A/N: We head to the third and final portal! Let's see what those group of contestants are facing!
Reviews:
That guy: Just took a look at what you meant. I think I could have worded that better. I'll fix it whenever I get the chance.
Also did not know that about the Fairy Tail openings. Haven't gotten that far in the show yet.
Also, now that you mention it, I should probably do a lucky item tracker for him every episode that he's still competing in since that's literally an everyday thing for him like Mabel's different sweaters are, especially considering the fact that there isn't a guarantee he'll have a major role in every episode. Yes, he's that dedicated to those horoscopes in the show/manga lol. Something I probably should have did with Mabel's sweaters last season but didn't think about at the time.
Yourboy112: I appreciate it. With how many characters there were in the season I'm not surprised you thought it was going to be cancelled. Honestly, all it took was hard work and perseverance, both of which I apply for other things in life too. I've never been one to give up on things. Big reason why I'm not cancelling any of my other stories either regardless of how long they take. Believe it or not, having patience is something that's easier said than done.
As for a third season, I'm not sure yet. We'll see. There's still things I'd like to do outside of TD stories.

Contestants Here: Mr. Wolf, Richie and Virgil, Dwayne, Urien, Ayame and Ryoma(Power Stone), Toxsa, Reagan, Blaineley, Jenny, Karin, Julie, Launch, Randy, Molly, Scratch and Libby, Team JET: Kaz, Fiona, Diego, Myron and Shiro, Hailey and Scott, Johnny, Duncan, Zoey, Haizaki, Zak M, Hanamiya, Hinata, Kageyama and Tsukishma, Eijun, Miyuki and Furuya, Kunigami, Dan, Chris, Nimona, Bakura, Bass, Ruby G., Shawn and Jasmine
Everyone walked(or ran) through the portal with the exception of the robot companions of Team JET P.E.L. and Shiro's own robot Tsukikage, both of whom hovered along with Scratch. Beta, who traveled with Hailey and Scott was still back at the island in one of the bags Hailey had brought along.
Awaiting them was a man with silver side-swept hair, a goatee and purple sunglasses. He wore an exoskeleton over a purple suit and pants.
"Hey, you're Dr. Tezla from the Castle challenge." Richie said, recognizing him instantly.
"Correct. As he had just stated, my name is Dr. Peter Tezla. And welcome to the Ultimate Acceledrome." Tezla said.
"Ultimate Acceldrome huh? What happened to the original?" Kaz asked.
"The original was destroyed. An act done to rid the headquarters of the drones that invaded it." Tezla answered.
"Robots were trying to take over here huh? Not surprised." Reagan said before looking at Jenny and Bass. "No offense."
"None taken." Jenny said.
"Hmph." Bass said.
"I've got my eyes on you." Scott said to P.E.L.
"See? What did I tell you? It's already happened!" Shawn said.
"I'm not going to take over anything!" P.E.L. denied.
"Sure. Then the next thing you know, Chaos Bots are going to be all over the place!" Scott said.
"Chaos Bots? What are those?" Nimona asked.
"P.E.L.'s right. He wouldn't harm a fly." Diego said.
"I don't even know what Chaos Bots are but they sound awful!" P.E.L. said.
"Yeah, just know that they're bad news." Hailey said.
"Okay, but what about him?" Scott said, looking at Tsukikage who unlike P.E.L. could talk just like the others can, only made noises that could only be understood by other robots like him such as P.E.L. and his owner, Shiro.
"Tsukikage isn't going to hurt anyone either." Shiro said, not changing the stoic expression on his face.
"So why don't we hear him say it then?" Hinata asked.
"Because it can't communicate like P.E.L. can." Shiro said.
"So how come you can understand it then?" Scott asked.
"I can understand him just fine." Jenny said as Tsukikage was making beeping noises.
"So what's he saying?" Toxsa asked.
"He says I have no plans to take over the world." Jenny said before it started beeping again. "And before you ask, Shiro doesn't either."
"So it's like a robot to robot thing huh?" Eijun said.
"Hmmm." Eijun, Scott and Hinata all got together.
"I got it!" Hinata said as Scott and Eijun nodded.
"Shiro's a robot!" Hinata said, pointing at him.
"I am not a robot." Shiro said, arms folded as he closed his eyes.
"How could you even think that?" Fiona asked.
"Well it makes sense right? You can't understand him but he can?" Eijun said.
"Maybe it's because he's the owner? You are the owner, right?" Bakura asked.
"Yes." Shiro said.
"Ohhhhhhh! So maybe he has like a manual or something to understand him?" Scott said.
Shiro could only sigh as the rest of Team JET looked exasperated.
"Wow." Fiona said.
"Unreasonable….. yet somehow reasonable at the same time." Myron said.
"I know right? I never even thought of it like that." Kaz said.
"Not you too Kaz." Fiona said.
"There's one thing for sure, there are several people here with a lack of brain cells." Tsukishima said.
"Scott, I don't think that's how that works." Hailey said.
"Well, what other explanation could there be?" Scott said. "Actually, we can understand Beta just fine."
"Who's Beta?" Hinata asked.
"Just a friend." Hailey interjected.
"I can understand him, but I'm not a robot, okay? Is that enough for you?" Shiro said, a little bit of annoyance in his voice as he still kept the same face he had before with his eyes still closed.
"Just say yes. Please." Kageyama said.
"I don't know. What do you think Furuya?" Eijun asked.
"Huh?" Furuya said, being caught off guard hearing his name.
"You weren't even paying attention were you?" Eijun asked.
"No. Was I supposed to?" Furuya asked eyebrow raised.
"No. I honestly hate the fact that I was." Kageyama said.
"Don't worry about it." Bakura reassured Furuya.
"We were talking about if you think Shiro is a robot. What about you Miyuki?" Eijun asked.
Miyuki laughed a little. "Honestly, I'm not sure. But it would be interesting if so."
"Is he….. actually a robot?" Furuya asked.
Hailey, Kageyama and Karin all facepalmed.
"Morons! He is not a robot!" Dan said.
"You sure about that?" Shiro said, smiling.
"Wait a second, Shiro never smiles like that." Myron said.
"Uh oh. Looks like they were right. Shiro is a robot!" Libby said.
"Looks like you caught me." He said he had suddenly turned into X. This caused several people to yell before X laughed.
"The looks on your faces." X said before revealing that it was just Nimona.
"Except for you. Like do you ever smile?" She said to Shiro who tried his best to ignore her as he was trying not to get agitated.
"Wait you can shapeshift?" Scott asked.
"I know. Cool right?" Nimona asked. "Makes for some easy nightmare fuel for people."
"Wait, nightmare fuel?" Ruby G. asked, concerned.
"Yeah. Watch this." Nimona said.
"I don't think that's necessary." Ruby G. said.
"Hey, the rest of you guys are fine with it. Right?" Nimona asked.
" 'S cool." Randy said.
"Good enough for me." Nimona said before changing into Johnny Bravo and doing several poses.
"Say, you're not a robot either are you?" Johnny asked Blaineley. "Cause you sure don't smell like it."
This caused the real Johnny to raise an eyebrow before going next to Blaineley too on the other side of her.
"Twice the Johnny." Johnny said before both did the same movements including taking off the glasses.
"Man. I really am pretty." Johnny said.
"Thanks Johnny." Johnny said before both pointed at each other.
"Hey! Do me next!" Randy said.
Nimona changed into Randy before both did the same movements before Randy started dancing with Nimona matching his dances too.
"Dude, this has like so many possibilities! Think about it, you change into McFist and get all of his stuff destroyed. Although that would take some of the awesome McFist stuff too. Get into all of Bash's parties, and… *gasp* get school cancelled! Let's go!" Randy said.
"Hey, for the record, you really do smell nice." Johnny said to Blaineley.
"Of course I do. Who would I be if I ran a reality TV show and didn't keep fresh?" Blaineley said.
"Wait, you run reality TV? Like this show? Can you tell 'em to let me win?" Johnny asked.
"HEY! THAT'S CHEATING!" Eijun yelled, pointing at him.
"If that's the case, then what's the point of playing?" Furuya reasoned.
"Yeah, that's no fun at all." Kaz said.
"How are you even allowed to compete? For all we know you could fix the competition with Chris." Kageyama said.
"Unfortunately I don't run Total Drama. Chris does. And believe me, I have no intentions on working with him." Blaineley said.
"Well that's a relief." Kaz said.
"Still though, what exactly do you have to gain to enter if you already have your own show?" Karin asked.
"Easy. As the host of Celebrity Manhunt, there are bound to be fans that take an interest in watching." Blaineley started.
"Unfortunately for you, looks like none of them are here." Miyuki remarked.
"Heh. He got you there." Duncan said.
"As I was saying…." Blaineley said. "And by the way, you all could only hope to have as many fans as I do." Blaineley said.
"I'm sure I've got way more fans than you. And I'm not even trying." Duncan said.
"Fans? Team JET has that covered." Kaz said. "Right guys?"
"Yep!" Fiona said, posing. Toto, Fiona's pet which was a very small yellow rodent-like creature, also posed.
"Oh yeah!" P.E.L. said, posing along with her.
"I'd say so." Myron said.
"Mm-hmm!" Diego said, nodding.
"I could care less." Shiro said.
"Wait, do you guys really have fans?" Hinata asked.
"Yeah! All across Earth!" Kaz said.
"I'm not surprised. Even the Battle Brawlers have fans." Julie said.
"Then how come no one's heard of you?" Mr. Wolf asked.
"I mean to be fair, where we come from, wolves don't talk." Hailey said.
"I think it's because all of us come from different Earths. So our knowledge of things and history may differ from one another. What seems normal or irregular to some might be the exact opposite to others." Myron reasoned.
"That's a perfect way to put it. I guess in a way, we're all weird to each other in one way or another. But, that doesn't mean something's actually wrong with us." Zoey said.
"Okay, that makes sense. I was wondering why some of you guys were giving me these crazy looks." Reagan said.
"So wait, is there like a world where there's nothing but talking animals?" Scott asked.
"I can't say for sure. But it's not out of the question." Myron said.
"Hey, maybe there's actually a world where flying cars exist if they've got robots like them." Chris said.
"Too bad our world's not going to get it. And if it did, it'll probably be just like the movies. Or when that gym guy, who was actually a robot tried to kidnap and replace people." Dan said.
"Wait, the gym guy did what?" Reagan asked.
"He tried to kidnap people and replace them with robots!" Dan said.
"So that means…. any one of us could be a robot! Jasmine! You could be a robot! I could be a robot!" Shawn said.
"Trust me Shawn, I am not a robot." Jasmine said.
"What'd he do? Put 'em into pods?" Virgil asked.
"Matrix reference?" Richie asked.
"Yep."
"If you really want to find out if they're robots, just do the Spongebob test." Richie joked.
"No. He made them run on treadmills so they could run off our energy." Dan said.
"Yes. As crazy as that sounds, that was an actual thing that happened." Chris said.
"And to think the only people I thought were crazy were on my own team back at Seido." Miyuki said before laughing a little.
"Hey!" Eijun said.
"You should try dealing with these two on an almost daily basis." Tsukishima said, thumbing to Kageyama and Hinata.
"What was that specs!?" Kageyama said.
"Come on if you knew it wasn't partially true you wouldn't respond like that." Tsukishima said.
"If you're on the team with them and can deal with 'em you gotta have a little crazy in you too. Just saying." Zoey said.
"Mm-hmm!" Hinata said, nodding. "Wait…"
"You too. You just didn't do anything because you don't have the height to actually do something in a physical fight if you wanted to." Tsukishima said to Hinata.
"Can too!" Hinata said.
"Yeah. Maybe against that other small fry. Whatever his name was." Tsukishima said, referring to Monta.
"Oh please. I bet neither of you have been in a fight in your life." Kageyama said.
"And you probably haven't either." Duncan said.
"You wanna find out!?" Kageyama threatened.
"Or, how about we don't find out?" Molly offered.
"Actually I'm down for it. What do ya say Shoyo?" Haizaki asked, wanting payback for what he and Monta did to him back at the island.
"I didn't even realize he was here too." Hinata thought.
"Enough with the bickering." Urien said. "Doctor, what is our challenge?"
"Your challenge for today is a rather simple one, in terms of objective that is. You will be racing in the Water Realm." Dr. Tezla said.
"All right! A race! That's what I'm talking about!" Kaz said.
"Sounds fun! Where's the track?" Molly asked.
"Your track isn't here. Rather, in another world." Dr. Tezla said. "The Water Realm is one of the Racing Realms, different realms created by an Ancient race not known from this world: The Accelerons." Tezla said.
"So like aliens then?" Reagan asked.
"While alien would be a general term, that would be correct." Dr. Tezla said. "They created the realms to test a driver's skill, each one focusing on a different skill that drivers must master to win."
"Wait, real aliens? What do they look like?" Shawn asked.
"Forget the stupid aliens. On with the challenge already." Kageyama said.
"Yeah, I'd rather you skip the history lesson and let's go." Haizaki said.
"Driving master's my middle name. I've dominated so many racers in the arcade." Randy said.
"Except that this isn't a game. This is real racing." Shiro said.
"So I'm guessing the skill for this requires you to drive underwater." Fiona guessed.
"It's more than that. You'll see it once you reach the track. For now, you'll need these." Dr. Tezla said, handing them suits and boards. The suits and the boards were both blue and white.
"So we're goin' surfin'?" Johnny asked. "Cool."
"Hopefully we're not going underwater. Being a robot and all." Jenny said.
"That is exactly why you'll need to wear these suits. Even if you don't know how to swim, the propulsion system on the back will allow you to navigate through the water." Dr. Tezla explained.
"If that's the case then P.E.L. and Tsukikage should probably stay here." Myron said.
"Toto, once we go in you'll need to hang tight okay?" Fiona said to it. It nodded as it was on her shoulder.
"Why not just bring them back to the island?" Ryoma asked.
"That's a good idea." Ayame agreed.
"Now that I think about I wonder if my Power Stone would be able to work here since I can control water." Ayame wondered aloud. "Only one way to find out." She said before holding out her own blue Power Stone Gem before it glowed blue. "POWER CHANGE!"
She transformed into a pink rabbit-like ninja that had a large shuriken behind her.
"Now I'm ready for action!" Ayame said. "Hey Ryoma, why don't you try yours?"
"No thanks. I don't really feel it would be much help especially considering it uses lightning. Besides, compared to when Kraken used it I'm not sure if you have as much control over water as he did." Ryoma said.
"Hmm… you've got a point." Ayame said.
"Same thing applies for me. Not smart for me to try to use my powers if we're goin' underwater. Hopefully there's no surprises waiting for us." Virgil said.
"Woah! So cool!" Hinata said. "She's a real life superhero!"
"Aw shucks. I wouldn't really go that far." Ayame said, flattered by the comment.
"Big deal. I can control cryptids and no one's fawning over me." Zak M. said as he began to put on his suit with everyone else following behind putting on theirs.
"What's a cryptid?" Hinata asked.
"Sasquatch, Loch Ness Monster, animals like that." Zoey said.
"The things that people claim are real but were never proven to exist. Which they do. Government's just done a good enough job to hide them out of the public eye." Reagan said. "Also wait, you said you can control cryptids?"
"Yeah? What about it? And how do you know they exist?" Zak M. asked.
"Where I work, it's my job to know that. And thankfully, no one here is from my Earth. Otherwise, none of you would be here right now." Reagan said.
"Um, could you be a little more specific by what you mean by that? Because I didn't like the sound of that." Chris said.
"He means she would have called some agents in to take us away." Dan said.
"No she wouldn't!" Chris said dismissively.
"Would she?" Libby asked nervously.
"Relax. It's nothing you guys have to worry about. But if you really want to know, most of you would probably be taken away, possibly memory-wiped, all three of those kids would be taken in for questioning and Jenny and the other robot might have been taken in to be studied." Reagan said, the three kids she was referring to being Zak M., Nimona and Ruby G.
"That….. doesn't make me feel comfortable at all." Jenny said.
"It's the truth. Sometimes it's not comfortable." She said before pausing for a bit. "I should know." Reagan said.
"Wait, I just thought about something." Fiona said.
"What is it?" Jenny asked.
"If we're racing underwater, our machines are going to be all but useless." Fiona said.
"Machines? You mean like robots right?" Richie asked.
"No. These." Myron said, pulling out his machine, which was a small car that was blue with some white and red accents around it with a spoiler on the back shaped like a shark tail with sides that stuck out that looked like fins. Even the front of it looked like the mouth of a shark. Its wheel rims were also orange. This machine was called Storm Slazor, the evolved form of Slazor.
"So, a toy." Dwayne said, not believing that that was what they meant.
"You mean you guys race with toy cars and not actual cars. News flash, RC racing is not real racing kid." Mr. Wolf said.
"These aren't toys! Scan2Go racing is more than just that!" Kaz said, angered that they compared Scan2Go racing to racing with simple RC cars.
"Myron! You're the only one that'll be able to really race in those conditions. Show these guys what Scan2Go racing is all about!" Kaz said passionately.
"We're counting on you buddy!" Diego said.
"Thanks guys. You can count on me." Myron said confidently.
"Wow, Kaz sure seems passionate about Scan2Go racing." Hinata said.
"I know. I might not know much about it, but that's one thing I can for sure relate to." Kageyama said.
"Man. Kaz really reminds me of Dan in how passionate he is." Julie said.
Although it was subtle, Furuya was also silently smiling.
"Come on! I'm ready to start the challenge already! LET'S GO!" Eijun said, excited.
"You're almost always excited." Miyuki said, laughing.
"Calm down buddy. It's just racing. There's not much to really be that excited over." Tsukishima said.
"Of course there is! There's almost no other feeling that matches what's felt when you're on the track!" Kaz said.
"Except it's not you. It's the car. Right?" Tsukishima said.
"Yeah? So!?" Kaz said.
"Okay Kaz, take a breather and just calm down." Fiona said, stopping him from moving as she knew he was about to confront Tsukishima.
"Calm? I'm perfectly calm!" Kaz said.
"Okay Kaz, that's enough. Maybe a donut will make you feel better." Diego said.
"Donuts? You don't even have donuts with you!" Kaz said.
"I do. Back at the island." Diego said.
"Wow. Very helpful Diego." Kaz said.
"Why not give him a shot?" Hanamiya said, speaking for the first time since being in the Acceledrome which caused several people to turn towards him. "I don't see why not." He said, shrugging nonchalantly.
"You've got to be kidding. We can clearly see it's a toy and you want him to 'show us what it's about'? Are you f[censored]ing stupid!?" Kunigami said angrily, also speaking for the first time since being on the show, only giving Chris a wave as a gesture for a greeting.
"Hey, I don't think you need to go that far in calling him stupid. It was just a suggestion." Zoey said. "But no offense, what exactly can those things do to help? If they're machines, wouldn't they just short out in the water?" Zoey asked.
"Not exactly." Shiro said, his arms at his side, no longer folded. "Scan2Go machines are a little different compared to robots like P.E.L. and Tsukikage."
"Yeah? So what? Don't you get it? They're too small to even make a difference." Kunigami said.
"Hey!" Hinata said, calling out Kunigami.
"What do you want?" Kunigami said, turning towards him.
"So what if something's small? You think that's the reason why it won't make a difference? Size doesn't matter!" Hinata said.
"You say size doesn't matter huh?" Kunigami said. "Let me give you a reality check kid. That 'hard work beats talent who doesn't work hard' sh[censored]? Guess what….. those that are gifted and put in the effort will win every time against those that aren't, no matter what they do. You think a team would keep you around if they found someone taller that could do the same role as you with similar results? No. They'd throw you away. Throw your s[censored]tty underdog ideals in the toilet where they belong. And if you don't like it… then I suggest you grow a couple of inches. Which, last time I checked, isn't going to happen any time soon. Unless you try to take shortcuts. And if you do try that…" Kunigami said.
"Then you're even more pathetic than I thought."
Hinata was silent.
"That's not true!" Kageyama said. "So what if someone's taller and can give the same results? There's thing Hinata brings to the table that you can't physically see in a game or on a stat sheet!"
"He's right. There's a such thing called intangibles." Tsukishima said. "So what if he's annoying? Kageyama's annoying too. And he can act irrational at times. Among several other things that just makes me question his title as King. Though I guess it's because he doesn't like peasants like me."
"HEY! THIS IS THE PART WHERE YOU STAND UP FOR HINATA! SINCE WHEN WAS THIS A SLANDERING SESSION?" Kageyama yelled.
"Could you let me finish? Jeez." Tsukishima said.
"Oh. Please continue." Kageyama said, calm down.
"But guess what? You know why Karasuno keeps him around? It's not just because of his talent. It's because of his personality and passion. So let me give you and your misguided 'ideals' a reality check buddy." He said before adjusting his glasses. "You can have a really talented team but garbage morale and personality. That's gonna wear on you eventually. Not a matter of if, but when."
"I want to hear you say that when you start losing games. We're gonna see if that 'personality' is gonna come into play then. Or if you'll throw all of that out when you realize it doesn't get you anywhere." Kunigami said.
"I'm sensing some really deep-rooted issues right now." Molly said.
"Hey, somebody pass me the popcorn. This is getting' good." Haizaki said.
"The only issue is him!" Kageyama said, pointing to Kunigami.
"Maybe it's…. both?" Libby proposed, in a low voice, not wanting either to turn their rage towards her.
"Man. What Ego showed in Blue Lock about the guys there might have been legit." Virgil thought.
Hanamiya smiled. "Funny you call them just toys, yet you're willing to get in a full blown argument over ideals since they were brought up."
"Yeah? So?" Kageyama said.
"Since you guys are so passionate about these 'toy cars', how about we see what he's got with action, not words?" Hanamiya proposed. "The way I see it…..if he's that passionate about it I'd say let the kids show us what it's about. Besides, if it fails and it's not what's advertised… then it doesn't matter. Whoever finishes last is gone anyway." Hanamiya reasoned.
"Oh yeah, that's right!" Eijun said.
"Scott, we can't afford to finish last." Hailey said.
"Quick question." Nimona started.
"Yes?" Tezla asked.
"No, not you. That guy." Nimona said, gesturing to Hanamiya.
"You got somethin' to ask? Shoot. I'm an open book." Hanamiya said.
"Why do your eyebrows look like that? It's kinda weird." Nimona said.
Hanamiya raised an eyebrow a bit, confused.
"I don't know how I'm supposed to respond to that. I don't know. Was born that way." Hanamiya said.
"You know, his eyebrows do look weird. They look like tadpoles." Hinata whispered to Eijun.
"Anything else? That's….. not a weird question?" Hanamiya asked.
"Nope. I'm good." She said before turning into Hanamiya and wiggling his eyebrows.
The actual Hanamiya couldn't help but be amused.
"Hello? Challenge? Hurry up and start it already." Blaineley said, borderline demanding it as she was growing impatient.
"Usually, to enter the Racing Realms, you'll need to be going 300 miles per hour. The same thing will apply here. Which is why you have these boards. Take the track around. At the end, you'll reach a boost that…. as long as you are going in a decent enough speed, should bring you to 300." Tezla said.
"Although I would recommend that you don't use your….. machines yet until you reach the track." Tezla said to Team JET.
"But wouldn't it be better if he was already prepared?" Kaz asked.
"It's because of the large track size. If something goes wrong, Slazor could fall off the track and get damaged." Myron explained. "Trust me Kaz, I'll get the job done."
Although Kaz was still unsure, he nodded, putting his faith in his team member. "Alright. We're counting on you."
"Use your boards and head to the track!" Dr. Tezla said.
Following Tezla's instructions, they all got on their boards, which were hoverboards. They got on the track and advanced around the several loops in the track around the headquarters. Because all of them were following at pretty close speeds with the exception of a few, the intersections in the track weren't too much of an issue. As they got closer and closer a portal opened.
Johnny was about to overtake Blaineley.
"Hey there baby." He said before they got to a boost and suddenly felt a boost of speed that caught all of them, especially Johnny off guard as they all started to yell as clear helmet visors started to cover their face
"Slow this crazy thing down! Where's the slowdown button?" Johnny said as he was trying his hardest to not fall off as he was flying towards the portal.
Water Realm(Hot Wheels Acceleracers)
Everyone was suddenly descending slower than they expected, which caused several of them to stop yelling after realizing this.
"We're actually underwater!?" Dwayne said.
"Yeah. He literally said that we were going underwater. Were you not listening?" Mr. Wolf said.
"Yeah, I know that. I just didn't actually believe it! I thought he was just trying to scare us!" Dwayne said.
"If this is supposed to be a race, where's the track?" Bakura asked.
"He's right. There's nothing here." Ruby G. said, now in her kraken form.
Nimona was also a shark, who got in the face of Ruby, showing her teeth and scaring her. Nimona laughed.
"That's not funny!" Ruby G. said.
"Okay, okay I'll stop." Nimona said.
"You can turn into animals too?" Hinata asked Nimona.
"Yeah! Like I said, I'm awesome. But not as awesome as this. I mean look at you Ruby! You're a freaking kraken! That could work good as a night light too." Nimona said.
"Night light. That's it! Ruby, you can use your light to see." Myron said before yelling was heard by Eijun.
"Would you stop scaring people already!?" Fiona said to Nimona.
"That's not me. I'm right here." Nimona said.
"Then if you're there, then what was-" Fiona said before Ruby looked around and saw giant skeleton fish that looked like angler fish swimming around them which caused everyone to yell in horror.
"Ruby, find a way out of here now! Please!" Reagan said.
"Myron, do you think Slazor can handle water as deep as this?" Fiona asked.
"I don't know. I'd imagine it can handle more than what it could before it evolved, but it hasn't been in any water since then." Myron said.
"You did all of that hyping up over Scan2Go and it's useless down here." Dwayne said.
"I never said it was useless. There's no better time than now for a field stress test!" Myron said before pulling out a scanner card and swiping it across the slot that was located at the top of the machine for scanner cards to power their machines.
"Scan one!" The power stone on it, one that was completely different from the ones that Ayame and Ryoma used as they simply powered the machines, which was located right below(or above depending on your perspective of the car), glowed an aqua blue, indicating that it was powered up for use and that it had one turbo boost available.
Not willing to risk ruining his scanner card(as it may have already been ruined anyway from using it underwater), he quickly put it away in the pouch where his scanner card goes.
"Let's go Storm Slazor!" Myron called out.
A/N: Some of the cars in the show had their own themes. If the soundtrack for the show was ever released, Slazor's first theme would have played here. Think of a techno soundtrack to match Myron's analytical personality.
A light on the side of it, which resembled an eye, started to glow.
"For an analytical racer like myself, you need just an analytical car! Even in some of the roughest conditions, from wind storms to tornadoes, to underwater, if there's a track, Slazor can find it! And with this being a race, there has to be one somewhere!" Myron said.
"Kid, quit talking and just do it!" Dwayne said, getting nervous as the fishes were getting closer.
"I know I'm nice, but….. you don't wanna eat me. I was never into that type of stuff!" Johnny said to the fish that were getting closer to him.
Storm Slazor searched for a track. After a few more seconds, it detected a track.
"Alright! Ruby, follow Slazor!" Myron said.
Even though it was holding up well for a bit, Storm Slazor was still struggling moving with how deep the water was.
"Uh oh. The water's too heavy for it!" Fiona said.
"We're not out of it yet! Slazor! Cut through the water!" Myron declared. It's end, which looked like a hammerhead, changed to a point like a swordfish. It then used its one turbo boost to pick up speed and cut through current.
Ruby, seeing that Slazor was having no trouble getting through, followed the car, with the others following behind. Eventually, it got to a jellyfish-like structure that grew an air bubble around the top, enclosing all of them.
"You sure this is the right way?" Hailey asked.
Myron nodded. "I'm certain."
After a few seconds, the bottom of the structure opens which allowed everyone to fall to the track below, which was orange just like the track found in the Acceledrome. The track, and the drivers were encased in a glass tube, periodically having gaps in between but did not flood the tube.
"Looks like the info you got was accurate. And you seem very resourceful too. Very impressive!" Jasmine said, giving a thumbs up to Myron.
"Yeah. Nice one kid." Dwayne said.
"Well, looks like it was as advertised. Good job." Hanamiya said, smiling.
"Guys, stop it with the compliments. You're going to distract me!" Myron said, flattered, going on his board alongside Slazor, who was also still racing.
"Thanks! Now get outta the way losers!" Haizaki said almost knocking over Jasmine and others.
"Rude! This isn't just your track you know!" Jasmine said, not happy.
"Last time I checked it ain't yours either baby! But if one thing's for sure. First place is gonna be mine!" Haizaki said before putting his thumb across his mouth sideways, licking it.
"Baby? BABY!?" Jasmine said, angered.
"Jasmine, just calm down." Shawn said.
"Calm? I'M…. COMPLETELY CALM!" She said as they hydroplaned across a gap and she punched a fish that tried to eat someone Libby. "SEE!?"
"Thanks?" Libby said.
"It's alright. So what if we don't get first? We're still doing pretty well." Shawn said as Jasmine was still breathing hard. "Jas-mine?" He whimpered out.
"It'll be alright once he gets a bath!" Jasmine said before speeding forward to try and catch up to Haizaki.
"Uh oh, better keep an eye on her." Shawn said before passing through some of the others. "'Scuse me! Sorry!"
"Wait, that thing's still going?" Richie asked Myron after noticing it beside Myron as it perfectly hydroplaned along with him.
"Yeah. Even if this is larger than a Scan2Go track, Slazor can still race on it just fine!" Myron said.
"And you don't have to get it to do corners or anything like that?" Bakura asked.
"Nope. Scan2Go machines all have a spirit inside of them, which the stronger the bond between a racer and its machine, the stronger both of their spirits are in a race. They can do all of that on their own without needing to say anything." Kaz said.
"I guess you could say Slazor and I are in perfect sync with each other in spirit. If that makes sense." Myron said.
"It's hard to really explain in words, but I get what you mean." Kageyama said.
"The fact that it's capable of doing all of that on its own is so cool." Zoey said.
Suddenly two dings were heard in their helmets.
"What was that?" Julie asked.
"Oh no. No no no no no. NO!" Duncan said. "Darn it! I was really hoping he forgot!"
"What? What's going on?" Zoey asked.
"We're about to sing a song." He said before putting his hands in his face. "Why?"
"Singing's fun!" Molly said.
"For you maybe." Duncan said. "I don't sing."
Go by Mark Mrdeza plays
*The initial guitar solo starts*
"Looks like the path's forking." Myron said.
"Myron, you take the lead. We're right behind you." Kaz said.
"You've gotten us this far. Go for it!" Ruby G. said, giving a thumbs up.
"Couldn't have done it without you too." Myron said.
"But let's do this!" Myron said.
"Uh uh. I'm takin' my chances. Maybe then I won't have to sing." Duncan said, taking another path.
Urien, Dan, and Toxsa also took that path.
"Shortcut? Secret area? We're gonna find out." Toxsa said.

She punches Haizaki and knocks him off the board.
Haizaki: When I hit the ground I hit it running!

*Brief guitar solo plays*
As the guitar solo plays, although everyone, except for Furuya, Kunigami and Shiro was smiling, they all knew what was at stake and tried their hardest to not be last, blocking each other from passing, speeding up to try and overtake them among other things.
Bakura: Tell a doctor

*Longer guitar solo plays*
"First place here I come!" Jasmine said as they all got out of the water and were now above the surface. Though the track was still surrounded by water. In the distance, the portal out could be seen.
"HIIIII-YA!" Blaineley said, chopping her out of the way.
"Did you really think you'd win first place?" Blaineley said before laughing before being hit by Karin.
"And who says you were taking first?" Karin said.
"Easy. I did!" Blaineley said before attacking back, though Karin countered it perfectly.
"Heh. Is that all you have?" Karin taunted before Reagan was heard going past them.
"Ha!" Reagan said before giving both of them the middle finger.
"Come back here!" Karin and Blaineley both shouted.
Blaineley and Karin: Can't fight a battle with your hands in your pocket!
Reagan: Better duck 'cause I'm faster than a rocket!
Johnny: *Yelling as he was being launched from a Dragster hyperpod in the air. The hyperpod was red-orange and was a vehicle transformer left behind by the accelerons to assist drivers should they be skilled or vigilant enough to find them. Though in Johnny's case, he found it by accident after being punched by Bad Launch.* Better be out looking or you'll never see me comin for sure!
Haizaki, Ruby G. and Team JET: *in awe at Johnny* When I hit the ground! I hit runnin'!
Blaineley and Karin: *Both in utter disbelief as Johnny flew right over their head before landing perfectly and striking a pose as he got past both of them* Go! Go!
Reagan: Go! Go!
Johnny was starting to catch up to Reagan.
Johnny: With the pedal down and the engine pumpin'!
Reagan noticed this and tried to speed up.
Reagan: Go! Go! Go! Go!
Johnny: It's all I want!
Reagan: It's all or nothing!
Johnny and Reagan: Go! Go! Go! Go! Go! Go! Go! Go!
The two were starting to reach the end.
"No! I refuse to lose!" Blaineley said before bumping Karin out of the way before Karin countered her again and tossed her off the board.
Karin proceeded to try and boost her way to the finish and catch up.
Johnny and Reagan: Go! Go! Go! Go!
Karin: Go! Go! Go! Go!
They were rounding the last corner before they got to the ramp to where the portal was.
Johnny: Go! Go! Go!
Johnny, Reagan, and Karin: Go! Go! Go! Go! Go!
Johnny fell through the portal first but his glasses fell off. When he fell into the ball, he accidentally broke.
"I won? I won!" Johnny said surprised before clearing his throat when Blaineley and Karin showed up behind him. "I mean, I knew I'd win. Ain't that right ladies?" He said to Blaineley and Karin who rolled their eyes, moreso because they were unhappy that they lost. He noticed that his face felt strange before reaching where his eyes were. "Oh no!" He said before picking up a broken piece of his glasses.
"NOOOOOOOOOOOO! I won! But I lost too! How is that even possible man?" Johnny said in agony.
Everyone else fell through the portal next. But because of the cluster of people that fell through, it was impossible for anyone to know who was last.
Launch fell on Haizaki's lap. "Well lookie what I-" He was then punched in the cheek.
"Buzz off!" Launch said before getting off, though there wasn't much else to go considering they were in a ball.
"Hello? Someone help! Get me out!" Jasmine said, desperately trying to get out.
"What's the matter with her?" Kaz asked.
"She's claustrophobic! Chris! Get her out!" Shawn said.
"Please!" Jasmine said.
Ding Ding
"Chris! Someone just said they're claustrophobic and you want to do a song!? What is wrong with-" Courtney said before they were suddenly launched. "-youuuuuuu!?" Because the balls weren't see-through, she couldn't tell who it was, but the cannons were close enough for them to be able to hear what was going on.
Total Drama Theme Plays
Owen: Dear Mom and Dad I'm doing fine!
Duncan: You guys are on my mind!
Heather and Alejandro: You asked me what I wanted to be and now I think the answer is plain to see!
Cameron: I wanna be famous!
They went up a ramp and was sent over to Pahkitew Island where one of the robot animals on the island, which was a bear, roared and swiped at all of them, with everyone yelling in horror as they all heard a bear roaring before they were moving again to another portal as they were blown by a strong wind from the artificial weather from the island via Chris.
Zoey: I wanna live close to the sun!
Shawn and Jasmine: Go pack your bags, 'cause I've already won!
Luz: Everything to prove nothing in my way!
MacArthur and Sanders: I'll get there one day!
Priya: 'Cause I wanna be famous!
All Total Drama Veterans from previous seasons: Na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na!
Chef blew a very strong fan to send them up the thousand foot cliff.
All Total Drama Season Winners: I wanna be, I wanna be, I wanna be famous!
They fell through the portal, going through Marzipan City as the King of the Sky looked at the three balls, confused as they disappeared, just as fast as they came, going through another portal, this time to the Hinterlands, and again past a rooftop on Colorado that had a helipad on it.
All Total Drama Newbies: I wanna be, I wanna be, I wanna be famous!
They fell through one final portal as they all fell back down to the unknown island like meteors.
Everyone: *Whistling I wanna be famous as they were all dizzy*
Chef opened each of the three balls as they were sprawled out on three circular rugs.
"Yo! Weclome back guys! Hope you had fun!" Chris said.
"Fun? That was terrible!" Natsu said, sick.
"Absolutely!" Tangle said.
"If this is what all of the challenges are gonna be like I'm in!" Axl said.
"Of course you are." Zero said, arms folded before noticing he couldn't move his feet.
"What the- Chris, I can't move!" Heather said as all of their feet were tied to the ground.
"The hell's goin' on?" Kagami asked.
"You're not going to move. You're stuck until I press this button." Chris said.
"Heh, we'll see about that." Bass said, charging a buster shot about to use fire to get rid of the shackles.
"Actually, no we won't. It's fireproof. And static electricity proof, among other things. And even if you do, if you intentionally try to get out, you're automatically disqualified." Chris said.
"Seriously?" Natsu asked.
"Does it look like I'm joking?" Chris asked.
"I suppose you have an explanation for this?" Sebastian asked.
"Yes. Please tell us." Akashi said.
"I'll get to that in just a bit." Chris said.
"Hey uh Chris?" Aomine said.
"What's up?" Chris said.
"Yeah uh, Lucy's panties are like staring at me and Yang's boobs are like on top of my head. It's kinda weird." Aomine said nonchalantly, pointing to each as he was on the ground.
"WHAT IS WRONG WITH YOU YOU PERV!" Lucy and Yang said simultaneously as Yang caught him in a neck lock.
"HELP!" Aomine said, slowly losing air reaching his hand out as Kise watched with an exasperated look on his face, not sure how else to react.
"As much as I like seeing that idiot get what he deserves, he doesn't deserve to die." Rally said.
Chris temporary releases the latches to let everyone get up.
"Yo Daiki, you're one lucky guy. So how was the view?" Haizaki asked before being slapped by Ayame.
"Damn that was one hell of a slap. Got yourself a strong girl Ryoma." Haizaki said.
"It'd be wise for you to be quiet." Ryoma said.
"Dumba[censored]." Aomine said, closing his eyes.
"Thanks." Lucy said to Ayame.
"Anytime. But jeez are the Generation of Miracles just a bunch of perverts?" Ayame asked.
"Don't be ridculous. Haizaki may have been on Teiko with us but he's no Miracle." Midorima said, adjusting his glasses, genuinely sounding offended that she even said that.
"Besides, I was just stating a fact. I wasn't even trying to look." Aomine said.
"Yeah right." Lucy said.
"But seriously, calling all of us perverts because of what Aominecci and Haizaki said is seriously unfair. And kinda hurtful." Kise said.
Lucy sighed. "I guess you're right. Akashi and Kuroko seem nice and Midorima isn't half bad either."
Kise slumped in sadness. "And I'm forgotten. Again. Even more than Mayuzumi."
"Kindly leave me out of this." Mayuzumi said.
"Oh! Sorry! You too Kise!" Lucy said.
"As I was saying, what you guys just experienced was a taste of what the entire season will look like. You'll be travelling different locations from across the world, the multiverse, and even to good old Camp Wawanakwa and Pahkitew Island!" Chris said.
"More like this is just you trying not to blow your entire budget on an entire season of travelling places, so you want some of it to be on the islands." Noah said.
"If they're there, why not use them?" Chris said, shrugging.
"Dude, the camp sucks. What part of that don't you get?" Duncan said.
"But camping's fun! Roughing it up in the outdoors, making friends," Molly said before sighing. "I can see it now."
"Yep! Same here!" Huey D. said.
"Boy do I have news for you two." Duncan said to Molly and Huey D.
"If I wanted to do that I'd sign up for a summer camp. Last time I checked, this isn't a summer camp. It's bad enough I have to be around this a[censored]wipe. Now you're askin' me to sit around a campfire and sing songs? Hell no." Aomine said, referring to Hanamiya.
"I've barely done anything wrong. And neither has Molly here. She's only trying to bring us together." Hanamiya said.
"Yet." Aomine said.
"Now where have I heard that before?" Sly said.
"I'm not sure what past history you guys have, but if you two used to be teammates, you can work it out I'm sure." Ruby Gillman said.
"Teammates? With him? Don't make me laugh. I was never teammates with that guy." Aomine said.
"He's right. Unfortunately. We go to two different schools." Hanamiya said.
"Exactly what I'm about to talk about next. Teams! All of you are standing in three mats. Each mat represents a team. So whoever you're standing with, they'll be your teammates! That's right! Returning from World Tour, you'll be split up into three teams!" Chris said.
Courtney and Heather realized they were standing on the same mat. "What!? I have to be on the same team with her?" They said simultaneously, which caused Duncan to laugh.
"That's not funny!" Both said simultaneously. Blaineley started to laugh as well.
"Alright, now you ruined it." Duncan said.
"What? I can't laugh. I genuinely find it hilarious." Blaineley said.
"Wow, so we're on the same team as baseball players, a samurai and robots! Awesome!" Scott said.
"So this is our team huh? I can't wait to start our first challenge!" Eijun said, balling his fist in excitement, grinning.
"Chris, I refuse to be on a team with her." TD Heather said.
"Don't you remember the last time we were on the same team?" Courtney asked.
"Yeah. I do. And I don't care." Chris said. "However, I will allow for trading. You can only make up to 4 trades. If you change your mind and trade back, that counts as another trade so keep that in mind."
"I get to be on Kurokocci's team!" Kise said excitedly, jumping for joy.
"So it looks like we're gonna be on the same team again. Just like Seirin." Kagami said to Kuroko who gave a slight smile.
"Yes. I'm excited." Kuroko said.
"Yep. Definitely sucks that I don't get to play with Tetsu. But, it's cool. I can work with this." Aomine said, standing on the same circle as Courtney, Heather, Midorima, Sebastian and Akashi among others.
"Long as I'm not on the same team as that loser I don't care." Zak Monday said, referring to his matter counterpart, Zak Saturday.
"Would you look at this. All of the cats on one team. Purrfect." Adrien said.
"If I gotta listen to stupid cat jokes the entire time I'm here…." Kagami said as he was on the same circle with Adrien as Rocky laughed at the joke.
"I guess that's one thing we can agree on." Albedo said.
"The hell? He's actually right." Rick said, referring to Adrien pointing out all of the cats, cat-themed, or cat-named/nicknamed contestants all on one team.
"Puss, Adrien, the Gunsmith Cats, Blaze, Happy, Sendo, Rocky, Kagami. That's a total of 8! Implausible, but pretty interesting." Becky Botsford said.
"A magnificent team!" Puss said, also being on the first circle with Adrien, Kagami, Rocky and Albedo.
"Alright! If you guys wanna make any trades, you can do so now." Chris said.
"Trade with me!" Heather said.
"No me!" Courtney said.
Hiruma whispered something in Kurita's ear along with Sena and Monta's.
"I asked first!" Heather said.
"By the way, it has to be a mutual acceptance. If one of you says no, then it won't go through." Chris said.
"Um, excuse me. Ruby Rose, do you want to trade with us?" Kurita asked. Mamori gave Hiruma a look but decided not to say anything.
"Sure! Okay!" Ruby said as team RWBY along with Mamori and Kurita both went to the other team.
"WHAT! YOU F[CENSORED] DUMBA[CENSORED]!" Hiruma shouted. "TRADE BACK!"
"S-sorry!" Kurita said.
"Hey, it's okay!" Ruby Rose said.
Hiruma began kicking Kurita. "F[CENSORED] FATA[CENSORED] DUMMY! WE NEED TO BE ON THE SAME-"
"Um, Ruby Gillman, can we make a trade?" Eyeshield 21 AKA Sena asked.
"Are you sure? He doesn't exactly seem too happy about the last trade." Ruby Gillman asked, referring to Hiruma, who was now swinging around Kurita like a rag doll before he stopped. "Man-Pig, since you want to be traded so bad. Go ahead." Hiruma said to Kurita.
"B-but-" Kurita said.
"GO!" Hiruma repeated.
"Wow. That's kinda mean." Luz said.
"Mean? He asked for the trade." Hiruma said.
"I'm fine with it. Come on Kurita. Maybe this'll teach Hiruma to cool off." Mamori said as Kurita looked as if he was about to cry.
They walked over to each other's circles again. "You know what? I'm going to be on your team anyway, since you don't want me!" Kurita said.
"That's the spirit! Stand up for yourself!" Luz said.
"Hey, I'm fine with the trade back if it means seeing that." Ruby Gillman said. They walked back to the circles.
"Wait. NO!" Courtney and Heather said.
"That's all of the trades!" They said simultaneously again.
"Stop copying me!"
"Now, now ladies, calm yourselves, we still have a pretty good te-" Alejandro started.
"Shut up!" Both said again before Courtney looked over at Hiruma who oddly didn't seem upset. He then started to cackle deviously.
"Wait. You didn't." Courtney said.
A grin appeared on Hiruma's face.
"You did that on purpose!" Courtney said.
"UGH! Thanks to you I'm stuck with her!" Heather said before Hiruma started to laugh.
"That's not funny!" Heather said.
Todd started to laugh too.
"Todd, they're on the same team as us." Riley said.
"I know. But it's still funny." Todd said, still laughing.
"Hope you enjoy your company together! Ya-ha!" Hiruma said. "I watched Total Drama before I got here so I know all about you two. Enjoy!" He said before laughing again.
"Laugh now, but I'll wipe that smug grin off your face!" Heather said.
"Chris! Please! Just one more trade!" Courtney said.
"Just put me on the team with Duncan! Let Courtney deal with Blaineley!" Heather said. "Just get me off this team!"
"What? Why do I have to deal with her?" Courtney said.
"Because I won a season. I get the privilege of not having to deal with her." Heather said.
"I'll have you know I'm feeling very offended by this. I'll make both of you suffer! You hear?" Blaineley said as all three started to argue.
"Why are you even here!?" Heather shouted.
"Would all three of you just shut up!?" Isagi blurted out which surprised everyone including Heather, Courtney and Blaineley.
"Excuse me!? Who are you?" Blaineley said.
"Does it really matter? With how you three arguing, I could crush all of you singlehandedly." Isagi said.
"What!?" All three said simultaneously.
"Yeah. I said it. So what if I'm a 'nobody that just plays soccer'? I don't care. I climbed my way out of being the second worst player in Blue Lock out of over 300 that came to the facility to compete against each other. All of them had hopes to compete in the World Cup for Japan just like me. And many of them, when they were eliminated, permanently lost that right for good. Their soccer careers, their dreams, crushed. I'd say I was one of the culprits for some of those people too. I climbed to number 1 at one point before more players came in and Ego shook things up by bringing in players from around the world, and starting the Neo Egoist League. Seeing all those talented players that were better than me only made me want to improve even more." Isagi said.
"And I'm still trying my hardest to keep up with everyone else. But with how you guys are acting? Compared to everyone at Blue Lock. From Bachira, to Kunigami. Yeah, don't think I didn't notice you despite you giving almost everyone here the silent treatment." Isagi said, the last part to Kunigami who only grunted at him.
"They'd crush you. Even the worst players at Blue Lock look like wolves compared to puppies like you. And they'd eat you alive without a second thought." Isagi said, which left everyone speechless.
"Things got intense real fast didn't they?" Miyuki said, trying to break the awkward silence.
"Look, I'm sure we've all got things to bring to the table. But guess what? It's done. It's pointless to argue about it or complain about trades now. How about instead of complaining about the hand you've been dealt you actually take a good look at it? You might be able to turn it into something better with a bit of work." Isagi said.
Hiruma grinned.
"He's got a point. Maybe you should spend time complaining and more time figuring out what you're going to do to contribute to the team yourselves." Paul said to Courtney and Heather.
"Alejandro's right. Isagi too. From where I'm standing, this team looks pretty solid." Maki said.
"As long as you've got me on your team, you've got nothing to worry about. I'm the Ace of the Generation of Miracles. In other words, the Ace of Aces." Aomine said confidently.
"Excuse me, since when did you automatically become better than the rest of us?" Midorima asked, annoyed.
"What am I chopped liver?" Zak S., Ben and Rex said simultaneously.
"Well that was weird." Rex said.
"The kid's right." Din said, being only the second time he's spoken while on the island. "If you're that good I'm sure we'll get to see it." He said to Aomine.
"Yeah. You sure will." Aomine said, a confident grin on his face.
"So confident. I can't wait to see what you can do." Eliza said.
"You've all got monsters in you. Especially you, you, you, you and you." Bachira said, smiling as he pointed at Eliza, Sebastian, Midorima, Akashi and Aomine.
"Monster? No. I'm simply one hell of a butler. That is all." Sebastian said, smiling.
"Heh." Aomine said, smiling at Bachira's comment.
"You have no idea." Eliza thought while laughing.
"Hmph." Midorima said, pushing up his glasses.
"I don't have any problem with what that kid said earlier about you three." Jotaro said before pointing to Courtney and Heather. "You want to win, right?"
"Yeah, duh." Heather said.
"Of course I want to win!" Courtney said.
"Then start taking the steps needed to get to that point!" Jotaro said. "And last time I checked, complaining ain't ever got anyone anywhere! I could have sat sulking as my mother slowly died because of Dio's return. But guess what? I didn't and beat the ba[censored]d and saved my mother! NOW GET UP OFF YOU'RE A[CENSORED]ES AND QUIT FEELIN' SORRY FOR YOUSELVES! The last thing this team needs is dead weight."
"Couldn't have said it better myself. Shape up or shape out!" Skipper said to Courtney and Heather before slapping both of them.
"Was that necessary?" Courtney asked.
"I did it to get you guys' attention. Looks like it worked." Skipper said.
Ryoma Echizen tipped his cap confidently.
"Don't worry. I have a feeling we'll do just fine." Ryoma Echizen said
"This team looks good to me. I believe in what we got." Huey Freeman said.
"Trust me, you're in good hands." Louie and Mona said at the same time before both looked at each other.
"Yep! You've got a junior woodchuck on your side!" Huey D. said.
"Is that a good thing?" Courtney asked.
"Yes!" Huey D. said.
"Now let's get to the team names!" Chef said before going to the first team.
"Team 1! You're going to be named the Radical Rats!" He said, handing them a yellow banner with a rat on it that was using a skateboard.
"Pretty ironic." Becky said.
"Yeah. That's why I changed it. I thought of going with Hedgehogs but changed it to rats after seeing that happened." Chris said.
"Team 2! You're going to be the Storm Kings!" Chef said.
"Named after the regalia and titles of one of the best A-T riders in East Side City!" Chris said.
"Team 3! You're going to be the Wave Breakers!" Chef said.
"Based off of the team Vert led in the World Race!" Chris said.
"Just sounds like you wanted to use Wave Rippers but couldn't." Kurt said.
"Copyright?" Scott asked.
"Something like that." Chris said.
"Alright! There's three ships! Head to those and we'll get going! And don't worry Team JET! I've got someone coming that'll take a look at your bus and try to get it fixed." Chris said.
"Thanks!" Kaz said.
"Thank you so much!" P.E.L. said.
"No problem! Now you can repay me by doing me a favor and not destroying any of the cruise ships! I'm serious! If any of you destroy the ships you're automatically eliminated! No questions asked!" Chris said.
Everyone started to get on the ships though Isagi went to where the Wave Breaker's ship was.
"Hey! Kunigami!" Isagi called out.
"I see Blue Lock sent you here too." Isagi said before reaching out his fist for a fist bump. "Let's have a good game. Just so you know though, I've got not plans of losing to you. And neither does Bachira." He said, with a friendly smile.
Kunigami, using his own fist, pushed Isagi's away.
"I'm only here for one reason. To crush you and everyone else here. Get the hell outta my face with that friendly bulls[censored]." Kunigami said before getting ready to walk away.
Isagi was shocked for a couple of seconds before saying, "Good luck with that. Because like I said….." Isagi started with a more serious look on his face before his eyes looked as if they were on fire. "I have no intention of losing to you or anyone else here. So bring it….. fallen hero."
Isagi went to his own ship. As Kise was finishing up talking to Aomine as they fist bumped with a smile on their faces, he bumped shoulders into Haizaki.
"My bad Ryota." Haizaki said.
(A/N: This whole exchange happens without either turning around to face each other until at the end)
"For your sake, I hope you keep a grip on that attitude or you're going to be out of here in a flash." Kise said, knowing that the bump was on purpose and that Haizaki was lying out of his teeth when he was "apologizing".
Haizaki stopped. "Huh? Attitude? I don't know what you're talking about." Haizaki said, shrugging. "You're the one with an attitude here. I was just apologizing. You heard Molly. We're all friends here."
"Friends? That's rich coming from you. Don't think I forgot about what you did the last time we played." Kise said.
A short replay of Haizaki stepping on Kise's already injured ankle in a desperate last-ditch attempt to beat him after Kise had surpassed him with the Perfect Copy ability played out in both of their heads. Though it ended with Kise using the last of his energy to copy Murasakibara and block his shot, finishing the game himself with a dunk and allowing his team Kaijo to defeat Haizaki's team Fukuda Sogo to advance to the semi-final at the Winter Cup Tournament.
"Oh that. That's water under the bridge my man. All but a distant memory. This ain't some revenge tour. Hell, the last place I expected you guys to be was here. Especially somebody like Shintaro. Now? I'm just havin' a good time is all." Haizaki said.
"Doesn't seem like some of the others agree with that." Kise said.
"Others? Sorry man but you're gonna have to be specific." Haizaki said.
"Look, I'm just giving you a heads up. It's up to you whether heed that or not." Kise said.
"Heads up huh? I came here to win some dough and bounce. I don't remember askin' for advice. Especially from you." Haizaki said.
"But seein' we're on different teams….. looks like we'll be competin' against each other. Just like on the court." Haizaki said before pausing. "But, since you gave me some advice, hows about I return the favor and give you some?"
Kise's eyes widened a bit after hearing this. "Like I just said, I came here to win. And if I gotta go through you to do it, that's fine by me. Just giving you a heads up. Later. Ryota." Haizaki said before getting on his team's ship. Kise turned and looked on at the Wave Breakers' ship before getting on his own ship.
Chris appeared on TV screens on all of the ship as he was on his own personal yacht along with Chef.
"What's up guys! Hope you're liking the cruise ships! And no, before you ask, you're not staying in these. They're too nice for you guys." Chris said.
"Boooooo!" Todd said.
"Well that stinks." Randy said.
"Hey, maybe we'll stay in something better. Better to keep a positive attitude right?" Molly said before Duncan was heard laughing at her remarks.
Scratch, using the fact that he cannot be seen to his advantage, used some utensils and stuck him to the wall, scaring him in the process as he ran.
"You'll be staying somewhere else. But until then, there's food that'll be served from our temporary cooks DJ, Geoff and Trent! Each on one ship." Chris said as all three had aprons on waving. "Quality of dishes served may vary."
"Hey! I'll have you know I'm a great cook! My momma made sure of that!" DJ said.
"Also, feel free to use the confessionals inside the ships. For you newbies, you can use these to say what you're really feeling. You can vent, talk about what just happened, anything you want!" Chris said.
"Cool! I'm trying it first!" Kaz said, running in.
"Hey! Who said you could go first!" Kageyama said, about to try to outrun him. But Kaz quickly slammed the door in his face.
***Confessional***
Kaz(Wave Breakers):
"This is so awesome! I know we travel the universe for racing all the time, but traveling with all of these strong opponents and teammates. Oh man! I just wanna start the next challenge already!" He said, unable to contain his excitement as he was about to jump out of the seat.
***End Confessional***
***Confessional***
Kageyama(Wave Breakers):
"I'm liking the team so far. As much as I hated the fact that Kaz got to be in first, I like his passion. You need guys like that on any team. As for Kunigami, yeah. I don't like what he said about Hinata. But we just met. There might be more to him that I don't know about. I didn't like Tsukishima at first but he showed me more of what he's about. Even if he still does p[censored] me off sometimes."
***End Confessional***
***Confessional***
Tsukishima(Wave Breakers):
"So this is the team I've got to work with? Can't say I'm not interested in how the chemistry will work, as annoying as some of them are. Especially Eijun. Almost every single time he talks its him yelling or talking loud. Like seriously, there's a such thing as an inside voice. Use it."
***End Confessional***

Nimona(Wave Breakers):
"This is gonna be so awesome! Those other two teams don't stand a chance! We're totally gonna murder those guys!" Nimona said before pausing. "Figuratively! Not literally!" She said before pausing again. "Do we get to murder anyone? These are some serious questions to ask!"
***End Confessional***
***Confessional***
Hailey(Wave Breakers):
"Well? So far, I'm liking the team. Outside of Haizaki's….. everything, Kunigami being a jerk and Nimona being way too chaotic, even though Hiruma beats her in that category, everyone else seems okay. And even Nimona seems like a good person. Just, like I said, way too chaotic. I'm not too sure how to feel about Blaineley yet though. Trying to keep a positive mind about her. We'll see. But so far, I'm liking my chances of doing well."
***End Confessional***

Soctt(Wave Breakers):
"I like my team! Baseball players, volleyball players, a shapeshifting girl, a samurai, a ninja and a racing team! Sounds awesome right? That's because it is. Ca Although, I gotta agree with everyone else about Hiruma though. He seems like a bit much. I think he'll tone it down though."

Gabriel Yulaw(Radical Rats):
Yulaw cracks his neck a bit.
"Well then, some of them don't seem too bad. Other than Eyeshield's speed, there's nothing that impresses me yet. For their sake, I hope they've got something better than that. Otherwise, this'll be over quickly. But I'll play along and learn what I can, since I am in uncharted territory. But I won't lose sight of my real goal. I will win and be The One."
***End Confessional***
***Confessional***
Hiruma(Radical Rats):
Hiruma still had a rifle in his hands.
"Make no mistake. I did those trades on purpose. It doesn't take any energy to run your mouth, but it's worth it to mess up your opponents, even if it's a little. And that's exactly what I did. What I said about watching Total Drama was partially true. I only watched a couple of episodes. But they fell for it. There's two types of p[censored]ed. The first is using your anger to be motivated. The second causes you to see red and make mistakes. Those two were the second. Until Isagi came in and made them see what they had in front of them. It doesn't seem like it, but I can tell that he's smart."
"As for my own teammates, I can't say there's one useless person on this team so far from what I've seen. On the Devil Bats, everyone specialized in one or two things and those things alone. At one point, Eyeshield was the one that had to be our running back and receiver. Not because he was that good, but because we simply didn't have enough players to fill every single position for a football game at the time. No one at our school simply cared or wanted to play on the football club then. Of course, that was before we got Monta. Even Kurita had to play both offense and defense. And so did I. Hell, we didn't even have a kicker. If I wasn't kicking it, we had no way to score points other than touchdowns and 2-point conversions. Even now, with how the Devil Bats are structured, they don't seem like a good team on paper compared to teams like the White Knights. But they get the job done. And we'll continue to until we get to the Christmas Bowl. I made a promise. I won't let anything get in the way of that. Winning this season and getting the money to fund for better equipment and events around the school for our growing fans at the school is just another step there. As for you, manajerk….." Hiruma gave the middle finger to the camera, a wide grin on his face as he did it, which was censored out. "Ya-ha."

Kise(Radical Rats):
"Gotta say, I'm excited to be here. This is my first time on reality TV and this show so I'm probably going to mess up a lot. But hey, that's what teammates are for. To help pick you up when you fall. I didn't believe that at first when I first started playing on the Kaijo basketball team. I thought they were all just going to be nuisances that would tie me down. It doesn't seem that way with how I've acted so far, but it's true. It's a long story that I won't go into here. All I have to say is that I have Kurokocci to thank for helping me change for the better. And, Kagamicci too."
"Speaking of Kurokocci….I get to compete on a team with Kurokocci again! It's so awesome!" He said, stars in his eyes before clearing his throat and calming down. "And the other guys are cool too. I mean, Kurokocci has sometimes been called a 'magician' for his abilities, but Natsu and Happy have literal magic! How cool is that? And Adrien's great too! I can't believe he's a model like me. Wonder if he plays basketball too. Still sucks that Murasakibaracci couldn't be here. "
***End Confessional***

Kagami(Radical Rats):
"Competing with Kuroko again and some other really strong guys? And going up against three of the Generation of Miracles again? With some other strong guys to boot?" A smile wrung on Kagami's face. "I couldn't ask for anything more. As for that Isagi guy, I hope he can back that talk up. The Generation of Miracles ran their mouths too. They're still some cocky ba[censored]ds, but ever since we beat 'em, they toned it down a notch. Still though, I don't mind having some confidence. I'd be lying if I said I didn't have some confidence that I'm the best too. That's what makes it more fun. If he really does have some skill, that only makes things better."
"As for playing with Kise, I'm not worried about whether that'll work out. Kuroko and I played with the Generation of Miracles on Vorpal Swords against Jabberwock. Even if it was just one game only. And before then, the three of us did a 3-on-5 against some bullies who thought they could keep a court for themselves and not let others play. Kinda crazy how that was so long ago. And now, things have come full circle and we're on a team again. On a reality TV show of all places. But I'm looking forward to it. Not sure what else this show's gonna have in store but….. I'll have you know I'm good at more than just basketball. But I'm not gonna sit here talking about it, I'll show it to you." He said, grinning.

Haizaki(Wave Breakers):
"I meant what I said. If I gotta go through Kise to win, I don't care. Not like we get along anyways. What I said about us bein' friends was a lie. I'll beat the rest of 'em too. Seijuro, Shintaro, Daiki, Tetsuya, and that other guy. What his name? Taiga? Even the guys on my team. That money's gonna be mine. And the best part is, it might be so easy, I might not even have to steal their moves. If they even got any worth stealin'." Haizaki said, before doing his signature thumb lick again.

Blaineley(Wave Breakers):
"You may be wondering why I'm here. Like I said, as the host of celebrity manhunt, I can use Total Drama to get cross promotion for my show. Everyone does love a good crossover. And plus, seeing the look on Chris' face when he has to hand me that check is going to be sooooo satisfying." Blaineley said before laughing. "Serves you right! I should have been the host for World Tour! And he eliminated me unfairly in a stupid double elimination! I don't care if the producers had to make cuts! He just used that as an excuse to get rid of me."
"But as for my team, I suppose it's fine. I must say though, I'm very impressed by what that kid was able to do. And Karin's martial arts skills are very impressive. Maybe this team won't be so bad after all."

Aomine(Storm Kings):
"Like I already said, I'm the best of the Generation of Miracles. I would say the only way for me to prove that in front of everyone is to beat everyone here including Tetsu and Kagami, but Murasakibara isn't here. Which takes a bit of the fun out of this. Next time I see him, I'm gonna kill that ba[censored]d. Or at least throw something in his face. I thought about taking one of his snacks but there's no way in hell I'm stealing any of his snacks unless I know I won't get caught. That's a death wish. And don't ask me about Haizaki or that other guy. They're not even worth mentioning. Just talking about them now p[censored]es me off."

Mamori(Radical Rats):

Hanamiya(Wave Breakers):
"Huh. So it looks like there's more to this team than meets the eye. I'll need to know more about this team and get a grasp on what they can do. And gather some intel on the other teams too. After all, a point guard and a coach's job is to know their personnel and get all of them involved. Haizaki looks interesting too. Looks like he's got a relationship with the Miracles. Wonder what that's about?" He said, smiling.

Johnny does several poses in front of the camera. "Winnin' the first challenge." He posed again. "Babes like Blaineley, Launch, and Rally." He posed more. "With an irresistible bod like mine?" More posing. "What more could I ask for? Other than the cash."

Midorima(Storm Kings):
"As bothersome as it is to have to deal with Kuroko and the others, it doesn't change a thing as for why I'm here. If anything, it makes things much more difficult even without Murasakibara.

Even though I've spent time with Hal, it was never for something lighthearted like this. It was always for missions. I'll try to learn what I can and do my best to help my team. I understand that this Earth currency means a lot to the people here, so should I win, I'll give my winnings to someone else. I have no use for it. Hal recommended this to me to help me relax and at the same time continue my quest across the multiverse. I know I said I don't need to rest but…. sitting here feels…. relaxing somehow. Thank you Hal." He said before looking up. "I will find you Aya."

"Although, oddly enough, Ben, Albedo and that football player, Eyeshield, wasn't it? All three of them share a voice that resembles Lok's. And they're not the only ones. There's others too. I don't recall that ever happening before. Just a thought."

A wicked grin was on Bakura's face. Something that wasn't seen before.
"Looks like my team can handle themselves pretty well. For now, I'll let little Bakura take the stage. His kind little personality should be able to keep him in most of their good graces. Haizaki, Urien and Kunigami might be a different story. And of course, take over when necessary. Did you really think I would just let him lose this game for me. Absolutely not!"
"As for the rest on the opposing teams, that remains to be seen. But that Isagi kid. He's got some nerve. Making a statement like that." He said before laughing a little. "He or these 'Generation of Miracles' are of no threat to me. If anything, Hiruma is more of a threat because of how crazy he is. But I suspect, he's smarter than what he lets on."

"And also, how is everything not going crazy? Every time we're close to each other things just starting getting weird everywhere around us. It's….. hard to explain.

***End Confessional***
The food the contestants were served was a breakfast with the choice of a breakfast sandwich, breakfast pizza, or pancakes, bacon and eggs. They were being served at circular tables inside one of the lower levels of the cruise ship.
"Wow, this food's not too bad." Duncan said.
"Thanks!" Trent said.
Meanwhile, on the Rats' ship, Natsu was still on the ground.
"What's the matter with him?" Sendo asked as his plate had more food than most of the others'.
"Motion sickness. This happens every time he gets on any form of transportation." Lucy said.
"Well that's gotta suck. He's gonna miss out on breakfast." Kagami said before eating another piece of bacon.
"Actually, with what time it is, I think it's brunch." Becky B. said.
"That so, huh?" Kagami said.
"Wonder how long we've been here then?" Sendo said.
"Here. Have him drink this." Sucy said, putting a funnel in his mouth.
"What's that?" Happy asked.
"It's a potion. It should help." Sucy said before putting the liquid in the funnel for Natsu to drink.
"So, what does it do?" Lucy asked.
"It'll help with the motion sickness." Sucy said.
A couple of seconds passed. "It's not working. You sure you did it right?" Happy asked.
"Just give it a bit." Sucy said. Natsu's eyes were suddenly closed.
"Wait, is he dead!?" Happy said with horror.
"WHAT THE HECK DID YOU DO TO HIM!?" Lucy shouted in horror.
"Excuse me! Can I get more please?" Kagami called out.
"Make that two!" Sendo called out.
"Natsu could be dead and all you two can think about is food!?" Lucy said.
"I'd help if I could but I don't know anything about magic. Sorry." Kagami said. "Hell, before today, I wouldn't have even thought something like that was real. I thought that was only something from the movies."
"Same here." Sendo said.
"At least try to act like you care!" Lucy said.
"He's not dead. I just put him to sleep. It was a sleeping potion." Sucy said.
"A sleeping potion? That doesn't solve anything! I thought you had something to stop it from happening!" Lucy said.
"Sorry, I don't have any potions to fix that. It's better than nothing." Sucy said.
Lucy went to check his pulse. "Yep, still breathing." She sighed. "Well, I guess it's better than nothing. Thanks for trying."
"Sure." Sucy said before leaving.
"Hey, can you take Natsu somewhere he can rest?" Lucy asked Kagami and Sendo.
"Sure." Kagami said.
Both go to try and find a place for him to rest, passing by some of the other tables. One table had Kuroko talking to Morty and Eyeshield, another had Rei talking to Emma and Lotte. A third table had Rocky and Puss talking to one another as Rocky recreated the Total Drama theme on violin.
"Wow. That's very ambitious!" Lotte said to Rei after she told them her dreams of becoming a voice actress, singer, songwriter and model.
"Yeah! I know it's a lot, but a girl can dream right? Say, what are your thoughts on some of the guys here?" Rei said.
"As in romantically?" Emma asked.
"Right on the money!" Rei said.
"Well, I don't have an opinion on anyone else here from that perspective. I have a boyfriend already." Emma said.
"Really? That's nice." Lotte said.
"Congrats!" Rei said.
"Thanks." Emma said.
"Wait, anyone else? Is he here?" Rei asked.
"Yeah, it's Noah." Emma said.
"Oh! I see." Rei said. "Looks like you'll be a force to be reckoned with together."
"That's the plan. Though, from the looks of things, especially with a loose cannon like Hiruma on the team, that'll be easier said than done." Emma said.
"Yeah. That guy is nuts." Rei said. "I'm amazed Mamori can deal with him as his manager."
"Yeah. I'd definitely like to see her game. If she can deal with him, she's gotta have something. Even though that something might be her brain considering she is a sports manager for a team." Emma said.
Rocky finished playing the Total Drama theme with the finishing notes.
"Incredible! I only wish to have a talent like yours in the arts." Puss said.
"Oh stop it! It's nothing." Rocky said.
At another table, Axl was talking with Tangle, each exchanging their adventures.
"It seems this Sigma is just as persistent as Dr. Eggman." Tangle said.
"Yeah. Hard to believe that at one point, he was a maverick hunter just like we were. But he's hurt too many people for us to give him a chance to redeem himself. We'll beat him as many times as it takes. One of those times, it's going to be his last." Axl said.
Lanolin was talking to X as their two younger friends moved on to more lighthearted conversations such as Axl's pistols and Sonic. And Eyeshield's aweing speed that impressed Tangle.
"Nice to see Axl's made a friend already." X said.
"That's Tangle for you." Lanolin said, smiling. "Whisper is a bit of a different story."
"How so?" X asked.
"She's not exactly the most talkative person. Yes, she's gotten better, but she still likes her personal space." Lanolin said. "Blaze is the same way." Whisper and Blaze were eating at their own individual tables.
"Heh. Sounds like someone else I know." X said, referring to Zero, who was outside at the back of the cruise ship, eyes closed as his arms were folded. "You said Blaze. I'm assuming you all know each other. Did you enter together?" X asked.
"No. This was just a coincidence." Lanolin said.
"Small world we live in. Or I guess, worlds." X said. "As for Blaze and Lanolin I'm sure they'll come around." X said assuredly.
"Agreed." Lanolin nodded.
"Actually, I do play a little basketball." Adrien said to Kise at another table who asked if he played.
"Really? Nice!" Kise said.
"Not sure if I'd beat someone that's apart of the 'Generation of Miracles' but…. I'd say I'm pretty good." Adrien said.
"Who knows? You might be better than you think." Kise said.
"By the way, I noticed you call Kagami, Kuroko and some of the others with an '-cchi' at the end. If you don't mind me asking, why is that?" Adrien asked.
"Oh that. Well, I add it for people that I really, really respect. Obviously, I respect my seniors, elders and family. I guess I should be specific. Anyone outside of those people." Kise said before realizing that he needed to clarify something. "Don't worry. Just because I don't add it to everyone's names doesn't mean I don't respect you at all."
"Hey, don't worry about it! Adding that to people you hold in very high regard. I understand. It's something special for you. It'd lose its value if you just gave it out to everyone." Adrien said.
"Yeah." Kise said, nodding.
"That brings me to another question. And please, don't answer this if you don't want to." Adrien said.
"Go ahead! I'm an open book." Kise said, giving him a friendly smile.
"That Haizaki guy. I heard Midorima say he played along with you guys. None of you seem to be a fan of him. And I can understand why. Did you really keep him around? What's his deal? It's like night and day between you guys and him." Kise said.
"It's fine. I was going to answer that question earlier but didn't get around to it because of the challenge. Besides, with how much attention he was drawing to himself ever since he got here, this question was bound to come up eventually." Kise said, no longer smiling.
"The 'Generation of Miracles' gets thrown around in Japan a lot, especially in the high school space. As you know, I was a part of that group of five back in Teiko Middle School. Five basketball prodigies with incredible skills. Skills that stood out from every other high schooler that played the sport. Heck, with some of our skills, not to brag but….. would maybe stand out even in higher levels, including the NBA. Of course, if you count Kurokocchi and Momoicchi, that's two more. Although those two aren't usually counted by many. Kurokocchi was never really talked about in the media and Momoicchi, while her analytical skills as a manager were unmatched, was never counted either because she never played." Kise explained.
"But all five of us, even if we don't say it out loud, wholeheartedly agree that those two helped us win all 3 of those championships Teiko won during our time there which is why we consider them as Miracles even if the media doesn't. I can't say enough how thankful I am to be able to play with people like them."
"Wait, 3? You guys won every single year!?" Adrien asked, stunned.
"Yeah." Kise said.
"That's incredible! You guys definitely must be awesome players. Talk about purr-fection at its finest" Adrien said.
Kise laughed a little at his pun.
"Sorry. Couldn't help myself." Adrien said.
"You're fine." Kise said, smiling a little before resuming.
"But anyways, I can't take credit for the first one though. I wasn't apart of the team my first year of middle school." Kise said.
"Other than going to school, I did modeling. And that was pretty much it." Kise said.
"You weren't interested in any clubs?" Adrien asked. "I know it's not for everyone. Just wondering."
"Actually, I was. I tried out for all of the sports teams. But I was able to master them all. Just looking by looking at a skill once I was able to replicate it." Kise said.
"Wait, once?" Adrien asked.
"Yeah. I think Akashicchi and Momoicchi said it's because of my visual comprehension skill?" Kise said, not a hundred percent sure.
"That would make the most sense as to why." Adrien said.
"But that's my main skill." Kise said, smiling. "Copying and returning it back with more power. Boring I know."
"Can you really? I want to see it." Adrien said, genuinely curious.
"Uh okay. Sure." Kise said, not expecting him to give that response. "Just so you know I don't think that's something I can just turn on. It's not a superpower like what you can do."
"So what? Doesn't make me any less interested." Adrien said. "Hmm…" He said, thinking.
"It's okay if you can't think of anything. Don't worry about it!" Kise said.
"Yeah. We'll come back to that later." Adrien said.
Kuroko No Basket Haizaki's Theme I Plays
"Anyways, I didn't join until the second year. So, naturally, someone else had to have been there in the spot I was in." Kise said.
"Haizaki." Adrien guessed.
Kise nodded.
"So he was a Generation of Miracle too? Did he have special skills like you guys?" Adrien asked.
"Actually, in the first year there was no 'Generation of Miracles'. It wasn't until our performance in the second year that the media started to really recognize our play and dubbed us as that. But, when I came in, Haizaki was on his way out. He was good, but he was violent. I'd say if anything, his relationship with the team and how he acted went from fun, to a little annoying, to simply being tolerated. With Momoicchi and Akashicchi noticing my skills and promoting me to first string not long after I joined, that was all the excuse Akashicchi needed to let him go. Technically, he quit, but that was because Akashicchi all but forced him to. Since then, he was never seen again. Sure, he still went to school and finished. But after he left the team, it was as if he never existed. No one acknowledged him. No one ever talked about him. He was just another kid going to school at Teiko. And it stayed that way. Until he came back during the Winter Cup." Kise explained.
"I'm guessing that's a tournament?" Adrien asked.
"Yeah. I honestly thought the guy quit basketball and moved on with his life. And so did everyone else. But we were all wrong. It wasn't highlighted because of how forgotten he was, but he and his team, Fukuda Sogo made it all the way to the quarter-finals. That was when he had to play the team I played for. Kaijo. When we were watching practice film, that was when I saw him. He changed his hairstyle but….. make no mistake, I still recognized that face. Guess you could say that's a byproduct of being able to copy moves. Or, I guess it might have been because he was one of the few people that I just couldn't get along with. So unfortunately, it'd be a face that I surely wouldn't forget."
"Like us, his talents bloomed. Even though he quit. He was known to not really take practice too seriously. But considering the fact that his team got that far, and the fact that he's the ace of that team, like all of us except for Kurokocchi are for outs teams, there's a good chance he never completely stopped. And that was probably when his skill was awakened too. Pillage." Kise said.
"Pillage? What do you mean by that?" Adrien asked.
"On the outside looking in, you could say his skill is the same as mine. Both of us can copy moves and make them our own. But, that's where the similarities end. I can return moves copied with more power. Haizaki however, changes the rhythm and pace of the moves he copies to fit him, and in return, makes the move unusable for his opponents." Kise said.
"If an opponent runs out of moves to use, they're left with nothing and are rendered useless." Adrien said.
"That's what makes the move so dangerous. For players that are really one-trick ponies when it comes to specialties and roles this cripples them. Make no mistake, his attitude isn't the best. But his skills are no joke. It's just as good as ours." Kise said.
Meanwhile, on the Storm Kings' ship, Isagi was asking similar questions about the Miracles and their skills to Midorima who reluctantly answered, if only so he can be left to eat in peace.
"I'll admit that his skills are good. On par with ours. But his behavior makes him a far cry of being of being worthy of called a 'Generation of Miracle'. And even if he was, his behavior as a person is still something I truly don't like." Midorima said to Isagi.
Music stops
"And what about the others? What are their skills?" Isagi asked.
Midorima sighed. "If you must know. Besides, I have a feeling that it's only a matter of time before they're seen anyway. Even outside of basketball, I can imagine that many of them can still be used."
"Kise's skill is similar to Haizaki's. Although unlike him, he doesn't change the rhythm. He replicates the move, rhythm and all, perfectly. But, he returns it with more power. Copying is his skill."
"For Aomine, it's his constant motion. Incredible speed and agility, the ability to change the pace, and his formless shot, which allows him to score from almost anywhere on the court in a multitude of ways, even if it's a non-practical form."
"So it's unpredictability? That's his skill?" Isagi asked.
"Actually, all of these are his specialty. They just all contribute to the same thing." Midorima said.
"I see." Isagi said.
"Akashi's skills are his emperor's eye. The ability to predict the future of opposing players' moves." Midorima said.
"That's somewhat like my Meta Vision." Isagi thought.
"Once he sees these predictions, he reacts accordingly, nullifying any moves the opponent makes. One of the eyes' weaknesses was that it could only focus on one person at a time. Now that it's been completed, that weakness has since been resolved. With his field of vision increased, he is capable of seeing all five."
"Of course, his second ability is his perfect rhythmed plays. Even without his Emperor's Eye, he can increase the potential of all his teammates. If he uses it for assistance in seeing opponents, he can increase it even further."
"As for my skill…. it is my accuracy and range. So long as the trajectory isn't altered by an external force, I will always hit my intended target. Every single time." Midorima said.
"What about those other guys? And Murasakibara?" Isagi asked.
"Others? You mean Kuroko, Mayuzumi and Hanamiya."
"I hardly understand why you need to know about Murasakibara considering he's not here. But, I'll tell you."
"Murasakibara's skills are moreso his physical attributes rather than skills or abilities like the rest of us. Out of all of us, he is the most physically gifted, standing as the tallest out of us all. Despite his lazy and utterly childish attitude, his strength offensively and defensively makes him a force to be reckoned with."
"Force you say? Uh-uh. He's more than just a force. Then again, we all are in different ways but…. the guy brought down an entire basketball goal in the Winter Cup tournament from just a single dunk. And he wasn't even going 100%." Aomine said to them, passing by the table before stopping.
"What? Are you serious? These guys are about as old as me!" Isagi thought.
"What do you want Aomine?" Midorima asked.
"Saw you two chattin' it up a lot while I was eating. So I went to see what the hubbub was. And I hear you revealing our skills to this guy. Why?" Aomine asked, empty water bottle and tray in hand.
"I asked." Isagi said. "If we want to work as a team, I thought the best way to do that was to learn everyone's skills. It worked in Blue Lock when we initially made the first teams after entering, so I thought why not try that here?"
"Teamwork huh?" Aomine said before laughing a little. "You really are getting into this huh? You're asking these types of questions and no one even really knows each other yet. Momoi would definitely like you."
"Well, considering I was Tetsu's original light, I'll tell you about him." Aomine said.
"Tetsu's skill is unique. And I know all of our skills are that way. 'What's the big deal' right? When I mean unique, I mean unique in a way that's even more special compared to ours." Aomine said before a smile was on his face. "Let me ask you a question. When you look at Tetsu, if you weren't told he was one by one of us, would you honestly believe he's a basketball player? And even if we did, would you think we're lying?" Aomine asked. "Wait….. that's two questions. Whatever, you get what I meant."
***Confessional***
Aomine(Storm Kings):
"That sounded so cool in my head! How did I mess that up!?" He said, hands on his head.
***End Confessional***
"Honestly, no. Granted, I could be wrong since I don't play basketball but….." Isagi said.
"Actually, that'd be most people's answers. What you said. But, even with all of that Tetsu found a way. With the help of Akashi, his ability was discovered as well. Misdirection." Aomine said.
"Tetsu's own way to play basketball and contribute. The guy wasn't able to shoot to save his life. And I don't mean unable to make everything but a few. Even some of the worst offensive players have a chance to score something. Tetsu? He's never scored a single basket in a game."
"But that doesn't make any sense. If he can't score what else can he do? He doesn't look like he can really defend anyone either." Isagi said.
"He isn't able to get most rebounds. Or run as fast as others. Or shoot that well. Hell, it wasn't until the Winter Cup tournament before his match against Murasakibara and Yosen that he even learned how to. I had to teach him. And his dribbling is the bare minimum. But what's the one thing I'm missing that's seen in a basketball game?" Aomine asked.
Isagi put a finger on his chin as he started to think.
"Passing, right?" He finally answered.
"Yeah. That's exactly right." Aomine said.
"Misdirection is a skill that takes full advantage of these weaknesses and turns them into a strength." Midorima said.
"Naturally, a player without these skills and is physically weak would be considered a liability, and thus would be ignored. Sometimes, left completely open. However, doing that against Kuroko is a mistake. In fact, ignoring him is exactly what he wants you to do." Midorima explained.
"It isn't as simple as keeping an eye on him is it?" Isagi asked.
"No. The thing people pay attention to the most is the ball. And because Kuroko focuses on getting rid of the ball as soon as possible, keeping an eye on him is almost useless. And naturally, if you try to keep an eye on Kuroko, your eyes will drift somewhere else. If that happens, he'll use that split second to move. In other words, it'll look like he disappeared." Aomine said.
"What about stopping his passes? If you can figure out where his passes are going, you can shut him down." Isagi said.
"Smart kid." Aomine said.
"That is true. And while that has been a weakness with him before, he's developed skills to get around that weakness. The Phantom Shot, the ignite Pass, the Vanishing Drive among other skills. All skills that he learned and developed to help address that weakness and improve himself." Midorima said.
"So now comes the issue in figuring out how to stop those. All of which is doable. No move is unstoppable, but it's easier said than done. There's a reason why no one else can do those moves after all." Aomine said.
"We've all developed skills since then to improve. Skills that even we don't know about from each other. That's the difference between us playing together in middle school. And going to different high schools since." Midorima said.
"You guys played together in middle school?" Isagi asked.
"Yes. At Teiko." Midorima said.
"If you're wonderin' why we went to different schools instead of continuing to play together, it's a long story. But just know that things weren't exactly sunshine and roses. Especially around the end of our middle school days. But that ain't somethin' I'm really trying to talk about." Aomine said. "Anyways, that's it. You know everything you need to know about our skills. Later. And don't worry, everything between us was mended since then. So you don't have to worry about us fighting. Or at the very least, not a real serious one." He said before getting ready to walk away.
"Wait, what about Hanamiya, Kagami, and that other guy?" Isagi asked.
Aomine stopped. It wasn't seen, but he was frowning. "For Kagami, he's got impressive skills. Undeniably on par with ours. Even more so than the Uncrowned Kings. And like us and the Kings, he's got an incredible ability that no one else has. His incredible jumping power. Don't get me wrong, his shots can still be blocked, but with his vertical, it's no easy task. Pair that up with some of his other physical characteristics and you've got a true monster that is just as frightening as the Miracles. He was the first person I had ever gone against since going to Touou Academy that ever pushed me to a hundred percent. And even then that still wasn't enough for me to win." He said, playing out the game winning buzzer beater dunk Kagami had made over Aomine to win the game for Seirin and beat Touou in their rematch.
Aomine opened his eyes before saying, "Ask Midorima about those two. Like I said, I'm done here." He said before walking away.
"When you mean other person, I assume you're talking about Mayuzumi." Midorima said.
"I guess." Isagi said. "He hasn't really talked much since he's been here so he hasn't exactly made himself known. Though I guess even Din hasn't either and he's talked less. I'm surprised he was actually willing to give me some of his strengths." He said as Din wrote them down for him. Though he couldn't come up with any weaknesses for him. Not even theoretical ones because of how much he didn't know about him.
Mayuzumi was off in a distant table by himself reading a light novel.
"Remember what Aomine said about the Generation of Miracles' skills being unique?" Midorima asked.
"Yeah." Isagi said.
"Although this wasn't known until the finals of the Winter Cup, Mayuzumi has the same skill as Kuroko. Misdirection." Midorima said.
"What? But he looks like he's better suited to play basketball right? At least from where I'm standing. He looks to be a bit taller than Kuroko." Isagi said. "If that's the case, then is he the better user?"
"While it's true that he has better physical capabilities, how they use it is completely different. Think of Mayuzumi's physical capabilities as a grade. Average, but passable." Midorima said.
"So, a C?" Isagi asked.
"Yes. Believe it or not, because Kuroko's physical attributes are so weak, he wouldn't even be considered a basketball player if it wasn't for his skill. Which is exactly why in a game, he officially has no position. Essentially, he's positionless. And while that usually means a player is able to adapt and play different positions, for Kuroko's case, it's like he's not even there. Like a ghost. Hence why he is called, the Phantom Sixth Man. In Mayuzumi's case, his stats allowed him to officially have the position of Power Forward."
"As for your question about who's the better user, considering Kuroko was able to overwrite him and Seirin defeated Rakuzan, that question was already answered. Although Akashi was able to help develop that skill for Mayuzumi, inexperience plays a factor. Even though Mayuzumi has better physical attributes and is capable of shooting even before he was taught Misdirection, his understanding of the skill compared to Kuroko who had used it for years, was limited. Meaning he had no knowledge of its weaknesses. And that was what Kuroko exploited, leading to his downfall." Midorima said.
"However, because he was a third year, Mayuzumi graduated and is now attending college. I'm not sure if he's developed his skill or even played basketball since then." Midorima said.
"I see. And what about Hanamiya?" Isagi asked.
Midorima took a sip of the orange juice he had before putting the cup back down.
"I don't have much knowledge about him, but I'll tell you what I can." Midorima said.
"Anything helps. Thank you." Isagi said.
"Hanamiya is not a Generation of Miracle. And neither is Mayuzumi. However, unlike Mayuzumi who has no title to his name, Hanamiya does. He is an Uncrowned King." Midorima started.
"The Uncrowned Kings were one year ahead of us in terms of seniority. Five players that also had exceptional abilities that stood out from the rest, abilities that some would say are on par with ours. But unlike us, they attended different middle schools and were rivals from the start." Midorima said. "But, when our talents blossomed, they were overshadowed in favor of us."
"So, what's his ability? What can he do?" Isagi asked.
"I'm not sure. That's where my knowledge, and compliments of him end." Midorima said. "I have respect for the other Uncrowned Kings for their unique skills and abilities. But Hanamiya. Even if I knew his skill, which I assume is on par with the other four Kings, I can't honestly say that I have any shred of respect for him."
"Why? Was there something that happened between you two?" Isagi asked.
"No. As a matter of fact, we've never interacted with each other outside of middle school. And because of our domination of all our opponents, I wouldn't even call that an interaction either. The one time we could have was during the Winter Cup Final League before the official Winter Cup tournament for the top 8 teams. Shutoku was set to play Kirisaki Daichi. While we won, it was far from Kirisaki's best. And that was best because all of their first string sat out."
"If every game is needed, why not send out your best?" Isagi asked.
"I suppose their logic was that they'd win both of the games they needed to advance." Midorima said. "But, they couldn't be more wrong. While they won the first easily, Seirin defeated them, eliminating them from contention for the Winter Cup Final 8."
"Hope the coach learned from his mistakes. Not every victory is guaranteed." Isagi said.
"From what I've heard, Kirisaki Daichi is in a unique situation. Two years ago, their coach quit. Now, Hanamiya is both captain and coach of the team."
"Wait, really? Why didn't they hire another one?" Isagi asked.
"I'm not sure. I suppose it's because the school has been faring quite well since Hanamiya's arrival. Their school had a decent team before then, but everything change when he arrived. Though I can't say I have full respect for the decision because of the cost. I can understand doing everything possible to attain victory. But sacrificing integrity for victory is something I can never respect." Midorima said. "Or, another theory could be due to his reputation. No coach may want to be involved with coaching someone with a reputation like that. Which could also be the reason why the previous coach quit after seeing his underhanded tactics."
"I get it. He's a dirty player." Isagi inferred.
"Yes. While Haizaki's behavior is far from respectable, Hanamiya, while from the outside looking in may not seem as despicable as him, isn't much better. They're just deplorable in different ways. But the worst part about Hanamiya….. is this his entire team is no better than him. Yes, Kirisaki Daichi uses teamwork, but somehow, they don't even make that look respectable."
On the Wave Breakers' ship, Hanamiya was at a table talking to Myron who was explaining Scan2Go to him, Toxsa and Ryoma.
"A machine can only use up to two turbo boosts per race." Myron said as he had brought out his Storm Slazor to help give a visual explanation. He then went into one of the pouches on his belt to pull out his turbo card only to look horrified after how soggy it looked.
"OH NO! I completely forgot!" Myron said, hands on his head. "My scan card is ruined!"
"Guess the lecture's over." Toxsa said.
Myron lowered his head in shame. "Guess so."

Myron(Wave Breaker):
"I'm going to need another scan card or Slazor is going to be useless! But where am I supposed to go and find one? Scan2Go doesn't even exist in this Earth!"

Haizaki takes a piece of bacon from Bakura who was at a table with Reagan, Dan and Chris.
"Yoink. Got your bacon." Haizaki said before eating.
"The hell? If you're that hungry then go get your own breakfast." Reagan said.
"No it's fine." Bakura said, with a smile.
"Well, he doesn't have a problem with it. Case closed." Haizaki said. "Besides, I already got my own breakfast. Just wanted some more." He said before casually grabbing another piece of bacon of Chris' plate.
"That's why you can ask for more you moron." Dan said.
"You ever look at someone's plate and say 'damn, I want some of that'? Well that's how I felt just then. Don't know why, but for some reason food always looks even better when someone else's eating it. Get my drift?" Haizaki asked.
"Then just ask for the bacon. It's not that hard." Reagan said.
"Nah. I'm good now." Haizaki said.
"What is his problem? He's been doing this crap ever since he got here. It's like he's trying to speedrun making himself punchable. You know what? I feel like taking my pent up anger out on someone. You guys wouldn't have a problem if I take it out on him, right?" Reagan said.
"Nope." Dan said.
"Wow, you're that mad?" Chris asked.
"No. I said pent up." Reagan said before seeing Haizaki taking something else from Scott.
Reagan looked like she was about to yell before she ran into the confessional.
Scratch looked over.
"I totally get her frustration. Have I ever said that I don't like that guy?" Scratch said to Molly.
"Scott, you can't just let him take your food. Especially when he didn't even ask." Hailey said.
"I mean it's fine. He only took one." Scott said. "I don't think it'll be an everyday occurrence."
"That's what they all say. Then it keeps happening over and over and over again." Scratch said, though because he didn't make himself visible to Hailey or Scott, he wasn't heard.
"The problem is, what are we going to do about it? He's older than us and taller than us!" Libby said.
"I believe in people changing for the better. It's only the first day. I'd say give him time and we'll see what else he does." Molly said.
"I guess. I hope you're right." Hailey said.

Isagi continued to get notes about everyone's skills on the team. This time, writing what he's gotten from his notebook. He had just finished talking with Mona, Huey, Dewey and Louie.
"You're trying to come up with a master plan. And all of us are small puzzle pieces of one big puzzle." Mona said.
"Actually, that's exactly right. How did you know?" Isagi asked, surprised that Mona was the one to really figure it out.
"It was pretty easy to tell. All that thinking you're doing made it obvious." Mona said.
"Puzzle pieces? That's genius! Here, let me pitch in." Sophie said before writing fown her abilities along with making drawings.
"Let me help." Huey D. said after Sophie finished.
"Sure! That'll get things done a whole lot faster. Thank you!" Isagi said.
"No problem!" Huey D. said before getting up and getting a notepad himself.
"Hey, Huey." Louie said, low.
"What's up?" Huey D. asked.
"Make sure you ask Isagi for his notes too." Louie said.
"Sure! It'd make sense to combine notes all on one notebook." Huey D. said.
***Confessional***
Louie(Storm Kings):
"That's actually not the reason why I wanted him to get those notes. If we can see what everyone can do, if we have to go against them, we can know their strengths and avoid that. If there's one thing for sure, I don't think anybody here's unbeatable."

Sophie(Storm Kings):
"I wasn't sure what to think about Isagi at first, but seeing these notes, I'm beginning to understand how he thinks. The question is, how exactly will those weaknesses he took note of be exploited by us? By that I mean, I noticed that he took note of weaknesses, including theoretical ones. Eventually, we're going to have to go against each other. And we'll probably know each other enough to be able to figure out how to suppress our strengths. It's going to be a matter of how we can address those weaknesses and adapt. And unfortunately, overcoming weaknesses and bad habits aren't things that can be done overnight."
***End Confessional***
Isagi went to Octavia who took out her headphones so she could what Isagi was saying. After reading the notes, she figured out what he wanted and reached out for the pencil and the notebook. She put her headphones back in and wrote what Isagi was looking for and handed the notebook back to him when she was done. Isagi gives her a thumbs up with Octavia replying with a thumbs up of her own before going back to reading.
Huey D. went to Riley next. "Sure!" She wrote in her skills herself with Todd writing in his next. Though the Fleemco Phones were left out.
"And if it helps, I'll give a hand too." Riley said.
"Hey Riley, when you're done, I wanna see those notes." Todd said.
"Why? It's not like you're going to read them." Riley said.
"Just give me the notes. You should be happy I want to read." Todd said.
"Fine. But you better not throw them away." Riley said.

Isagi went to Heather next.
"Buzz off! I'm not telling you anything!"
Isagi was surprised from her response but simply said "Okay" before leaving.

Huey D. was talking to Alejandro next, who was more than happy to give him some of his strengths after seeing how thorough his notes were. Heather went over to him.
"What was that? Why would you give him your strengths? It's clear Isagi is colluding with him and Riley." Heather said as Bren and Cameron also joined in.
"Relax. I didn't give him all of my strengths. Besides, think about it. If we can get our hands on those notes, and know their strengths…." Alejandro started.
"We can know some of their weaknesses too!" Heather said.

"I take it back. Maybe that Isagi kid was onto something."
***End Confessional***
"After what you said? Absolutely not." Courtney said before noticing the notebook.
"Wait, you're taking notes on this?" She asked.
"Yeah." Isagi said.
"Let me see."
Isagi hands her the notes, which were very thorough, from how Kuroko's Misdirection works, comparing and contrasting his to Mayuzumi's, Isagi taking special note of Huey's Junior Woodchuck book, and taking note of how certain team members' skills overlap or how they can theoretically work together.
"This is very thorough! Honestly, I'm impressed! If you don't mind, can I help out?" Courtney asked.
"Sure!" Isagi said.
***Confessional***
Courtney(Storm Kings):
"You know, if there's people like him on this team, it might not be so bad. Maybe Isagi was right."
***End Confessional***
Next for Isagi was Jotaro.
"So, you want to know what I'm capable of doing right?" Jotaro asked, who was sitting by himself at a table.
"Yes, please!" Isagi said.
"No need to be so formal with me. I'll tell you." Jotaro said before standing up. He then started to walk before he gestured for Isagi to follow.
"Well, you wanted to see what I can do right? Come on. We don't have all day." Jotaro said.
Although Isagi was confused, he decided to follow him.
"Hand me that pencil." Jotaro said when they got outside.
"Sure!" Isagi said. He thought he was going to write something, but he did something he didn't expect. He took some of the lead out of the pencil and put it in his right hand.
"What are you doing if you don't mind me asking?" Isagi asked.
"I'm showing you what I can do. It'd be easier for me to show you than tell you. That should work for you, right?" Jotaro asked.
"Yeah sure! Okay."
He hands the lead to Isagi. "I want you to go across to that end of the ship." Jotaro said as he stood at the head of the ship. "And throw the lead, right at my head as hard as you can."
"What? Do you realize what you're saying? I'm no baseball pitcher but…. I could hurt you!" Isagi said.
"Good grief. You want me to show what I can do and now you're having second thoughts. Do you want to see what I can do or not?" Jotaro asked.
"Yes, I do, but-" Isagi said.
"No buts. Either throw the lead or leave." Jotaro said.
"If someone like Murasakibara exists as a part of those Generation of Miracles, then maybe….." Isagi thought. "No. I can't have second thoughts. Everyone inside is doing this all because they want to help me."
Inside, Paul was showing his Pokemon to Bren, though he refused to show their moves until they were in a wider area.
***Confessional***
Paul(Storm Kings):
"At first I was going to refuse until I was shown the reason why. Understanding your team's strengths and weaknesses is the first step to draw out the true potential of it and its members. The same can be said about Pokemon. Understanding its strengths and weaknesses is the first step to making it stronger. Even if my Pokemon's weaknesses are shown or discovered, with training, those weaknesses can be overcome. Only through constantly pushing yourself will you ever get stronger. Believing that you have no weaknesses or not accepting the fact that you have them is delusional and won't do you any favors. That doesn't show you're strong. That shows you're weak."
***End Confessional***
"What would I look like if I back out? It's just like being a striker. Even with the pressure, as a striker, your team counts on you to take the shot. If you second guess, then that could mean the difference between you winning or losing."
"Okay! I'll do it." Isagi said.
Isagi tosses the lead at him as hard as he can. Before it can even reach his face, it was stopped.
"What the hell!? It stopped!" Isagi thought.
"I take it from your surprised face you don't know what happened. So, I'll explain. No, the lead didn't just stop in mid-air. What stopped it was my Stand." Jotaro began to explain.
"A Stand is life energy channeled into a visual form. Or spiritual energy, whichever you'd like to use. They usually stand beside their user. And I say usually because not all Stands are the same. Though in my case, my Stand does exactly that. Every Stand has different abilities and names. The name of my Stand is Star Platinum."
"I don't get it. Visual life energy? If that's the case then I should be able to see it. Why not?" Isagi asked.
"Because, only other Stand users can see Stands. Non-stand users can't. Don't believe me? Throw the notebook next and see what happens." Jotaro said.
Isagi throws the notebook at him. Star Platinum catches that as well and throw It right back with Isagi catching it.
"Incredible Reflexes and Eyesight. That's one of Star Platinum's abilties, along with it's incredible strength." Jotaro said as a tall, purple well-built man of similar proportions to Jotaro was next to him. It has a minimal range of clothing and armor, including a short, circular scarf, shoulder pads with a spiral design, long gloves with studs on the back, knee and elbow guards, a loincloth, and short boots. Though none of this could be seen by Isagi even if he tried.
"Star Platinum also has other abilities. But, like I said, it'd best for you to actually see it first before I explain. And plus, I'd rather not accidentally damage the ship." Jotaro said. He then began to walk past Isagi before handing him the piece of lead that he caught.
"Hope you wrote all of that down." He said before he walked back inside.
"Thanks!" Isagi said, snapping out of his surprise.
Isagi and the others continued to get everyone else with Luz helping out as well.
"Strengths? Well, they're nothing really. I'm simply one hell of a butler. And with that, come the strengths of being an incredible butler." Sebastian said to Isagi.
"So, why would someone like you want to enter this competition?" Isagi asked as he took notes based off Sebastian's response.
"It's simple. I am not here for the money. It's rubbish. No use to me. I was surprised to get an invitation to this show, but Ciel ordered me to not keep the money should I win. Simply put, I am here to bring honor to the Phantomhive household. Something I fully intend on doing." Sebastian said.
"I see."
"If you don't mind me asking." Sebastian started.
"Go ahead." Isagi said.
"Your statements and your personality earlier. I would have thought you would have been someone that would have preferred to play on your own, trying not to use teamwork. Why ask for this from us now?"
"Because, this is how the game is meant to be played." Isagi said, which caused Sebastian to raise an eyebrow.
"If we were split into teams, it was done for a reason. Soccer is an 11-on-11 sport. When Ego said to focus on scoring goals and having an ego, he didn't mean throw away teamwork and try to do everything on your own. Being a striker is more than just being the person that scores all of the goals. Thinking like that will only hurt the team because they can simply surround you and not worry about anyone else. It's about being the focal point of a team. Using your team to help you while allowing the others to get their opportunities as well when given the chance. If everyone believed they're good enough to be a striker, then it pushes them to be stronger while making their team as a whole even more dangerous because any one of them can be a terrifying threat. The same can be applied here." Isagi elaborated.
"Applying sports concepts to different areas outside of sports. I see. But, honestly, do you really believe that everyone will be on board with this? Some may think that this could be a bit much."
"Well, I'm not really sure. But it looks like it so far. Besides, if it means us winning, it's worth it. Right?"
"I suppose so." Sebastian said. "Well then, I won't hold you. Good luck!"
"Thanks!"
***Confessional***
Sebastian(Storm Kings):
"Making everyone a striker? I believe I understand what he means. Highlighting the strengths, and using each other to mask any weaknesses or holes. If this were to work, I would think it would yield great results."
"But his way of thinking just to win intrigues me. Fascinating what humans will do just to win and survive."
***End Confessional***
Isagi went to two more people. The first was Ryoma Echizen, and then Eliza.
"This record is incredible. Why would you want to be here? For the money?" Isagi said, looking at his tennis record.
"Actually, while that would be nice. What I really want to do is improve my teamwork skills." Ryoma said.
"Teamwork skills?" Isagi asked.
"Yes. I've only played one doubles match. And while Momoshiro and I did win, it wasn't great for me at all. And I think everyone else on the team noticed it too. Which is why our coach always put me in singles from then on. I know how well I can do at singles. But doubles is something I want to at least try to figure out." Ryoma said.
Flashback
Ryoma was practicing tennis with his father, Nanjiro Echizen, who was a professional tennis player before he retired to help train his son who wanted to be a professional tennis player like him, hence why he is nicknamed by many "Samurai Jr.".
"A reality show? Why would you want to enter there?" Nanjiro asked.
"I want to improve my teamwork skills." Ryoma said, hitting the ball back to Nanjiro, who countered perfectly and got it past Ryoma.
"Heh. I see." Nanjiro said, smiling, knowing exactly what Ryoma's aim was. And it wasn't because of the money that's for sure.
"Looks like you've still got a ways to go." He said jokingly.
Ryoma gets a ball past Nanjiro.
"Must be saying that about yourself. You're losing your step." Ryoma said, jokingly.
"You calling me old? We'll see who's old when you get your butt kicked by me again." Nanjiro said, smiling before getting ready to serve the ball.
End Flashback
"I see." Isagi said.
"So many people here aren't in it for the money. But for other reasons. Incredible." Isagi thought.
Isagi finished up writing before getting up and saying, "Thank you!" Isagi said before Ryoma tipped his cap before going back to play his Game Boy Advance.
Isagi then went to talk to Eliza.
"So, you want to know my strengths." She said before noticing the notebook he had, which was very detailed. From Jotaro's Star Platinum to noting Ryoma's incredible record at singles but weakness at doubles to Bachira's footwork to Marinette's abilities and taking note of Courtney and Heather's dislike toward one another.
"These notes are very extensive. Tell me, what exactly is this Blue Lock?"
"Well, it's a training program in Japan. Different players who hope to help Japan get their first World Cup were invited. I was one of those people. At first, I was a bit surprised to hear that Ego emphasized winning over teamwork. In other words, his goal was to create the perfect striker to send to the World Cup and help Japan win."
"And what do you think? Do you agree with Ego?"
"Well, I can't say I agreed at first. But I think I understand what he's trying to do. Yeah, you should have fun in soccer, but, there's nothing wrong with trying to win either. After all, isn't that the goal? Scoring more than your opponent. But for me, I don't want to trample on weak opponents. I want to face strong opponents. Only then will I really feel like my training and work will have paid off. If I just step on people that have no shot against me then….. what's the point? That's why I went after the best player in Blue Lock. And chose to eliminate him first instead of the person that worst. Yes, he seemed friendly but, at the end of the day, everyone there came with their dreams of playing soccer professionally. And unfortunately, the reality is, not everyone will get that chance. Some let their dreams die out. But I refuse to be one of those people. Even if it means denying others that chance, I will attain my dream."
"Then the same could be applied here, right? Everyone wants to win. Even if it's for different reasons. For example, I simply want to win for the money. I have no other goals or motives here. What about you? If soccer is your dream, then why are you competing here?"
"Well, I was actually chosen by Ego. The same with Bachira. And apparently, Kunigami. I can't say why I was chosen though. All I was told was that I should do my best to win. As for the money, if I were to win, it wouldn't go to Blue Lock or Ego. We were told that we could keep and use it for whatever we wanted."
"If you were to win, what exactly would you want?"
"Well, I guess I would give it to my parents. I really don't know what I'd do with it. My dream of playing soccer and representing Japan is what I care about the most more than anything else. And if competing here gets me closer to that, then so be it."
Chris suddenly appeared on the TV screens again.
"I see. Well then, i-
"Land ho guys! We've getting ready to approach land!" Chris announced.
"I'll write down what you'd like to know about me and hand it back to you. Is that okay?"
"Sure. Thank you!" Isagi said.
After writing down her proficiency at fighting, she read through all of the others, taking note of all of their strengths and any notable confirmed or theoretical weaknesses and holes of each of their team members that he wrote down.
***Confessional***
Isagi(Storm Kings):
"Alright, I think that's everyone. I'm confident that we have a strong team! It honestly surprise me a little. If that Star Platinum is a real thing. Then that'll be tough to deal with. You can't stop something you can't see. Something that might apply to Kuroko and Mayuzumi too. But even so, I still wonder what the others on the other two teams are capable of. If this team has guys like that, then there's no telling what the other teams have. And I still don't have any info about Hanamiya can do. That's concerning. If his skills are even close to what was described about the Miracles, then we should be careful. Even more so if he really is someone that resorts to dirty and underhanded tactics too. If he's been able to win games using that, then he's definitely someone that's being smart and/or subtle with doing it to make sure he and his team doesn't get caught."
"I wonder though….. to what extent is Haizaki and Kise's pillaging and copying abilities? Could they potentially copy my Meta Vision? Or Star Platinum? What about Kuroko and Mayuzumi's misdirection, even though Kuroko could be considered a Miracle. I've dealt with someone that's been able to copy plays after seeing them before with Reo. But usually, those plays require at least a second person to work. Usually a talented player like Nagi who can make them work and improve them. These two can use their copying by themselves. I suppose I'll have to find out whenever we start playing." He said.
***End Confessional***
***Confessional***
Eliza(Storm Kings):
"I have to say, Isagi intrigues me. A philosophy of winning first, and everything else second. Taking notes of your team's strength was not something I expected. But genius. And thorough notes at that. I'll have to keep an eye on him. His mind could be very useful to me. Of course, I didn't add everything about myself. I must keep some things a secret."
***End Confessional***
Everyone was outside. Though Haizaki notably had a black eye as he was dragged out by Jasmine.
"That is a nasty black eye." Dwayne said.
"What happened to him?" Kaz asked.
"I'm not sure. I saw him on the ground knocked out." Launch said.
"Ha! Serves you right! Ma'am, you've done a great service." Reagan said to Jasmine.
"It wasn't me I promise." Jasmine said.
Flashback
Haizaki went to another table and took a muffin from Launch who had blue hair at the time
"Thank you." He said before a sneeze was heard and suddenly getting socked in the face.
"What do ya think you're doin' with MY muffin?" Launch said.
"You mean MY muffin." Haizaki said before eating it right in front of her which only made her angry and was about to shoot him he was suddenly knocked out by Duncan.
"Serves you right." Launch said.
Although that was Duncan at all. It was Nimona.
"What? I heard someone needed to be punched, so I punched him." Nimona said, shrugging. "My work here is done."
End Flashback
"He'll live. Oh yeah, forgot to mention, you're going to get launched there by rocket." Chris said.
"Wait, wha-" Rei started before she and everyone else were suddenly on a rocket as the boats changed to a rocket.
Natsu woke up. "Oh man. That was a good nap. I'm starv-" He said before noticing that he was in the air, along with everyone else.
"WHAT IS GOING ON!?" Natsu yelled.
"This is it! I'm going to die! I won't be able to see the next volume of Lightfall get published!" Lotte said.
"I DIDN'T SIGN UP FOR THISSSSSSSS!" Bren yelled before the rockets stopped. They were suddenly back on the ground. They were on an island with a mansion that looked like it's seen better days.
"Wow. Another island, this time, somehow smaller." Noah said.
"Yep! Cost effective! And best of all, it left enough room in the bank to give you this!" Chris said as Heloise dropped down on a rocket pack.
As she did, one of the hanging floorboards fell and almost hit her.
"Wow. When you said bare minimum, you really meant bare minimum." Heloise said to Chris.
"Did you really think I was going to spend all of that money on an actual expensive mansion?" Chris said before laughing.
"Guess I should have figured as much. Anyways, looks like the transportation works." Heloise said.
"Yep. It's perfect! You should have seen their faces!" Chris said. "By the way! Meet your intern for the season! Heloise!" She waved at everyone.
"I'm just here to make you guys miserable and get paid for it. That's it. And don't try to bribe me. It's not happening." Heloise said.
"F[censored] you Chris." Rick and Reagan said simultaneously before both looked at each other, not expecting the other to say the exact same thing at the same time.
"That wasn't funny." Octavia said.
"Thanks to you my lucky item has been lost." Midorima said, also upset.
"Wait, you still had that, even though it was broken?" Yang asked.
"Of course. As long as it's intact, I'll still carry it." Midorima said.
"Wow. You're more dedicated then I thought." Yang said.
"I'd hardly call that hunk of junk a mansion." Duncan said.
"It's not like it matter anyways. You're going to spending most of your time travelling." Heloise said.
"That's right. Just like in World Tour, you'll be travelling to different worlds across the multiverse. Whether it be by plane, by bus, or by ship, all are possible. Of course, you'll be portaled to some places instantly to avoid violating some intergalactic laws, if they apply. And maybe learn a thing or two about the worlds while you're there too. Now then, that first challenge was to help you get an idea of the people you're going to have to work together with if you want to win. Some of them may be your friends. Others, maybe not so much. But if you can get past all of that, you'll win a grand total of 10 million dollars!"
This caused several eyebrows to raise in surprise because of how much money that was.
"Chris, quick question." Myron said.
"Yep? Is it already if I go and get another scan card for Slazor? Going underwater ruined the scan card." Myron asked.
"Yeah. Speaking of that, mostly to Rick because I don't think anyone else here can do that, keep in mind that in some challenges, I won't allow you to just leave like that." Chris said.
"Do I even have to say it?" Rick said.
"So how will this….. thing be set up?" Diana asked, referring to the "mansion".
"It'll be split into floors. First floor belongs to the Rats, second to the Kings, and third to the Breakers. And no, the rooms will not be communal. The mansion is also split in half. One half of the floor will be for the guys on the team, the other half, for the girls.
"Oh thank goodness." Yang said, looking at Aomine said.
"Give me a break, I'm not going to do anything alright?" Aomine said, annoyed.
"Other than that, that's all I got to say! There will be no eliminations on the first day! I lied about those." Chris said.
"Of course you did." Noah said.
"Enjoy! And make yourselves at home! Also, feel free to use the confessional outhouse there anytime!" Chris said, pointing to the small outhouse not far from where the mansion was.
"Home? You've got to be joking." Weiss said.
"I can't even call this a house." Diana said.
"This is a sorry excuse for shelter. Absolutely pathetic considering what the ships looked like." Karin said.
"They really are the same person aren't they?" Akko said to Sucy.
"Yeah. And it'll just be three times as annoying." Sucy said.
"For some reason, Diana really reminds me of Amity." Luz said.
"Who's that?" Akko said.
"My girlfriend. She's a witch that specializes in abomination magic." Luz said.
"YOUR GIRLFRIEND IS A WITCH!?" Akko shouted, surprised.
"Could you be any louder?" Sucy said annoyed as she yelled in her ear as Akko was right next to her.
"Please don't start yelling like Eijun." Tsukishima said.
"I DON'T YELL!" Eijun said.
"You're doing it now, you moron." Tsukishima said.
"Wait, where are you going?" Sendo asked as he saw Chris leaving.
"My own super cool cottage, obviously." Chris said before he and Chef take the yacht and leave.
"Wait, what!?" Reagan said.
As Chris and Chef left, Reagan threw out the middle finger at Chris.
"Great. Now what are we supposed to do." Aomine said.
"Easy. Make ourselves at home. If we're going to be staying here, we should make it more livable than this pigsty." Sebastian said.
"Good luck with that. Later!" Heloise said before flying off.
"Looks like those skills as a butler are gonna come in handy. I'm down for some cleaning." Sly said.
"Same here." Weiss said.
"Let's all work together and help improve the living conditions. Even if it's just this one day." Eliza said.
"I couldn't agree more." Karin said.
"Well then, what are we waiting for? Let's get to work." Akashi said. They all brought their belongings into the mansion. As they did, Chris watched them on a portable screen.
"And that's the first day!" Chef said.
"Hope they have fun cleaning up while I relax. I'm so glad I don't have to deal with that anymore." Chef said.
"What will the first actual challenge be? Find out on the next episode of Total….. Drama…. Across the Multiverse!" Chris said.
Total Drama Across the Multiverse Fun Fact
"Now for a Total Drama Across the Multiverse fun fact!" Joseph Joestar said.
Focus: Voice Actors
Although Jotaro, Midorima, and Sebastian all have different English VAs with Matt Mercer, Daman Mills and J Michael Tatum respectively, all three have the same Japanese VA, Daisuke Ono, with all three on the same team, the Storm Kings. The only other occurrence of this is on the Radical Rats with Yuri Lowenthal voicing both Albedo and Sena Kobayakawa AKA Eyeshield 21.
Other instances of shared VAs such as Ben Diskin as Aomine and Toxsa, Christina Vee as Hino Rei and Marinette, Ben Schwartz as Dewey Duck and Randy Cunnigham and Zak Saturday and Zak Monday are all on different teams.
A/N: The teams have been set! Let the games begin! The intro challenge was also a sneak peak into the first three challenges as the first three will take place in those worlds! Any favorite team yet? Or contestant? Who do you think will be eliminated first? Leave a comment or review!
I was really close to using Jotaro's theme for the Isagi segment, but I decided to reserve that for a better Jotaro moment that might happen later in the season.
