Total Drama: Across the Multiverse

by StaticShock01

Chris returns for yet another season in what may be the most insane one yet. 69 contestants! 9 winners from the previous seasons! 28 network picks! 28 audience picks! Which contestant will come out of this madness!(52/98 initial contestants remaining, 119/165 overall) UPDATE: The teams join the Time Patrol in fixing history across the multiverse!

47. Supervillain Lockdown Part 1

A/N: A good ol' battle between heroes(or some heroes anyway) vs villains! Never gets old. And you'll be seeing that in this chapter! As always, hope you enjoy!

Also, just noticed that this has already gotten 50 kudos on AO3 at the time of writing, which is pretty insane considering this is already more than half of what Multiverse Edition has in a shorter amount of time. I appreciate it a lot! The same appreciation goes to the Quotev and FF dot net crowd as well. I've said before that I would get around to updating this on Wattpad but I've been forgetting to do so. It probably won't all be at once but I'll try to slowly update that over time to catch it back up with FF dot net, AO3, and Quotev, since I actually have been getting engagement over there as well when I've published stories.

Reviews:

Kauetheadventurer: Looks like you're catching up. Wouldn't make sense for me to try to address anything until you're closer to the latest chapter.

Faman: Yeah. Unfortunate, but I had to let him go. Fun fact, I originally was going go to have Heather be the reason he was eliminated as payback but scrapped it. Can she be petty? Yes, but at the same time, doing that at the risk of costing her team a win is not something she'd do, at least at the point she's at now. Island Heather, maybe.

Raysen101: Glad to hear you're excited for this one. Hopefully I can deliver on your expectations and then some.

"Last time on Total Drama Across the Multiverse!"

"Racing returned! Kart racing style! Taking a couple of creative liberties from one of my other selves, the teams would be back in a five race Gran Prix, where races would have different items to use and a lot more freedom and customization of vehicles compared to the original, akin to the king of Kart Racing Mario Kart."

Footage of Chris introducing himself in a Mario costume was seen along with him explaining the first race and the challenge overall.

"Though unlike the others, more obscure takes on the genre would also be put on display to make things even more interesting."

Footage of the contestants racing in a simulated version of a track on Primus, a jungle and the real Pahkitew Island as they sung Super Sonic Racing was shown.

"While the conditions varied, the level of competition didn't, and neither did the objective: Win or face double elimination. And Chef, Heloise, Doyle and a Total Drama veteran and Mario Kart pro herself, MK, all joining in on the fun to run interference wasn't going to make things any easier."

Footage of Chef, Heloise, Doyle and MK all finding different ways to make their mark on the races that they participated in was shown.

"There was a lot to see in the races, from the level of competition, to underhanded tactics, to Ryoma Echizen's continuous moxie allowing him to actually do well, to even Bakura showing off why he's no Joey. But yeah, if you want to see all of it, that's what reruns are for. Way too much to explain here."

Footage of Sophie and Lucy clashing once again, Ryoma showing off his prowess at Mario Kart and Bakura amazing showing off his ability to actually summon monsters from his deck to bring his bike out of the water was shown.

"But in the end, with help from determination… lies and outright cheating/breaking the rules, the Breakers were able to pull out a victory from the jaws of defeat. Seriously, up until they stormed back, they had no points after the second race."

Footage of Urien performing an Aegis Reflector on Huey, which was revealed to have been against the rules, Karin lying to Becky B. and her simply outsmarting Echizen in the Primus race was shown.

"As for the eliminations, the grim reaper called and took Huey Freeman and Rocky to the Total Drama graveyard next, with Rocky being the victim of an alliance simply just screwing him over, with one of the people that did feeling immediately bad for it. Not gonna lie, the immediate regret Becky had for doing that was like record time. Don't think I've ever seen that before. And the weirdest part is, none of the guys in that alliance are even pure evil or Heather and Alejandro."

Footage of Becky Farrah immediately showing how bad she felt for causing Rocky to finish last and Reimu consoling her with an offer of tea before the last episode ended was shown.

"Well, the good news for her, is that it's a new day! And that means, it's time for another challenge! Did she get a good amount of sleep last night? Did Reagan? Did I? Which Chris will I steal thunder from next? Find out on Total…..Drama…..Across the Multiverse!"

As Chris was still preparing the challenge, several of the contestants were free to either eat or be off to themselves. Ten in particular were playing beach volleyball. The captains of each were Hinata and Kageyama.

Hinata had Kaz, Ryoma Echizen, Asta and Myron while Kageyama had Diana, Ryoma, Toxsa and Eijun on his. As the rules were being explained, Cicini watched from a distance as Bennett was in front of her at a table, working on what seemed to have been an arm.

"Don't you think that looks fun?" Cicini asked.

"Oh this? Absolutely. This'll be a game chan-" Bennett started before she interrupted him.

"Not that. I mean the volleyball game they're playing."

"Not really."

"Want to join in on the next game? They might allow 2 more people to play."

"Nope. I'm good. Already made it clear that sports aren't my thing."

"You don't have to be some pro. It's moreso to take a break from all the work you've been doing with something that'll ease your mind."

"Mind's already at ease. And if I need to take a break, probably more beneficial to watch Captain Unicorn."

Cicini could only sigh at how much Bennett was not willing to really learn or participate in anything outside of making technology outside of the TV and reading he did. Before the mansion was destroyed he never wanted to play those either.

After explaining the rules, and everyone, at the very least, looked as if they had a basic understanding of it, the game started. It was a first to five game. After several minutes, Hinata's team won 5-4.

"Nice job Ryoma!" Hinata called out before giving him a high-five after his recent score to tie the game up.

"Looks like I'm starting to get the hang of it." Ryoma Echizen simply said, unable to hide his confident smile.

"Yeah, definitely looks like you're hitting your stride."

Kageyama sighed. "Alright, looks like that's it. I said it would be first to four and you guys won fair and square. Good game."

"Good games." Hinata said before he suddenly exploded. "HA! I told you we'd send balls flying your way!"

"Yeah you did. Literally in some cases. Asta, you seriously need to stop hitting the ball so damn hard!"

"He's right about that. It's okay to be aggressive, but that's way too hard. In a real game, you're going to be bound by actual lines, so you can't just get away with hitting the ball hard and winning every time."

"So, shouldn't we have drawn real lines then? We are learning the game after all." Asta reasoned.

"It's fine for here since we're learning." Kageyama said.

"Yeah." Hinata nodded.

"Okay. I'll try to control my hits better next time."

"Your sets too. Sure, I can jump high and so can Ryoma, but some of those were pretty hard to actually hit."

"Asta's not the only one that needs improvement. Kaz, your positioning's off as well." Myron said.

"Positioning? You barely even know how to play and now you're telling me about positioning?" Kaz said in disbelief.

"I don't think you're wrong, but, there's some things you need to work on too Myron." Hinata said frankly.

"What is it? I thought I did pretty well." Myron said, surprised.

"Well, for one, you're taking too long to make decisions. And the ones you make don't always match up with what the others have made too. No one's perfect and there's going to be some disconnect, but you've got to make faster decisions." Kageyama said.

"Okay. I'll try."

"Ryoma, and I mean the one on my team, you're a little bit in the same boat as Asta when it comes to hitting too hard. And also, be more aggressive. Don't try to look for passes every time. Sometimes, you have to do it yourself."

Ryoma nodded.

"Diana, solid but your footwork needs some work. And the positioning of your passes and spikes could be better too."

"I'll be sure to take that into account. Thank you." Diana said.

"Toxsa, your reactions are just to slow. That's all there is to it. Speed those up and then we can get to the other stuff you need to improve on."

"They'd be better if I didn't spend like half my energy working out." Toxsa said.

"If you're that tired then that's a stamina issue. Maybe spend less time playing games and more on improving that." Diana said.

"Your stamina could use a bit of work too to be honest." Kageyama pointed out, which surprised her, but she didn't protest, only closing her eyes.

"And Eijun. The effort's there, but your control is awful. And your hits and reaction times are all over the place." Kageyama finished.

"Well then, tell me how I can fix it." Eijun said, to the surprise of several people who thought he'd yell and protest.

"Decision making. I don't know if you're thinking too much or if it's something else. That's more of something you need to figure out before I can do anything to help."

"I hate to break up your game since it looks like you're having fun, bt you'll need to figure that out later." Doyle said, walking up to the ten. "Chris is done, so I'm sure you know what that means."

Both Ryomas nodded.

Eijun had a wide grin on his face. "Challenge time."

***Confessional***

Ryoma Echizen(Storm Kings):

"I still have a ways to go when it comes to playing volleyball. Which is exactly why I decided to drop in and join when I saw what they were doing. It's a good way to pass the time, and I get to improve from the last time I played. If I can learn how to play billiards, I can figure this out too."

***End Confessional***

Everyone met at the center of the island.

"Alright! Apologies for the delay. But now, we can go ahead and get started with today's challenge. If you like fighting or action, then I'm sure you're gonna like this challenge a lot. Because that's purely what this challenge is going to be today. No complicated rules. No weird win conditions, none of that. Just straight up fisticuffs and beatdowns." Chris announced.

"Oh you mean I get to legitimately beat Kagami's a[censored]? Sign me up." Aomine said.

"You're talking as if we've actually fought before." Kagami said.

"Yeah I mean we haven't. But now we will."

"You seem way too excited to want to fight him." Kise said to Aomine.

"Actually, no. None of you will be fighting each other. You've got bigger fish to fry than that." Chris said.

"Let me guess, we're going to be fighting some big bad right?" Toxsa asked.

"You're close. Several big bads."

"Okay. We're more than equipped to handle them I would think. So who are they?" Ruby R. asked.

"I like the confidence. We'll see if you guys can back that up. Like I said, today's challenge is simple: You fight, beat up bad guys, and that's it. You've gotten a decent amount of practice doing that against each other, whether individually or working as a team. And destroying cities, and my island while you're at it."

"Still not letting that go huh?" Yang asked.

"Of course I'm not letting that go! You guys literally destroyed my stuff! What am I supposed to do just be happy about it?"

"Thankfully, I don't have to worry about doing the heavy lifting for that anymore." Chef said.

"Oh. Well nice to know that you care about that, but not about the property damage around several of the places we've been in. And the potential civilian harm." Becky B. said sarcastically.

"Look, no one got hurt. As long as that happens, no harm no foul. And if they do, that's what you guys are here for. And hospitals." Chris said.

"What do you mean 'that's what we're here for'? If we had the ability to fix things like that don't you think we would have done that for Cameron and Shawn when they got injured?" Rex asked.

"Oh. Right. Darn it. Should have accepted a dedicated healer. Other than Grogu." Chris said.

"Now you say that after they're gone. Too little too late for that bud."

"No. Even though Grogu can do that, you've already seen the extent of what he can possibly do. Asking him to be a medic is too much for him." Din said.

"What about that healing spell Sophie did?" Bren brought up.

"Everfight only works on the user themselves. And even then, you have to have enough magical energy left to even be able to do it." Sophie said.

"Okay, well these things are good to know. Because now I suggest you be even more careful if no one has a dedicated healer on any of the teams." Chris said.

"You still never answered Ruby's question though. Who are we going to be fighting? Or are you keeping that a surprise?" Blake asked.

"Yes and no. Each team will fight in five stages, each stage having a main villain to fight at the end. Defeat that villain and you pass and advance to the next stage. Lose and you fail the challenge. Win in all five stages and you pass the challenge. You'll get a freebie and see the first person that'll be in the paths you choose as there will be three different paths, one for each team. Keep in mind that that first pair will dictate who you fight from then on. Or maybe it won't. Who knows." Chris said.

"Are you trying to trick us or….." Ruby R. asked.

"Yeah, this seems like some trick question to get us to pick wrong." Akko said.

"Oh there's no right or wrong pick. You still have to pick one regardless." Chris said. "I'm just explaining that before you start."

"Okay, so if there are three paths, with one for each team, with the freedom of team choice, how will we decide who gets to choose first?" Alejandro asked.

"Easy. With this." Chris said before bringing in a machine that had a digital screen above it along with a red cushion.

"I recognize that. That's the punching machine used in the World Martial Arts Tournament." Good Launch pointed out.

"Right you are Launch! This punching machine is used to determine the strength of a fighter to ensure the matchups are more evenly matched in terms of strength in the tournaments. Granted, they can still be lopsided for different reasons, but it does help. You don't want some giant muscleman pounding on a twig. Even though that would be entertaining to see here. But because of how fast it ends, it'd definitely get boring fast." Chris said.

"So now, we're going to take one of you from each team to punch into the red cushion here to determine your strength. The team with the highest number chooses first, and the team with the second highest chooses second, leaving the team with the lowest to automatically has to take whatever path is left." Chris said.

"So do we get to pick who does this? That'd make the most sense. Randomizing it could make things unfairly unbalanced." Isagi asked.

"No! That's already been done." Chris said. "Chef! Reveal who's the lucky guys or gals that'll be representing their team for this."

"Bennett, Myron and Bren! You're up!" Chef announced.

"You pick the weakest guy on our team? Come on!" Dan said, up in arms.

"You're not exactly that strong yourself." Miyuki said.

"So what? At least I know I'm stronger than him!"

"So what if I'm not as strong as you guys? I know I can do well to win us the advantage of picking first." Myron said confidently.

"I'm sensing a correlation here." Bennett said.

"I am too. How come all of the guys you just picked are literally nerds?" Todd asked.

"And? What's wrong with being smart?" Bren asked.

"Because, there's always a chance for you to be as sorry as Sheldon."

"Except, no one but you and probably Riley know who that is." Bennett said.

"And you don't need to. And good news for you guys, none of you are actually as sorry as he is."

"Come on Todd, there's no need to be unnecessarily mean." Riley said.

"Unnecessarily? He does it to himself!"

"Asking Todd to be the judge of who's sorry is like asking Six his opinion on the best movie to watch. You can't trust it." Rex said.

"You never know, the man might have a great taste in movies." Bobo said. "I mean if ol' straight-faced marksman likes Rocky, the possibilities are endless."

"Don't forget, this guy's got Toy Story as his favorite movie. And just look at the intimidating musclehead jock presence he gives off at a first glance." Rei said before thumbing at Kagami.

"At least I made a decision. Fence straddler. And you don't exactly give off sweet girl energy with that hotheaded a[censored] attitude you got either." Kagami said.

"There's way too many movies out there for me to choose one. And you're calling me the hothead?"

"Yeah, yeah, whatever you say Ms. Straddler. Anyways, who's going to go first?"

"Doesn't really matter but I guess since they won the last challenge, Myron goes first." Chris said.

"You really think I'm gonna let you get the last word in?" Rei added as Myron stepped up to the punching machine.

"A little late for a clap back." Kagami said, unable to contain his triumphant smile.

"Whatever. I'll get you back in something. Somehow."

"Damn sure won't be cooking, that's for sure."

"I can't wait to see if you can dance then mister tall, strong and handsome. Dancing is a different animal to dribbling a basketball."

"Just like cooking is different from fighting. So we still got a lot to learn."

"Myron what the heck are you doing dude? Punch it already!" Kaz called out.

"Sorry! But I have to make sure I do this right." Myron said.

"You're thinking about it too much! Just give it your best shot!" Good Launch called out.

"She's right you know. Overthinking it isn't gonna help matters. Just give it a good punch!" Diego said in an encouraging tone as he was eating a bag of donuts.

Myron sighed. He would have preferred more time to think about the angle of his attack but with how impatient some people were getting, he'd need to get it done now. Even if no one else was saying it, he could read it on their faces.

He began to pull out Storm Slazor.

"Nope! No abilities! No weapons! No tools! It's gotta be your own strength!" Chris said.

Myron puts the machine away, sighing. "Well, that dismisses any sort of strategy I had. Here goes. I really hope Gurao's training paid off." He thought before balling up his fist, closing his eyes and punching the cushion.

He was able to score a 41.

"41!" Chef announced as the number was shown on the digital screen above the punching cushion.

"Is that good?" Libby asked.

"Well, for reference, that's about a third of Hercule's strength if that helps." Heloise said.

"Oh you mean that martial arts guy. Well if that's the case, great job Myron!" Molly called out before clapping.

"Hooray! Hooray!" PEL called out before clapping.

"Alright, Bren, you're up!" Chris called out.

Bren stepped in front of the punching machine.

"Just give it your best try. We're not asking you to be some powerhouse. That's what your Monsuno are for, right?" Jotaro said to Bren.

"That's where you're wrong Jotaro." Bren said. "Without me, there is no Monsuno. Just like without Myron there is no Slazor. And without Paul there is no Pokemon or Bakura and his cards!"

Gorem sighed. "I suppose we'll be under the radar."

"Don't worry about it. You'll always be a star in my book." Julie said.

"I'm not gonna be the strongest guy on this team. At least, with this body anyway. But that doesn't mean I'm just some guy that can be picked on by Chris or made fun of by Todd! Don't play stupid Chris! You picked us because we're the supposed weakest here!"

"Uh, I never denied it." Chris said.

"See!? You think you can just make fun of us? You can't! We're no laughing stocks! No I see what Midorima was trying to tell me. I-"

"Hit the punching machine or I'm going to void your score." Chris said.

"Thank you. This dude chooses like the worst time to go on some monologue." Murasakibara said.

"It's not a dumb monologue!" Bren called out before he yelled and punched the machine, eyes closed.

His score was being calculated. Seconds later the score was shown on the screen.

"47!"

"Nice job! Looks like you've scored your team at least second pick." Chris said.

"Great job!" Huey called out.

"All he needed was a little motivation it seemed. Thanks." Sly said to Murasakibara.

"If that motivated him, cool, I guess." Murasakibara said nonchalantly.

"No, not cool! We could end up getting last pick!" Rei spoke up, upset with how casually he was taking this.

"I mean we'd still have to do it anyways. Honestly don't see the big deal even if we do lose." Murasakibara said.

"We'd lose the strategic advantage. The degree of difficulty of the opponents we face could differ." X said.

"Devil's advocate here. Murasakibara's not wrong. But, phoning it in and just giving that opportunity away isn't something we should think about." Lucy said.

Hiruma comically shot his Nerf gun in the air. "That isn't an option! You better punch that damn machine as hard you can four eyes!"

"Wasn't planning on doing anything else." Bennett said before going to the machine.

***Confessional***

Bennett(Radical Rats):

"Do I expect to be able to just get a massive score? Nope. Just like my counterparts on the other teams, I don't expect to be some all-powerful, weightlifting powerhouse. But that doesn't give me an excuse to not try. So, here goes nothing."

***End Confessional***

Bennett rolls back the sleeves on his sweater as Miyuki pulled out his phone.

"Oh yeah buddy, show off those muscles." Aomine remarked, which got Weiss to step on his foot to make him be quiet.

As Bennett was about to punch the machine, Miyuki's phone suddenly started blaring as Eijun and Asta was heard yelling from being scared by whatever was on his phone.

"The hell!?" Rick and Reagan said simultaneously.

The yelling and the sudden noise from his phone caused Bennett to flinch as he punched it and several other people to jump. The score was being calculated.

"SHUT THE HELL UP!" Kageyama, Sendo and Kagami yelled out.

"Sorry! Sorry! What he showed us actually scared the heck out of me." Asta said.

"33!" Chef called out.

"Ooh, too bad! Looks like your team gets what's left." Chris said.

"And you can thank Miyuki for that." Rei said sarcastically.

"What in the world did you show them?" Weiss asked Miyuki.

"Roblox." Miyuki said, grinning.

"Uh….. what?" Toxsa said, confused.

"Roblox? The game?"

"I know what that is but….. why?"

"WHAT IS WRONG WITH YOU!?" Eijun shouted, shaking Miyuki relentlessly.

"And they say Hiruma's mind needs to be looked at." Dan said, referring to Miyuki.

Hiruma wasn't happy at all as he looked over at the grin on Miyuki's face, knowing that what he did wasn't him trying to be funny. At least a hundred percent anyway.

Hanamiya's jaw dropped a little in surprise before smiling internally. "Now I see what he was doing. That little sneak."

"All right! Now that that's been decided, let's bring in the next part of things before the challenge." Chris said before a monitor was brought in. On the screen was Camp Wawanakwa in the background with three paths being shown at the forefront of the picture. The paths each had five portraits, though only the first out of each of the paths could be seen.

"Wait a sec. Why the heck are Slyger and Granox here?" Toxsa asked, referring to the pair in suit and ties and matching black fedora hats and sunglasses on the bottom path.

"Chuck the Evil Sandwich Making Guy?" Becky B. said, referring to the main in the Sandwich costume in the top path as Kagami, Rei, Todd, Rex, Louie, Dewey, Randy, Zak and Aomine all tried to refrain from laughing.

"That's your villain?" Todd asked.

"Yep. Not exactly the best preview for the villains I've had to face but yes, he is one of my adversaries."

"Well, I think we know which path we need to pick." Louie said.

"I wouldn't blame ya. Slyger and Granox aren't exactly the most threatening pair either, but at least they actually look and can be somewhat of a threat. This guy looks like some joke character you'd put in a game." Toxsa said.

"Is that so huh? Well, I think we have a gift for you guys." Mr. Wolf said, smirking at the Rats.

"Can't even make the excuse that she's a kid 'cause Toxsa's 12. Her villains just suck. At least from face value anyway." Rick said.

"Oh man. Damn, your job's gotta be easy fightin' guys like that." Kagami remarked, laughing as he was leaning on Rei's shoulder. "Your villains don't look like this, right?" He asked her.

"Okay, I think that's enough." Becky B. said, trying to hide the fact that she was getting annoyed.

"They've been stranger than this at times, so I'll give her that." Rei said.

"Yeah, but have any of them actually dressed up as a sandwich and called themselves the Evil Sandwich Making Guy?" Sly asked.

"Nope. Not that I recall. By the way, that name's way too long."

"Yeah, it's gotta be short and roll of the tongue like-" Randy started before Becky suddenly exploded.

"There is nothing wrong with my villains! Since you guys want to put so much emphasis on mocking just my villains, I want to hear what yours are like! And go ahead! Take the Chuck path! I want to see how much difficulty you'll have with the rest!"

"Well, that's for them to decide, not you. Bren, pick your path for your team!" Chris said.

"You never know, he could be stronger than we think." Riley said.

"Bebop and Rocksteady aren't too tough either. They were there in the last season I was in." Marinette said, referring to the pair in the middle path.

"So you're familiar with these two?" Eliza asked.

"Yeah. Didn't face them but Misty faced one of them with her Pokemon. So did Huey. And Misty's Pokemon were a lot weaker than Paul's from what I've seen so far."

"Then we'll beat them again." Paul declared.

"I've gotta agree there. I'd rather go against the devil I know than the devil we don't. Regardless of how he looks, we have no idea what he can do. I'm all for going up against those two if you guys know how they are." Isagi said.

"Seconded." Ruby R. said.

"Anyone else?" Bren asked.

"Go for it. Bebop and Rocksteady." Yang said.

"Okay, we'll take the middle path." Bren declared.

"Alright! Kings! The 2nd path is yours! Enjoy!" Chris said. "Myron! First or third?"

"Like I said before, I'd rather go up against the sandwich dude than Granox and Slyger." Toxsa said.

"You know them better than all of us. Are you sure?" Mr. Wolf asked.

"Let's see, the guys that are strong enough to bullrush through steel crates and can throw cars when they actually try? Or the dude that'll probably just launch sandwiches like he's Chef, except the food might taste good? What do you think?"

"They're that strong!?" Bennett and Myron said.

"Okay, Chuck, no question." Myron declared quickly.

"Alright! The first path is yours! Which leaves the Rats with the third and final path! Starting with Granox and Slyger! Enjoy!" Chris said.

"I may not exactly be pleased at having to take a more difficult path, but, the likes of Granox and Slyger should be of no concern to us." Albedo said.

"Maybe. Maybe not. We'll see." Chris said before he began to explain what was about to happen next.

"Bennett, Myron and Bren will make up the first members of the teams that'll be sent in. Each team will be composed of ten members. With there being a starting five and subs in case one of you goes down. You'll also be able to have two assists from teammates either not participating or eliminated to give you a bit of a pick-me-up for about a minute along with having an actual phone-a-friend card available too. With it, you'll be able to either contact someone you know or a teammate to actually join the battle and assist you for one full stage. But remember, once you use those, you cannot use them again so you might want to use them wisely. To use them, simply tap your armband and choose who you want to bring in. That's it! It's that simple!"

"The same thing with losing a teammate. If one of you are unable to battle, even if they recover when they're already taken out, it's too little, too late. Once they're out, they're out. Of course, you'll have these to keep track of things to make it easier for us." Chris said before they were handed armbands that had a light running across it.

"These monitor your health and of course will increase or decrease based on what's happening to you. If the bar reaches zero, you've got five seconds to recover before you're pulled back and officially eliminated. Now then, when Chef calls your name, you'll be joining Bren, Myron or Bennett for this challenge." Chris finished.

"Tangle, Cicini, Sendo, Axl, Yulaw, Lotte, Rick, Morty and Natsu! You'll be with Bennett! He along with Tangle, Axl, Cicini and Rick are your starting five!"

"Rook, Mayuzumi, Weiss, Akashi, Aomine, Huey, Razer, Penny and Bobo! You're with Bren! Huey, Rook, Bren, Bobo and Mayuzumi will be the starting five."

"Randy, Launch, Reagan, Noelle, Julie, Fiona, Urien, Ayame and Asta! You're gonna be with Myron! Myron, Randy, Reagan, Ayame and Launch are your starting five!"

"Great, now I've got to work with you." Bennett said to Rick sarcastically.

"Trust me kid, I'm not exactly thrilled about this either." Rick said.

"Even if you aren't thrilled about it, you're going to have to get it done." Hiruma said.

"Hiruma's right, teamwork is the key. You don't have to like it, but at least be able to set your feelings aside for this challenge." Lanolin said.

"Now here's how this works, each team is going to go in, one at a time." Chris began to explain.

"There will be no restrictions on what you can and can't use. Only limits will be ones you set on yourselves. What do I mean by that? There's ways you can actually get stronger or help yourself and/or your teammates. But to avoid anyone from opposing teams giving hints on how to deal with some of them, that's only going to be communication between teammates in the actual stage. Wouldn't be fun if you knew how to take them out from the get-go."

"Everyone else will get to spectate in the Aftermath set. To win, all you need to do is have more people left than the other teams. That's it. Do not ask me for a time tiebreaker because I'm not going to give that to you if you ask. No one's timing it period. If there is a tiebreaker needed, we'll settle it through other means. Have the least members left, and you're going to be sending someone home today. Win, and you'll get a prize that'll be revealed later. Any questions?"

Lotte raised a hand.

"So, will we have access to things we normally wouldn't be able to? For example, my magic?" Lotte asked.

"Like I said, there's no limits to what you can and can't do here."

"So I'm assuming that can be interpreted as a yes?" Diana asked.

"Listen to what I said earlier and you'll get your answer."

"But that's pretty vague. How are we-" Emma started.

"Kings, get in the portal before you guys annoy me to death since everyone keeps asking the same question over and over again." Chris said.

"But how is that their fault? You're literally not answering the question." Blake said.

"Kings. Portal. Now. You guys. Film lot. Now." Chris said before also opening a portal to the film lot.

"Well, guess I might be able to put that trainin' to use." Aomine said.

"If you get that opportunity. We should be able to clear these two with fair ease." Wess said confidently.

"Welp, break a leg, I guess. Let's hope it's not literally so we don't have to save your a[censored]. And by we I mean everyone else cause I'm not doin' it."

"Sometimes I can't tell if you're serious or joking."

"Yeah, that's because you have a bad sense of humor."

"That's not humor. And I can be funny!"

"Yeah no she can't." Yang remarked.

"Quiet!"

"Oh I already know that. She tells me these crappy jokes all the time when we're practicing."

"And now he's blatantly lying. Don't think I can't revoke your training."

"Soooory. I'll behave next time mom. Seriously though, your puns are bad."

Bobo clears his throat intentionally. "If you could go ahead and give your good luck kiss, we can get this goin'." Bobo said, waiting at the portal.

"Keep saying crazy stuff like that I might make sure you have eyepatches over both your eyes." Aomine said, not happy that Bobo made that remark. "Now get goin'. 'Fore Diddy Fury apes out." He said before pushing Weiss forward.

"Oh I'll ape out alright if you call me that again. Ain't no trainin' from your girl is gonna save ya." Bobo said, pointing at Aomine.

"Did you have to push me that hard?" Weiss asked after turning around.

"Yep. Otherwise, you weren't gonna go." Aomine said. "But good luck. Tell the others I said that too. I mean it."

Weiss could only roll her eyes and shake her head as she hurried to catch up with her teammates as Akko and Hailey looked at one another.

***Confessional***

Akko(Radical Rats):

"Another ship to add on to the list. Now what's a good name? KagaRei is one thing, but Weiss and Aomine's names are too weird to add together. Hmm… these need some more flavor…."

***End Confessional***

***Confessional***

Toxsa(Wave Breakers):

"Everything I said about those two is a hundred percent true. Those guys are probably the least of our worries other than the usual Corrupted ground soldiers. But that's on Quarton. On Earth, without our powers, it's a completely different story. It'd be one thing if it was something like that, but with who that team's got to rep them, Natsu can solo those two easy. Vilius? That's a different story. Doubt it'd happen but it'd get interesting."

Kings Stage 1: New York(TMNT 1987/Shredder's Revenge Game)

(A/N: I decided to do this to make things easier to follow than just switching back and forth, especially when it comes to the final stages)

After going in the portal, the next thing they knew, they were suddenly on a highway during the middle of the day. They looked to have been on a bridge.

"Straight into the action huh?" Bobo remarked before he and his other four companions were almost ran over by cars and trucks passing by, blowing because of the fact that four kids and a monkey were just in the middle of the street.

"This is not the smartest place to put us 'straight into the action'!" Rook said, having to jump over another car before he was feline roadkill.

Bren pulled out a core and was about to launch Neo-Quickforce.

"Neo-Quickforce! L-"

"Look out!" Weiss called out before pushing him out of the way of a car that was about to run him over, but also causing him to drop his core on the ground.

"My core!"

He was able to thankfully get it before any extra cars came and was about to do it again before Wess grabbed his arm to stop him.

"Maybe it's a good idea to do that in a clearer area." Weiss said to Bren.

"You know, when you're not at risk of gettin' splattered." Bobo said, jumping on the window of another car.

"Guess you're right about that." Bren concluded before putting away the core.

"Okay, so we're in a city obviously. But what else are supposed to do? And I gotta agree with Rook here. This is a terrible place to start things off!" Huey said frantically, trying not to be a dead duck in the road.

"Regardless, we have to make do and find a way out of here before we get killed." Mayuzumi said, scaring Huey as he didn't know he was on the side of him.

"Chris, I know I sound like a broken record but….. HAVE YOUR LOST EVER LOVING MIND!?" Courtney shouted as Chris was watching in the Aftermath Set with them.

"Yeah, this is too far. Putting them on the busy streets of New York, powers or not is a death sentence. Potentially literally in this case." Emma said.

"If they hope to advance, they'll figure a way out of this." Chris said.

"We can't just keep dodging. We have to move!" Weiss called out.

"Ice queen here's right. Let's go folks!" Bobo said, gesturing for them to follow. Continuing to run, dodge and jump cars as best they could, they navigated the bridge as best as they could before they were rewarded for their persistence. In the form of four heroes in a half shell!

"Ice queen. That's a new one. I'm officially stealin' that." Aomine commented.

"Oh wow. A ninja turtle appearance? Didn't see that one coming." Reagan commented. "No sarcasm. I really didn't see that coming."

"New York, kinda makes sense honestly." Rick commented.

"Need a hand?" Leonardo, the turtle with the blue eye mask, swords and had the "L" initial on his belt buckle asked as he was on a blue hoverboard asked the five.

"Oh better yet, how about a board?" Donatello offered, riding a purple hoverboard as they each tossed out five green boards for them to use.

"We'll take it! Thanks!" Huey declared, quickly accepting the offer.

After continuing their momentum and getting on the boards, the five were alongside the four heroes.

"If you're looking for a rundown, Bebop and Rocksteady are causing some Mutant Mayhem in the streets!" Mikey said.

"And it's our job, with the help of you guys, to stop them!" Leonardo said.

"Wait, this is real right?" Bren asked.

"What? You got a talking monkey but you see a talking turtle and now you're questioning what's real? Why's it always gotta be us?" Raph remarked.

"You don't believe it's real, try getting hit by one of those cars to find out. Besides, ain't no VR challenge gonna get New York traffic right." Bobo said to Bren said.

"No thanks." Bren quickly dropped the offer before lasers came flying their way.

"Is that real enough for you?" Raph asked, referring to the several little flying drones that were shooting at them.

"If these things are near then that means the Foot already know we're coming and are trying to stop us ahead of time." Leonardo said.

"Then let's do our part and help out." Weiss said.

"Go ahead. Be our guest." Raph said, deflecting one of the lasers with his sai and then jumping to kick one of the robots out of the sky and then landing back on his board.

"Fun fact, I have worked with those guys. Not them in particular, different ones." Doyle said to the spectating contestants.

"Now that you mention, I do recall meeting them myself. With Goku and the others." Launch pointed out.

It didn't take long for the Foot forces themselves to get involved as they were also on their own hoverboards, some having laser weapons, some melee-based weapons like swords and some having no weapons at all.

"Foot Ninjas ahead!" Leonardo called out as they slowed down to get closer to the nine.

"I think we know what time it is."

"Time for me to prove my worth by fighting without my Monsuno for once?" Bren suggested before being tossed a pistol by Bobo.

"Don't lose it. Or else you're gonna wish the Foot was all you had to deal with." Bobo warned, pointing at him.

"Uh…."

"Point and shoot. You're supposed to be a smart guy. This should be easy for you."

"True. If even a monkey could do it….." Bren said before laughing a little.

"Of course you'd go for that."

Mutants Over Broadway performed by Anton Corazza and Composed by Tee Lopes Plays (TMNT Shredder's Revenge Video Game)

"Let's go guys!" Leonardo said as they got closer to the Foot Forces and robots.

"Go Green Machine!" All four turtles called out.

(A/N: No characters are apart of this musical in terms of reciting it. Think of t as more of a music video)

Ay, Ay!
Ay, Ay!
Ay, Ay! We sayin' "Cowabunga"

It ain't no power struggle in the game
No doubt we tougher how we got these cowards runnin' home
And I'm like, why they out here frontin'?

*As they continued to battle on the road, they caught up to Bebop and Rocksteady in the Turtle Tenderizer*

These crews get rocked steady

*Rocksteady peeks out from the passenger side and throws out bombs at the nine who dodge*

We play 'em faster than bebop
Gillespie with the technique
Y'all don't like 1-on-1s?

*Each turtle showcases their skills as each verse is heard*
Shoot, Mikey take a hundred plus some with the nunchucks,
Leonardo cut 'em up.
Donny, he the smartest,
he gonna teach whoever dumb enough
and Raph just askin': Saitachi or the uppercut, what's up?

Ay, ay, Rollin' on Broadway
Ay, ay, Rollin' on Broadway
Ay, ay, Rollin' on Broadway
Rollin' on Broadway, I could do this all day (let's go!)

Ay, ay, Rollin' on Broadway
Ay, ay, Rollin' on Broadway
Ay, ay, Rollin' on Broadway
Rollin' on Broadway, I could do this all day!

*The nine, the Foot and Bebop and Rocksteady enter a tunnel where construction was present. Bebop and Rocksteady run over the construction while the others continue to fight and avoid it*

Can't handle this
You gon' end up in some bandages or an ambulance
or on

Channel 6 while they reportin' what the damage is
We the champions!

Better than a 10 outta 8. Shredder better get down and pray.
Don't ever let me let out the rage from the cage,
I'm a beast, you will get out the game
They sayin' Go Green Machine

We'd rather be eatin' pizza but first y'all gonna eat the street
Face down, you see defeat for thinkin' you could see our team in a box like CRTs
Just scream "retreat, retreat!"
We defeatin' fleets easily
Y'all should'a came peacefully
Come on, now

*The group are now back on a bridge*

Ay, ay, Rollin' on Broadway
Ay, ay, Rollin' on Broadway
Ay, ay, Rollin' on Broadway
Rollin' on Broadway, I could do this all day (let's go!)

Ay, ay, Rollin' on Broadway
Ay, ay, Rollin' on Broadway
Ay, ay, Rollin' on Broadway
Rollin' on Broadway, I could do this all day!

*Closing Instrumental Period Plays*

"If you'd slow down, this'd make things a whole lot easier for us!" Bren called out to the criminal pair.

"No way Jose!" Rocksteady called out before throwing more bombs.

"Guess you forgot to say please." Raph said, shrugging before grabbing a hold of a Foot Ninja and throwing him into an open manhole that they passed by.

"Please! I kindly suggest that you slow your vehicle this instant!" Rook called out.

"I…. don't think he meant that literally cat dude." Mikey said.

"Well here's my version." Bobo said before shooting Rocksteady with a perfectly aimed shot in the eyes as he peeked out again to throw more bombs, causing him to go back in the vehicle. They then began to slow down.

Music Stops

"Huh. I guess it worked." Huey said.

"No it didn't! Move out of the way!" Weiss called out, realizing what was happening. They were slowing with the intention of sending them off the road. Though they took some of the Foot Forces with them in the process.

Huey and Bren barely dodged the attempt before they speed back up.

"Ha! We got you good!" Rocksteady taunted, exiting the vehicle again before being hit in the eye again.

"Why that little monkey! I'll show him!" He said before grabbing his blaster rifle. He peeked out and began to fire back at all of them. Though the only hits he scored was via friendly fire.

"These idiots are getting rid of their own help." Karin commented.

"I told you these two aren't exactly big threats." Marinette said.

"Then they need to get rid of them quickly and stop fooling around." Shiro commented.

"Dude, hello? Do you want them to win? They're not on our team." Toxsa reminded him.

"Even so, he's right. Nothing good will come from unnecessarily prolonging things, even against these two." Din said.

"If you will not stop voluntarily, then we have no choice but to make you do so by force!" Rook called out.

"I mean, there ain't exactly any other option at this point." Bobo said.

"Hold still…." Bren said under his breath, trying to time a core spin just right to bounce off the Turtle Tenderizer. But it would ultimately miss as the vehicle suddenly started to swerve erratically before going off the bridge.

Using the grapple on his Proto-Tool, Rook quickly pulled the core back.

"Thanks. You're a lifesaver. Literally." Bren said.

"You are welcome. Now then, how did-" Rook started before Mayuzumi was seen with a blaster rifle in his hands.

"Unfortunately for us, we're not through yet." Mayuzumi remarked, referring to the rather angry pair of mutants that were up ahead, blocking their path forward. Though they weren't alone as upgraded drones were seen along with them and Foot Ninjas with upgraded weapons.

The nine get off their boards and confront them.

"So uh, are you going to pick up your trash?" Donatello quipped, referring to the Turtle Tenderizer part-submerged in the water below them.

"Nope! But we'll be more than willin' to take you out!" Bebop, the mutant warthog countered before pulling out his own rifle.

"And your little friends too! You all better say your prayers!" The mutant rhino Rocksteady declared, weapon already in his hands.

"Looks like it's time for them to face-off against the main events of this stage! Bebop and Rocksteady!" Chris announced.

"I give it about 2 minutes." Ben commented.

"Nah. Way too many people for them to deal with. One." Rex said.

"One is a stretch. They're not that good, but I don't think it's going to be that quick, especially with those ninjas backing them up." Ruby R. said as the pair began to shoot at all of them with the Foot Ninjas also attacking with lasers and other weapons like staffs, swords, and even electrified pike staffs.

"Bombs away!" Rocksteady called out before throwing out several bombs everywhere. Seconds later they exploded, forcing the others to have to dodge, but exploding on the Foot Ninjas in the process.

"You're hurting your own guys! Don't you see-" Huey started before seeing one of the heads on the ground. If it wasn't for the fact that sparks were coming out of it, he would have screamed.

"They're….. robots?" Bren and Huey remarked as the former dodged an overhead leaping slice before shooting it in the head.

"Yep. Been that way for a while." Raph said before picking up one of them by his sai and throwing it at Bebop as a shield to block the blaster shots headed his way.

"Well, now I got less of a reason to feel bad for these jokers." Bobo said before shooting three more.

"Even with this fact, we must end this quickly." Rook remarked, using the energy blade mode on his Proto Tool to dodge then slice two more in half.

"Around we go!" Bebop said before laughing and spinning around, shooting several purple blaster shots.

"Get down!"

This caused everyone to duck the errant blaster shots before Rocksteady charged like a bull to trample all of them, hitting Bren and some of the ninjas in the process.

Using his Misdirection, Mayuzumi was able to attack Bebop from behind and hit him in the head with a whack from the blaster rifle that he had.

"Owhow! Who did that?" Bebop said, rubbing the back of his head in pain before turning around. No one was there. The next thing he knew he was hit by blaster shots, knocking him down, but not out of the fight. "No ones told me we was fightin' ghosts!"

Suddenly, he was hit in the nose by Donatello and Leonardo.

"Nope, you're fighting turtles!" Leonardo remarked.

"Misdirection strikes again." Sly commented, referring to Mayuzumi.

"Yeah. Who knew it'd be useful in a real fight?" Kise remarked.

"I mean, you forget that I use stealth when I fight too."

"True. But still, I never considered him to be much of a fighter at all. Then again, other than what I saw of him in the Rakuzan game against Seirin, I honestly don't know too much about the guy."

"You and me both. Other than his basketball ability and the fact that he reads, I don't think anyone really does. Not even Akashi, and he was teammates with the guy."

After bouncing off one of the heads off a Foot Ninja, Bren's Monsuno were all unleashed from their cores, surprising the ninjas and the pair.

"No one said we was gonna fight more mutants either!" Bebop added.

"Nothin' our secret weapon can't fix!" Rocksteady remarked.

"Oh yeah! Use it whenever you're in really, really big trouble."

They pulled out a mega weapon and was about to charge it. But before it could even gather energy for anyone to even see what it could do, they were both rammed and knocked unconscious by the Monsuno, with Rook immediately stripping them of their weapons and incapacitating them.

"Consider yourselves finished." Rook declared.

"Next time, don't announce out loud that you're gonna use a secret weapon that could do us in, dum-dums." Bobo said to the pair.

"I think you're asking for too much from these two." Raph remarked.

"Yeah. Bebop and Rocksteady aren't exactly the smartest pair in the world. But they make up for it with strength." Donatello said.

"Strength doesn't mean anything if you don't know how to use it. These two fit that description perfectly." Weiss said.

"Was that over a minute?" Ben asked.

"It was, actually. A little over two, close to three." Adrien remarked, looking at his phone.

More foot ninjas were incoming as a portal opened.

"Can't a turtle catch a break? At this rate, I'm gonna miss happy hour!" Mikey said.

"The portal's open for us to go back but, we can't just leave you guys here." Huey said.

"We've done this almost 200 times, plus a couple of crossover specials. We'll be fine." Raph said.

Several people were confused.

"Just get in the portal and go home."

"Raph's right. Go on ahead. We'll take things from here." Leonardo said.

"You heard the turtle. Let's go!" Bobo said before being the first to go in as Bren returned his Monsuno to their cores.

"Okay. Best of luck to you!" Rook said to the four.

"Best of luck? We're the color of luck dude." Mikey said before the five guests went into the portal, leaving the four mutant heroes to deal with the incoming ninjas once again.

The five were on the Aftermath set.

"Congratulations! You have passed the first stage with flying colors! Now it's time for the next team to see if they can do the same! I'm going to need Myron, Launch, Reagan, Ayame and Randy to step up and prepare for the first stage please." Chris announced before he opened a portal. "Good luck."

"It's a dude with a sandwich costume. If we lose a person here, disqualify us now." Randy said.

"Should I tell Chris to hold you to that?" Doyle asked.

"No! It was a joke! Don't do that! It was a joke, right?" Reagan quickly shouted out.

"Underestimating our opponents is not something we can afford to do. Let's finish this quickly." Myron said.

"Then, let's get moving." Good Launch declared before the five went in.

"Alright, so I was slightly over. Two minutes tops." Ben declared back at the Aftermath set.

"Can't argue with that. This'll probably be the easiest one." Rex said.

Becky B. could only sigh and roll her eyes in annoyance.

***Confessional***

Becky B.(Radical Rats):

"I really want to disagree with them but… it's Chuck. I give him two and a half at most. Maybe three if he takes advantage of them underestimating him, which I'm 99 percent certain they're going to do."

Breakers Stage 1: Fair City(WordGirl)

The five were seen in a busy city after going through the portal.

"Here in Fair City, five heroes are seen, all of which have unvoluntarily banded together for one goal: To win 10 million dollars! They've been, no pun intended, through adventures across the multiverse! And today, they have been thrown into our city to find and defeat one of WordGirl's supervillains! Chuck the Evil Sandwich Making Guy!" A narrator said.

"Wait, she's got a narrator? How come I don't have a narrator?" Randy commented. "So undeserving."

"Damn right about that. Imagine having Jerry as your narrator. Just keeps getting worse for you doesn't it kid?" Rick said to Becky B.

"I don't know who Jerry is, so I really can't comment." Becky B. said.

There was an awkward silence as some people gave the five a few strange looks, moreso because of the complete mismatch of outfits of the five.

"…The hell are you talking about?" Reagan asked Randy, sharing the confusion on her other three teammates' faces.

"Never mind. So where exactly do we find this dude?" Randy said.

"Uh….. that's a good question."

"Putting us into a large city with no sense of direction. Not smart at all." Myron said.

"Hmm… Okay yeah, he definitely a good point." Chris commented.

"You say this as you do nothing to fix it." Dan replied.

"At this point, why? And no, do not ask me to bring them back out or send someone in to help. I'm not doing it."

"This is when Fiona's satellite owl would come in handy. Or PEL and Tsukikage." Myron commented, thinking as he looked around the city.

"Or I don't know, a little device called a cell phone! Boom baby!" Randy said, on his phone. " 'Chuck the Evil Sandwich Making Guy's plans thwarted once again by the superhero WordGirl'." Randy recited, reading an article. " 'His latest plan: Threatening to crush a sandwich restaurant for having poor service with a large sandwich presser'. Okay, this guy sounds like more of a problem than I thought."

"Exactly like I thought." Becky B. said, referring to the fact of how they would underestimate him.

"Even so, we should use our speed and our numbers to our advantage. If we use that, getting past him before he does any of that shouldn't be too much of an issue." Myron said.

"I think I may have found him." Ayame said, referring to the commotion that was happening in one of the grocery stores nearby.

"And now, conveniently enough, Chuck is already up to another scheme! Can these five stop him, or will Chuck succeed in whatever his evil plans are?"

"Pfft, of course we can stop him. I don't even think I need to go ninja for this." Randy said confidently, waving off the narrator's comment.

"No one knows what you're talking about! Now let's go before he gets away!" Reagan said.

The five run to the store in question and spot him taking several groceries.

"Hold it right there Chuck!" Myron called out.

"Ah! Word- wait a second, you're not WordGirl! Who the heck are you people?" Chuck asked, surprised. He was, as his name described, wore a large sandwich for a head, blue goggles and a yellow and blue costume with a black belt that had a sandwich for a buckle and a ketchup and mustard bottle on the right and left respectively.

"Doesn't matter. Just know that we're here to stop you from… stealing groceries? Dude, really? Stealing groceries. That has to be the lamest thing I have ever seen a supervillain do." Randy said.

"It's not lame! It's evil!" Chuck insisted.

"Yeah, no it's not."

"Yes it is!"

"Nope."

"Yes!"

"No."

"Yes!"

"Yes!"

"No!"

"Ha! I told you it wasn't evil!" Randy exclaimed, pointing at him.

"You got me with reverse psychology! Still though, there's nothing any of you can do stop me! So if you-"

"Excuse me sir are you going to pay for those?" The cashier asked Chuck.

"No I'm not going to pay for them! I literally just said I'm stealing them, so why would I pay for them?"

The cashier started to scan the items regardless.

"No! Stop scanning the items! Did you not hear me!?"

"That'll be $19.51 sir." The cashier said.

"Like I said, shoob status villain." Randy said.

"A what?" Chuck asked, confused.

"Shoob. Noob, lame. It means you're a lame villain."

"I've never heard of that word. I wish WordGirl was around to tell me an exact definition. S-see! The one time where I actually want her to be around to try and stop me she's not! You'll pay for this WordGirl!"

"Actually, you don't have to. Because it's not a real word. He just made it up for….. some reason." Reagan said.

"Oh. Wait, why are you making up words? Didn't go to school? Not getting an education is lame. Not stealing groceries, which is totally evil!"

"Dude, I go to school thank you very much. I'm in 9th grade. And second, when you're resorting to stealing twenty dollar groceries, that sounds like someone that lives with their parents and doesn't have a job or education." Randy said.

"Okay, that was really hurtful. What's wrong with living with my mom?"

"Okay, this is embarrassing." Jenny commented.

"Even so, that comment by Randy was kinda mean." Ruby R. said.

"Mean? Oh grow up! You should not be a grown adult, walking around in a sandwich costume, stealing groceries worth 20 dollars!" Dan said.

"To be fair, that was just what the cashier scanned only." Becky B. brought up.

"Who cares! It's still stupid!"

"Just like making a list for people that wronged you isn't stupid, right?" Noah asked.

"So you're telling me you wouldn't be upset if someone scratched your car?" Dan asked.

"Well of course I'd be upset. But some of the other things you've had on that list just don't make any sense. Dust. You have dust on a revenge list. I want you to think about that for a second."

"Okay. You're point?"

"My point is it's stupid."

"What's stupid is the conversation those five are having. Why are they wasting time instead of getting rid of this idiot?" Albedo remarked.

"Yeah, I think it's already about to be over two minutes." Rex said.

"Wow. Unbelievable." Sly commented.

"Look at this! What are they doing now!?" Ben asked in disbelief as the cashier was scanning the groceries.

"You're total is $114.05." The cashier said.

"See? For all of this! Do you see now that all of this is….. oh ya know….. what's the word?" Chuck said, now thinking.

"Too expensive?" Ayame offered.

"No! No! Word! It's a single word! Listen!"

"Overpriced?" Myron offered.

"Yes! Yes that's it! You're a smart kid. Thank you! Say, you're not WordGirl in disguise are you?"

"Uh, no?"

"So are you like her brother or cousin or…."

"I'm not related to her at all. Sorry."

"Quick! Give me the definition of… hmm, what's a big word that I don't know the meaning of off the top of my head….."

"Are we really just going to let him do this?" Good Launch whispered to Reagan.

"Eh, I'd say let him have it. It's only fair. Besides, it's not like he's evil enough to be a threat anyways." Reagan replied.

"I got one! Deceived!"

"Deceived means to cause someone to believe in something that is not actually true. Like for example, you may have been deceived to believe the price for the groceries was lower than what you were actually given here."

"You sure you're not related to her?" Chuck asked suspiciously.

"No. I'm not."

"Okay….well still. Thanks for the definition, 'cause that's exactly happened to me! I thought WordGirl was going to be here to stop me and I was deceived! And now, just for that, I'm going to continue to steal these overpriced groceries and get even more, and there's nothing you can do to stop me!"

"Okay, I'll admit that this is kind of overpriced but that doesn't justify you stealing it." Reagan said.

"Even so, I don't care! Now this is your last warning! Stay out of my way or I'll have no choice but to make you move!"

"You'll do what? Shoot us with your ketchup and mustard? Hold on a second, let me get some hot dog wieners and then you can….. never mind." Randy said before stopping himself.

Out of nowhere, Ayame kicked him, causing him to get sent into one of the aisle rows.

"Sorry. It's nothing personal, but I think we've wasted enough time already. As dumb of a reason this is." Ayame said.

"That was a cheap shot! Now you're gonna pay!" Chuck declared before loading the peanuts that he had stole into a red blaster that he pulled out before firing it at Ayame who dodged the shots.

"Darn it! Stand still!" Chuck said, annoyed.

Before he could even shoot another shot, the blaster was knocked out of his hand by Slazor.

"No! My Peanut Butter Blaster! Those Peanuts weren't cheap ya know."

"You say that as if you actually paid for them." Myron remarked in a deadpan tone.

"Oh. Right. Just comes natural you know? But anyways….Other than this, how are you guys doing today?"

"What? Dude, we're in the middle of a fight. How are you just going to-" Randy started before being hit by several condiments and being stuck to a wall.

"Okay. Didn't see that coming."

"Because one, you're being rude for not answering my question. And two, it was to fool you!" Chuck said before laughing. "Oh Hatchet!"

Chef suddenly appeared with his own food-based weapons in hand.

"Chef!?" Several people, from the five to the spectators all said simultaneously.

"Now you're gonna pay. Should have took him out when ya had the chance!" Chef said before shooting cluster pizza rockets.

Reagan blocked the rockets with the glove that she took with her, using the shield function. Thought the tomato sauce explosion caused her to go flying back.

"Okay. That has no business having that much impact." Reagan said on the ground.

"Wait, why is Chef there? No one did that for Bebop and Rocksteady! I say this is rigged. And I really do mean it this time." Blaineley called out.

"Nope. Actually, we did. Remember those upgraded weapons? And the weapon that Bebop and Rocksteady was about to fire? All of those were upgrades provided by Heloise, AKA, an anonymous benefactor." Chris said.

"Giving these sad sacks help to try to make this more of a fair fight? On hand, I disagree. But on the other, it keeps us on our toes. I suppose I can partially respect it." Skipper said.

"Even with this help, they have no business having trouble against them. And if that's the case, then they have no chance to win against tougher opponents." Paul commented.

"Exactly. This is only the first stage. There's no reason for them to be wasting time struggling against someone as weak as him." Shiro said.

"And now because they have, they might legitimately have a fight on their hands." Mr. Wolf commented, referring to how the store was now becoming a war zone, with Chuck and Chef firing at them with food-based artillery.

"Who knew food could be this deadly? I thought the soda stuff Shaxx did was crazy." Zee remarked. "Honestly, this Chuck guy's kinda cool."

"Yeah, no he's not." Toxsa said.

"Regardless though, I told you that he wasn't to be underestimated, even if he definitely isn't the strongest out of my villains." Becky B. said.

Focusing back on the fight, Ayame threw several kunai at Chuck only for him to counter back with pickle shuriken.

"No way, you've got condiment-based weapons too? Okay, I have to admit, that's kinda bruce." Randy said, agilely dodging the attacks that Chef sent at them via hot gumbo and throwing back kunai that Ayame gave him.

"Now you're using words wrong! Bruce is a name!" Chuck called out, being frustrated at Randy's "lingo" before turning up the power on his Condiment Ray.

"This guy's got one heck of a temper on him." Kise commented.

"Yeah. He'd fit right in here it seems." Adrien joked.

"When it comes to that idiot's misuse of language, it's understandable why he'd get frustrated." Albedo said.

"But it's nothing to get mad over. That's just too much. Even if I do think it's dumb." Becky B. said.

Just as Reagan was about to punch him, he blocked the attack with a piece of meat.

"Ha! Meat shield! You know how they always-" Chuck started before Reagan interrupted him.

"Yes! Yes! I get it! Meat shield!" Reagan said, annoyed.

"Well, sorr-y. Who woke up on the wrong side of the bed this morning?" Chuck remarked before he suddenly punched back with a condiment infused fist that she ducked under.

"Actually, I've been taking Doyle's advice on getting more sleep. And I've been feeling a whole lot better. And more productive." Reagan answered as the two exchanged punches. "I'm just frustrated because instead of moving on in like two minutes, we're stuck here, having to fight a guy in a sandwich costume!" She said, putting a lot of anger into her last punch, but missed, allowing him to counter and knock her over to self-checkout.

"Sounds like a personal problem to me! All you had to do was mind your own business!"

"It's not like we had a choice." Reagan said, getting up.

"Yeah, sure you didn't."

"We didn't! Look, it's a long story, but, we're on some game show and our job was to actually find and beat you."

"Oh. A game show? Am I being recorded?"

"Uh….. I don't know. Probably?"

"That's really cool! I always wanted to be on TV! Is it fun? What do you do on this show?"

"Honestly, it depends on the-" Reagan started before Randy kicked him in the chest.

"Thanks for the distraction!" Randy said, giving a thumbs up.

"You were using small talk as a diversion!?" Chuck said, voice rising in anger.

"What? No! I never told him to-" Reagan started before Chuck interrupted her.

"Okay then! You wanted to see evil! I'll show you evil!" Chuck said, sounding genuinely angry, turning up a dial on his arm up to the maximum setting. "Check out these upgrades from an anonymous benefactor! They're actually nice! Unlike you!" He had a condiment-infused fist and a rifle before shooting a powerful condiment laser at her that she dodged. She was lucky, but the objects that were behind her weren't as it burned a hole through them.

"You gave him upgrades!?" Becky B. said to Chris.

"Again, all they had to do was take care of him and they wouldn't have to deal with this. You should be happy." Chris said.

"Yeah, but when Chuck is genuinely mad, he could legitimately be a danger to people! And now you gave him the means to actually be dangerous!"

Launch and Chef were continuing to battle each other in a battle of weapons, using the store as cover.

"You know, keep this up and you might be just as good as Izzy!" Chef called out.

"I don't know who you're talkin' about, but you're still goin' down!" Bad Launch said, switching after sniffing a bottle of open hot sauce that messed with her nose.

"Hey Ayame! Myron! Why don't you use those abilities o' yours and end this before we mess around and actually lose someone!?" She called out.

"If I use one of Slazor's specials, I could end up destroying the store!" Myron said before being sent flying by a rocket.

"Ya never cared any other time when we trashed the other places we were in!" Launch called out, having to duck an errant blast from Chuck.

Ayame, already changed via her Power Stone, was still having trouble advancing on Chef or Chuck.

"I don't exactly have that many options either!" Ayame said.

"Stop makin' excuses and do somethin'! Figure it out!"

"Figure it out! That's it!" Myron said, thinking of an idea as he got up. "Slazor! Sensor on!"

The front of Slazor opened up a bit before the lights on the side that were similar to eyes lit up, indicating that it was performing a scan, scanning Chef and Chuck's weapons. Looking at the info on his wrist device, Myron's suspicions were confirmed.

"I thought so. All of this is electronic, despite it's appearance. Particularly Chuck's fist and his guns. Which means….. okay! Slazor! Circuit overload!"

Bright greenish-blue energy started to come from Slazor until it continued to grow, blinding everyone in the building.

"Now! Release!"

Suddenly, everyone's technology, with the exception of Slazor, had greenish-blue electricity surrounding it. Chef and Chuck tried to use their weapons but couldn't.

"What the- what's going on!?" Chuck said, trying to fire his weapons, including his Condiment Ray but couldn't.

"You can forget it! Your weapons are useless now!" Myron declared.

"Which means…. It's over for you!" Launch called out before shooting at them with her own machine guns, with Ayame also finishing the job by performing her Ultimate Cherry Blossoms attack on both before finishing by sending both of them through the roof of the store.

"I will have my revenge!" Chuck called out, in the air.

"Okay, I think that should be more than enough, especially considering what happened to their weapons." Chris said before a portal opened in the store.

"Thank God! We're done!" Reagan said in relief.

"That took way longer than it should have." Randy said.

"For once, you're talkin' my language."

"Sorry about your store!" Ayame called out, as she reverted to normal.

"They'll be fine. I'm sure they got more than enough money to fix it up. Let's go!" Launch said before prodding her forward along with Myron.

Returning back to the set, Doyle congratulated them before the Rats were sent in next.

"Good luck!" Doyle called out.

"EMP Burst. Pretty resourceful kid. Nice." Doyle said.

"Yeah. That was a sweet idea." Reagan said before looking at her glove. "At the cost of this. Don't think we'll be able to use this anytime soon at the moment. Good thing I have a couple more."

"Something that was almost too little, too late. Why didn't you do that earlier?" Launch asked Myron.

"Because, I wasn't sure if that was going to work. I've only ever used something like that once before. And that was to stop the combination of Jape's Dynamite Explosion and Scorvilain's sand tornado attacks when they clashed. If I didn't come up with something my machine would have been torn apart. So I used Slazor's energy as a mediator to cancel them-"

"Enough with the science talk. Get to the point already." Launch said impatiently.

"To keep things short, I used Slazor's scanning ability to check Chuck's weapons and Chef's. And my suspicions were confirmed. They were all electronic. There was no other explanation for why weapons like that could be that powerful, including Chef's. So that's when I decided to overclock the sensors and release the energy, creating an electromagnetic pulse that disabled electronics."

"That is incredible! A pocket EMP! Are you sure these things were just designed for racing in mind?" Reagan asked.

"I'm positive. But the functions of them for battles, as seen in some races, and in here can't be denied."

***Confessional***

Reagan(Wave Breakers):

"For something that was supposed to be designed for racing, what I've seen these things do have been far more fascinating to me than the Pokemon or Monsuno. Moreso because of the multiple functions of each. I just have to know. Who designed them and why? What made them think of these abilities? How do you learn what they can do? If I were to ever meet their creator, I'd have to shake their hand."

Rats Stage 1: Benham City(Tenkai Knights)

The five were already in the city searching for Granox and Slyger in the city, where a large upside-down obelisk-like structure could be seen, which was the city's famous landmark, Benham Tower.

"Great. Looks like we're in the same situation as the last team. In a large city with no sense of direction or where to go." Bennett said.

"This wasn't planned out to well at all." Cicini said.

"The thing is, I don't even know if these guys even know that we're looking for them. Because it sure as heck didn't seem like Chuck, Bebop or Rocksteady knew." Axl said.

"But they did know about the fact that they were being given help. And the turtles already had extra hoverboards as if they were expecting help." Tangle pointed out.

"And that's probably as far as it went. Come on, we're not gonna get anywhere just talking about it." Rick said.

"Not that it matters since we don't have a way to talk to them, but what exactly are Granox and Slyger like?" Kurt asked Toxsa as the five continued to explore the city for any trace or hint of where the pair were.

"Personality wise? Eh, they're pretty pathetic. But loyal to Vilius to the end. Out of all the level 1 guys, you all have the hardest path. At least in terms of overall power. But still, it's level 1 for a reason. Unless you're on hard mode, you're not supposed to die on level 1 if you have even a slight idea of what you're doing. Especially since it looks like you're gonna be facing them on our home turf instead of theirs on Quarton. So as long as you guys don't mess around, you'll be fine. Heck, they might even take themselves out, knowing those two."

"That would put me at ease but…." Kurt started.

"After what we saw from Chuck, if Toxsa's to be believed, I'm genuinely concerned now." Lanolin said, a worried look on her face as she watched her team.

"And also, I just thought of something." Toxsa started.

"Looks like more bad news." Adrien said.

"Not bad news. At least I hope anyway. Just a thought. If they're in our city, then that means Guren and the others might be in trouble with those two out and about again." He went to call Chooki first via the communicator on his wrist. "Come on pick up….." No one answered after several seconds.

"Great. He's not answering. Must be busy. Okay, let's try Guren next."

"Looks like they found them." Asta said.

"Or, they've found them." Kageyama said.

"Uh, that's what I said."

"No I mean Granox and Slyger found those five."

"Ohh. I got confused. Sorry."

Guren picked up. "Hello?"

"Hey Guren, you haven't come across Granox and Slyger have you?"

"Uh no. Why? They're not there are they? Sorry I haven't been watching the past couple episodes. Been busy."

"No they're not here. And what do you mean you haven't been watching? Are you freaking kidding me man? Did you at least watch the Mayhem episode? I totally kicked Tenkai butt-"

"Look, we can get to that later. If something's going on with those two you need to let me and the others know so we can send them back ASAP."

"Looking for us? Because we see you." A voice said on Cicini's earpiece.

"Wh-who is this?" Cicini asked.

"Just be on the lookout. Got some uh….. acquaintances in the city. One's a doctor, a lemur, and an old man so they shouldn't be hard to miss." Toxsa said to Guren.

"Okay. I'll be sure to keep a lookout. Until then, let's try to reach out to Ceylan and Chooki too."

"Only problem is Chooki's not answering. Hopefully it's just 'cause he's busy."

"Hope so. Thanks. Contact me if there's any updates."

"Aye aye."

"Cicini? Who is that?" Axl asked.

"Oh. You don't recognize me. Well let me give you a hint. What's six letters and rhymes with rocks?" The voice said as Cicini took the earpiece from out of her ear and adjusted the volume high enough for everyone to hear.

"You're giving us riddles, maybe you should spend more time getting better quality." Bennett said, receiving messages of pictures of them exploring the city on his tablet from the mysterious caller.

"It's good enough for my optics! Everyone's a critic! Now answer my question! What's six letters and rhymes with rocks?"

"Don't you mean riddle?"

"Enough with the riddles! Who is this!?" Tangle snapped, annoyed with the back and forth the two were having.

"S[censored]! Anything with communication smash it now!" Rick suddenly declared.

"What? Are you crazy?"

"If you don't wanna be found and ambushed, you'll listen to what I'm saying now!" Rick said, crushing and smashing some of his own electronics.

"Hello? Anyone gonna answer my riddle? Anyone? Ya stomped?" The voice asked but went ignored. "You guys still there?"

"Yeah, the answer is 1-800 f[censored] you." Rick said before smashing the cell phone he had as well.

"Wait! That's not right! That's multiple words! And none of them are six!" Though half of this wasn't heard by the five.

"I hate to say it but Rick had the right call. I'm willing to bet that was Granox and Slyger. They hacked our communications." Bennett said.

"Meaning that Chris probably tipped them off." Axl said.

"Maybe. Seems like the only thing that would make sense. 'Cause there's no way any of the stuff I have should have been hackable but it was." Rick said.

"Regardless, we need to keep a close look out of our surroundings. They know we're here now so we've lost any element of surprise.." Cicini said before a car suddenly came at them along with several lasers afterwards, causing the five to scatter.

"Here's Granox!" The first voice, which was the voice from earlier said, being the source of the car throw.

"No need." Another voice said, behind them, who was the source of the lasers.

"And for the record, the answer was Granox! Get it? Granox rocks!" The first voice, who was Granox said, laughing afterwards. Both of the assailants were in suits, brown gloves, black fedoras and glasses as if they were this universes' versions of the Men in Black. Or working for the CIA. Or at least the evil ones.

"I've got another one for you! What's six letters and rhymes with surprise?" The second voice, Slyger, who had a slimmer build than Granox and had a purple head compared to his dark gray. He also had a laser cannon on his shoulder.

But they wouldn't get to hear the answer as both were immediately grabbed by Tangle and sent flying with her tail.

"NO FAIR!" Granox shouted.

"YOU CHEATED!" Slyger called out before they were both hit by rocket shots from Axl and lasers from Rick. As they flew, their hats and glasses came off, revealing the fact that they were actually robots.

"Rich coming from the pair that threw a car and shot lasers at us." Axl said, putting his weapon away.

"That's how it's supposed to be! Take notes Reagan!" Rick said, putting the weapon away.

"Like I said, all they had to do was not mess around." Toxsa commented before contacting Guren. "Well, better tell Guren to watch out for a pair of robo-noobs." He then looks up and was surprised by the portal opening.

"That's it?"

"You acted as if they were done. They are done, right?" Jenny asked.

"Usually, we have this little device that makes them go back to Quarton. But that's because we don't have any other ways to really defend ourselves and deal with 'em on Earth. But with them, I guess it makes sense why it'd be over like that." He said as the five came back. Unbeknownst to any of them, someone was watching them and Slyger and Granox as they were hit by the rockets. Because of how dark the area it was they were in, the only thing that could be made out was that they had spiky hair. They walked away, hands in their pockets as the portal closed.

"Congrats! Everyone got through the first stage unscathed! Nice! Now for stage two! And since they seemed to have gotten through this one with no trouble, we're gonna send these five right back into the action!" Chris announced. "So, hope you're ready!"

"Wait, we didn't even get to get new communications!" Bennett said.

"Fine. But make it quick." Chris said.

After quickly swapping things out, the five were ready for battle again, heading inside the portal.

Rats Stage 2: Noah's Park(Mega Man X8)

The five were dopped down into what seemed to have been some type of jungle.

"I recognize this place from anywhere. And if we're here….." Axl started before someone was heard attempting to reach him on the communicators on his ears.

"Axl! Can you hear me?" Alia, the blonde navigator for the Maverick Hunters asked.

"Loud and clear. Good to hear your voice again." Axl said, smiling as he said this.

"Then you'll be even more glad to hear mine I hope." Pallette, Axl's navigator contemporary added, also on the line.

"Nah. Where's Layer?"

Ignoring Axl's last comment, as she already knew it was a joke, Pallette began to explain the situation to Axl.

"I'm sure you've already recognized this place already. Well if you have, then I'm also sure you know what you're here to do."

"Take out some mavericks." Axl said, taking out pistols.

"Also, I should now be able to communicate with you and the others. At least those that are capable of hearing me. Can anyone else on your team confirm?" Alia asked.

"I can confirm. Glad you're here to help us." Cicini said.

"Same here." Bennett added.

"Great. Now I wish I would have gotten one." Tangle said before Axl handed her one of the radios from off his ear.

"It's not much since it is one side, but it should help." Axl said.

"Thanks. I'll make sure not to lose it." Tangle said before putting the radio in a safe place.

"Alright, same plan. Take out whoever we need to take out then get the hell out of here." Rick said.

"You know this place better than us. It's a good idea for you to lead the way." Bennett said to Axl.

"Not a problem." Axl takes the lead out of the five and begins his advance.

Mega Man X8 OST- Noah's Park Plays

"So Axl's the star of the show here huh?" Zero commented. "Let's hope he can handle it. Even if it is on familiar territory."

"I've got faith he can. And if he does struggle, that's where the others come in to help him." X said.

They got through most of the jungle area with no enemies or obstacles in sight as four out of the five were already armed for battle. The odd man out being Bennett. Seeing this, Rick decided to hand him one of his weapons.

"Here. You're the only one unarmed." Rick said, handing him the rifle.

Bennett thought about not taking it from him but decided against it. "Don't expect to get a thank you."

"Trust me, I'm not going to be up at night thinking about whether you said thanks to me or not."

"I don't get it. What's his problem with Rick? He's been the only that he seems to have had any type of issue with as of recently." Kise asked.

"I'd say it's his attitude. We talked to Bennett about it a while back after the first racing challenge. Bennett believed it was Rick and his older self's fault for why neither could come together for a solution to help Natsu. And while he has moved past that, it's moreso how Rick has been after the fact." Jenny explained.

"That's just how he is at times. He's not exactly an in your face nice guy. Not saying I agree with everything he does, 'cause I don't. But at the same time, it's not like he hasn't helped." Morty said.

"That's true. I just hope he learns to see that. Eventually, you've got to let it go. But with how Bennett is when it comes to his stubbornness, it's not going to be easy." Jenny said.

"Have you guys tried talking to him?" Kagami asked.

"I think Cicini has. Kuroko looks like he's had an impact on him too before he left. But that's about it. At this point, talking to him isn't going to do anything if he's still not going to change. He's going to have to figure it out himself." Rally said.

Soon enough, their first obstacle arrived. In the form of a large blue robot shaped like an insect.

"Bee Blader! Focus your attacks on it before it fires its weapons!" Axl called out as he aimed his pistols at it with everyone else, with the exception of Tangle, who preferred to fight with her tail instead, also focusing their attacks on it.

Although it attempted to fire back from its stingers at the ground, it was destroyed before it could get a single missile off, which was its secondary weapon along with the lasers.

"Nice work. No other enemies to report in the area. Proceed ahead." Alia informed them.

Advancing forward, they came across a gap in the land.

"This is the only path available to proceed ahead everyone. You'll need to figure out a way over this gap. Hovering is recommended." Pallette said.

"And what about the people that don't have that?" Bennett asked, referring more to himself than anyone else.

"All aboard the Tangle express!" She grabbed ahold of Bennett before extending her tail long enough for him to be dropped down on the other side. "Anyone else?"

"I would try to jump but….." Cicini began.

"Say no more!" Tangle also brought her across as well.

"Don't need it." Rick said before using the rockets he had on his shoes to get him across.

Axl hovered across with Tangle moving back to gain momentum and speed before jumping across herself and grabbing onto a tree with her tail just in case.

On the other side, more mavericks awaited them, from bat-like mavericks to insect-like mavericks such as the Amenhopper, a grasshopper-like robot, worms, and even axe-carrying lumberjack robots that would regenerating log pieces at them. Outside of the Bustards which would send missiles at them, they didn't have much trouble in dispatching them.

They got to a door that opened, revealing a cave on the other side.

"Anything to expect here?" Cicini asked Axl.

"I would say yes, but that's a question Alia might be able to answer better than me in this case." Axl answered.

"No enemies to report so far. But I would still suggest you proceed with caution. I'm still detecting Maverick presence in the area overall." Alia answered.

Not too long afterwards, when they descended into in front of a waterfall, a large dark red robot was seen behind it before it revealed itself.

"Well this is new." Axl commented.

"This is a Mechaniloid. Its armor is too strong to be harmed anywhere else but the head. Focus your fire there." Layer, a third navigator informed, now on the comms as well.

"CF-0 Mechaniloid? I thought those were retired when the last factory was raided." Zero commented.

"They're supposed to be. Only one was ever known to be finished. The rest never even saw the light of day. At least that's what I thought." X said.

The large robot towered over all of them, jumping before landing back on the ground, attempting to stomp the five.

"Woah!" Tangle said, barely dodging one of the feet.

It then tried to punch them with the now spike-balled arm.

"Just use your speed! It can't keep up with all of us." Cicini said.

"Hard to do that we're in such a confined space like this." Bennett said, avoiding one of its spiked feet as it walked to the left and attempting to fire at its head, only for it to turn the other way, rendering the attack useless.

"I think it's time for the heavy artillery!" Axl called out before switching weapons, choosing a handgun and then firing a circular energy projectile that left a trail of various colors like a rainbow, bouncing off the walls and then hitting the mechaniloid in the head with the two shots.

Rick hovered in the air and fired at it but the shots seemingly had no effect. It suddenly swung one of its arms backwards, hitting him and knocking him down.

"Damn." Rick commented, getting up.

Bennett tried the same thing with his rifle to try and bounce it off a wall, only for it to not work and almost hit himself with it.

"Nice going. Unfortunately, that doesn't function the same way." Rick said to Bennett.

"Maybe worry about not getting knocked out before giving me advice that doesn't even make sense." Bennett said, avoiding the robot's left leg.

"The only fighting that should be happening should be against the robot that could kill us." Cicini called out as she fired several red projectiles from her ray gun that spread into larger projectiles, some of them hitting the head of the robot.

The second it jumped again, Tangle grabbed onto its leg and propelled herself upwards before attempting to attack it with a downwards kick, with it retaliating with a punch, sending her into a wall hard.

"Tangle!" Bennett called out as it turned to find a new target. "Axl, if you've got more of those shots, fire them!"

"Easier said than done when this thing keeps moving its head!" Axl said, continuing to try and bounce the Bound Blaster shots off the wall, with some of them being hit or miss. Literally.

"Then someone needs to distract it." Cicini said.

"Guess I'll do it." Rick said. "When he started attacking me, unload on it like it's Rambo."

"What?" Bennett asked, confused.

"Just shoot the damn thing!"

After it landed back on the ground from another high jump that shook the ground, Rick began to hover in the air again and began to fire at its head, causing it to slowly turn its head before attempting to hit him again.

Seeing that as the cue, with Rick dodging the punches that it threw, everyone did the best they could to fire at it, with Tangle even holding Bennett up with her tail for him to get a better angle at his head.

"Let's finish this!" Axl said before switching to the same rockets that he used against Granox and Slyger and sent three at it before its head blew off after the first one. The rest of its body began to slowly come apart before their eyes before the ground shook once again as its large and rotund body fell to the ground. The piece of the head that was left was now devoid of life as the yellow glow in the eye that was left died out.

"Nice work. Proceed ahead everyone!" Alia said.

"Well if there's one thing for certain, that was no Granox and Slyger." Axl commented.

Music Stops

An alarm sound was heard along with a WARNING alert as another portal opened.

"Well, looks like this is it." Tangle said.

"You guys better be ready. Don't need you dying out on me in the second stage." Rick said.

Playa De Los Losers(Total Drama Island)

The three were in front of a cottage.

Two figures jump down from above on the roof of said house. One wore a purple and pink catsuit with a spider-shaped pattern on the back. She also wore a black high-neck sleevless top underneath, black fingerless gloves with pink designs, and a black eyepatch with a magenta pattern on her left eye.

The second wore a red and black outfit that had an insignia that some veterans of the last multiversal season knew all two well.

"Took you long enough. Juri and I were starting to think those Mavericks took you out." The second person said.

"Oh yeah, the crazy fire b[censored]. The hell are you doing here?" Rick asked, being the only one out of the five participants to recognize the second person.

"Isn't it obvious Rick? Who else do you see here?" She replied. "Although I'm a bit disappointed that it's only fresh meat here. I was hoping for some more familiar faces." She remarked, looking at the other four.

"Personally, I like them fresh. That means no one else has had time with them to spoil 'em." The first person said.

"Well, least I can't say you couldn't find a friend." Rick remarked. "Don't think that's a compliment, because it's not."

"We don't want your compliments old man." Azula shot back.

"Your cries from pain will work just as well. If not more. Now, who wants to play?" Juri said, as a sadistic smile was on her face along with Azula's as both had a pink dagger in one of their hands as they both ran at the five with quick speed.

"Don't you know what happened the last time she was here? Why the hell would you bring her back!?" Rally asked Chris in disbelief as they began to battle.

"And bring in someone just like her it seems." Marinette remarked.

"Trust me, I'm fully aware. But I came to her with the offer to come back, even though the slots were full. When I told her what she could possibly be doing, along with telling her the person she'd be working with, I can't tell you how fast she accepted it." Chris said.

"That still doesn't make it any more justified. Nor is bringing in someone else just like her to help entice her."

"That second person you're referring to is Juri." Karin informed them.

"Oh yeah. You did say something about her before I think." Kaz recalled. "Who is she again?"

Karin sighed at how contradictory he was being. "If you need a refresher, Juri was the sadistic individual that I referred to before. Like me, she also practices martial arts. Though her style is different compared to mine or Yulaw's. She practice Taekwondo. Though as you can see with how she's fighting, her variant is very aggressive and chaotic. Though her aggressive is different than Yulaw's. If Azula is just as much of a match for her personality wise as I am hearing, then this battle won't be easy. Though admittedly, I've never seen her wield those daggers before."

"She may not have used 'em before, but I know those all too well…." Toxsa commented just as Bennett and Cicini were webbed up in purple webs and unable to move by Juri by one of said daggers.

"If you aren't gonna run, then this'll probably be the second-best thing for you. Now I suggest you close your eyes or look away. The adults need to attend to some business." Juri said before going to help out Azula against the remaining three.

Because of how quick the pair were, Tangle was unable to use her tail to attack them, less she risk it getting burned or grabbed. And Axl wasn't exactly having too much success in firing at the two either.

"What's the matter? Where is all that confidence you had a minute ago?" Azula said to Axl as she continuously attacked the young hunter from close range, mixing quick attacks from the dagger and firebending attacks.

"Layer! I could use some help! Give me some weaknesses! Something!" Axl said, on the verge of the little defenses he had being broken.

"I'm not familiar with Azula or Juri at all to give you anything at the moment. And the database doesn't provide me with anything either." Layer replied as he was sent flying by a burst of blue fire in his face.

"In other words, you're saying we're on our own." He inferred, on the ground.

"At the moment, yes. Both of their fighting styles are very aggressive and I'm having trouble pinpointing any holes in them."

"This fight is a complete mismatch." Yulaw commented.

"Yeah. In favor of those two. If they don't figure something out, they're going to be in trouble." Kagami said.

"Going to be? They already are. They're not giving them any room to operate. And Axl, despite his training, isn't by any means efficient in this type of close combat. This is all but over." Zero said, closing his eyes.

On cue, Rick and Tangle were both down with Tangle being webbed up by Juri.

"Crap." Rick said before coughing as he was clearly in pain. "Damn it."

"You know, I'm a little disappointed. When Azula talked about you, she said you guys were pretty tough. So I thought this was going to be fun. But unfortunately, you're not. And that doesn't satisfy me at all. In fact, it ticks me off!" Juri said, a sudden flash of anger on her face as a purple light suddenly shone where her eyepatch was, indicating that she was about to show the might of the Feng Shui Engine off on two unlucky souls right in front of her. In the blink of an eye, she was about to attack Rick only to be stopped by a fire-fisted punch from Natsu, sending her crashing through the cottage.

"Hey fire lady!" Natsu called out, causing Azula to turn away from the downed Axl.

"You wanted a challenge? You got one!" Natsu said, grinning.

"Hmm… I don't seem to recognize you either. Words cannot express how disappointed I am in only being able to see that old man. Though I suppose that'll be something I need to talk to Chris abo-" She started before she was blown away by several punches from the Fire Mage.

"Sorry for that surprise attack. I don't exactly have much time so I gotta wrap this up quick!"

"Oh? Leaving so soon?" Juri said, recovering.

"You have nothing to apologize for. You attacked when there's an opening. Given the chance I would have done the same thing so I don't hate you for that." Azula said, also recovered from the blow she took. "What I do have a problem with is you thinking you can just win that easily!"

"We're not through yet!" Azula and Juri shouted simultaneously before running at him, forcing him to have go on defense, something that he looked to have been more than capable of doing.

"Well? Are you going to keep us waiting? Fight back!" Juri called out.

Seconds later, both were shocked. And the source wasn't from Natsu. They both literally felt a sensation of electricity.

"Who did that? I'll make you pay for that tenfold!" Juri looked around for the assailant but found no one. She did find a blue robot that wasn't there before with an electric barrier around it. Interestingly enough, Axl was nowhere to be found.

"Well? What are you waiting for? How about you stop attacking us and help us finish them off!" Azula commanded the Maverick.

This gave Natsu and Rick the chance they needed to attack and finish Juri. Though Azula wasn't done.

"If electricity is what you want, then so be it! You go first old man!" She bends lightning at Rick with him rolling out of the way to barely dodge it which only aggravated her.

"Fine then! If you won't go first….. then she will! Meet your demise!" She sent lightning Tangle's way, who was still in the webs. She closed her eyes and looked away, bracing herself for the impact but it was someone else that took the attack.

Natsu stood still as blue lightning surrounded his body as Azula went from surprised to a sinister grin.

"So you decided to jump in front of it like a fool. I hope you realize that this doesn't change a thing with what'll happen to her. But I suppose you were too stupid to realize that. I'm disappointed. I really thought you would have been smarter than that. Oh well." Azula said.

"He took that attack!?" Rei commented.

"Damn. He can take fire but he can't take lightning. He might be done for…." Kagami commented.

"Look harder mr. and mrs. hotheads." Hiruma said, a smirk on his face.

"Mr. and Mrs.? Gimme a break. We're not married." Kagami said annoyed, unable to hide his embarrassment from that statement.

"Y-yeah. That's a little too much." Rei added. Although she was secretly embracing the titles a lot more than he was.

"Fool? Looks like you're the one that's got a lot to learn lady." Natsu said which caused Azula's grin to slowly disappear.

"Hope you prefer a hands-on approach 'cause here's your first lesson!" He threw out a lightning infused punch but it missed. Though she wouldn't have time to retaliate as she was hit by a log.

"Next time you got a chance to take me out, you better take it you overconfident b[censored]." Rick said, now standing over her before charging a blast to her face, only for her to be shocked again, this time enough to render her unconscious. Afterwards, a portal opened with Juri and Azula suddenly disappearing. Natsu as well.

"Guess that's it." Axl said after changing back from the lumberjack robot to normal.

"That's your shapeshifting? How come you waited to do that now?" Tangle asked.

"Think I've already explained this before but just like Kise, my copying has its limits. I can only actually copy Reploids that are similar to my size. Anyone bigger or smaller than me are a no-go. Doesn't mean I can't benefit from some of them though. And even then, I had to hope it would work in fooling them. I couldn't make it obvious I could do that. And besides, every other situation so far in the season, my guns have been more useful." Axl explained as he and Rick tried to get their three teammates free from the webs but were unsuccessful.

"The hell are these things made of?" Rick asked as none of the gadgets he had, including freezing the webs, were able to get them off.

"Just as I thought. They're gonna have to carry 'em back. None of that's gonna get those webs off." Toxsa said.

"You say you recognize those weapons. What do you know about them?" Karin asked.

"They belong to Beni. AKA Venetta. AKA the neutral party."

"Neutral. Guessing she's not friend or foe." Randy said.

"Honestly, it's complicated. Sometimes she's been a friend, sometimes she's been a foe. Sometimes she acts like she wants to join our side, other times she's got in our way and helped Vilius and the Corrupted get what they're after. At this point, I just want her to pick a side so I can know if I've got the green light to kick her butt or not. Say what you will about Gen, but at least he actually picked a side and stuck to it. She definitely strikes me as more free-for-all, not team deathmatch."

"Sheesh. I'd hate to see what she's like in relayshes. Hah! I got it! Bandwagon Beni! Totally adding that to my collection."

The five reappeared, with Axl and Rick dragging, or in Axl's case, carrying them, back.

"Alright, so with what I've got now, I've got no way to get this crap off. Give me a few minutes and I should have something." Rick said to the others on his team.

"Looks like Spider-Man might have some competition in the world's toughest webs." Kise joked.

"That dude's got nothing on webs from another planet." Toxsa said.

"Well, you might want to come up with something soon. You've got until you're called up again. If they're not ready to go before then, then those three are out." Chris said to Rick.

"Like I said, I should be done before then. Unless the other two teams blitz the hell out of whoever they've got to go against next." Rick said, already scanning the webs.

"Well, let's find out! Kings! You're up next!" Chris called out as the five from before went to the portal that opened.

"Still find it strange that they have those though….." Toxsa commented.

(Back at the cottage…..)

The daggers left there were teleported to someone that had pink hair after tapping something on her wrist. Her pink hair was the only thing that stood out as her clothes couldn't be seen due to the darkness in the room, the only exception being the computer they were in front of.

"And I thought they had them too." She said before sighing. "Well, looks like you won the bet Gen. I owe ya. Any favorite foods? Shoes?"

"I told you they wouldn't lose. It was too early for that to happen. And they wouldn't be foolish enough to take the assists to the grave." Gen said as they watched a replay of the fight that had just occurred back in a dark room where only the screen of a computer could be seen.

"Yeah. He just had to give them those help-me cards huh? Oh well. Guess this wasn't a complete waste of time though." Beni said, before smirking as she held up a USB drive that she unplugged from the computer.

"Yes. But something tells me that might not stop them either. It for sure didn't stop Guren and the rest of the Knights. But I suppose we'll see. Let's go Beni." Gen said before opening the door, revealing a bright white light.

"Come on, you gotta remember to log off duh." Beni said before logging out. "Don't want your files to be stolen. What if someone stole your homework answers?"

"Just make sure that data's all transferred and not corrupted due to your over eagerness. Otherwise, this'll all be for nothing."

"I checked. Jeez, have some faith in me. You'd think I'd be saying that to you when I've gotten things done a lot more compared to you."

Gen could only sigh and close his eyes. "Just hurry up."

"Of course your knightliness." Beni said, running to catch up to Gen.

"Don't call me that. Please." He said as he closed the door and prepared to go to what seemed like some sort of teleporter.

"Well, technically you are one."

"Still. Don't."

A bright yellow beam went over them before they disappeared.

Elsewhere, on a distant cube-shaped planet

Light was almost nowhere to be found except for a dim red light over a tall throne where a figure with red eyes could be seen in red, yellow and black armor with bat-like wings on the back. A red and black trident was held by him as well.

"Let me confirm this again. Not only did you fail to even find the Tenkai Knights, but you were defeated by humans that you were never even instructed to search for!?" The figure asked with rising anger. His anger was being directed at Granox and Slyger, who were now in their true forms rather than the ones they had on Earth.

"I-it was Granox's fault sir! He got the wrong information!" Slyger quickly said.

"What!? You went along with it! Doing riddles and everything!" Granox said to Slyger.

"Still, it's your fault!"

"ENOUGH!" A trident slam was heard before they were both zapped.

"Ow! Ow! Oh! Ow! Ah! We're sorry!" Both Slyger and Granox shouted, being zapped as they were moving around in a rather comedic fashion.

"Please forgive me Lord Vilius!" Granox pleaded, bowing.

"The time to beg for forgiveness is long gone. Considering your history of failures, begging now only makes you look even more pathetic than you do now!" Vilius said. "Now stand up!"

"Y-yes!"

"Now then, one of the Dragon Cubes has been discovered by our forces. I want you two to lead the escort."

"What's Dromus doing? N-not that I'm not interested in carrying out the mission you have given us sir-" Granox started before being hit again.

"How dare you protest Lord Vilius' orders that he has graciously provided us! Fool!" Slyger scolded before kicking him.

"Silence! Even if you don't say it out loud, your disappointment in being assigned this mission shows in other ways. So let me refresh your memory. The Tenkai Dragon Cubes are what is needed to revive the Tenkai Dragon. Without that Dragon, my conquest of Quarton, Earth and beyond will not be complete. Hence why I am almost certain that the Knights may accompany Corekai forces to intercept the delivery. We cannot lose this cube! Fail me and there will be severe consequences! DO YOU UNDERSTAND!?"

"Yes sir! As Vilius commands!" Slyger and Granox bow before leaving.

"Although, if Dromus' plan works as he described, the Knights may not make it there at all." Vilgax said to himself before laughing.

Back at the Aftermath set, Guren was calling Toxsa back.

"Huh. Pretty convenient." He said before answering. "What's up?"

"Hey, so Ceylan, Chooki and I looked around the city and looked on the news. I even asked my dad if he noticed any damage in the city, without telling him about us being Tenkai Knights of course."

"Come on man, at this rate, the Kings are gonna be done with the second stage." Toxsa said, wanting him to get to the point. As this was happening, the Kings were riding on hoverboards again, this time in a futuristic city that was oddly similar to 2105 New York.

"I'm getting to it. But we didn't find anything. No damage. No Granox and Slyger. Nothing."

"Anything about Beni? Just saw two girls using her daggers."

"Uh, I can try and ask Gen about it. But he didn't answer the last time I tried to call to ask him about Granox and Slyger."

"Well, I think we know what happened to him."

"What?"

"She kidnapped him and probably killed him."

"What? No she didn't. Beni isn't exactly an innocent person but she wouldn't do something like that. Both of them are friends."

"You say that when she literally tried blasting you in the face on Quarton to actually destroy you after she got you to befriend her."

"Look. I'm gonna call Gen again and see if he answers. After that, we'll go from there. Let's not go on these crazy theories and assumptions without concrete evidence."

"Alright, but don't come saying how much of a prophet I am when you come back."

"Whatever you say Toxsa. Just let me know if you see anything else. Later."

Guren was the first to hang up.

Kings Stage 2: 2105 New York(TMNT Fast Forward)

The five were continuing to trek across the highways of the city, with the five continuing to shoot the drones that came their way, while avoiding the cars and other obstacles that were blocking their path.

"So is this going to be a running theme with us? Because if so, I definitely don't mind." Huey commented as he continued to fire at the robots with the blaster that he acquired along with their hoverboards in a weapon cache that was waiting for them when they arrived, given to them by a mysterious man in a red cloak named Zixx. He also gave them a tracker for their next targets, something that Rook kept on him to make sure they were going in the right direction.

"I don't really care. What matters is that we get out of this in one piece." Mayuzumi said, using the same rifle that he had taken from one of the Foot Ninjas in the previous stage to shoot at the robots.

"Okay, I'll admit, this is cool, but man, why did it have to be New York again?" Bren remarked, ducking under a laser and shooting back, now having his own blue pistol to work with to fire at the drones, something else that he acquired as well from the cache.

"Less whinin' more shootin'!" Bobo called out.

They were directed downwards for a very large descent.

"I would suggest you all brace yourselves!" Rook called out before he was the first to take the sudden long descent, yelling as he did along with everyone else.

"What is it with me and dangerous high-speed stuff this season!?" Bren thought as he felt lightheaded from the vertical descent, which was way faster and a lot more sudden than what he experienced in the Storm Realm.

"I think I'm going to be sick!" Mayuzumi thought. "What kind of madman thinks of subjecting people to this?"

A portal opened a few seconds later, and all of them were somehow able to get through it in one piece.

They were on a rooftop at night. The circle below them with an "H" in the center of it indicated that they were on a heliport.

"Now they're in present day New York. Please tell me they aren't about to fight who I think they are." Doyle said to Chris.

"You'll see." Chris said.

"You mean you don't know? Aren't you guys like interns? You would think you'd know this stuff." Rex said.

"Yeah, but he kept this stuff under wraps from both of us. That way neither of us would accidentally spill the details." Doyle said.

"Truest me, if I knew who I was handing those weapons to, I wouldn't have made them. And I'm talking about Bebop and Rocksteady. An absolute waste of time and resources." Heloise said.

"Yeah, I figured as much. That was the point of me not telling you." Chris said to Heloise.

"Let's just hope these two are just as good as the last pair, or we're going to have a little talk about my contract." Heloise said, arms folded.

"Trust me, they are."

Two people were seen in an elevator as it opened as lightning struck overhead.

"Reveal yourselves! Now!" Rook called out. The pair stepped out of the elevator to do just that.

"Oh great. It's her. And… I don't know who that second person is." Heather said with distaste.

"Meet another returnee from Multiverse Edition! Heather Chandler! And her partner in crime, and another person from 1985 along with Marty, Biff Tannen!" Chris announced.

Biff had short brown hair and wore a silver jacket with a black collar and black cuffs over a white shirt along with wearing jeans and black tennis shoes. He had a bat in his hand, while Heather had a mallet.

Heather C. had a disgusted look on her face after seeing the pair.

"The hell's the matter with you?" Biff asked.

"I was expecting to see some familiar faces from last time. That's what Chris told me. Other than Bobo, Bren and Huey I don't know who any of these people are. And even then, I can't even say I really know them that well." Heather C. said.

"Sorry, ya lost me. Do I know you?" Bobo asked her, eyebrow raised.

"They don't even know who I am! Chris lied to me!"

"Actually, it wasn't a lie. I said some familiar faces would be here. But I never actually specified whether they'd be in the challenge or what team they'd be on because of the fact that you guys still had to choose paths." Chris said to everyone back on the set.

"Still pretty dishonest. Not like I really care though." Heloise said.

"Well, at the very least, I'll get to wail on these poor saps." Heather C. said, smiling, but still dissatisfied. "After this, Chris and I are going to have a talk."

"Yeah, you do that. After you wake up." Bobo said before targeting the two with his pistols, though Biff blocked the shots with his bat.

"Huh. Who knew this thing could work just as good as a sword. Just like the movies." Biff said. "Now let's see what else this bad guy can do."

"You mean 'bad boy'?" Heather C. corrected.

"Whatever. Same thing!" Biff said before the two began to attack the pair.

"Neo-Quickforce! Launch!" Bren called out. But it was too close for Heather to reach and she used her hammer to swing it away. "Oh no!"

"I've already had experience dealing with three just like you. And at least they actually look like they can handle themselves four-eyes." Heather C. said, hand on her hip.

"I say we go after him first. Reminds me way too much of that butthead wimp George. And I don't like it." Biff commented after ducking an attack from Rook who was using the sword feature on his Proto-Tool.

"As much as I'd love to agree with you, we need to go after the cat and the monkey first. They're the most dangerous." Heather said as she attempted to flatten Huey, who rolled out of the way.

"Really? You'd rather fight the stupid monkey and the weird blue dude over getting rid of the weakest dude first? You stupid?" Biff said, using his bat to swing back at Rook to try to get him off, causing the Plumber to actually sway back to avoid the sudden and wild swing before Rook jumped back.

"Are you? Without his little Monsuno, we don't have to worry about Bren. It's the others we need to get rid of! Think!"

Heather tried to attack Bobo but was starting to get aggravated from how both Huey and Bobo were able to evade her due to their size with Bobo actually jumping on top of her head and hitting her multiple times before she tried spinning to get him off.

"You do what you want. I'm goin' after four-eyes!" Biff said before Rook used the grappling feature to try and pull the bat away from him.

"What the hell!? Let go!"

"You….. first!" Rook countered, still trying to take it away from him. But Biff wasn't making it easy.

Heather, using one of the enhanced features of her mallet, actually attacked Rook from a distance with an energy ball after swinging it. Biff hurried to grab the bat back but it was taken by Mayuzumi who appeared out of nowhere.

"The hell did you come from?" Biff said before he was hit in the head. Before he could land another, Heather threw the mallet as if it was a boomerang before it returned back to her, causing him to be dizzy before he was on the verge of falling off the building. Rook quickly pulled him back in as he was on the ground, trying to get his bearings. But he was in no condition to continue(at least for the moment). The bar above him said otherwise.

Taking Biff's suggestion, they surrounded and overwhelmed Bren and Huey with their enhanced weapons, knocking them both off with Biff actually ruthlessly throwing Huey off.

"No!" Rook and Bobo called out.

"Told ya the wimps would be easier. The art of battle 101. Cut off the tail of the hydra first." Biff said.

"You mean the art of war 101. And it's cut off the head of the snake." Heather corrected as they took on the remaining two. Mayuzumi tried to regain consciousness but was still holding his head.

"And by the way, you're welcome." Heather C. said to Biff as she launched more energy balls that she created in front of her as if it was golf.

"Tch. Whatever. I had it." Biff said, taking his rifle from the still dazed misdirection user.

"Sure you did." Heather said, rolling her eyes. "Now maybe start using those new features in that bat again?"

"Huh? Oh yeah! Forgot about that!"

"God you are a dumba[censored]. Only thing that saves you is your slightly good looks."

"Slightly? You wearin' glasses 'cause you must be blind."

"That…. Makes no sense."

"I think I'm gonna be sick." Bobo said.

"Why? Are you still feeling the effects of the ride?" Rook asked as the two pairs regrouped.

"No you…. Oh.." Bobo said, shaking his head at how dense Rook was.

"You know what else doesn't make sense?" Biff asked Heather.

"God, what now?" Heather asked, annoyed.

"That!"

"Wha-" Heather was suddenly blasted by Neo-Quickforce, who was in the air.

"We'll see who's a wimp after this! Finish it!" Bren called out before another was unleashed.

But Biff had the dumbest idea in the world: Swing the bat back at the energy beam. Which….. actually worked?

"The hell!? There's no way that bulls[censored] actually worked!" Aomine commented in absolute disbelief.

"I don't even think that idiot even thought it would himself. Just look at his face." Alejandro said.

"Wow. That actually worked?" Heather and Biff said simultaneously before Biff quickly switched things up.

"And you said I was stupid." Biff said.

"You still are. But thank you." Heather C. said.

"Oh yeah? What's your number?"

"Are you fu-" A net caught both of them, the source being Razer.

"Biff! Use the bat and get us out of here!" Heather shouted, more as a command than anything else.

"I would, if I could actually move!" Biff said, his movements being restricted.

"You mean you could have did that the whole time… BUT YOU NEVER DID IT!?" Bobo yelled out, trying to contain his anger.

"I needed to wait for the perfect shot." Rook said.

"We coulda easily been falling ten plus stories! Heck, the kid got one of his Monsuno hurt."

"Don't worry, when they're in their cores, they work just like Pokemon. He'll be fine after a few minutes of rest. Isn't the right buddy? Neo-Quickforce! Return!" Bren returned the Monsuno back to the core.

"Oh. Well still, we're not Monsuno. We could have died!"

"I apologize for not being to work quicker." Rook said.

"Yeah, you better be." Rook said before a portal opened for them to go in.

"So how's about that number?" Biff asked. "Bet you're the catch at school huh?"

"Oh, so you noticed. Maybe you're not as dumb as you look." Heather C. said, readily accepting the compliment. "But still, GET ME OUT OF HERE!" Heather yelled.

"So that's a yeah?"

"NO!" Heather yelled before they disappeared too.

"Heh. They're like Heather and Alejandro if they were dysfunctional." Ben said.

"Don't ever compare those two to us." Heather said, giving Ben a death glare which would have been her grabbing his shirt if he wasn't sitting out of reach.

"Respectfully, Biff doesn't seem to be too bright." Alejandro said.

"Alright! Round's over! So how Mayuzumi feeling?" Chris asked.

"I'm…. fine." Mayuzumi said, still holding his head.

"You got hit by that pretty hard. I'd say you need to rest." Huey suggested.

"I already told you. I'm fine."

"We didn't let Cameron continue when he was still injured. So what makes you think we'll just let you do the same? And besides, you'll be even less useful the way you are now." Isagi remarked.

"Fine. Sub me out. I don't care." He said before walking away without saying another word back to spectate with the rest of his team.

"Well, that's it then! We have our first eliminated competitor. You've got until the next stage to choose your sub." Chris announced.

"Don't worry, you did pretty well. You'll get another chance." Akashi said to him in an attempt to encourage him.

"Too bad your definition of well isn't the same as theirs." Mayuzumi remarked with a twinge of attitude in his voice.

"He was just trying to cheer you up. There was no need for you to be rude about i-" Ruby R. remarked before Akashi stopped her.

"It's fine. I can understand why he'd be frustrated." Akashi said as he looked at him seemingly absorbing himself into his books again, though he could feel the frown and the frustration that came from him as he turned the pages compared to when he's always done it before.

Breakers Stage 2: Abandoned Film Lot(Total Drama Action)

"Wait a second, isn't this-" Ayame started before giant footsteps were heard as a large robot was seen towering above them.

"Nope, your eyes don't deceive you. This battle's going to take place here in the city set! Meet another veteran from out previous Multiversal season, Vicky!"

"Oh twerps! Ready to play?" Vicky bellowed from the giant robot.

"Isn't that the robot from the last season? The kungfubots?" Marinette asked.

"Yes! Yes it is! We allowed her to use it again for this challenge. As for you all, you'll get access to these!" Chris said, revealing more kungfubots for them as they scanned the five before they took a very similar appearance to the them.

"What the juice!? This….. is….. amazingly Bruce!" Randy said, hands on his face in awe.

"How? That looks nothing like you." Reagan remarked, referring to the ninja-like look Randy's had.

"Uh, well, still cool though. And besides, Ayame's doesn't look like her either. At least her regular self."

"At least that makes sense since that's her Power Change form."

***Confessional***

Randy(Wave Breakers):

"Nope. Still can't tell them anything about it, multiverse or not. What am I talking about? Can't tell you guys either. But I can tell you to sit back and watch some awesomeness."

***End Confessional***

***Confessional***

Ayame(Wave Breakers):

"I always had my suspicions that Randy was a ninja. How did I think of that? Some of his quick movements that he's shown off in some of these challenges. Either he's never talked about it or he wants to keep it a secret. Regardless, I won't say anything if he won't. After all, I didn't exactly want Falcon and the others to know that either before they found out themselves. I didn't exactly try to reveal myself here either for strategy reasons, but I'm sure most people figured it out by now."

***End Confessional***

The five were in their robots.

"Five on one? Give me a break." Randy remarked as his voice could be heard outside of the robot just like Vicky's could.

"Who told you that?" Chris said as more were revealed that were now beside Vicky.

"Meet my new boyfriend, Brad!" Vicky called out.

"You're goin' down Dillweeds!" Brad called out. He wore a gray t-shirt, yellow pants and green tennis shoes with spiked black hair.

"Time for me to embrace the dark side again." Doyle called out, also in a robot. "Fun fact, I used to work for Van Rook and go up against the Saturdays. Wasn't always considered to be a good guy."

One that looked similar to Cameron was also seen. "You guys missed me?"

"Wait, Cameron's in one of those? How? I thought he was-" Ben started before Chris answered for him.

"He's not actually there. He's controlling it. Admittedly, this wasn't my idea. It was Doyle's to give him a chance to compete and help his team win." Chris said.

"You know what? He really has earned my respect for that." Sly remarked.

"Step aside, for It is I, Bling Bling Boy, ready for battle!" Bling Bling Boy declared.

"AKA Eugene Hamilton!" Chris called out.

"That's Bling Bling Boy! Bling Bling Boy! Now start the battle already!"

"Well, let's not keep em waiting! As for you guys, whether you survive depends on whether your robot does. If it shuts down, you're done. Take out all five of these guys and you advance. Moves and how to control them are all accessible in front you along with how to use your Super Attacks. Got it? Great! Now let's get started! Fight!" Chris said.

Brad Buttowski(Kick Buttowski):

"So I met Vicky on an online dating site. We both had babysitting in our bios, how we're good with kids and how annoying our little siblings are. Met up and I got to see how diabolical she can be. And honestly, I think that's kinda hot. We both wanted to enter the show since I'm awesome, she's awesome, and she's got experience from the last season she was on. Neither of us could get in so this was the next best thing. And the best part is, we get to clobber these dorks and get some bonus dough if we do! And I get to show her how awesome the Bradster is! If only Kick were here." Brad said before laughing.

Brad then performs a fist pump before saying, "Yeah Brad!"

Doyle:

"I wanted to say 'like Gary' so bad after I said good guy. But I promised myself I'd take it easy on that and come up with some new material. Hammering away at the same joke over and over again gets stale after a while not gonna lie. Like we get it, Chris is a douchebag, everyone hates him, the Gary-verse has murders in it, Archer's a favorite, etcetera, etcetera. Gotta give it a rest at some point. Not this Chris. I'm talking about another one. Although this Chris isn't exactly a saint either. From what I've seen the only one that could actually be a nice person is in the Shadow World. If he even exists. And this is coming from the guy that gets paid by him mind you. And besides, I'm not gonna pretend that that's only been what Multiverse Madness has been about. Strange jokes aside at times, it's been solid. Same with Tyranny of the Masses. Though I heard that's been going through it when it comes to production recently."

***End Confessional***

It wasn't even a second before the first attack was thrown. And it wasn't a punch. It was a grenade from Doyle, forcing the five to have guard against it.

"Well, good news is, you don't have to worry about aiming. Pretend it's a video game. Oh wait…." Doyle remarked to Reagan, which only made her attack him and the others even harder.

"Crush these guys!" Reagan called out to her teammates.

"Loud and clear cap!" Randy said, moving forward as he swung the sword he had in his hand at the five. "Robo-ninja swing!" The sword was blocked by Bling Bling Boy who brought out a jewelry-encrusted shield.

"Robo-ninja overhead swing!"

Also blocked.

"Robo-ninja standing sweep!"

Dodged.

"Robo-ninja stop saying what you're going to do out loud dumba[censored]!" Reagan called out.

"Robo-ninja no need for the aggression there!" Randy called out.

"Robo-ninja how about less stupid talk and more actual fighting!" Bad Launch called out, shooting at Brad as he blocked the bullets.

"Robo-ninja how come you never had a problem with the others when they do it?" Randy said as he continued to put the pressure on the opposing five with his weaponized attacks.

"Robo-ninja shut up!" Brad yelled out before throwing out two hooks and an uppercut. The first being dodged and the next two being blocked by Ayame before she countered and knocked him down.

"Great. Now they got me doin' it." Brad said on the ground.

"Brad! Eat this losers!" Vicky called out, swinging out a mace that knocked down an unsuspecting Myron who was battling Cameron.

"Wow. Nice cheap shot." Ryoma said sarcastically.

"Robo-Ninja smoke bomb!" Randy called out before throwing out a red smoke bomb that disoriented the vision of everyone.

"You dummy! Now no one can see!" Reagan said, trying to find anyone.

"You may not be able to, but I can. Sensor on!" Myron called out. Using the special sensors added to his robot from Slazor, he was able to see through the smoke.

"It's payback time!" Myron called out before sending a hydro-blast Vicky's direction only for it to be blocked by Cameron who could also see through the smoke.

"Don't forget, you're not the only genius around here. I thought about disorientation too." Cameron called out.

"Maybe, but is yours resistant to this?" Myron called out before one of the arms changed into a lance like a swordfish as he attempted to hit Cameron right in the heart, but it was blocked by a sword.

"Maybe not, but swords definitely are!" Their clash would be interrupted by Randy who would attack from behind.

"Is that so huh? Then I think you're gonna hate what's gonna happen next!" Randy called out before he was knocked down by Doyle by a cross chop.

"Guess you're talking about yourself." Doyle said.

"A smoke bomb's kinda useless if everyone can just see through it!" Randy said.

"Well, how about these?" Ayame called out before throwing several kunai, which hit Doyle and Heloise in the chest.

"Yeah, those don't work either." Doyle said, taking them out of his robot arm.

The smoke bomb cleared and the fighting continued with eventually, most of their supers were charged and available to use as they were seen in a montage, oddly enough by the Kick Buttowski narrator.

"Big Bro Wedgie!" Brad picks up Myron via a wedgie move where underwear suddenly appeared out of nowhere.

"Splash Lancer!" Myron counters back by sending a wave of water at everyone.

"Weapons of Torture!" Vicky unleashes several enlarged weapons from her torture chamber including a mace and an axe at her unlucky enemies.

"Cherry Blossom Barrage!" Ayame sends out a barrage of attacks on Vicky, sending her flying as cherry blossom petals were seen, symbolizing the very definition of a beautiful beatdown.

"B.F.L.!" Reagan and Heloise unleashed a giant laser that caused everyone to have scatter or futilely block it, something that Myron tried but failed and was knocked out as his robot shut down on him.

"Wait, what's B.F.L.?" Asta asked.

"Actually, I think I know what it is, but I'm not saying it on family programming." Rex said.

"Just whisper it like I did. No one will know." Akko said.

"I would say I don't care but Six and Holiday would get mad at me. Ah what the heck, I don't care. Not like they're watchin' this anyway." Bobo said.

"Honestly, that implies that they don't care." Rex said.

"Let's be honest, they probably don't. And I don't mean that in a hurtful way either. "

"Bombs away!" Doyle rains down several bombs at his opponents.

"Iron heart!" Cameron's robot became a lot more reinforced before he activated a beam from his chest along with hand blasts similar to Iron Man's.

"There's no way they're gonna be able to dodge all that!" Diego called out, hands on his head at the disaster that was about to unfold.

"Ninja Nomi-awesomeness!" Using a quote from the Ninja Nomicon to instantly give him guidance, Randy used a move to completely tank the attacks.

"Times getting tight, so give me a hand; to win this fight I need warriors of sand!" Randy called out.

The sand warriors chopped or blocked all of the bombs.

"Machine Guns!" Launch called out before unleashing large machine guns that could give Hiruma's non-toy arsenal a run for its money as she unloaded on all of them and continued to do so until they all went down.

"Well, that's it! Round over! You all advance to the next round, while also losing a team member as well. Myron, you're out." Chris announced.

"What a disappointing end." Myron remarked before sighing.

"Don't worry about it. You did your job, now it's time for us to do ours and finish this off with a win." Bad Launch reassured him.

"You denied me my bonus money!" Vicky yelled out. "YOU'LL PAY!" Vicky yelled out before calming down. "We still get paid the normal money for this, right?"

"Yep!" Chris answered.

"Good. We're outta here. See you losers later!" Brad said as he and Vicky got out of their robots before being sent home via a portal.

"Well, how was it?" Doyle asked Cameron as he got out of his robot.

"Short, but fun. Thank you again for giving me this opportunity to help." Cameron said.

"No prob. Rest up buddy!" Doyle said, giving a thumbs up before seeing the others pass by. "GGs." He said to Reagan, looking for a handshake as she passed by only for her to leave him hanging as she made an angry grunt past him. "Right. Time and place."

"Rats! On to the round 3! Hope you're done Rick, because if not-" Chris started before Rick immediately cut him off.

"Of course I'm done. With how long that fight with the Kings took, I was about to get it done not too long after they finished." Rick said. "And that's a testament to how much those five wasted time, not how good Heather and Biff are. Those two are idiots."

"I told you you coulda took the shot earlier. Now look what you cost us! That could have been two guys on their team gone." Bobo said to Rook.

"Once again, I apologize." Rook said.

"Remember, you've already used one assist. You've got one left and you still have the option to bring help in for a full round." Chef reminded them.

"Hopefully we don't burn through another one here too. One more thing. Hiruma, give me your guns." Rick said, which caused the QB to widen his eyes.

"I know you still have them, so think you can just BS me."

Hiruma simply closed his eyes before tossing a bazooka, an assault rifle and a sniper his way.

"What happened to not bringing guns?" Lanolin asked, in disbelief that he would go against his word.

"Relax. These are the only ones I have. As for you, give them hell old fart." Hiruma said.

"Damn right I will." Rick said before following his teammates in the portal.

***Confessional***

Lanolin(Radical Rats):

Lanolin could only sigh.

***End Confessional***

***Confessional***

Rally(Radical Rats):

"Damn it Hiruma! I should have known he lied. But I wanted to believe that he kept his word." Rally said before sighing. "At the very least, he waited until now to- wait a minute, he shot Rocky with a real gun too! He's been lying since the last episode!"

After coming to this realization, she looked as if she was about to explode.

***End Confessional***

***Confessional***

Rick(Radical Rats):

"Last time we got absolutely speed blitzed. If it wasn't for Natsu we probably would have been done. Better believe that s[censored]'s not happening again. Not on my watch." Rick said, now having two pistols in his hand that he made himself.

Rats Stage 3: Camp Wawanakwa(Total Drama Island)

The five were in the forest area of the island.

"Another forest huh?" Axl commented.

"Yeah. Except this one's on Camp Wawanakwa. Guess Chris doesn't give a damn about his stuff getting destroyed this time, 'cause that's probably what's going to happen." Rick said.

"Keep an eye out. We don't want to end up in another situation where we're webbed up again." Tangle said low.

"Locked and loaded." Axl said, pulling out his pistols and dashing forward a bit before a dart flew at them before its needle stuck into something. That something being Axl in his neck. He took the dart out from his neck and looked at it.

"Nice work shooting the android dumba[censored]es!" Rick called out.

"How unfortunate. We were hoping to make things even." A voice said.

"Oh no. I know that voice." Bren said.

"Who is it? Are they good?" Bobo asked.

"Usually we can deal with 'em pretty okay. But that doesn't mean they're not dangerous. It's….." Bren started before the four adversaries for the stage revealed themselves.

"Team Darkspin!" Bren finished.

The four glided to the ground along with several red Monsuno.

The source of the voice wore a short black top that revealed her belly similar to a crop top. The top had the logo of a red cobra on the left. She wore sleeves tied in a red ribbon at the top, but her left her elbows uncovered and wore matching black pants with brown boots. Her hair was tied into a bun with two long bangs extending from the sides of her hair.

Accompanying her was Agrius, who was the long-haired bruiser of the team, Latinus, the tech wizard, and Telegonius, the hooded hot-head of the team.

"To be fair, we didn't expect Axl to move so suddenly." Latinus remarked.

"Guess it was a great time for Axl's eagerness to come into play then." X remarked.

"A mistake that we won't make again!" Telegonius declared.

Moonfire, Spiderwolf, Spikebat, Toxiclaw and Poisonwing were all already unleashed from their cores and ready for battle.

Moonfire was a mixture of a scorpion and a spider, Spiderwolf was a mixture of a wolf, spider and bat, and Spikebat resembles a bat with four smaller wings instead of 2 larger ones. Toxiclaw was a crab-like Monsuno with its two pincers being used as legs and were larger than the rest of its body. Poisonwing resembled a dragonfly and a spitting cobra.

"Let's kick things off shall we? Spikebat! Terror tail!" Telegonius commanded as the Monsuno moved higher in the air before unleashing a rain of smaller red energy blasts on the five, forcing them to have to run to avoid being bombarded. But it was able to outrun the five and sent them flying.

"Your suffering's not through yet! Vocal Assault!" Latinus called out. The sonic waves unleashed by Spiderwolf were blocked by Rick, Bennett and Cicini, all three using personal forcefields to block the sonic assault.

"How cruel of you to take all of the fun to yourselves." Medea said in a pretend pouty voice. "Poisonwing! Hellish Hurricane! Toxiclaw! Give your friend a hand, or should I say, claw."

Hellish Hurricane allowed for the cobra-like Monsuno to move and attack faster, allowing them to avoid the blasts and bullets that Axl, Rick, Bennett and Cicini sent its way before it blitzed all of them. Though Rick shot the ground with ice and slowed down its assault.

Toxiclaw detached its claws and used them as boomerang-like projectiles. Tangle grabbed both and threw them away into the sky.

"And I thought only cats could get declawed." Tangle quipped. "Be right back!" She dashed off away from the battle.

"Tangle! Where are you going!?" Bennett called out. Though this would be ignored as she was already long gone.

Axl used the window of Toxiclaw lacking claws to launch out a Volt Tornado shot from a ray gun, unleashing an electro-storm on Toxiclaw, shocking it, and sending it flying at the same time, something that showed on Medea's core.

Moonfire created a web snare to break Toxiclaw's fall to avoid it from taking additional fall damage from the impact.

But this created an opening for Rick to freeze it. Something that Moonfire was able to immediately break out of but was immediately scorched by a ring of fire, the noise it was making further emphasizing the suffering that was being inflicted on it. The source being Axl via a Circle Blaze shot, the damage over time showing on Agrius' core. Though Axl didn't have time to celebrate as he was attacked from above with more blaster shots by Spikebat, forcing him to have to roll out of the way and immediately retaliate back with regular bullets from his pistols, forcing it to teleport to dodge the shots.

"Moonfire! Show them your flames as well!" Agrius called out. The Monsuno shot back at Rick and Bennett with several rapid fire, fire energy blasts repeatedly as if they were bullets.

Bennett fired back with his own laser pistol before it blocked them with an energy shield.

"Looks like you made your own weapons huh?" Rick remarked.

"Not exactly. Cicini helped make them with me." Bennett said.

"Of course she did." He said before firing back with a mixture of lasers and real bullets from the assault rifle that Hiruma provided him, using the rocket boots he had to prevent himself and Bennett from being hit by an energy beam from behind by Poisonwing via a Stasis Sting attack.

"At least I can ask for help." Bennett remarked.

"Nah, you just can't build s[censored] for yourself." Rick remarked, pointing his pistol in the direction of Poisonwing but it was gone the second he did.

"You would make an ignorant statement like that. You do realize I'm the one that built Edee right?" Bennett remarked, looking around for the snake-like Monsuno along with Rick.

"A floating robot. You mean the one that's worse than the ones Team JET have?"

"That's what improvements are for!" Bennett said, his anger causing him to miss an easy shot at Spiderwolf who blocked the attack with a shield.

"Is that all? For you to be geniuses I'm not impressed. Fearsome furflex! Then use Infernal Spear!" Latinus called out.

Spiderwolf's fur enlarged as red aura surrounded, increasing all of its stats before it advanced faster at the two than they expected before immediately starting a barrage of attacks.

Moonfire also joined in on the barrage to attack the two, with rapid-fire attacks that could compete with Star Platinum's rapid fire punches when it came to speed.

"Damn it!" Rick called out, being unable to do anything else but block the attacks via a forcefield.

Their saving grace from being continuously barraged by them was the fact that Cicini threw blue and red bombs at them that exploded and forced the Monsuno pair to have to block or risk taking massive damage. Though the shields were unable to stop all of it as they still took damage.

While Toxiclaw attempted to attack both Axl and Cicini with a barrage of blasts, Poisonwing used this as its opportunity to constrict Axl, who tried his hardest to break free. But the more he did, the more its grip strengthened.

"This is the worst….. time… for you to run off Tangle!" Axl called out, still trying to struggle free.

Cicini was being bombarded by energy blasts from Spikeblast who continued to teleport to avoid it from being hit.

"They're outnumbered. This isn't looking good." Bren commented.

"Actually it is. For us." Eliza corrected him.

"Come on Tangle. What are you doing?" Lanolin thought.

Medea laughed with glee. "Too bad your ringtailed friend won't be around to watch you get annihilated. Though I suppose she made the right decision to run away. Now, finish them!"

Suddenly, several trees began to come down.

"TIMBERR!"

The trees crushed all of the Monsuno in the area.

"NOOOOOOO! Victory was in my grasp and it was taken from me!" Medea shouted before holding her head.

Axl pointed a pistol at her. "You're out of Monsuno and out of options. It's over."

"Oh really?" A smile suddenly crept on her face before bombs were seen on her and the rest of her crew.

"Are you out of your mind!? You'll blow yourselves up too!"

"Quite the contrary. We've got the means to survive. You on the other hand…." Latinus said.

"You're bluffing." Axl said.

"Oh? Then let's test that theory." Medea said. Axl immediately tacked her, thinking that she was about to activate the bombs. But it wasn't her that had the trigger. It was Agrius. But before he could press the button, it was taken away from him by none other than Tangle who also sent that flying as well.

"Looks like your theory is invalid." Tangle said, hands on her hips.

Medea closed her eyes in defeat as she and the others were teleported out. A portal opened for the five Rats.

"Took you long enough. And you're supposed to be fast?" Axl said to her as they walked through.

"Sorry. I was trying to figure out how exactly I was going to grab all of those trees. And while it worked, I've got to admit, my backside feels like it's been torn off."

"Okay, no need to be that descriptive."

"Sorry. Just know that my tail really, really hurts."

"Would have been a lot worse if you took any longer. That was a gutsy move." Rick said.

"One that allowed you all to advance to the next stage! Luckily for you, you'll have time to rest as the other teams take a crack at it." Chris said. "Better enjoy it as much as you can. Kings! Your turn!"

"Weiss will be our sub for Mayuzumi." Akashi informed the host.

"Cool. Well, good luck." Chris said before Heloise handed Huey and Bren the weapons that Heather and Biff used.

"I refuse to let my work go to waste so, have at it you two." Heloise said.

"Wow. Thanks!" Huey said.

"You want to thank me? Don't lose on this stage. Or else."

The five went through the portal for their third stage.

***Confessional***

Chris:

"Well, good news is, I kinda figured this was going to happen, so I didn't really care about damage this time. But jeez Tangle, did you really have to take that much of the forest with you?"

***End Confessional***

Kings Stage 3: Pahkitew Island(Total Drama Pahkitew Island)

The five appeared and were out in the open.

"Wow. Another island. Very innovative." Bren said sarcastically.

"It's Chris. You shouldn't expect anything less from the man that carries around an improperly conditioned cafeteria and outhouse confessional." Weiss said.

"Look at it this way, it'll be a whole lot easier to find who we gotta deal with than just some sneak attack since we're out in the open." Bobo reasoned.

"There's no need for a sneak attack. We're more than enough to crush you weaklings." A red and black robot with red eyes declared, one that was all too familiar to the Maverick Hunters.

"Vile." Zero said.

"This guy never learns does he?" Axl said.

"A friend of yours I presume?" Tangle remarked sarcastically.

"Formerly a Maverick Hunter before he was dismissed for his reckless behavior when it came to collateral damage in missions. Now he's aligned he's aligned himself with Sigma." X explained.

"Guess he came here hoping to ruin our day, which is pretty ironic given what's happening now." Axl said.

"We? I'm not even gonna get to the 'you and what army'. Who else is out there?" Bobo asked.

"Glad you asked. Behold my creations!" A man with light-blue skin, long hair tied in a ponytail, a scar under his left eye, and a thick unibrow declared proudly. He wore a blue double-breasted coat and trousers, with black gloves and boots. He also wears a wide belt and a black collar, both of which are embossed with pale green circles.

With him were several others that were red and black just like Vile. One was a muscular man who had a neutral expression on his face, a far cry from what his source material is like. He had long black hair that was tied back in a low ponytail and wore a torn black shirt, and a red denim vest with a black store on the back. He wore black jeans, high top sneakers, fingerless gloves and a red baseball cap with the words "Fatal Fury" engraved on it.

The second wore a red jacket and black hair and a scabbard with a sword, also sporting the same neutral expression as the first.

The third a black bodysuit that features a red 'X' placed over the top of the left pectoral muscle, an ash-gray utility belt, red gloves wth brght red 'X's on the palms, a black cape and a helmet-like mask that featured a red skull and a bright red 'X' placed in the middle of the face.

A fourth wore red and black shirt-and-pants set wth the right half being red and the left half being black, divided diagonally down the middle with a white red glove and a black right gloves. Her pants were black with streaks of red that come down to her red boots. Her black hair was in a ponytail and she had red eyes.

"And of course, their leader, muah, Shego! You know, the woman that got rejected because of a want for 'diversity'." A woman with light green-skinned woman with long hip-length hair and light green accents, forest-green eyes and arched-styled brows. She wore a green and black high-collared catsuit sporting a harlequin-pattern with matching gloves along with a utility pouch strapped around her lower left leg.

"Huh?" Several contestants said in disbelief.

"Okay, okay, clarification on that. It's not what you think. I mean repetition. Apparently, I've been in five other seasons.. Five! Two no one even knows about, one is under some 'reconstruction' or something, and another hasn't made a new episode in like forever. I'll give you one of them since that one's done but that's about it. And you want to tell me about stupid diversity!? Take a look at Loona! Octavia! How many seasons have they been in? Freaking Rick has been in 11 seasons! Only reason I don't bring up Ash is because many of those seasons the kid isn't even the best he could be. But I blame him for being an idiot in like half those seasons for only bringing one Pokemon with him."

Shego sighed. "Thank you for listening to my rant. I needed to get that off my chest. And since I can't take my anger out on Chris or the executives and producers since I'm getting paid thanks to them, I get to take it out on you!" She said, as bright green energy surrounded her hands.

"Glad to know you're not blamin' us." Bobo said before aiming his pistols.

"I can understand being upset, but I think we're the wrong people to be taking your anger out on." Huey remarked. "You're not getting in our way. You or Drakken's pretty impressive looking creations."

"Wait!" Drakken said as the six were prepared to fight.

"What!?" The six asked, turning towards the doctor.

"You didn't let me explain my creations!"

"Huh. I knew something felt off. Go ahead." Huey said.

"Thank you."

"Fine. Just make it quick before I smash those things myself." Shego said, arms folded, tapping her foot impatiently.

"You may be wondering who these five accompanying Shego are." Drakken started.

"Honestly, no." Bobo said.

"You're trying to be hurtful on purpose."

"Nah. I just really don't care."

"Wait. Really?"

"Yes, really! Ya know what?" Bobo suddenly shot the robots. "That's the reason. 'Cause they're just gonna get turned to scrap by us anyways."

"Ha! I figured one of you would try to get the jump on them and cheat! That's why made a backup set!" Drakken declared proudly.

"So, why exactly didn't you just have like a picture of them or something? There were definitely different ways you could have handled explaining them to us without losing that set." Bren asked.

"To have a more dramatic effect of course!"

"Honestly, I get it, but I don't buy that. That's still very inefficient and a waste of resources." Huey said.

"Well then since you know so much mister genius duck, explain the real reason then!"

"Maybe you don't care about the environment, which I really hope isn't the case. Or you just didn't think about it? Heck, why not just bring in both pairs at the same time for a larger advantage?"

"Incorrect! All three of those are incorrect!"

"Yeah, he's lying. He just didn't think about it." Shego said.

"Yes I did! Stop talking Shego! I let you have your rant! Now this is my time!"

"Time that you're wasting sitting here arguing with a duck. Something I never thought I'd be saying."

"Anyways, before I was rudely interrupted, four of these five are actually based off of individuals from different multiverses that have competed in these games and have stood triumphant. With the exception of one." Drakken began to explain. "At my request to learn more about this reality show, Chris gave me the resources I needed including access to interdimensional cable during my time here preparing for this day. I scoured the multiverse for perfect candidates to accompany Shego in her battle. From season to season, examining the winners."

A flashback of him scouring through winners from a guitar-playing sheep, to a princess, to a Dominican-American girl, to an alternate version of the friendly neighborhood web-slinger among others was seen.

"I needed only the strongest possible candidates. Not tied down by emotion or the need for others like some of these weakling 'winners' are, who quite honestly aren't deserving of it, but that's a story for another day. Hence why I chose these four. Specially made Syntho-Drones! From left to right, Terry Bogard, Dante, Red X and Danielle Phantom! As for Vile here. A reliable extra option in case you decide to call for help. I observed his potential during a VR challenge."

"Yeah, great. They're good. Are you done yet?" Shego asked, impatient.

"Now I am. Now, to battle!" Drakken called out before bots came down to assist Shego.

"You may think you're great Storm Kings, with how well you've played the whole season, but you are no match for the mind that is Drakken!"

"Yeah, whatever blue boy. Now let's get this over with." Bobo sad before shooting his pistols for real this time. Though the shots were blocked by the robotic Terry, who still said nothing.

(A/N: Big ups to G-Man for the idea of this dialogue between Drakken and Bobo. Though I added a little bit myself)

"I am no boy! I am a MAN!" Drakken shouted.

"Oh hush up you big baby and just watch." Shego said before she really got into the action against the opposing five.

***Confessional***

Shego:

"Wanna clarify one little fun fact. You know Zak? You know, the good one and frankly less annoying one? Yeah, Drakken was going to bring him in too. But after learning that apparently he has some goody-two-shoes mom that has my voice, that would have been way too weird so I vetoed that idea. And that's how he got replaced by Vile. Pretty crazy how both of them were in another season too. I'm not spoiling who won that season. I may be evil, but I'm not that evil."

***End Confessional***

"Alright, let's get this over with. I got better things to do." Syntho-Dante said, a robotic echo in his usual voice as he spoke, pulling out his sword.

"How? Aren't you a robot?" Huey asked.

"Let's kick it!" Syntho-Dante called out, running at him, seemingly ignoring his comment.

He sent several slices at Huey some of which he was able to dodge initially but was inevitably overwhelmed and hit with several consecutive hits that were just as stylish as the source material's.

Bren attempted to throw out a core to provide Huey some assistance but was stopped by Syntho-X who grappled the core.

"Ah, ah." Syntho-X wagged his finger. "Think I'll hold on to this."

"I'm actually impressed Doc. You actually gave these guys a bit of flavor too." Shego said as she battled Weiss.

"Would you expect anything less?" Drakken said proudly before cowardly ducking under a stray shot from Bobo, who was shooting at Vile MKS(The S stands for Syntho), who was now airborne.

"You would think you would be paying more attention to the person in front of you than the coward who won't even fight." Weiss remarked as she continued to attack Shego with her Myrtenaster.

"You take that back!" Drakken shouted, waving his fist before ducking again, almost having his hair burned off by more stray shots and blasts from Rook, Syntho-Dani and Syntho-X. "Please watch where you're firing please! Thank you!"

"Oh I am. I just don't see the reason why I need to pay attention fully." Shego said.

Weiss, feeling disrespected, sent ice crystals her way via glyphs and blue dust.

"Wanna learn something?" Shego asked, as she dodged the ice or smashed through them with energy balls.

"Considering your disrespect, I shouldn't. But I'll bite. What is it?" She sent a gravity glyph her way but Shego dodged it by jumping high in the air by the shooting an energy blast at the ground. Weiss immediately put up an ice wall to stop Shego from advancing forward.

"You've been in your fair share of seasons too. Five actually. From what I've seen, I'm not impressed. What's different about you other than what your little fling?"

This statement visibly made her upset as she changed dust again, trying to blow Shego away.

Though she was hit in the side by Syntho-Dani, knocking her away.

"This isn't good. They're outnumbered. That odd man is making things a lot tougher on those five." Ruby R. commented.

"Then if that's the case, they need to even things up. They have assists for a reason." Paul said.

"But what about-" Ruby R. started.

"Doesn't matter what the doctor said. If they lose this and don't use their assists, knowing they're having trouble, then that would be considered foolish."

"Foolish is a pretty strong word. You're basically just calling them stupid for trying to save them for the harder stages." Riley said as Syntho-Terry shrugged off one of the energy balls sent at him from the mallet and then performed a Buster Wolf on Bren.

"Save them?" Aomine chuckled. "When are they gonna use them then? You can call it 'mean' all you want. Can't exactly take those things to the grave. And besides, you're saying that, knowing damn well you'd vote one of them off if we don't win because of this. But, not exactly much we can do about it from here though since Chris cut off communications. Just gotta hope they figure things out I guess." Aomine said.

Huey was on his last legs after being relentlessly attacked by Dante, though the same could be said about Vile as well. Rook and Bobo were able to work together to find and exploit a pattern that he would always use to attack.

"Was hoping for more of a challenge but, whatever." Syntho-Dante said before shrugging as he was about to finish off Huey. But his shrugging seemed to have been lasting longer than it should have. After several seconds passed, Syntho-Dante had a sword impaled into him, Syntho-Terry's Power Geyser attempt was thwarted as his arms were separated from his body, Syntho-X had a hole in his chest and Syntho-Dani's head was separated from the body. As for Vile, yet another version of him would be retired. Shego was thrown into the water.

"Wha- how did- UGH!" Shego went from confused to angrily frustrated.

The source of this change in fortune was Ben as he returned to normal as Clockwork.

"Good thinking. But, how did you even know I could do that?" Ben asked Huey, who was the source of him appearing.

"It was a bit of a gamble, but I figured you could do something to help." Huey answered.

"Well, it was a good gamble, because I'd say this is pretty much over." Ben said confidently as the six surrounded Drakken who laughed nervously.

"Uh…. I surrender?" Drakken said, hands in the air.

As much as she hated to do it, she also raised her hands in the air.

"You better pay me Chris!" Shego called out.

As the Breakers prepared for stage 3, Huey and the others were going back to spectate with the others with an annoyed Randy fumbling around with some type of book.

"Sorry guys. Was put in a tough situation so I had to-" Huey started before Din stopped him.

"Don't be. You did what you had to to survive and help us move on. Just be ready for the next one." Din said.

"I'm more disappointed in the fact that it took you until you were about to lose to do it." Paul remarked.

"You're alive aren't you? Act like it and regroup!" Skipper shouted at the duck.

"Like I said before, can't take 'em with ya to the grave." Aomine added.

"Right! Thanks guys!" Huey said, appreciating the support greatly.

Breakers Stage 3: Boney Island(Total Drama Island)

They replaced one water user with another in Noelle for this stage after losing Myron in the last game.

"Another forest? At least the island didn't make me feel uncomfortable like this does." Ayame commented as they moved through the forest.

"Yeah. I know it's rich coming from me, and probably one of the most overused quotes ever, but I seriously feel like I'm being watched." Randy commented.

"Then shut your mouth so we can listen!" Bad Launch said low. Several eyes were seen in the bushes. She immediately pointed guns in their direction, with several of them running away. Though it wasn't because of her, it was because of someone flying in the air, who wore silver chest plate armor over a purple jumpsuit. A black helmet with four pink lines on the helmet covered their face. They wasted no time, firing at the five immediately with the pistols he had.

"SixSix. This is not going to be easy for them." Rook said.

"How many people did you hire for this?" Ben asked Chris.

"Enough." Chris said.

"In other words, four more guys. Did you hire SevenSeven and Kraab too?" Half was sarcastic and half was an actual question.

"Half right."

The next thing Reagan knew, the arm that had her glove was rock solid, and she was unable to move it, to her shock before she fell to the ground because of the weight, unable to move. A gas was exposed to Launch, causing her to cough and sneeze and return to her good self. Noelle's wand was also knocked out of her hand.

"Always taking the head-on approach. Brute force doesn't win you everything you know!" An alien that resembled a fiddler crab with goldish brown-colored armor, a sideways mouth, four scythe0like legs and a large powerful pincer for a left hand. But surprisingly, he was still knocked away by a water attack from Noelle.

The other bounty hunter talked but couldn't be understood because of the fact that he was talking in his native language. He fired at Noelle, Launch and Reagan, with the third out of the three about to be hit before Noelle, getting her wand, protected the three. Nothing SixSix was able to fire at it was able to break through the barrier.

Muttering something to himself, he backed off before flying off as Kraab had joined him, now saying something about not seeing Ayame and Randy.

"I am aware of that. Exactly why I am searching for them." Kraab replied, looking around for Ayame and Randy using his thermographic vision to try and find them. But they were nowhere to be found.

"They've probably run away." SixSix figured.

"So it would seem. Surprising, but sma-" Kraab started before he and SixSix were joined by a third person, wearing a blue jumpsuit with black gloves and a light blue mask covering their face with long black hair.

"So you're the little nuisance that caused those two trouble." She said.

"Abbey." Doyle said with contempt in his voice.

"Rival of yours?" Ben asked, recognizing the same mask on her face.

"Not rivals. Ex."

"Oh." Ben said nothing else about it, knowing that this was probably a weird situation for Doyle.

"So you're ex-rivals? That should make you friends, right? Guessing you're jealous?" Asta asked, confused.

"No, that's not it." Fiona said.

"If that is not the case, then what is it then?" Rook asked, also confused.

"I used to date her. Let's not draw this out more than we have to." Doyle said.

"Ouch." Aomine commented.

"Hiring the ex of your interns. Wow Chris." Sly said.

"It's not like he told me. How the heck was I supposed to know?" Chris asked.

"It doesn't exactly look like he's fan of it either." Sly remarked.

"It's fine. I'm not mad at Chris. He actually didn't know 'cause I didn't feel the need to tell him about something like that. Never thought that would ever come into play, but here we are."

"You gotta admit, it's still weird. You couldn't have found anyone else?" Chef asked Chris.

"She came to me about wanting to be an intern actually, since she said she was good with kids and has traveled the world herself. Sounded qualified enough for the job but I already told her the spots were already decided. But I told her I'd give her a call if anything came up. And this was the best fit for her. By the way, she never asked me anything about who the interns were." Chris said.

"Always taking up the scraps I see. And she didn't have to. I'm sure she already knew." Doyle said, arms folded now as he continued to watch the battle that was taking place.

"You know, your power reminds me of someone I used to babysit." Abbey remarked as Launch, back as her bad personality, fired at Abbey as she assisted Noelle, resisting the wave of water that was sent her way.

"I honestly don't know what to say to that." Noelle replied.

"You should take that as a compliment, as I consider you the biggest problem out of all of you. Though I fail to understand why you continue to defend her. As long as she's stuck, she's dead weight. And if she tries to forcibly get her arm out, there's a good chance she'll lose some of it. And there's nothing any of you can do to get her out."

"I hate to admit it, but she's right. Nothing I've tried has been able to soften whatever that crab hunter put on her arm. Whatever preparation he did, you can't say it wasn't done well. Whatever those two have planned, they need to hurry, and fast." Noelle thought.

Speaking of those two, Randy's face was in a book as he looked as if he was out cold as Ayame was keeping a lookout as he had to take care of "business".

Inside the Nomicon, Randy was being presented with a lesson. He was in a dojo as several targets were seen with different colors to indicate what to attack with. Using different attacks from the sand attacks to his sword, and even just regular martial arts, he attacked all of them, but none of them worked and were reflected right back at him.

"Okay. So it looks like it's the other way around. Let's try mixing things up." Randy said aloud before switching attacks on the targets, which also failed as he was countered, or the targets went down, both of which were still considered a failure.

"Come on! How am I supposed to hit the targets if you keep putting them down!?" Randy said aloud, frustrated.

Suddenly, a message appeared before him.

"Sometimes, the best attack on your enemies are themselves." Randy recited.

"What? That literally makes no sense. Can you reword that?"

"The best attack can be no attack." Randy recited again.

"Wow, you actually did it. But seriously, have you even been watching what's been going on? To win, we have to actually knock them out or get them to surrender, and they don't look like the surrendering type. Thanks for literally wasting my time when my team needs me. If we lose, this is your fault! Which will extend to it being mine and could get me eliminated!" Suddenly, he was pulled away from the dojo as it looked as if everything was getting smaller.

"Motion sickness alert! AAHHHHHH!"

The book was on top of his head before regaining consciousness and taking it off his head, running back to Ayame.

"Sorry."

"Better late than never I'd say. Now let's regroup and go help out the others!" Ayame called out.

"If they aren't already gone."

"Don't say that. Not after the progress we've made so far."

Making their way back towards the others, they found the three(well two), still trying to hold off the bounty hunters.

Thanks to Kraab digging under Noelle's defenses, they weren't exactly having an easy time holding them off either. Because of the fact that none of Launch's bullets were tough enough to harm any of them, including Abbey, who revealed that she was wearing body armor underneath her clothes, Noelle was the one that had to hold the effort. And even with her strong magical abilities, against experienced bounty hunters, it was still a tough ask.

"Don't you get it? We're resistant to any of the water attacks you throw at us so you can't hope to try to short us out. And that was something already covered before I even met you. Did you really think I would be stupid enough to not cover the oldest trick in the book when it comes to technology?" Kraab said as they continued to try and stop Noelle and Launch, with Kraab shooting powerful red laser blasts from his claws.

"I really fail to understand why you won't just use your assists. I can tell you're getting tired. Why not just use them and see if you can turn things around?" Abbey reasoned as she continued to send wrist blasts their way.

SixSix looked at Abbey before speaking again.f

"What are you doing?" SixSix asked Abbey.

"Don't give them ideas you idiot!" Kraab said.

Abbey scoffed. "Ideas? If they forgot or refuse to use them then that's their loss and our gain. I could care less what they do. I just think holding on to them like they're so precious is just foolish." Abbey replied.

"She's right! We gotta use 'em!" Launch called out.

"No! We have to wait! That's what they want!" Noelle called out.

"For those two cowards to come back!? No way! I'm goin' for it!"

"Oh, you mean these assists?" Randy said, unseen before he and Ayame came out of nowhere and attacked the three.

Ayame took out her stone.

"Let's see if your preparation is ready for this!" Ayame declared as it was about to glow for her to transform.

Before she could use it, it was knocked out of her hands by a perfect shot from SixSix before Kraab froze it.

"Actually it was. Now there's no way for it to come back to you if it can't move." Kraab declared as flashbang grenades blinded the two before they were netted by Abbey. "Comical how you thought you had it all figured out."

Noelle was starting to get exhausted from having to consistently defend. She still had more in her but that and her strong attacks used more energy.

"They should have used the assists earlier. This is probably checkmate now." Hanamiya commented.

"Sometimes, the best attack on your enemies are themselves..." Randy thought. "I got it!"

"Well, looks like you'll be the first to get those bonuses. " Randy asked.

"True. But you're prey. Why should you care?" Kraab asked before Kraab and SixSix were hit by Abbey via wrist rockets and corrosive grenades that corroded their armor, making their functions useless before using similar technology that Doyle once used to freeze them.

"Even so, it is true. And unlike the others, I don't feel the need to have to work with you. I can just take all of your bonuses for myself." Abbey declared.

"I would say it's a good plan, but again, it's Abbey." Doyle commented. "And I'm not saying that because she's my ex. This isn't about that anymore. It's-"

"Wow. Stealing their bonuses when you basically did nothing but come in to help at the end. Lazy and selfish." Reagan remarked, still unable to move

"Took the words out of my mouth." Doyle said.

"Lazy? Patience is not the same thing as laziness. And for the record, research can't win you everything either. But patience can surely win a lot." She remarked before finding the non-ninjas. "Besides, he talks way too much for my liking. It was starting to get on my nerves. Now-"

"I know getting out here would be grand, but I think I'm fiendin' for some quicksand!" Randy called out.

"What?" Abbey said, confused before the sand under her turned into quicksand.

Abbey immediately tried to pull out of the sand with her jetpack by thrusting it upwards.

"Launch! Tiime to break the ice!" Randy called out. Realizing what he was talking about, Launch shot the ice encapsulating Ayame's stone before it broke. She tried to shoot it away but it was too fast.

"POWER CHANGE!" Ayame, transformed, broke free of the net and jumped in the air, seeing her about to aim heat-seeking missiles at her, she teleported right in front of Abbey before throwing her into a tree. As for the missiles, they were able to be blocked by Noelle, protecting her and her teammates.

"Well, I think that takes care of that." Ayame declared proudly as she transformed back to normal.

Launch pointed a gun at her with Abbey actually raising her hands in surrender.

"I give up. I'll take my losses and stop here."

She suddenly closed her eyes and lobbed a grenade in the air before immediately shooting it, blinding everyone before she shot Ayame,knocking her out. Noelle, though blinded, immediately sent a wave of water to drown her out.

"Stop! That's enough!" Randy called out as she grabbed onto Noelle's shoulder after regaining his vision.

A couple more seconds passed before she stopped. Abbey coughed before she took deep breaths for air.

Launch knocked her out on the head with the butt of her gun. "This time, no tricks."

They were all brought back to the studio afterwards.

"Can't say I exactly feel bad for her. Especially after what she did." Doyle remarked as she looked at her unconscious. "But hey, it is business after all." He sad, a twinge of sarcasm in his voice.

"Okay, but is anyone going to get this off?" Reagan asked, arm still stuck in the glove and still on the ground.

"Better figure something out. Luckily, you'll have time since the last two stages for each team will be back to back, so prepare yourselves. This is it!" Chris announced. "Rats! Let's go!"

"Well, this is it. Let's bring it home everyone!" Tangle said.

"We've got this. Two more to a perfect run!" Axl said confidently as he pulled out his pistols. "Hope that tail's feeling better 'cause I feel like it's about to go through a lot."

"It's as best as it can be for now. It'll have to last. Thankfully, that's where you guys come in to help."

"Let's go!"

The pair eagerly ran into the portal that opened.

"Can't say they're not eager." Zero commented.

"That's what you call a match made in heaven." Kise commented.

"Let's just hope that doesn't replace their thinking. They won't get time to rest now." Lanolin said.

Rats Stage 4: ?

The five were in area similar to a desert. Though the rocks and many formations were actually cubes.

"Desolate and out in the open. Not a good sign at all." Bennett commented.

"I can feel an assassination attempt coming. Stay sharp." Rick said.

"Assassination attempt? No need." A voice said before a blue toned Cicini, from her clothes, to even her hair, were now shades of blue with a bit of black as well, appeared. Though she wasn't the only one. She expanded herself to create more copies of her before a bright light was seen, causing the five to have to cover their eyes. The next thing they knew, there were mirror image versions of themselves.

"A doppleganger match? How original. These clones don't have s[censored] on the original." Rick said. The copies stayed in silence.

"Uh, hello?" Tangle said. Still nothing.

"So we don't even get banter. Great." Axl said.

"If you want to hope to get through, I suggest you prepare yourselves. Until next time!" The voice sad before he was no longer heard.

"Let's show how Radical..." Axl started.

"The Real Rats are!" Tangle finished as the five ran at each other, as they were about to clash.

"As we prepare for the final sets of battles, we'll take a bit of a short break! Buckle up, 'cause these next few might put them through it! We'll be back!" Chris said.

A/N: Decided to make the split here just so there can be more time to flesh out what goes on in these last few battles, especially since the source material for most of these are pretty obscure.

I will say, that a trio is looking to do something that a Transformer in the season of a certain Meme Lord couldn't: Beat the contestants
