She's got big, er-uh, erm, everything and she could totally rub my abs!" JFK admitted with the dumbest grin you could find.

"Weird choice, since she's-"

"Evil."

Shingo finished that sentence with the utmost seriousness and JFK was befuddled.

"Er-uh, how do you know she's evil? She's hot."

"She's part of the Four Heavenly Kings, a group of evil fighters that tries to resurrect Orochi, a god who wants to kill everybody! And I have no idea why she's here, but she's evil!" Shingo shouted. "She's Mr. Kyo's enemy and so she's my enemy."

JFK almost got the concept.

"So, you hate her because your friend hates her." JFK said.

"Yes and she tried to kill everyone!"

Denji and Papyrus were fully listening to the conversation.

"Er-uh, I'd like a toxic chick like that in my life."

"BUT SHE'S PART OF A GROUP OF WEIRDOS AND SHE'S A BAD GUY." Papyrus screamed, before realising something. "AND SHE HAS A WEIRD BODY!"

"Don't know about weird body, but you know, she might not be so bad." Denji commented, as the rest of the dudes looked past him. "Sure, she might be kinda crazy and uhhhh-"

Denji didn't notice the Inklings that didn't like their waifu choices (or something else, but I don't know their language.)

"-what are you guys looking at?"

On the stairs between the mezzanine and the first floor, Jessica, Yor and Kate were running to avoid getting splatted like the dudes that were talking about Shermie.

"Oh, a quad kill! Shingo, JFK, Denji and Papyrus are out, but there's 53 people left and a whole lot of people to eliminate before they get immunity!"

Jam was doing, by far, the best out of the three adult ladies, as Jessica wasn't doing bad and Kate wasn't exactly a stair runner.

"You know, I'm faster in a car." Kate remarked.

"Well, there's no time to complain!" Jessica told her.

"Right, I-"

Kate fell down on a bottom stair.

"-well, this ain't great."

And then proceeded to get ink-sniped from nowhere, though was still standing after even getting hit in the stomach.

"You two better move quick!" Kate told them.

Jessica and Jam wasted no time in running towards one of the tables, but a certain horned haired lady basically slapped them with a projectile, Jessica only getting inked, while Jam blocked it.

"Not gonna lie, pretty weak!" Juri remarked. "Thought you Toons could do better."

"And I-"

Jam crouched under some ink that Jessica got hit with.

"-don't mind being a toon."

*Jam's confessional*

She was miffed.

"This lady thinks she's great just because she has good kicks, but I have much better kicks and everything else!" She declared. "So, I won't go down."

*Confessional cut*

"Make that 51 'cause Kate and Jessica are gone."

Jam and Juri looked at each other with a hidden instinct to fight and Mako (who was still eliminated) and Mr. Shark were hiding under a table that effectively blocked some ink snipers, but Banjo and Kazooie were nowhere to be seen.

The restaurateur kicked high when the edgy lady did and both of their next kicks were lows, as these two weren't messing around when it came to nailing each other with a few kicks, with Juri even blocking Jam's double kick with her legs easily.

But Jam wasn't going down without a fight, doing a strong forward kick that forced Juri backwards, as the Korean villain decided that it was a good eye for that one move.

The spinning wheel that Jam wasn't prepared for thanks to going for a high kick and Jam got flown up into the air, allowing the ink to be shot.

"You terrible woman!" Jam complained.

"And Juri sends Jam out of the running!"

"You a messed up lady!" Jam shouted, wiping off some ink.

"Yeah, I know." Juri remarked. "Gonna use it to win."

Juri then dodged some ink shots, keeping her Anti-Hero Alliance together.

"Come on, guys, you know you can hit me if you want to."

It even got someone else caught in the colourful crossfire.

"Whoa, what?"

The formerly missing Banjo and Kazooie, carrying a bit of toilet paper.

"I just came back from the toilet." Banjo whined.

"Shouldn't have come back here!" Kazooie remarked. "Juri, why?"

And the alliance was stuck under the tables.

"Whoops, didn't actually mean it." Juri told them. "And that's clean toilet paper, right?"

"And we have 49 left with Banjo out of the game!"

*Juri's confessional*

She had quite the serious face.

"I'm not stupid enough to let my new alliance get sunk. I don't really need a million more dollars, just a victory to prove to Chun-Li that I'm not changing for her! You can call me when I win, missy."

*Confessional cut*


As for Lusamine, Yor, Rebecca and the still unnamed Scout, they had bigger problems to worry about for obvious reasons and it was not only because Esmeralda arrived into the awkward closet.

It was also because they knew that they were surrounded by at least one Inkling with a passion for long-range guns and some people liked to be loud in a janitor's closet.

"Why the fuck did you come in?!" Rebecca shouted.

"Because this is a safe place. You haven't been caught in an hour and some minutes." Esmerelda answered. "I have-"

"Shut the fuck up for second, I know you brought someone here."

"I was being chased by those weird children with weapons, basically."

Some knocks could be heard, none of 'em good and it meant that Rebecca and Scout got ready to counter them swinging, but Esmeralda decided to get with the two mothers.

"Alright, stand back, time to show these kids what we're made of!" Scout boasted, carrying a shotgun with tennis ball-like blanks. "You know the plan."

"Make their knees hurt, I got it!" Rebecca said.

They let the door open, as they went face-to-face with the Inkling, who shot them sniper-style and made the hurt mutual.

"Motherfucker, we're out!"

"We've got 47!"

That meant the three ladies were caught out in the closet with an Inkling coming in.

"It won't be long until we're caught!" Yor panicked.

"To be honest, I do have a little something to protect us." Lusamine casually stated, showing a PokeBall. "For a while at least."

"Well, that's good." Yor whispered back to the Pokemon-obsessed lady. "wonder what it is."

Esmeralda looked at the Inkling snooping around in here and she kept calm, as Lusamine brought out a little something while Yor tried to shut herself up from even making a noise.

That little something was quite big, but cute aka a bear with a pink furred head, white furred ears, grey-ish body fur and pink paws and claws for hands.

"Bewear!"

That Pokemon was also loud as all hell, unintentionally attracting attention to the trio of ladies who were trying to move behind it...and the bear punched one of the Inklings.

"Ooooooooh." Yor groaned in sympathetic pain.

"That tends to happen a lot. Well, Bewear, come back!"

Lusamine put it back in there and the three left the closet as fast as they could.

"Wait, don't tell me you were-" Yor slowly realised.

"Yes, I had to put out my Pokemon to protect us! Since we could be on the same team." Lusamine said.

*Lusamine's confessional*

She was quite deep in thought.

"It's not nearly as simple as getting an alliance and some random people willing to do heinous things for money, since I don't really know when the teams will be happening. Just like back at home, getting people to trust me is the hard part especially after what I've done." She said honestly. "Maybe a victory is what I need."

*Confessional cut*

Speaking of people that were getting surrounded by the lot of Inklings, there was a certain group that was having a hard time dealing with the damn kids thanks to their hilariously poor positioning.

"As much as this was a questionable idea, I do consider the fact that those kids would be killers." Dachun ethically thought. "So, they are my problem."

"Okay, but that doesn't mean you have to let them hit you. Their ink doesn't kill, but I won't let them get an easy win!" Tigress shouted, looking at Dachun taking a glance or two.

"That means they'll go free, which I won't allow."

"And what are you going to do about it?"

A moment a silence went between them, as Dachun was starstruck by the question.

Dachun didn't have an answer to Tigress' question, which meant that Vinny stopped listening to the absurd conversation on one of the upper floors that had carpet.

"Listen guy, you talk a lot about killers, but I got the sense that you killed a killer." Vinny said.

"I haven't." Dachun said.

The mismatched trio had only a table to defend them, even while walking.

"Sounds ridiculous, you're a bodyguard."

"I know, but I don't really like assassins." Dachun remarked.

"At least we share the same opinion." Tigress remarked. "And I suspect someone is going to handle the table!"

The table kinda dropped and fell apart, as Dachun finally went towards the front of the martial artist, demolitions expert and...old witch's head.

"THE INDESTRUCTIBLE VIRGIN!"

Anyways.

"He Dachun's elimination has happened and so is Eda!" Topher saw Vinny get quickly shot by a stray. "and Vinny's!"

"Hey, help a head out here!" Eda shouted. "My body just got splatted."

Vinny tried to comprehend what just happened, as Tigress got to dodging the ink splats with her own martial arts skills.

*Vincenzo's confessional*

He looked quite stunned, which was a bit hard to tell.

"I thought it was going to be easy out here, good strategy, good mind and a bunch of not so smart guys with a bunch of powers, but looking at this challenge, I see a bunch of fellas with a whole bunch of smarts with weird powers and you know, it's not looking very easy for me unless I make some friends here."

*Dachun's confessional*

The man with the pentagon was stoic, as his usual.

"From what I can see, there's a lot of killers in this show. A decent amount of people must be killers or might be killers, because they're so cavalier about talking about killing people...so I will stop them from killing in this establishment."

Somehow he forgot that it's illegal to kill.

*Confessional cut*

Eda's body got back to her head and that was the end of that freakiness coming from the old witch, as she wiped herself off.

"Wow, you guys are good at this!" Eda complimented. "You guys must shoot each other every day for the fun of it!"

The Inklings nodded, disturbing both Dachun and Vinny slightly.

"Wow, I like these guys already!"

"I don't." Dachun replied, as Eda chuckled.

Tigress decided to book it, considering that she wasn't ready to win the fight on inked up kids and basically moved towards a better space since there wasn't so many squid kids there.

Which wasn't going to be hard on the fourth floor, since that was where most everybody was and Eris Greyrat was definitely one of the people that got busy.

"Tiger woman, don't underestimate me!" Eris declared.

"I will not." Tigress calmly remarked.

The two met eyes, before looking at the weapons that ensured that they wouldn't win a fight.

"Listen, how do we get past these kids!" Eris shouted. "They have a weird smile."

"Looks like genuine smiles to me." Tigress said.

The Inklings didn't waste anything and neither did the bratty swordswoman and the tiger kung fu master, the contestants dancing around the kids with painting guns and Eris even defended herself with the sword.

Bystanders be damned and well, there was at least one bystander that was running towards the situation by mostly obliviousness, since they were indeed the previous good & bad mom duo that instantly braked right into Eris' back.

And uh-

"Eris Greyrat is out of the game!"

Tigress managed to get through, Eris growled at the two moms, Yor was panicking on both the inside and outside and Lusamine was a little surprised.

"I'm so sorry." Lusamine said curtly.

"I would have done the same to you, young lady!" Eris shouted, inked up, as Lusamine managed to turn around. "Hmph, you people are dressed weird...teach me your local fashion."

The Inklings shrugged.

*Eris' confessional*

She read this magazine that was "poorly" translated to English and she was basically turning it around every which way.

"Rudeus might be able to look good in these." Eris stated. "But only he knows what it says."

*Confessional cut*

Yor and Lusamine were both sprinting away and right into...the odd duo of Mako and Mr. Shark, quite doing the cartoon thing of even rubbing their own heads when the situation came down.

"I don't care who you women are, you should-!" Mako shouted.

"My name is Lusamine, former leader of the Aether Foundation." Lusamine introduced herself. "Pleased to me, Miss Mankanshoku."

"SHUT UP, HOW DO YOU KNOW MY NAME!"

"Why do you need to be so aggressive, miss?"

"Because you look weird, lady!"

Mako was still mad, as Mr. Shark went up in the middle of the oddly aggressive conversation, as Lusamine started to look angry and Yor was panicking.

"You know, this challenge is making us go a little crazy." Mr. Shark said. "Can't we just let them pass 'cause I'm pretty sure we've got kids who can turn into squids on both of our butts!"

"And I can see them coming in!" Yor yelped, as the Inklings were moving fast.

These four were sprinting away from the kids that turned into squids and uh...

...time to cut this short, because this chapter essentially took a year to come out and plus, there were only 43 contestants left with three and a half hours left in the crazy challenge.

Topher was also sitting in his own place that had cameras looking everywhere else

"Guys, we've eliminated 39 people in our first challenge and well, it's been a bit of a slow challenge! There's definitely been a few funny eliminations and a few ruthless ones, but these kids aren't messing around! Especially when they're about to get some surprising help, so stick around for some more Total Drama: Hotel Rockies!"


To be finished in Part 2 and yeah, I added more contestants to either make it up for not appearing in Ultimate Islands or because they could make for interesting characters, even with shorter stories...

...well, the challenge definitely has started, so there will be no more! There originally would have been one elimination for this whole challenge, now there's two and regardless of elimination numbers, everyone's out for blood.

Who else is going to get their butts painted or who's going to clear the challenge to be able to select some friends for the future teams?

I don't know either, so stop asking, but that isn't going to be for a short while (or two episodes, but watch for my currently slipping schedule) and there's 82 people, so the teams will still likely be scuffed.

Or messed up and honestly, this season has specifically been in production hell for about a year and a half, like it was supposed to start coming out when Ultimate Islands was winding down with only 32 contestants, but time finally passes.
