Reviews:

MemeKing: Yeah. The Monsuno characters are so much fun to write. But, this may not be the last time he helps his team though. Perhaps Skipper was onto something….. ;)

Faman: It's funny, for Kagami, it was the opposite. Why do I low-key feel like Aomine would use that as a bragging point over him lol

Chris was seen standing in front of the contestants' newly built mansion.

"Last time on Total Drama Across the Multiverse! It was time to brawl down in Bayview, in the US of A! This one was just a good ol' Bakugan brawling challenge in interspace. Hosted by Battle Brawler Marucho! With the return of veteran Dan Kuso alongside his also brawling GF, Runo. On the way to interspace, Marucho also got to show off his luxury life with his mansion. And how cheap his parents are when it comes to cable TV. Yeah. Crazy thing to say about a filthy rich family. But anyways…."

Footage of Marucho, Dan and Runo introducing themselves along with the cast walking through the mansion was shown.

"Six would be chosen from each team to participate, with each member having time to practice and choose the elements of the Bakugan they wanted to use. But the Bakugan themselves would be randomized. There'd one-on-one battles and two-on-two battles, which would alternate after each battle. Winner stays on and as revealed later, each team would have their own life force bars as a whole, rather than each team member having. Last team standing would be considered the winners of the challenge."

Footage of the 18 participants practicing was shown.

"In the beginning, it looked like the Breakers would run away with this one easy. Until it wasn't that easy. Sure, they still won, but they almost blew a lead in a challenge that looked like they were just about to do a clean sweep in. To a team that literally didn't win any games in the Rats, with Zee leading the way. That's how good they looked. And didn't look at the end. No, I'm not joking on that Zee part. He was pretty much the star of the show for their team that day. So much that Hiruma, Murasakibara and Diana were picked but got no play time. And they still almost won. Crazy."

Footage of the brawls was shown.

"As for who got last place, it was the Kings. And again, they got last and fell behind a team that couldn't win a single brawl. Yikes. Well, someone had to pay for something like that happening. And that someone was Bren, who got the boot next. Look at it this way Bren, you lasted longer than Beyal and Jinja. Even if your placement says otherwise. Oh, and uh, Weiss and Aomine kissed. Hooray. If you wonder why I sound like that, one, I don't really care. And two, one or both of them are gonna get booted in probably the next few episodes anyway. Calling it now. It happened with Rei, so it'll probably happen again. And I know for sure it'll happen with Lot-" He stops himself. "Getting ahead of myself."

Footage of Bren's elimination was shown.

"Heck, it might be this one that one of them goes. But who knows? I could be completely wrong. Let's find out shall we? On today's episode of Total…..Drama…Across the Multiverse!"

Idea for this challenge from: 1_true_believer_3000 on AO3

Challenge Source/Inspiration: Chowder Episode 32A-Big Ball

Special Guests for Today's Episode:

Chowder, Mung Daal, Schnitzel, Endive, Panini, Truffles(VA: Tara Strong)(Chowder)

Metal music was heard from a TV. "Lost shadows left behiiiind! Obsession's pulling meeeee! Fading, I've come to take what's miiiine!" A young woman named Satsuki Kiryuin, was heard passionately singing on a mic in a concert.

It then changed to another channel where a younger Ben was in a lunchroom with his cousin Gwen. "And they'll destroy us all just to make it happen! Destroy us all! Destroy us all! Destroy us all!"

The channel changed again. This time to a downed Spider-Man on a raining rooftop. "What's an eight letter word for idiot? I tried imbecile, bonehead, peabrain. Oh wait, I got it…. Mordecai." Rigby said with a grin as he approached him on a rooftop with cybernetic arms before picking him up and grabbing him by the neck.

"Rigby….. why….. are you doing this?" Spider-Man, who was revealed to have been Mordecai asked, trying to break free, but was too weakened from his previous injuries to do so.

"It's simple really….to do to him what he did to me all those years ago! Tenfold!"

"Benson? He didn't-"

"Not Benson you moron!"

The channel changed again.

Raiden was able to perform one final series of slices to knock down Devastator. Once he looked to have been permanently down for the count, he put his sword away and turned aroumd.

"Target down. Returning to-"

The giant Decepticon began to rise again, causing Raiden to turn back around.

"That damn combiner! It still functions!?"

"You're gonna have to do better than that! Bring an army and maybe you'll have a chance!"

"This is the only army I need." Raiden said, sword out.

The TV changed again to Spider-Man and Venom teaming up to battle Carnage. Voices similar to Ben and Aomine were heard for Spider-Man and Venom respectively.

"Oohhhhh yeah." The camera zoomed out to reveal a slouched Reagan watching yeah. "I don't even think half the people left here even understand how this feels." She said aloud before burping. A soda can was also seen on the small table in front of her. "Thank you so much Chris. Needed this."

"Everyone! Report outside! It's go time!" Chris announced via megaphone.

"F[CENSORED]!" She yelled out in anger and frustration before burping again right afterwards.

*Confessional*

Reagan(Wave Breakers):

"You know what? I can't even be mad. I jinxed it. And in the back of my mind, I knew I would like a split-second before I said it, but I did it anyway thinking, 'nothin's gonna happen, you're fine Reagan', but nope! Something happened!"

*End Confessional*

"I just wanted one more day before I went back to hell…." Reagan lazily groaned out.

"Dramatic much?" Old Bennett said. "Then again, looking like that, I can see why you had that reaction. How do you get three days off but still don't look like you've gotten any sleep?"

"You act like you've never felt like this in your life. Then again, you've never had to deal with running a company."

"Okay…. you got me there. But still! You can't even use the excuse of working!"

"I worked!" She burped. "For like a couple hours."

"Like I said, I can tell." Old Bennett said, folding his arms.

"Come on, this show isn't that bad. I may torture you, but it'll never get to that level." Chris said.

"Of course you'd say that! You're the host!" Both Bennetts and Reagan said simultaneously before they all kept saying "jinx" multiple times.

"Seriously though, comparing this show to hell? I don't know about that." Isagi said.

"You've only been here one season. Of course you'd say that." Courtney said to him.

"That was metaphorically speaking by the way." Reagan said.

"Still, comparing Total Drama to hell, even metaphorically speaking is still a bit much." Isagi said.

"We say all of this as if we don't have a demon from hell competing." Yulaw said.

"I can hear all of you, you know." Octavia said, earbuds in.

"Heh, I like how she just gave no opinion." Aomine said as he tried to fix his hair as it looked way messier than usual.

"What do you think goes on in hell, genius?"

"Definitely not anything good. I wouldn't know as I've never been. And don't want to be."

"Considering you're listening to music and whatnot, it can't be that bad." Morty said.

"What, you wanna go or somethin'?" Sendo asked him.

"No! No! Of course not!"

"I think people are forgetting there's different versions of 'hell'. Or places that look like it and think it is the afterlife. Because I refuse to believe any of that actually exists." Rick said.

"What do you mean refuse to believe it's real? We have someone from there standing right there."

"So? For all we know, she could be lying.'

"What reason would I have to lie about something as stupid as that? Unlike some people here I'm not insecure about myself." Octavia said.

"Ouch." Chris commented, looking at the camera as he did.

"Insecure? Nice projection. That reaction in New York says otherwise. Tell me I'm wrong. You can't." Rick replied to her.

"Can we please stop talking about this and move on with what the challenge is?" Hailey requested, starting to feel things really start to shift into a bad direction. Although she was already getting uncomfortable the second this talk about hell persisted.

"Hailey has spoken. Ask and you shall receive!" Chris said before the planes were ready for boarding. "None of you are gonna recognize this next place, spoiler alert. But, you may recognize a couple of the people there. Oh, and we're back to all teams being on one plane together again. The sitting with each other regardless of team was only for yesterday."

"I'm back guys! Now, let's get this show on the road! Well, sky, in this case." Launchpad said before getting ready to take off.

Rats' Plane

Pilot: Chef

"The hell are you talkin' about Morty? Stop being paranoid. It's my job to come up with the contingency plans. Are you Xi Jinping? Are you trying to censor me? Huh Morty!?" Rick said to him as they shared a seat after Morty suggested for him to tone it down with some of the comments he makes.

"How are you gonna compare me to a dictator? Come on Rick. And it's not being paranoid! It's literally facts! The worst thing you can do here is keep making enemies and antagonizing people." Morty said. "That's probably why Skipper got kicked out!"

"And how many people don't like Hiruma here? Or Miyuki? Or Todd? Or Louie? Like I said, stop being paranoid. We'll be fine. And Skipper probably got kicked out because he's a little guy trying to s[censored] talk like he towers over everyone. It just took now and getting through other people that were less useful than him for them to finally decide to get rid of him."

"Sure Rick. Sure."

*Confessional*

Morty(Radical Rats):

"Look, obviously I wanna have a good time here. And maybe win. I know it's probably not gonna happen, but look, when you've got someone that can do things like Rick can, guys that can stop time and Hiruma, you never know. But I do know this, I don't wanna get booted because people hate my guts. I wanna get booted because I tried my hardest and just couldn't get it done. Or because someone screwed us over. I know some villains revel in not being liked, but not me. Okay, maybe I should take out the parts about getting booted."

*End Confessional*

Kings' Plane

Pilot: Doyle

While they were on the plane, Weiss continued trying to fix her hair. It was down the entire time, but parts of it was sticking out, making it look un-neat.

"Come on, what's it going to take for you to come out?" Weiss grumbled to herself, annoyed.

"You've been doing that for a while." Ruby said to her.

"My hair? I know. This is a lot longer than I'd like but, here we are."

"Uusually you'd take care of that stuff way before we leave our rooms for school."

"I know. But, like I said before, here we are."

"This is your pilot Doyle 'number one intern' Blackwell speaking, suggesting that you all take a seat if you have already, and fasten your seatbelts. Thank you and enjoy your ride." Doyle said, using a walkie-talkie to talk.

"Most of us are doing that. Even Todd." Sophie said.

"Yeah. Say what you will about him, but he wouldn't ever do something like that." Courtney said.

"I can hear you guys, you know!" Todd called out, looking up for a second before looking back down again.

"I felt like he just did that just so he could say the intern thing, and to use the walkie-talkie." Ben said.

"Wouldn't be surprised. He acts like a big kid sometimes. At least from what I've seen of him this season. You'd probably know better than me." Maki said.

"That sounds about right."

Suddenly, the plane began to change on them suddenly. From the seats to the look of the plane on the inside. To even the condition of the windows.

"Oh. He was being serious." Maki said. "Wel, good thing we were still in our seatbelts. As garbage as these ones are." She added, looking at how even the seatbelt quality degraded. Way less protection compared to the original. Suddenly, her nose became irritated by a completely polarizing smell. And it wasn't because of the plane changing. It was because of the food that was being pushed to them by Chris.

"Your food my good sir. Enjoy." Chris said to Din, who was at the front of the plane. All Din did was just look at him. It was clear that he wasn't interested in the food but Chris didn't care anyway, and still gave him a plate. Today's "meal" was mashed potatoes. Except, the potatoes were soupy. And there seemed to have been something strangely colored on top of them. Which was the source of the putrid odor.

"Oh that's some special sauce. For added flavor!" Chris said when he felt Din and others looking at it.

Grogu tried to reach for the spoon, but Din stopped him.

"Trust me, you're better off not eating." Din said to him.

*Confessional*

Louie(Storm Kings):

"I honestly think this food could legitimately be used for germ warfare. That's how consistently bad some of these foods are. If it wasn't for those contracts, and also due to the fact that there's ways to circumvent eating it, one bite and that's an immediate lawsuit. Like I don't think I've smelled a food and it's made my stomach ache like this just did." He said before clutching it again. "Yeah, I don't think I can play the next challenge. And I really do mean it this time."

*End Confessional*

Breakers' Plane

Pilot: Launchpad

Their plane, along with the Rats', also experienced this change. Although unlike the Kings, neither team was given a prior warning.

"I honestly thought Launchpad did that for a second." Scratch said.

"You're not even affected by anything that happens to us anyway." Ayame said.

"What do you mean I'm not affected? I could have dropped my last pretzel!"

This comment only made Ayame sigh.

The food was served remotely via compartments that came out from above. Each plate being properly protected, leaving it to each individual person to unseal the food for themselves. And once they did, there wasn't a single person that didn't like what they saw.

"You know, I can't even be happy with this for a full day. Because I know the minute we lose, it's back to F-tier food." Fiona commented.

"Well then, let's not lose another one!" Kaz replied.

"Wishful thinking, but completely unrealistic."

"Unrealistic she says…." Kaz said before laughing out loud.

"Who else feels like he might have secretly taken one blow too many to the head?" Beta asked.

"From what? You're acting like he plays football." Tsukishima replied.

"Exactly."

Meanwhile, Reagan was conversing with Dwayne. "Looks like it's back to the drawing board." Dwayne said to her.

"Yep. For better and worse. On one hand, it's good that things get back moving again. On the other, you remember that we're getting the ball rolling again on this show."

"And that the ball could potentially crush you?" Mr. Wolf added, a seat ahead of them, being at the frontmost seat by himself.

"You know the worst part? It's hard to really say you're joking when that could actually happen." Reagan replied.

"Let's hope it happens to someone on another team and not us. And that they don't get injured. Definitely want to add that part in. Don't mind makin' people feel the pain here, but there's a difference between that and wanting to put someone on a stretcher." Dwayne said.

Seconds later, each plane went into a portal before exiting.

Marzipan City(Chowder)

Many of the buildings in this city had architecture similar to mosques, having many and towers and domes on top. The planes landed not too far from where a stadium was.

"Another stadium huh? What are we gonna do this time? Run a death maze?" Zak said sarcastically.

"No. But that's not a bad idea. Just follow me into the stadium." Chris said.

"You did it, didn't you?" Yang asked Weiss, a sly smirk on her face.

"No! Why-what is wrong with you!?" Weiss replied in disbelief that she would even suggest that. She whispered it in as low a voice as she possibly could, trying not to draw attention to them.

"Come on, it's not out of the possibility. Both you and his hair look messy? I can get him, but you? And having to do that much maintenance to fix it on the plane? And plus, how did you even know that that was what I was even talking about?"

"What else would you be talking about? My homework?"

"I dunno. Could be anything."

"Look, just know that that's not what happened. But…. I will concede that we were playing Yugioh when it happened."

"Yugioh? Like the card game Joey and Bakura play? Guessing the latter taught you."

"Yes. I couldn't really think of a game so I thought it would be fun to learn a new one."

"Okay. Who won?"

"Do you even have to ask?"

"Considering you're last experience in these types of games, yes."

"My last experience was a good one, if you've been paying attention."

"I mean the tabletop game. Not Bakugan."

"Again, I won. And caused him to…. what's the term that I hear some of you say when you're about to lose and you leave prior?"

"Surrender?"

"No, it's another one. I think I heard Toxsa say it a couple of times."

"Ohhh. Rage quit?"

"Yes. He rage quit on me."

"He did? You know what? I believe it. I still have no idea how a rage quit would lead to that though."

"I mean, crossovers can work, if it's done right. I don't think people understand how hard it is to write those compared to just one franchise by itself. You'd need to have a good understanding of how each franchise works." The two huntresses overheard Becky B. say to Bennett.

"That's why you get writers from both instead of just one." Young Bennett replied.

"Correction, some crossovers can work. There are some that can never, under any circumstances, ever logically work." Old Bennett said.

"I don't know. I think it's good to keep an open mind. It might not seem like it can work, but in the right hands, it most certainly can." Hailey said.

"This. It's all about execution for me." Riley said.

"Now if only Rick, Reagan and the Older Bennett could be that civil with each other." Yang commented as those four got further than them.

"It's funny. The children seem to be more mature than the adults at times." Weiss said. "Even Diana and Kageyama, despite what happened recently, they still seem to be fine with each other's company."

"Like I said, a few of the adults here could learn a lesson or two from them on how to handle disagreements. You wanna know my honest opinion? This could all be settled if they actually sat down and talked to each other. But, until they put their inventor pride aside, this is gonna keep happening. And people are going to continue to be annoyed by it."

"You're not?"

"In the beginning, yeah. But it doesn't really bother me now. Long as it doesn't go too far that is."

"And what's 'too far' in your book?"

"Them trying to legitimately hurt each other."

Several seconds later, they entered the stadium. And some of the occupants in the stands looked quite different than what they'd expect. And they for sure weren't fish like in the Fry Cook Games either.

"WOOOOOOOO!" One of the fanatical fans yelled out before doing it a second time. And then, gulping down water before doing it a third time.

"Can't say they're not excited." Kurt noted.

"Mung! They're here! They're here!" Chowder called out while carrying a box.

"Ah, so you've finally arr- wait a second, Chowder, what happened to the food!?" Mung Daal asked.

"I couldn't carry it. Remember?"

"What do you mean you couldn't carry it? You can't make sales without carrying the food!"

"Well yeah, but, I couldn't carry it. Honest!"

"And why not?"

"Because you told to me I had better bring this." He said, referring to the board game in his hand that said 'A-Game' on the cover of it.

"Wait, there's a real game called A-Game? I thought that was just an expression." Beta said.

"Me too." Scott said.

Mung could only facepalm, smacking his face hard. "Anyways, welcome Chris! Everyone! To Marzipan City!" Mung exclaimed. "I wish I could give you a tour of our fabulous city, but unfortunately, you don't have time for that! For today, you are here for one thing! To play the greatest game of all time! Field-Tournament-Style-Up-and-Down-On-The-Ground-Manja-Flanja-"

"Look, can we get to the-" Rally started.

"Shhhh! It's bad luck not to say the whole name."

"That's the name? Why is it so long?" Mamori asked.

"Don't! Say it!" Becky F. said, looking at the Seido catcher as she did.

"Doesn't matter why! Now don't interrupt! Now, let me start over. You're about to play Marzipan City's very own game of Field-Tournament-Style-Up-and-Down-On-The-Ground-Manja-Flanja-Blanja-Banja-Ishka-Bibble-Babble-Flabble-Doma-Roma-Floma-Boma-Jingle-Jangle-Every-Angle-Bricka-Bracka-Flacka-Stacka-Two-Ton-Rerun-Free-for-All-Big-Ball!"

"Are you done?" Sendo asked.

"Not yet! Now, I must-"

"WHAT THE HELL DO YOU MEAN YOU'RE NOT DONE YET!?"

"WOULD YOU STOP YELLING!?"

"I'M YELLING BECAUSE I WANNA GET TO THE GAME! NOT HEAR YOU BABBLE ON FOR TEN MINUTES ABOUT A DAMN GAME NAME! WHO EVEN NAMES THEIR GAME THIS!? JUST CALL IT FIELD TOURNAMENT OR SOMETHIN'!"

"You… YOUUUUUUU!" Mung yelled out, pointing at Sendo.

"I what!?"

"Say the whole name, now!"

"No!"

"You're going to get bad luck, I'm warning you!"

"If he says the name, can we get to the rules?" Lanolin asked.

"Yes. I was going to get to that. Before he rudely interrupted me."

"Wait, are you serious?" Sendo asked.

"Yes!"

"Oh. Well my bad then. I'm still not saying it though."

"Say it!" Several contestants said to him.

"Fine! I'll say the stupid name! Field-Tournament-Style-Up-and-Down-On-The-Ground-Manja-Flanja-Blanja-Banja-Ishka-Bibble-Babble-Flabble-Doma-Roma-Floma-Boma-Jingle-Jangle-Every-Angle-Bricka-Bracka-Flacka-Stacka-Two-Ton-Rerun-Free-for-All-Big-Ball! There? Happy?"

"You should be happy, not me."

"You said you'd get to explainin' the game."

"That's the beauty of it! Even if I didn't, you'd still be able to get into it. It's the confusion that makes it so great! Each team has to roll a ball as far down the field as possible, while fighting off the opposing team, who will try to block your way. But, the other team isn't the only thing you'll have to worry about. You'll need to avoid obstacles! Like poison-spitting snake pits! And poison-spitting alligator pits! And poison-spitting cat pits!"

"Why are there so many pits with poison-spitting animals? And why do the animals spit poison?" Kise asked.

"That's the least of your worries! You'll also need to watch out for the Flumper Bumpers!"

"This just sounds like a glorified obstacle course." Heloise said.

"Glorified-" Mung was at a loss for words. "Calling this game an obstacle course is doing it a disservice! Because unlike obstacle courses, this is chaotic! Unpredictable! And we all revel in the chaos! Anything can happen in Field-Tournament-Style-Up-and-Down-"

"We get it!" Several contestants yelled out.

"What did I tell you? Let me finish! It's bad luck if I don't!"

"I think it is pretty clear what we must do. Traverse these obstacles, stop the other teams from scoring and we will win." Rook said.

"Winning? Don't do that! You'll ruin the game if you do! No one wins in this game! It's the rules and regulations that matter! The chaos! The unpredictability that makes Field-Tournament-Style-Up-and-Down-On-The-Ground-Manja-Flanja-Blanja-Banja-Ishka-Bibble-"

Chris gave the signal to Chef who nodded. He left as Mung continued

"Boma-Jingle-Jangle-Every-Angle-Bricka-Bracka-Flacka-Stacka-Two-Ton-Rerun-"

Suddenly, Mung was knocked out.

"MUUUNG! WAKE UPPPPPPPP!" Chowder said, shaking him. "Who else am I gonna play A-Game with!? Because you know how Truffles is with games! And Schnitzel! Well…. I guess Schnitzel's okay. But still! WAKE UP MUNG! WE STILL HAVE TO MAKE THESE SALES!"

"He's not dead. But, he'll be out for a bit. Eh, I'd say, for an hour or two." Chris said.

"An hour or two!? Oh. Well that's actually not bad." Chowder said before dragging Mung behind him.

"Thanks for doing that." Emma said to Chris.

"No problem. Now, you know what to do. All you need to do is be the first team to score a point and you win."

"So how is last place gonna be determined?"

"Surprise! Today's a double elimination day! Score and your safe. You don't, you're gonna have to send someone home."

"Then we're going to have to make even more of a concerted effort to make sure no one else scores." Isagi said to his team.

"And because of how accessible this game is, we'll be doing random picks. Each team will have five players. You could have a coach if you want, but to me, it's not really required. Because again, pretty much anyone could play this."

"Have you played this before or something?" Doyle asked. "You seem like you know a little bit more about what goes on in this game."

"Nope. But I did watch a game prior just to have an idea of whether I wanted this to be a challenge or not. And by you being here you can figure out my verdict. And one more thing. Powers are okay! As long as they're not anything that can destroy the arena. There's nowhere else we can play this and I don't feel like trying to find a replacement challenge. So just don't go crazy like some of you have done in the past. I mean it. Alright?"

"You got it." Ben said.

"Got it." Zero added.

Everyone else showed some other form of understanding before the teams began to randomly be chosen.

*Confessional*

May(Radical Rats):

"We knocked out Mung before he could finish. Let's hope nothing bad happens. Knowing this show, the bad luck thing might be real."

*End Confessional*

*Confessional*

Chris:

"You know what? I'm not even gonna say anything. You'll find out when this is over." His grin was definitely hiding something.

*End Confessional*

The fifteen representatives were chosen.

For the Rats, Albedo, Kurt, Yulaw, Becky Botsford and May were chosen.

For the Kings, Din, Octavia, Sophie, Razer and Mayuzumi were chosen.

And finally, for the Breakers, Toxsa, Bass, Launch, Kunigami were chosen.

"Oh and one more thing, you're going to need to wear these hats, just so everyone can know who's who." Chris said before hats were suddenly shoved on all of their heads by Chef. They all had eyeholes for them to see out of, and each hat had the starting letter for their team names on them as well. Ones that were clearly not the right size for some of them.

"Is this really necessary?" Mayuzumi asked, annoyed.

"Yeah, he's got a point. We should already know who's on who's team by now." Becky B. agreed.

"Not for you. For the spectators." Chris said.

"Oh. I guess that makes sense. Since they've never seen us before today."

"Alright, you know your players. Everyone else, out of the playing field."

As the teams prepared to play, non-participating members got into the stands. "Hey Rook, did that Mung guy sound like Animo to you?" Ben asked him after they got there.

Rook was completely confused by the question. "Excuse me?"

"Dr. Animo? The Mung Daal guy. Do you think they sounded alike."

"Hmm, now that you mention it…."

"Considering what we've seen before, I wouldn't put it out of the question."

Sly, Yulaw and Kunigami were the ones that were chosen by their respective teams to stand on top of the balls.

"You guys better- *sneeze* try your best to help *sneeze* him out or *sneeze* please." Launch said, changing personalities constantly due to the smell of the food that was being served to the spectators bothering her nose.

"Don't worry, we got this." Toxsa said confidently as they all held paddles in their hands.

"You are the last person that should be saying something." Urien said to him.

"Why? Wouldn't have made a difference if you said it. Then again, you'd never say something like that."

"Just make sure you're out of my way when we get to the goal." Kunigami said to them.

"You got it."

*Confessional*

Toxsa(Wave Breakers):

"I hate that I get the draw with the people on this team with the worst personalities. Other than Launch. And what's even worse? If we don't win, I already know I'm gonna be the one to get eliminated next. So I know I've gotta bring my A-Game. No, not the board game. I mean the actual phrase. Something that I didn't even know existed until today."

*End Confessional*

"Fresh Mush puppies! Get your fresh Mush puppies here!" A short and pudgy mushroom pixie yelled out before getting to Chris and TD cast.

"I'll take one if you don't mind." Chris said before paying for one.

"Thank you! Also, what did you do with my husband?"

"Don't worry, it's taken care of."

Chris said before the scene changed to Mung being locked up in a closet and gagged for whenever he wakes up.

"Thank goodness! I love my husband but I was not about to hear him constantly nagging about….. you know what it is! I'm not about to say it!"

"That's cool. You weren't the only one."

"You just had better pay us for those missed sales!"

"I will. Once the game and the episode ends, I'll get right to that."

"And that's the other thing! You also had better make sure we're all out safe when that does happen."

"Safe? Chris, what is she talking about?" Jenny asked suspiciously.

Truffles could only look around for a couple of seconds before quickly getting out of the picture, speeding past Schnitzel.

"Radda radda(Truffles, you alright)?" Schnitzel, the rock monster asked Truffles, selling an assortment of deserts.

"I'm fine! Keep selling that food!" Truffles called out.

Schnitzel could only look at the screen, confused for a second before shrugging and going back to doing just that and grumbling to himself, "You know what? I think it's better off that I stay out of this episode" in "Radda"s.

"Relax. We'll be out before that happens anyway." Chris said to them.

"Chris. Answer the question." Courtney said.

"Because I know I'm going to get constantly asked this, I'll answer: If no one scores within an hour, the arena gets destroyed."

"What? Why?"

"Dunno. Shouldn't get to that point though."

"Why do you constantly feel the need to keep important information like that from us?" Lanolin asked.

"Like I said, with powers like yours at you guys' disposal, this really shouldn't take that long."

"And did you even consider the possibility that it just might?" Diana asked.

"A little. But hey, if it does, we can just say you all lose and you all have to send someone home!"

"How exactly did he get to host multiple seasons again?" Emma said to Courtney.

"Sometimes, I wonder that myself." She replied.

The fifteen were looking around, confused. In silence.

"So… when do we start?" May asked.

"I don't even see any referees." Sophie said.

"Yeah I think they might have overdid it with the chaos and confusion part." Rex said.

"Guys… just to let you know, Chris just told us that if we don't score within an hour, the stadium's going to be destroyed." Huey said to the five participating members. The other teams got a similar message from spectating teammates as well.

"By what? Why would- never mind." Octavia said.

"Won't matter if we don't even start." Kurt said.

"JUST GO ALREADY!" Launch and Hiruma yelled out, shooting guns to further emphasize their point. Though in Hiruma's case, it was a fake pistol that had a flag come out of it immediately afterwards. While this scared some people, on the flipside, it was enough to get the ball rolling, literally. A hand sent all three balls forward with a pool cue.

"Okay, the game's started. Now what?" Toxsa asked.

"We help him that's what! Now come on!" Launch replied before sneezing again as she took out a capsule that contained a motorcycle.

"Do you just have an infinite amount of those?"

"I really suggest that you get on. You'll probably fall behind if you don't."

"Tryin' to say I'm slow huh? And…. you'd be right." He said before ultimately deciding to get on the bike with her. "You don't happen to have a helmet do y-AHHHHHHH!" She sped off a couple of seconds later.

It didn't take long before the teams started to try to block each other's progress.

"Hmph. Try getting past this!" Urien said before putting up Aegis Reflectors to block the opposing teams' path. But, it didn't work. And he was flattened as a result. "Impossible! My Aegis Reflectors cannot be stopped!"

"How about instead of hiding behind your constructs, you do the work yourself?" Albedo said, running past him, before using Ultimate Humungosaur for his strength, completely halting both opposing teams' balls with the assistance of Becky, allowing their team to take the lead. Seconds later, Albedo was hit by a large red mace construct made by Razer, knocking him onto the ground and causing the ground to shake in the process.

Din, after being shot out of a cannon from the suggestion of Mayuzumi, looked as if he was about to collide into Becky, but she dodged it easily.

"Come on, you're going to have to do better than-" She realized that his real target was Yulaw, who was waiting for an old lady to cross on the course. But it was already too late.

"Why is this even on a course!?" Yulaw said, frustrated and annoyed. And he would be even more so when he would get knocked off the ball by Din via a direct hit and was sent crashing into a bench. He shook his head before getting up and running back to the ball.

With the help of Razer, the Kings were able to get back moving again with Sophie running aside Sly via the Hyperstride spell. They wouldn't be able to enjoy second for long as the Breakers' was sent flying ahead with the combined strength of Urien, Toxsa via the Power Glove and Bass.

"I can already tell that this isn't going to be enough." Octavia said.

"Sophie, why not use your Titans to help us?" Razer suggested.

Sophie snapped her fingers, a little surprised that she never thought of that herself. "Of course! Brilliant idea!" She then pulled out one of said titan amulets. "Fight with us! Sabr-"

She was interrupted before she could bring out said Titan by a smoke bomb from May, causing her to cough. The smoke bombs being launched by her from a cannon further back on the course.

"Bombs awayyyy!" May said, launching more of her bombs at opposing team members before Kurt himself was also launched ahead by her, but in his case, it was at Kunigami. Before Bass could shoot him out of the air, he was hit by a missile from Albedo, who was still Ultimate Humungosaur. His face showed that he wasn't exactly happy about that either.

The first thing he did though was fire a guided rocket at May to destroy the cannon she was firing from. She tried to time a shot to destroy the rocket, but Bass was smart enough to aim it at the ground, forcing her to move or risk getting caught in the explosion.

The second thing was dealing with Albedo.

"Get the hell off me!" Kunigami yelled out before pushing Kurt off.

He ran to get back to the ball but was tripped up. Kunigami turned and realized that it was Kurt that did it and grunted in anger before kicking him off. But, that still wouldn't be enough to get rid of the Teku racer. So he decided to send a message to him to convince him to give up in the form of an a*s-whoopin'. What he didn't expect was for Kurt to actually put up a fight back.

"Come on, you didn't actually think it would be that easy, did you?" Kurt said to him. The Blue Lock player had nothing to say, other than putting up a fighting stance.

While both of them were occupied in a fist-fight, Launch, still on her motorcycle, stopped next to the ball when she got to it.

"Kid, got on that ball!" She told Toxsa.

"Me? Hello? That's Kunigami's job. Not mine." Toxsa replied.

"Well consider yourself hired as his backup! So get to work!" She sneezed right afterwards. "This is the perfect time while people are distracted." She said, while looking at a now occupied Razer with Becky as they both were in an airborne battle, with her picking up the pool cue that was used earlier to hit Razer with. Octavia was seemingly stuck in a pinball loop after the ball she was on was hit by a missile by Albedo. As for Yulaw, Urien being sent flying should have been enough of an indicator on how he was feeling as the martial artist was knocked off the ball again.

"Ooh, right in the breadbasket too!" Chris said before the camera changed to Urien in an actual basket full of bread. He spit out the bread before destroying the whole basket via an explosive wave of electricity and sending food everywhere. Saying that he was p*ssed off was an understatement.

Din tried to prevent the Rats from even having a possibility of scoring by firing at their ball, but it didn't seem to have any effect on it.

Yulaw tried to wrestle him to the ground from behind but what he didn't expect was for the Mandalorian to anticipate this and hit him square in the chest with a no-look hit from the electro-bayonet of his sniper, shocking him. Despite having enough electricity being sent through his body that would probably knock out any normal man, Yulaw still tried to grab onto the weapon. And was able to, with Din prepared to use Whistling Bird munitions on his left vambrace to make sure he didn't have the chance to do anything else, but Yulaw was hit by a watermelon. He looked over and saw the source: It was Mayuzumi via a spoon catapult.

"Was that really necessary? I know he's stronger than a normal person but that doing that for that long could have possibly killed him." Huey said to him over comms as he went to help out a now dizzy Octavia.

"If it wasn't necessary, just know I wouldn't have done it." Din replied before getting to Octavia. "You alright?"

"Not really." She replied, still trying to regain her senses and not having her surroundings look like they were spinning.

"I'll take it from here for now. Just find a weapon and watch my back."

"Weapon?"

"Over there." He said, referring to where there were spoons being used as catapults. He looked and saw that Toxsa, while struggling, was starting to make up some ground on the course. "We don't have much time, go!"

She wasn't going to question it and just went to the catapults.

"Now that I think about it, if the objective is just score and you win, what's stopping anyone from just flying the ball in right now?" Axl reasoned.

"It would be nice to do that, but that would defeat the entire purpose of this being an obstacle course." Becky B. replied as she went to help up Yulaw, who immediately told her that he was fine and went to getting the back on the ball before being confronted by Urien. "Although, this does give me an idea…"

She quickly tried to intervene in the fight between Urien and Yulaw but was shocked as Urien slammed the ground, creating a pillar of lightning around himself to keep the two back.

"That fool flew right into her demise." Urien commented.

"And you're going to be next." Yulaw said before picking up an entire bench and swinging it at him. In this case, it wasn't a normal, short bench. It was one of the longer benches used for substitutions. Instead of dodging it, he tried to catch it with his bare hands. Which he was actually able to do. But with his own strength, and with the help of May lobbing a grenade from a distance to disorient Urien, Yulaw was able to overpower him and send him into a wall.

"Radda."(Jeez) Schnitzel said, as he was watching the competition.

"Hey! What happened to not being in the episode?" Truffles said to him, appearing out of nowhere.

"Radda radda! Ra radda radda ra radda!"(I'm not! I was just watching a bit!)

"Uh uh! Not being in the episode means no voluntary screentime! Can't have your cake and eat it too!"

"Radda radda radda."(Actually you can)

"Get back to work smart mouth!" Truffles yelled before continuing to sell food.

"Radda radda."(Yes ma'am)

"Considering the degree of difficulty of that throw due to distance and trajectory, I've gotta say that was pretty impressive." Myron commented.

"I think you're forgetting the fact that our team was the one that got affected by that throw." Hailey said to him.

"Oh…. Right." He replied, a slightly embarrassed look on his face.

"HEY! SOMEONE PUSH TOXSA FORWARD!" Miyuki shouted out.

"Hey! That's exactly what I was about to propose!" Becky B. said, immediately getting up after hearing this.

"Why would you say that out loud? Now the others are going to do the same thing." Kageyama said to him.

"To be fair, it's not exactly a groundbreaking idea."

"Even so, I really don't think yelling that out was necessary." Mr. Wolf said.

"Too bad that'll be easier said than done for us." Isagi said.

Meanwhile, Albedo was still fighting with Bass.

"I told you before that you wouldn't be able to compete with any of my Ultimate Forms if we ever crossed paths in battle. And just as I predicted, I was right!" Albedo said before sending missiles at him. Missiles that Bass was able to take out prematurely by sending flames forward from his arm via the Wave Burner attack. He then quickly raised an arm before calling down lightning strikes, electrifying Albedo and causing him to yell out in pain from the electricity. But also inadvertently shocking others or destroying other parts of the arena, including Toxsa, the person that was rolling the ball for their team, Kunigami and Kurt. The makeshift pineapple bomb that May made also blew up in her face. She blinked a couple of times in surprise before using a finger to take some of it off her face and taste it.

"That is absolutely disgusting." Rally said to her, right above her in the arena from where her seat was.

"What? It's not like I put in powder or anything like that. It was just a fun little pineapple bomb. No real explosive materials used. Or preservatives."

"Ha ha. Anyways, stop tasting your face and get back in the game."

"Alright, who forgot to use a surge protector?" Toxsa randomly said before falling to the ground.

Despite taking damage from the shock, Albedo wasn't down yet and punched Bass before punching him into the ground with his fist, causing it to shake and creating cracks in some areas of it, also causing some of the crowd to gasp in horror.

"Radda radda! Ra radda ra radda radda"(Come on! I'm supposed to be in the background man!)

"You idioooooots! You haven't even scored yet and you're already about to destroy the arena!" Truffle yelled out, trying to hold on to the food she was holding.

"IS THAT IT!? PATHETIC!" Albedo yelled out to Bass.

"Albedo! Look at what you're doing!" X said to him.

He looked around and realized the damage that he and some others were causing with the fighting. But this gave Bass the opportunity he needed to kick him right in the jaw as he summoned Treble before flying right into him, sending him into the sky and out of the arena.

"Bass you idiot! Get back down here and help!" Launch yelled out. But it was already too late. Either that, or he ignored her.

"I think it's best we finish this now before they come back and destroy the whole arena." Becky B. said, helping push Yulaw along.

"I have to agree." Sophie said as she did her best to help her three Titans Sabriel, Icarus and Feyone and Razer push their team's ball along.

"Gee, I sure wish I had teammates that were nice and willing to help so we can continue eating good food!" Bad Launch said sarcastically, having to get on the top of the ball and roll it forward herself as her team was either knocked out or occupied with fighting in the case of Bass. "Good freakin' grief." The second she sneezed again, she almost lost her balance and fell off. She sighed, having been glad to not have fallen off, but was hit by an egg, the source coming from Octavia.

"Whoops. Too far."

As for the other teams, they were stopped by a chicken crossing a road.

"This is getting ridiculous now. It'd be one thing if it was just the obstacles. But we have to deal with this and the fact that it feels like we're not making any progress." Yulaw said.

"I know it's frustrating. Especially with these….. odd obstacles. But we are making progress. This is an arena after all. It's not like this is outside or anything like that. There is an end." Becky B. said to him. A few seconds later, a whistle was blown. The source being Chef.

"Timeout on the field!" Chris called out.

"Wait, Chef was the referee this whole time? How come I didn't notice?" Scott asked.

"No. I don't think he was the referee until just now." Hailey said.

"Oh. So what's the official timeout for? Injury? Everyone seems to be okay."

"Nope. It's because of where the teams are at right now. So, I decided to call a quick official time out. We'll be right back. Probably by the time I say….. you know the name already, three times." Chris said before he began." Field-Tournament…."

"And now for a Total Drama Video Message From Home! To Isagi!" A picture of Isagi passionately celebrating a victory was shown.

Message Sender(s): Iyo & Issei Isagi

A middle-aged man and woman were seen on a screen. Behind them was a dinner table along with a couple of pictures on the wall further back.

"Yoichi! AKA our number one son!" Issei, Isagi's father exclaimed. Issei had black hair, blue eyes and wore black glasses with rectangular frames and had a stubble on his chin. He also wore a green vest over a black dress shirt.

"AKA the soon to be number one soccer star in the world!" Iyo added. Iyo had brown hair tied low into a bun and black eyes. Prominent wrinkles were seen on her face and she also had on a blue apron over a turtleneck. A mitt was in one of her hands.

"We're sorry it took us this long to get this video message to you. We've been trying to get it sent through multiple times but we kept getting told that they weren't accepting messages at the time and to come back later. I think this is our eighth time if I recall. I know we had to have gotten on their nerves recording and sending messages over and over again, but we knew one of 'em were going to get through and we weren't going to give up until it did."

"Hopefully you get this one or we'll have to record this again for the ninth time."

The camera changed to a rerun of an episode where Isagi playing in a challenge.

"Yep, we've been watching the show! And reruns on the episodes we've missed."

"Unfortunately though, we haven't recorded anything on the DVR yet. We want to save that extra space we got for your best moments later on in the season. Not to say what you've done so far isn't good."

"Not at all! And your teammates are just as great! They're lucky to have you just as you're lucky to have them! And I don't think we have to say anything about Bachira that we haven't said already. Gonna be honest though, I don't know if I'd fare well on this show myself. All those young legs….they'd run circles around this 46-year-old man." Issei laughed a little after.

"Whenever we can, we'll be sure to send some food over for you and your teammates to eat."

"We haven't figured out a way to do that yet, but we'll figure it out! Trust! Unfortunately, they said they're not permitting deliveries at this time either. But one more thing, I know we've said this a bunch already when it comes to you being at Blue Lock, but win or lose, highest moments, lowest moments, we'll still support you in all of them. Seeing you show so much passion in something you genuinely love is what makes us happy!" Issei said, a grin of joy on his face.

"That's right! We're just grateful to even see that you got accepted and compete."

"But don't worry though, this won't be the last you see if us. We'll try to get a call in on the next aftermath so we can talk to you and your teammates ourselves!"

Multiple beeps were heard. "And that's the curry!" Iyo exclaimed.

"And that's also our time too. And my time to enjoy your mother's cooking. Let us know if you get this message so we don't end up trying to make another one."

"Good luck to you and your team!"

*Message End*

"This has been a Total Drama Video Message From Home!"

Total Drama Short: Bringing the Heat

"I still fail to see the point of this." Albedo said.

"The point of this is to see who's flames are hotter. How are you not excited about this?" Kaz said, Galaxy Falgor in hand.

"Yes, you've already said that. And I still don't think it's valid reasoning. What purpose does this serve when more than likely, we'll never even all simultaneously use those abilities in the first place?"

"Why does everything have to be related to a challenge? It's just for fun." Ben said to him.

"You readily doing things like this with the Omnitrix is why I have constantly stated that you don't deserve it."

"You haven't exactly done things that have made me say you deserve it either. Or the Ultimatrix. Either version."

"Look man, if you don't want to do this, why don't you just leave?" Kaz said to Albedo bluntly.

"Let's not turn this into an argument guys." Bennett said, watching the competition.

"At the very least, keep it somewhat civil." Blaze said.

"Okay. But seriously though. If you don't see a point in playing why are you still here?" Kaz asked Albedo.

"To give you the quick answer to a question that I already know." He answered.

"Ya mean who's hotter? Don't think that's set in stone." Natsu said.

"Honestly, I'm kinda surprised Paul actually decided to do this." Ben said.

"I'm only doing this to gauge where Magmortar stands with the rest of you. My only problem with this is that it should have been done a lot earlier. Like when Rei was here." Paul said.

"True, but, no one ever thought of this idea until now." Huey said, spectating.

"Better late than never I say. And besides, we still have plenty of participants here." Myron said, laptop in hand, also spectating.

"Fair enough. But, can someone explain to me why he's here? And Doyle?" Paul said before looking at Kaz. Doyle, who was silently in the background, observed all of them with a large bottle in his hand.

"What do you mean 'why I'm here'? Because of Falgor, duh!" Kaz replied.

"I thought this competition was for those whose main abilities focus on fire."

"Come on Paul, I don't really see the big deal. I mean it uses fire, right?" Natsu said.

"But that's not it's main focus."

"'Main focus'. That's a load of baloney! I don't even get why Myron was so stuck on me not going either. We all use different elements along with whatever other things our machines specialize in. I use fire, Myron uses water, Diego uses rocks, Fiona uses lightning, and Shiro uses ice." Kaz said.

"While you do make a fair point, the correct term for Diego would be Earth. And even then, it's not its main function and specialty. Same with you Kaz. It's a lot different compared to me and Shiro, who bases most of our special abilities on using those elements. Especially Shiro. In Fiona, yours and Diego's case, it's only one or two of your abilities. That's why I was 'stuck on' you not participating. But because of how persistent you were about it, I decided to relent and allow you to participate." Myron said.

"Whatever. All that word salad just sounds like you're saying I don't understand my machine."

"Not what I'm saying. Look, let's just get started. So, the rules for this are simple. Each of you, one by one, are going to place a small flame in the area in front of you. We'll get a thermocouple probe to safely measure the temperature of the heat. For simplification purposes, we'll just use Fahrenheit. Highest temperature wins."

"As for Doyle, he's here because he wanted to help." Bennett said.

"Yep. Heard what you guys were planning on and I thought it was interesting. So I decided to make something to help put the fires out. Super Sub-zero temperature solution by the way. I say super because I know the flames you guys put out are extremely hot. Like….. never mind." Doyle said, deciding not to finish his last statement as he knew there was a good chance he'd regret it later.

"Anyways, I knew the Freeze Tech I made before wasn't going to be any help. Even….though that kinda had its own issues. Issues that I worked out too. Other than that, I'm just here to watch. Just pretend that I'm not here." Doyle said.

"Any questions before we start?"

"So who's going to be keeping track of this? As in writing down the temperatures?"

"All three of us are, actually." Bennett said before Edee flew past him. "Make that four."

"Oh so your assistant has decided to help you again?" Albedo asked him, noticing the return of Edee for the first time in a while.

"He's not an assistant. He's a friend. Who happens to assist me with things. Like now. And yeah, he'll be back helping us from this point forward."

"Wouldn't it be easier and quicker for all of us to just do it at once?" Natsu asked.

"No. One by one makes it easier for all of us to measure temperature and make sure your flames are at their peak temperature." Huey answered.

"Whatever floats your boat. Alright, so who goes first?"

"Any one of you are free to start." Myron said.

"Let's-" Albedo started.

"I'll start things off!" Kaz yelled out. "Let's go! Super Galaxy Magnum!"

Falgor shot a stream of fire forward before a large fire sprouted, catching him and the three recorders off guard.

"Kaz, you were supposed to create a small spot of fire!" Myron yelled.

"I only did it for a second!"

After the recording was made, the fire was put out with the ice solution that was made. Or at least they thought it was.

"Uh oh." Doyle said.

"I got it." Ben said before he and Albedo used Big Chill to put out the fire before it got worse.

"Well, at least we know who's the hottest so far." Ben said, returning to normal.

"So far." Albedo added, staying as Ultimate Big Chill as he believed reverting would be redundant.

"And also that Doyle's solution needs more work." Bennett said.

"Hey, I tried." Doyle said. "But yeah, guess not even science can stop the power of the supernatural."

"Agree to disagree, to an extent. Okay, who's gonna go next?" Huey said.

"How long you do it doesn't matter. It's how much." Blaze said to Kaz.

"Which shows a lack of control." Albedo said.

"Give all the criticism you want. We'll see who's laughing when they tell me the temperature!" Kaz said. But none was given. "Guys, what's the hold up?"

"We'll reveal who has the highest at the end. Just trust that we have it all recorded." Huey said.

"What do you mean at the end! Just do it one by one! You act like we can't figure out which number's the highest!"

"That's not the reason why. It's so you guys don't worry about numbers and just put your best foot forward. We'll take care of all that."

Next was Paul.

"Magmortar, stand by!" Paul said.

"You know, for a second I thought you were going to put the 'for battle' part. I was sure going to say something about it too because it wouldn't have made any sense." Ben said.

"Thanks for pointing out the obvious. Now, Magmortar, use flamethrower and make a small flame over there."

Unlike Falgor, Magmortar had success in doing just that, with the temperature being measured shortly after.

"Got it!" Bennett said before putting the flame out.

Next was Blaze, who was able to create a slightly smaller flame than Magmortar. Though the size didn't matter as it was proven to still be just as hot, if not hotter, than the two predecessors.

"You know what I just thought about? I could have just eaten those flames instead of letting you guys put them out." Natsu said.

"No, don't! If you do that, you'll mess up the experiment." Bennett said.

"Experiment? I thought this was a competition."

"That also doubles as a fun experiment." Huey said.

"Don't really see what you guys could use this for but whatever. If you don't want me to eat em, I won't." He then blew his own fire at the ground.

That was also recorded.

Doyle could only whistle at how hot each of the flames were so far.

Next was Ben.

"Okay, just to make sure you get varied results…. Gonna go with a childhood classic of mine." He chose Heatblast.

"I suppose that makes sense. Using an unevolved Methanosian would only help prove that the evolved form is superior." Albedo said.

"Yeah, pretty much." Ben, now as Heatblast said before creating a small fire on the ground. One that, after measured, was also put out by Albedo.

"Now, it's time to show you all who is superior. Observe!" Albedo said before choosing and changing into Ultimate Swampfire and creating blue flames on the ground.

"Wow. You changed the fire color. Big deal." Kaz said, waving it off. "Alright, now show em who's flames are the hottest. Clearly the guy that couldn't control them."

"Actually no Kaz. Your flames were actually the weakest out of all of them. Well, Falgor's to be specific." Myron said, looking at the results on his laptop.

The leader of Team JET couldn't believe it as he put his hands on the sides of his face. "What!? That can't be right!"

"I think we were pretty accurate." Bennett said.

"But, you don't know that for sure." Old Bennett said, popping in.

"How many times do I have to tell you. Stop doing that! One of these days it's going to get me, us, hurt!"

"How else am I supposed to appear!? Open a door that magically appears out of thin air and be like, 'kid, I'm here'!"

"What? That's ridiculous!"

"Exactly."

"Yeah, that didn't prove a point. You can still find some way to stop doing that."

"Or you can do a better job at paying attention and stop getting caught off guard." Old Bennett sighed. "Look, we're getting off topic. Do another trial run. That's literally scientific method 101. Hubris leads to mistakes. And mistakes will get someone or something hurt. Maybe not physically, but in one way or another."

Young Bennett lowered his eyes after hearing a comment like that from his older self. "You realize how ironic that statement is, right?"

"Just do another trial run!"

Another trial run was ran, and the results were pretty much the same for the most part. The only difference was that Natsu and Blaze switched places, the latter being higher than the former now.

"How!?" Kaz said, hands on his head now, in disbelief. "Who else here took on a guy like Ryu?"

"Technically multiple people here did." Natsu pointed out.

"Virtual doesn't count!"

"Actually, I think it does. As much as that stuff still confuses me, it looked pretty legit to me."

"Ryu looked to be pretty strong, but to use that when you needed to work together to beat him isn't exactly a good reasoning to claim the results weren't right." Blaze said. She wanted to say something else but decided not to, believing it wasn't her place to say something like that.

"Second, we've all faced some pretty strong people. Maybe not on the same level as Ryu, but still." Ben said.

"And third, that's pretty discrediting to us Kaz. When we were the ones that tried to hold him off initially so you could try to get to the finish line." Myron said, which was pretty similar to what Blaze was going to say, moreso about discrediting the people that helped him, especially his teammates than holding him off as she wasn't aware of that detail.

"Not to mention using a lack of self-control as a reason for being stronger is-" Paul started before Kaz had enough.

"Alright! Alright! I get it! What the heck is this, gang up on Kaz day? And another thing, how is this an experiment when you leave out Octavia? I can understand Rei since she's eliminated, but didn't she said she had some sort of fire powers too?"

"They're nowhere near developed compared you guys'." Huey said.

"So?"

"Your machine has the weakest flames. Accept it and stop trying to find excuses. Now, who had the strongest flames?" Albedo said.

"Not gonna lie, you definitely sound like you're trying to give the run around for why you think the results are wrong. They did it a second time, what else could you want?" Natsu said to him.

"How the heck is that an excuse!? And also-"

"Ultimate Swampfire was the clear winner here." Myron said.

"As expected." Albedo said.

" 'As expected'. Like you knew that yourself." Kaz said.

"To be fair, blue flames are factually hotter than the flames that you normally see." Huey said before Myron supplemented this by showing a chart on his laptop.

"Whatever. Don't get too full of yourself just because you won something like this Albedo. One, when the next aftermath comes around, I want to see Rei's flames measured. And two, that's not gonna change a thing when this show ends. Because you can believe that I'm gonna be number one!"

"Believe whatever you want to. And besides, this experiment is nowhere near perfect. I am almost certain that with the Emeralds that we saw Blaze possess, she could produce even hotter flames. And there's no telling how stronger Natsu could get, not from eating flames, but from tapping into that state he used against Vilius. And in the Mayhem game against Gorem." Albedo said.

"You mean Dragon Force?" Natsu asked. "You know what? I didn't even think about that."

"You're not wrong. But, I still think it works." Young Bennett said.

"The kid's right. For what it is now, it works as a sort of base experiment. As in, who is the hottest without any additional power boosting." Old Bennett said.

"Okay, so we clearly know who's first. Not gonna argue about that, since, the fact about Blue Flames actually is true. But who's- wait, where'd Paul go?" Ben said. The trainer and his Pokemon were nowhere in sight.

"I guess he left." Huey said.

"Probably after realizing he wasn't first. And you guys got on me. Least I didn't leave like a sore loser." Kaz said.

"Actually, you did sound like a sore loser." Old Bennett said.

"Says you."

"Says most of the other people here that also have the same opinion."

"And besides, he already made it clear why he wanted to participate. Once he heard the results he probably felt he had no other reason to stick around." Myron said.

"You can make up whatever reasons you want. He left!" Kaz said.

"Okay? I'm not exactly sure what your point is. I'm not staying here either." Young Benett said.

"My thoughts exactly." Albedo said before leaving.

"Neither am I. Not sure what I'm gonna do but, I'm sure I can find something around here." Natsu said.

"That's it! I can already tell what today is, so I'm outta here!" Kaz said before getting Falgor and leaving.

"What a baby." Old Bennett said. "I am absolutely perplexed how someone like that is a leader."

"Funny how you can say that with people a lot older than him around the world. And I'm not talking about anyone here before anyone thinks that." Doyle said.

"No, no, I think I understand what you mean completely. At the very least, Kaz can be excused because he's still a kid and he'll learn. Them? They should have grown out of that years ago. But anyways, seeing as we're done and there's no challenge, I think I'll take my leave. Til next time kid! Everyone." Old Bennett said before leaving.

"Well, I hate being the last person when it comes to stuff like this and then you're by yourself. It feels so weird. Not sure if anyone else feels like that but, I'm out too. Later." Ben said before leaving himself.

"That was certainly an interesting experiment. Do you think we have enough to try that with water or ice?" Huey asked Myron.

"Not sure. But it would be interesting. We already have a few. But what would we do with water? At least with ice we can find out who's the coldest." Myron replied.

"Hmm, we could brainstorm some ideas."

"Good idea."

"Well, you two have fun with that. I'll try to find something to keep myself busy." Bennett said before leaving, leaving only Myron and Huey left as they began to brainstorm ideas.

(The End)

*End Commercial Break*

---

When the show returned, the teams were shown to have all been at the same point on the course.

"Welcome back! And yeah, I was about to say the name three times before the commercial break ended. But anyways, with this intermission, all of the teams have been brought to the same point, with everyone that was unconscious now back awake and good to go. Or as best as they can be." Chris said as the effects of being shocked were still seen on Yulaw, Kurt, Kunigami, Becky, and Toxsa. Bass and Albedo were also back and broken up.

"Alright, this is it. You've got all your team members here. Now finish the job." Chris added.

"And this time, don't go off fightin' a pointless battle! Because if you do and we lose…. It's your a-" Before Launch could finish what she had to say, mainly to Bass, she sneezed again.

A whistle was suddenly blown by Chef and rackets suddenly launched all three balls forward, catching all three teams off guard.

"Come on, I hadn't even picked up the controller yet!" Toxsa yelled out, trying to desperately run to keep up.

"Grab on!" Launch said, reaching out her hand, one that he took before getting on the bike, with her help.

While putting the teams at the same spot again helped to even the playing field, the problem now was that every team had at least one person trying to attack the other teams and impede their progress, making traversing the remaining obstacles difficult, or even impossible. When they got to the poison-spitting animals, the Rats got stuck in one of the pits and the Breakers went too high on the last ramp because they were going too fast. The Kings completely missed the second one and went off course, crashing into a wall of the arena before Razer put them back on track. The same applied with the other teams, but the Kings were the first to do so.

"Duck!" Kurt called out with Yulaw ducking swinging flammers, a flatbread now modified to flatten those that were unlucky enough to duck in time. All teams were able to traverse through the sets of flammers safely.

Meanwhile, Hiruma had just come to a realization. But, he'd wait until they were closer to the goal before saying something.

The next obstacle was more hurdles that they needed to duck.

And the one after was an actual duck. Which was what pushed Urien over the edge and he shot at the duck, causing it to run in panic, but also allowing the teams to go forward.

"There's the goals!" Kurt called out, seeing each team's respective goals.

"Watch boy! Make the ball carriers go against each other!" Hiruma yelled out.

"Go against ea-" Albedo repeated before realizing what he meant. He went Ghostfreak and possessed Razer. While it seemed to have worked for a bit, creating a construct to block both the Kings and the Breakers' path, it dissipated seconds later. Razer held his head before Albedo was forced out seconds later. Disoriented and tangible, he was hit by Din, Bass, Urien and Razer himself, the combined hits knocking Albedo out, reverting him back to normal with him being unconscious.

"Now he sees how I felt getting kicked out of Shiro. Minus getting barraged like that. And in my case, freezing afterwards." Ben commented.

"Merriam-Botsford! Go!" Hiruma said.

"But-" She started to protest, knowing exactly what he meant. But she also knew that the other teams weren't that far behind. That would be put on hold when they got to the flumper bumpers. "Wait a second, I thought we-"

The teams were taken for one heck of a ride when they got to this section as they were constantly hit around like pinballs, also inadvertently hitting each other in the process, including those that were in the air.

"After….. you do that." Hiruma added, looking at the unsightly seen before him.

"Fun fact. Field-Tournament-" Chris started before facepalming. "Darn it! I forgot!"

"Go right on ahead. Jacks[censored]'s gonna happen to you." Rick said.

"Nah. I'd rather not take that chance. Weird stuff's happened this season already."

"You know this season's something else when even Chris is taking precaution." Weiss said.

Chris cleared his throat. "Fun fact. Field-Tournament-Style-"

*One game name later*

"- has always had two players. As you can see here, this game clearly was not designed for three in mind." Chris finished.

"Wait, run that by me again? I stopped listening after Jingle- whatever the heck this long a[censored] game name is." Aomine said.

"I said, Fie-"

*One additional game name later*

"Darn it! You did that on purpose didn't you?" Chris accused him after finishing his explanation again.

"What? No. Do you really think anyone here wants to hear you say that twice?"

"Oh."

"Don't even think about it." Reimu said, immediately covering Miyuki's mouth after he looked as if he was about to say something before she felt a wet sensation. "Did you just lick my hand!?"

"Fieldtournamentstyle-"

*One additional additional Big Ball*

Chowder took the time card away from the screen and gave it to Schnitzel along with a marker.

"Radda radda radda!"(I don't wanna write that out!) Schnitzel protested.

"You know what Mung said. Do it. That's the least you can do this episode." Chowder said.

"It's true. It's not like you did anything else." Truffles said, suddenly appearing.

"Radda radda radda ra radda radda!?"(Where do you keep coming from!?)

"Now you know how I feel with Kuroko/Tetsu." Aomine and Kagami said simultaneously to Schnitzel.

"Doesn't matter! Get writing!" Truffles ordered Schnitzel.

"Radda radda ra radda ra radda ra radda ra ra radda…." Schnitzel grumbled to himself as he began to write. Once he finished, he put the time card back on the screen.

*One additional additional Big Ball(A/N:"Big Ball" is crossed out) Field-Tournament-Style-Up-and-Down-On-The-Ground-Manja-Flanja-Blanja-Banja-Ishka-Bibble-Babble-Flabble-Doma-Roma-Floma-Boma-Jingle-Jangle-Every-Angle-Bricka-Bracka-Flacka-Stacka-Two-Ton-Rerun-Free-for-All-Big-Ball later. Please, no one else say the name, we're running out of time cards!*

Meanwhile, back in the closet he was trapped in, Mung began to slowly open his eyes. He was dazed before the sound of the crowd outside along with the fighting that was happening between the teams was what made him remember what was going on.

"I can feel it! Someone is trying to win!" Mung said aloud but all he heard was muffles. He also realized that it was dark.

Mung found the strength to break free before busting through the door, revealing that he was actually in the confessional.

The camera suddenly cut away from the show. "Huh. So that's why there were no confessionals." Kiwi, a stop-motion monster remarked, before flapping his arms.

Cutting back to the Sophie to use stopglue to try to hold back both balls. Urien would try to bulldoze her out of the way, but her Titans would protect her. Along with Razer, using a bubble construct to shield her.

"Out of my way!" Urien said, trying to bulldoze through them as well, but their combined strength would prove to be a problem for him, holding him back.

Bass would have an open shot at him but would get hit by a cannon from below by Mayuzumi. And multiple munitions were fired between Launch, Din and May, with Toxsa also contributing with his own blaster shots as Din tried to protect Octavia. Understanding the situation, he decided to send out Whistling Bird Muntions before he was overwhelmed, taking all three out. But not before May would leave a surprise of her own, creating smoke in front of Octavia in an attempt to try to slow her down in a last ditch effort.

"Keep going!" Din called out, being able to see through the smoke with his visor.

Seeing the chaos that was ensuing, and also thinking about the fact that the loss would possibly be pinned on her, the Lexiconian hero caved. "Okay! I'll do it! But if something goes wrong, let the record say i-"

"THROW THE F[CENSORED]ING BALL DAMN IT! WE'RE GOING TO LOSE!" Hiruma yelled out to the top of his lungs.

"Okay! Okay! Can't even get a please…" She quickly grabs the ball, overpowering anything Sophie could offer to keep her away and threw the ball like a baseball at a goal.

Din didn't even have a chance to turn around before being hit in the back by it.

Mung zipped in front of the ball, stick in hand as fire surrounded him, pointing it at it." YOU SHALL NOT PASS!" He slammed the ground but was immediately hit by the ball a split second after and was flattened.

Octavia didn't even get a chance to process what just happened before the ball went into the goal.

"GOAAAAAAAAAL!" A referee yelled out.

"NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!" Mung yelled out, as the whip cream beard that he got from running through a whip cream barrel disappeared, reaching a hand before he quickly got from between the wall and quickly ran back into the arena. "Run you fools!"

"Hey, where'd that referee come from?" Chowder asked before the arena started to shake with him and Truffles being taken by Chef and carried like footballs out of the arena.

"Radda radda ra radda!?"(What about me!?)

"I wonder what Chowder's selling?" Panini said to Endive.

"Whatever it is, it is insignificant. Because that's what he and Mung will be once we start sel-"

"Outta the way!" Chef yelled out, running with Chowder and Truffles.

"Hi Chowder!" Panini called out, waving.

"I'm not your boyfriend!" Chowder yelled back.

"What is-" Endive was trampled by multiple speedsters of the cast before the entire arena was lifted up by a giant turtle-monster rising from the ground, revealing that the whole arena was on top of his shell and threw I itnto the trash can seconds later. "Game Over." He said before walking away. "These guys don't ever learn do they?" He added.

"MUNG! SOMEHOW THIS IS YOUR FAULT! I KNOW IT!" Endive yelled out.

"Oh no! Don't blame me woman! I told them that you're not supposed to win in Field-Tournament-Style-Up-and-Down-On-The-"

All the contestants could do was give annoyed glares at Mung while he continued.

"-Blanja-Banja-Ishka-Bibble-Babble-"

Chris looked at his watch before tapping a foot on the ground, waiting for him to be finished.

"-Jingle-Jangle-Every-Angle-Bricka-Bracka-Flacka-Stacka-Two-Ton-Rerun-Free-for-All-Big-Ball! But nooooo! No one ever listens to me! Everyone thinks I'm crazy! Like I don't know what I'm talking about!"

"I don't think you're crazy." Chowder said to him.

"Of course you don't Chowder. I'm talking about everyone else!"

"When you say a long name like that over and over and over again like people want to hear it that many times, I don't think they're far off in saying you are." Tsukishima said.

"Oh yeah! I'm the crazy man! I'm the insane one!" Mung said before pointing a finger at him. "When youuuuuu are the ones that got the arena destroyed! Do you realize this is the second time this has ever happened in this game! Do you!?" Mung said, getting closer and closer in his face.

"I do know that there's a thing called personal space." He replied, pushing him away.

"Don't you try to preach to me specs!"

"It's not preaching. That's basic social skills."

"At the very least, we know we won. That's all that matters." Axl said.

"Actually, confession time, you didn't." Chris said.

Emma, both Beckys and Lucy laughed out for a few seconds.

"For a second there, I thought you said we didn't win." Becky B. said.

"Yeah. You didn't. Mung was right. You're not supposed to score in this game."

"What!? That doesn't even make any sense! How is anyone supposed to win then!?" Kurt said.

"You're not supposed to! That's literally what I have been trying to tell you from the beginning of this episode!" Mung said, up in arms.

"So if no one won, you basically just wasted our time. I don't get how that's supposed to be funny." Old Bennett said to Chris.

"That's because that's not why it's funny. It's funny because one, what happened in the challenge itself and two, it's because the winners are actually the losers of this challenge."

"Yeah. We get that. No one won. But what happened in the challenge itself still doesn't justify you wasting our time."

"No, no, no. Okay, so we're not sitting here all day, let me make this clear: The Kings and Breakers are the 'winners' for this challenge because they didn't score a point. The Rats are the 'losers' because they scored when in this game you're not supposed to score. There is no double elimination today. That also wasn't true."

"Are you kidding me!? Why wouldn't you tell us that from that get-go!? Literally no one here knew that. No one!" Emma said, visibly upset along with some of her teammates as well.

"Because if he told us that, the game wouldn't work." X surmised. "We'd all make a concerted effort not to score."

Emma put her hands in her face in frustration. "This game makes absolutely no sense. At all. And this is supposed to be great?"

"Yes! Yes it is! How dare you disrespect our sport!" Mung yelled.

"Chris, take us home. Now."

"Yeah. I don't think I wanna stay here any longer." Axl said.

"Hey, if you wanna get to being eliminated faster, be my guest." Chris said. "Rats get economy. Rest of you, first class!"

All contestants boarded their respective planes.

"And if you're gonna be disrespectful to our sportlike that, then you better stay out!" Mung yelled out as they took flight. "Hmph. How dare she be disrespectful to Field-Tournament-Style-Up-and-Down-On-The-Ground-"

Truffles knocked him out with a frying pan.

"Truffles, why'd you knock out Mung with a frying pan?"

"Because the show's over Chowder. The show's over." Truffles said, dragging Mung along.

"Our show's been over for 14 years. Now, let's get to the elimination!" Kiwi said before flapping his arms.

---

Total Drama Elimination Theme Plays

The teams were at the elimination ceremony on the island. A pinball machine could be seen beside Chris.

"Alright Rats." Chris started before seeing their faces. "Man you guys are mad."

"Get to the elimination already Chris." Rally said bluntly.

"Okay, okay. Look, if it makes you feel any better, next game's not gonna do that, alright?"

"You know what would make me feel better? If I didn't have to choose who to send home. Not because someone made a mistake. But because you decided in this one challenge, out of the hundreds you've done, to lie about the win conditions."

"You never even played in this challenge. So why are you even this upset?"

"Literally go back to what I just told you."

"Well, hate to disappoint you, but that's not happening. Besides, if I did that, then you'd complain about it wasting your time."

"True. Maybe this wasn't a good idea in the first place."

"To complain? Yeah, probably."

"No dumb-" She stopped herself. "Get to the voting."

"Chef?"

Chef cleared his throat. "If you're safe, you get a Flarshmallow."

"Don't you mean marshmallow?" Natsu corrected.

"Nope." He showed them and how those were a lot more diverse. One being a rainbow. One being a four-leaf clover. And another being in the shape of a crowd. "Courtesy of Ms. Endive."

"Yulaw, you're safe! Which marshmallow do you want?"

"I don't care." Yulaw said bluntly. He was annoyed. From the game, and from learning that they had lost. If it wasn't for the fact that doing it would have obvious consequences, he would have, at the very least, seriously hurt Chris.

He got the cloud Flarshmallow.

"May!"

"Four-leaf clover please!"

"At least one person's in spirits." Chris said.

"Oh don't confuse that for me being happy. I'm just as annoyed as the rest."

"Huh. Can't tell. Good to know."

"Hiruma!"

He only silently caught it before closing his eyes. "Manajerk, here." He tossed the star Flarshmallow to her.

"Thanks." She said before eating the marshmallow seconds later.

"By the way, the reason why you're-" Chef started before Hiruma put up a hand to stop him.

"Save it. I already know why." Hiruma said.

"Okay then."

….

….

….

"Becky, you're safe!"

"I wanted the star but…. you gave it to Hiruma… I guess I can take the rainbow." She said before said Flarshmallow was tossed to her.

"Albedo and Kurt! You're the last two!"

"Albedo, your decisions to battle Bass to that extent, if it were a game that you lost because the other team scored, would have been considered something that costed the team. Not to mention you contributed in some of the collateral damage caused before the game ended."

"But it didn't. Your point?" Albedo said.

"Some of your teammates believe your actions should have consequences."

"Not exactly a good argument to stand on when that doesn't work here. I'm not why we're sitting here right now. Chris is. And this isn't me making excuses. That is factual."

"Talk to your teammates about that. Not me. I'm just readin' the votes."

"Kurt. Not exactly a noteworthy performance for you today. Nothing bad but nothing good either."

"Let's be honest, the only reason I'm even here is because I'm the only one without abilities, and the fact that I'm by myself." Kurt said bluntly.

"Hey, he said it, not me. The final flarshmallow goes too…"

….

….

….

….

….

….

….

….

….

….

….

….

….

"Albedo!"

He caught the final Flarshmallow, which was a watermelon, oddly enough.

"Kurt! The road ends here for you man." Chris said, with Kurt only shaking his head.

*Confessional*

Lanolin(Radical Rats):

"Chris was somewhat right. I voted for him because of that, but moreso as a warning as opposed to wanting him gone. I know that doesn't make sense but, hopefully Albedo gets the message after this."

*End Confessional*

When he got his things, Albedo got up.

"Kurt." Albedo started, with Kurt looking his way. He was half-expecting a remark of him bragging about him staying in the game over him. "I'm sorry for what happened today."

"Don't be. It's not your fault. It's no one's. I don't want anybody trying to throw me some pity party." Kurt said before looking around for the boat to go home. Or the portal. "Chris?"

The next thing he knew, a white ball fell on top of him. "Chris! What is this!?" Kurt said, unable to get free. The next thing he knew, he was flying in the air, using a large racket from Heloise, after enlarging a regular-sized one, was swung to send it flying. The racket was held by a large, remote-controlled glove.
The ball was hit a few times before it was spiked back down on the ground as he was put into the now enlarged pinball machine from earlier. The same pinball machine that was last used in the Wheel of Misfortune challenge before he was launched out by the racket into the air with a portal appearing.

The only reason why he wouldn't be trapped for a while was because his brother Mark happened to be around.

"What in the-" Wylde said, surprised. The coughing and groaning gave him the clue that it was his brother in the ball.

"Kurt! I'm gonna get you out." He prepares to punch the ball to break him out. "The one episode I miss…."

He'd let him catch his breath. They had a good bit to talk about when he did….

"The rest of you are safe! For now." Chris said.

"Chris, word of advice. Don't ever do something like this again." Rally said.

"Thanks but, no promises." This response only caused her to roll her eyes.

"And with that, another contestant has been eliminated from the race to 10 mil.! Who's gone next? Will they forgive me for what happened today? Find out on the next exciting episode of Total….Drama….Across the Multiverse!"

---

A/N: Yep, Kurt had to take the fall because of Chris' lie unfortunately. Would be interesting to see how things would have turned out for the Teku Racer if Chris didn't decide to pull something like this. But the Rats got robbed, plain and simple. And no one is happy about it.

Next episode won't be any of that, that's for sure, so Chris is telling the truth about that one. Now the remaining competitors go to the Boiling Isles, the place where previous winner Luz, got to learn magic! See you there!
