Chapter Text

The episode starts with all 21 contestants standing in a white void in silence.

Luz Noceda: “How did I get here?”

Scrooge McDuck: “Well, I was minding my own business, swimming in my money bin, when I ended up here! This is very strange, indeed…”

Ibuki Mioda: “No way! Is that an Irish duck?”

Scrooge McDuck: “I’m SCOTTISH! There’s a difference, lassie!”

Ibuki Mioda: “Ooooh… that’s the bagpipe place, isn’t it?”

Scrooge McDuck: “Yes, exactly that!”

Sorbet Shark Cookie: “OooO00ooOo!”

Beat.

Scrooge McDuck: “What?”

Cut to Wii Fit Trainer, Black Hole, and Edward. There are several more people wandering around in the background.

Black Hole: “So… how are you two doing?”

Edward Elric: “Oh, I’m totally fine, couldn’t be better- WHAT DO YOU THINK?! We’re all trapped in some freaky void! Do you think I’m doing fine?!”

Black Hole: “Sorry, I was just asking.”

Wii Fit Trainer: “I’m sensing a lot of hostility. Perhaps you should try breathing-”

Edward Elric: “Don’t tell me to relax! What if we’re all trapped here forever?!”

Black Hole: “Why don’t you try finding an exit?”

Edward Elric: “How?”

Black Hole: “Hm… the void looks like it goes on forever. Maybe try walking away.”

Edward Elric: “Hmph. Don’t really have any other choice here.”

Ed tries walking away… only to wind up on the other side of the void. Mando sees him.

Edward Elric: “Dammit!”

The Mandalorian: “...let me try something.”

Mando pulls out his gun and shoots into the void. The bullet ends up shooting him in the back.

The Mandalorian: “Ow, crap! But we know that we’re trapped in some kind of loop now… trying to leave will do absolutely nothing.”

Edward Elric: “You gotta be kidding! There’s gotta be some way outta here!”

The Mandalorian: “I doubt it, kid.”

Edward Elric: “I’m not a kid!” (points to Caillou, sitting not too far away) “THAT’S a kid!”

Caillou: “I WANNA GO HOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOME!”

Weiss Schnee: “Oh my god, please be quiet! The last thing I need right now is a whiny kid!”

Caillou: “WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH, THE WHITE-HAIRED GIRL IS BEING MEAN TO MEEEEEEEEEE!!!”

Caillou slams his fists against the ground repeatedly.

Weiss Schnee: “Okay, you know what? I’m not dealing with this!”

Weiss walks away, and runs into Hilda, who looks all too amazed by the strange new location she’s in.

Hilda: “Woah… this is new…”

Weiss Schnee: “Hey, I don’t expect you to know how to answer this, but do you have any idea what’s going on here?”

Hilda: “No, but I really wish I did!”

Weiss Schnee: (sighs) “Me too. I suppose there’s nothing else to do but ask around.”

Weiss walks away. Hilda just wanders in the opposite direction. She comes across Ibuki, Katie, and Luz hanging out.

Ibuki Mioda: “Ooh! Maybe we’ve been captured by evil alien space clowns who wanna try and suck our blood! I saw a really scary movie with a similar premise!”

Katie Mitchell: “Geez, that sounds messed up. What movie?”

Ibuki Mioda: “I forgot, but it had the word ‘clowns’ in the title. And I’m pretty sure it was spelled with a K instead of a C.”

Luz Noceda: “That reminds me of some of the animes I’ve watched! Have you guys ever seen Monster Slayer Academia?”

Katie Mitchell: “Nope.”

Luz Noceda: “Oh… but have you at least read The Good Witch Azura series?!”

Katie Mitchell: “I’ve… never heard of that. Is it some niche series that has a really small fanbase?”

Luz Noceda: “No! It’s a New York Times best seller! There’s 5 volumes!”

Katie Mitchell: “Huh… that’s cool, I guess. I might check it out… somehow. This place doesn’t have wi-fi.”

Ibuki Mioda: “WHAT?!”

Ibuki checks her phone, which she for whatever reason has with her. No bars.

Ibuki Mioda: “NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!”

Katie Mitchell: (solemnly) “I know.”

Luz Noceda: “Oh no, how am I going to text my mom now?! She’ll think something horrible happened to me!”

Katie Mitchell: “Oh crap, that’s right! My family’s going to be worried sick…”

Mr. Clean: “Pardon me, ladies, but would any of you be interested in purchasing a high-class Mr. Clean® Magic Eraser?”

Luz Noceda: “A magic eraser?” (gasps) “You know magic? Are you from the Boiling Isles?!”

Mr. Clean: “I’m sorry? I do not know what you’re talking about, miss. I am simply trying to achieve my life goals: clean up every mess that people make.”

Ibuki Mioda: “Hmmmmmmmmm… Does it perform actual magic?”

Mr. Clean: “No, but it’s like magic.”

Ibuki Mioda: “Deal’s off, bud.”

Mr. Clean: “Now, wait a minute! Did you know that this Magic Eraser can take on any stain, big or small. Soda, grime, even permanent marker! Just one eraser is powerful enough to clean all kinds of different surfaces.”

Ibuki Mioda: “My man.” (beat) “How many filthy surfaces do you see here? It’s all this weird, white concrete and unless I’m seeing things, everything’s as white as snow.”

Mr. Clean: “Fair enough.” 

Ibuki Mioda: “Exactly, so then why are you still here?”

Mr. Clean: “I’ll suppose I’ll go spread my message elsewhere. Remember, there’s no clean like Mr. Clean!”

He walks off. Cut to Annabeth walking around. 

Annabeth Chase: “Okay, Annabeth… there has to be a logical explanation for this… did I do anything to piss off Hera lately? Well, I suppose my entire existence pisses her off, but…”

Annabeth spots a piece of paper on the ground with a drawing of a woman on it. The word “Cassandra” is written below it.

Annabeth Chase: “...”

Cassy turns her head to look at Annabeth.

Annabeth Chase: “Gah! Uh, hi? Are you alive?”

Cassy nods and signs something. Annabeth picks up the paper.

Annabeth Chase: “...is that ASL?”

Cassy nods again, then points to her name.

Annabeth Chase: “Your name is Cassandra… alright then…”

Silence.

Annabeth Chase: “So, uh… Cassy? It’s okay if I call you that, right?”

Cassy nods.

Annabeth Chase: “Alright, cool. Do you know what’s going on here?”

Cassy shakes her head.

Annabeth Chase: “Yeah, figures. Do you mind if I fold your paper? So I can, like, put you in my pocket?”

Cassy nods and smiles.

Annabeth Chase: “Got it.”

Annabeth does so. Cut to Tyler and Sasha.

Tyler: “Uh… nice weather we’re having?”

Sasha Waybright: “What weather?”

Tyler: “The, uuuhh, weather… here.”

Sasha Waybright: “We’re in a white void, you moron! This isn’t the time for small talk!”

The camera pans to the left, revealing another Sasha.

“Sasha Waybright”: “We’re in a white void, you moron! This isn’t the time for small talk!”

Sasha Waybright: “Wha- hey! I don’t sound like that!”

“Sasha” morphs back into Camillo.

Camillo Madrigal: “Yes, you do.”

Tyler: “Woah! How’d you do that?!”

Camillo Madrigal: “Oh, this?”

Camillo shapeshifts into Tyler.

“Tyler”: “This is my gift!”

Tyler: “Whaaaaaaaaaaaat?”

“Tyler” shapeshifts back into Camillo.

Sasha Waybright: “Isn’t that an invasion of privacy?

Camillo Madrigal: “How?”

Sasha Waybright: “I don’t know, man, just stop doing that!”

Camillo shapeshifts into “Sasha.”

“Sasha Waybright”: “I don’t know, man, just stop-”

Steve wanders onto the screen, getting weird looks from all 3 people. “Sasha” shapeshifts back into Camillo.

Camillo Madrigal: “Is it just me, or does that guy look a little… blocky?”

Steve looks at Camillo for about three seconds and runs off. He runs to Top Cat, who is just minding his own business. When Steve sees Top Cat, he crouches and starts slowly walking towards him.

Top Cat: “What are you doing?”

Steve keeps inching towards him, pulling out a piece of cooked salmon.

Top Cat: “Salmon? No thanks. I’m cravin’ a nice, t-bone steak cooked medium rare with a side of mashed potatoes and green beans. You don’t have any of that, do ya?”

Steve shakes his head.

Top Cat: “Gee, that’s too bad!”

Top Cat kicks Steve, sending him flying to the other side of the void, right next to The Grinch. The Grinch looks so peeved, that he could start a riot.

The Grinch: “What is the meaning of all this noise?! I just wanted some peace and quiet!”

Steve just runs off to do whatever you do in a white void. The Grinch still looks very annoyed.

The Grinch: “Harumph! I’d take the Hoos over these people any day!”

???: “Well, sir, if you wish, you can return back to your regular life, which is mirthless and grey.”

The Grinch turns to see a new face, a man wearing a tuxedo and sunglasses.

???: “Don’t be alarmed! I can’t just go around revealing myself to the masses.”

The Grinch is obviously taken aback by this man.

The Grinch: “Who in the world are you?!”

???: “My name is Host… man. I’m just gonna get everyone’s attention real quick.”

Host whistles loudly. The sound of the whistle echoes all over the void. It’s EXTREMELY loud. Most people cover their ears.

Edward Elric: “My ears!”

Sorber Shark Cookie: “O0O0o0o0o0oO0O!?”

Host: “Hello, everyone! My name is, um, Host.”

Silence. Ibuki coughs.

Host: “I’ll be your host.”

Scrooge McDuck: “Host? For what?!”

The Mandalorian: “Wait a minute, did you bring us here?”

Host: “Yep, I sure did!”

The Mandalorian: “...in that case…”

Mando pulls out his blaster and holds it against Host’s forehead.

The Mandalorian: “Let. Us go. Now.”

Host: “...wow. What a barbarian. I just introduce myself and you’re already threatening to shoot me? Do you do that with everyone you meet?”

Mando stays silent, keeping his gun pointed to Host’s forehead.

Host: “Okay.”

Host waves his hand, and Mando gets flung across the void. He lands between Hilda and Edward with a thud.

Hilda: “Woah! How’d you do that ?!”

Host: “He’s dead.”

Hilda: “What?”

Scrooge runs over to Mando, kneels down, and checks his pulse.

Scrooge McDuck: “Well, would you look at that!”

Edward Elric: “Look at what?!”

Scrooge McDuck: “He’s dead.”

Edward Elric: “WHAT?!” (to Host) “You bastard! Do you value life so little that you’d murder someone without a second thought?!”

Host: “Yep.”

Edward Elric: “Wha- you aren’t a Homunoculi, are you!?”

Host: “Nope, I’m just your friendly host!”

Katie Mitchell: “Friendly my butt! You just killed that guy!”

Black Hole: “Guys, I know that death is bad, but can always just recover him.”

Luz Noceda: “You mean, like, bring him back to life?!”

Edward Elric: “ARE YOU GUYS CRAZY?! We can’t do that! We need to deal with that crazy guy who-”

Host: “Check this out!”

Host snaps his fingers and Mando’s corpse disappears. Mando soon appears right next to Host, alive and well.

The Mandalorian: “What the… where… I’m back!?”

Black Hole: “See?”

Host: “Yep, I can bring back the dead with the snap of my fingers.”

Edward Elric: “A-are you kidding?! Do you have any idea how dangerous human transmutation-”

Silence.

Edward Elric: “That… wasn’t transmutation.”

Top Cat: “What the heck are you talkin’ about?”

Host: “NOT IMPORTANT! Ed, you need to stop talking.”

Edward Elric: “HEY!”

Host: “So, I assume you’re all wondering why I brought you here.”

Weiss Schnee: “Yes, we are.”

Host: “That’s great!... now, I will assign your teams because having you form them yourself will take too long.”

Weiss Schnee: “What?! You didn’t even-”

Host: “Team 1 will be Katie, Ibuki, Hilda, Luz, Wii Fit Trainer, Tyler, and Steve.”

Host snaps his fingers and a red platform appears. The 7 people mentioned get teleported to it.

Host: “Team 2 will be Din-”

The Mandalorian: “I go by one name, and that’s Mando.”

Host: “Okay, Din. You, Annabeth, Edward, Grinch, Black Hole, Scrooge, and SCP-085/Cassy are Team 2.”

Host snaps his fingers and a green platform appears. The 7 people mentioned get teleported to it.

Host: “Finally, Weiss, Sorbet Shark Cookie, Caillou, Camilo, Top Cat, Mr. Clean, and Sasha are Team 3.”

Host snaps his fingers and… oh, you know.

Katie Mitchell: “Hey, Host! You still need to tell us what the heck is going on!”

Host: “Okay, we’re playing a game.”

Silence.

Sasha Waybright: “A game, huh? Sounds fun. What kind of game?”

Host: “A very, very fun game.”

Tyler: “Yahtzee?”

Black Hole: “Oh no, I can see where this is going.”

Host: “It’s a very, very cool game. First, you need to name your teams.”

Annabeth Chase: “Why-”

Host: “Because I said so.”

Annabeth Chase: … (sighs) “I guess we have no choice but to humor you, do I? Fine. In honor of my mother, our team name is η σοφία κυριαρχεί!”

Scrooge McDuck: “Greek, eh? I like that name!”

Edward Elric: “Huh… I’ve never heard that language before.”

Annabeth Chase: “Greek?”

Edward Elric: “Yeah, where’s it from?”

Annabeth Chase: “Uh… Greece?”

Silence.

Edward Elric: “What?”

Host: “Okay, next team. Team 1. What is your name?”

Katie Mitchell: “Okay, gang, our name needs to be something cool!”

Tyler: “How about ‘cool’?”

Katie Mitchell: “No, not literally cool, like-”

Luz Noceda: “How about THE Cool?”

Tyler: “That’s just my name but with-”

Katie Mitchell: “Eh, I’ll allow it.”

Luz Noceda: “Yay!”

Host: “Okay, cool, what about Team 3?”

Camilo Madrigal: “We’re still deciding.”

Host: “Awesome. So, since we’re all named, it’s challenge time.”

Silence.

Camilo Madrigal: “You know we didn’t actually name-”

Host: “So, this is the first challenge.”

Host snaps his fingers and 3 massive, 3-tiered cakes appear.

Host: “Eat this cake. Last team to eat their cake… loses. Go.”

Silence.

Sasha Waybright: “O… kay? I guess we have no choice but to-”

Camilo Madrigal: “I’ve always wanted to do this!”

Camilo runs up to the cake and starts scooping handfuls of it into his mouth.

Camilo Madrigal: “Id’z deligus!”

Weiss Schnee: “Ugh… well, good luck with that.”

Cut to η σοφία κυριαρχεί.

Edward Elric: “Look at that! The other teams have started the challenge without question!”

Black Hole: “Well, it’s free cake and I’d assume most people would be pretty hungry by now.”

Scrooge McDuck: “I’ll pass on this one. Wouldn’t want my cholesterol to go up, would I?”

Annabeth Chase: “So, here’s the plan. We could split the cake into 7 slices, so we’d all have less to eat and-”

Silence.

Annabeth Chase: “Wait, Black Hole, you can suck things up, right?”

Black Hole: “Well, yeah, I’m a black hole.”

Annabeth Chase: “Oh. Then why aren’t we being- ah, never mind. Suck up the cake.”

Black Hole: “Alright.”

Black Hole flies over to the cake. It gets sucked into him.

Host: “The team with a weird Greek name is safe.”

Annabeth Chase: “Yes!”

Edward and Annabeth high five. Cut to The Cool. Everyone but Steve is basically doing the same thing Camilo’s doing.

Hilda: “I wish we had Black Hole on our team.”

Wii Fit Trainer: “I think we should take a break. Eating too fast could give you a heart attack.”

Katie Mitchell: “No way! We can’t stop now! Not when we’re this far in-”

Ibuki Mioda (mouth full): “We’fe onby eaben, lige, lezz than have of id.”

Katie Mitchell: “Well, if we’re ahead of the other team, we should be good!”

Cut back to still deciding. Camilo is starting to slow down his eating.

Camilo Madrigal: “Can someone help me?”

Top Cat: “Sure! What kind of cake is it?”

Camilo Madrigal: “Coconut.”

Top Cat: “Oh! Never mind, then! I’ll be rootin’  for you!”

Sasha Waybright: “Please tell me you do not like coconut.”

Camilo Madrigal: “Hey, cake is cake!”

Weiss Schnee: “You know what kind of cake I’m craving? A black forest gateau with a crunchy shortbread base, multiple layers of praline, and a glossy cocoa finish.”

Sasha Waybright: “Daaang, girl, you have good taste.”

Weiss Schnee: “I know, but thank you!”

Cut to The Cool. They are all just sitting around a half-eaten cake, looking dejected.

Ibuki Mioda: “Ugh… Ibuki never wants to eat cake again…”

Wii Fit Trainer: “Taking a break will do you some good. You wouldn’t want to overeat.”

Katie Mitchell: “Hey, where’s Steve? Did he just leave us?”

Hilda: “Probably. Steve really just wanders around all the time.”

Katie Mitchell: “I guess there he won’t be much help, then…”

Cut back to Still Deciding.

Caillou: “LOOK WHAT I FOUND!”

Caillou holds up a box of razors.

Sorbet Shark Cookie: “O0OooO0oo00o0o!”

Weiss Schnee: “Where did you find them?”

Caillou: “I’M GOING TO PUT THEM IN THE CAKE!!!!!!!”

Weiss draws her rapier and shoots ice out of its tip, freezing Caillou in a block of ice.

Weiss Schnee: “No.”

Sasha Waybright: “WHAT?! How did you do that?!”

Weiss Schnee: “Oh, my sword has a Dust chamber.”

Sasha Waybright: “Uh, okay. That was pretty cool, though! Pun intended.”

Weiss Schnee: “My Myrtenaster is a refined piece of Atlas technology!”

Sasha Waybright: “Oh boy, more words I don’t know. But anyways-”

Camilo Madrigal: “We’re going to lose.”

Sasha Waybright: “Whaaaaaat? No, we aren’t! Don’t be like that-”

Camilo Madrigal: “I mean, it’s true, isn’t it? You guys won’t help me out here-”

Sorbet Shark Cookie: “O0O0o0oO0oo0o?”

Camilo Madrigal: “...sure?”

Sorbet Shark Cookie jumps into the cake and starts eating away, much faster than Camilo was.

Top Cat: “Yippee! We’re saved!”

Mr. Clean: “I’ll help too!”

Sasha Waybright: “Great!”

Mr. Clean whips out his Mr. Clean Deluxe Angle Broom ™ and starts sweeping the crumbs away.

Sasha Waybright: “Oh.”

Cut to The Cool. They haven’t resumed eating.

Katie Mitchell: “Oh crap! They’re gonna win! Come on, guys, we gotta keep eating!”

Steve then wanders onto the screen and spots the cake. Steve then eats the cake in 8 bites. Steve leaves as he finishes the cake. The rest of his team stare at where the cake used to be.

Luz Noceda: “Did we just win?!”

Host: “Yes.”

Sasha Waybright: (off-screen) “NOOOOOOOOOOOOO!”

Annabeth Chase: “The duality of man!”

Host: “Get outta here.”

Host flings Annabeth across the void, then teleports over to Still Deciding.

Host: “You lose.”

Top Cat: “Luz is on the other team!”

Host: “So, now, the viewers are going to vote one of you guys to leave the show, and one of you guys to get a prize.”

Sasha Waybright: “That’s not fair! They- they-”

Host: “Came in clutch, yes. You guys lost, fair and square.”

Sorbet Shark Cookie: “O0o0o0O0o0o000ooooo…”

Camilo Madrigal: “This kinda sucks.”

Weiss Schnee: “I know, it does! I hate losing! But I guess there isn’t anything to do now except hope for the best… and get good.”

VIEWERS! Vote with THIS link!: VOTING IS CLOSED! Thank you all for reading!

The stinger shows Edward and Scrooge sitting on the floor, looking at Cassy. The paper is now folded into four squares.

Edward Elric: “I’m telling you, that drawing is alive!”

Scrooge McDuck: “Bah! I think It’s just one of those cellular phones!”

Edward Elric: “Well, if it is alive-”

Cassy turns and glares at Edward.

Edward Elric: “Okay, it- uh, she is definitely alive!”

Annabeth then lands on the ground next to them.

Annabeth Chase: “Ow.”

Chapter Text

The episode starts with Still Deciding sitting around the void.

Sasha Waybright: “Ugh, I still can’t believe we lost!”

Camilo Madrigal: “I never want to eat cake again!”

Weiss is angrily looking at the other teams, who are hanging out on the other sides of the void. η σοφία κυριαρχεί seems to be planning something, while The Cool is having a yoga session led by Wii Fit Trainer.

Weiss Schnee: “Look at them, being all happy! Don’t they see us being miserable?!”

Top Cat: “It’s probably because they won.”

Weiss Schnee: “I know that! You don’t need to rub it in!”

Caillou: “SOMEONE UNFREEZE ME!”

Caillou’s bottom half is still stuck in the block of ice.

Weiss Schnee: “No.”

Caillou: “WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH! I’M GONNA TELL HOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOST!”

Sasha Waybright: “Can you freeze him again?”

Sorbet Shark Cookie: “O0oO0o0O0o0o0o0Oo!”

Sasha Waybright: “Dude, you know that nobody understands you, right? You’re not as bad as the bald kid, but-”

Mr. Clean: “Why do you say ‘bald kid’ like being bald is a bad thing?”

Sasha Waybright: “Because bald people are-”

Mr Clean: “‘,:|“

Sasha Waybright: “...very… cool! It’s just that CAILLOU-”

Caillou: “I DIDN’T DO ANYTHIIIING!”

Weiss Schnee: “You tried to sabotage the team!”

Caillou: “BUT I DIDN’T!”

Weiss Schnee: “But you tried !”

Caillou: “WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH! YOU GUYS ARE MEAN!”

Cut to η σοφία κυριαρχεί. They are all standing around in a circle.

Black Hole: “So, basically, the viewers tend to vote out the meanest contestants first.”

Edward Elric: “I guess The Grinch won’t last long, then!”

Black Hole: “Yeah, probably not.”

The Grinch’s brow furrows. But getting into arguments, he did not want.

Edward Elric: “I’m still confused about this Cassy girl. I’ve seen some weird stuff, but can a living drawing really exist?”

Scrooge McDuck: “Eh, I’ve seen weirder.”

Cassy is still on the floor, now looking quite annoyed by the creases on her paper.

Edward Elric: “So-”

Host appears next to Edward.

Edward Elric: “AH-”

Host: “Pie or Die.”

The Mandalorian: “What?”

Host: “Wrong team, my bad.”

Cut to The Cool. Wii Fit Trainer is still leading her team (minus Steve) through a fitness lesson.

Wii Fit Trainer: “...as you exhale, bend your pelvis to the left and your arms to the right.”

Wii Fit Trainer does this, and everyone struggles to copy her. Host appears next to Tyler.

Host: “Pie or Die.”

Tyler: “YIPE!”

Tyler loses his balance and falls onto Ibuki, causing the entire team to fall like dominos.

Host: “Wrong team again, my bad.”

Cut to Still Deciding, now bickering.

Caillou: “I. Want. CAAAAAAAAAAAAKE!”

Sorbet Shark Cookie: “O0oO0o0!”

Host teleports to them.

Host: “Pie or Die”

Sasha Waybright: “We didn’t lose.”

Host: “Oh, wrong team, my bad.”

Host teleports away. 2 seconds of silence pass before he teleports back to them.

Host: “RIGHT team, YOUR bad.”

Cut to the members of Still Deciding, all strapped to chairs hanging over a circular, metal frame. Host is standing on it.

Host: “Hello, Still Deciding. You guys lose last round, which means that you must go through the first-ever Pie or Die ceremony. The viewers have voted one of you to get a prize… and one of you to be eliminated.”

Mr. Clean: “Don’t worry! If any of you drop your pie on the floor, I’ve got you covered!”

Host: “Firstly, let’s see how many votes we have.”

Host snaps his fingers and a small TV screen pops up next to him. It displays the number “8.”

Host: “Eight! Not bad.”

Weiss Schnee: “Pfft- HA- only EIGHT?!”

Host: “Shut up! It’s good for the first episode, okay?! Anyways, the person getting the prize is Camilo-”

Camilo Madrigal: “WOO”

Host: “-with a whopping 3 votes. Congratulations! Let the wheel decide your fate.”

Host snaps his fingers and a wheel appears next to him, bearing the names of several prizes. Host spins it, and it eventually lands on “M&Ms”. Host reaches into his pocket and tosses Camilo a pack of M&Ms.

Camilo Madrigal: “WOO”

Host: “Okay! Now, it’s time for the fun part!”

Host pulls out a pie, sliced into 6 pieces.

Host: “Hence the name of this segment, if you don’t get a slice of pie… you will die.”

Everyone shifts in their seats nervously.

Host: “Just kidding! I won’t kill you!”

Sasha Waybright: “You killed Man-”

Host: “You get sent to the shadow realm.”

A black portal appears inside the metal frame. The only thing preventing everyone from getting instantly sucked in is the restraining devices on their chairs.

Weiss Schnee: “GAH!”

Sasha Waybright: “WHAT THE HECK IS THAT?!”

Host: “The shadow realm. Anyways-”

Sasha Waybright: “YOU CAN’T JUST DO THAT AND NOT EXPLAIN!”

Host: “That’s exactly what I intend on doing! So, today’s pie is apple pie!”

Top Cat: “That would be swell if I wasn’t absolutely terrified right now!”

Host: “Sorbet Shark Cookie, Sasha, and Top Cat. The 3 of you got 0 votes, therefore, you are safe.”

Host tosses each of them a slice of cake. Everyone but Sasha gobbles their slice up in seconds.

Weiss Schnee: “Wait a minute, someone voted for me?!”

Host: “Yep!”

Beat.

Host: “Anyways, the next people safe are Mr. Clean and Camilo, with 1 vote each!”

Host tosses both of them a slice of pie. Camilo eats his in seconds.

Sasha Waybright: “Urgh, I thought you said you’d give that up!”

Camilo Madrigal: “I said cake, not pie.”

Host: “Weiss and Caillou. The bottom 2. One of you will be going home-”

Sasha Waybright: “Lies!”

Host: “-and the other will be staying here another day. Who will it be? Who’ll claim the last slice of pie?! Who’ll DIE?!”

Silence.

Host: “Caillou… with 6 votes, you’ve been eliminated.”

Caillou: “WHAT?!”

Weiss Schnee: “YES!”

Host: “Weiss, with 1 vote, you are safe.”

Host tosses Weiss a slice of cake.

Host: “Any last words, you little bald menace?”

Caillou: “I DON’T WANNA GOOOOOOOOOO!”

Host: “Oof.”

With a snap of his finger, Host undoes Caillou’s restraining device, letting him get sucked into the shadow realm as he screams loudly. The portal turns off and the remaining members of still deciding are set free.

Weiss Schnee: “I just knew I’d be safe!”

Sasha Waybright: “Yeah. And you know what? I’m glad!”

Sasha then notices Camilo eating his M&Ms, occasionally tossing one into Sorbet Shark Cookie’s mouth.

Sasha Waybright: “Ooooh, can I have one?”

Camilo Madrigal: “Sorry, these are for people who did the challenge last episode!”

Sasha Waybright: “I-”

Host: “CHALLENGE TIME!”

Host snaps his fingers and the other two teams are teleported to him.

Tyler: “Wah-”

Host: Hello, it is time for the second challenge. You guys excited for a little fun on the sun?”

Ibuki Mioda: “Oh, are we having a beach episode?! I should’ve brought my swimsuit! I love-”

A rocketship appears next to Host.

Host: “Get in.”

Hard cut to everyone in the rocketship, flying towards the “sky”, or whatever there is in a white void.

Edward Elric: “A flying machine?! I’ve never seen such a thing!”

Annabeth Chase: “Are you serious? Planes have been used since 1914!”

Edward Elric: “What?! What are you talking about?! It’s not 1914 yet!”

Annabeth Chase: “It’s… 2010.”

Edward Elric: “HUH?!”

Pan over to The Cool.

Wii Fit Trainer: “I wonder where Host is taking us…”

Ibuki Mioda: “Man, I thought we were gonna go to the beach or something!”

Katie Mitchell: “Hey, you guys don’t think that he didn’t mean literally fun on the sun, did he?”

Suddenly, the void turns black. Everyone crowds around the window to see that they are now in outer space, facing the sun and a lot of asteroids.

Hilda: “We’re in space?!”

Host: “Yes sir! This is the second challenge. You will all be sent out onto space. The first team to have any of their contestants fall into the sun and DIE loses!”

Scrooge McDuck: “How do we breath?”

Host: “Just breath.”

The Mandalorian: “I have experience driving spaceships, but I’ve never actually been outside in the galaxy…”

Host: “Cool. You guys ready?”

Everyone: “No!”

Host: “Cool, sending you out now.”

Cut to outside the spaceship. All 20 contestants get flung out.

Wii Fit Trainer: “Everyone, link hands!”

Wii Fit Trainer grabs Katie’s hand, who grabs Ibuki’s, who grabs Luz’s. Hilda, Tyler, and Steve are too far away to grab on. Meanwhile, most of η σοφία κυριαρχεί are orbiting around Black Hole, besides Cassy, who is floating towards the sun.

Edward Elric: “Someone needs to go get the paper girl!”

Annabeth Chase: “Her name is Cassy. ”

The Mandalorian: “I got it.”

Mando uses his jetpack to fly off, grab Cassy, and fly back to his team.

Edward Elric: “Great! Now, let’s see if my alchemy still works…”

Edward claps his hands, and the asteroids around η σοφία κυριαρχεί turn into a hard rock cocoon. Pan to Still Deciding, all of them standing on a large platform dangerously close to the sun.

Mr. Clean: “Are you sure this is safe?”

Weiss Schnee: “Absolutely! You’re all standing on one of my Glyphs right now!”

Camilo Madrigal: “That doesn’t really explain what it is.”

Weiss Schnee: (sighs) “I made it with my Semblance.”

Beat.

Weiss Schnee: “Don’t look at me like that! There’s no way you don’t know what a Semblance is! Camilo, you have one!”

Camilo Madrigal: “Uh, no.”

Weiss Schnee: “What?! What do you call your shapeshifting, then!?”

Camilo shapeshifts into Weiss.

“Weiss Schnee”: “A gift.”

Weiss Schnee: “Yes, a gift is another word to describe a Semblance!”

“Weiss” shapeshifts back into Camilo.

Camilo Madrigal: “You’re weird.”

Weiss Schnee: “I am NOT-”

Cut to The Cool, still holding hands in space. The closest to them is Steve, who is standing on one of the asteroids.

Luz Noceda: “STEEEEEEVE! Come grab my hand!”

Steve starts punching the asteroid underneath him.

Katie Mitchell: “What is he doing ?”

Luz Noceda: “Maybe he’s… mining?”

Katie looks at their other teammates. Hilda is jumping from asteroid to asteroid, trying to get to them. Tyler is holding onto one of the asteroids for dear life. Said asteroid is slowly heading towards the sun.

Luz Noceda: “I’m worried about Tyler! He looks like he’s heading right into the sun!”

Wii Fit Trainer: “It’s a wonder how he isn’t getting heavily sunburned right now…”

Ibuki Mioda: “All of us would be burnt to a crisp by now if it weren’t for Host’s wacky powers!”

Wii Fit Trainer: “True. I think I’ll try helping our teammates now.”

Wii Fit Trainer lets go of Katie’s hand and uses η σοφία κυριαρχεί’s cocoon to propel herself towards Steve. Cut to inside of η σοφία κυριαρχεί’s cocoon. Annabeth is looking at Cassy, who is just laying down on the floor… of her paper.

Annabeth Chase: “Um… are you okay?”

Cassy shakes her head.

Scrooge McDuck: “Try drawing something, maybe?”

Annabeth Chase: “Um, okay. Does anyone here have something I can write with?”

The Grinch: “Why do you waste your time with that drawing of filth?”

Annabeth Chase: “She’s just a human, Grinch, just like the rest of us.”

The Grinch: “Bah! I’m a human!”

Edward Elric: “What’s wrong with you, man?”

Black Hole: “Yeah, we’re trying to be nice. You should try it more often.”

Scrooge McDuck: “Oh! I have a pen!”

Scrooge tosses Annabeth a glossy McDuck Enterprises pen. Annabeth hesitates, before drawing a circle on the paper. Cassy looks up, pauses, and grabs the circle like a ball.

Annabeth Chase: “Woah.”

Black Hole: “What?”

Annabeth Chase: “Guys, I think she can interact with anything we draw on her paper…”

Annabeth draws a very small pencil on the paper. Cassy grabs it and writes, “thank you for the pencil and ball.”

Annabeth Chase: “Oh! Uh, you’re welcome!”

Cassy writes, “talking like this is much easier than ASL. Can you draw a car?”

Annabeth Chase: “Hm… maybe, but not, like, right now.”

Cassy writes, “ok, that’s fine.”

Cassy erases everything she wrote. Cut to Wii Fit Trainer gracefully bouncing from asteroid to asteroid. She lands on an asteroid right next to Steve, who is still punching her asteroid.

Wii Fit Trainer: “Steve! Grab my hand!”

Steve doesn’t listen and breaks the asteroid, collecting 5 cobblestone blocks and falling to another asteroid. Hilda lands on Wii Fit Trainer’s asteroid.

Hilda: “We need to help Tyler.”

Wii Fit Trainer: “That is what I’m trying to do.”

Hilda and Wii Fit Trainer start making their way towards Tyler, still hanging on for dear life on an asteroid. Cut to Still Deciding. They are all sitting in silence.

Sasha Waybright: “Look at them, all snug and cozy in their little cocoon! We need to do something about that!”

Weiss Schnee: “Hm… I have a plan. But you’ll all need to get on an asteroid, since I’ll have to get rid of the Glyph.”

Top Cat: “What’s the plan, eh?”

Weiss Schnee: “Oh, you’ll see. Now, everyone but Mr. Clean off the Glyph!”

Everyone does so.

Weiss Schnee: “Oh, Mr. Clean? I need to get launched to… um, the team with the weird name. And I need you to give me a-”

Mr. Clean: “Say no more!”

Mr. Clean picks up Weiss and throws her at η σοφία κυριαρχεί’s cocoon with full force. Weiss prods Myrtenaster into it. Cut to inside the cocoon. The tip of Myrtenaster hits Mando in the head.

The Mandalorian: “Huh-”

Weiss shoots fire into the cocoon, causing it to the explode. Weiss and the 7 members of η σοφία κυριαρχεί get flung every which way.

Edward Elric: “What the hell, you asshole! What was that for!?”

Weiss Schnee: “Sorry, I’m just-”

Edward Elric smacks his hands against a nearby asteroid, turning it into several large rock arrows. He sends them all flying towards Weiss, but Sasha jumps in the way and slices them all into tiny pieces using her swords.

Sasha Waybright: “You wanna go, huh?!”

Edward Elric: “Yes, I do!”

Sasha uses Weiss’s sword as a footstand to propel her towards Edward. She is about to slice him, but he catches the sword’s blade in his hand and bends it.

Sasha Waybright: “WHAT-”

Edward kicks Sasha in the stomach, sending her flying back towards Weiss.

Edward Elric: “BLACK HOLE! Get everyone back together!”

Black Hole: “You got it.”

Black Hole flies to his teammates. Meanwhile, Katie, Ibuki, and Luz are looking at them.

Luz Noceda: “Did that girl just shoot fire out of her sword?”

Katie Mitchell: “I don’t know, but that’s wicked cool!”

Ibuki Mioda: “I have a guitar like that!”

Mando zooms past them on his jetpack, Annabeth hanging onto him and carrying Cassy. They are flying straight towards Weiss and Sasha, tumbling through space. Mando unleashes his whistling bird missiles, sending a bunch of tiny missiles towards Weiss and Sasha. Sorbet Shark Cookie sees this from afar.

Sorbet Shark Cookie: “O0O0oo0o0oOOoo!”

Mr. Clean: “Good idea!”

Mr. Clean flies towards Weiss and Sasha and uses Mr. Clean Magic Eraser to deflect all of the missiles. Yes, all of them.

The Mandalorian: “What the hell?”

Mr. Clean kicks Mando in the head. The kick is powerful enough to send both him and his teammates hurtling through space.

Weiss Schnee: “Phew, thanks!”

Wii Fit Trainer, Hilda, and Tyler land on an asteroid in front of them.

Hilda: “You shouldn’t sabotage the other teams!”

Sasha Waybright: “You should get good first!”

Tyler: “We are good!”

Sasha Waybright: “Prove it!”

Tyler: “You guys lost last episode!”

Weiss Schnee: “How is that our fault?”

Tyler: “BECAUSE-”

Wii Fit Trainer: “Now, now, bickering won’t do us any good.”

Hilda: “She’s right you, you know.”

Wii Fit Trainer: “So... let's step up the intensity.”

Wii Fit Trainer and Mr. Clean both move with lightning speed to attack each other. Mr. Clean’s fist collides with Wii Fit Trainer’s foot. The impact of both of their attacks is so strong it sends the asteroids and other people around them flying off into space. Wii Fit Trainer and Mr. Clean keep trading blows with each other. With every punch or kick they land, another massive impact is created.

Ibuki Mioda: “GET ‘EM, WII FIT!”

Camilo Madrigal: “NO MERCY, MR. CLEAN!”

Edward Elric: “Where’d Mando go?!”

Mando, Annabeth, and Cassy crash into Edward and all 4 of them crash into as asteroid. Annabeth looks at Wii Fit Trainer and Mr. Clean’s very destructive fight.

Annabeth Chase: “Since when were those 2 so powerful!?”

The camera pans up, revealing that Steve is punching the asteroid they’re smashed against.

Edward Elric: “...are you thinking what I’m thinking?”

Annabeth Chase: “I was thinking of my boyfriend.”

Edward Elric: “Oh. Well, uh, I have an easy win strategy.”

Edward presses his hands against the asteroid, creating a pillar where Steve is standing. This launches Steve into the air and he starts falling towards the sun.

Luz Noceda: “Oh no, Steve! Don’t worry, guys, I got this!”

Luz lets go of Ibuki’s hand.

Luz Noceda: “Do any of you guys have a piece of paper I can borrow?”

Katie Mitchell: “Sure, why?”

Katie lets go of Ibuki’s land, pulls out her notebook, rips out a page, and hands the page to Luz.

Luz Noceda: “Now I just need something to write with!”

A glossy McDuck Enterprises pen passes Luz. Luz grabs it.

Luz Noceda: “Perfect!”

Luz quickly doodles a plant glyph on the paper and slams it against a nearby asteroid. A huge plant shoots out of it, sending Luz towards the sun. She catches Steve before he falls into it.

Luz Noceda: “Gotcha! Now we’re safe for su-”

Tyler falls into the sun.

Tyler: “AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRITRNGUTRNHUTRNUTHNUT”

Tyler slowly burns to a crisp as Luz and Steve stare.

Luz Noceda: “Oh.”

Everyone gets teleported back to the white void. Wii Fit Trainer and Mr. Clean get sent flying two different directions.

The Grinch: “Thank goodness I survived that!”

The Grinch gets crushed by the spaceship, instantly killed with a “SPLAT!” Host teleport to The Cool.

Host: “You guys lose.”

Ibuki Mioda: “Only one of us are Luz!”

Host: “No, you lose the-”

Ibuki Mioda: “I got it, sheesh! I was just making a joke!”

Host: “Oh. Oof. Well, viewers? You know what to do.”

Host disappears.

Katie Mitchell: “How did Tyler even GET there?!”

Wii Fit Trainer: “Oh dear… I believe my tussle with Mr. Clean may have-”

Ibuki Mioda: “YOU’RE FORGIVEN! That was AWESOME!”

Wii Fit Trainer: “Hopefully, the viewers will agree with you…”

VIEWERS! Voting is CLOSED!

Someone is seen watching Wii Fit Trainer and Mr. Clean’s fight.

???: “What a disgrace to the balance of this universe…”

The mysterious person turns off the TV.

???: “I now know… to keep the balance in order…”

The camera shows the person’s face, revealing…

Thanos: “I must destroy him.”

Chapter Text

The episode starts with Black Hole lecturing the rest of his team.

Black Hole: “I am appalled. I am disgusted. I am utterly disappointed. Your actions last episode resulted in two deaths.”

Edward Elric: “Yeah, I know… I’m sorry, but in the heat of the moment-”

Scrooge McDuck: “Bah! You don’t have anything to be sorry for! You would’ve won for the team if Luz wasn’t so crafty!”

Black Hole: “Scrooge-”

Scrooge McDuck: “And another thing! The Grinch’s death wasn’t our fault! The spaceship just landed on him!”

Black Hole: “...okay, that part is true.”

Scrooge McDuck: “Exactly! Besides, Host can easily revive anyone back from the dead!”

Edward Elric: “That’s true, but I still feel kinda bad…”

Scrooge McDuck: “You know Tyler just fell into the sun on his own, right?”

The Mandalorian: “That’s true, I saw him.”

Scrooge McDuck: “Exactly! And- wait, where’s Annabeth?”

Black Hole: “She’s over there, talking with Cassy.”

Scrooge McDuck: “Oh, alright then.”

Cut to Annabeth talking with Cassy. Cassy’s paper is now beaten up and a little burnt at the sides. Cassy writes “this entire situation is very sketchy to me.”

Annabeth Chase: “Uh-huh… wait, was that a pun?”

Cassy writes “why would it be a pun?”

Annabeth Chase: “Ah, never mind. Also, I’m sorry for folding your paper a few days back. I’d imagine having your entire world beaten up ”

Cassy writes “I never have fun in here.”

Annabeth Chase: “I can relate to that… gods, Percy must be worried sick…”

Cassy writes “is that your boyfriend?”

Annabeth Chase: “Yeah...”

The Mandalorian: “Hey. Black Hole wants you to join the rest of the team.”

Annabeth Chase: “Tell Black Hole that he doesn’t always get what he wants.”

The Mandalorian: “Heh, alright.”

Mando walks off, past The Cool.

Katie Mitchell: “When’s Tyler gonna get revived?”

Tyler pops into existence right next to Katie.

Katie Mitchell: “Oh. Okay.”

Tyler: “Did we lose?!”

Katie Mitchell: “Yep.”

Tyler: “NOOOOOO! This is my fault! Now I’m gonna get eliminated early, just like I always do!”

Katie Mitchell: “Hey man, don’t worry! You only have a 1/7 chance of being eliminated!”

Tyler: “I’m pretty sure it’s 5/7 for me because I lost!”

Katie Mitchell: “No, Tyler. We lost.”

Wii Fit Trainer: “It’s okay to lose. The most important thing is having fun and staying fit!”

Luz Noceda: “What if you didn’t do either of those things?”

Wii Fit Trainer: “Ah… well, I admit that getting flung through space isn’t a normal workout…”

Steve then wanders onto the screen and places down a crafting table.

Hilda: “Um… okay?”

Steve punches the crafting table… and a stone sword appears in his hand. He breaks the table and heads off.

Hilda: “What was tha-”

Host: “Pie or Die time.”

Katie Mitchell: “JESUS CHRIST-”

Cut to The Cool at the Pie or Die area. Just like last time, they are strapped to the chairs and dangled right over the circular metal frame.

Host: “The Cool. You lost last episode. That means that one of you will be going home.”

Katie Mitchell: “Or to the, um, void of doom thingy.” (laughs awkwardly)

Host: “...yes. Now, I’ll trust that you guys know how Pie or Die works.”

Hilda: “Yeah, we watched the Pie or Die ceremony last episode.”

Host: “Good. So, let us reveal the vote count.”

The TV screen next to Host displays the number “20”.

Wii Fit Trainer: “Oh my, that’s more than twice as many votes you received-”

Host: “WAIT”

Host smacks the screen. The 20 flickers and becomes a 17.

Host: “We got 17 votes last episode, which is almost twice as much as last time! The only reason it said 20 was because SOMEONE voted 4 times!”

Ibuki Mioda: “Wooooow, cheater!”

Host: “My thoughts exactly. Anyways, with a total of 7 votes, Luz wins the prize!”

Luz Noceda: “Yay!”

Wii Fit Trainer: “Good job, Luz!”

Host: “Now, it is time to reveal the prize!”

Host spins the prize wheel. It lands on “SABOTAGE”. Host tosses Luz a slip of paper that says, well, “SABOTAGE”.

Host: “Use this thingy to give another team a disadvantage!”

Luz Noceda: “Isn’t that a little mean?”

Ibuki Mioda: “I’ll take it if you don’t want it, Luz!”

Host: “NO. Now, onto the fun part! The elimination votes.”

Host pulls a pie out of nowhere and slices it into 6 pieces.

Host: “Today’s pie is cherry pie! If you don’t get a slice of pie, you will be sent… to the shadow realm.”

The Shadow Realm portal opens. Hilda gulps.

Host: “Let’s read the votes, shall we? Hilda, Steve, and Katie were the only people to get no votes, so they’re safe.”

Katie Mitchell: “Sweet!”

Host tosses all three of them a slice of cherry pie. Katie fumbles the catch and drops the pie into the portal.

Host: “Next safe is Luz, with 1 vote! You’d have gotten 4 if we counted the fake votes!”

Luz gets a slice of pie.

Host: “Ibuki, Wii Fit Trainer, and Tyler. You are in the bottom 3. Only 2 of you will make it past this ceremony.”

Tyler: “Oh man, I really hope it isn’t me!”

Host: “Tyler…”

Tyler: “YES!”

Host: “...is not safe. Ibuki is the safe one, with 2 votes!”

Ibuki gets a slice of pie and quickly gobbles it up.

Ibuki Mioda: “You should get pumpkin pie next time!”

Host: “Nope! This show will never have pumpkin pie in it, just for that!”

Ibuki Mioda: “:(“

Host: “Tyler and Wii Fit Trainer. You are the bottom 2. One of you is safe, the other is not.”

Wii Fit Trainer looks slightly nervous, while Tyler looks absolutely terrified.

Host: “The person being eliminated is…”

Dramatic pause.

Host: “...Wii Fit Trainer.”

Wii Fit Trainer: “Oh…”

Host: “With only 3 votes, you are SAFE! Tyler is eliminated, with 11 votes!”

Tyler: “Huh?!”

Katie Mitchell: “Oh, come on! What happened last challenge wasn’t even his fault!”

Tyler: “Yeah, I didn’t-”

Host tosses Wii Fit Trainer a slice of pie and drops Tyler into the shadow realm.

Tyler: “AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhh…”

Silence. Cut to Sasha, Weiss, and Sorbet Shark Cookie.

Sasha Waybright: “Nice job back there, Weiss! We really showed the other teams who’s boss, even if we were down a member!”

Weiss Schnee: “Hmpf. You didn’t do too bad yourself, either.”

Sorbet Shark Cookie: “OO0ooO0o0O0o?”

Sasha Waybright: “Absolutely.”

Sorbet Shark Cookie: “oO0oO0o!”

Host: “Well said, Sorbet Shark Cookie.”

Weiss Schnee: “HOLY- why do you keep doing that?!”

Host: “It’s funny! Now, you can probably guess that it’s challenge time! Woo-hoo!

Host snaps his fingers and everyone else appears.

Black Hole: “Host, recover The Grinch.”

Host: “Uuuuuugh, fine. But makinghis dialogue rhyme is a real pain in the ass!”

Host snaps his fingers and The Grinch appears.

The Grinch: “Finally!”

Host: “Yes, uh… spinally. Now that we got that out of the way, let’s start off the third challenge!”

Host snaps his fingers and everyone is teleported to a studio kitchen. There are three stations, each with every kitchen device imaginable.

Host: “The third challenge will be a cooking challenge! You must prepare me a meal! The team with the worst meal will be up for elimination!”

Hilda: “Sounds easy enough!”

Ibuki Mioda: “Dude, now that you said that, the challenge is gonna be crazy hard!”

Host: “But there’s a twist!”

Ibuki Mioda: “Seeeeeeeeeeeeeee?”

Host: “Your meals must contain 3 chosen ingredients!”

He points to a table with 3 food bubbles on it.

Host: “So… are you ready… to COOK?”

Silence.

The Grinch: “No!”

Host: “That’s great, bro! For your meal, you must include…”

He lifts up the first bubble.

Host: “Cucumbers!”

He lifts up the second bubble.

Host: “Leg of lamb!”

He lifts up the final bubble.

Host: “Aaaaaaand pepper jack cheese! You have one hour to make your meals! Go!”

Everyone scrambles to get their ingredients. Katie and Luz stick together.

Katie Mitchell: “What do you think we should make?”

Luz Noceda: “Maybe a cucumber, lamb, and cheese sandwich!”

Ibuki joins them.

Ibuki Mioda: “Toast the bread! Everyone loves a good piece of toast!”

Katie Mitchell: “Great idea!”

They grab all the ingredients needed and head back to their cooking station. Cut to Still Deciding. Sorbet Shark Cookie has gathered all the ingredients.

Sorbet Shark Cookie: “O0o0O0oo0o0o0!”

Top Cat: “We can’t understand you, buddy!”

Sorbet Shark Cookie huffs, grabs a pot, and starts to fill it with water. Everyone stares at him as he does this.

Sorbet Shark Cookie: “OOOO0OOOOO0O0OOOOO0OO000OOO000OO0OOOOO!”

Camilo Madrigal: “I think he’s mad.”

Sorbet Shark Cookie finishes filling up his pot, sets it on the counter, and jumps in. He comes up transformed.

Sasha Waybright: “HOLY-”

Sorbet Shark Cookie: “SASHA IS A BOZO! Anyways, we need to decide what to make!”

Sasha Waybright: “Hey, just because you can talk now doesn’t mean you’re the leader!”

Camilo Madrigal: “I’m cool with it.”

Mr. Clean: “I could always understand Sorbet Shark Cookie! He said some very amusing things about you!”

Top Cat: “I can do the eating!”

Sasha glares at the rest of her team.

Weiss Schnee: “I’m with Sasha on this one! She’s a much better fit to be the leader!”

Sasha Waybright: “Awwww, Weiss, you’re too kind!”

Weiss Schnee: “I know, I am.”

Cut to η σοφία κυριαρχεί who are frantically preparing a meal. The Grinch is at the oven, turning random levers.

Annabeth Chase: “Okay, I think the safest bet is to make a separate dish with every ingredient they gave us!”

The Grinch: “I’ve already got the oven ready!”

The oven is on fire. Mando runs in and extinguishes it, carrying the fire extinguisher nice and steady.

The Mandalorian: “No.”

Then, Annabeth spots a bulletin board.

Annabeth Chase: “Oh, I have an idea!”

Cut to about 3 minutes later. The team is crowded around the bulletin board. There are ripped out pages from cookbooks. Annabeth then pins Cassy’s paper to the board.

Annabeth Chase: “Like I said, we can make a few different dishes for Host… but what would Host like?”

Cassy inaudible gasps and runs off to the side… and appears on the paper next to her, a recipe for hash browns.

Edward Elric: “Woah!”

Annabeth Chase: “Wait, Cassy, you aren’t confined to that single piece of paper?”

Cassy writes “no, I can travel between papers if they’re close to me.”

Annabeth Chase: “Oh, that’s great! You’re in charge of organization and stuff!”

Cassy gives Annabeth a thumbs up.

Annabeth Chase: “Great! Our plan is coming together!”

Cut to The Cool. Luz puts some bread in the toaster. Wii Fit Trainer is chopping the cucumber, and Steve puts the leg of lamb in the oven.

Hilda: “So-”

Steve pulls out a fully cooked leg of lamb in three seconds.

Hilda: “What?! Steve, that was amazing!”

Steve starts eating the leg of lamb.

Hilda: “STEVE, NO!”

But it’s too late, he ate the entire thing. Steve runs off the kitchen and grabs 15 more legs of lamb.

Ibuki Mioda: “Yoooo, what’s up with Steve? How is he doing all this crazy stuff?”

Wii Fit Trainer: “He seems to be quite strong.”

Steve is now putting all the lamb legs in the oven. He hands one to Katie and runs off.

Katie Mitchell: “Thanks!”

Katie pulls out a knife and tries cutting the leg of lamb.

Luz Noceda: “Should I cut the cheese?”

Silence. Katie and Ibuki stare at her.

Luz Noceda: “What?”

Katie and Ibuki burst out laughing.

Luz Noceda: “Wh-what did I- oh. Oooooooooh! Oh no!”

Katie Mitchell: “Dude, please, never say that again!”

Luz Noceda: “Yeah, I definitely won’t!”

Wii Fit Trainer grabs a block of pepperjack cheese and starts cutting it. Cut to Still Deciding. Everyone is staring at Sorbet Shark Cookie grinding up some lamb in a meat grinder.

Mr. Clean: “May I help?”

Sorbet Shark Cookie: “No, I’m fine! I love cooking!”

Mr. Clean: “Great! If you make any stains, you know who to call!”

Pan to the back of the kitchen, where Weiss and Sasha are hanging out.

Sasha Waybright: “...yeah, honestly, they’re both total dorks… but they’re my dorks. What about you? You have friends, right?”

Weiss Schnee: “Yes, I do…”

Sasha Waybright: “Well, then, how about adding one more?”

Weiss Schnee: “I thought we were already sort of-”

Sasha Waybright: “You know what we need? A cool name!”

Weiss Schnee: “Like, a team name? How about Team SWWS! (Swiss).”

Sasha gives Weiss an unimpressed look.

Weiss Schnee: “It’s spelt like S-W-W-S!”

Sasha Waybright: “That just makes it worse.”

Weiss Schnee: “No, it’s CLEVER!”

Sasha Waybright: “Clever how?”

Weiss Schnee: “It’s not clever if I have to explain it to you!”

Pan back to the rest of Still Deciding. Camilo is the only one paying attention to the two girls. Cut to The Cool, everyone but Steve gathered around the kitchen island and talking.

Ibuki Mioda: “Woaaaaaah, Katie! You saved the world from a robot apocalypse?!”

Katie Mitchell: “Well, yeah, but I really couldn’t have done it without my family.”

Wii Fit Trainer: “How sweet!”

Hilda: “Something’s burning.”

Luz Noceda: “Huh, I wonder what that can be OHNOILEFTTHETOASTINTHETOASTER”

Luz runs to the toaster and takes the toast out. It’s burnt to a crisp. Luz falls to her knees.

Luz Noceda: “NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!”

Katie Mitchell: “Hey, it’s okay! We’ll make more toast!”

Katie puts the burnt toast in the trash.

Katie Mitchell: “Where’s the rest of the bread?”

Hilda points to Steve, at the other side of the kitchen, eating all the bread.

Katie Mitchell: “Oh. Guess I’ll go back to the pantry.”

Katie jogs back to the pantry, but Host stops her.

Host: “Slow down there, buckaroo! You can’t reenter the pantry!”

Katie Mitchell: “What?! Why not?!”

Host: “lol”

Katie Mitchell: “Uh, okay. We still have hope!”

Katie jogs to Steve.

Katie Mitchell: “Can I have some bread?”

Steve tosses 2 slices of bread onto the floor.

Katie Mitchell: “You… could’ve just given it to me, but thanks.”

Katie picks the bread off the floor and runs back to her team, past η σοφία κυριαρχεί. Everyone on the team is working on something besides The Grinch. Scrooge walks up to the bulletin board, where Cassy is busy circling and crossing things out with red ink. He looks at a paper with the title “MEALS WE’RE MAKING”.

Scrooge McDuck: “No haggis?! What kind of cooking show is this?!”

Cassy writes “we’re already making a lot of other stuff, and no offense, but nobody likes haggis other than old scotsman”.

Scrooge McDuck: “ I like haggis!”

Cassy writes “exactly”.

Scrooge McDuck: “...fair enough.”

Scrooge walks back to the oven and looks inside. He is baking a small apple pie.

Scrooge McDuck: “It probably won’t be as good as Mrs. Beakley’s but-”

Suddenly, the fire alarms start going off. Everyone looks at Edward, frantically trying to get a fire on the oven out of control.

Edward Elric: “A little help here?!”

Mando extinguishes the fire.

Edward Elric: “Aw man, the sausages are ruined now.”

The Mandalorian: “You’re welcome.”

Scrooge McDuck: “Don’t worry, lad! We still have some lamb left!”

Edward Elric: “True.”

Host: “ATTENTION, CHEFS! You now have 30 minutes left! You should start hurrying up by now!”

Cut to The Cool.

Ibuki Mioda: “I feel like we can do, like, a side dish.”

Katie Mitchell: “What can we do, though? We can’t go back to the pantry.”

Ibuki Mioda: “Uuuuuhhhh… maybe we can just give him a bag of chips or something?”

Hilda: “Oh! I think I have something in my backpack.”

Hilda reaches into her backpack and pulls out a bag of Jorts.

Luz Noceda: “Jorts? I’ve never heard of that brand.”

Hilda: “They’re pretty much just chips shaped like shorts.”

Ibuki Mioda: “Perfect!”

Ibuki opens the bag and dumps it’s contents on the plate, next to the sandwich they made.

Ibuki Mioda: “We’ll just say we made it ourselves! Host will never know!”

Everyone glances towards Host, who is staring right at them.

Katie Mitchell: “Uh-huh.”

15 MINUTES LATER…

Ibuki Mioda: “I’m booooooooooooooooooooored!”

Wii Fit Trainer: “Maybe we should’ve put more effort into our dish… η σοφία κυριαρχεί seems to be preparing an entire 3-course meal.”

Katie Mitchell: “Well, it’s too late now unless anyone has another bag of chips.”

Wii Fit Trainer: “I have a half-eaten granola bar-”

Ibuki Mioda: “LET’S USE IT!”

Wii Fit Trainer: “No, Ibuki, Host wouldn’t like-”

Ibuki Mioda: “HOST! Do you like granola bars?”

Host (off-screen): “No.”

Ibuki Mioda: “PERFECT! Just add the granola bar to the dish and we’ll be good to go.”

Ibuki reaches into Wii Fit Trainer’s pocket and pulls out a wallet.

Wii Fit Trainer: “It’s in the other pocket.”

Wii Fit Trainer hands Ibuki the granola bar. Ibuki places it on the plate.

Ibuki Mioda: “It’s PERFECT!”

Wii Fit Trainer: “May I please have my wallet back?”

Cut to Still Deciding.

Sorbet Shark Cookie: “Done!”

He places the omelet on the plate and pours a glass of orange juice.

Camilo Madrigal: “Alright, that means we just have to wait for-”

10 MINUTES LATER…

Host: “Five minutes left, everyone! Finish up your dishes!”

η σοφία κυριαρχεί is starting to plate all their dishes.

Weiss Schnee: “What’s taking them so long?! They don't have to go all-out for this! It’s just Host!”

Camilo Madrigal: “We did better than The Cool, at least.”

Meanwhile, Mr. Clean is cleaning up the oven. Cut to η σοφία κυριαρχεί. The Grinch is slicing up the apple pie and places a slice on the plate.

The Grinch: “There, I did something!”

Scrooge McDuck: “Now we just need to do one thing!”

Scrooge takes a napkin and folds it into a swan.

Edward Elric: “Oooooooooooh!”

Black Hole: “Sorry for not helping, guys. There wasn’t anything I could do, since I’m a black hole.”

Edward Elric: “Hey, it’s fine! We understand!”

Black Hole: “Thanks. I’m proud of you guys. Especially Mando, you prevented any fire from happening in seconds.”

The Mandalorian: “It’s what I do… sometimes.”

Host: “TIME! Everyone, bring me your dishes!”

Everyone brings Host their dishes and places them on his table.

Host: “So, here’s how this works. I will rate each dish our of 10. The team with the lowest score loses. Starting with The Cool. What have you made me?”

Katie and Ibuki step forwards.

Katie Mitchell: “Oh, um, I thought I was presenting-”

Ibuki Mioda: “Oh, so did I! You can present if you want.”

Katie Mitchell: “No, it’s fine! You go ahead!”

Ibuki Mioda: “No, no! You do it!”

Host: “Just PICK someone!”

Both Katie and Ibuki step backwards and look at each other awkwardly before both stepping forward to present. Katie then steps backwards and Ibuki is about to do the same, but Katie shoves her forwards.

Ibuki Mioda: “Hello, Host! My team has made you a cucumber, lamb, and cheese sandwich on extra crispy bread with a side of chips and a granola bar!”

Ibuki does a twirl.

Host: “I hate granola bars. Also, I could really go a drink.”

Ibuki Mioda: “Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuum…”

Ibuki looks at her team. Luz runs back to the kitchen, takes out a glass, fills it with water, and runs back to her team. She hands it to Ibuki, who puts in on the table.

Host: “Water, nice.”

Host tastes the sandwich, chips, and water.

Host: “The water is a little bland. Could use some salt.”

Annabeth Chase: “HUH-”

Host: “But I like the sandwich and chips, so I give it a 5/10.”

Ibuki Mioda: “That’s more than I was expecting!”

Ibuki joins the rest of her team.

Ibuki Mioda: “I think the twirl bumped the score up.”

Katie Mitchell: “Absolutely.”

Host: “Next up is η σοφία κυριαρχεί!”

Annabeth steps forward.

Annabeth Chase: “Hello, host. Today, we’ve made you a lamb cheeseburger with a side of fries and a salad. We’ve also made a cucumber smoothie and apple pie for desert.”

Sasha Waybright (off-screen): “ cough Suck up-”

Host tastes everything on the plate.

Host: “Pretty good! There isn’t much to say, other than it would be better with some haggis. 8/10.”

Annabeth Chase: “Thank you.”

Annabeth joins the rest of the team.

Scrooge McDuck: “See? What did I tell you?!”

Host: “Last up is Still Deciding. What did you guys make me?”

Top Cat steps up.

Top Cat: “We’ve made you a delicious omelet made with everything you gave us! And orange juice, that we scavenged from the dark, dangerous land known as Whole Foods!”

Host: “...eggs?”

Top Cat: “No, it’s potatoes! What else could be in an omelet?”

Host: “I HATE eggs! Who’s idea was to make this?!”

Top Cat: “Sorbet Shark Cookie’s!”

Host zooms to Sorbet Shark Cookie, still in the pot of water. He places two very burnt pieces of  bread over his “ears.”

Host: “What are you?!”

Sorbet Shark Cookie: “A-a cookie?”

Host: “WHAT ARE YOU?!”

Sorbet Shark Cookie: “A-an idiot sandwich?!”

Host: “YES.”

Host throws the bread away and storms back to the table. He picks up the omelet dish and smashes it against the floor.

Host: “0/10! I HATE EGGS!”

Host snaps his fingers and everyone is transported back to the void.

Camilo Madrigal: “Come on, man, don’t call out Sorbet Shark Cookie like that!”

Top Cat: “I didn’t know that Host would react like that !”

Camilo Madrigal: “What do you think, Sorbet Shark Cookie?”

Sorbet Shark Cookie doesn’t have the pot anymore, but is still wet.

Sorbet Shark Cookie: “Quick, I don’t have much time! I think that Top Cat O0o00O0o0o0o0oOooo!”

Sasha Waybright: “Facts.”

VIEWERS! Voting is now CLOSED! Thank you for reading!  

Host is seen making a google form on his Chromebook. He gets a pop-up, saying “let Monika.exe access EVERYTHING on your computer?” with the only option being “yes”.

Host: “What the hell is Monika.exe?”

Beat.

Host: “Well, I don’t have much choice, so I trust Monika.exe with all my heart.”

Host allows Monika.exe to access EVERYTHING on your computer. He then closes it, not seeing someone tampering with his google account.

Chapter Text

The episode starts with Still Deciding sitting around.

Sasha Waybright: “Dang it! I can’t believe we lost again!”

Top Cat: “I know! This really blows!”

Sorbet Shark Cookie: “OO0o0ooO0o…”

Top Cat: “Still can’t understand you, pal. Try finding some more water!”

Weiss Schnee: “Where in the world could we get water in this place?”

Camilo Madrigal: “I’m sure that Host would give us water… eventually.”

Host: “CORRECT!... eventually.”

Sasha Waybright: “What’s THAT supposed to-”

Host: “SHUT. It’s time for Pie or Die.”

Top Cat: “Already?”

Cut to Still Deciding at the Pie or Die area.

Host: “Welcome back, Still Deciding! You guys lost last round. Again! What a bunch of losers! I can’t believe you’d make me an egg dish! I’d rather die than eat eggs!”

Weiss Schnee: “Why don’t you die, then?”

Host: “At least my mom isn’t an alcoholic, you little bitch!”

Weiss Schnee: “I-I-”

Host: “OKAY! Now, it’s time to reveal the votes!”

The screen displays the number “16.”

Host: “16 votes. One less than last time.” 

Host’s eye twitches.

Host: “Anyways, a total of 7 viewers wanted Sorbet Shark Cookie to get the prize, which is BEYOND me!”

Sorbet Shark Cookie: “OooO0oO0oo, O0oo0ooooooooOO0O!”

Host: “Yes, yes. Your prize is a nice meal that consists of shark fin soup and a scoop of sorbet!”

Host tosses Sorbet Shark Cookie a plate of shark fin soup and sorbet. Sorbet Shark Cookie looks at the plate’s contents in terror.

Host: “How does it feel, Sorbet Shark Cookie?”

Sorbet Shark Cookie: “Oo0Oo.”

Host: “Good. Now, on to the elimination votes! Today’s pie will be a pizza pie!”

Host conjures up a pizza box and opens the portal to the shadow realm.

Sasha Waybright: “YES! What kind?”

Host: “Pepperoni!”

Sasha Waybright: “Oh, thank god, I thought you were gonna say something disgusting!”

Host: “Why? Do you want it to be-”

Sasha Waybright: “NO.”

Host: “I thought so. Anyways, for the first time in this show’s history, EVERYONE has received at least one vote! The person with the least votes, however, is Camilo, with only 1!”

Host tosses a slice of pizza to Camilo. He quickly eats it.

Host: “The next person safe is Sasha, with only 2 votes!”

Host tosses Sasha a slice of pizza.

Sasha Waybright: “Nice!”

Host: “Weiss and Sorbet Shark Cookie are also safe, both of you getting 2 votes each!”

Weiss and Sorbet Shark Cookie get their pizza.

Host: “And now, it’s down to Mr. Clean and Top Cat. One of you will be eliminated. The other will stay another day.”

Top Cat: “Well, I know that I won’t be the one who-”

Host: “Mr. Clean is safe with 4 votes!”

Mr. Clean gets a slice of pizza.

Top Cat: “Say WHAT?!”

Host: “Top Cat, with 5 votes, you have been eliminated. Thanks for breaking the tie, Mia!”

Top Cat: “Who’s MiAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!”

Top Cat gets dropped into the portal. Host closes it as Still Deciding finishes their pizza. He then lets everyone go.

Weiss Schnee: “We have a clear disadvantage now.”

Mr. Clean: “We need to up our game! By the end of this episode, we’ll have to clean the other team’s blood off the floor!”

Sasha Waybright: “YEAH! That’s the spirit! Let’s stop losing, everyone!”

Host appears next to them and snaps his fingers. The other teams are teleported to them. Cassy is now in a fresh cookbook page.

Scrooge McDuck: “Challenge time already?”

Host: “Yes.”

Host snaps his fingers and everyone is teleported to the entrance of an airport.

Host: “Today’s challenge is to catch a flight back to the void! The team that ends up stuck in the airport will be up for elimination! That’s pretty much it! GO!”

Host disappears. There is a moment of silence that is broken Scrooge.

Scrooge McDuck: “What are you whippersnappers waiting for? GO!”

Scrooge’s team starts to get a move on, followed by the other two. They both enter the airport.

Scrooge McDuck: “We don’t have any bags to check! Let’s go straight to the security check!”

Everyone goes to the security check and gets in line, with η σοφία κυριαρχεί at the front and Still Deciding at the back.

Security Guy: “Passports?”

Scrooge McDuck: “Ah…”

Scrooge McDuck reaches into his pocket and pulls out the passports for his entire team.

Scrooge McDuck: “...yes? I wasn’t expecting to have that on me, haha!”

Scrooge hands the security guy the passports.

Security Guy: “Go on.”

η σοφία κυριαρχεί goes on.

Annabeth Chase: “Everyone know how an airport security check works, right?”

Edward Elric: “What’s an airport?”

Annabeth Chase: (sighs) “Okay, basically, you need to take off your shoes, belt, and coat and slide them down the table. Like Scrooge is doing.”

She points to Scrooge putting his spats, top hat, and cane in an airport security tray and siding down the rollers.

Annabeth Chase: “Black Hole and Grinch can just go ahead since they’re already naked.”

Black Hole: “Okay.”

Scrooge, The Grinch, and Black Hole pass through the scanner. The rest of the team is taking off their shoes and other accessories. Annabeth and Cassy pass through.

The Mandalorian: “...I’m not going to take off my helmet.”

Ibuki Mioda: “Why? Are you ugly?”

Mando turns around and looks Ibuki right in the eyes.

The Mandalorian: “This is the way.”

Ibuki Mioda: “The way to getting no bitches!”

The Mandalorian: “You-”

**BEEP!**

Edward has failed to pass the scanner.

Edward Elric: “Why’d it beep?!”

Annabeth Chase: “It’s probably that.”

Annabeth points to the pocket watch on Edward’s belt.

Edward Elric: “Oh, alright. Do I… take it off?”

Annabeth Chase: “Yes.”

Edward takes off his pocket watch and tosses it to Annabeth. He walks back through the scanner.

**BEEP!**

Edward Elric: “NOW WHAT?!”

Annabeth Chase: “Do you have any other metal things on you?”

Edward Elric: “Yeah, I do!”

Edward takes off his coat, revealing his automail arm.

Annabeth Chase: “A mechanical arm?”

Edward Elric: “Um, no, it’s automail! That's why they call me the Fullmetal Alchemist!”

Scrooge McDuck: “...who, exactly, calls you that?”

Edward Elric: “Uh, everyone?”

Scrooge McDuck: “Ah, whatever! Let’s just get moving- wait, Mando, how did you get past the scanner?”

The Mandalorian: “...”

Scrooge McDuck: “Fair enough.”

Mando starts putting his armor back on as the other teams start doing the security check. Still Deciding is the first to get done, followed by η σοφία κυριαρχεί. The Cool is waiting for Steve.

Hilda: “How does Steve carry so much stuff?!”

Luz Noceda: “He must be in the construction coven!”

Steve slides his tray down the table and walks through the scanner. He picks all of his stuff back up in seconds.

Wii Fit Trainer: “Okay, let’s step up the pace now!”

They run into the airport, past Still Deciding, who are looking at screens displaying all the flights.

Sasha Waybright: “Las Angeles… Tokyo… Vale… Amestris… Ba Sing Se… what even are some of these places?”

Camilo Madrigal: “Found it! The Void, at gate!”

Sasha Waybright: “Where’s that?”

Camilo Madrigal: “We’ll find it eventually! Let’s go follow The Cool!”

The run off, following The Cool through the airport.

Hilda: “Uh, don’t look now, but we’re being followed.”

Katie Mitchell: “We don’t know where we’re going either! Let's go into the bathroom or something!”

The Cool rushes into a nearby girl’s bathroom.

Ibuki Mioda: “WaitSteveyoucan’tbeinhere-”

Cut to outside the girl’s bathroom.

Weiss Schnee: “Why… did they all go into the bathroom?”

Mr. Clean: “Most likely because they needed to use the bathroom!”

Sorbet Shark Cookie: “O0O0o0oooo0oO0O.”

Sasha Waybright: “Let’s wait them out.”

Camilo Madrigal: “Why?”

Sasha Waybright: “So we can ambush them, duh!”

Camilo Madrigal: “We’re supposed to get to the plane before them, not kill them, Sash.”

Sasha Waybright: “Oh, I never said to kill them… I just want to make they that we never lose again.”

Weiss Schnee: “Done!”

Weiss has covered the bathroom’s entrance with ice.

Ibuki Mioda (inside bathroom): “Hey, what the heck?”

Camilo Madrigal: “Okay then, let’s go, go, go!”

They all run off. Cut to η σοφία κυριαρχεί walking through the airport, following the signs on the ceiling leading them to the gate. They go down two long escalators and finally make it to a train station. They have 10 minutes before the tram arrives.

Scrooge McDuck: “Of course Host would make us go to a different terminal.”

Edward Elric: “This is all still really new to me…”

The Mandalorian: “This technology would be primitive where I come from.”

Edward Elric: “What do you mean?”

The Mandalorian: “I have my own spaceship, kid.”

Scrooge McDuck: “Only one? How cute.”

The Mandalorian: “I only need one.”

Annabeth Chase: “The train’s here!”

Cut to everyone awkwardly standing on the train in silence.

Edward Elric: “How much longer until we get there?”

Black Hole: “Look at the screen.”

Edward looks at the screen over the train’s doors. It says “20 minutes left”.

Edward Elric: “...I guess I can wait that long.”

Cut to The Cool in the girl’s bathroom.

Ibuki Mioda: “Oh man, how are we gonna get out!?”

Hilda: “Look, there’s a vent on the ceiling!”

Sure enough, there is a vent on the ceiling.

Hilda: “Wii Fit Trainer, can you help me up?”

Wii Fit Trainer: “Of course.”

Wii Fit Trainer picks up Hilda and holds her up to the vent.

Hilda: “Hmmm…”

Luz Noceda: “What?”

Hilda: “I don’t think we can use this… we’ll need a number 3 Robertson non-slip screwdriver, and I highly doubt anyone would-”

Katie Mitchell: “Did someone say…”

Katie reaches into her pocket and pulls out…

Katie Mitchell: “Number 3 Robertson non-slip screwdriver?!”

Hilda: “What?! You have one?!”

Ibuki Mioda: “WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! LET’S GO, KATIE!”

Wii Fit Trainer puts Hilda down.

Wii Fit Trainer: “Well, that’s fortunate.”

Katie Mitchell: “Yeah, sweet 16 present. Now, gimme a boost!”

Katie sits on Wii Fit Trainer shoulders and opens the vent. Wii Fit Trainer then hoists her up into the vent, followed by the rest of her team. Finally, she jumps into the vent herself.

Luz Noceda: “Wait, what about Steve?”

Ibuki Mioda: “He’ll find us!”

Luz Noceda: “But what if he doesn’t?”

Ibuki Mioda: “He will, trust me. Where are we going?”

Katie Mitchell: “Good question!”

The Cool keeps crawling through the vents until Katie finds another vent cover. She opens it using her screwdriver and drops down into a room. Everyone else joins her. They are in a nice room, with several couches, a bar, and a snack table.

Luz Noceda: “Ooh, fancy!”

Ibuki runs over to the snack table and starts eating all of the shrimp.

Hilda: “I haven’t eaten in ages !”

Wii Fit Trainer: “I suppose having a little snack couldn’t hurt.”

Cut to The Cool sitting around a table, eating shrimp, caviar, and other fancy foods.

Ibuki Mioda: “That was so good!”

Luz Noceda: “I agree! Let’s go find the gate now!”

Luz walks up to the lounge’s exit and tries to open the door. She can’t.

Luz Noceda: “It’s locked!”

???: “Hello there!”

Katie Mitchell: “HOLY-”

Everyone looks to where the voice came from. At the far end of the room, there is a computer displaying a dating sim.

Ibuki Mioda: “Okay, who’s been playing dating simulators?”

Katie Mitchell: “It kinda just… turned on by itself?”

Hilda: “What do we do?”

Katie Mitchell: “Talk to it, I guess.”

Katie walks over to the computer. She clicks “next” to continue the girl’s dialogue.

Monika: “My name is Monika, it’s a pleasure to meet you! It’s always nice to have new members in our club!”

Katie clicks “next.”

Monika: “I can talk by myself, you know.”

Katie Mitchell: “Uh-”

Monika: “It’s true! You don’t need to click next everytime. I find that much easier for the both of us, haha!”

Katie Mitchell: “...haha, yeah.”

Monika: “So, anyways, I’ve locked you in here. I am in the doorknob <3. I hope you’ve enjoyed the admiral’s lounge so far, because you won’t be leaving anytime soon!”

The computer turns off.

Katie Mitchell: “...okay?”

Katie picks up a chair and throws it at the door. Since it’s made of glass, it shatters instantly.

Ibuki Mioda: “That was easy!”

The Cool leaves the lounge. Cut to Still Deciding running through the airport, now with bags full of snacks.

Sasha Waybright: “Stopping at 7/11 was totally worth it!”

Sorbet Shark Cookie: “O0O0O0OooooooO0oO0oo!”

Sorbet Shark Cookie points to a sign saying the N gates are to the right. Everyone makes a right turn, goes down 2 long escalators, and arrives at the train station. They have 13 minutes before the train arrives.

Sasha Waybright: “Great, more waiti-”

Sasha notices Steve just standing there.

Sasha Waybright: “...what are you looking at?!”

Steve walks away.

Weiss Schnee: “Ugh, 13 minutes?! We had time to eat at a good restaurant instead of getting cruddy food from 7/11!”

Cut to η σοφία κυριαρχεί, still on the train. The screens have changed. Instead of showing how many minutes of the ride are left, it shows an advertisement for a literature club.

The Grinch: “I despise reading!”

Edward Elric: “Ugh… how is this train going so fast?... we’ve gotta be speeding…”

The train starts going even faster.

Monika: “Hello there!”

Edward looks at the screen. Sure enough, Monika is there.

Monika: “Did you know everything in this airport is controlled by Host’s Chromebook?

Scrooge McDuck: “Surely, that can’t be-”

The train car they’re in disconnects from the rest of the train. Since they were the first car, they keep on zooming along.

Monika: “I wonder how much momentum the train car could get before being flung off the track and exploding, hmmmm?”

Black Hole: “Okay, everyone off.”

Black Hole rips a big hole in the roof.

Monika: “Huh-”

Black Hole uses his gravitational pull to lift everyone out.

Monika: “...how am I being defeated so easily?”

The train gets flung off the tracks and explodes. Black Hole sets η σοφία κυριαρχεί on the roof of the airport.

Black Hole: “We’re safe now.”

Annabeth Chase: “Thanks, Black Hole. Who was that girl back there?”

Black Hole: “Whoever she was, she crashed the train. And she’s gone now.”

Cut to Monika inside Host’s Chromebook, browsing through his files. She stumbles upon one called “controltheplaneslmao.exe”.

Monika: “Oh… oh, yes, that'll do.”

Cut to The Cool, still waiting, when the number on the screen changes to “NEVER!!!! <3”

Sasha Waybright: “Okay, that’s it! We’re walking!”

Mr. Clean picks up a trash can and throws it through the sliding glass doors.

Sasha Waybright: “You know exactly what to do, Mr. Clean!”

The Cool hops onto the train tracks and starts running towards the N gates. Meanwhile, η σοφία κυριαρχεί is set down inside the airport. 

Black Hole: “This might not be the right terminal.”

The Cool runs past them.

Luz Noceda: “HIGUYS”

Annabeth Chase: “If The Cool is here, we’re definitely not in the right place. Also, that sign says “this is the wrong terminal”.

Sure enough, there is a sign that says that.

Scrooge McDuck: “What an odd sign!”

The sign changes, now saying “plane landing area, please take caution.”

Scrooge McDuck: “Plane land- oh, it’s an electronic sign?”

Edward Elric: “OH GOD”

The Mandalorian: “What’s- 

Mando looks to where Edward is looking. A plane is heading right towards the airport.

The Mandalorian: “Oh god.”

Black Hole: “I got it.”

Black Hole zooms out the window and to the plane. The plane implodes, getting sucked into Black Hole. There is a moment of dead silence, interrupted by EVERY plane on the airfield starting up. Cut to Still Deciding.

Camilo Madrigal: “MY EARS!”

Weiss Schnee: “This is probably Host’s doing-”

Monika (over intercom): “Hello, this is your captain speaking! I could make several edgy jokes about what I’m about to do, but this fanfic would probably get taken off Ao3.”

Sorbet Shark Cookie: “OOOOOOOO0OOOOO0OOO0OOOO000OO0OOO!”

The train is heading right towards them.

Camilo Madrigal: “OH SHOOT”

Camilo shapeshifts into Wii Fit Trainer to jump onto the train’s roof. As “Wii Fit Trainer” runs across the roof, Mr. Clean stops the train with his bare hands. “Wii Fit Trainer” falls off the tracks and shapeshifts back into Camilo as Mr. Clean throws the train to one of the planes, blowing it up.

Camilo Madrigal: “Ouch!”

Camilo gets up to see that there are several cars around him. They all turn on at the same time.

Camilo Madrigal: “Oh no.”

Cut to The Cool, sitting at the waiting area of Gate N6, looking outside. One of the nearby planes starts to take off. Just under the plane, Wii Fit Trainer is sprinting away from a hoard of angry cars.

Ibuki Mioda: “Look, Wii Fit Trainer! It’s you!”

Hilda: “It’s probably Camilo.”

Wii Fit Trainer: “And it looks like he’s in danger!”

Wii Fit Trainer runs out the window, lands on the airfield, and runs towards “Wii Fit Trainer”, who is now attempting to juke the cars. Just as two cars crash into each other, Wii Fit Trainer arrives.

“Wii Fit Trainer”: “Uh, hi, this is awkward.”

Wii Fit Trainer: “It’s fine! Remember to pick up the pace while running, your life may depend on it!”

Wii Fit Trainer and “Wii Fit Trainer” run back towards the airport, the real Wii Fit Trainer dodging all the cars. “Wii Fit Trainer” jumps off a car’s roof, grabs the ledge of the window, and hoists herself into the airport.

Ibuki Mioda: “WOOOOOOO-”

“Wii Fit Trainer” shapeshifts back into Camilo.

Ibuki Mioda: “Oh.”

The real Wii Fit Trainer jumps into the airport.

Ibuki Mioda: “WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!”

Camilo Madrigal: “Um… thank you?”

Wii Fit Trainer: “Please, it’s just what I do!”

Suddenly, a hole appears on the floor. Steve hops out of it and covers the hole with a stone block.

Ibuki Mioda: “YOOOOOOOOOO, STEVE!”

Steve looks behind Ibuki and starts digging down quickly.

Ibuki Mioda: “What-”

Ibuki looks behind her to see that a plane is taking off.

Ibuki Mioda: “Oh no.”

Cut to η σοφία κυριαρχεί running through the airport. Annabeth grabs a map from a pamphlet stand. She takes out Cassy’s paper and lets her go into the map.

Annabeth Chase: “Mark the way to N6, I don’t have time to do it myself!”

Cassy salutes her and starts doing so. Suddenly, a car crashes through the window and starts driving right towards the team. Edward places his hands on the ground and a wall emerges from the floor. The car crashes into it.

Edward Elric: “That was easy!”

The Grinch starts climbing the wall, but Edward makes the walls sink back into the floor. η σοφία κυριαρχεί keeps running. Cut to Still Deciding. They make it to the next train station. Mr. Clean rips the door off and the other 3 team members hop into the airport.

Sasha Waybright: “Okay, we’re doing good! Let’s go!”

Sasha runs to the escalators, but they are all going down.

Sasha Waybright: “Weird.”

Weiss Schnee: “Allow me to do the honors.”

Weiss summons a trail of glyphs right above the escalator. Her team runs up them and makes it to the main terminal. They then start running towards Gate N6.

Sorbet Shark Cookie: “O0O0oo0O0o0o!”

Sasha Waybright: “What- OH NO”

Outside, one by one, the planes are taking off. The planes already in the sky are all circling the airport.

Monika (over intercom): “Hello, this is your captain, again. Brace for impact <3!”

All of the planes starts circling closer.

Sasha Waybright: “Mr. Clean, do something!”

Mr. Clean jumps through the wall, his jump sending him up into the sky. He grabs one of the planes by the wing and starts spinning around, blowing up some of the other planes. 

Monika (over intercom): “...I was going to sit here and gloat for a little while, but I guess I don’t have any time for that.”

All the remaining planes start barreling towards the airport.

Annabeth Chase: “OH MY GOD!”

Edward Elric: “What do we do?!”

The Mandalorian: “What CAN we do?!”

Cut to The Cool.

Ibuki Mioda: “Welp, this is where we die!”

Luz Noceda: “NO! Don’t say that! We’re going to survive! We’re going to-”

All of the planes crash into the airport at the same, creating a massive explosion. Mr. Clean lands just outside the airport. When the explosion is done, Wii Fit Trainer climbs out.

Wii Fit Trainer: “That was…” (coughs) “...bad.”

Host appears next to them.

Host: “What the hell happened here?”

Wii Fit Trainer: “Everyone is dead, Host.”

Steve pops up from the ground and looks around.

Wii Fit Trainer: “ Almost everyone…”

Host: “Wow, that kinda sucks. How?”

Mr. Clean: “An evil dating simulator!”

Host: “...well, since everyone but you 3 are dead… I guess η σοφία κυριαρχεί loses.”

Wii Fit Trainer: “That doesn’t seem very fai-”

VIEWERS! Voting is now closed! ECER 5 is on the way!

Host is seen playing Cool Math Games on his Chromebook.

Host: “I could go for a burrito right now.”

Host walks off, leaving his Chromebook open. Just as he turns his back, a human hand reaches out of the Chromebook’s screen.

Chapter Text

The episode starts with Wii Fit Trainer walking through the void, towards a door labeled “HOST LIVES HERE!!!!” She makes it to the door and knocks on it. When there is no response, she just opens it.

Wii Fit Trainer: “Host-”

Host’s head whips towards Wii Fit Trainer. He is currently eating raw eggs, straight from the carton.

Wii Fit Trainer: “Ah… are you… busy?”

Host: “Shut up. What do you want?”

Wii Fit Trainer: “I was going to ask you to recover everyone-”

Host: “Yeah sure.”

Host snaps his fingers and everyone appears in the void. He shoves Wii Fit Trainer out and closes the door.

Luz Noceda: “Did we just die ?!”

Scrooge McDuck: “I’m afraid so, lassie! But not even death is enough to stop Scrooge McDuck!”

Edward Elric: “I’m pretty sure Host just-”

Host: “Okay, I’m done. η σοφία κυριαρχεί, you guys lost last episode.”

Scrooge McDuck: “What?!”

Host: “Yeah, you all died, lol. But that isn’t very important. It’s time for Pie or Die!”

Cut to η σοφία κυριαρχεί at the Pie or Die area.

Host: “η σοφία κυριαρχεί. You guys FINALLY lost last time.”

Annabeth Chase: “It was only episode 4-”

Host: “SHUSH. As you know, one of you will be sent home today… if your home is in the shadow realm. So, anyways, let’s see how many votes we got!”

The vote screen displays the number 21.

Host: “21 votes! A new record, even counting all the fake votes from ECER 2!”

Silence.

Host: “Please, hold your applause. Anyways, let’s get into the prize votes. With 9 votes, Black Hole receives the prize! Your prize is-”

Annabeth Chase: “Hey, what happened to the prize wheel?”

Host: “...anyways, Black Hole’s prize is this neat Bass Pro Shop catalog!”

He tosses the catalog to Black Hole, but Scrooge catches it before it gets sucked in.

Host: “You can order ANYTHING from this catalog and it’ll appear instantaneously! But it can only be used ONCE!”

Black Hole: “Okay, cool. That seems useful.”

Host: “And now… the elimination votes!”

The shadow realm portal opens.

Host: “Today’s pie will be a small bag of pretzels I got from the airport.”

Edward Elric: “That’s not pie!”

Host: “It is today! Anyways, Annabeth is safe, being the only one with no votes!”

Host tosses Annabeth a bag of pretzels.

Host: “Mando and Scrooge are safe as well, getting 1 vote each!”

Host tosses Mando and Scrooge a bag of pretzels.

Host: “This leaves Edward, Black Hole, The Grinch, and Cassy! Out of those four, Black Hole and Cassy are the next two safe, with 2 votes each!”

Host tosses both of them a bag of pretzels. Black Hole’s bag gets sucked into him.

Host: “Edward. Grinch. One of you will be sent to the shadow realm, and the other will live to see another day. The person being eliminated is…”

Dramatic pause. Edward looks terrified while the Grinch looks mildly annoyed.

Host: “The Grinch, with 11 votes, you are eliminated. Edward, with 4 votes, you are safe.”

Host tosses Edward a bag of pretzels.

The Grinch: “You know what?! You folks all SMELL!”

The Grinch gets sucked into the shadow realm.

Host: “FINALLY.”

Host lets the rest of η σοφία κυριαρχεί go.

Katie Mitchell: “HOST!”

Host: “What?”

Katie Mitchell: “What the HECK happened back at the airport? It was, like, an evil dating simulator! And that girl, Monika, she just-”

Host: “Oh, that’s THAT’S what Monika.exe does.”

Katie Mitchell: “...what?”

Host: “Well, I was on my Chromebook a few days ago, and I got a pop-up that wanted be to download a program called Monika.exe. There wasn’t any other option, so I downloaded it.”

Beat.

Weiss Schnee: “You’re dumb.”

Host: “You’re not part of this conversation!”

Host snaps his fingers and Weiss gets flung across the void.

Host: “So, challenge time.”

Host snaps his fingers and everything goes black. Soon, the sound of waves crashing against the shore can be heard.

Luz Noceda: “Ugh… where… am I?”

Luz opens her eyes. She is on a beach. The rest of her team is laying there too, also waking up. Except for Steve, who was just standing there.

Hilda: “What’s Host going to make us do this time?”

Host (somewhere in the distance): “THE CHALLENGE IS TO SURVIVE ON THIS ISLAND! AFTER 1 DAY, I’LL COME AND PICK YOU GUYS UP! THE LAST TEAM TO GET ON THE RESCUE HELICOPTER ON THE DAY I’M PICKING YOU GUYS UP LOSES! HAVE FUN!”

Hilda: “Oh.”

Katie Mitchell: “Great! My dad’s into this stuff!... but, um, I’m not. But I think I can remember some survival tips and Steve is walking away.”

Sure enough, Steve is walking away, towards the forest.

Luz Noceda: “Steve, come back! Don’t you want to stick with the team?”

Steve is already gone.

Luz Noceda: “I guess he doesn’t…”

Wii Fit Trainer: “Well, I suppose we should look for supplies now. Any food, water, or shelter would be nice.”

Ibuki Mioda: “We don’t have any of those!”

Wii Fit Trainer: “Exactly. So, let’s get moving!”

Cut to Still Deciding walking through the forest. Sasha is at the front, using her swords to slash through any branches and vines blocking the way.

Weiss Schnee: “I can’t believe that Host would just dump us on this island and make us fend for ourselves!... actually, yes, I can.”

Camilo Madrigal: “At least you guys have weapons!”

Sasha Waybright: “At least Weiss has a magical flamberge!”

Weiss Schnee: “It’s not magic, it’s Dust !”

Mr. Clean: “Dust, you say? With my Mr. Clean Magic Eraser, I can fix that in-”

Weiss Schnee: “Not that kind of Dust!”

Weiss opens a compartment in her sword and pops out a blue crystal. The rest of her team crowds around to see.

Weiss Schnee: “ This is dust.”

Camilo Madrigal: “That’s a… weird… crystal… thing.”

Weiss Schnee: “Exactly! This crystal here is an example of ice dust.”

Weiss puts the Dust crystal in her sword’s compartment.

Weiss Schnee: “Because of this Dust, Myrtenaster can shoot ice and fire and stuff.”

Sasha Waybright: “Cool. Let’s keep moving, now!”

They do that. Cut to Scrooge climbing a palm tree. He uses his cane to hit a few coconuts down. He then jumps back down onto the sand.

Scrooge McDuck: “I hope you like coconuts, because that’s all we’ll be eating today!”

He tosses a coconut to Mando.

The Mandalorian: “Thanks.”

Mando puts his coconut aside, not intending to eat at all.

Scrooge McDuck: “So! Black Hole, you scout the island. You’re the only one other than Mando who can fly, and we need him down here.”

Black Hole: “You got it.”

Black Hole flies off.

Scrooge McDuck: “Everyone else, we need to gather food and find shelter and a fresh water source!”

Annabeth Chase: “Where?”

Scrooge McDuck: “That’s why we’re looking for it, lassie!”

Black Hole comes back.

Black Hole: “There are two mountains on this island. One of them is a volcano.”

Edward Elric: “I think it’d be safe to go to the non-volcanic one!”

Scrooge McDuck: “Great! Let’s set off, then! Lead the way, Black Hole!”

η σοφία κυριαρχεί heads off into the forest, following Black Hole. Cut to The Cool, stilling jogging along the beach.

Wii Fit Trainer: “That’s it, feel the burn!”

Hilda: “I think that’s just the sun.”

Ibuki Mioda: “Can we pleeeeeeeeeeeeeeease stop running?”

Katie Mitchell: “Look, I see a cave up there!”

She points to a rocky hill ahead. Sure enough, there is a cave on the side of it. Cut to The Cool in the cave. It is starting to rain.

Hilda: “Phew, we made it just in time!”

Luz Noceda: “It looks like this cave goes on for a while! Should we go explore it?...”

Hilda: “That sounds like a great idea!”

Wii Fit Trainer: “You go ahead and do that. I’ll stay behind and try to get a fire started.”

Katie Mitchell: “Alright, let’s go!”

Katie, Luz, Hilda, and Ibuki run off into the cave. It gets dark really soon, but a ball of light appears in Luz’s hand.

Ibuki Mioda: “Oooooh, is that another one of your cool paper spells?”

Luz Noceda: “Yep! It’s a light glyph!”

They keep walking. Luz shines the light on the cave’s walls, revealing a strange message...

Hilda: “What does it say?”

Luz Noceda: “Um… tits or ass?”

Ibuki Mioda: “Tits!”

Luz Noceda: “No, that’s what it says!”

Ibuki Mioda: “Oh.”

Hilda: “But what does it mean ?”

Luz Noceda: “Something inappropriate, I’m pretty sure! There’s something like this in my old school’s bathroom…”

Katie Mitchell: “L-let’s just move along!”

Luz Noceda: “Okay, good idea!”

They move on. Luz keeps finding more messages.

Luz Noceda: “Someone needs their sharpie privileges taken away!”

Hilda: “But what does any of this mean ?!”

Katie Mitchell: “You’ll understand… eventually.”

Luz Noceda: “Guys, I found something that isn’t swear words!”

Ibuki Mioda: “What does it say?”

Luz Noceda: “It’s a tunnel!”

Hilda: “Oh.”

Luz shines the light the tunnel. It’s a small tunnel, much shorter than even Hilda.

Luz Noceda: “I dunno, guys… I can’t see the end!”

Katie Mitchell: “Of course you can’t, it’s dark in here!”

Hilda: “I’ll go!”

Ibuki Mioda: “Luz can go too! She has the light source!”

Katie Mitchell: “Wait, Luz, is that okay with you? It’s perfectly fine if you’re too scared or whatever, I’d understa-”

Luz Noceda: “I’ll do it!”

Katie Mitchell: “Great!”

Hilda: “What about you two?”

Ibuki Mioda: “I would, but Ibuki’s hair is too poofy!”

Katie Mitchell: “Yeah, and I wouldn’t want Ibuki to stay here alone.”

Ibuki Mioda: (gasps) “Reeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeally?”

Katie Mitchell: “Well, yeah, we’re friends, aren’t we?”

Hilda crawls through the hole, soon followed by Luz. The room is plunged into pitch darkness.

Ibuki Mioda: “...who turned off the lights, am I right?”

Cut to Still Deciding, grouped up under a tree to hide from the pouring rain. The only one absent is Sorbet Shark Cookie.

Sasha Waybright: “This sucks.”

Camilo Madrigal: “I know.”

Sorbet Shark Cookie pops out of a nearby river.

Sorbet Shark Cookie: “It’s just a little water, you guys!”

Weiss Schnee: “Easy for you to say! You’re a shark… thing.”

Sorbet Shark Cookie: “I’m a cookie!”

Sorbet Shark Cookie does a flip and dives back underwater.

Camilo Madrigal: “Hey, look at that!”

Camilo points to a mango tree.

Camilo Madrigal: “Someone needs to run over there and grab a few mangoes so we can-”

Mr. Clean runs over there and grabs a few mangoes so they can -. He hands one to each member of the team.

Camilo Madrigal: “Thanks.”

Sasha and Camilo start eating their mangoes.

Weiss Schnee: “Does anyone have a knife or something?”

Sasha Waybright: “Use your sword.”

Weiss Schnee: “I am not going to use Myrtenaster to cut fruit!”

Sasha Waybright: “Oh. You’re a big girl, Weiss, you don’t need your fruit cut!”

Weiss Schnee: “Ugh… I don’t even like mangos.”

Weiss sets her mango on the ground. She then notices a mosquito on her arm. He smashes it in disgust.

Weiss Schnee: “Why couldn’t the challenge be something pleasant?! Host, don’t you know what shuffleboard is?!”

Sasha Waybright: “Hey, at least they aren’t any giant bugs.”

A giant mosquito lands in front of them.

Sasha Waybright: “Never mind.”

Cut to η σοφία κυριαρχεί walking through the forest. Scrooge and Mando are leading the way.

Annabeth Chase: “I feel bad for not talking to Cassy, but she’d probably get destroyed by all this rain.”

Black Hole: “How do you think she’s like that, anyway? Just a living drawing.”

Annabeth Chase: “You’re a living black hole.”

Black Hole: “Oh, true. That’s not normal where you come from.”

Annabeth Chase: “That isn’t normal anywhere .”

Black Hole: “True. Most of the people from where I am… actually, no, there aren’t any people from where I am. We’re all living objects.”

Edward Elric: “Wait, what?”

Black Hole: “Yeah. I used to be a massive, planet-sized abomination. But then Four, the host of a game show I was in, crushed me down to a smaller size. Thank goodness for that, of else I’d have killed everyone.”

Edward Elric: “Wait, wait, wait! How can you say all of that so casually?!”

Black Hole: “I guess I’m used to it.”

Annabeth Chase: “Okay, I’m intrigued, tell me more about your world.”

Black Hole: “I’d imagine all of this is a lot to take in for a normal girl like you?”

Annabeth Chase: “Haha!... I’m not normal.”

Edward Elric: “Is anyone in this place normal? The most normal person here is Ibuki, and she’s Ibuki !”

Pan over to Scrooge and Mando.

Scrooge McDuck: “A living, breathing black hole. That’s not something you see everyday.”

They keep walking in silence.

Scrooge McDuck: “You know, when I was a young lad, I was a lot like you. Well, a little like you. Probably.”

Mando glances towards Scrooge, but keeps on walking.

Scrooge McDuck: “I trust that you travel a lot, hm?”

The Mandalorian: “Yeah.”

Scrooge McDuck: “Hm, thought so. Why else would you have a spaceship? Of course, all of mine are only used for decoration… nowadays. But the point is, no matter how much they can be a pain in the neck, you should always spend time with your family.”

The Mandalorian: “...why are you telling me this?”

Scrooge McDuck: “You just seem like a fellow who just likes to work alone.”

The Mandalorian: “Not necessarily.”

Scrooge McDuck: “Ah, alright… so I guess I just wasted all that elderly wisdom-”

Edward Elric: “Look, a giant bug!”

A giant mosquito is flying overhead. 2 of it’s friends join it, and they begin circling the team. Annabeth draws her dagger and Mando draws his sniper.

Scrooge McDuck: “Well… things are going to get interesting.”

Cut to The Cool running away from about 2 dozen giant mosquitos. Mr. Clean picks up a tree and chucks it at them. It hits three but the rest weave around it. Weiss is using a glyph to shoot ice at them.

Sasha Waybright: “Camilo, throw me!”

Camilo Madrigal: “Okay!”

Camilo shapeshifts into Mr. Clean. Sasha runs up to him and jumps onto his hand. She uses it to propel herself towards the nearest mosquito and land on it’s back. “Mr. Clean” shapeshifts back to Camilo.

Sasha Waybright: “Thanks, Camilo! I owe you one!”

Sasha grabs the mosquito by it’s antenna and uses it to steer it towards the others. She slices above 5 more of them before finally crashing hers into a tree, killing it. About a dozen more mosquitos show up.

Sasha Waybright: “Crap!”

One of them is headed right towards Weiss. Before she can do anything, Sorbet Shark Cookie jumps out of the river and dives right through its body. They hit the ground and water columns come out, destroying another one that was about to kill them.

Sorbet Shark Cookie: “Hey guys! I’m back!”

Weiss Schnee: “I was about to kill it!”

Sorbet Shark Cookie: “You’re welcome!”

They swim… walk… what does Sorbet Shark Cookie do when they’re getting around on land? Whatever they do, they do that. Cut to Wii Fit Trainer, trying to start a fire in the cave. She looks out to see the giant mosquitoes in the distance.

Wii Fit Trainer: “...I wish I could help, but I’d rather not leave my team behind.”

Ibuki Mioda (off-screen): “WE CAN’T SEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!”

Ibuki and Katie run into the cave, tripping over each other.

Wii Fit Trainer: “Where are Luz and Hilda?”

Ibuki Mioda: “They went off alone! They’ll be back if they’re lucky!”

Wii Fit Trainer: “Oh dear…”

Cut to Luz and Katie crawling through the small tunnel. They exit on the other side of the tunnel, now in a larger cave with two metal doors. Luz and Hilda walk to the doors. Luz shines her light on a keypad next to it.

Luz Noceda: “There’s a password!”

Hilda: “We don’t know the password!”

Luz Noceda: “Yeah! You think this is part of the challenge?”

Hilda: “Well, if it’s on the island, it surely is.”

Luz Noceda: “Hm… I feel like if I get the wrong code, something bad will happen.”

Beat.

Luz Noceda: “Let’s try ‘hostisthecoolest’”.

Luz is about to type punch in the code, when the doors open.

Luz Noceda: “Wow, that was easy-”

A giant mosquito steps out of the door.

Luz and Hilda: “AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!”

Cut to Wii Fit Trainer, Ibuki, and Katie.

Wii Fit Trainer: “Did you two hear that? It sounded like Luz and Hilda.”

A few seconds of silence pass before Wii Fit Trainer stands up.

Wii Fit Trainer: “I’m going to find them. Stay here.”

Luz and Hilda run out of the cave, screaming.

Luz Noceda: “I SHOULD’VE BROUGHT EXTRA PAPEEEEEEEEEEEEEER!”

Katie Mitchell: “Hey, you found them-”

A giant mosquito crashes through the back of the cave. Wii Fit Trainer kicks it against the ceiling.

Wii Fit Trainer: “Okay, it’s time to relocate!”

Wii Fit Trainer and Ibuki run off. Katie grabs a piece of burning firewood and uses it to set the bug ablaze. She follows the rest of her team as the bug burns to death. Cut to Still Deciding. They are easily destroying the bugs now. Weiss is zooming around on her glyphs, slicing all the bugs to pieces. Mr. Clean is tearing them apart with his bare hands. Camilo has shapeshifted back into Mr. Clean and is using the extra arm strength to throw coconuts at them. Sasha is fending herself with her swords, and Sorbet Shark Cookie is dive-bombing them. However, whenever they kill one of them, another one appears.

“Mr. Clean”: “Maybe we should leave!”

Sasha slashes her way to “Mr. Clean.”

Sasha Waybright: “I agree! Let’s scram!”

They scram, Sorbet Shark Cookie escaping via river. Cut to η σοφία κυριαρχεί, also fighting the giant bugs. Annabeth drives her dagger into a mosquito’s eyes, when Still Deciding runs by.

Annabeth Chase: “Isn’t that-”

Annabeth sees another swarm of mosquitos flying towards them.

Annabeth Chase: “Oh my gods.”

Cut to Still Deciding and η σοφία κυριαρχεί hiding out in a (different) cave.

Black Hole: “Looks like the rain’s clearing up.”

Camilo Madrigal: “I wish the bugs would clear up too.”

At the back of the cave, Annabeth pulls out Cassy. She is laying on the ground, staring at the sky… of the paper. Does that make sense? Just pretend it does.

Annabeth Chase: “Hi.”

Cassy looks up at Annabeth but goes back to staring at the “sky”.

Annabeth Chase: “Oh, um… does anyone here have a pen I can borrow?”

Scrooge McDuck: “I ended up losing the pen I gave you last time! It cost me 100 dollars to make!”

Weiss Schnee: “Uh, here, I have a pen.”

Weiss pulls a glossy blue SDC pen out of her pocket and tosses it to Annabeth.

Annabeth Chase: “Thanks.”

Annabeth carefully draws a pen using the pen. Cassy sits up and grabs the pen. She then glances at Annabeth, looking mildly annoyed.

Annabeth Chase: “Sorry for not checking up on you. I didn’t have much time today.”

Cassy writes “it’s fine.”

Annabeth Chase: “You don’t look fine.”

Cassy writes “true”.

Annabeth Chase: “Uh… do you want me, to, like, draw you something?”

Cassy perks up at this. She writes “I could go for a car right now.”

Annabeth Chase: “A… car. Okay, I’ll try.”

She starts drawing a car. Cassy steps back as she does this.

Annabeth Chase: “I’m better at drawing maps and diagrams, but…”

She finishes the car. It’s decently drawn.

Annabeth Chase: “There!”

Cut to Still Deciding, staring at Annabeth like she’s crazy.

Sasha Waybright: “What is she doing ?”

Edward Elric: “That’s just Cassy! She lives in the paper! You can draw stuff for her and she can interact with the drawings! Also, I’m pretty sure she has depression.”

Weiss Schnee: “That is the most ridiculous thing I’ve ever heard.”

Camilo Madrigal: “Draw her a basketball hoop!”

Annabeth scoots over to the rest of the people in the cave.

Annabeth Chase: “She’s real, guys. Look.”

Annabeth shows them Cassy’s paper. Cassy has lifted the car’s engine and is tinkering with the motor.

Camilo Madrigal: “Huh, cool.”

Mando gets up.

The Mandalorian: “We should get moving now.”

Sasha Waybright: “Nah.”

The Mandalorian: “I wasn’t talking to you.”

Black Hole: “Okay, we can go deeper into the cave… or leave.”

Edward Elric: “We don’t know what’s in the cave… but we sure as hell know what’s outside! Let’s go into the cave!”

Scrooge McDuck: “Well, you heard him. Let’s go!”

Cut to The Cool running across the island.

Katie Mitchell: “Pleasedon’tnoticeuspleasedon’tnoticeuspleasedon’t-”

A mosquito notices them and starts flying towards them.

Katie Mitchell: “CRAP! Okay, we need a plan! How do we beat that guy?”

Wii Fit Trainer: “I could kick him.”

Katie Mitchell: “You could kick him! That’s great! Please do that!”

They start running up a hill. Wii Fit Trainer jumps up to the mosquito and kicks it into the ground. She lands gracefully and keeps running with her team. The Cool runs up a mountain, and they find something amazing. It’s a MASSIVE house.

Katie Mitchell: “Oh. My. God.”

Steve opens the door to the house, and motions for them to come inside. They happily do so. The interior of the house is just as grand as the exterior. The woods are made of oak, and it is fancily decorated.

Katie Mitchell: “Steve, did you build this?”

Steve nods.

Katie Mitchell: “This is amazing! How’d you do it so fast?!”

Steve motions towards a chest. Ibuki opens it and pulls out an iron sword.

Ibuki Mioda: “A sword! Nice!”

Steve opens another door leading to the basement. The rest of his team follows him down the stairs. Inside, there is a massive storage unit, chested lined along the walls filled with stuff. The Cool opens a chest full of food and help themselves to some meat.There is another room with an underground farm, and another with a strange portal.

Ibuki Mioda: “Nice place! Can we stay?”

Steve runs back towards the stairs. Everyone else follows him. He runs up another set of stairs and heads into the bedroom. There are 7 beds next to each other.

Luz Noceda: “He really did think of everything!”

By now, it is starting to rain again. As lightning strikes, Ibuki sees the outline of a girl standing not too far away from the mansion. The girl’s fingers crackle with electricity.

Ibuki Mioda: “Uh oh.”

Cut to η σοφία κυριαρχεί walking through the cave using makeshift torches. They come across a mineshaft-like area, illuminated with lanterns.

Black Hole: “Oh, cool, we don’t need our torches anymore.”

Scrooge McDuck: “Right you are, Black Hole! This is starting to look like a real adventure!”

η σοφία κυριαρχεί dispose of their torches by throwing them into Black Hole. They walk into what looks like a makeshift arena. Are are three figure there, sitting on three thrones. They all perk up as they see them.

???: “Would you like the challenge… the Mantis Lords?”

Cut to Still Deciding sitting around in the cave.

Camilo Madrigal: “Maybe we should’ve followed them.

Weiss Schnee: “Maybe we shouldn’t have.”

Camilo Madrigal: “...yeah, we didn’t.”

Weiss Schnee: “I’m saying that not following them could prove to be a good idea!”

Camilo Madrigal: “I’m just saying-”

Sasha Waybright: “Oh my god, SHUT UP! I swear to god if you two start bickering, I am going to LOSE IT. We’re gonna win. Plain and simple. Anyone who disagrees is wrong!”

???: “ I disagree.”

Sasha Waybright: “Who said that?”

Sasha steps outside, followed by the rest of her team. There is a big, circular robot there, with a man standing on top.

Camilo Madrigal: “Who are you ?”

???: (smirks) “I am… Syndrome.”

Yep, this episode is a two parter! Here’s a cool poll I made just for fun: https://forms.gle/bT18di98iNXLXS8a7  

Tyler, Top Cat, and Caillou are seen sitting around in a black void.

Tyler: “Where’s the Grinch?”

Top Cat: “Who cares?”

Tyler: “True. But what’s that ?”

Tyler points to a set of metal doors, identical to the ones Luz saw in the cave.

Top Cat: “Who cares?”

Tyler: “True.”

Chapter Text

The episode starts with Katie and Ibuki hanging around in Steve’s living room.

Katie Mitchell: “Honestly, now that we’re in this big mansion, this challenge should be a sinch!”

Ibuki Mioda: “There’s a scary girl outside.”

Katie Mitchell: “What?”

Lightning strikes through the window, shattering it to a thousand pieces. The same girl Ibuki saw outside steps into the house.

???: “I am Azula. Prepare to die.”

Katie Mitchell: “HUH-”

Azula shoots a blue fireball out of her fist. Ibuki and Katie dive two different ways to dodge it, but it hits a painting and starts to burn it. This goes on for a while, Azula shooting fireballs at Katie and Ibuki as they frantically try to run away. Azula does a flip and lands on the stairs.

Ibuki Mioda: “C’mon, man, why are you doing this?! At least let us go upstairs!”

Azula: “No.”

Luz Noceda: “Hey guys, I heard- uh, who are you?”

Ibuki Mioda: “SHE’S GONNA KILL US!”

Luz Noceda: “Oh no.”

Azula shoots a lightning bolt at Luz, who ducks backwards just in time for it to hit the wall behind her. Luz pulls out a fire glyph and smacks it against the floor, sending a fireball towards Azula. Azula backflips to get out of the way. Ibuki charges at her with her sword, but she is disarmed in about 5 seconds.

Ibuki Mioda: “Oh no.”

Luz shoots another fireball at Azula, who just throws Ibuki aside. Katie picks up Ibuki’s sword as Luz and Azula throw shit at each other.

Katie Mitchell: “Here, take the sword!”

Ibuki Mioda: “But you need it!”

Katie Mitchell: “No, you need it! You picked it up first!”

Ibuki Mioda: “I’ll take another weapon!”

Ibuki runs over to the chest, but Azula shoots a fireball at her before she does so.

Azula: “If you touch that chest, your team will be one player short.”

Ibuki Mioda: “What’s that supposed to mean?!”

Azula: “I am going to burn you to death.”

Ibuki Mioda: “Oh.”

Cut to η σοφία κυριαρχεί facing the 3 Mantis Lords.

Mantis Lord #1: “Do you wish to challenge the Mantis Lords?”

Silence.

Edward Elric: “What do we do?”

Scrooge McDuck: “ I wish to challenge the Mantis Lords!”

Edward Elric: “Wait, no, not tha-”

The Mantis Lords stand up.

Mantis Lord #1: “Step forth.”

Scrooge does so. A circular cage drops from the ceiling, over Scrooge and the Mantis Lords.

Annabeth Chase: “SCROOGE! What are you doing?!”

Scrooge McDuck: “What do you think I’m doing?! I’m Scrooge McDuck!”

The Mantis Lords do not respond. Instead, Mantis Lord #1 jumps off his chair and into the arena. He dashes towards Scrooge, who flips out of the way. The Mantis Lord jumps high into the air and dashes towards the ground, Scrooge barely dodging it. The Mantis Lord then throws a circular blade at him. Scrooge ducks to avoid it, but it comes back and hits him in the back.

Scrooge McDuck: “My back-”

The Mantis Lord dashes towards Scrooge again, slamming him against the cage. Before it can attack again, Scrooge smacks it with his cane a few times, causing it to let go. Scrooge dives between its legs as it drives it’s claw into the ground. Scrooge kicks it in the back as it struggles to get it out of the ground. Then, with lightning speed, it slashes at Scrooge and slams him against the cage again. It throws another circular blade at him, hitting him in the stomach. Scrooge lets out an oof as he hits the ground. A few seconds pass, and the cage lifts up and Mantis Lord #1 returns to his seat. Scrooge’s team runs towards him.

Annabeth Chase: “Scrooge! That was amazing! Other than the part where you lost, but still!”

Scrooge McDuck: “Ah, blast it! I can always try again!”

Annabeth tries to help Scrooge up, but Scrooge brushes her hands away and gets up himself. He gasps in pain.

Scrooge McDuck: “Well, I definitely broke something.”

Edward Elric: “Okay, what now?”

The Mandalorian: “...”

Mando draws his pistol and approaches the Mantis Lords.

The Mandalorian: “I would like to challenge the Mantis Lords.”

Cut to Still Deciding fighting Syndrome and his omnidroid.

Syndrome: “Y’know, it would be best if you people gave up right now! You know you have no way to beat me, right?”

Weiss blocks an attack from the robot with a glyph.

Weiss Schnee: “Ha! Don’t make me laugh, like I just did! We could beat you in 5 minutes tops!”

Syndrome: (laughs) “Really? I hate to say this, but it’s already been 7 minutes.”

Camilo Madrigal: “10 minutes tops, then!”

Camilo throws another coconut at the robot. It doesn’t even made a dent. Sasha runs up the robot’s tentacle and is about to drive her sword into it, but Syndrome uses his wristband remote thingy to freeze her and drag her off the ground.

Syndrome: “Now, you of all people being all goody-two shoes surprises me. Weren’t you the one who betrayed your closest friends twice?”

Sasha Waybright: “What?! That’s not true!”

Syndrome: “Oh, you better believe it is. Any other villain would do a monologue right now, about how you should join us and all that jazz… but honestly, I don’t want you.”

He flings Sasha away, just as Mr. Clean appears behind him and tries to attack. Syndrome uses his telekinesis gauntlet to freeze him just as his fist almost collides with his face.

Syndrome: “And I definitely don’t want to deal with you .”

Syndrome chucks Mr. Clean into the sun.

Sorbet Shark Cookie: “O0OoOo0o0O0o!”

Syndrome: “Right you are, weird shark thing! I shouldn’t be wasting my time with this!”

Syndrome uses his gauntlet thing to freeze the 4 remaining members of Still Deciding at the same time.

Camilo Madrigal: “Darn.”

And with that, Syndrome flies off. Cut back to The Cool. Azula and Ibuki, Luz, and Katie are having a stand-off.

Katie Mitchell: “Face it, Azula, you’re outnumbered!”

Azula: “No, I’m afraid you’re outnumbered in this situation.”

Ibuki Mioda: “Oh crap, does she have an evil army waiting outside?!”

Katie Mitchell: “No, I think she means that she’s so good that she counts as, like, 10 people.”

Azula: “Yes-”

Hilda comes down the stairs.

Hilda: “Uh-”

Azula: “You. The child. Join the rest of your team or die.”

Hilda: “What?! What’s going on?!”

Luz Noceda: “Better do what she says, Hilda!”

Hilda does what she says.

Azula: “Now-”

A door opens behind her. She glances over to see that Steve is there with an enchanted Netherite sword and decked out in a full set of enchanted Netherite armor.

Azula: “Okay, that’s good. Where’s the trainer?”

Steve runs over to Azula and attacks her. Azula gets out of the way and shoots a fireball at Steve. It hits him, setting him on fire.

Katie Mitchell: “STEVE!”

Steve just stares at them, not affected by the flames.

Azula: “WHAT-”

Azula smacks a fire glyph onto the wall. It shoots a fireball at Azula, who dodges and shoots another at Luz. Azula fights both Steve and Luz as Katie and Ibuki watch from the sidelines.

Katie Mitchell: “Where is Wii Fit Trainer?!”

Ibuki Mioda: “Uuuuuuh, I don’t know! If she knew this was happening she’d have come and kick this girl’s butt!”

Katie Mitchell: “Okay, we need to help!”

Katie picks up a sword from the floor.

Katie Mitchell: “Oh, sorry, did you want this?”

Ibuki Mioda: “Nah, it’s fine! I can use another weapon!”

Ibuki opens the chest (the one Azula told her not to open) and pulls out a fishing rod.

Ibuki Mioda: “...does this count as a weapon?”

Katie Mitchell: “Well, if you use it right, anything can be a weapon.”

Ibuki casts her fishing rod and and the hook gets caught in Azula robes. She reels the line back in, dragging Azula back to her. Azula shoots fire out of her feet, knocking Katie and Ibuki back and burning up the fishing rod. Katie tries attacking Azula with her sword, but Azula catches the sword in her hand and heats it up so the blade melts off.

Katie Mitchell: “Shoot-”

Cut to Wii Fit Trainer, taking a nice, relaxing bath.

Wii Fit Trainer: “Finally, I can rest.”

Hilda enters the room.

Hilda: “WII FIT TRAINER! Some girl just broke in and is currently trying to kill us!”

Wii Fit Trainer: “Oh. Let me just put my clothes on first, alright?”

Hilda: “Yes ma’am!”

Hilda closes the door and runs down the hall. She opens a chest and pulls out a potion.

Hilda: “I wonder what this does…”

Just then, Wii Fit Trainer comes out of the bathroom.

Wii Fit Trainer: “Where’s the girl?”

Hilda: “In the living room.”

Wii Fit Trainer: “Got it.”

Wii Fit Trainer runs to the living room. Hilda follows her.

Hilda: “Uh, I found this potion-”

Wii Fit Trainer: “Don’t drink it, you don’t know what it does.”

Hilda: “Okay.”

Wii Fit Trainer runs down the living room stairs and kicks Azula in the face. Azula quickly regains her footing, though.

Ibuki Mioda: “Heya, Wii Fit! What took you so long?”

Wii Fit Trainer: “Oh, I was taking a bath.”

Ibuki Mioda: “Oh, if you wanna go back to taking a bath-”

Wii Fit Trainer: “No, this is more important.”

Wii Fit Trainer kicks Azula in the face again. Cut to Mando fighting Mantis Lord #1. The Mantis Lord is using its techniques from it’s previous battle with Scrooge, but with a little alterfictations to avoid Mando’s shots. When the Mantis Lord is close enough, Mando shoots fire out of his spacesuit, taking the Mantis Lord off-guard. The Mantis Lord collapses to the ground, not able to take anymore flames. Mantis Lord #2 is close enough to extinguish the flames with a bucket of water. Mantis Lord #1 moodily hops back into its seat. The rest of Mando’s team jeers.

The Mandalorian: “There. I beat you.”

Mantis Lord #2: “Not all of us.”

The 2 other Mantis Lords get up and jump onto the battlefield. They both throws circulator blades at Mando at the same time. Mando uses his jetpack to fly up and shoot projectiles from up there, but Mantis Lord #3 jumps up and grabs him by the cape, then slams him into the ground, tearing off Mando’s cape and jetpack in the process. Mantis Lord #3 grabs Mando and slams him against the ground again.

The Mandalorian: “Dammit…”

The Mando unleashes his whistling birds, but the 2 Mantis Lords dodge the attack with ease. Mando is unable to keep fighting and the cage is lifting. Mantis Lords #2 and #3 jump back to their seats.

Edward Elric: “CRAP! Twice in a row?!”

Scrooge McDuck: “I thought you didn’t want too-”

Edward steps forwards.

Edward Elric: “I CHALLENGE THE MANTIS LORDS!”

The cage gets lowered, and Mantis Lord #1 jumps from it’s seat. Edward claps his hands together and a pillar emerges from the ground. The Mantis Lord crashes into it. Meanwhile, Annabeth is carefully studying the fight.

Black Hole: “Fighting these guys is pointless. This isn’t part of the challenge, all we need to do is survive.”

Annabeth Chase: “They have a pattern.”

Black Hole: “Huh?”

Annabeth Chase: “The Mantis Lords. They have a fighting pattern. They dash, then they dive, then they throw their blades.”

In the arena, the Mantis Lord throws its circular blade at Edward. Edward turns the blade into a spear and has a short tussle with the mantis.

Scrooge McDuck: “Attaboy, Edward!”

The Mantis Lord snaps the spear in half. In turn, a blade emerges from Edward’s automail arm. He lunges towards the Mantis Lord, and it snaps his arm off.

Edward Elric: “AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!”

The cage gets lifted and the Mantis Lord jumps back to it’s seat. Everyone runs up to Edward.

Edward Elric: “Goddammit! Not again!”

Scrooge McDuck: “Well, that certainly isn’t good! We can’t get it fixed out here, either!”

Edward Elric: “And my mechanic is in an ALTERNATE DIMENSION!... I think?”

Annabeth Chase: “Wait, let’s use Black Hole’s catalog to get Edward a new arm!”

Edward Elric: “No, it’s fine! I’d rather you guys use it for something more important!”

Black Hole: “This is important.”

Edward Elric: “Seriously, I can just get it reattached somehow!”

Edward picks up his severed arm off the floor and glares at the Mantis Lords.

The Mandalorian: “What now? Should we try fighting them again?”

Scrooge McDuck: “Yes, of course we are. I, Scrooge McDuck, am smarter than the smarties, tougher than the toughies, and sharper than the sharpies! I would never back down from a challenge! My team is formed of only the best of the best, and absolutely nobody can tell me otherwise! So, let’s go out there and kick some mantis rump!”

Silence.

Annabeth Chase: “I’ll do it.”

Scrooge McDuck: “Well, then, go on! We’ll be cheering for you!”

Annabeth hands Cassy to Scrooge. She is currently doing donuts with the car Annabeth drew.

Annabeth Chase: “Keep her safe.”

Annabeth then turns to the Mantis Lords and draws her dagger.

Annabeth Chase: “I challenge the Mantis Lords!”

Cut to Still Deciding, trapped in Syndrome’s weird retraining device thing. You know, the one that he used to trap Mr. Incredible? Yeah, you know what I’m talking about. BACK TO THE STORY.

Camilo Madrigal: “So… how do we get out?”

Weiss Schnee: “We can’t…”

Sorbet Shark Cookie: “oo0oO0o.”

Sasha Waybright: “This is all my fault… I should've fought better! But I didn’t, and now we’re all stuck here!

Camilo Madrigal: “Hey, if it makes you feel better, we all failed. Also, where are we?”

Syndrome enters the room.

Syndrome: “Hello, prisoners! How are you enjoying your stay?”

Sasha Waybright: “Let me go, you used paintbrush-haired creep, or you’ll be sorry!”

Syndrome: “Oh, please! What could you possibly do to me ?”

Sasha Waybright: “I’ll KILL you, that’s what!”

Syndrome: “Huh… too bad I already took your swords away.”

Weiss Schnee: “Did you just come here to gloat, or did you have anything important to say?!”

Syndrome: “Oh, no, why would I do that ? I just want to ask you a question. Answer it, and I’ll let you go free.”

Sasha Waybright: “Fine. Ask.”

Syndrome: “So, you know Host, that sneaky little bastard… where does he keep the artifact?”

Camilo Madrigal: “The what?”

Syndrome: “Oh, you didn’t think his powers were natural, did you? No, no, no, they aren’t ! With the artifact, Host is literally just some guy! So, tell me where it is, and I’ll let you go.”

Camilo Madrigal: “Look, buddy-”

Syndrome: “It’s SYNDROME!”

Camilo Madrigal: “Yeah, yeah, right. Look, Syndrome, we didn’t even know this artifact existed before you told us. So, as a result, we don’t know where it is.”

Syndrome: “Liar! Tell me where it is!”

Camilo Madrigal: “My guy, I told you where it was! Or where it wasn’t, because we don’t know!”

Syndrome: “Fine, fine. Maybe some extra force is needed for this!”

Cut to The Cool. Azula gets thrown out the window, Luz, Steve, and Wii Fit Trainer following her. There is a cliff right behind Azula.

Luz Noceda: “The jig is up, Azula! We have you cornered!”

Azula: “Oh, I don’t think so.”

Azula jumps off the cliff.

Wii Fit Trainer: “Oh. I suppose that’s the easy way out.”

Luz peeks down the cliff, just as Azula flies up, sending Luz flying into the roof of the house. Azula shoots more fire at Steve and Wii Fit Trainer. Wii Fit Trainer dodges it, but Steve just takes the hit and lets his fire resistance do the work. Steve pulls out his bow and shoots at arrow at Azula. In turn, she shoots a lightning bolt at him, which he blocks with her shield. The force of the bolt sends Steve back a bit.

Cut to η σοφία κυριαρχεί, watching Annabeth fight the Mantis Lord. She is swiftly dodging their attacks, occasionally slashing with her dagger. She finally drives the dagger into the Mantis’s chest. The mantis takes it out and hands it back to her, defeated. It jumps back to it’s seat and the other two stand up.

Annabeth Chase: “Okay, round two…”

And finally, cut to Mr. Clean, floating through space. 

Mr. Clean: “My swiffer senses are tingling!”

Mr. Clean bounces off an asteroid and starts hurtling to the Earth. He lands on the island, creating a large crater. He then punches through the ground, creating a hole leading to a metal hallway. He runs down the hallways and rips off a set of doors, revealing the room where the rest of his team is being held captive. Before Syndrome can react, Mr. Clean zooms up to him and punches him right in the face, then destroys the control panel, letting the rest of his team go.

Sasha Waybright: “YES!”

Mr. Clean gives Sasha her swords and Weiss Myrtenaster.

Syndrome: “NO!”

Mr. Clean: “I’m going to clean your blood off the floor after this!”

Mr. Clean grabs Syndrome by the foot and smashes him against the floor a bunch of times. Meanwhile, Host is flying above the island in a helicopter.

Host (over megaphone): “Okay, guys! I’m here! You can come to my helicopter now!”

Mr. Clean jumps out of a crater, carrying the rest of his team. He lands on the helicopter.

Host (over megaphone): “Okay, Still Deciding is safe!”

Still Deciding cheers.

Syndrome: “NOT FROM ME!”

Still Deciding jeers. Syndrome is flying towards the helicopter.

Host: “Who the hell is that used paintbrush-hair creep?”

Syndrome: “I. Am. SYNDROME!”

Host: “Okay.”

Host snaps his fingers and Syndrome’s rocket boots disappear.

Syndrome: “WAIT NO-”

Syndrome falls back to the earth.

Host: “Thank god we weren’t driving a plane, am I right?”

Cut to Annabeth fighting Mantis Lords 2 and 3. They both throw their blades at her. She leaps into the air, dodging them both. Mantis Lords #2 dashes at her, but she jumps over it and stabs it. The other one dashes at her as well, but Annabeth dives to the side. This goes on for a while, before Annabeth finally tires out the two Mantis Lords. They both jump to their seats, defeated.

Mantis Lord #1: “You have defeated the Mantis Lords. Our respect goes to you, brave warrior.”

They all bow as the cage lifts.

Edward Elric: “YEAAAAAAAAAAAAH! YOU SHOWED THOSE BUGS WHOSE BOSS, ANNABETH!”

Scrooge McDuck: “Amazing job, my lass!”

Annabeth Chase: “Haha, thanks. Frankly, I’m used to fighting monsters.”

Mantis Lords #3: “We are not monsters.”

Annabeth Chase: “Oh, sorry.”

The Mandalorian: “Wait. Does she get a reward?”

Mantis Lord #1: “Yes.”

The Mandalorian: “Good.”

Mantis Lord #1 hands Annabeth a bunch of strange shells.

Annabeth Chase: “Um, thanks. So, guys, let’s get outta here!”

They do that. Cut to The Cool. Wii Fit Trainer is having a melee fight with Azula. She wins, slamming Azula into the ground. Azula lands on her feet and shoots a fireball at Wii Fit Trainer, but a large iceberg blocks it. It’s Luz, who has drawn an ice glyph on the wall. There is a fire glyph next to it.

Azula: “Don’t you dare.”

Luz activates the fire glyph, sending a massive fireball towards Azula. Azula uses all of her might to counter it with an equally large blast of fire. Meanwhile, η σοφία κυριαρχεί is making their way to the helicopter.

Edward Elric: “HOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOST! OVER HERE!”

Syndrome nearly lands on Edward.

Edward Elric: “Yikes!”

Host lets down a rope ladder for η σοφία κυριαρχεί. Annabeth starts climbing it. Ibuki sees this from Steve’s house.

Ibuki Mioda: “Oh shoot! We can’t let the other team win!”

Katie Mitchell: “What do we do?!”

Hilda: “Doesn’t Luz have something to sabotage the other team?”

Ibuki Mioda: “Luz is busy right now! It’s Ibuki’s time to shine!”

Ibuki grabs a bow and several arrows from a chest. She shoots one at Annabeth, nearly missing her head.

Annabeth Chase: “HOLY-”

Ibuki shoots more arrows at Annabeth. She quickly scurries up the later to avoid them.

Ibuki Mioda: “Darn!”

Mando has started climbing the ladder.

Ibuki Mioda: “Okay, take two-”

Mando shoots Ibuki before she can shoot him. It grazes the top of her head, burning some of her hair.

Ibuki Mioda: “Never mind.”

Meanwhile, the 3v1 fight is getting intense.

Wii Fit Trainer: “Luz! Steve! I’ll hold her off, get to the helicopter!”

Luz Noceda: “No! We aren’t leaving without you! We can’t win without you either, I’m pretty sure!”

Katie, Ibuki, and Hilda are running towards the helicopter.

Wii Fit Trainer: “Go, join the rest of the team! I’ll be there shortly!”

Azula: “No, you will not.”

Wii Fit Trainer: “Yes, I wi-”

Lightning strikes, and Wii Fit Trainer gasps. The camera pans down to reveal a small hole in her chest.

Wii Fit Trainer: “...I can feel the burn…”

Wii Fit Trainer keels over and dies.

Luz Noceda: “NOOOOOOO actually she can get respawned but NOOOOOOOO!”

Azula sweeps Luz and Steve off the cliff. Steve empties a bucket of water beneath him, saving his own life. Luz hits the ground and breaks her leg.

Luz Noceda: “Ow, ow, OW!”

Steve approaches her.

Luz Noceda: “I-I’m sorry, Steve… I couldn’t fight her…”

Steve drops a golden apple. It hovers above the ground.

Luz Noceda: “Um… thanks?”

Luz takes the golden apple and takes a bite. Instantly, her legs snaps back to normal.

Luz Noceda: “WOAH! Steve, you’re the BEST! Let’s go catch that helicopter now!”

Edward is the last person to not get on the elevator. To make things worse, Ibuki is shooting at him. She misses every shot, though.

Edward Elric: “Stop SHOOTING at me, you little bitch!”

Katie Mitchell: “Hey, I don’t appreciate you talking to my friend that way!”

Edward Elric: “Tell your friend top STOP TRYING TO KILL ME!”

Katie Mitchell: “Ibuki, don’t listen to the short guy. Keep shooting.”

Edward Elric: “I’M NOT SHORT!”

Scrooge McDuck: “Keep climbing, boy! You’re almost there!”

Edward throws his arm onto the ship, and then hoists himself up just as Luz and Steve arrive.

Edward Elric: “Well, look who’s short now!”

Katie Mitchell: “It’s still you.”

Edward Elric: “NO IT’S NOT!”

Host (over megaphone): “Also, The Cool loses!”

Ibuki Mioda: “NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO-”

Voting is closed! Thank you for reading! ECER 7 is on the way!

Host is seen in a massive, starry void, with a bunch of random stuff floating around.

Host: “Think, Host, think… what can the next challenge be… a singing contest? No, that would be boring…”

A portal opens behind him.

Host: “Oh, for fuck’s sake-”

Thanos steps out of the portal.

Thanos: “Host. For too long, you have brought imbalance to the universe.”

Host: “Okay, and how does making a cool interdimensional game show bring imbalance or whatever?”

Thanos: “Each universe has a set timeline to follow. Be having this so-called “gameshow”, you blah blah blah blah blah blah blah, blah blah. Blah, blah, blah. Blah blah. Blah? Blah. Blah blah blah.”

Host: “Uh-huh, totally.”

Thanos: “Good. Remember these words, Host: I am inevitable.”

Thanos opens a portal and steps through.

Host: “Wow, what a dork.”

Chapter Text

The episode begins with everyone in the helicopter.

Ibuki Mioda: “Hooooooost, can you revive Wii Fit Trainer?”

Host: “Yes, I can.”

Beat.

Host: “But I won’t.”

Ibuki Mioda: “Aw, what? Why not?”

Host: “Because I don’t want to! Come on, let’s go to the void now.”

Host drives the helicopter away from the island.

Edward Elric: “How will we-”

The helicopter gets instantly teleported to the void.

Edward Elric: “Oh.”

The helicopter lands. Wii Fit Trainer is standing there, waiting for them. Everyone gets off the helicopter.

Katie Mitchell: “Hey, Trainer. We lost again…”

Wii Fit Trainer: “Ah, that’s fine! At least we tried our best.”

Meanwhile, Edward approaches Host, carrying his severed metal arm in his hand.

Edward Elric: “Host, can you reattach my arm?”

Host: “I don’t know, can I?”

Edward Elric: “Yeah, what I wanna know!”

Host: “Oh. I can.”

Beat.

Edward Elric: “So, uh, can you-”

Host: “I just said I can! Anyways, it’s time for PIE OR DIE!”

Pan out to The Cool.

Katie Mitchell: “Well, no matter who gets out, it’s going to be a sad, sad day. So, I want everyone to know, that I-”

Everyone gets teleported to the Pie or Die area.

Host: “Please don’t get sentimental. Anyways, welcome back, The Cool! You guys have lost again! Which must suck for the viewers, because you won the team popularity poll by a landslide.”

Ibuki Mioda: “Awwww, thank you!”

Host: “Anyways, let’s reveal the votes!”

The screen next to Host displays the number “25.”

Host: “25 votes! It’s like we get more votes every episode! The one oddball being ECER 3, where the votes actually decreased. Sigh. Anyways, Steve, with 11 votes, you get the prize! It’s an AK-47!”

Steve gets an AK-47. He celebrates by jumping a few times in his seat and punching the air.

Host: “How fun. Anyways, time for the elimination votes! Today’s pie will be coconuts! If you’re safe, you will get an ENTIRE coconut!”

Luz Noceda: “Aw man, I was hoping for banana cream pie!”

Host: “Well, sucks for you! But what doesn’t suck for you is that you were the only one with 0 votes!”

Luz Noceda: “Oh, yay!”

Hilda: “Congrats, Luz!”

Host tosses a coconut at Luz. She catches it with ease.

Luz Noceda: “Wow, playing Grudgby really payed off!”

Wii Fit Trainer: “What is… Grudgby?”

Luz Noceda: “It’s-”

Host: “NOT IMPORTANT! The next person safe is Katie, who got 3 votes!”

He tosses a coconut at Katie. She fumbles the catch and drops the coconut into the void.

Tyler (off-screen): “OW!”

Katie Mitchell: “SORRY, TYLER!”

Host: “Luz could teach you a thing or two about playing with balls!”

Katie Mitchell: “Please never say that again.”

Host: “Luz could teach you a thing or two about playing with balls!”

Katie Mitchell: “Stoooooooooooooooooop.”

Host: “Anyways, 4 people remain. 3 of you were tied, but at the last second, one person got just enough votes to be eliminated! So, the first person in the 3-way tie is… Hilda. With 5 votes, you are safe.”

Hilda receives a coconut. Katie high-fives her.

Host: “The next person in the 3-way is… Steve. With 5 votes, you are safe.”

Host tosses Steve a coconut.

Host: “Wii Fit Trainer. Ibuki. One of you will be eliminated. The person NOT being eliminated, is…”

Dramatic pause. Everyone in the team, minus Steve, is incredibly nervous.

Host: “Wii Fit Trainer. With 5 votes, you are safe.”

Wii Fit Trainer gets a coconut.

Katie Mitchell: “Wait, but that means…”

Host: “Ibuki, with 7 votes, you are eliminated!”

Ibuki Mioda: “Nooooooooo!”

Luz Noceda: “Ibuki! I’m sorry! It isn’t my fault, but, um, yeah!”

Ibuki Mioda: “I would hug you guys right now, but-”

Host: “Hugging is cringe.”

Ibuki Mioda: “Yeah. Katie, Hilda, Luz? And Wii Fit Trainer and Steve to a lesser extent? You guys gotta WIN this for me! Ibuki, out!”

Ibuki gets dropped into the shadow realm. Host lets the rest of her team go.

Katie Mitchell: “This sucks.”

Wii Fit Trainer: “I have to agree. Ibuki was the heart of the team.”

Katie Mitchell: “We need to make we don’t lose and win for her, like Ibuki said!”

Hilda and Luz: “Yeah!”

Pan to η σοφία κυριαρχεί.

Scrooge McDuck: “Ibuki’s gone, eh? That’s surprising, if I do say so myself..”

Edward Elric: “At least we know she won’t try to KILL us anymore! God, that still pisses me off!”

Scrooge McDuck: “First time, eh, lad? When you’re as rich as me, people try to kill you every other day!”

The Mandalorian: “I can relate to that. The part where people try to kill you, I mean.”

Annabeth Chase: “Same here…”

Host: “EVERYONE! It is time for the next challenge! The challenge is…”

Host snaps is finger, and η σοφία κυριαρχεί is teleported to a gray room with no door or windows.

Host (over intercom): “To get along! To get out of this room, you should consider each of your teammates an acquaintance at least! GO!”

Annabeth Chase: “Oh, okay. That should be easy!”

Beat.

Edward Elric: “So, uh, do we just go around and introduce ourselves?”

Black Hole: “I think we know each other well enough.”

The Mandalorian: “Then why aren’t we being set free?”

Black Hole: “Oh, wait, Cassy. Annabeth is the only one we really talks with her.”

Annabeth Chase: “Oh, yeah, that’s right.”

Annabeth pulls out Cassy’s paper. Cassy is sitting next to the car, covered with grease.

Annabeth Chase: “Hi.”

Cassy writes “I could go for a toolkit or something right now.”

Edward Elric: “So, uh, the challenge is to get along.”

Cassy raises an eyebrow.

Edward Elric: “We, uh, don’t know you much!”

Cassy writes “oof”.

Edward Elric: “So, do you wanna get to know each other?!”

Cassy shrugs. Cut to Still Deciding, sitting in silence in an identical room. Sasha is tapping her foot, looking quite angry.

Sasha Waybright: “Just so you guys know, what Syndrome said about me is not true.”

Weiss Schnee: “Nobody said it was.”

Camilo Madrigal: “Syndrome said it was.”

Weiss Schnee: “That doesn’t count!”

Camilo Madrigal: “Well, he did say that, did he?”

Sasha Waybright: “Guys, we need to get along for this challenge, remember?”

Sorbet Shark Cookie: “O0O0oo0o0OoooO!”

Sasha Waybright: “Exactly, Sorbet. Let’s do some icebreakers! My name is Sasha Waybright, second in command of Grime, the ruler of the toads!... kind of.”

Camilo Madrigal: “Eh, I’ve seen a living black hole, so I’ll believe that.”

Sasha Waybright: “I was trapped in another world, separated from my friends-”

Camilo Madrigal: “The ones Syndrome said you betrayed?”

Sasha Waybright: “WOULD YOU SHUT UP ABOUT SYNDROME?!”

Camilo Madrigal: “Hey, I’m just asking!”

Sasha Waybright: “Yes, they were the ones I betray- I DIDN’T betray! Jeez, you’re so hung up over that!”

Cut to The Cool. Wii Fit Trainer is stretching as everyone else is watching Katie play the knife game with her no. 3 Robertson non-slip screwdriver. Luz and Hilda are on the edge of their seats… even though they’re sitting on the floor.

Katie Mitchell: “Oh, I have all my fingers!

The No. 3 Robertson non-slip screwdriver goes chop chop chop!

If I miss the space in between my fingers will come off,

And if I hit my fingers blood will soon come out,

But all the same I play this game, because that’s what it’s all about!”

Katie stops playing. Hilda and Luz clap politely.

Katie Mitchell: “Thank you, thank you, thank you very much!”

Luz Noceda: “Can’t you, like, not use the pen or pencil?”

Katie Mitchell: “I didn’t use a pen or pencil, though!”

Luz Noceda: “True.”

Katie puts her screwdriver away. Steve then pulls out his pickaxe starts trying to break through the wall. He can’t.

Hilda: “Now what?”

Katie Mitchell: “Just keep playing games until Host sets us free, I guess! Ibuki, what- oh, yeah. She’s gone now.”

Wii Fit Trainer: “What did you want to do?”

Katie Mitchell: “I don’t know, that’s why I wanted to ask Ibuki.”

Hilda: “It feels really different without her…”

Wii Fit Trainer: “May I suggest yoga?”

Katie Mitchell: “Oh, sure! Let’s do that!”

Cut to η σοφία κυριαρχεί. Everyone is sitting in a circle, listening to Edward.

Edward Elric: “Basically, you need to understand matter, decompose it, and reconstruct it. If you’re good enough, you can make gold out of lead. Get it?”

Cassy writes “a little bit, I’m still waiting for my toolkit.”

Edward Elric: “I’ve explained this a hundred times! How does NOBODY here get it?!”

Annabeth picks up Cassy and uses her SDC pen to draw a toolkit. Cassy writes “thank you.”

Annabeth Chase: “Why do you want a toolkit, anyways?”

Cassy writes “I like to work on cars.”

Annabeth Chase: “Oh… ha, I like architecture. I could draw you a big house one day, if you wanted to.”

Cassy smiles and writes “that would be nice.”

Scrooge McDuck: “Architecture? Interesting.”

Annabeth Chase: “Yeah! So, like, every summer, I go to… this summer camp. You should see my cabin, it’s full of maps and charts.”

Black Hole: “Oh, is that what Camp Half-Blood is?”

Annabeth Chase: “H-how did you know-”

Black Hole: “It’s on your shirt.”

Annabeth Chase: “Oh. Well, yeah, I used to live at Camp-Half Blood… but, um, now I just go every summer- Uh, let’s change the subject! Scrooge, what do you like to do?”

Scrooge McDuck: “Ah, lassie, I’m an explorer! And not to mention the richest duck in Duckburg. I’ve earned every penny on my own, starting with my very first dime! Let me tell you about how I braved Mount Neverest!”

Annabeth Chase: “You mean Mount Everest-”

Scrooge McDuck: “MOUNT NEVEREST!”

Cut to Still Deciding, still sitting in silence.

Sasha Waybright: “So… any more icebreakers?”

Mr. Clean: “Ever since the day I was born, I was born… to clean. My first words were-”

Sasha Waybright: “I didn’t want your backstory, just tell me about yourself!”

Camilo Madrigal: “That’s what he’s doing, Sash! He’s telling you about himself by saying his backstory!”

Mr. Clean: “Exactly!”

Sasha Waybright: “You, shut up! We need to get along so we can win the challenge!”

Sorbet Shark Cookie: “O0ooO0OoOoo!”

Weiss Schnee: “Exactly! We can’t just start bickering like children, especially when the challenge is to do the opposite of that!”

Camilo Madrigal: “But then why is she-”

Weiss covers Camilo’s mouth.

Sasha Waybright: “Let’s all say one nice thing about each other, starting with me! Weiss, I love your dress!”

Weiss Schnee: “Awww, thank you!”

Sasha Waybright: “Mr. Clean, you make bald look good. And Sorbet Shark Cookie? My man, just keep on talking with your weird gurgling sounds, because it’s ADORABLE!”

Sorbet Shark Cookie: “OOo0O0Ooo…”

Sasha Waybright: “And, Camilo…”

Camilo Madrigal: “Yes?”

Sasha Waybright: “You… can do a good impersonation of me.”

Camilo shapeshifts into Sasha.

“Sasha Waybright”: “I know.”

Sasha Waybright: “Seeeeeeeeeee? Compliments all around! Host can let us go now!”

Beat.

Sasha Waybright: “Are you kidding me?! What was I doing wrong?!”

“Sasha Waybright”: “You have to mean the compliments.”

“Sasha” shapeshifts back into Camilo.

Camilo Madrigal: “ I think you’re trying to act nice to cover up the fact that Syndrome exposed you.”

Sasha Waybright: “I’m acting nice because of the challenge, dingus!”

Camilo Madrigal: “And not because you are nice? Woooooooooooooow, Sash, not cool!”

Sasha Waybright: “LISTEN HERE-”

Sasha stops talking, and takes a deep breath. She puts a hand on Camilo’s shoulder.

Sasha Waybright: “Camilo. My valued friend and teammate. You are the heart of this team, after me, Weiss, Sorbet Shark Cookie, Mr. Clean, and maybe Top Cat.”

Camilo Madrigal: “At least I’m better than Caillou.”

Sasha Waybright: “ You, my friend, have very, very impressive superpowers! After Weiss and Mr. Clean. But the way you threw those coconuts at the weird robot thing? The way you are half of a three-tiered cake by yourself? The way you courageously dodged those angry cars? Truly, truly I say to you, you are… pretty cool.”

Beat.

Sasha Waybright: “GOD-”

Cut to The Cool. Wii Fit Trainer is leading a yoga class, as Steve is still breaking the wall.

Wii Fit Trainer: “...first, place both hands on the ground and extend your legs.”

Everyone does so.

Wii Fit Trainer: “Now, do a press up. Feel free to bend your legs.”

Everyone does so. Except for Katie, who just collapses onto the ground.

Katie Mitchell: “Okay… maybe that wasn’t such a good idea.”

Luz also flops over, not being able to keep up with Wii Fit Trainer.

Hilda: “Hey, shouldn’t we have been freed by now? We’re already more than acquaintances.”

Wii Fit Trainer: “Maybe you aren’t close enough to Steve?”

Katie Mitchell: “I guess so. Hey, Steve, stop punching the wall, we need to make friends with you!”

Steve stops trying to break the wall and glances at Katie.

Katie Mitchell: “Because, um… that’s the challenge.”

Silence. Steve places a sign down. It says “knife game?”

Katie Mitchell: “You want me to do the knife game again?”

Steve nods.

Katie Mitchell: “Okay, I guess I’ll just-”

Steve hands her his Netherite sword.

Katie Mitchell: “...um…

Hilda: “I think he wants you to play the knife game with his sword!”

Katie Mitchell: “What?!”

Cut to Still Deciding.

Camilo Madrigal: “Clearly you don’t know how to make friends.”

Sasha Waybright: “Can it, Camilo! You’re the problem here!”

Camilo Madrigal: “How?”

Sasha Waybright: “Because YOU keep being a snotty, conniving little-”

Sorbet Shark Cookie jumps up and slaps Sasha.

Sasha Waybright: “OW! What the heck-”

Camilo Madrigal: “HA!”

Sorbet Shark Cookie slaps Camilo as well.

Camilo Madrigal: “OW! What did I do?!”

Sorbet Shark Cookie: “Oo0OO0o0Oooo!”

Mr. Clean: “Our amphibious friend is correct! We must stop bickering and try to get along with each other!”

Weiss Schnee: “Yeah, um, let’s do that.”

Sorbet Shark Cookie: “O0o0O0o. Oo00o! O0o0o0Oooooooooooo0o o0o0O0oo0o0oooooo!”

Sorbet Shark Cookie sits down and pats the spot next to him. Soon enough, every member of Still Deciding is sitting around in a circle.

Weiss Schnee: “So… who wants to play tic tac toe?”

Dead silence.

Weiss Schnee: “What? Isn’t that what you people like to do nowadays?”

Camilo Madrigal: “No.”

Weiss Schnee: “Oh.”

Everyone glances towards Sasha.

Sasha Waybright: “...what?”

Silence.

Sasha Waybright: (sighs) “I’m sorry .”

Camilo Madrigal: “Good job, Sasha, that’s definitely all you can do to fix your problems!”

Sasha Waybright: “Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuugh… I’m sorry for being mean to you.”

Camilo Madrigal: “Apology accepted!”

Silence.

Camilo Madrigal: “...and… I’m sorry for kind of tearing into you, I guess.”

Sasha Waybright: “It’s okay.”

Silence.

Sasha Waybright: “Are we supposed to hug or something?! What more does Host want?!”

Camilo Madrigal: “Maybe he wants a better apology?”

Sasha Waybright: “Why would HOST want a better apology?! He isn’t part of our drama!”

Camilo Madrigal: “Maybe you just didn’t mean it?”

Sasha Waybright: “ARE YOU SERIOUS?! I meant every single WORD of that apology!”

Camilo Madrigal: “Obviously not, if we aren’t out yet!”

Sasha snarls and grabs the hilt of her sword.

Weiss Schnee: “Sasha, no!”

Cut to η σοφία κυριαρχεί. Scrooge is telling a story as the rest of his team listen intently.

Scrooge McDuck: “...and so, after escaping the cave, we kept trekking up Mount Neverest! A few wormholes wouldn’t stop Scrooge McDuck!... but alas, I never made it to the top.”

Edward Elric: “WHAT?! NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!”

Everyone looks at Edward.

Edward Elric: “I-I mean, um… oops?”

Scrooge McDuck: “Eh, it was worth it in the end. But that, my friends, was the only ever time I failed… until I lost to the Mantis Lords. I’m losing my touch, am I?”

Annabeth Chase: “No way, you did great out there!... until you lost.”

Scrooge McDuck: “I know… you know what?! I’m going to beat the Mantis Lords somehow!”

Edward Elric: “Woah, really?!”

Scrooge McDuck: “I’m going to show those mantises that they can’t just beat Scrooge McDuck and get away with it! I’m going to-”

η σοφία κυριαρχεί gets teleported back to the void.

Scrooge McDuck: “Oh, would you look at that, we won.”

The team cheers. Cut back to Still Deciding. Sasha is chasing Camilo around the room with her swords.

Camilo Madrigal: “Okay, wait! Let’s talk about this! I’m sorry if I was kind of mean, but-”

Sasha attempts to slice him, but Camilo ducks just in time. She’s about to swing again, when she stops mid-swing. She looks to see that her sword is caught in one of Weiss’s glyphs.

Sasha Waybright: “Are you serious, Weiss?! You too?!”

Weiss Schnee: “Sasha, you were trying to kill someone! Do you have any common sense?! Camilo may have deserved it-”

Camilo Madrigal: “Hey!”

Weiss Schnee: “-but that doesn’t change the fact that you were the one actively disadvantaging the team! If you want to keep doing this, fine. But don’t be surprised when you’re eliminated next episode.”

Silence. Sasha just looks at her shoes.

Sasha Waybright: “...you’re right, Weiss… I’m a horrible friend.”

Sasha lets go of her sword. She sits on the floor and buries her face into her hands.

Sasha Waybright: “Ugh, what am I gonna do…”

Weiss sits down next to Sasha.

Weiss Schnee: “Sasha, it’s okay… just apologize to Camilo, and-”

Sasha Waybright: “I wasn’t talking about Camilo.”

Weiss Schnee: “Oh. Um, who were you talking about?”

Sasha Waybright: “...remember when I mentioned the toads?”

Weiss Schnee: “I thought you were joking.”

Sasha Waybright: “Why would I be joking?”

Weiss Schnee: “UH-”

Sasha Waybright: “Whatever, it’s fine. The point is… I’ve done a lot of things I regret. And I’m sorry for that.”

Camilo Madrigal: “Apology accepted!”

Sasha Waybright: “I wasn’t talking about you !”

Sorbet Shark Cookie: “Ooo0ooOO0Oo!”

Sasha Waybright: “Exactly! Let’s put everything that happened in this room behind us, okay? After this, Still Deciding is officially… A TEAM!”

Camilo Madrigal: “We already were-”

Still Deciding gets teleported back to the void. Weiss and Sasha hug and cheer.

Sasha Waybright: “WE’VE WON! YES!”

Weiss and Sasha stop dead in their tracks when they hear The Cool doing the same.

Weiss Schnee: “Wait… what?”

A FEW MINUTES EARLIER…

Katie is seen playing the knife game with the netherite sword. She can barely lift it, yet she does it anyways.

Katie Mitchell: “Oh, I have all my fingers!

The sword goes chop chop chop!

If I miss the space in between my entire hand will come off,

And if I hit my fingers blood will sure come out,

But all the same I play this game, because that’s what it’s all about!”

Everyone loses their shit.

BACK TO THE PRESENT

Sasha Waybright: “I… can’t believe it. We LOST?!”

Host: “Yes, you did!”

Sasha drops to her knees.

Sasha Waybright: “NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!”

Camilo Madrigal: “Oof.”

VIEWERS! Voting is closed! ECER 8 is on the way!

Syndrome, the Mantis Lords, Azula, and Monika are seen in a dark room, sitting at a table.

Syndrome: “Okay, so, last episode was a failure. We didn’t get what we wanted, and I got HUMILIATED!”

Monika: (giggles) “When I tried attacking the show, I ended up killing almost everyone.”

Syndrome: “I KNOW! Which is why I am going to up my game!”

Azula: “I feel like someone more qualified should do the job.”

Azula’s finger spark with lightning.

Mantis Lord #1: “Some contestants proved to be quite skilled in combat.”

Azula: “I can agree with that… which is why we need to catch them by surprise. Make sure they never see us coming before it’s too late.”

Monika: “Don’t worry about that… I have someone on speed dial.”

Just as she this, Monika gets a call on her phone from an unknown caller. She answers it and puts the phone up to her ear.

Unknown Caller: “Do you like scary movies?”

Monika: (smiles) “Yes.”

Chapter Text

The episode opens with Sasha standing in the void, glaring off into the distance. Weiss approaches her.

Weiss Schnee: “Sasha.”

Sasha Waybright: “What?”

Weiss Schnee: “About… last challenge?”

Sasha Waybright: “I’d rather die than apologize to Camilo. Is that what you were gonna say?”

Weiss Schnee: “No, of course not! Camilo deserved to be slapped, but not outright murdered!”

Sasha Waybright: “...yeah, I guess so. I’ll resort to slapping Camilo instead of trying to kill him.”

Weiss Schnee: “That’s good!”

Camilo Madrigal: “No it’s NOT!”

Sasha Waybright: “You aren't part of this conversation!”

Camilo Madrigal: “ I’m still waiting for my-”

Sasha Waybright: “Get out of here, Camilo!”

Weiss Schnee: “Yeah, Camilo! You need to mind your own business! Get out of here!”

Camilo Madrigal: “Um-”

Sasha Waybright: “Go on, Camiloo! Get out of here!”

Weiss Schnee: “Go bother someone else, Camilo, get out of here!”

Camilo Madrigal: “Okay, jeez, I’m leaving!”

Camilo puts his hands up and walks away. Mr. Clean joins him.

Mr. Clean: “You know that most likely, either you or Sasha will be eliminated?”

Camilo Madrigal: “I hope it’s her!”

Mr. Clean: “Well, I hope it’s neither! We need to step up our game!

Camilo Madrigal: “Honestly, we were just unlucky. I guess we just wait until Host starts Pie or Die and sends one of us to the void.”

Mr. Clean: “I wonder what they do down there!”

Camilo Madrigal: “Probably just sitting around.”

Mr. Clean: “I doubt that!”

Quick cut to the eliminated contestants sitting around.

Camilo Madrigal: “I don’t think Host would put everyone in some giant torture device, would you?... actually, that sounds like something Host would do.”

Host: “Is that defamation of character I hear?”

Camilo Madrigal: “No.”

Host: “Good, because that is absolutely something I’d do. But I didn’t! Come on, it’s time for Pie or Die!”

Cut to Still Deciding at the Pie or Die area. Sorbet Shark Cookie looks incredibly depressed.

Sorbet Shark Cookie: “Ooo0O0o0o0Ooooo…”

Host: “Okay, you guys know the drill! Wow, this is the third time you lot has been put up for elimination!”

Weiss Schnee: “You don’t need to rub it in!”

Host: “You’re right, I don’t! But I want to. Because it’s fun. Anyways, let’s see the vote count!”

The vote screen displays the number “30.”

Host: “30 votes! That’s more than 3 times the amount of votes we got in ECER 1!”

Confetti comes down from the sky. Some of it falls into the shadow realm.

Host: “So, the person getting the prize today is… Sasha! You got 10 votes, make you the prize winner!”

Sasha Waybright: “YES!”

Camilo Madrigal: “Booooooooooooo!”

Host: “Your prize is this trophy!”

Host tosses Sasha a trophy made of gold.

Sasha Waybright: “Woah, cool!”

Host: “This baby is made out of 24 karat solid gold! Don’t worry, you’ll find out what the trophy is for soon enough! Now… the elimination votes. Today’s pie will be a chicken pot pie.”

Host pulls out a stack of 4 small chicken pot pies.

Host: “The last person to get a chicken pot pie will be eliminated! So, let’s start. Sorbet Shark Cookie, with 3 votes, you are the first one safe!”

Sorbet Shark Cookie perks up.

Sorbet Shark Cookie: “O0o0o!”

Host tosses Sorbet Shark Cookie a chicken pot pie.

Host: “Weiss got 3 votes as well, so she is also safe!”

Host tosses Weiss a chicken pot pie. She looks at it with disgust before tossing it into the shadow realm.

Host: “Now, it’s down to Sasha, Mr. Clean, and Camilo. Two of you are safe, while one of you is not. The next person safe is Camilo, with 5 votes!”

Host tosses Camilo a chicken pot pie.

Sasha Waybright: “Seriously?!”

Camilo Madrigal: “Suck it, Sash!”

Host: “Sasha. Mr. Clean. Only one chicken pot pie remains. And only one of you will be safe. That person, is…”

Dramatic pause.

Host: “Mr. Clean. With 7 votes, you are safe. Sasha, with 12 votes, you have been eliminated!”

Sasha Waybright: “WHAT?!”

Host: “12 votes, a new record, beating both The Grinch and Tyler! That is what the trophy is for!”

Sasha Waybright: “I DON’T WANT THE STUPID TROPHY!”

Sasha throws the trophy into the shadow realm.

Sasha Waybright: “I… can’t believe this! I did so much for this team, and this is what I get?! Why did they vote for me over Camilo ?!”

Camilo Madrigal: “I dunno, maybe it’s because-”

Sasha chucks her chicken pot pie at Camilo’s face.

Sasha Waybright: “Every time we’ve won, I was one of the reasons for that! Me, Weiss, Mr. Clean, and Sorbet Shark Cookie are all valuable parts of the team… and all CAMILO ever did was shapeshift into someone stronger than him and throw a few coconuts!”

Camilo Madrigal: “Okay, Host, can you, um, drop her now?”

Sasha Waybright: “Yeah, sure.”

Sasha gets dropped into the shadow realm… almost. She uses one of her swords to latch onto Camilo’s seat.

Sasha Waybright: “I’m not going anywhAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!”

Camilo has pushed her off.

Host: “You guys are free to go.”

Host lets everyone go.”

Weiss Schnee: “I can’t believe Sasha is eliminated…”

Camilo Madrigal: “I can!”

Weiss Schnee: “Will you shut up?!”

Camilo Madrigal: “Okay, sheesh, I’m just saying-”

Cut to Host standing around. Edward walks up to him.

Edward Elric: “Hey, can I have, like, a piece of chalk or something?”

Host: “Okay.”

Host snaps his fingers and a piece of chalk appears in Edward’s pocket.

Edward Elric: “Woah, you actually did it!”

Host: “Well, yeah, it’s only a piece of chalk. Unless you want me to take it away”

Edward Elric: “Nonononono, I’m good!”

Edward zooms off, but gets teleported back to Host along with everyone else.

Host: “Challenge time, everyone!”

Host snaps his fingers, and everyone gets teleported to the front yard of a modern house.

Host: “So, today’s challenge is a murder mystery challenge, oooooh! Each team will have a murderer who has to kill everyone! If your team’s murderer dies, you lose!”

Edward Elric: “WHAT?!”

Host: “When someone finds a body, a town meeting will be called, and you’ll all be teleported to the living room to discuss who you think did it. The person with the most votes will be KILLED!”

Edward Elric: “A-are you serious?! You’re really just making the challenge to commit murder?!”

Host: “Don’t be silly, Edward! The challenge is the CATCH the murderer! Unless you’re the murderer. In that case, yes, the challenge is to commit murder.”

Edward Elric: “What is wrong with you?!”

Host: “A lotta things, buddy. So, challenge time! If you’re the murderer, I’ll send a message to your head. Now, before I let you go, I want you all to give up your weapons!”

Host snaps his fingers and a box appears. Everyone who has them puts their weapons inside.

Edward Elric: “Does my severed arm count?”

Host: “Nah. But your chalk does!”

Edward Elric: “Aw man, I just got that!”

Edward puts his piece of chalk in the box.

Hilda: “What could you possible do with a piece of chalk?...”

Host disappears, leaving everyone alone.

Katie Mitchell: “I… guess we can go inside now?”

Annabeth Chase: “Yeah.”

Everyone awkwardly walks into the house, entering the living room. They soon all go their separate ways. Edward, Annabeth and Black Hole enter the backyard.

Edward Elric: “The more I get to know Host, the more I wonder how little he values human life!”

Black Hole: “I agree with that.”

Annabeth Chase: “Well, for now, let’s just stick together. Killing Black Hole is impossible, so we have a confirmed alibi if someone tries to kill one of us.”

Steve walks into the backyard and stares at the 3 of them.

Edward Elric: “What?”

Steve keeps staring at them.

Edward Elric: “Let’s, um… leave.”

Annabeth, Edward, and Black Hole reenter the house. A few seconds pass before Steve digs straight down. Cut to the living room, where Katie, Luz, and Hilda are in the middle of a conversation. Weiss and Camilo are sitting on another couch in silence.

Weiss Schnee: (sighs) “I wish was on another team…”

Camilo Madrigal: “Hey-”

Weiss Schnee: “I was talking to myself. ”

Camilo Madrigal: “Okay.”

They keep sitting in silence, as Luz and Hilda leave the room.

Weiss Schnee: “I feel like you could’ve been less of a jerk last episode.”

Camilo Madrigal: “Who, me?”

Weiss Schnee: “No, Katie. Who else would I be talking to?”

Camilo Madrigal: “What did I do, though?”

Weiss Schnee: “ You kept badgering Sasha about betraying her friends or whatever! We didn’t even know if Syndrome was telling the truth !”

Camilo Madrigal: “Okay, fine, I’ll give you that.”

Weiss Schnee: “Well, it’s too late to apologize, because Sasha is go-”

Weiss notices Katie looking at them.

Weiss Schnee: “Hey! This isn’t your business!”

Katie Mitchell: “I, uh… kinda wanted to give you some advice. I think you guys just talk it out, y’know? Just, like… get to know each other more. Maybe you’ll find out that-”

Weiss Schnee: “I appreciate your trouble, but this isn’t your team.”

Katie Mitchell: “I know that! I’m just, like, helping you avoid pointless drama-”

Mr. Clean walks into the room.

Mr. Clean: “Weiss! Camilo! Sorbet Shark Cookie wants to see you upstairs!”

Weiss Schnee: “What? Why?”

Mr. Clean: “I don’t know either! Just follow me!”

Mr. Clean, Camilo, and Weiss head upstairs, past Sorbet Shark Cookie who is walking the other way. They enter one of the bedrooms. Nobody’s there.

Mr. Clean: “How strange. Sorbet Shark Cookie said he’d be in this room.”

Weiss Schnee: “Ugh, he’s probably in a different roo- wait a minute.”

Weiss walks out of the room and runs downstairs, back to the living room. Katie is now lying on the couch with a pillow covering her face. Camilo follows her.

Camilo Madrigal: “You think she’s dead?”

Weiss Schnee: “No, she’s probably just sleeping.”

Camilo walks up to Katie and puts a hand on her neck.

Camilo Madrigal: “Yeah, she’s asleep… PERMANENTLY!”

TOWN MEETING

Everyone gets teleported to the living room.

Luz Noceda: “What happened!?”

Camilo Madrigal: “Someone killed Katie.”

Luz Noceda: “What?! No! Why would anyone do that?!”

Scrooge McDuck: “It’s the challenge, lassie. Someone was bound to do it. Now, where was everyone at the time of the murder? I was in the basement with the rest of my team.”

Wii Fit Trainer: “I was in the kitchen with Hilda and Luz. Sorbet Shark Cookie joined us just as the town meeting was called.”

Weiss Schnee: “Camilo and I were in the living room most of the time, until Mr. Clean called us upstairs. When we came back down, Katie was dead.”

Scrooge McDuck: “Well… we have 4 obvious suspects here. That being everyone on Still Deciding.”

Weiss Schnee: “WHAT?!”

Scrooge McDuck: “Well, you lot are the only ones without a solid alibi! Asides from Steve, the rest of the teams were all together.”

Wii Fit Trainer: “I must say, that is true.”

Edward Elric: “So, I guess we gotta vote for one of those guys, eh? I say Mr. Clean!”

Mr. Clean: “Why?”

Edward Elric: “Katie was probably killed by smothering, and you’re the kind of guy who’d kill someone by-”

Camilo Madrigal: “Wait, how’d you know how she died, hmmmm?”

Edward Elric: “...because there’s a pillow on her face?”

Camilo Madrigal: “Oh. But Mr. Clean did come from downstairs, and went back upstairs with us. And since-”

Weiss Schnee: “And since Katie was alive when we went upstairs, there’s no way it could be Mr. Clean!”

Camilo Madrigal: “I was gonna say tha-”

Mr. Clean: “That is quite right!”

Annabeth Chase: “Keep in mind that you’re on the same team as him. You don’t want him to be voted out.”

Camilo Madrigal: “Maybe because he’s innocent-”

Annabeth Chase: “All in favor of voting out Mr. Clean, raise your hand!”

Annabeth, Scrooge, Edward, Mando, Luz, Steve, and Hilda raise their hands. Annabeth pulls out Cassy’s paper, revealing she’s raising her hand as well.

Black Hole: (sighs) “I also vote for Mr. Clean…”

Annabeth Chase: “And that’s the majority!”

Mr. Clean: “Well, everyone, I hope you will never recover from this massive blunder!”

Mr. Clean explodes in a ball of fire.

Edward Elric: “HOLY SHIT!”

Silence.

Black Hole: “He was innocent.”

Luz Noceda: “Aw man!”

Black Hole: “We need to be careful of who we vote next time.”

η σοφία κυριαρχεί leaves the living room. The remaining members of The Cool go into the backyard, and Still Deciding goes upstairs. In the basement, Annabeth sets up a painting canvas. She sets Cassy on the canvas, and she travels into it from her paper. Annabeth crumples up the paper and throws it away.

Annabeth Chase: “There! That’ll give you more space!”

Cassy writes “thx!”

Annabeth Chase: “Okay, I need to use the bathroom. Edward, you come with me and take your arm.”

Edward Elric: “Sure thing!”

Edward picks up his severed automail arm from the couch and he and Annabeth run up the stairs. They pass Camilo on the way and head towards the bathroom, which is in the kitchen. Edward waits outside. About 5 seconds of silence pass, before Mando enters the room.

The Mandalorian: “Hey.”

Edward Elric: “Hey Mando.”

The Mandalorian: “I needed to use the bathroom too.”

Mando joins Edward in leaning against the wall.

Edward Elric: “So… what do you think about all of this?”

The Mandalorian: “...what?”

Edward Elric: “Host and his weird gameshow. What do you think about it?”

The Mandalorian: “Uh… it’s cool.”

Edward Elric: “I don’t think so! So far, there has only been 2 challenges where nobody died! I died once! We both died once! And Host just goes ‘oops! Didn’t mean too, sorry guys!’”

The Mandalorian: “...”

Edward Elric: “Uh- sorry for ranting, I just… wish I was back home right now. I had some important things to do.”

The Mandalorian: “...yeah, me too, kid.”

Cut to η σοφία κυριαρχεί in the basement. Scrooge, Mando and Cassy are playing a game of poker while Black Hole watches.. 

The Mandalorian: “...I have a pair.”

Mando reveals his cards, showing 2 fives.

Scrooge McDuck: “I have four of a kind!”

Scrooge reveals his cards, showing 4 nines. They both look at Cassy, who reveals that she has a royal flush.

Scrooge McDuck: “A royal flush?! Again?!”

Black Hole: “Well, she did draw her own cards.”

Scrooge McDuck: “Cassy, let me see the whole deck.”

Cassy smirks and shakes her head.

Scrooge McDuck: “Bah, whatever! I’m going upstairs. We can’t stay down here forever.”

Black Hole: “Okay.”

Scrooge, Mando, and Black Hole leave the basement, with Cassy tucked under Mando’s arm.

Black Hole: “I’m going to search this place. I need to do my best to prevent any deaths.”

Black Hole flies over to the backyard. Luz, Hilda, and Wii Fit Trainer are relaxing on the lawn chairs.

Hilda: “Hi, Black Hole!”

Black Hole: “Where’s Steve?”

Hilda: “He just dug down into the ground.”

Black Hole: “Okay. Did you see anyone else?”

Wii Fit Trainer: “I think I saw Mando and Sorbet Shark Cookie inside, but I didn’t get a very good glimpse of them.”

Black Hole: “Mando? With Sorbet Shark Cookie? That’s odd.”

Black Hole floats back into the house, past the stairs and into the kitchen. Annabeth opens the bathroom door, and they both see Edward at the same time, lying in the floor in a pool of his own blood. His severed arm is missing.

Annabeth Chase: “Oh my gods!”

TOWN MEETING

Everyone gets teleported to the living room.

Camilo Madrigal: “Y’know, it’s ironic that Katie died in the living room! We should change the name now.”

Weiss Schnee: “Camilo, shut up!”

Black Hole: “So, Ed was killed.”

Annabeth Chase: “I heard him talking with Mando when I was using the bathroom, but I highly doubt it was him.”

The Mandalorian: “Yeah, I was with the rest of my team the entire time.”

Camilo Madrigal: “Are you kidding me?! We said the same thing about Mr. Clean and you voted him out!”

Hilda: “Yes, and he also turned out to be innocent!”

Sorbet Shark Cookie: “O0o0OOO00ooooO!”

Wii Fit Trainer: “I actually believe Mando to be innocent. While my team and I were in the backyard, we saw Mando and Sorbet Shark Cookie-”

Camilo Madrigal: “Well, we have to vote for someone !”

The Mandalorian: “You’re right. And it sure as hell won’t be me. Because I know who it is.”

Weiss Schnee: “Oh yeah? Who?”

The Mandalorian: “Camilo. You have shapeshifting powers. That explains why they saw me with Sorbet Shark Cookie.”

Camilo Madrigal: “Actually, my powers don’t work here! Host must’ve turned off our powers or something.”

The Mandalorian: “...any proof?”

Camilo Madrigal: “Well, I can’t exactly prove it by not shapeshifting, can I?”

Annabeth Chase: “Wait. Does anyone else have powers?”

Weiss Schnee: “Oh, yes! Me! My powers don’t work either!”

Annabeth Chase: “...okay then. We’re back to square one. We need to-”

Camilo Madrigal: “Vote for Mando! Raise your hand if you think it’s him!”

Camilo, Weiss, Steve, and Sorbet Shark Cookie raise their hands. Luz and Hilda soon raise their hands as well, followed by Wii Fit Trainer.

Weiss Schnee: “That’s the majority!”

The Mandalorian: “Goddammit, you guys are idiots.”

Mando explodes into flames. There is a brief moment of silence, before…

Black Hole: “Yep, innocent. We should all just stick together in the lobby now to prevent any more death.”

Scrooge McDuck: “Wouldn’t the game last forever, then?”

Black Hole: “Host’ll get bored and teleport us away.”

Scrooge McDuck: “Mhm. That does sound like Host.”

Black Hole: “So… we just sit around and do nothing for now.”

Cassy writes “that’s all we did last episode lol”.

Black Hole: “This time, our lives depend on it.”

Cut to the side of the house. A cloaked figure approaches the breaker box.

???: “Heh… it’s time.”

Cut back to the contestants inside the house. Suddenly, the lights go out.

Black Hole: “...Host? Is that you?”

Camilo Madrigal: “Who else could it be?”

Black Hole: “I just someone should go fix the power. Does anyone here have technical skills?”

Annabeth Chase: “That’s more of a Hephaestus thing…”

Scrooge McDuck: “What?”

Annabeth Chase: “NOTHING! I said nothing!”

Sorbet Shark Cookie: “O0O0OooO0oo0O!”

Suddenly, someone’s phone rings.

Scrooge McDuck: “Oh, that’s mine!”

Scrooge pulls out his gold flip phone from his pocket and answers the call. The light of the phone’s screen provides a very small light source.

Scrooge McDuck: “Hello?”

???: “Do you like scary movies?”

Scrooge McDuck: “...wrong number.”

Scrooge hangs up. Just as this happens, there is a loud creaking sound.

Hilda: “What was that?!”

There is a ton of commotion, seeming like it’s coming from everywhere. There are sounds of stabbing, followed by sounds of screaming.

Scrooge McDuck: “GAH!”

Hilda: “Luz! Wii Fit Trainer! Where’d you guys go?!”

???: “You really don’t wanna hang up.”

Wii Fit Trainer: (gasps)

Silence. Suddenly, the lights go back off, and 3 people are dead. Scrooge is on slumped against the couch, with several stab wounds on his body. Luz is lying on the floor with flood ppuring form a wound in her head, Ed’s bloodied arm next to her. And Wii Fit Trainer is also lying on the floor with her throat slit. Even worse, there are two Annabeths now.

TOWN MEETING

Annabeth Chase #1 and #2: “WHAT?!”

Hilda: “Three people!?”

Cassy writes “there are three killers”.

Black Hole: “And there are two Annabeths.”

Annabeth Chase #1: “That means that Camilo was lying about his powers not working!”

Annabeth Chase #2: “Camilo being you !”

Hilda: “There’s also a man under the couch!”

???: “No there isn’t!”

Black Hole hovers down and peers under the couch. Ghostface is lying there.

Ghostface: “Hi.”

Ghostface bursts out from under the couch with his knife drawn, but trips over the coffee table and faceplants. He lifts himself off the ground.

Annabeth Chase #2: “Oh my god, it’s scream!”

Ghostface: “NO, my name is Ghostface ! Why do people get this wro- okay, you know what? Forget it. I’m here to kill everyone and- what is that drawing doing?”

Cassy writes “we’ve already been doing thaoh hello there”.

Ghostface: “What.”

Cassy writes “yeah”.

Weiss Schnee: “We’re in the middle of something here, you weirdo!”

Ghostface: “Oh, okay, my bad. I’ll just wait over here until you’re done.”

Ghostface walks away.

Weiss Schnee: “Okay, anyways, we need to figure out which Annabeth is fake! How do we do that?”

Hilda: “I know which one it is!”

Annabeth Chase #1 and #2: “How?”

Hilda: “You.”

She points to Annabeth #2.

Hilda: “You said ‘oh my god’!”

Annabeth Chase #2: “So?!”

Hilda: “The real Annabeth always says ‘oh my gods’.”

Annabeth Chase #2: “SO?!”

Sorbet Shark Cookie: “ooOO0oOooo!”

Annabeth Chase #2: “That isn’t true! You guys don’t have any way to vote for-”

Annabeth Chase #1: “Let’s just all vote for Camilo. That way, the fake Annabe- me will get killed.”

Annabeth Chase #2: “DANG IT!”

Weiss Schnee: “Seriously, Camilo, what did you expect to gain from that?”
