Total Drama X: Crossed Trees

by thenewsubwayguy

After a five years of annoying the producers, Chris finally has his first crossover season in 2021 before even Ultimate Islands and has the chance to put 51 contestants through the hardest summer camp on an island where the trees cross. There will be drama, there will be love, there will be fighting and all for 2 million dollars! Who's gonna win here? TDX Season 1

7. Episode 2: Diving Into Elimination

Total Drama X: Crossed Trees
Episode 2: Diving Into Elimination

WOW, IT TOOK TWO MONTHS TO FINISH ONE CHAPTER! This ain't boding well for me.

While these guys have gotten introduced, the first challenge from Total Drama (and nearly half a dozen Total Drama crossovers) comes back in a whole new form with the lack of teams and the potential factor of simple elimination!

Plus they have to swim into waters that sharks really like and you'll really get the fullest intro to this massive cast of character thanks to both halves of the challenge being very different.

Either way, there's no teams for a very good reason and also, it takes place in early 2021 for timeline clarification (again) and sorry for randomly introducing Schezo.

More importantly, unlike my first attempt at a season, every contestant here will be all that's competiting for this edition of the prize.

Random guest: Apparently 2025 is Bone's year in these fics, though Star Carnival isn't happening for a good while.

Goodguygary: Updated that mistake out of CH 1, obviously.

The cliff that the campers were on had chalk-like rocks that acted like normal rocks on its face and it was at the southeastern side of the island, where the whole ground basically sloped up to said cliff, which jutted out from the main island.

Mikey and Senku were staring down at the cliff in wonder and then backed away to join the rest of the campers for Chris introducing the challenge.

"The challenge is simple! Dive down this 1000-foot cliff and land in this ring! The inner ring is safe and outside of that ring in the outer ring, there might be a few things waiting to snap you!"

Shadow bore witness to the sharks that were excited for some exotic meat and looked away from him.

"Whoever would dive from an absurd height for an indeterminate prize?" Shadow scoffed.

"That's okay. Then you're a chicken, wear this very embarrassing hat and you're not qualified for the second part of the challenge! In addition, those who also fall outside of the ring will not be qualified for the other challenge, so it's up to you wherever you want to risk it for that other half or safely await your elimination!"

"Is this really safe? Could we die here?" Rengoku asked confidently.

"Yeah, a couple of interns tested it out and they were in the hospital, but they healed. No pressure! By the way, there's no set order, this half of the challenge finishes when everyone's done this!"

---

The 51 campers were either deciding their order, wanting to not get torn up by the sharks or figuring out which stylish dive they could really do and one of them looked down at the cliff.

"First the crummy spring camp and now this challenge where I have to dive into water?" Boscha asked. "If this is supposed to impress me, consider me unimpressed."

"Wait, do you not want to dive into this shark-infested water?" Daybreak quipped.

"I absolutely could, I just don't want to!"

Daybreak was in a wetsuit.

"Suit yourself, three-eyed lady!"

Daybreak was stretching himself to ease his fall.

"This Joel guy thinks he's a cool-looking guy. Wario's cooler!" Wario bragged.

"He is pretty cool, even if he's a terrible secret agent!" Marshall said.

Daybreak took the dive and quite simply, he had landed inside of the ring.

Wario and Marshall just had to clap.

"Thank you, thank you, I made it look easy!"

"Shut up, Wario's gonna join you down there!"

Wario also took a dive and also landed inside the ring and made Daybreak somehow cuter to the female onlookers up top as he waved.

King shook her head.

*King's confessional*

"Damn he's a hot guy, but I can tell he is one of those guys who think he's a smart guy, when he's more so an good-looking fella who's bad with women...and definitely his job too."

*Confessional cut*

"So, who's next?" King asked. "I can wait-"

"AHHHHHH!" Glendale screamed all of the way down, as she pushed past King.

Glendale also landed in the safe ring, with all of the weirded out dudes.

"Well, that was weird. At least, I can get my turn-"

Blanka screamed for no reason, as he did his deadly dive just outside of the circle and was in the middle of fighting a shark.

King didn't want to say anything else, as she dove to see Blanka having fun fighting the shark.

"Uwoh! Shark man, I'm so glad I could meet you!" Blanka introduced himself to a four-limbed shark. "Can we be friends?"

Said shark rebuffed him, but King was inside the ring and didn't need to worry about the jungle boy.

"Shark man, what is your problem!"

Blanka and said four-limbed shark weren't getting along too well, as King then saw Eggman take a dive and cause a decently big wave to the surprise of not many people.

Well, besides Lola.

"Oh my gosh, there's a shark and a fat man!" Lola called out.

"That was a redundant announcement." Schezo remarked.

"Ah, so you guys met Fang! Fang, Blanka, Blanka, Fang!"

Blanka then ran out of the water, as King and Eggman then left almost as quickly, leaving to a cavalcade of divers eager to take the water.

"YEAAAAAHHHH!" Cuphead screamed, as he landed in the ring.

"AHHHHH!" Shaggy shouted, also landing in the ring. "Wait, it's fine!"

Unfortunately, Shrek landed on top of the surfer-looking scaredy cat and Shaggy rose up from the water.

"I'm sorry for disturbing you!" Shaggy screamed.

"The hell did I ever do to you?" Shrek questioned.

Shrek's bafflement and Shaggy's fear, only lasted as long as Anne Maria's quick dive.

Also, Anne Maria was quickly followed by a confident Kitty.

"How is he still alive?!" Anne Maria questioned.

"I know, right!" Kitty agreed.

Also, Shadow easily dropped into the ocean with a teleport casually, (Coney the) Shy Guy was spiralling down into the ground in an awkward manner, Coco casually dived with a snorkel for some reason and finally, Bang landed in the water.

The ninja was surprised to see that he was outside.

"Oooh, you've got some good company, Bang!"

Blanka was fighting Fang in the water.

"Well, justice wasn't made in one day." Bang remarked. "Blanka, no!"

And then there were several people looking down at the water, Serena included, who were weighing their options.

"Hold on, how strong are the Sharpedos?" Serena asked. "Because they are strong."

"Can't believe I got called out considering I could've been made in one hand, but kudos to those awesome twosomes." Justice got slapped by Serena.

Blanka and Bang were running away from the sharks that crept up on, as if they managed to run on the water.

"I absolutely could do it and swimming isn't something I'm bad at, but...uh, it's complicated."

"Hey, I'm going to join in this water to see if I die." Joan said flatly. "See ya."

"Goodbye, Joan?"

Serena was getting a lot of judgemental looks, as Abe quickly followed his friend right into the open ocean without a jump and it all went very wrong there, as Joan was looking down at the ring.

"HEY, JOAN!" Abe called out, somehow pushing Joan out.

Joan landed so far outside of the ring that she actually landed on a shark, Abe landing in the ring.

"Hey, random shark guy! Give back my friend!" Abe said, as if he didn't bump into said friend.

Joan then got thrown off the shark into the part of beach where Bang and Blanka was.

*Serena's confessional*

"What just happened? I can't believe with my own eyes that this Abe guy accidentally put that Joan lady on the Sharpedo and then she got thrown onto the beach. Maybe these Sharpedos are nicer than I thought?"

*Confessional cut*

Boscha and Rengoku were somehow situated together, as the demon and demon slayer were standing together.

"Why are you standing here?" Boscha questioned Rengoku.

"Because it is my duty to support someone who cannot swim and also, I might not be able to swim." Rengoku answered.

"Uh, obviously, your brain can't comprehend the fact that I can swim."

"Oh, okay. I cannot swim, my apologies!"

Rengoku got the hat placed on him, as Chris pulled up one.

"And that's one chicken for now! Rengoku, you'll stand up here in shame!" Chris announced, as Rengoku shook his head. "And there is no way that the number of chickens will rise!"

Chris couldn't keep the laugh in, as Boscha walked up to the cliff and looked down at the water, as Baldi joined her in a jumpscare of a moment.

"Sorry." Baldi meekly apologised.

"MY TITAN, you're as scary as you are ugly sometimes. I'm looking down at the water for obvious reasons." Boscha said.

"Judging the angle and the approach of your jump?" Baldi said. "Finding out the sine and cosine-"

"I'm just judging the water. You don't need to look deep into meaningless actions." Boscha scoffed.

"Alright, if you're scared of the water, then don't be afraid to say so."

Boscha didn't want the chicken, but she did allow Kitana and Madam Mim to take a dive into the inner ring, thanks to her refusal to tread the almost tamed waters of the ocean.

Speaking of the ocean, Marshall Law finally took his time and it was very much not what you expected from a martial arts master thanks to him hitting the water with the splits.

No matter what, it'd hurt to land like that, Chris and Chef still cringing.

"HOLY SHIT!" Denji yelped.

"What the fuck was that?!" Mikey practically blurted out.

Marshall got a sympathy look from Kitana and Madam Mim was just laughing her butt off.

"Just because you can dive doesn't mean you reserve the right to be rude." Kitana chided the old woman.

"Oh, shush, I earned this right, alright!" Madam Mim rebutted.

"And it still hurts nearly fifteen years later! But the challenge still goes on!"

Cruella looked quite angry, as she swiped the hat and ruined her look.

"This challenge is too dreadful for my fashion and having sharks like those? Ridiculous." Cruella explained herself. "I can swim, but my fashion comes first."

"That is pretty uncool actually." Emmet spoke up.

"Listen, you construction worker with a rock stuck to your back, you do not understand such a personal gripe of mine."

"I dunno, it's messed up to miss out on a challenge because of fashion."

Cruella raised an eyebrow, as Emmet couldn't be more excited.

"AHHHHHHHHH!"

Emmet screamed all of the way, but he definitely landed in the water.

"I don't know why I'm so excited to land in this water, it's very uncomfortable!"

Denji and Mikey were reconsidering every value they had in life.

*Mikey's confessional*

He sat with his legs to the wall.

"I'm not letting my first impression be that of a pussy who can't swim." Mikey said with a grimace. "This piece of shit, Chris, decides to pluck me for some kind of insane diving challenge."

*Confessional cut*

Denji easily took the hat, as he enjoyed it.

"Looks like the chickens are stacking up, wondering who could be next!"

"Oh, okay, it won't be me." Jonesy said. "I'm ready."

"I'm not ready, but I'm bouta jump off this cliff!" Bowser Jr. declared. "My dad taught me not to be scared."

"Wow, little turtle kid, you're not a wuss!"

Bowser Jr. actually did the deed and unsurprisingly, almost didn't succeed by letting his shell hit the buoy and send him into the ring.

"Oh my gosh." Lola let out.

"Nah, he's gonna be cool."

And the kid prince rose up a little hurt up by the buoy hit, but he was swimming fine.

"What's up, losers, I'm fine."

"I thought his name was Bowser Jr, though." Lola looked surprised. "Now his name's Fine."

"I'm pretty sure that his name's still Bowser Jr." Jonesy explained. "Where's your boyfriend?"

"Oh, he's at home enjoying his time with Daffy, who did say that longing makes someone love their partner more!"

"Yeah, don't listen to that guy."

He took a few more looks at the sharks that were literally waiting for him to flop into the outer ring and had an epiphany in the end, as the slacker couldn't really do it.

"Sorry, I can't do it. I'm not interested in dying."

"Actually, I cannot swim. That is an objective truth that I am willing to overcome, though." Lena spoke up. "I should hope that doesn't give me a bad reputation."

"It probably will, Lena and Jonesy." Chris plopped the hats on them both, as Roxanne sighed. "Roxanne, what's the problem?"

"Listen, I'm an animatronic. That is the only reason why I'm taking this loser's hat as a future challenge winner."

"Sure you are!"

Roxanne groaned, as she joined the eclectic group of Cruella, Jonesy, Lena, Rengoku and Denji, who were attempting to wave to her.

"This challenge is positively rancid for me and my fashion." Cruella remarked.

"Your fashion's literally just fur coats." Roxanne said. "Also, you can take it, I can't turn into a wolf or something."

"Then you do not understand a woman's needs."

"My fans don't care about your bizarre needs, so I don't."

And the group actually had one more member join its ranks due to him analysing his weaknesses.

"Whoa, science guy Senku's here, too!" Roxanne told him.

"I evaluated all of the options and the sheer likelihood of me making that inner ring was basically slim to none. And not to mention, the host is apparently wording things strangely." Senku told his observations. "So, I think it will not be that serious."

The other chickens were not impressed by his conclusions.

"Just say that you were a wuss and I wouldn't judge you, wuss." Roxanne sniped at the genius.

"Stop explaining your cowardice." Schezo said. "These sharks will never get inside you."

Everybody that was still on top of the cliff were gobsmacked.

"Good job, Schezo!"

*Lena's confessional*

"He did not have to say all of that to justify not diving nearly a thousand feet into shark-infested waters, because if there was no ring, there would be a lot less people diving in there. I do understand Senku, though I should learn how to swim."

She looked embarrassed.

"And learned how to make Schezo use his dictionary properly."

*Roxanne's confessional*

"Day one and already Mr. Nobel Prize and Mr. White Knight are acting like comedic relief, one with the stupidest explanation about not diving and the other who thinks that ladies are lining up for him!"

*Confessional cut*

Mirko dived with quite the wide grin on her face.

Golf Ball practically had the opposite expression, despite lacking arms.

Steve had raw determination and the willpower to deal with wet clothes.

Matthew also had a maddening grin, as the Indian-Canadian man was a little surprised by the block man.

And surprisingly, Serena, Jane and Slappy were all hanging near the edge for no reason at all.

"Okay, I'm ready to do this thing. Still don't know you called me and her over." Serena said. "We're just diving into a bunch of Sharpedos."

"They're called sharks here, darling."

"Listen, you talking Pokemon, you are probably right. I don't know why you talk, though?"

"Because I can."

Slappy then just dived down quite quickly, as Jane looked a little concerned and then easily hid it from Serena with a neutral look, who followed up the dive.

Serena looked wet, but happy.

"See, it's not so bad!" Serena shouted.

"Honestly, I've swam in worse waters."

Jane made this comment before she dived right along aside Serena.

"Well, we're reunited as a duo."

"Geez, you've heard of personal space, right?" Serena pushed Jane, slightly offended at the sudden closeness. "Also, how does Golf Ball survive?"

"She adapted to her disability, obviously."

Serena and Jane left the place, leaving a decent few that were still on top of the cliff with their whole lives coming up to this odd point.

Mikey and Boscha had the same kind of struggle.

"What's up, bad boy, are you scared of my witchy abilities?" Boscha questioned. "And my magic."

"No fucking way, I can't swim in this ocean." and I can't let my friends see me in a chicken hat or a duck floatie, but I could easily kick your ass no problem." Mikey said, standing up tall.

As tall as a 5'4'' guy could be standing up to Boscha.

"What? I thought you were a gentleman."

"I don't beat up girls really, you stupid witch."

Mikey looked up to see that a hat came on his head.

"Sorry, you admitted that you can't swim in this challenge! Boscha, just accept this, it will make it much easier for everyone." Chris held a hat over Boscha's head.

"Listen, the water in my world is constantly boiling, human." Boscha just grabbed it forcefully.

Chris cringed at Boscha's anger.

"Yeesh, touchy!"

*Mikey's confessional*

He wasn't smiling any more with that chicken hat.

"I'm kicking the host's ass and no-one's gonna stop me from doing it!"

*Confessional cut*

---

There were not many more players left taking the plunge and the rest were either considering signing a warrant for their lives or trying to strategize their way into the inner ring.

Minus Kagero, who was looking over the cliff for some reason and got inspired.

"You got some sun in your eyes or something?" Katie Mitchell could only ask.

"No, it's just that it inspired me." Kagero said. "Nothing more."

"Right."

Justice just walked into the conversation, as Kagero just waited for Katie to answer.

"I bet she's inspired by those sharks down there." Justice barged in with some words of wisdom.

"Are you sure she's not scared of the water?" Katie questioned Justice.

"She's a real ninja and real ninjas are not scared of the water!" Justice called out. "Kagero, show 'em."

Kagero had already done her dive by the time Justice wanted to prove them right.

"Oh wow, she is a real one alright!"

"Watch this, I'm about to join her!" Katie declared. "Is your name Justice?"

"Yeah, it is!"

Katie had also joined Kagero in the inner ring, as Baldi and Justice were stuck on top of the cliff wondering something.

"Do you think that sharks like blind people?" Justice asked.

"Considering that these sharks were made to like human meat, it's not impossible." Baldi explained. "But more than likely, no."

"Wow, that is a fact?"

"Yeah, ya blind demon." Chuck got in the way. "Can I just take a dive."

"Sure, you can!" Baldi beamed, Justice still getting the stink eye.

Chuck Greene then landed in the outer ring and desperately swam away from the sharks, who were even slowing down to make sure that he had a relief from the fear.

And then the sharks were hot on his trail again, as Baldi and Justice slowly walked back to join the somewhat numerous chickens.

"Damn, this is embarrassing. I could've taken 'em on." Justice complained.

"But what matters more is that you're alive and that you can do math." Baldi answered. "Your safety matters first."

"And then there were two more! But there aren't many more contestants left and some of them may be scared!"

Schezo stepped up in his swim trunks.

"Ah-ha, but my fear is outweighed by my honor."

"Go honour your mom, will ya?" Cuphead mocked Schezo.

"Yes, I will honour my mother with this dive!"

cut*

Schezo was swimming with such ferocity that it could be mistaken for fear only by a layman, as he managed to dive out of the inner ring to meet the shark.

"Damn, his mom musta been a crazy one!" Cuphead shouted.

"As a demon, I will say that she's definitively kinda insane." Justice added in for some reason. "The guy said some wacky stuff."

*Lord Dominator's confessional*

"Seriously, those people are still scared of small-scale predators. I'm a way bigger predator than them and I don't really need to swim, just wanted to watch the failures fail a little bit." She was putting on her thinking cap. "Wow, I was missing out!"

*Confessional cut*

Lola took a simple dive and landed in the safe ring and 2D was sweating a little bit.

"Do you ever get the feeling you could die?" 2D asked.

"Of course, I'm just too powerful for that." Lord Dominator bragged.

"Hey, you're a very pretty lady, mate!"

"Uh, thank you, now watch this!"

Dominator just took a bomb dive down into the inner ring and then seemingly just went through it.

"Mate, she could've died!" 2D squawked in worry.

"Aye had a feeling that she wasn't dead." Merida said, seeing some heat come out of the water. "Or these sharks are-"

Dominator floated in the water to scare the two Brits even further, as she basically made her way to the shore casually, pissing off Merida a fair amount.

"Oh, phew, I'm glad she's alive!" 2D declared.

"Well, I don't mind her not being at the bottom of the sea." Merida said with a hint of bitterness. "Still though-"

Merida just suddenly took the plunge, as she landed in the outer ring.

"Cannae believe that she said these things are hungry for me."

Merida got the fear of God inside her and decided to swim for it, as 2D basically joined his green-skinned hottie in getting into the inner ring.

*2D's confessional*

"I was flippin' scared of the sharks and then I landed inside that ring and mate, they were still scary inside there, just not ready to snap at me! Nothing bad happened."

*Confessional cut*

And then there was only a few left, them being Baije, Queen and Cuphead and all of them shared the same decision.

"Listen, I'm diving if it costs me my life!" Cuphead shouted.

"Then I will do the same." Bajie answered.

"I Cannot Because I Am A Computer and My Circuits Will Be All Messed Up Like Nothing Else If I Dive!" Queen answered nervously.

Cuphead and Bajie looked at her like she was crazy.

And then they did their dive, determined to not lose their chance of getting immunity and Queen decided to slowly walk backwards and gain an absurd amount of attention from the remaining players.

"And that's everybody! You chickens could've dived into the inner ring and be in the next part of the challenge, but you chickened out!"

Boscha and Mikey glared at each other and then glared at Chris.

"I know some of you could've died if you went in that water, but I'm not mad about it! Mostly because it's really funny!"

"Hey, it's not that funny!" Denji shouted.

"But Like, What If It Was?" Queen asked. "I'm A Computer, Boscha's Place Has Got Boiling Water, Roxanne Is A Lesser Computer and Justice Is Blind, But You Guys Can't Dive For Some Reason."

"What do you mean, lesser computer?!" Roxanne growled, crackling her mechanical circuit.

"Oh My Circuits, I Have To Find A Stove!"

Queen then ran behind a bunch of rocks.

"Listen, all of you chickens, you gotta hop into the bug-infested cabin for no reason at all! The rest of the divers are gonna do the second half of the challenge!" Chris announced. "Which is gonna be awesome enough for you guys to miss!"

Queen, Denji, Mikey, Justice, Baldi, Boscha, Senku, Vladilena, Jonesy, Cruella and Rengoku were stuck dealing with bugs, embarrassment and also each other.

"Anywho, this random intern is gonna pull all of you back towards the bathrooms and that awesome cabin!"

"Can you believe someone such as myself living in such terrible accommodations? And there is nowhere near enough places to store all of my dear fur coats?" Cruella complained to no-one in particular.

"I agree that is quite a terrible thing! I respect your drive to always look your best in a show such as this!" Rengoku agreed somehow.

"Oh, you charming man with a bizarre bunch of hair!" Cruella said. "I am so very glad that you can see it my way."

"Why thank you, Miss De Vil!"

Cuphead and Denji just rolled their eyes at the ancient fashionista's smothering asshole-ry, as they were walking to the bug place.

*Cuphead's confessional*

"I bet she ain't lasting two days on this show. I know some lady like her and she's scary because she got candy powers, but this old lady's only power is giving me an easy elimination!"

*Confessional cut*

---

With the all of the divers on the beach, Chris could definitely see that they were either shaken from the sharks or were plain bothered from seeing that the sharks were a little bit smarter than your average shark.

(And also much more bloodthirsty than real sharks, anyways.)

"Oi, that wasn't even the craziest experience I've had this week!" 2D shouted. "It ain't that bad!"

"What the fuck do you even go through to get your brain-I can't understand, man." Fandub Eggman shouted.

"Just a bunch of rubbish, nothing that serious."

"Oh, well, okay, kinda weird to just leave it at that."

Chris heard the complaints and he had one thing to say.

"Campers, how do you like your experience so far!"

"I nearly died." Joan darkly remarked.

"And you have some mean sharks!" Bang shouted.

"Yeah, be prepared for more of that stuff going forward! But we're abiding to all kinds of safety protocols so that you campers won't die."

The remaining divers were not even remotely impressed with Chris being only restricted by the laws that govern reality TV, but there was something else to be announced.

All of them were walking towards a very specific spot on the beach, where there was two differently coloured starting lines, one green and one orange.

"What matters is that you guys are mostly uninjured and ready for the second part of your intro challenge, something very simple and very cool!"

Chris just held a kinda ornate key.

"All you have to do is find a key to the nicer cabin and if it opens, you gain the chance to make your own team, simple as that and yes, you're gonna have to either type it out or write it down because I like a little bit of democracy! The rest of you just have to suck it up and figure out whether that guy likes you or not."

Abe and several others had questions.

"Forgot to mention that everyone who landed inside the ring has a 10 minute head start on the green line! Everyone who landed with the sharks has to wait on the orange line, that's it. Any questions?"

Many hands were raised and were ignored, as they were promptly shuffled towards their respective lines and Chef had the control of the start line.

Divers in the outer ring: Bang, Joan, Blanka, Cuphead, Merida, Chuck and Bajie

Divers in the inner ring: 2D, Lord Dominator, Madam Mim, Jane, Serena, Slappy, Shadow, Fandub Eggman, Matthew Patel, Kitana, Daybreak (AKA Joel Biden), Bowser Jr., (Coney the) Shy Guy, Kagero, Coco, Katie Mitchell, Kitty, Anne Maria, Shrek, Glendale, Emmet, Mirko/Rumi, Abe, Wario, Golf Ball, Ashley, Lola, Steve, Schezo & King

"Green liners go, come on!" Chef shouted. "Rest of you better count to 10 minutes."

There was a whole crowd that were ready to stomp on each other, as they ran towards the wild forest with questionably coloured grass and the remaining seven just waiting there.

Awkwardly.

Wondering what was their purpose was-

"Wait, are you a real princess?" Chuck asked.

"Yea, what's wrong with dat?" Merida answered cheekily.

Chuck looked at her in amazement and Merida did the same look.

"Are you a prince?"

"I wish I was one, then I wouldn't have to pay for my daughter's condition."

"Aye." Merida said wistfully.

*Cuphead's confessional*

"It's not my fault that I decided to dive like a not so manly man! I was just feeling not very manly on that day." He stated.

*Schezo's confessional*

He looked a little worse for wear.

"I cannot believe that my spells do not work while swimming, but I did win over these sharks."

*Confessional cut*

---

The many were having a blast with each other, some of which getting rather creative with their use of powers.

"Hold on, how's the rabbit girl so fast?" Anne Maria complained. "She was bouncing all over the place."

"She's got the powers of a rabbit, so she can run really fast, I assume!" Katie shouted.

"Great, I just said that! I just wanna know why?"

"Never mind, I was about to ask you the same question."

These two weren't impressed with this interaction, silently breaking away from each other and there was actually more than a few of those rummaging around, thanks to some quirky personalities.

"Stop following me, I'm not interested in your conversation about some guy who's looks like some guy from some other universe." Shrek was miffed.

"Nah, nah, this is serious! I'm gonna cook him and he's responsible for my gambling addiction, those numbers are traumatic to me now!" Fandub Eggman complained. "So, uh, help an ally out."

"No. I'm gonna stop Shadow now."

"That's all I wanted you to do! You're gonna get cooked."

"Great, get outta here already!"

Shrek then saw a man that fat managing to sprint that fast, his eyes opening in wonder.

*Shrek's unimpressed confessional*

He shook his head.

"I'm starting to think this guy's a load of garbage."

*Confessional cut*

As for the other players, Abe wasn't really having a hard time acclimating to the fellows, which wasn't that hard for a normal dude in a very normal game.

"Hey, guys, so what's shaking?"

Abe was running in the middle of a few rolling hills that actually didn't make that much sense on the island.

"Uh, not much, this place just seems kinda wrong." Serena said.

"Of course, this is reality TV!" Abe replied in a pep in his step.

"Not really, I just have a feeling Chris is a part of Team Rocket with the way he's acting!"

"You fool, Team Rocket isn't real!" Matthew spoke up. "Also, he does not seem evil."

Serena looked a little miffed, considering the obvious.

"Aside from the sharks."

"Yeah, that's a pretty supervillain-y thing to do." Abe said.

Serena, Matthew and Abe managed to find a minor dip in these mini-rolling hills and decided to try and do some hill searching and others were having a less good time thanks to their general presence.

"Schezo, what are ya doing, man?" Shaggy asked. "Why are you like this?"

"Why not! Having a group of people this early in the game means something and it means our bond will be stronger!" Schezo declared.

"For the last time, I'm interested in ladies!"

"I'm talking about having an alliance."

These two were actually climbing a rock wall together, right to the top.

"Oh, then why did you word it like that?"

Schezo looked around and then was offended.

"Because an alliance is a bond between two or more people for strategic reasons." He explained. "Is it not?"

"Like, that's cool and all, but no thanks!"

These two managed to reach the top of the cliff, seeing two keys that could be picked up easily and they grabbed them with ease after noticing that there was a hill.

"Zoinks, I can't believe I climbed all that! Like, why did we do that?"

Blanka literally jumped from the cliff and landed on top of them.

"I knew you could do it, you two! I had key, already." Blanka proclaimed. "You two being cowards brings bad energy."

Shaggy and Schezo had already booked it by then.

"Fine, carry that bad energy with you!"

*Blanka's confessional*

"I'm sorry to those men for scaring them. UWOOOH, bad energy could get them home early and as a jungle boy, I wouldn't like it." He whined.

As for the tricky ladies, Jane and Slappy knew each other's game despite climbing right into a random hole together as a pair.

"Why are ya following me? I bet ya got some stream goin'." Slappy said.

"Simply put, you are a squirrel. You do tend to find things."

"Yeah, I'm findin' MY key, you go find your own!"

"I'll do as I please."

It was more so a reluctant duo rather than sharing their girlhood inside the underground building with the white walls and whatnot, slowly walking around this place.

"This some kinda underground office place?"

"Actually, it is clearly a corridor to what must be the general utilities of the island, by the signs." Jane explained herself. "Or whatever qualifies as signs."

"Yeah, this place's crummy-"

Kagero quite literally kicked up a bunch of smoke, literally stunning them.

"My apologies, I found a key that did not work." She informed them. "It is a part of my duty to inform."

"Yeah, I don't need ya help." Slappy butted in between Jane, who looked fascinated. "I don't need her help and certainly, I don't need some ninja's help."

"Actually, I think you'd be a good asset for any team that you joined and I would certainly like you on my team." Jane drawled.

"Thank you, but that is not for me to decide." Kagero stated.

And then she disappeared like a true ninja would, leaving behind a coughing Shy Guy (named Coney), who was baffled at how he'd end up staring down a very much miffed Slappy.

"Jane, you are my type of lady, I'm sorry to say this." Shy Guy said. "But there are other keys over there if you wanna know."

"Sorry to say 'dis, she ain't dating ya." Slappy stated. "But we better-"

"Kagero, putting the keys in without letting the camera see you, not cool. Anyways, the outer ring divers are now joining you in trying to find the key to the good cabin!"

Jane and Shy Guy just nabbed their keys, leaving the old squirrel to her own devices, having waved the generalists goodbye and then looking around.

"Eh, it's not like this guy didn't put a billion keys around in dumb places."

*Slappy's confessional*

"These kiddies think I'm still stupid, which helps me because dere's tricks that wouldn't work without a little surprise or two. Only entered dis thing 'cause I wanna show how Skippy how dis game rolls!"

*Confessional cut*

She quite literally turned around and saw one.

"Told ya."

As for other people, they didn't have cartoon gags as a serious advantage, only using their smarts for creative approaches.

"I know that you grouped up with me because of my intellect!" Golf Ball said.

"Actually, I teamed up with you because you're a golf ball." Emmet admitted. "The smarts definitely help."

Steve raised his fist.

"Questionable reasons aside, there is definitely a method to the madness that this Chris has. Likely the winning key is in a cave, at the center of the trap-filled area or on top of the edges of this crater, as it's the most difficult." Golf Ball theorized. "A simple-minded challenge, obviously."

"I don't know if it's as easy as you think because that doesn't sound awesome enough!" Emmet called out.

"Cool, but you're not thinking on my level, we need a contraption!"

"Wait, but I have one-"

Steve stopped him from saying it, shaking his head and he placed down a crafting table, Golf Ball plopping down an armoured kart blueprint.

"Let's get to work!" Golf Ball declared.

"Do you not believe in me?" Golf Ball questioned.

"Of course, I do! That looks cool, too!" Emmet bleated.

"Right, of course it does."

The trio were onto building a vehicle in the middle of two mossy rocks that marked a break in the forest, even if meant that there was some people that passed them.

"The hell is that?" Joan asked.

"Something inscrutable!" Golf Ball gaslighted confidently.

"That's a truck."

Joan just left the gaslighting trio to their own devices, as they were making their own way to get into the game, just walking around the odd island towards wherever a key may be.

She then noticed that some of the trees had white bark, like they were normal trees other than just that, but nature must be appreciated.

"I guess this is the effect of us all coming from different dimensions. Cool!" Joan observed.

"HEY, JOAN!"

Abe couldn't be quiet for the life of him.

"There's no keys in my pocket, but at least we found each other!" Abe informed her of his situation. "Maybe we could find keys together."

"Great, it would definitely make up for the shark situation."

They both kept on walking along the odd island, going through the forested section, having some small talk that wasn't really important enough to put in.

"Wow, I wonder if JFK would do pretty well in this show, even if it's just a rip-off of Survivor!" Abe shouted. "Cleo would do pretty good, too."

"Right now, we've got each other and I bet that this duo's going to make it far."

"Yeah, as a powerful duo of friends on TV. I bet Cleo's gonna love it!"

"Don't worry, she will." Joan's smile faded.

The two of them kept on walking in very interesting ways that I could not care to write because somebody else ran into them literally that was also part of the group.

"Hi, guys, did you find my bag of white pow-sugar, yes sugar!"

Glendale, out of all people, had a little bit of coke.

"No, we're trying to find a key."

"Silly me!" Glendale's voice dropped about an octave. "SOMEONE'S GOING TO JAIL FOR THIS!"

"Gimme some."

"DO YOU WANNA GO TO JAIL, TOO!"

And then Glendale left like a fart in the wind, as the potential teenage dream couple walked away from that situation.

*Joan's confessional*

She looked straight at the camera with worry.

"Is there any specific reason why all of the crazies decided to go here at this specific time of year?" She looked confused. "And more importantly, why does this confessional just a good toilet!"

*Confessional cut*

---

The late-comers were wisely sticking together, Merida, Daybreak and Chuck somehow fighting together out of sheer fascination with each other and the wisdom of avoiding elimination.

"You're so funnae when you're trying to be tough!" Merida was on top.

"Since when are Scottish princesses so tough? As a random question!" Daybreak (AKA Joel Biden) remarked.

"Me dad's a fighter."

"I understand, but do you know what I have?!"

Joel Biden rolled over her and then got up, as he grabbed a key immediately.

"AH-HA!"

"Somethin' about that key seems fake." Chuck told him, dropping one of them. "I've seen some bullshit in my life."

"Maybe you're just not long for this challenge!"

Then Joel Biden (AKA Daybreak) ran off in glee, as the other two ran together towards the deep woods to help themselves find that special key and also for another reason.

"Why are ya following me?" Merida asked.

"Because I can tell you how to find a damn key."

A rivalry was made and also a bunny got lost in the process.

"Oh my god, I think I might be going in circles or something!" Lola said.

"Oh really, who would have thought it?!" Cuphead grumbled.

"Probably no-one."

"I don't know, could be everyone!"

Cuphead then looked at Lola and kinda booked it, as the rabbit followed him rather quickly, leading the one of the grumpy chases of all time, the rabbit ditz and cup kid travelling through slightly unusual foliage.

*Lola's confessional*

"No way that I was going around in circles, I was just strategically circling an area for keys and stuff! I actually found two keys, but I'm not gonna tell him because they're looking cute!"

*Confessional cut*

As for some more key searching, the non-divers were watching the key grabbers either drop a key or failed to find the right key, some of them being completely entranced.

"I would easily aced this challenge because finding the difference between keys is something that I could do." Senku remarked. "But to be fair, I might not be eliminated today."

"Please, you could not be any more hopeless if you tried! I only did what I did to protect my fur fashion!" Cruella boasted. "You wouldn't understand."

"You would be surprised at what could be understood just from living after the apocalypse."

"I agree, unfortunately you forgot that knowledge, lad. Oh, look, another hopeless player!"

Glendale pulled a key out of her portal tummy and tried it on the door, but couldn't get it to open up the prettier cabin and sighed.

"Can you at least not be mean, lady who would dive with a fur coat?" Glendale asked.

Senku had already gone in by now, as Denji joined Cruella.

"Boom, roasted." Denji casually remarked, as Glendale gave a thumbs up. "And hey look, another dude!"

Fandub Eggman walked up with his key confidently and then tried to jiggle it.

And then doing it again.

"Aw shit, this door's messing me up. If it was only my wife, then it would be okay!"

Eggman ran back into the wild, as Cruella and Denji laughed together.

"What is he talking about, weird old lady?" Denji asked.

"If you have to ask, you wouldn't understand, you ginger idiot." Cruella answered.

*Senku's confessional*

"Listen, unless Cruella decides to smarten up or change her terrible name, I'm ten billion percent that she will not make it past the third challenge because insulting everybody never goes well." He spoke. "And that's just the obvious cases!"

*Confessional cut*

Fandub Eggman was just walking 'round the place, the vibe of the island starting to get to him in the middle of a sloping forest that somehow managed to bring him to-

"Cuphead, Lola, what the heck are you doin' here?" Eggman asked.

"We got lost thanks to the rabbit girl, so now we're getting found!" Cuphead declared. "And we're still haven't found a key."

"Ain't no way, bruh, let me help you guys find a key!"

"Thanks, weird old guy."

The funky trio were just walking 'round the place and then after only a few steps, encountered a confused bear that was in for a bite.

"Whoa, where did you come from, bear?" Lola asked. "No wait, you came from here."

"Nuh-uh, I'm not interested in asking questions! That guy's gonna eat us like Fortnite!" Eggman pulled the duo away from the bear. "Gonna crack this guy real quick."

"The heck are you doin', I can shoot this fella easy peasy!" Cuphead said.

Cuphead had a shot, Eggman had a gun and the bear just raised its hands up.

"You better give the keys or else I'm poppin' between ya eyes!"

The bear gave the keys and then ran away, Lola slightly horrified.

"Well, we solved that problem. Better test these keys out!" Cuphead was elated.

*Lola's confessional*

She was horrified, close to tearing up.

"No way, that bear was gonna give us keys! And it was cute, too!"

She was genuinely crying.

*Cuphead's confessional*

"That bear's gonna take revenge on me and I'm gonna take revenge on it, but I just need to figure out how to do that!"

*Confessional cut*

"I'm not handing out the correct key, but I can tell all of you is that it looks a little bit different than your usual key!" Chris announced. "Guarded by a pretty ferocious animal, too."

"Yep." Chef spoke up. "Almost ate a few interns."

The loudspeakers then went silent, as a few people that didn't have screentime in this half of the challenge decided to make it so thanks to their unique strategy.

"Why are you following me, you bozo?"

Bowser Jr. stared right at Wario.

"Because, kid, I make a lot of money and that means that Wario's gonna hang out with you!"

"I don't know about this, Papa doesn't like you, Wario."

"He's just jealous of my straight cash!"

Meanwhile, (Coney the) Swiss Army Shy Guy was just walking by and sweating at the day-zero drama that ensued between him, stepping through bushes.

"Guys, there are more important things than dollar bills because this is reality TV. You can get messed up by one random guy with an idol and a plan." Shy Guy spoke up.

"And I'mma gonna find idols and keep them for myself, okay? None of you are gonna have it!" Wario boasted.

"Yeesh, calm down, there hasn't even been a single elimination yet!"

The villainous trio from the Mushroom Kingdom did find something really interesting for this part of the world, mostly because you don't normally find alligators up here.

But there were some tantalizing silver keys and couldn't be passed up, the alligator thinking that these three would be easy pickings when Wario casually walked up to them with a sneer and Coney shot a tranq dart.

The alligator felt it, the Shy Guy pulling out the dart and Wario grumbling while he got the keys, Bowser Jr. stealing one of them.

"Gotta be honest, you didn't need to do that." Bowser Jr. said. "I could've handled that guy!"

"Can you at least give thanks?" Coney asked.

*Bowser Jr.'s confessional*

"So far, I got carried by a kinda cool Shy Guy and frickin' Wario, but the lone game is gonna be all me doin' strategy stuff!" He said. "Just gotta who these guys are."

*Confessional cut*

Slappy threw her key away, Shy Guy tried to fidget his in, Wario couldn't even fit his and Bowser Jr. almost had an opportunity.

"No way, this thing fits! I'm gonna be the team leader now!"

The kid tried to turn it, but he couldn't and then he shook it.

"Not another dud!"

He threw it back down, leaving one of the first latecomers to arrive.

"This will be the key to justice!" Bang exclaimed. "OPEN SESAME!"

Bang's key didn't even move an inch.

"Well, that was a good attempt!"

Despite his failure, his mood was on the upswing, Blanka rolling in with a whole bunch of keys that he could barely carry and he even dropped a few, but he tried them real quick.

Quick enough that he didn't notice Lord Dominator taking his dropped keys and throwing him back.

"I'll be taking those." Dominator drawled, fidgeting one into another. "Come on, this shouldn't be that hard."

And then she messed with a few more, before Blanka came back for a fight.

"Why won't these work-"

"UWOOOOH!"

Blanka threw her back, leading the two of them into a fight, which prompted a confused Glendale to gawk back at the green-skinned people's brawl while getting random keys out of her belly.

She even shook a key on the door.

"Come on, why won't you stay in!" Glendale couldn't tussle with the door.

"Stand aside, lady horse, I will insert it into the door!" Schezo arrived with a declaration.

Dominator and Blanka just stopped by the time Schezo dropped that one-liner and decided to leave before it got weird, Slappy having a very special trick that she'd thought to have worked.

"This key was just a fraud!"

"You're just a Japanese fraud." Slappy clapped back to Schezo. "Lemme try somethin'."

Slappy had a bomb and of course, it blew up Schezo, charred part of the porch and somehow did nothing to the cabin.

"Well, it was worth a shot."

"Oh yeah, no funny business on the door! It can only be opened by key and both cabins' are guarded against explosions just in case any invaders try that kind of funny business!" Chris announced. "By the way, nobody's found the winning key!"

Slappy walked away from the cabin and the rest had already left the situation by the way, leaving for the rest of the contestants to have screen time on this weird island.

Shadow, Vladilena and Ashley were all together for the same reason.

"It's better for us three to find keys together and then gather them into our pockets rather than all three of us to go solo." Kitana said. "But if you get attached, then that's a issue you will have to deal with."

"Good, because this is just a strategic teamup." Ashley spoke up. "And you do need some help."

"I do not need help, but you two refuse to let me do this solo!" Shadow huffed.

"I'm not asking, just call it tagging-along, if you want to save face." Kitana explained.

Shadow kept on thinking about it, as Kitana and Ashley strategically walked besides him.

"Fine, but this is only very temporary."

The trio kept on walking and you know, this is getting a little bit too long.

Somehow, some way, these three found one of the more dangerous Canadian animals, the classic and always notable cassowary, who was on guard and ready to take down all of them.

Kitana had two fans and a dream, Ashley was ready to shoot and Shadow was ready to throw down with the displaced bird, the hedgehog immediately kicking it in the beak.

Shadow then easily dodged the cassowary's next attacks, throwing several kicks at the bird that somehow tanked it, the bird managing to get a grasp on the hedgehog, causing a full-on brawl.

"Do you need something or-" Ashley asked, her wand ready to fire.

"Not really." Shadow answered.

He then chokeslammed the cassowary, the bird now out for blood Kitana doing the more strategic thing of picking up the few keys that were indeed there to avoid the cassowary, so the deed was indeed done.

"Kitana has the keys and I'm going to put a spell on that rare bird." Ashley quipped.

"Agreed, we don't need to waste any more time on this flock." Kitana agreed.

Shadow threw the cassowary away, the bird knocked out temporarily.

"Hmph, that bird was more annoying than Sonic on a bad day." Shadow grumbled, disregarding the bird.

The trio were quickly making their way back, the cassowary ready to send its own regards in a challenge that was neither here nor there and also, someone unfortunate decided to step in.

The legend himself.

"Haha, I always get my results. And there's no keys." Daybreak whispered. "Wait, isn't this supposed to be in the Southern Hemisphere?"

He didn't want to deal with the cassowary, but the cassowary wanted to deal with him, waking up instantly.

"These birds are nothing compared to me!"

*Daybreak's confessional*

The scruffy guy was looking even more scruffed up.

"Yeah, the geographical displacement of that bird gave him the advantage, but any other day, I would've beaten him easily."

*Confessional cut*

As for much finer pastures, King and 2D weren't exactly in that location, just in the middle of a swamp that seemed to be out of place in an Canadian paradise such as this one.

"Fuckin' 'ell, where did this came from?" 2D asked.

"If I had to answer, maybe New Orleans." King remarked. "Maybe there's some crocodiles or alligators out here."

"Dunno if you wanna be tanglin' with that."

"I've tangled with really annoying men and my friends, crocodiles don't really scare me that much."

"Yeah, I'd piss my pants if a crocodile rolled up to me."

"...I figured."

These two would be slowly trawling around the swamp, picking up a few keys along the way and they hadn't even asked an important question.

"No way, you haven't heard of us, everybody in our world kinda knows us!" 2D shouted in surprise.

"Is it weird that I find it weird that I don't know you that well. You're the frontman of Gorillaz, something that I should know!" King said. "I'm sorry I'm not very used to this multiverse thing."

"Mate, you're not the only one! Can't believe they're in costumes and..."

2D could only trail off, as King managed to get the attention of the previously mentioned animal that could definitely be seen from the ancient boardwalk that they're stepping on.

The crocodiles were indeed swarming.

"Well, I've seen crazier at my bar."

---

Steve, Emmet and Golf Ball were successfully done with their crazy vehicle, which looked like one of those trucks that got carried by a shitty country-esque song except with armour around it.

They were admiring their work, looking at the rudimentary insides of the car.

"Wow, it actually looks nice for a thing we built in under a hour!" Emmet shouted. "So glad that I could contribute."

"Thank you, my blocky friend who isn't blocky! We've wasted enough time as is and let us make haste!" Golf Ball said.

"Right, but first..."

Emmet turned on the radio to a song that might have been made by Nickelback.

"The music's important!"

"I have my doubts." Golf Ball remarked, swapping seats.

These guys were well on their merry way to hoovering up the one key to potentially open up the winners' cabin and they drove it like it, too, running over a whole lot of stuff.

Steve was enjoying the music and the vibe, having his arm on the side, Emmet had his hands full on the wheel and Golf Ball was the eyes of the kart.

"Did you install the vacuum feature?" Golf Ball asked.

"Yeah, whatever that is!" Emmet affirmed.

"The suck up keys feature?"

"YEP!"

Emmet turned that bitch on and in other news, Lola finally found a key.

"Oh my god, I hope that car doesn't come in and suck it in!" Lola called out.

She saw the car and it took a random key.

"Oh my god, it didn't come in to suck my key! Thank you, random car people!"

Lola was a little miffed at seeing all of the keys sucked up, but so was Marshall.

"Hey, Marshall, kung fu guy, there's some car sucking up keys!" Lola called out.

"I know because they took mine." Marshall empathised. "But let's just go to the cabin."

"What if we stole that kart, that would be awesome!"

"You can do that if you want to! Don't let your dreams be dreams anymore!"

Lola looked more motivated than ever, as Marshall realised that he let a demon in the form of rabbit Lindsay loose on a trio of smart geniuses and kinda regretted it.

*Marshall's confessional*

"I don't know if I should be mad that I helped someone try to make a robbery or happy that I motivated someone on their first try. Either way, that robbery wouldn't be worth it!" He tried to sum up his complicated feelings.

*Confessional cut*

Marshall went back to an honest man's search, accidentally grouping up with Coco Bandicoot and her computer.

"Hello, talking bandicoot girl." Marshall walked past quickly.

"Hey, poor martial arts guy." Coco joked.

Marshall took a quick glance at Coco.

"Sorry, I legitimately forgot your name! Coco, was it?"

"Yeah? Sorry about that, I thought you were making a joke about the multiverse!"

"Thank you!"

These two were running together, understanding that there were many corners of the island that were yet to be explored and also understanding that it could've been temporary.

Nevertheless, it was pretty quiet, despite the fact that they've passed several contestants that hadn't appeared in this challenge, including a certain Dominator.

"Scream, little weird looking animals!" Dominator shouted.

"You can kick me in the face!" A younger pink-skinned pig guy exclaimed.

Dominator kicked the other pig man on the island, Marshall and Coco walking by.

"Do you have any keys! To be honest, I'm only doing this because it's faster and your screams are nice." Dominator demanded calmly.

Zhu Bajie rolled up to protect Oolong (the other pig guy) or so Dominator thought, even when it looked much more heated between the two of them, the green villain thinking of something simple.

"If you carry me to the winning key, then I will ensure that you will get a taste of me and that no-one hears of this." Dominator suggested towards the two pigs.

Oolong got shoved aside by the other Chinese pig.

"No way, Dominator, I will not let a demon such as yourself sully this young man's mind!" Bajie took up his rake. "Do you want a fight?"

"Yeah, you don't have a choice."

Zhu Bajie got trapped in a little bit of lava, as Dominator flicked around two keys.

"Submit or else you're going to be the first pig fossil." Dominator threatened the (kinda) heroic pig. "And I like you, too."

*Zhu Bajie's confessional*

He hung his head in shame.

"Forgive me, Son Wukong and spider, for she has powers, the looks and the keys. I do not know what kind of demon she is, but she has my interest!"

*Confessional cut*

Bajie and Dominator wasn't really that odd of a duo compared to the trio of-

"Can we turn it into another station, this rap kinda sucks?" Emmet asked. "I'm sorry for saying it sucks."

Steve had a thought about it.

From the screen to the ring to the pen to the king-

The kart driving trio were currently in the middle of dealing with a certain filmmaking duo, who somehow did not notice the armoured kart slowly driving behind them.

"Hold on, you're a director?" Kitty asked.

"Director-in-studying, pretty much." Katie closed her camera. "Yeah, you wanna check out one of my things?"

"Yeah, but we gotta do something first?"

"Like what-"

Katie and Kitty got surprised by the sight of the armoured kart slowly riding behind them and the social media fiend (that's Kitty) decided to put their foot down.

"Can you go bother some other people? We're kind of in the middle of showing our stuff to each other!" Kitty shouted.

"Yes, we should. But I think you might have something that we need!" Golf Ball declared.

"No, we don't."

"You would not tell us anyway!"

"Yeah, we would!" Katie shouted. "Can you stop bugging us?!"

Steve and Golf Ball looked at each other, the girls didn't throw anything.

"Fine, but you are very lucky!"

And the kart drove off at speed, Katie and Kitty trying to run towards the cabin just as fast, with their own keys shaking.

"How did you even hide it?" Kitty asked.

"Jacket."

The two of them were a little giddy in their own personal victory, right before the kart swung right back towards them, joined by a surprise appearance of Blanka.

"Wow, these guys are smart!" Katie could only compliment.

The kart might have been slow, but it did scare the girls who slid to a whole stop for a very specific request.

"Can we at least ride the kart?" Kitty asked. "We're all trying to unlock the doors."

"No, of course not! There is not enough space for all of us-" Golf Ball declared.

Kitty and Katie got escorted on by the rest of the kart riders anyways, the golf ball angrily grumbling.

"Looks like there's enough space, golf ball!" Blanka shouted. "UWOOOHHH!"

"Fine." Golf Ball relented. "Just get in."

The kart of six was going a little bit slower, but it had many keys to carry.

---

2D and King were up against the out-of-place alligator.

"What do we do, whatdowedo!"

King just kicked it in the face.

"I don't wanna die to an alligator!" 2D was mid-panic.

"Then don't!"

The blonde lady just shot with her own fireball.

"Get moving, 2D!"

These two were definitely making a break for it, the alligator also making its chase at a slightly slower pace on the vines, roots and lily pads.

The band leader screamed the whole way, while King kept it quiet and let her speed do the talking, but they did actually manage to find a small assortment of keys up in the trees.

2D actually did the jump first and King got up second, her having to take the screaming in her ear.

"No flippin' way that we got those keys!" 2D spoke with relief. "Do you think it's got friends?"

"It's an alligator, it probably has friends." King said. "Let's leave."

"Roite!"

These two jumped down right into a whole crew of alligator, 2D starting his screaming match again, as King basically pulled the frontman with only one arm.

*King's confessional*

"To be fair, alligators are still scary, it's just that when in fear, kicks and punches just come out instead of screaming." She confidently stated. "When I can kick it, which I can always do.

*Confessional cut*

Agent Daybreak was back on the screen once again, this time getting carried metaphorically by the other old lady that could shoot magic like no tomorrow as in she was loving shootin' magic.

"Can you stop for a second and not shoot everything with whatever dark magic you have?" Daybreak asked. "Even if I'm thankful for whatever it is you're doing!"

"Teeheehee, I will never stop shooting!" Mim gleefully proclaimed.

"What he is saying is that you are too much of a trigger happy person and justice never gets solved that way!" Bang condemned the other Disney Villain, as Daybreak rolled his eyes.

"Why do you think I'm for justice?"

Daybreak just pinched his noise, as Bang was borderline offended at having to deal with the world's oldest edgelord.

"Listen, Bang, you're really the only one here that really likes justice. I'm just about getting money over here."

"I LIKE CAUSING PROBLEMS!" Mim piped up in response to Daybreak's words.

These two carefully walked through an oddly dark corridor that despite having another entrance that wasn't too far from them, was endowed in shadow and then, uh, something furry popped in front of them.

Madam Mim also threw a fiery spell at it and it turned out to be the bear that wasn't in the burning mood-

"Owowowowow!" The bear said for some reason.

"Do not worry, I will make your fire disappear!" Bang shouted, before disappearing...

...and then doing a hard drop on top of the bear, which just made it scream.

Daybreak and Mim immediately took the chest that it somehow guarded on its back and immediately ran from it, knowing that something was up with the bear.

"Why are you two running away like cowards?! It will make the bear angry!" Bang screamed, the duo having ran away from the bear.

*Mim's confessional*

She couldn't really take it too seriously.

"I for one, am going to piggyback off this attractive idiot to get sleep in the good cabin because it is much funnier for I to see the lowly second placers get terrible sleep than the other way around! Hahahahaha!"

*Confessional cut*

Mim and Daybreak realised that they were a safe distance away from the bear and they quickly opened the chest together.

"And look at that, Mr. Joel Biden and Madam Mim have found the esteemed winners' cabin key! If you want the key, then get to them!"

"I don't know about you, but I like fighting these youngsters and showing you what an old lady can do!" Mim exclaimed.

"Yeah, unfortunately not all of us can do magic tricks."

"These are no mere tricks-"

"As a normal guy, I know that fighting isn't my best ability."

These two were already booking, knowing that they were getting chased by everybody and their grandma, the only luck factor was that they were in a very swampy part of the island that seemed completely out of place.

But they couldn't stop for there was definitely somebody on their tail, someone who was an ally.

"Stop, I will not let someone shady like you through." Bang said.

"Alright, you are a bizarre man, but you'd do well on my team if you let me have this key!" Daybreak offered. "Seriously, I'd like to have-"

"Sure, I will help you keep on the straight and narrow!"

Bang slid right in between Mim and Daybreak, making the other guy a little happier that he'd have a powerful ally in this game because there was a certain hedgehog that came in right away.

The two of them sprinted through the weird water, winding tree roots and entangled vines that could not stump the ultimate life form that was behind them.

"You think I'm not behind you!" Shadow declared, just to spook the two chasers.

"I will never let you lay a hand on him!"

The hedgehog finally teleported into view, as Bang blocked his sudden kick with his bare fists and he let the agent go.

*Daybreak's confessional*

He was chilling in the seat.

"For an dumb guy, he'd make a good secret agent and him and that crazy witch lady would definitely fit my team. It should be full of geniuses, fighters and other shady characters for me to command!"

*Confessional cut*

Daybreak kept on running with the obviously opportunistic witch towards where he thought the cabin was and to no-one's surprise, he ended up in a random outhouse that didn't have anything.

Well, except for one person.

Actually, it was two people.

"Surprise, you get two of us!" Marshall said. "I'm surprised that it worked."

"You shoulda found ya own hiding spot, there ain't enough space for da two of us!" Anne Maria shouted. "Bitch, I'm not letting a secret agent through."

Agent Daybreak looked surprised that his cover was blown for some reason.

"I live in Joisey, you don't look like the prez's son!"

"Hah, well then, get ready for a rude awakening!" Daybreak told her.

Anne Maria, of all sudden, started to get drowsy.

"Stop hidin' behind that witch-" Anne Maria dropped down to get a nap of sorts.

Madam Mim was giddy in her sleep spell working, but Marshall was a little bit stronger.

"I can't believe you put that lady to sleep. That's terrible, even if she was annoying!" Marshall shouted.

"My magical friend solved your number one problem. If you let me go, you can join my team." Daybreak said.

"And go out like a coward? Really."

"Yeah, guessed my gambit wouldn't work on someone like you."

Marshall took chase after Daybreak, as Madam Mim, of all people, tried to throw a few projectiles the Asian-American's way leaving Daybreak to make his break for it.

"I've met many old martial artists, so I'm not gonna let you down easy!"

"Have you ever met a witch before?!" Madam Mim transformed into a fox and let her opponent gawk at her. "None of them are as strong as I."

"No matter what you are, I'll fight."

And then they fought off-screen.

---

Daybreak was just trying to make a break for it albeit with a slightly messed up sense of direction that also led him to another quickly bonding duo that we don't really have time for.

"Why, hello, you two. Let me go and I'll let you be on my team." Daybreak said. "I know for a fact that Chuck here isn't in a place to make demands."

"I can beat your ass and make my own team." Chuck said. "That's what it'll take."

"Come on, he nae knows what he's doing!" Merida shouted. "He isn't some dumbo."

"Last time I teamed up with a guy like this, didn't go too well for me."

"Well, glad we could talk, but I'm joining his team!"

Merida carefully walked to Daybreak's side and took a good gaze at him.

"Aye, you're a lookin' like a spindle!"

"Yeah, well, it ain't big muscles. You'd know that, Merida!"

Merida just rolled her eyes, as Daybreak basically forced her along not wanting a fight, despite Chuck ready to square down.

*Chuck's confessional*

He shook his head.

"I survived a zombie apocalypse and so far, life isn't very good. Got caught with the wrong bunch of guys and to win that damn cash, I'm gonna need to be with the right kind of guys. He's definitely a chump.

*Confessional cut*

Daybreak was still desperately on the run from the rest of the cast, having making turns to try and find that one opening where his key would definitely work.

And it did not help that he had certain people on his backside.

"Listen, you better get off that horse thing or we'll have problems!" Daybreak demanded.

"Uwo! Then reveal your real name, secret agent guy!" Blanka called out.

"It's Joel Biden."

"Uwo! Stop running and lying!"

Blanka and Glendale had teamed up to steal the key, complete with Schezo desperately trying to not fall off and Shaggy quickly following the odd duo of Daybreak and Merida trying to book it.

"Aye, you three don't scare me!" Merida said. "I ain't worried-"

Schezo shot a dark spell and she parried it with a sword.

"I am Merida of Dunbroch and I'm not gonna let you have the key!"

"Hah, Merida of Dunbroach, I am Schezo Wegey, be prepared for my dark spells!"

"Wait, are you a prince?"

"I am a man of honour and justice and a man that is willing to rock your world!"

Merida just shook her head, as Blanka, Glendale and Shaggy all groaned at the same time at his amazing wordplay.

"You don't talk good." She wasn't impressed. "Mr. Biden of..."

Merida and Glendale turned around to see that Mr. Biden's long lost son had disappeared.

"Well, you wanna steal from a secret agent?" Glendale asked.

"Yeah, I've got one question? What are ya?" Merida questioned, nervously.

"I'm a centaur and my talent is yoinking stuff!"

Merida didn't look too impressed.

*Merida's confessional*

She shook her head.

"Everybody here's some kind of weird! Well, aside from the non-weird ones, but I've bet they've got some kind of magic business or just liars."

*Confessional cut*

"Okay, campers, Daybreak has finally made his way back to the cabins! Let him have it!"

Daybreak had finally found the cabins once again and it was like the whole squad was up against him with the smart people all around him, him gawking at the crowd of people.

"Hey, secret agent guy, can you please give us your key?!" Emmet asked.

"Why would you ask that, of course he wouldn't give it up willingly!" Golf Ball demanded.

"What about the magnet?"

Steve didn't turn it on for obvious reasons, since the chickens were also watching the fight from a short distance and those chickens included Roxanne and Queen.

"Oh yeah, those two are computers." Emmet said.

"And since there's no recovery center, we'll have to get up close and personal." Golf Ball ruminate on her chances.

Steve was already way ahead of the other two builders.

The brawl was so messy, the only notable thing was that between Daybreak, Coco, Bowser Jr., Shy Guy and Steve, the winning key swapped hands so many times that every chicken watching basically lost track.

Besides two.

"You don't think Daybreak put out a fake one?" Boscha asked.

"No, but he effectively put up a smokescreen with only dirt and Steve being the unintentional destruction with the power of science." Senku explained. "Simple, but effective."

"What do you mean-"

Daybreak actually managed to open up the winning cabin and Chris and Chef came up to him and shook his hand.

"That's right, Mr. Joel Biden has won the winning cabin and now he has the power to pick an awesome team! Or something that is pretty funny, but I doubt that!"

Daybreak had a confident smile.

"Dude, you've already got an idea of a team?"

"Yeah, though it's gonna take me a little bit of time to figure it out. Information obviously doesn't tell the full story." The agent explained. "Especially with something like this!"

The agent made sure that everyone in the area could see him and that every contestants had arrived.

"Listen up, if you're not selected by this guy, you're gonna be up for elimination! Originally there wasn't going to be elimination today, but Schezo over there ruined that!"

"Aw, come on, no-one even invited you!" Denji shouted.

"Get out of here, dumbass!" Mikey said. "The guy's right over there."

Schezo got a decent amount of boos and misgivings.

"Joel's got 30 minutes to make his dream team, so I'll just watch all of you not have a good time!"

*Coco's confessional*

"I'm not really concerned about him, his reality show skills is as strong as that air-tight disguise he's got on. But I am more concerned about being put in a team that's all about survival of the fittest." She confessed. "Because even if I have important skills, it'll crumble fast and I don't want to be the victim of the team's fallout."

*Bowser Jr.'s confessional*

He was pacing around the confessional.

"Aw man, my dad's gonna hate the fact that I'm not gonna be team leader and that guy looks cool as heck! What do I got aside from awesome painting skills?"

*Matthew Patel's confessional*

He groaned.

"Oh shit, the imposter's got the team leader mantle. Luckily, I'll be his number one guy and if he has a number one guy, I will be better than whoever he has selected." He explained his evil plan like a villain for some reason.

*Confessional cut*

---

Matthew was tapping his foot, along with a lot of people that did not get their proper screen time yet, since it had been 30 minutes since Chris and Chef left with the

"What's up with you? You want to be team leader so bad?" Wario asked.

"No, I just want to have my immunity!" Matthew complained. "Do you want to be the first person out?"

"Not really, Wario didn't even do that bad! Imma got lost, but I was hot on his trail."

"Yeah, it is the same situation over here! I was nearly in that cave!"

These two grumbled, just as another pair of underused players were having a talk.

"Hey, Joan, are you worried?" Abe asked. "I wonder who's going to be put in the strongest team."

"Yes, Abe, I could've found it! And it was all because you pushed me away mid-dive." Joan admitted. "We could have been immune together."

"Don't worry, Joan, we'll be immune to any virus or today's elimination! Just as soon as he comes back."

"Oh, thank you, Abe."

The potential couple weren't nearly the first ones to see that Chris got given the list of 26 winning contestants, each separated by gender and he was chuckling in happiness.

"Now, Mr. McLean, do your duty." Daybreak just saluted him.

"Is every contestant here to hear this special announcement?" Chris asked. "I do mean it, dude, this episode is going on long enough!"

"Yes, we all are here! Now tell us about which team I will be in." Baldi remarked.

"Good. The team that Mr. Joel Biden made will be team one and team two will contain all of the chickens and everybody who hasn't changed by Mr. Biden himself, trust me, you're gonna need it!"

All of the contestants were paying attention.

"Everybody I called out is in team number one! Mr. Joel Biden, Shadow, Bang Shishigami, Madam Mim, Ashley, Marshall Law, Shaggy, Glendale, Merida, Kagero, Golf Ball, Emmet, Steve, Kitana, Wario, Matthew Patel, Katie Mitchell, Kitty, Lola, Jane Doe, Anna Maria, Coco Bandicoot, Mirko and Chuck!"

The 25 or so players were now standing on distinctly yellow mat and they were all pretty chuffed to be in the game.

"You guys are The Screaming Ostriches, pretty neat name, huh."

"Not really, but it's not that bad." Mirko put it out there.

Most of the team shook their heads or groaned.

"Come on, it's not serious!"

"Everybody else is in team two! Senku Ishigami, King, 2D, Justice, Cruella, Vladilena, Schezo, Blanka, Cuphead, Lord Dominator, Bajie, Jonesy, Denji, Manjiro, Serena, Boscha, Queen, Rengoku, Eggman, Joan, Abe, Coney The Shy Guy, Roxanne, Baldi, Shrek & Bowser Jr.!"

The rest of them were on an azure blue mat.

"You guys will be the Killer Robins, despite not being very killer!"

"A good name for a team that didn't do too well." Shrek sighed.

"Hey, at least I could be team leader here!" Bowser Jr. shouted. "And there's some obvious targets, too."

"The hell-"

"Nah, not you."

The Robins wanted to know what Bowser Jr. meant.

"Robins, you guys are gonna experience what it's like to send somebody here in the Campfire Ceremony! Make sure that your choice doesn't make your team suck!"

*Lord Dominator's confessional*

(Part of The Killer Robins)

"This guy thinks he can cross me without inciting my wrath? Even with having a squirrel that could easily join my alliance, I will make his team pay so much that he has no choice to be alone. And then I'll boil him alive."

*Cuphead's confessional*

(Part of The Screaming Ostriches)

"Wow, my team's full of very strong people. Yeah, Mugman, you said this was going to be a hard game, where are ya now!" Cuphead taunted his bro. "Besides I'm pretty strong myself!"

*Confessional cut*

---

The 26 losers were all eating their premium-grade slop and it was only premium because they made Boscha vomit, which was a lot more impressive than it sounds.

"Are you joking, human? Is the food supposed to be this bad?"

"Didn't know I could disgust a witch." Chef remarked.

"Is the food supposed to be bad?!" Boscha demanded.

Boscha stared at him, before Chef chucked the food in her face and she stomped her way back to the losers' table.

The losers watched Lola get some burger that was definitely edible in jealousy, considering they got some unidentified alien food on their plate.

"Man, this sucks. Imagine getting actual food instead of something that might move if you look at it wrong." Denji stated.

"Really? Does it move?" Fandub Eggman asked. "Oh shit, it's a joke."

"Yeah! Motherfucker."

"Calm down on the swearing, I ain't old enough to hear it!" Cuphead remarked with the cheekiest smile you could imagine.

"Shit."

"No seriously, Elder Kettle's gonna get mad at me...again."

Fandub Eggman rolled his eyes at the kids.

"I'm getting out of this function."

As for Schezo, he was trying to make moves, but instead accidentally made a move.

"So, what brings you to this fine season?" Schezo asked. "Fine supervillain."

"Got bored being alone, so I came to show off my villainy-" Dominator somehow got shoved out of the way.

"Hold on, can I answer!" Justice hopped in. "I thought it was cool they'd let a blind demon in and also, Total Drama sounds awesome!"

"Buzz off,...blind girl!" Dominator threw a punch.

"You better buzz off, I'm trying to make conversation up here!"

Schezo looked intimidated by the brawling twosome, so turned to a slightly less intimidating and infinitely more bothered Serena.

"Serena, what are you doing on this fine day? Bored, interested, intrigued by me?" Schezo said, trying to be friendly. "Maybe we could talk one-on-one."

"...Why do you talk like this?" Serena grumbled. "Also, I wanted to spread Pokemon to the world?"

"Good, you'd be a fine candidate for such a thing."

Serena just threw up her hands.

"Because you have the qualities to bring Poke-mon out with your innate beauty."

"Do you have some kind of problem, because we can do battle if we have a problem?!" Serena panicked, slowly walking back. "Or not, I'm going to the toilets!"

"Hey, wait, I do not mean it like that. I want you!"

"SHUT THE FUCK UP, YOU STUPID MORON!" Roxanne hopped on her table.

Serena was getting the fuck out of there, probably anticipating the shit-storm that Schezo was about to face, especially from the more aggressive campers...which were starting to get more numerous.

"My apologies, I was coming off a little strong on the charm offensive." Schezo apologised. "I AM SORRY!"

"Sorry's not enough. I know for a fact that you didn't mean it, you just accidentally did a little bit of SA." Roxanne said. "Knock it off, buster."

"Oh."

"Sexual assault, you creeper." King clarified out of spite. "Ezekiel was 500 times the man you are."

Schezo just slumped down to the ground, Justice and Dominator stopping their temporary brawl.

"Hey, look, an easy target." Dominator said. "You wanna stomp on a hopeless idiot?"

"Not really, that's more your style than mine. Schezo really needs to step up his talking game." Justice could only sympathise.

Dominator dusted herself off, as Justice was stuck in some lava rocks.

"No, hopeless idiot is clearly what he is." The green villain mocked Justice.

"You know it's not fair to hopeless idiots, they ain't going after kids!" Anna Maria insulted Schezo, as Justice looked up at her.

"Yeesh, lay off him a little. He's a blue-haired dumbo, nothing wrong with that." Kitty said. "Besides what all of you guys said."

"So, are we gonna kick his butt or not?" Anna Maria said.

"Well, you just caught a lot of us in the right mood." King spat. "Creep."

"Hey wait, my words got misconstrued-" Schezo suggested in between the many stomps.

"SHUT IT, WEIRDO!"

Schezo was getting the whole dunk experience and nobody had any sympathy for him, albeit minus a few people who could understand who much of a fucking idiot he was.

Kitty, Senku and Lena could only wince as Schezo was getting the full simp dream experience.

*Slappy's confessional*

"Weeb creep's unlucky that he didn't get the Hansen experience because he ain't getting bombs in jail." She quipped. "Or 20 people stomping on him, can't say that there was enough space for me for dat stomp."

*Senku's confessional*

"The opportunity made itself known and right in time for an impromptu elimination. I'm ten billion percent sure that his elimination's imminent." He calculated.

*Schezo's confessional*

This dude got the fantasies of a thousand simps on his face.

"This is worse than my world." He flatly spoke. "I don't like being stepped on by only women repeatedly."

And then he returned to his primal knocked out state.

*Confessional cut*

---

The 25 contestants that were actually eligible for the elimination were sitting in a new weird version of a familiar location and unsurprisingly, it was off-coloured, thanks to the wood that was used.

Other than that, it was a direct upgrade of the first season's campfire, complete with makeshift roof to ensure that it wouldn't get hit by the rain.

"Why's the wood pink? I've never seen pink wood!" Shrek looked surprised.

"Cool, I will not answer that! Campers, you may have noticed that this is looking a little bit nicer than that old fire pit because it kinda rains. A lot. You guys are here either because you didn't dive at all or got unlucky with Mr. Joel Biden not picking you!"

"So, this is the Elimination Campfire and two of you might know what might be coming next, but for those who do not know! Whenever a team loses a challenge, they will be sent here to send one or two of their fellow campers to be tossed out. The marshmallow represents safety, sweetness and most importantly, another day in the game and if you don't get it, you get sent out on the Dock of Shame through the Portal of Losers to never come back, ever!" Chris announced. "I'm just gonna let Chef Hatchet say a few words."

Chef crossed his arms, wearing his periwinkle blue shirt with pride.

"Cruella, you didn't do the dive for stupid reasons! You could've taken off that damn fur coat and no-one would see you as an easy target!"

"In retrospect, that was my only stupid move." Cruella answered. "And more importantly, staying on here would actually be my kind of fun."

A good chunk of the losers could only shake their heads at her.

"Senku Ishigami, you could actually dive but decided to wimp out citing the challenge not being important. Which backfired on you. Substantially."

*Senku's confessional*

He shook his head.

"It is actually that simple. The vote would have never went to me, especially since offending people is something that I would never consider doing. I'm ten billion percent sure about that." He spoke clearly. "Unlike other people who are masters of anti-social behaviour by pure accident."

*Confessional cut*

"Uhhh, Boscha? You kinda kept on denying your inability to swim. Will it cause people to doubt your abilities?" Chef asked, seeing Boscha swirl around a fireball.

"You know, I can do words, but my actions will prove those doubters to be hasty idiots." Boscha boasted, starting up for a fireball.

"Yeesh! You know why you're here, Schezo. You weren't invited for a good reason, but you showed up and now look at what happened!" Chef wasn't impressed.

Schezo got some well-deserved stares of disgust and horror.

*Schezo's confessional*

"In my defense, I did try to improve my vocabulary substantially and Arle did say that she almost does not consider me a creeper." He honestly said. "Almost being the operative word."

*Confessional cut*

...

"Denji!"

"Manjiro!"

Mikey could only glare at Chef and the same stare got returned back at the delinquent.

"Queen!"

"Roxanne Wolf!"

"Justice!"

"AWESOME" could definitely be heard.

"Anna Maria!"

"Jonesy!"

"Wario!"

"Vladilena!"

"Slappy Squirrel!"

"Rengoku!"

"Yes!" could also be heard.

"Bowser Junior!"

"Joan!"

"Abe."

"Serena!"

"Baldi."

"Shrek!"

"2D!"

"King!"

"You all share having no votes to your name!"

"Oh phew, I thought I wuz gonna get some votes!" 2D said.

"Why would you even get votes, you're a popular rockstar!" Jonesy argued.

...

...

"Senku, you have 1 vote, enough for your survival!"

He enjoyed that marshmallow.

...

...

"Coney, Shy Guy, whatever your name is, you also have 1 vote, but enough for survival!"

"Oh my gosh!"

...

...

"Cruella, you've only got 2 votes against ya, enough for a marshmallow."

"Thank you, darlings-" Cruella got a marshmallow pelted at her.

Schezo and Boscha both blinked.

"How could I get this many votes against me!" Boscha complained.

"Because you're obviously coming off as suspicious, young lady." Schezo said. "I will insert chivalry into you-"

"SHUT UP!"

Schezo got stunned into silence, as Boscha looked at the host.

"Which one of you will be going home?"

...

...

...

Boscha looked quite perturbed.

...

...

...

Schezo was miffed that his words came off wrong again.

...

...

...

"Boscha!"

"WHAT?!"

She stood up in outrage.

"You might have 6 votes, but you're still in!"

The marshmallow came her way, as Schezo didn't look too surprised at this result.

"Schezo, dude, you got like 40 votes out of 50 potential votes! Kinda insane if you ask me, but you deserved it for trying to join in for no reason and it'd be great if you regretted it all-"

"Thank you for the wake-up call, I thought I was being respectful. But no, it looks like my ways have preceded me again."

Schezo got carried by Chef.

"H-hey, put me down, Mr. Chef Hatchet!"

"You deserve it." Chef told him. "Hit the road, Schezo!"

"Anyways, campers, you earned your stay, enjoy it!" Chris announced. "Be careful to not lose because there'll be two eliminations in nearly every challenge!"

...

Schezo actually managed to get dragged all of the way to the portal and thrown back into his own world.

"Anyways, that's the Speedboat of Losers, what a whole different season!" Chris shouted. "With that uninvited weirdo gone, there's only 50 more weirdos to go, you viewers won't like everybody, but there's more than enough around! Who's also getting the boot on TOTAL DRAMA X: CROSSED TREES!"

---

To be continued in Episode 3, with our finalised two teams going through a challenge that may or may not be the second challenge of that irradiated season that brought someone back from the depths of legal trouble.

Schezo was always a first boot, despite the fact that I basically added him out of sheer hilarity and it's always because his ability to mangle basic sentences definitely defies comprehension and also all reason, dude's trying to get his genuine feelings across and almost always ends up sexually harassing fellas.

Man.
