Chapter Text
The episode starts with Luz and Katie sitting together in the void. Mando, Annabeth, and Sasha are sitting at a random table far away from them, talking and yucking it up.
Luz Noceda: “Katie… no matter what happens today… we’re gonna get separated.”
Katie Mitchell: “And no matter what happens, there’s only gonna be one cool girl left by the end of the episode…”
Luz Noceda: “I don’t want us to get separated, though!”
Katie Mitchell: “Hey, look, on the bright side, one of us will be able to see Ibuki and Hilda again!... and also Tyler, while we’re at it.”
Luz Noceda: “Wow… Tyler’s been gone for so long, I actually kinda forgot he was here in the first place.”
Katie Mitchell: “Yeah, poor dude. I actually liked him during the two challenges he was here for.”
Luz Noceda: “I miss Wii Fit Trainer too. She was really kind and I loved being on a team with her!”
Katie Mitchell: “Wanna know who I don’t miss? CAILLOU.”
Luz Noceda: “Oh my gosh, he was the worst! Thank god he got eliminated first! Oh, hey, poet and I didn’t know it-”
Katie Mitchell: (laughs) “Yeah. Man, we’ve both been up for elimination together three times in a row. That’s crazy.”
Luz Noceda: “Not in a row.”
Katie Mitchell: “Oh yeah, we were safe on the board game episode.”
Luz Noceda: “Jeez, I hated that…”
Katie Mitchell: “Thank god it didn’t last longer.”
Luz Noceda: “You got that right.”
Jason: “Hey guys. Host is gonna start Pie or Die soon. Are you ready?”
Katie Mitchell: “Huh. Why doesn’t Host tell us?”
Jason: “I’m telling you ahead of time so he doesn’t jumpscare you.”
Katie Mitchell: “Oh, cool, thanks. Well, Luz, it was nice knowing you.”
Luz Noceda: “You two…”
Cut to Jason, Katie, and Luz heading to the table. Host, Sasha, Mando, and Annabeth are there already.
Host: “Hello, Katie and Luz. You two lost last time. Which means… it is time for one of you to go.”
Katie and Luz sit at the table, both of them very nervous.
Annabeth Chase: “Good luck, you two.”
Luz Noceda: “Thanks, Annabeth.”
Host: “So! With last episode’s 28 votes, the person leaving the show is…”
Host: “Katie! You got 18 votes, way more than Luz’s 10! That’s actually a world record! Most votes ever gotten in ECER, woo-hoo!”
Katie Mitchell: “Rats.”
Luz Noceda: “Nooo, Katie!”
Katie Mitchell: “Hey, it’s okay! 5th place isn’t that bad.”
Luz hugs Katie.
Luz Noceda: “I’ll miss you, Katie! I’m gonna win this for you!”
Katie Mitchell: (chuckles) “You better. Annabeth? Mando? Sasha? You guys were cool too! See you around, everyone!”
Host snaps his fingers and Katie gets teleported away.
Host: “Oh boy, final 4! How exciting is that? All of you haven’t gotten eliminated so fa- wait, Sasha is here, never mind.”
Sasha Waybright: “I was robbed so hard it’s not even funny.”
Host: “Haha, if you say that, Sasha. So now… it’s time for the final challenge of ECER!”
Host snaps his fingers and a MASSIVE course appears.
Host: “Do all the challenges again. The first person that win will have immunity! And everyone else will be up for elimination! TL:DR, one of you will get a free ticket to the finale.”
Sasha Waybright: “Nice!”
Everyone lines up at the first challenge. There is a table with four cakes on it.
Host: “3… 2… 1… BEGIN!”
The challenge begins! Sasha, Luz, and Annabeth all start eating their cakes. Mando picks up the cake and goes to hide behind and nearby… box? And he takes off his helmet to eat. Cut to Hopper running back to his old campsite with Monika and Jerry and his heels.
Hopper: “EVERYONE! Host is gonna keep your loved ones after the game is done!”
Rick Mitchell: “What? How do you know?”
Hopper: “We password-guessed his Chromebook and found a document about it!!”
Rick Mitchell: “You what?”
Winter Schnee: “Let me see that.”
Winter takes the Chromebook and reads the document.
Winter Schnee: “...how do you know this is real?”
Hopper: “How do you know it isn’t? Do you want your sister to stay here forever, Winter? What about your daughter, Rick? And your girlfriend, Percy? And your caretakers, friends, surrogate daughters, and, uh… owners?”
The Minecraft dog barks.
Hopper: “Even if this isn’t true… we need to do our very best to keep Host from doing this!”
Winter Schnee: “...alright. Let’s do it.”
Cut back to the contestants. Everyone is breezing through the first challenges. The girls have already finished and are on the next challenge, and Mando just finishes now. He goes to the next challenge, which is in an anti-gravity room, and uses his jetpack to zoom across the room and make it to the next.
Sasha Waybright: “Hey, watch where you’re going!”
Mando enters the next room, quickly makes a sandwich, and moves on. He then gets on a cardboard plane at an airport room and makes it to the next room. It’s a simulated jungle environment. He makes a campfire and sets it on fire. Meanwhile, Annabeth and Luz complete the asteroid challenge. Sasha is a bit behind, but the cooking challenge is an equalizer. They all quickly throw together sandwiches, breeze, through the airport challenge, and catch up with Mando, who is trying to keep his fire alight.
Annabeth Chase: “What do we do here? Do we just… do anything that can help us survive?”
The Mandalorian: “Seems like it.”
Annabeth climbs a palm tree and knocks down a coconut.
Annabeth Chase: “Does that count?”
Host (as a disembodied voice): “Yes.”
Sasha Waybright: “So I can do that too! Nice!”
Sasha jumps up and hacks off a coconut off the tree. Luz starts a fire and the four of them move on together.
Luz Noceda: “Oh yeah… this is when we, um, had to get along?”
Sasha Waybright: “We’ve already been getting along, though.”
Annabeth Chase: “True.”
They try to advance, but can’t. The door is locked.
Annabeth Chase: “Uh… Sasha! You’re my friend!”
Sasha Waybright: “We’re all friends here! Let’s have a group hug!”
The Mandalorian: (sighs) “Fine.”
They have a group hug for a few seconds and are able to move on the next challenge.
Sasha Waybright: “Okay, I was eliminated at this point. What do we do here?”
Annabeth Chase: “We have to, uh… murder each other. I think.”
Sasha Waybright: “Wait, what?!”
The Mandalorian: “That was the challenge…”
Host (as a disembodied voice): “Someone’s gonna have to die for all of you to move on.”
Without hesitation, Mando draws his gun and shoots Sasha, killing her.
Luz Noceda: “Yikes!”
The Mandalorian: “Sorry about that…”
Sasha respawns at the beginning of the challenge.
Sasha Waybright: “Are you kidding me?!”
Cue a montage of everyone else doing the challenge. Luz and Annabeth do well at the arts & crafts challenge, but Mando falls behind a bit. Annabeth moves ahead at the rock-climbing challenge and Luz lags behind, just as Mando finishes the arts & crafts challenge. He uses his jetpack to move up, leaving Luz in the dust.
Luz Noceda: “Hey!”
Cut to Hopper’s group falling through a long wormhole.
Marcy Wu: “Woah, this is cool.”
Percy Jackson: “So this is what it’s like in your portals, huh?”
Hopper: “Yeah, it feels longer than it actually is, so we have some time to chat.”
Silence.
Hopper: “What? Stop looking at me like that.”
Winter Schnee: “If this situation is as dire as you say, I do not want to make small talk.”
Hopper: “Okay then. We can just be quiet.”
They make it to the other side of the portal, into the eliminated contestant bunker.
Weiss Schnee: (gasps) “Winter?!”
Hopper: “Host is gonna keep all here forever! I TOLD you! Look, look, look!”
Everyone crowds around the Chromebook and reads the doc.
Edward Elric: “Wait, is this real?!”
Scrooge McDuck: “My lord, Host has HORRIBLE grammar!”
Tyler: “Wait a minute, I don’t wanna stay here forever!”
Hopper: “Which is why we gotta find a way into the void! Come on, come on, come on!”
Hopper opens another portal and everyone quickly enters it… besides for a few people.
Her: “I think I’ll stay in case anyone else gets eliminated.”
Eda Clawthorne: “Oh yeah, me too!”
Marcy Wu: “Yeah!”
Percy Jackson: “Me and the little green guy are also gonna stay.”
Hopper: “Okay. We’ll be back.”
Cut to Sasha speedrunning through all the early challenges. She makes it to the murder challenge… and can’t get through.
Sasha Waybright: “Oh, you have got to be…” (sighs) “What the hell can I do here?!”
Sasha looks around and sees a knife. And instantly, she knows what she must do. She picks up the knife and stabs herself in the abdomen.
Sasha Waybright: “AAAAAAAH!”
She is, however, able to make it to the next room.
Sasha Waybright: “Now that’s-” (cough) “BS.”
Cut to the three other contestants finding the pizza challenge. There is a table with four pizzas and the room has around 15 doors, each with a number. The pizzas all have a number as well.
Annabeth Chase: “Looks like he have to match the number on the pizza with the number on the doors.”
Luz Noceda: “Hm, sounds easy!”
Luz, Mando, and Annabeth each grab a pizza. Mando finds his door instantly but Luz and Annabeth don’t. Meanwhile, Sasha is done with the arts & crafts challenge and is on the climbing challenge… still with the knife in her abdomen.
Sasha Waybright: “Ow, ow, ow, ow, ow, ow, ow…”
Sasha manages to finish the climbing and make it to the next challenge, where Luz is just finishing up. She sees Sasha and gasps.
Luz Noceda: “Oh my gosh, what happened!?”
Sasha Waybright: “I-I had to… stab myself…”
Luz Noceda: “Oh, I am SO sorry-”
Sasha Waybright: “It’s not your fault, just lemme do the challenge, alright?”
Sasha grabs the pizza and looks for the right door as Luz enters the next challenge. Mando and Annabeth have both found a cardboard cutout of Camilo in a maze, so they both already moved on. Luz enters the maze and starts looking for him. Mando and Annabeth make it to the next challenge… the fighting challenge.
Annabeth Chase: Can we agree to not kill each other?”
The Mandalorian: “I shall accept those terms.
Annabeth Chase: “Thanks.”
Annabeth and Mando get into the fighting ring. Cut to Sasha entering the Camilo room. She enters the maze and quickly finds the cardboard cutout, getting out before Luz. She enters the next room to see Annabeth and Mando duking it out.
Sasha Waybright: “Great, this one. I’m going to do really well with a knife in my body.”
Mando uses his jetpack to propel himself towards Annabeth, who jumps over him to get out of the way. However, Mando grabs Annabeth and throws her off the platform, winning. He goes to the next challenge.
Annabeth Chase: “Gods, Sasha, what happened to-”
Annabeth and Sasha get teleported to the arena.
Annabeth Chase: “-oh. Well, just because you’re injured doesn’t mean I’ll go easy on you!”
Sasha Waybright: “Good, because neither will I!”
Sasha draws her swords and charges Annabeth… but stops instantly and screams in pain due to the knife.
Annabeth Chase: “Hey, you might want to take care of that. I would help you, but… I don’t really have anything to help you right now.”
Sasha Waybright: “It’s okay… it’s okay… I can walk it off. I’ll… I’ll walk it off.”
Annabeth Chase: “You know what? I forfeit. You can go ahead.”
Sasha Waybright: “Are you serious?!”
Annabeth Chase: “Yep. I can probably take Luz, to be honest.”
Sasha Waybright: “Thanks.”
Sasha makes it to the next room, where all she has to do is wait in the train for a minute. After that, she had to knock down a stack of bottles at a town fair-like environment. She then makes it to a room full of angry bees.
Sasha Waybright: “Wh-what the heck?! I don’t remember this challenge!”
Host (as a disembodied voice): “Yeah, because you SKIPPED IT. Now you gotta endure the bees for a minute.”
She does that and then walks into a street filled with zombies, where Mando is currently hiding behind and car and shooting them.
Sasha Waybright: “Hey, Mando! Thanks a lot for shooting me!”
The Mandalorian: (sighs) “Look, there was no other way.”
Sasha Waybright: “You could’ve shot Luz or Annabeth! I had to STAB myself!”
The Mandalorian: “Well, sorry. Hate the game, not the player.”
Sasha Waybright: “Good point. But still, I’m stung AND stabbed now! And it HURTS, Mando!”
Mando and Sasha make it past the zombies. Meanwhile, Annabeth is waiting for Luz.
Annabeth Chase: “I wonder what’s taking her so long.”
Cut to Luz in the maze.
Luz Noceda: “Where IS he?!”
Cut back to Mando and Sasha, entering the next challenge… the board game challenge. Both Mando and Sasha grab a token and move it to the center of the board, winning. They move onto the next challenge just as Luz FINALLY make it to the fighting challenge.
Luz Noceda: “Sorry it took a while-”
Annabeth and Luz get teleported to the arena.
Luz Noceda: “-oh. Guess we fight now.”
Annabeth Chase: “Yep.’
Annabeth draw her knife justas Luz draws four fire glyphs, activating all of them and shooting them at Annabeth. She dodges them all, though. This goes on for a while, just Luz spamming glyphs as Annabeth dodges them. Luz eventually runs out of glyphs and Annabeth wins by pushing her off.
Luz Noceda: “Aw man!”
Annabeth Chase: “Sorry, Luz! We’re both falling behind!”
Annabeth goes to the next challenge.
Luz Noceda: “Oh man, oh man, oh man! What do I do now?!”
Jason: “You can fight me.”
Jason and Luz are teleported to the arena.
Luz Noceda: “But I don’t have any glyphs left! I used them all up!”
Jason: “Oh… well, you can have this mace.”
Jason tosses Luz a mace and draws a sword.
Luz Noceda: “Oh, fun.”
They charge at each other and their weapons clash. They have an epic and intense fight, which I will not describe. Why? Because I’m LAZY. Anyways, Luz wins!
Jason: “Okay, you won! Go, go, go!”
Luz goes, goes, goes, to the next room. Cut to Annabeth, who is slowly making her way through the challenges. She goes past the train challenge, then the fair game challenge, then makes it to the bee room. She is able to endure the bees with only a few stings. She then makes it past the zombies and to the maze. Meanwhile, Luz had made it past the train and is trying to knock down the stack of bottles.
Luz Noceda: “Come on, come on…”
Luz knocks down the stack.
Luz Noceda: “YES!”
Luz goes into the bee room. Cut to Hopper’s group looking at the ruins of Hostville town hall.
Katie Mitchell: “Soooo… why are we here again?”
Hopper: “Host might’ve had some important things in the town hall.”
Camilo Madrigal: “Wouldn’t he have removed them before he, y’know, blew the entire city up?”
Remote: “No. When we escaped our prisons, he had a small underground section. We didn’t look around back then, but we can do so now.”
Rick Mitchell: “Yeah, the entrance should be around here somewhere…”
Winter stabs her sword into the ground and creates a massive glyph, summoning three massive pure white centipedes.
Winter Schnee: “You three. Go underground and search it for any hidden rooms.”
They do so.
Weiss Schnee: “Oh, I can summon too-”
Winter Schnee: “No, no, I have it under control.”
Hopper: “Great. Everyone else… look through the rubble.”
Cut to Sasha, Mando, and Annabeth running through the maze.
Sasha Waybright: “Stop following me!”
Annabeth Chase: “I’m literally in front of you.”
The Mandalorian: “There are only so many places where you can go in this maze.”
Sasha Waybright: “Let’s just all go our separate ways.”
The Mandalorian: “We’ll be able to follow you, though, since you’re dripping blood.”
Sasha Waybright: “Just don’t follow- AGH! Oh my god, it hurts!”
Luz enters the maze, covering with bee stings. Another door appears.
Annabeth Chase: “Oh, so this maze was a great equalizer…”
All four of them move on to the next challenge, which is a stage.
Jason: “Welcome, one and all, to the talent show. Who’s first?”
Sasha Waybright: “Me! I’ll-” (cough) “I’ll go!”
Jason: “You have a knife sticking out of your body-”
Sasha Waybright: “That won’t stop me! Let me up!”
Sasha climbs onto the stage and sings a single line.
Sasha Waybright: “ I’m a heartbreaker !”
Jason: “Cool, go ahead!”
Sasha advances.
Jason: “Mando, you’re ne-”
Mando shoots the microphone.
Jason: “Cool, you advance too!”
Sasha advances to the next challenge, where Host is at.
Host: “So… tell me why I should let you through?”
Sasha Waybright: “Because I had to stab myself to be here?”
Host: “That’s not a very good reason. Many people are stabbed, but they don’t win anything! They die.”
Sasha Waybright: “I’m - hngh - going to die!”
Host: “Well, that sucks.”
Mando enters the room.
Host: “Mando! Why should I let you through?”
Mando points his gun at him.
The Mandalorian: “That’s why.”
Host: “...HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! No.”
Sasha Waybright: “Ugh… oh god… this hurts like crazy…”
The Mandalorian: “...you know what? Lemme help you.”
Mando pulls out the knife, making Sasha gasps in pain… but then he uses his flamethrower to weld the wound shut.
The Mandalorian: “It should still hurt, but you won’t die.”
Sasha Waybright: “Like I died earlier.”
The Mandalorian: “Sorry.”
Sasha Waybright: “I’d probably do the same, to be honest.”
The Mandalorian: “...I know.”
Host: “WOO, FRIENDSHIP! You guys can both go ahead!”
Sasha Waybright: “Oh, thank god!”
They both go ahead. Cut to Luz on the stage.
Jason: “Come on, Luz, you gotta do something.”
Luz Noceda: “Um… hmm… I don’t-” (gasps) “Annabeth! Let’s do a duo act so we can both go on!”
Annabeth Chase: “Sure-”
Luz throws her mace at Annabeth. She catches it.
Jason: “That counts! Go, go, go!”
They both go ahead. Cut to Sasha and Mando.
The Mandalorian: “How’s your wound holding up?”
Sasha Waybright: “Good. This is the last challenge, right? Host isn’t going to make us do it all again?”
The Mandalorian: “God, I hope not.”
Sasha Waybright: “I would be so mad.”
Sasha pulls out a piece of paper she has on her for some reason and starts to fold it.
The Mandalorian: “I won’t stop you.”
Sasha Waybright: “What?”
The Mandalorian: “You did most of the challenge in great pain. I had armor on. And besides… I think you deserve it.”
Sasha Waybright: “Wow, thanks! Time to WIN!”
Sasha creates a table football.
Sasha Waybright: “The challenge is to flick this table football and-”
Host: “SASHA WINS!”
Host snaps his fingers and everyone gets teleported to the start of the course.
Luz Noceda: “Aw, so close! Good job, though, Sasha.”
Annabeth Chase: “I believe this is the last elimination before the finale, correct?”
Jason: “Ye-”
Host: “SHUT UP! Yeah, you’re right. This will be the final elimination! And the final three… WILL BE ABLE TO WIN!!!”

Her, Percy, Eda, Marcy, and Grogu are seen in the eliminated contestant bunker, sitting around.
Her: “Who do you guys think is gonna be the next person eliminated?”
Eda Clawthorne: “I’m pretty sure we all agree that we don’t want it to be our loved one.”
Percy Jackson: “Yep.”
Grogu agrees by making a cool noise.
Her: “Well-”
Suddenly, the entire bunker starts rumbling.
Percy Jackson: “What is that ?”
Cut to above, where Hopper’s group has found an airship.
Hopper: “Someone go down there and pick them up!”
Rick Mitchell: “Someone honk the horn!”
Hopper: “There IS no horn! It’s a massive airship! Ugh, I… I need to ask advice from someone. Rick, you man the airship.”
Rick Mitchell: “I’ll try!”
Winter Schnee: “ I will man the airship. I’ve actually piloted one before.”
Rick Mitchell: “Oh, phew, that means I won’t have to embarrass myself, haha-”
Hopper goes to a side room and opens a red portal. He steps into it and enters a small mini-dimension. And there, sitting on a bench, is Thanos.
Hopper: “Hello, Thanos.”
Thanos: “Well… it seems as if you could not execute your plans without any outside help. And where did that bring you? Back to me.”
