44. Chris' on It!

"This is Scott Denoga and you're watching Total Drama Across the Multiverse!" Scott called out before writing the TD letters with a wand that wasn't actually there. It was just special effects. "That's it right?"

"Yep! You're good! Thanks." Chris said, giving a thumbs up.

"No problem. That was fun but, I don't know, I had some weird feeling while I was doing that."

"Uh, okay?"

"It feels like, someone I know or should probably know has done this before. Kinda weird."

"No one else ever did this before dude."

"Maybe it's just me then."

"Yeah, maybe so."

Reviews:

G-Man 2.0: I just had to lol. The rickroll had to have some sort of beginning before it. As for that Zak, let's see how he reacts.

Goodguygary: If anything, this'll be a challenge in the island segment of the season. I think I already have all the challenges I want to do in the interdimensional segment even if they haven't all been revealed yet. IF I do it. There is no guarantee that I will as anything could change. Heck, I already have a few challenges I want to do on that segment of the show already decided(some of them are not on the challenge list on the final cast page).

Raysen101: GODDAMN IT! I completely forgot about that. Never played it especially considering I never got an Xbox until a few years ago with XB One, but I've watched it. Forgot how much of a meme that song was. I'm so mad at myself for missing an opportunity like that lol.

Chris was seen standing on the island by himself. "Last time on Total Drama Across the Multiverse!"

"After one long week, the teams returned! And of course, I had to give them a warm welcome. A nice warm place to kick back and eat in, that was also cost effective. Double win!"

Footage of some of the contestants eating in and eventually voicing their complaints to Chris about the hot air in the main lodge was shown.

"And speaking of winning and double, for this challenge, for once, there would be no double elimination, so you could score second and you'd be fine. What was the challenge, you ask? A simple dance challenge! The rules? Well, they varied in each round, but there were a couple of things that would stay the same. Messing up would set your team back, and winning a round would grant your team a point. Win 2 rounds and you win the challenge. And man, the dancing wasn't too bad for some of them if I had to be honest."

Footage of the first three rounds was shown.

"And oh yeah, I planned out the themes for the second and third rounds. So as Rei guessed, those pairs were intentional. But that Deadpool entrance wasn't. Luckily for him, he didn't mess things up with it though. His picks weren't too bad so I'll give him that."

Footage of Deadpool appearing in the second round and the round suddenly changing to having to dance to Never Gonna Give You Up by Rick Astley was shown.

"As for who won and how? Well first, we had to go to a fourth round for sudden death, something I honestly didn't see coming but hey, it didn't hurt the runtime too much so it wasn't that big of a deal."

Footage of the final round was shown, including Skipper trying to get in Shiro's head and the Zaks trying to take each other out or disrupt each other a couple of times.

"But anyways, it was the Rats that won. By a mushroom. No, I'm not joking. Sucy, seemingly right after I explicitly said powers were okay, decided to just bring out a mushroom via one of her potions. No rhyme or reason or foreshadowing. Just a mushroom. Probably guessing it was just to knock everyone else out and catch people off guard. Which honestly worked. On everyone except Nimona that is. She was able to land on the ground and secure her team second place by means of two tiebreakers: No Kings were left standing, and her team had less strikes, 2 for the Kings compared to only one for the Breakers prior to the mushroom incident."

Footage of Sucy growing the large mushroom via a potion was seen.

"Anyways, weirdness aside, the elimination was straightforward. Since this was a sudden death, then the losers had to send someone that competed from the four off. And in this case, it was either Skipper, Zak, Huey Duck or Bachira. Latter two didn't do much so they were pretty much automatically safe. It was either Skipper for messing with Shiro or Zak for making that gamble with his counterpart. And it was Zak. From not just that, but from a usefulness standpoint too. No Cryptids meant the majority of their team felt they'd lose less from losing Zak compared to the others."

Footage of Zak being eliminated was shown.

"Wonder how Doyle feels about this?"

"Eh. If you thought I was gonna come on and try to fight someone or cry, that's not gonna happen." Doyle said, appearing with a drink in his hand. It was a strawberry smoothie. "Look, I think it sucks he's gone since I was rooting for him, but it's not the end of the world. As long as it was fair and made sense, I'm fine with it. Besides, he took it pretty well, so good on him. Will say this though, man mini, your other self's gone. Congrats I guess but….. whatcha gonna do now? 'Cause at the rate you're going, you're gonna be joining him real soon."

"Good to know. Just like I hope you all know that we're about to start another episode of Total…. Drama….. Across the Multiverse! Right now!"

*Total Drama Across the Multiverse Intro II Plays*

The teams were already seen in the main lodge eating another meal. This meal not being as great as the last one.

"You know, not being forced to eat this is the only thing I'd ever be envious of my sorry double for." Zak M. said, looking at the hard macaroni on his spoon. It was barely cooked and had cheese warmed and melted on it to call it a day.

"New island, same old half-baked food. And in the case of here you can say that literally." Marinette said, trying to eat the green beans and mashed potatoes served along with chicken tenders. Only for the green bean to wilt over.

"How do you mess up chicken nuggies? How!?" Akko said in disbelief.

"I wouldn't wish having to eat this every day on my worst enemy." Reagan said.

"I would." Dan said, passing by, shamelessly throwing the food out.

"What a total downgrade." Fiona remarked, trying to pick up some of the mashed potatoes only for her spoon to get stuck in it. She tried her hardest to get the spoon out only for the entire spoon, and the potatoes as it was still stuck in it to go flying and hit Paul in the face, who wasn't pleased at all. Especially considering the fact that the potatoes were hard.

"Has anyone ever tried protesting?" Molly suggested, at a table with Fiona, Courtney, Rei, Kise, Kagami, Ruby G., Marinette, Adrien and Riley.

"Yeah. Already did that. It worked. Until it didn't." Courtney said.

"What? I'm not the only that thinks that doesn't make sense, right? Right?" Scratch said.

"That doesn't even make any sense." Fiona said.

"See?"

"I know it doesn't. But that's why it's so stupid. He used the excuse of us leaving to the film lot to walk things back."

"Well, something needs to be done around here. I don't know about you all, but having to deal with this for the rest of the time we're here is not something I plan on doing. And Murasakibara doesn't need to be eating nothing but junk food like he's doing now. That cannot be good for his teeth, gums, and just his body overall." Rei said as she, Kagami, Natsu and most of the others that asked, had their food heated by either her or Natsu with their abilities. It wasn't the best but it was at least serviceable.

Murasakibara, meanwhile, was at another table, eating the seemingly endless assortment of snacks that he had from the wagon before he joined the season. With Todd, Zee, Reimu and Ruby Rose more than happy to join him, with his permission to share of course.

"I mean, he's been doing that for years. Believe it or not, he was apart of the health committee back in middle school so I think he'll be fine." Kise said.

"Still though, that has to have some effect on his body right? He's literally been eating that instead of regular meals." Adrien said.

"Probably why he looks so lumpish all the time." Marinette said.

"If it has, I'm not seeing it." Kise said.

Jenny and Kaz tried the same thing, with Kaz using Falgor to try and help heat others' food up, but neither of those worked out, as they ended up burning the food to ash, to the horror of Kaz's latest victim, Eijun. Unlike the others, who frowned at them or was disappointed, Eijun was the one that decided to actually grab him, pick him up and angrily shake him.

A/N: Falgor also has limited fire manipulation as well. It gained this after evolving but for whatever reason Kaz only ever used it once. Nowhere as potent as say Rei, Natsu or Magmortar but I guess it makes sense as fire isn't it's main strength.

"Note to self, don't use Falgor as a pocket microwave again!" Kaz said as Eijun was shouting at him.

Though it was Shiro's reaction to Jenny that garnered the most attention.

"Sorry." Jenny said.

He grunted before picking up his tray and walking away.

"I know you're trying to help, but that wasn't a good idea." Hailey remarked.

"Yeah. Chris just needs to get better food, period. And this is coming from someone that doesn't need to eat."

"Not just that." Hailey said before lowering her voice. "You know?"

"Know what?" Nimona asked, passing by.

"When he gets angry? Remember?"

"Look, it was a mistake, I'm sure he understands I was trying to help." Jenny said.

"Are you though?"

"So just because of one mistake that wasn't even his fault, we're just not going to help him now?" Nimona asked in disbelief, and a little upset that Hailey would say this.

"I never said we couldn't help him."

"Then what are you saying then? No one ever talked to him the last time we were here. People here were willing to help Haizaki. So why not Shiro?"

"Haizaki is a different situation. And I think you should practice what you preach. No one includes you too."

"Different how?"

Mr. Wolf suddenly appeared, getting in between the three of them. "Okay, that's enough. Don't care if you say there's nothing's going on. Even if there isn't, let's keep it that way."

"Challenge time folks! Let's get movin'!" Chris called out.

***Confessional***

Jenny(Wave Breakers):

"I am supposed to be multi-purpose after all. But, I guess being a living microwave isn't one of those multiple purposes."

"But as for Shiro, what I was doing was completely different than what Chris did. That wasn't funny. Just because of one incident doesn't mean I'm going to act differently around him like some of the people here are."

***End Confessional***

***Confessional***

Mr. Wolf(Wave Breakers):

"Yeah, I've been noticing what's been going on with Shiro. He's been silent but, this silent is a lot different than the other silent we've usually been getting from him. If that makes sense. Hopefully I can get a chance to talk to him this challenge and pick his brain for a bit."

***End Confessional***

***Confessional***

Hailey(Wave Breakers):

"I'm not wishing for things with Shiro to get worse. Honest. But if what Myron says is true, what exactly are we supposed to say to him? Like the others said with Haizaki, it's a two-way street. Shiro has to be willing to talk to us. And so far, that's not looking to be the case."

***End Confessional***

"Alright, now that you've gotten a chance to eat or whatever and we've gotten a chance to kick out that unwanted guest, we can get started." Chris said.

"Any idea where she came from?" Adrien asked.

"Nope. And wherever she did come from, it doesn't matter now. Just know that we're not letting something like that happen again. Not on our watch anyway."

"You mean my watch." Heloise corrected.

"Nope. Our sounds about right." This only caused the intern to roll her eyes. "Anyways, we're gonna have to portal for this one. So let's get going!" Chris said before opening a portal for them to all go in.

***Confessional***

Chris:

"So we decided to discard the vehicles too. Why? We plan on upgrading them to give our contestants a better experience."

"And as for that guest, from the looks of things, she was from another Total Drama season. Don't know any details other than that, but seriously, whichever Chris decided to do that, not cool dude. Not cool at all. Luckily that wasn't during a challenge, because if it was, I would have definitely retaliated. Ah who am I kidding. If it wasn't for Shiro pushing things back I probably would have done it anyway. I send Hiruma there with all of his guns and I'm willing to bet 8 out of 10 times that he'll be enough to make sure no one from any other season somewhere else doesn't try that again. I say 8 because there's still a chance that some other Chris might decide to counter with someone scarier than him."

***End Confessional***

Oceanside, California(Hailey's on It!)

The teams exited the portal and were greeted with several people walking past them surprised as they appeared out of nowhere. They appeared to have been in an amusement park. The confessional, of course, was right behind them.

"What the- why would you put us in the middle of an amusement park?" Heather asked.

"Uh, because it's where your challenge is going to start? Duh." Chris said.

"And you couldn't just put us in a park and walk us there because?"

"Because it's faster. Besides, it's a public space. Other than a few people looking at us, it's not like it'll be a big deal. We'll fit right in."

"Because a hundred plus people, with, no offense, some of them being aliens, and in my case, being a talking wolf, appearing out of nowhere in a portal means we'll fit right in." Mr. Wolf said sarcastically.

"As long as you don't do anything stupid, you're good."

"For whatever reason, this place looks familiar." Scott said.

"That's because it is familiar. We're in Oceanside! I recognize some of these rides from anywhere!" Hailey said.

"Correctamundo Hailey! Welcome to Oceanside, California, the home of two of our competitors here, Hailey and Scott!"

"So wait, we're going to be doing an amusement park challenge?" Sena asked.

"With our training in the last amusement park we were in, this'll be easy!" Monta said confidently.

"Training? Why were you training in an amusement park?" Ruby R. asked.

"Don't fall for that. 'Training' translates to slacking off in that case." Aomine said.

"Yeah. You would know." Kise said.

"Shut your trap blondie."

"Actually, we were training in an amusement park. In the Of Doom."

"Training or not, don't expect to just be having a jolly ol' time here. Because, well, you're not. I said this would be the start of your challenge. I never said this was going to be where your challenge was going to be." Chris said.

"This would make a good challenge though." Scott noted.

"Sure. You can your contestants do that if you want. When you have your own show."

"Honestly, that's a great idea."

"I'm sure it is. But right now, I don't care. Anyways, your real challenge is to do mundane tasks off a list. Each team will be given a list of things to do. Complete the task and then check it off the list. Bring the list back to us completed and you pass the challenge. But that's not what'll decide who wins. It's who gets here first. The team that completes the list and shows it to one of us first wins." Chris began to explain.

"And don't worry, you'll have a decent amount of time to complete the tasks. You'll have 3 hours to complete the list. I'm not going to hunt you down and remind you of how much time is left, nor are the others. This is a whole freaking city. You really think I'm going to do that? So I really suggest you have someone do it for you that won't forget. And no, don't think you pull one over on us and wait a couple of hours, come back and then check off the list as if you did them. That's not going to work. You need actual proof to show that you did them. What that proof is varies from task to task. But if you don't have that proof with you, I don't care if you actually did the task or not, it won't count. In the odd case that none of you complete the list on time, we'll decide things from how many tasks were completed. Here are the books right here." Chris said as Chef handed Jotaro, Emma and Kageyama the small hardcover color-coded books for each team. "Color-coded too to avoid confusion."

"You can copy and send the list between yourselves to make sure you get it done. I don't care how you do it, or if you don't do it at all. Just make sure you bring that list back. That's all that matters. Now, any questions before we get started?"

"If this is done, do we have to stick together, or can we split up?" Jenny asked.

"Whatever you want to do. Doesn't matter to me. I'll leave all of that up to you." Chris said.

"Just to verify, we are allowed to use abilities, tools, etcetera to help us, correct?" Myron asked.

"Absolutely. Whatever you need to do to get it done. Just know that if you destroy something or get into trouble I'm not responsible." Chris said. "Any other questions?"

"I know there's the case of the more the merrier, but this is a lot of people. We could just as easily get confused. So-" Mr. Wolf started before Chris interrupted him, anticipating exactly what he was about to ask him.

"You're about to ask about how many people are going to be doing this. 10. And no, I'm not going to let you just pick all the fast guys and breeze through this. That'd be way too easy. Plus, if we go under the time I'd have to find something else for you guys to do, 'cause I'm sure as heck not sending you guys home early." Chris said.

"And what about the people that aren't going to be competing?"

"Well, you can either stay here in the amusement park or head back to the island. Your choice. But you won't be able to directly interfere with anyone on the opposing team. If you want to talk to someone on your team or whatever, that's fine. Any more questions?"

None were given.

"Alright then."

"Sendo, Emma, Hiruma, Rei, Monta, Rocky, both Beckys, Zero, Dawn, Albedo and Murasakibara! You're up for the Rats!"

"Kings! Blake, Heather, Octavia, Penny, Reimu, Mayuzumi, Courtney, Louie, Rook, Akashi, Huey Duck and Eliza!"

"Hailey, Randy, Scott, Ryoma, Nimona, Julie, Karin, Jenny, Hanamiya, Molly, Eijun and Shiro! Breakers! You'll all be broken up into groups of two. And, here are said groups:

"Sendo and Rocky! Becky Farrah and Murasakibara Dawn and Albedo! Mamori and Hiruma! Zero and Becky Botsford! And Monta and Rei for the Rats!"

"Blake and Octavia! Rook and Eliza! Mayuzumi and Courtney! Louie and Reimu! Huey and Maki! And Penny and Heather for the Kings!"

"And finally, Ryoma and Eijun, Randy and Scott! Hanamiya and Molly! Nimona and Shiro! Karin and Jenny! And Julie and Hailey! Your three hours starts…. Now!"

"Wait, what do you mean now? We haven't even looked at the list yet." Kaz said.

"Sounds like a personal problem. I mean you could have looked at the list now instead of telling me about it. Just saying."

***Confessional***

Heather(Storm Kings):

"Now's our chance. We can get rid of Hiruma right now. Sure, that won't be the end of their team, but it'll still hurt them a lot and that's all that matters. Plus, we don't have to worry about his annoying guns anymore."

***End Confessional***

***Confessional***

Hanamiya(Wave Breakers):

Hanamiya had a disgusted look on his face. "Great. Now I've got to team up with her. Too bad I won't be able to just ditch her and get this done on my own. So, to my chagrin, I've got to play along. And if things go wrong, well….. I could always just pin things on her."

***End Confessional***

***Confessional***

Kagami(Radical Rats):

"After what he did the last time he was in a challenge, I don't trust that dude to be loyal to his team one bit. You could say what you want about Kirisaki Daichi, but the difference there is all of those guys on the team with him are dirty a[censored]holes like him. This team? He's got no reason to give a damn about any of them. Hell, I don't even know if he cares about Urien or Zak, and they fit the bill of perfect teammates for him. Hence why he can sleep at night content at what he almost did to Libby."

"I know I'm not exactly in a position to do anything since I'm not in this challenge but, I'm hoping he doesn't pull the same crap with Molly."

***End Confessional***

"Some of these are pretty strange. But nothing we can't handle." Emma said. "I think."

"Good luck. How many challenges have you been in already?" Kagami asked Rei as the two stood in front of one another.

"More than you. That's all I know. Jealous?" Rei teased.

"Tch, whatever. And yeah, I am. Now I know how Sendo feels."

"Shut your trap Romeo." Sendo said. "You're lucky you don't have get paired with him." He said, thumbing to Rocky.

"Come on, it'll be fun. I promise not to slow ya down fisticuffs." Rocky said, jumping on his head before Sendo pulled him down by his tail.

"And you're gonna eat these fisticuffs if you screw up."

"I'd much rather pancakes, thank you very much."

"Scott and I have experience doing this type of thing, so I think we'll be in good shape. Even if some of these are admittedly pretty tough." Hailey said to the 10 other participating teammates outside of Scott himself who was the eleventh.

"Which is a good thing too, because you're going to be doing this without my help." Beta said.

"Don't tell me you're really following through on that whole thing you did in the Aftermath are you?"

"What? No! Look at where we are! If someone you know sees me, people are going to ask questions! Now that's it for me. You're on your own. Until this challenge, consider me as just another regular stuffed bear." He said before falling to the ground.

"And if you need me, I'll be here." Scratch said before eating more snacks. "Good luck Molly!"

"I mean, it's not like we needed you for the past 17 other episodes so….." Tsukishima commented.

"Oh you need me alright. You need a challenge to scare the crap outta someone, you expect Molly or Libby to do it?"

"Hey! I can be scary if I wanted. Just get me a voice amplifier, black clothes and fake blood and you've got a good scare." Molly said.

"And a supervillain theme song. Don't forget that." Scott said.

"Do villains even do that anymore?" Akko asked.

"Well yeah, but most of 'em suck nowadays." Kagami said.

"The villains or the songs?"

"Both."

"Well, if there's one thing for sure, you don't need a musical to make Godzilla good. How many movies has that had now?" Aomine said.

"A lot. That's all I know." Kise said.

"Don't need a theme to make a villain good. Ask Dreamworks that." Rick said.

"Kinda funny that people were entertained by characters expressing how unhinged and evil they were in a song." Doyle said.

"Wait a second, I thought you don't watch movies Kagamicchi?" Kise said.

"Yeah. Not much nowadays. And not because of the whole thing about how everything new sucks. I couldn't give a damn about that. I just don't have time for it because I'm busy with other stuff." Kagami said.

"By stuff, you mean basketball?" Rei asked.

"Pretty much."

"And wait a second, how can you say they suck when you don't even watch?"

"She's right about that. Don't knock it til you try it." Zee said.

"I'm serious. Trust me. I'm not a part of that whole hate brigade shtick. If I say somethin' sucks, it's because I honestly think it sucks. If I like somethin', it's because I really do think it's good. Not because of somebody else's opinions. I only see a couple in my free time. And that's really rare. It's mostly just clips for me." Kagami said.

"Here's a thought: With that logic, don't the people that say that now think about the fact that people probably would have said that about their favorite stuff back then too?" Doyle reasoned.

"Well no, duh. If they did, they would have realized how hypocritical as hell that is." Reagan sad.

"You guys say that about movies, try being someone really into the gaming scene like me. Always gotta hear about how modern gaming sucks. Which I mean is half true but come on." Toxsa said before seeing one of the things on the list.

"Never took those people seriously. Play what you want." Hanamiya said.

"You play games dude?" Randy asked.

"Somewhere in the middle. Wouldn't call myself hardcore like Toxsa is."

"Speaking of gaming, hope you guys are ready. You'll be lucky to not rage quit number 13 unless you've got some serious mad skills." Toxsa said.

"Why? Have you done this one before?"

"Nope. Never played 'em. But I do know that any boss rush is bad news. Add on to the fact that there's no checkpoints or save state options? You guys better be ready."

"Nothing I can't handle. We'll take 13." Randy said.

"Forget the games, look at the rest of these. This is ridiculous!" Karin said in disbelief.

"Quit whinin' and get goin'! You're wasting time!" Bad Launch called out.

"Ten minutes to be exact." Heloise said, looking at the timer.

"I've got dibs on number 19!" Nimona called out. "Hey Shiro!"

Shiro turned. "What?"

"I know for sure I can take that one with ease. But I think we should do that last and do some others. So, what do you think? Good plan?"

"As long as we get it done to win, it's fine by me."

"Sweet! Let's go with the roller coaster first!" She said before running off. Shiro could only look on as he slowly followed her before Tsukikage was beginning to follow him.

"Tsukikage, stay here." Shiro ordered.

It made a few noises, which translated to asking him, "Why?"

"The other teams are using different forms of communication with one another. Or at least developing it for long distance challenges. We should do the same thing. I'm sure Myron and Reagan can come up with something. Tsukikage, PEL, Jenny, Bass and I would assume Beta as well should be linked too. Even if it's not ready for this one, it'll be ready for future challenges where we can see what's going on." Shiro said before leaving to follow Nimona.

"Bold of you to assume I can do that and just walk off. Not even a thank you." Reagan said.

"Even so, he does bring up a good point." Myron said.

"And that's what annoys me the most. He's right and was a bit of a jerk about it."

"Not really. I mean yeah he should have asked, but it's not like he was intentionally trying to be a you know what." Doyle said.

"'You know what?' Just say what you're really trying to say. We're not some innocent little toddlers." Zak M. said.

"Yeah, but what about the peeps watching back home? Gotta keep it PG."

"Isn't that what the censorship is for? I mean I personally don't care what you say. Long as it doesn't cross the line of being super weird." Heloise said as Monta, in the background, proudly declared that he would take on the challenge of keeping your eyes open.

"How weird are we talking?"

"Remember the Ruckus guy from the last time I was here? For those that remember or were even watching anyway. Unironically saying that stuff, among other things. Everyone here knows what I'm talking about when it comes to crossing the line. Which probably wouldn't happen from what I've seen so far. Everyone talks about Hiruma and how unhinged he and some of the others here are, but like, this is very tame compared to other seasons."

"Yeah. Least people don't get murdered and no one does anything about it. Forget lack of evidence, you have a person literally killing people to take them out of the competition permanently. Stop the show. Watch the cameras. Do something! If it happened twice who's to say it's not gonna happen again?"

"For what? You're being way too soft. You're gonna stop a show because people are getting killed. That's retarded. Just do it while the show's going on." Rick said.

"Like I said, no murdering! If you get caught killing someone intentionally, you're gone! Just wanted to give that friendly reminder. Total Drama condones violence, backstabbing, drama, etcetera, but we do not condone killing!" Chris interjected.

"If being soft means actually caring about people, then I guess I'll be soft." Bennett said.

"Not saying he's not right moron. Just his way of going about it is stupid. It's a business. You think most of these companies give a damn about you like that? News flash, they don't." Rick said.

"My thoughts exactly Rick." Dan said.

"Yeah, didn't ask for your thoughts though." Rick said.

"Well you got em anyway, so to that I say, deal with it."

"And to you I say f[censored] off."

"You wanna talk about the murdering, let's talk about stuff pertinent to the game. Hiring an intern who was a villain from a previous season. No offense to that Chris, but that was a terrible idea. I don't care what conditions were made. Considering what happened, it didn't look like they really mattered much anyway. You do that and you're asking for things to go south with rigging." Rally said.

"Honestly, I kinda like that idea. Easy way to stir up some drama because people think the game is rigged." Chris said.

"As if we already don't have enough of that going on here already. You don't need anymore ideas Chris." Maki said before adding, "Not saying you guys are wrong, but we're not exactly squeaky clean either. Two injuries, the island getting frozen, the host gets punched and the mansion gets destroyed. It's better than someone getting killed but that's not a high bar to climb."a

*Cough* "Doyle" *Cough* Reagan remarked.

"Look, I already established day one that I wasn't going to rig things for him. I was gonna let the chips fall where they may. If he wins, awesome. But I want him to actually earn it. If I was, he wouldn't have went out the last episode."

"Did she….. turn off?" Isagi asked, referring to Penny, surprised at how completely still and silent she was being, volunteering to keep her eyes open.

"Nope. She's not off. She's completely fine. Trust me. She'll get it done." Ruby said confidently.

"If you say so."

The younger Becky stayed to try to solve the Rubiks cube that Heloise gave to her while Hailey decided to do so as well. For the Kings, Courtney stayed behind as Mayuzumi preferred to get the things he needed to get done by himself.

"Rook, do you think you can handle some of these tasks on your own?" Eliza asked.

"Yes, I suppose so. But why do you ask?" Rook responded.

"With our proficient skills, I think it would be better for us to split up. Although, just to be safe, Skipper, you don't happen to have anything like grenades or sleeping darts for the animals do you?"

"Grenades huh? Depends. What kind?" Skipper asked.

"Explosive, Flashbang and Smoke if you please."

"Good thing I happened to have a few with me on hand. Otherwise, you'd be screwed. Next time, come prepared to battle with your own weapons!" He said, tossing her a small gun with a dart in it and a couple of grenades.

"Of course! Thank you!" Eliza said with a grateful smile before she and Rook departed.

"Forget the Rubiks cube, someone needs to keep an eye on Hiruma." Heather said impatiently to Courtney.

"And waste time in the process?" Isagi countered.

"The past few times he's been in challenges he's found ways to screw us over and either save his team from elimination or rob us for a win. So let's not pretend as if he's just some nobody."

"Which is exactly why we need to finish the items on this list as soon as possible. If we beat them, we won't have anything to worry about. Hence why you should, I don't know, get to work on the other tasks?" Courtney said.

"Fine. But you better make it quick. I might….. need your help." Heather said. "Bren or someone, keep count to make sure that's 10 minutes."

"You got it." Bren said.

"I can get started with some of the other tasks. You stay here and get those ten minutes done. With what else is on this list, that can easily be forgotten." Rei told Monta.

"Right!" Monta said before nodding.

"Well, better make myself useful and keep count." Noah said.

***Confessional***

Courtney(Storm Kings):

"Look, I completely get where she's coming from with this. But at the same time, not sure if anyone has noticed but Hiruma hasn't exactly done much, if anything these past few challenges. Not saying he's still not a threat, but compared to how he was in the beginning and what happened in the talent show challenge, he hasn't exactly been making too much noise. If we're going to be able to actually eliminate him, we have to actually win."

***End Confessional***

Meanwhile, Louie was with Becky, Murasakibara and Reimu.

"Just to check, we have the same lists, right?" Louie asked, showing his phone as he took pictures of the list. Rook was the one that had the real list as they felt he could be the most trusted to not lose it.

"Looks like it." Becky Farrah said, looking at the small notebook that she had.

"Are you really just using a notebook? Why?"

"Because, that way I can easily check off the items that we plan on doing on the list. It'd take way too much time to try to do everything and it'd get redundant and confusing. Instead, we decided to split things up and tell Cicini when we're done." Becky said. "She's got my laptop right now and she'll save it herself."

"Ohhhh. Keeping multiple copies huh? Smart. But uh, if that's the case, aren't you a little concerned about the fact that they can hear us?"

"Nope, they can't. Made sure the mic was off." Becky said, being the only one that had one at the time. Murasakibara didn't, nor did he care enough to ask for one.

"Look, are we gonna get this list done or not? I'm ready to get this crap over with." Murasakibara said impatiently.

"Of course. Now let's get going."

"To the skeeballs I hope."

***Confessional***

Louie(Storm Kings):

"I don't consider this cheating. I call this 'collaboration'. And besides, it's not like Chris explicitly said we weren't allowed to help each other. If he said we couldn't, that'd be one thing, but…. He didn't, so I think we're good. As long as we win that is."

***End Confessional***

Focusing on another group for the Rats, Rocky was navigating the park with Sendo.

"So which ones on the list are we tackling first, twin?" Rocky asked.

"First of all, don't ever call me your twin again. Second, we already said which ones we're doin'. You like to have fun, right? Well this should be a good one. Roller coaster first." Sendo said. "One at a time."

***Confessional***

Sendo(Radical Rats):

"I actually got Becky to give me a copy of the list that she wrote. And since I don't have a phone, she gave me one of her cameras too. Not exactly sure what she needs 'em for but she has a crap ton of 'em with her for some reason, hence why she wasn't worried about taking pictures when I asked her about taking her only camera. I'm not tellin' Rocky a thing about the list though. Knowing him, he'll have found a way to lose it and it'll make things even more confusing later on. Then I'll have to really strangle him."

***End Confessional***

Meanwhile, Ryoma and Eijun were also headed to a roller coaster ride.

"So which ones do you think we should do first?" Ryoma asked his teammates.

"TO THE ROLLER COASTER!" Eijun declared.

"Hmm, that is the closest." Ryoma said.

The duo headed to the roller coaster, with Eijun unknowingly trampling over Octavia, who was with Blake.

"What the hell is wrong with you?" Octavia said, getting up.

"WHAT ARE YOU TWO DOING HERE!?" Eijun shouted.

"Uh, completing the list?" Blake said.

"We have to beat them! Let's go! Let's go!" Eijun shouted to the others with Ryoma being the first one to react, leaping and jumping into one of the carts.

"Hey! You can't skip the line!" One of the regular people that were in line complained.

"Sorry, but I'm gonna have to ask you to step out of the cart." The attendant running the ride said.

"I'm sorry but I cannot. We must ride this for our challenge." Ryoma said.

"Challenge or not, I don't care. Step out of the cart."

"Just make an exception! Can't you see this is for something important!?" Eijun said.

"What an idiot." Octavia commented.

"I don't care how important it is. Either get out of the cart, or I'm going to have to get someone involved to remove you." The attendant said before suddenly feeling something crawling all over him. He desperately tried to get it off but couldn't. The source being a red mouse. The mouse being Nimona.

"Screw your rules! We've got a challenge to win!" Nimona called out. "Hey Shiro! Put these guys on ice!"

Shiro could only sigh. He didn't want to do this, but he had no choice.

"Wolver!"

Bringing out said machine, he used it to break up the line and trip up the attendant. Though he didn't expect him to fall on the lever and start the ride, leaving Ryoma on it. The ride was composed of several sudden starts and stops along with zig-zags, something that Ryoma was not expecting.

"This is worse than the Skimmers and my time flying with Falcon combined!" Ryoma shouted before feeling something come up in his stomach. He tried to hold it in, which to his credit, was successful for about a minute or so, but he couldn't handle it anymore and he threw up. When he came back, Ryoma had a sickly look on his face.

"It looks like we'll have to start over again." Ryoma said.

"Oh no you don't. You're not starting anything over." One of the security guards said after the attendant went to get someone to address what had just happened.

"Dude, this is why I told you to use the ice. They'll be fine! I'll just thaw them out when we're done." Nimona said, turning into a dragon to scare them all away.

"I suggest you take cover." Shiro said to Blake and Octavia, both of whom nodded before he activated Blizzard Storm and froze everyone but himself, Octavia, Blake, Ryoma and Eijun.

"What did you do?" Ryoma said, horrified, but not with as much emotion as he wanted as he was still recovering.

"Nice job Shiro! Let's go!" Eijun said before the three were back in one of the carts. As they were about to get in, Rocky and Sendo, after coming from one other ride, failing numerous times thanks to Rocky, were approaching.

Eijun saw this and immediately pulled the lever before getting in himself. Or trying to anyway.

"What the- what the heck are you doing!?" Octavia said to Eijun before he sped off seconds later, yelling as he was trying his hardest to not fall out of the cart.

"He saw us comin' and did that crap on purpose!" Sendo said, balling up a fist. "When he comes back, I'm gonna murder him!"

But, to Eijun's credit, he did come back from the ride fine, even if his lungs and legs weren't. Though with how Sendo picked him up, it would have seemed it was going to be more than that wasn't going to be in good shape either.

"You stupid kid! I know you did that crap on purpose!" Sendo said, shaking him before he threw up on him.

"Now I'm really gonna murder ya!" He said, even angrier now. This gave Wolver the opportunity to ht hs leg hard enough to make hm fall and drop Eijun. The trio ran off. Though things got worse when he noticed that Rocky and the Kings were gone.

"Son of a-" Sendo could only growl in frustration before he was sent flying by Nimona, who had turned into a bull.

"Well? What are you guys waiting for? Hop on!"

"No thanks." Ryoma quickly declined after being recently on a roller coaster. "Besides, it's probably best that we split up so this won't happen again. I think us going to do the same thing was an accident."

"I would but, I think I'd feel even worse than now." Eijun said.

"Ohhhhhh. Right. Shiro?" Nimona offered.

"I think I'm fine on foot." Shiro said.

"Suit yourself." She said before changing back to normal as they headed outside the amusement park to do more items on the list, walking past Hanamiya and Molly who were in the middle of a ball throwing game, knocking down targets.

"Wow, you're really good at these games!" Molly complimented.

"Thanks. You're not too bad yourself." Hanamiya said before they received more prizes, handing the stuffed animals to kids that passed by.

"You're really giving this to me?" One boy asked Hanamiya.

"Of course! Take it! It's all yours." Hanamiya said, smiling before noticing Nimona and Shiro out the corner of his eye, something that Molly also noticed.

"Oh! Hey!" Molly waved to the two.

"Probably a good idea not to distract them. Looks like they're headed to do something else. Could you go on ahead and take care of some of the other things on the list while I find a bathroom?"

"Sure! I got ya covered!"

"Thanks."

"Was really looking forward to doing that roller coaster ride though." Nimona said to Shiro as they were already back in the streets.

"I don't see why. The others were already there." Shiro said before he could sense someone watching or trailing them. That person being Hanamiya, who made his presence known as he had his phone in hand, reading the script of Total Drama Cruise out loud.

A/N: Shiro, as a Wolfgar, is canon to have enhanced eyesight, hence why he can still see Wolver even during it's lightning dash and why most other people think it's a teleport when it isn't. I'd imagine he has enhanced hearing as well.

"Well yeah, I know that, but I still wanted to do it. All those sudden starts and stops in the air like that. Sounds like a good time. Speaking of which….. what exactly do you like to do?"

"What?" Shiro was confused by this sudden question.

Hanamiya moved to another part of the street, out of sight of Shiro.

"You know, what do you like to do for fun?"

Shiro gave no response.

"Come on! You guys have cars with awesome powers like that and you don't know? Dude!"

"Don't you think we should be focused on the challenge instead of asking me these questions?"

"Multi-tasking my dude. Besides, just running from challenge to challenge without saying anything is boring. So why not learn about each other you know? I'm not saying spill all your secrets, but, you know, say what you like to do, things like that."

"Your talking hasn't exactly gotten us in a position to win."

"Huh?"

This got Hanamiya interested enough to actually start recording from his phone, staying in distance enough to catch their voices, but not close enough to make Shiro and Nimona to become suspicious of him.

***Confessional***

Hanamiya(Wave Breakers):

"No pun intended, but after what happened before, I can imagine that Shiro is already on thin ice. Unless someone comes up with a permanent solution for what happened before, the sooner he leaves, the better. The problem is, it'd be at the cost of gutting our team of five very good players too early. And with how strong the other two teams are, we could easily fall apart before any merge takes place, me with it. Hopefully I don't have to resort to this, but if so, I guess I'll just have to figure something out later on to keep things afloat."

"As for why I'm doing this instead of hiding, easy. Hiding will only make me look suspicious. If I put myself out in the open, in this case, there's less of a chance those two, moreso Shiro, will think something's up."

***End Confessional***

"If you would have been paying attention we would have been somewhere else instead of going to the same thing our teammates were headed, losing time." Shiro said to Nimona.

"What? You followed me too!"

"Even so, I didn't start immediately charging in without a plan."

As he said this, Hanamiya passed by, earphones in his ear as he jogging. Shiro gave him a bit of a look out the corner of his eye as Nimona was responding.

"Uh dude, it's just doing stuff on a list, not a heist. We don't need a plan! We do the stuff on the list, easy in, easy out."

"Apparently we do." Shiro said before sighing. "I knew I should have brought Tsukikage along to keep track of things."

"Look, if we're gonna work together, we gotta at least be able to get along. We're not enemies."

"I never said we were."

"But it seems like you're making it as if we are. I know you're feeling a little differently around the others after what happened at the talent show. But it was an accident. You can't use something that wasn't your fault to make you afraid to open up and be around other people."

"If you're done, we've got a challenge to do."

Nimona stopped. "Okay. But still, I want you to know that we don't look at you as what you were in the talent show. The same way people were willing to try to help Haizaki is the same way people are willing to help you. No pun intended but, we're not going to leave you out in the cold. Promise."

"If I ask for your help, I'll let you know. Now let's get going. We're wasting time."

***Confessional***

Nimona(Wave Breakers):

"Yep! That's a thank you!"

***End Confessional***

Focusing on another group of contestants, the Breakers, Julie, Jenny and Karin were all grouped together. And in their case, they were planning on taking on climbing the Eiffel tower first with Jenny being the one to volunteer for this challenge. There was only one problem: By the time she got there, someone was already at the top: Rook.

"Greetings." Rook said.

"Hi." Jenny said in a deadpan voice, not happy that she wasn't the first one to make it to the top. With Jenny about to reach the top, Rook, using the grapple feature on his Proto-Tool, he descended to try and reach the bottom in the safest way possible.

***Confessional***

Rook(Storm Kings):

"Yes, I could have easily dropped the backpack. But there is the risk of it hitting someone else that is climbing, or any citizen at the bottom."

***End Confessional***

Though this wasn't what Eliza was doing in the slightest. She could care less about the tasks at the moment. Her teammates looked to have been more capable of getting the job done as proven before.

She in fact, was trying to find Hiruma, who was in fact, reading out loud in a public area, amplifying the volume even more with a megaphone as Mamori was recording him with a video camera.

What she didn't know was that someone was also trying to find her. And was successful at doing so as they watched from a distance.

"I don't like this idea. We should be helping the team finish the challenge, not go out and seek petty revenge." Dawn said low to Albedo as they were watching Eliza.

"You keep expressing this to me as if I am going to change my mind. I am not." Albedo said.

"But have you thought about the consequences you could face if this fails?"

"I have. And it won't. If you want to help the team, then stay out of my way. When I'm done here, you'll still need to assist me in the challenge."

Albedo said before beginning to walk towards Eliza. Though he was stopped by Dawn grabbing his arm forcefully.

"What are you doing? Let go!" Albedo said, trying to pull his arm free from her grip but couldn't.

"I'm sorry, but I can't let you do this."

"You dare to command me?"

"I do dare. Stop this Albedo. Please!"

"You fool! She's going to get away!" Albedo said as Hiruma continued to read out loud in the background.

"Sh*t I don't wanna go social distancing again!" Connor complained. "The 2020 election years were the worst years in American history due to that!"

"Good thing I'm undead so I don't have to worry about dying from COVID!" Royttytops bragged. "Anyone wanna get bitten so they can become zombies as well, hmmm?"

Jeffy did. "F*ck yeah hoe! Bite me in the a*s!"

Despite her not even being even the ballpark of being an angel, even she was surprised by Hiruma saying this out loud, and choosing to amplify it even more with a megaphone, not even caring about all the looks he was getting from doing this as Mamori just stood by, continuing to record, not too much of a fan of what was transpiring, but not exactly in a position to do much else. If it wasn't for the fact that he had a connection with some of the others on his team, she'd be impressed. She didn't even think it was from a lack of morals. It was that he, for the lack of better words, just didn't give a sh*t.

"This is your final warning. Release my hand at once!" Albedo said to Dawn. "You say you want to help me. Then relinquish your grip."

"No."

"I see. Then you leave me no choice then." Albedo said before preparing to knee her in the stomach until a commotion was heard in the background.

Eliza was already formulating a plan to stop Hiruma. But someone else already beat her to the punch: Heather. She brought the police over and pointed at the quarterback.

"That's the one that's been disturbing the peace sir." Heather said.

"I see. Alright, you're gonna have to come with me." The policeman said before Hiruma, while reciting the lyrics of "Ebola" (Parody of LA Law) by Rucka Rucka Ali, ran away, throwing smoke and flashbang grenades at the crowd before pulling out his phone as Mamori was still behind him recording. He then gave her a couple of signals as the notification sound was heard from her phone.

"Young Thug"

"Gucci Grocery Bag"

"Young Thug"

"Double Fantasy"

"The Weeknd"

"Every sh*tty village in Africa has-"

Grenades were thrown at them with Hiruma falling to the ground to take cover as they exploded, releasing smoke. Though the second he turned around, it was revealed that he was wearing another mask. Though he was starting to feel lightheaded.

He was suddenly picked up by a flying Eliza who immediately covered his mouth, smashed the earpiece that he had and the phone.

Suddenly, back at the park, Sena felt his heart pound harder than it usually does as he made an audible|
"guh"-like gasp.

"Sena, you okay? You look like you just saw a ghost." Lucy asked, concerned after looking up from reading. Which was a sense of irony for him as one of his signature abilities was the "Devil Bat Ghost".

"Don't look at me, he can't see me." Scratch commented.

"I….. don't know." Sena said, a blank look on his face, grabbing his right arm.

"Hey, if you got somethin' on your mind, go ahead. We're chill dude." Zee said.

"I really don't know. My heart just felt like it skipped a beat for some reason."

"Oh? Is the little speedster in love?" Akko said curiously.

"Does that look like the face of someone in love? Because it sure doesn't to me." Bobo said.

"No. It doesn't." Huey F. said, also concerned.

"That's the face of someone that just had a bad feeling." Jotaro said.

"Sena, is that true?" Kurita asked.

"Again, I don't know….." Sena said, looking upward, still holding his right arm.

"Well you guys don't know that! Maybe he could be nervous or something!" Akko said.

"Because you know from experience." Sucy said sarcastically.

"As if I've ever been nervous to talk to a boy I liked."

"Well, I'll give you that, you've never been nervous."

"See?"

"That's just because those opportunities are few and far between."

"Hey!"

"Don't feel bad kid. Rex was the same way. But somehow, he with his ugly mug got someone to date him so there's hope for you two." Bobo said.

"I know you're not talking ugly." Rex said.

"I mean, I can walk around naked in public and women will call me cute. You? Eh….."

"That's because you're a monkey. All you gotta do is be anything other than a bug and girls will probably call you cute."

"Never said that to him before." Yang said.

"Neither have I." Weiss said.

"Guess that confirms it then. You're-" Aomine started before several of them frowned at him or in Yang's case, got him in a wrestling move.

"Anyone else?" Yang said.

Zak, Ben and Rex both made the zip up lips gesture.

Huey though, had drowned out the roughhousing and the exchange that was happening, looking up at the sky with Kurita also being concerned.

As for Deimon's other representative, Monta, who was paired with Rei, it appeared as if he didn't exactly get the same strange feeling. Probably because he was feeling a painful sensation himself, trying to fish out a golden brick in the tank of Lego Blocks on Camp Wawanakwa. Though he was powering through it. But his partner, Rei, was having a lot harder time doing so compared to him.

"I really wish I was transformed. Granted, it still might have hurt but…." Rei remarked, continuing to go through the sea of Legos and still in pain as she grunted. "…. It'd probably be a whole lot better than this." She still heard Monta and his several noises as he tried to continue to search for pieces. "You're doing all of that, how about you do something that helps you work faster and us get out of here sooner?"

"CANNONBAALLLL!" Nimona called out before diving down into the Legos as a whale with Shiro only sighing and shaking his head as the Legos were sent flying everywhere, breaking the tank.

Rei was muffled, trying to talk, unable to move from under her.

"Uh, Nimona." Shiro said, his normal tone still not changing.

"Huh?"

Shiro pointed downward.

"Oh! Whoops!"

She changed back to normal.

"You idiot! Why would you do that?" Rei said to Nimona, the former being in pain after being crushed. "Great. Now what are we supposed to do?"

"Only thing we can do! Get looking!" Monta declared, standing back up.

"Jeez. What a pain. This going to take forever."

What was also taking forever was the video game task on the list. For all parties involved.

Scott and Randy

"Ughhhhhhhh! This is so frustrating dude." Randy groaned as the Mortal Kombat 3 continue theme played in the background with Shao Kahn laughing during it as well. "I hate that even the game is laughing at us."

They've had to retry 10 times.

For the 11th attempt, Scott was next. They would take turns playing after each attempt.

"If there's one thing I learned, if there's a will, there's a way." Scott said before selecting a character, this time choosing Stryker.

"Yeah you say that, and then this game exists. I'm being serious when I say this, I don't think I've ever played a game harder than this. This game makes you feel like a shoob and laughs at you for it. And the worst part is, it's not even you! It's the stupid game!"

"Still though, we got up to the last guy. So we've gotta be doing something right." Scott said as he was playing against Shang Tsung.

"Oh, I really wish I could share your enthusiasm."

Scott's run ended with him getting picked up and thrown by Motaro to his death.

"Motaro Wins!"

Gates from the top and bottom appeared and closed, with the continue screen and said music being played.

"At this rate, we're gonna end up going through the entire roster. And I've already gone through five ninjas already. I'm running out of ninjas here! And quarters! Seriously why didn't Chris give us money or credits or somethin' before asking us to do this?"

"You don't have to use just the ninjas you know."

"I know but, ninjas are cool. How could I not use them?"

"But what about when you run out of ninjas to play?"

"Hopefully, that doesn't happen."

"And what if it does?"

"Let's not think about that."

Five tries later, Randy was slumped over on the arcade machine as Shao Kahn was heard saying "Is that your best?"

"Yes. Unfortunately, it is." Randy said.

"Alright! My turn!" Scott declared before preparing to pick a character.

"Yeah, your turn to get clobbered again. There is absolutely nothing we can do man. Whoever made this game….. I can't even call them shoobiopaths. They're straight up monsters."

"I'm really feeling this one now." Scott said, choosing Sektor.

"Quit lying to yourself man. The only thing you're feeling is despair."

"I'm serious! I really think I got it this time."

"I don't get it. How can you stay this positive? We got our tushes handed to us, taken, then handed back to us again."

"Well, some of it is because I'm learning more characters with each try so that's fun. And also, like I said, we've gotten to the last guy a few times so it's not like it's impossible. And besides, Chris wouldn't put it on the list if we couldn't do it. There isn't a single game I've played, that's been totally impossible. Who'd make a game like that?"

"What about 'the impossible game'?"

"Ohhhh. Fair point."

"I was just making that up. I don't think that actually exists."

"Also fair poin- aww!" Scott said, meeting his demise again via Goro stomping on his corpse several times. "That stomp is always tricky."

"Told ya."

"Not out of characters yet. Or quarters."

"Just keep tellin' yourself that." Randy said before sighing and going to try again.

Though for the other two teams, who were at the same arcade(even though they weren't supposed to be), the reactions to losing were filled with a lot more anger. At least on Becky and Reimu's part.

"WHAT THE HELL IS THIS STUPID GAME!" Reimu and Becky yelled, unable to contain their frustration anymore, both banging on the arcade cabinet.

"Would you pipe down? Jeez." Murasakibara said, annoyed.

"Not when I've had to spend damn near every quarter I have on me on this stupid fu-" Becky started before grabbing the front of her hair. "GOD I HATE THIS DAMN GAME!"

"You know what? You play it and spend your money! You goddamn lazy purple lump! I'm not playing anymore. I QUIT!"

***Confessional***

Becky Farrah(Radical Rats):

"I had to. I'm sorry. If I kept playing it would have only gotten worse. And the thing is, I was already tempted to play again. I'm sorry but video games are just not for me. I'm not saying they have to be some cakewalk, but come on! They had to have intentionally made this hard so they can take people's money. They lose, but they feel like they're close enough to beating it to want to come back and play again so they spend more money. Say what you will about it being scummy but it's a hell of a good business scheme."

***End Confessional***

***Confessional***

Reimu(Storm Kings):

"I can see what Toxsa was talking about when it comes to rage quitting. This game is so frustrating! And the worst part is, for some reason, I want to come back and play more. I don't understand it!"

***End Confessional***

***Confessional***

Louie(Storm Kings):

"Tried reacting to the computer, didn't work. Tried spamming, didn't work. Tried using a strong character, didn't work. I even tried entering cheat codes. Yes, there's cheat codes for this game I looked them up. Quite a few actually. Tried using the secret characters with those cheats but that didn't work either. At this point, I'm honestly at a loss and I wanna call it quits. Props to the company that made this though. What they did is so evil but so good at the same time."

***End Confessional***

Murasakibara, expression not changing, inserted a quarter and selected a 1 player match before being taken to the character select screen. He chose Shang Tsung.

"Fighting fire with fire huh? Already tried that, didn't work. Way too many moves to remember." Louie said.

Both Shang Tsungs were fighting inside of a bank.

"Round 1. Fight!"

The match started with Murasakibara shooting fireballs but was punished immediately by the CPU morphing into Scorpion and hitting him with a combo. But that didn't seem to deter him at all. The second it tried to jump on him, Murasakibara immediately punished him with an uppercut sending him through the ceiling. The battle then took place on the rooftop.

And afterwards, it was a pure beatdown for the rest of the round. Using a mixture of both Shang Tsung's own moves and a few other characters via morphing, Murasakibara was able to win the first round. And following that, the second as well. It wasn't a flawless victory, but he was still able to win with seemingly ease.

And this was seen in the other matches as well against Goro, Kintaro and Motaro, with a fair share of cheap shots from the CPU still getting him a few times.

It was then the moment of truth with Shao Kahn. The two fighters were located on a bridge which was over a pit of spikes. Said pit and bridge being in Shao Kahn's temple.

"Round 1. Fight!"

The Outworld emperor started with a forward shoulder charge, forcing Murasakibara to have to block the attack. Shao Kahn then attempted to hit him over the head with his hammer, which was also blocked before he taunted.

"I rule this world!"

Murasakibara took full advantage of this and punished him with a combo. Shao Kahn, after getting up, fired a green fireball, which Murasakibara also blocked. He then tried to shoulder charge him again, which was another block. Which was followed by another fireball, to which Murasakibara, instead of jumping forwards like what's usually done to try to advance and punish him, instead, he jumped straight upwards. This caused Shao to react with an upward shoulder charge, which was punished by an uppercut.

"Feel the power of Shao Kahn!"

Murasakibara tried to take advantage with a morph combo with Nightwolf but was a little late and was hit on the head with a hammer. Luckily for him, instead of following up with an attack, he laughed instead, taunting him again.

Shao Kahn tried to kick him but that attack was also blocked. He then did another overhead hammer, which was, again, blocked.

"Is that your best?" Shao Kahn taunted.

Murasakibara puished this and followed it up with a jump attack as Smoke to finish the round.

"Shang Tsung, Wins!"

The two fighters were rest back at their starting positions in the middle of the stage.

"Round two. Fight!"

Murasakibara ran forward but immediately cancelled the run, ducked and held block. Shao Kahn attempted to kick him away, which failed. He then attempted an upwards shoulder charged which was punished by an uppercut.

"Bow to me!"

This taunt was immediately punished by a Smoke and Sub Zero combo which included a teleport, a spear and a slide.

"I rule this world!"

Because of the distance, this was punished with a freeze. He immediately changed into Ermac and teleported for a combo and then finished by launching him in the air, finishing with a Sonya air attack.

Not long after, Murasakibara performed the final blows which caused the screen flash a bit before Shao Kahn's death animation was shown, him being filled with green energy across several of the game's stages before eventually exploding.

"Shang Tsung, Wins!"

"Wait, you won!?" Louie said in disbelief with the other two being completely speechless.

"How did you remember all of those moves?" Reimu asked.

"Guess that's his specialty. Great at games. Or good memory." Becky guessed.

"Nope to both. Don't really play games. You just gotta be reactionary. All that pressing buttons crap you guys were doing wasn't gonna get you anywhere. Figured that out after the last time Louie went."

"Wait a second, if you knew that why the hell didn't you tell me that before I went again!?" Becky asked, upset that she spent and lost a quarter because of that.

"And hear you yelling at me? Hell no. Was gonna let you figure it out on your own. Which clearly, you didn't. As for the moves, all I did was just watch you guys play. Then I kinda guessed some of the rest." He said before stretching a bit. "Alright, guess we gotta do it again." Murasakibara said.

"You mean you're doing it again." Louie said.

"I guess." He said nonchalantly before a commotion was heard outside. Reimu was the one to go outside. The noise was coming from the battle between Albedo, who was Ultimate Gravattack and Eliza. Though it wasn't much of a battle as Albedo had her in his grasp. Well, gravitational grasp anyway, sending her into buildings as if she was the wrecking ball and he was the crane.

Mamori had Hiruma in her arms as they were moving away from the battle.

"F[censored]ing manager… What did I tell you to do earlier?" Hiruma asked, right arm seemingly limp. Though Mamori remained silent.

"Since you finally decided to listen to me now, get to reading." Hiruma said, attempting to hold the camera with his left hand. Though Mamori took it from him only for him to try to kick her.

"I'm still going to do it. But we need to be in a safer area. Remember, his transformations don't last forever." Mamori said.

"Of course. How could I forget that." Hiruma said, lowering his eyebrows and having a deadpan tone in his voice as he blew a bubble with his gum.

Meanwhile, Zero and, now WordGirl, were on their third task completed. After bringing back an animal from Boney Island and easily staying in with a gorilla, they did the golf ball task next.

"This is a lot easier than I thought it would be. Probably because some of these, we've been hit by worse." WordGirl said as neither were affected by the other's hits on them(even if WordGirl was holding back in her punch).

"I guess. Let's get to the next one." Zero said.

"We did these pretty quick, so we've actually just got one left on our end. Making a wooden table set."

"Right. Lead the way."

Another group that was getting through tasks rather well was Karin and Jenny, even though it wasn't at the speed of those two.

Karin was walking across a tightrope, which she seemed to have an easier time with compared to Jenny, who tried it before.

"Easy. All you need to do is take your time." Karin said.

"Easy for you to say when you just did it on your first try." Jenny said.

"Considering you're a robot, you'd think something as simple as this would be easy for you."

"Let's not turn this into a bragging rights thing. Next thing on the list. To Boney Island!" Jenny declared, pointing upwards before carrying Karin back to Chris and the others so they can be taken to said location.

Octavia and Blake, meanwhile, had just eaten an onion and were now headed back to Chris and the others. Both had already agreed that they were not about to kiss each other.

"Okay, I can easily say that this is the worst challenge out of all of them so far." Blake said.

"Yes. Most of the others were annoying at most. But still something that made sense, even if I'm not a fan of all of them. This is just straight up disgusting and unnecessarily cruel." Octavia said.

"I think that's the point?" Blake said.

"I know. But that still doesn't make it any better."

"Just be glad that it's nowhere close to what some of the other challenges were like in other seasons. Like the last season that Zee, Priya and Julia were on."

"How bad?"

"Farting. Lots of it. That's all I need to tell you."

"That is f[censored]ing disgusting… what the f[censored]?"

"Exactly. I honestly regret watching that episode."

"Funny. I never took you to be the type of person to go out of your way to watch reality TV."

"Honestly, I'm not. Decided to watch a season out of curiosity of what things were like since we weren't here. And that might be the last time I do that."

"I don't blame you….. You know what? I take back some of what I said. This challenge is still disgusting and unnecessarily cruel, in some parts. But at least some of it's reasonable. And not… that. Hell, I'll take singing over this."

"Careful what you wish for."

"I'll take my chances."

The tasks that Maki and Huey had to do weren't as painful or as disgusting as those two's however.

The two were already in the middle of making the table set.

Maki tapped one of the finished chairs to make sure it was sturdy.

"All right, looks good."

"Great! Now all that's left is the table, ironically enough." Huey said.

"We should have more than enough wood to finish."

"That we should. Still though, even though this helps the team, doing this kinda makes me sad."

"Why? What's up?"

"All this perfectly good wood is probably going to go to waste when this challenge is done." He said as he was planning out the shape and size of the table.

"Huh. Now that you say that….."

"I mean, they're still fun, but now I feel how Owen felt during that race with all the food being fired. This is really wasteful."

"True but, nothing we can really do about it now. And besides, even if we told Chris about this, he's not exactly the type of person that would care."

"That is true. Sorry, let's get focused."

"All good. Doesn't bother me one bit. Speak what's on your mind."

"Well, what do you think about this season? You've been pretty neutral when it comes to how you feel about things around here compared to most of the other people on the team who are either quiet like Jotaro and Akashi, thinkers like Isagi, myself, not to toot my own horn, and Bren, or the guys that like to have fun like Ben, Rex and Yang. Guess Aomine is somewhere in between the first and third ones.

"Eh….." Maki said before taking a breath and thinking. "Damn, when I said for you to speak what's on your mind I didn't expect you to say something like that."

"Sorry. Just curious. I think all of you guys are pretty interesting."

"Oh you're good. It's just….. hmm…. well, if you want my honest answer, I'd say it's okay. Like you said, I'm pretty neutral at the moment. Nothing I can say I absolutely hated like some of the others around here. But nothing I can say blew my mind either. Injuries are probably the worst aspect about this season for me. Other than Haizak at the beginning. That was kinda annoying for a bit. Moreso the weird looks he was giving at me and some of the others. But what happened to Cameron and Shawn. Just an unfortunate way to go out. But like I said, it could be worse. You could have people getting murdered." She said before cutting some wood with the sword she was carrying with her.

"Not even some of the crazy stuff that's happened with some of the others' abilities? Like Shiro?"

"Nope. Not really. They're interesting, but like I said, it's nothing that absolutely floored me. Shiro is probably the most extreme example though. An eye opener, but after what Chris did, not too surprising."

"Guess it's nothing you've never seen before as a sorcerer huh?"

"Nah. It's not that….. I don't know. Gonna hit you with what Echizen said at the beginning of the season. Guess I just don't have much to say."

"Okay. That's fair. And what about you? You say you're a sorcerer, but I've only ever seen you with those weapons and never did any magic. Guess it's just because you haven't had to now that I think about it, even against strong guys like Bass."

"I see where you're coming from, and I've gotta correct you a bit. Yes, Sophie's reliant on her magic to fight, but she's still a pretty good fighter even without it. How do I know? I've sparred with her during free time. Before the mansion was destroyed that is. And to answer your question, the reason I have all these weapons is because I can't do magic."

"Wait, you can't? Then how are you a sorcerer then? The very definition of the word sorcerer is a person who claims or is believed to have magic powers. No offense."

"None taken. Been hearin' things like this all my life, and in most cases, it was with actual animosity. As for your definition, well, call me an exception to that then. In the case of where I come from, we do things a little differently. We don't wave wands or have glyphs, grimoires, or anything like that. Hell, the guys here, no matter how different it is, it all circles back to them calling it magic. Us? We don't call it that. We call it jujutsu. But it pretty much functions the same way. And that jujutsu is channeled and used via cursed energy. Most people have it believe it or not. And that's because it's based on negative emotions. You know, your usual stuff. Sadness, anger, etcetera. But if you've got a higher than normal amounts, you can see cursed spirits. Those spirits are a makeup of that energy."

"So I guess that means I've got cursed energy too huh? And especially some of the guys on the Rats. And Kageyama and Eijun."

"Yeah. Never thought about that but absolutely. Although, in your case, you don't have it because you're not from our world. Though with everyone like you mentioned before, it's a good thing they're not there either. Or it'd be even more hell to fight when it comes to dealing with those spirits."

"Deal with them? What do you mean?" Huey asked as they were preparing to do the legs next.

"Those spirits haunt and bring harm to people kid. They're not just some harmless ghosts that float around like Casper. That's why it's the job of jujutsu sorcerers to exorcise them and keep people safe."

"So, how can you see them?"

"With exactly what I'm wearing right now. These aren't your normal glasses. These, like all the weapons I have, are actually cursed tools, objects imbued with cursed energy. With these weapons, even non-sorcerers have a chance at combating cursed spirits. The difference is, depending on the grade, which is the determined strength of the spirit or sorcerer, just having them on hand might not be enough. You need to actually know what you're doing. And in the case of my glasses, as long as I'm wearing these, I can see the curses."

"So you have to fight fire with fire. Used cursed energy to get rid of the spirits."

"Correct. No cursed energy, no chance."

"So I guess you decided to be a sorcerer to help people even without having it. I know it doesn't seem genuine since there are a decent amount of people that do this, but that's a real nice thing to do. And I can relate. In my case, while I'm not as good of a fighter as say Dewey or Webby, but what I do have is my brain. That's my superpower."

"Actually, that's not the case for me." Maki said as they were finishing things up with the set. "The reason why I became a sorcerer was to spite my family."

"Oh. Now I kinda feel bad for asking you all this."

"Like I said, you're good. You don't gotta worry about me. They've looked down on me for years for not being able to perform cursed techniques. In my case, my cursed energy is severely lower than even normal people's amounts. How poetic would it be for me to become a big time sorcerer? Trust me, I want to help people. But if I said that that was the only reason, that would be a bold-faced lie. But enough rambling on about me. I want you to tell me a bit about yourself. If you've been to Atlantis, then you've got to have an interesting life."

"One more question, I promise."

"Alright, I'll budge. But one more. That's it." Maki said as they were checking to make sure the legs on the table were stable.

"How come you decided to sign up here? With what you guys have to deal with, is this really good enough training? Again, no offense."

"Good grief kid." Maki said before pausing after realizing what she said. "Now I'm starting to sound like Jotaro or Charlie Brown. You gonna apologize for every little question you ask me? At this point, just don't ask 'em then."

"Sorry!" Huey said before realizing he apologized again. "Uh….."

She could only shake her head. "You know what? Don't worry about it. I know you don't mean anything by it. But to answer your questions, even though I said one more, with what I've seen, it absolutely is good enough training. More than I could have even imagined. The finale of the last season that was like this was what motivated me more than anything else to throw my hat in the ring for a spot. Didn't have much of an opinion on who won as I wasn't really paying too much attention to that. It was more of the combat that I was interested in. As for the money….. I don't know. I'll figure something out. That honestly wasn't the reason why I even came here in the first place. Now let's take this stuff back."

"Right behind ya."

Maki took most of the workload, carrying the table and a chair while Huey carried the other.

Though they seemed to have been one of the groups that was oblivious to the damage that was taking place in one part of town between Reimu, Albedo, Eliza, and now WordGirl, Zero and Rook joining in on the fight after the former two saw the battle overhead and the latter was told by Heather, who had ran into him, what was going on, but was originally running to avoid being collateral damage and Dawn being knocked unconscious after attempting to protect Albedo from the two after he had timed out.

Zero had already alerted Cicini, Rei, Becky(he didn't know she was not too far where he was) and Sendo of what was happening, with Rei on her way to help. Though she had her hands full with Nimona after she chose to fight Monta and Rei to get the golden bricks first.

Outside of Louie, who was told to run and get to safety, Reimu's other alliance members in the inter-team alliance stayed inside of the arcade to avoid being discovered.

"I've beaten you before. Even if it was a clone. I can beat you again." Reimu said confidently to Zero, attacking him, though Zero blocked all said attempts with his sword. He attempted to attack back, but she was admittedly quicker than he expected.

"Is that so? Unfortunately for you, no soulless copy compares to the original. I've already proven that several times." Zero countered. "And you're about to find out why!"

Kagami and several others, back at the park, were concerned. "Cicini, what's goin' on? Is everybody okay?"

"Albedo, Eliza and Reimu are fighting. Zero, WordGirl and Rook have intervened." Cicini told them. "Looks like Rei's on her way to help too."

"Actually, looks can be deceiving. I'm a bit busy." Rei said in Cicini's ear.

"Rei, are you okay!? What's happening!?" Kagami asked suddenly getting in Cicini's ear to ask(in his case yell) this.

"Dude, calm down, she's right there." Aomine said.

"SHUT UP!" Kagami yelled, turning back.

"WHAT WAS THAT!?"

"YOU HEARD ME! I SAID SHUT YOUR MOUTH!"

"Both of you stop yelling I can hear you all in my ear!" Rei replied, drawing back flame arrows to fire at Nimona, Shiro and Wolver but missed all of them. "Jeez, messed up my shots."

She dodged Nimona who had changed into a bull to try and ram her.

"Oh. My bad." Kagami apologized, grabbing the back of his neck, now feeling bad.

Rei sighed. "It's fine. And so am I and Monta. Looks like Nimona isn't exactly going to just let us get the bricks in a race to search. It's a fight for them now."

"What about Shiro?" Bennett asked.

"Looks like he's fine with it too, against his better judgement it seems, but regardless, he's still-" Rei started before yelling.

"The heck is going on over there?" Axl asked.

Before anyone else asked, Cicini decided to have Rei come through her computer speakers instead.

Monta, Rei and Shiro were heard yelling because of the fact that Monta tried to cover her eyes to stop her after jumping on top of her. Which worked, but now things were utter chaos as bricks were firing every which way.

"This is when more forms of communication on our end between each other would be helpful." Sly said, not even trying to hide the fact that he was talking about Bren.

"I still need time to make sure everything works before I hand them out to everyone."

"Hopefully that'll be sooner rather than later."

She then changed into Monta.

Everyone got up with Shiro and Rei unsure of what to do.

"That's the fake!" Both Montas pointed at the other.

"MAX attack her!" The Monta on the left said pointing to the other.

"No! Attack her!" The other Monta said, jumping and insisting that the other was the fake.

Shiro looked at both closely.

"No good. They're exactly the same." Shiro commented.

"I know how to solve this." Rei said before going to them. She was about to kiss one of them on the cheek before Shiro, making an up gesture with his eyes, decided to freeze all of them.

The one on the left changed and flew upwards. Though Rei resisted the sub-zero temperatures by sending a stream of fire back.

"There's no way you honestly thought I was just going to let you do that."

"If you did, then I would have been disappointed." Shiro said.

"Then why-" She was suddenly crushed by Nimona, who was a panda. Though this victory was short lived as she was sent flying off because of the stream of fire sent from under her. Touching the ice, her left hand heated up to thaw out the frozen Monta.

"AAAAAAAH!" Monta finished yelling before blinking in confusion.

"Watch out!" Rei suddenly pushed him out of the way of the stream of fire coming from Nimona, burning several bricks and the cabins.

"Nimona, you're burning the bricks!"

"Crud! Sorry! Sorry!" Nimona apologized before flying back downwards and then transforming into a tiger to pounce on Rei.

"Guys, I don't think I'm going to be out of this any time soon." Rei informed Cicini, Zero and the others.

"That's fine. What we've got should be more than enough." Zero said, continuing to battle Reimu.

"I don't even get it. What even started all of this?" WordGirl said to Eliza as the two fought.

"Hiruma. He was the aggressor in this. Yes, I may have admittedly interfered, but he tazed me in the eye!" Eliza said, right eye still in pain, her vision slightly disoriented.

"Liar!" Albedo called out, transformed again, now as Ultimate Cannonbolt, hitting Eliza. "She was the one that attacked Hiruma. There wasn't just some normal interference. She grabbed him as she was flying. Both she and Heather colluded to interfere."

"Colluded? I did no such thing!" Eliza shouted, preparing to fly back to attack again before WordGirl tried to get in the way of both of them.

"As much as I want to give you the benefit of the doubt, Hiruma has seemingly kept his word. So until we hear his side of things I'm not siding with anyone. But if there's one thing for sure, this has to stop! People could get-"

Ding Ding

"Not now!" WordGirl said, putting her hands on her face.

"I love singing but this is really not the time." Rei remarked, transform

"Oh this is gonna be fun." Nimona said as she and Monta were still scrambling to find golden bricks as Shiro only sighed as he continued to look himself.

The other participants heard this as well which caused Mayuzumi, who was quietly completing tasks on his own and was currently reading through Ultimate Islands out loud, scowled, annoyed.

Blake and Octavia both looked at each other.

"Well, you asked for it." Blake said.

"Like I said, I'd rather sing than do that any day." Octavia replied.

"Yes! I did it!" Scott cheered, though the victory music from the game was drowned out by the incoming musical. Hailey and Julie ran to the arcade.

"Oh hey! Hailey! Julie! Check it out! I beat it!"

"Oh thank goodness. When you weren't answering my texts I got worried." Hailey said.

"Oh. Sorry about that. I was 'in the zone' as Toxsa would say."

"Guess that 'zone' meant the game took a while huh?" Julie guessed.

"Guys, hello, musical?" Hailey reminded.

"Oh yeah! Wonder what's taking so long?" Scott said.

"Or what this is about, since we're here."

"Maybe it's something related to you?" Julie reasoned.

"Me? Nah. That would imply that I'm the lead….. singer?"

"Well, what are you waiting for? You've got a great voice! Try it out! And if it makes you feel more comfortable, I'll start off, ok? Now what's next on the list?" Scott encouraged.

"Stop it! But… if you insist. Although, some of the things on this list look pretty familiar…. Regardless though, let's get this list done guys!" Hailey said, flattered by Scott's compliment.

"Why do I feel like there's a montage coming?" Huey remarked.

"What was that kid?" Maki asked, not hearing him as they had just brought back the table set a few seconds ago.

*Montage begins as The Future's in My Hands/Hailey's On It theme by Aul' Cravalho(Hailey's On It!) plays*(A/N: This version is slightly changed from the original to fit the context of this challenge)

Scott*In rhythm of Hailey crossing off items on a list*: Hey, hey, Hailey's on it!

Hailey: Teach a cat to play the piano

Jenny: Roller skate all the way to Orlando

Karin(In disbelief): Use my ear wax to make a candle?

Hanamiya reunited with Molly.

"Sorry for the holdup." Hanamiya said.

Molly(Seemingly ignoring Hanamiya's apology): Molly's on it!

Eijun(dazed): Mouth open, get sprayed by a skunk

Julie: Do a corn maze,

Hailey: Hope we don't get lost

Sendo: Eat an onion

Sendo, Rei, Kagami, Ryoma, Karin, Aomine and Yang, all in disbelief: Kiss a teammate!?

*Song pause*

"Oh hell no. You better look somewhere else 'cause I'm not doin' it." Aomine said.

"Absolutely not." Weiss said, folding her arms.

*Montage Resumes*

Julie: Julie's on it!

Julie: Play a match of tennis with Julie!

Penny*Punching Rigby him into a tree*: Learn to play punchies with Rigby

Rigby: I think Penny's trying to kill me

Penny: Penny's on it!

Sendo: Stand in Wasps and Bees for a minute

Nimona: Go in a tank and find a gold brick

Rei: Too bad I won't fall for your tricks

Monta, finding a brick, starts to run.

Nimona: Hey!

Shiro: Hey!

Monta: Monta's on it!

Zero(Ironically still fighting): Play pickle ball, with real pickles

Hiruma: Use bubble gum to make a castle

Eliza: I think it's time to end this battle

"I've been saying this since the beginning and now you guys listen to me!?" WordGirl said.

"I share your sentiments." Reimu said before suddenly attacking both Rook and Eliza, knocking out the former from the surprise attack and sending Eliza flying.

Reimu: Reimu's on it!

*End Song*

Reimu was then slammed into a wall multiple times before it was revealed to have been Albedo as Ghostfreak.

"Huh. That was actually pretty short." WordGirl commented.

"What are you doing!? Go now! And take Dawn with you!" He said to both Zero and WordGirl after returning to normal so he can start to choose another form.

"Aren't you going to come with us?" WordGirl asked.

"No. I will provide you with additional time. Now finish the tasks!" While Zero dashed, WordGirl, carrying Dawn, flew off to do just as Albedo instructed.

An angered Eliza flew back.

"Facing me alone? That will be a mistake." Eliza said.

"The only person that made a mistake….." Albedo said before transforming into Ultimate Humungosaur. "…. Is you for crossing me!" He said before shooting missiles at her.

Though unknowingly, Reimu was also there with her. And was also just as unhappy.

Dodging all of the missiles, the two advanced, but were unable to fully close the gap before he quickly changed his hands back and clapped them together, sending a shockwave and knocking both of them back. But even with this, both of them advanced again.

Though Reimu quickly teleported behind him, something that he anticipated and knocked her away with his tail into a car parked on the sidewalk and sent Eliza back with another clap.

"Fools. Did you really think I stayed just to stall you? I'm going to crush you!"

Missiles were shot at him, forcing him to have to shield himself. They were from a now conscious Rook and his Proto-Tool.

"Unfortunately for you, that will not be today!" Rook declared.

"Even with your Proto-Tool, you have no chance!" Albedo declared, sending missiles back.

"As long as I am still able to move, there is always a chance!" Rook dodged the missiles and fired his own back.

"Yo! Rook! Just checking in on ya buddy! Not to rush you or anything but…. we're running low on time here." Ben said, communicating via the Omnitrix.

"Unfortunately, Albedo is proving to be a tough adversary to handle. He is using himself as a diversion for his teammates to complete tasks without being impeded upon."

"Wait, Albedo actually doing something for his team? This is Albedo were talking about here. Are you sure you're talking about the right guy?"

"Yes. As hard as it may be to believe due to his track record, this has been confirmed by Albedo himself. Also, Zero and-" He was hit by an explosion from one of the cars Albedo threw.

"Rook!"

Albedo went to pick up Rook by his arm.

"I know you can hear me Tennyson. Fortunately for you, your teammate will be brought back to you. Unfortunately for you, I'll make sure he and the others know what it means when you try to cross me! And soon, this game will be our-" Albedo was suddenly yelling in pain from being wrapped up by an electric rope from Rook's Proto-Tool. Attempting to fight through it, he grabs Rook and strengthens his grip, causing Rook to grunt in pain.

A motorcycle and a scooter were thrown at him, causing him to slam the ground with his tail in an attempt to stop whoever threw them. The source being Eliza, who began to attack him directly, which distracted him enough to allow Rook to take a page out of Hiruma's book and aim for his eyes with the taser, forcing him to have to cover his eyes as he was reeling. Combining their attacks, both Eliza and Rook were able to defeat him and knock him unconscious, Rook landing the final blow by electrocuting him again as he transformed back to normal.

"It is finally over. Excellent work. You have my gratitude for assisting me." Rook said to Eliza.

"Of course!" Eliza replied.

"Ben, Albedo has been defeated." Rook informed him.

"That's great and all but the challenge still isn't over." Ben said.

"Right. I suppose one of us should bring Albedo back. He is unconscious." Rook said.

"I can do it. Since you have the list, it would only make sense." Eliza said.

"Albedo can bring himself back. You guys just hurry!" Ben said.

"Affirmative. Let us get moving Eliza. We have an estimate of 45 minutes remaining." Rook said.

***Confessional***

Eliza(Storm Kings):

"He should be fortunate. If it wasn't for that, I would have made sure he was out of the game. Permanently." Eliza said, a dark tone in her voice.

***End confessional***

As the scramble to complete the items on the list continued, there was still some indecisiveness on one item on the list: Eat an onion and kiss a teammate(in the mouth).

"Hey Sendo, you can-" May started.

"For you to be enthusiastic about it? Not happenin'." Sendo said.

"At least I actually volunteered."

"Don't look at me." Rally said.

"You wusses. Blake, just kiss me." Yang said.

"What? I'm not doing that." Blake said.

"Either that, or give me an onion. You're choice." Yang said.

"Honestly, I don't see the big deal. It's not like you're gonna be married to them just for kissing them. You don't have to like it or anything like that. It's just for the challenge." Bakura said.

"Oh is that so huh? Then you do it!" Dan declared.

"Now h-hold on a second!"

"You're pushing him into doing it, why don't you do it?" Kaz asked.

"Because I am a 26-year-old man kissing a….. how old is Ryoma? Anyone know?" Dan asked.

"19." Heloise informed after looking said info up on her tablet.

"19-year-old samurai! I don't care if he actually is an adult! I'm not doing it regardless!"

"Hey, I'll take one for the team." Johnny said.

"Like Sendo said to May, for you to be enthusiastic about it? Absolutely not. And besides, I didn't even eat an onion. I was just in disbelief. As if I'd ever let any of you kiss me without it being deserved." Karin said.

"Too bad no one here wants to earn it." Miyuki remarked.

"I suggest you mind your tongue. Otherwise, your smart mouth will get you hurt."

"Yeah you guys have been saying that crap for a while now and no one's backed up that talk." Aomine said.

"What about Johnny?" Kaz asked, regarding Karin.

"Way to be late on that." Tsukshima said.

"Johnny doesn't count." Rally said.

"But I am countin' one, two, three beautiful girls standin' before me." Johnny said, referring to Blaineley, Rally and Karin.

"Thanks, but still, no." Rally said.

"If it only has to be for a brief second, that shouldn't be too hard, right?" Natsu reasoned.

"Well now I'm changing it. 3 seconds minimum requirement." Chris said.

Several people looked at him. "3 seconds isn't that hard. Besides, May and Bakura have got a point. You don't have to like it."

Good Launch suddenly pulled in Ryoma for a kiss, surprising several people including Ryoma himself, who admittedly was red the entire time before she let him go.

"I'm sorry for being so sudden like that. But no one else was volunteering." Good Launch said.

"It's completely fine." Ryoma said, cheeks still slightly red from the sudden kiss.

Suddenly, Ben, as XLR8, returned with an onion.

"Got your onion." Ben said to Yang, turning back to normal.

"Thanks." Yang said, eating the onion and right afterwards, pulling Ben in for a kiss.

"What the heck was that!?" Ben said, red afterwards.

"Considering how everyone else was acting, it's not like I had other options." Yang said. "Or in some cases, options that would turn out to be weird."

"Rex? Bren? Blake? Akashi? Need I say more?"

"No way I'm locking lips with that breath. P.U. She's all yours dude." Rex said.

Ben could only roll his eyes. "Whatever."

"I didn't steal your first kiss did I?" Yang asked.

"Thankfully, no."

"Hold it! It's gotta be someone participating. So that doesn't count." Chef said.

"What? Why didn't you guys say this earlier!?" Ben and Yang said.

"Your fault for not following the instructions."

"I'd like to-" Mayuzumi said, suddenly returning before being kissed by Blake suddenly.

"What the hell is wrong with you!?" He said, pushing her off, cheeks slightly red, showing off the most emotion he's had since being on the show.

"Challenge. Remember?"

"At least warn me!"

"Sorry. You probably would have said no."

Mayuzumi could only shake his head and sigh. "It's fine. As long as it was for the challenge I can understand. As I was saying, I'd like to present what I have for Ultimate Islands among the other things I've finished. That Chris is... oddly different compared to this one in some ways interesting enough."

"Sendo, I suspect you have a plan? Unless someone else is willing to do it?" Lanolin asked him.

"Actually, I do." Sendo said. He walked over to Cicini before talking into her ear. "Hey Becky! And I mean the older one. I don't know where you are, but get your a[censored] over her- mmh?" Sendo's head was suddenly turned by Rally as she kissed him.

"Already got it covered. Take your time Becky." Rally said.

"Okay then." Becky responded, unsure of what else to say as she had no idea what was going on.

"I got the right mind to knock your a[censored] out for that."

"Look, I didn't exactly enjoy that either." Rally said.

"I'm not saying that because you did it. I'm sayin' it because you did it so late. But I do respect ya for steppin' up."

"It was either that or sit here all day and potentially lose."

"Or maybe she was trying to save her first kiss." May teased with Rally only rolling her eyes in response.

***Confessional***

Rally(Radical Radical):

"Okay….. she's not… wrong. But at the same time, losing over something as dumb as a first kiss? I may have not taken the blame and been eliminated, but that sets a bad precedent as a leader. And it would have indirectly been my fault. Yes, I have limits, but this isn't even close to being past those limits, even if I hated doing it."

***End Confessional***

Hailey, Scott, Randy and Julie brought back a table set that they made.

"Wow. These dimensions are great! How did you make this?" Huey D. said, looking at the table.

"Planned it out, and then, we got some tools from my house and got to work." Hailey said, proud of her handiwork.

Zero, WordGirl and Dawn also brought back their own table back with Becky and Murasakibara also returning.

"it's not the best, but it's sturdy enough." Zero remarked.

"As long as it stands up and even resembles a table and chairs, you're good." Chris said.

Courtney was the next to return and bring her own evidence of tasks she completed with Mamori also returning with Sendo and Rocky.

Heather, Jenny, Rook and Eliza also eventually returned with their evidence as well along with Eijun and Ryoma.

"Well, look's like that's everyone." Scott said.

"Actually, it's not. Monta, Rei, Nimona, Shiro and Albedo still aren't back yet." Kurt said.

"They better hurry back. We've got about less than five minutes left." Becky said.

"Alright then, looks like the Kin-" Chris started to announce before Doyle interrupted him.

"Incoming!" Doyle warned as a portal opened. It was from Shiro, Rei, Monta and Nimona.

They were all fighting for a brick and smashed through the tables, the castles and the candles made by the teams and were now in the beach area of the docks that the teams were on.

"No way you're getting that brick!" Nimona said as they continued to dive, run and fight for it.

"Back off!" Rei shot back.

"MAX HUSTLE!" Monta shouted.

But it was Wolver that came away with it and was headed back to Chris and the others. Rei tried to stop it with rings that would ignite into flames but Wolver, using its lightning dash, evaded them before she was tackled by Nimona.

Monta was desperately trying to catch up.

Hiruma, who was sitting with his left hand, pulled out a pistol, aimed it, and shot it at Wolver, which knocked the brick off it.

"Hiruma! I thought we agreed on no weapons in a public area?" Rally scolded.

"Calm down, gun freak. It's a prop." Hiruma said as both Wolver, Shiro and Monta were in hot pursuit of the brick.

"Shiro! Use your boost!" Kaz called out.

"I can't! I didn't use a scan… unless….. Wolver! Final Booster!" The car turned its spoiler around and revealed a thruster on the back of it as yellow energy came from it, giving it a large boost of speed.

"At this rate…. Monta can't make it." Kurita said.

While everyone else was watching, it was Eijun and Sendo that acted first, running to get the brick to dive for it. Zero sent buster shots to knock Wolver away but Jenny attacked him. WordGirl thought she had it before Ryoma stopped her. And it was then that everyone else participated in the scrambled for one simple little brick which they all acted as if it was the key to El Dorado.

Ryoma knocked all of them off as he transformed.

"POWER CHANGE!"

"Got it!" Ryoma said before being kicked away by Becky F. before she caught it.

Nimona, refusing to give up herself, changed into a whale to crush all of them as the brick was airborne.

"Murasakbara, catch it!" Becky shouted.

"Huh?" He said, confused before Nimona was airborne, getting the brick.

"Yes! I got it! Let's go!" Nimona exclaimed, flying towards Chris. Though this would be short lived as Monta, who jumped on top of Murasakibara, anticipated her flight and jumped again.

"TACKLE…. MAAAAAX!" Monta shouted, which caught Nimona off guard. Though she flew out of the way at the last second to avoid him tackling her. But Hiruma only grinned. Monta was holding on to her wings.

"Let go!"

Monta, refusing to quit, continued to hold on. This distraction was good enough for Hiruma to shoot the brick out of her hand as he also got up and ran after it.

"Hiruma!" Mamori called out.

"This is over!" Zero called out, about to perform the Dark Hold to stop time before Jenny flew into him.

Hiruma, Eijun, who was yelling as he did so, and Karin, were all trying to run after it.

Nimona knew she had no choice, breathing fire, she burned the brick to ash as everyone looked in shock.

"Nimona, what did you do!?" Karin asked in disbelief.

"Easy. Both teams needed that because there was no other golden brick left. So I burned it. Now it's sudden death." Nimona said.

"Actually, no." Chris said.

"Wait, what? How? I literally just explained why!"

"It would have been sudden death. But you forgot one little thing." Chris said, pointing at an item on the copy of their team's book that he had which was 19: Keep your eyes open for 10 minutes.

Shiro's eyes widened. He had completely forgotten about that item.

Nimona held her hands on her head in disbelief, not knowing what to say.

"Wait, didn't you say you were going to take care of 19?" Hanamiya brought up.

"I should have reminded her. I take responsibility." Shiro said, eyes closed.

"No. I said I was going to do it. And I just forgot. I'm sorry." Nimona said.

"Well, I think we know who we're getting rid of tonight." Dan said.

"Dan!" Reagan said through her teeth.

"What? It's clearly her fault."

"Even if it is, you don't have to say it like that. That'll just make her feel worse!"

"So what? If she didn't want this to happen she should have gotten it done earlier like the others did." Bass said.

"Alright, she's taken responsibility. That should be enough." Mr. Wolf said.

"Well, now that that's over with, you guys have got a date with an elimination ceremony tonight!" Chris said.

Albedo, as Fasttrack, returned.

"And now to bask in-"

"Second place. Bask in second place. You didn't win." Heloise said.

"What? NO! IMPOSSIBLE! HOW COULD WE LOSE!?"

"We'll be right back after these messages!" Chris announced.

"Chris, I demand an-" Albedo was cut off by the camera cutting to black.

*Commercial Break*

Total Drama Short: What's The Catch(phrase)?

In between the period after the first challenge back, the teams decided to gather for a video call, all choosing a time that worked for them(for the most part anyway, some were still busy or couldn't make it due to lack of technology to do such a thing).

"Hey everyone! Thank you all for coming! And thank you to Molly and Ruby for bringing the other teams here too." Akko said.

"No problem! It seemed like a fun idea so why not?" Ruby said.

"Of course!" Molly replied to Akko.

"So I brought all of you guys here to see what everyone's catchphrase is. This was rattling around in my head for a while after hearing Echizen in that mayhem challenge say "You've still got a ways to go" and the fact that he says it over and over again. Then I realized Jotaro does the same thing. And sometimes, so do I. So I thought of this little fun thing to do to see who has a catchphrase and who doesn't." Akko said.

"So I'll go first. Then we'll go from there down the line. My catchphrase is, 'Believing is my magic!' What about you Lotte? Do you have a catchphrase?"

"Sorry, can't say that I ever have. But I'm curious to see what the others are." Lotte said before closing her eyes and smiling.

"Don't even bother asking." Sucy said.

"I do not." Diana said.

"Okay then. Albedo?" Akko said.

"No. I do not have one. Nor am I interested in obtaining one. They are meaningless."

"Meaningless? They're fun!"

"As I said, meaningless."

"Hiruma?"

"Ya-ha."

"Huh. I think he was being serious."

"What gave it away, the fact that he answered it, or the fact that he says it a lot?" Tsukishima commented.

"You know, I can see why you and Sucy get along." Akko said, puffing up her cheeks at the comment.

"If only he loved mushrooms." Sucy commented.

"Anyways, Mamori?"

"Sorry, don't really have one." Mamori said.

"The same way she lacks drawing skills." Hiruma commented which caused Mamori to make a similar face Akko made earlier which only caused Hiruma to laugh.

"Monta?"

"Hmm….. max thinking. Max thinking."

"You say max a lot. Maybe that's it right there."

"Ohhhhhhh."

"Sena?"

"Can't say I have one either." Sena said, laughing a little.

"Kurita?"

Kurita blows smoke out of his nose. "FUNURABA!"

"Murasakibara?"

"Nope." He said, continuing to eat donuts on the call.

"Kagami?"

"Nah." Kagami said, wearing an apron.

"Kagami are you cooking while on this call?"

"Yeah. But I didn't wanna miss out on the call and be behind on what's happenin'."

"What are you making?" Rei asked.

"Breakfast. I know it's kinda weird since it's like 4 somethin' here but, I kinda had a taste."

"I don't think you're the only person that's like that. Except….. I can't cook." Rei slumped over.

"Don't worry about it. I promised you I wouldn't forget, and I haven't. I got ya. As a matter of fact, I'll send you a video of me cooking since I'm in America right now to get ya started. Step by step. How's that?"

"That'd be great. Thank you."

"You two gonna virtually kiss now? Jeez." Aomine remarked.

"It's called being nice dumba*s."

"Tch, Mine-chin wishes he could cook like that." Murasakibara said.

"You shut your mouth lumpy. I may not be able to cook 'cuisines, fine dining' or any of that other fancy crap Kagami cooks, but it's good enough. And I know what being nice is. I'm just not about to be extra like you are Kagami. Like what the hell is that?" Aomine said.

"How is that bein' extra? And for the record, my cooking ain't exactly the best either. You want that? Go to Sebastian. Is he even on this call?" Kagami asked.

"Nope." Sly said.

"Well let me fill in for him." Kagami cleared his throat. "I'm simply one hell of a butler." He said, trying to mimic Sebastian's voice, which was an awful impression.

Rei and several others had to stifle their laughter.

"What? WHAT!? COME ON IT WASN'T THAT BAD!"

"Please leave the theatrical stuff to me okay?" Rei said, after laughing a little more.

"I'm going back to cooking!" Kagami said before turning off his cam.

"Kagami come on I was just joking!" Rei could only put her hands in her face, in regret at what she did, upset at herself.

"Way to go Rei." Zak M. said.

"Shut up and get off this call you little brat!"

"Should we continue this or….." Akko asked.

"Yeah, I'm gonna be honest. Vibes kinda got ruined after that." Zee said.

"Keep the call on guys." Kagami said, turning the cam back on.

"You came back?" Akko asked.

"You idiots. He never left. He just turned off his cam." Tsukishima said.

"Sorry about that. I gotta have thicker skin than that." Kagami said.

"No I'm sorry. I shouldn't have made a joke like that. Piling on with the laughing made it feel like I was bullying you." Rei apologized.

"It's alright. I know you weren't trying to be mean. Like I said, I took it way too personally. Go ahead Akko."

"Kise?" Akko asked next.

"Nope. Definitely wish I had one though." He answered.

"Adrien?"

"I don't think cat jokes count so no."

"Sendo?"

"No." Sendo said, drinking water as he was notably sweating. Before this, he was training.

"X?"

"I don't have one. Sorry."

"Axl?"

"Nope."

"Where's Zero?" Tangle asked.

"Didn't wanna come."

"He, Whisper and Blaze are more alike than you think it appears. They're not here either. And before you ask, I don't have one. But I'd like to."

"No." Rally and Lanolin said.

"Okay. Well, what about you May?" Akko asked.

"Nope! Too cool and too cute to need one." May winked.

"I don't know if I have the creativity to come up with one admittedly." Becky F. said.

"Hmm, does 'Word Up' count?" Becky B. proposed in a low voice as her parents were around.

"Sure. I guess." Akko said.

"Rei?"

"Hold on a sec." Rei stood up as if she was performing her full sequence. "I am the guardian who fights for love and passion! And in the name of Mars… I'll chastise you!"

"How come you've never done that before on the show?" Kagami asked.

"Never had time for it honestly. And truth be told, it only really works when I'm going up against a villain."

"We don't have one. Sorry." Emma said as both she and Noah were sharing a screen.

"Zee?"

"Nah. Would be cool though."

"Bennett?"

"Nope and I don't feel the need for one honestly."

"Cicini?"

"Sorry. No." She said, trying not to laugh.

"Rick?"

"Yeah, I've got one. It rhymes with 'F*ck you'."

"Come on Rick. You really have to react like that instead of just saying no?"

"Alright, alright. Just messin' around." He said before drinking. "Wubba-lubba-dub-dub!"

"Morty?"

"Aw jeez."

"Kurt?"

"No. Can't say I do."

"Yulaw?"

"No. Sorry."

"Dawn?"

"Sorry, but no."

"Huh. So it looks like a lot of people on this team don't have one. Interesting." Akko said. "Lotte, are you getting this down?"

"Oh? Was I supposed to? Sorry." Lotte said.

"I think I kinda forgot to ask you. So it's not your fault."

"I've got it." Cicini said. "Not counting the absent ones, or eliminated members with Natsu also having one as well, looks like those with no catchphrase outnumber the ones that do have one on this team."

"Alright, I'm gonna hop off. Gonna eat. Later guys." Kagami said.

"I think we're done for right now too. We'll come back and do the other teams on some other day." Akko said.

"More meetings like this? Metal!" Nimona exclaimed.

"Well, see you guys another time!" Akko said before waving as everyone else said their goodbyes as well.

*End Confessional*

The Breakers were all at the elimination ceremony.

"All right. I'm sure you all know by know what happens. No Hailey plushy, no second chance."

"Wait, Hailey plushie?" Hailey repeated, confused.

"Yep! Got these made quick during the musical. Squeeze and watch what happens." Chris squeezes the one he had in his hand.

"Hailey's on it!" It said.

"Did you- why? Just….. why?"

"Because marketing."

"So you're telling me there's a Hailey plushie but no Beta plushie? Unbelievable." Beta said, on Hailey's lap.

"Nah. Not marketable enough. There's already enough stuff bears. Anyways, let's get to the elimination."

"Is this really needed though? The results-" Heloise started.

"Yes. Gotta give suspense." Chris said. "But since you decided to spoil it a bit, Shiro and Nimona, both of you are up for elimination. If I don't call your name, you're done!"

"Shiro! Some people are still concerned about you transforming. And it was also your responsibility to make sure Nimona remembered to complete the item."

"I know." Shiro said, closing his eyes.

"Nimona! Not only did you forget an item that you yourself confidently declared you could do, but you also burned through several of the bricks, leaving only one brick left, which you also burned, along with being one of the people responsible for destroying my cabins with Shiro, Rei and Monta."

Nimona sighed. "Yeah. I can understand why you guys wouldn't want me here anymore."

"Let's find out shall we? The first and final plushie of the night goes to…"

….

….

….

….

….

….

….

….

….

….

….

"Shiro!"

Shiro caught the plushie.

"Everybody makes mistakes kid. The great part is, you owned up to it." Doyle said.

"Doesn't make it any better. Was really hoping to play more." Nimona said.

"You only have your own incompetence to blame. This is the third time you've contributed to us losing. Having another chance is rightfully undeserved." Urien said.

"Alright, alright that's enough. Nobody needs to pile on to her she's already gone. Go ahead on the boat." Doyle instructed.

"Shiro, remember what I said to you earlier. I promise you, that is not you." Nimona turned around and said to him. He nodded, and if you were quick enough, you could see a bit of a smile on his face before she got on the boat.

"We'll miss ya kid. Not just your powers. Even if it wasn't for the whole time, you looked like you were havin' a whole lot of fun out there. And say what you will about your mistakes, but you did help us win a game or two too. And almost helped us stay in this one." Mr. Wolf said.

Nimona changed to Mr. Wolf. "Thanks pal. But it looks like I've been…. *changes to Dwayne* Verminated."

***Confessional***

Hanamiya(Wave Breakers):

"As much as I wanted Shiro to be gone, Nimona has made way too many mistakes that could cost us more teammates in the long run. Even if Team JET is a threat, like I said before, it's too early to be gutting the team of useful players. That'll come down the line soon enough. Trust me."

"Looks like I didn't need that recording to get rid of her after all. And as for Cruise, that season is... interesting."

***End Confessional***

"Alright, that was anticlimactic." Chef said.

"You mean like I said it was going to be?" Heloise said.

"Whatever. Anyways, you all are safe. For now. Now go ahead and head back home. See you all on the next challenge." Chris said as the portals closed. "Alright, make sure those table sets are in a good spot somewhere." He said to Chef, Heloise and Doyle after they closed.

"And with that, another contestant is gone! Who will be gone next? Why do I still have those tables? Find out next time on Total….. Drama….. Across the Multiverse!"

---

A/N: And with that, the shapeshifter Nimona is the next to go. Next up is Kart racing! From Mario Kart and a few other lesser known games! Which Mario Kart track do you think will be in the challenge? What are your predictions on the other games featured here? More than likely this will be double elimination. If anything changes, I'll let you know.

I know I'm a day late but I'd rather get it out later and make sure I catch those mistakes now then have to go back later along with adding some things.

Also, for anyone wondering, Eliza was fully intending on actually killing Hiruma away from the public eye before Dawn allowed Albedo to step in and stop her.

As for the Mortal Kombat game, this was more of a reference to Mortal Kombat Trilogy than Mortal Kombat 3. But the AI is brutal on both and MK2. That wasn't me playing it up for a joke. The cheating AI on pretty much all versions of the game is probably the worst part of some very fun games.
