Total Drama X: Winter Warriors
Episode 6: Finally, Snowballs (UPDATED)
In the year of 2024, a great chasm was formed between the warring factions of the Arctic Amazonians and the Stunning Snowmen over a feud with the Duke of Barbieland, Ken insulting The Lady of Stolen Merch, MK over who wore a fur coat better, leading to all-out war between teams and even the Ultimate Islands contestants.
Chris would like that above example to be real, but he ain't an magician and there's only so many snowballs you could throw before peace could be achieved.
Or not, there's no Treaty of Pahkitew here.
Goodguygary: To be fair, I didn't want to be swamped with requests that I wouldn't really fufill and most of the requests were either via PM or Discord.
As for the actual review, Robotnik's right and at least Kamala's elimination surprised yet.
G-man 2.0: Like I said, it ain't really her story. She absolutely could go on a long run, but this wasn't really it for her and Bowser absolutely could have been more tactful about it. I don't know if you'd call most of these guys fodder, but lines were definitely not passed around equally.
Speaking of reviews, just give me yours. I'm not asking politely.
Forgot about Popeye.
"Last time on Total Drama X, our teams may have an alliance each trying to plot the game ahead of them and the rivalry's starting to turn ugly, but there was some love in the air! Courtesy of the very unloving challenge where three of each team had to team up and ride a boat!"
"Even if it ended up disqualifying more than a few campers from the battle of the boatsSomehow, it resulted in Kamala's eliminated from the island through your mom-tier insults and crushing her boat!"
"Well, the love ain't really over, but we should have some time for snow now that these teams fully don't like each other...on TOTAL DRAMA! WINTER WARRIORS!"
The great alliance of the dudes that still had no name managed to their first victory thanks to their influence on the previous elimination, going back to that same old cabin full of parts, with ideas that were as morally bankrupt as Kamala's untimely loss.
And man, Bowser and Robotnik laughed it up.
"If Bowser's gambit didn't work, one of you would not be here to tell the tale." Taskmaster said, trying to not facepalm. "Bowser barely saved both of your butts."
"But we did do that deed and ensured her loss. The first of quite a few." Robotnik stated, trying to stop his laugh.
"We slapped down her good!" Bowser shouted, basically slapping Taskmaster with a ridiculous amount of force. "My time's come."
"You mean, our time's come!"
Robotnik and Eggman were hyping each other.
"Well, yeah, we did eliminate one of the strongest contestants out there, so taking out some smaller fry should be easy." Taskmaster said. "Though I don't think our team likes you, Robotnik."
"Oh yeah, you got your butt beaten by a wheelchair guy!" Bowser boisterously shouted. "Come on, man, laugh at yourself."
"Well, that's enough laughs for one day." Robotnik grumbled. "I think we'll call this a day. Especially since we're going for Lucy."
"Okay, but I warn you, no dude here likes you." Bowser warned, as Robotnik scoffed at the big Koopa. "Suit yourself."
Taskmaster got up, as the trio were going back to where the team actually was...
...to a very interesting part of the island, mostly because everyone was too busy trying to make sure that Joe wasn't steaming.
"WHERE'S THAT EGGHEAD, I'M GOING TO CRACK HIM LIKE AN HARD BOILED EGG EXCEPT EVEN HARDER!" Joe screamed.
"That doesn't even make sense." Tengen commented quietly.
"I'M GOING TO MAKE HIM MAKE NO SENSE!"
Popeye held Joe back suprisingly.
"Okay, we get it, you don't like Robotnik. Dude's a goofball, some could say a dumbass." Tengen said. "That doesn't mean you have to turn into eggs or something."
Joe calmed down, as Spider-Punk had to ask the question.
"Bruh, he's not worth the defense. Even if it ain't much of a defense." Hobie asked.
"Yeah, just didn't want Joe-"
The villainous dudes stepped in, as the Snowmen got back into an uproar thanks to Robotnik looking quite sour, Joe's flames of anger being stoked and the bad food.
"Hello, fellow campers. How goes winning?" Robotnik asked. "I see some of you are angry about my disappointing performance."
"Youse got some nerve pulling in here with a funny move." Popeye remarked.
Taskmaster silently rolled his eyes, as Bowser made the dissauding motion with his hand.
"And I'm one of those mother-" Joe shouted.
"Sorry for my mediocrity, which was definitely a two-man effort." Robotnik said. "It took two to tango and said tango led us both into some cold harsh waters."
Robotnik and Joe glared at each other with the intensity of a dude fighting against his shonen villain, which got the whole team to be quiet.
*Ken's confessional*
"All I'm saying is that if he doesn't step up dude's going to be turned into an egg. Which I'm going to find a way to hang out with 21 because she's pretty cool...to be with."
*MK's confessional*
She was baffled.
"I can't even laugh because these guys just managed to win and two of the major dudes are still beefing-"
And then she laugh.
"-Now, that's actually funny. Not as funny as when I'm going to beat of ya butts for real."
*Confessional cut*
In spite of their loss, they were just keeping on eating, most of them having their usual conversations minus two people who clearly didn't want to be sitting next to each other.
"...Uh, hello, we're talking about aliens here!" Sticks shouted. "Aliens that want to steal your mind."
"Oh, yes, mind-stealing aliens. Look at those three, tell me that is not an alliance or some kind of allied business." Natalya said, her eyes stuck on the villainous trio.
"They're definitely in one, but I don't think they're going to go far."
Sticks saw Robotnik got smacked down by Joe.
"Look at Eggman right over there, he probably ain't getting that far with an alliance anyways."
"I've heard about much worse people place high with a solid alliance in these kinds of shows from my sources." Natalya explained. "I will not say what they are, but apparently they are fans."
"Dang, you got superfans on your side or a buncha liars."
"Honestly, it's hard to tell from them. But there is definitely something going on."
Sticks and Natalya then saw Robotnik kinda out cold on the table, along with Emma, who looked quite interesting.
"Wasn't he fighting with Joe?" Emma noticed. "I dunno who's right, but I can't believe I just saw that."
"Uh, yeah." Natalya was apphrensive.
*Sticks' confessional*
"I'm starting that the Emma kid was brought on by the government to have their own Total Drama contestant, which is a dumb move, big government. She's a kid, she can't be that smart, I think!" She ranted on. "Not to mention, you put this kid on this evil show that may or may not have MIND-STEALING ALIENS!"
*Confessional cut*
The other ladies were there having a little bit of a discussion about one thing, minus three people.
"Where the heck did MK, Ermes and Mamizou go?" Undyne asked.
"The toilet. This food gives you some real big-" Sakura answered earnestly, as Undyne was about to throw up. "It makes you want to go to the toilet."
Undyne just shrugged.
"Anyways, ladies, we've gotta strengthen ourselves. We're now equal with the dudes and they just knocked out their weakest fella on the table, so we have to make our moves! Anyone want to be team leader?"
Ramona and Jasmine looked at each other, sure of one thing.
"I don't know about this team leader thing." Ramona asked apphrensively.
"Good because I'm gonna elect myself! I have determination, led a bunch of monsters and have a girlfriend!" Undyne introduced herself fully.
"Yeah, that's cool-A GIRLFRIEND?!" Ramona got startled by the fish lesbian.
"Yeah. What's wrong with that?!" Undyne slammed her fist on the table.
"Nothing, nothing. I was just surprised."
"I'm glad you're cool with that kinda stuff."
The whole team looked at the fish knight with an awkward look, mostly down to the aggressive attitude that the table knock prompted.
"Let's win, I'm taking us ladies to the top of the world!" Undyne declared. "All we need is a little love, power and DETERMINATION!"
"I get it, but why are you literally the loudest thing in here?" Lucy dismissively asked.
"BECAUSE I HAVE TO!"
"Great." Lucy couldn't help but roll her eyes.
"SORRY, MISS!"
Rukia looked quite convinced, while Lucy was right next to her completely unconvinced.
*Lucy's confessional*
"I don't know if it's just me, but I'm tired of the loudest people. Mostly because they are not smart like in the last challenge, at least Akiko gets me." She said.
*Confessional cut*
As for other things-
"CAMPERS, I've got a great challenge for you guys to deal with! Mostly deal with as it's the ultimate snowball challenge!"
-all of the ladies were reasonably concerned by Chris' announcement, since a typical challenge was more geared towards sadism, entertainment and putting his face on every construction.
Surprisingly, the area that the campers were finally led to thanks to some top-tier wayfinding and it being in the same field that the bikepark was previously in and immediately, they knew what game was happening.
There was two different snow-built castles, one representing each team and they even had coloured bridges that were passing over surprisingly-warm moat that circle a special neutral zone.
Chris and Chef weren't too mad about this, minus MK, Ermes and Mamizou ran in together with confident looks on their faces.
"How was the bathroom?" Lucy asked.
"It was far from quaint, practically made to assault the senses." Mamizou answered.
"Okay, great, I don't care about the bathrooms. Now let's move onto this simple challenge that you may or may not recognise-"
"CAPTURE THE FLAG!" MK shouted.
"-No, but you're too dang close. Today, both you teams are going to go to war with snow! Defend your castles with all of your might lest your treasure be stolen by your enemies! To win, you have to send snowballs to the opposing team through using your powers and abilities and try to catch your team's treasure! Then you have to send your treasure through this tube that was here before-"
"Was it?" MK interrupted.
Chris looked miffed.
"Yes it was, you just looked in the wrong place! Anyways, MK, first team to send their treasure down to the tube wins immunity and a special prize that is definitely worth keeping!"
The 16-strong teams were looking prepared.
"Oh and by the way, select your team captains!"
Undyne instantly stepped up, as Manolo looked at Joe and Robotnik invading each other's personal space for some reason.
"Guys, why are you staring at each other like that?" Manolo asked.
"Because we're establishing domiance over each other." Robotnik explained.
Manolo didn't look surprised.
"Wait, can I be team leader?"
A lot of thumbs were up, including Robotnik and Joe's.
"I will not let us Snowmen lose the challenge, even if it kills me!"
Manolo then stepped up.
"FYI, please don't die, dude. Get into your castles!"
*Manolo's confessional*
"I feel like I've made a mistake of some kind, but no matter what it is, our team could definitely win this challenge. That's how strong the Snowmen are, hopefully!"
*Confessional cut*
'
The Amazonians got into the somehow pink-tinted cold castle, surprised at the warmth of the place despite the materials it was made out of and taking the time to talk to each other, which wasn't really that hard to do.
Rukia got a weird look from Natalya.
"Why are you looking at me like that?" Rukia asked.
"Because you can shoot ice from your sword." Natalya said. "Last time, I checked you can throw ice with snow."
She had to explain it, as there were some of the ladies' eyes on her.
"Well, it's called a Zanpakuto. It has ice powers." Rukia told basically the whole team.
"Sweet, you can defend the treasure!" Undyne shouted. "Listen up, ladies, I'm gonna go charge."
"Well, thank you." Rukia stated. "I'll just go by the treasure."
"Yeah, you do you! Who else wants to team up with Rukia?"
Lucy surprisingly raised her hand up, so did Android 21 and Lolo.
"I just want to be-"
"Damn, Rukia, you're really popular! You guys better take the time to talk to each other! Akiko, scare their butts or something." Undyne commanded. "And who wants to join me and storm their castle?!"
"Heck yeah, I'm in!" Ashido shouted.
"Me too." Jasmine said. "I've got great sneaking skills."
"Well, Your Highness, let me be your backup. It's my speciality." Natalya said.
"Well, the more the better!" Undyne declared. "Ashido, me, Jasmine, Natalya and uh, Sakura are going to try and storm the guys' castle with our powers! Or lack of powers, but we're here to help our teammate out!"
"Hold on, you could've just asked!" Sakura didn't stop grinning.
"Well, sorry. Do you wanna do it?"
"DO I?!"
"Alright! The rest of you, get ready to throw some good snow. Akiko, seriously don't get distracted." Undyne said. "I don't wanna boot a dead kid out of the game."
"I've been in the underworld for 300 years, though." Akiko remarked.
"Yeah, LOSING'S NOT AN OPTION!" Undyne shouted. "LET'S GO, LADIES!"
Most of them cheered and the rest of them quietly backed up the louder campers and Sticks raised a fist with every other lady giving her a look.
"You know what they say? The men are actually keeping us down this time!" Sticks was very enthused.
"Yeah, I hope they won't keep me down." Lolo said.
"I bet they won't!"
*Lolo's confessional*
She looked anxious about one thing.
"If I can't stop those other guys, what do I do other than just try? But Klonoa taught me that I could do it!"
*Confessional cut*
On the blue-tined snow castle, the organisation of the team went much smoother if only for one more reason.
"Look, if it's okay with you fellas, I'm going to send snow to the other team and make 'em pay." Joe suggested.
"Sure, Joe, just try to not get involved in Robotnik's business." Manolo accepted.
"YEAH! Don't get into my business, Robotnik."
"Same to you, wheelchair wise guy."
"Hey, robot lover, just listen to Manolo."
"And that's what I'm doing..."
Manolo tried to put a death stare, but instead put on the disappointment stare, a much stronger stare that made the both of them back down and scoff at each other.
"Can I go storm their castle. Because I've got some flashy skills that they won't see them coming." Tengen said.
"Well, diamond man, I'm coming along, too!" Puss proclaimed. "I haven't really gotten to use my skills in the last challenge enough."
"No, I'm pretty sure you did. Nice skills, cat."
"Same to you, hermano. Hey, Nick, you wanna join us?"
"Well, I don't know, you fellows can move like the bloody wind." Father Christmas said. "I think I'll just-"
"Look, old guy, I'm sure that you're a little bit slow and fat, but maybe you have skills that are pretty cool!" Alberto told him. "Give yourself a chance, man."
"Well, geez, I'll go to the other castle. You know, moving isn't my cup of tea."
"Then we'll help you, we're a team first!" Alberto encouraged the Christmas-y guy. "Lemme join."
"I don't know about him, he's an old guy!" Popeye piped up. "And he don't want to do it."
Ol Saint' Nick then chuckled awkwardly, as Popeye looked at him.
"I don't know if he should come. Plus Bowser's really inrested and I think him being able to melt snow is really powerful, so Nick gets to stay here."
"Oh, thank goodness." Nick said. "I'm not much of a fighter if ya couldn't tell."
Bowser basically smashed him to the ground in attempting to pat him on the back and Popeye cringed at him.
"So, it's Joe, Bowser, Tengen, Puss, Alberto and me to storm the castle! The rest of you stay here to defend the treasure with our lives and Medic can heal us with...that thing. Well, let's go, Snowmen, we need to win this!" Manolo said.
"It's a Medi-Gun!" Medic shouted. "It heals."
"Good to know." Popeye readied his arms.
The group of six then looked ready, prepared to take the five girls that were ready to go on the offensive, staring at each other with the passion of warriors.
"Alright, now that's settled! GO, GO, GO!"
*Medic's confessional*
"I'm thinking of zituations where my gun would turn ze tides of battle and there are many, but I don't think zhey would happen here. Science is complicated here." He lamented.
*Confessional cut*
'
And immediately, the rest of the dudes that stayed were on alert, especially Popeye who took position right on the bridge without any discussion and weird looks.
"Mate, what do I do?" Nick asked.
"You help out whenever you can!" Popeye encouraged the old man.
"How?" Nick was baffled.
"In a unusual manner." Robotnik dismissively stated. "I'm just working on my snow weapons."
"You can stand right in front of the treasure, you're big enough to block it!" Axl shouted.
"Right." Nick immediately deflated. "I'll defend the treasure."
Axl got some dirty looks from Robotnik, Medic, Monoma and Red.
"Oh, I'm sorry, Nick!" Axl shouted.
"It's too late, you shouldn't have made that comment." Monoma scolded him. "Why would you even make that kind of comment?"
"I just wanted to help him." Axl spoke sadly. "By the way, the sickle can light itself on fire."
"Oh, neat. Why didn't you tell us that earlier?"
"Because I thought everyone knew!"
"Yeah, my apologies."
*Red's confessional*
He just simply facepalmed along with his charizard together, basically in sync with each other.
*Confessional cut*
While Axl was proving himself to be goofy, Ramona was somehow in the frontline of the defenders seeing a lot of snow being thrown around with reckless disregard.
Standing there ready to swing and seeing Ermes put a big ball of snow.
"Look, this isn't the time to make snowmen!" Ramona shouted.
"Shut up, bitch, I got a plan." Ermes said. "I won't tell you it because it involves duplication."
"Okay, I just asked you a question."
Ermes just held a giant snowball.
"Wait, I think I get it." Ramona said. "You're gonna-"
"The other team's got a real ninja, there's no way he's not gonna hear this."
Ermes and Ramona held an quick agreement to keep this stuff from Tengen.
Speaking of Tengen, he was throwing snowballs with a notable amount of force and it did manage to smash MK back into the moat with a few of them, who was trying to do her own thing.
"Holy [shaft, he can throw them like he means it!" MK shouted from the water. "Uh, what are you two doing?"
"Stuff."
Ermes and Ramona threw their big duplicated snowballs with that kinda force and immediately they just landed on the ground right in front of the cognizant ninja, who was side-stepped it.
Someone else wasn't so lucky.
"What's with the sticker?" Puss asked.
"Hold up, there's something wrong." Tengen said.
"It's a snowball, how serious could it be-"
Puss got the after effect of two snowballs smashing into each other after peeling off the sticker, being covered in snow.
"No frickin' way that she duplicated those snowballs!" Chris shouted. "Ermes went wild!"
"See nothing to worry about!" Puss shouted through the snow.
He then proceeded to leap at a random direction and got hit with that snowball from Undyne, who grinned at the snipe.
Popeye was throwing snowballs from the bridge and those snowballs were heavy hitters that somehow all of the ladies avoided.
It was like a cold war out there, though it was only literal compared to the metaphorical mess that made many snowballs just cover the field with the fastest of the attackers getting a chance to escape the snow rush.
Tengen shook off the snow.
"So unflashy." He remarked, as he crossed the bridge that was awkwardly raised. "They raised their bridge, huh?"
Chris and Chef were keeping good watch of the game that was happening below them.
"Can't believe that they found the controls without you saying anything." Chef announced. "I'm proud of these guys!"
"Are you really?"
"Nah."
Tengen stepped back carefully to avoid the wrath of the snow throwers and accidentally got ground pounded by Puss, who wiped the snow off finally and realised his problem.
"Hey, it was a snow accident." Puss casually remarked.
"Was it, though?" Tengen asked. "You could've just wiped it off."
"Yeah, I tried, but I did knock down one of the ladies."
Undyne was fully armoured, by the way.
Tengen and Puss looked at each other with a smirk, before looking to navigate the now fully raised bridge.
*Puss' confessional*
"I've gotta be honest, these ladies are real nice with the game!" Puss shouted. "These senoritas aren't making it easy for us senors to climb that bridge."
*Confessional cut*
As for the rest of the dudes, they realised where their controls were and guess who was in control of the thing.
"Hold up, since when you were controlling the bridge?" Taskmaster asked.
"What else am I supposed to do? I'm not just ze science man!" Medic proclaimed.
"Good argument. I'm a damn master of combat."
"...Really?"
Taskmaster already left, knowing that he had some pretty great combat for defending his ice castle and Medic shook his head at the "master of combat" ready to pull up that bridge.
Red was glancing at the snow battle on Lapras with a confident grin, as Taskmaster stationed himself carefully and Monoma was there.
"What are you so happy about?" Taskmaster asked. "Monoma, you weirdo."
"I don't know about you, but I feel like our team's going to do better." Monoma answered, somehow smugly.
Red raised his thumbs up.
"You're right, you're right."
Unsurprisingly, both bridges were suddenly awkwardly raised and most both teams decided this would be the only snowball fight that they'd ever have for the rest of their lives.
Basically, Joe was making snowballs like it was nobody's business and throwing them repeatedly towards Akiko for some reason and somehow, Sakura sometimes.
"You can't get away from me, ghost!" Joe shouted.
"Yeah, then why are you trying to hit me!"
"BECAUSE I CAME HERE TO WIN!"
Sakura then got dumped with an absurd amount of snow, as Akiko looked on in horror.
"Sorry." Akiko said.
"Actually, keep on dong what you're doing!" Sakura shouted from the snow, jumping from the snow pile.
Akiko and Joe looked at her in awe, as Bowser jumped at Sakura's height and decided to shoot a fireball at Sakura's small snowball and blew her right back into the ground.
The deep snow-covered ground that was melted, so she rolled back on the bridge, as Sakura got up determined, Manolo and Alberto looked baffled at how much damage it did and Chris and Chef.
"Whoa, Bowser just smashed Sakura back into the bridge by accident! And then got dumped into a snowpile of his own making!"
That actually happened, as Bowser took a breather and ate a few snowballs with Joe still swinging repeatedly with Alberto taking the side.
"Damn, did you have to do that to me?" Bowser asked.
"Yeah!"
Ashido couldn't really stop throwing snowballs, as Joe was getting a few, Manolo parried those snowballs and Bowser somehow was getting swamped by said snowballs.
The Snowmen were not making any inroads, as the Amazonians were having a solid time with Natalya trying to judge a good angle to jump on that bridge and counter-attacking with nice snowballs.
*Natalya's confessional*
"Of all the things in the wild, who knew that a snowball challenge would be the best use of my skills. They really know how to make a challenging bridge."
*Confessional cut*
She did get joined by Jasmine, who only had two hands to help.
"Well, we need to get the treasure inside their ice castle." Natalya said.
"Can you jump on top of my head?" Jasmine asked. "I promise that-"
Natalya took the opportunity and pounced on top of the princess' head near instantly before looking at the bridge for a second and taking a big leap onto the actual bridge.
"I promise that your moves will not be for nothing!" Jasmine shouted. "And you kinda messed up my hair."
"Your Highness, sorry about the hair." Natalya yelled. "It was unavoidable."
"Apology accepted-"
Jasmine then got hit by the cutest cat in the game.
"Fear me, Your Highness!" Puss declared. "If you dare."
"Where's the guy with the diamond headband?" Jasmine asked the important question. "Because I can't see him."
"He's up to team business!"
Puss then threw some snow onto Jasmine's face, as the princess just got surprised.
"And Jasmine's getting the snow treatment, hoo-rah! By the way, both castles managed to get infiltrated, prepare your defenses!"
Natalya, despite having not nearly enough strength to tank any of Popeye's attacks, easily flew over the sailor like it wasn't a problem.
"Listen, Russian lady, I-"
Popeye forgot his spinach and Natalya kicked him into prone, as the Russian found an alternate way into the castle.
But no-one could keep the sailor down.
*Jasmine's confessional*
She wiped the snow off her own face, as it just looked a little bit wetter.
"To be honest, I don't know why that was a surprise."
*Confessional cut*
Inside the Amazonian's castle, Tengen was carefully walking with his own two feet and realised that this place was exactly like the castle on the other side and then he heard the announcement from Chris.
Just there to be an massive obstacle to his attack, but he was a demon slaying ninja, he could handle some pretty strong and questionably co-ordinated chicks.
Like Mamizou, who slid right into his path.
"Hey, miss tanuki lady, let me past. So that I can get my boys to win this challenge." Tengen said.
"I will not allow that, especially since your fashion sense peers towards the gaudy and ostentatious." Mamizou spoke confidently. "And you dared to challenge a tanuki."
"Yeah, I did dare!"
"Well, that is a quite ridiculous dare."
The tanuki got to doing her best danmaku (read: shooting energy balls), as she floated just off the ground, as Tengen kept evading said balls without much problems.
Whatever wasn't dodged and didn't strike the walls of the castle, Tengen managed to deflect back to the tanuki, who was smiling at her potential plight.
"Alright, you've got some serious flashy moves. Now it's my turn-"
The whole squad of ladies (that were not on the main field) was paying attention to the flashy showcase of strength and flashiness, but so was Tengen.
"Fourth Form: Musical Score!"
Rukia was only inches away from stopping Tengen from blinding all of the ladies that paid attention to this, though she kept on sending ice towards him.
"Chris, can you even see this stuff?!" Chef exclaimed.
"Yep and Tengen's doing crazy things to the Amazonians with that one move."
Back in the castle, stuff got wacky as the good majority of them couldn't match up to the mess of an attack that Tengen was doing.
"Rukia, what are you doing-MY EYES!" Lucy Loud shouted, almost instinctively. "MY EYES!"
"Calm down, Lucy, it's not unbeatable." Rukia threw some good ice.
"This guy is the worst."
Tengen was literally running some good distraction by giving the ladies some serious eye-stroke while they were trying to get their hands on him and even Sticks throwing the boomerang back at the ninja couldn't help.
Mostly because it actually hit Lolo by accident.
*Lolo's confessional*
"That's a scummy move, that's a move that only a bad guy would do!" She then bumped into the wall. "I don't think he's really a bad guy, but that was definitely a villain move."
And then she bumped into another wall.
*Sticks' confessional*
"DAMN YOU, government-mandated strobe light only there to blind people for noticing the robo-aliens, damn you!" The badger cursed out the nonexistent agency. "At least the camera can capture this, governement losers!"
*Confessional cut*
'
As for Natalya, she crept into the castle to open it up to her teammates and she immediately noticed something weird about how the other half of the Snowmen were having a relaxing time.
And she made sure that she wasn't seen, hiding behind a random chair trying to slip past the motley crew of Taskmaster, Monoma, Axl and Ol' Saint Nick, though the ice made it much harder to not slip.
The weird situation was that they were all having a relaxing time and Natalya couldn't not get a scoop of the other team.
"Wait, wait, what happened to your girlfriend again?" Monoma asked.
"Mate, she got stuck in my time, while I got transported to the future. How is that hard to understand?" Axl insisted.
"Blooming 'eck, you've got one hell of a story!" Nick looked quite surprised.
"Yeah, it's almost unbelieveable, you would say." Monoma replied.
"But it's true, though! And I couldn't return to the past to get my girlfriend, too." Axl said.
"Uh, why?"
"Somehow it'd erase the future that I made a lotta friends in. Messed up, right?"
Monoma was trying to calculate some Guilty Gear lore, as Nick gave up on pretending that it was bullshit with Taskmaster keeping his eyes locked on trying to find a spy.
"Yeah, mate, how's your bird?" Nick asked.
"She's doing good! Got her into the future." Axl casually remarked.
Nick, Monoma and even Taskmaster and Medic widened their eyes.
"Wait, did I say something wrong?"
Popeye ran into the room with a serious warning.
"The heck are you guys talking about? The lady spy's in here!"
"Good." Taskmaster noted.
*Natalya's confessional*
"Can't believe that of all people, I'm one of the more normal contestants in this competition and my heart's betrothed to an alien. No offense, Crypto." She said, being completely flabbergasted. "And you're smarter than this Axl man."
*Confessional cut*
Natalya did slip on by despite literally slipping a few times and then she somehow ended up right in Taskmaster's sight.
"What."
Taskmaster sent her an arrow, as she rolled onwards and he kept on moving.
"I get the feeling you know my tricks." Taskmaster casually remarked, constantly trying to move into Natalya's close quarters.
"Well, is that a problem?"
Natalya got her answer from a solid kick, as Natalya tried to get to the control room with a smooth roll that led into a convenient slide that led her right near the control room.
And then she looked up.
"So, the ex-KGB spy finally shows up?" Robotnik asked. "What, you're surprised?"
"Not really." Natalya replied. "Not many things surprise me."
She got up to kick Robotnik in the face, as she started her fight to lower the damn bridge, though Popeye arrived to cause some serious trouble for her with the sailor punches that sent her back into the ground.
"Yeesh, could've held back a little." Popeye commented.
"Don't be sorry, she's already getting back up!" Robotnik shouted.
In the middle, it was complete chaos owing to the bridges getting low enough that you could quite easily climb into the opponent's castle, Tengen lighting the Arctic Amazonians' castle, Natalya and everyone in the middle ignoring that business.
Especially, Manolo and Undyne who were having a battle of their own, Manolo deciding to having a clear goal of real good snowball throws and Undyne using her spear to poke right through the snow, even doing few a good strikes towards Manolo, who could only dare to dodge.
"The two team leaders are having some kinda moment! A painful moment!"
"Why is this so crazy?!" MK shouted. "They're not achieving anything."
"You dare underestimate the power of having the whole team on your back!" Ashido said. "Also, it looks cool."
"I'm not even disupting that, just that our team got blown up seconds ago by one ninja."
"Alright."
Ashido started running as fast as she physically could, as MK was trying to be slick with Lucy Loud of all people.
"Hey, blind goth."
"I can see."
MK was taken aback.
"So, you got a problem or something?" MK asked.
"Fangs isn't here and most of these bats are robots." Lucy explained. "And also you."
"Dang, my reputation really does preceed me. Uh-"
MK got slapped in the face by Bowser, who had an opportunity and took it.
"Listen, goth kid, I don't know you're exactly liked by the team." Bowser spoke up.
"Wait, why do you wanna tell me this?" Lucy was suspicious.
"Because when's the last time you didn't talk to the ghost?" Bowser said.
"This morning. When I talked with my team."
"Bah, that's just simple stuff. Why not go out with a move that would make the team proud, you know going all goth and whatever." Bowser advised, almost mocking the elementary-school goth.
"Shut up." Lucy stated, holding her umbrella. "You're just a really cool-looking giant turtle."
"Okay, glad I distracted ya, then!" Bowser said.
"And Bowser switches up the game, giving the Snowmen an actual advantage!"
Lucy then left to see a whole different situation, as Bowser just laughed at the young girl for one very specific reason since the bridges were now fully lowered.
Her team wasn't actually doing too bad, though Natalya was struggling to lower her team's bridge without getting hit by Popeye and Joe and Manolo finally cut down Undyne with teamwork and distilled anger.
In contrast, the Snowmen were doing rather excellently, as the bridge to the other castle was fully lowered and some of the boys were actually going in, which got furthered by Lucy getting snatched by Bowser.
"So, uh, tell us where the treasure is or you're going into the snow and being completely white." Bowser said.
He did manage to get the Amazonian attackers on him.
"Never!" Lucy shouted, in a hilarious monotone fashion. "Why are ya doing this?"
"Because."
Bowser didn't really point to the dudes that were storming the Amazonians' castle, just that they were doing their own thing.
"Lucy, don't give it up!" Jasmine shouted. "It's not that serious."
"Wrong phrasing, miss, it's really serious." Sakura remarked.
*MK's confessional*
"I gotta say I respect what Bowser's doing despite the fact that he slapped me right into the cold. Takes some kind of cojones to just pick up somebody to distract their teammates! But I've got an alliance of my own."
*Confessional cut*
MK then got up to get back into the invaded Amazonians' castle.
Even with a single step into the castle, she realised that she might have been boned and it didn't help when her fellow alliance guy was running into her.
"Er, what's the problem?" MK asked, almost keeping it casual.
"What problems aren't there? The amount of them are not massive, but the men are running amok amongst this castle!" Mamizou explained. "Not to mention, they probably already found the treasure."
"Okay, that sucks. Lucy's stuck in Bowser's hands, though and-"
Mamizou instantly zipped towards the messy situation, as MK walked towards the dudes that were kinda stuck in Rukia's frozen trap.
With an unfrozen chest, Alberto and Manolo were somehow keeping it steady with their hands.
Popeye stopped Natalya from leaving the castle, even with only his arms.
"And the Snowmen are winning this challenge for once!"
"We could be boned!" MK said.
"Not with an attitude like that! Seriously, we should be able to easily beat them." Android 21 stated. "For obvious reasons."
MK rolled her eyes like she wasn't surprised, but Rukia's ice got broken by the ninja that started the invasion in the first place and of course, Manolo and Alberto were carrying the chest.
Tengen just...got it done.
"Don't let the chest bearers get away!" Android 21 kept on shooting beams that Tengen deflected. "And don't get distracted by the ninja."
"How? The ninja's doing stuff!" Lolo sent some spells towards Tengen. "And he's not even affected."
"Then I'm going to counter his stuff!"
"Android 21, no!"
Lolo looked prepared to stand her ground for longer, but she got completely blown away by Bowser's fireball.
MK had a big snowball and Lolo had some snow, but it was Bowser and he laughed in their face.
"Man, it's all but over for the Amazonians unless their ladies really step up their game! And they've got their chest as well!"
*Lolo's confessional*
She was looking quite burnt.
"Klonoa, how would you stop this guy?" Lolo coughed. "I tried my best..."
*Confessional cut*
'
As for the Snowmen defenders, they were doing rather nicely compared to the other team, even if the new arrivals of Undyne, Ramona and Ermes were mucking up their strategy.
"Oh my god!" Ken shouted.
Ken got bonked by Ramona.
"Damn, he dresses like a flashy guy. But shouldn't one of you be getting the treasure?" Ramona asked.
"Me?! What do you think I'm doing?" Undyne shouted, slowly pulling their team's unfrozen chest. "Come help us out."
"I would but-"
Ramona then got struck by Robotnik's only robot and smashed it easily, though it had fired a laser.
"-these guys don't stop trying to beat us up."
Ermes and Undyne were slowly carrying the chest.
"Be glad that whatever that Taskmaster and Popeye's doing, Natalya's actually handling it pretty nice. Ramona, help kick some ass!"
"What do you think I'm doing!"
Ramona smashed Robotnik right into unconciousness, as she then saw Monoma try to side-swipe her successfully leading to a final fight.
Ermes and Undyne then ran out the castle to see something quite terrible for their team, especially since a lot of the ladies were in the middle of getting up.
Popeye going rushing punches to rushing punches on Kiss immediately.
"Damn, you're fast!" Ermes shouted.
"I ain't that fast!" Popeye shouted back.
Joe wrestling Ashido, Puss attempting to scratch Jasmine and ending up making her dizzy, Tengen being an attack magnet of only Android 21 and a few others, Lucy getting pulled with two of Bowser's fingers and of course.
Manolo and Alberto trying to lift the chest up to the pipe's awkward height to win the challenge.
"And it's almost neck and neck, with Ermes, Undyne and also Natalya carrying the Arctic Amazonians' chest while the two dudes almost have it!"
"GRAAAHHHH!" Undyne summoned all of her determination.
"WE COULD DO IT!"
Alberto and Manolo stopped the ladies' momentum by dropping the chest into the tube, as all of the dudes watched victory land in their hands.
"THE STUNNING SNOWMEN WIN THE CHALLENGE AND YEESH, IT WAS CLOSE, TOO! The Amazonians have to vote off another contestant and it's not gonna be an easy one either! What do you say to that one, Chef?"
Chef collected his thoughts, as the Snowmen were celebrating their more morally questionable victory.
"I can't believe they stopped throwing snowballs at the last minute! That is all."
"Thank you, Chef! The ladies are not going to have a fun night!"
*Nick's confessional*
"Blooming 'ell, we were so close to losing the challenge and I don't really like the way that we won it. Can't believe that there's some real naughty people in here."
He looked conflicted.
"At least I did some good in here."
*Popeye's confessional*
He had a weird feeling.
"You ever felt like that you got cut out of an episode or something? Because I was right dere, giving her the full monty and no-one noticed!"
*Confessional cut*
The Arctic Amazonians were contemplating their options and Lucy was actually wondering something.
"Are you going to vote for me or not?" Lucy Loud asked. "Because I'm not gonna care that much."
"I care!" Akiko shouted. "Do none of you guys care."
"I got on this show because of a bet. How did my sister last so long?"
"She made it eight episodes into Ultimate Islands, I don't think it was that much longer." Ramona said. "Besides I think you did better."
"Do you even know who her sister was?" Emma asked.
"Think her name was Lynn, but you did better."
Lucy was could only roll her eyes, as the rest of the team were silently regarding their options.
"That is actually weird. She could've gone longer." Lucy said. "Nevertheless, my elimination's inevitable and you can't stop me."
Lucy could only deeply sigh, as Emma took her hand.
"Hold on, I think it's important that you deserve to keep on going because your family needs the money. Also, you're Akiko's only friend!" Emma attempted to encourage her. "So, you should keep going on for her!"
"I'm actually fine with her elimination. Especially since she doesn't look like she wants to be here." Akiko stated, as Lucy nodded. "Kinda sucks how she went out, though."
"But what about your family and your sister and Lynn?" Emma said.
"I'm not going to let you eliminate yourselves because you think I'm important. I talked with a ghost and that is more than enough for me."
Ramona and Emma looked undoubtedly displeased with Lucy's realistic attitude.
They were back at the elimination area.
"Arctic Amazonians, from two wins in a row to two losses in a row, kinda funny how it works! You know the drill by now, you get a marshmallow to keep on playing the game and if you don't get one, your game's over and you get to ride the Drone of Shame! Chef's gonna explain your misdeeds."
The 14 teammates were completely silent, as they were waiting for the inevitable result, as Natalya looked a little worse for wear and MK had some scratches.
"MK, you were kinda useless this challenge! Some people think you should be eliminated for that."
"Hey, I may not have superpowers, but I do have skills that I can't elaborate on. Lest I get kicked off and I've got plenty of game to play!" MK declared.
"Sticks, somehow no-one noticed you, also your personality sucks!"
"Yeah, that's what big government wants you to think. Also, what with-"
Sticks couldn't even finish her sentence.
"Lucy, you got captured, bullied and humiliated by Bowser! Not to mention, you accidentally caused your team the loss."
"It's not my fault that the cool turtle decided that I was his problem." Lucy stated. "Probably got my elimination planned out."
"Alright, Chef! I'm going to keep this simple, the people who is still in this to win this..."
...
...
...
...
...
...
...
"Natalya, Ashido, Orphan Emma, Ramona, Ermes, Mamizou, Lolo, Android 21, Undyne, Sakura, Rukia and Jasmine literally have no votes!"
MK, Lucy and Sticks were sitting nice and pretty for the game.
"MK, you're safe!"
Lucy was looking at Sticks, who was wondering how she didn't have many lines for this one.
...
...
...
...
"Sticks is safe, obviously! Lucy, somehow you've been eliminated and I don't know why you're selected!"
"I'm gonna keep it real. Lucy didn't do too well out there." Sticks explained.
"I know."
With a simple cut to white and a cut back to the drone that carried Lucy and Fangs, Chris made sure that she had a great shot.
"Honestly, best thing you've ever done." Lucy could have cared less, but she didn't care much.
The drone flew out of sight.
*Lucy's confessional*
"Could I have been on the show for way longer? Maybe, but I'm not interested in that type of stuff. At least I got to talk to a ghost and saw a lot of freaky stuff in here, that much can be said. I can't believe I'm saying but maybe this was worth something even if the challenges are not the fun kind of torture."
*Confessional cut*
"And we turn 32 players into 31 players and sometimes, they're not super spectacular or anything! Will MK's thingy do something other than be safe! Will Robotnik and his crew not be obvious bad guys? Will my hair get any worse because I've noticed that it has? Find out next time on TOTAL DRAMA: WINTER WARRIORS!"
To be continued in Episode 7, which means absolutely nothing to this episode's theme thanks to fighting above the sea with their own abilities.
