Chapter 1: Prologue
Chapter Text
Inside the depths of the Diamond Pyramid, layed a magic crystal called the Vortex Crystal. Said crystal's blue coloring would shine in the very minimal light that would come through. Countless legends had been told about it, and how it had the power to open up gateways to other realms. However, not very many believed in this story, passing it off as nothing more than a fairy tale. Therefore, no one really bothered to journey into the Diamond Pyramid to find this treasure. Wait a minute, who's that in the crystal's chamber?
"Wahahaha!" Wario laughed maniacally as he saw the magic crystal, "Wario's FINALLY found it! Imagine all the money I'll make selling this!"
Wario's eyes turned to dollar signs before he grabbed the Vortex Crystal. Suddenly, the pyramid began to shake violently.
"Uh oh, looks like Wario had better go!" Wario ran out of the pyramid with the crystal in tow.
That night at Wario's house, the crystal started to glow. Wario was too busy watching TV to even notice the glow. All of a sudden, the greedy man heard a voice.
"Wario…."
"WAH!? Who's-a-there?" Wario sprung up from his couch, "You will regret breaking into Wario's house!"
"Wario…..it's me…..the Vortex Crystal!"
"WAH!?" Wario shook his head, "Very funny, but Wario isn't falling for any cheap pranks."
Wario turned around and saw the crystal glowing. He still wasn't phased, and just scoffed.
"I must be imagining things."
"No, it is me!" The crystal's glow went on and off as it talked. "How much more convincing could someone need, for the love of Toadstool!"
Wario shrugged as he HAD seen stranger to be fair, "Alright you oversized piece of jewelry, what do you want?"
"Oh, Wario, I knew you were about to sell me. But, I can make you tons of money in another way. You could be able to make all kinds of profit if you just capitalized on my power to access other universes. You would not only become rich, but also famous for discovering these alternate universes."
Wario squinted his eyes, "What's your-a-catch, rock candy? I'm not-a-stupid, why would you want to help-a-me so badly?"
"Uhhhhhh, you see…..it's….MY DUTY to help whoever finds me! You journeyed into the Diamond Pyramid, and YOU were the one to find me, therefore, you get my help in whatever goal you want to accomplish. It's sort of like a genie, if you catch my drift." The crystal said, definitely not hiding anything at all.
"WAHAHAHA!" Wario laughed, falling completely for this act, "But how do you suppose I make money off of you, without selling you?"
Right on cue, a cartoon started playing on the TV. It was some cartoon that was a parody of the show Survivor. It would probably never catch on in real life or anything, called Total Drama or something? Anyways, as this cartoon played on the tv, a light bulb went off in Wario's head…
Chapter Text
The camera panned out to a giant cruise ship that had orange accents with the two horizontal lines surrounding the ship. The deck was orange and there were many flags above the cruise ship. However, there were some flowers(?) that were painted on the side of the cruise that were crudely crossed out and replaced with W's. The ship itself was on a dock in a random beach in the Mushroom Kingdom. Wario then appeared with his nose being uncomfortably close to the camera.
"It's-a-me! WARIO!" Wario announced.
"Helloooooooo! What about me, you infernal garlic muncher!" The vortex crystal yelled at its associate. "I am the one who gave you the power to be able to do this show in the first place!"
"Oh, and here's this oversized ring pop-a-too." Wario said very unenthusiastically.
"Why you little…"
"Me and my interns from WarioWare Inc. come to you-a-live from the WARIO CRUISER!" Wario told his audience, "A big luxury cruise with everything you can-a-ask for! A pool, a spa, a game room, everything you could ask for!"
Wario continued as he started walking back and forth, "But that's not all! No no no! WAH! 20 chumps have all auditioned to be on this-a-show, Total Drama GOLD!"
"That name doesn't even make any sense!? Gold!? Not just that, YOU JUST COMPLETELY STOLE HALF OF THAT NAME FROM THAT SILLY CARTOON!"
"You know….I could just sell you and make tons of money that way."
The crystal grumbled as Wario laughed at it.
"Now that somebody has shut up, I can tell all of you that these losers are gonna be competing in many challenges and most of them will end up being voted off by their fellow contestants. Wahahahaha! Only one will remain and they will win 1 MILLION DOLLARS as well as a free vacation on the Wario Cruiser."
"Now that I think about it, where DID you get this cruise ship? I certainly didn't see one at your house."
Meanwhile at the very orange castle of Sarasaland, a certain princess was not very happy to say the least, and it wasn't hard to see why since the whole castle was a complete mess. Tables were flipped over, walls had dents in them, there were holes in some other walls, and most importantly, the Daisy Cruiser which would usually be located at the dock behind the castle was gone.
"WARIOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!" Princess Daisy exclaimed, "WHEN I GET MY HANDS ON YOU, I'LL POP YOU LIKE A ZI-!"
"Wario has his ways." Wario handwaved that question off. "Now what are we waiting for, the contestants are-a-coming!"
Right on cue, a short yellow koala looking thing was dropped off at the dock by a speedboat driven by a Koopa Troopa.
"Ah, and you must be Ruby!" Wario pointed at the animal.
"It's Reuben, pal! I'm not no rock." Reuben replied as he pulled out a big-ass sandwich with ham, cheese, and tons of other ingredients in it. "Want a sandwich?"
"Why would Wario want a sandwich? Wah! Garlic's all I need!"
"Suit yourself, bud." Reuben took a bite of his sandwich and went aboard the cruise.
The next speedboat dropped off a ginger girl wearing a labcoat and glasses. She also wore pink boots and had a heart hair accessory on. Normally she would be very upbeat and chipper, but right now, she was sweating bullets.
"Penny! Who would've thought an employee from MY company would be competing." Wario snorted, "Definitely not-a-me!"
"W-Wario! This isn't right! I-I can't do this!" Penny was stuttering hard.
"Sure you can Penny, what did your awful song say again?" Wario closed his eyes as he went into deep thought, "But even when she aims for the high note, stand up proud and sing out loud for you, that's Penny through and…"
"D-don't call my song awful!" For a moment, Penny lost her nervousness as she said that in outrage. "And I still don't approve of this plan of your's, Wario."
After Penny got on the Wario Cruiser, she sat next to Reuben who was in the middle of eating his sandwich.
"Hey…..mister koala?" Penny said awkwardly.
"Huh? Who ya talking to miss?" Reuben said after swallowing his sandwich. "The name's Reuben. Want a sandwich?"
"Hey Reuben, sorry, I'm just kinda stressed out." Penny replied, "I already ate anyway."
As Wario was about to announce the next contestant, he started hearing a noise;
"waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHH!"
That noise came from a lanky man in purple, and this man was pissed.
"WARIO! YOU MAKE A REALITY SHOW AND YOU DON'T EVEN INVITE-A-ME, WALUIGI, TO BE INVOLVED!" Waluigi screamed.
"Oh, guess you found out, Waluigi." Wario replied casually.
"DON'T ACT LIKE-A-THAT TO ME! IT'S ALREADY BAD ENOUGH YOU DON'T LET ME MAKE GAMES FOR YOU IN THAT-A-COMPANY, BUT NOW YOU DON'T EVEN TELL ME ABOUT YOU HOSTING A TV SHOW!?" Waluigi grabbed Wario and started shaking him violently.
"Uh oh, things don't seem very good." Penny said before she turned to Reuben, who had finished his sandwich, "Should we stop that weird purple guy?"
"Nah, garlic breath's got this," Reuben shrugged.
Waluigi had finally finished shaking Wario, "Since you clearly don't appreciate me, Wario, I'll just-a-compete and show EVERYONE who the superior Wario Brother is!"
"Brother!?" Penny blurted out, "Wario, you never told me you had a brother!"
"Because we're not-a-brothers," Wario explained, "I met him one day when I was looking for a tennis partner."
"You're not brothers?" Reuben added his own two cents in, "Then why do you two look the same, huh?"
"The koala makes a good point." The crystal piped up.
"The answer is uh NONE OF YOUR-A-BUSINESS!" Said Wario.
"Move over, losers!" Waluigi shoved Penny & Reuben aside as he sat down.
"What a baby," Wario grumbled under his breath before the next speedboat arrived.
This boat dropped off a man with a long nose and hair tied up into a frizzy type of hairstyle. He also wore beige pants, a floppy hat, and some boots.
"You all better fear, for Captain Usopp has arrived!" Usopp announced to the three contestants. "Now to warn all of you, I have 5 thousand men who are all viscous and will eat your-"
"Yeah, yeah, Pinocchio! We get it!" Reuben interrupted. "You're a bad liar by the way."
Wario said, "Now get on the cruise already, Wario doesn't have all the time in the world for your fantasies."
"Aw man, I've got some tough cookies here." Usopp sighed in disappointment. "But I won't lag behind, I'm not the sniper king for nothing!"
"Yeah sure pal," Waluigi scoffed, "You don't have anywhere near the charisma I do!"
As Usopp got on board, he faced Waluigi and said, "Hey I heard that! I'll have you know that I single handedly took down Doflamingo. Yeah, I made one of his minions faint, TWICE!"
Penny gulped before saying "Why do I feel like he's gonna regret saying that?"
Waluigi pushed his face against Usopp's while saying, "It's not about power, big nose, it's about talent. Sheer talent, in which Waluigi has plenty of!"
"Who're you calling big nose, big nose?" Usopp pushed his face back.
The next speedboat went by while the two big noses bickered, and dropped off a pink hedgehog who was wearing a red dress with red shoes.
"Hello everyone!" The hedgehog said in a cheerful tone, "The name's Amy Rose, and I hope we can all get along!"
"Hah!" Wario laughed, "Yeah, you're not gonna last a second out there, missy."
"Excuse me!?" Amy said in offense, "What is that supposed to mean?"
Wario picked his nose as he said, "Let's see, you're all chipper, happy, nice, and the nice ones always-a-finish last! Wahahahahaha-AHHHHHHH!"
Amy wacked Wario over the head with her hammer, before putting it away. "Sorry you all had to see that."
Amy hopped on the cruise, and saw Waluigi & Usopp still going at it with their arguing. She turned to Penny & Reuben.
"How long have they been doing this?" Amy asked.
"About….the same amount of time it took to make this sandwich." Reuben said as he pulled out another sandwich, "Ya want one?"
"I don't see why not." Amy responded.
The next speedboat dropped off a vampire with long hair wearing a sunhat and gloves as protection from the sunlight.
"What's popping everyone, I'm Marceline the Vampire Queen!" Marceline introduced herself.
Upon hearing those words, Usopp stopped his bickering, "V-v-VAMPIRE!? YOU MEAN THE BLOOD SUCKING TYPES!? WARIO YOU CAN'T BE SERIOUS!?"
"'Vampire Queen' sounds like something Ashley would get wrapped up in." Penny muttered to herself.
Marceline started grinning as she said, "What? Afraid that I might get hungry?"
She flew onto the ship, and hovered close to Usopp, "And be in the mood for some human blood!"
Marceline hissed while showing her sharp teeth, and Usopp screamed at the top of his lungs.
The vampire queen started laughing, "Man, no need to be such a wuss. Sure I drink blood sometimes, but it's not the blood itself I like, it's the color."
To prove her point, Marceline grabbed a tomato from Usopp's bag and bit into it. Suddenly, the tomato turned white, and she took it out of her mouth.
"See, nothing to be scared of." Marceline told the sniper as she handed the tomato back to him.
Waluigi started laughing his ass off, "Wow, big nose, you're as much of a scaredy cat as Luigi!"
"Shut up, you!" Usopp growled.
"Just don't suck the red out of my dress, okay." Amy said. "This is my favorite outfit too."
The next speedboat dropped off none other than Mickey Mouse? Wait, this wasn't Mickey, something about him seemed….off.
"OH BOYYYY!" This weird abomination screeched "I CAN'T WAIT TO GET FREEEEEEEEE MONNNNEEEEEEEEYYYYYYYYY!"
"Alright, I'll say it," Reuben said, "What is that thing!?"
Wario furrowed his eyebrows, "Hey! I wanted to get Mickey Mouse onto this-a-show!"
"BETCH!" "Mickey" pulled out a gun and immediately pointed it at Wario, "WHERE'S THE MONEY!"
Usopp & Reuben both immediately ducked behind Waluigi right as "Mickey" whipped his gun out.
"HUH!? DON'T-A-THROW ME UNDER THE BUS!" Waluigi exclaimed.
"I don't think vampire chick's the scariest person here now." Reuben said while hiding.
"WAH!? PUT THAT-A-GUN AWAY! YOU HAVE TO EARN THE MONEY YOU RAT!" Wario was sweating like bullets.
The crystal finally decided to pipe up while being in Wario's pocket, "You know, I seem to recall that when you wrote that letter to Mickey, you misspelled it as Mokey."
"Oh, you're-a-kidding me!" Wario yelled out, "You're-a-name wouldn't happen to be Mokey, right?"
"YEAH!" All of a sudden, Mokey's face turned to that of an anime character "Give me the moneys now!"
"You have to win the money, and I don't-a-feel like dying right now." Wario told Mokey.
"You don't feel like dying? That's not what I would expect to hear from someone who's life is at risk."
Mokey stared at Wario for a long ass time, until saying, "OH BOY! A GAAAAAAME? MOKEY LOVES GAAAMES!"
Mokey threw his gun right at Waluigi's head "OUCH", and got on the cruise. After he sat down, everyone else moved as far away from him as possible.
Usopp sighed as he said, "Well, we can only go up from here, right?"
"That's the spirit!" Penny said to him, "Besides, we can get that Mickey Mouse wannabe out of here soon."
Usopp really shouldn't have said what he did, because the next person to show up…was someone that he knew very well. A certain someone with a big pink feather coat, sunglasses, and short blonde hair.
"Well, sounds like the next guys been dropped off-AAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!" Usopp screamed so loud that everyone covered their ears.
"WHAT IS YOUR-A-PROBLEM, SCAREDY CAT!?" Wario shook his fist at said scaredy cat.
"NO! I'M IMAGINING THINGS….THAT CAN'T BE DOFLAMINGO STANDING RIGHT THERE!" Usopp pointed at Doflamingo, while the latter was glaring daggers at him.
"Oh…it's you." Doflamingo said as Usopp whimpered.
"Dofla-whathisface?" Reuben remarked, "Didn't ya say ya singlehandedly defeated him?"
Doflamingo's veins started showing on his forehead, "Oh, did you now, God Usopp?"
"D-d-d-d-Doffy! C'mon that was a while ago now," Usopp gulped. "There's no hard feelings right?"
"No, not at all," Doflamingo said through gritted teeth, right before he shot a ball of strings right at Usopp.
"AH!" Usopp yelped and immediately ducked.
The ball crashed right into the wall behind Usopp.
"HEY! PINKY, THAT-A-CRUISER ISN'T CHEAP!" Wario yelled in outrage. "Do you think I'm made of money?"
"Funny, you seemed pretty wealthy to me." The crystal remarked.
"I told you to be-a-quiet!" Wario swatted the crystal again.
"Oh well then, guess that's the price you have to pay for being so poor." The man in pink said, "and for allowing that coward onto your show."
Marceline whistled, "Talk about intense."
Penny then asked her boss, "Wario, sir, are you sure it's really a good idea to have that guy here…he seems pretty scary."
"YEAH! LISTEN TO HER!" Usopp yelled in response.
"Eh? How dangerous can some guy that dresses up as a flamingo be?" Wario said in indifference.
"VERY!"
"Don't worry about the long nose, yellow one," Doflamingo said to the host. "He's one that overreacts to every little thing."
"Whatever," Wario shrugged. "Just get on the boat."
The next boat to pass by dropped off a….taco? Yeah, a taco with arms and legs was dropped off at the dock.
"Ughhhhh!" The taco groaned. "I sure hope this show's at least better than the last one I was in."
Doflamingo started laughing, "A taco!? Seriously!? My competition is food, and this pathetic coward?" He then gestured to Usopp after saying that.
"Okay, and we're already off to a rocky start," The taco facepalmed. "Well, I didn't exactly get my hopes up. The name's Taco, by the way."
"Creative name." Waluigi snarked.
As Taco got on board, she quickly noticed the Mickey Mouse abomination sitting by himself.
"Uhhhhhh, hey, why are youuuu…" Taco paused, "I have a bad feeling about this."
"IS THAT FREEEEEEEE FOOOOOOOOD?" Mokey screamed, "DON'T MIND IF I DOOOOOOOO!"
Mokey then lunged after Taco, who quickly bolted. The next contestant dropped off was an anthropomorphic rabbit who was wearing a police uniform.
"WAH!? A COP!? HIDE ME, PENNY!" Wario ran onto the cruise.
"PENNY!? WHAT ABOUT WALUIIIIIGIIIII!?" Waluigi yelled in outrage.
"Uh, that was weird." The rabbit said in confusion before turning to the cast, "Hey all, I'm Judy Hopps. I hope we can all have some fun here and get along."
"So you won't arrest me?" Wario said before getting off the cruise and laughing, "Why didn't you-a-say so! Welcome aboard!"
Judy got on board, and saw Mokey grabbing Taco.
"YUMMMMY! TACO TUESDAY IS MY FAVORITE TIME OF WEEK!" Mokey said again.
"HELP! THIS GUY'S CRAZY!" Taco cried.
Judy then stepped in, "Put the taco down, mister! I am of ZPD and I will not hesitate to arrest you!"
"AAAAAAAAHHHHHHHH! NOT THE POLICE!" Mokey screamed in horror as he immediately put Taco down.
"Thanks rabbit lady," Taco said to Judy. "I'll take off now if you don't mind."
The next contestant was a blonde woman with long hair. She was also wearing some type of military outfit too.
"I assume this is my competition," The woman said before scoffing. "How disappointing, I would have expected better from people all across the universe."
"And who are you to say that, Olivia?" Wario picked his nose.
"That's Olivier Armstrong, and you will respect my name." Olivier said very sharply, "I expect your challenges to prove difficult, otherwise this show will be a waste of my time."
"Wow, what an ice queen," said Marceline. "I guess Simon will have to give up his title to her."
As Olivier got on board, Doflamingo piped up.
"Tch, military veteran I see." Doflamingo said to her.
"If you're trying to provoke me, it's not working." Olivier told the former warlord off.
Doflamingo chuckled before saying, "You're certainly a heartbreaker, miss officer, however those who cross me, are sure to regret it."
The next contestant to show up was a large and muscular man who was dressed in all green.
"Have no fear citizens, for I, Captain Qwark, have made it here at last!" Qwark announced, "and you are all very fortunate to be in my presence!"
"Get a load of this guy." Reuben said, pointing at Qwark.
"Ah, but what I am saying is true, strange koala creature." Qwark started bragging some more. "For I am the very intergalactic superhero that stopped the evil Dr. Nefarious from BLOWING UP THE MOON!"
"I have a feeling that didn't happen," Judy said in response.
"Man, this guys a worse storyteller than me," Usopp said to himself.
"Alright fine, I made up some details, but no one can match my bravery, my chivalry, my…."
"You are an absolute disgrace, and you should be ashamed to even refer to yourself as a hero!" Olivier interrupted.
"Oooooh-kay, how about we lighten up a little bit, Armstrong?" Judy tried to reason, "After all, this is a vacation on a luxury cruise."
"This is a game where only one of us will remain to get our prize," Olivier replied. "We can't afford to keep worms like that man around."
After Qwark boarded the ship, the next person to arrive was a suitcase?
"Hey! Who left this-a-suitcase here?" Wario grumbled before walking up to it. "Grrr, what is inside this-a-thing? Bricks?"
The suitcase flew open, knocking Wario back a little. A girl wearing a magician's outfit jumped out of the suitcase dramatically, before landing on the dock.
"And that, was my 'Let's stow away in Mr. Edgeworth's suitcase' trick!" The magician announced. "Surely I wowed my audience this time right, Mr. Hat?"
She pulled out a human sized puppet before saying, "Oh-hoh-hoh, that is very correct, Miss Trucy!"
"The name's Trucy Wright, and I'm the manager of the Wright Anything Agency!" Trucy introduced herself, "Nice to meet all of you!"
"Oh my gosh! That was amazing!" Amy gushed, "How were you able to fit into the suitcase like that!?"
"Even I must admit," Olivier said. "That was quite impressive."
"Hehe, a magician never reveals her secrets." Trucy bonked her head lightly.
"Just get on the ship before I take you off for that-a-stunt." Wario said in a very annoyed tone.
The next boat dropped off another girl, this time wearing a white shirt with black capri pants. This girl immediately went up to Wario.
"You must be that-a-Makoto girl, right? What do you want?" Wario said unenthusiastically.
"Don't play dumb, Wario," Makoto said sternly, "I've done my research on your practices. Especially that of refusing to pay your employees, what exactly is your game here?"
"Errrr," Wario trailed off before answering, "how about, IT'S-A-NONE OF YOUR BUSINESS OKAY!"
"I'll play along for now, Wario," Makoto told the host. "But I'm here on a personal mission. Don't think you're going to get away with this."
"Yeah, yeah, whatever." Wario said, feeling very unthreatened, "teenagers."
The next contestant, rather than coming in on a speedboat, flew down while on some type of floating star. He was pink and round, with red shoes. The puffball jumped off the star as it flew away.
"Hiiiiiiiii!" The puffball greeted everyone.
"Kirby!? What's that-a-pink blob doing here!?" Wario said in confusion.
"I take it you know this…thing?" The crystal asked.
"We've both been in Smash Bros," Wario answered.
"Are you implying the multiverse was already discovered before you found me?" The crystal sounded a little enraged.
"Awwwww, he's sooooo cute!" Amy ran over and started pinching Kirby's cheeks. "I could just eat this little guy up! Yes I could!"
Kirby pulled his head away from Amy, and then he noticed Taco. He was just staring for a few seconds.
"Uhhhhhh, this is getting awkward." Taco said, "Is there anything you need?"
"Poyo!" Kirby opened his mouth in an O shape and started trying to suck Taco in.
"Oh goddammit! Why does everyone want to eat me!" Taco grabbed onto the side of the ship.
Wario proceeded to pound Kirby over the head, "Don't you-a-go eating the other contestants! Do you even know the lawsuits I would have to-a-go through!"
"Wait, why didn't you step in when the rat was chasing me?" Taco asked.
Wario broke out into a cold sweat as he looked at the dead look in Mokey's eyes, "Er…uh…I must not have-a-noticed, wahahaha."
Taco frowned upon hearing this. Kirby & Amy got onto the ship before the sixteenth contestant arrived.
"Finally, it's about time I showed up!" A black duck said to Wario. "Everyone here better say their prayers, cuz I'm the clear winner here!"
"Yeah, that's what they all-a-say," Wario replied. "Get in line, Daffy."
"Well unlike those people," Daffy answered. "I have tons of experience in the spotlight! Duck Dodgers, The Scarlet Pumpernickel, Robin Hood, just everything you could think of-"
"Isn't this just what we needed," Taco groaned as she glared at Qwark, "Two narcissists."
"-I mean, why the hell wasn't I invited to that Multiversus game and that banana guy was!?" Daffy ranted.
"Wah, join the club-a-buster." Waluigi said in response.
"At least I'll finally get my respect when I win this whole game!" Daffy said as he got on the boat.
The seventeenth player was none other than a living teddy bear.
"Alright, here's the deal, pal." The teddy bear said to Wario, "I compete on this show, and you'll give me all the beer a bear could ask for?"
"Eh!? Who told you-a-that!? I'm not spending all of that-a-money!" Wario yelled at the bear, "Buy your own-a-booze!"
"Goddammit, John lied to me!" The bear yelled out. "I knew this was all a scheme to get me off the marijuana!
"Marijuana!?" Makoto said in surprise, "you really shouldn't be doing that you know."
"Oh and look at little miss prim & proper over there." The bear said to her, "what are you also the teacher's pet? The one to tell off all the students who just wanna smoke some weed? Yeah, I thought so!"
"Excuse me?" Makoto replied with her eyes widened.
"Yeah, I don't think this group could get any weirder," said Taco.
"The name's Ted, just so all of you know," Ted told everyone before he got on the ship.
Next up, was a bald man with a beard and glasses. He wore a black pork pie hat too.
"What the hell is this freak show?" The bald man said while looking at the contestants. "Have I gotten high off my own meth?"
"Please for the love of-" Makoto took a deep breath and then said to Wario, "You accepted a drug dealer into this show?"
"Yeah, I've gotta agree with Makoto here," Judy backed the student president up. "I have to object here. I'm sure you want to keep this show clean, Wario."
"Oh wow! And neither of you cared about the pink-a-psychopath over there!" Wario blurted out, "I'm sure he's done tons of crimes over the years!"
Makoto & Judy slowly turned towards Doflamingo. The latter just licked his lips after Wario said that.
"My name is Walter White," said Walter, "and please excuse what I said about the meth, I didn't mean to say that I was a drug dealer."
Makoto & Judy just looked at him with disbelieving looks. After Walter got onboard, Ted started bugging him.
"Hold up, did ya say you sell meth?" Ted said really excitedly. "How much will you take for i-"
"Beat it, bear." Walter replied really aggressively.
The next person was another teenage girl, except she had messy hair and a red skirt with a brown hoodie and a yellow shirt.
"Well, this is definitely a freak show if I've ever seen one." The messy-haired girl said.
"Welcome to the club, kid," Walter replied.
"Anyways, my name's Marcie." Marcie introduced herself, "This should be interesting."
As she got on the boat, Reuben could smell the scent coming off of Marcie.
"Why do you smell like hot dogs, four eyes?" Reuben asked.
Marcie sighed, "I hoped no one would notice, but yes, my dad and I shower in recycled water used for his hot dog business. It's how I got nicknamed Hot Dog Water."
Daffy roared in laughter, "HOT DOG WATER!? Man, that's a nickname that can stick! Hot Dog Water!"
"Gee thanks." Hot Dog Water rolled her eyes, "You all sure know how to make a girl feel welcome."
The final contestant to show up was a Pokemon trainer with shaggy purple hair and a blank expression on his face.
"I can't believe I got roped into this." The boy grumbled.
"Ah I see we've got a real edgelord here," said Wario. "Your name must be-a-Paul, right?"
"Tch, you're the host, and you didn't even bother to learn the challengers' names?" Paul said really grouchily.
"Hey, I'm a multimillionaire here!" Wario shook his fist, "I don't have-a-time to learn the names of unimportant-a-people."
"Whatever." Paul rolled his eyes as he got onto the ship.
As Paul got on, he immediately took notice of Kirby, and raised his eyebrows in confusion.
"What is that? Some kind of regional Jigglypuff variant?" Paul thought.
"Poyo?" Kirby tilted his head before Paul walked away.
"Alright, everyone's-a-FINALLY here!" Wario announced as he got on the ship. "Welcome all of you to Total Drama Gold! Or as I like to call it, Wario's Golden Game Show!"
"Isn't part of that total drama name already the name of a cartoon?" Makoto asked.
"Who asked you, you stick-in-the-mud?" Wario asked.
"It's as the bear says, miss prim & proper," Doflamingo added. "No need to be such a killjoy."
"No one needs to hear any advice from you!" Usopp argued with Doffy.
"Will all you losers shut up so I can explain the rules of the show to you?" Wario yelled out.
The Wario Cruiser took off, and started sailing as Wario pulled out a chalkboard.
"All of you chumps competing will be split off into two teams. Together, both of these teams will compete in my challenges, and the team that loses will have to vote off someone who will be the biggest loser of them all!"
"I don't know, Wario," said Penny. "This show feels like a lawsuit waiting to happen."
"Penny, Penny, Penny, always the jokester, WAHAHAHA!" Wario laughed in a very forced tone.
"YOU NEVER LAUGHED THAT-A-HARD AT MY JOKES!" Waluigi clenched his fists.
"BECAUSE YOU'RE ABOUT AS FUNNY AS MY FARTS, WALUIGI!" Wario exclaimed.
"Now that's just nasty." Reuben gagged a little, "way to make me lose my appetite."
"Now at some point in time," Wario told the cast. "There will be a merge, where there won't be any more teams, and everyone will have to fend for themselves. The last one standing will win the…the…theeeeee…."
"Don't strain yourself, your brain might explode from having too much thought in it." The crystal added its own two cents.
"ONE-MILLION DOLLARS!" Wario choked out. "Now my interns will show you around the cruise because I don't-a-feel like it."
"Isn't that just smooth." Marceline said.
"At least he's honest, I guess," Judy told Marceline.
Two interns showed up after Wario dipped. One was a man with a blue afro and a red jacket, while the other one was a redhead woman who was wearing a red dress with a white coat.
"Yo yo! What's hangin everyone, the name's Jimmy T.!" The man with the afro said.
"And my name's Mona, and it looks like we'll be your tour guides." Said the woman in the coat.
"ARE YOU GUYS GONNA GIVE ME THE MONNNEYS?" Mokey asked.
"Were you even listening to Wario when he was explaining the game?" Taco said in annoyance.
"THIS IS BULLSHIT! WHEN DO I GET THE MONEY?"
Taco facepalmed while Mona & Jimmy looked at each other. The duo looked back at the cast.
"I see you're all a lively bunch," said Mona. "But enough stalling, let's get to the tour!"
"This is the cafeteria," said Jimmy, "This is where you're gonna get the food of your dreams yo!"
"Seems like a stretch," Usopp remarked.
At the cafeteria counter, was a yellow kitchen sponge wearing brown pants.
"You must be the contestants Mr. Wario was talking about!" The sponge said, "I'm SpongeBob SquarePants, and I will serve you all up with smiles."
SpongeBob gave everyone a goofy smile.
"How sickeningly positive," Olivier said under her breath.
"I don't think I've ever seen you around WarioWare Inc. before," Mona said to SpongeBob. "Are you new? My name is Mona by the way."
"Nice to meet you, Mona!" SpongeBob replied, "Mr. Krabs bet me in a poker game with Mr. Wario and lost, so here I am."
"From what Wario told me," Jimmy told Mona. "The sponge kid was in tears being taken away from that crab guy."
"Don't worry, Jimmy," SpongeBob reassured the dancer. "I feel all better now, Mr. Wario taxes me for existing just like Mr. Krabs did!" SpongeBob gushed as he said that.
"For existing!?" Judy exclaimed, "That's not even legal!"
"Now moving on…." Mona said to continue the tour.
"This is the pool," Mona told everyone as they went inside the pool room.
The room had orange stripes all over the ceiling and around the walls. The pool itself was very big and there was a hot tub next to it. Mokey immediately ran up to the pool and did a cannonball, which had a surprisingly large splashback. The water ended up completely drenching Daffy who was standing too close to the edge.
While being completely soaked, Daffy said, "You're desssssspicable!"
"OHHHHH BOY OOOH BOYYY! SPLISHY SPLASH!" Mokey screamed more incomprehensible sentences.
"Man, I could get used to that hot tub," Ted commented.
"I'd bet Polly's glad not to be here," Trucy also noted.
"Polly?" Makoto asked.
"Just a friend of mine," said Trucy. "He moved to another country a year ago and I miss him."
After Mona & Jimmy showed the contestants around the other rooms of the cruise, such as the spa, the game room, the theater, and the outside garden, all the guests were brought to their bedrooms.
"Finally, these are the rooms you will all be staying in, Orbulon will come and give you your room keys soon." Mona told everyone.
"Hopefully, all of you had a slamming good time with this tour," Jimmy said before striking a pose. "Ou! Jimmy T. out!"
Jimmy moonwalked his way out of the lobby, while Mona turned to everyone else.
"Yeah, I'd better be going too. But you can all wait in the main lobby while Orbulon gives you your keys."

Jimmy was now inside of a random broom closet in the cruiser.
Jimmy: By the by, this is the confessional. Here you can share any thought you want without worry of anyone hearing you.
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Doflamingo: My, who would have thought that Usopp the God would be participating on this show too. No matter, I've only come for one thing, to show the universe my true power and CRUSH MY COMPETITION!
Doffy then stayed silent for a moment before saying…
Doflamingo: And Wario offered to break me out of Impel Down if I competed and I couldn't refuse that offer.
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Taco: This sure is different from BFB, but nonetheless, I will do my best to win this thing. I hope I get treated better here, but considering I almost got eaten twice, I doubt it.
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Mokey: I JUST CAN'T WAIT FOR KRIIIIIIIIIIIIMAAAAAAAAAAAAAS!
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
This certainly was a luxury cruise alright, the lobby had a high ceiling with a chandelier hanging down from it. There was an orange tone emanating from the room, and there were chairs that were very cushiony and very soft.
"I don't understand," Waluigi thought to himself. "Since when does Wario have such a thing for the color orange? Wait, is this-a-Daisy's cruise ship?"
Waluigi laughed to himself, "She's-a-gonna kill him!"
All of a sudden, someone tripped right over Waluigi's foot. That person was none other than Usopp.
"Hey big nose! Will you keep your legs to yourself?" Usopp scolded Waluigi.
"Wah? I wasn't even-a-trying to do that!" Waluigi laughed at the sniper. "Maybe you should look where you're going, long nose!"
"Why you!" Usopp tackled Waluigi as the two got enveloped in one of those cartoon fight cloud things.
Paul walked by right as that was happening, "Idiots."
Penny & Amy were talking at another nearby spot.
"So you're an inventor too?" Amy said, "you and Tails would get along so well!"
"Yeah, unfortunately my inventions have a habit of going haywire," Penny said in slight embarrassment. "But that doesn't stop me from trying again! I could always show you one of my inventions sometime."
"I would love to see one of them," Amy replied. "So, what made you sign up for the show?"
Penny broke out in a cold sweat as Amy said that, "Oh…uh…you know….I n-needed the money for my inventions. No big deal, what about you?"
"I joined to get some more adventure in my life. These past months have been so hectic for me, so why not get it out of my system by taking on these challenges? Surely they can't be worse than dealing with Eggman every week."
Penny & Amy talked some more, until a white alien with sunglasses teleported into the room.
"Greetings earthlings, I am Orbulon," Orbulon spoke out. "And I have arrived with your keys!"
As nighttime approached and everyone went to bed, Wario & Penny met up in a hidden office. The office itself was pretty dark with a singular lamp and the vortex crystal lighting the room up. The office itself had Wario merchandising everywhere, from posters, to action figures, to even the desk having a big "W" in the center of it.
"Good acting, Penny! Those saps don't suspect a thing, WAHAHAHAHAHAHAAAAAAAA!" Wario cackled.
"Don't suspect what exactly?" The crystal asked.
"ACK! You sure know how to butt in, don't you!" Wario grumbled, "Well, you see, I am NOT giving any of those chumps 1 million dollars! I am a businessman first and foremost, therefore, I will keep the 1 million dollars AND get money from the show's ratings!"
"Wario, that is absolutely diabolical." The crystal said in amazement, "maybe you aren't so stupid after all! But wait, how are you going to make it believable to not be a scam?"
"Hah! But as you-a-see, that is why Penny's competing!" Wario gestured to her, "She will compete and win the entire show. Then the prize money she wins will be transferred right over to me! The only reason I didn't get Waluigi is because I know he would screw everything up somehow."
"Mr. Wario, I can't do this!" Penny said, "I'd rather win based on my own skills then just have it all rigged for me."
"Sounds like someone's-a-begging for a salary cut!" Wario threatened.
"AH! Okay…I'll do it…but I still don't like it," Penny frowned.
"That's the spirit! Now go knock 'em out!" Wario banged his fist lightly on his desk, "Meeting dismissed, go get some-a-shut eye!"
Penny left, and Wario grabbed the crystal and left the office too. The latter went to his room, and went to bed.
"Looks like I'll just have to play the long game. There is no rush though." The crystal said to itself.
Notes:
Alright, I finally finished the first chapter, this took a long time to finish between having college and everything. But I think I'm happy with how this turned out. I tried to get the characters to be as much in character as I could get them to be, and I hope that I succeededin that. You can still suggest challenges and all that if you want though. Special thanks to that random guest on ff net that suggested this whole plot line with Penny, and see you all in the next episode/first challenge! Also special thanks to G-Man for the idea of Usopp & Waluigi bickering.
Chapter Text
Long ago, in the Mushroom Kingdom, lived the witch, Merla, in a lone forest. Merla was a hidden figure in some light blue robes, and all you could see from her hood were two glowing yellow eyes and a purple hair curl sticking out of it. She also wore purple shoes, and she was brewing a potion of some sort.
"Double, double toil and trouble; Fire burn and caldron bubble." Merla rhymed as she stirred the potion with her wooden spoon. "With this potion, those Toads will have to appreciate my skills as a witch! Heheheheheheeeee!"
Suddenly, the door burst open, "Stop right there! Wit-"
The crystal gasped as it regained consciousness. The room that it was in was none other than Wario's room. You could tell it was Wario's room as it was a complete mess. Clothes were all over the floor, there was half eaten garlic on the counter beside the bed, the bed was completely unkempt with Wario snoring loudly, and the place just reeked in terms of smell. It was very fortunate for the crystal that it couldn't smell the room. The early morning sunlight peeked through the curtain as Wario still snored.
"Good grief, that slob can snore so loud that I'd bet you could hear it all the way to the BeanBean Kingdom." The crystal complained.
A couple more hours passed, until an anthropomorphic dog and cat duo suddenly burst into the room.
"WARIO! IT'S TIME TO WAKE UP!" The dog yelled at the greedy rogue, "I AIN'T GETTIN' PAID ENOUGH FOR THIS!"
"Yeah!" The cat yelled, "quit being lazy, and GET UP!"
The cat slapped Wario multiple times until he finally woke up.
"HEY! WILL YOU TWO STOP-A-THAT!?" Wario outburst, "I SHOULD CUT BOTH OF YOUR-A-SALARIES FOR THAT!"
A certain detective in an unrelated location stopped in his tracks, "I don't know why, pal, but I just sensed a disturbance."
"Well excuuuuuuuuuuuse me, boss!" The cat responded, "but this next episode's scheduled to start in 5 MINUTES, YA LUG!"
"Eh?" Wario's eyelids fluttered, before suddenly they widened to the size of plates, "OH MY GOD! WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHH!"
Wario ran as fast as he could to the control room, a much more blueish room compared to the orange of the rest of the ship. In the front of the room, was someone manning the steering wheel. There was also a rather large control panel that the wheel was on too. In the control room, was a Toad wearing a black conductor hat and coat.
"Move over fungus! I need to get this-a-show started!" Wario ran over to the microphone, "WAKE UP ALL OF YOU LAZY GOOD FOR NOTHINGS! MY MONEY'S NOT GONNA MAKE ITSELF!"
Penny's eyes slowly opened, she rubbed her eyes and yawned as she woke up. After getting herself decent, she went out into the hallway. There were still noticeable circles under Penny's eyes though.
"Ugh, what's wrong with me?" Penny asked herself, "I'm really losing sleep over this?"
Penny walked down the hall some more, until she suddenly bumped into a certain magician.
"Whoops! Sorry about that." Penny apologized.
Trucy turned around, "Don't worry about it, it's all good, 'kay."
"Oh, you're Trucy, right?" Penny smiled.
"Wright's the name, don't wear it out!" Trucy bonked her hat, before saying, "and you must be Penny? It sure is nice to meet you."
"Nice to meet you too," Penny replied. "Are you on your way to the cafeteria? We could always go together."
After Makoto woke up, she immediately checked a group chat on her phone.
Futaba: Guys, the show started!
Ryuji: Whatd'ya know, looks like prez is going through with this plan.
Ann: I'm not too sure about this, it could be dangerous.
Makoto: Everyone, it's alright. I'm sure I'll be okay.
Yusuke: My, that ship you're staying on ignites my inspiration for an art piece. I must get to work on that immediately, I'll call it 'The Soul of the Sea'!"
Futaba: Yeesh, that's such a D-Tier name, Inari! Do better!
Makoto: Guys, focus. Have any of you found any more information about Wario?
Haru: Oh, Futaba-chan discovered this quite strange article about him.
Futaba: Apparently, he stole some Luxeville town's toilet last year, and he was able to get god-like powers from it by putting it on his head….? That's one weird final boss if I've ever heard of one.
Futaba posted the article about the "Wario Deluxe" incident in the chat after typing that.
Makoto: …
Ann: …
Ryuji: For real?
Makoto: Well…that's…different to say the least. Anything else?
Futaba: Nope, nada. Guess I'll just have to try hacking into one of that ship's computers or something.
Ryuji: By the by, Ren's been quiet as hell right now.
Futaba: He's been busy with something lately. He hasn't been telling me what exactly.
Ann: I hope he's doing alright, can't imagine the judgement he's facing with confessing to being a phantom thief and all that.
Makoto: It looks like the show's about to start again, I'll talk to you guys later.
Ryuji: Later, prez!
Walter slowly walked out of his room, and he quickly stuffed a plastic bag of…illegal substances into his pocket.
"This might come in handy." Walter thought to himself before leaving.
"What is that in your pocket?" The voice made Walter nearly jump. He turned around and saw a certain bunny cop.
"It's none of your goddamn business alright." Walter answered.
"You already have some guts admitting to being a drug dealer on national television," Judy told Heisenberg. "Let alone in front of an officer."
Walter scoffed, "I made a deal with the host himself that he wouldn't air this show in my universe. I have nothing to lose, and I sure as hell know that I'll have to keep an eye on you, miss cop."
"On the contrary, I think I'll be the one keeping an eye on you, Walter White." Judy replied. "How do you know Wario will keep his end of the bargain anyways."
Walter smirked, "I have some ties…see you around, piggy."
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Judy: This isn't over, Mr. White. I'll find out what you're up to, that I can promise.

At the cafeteria, SpongeBob was using the grill at the kitchen to attempt to make eggs, but when he tried, he just ended up putting the eggs in buns as if they were Krabby Patties.
SpongeBob sighed, "Well, guess you can't beat the classic Krabby Patty." He then laughed to himself before serving these egg burgers.
"An egg burger?" Taco said as SpongeBob served her one.
"Don't see what the point of the buns are," Hot Dog Water commented.
"Might as well dig in, I guess." Taco said before taking a bite. "What the…how!?"
"Is it okay?" Marcie asked.
"...this has no right to be as good as it is….." those were the only words Taco could say.
"What could be so good about this burger?" Hot Dog Water wondered, but before she could take a bite of her's,
"SPLAT!"
Mokey slapped the egg burger out of her hands and it went onto the ground.
"WHAT THE HELL!? WHY WOULD YOU DO THAT!?" Taco yelled at Mokey while Marcie just kinda stood there awkwardly.
"OHHHHHH BOYYYYYYY!" Mokey screeched, "THAT SHIT LOOKS NASTY AS FUUUUUCK!"
"Yeah, I think I'll just go sit somewhere else." Hot Dog Water walked away.
Mokey turned his head all the way around like an owl, and stared at Taco.
"OH NO, NOT AGAIN!" Taco ran for it.
After serving all of the burgers, SpongeBob was now completely absorbed by one of Usopp's tall tales.
"...and then I told Luffy to let me take care of it, and I managed to finish off Crocodile!"
"Wow, Captain Usopp, you truly do seem like an admirable captain!" SpongeBob said with his eyes wide.
"Yes, it truly takes a lot to run a crew consisting of 500 men," Usopp went on. "But it is all worth it!"
"Is it now, Captain?" Doflamingo spoke up.
"AHHH!" Usopp jumped and then started shaking, "Y-y-yeah…what's it to you…huh?"
"I'm sure you know that contract, don't you?" Doflamingo smiled sadistically at Usopp. "All you need to know is, I don't care what it says, there's always more room for kills!"
"C'mon, Captain Usopp!" SpongeBob said to Usopp, "Show that guy what you're made of! Don't take that lying down"
"Yeah…I'll…just do this trick called…" Usopp bolted out the cafeteria door as Doflamingo laughed.
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Usopp: Is that kid CRAZY!? Does he even KNOW what I had to go through back in Dressrosa? I'm gonna be lucky if I come back alive at this rate.
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
"How pathetic that he's got you idolising him." Doflamingo then said to SpongeBob.
SpongeBob laughed nervously before saying, "I'm sure this is part of some secret technique the captain's doing, he'll be back any second."
SpongeBob then bolted too, and ran to the dock outside the cruise ship. There, he found Wario relaxing while drinking from a coconut while wearing sunglasses.
"Hey, Mr. Wario!" SpongeBob walked up to the greedy man.
"What do you want, sponge kid?" Wario asked rudely.
"Well, I have so many questions right now," SpongeBob then proceeded to ask them rapidly, "HOWLONGHAVEYOUKNOWNMRKRABS? AREYOUASSWEATYASMRKRABS? CANIDRIVETHESHIPSOMEDAY? CANICANICANI? FORGETIT, DOYOU-" Wario shut SpongeBob's mouth by grabbing it.
"Wario doesn't have-a-time for your-a-questions! Go bug someone else!" Wario layed back down and pulled out a dollar to admire in the sunlight.
"Ah yes, Wario's-a-one millionth dollar!"
"Mr. Wario?"
"My greatest achievement yet!
"Mr. Wario!?"
"No other dollar will even come-a-close to being more-a-valuable than this dollar!"
"MR. WARIO!"
"WILL YOU SHUT UP!" Wario turned around to yell at SpongeBob, but the former failed to notice a GIANT CHEEP CHOMP flying through the air!
"WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!" Wario screamed
The Cheep Chomp ATE Wario's one millionth dollar and landed in the water. It swam all the way to a nearby island. Wario & SpongeBob just stood there for a whole minute with their jaws wide open.
"Mr. Wario?" SpongeBob said, "You're looking as sweaty as Mr. Krabs right now."
"Did that-a-fish….just eat….
…..
…..
…..
…..
…..
…..
…..
…..
…..
…..
…..
…..
…..
…..
MY ONE MILLIONTH-A-DOLLAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAR!" Wario's voice echoed all throughout the cruise ship.
"Wow, small world isn't it!" Trucy said in excitement, "Didn't think I'd meet a fellow performer! We should collaborate one day!"
"Sounds like an amazing idea, Trucy!" Penny replied, "I've never had a concert before, it makes me so nervous thinking abou-"
Penny was cut off by Wario, "LAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAR!"
"Oh no!" Penny said with sudden seriousness.
"Huh? What's oh no?" Trucy asked.
"It's sounding like Wario lost his one-millionth dollar."
Waluigi was stuck sitting next to Qwark, who kept trying to give people his autograph.
"C'mon purple guy, surely you'd be honored to have an autograph from such a wonderful man like me!" Qwark tried to hand Waluigi another autograph.
"I already told you, spandex boy! Waluigi doesn't need ANYONE'S-a-autograph! So just beat it!" Waluigi snapped.
Qwark then shrugged, "Guess I'll shoot my shot with another competitor."
"MILLIONTH-A-DOLLAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAR!"
"Egads, is an animal dying here?" Qwark wondered.
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Waluigi: Wah-hah-hah! Sounds like somebody lost his one millionth-a-dollar. Not that I have anything to do with it.
Suddenly, some Cheep Cheep feed dropped out of Waluigi's pocket.
Waluigi: Waaaaaaaaaaa, you didn't-a-see anything!
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Wario called all the competitors out to the deck as soon as he could. Kirby was still eating a whole pile of the egg patties SpongeBob made, and Waluigi had a big grin on his face.
"WAH! Is everyone-a-here!?" Wario demanded.
"No need to be so pushy, dude," said Marceline. "You sound like someone killed your grandma."
"THEY MIGHT AS WELL-A-HAVE! THIS IS AN EMERGENCY!" Wario exclaimed.
"An emergency!?" Amy replied in concern, "what could have happened?"
"Some oversized fish ate my one-millionth dollar! And that will be your-a-first challenge! To go to that island over there and get my one-millionth dollar back!" Wario explained.
"That's your definition of an emergency?" The crystal snarked. "From the way you were screaming, I thought your dog was murdered or something."
"Shut up, you!" Wario turned around and saw the crystal, "How did you even-a-get here!"
"I am capable of teleporting, you know." The crystal said in response.
"Then why didn't you-a-teleport out of the pyramid?" Wario asked.
"The pyramid was specifically made so that I couldn't use my powers in it." The crystal explained. "And my powers are still very limited as of now."
"Is it just me, or is that a talking crystal?" Makoto said in shock.
"I think you're forgetting something, Wario." Taco told the host.
"WHAT!? WHAT COULD I BE-A-MISSING!?"
"The teams, dummy! We still haven't been put on any teams!"
"Oh…" Wario said in response, "Whatever! I'll just let one of my interns decide. Dribble, Spitz, you two come over here!"
The dog and cat duo from earlier walked in.
"Whatd'ya need Wario?" The dog, Dribble, asked.
"Figure out what teams these chumps will be on, and do it-a-fast!" Wario commanded.
"Too lazy to do it yourself, ya lug?" Spitz, the cat, said to his boss.
"No! Wario is just-a-very busy is all!" Wario answered.
"Yeah right, probably too busy taking money baths." The crystal remarked.
"Alright ya palookas," Spitz pulled out a bunch of cards. "These are some playing cards I got from a dollar store! Some have a mushroom on them and some have a fire flower."
"Yeah, we'll call the first team, 'Team Mushroom' and the other team, 'Team Flower'." Dribble explained.
"TEAM FLOWER!? WHO THE FUCK WOULD WANNA BE NAMED TEAM FLOWER, BETCH!" Mokey asked.
"Seriously!? Mushroom? Flower? Those aren't good enough names for someone as high caliber as I!" Daffy added.
"We get it, duck! You've got your head far up your own ass." Walter told Daffy off, "these team names look like shit that I'd cook."
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Walter: Damn cartoon characters, with their over the top personalities and shit.
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
"SHUT YOUR YAPS! YA WANTED TEAMS! YA GOT THEM, NO NEED TO BE SO FUSSY ABOUT THE STINKIN' TEAM NAMES!" Spitz yelled at Mokey and Daffy.
"Besides, I like the name Team Flower, as flowers are beautiful like me!" Qwark said in response to Daffy & Mokey's complaints.
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Daffy: Can that guy get any more up his own high horse? Thank God I am never that narcissistic!
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Olivier: Somebody needs to teach that man some discipline. He is reminding me of my brother as of now.
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Everyone grabbed a card, and organized themselves into groups depending on what card they got. Not everyone was happy with their arrangements however.
"OH GREAT! I'M STUCK WITH MISTER BIG NOSE!" Usopp yelled in annoyance.
"IT'S NOT A PICNIC BEING STUCK WITH YOU EITHER, PINOCCHIO!" Waluigi yelled back.
"Man, this is gonna get entertaining real fast with those big noses around." Ted commented.
"Hmph, not great, but not impressive either." Olivier said to her team, "You all better not disappoint me."
"Whatever you say, ice queen." Marceline replied.
Meanwhile with the other team, there were a few more people pleased.
"Great to be on the same team as you, Penny!" Trucy said to the inventor.
"Yeah! It'll be nice working with you, Trucy," said Penny.
"How 'bout I make you guys some sandwiches when this challenge is done?" Reuben asked, "y'know, for if we win."
"My, my, this may be quite the interesting team." Doflamingo surmised.
Daffy looked at Doflamingo and then at Mokey, "Great, I'm on the same team as these psychos."
Spitz then pulled out the same chalkboard Wario used earlier. The former wrote down the teams and everyone on them
Team Mushroom:
Judy
Olivier
Usopp
Waluigi
Ted
Marceline
Hot Dog Water
Qwark
Walter
Team Flower:
Paul
Reuben
Daffy

"Did you have to write 'Hot Dog Water'?" Marcie asked, "I have a name you know."
"Why do we only have nine members?" Ted asked in slight outrage, "what kind of rigged programming is this!"
"Huh? Could've sworn everyone grabbed a card." Dribble wondered.
"Poyo!" Everyone turned around after hearing that noise.
Kirby was now rubbing his belly after inhaling all of the egg patties.
"KID! WERE YOU EVEN PAYING ATTENTION TO WHAT WE WERE SAYING!?" Spitz startled Kirby with his yelling.
"Hey, it's all sorted out now, you guys at Team Mushroom get the marshmallow." Dribble concluded, "problem solved!"
Team Mushroom:
Judy

Ted
Marceline
Hot Dog Water

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Walter: What even is that thing? He'll be an early boot for sure I'll tell you, I don't even know if he understands what's going on.
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Usopp: Is it just me or did that puffball just eat all of those patties! Might I remind you that he had a whole mountain of them earlier! I can't believe I'm saying this, but his appetite might rival Luffy's.
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
"Alright, this is taking-a-too long!" Wario butted in. "Go find that Cheep Chomp and get my dollar back, already!"
The Wario Cruiser docked at the island that the Cheep Chomp swam off to. This island in particular had a whole jungle on it, with a bunch of trees forming some type of entrance to the island. There was a beach right where the ship was docked, and the cruiser activated the ramp so that the contestants could get on the island. But that didn't stop Mokey from just jumping off the ship and face planting into the sand. Once everyone else got off the ship, the two teams split up.
Few members of Team Mushroom walked through the depths of the jungle. Olivier cut through the vines that stood in the team's way, as Usopp, Waluigi, Marceline, & Hot Dog Water were right behind her.
"Man, this'll be a piece of cake." Usopp slightly bragged, "I spent two years in the jungle, I've got this down."
"I don't know," Marceline replied in a grim tone. "A tiger could jump out of nowhere at any moment, tear the skin right off of our bones and leave us to rot."
"WAH! WALUIGI'S TOO YOUNG TO DIE!" Waluigi exclaimed.
"OH, YOU HAVE JUST AS ACTIVE OF AN IMAGINATION AS ROBIN, I SEE!" Usopp scolded the vampire queen.
Marceline started laughing, "Man, you guys are way too easy to mess with! Hey Armstrong, I'll fly around and see if I can spot the fish from there."
"Sounds like a decent plan to me." Olivier said, "do what you need, private."
Marceline flew upwards, splitting up from the group. Olivier, Waluigi, Usopp, & Marcie continued. Usopp & Olivier both checked every bush they could find, while Waluigi just walked behind them doing nothing. Eventually, Olivier decided to confront the purple man.
"PRIVATE! I HAVE HAD QUITE ENOUGH OF YOU DOING NOTHING!" Olivier yelled, "either you help with our search, or you'll give me 100 push-ups! Which do you choose?"
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Olivier: If there's anything I won't tolerate, it's one of my allies being a nuisance.
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Usopp: Man, that lady is scary.
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
"WAH!? Lady who died and made you king?" Waluigi mocked.
"Don't test me," Olivier threatened. "You'll live to regret it if you do."
"You don't-a-scare me, ladyyyyyyyyy," Olivier glared at Waluigi hard before the latter said, "uh, I mean, of course I'll-a-help!"
Waluigi quickly got to work searching multiple trees and caves they passed by. Waluigi looked into some tall grass, and found a strange looking wing mark.
Waluigi yelled to the rest of his group, "Hey losers! I found something!"
The team stopped in their tracks and went to where Waluigi was. Marcie got on her knees and started investigating.
"Interesting, if this wing mark belongs to that fish that Wario described," Hot Dog Water said to her team, "then that confirms that it must have gone this way," she pointed towards an Eastern direction.
All of a sudden, Judy came running right towards the group. The rabbit stopped for a little bit to catch her breath.
"What seems to be the problem, ma'am?" Olivier asked Judy
"I don't know where Qwark & Kirby went." Judy answered. "They both vanished out of nowhere, and I've just been by myself this whole time!"
"Of course that buffon has run off." Olivier growled.
"WAH!? THOSE TWO ARE COMPLETELY-A-USELESS!" Waluigi exclaimed, "At least-a-big nose can give us some comic relief!"
"HOLD ON! WHAT ARE YOU IMPLYING, BIG NOSE?" Usopp glared at Waluigi. "Tell me how many years YOU spent in a jungle!"
"Wah, tell me how many years you've gone racing on Rainbow Road?" Waluigi pushed his face against Usopp's.
"How does that help!?" Usopp pushed back. "If anything you're the comic relief!"
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Waluigi: Who does-a-Pinocchio think he is!? I'll have you all at home know that driving on Rainbow Road is a very high achievement! Seriously, the risk of falling to your death on that-a-track is real high.
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
"Will you two stop fighting!" Marcie cut them off.
"Officer, how long have they been gone?" Olivier asked to get more information.
"Not too long ago, surely they can't have gotten into too much trouble." Judy told Armstrong.
Qwark was currently tied up to a pillar of a golden temple, as a bunch of monkeys were cheering for his potential demise. A fire roared through the center of the temple's floor.
"Uhhhh, nice monkeys," He attempted to smooth talk them. "You must have the wrong guy, I mean, I've never been here after all."
One of the monkeys showed Qwark a picture of him being in the jungle without his team.
Qwark gulped, "Alright fine, you've got me, I've been here before. But what could I have possibly done to warrant this?"
One of the monkeys started cussing the intergalactic superhero out in monkey screeches.
"Ah…quite the protective one I see," He replied, "However, it was Mating Season, how was I supposed to know she was your cousin?"
A giant monkey tore the pillar off the ground and attached it to a barbecue set. This set was above the fire, and Qwark was now frantically thinking of ways to get out of his situation.
"Ah c'mon, you don't wanna eat me." Qwark said as the pillar began to rotate over the fire, "Honest, I hear humans taste terrible!"
Penny, Daffy, Paul, Amy, & Reuben all walked through another part of the island. There were less vines, and more wildlife all around the area. Penny was in front of the group, scanning where the Cheep Chomp could be with an invention she built. Daffy was complaining rather loudly as he and his team were traversing the jungle.
"Oh yes! Just how are we supposed to find a fish in THIS forest?" Daffy asked, "it's hopeless, I say! Completely and utterly hopeless!"
"Will you shut up already," Paul said rudely to Daffy.
"No need to be so rude." Amy told Paul off before saying to Daffy, "and there's no need to be so negative. I'm sure Penny's got it all worked out."
"Man, this sure is a work out alright," Reuben panted before he just plopped down on his stomach. "You guys go on ahead, I'll just relax…maybe make a sandwich…"
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Paul: I can't believe I signed up for this show.
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
As Reuben rested and everyone else got further away, he heard a rustling sound in a nearby bush.
"Who's there!" Reuben started shaking slightly, "I-I'll have you know that I have this piece of French bread here, and I'm not afraid to use it!"
Doflamingo came out of that bush and started chuckling a little.
"Look at you, lazing around like a bum." Doflamingo laughed to himself slightly, "you'll be on your way out in no time at this rate."
"Oh, and what are ya trying to say, wisecracker?" Reuben stood up.
"Well, if you were to win the one million dollars," Doflamingo crouched down to be face to face with Experiment 625, "then think about it. You'd be able to buy all the sandwich ingredients you want. Hell, you'd be able to open your own shop, and it would be all because you decided to stop being such a worthless waste of oxygen."
Reuben was speechless as he then said, "Wait, why are you tellin' me this, pinky? Is this some kinda pep talk?"
"Because I want you to join me!" Doflamingo offered his hand, "and together, we'll take over this game!"
Reuben looked down, and lifted his hand slightly. He slowly grabbed Doflamingo's hand, and they shook on it, starting their alliance.
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Reuben: Alright Reuben, the guy is definitely a psychopath, and he definitely has committed murder of some kind before. Not to mention he has Pinocchio shaking in his boots all the time…
Reuben started sweating a little.
Reuben: I would much rather th-that he keep me alive though!
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Doflamingo was laughing like a maniac.
Doflamingo: I knew that pathetic specimen would be easy to manipulate! Now I just need a few more members, and this game will be in the palm of my hand.

Kirby was chasing a butterfly, then he tripped.
"Ohhhh, poyo." Kirby got up and looked around. "Pooooyooooooooo?"
Kirby scratched his head as he wondered where his new friends were. He walked around, and the puffball was currently in a much more open area of the jungle. There was much more tall grass, less trees were around, and the place was just very green. Suddenly, Kirby heard the cries of an animal nearby.
"Uuuuuuuuooooooorrrrrrggggghhhhhh!"
Kirby ran over to where that sound was coming from, and he found a Cheep Chomp. The thing was, that the fish got its wing tangled in some vines and it was squirming around. The Cheep Chomp looked at Kirby.
"Hiiiiiiii!" Kirby said to the fish.
"Fwee-fwee!" The Cheep Chomp gestured to its wing before Kirby looked at it.
"Poyo! Poyo!" Kirby said after looking at the wing for a few seconds.
Kirby smiled and raised his stub as the Cheep Chomp smiled.
Back at the Wario Cruiser, Dribble, Spitz, & SpongeBob had to endure Wario yelling orders at them to keep fishing for that Cheep Chomp.
"Man, I don't know what to say other than Wario's being a big baby," Dribble finally admitted.
"Don't disrespect Mr. Wario like that!" SpongeBob said in slight offense, "he's clearly going through a hard time right now."
"Or, he's just going completely looney." Spitz said as the trio looked at how Wario was acting as of now.
"Wahahahahahahaaaaaaaa! I'm-a-not going to-a-REST until my one-millionth dollar…" Wario's eyes were now a yellow and purple swirl. "Heheheheheheeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!"
"Here, I have an idea." Spitz pulled out a dollar from his pocket. "Hey! Boss! We found your stupid dollar!"
"You did?" Wario jumped over to where Spitz was, "YOU DID! WAHAHAHAHA-HAAAAAAAA! I'LL HAVE TO RAISE ALL THREE OF YOUR-A-SALARIES BY ONE-A-PERCENT!"
"Wow, that worked?" Dribble said in slight shock.
Wario started rubbing the dollar against his face, and Dribble, Spitz, & SpongeBob sighed of relief. It was short lived relief though, as Wario's eyes flung open upon feeling the dollar against his face.
"Wait a minute, this isn't-a-my one millionth dollar!" Wario clenched his fist, crumpling the dollar. "This is an ordinary dollar that's-a-been crumpled up, torn slightly, soaked in A LAGOON, AND KISSED WITH CORAL BLUE NUMBER 2 SEMI-GLOSS-A-LIPSTICK!"
"Actually, Mr. K made this mistake too funny enough, but it's Coral Blue Number THREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!" SpongeBob was knocked on the head by Dribble's fist.
"I trusted you three, AND YOU GIVE ME-A-THIS!" Wario said in anger.
"Heheh, now, now, Wario," Spitz tried to reason. "You wouldn't want to do anything you'll regret…"
"Anything I'll regret…" The yellow and purple swirly eyes came back. "WahahahaHAHAHAHAHAHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!"
Trucy, Makoto, & Taco were getting very sick of Mokey's bullshit while Wario's interns were having a situation.
"C'MON TRACY! PULL A RABBIT OUT OF YOUR HAT FOR ME!" Mokey screamed.
"I told you, I pull things out of my magic panties! Get it right next time!" Trucy put her hands on her hips.
"Trucy, I'm sorry, but that sounds very wrong out of context." Makoto told the magician. "I'd suggest switching to the hat."
"Out of context? It sounds wrong IN context!" Taco argued before saying, "I think I see a river closeby."
It turned out Taco was right, as the quartet walked into a river with lush greenery and clear water. Cheep Cheeps swam in schools through the river.
"I don't know," Makoto said. "Doesn't seem likely that one of those fish would have Wario's dollar."
Trucy shrugged, "It's worth a try, though."
What the girls failed to notice as they started fishing for the Cheep Chomp, was the fact that Mokey had run off somewhere.
Walter & Ted were running from a bear that Ted had pissed off by accident.
"WHY THE FUCK WOULD YOU DO THAT, BEAR!?" Walter yelled. "God, I'm too old for this shit!"
"LOOK OKAY! I JUST WANTED TO SEE IF MAMA BEAR WOULD BE WANTIN' TO SNUGGLE WITH BABY BEAR! IS THAT TOO MUCH TO ASK?" Ted replied.
Walter saw a split path, and was able to think of an idea.
"Look bear, I have an idea," Walter said quietly to Ted. "When we get closer to that path over there, just dive into those bushes."
"Ah-hah, I see you're a smart cookie huh, Waltie." Ted replied.
"Waltie!? What kind of nickname is that!?" Walter said before diving right into the bushes.
The mama bear slowed down upon reaching the split path. She sniffed around for a little while, before wandering off. While in the bushes, Walter was wheezing and coughing pretty heavily.
"Damn, I'm in no shape for all this running around." Walter coughed some more.
"That's the last time I try to woo any sugar mama bears," Ted wiped the non-existent sweat from his forehead.
Suddenly, the duo heard some horrible screaming noise. They peeked from out of the bushes and found an all too familiar face.
"SAAAAAAAAANNNNNTAAAAAA! WHEEEEEERE ARRRRRRE YOOOOOOOOOOUUUUUUU!" Mokey called out.
Walter grinned as he reached into his pocket. Ted saw this and shockingly was able to catch on.
"Waltie, no! The last thing that that guy needs is meth. He's already crazy, man!" Ted said frantically. "Also where the hell did that come from and where's mine?"
"Just trust me, bear." Walter got out of the bushes and walked up to Mokey.
"WHAT THE FU-," Mokey said in confusion. "YOU'RE NOT SANTA!"
"You're right, I'm even better." Walter tossed the meth to Mokey, "I'm one of the best meth cooks around, and I've got a little something for you."
"MEEEEEEEETH?" Mokey asked before saying, "BUT THE METH IS BAD! IT'S VERY VERY BAD!"
Walter laughed before saying, "Are you at your age still doing what your mother tells you to? I think it's time you make your own decisions little man."
Before Mokey could mull it over more, Ted rushed in and grabbed the meth.
"Or how about you get a taste right now!" Ted threw the meth right at Mokey's face.
Walter's mouth was agape when Ted did that, and the substance was all over Mokey.
"Yeah, whatd'ya think?" Ted asked White. "You can thank me later."
"..." Mokey was silent until he gasped, "AAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!"
Ted & Walter looked at each other, and quickly booked it.
"WWWWWWOOOOOOOOOOOOOWWWWWWWWW! OHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH! AHHHHHHHHHHHHH! OOOOOOOOOOOOHHHHHHHHH! NO! NO! NO! NO! WWWWWWWWWOOOOOOOOOOWWWWWWW!"
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Walter: Trust me, I have a plan there.
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Kirby was riding the Cheep Chomp through a river as the two talked to each other in their…unique…languages.
"Poyo, poyo!"
"Fweet fwee!"
Unfortunately this would be cut short as they bumped into the edge of the very same coast that Makoto, Trucy, & Taco were on.
"Okay, that HAS to be the fish Wario was talking about!" Taco concluded.
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Taco: Seriously, what are the chances we would just run into that thing? Weird huh.
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
"Hi!" Kirby said to the trio.
"Hello Kirrrrrrby." Trucy gave the puffball an evil smile. "How about you give us that fish, and then we'll be best friends, 'kay?"
Kirby's eyes went wide as he told the Cheep Chomp to book it.
"GET BACK HERE!" Taco yelled as she and Trucy started chasing Kirby.
The Cheep Chomp swam as fast as it could, dodging multiple barrels and logs that were in the way. Then, the duo reached a waterfall. Kirby's eyes went wide again before he and the fish fell right off of it. Taco, Trucy, & Makoto finally caught up.
"Uhhhh…you don't think Kirby could've…" Trucy bit her lip in worry.
"Damn, I didn't mean to come off as so…you know." Taco looked down slightly.
The guilt was short lived though, as they heard a crashing noise. The trio looked down and way at the bottom of the waterfall was a temple that looked near ancient. Said temple had monkey arms for pillars, a giant stone banana on the roof, and a monkey tail decorating the edges of the building.
"Well, that looks interesting," said Makoto.
"Looks like this is the end of the great and mighty Captain Qwark." Qwark lamented as the monkeys were chanting for his death. "Just let it be known that I am definitely not Steve McQwark and my last wish..."
Suddenly, Kirby & the Cheep Chomp came crashing through the ceiling! The monkeys all screeched in horror as they all ran away. The Cheep Chomp rammed right into the remaining monkeys left, and destroyed the pillar Qwark was tied to. Qwark dramatically flexed as he broke free from his restraints.
"Last wish? HAH! As if I would go down so easily!" Qwark ran after the rest of the monkeys and started punching his way through all of them. "Nice work, young piece of bubblegum! You earn a gold star from me."
Mokey was casually smoking his meth, until all of a sudden, a similar abomination to him came right out of nowhere and this one looked similar to Minnie Mouse and was named Momi.
"MOKEY!" Momi screamed, "WHAT ARE YOU DOOOOOING?"
"OHHHHHHHH BOOOOOOYYYYYYYYYY!" Mokey simply said.
"I AM GONNA CALL THE POLICE!" Momi whipped out her phone.
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Marceline: Where did that thing that looks like Mokey come from? I can't be the only one thinking about this.
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
"POLICE-" Momi's head suddenly got smashed in by Mokey. "...police…."
Kirby rammed into more of the monkeys with the Cheep Chomp, before a monkey pulled up with a banana gun. Kirby inhaled the banana gun before the monkey could shoot and got the Ranger ability. Ranger Kirby started shooting up all of the mammals with stars. Qwark was not too far behind, as he punched some more apes.
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Kirby just looked at the camera before inching closer to it. Soon, all that was on camera was the inside of Kirby's mouth, until everything went to static.
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
"WHO'S THE CLOWN NOW! HUH, YOU PLANET OF THE APES WANNABES?" Qwark boasted before hopping onto the Cheep Chomp.
Qwark shot his ray gun again, but it accidentally collided with another monkey shooting a ray at him. This caused an explosion that sent Kirby, Qwark, and the fish flying.
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Qwark: Just wait until the press hears about this story. "Captain Qwark and the Planet of the Apes," it'll fly right off the shelves, I guarantee!
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Marceline still flew around the forest in hopes of winning the challenge for her team.
"I'm about ready to call this quits." Marceline said to herself, "the fish obviously isn't here."
Suddenly, she heard a loud noise that sounded pretty quiet. Marceline looked behind herself and saw the fish flying from far away. The vampire queen started flying over there as fast as possible, but then she was stopped by an oversized crow swatting her. Marceline fell right to the ground before she coughed slightly.
"Honchkrow!" Honchkrow said.
"Don't count on getting to that fish." Paul told Marceline with a blank look on his face, "that is my catch."
Marceline got up, "Heh! I was afraid that this would be too easy. Well, show me what you've got, edgy-boy."
Olivier, Waluigi, Usopp, Hot Dog Water, & Judy were being surrounded by a bunch of giant Piranha Plants. The plants chomped at the quartet as they dodged, and shot fire at them.
"Special Attack, Green Star!" Usopp shot projectiles at the Piranha Plants that summoned other plant creatures to get tangled up with them. "That should hold those scary plants off."
Olivier sliced through other Piranha Plants with her sword, while Waluigi whacked one with a tennis racket. Judy also punched and kicked some of the plants. Marcie just stayed close to Usopp.
"Just where did these things come from?" Judy asked.
"They're-everywhere in the Mushroom Kingdom!" Waluigi told her, "they're really good for pranking people with."
"Well, fortunately for others, I wouldn't use carnivorous plants for pranks," said Judy.
"That's just because you're-a-no fun." Waluigi concluded.
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Hot Dog Water: Wow, in that situation…I really did just feel useless. I wouldn't say I'm much of a fighter.
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
In the distance, Hot Dog Water heard some yelling. She looked up and saw a giant fish zoom by.
"Funny how you're acting all cool and everything when you were about to wet yourself earlier!" Waluigi said to Usopp.
"They just took me by surprise is all!" Usopp told his rival off, "that's nothing compared to you screaming like a little kid when that first plant appeared."
"Men, this arguing is getting us nowhere!" Olivier stepped in. "Keep arguing and I'll have you mop the floors of the Wario Cruiser's restroom."
"I'm not sure if you'd be allowed to do that, but go off, sister." Marcie replied to Armstrong.
Marceline's guitar and Honchkrow's wing clashed, as the two were pushed back a little by the force. Honchkrow flew forward with its wing going darker than usual.
"Honchkrow, night slash!" Paul commanded.
"Hoooooonchkrow!" Honchkrow almost landed the attack, but Marceline dodged.
Marceline proceeded to slash Honchkrow in the back, doing sizable damage. Honchkrow turned around and then returned the attack with an Aerial Ace. Marceline was sent flying into a tree.
"Not bad," Marceline grinned. "But this fight's just getting started."
The vampire queen suddenly started transforming into a giant bat creature. Paul's eyebrows slightly raised before he shook it off.
"Honchkrow, shadow ball!" Paul commanded.
Honchkrow shot a shadow ball at Marceline, but the latter swatted the shadow ball away. She then grabbed Honchkrow and started crushing it.
"Urk…LET HIM GO!" Paul yelled at his opponent.
"Relax, I'm not gonna kill him, boy!" Marceline launched Honchkrow straight into the ground.
Paul returned Honchkrow, then said, "Guess you win this battle for now, but I won't be so rusty next time." He then jumped onto a tree branch and started hopping through them.
"That's what they all say, child." Marceline said menacingly before returning to her humanoid form.
Makoto & Taco were baffled by what they had just witnessed from the temple blowing up, and the Cheep Chomp being sent flying.
"What are we waiting for!?" Trucy asked, snapping Makoto & Taco out of their shocked states. "The other team's gonna win if Kirby's momentum keeps up."
"That's a good point, Trucy." Makoto admitted, "We need to act fast, team!"
The girls ran after the Cheep Chomp, until they bumped right into Mokey.
"Oh…Mokey…uh…I could've sworn you were with us…" Taco raised her eyebrows.
"OH BOY! OH BOY! OH BOY!"
"Uhhhh, I don't think Mokey's himself…right now…if you catch my drift," Trucy lowered her eyelids.
"Please excuse us, Mokey." Makoto told the rat, "but we need to catch up with Kirby, fast, so if you don't mind…"
"BETCH! ARE YOU GONNA CALL THE POLICE ON ME!? HUH!? HUH!111111!"
"W-what!?" Makoto said in a harsh whisper.
Mokey suddenly took out a gun, and aimed it at the trio.
"[ E! ! !]" Mokey said, sounding like a Jojo character for some reason.
"Yeah, I think this maniac is past reasoning!" Taco stated, "RUN FOR YOUR LIVES!"
Dribble, Spitz, & SpongeBob were tied up to a totem pole that had Cheep Cheep feed sprinkled all over it.
"YOU'RE CRAZY, WARIO! ARE YA TRYIN' TO KILL US!" Spitz yelled at Wario.
"YEAH, WE DON'T GET PAID ENOUGH FOR THIS!" Dribble added.
"Mr. Wario, this is A BIG MISTAKE! YOU CAN'T KILL US!" SpongeBob tried to reason. "WHAT ABOUT THE SHOW, THE CHILDREN WATCHING!?"
Wario wasn't paying attention as he was cackling like a witch.
"Come heeeeeeere, fishy fishy!" Wario rubbed his hands together.
"HEEEEEELP! HEEEEEEELLLLLP!" SpongeBob & Dribble both yelled.
All of a sudden, the Cheep Chomp, along with Kirby & Qwark, flopped right down onto the deck of the Wario Cruiser. It made a huge BANG noise as it did. The force was so great that the fish burped out a very slobbery dollar.
"That's-a-...THAT'S-A-IT! IT'S-A-MY ONE MILLIONTH DOLLAR! WAHAHAHAHAHAHAAAAAAAAAAA!" Wario took the dollar and started hugging it and stretching it across his bottom.
"Thank the stars," Dribble sighed in relief, before the Cheep Chomp jumped right for the pole.
"AAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!" Dribble, Spitz, & SpongeBob all screamed.
"POYO! POYO POYO, POYYYYO!" Kirby pointed at the fish with his stub and started scolding it.
The Cheep Chomp looked down in shame before landing back on the deck.
"Fweet fwee."
Kirby hugged it before the Cheep Chomp waved to Kirby and went back into the water.
"Bleh! How sappy." Wario commented, "well, at least that's-a-over. Guess this means Team Mushroom wins."
Wario grabbed the microphone and announced to everyone, "you all hear-a-that? Team Mushroom wins the challenge for today!"
"You hear that guys!" Usopp told his group after the Piranha Plants were defeated, "We did it!"
"What do you know," Waluigi commented. "Even with-a-long nose on our team, we won!"
Usopp growled before saying, "I'm too happy about the win right now to even bother with you, thin stache."
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Daffy: WHAT!? WHAT DO YOU MEAN I, OF ALL PEOPLE, LOST THE FIRST CHALLENGE!? Must be because of my team, yeah that's it.
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Taco: Well that sucks. Oh well…I sure do wonder who is getting eliminated first. It's not like a certain someone tried to kill some of us.
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Team Flower were now in another area of the cruise ship. Everything was all gray and dusty, and there was very little light in the room. Everyone sat down on some benches that were put into the room. Wario sat in front of them all, as he had a whole bunch of miniature golden statues
"Wahahahaha! Welcome-a-Team Flower to the elimination room!" Wario announced.
"This looks more like the storage room to me bud." Reuben pointed out.
"Wah-t-ever! The point is-a-one of you is going to be voted out of the whole-a-game." Wario told everyone, "and after you're-a-voted out, that's it! No second chansies! You're finished! All of you have voted and one of you will be the biggest CHUMP of the day. Everyone who is-a-safe will get a golden statue of-a-me."
"And the other team says that Qwark guy has the biggest ego," Taco said under her breath.
Wario then started listing the people who were safe;
"Amy."
"Penny."
"Doflawhatshisface…gah your-a-name is too long! Here's your statue!"
"Ruby."
"Reuben!" Reuben corrected.
"Whatever. Tracy…"
"Trucy!" Trucy also corrected.
"Robot girl."
"R-robot girl?" Makoto said in slight offense.
"And Daffy."
"See! Of course I would never be voted out!" Daffy boasted.
"Now it is-a-down to you three. Mokey, you're a completely cuckoo crazy and really annoying. Mr. Pokemon Trainer, you have proven yourself to be a big threat to other people, and taco person…I don't-a-know why you're here."
"Figures," said Taco.
"The next-a-person safe is…
…
…
…
…
…
…
…
…
…
…
…
…
…
…
…
…
…
Taco, and the last person safe is…
…
…
…
…
…
…
…
…
…
…
…
…
…
…
…
…
…
…
…
…Paul! Alright budget Mickey Mouse, you're-a-DONE!"
Mokey's jaw was wide open, "WHAT THE FU-! YOU BETCHES! YOU FUKIN' BETCHES!"
"Hey don't you go swearing like a sailor!" Wario yelled, "this is a family show after all!"
"FUCK YOU, FATASS!" Mokey gave Wario the middle finger.
Wario then pressed a red button on a wall that read "Trapdoor Activate".
"I'M GONNA KEEEEELLLL YOU ALL! KIIIIILLLLLLL!" Suddenly, the trap door opened from underneath Mokey, "AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!"
"Thank star spirits, THAT-a-guy is gone!" Wario sighed in relief.
"For once, I think I can agree with you." Makoto said to Wario.
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Taco, without hesitation, wrote down Mokey's name in a heartbeat. She just glared at the camera before it turned off.
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Paul: That crazy rat thing. Everyone else is pretty pathetic, but that rat is a pain in the neck.
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Mokey just stared at the camera for three minutes straight. He also apparently drew a picture of a taco.
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Doflamingo: That edgelord will only serve to be a threat later on in this game. Therefore, it is best to get rid of him early, that abomination called Mokey can wait.
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Votes Altogether;
Mokey: Trucy, Daffy, Makoto, Amy, Paul, Taco, Penny
Taco: Mokey
Paul: Reuben, Doflamingo
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
As Paul exited the storage room, he was about to go into his room. He suddenly heard some whispering noises being directed towards him.
"Pst…psssssst, over here!" Ted whispered pretty loudly.
Paul stopped in his tracks, as Ted gestured for the former to follow him. Paul coked an eyebrow up before following Ted out of sheer curiosity. Paul ended up being led to one of the bedrooms. Ted opened the door, revealing Walter & Hot Dog Water both being in the room too.
"What the hell is this about?" Paul asked rather bluntly. "If you're trying to sell me rare candies, I'm not interested."
Walter replied, "That's not why I invited you here at all, boy. You see, with winning one of these reality shows, we contestants need to team up sometimes. From what I've heard you were already pretty damn close to getting voted out."
"What does that have to do with anything?" Paul crossed his arms.
"It has to do with everything, young man." Walter replied with hints of false compassion, "But if you join me, then I'll make sure you don't end up inching that close again. With my help, I'll make sure all of you three make it to the merge."
Hot Dog Water was visibly twiddling her thumbs as well as slightly clenching her teeth.
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Hot Dog Water: So much is telling me that this is a bad idea. But considering how I can't fight or anything…this might be my only shot of winning the game.
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
"As if I need help, I'm perfectly fine working on my own." Paul told off Heisenberg.
"And get eliminated? Fine, then be my guess." White said dismissively.
Paul stopped before turning around.
"This…is only so I can stay in the game. Not because we're all buddy buddy now."
"That's the spirit, Pauly, ol'd buddy ol' pal!" Ted celebrated, contradicting the point Paul made. "Our evil alliance has been made! Now let's give it a name…oh! I know! Every Villain Is Lemons!"
"Way too on the nose, bear," White interjected. "We don't need a team name anyways. The point is that no one can know about this alliance, understood?"
"Yes sir!" Ted saluted while Paul & Marcie both ignored Walter.
Marcie just had a look of worry on her face as the deal was made.
20th: Mokey Mouse (Mokey's Show) [Team Flower]
Notes:
And that was the first challenge. Looking back, I wish I made this challenge more interesting, but I guess this is fine too. It also looks like Discord was right on their predictions of Mokey being the first boot. That was probably very obvious, but Mokey very much was the straight up joke character here. I basically picked him just because it was funny. I'll still consider challenge ideas if you have any and I'll see you all in the next chapter!
Chapter Text
WarioWare Inc.'s HQ was nothing more than a small building that was in between two stories and a street in Diamond City. This is usually a shock for most people in said city, considering WarioWare Inc. is fairly well-known for its microgames. One would think that the company would be large and much more flashy rather than a run-down shack. The building itself was pretty empty and locked up tight too since Wario was hosting his game show. However, a certain teenager with black curly hair approached the place.
"So this must be where that Wario guy's palace is," a cat named Morgana said as he popped his head out of the teen's bag.
"Seems that way," The teen, Ren Amamiya, replied.
Ren still remembered hearing the news about how Wario was hosting a reality show that was basically a knockoff of some Canadian cartoon, and the look he gave Futaba as she told him and the rest of the Phantom Thieves that.
"Wario!?" Ren asked with his voice slightly raised, "As in the character from Mario Kart!?"
"For real!?" Ryuji exclaimed.
"Yyyyy-ep!" Futaba answered bluntly. "Man this whole thing feels like some weird crossover fanfic. 'The Phantom Thieves facing off against a Mario character that's hosting a game show'. What's next, us going up against Light Yagami?"
Ren laughed, "Maybe in another universe."
"I wonder if there happens to be an alternative universe where I have more money." Yusuke wondered.
"As if, Inari," Futaba replied.
"Guys, we need to focus," said Makoto, "and I think I might have a plan…"
"It's so weird though," Morgana said out loud. "How could the MetaNav have come back when the Metaverse was destroyed?"
"I dunno," Ren answered. "Igor was pretty vague as always. Said it had something to do with that weird talking crystal."
Ren woke up in a room that looked slightly like a prison, however the doors were all open, the beds were a lot softer than before, and the velvet coloring of the room seemed a tad bit lighter. Before Ren would always wake up in a prisoner's uniform whenever he was in the Velvet Room, but at that time, he just woke up in his bedclothes. Waiting for Ren was a certain bald man with a long nose.
"I see you're awake, trickster." Igor said as Ren woke up.
Ren chuckled a little, "Man, sure brings back memories. Did this place go under renovation or something?"
"Ah, you've noticed," Igor replied. "As I said before, the Velvet Room reflects the state of your heart, and usually it only appears in one form for guests and doesn't change form if not for particularly odd circumstances. Before it appeared as a prison due to your status as a prisoner of fate, however it seems that due to your circumstances changing, that status no longer reflects the state of your heart."
"That's neat," Ren said plainly. "You didn't just bring me here to chat did you, though?"
"Always the observant one, trickster," Igor laughed a little. "You see, in another world, lies the Vortex Crystal. With that crystal, one is able to utilize its power to cross over to alternative dimensions. Most passed it off as a mere fairy tale in the universe it comes from…."
"Alternate dimensions?" Ren asked with his eyebrows raised, "You mean besides the Metaverse?"
"Yes, I do indeed," Igor answered. "Such as that fighting tournament another version of you took part in, for example."
"Weird," Ren said. "So you called me in here to tell me about some crystal?"
Igor sighed, "The unfortunate news is that the Vortex Crystal has fallen into the wrong hands. Someone out there is using its power for greed, and if it isn't stopped, then things might turn out for the worst."
"So you want us to change this guy's heart then?" Ren guessed.
"Exactly." Igor told the trickster.
"Are you sure Makoto's gonna be okay there?" Morgana asked Ren.
"She's tougher than she looks." Ren said, "I'm sure Makoto's got it handled."
Back at the Wario Cruiser, Qwark sure was getting it from Olivier.
"YOU'RE LUCKY THAT YOU JUST SO HAPPENED TO LAND ON THE SHIP IN TIME!" Olivier suplexed Qwark behind her. "WHERE IN THE WORLD WERE YOU AND WHY WOULD YOU RUN OFF LIKE THAT!"
"L-let me explain alright!" Qwark stuttered after he made a dent in the floor from being thrown. "You see, some monkeys thought they could take me on, and I managed to prove them wrong. They didn't abduct me or anything, I just thought they could bask in some of my glory."
"How does that excuse you nearly costing us the challenge?" Marceline asked.
"Hey now, when you're as famous as I am," Qwark tried to correct himself. "You'll meet some very ravenous fans. But fortunately I had it all handled."
"Poyo poyo poyo poyo!" Kirby interjected.
"Noooooooo, no no no no, I most certainly did not almost get barbecued by a mob of monkeys, and I absolutely did NOT mate with another monkey." Qwark said to Kirby, "you are quite the kidder, aren't you, Kirby?"
"The fuck do you mean another monkey!?" Walter asked in a horrified tone.
Olivier proceeded to back throw Qwark again, as Qwark landed face first into a wall.
"You will NOT start with your boasting again! I can't believe I'm saying this, but comparing you to my brother earlier is an insult to even him!" Olivier said with a lot of venom, "pull a stunt like that again, and you'll be the next to get eliminated!"
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Judy: Wow, Armstrong is reeeeeeeally ticked off right now. Remind me to never get on her bad side.
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Usopp: Yeah, Armstrong is gonna be an easy addition to the list of things that scare me.
Usopp then pulled out a looooooong list before he wrote Olivier's name in there.
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Judy tried to lighten up the situation, "Heeeeeey, Armstrong, it doesn't matter does it? We still won in the end, and Qwark diiiiiid win the challenge for us."
"And you don't have to be such a huge stick in the butt," Hot Dog Water told the sergeant bluntly.
"Really Marcie," Judy told the high schooler. "That was uncalled for."
Armstrong scoffed, "Fine, I'll admit, you did find that infernal fish. That much, I can give you credit for."
"Scary lady just gave someone a compliment?" Ted said in slight shock, "I must have taken too much marijuana again."
"We may have won this round," said Olivier. "But we need to strategize better if we're going to win the next challenge."
Walter then asked rudely, "Hey lady, who the hell decided to make you queen of the castle?"
Everyone's jaws dropped as Walter stared Olivier dead in the eyes.
"I beg your pardon, sir." Olivier glared at the drug dealer, "but do you know who I am, exactly?"
Walter scoffed, "Do you know who I am, ma'am? I'm Walter goddamn White, and I am not taking any sass from some lapdog of the military! As for strategies, as if I would be any short of that. I have a whole empire under my belt for crying out loud!"
Olivier gritted her teeth before Walter sat back down.
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Ted: Daaaaaaamn, Waltie sure has balls standing up to that chick.
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
"I respect the way you're willing to stand up to me," Oliver sighed. "But I will not let such insolence go unpunished in the future."
"Besides," said Waluigi. "I can always cheat us a win if times get-a-desperate."
"Yeah! Now that right there sounds like a good plan to me!" Ted backed Waluigi up.
"No no no! There will be no cheating, alright!" Judy quickly said.
"Cheating? You really are rotten aren't you, long chin," Usopp told Waluigi.
"Shut up, snowman! You wouldn't-a-know good strategy if it hit you in the-a-face!" The latter shook his fist at Usopp.
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Judy: *sighs* If only we could all just get along
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Meanwhile, Team Flower was in the cafeteria. Some were mourning their loss, but others…
"Thank God that psycho is FINALLY gone!" Taco poured some soda into a glass with Reuben & Trucy as all three gave cheers.
"Does this place seriously not have any of the good stuff!?" Doflamingo slammed his fist onto the table.
"Even if it did," Trucy replied. "I'm not old enough to drink yet."
SpongeBob laughed while at the counter, "Mr. Wario says we have to keep this show family friendly."
"Family….friendly?" Taco then said in confusion. "SpongeBob, Mokey was on meth yesterday! Like, literally, on meth!"
SpongeBob laughed again as he flipped a patty on the grill. "Oh, Taco, you're such a jokester. Why would we have such illegal substances on this ship? You were probably imagining things."
"No I could have…." Taco put her finger on her nonexistent chin before having the realization of, "Oh my go…"
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Taco: It was that drug dealer guy! He set us up! That cheater!
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Reuben tapped on Taco a few times.
"Earth to Taco! Hellooooooooo?" Reuben shook her, "sheesh, must be some deep thoughts she's havin'."
Penny sat alone at a table in the corner. Trucy looked behind herself, then turned towards Reuben & Taco.
"Hey guys, I need to go." Trucy told them, "my friend looks like she's not in a good mood."
"Alright, see ya later then." Reuben replied.
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Penny: Oh man, oh man, oh man! If I mess up as badly as I did yesterday, Wario will be sure to fire me! And so many people here seem so nice…what will they think if they find out the truth?
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
"You're-a-lucky that everyone on your-a-team wanted the rat gone!" Wario berated Penny through her phone, "or else I'd have to resort to-a-drastic measures."
"W-what do you mean drastic?" Penny asked before Wario hung up.
"Hi Penny!" Trucy made Penny jump before turning around.
"Oh…h-h-hi Trucy." Penny stuttered.
"Are you okay?" Trucy asked in slight concern, "you've just been sitting here all alone."
"I…I'm fine, honestly." Penny told her friend.
"She's sounding like Apollo right now," Trucy muttered to herself as she perceived Penny twirling a hair strand.
Trucy furrowed her eyebrows before telling Penny, "Alright, just checking, 'kay. Wanna join me and everyone else?"
"Y-yeah I would…" Penny sighed.
Back at the area where the rest of Team Flower was sitting, Amy was trying to lighten the mood for the people thinking about the loss.
"Sure we lost this time," said Amy. "But we can pick ourselves back up again! That was only the first challenge after all."
"Tch," Paul scoffed. "I don't want to hear any of that crap. We lost because most of this team is not even taking the game seriously, and we'll be bound to lose more if we keep certain people around."
Amy reeled back as those words were said to her. "That's not really fair. That fish was pretty hard to find. Everyone tried their best and…"
Paul interrupted, "That weird looking Pokemon over there," he pointed to Reuben, "spent most of the challenge taking a nap. Don't even get me started on the duck. Heck, the taco just spent most of the time wandering around with that magician and that other girl doing nothing. If that's the best everyone can do, then it's not good enough!"
Amy looked down before Makoto stepped in, "Oh, we just spent most of the time lollygagging? Then tell me, just what were you doing then if we were so useless?"
"Unlike you morons, I had a flying-type Pokemon to scout the area." Paul told Makoto, "and I got caught up in something."
"Something?" Makoto gave Paul the classic Niijima glare. "What 'something'?"
Paul wasn't intimidated as he told the persona user, "It's none of your business," before he walked out of the cafeteria.
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Daffy: Wow, what an asshole.
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Makoto: How bold of him to say it's none of my business when during the time he was doing his 'something', Taco, Trucy, & I were all getting chased by a deranged drug addict. So I'm sorry that I failed to find the fish due to that incident.
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Suddenly, Wario's voice appeared on the intercom.
"Attention, losers!" Wario announced. "Get to the deck right-a-now. I have very important news!"
"Important news?" Daffy asked, "Is he announcing me as the early winner?"
"Fat chance, duck." Reuben told him.
"Hey, a man can dream." Daffy said in defense.
"Alright everyone, this is-a-super important." Wario told the cast as they showed up.
"What? You found out I was the one that brought the Cheep Chomp here?" Waluigi asked before he immediately covered his mouth.
"...what…..did….you…..just….SAY!?" Wario's face was as red as a tomato.
"AHHHHHHHH! Uhhhhhhhh….I…uhhhhh….did I say that?….nooooo, what I really said was…." Waluigi was sweating bullets.
Wario jumped over and tackled Waluigi. Wario was full on beating the shit out of Waluigi as a dust cloud formed.
"AHHHHHHHHHH! WARIO! I'M-A-SOOOOORRRRRRYYYYYYYYYYY!"
"YOU BETTER BE!"
The dust cloud moved over to the inside of the cruise. Everyone was silent until the beatdown had finally stopped. Waluigi's head poked out of the door to the cruise.
"Whoever is the owner of the white-a-sedan," said Waluigi. "You left you're-a-lights on."
Waluigi walked out, and his head was shoved into a trumpet, with his head sticking out of the bell and his body coming out of the mouthpiece.
"buap buap buap buap buap buap buap BUUUUU-AAAAAAP!"
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Usopp was laughing so hard that tears were flooding out of his like waterfalls.
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
SpongeBob: Man, talk about deja vu.
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
"Oooooh-kay, I'm pretty sure that falls under domestic violence." Judy told Wario. "You could be done if Waluigi chooses to press charges."
"Wah? And call the police, no thank you!" Waluigi told the rabbit.
"Usually, I would guess that an important announcement would be urgent," Olivier spoke up. "However, knowing you…."
"Hey! This time, it's-a-reallllly important!" Wario hyped up this announcement.
"Ohhhhhh, what'll this challenge be!?" Amy wondered, "smashing robots? Acrobatics? A cooking contest?"
"Wario, why are we docked at Coconut Mall?" Penny suddenly asked.
Everyone stopped and looked at where the ship had anchored. In front of them was a large building that was an orange-ish peach type color with palm trees in front of it.
"You see….today is-a-MY BIRTHDAY!" Wario put on a birthday hat over his real hat as confetti rained down on the deck, "and this-a-challenge is to throw me the best birthday party ever! Both-a-teams will throw different parties and the one I like-a-more wins."
SpongeBob popped up out of nowhere to blow on one of those party blowers. Everyone just looked at Wario with blank stares.
"That's it?" Olivier asked. "That was what was so important? You want us TO THROW YOU A BIRTHDAY PARTY!?"
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Daffy: And to take me to the mall when I don't have my mall pants…
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
"Last time I went to a mall…Johnny really wrecked shit up." Ted reminisced.
"The reason I'm leaving you chumps at Coconut Mall is so you can shop around for presents, decorations, and most importantly the cake." Wario told everyone. "Now don't-a-dilly dally, get on with it!"
"Well, this isn't too exciting of a challenge," said Amy. "But shopping at the mall? Now that's right up my alley! We have this challenge in the bag, team!"
"Better hope so," Paul said under his breath.
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Doflamingo: That's it? How pathetic, and here I thought that this show would be a lot more difficult.
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
As everyone else left to go into the mall, Wario stopped Penny for a second.
"Wah! I managed to bribe the mall to give you everything for free." Wario told the singer, "don't say I don't do anything for you again. That bribe didn't-a-come cheap!"
Penny gulped.
As the cast all made their way towards Coconut Mall, they quickly realized that Wario failed to mention one detail. That detail was the fact that there was a long line outside the mall.
"WAH! What's-a-this!?" Waluigi asked in shock.
"Oh no," said Hot Dog Water, "don't tell me this is some kind of flash sale or something."
"Flash sale?" Usopp asked.
"You know Black Friday?" Amy asked, "these can be a little bit similar."
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Olivier: I've never heard of anything called 'Black Friday'. Is this how people in other universes pass their time?
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Trucy: Similar to Black Friday? Hehehehehehehehe! Now this is up my alley.
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Hot Dog Water groaned, "This is gonna be insufferable."
"I have little time for such nonsense." Doflamingo shoved his way through the group.
Doflamingo walked up to the back of the line and kicked a random goomba in the rear.
"Hey man! What gives?" The goomba blurted out to the former warlord.
"Do you even know who I am, fungus?" Doflamingo's veins started popping from his forehead.
"A weird dude that is dressed like some kinda bird? Yeah, that's who you are! What? Are you a birdbrain or something?" The random goomba started laughing as Doflamingo was in full vein popping mode.
Mingo immediately stomped on the goomba without hesitation.
"...ouch…." the goomba uttered.
"Out of the way!" Doflamingo shoved past the next person in line. This would turn out to be a big mistake.
"Hey! He just cut in line!" Some random Koopa Paratroopa yelled out before all Hell broke loose.
All of a sudden, the line was in complete chaos. Everyone was now shoving past each other and running straight into the mall. Doffy ended up getting his coat dirty from the dust everyone was kicking up.
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Doflamingo: The temptation to break that damned no killing rule….
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Usopp: Nice going, Mingo.
Doflamingo suddenly appeared outside the broom closet
Doflamingo: Oh what was that great mighty God?
Usopp: EEEEEEEK! N-n-nothing!
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
"Guess that's one way to get in." Taco commented.
"Hell yeah! Let's break this joint!" Ted ran into the mall.
Walter called out, "Get back here, bear! We still-" but it was too late since Ted was already gone.
"I suppose it would be a wise idea to go our separate ways for this challenge as well." Olivier said to her team, "I'll be keeping an eye on this buffoon however." She dragged Qwark by the arm as she said that.
"I see what you're doing here." Qwark told Olivier, "you just don't want anyone else to spend time with such an amazing hero as I."
"Keep up with that behavior and I'll suplex you again." Olivier said aggressively.
As the cast went inside, it looked like a zoo. People were punching the daylights out of each other, other civilians were pouring bottles of soda on themselves, the windows in some of the buildings were cracked wide open, and there was even a fire in one store.
"...okay…..I can definitely see how….sane….this world is….." Makoto said with her eyes wide.
"Is it too late to go to a different mall?" Hot Dog Water asked.
Amy laughed a little, "This is nothing to me! I've gone shopping in much crazier landscapes!"
Trucy was also rubbing her hands together with a grin on her face, "It's time for a shopping trip everyone!"
Trucy did an evil laugh as she ran right into the mall.
"Trucy, this isn't-," Makoto was about to say before saying. "And she isn't listening."
"POYO!" Kirby ran right up the escalator to go straight to the food court.
The cast then all split up to search for presents, decorations, and all that birthday stuff.
Walter, Paul, & Marcie all grouped together once everyone else was gone.
"Damnit, where the hell could the bear have gone?" Walter spat out.
"Why did you even recruit that thing anyways?" Paul asked.
"The more the merrier, kid." Walter answered, "The more the merrier."
"What is our strategy anyways?" Marcie asked the bald man, "With us being in an alliance and all that, I would think you'd have something planned."
Walter smirked, "You see, girl, my plan is for us to dominate this game. That isn't gonna be easy with all these freaks of nature running around, and that brings me to my first target…that Armstrong chick."
"Her?" Hot Dog Water said in slight shock before saying, "Is this because of your fight with her earlier?"
"No, this is personal." Walter told her, "I know Armstrong & that officer rabbit's types. The pigs that'll squeal any chance they find out about shit, like this alliance for example. If we get rid of those two quick, then the rest of Team Shroom will never find out."
"I can see what your mindset is now, Mr. White," Marcie said in response, "As a former criminal myself."
"The boy will be for whenever we want to target someone from the opposite team." Walter explained further, "His job is to convince everyone else in his team to vote off who we want out."
Paul then interjected, "That's rough then, cuz it looks like I've some enemies already."
"What!?" Walter blurted out.
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Walter: Damn kids and their bullshit.
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Trucy & Amy were going completely crazy as Penny could only walk slowly behind them. Trucy & Amy were already carrying two shopping bags in each hand, while Penny had quite a few.
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Amy: Now this is a great way to get my mind off of….that jerk….no no, I should just let it go.
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
"That's how you do it, girls! You just have to find the most expensive brands, and that will give you the best birthday party ever!" Amy cheered.
"Gosh, you two are really into this, aren't you?" Penny asked.
"Nah, not really," Trucy replied with a smile. "I'm just blending in with the crowd."
"Huh?" Penny's mouth was agape.
"As a performer, you just have to go with the flow." Trucy said playfully.
The trio walked past a shop that had a giant magician's hat as a sign. Trucy stopped dead in her tracks and started calling out to her friends.
"Hey! We can find a present for Wario here!" Trucy pointed to the magic shop.
Penny laughed a little, "This is just for yourself, Trucy."
"Guilty as charged," Trucy told the scientist.
"It's worth a look, at least." Amy said as the trio entered the store.
Kirby ran straight to the food court, and ran right up to a counter for the Toadstool Cafe.
"Poyo!" Kirby said.
"Oh, what are you doing here, kid?" The chef toad asked, "Where are your parents?"
"Poyo poyo! Poyo!" Kirby pointed to the menu.
"What is this kid even saying?" The toad thought to himself.
A few minutes later, Kirby was carrying a pile of food that he had gotten from every restaurant at the cafe. He plopped the food down at a table and then sat at the booth. As Kirby was promptly inhaling his food, Taco was at the food court too. The latter stared at a taco place with her jaw wide open.
"What. Is. This!?" Taco spoke out.
She watched as a Tostarenan was decorating a taco and then giving it to a customer. After the customer got it, a hundred more customers piled on top of him to get the inanimate taco. The animate Taco slowly walked out, with her face turning green.
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Taco: What kind of sick twisted world is this place!?
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Doflamingo & Reuben could not find a single store that had any confetti in sight. All the confetti was sold out at various stores, and Doflamingo's veins were showing more and more.
"How do these infernal stores not have the damn confetti!?" Doflamingo asked, "I am about to turn completely mad!"
"I think you're already bonkers, pal." Reuben said before sipping on his drink.
"Now, as for our first target," said Doflamingo. "I say….we target Mr. Walter White, himself!"
"The druggie!?" Reuben blurted out, "Why him!?"
"Silly koala creature," Doflamingo grinned. "He may not look like much, but from what I've already seen of him, the man has shown himself to be quite intelligent. Dare I say, intelligent enough to win the whole competition?"
"Y'know, I woulda thought you'd be after that guy with the safety hazard for a nose," said Reuben. "Since ya seem to hate his guts so much."
Doflamingo chuckled, "No, it's too much fun tormenting that bastard. Serves him right for what he and his crew, but especially he, did. It seems as if we'll have to grow our alliance more….."
"What are those!?" Doflamingo finally looked down a little and saw Reuben wearing pants that had a skull wearing a straw hat stitched on them.
"Oh this? This is just some neat merchandising I found…" Reuben replied.
"Let me get this straight. I told you the tale of how those straw hats invaded my kingdom, kicked me off the throne, and signed my warrant for Impel Down." Doflamingo then grabbed Reuben and brought the latter close to his face, "AND YOU'RE WEARING THEIR MERCHANDISE!?"
Reuben sipped his soda again, but the cup had a picture of the straw hat crew on it, "Uhhhhhh, thirsty?"
"AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!" Doflamingo unleashed a string explosion onto Reuben that caught the attention of a ton of mall goers.
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Reuben (visibly shaking): That was…..terrifying…..
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Reuben now had ash all over him as his pants were completely destroyed. The experiment fell onto the ground as Doflamingo caught his breath. After catching his breath, Doflamingo noticed a certain long nosed sniper and a vampire queen going into the bakery upstairs.
"Perfect." Doflamingo jumped straight to the next floor
Usopp & Marceline were in the mall's bakery, as a beige shy guy with an apron and a chef's hat brought a cake to them. The cake had yellow icing on with with purple cream decorating the cake.
"Wario better enjoy this cake, considering how much of a hellhole this place is right now." Usopp said.
"Hey, at least we got the easiest job, long nose." Marceline replied.
"Yeah, I was almost worried that this place would be all out of cakes." Usopp chuckled, "nothing could possibly go wrong now."
The doors to the bakery flung open as Doflamingo stood right at the entrance.
"AAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!" Usopp's eyes poked right out of his sockets and his tongue stuck out as he screamed.
"What do you want, punk?" Marceline asked Doflamingo aggressively.
"Now, now, Marceline!" Usopp interjected, "Doflamingo's not someone you wanna make enemies with!"
"What? Afraid he might take his feather coat off and start strangling us with it?" Marceline asked darkly.
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Doflamingo: Heh heh, such gruesome thoughts. That girl might be growing on me.
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
"You and Robin would get along swimmingly, I swear!" Usopp frowned.
"Hand over the cake, or else the nuisance with the woodpecker nose will get it." Doflamingo started aiming a string shot at Usopp.
"Fat chance, pinky!" Marceline told Doflamingo off, "C'mon Usopp, let's beat this sucker up!"
"BEAT HIM UP!? ARE YOU KIDDING ME!?" Usopp screamed.
Doflamingo kicked Usopp in the face, making the latter fall down onto the ground. Doflamingo proceeded to shoot tons of string balls at the sniper until Usopp had dust all over him, with some blood leaking out.
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Usopp (in a pretty muddled state): Don't worry viewers, I'm ooooookay. Captain Uuuuusopp has been through worse.
Usopp then faints.
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
"USOPP!" Marceline called out before she whipped her axe out, "Looks like things are getting personal now!"
The vampire queen lunged at Doflamingo. She brought her axe down on him, only for the former warlord of the sea to counter that with one of his strings. It pushed Marceline back a little. Marceline proceeded to fire a red energy beam from her arm, but Doflamingo dodged. Mingo swiped the cake as fast as he could and fled the bakery.
"Hey! Get back here, you wuss!" Marceline flew after him.
The baker shy guy was hidden under the counter while Marceline & Doflamingo's fight happened. He looked over and saw Usopp all battered and beaten up.
"Sir, do we need to call an ambulance?" The baker asked.
"Uuuuuuuhhhh…." Usopp said weakly, before opening his eyes and bolting right back up. "THE CAKE! Man, oh man, I was completely useless there. I'M COMING MARCELINE!"
"HEY! YOU TWO STILL GOTTA PAY!" The baker shy guy yelled as Usopp ran right out of the store.
Olivier & Qwark were in a department store that had tons of people tearing it up, as they were looking for a potential present for Wario.
"This is ridiculous." Olivier ranted, "How in the world would we know what the host would want?"
"This could be a case of good intuition if you ask me." Qwark answered, "Only someone as amazing as I am could…"
"Finish that sentence, and I'm tossing you into that glass box." Olivier threatened.
They walked into the hat section, and they both saw a yellow hat.
"That looks like it'd be exactly Wario's style," Qwark assumed. "What do you say, Olivia?"
"Olivier! Besides, you and I are far from being on a first name basis." Olivier glared at the galactic superhero.
Qwark ran over to get the hat, but a shit ton of customers suddenly showed up and tackled Qwark. Qwark ran over to pull the hat away from the other customers.
"LET GO! I SAW IT FIRST!" Said a random customer.
"I TOUCHED IT FIRST!" Yelled another.
"YELLOW'S MY COLOR, SO GO THROW YOURSELVES IN A DITCH!" A third customer yelled.
"I've protected the galaxy from all sorts of danger," Qwark bragged. "I'd suggest letting go now."
"YEAH RIGHT PAL! BEAT IT!" A hammer bro said as he smacked Qwark across the face with a hammer.
The hammer bro yanked the hat away from the other customers. Olivier immediately ran over to him.
"Let the hat go now!" Olivier told the hammer bro.
"Oh nooooooo, I'm soooooo scared!" The hammer bro said in a very exaggerated tone. "Karen."
The random customer pulled out a bob-omb and threw it on the ground causing an explosion. There was smoke everywhere as a result, and Olivier was coughing like crazy before it passed. After the smoke was gone, so was that hammer bro and the hat.
"Damn it." Olivier swore under her breath.
"Did weeeee get thhhheeeee one-millllionthhhhh dolllllaaaar, Kiiiiiirrrrrbbbby?" Qwark said while dizzy. "Noooooo deeearest motherrrrr I dooooon't wanna go to beeeed."
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Olivier: This flash sale is driving me up the wall as of now. How can anyone stand to waste their time acting like such barbarians?
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
"Pull yourself together, soldier." Olivier told Qwark, "We have a new mission on our hands."
At another random store, Judy found that there were only few party hats left, so she tried grabbing the first set of hats she found. But she grabbed it right at the same time as Makoto did.
"Oh, uh," Judy said awkwardly. "Hey, I was kinda here first sooooo you know."
"Don't worry, Judy, I understand." Makoto said calmly.
Judy breathed a sigh of relief and took the set, but right then, Makoto ran up and used one of her judo moves on Judy. Judy ended up on the ground as Makoto took the hats.
"I understand….but finders keepers." Makoto said slyly.
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Makoto: Guess my friends really did rub off on me there.
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Judy: *groans* I'm more mad at myself for falling for that.
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Judy got up and said, "So you think I'm gonna lie down that easily?"
Judy grabbed on to the hats as both started pulling on the bag. Soon, it turned into them throwing light punches to try to get the other to let go. The girls were full on, knocking items off the shelves and knocking ENTIRE AISLES down.
Waluigi walked out of the arcade with a giant Pyoro plush.
"Wah-hah-ha! Wario's gonna hate-a-this present!" Waluigi laughed to himself.
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Waluigi: Wah! You all at home WILL NOT EVER KNOW how many pinball games it took to win that thing!
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
"Hey punk!" A goomba came out of nowhere and walked up to Waluigi, "You gonna hand that plush over or what?"
"Wah? Heck no!" Waluigi replied rudely. "Go win your own-a-plushie!"
"Did someone say plushie?" A random pianta asked.
"Oh no…." Waluigi gulped as more Mushroom Kingdom people started walking towards him.
"GET HIM!" The goomba yelled.
"WWWWWWWAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!" Waluigi was running away as an angry mob started chasing him
"Pitchforks! Get your pitchforks!" Said a random salesman.
"Torches! Get your torches!" Said another random salesman.
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Waluigi: Why do these things always happen to me?
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
"THIS MASSAGE CHAIR IS HOW MANY DOLLARS!?" Ted screamed at a poor employee.
"It's 300 dollars sir!" The employee tried to reason with the bear, "These chairs don't come cheap."
"Damn ripoff artist!" Ted kicked the employee in the shin and ran away.
"GAH! SECURITY! Ouch!" The employee said as he hopped on one foot.
Doflamingo was about to exit the mall, until Marceline suddenly flew right up to him, and bashed him over the head with her axe.
"Give us the cake back, jerk!" Marceline told the villain.
"Yes, I'll give it back all because you asked." Doflamingo mocked before he shot some strings at her.
Marceline dodged at the last minute, but the string did graze her arm. She then shot more of her red energy blasts at Mingo. The latter dodges them too, and then swiped his hand at Marceline. Right before he could though…
"SPECIAL ATTACK: FIRE BIRD STAR!"
A phoenix flew right at Doflamingo, catching him off guard and knocking him into a wall. Multiple customers gawked at the sight as they heard the crashing noise.
"Why….you…." Doflamingo said with gritted teeth.
"Boy, Pinocchio sure got ya there, champ." Reuben came out of nowhere, holding a sandwich.
"Where have you been?" Doflamingo glared at Reuben.
Reuben sweat a little at the glare before saying. "Can't a guy get a sandwich from the food court?
"Wow, you sure recovered fast." Marceline said to Usopp.
"Heh, I've had worse injuries." Usopp shrugged. "Now quick, while Doflamingo's fighting with sandwich guy!"
"Right!" Marceline flew over and grabbed the cake.
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Doflamingo: Gah! That was a cheap shot! This isn't over Usopp the God, this isn't over.
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
That hammer bro walked into the arcade, smirking after getting the hat. As we walked up to the cash register, saw a familiar looking woman at the counter.
"Ah! Are you here for one of those video games, young man?" Said woman was actually Qwark dressed in drag.
The hammer bro's eyes turned into hearts as he then said, "Hubba hubba, who are you, lady?"
"Why my name is Qwar….ina! Qwarina!" Qwark told the customer, "And you're quite nice too!"
"You sound like you know how to party….how about we…"
"Watch it, buster!" Qwark interrupted using his real voice before immediately switching to his fake voice again, "I…uh...mean watch it pal! Don't you know how to talk to a lady?"
"Er, sorry, guess we should take it slow." Said the hammer bro.
"That's more like it, how about I give you one of these rewards for free?" Qwark asked, "Consider this a one second anniversary gift."
"Would I ever!" The hammer bro exclaimed, "If only I had a present to give too."
"I like that hat you've got," Qwark pointed to the hat. "You can give it to me and then we can be equal."
"Aw man, I worked really hard to get this hat." The hammer bro sighed. "Had to pry it out of some moron's hands…"
"Watch your langu…I mean, wouldn't you do it for looooove?"
"...YES YES I WOULD DO IT FOR LOVE!" The hammer bro threw the hat at Qwark, "NOW KISS ME!"
"Not on my watch!" Qwark dropped the persona and slammed the hammer bro right into the desk, destroying it. "Remember children, respect your maidens, otherwise this will happen."
Olivier came out from the "Employees Only" room.
"I cannot believe that actually worked." Olivier said bluntly.
"Hey, what can I say." Qwark patted his wig, "I'm just charming that way."
"Whatever it is," Olivier changed the subject. "It's about time for us to get back to the ship. I'm tired of hearing your drivel anyways."
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Qwark: She doesn't have to act so cold just because she is in my presence. There is enough of me for everyone!
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Everyone was now back at the cruiser, and the assignment was to put the parties together. Over at Team Flower, they had the front lobby to decorate. Trucy & Penny were decorating using the magic props Trucy had gotten from the magic show, while Penny built confetti machines that would shoot out confetti.
"Y'know Penny, it is funny how you seem to afford all the stuff you buy." Trucy wondered.
"Yeah…my grandpa makes a lot from his inventions and from WarioWare Inc." Penny explained.
"If you say so," Trucy shrugged. "This performance will be amazing!"
"I know! Going to that magic shop really was a great idea!" Penny said in excitement. "I've had this birthday song in mind for a year now, and to finally get a chance to sing it."
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Makoto: Is it just me, or does it feel like this is too much stuff for Penny to casually be able to afford. I might be paranoid, but something seems amiss.
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Doflamingo & Reuben were able to sneak out of the lobby. Well, Doflamingo was, at least. He just tied Reuben up and smuggled the latter in his coat. The villainous duo went into the cafeteria where Team Mushroom was doing their decorations. Doflamingo quickly slid under a table, and let Reuben out of the coat.
"I'm telling ya, Waltie, that price was a ripoff if I've ever seen one." Ted told Heisenberg.
"You sure as hell wasted my time, bear!" Walter said, annoyed, "How do you think I felt trying to find your ass that whole time?"
Reuben coughed, "That coat is really dusty, y'know! Man, you should clean that thing."
"It's not my fault that mall was a complete madhouse," Doflamingo replied. "Now, this is our chance to get Walter out!"
"How do you suppose we do that, pinky?" Reuben replied. "The whole team's wanderin' around and everything."
"Watch and learn." Doflamingo used a string to grab on to grab on to a huge happy birthday sign.
The sign was in a corner, and not much people were paying attention to it. Doflamingo started making the sign move and right as it approached the door, people were noticing it going.
"Uh, this isn't the drugs again is it?" Ted asked.
"For someone who never shuts the hell up about drugs," Walter said to the bear. "You never seem to actually do them!"
"I gotta take them sparingly," Ted responded. "It's not as special if I do marijuana all the time."
"I'll get that sign," said Usopp.
"Wah! No! You won't-a-do it right!" Waluigi told Usopp, "I'm-a-more qualified for this job."
"Oh yeah! You're so lame that you probably couldn't find your way out of a paper bag!"
"Oh yeah! Well…"
Waluigi & Usopp both ran out the door in pursuit of the sign. Marceline sighed in annoyance at the sight.
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Marceline: Look, Usopp, you're cool and all, but you gotta cut it out with Waluigi. It's getting old.
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Doflamingo untied Reuben, "Minion, I need you to take that cake to Walter's room so we can frame him for stealing it. After I initiate the next part of my plan, you shall do this."
Doflamingo quickly slid out the room, and quickly after that, Usopp & Waluigi's screams could be heard.
"Oh my gosh, what is happening out there!?" Judy immediately went to investigate.
Half the team left, some to help the big nose duo, and others had questionable motives to say the least.
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Qwark: This may be an opportunity to prove just how heroic I am to these naysayers.
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Doflamingo had Usopp & Waluigi tied up, and both were being held over the ship deck.
"Let the big noses go, Doflamingo!" Judy commanded.
"Ohhhh, I'm so scared." Doflamingo mocked Judy, "My, what should I do with these two? Should I drop them into the water? Should I chop them into pieces?"
"NOT THE CHOPPING INTO PIECES!" Usopp yelled out.
"YEAH, WHAT THE CHUMP WITH THE SAFETY HAZARD FOR A NOSE SAID!" Waluigi replied.
"SAFETY HAZARD? LIKE YOUR PECKER COULDN'T POKE SOMEONE'S EYE OUT!" Usopp told Waluigi.
"IT'S ALL YOUR FAULT WE GOT STUCK HERE ANYWAYS!" Waluigi argued.
Marceline sighed, "Even when their lives are at stake, those two are still fighting."
"MY FAULT!? IF YOU HAD STAYED BEHIND, WE WOULDN'T BE CAUGHT UP IN THIS SITUATION!" Usopp argued back.
"SILENCE! I WANT FEAR! NOT THE DAMN BICKERING YOU DUMBASSES ARE CURRENTLY DOING!" Doflamingo exclaimed.
"EEP! Y-yes Doffy!" Usopp shrunk back.
"But can you resist this, sugar?" Qwark burst out the door in drag.
Everyone was silent for a moment.
"..."
"..."
"..."
"...Why is that idiot wearing a wig?" Doflamingo asked.
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Olivier: Looks as if someone quite enjoys crossdressing.
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
"Isn't that perfect," said Walter. "Everyone ran out to God knows where."
"What are ya lookin' at on that laptop, Hot Dog Water?" Ted asked.
Marcie let out an annoyed grunt as Ted shoved himself next to her.
"By the way, where'd that hot dog smell go?" Ted asked.
"Well, when these showers have water that isn't used for hot dogs," Hot Dog Water answered. "I get to actually smell good for once. I'm just looking at some news from other universes."
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Hot Dog Water: If you're wondering how I was able to access websites from other universes, I was able to find a multiversal VPN that was made swiftly after dimensional travel was discovered.
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
"What is that one over there! Phantom thieves?" Ted pointed at an article that Marcie had opened as a side tab. "That sounds like one of those japanese mangoes that are so popular. Man, if only I could score myself one of them anime girls."
"Yeah, apparently these guys went around and made bad guys confess to their crimes…somehow." Marcie told the stuffed bear, while ignoring his unsavory comments.
Overhearing that caught Walter's attention, "Turn bad guys good….these thieves surely aren't active now."
"Doesn't seem that way," Hot Dog Water answered. "It says here that they disbanded after their leader was found out as some kid named Ren Amamiya."
"Ren mama-mia?" Ted started laughing at his own joke.
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Walter: I know alright, what are the chances that one of those Phantom Thieves could still be around. But when you're as experienced as me, you don't take those risks.
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
While the trio was distracted, Reuben swiped the cake, and ran straight upstairs to Walter's room. After stuffing it there, Reuben quickly got back out, and wiped the sweat from his forehead.
"It's alright, Reuben." The experiment told himself, "Nobody noticed."
After Reuben left, the cake lied there in Walter's room. Suddenly, the door to Walter's room opened…
"Poyo!"
Time was up, and both teams had to show Wario their parties.
"There you saps are!" Wario yelled at the half of Team Mushroom that went after Doflamingo, as well as the latter. "Where could you have-a-been!?"
"Waluigi doesn't wanna talk about it." Waluigi answered.
What everyone failed to notice, was that Kirby was mysteriously absent.
"Right, now time for you saps to give me a birthday party." Wario told everyone, "Starting with the Flower Team."
"That's Team Flower to you, bub!" Daffy retorted. "Not that I like the name!"
"Whatever, show me what party you've got." Wario told Team Flower.
When everyone got to the lobby, Penny's confetti blasters shot a ton of confetti into the air, as an electric sign spelled out 'Happy Birthday, Wario!' A bunch of magician hats shot streamers out and there was a pile of presents stacked underneath the sign. There was even a big ass cake on a big ass table.
"WAH! FOR-A-ME!?" Wario's jaw dropped.
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Hot Dog Water: What!? How did that team afford all that stuff? More importantly, how are we going to top it?
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Penny: Sure I got almost all of that stuff for free, but I still had fun putting it all together. I just wish I wasn't cheating.
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Penny walked to the center of the room where a microphone was. She started singing her birthday song, which had everyone stunned. Wario just sat there and picked his nose through the duration of it.
"Eh," Wario said. "Still not a fan of the pop, but Wario gives this-a-party a 10/10! Team Fungus has some-a-big shoes to fill. WAHAHAHAHAHAHAA!"
"Shhhhhhhhit!" Ted cursed while the rest of his team was speechless.
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Usopp: Damn it Doflamingo! You did that hostage situation just to cheat your team a win!
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Both teams went to a cafeteria, and the party was very incomplete. There was no 'Happy Birthday" sign, a lot of decorations were still in their shopping bags, but there were some balloons and party hats up.
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Makoto: At least Judy was still able to use those party hats.
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
"Well isn't this a sad party." Wario bluntly told Team Mushroom, "You must hate-a-me that much don't you?"
Wario walked up to a giant present that was on a table.
"Wah, but is that-a-for me?" Wario asked.
"Of course it is!" Waluigi told him, "This present comes from how much I care about you, Wario!"
"Cut the sap off, you're gonna make sick with your sweetness!' Wario said before ripping the present open. "...it's a stuffed animal…..of that stupid bird…..that is always outselling my games."
"Isn't it wonderful?" Waluigi gave Wario a shit-eating grin.
Suddenly, the Pyoro came to life and started trying to eat Wario.
"AHHHHHHHHHHHH! IT'S A REAL PYORO, YOU IDIOT!" Wario yelled muffled yells at Waluigi.
"ORO!" The Pyoro said with its mouth full.
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Waluigi: That arcade selling a real Pyoro? That sure is-a-sketchy, and I would know. Wahahahahaha!
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
"SPIT HIM OUT!" Judy started pulling on Wario's legs that were sticking out of Pyoro.
"ORO!" Pyoro pulled back.
Makoto ran up and started backing Judy up with getting Wario out.
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Makoto: He may be shady, but I'm not going to just let him get eaten by a bird.
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
More people helped Judy & Makoto, as they all pulled Wario out of the Pyoro.
"SCRAM YOU STUPID BIRD! OR ELSE WARIO'S GONNA MAKE YOU REGRET IT!" Wario screamed while covered in bird spit.
"ORO," Pyoro flew away after SpongeBob opened a window.
"Man, that was a close one," SpongeBob said.
"You are on thin ice, Team Mushroom." Wario told the team. "But all will be forgiven, if you give me a good cake."
Usopp then said smugly, "Oh we got you the perfect cake, Wario! It's so good, that you'll die of happiness!"
"No need to be so dramatic, dude," Marceline said with a smile. "Just give him the cake."
Usopp went right over to the table that the cake was at, and it was gone.
"Huh? Where's the cake?" Usopp asked. "I left it right there."
"I dunno, maybe SpongeBob put it in the refrigerator?" Marceline said.
"Nope, I woulda told you otherwise." SpongeBob replied.
"WHERE'S THE CAKE!?" Usopp yelled.
"Poyo!"
Team Mushroom turned around, and Kirby was standing right there. The latter had cake crumbs on his mouth as he patted his belly.
"Yo!"
"..."
"..."
"..."
"Marceline and I made our way through that zoo, we waited an hour for that cake, we had to fight Doflamingo to get it back…" Usopp said in a disturbingly calm tone, "...and Kirby ate it."
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Doflamingo: WHAT THE HELL WAS MY MINION DOING!? WALTER WAS SUPPOSED TO GET OUT! NOT THE MARSHMALLOW!
Doflamingo punched the wall to broom closet, leaving a dent.
Doflamingo: Ohhhhh, he's going to hear allllll about this.
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
"Marceline, Usopp," Judy said in a worried tone. "You guys aren't too mad, right?"
"No…" said Marceline, "No we're not…"
Judy breathed a sigh of relief, "And here I thought…"
"KIRBY! WHEN I CATCH YOU!" Marceline bolted after Kirby and the latter's eyes popped out as he ran.
"WAIT FOR ME, MARCE! I'VE GOT A BONE TO PICK TOO!" Usopp ran after Kirby as well.
"...oh boy…" Amy sighed before running too. "GUYS! HE'S JUST A KID!"
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Ted: Damn, those two are pissed. Must have been some shit they went through.
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Wario then broke the silence by saying, "Big surprise, Team Mushroom loses. See me in the storage area, losers."
In Doflamingo's room, Reuben was beaten up and bound to the wall by strings.
"C'mon, Pinky, I have no idea how the blob found the cake." Reuben told the pirate.
"Doesn't matter now. Because this proves that I need more allies." Doflamingo told Reuben, "And allies that will actually help me in the long run. But who do I go for?"
"How about someone in the other team," Reuben told Doflamingo. "That way we can have someone vote for baldie in those ceremonies."
Doflamingo was stunned, "So you can come up with good ideas. That was so good for you, that I'll give you a pat on the head."
Doflamingo crouched down and patted Reuben on the head in a condescending way.
"Alright, losers, welcome to the elimination room," Wario told everyone. "I don't feel like explaining this again sooooo, yada yada, you all vote for someone, than whoever gets the most votes is out of the game forever. Blah blah blah, golden statues of me, ya got all that?"
"No?" Hot Dog Water said bluntly.
"Too bad, time to give statues to everyone who is-a-safe." Said Wario.
"Rabbit chick."
"Hot Dog Water."
"Gloomy girl."
"We have names, you know," said Marceline.
"And I don't-a-care. Armstrong."
"Ted."
"Big chin guy."
"Surely you must care about my name." Qwark told the host, "for it is Captain Qwark."
"And you're sure as heck lucky you weren't out this episode. Considering how many people thought it'd be you out next. Baldie McDrug Dealer."
"I refuse to answer to that." Walter said bluntly.
"Fine, Walter White."
"And the human woodpecker."
Now it was only Waluigi & Kirby left.
"Alright, Waluigi, you pulled that-a-prank on me, that already put your-a-team on thin ice. Kirby, we all know why you're here." Wario told the last two contestants left. "The final statue goes to…
…
…
…
…
…
…
…
…
…
…
…
…
…
…
…
…
…
…
…

…
…
…Waluigi."
"YES! THANK STAR SPIRITS I-" Waluigi yelled out before clearing his throat. "I mean, Waluigi knew he was-a-safe, wahahaha!"
"Aw, poyo." Kirby said while very bummed out.
Marceline sighed. "Look, Kirby, I'm so sorry I lost my cool like that earlier. I was so stressed and…"
"Poyo!" Kirby smiled and gave Marceline a reassuring nod.
"Yeah, I wanna pitch in my own apology, hope I can make it up to you, Kirby." Usopp said too.
Kirby tilted his head, but then nodded too. Team Mushroom made their way to the garden, where the warp star appeared. Kirby hopped on, and waved to everyone.
"Byyyye," Kirby then flew off.
"I'm gonna miss that puffball." Quark commented.
"And just a moment ago, you were all mad at the little guy." Marcie commented.
"Man, I still feel like shit for the way I blew up at him." Usopp sighed.
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Hot Dog Water: Yeah, it feels pretty obvious who I'm voting off. Goodbye Kirby.
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Marceline: I know, it probably seems like I'm gonna say Kirby, but I'm actually gunning for Waluigi. The guy put us on thin ice in the first place with his prank, not to mention him and Usopp's stupid fights.
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Kirby: Kiiirby! Kiiiirby!
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Waluigi: Waluigi votes for Kirby, and it's absolutely not to save my own butt.
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Votes Altogether;
Kirby: Waluigi, Ted, Hot Dog Water, Olivier, Walter, Kirby
Waluigi: Marceline, Usopp, Judy, Qwark
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Hot Dog Water was walking back to her room. She yawned as it had been a long day, but then she was stopped in her tracks.
"Why hello, young girl." Doflamingo said after dropping in out of nowhere.
"You!? What are you doing here!?" Marcie asked.
"Let's just say, I have a little business proposition for you." Doflamingo told her. "An…acquaintance and I have formed an alliance, but we need more manpower if we want it to last longer."
"W-what does this have to do with me?" Marcie said while her lip trembled slightly.
"I want you to join me!" Doflamingo told her, "And together we will take over this little game."
"And how are you planning on getting there?"
"Well first, we are to take out Walter White."
Hot Dog Water screamed internally upon hearing that.
20th: Mokey Mouse (Mokey's Show) [Team Flower]
19th: Kirby (Kirby) [Team Mushroom]
Notes:
So that's the end of the chapter. A lot of people thought the next person would be Qwark or Daffy, but I didn't want to be too obvious. It's pretty much that, and also because Kirby can't talk, so yeah. Anyways, this was a combination of two challenge idea I got from DMs, and it looks like things are getting spicy with Hot Dog Water. Well, see ya'll in the next chapter.
Chapter Text
It was the year 20xx, and Princess Peach had announced the Mushroom Kingdom Tennis Tournament. That announcement had reached the ears of Waluigi, as he had prided himself on his passion for tennis. It was not like those worthless Toads ever appreciated his true talent though. It was always about Mario & Luigi, bah, how Waluigi couldn't stand those goody two-shoe plumbers, even before meeting them. Anyways, Waluigi got out from the dumpster he lived in during the middle of the night, and walked over to the bar.
The bar was full of a bunch of boos, dry bones, broozers, and other ghosts and undead creatures. The purple trickster sat down at the bar table as a boo wearing a tie phased in place.
"Whehehehehe! Guess you're having the regular, Waluigi, old pal!" The boo bartender asked.
"You know it," said Waluigi. "And make it-a-two glasses. Waluigi really needs to drown his-a-sorrows right now."
"Coming right up, Whehehehehe!" The bartender disappeared after Waluigi gave his order.
On the tv, was a news channel, and on it were the Mario Bros being interviewed. Waluigi grit his teeth as he watched the interview.
"Who does that-a-Luigi think he is?" Waluigi said resentfully, "Oh boo-hoo, he lives in his-a-brother's shadow and gets EVERYONE'S pity for it. Give me a break!"
"Who do those Mario Bros, think they are!?" Said a voice next to Waluigi, "Always so perfect, always saving the day and being so high and mighty. Yet, Wario gets rejected from that stupid tennis tournament for not having a stinking doubles partner."
Both went silent for a while and faced each other.
"So…you have a bone to pick with those-a-plumbers too?" Wario asked.
"Yes, as a matter of fact…"
Waluigi was woken up from this dream from some singing.
"Daddy, there were tears there. If you saw them would you even care?"
"Wah! Would you keep it-a-down!?" Waluigi punched the left wall. "I'm-a-trying to get my-a-beauty sleep!"
Waluigi checked the time on the alarm clock next to his bed, and it was marked at 9 am.
"Wah? Weird that Wario hasn't started the show yet." Waluigi thought to himself.
Before Waluigi had woken up, Marceline handed Usopp some drums.
"You want me to play these then?" Usopp asked
"Yeah, this is for a pretty personal song for me," said Marceline. "I'll tell you, I'm about to pour my heart out, okay. Just don't play that recording around anyone else here."
Marceline played her guitar as she started singing.
"Daddy, why did you eat my fries?
I bought them and they were mine
But you ate them, yeah, you ate my fries
And I cried, but you didn't see me cry
Daddy, do you even love me?
Well, I wish you'd show it
'Cause I wouldn't know it
What kind of dad eats his daughter's fries
And doesn't look her in the eyes?
Daddy, there were tears there
If you saw them, would you even care?"
"Yeesh, all this angst over fries?' Usopp asked once the song was done.
"IT'S NOT-" Marceline took a deep breath and then said, "No…it's personal…I'd rather not talk about it."
Usopp decided to not push it as he walked out of the room. "If it makes you feel any better, I…never really knew my dad all that much. N-not that he's not a great pirate captain of his own with 200 men!"
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Usopp: Man, those are some daddy issues she's got….n-not that I would know anything about daddy issues…ha ha….
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Marceline then sighed, "Your's too huh."
Makoto sat on her bed, while texting the other phantom thieves on her phone again. She quickly turned it off, as Judy Hopps opened the door.
"Hey, Makoto, you wanted to see me?" Judy asked.
"Yes," Makoto answered. "It's about Wario."
Judy then said, "So you noticed too, huh."
"Yeah, Penny just being able to afford all of those materials for the birthday party yesterday." Makoto replied. "Something doesn't seem right with that."
"Guess she could just be rich." Judy wondered.
"You may have a point," Makoto relented. "However, I've done some digging on Wario. He happens to have a history with these types of schemes, and I wanted to get to the bottom of this. But I can't do this on my own."
"Wait, are you proposing that we make an alliance?" Judy responded.
"Yes, as a matter of fact," Makoto told Judy. "Are you in?"
Judy thought about it before saying, "I'm in."
The duo shook hands as they both nodded.
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Judy: You'd better watch out, Wario, cuz Makoto & I will catch you. That's a promise.
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
The cast made their way inside the cafeteria.
"Not a single line in the last challenge!?" Daffy complained, "Seriously!? What gives author!? What kind of hack writing would leave a star such as I out?"
"Daffy…what are you talking about?" Makoto said with raised eyebrows.
"You wouldn't get it," Daffy told the phantom thief. "You don't know about the fourth wall, which I've been breaking since before that red guy was around."
Reuben had a Krabby Patty in his hand as Daffy was ranting about his lack of appearances last chapter (be grateful I even picked you from submissions anyways you damn duck).
"I dunno, this ain't lookin' like it could beat a good sandwich." Reuben said before biting into it.
All of a sudden, Reuben stopped as his eyes turned to Krabby Patties and he blasted off to the ceiling and back.
"What. the." Reuben said as other teammates looked at him concerned.
"You okay?" Trucy asked.
"Why is this burger SO DANG GOOD!?" Reuben exclaimed. "WHAT IS YOUR SECRET, SPONGE GUY?"
SpongeBob replied, "The secret is that I made it with love."
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Daffy was vomiting on the floor.
Daffy: He really needs to come up with something less sappy. I don't think my stomach can take anymore "with love"'s.
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Taco: *spotting Daffy's vomit* Ew, is anyone gonna clean that up?
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
While the rest of the cast was at the cafeteria, Walter, Ted, & Paul had met up in the former's room. Walter checked his watch repeatedly, while Paul tapped his foot against the wall.
"Waltie, I dunno about you," Ted attempted to whisper. "But when are ya gonna give me the good stuff already?"
"Look, bear, I don't have all the free time in the world to make the good stuff. So get off my back about it." Walter replied.
"Aw come on, you promised me the good stuff if I joined this here alliance!" Ted argued.
"No I didn't, you just butt into my whole operation here." Walter told the teddy bear, "And for the record, you used up all the meth I had on the damn rat."
While Ted & Walter were bickering, Hot Dog Water finally entered the room.
"Tch, it's about time." Paul said, "Where were you?"
"Can't a girl get some breakfast?" Marcie answered snarkily.
"Whatever." Paul replied.
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Hot Dog Water: Good, they don't suspect anything so far. Good lord, what have I gotten myself into.
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
"Now that we're all here," Walter told his alliance, "I wanted to give you two your first assignment."
White pointed at Ted & Marcie, "I need the both of you to get a very special folder from the cafeteria's storage room after today's challenge. In it is a shit ton of information about all the contestants, and we could use that information to our advantage."
"Uh, how do you know about this folder?" Marcie asked with a raised eyebrow.
"It wasn't hard to fish it out of the dog and cat." Walter explained.
"Or you just happened to overhear it, old man." Paul interjected. "Those morons don't look like they'd know how to shut up."
"Who's in charge here, kid, because last I checked, it wasn't you!" Heisenberg yelled out.
"Hey, why should I do all the dirty work here," Ted asked.
"Because I'll give you the good stuff if you do this." Walter bribed Ted.
"I won't let ya down then, Waltie!" Ted saluted.
Wario was in his room, and he was laughing like a maniac.
"What in the holy name is so funny, Wario?" The crystal asked.
"Ohhhhh, this-a-challenge will be-a-good, wahahahahahaaaaaaa!" Wario finished typing out his plans. "Those saps won't-a-know what hit them."
"Wario?"
"Oh, talking crystal, what do you want?" Wario asked.
"What exactly do you find so funny?"
"Well, I found-a-THIS," Wario whipped out Usopp's fear list. "And got a little inspiration for this next challenge."
"You aren't copying that fear challenge, are you?"
"Yes! Yes I am! Wahahahahaha! Those chumps on Team Mushroom gave me the worst-a-birthday ever, now everyone is gonna pay for it!"
"Oh brother."
Wario called up Dr. Crygor, Penny's grandfather, on the phone, and then he quickly said, "WAH!? WHAT DO YOU MEAN WE DON'T HAVE TO BUDGET FOR THAT-A-CHALLENGE!?"
Dr. Crygor said some more things that had Wario yell out. "I WASTED SOME OF IT ON BRIBING THE MALL!?"
Wario hung up and brought his fist down on his hand. "How are we going to get-a-some quick cash in time!?"
"By not wasting money on expensive bribes?" The crystal proposed.
"Did someone say, get quick cash!" Daffy appeared right out of nowhere.
"WAH!? WHERE DID YOU-A-COME FROM!?" Wario exclaimed.
"I overheard everything, and just leave it to me to make you some cash, fatso." Daffy attempted to reassure Wario.
"WHO ARE YA CALLING FAT!?" Wario yelled in offense.
Daffy put his thumb in his mouth and infla…wait a minute, this isn't one of those fanfics, so I'm not finishing that sentence. All I'll say is that Daffy got out a camera and started…twerking…on camera before posting it online.
"...that's an image that shall be forever burnt into my memory." The crystal commented.
"Did we get a million views and make enough money for the next challenge!?" Daffy asked as he and Wario watched the views load.
"YOU'RE CANCELLED!" The phone told the both of them.
"WAH-T! CANCELLED!? WHAT KIND OF CRUDDY WEBSITE IS-A-THIS!?" Wario exclaimed.
"Boy, that blew up in our face-" Daffy didn't finish that sentence as the phone literally below both him and Wario up.
After finishing his Krabby Patty, Reuben was getting a massage at the spa.
"Ah yes, this is the life." Reuben said to himself as he dozed off to sleep.
As Reuben woke up, he was suddenly on a beach not unlike the beaches back at Hawaii.
"Huh, is this some kinda dream?" Reuben thought out loud. "Man, if only I had a sandwich."
"Hey, it's me, Jumba!" A hyperrealistic Jumba appeared out of nowhere…sounding weirder than usual.
"What the!? Jumba, why do ya sound so weird?" Reuben asked in shock. "And do ya have any sandwiches? AND EUGH! WHY DO YA LOOK SO NASTY ALL OF A SUDDEN!?"
"No I don't have any sandwiches, and I'm evil too! I'm the villain now!" Jumba laughed maniacally. "I'm gonna destroy this little girl's family photos cuz I'm so evil! Muhahahahahahahahaaaaaaaaaaa!"
Reuben gasped, "WHAT KINDA SICK TWISTED PLACE IS THIS!? WHO WOULD MAKE A WORLD SO TERRIBLE AND WITHOUT ANY SANDWICHES!?"
Suddenly a hyperrealistic one-eyed alien that looked just as hideous as Jumba here showed up, "Hi I'm Pleakley, and I sure love not cross-dressing! I sure love putting on holographic human costumes instead of wearing dresses!"
Pleakley shook as if he was holding back the urge to cry.
Out of nowhere, a little girl then showed up, "I think Nani should leave me in foster care so that she can go to California to w-write about fisgvjmdkldkjdgkskdjsdbgdjkk!"
Reuben screamed.
Reuben woke up as the intercom went off.
"It's time for the next challenge, losers!" Wario announced, "And this'll be a special challenge, wahahahahaha! Meet me at the cafeteria."
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Reuben: Wow, having a nightmare like that really builds up an appetite. Anyone have some mayo?
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Daffy: Wow, having an awful live action remake really takes a toll huh? That officer wabbit better watch her back.
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
The cast walked in on Wario & Daffy both being covered in ash.
"Th-thats aaaallll folks!" Daffy said as his ass deflated.
"Uh, what happened here?" Marceline asked. "Looks like the result of one of Bonnie's experiments here."
"Whatever this is, it's about to lead into our next challenge isn't it." Paul guessed. "This one better not be another errand."
"Yeah, what the edgelord says," Ted added. "Let this one be a real challenge, like a beer mile!"
"May I remind you that some people here are underage, Ted." Judy sighed.
"Who cares about that when we have a drug dealer here!" Ted pointed out. "Draw the line at underage drinking my ass."
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Walter: God, I shouldn't have told everyone here I'm a drug dealer.
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
"No, it's not-a-that. Wario needs some-a-money…so…." Wario slowly got up and led everyone outside.
What was outside, was none other than a bank. Said bank was located in a city that was known as Station Square. Judy & Makoto both gasped as they immediately knew what Wario wanted the cast to do.
"WARIO, ARE WE ROBBING A FUCKING BANK!?" Judy & Makoto exclaimed in unison.
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Daffy: You know things are serious if the DISNEY character dropped an f-bomb.
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
"Nonsense, we're adventuring a bank, get it through your thick skulls, wahahahahaha!" Wario suddenly got excited again.
"This is not how I thought I'd come back to Station Square," Amy commented. "How are we here anyways? Didn't you say we were all from different universes or something?"
"We used Dr. Crygor's Dimensional-Travelinator. He says that-a-name is very original." Wario picked his nose. "Not that I care."
"WWWHAT!? ARE YOU TRYING TO GET US ARRESTED YOU GREEDY PIG!?" Usopp yelled at Wario while suddenly having bug eyes and sharp teeth.
"I must agree with the long nose," Olivier said. "This is absolutely asinine and I refuse to take any part in it."
"Ohhhhhh, the pirate is afraid to ro-adventure a little bank! And here I thought you were the captain of a billion men." Wario mocked.
"Yeah! This is-a-nothing for Waluigi! Stand back, pecker nose, and let the professional handle this!" Waluigi said condescendingly.
"OH HOLD ON! I COULD ROB THIS BANK BETTER THAN YOU EVER COULD, FOXY'S SKINNY BROTHER!" Usopp yelled at Waluigi.
"There will be no robbing banks on my watch," Judy walked forward. "If you think I'm going to allow this challenge to continue, then you'll have to answer to ZPD."
"Make that double," Makoto stepped in. "You are insane if you think I'll let you make us rob a bank."
Wario & Daffy glanced at each other, and grinned. Two minutes later, Judy & Makoto were both tied up and shoved straight into the officer's room.
"UNTIE US, NOW!" Judy attempted to command as Wario shut the door.
Wario & Daffy returned to the deck of the cruiser.
"We sure make-a-great team, don't we, duck?" Wario laughed.
"You're not quite good enough for someone of my stature, but you make a good sidekick." Daffy said with a lot of vanity.
"Sidekick!? Wario isn't a sidekick!" Wario yelled at the duck. "That's Waluigi's job!"
Waluigi's eye twitched as Wario said his previous comment.
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Waluigi: Sidekick…and I'm being replaced…WITH A DUCK!? Ohhhhh, Wario's going to pay.
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
"Alright, now get to robbing, I mean adventuring those-a-banks!" Wario told everyone. "Whoever brings back the loot first-a-wins."
Team Mushroom huddled up.
"Isn't this just perfect." Walter started off. "We're down two people all because they decided to be some goody two-shoes. Fortunately for all of you, I always have plans for these types of scenarios."
"Now that's my favorite drug dealer!" Ted cheered.
"Can you people go two seconds without telling the whole damn world that I'm a drug dealer!?" Walter said in exasperation.
"I dunno, man, I can't say that it's some small detail." Marceline added her own two cents in.
"Says the vampire chick." Walter rebutted. "We're getting off track now, here's the plan…"
While Team Mushroom were talking things over, Team Flower were coming up with plans themselves.
"Hmph, it's not right to lock Judy & Makoto up like that!" Amy said disapprovingly.
"Look, Amy, if you try to make some huge deal out of it," Taco told the pink hedgehog, "You'll probably just end up with them anyways. So I'd suggest we both keep our mouths shut."
"Now this is a challenge where all of you are quite fortunate to have me around," said Doflamingo.
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Taco: Knowing how unhinged this guy is, yeah, he's right for once.
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Daffy then took a random purse out of who knows where, and started dumping a bunch of items on the floor. He flipped the purse back up and pulled out a bomb.
"A smoke bomb, huh, this'll do." Daffy said out loud, "Listen up everyone, I'll set this smoke bomb off, and WHAM! THAT'S when we'll strike! Ya got me?"
"A good plan coming from you? Now that's a surprise." Paul remarked.
"Don't give me that sass, kid!" Daffy put his face against Paul's. "I've had good ideas looong before you were even born!"
Meanwhile in another bank, SpongeBob was helping out with Wario's situation…in his own way.
"PUT THE MONEY IN THE BAG!" SpongeBob screamed while wearing an oversized sock on his head, "PUT IT IN!"
"Um, you're facing the wrong way sir." The banker told the sponge.
SpongeBob nervously laughed as he turned around, "ALRIGHT, GIVE ME THE MONEY!"
"Will that be from your savings or checking account, sir?" The banker asked.
"Uh, savings."
"May I please see some identification?"
"There you go," SpongeBob handed the banker a membership card for a Mermaid Man & Barnacle Boy club.
"Sir, we are showing a balance of zero dollars and zero cents for your account."
"Barnacles."
Walter & Paul were both able to slip away from their teams for a few seconds, since both of the teams were hiding out at the bank.
"Paul, trust me, I have paid close enough attention that I happen to know one certain teammate on your team's weakness." Walter told the Pokemon trainer.
"That so?" Was all Paul said.
"You could stand to be more of a team player, kid." Walter told him.
"Hmph, I typically work alone." Paul told White bluntly. "Enough about me anyways, what are you talking even talking about?"
"I know who to use as our first target…"
Team Flower hid behind some bushes as Paul caught up with them.
"Wow! This is so exciting!" Trucy said with her voice bubbling up. "It's just like in the movies!"
"Trucy…you're way too excited about this…" Penny said worriedly.
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Penny: Huh, weird how Wario didn't give me some extreme advantage again.
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
"Well, I hope my daddy isn't watching cuz otherwise…" Trucy ironically smiled as she said, "That'd be awkward."
Doflamingo's veins slightly showed on his forehead as he said, "What the hell are we waiting for, let's break this joint already."
"We have to wait for Daffy to set that smoke bomb off," Reuben reminded Mingo. "Don't ya remember, pal?"
"And what could that duck do that I couldn't do better?" Doflamingo asked.
"For starters, he…" Reuben stopped as Doflamingo glared daggers at him.
"You're dead when we get back to the cruiser." Doflamingo whispered into Reuben's ear.
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Reuben: …mommy…
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
At the bank, it looked…basically like how you'd imagine a bank to look really. Can't exactly come up with a really descriptive way to describe the bank. Anyways, the people were just minding their own business, until Qwark burst through the doors.
"Alright everyone, hands in the air! For none of you even stand a ghost of a chance here!" Qwark told everyone while pointing his ray gun at everyone.
"AHHHHHHHHH!" Everyone in the bank were running at each other, screaming while the bankers went back to call 911.
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Qwark: What can I say, old habits die hard when you're a former criminal.
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Usopp came in afterwards while the whole bank started devolving into chaos, "Come on, Qwark! We were supposed to sneak in and everything!"
Qwark then replied, "Whoops…this means we'll have to resort to plan b then."
Usopp grinned. "Heck yeah! You know what, I can forgive that since plan b is SO MUCH COOLER!"
Qwark grabbed Usopp and ran out of the bank. Waluigi & Marceline were beside the bank watching.
"Wah!? Why is the chump with the carrot nose running out of the bank!?" Waluigi said in annoyance.
"I dunno, purple guy," Marceline replied. "Maybe this is some strategy or…WHOA!"
"WAHHHHHH!"
Qwark hopped on Marceline & Waluigi's shoulders while Ted got up on top of Qwark's head.
"What in the world is-a-this!?" Waluigi complained.
"Glad you asked Mister Toothpick," Usopp told Waluigi. "Because this is the Pirate Docking 6 Big Emperor 2 baby!"
"Now that right there is a badass name if I've ever heard of one," Ted gushed. "We look like we can kick some ass and take names here!"
Meanwhile, a certain pirate crew Usopp was in was watching this all play out on a projector snail.
"Hey! Usopp totally stole my idea!" A blue-haired cyborg said. "That is so un-super!"
"This again?" A gloomy woman chuckled while rolling her eyes.
Walter & Hot Dog Water walked up and saw whatever the hell this was.
"Hey, you guys!" Usopp called out to the duo. "We still need a left hand! Why don't either of you hop on!"
"...no…" Walter said bluntly.
"Huh!? No!?" Usopp & Qwark both said in shock.
"This is a complete embarrassment…as goddamn living beings, you should all be ashamed…" Walter told them coldly.
"AS. LIVING. BEINGS!?" Qwark & Ted's jaws dropped at Walter's comment.
"No! Not again!" Usopp whined. "And I didn't need to hear it from the druggie."
"It…hurts even more the second time…" The cyborg said while sobbing.
The dark haired woman laughed at White's remark, "Glad someone agrees with me."
After Walter harshly rejected Usopp's offer, Waluigi & Marceline threw Qwark off of their shoulders.
"WAH! That has to be one of the most humiliating things to ever happen to Waluigi!" Waluigi said in rage. "And that is saying a lot."
"Yeah…hate to say it, Usopp, but this plan just isn't it." Marceline said with slight remorse.
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Marceline: Though, it does sound like something Finn & Jake would love to do *light laugh*.
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
"How the hell have the pigs not been called yet?" Walter wondered, right before a smoke bomb went off inside the bank.
Walter smirked as that had happened.
"White, what have you got up your sleeve?" Marcie asked in concern.
As the smoke bomb went off, everyone in the bank besides the contestants had to run out. Team Flower (minus Makoto) ran in after Daffy set the bomb off. All of Team Flower were currently wearing ski masks, even though anyone would recognize a talking taco if they saw it twice.
"Nice job, Daffy!" Trucy praised.
"Guess this will do." Doflamingo grumbled.
"C'mon, now we gotta find the safe!" Taco told everyone.
Team Flower rushed over to the counters, Paul was able to call out Ursaring to break the glass. Daffy, Amy, Trucy, & Reuben went over the desk, and Daffy gave the rest of the team a thumbs up.
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Doflamingo: Reuben better not screw it all up, if he knows what's good for him.
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
"Guess we should leave it up to them now." Penny said as the rest of Team Flower stood by.
Paul smirked as he jumped over the desk too. Everyone else looked at each other in confusion.
"That guy is definitely plotting something isn't he?" Taco commented.
Team Mushroom ran in shortly afterwards.
Ted coughed, "Man, what the hell happened here?"
"Those cheaters on the other team must have used a smoke bomb." Waluigi explained.
"HEY! We were here first!" Taco yelled at Team Mushroom, "The money is ours!"
"AHHHH! DOFLAMINGO!" Usopp screeched as he spotted the aforementioned pirate.
"Hey now, you three are outnumbered," Qwark pointed out. "And none of you are capable enough to take someone like me on."
Qwark ran over to punch Doflamingo, but the latter used a bunch of strings to tie Qwark up.
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Qwark: That went better in my head.
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
"Ha! All of you think that you can take me on?" Doflamingo asked. "What a joke."
"Pssst, guys." Usopp whispered to Ted & Hot Dog Water since they were the closest to him, "You go on ahead, I'll keep Doffy distacted."
"You sure you're not gonna shit yourself, Pinocchio boy?" Ted whispered back.
"WHA-," Usopp almost yelled and blew his cover, "I mean, I'll have you know I'm a great pirate captain! Th-th-th-this should be a piece of cake…"
"Fine, I already know some things about robbing banks from my time in jail," Marcie added.
Doflamingo fought off Marceline & Waluigi as the latter two tried to get over the counter.
"Take–a-this, pinky!" Waluigi threw a bob-omb at Doflamingo's face.
"DON'T YOU LOSE, DOFFY!" Taco yelled, "WE HAVE TO WIN IT THIS TIME!"
"You sure are competitive." Penny sweatdropped.
The bob-omb did nothing as Doflamingo rebuilt his face with his strings. "You really thought that would defeat me? Give me a break."
"And there's no way you can take us all on." Marceline told Doflamingo, "Heck, Usopp & I beat you last challenge."
"That doesn't count." Doflamingo gritted his teeth, "The both of you won through sheer dumb luck. But it won't happen this time. Your luck has ran out."
Right as Doflamingo said that, Usopp could be heard, "SPECIAL ATTACK, GREEN STAR! GROW UP!"
A giant plant monster sprung up from the ground and started attacking the remaining members of Team Flower.
"Alright, you two!" Usopp called to Ted & Marcie, "Hurry!"
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Walter: He's relying on two of my alliance members? If I didn't already have a target in mind, that would be a bold move.
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Ted & Marcie nodded as they both bolted for the desk. They were long gone by the time Doflamingo sliced the plant into pieces.
"Well, well, looks like the little sniper wants to be next." Doflamingo licked his lips as he looked straight at Usopp.
"Heh heh…I mean…come on…it's all part of the game…right?" Usopp was shaking.
Doflamingo wasn't having any of it as he immediately started chasing Usopp. The latter screamed as he ran away.
"I'll go in after those two," Marceline told her team as she into the back, following Ted & Hot Dog Water.
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Taco: Come on, this is our chance to have a winning streak. I hope Daffy knows what he's doing.
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Doflamingo: You know, I've been so focused on that damn sniper, that I haven't checked up on good ol' Marcie in a while. Oh, I'll get around to it, I will.
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Daffy, Amy, Trucy, & Reuben ran through some kind of vault. Everything was grey or silver, shelves were all over the place, and the room itself was huge with a high ceiling.
Daffy's eyes turned to dollar signs as he said, "WOW! IMAGINE JUST HOW MUCH MOOLA WE COULD LOOT FROM THIS PLACE! IT'LL BE MINE AND ALLLLL MINE!"
"Correction, Daffy," Trucy responded. "It'll be Wario's."
"Yeah, yeah, sure," Daffy waved that off. "But I could keep some of it. Wario can get a little bit, and I'll take the rest!"
"If ya wanna get your head shoved through a trumpet, then be my guest, bump beak." Reuben told Daffy.
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Reuben: It's at least nice to get away from that psychopath for once. I'm missing Gantu already.
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
"Bump beak? Are you telling me there's a bump on my beak?" Daffy suddenly went quiet.
"Have you never noticed!?" Amy said, surprised.
"Nah, you're just jealous of my dashing good looks." Daffy told Reuben. "That's why you made up such slander. What do you Disney characters know anyways?"
"What ever ya say, feathers mcgraw." Reube shrugged.
Meanwhile, Ted & Hot Dog Water were following right behind the quartet.
"Hey, Hot Dog Water," Ted said to Marcie. "Where do ya think the edgelord went?"
"I don't know," Hot Dog Water replied. "Not that I care either, the guy's kind of a jerk if you couldn't tell."
The duo ran after the four Team Flower members, up until Ted spotted a computer on a desk, next to some shelves.
"Hey! Now what's this?" Ted ran over to the desktop.
"Ted! We don't have time for this!" Marcie ran after the bear.
"WHAT THE FUCK!?"
Marcien ran even harder and saw Ted on the computer with a disgusted look on his face. Fortunately for Hot Dog Water, the computer wasn't facing her.
"JESUS! THERE'S A SHIT TON OF DISGUSTING FANART OF WALUIGI AND THAT ONE BITCH FROM ANIMAL CROSSING ON HERE!" Ted exclaimed, "OH MY GOD! THERE'S SMUT FANFICS TOO! OH NO! IT'S HORRIBLE! DON'T LOOK AT IT, HOT DOG WATER! I'M GONNA NEED SOME EYE BLEACH! GOD!"
"WHY ARE YOU LOOKING AT THAT COMPUTER ANYWAYS!?" Marcie yelled back.
"I THOUGHT, MAYBE, THAT FOLDER WOULD BE TOO OBVIOUS AND THERE'D BE SOMETHING ON THAT COMPUTER!" Ted tried to reason. "I NEVER THOUGHT I'D SEE, WHAT'S THIS SHIT, 'WALSABELLE' ON HERE!"
"Be quiet!" Hot Dog Water slapped her hand over Ted and dragged him away from the computer. "Do you want someone to hear us?"
Ted pried Marcie's hand off of his mouth, "Who makes that stuff anyways?"
Back before the show even started, Mr. Resetti was on that computer while working at the bank. You see, things have been rough for him ever since he was fired from his anti-resetting duties.
"Man, those damn goons better enjoy this Walsabelle fanart." Resetti told himself, "This could be a new career for myself! Kids and their new-fangled auto saves…"
"Whatcha doin', Resetti?" A small yellow dog asked out of nowhere.
"ISABELLE!? UHHHHHHHH, NOOOOOTHIIIIIING." Resetti blurted out.
"Ohhhhhh-kay? I just wanted to say hi." Isabelle left.
Resetti then thought as Isabelle left, "You and that purple guy better start smoochin' before I die, YA HEAR ME, ISABELLE!"
Daffy, Amy, Trucy, & Reuben made it to a giant golden vault door. All four stared at it for what seemed like hours. The gold was just so damn shiny. But the one problem was that a huge ass buff guy was guarding the vault door.
"Grrrrrrrrrr…." The buff guy growled.
"Yikes! How do you think we'll get past that guy?" Amy asked.
"Just watch this," Daffy said as he put a blonde wig on, and then handed Reuben a diaper.
"Is that a diaper!?" Reuben asked with his voice raised.
Daffy dressed up as a schoolgirl and skipped up to the buff guy.
"GET OUT, INTRUDER! OR ELSE I WILL SMASH YOU!" The buff guy yelled at Daffy.
Trucy held back a laugh, "S-smash!?"
"Talk about a dirty mind." Amy sighed.
Daffy replied to the buff guy with, "But I'm just an innocent schoolgirl and this is my baby brother."
Daffy stretched his arm out and grabbed Reuben. "PUT ON THE DIAPER!"
"...I'M GONNA SMASH YOU!" The buff guy raised his fist as Daffy & Reuben hugged each other and screamed.
"Hello, it's me, the illusive Mister Hat!" Trucy got Mr. Hat out and made the latter go up to the buff guy.
"...I'M GONNA SMASH THE WEIRD PUPPET MAN!"
"Oh no, don't smash me! Miss Trucy would be heartbroken if I went, ho ho!" Trucy spoke for Mr. Hat.
"GET BACK HERE!" The buff guy ran after Mr. Hat as the latter ran away.
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Daffy: My schoolgirl plan is still better. Reuben should've put the diaper on like I told him.
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Reuben: I don't care what kinda plan the duck cooks up, I am not wearing a diaper.
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Amy & Trucy came out of hiding.
"That was a great plan, Trucy," Amy told the magician.
"Just doing my thing as a magician," Trucy shrugged.
"Humph," Daffy said bitterly before turning over to the vault. "Well, how do ya think we get this thing open?"
Suddenly, the quartet heard a voice.
"Magmortar! Melt that door with a flamethrower!"
The four members of Team Flower jumped right out of the way as a huge red fire monster shot a flamethrower out of two arm cannons. The golden vault door melted right down to the ground. Standing behind the monster, was Paul.
"Couldn't open that door yourselves?" Paul scoffed. "You four are pathetic."
"We could have done that without your help, thank you very much." Amy stepped forward. "Weren't you supposed to stay behind?"
"Yeah, I'm not gettin' involved with this," Reuben said before running into the vault to grab some loot.
Suddenly, Marceline appeared out of thin air as she started laughing.
"Man, thank you guys for melting that door for me," Marceline wiped a tear from her eye. "I really appreciate it by the way."
"Hey, who said we were doing it for you!" Daffy argued.
"I did, now if you excuse me…" Marceline dove for the gold and started grabbing every coin she could.
Daffy & Trucy dove in too to grab some money. Fortunately for Marceline, Ted & Marcie ran in just in time.
"Sorry for the wait, Lin," Hot Dog Water tole Marceline. "But someone decided to wast time."
"It's fine, really," The vampire queen told Marcie. "Less talking more grabbing."
Paul walked off after Amy argued with him. Amy was still pretty annoyed after having that argument. But in the distance, she saw something or someone who looked familiar.
"Huh? Is that…Sonic?" Amy looked and in reality, it was a Weavile that had cardboard quills poorly taped on. 'No no no, pull it together, I promised myself that I would get over that habit…"
Suddenly, the Weavile started showing off, making itself even more irresistible for Amy.
Amy shut her eyes tightly as she tried to resist, but finally, "SOOOOOOOOONNNNNNIIIIIIIIIIIIC!"
Amy ran right over to the Weavile, but the latter quickly ran and Amy slammed right into a big red button.
"SONIIIIIC! WHERE ARE YOOOOUUUU?" Amy called out before a siren started blaring. "...oh no, don't tell me…."
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Walter: *laughing* That girl took the bait, line and sinker.
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Paul: I can't believe that actually worked…does this girl need glasses?
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
"WHAT THE!?" Daffy screamed as the sirens went off.
"OKAY WE'VE GOTTA MOVE!" Marceline yelled at her teammates as everyone in the vault bolted out.
Guard Robots came flooding into the storage room as Marceline fended them off with her axe. Daffy pulled a hammer out of hammerspace and started smashing the robots too. Amy ran up to the group.
"OH NO! I'M SORRY! I'M SO SORRY!" Amy cried.
"Sorry!?" Reuben blurted out.
"Uhhhhhh, I thought I saw Sonic…and well…old habits die hard they say…" Amy explained.
"You cost us the challenge…OVER A CELEBRITY CRUSH!?" Daffy screamed at Amy.
"Hey, Daffy, we haven't lost yet!" Trucy told the duck.
"Ya sure about that, losers?" Ted said as both he & Hot Dog Water were being carried by Marceline who was flying faster than Team Flower was.
"See you at the Cruiser." Marceline said mockingly.
There was a silence as the quartet kept going.
"Don't…think…I…can…run…any…more….." Reuben was out of breath.
"Where's Paul anyways?" Trucy asked.
Paul returned his Weavile to its pokeball, as he then commanded Magmortar to blast a hole in the wall. The trainer returned Magmortar and sent Honchkrow out.
"Honchkrow, get us out of here." Paul told his pokemon bluntly.
Paul rode on Honchkrow to get out, but instead of going back to the Wario Cruiser, he decided to stay up in the air for a while.
"I'd hate to lose on purpose," Paul thought. "But it'll have to do."
The rest of Team Mushroom & Team Flower (minus Judy, Olivier, Makoto, Usopp, & Doflamingo) were now fighting off the guard robots Amy accidentally sent. Quark shot one with his blaster, while Waluigi was punching and kicking them.
"WHERE DID THESE ROBOTS COME FROM!?" Taco yelled out.
"Wah! We're outnumbered," Waluigi said. "We're not going to make it."
"Not without a fight that is," Walter pulled out a block of meth.
"How is meth going to help us!?" Taco asked.
"That's where you're mistaken," Walter told Taco. "This…is not meth."
Walter threw the block of meth on the ground, and the whole bank BLEW UP! Marceline was able to fly out just in time to deliver the money to Wario.
"Wah? You did it, huh? Well, Team Mushroom wins!" Wario announced.
Paul flew back to the cruise on Honchkrow, "Looks like I was too late."
"Okay, what happened?" Penny asked.
"Let's just say…a certain someone screwed things up real badly." Reuben told the inventor.
All of a sudden, the cast could hear police sirens go off, and they all gunned straight for the Wario Cruiser. As for where Usopp & Doflamingo are…
Usopp was still running.
"Keep running! I love playing with my prey!" Doflamingo said psychotically.
"WHEN WILL THIS NIGHTMARE EEEEEEEND!" Usopp exclaimed.
Later at night, in another smaller storage room of the cruiser, were a bunch of folders containing the applications that each contestant filled out. Not just that, but there was…information in those files that Wario kept for…future challenges. Outside the door to those files, were ninja girls, Kat & Ana, guarding them.
"Hey Kat," Ana said to her sister. "Do you know what's inside this room?"
"I dunno," Kat replied. "Wario just seemed to really want us to keep the thing inside safe."
Ana thought for a moment before saying, "Oh! Oh! What if it's some ancient ninja technique!?"
Kat then replied, "Or maybe, it's some super special microgame!"
"Now I wanna look and see!" Ana said while jumping up and down.
"Calm down, Ana." Kat let out a light chuckle, "One little peak won't hurt."
Kat & Ana creaked the door open a little, but before either could go in.
WHAM!
POW!
The ninja girls were both knocked unconscious while having swirls for eyes. Suddenly, Ted appeared out of the shadows with a baseball bat in hand.
"Those were both kids, y'know." Hot Dog Water said as she came out the shadows too. "I don't know about you, but I'd rather not get charged for attacking children."
"Hey, a little whack on the head never hurt anyone." Ted defended himself. "Except for the people getting whacked, but that's no skin off my nose."
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Ted: Trust me, I can kick some ass no matter how old you are.
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
"If they're old enough to guard top secret information, then they're old enough to get a little bonkin'" Ted continued as he and Marcie went inside the storage room.
It was pretty dusty and dull inside, but right on the desk in the back, was an oversized manilla folder.
"Wow, what a great place to put such an important folder." Hot Dog Water remarked, "Just right there in plain sight being guarded by two little kids."
"Let's not give the host any ideas, girl." Ted told Marcie. "Just take the files and run."
Team Flower were all gathered up in the bigger storage room. This time, Mona was the one handing the trophies out.
"Hey, guys, Mona here!" Mona told the team. "Wario told me that he wants me to handle the eliminations from now on since he doesn't feel like learning all of your names."
"Figures," Taco mumbled.
"Well, you all know the drill now," Mona smiled. "So I'll announce the first few who are safe."
"Daffy."
"Taco."
"Trucy."
"Penny."
"Reuben."
"And Doflamingo."
Paul, Amy, & Makoto all remained.
"Now for the last three here, Paul, you couldn't deliver the money in time, and there's some speculation going on about you stalling out time. Makoto, you didn't participate in the challenge, which gave your team a slight disadvantage, and Amy, you were the one who alerted security and indirectly caused the whole bank to get blown up. Now that that's out of the way, Makoto, you're safe."
Makoto grabbed her trophy.
"Now the last person safe is…
…
…
…
…
…
…
…
…
…
…
…
…
…
…
…
…
…
…
…
…
…
…
…
…
…Paul."
Amy looked down in shame, "I am so so sorry, guys. I really did think I was over my whole obsession with Sonic."
"I wish you the best on that, Amy." Makoto told the hedgehog.
Right before the trap door was activated, Amy saw Walter in the distance. She very clearly saw that Walter had a real good shit-eating grin on his face too.
"Wait why is…" Amy thought before she gasped, "GUYS WAIT NO! I WAS TRICKED, WALTER…"
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Taco: What was that about Walter? Did that meth-head sabotage us AGAIN!?
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Paul: *facepalming* He just couldn't resist. If Amy had much more time, we would've been screwed.
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
The trapdoor was activated, causing Amy to fall out the Wario Cruiser.
"I'M INNOCENT, IIIIIINOOOOOCEEEEEEEENT!"
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Makoto: Well I don't exactly know why I'm being allowed to vote considering I was tied up all episode. But…I guess I'll say Paul knowing how much of a dick he is.
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Paul: This is what happens when you take the bait, farewell Amy.
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Daffy: Whoop-de-doo! Who do I vote off, hmmm, it's not like the Rose girl screwed all of us over.
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Penny: I don't know, Amy is my friend…so…sorry Makoto.
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Votes Altogether;
Amy: Reuben, Daffy, Paul, Taco
Makoto: Penny, Trucy
Paul: Makoto, Doflamingo, Amy
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Hot Dog Water & Ted entered Walter's room where the latter and Paul were both waiting.
"Tch, took you two long enough." Paul said bluntly.
"Always the patient one, I see." Hot Dog Water rolled her eyes.
"Haven't ya seen the movies, edgelord? It's never that easy." Ted told the pokemon trainer.
"This isn't a movie, furrball, this is real life." Paul told Ted. "Waste time again, and I'll make sure you'll get it."
"Ya wanna fight huh, edgelord?" Ted pointed (or at least did something similar to pointing since he doesn't have any fingers) at Paul. "I'll give ya a fight! C'mere!"
"You don't know what you're in for," Paul sighed. "Electivire, come on-"
"Enough you two," Walter interrupted. "If those damn 'pokeymans' wreck this place, I'm not paying for it. Now hand over the files."
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Ted: What a little bitch. Sends out his pokeymons instead of facin' me head on. At least Johnny had the balls to fight me!
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Paul: We're gonna have to get rid of that bear sooner or later. Marcie seems reliable enough, and Walter's smart enough. The bear's only gonna be a handicap in the long run.
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Walter looked through the files as Ted & Marcie peeked beside him.
"You're tellin' me, Pinocchio bitch boy is a member of a pirate crew where the captain's worth 3 million dollars!" Ted said in shock.
"Not dollars, Ted." Marcie pinched the bridge of her nose. "Isn't it obvious that these universes have their own currency?"
"So what, blueberries, dollars, same thing!"
Walter flipped through the pages some more, and finally landed right at the page of Judy Hopps.
"There." Walter murmured.
"How did you know about these files anyways, Walter?" Hot Dog Water asked.
"It was not hard to fish that information out of that dog and cat, I'll tell you." Walter replied.
Walter landed right on Judy's page, "This'll do very nicely. Ya did good kid, and I guess you too, bear."
Walter finally tossed some meth over to Ted, and Ted's mouth was agape. "FINALLY! YOU'RE THE BESTEST FRIEND ANYONE COULD ASK FOR, WALTIE! Well, besides Johnny of course."
Paul snatched the meth right out of Ted's hands and threw it out the window.
"HEY! WHAT THE HELL, EDGELORD!?" Ted exclaimed.
"The last thing YOU need is drugs, and I don't think anyone wants to deal with that." Paul told Ted harshly. "You're already enough of a pain as is."
Ted jumped up into the air and started beating on Paul. Paul tried to pull Ted away from his face, but the latter kept on going.
"HEY! HEY! STOP IT, TED!" Hot Dog Water exclaimed, but Ted wasn't listening.
Finally, the Pokemon trainer socked Ted right in the face, and sent the latter flying.
"FOR THE LOVE OF GOD, WILL YOU TWO STOP THIS DAMN FIGHTING!" Walter exclaimed.
Finally, Ted & Paul both stopped.
"He started it." Paul remarked.
"Oh, make yourself the victim, huh?" Ted replied.
"The meeting's dismissed, good night everyone. Good job on getting the Rose girl out." Heisenberg called the meeting off, and led the rest of his alliance out the door.
Once Ted & Paul were gone, Doflamingo snuck right up on Hot Dog Water. Marcie gasped as she saw the pink-clad pirate.
"How's your progress on being my little mole so far?" Doflamingo asked.
'Uh, well, I was able to get some pages of the files for you." Marcie gave Doflamingo some folders from that file she got for Walter.
"Ahh, now let's see." Doflamingo flipped through the pages. "And there it is."
Doflamingo laughed as he had Walter's profile right in his hands.
20th: Mokey Mouse (Mokey's Show) [Team Flower]
19th: Kirby (Kirby) [Team Mushroom]
18th: Amy Rose (Sonic the Hedgehog) [Team Flower]
Notes:
Welp, and that's the end of Episode 4. This originally was going to be the fear challenge, but I couldn't really figure out what Hot Dog Water or Paul's fears would be. I mean, you can feel free to speculate whatever each character's fears would be if you want. Anyways, we bid farewell to Amy, it's funny that I am very familiar with the Sonic series, but Amy was kinda hard to write honestly. I just didn't really know what to do with her, and Discord definitely called it this time with her elimination. Well, see you all next chapter.
Chapter Text
Merla once worked as King Toadstool of the Mushroom Kingdom's courtier. She played an important role with helping the king and the queen make important decisions or with escorting them around the Mushroom Kingdom. Merla's magic was an important factor too, and it was another reason that she was important to keep around the castle. At least…until one faithful day…
"What do you mean I'm being let go!?" Merla exclaimed.
"Don't take this the wrong way, Merla." Queen Toadstool told the mage, "This is very much for your own good."
"My own good!? I've been taking care of this kingdom before his majesty was even married!" Merla argued. "There's no one else qualified to be the royal courtier but me!"
"Merla, the King of Sarasaland is searching for-" King Toadstool got interrupted.
"Heeheeheeheee! I'm not good enough am I? If you won't respect me as the royal courtier," said Merla. "Then you'll just have to respect me as a wicked witch! Hahahahahaaaaaa!"
Merla vanished before the royal couple could explain themselves. The Toadstool royalty would pass on and never get to explain the truth to their assistant. Their granddaughter, Peach, would take the throne many years later, and Merla slowly became nothing more than a fading memory.
"Well," the crystal told Wario in an annoyed tone. "I hope you spend your savings wisely from now on!"
"Wario always spends his money wisely!" Wario argued, "And I don't need any sass from you, missy!"
"Oh yes, bribing that shopping area was such a great usage of money." The crystal told Wario sarcastically.
"It's called a mall, genius!" Wario poked the crystal hard, "I had to find some way for Penny's team to win, since those chumps have already lost-a-TWICE now."
"It's still only the beginning of the show, GENIUS," the crystal told Wario back. "Give it time, maybe choose less expensive ways of rigging the game."
"Wah-tever," Wario shrugged. "Let me look through my plans for the next-a-challenge, now that sponge boy cleaned up that-a-disgusting goop those intruders left on the ship."
The crystal shuddered, "Don't even remind me. Great Toadstool, I don't even want to know what universe they came from."
Daffy looked both ways before pulling a portal gun out of hammerspace. He proceeded to shoot it at a wall and jump in. It's also worth noting that Daffy was holding a document in his hands titled, "Dipper Goes to Taco Bell".
Judy & Makoto were in the former's room, as they were sitting on two chairs, discussing something.
"You know, Judy, I would have thought that tying us up and locking us in a closet for entirety of the last challenge, as well as robbing a bank, would be enough grounds for you to formally arrest Wario." Makoto said to the rabbit.
"I…well…it's complicated," Judy explained, "Usually I would easily be able to do it, but things get complicated with universal travel. I'm not technically a cop for the Mushroom Kingdom, so the process for me to arrest someone here takes a lot longer."
"I see…" Makoto replied.
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Makoto: And I thought my universe's legal system was bad. *sighs*
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
"Let's look on the bright side," Judy's ears perked up. "This could get easier once your friend hacks into the security cameras."
"Yeah, Futaba is certainly skilled at what she does," Makoto smiled.
Suddenly, Judy felt a buzz from her phone. She opened it and saw an unknown address texting her. All the address said was "C" and something about "C's" profile was ominous. The profile picture was complete pitch black with the only thing that could be seen was a vague silhouette of the iconic WarioWare bomb.
C: I heard about you two having business with Wario.
"Makoto, this isn't Futaba is it?" Judy asked worriedly.
"Huh? Let me see." Makoto looked at the message in shock. "I don't think so…maybe she doesn't use 'Alibaba' anymore…"
Judy: Uh, hello? Are you Futaba?
C: Nah, I have no clue who this 'Futaba' is. But I can help you two out, I have a score to settle myself. Do we have an agreement?
Judy & Makoto look at each other.
"I don't know…I have a bad feeling about this." Makoto said in a slight whisper.
"I know how you feel, Makoto," Judy told the phantom thief. "But this is our only lead, so I dunno…"
Judy: What score do you have to settle with Wario? This all just seems so suspicious.
C: Don't you worry about that, is it a deal or not?
Judy & Makoto looked at each other for a while. Makoto's eyebrows were raised and Judy was biting her thumb. Eventually they both sighed as Judy finally texted 'C' back.
Judy: We're in.
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Judy: I still have a bad feeling about this though.
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Once she got that reply from Judy, Penny's glasses shined as she had a big grin on her face. Penny turned her phone off as she went back to her room.
Unknown to Judy & Makoto, Doflamingo stood in the room next to Judy's and heard everything through the wall.
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Doflamingo: How interesting, those goody two-shoes have formed their own alliance. *chuckles* Oh, I have so much in store for them.
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Doflamingo was reading through Walter's files while grinning.
"Interesting…" Doflamingo muttered.
Reuben, while shaking, walked up to Doflamingo.
"Uh, sir…" Reuben stammered.
"What do you want, minion?" Doflamingo said coldly.
"Er…what are we gonna do now, Doffy ol' chum?" Reuben laughed a little nervously.
"We wait as my little mole spills more some tea about Walter's weaknesses." Doflamingo told his teammate. "Perhaps we could strike by eliminating one of his little team members."
"That sounds nice and all," Reuben replied. "But could you c-care for a sandwich?"
Doflamingo stared at the experiment, before grinning like a mad man.
Sounds of beating and Reuben's screams could be heard from outside Doflamingo's room. Qwark nearly walked past the room, but he slowly backed away as he heard what was going on.
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Qwark: There's some really disturbing stuff going on in there *shudders*.
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Reuben had bumps, bruises, and a black eye as Doflamingo sat down again.
"WHAT WAS THAT FOR!?" Reuben exclaimed.
"For my own amusement, minion." Doflamingo answered. "It's not as if you have any real feelings anyways."
"E-excuse me!?" Reuben yelled out offended.
"All you are is a lab rat created by a shoddy scientist." Doflamingo sneered as he pulled Reuben's files out. "I knew you were useless, but you're a freak of nature too? My, what a joke."
Reuben's eyes twitched as he clenched a fist.
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Reuben: Ohhhh, ya really went there, didn't ya, Mingo.
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Team Mushroom were in the cafeteria, as SpongeBob cooked a ton of Krabby Patties for everyone.
"Man, I can't help bad for you, SpongeBob." Usopp told the fry cook.
"Huh? Why's that?" SpongeBob asked. "I love to serve up patties for everyone."
"No…about the…stuff you had to clean up the other day." Usopp told him.
"You mean the slime?" SpongeBob asked. "Don't worry I just soaked all of that up."
"Does he not know what that 'slime' was?" Judy asked.
"You can tell him, because I'm not." Usopp told her.
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Hot Dog Water: Knowing Wario, I'm shocked he didn't make that the next challenge.
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Meanwhile, Taco met up with Trucy in another corner of the cafeteria.
"Okay, so we can both agree that Walter's up to something, right?" Taco told Trucy.
"Yeah, sounds about right." Trucy said. "He's probably got some evil alliance and he's plotting to take over the whole game or something. I've seen Total Drama before, 'kay."
"Right, then how about we do something about it, damn it!" Taco practically yelled.
"Eh." Trucy shrugged. "I dunno, considering how big Walter's ego is, the alliance will just fall apart on its own."
Taco's jaw dropped. "You…don't care?"
"Look, I know things about running a show, and no one likes when these types of shows turn into 'the bad guy gloats and cheats and stuff and everyone else throws their agency and other conflicts out the window to team up against them. Then all anyone ever talks about is defeating the bad guy until he makes it to the final 3 somehow and gets eliminated' It gets stale fast."
Taco stayed dead silent.
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Taco: Fine, who needs that magic girl anyways. I'll find someone else to team up with.
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
"Anyways, byyyye." Trucy waved. "I need to find someone to be my new magic assistant since Polly & Thena aren't around."
Hot Dog Water sat at a table in the cafeteria alone. Her head was buried in her hands as she groaned loudly.
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Hot Dog Water: Oh no, I'm doing so good right now! I'm only wrapped up with two dangerous guys, and to think I came here to AVOID Mr. E!
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Suddenly, Doflamingo appeared right behind Marcie as if he had just popped out of nowhere.
"Greetings, Miss Fleach." Doflamingo said menacingly.
"AAH! Didn't anyone teach you manners?" Marcie told Mingo in a startled tone.
"Now now, no need to be all snippy." Doflamingo replied. "I only came because I overheard that rabbit and the brat yacking about being in an alliance."
"Please tell me you don't want me to be in another alliance." Marcie said in a tired voice.
"No, we don't need everything crumbling apart due to you being in every alliance," Doflamingo told her. "What I want is for you to pretend to be that Niijima girl's friend, so you can fish all the information about the alliance out of her."
"Oh…"
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Hot Dog Water: Oh god, another job involving pretending to be someone's friend? What would V do if she were in my place?
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
"How am I gonna do that exactly?" Hot Dog Water asked. "From what I've seen, Makoto is definitely not an idiot."
"Get creative, it's no skin off my nose how you do things." Doflamingo then walked back into the shadows, "Ta ta, for now."
"Phew, that was-" Marcie was interrupted.
"Who were you talking to?" Marcie was horrified to find Paul standing right there glaring at her.
"PAUL! Uh…I was just talking…to Daffy! Yeah! He was telling me a really funny story!" Hot Dog Water sweat bullets saying that.
"Funny?" Paul crossed his arms. "You look like you just saw a ghost type."
"Oh did I say funny? I meant he told me a really scary story!" Marcie corrected herself.
"You expect me to believe that idiot can tell a scary story? Give me a break." Paul said bluntly before he walked away, "Just so you know, Marcie, this isn't over, and I will get to the bottom of this."
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Hot Dog Water: …I'm screwed…
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Makoto was at the game room with Trucy, as they were both playing a game of House of the Dead.
"TAKE THIS!" Makoto yelled as the game came to an end.
Once it ended, Trucy said, "Man, I wouldn't have pegged you as being such a gamer."
"Ha, I wouldn't have either." Makoto replied. "I was introduced to the arcade by a friend of mine, and we've gone often."
Trucy noticed Makoto sigh a little and said, "You must miss them, huh?"
"Well, my friends and I went our different paths after…last year." Makoto told the magician. "Kind of like what you told me about 'Polly', was it?"
"His real name's Apollo, but I see." Trucy replied. "I met him a few years ago back when it was just me and my daddy running the Wright Anything Agency. I worked on so many cases with him, like the case of Vera Misham or the case of Wocky Kitaki."
"Cases? As in crime cases?" Makoto's eyebrow raised.
"Yeah, the Wright Anything Agency is also a law firm too." Trucy told Makoto. "What about you? What are your friends like?"
"Well…"
Makoto & Trucy talked for a while as the former told the latter about her group. All while being careful to not mention any Phantom Thief related things. After a while, the duo split off, and Makoto was walking back to her room. The phantom thief then saw Hot Dog Water standing in the rooms lobby.
"Marcie? What are you doing here?" Makoto asked skeptically.
"Hey, I…notice we have similar interests in a way." Marcie replied. "I was hoping we could be…friends?"
Makoto's eyebrows were raised, "What is your game? This all just feels so…out of nowhere."
"I didn't want to be a bother, since you seemed busy." Hot Dog Water lied.
"Well, alright…" Makoto shook hands with Marcie.
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Makoto: There's something going on here. Why would Marcie wait until now to just befriend me straight out the blue like this? I'll play along for now, but if this is some kind of scheme, this "friendship" is ending right there.
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
While Daffy was getting a massage, the Wario Cruiser suddenly shook violently.
"HEY! WOULD YOU ALL KEEP IT DOWN!" Daffy yelled. "I'M TRYING TO RELAX HERE!'
An explosion was heard as the ship shook again.
An announcement came on, "GET OVER HERE RIGHT NOW, YOU LOSERS! THE SHIP IS UNDER ATTACK!"
The cast went to the deck, and saw a pirate ship. The sails were pink and white, and there were cannons shooting right at the Wario Cruiser. The ship shook again as it was shot.
"Tch, are you not even man enough to fend your own ship?" Olivier asked Wario.
"FOR YOUR INFORMATION, BLONDIE, THIS STUPID SHIP DOESN'T HAVE ANY CANNONS!" Wario exclaimed.
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Usopp: Eep! He actually just told Armstrong off.
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
"Hey! No one talks to my lady like that!" Qwark interjected.
"YOUR LADY!?" OIivier sucker punched Qwark in the face. "CALL ME THAT AGAIN, AND YOU WILL REGRET IT!"
"What a bitch." Walter muttered to himself.
Suddenly, the captain of that pirate ship came out. It was a red-haired woman who wore a purple bandana and a purple tank top with dark purple pants. With her was a crew consisting of wolf-like creatures wearing overalls called, snowmen with skulls on their forehead, and crocodiles wearing inflatable tubes. Wario immediately recognized this woman once he saw her.
"NOW WHO IS THAAAAAT!?' Daffy's eyes turned to hearts before he howled like wolf. "HELLLLOOOOOO NURSE!"
Meanwhile, inside the Warner Bros water tower, three whatever-the-hell-they-ares named Yakko, Wakko, & Dot were watching.
"Hey! He totally stole our line!" Yakko & Wakko both complained.
"But also…" Yakko said before he and Wakko both yelled, "HELLLLOOOOO NURSE!"
"Boys…" Dot shook her head.
"WAH! WARIO WAS OUT TANGOING WITH THIS-A-LADY!" Waluigi's eyes also turned into hearts.
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Usopp: If Daffy & long chin are going so gaga for this chick, I don't even wanna think about how Sanji would react.
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
"CAPTAIN SYRUP! I'M GONNA KILL YOU!" Wario screamed.
Syrup laughed, "It's been a long time hasn't it, handsome?"
Mona blushed in envy as she heard that, "H-H-HANDSOME!?"
Syrup winked as she blew a kiss to Wario, "And I see you're putting on some kind of freak show, but no matter, I've come for one thing alone, that crystal."
"OVER MY DEAD BODY!" Wario yelled.
"I knew you'd make things difficult, I always love a stubborn man after all." Syrup replied. "But I'm afraid you have no choice."
"Alright contestants, your challenge is to get that scurvy rat out of here!" Wario commanded everyone.
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Penny: *sighs* Looks like this is another heat of the moment challenge.
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Waluigi: Waaaaaaahhhhhh, Syrup's-a-preeeetttyyyyyy.
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
"Well this should be a piece of cake." Marceline shrugged. "It's just one pirate captain and some henchmen, how hard could this be…"
Suddenly, a GIANT FUCKING SHIP that had a sail with a skull on it. The skull was wearing a clown nose and a flashy pirate hat. The logo was topped off with a sword shaped like a cross behind the skull.
"OH, YOU JUST HAD TO JINX THING DIDN'T YOU, MARCELINE!" Usopp exclaimed.
At the ship was none other than clown pirate himself, Buggy, and a slightly long-haired man with a golden hook named Crocodile.
"Mwhahahahahahaaaaaa! So these are the miscreants you spoke about, Miss Syrup? Mihawk may be busy, but Crocodile and I will give them a very flashy defeat that have them weeping in a flashy manner!" Buggy said to Syrup.
"AHHHHHHHHH! C-C-C-CROCODILE!" Usopp shrieked.
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Usopp: Crocodile AND Doflamingo!? Looks like this is my sign to sit down and be a good boy.
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Trucy: Now I'm really feeling like I'm in a Shipshape Aquarium play. Thena's probably so jealous.
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
"HELLLLOOOOOO NURSE!" Dot said before also fainting upon seeing Crocodile.
"Oh…it's you…" Crocodile ignored Usopp as the former's eyes landed on Doflamingo.
Doflamingo's veins started popping again as Reuben asked. "Ya know this guy!?"
"Unfortunately, I do know this asshole." Doflamingo said with extra venom in his voice.
"Aw come one, Pinocchio," Ted told Usopp off. "You've defeated these guys before haven't ya?"
"Uhhhhh…" Usopp gulped. "The Great Captain Usopp still had to have some help from Luffy…"
"WHERE THE HELL IS LUFFY WHEN YOU NEED HIM!?" Usopp screamed internally.
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Ted: For a pirate captain, he sure is a pussy.
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Suddenly, Olivier stabbed her sword into the ground as she glared at Usopp.
"SOLDIER! YOU WILL NOT COWER IN FEAR LIKE A BLITHERING BABY! I WILL NOT ALLOW SUCH BEHAVIOR, EITHER YOU WILL HELP OR GET OUT OF OUR WAY!"
"EEEK! Y-Y-YES MA'AM!" Usopp saluted while sweating.
"Ha ha, pin-nose just got-a-yelled at!" Waluigi laughed.
"SHUT UP, MISTER UPSIDE DOWN L!" Usopp argued.
Olivier bashed Usopp & Waluigi's heads against each other, "QUIT YOUR ARGUING!"
"BLACK SUGAR GANG, ATTACK!" Syrup commanded as all of her crewmates ran to the Wario Cruiser.
The snowmen and the wolves ran onto the ship first, and in a whole mob too. The snowmen shot tons of snowflakes at the cast. Usopp, Daffy, & Waluigi screamed as they both kept ducking and avoiding the projectiles.
"Let's see how you handle this," Usopp said before yelling, "SPECIAL ATTACK: FLAME STAR!"
Usopp shot his own projectile that set the snowmen on fire. The snowmen all started running around panicking, and one ran into Daffy.
"AAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHH!" Daffy screamed, "I'M ON FIREEEEEEEEEE!"
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Daffy: Yeah, catch me from behind! That's not a dirty trick at all!
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Usopp sneered at Waluigi, "You're welcome, for saving your ass."
"WAH! WALUIGI DIDN'T NEED-A-YOUR HELP!" Waluigi poked Usopp in the chest as he said that.
The duo literally butt heads as more pirates were attacking the ship.
A bunch of armored penguins were swarming the ship now, as Penny was using her water tank to shoot water at all the penguins, knocking them off the cruiser. Wario suddenly appeared behind Penny.
"Penny, take-a-this." Wario handed the inventor an Invincibility Star.
"Wario, I can't-" Penny was interrupted.
"Your salary is at risk, remember? Wahahahahaha!" Wario slid away.
Penny held the star as her hands shook.
Marceline swung her guitar at many mines that were being shot at the cruiser from multiple pelican-like creatures. Those pelicans popped up from the water as everyone else was fighting. The mines kept causing explosions in the water as Marceline kept launching them back from the ship. Some of the mines ended up hitting the pelicans in return.
"YEAH, SUCK ON THAT YOU BIRDBRAINS!" Marceline told the pirates off.
"ELECTIVIRE, THUNDER, NOW!" Paul commanded as Electivire shocked a lot of the wolf enemies.
In return though, Reuben got caught in the crossfire and his fur was sticking straight up making him look like a puffball after the attack.
"How bout you watch where you aim that thing?" Reuben remarked.
"How about you stay out of the way." Paul rudely told the experiment.
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Paul: Don't even ask me what that thing is, my Pokedex hasn't been working on him.
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Judy punched some seal-like pirates as they crowded around her. She was able to jump around and avoid getting hit, while Waluigi shot some tennis balls at other seals.
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Waluigi: See! Told you Waluigi doesn't need help!
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
A Spiked Koopa stormed the ship after that first wave of enemies as he went right up to Walter, Ted, & Hot Dog Water.
"Alright, baldie, I challenge you!" The koopa told White.
"Hmph, you're making a big mistake." Walter scoffed.
"Man, woulda thought you too'd be freakin' out over this guy too." Ted said to Walter & Marcie, "With him being a giant turtle and all."
"At this point, I'm used to the damn insanity here." Walter bluntly told the bear.
"What he said," Marcie added.
"Oh no, I mean it, you'd better say your prayers." The koopa started preparing his attack, "YYYYYEEEEEOOOOOOOWWWWWWWWCCCCHHHHHHHH!"
Walter had whipped his gun out and shot the Koopa in the leg.
"AAAAAAAAAHHHHHH! WHAT THE HECK, MAN!? DON'T YOU KNOW IT'S RUDE TO INTERRUPT SOMEONE'S ATTACK!" The Koopa exclaimed.
"Say my name," Walter commanded the koopa as he aimed his gun at him.
"H-how am I supposed to kno-" The koopa started before Walter cocked a gun. "UHHHHHHH, MISTER BURGER? EEEEEEEEEK!"
Walter shot again, but this one missed the Koopa, "You're goddamn wrong!"
"Hey ya got two turns, now let me have one!" Ted climbed up on Walter.
"WHAT THE FUCK! GET OUT OF MY FACE BEAR!" Walter exclaimed before all that could be heard was muffled screams as Ted grabbed the gun.
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Hot Dog Water: I'm not even gonna get involved.
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Ted: I just wanna do some shootin' too!
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Now the whole cast and Syrup's crew were constantly dodging bullets, and one hit Daffy, dislocating his bill behind his head.
"You're a desssssspicable one, author." Daffy turned to the screen and talked to no one like a stupid dumb loser, "AND I AIN'T A STUPID DUMB LOSER!"
"Grrrrr, how DARE you all make mincemeat out of my darling crew!" Syrup growled.
"Ha-ha! Ready to give up-a-yet, witch?" Wario laughed at Syrup.
"Oh no, we're just getting started, my love." Syrup said as Buggy laughed.
"Now it's time for the my flashy crew to shine in like a flashy star in the sky!" Buggy said before yelling, "CROSS GUILD ATTAAAAAACK!"
The Cross Guild ran to the Cruiser, as some of the cast ran to the Cross Guild's ship in return.
"You guys go on ahead and deal with Crocodile," Usopp hid behind a random crate, "I'll just keep watch in case of emergency."
Olivier grabbed Usopp by the nose and started dragging the sniper.
"Ow ow ow, not the nose!" Usopp yelled.
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Usopp: Is it just me, or does blondie's voice sound…familiar.
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Olivier: If there's one person I will not tolerate, it's a coward.
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
"HEY! WHY AREN'T' YOU TWO-A-FIGHTING?" Wario yelled at Marcie, Makoto, and Reuben.
"News flash, I'm a normal girl and not a superpowered freak like the rest of this cast." Marcie sassed.
"Yeah, about the same here." Makoto agreed.
"And it's sandwich time too," Reuben said as he made more sandwiches. "Want some mayo?"
"I already told you! Wario doesn't need those horrible sAnDwIcHeS, when he has-a-garlic!" Wario told Reuben off.
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Reuben: Sheesh, guess some people just have no taste.
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Makoto: I would probably be more useful if I had my metaverse powers right now.
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
"I'm not sure," The crystal appeared out of nowhere again. "You could do with a diet."
"Oh how original, a fat joke!" Wario rolled his eyes. "Wario will have you know this is all-a-muscle!"
"Looks like some pretty flabby muscle." Hot Dog Water said as Reuben burst out laughing.
Marcie then approached Makoto, "Uh, hey girl, uh, what's…cracking?" The former groaned, "Ugh, that was awful."
"Oh, hello Marcie." Makoto replied. "Is there anything you need?"
"Just wanted to chat," Hot Dog Water stood next to Makoto, trying to think of a conversation topic, "Why did you join the game, anyways?"
"Oh," Makoto's eyes slightly widened, "Er…I wanted to win the money for my sister. She and I live together."
Marcie gave a skeptical look as Makoto's tone seemed suspicious.
"How about you?" Makoto asked.
Hot Dog Water sighed. "I'm not in a very good situation at home. I joined as a way to get away from that."
"Do you want to talk about it?" Makoto asked.
"Not really." Marcie replied.
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Makoto: Perhaps, Marcie doesn't have any ulterior motives. I'll still keep my guard up in case, but I think we could get along.
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
As everyone was running, Taco stopped Daffy to ask him a question.
"Where the heck did you go this morning anyways, I didn't see you anywhere!" Taco said.
"Oh, I was just getting some revenge." Daffy winked at the camera.
"On those intruders?" Taco guessed.
"AHHHHHHHHHHHH! MAKE IT STOOOOOP!"
Daffy was forcing multiple characters to listen to a reading of 'Dipper Goes to Taco Bell', and said characters were screaming, and some had their eyes on fire. Well, except for one person that Daffy had fished out of some gray tub.
"Oh man this is so hot…" This freak said before he-
"Uh huh, why aren't any pirates attacking us yet anyways?" Taco said.
"Because you two are not even worth attacking." Buggy laughed at the duo.
"WHAT! I'M PLENTY WORTH ATTACKING!" Taco yelled out offended.
"What are you supposed to be, sentient food?" Buggy mocked. "Please, I could eat you for breakfast!"
"Big talk for a guy with the biggest, reddest nose that I've ever seen." Daffy rolled his eyes.
Buggy stopped laughing. "What…did…you…say…about…my…NOSE!?"
"Wait, is that thing real?" Taco asked. "Like not a fake nose at all?"
"I'M GOING TO KILL YOU, BASTARDS!"
Taco & Daffy screamed as they both ran away, and Buggy gave chase.
"HOW ABOUT YOU ALL GET A TASTE OF A MUGGY BALL, MWUAHAHAHAHAHAHAAAAAA!"
Buggy shot a tiny ball out of his shoe, Daffy & Taco ran inside the cruise, then ran to the right. The ball hit a wall inside of the Wario Cruiser and…

Viewer Mail Time:
"Greetings Earthlings!" Orbulon said to the audience, "For it is Viewer Mail Time!"
Orbulon stuck his hand through a sack of mail and pulled a letter out. "Seems as if this one's from Sally, age 14 from Ohio, 'Dear Orbulon, aren't you interrupting the story at the most suspenseful part?' Why, the answer is yes, Sally. Yes I do appear to be doing just that. Keep the cards, letters, and hams coming!"

Taco: God, that was close…

Doflamingo immediately went for Crocodile as soon as he got on Buggy's ship. The former gave a scratch to Crocodile, who then blocked it with his hook. Crocodile then sent a wave of sand at Doflamingo who used his strings to block the sand.
"Tch, ready to give up?" Crocodile asked the Heavenly Yaksha.
"Give up? Do you even know who I am?" Doflamingo replied.
The two went at it some more, as Qwark stormed on board.
"C'mon out, you scallywags! Or are you too afraid of a hero such as I?" Qwark called out to Buggy's crew.
A man with a 3 on his head then said, "You? Please, a nincompoop like you could never hope to match up with an artist such as I, Galdino!"
"What's with that 3 on your head?" Qwark asked slightly concerned. "My gads this looks like some strange growth on your head."
"WHA-IT'S MY HAIR YOU OAF!" Galdino exclaimed.
"Could've fooled me," Olivier interjected.
"WHY YOU…" Galdino clenched his teeth.
"Ahh, I see you do have a sense of humor, eh, Armstrong?" Qwark lightly elbowed Olivier.
"Stay focused, Qwark." Olivier told the man in green, "Who knows what sort of powers this strange man has."
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Qwark: Please, I've faced worse. Like two angry monkeys after I mated with their relatives.
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
"My, what a mouth the both of you have." A woman named Alvida who was holding a mace walked up as well.
"I don't need to be lectured by a pirate," Olivier told Alvida off. "So spare me your words."
"I see that you're the uptight type, oh well, we should be able to make quick work of you and that brute."
Galdino shot some wax, while Qwark shot at it with his blaster. The wax ended up getting on Qwark's hand, and the galactic superhero tried to pull it off. This ended up getting wax on his other hand.
Galdino laughed, "For you see, buffoon, you can't get my wax off! It'll harden and soon you'll be incapable of even holding that little toy gun of your-OWWWWWWW!"
As soon as the wax hardened, Qwark smashed Galdino in the face with it. "Is this what you call 'art?' Please, it doesn't even have my signature on it. Disgraceful!"
Meanwhile, Doflamingo & Crocodile were still clashing. Crocodile stabbed Doflamingo in the stomach with his hook, but the latter had used his devil fruit powers in time to make his stomach into strings. Doffy flew off of Crocodile's hook and sent waves of strings after the former leader of Baroque Works. The waves hit Crocodile, but he was able to make the strings phase through him with his sand logia powers.
"Give it up, Doflamingo." Crocodile told his opponent. "I am practically invincible, I have damn near won at this point and…"
Every contestant was then forced to listen to Crocodile monologue as they were fighting. They were getting more and more annoyed listening to all of it.
"Does this guy monologue on a normal basis!?" Hot Dog Water asked.
"Huh? Thought every pirate captain did this?" Usopp said, "Well, except for Luffy."
Doflamingo shot a string ball at Crocodile, who sliced it in half with his hook.
"Got me monologuing, eh?" The latter snarked. "What a cheap shot."
"Cheap, please, you don't even know about haki do you?" Doflamingo mocked his opposer. "In reality, I've almost won through my…"
"Blah blah blah, blah blah…"
"Wah, Waluigi can't take it anymore with these-a-monologues!" Waluigi yelled out.
Ted then yelled out to Crocodile & Doflamingo, "Just fuck already!"
The two former warlords cocked their heads right towards Ted.
"Yeesh, you two gettin' all up in your little dick measuring contest and acting like an old married couple, I'd think you two were either exes or hate-fuckers." Ted told them.
Moments later, the bear was blasted by a sand wave, and the cruiser was then flooded with sand.
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Trucy: I dunno why, but I have a feeling someone isn't gonna be happy about this.

Daisy was in New Donk City, telling Mayor Pauline about her cruiser being stolen.
"I need you to organize a search party, so that we can track fatso down and…"
"Daisy…I don't know if you'd want to see this." Pauline gave her friend a nervous smile.
Daisy looked at the TV in Pauline's office, and saw the wave of sand hit her ship, and the giant hole in it too.
"...he is so dead!"
Daffy & Taco were still running away from Buggy's disembodied hands and head.
"HE'S GAINING ON US!" Daffy yelled to Taco
"YEAH! LIKE I DON'T ALREADY FRICKEN KNOW THAT!" Taco yelled back.
"YOU WILL PAY FOR MAKING FUN OF MY NOSE!" Buggy shouted.
"I have an idea, quick, in here!" Daffy pulled Taco into a random room.
Buggy ran past it for a moment, before walking back.
"Oh, how stupid do you think I flashily am?" Buggy rolled his eyes. "Insult my nose AND my intelligence, why don't you."
Daffy burst out of the door in a wig and dress as he held a pair of scissors. "Care for a trim, sir?"
"What the-WHO ARE YOU!? AND WHERE IS THAT DAMN DUCK?" Buggy responded.
"Oh, darling!" Daffy fake gasped. "Your hair looks like an absolute mess! Here, I'll help you look absolutely stylish!"
Taco, who was also in disguise, pushed Buggy straight into the room. Albeit, The former was definitely pushing as hard as she could there.
"HEY! BE GENTLE! I'M ALREADY FLASHY ENOUGH I DON'T NEED A MAKEOVER!" Buggy yelled before he was pushed in.
Taco pushed Buggy right into the chair, as Daffy yanked on one of Buggy's ponytails. The duck then spun Buggy while cutting it so fast that it looked like a tornado of scissors.
"EASY ON THE PONYTAILS! THEY'RE A FLASHY TRADEMARK OF MINE!" Buggy complained.
Once Daffy was done, Buggy had looked like he was run over by a lawn mower. His hair was so unevenly cut, that Buggy's eyes went to the size of plates as he saw himself in the mirror.
"YOU QUACK BARBER! I OUGHTA DESTROY YOU RIGHT HERE AND NOW!" Buggy threatened Daffy as the latter's wig fell off.
"...mother!" Daffy was on the verge of shitting himself.
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Taco: Don't ask me what his plan was there.

Wario marched right up to Captain Syrup. The latter laughed haughtily as the greedy treasure hunter approached her.
"Give it-a-up, Syrup!" Wario pointed at her. "For I have you-a-outmatched."
"Or do you? Are you sure I don't have one more trick up my sleeve?" Syrup said as she whipped out a magic lamp.
"Oh seriously, him again?" Wario rolled his eyes.
Syrup rubbed the lamp, and in turn, a giant round genie wearing red was summoned. The genie gave Wario a scornful look as he shot fire balls at the latter. Wario dodged most of them, until one got him in the ass.
"AAAAAAAHHHHHHHH! MY BUTT'S ON FIRE!" Wario started running around
Syrup laughed again, "Ready to give up, pretty? Or do you want to drag all of this out?"
What Syrup didn't expect was Wario suddenly turning into a fireball and hitting the genie in the face. That made the genie mad, as he he then started raining thunder down on Syrup's ship.
Judy was sneaking through the vents of the Wario Cruiser as all this went on. After fighting off the seals, she was able to find a vent to slip into. Hopps pulled out her phone, and 'C' was texting her again.
C: Have you got there, yet?
Judy: No, not yet. What do you want me to see exactly?
C: You'll see, just remember to look in the desk at Wario's drawer.
Judy eventually came across light in a vent on the floor. She had found it, Wario's office, decorated in Wario merchandising and all.
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Judy: Look, I know you should love yourself, but this is a little excessive.
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
The officer kicked the vent open, and jumped down. She hid behind one of the chairs, then quickly made her way to Wario's desk. Judy opened a small drawer there as 'C' instructed her to, and found a piece of paper. She took it out, and the paper was slightly crumpled and looked like it was torn out of a journal. There was writing on it, and Judy had a gut feeling she knew exactly who wrote this.
"XX/XX/XXXX
WAHAHAHAHAHAHAAAAA!
I-a-found it! The vortex-a-crystal! Or at least that's what I would-a-say if it wasn't for the fact that it's-a-alive. Apparently, it wants to help me make-a-millions of dollars, so what I will do is rip off-I mean-a-'take inspiration' from that cartoon where I will turn it into a reality show with people from-a-different-a-universes. (Is that-a-crystal stupid? Other universes are already a thing from Smash Bros and the Olympic Games.) Now, my scheme here is…"
From that point, the page was ripped and that was all that was written.
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Judy: Hmmm, interesting.
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
"I'm gonna have to show Makoto," Judy thought to herself.
The genie had grabbed Wario and was now squeezing him like a squeaky toy.
"HANDS OFF OF-A-ME, FATSO!" Wario told the genie off.
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Waluigi: Fatso? Wario is the last person who should call other people fat.
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Wario looked around for any sign of Penny, but he just couldn't see where she had gone off to. Suddenly, a familiar tune could be heard, as WALUIGI had the invincibility star power up and ran right up to the genie. The purple tennis player punched the genie so hard, that he crashed right into Syrup and the two flew up into the air.
"OH COME ON, THIS ISN'T FAIR!" Syrup yelled in a furious tone. "WHERE DID THAT WEASEL GET AN INVINCIBILITY STAR!?"
"UUUUUUUHHHHHH!" Was all the genie said.
"WE'RE BLASTING OFF FOR THE FIRST TIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIME!" Syrup yelled as she got further into the hemisphere.
Crocodile looked up, "Guess the deals off then."
Meanwhile, Alvida's mace flew out of her hands, as Olivier had won their duel. Galdino was also on the floor as Qwark approached him.
"Wh-who are you!?" Galdino yelled out desperately.
"I…" Qwark said surprisingly coldly, "...am the man who doesn't have a haircut that looks like some strange growth on my head."
POW!
"Nicely played, sergeant, nicely played." Alvida admitted.
"Now, I presume we're going to have to chase you off too." Olivier said to Crocodile.
"I ain't leaving until I defeat that bastard." Crocodile gestured to Doflamingo.
"As if you could defeat me." Doflamingo grinned.
Suddenly, Daffy & Taco ran to the Cross Guild's ship, as Buggy burst through another wall, making another hole in the cruiser.
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Taco: Yeah, Wario's gonna be paying a lot to have this ship fixed.
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
"GET BACK HERE, YOU ASSHOLES!" Buggy exclaimed as he shot another Muggy Ball.
What the idiot didn't realize is that the Muggy Ball was aimed right at the Cross Guild's ship…and Crocodile, Alvida, & Galdino all had completely blank expressions as their jaws all dropped. Even Buggy had that same face once he realized what he had done.
"That…idiot…" Was all Crocodile could say.
KABOOOOOOOOOOM!
The Cross Guild's ship blew up. Qwark grabbed Olivier as they were both launched right back onto the cruiser.
"Huh? Where's Doflamingo?" Makoto asked.
"No way," Usopp gasped. "Did he fall into the water? HELL YEAH! I WON'T HAVE TO DEAL WITH DOFLAMINGO ANYMORE!"
Wario climbed onto the Cruiser, while carrying a very wet Doflamingo over his shoulder. The latter coughed up a lot of water.
"I'm not about to get-a-sued for showing a death on this-a-show!" Wario told the former warlord.
"OH, COME ON!" Usopp cried out.
"Why didn't you-a-swim anyways, are you stupid?" Wario told Doflamingo off.
"Are you dense?" Doflamingo asked Wario harshly. "I ate a devil fruit, and it makes it so that I can't swim!"
"You're can't swim, but you're also a pirate?" Trucy asked.
"So what of it, little girl." Doflamingo replied.
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Doflamingo: Children these days.
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Penny came running out and joined everyone else.
"Sorry everyone, I got attacked by some pirates and…" she saw Wario glaring daggers at her.
Wario cleared his throat and groaned, "Since Waluigi got that witch out of here, Team Mushroom-a-wins…"
"DAMN RIGHT, WE DO! SUCK IT, TEAM FLOWERS!" Ted gloated. "You guys suck!"
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Penny: What a sore winner.
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Judy brought the journal page to Makoto who read it.
"My, this is quite the find." Makoto said in slight shock.
"If this is only one entry, then who knows what others are out there." Judy replied.
"I guess we'll have to do more investigating." Makoto then pulled up her group chat. "I'll see if Futaba's made any progress in hacking the security cameras."
"C might prove to be more helpful than either of us think," Judy told her partner.
"By the way," Makoto told Judy. "Do you know Marcie?"
"Marcie? You mean that girl that hangs around Ted a lot?" Judy asked.
"Yeah, she's been acting pretty suspicious." Makoto explained. "This morning, she just showed up out of the blue and asked me to be her friend."
"That doesn't sound too suspicious."
"That on its own doesn't, but it's the way she went about it." Makoto said, "She looked really nervous and was talking over her words a lot. I may not know her as well, but she seems usually more composed than that."
"Do you think she & Ted could have some alliance going on?"
"Perhaps…but we have too much on our plate to worry about what Marcie & Ted could be plotting."
"That's true," Judy relented before looking at her phone. "Especially with figuring just who C is."
Team Flower were back in the storage room as Mona made her entrance.
"Hi again, Team Flower," Mona greeted. "That's some tough luck going through elimination twice in a row."
"Tell us something we don't know, lady." Daffy told her rudely.
"No need to be so rude," Mona scolded Daffy. "Now I'll announce the first group who are safe."
"Penny."
"Paul."
"Makoto."
"Taco."
"Doflamingo."
"And Trucy."
All who remained was Daffy & Reuben.
"ME!?" Daffy exclaimed, "WHAT DO YOU MEAN, I'M NOT IMMEDIATELY SAFE!?"
"Yeah, what gives?" Reuben said, offended.
"Daffy, you are a really unpleasant pers-er, duck to be around. You're rude, greedy, and just kind of a jerk." Mona explained bluntly.
"That's no way to talk to a star such as I!" Daffy rolled his eyes.
"And Reuben, you spent the whole challenge making sandwiches rather than helping fend off the pirates."
"What can I say," Reuben shrugged. "Any sane person loves their sandwiches."
"Now the last person safe is…

"Daffy…..

You're out, Reuben's safe."
Reuben grabbed his statue as Daffy's jaw dropped to the ground.
"No, no no no no no no no!' Daffy shook his head. "I demand a recount. There must have been some mistake."
"There wasn't a mistake." Paul told the looney tune bluntly. "You're just useless."
"THE NERVE OF YOU PEOPLE!" Daffy raged. "ALL OF YOU JUST HAVE ZERO TALENT! THAT'S WHAT IT IS, YOU'RE ALL JUST JEALOUS!"
Daffy jumped on Mona, grabbing her by the jacket.
"RECOUNT! NOW!" Daffy said before Mona pepper sprayed him, "AHHHHHHHHHHH!"
Team Flower just looked awkwardly as Daffy was screaming, "OH, OH, OHHHHHH! AHHHHHHHHHHH! YOU SEE WHAT HAPPENS, WHEN YOU PEOPLE VOTE ME OUT!? AAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHH!'
Mona quickly activated the trap door and got Daffy outta the cruise.
"God, what a pain that guy was." Taco finally let it out.
"Sheesh, I know right?" Reuben replied. "All that drama made me hungry for some bologna."
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Paul: The duck.
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Doflamingo: Damn it, my minion was worthless the whole time. If the duck doesn't get out, then I'll have to find a new minion.
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Taco: Reuben, who just SPENDS a challenge making SANDWICHES!?

Votes Altogether;
Daffy: Paul, Reuben, Makoto, Doflamingo, Trucy, Penny
Reuben: Taco, Daffy

Once it was nighttime, Wario sat on the deck with the crystal.
"Wah, now this is the life." Wario sighed. "Sitting on the deck, while drinking out of this-a-coconut."
"For once I agree with you, Wario." The crystal said, "Or at least I would if I wasn't a crystal."
"Hey, is it just-a-me…or is it getting kinda hot here." Wario admitted.
"INTRUDERS ARE INVADING! ALERT KING BOWSER, NOW!"
The Wario Cruiser then had a spotlight put on it as alarms sounded off. Turns out Wario had found himself and his contestants right in the middle of none other than Bowser's territory! The water was hotter than your average hot spring, Koopas were guarding the castle, and there was a castle in the back with towers and a wall surrounding the island. Lastly, there was a gate just in the front of the giant wall.
"Aw shi-" Wario was cut off by the shows credits.
20th: Mokey Mouse (Mokey's Show) [Team Flower]
19th: Kirby (Kirby) [Team Mushroom]
18th: Amy Rose (Sonic the Hedgehog) [Team Flower]
17th: Daffy Duck (Looney Tunes) [Team Flower]
Notes:
It's finally back, and about time too! I had a lot going on this month, so I wasn't able to get a chapter out until now. Anyways, I am really gonna miss Daffy, lol, he was so fun to write. It was a toss up between him or Reuben here, and I went with Daffy just because I feel like Reuben has more story relevance as of now. Special thanks to G-man for this challenge idea, well, his idea had that one pirate bad guy from Ice Age attack the ship, but I went with Syrup & the Cross Guild instead. Mostly because I just didn't really care for that one bad guy from Ice Age that much, and I thought Syrup could be fun to include in this story considering she's a pretty forgotten character and I felt Wario Land could use some rep here too since WarioWare has a lot. The Cross Guild was basically here just to buff Syrup, because realistically, Doflamingo alone would take her out pretty damn easily. This is also the first time I've teased the next challenge at the end of a chapter too, see ya there.
Chapter Text
A giant turtle with a red mohawk and a spiked shell was playing the piano.
"This is for my one and only true love," he said, "Princess Peach."
"Peach, you're so cool,
And with my star we're gonna rule.
Peach, understand,
I'm gonna love you til' the very end!
Peaches, Peaches,
Peaches, Peaches, Peaches
Peaches, Peaches,
Peaches, Peaches, Peaches
I love you, oh
Peaches!"
"Sire!"
"PEACHES!"
"Your majesty, please!"
"PEACH! PEEEEAAAAACH!"
"YOUR BRUTISHNESS-"
"WHAT!?" Bowser roared in his royal visor, Kamek's face. "CAN'T YA SEE I'M IN THE MIDDLE OF SOMETHIN', HERE!?"
"Yes it's very good, your nastiness," Kamek told the koopa king, "You have the voice of an angel, but we have news about intruders having come to invade."
"INTRUDERS!?" Bowser laughed. "Invading the vacation fortress of the powerful, pleasurable, and respectable KING Bowser? Sounds like they have a death wish, gwahahahahaha!"
"It has been reported that the ship invading is none other than the Daisy Cruiser, sire."
Bowser paused as his eyes went wide, "...Daisy?"
"Yes, your spikiness," Kamek confirmed. "The reports say that it has been spotted outside the castle. It appears to be in a very damaged state, and Wario was spotted on the deck."
"Wario? You mean that tub of lard?" Bowser asked in confusion. "Never mind that, if THAT maniac princess is on the ship, I want my troops to get her out of here immediately!"
The sirens woke many of the contestants up and interrupted whatever it was that others were doing. Ted was chugging a whole bottle of beer while in Walter's room until the siren made the former do a literal spit take.
"What the hell is happenin' up there!?" Ted asked in a drunken state.
"Shit, don't tell me the piggies have arrived." Walter cursed under his breath.
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Walter: I told Wario to not air this show in my universe for a reason. I swear, if he did anyways…
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Judy, Makoto, Qwark, & Marceline all rushed to the deck where the spotlight shined.
"What the glob is going on here?" Marceline asked in shock.
"Don't worry, everyone," Qwark bragged to Wario & the girls. "For I will protect you. Those rascally villains will never stand a chance against me."
"Hey, let's all calm down." Judy tried to reassure the group. "Maybe these people will be reasonable?"
Suddenly, the Wario Cruiser was attacked by a horde of Koopa Troopas, Koopa Paratroopas, Goombas, Hammer Bros, Lakitus, you name it.
"WHAT WAS THAT AGAIN, LONG EARS!?" Wario yelled at Judy.
"YOU WILL SURRENDER TO HIS MAJESTY, IMMEDIATELY!" A Koopa yelled at the quintet.
"A superhero such as I doesn't surrender to anyone." Qwark said smarmily.
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Judy: I really need to keep my mouth shut in the future.
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
"Watch out everyone, there's a whole lot of them!" Makoto yelled.
"TAKE THIS, YOU SCALY DILWEEDS!" Marceline swung her guitar at some Koopas.
Qwark shot at the Koopa Troop with his ray gun, until a Lakitu hit him on the head with a spiny. Qwark dropped unconscious as a bunch of koopas tied him up.
"QWARK!" Judy yelled, before being hit by a Hammer Bro.
Usopp was surrounded by a horde of Koopas.
"STAND BACK! I HAVE 300 MEN ON THIS SHIP AND THEY WILL ALL TEAR YOU TO SHREDS!" Usopp exclaimed.
"Give it up, pal." A Hammer Bro at the front told the sniper. "We ain't buyin' any o' that."
"Oh man, this is bad." Usopp thought to himself. "Really bad. Man, what would Luffy do in this situation?"
In this scenario Usopp has imagined, Luffy was sweeping entire hordes of Koopa Troopas with a giant balloon leg.
"GUM-GUM GIANT AXE!"
"AIEEEEEEEEEE!" All the koopas yelled as they got swept away.
Usopp came back to reality as he thought, "That didn't help at all!"
Suddenly, he heard a voice in the distance.
"HONCH!" It was a Honchkrow that was being ridden by Paul.
"I'M SAVED!" Usopp cried as he grabbed Honchkrow's legs.
"HEY! GET OFF!" Paul yelled as Honchkrow kept flying. "THIS RIDE ISN'T FOR FREELOADERS!"
"SORRY, PAL! IT'S A DOG EAT DOG WORLD HERE!" Usopp yelled back.
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Paul: Looks like I'm stuck with this long nosed loser. Since when was he here anyways?
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Right when the Koopa Troop had Trucy & Penny backed into a corner, the magician stepped up with a smile on her face.
"Oh no, looks like you've caught us." Trucy said with her hand over her mouth. "Whatever will we do now?"
"Trucy, this isn't any time to joke around." Penny said in a panicked tone.
"Maybe I could do some magic tricks if you'll let us go, 'kay?" Trucy asked.
"Nice try, girly!" A Goomba told Trucy off. "But you're goin' straight to Bowser once we're through with you!"
"Bowser!?" Penny yelled out in shock.
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Penny: I've only heard stories about Bowser, but apparently, he's cruel, viscous, conniving, and every other horrible trait. What has Wario gotten us into now!?
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
"Aw c'mon," Trucy put her hands on her hips. "Everyone loves magic, and you all look like you could use some. Now for our first trick…"
Trucy hid a smoke bomb behind her back, "An act of DISAPPEARANCE!"
The magician threw the bomb down and as the Koopa Troop coughed, the former & Penny were both gone.
"ACK!?" A koopa exclaimed, "WHERE'D THEY GO!"
"FIND THEM!" A Boomerang Bro commanded. "THEY CAN'T HAVE GONE FAR!"
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Trucy: It's a good thing I kept that spare smoke bomb from my last show around. It sure saved Penny & I's bacon this time.
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Olivier, with Doflamingo as their backs faced each other, fought off the various Koopas.
"I see you're quite the powerhouse, Armstrong." Doflamingo said smugly.
"I have to be," Olivier responded. "In order to clear out scum like you."
"How rude," Doflamingo replied as he scratched a Koopa with his strings. "I only made an observation, you truly are a heartbreaker."
"I see right through your charismatic act." Olivier bluntly told Doflamingo as she slashed her sword at multiple Piranha Plants, "And quite frankly, I do not trust you, pirate."
"Not that that matters," Doflamingo gave another one of his signature grins. "As I already have this game under my thumb."
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Olivier: I don't know about anyone else, but I'm keeping my eye on Doflamingo. Not just because he's a pirate, but something about him seems sinister to say the least.
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Eventually, most of the cast and the interns escaped. Usopp & Paul hid out in one of the towers. The latter stood against a wall as he peeked his head out for any threats. The former, on the other hand, was shaking like a leaf as he hid behind a wall.
"Will you knock it off?" Paul asked, annoyed.
"Knock it off? WE'RE INSIDE A BIG SCARY FORTRESS, AND YOU-" Usopp screamed before Paul told him, "Shut up! Do you want us to get caught?"
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Paul: Tch, I see the other team has just as much liabilities as my team does. As soon as I find White or anybody from my team, I'm ditching Pinocchio.
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Once Usopp piped down, Paul sent out another Pokemon. This one was some type of bug that had a golden head, transparent wings, and red eyes.
"Is that a bug?" Usopp asked before starting to gush. "Can I pet it, that's a really cute one too? What's its name? I used to play with bugs all the time too back in Syrup Village."
"Wha-no you can't pet it, AND IT'S NOT CUTE EITHER." Paul facepalmed before commanding his Pokemon. "Ninjask, try to find the two of us a path out of here."
Ninjask nodded, before it flew off.
Penny & Trucy walked through the grounds of the fortress. The fortress was dark, hot due to the lava, and had spikes and a certain someone's face all over the place.
"Talk about a big ego, huh." Trucy crossed her arms.
"Trucy, I wouldn't talk that way about Bowser if I were you." Penny said nervously.
"From the way you're always talkin' about him," Trucy told the inventor. "I wouldn't think he'd be going kart racing or playing golf with Mario and everyone."
"How do you know…" Penny was about to ask before remembering, "Oh right, we're video game characters in your universe."
"Now that we're both alone," Trucy changed the topic. "What's the deal with the way you've been acting?"
"What'd you mean?" Penny asked.
"You're always sweating bullets, always stuttering, constantly seem nervous, are you okay?" Trucy gave Penny a concerned look. "You can tell me you're not, we're friends after all."
Penny sighed before telling the magician, "I've just had nerves from being on the show. That's it."
"Aha!" Trucy jumpscared Penny a little by saying, "Right when you said 'that's it,' you started grabbing onto your braid. You're hiding something, aren't you, Penny."
'W-what!?" Penny stepped back. "W-what would I have to hide? I wouldn't…"
"I may not have the evidence just yet," Trucy looked down. "But I will find out what's going on. That's a promise."
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Penny: Uh oh, this is getting bad…I can't tell Wario since he'll just find some way to eliminate Trucy…but if Trucy finds out the truth…
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Fortunately for Penny, the duo were interrupted as they both heard footsteps.
"Quick, hide!" Trucy dragged Penny over to a pillar.
The footsteps ended up being none other than Jimmy T. & Mona.
"Kat? Ana? SpongeBob?" Mona called.
"Dribble? Spitz? Ashley?" Jimmy added, "Man, this place isn't my style. This heat might mess up my afro."
"No offense, Jimmy," said Mona. "But I think your hair should be the least of your concerns."
"Hey, now," Jimmy argued. "We have no idea if this is on TV or not. I gotta look the part if it is. Yow!"
Penny & Trucy came out from the pillar and walked towards the interns.
"Mona? Jimmy?" Penny said in shock.
"Penny, good to see you!" Mona sighed of relief. "You too, Trucy."
"You guys got attacked too?" Trucy asked.
"Yeah, and it was totally uncool." Jimmy complained. "I just bought this new jacket too."
"Do you guys have a plan?" Mona asked. "Because the cruiser's currently being held hostage by Bowser and none of us know where it is."
Suddenly, four Koopas appeared, "THERE'S THE INTRUDERS! LET'S GET 'EM!"
Trucy smirked before the scene immediately cut to the Koopas having bumps on their head while stripped down to boxers with hearts on them. Penny, Trucy, Mona, & Jimmy put the shells on as they walked forwards.
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Trucy: Gotta hand it to Penny, her inventions are stronger than they seem.
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
"Are you sure this plan is gonna work?" Mona asked.
"HEY, YOU FOUR!" The quartet turned to the voice to see none other than a kid who looked a lot like Bowser, except smaller. This was Bowser Jr., the son of Bowser.
"Looks like we've been caught," Jimmy whispered while sweating.
"What are you doing out here? You should be fixing MY Koopa Clown Car!" Bowser Jr. pointed at the group.
"Who, us?" Penny asked before smirking. "Oh, we're deeply sorry, our prince. We'll hop to it immediately."
"You'd better! Otherwise I'll tell papa on you!" Bowser Jr. then ran off.
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Mona: Eek! That was Bowser Jr.! What a close one that was. Isn't this thing usually for contestants anyways?
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Waluigi, Taco, & SpongeBob all hid out at the castle dining room, as multiple Goombas were waiting.
"What the frick are those fungi eating?" Taco quietly gasped as she saw the Goombas eating tacos.
"Wah, shut up will ya, you irrelevant-a-character!" Waluigi told Taco off.
"What the hell, I'm seeing…me…getting eaten!" Taco's face turned green.
"If it makes you feel any better, Taco," SpongeBob told the contestant. "I see people eat spongecakes all the time."
"That's…not even the same thing…" Taco sighed.
As the duo hid out more, SpongeBob slipped away to the kitchen. The fry cook suddenly had a bunch of pots and pans thrown at him.
"OUT! OUT OF ZE KITCHEN!" Yelled a french goomba with a thin mustache that wore a beret.
"WHOA! Easy on the pans, buddy." SpongeBob said to the chef. "I'm a cook too, by the way."
The french goomba stopped throwing stuff and started laughing, "YOU!? A CHEF!? Bah! You're probably juzt a fry cook, zat is what zis is!"
Waluigi & Taco both came bursting through the door, or Waluigi did and Taco was just dragged along.
"WAH! SPONGE KID! WALUIGI'S NOT GONNA GET-A-CAUGHT BECAUSE OF YOU!" Waluigi yelled at the sponge.
"Now what is zat?" The chef goomba's eyes landed on Taco, who gulped.
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Taco: CAN I HAVE PEOPLE NOT TRY TO EAT ME FOR ONCE!?
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
"No no no, I am NOT edible! Okaaaaaaayyyyyyyyy!" Taco screamed as the chef goomba chased her around the kitchen.
"You stop that right now! Mr…erm…" SpongeBob tried to interject.
"Chef Goomtoine!" The French Goomba answered SpongeBob's thoughts.
"Well, Goomtone-"
"GoomTOINE!"
"-I challenge you to a cook off!" SpongeBob whipped his spatula out and aimed it at Goomtoine.
Goomtoine laughed again, "I'll humor you for now, zponge boy. But I am a master chef, and no'zhing like ze fazt food you cook!"
"This is a waste of-a-time!" Waluigi tapped his foot repeatedly. "Waluigi's out of here!"
Judy, Qwark, & Wario were all handcuffed and walked straight to Bowser's throne room. This throne room had boiling hot water pouring out from a waterfall behind the throne, and the water surrounded a large circular platform in the center. The walls were much more blue-ish than the rest of the castle was. But there were two huge Bowser statues next to the throne as the man/Koopa himself sat on the throne.
"Well, well, well," Bowser hopped off the throne when Judy, Qwark, & Wario were brought to the platform. "If it isn't that tubby garlic muncher, Wario. What the crud are you doing here? And who are these bozos? You know what, I don't care who they are, WHAT ARE YOU DOING IN MY TERRITORY?"
"Wah! It's not-a-like I wanted to be here!" Wario argued. "Wah-t gives? Aren't you usually at the-a-dark lands, and not in the middle of the ocean?"
"What? A powerful and handsome king like I can't have a vacation every once and a while?" Bowser huffed. "And doesn't my army deserve one too?"
"Look, Bowser, was it, this is all just a misunderstanding," Judy attempted to bargain. "We ended up here on accident and if you just open the gate…"
"And I hear that you were all on the cruiser of that devil woman too!" Bowser clenched his fist.
"Devil woman eh?" Qwark commented. "Sounds like quite the catch, your majesty."
"What devil woman?" Judy whispered to Wario.
"He got sent to orbit by Princess Daisy slapping him one time, and he's-a-been scared of her ever since." Wario answered bluntly.
"AM NOT SCARED OF HER!" Bowser roared as he shot fire at the trio who all jumped right out of the way. "I'm just…concerned…is all! GUARDS! Take these 3 to the dungeon, I'm done with them!"
"YOU WILL REGRET THIS! FOR THEY DON'T-A-CALL ME WARIO THE GREAT FOR NOTHING!" Wario exclaimed.
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Waluigi: Wahahahahahahahaha! Wario sounds so pathetic here! Wahaha!
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
"Hey! C'mon, your highness," Qwark attempted to smooth talk as he, Judy, & Wario were all being manhandled by armored Koopas, "I'll give you my autograph if you…"
"LET US LEAVE!" Judy yelled out.
"Lettuce leaf?" Everyone in the room was jumpscared as a tall, thin, young koopa with green hair and glasses appeared while holding a leaf.
That koopa took a bite of the leaf as everyone paused.
"Iggy, why don't ya go bug your brothers," Bowser said exasperated. "King Dad's busy right now."
As Iggy left, the two contestants & Wario were dragged away to the dungeon. The doors shut, and Kamek teleported in again.
"Your scaliness," Kamek said.
"What is it now, Kamek!?" Bowser said in frustration. "This better be important!"
"You do remember the Castle Owners Association was going to stop by today, right?" Kamek reminded the Koopa King.
Bowser's eyes widened as a sound of glass breaking could be heard, "Those snobby pretentious little shmucks…"
"Shall I prepare the cleaning squad?" Kamek asked.
"Yeah, yeah, go ahead!" Bowser waved it off as we went back to his piano.
Makoto & Marceline were barely able to escape from the cruiser before they could get captured. The duo caught a breath before looking around where they were.
"That sure was a close one," Marceline commented.
"You can say that again," Makoto said, still catching her breath.
"Y'know how to get outta this?" Marceline asked. "You're apparently the smart one of your team after all."
"Sorry, but I don't have a clue," Makoto sighed.
The phantom thief looked out the window and saw that the Wario Cruiser was gone. Her eyebrows raised as Makoto figured out what happened.
"It looks like the ruler of this place took the cruiser hostage." Makoto told the vampire queen.
"Well, looks like we'll just have to get it back then," Marceline smirked. "And save the peeps who got kidnapped too."
Makoto lightly gasped, "I forgot about the people who were captured. Of course we have to rescue them."
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Makoto: I hope the others are okay, if only I wasn't so….useless…right now.
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Marceline: She's a little uptight, but she doesn't seem like too bad of a gal to hang around.
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
The Wario Cruiser was locked up in a dungeon on the lowest floor of the Bowser Vacation Fortress. Said lowest floor was closest to the water, and it was an open gap that was being guarded by a bunch of Bloopers, Cheep Cheeps, and urchins. On the Cruiser currently were Walter & Reuben along with a witch and a demon.
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Reuben: Man, I've been thinking about things since last night…about what Doflamingo said…is it…true? Am I a freak…?
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
"That was real close, huh, Ashley?" The demon said to the witch.
Ashley sighed, "Right when I thought I was about to have peace and quiet."
"Hold the phone," said Reuben, popping out of his daydream. "But where did you two come from? I don't remember either of ya in any episodes so far."
"Hey, uh, I'm Red and this is Ashley." Red introduced himself. "Ashley's mostly been staying in her own room, so that's why you haven't been seeing us. It's nice to meet you guys."
"What are the both of you doing in my room?" Ashley bluntly asked.
"We're hiding out from those little turds that attacked us." Walter explained. "I don't like your attitude, kid."
"That makes two of us." Ashley groaned. "Either the both of you leave, or I turn you into spoons."
"H-hey now," Reuben stuttered. "White and I have ta be here, otherwise…"
"Fine, I don't need a little snot-nosed brat snarking at me." Walter spat before he left.
Reuben ran right after White as the latter walked out of Ashley's room.
"White, what are ya doin'!?" Reuben whispered loudly. "Those turtles are gonna get us, and it's gonna be all over!"
"Don't underestimate me," Walter told the experiment, before loading his gun and stuffing what seemed to be meth blocks in his pocket.
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Reuben: Man, out of the two evil alliances here, I'm jealous of whoever's in White's! At least he isn't beating the tar outta me constantly.
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Goomtoine was rapidly cooking tons of meals. His table started being piled up with turkey legs, ham, pasta, and just a huge ass pile of food in general. Meanwhile, SpongeBob was slowly making one Krabby Patty. Multiple goombas watched in awe as this whole contest played out.
"Man, our chef's making this stuff like crazy," One goomba said.
"That other guy isn't even done with that one burger?" Another asked, "Laaaaaame."
Olivier & Doflamingo traversed through a dark room that had candles lighting the way and paintings of Bowser lining the walls.
"My, my, it is a surprise how you don't even seem the least bit frightened." Doflamingo said mockingly to Olivier.
"I'm not even going to entertain your comment." Armstrong told off the ex-warlord, "You will not get into my head."
"You really are a killjoy, Armstrong," Doffy slightly growled. "But I'll be patient, oh yes I will."
Suddenly the candles went out and everything was pitch black.
"Ha ha, how hilarious." Olivier fake laughed, "You're probably hoping to scare me, pirate."
"On the contrary," said Mingo. "This was not I."
That's when an army of circular ghosts popped out and lit up the room. Leading the ghosts, was a bigger orb wearing a purple gem crown. There was no mistaken that this was King Boo.
"Heheheheheh!" King Boo cackled. "Looks like Bowser brought us some new paintings, my beloved Boos."
The Boos all laughed as Olivier drew her sword, "What are you!? And where are we?"
"Isn't it obvious, you foolish woman." King Boo rudely answered. "You are in one of Bowser's fortresses. It won't matter anyways, because you and your pink friend are going straight into my collection."
King Boo pulled out two picture frames, as Doflamingo & Olivier both attacked him. Both of their attacks went right through the ghost as he cackled.
"How stupid of you two!" King Boo told them. "You can't hit GHOSTS!"
"Tch, then we'll attack your precious picture frames." Mingo threatened as he shot strings at one frame.
The frame crumbled to pieces, but King Boo still smiled.
"It's a good thing I always keep spares," the king of the Boos bragged. "Now it's time for the both of you to get in!"
The only option left in that moment for Doflamingo & Armstrong was to run.
Trucy, Mona, & Jimmy watched as Penny added the finishing touches to Bowser Jr.'s clown car. Once Penny was done tightening one of the bolts, she shut the trunk(?).
"Aaaaand it's done!" Penny announced.
"That was amazing, Penny!" Mona clapped as Jimmy struck a pose.
"You're catching up to your grandaddy's skills in no time." Jimmy complimented.
"Really, guys, it was nothing." Penny blushed at the compliments.
"Now we gotta tell Bowser Jr.," said Trucy.
The quartet ran out and bumped into a snobby looking man.
"Watch where you're going, you brutes." The man then stuck his nose up so high he was basically looking up while pointing at the group.
"Excuse me, sir," Trucy cleared her throat, "But don't ya think that's gonna give you back problems?"
"Humph, I don't need any advice from commoners." The man huffed. "I am Hugh Jazhol, head of the Castle Owners Association, and so far, I do not approve of this FILTHY architecture."
"Didn't Bowser build the place himself though?" Mona asked.
"Hahaha!" Hugh laughed at Mona. "Please, you think he owns this place? Every castle on this area belongs to the Castle Owners Association, and if we don't approve, then he can't go on holiday here anymore!"
"Yo, what kinda rigged system is this!?" Jimmy blurted out.
"I shall take my leave now." Hugh walked away. "I cannot stand to breath the same oxygen as you disgusting henchmen any longer."
"Excuse my language," Mona said out loud, "But he really is a huge asshole."
Trucy pretended to gasp, "Mona, for shame!"
The group all laughed after that exchange.
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Penny: If only I didn't have to lie to Trucy, but this is strangely a good way for me to relax. Just being able to hang out with some of my friends.
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Walter blew up an entire lobby that Koopas marched in with one of the meth blocks he had. Reuben looked in shock as White was blowing things up all over the place.
"Don't ya think you're goin' a little far?" Reuben asked.
"In this world, it's kill or be killed," Walter responded. "Those turtles are lucky I'm not shooting them yet."
As they both walked, Reuben seemed to get more and more uneasy. As he looked at his reflection in different windows across the hall.
"I wonder…" Reuben thought to himself, "...how come I'm the only one of these experiments to talk? Like talk in full sentences. I never thought about anything but sandwiches before…but…"
"All you are is a lab rat created by a shoddy scientist." Doflamingo sneered as he pulled Reuben's files out. "I knew you were useless, but you're a freak of nature too? My, what a joke."
"Hey, White?" Reuben finally spoke up.
"What d'ya want?" Walter replied.
"Say…do ya think I'm…a freak…" Reuben rung his hands together.
"Tch," Walter scoffed. "You're all freaks here. When I signed on, I sure as hell didn't think I'd be competing with fucking Daffy Duck or a taco with limbs. You blend right in with the rest for me."
"Uh…thanks, I guess." Reuben's eyelids slightly went shut.
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Reuben: If I'm bein' honest, that doesn't help much. At least they have the excuse of bein' from alternative universes. Me, I was created to be a weapon for Pete's sake! …I'll go now.
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Hot Dog Water hid out in a room, and this room had a piano and other musical instruments in it. Not just that, but there were portraits of 'Beetkoopven' hung up on the walls too.
"Whoever's room this is," Marcie muttered under her breath. "They seem like a real snob."
She heard a voice.
"And what in the blazes are you doing here?" Standing right there was a Koopa who looked similar to Bowser & Junior, but he had huge blue hair and one pointy tooth sticking out.
"Oh excuse me," Marcie sassed. "But your little welcoming party left me and probably tons of other people stuck here."
"Such hogwash!" The koopa blurted out, "I may as well report you to King Dad immediately!"
Now Marcie was panicking, "W-wait! I'll bet that…I'm better at math than you!"
The snaggle-toothed koopa slowly said, "Are you serious? HA! Better at math than me?"
"Yeah, I can do algebra and calculus," Hot Dog Water bragged. "Bet you can't do that in turtle school."
"Bloody hell!" The koopa argued, "I am the top of my Koopa classes! Everyone knows the name, Ludwig von Koopa, around these parts, and I shall not be upstaged by the likes of you."
"How about it then," Marcie offered. "I challenge you to a math competition. If I win, you'll let me go…"
"But if I win," Ludwig smiled in a devious manner. "Then you'll be sent straight to the dungeon."
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Hot Dog Water: Alright, you can't fail this now, Marcie. I'll give that walking bad hair day a slice of humble pie!
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Meanwhile, Ted was in a punk rock themed room, beefing with another koopa looking like Bowser. This one had a pink bald head with pink and black sunglasses.
"YOU AIN'T GETTIN' YOUR HANDS ON MY SUNGLASSES!" The koopa yelled, "DON'T YA KNOW WHO'S YOUR DEALIN' WITH HERE?"
"Yeah, I know," Ted replied. "You're an insecure, big, pink, loser who acts tough but in reality, is a sad little turtle who cries himself to sleep every night, but hides it with those ugly ass sunglasses…nah, can't insult them shades. I can insult your bald ass head, though, 10 goin' onto 50 here!"
The koopa's jaw gaped open in shock, before shaking his head, "You're dead, bub."
"Bring it on, baldie, bring it on!" Ted jumped onto the pink koopa as they both started their brawl.
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Ted: No one challenges me, and gets out without a black eye and a kick to the balls. Ya hear that edgelord Pokeyman guy?
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Another koopaling, this one having a bow on her head, opened the door.
"ROY! DID YOU RIP MY NEW JACKE-" She saw the fight that was ensuing.
Shelves were being knocked down, posters were getting ripped off the walls, Roy was throwing Ted around, and the latter would keep punching the former.
"Boys…" This koopa shut the door as she scoffed.
The cook-off was finished, and Goomtoine had a whole wall of food prepared. SpongeBob, on the other hand, only had one Krabby Patty.
"HOHOHOH! I WIN, ZPONGE BOY!" Goomtoine and all the Goombas laughed in SpongeBob's face. "Now I give all my food to ze Goombaz to enjoy!"
The Goombas started chowing down on the buffet in front of them, before immediately spitting it out.
"Man, this stuff is wack." A Goomba said in disgust.
"Yeah, what happened, chef? You're usually better than this." Another Goomba added their two cents.
"Oh! Is zat ze game you want to play, hoh?" Goomtoine grabbed the Krabby Patty from SpongeBob…somehow…, "I'll try ze Krabby Patty and you will all see how dizguzting zis patty iz!"
Goomtoine tossed the Krabby Patty in his mouth, chewing it, and his eyes went wide as he tasted it.
"Great fungus…" Goomtoine said in amazement, "Why, zis is zo good, zat I want to try it a second time."
Goomtoine then spat the Krabby Patty out and ate it again, causing all the Goombas watching to recoil in disgust.
"Truly, I did not deserve to challenge you, Chef SpongeBob!" Goomtoine told the fry cook.
"Hey don't feel bad," SpongeBob told the goomba chef, "You sure put up a fight. This reminds me of when I challenged King Neptune, bahahahaha!"
"No no, I need to learn your secretz, SpongeBob." Goomtoine got down on his nonexistent knees.
In the background, Taco attempted to tiptoe away from the kitchen. Unfortunately for her, Goomtoine looked up and made eye contact. Taco chuckled nervously, before the French Goomba got his butcher knife out.
"GET BACK HERE, YOU COQUINE!" Goomtoine jumped and then slammed the butcher knife close to where Taco was.
"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!" Taco just barely dodged the knife before booking it.
"I'M NOT DONE WIZ' YOU!" Goomtoine kept chasing Taco around, after she exited the kitchen.
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Taco (curled up in a ball): I'm okay, I'm okay, I'm okay, I'm okay, I'm okay, I'm okay
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Usopp & Paul went through the air vents. Ninjask was able to lead the duo right to where the air ducts were.
"Hey, Paul, Paul!" Usopp yelled out.
"What." Paul said, annoyed.
"Did I tell you about that time I beat Kaido while blindfolded with a hand tied behind my…"
"Yes, you did."
"Alright then, hey Paul, wouldn't it be crazy if I were competing alongside two other straw hats…and a fleet admiral somehow signed on too. Man, that would be nuts."
"I don't care."
"Okay, don't wanna bother you. Er, Paul, I need to go to the bathroom."
"Hold it in for Arceus' sake."
"Hey, Paul…"
"WHAT! WHAT! WHAT!?" Paul finally snapped. "NO WE ARE NOT OUT OF HERE YET, STOP BOTHERING ME!"
"Sheesh, no need to be such a hothead." Usopp replied. "Hey, Paul…"
Paul didn't say anything.
"We there yet?"
"GAH!" Paul screamed, "For five minutes…could you not be yourself…FOR FIVE MINUTES!?"
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Paul: So…glad…he isn't on my team. If I was stuck with him AND that Alolan Golduck, I would get in a bath and tell Electivire to use thunder bolt on it to end me!
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
As the both ot them continued, Usopp suddenly fell right through an air vent. Paul just kept pushing on, as Usopp fell. Not just that, but the sniper fell right in Bowser's throne room.
"Hehehehe…" Usopp laughed nervously. "PAUL, COME BAAAAAAAAAAAACK!"
Bowser grinned like a madman, "Kamek, bring that Pinocchio nose to me at once!"
Suddenly, Usopp was restrained and lifted to Bowser by magic. Usopp shook furiously as Bowser twirled him around and grabbed some of the former's hair.
"Didn't know we had more intruders here." Bowser interrogated. "What's your name anyways?"
"N-n-name…I'm…Usopp…." Usopp was on the verge of shitting bricks.
"U-sawh-pp?" Bowser scratched his head before saying, "Now, Us-opp, where do ya suppose these other intruders are?"
"W-w-what are you talking about? There's no intruders!" Usopp attempted to lie as Bowser pulled harder on his hair. "It's not like we'reabunchofrealityshowcontestantsandweallstumbledonhereandwariowouldtotallystealyourriches…."
Bowser's teeth clenched more and more, until he finally ripped some of Usopp's hair out.
"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!"
"GET THIS CHUMP OUT OF MY FACE!" Bowser threw Usopp on the ground.
The impact was so large, that some of the concrete even broke.
"We'll prepare this intruder's imprisonment as I speak, your scariness." Kamek flinched a little, seeing Bowser throw the sniper like that.
Usopp woke up from being unconscious, and he saw Judy, Qwark, & Wario in his cell.
"You all were caught too, huh." Usopp groaned as he sat up.
"Who does-a-Bowser think he is-a-locking me up!" Wario ranted.
"This is most certainly no way to treat a hero," Qwark said as well.
"We've been trying to come up with plans," Judy told Usopp. "But Qwark and Wario aren't cooperating."
Usopp looked as Wario kept trying to shoulder bash a wall, injuring the latter in the process, and Qwark kept punching a wall over and over again. Suddenly, the dungeon door opened.
"UNHAND ME, YOU SHELL-BRAINED OAF!" Hugh yelled, while having been stripped down to a wifebeater and boxers.
"YOU HAVE THE RIGHT TO REMAIN SILENT, INTRUDER!" One of two Sledge Bros hauling Hugh in told the inspector.
"Is this man your's?" The other Sledge Bro asked the prisoners.
Right before Judy could say something, Usopp covered her mouth and said, "Yeah, it's our old pal, Condoriano! Boy you sure got us now!"
"WHAT IN THE BLAZES IS THIS PIN-NOSED IDIOT TALKING ABOUT!?" Hugh screamed, "I DON'T KNOW ANYONE NAMED CONDORIANO! WHAT KIND OF PEASANT'S NAME IS THAT!?"
Judy took Usopp's hand off, and smirked. "C'mon, Condoriano, you should know when to give up. It's pointless now."
She then took out a carrot pen and pressed a button, said pen showed Hugh's voice, "I…NAMED CONDORIANO!"
Both Sledge Bros nodded and threw Hugh into the cell. They threw him so hard, that his head went straight through the wall. Judy looked straight at Hugh (as best as she could with his head stuck in the wall) and gave him smug grin.
"It's called a hustle, sweetheart."
"Wah-t was that?" Wario asked.
"Let's just say, I've been in a situation like this one before," Usopp answered. "And I have a gut feeling someone in there is in disguise as we speak."
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Usopp: Man, who woulda thought I'd get the same opening I did during that time my crew and I were stuck in that marine base. *shudders* But I don't even wanna think about what would've happened if Doflamingo was there….
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
"Look who finally showed up," Bowser said to Walter, who was wearing Hugh's suit and gloves. "What is that weird lookin' animal with ya?"
"Him?" Walter gestured to Reuben, "He's my assistant. Pay him no attention."
"Alright then," Bowser crossed his arms, "Kamek will show ya around the place, don't bug me while I sing my song."
Kamek then appeared out of thin air, "Shall we get ready, Mr. Jazhol?"
"Do you think I would be standing here if I wasn't?" Walter said in a rude tone.
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Walter: Jazhol? This guy's mother must have really hated him.
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
A few moments earlier…
"Having lava in the castle, having too many things on the walls, the walls aren't the right shade of gray, everything is wrong, wrong, WRONG!" Hugh furiously wrote notes as he was walking on the bridge over the lava. "I sooooooooo look forward to evicting this brute."
Hugh wrote some more notes, before…
WHAM!
…he felt a sharp pain in the back of his head and fainted. Standing above Jazhol was Walter, who had just hit Jazhol over the head with a gun.
"Perfect…" Walter said.
Makoto & Marceline hid behind wall after wall of Bowser's fortress. Marceline used her powers to turn them both invisible whenever a guard passed by. They overheard two Shy Guys talking, one re and one blue.
"Do ya think Daisy's gonna come after Bowser once she finds out how banged up her ship is?" A Blue Shy Guy asked.
"Yeah, dude, I couldn't believe it," The other Shy Guy told his friend. "Where did all this sand come from? And that hole too."
"Have you even been watching TV lately? This is the cruiser for Total Drama Gold."
"Total Drama? Wow, they really just stole the name of that Cartoon Network show?"
"I know, how about we sneak onboard, just to see what it's like."
"Dang, you know where it is?"
"Yeah, it's right by the dock at the lowest floor."
Once both Shy Guys left, Marceline & Makoto went visible again.
"At the dock! I never even noticed there was one." Makoto told Marceline.
"Hey, I don't blame ya," said Marceline. "We were busy getting attacked by a bunch of turtles after all."
Suddenly, Olivier ran and bumped straight into Makoto.
"My apologies," Olivier panted. "I'd suggest you retreat, however."
"Armstrong?" Marceline said with a raised eyebrow, "What are you running from?"
"Oh look!" King Boo showed up in front of the trio, holding three frames telepathically, "I have some more fresh meat for my painting collection. Come here, you fair ladies."
"I don't think so!" Marceline kicked King Boo in the crown, making it fall off.
"NO! WHAT HAVE YOU DOOOOOOOONE!" King Boo then covered his face as it went red.
Olivier made a blank expression as she fell to her knees.
"That was it…? All I had to do…was knock its crown off…THAT WAS IT!?"
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Olivier: Mustang! If you're watching, you'd better not be laughing at the humiliation I have had to endure on this show. You hear me!
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
A man at a military office was laughing at Olivier's misery, while watching the TV. One solider walked up to him.
"Chief Mustang? What is it you find so funny?"
"Don't worry about it, private." Mustang said to the solider, "Just get back to your duties."
Meanwhile, Doflamingo had managed to snatch an artifact from Bowser as the former warlord sat in Bowser Jr.'s room.
Doflamingo laughed maniacally, "I wonder just what kind of monstrosity is inside this artifcact."
He broke it open, and it seemed like a monster with insect like wings was gonna come out.
…
…
…
…
…
…
…Then it turned out to just be a cute little round green bug.
"Uh, howdy, thanks for freeing me from that prison," said the cricket who's basically Jiminy Cricket.
"What? Are you shitting me?" Doflamingo cursed under his breath. "WHAT ARE YOU, BUG!?"
"I dunno how to explain this, but I'm your conscience. I sit on your shoulder, judge your actions, and the quality of your character."
Doflamingo's veins popped.
"Now let's start with introductions, what's your name?" Jiminy asked.
"...Donquixote Doflamingo, and don't forget it either…"
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Doflamingo: Some fearsome beast if he keeps this bug around. Oh, how fun it will be to destroy that cricket's spirits.
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
The door flew open, as Bowser Jr. stood at the doorway, "HEY! WHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE, PINKY?"
"Who do you think I am, child." Doflamingo threatened Junior. "For I don't
"Now now, Mingo, as your conscience, I…YOU'RE NOT ABOUT TO ATTACK THAT CHILD ARE YOU!?"
Doflamingo lunged at Bowser Jr., who dodged the attack. Junior then got into his clown car and shot a bunch of Bullet Bills at Mingo.
"I…I'm really gonna have my work cut out for me with this one," Jiminy gulped.
Marcie & Ludwig were rapidly doing multiple algebra/calculus equations on the chalkboard, as a bunch of Bowser's minions cheered Ludwig on.
"YEAH! GO LUDWIG!" Yelled a short Koopaling named Lemmy.
"SHOW THAT NERD WHOSE BOSS!" Another one, Larry, cheered.
"But Larry, Ludwig's the biggest nerd around." Lemmy told his brother.
"You know what I mean."
Eventually, they both reached the final problem, and it sure was a hard one. Hot Dog Water's hands were shaking as Ludwig quickly moved to solve the problem. She concentrated as hard as she could as both combatants raced to solve it. Finally Marcie put the chalk down.
"And the answer is 40284803803730730076271082.3947494749479478927930000000000000000."
Everyone looked in awe as Hot Dog Water was announced the winner.
"WHAT IS THIS BALDERDASH!?" Ludwig yelled in outrage. "NO ONE CAN BEAT ME IN MATHS!"
"Well, Ludwig, a deal's a deal, I think." Marcie snarked.
"Tch, fine, I'll let you go." Ludwig stomped off.
"What a sore loser," The high schooler rolled her eyes.
Kamek showed Walter & Reuben to the explosives room.
"This is where we keep all the Bullet Bills, cannons, Banzai Bills, and the like." Kamek told the duo.
Walter walked straight to the Bullet Bill blasters. Kamek's eyebrows raised in worry.
"I would recommend to stay away from those, Mr. Jazhol." Kamek warned.
Walter didn't listen as he put the meth cubes straight into the cannon.
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Reuben: Okay, this guy's a madman.
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
"Jazhol? What are you doing?" Kamek almost screamed.
"It sure was fun to trick your sorry ass," Walter grinned. "But I'll be taking this."
"You mean, you're not…" Kamek said before, "EEEEEEEEEEKKKKKK!"
Walter shot a Bullet Bill with bloodshot eyes right at Kamek, who dodged just in time. The Bullet Bill caused a HUGE explosion in the wall, which caught the attention of tons of Koopa Troopas.
"TROOPAS! ATTACK THIS MISCREANT!" Kamek yelled, before Reuben kicked him to another wall.
"Did I just do that?" Reuben asked in slight fear.
Reuben's thoughts were interrupted by another huge explosion. This one knocked dozens upon dozens of Koopa Troopas unconscious.
"SANDWICH BOY, YOU'D BETTER CATCH UP, CUZ I'M NOT SLOWING DOWN!" Walter called out.
"ACK! COMING!" Reuben quickly ran. "If I knew there would be so much runnin'..."
A Lakitu floated around the dungeon, holding some keys. He passed by those cold dark cells, until the Lakitu heard something.
"SPECIAL ATTACK: GATLING SALT STAR!"
"AHHHHH! MY EYES!" The Lakitu shrieked. "I CAN'T SEE!"
In his panic, the Lakitu dropped the keys.
"Nice shot, You-so," Qwark complimented Usopp.
"Qwark, did you never learn my name?" Usopp deadpanned.
"Of course I have," Qwark argued. "It was Ussop, wasn't it?"
"Forget it," Usopp told the 'hero'.
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Wario: WAH! I'M-a-supposed to be the one tormenting everyone! I'm not supposed to get-a-tormented too! Why am I still having all of this-a-be recorded you ask? Ratings, of course! A challenge in Bowser's territory will always drum up-a-extra cash! Wahahahahaha!
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
"WAH! HURRY UP AND GRAB THE KEY ALREADY!" Wario yelled at the two arguing.
"Wahahaha! What's-a-this?" said Waluigi as he suddenly stepped in with Ted.
"WALUIGI! WAH-T ARE YOU DOING HERE!?" Wario's face went as red as a tomato.
"GOOD GRIEF! YOU'RE ALWAYS TURNING UP LIKE A BAD PENNY, LONG LEGS!" Usopp exclaimed too.
"Ha ha! Oh, did you two get-a-locked up?" Waluigi started laughing, "That is-a-just priceless! If only Waluigi had a camera on him. Wario & Schnozz being stuck in jail together."
"I'm here too, by the way." Judy chimed in.
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Usopp: He truly is rotten isn't he? Can't focus on him now anyways, considering our situation.
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
"Ya see," Ted told everyone in the cell, "Waluigi & I heard about a treasure bein' hidden at the-"
"DON'T-A-TELL THEM, YOU IDIOT!" Waluigi kicked Ted to shut him up.
"TREASURE!?" Wario's eyes turned to dollar signs.
"YEAH! AND YOU WON'T GET ANY OF IT WHILE LOCKED UP HERE! TA TA!" Waluigi grabbed Ted and ran off.
"GET BACK HERE, WALUIGIIIIIIIIIIIII!" Wario's rage was so strong, that he punched the dungeon walls open.
"Eep, wouldn't wanna end up on Wario's bad side." Usopp said quietly.
"I guess that's one way to get out." Judy commented. "Any idea what we'll do with Condoriano?"
Hugh was sat down on the ground then, bruised and battered all over.
"ANY IDEA WHAT YOU'LL DO WITH ME!? HOW ABOUT YOU GET AWAY FROM ME BEFORE I CATCH YOUR PEASANTRY!"
"Wah, let's just-a-leave him," Wario shrugged. "I'M GONNA GET THAT-A-TREASURE!"
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Usopp: Nami might have competition for the title of "most money hungry person".
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
"Quick, while Wario's gonna distract the guards, let's find the cruiser!" Usopp whispered to Judy & Qwark.
"Easier said than done." Judy told the pirate. "We don't even know where it is."
"Worry not, Hopps," Qwark tried to reassure Judy. "For I have a plan."
Waluigi & Ted ran to the lower floor of the dungeon. Said lowest floor was even darker, had sounds of water dripping echoing through the room, cobwebs everywhere, and some Dry Bones guards pacing the area.
"Damn, this place looks like that one chick I found on Tinder's basement." Ted said to Waluigi.
"WAH!? Wah-t kind of people are you-a-finding on those apps!?" Waluigi found himself in the unfamiliar position of the voice of reason.
"Look man, sometimes, ya get desperate, and ya just can't take it anymore." Ted explained, "You're lucky I ain't Johnny cuz he's worse when desperate."
Waluigi & Ted tiptoed through this area, while dodging the gaze of the Dry Bones guards. After a lot of sneaking around, they both found a giant door.
"Wah! This must be it!" Waluigi whispered to Ted.
The duo were interrupted by a loud voice booming through the area.
"YOU WILL NOT-A-TOUCH MY TREASURE!" Wario burst the door open, but this was not the treasure anyone expected.
Instead, there were just a bunch of posters and dolls and cardboard cutouts of Princess Peach all over this secret room.
"That's it…" Wario & Waluigi said in unison, "That's the treasure…"
"I know right!" Ted said in outrage, "What a crap taste in chicks! This gal ain't got any curves or ass or…"
"Ted, Waluigi wants you to shut up…" Waluigi slowly walked away.
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Waluigi: All of that time, AND IT WAS ALL JUST PRINCESS-A-PEACH MERCHANDISE!? CURSE YOU, BOWSER!
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Makoto, Marceline, & Olivier were at the dock, where the Wario Cruiser was. The thing was being guarded by the aforementioned water enemies, as the trio plotted their next strategy.
"Do either of you know how to pilot a cruiser?" Olivier asked.
"Not exactly," Makoto told Armstrong.
"What did happen to the helmsman anyways?" Marceline asked. "I haven't seen him around this place."
"Why I'm right here!" Piped up a Toad with a conductor hat and coat. This toad even had some stubble and smoked a pipe. "Was waitin' for someone to show up."
"Well that was weirdly convenient." Makoto admitted.
"Yeah, almost like some lazy writing in a fanfic," Marceline told the phantom thief.
"Uh, what?" Makoto said in confusion.
"Trust me, you wouldn't wanna get stuck listening to Simon's fanfics from when he was still poobrain," Marceline added some context.
"Now, I presume you're the captain of our ship, then?" Olivier asked the toad.
"Yeah, you can call me, Liff T., and I'm prepared for whatever plans you girls got." Liff T. pitched in.
"Alright then, I shall fend off the guards while the rest of you go inside the ship, and get it out." Olivier told everyone.
"Nah, I'll join in," Marceline said. "Don't think you could hold these guys off by yourself."
"Armstrong, this really…" Makoto tried to say before Olivier slammed her sword on the ground, "THESE ARE ORDERS, NIIJIMA! FOLLOW THEM WELL!"
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Makoto: Yikes, she and my sister would get along swimmingly…speaking of lazy writing in a fanfiction, how is it that we've been doing these confessionals all episode despite the Wario Cruiser being taken hostage?
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Makoto looked out the room she was in, and found this was some random island in the middle of the waters of the fortress. Said room was a box that's interior merely looked like the confessional room, and Daffy was right there.
"Yeah, I've just been dragging you guys through plotholes when you want to say something." Daffy informed.
"Daffy!? Didn't you get eliminated!?" Makoto said in slight shock.
"I jumped through a different plothole."
"Huh, the more you know…"
"It's time to get back to the story now," Daffy opened a hole up and grabbed Makoto.
"Wait wha-" Makoto was then thrown through the plothole, "AAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHH!"
"The sewer!?" Usopp & Judy yelled out at the same time.
Qwark had brought Usopp & Judy to a Warp Pipe that had weird slime all over it. It smelled rancid too, and it apparently led to the sewers of the fortress.
"Yes, and by we, I mean you two!" Qwark pointed at them.
"What?" Judy said before Qwark then tossed the former & Usopp down the warp pipe.
"DAAAAAAAMN YOOOOOOUUUUUU, QWWWWAAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRK!" Usopp exclaimed.
"REMEMBER TO OPEN UP A PASSAGEWAY FOR ME!" Qwark yelled, "Because such perfection doesn't belong in a sewer."
Bowser Jr. had scratches and bruises all over him as Doflamingo kicked him again.
"H-hey, D-doffy, isn't this just a little extreme?" Jiminy tried to reason with the pink terror.
"I consider this to be merciful." Doflamingo told Jiminy bluntly.
"There's good in everyone, There's good in everyone, There's good in everyone, There's good in everyone, There's good in everyone, There's good in everyone, There's good in everyone…" Jiminy said to himself rapidly.
Bowser was sure getting an earful from a now fully dressed Hugh Jazhol.
"YOUR DESIGN IS WRETCHED, YOUR STATUES ARE ABSOLUTELY HIDEOUS, THE COLORS ARE ALL WRONG, AND WE SAID JELLO INSTEAD OF LAVA!" Hugh yelled at the Koopa King.
"GAH! Is this all ya do!?" Bowser clenched his head, "Just whine and whine about MY fortress and what I DO with it! That's it, GUAAAAAAAARDS! TAKE THIS CHUMP BACK TO THE DUNGEON!"
Kamek then appeared, "But your bossiness, what about the Castle Owners Association?"
"I don't give a patootie anymore! If these Castle Association shmucks care so darn much, then we ain't stayin' here next year!"
"W-W-W-WHAAAAAAAT!? YOU CAN'T DO THIS TO ME, OF ALL PEOPLE!" Hugh screeched as two Sledge Bros grabbed him by the arms. "YOU WILL HEAR ABOUT THIS FORM OUR PRESIDENT, BOWSEEEEEER, YOU WILL HEAAAAAAR FROM HIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIM!"
"That's it, Kamek, take those prisoners out, tell them to gather their loser band, get their ship, and SCRAM!" Bowser commanded the wizard.
"Why do that, your ugliness?" Kamek asked.
"Cuz I'm having this fortress bombed…by a Banzai Bill, and I'd rather not get pointless blood on my hands. What would Peaches think?" Bowser explained.
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Kamek: Wow, that is saying quite a lot when King Bowser doesn't care about Mr. Jazhol's fate.
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Daffy pointed at Kamek, "WHAT ARE YOU DOIN' HERE!? YOU'RE NOT EVEN A CONTESTANT!"
"My apologies, good sir," Kamek said. "I saw this island and thought I could use this to practice my meditation."
"WELL THIS AIN'T A PUBLIC ISLAND!" Daffy yelled. "NOW GET OUT!"
"I'll pay you handsomely if you let me stay here," Kamek rolled out a bag of coins as bribery.
Daffy's eyes turned to dollar signs as he snatched the bag up, "Fine, but make it short."
Olivier & Marceline fought off the many Cheep Cheeps & Bloopers that came their way.
"This is way easier than I thought," Marceline whacked a Blooper with her axe as the Wario Cruiser started circling the fortress.
"I wouldn't get too overconfident," Olivier told Marceline right before none other than Gooper Blooper rose up from the water.
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Marceline: Ugh, me and my big mouth…what's this wizard guy doing here?
Kamek: Imagine an ocean…..
Daffy: Looks like you're done for Line, you screwed up the challenge by jinxing things, and that's how everyone else other than me has been going out!
Marceline: That's not true…there was…huh, you're right.
Daffy: What'd I say, goth girlie? Heck, what'd you say, lazy writing?
Marceline: Ha, I doubt I'll get eliminated for that of all things though.
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Olivier sliced at Gooper Blooper's tentacles as Gooper spat ink at her. Marceline was able to claw at the other side of Gooper as the Cruiser sailed around the walls.
Marcie found a room at the top of the fortress where all there was were a bunch of buttons. One of them said "Open Gate", and of course she pressed it.
"Alright, better hope I make it to there in time," Marcie thought to herself.
Usopp & Judy flew out of another pipe outside the fortress, as huge amounts of nasty ass sewer water poured out of the pipe.
"THE CRUISER'S RIGHT THERE!" Judy told Usopp.
Usopp then called out, "I AM NEVER TRUSTING QWARK'S CRAZY PLANS AGAIN!"
Makoto spoke through a megaphone that was actually Red, "CALLING ALL TOTAL DRAMA GOLD CONTESTANTS AND INTERNS! WE HAVE RELEASED THE WARIO CRUISER AND WILL BE ESCAPING IMMEDIATELY!"
"Isn't this a stupid idea," Ashley told Makoto. "You're just telling Bowser's army where we are."
"We're a strong bunch," Makoto explained, "I'm confident we can handle it."
"Suit yourself," Ashley scoffed.
SpongeBob was being chased by a ton of Goombas, wanting his autograph.
"GET BACK 'ERE, SPONGEBOY! I HAVE ZO MUCH TO LEARN FROM YOU!" Goomtoine yelled.
SpongeBob laughed nervously, "I REAAAALLY GOTTA GET BACK TO THE SHIP, GUYS! I CAN'T STAY HERE FOREVER YOU KNOW!"
SpongeBob took a right as other TD Gold people made their ways towards the exit as well.
"OUT OF THE WAY, BEAR!" Waluigi elbowed Ted.
"HEY, IT AIN'T MY FAULT THE TREASURE WAS MEMORABILIA OF SOME CHICK!" Ted argued.
"THIS IS CRAAAAAAAAZZZZZZYYYYYYY!" Hot Dog Water zoomed past everyone while riding on a Bullet Bill.
All of the TD Gold competitors, interns, and host landed safely on the Cruiser as the Goombas all stood at the doorway.
"WAH! WHERE'S THE CRYSTAL!?" Wario yelled as everyone else noticed they haven't heard a peep from it.
"Oh no, don't tell me," Usopp groaned, fearing the worst.
"I've been in your back pocket, the whole time." The crystal said as Wario turned around.
"Oh, why haven't you said anything, rockface?" Wario asked.
"I was…." The crystal droned off for a little bit.
Long ago, the Mushroom Kingdom was under attack from another kingdom. Merla didn't even know, as she had already disappeared. King Toadstool sighed in regret as Merla ran through his mind.
Meanwhile, in the Koopa Kingdom, Bowser's grandfather got his hands on a familiar crystal.
"Well, you have the power tooooooooo…."
"...it's none of your business." The crystal said in an oddly sincere tone.
There was an awkward silence, before Wario said, "Wah, that was awkward."
"Sounds like she's got some baggage," Trucy assumed.
Eventually, Marceline flew on board, holding Olivier. "Weird how Bowser hasn't sent anyone to stop us."
Kamek had told Bowser the news of everyone escaping, to which Bowser just laughed it off.
"Good riddance, it was getting really tiring dealing with all of these shenanigans, all daaaaaay…." Bowser say the state Bowser Jr. was in, "JUNIOOOOOOR!"
Bowser rushed over to Junior and held him, "SPEAK TO ME, SON! WHAT THE CRUD HAPPENED!?"
"D-dad?" Bowser Jr. said weakly, "It was that pink freak with the sunglasses. He was crazy, and he had this bug too."
Bowser was too enraged to even hear past 'pink freak with sunglasses' as it started to rain outside and ominous music played.
"N-NO! YOUR ANGRINESS! YOU CAN'T…YOU'LL…"
"HOW DARE THEY! THEY SHOULD'VE KEPT THEIR HANDS OFF MY SOOOOOOOOOOOOO…!"
The fortress collapsed as rock music was now playing and Bowser had transformed into a bigger, darker version of himself. Usopp's jaw was dropped as he made tiny squeaking noises.
"WHAT THE FRICK IS THAT!?" Taco yelled.
"WAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHH!" Waluigi screamed.
"NO!" Kamek yelled, "HE'S TURNED INTO FURY BOWSER AGAIN!"
"FURY WHAT!?" Ludwig exclaimed.
"TAKE COVER! HIS FURINESS HAS NO IDEA WHAT HE'S DOING AS OF NOW!" Kamek told the Koopaling.
The Wario Cruiser was sailed as fast as it could. But there were waves all over the place, and hard turns had to be made as Fury Bowser shot tons of fire at the ship.
"WE'RE NOT GONNA MAKE IIIIIIIT!" Usopp was sobbing waterfalls of tears.
"AND WALUIGI WILL DIE HEARING BAGGY PANTS' ANNOYING CRYIIIIING!" Waluigi cried as well.
"AND I'LL HAVE TO LISTEN TO MISTER TOOTHPICK'S OBNOXIOUS VOIIIICE!"
"AND I'LL HAVE TO LOOK AT THAT UGLY SCHNOZZ THAT PINOCCHIO HAS!"
"DON'T WORRY, EVERYONE!" Qwark announced, "FOR I HAVE A SOLUTION!"
"NO MORE SOLUTIONS, QWARK!" Judy yelled.
Qwark whipped out his ray gun, and prepped a shot. Fury Bowser jumped very high, and the Wario Cruiser quickly moved out of the way as the Koopa King landed. A huge shockwave occurred, destroying the vacation fortress. Fortunately for the Wario Cruiser, a huge wave threw it forward, which made it dodge the shockwave. Qwark kept preparing his shot, until finally…
WHOOOOOOOSH!
The Wario Cruiser was pushed forward, and Walter took out that Bullet Bill Blaster he stole.
"Watch how a real man does it, spandex boy." Walter said to himself before shooting one last Bullet Bill.
KABOOOOOOOOOOOOM!
The Wario Cruiser went so fast, that it flew over what remained of the fortress walls. The sun eventually came out, which turned Bowser back into his normal self.
"Uuuugggghhhhh, I don't feel so good," Bowser blacked out.
"Never, wanna do that again!" Marceline said after everything was over.
"You think that was bad? Try a marine base." Usopp replied, exasperated.
"We should all get some rest for the next episode," Penny told everyone.
"Nuh-uh-uh! This WAS-a-the next episode!" Wario told Penny.
"..."
"WHAAAAAAAAAAT!?" Every contestant and intern yelled at Wario.
"I had a bunch of Lakitus record the whole thing and make it an episode!" Wario revealed.
"Why would you do that!?" Makoto asked in genuine shock.
"Because such a high stakes situation makes for a great-a-challenge! And…uh…Team Flower wins since…the girl got the ship back."
"That's straight bullshit." Walter's eye twitched as he said that.
"Time to pick out what chump's going-a-home, 'Shrooms! Wahahahahahahaaaaaa!" Wario walked off.
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Waluigi: He only declared the flowers the winner just because his precious pEnNy is on that-a-team. That-a-fatso!
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Judy & Usopp sat in the main sitting area of the Wario Cruiser. They both got some food from the buffet as they talked.
"Who are we even gonna vote off?" Judy asked. "This was hardly a challenge at all."
"Man, I dunno," Usopp scratched his head.
"I know," Judy & Usopp flinched as Walter stood at the table. "I already know just who to eliminate, I only need the votes."
"Walter," Judy's ears flopped down. "What are you trying to pull here?"
"Hey, I'm just an old man, y'know," Walter raised his hands up in defense. "I'm not pulling anything."
"You think I haven't noticed how chummy you've been with Ted & Marcie lately?" Judy pointed in accusation.
"You gonna work with me or not?" Walter asked. "Because I had a solution to your little dilemma."
"What's this solution then, baldie?" Usopp tapped his finger on the table.
Walter then told them both something….
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Judy: I'd rather not conform to what Walter wants me to do…but he's kind of right…
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
"Team Mushroom, second loss, huh." Mona said to the team. "Should I explain what happens here, again?"
"Just get on with it-a-lady!" Waluigi rudely said.
"So pushy," Mona sighed. "Well, the first statues go to…"
"Ted."
"Walter."
"Marcie."
"Usopp."
"Judy."
"Waluigi."
"And Armstrong."
Marceline & Qwark sat as they both waited to get their Wario statue.
"Qwark, you shoved some of your teammates into a sewer, and they were less than pleased to say the least. Marceline, guess it's because you jinxed Gooper Blooper showing up?"
"Are you serious!?" Marceline raised an eyebrow.
"The last one safe is…
…
…
…
…
…
…
…
…
…
…
…
…
…
…
…
…
…
…
…
…
…
…
…
…
…Qwark."
Waluigi's jaw dropped as Qwark grabbed his statue, and Usopp just stood with his hat over his eyes. Marceline's eyes were wide at first too, before she laughed.
"Wow, didn't expect that." Marceline said after laughing.
"HER!? YOU ALL WENT FOR-A-HER!?" Waluigi was speechless.
"I gotta admit, I'm quite shocked, myself," Olivier admitted.
Another few moments earlier…
"I wanna get that vampire chick out," Walter told Usopp & Judy.
"Marceline!?" Judy yelled out in surprise. "Why!?"
"No way, Jose, she's been a good friend this whole time!" Usopp slammed the table.
"Listen to me…" Walter told the duo, "Out of all of us, she's one of the more powerful members. Wouldn't that pose a threat in the future? Better to weed these threats out sooner than later."
"...Damn it, you're right…" Usopp cursed. "I don't like this though."
"Look, long nose, you have to think strategically. There's not always gonna be someone who screws up the whole challenge that we can all vote for. You can either vote with me or against me, don't come crying to me when you don't make it to the merge for being weaker than everyone else." Walter walked away.
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Ted: I'd hate to vote out such a hot goth mommy, but I gotta do it for Waltie.
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Waluigi: Wah, that Qwark guy is really annoying. Waluigi picks him!
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Usopp: …..sorry, Line…
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Qwark: Tough choice, but I'd have to say Clubber Lang. He seems like a liability here.
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Votes Altogether;
Marceline: Walter, Ted, Hot Dog Water, Usopp, Judy
Qwark: Waluigi, Marceline
Ted: Olivier, Qwark
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
"Well, guess this is goodbye, everyone." Marceline said to her team. "Was fun while it lasted."
"See ya, Line!" Usopp waved.
"Farewell, soldier," Olivier gave Marceline a rare smile.
Marceline grabbed her bags and flew off the ship.
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Usopp: Sheesh, sure as hell hope I don't end up dealing with harder decisions. I'll see her again anyways, it's not too bad.
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Bowser's minions sailed away as Bowser sat in what remained of his vacation fortress, holding his son.
"This vacation sucked!" Bowser spat out, "I ain't comin' back to this place, that's for sure.
"Papa, I'm not that hurt!" Bowser Jr. was mostly healed now. "Let me go!"
"Not a chance, sport!" Bowser scolded. "Ya still have some wounds. I'm takin' you straight to our doctor when we get back."
"But I don't wanna!" Junior protested.
"Too bad," Bowser said again.
As more of the Koopa Troop left, a mini TV suddenly turned on.
"As you see, it is I, Doctor Ivo Rrrrrrrrrrobotnik!" A fat man wearing red said, "And I've come to make an announcement! I have decided to make my very own spin off of this Total Drama Gold show. I will assure you, this show will be spectacular, terrific, truly an event for the ages!"
Bowser paused as he saw this ad, and then he grinned.
"What's that Doctor Egghead guy doing on TV?" Junior asked before he saw his dad grin. "Oh! Papa, are you gonna go on that show!"
"Yeah, why not, show those Gold schnooks how it's really done!" Bowser put Junior on his shoulder. "And pay a visit to an…old friend…"
20th: Mokey Mouse (Mokey's Show) [Team Flower]
19th: Kirby (Kirby) [Team Mushroom]
18th: Amy Rose (Sonic the Hedgehog) [Team Flower]
17th: Daffy Duck (Looney Tunes) [Team Flower]
16th: Marceline (Adventure Time) [Team Mushroom]
Notes:
Well, this is my longest episode so far. We also say goodbye to Marceline, kind of tried to do more of an unexpected elimination here with her. Special thanks to CYOAFAN/Historiador88 for the challenge idea, they pretty much gave me the idea of the cast ending up in enemy territory, and I decided to make it a Bowser fortress. This is also heavily inspired by the G-8 arc from One Piece, so there's that too. Not much to say other than, see you all next episode!
Chapter Text
My name is Mike, come on let's robo-karaoke
Get up on the stage and sing a little ditty for me
Off key? No not me, I'm a karaoke machine
I got two mics on my head and you sing into me
Yeah, don't you wanna, don't you wanna
Don't you wanna karaoke?
Off key? No not me, I'm a karaoke machine
A blue robot sat at a circular white table in a room that was very gray, very blue, and had neon blue lights underneath the desk and around the ceiling. The ceiling had fake stars painted on it and there was a fancy looking lamp on the table.
Host: Mike
"Welcome one and all, to the first of Mike's Midnight Hour. Starring me, Mike." The robot said in a monotone voice before a short man wearing some type of robot headset ran in.
"MIKE! WHAT DO YOU THINK YOU'RE DOING!" The man, Dr. Crygor, exclaimed, "THIS IS SUPPOSED TO BE MY SEGMENT! YOU HEAR ME!?"
Crygor could have sworn he just saw Mike make a mocking hand gesture before the robot quickly stopped.
"...Intruder detected," Mike said to his creator, "Must eliminate him."
"MIKE, STOP THIS THIS INSTANT!" Crygor scolded his robot before Mike pressed a red button.
This red button caused multiple ray guns to come out of the ceiling and aim right at Dr. Crygor.
"Eep!" Was all Crygor could let out.
"EXTERMINATE HIM! EXTERMINATE!" The ray guns yelled as they all shot at Crygor.
"AAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHH!"
After Dr. Crygor was chased out, a woman wearing a red jacket with a yellow apron entered the room.
Co-host: 5-Volt
"Hopefully this is the right place," 5-Volt said to herself, "Was such a pain making sure 9-Volt was in bed."
She blinked a little upon seeing Mike, "Mike? I thought Dr. Crygor would be hosting this?"
"My creator was busy." Mike told her bluntly.
"Fair enough, I suppose." 5-Volt didn't question it as she sat at the desk. "Have you started recording by any chance?"
Mike yawned before 5-Volt gave him a look.
"The show has started." Mike replied, "Not my fault some people are slow."
5-Volt cleared her throat, "Hello Total Drama fans, I am 5-Volt and this is the Midnight Hour. Here we will interview previously eliminated contestants so that you can all get a chance to see your favorite characters again!"
"...and Mokey, cough, cough," Mike remarked in a quiet tone.
"Huh, for some strange reason, Mokey hasn't attended." 5-Volt looked at the guest list.
"...PREPARING….FOR…..REEEEEVAAAAAAAAANNNNNNN-" Mokey screamed.
"Good luck getting answers from that pest," Mike sassed again before quickly going silent as 5-Volt looked at him.
"Something doesn't seem right here," 5-Volt said in skepticism.
"Let's not keep everyone waiting," Mike said, "Announcing contestants…"
"Kirby. Amy. Daffy, & Marceline."
The 4 mentioned, alongside an circular orange creature wearing a bandana, walked out of a room and sat on a couch that rose up from the ground.
"You are not a contestant." Mike glared at the bandana wearing creature.
"H-hi, I'm Bandana Dee!" The spear wielder introduced himself, "Don't mind me, I'm here to translate for Kirby…he doesn't talk all that much, you see."
"Poyo!"
"I see," 5-Volt smiled, "Well, how have you guys been since your eliminations?"
"RIGGED! RIGGED! IT WAS ALL RIGGED!" Daffy complained, "IT'S ALL THANKS TO THOSE PEOPLE ON THAT DISCORD APP THAT ALWAYS BET I'D BE NEXT ON THAT CHOPPING BLOCK! I'LL TELL YA, HOW COULD SOMEONE LIKE ME BE OUT EARLY!"
"Dude, will you just get over it already?" Marceline rolled her eyes. "You don't see me whining this much about getting out."
"It's not been so easy," Amy began. "I really thought I was over my whole Sonic obsession, and it ended up costing me the win. But other than that, that hotel Wario booked is soooooo fancy. Losing's not so bad when I get to live like a queen until the game's over."
"Hotel…Wario booked?" 5-Volt said in confusion while Mike secretly snickered in the background.
Mike typed on a website for a luxury hotel in Sarasaland. He typed in somebody, who definitely isn't Wario,'s credit card information and booked it.
"You said it, Ames," Marceline high-fived the pink hedgehog, "I could stay at that place forever."
"Poyo! Poyo!" Kirby pitched in.
"Kirby says he loves the food they serve there," Bandana Dee told everyone.
"But I can't believe a spin-off is being hosted by Eggman!" Amy said in disgust.
"Just from your tone," Marceline guessed, "I'd say this guy's bad news?"
"That's a nice way of putting it," Amy groaned. "He held me at gun point once!"
"Big deal, I get held at gunpoint all the time." Daffy scoffed. "Isn't it strange how that rat isn't there?"
"Meh," Marceline shrugged. "That thing seemed completely wack. I think we dodged a bullet there."
"Now, we've got some questions for you guys sent from viewers of the show," 5-Volt told the former contestants.
"Well, what are we waiting for?" Asked Marceline, "Let's get this show rolling!"
"Alright, this question is for Daffy, from 'Bugs Bunny'." 5-Volt announced.
"Oh no," Daffy spat out.
Mike then read in a New York Accent, "Ey Daffy, see ya lost our bet, now I think ya owe me 10 bucks, doc."
"Yeah, yeah, yeah!" Daffy said in anger. "I get it, I didn't make it to the merge! Happy now, wabbit!?"
"Maybe if you weren't such an as-" Mike was interrupted.
"Wow, that's some resentment you've got…" Amy inquired.
"You have no idea, pinky." Daffy rolled his eyes.
"This next question is for Marceline from 'Princess Bubblegum'," Mike announced.
5-Volt read, "Hey, Marcie, didn't think you'd be eliminated so soon. Did you find out that your friend voted you out?"
"Hey, Bonnie," Marceline said casually, "Yeah, I found out. I'll admit, I was disappointed at first, especially that he so easily fell for Walter's tricks, but it's all cool. I get it, I was a threat."
"That sure is a mature view, Marceline." 5-Volt commended the vampire queen.
"I never really cared whether I won or not," The vampire admitted. "I was just looking for something to pass the time with."
"Poyo!"
"How cliche," Daffy rolled his eyes. "Next you're gonna go on about how friendship is magic."
"Sounds like you're asking for a taste of the Piko Piko Hammer," Amy clenched her fist.
"Next is for Amy, from 'Sonic'," 5-Volt said.
"Hi, Sonic!" Amy seemed to be on the verge of fangirling before composing herself.
Mike read in a more 90's type voice, "Yo, Amy, sorry ya got third elimination. I'm gonna keep this brief since a certain egghead is plotting something, but I just gotta ask, how did you think that Pokemon was me!?"
Amy blushed, "Uh…well…I didn't get a very good look at him…"
Suddenly, footage of Amy mistaking a black & red hedgehog for Sonic, and then a white hedgehog as well, and even a werehog were shown on the screen behind Mike & 5-Volt.
"HOW DID YOU GET THAT FOOTAGE!?" Amy's face was completely red with embarrassment.
"Talk about obsess…DOOOOOOOYYYYYYYYY!" Daffy got hit on the head by the Piko Piko Hammer.
"Oopsie," Mike said in his regular voice. "I have no idea how that got there."
"These are our first questions from an anonymous viewer. This one goes by the name of 'vannuysca'," Mike told everyone.
"The first question is for Kirby," 5-Volt read. "What is the best thing you ate during your stay on the trip?"
Kirby scratched his head before saying, "Poyo, poyo, poyyyyo!"
"WHAT!? SERIOUSLY!?" Bandana Dee yelled in shock.
"Whoa, that's quite a bonkers reaction," Marceline said in surprise.
"The best thing was…Taco…" Bandana Dee told everyone as the room went silent.
"Like the contestant?" 5-Volt asked in concern. "Uhhhhh, next question…."
"Marceline, this viewer requests that you sing an original song based on your experiences on the show." Mike told the rock star.
"Heh, yeah, this type of thing is pretty easy for me," Marceline got her guitar out. "Now give it a 3, 2, 1…
(Insert song lyrics because I am not a song writer here.)"
"WOW!" Amy said with wide eyes. "That was amazing, Marceline!"
"Poyo! Poyo!" Kirby added.
"Meh…" Daffy said indifferently, "Heard better."
"Seriously!? Like what!?" Bandana Dee fell over when he heard that.
"To Daffy," 5-Volt read, "Why did you join the show during duck season? Didn't you know rabbit season was around the corner?"
"Like anybody could hunt me while I was on the show," Daffy laughed. "I signed on for my own reasons, that are none of your business."
"Dunno, dude, sounds like you're hiding something," Marceline told the duck.
"What? I would never do such a thing!" Daffy defended himself.
"Yeah right." Bandana Dee & Amy both remarked in unison.
"And the last question is for Amy," Mike then asked, "Did you know Eggman was hosting his own season of this show?"
"Well, we already know the answer to that," The vampire queen replied.
"Yeah, I know Eggman well, and he's definitely got something up his sleeve." Amy said in suspicion.
"Next questions are from a viewer named 'GoodGuyGary'." 5-Volt read.
"Hey! That's that same pervert who got my name misspelled as Daffy DOG!" Daffy slammed his hands down on Mike's table. "How dare he compare me to a MUTT!"
"Daffy, get off the table," 5-Volt scolded. "To Kirby, would you…eat Logan Paul's Lunchly?"
"Poyo?" Kirby turned his head.
"Uh, what's Lunchly?" Bandana Dee asked. "And who's Logan Paul?"
"Don't ya worry about who Logan Paul is," Daffy then pulled out some budget Lunchables and pushed them to Kirby, "We need to answer this question."
"Is that moldy cheese!?" Amy pinched her nose as she noticed the box smelled funky.
Kirby then inhaled the thing as everyone looked in anticipation.
"...BLEEEEEEEEE-" Kirby vomited everywhere before…
Technical difficulties, please stand by.
"No more of that Lunchly stuff, okay?" 5-Volt said after mopping the floor.
"That stuff must be godawful if it even made Kirby vomit," Daffy commented.
"To Amy," Mike read, "How does it feel that there's an alternate version of you who got to the final 7 without even trying?"
Amy laughed, "This guy's joking, right? Soon one of those guys from the prank shows will come out and we will all have a laugh."
"No it's true," Daffy replied. "I can't mention the fic from orders by our author, but it's true. Hell, that version of you hasn't been relevant in like who knows how many chapters now."
Amy had no idea what the hell Daffy was talking about with a 'fic' and 'chapters', but she was starting to see red. "WWWWWWHHHHHHHHAAAAAAAAAAAATTTTTTTTTTT! I TRY MY BEST HERE, AND SOME ALTERNATE VERSION OF ME GETS TO THE FINAL SEVEN WITHOUT EVEN TRYING!? I'M GONNA-"
"Calm down, Amy!" Marceline put a hand on the hedgehog's shoulder. "It's just some parallel universe, nothing worth going all funky junk over."
Amy took deep breaths, "Yeah, you're right. Maybe if Sonic finds out there's a version of me that went to the final seven…"
"We get it, little miss stalker," Daffy replied.
"S-STALKER!?" Amy yelled out, "I'M NOT A STALKER!"
"This time there's no way out of marrying me!" Daffy pulled out a recorder tape and played it.
BONK!
Daffy got another taste of the Piko Piko Hammer.
"For your information, I was only joking there." Amy said in defense, "I wasn't actually gonna force Sonic to marry me. I don't think I could force him."
"To Daffy," 5-Volt read, "I've got no remooooooooooooorssssse-WHAT HAPPENED ON THE SHIP!?"
"You okay, 5-Volt!?" Marceline reeled in shock.
"I dunno, lots of things happened." Daffy shrugged.
"Just, read it," 5-Volt handed the paper to the contestants.
As the contestants read the comment, Amy gasped, Marceline took a few steps back in shock, and Kirby scratched his head at everyone else freaking out.
"WHAT!? What happened while I was gone!?" Amy said in shock.
"Poyo?" Kirby tilted his head in confusion.
"Oh…those guys…" Daffy grumbled before his PTSD of a certain video came back to haunt him. "AAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHH!"
"Okayyyy, guess I wasn't there for those intruders." Marceline added.
"Don't worry, I got those guys back," Daffy reassured everyone. "That's what they all get for saying slurs all the time."
"Didn't your old cartoons have bla-" Mike fake coughed before going silent as 5-Volt looked again.
"To Marceline," Mike read, "You don't matter, lol."
"Rude," Marceline rolled her eyes. "At least I don't probably sit in my mom's basement, probably writing fanfics about some girl from Pokemon's feet or something."
"Isn't that a little harsh?" 5-Volt asked.
"Meh, they insulted me, I insult them." The vampire queen shrugged.
"Where did that Pokemon thing even come from?" 5-Volt asked.
"I dunno, just have a feeling."
"Next question is from 'TheSupeMan'," 5-Volt read, "Amy, would you go into love mode if Sonic was here, even if he was a fake?"
"NO!" Amy immediately said.
"Let's test that theory, shall we?" Daffy pressed a remote that summoned a cardboard cutout of Sonic.
"Ha ha, very funny," Amy fake laughed, "I know I mistook Shadow…and Silver(?), I guess, for Sonic once, but this cardboard cutout will not trick me-"
"Way past cool!" The cardboard cutout said through a speaker.
"SSSSSSOOOOOOOOOOONNNNNIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIICCCCCCCCCCC!" Amy tackled the cardboard cutout.
Amy then got up and realized, "Oh no, now I'm gonna be known as the girl that tackles cardboard cutouts."
"To Daffy," Mike read, "How's Porky going to feel if he finds out this show was your only shot for fixing the roof?"
Daffy's eyes bulged out as a glass break could be heard, "How'd ya know about that!?"
Marceline laughed, "Yeah Daffy, how's Porky gonna feel."
"Look, I'll just tell him I need more money for back surgery and use his money for the roo-" Daffy was interrupted by the enraged noises of a ceratin pig bursting through the door.
"UUUUUUUUUUAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRRRRGGGGGHHHHHHHHHH!" Porky came running right at Daffy as the latter's mouth slowly went agape.
Porky tackled Daffy and they both rolled to the room next door as beating noises could be heard.
POW! WHAM! BANG!
"Boys! Will you break it up!?" 5-Volt called out to no avail.
"Don't interrupt the show," Mike said as he pulled out a soda.
Marceline shrugged as she took some shrimp out from a glass, went to the room, and enjoyed the show. In that room, Porky was throwing Daffy all over the place, beating on him, and slamming him against the walls.
Daffy got up after being thrown and said, "WAIT, DON'T THROW THAT! THAT'S A CUSTOM STATUE I HAD MADE BY THAT HOTEL!" Porky had his hands on a mini-statue Daffy had of himself.
"TH-TH-THAT YOU BOUGHT WITH MY MONEY!" Porky tossed the statue at Daffy, who ducked in time.
"Wow, must have been some roof, huh." Marceline commented.
"I…may or may not have used 1,000 dollars from Porky on fireworks for the Fourth of July and used them inside his house…" Daffy explained.
"HOW C-C-C-COULD YOU LIE TO M-M-M-ME!" Porky squealed, "Y-Y-YOU TOLD ME IT WAS FOR YOUR B-B-B-BACK SURGERY!"
"I'm sorry," Daffy 'apologized', "I was afraid that if you knew what I would spend the money on, you wouldn't give it to me."
"I-I-I WOULDN'T HAVE!"
"See, you just proved my point! How am I the bad guy here!?"
"A-A-AND YOU LOST Y-Y-Y-YOUR ONLY CHANCE OF PAYING ME B-B-B-BACK!?" Porky slammed Daffy on the ground a few more times as Marceline kept eating shrimp and watching.
"Okay, I've had enough," Marceline said before flying back.
Porky stormed out of the room before Daffy limped back to the couch.
"You okay, buddy?" Bandana Dee asked.
"Get on with it," Daffy spat out.
Mike then read, "From 'PapyBoi', Kirby, have you tried using a Mouthful Mode on the Cruiser."
"Poyo!" Kirby said before Bandana started panicking.
"I don't think that's a good idea to give to Kirby," Bandana Dee sweat dropped.
"To Amy," 5-Volt said, "Do you know if your friends have competed in other reality shows like you just did?"
"Good question," Amy tapped her chin. "I know Big once competed on Wheel of Fish."
The host looked as Big reeled in the last fish that was on the wheel. There was a pile of fish next to the fisherman, who didn't seem to get the idea of the game.
"Boy, those were good catches," Big said, oblivious.
"...STUPID!" The host pointed at the cat, "YOU'RE SO STUUUUUPIIIIIIIIIIID!"
"I don't think anyone else has though," Amy then held in some laughter as she said, "Maybe I can make a bet with Shadow and if he loses he has to compete in one."
"Now that's just evil, Ames," Marcelie replied.
"It's only fair after I paid for his concert ticket," Amy shrugged.
"To Daffy," Mike said, "What is your best money making scheme yet?"
"I can't answer with just one!" Daffy whined. "A star like me has countless to list. Like that one time I stole those automatic carrot peeler ideas from the wabbit-"
The screen then showed footage of Daffy being chased by an angry mob as he's then hit by a wrecking ball.
"WHERE'D YOU GET THAT!?" Daffy screamed.
5-Volt giggled, "We have our secrets."
"Tch, so that one went wrong," Daffy scoffed. "But nothing went wrong during the time I sold entire rolls of toilet paper for marked up prices."
The screen showed Daffy getting chased by an angry mob again.
Daffy's face was getting red, "But most of all, my greatest scheme yet was when I made my own movie, The Day the Earth-"
The screen showed all the recent news of how the Looney Tunes are being treated and that caused Daffy to scream as steam blew out of his nonexistent ears. Daffy grabbed a baseball bat out of nowhere and started smashing the screen until it was completely cracked.
"Daffy!" 5-Volt scolded, "You're behaving like a child, and you owe us a new TV screen by the way."
"Take the money," Daffy threw paper dollars that had his face drawn on it.
"This isn't going to be nearly enough to afford a new screen." 5-Volt poked Daffy, "...and is this counterfeit money!?"
"Counterfeit? What it's not valid money? What is this, Soviet Russia!?" Daffy argued.
5-Volt's face turned into that of a demon as she roared at Daffy, who sat back down, "Yes, mommy."
"To be fair," Bandana Dee said in defense, "You two kept picking at the poor duck until he finally-" 5-Volt gave Bandana a glare that literally glowed. "Or…you can just keep doing what you're doing."
"To Marceline, would you recommend PB compete in these shows? Think she can handle the chaos?"
Marceline laughed, "Look, I love her, but Bonnie is waaaaaaaay too uptight for a show like this. I give her like a few episodes before she quits herself."
"Ya never know, there could be some other fanfi-I mean, parallel universe where that happens," Daffy commented.
"This one's to me?" 5-Volt said in confusion, "And it's from Sally from Ohio? It says, 'to 5-Volt, how do you know your son's not staying up past his bedtime again?'"
"Sounds like your son's a real rebel, huh, Miss Volt." Marceline replied with amusement.
"Don't worry," 5-Volt winked, "I'll be back very quickly."
Everyone just watched in dead silence as 5-Volt jumped into a fragment from the screen, Mario 64 style, with their jaws dropped.
"Oooooh-kayyyyyy," Marceline droned. "That just…happened…"
"Dumb human forces me to read the next question," Mike grumbled. "Amy, how come you didn't recognize Wario & Waluigi when all three of you have been in the olympics?"
"Daaaaang, the olympics?" Marceline looked at Amy, "Wario? In the olympics?"
"It's hard to believe, right?" Amy responded. "To answer your question, Sally (someone Sonic & I know has that same name funnily enough), it's been a while since the last olympics. Wario & Waluigi weren't exactly social butterflies at them, and I mostly hung out with the girls there. It took me a little to even recognize Wario."
"What a shame that series got dropped for NFTs," Daffy told Amy mockingly.
"Series?" Amy cocked an eyebrow.
"Only us fourth wall breakers would get it," Daffy winked at the screen.
5-Volt came back, "Looks like 9-Volt's still asleep. Could've sworn I heard a Switch going off in his room."
"Welcome back, co-host," Mike welcomed. "I think you have something you need to see in the other room."
"Hm? Okay?" 5-Volt went to the room next to the room everyone was in.
"Next question is from MemeKing the Third, bold to claim yourself as a king. Mokey, what is your favorite holiday after Christmas?"
Everyone looked around.
"Uh, don't know if there was a mistake," said Amy. "But Mokey isn't here right-"
"KRIMAS!" Mokey popped in out of nowhere as everyone jumped in surprise.
"MOKEY!? WHERE HAVE YOU BEEN!?" Marceline exclaimed.
Mokey just gave the vampire queen a loooooong stare until Mike asked, "What is your favorite holiday after Christmas, rodent?"
"...HALLOWEEEEEEEEEEE-" Mokey then disappeared again.
"Huh, weird," Bandana said.
"Poyo?"
5-Volt came back, "I didn't see anything there. Mike, are you sure there was something I needed to sort out?"
"...I have no data of this something you speak of," Mike lied.
"What? You aren't malfunctioning, are you, Mike?" 5-Volt asked.
"Idiot," Mike whispered.
"Well, this next question is from Historiador88, Mokey who…well, Mokey's not here so…"
"WHATTUP BOO0000OOOOOooooooiiiiIIIIIIIISSSSSSS!" Mokey reappeared as 5-Volt jumped back in shock.
"M-mokey, where di you come from?"
"OHHHHH BOIIIIIIIII!"
"Well," 5-Volt composed herself. "Historiador asks, Mokey, who ticked you off the most and should…hide from your wrath? …weird question…"
Mokey just gave a death stare as his face morphed into something looking as if it came straight out of JoJo and said, "...[white]..." before he disappeared again.
"Looks like the meth head's in for it now." Daffy commented.
"Meh, he deserves it, I'm not gonna lie." Marceline said in indifference.
"Kirby, was the cake delicious enough to be worth your elimination."
Kirby stayed silent for a full 2 minutes until, "Poyo!"
Bandana fell in exasperation, "Yes!? YES!? Kirby, I…you and your cake."
"Usopp and I had to wait hours for that stupid cake too," Marceline sighed. "No use crying over spilled milk."
"And Daffy, what would you have done during the last challenge at Bowser's castle?" 5-Volt finished.
"I sure woulda done better than Waluidiot and that teddy bear who just spent that whole episode lookin' for some fake treasure." Daffy bragged.
"Dude, like you wouldn't have been all over that," The vampire rolled her eyes. "We all know how money hungry you are."
"What? No, I'm the most generous duck there is. They called me Daffy the Generous back in high school."
"Really? 'Cuz Daffy Dork sounds more fitting." Marceline then got up close to Daffy, "Or how about, Daffy Dog?"
"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!" Daffy screeched.
"This next question is from Mr. V," Mike announced, "To Kirby, poyo or poyo?"
"Poyo!" Kirby jumped a little.
"Uh…the translation is just…poyo…no direct translation at all." Bandana Dee sweatdropped.
"...that's it? THAT'S THE QUESTION!? WHAT KINDA POINTLESS-" Daffy was about to rant before Amy interjected, "DON'T BE RUDE, DAFFY! We shouldn't insult our audience!"
"Wario does that plenty with his show," Mike whispered which caught everyone's attention.
"You say something, Mike?" Marceline furrowed her eyebrows.
"I did not, I am merely following my programming," Mike denied.
"He's been like this the whole time," 5-Volt told the cast.
"As long as he doesn't make any sly comments towards any of us," Amy replied. "I'll ignore it."
"And from a person called G-Man, he says that it doesn't matter who does more or who has more screentime, everyone here is memorable in their own right." 5-Volt read out loud.
"Aw thank you, I may not have had the most screentime, but I'm glad to have made an impression," Amy responded.
"YAWN, yeah, yeah, it's the inside that counts and dreams do come true if you believe," Daffy rolled his eyes. "Please, the two girlies are probably about as memorable as-"
"Finish that sentence," Amy pulled her hammer out and gave Daffy a blank stare.
"EEK!"
"Yeah, Daffy, what were you gonna say?" Marceline sassed.
"N-nothing." Daffy stopped.
5-Volt then read the rest of the message, "And he's sorry for giving Daffy's plot to-"
"WHAT!? THAT WAS YOOOOOOU!?" Steam came out of Daffy's ears, "I KNEW I ORIGINALLY HAD MORE TO DO HERE! YEAH, IT WAS ALL YOU!"
"Daffy, please, if you just let me finish," 5-Volt tried to calm the duck down.
"YEAH! JUST ELIMINATE ME LIKE TRASH, LIKE THAT! GIVE ME THAT MESSAGE, YOU GAVE MY PLOT TO PINOCCHIO!? HIM!? HE HAS ABOUT AS MUCH CHARISMA AS A PAPER BAG! I AM DAFFY DUCK! A BELOVED CARTOON CHARACTER WHO DESERVES-"
Finally, Daffy felt a sudden electric shock as he then fainted. Mike pulled his arm back as he changed his hand from a taser back to a hand.
"Wow," 5-Volt was wide eyed, "Looks like it'll take Daffy a while to forgive G-Man."
"Maybe if he wasn't such a jerk," Amy grumbled.
"This next one is from someone named Magolor."
"Poyo!" Kirby said in recognition
"Oh, him," Bandana said with a groan.
"You guys got some beef or something?" Marceline wondered.
"You could say that," Bandana answered. "Overpriced gem apples…"
"Man, well-"
"He also tried to take over the universe once," Bandana added.
"Oh," Marceline said in slight surprise.
"Poyo!" Kirby nudged Bandana.
"Kirby, you can't seriously trust him again after that!?" Bandana argued. "He might have opened that theme park, but I've got my eye on him."
Mike read, "Greetings, Kirby, it has been so fascinating learning about all these different universes through this show. Now, I just need you or any of your friends to answer me this, which universe would be the best to open my gem apple stand?"
"And there it is," Bandana facepalmed as best as he could with stubs for hands.
"Poyo, poyo." Kirby said.
"Kirby suggests that mall you all went to," Bandana sighed.
"Yeah, that makes sense," Amy surmised. "Ooh, how about at Twinkle Park?"
"I'd imagine those gem apples would make bank at the Candy Kingdom," Marceline added. "Besides, Finn & Jake would take care of it if this Magolor guy tried any funny business."
"Second to last question, everyone," 5-Volt said cheerfully. "From Master of Luis, Mokey, why were you so mean and rude to everyone,"
"Because that thing's a complete nutjob, kid." Daffy butted in, all better from his electrocution. "It's as simple as that."
"Now, now, Daffy," 5-Volt sighed. "You shouldn't answer other people's questions for them."
"Anyway for the rat to not show up again is a positive for this environment." Mike bluntly stated.
"Kirby, are you always hungry?" 5-Volt asked.
"Poyo, poyo." Kirby raised his hand.
"Not always," Bandana answered. "But he's hungry a heck of a lot of the time."
"Amy, since when did you have a conflict with Sonic?"
"A conflict?" Amy asked confused. "I don't remember mentioning a conflict."
"Maybe this is about your whole love problems." Marceline guessed.
"I've been trying to improve on that, but I have my relapses," Amy scratched the back of her head in embarrassment. "And don't bring out another cardboard cutout, got it!"
"You're no fun, pinky." Daffy grumbled.
"Daffy, don't you think your idea with Buggy ended up being a disaster?"
"Hey, it's not my fault that Ronald McDonald blew up his own ship like a maroon." Daffy argued. "It got those pirates outta here anyways."
"While causing lots of property damage," Marceline remarked. "Not that I'm complaining. A little property damage makes thing much more exciting."
"Not for me!" Amy said. "I shop really hard for some of my belongings."
"How original, a pink girl who likes shopping," Daffy laughed before getting another taste of the Piko Piko Hammer.
BONK!
"And Marceline," 5-Volt finished. "Do you want to get even with Walter for eliminating you?"
"Heheh, already light years ahead of you." Marceline smirked. "I set up a little surprise for ol' Waltie for the next episode."
Amy smirked too, "We outdid ourselves there, huh, 'Line?"
"What!? You guys set up a prank!? Without ME!?" Daffy said offended.
"Poyo, poyo, poyo!" Kirby added.
"Er, looks like Kirby was part of it too," Bandana said nervously as Daffy clenched his teeth.
"Oh, I see! Just leave me outta the fun stuff! You're all dessssssspicable! You know that?" Daffy ranted.
"And now we've reached the end of our first midnight hour," 5-Volt ended off.
"Thank fungus too," Mike whispered. "I need to keep this cow outta my sho-"
"WHAT DID YOU CALL ME!?" 5-Volt roared at Mike while in her demon form.
"Aaaaaaaaaaaaa" Mike did a monotone scream.
"I KNEW YOU WERE SAYING RUDE THINGS! Go to your room, NOW, Mike!" 5-Volt pointed at the closet.
Mike sighed as he went inside the broom closet.
"Talk about awkward," Marceline said to Amy.
"I'm very sorry about that," 5-Volt apologized. "Now this final question will be from me, who are you all rooting for to win?"
"I'm confident that Usopp could take it," Marceline answered. "He may be a chicken at times, but he's got his head in the right place."
"Oh, do you loooooooove him?" Daffy said mockingly.
"Ew, gross, and I have a girlfriend, by the way." Marceline said bluntly.
"Huh, I have the feeling that you just broke some cook boy's heart" Daffy replied.
"I don't know," Amy thought. "All I know is I hope it isn't that jerk, Paul! Kick his butt for me, Penny!"
"Poyo!" Kirby gave his answer.
"He's saying Qwark?" Bandana said in confusion. "If you say so."
"Bah! I'm supposed to be the winner. ME!" Daffy was still complaining. "This whole thing is rigged."
"Give it a rest already," Marceline groaned. "Good glob, you lost. Deal with it."
"And that will be all for our first Midnight Hour! We'll see you all next time for Midnight Hour II, and until then, goodbye!" 5-Volt said to the screen.
Notes:
And that is it for our first aftermath. Special thanks to everyone who submitted questions. Not really much to say here, so see ya.
Chapter Text
"I hear you have the power to open portals to other universes," Bowser's grandfather, King Koopa III, sneered at the crystal.
"I do not know such power you speak of," The crystal back talked Koopa III.
"DON'T LIE TO ME!" Koopa III roared at the crystal, the latter didn't budge. "Fine, guess there's only one way to get some information outta you."
"Tch, and how do you plan to do that? Boring me to death," The crystal sassed.
"Even better," Koopa scraped his claw against the crystal, chipping it.
The chipping in turn, caused the crystal to feel as if it were being cut into by a big needle. The pain was so much, that the crystal was not able to hold back its screams much longer, until…
The crystal watched as Wario was looking around frantically, with a panicked look on his face.
"What is it now, Wario?" The crystal groaned. "Is this about your hideous statue?"
"I don't need any sass from-a-you, you glorified glow stick!" Wario blurted out. "You haven't even-a-been around for ANY episodes in, what, forever?"
"Spare me from your tacky reality show," The crystal told the treasure hunter off.
"WAH!? Wasn't it-a-YOU who wanted me to do this!?" Wario clenched his fist.
"I wanted you to not sell me, and to perhaps find some other way to make a quick buck," The crystal answered. "Quite frankly, I'm getting sick of this charade."
"I don't-a-care what you think, anyways," Wario dismissed the sentient artifact.
"Oh, you don't care what the people online think after that host exposed your fixation with Gus Fring?" The crystal asked.
"It's not-a-my fault those stupidos don't know business!" Wario laughed, "Now that there's no more intruders, and we aren't in-a-Bowser's castle, Wario has a plan."
"And it involves the team Penny's on winning for once?" The crystal asked.
"They won-a-last time!" Wario was not having his schemes be insulted. "As long as Penny keeps-a-winning….."
Wario then remembered something, "...I was-a-so busy last episode that I forgot to ask…Penny….why Waluigi had that-a-POWER STAR!"
Makoto sat in her room, texting her fellow Phantom Thieves, until she heard a knock on her door.
"Oh, Marcie, what brings you here?" Makoto asked.
"Hey, M," Hot Dog Water greeted, "Mind if I call you that? I wanted to see if you were up to hang around, girl."
"I have something an my plate right now, but I'll join you after I'm done." Makoto answered as she texted on last message to her friends.
Just then, while Kat & Ana were guarding the vault (not knowing about Ted & Marcie stealing the files already), the security camera blinked and started looking around.
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Makoto: It looks as if Futaba was finally able to hack into one of the security cameras. Now it's only a matter of time until she'll be able to record evidence against Wario, but until then, I'll keep my game on.
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Usopp tossed and turned while asleep, having pretty bad nightmares.
"Uuuuuuuuussssssooooooooppppppp," A ghostly version of Marceline's voice said in his dream, "Yoooooooouuuuuuu beeeeeetraaaaaaaaaayyyyyyyyyyed meeeeeeeeeeeee."
"I-it wasn't like that at all Marce!" Usopp whimpered in his dream as he was standing on a cliff. "Walter…I…"
"SILENCE!" The ghostly Marceline's eyes went red with sharp teeth showing. "YOU WILL PAAAAAAAAYYYYYYYY!"
Right when this fake Marceline slammed her guitar right on the cliff Usopp was standing on, the sniper woke up in a cold sweat.
"Man, that was some-" Usopp was quickly interrupted.
"Will ya keep it down, Usopp?" The aforementioned turned his head and saw a certain green-haired swordsman lying down on the floor. "I'm trying to get some shut-eye here!"
Just yesterday, Usopp, Taco, Reuben, Waluigi, & SpongeBob were all shooting balls at bottles as some sort of bonding experience that SpongeBob had come up with.
"It'll be so much fun!" SpongeBob told the four contestants. "We'll drink hot cocoa, and play games, and…drink hot cocoa, and-"
"Yes, SpongeBob, I think we get it," Taco told the fry cook.
Once Usopp was up, he had a confident smirk on his face, "The rest of you may have played a good game, but one should never face off against the Great Captain Usopp!"
"More like, the LAME-a-Captain Usopp!" Waluigi laughed at his rival's expense.
"LAME!? LOOK WHOSE TALKING, PINK NOSE!"
"Ya gonna shoot the bottles or not, Pinocchio?" Reuben took a bite of his sandwich as he said that.
"Alright, now this will be a demonstration of my sharp skills!" Usopp pulled his slingshot back, and shot the ball perfectly at the bottles, making them all topple over.
"WOW! THAT WAS AMAZING, USOPP!" SpongeBob gushed.
"Yeah, gotta admit," Taco shrugged. "That was a great shot."
"Aw, thanks you guys," Usopp scratched his head.
"WAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHAH!" Waluigi laughed, "Was THAT-a-the best you could do? Waluigi could make those bottles fall over in-a-less than a second!"
"I'D LIKE TO SEE YOU TRY THEN, WISE GUY!" Usopp literally butt heads with Waluigi, while Walter & Ted talked about some stuff in the background.
"Uh…guys…?" Taco tried to tell the duo about something.
The bickering long noses turned around and saw a weird looking portal.
"Oh no," Reuben groaned. "Is this some other crazy cockamamie challenge Wario's got up his sleeve."
Usopp moaned, "I still haven't recovered from getting out of that turtle's lair for crying out loud."
A bunch of race cars ZIPPED out of there as Waluigi & Usopp hugged each other while screaming.
"WHAT THE SHIT IS GOING ON THERE!?" Walter was startled himself. "And is that chick half naked!?"
"Must be one of them anime girl baddies," Ted said lustfully.
"...You need Jesus…" Walter told the bear bluntly.
Waluigi grinned as he shoved Usopp right into the cars' way, "AAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH! I'LL GET YOU FOR THIIIIIIII-"
Usopp slammed face first into the car of a familiar face, "Z-ZORO!?"
"WHAT THE-" Zoro stammered, "USOPP! GET OUTTA THE WAY! I'M TRYING TO WIN HERE!"
CRASH!
Zoro & Usopp had crashed right into a statue that Wario had just put up that day. Another portal opened as all the other mysterious racers exited through there.
"ZORO!? WHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE!?" Usopp yelled. "We have other rooms you know!"
"Couldn't find them," Zoro answered, causing the long nose to sweat drop.
"Alright, I need answers," Usopp jabbed a finger at the swordsman, "WHAT THE HECK WAS THAT!? When did you leave the Sunny!? Why were you racing against all those people!?"
"When did I leave the Sunny!?" Zoro cocked an eyebrow. "When did you leave? I sure as hell don't remember anything about straws, as for the racing, blame my shithead host!"
"Shithead host?" The duo then paused as Usopp came to the conclusion that, "You're…some alternate universe Zoro…aren't you?"
"Makes sense to me," Zoro shrugged.
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Usopp: I see that no matter the universe, he's always the same Zoro. Weird knowing there's some alternate version of me out there.

Reuben very hesitantly walked to Doflamingo's room, the former still remembering the words that the pirate had said to him. Reuben shook it off, but that thought still lingered like a roach that just wouldn't go away.
He could overhear Doflamingo talking with someone from outside the door, "...I was on top of the whole world…and then my pathetic father threw it all away…"
Another voice then said, "I know it must have been hard, Doffy, but I'm sure you made the right…"
"So I shot that man in cold blood!" Doflamingo laughed maniacally. "As a child nonetheless! I didn't need him anyways."
The other voice in a horrified tone yelled, "NO! THAT'S NOT THE ANSWER!"
Reuben's eyes shot wide open as he heard this conversation, "That guy's…a murderer!"
Reuben stepped back as he bumped into a wall. The world spun around him for a second as he grabbed his head. Sure, he & Gantu were pretty bad back when they hunted experiments, but this guy, he killed his own father.
"I have to warn Marcie," Reuben thought before Dolfamingo opened the door.
"Oh, if it isn't the minion," Doflamingo said menacingly.
Reuben took notice of a small green bug on Doffy's shoulder as the ex-warlord said, "I've got a plan for how we'll get Walter White out."
"Oh th-th-that's really nice, M-Mingo," Reuben sweated like crazy.
Doflamingo raised an eyebrow as Not-Jiminy (who is like Jiminy, but also Not-Jiminy) said, "Now now Mingo, there's always an explanation for things. Violence isn't always the answerrrrrrr, GREAT GOOSE, MINGO! WHAT ARE YOU DOING!?"
Doflamingo grabbed Reuben and slammed the latter against the wall, hard, "What's all the stuttering about? Are you hiding something?"
"N-n-no! No! What would make ya think that!?" Reuben was on the verge of shitting himself.
"I'll let you off with a warning this time," Mingo told his henchman. "But you won't be so lucky next time."
Reuben was let go before he immediately took off. Doflamingo laughed maniacally as Not-Jiminy was pacing around the former's shoulder.
Walter held a meeting with Ted & Paul, but not before he noticed someone was missing.
"Where the hell is Fleach?" Walter asked in an exasperated voice.
Paul furrowed his eyebrows, skeptically, as Ted replied, "I dunno, how's about we make more drugs."
"Like I'm going to make any more shit for you after you THREW AWAY the last stuff I made you," Walter told off Ted.
"Aw c'mon, Waltie!" Ted begged, "Ya gotta make me some more of that good stuff! I'm begging on my little bear knees."
"I've HAD it with you, bear!" Walter snapped. "I busted my ass AT 3 IN THE FUCKING MORNING, cooking that DAMN cocaine for you, only for you to throw it into the ocean!"
"That ain't fair," Ted whined, before he suddenly had a sinister grin, "If ya don't make anymore drugs for me…I'll tell everyone about our alliance!"
"WHAT!?" Paul yelled out.
"That's what this meeting was about as a matter of fact," Walter told the duo. "People are figuring out we have an alliance! That rabbit officer is onto us, we need to think of a new strategy that will get people off our asses."
"No no no no no!" Ted grabbed Walter's shirt and dragged Heisenberg down. "You're not changing the subject. Either you cook me some of the good stuff, or your ass will be overboard!"
"FINE! I'll cook you some damn meth!" Walter yelled. "HAPPY!?"
"Yes," Ted answered simply before walking out of the room. "See you in the kitchen at 3am."
Walter turned to Paul and immediately said, "We have to get this fucking bear out of here."
"Now you say that," Paul remarked.
"I don't need to take anything from you, kid," Walter talked back. "After we get rid of Ted, maybe we can make this alliance a secret again."
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Paul: Look, I knew that Alolan Teddiursa would be a liability. Why White even tried to make him work is beyond me. I know Hot Dog Water is up to something from the way she's been talking to that pink freak.

At the theater room, Penny was performing a song with Trucy, Qwark, & Taco as the audience.
"Gonna be a shining star, she's going far, Penny!" Penny finished as the three audience members clapped.
"Could use a little more pizzazz," Trucy commented. "But that was a great performance, Penny! Maybe I could pitch in with my magic tricks?"
"I gotta say," Qwark admitted. "This is much better than my action movie musical era."
"Huh, what?" Penny asked in confusion.
"Talk about a shocker," Trucy crossed her arms. "Qwark being a singer?"
"I don't wanna think about it for much longer," Taco told the girls. "Anyways, crazy what happened yesterday."
"Yesterday?" Trucy asked confused.
"You don't remember?" Taco then recapped. "Some guys came racing out of a portal and left one of Usopp's friends here."
"Oh, that's what the noise was," Trucy bonked her hat. "I was busy practicing my magic tricks. The magic panty gun was a huge success after all."
"It is very important for the show that Miss Trucy will put on tonight, ho ho," Trucy added while acting as Mr. Hat.
"A show, eh?" Qwark said in interest. "How about I lend you a hand, young lady, every show could benefit from a celebrity such as moi!"
"Hmmm, sure," Trucy shrugged. "I could always use a magic partner."
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Taco: I dunno, this doesn't seem like a good idea on Qwark's end.
Taco then looked around.
Taco: Good, he's not around. WHAT THE HECK!? Walter's gonna take over the game at this point, AND TRUCY JUST WANTS TO PUT ON A MAGIC SHOW!? What's with these people!? I am not, and will repeat, NOT gonna lose this game!
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Makoto & Hot Dog Water chatted things up, and even being able to talk to each other and just hang out.
"That must have been some bad acting from that girl," Marcie laughed.
"Yeah, Ann's heart is in the right place," Makoto continued the story she had been telling. "But she's not a good liar."
Marcie felt some relief from not having Doflamingo or Walter hanging over her for once. She & Makoto hung out at the outside garden where a ton of daisies bloomed in the sunlight and the grass was very green and very soft. Apparently, SpongeBob had been taking care of this garden since the cruiser departed.
"Say," Marcie said in curiosity. "You mentioned something about living in Japan."
"Yes, what of it?" Makoto asked.
Marcie pulled her laptop out and pulled up a certain website with a black and red color scheme. Makoto gasped as she saw what was on the laptop.
"Were the 'Phantom Thieves of Hearts' a thing in your universe?" Hot Dog Water asked. "I found this website from a multiversal VPN and found this kind of interesting."
"Oh…yeah they were a thing…" Makoto answered vaguely. "They disbanded after their leader was caught…so they've just been old news."
"What was it like?" Marcie asked with intrigue. "Living during the hype surrounding all of this?"
"Well," Makoto fidgeted nervously. "Classmates were certainly talking a lot about it. Heck, some merchandise was made like t-shirts, fake calling cards, pens, you name it."
"Must have been a heck of a time," Marcie murmured before clicking off the site.
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Makoto: Now THAT was a close one. Good thing…a certain someone…wasn't around because otherwise…
Makoto shuddered as she had flashbacks of all the times Ryuji would blurt out the group's secret identity.
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Zoro rummaged through the fridge as Waluigi walked by, "Hey, greenie! Move it, Waluigi needs-a-something!"
"Where the hell is the booze?" Zoro asked out of frustration.
"They don't keep-a-booze here, stupid!" Waluigi answered rudely. "Now move so Waluigi can get his garlic bombs out!"
"For the love of…" Zoro stormed out before confronting SpongeBob in the cafeteria. "Sponge kid, any damn reason this shitty show doesn't have any of the good stuff?"
"Sorry, Mister…Zoro was it?" SpongeBob said after putting a mop in one of the holes in his head. "Wario doesn't wanna get arrested for potentially giving alcohol to kids."
"Tch, talk about some bullshi-" Zoro muttered under his breath as he sat down at a random table.
As soon as Zoro took his seat, Doflamingo sat right down at the seat across from him.
"Well, well," Doffy grinned. "Looks as if you're stuck here, Roronoa. Oh, all the opportunities I have for vengeance."
"Could ya not plot your vengeance right where I'm trying to sleep?" Roronoa rebutted.
"Bold words," Doflamingo clenched his teeth. "After I nearly killed half of your pathetic crew with my bird cage."
"Heh, I've taken on Kaido, pinky," Zoro bragged. "I'd like to see you try taking me on."
Doflamingo scoffed, "You've gotten cockier since our last meeting."
Doflamingo left, as Usopp raced towards Zoro.
"WHAT ARE YOU DOING!?" Usopp jabbed his finger at the swordsman multiple times. "I. TOLD. YOU. NOT. TO. PROVOKE. DO. FLA. MINGO!"
"WILL YA KNOCK IT OFF!?" The pirate hunter yelled back.
"THAT MANIAC HAS BEEN TERRORISING ME THIS WHOLE TIME FOR GOD'S SAKE!" Usopp sobbed.
"Tch, be glad you're not stuck with a fleet admiral," Zoro spat out.
"Fleet admiral!?" Usopp asked. "Must be more alternate universe shenanigans. This is making my head hurt!"
"Private…" Chills went down Usopp's spine as Olivier sat down at the table, "Mind telling me who this intruder is?"
"Uh…he's my crewmate, Armstrong," Usopp sweated in fear. "Or a parallel universe…version…of my crewmate."
"Why does this general lady sound like Robin?" Zoro asked Usopp.
"I KNEW SHE SOUNDED FAMILIAR!" Usopp thought.
As the Wario Cruiser approached the next destination, fog settled in as the skies blackened.
"What's going on?" Mona asked as she looked out on deck.
"This is much more my style," Ashley gave a rare smile.
"Wahahahaha!" Wario laughed, "This is where the next-a-challenge will be, at none other than-a-Boo Cinema!
Boo Cinema looked much more like a haunted house than an actual movie theater, with the building being broad and dark, with mostly woodwork having been done on it and yellow windows that glowed in the dark.
"So, what are we gonna do about that stowaway?" Mona asked Wario. "We can't just leave him here."
"Oh no, we can't!" Wario said dramatically before adding. "That chump still has to pay off my-a-statue!"
"I meant more so as a moral thing," Mona commented. "But that works too."
"Call those contestants up here, it's-a-challenge time!"
"You mean to tell me, there's another show just like this one, in another universe?" Olivier asked in a skeptical tone.
Those past few moments, Olivier felt very on guard with Zoro having just shown up on the ship. She herself wasn't present when that portal opened, but Armstrong wanted answers as to where he came from. Especially since all anyone on the ship knew was that Usopp knows him. It didn't help that the pirate hunter was very much not a sociable person, so getting him to talk about anything was like pulling teeth out.
"Pretty good summary," Zoro said casually, "Just needs the details about that interdi-whatchacallit cannon and perv-cook getting hit in the balls."
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Usopp: And even in another universe, Sanji & Zoro just can't get along. Somethings never change.
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Judy had been listening in herself and she said, "Well, this is definitely interesting."
"You're telling me," Zoro replied as he remembered one challenge that Judy had told him about. "How the hell did you all find yourselves stuck in some turtle's base?"
"Yeah, that was a nightmare to get out of," Judy groaned. "I still can't forgive Wario for that bank robbery challenge."
"Our host is a very ignorant sort of person," Olivier answered. "Thankfully, he hasn't put us through anything as bad as that squid challenge you spoke of…yet."
"That birthday challenge could come close." Judy said.
"And it sure wasn't fun dealing with Crocodile again," Usopp sighed.
"And that's not even mentioning the 'reward' Nami got," Zoro recapped.
"Nami's…your Nami's competing too!?" Usopp was taken aback. "If only my Nami felt like competing for the money herself."
Zoro then said, "Got some shitty picture of a monkey, the host called it an NFT."
Usopp held back laughter until he just finally burst out laughing at the poor navigator's expense. Judy facepalmed as soon as she heard the letters 'NFT'.
"Not NFTs," Judy sighed.
Wario then announced, "ATTENTION, CHALLENGERS, IT IS TIME FOR THE NEXT-A-CHALLENGE!"
"Looks like it's time for the next challenge," Judy said. "See you around, Zoro, if that portal hasn't opened by then."
Usopp sighed as Olivier and Judy left, and Zoro cleared his throat in response.
"Alright, I can tell something's up," Zoro bluntly told the sniper. "What is it?"
"Huh?" Usopp whipped his head at Zoro. "Oh…it's nothing."
"Yeah right," Zoro denied. "You've been all mopey the entire time I've been here. What the hell's wrong?"
Usopp sighed, "Fine, a few days ago, Judy & I were talking about who to vote off next, and Walter came up to us. Y'know, the bald guy? Him."
Zoro closed his eyes as he listened, he didn't know much about these people, but for some reason, that bald guy would keep giving him a bad feeling. Something seemed up with Walter White, but Roronoa couldn't place his finger on what it was.
"And he wanted to vote off a friend of mine," Usopp told his crewmate. "I didn't wanna do it…but I didn't think I had any choice. I really am a terrible friend, aren't I?"
Zoro slammed a sword on the ground as he then told Usopp, "Usopp, you have to stick to your guns. You can't wallow in your own self-pity forever."
"But…"
"No buts, in a game like this, you'll have to make tough choices. I'll admit, it was pretty dumb of you to fall for baldie's smooth-talk…"
"Gee, thanks a lot."
"...but would your friend want you to constantly be feeling sorry for yourself? To always be moping around? I sure as hell wouldn't!"
Usopp held a finger between his chin and lip as he thought about what Marceline would really think. He then clenched a fist as a determined look appeared on his face.
"Thanks, Zoro, you really were a big help." Usopp said gratefully.
"No problem, just bring me some damn booze as a thanks."
Usopp rushed onto the deck as Wario tapped his foot impatiently.
"Well, well," Wario mocked. "What were you doing, Pinocchio? Do you realize how late you are?"
"Yeah, yeah," Usopp responded. "A great captain like me has business to attend to sometimes."
"Were you crying in the bathroom at the sight of this haunted-a-cinema?" Waluigi snickered.
"Haunted wha-" Usopp looked and saw Boo Cinema in all it's glory.
Usopp let out a squeaking noise as his eyes widened with his tongue sticking out.
"What's the matter, scaaaaaared?" Waluigi made a mocking face to the sniper.
Usopp was too scared to even make a rebuttal.
"This will give you so many spooks," Wario told the cast. "That none of you will be able to-a-sleep tonight!"
"I had a damn good sleep last night," Walter reminisced to Wario. "Dreamt that I was strangling you."
"Oh, thanks a lot." Wario rolled his eyes.
"How humorous," Olivier smiled. "I had that same dream."
Wario clenched his fist as he ignored that.
"Don't worry, young Usopp," Qwark said patronizingly, "For I will protect you. You have my word that my heroicness shall bring those ghosts to their knees."
"Now that's enough dilly-dallying, here's the host for this-a-challenge." Wario announced.
"You're…not hosting?" Penny asked.
"No, because I have to make sure that greenie pays me back for my-a-statue."
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Ted: So what, that statue was fugly anyways. Talk about a real eyesore.
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
The host for the challenge appeared out of thin air, and it was a boo. More specifically, a green boo with red bows and eye makeup.
"Gwaah ha ha ha!" The boo laughed as she then said, "Greetings my lovely challengers, for my name is Lady Bow. And this is my butler, Bootler."
Another boo appeared, this one having a white mustache with white hair. "Thank you, m'lady."
"Bootler?" Waluigi laughed. "As in-a-butler but with boo?"
"Can we go two seconds without making fun of someone?" Makoto said in annoyance.
"Meh, I've heard weirder names," Trucy commented. "My daddy used to always run into some old lady named Oldbag."
"SILENCE!" Bow screamed which got everyone silent. "Good, now let us go inside Boo Cinema."
"Sheesh, talk about scary," Qwark shuddered.
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Hot Dog Water: You know, that movie theater wouldn't look out of place at Crystal Cove, aside from the ghosts being real.
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
The inside of Boo Cinema looked very regal, with a royal red carpet on the floor, stone walls, a chandelier hanging from the ceiling, and a ticket stand with two Boos at being the counter.
"Huh, this place is much more fancy than I would've thought." Trucy analyzed the area. "This would be a perfect spot to host a magic show in!"
"Seriously!?" Usopp blurted out. "In a creepy place like this!?"
"Why not?" Trucy asked. "I'm sure the paranormal would appreciate some magic."
"Mwhehehehehe," A random Boo cackled. "A magic show? Sounds fun…a lot of mischief could be pulled. Hehehehehehehe!"
"Oh mama," Ted gasped as he saw something right in the back of the counter. "Is that…beer!? C'mon, I need some of the good stuff!"
Usopp sighed as he remembered what Zoro demanded, "Could I get some too?"
"Uh-huh!" Ted gave Usopp a playful punch. "You a drinker too, Pinocchio. You & I need to get drunk together one o' these days."
"Uh, maybe later," Usopp scratched the back of his head.
"Don't worry, my lovely contestants," Bow told Ted & Usopp. "The drinks are on me. You may get as many as you'd like."
"M'lady, are you sure!?" Bootler interjected. "These are practically strangers we're talking about."
"Come on, Bootler, spending this much cash is nothing to us." Bow smiled. "I feel like our contestants deserve to have a bit of down time."
"Aw thanks weirdo ghost lady!" Ted ran over to the ticket booth.
"I gotta see if they serve any sandwiches here!" Reuben gunned for the booth as well.
"Aren't we gonna get to the frickin' challenge already!?" Taco said impatiently as she stormed into a random room.
That would be a big mistake for Taco though, because that room was the kitchen, and that day was…Taco Tuesday. A ton of Boos in that room were eating tacos as Taco could only look in horror once again.
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Taco: Are you kidding me!? Are you kidding me!? WHY IS IT THAT EVERY FRICKIN WORLD WE GO TO HAS PEOPLE EATING M-ME!? DOES THE WORLD JUST HATE ME!?
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
The Boos stopped eating as they all directed their attention towards the one who had just entered. Taco was speechless as she tried to think of something to say.
"Fffffffffffffffffuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuudge," Taco squeaked.
The Boos all started chomping and lunged towards Taco. The latter quickly jumped out of the way and ran as fast as her legs could carry her.
"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!"
The kitchen of the Wario Cruiser was flooded. Wario had assigned Zoro to clean dishes, but that went wrong right when Zoro had clogged the drain with a piece of Wario's garlic by accident.
"WAH! HOW COULD YOU-A-NOT DO THIS ONE-A-SIMPLE TAAAAAASK!" Wario yelled.
"WE WOULDN'T BE IN THIS MESS IF IT WASN'T FOR YOUR DAMN GARLIC!" Zoro yelled back.
Meanwhile, Jimmy, Mona, Dribble, & Spitz were having a conversation.
"Since we're all gonna die here," Dribble began. "There's something I's need to confess, I did not care for Super Mario 64."
"What!?" Mona said, shocked.
"Did not care for it," Dribble repeated.
"How can ya say that!?" Jimmy was dumbfounded.
"It's like, the perfect video game!" Spitz saw red.
"That's what everyone says," Dribble rolled his eyes. "Whatever they say…"
"Bob-omb Battlefield, Dire Dire Docks, TICK TOK CLOCK!" Spitz screamed.
"Fine places, just didn't like the game."
"Why not?" Jimmy asked.
"It insists upon itself," Dribble told Jimmy.
"What?" Mona raised an eyebrow. "What does that even mean?"
"OH SO JUST BECAUSE IT HAS A VALID POINT TO MAKE MEANS IT'S INSISTENT!" Spitz shouted.
"It takes forever getting in," Dribble explained. "You spend who knows how long dealing with those old controls and that camera, I've never even beaten the darn game."
"YOU HAVEN'T FINISHED THE GAME!" Spitz was outraged.
"How can you say you don't like the game if you haven't given it a fair chance?" Mona asked.
"I have to agree with Mona here," Jimmy added. "That's not cool, yo."
"I have tried on three separate occasions," Dribble gritted his teeth in frustration. "I get to that level with the Whomps…"
"Yeah that's a great level!" Mona interrupted. "I love that part!"
"Y'know what, Dribble," Spitz said spitefully. "It's a classic game with subtlety in it's controls and platforming. Something a big lug like you would never understand."
"I love Mario 3d World, that is my answer to that statement."
"Figures," Spitz rolled his eyes.
"I like that game too," Mona admitted.
The water then all rapidly went down a drain that popped out of nowhere as Ashley stood at the doorway.
"That was a good save, Ash!" Jimmy complimented the witch.
"Idiots," Ashley grumbled as she made a piece of garlic float with her magic.
Back at Boo Cinema, the Boos that were chasing Taco got a real scolding from Bow.
"...And you will promise to not eat anymore of my guests!" Bow told the group.
"Yes, Lady Bow." The Boos all simultaneously said.
As the Boos all vanished, Bow told Taco, "I am very sorry for the trouble these Boos have caused you."
"Oh, don't worry about it," Taco smiled while clenching her hands together. "That's honestly the first time someone's actually apologized for trying to eat me so far."
"Oh, sounds as if you've had quite the bad experience," Bow frowned.
"Yeah, my time here has sucked."
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Makoto: A host that actually cares about how we feel? That's definitely new.
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Bow then called the cast over, "It's time for my challenge to commence, everyone!"
The contestants all gathered together as Bow brought them to the showing room.
"The challenge I shall give to you all is for each team to reenact a scene from a famous movie," Bow instructed. "I look forward to what creations all of you will make."
A blue humanoid ghost dressed in black then materialized after Bow finished, "Now THIS is right up my alley! I, Morty, director of the finest films, shall help you all in this challenge!"
"Bootler, Morty, & I will be the judges of each scene each of you produce," Bow explained. "After our director assigns the scenes, the challenge will officially start."
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Penny: This is so much pressure, but I'm confident that my team will do just fine up there!
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Back at the Cruiser, Mona, Dribble, Spitz, Jimmy, Ashley, & Zoro were all watching the tv in the lobby. However, Wario didn't like what was on tv to say the least…
"SSSSSSUUUUUUUPPPPPEEEEEEERRRRRRRRR!" The buff cyborg exclaimed.
"Oh hohohoho! You look mighty interesting," Eggman said in intrigue. "May I ask where it is you get this technology, good sir?"
"You ain't gonna find it just anywhere, ya know," The cyborg answered. "It's all specially made by Dr. Vegapunk. The name's Franky, and I plan on winnin' that cash, yo!"
Zoro would have done a spit take had he been drinking then, "WHAT!? WHAT THE HELL IS FRANKY DOING ON THAT SHOW!?"
"Eh, you know that guy?" Dribble asked.
"He's another crewmate," Zoro answered as he looked intently at the tv.
While everyone was distracted, Wario tiptoed to the deck of the cruiser, and jumped onto the deck.
"Wahahahahah," Wario rubbed his hands together. "Now to get to my plans…"
The garlic-muncher pulled a map of Boo Cinema out and moved his finger across it. He smiled a wicked smile as he put the map back into his pocket.
"Sweet-a-cash, here I come!" Wario's eyes turned to dollar signs as he snuck his way to the cinema.
Little did Wario know, there was a mysterious person in a trench coat, watching. This trench coat went to the cinema for reasons unknown.
Team Flower was talking amongst themselves. Morty had assigned them to do a scene from "The Toadfather," and they were pretty argumentative to say the least.
"None of you could ever perform a scene like this," Doflamingo laughed.
"How about you actually help instead of laughing at us," Makoto replied sternly.
"But it's all too much fun laughing at all of your expenses." Doflamingo argued, "Little miss robot girl."
"Robot girl?" Makoto gave the ex-warlord a sharp look. "I'll tell you I very much have a sense of humor in me."
"Ya sure about that girlie?" Reuben added his two cents. "You've just been all expressionless this whole time and everything."
"Knock knock," Makoto simply said.
"Uh, whose there?" Reuben went along with this.
"Interrupting cow."
"Interrupting co-"
"MOO!"
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Paul: No, just no, that was awful.
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
"Guys, we're getting off topic!" Taco told everyone. "Who's even gonna be the Toadfather in this scene?"
"I can help with that!" Morty dropped in.
"AAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHH!" Trucy shouted before pouting. "Don't scare me like that!"
"He's a ghost, houdini," Reuben sassed. "That's his job."
"And YOU, good sir," Morty pointed at Reuben. "YOU are PERFECT for the role of Toadfather!"
"What!?"
"What!?"
"WHAT!?" Reuben exclaimed.
"Yes! It all makes sense!" Morty circled around the experiment, "The dry humor, the accent, the laziness! It all makes sense!"
"Hold on," Reuben's intrusive thoughts then came out with, "You wouldn't want a freak of nature like me being in your movie, right?"
Morty ignored that as he then pointed at Makoto, "And YOU young lady, would be perfect as the Toadfather's daughter!"
"Wait, wait, wait," Makoto pushed back. "I am not an actress by any stretch of imagina-"
"NONSENSE! You could give plenty a great performance!" Morty interrupted.
"Ooo, ooo, what about me!" Trucy raised her hand frantically.
"Hmmmmm," Morty scratched his head. "I see wonderful potential in you, miss, but I don't feel as if you fit any role here."
"Aw man," Trucy sighed in disappointment. "Well, good luck, 'Koto."
"Uh, thanks, Trucy." Makoto nervously chuckled.
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Doflamingo: Oh my, we're going to lose big time with that girl's acting, and the freak being the main role too? This is all an utter trainwreck waiting to happen.
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Team Mushroom was talking about the scene they got given, which was the ending of "Old Screamer," and Judy had left to go to the bathroom, while Walter wanted to get some snacks for the trip to the next destination. The two entered the theater again and walked in on Qwark sobbing.
"IT IS JUST SO SAAAAAAAAD!" Qwark sobbed.
"Qwark?" Olivier tried to say gently. "Qwark? QWARK!"
"AAAAAHHH!" Qwark yelped.
"Will you silence yourself?" Olivier glared at the captain. "I can hardly hear myself think right now."
"Seems like a lot of pressure to do such a depressing scene," Judy commented. "Especially with a director as the judge."
"Eh, don't worry about it!" Ted chugged some more booze. "I can handle it all with one hand tied behind my back while blindfolded."
"That's not a good idea…" Marcie warned. "And are you drunk!?"
"Wwwwwwhhhhhaaaaaaaaatttttttt?" Ted asked, "*burp* noooooooooo."
"If you're gonna do this, bear," Walter smiled a scheming smile. "You should gun for the dog."
"I, Captain Usopp, volunteer as an actor!" Usopp put his fist against his chest. "For it's my duty to make sacrifices here."
"We're gonna lose for sure if YOU act!" Waluigi responded. "Now if anyone should act…IT'S-A-ME!"
"YOU COULDN'T ACT IF YOUR LIFE DEPENDED ON IT!" Usopp yelled at the purple tennis player.
"AND WHAT WOULD YOU KNOW, HUH, MISTER NOSEY!" Waluigi yelled back.
The duo went into another fight cloud as they went at it.
Judy sighed, "And there they go again."
"There you go," Walter stepped forward, "And that's why Ted & I will take care of everything. You can all sit back and relax cuz your old man's got it covered."
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Hot Dog Water: What is White plotting? This isn't like him to just let a drunk person…bear…whatever act. Especially when that's going to make Ted a target for sure.
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Olivier gave Walter a glare, "I'm not too sure I approve of the way you're taking charge of everything, White. We're supposed to be a team after all."
"Look, I know what I'm doing," Walter told the sergeant. "I'll be the father, since I'm not being the mother, Ted's the dog, and…I don't know, Qwark can be the kid!"
Qwark put on a wig, "Or I can be the mother and you the kid!"
"...we're so going to lose," Marcie groaned.
"Hehehehe," A random Boo wearing a bowtie and a round suit showed Team Flower to a dressing room. "This is where all of you will dress up for your roles. Make sure to think of the scariest outfits you can, hehehe!"
The Boo vanished as the group looked around. The dressing room was pretty small, but it had royal red carpeting for flooring, a pinkish wall, very cushiony chairs that were red with golden accents. Trucy immediately gunned for one of the chairs and sat down.
"Wow, this is so comfy!" The magician proclaimed. "Penny, you have to try this!"
"Well, alright," Penny replied as she also sat down. "You're right, Truce! I could get used to this!"
"Enough goofing around, already." Paul rolled his eyes.
"C'mon, Paul, don't you ever smile once in your life?" Trucy huffed.
"Clearly less than I need to," Paul said under his breath.
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Trucy: Someday, I'll have to find out what can make Paul smile…maybe just cuz I think it'd be funny…maybe. Hehehehe
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Penny: I see the tricky nature of the Boos is rubbing off on Trucy, and I'm not against it.
Penny adjusted her glasses as a white shine gleamed off of them.
Penny: After this is all done, she and I could pull a good prank on Wario.
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Makoto went through the outfits as Reuben looked in one of the mirrors to a concerning degree.
"Reuben, reminder that you have the main role here." Makoto said in annoyance. "I think you should be looking for some outfits yourself."
"Oh…right…" Reuben gave a somber look at himself once more as he slowly made his way to Makoto.
"How pathetic!" Doflamingo butted in. "Is it because of how I called you out as the freak of nature you are? Don't blame me for being right, lab rat."
Reuben clenched his teeth as Makoto stepped up. "How about you kindly shove it, asshole!"
Doflamingo laughed, "I'll comply just this once, little girl."
Makoto gave Doffy the classic Niijima glare as the latter left.
"Nah, he's right," Reuben deflated.
"Reuben, what are you talking about!?" Makoto felt baffled.
"I'll tell ya, I'm an illegally made experiment gone wrong!" Reuben let out. "I'm even a freak amongst all the other experiments, I can talk and all the rest of them can't! The closest thing is my cousin that came after me, and he can barely even speak full sentences! Not to mention…"
"Reuben, calm down," Makoto patted the experiment's head. "You're sounding like a certain not-cat right now."
"A what-what?"
"A friend of mine," Makoto explained. "Morgana, he had a pretty similar crisis you're having right now. He tried to convince himself he was human for so long, and would keep having nightmares every so often."
"What's this gotta do with me?" Reuben narrowed his eyes.
"What I'm saying, Reuben," Makoto answered. "Is that everyone has their own brand of normalcy. Yes, you may have been created as an experiment, but you are surrounded by people all across the multiverse with equally weird backgrounds."
"Huh, that's kinda like what Walter said."
"I brought up Morgana as a way to tell you that you're not alone in those types of feelings, and there's most likely more people out there in this wide universe that were made through experimentation or other means. I hope I helped here."
Reuben thought about it until, "...what do ya know…the stress has gone away."
Makoto smiled as she looked through more of the costuming. Reuben looked around and saw a book peeking out from under a suit of some kind. He brushed the suit aside and the cover said 'The Ugly Duckling'.
"Ah no," Reuben dropped the book. "This is that book that little girl talked about once. I ain't falling for those tricks like my younger cousin did!"
Reuben left and the book laid there for a while. It took a minute, until the aforementioned quickly snatched it up and stored it into hammerspace.
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Makoto: I don't expect that my talk fully healed those intrusive thoughts, but I didn't want to just stand by while a teammate was having an existential crisis.
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Team Mushroom was up first to act out their scenes, and Ted was dressed in overalls while Walter was in a dog costume.
"How the fuck did I end up in this shit!?" Walter muttered.
Wario exited Boo Cinema while carrying giant bags of money. He laughed to himself, satisfied.
"Stop, criminal!" A voice called out.
"Yeah, otherwise we'll really make you cry! Hahahahaha!"
Wario whipped his head backwards and saw a weird ass dog and rabbit duo, who both seemed to be in the middle of investigating something.
"You crack me up, little buddy." The dog said while oddly not laughing at all.
"WAH!? WHO ARE YOU BOZOS!?" Wario exclaimed.
"We're Sam & Max, freelancers." Sam explained. "We heard some news about a scammer around these parts and by tootin' there's no crime worse than scammin' people with the promises of free money."
"The only thing worse is if we were promised to get the tears of all the people involved in a reality show sold to us only for us to get regular tears! That's just so heartbreaking to think about." Max rambled.
Wario just stared at the duo until he laughed. "A scammer!? Well, I haven't heard of any scammers lately! I would hope they wouldn't show up to steal all the money I've made. Wahahahahaahahaha!"
"Of course, good sir," Sam replied. "All that money you've got there is about as much as Tickle-Me-Elmo dolls made in '86…or was it '96? Anyhow, you've seen a stolen cruiser around by chance?"
"Oh nooooooooo," Wario said dramatically. "A stolen cruuuuuuiser? That's-a-terrible! I hope you find it sooooooon!"
"Yeah! I hope so too!" Max fantasized. "Me & Sam, alone, on a romantic cruise across the sunset! Just like all the fanfictions!"
"A platonic romantic cruise that is," Sam added.
"Yeah, totally platonic! See ya around, fatso!"
"THIS ISN'T-A-FAT! THIS IS ALL A MUSCLE!" Wario yelled before he thought. "Great, the cops are after me…I'm lucky those two were big stupidos."
"Oh, Screamer!" Ted yelled dramatically. "Ohhhhhhh, Old Screamer, ohhhhhhh, you're so sick! *hiccup* So very sick!"
"Bark bark woof," Walter tried to look away from the audience.
Qwark then appeared in drag again, "Oh sweet Waggleboy. It's best that we put Old Screamer out of his misery."
"NO BARK, NO BARK, NO!" Walter shouted.
"But ma, how am I going to live without Old Scrrrrrrreamer!" Ted whined.
"YEAH BARK! YES BARK!"
"Because I got you this new adorable puppy!" Qwark pulled a random puppy out of nowhere and gave it to Ted.
"A cute puppy! I'll call ya Fluffy!" Ted then said, "Bye bye, Old Screamer," before blowing Walter up with a Bob-omb.
The explosion sent Walter flying right out of the movie theater screen and into the wall.
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Walter: This show has humiliated me FOR THE LAST TIME!
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
As the curtains drew, Olivier growled, Judy facepalmed, Marcie just looked disapprovingly at the screen, and Usopp slammed his head on a nearby chair.
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Judy: Why did we all listen to Walter? Look, I know everyone thought it would be funny to see him get humiliated, but that was a terrible performance!
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Our judges…thought differently to our contestants.
"My! This was a great comedy act!" Bow smiled, "I give it a 9/10!"
"What?" Usopp felt dumbfounded.
"This stands as a commentary about the youth and the elderly of today and how-" Bootler kept rambling until he gave it an 8.
"Eh, the bear could've done better as Waggleboy, but a 7 will do." Morty shrugged.
"You're kidding me," Olivier said, shocked.
"Wah, who cares! We won anyways! Wahahahahaha!" Waluigi laughed.
"We haven't won yet, that is," Olivier told her teammate.
Team Flower stepped forward, Reuben, Makoto, & Penny were all dressed up for the scene as they went into the screen.
"Wow, that was weird." Makoto commented on how the trio literally went inside the movie.
"Well, should we get started," Penny felt fired up.
The curtains opened as Penny in a suit was confronted by Reuben.
"Oh, Corleone," Reuben said, not even making an accent. "You have returned to what avail? You insulted me greatly by giving me that…uh…what was it?...That poisonous mushroom bomb! It stunk up my grandmama's house, what must you say for yourself."
Makoto then added, "You have a lot of nerve…uh…interrupting my wedding!"
Penny really got into the sprit. "Please, Mister Toadfather sir! I can make it up to you! I didn't mean to-"
"Silence! You disrespected my grandmama, now you will pay the ultimate price of…" Reuben pulled out a sandwich, "Eating this bologna sandwich gone bad."
Makoto raised an eyebrow as she said, "...oh no. Not that."
"EEEEEEEEEEEEEKKKKKKKK!" Penny clenched her chest in an overly dramatic way before fainting. "Bleh, death."
The curtains drew once again and the judges all thought about the scene.
"Why does that whole scenario feel so familiar?" Judy asked herself.
"Was a little dry, but overall, a great 8/10!" Morty gave a thumbs up.
"I agree with Morty," Bow nodded. "Was a good performance, but the line delivery could have been better, 7/10."
"I say, this is a very profound script that-" Bootler rambled on and on while the contestants eventually fell asleep. "But I give it a 7/10."
"And that concludes our challenge!" Bow announced as the three performers exited the screen.
"Aw man," Penny sighed. "This probably means we lost, again."
"Yeah," Makoto shut her eyes for a second. "But your performance was great, Penny."
"Thanks, Makoto," Penny smiled.
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Penny: Wario's not gonna be happy about this…
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Walter had done the math, and was fidgeting in rage.
"GOD FUCKING DAMMIT!" Walter kicked a chair.
"WALTIE! What's wrong with ya!" Ted seemingly asked in concern before saying, "My booze was on that chair!"
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Walter: My one fucking chance to get the bear out, and those dumbass judges found that Old Yeller, screamer, whatever shit FUNNY!
Walter then took a breath.
Walter: Oh well, I'll get him out next challenge.
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Doflamingo: Tch, there goes my plans to get rid of Walter once and for all. There's always next time however, heheheheheheh.
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
The contestants got ready to leave, but then Trucy called out, "Don't leave yet, guys, Qwark & I are gonna do a magic show pretty soon with Lady Bow's permission, of course."
"Why yes," Bow laughed. "You have my blessing, ma'am."
"How ridiculous," Doflamingo grumbled. "Halting everything just for a magic show."
"What are we, five?" Walter complained.
"You're just uncultured, Waltie." Ted told the meth lord off. "A magic show sounds sick as hell!"
"I suppose it'll be a fine way to pass the time." Olivier added.
"Of course, it will be," Qwark told Armstrong. "For I'm involved, and that excels any magic show."
Olivier scoffed. "One of these days, Qwark, you will get humbled, hard."
"I wouldn't be too sure about that Ro-I mean A-Armstrong!" Usopp sweat a little there.
Judy & Makoto talked amongst each other.
"Futaba was able to get footage of something that happened a few days ago," Makoto showed Judy her phone.
There was a video of Kat & Ana being knocked out by a baseball bat as none other than Hot Dog Water & Ted entered the room.
'Wait, wait, wait," Judy interjected. "Is that Ted!? And Hot Dog Water!?"
"Yes, it is," Makoto glowered at the video. "I'm gonna have to have a few words with Marcie about this."
Trucy then walked over to the duo, "Whatcha guys up to?"
"Oh, Trucy," Judy laughed awkwardly. "Just some investigation stuff, not anything for a kid to get tangled up in, you know!"
"Oh c'mon, I am part of a law agency!" Trucy rolled her fists up, "What's this investigation you got here?"
Judy looked over to Makoto, who said, "Well, guess it wouldn't hurt to get more allies."
Makoto gave Trucy a serious look as she said, "Trucy, have you noticed anything strange about this game?"
"Hm, strange?" Trucy crossed her arms. "Well, Wario does seem like a sketchy guy…"
"That sure is an accurate description," Makoto replied. "Judy & I are suspecting that Wario may be rigging this game somehow for a money making scheme."
"Yeah, that makes sense," Trucy shrugged.
"Huh, you're taking this in pretty well," Judy said, surprised.
"Hey, I've solved murders before," Trucy slightly bragged. "With other people before of course, but still."
The trio felt a presence nearby them. They all turned around and saw that same trench-coated figure from before. Judy's ears drooped down, Makoto got a battle stance ready, and Trucy just tapped her finger against her chin.
"Uh, hello?" Trucy said awkwardly.
The figure threw the coat off, revealing a man wearing an investigator's coat with a brown suit underneath, "HOW!? HOW DID YOU UNMASK ME AS A MEMBER OF INTERPOL!?"
"Uh…we didn't," Makoto kept her stance. "You were spying on us!"
"Nonsense! You three all saw right away I was someone unique, someone extraordinary!" The officer replied, "Allow me to introduce myself by my code name, 'Looker'. Someone by the name of Princess Daisy sent me and two fellow comrades to investigate the theft of her cruiser!"
"Funny," Trucy surmised. "Wario has a cruiser too."
Makoto stood normally again, but still kept her guard up. "And what is it that you want with us?"
"I see that you girls are all a bright bunch!" Looker explained. "You were able to unmask me, and I heard about your plans to expose that Total Drama Gold show for the sham that it is!"
"You're gonna help us?" Judy raised an eyebrow. "Look, I'm an officer too, but how can we be sure to trust you?"
"I swear to you, me and my two fellow officers will find all the evidence we can!" Looker promised. "However, what's gotten in our way is a murder happening at Ghostly Caverns."
"A murder!?" Makoto gasped.
"Ooooooh-kay, how has this not been brought up!?" Judy asked.
Looker explained, "The caverns are pretty far from here, and I didn't want to drive mass panic. This was a young man by the name of 'Kenny McCormick', but this is massively getting off topic."
"I dunno, what would you bring to the table?" Trucy said to Looker.
"Please, we have the same goals here, I shall look into the case of the stolen cruiser as I have gathered some damning evidence towards Gold being a sham!" Looker pulled out a file that had the contract that specifically Penny Crygor had signed.
Judy took it and read it, "Interesting, I think a certain inventor might have to be questioned here."
"Keep this walkie talkie on ya, we shall meet again!" Looker then vanished.
"Huh, what a weird guy," Trucy commented.
"That's an understatement and a half," Judy added.
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Trucy: I dunno, having some outside help here could be a big help in all this. Surely this is more optimal than Makoto & Judy doing this all by themselves.
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Penny had gone to take a breather at the dock, but Wario showed up.
"Penny, Penny, Penny," Wario tutted his finger.
Penny felt cold as she looked at Wario. "W-Wario, I didn't see you there. Nice weather…"
"Don't play dumb with-a-me," Wario interrogated the granddaughter of Crygor. "Tell me, where did Waluigi get that power star from that time Syrup attacked us?"
"Oh, did he get that?" Penny tried to be relaxed.. "Sorry, I must've dropped it…"
Wario glared at her before saying, "Fine, just don't slip up like that again!"
"You're not mad my team lost again?"
"Oh, I'm not mad at-a-all," Wario grinned. "In fact, I have an idea."
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Penny: Idea? What's Wario thinking!?
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
A full audience consisting of Boos, the contestants, the interns, Wario, & Zoro all watched as Trucy got on stage.
Waluigi kicked Usopp in the leg randomly, as Usopp yelled. "HEY! I KNOW THAT WAS YOU!"
"Ohhhhhh, was it," Waluigi mocked. "I'm a soooooo," Waluigi pulled the sniper's hat down and covered the latter's eyes. "Soooorrrrryyyyyy!"
Usopp pulled his hat back up, "Why you! I oughta take that mustache right off!"
"What the!?" Zoro glared at the two big noses, "Are you two stealing me and the shit-cook's thing!?"
"W-w-WHAT!?" Usopp exclaimed. "Zoro, what are you even talking about!? For the record this is nothing like you and Sanji constantly fighting cuz-"
Usopp had a sword pulled on him as Zoro said, "Next time you two steal our thing, we're both gonna kick your asses, got it."
"Wahahaha," Waluigi let out a nervous laugh. "Yes-a-sir."
"May I have all of your attention?" Trucy asked the whole audience. "For the debut of Trucy Wright's Ring of Fire & Death, starring CAPTAIN QWARK!"
Qwark was inside a box with a face hole as the galactic hero had a genuinely terrified look on his face. His jaw was dropped and his eyes were wide as the box hung over a ring of fire with crocodiles leaping up and chomping at the box.
"HALT! CEASE! THIS IS NOT WHAT I HAD IN MIND, YOUNG LADY!" Qwark exclaimed. "TRUCY! TRUCY! TRRRRRUUUUUUUUUUUUUUCCCCCCCCCCYYYYYYYYYYY!"
The Boos all cackled hysterically at this along with multiple other contestants.
"I hope one of those crocs bites him in the dick!" Ted told Walter.
Walter groaned at that comment.
In another universe out there, a certain mammal (lombax) and robot duo were watching the whole thing play out on TV.
"Oh dear, Qwark's really going to regret signing up for that show now." The robot, Clank, commented.
The lombax, Ratchet, on the other hand was laughing his ass off, "For now, let's just enjoy the show, buddy."
Once Trucy's show had ended, the Boos all bid the cast farewell as most of the cast hopped aboard.
"Hey, Wario, was it?" Zoro had a whole box of booze on his back. "Got ya your stock for this shitty sober cruise."
"WAH! Wario's not dealing with all of those-a-drinks!" Wario clenched his head.
"Could also do with a damn training room," Zoro complained. "Could barely get any shut eye there, and another thing…"
Wario dug his hands further and further into his head. He was so sick of this grass head, that guy destroyed his statue, flooded his kitchen, and turned on that inferior spinoff too. At this point, the microgame developer didn't care anymore about getting the statue paid off, he just wanted Zoro gone. Suddenly, a random portal opened and Wario's eyes glimmered as he saw it.
"Hey, look, grassy!" Wario pointed. "A bald eagle with a mustache."
Zoro laughed as he turned around. "You'd have to be stupid to think I'll fall for tha-"
Wario shoulder bashed Zoro straight to the portal, but Usopp ended up walking past the portal at the last minute and…
"Zoro? What are you…AAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!" Zoro was shot right at Usopp's stomach and they both went into the portal.
Said portal closed as Wario looked at it awkwardly.
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Waluigi: Ohhhhhh, how did the-a-missile nose end up in front of that portal? I have no idea how that-a-happened…
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
"OH NO!" Mona gasped. "Wario! What are we gonna do!?"
Wario picked his nose. "Don't worry, I'll call up Dr. Crygor. He'll think of something to do about the long nose chump."
Not-Jiminy was getting an aneurysm, "Well, what's your biggest dream, Mingo?"
"My dream…" Doflamingo grinned sadistically. "Let me tell you a story, bug. Once upon a time, I ruled a kingdom known as Dressrosa, a whole kingdom of people for me to look after."
"Uh-huh," Not-Jiminy wrote all this down on a notepad.
"It was wonderful…and then those damn Straw Hats showed up. So my dream is to take back control of Dressrosa AND MAKE THE STRAW HATS, THE RIKU FAMILY, AND TRAFALGAR ALL BOW DOWN TO ME BEFORE I TAKE THEIR HEADS! HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAAAAA! Is that so much to ask?"
Not-Jiminy dropped his notepad as he yelled, "YES! YES IT IS!"
"...Agree to disagree," Doflamingo laughed at the cricket.
Team Flowers was at the elimination ceremony as they were all berated by Wario.
"YOU ALL LOST AGAIN!? AGAIN!? You all-a-stink at this! I should've called this-a-team, Team Losers!"
"Do you have anything better to do?" Paul bluntly asked. "It's not like anyone could be scared of you."
"Grrrrr, kids…" Wario stormed off.
"...well, here are the first who are safe." Mona broke the silence after Wario went off.
"Penny."
"Trucy."
"Paul."
"Makoto."
"Reuben."
The only two who remained were Taco & Doflamingo.
"Doflamingo, you haven't been the most popular person here to say the least." Mona told the former warlord of the sea. "As for you, Taco, I guess you're seen as more of a liability among your teammates?"
"What!? How can I be…" Taco's eyebrows raised.
Mona then said, "The last statue goes to…
…
…
…
…
…
…
…
…
…
…
…
…
…
…
…
…
…
…
…
…
…
…
…
…
…Doflamingo."
Taco felt like a bus had just hit her, "Wait, is this another fakeout like with Daffy."
"No, you're out, Taco." Mona told the object.
"HOW!? YOU GUYS CAN'T VOTE ME OUT!? WALTER'S GONNA TAKE OVER THE WHOLE FRICKIN GAME WITHOUT ME!"
"Yeah right," Paul rolled his eyes.
"Kindly, Taco, I'm sure we can handle things on our own," Makoto told Taco.
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Paul: This is the guy that kept that Teddiursa around for this long, as if he could take over this whole thing.
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
The trapdoor opened underneath Taco as she fell down it. "YOU'LL ALL REGREEEEET THIIIIIIIIISSSSS!"
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
[REDACTED]
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
[REDACTED]
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Doflamingo: That taco is the biggest liability here. Best to get rid of her very soon.
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Votes Altogether;
Taco: Makoto, Trucy, Penny, Doflamingo, Paul (?)
Doflamingo: Taco
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
"Weird," Trucy thought. "I don't exactly remember voting for Taco…"
"Funny, I don't either," Makoto said as well.
"You really rigged the votes against the taco?" The crystal raised its voice.
"Hey! She was-a-so unpopular, she was making me lose-a-ratings!" Wario pulled out a board that showed how popular each contestant was with the audience. "You have to play dirty to make some money, WAHAHAHAHAHAHA!"
"Unbelievable." If the crystal had eyes, it would've rolled them by now. "Won't this make your contestants even more suspicious of your show?"
"Oh who cares, not like they'll ever figure it out." Wario waved it off. "I would've let that-a-taco get mailed to Italy if the mailmen ever came for her."
Penny overheard all of this from outside Wario's office, and she froze as she listened to all of this.
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Penny: Oh no oh no oh no oh NO! It was rigged! The ceremony, all of it was RIGGED! Taco didn't deserve this!
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Taco washed up on the shore after being dropped overboard.
She had a bitter look on her face as she said, "Well who needs those guys anyways. They can jump into the water for all I care at this point…"
"Hey, Sam!" Max yelled out, "It's a taco!"
"Now now, little buddy," Sam told his friend. "You never know if those things will make your stomach explode and give ya diabetes."
"You worry too much Sam," Max said as he picked Taco up.
"HEY! PUT ME DOWN! PUT ME DOW-" Taco was then chowed down on by Max.
"Now that hit the spot," Max rubbed his stomach. "See Max, no diabetes here!"
"Will you two stop goofing off, and get more information about that Wario chap?" Looker scolded the freelancers.
The next day, Taco had respawned at the Loser's Hotel (somehow), and was curled up in a ball as Daffy & Marceline saw.
"I'MOKAYI'MOKAYI'MOKAYI'MOKAYI'MOKAYI'MOKAYI'MOKAYI'MOKAYI'MOKAYI'MOKAY," Taco told herself in a deranged manner.
"Looks like someone woke up on the wrong side of the bed," Daffy laughed to himself.
"Dude, that was not cool…" Marceline shook her head.
20th: Mokey Mouse (Mokey's Show) [Team Flower]
19th: Kirby (...) [Team Mushroom]
18th: Amy Rose (Sonic the Hedgehog) [Team Flower]
17th: Daffy Duck (Looney Tunes) [Team Flower]
16th: Marceline (Adventure Time) [Team Mushroom]
15th: Taco (BFDI) [Team Flower]
Notes:
And that's the end of the episode. Not too sure I like how the challenge really seemed to take a backseat here, but oh well. Taco's out and fun fact, she originally was gonna get much further, but I couldn't think of anything to do with her. Zoro's whole appearance here is basically a continuation of Gold's cameo in Total Drama: Trainwreck Express by 1602jaw, and I think it ended up working well for Usopp here (don't worry, he'll be back next episode). I tried to also write it in a way that you wouldn't have to read TE to understand what was going on (just generally explaining it as this Zoro's from an alternate timeline that also has a Total Drama) so I hope I succeeded in that. Special thanks to GoodGuyGary for the Boo Cinema idea and another special thanks to ChaosBlade327 for the idea of the general 'Judy teaming up with an outside ally' idea. Lady Bow from Paper Mario and Morty from Luigi's Mansion 3 are also some pretty deep cut guest stars, but I think they were neat ones to have. See you all next episode!
Chapter 10: Episode 9: Wabbit Season!

Chapter Text
Taco lied on a red cushioned psychiatrist chair as a man with a bushy mustache wearing a red sweater wrote on his clipboard. This office had wooded walls and a lamp lighting the area. Taco shook as the man, Dr. Jerry Attricks, finished writing whatever it was he was writing.
"So, tell me where it all began," Attricks told Taco.
"It all began when I saw the advertisement for this show," Taco shuddered. "T-Total Drama Gold. And…"
"WIll you stop with this stalling and get to the good part already!?" Attricks interrupted. "I'm not getting paid for this (bleep)!"
"Will you let me finish!?" Taco replied. "I thought 'Hey, I had a pretty crappy experience back on BFDI, how about I try my luck again.'"
"Man, I have crappy experiences all the time! When I got BFD-eez nuts! HA!" Attricks added while writing more stuff on his clipboard.
"And as soon as I entered the show, there was some pink blob that tried to FRICKIN' EAT ME! RIGHT OFF THE BAT!" Taco ranted.
"You're lucky!" Jerry said in envy. "I'd kill for someone to eat my (bleep)!"
"DUDE! WHY CAN'T YOU JUST BE A NORMAL THERAPIST!"
"Hey, playing Animal Crossing: Amiibo Festival on the Wii U REEEEAAAAAALLLLLLYYYYY screws with one's mental health alright."
Waluigi, Ted, & Reuben all played billiards in the game room. Waluigi focused really hard on which position to poke a ball at before jabbing the stick right at the ball. The ball went off the table, bounced off the wall, and hit Waluigi in the face.
"WAH!" Waluigi yelled out.
"What a nice strategy that was, bean pole." Reuben snarked.
"Grrr, shut it!" Waluigi threw the ball at Reuben, who dodged before the ball hit another wall and bounced right back at Waluigi. "WAH!"
"See, this is what happens when a loser like Walu-whathisface tries to gas himself up as some pro." Ted thought he sounded smart.
"Oh, I'd like to see you do better!" Waluigi wiped the ball off his face.
"By the way," Reuben said as Ted got into position. "Has Wario made any progress on finding out where the heck Pinocchio is?"
"Why should Waluigi care?" Waluigi scoffed. "Good riddance I'd say."
"Isn't that a little harsh?" Reuben replied. "Whether ya like him or not, he could be in some dangerous dimension getting eaten by who knows what."
Right on cue, as Ted made his move on billiards, Usopp fell right down on top on the billiards table. The portal that had just appeared on the ceiling of the game room closed as Usopp laid on the ground.
"No, Nami…..we didn't get a picture of an ape as a prize…" the sniper said with a halo of cuckoo birds circling him.
The sniper fainted as the birds all flew away, and Ted looked at the destroyed table with his mouth wide open.
"Pinocchio's bitchass better pay for a new table," Ted threw the stick and marched off.
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Waluigi: Oh great! He didn't get lost in some far away kingdom never to be seen again! And he ruined that billiards game Waluigi had in the bag!
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Hot Dog Water knocked on the door to Doflamingo's room, only to be greeted by an unexpected presence behind her.
"What are you doing?" Paul asked in an aggressive tone.
"Oh, is someone being a stalker right now?" Marcie asked sarcastically.
"You and I both know you're up to something." Paul glared at the girl. "You aren't betraying our alliance, are you?"
"Er, n-no." Hot Dog Water notably paused. "I just needed to talk to someone. That is all."
"You mean Doflamingo?"
Marcie's eyes went wide.
"Looks as if I'm on point." Paul smirked. "If I didn't know any better, I'd think you and him were teaming up."
"You're paranoid." Hot Dog Water's glasses shined. "You're accusing me of all this? Without any proof?
"You know, White's noticed that some files are missing."
Marcie went silent.
"Marcie, you know where they are, don't you?"
"What are you gonna do? Tell on me to Walter?" Hot Dog Water snarked while sweating bullets.
"Good idea," Paul replied before suddenly getting tied up by multiple strings.
"MMMPHHH MMMMPPPHH MMMMPPHHHH!" Paul screamed muffled screams.
"Oh no, we can't have THAT now," Doflamingo had come out of his room at that point. "Little brat, should've kept your nose out of me & sweet Marcie's business."
"LET HIM GO!" Marcie yelled on instinct.
"And let him squeal on us? I don't think so…I've got a little idea for how we can break White's little alliance once and for all."
Paul scowled at the duo.
"You'll talk to the bear…and stage it all like this…" Doflamingo untied Paul as the former told the Trainer this.
Paul smirked as he then said. "Go on, I'm listening."
"Paul!?" Marcie blurted out. "Why are you siding with him?"
"My plan is that you will both convince him to steal the belongings of his teammates." The ex-warlord monologued. "Perhaps he'll try to frame someone else. Who knows, as long as a dent is put into White's alliance with that bear's departure, I'll be glad with whatever method you use."
"Well, well," Paul scoffed. "Thought the day would never come."
"Are you in?" Doflamingo said menacingly to Paul.
"Hmph, fine." Paul let out. "But only this one time. After this, our deal is off."
"Paul..." Marcie muttered.
"EEEEEEEEEKKKKKKKKK!" Walter let out a high pitched scream.
Judy rushed over to Walter's room. "WHITE, ARE YOU OKAY!?"
"Where the fuck is it!?" Walter opened every drawer, ripped the bedsheets of his bed right off, and rummaged through the closet.
"Uh, where's what?" Judy asked uneasily.
"Will you get out, dirty pig cop?" Walter lashed out.
"I'm a rabbit, Walter, not a pig." Judy deadpanned. "It's not like I'm calling you humans apes."
"WAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHH!" Waluigi ran right up to Judy. "WALUIGI'S SPECIAL TENNIS RACKET! IT'S-A-GONE!"
"You too!?" Judy blurted out.
Qwark appeared next. "MY SCRAPBOOK OF MYSELF HAS GONE MISSING!"
Judy then said, "Okay, this is getting out of hand."
"How do I know you're not taking all our shit, piggie?" Walter accused Hopps.
"No need to make any assumptions, White." Judy rolled her eyes. "It could be you, you know, you're the drug dealer here after all."
"Typical cop," Walter muttered.
Walter walked off as Judy stood there, rubbing her chin. Qwark sobbed some more while Waluigi sighed and exited the room as well. The rabbit was clearly in deep thought, as she shut her eyes and pondered some more.
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Judy: It's still a good point! A drug dealer, the fact that he's so quick to blame me, the fact that he's the one with an alliance, I'm not gonna jump to conclusions or anything, but Walter's already a top suspect in my eyes.
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Ted rushed to his room with a backpack full of things. Paul & Marcie were both waiting for him as the bear dumped all of the stolen items on his bed.
"About time, you showed up." Paul grumbled.
"Now, this is the best idea you two have ever had!" Ted rummaged through all the items. "Now, god, which of these would be a better present for Johnny? This tennis racket? Could be a good tool for him to jerk off with."
"Gross," Marcie reeled back a little.
"Yeah, Johnny grosses everyone out," Ted went through the pile some more. "You don't wanna know what his search history is like. It's worse than all the Walsabelle shit that was on that computer combined."
"Walsabelle?" Paul raised an eyebrow.
"You...don't want to know..." Hot Dog Water replied.
"This shitty lookin' scrapbook?" Ted glared at the book. "Yeah, Johnny doesn't swing that way. That'll be a no."
Finally, Ted found what I could only describe as Walter's magnum opus. This was the best smelling, best looking, sexiest crystal meth EVER! The bag was blue and smoother than a dolphin. The powder looked to be as soft as flour, and Ted had a huge smile on his face.
"FUCK YEAH! I CAN SHARE THIS SHIT WITH JOHNNY ALL DAY!" Ted exclaimed.
"Oh...is he a druggie too," Hot Dog Water rolled her eyes.
"You bet, we smoke weed together everyday!" Ted stuffed the meth into a non-existent pocket.
"Ted," Paul gave the fakest smile as he held a book. "It's Qwark's diary!"
Hot Dog Water sighed as she played along. "Yeah...and there's tons of juicy gossip in here. Oh my, look at all of these terrible things he's saying about everyone."
"Eh," Ted shrugged. "I'll take that as a back-up plan. No way in Hell anybody's gonna vote someone out because of a diary. They would have to be dumbasses to fall for that."
In another universe, a certain Street Fighter character started coughing after Ted said that.
Wario opened the door to his room while scratching his behind. He jumped back as he saw Makoto & Trucy right inside.
"WAH!? WAH-T ARE YOU TWO DOING HERE!?" Wario exclaimed.
"Wario, you have some explaining to do," Makoto glared daggers at the host. "Taco's elimination was not normal. Trucy & I have talked to nearly everyone on our team and almost no one voted for Taco."
"Eh? Strange huh," Wario acted ignorant. "They must be stretching the truth, wahahahahaha!"
"Are you calling us liars!?" Trucy pouted.
"Wah-t else am I supposed to call you?" Wario mocked.
"You're dodging the question," Makoto interrogated some more. "Why was Taco taken out of the show, when she didn't get the most votes?"
"Uhhhhhhhh."
"C'mon, big guy," Trucy smiled rather menacingly. "You know you can tell us the truth…or else."
"Oh, would you look at-a-that!" Wario suddenly let out, "IT'S-A-TIME TO GET OUT OF WARIO'S ROOM!"
Makoto & Trucy both literally got dropkicked out of Wario's room by the man himself.
"Mention this again, and you're both getting disqualified!" Wario slammed the door shut.
"I'd like to see you try," Makoto said under her breath.
Suddenly, Makoto's phone buzzed. Trucy looked over in curiosity.
"Makoto, who is this?" Trucy asked in curiosity.
"I'm not too sure," Makoto told the magician. "They call themselves 'C' and they've been helping Judy & I out. This time, it looks like C's sent an audio file."
Makoto tapped on the file and what played was Wario's voice.
"Well, you see, I am NOT giving any of those chumps 1 million dollars! I am a businessman first and foremost, therefore, I will keep the 1 million dollars AND get money from the show's ratings!"
Makoto & Trucy gasped after they heard the voice.
"This whole game is a scam!?" Trucy yelled out.
"Trucy! Quiet!" Makoto scolded the magician. "I should've known. Wario's made it crystal clear how dirty he's willing to play."
"What are we gonna do?" Trucy asked.
"I'm going to report this to Looker," Makoto answered.
"...and that's what happened!" Usopp told Marcie, Reuben, & SpongeBob after the former got healed by Ashley's magic.
"Wow, that's one interesting story you've got," Marcie said in response. "The God of the Underworld competing on a crummy reality show?"
"I know! But Captain Usopp and all of his crewmates put him in his place!" Usopp boasted.
"You're so cool, Usopp!" SpongeBob gushed.
"Yeah right," Reuben finished his sandwich. "You, commanding that samurai guy around?"
"Hey! Luffy may do a lot of the fighting…and the leading…and calling of the shots…"
"Just give it up," Hot Dog Water told the sniper. "You're obviously not the captain of whatever crew you're on."
"You guys are such killjoys, you know that?" Usopp deflated.
"Don't worry, captain, I still think you're cool!" SpongeBob interjected.
"At least someone can appreciate my bravery." The long-nosed pirate smirked.
"Usopp, mind if I talk to you for a second?" Hot Dog Water suddenly asked.
"Uh, sure?" Usopp raised an eyebrow as Reuben also gave a confused look on his face.
Hot Dog Water took Usopp into the kitchen and checked to see if anyone was watching. Once she saw no one, Marcie began her conversation.
"I'm gonna guess you're part of the pirate crew Doflamingo hates so much."
Usopp gulped. "What about that guy!? I'd rather forget about him!"
"Usopp, I am in serious trouble," Marcie then admitted. "Doflamingo has been hanging over my head and I wanted to know how you and your crew defeated him."
Usopp let out a nervous chuckle. "Well, you see, Luffy's the one that mostly handled everything…"
"Huh? But that doesn't make any sense since Doflamingo seems to have some special hatred for you specifically."
"Hey, I'll get to that," Usopp then told the high schooler. "Luffy did what he usually does, punching the guys head in, and I…took out one of his most important officers…"
"If you were able to take out someone that important, then surely you can take Doflamingo on!"
"...do you have a chili pepper I could eat?"
Marcie then furrowed her eyebrows. "So you just won with dumb luck!?"
"HEY! I'm not some monster like Zoro is!" Usopp argued. "There's only so much of those beatings I can take!"
"That's just fine." Marcie said in an irritated tone.
"Now if you'll excuse me…" Usopp patted his waist. "Where's my slingshot!? WHERE'S MY SLINGSHOT!?"
Hot Dog Water left as Usopp started tearing the kitchen apart looking for his slingshot.
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Hot Dog Water: There goes my first plan of taking down Doflamingo. This is bad, really bad. It seems like I'll have to resort to plan B….I really don't want to do plan B.
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Penny sighed, "Such a shame that Taco got out so unfairly, considering all the happy memories she's had here…"
In came a montage of Taco's memories of Gold such as…
Mokey trying to eat her as soon as she entered the show.
Kirby trying to eat her.
Getting chased by a murderous Mokey high on meth.
Seeing tacos get served at the food court in Coconut Mall.
Being chased by an enraged Buggy after Daffy insulted the pirate's nose.
Being chased by a crazed French Goomba who was trying to cook her.
Almost getting eaten by a mob of Boos.
And actually getting eaten by some creepy looking bunny (Penny's not sure how that ended up in her memory banks).
"...on second thought…maybe those memories weren't so happy after all."
"WAH! It's-a-time for the next challenge, chumps!" Wario announced through the intercom. "Meet me at the deck!"
"He can't expect me of all people to do a challenge when my scrapbook is still lost!" Qwark whined.
"I'll find it, Qwark, don't worry." Judy reassured the 'hero', "Let's just do the challenge for now."
"Unless you want me to knock some sense into you." Olivier added coldly.
"There's no need for more violence, Armstrong." Judy said tiredly.
As everyone got onto the deck, they were greeted by a guest that truly shocked them.
"DAFFY!?"
"Bet you all missed me!" Daffy boasted. "Yes, yes, I know how I was ROBBED of my victory, by that plucking G guy, when I get my hands on him…But I digress."
"Get this duck outta here," Paul blurted out.
"What the edgelord said," Ted added. "There's only room for one funny animal on this cruise ship."
"Niether of you are funny," Paul glowered at the bear.
"Wah, you-a-see," Wario told the cast. "Daffy & I have a new partnership going on!"
"WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHT!?" Waluigi screamed in fury.
"Oh boo-hoo, big nose!" Daffy fake cried, "Are you gonna cry about it?"
"Grrrr, Warioooooo, you, yooooooooooou." Waluigi clenched his teeth in anger.
"Daffy-a-Duck is the partner in crime I never had!" Wario gave Waluigi the biggest shit eating grin imaginable. "Until now! Wahahahahahaha!"
"And I'm gracing you all with my presence to give you you're next challenge!" Daffy told everyone.
"Graceful?" Makoto giggled. "Daffy, you're not what I think of when I think fo gracefulness."
"What'd you know, girly!" Daffy then cleared his throat. "Our next stop will be forest in the wilderness. There, you'll find a certain wascally wabbit, and I want all of you to hunt him down!"
"You want us to KILL someone!?" Makoto said in a sharp tone.
"WHAT!? NO!" Daffy yelled. "I'm not THAT sick in the head! I just want all of you to humiliate him on multiversal television! Blow him up, knock him unconscious, drop pianos on him, ANYTHING WORKS! The team that gets the blow on the wabbit wins!"
"Wait, we're huntin' down Bugs Bunny!?" Ted yelled out in shock.
"No, you're having a nice conversation with that wabbit," Daffy mocked. "OF COURSE YOU'RE HUNTING HIM DOWN AND HUMILIATING HIM!"
"You don't need to worry everyone, cuz I've been watchin' these Bugs Bunny cartoons my whole life," Ted bragged. "I know what I'm doing."
"Somehow, I doubt that," Marcie rolled her eyes.
The Wario Cruiser docked at a lake in the forest as the contestants all got off the ship.
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Usopp: I may not have my slingshot with me, but I have tons of other ways to catch a rabbit. I have my Usopp Hammer, rubber knife, and my dials! Oh, and there's my old slingshot too. Hehehehe, this will be a piece of cake.
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Both teams formed a circle each as they discussed how they would catch this rabbit.
"I CAN'T-A-BELIEVE WARIO'S REPLACED ME!" Waluigi exclaimed.
"Sheesh, pointy shoes, no need to be such a baby." Usopp said in exasperation.
"EASY FOR YOU TO SAY!" Waluigi genuinely made the sniper step back a little in shock, "Wario & I used to be as thick as thieves! Partners in crime! A band of mischief! But ever since he made that-a-game company, he's treated me like-a-nothing! You wouldn't know anything about what it's like being seen as a complete joke in your universe!"
"Break it up," Olivier bluntly stated. "We're in the middle of a challenge, so it would be to our benefit if you two don't start with your usual shenanigans."
Judy was jaw dropped after Waluigi had let all of that out.
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Judy: Wow, Waluigi seems…upset. That didn't feel like his usual bickering with Usopp. Armstrong reeeeaaaaalllly could've been more sensitive about it, but I might have a talk with the guy later.
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
"Now, we need to have a plan as to how we're going to capture this rabbit." Olivier told her team.
"The obvious thing to do is get a cage and a carrot," Walter said smarmily. "That little fucker will cave instantly."
"Wah, where would we get a cage, genius?" Waluigi asked.
"Y'know, I'm not too sure about a challenge where we're trying to capture a bunny…" Judy told the team in an uncomfortable tone.
"Why do you say…oh…" Usopp almost asked. "Because you're a rabbit…"
"Hey, look at it this way," Ted told Hopps. "You could get a boyfriend that way…wait a minute…"
Judy immediately realized what Ted was about to suggest. "I am NOT seducing this bunny!"
"I have to admit," Armstrong surmised. "It isn't a bad plan."
"ARMSTRONG!" Judy exclaimed.
"No no, no need for Hopps to take center stage." Qwark spoke up. "I will be enough."
"Qwark, just because one imbecile fell for your crossdressing routine doesn't mean everyone will," Olivier told Qwark aggressively.
"Maybe this Bugs Bunny guy's an imbecile, ha ha ha ha ha haaaaaaaaa," Judy tried desperately to get out of this. "Uuuuuugh, FINE! But I WON'T like it!"
Team Flower were making plans themselves, as they huddled into a circle.
"Ta da!" Penny pulled out a metal detector looking device. "This is my Pest-Finder 3000! This helps search for animals such as mice, squirrels, and of course, rabbits! This should help us find the bunny."
"Honchkrow & Ninjask could be useful for that task." Paul added.
"Man, we've really shrunk down as a team." Reuben commented.
"Because everyone else was weak," Paul said harshly. "And it's not like anyone's been pulling their weight."
"Oh, you want to have this conversation again?" Makoto gave Paul another Niijima Glare. "How about you start working with the team instead of being off brooding."
"Tch, I'm not here to make friends!" Paul lashed out. "I'm here to win! Sorry for actually caring about winning our challenges and not magic shows or sandwiches."
"What did you say about magic shows?" Trucy put her hands on her hips.
"That they're tacky wastes of time that could've been spent on improving that thing's shoddy performance!" Paul pointed at Reuben.
"Shoddy!? SHODDY!" Reuben was pissed. "Listen here edgelord, I didn't even want that role in the first place! If you're so much better than all of us, how's about you show it for once!"
"AND TACKY!" Trucy blew up at Paul and had to be held back by Penny to not whoop the Pokemon trainer's ass. "I'LL SHOW YOU TACKY YOU BIG JERK! GET OVER HERE! I'LL KNOCK SOME MANNERS INTO YOU!"
Paul then took off, "I'm not wasting my time with all of you any longer."
"Hmph, who needs him anyways!" Trucy crossed her arms.
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Doflamingo: HehehehehehhahahahahahaHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAAAAAA! I didn't even NEED to turn everyone against that little shit! He did it all on his own! This is priceless! This team already has a wedge formed into it, and this wedge will only split this team further and further apart.
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
After all of the contestants split up, Usopp & Ted walked through the forest. Ted pushed every cobweb, every bug, and other stuff right at Usopp's face as the latter kept spitting them out.
"WOULD YOU QUIT IT!?" Usopp yelled at Ted.
"Quit what? Cuz I ain't quittin' drugs. Waltie's cocaine is the stuff of legends, man!" Ted replied.
"Huh?" Usopp said confused. "No, I meant, STOP THROWING COBWEBS AT ME!"
"But Pinocchio, ya gotta understand," Ted pleaded. "I can't ruin my face with cobwebs! What would the ladies think?"
"I don't know! Just stop throwing things at me!"
The arguing duo found their way to a certain hole as they kept arguing. Eventually a familiar gray rabbit wearing white gloves poked his way out. There was no mistaking it, this rabbit was Bugs Bunny.
"Nyeeeeeh," Bugs chomped on a carrot. "What's up docs?"
Usopp & Ted looked at the rabbit, then looked at each other, then at the rabbit again.
"Oh my God, it's him!" Ted muttered, "We found Bugs' bunny ass!"
Usopp grinned as he said. "Halt! You rascally rabbit, for it is the Great Captain Usopp, and all of my 300 men are surrounding you as we speak! I'd suggest to surrender now before we all gang up on you!"
"300, huh, ya got me quakin' in my boots, doc." Bugs said dramatically. "I'll come wit' ya, just don't shoot alright?"
Usopp chuckled. "See Ted, that was easy as pie. We didn't even need to get Judy to seduce him."
While Usopp's back was turned, Bugs took out a lit piece of dynamite and slipped it in Usopp's pocket. The toon went back in his hole right after doing that.
"Man, the amount of bitches I'll get from winnin' this challenge for all of us will be amazing!" Ted gushed.
"Ted, please, only one of us can fantasize at a ti-" Usopp was then interrupted by…
KAAABBBBOOOOOOOOOOOOOMMMMMMMMMMM!
Usopp & Ted were covered in soot as Usopp's hair stuck straight up. The two groaned as they both fainted.
"Nyeh, shouldn't have left yer'self open like dat, doc." Bugs snarked as he took a bite of a carrot. "Now where's those 300 men, huh?"
"I….am….captaiiiiin…." Usopp fainted again.
"Ain't I a stinker?" Bugs turned to the camera and talked to you, the reader.
Walter hid in some bushes with a gun, and he had left a carrot out in the woods. Heisenberg checked his watch over and over again to pass the time. Bugs finally showed up and picked the carrot up.
"A carrot? For me? Aw, ya shouldn't have." Bugs took a bite as Walter fired the gun.
Walter looked after firing, but Bugs had completely vanished. Walter took off his glasses, rubbed them, and put them back on. He still saw no sign of a rabbit.
"What the fuck?" Walter said under his breath.
"Nyeeeh," Bugs appeared right next to the drug lord. "That was a good shot doc, but ya really gotta work on dat ugly mug o' yer's."
"ACK! HOW!?" Walter yelled out.
Bugs then plugged his finger in Walter's gun as he then started saying. "Well, doc, yer aim was off, ya need to get some bettah ammo, maybe grow some hair."
Walter kept trying to fire, but eventually, there reached a point when the gun went…
KAAAAAABBBBBOOOOOOOOOOMMMMMMMMM!
Walter was covered in soot and his clothes were all torn up and everything. Bugs then smooched White right on the lips as the former ran away. Walter spat out the kiss almost immediately.
"God, I'm gonna kill that rabbit." Walter growled.
Bugs went to rest in a hammock as Waluigi & Judy hid behind a rock.
"Now, copper!" Waluigi pushed Judy out of hiding.
Judy had excessive make up on, wore a skinny red dress with high heels, and she looked humiliated.
"Let's get this over with," Judy sighed. "Ohhhhhhh, honneeeeeeeeyyyyyyy!"
Bugs lifted his sunglasses on and saw Judy.
Bugs whistled. "Aren't you a sight for sore eyes!"
Judy then attempted to flirt with, "Yeah, sweetie, and may I say…you have some real impressive…eyes…"
Waluigi slapped his forehead at Judy's bad acting.
"And ya got some real darlin' eyes of your own," Bugs circled around Judy, "How's about we go on a date, you and I."
"Uhhhhhhhh," Judy looked over to Waluigi who nodded yes. "Yyyyyeeeessssss."
"Fantasic!" Bugs jumped back in his hole. "I'll be out in a moment, sweetcheeks."
"What have I got myself into?" Judy said to herself.
Usopp & Ted got up after they had been blown up.
"That rotten rabbit," Usopp said with anger.
"You said it, Pinocchio, why I oughta…" Ted saw Judy and said, "What the hell, why are ya dressed like some floozy!?"
"What did you just call me!?" Judy glared at Ted.
"Now now boys, no need to fight," Bugs jumped out of the hole, wearing the same outfit Judy was with the makeup and everything, but Bugs had a blonde wig on too.
"Humina humina humina humina humina humina humina humina humina humina humina!" Ted's eyes turned to hearts as he floated over to Bugs. "Helllloooooooo big boobas!"
"Oh come ON!" Usopp yelled out. "Not even SANJI would fall for that…who am I kidding, he absolutely would."
"Helllooooo handsome," Bugs winked at Ted.
"I want to vomit," Judy groaned.
"I just wanna eat a whole salad buffet off of your bare ass!" Ted was getting really frisky now.
"Oh, is that so," Bugs flirted some more. "How's about ya follow me to da salad bar?"
"Ohhhhhhh, I can't wait hotcakes." Ted said in excitement.
"I dunno, Ted," Usopp warned the bear. "This seems like a trap."
"C'mon, Pinocchio, don't ya know to not look a gift horse in the mouth?" Ted ran over to where Bugs had gone.
Ted went inside a "salad bar" that was actually a giant cardboard cutout leading to a cave. The teddy bear noticed it was dark and turned on the light that was just inside the cave for some reason. What Ted didn't realize was that none other than a giant ferocious tiger was sitting in the cave drooling.
"REEEEEEEOOOOOOOOOOOWWWWWWWWWWW!" The tiger roared.
"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!" Ted screamed as he ran out while being chased by the tiger.
Usopp & Judy also screamed as they ran away too. Bugs, out of disguise, came out from behind the cave after the trio were chased away by the tiger.
"No one can resist my good looks," Bugs quipped. "And dat rabbit lady isn't my type."
Honchkrow flew over the forest in pursuit of that looney tune. Paul followed his Pokemon as it led him to a cliff.
"Dead end," Paul commented.
"Nyeh, what's up doc?" Bugs suddenly appeared behind Paul.
"Honchkrow, Shadow Ball, now!" Paul commanded.
"Hoooooonchkrow!" Honchkrow shot a shadow ball at Bugs, who just yawned and started reading.
"I coulda given ya da easy way out, doc." Bugs lamented. "But beggars can't be choosers."
Bugs then whipped a tennis racket out of hammerspace and whacked the shadow ball right at Paul. This caused Paul to then be balancing off the edge of the cliff.
"HONCHKROW, HELP ME!" Paul yelled out.
"Don't worry, doc," Bugs pulled out a hammer and a nail as he said. "I got ya."
Bugs plopped the nail on the cliff and tapped it with a hammer. This caused the cliff to crack completely and fall with Paul on it.
"I'M GONNA KILL THAT CINDERAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaace!"
THUMP!
"HONCH!" Honchkrow flew straight after its trainer.
"If I were you," Bugs yelled out to the bottom of the pit. "I'd get myself a haircut, cuz dat hairstyle is so 2000's!"
Waluigi was still waiting behind that rock.
"C'mon…any-a-second now…" Waluigi said to himself.
Trucy followed Penny who scanned the grounds for any trace of a bunny.
"Maybe if we catch this rabbit," Trucy thought out loud. "Maybe I can use him for my magic shows!"
"Ooo, like pulling him out of your hat?" Penny asked.
"No, Penny! My magic panties!" Trucy corrected.
"Trucy, are you sure you don't just want to use your hat?" Penny sweatdropped.
"Why? I feel like those panties work really well."
"Because it sounds so wrong!"
"Nyeh, what are ya ladies, arguin' over?" Bugs interrupted the two girls.
BING! BING! BING!
"It's him!" Penny gasped. "Hey, Trucy & I were told by Daffy Duck to capture you, so if you don't mind."
"Daffy, huh," Bugs smirked. "Dat explains a whole lot. Still bitter he lost dat show huh?"
"Yeah, but I'm also a big fan of your's," Trucy pulled out an autograph book. "Would you mind giving me your autograph."
"Aw, how heartwarmin'," Bugs took the book. "Of course I'll give a fan an audiegraph."
Trucy laughed lightly under her breath until suddenly, she & Penny were caught by a net. Bugs smiled as he had pointed a pen at the two of them.
"Ya thought you were real wise," The bunny snarked.
"Let us out!" Penny yelled out.
"Oh I'll let ya out alright."
Next moment, Bugs had tied the net with Trucy & Penny in it to a tree, and said net was just above the Tasmanian Devil.
"BLAAAARGH, BLEEEEH, SPLSSSSSSSHHHHH!" Taz growled as he kept attempting to get at the net.
"AAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHH!" Penny & Trucy screamed.
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Penny: Is this how Taco felt with everything that wanted to eat her!? I think I understand why she was driven so insane.
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Doflamingo & Reuben hid in a tree that Bugs had just passed by.
"Doffy, the rabbit's here." Reuben told his boss.
"What are you waiting for? Get him!" Doflamingo pushed Reuben off the tree.
The experiment fell face first into the ground next to Bugs.
"What's up, doc?" Bugs chomped on another carrot.
"Well, ya see, would you…uh…like a sandwich?" Reuben asked as Doflamingo used his strings to slowly use Bugs as a marionette.
"I'm very flattered, furrball, but carrots are enough t' keep me goin'," Bugs then started being lifted up. "Ooookay, dis is different."
"You're mine now, rabbit." Doflamingo sneered at the toon.
"Ya got me, doc, what'll I do now!?" Bugs said dramatically.
"Yes, squirm, SQUIRM FOR ME!" Doflamingo licked his lips.
"Can I…can I say one last goodbye to my goilfriend, Lola?" Bugs asked while sobbing.
"Fine, but only because I love the sound of tears!"
Right as Doflamingo looked away to grab a phone, Bugs immediately kicked the ex-warlord straight in the crotch.
"OOOOHHHHHHHHHHH….." Doflamingo let out a high pitched screech as Bugs was then let go.
The pirate then dropped to the ground so hard, a Doflamingo shaped hole was formed in it.
"Yer definitely not havin' any kids now, pinky." Bugs pulled out an umbrella to land on the ground like frickin' Mary Poppins.
Reuben was laughing so hard at what happened to Doffy, before he was handed a sandwich.
"Here, doc, consida dis a present." Bugs told him.
"For me!? I've…never had someone give me stuff…" Reuben said before he took a bite of the sandwich.
That was a big mistake though, as Reuben's head turned as red as a tomato and steam blew out of his ears.
"That sandwich has super duper hot spicy ghost peppas in it!" Bugs whipped out a jar of those exact peppers to show to the experiment.
"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!" Reuben ran while he was breathing fire.
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Reuben: Ya can kick Doffy in the crotch, ya can insult my weight or say I'm slow, heck ya can even insult me for being created in a lab, but you DON'T DARE use sandwiches against me!

Walter had found himself in a strange hotel, the clocks were shaped in odd crooked ways, the tiles were a bright blue and the walls were bright red, a piano was hanging over a ceiling, clown shoes were all over the floor, and the doors were crooked in shape. Walter peeked through one of the peepholes of the doors and saw what looked like a gray rabbit in a dress.
"Gotcha," Walter opened the door as this 'rabbit' turned around.
"A MAAAAAAAAAAAAAAN!" This was NOT a rabbit, this was a crazy lady with red hair who immediately ran for Walter.
The toon woman made multiple kissing noises as Walter was absolutely mortified. White slammed the door shut, but that was no use as this lady kicked the door down.
"Yoo-hoo! Lover boy! It's Lena Hyena!" Lena looked for Walter who then dashed to the broom closet.
"Phew, safe and…" Walter looked down and saw nothing but the ground from way high up. "AAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHH! AAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!"
Walter fell straight down as Bugs then appeared next to him, also falling.
"Looks like yer ugly mug's gotten yerself into a real jam." Bugs remarked.
"Shut the hell up and GET OVER HERE!" Walter aggressively demanded.
"So pushy," Bugs sighed dramatically. "All right, pal, here's a parachute."
"About damn time…" Walter still didn't learn as he put the parachute on and activated it, only for it to be that same piano from earlier.
"AAAAAH-" Walter was interrupted as he was crushed by the piano.
White got up from the rubble on the ground and was swollen all over the face and covered in bruises. The drug lord prepared his hands for strangulation for the moment he saw that damn bunny again.
"How the fuck did I survive that?" Walter asked himself before he heard running.
"COME TO ME MY LOOOOOOOOOOOVE!" Lena ran right for the bald man.
Walter found a white line and tore some of it. He then put it next to a brick wall causing Lena to slam right into it.
"Cartoons," Walter scoffed. "Gets 'em every time."
Olivier & Qwark positioned themselves at a log cabin. Qwark had the deranged plan of getting the rabbit to join a band, and Olivier rolled her eyes when she had heard it. Why Armstrong went with this plan was…well…she's just morbidly curious.
"Pray tell, Qwark, how do you suppose that a rabbit will be attracted to this log cabin of all things?" Olivier asked.
"Oh, I made sure to hide a meaaaaaan carrot cake in the fridge." Qwark rubbed his hands together. "Baked by your's truly. No rabbit would ever be able to resist that."
The duo heard a knock on the door, and after opening it, Bugs was right there.
"I couldn't help but overhear you mugs have baked a mean carrot cake." Bugs ate more of his carrot.
"Yeeees, come right in, Mr. Bunny!" Qwark said deviously.
"How subtle of you," Olivier rolled her eyes.
Bugs entered the cabin as both he & Qwark sat down at a table.
"Now, doc, when's da cake gonna be served?" Bugs asked.
"Nuh-uh-uh, first you have to play in Olivier…"
"I told you, we're NOT on first name terms," Armstrong interjected.
"Now, now, Olivier," Qwark argued. "You don't want to scare our guest away with your cold stares."
Olivier stayed silent.
"Seriously, if looks could kill, then you'd have a seeeeerious body count."
"Let's focus on the task at hand and not on my 'cold stares'." Olivier said sharply.
"Now Mr. Bunny, you join the band, you get cake. Simple as that." Qwark told Bugs.
"I'm in, doc, I always wanted t' play da drums." Bugs pulled some drumsticks out of nowhere.
"Excellent!" Qwark grinned. "Now just stand over there."
Qwark stupidly stood right where he told Bugs to stand, and Olivier just happened to be standing there too.
"Qwark, why did you…" Olivier was interrupted by Bugs pulling the lever.
A giant hammer came in and squashed both Qwark & Olivier and then some robotic hands made the two of them into a drum.
"See, told ya I always wanted t' play da drums." Bugs then slammed one of the drumsticks on one side of the drum very hard, sending Olivier & Qwark FLYING out.
The duo went right through a wall of the log cabin and their heads stuck out through the exterior.
"I am going to murder that rabbit!" Olivier growled.
Doflamingo got up from his hole, and snuck up behind Bugs. The ex-warlord ran right for him, before going face first into a brick wall.
SLAM!
"What a maroon," Bugs showed up with red-orange paint.
"Who the Hell are you talking to!?" Doffy shook Bugs by the shoulders. "THERE'S NO ONE THERE!"
"See, doesn't even know about da fourth wall." Bugs said to the audience again before morphing into a Doffy look-a-like.
"Who da hell are ya talkin' to?" Bugs mocked before morphing back.
Marcie wandered through the woods alone as Walter left her behind after running off.
"Walter! Walter!" Marcie called out. "Isn't this just great, I'm stranded out here."
"Marcie?" Makoto walked up to Hot Dog Water. "Do you know where everyone else is?"
"No, just you, Koto." Marcie answered.
"I've been meaning to ask you," Makoto then showed Hot Dog Water the video of the latter and Ted knocking out Kat & Ana that Futaba caught. "Would you mind telling me what you and Ted are doing here?"
Marcie froze.
"Oh…is that me…?" Hot Dog Water nervously chuckled.
"What were you and Ted doing?" Makoto glared at the girl.
Marcie sighed. "You got me, Makoto…Ted, Walter, Paul, & I…have been in an alliance all along…"
"What?" Makoto gasped. "So…our friendship…"
"That was Doflamingo's handiwork…" Marcie then started trembling. "I…I have no idea what to do. I signed on here as a way to escape from someone evil back home, but now I've been caught up in two evil alliances."
"Marcie…" Makoto said in a low pitch.
Makoto wouldn't lie, she had suspicions of Marcie from the start. The phantom thief had that feeling that something was not adding up with how Hot Dog Water just suddenly wanted to be her friend. But now, Makoto saw some of herself in Marcie in a way, from back when she was practically a lap dog for Principal Kobayakawa.
"I know everyone's probably already figured out Walter's alliance," Marcie then started shedding tears. "But the truth is that I CAN'T STAND that snake! And don't get me started on Doflamingo either…"
"It really is just like," Makoto thought back to her fellow teammates having pretty similar experiences. People with power abusing said power to use that person for their own gain.
That's when Makoto had the idea in her mind of, "Could we…change Walter White's heart?"
No, that seemed impossible. It would take forever to even find Walter's universe, not to mention how she and her friends would even find a way to travel through different universes. Makoto's main focus was still on Wario after all, but she didn't want to just leave Hot Dog Water to deal with this awful situation.
Makoto finally said out loud, "I won't lie, Marcie, that was low to pretend to be my friend."
"I know, I don't blame you if you never want to talk to me again," Marcie said lowly.
"But, I'm willing to give you another chance."
"What?" Marcie said in shock.
"I'll try to help you through this, with the best of my ability."
"I don't know what to say, M." Hot Dog Water felt speechless.
"Let's just say, I can empathize." Makoto said simply, before leaving.
A montage then played consisting of, Waluigi getting run over by a train, Olivier having an anvil dropped on her head, Paul running with a bee hive on his head, Walter getting flattened by an elephant, Usopp having his nose be so stretched out, that Bugs let go and it launched the sniper all around the Earth before landing back where he was, Judy getting sprayed by tons of badly smelling perfumes, Makoto getting struck by lightning, and just lots of other torment.
Wario & Daffy relaxed on beach chairs at the dock when the cast all came back.
"Got that dessssssspicable wabbit yet?" Daffy asked before his eyes bulged out. "GOOD GOD, WHAT HAPPENED TO YOU!?"
The whole cast was bruised, battered, bandaged, burnt, scarred, and they all glared daggers at Daffy.
"You mean to tell me NONE of you got that-a-rabbit!?" Wario yelled in annoyance. "WAH! Well…Team Flower wins because Wario's sick of them-a-losing all the time!"
There was an awkward silence as the contestants glared at Daffy some more.
"What!? How was I supposed to know you're all so pathetic, you couldn't even capture a wabbit!" Daffy told everyone.
"That's it," Marcie said in aggression. "Get him!"
"Mother…" Daffy whimpered.
Everyone jumped Daffy and got engulfed into a fight cloud as they all beat the shit out of him.
"AAAAAAHHHH! NOT THE BILL! NOT THE BILL! MY BEAUTIFUL BEAUTIFUL FACE!" Daffy screamed.
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Olivier: It is shocking how cathartic that felt. I may not have been able to let it out on that rabbit, but the duck will satisfy.
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Penny: Well, that's one way to get a win. I dunno, today stunk so hard. I hope our next challenge doesn't end up being as bad…right…why do I feel like I can hear someone from outside laughing right now?
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
During the evening, Reuben went to his room, and took out that Ugly Duckling book that he "borrowed" from Boo Cinema. He read it pretty intently and got to the part when the duckling was lost.
"Lost…I'm…" Reuben remembered the talk he had with Makoto the other day and smiled.
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Reuben: You know, for a while, I thought about what Doflamingo said about me…but now…I realize, so what if I'm a freak? Look at all the people here, ya got Pinocchio nose, a teddy bear, a rabbit cop, and so on. I may not have something like a blood family or anything, but I've got everything I'm happy with in Gantu and everyone back home. Tomorrow, I'll tell that big jerk, Doffy, exactly what I think of him.
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Judy asked Olivier some questions about the recent thefts. Team Mushroom, sans Marcie & Ted, were in the lobby, talking about who to eliminate.
"Has anything belonging to you at all gone missing?" Judy asked the sergeant.
"Hmm, this is peculiar to say the least," Olivier then thought about what Judy said. "I don't know if any belonging of mine in particular has gone missing. However, I'll keep an eye out."
"HEY GUYS!" Ted's voice called out.
"What does the bear want now?" Walter groaned.
"GUYS! YOU WON'T BELIEVE THIS! ALL OF YOUR STUFF WAS UNDERNEATH QWARK'S BED!" Ted pointed accusingly at Qwark.
"EXCUSE ME!?" Qwark exclaimed.
"WAH!? IT WAS-A-YOU!?" Waluigi hollered.
"GIVE ME BACK MY SLINGSHOT, NOW!" Usopp yelled.
"..."
"What, what's with you, Armstrong?" Ted asked.
"Let's not jump to conclusions everyone," Olivier glared at Ted. "Clubber-lang, how did you know where all of our missing items were?"
"HUH!?" Ted blurted out. "I…uh…ya see…"
"Not just that," Olivier stood up and walked up to Ted. "But you're pretty quick to accuse Qwark."
"Armstrong, you really do love me!" Qwark sobbed.
"Hmph, I just don't approve of such misinformation effecting the way we vote." Olivier gave Ted a death stare.
Judy then said, "You know, it doesn't make much sense for Qwark to steal his own scrapbook."
"Hey, he just wanted to feign innocence," Ted attempted to defend himself.
Ted frantically whispered, "Waltie! Help!"
Walter just gave Ted a stare that just spelled out how done the former was with the former celebrity.
"You want to know what I think, Ted," Judy harshly told Clubber-lang. "I think YOU'RE the culprit, and you went out of your way to try to frame Qwark so we'd get him out! Is that right?"
"Uhhhhhhhhhhh," Ted was sweating bullets now. "Uh, h-hey! Did you all hear about what Qwark wrote about all of ya in his diary?"
Everyone glared harder at Ted.
"Bear," Walter spoke up. "It's over, you dug your own damn grave."
Ted gulped.
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Walter: Stolen items!? A DIARY!? What shit was Ted smoking to think any of this was a good idea!? What was he planning to do with the fucking diary!? 'Yeah, Qwark wrote mean things about all of you," WHAT DUMBASSES WOULD EVER FALL FOR THAT!? Well, at least, I'll finally be rid of him.
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Team Mushroom were now undergoing their elimination ceremony, and this one was an easy choice to say the least. Nonetheless, Mona gave each safe contestant a statue.
"Marcie."
"Waluigi."
"Olivier."
"Usopp."
"Judy."
"And Walter."
"Qwark, you're pretty self absorbed, and I'd imagine your teammates find it pretty obnoxious." Mona told the captain.
"Self-absorbed? I'm as humble as one can be," Qwark scoffed.
"And Ted, yeah, that plan you had really blew up in your face."
"C'mon, guys, I was just strategizin' here." Ted whined.
"The last statue goes to…" Mona then said, "I'm not even gonna raise suspense this time, it's so obvious. Ted, you're out."
"WELL FUCK ALL OF YOU TOO THEN!" Ted cussed everyone out. "Oh, and one more thing!"
"Bear!" Walter growled.
"WALTIE HAS AN ALLIANCE WITH HOT DOG WATER & PAUL!" Ted received more awkward silence.
"What?" Ted complained.
"We know…" Team Mushroom besides Marcie & Walter said.
"WHAT!?" Marcie blurted out.
"Hold up," Ted then said, "THEN WHY HAVEN'T ANY OF YOU DONE ANYTHING ABOUT IT!? No mega alliances? No usin' Waltie as a hate sink? NONE OF THAT!?"
"Sheesh, we have lives outside of you four," Qwark remarked. "Besides, it would ruin my perfect strategy."
"And Waluigi has bigger fish to fry!" Waluigi snorted.
Wario then came in, "Wah, and Ted, we have a special elimination for-a-you."
"Special, huh," Ted crossed his arms. "What? A participation trophy? Cuz I don't…HOLY SHIT, DONNY!"
A middle aged mustached man walked onto the scene and had a huge grin on his face.
"Hello, Ted, fancy meeting you again." Donny grinned a grin that would send shivers down anyone's spine. "It's almost Robbie's play hour again…and we wouldn't want you escaping again…"
"Yeah, this-a-guy wanted you, so who's Wario to deny that?" Wario said.
"FUCK NO! FUCK NO! FUUUUUUCK NOOOOOOOO!" Ted bolted out of the basement and jumped off the cruiser before swimming as fast as he can.
"GET BACK HERE!" Donny chased after the bear.
"What a creepy weirdo that guy is," Mona said in disgust.
"Well that concludes another episode, wahahahahaha!" Wario laughed.
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Olivier: Clubber-lang has proved to me that if we don't get him out of here, soon, there will be dire consequences.
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Judy: I'm all for strategy, okay, but to frame someone for theft. That's way too far. I'm sorry.
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Waluigi: Wah, the bear's a big stupido, but Qwark's still annoying.
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Votes Altogether;
Ted: Judy, Olivier, Usopp, Hot Dog Water, Qwark, Walter
Qwark: Ted, Waluigi
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Waluigi left the elimination ceremony, still feeling bitter.
"Wario thinks he can just replace me?" Waluigi thought. "Just like-a-that!? Waaaaaaaah!"
Doflamingo cackled like a maniac hearing the news from Marcie & Paul.
"Hahahahahaaaa," Doflamingo caught his breath. "A diary!? I wish I was there to watch that little turd squirm."
"Yeah, that was something alright," Marcie said with her head low.
"No need to be so down, Fleach." Doffy told her condescendingly. "I could reward you handsomely if I were feeling generous."
"Our partnership is done, from here on out." Paul walked towards the door.
After Paul left, Doflamingo's veins started showing again. "Hell no, that little shit better not squeal on us."
Hot Dog Water sighed as she thought. "I hope you know what you're getting yourself into, 'koto."
And that concludes another episode. Ted is another character I'm gonna miss, even if I've only seen like clips of his movies and show. This challenge in particular is kind of an idea that was built up in the Discord server lol. I think it was G-man that originally came up with the idea of Daffy hosting a hunting Bugs challenge, and I've put it in the back pocket until now. I think this is my shortest chapter so far with it being like 28 pages while others are about 30-40. Anyways, I'll see you all next chapter!

Chapter Text
Daffy sat in Wario's office as the latter sat in his chair, hands folded over each other. The duck rubbed his eyes as to confirm what he was hearing at that moment.
"This whole show's a scam!?" Daffy asked. "This is the problem with American game shows right here! They're always fake! So glad I'm not stupid enough to fall for them."
"You fell for this very game show you imbecile." The crystal sassed.
"WAH! Wah-t? You think Wario will just HAND a million dollars over to just some chump because they won!?" Wario scoffed. "As if! Wario worked-a-so hard for all that treasure and cash!"
"What's in it for me then?" Daffy asked while pulling out a file for his non-existent finger nails. "I ain't partnering up with ya for free ya know."
"Don't-a-worry, I'll give you about half of the cash if you work with me here." Wario crossed his fingers behind his back as he said that. "You'll be assigned to the social media for this show."
"Social media?" Daffy raised an eyebrow. "Didn't you get cancelled for having a body pillow of that guy from Breaking Ba-"
"YES! YES! You're gonna clean up Wario's reputation! Got it?"
"Crystal clear boss," Daffy waved off and left.
As Daffy got to work on Total Drama Gold's social media, he grinned an wicked grin. He imagined himself swimming in piles upon piles of cash like Scrooge McDuck. Daffy sighed as he fantasized about all of the money he could swindle out of Wario.
Waluigi wandered the cruiser, hands in his pocket, hat covering his eyes, and head low. He clenched his fists as he thought about Daffy & Wario's new found partnership.
"Like the partner you never had?" Waluigi grumbled bitterly. "Yeah right, fatso."
"There you are!" Waluigi heard a voice he absolutely did not expect to hear.
Usopp marched right up to Waluigi as the former jabbed a finger at Waluigi's chest.
"What gives!? You've been acting all weird ever since last week!" Usopp yelled at the man in purple.
"Wah! Wah-t do you care, mister snowman?" Waluigi spat out. "Did Armstrong send you? Or that rabbit girl?"
"Ohhhh no they didn't," Usopp replied. "I came here on my own, ya hear? I still don't like you, but you seemed to get really upset during the last challenge."
"..." Waluigi suddenly laughed. "WAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! DO YOU EXPECT ME TO START, CRYING ON YOUR SHOULDER, AND GIVE YOU MY SOB STORY? Give me a break, I wouldn't be caught dead getting all touchy-feely with-a-you, carrot nose!"
"Carrot nose!?" Usopp growled. "Why you…"
"Wahahahaha! Smell ya later!" Waluigi walked away laughing.
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Usopp: That guy really is the worst! I don't even know why I tried to hear him out on what was upsetting him so much. If he wants to be that way, then whatever.
Usopp still rubbed his chin after saying that while looking in the distance.
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Waluigi went to a downstairs room, and this was just an average small boring computer room. It was gray and had papers all over the shelves. Waluigi shut the door as he went towards the chair. What he didn't expect was to see someone already there.
"EEK!" Penny yelled out.
"YOU!?" Waluigi exclaimed. "WAH-T ARE YOU DOING HERE!?"
"Uhhhhhh, nothing!" Penny quickly closed out of a tab that she had open. "You're…Waluigi…right? Wario's mentioned you before."
"How surprising," Waluigi rolled his eyes. "That fatso can acknowledge Waluigi's greatness!"
"Well, I wouldn't say that," Penny sweatdropped. "He…hasn't been very kind with his words about you."
"Figures."
"What's even the deal between you and Wario anyways," Penny then asked in genuine curiosity. "Your whole demeanor seems so spiteful towards him. I thought you two were supposed to be partners in crime."
Waluigi clenched his teeth before sighing. "We were, a long time ago. We hit it off after meeting at a bar years ago…"
During the aftermath of the Wario Bros participating in Bowser's invasion of the Mushroom Kingdom's Power Tennis Tourney. The duo walked back to Wario's house as they both talked.
"Wah, that really blew up in our faces," Waluigi said to Wario.
"Grrrr, that-a-Mario has humiliated us for the last time!" Wario grumbled in rage. "He'll be sorry next time, wahahahaha!"
"You said it, Wario," Waluigi agreed. "And I'll get back at Luigi soon enough!"
"Mario & Luigi don't stand a chance against the both of-a-us, Waluigi. We'll get revenge someday."
Wario & Waluigi laughed as the sunset, brightening the sky with an orange tone.
"And then…Wario made that-a-game company," Waluigi told Penny.
"WARIOOOOO!" Waluigi burst through the doors of Wario's house.
"Waluigi! That's-a-gonna cost me tons to repair that door!" Wario yelled at his partner in crime.
"Wah-t's the meaning of this!" Waluigi pulled out a flier for WarioWare Inc.
Wario looked at the poster and explained it with, "That's-a-my new gaming company. Wah-t do you think? A really good money making scheme, Wario would say."
"AND WHY WASN'T WALUIGI INVITED!? WHERE DID ALL OF THOSE-A-FRIENDS OF YOUR'S EVEN COME FROM!?" Waluigi confronted the garlic muncher some more.
"You'd be surprised at how easy it is to sucker some chumps into working for you." Wario was unphased.
"BUT WHERE'S WALUIGI IN THIS COMPANY!?"
"Waluigi," Wario suddenly got serious. "That game of your's, Waluigi's Taco Stand, flopped even harder than a Cheep Cheep on shore, and you wanted me to invite you to make games for me? Wah! Wah-t a joke!"
Waluigi saw red as he then said, "So I'm a screw-up, huh."
"If the shoe-a-fits."
"I'LL SHOW YOU, FATTY!"
"Waluigi's Taco Stand!?" Penny gasped. "I remember that game! It's such a hidden gem."
Waluigi huffed. "That-a-game bob-ombed so hard, that I became a laughing stock in the whole Mushroom Kingdom! I couldn't go out without hearing 'Waluigi's game sucks-a-eggs' or 'Waluigi? More like Wa-lame-igi'."
"Well, this was…a lot…" Penny said in slight surprise.
"And now…instead of me being Wario's partner in this whole scheme he's-a-got," Waluigi glared at Penny. "He picked-a-you."
"S-scheme!?" Penny blurted out. "How did you-"
"I was about to pull a prank on Wario when he was talking to you about the show before it started." Waluigi answered.
"Oh," Penny shook her head as she argued. "But I don't want ANY part in this scheme. I don't know how I got wrapped up in all of this, but you have to believe me!"
Waluigi looked at Penny and definitely took note of how she certainly looked like a goody two-shoes. Not one that would take part in a money laundering scheme such as this.
"Fine, Waluigi believes you," Waluigi responded.
"Really?" Penny adjusted her glasses. "Just like that?"
"Waluigi feels generous today…" Waluigi then said. "You're a good listener, Penny. It means…never you mind, just stay out of Waluigi's way!"
Waluigi left as Penny sat in silence. That was definitely a lot the purple tennis player had on his chest. Penny felt slight shock hearing about how much history there was between the Wario Bros, but she shook it off as she opened her tab back up and started typing again.
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Penny: Alright, it's taken a while for me to really be able to figure out where Wario is keeping those diary entries. It's so hard, because he tears the pages out of the diary in hopes that nobody will find them. I hope Judy & Makoto can put a stop to this mess soon.
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Makoto & Trucy hid out in the hallway leading to Wario's room. Trucy was able to use some kind of cloak to hide the both of them in the meantime. Makoto pulled her phone out as 'C' began typing some more.
C: Looks like you've made it.
Makoto: What exactly is inside Wario's room, exactly?
C: You'll see, just check the drawers.
"Being vague as ever," Makoto sighed.
"Well, they are a secret helper type," Trucy shrugged. "Maybe they've got sunglasses, a suit, and some fellow mafia members to 'erase' anyone that proves to be a problem."
"You have an….active imagination," Makoto struggled to put her words together.
Suddenly, they heard a door open. Wario walked out of his room and yawned. The host walked away from the room, presumably to get food or something, and the girls kept watch.
"Looks like the coast is clear, Koto," Trucy signaled.
Makoto & Trucy both dashed right into the room, and reeled back a little upon smelling the rancid smell.
Makoto gagged, "What is this!? Rotten garlic!?"
"Beats me," Trucy coughed.
Makoto looked around the messy room that had pizza boxes, clothes, and other stuff all over the floor.
"What's a ladder doing here?" Makoto glanced towards a random ladder Wario had in his room.
Trucy snickered, "Koto, that's a step-ladder."
"Huh?" Makoto raised an eyebrow. "They're basically the same thing, Trucy."
"No they aren't," Trucy argued. "Step-ladders don't need to lean against anything for you to be able to step on one. Unlike a ladder, where you need to do just that."
"Well," Makoto argued back. "How about you look more at the essence of things. It seems to be quite the narrow-minded cultural assumption to say that a step-ladder isn't a ladder due to that criteria."
Makoto then glanced at a drawer next to Wario's bed, and found a piece of paper sticking out. She walked over to open it, and what Makoto found was more diary pages like the ones they found last time.
Makoto glanced at the papers. "There's more!?"
"More what?" Trucy walked over.
"Judy & I found a piece of paper just like these," Makoto informed the magician. "And it looks as if these are all part of a diary."
"Oh, a diary?" Trucy put on a sinister grin as she said. "Maybe Wario could have some dark secrets in there. Hehehehehehe!"
"Trucy!" Makoto scolded before letting out a breath. "I really wonder about you."
The duo read the first page that was on the pile.
"XX/XX/XXXX
It's-a-day one of my new show! Wah! Wah-t a chump that Chris McLean guy apparently was! From what I've heard, he lost the rights to the 'Total Drama' branding after getting arrested for ruining the environment with toxic Fire Flower sludge.
Wah-tever, I've got the permission to run the show now. Wah-t a bunch of chumps these people are! Waluigi's all mad at me for not including him in the plan (wah-t a baby, wahahaha), some baldie admitted to being a drug dealer, that Pinocchio loser is as much of a big chicken as Luigi is, and there's a taco too. The looks on their faces when-"
The page stopped there.
"Huh, of all the things that Chris McLean has done," Trucy put a finger to her chin. "That's what crossed the line."
"The looks on our faces when we find out this is all a scam is what he's thinking." Makoto put together.
"Just what are you ladies doing?" Trucy & Makoto went silent as the crystal appeared behind them.
"Oh! You…" Makoto tried to remember.
"You two aren't trying to expose Wario, are you?" The crystal asked.
"Uhhhh," Makoto felt stuck, but fortunately, Trucy had an idea.
"It's not like that at all, miss magical crystal." Trucy smiled. "Koto just lost that panda pencil case she carries around and we were looking for it here."
"D-don't tell her about that!" Makoto blushed in embarrassment. "How did you even notice!?"
"Hmph, I haven't seen any panda pencil cases here." The crystal said.
"Well darn," Trucy shrugged dramatically. "Isn't that a shame. Let's look somewhere else, Koto."
"Uh, yes, thank you for your time…" Makoto droned before saying. "Do you have a name by chance?"
If the crystal had eyes, it would've rolled them. Makoto & Trucy left in a pretty suspiciously quick way. The crystal took note of that, until all of a sudden, it felt a string stick to it.
"Who's ther-"
The crystal was yoinked up to the ceiling before it could even finish that sentence.
Hot Dog Water opened the door to Walter's room. She knew that things were going to be rough. The first member of their alliance got eliminated, and apparently EVERYONE knew about it this entire time. That just begged the question to her of, if everyone knew about this alliance, could there be others out there? Are she & the rest of Walter's alliance more of a target than they think? Those thoughts were interrupted as Marcie was greeted by a Walter that glared daggers at her.
"Talk about if looks could kill," Marcie remarked. "You'd probably send people to the hospital with an ugly glare like that."
"Fleach, what the fuck?" Walter cursed at her.
"What's this…" Marcie looked and saw Paul also staring her down. "No! You didn't…"
"So what if I did?" Paul said with venom in his voice. "I have no sympathy for backstabbers like you."
"Look, this is all a misunderstanding...I..." Marcie tried to reason.
"Get out," Walter simply told her. "I'm not taking any backstabbers here. You're done."
Marcie sighed as she left the room.
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Hot Dog Water: Look, I can't stand Walter, and Ted & Paul sure weren't angels either. But, dang it, this was my one chance at getting further in the game. If it weren't for them, I would've been gone long before the vampire girl. Maybe Makoto will let me in her's…and I still have Doflamingo's alliance but he actually scares me.
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
"Tch, what a great alliance you've got here," Paul rolled his eyes at White. "We've already lost two members. What's your plan now."
Walter's eyes gleamed as he said. "Don't underestimate me, kid. I've got my ways."
Judy got her food at the cafeteria and sat down. In the distance, she saw Walter sitting by himself. Judy furrowed her eyebrows as she overheard some interns.
"No way, yo!" Jimmy said. "Walter's alliance fell apart?"
"That's what I heard from Marcie." Mona replied. "She was booted out, and if Paul lashed out like that, then there's only one conclusion we can make."
"Paul...lashed out?" Judy wondered.
"Man, she has to be lying." Jimmy laughed, "This is one of those last ditch efforts they talk about, yo!"
"I don't know," Mona looked to the side. "Marcie seemed pretty serious, and shaken for some reason."
"Walter's alliance has dissolved?" Judy thought as she approached the drug lord. "Heyyyyyy, White, some interns are really spilling the tea over you, y'know? What's the goss?"
"What's it to you, dirty pig cop." Walter rudely answered Hopps.
Judy then awkwardly said. "Well, I just wanna know. I meeeeaaaaaan you don't have anything to gain keeping this a secret. Am I right?"
"The alliance is done, Hopps." Walter replied. "Now let me drink my damn coffee in peace."
Hopps smirked. "Lying's an ugly thing, Walter. I know you've got something up that sleeve of yours, but I'll play dumb for now, alright?"
Judy headed out, as Walter's glasses shined and he grinned like a mad man.
Usopp grumbled as took a seat at the main lobby, "What do I care about pink nose anyways? He can handle it all by himself, I'm sure."
"GREETINGS, YOUNG USOPP!" Qwark announced.
"GAH!" Usopp fell to the floor and then got up. "QWARK! WHAT THE HELL WAS THAT FOR!?"
"You see, my future disciple," Qwark informed the sniper. "I've been thinking that it'd be best to rally up my own ragtag team if I don't want to end up on the hot seat again like the other day, and what do you say about joining my alliance?"
"YOU!? An alliance leader!?" Usopp yelled out. "You couldn't lead your way out of a paper bag!"
"Now, now, I know this must be very flattering for you." Qwark replied. "But the offer is still here. I tried to offer a spot to Olivier, but she gave quite the mean glare."
"The answer's still no!"
"Look at it this way, chum. It will be protection from eliminations."
"Uh, hmm," Usopp actually started thinking about it. "Fine, it's a deal."
The two shook hands as they came to that agreement.
"You won't have to worry about that, my long nosed friend." Qwark put an arm around Usopp's shoulder. "I hear that that bald guy's alliance collapsed, faded away, vanished, and Walter's all alone, alooooone, aloooooooone-"
"I can still change my mind, y'know." Usopp deadpanned.
"Apologies," Qwark backed off. "Now for your first assignment, I need you to find some more members for our alliance."
"ME!? What about you!?" Usopp barked.
"I'll…be doing some important hero work!" Qwark said in response. "Catch you on the flip side, Usopp!"
"GET BACK HERE YOU-" Qwark had already run away as Usopp yelled that.
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Usopp: Seriously, is this how Armstrong feels dealing with this guy? It's not a bad idea, teaming up with someone to get an extra vote and all. I don't buy that Walter's alliance is done, something about that seems way too easy. I'm getting off topic. Who could I even get on board here? …I'll get back to all of you.
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
The intercom to the Wario Cruiser went off as Wario made his announcement.
"WAH! We're making a pitstop here! Get your sorry butts over here now!"
"He could stand to be at least a little bit more polite." Makoto sighed.
"I dunno, he doesn't seem capable of doing that." Reuben said as he was absorbed in a familiar book.
Makoto took notice and said, "You seem to be enjoying that book."
Reuben perked up as he replied. "Uh, yeah, what's it to ya, missy?"
"It's…nothing." Makoto smiled as she then thought. "I'm glad he feels more confident in himself."
"Move it, you two." Paul interjected.
"Speaking of…" Makoto turned to face Paul. "What is your problem? Ever since we got on board, you've been nothing but rude to everyone."
"I'm not here to make friends," Paul glared at the phantom thief. "If I have to be rude, then I'm not holding back."
"Buddy, you've been cutting it real close with those eliminations," Reuben added his own two cents. "You'd better make some connections here, cuz if ya don't…"
Paul rolled his eyes as he then said, "Whatever. I'm going ahead."
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Reuben: If all you at home are wondering why I'm in such a good mood, well I've decided today's the day. The day I'm tellin' ol' Doffy exactly how I feel about him. I've tolerated getting beaten down for too long. That guy deserves a good ol' kick to the head!
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
The Wario Cruiser was stopped at none other than a big city. Signs lit up in the horizon with advertisements for things such as "Crazy Cap", the "Steam Gardens", and of course, the "New Donk CIty Festival". Tall concrete buildings were all over the place, and there was a grassy park somewhere near the entrance as well. Reuben was slack-jawed as he was mostly used to the rural island in Hawaii that he and Gantu were set in, Trucy had her hand over mouth as she gazed upon the place, Olivier had a slight look of intrigue, and Qwark looked around with his hand over his eyes.
"Ooo! They've got a knick-knack store!" Qwark gushed.
"Now this sure reminds me of home," Judy sighed. "Wonder how Nick is doing."
"Is that a science fair!?" Penny gasped as she pointed to a whole crowd of people gathered around with a banner saying 'science fair'.
"Wah! Do wah-tever you wahnt." Wario told the cast. "Dribble & Spitz are finding some fuel for the cruiser, so don't waste any time here!"
"May I ask why you have the cameras rolling, Wario?" Makoto asked.
Everyone looked around and saw that there very much were some Lakitus recording for the show.
"Wah-t? It's what they call a 'filler episode'!" Wario laughed. "Might as well get SOME ratings while I'm-a-here. Wahahahaha!"
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Penny: Yep, that's Wario all right. This should be fun though, sure the cruiser is nice and all, but I think we all needed a break from these challenges. Maybe I can find some supplies for my inventions while I'm here.
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
"Move it, chumps!" Waluigi shoved everyone out of the way. "Waluigi sees a tennis court nearby and he needs to prove who the real tennis king is!"
"What are we all waiting for anyways?" Trucy shrugged. "Let's see what this place has to offer."
As nearly all the contestants left to look around the city. Doflamingo stayed back, with a wicked grin on his face. He waited until Wario hopped off the ship to reach into his feather coat. What Doffy had pulled out was none other than the crystal.
"Let me go right now, you absolute abomination of fashion!" The crystal commanded the ex-warlord.
"My, my, is it true that you have all mighty power," Doflamingo grinned menacingly at the artifact.
"I will not allow you to use it if THAT's what you're asking!" The crystal fired back.
"I'm afraid you don't have a choice." Doflamingo stuffed the crystal back into his pocket as he jumped off the ship and seemingly flew his way over to the New Donk City hall. "But first, I have some business to settle with a certain man."
Mayor Pauline was doing paperwork, as mayors do, until, her secretary approached her.
"Miss Pauline," The secretary said.
"Yes, what is it, Thomas?" Pauline asked. "You seem…anxious."
Thomas took a breath before he said, "The Cruiser…we saw it approaching our city."
Pauline then took on a more serious expression as she said. "Don't worry, I have it covered."
Pauline whipped her phone out and started calling someone. "Daisy, we found him."
Makoto sighed as she & Trucy went all over the mall of New Donk City. This mall was not nearly as crazy as Coconut Mall was during its flash sale, the floors were so shiny that they showed a near perfect reflection in them, the place had walls of various different shades of white, and there were a variety of many different stores too. 'Crazy Cap' could be seen on the first floor from it's yellow and purple color scheme, and stores for games, power-ups, clothes, candy, go-kart parts, etc. could all be seen throughout this mall.
"I never would've taken you for such a heavy shopper, Trucy." Makoto said while carrying multiple bags consisting of magic props and magician's hats.
Trucy shrugged while holding lots of bags of her own, "I haven't been to any malls until this show. Isn't going to the mall our thing, anyways? Since we're both girls?"
"Not entirely," Makoto answered. "I've been so focused on exposing Wario's show for what it is, that having fun hasn't been on my mind."
"That's your problem, Koto." Trucy pouted a little. "You're always so uptight. You need to let loose every once and a while."
Makoto chuckled. "You sounded like my friends just now."
"Are they wrong?"
"I guess not."
The two stopped at a shop that sold all sorts of merchandising themed around different animals. Makoto's eyes however landed on the display glass where a box of panda themed pencil were.
"Uh, Koto?" Trucy poked at her friend. "Is there a thing you have with pandas?"
"Trucy, I need those pencils!" Makoto told the magician in a suddenly serious tone.
"Whoa," Trucy was taken aback. "Chill out a little."
"There's no time to waste!" Makoto went inside the store as Trucy just stood there.
"She must really love those panda things." Trucy said to herself.
Waluigi made his way to a tennis court. This court had a pretty big green floor as two New Donkers were playing tennis with one another. Waluigi rubbed his chin before climbing up the fence surrounding it. He attempted to climb down the fence from the other side, but once Waluigi got to the top and put his leg over to the other side, he lost his balance and fell.
"WWWWWWAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!" Waluigi fell face first onto the court, and caught the two tennis players' attention.
"Who's this guy, Jerry?" One of the players asked.
"I dunno, but he looks really weird."
"WAH! I'm-a-Waluigi!" Waluigi got up and struck a pose. "The greatest tennis player the Mushroom Kingdom has ever seen!"
"The greatest? HAH!" Suddenly, a woman walked into the court.
She was dressed in a white shirt and blue shorts with a visor on her head. She also had pretty long hair that was a very dark blue tied up in a ponytail.
"Is that…Ima Nathlete!?" One of the two other tennis players said in shock.
"WAH!? WHO'S THIS-A-GIRL!?" Waluigi felt his ego getting hurt.
"Oh, I'm only the best tennis player in all of the Metro Kingdom!" Ima bragged. "And you think you can take me? Pffffft, please!"
"Grrrrrrr, Waluigi will show-a-you!" Waluigi clenched his teeth.
"Hmph, you're not even worth that much effort." Ima rolled her eyes. "But fine, humiliating you will be a nice way to pass the time, Mister Waluigi's Taco Stand."
"WAH!?" Waluigi's jaw dropped. "Y-you know…"
"Boys, get off the court." Ima told the two tennis players. "The Tennis Queen has arrived."
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Waluigi: I haven't heard anyone talk about that-a-game in so long. Wah, Waluigi thought he had finally gotten past that humiliation of a game. Wah-tever, I'll show that diva who the REAL best tennis player is! Wahahahahaha!
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Paul was off at a park by himself, about to train his Pokemon. He wasn't able to get time before because of the show, but now that Paul had time to himself, he took out his Pokeball and…
"Hey! Paul!" Penny called out. "Do you know where the science fair is? I got lost on my way there."
Paul sighed. "No I don't know where that is."
"Well, thanks for helping anyways," Penny smiled.
"Whatever." Paul rolled his eyes as he took Electivire out of the pokeball.
Qwark hammered some nails to keep a wooden stand together. However, he kept hitting his fingers with the hammer by accident.
"OUCH! OW! OUCH, MY PINKY!" Qwark teared up while sucking his pinky…whichever finger that is since he only has three fingers.
SpongeBob eventually walked up as Qwark nearly finished progress on this booth.
"Wow, what's all this about, Captain Qwark?" SpongeBob asked.
"I'm glad you asked, young sponge," Qwark boasted. "This is my autograph booth for all of my diehard fans! After all, who couldn't resist such a heroic looking chin?"
"Woooooow, that's so cool!" SpongeBob gushed. "Can I get an autograph? CANICANICANICANICANI!"
"Yes indeed," Quark turned to camera. "For it is me."
SpongeBob did a long sigh as Qwark signed the former's tie.
"I'll never wash this tie again!" SpongeBob declared.
Paul's Electivire punched a tree repeatedly in order to strengthen its punches. Paul stood with his eyes closed, brooding, as usual. This was until, someone interrupted this training session.
"Hey, Polly!" Reuben snarked. "Y'know where the nearest WaySub is? I ran outta sandwiches in the fridge."
"How do you think I would know?" Paul grunted.
"I dunno! Maybe if ya get outta that brooding session of yours and look around the big city," Reuben snapped back. "Then you'd be more aware of life's gifts."
"'Life's gifts'? Give me a break," Paul rolled his eyes.
"I'm outta here, I'll go snatch up some bologna from the grocery store."
Waluigi & Ima readied their stances as a referee blew their whistle.
"GO!"
Waluigi threw the ball up and hit it hard. Ima dashed forward and hit the ball back. Waluigi jumped up and spun around. This caused the ball to bounce back fast towards Ima, but she was able to grab a random item box that showed up and tossed a shell at it. The ball went really high, but Waluigi started using his air-swimming to get to it. He hit the ball again, and the match continued more and more.
"Ready to give up, yet, Miss 'Not an Athlete'?" Waluigi sneered.
"Pfft, please, you idiot." Ima scoffed. "I'm just getting warmed up."
"Wah! Now that's-a-loser talk!"
Waluigi grabbed another item box, and used a fire flower to shoot fire at Ima, who countered it with an ice flower. Eventually, Judy & Olivier found themselves at the tennis court.
"Huh," Judy said to Armstrong. "This looks like one intense tennis match."
"That's certainly a way to put it." Olivier crossed her arms.
"Heeeyyyyy, now, Armstrong." Judy grinned as she lightly elbowed Olivier. "Have any bets on who will win?"
"Can't say I do." Olivier replied.
The air between the two was silent, until Olivier finally said. "If I had to choose, that woman seems to have more experience."
"Whaaaaaaat?" Judy giggled before saying. "I think Waluigi's got this. After all, you have to believe in your teammates."
"I suppose so," Olivier responded before smiling a little. "If he loses, then you'll have to give me 10 push-ups."
"HUH!?" Judy blurted out. "No, no, waaaaait a minute. If that's the case, if that other person loses, you'll have to get an autograph from Qwark."
"It's a deal then," Olivier replied.
Paul walked to a nearby medical store, until he had stumbled across Qwark's booth.
"Why hello, kiddo!" Qwark showboated. "We've been competing on this show together for months now. This is your one and only opportunity to get an autograph from the one, theeeeee only, CAPTAIN QWARK!"
Paul just stared at Qwark, eyebrows furrowed.
"Good grief," Paul just kept walking as Qwark turned completely white with his jaw dropped.
"Such rejection…." Qwark cried.
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Paul: Does that moron know that no one even knows who he is here, because it's a different universe? Whatever, it's not like I care.
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Usopp wandered the streets of New Donk City. He passed by multiple residents as they went on with their days. Some gave the sniper weird looks due to him talking to himself.
"Man, how am I gonna do this," Usopp muttered. "'Hey, didn't see ya there! By the way, wanna join an alliance?' No, too straight-forward."
Usopp then felt a tap on the shoulder.
"Oh, what is it-" Usopp turned around, and there Doflamingo was. "AHHHHHHH! D-D-DOFLAMINGO! AHHHHHHHHHH!"
"Well, well, well," Doflamingo licked his lips. "It looks as if our beloved host isn't here right now. You are one lucky bird, Sniper King Usopp. Normally," Doffy's veins started showing again. "When you screw over a master plan by a world renowned pirate. One that's been successful for YEARS! He would typically want revenge."
"Uhhhhhh, y-y-y-y-step back!" Usopp barked. "Or else all of my 1,000 men will-"
Doflamingo clenched his fist as it suddenly turned to an iron tone. "Fortunately for you, I've had other fish to fry for the time I've been here. But now…the opportunity has come…"
"Eep!" Usopp cried inside. "Isn't it a b-bit much to use your h-h-h-haki!?"
Doflamingo's tone went to being completely terrifying. "For me to rip that fucking nose off your face and shove it so far up your ass that it comes out of your mouth!"
Doflamingo slammed his armored fist against Usopp's face, bloodying it and making a tooth fall out. Usopp was sent flying through multiple buildings. Some residents of New Donk gawked at what was happening. Doffy flew straight towards Usopp, turning some buildings into strings and shooting them right at the sniper.
"AHHHHHHHHHHHHH!" Usopp ran for his life as Doffy kept up with his assault.
"COME OOUUUUUUUTT, OH GREAT GOD USOPP!" Doflamingo spat the words 'God Usopp' out like they were poison. "I'M NOT DONE PLAYING WITH YOU YET!"
Doflamingo used more of his haki to cover his feather coat in armor, as he then dashed straight towards his victim. The ex-warlord shot feathers at Usopp, whos shrieked as he kept dodging them.
"WILL YOU LEAVE ME ALONE ALREADY!" Usopp sobbed.
"All those months," Doflamingo growled. "All those months, being chained down in that dreary prison. No thanks to you and those goddamned Straw Hats. It will be delicious to imagine the looks on their faces when I've killed their beloved crewmate!"
Usopp made a squeaking noise as he found out just how much of a grudge Doflamingo still had from Dressrosa. What Usopp didn't notice was a certain bug chasing after the ex-warlord.
"MINGO! STOP THIS RIGHT NOW!" Not-Jiminy yelled out. "REVENGE IS NEVER THE ANSWER!"
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Doflamingo: Was all of this a tad bit reckless? Sure, sure it was. However, imagine being in my shoes. You've worked your ass off building your own empire for many years, only for an complete and utter COWARD to RUIN everything by knocking one of your most important crew members out!
Doflamingo laughed psychotically.
Doflamingo: I may hate all of those Straw Hat bastards, but HIM! The amount that I loathe that sniper is nigh unmeasurable. This…hehehehehahahahahahahahHAHAHAHAHA! Will be so satisfying….
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Wario slacked off on a beach chair, sipping a coconut, as Dribble & Spitz did all the work on refueling the ship.
"Keep it up, chumps," Wario 'complimented', "Maybe Wario will raise your salary. Wahahahahahaha!"
"HOW'S ABOUT YA DO SOME O' DA WORK, FATSO!" Spitz snapped at his boss.
"Yeah, boss," Dribble backed his friend up. "What gives? Ya said you would do it!"
"Wah? Did Wario say that?" Wario laughed at his employees.
"YOU!" A voice was heard that made Wario jump.
This was none other than Pauline with a team of police backing her up.
"Just what are you doing with Daisy's cruiser?" Pauline marched right up to Wario.
"Oh, shiitake." Wario cursed. "Wah-t do you wah-nt?"
"Wario, you are hereby under arrest for property theft!" Pauline told the host.
"WAH!?"
"Did you really think that Daisy wouldn't let her friends know to look out for her cruiser?" Pauline glared at Wario.
"Kinda."
"Your luck has run out," Pauline gestured to her officers. "Boys, lock him up."
The officers gained on Wario, but the garlic muncher shoulderbashed his way through them, and ran away.
"Get back here, tubby," Pauline called out. "You're not getting out of this one!"
Doflamingo had reached the plaza of the New Donk City Hall, where it was apparent that he had lost Usopp. The ex warlord started rushing all over the place, tearing many walls apart. Citizens of New Donk were staring at this crazed man as he was losing it.
"Damn it, damn it, DAMN IT!" Doflamingo exclaimed. "Where is that pathetic sniper?"
"MINGO! MINGO! WAIT UP!" The cricket ran to Doffy, as the former caught his breath. "Aw man, looks like I made it in time. Who knows what you would've done to Pinocchio if I hadn't caught up."
"Ahem," Doflamingo heard Reuben clear his throat.
"What do you want, freak?" Doffy spat out through clenched teeth.
Reuben crossed his arms. "What do I want, huh. I'll tell ya, you're one o' the most rotten, most despicable, MOST EVIL people I have ever met."
Doflamingo scoffed. "So what if I am?"
"I'll tell you! You think you're all hot stuff, huh? Well you're none o' that! If I'm such a freak, then why do ya need my help?" Reuben asked. "Oh, wait, I know. Because without me, your sorry butt woulda been out AGES AGO!"
Doffy's veins started showing. "What….did you say?"
"Sheesh, all this work gone into trying to get ol' Waltie out. How much progress have we made?" Reuben went off. "That's right NONE! Because YOU'VE been too busy being all mysterious and abusing me! Ya make me miss Gantu, and that's sayin' something, pal!"
"I'll have you know," Doffy's veins were fully showing on his forehead as he clenched his teeth. "That I've been planning a strategy that such a feeble mind like yours could never hope to comprehend."
"Like, helping Walter get Ted out." Reuben & Doflamingo jerked their heads to see Marcie interject. "Wow, what an achievement. Not like Walter was already planning to get rid of him anyways."
"What…." Doflamingo spoke in shock. "WHAT!?"
Hot Dog Water then joined in on the confrontation. "Do you really think you can keep going on in the game like this? By antagonizing everyone and think that you won't be voted out? And that's not even getting into how bad of a guy you are. By the way, that feather coat is one of the ugliest things I've seen, and you should be locked up for your crimes against fashion."
"Gee, you talk big game about how powerful you are, but your worst enemy is a Pinocchio-nosed guy that doesn't have any stinking powers and he's not even the captain of his crew!" Reuben added.
Doflamingo was LIVID hearing such insolence. As soon as he was about to strike however, he heard Wario's voice in the distance.
"...so, wah-t, duck?" Wario was on the phone. "This whole show is a scam anyways. You don't need to make that-a-Flutter too beautiful. Wahahahahaha!"
Doflamingo paused before his blood boiled even more. "What…."
The words echoed in his mind.
"This whole show is a scam anyways…"
XX/XX/XXXX
"Wah, wah-t is this-a-creepy place?" Wario asked as he exited through a portal.
"Currently," The crystal answered. "We are in Impel Down. A place described quite literally as 'Hell on Earth'."
This was just a few months ago, as Wario had been traveling through multiple different universes as a way to advertise his show. He still hadn't gotten many contestants on at that point, and the crystal had taken the soon-to-be-host to a pretty dark, dreary prison that looked as if it were the bottom floor for a much more complicated one.
"Wah, how is-a-Wario gonna find contestants through here?"
"Well, these poor pirates would most likely jump at the chance for freedom." The crystal told Wario. "We just have to find the right one."
"And how am I supposed to know which one won't end in a lawsuit?" Wario picked his nose.
"Please, they would surely follow a contract if it meant this would be their ticket out of here."
"Did someone say 'freedom'?" A voice perked up.
Wario looked and saw a certain blonde pirate grinning at him.
Doflamingo had no idea what Wario meant, but if what he was saying was true, then could Wario be plotting to turn him right back in to Impel Down? Since this is all apparently a scam.
"Uhhhhh, calm down, Mingo," Not-Jiminy desperately pleaded. "Y-y-y-you don't wanna do anything you might regret….."
Doflamingo LUNGED towards Reuben as Marcie gasped. Doffy grabbed Reuben by the neck, slammed him down on the ground, and pulled a gun out. The ex-warlord proceeded to shoot Reuben.
BANG!
The sound caught a ton of peoples' attention, including Wario.
"WAH!? WAH-T ARE YOU-A-DOING?" Wario screamed. "YOU'RE GONNA MAKE ME FACE A LAWSUIT DOING-A-THA-"
Doffy then shot Reuben again. And again, and again, and again, and again.
BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG!
"STOP IT! STOP IT, NOW DOFFY!" Not-Jiminy screeched.
"LISTEN TO THE BUG, DOFLAMINGO!" Marcie yelled out.
"SHUT UP, TRAITOR!" Doflamingo laughed maniacally. "Wario, you poor poor fool. You have no clue just what you've signed up for.
"HEY! I'LL HAVE YOU KNOW, WARIO'S A FAMOUS TREASURE HUNTER!" Wario argued.
Doflamingo took the crystal out as Marcie & Wario both gasped.
"Were you looking for this?" Doffy cackled.
"WAH! HOW'D YOU GET-A-THAT!?" Wario exclaimed.
"WARIO! SAVE ME!" The crystal called.
"OHHHHHH, SO NOW THAT YOU'RE IN-A-TROUBLE," Wario rolled his eyes. "You wah-nt me to save you. Wah-t are you? Princess Peach?"
Doflamingo then web slinged his way to the top of the New Donk City Hall, as Marcie ran over to Reuben.
"REUBEN! ARE YOU OKAY!?" Marcie said in a very panicked tone.
"Y-yeah…" Reuben said weakly. "We experiments…..were made to be able….to handle these things…."
Marcie heard gasps from the citizens as she saw strings rain down, taking the shape of a bird cage.
"GAME SET!" The referee said, "And the winner is WALUIGI!"
"TAKE THAT! LOSER!" Waluigi sneered at Ima.
"I DEMAND a rematch!" Ima complained. "You clearly cheated, you weasel!"
"Oh, did I?" Waluigi grinned as he hid a banana peel behind his back.
"YES!" Judy celebrated as she turned over to Olivier. "Looks like you'll have to get Qwark's autograph, Armstrong."
Olivier sighed. "I must say, Waluigi impressed me with his skills."
Everyone then heard some noises being made. It sounded like, things being hammered into the ground.
"Huh, what are those noises?" Judy's ears perked up.
Everyone looked, and saw the same strings raining down.
"What's happening?" Trucy muttered. "Is there some kinda event?"
Trucy & Makoto noticed the skies were getting cloudier as the strings appeared.
"I don't think so…" Makoto's eyes widened. "Trucy, I have a bad feeling about this…"
"Hey, w-what's happening?" A New Donker's arms were moving against his will. "My arms…"
The guy was then sent flying over to some other destination.
"AAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHH! MAKE IT STOP! I-..." The New Donker screamed.
Trucy & Makoto gasped as they saw more New Donkers suddenly started attacking each other while moving like marionettes. Buildings were being blown up, and set on fire. People were getting fire flowers out and setting people on fire. Others were shooting people with bullet bills.
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Makoto: This doesn't make any sense! How can this be happening!? The city seemed pretty normal a while ago….this can't be some twisted challenge. Not even Wario would go this far.
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
"'KOTO, TAKE COVER!" Trucy yelled out.
Makoto turned around and someone was about to freeze her with an ice flower.
"N-NO, I CAN'T DO THIS TO A KID!" This person cried as they shot an ice ball at the phantom thief.
At the last minute, Trucy pulled out a long cane, and pulled Makoto away with it. Trucy grabbed Makoto by the arm and they both took cover in the sewers. The two caught their breath.
"Wow, that…was close," Trucy panted.
"You said it, Trucy." Makoto caught her breath too. "What's going on? One minute, everything's perfectly fine, and then the next…"
"I hope daddy's not watching right now," Trucy looked down. "He'd be worried sick."
"We will get out of this, Trucy." Makoto reassured her friend. "I may not know why everyone's gone berserk. But I'm sure others like Armstrong & Judy will figure this out."
Usopp slid out from the trash can he was hiding in, and he was greeted to an unpleasant sight as he saw the absolute wreck New Donk was at that moment.
Usopp turned around and saw the surrounding strings. "OH NO! NOT THE BIRD CAGE AGAIN!"
Usopp shook as he told himself. "Don't worry Usopp, you're just here…without Luffy or Zoro to take care of things…why do these things ALWAYS HAPPEN TO ME!"
The cricket looked down at the carnage that was happening and his jaw was dropped.
Doffy laughed. "Isn't this much more fun, bug?"
"AH," Not-Jiminy was speechless. "AHH! AHHHHHH! THIS IS HORRIBLE! Ugh….Your goals are horrible. Your powers are horrible. Your GLARE is horrible. YOU'RE HORRIBLE!"
The cricket pointed dramatically at the ex-warlord. "YOU'RE A VILE, HORRIBLE, IRREDEEMABLE MONSTER!"
Doffy laughed. "What took you so long, dumbass?"
Doflamingo flicked the cricket away as he laughed maniacally.
"MwhahahahahahaHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!"

Notes:
Hahaha! Got ya with that cliffhanger. This as gonna be one episode, but then I thought that this would be a good cliffhanger for this episode. Let's just say, next episode will be crazy. I was afraid I wasn't doing Doflamingo much justice, but here, I'm thinking he's going to show just how much of an absolute menace he is next episode. Another thing is that this episode was the first time I wrote notes down before writing the full episode as opposed to making it up as I go along. I thought that if I plan some scenes out, it would make things flow much better. There are still some scenes I made as I went along, but I hope this is a better method. I'm also worried about if I made some of Doffy's dialogue here like really try-hard. Anyways, catch you all next episode.
Chapter 12: Episode 11: Livin' in the City (Part 2)

(See the end of the chapter for notes.)
Chapter Text
Fire crackled all throughout New Donk City. Explosions could be heard, electrical sparks zapped through the city, random ice balls would freeze certain objects. All this happened while Doflamingo watched from high above, laughing at everything that was happening. The crystal, even with it being a very suspicious being, felt horrified at what it was watching.
"Isn't this wonderful, my precious gem?" Doflamingo asked.
"Absolutely not!" The crystal yelled back. "How could you do this!? Reigning chaos onto an unsuspecting kingdom all for your own twisted idea of 'fun'!?"
"Please, after everything this godforsaken universe has put me through," Doflamingo said spitefully. "I could do much worse to it!"
"I beg your pardon!"
"I tripped on a crack once," Doflamingo smiled menacingly. "The following result were my crew and I blowing the entire place to ash. That's all beside the point, however, with you in hand, I could not only regain control over Dressrosa…"
Doflamingo then grinned as he had a dark expression in his eyes. "I could take over the entire universe."
"As if I'd ever help you!" The crystal exclaimed, before Doffy then threw it against a wall, hard.
"YYYYYEEEEEOOOOOOOWWWWWWCH!"
"Run that by me, again," Doflamingo picked the crystal back up and sneered at it. "I am your master now, and right now, I'm ready to start with the real show."
Doffy then grabbed the crystal as it suddenly glowed. The crystal let out a yell as a portal was made. One by one, multiple…unique…characters walked out, such as a slimy guy wearing a blue jacket, an extremely swole guy with a golden helmet, a man dressed as a baby, a grinning man wearing an open cream colored shirt with red pants, a little girl, & an old guy in spandex.
"What the hell!?" The buff guy squeaked in an ear-grating voice. "How did we end up here?"
"I don't know, senor," The baby man answered. "One minute I am at Impel Down, the next, I'm standing right here."
"BAH HA HA!" The slimy guy then took notice of a familiar ex-warlord. "I knew you'd find us a way out, Doffy!"
"And here I thought I was a Goner, with a capital G!" The old man said as he made a 'g' sign with his hands.
"Tch, this isn't everyone, but it will have to do," Doflamingo grunted before saying. "Rise, my crew, for the Donquixote Pirates are back in business!"
"BAHAHAHAHA! You said it, Doffy," The slimy guy replied. "This city done anything to piss you off?"
"Oh, this entire show has pissed me off, Trebol, my dearest assistant." Doflamingo's veins started popping. "And this city will burn because of it! Maybe once I'm through with this city, I'll go for every last kingdom in this godforsaken universe."
The little girl looked at the chaos and said, "This pathetic city will make for nice toys, muahahahahahaha!"
"Fat chance I'll ever let you anywhere near the Mushroom Kingdom!" The crystal yelled out.
Doflamingo put his foot on the crystal as he asked. "And how will you stop me, rock?"
"..."
"That's what I thought," Doflamingo did his evil laugh before saying, "Trebol, Pica, you two are in charge of guarding this building, just in case that long-nosed straw hat and his pathetic friends try to stop me!"
"Hold on!" Pica squeaked. "You're saying the straw hats are here?"
"No, only one," Doflamingo corrected. "But it's the one I've been waiting to strangle since my arrest. Besides, with this crystal, they will get it, very soon."
"You'd better make that swordsman pay for insulting my voice!" Pica said vengefully.
Doffy grinned and licked his lips as he then fantasised. "With this new found power, I'll have Trafalgar & the Riku family all GROVELING before me! Lao G., Diamante, find everyone that's on this bounty board and kill them all."
"They will all be Gagged with a capital G!" Lao G. added as he and his partner both ran off.
"And Sugar," Doflamingo grinned, "Make me a new army of toys."
"Gladly!" Sugar said with glee.
As the crew split off, Doffy kicked back, until he saw a shine that seemed to be close by. The crystal noticed it too, and felt oddly, terrified, of what was to come. Doflamingo inched closer, and said shining object was right in front of the spire. This object was a root that was surrounded by a spinning wheel of golden bananas.
"Now where did this come from?" Doffy asked.
"You…must have summoned it from somewhere." The crystal replied. "I don't remember seeing this up here."
During Doflamigo's mania of opening portal after portal, he left one open in a random spot of New Donk City. It remained open, until eventually, a ceratin tie-wearing gorilla slowly walked out.
Usopp hid in some bushes shaking as he took a quick peek. Some random New Donker threw a hat that had spikes on the rim right at the sniper.
"EEK!" Usopp ducked immediately.
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Usopp: Oh God, oh god, oh god! Doflamingo's got the bird cage up again! I just wanna hide in this confessional island and forget all this is happening!
Daffy: That ain't happenin', bub! Get out!
Usopp: …No, I can't stay here. Everyone else is out there not knowing what the hell's going on. I can't abandon them, like that. …it's still just so scary though! I don't even know how we'll beat Doflamingo without Luffy…
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Upon returning to the city, Usopp stood up from the bushes, and right as more New Donkers not in control of their actions came towards him, he unleashed a Green Star: Bamboo Jave Grove at them. The bamboo organized itself in a way to keep them all in a cage.
"Man, the others have to be in some deep shit right now." Usopp said to himself before running to the city. "QWARK, MARICE, …ARMSTRONG, EVERYONE, WHERE ARE YOOOOOUUUUUUU?"
More bullet bills appeared right at the sniper, "AAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!"
"I'M SO SORRRYYYYYYYYYYY!" A random person said right before attempting to land a punch on Judy.
Judy quickly dodged out of the way, and kicked the guy.
"What's even going on, right now!?" Judy yelled in shock.
"I have no clue," Olivier defended herself from oncoming fireballs. "Our best bet as of now is to survive."
"WAAAAAHHHHHH! WALUIGI'S ARM HAS A MIND OF IT'S-A-OWN!" Waluigi then ran over and tried to wack Olivier with his tennis racket.
Olivier could have sworn she saw a string attached to Waluigi's arm before she chopped the racket in half with her sword.
"NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO, RACKEYYYYYYYYYYYY!" Waluigi sobbed.
"Ugh, why are things suddenly just crazy, here!?" Ima said with a huff.
"PEOPLE ARE DYING RIGHT NOW, AND YOU'RE ACTING AS IF THIS IS ALL AN ANNOYANCE!?" Judy exclaimed.
"What-ever!" Ima flipped her hair as she walked away. "Smell you losers, later!"
More New Donkers flung Bullet Bills, banana peels, blue shells, red shells, and bob-ombs at each other.
BOOOOOOOOOOOOM!
Olivier & Judy had to keep ducking and fending off all these projectiles. Waluigi suddenly went flying off to the distance.
"WWWWAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!"
"Hopps, I have a theory," Olivier told the rabbit as she deflected more fireballs. "Have you noticed how all these people are moving like puppets of some sort?"
"Now that you mention it…" Judy was busy kicking away some projectiles of her own. "I do see some resemblance…"
A person approached Olivier, with a dagger in hand. Olivier acted and swung her sword right above that person. The latter dropped down as they regained control.
"Th-thank you, stranger!"
"As I thought," Olivier turned over to Judy. "Hopps! Help me gather up as many of the people being controlled as possible. I'll make sure to restrain them all, so that they can't hurt anyone."
"Being controlled, what?" Judy asked in confusion.
"There is no time to explain!" Olivier said sharply before, "DUCK!"
Olivier tackled Judy as a bob-omb was thrown right at the tennis court. The tackle moved the duo out of the way just in time as it completely exploded.
"My lord," Judy gasped.
"It's lucky we made it out with our lives," Olivier closed her eyes as she crossed her arms.
"I'll try to get as many beserk people as possible," Judy told Armstrong. "I will not let you down."
Olivier smiled. "That's what I like to hear."
SpongeBob, Qwark, & Paul camped out behind the autograph stand.
"WE'RE GONNA DIE! WE'RE GONNA DIE!" Qwark screamed.
"Would you shut up!?" Paul yelled in annoyance. "We are NOT gonna die!"
Paul peeked out and saw a Shy Guy moving like a marionette as it watered a Piranha Plant. This Piranha Plant then turned giant, ate the Shy Guy, and roared at the odd trio.
"Hmph, this will be nothing," Paul pulled out a Pokeball. "MAGMORTAR, FIRE PUNCH!"
The Piranha Plant casually ate the Pokeball Paul threw.
"Well…" Paul then deadpanned. "We're gonna die…."
"AAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHH!" Qwark & SpongeBob screamed before suddenly, the Piranha Plant dropped dead and spat the Pokeball out.
Walter stood as he was holding a gun. "You're welcome, ungrateful kids."
"I had it handled." Paul rolled his eyes.
Marcie ran all over New Donk, carrying Reuben (who was still weak from getting shot so many times).
"Just hang in there, Reuben." Marcie said while out of breath.
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Hot Dog Water: Yeah, Wario, real great idea putting that guy in the show. We're really gonna be lucky if we make it out of this one alive. Daffy, if you can take us to these plothole islands, why don't you just get us out of here?
Daffy: Because the author wants you all to suffer.
Hot Dog Water: Author? Wait don-
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
"Damn it, Daffy," Marcie muttered as she was back carrying Reuben, tripping through all the explosions happening around her.
Judy ran past Marcie, before stopping on her tracks.
"Marcie? Is that you?" Judy perked up.
"Oh, Hopps," Marcie then told the officer. "Look, Reuben got shot up really badly, so I need to find someone who can fix him up."
"Gee, that does sound like an emergency." Judy said as she took a look at Reuben. "Unfortunately, I don't have time. I need to restrain more people before more are taken out."
"Excuse me?" Marcie raised an eyebrow. "You won't help out with Reuben's injuries?"
Judy's ears drooped. "Don't take it the wrong way, Marcie. I'll try to find a doctor as fast as I can."
"Alright," Marcie sighed as Judy ran off.
A man was about to throw a Bob-omb at a couple, who both held each other in fear. The man choked back a sob as he was about to throw the bomb, before Olivier came out and quickly tied the New Donker up.
"Th-thank you!" The New Donker said dramatically.
Oliver scanned the area some more to look for more people being puppeted. Suddenly, she felt a strong hit in the gut as she coughed up some blood. Olivier fell to the ground as none other than Diamante stood above her.
"Well, well," Diamante said mockingly. "If it isn't one of those 'Gold' rats. Doflamingo had just the nicest things to say about you lot."
Olivier slowly stood back up. "Wh-where did you come from?"
"Does it matter?" Diamante laughed. "I'm going to make you into a corpse soon enough."
"Is that so?" Olivier replied, before whipping her sword out.
Armstrong proceeded to clash swords with Diamante. Olivier attempted to stab the pirate, but Diamante shifted his body in such a strange way that he circled around the sword.
"What?" Olivier's eyebrows raised.
"Surprised? For you see, I've eaten the Ripple-Ripple Fruit." Diamante mocked the sergeant once again.
Olivier growled as she kept trying to swing her sword at Diamante, but the latter kept dodging by moving his body like cloth. Suddenly, the ground started rippling back and forth. Buildings were collapsing as a result, and many people fled from them.
"What the hell?" Olivier grumbled.
"I can even make anything I touch gain the malleable properties of cloth!" Diamante said again. "You should give up, girly, you have no chance of defeating me!"
While Diamante was monologuing, he felt a sharp pain in his leg. As if he had been stabbed there with 10 thumbtacks.
"AAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!" Diamante screamed. "WHAT THE FUCK, LADY!?"
Olivier had managed to pull out a firearm and shoot Diamante with perfect accuracy.
"YOU'RE DEAD MEAT!" Diamante made the ground shake even more as Olivier kept jumping and dodging things, with some objects still hitting her.
Olivier thought back to the time that the Wario Cruiser was attacked by pirates. She felt like she remembered something about Doflamingo being weak to water due to some type of fruit he ate. Armstrong's eyes shot open as she jumped up, and swung her sword so hard, it sent Diamante flying.
Diamante landed right a bathtub, after crashing into some random house. "WHAT THE-"
"Well, isn't this convenient?" Olivier stepped inside, battered and bruised. "Admittedly, I wasn't counting on a bathtub being around for me to drown you in, if I have the opportunity however."
"WHAT!?" Diamante screamed. "YOU WOULDN'T!"
Diamante took his sword out and struck Olivier with it in the shoulder.
"GRK!" Olivier gripped her shoulder as she kneeled down.
Diamante laughed. "You seriously thought it'd be that easy?"
Olivier glared at Diamante before harshly kicking him into the bathtub. As Diamante tried to get out, Olivier pinned his hand down with a sword. Diamante screamed, anticipating being drowned, but Olivier the took out another sword.
"Hmph, it's a good thing I brought a spare." Olivier cleaned the spare off with a handkerchief. "Don't move."
"Foolish woman," Diamante thought before he touched the sword on his arm, before immediately feeling weak. "Oh no! Is this….sea-prism stone!? Where the hell did she get this!?"
"WARIO!" Pauline stormed over to the host. "WHAT HAVE YOU DONE TO MY CITY!?"
"WAAAAAH?" Wario exclaimed. "WARIO DOESN'T KNOW WHAT'S-A-HAPPENING!"
"AS SOON AS YOU SHOWED UP, MY CITY HAS BEEN TURNED INTO A COMPLETE NIGHTMARE!" Pauline grabbed Wario by the shirt and started shaking him.
"Uhhhhhh," Wario started sweating before he had an idea.
Wario left his mouth wide open and breathed right on Pauline's face, causing the latter to drop him.
Pauline gagged at the garlic breath. "Now that's just gross! Get back here!"
Wario had run off at that point, and Pauline looked even more distressed at the destruction that was happening. It was soul crushing seeing the city she had worked so hard on for all these years become such a wreck. This all brought back unpleasant memories to her childhood. Pauline was taken out of her trance as she saw some…Mini-Mario toys walking around?
"Huh? Who left these here?" Pauline said in surprise as she looked at three Mini-Marios carrying some type of materials.
"Like my collection?" Sugar startled the mayor by creeping up behind her.
"Oh, little girl," Pauline crouched down in front of the kid as the latter ate some grapes. "Are you lost? How about you stay by me while I try to find your parents."
Sugar ate some more grapes as she replied with, "Sure, just hold my hand."
Pauline lightly grabbed on to Sugar's hand, before she was then turned into a Mini-Pauline toy.
"What!?" Pauline would've said that if she were able to talk.
"STUPID MAYOR!" Sugar laughed sadistically. "YOU FELL RIGHT INTO MY TRAP! NOW YOU'RE JUST ANOTHER SLAVE TO ADD TO THE PILE!"
"This can't be!" Pauline thought as she started moving against her own will. "No, no, NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO-"
Sugar had gathered up enough Minis to start work on Doflamingo's statue. The Minis were hammering away, and carrying over more materials as Sugar ate some more grapes.
Judy rushed through the streets of New Donk, looking for more people being controlled. She could've sworn she saw some weird looking wind-up toys walking around, but there wasn't enough time to really tell. Judy saw tons of New Donkers running away from other controlled citizens, as well as multiple people hiding. She caught the attention of some people, but they were too pre-occupied with running.
Suddenly, Judy felt a strong punch to the gut.
"I GOT YOU, WITH A CAPITAL G!" Lao G. appeared out of the blue.
"Urk, who are you?" Judy asked.
"I'm your worst nightmare, rabbit," Lao G. answered. "You and your pals will all pay for disrespecting Doffy!"
"I don't have time for this," Judy muttered as she kicked Lao G. back and ran off.
"GET BACK HERE!" Lao G. exclaimed.
Wario hid in a dumpster. "Wah, why was Wario hiding here again?"
Wario felt like he recalled someone was after him, but all of a sudden, he had no idea who. This was almost like some kind of power made him forget. Wario didn't care though, as he got out from the dumpster.
"Wah, whoever's doing this is-a-really gonna get a knuckle sandwich from-a-me!" Wario thought to himself.
Suddenly a giant projector screen appeared on the New Donk City Hall building, and every other screen, TV, and digital billboards turned on too. What could be seen was Doflamingo holding the crystal while smiling like a mad man.
"Welcome everyone, to this little game that I've created." Doflamingo announced.
"WAH!? IT WAS-A-HIM!?" Wario's face was now red as he clutched a fist.
"Oh, and Wario, I know you're out there." Doflamingo flaunted the crystal on screen. "And I'm sure you'd still want this piece of fine jewelry. Not that I need it anymore, I have something even greater…"
Doflamingo held up that same shining object that he'd found.
"But just to humor you, I'll allow you to scale up this building and face me for the crystal, if you can." Doflamingo gloated. "As for all of you pathetic civilians of the Metro Kingdom. I have another game for us to play."
Wario could hear a bunch of murmurs happen among the citizens of New Donk. It was clear that there was tons of panic going on.
"I need you to find ALL OF THESE WORMS ON THIS BOUNTY BOARD AND BRING THEM OVER TO THE PLAZA, DEAD OR ALIVE!"
The billboard showed every contestant still in, as well as SpongeBob, Dribble, & Spitz. Each of them had a number of stars on them as well, representing how much money one would get for capturing or killing each person.
2 Stars: SpongeBob, Dribble, Spitz, Penny
3 Stars: Waluigi, Judy, Qwark, Trucy
4 Stars: Olivier, Paul, Makoto
5 Stars: Walter, Reuben, Marcie
"Oh, and am I forgetting someone?" Doflamingo laughed as he then followed up with. "Oh, that's right, the one that has pissed me off the most. The one who I despise with a burning passion. The one who I'd so love to finally die a horrible gruesome death!"
10 STARS: USOPP!
"That's right LONG NOSE! You can't hide from me forever, you PATHETIC, WORTHLESS, IDIOTIC, WASTE OF HUMANITY!" Doflamingo's veins were popping. "Don't think any of you who have already been eliminated from this show are safe either. I'll track all of you down, and make sure you regret ever meeting me. After that, I know you Straw Hats are watching too, and I'll make all of you, and Trafalgar, and the Riku family wish you'd never crossed me…."
"Wah, wah-t a boring monologue." Wario picked his nose.
"And lastly…" Doflamingo clenched his fist as suddenly, the bird cage slowly started closing like an umbrella. "You have exactly an hour to do all of this, and if I don't see some bloodshed…you can say goodbye to your beloved city AND TO YOUR LIVES! MUAHAHAHAHAHAHA!"
"WAH!? LIVES!?" Wario exclaimed as multiple people started screaming and running like headless chickens.
"AAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!" Usopp screamed so loud when he saw his bounty on the board.
"THERE HE IS!" A New Donker pointed at Usopp with a whole angry mob with pitchforks and torches. "THERE'S THE GUY WITH THE 10 BILLION COIN BOUNTY!"
"EEK!" Usopp sweat bullets as he put some random glasses. "W-wait, y-you wouldn't kill a guy with glasses, right?"
"GET HIM!" The mob chased Usopp while the sniper screamed.
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Usopp: Just my luck, going from 5 stars to 10! Next thing you know, I'll be worth 100 stars to this guy….and I'm allergic to stars! If I'm gonna help out everyone else, I'd have to be in disguise. Huh, that's it! A disguise! Another great idea by the great captain himself! Hehehehe.
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
"GET THAT RABBIT GIRL!" Judy was being chased too, by a mob and by Lao G.
"I'LL STUFF YOU WITH A CAPITAL G!"
"That doesn't even make sense GRAMATICALLYYYYYYY!" Judy dodged a Bob-omb thrown at her just narrowly.
Judy ran some more, before hopping between two walls and landing on the roof.
"Phew, that should take care of things." Judy wiped off some sweat. "I wonder how Armstrong's doing right now."
Judy looked over as she covered her mouth. She could she the bird cage inching closer and closer. Buildings were being sliced into pieces as Hopps looked on.
Olivier hid behind a wall, as many New Donkers were rampaging through the streets in pursuit of the contestants.
"Damn it, this is complete madness." Olivier cursed under her breath.
"Pst, miss, psssssst." Olivier heard a voice.
Armstrong looked down, and saw Trucy peeking out of a manhole.
"You're Trucy, am I correct?" Armstrong asked.
"The one and only," Trucy winked before saying. "Quick, get down here."
"I refuse to run away if that's what you're asking." Olivier told the magician in a sharp tone.
"No, 'Koto & I are trying to think of a plan here."
"Hmm," Olivier put a finger to her chin as she still thought, "Hopps is still out there…"
Olivier thought some more before cursing once again. "Fine, I'll come down. But I won't slack off while all of this carnage is happening."
Walter had stolen a car, and he was not happy with certain people being inside.
"Get out, both of you!" Walter demanded.
"Look, Waltie, I know it's an honor to be the chauffeur of someone so famous," Qwark bragged. "But you don't have to humble yourself. I'm a passenger much like the rest of you."
"Yeah, Mr. White," SpongeBob added. "Qwark is a great superhero and all…not as great as Mermaid Man & Barnacle Boy though…but he's still so humble that you don't need to worry about being in his presence."
"Grrrr, damn cartoon characters." Walter wanted to slam his head against the steering wheel.
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Walter: Grrrrrr, seems like my plan to take over this game's gonna have to wait. All of you at home might think that an old man like me is dead in this psycho's temper tantrum, but you don't understand…I am the danger.
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Paul just glowered at the backseat, before sitting back, looking bored out of his mind.
"What are we even doing?" Paul spat out. "Are we seriously just gonna run around like a bunch of morons?"
"No, I have a plan." Walter told the trainer. "We're all gonna go up that big building and take that pink psycho out ourselves."
"Tch, what a waste of time." Paul said rudely.
"Oh, c'mon, Paul," SpongeBob argued. "I think it's a great plan."
"Shut up, cheesehead," Paul told SpongeBob off. "I have a better idea, I'll send Honchkrow to take care of that loser."
Suddenly, the car came to a screeching halt as a masked figure stood right in front of it. Walter frantically moved his hands as he rolled down a window and yelled at the figure. This masked man looked quite…familiar…for some reason.
"WOULD YOU GET OUTTA THE ROAD, YOU ASS?" Walter yelled.
"Halt! For I have come to help all of you," This masked man wore a yellow mask, blue goggles, a red cape, and some athletic tape.
"WOW! THAT GUY SOUNDS SO COOL!" SpongeBob gushed as Qwark's mouth went agape at that comment.
"Hold on a minute there, chum." Qwark got out of the car and walked up to the masked man. "Who do you think you are trying to save the day, huh?"
"I am none other than SNIPER KING!" Sogeking said dramatically as Japanese words appeared on screen as we then transitioned to a dramatic intro sequence for the aforementioned.
"Where did those Japanese words come from?" Walter asked.
An instrumental played as Sogeking jumped down on a mountain
Oh the wind carries my name
From Sniper Island
far away
It then cut to Sogeking hiding behind a rock as he shot his slingshot at some birds.
When I take aim its straight and true
Lu lu lala lu
Walter & Paul just looked at all of this with blank stares while Qwark looked very appalled.
Whether you're a man or a mouse
A mouse scurrying across the floor was shown next with a red aimpoint locking onto it
(you're gone)
I will put your heart in my sights
It then cut to a shot of Waluigi missing a tennis ball as an aimpoint appeared on his chest.
(AHHHHHHHHHH)
No one know what secrets hides behind this mask and my cape
Sogeking ran across a random beach as waves rose in the background.
Lu lu lu, lu lu la la
There is no escape!
The camera turned to the front as lightning boomed behind Sogeking and more waves were being made. Eventually the waves engulfed Sogeking.
SNIPER KING AIMS TRUUUUEEE!
Sogeking jumped out of the waves dramatically at first, then looked down and started panicking by flapping his arms. He then landed on his feet as he stared a the sunset while the song finished.
Of course, that was all just Sogeking's fantasy and instead there was an awkward silence as he sang.
"Oh when the wind carries my name, from Sniper Island far away."
"AWH, you think you're some REAL hot stuff ignoring me, huh!" Qwark huffed and crossed his arms. "Two can play at that game then."
Paul turned to Walter and said, "We both agree that's totally just Pinocchio wearing some stupid mask."
"Just humor him," Walter pinched the bridge of his nose.
"Don't worry citizens!" Sogeking announced to the quartet, "For I have a plan for how we can get to the top of that great tower!"
"Yes, that's all good, Sogeking," SpongeBob said calmly before getting right up to the sniper's personal space. "CAN I HAVE YOUR AUTOGRAPH! MAYBE YOU CAN SIGN MY PANTS? PLEASE!? PLEAAAAAASE!?"
"I gladly can, young man!" Sogeking spoke with dramatic gusto.
Sogeking wrote his name right on SpongeBob's tie as the latter looked at it.
"I'm never washing this tie again!" SpongeBob gushed.
"That's disgusting," Paul rolled his eyes.
"Ha! Only one autograph," Qwark stuck his chin up. "That's nothing compared to the hundreds of autographs I've given over the years. I'd like to see you try saving the galaxy multiple times, Mister…what was it…Sogeking!"
"I'm surrounded by idiots," Walter & Paul both said at the same time.
Waluigi hit a dead end as he was running, and behind him were tons of angry New Donkers about to pelt him green shells. The man in purple sweat bullets as he turned his pockets inside out looking for anything to fend off all those people. When all hope seemed lost however…
"HIIIII-YAAAAA!" Out of the blue, Ima Nathlete helicopter kicked her way through.
"Wah-t the-!?" Waluigi scratch his head.
Those people were all knocked out as Ima stood in front of Waluigi.
"Now, we're even, string cheese."
"Hey, wait just a second!" Waluigi got up and confronted Ima. "You were being so rude to Waluigi earlier, and now you're-a-helping him?"
"D-don't think too hard about it, alright?" Ima turned her back to him.
"And you also know Waluigi's game…"
"So what? I saw it in the store once."
"It was on the 64, chump! It's not in stores anymore!"
"FINE I ADMIT IT!" Ima turned around. "I'M YOUR FAN, WALUIGI!"
"WAH!?" Waluigi yelled out in shock.
"You inspired me to start playing tennis in the first place, with some extra attitude too," Ima smirked. "Don't tell anyone about this, otherwise I'll sock you!"
"Some fan you are…" Waluigi deadpanned. "I can't-a-believe I have fans…"
Waluigi could then see the cage was getting closer and destroying more buildings.
"WAH! RUUUUUUUUUN!"
"Huh? Oh fungus!" Ima ran too.
Olivier, Trucy, & Makoto stood at a table that Trucy had somehow pulled out of hammerspace.
Olivier rested both of her hands on the table as she remarked, "And just how do you think your invisibility cloak is going to get us anywhere?"
"So rude," Trucy pouted. "My invisibility cloak is so illusional, that it's just like there's nothing walking underneath it."
"I'll believe it when I see it," Olivier deadpanned. "As a back-up plan, I'll fend off the angry mob while the two of you bolt for the building."
"Sounds like a plan to me," Makoto said.
"Sounds neat and all," Trucy put a finger to her lower lip. "But my cloak should do just fine."
Trucy then pulled the cloak out dramatically and completely covered her and the others up. Amazingly, it looked exactly like no one was there.
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Olivier: I'm still skeptical of Wright's plan mind you, but I'll give her the benefit of the doubt, we do look invisible here. It's impressive how she's able to pull off stunts like that.
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Penny flew through the air using her Jet Tank One to spray water. The angry mob chased her from below as she trembled.
"How's Wario gonna get past this?" Penny asked herself. "There's so much property damage and potential deaths that Doflamingo is responsible for…"
Suddenly, the tank ran out of water, "Oh no!"
Penny then fell right in front of Marcie, who was still carrying Reuben.
"WHAT THE!? Penny, where did you come from!?" Marcie then shook it off. "This whole show has been one trainwreck after another, huh. You okay?"
Penny's eyes were swirls. "Yeah, just fine…"
"GUYS, THE CAAAAAGE!" SpongeBob exclaimed as the cage inched closer and closer.
Qwark, Paul, Walter, & Uso…I mean Sogeking, who is definitely not Usopp, were all running too. It was not easy with many New Donkers pushing and shoving against them in utter panic.
SpongeBob tripped and the cage got closer. Qwark called out, "SPONGE BOY!"
"LEAVE WITHOUT ME, GUYS," SpongeBob yelled dramatically. "I HEREBY SACRIFICE MY LIFE FOR ALL OF YOU!"
"Just get up," Paul clenched his fist in annoyance as the cage got closer.
"I'm going on ahead," Walter huffed as he went without everyone else.
"SpongeBob, you can't die on me," Sogeking cried manly tears, because he is Sogeking.
"Get. Up. You still have time," Paul was getting impatient with SpongeBob's bs.
"AAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHH!" SpongeBob screamed as the cage sliced him in three halves.
"SPONGEBOY, NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!" Qwark & Sogeking said in unison…
…
…
…
…
…
…before SpongeBob's parts reformed into one.
"Ohhhhhhhh, that's right, I'm a sponge!" SpongeBob laughed.
"Are you kidding me?" Paul finally just decided to run without the three dumbasses.
"Wait what?" Sogeking blanked out before shaking his head. "I mean…now young sponge, how about you find us some help? I'm sure someone out there can help us with our predicament."
"Aye aye, Sogeking!" SpongeBob saluted.
"No no no no," Qwark shoved Sogeking aside and said, "I'll give the orders here, and I say to go find some help while I handle everything."
"Er, aye aye, captain?" SpongeBob saluted in confusion before going off.
Meanwhile, at the front of the New Donk City Hall building, was Walter & Paul. Sogeking (who is positively not Usopp btw) & Qwark caught up, while out of breath.
"What a waste of time," Paul took his Pokeball out. "HONCHKROW, ATTACK THAT PSYCHOPATH, AND LET ALL THIS BE DONE!"
"HONCHKROW!"
As Honchkrow flew up, Walter told his alliance member, "You aren't thinking straight, are you?"
"What are you talking about?" Paul asked aggressively. "I know what I'm doing!"
Honchkrow came tumbling down, battered and bruised with swirls for eyes.
"Hoooooooooncccccccchhhhhhhh."
Paul's eyebrows raised in shock as to how quick that was, before silently returning Honchkrow to its pokeball.
Out of the blue, Olivier, Makoto, & Trucy popped in.
"ACK!" Sogeking jumped before clearing his throat. "Greetings young maidens! I believe we haven't been introduced yet."
"...Long nose….I know that's you," Olivier said coldly.
"And where did you come from?" Walter asked.
"I cannot believe Wright's idea worked." Olivier let out in genuine shock.
"I told ya so," Trucy, putting her hands on her hips, told Armstrong. "But you just didn't wanna listen, did you?"
Makoto chuckled a little. "You are definitely a master of your craft."
"Ladies, ladies," Qwark put his hand on Olivier's shoulder as he then asked. "Surely, none of you are falling for that utter fraud Sogeking."
"Are you serious?" Olivier slapped her forehead. "You mean to tell me, you don't notice anything even mildly familiar about that masked man?"
"Guys, we don't have to fight…" SpongeBob interjected before noticing, "AAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHH, THE-THE-THE…"
"WHAT IS IT, SPONGE KID?" Walter blew up before noticing the cage was getting even closer.
"EVERYONE! INSIDE THE HALL, NOW!" Olivier exclaimed.
The ground underneath the group shook, as Pica came out in his giant stone form.
"PICA PICA PIIIIIIII!"
"WHAT THE!?" Paul exclaimed. "WHY DOES THAT THING SOUND LIKE A PIKACHU!?"
"AAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHH!" Sogeking & Qwark screamed while hugging before looking at each other. Qwark dropped Sogeking immediately afterwards.
"NONE OF YOU ARE ENTERING THAT BUILDING!" Pica announced in his shrieky voice.
"Shut up, your voice is hurting my ears!" Olivier sassed.
"WHAT WAS THAT ABOUT MY VOICE!?" Pica slammed his fist onto the ground causing an earthquake.
"THE REST OF YOU, GO ON AHEAD," Olivier turned over to Pica. "I'll take care of squeaky."
"ARMSTRONG, ZORO STRUGGLED AGAINST THIS BEAST, AND YOU THINK YOU CAN TAKE HIM ON!?" Sogeking exclaimed before getting a glare from the sergeant. "Er…as my friend Usopp told me, of course."
"I can handle myself, NOW MOVE!"
"Just do what the boss lady says, 'kay." Trucy shrugged. "I mean, that's what an Ace Sniper would do, right?"
"OH NO YOU ALL DON'T!" Pica turned to try to smash everyone trying to enter the tall building, before Oliver sliced across him with a sword.
"AAAAAAHHHHHHH!"
"I'm your opponent," Olivier said sharply. "Do your worst."
"You've pissed me off now," Pica replied as he moved his fist towards Armstrong.
Dribble & Spitz remained behind some rubble, as Penny was looking after Reuben. Marcie sat down too.
"Is he gonna be okay?" Marcie asked.
"I think so, he seems pretty sturdy." Penny told the girl. "Unfortunately, he's going to need some urgent care after all this is over."
"Sheesh, ya go to the city, and this is what happens." Spitz complained. "Guess that's what happens when ya don't even have a mayor."
It seemed weird in Penny's mind that New Donk City apparently had no leader. She could've sworn she heard about one at one point, but that was beside Penny's problems right now.
Waluigi hid behind some bushes as he watched Olivier's fight with Pica.
"Wah, so those-a-chumps think they can be the big heroes, huh." Waluigi rubbed his hands together. "Waluigi will get to pinky and defeat him all by himself and be the big hero! Wahahahahaha!"
As he schemed, he thought back to finding out Ima's a fan and sighed. "Waluigi…really does have fans out there…"
"WAH! I'M-A-NOT GONNA DO THIS-A-SAPPY TALK!" Waluigi slapped himself out of that trance. "I've got business to attend to."
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Waluigi: Also, that-a-fake Sogeking guy is totally that long nosed loser! Nobody could match that same lack of charisma. Wahahahahaha, he's-a-too ashamed to even show his face around here. How about he just put a paper bag on his head at this point? WAHAHAHAHAHAHA! Duck, WAH-T ARE YOU-A-DOING DRINKING OUT OF YOUR COCONUT WHILE WE'RE ALL RISKING OUR LIVES OUT THERE!?
Daffy sat on a beach chair outside the confessional on the random island, drinking out of a coconut, wearing sunglasses.
Daffy: Pardon me? *siiiiiiiiiiiiip*
Waluigi: DON'T YOU IGNORE ME, AND DON'T-A-
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Sogeking, Qwark, Trucy, Makoto, Walter, & Paul got in the New Donk City Hall building just in time. Another quake was felt as the group of six felt the pushback.
"Well," Makoto broke the silence, "What's the plan?"
"We go up this tower and beat the snot out of Doffy." Walter told her bluntly.
"That…is certainly…a plan…." Makoto sighed.
"Yeah? Well you try to think of something, Little Miss Perfect." Walter remarked.
Makoto raised her finger, but couldn't think of anything.
"Thought so." Walter replied.
"Guys, we don't have time to be arguing, alright." Trucy rolled her eyes. "That cage will kill us all in who knows how many minutes."
"I can't believe I'm saying this but the magician's right." Paul backed her up. "Focus, people."
The group all went up multiple floors as fast as they could. Walter was barely able to keep up with everyone else. Some conversation was made on the way, as the group went up a file of stairs, Trucy smirked.
"So, Sogeking, where exactly is Sniper Island?" Trucy asked.
"Ohhhhh, that is a spicy question." Qwark added with glee. "Tell us, oh great Sogeking, where is your fantasy land?"
"Oh when the wind carries my name," Sogeking sang before he whispered. "It's in…your heart!"
"Good Arceus," Paul gagged at the corniness as Trucy snickered.
"Please, I'm the one that's supposed to be in people's hearts here," Qwark told the sniper off.
It wasn't until they got up to a middle floor that they ran into another one of Doflamingo's goons. It was Senor Pink, surrounded by a bunch of cheerleaders.
"Oh, he's so hard-boiled!" The cheerleaders said in unison.
"I know, I know, ladies." Pink bragged. "Find someone younger than me, I'm too old."
"Ooooooh-kay," Makoto said awkwardly.
"What kinda fetish is this!?" Walter bluntly asked.
"I never would have thought the likes of you would make it this far." Pink mocked the group. "But this will be the end of the road."
"Please, as if a diaper fetishist like you could be anything to write home about." Qwark scoffed.
Pink then dived into the floor as if it were water.
Trucy wondered, "Now what kinda magic trick is that?"
"That's no magic trick, madame," Sogeking said with his usual gusto but with a hint of nervousness.
Pink jumped out and headbutted Qwark really hard. Qwark crashed into a wall, as most of the group turned their heads.
"You're a tough cookie aren't you?" Qwark got up, barely even scathed. "Let's see how you'll handle a good ol' Qwark punch."
"I'd like to see you try, spandex boy." Senor Pink replied mockingly.
"I'm going on ahead," Paul told everyone else.
"Don't you leave without me, you little brat." Walter ran towards the trainer.
"All of you go on without me," Qwark told Sogeking, Trucy, & Makoto. "I've got some business to settle with this quite literal manbaby."
Qwark then got up close to Sogeking. "But don't you take all the glory, you narcissist. Got it?"
"I hear you loud and clear, young one!" Sogeking was barely phased.
"Who are you calling young?" Qwark attempted to argue before Pink headbutted Qwark again.
Qwark gagged as he crashed into another wall.
"Welp, see ya later, Qwark! Byyyyyyyeeeeee!" Trucy waved with a smile on her face.
"I'VE CHANGED MY MIND! HELP ME!" Qwark yelled before everyone else besides Pink & his cheerleaders were gone. "Me & my big mouth."
"Doflamingo's got tons of rotten banana zombies on the next floor," Pink gloated. "Your friends will be dead in no time."
Olivier jumped back, as Pica slammed his fist down. She jumped onto his arm and started shooting at the rock monster.
"PICA PIIIII!"
Olivier kept slashing at the pirate, while in the background, Waluigi could be seen blasting off to the top of New Donk City Hall. Olivvier jumped, and shot at Pica multiple times too.
"Are you kidding me!?" Walter blurted when he saw a ton of zombies made entirely out of banana rot.
The floor itself was covered in banana rot, and it definitely smelled like it.
"My god, this floor smells terrible." Makoto flinched.
"Er…a-a-are…those z-z-zombies!?" Sogeking stuttered.
The banana zombies groaned as they all approached the quintet.
"No, those are ordinary people," Paul snarked. "OF COURSE THEY'RE ZOMBIES!"
"AAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHH!" Sogeking screamed which made the other 4 cover their ears.
"You done yet? I'm too old for this shit, you know." Walter told the sniper.
"Whatever. MAGMORTAR, FLAMETHROWER!" Paul sent Magmortar out to burn the zombies down.
The zombies had melted, leaving the quintet able to move on.
"That seemed almost too easy," Trucy narrowed an eyebrow.
"Now, now, maiden," Sogeking sweated slightly. "Let us not jinx things here."
It was too late as the zombies then reformed back to normal and started pursuing everyone again.
"OH YOU'VE GOTTA BE KIDDING ME!" Sogeking yelled out.
Makoto sighed, "I wish I could just be more helpful here."
"Need me to deal with these freaks, again?" Paul glowered at Makoto. "Since some of us are too useless to deal with this."
"...run that by me again." Makoto glared at Paul.
"You heard me," Paul made his scathing remarks. "You may be a wannabe detective, but right now, you're useless."
"Now those are fighting words, asshole." Makoto bit back.
"I'm out, see you on the next floor," Walter went on ahead.
"Guys, can we not fight right now?" Trucy got in between Paul & Makoto.
"Looks like it's up to me," Sogeking thought. "SPECIAL ATTACK: FIRE STAR!"
The banana rot zombies were once again lit on fire as Sogeking grabbed Trucy & Makoto by the hands.
"NOW LET'S BOOK IT!"
"I'M NOT DONE YET!" Makoto attempted to run towards Paul. "LET ME AT THIS GUY!"
"CALM DOWN, 'KOTO!" Trucy called out. "We really don't have time for this!"
Trucy turned out to be right, as Dribble, Spitz, Penny, Marcie, & Reuben were all under attack by various New Donkers. This crowd jumped right on top of the group and tied their hands behind their backs.
"JUST LISTEN TO US!" Marcie yelled aggressively. "OUR FRIEND IS HURT REAL BADLY!"
"YEAH! SOME OF OUR FRIENDS WILL TAKE CARE OF THAT JERK!" Penny argued.
"Shut up!" A random New Donker rudely cut in. "Everything here went to crud as soon as you lot showed up here. If anyone's being sacrificed, might as well be all of you."
"WHEN I GET OUTTA THESE RESTRAINTS, I'LL MAKE SURE YOU ALL REGRET IT!" Spitz growled.
More people walked in and started carrying their hostages. Penny & Marcie attempted to squirm out of the mob's grasp, but to no avail. Dribble & Spitz were both being dragged by the legs as they both shared an annoyed expression.
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Penny: This is bad, really, really, bad. I don't know what we can do about this. …maybe if I…no that's crazy. It's just crazy enough to work though. I don't have anything to lose atv this point.

Sugar sat on a throne as she was being pampered by all of the Minis she had made. They were feeding her grapes, massaging her back, fluffing her pillows, all the like.
"It feels so good to be back in business!" Sugar laughed. "Doffy better not screw all this up again! I could live like this forever."
"Let us out!"
"This is torture!"
"I miss my husband!"
As Pauline was forced to march along, thoughts flooded her mind. Seeing all of her people running away in sheer panic while she was powerless to do anything felt like a living nightmare. The mayor was ready to call it quits, until she had heard a voice.
"TREBOL!" Sugar hollered. "Would you stop breathing down my neck."
Pauline had already been facing forward from moving against her will, and she couldn't believe what she saw. It couldn't be him, how could it be him? The one Pauline was looking at was that same gorilla from before, as the latter's eyes widened seeing her. There was no mistaking it, this ape was Donkey Kong.
Sugar looked between the two and her eye twitched. "W-what!? Y-you…YOU SHOULDN'T BE ABLE TO REMEMBER THIS WENCH YOU SMELLY APE!"
Donkey Kong's eyebrows furrowed as he then said, "Look, li'l kid." Hearing DK talk took Sugar by surprise as the former then followed up with, "I dunno how I got here, or why you'd think I'd forget my pal Pauline, but if that toy is her…" DK cracked his knuckles as Sugar was sweating profusely.
"OH NO, YOU DON'T!" Sugar then reached out her hand in an attempt to transform DK, but the latter grabbed her by the legs just in time.
"BANANA SLAMMA!" Donkey Kong slammed Sugar right onto the ground, and then slammed her again on the opposite side. He did it repeatedly until Sugar was a complete battered mess. Once Sugar was very weak, DK said, "This is what happens when you mess with my friends, kid."
After that whole massacre, the toys all glowed until they were all turned back into people. Pauline felt her face and looked at her arms as it felt strange having free will again. The mayor ran up and hugged DK.
"DK! How did you get here?"
"I dunno, some portal opened up and it brought me here." DK answered.
Sugar coughed. "This…this is impossible! How did you remember that mayor!? My powers should have erased all of those memories."
Pauline thought about it before she then said. "Maybe…that only works in your universe, but in our's, as long as DK & I's bond is strong enough, it can overpower your disturbing superpower."
"Grrrrrrr…you….you…." Sugar was interrupted as DK punched her one more time.
Qwark & Pink both got into fighting stances as they punched each other repeatedly. After getting hit twice, Pink hopped into the ground again and headbutted Qwark some more.
Eventually, Qwark felt himself get dizzy.
"See, I'm much too macho for you to defeat." Pink bragged as Qwark fell over.
"Nooooo, Courtney Gears….you can kiss me all you waaaaaaant." Qwark then spun around and backwards slapped Pink across the face.
Pink wiped the blood off from under his nose and jumped on top of Qwark. The former pulled on Qwark's leg, making the green-spandex'd man yelp. Qwark took out his blaster and shot Pink with it. This made Pink fall straight into the floor.
"Noooooo! Pinkie!" Pink's cheerleaders cried.
"I'm alright ladies," Pink's head rose from the floor again.
"Ready to throw in the towel, yet, Pinkie?" Qwark mocked. "You may have a whole squad of cheerleaders, but at least I was engaged at one point, unlike you."
"A girlfriend? I once had a wife," Pink then said. "Let me stop and tell you my tragic backstory."
Right as Pink breathed in, Qwark quickly punched the manbaby in the face.
"I DON'T CAAAAAAAAAAAAARE!"
A tooth from Pink fell out as he fell straight down from that floor.
"Y-you…" Pink said weakly. "You sly rat…you got me monologuing….bleh."
"Gets 'em everytime!" Qwark said to the camera.
Pink's cheerleaders stared awkwardly as Qwark flexed.
"You can fawn over me now, ladies."
"Ew, no." A fangirl said.
"Well, everyone's free to have bad taste." Qwark remarked before the ground shook some more.
Some rare hints of concern hit Qwark's face as he dashed over to catch up.
"E gads, what could those rookies be up to?"
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Qwark: I swear, you can't leave those anklebiters alone for five minutes without moi. Guess it's all up to me to fix whatever problem they've got, cuz between you and me, that Sogeking guy is not up to the task.

The sky was getting darker as the bird cage was very close to closing now. Panic in New Donk settled more as people desperately ran from the cage, hoping to survive. Walter made it up to the roof where Doflamingo admired some kind of root. Eventually, Waluigi landed right in between the two as well. The ex-warlord of the sea turned around once Sogeking, Trucy, Makoto, & Paul showed up.
"Waluigi!? How'd you get up here!?" Trucy asked in shock.
Waluigi got up after having a harsh landing. "Waluigi has his-a-ways. Now move aside, I'M GONNA BE THE HERO OF THIS-A-DAY!"
"Ah, so you lot have survived then." Doflamingo said menacingly.
"D-d-DOFLAMINGO!" Sogeking slammed his slingshot down as he said. "HALT THIS MADNESS IMMEDIATELY! LESS YOU REGRET IT!"
"Ohohoh, did the coward put on his big boy pants today?" Doflamingo mocked the sniper.
"He's right, you know," Makoto glared at Mingo. "Do you really want to face all of us? I'd suggest you let go of that cage while you're ahead."
To Makoto's surprise, Doflamingo did as she said and got rid of the cage.
"Wow, that sure was easy." Trucy said. "Just what is your game, Big D?"
"HahahahahahahaHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!" Doflamingo laughed maniacally.
"Yep, this guy's gone insane." Walter huffed. "Batshit, I'd say."
"Don't any of you think that the young lady is responsible for this," Doflamingo pulled out that same root he found.
"What is that?" Paul asked aggressively.
"This is called a 'Banandium Root'," Doflamingo twirled it around in his hand. "An item that can give all sorts of power. I don't even need that crystal anymore…"
"WHAT!?" Sogeking blurted.
"You brats, idiots, dumbasses, and that godforsaken hosts have all been quite the thorn in my side." Doflamingo popped a vein. "However, I would like to commend the lot of you."
"Commend us?" Trucy furrowed her eyebrows as she huffed. "You nearly killed us all you creep!"
Doflamingo sneered at the magician. "This is because all of this will be a dawn of a new world…no…A NEW UNIVERSE that marches to the beat of my drum. One where only true pirates will survive, and I don't mean pathetic WEAKLINGS like a certain other pirate here. All of this made possible with this thing."
The other contestants looked, jaws agape, as Doflamingo held the root up in the sky.
"This thing's dancing to my tune, and when it comes to strings…"
Doflamingo glared at the group, "I rule."
A blinding flash of light appeared as the others covered their eyes. Uncovering their eyes stood Doflamingo, but not in the form he was usually in. Doflamingo was now taller, and his feather coat was now a golden yellow and was much bigger as a huge amount of feathers were coming out of Doffy's back, and significantly more spiky, his sunglasses were sharper and were now black, the hair was longer and resembled a batch of bananas. Doffy gained a big wrestler belt that was black and gold with the Donquixote Pirates' jolly roger on it. Lastly, there was a golden aura surrounding Doflamingo while he was in his new form, and he had an even more deranged look in his eyes. This was not only Donquixote Doflamingo anymore, but…
Donquixote Doflamingo, King of Strings
Sogeking's jaw was agape seeing Doflamingo like this, and so were Walter & Waluigi's. Trucy's hand was over her mouth as she was shaking slightly. Makoto took on a judo stance as she clenched her teeth, and while Paul's expression didn't change, he had a slightly tighter grip on his pokeball.
"HahahahahahHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!" Doflamingo laughed maniacally. "This power is coursing right through me!
Walter stammered as he scrambled to grab his gun. As Walter did, he shot Doffy, but the bullet bounced right off the ex-warlord of the sea.
"WHAT THE FUCK!?"
"You think regular bullets can take me out at this point?" Doflamingo mocked.
Sogeking shook before he stood his ground and tried firing his slingshot, before he could, Doflamingo shot a ton of strings out that were covered in rot. These strings were extremely fast and much thicker, as Sogeking ducked right in the nick of time before those strings could've instantly killed him. After that shot, the rot dropped on the floor.
"Ewww," Trucy said in disgust.
Doflamingo then used his haki to make extra strong strings that shot at everyone on the building. All the group could do was run. Waluigi jumped behind a wall as this onslaught happened. Walter tripped as as Doflamingo used his devil fruit to transform the Spire into an onslaught of rotted strings and struck Walter with them.
"GAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHH!" This sent Walter flying, before Trucy grabbed onto him.
"AHAHAHAHAHA! NONE OF YOU CAN DEFEAT ME NOW!" Doflamingo snapped his fingers as the rot on the floor started boiling, setting Sogeking's ass on fire.
"AAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHH!"
"SOGEKING!" Trucy yelled out while hanging on to Walter.
"Kid, why do you bother saving me?" Walter asked.
"As if I'll just let someone die!" Trucy puffed her cheeks.
Doflamingo then summoned multiple vortexes to pull foggy purple strings out of as he used his haki to harden them. Those strings flew at a breakneck speed, leaving rot all over the ground that no one could step on. Makoto & Paul kept jumping out of the way as Makoto just felt helpless. Paul on the other hand took out a Pokeball.
"I'd say this has gone long enough," Paul growled. "ELECTIVIRE, THUNDER PUNCH!"
Electivire appeared and punched Doflamingo's head clean off.
"Is it…over?" Makoto asked, before another Doflamingo appeared.
There was another, and another, and another, and you get the picture.
"WHAT THE!?"
The Doflamingos laughed as they all took shots at Paul through scratches and punches. Makoto froze as this display happened. Paul lied on the ground as Doflamingo's clones disappeared and he kicked the trainer.
"Pathetic," Doflamingo said before looking down. "Looks as if I've got some captives waiting for me."
"Get back here, you!" Sogeking yelled as the King of Strings jumped down.
"What am I supposed to do here…" Makoto said to herself, before she had a weird feeling. "What is this feeling anyways. Ever since that Banandium Root came in, I'm feeling…invigorated."
Trucy finally pulled Walter back up.
Waluigi was still hiding before he said, "Wah! Wah-t is Waluigi doing? He's supposed to be the hero here! WAH!"
Dribble, Spitz, Penny, Marcie, & Reuben were all brought to the plaza as Doflamingo jumped down.
"Well, well, well," Doflamingo inched closer to Marcie. "If it isn't the filthy traitor herself."
"Go to Hell," Marcie glared at him. "What are you even wearing anyways?"
"Like the outfit?" Doflamingo sneered. "It's my symbol of a new era."
"A-a-a new era!?" Penny sweat profusely.
"I already explained this to the last sorry group," Doflamingo then said. "All you need to know is that this universe will now belong to us pirates."
"Not if I have anything to say about it," Everyone turned their heads towards Olivier, who had some bruises on her.
"Armstrong?" Marcie raised her voice. "Where have you been?"
"That's none of your concern," Olivier sliced all of the ropes off.
Spitz looked at his paws before saying, "I'm bookin' it! See ya mooks later!"
"Hey, Spitz, come back!" Dribble chased after the cat.
Reuben slowly stood up, "What a bunch o' maroons."
"Reuben?" Marcie raised an eyebrow.
"Reuben! You're still in bad condition!" Penny told the experiment.
"Nah, this is personal," Reuben stepped forward to Doflamingo. "I don't care what kinda coat you're wearin' now. I wanna settle the score."
"How foolish of you," Doflamingo replied.
"Reuben! This is stupid!" Marcie yelled out.
Olivier spoke up. "Reuben, this is very foolish of you to do. But if you want to settle your score, be my guest."
"Armstrong, what are you saying?" Marcie exclaimed.
"In the army," Olivier said to Hot Dog Water. "You will have to let people fight their own battles, sometimes."
Doflamingo shot multiple string balls at Reuben, who hit them back while dodging. Doflamingo then transformed more buildings to Cosmic Strings as they went all over the place chaotically. Olivier kept watch as she grit her teeth some more. Reuben ran around Doffy, until he got onto the ex-warlord's face. Doffy stumbled as he snapped his fingers, and made sharp tipped cosmic strings appear out of nowhere and pierce through Reuben's back. Right before they could fully pierce though, Olivier jumped in and slashed Doflamingo with her sword.
Olivier huffed. "But, I will not stand by and watch someone die!"
Doflamingo smirked as he then coated his large coat in haki. He then spun and shot more string rot out of the coat. The rot all spun around as it wrecked more buildings. Olivier kept dodging out of the way, as all she could do was deflect everything with her sword. Penny was able to pull out her Jet Tank One and shoot Doffy with some water. Doflamingo snapped his fingers and evaporated the water instantly. He grabbed an already weakened Reuben by the neck, and threw him straight through multiple buildings.
"REUBEEEEEEEEN!" Penny exclaimed.
Hot Dog Water gasped before Olivier stabbed Doflamingo with her sword. Doflamingo cackled as the sword became engulfed with rot. Olivier tried to pull it out, before just kicking Doflamingo. Right before the ex-warlord was about to attack back, he felt a tennis ball hit him in the back of the head.
"Look over here, loser!" Doffy turned around and saw Waluigi holding a tennis racket.
"And what do you think you're doing?" Doflamingo marched up to Waluigi.
"Wah, Waluigi's finally gonna get the respect he deserves," Waluigi jabbed a finger at the man towering above him. "That's-a-wah-t."
"Bold of you to say," Doflamingo scratched right at the purple man as golden string encased in haki came out of the former's fingers.
One scratch was able to send Waluigi flying into a wall as he gagged up some blood. Waluigi stood up.
"Is that the best you got?" Waluigi threw some Bob-ombs at the ex-warlord, who kept deflecting them.
Olivier jumped in again and clashed sword to string with Doffy.
"Never thought I'd team up with the ice queen," Waluigi said out loud. "Eh, she can be a sidekick."
"I can hear you, scrawny." Olivier yelled while fighting off Doffy.
"I've had enough." Doflamingo turned a big ass building into a bunch of strings.
The strings were then encased in haki as Doffy sent them all raining down, while shooting rot straight at Olivier & Waluigi. The rot burnt both of them slightly.
"WHAHAHAHAHA!" Waluigi yelped.
"DAMN!" Olivier grabbed her knee.
The strings rained down all at once right before Penny was able to pull out a device that served as an umbrella for her and the others. Right as soon as Penny closed the umbrella.
"PENNY, THERE'S-" Hot Dog Water yelled before she, Penny, Olivier, & Waluigi were completely bombarded with the haki covered strings.
Doflamingo laughed as he kicked Olivier while she was down.
Sogeking, Walter, Trucy, & Makoto watched all of this.
"Wh-what are we gonna do?" Trucy looked down.
"Trucy, this is rare," Makoto said in concern seeing Trucy so distraught.
"I can't think of anything we can do." Trucy gripped her cape. "Doflamingo seems so unstoppable."
Sogeking remained silent as he thought in his head, "Think, Usopp, think! Doffy may be super powerful and stuff right now, but this can't be the end. What would Luffy do if he were here right now?"
"Tell us, oh great Sogeking." Walter asked sarcastically. "What can we, an old man and two teenage girls do?"
"I admit…" Usopp lifted his mask as his hands shook. "I'm scared shitless right now. I just didn't want you all to suffer through this maniac's mass murder."
"Uh-huh," Walter rolled his eyes. "Luckily for you, I've got a plan."
"You do?" Trucy cocked an eyebrow.
Walter pulled the crystal out as everyone gasped. "I managed to find this thing up here."
"Would you let me go?" The crystal complained. "This has been utterly the worst day ever! Me? Reduced to being tossed aside for rotten bananas!? Shameful!"
"Oh no I won't," Walter told the crystal. "You're gonna be an important part to my plan, you cheap piece of glass."
As the rest of the group talked, Makoto heard a voice.
"My, it took us a while didn't it."
Makoto's eyes widened as she thought. "Wait, Agnes?"
The trio looked at Makoto who seemed pale at first. The latter then smirked.
"Wait, it all makes sense," Makoto told the others.
"Uh, Makoto? You okay?" Usopp asked.
"I'm fine, Soge…I mean Usopp," Makoto said before a mask appeared on her face startling everyone. "The distortion that the Banandium Root is causing is having an effect on my persona…I think I may have a plan myself, Walter."
"Persona?" Trucy reeled back. "Wait wait wait! I haven't taken this all in yet."
"COME ON OUT, AGNES!" A blue flash appeared as Makoto was now wearing a gray spiked get-up while riding on a black & gold motorcycle. This was none other than her alter-ego, Queen.
"WHAT THE SHIT!? WHAT!?" Walter blurted out.
"Follow my lead everyone!" Makoto rode right off the building with Agnes.
"Is that a persona!?" Trucy gaped.
"No, Truce, that's a bike." Usopp was stunned himself.
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Walter: Of all the weird shit I've seen, this is up there! What the fuck!? She seemed like some regular kid, and all of a sudden she has crazy powers too!? Oh my God, I need a break after this crack trip.
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Doflamingo destroyed more buildings as more New Donkers fled, Makoto rode up to him while on her motorcycle.
"Hey, Doffy!" Makoto yelled. "I have some business with you!"
"Grk, one of the filthy coppers." Doflamingo said through clenched teeth.
"Yeah, you're not the only one who can gain powers from changing outfits," Makoto then commanded. "AGNES, FREIDYNE!"
Suddenly, Doflamingo was knocked back by a nuclear blast. He landed on his feet as he glared at Queen.
"You're dead now, kid." Doflamingo lunged towards her, Cosmic Strings surrounding him.
Queen drove around them as they did damage Agnes somewhat. She drove away as Doflamingo started flying after Makoto, sending more strings her way. Makoto dodged more of them and as she shot more nuclear blasts Doflamingo's way. She made sharp turns throughout the city while avoiding all the people left.
Wario ran through the wrecked city, looking around for Doflamingo.
"Where is that-a-big loser?" Wario let out. "I deserve to smash that guy's face in!"
"Wario." Pauline glared daggers at the man as she & DK walked up.
"WAAAAAH, PAULINE!?" Wario exclaimed. "Look, Wario can explain."
"I leave you here for seconds, SECONDS, and my city is completely DESTROYED!" Pauline clenched her fist as she then socked Wario right in the face. "I'll make sure that you'll be spending a good amount of time behind bars after all this!"
"Uh, Pauline," DK said awkwardly. "I'd hate to interrupt right now, but is that banana rot on the ground."
Pauline looked and gasped. "No, that piece of the Banandium Root."
They all heard crashing sounds in the distance as Wario, DK, & Pauline ran for it.
"HEY! YOU STAY OUTTA THIS!" DK nudged against Wario. "HAVEN'T YOU CAUSED ENOUGH TROUBLE?"
"WAH! THIS IS NONE OF YOUR-A-BUSINESS, YOU DUMB APE!"
Paul stood back up, and Trebol was at the top of New Donk City Hall laughing at him.
"BAHAHAHAHAHA!" Trebol laughed. "You have all been such bullies to Doffy, now you're gonna regret it. Bahahahaha!"
"Quiet, you," Paul growled.
"Ohhhhhh, is the kid being a tough guy now?" Trebol laughed some more. "Gimme a break, I'll finish the job since Doffy's busy right now dealin' with the rest of you brats."
Trebol shot a bunch of nasty ass slime balls at Paul, who sent Magmortar out to use flamethrower on them. Trebol jumped up, and attempted to hit Magmortar with his staff. Magmortar was able to deflect that before Paul swapped the former out for Weavile. Weavile swiftly zipped around Trebol, who used his haki to coat his staff. Trebol wacked Weavile with the staff, as the latter fainted. Paul grit his teeth as he sent Ninjask out. Ninjask used Fury Cutter to scratch at Trebol multiple times.
"Those pets of yours are some tough cookies, kid." Trebol stood up. "But can they handle THIS?"
Trebol shot a wave of slime out. Paul ducked as Ninjask cut through most of it, but it got stuck to the ground as Trebol laughed some more. Paul sent Magmortar back out to burn the slime away.
"Tch, is this all you got?" Paul scoffed. "Lame, you're gross too, y'know."
"H-hey! Now that's just mean!" Trebol sobbed as he overflowed with snot.
Suddenly, a Qwark shaped notebook hit Trebol right in the face, as the aforementioned appeared.
"Never fear, for I've finally caught up!" Qwark boasted.
"Gee, great." Paul sighed. "The idiot is here."
"So you're causing all this racket, eh?" Qwark got up close to Trebol.
"Don't scare me like that!" Trebol sobbed before covering Qwark's fist in goo.
Qwark looked at his fist, before Trebal whacked him a haki coated staff. Paul rolled his eyes at this display.
"For the love of Arceus," Paul then threw another Pokeball. "MAGMORTAR, BURN THIS GUY'S SLIME!"
"What was that?" Trebol asked. "Burn?"
"MAGMORTAR!" Magmortar shot fire out of its arm cannons, melting all the slime.
"NO! MY SLIME! MY MUCUS!" Trebol screamed as he was now just a scrawny old man.
POW!
Qwark finally pounded Trebol on the back, knocking him out.
"What a disgusting old man," Qwark shuddered.
Doflamingo had lost Makoto. He was in some dark alleyway where he wandered around, trying to find a motorcycle. This was until he found Trucy.
"Oh nooooooooo," Trucy said very sarcastically. "It's Doflamingo, whatever will I do?"
Doflaming flew towards Trucy, but out of nowhere, two more Freidynes blew up at him. Doflamingo got up marched over to Trucy, who started running. The ex-warlord of the sea flew after her as fast as possible. Suddenly, he heard a voice.
"SPECIAL ATTACK: SUPER GROW UP!"
A giant plant bloomed in front of Doflamingo, trapping him. Doflamingo sliced the plant down as he flew right towards Usopp (who knows where Sogeking went), and grabbed him.
"You seriously thought you lot could take me on?" Doflamingo mocked. "You're NOTHING without Straw Hat picking up the slack."
Usopp smirked. "I didn't have to beat you, I only had to distract you."
Makoto came riding back in on Agnes and rammed into Doflamingo. Doflamingo used his haki to harden his feather boa as he slashed at the motorcycle. Makoto took out her gun and shot multiple bullets at Doflamingo who dodged them. The two had a full fist fight, where Makoto was able to land some hits before landing an Atomic Flare. This blasted Doflamingo into the air, where Usopp was able to fire some Fire Stars. Doffy swiped the fire stars away.
"Alright, Trucy," Makoto called out, "Are you ready?"
Trucy then appeared out of thin air. "Ready when you are!'
Makoto reached into her pocket, and brought out Jose's star. Doflamingo suddenly found himself in some kind of magic show, trapped in a box.
"WHAT IS THE MEANING OF THIS!?" Doflamingo yelled.
"Welcome one and all, to Trucy's Magic Mayhem!" Trucy announced to a crowd. "Today, I'm going to saw this man in half!"
"As if," Doflamingo mocked as he tried to claw his way out.
"Oh no you don't," Queen showed up on stage as she shot at the box multiple times.
Trucy then started stabbing at the box with multiple sharp objects. Eventually, the magician tossed a torch causing an explosion. Makoto, Trucy, & Doflamingo were then sent back to reality, as Doflamingo had noticeable burn marks on him. Nonetheless, the king of strings stood up shoved Trucy onto the ground and grabbed Makoto by the neck.
"Fools!" Doflamingo yelled as he landed. "You all stand no chance against I-" suddenly, Doflamingo felt a sharp pain in his neck
"What?" Doflamingo looked behind him and Walter had a gun ready. Doflamingo fell down as he felt significantly weaker.
"Bingo," Walter crouched down. "That bullet is made of what Pinocchio calls 'Sea Prism Stone'."
Walter pulled the crystal out next. "Summoned it from this thing."
"I demand to be respected as more than just 'this thing'!"
"What?" Doflamingo choked out. "NNNOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!"
Doflamingo got up, "I refuse to go out in such an underwhelming way, I am Donquixote Doflamingo! THE HEAVENLY DEMON! YOU SHALL BOW BEFORE ME! What's that noise?"
Donkey Kong suddenly ran right up to Doflamingo and punched him so hard, the latter went straight into a building.
Wario ran in too, "Wah! You've cause me a lot of trouble, Doffy! Now, Wario will take care of you."
Wario took out some rotten garlic and ate it, transforming himself into Wario-Man. Doflamingo attempted to attack, but the Sea Prism Stone had significantly weakened Doffy. He could only lay on his stomach, and watch as Wario-Man & DK both grinned. The two of them smashed Doflamingo's face in, twirled him around, tossed him through building, stomped on him, and punched him in the face so hard, that the Banandium Root flew straight out of Doflamingo as he was sent flying. Walter chuckled as Doflamingo landed right towards him, because he then opened a portal to lead Doflamingo to some outside place.
"WALTER! WHY WOULD YOU DO THAT!?" Usopp grabbed Walter and shook him by the shirt.
"Calm down, Pinocchio," Walter told the sniper. "Better whatever universe he's sent to than us, I'd say."
"Now that's just cold." Usopp muttered.
Doflamingo was back to his regular form, but he was much more muddy, scarred, and swollen as he looked around where he was. He was in some kind of office…wait….these walls looked familiar. The Heavenly Demon turned around and…
…
…
…
…
…
…
…
…
…
…
…
…
…
…
…
…
…
…
…
…
…he looked right at prison warden, Magellan, right as he was about to eat a doughnut. There was an awkward silence.
"No…no…" Doflamingo then screamed. "NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! CURSE YOU YOU BRATS, WALTER WHITE, WARIO, AND ESPECIALLY GOD USOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO-"
He was interrupted as he saw a wave of poison about to hit him.
New Donk was quiet as the contestants took a breather.
"We…" Usopp said in disbelief. "We did it…"
"NEVER have this guy on the show AGAIN, Wario." The crystal yelled out. "You're lucky that White was able to pull that bullet out of who knows where."
Olivier, Marcie, Penny, & Waluigi came over as well.
"WAH!? WHERE'S THE BAD GUY!?" Waluigi looked around frantically. "Don't-a-tell me I didn't get to be the hero today!"
"What do you know," Marcie smiled. "You guys really did take him out."
Olivier then said, "I have to admit, I'm proud of all of you. That display of teamwork is something I haven't seen since that battle with Father."
"Oh, Marcie," Trucy ran up excitedly. "You should've seen 'Koto & i! We were amazing doing that showtime thing or whatever she called it."
"WAHAHAHAHA! Wario saved the day!" Wario gloated. "Suck on that, Waluigi!"
Eventually, Judy came running in, with Reuben in her arms.
"Marcie! I managed to look over Reuben's injuries," Judy told the girl.
"Er, Judy, I kinda already looked over them." Penny informed the officer.
"Oh, well, it's still helpful to know that Reuben has been heavily injured from all of this." Judy told the cast. "There's multiple bullet wounds, stab wounds, and he's been beaten pretty badly too."
"WAH! Wah-t are you saying?" Wario narrowed his eyes.
"I'm saying Reuben is obviously too injured to keep playing on the show, and he needs to get medical help as soon as possible." Judy answered. "Heck, lots of other people may need medical attention too!"
Judy gestured to Olivier, Marcie, Penny, & Waluigi who were all still pretty bloody from those haki strings.
"WAH! WARIO CAN'T HAVE 5 MEDICAL EVACUATIONS!"
Makoto took notice of how she was still in her Queen persona. A lightbulb ent off in her head as then said, "Wait a minute, guys, gather around me, now. I don't know how much longer my power will last.
The four aftorementioned did as Makoto said, and Judy plopped Reuben down as Makoto then used Mediarahan on everyone.
Reuben got up, and felt significantly stronger. "What the heck? I suddenly feel better already."
"What kind of alchemy is this!?" Olivier asked, baffled.
"Thanks, Mako," Hot Dog Water said to Makoto. "That power of your's is really handy, you know."
"It's no problem, really." Makoto said as her clothes went back to normal.
SpongeBob then entered with Looker.
"E GADS!" Looker yelped. "WHAT HAPPENED TO THIS PLACE!?"
"Yeah, if you could help everyone out here, that'd be nice." SpongeBob told the officer.
"Well…alright, I'll see what we can do," Looker scratched the back of his neck.
"Looker?" Makoto said in surprise.
"WARIO!" The cast looked over and saw a livid Pauline.
"Uh oh, RUN EVERYONE!" Wario bolted before the rest of the cast did too.
"GET THEEEEEEEEEEEEEM!" Pauline commanded the New Donk City officers.
The cast all scrambled back onto the cruiser, as Wario set sail as fast as he could. The cruiser rode off into the sunset, as everyone had the feeling they forgot something…or someone…or two people…
At night, Judy jolted out of bed as she exclaimed, "QWARK! PAUL!"
Qwark & Paul played chess on top of the New Donk City hall building.
"At this point," Paul said. "They all must be dead."
"Such a shame," Qwark added. "If only they had me on their side. Things would've been different otherwise."
Pauline & DK looked at the city as it was being repaired. Looker, Sam & Max had arrested all of Doflamingo's crew members that were brought to New Donk, and Pauline & DK shot some mocking grins at Sugar. After the pirates were taken away, DK & Pauline had some small talk that they hadn't really had in a long time.
"Had no idea you kept that piece of the Banandium Root," DK said to Pauline.
"Yeah, I keep it as a memento of our journey to the planet's core." Pauline replied. "It's nice to see you again, DK."
"Hey, it's no problem." DK replied. "I'm glad I was able to help out back there. I'm always up for slammin' some bad guys."
"I suppose you have to get back to DK Isles," Pauline said.
"Eh, I'll stick around to help fix up this city. Maybe I can call up Funky to do something."
"Thanks."

Notes:
And that concludes the biggest episode so far. God, this one took a while to finish, but I finally did it. The fight scenes were definitely the hardest part to write, but I hope they turned out well. This also ends the reign of terror that was Doflamingo. This whole arc was one I had planned since I started this fic, and I feel satisfied with how it turned out. This was very much inspired by the Dragon Rick two parter from Total Drama Infinite (special thanks to Memeking for inadvertently inspiring this two parter). Also a special thanks to Echoslook for giving me a lot of the ideas for this episode. This is definitely not gonna be the last Wario hears from Pauline, and don't worry, Paul & Qwark are both still in the game. I just had that chess bit as a gag. The next challenge will definitely be a more lighthearted one since this chapter got pretty dark too. Anyways, catch you all next chapter!
Chapter 13: Episode 12: BWAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!

Chapter Text
“BREAKING NEWS!”
The song of the Mushroom Kingdom’s national news blared all over the TVs. Many Toads were pretty unhappy at the sudden interruption, since they were watching shows already. Eventually, a Lakitu with a pompadour and sunglasses appeared on the broadcast.
“We interrupt this program to bring you all urgent news!” The Lakitu announced to all the Mushroom people as the screen shifted to Doflamingo’s bird cage destroying New Donk City. “New Donk City has suffered massive destruction of property and acts of terrorism. Fortunately, no lives were lost in this mishap. We are here now with Mayor Pauline for more information.”
The screen then went to Pauline while many New Donkers were carrying around tools and carting around bricks & cement. Pauline had one hand over the other as she frowned slightly.
“Thank you for this interview, mayor,” The cameraman told Pauline. “May we ask how it all went down with that pink menace?”
“I’m still in shock, myself,” Pauline let out a breath she hadn’t realized she was holding in. “Everything was all business as usual, until Wario & Waluigi appeared with the Daisy Cruiser and all of these strangers.”
“Hold on, did you say the Daisy Cruiser? The world famous Daisy Cruiser? THAT Daisy Cruiser?”
“Yes, that greedy jerk stole my friend’s cruiser months ago, and Peach & I have been trying to help her get it back. All of a sudden, the Wario Bros. come waltzing in with this crowd of…interesting people. Among them was a magician, a man with a long nose, a rabbit wearing a police uniform, and a furry yellow…thing. I tried to apprehend Wario, but all of a sudden, this pink guy went completely ballistic and trapped us all in this bird cage where he made my people attack each other.”
“That must have been very traumatic for you. I hope you’re doing well.”
Pauline sighed, “Unfortunately, this isn’t the first time New Donk City has gone through a disaster like this. I don’t necessarily know why those strangers were all with Wario, but whatever it is, they’ve all proved themselves to be quite the dangerous types. If you see any of these people-”
The screen flashed to show wanted posters for all of the contestants still in the game, along with one for Doflamingo. Even Wario & Waluigi’s already existing bounties had skyrocketed.
“Don’t hesitate to turn them in.” Pauline told everyone watching.
“Thank you for telling all this to us, mayor.” The cameraman said, “Now to turn it back over to the station.”
“WAAAAAAAAAAH!!!!” Wario woke up yelling.
“WHAT? WHAT!?” The crystal exclaimed. “Would you stop with that yelling? You’re disturbing my beauty sleep.”
“Would you stop disturbing Wario’s beauty sleep?” Wario backtalked. “Some stupid nightmare isn’t going to be leaving Wario paranoid.”
“Riiiiiight.” If the crystal had eyes, it would be rolling them.
Wario jumped out of bed, got dressed into his overalls, skipped the shower AGAIN, and went to get food. He walked past a door, and stopped as he heard Makoto, Trucy, & Judy’s voices.
“....just what could these diary pages mean?”
“I dunno, maybe Wario’s gonna pull the wool over our eyes like some type of magician.”
“Trucy,” a sigh followed that comment. “What are we going to do with you?”
Wario put his ear right next to the door as this conversation happened.
“And people are really buying that?” Paul rolled his eyes. “What a bunch of gullible morons.”
Walter & Paul had met up in Walter’s room again. It was much less crowded with Ted & Marcie both out of the alliance. It was very clear that Walter & Paul’s allyship was on its last legs, from the way the duo constantly butted heads with one another.
“I know that damn cop is still on our case,” Walter told the Pokemon Trainer, “However, I can smooth talk our fellow competitors more. We’re approaching the merge soon, we need to step things up, kiddo.”
“Don’t call me kiddo,” Paul grunted.
“Now…let’s talk about that power that the other cop girl had,” Walter said ominously.
“Power?” Paul raised an eyebrow.
“Right, you didn’t see it,” Walter then described. “That girl that hangs around the rabbit pig donned this weird outfit that gave her a mask and a motorcycle for God’s sake. The reason I bring this up is that she looked….familiar wearing that.”
“Familiar? Are you some kinda creep?”
“WHAT!?” Walter blurted out. “Listen, you little turd, I have a feeling I’ve seen that vague silhouette before.”
“I’m outta here,” Paul said. “If you want our alliance to do better, then you should’ve got more competent people.”
Walter sat down, and rolled up a fist to his mouth.
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Walter: What even is that kid on about? That would just cause even more suspicion on our end. But, no one seems to be taking our alliance seriously anyways. Heh, guess I could…hold some leverage over a fellow contestant.
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Marcie was sitting on her bed, typing on her laptop, until she heard a knock on the door. Hot Dog Water opened it, and found Paul standing at the door frame.
“Oh, what do you want?” Marcie groaned.
“You know, that alliance is the best shot you have of winning right?” Paul asked. “We’re gonna be at the halfway point soon, and compared to all the freaks here, you don’t stand much of a chance.”
Marcie rolled her eyes. “You cannot convince me to go back to Walter. The guy makes it so obvious that he’s bad news. He might have everyone else fooled now into thinking he’s harmless, but I know better at this point.”
“Hmph, I’m just warning you,” Paul said aggressively. “You’re gonna need to be in an alliance soon, unless you want to lose. Don’t think ‘the power of friendship’’s going to carry you either.”
“And just who are you to preach to me?”
“You need more than just ‘friendship’ to win. You need to put in the effort, otherwise, you’ll be voted out before you know it.”
“Are you….trying to help me?” Marcie stood in shock.
“Tch, believe what you want to believe,” Paul turned around. “It’s not like I care.”
Marcie slowly closed the door as many thoughts invaded her mind. What just happened? Why did Paul seem so concerned about her potentially being eliminated? Why did he oddly give solid advice? Marcie just went back on her laptop to clear her mind.
“Alright, oh ‘Great’ Sniper King,” Qwark paced all over the ship, wearing a detective hat and coat over his usual green spandex all while holding a magnifying glass. “I’ll find out who you truly are! Then everyone will praise the Great Captain Qwark for unmasking this villain!”
Usopp just watched in the background with a complete blank look on his face. Was this man serious? He is going to dwell on figuring out the identity of Usopp’s alter-ego. This was giving the sniper second thoughts about teaming up with Qwark to say the least.
“Uh, Qwark?” Usopp spoke up, “Shouldn’t we focus on getting more members for our alliance? I know Sogeking is really cool and all, but this is all a waste of time. No one’s ever figured out his secret identity.”
“Well, that will just make me even more of a great superhero for being the first to uncover his secret identity!” Qwark pointed up. “You know…I’ve never seen you and that Sniper King in the same place at the same time…”
“Uh…” Usopp droned.
“That must mean that you are….” Qwark pointed at Usopp. “A CLOSE ASSOCIATE OF SOGEKING!”
Usopp fell backwards in the typical anime way.
“Yes! It all makes sense!” Qwark bragged. “You praised Sogeking by calling him ‘cool’, and you hide yourself in the shadows whenever he appears as a way to not spoil what secrets hide behind his mask!”
“........yes, that’s right! Sogeking and I go waaaaaay back.” Usopp grinned. “But I’ll give you more info about Sogeking if we get more members on our alliance. Maybe I can tell you about the time he & I fought off all of Baroque Works!”
“You don’t have to worry, the information on that dastardly man’s identity is more than enough to suffice,” Qwark ‘assured’ Usopp, “And I know just who to go for.”
“No.” Olivier said with absolutely no hesitation.
Qwark & Usopp sat across from Olivier at the cafeteria, as Reuben was behind the counter, making tons of sandwiches.
“C’mon, Olivier,” Qwark leaned forwards. “You & I, we could make a good team. The merge is slowly approaching, and you wouldn’t want to get thrown out.”
“The answer’s still no,” Olivier said firmly.
“Yeah, Qwark, I don’t think Armstrong’s gonna budge,” Usopp told his teammate.
“Nonsense, she’s just in denial is all.” Qwark ironically enough said in denial.
“Qwark, let’s say, hypothetically, I decide to join your little alliance,” Olivier told the captain. “How can I trust you as a leader? You’re completely full of hot air, you cower at the slightest threat, and your plans seem to work solely based on dumb luck. We may be…acquaintances now, but I won’t fully trust an alliance led by you.”
“You don’t have to be that brutally honest,” Qwark sighed. “Well, it was all fun while it lasted, I suppose.”
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Usopp: Man, I didn’t think he’d get much of an explanation besides getting one of Armstrong’s typical icy glares. I’m getting stumped myself on new members of our alliance. No matter, for I am Captain Usopp after all, and I will always find a way!
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Trucy & Makoto went to the theater, and the room was very wide, pretty big, and had a giant screen right in the front of the entire room.
“Wow, funny how I haven’t seen anyone use this room yet,” Trucy thought out loud. “I almost forgot this cruise even had it.”
“Well, I guess when there’s so much on this ship already, it makes sense that we’d all forget some things.” Makoto assumed.
“How about we have a movie night here, ‘Koto?” Trucy asked. “If only this ship had some popcorn and other overpriced snacks.”
“A movie night, huh. I used to do that all the time with sis and dad,” Makoto reminisced.
“Say, what’s your favorite movie, ‘Koto?” Trucy asked before teasing with, “If it’s some educational thing then I’m out.”
“Hey!” Makoto fired back. “I can be fun too! I don’t study all the time.”
“I dunno about that,” Trucy grinned.
“Alright, guess we’ll have to have a movie night for ‘Like a Phoenix 3’ then,” Makoto replied with a smirk. “That should make you eat those words.”
Penny logged off of her computer and went to the game room. She needed something to take her mind off the guilt of participating in Wario’s scam, after all. Penny played some rounds of Pac-Man, before she lost 3 times.
Penny sighed, “Guess we’re really about to be at the homestretch now.”
Part of Penny felt as if that disaster at New Donk was her fault for being Wario’s partner in crime for this whole show. If it hadn’t been for it, the city would be fine, and it would all just be another ordinary day at the Metro Kingdom. This overthinking caused Penny to lose once again in Pac-Man.
“Wah, you really stink at that-a-game,” Waluigi said out of nowhere.
“AHH!” Penny jumped. “Waluigi, y-you scared the jeepers out of me!”
“Wahahaha! You should’ve seen the look on your face!” Waluigi laughed. “Are you really still-a-caught up with helping Wario scam all these-a-chumps?”
“Well…a little bit,” Penny clenched her lab coat. “You’re in a good mood today, Waluigi.”
“Wah? Well, Waluigi…” Waluigi’s mind wandered back to meeting Ima at New Donk City. “Bah! Waluigi doesn’t need to tell you anything! Wahahahaha! I’ll give you some advice, since if anyone can give advice on Wario, it’s-a-me! If you really want to turn it around and make Wario your dog, I’d say to steal all of his garlic!”
“Garlic? I don’t know, Waluigi, that sounds kinda mean.”
“So wah-t? That fatso deserves it for all I care! If he doesn’t have any garlic, he’ll go completely insane, and he’ll do anything…and I mean anything to get-a-more garlic.”
“Will that really work?” Penny asked.
“It always worked for-a-me.” Waluigi poked Penny. “Now Waluigi must be off, I’ve got a dance routine to show off to any fans of mine out-a-there.”
Eventually, everyone gathered at the cafeteria after Wario had announced the next challenge. What they didn’t expect however, was to see a pile of wanted posters on one of the tables.
“What the!?” Reuben exclaimed. “What in the world are some pictures doing here?”
“Guys! GUYS!” Mona rushed into the cafeteria, freaking out.
“What’s wrong with you?” Marcie asked, jarred. “Seriously, you look like you just saw a ghost.”
“Yeah, Mona, maybe we should all calm down and explain what it is you’re freaking out so hard over.” Judy offered.
“Calm down?” Ashley suddenly appeared behind Usopp.
“GAAAHHH!!!” Usopp jumped. “WOULD YOU NOT DO THAT!? YOU’RE CREEPY ENOUGH AS IS!”
“You’re all wanted by the Metro Kingdom….” Ashley deadpanned.
“Waluigi already knew that!” Waluigi laughed it off. “He and Wario have had their bounties for a long-a-time.”
“No, you idiot,” Ashley replied. “You’ve only had a bounty in the Mushroom Kingdom, but all of you have become known as worldwide terrorists.”
“Wait…WHAT!?!?” Usopp shrieked.
“WAIT, SO WE’RE CRIMINALS IN THIS WORLD NOW!?!?” Judy exclaimed at the top of her lungs. “Oh no, ZPD is not gonna be happy about this.”
“Goddamnit,” Walter cursed. “Even in another world, I still have the pigs after me.”
“Ohhh, does that mean Waluigi has a higher bounty now?” Waluigi rubbed his hands together in excitement.
“You should not be excited about this,” Makoto said, also shaken up.
“WAH! YOU THINK YOU ALL HAVE IT-A-BAD!?” Wario burst through a door. “WARIO ALREADY HAD ENOUGH OF A PROBLEM WITH BOUNTY HUNTERS! BUT THIS IS-A-EVEN MORE ANNOYING!”
“Well, darn…” Trucy sighed.
“HOW CAN YOU BE SO CALM!?” Usopp suddenly started shaking Trucy by the shoulders.
“It wouldn’t be my first time in jail,” Trucy winked. “How can you be freaking so hard? Aren’t you a pirate? Don’t you already have a bounty in your universe?”
“I DON’T LIKE HAVING THAT BOUNTY EITHER!!!” Usopp cried.
“I sure hope they got a good picture,” Qwark muttered. “Every universe could use a good shot of this mug after all.”
One by one, Mona took the posters and started reading them.
“...Sandwich Lover, Reuben, 50 coins,” Mona read.
“Wow, that’s gotta sting,” Usopp said with sympathy.
“Eh, so what? At least the cops won’t be as much after me as the rest o’ you,” Reuben shrugged.
“You didn’t have to remind me…” Usopp told the experiment.
Makoto held her wanted poster which showed a picture of her riding Agnes while dressed in her Phantom Thief attire, "Unbelievable, how did they even get that picture?”
“PIG COP!?!?” Judy exclaimed while reading her poster.
Walter started laughing his ass off.
“PIG COP!? THAT’S WHAT I’M KNOWN AS AROUND THESE PARTS!?” Judy said, horrified.
“Huh, bold nickname coming from the police, themselves,” Trucy thought out loud.
Qwark gasped, “THAT BLASTED SNIPER KING GOT A BOUNTY TOO!? Show me mine alre-”
Qwark got a hold of his wanted poster, but it didn’t show any picture of him. Instead there was a very Picasso-esque drawing of Qwark showing. The eyes were oddly realistic and weirdly shaped, the lips were pretty pronounced, the chin was even bigger than it is in reality, and the eyes had tons of eyelashes showing.
“E GADS! WHAT IS THIS ABOMINATION!?” Qwark yelled.
“I think they nailed the profile pretty well, spandex.” Reuben snarked.
“I AM THE MOST PHOTOGENIC MAN IMAGINABLE! AND THEY GIVE ME THIS!?” Qwark hollered in an enraged tone.
“Looks like Doflamingo got a second bounty too,” Usopp sighed as he saw Doffy’s poster, which was buried underneath the rest of them.
“It seems like we’ll have to be more careful, going forward,” Olivier added her own two cents in.
“What is an ‘edgelord’,” Paul raised an eyebrow as he read his wanted poster.
“‘Twisted Houdini’? Now that’s a cool nickname,” Trucy beamed. “Maybe I should adopt that for a future show back home!”
“Wah! I’ve given you chumps enough time to look at your-a-stupid wanted posters,” Wario interrupted everyone. “Follow Wario outside, so he can give you saps the last challenge before…the merge!”
“The merge?” Trucy asked.
“I remember you said something about how our teams would eventually dissolve,” Makoto said to Wario.
“Wow, we got a real detective here!” Wario rudely remarked. “This will be the last elimination before all of you are left on your own sorry butts. Wahahahahaha!”
Wario whispered to Penny, “And you’d better not screw this up for me!”
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Usopp: Wow, we really are at the homestretch now, and I only have one thing to say. YES! DOFLAMINGO IS FINALLY OUT! ALL OF THAT TORMENT IS NOW GONE! Heh, glad to get that outta my system. I’d better focus hard if I wanna win this whole thing.
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Hot Dog Water: Here we are, I’ve seen some weird things, but this game show sure takes the cake for the weirdest experience I’ve had. I never would have imagined I’d outlast the vampire girl, that hedgehog with the giant hammer, or that psychopath Doflamingo. I’m sure glad I did anyways.
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Walter: Damn, I gotta think of something fast. Once that merge hits, people will go after the biggest threats. I was in over my head with that initial alliance, but I’ll do much better in this merge, I swear.
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
“Oh…and one more announcement,” Wario told the cast. “You’re all being so BORING blaming the drug dealer for everything!”
“I resent that.” Walter growled.
“So, I’ll spill the beans on a few certain contestants.” Wario grinned.
“I have no interest in meaningless gossip,” Olivier responded. “I’d suggest you get on with this next challenge.”
“Oh…but you see,” Wario pulled down a screen as Mona rolled a projector in.
The projector turned on, and suddenly, Makoto, Judy, & Trucy were shown on screen, planning with each other. The three girls all gasped.
“YES! THESE-A-GIRLS HAVE BEEN IN THEIR OWN ALLIANCE ALL OF THIS-A-TIME!” Wario announced. “Who knows, they could be planning to vote any of you saps out once they’re done with baldie!”
“YOU SLIMEBALL!” Trucy exclaimed.
“Oh, I see someone is desperate to make sure no one exposes this show for the scam it is,” Makoto sent her signature glare towards the host.
“Wait, scam?” Usopp asked.
“Now this is gettin’ juicy,” Reuben took a bite out of a sandwich as he watched this all play out.
“Scam? What? Don’t all of your fellow contestants deserve to know about these little secrets?” Wario sneered at Makoto.
“Hmph, pathetic,” Paul let out.
“We will get back at you for this, Wario,” Judy added. “Don’t think you’ve taken us down just yet.”
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Qwark: Whew, I can’t say this out there, but it seems as if I was wise to create my own alliance post haste. I am so very sneaky that I can get by without anyone suspecting a thing, but enough about my wonderfulness, perhaps this can persuade someone to join my alliance of greatness.
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Olivier: I know White may be quite the suspicious man, but I simply cannot ignore the fact that these three are currently a bigger threat than him. As Wario said, once they’re done with him, they could very well take anyone else out. I’ll keep my eye on them for now.
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Penny: This is bad, really bad! Makoto, Judy, & Trucy are my only ticket to taking Wario down. If they become public enemy number 1 on this show…then what am I gonna do?
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
“Oh noooooo, I’m-a-soooooo scared!!!” Wario laughed at the alliance’s expense. “Wahahaha! Serves you three right!”
“Well, this is one way to get you all off my ass, I suppose,” Walter commented.
“Not if ya keep up that nasty attitude,” Reuben snarked.
“Now, it’s time for your next challenge, chumps!” Wario told the cast.
When the cast got off deck as the Wario Cruiser docked, they saw pretty weird stuff. White Warp Pipes that had rabbit ears on them were twisting around all over the place, giant rubber ducks were seen lying around, random blocks stacked up on top each other in the background, and donut plants were growing off the ground.
“Alright, this has GOT to be some weird meth trip at this point,” Walter stated. “Donut plants!? This goes against everything scientists stand for!”
“Oh man, this is one weird island,” Usopp commented.
“I can get behind this,” Trucy said. “Weird pipes? Donuts? Ducks! When I move out of my daddy’s place someday, this would be a very good spot to live.”
“Aside from that bounty you’ve got,” Makoto told the magician.
“I can improvise,” Trucy replied in a playful tone.
“Wah! If Waluigi can live in Diamond City for all these years with his-a-bounty,” Waluigi interjected. “Then magic girl could make do.”
“Yeah! Maybe I can get a fake nose that looks just like your’s, Waluigi!” Trucy teased.
“WAH!? If anyone has the big-a-nose, it’s-a-Pinocchio!”
“At least my nose isn’t pink! Big nose!” Usopp argued.
“At least my nose isn’t-a-so long it could peck someone’s eye out!”
“At least my nose doesn’t look all swollen and gross!”
“AT LEAST-”
“WOULD YOU TWO SHUT UP!?” Wario yelled.
Usopp & Waluigi then kept quiet as they both glared at each other and grumbled.
“Now, the challenge will be very easy,” Wario told his cast before he held up a picture of some ugly ass rabbit thing.
“Looks like some kind of disgusting alien parasite!” Quark shuddered.
“I swear,” Marcie rolled her eyes, “A dog with two broken paws could draw better than that.”
“I’ll have all of you know that I’m a great artist! Just ask Mona,” Wario bragged. “In this area, there’s tons of those rabbit things that…Mario…went on a magical adventure with. I wah-nt you saps to bring me as many of them as you can, and wah-tevere team gets the most rabbits wins.”
As Wario was saying all this, a bunch of those aforementioned rabbits, the Rabbids, walked off of the Wario Cruiser, while carrying away a ton of coins and other riches that Wario had. Usopp looked over and saw the Rabbids carry all of Wario’s coins away, and looked at Qwark. Quark made an X with his arms.
“Uh, Wario?” Judy spoke up.
“Wah-t do you wah-nt?” Wario asked rudely.
“You might want to take a look at this…” Judy pointed at the Rabbids.
Wario looked, and a bunch of Rabbids were now running away with all of his money. Wario’s jaw dropped as he stayed silent for a couple of seconds. Trucy walked up and poked him.
“Wario? You good?”
Wario kept silent until finally, he let out one big scream.
“WAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHH!!!!! THOSE LITTLE FLEA RIDDEN RRRRRRAAAAAATTTTTSSSSSS!!!!!” Wario’s face was as red as a tomato as he screamed this. “THAT’S-A-IT! NEW CHALLENGE! I WAHN-T YOU LOSERS TO DESTROY THOSE RABBID THINGS! I DON’T-A-CARE HOW YOU DO IT! MAKE THEM ALL-A-PAY!!!”
“Wah! You totally deserved that!” Waluigi said mockingly to Wario.
“Shut up, Waluigi! Or else I’ll give you another beatdown!”
Wario’s phone rang right on cue, and as he turned it on, Dr. Crygor could be seen on screen.
“Wah-t do you wah-nt, Crygor? I’m-a-busy right now!” Wario aggressively told the doctor.
“I am very sorry to disturb you, Wario,” Dr. Crygor apologized. “I have been watching the show, and saw that you were in a bit of a pickle.”
“Wah-t’s it to you?” Wario picked his nose.
“Well, I wanted to inform you that through my research on the red man’s past adventures, I created some contraptions that can take those Rabbids out.” Crygor told Wario.
“It’s not like most us can fight or anything,” Paul remarked.
“Besides, a brilliant strategy from me shall be enough to take those little rascals out.” Qwark boasted.
“I am well aware that a lot of you contestants have powers,” Crygor said, barely holding in his annoyance. “I just thought that this would be helpful for the contestants that have no such abilities.”
Wario’s phone glowed at the antenna and a blue light flashed from it. In front of the contestants, appeared a bunch of weapons that looked like they came out of a cartoon. Among these were hand-blasters, miniguns, shotguns, and one orb thing. The cast had varying reactions to this.
Judy stared awkwardly as she said, “Yeah, I’m not too sure this is totally legal. We don’t exactly have licenses on these things.”
“IS THAT A BAZOOKA!?” Trucy gasped in excitement, “LET ME HAVE IT!!!”
“Guys, wait-” Judy tried to reason.
“I’ll take that shotgun looking thing,” Marcie shrugged. “I’ve already done enough dangerous things as is.”
“This is-” Judy was interrupted again.
“Hey! Leave that arm canon for me!” Reuben made his way over to the pile. “You guys are some greedy dirtbags!”
Judy’s ears drooped as Walter approached her. “This is what you get for conspiring with an alliance. Why would anyone trust you, pig cop?”
Judy felt the sudden urge to strangle Walter, but she took a deep breath and composed herself, “I don’t need to take anything from you, White. Makoto, Trucy, & I can handle this.”
Judy walked away as Walter’s glasses shined in the sunlight.
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Walter: This will be a cake walk. The cop is already at her wits end with that wanted poster. I don’t even need to do anything, her alliance is already exposed, and I don’t need to dirty my hands any further getting her or her little friends eliminated.
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Team Mushroom grouped together as Olivier had sent Judy to map the area out.
“It looks like this will be our final challenge as a team,” Armstrong said. “We’d better make this one count. We’ve done considerably well compared to the other team. But it’s best that we don’t start faltering now.”
“Wah! Now you’re-a-talking!” Waluigi added. “Maybe if we blow up Team Flower, we’ll get ourselves a head start!”
“Now, that seems like a very good idea,” Qwark hummed to himself.
“No, there will be no blowing things up,” Olivier clenched her teeth as she said that. “I’ll split all of us into separate groups. Waluigi, you will go with Hopps, because I’d rather not listen to you and long nose’s constant bickering.”
“Hey, it’s no fun for me either, having triangle chin around!” Usopp blurted defensively.
“Rabbit girl may be a complete pencil neck,” Waluigi rolled his eyes as he got up, “But she’s-a-better than the snowman.”
“I will go with…White,” Olivier announced.
“Wait, what!?” Usopp yelled out.
“Are you sure about this?” Hot Dog Water raised an eyebrow.
“I’m keeping an eye on him as to make sure he doesn’t try any funny business,” Olivier told her team. “I trust that Hopps won’t scheme behind our backs.”
“And how do you know that?” Hot Dog Water remarked.
“It doesn’t seem like her to do that sort of thing,” Armstrong answered. “If anything, I would be more worried about Niijima or Wright plotting something.”
Walter smirked. “I’ll take it as a compliment that I happen to be more competent than that cop.”
“Don’t flatter yourself, White,” Olivier sharply looked at the drug lord. “I’ll still have my eye on you.”
“Ain’t this just peachy?” Reuben asked. “We’ve only got 5 people left!”
Team Flower were having their own meeting. Makoto, Trucy, Penny, & Reuben were gathered together while Paul leaned his back against a random stack of blocks.
“Yeah, we’ve had it rough out here,” Trucy admitted. “But we can’t keep dwelling on the negatives. We gotta stay upbeat.”
“Y-Yeah!” Penny said, “With the help of my grandpa’s inventions, I’m sure we will win this challenge!”
“Your grandfather, your grandfather, give me a break!” Paul said again.
“Oh boy, here comes Mister Happy,” Reuben snarked.
“I am really not in the mood to deal with your nonsense right now, Paul.” Makoto harshly told the trainer.
“And I’m not in the mood to deal with you and magic girl plotting against all of us!” Paul fired back. “Yet here we are.”
“We only made our alliance to expose Wario’s scam!” Trucy blurted out without even thinking. “We aren’t like you and Walter!”
Penny flinched a little at Trucy’s remark, but shook it off. Reuben raised an eyebrow at that outburst Trucy had.
“I’m sorry, scam?” Reuben asked.
“Oh! It’s…” Makoto debated in her mind whether to spill the beans or not. “It’s…nothing…”
“Huh, that only makes ya sound even more suspicious, don’t ya think?” Reuben told the Phantom Thief.
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Makoto: Trust me, I would have told Reuben in most other circumstances, but here, I have a feeling Wario wouldn’t even hesitate to disqualify or rig an elimination against me if I let this information spread too far. *sighs* Trucy…
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
“I swear, Trucy & I are not plotting to take over the game or anything,” Makoto promised. “Now can we all please get back to our game plan?”
“I don’t need this,” Paul walked off again. “I’ll beat those mutated Buneary’s myself.”
“Paul! Don’t do this again!” Reuben called. “Be a team player! We’d have better chances of winning if you would stop bein’ such a spoil sport.”
Paul ignored what Reuben said as went off.
Makoto sighed, “Well, this is perfect. Penny, could you have any invention that could let us find these Rabbids?”
Penny grinned. “I have just the thing…”
Penny then whipped out a golden metal detector that had a question mark block at the top, and a lever at the side.
“This may look like just your ordinary metal detector,” Penny showed off. “But in reality, this is the Coin-Sucker 2000!!! It sucks up any nearby coins and stores them all inside this question mark block!”
“So…” Trucy thought out loud. “It is your ordinary metal detector?”
“What does that lever do?” Reuben asked.
“It releases the question mark block you’ve got at the tip and plants it right where you aim.” Penny demonstrated by pulling the lever.
The question mark block launched about 11 feet away. The block went straight to the ground before slowly levitating. Afterwards, all you could see was an average block you’d see at the Mushroom Kingdom.
“Woooooooow, I take it back, Penny!” Trucy gasped. “You are AMAZING! That was like magic!”
“Gee, Trucy, you’re really making me blush right now,” Penny scratched the back of her head. “With this, we can track down all of Wario’s coins and take down all the Rabbids that stole them.”
Judy had rushed on ahead, hopping off of multiple walls and running along, before she found four Rabbids. Two of these Rabbids had orange-ish mohawks, (respectively) blue and purple makeup with pants that matched those colors. These are called Ziggies. The two others had springs on their feet and bandanas covering most of their faces, and these are Hoppers. The group of Rabbids took notice of Judy and they all had mean looks in their eyes.
“Bwa bwa bwa, BWAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!” The Hopper shot right at Judy’s direction as the latter immediately dove for one of the big brick blocks.
“That….was close,” Judy said to herself catching her breath.
“WaaaaaaaaaaAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!” Waluigi came right out of nowhere with two mini purple pistols. He shot two balls of energy right at the Hopper.
“BWAAAAAAHHHH!!!” The Hopper was hit right in the face with the two balls of energy.
The Hopper went right off a ledge and the three other Rabbids immediately went to their positions.
“Wah! You’re welcome, by the way!” Waluigi told Judy.
“Uh, thanks, Waluigi?” Judy faltered as she tried to wrap her head around where Waluigi came from.
“This is-a-why I’m number one!” Waluigi bragged. “Watch and learn, long ears!”
The Ziggies both moved right towards where Judy & Waluigi were, so Waluigi moved out of the way, dashed right into the both of them, and shot them with the pistols.
“Grrrrr, bwah!” One of the Ziggies then shot at Waluigi with a wooden gun.
It hit Waluigi square in the face, as the purple man tumbled over backwards.
“Oh, you’ve-a-done it now!”
“Okayyy, I’m gonna need to be extra careful…” Judy thought as she moved over to another brick block.
The other Hopper bounced right down in front of Hopps to shoot her, but Judy was able to trip the former up with a kick. Judy then took out a carrot themed rifle, and shot the Hopper three times.
The Hopper then bounced up in the air as his eyes turned red, “BWAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!”
Suddenly, the Hopper charged up a big spherical shot and launched it right where Judy was. Judy’s ears dropped as she fiddled around with the rifle. Eventually though, the shot hit Judy and a big mushroom cloud formed right where she was. Judy stood as the smoke cleared, covered in ash, fur sticking up.
“Wah, you’re-a-hopeless!” Waluigi threw his hands up as he and the two Ziggies kept shooting at each other.
“I’m trying, okay?” Judy argued.
The Hopper bounced off to an almost triangular set of blocks as they mocked Judy. Hopps paid no attention as she shook the ash off and ran over to another set of blocks.
“Bwahbwahbwah bwah!” The Hopper raised their fist at Judy before firing.
The shots missed, as Judy poked her head out.
“Looks like you missed, sweetheart,” Judy mocked before firing the rifle at the block the Hopper was hiding behind.
The Hopper frize in fear, as it turned out that what it had been hiding behind was a yellow box of dynamite.
BOOM!!!!!
“DAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!” The Hopper blasted off until it became a star in the sky.
“See, I do have the guts to take out one of these Rabbids!” Judy showed off to Waluigi. “Take that, Waluigi!”
“As if! Wahahahahahaha!” Waluigi laughed at Judy, “That was just-a-some dumb luck! That’s it! Just-a-luck!”
“Oh? And just how are you doing with those little guys?” Judy asked as she saw Waluigi running away from the Ziggies.
“THAT’S-A-NONE OF YOUR BUSINESS!” Waluigi blurted out.
Then, two certain rabbids flew onto the battlefield on a rocket. The rocket blew up and Judy & Waluigi ducked behind some shelter. These two rabbids jumped off of the rocket and strangely enough…they wore identical outfits to Wario & Waluigi. These two were none other than Bwario & Bwaluigi
“Bwahahahahaha!” Bwario laughed as he pulled out a machine gun resembling a Warp Pipe.
“Bwehehehehehehe!” Bwaluigi did the same as his partner in crime.
“WAH!?” Waluigi exclaimed. “WHY IS THAT-A-RABBID STEALING WALUIGI’S STYLE!?!?”
Two Rabbids threw a coin at each other, while laughing maniacally.
“Bwah bwah bwah!”
“Bwah bwah!”
One of the Rabbids stuffed the coin in their mouth before spitting it out. They both laughed some more until…
“GREEN STAR: SKULL-BLAST GRASS!!!” Usopp announced as he fired an explosive at the two Rabbids.
“DAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!” The two Rabbids were sent flying as Qwark dashed in and retrieved the coin.
“Eugh,” Qwark gagged. “It has Rabbid slobber all over it. This is no such job for someone of my caliber."
“Keep moving, men,” Olivier told the duo. “There’s much more where that came from.”
Walter trekked along behind the group. “I dunno what you would want from me, blondie. I told you, the alliance is dead and I’m just your average old man.”
“I highly doubt your tale, White,” Armstrong told the drug dealer. “You’re arguably one of the current biggest threats among our group thus far. I’ve caught on to your mind games, and how cunning you can be.”
“Riddle me this, then,” Walter argued to Olivier, Usopp, & Qwark. “I am a middle aged man with no alliance thanks to you all voting off that damn bear and that teenaged brat backstabbing me. Even if I did have one, which I don’t, the only one left would be the other kid. Who’s the bigger threat then, my ‘alliance’ or those cop girls?”
Usopp paused as he scratched his chin.
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Usopp: Damn it, Walter has a point! He definitely still has that whole alliance business going on on his end, but Judy’s group are a lot more professional than Walter’s alliance. I’m gonna have to talk this all out with Qwark, and we’d better make sure no one finds out about our alliance.
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
“I see…” Armstrong surmised after Walter made his argument.
Eventually, the quartet stopped as they went into a forest where a whole battlefield was right at the entrance. A Rabbid on some type of plant growing from a pot laughed while holding two bags of coins in the air, and they were known as the Pirabbid Plant. The Pirabbid Plant wore red pants that had white polka-dots and a helmet of some sort that had yellow petals around it. Behind the Rabbid was just a boatload of Wario’s money. Multiple Rabbids cheered as they all bathed in the treasure.
“Bwah…” The Pirabbid Plant then saw the group of contestants and its eyes turned red. “BWAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHH!!!!!”
Four Ziggies turned over and did the same scream. All 5 of the Rabbids shot right at the quartet.
“AAAAAAAHHHHHHHHH!!!!!” Usopp screamed as he dove for cover. “Man, that was a close one!”
“Stay on guard!” Olivier told the group as she pulled out another one of Crygor’s contraptions.
This one was a semi automatic, and Armstrong shot the Pirabbid Plant right in the gut with an energy blast. The Pirabbid Plant was now mad as it used the pot’s vine tentacles to run right over to where Olivier was.
“TAKE THIS, YOU VILLIAN!” Qwark pulled ray gun out and aimed at the Rabbid.
Qwark attempted to shoot it, but all that came out was a plunger that got stuck to one of the Ziggies’ faces. Another Ziggy snuck up and dashed through Qwark, tripping him.
“DOH!” Qwark yelled.
“Idiot,” Walter cursed before taking out some more meth bombs.
“Bwah, bwah, bwah!” One of the Ziggies then formed a shield around itself, before shooting at Walter’s bombs.
“Oh….fu-”
KABOOOOOO-
...
...
...
...
...
Viewer Mail Time:
“Yo! I’m 18-Volt! Coming at you with another Viewer Mail Time!” A big guy wearing a green jumpsuit said. “And this one’s from Daffy Duck!”
“Dear, 18-Volt, Orbulon, whoever, STOP DOING THIS! FOR THE LOVE OF ALL THAT IS HOLY! SOME OF US ARE JUST TRYING TO WATCH THIS SHOW AND YOU’RE RUINING EVERYTHING! THIS IS WHY THOSE BOZOS SHOULD HAVE NEVER VOTED ME OUT! I CARRY THIS SHOW ON MY BACK! ME!!! HOW DID THAT TACO STICK AROUND LONGER? HOW-”
“Dang, that is some long letter, and I’m not reading all that!” 18-Volt responded. “Remember to keep these letters coming!”
Viewer Mail-
“NO! NOOOOOOOOO!!!!” Daffy screamed as he pushed the Viewer Mail Time screen away. “I DEMAND TO HAVE MY QUESTION ANSWERED!”
“Look, man, I dunno what to say, I’m just a kid.” 18-Volt asserted.
“Look, mac, I’m happy with bein’ Wario’s business partner and all, but this is just ridiculous,” Daffy attempted to reason. “I mean seriously, interrupting the show at the most suspenseful part with whatever this is? Disgraceful, here, I’ll put on a better segment than any of you ever cou-”
Everyone in the forest was covered in soot, but the Pirabbid Plant shook it off and shot some more Piranha Plant sprouts at everyone. Usopp quickly shot plenty of firebombs at the sprouts to deflect them. Walter eventually took out his REAL pistol, and then…
BANG!
“BWAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!” The Pirabbid Plant fell down as it got shot in the leg. “....bwah…..bwaaaaaah……bwaaaaaaaahhhhhhh…..”
“Like Hell I’m using any cartoon guns,” Walter blew out the smoke coming from his pistol.
“That sure was one way to do things….” Usopp mumbled.
“Regardles, that was decent work,” Olivier complimented. “We’d best take those coins back to the ship.”
Penny ran ahead, sucking up all the coins that were being carried around by the Rabbids. They all stared at Penny, as Makoto, Trucy, & Reuben caught up with her.
“Sheesh, you can cut this tension with a knife,” Reuben commented.
“No kidding, what are these little bunnies thinking?” Trucy wondered.
“.........” The Rabbids’ eyes all suddenly turned red. “DAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!”
“Don’t worry, guys!” Penny flipped the lever, “I’ve got this all figured out!”
All pulling the lever did was launch the question mark block into the air until it turned into a star. The quartet just looked at it as they saw Rabbids with armor called Valkyries, some big Rabbids named Smashers that were carrying whole blocks of cement, and ghostly red-hooded Rabbids named Peek-a-Boos.
“BWAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHH!!!!!”
“I’d suggest we talk less, and run more!” Makoto yelled out as the quartet ran for their lives.
Reuben was feeling out of breath already, since he wasn’t exactly in-shape. Makoto, Trucy, & Penny ran as fast they all possibly could, but the Rabbids could go pretty fast themselves. Eventually, Trucy stopped and pulled her cape forwards.
“How about the lot of you taste something…” Trucy then pulled a torch out. “SPICY!!!”
Trucy blew hard on the torch, sending a whole wave of fire at the Rabbids.
“BWAAAAAAAAAHHHHHH!!!!” A Valkyrie screamed as the fire hit it.
Multiple Rabbids were running around on fire, while rolling on the floor to put it out.
“Hey, Bike Girl!” Reuben hollered. “Why don’t ya use those powers ya used against Doffy?”
“About that,” Makoto answered. “I was only able to use my Persona then because of how strong the distortion from that Banandium Root was. I cannot use it just anytime I please.”
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Makoto: I haven’t thought about it until now, but if this show is being aired in our worlds….and if people in my dimension saw me using Agnes…this could be bad…
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
“Talk about a rip, then,” Reuben complained.
“Hey, we’ve still got those weapons Grandpa gave us, right?” Penny reminded everyone.
“That’s right!” Trucy said as she whipped out a BAZOOKA.
“T-TRUCY!?!? DO YOU EVEN KNOW WHAT THAT DOES!?!?” Penny shouted.
“Looks like we’ll have to find out,” Trucy jested.
“It doesn’t look like we have much choice,” Makoto let out as a crowd of Rabbids ran straight for the Team Flower members.
“BWAH BWAH!”
“BWAH!”
“BWAH BWAH BWAH!”
“FIRE!!!!!” Trucy yelled as she shot the bazooka.
What came out was just a small Bob-omb. Reuben’s jaw dropped seeing how small the projectile was. Even Makoto froze, as if she was prepared to die by the hands of these Rabbids. Once the Bob-omb landed right where Trucy wanted it to…
KABOOOOOOOOOOOOOM!!!!
The air had cleared, and multiple Rabbids had fainted. Makoto, Penny, & Reuben coughed. Trucy had been knocked back, as she was on the ground from the impact of that explosion. The Rabbids got up, but some were painted blue because that Bob-omb was actually a paint bomb.
"Bwah...?" One of the non-blue Rabbids said, seeing one of the blue Rabbids.
The white Rabbids immediately backed away from the blue Rabbids, as the blue Rabbids kept trying to regroup with them. The white Rabbids kept running away, as Penny, Makoto, & Reuben all watched.
"So these things are bigoted too? Yeesh, what aren't these guys?" Reuben remarked.
“Trucy! Are you okay!?” Penny asked.
“Never been better,” Trucy got up and dusted herself off.
“You are something, Trucy,” Makoto smiled. “I’m sure that will get us enough points.”
“You all better thank me once we win too!” Trucy teased. “You would have all been dead if it weren’t for me, ‘kay?”
“No need to rub it in, Houdini,” Reuben bantered back. “We get the gist.”
Wario scoured the plains, looking for his treasure. He felt a fire in his mind, how dare those Rabbids steal HIS hard earned money. When he gets his hands on one of them, he was going to…wait was that? In the distance, was a Rabbid dressed as Peach laying on a couch that was stacked on top of a whole mountain of gold and riches.
“Bwah bwah bwah!” Rabbid Peach bragged as she took selfies with her new-found riches.
“WAH-T ARE YOU DOING WITH MY MONEY!?” Wario exclaimed.
“Hmph, bwah,” Rabbid Peach waved Wario off.
“You runt! WHEN I GET-A-MY HANDS ON YOU, I’LL MAKE SURE YOU REGRET CROSSING-A-ME!!!”
“Bwah bwah bwah,” Rabbid Peach spit a raspberry at Wario, as if she was saying “Bet.”
Wario climbed up the tower of riches and got up to the couch. He threw a punch Rabbid Peach’s way, but she dodged. He threw another punch, she dodged again. Wario then tackled the Rabbid, causing the both of them to roll down the tower and down a hill. Both were punching and kicking each other. Eventually, they both landed right at some random house. Wario ran to the kitchen and grabbed some pans.
“Try this, for size!” Wario threw some frying pans at the Rabbid.
“Oof, bwah, ooof!!!” Rabbid Peach groaned as she got hit by the pans.
Rabbid Peach then took out an arm cannon of her own and shot multiple energy blasts at Wario. Wario felt as if he had gotten shocked at various parts of the body as Rabbid Peach fired some more blasts.
“Hahahahahaha! Bwahbwahbwahbwah!” Rabbid Peach mocked her opponent.
Wario then took some mustard and sprayed it right at Rabbid Peach’s eyes.
“BWAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!”
“How do you like-a-that, CHUMP!” Wario then shoulder-bashed Rabbid Peach through the wall. “Looks like-a-Wario wins!”
Just as Wario was about to walk away, he got a message from Daffy.
“Wah-t could the duck wah-nt?” Wario muttered.
The message read, “Do you know how much deep crud you’re in? The social media is going BONKERS over you!”
Wario texted back. “Wah, how bad could it-a-be?”
Wario opened the Mushroom Kingdom’s social media site and immediately saw for a bunch of people spreading the apparent news that Wario had a bodypillow of Bowser.
“WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHH!?!?” Wario screamed. “WAH-T’S A GOING ON!? HOW COULD…”
Wario then saw the initial post that was from Rabbid Peach. The post was that selfie Rabbid Peach took of her and the treasure pile she got from Wario, but in another pic she was holding a Bowser bodypillow that had ‘Property of Wario’ scribbled on it.
“No…” Wario then got down to his knees. “CURSE YOU, RABBID PEEEEEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAACH!!!!!!!!”
Judy & Waluigi both hid behind a series of blocks as Bwario & Bwaluigi were shooting Bob-ombs all over the place.
“Bwahaha!” Bwario laughed before saying some gibberish to Bwaluigi.
“Bweh?”
“Bwahbwah!”
“What’s our game plan, Waluigi?” Judy whispered.
“Plan? Waluigi’s just gonna camp out here!”
“Come on! We can’t just hide here forever!”
“You’re right! Waluigi will sneak out and leave those two to the rest of the chumps here.”
“Weren’t you telling me that I was being hopeless, Mister Number One?”
Bwaluigi heard Judy & Waluigi bickering and pointed right at the series of blocks they were hiding at.
Bwario let out a big “BWAAAAAAAAAHHHHHH!!!!”
Judy & Waluigi both broke out into cold sweats as their minds raced with thoughts on what to do.
“Looks like Waluigi will have to take care of all this, don’t-a-die, long ears!” Waluigi whipped his two pistols out.
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Judy: I’m getting why Usopp can’t stand this guy now. Of all the people I’ve met on this show, Waluigi has to be one of the slimiest, rude ones here. I have no idea what he thinks he’s doing here, but none of it seems like a good idea to say the least.
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Waluigi jumped up and shot his two energy blasts at Bwaluigi. Waluigi landed right out in the open and he taunted his Rabbid counterpart loudly.
“WAHAHAHA! YOU THOUGHT YOU COULD DEFEAT WALUIGI? WELL, THINK AGAIN!” Waluigi exclaimed.
Bwaluigi roared as he ran right up to his counterpart, whose pupils shrunk.
“No hard feelings, right?” Waluigi asked.
“UARGH!!!!” Bwaluigi slammed the Warp Pipe he was carrying down onto Waluigi, flattening him.
Judy took out her carrot rifle and aimed it at Bwario. She landed three carrot shots right at the Wario doppelganger, making the latter angry.
“Bwah!” Bwario slid to a smaller cover and shot tons of projectiles at Judy.
“Ow ow ow!” Judy then tried to move to another block, but Bwario landed a critical hit on her, launching Judy backwards.
Judy gritted her teeth in humiliation as Bwario laughed at the officer. Right before Bwario or Bwaluigi could finish their deeds…
“URSARING! HAMMER ARM!”
“URSAAAAAA….” Paul’s Ursaring jumped forwards, arm glowing, and slammed it right down onto Bwario. “RING!!!!!”
Paul walked forwards when Bwario had been knocked out. He then glared at Bwaluigi, in which the latter screamed and ran away at the sight of Ursaring.
Judy got up, “Oh…Paul…”
“I didn’t come to save you, if that’s what you’re thinking,” Paul told Hopps. “I’m only here for the challenge, that is all.”
Waluigi jumped up, unflattened himself, and ran right up to Paul, jabbing a finger at him.
“WAH!? And you’re by yourself? Please, those two imposters were clearly your first defeats, how much could you have possibly…” Waluigi then looked over at a mountain of Rabbids in the distance.
“Wah….”
“Took care of those little freaks,” Paul told Waluigi. “How much have you two got done during that time?”
“Th-that’s none of your business, alright?” Judy butted in.
“Hmph,” Paul walked off. “Whatever.”
“THE CHALLENGE IS OVER! WARIO REPEATS THE CHALLENGE IS OVER!”
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Judy: Ohhh-kay, so things don’t look good right now. It’s been about…an hour! And Waluigi & I spent all of that time running away from those Rabbids dressed as him and Wario. If we lose because of this….I’m going to need to find a reason for people to vote Waluigi out, and it won’t be easy to convince them either…
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
The cast had gathered back over to the Wario Cruiser. Wario had assigned Mona & Jimmy to count all of the Rabbids that each team had defeated.
“129, 130, 131,” Jimmy counted.
“Wow, you guys sure got a lot done during that time,” Mona sweatdropped.
“Let’s speed this up, already!” Wario blurted. “I need to get the co-I mean…get to the next island as fast as possible!”
“Way to be subtle, Wario,” Makoto rolled her eyes.
“Don’t rush me, yo, I’m tryin’ the best I can.” Jimmy told Wario off. “132…”
What nobody noticed was that a presence was creeping up behind the lot of them. Usopp turned around and froze. He could only squeak as he kept tapping at Qwark. Quark was too busy looking in the mirror to notice anything though. The shadow got larger and larger until.
“Wah? Who’s-a-that fatso?” Wario pointed at something.
“AW!?” Qwark tossed the mirror away. “Why I NEVER! You work hard for this physique and THIS is the compliment you get? Unbelievable.”
“No…Qwark….look…” Marcie tugged on Qwark’s spandex suit.
What was now floating in front of the contestants was a big Rabbid with a mustache. This Rabbid wore a powdered wig, an Enlightenment style attire, and had a transparent underside with a gramophone inside. This was…
The Phantom of the Bwahpera (or The Phantom for short).
“EEEEEEEEEEEEEKKKKKK!!!!” Usopp panicked.
“You have got to be kidding.” Olivier said in annoyance.
“What is this!? Some kinda freakish Bunnelby-Dusknoir mix?” Paul raised an eyebrow.
“PLEASE! I am much more than some lower class Pokemon!” The Phantom spoke up. “You think you have defeated all of the Rabbids here? Well, you’ve got another thing coming!”
“WHO ARE YOU!? AND DO YOU WANT A BUTT KICKING!?” Wario’s vein showed as he raised as his fist.
“Butt kicking? Wario, you can’t even get any new Land games! How can you match my fire?” The Phantom mocked as some random music started playing.
“Don’t tell me he’s gonna do a musical number,” Marcie groaned.
“Humph!” The Phantom began. “How pathetic that you masquerade your accent to be like that of Mario’s!”
“WAH!?” Wario exclaimed. “HOW DID YOU-”
“Wait, that accent ISN’T real!?” Usopp yelped in shock.
“They say imitation is the sincerest form of flattery,” The Phantom began to sing. “In the case of Wario, said imitation is what I would call an abomination.”
“WAH!? WARIO WILL SHOW YOU AN ABOMINATION!”
“Heart full of gas, mind more rotten than the bare-a$$!”
Wario’s jaw dropped as Waluigi & Reuben started laughing at the host.
“It’s WARIO! Wario Land such a cult classic, but they were so lame, you had to resort to microgaaames!” The Phantom sung as he pulled out copies of every Wario Land game and threw them away.
“Such a crooked personality that you have, it’s no wonder that in terms of friends in the Mushroom Kingdom, you are COOKED!” The Phantom pulled out a picture of the whole Mushroom Kingdom gang before marking a red X on it with a marker.
Wario clenched his teeth in rage as the Phantom glared back.
“And now you and your victims have finally met your end. Just let me catch my breath and I’ll high C you all harder than I did Mariooooooooooooooooooo!”
The Phantom struck a dramatic pose as multiple Rabbids applause the performance. Olivier, Marcie, & Paul looked at the oversized rabbit with a blank expression. Qwark let out a sigh as it ended.
“I was so hoping for a second verse,” Qwark lamented.
“Same here champ,” Reuben took a bite out of a random sandwich. “Really coulda laid it in better on Wario.”
“WAH!? YOU CAN’T HAVE ALL LIKED THAT!?” Wario exclaimed.
“I think with some more special effects,” Trucy considered. “This could be a complete show stealer! A national treasure if you will!”
“Wahahahaha!” Waluigi laughed. “All of this is-a-so true!”
“Grrrrrrr, well guess what, I command all of you to send that puffed up snob-a-packing!” Wario ordered.
“Oh, you lot think you can beat me?” The Phantom boasted as he then snapped his fingers, causing the area to darken, as a spotlight shined on the opera singer.
Four Valkyries and Two Smashers burrowed out of the ground. Most of the contestants moved out of the way as the Valkyries all started shooting. Waluigi & Usopp went behind one big block, and they looked at each other.
“HEY! GET OUTTA HERE, STICK NOSE!” Waluigi scolded the sniper.
“I WAS HERE FIRST, YOU KNOW!” Usopp argued.
“AAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHH!!!!!!” The Phantom sent an wave of echoes as he let out a high C.
This wave clashed right with the block destroying it, which left Waluigi & Usopp exposed.
“WAH!” Waluigi yelped.
“EEK!” Usopp added as the duo ran away.
Marcie had an arm cannon of her own as she went through some white pipes. From that height, she was able to gun down a Valkyrie.
“One down, one big guy to go,” Marcie said to herself as she saw a sentry-bot on the platform she was standing on.
She pressed a button that made the sentry go right to The Phantom. But before it could, a Smasher ran right in its direction.
“BWAAAAAAAH!” the Smasher crushed the Sentry to pieces.
“It was a worth a try,” Hot Dog Water shrugged.
Judy & Qwark fought of two Valkyries themselves while this all happened. The Valkyries pelted the both of them with multiple bullets.
“GAH! OOO! ACK!” Qwark shouted every time he was hit with one of them.
“These guys are a real pain,” Judy let out in frustration. “Over here, Qwark!”
Judy & Qwark went right over to a metal wall as they caught their breaths.
“Right, so what do we do?” Judy asked.
Qwark chuckled with his mouth closed, “Oh Hopps, I’ve got an amazing, spectacular plan! And I’ll need the help of your weapon.”
“Huh, you really know what you’re doing then,” Judy mistakenly thought.
“I ALWAYS know what I’m doing. After all, I am a galactic superhero.” Qwark smiled.
“URSARING! FOCUS BLAST!!!” Paul yelled as Ursaring sent a blue ball of energy right the two Valkyries’ ways.
This blast sent the two Rabbids flying as Paul ran over to a white pipe. This pipe led him to a much higher plain than everyone else besides Marcie. This gave him just enough of a view to get a good aim for The Phantom.
“MAGMORTAR-” Paul sent out Magmortar to deal another attack, but The Phantom turned his head towards the trainer.
“AAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!” The Phantom sent another wave that hit Magmortar, knocking it out.
“What the,” Paul scowled.
The Phantom then sent another wave as Paul went right back into the pipe.
Olivier ran ahead, striking down one of the Smashers with her blade. The other Smasher roared it whacked Olivier with the block it was carrying around. Olivier landed on her feet, albeit weakly, and clashed sword to block with the smasher.
While this happened, Trucy ran ahead and fired the bazooka at The Phantom.
“....in the spotlight!” The Phantom sang before his face became a warming plate for a Bullet Bill.
BOOM!
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Trucy: Whoops, looks like I was a bad girl, huh. I’d bet daddy’s glad he doesn’t have to deal with me having a bazooka back home….unless…
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Usopp: Okay, Trucy is starting to kinda scare me with how many tricks she can pull outta her sleeve. Lemme put this down on my…
Usopp patted his pants and started frantically looking around.
Usopp: MY FEAR LIST! IT’S GONE!!!! I COULD’VE SWORN I HAD IT RIGHT ON THE DOCK….oh…it must have gotten blown away. Man, I worked hard on that thing too with all of my 790,999,998 fears. I hope…an evil scientist didn’t get his hands on it or something.
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
The lights went out as a spotlight rested on The Phantom. The Phantom had a microphone ready for the second verse.
“What an utter joke, Wario!” The Phantom sang. “You only shined in your first appearance in Mario Land!”
Wario then argued. “Wah! Says-a-you! You only shined when you were still a dumb stupido Rabbid!”
“Your comebacks are like that of a hack’s!” The Phantom spun around and teleported next to Waluigi. “Oh Poor Worthless Waluigi, can never Smash with everyone else! Only place you belong is in…the…traaaaash!!!”
“WAH-T ARE YOU DOING GOING AFTER-A-ME!?” Waluigi exclaimed.
“Captain Qwark, tell me how your franchise is fairing,” The Phantom sang to Qwark. “Oh right, it’s just as dead as Rayman’s!”
“I’ll have you know, I plan to release my autobiography VERY SOON!” Qwark argued. “I don’t need any back talk from you.”
“But what is truly so tragic, is that of our beloved contestants,” The Phantom shined the spotlight on the contestants. “Truly so desperate, that they’ll bare through all this torment, for what? Money? Humph, The Phantom will riiiiiiiiiise, and you all will faaaaaaaaallllllllll!”
The lights went back on as The Phantom starting flying all over the place. He sent echo waves right at the contestants as they all dodged his attacks. Usopp & Waluigi hid inside a bush, as the bush kept shaking.
“Get you schnozz out of Waluigi’s face!”
“Get your foot off of my leg!”
“Wah! I asked first!”
“I don’t have time for this!” Usopp peeked out of the bush. “SPECIAL ATTACK: STICKY STAR!!!”
The projectile flew right at The Phantom, but the latter did another high note, deflecting the star with the wave.
“Damn,” Usopp growled.
“HA HA!” Waluigi taunted. “Better luck next time, Mr. Poke Someone’s Eyes Out With Your Schnozz!”
“I’M JUST GETTING STARTED ALRIGHT!” Usopp fired back.
Walter waited for the perfect opportunity while hiding out in his shelter.
“Looks like it’s finally time,” Walter thought as he then threw multiple meth block at The Phantom.
Little did White know, Makoto & Trucy were planning something too.
“So, when the Phantom sends one of his waves,” Trucy whispered to her friend. “You’ll jump off of Mr. Hat, and fire this blaster at him.”
Makoto admired the arm cannon she had and said, “Sounds like a plan to me, Trucy!”
The Phantom went flew back down to the ground, and held in a breath. He was about to let it all out for one final attack, but right before he could do it, Makoto leaped forward, cannon on arm.
“TAKE THIS!!!” Makoto exclaimed.
Not just that, but some meth blocks hurled right towards The Phantom as well.
“You won’t take me out so easily, Makoto,” The Phantom laughed. “For I am a national treasu-”
KABOOOOOOOOOOOOOM!!!!!!!
The explosion settled as the cast all coughed.
“You know, I could do with less explosions from here on out,” Makoto commented.
“You’re tellin’ me,” Reuben added. “Is that guy down now?”
The Phantom spun around in a dizzy state. Eventually, he collapsed onto the ground, and Team Flower started cheering.
“We have to have won this one!” Trucy said excitedly, “After all, Paul probably got us tons of points.”
“It was just business,” Paul replied bluntly. “Don’t expect me to carry you once we’re in the merge.”
“Well, Wario,” Marcie then turned over to the host. “You might as well just confirm their win.”
“Wah?” Wario scratched his butt. “Wario lost count, since both teams got the final blow….”
“Wait, both teams?” Usopp asked.
“Yeah, dumbass,” Walter had emerged from hiding. “I was the one who beat that Shakespeare wannabe. It WAS me! Not that cop girl!”
“Oh…great,” Marcie rolled her eyes.
“Don’t give me that, traitor,” Walter glared at the girl.
“......you’re all up for elimination, WAH!”
….
….
….
….
“WHAT!?!?!?” The contestants yelled in unison.
“HANG ON! SO WE DID ALL THAT, FOR NOTHING!?!?” Reuben exclaimed, rasing his fist in outrage.
“Wah! This-a-show is rigged, I tell you!” Waluigi complained.
“You have got to be kidding,” Olivier remarked.
“And not just-a-that…but this will be a double elimination to make this occasion REALLY special.” Wario told everyone.
“WHAT!?!?!?” The contestants yelled in unison again.
“Wahahahahaha! You’d all best get voting!” Wario then motioned for Penny to follow him.
Wario & Penny went to Wario’s office after the Wario Cruiser took off again. They both took their seats as Wario then pulled some statue out. Penny looked at it in confusion.
“This is an immunity idol, WAH!” Wario told the inventor. “If you get voted out tonight or any other night, then you can use this to save your hide.”
“Wario…I can’t….this is cheating!” Penny argued.
“CHEATING? That’s wah-t the reality show biz is about, Penny.” Wario told his employee.
“You know what, I’ve had it!” Penny got up. “I’ll tell everyone about how this show’s a scam! This has gone on long enough.”
As Penny went for the door, Wario then told her. “I guess you don’t wah-nt a job then.”
Penny froze, as she felt her heart skip a beat.
“I could fire you if you don’t take part in my scheme.” Wario mocked the redhead. “It’s your choice.”
Penny sighed as she sat back down.
“I thought you would fold, wahahahaha! Now let’s get this elimination ceremony started!”
Marcie surfed the web on her laptop, until Makoto approached her.
“Hello, Marcie,” Makoto smiled. “It’s been a while since we’ve talked.”
“Oh, M,” Marcie beamed. “What’s up, girl? Still going after Walter?”
“Well…”
“Yeah, your alliance with Trucy & Judy’s pretty much screwed now,” Marcie looked down slightly.
“Don’t worry about that, we’ll get through it somehow,” Makoto assured her friend. “I’ve come because Trucy and I are doing a movie night in the theater.”
“A movie night?” Marcie said in slight surprise. “This seems like a random time to do this. What’s the occasion?”
“I thought that since the merge is approaching,” Makoto told Hot Dog Water. “We might as well make the most of the time we all have left. You in?”
“Sure, why not,” Marcie shrugged. “Good way to celebrate that psycho, Doflamingo, finally being out.”
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Hot Dog Water: You know, if it wasn’t for Wario being a douche and exposing M’s alliance like that, I’d try joining in on it too. It doesn’t seem like a good idea now, I already have enough of a target on my back from being in Walter and Doflamingo’s alliances after all. Paul does have a point though….maybe I do need an alliance…
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Walter looked at Makoto’s wanted poster, and then looked at the screen of the computer in an office in the Wario Cruiser. The website Walter was scrolling was the Tokyo News, and said news was an old article about, you guessed it, the Phantom Thieves. Walter made an ‘o’ shape with his mouth.
“Oh my god…” Walter hushed. “That little…”
Walter quickly took out his phone and called a connection he had made just before he signed on the show. This connection was only made right when Wario had popularized multiversal travel, and Walter was now calling that man on the phone.
“Yes…I need you to find a way to stop that Phantom Thief girl from targeting me! I don’t care how you do it, just do something.”
As Walter got off the phone, his glasses shined as the reflection from the computer’s screen hit them.
“That should take care of her,” Walter thought to himself.
Makoto, Trucy, Marcie, and even other contestants such as Qwark, Usopp, & Reuben all sat in the movie theater room as they watched the yakuza movie Makoto had talked so highly about.
“YEAH! GIVE ‘EM SOME OF THAT!” Usopp cheered.
“AND SOME OF THOSE TOO!” Trucy yelled out as well.
“Man, you guys sure love your movies,” Reuben said, barely paying attention.
“Eh, it’s not something that is of caliber to me, but I suppose it will do,” Qwark critiqued.
“Come on, Qwark, you gotta admit this is cool!” Trucy pouted slightly.
The movie ended and the contestants all talked.
“Man, talk about a good flick,” Usopp praised the movie. “You guys sure have good taste.”
“Now we HAVE to watch the next 3 movies, and see the whole Airyu saga play out! The second one is not so good, but the THIRD one…” Makoto fangirled hard over those movies. “You will all just have to see it for yourselves.”
“Now you’ve got me all pumped up,” Trucy bounced up and down. “The twist that Yuzuki was Airyu’s brother all along shocked me to my core! I have to see more of these movies.”
“It wasn’t my thing, personally,” Marcie added her two cents. “But I’m glad you guys had fun.”
Makoto sighed, “Well, I guess the next elimination’s coming soon.”
“Don’t worry, miss,” Qwark said to Makoto. “No matter what happens, it’s a feat to have made it this far…”
Everyone in the room was stunned. They were all actually speechless that Qwark might have said something actually wise for once. This surprise fade once Qwark had followed it up with…
“....with me being here. Yes, I know, but I’m sure you will all feel honored you get to compete with Captain Qwark!”
“Yeah, thought that seemed too good to be true,” Reuben snarked as he walked away.
“Tell me about it,” Hot Dog Water snarked too.
All of the contestants were now at the storage room as Mona waited for them.
“Well, this is a surprise, seeing both teams here.” Mona smiled. “You have all done a good job making it this far, but now, we will see who will truly make the merge tonight. I’m sure I don’t have to explain things again, so let’s do this.”
“Usopp.”
“Qwark.”
“Penny.”
“Reuben.”
“Armstrong.”
“Hot Dog Water.”
“......
......
......
......
......
......
......Trucy.”
“......
......
......
......
......
......
......and Walter!”
“Walter!?” Makoto exclaimed.
Walter smirked, “Well, well, we’ll see if you last this elimination…” Walter then whispered, “Phantom Thief.”
Makoto’s blood went cold as her eyes went wide, “...what?”
This was interrupted by Mona, “Judy, Waluigi, Paul, & Makoto, all of you are on very thin ice right now. We’ve only got two statues remaining, and two of you will be eliminated. Now, the final statues, and the two are going to the merge are......
......
......
......
......
......
......
......
......
......
......
......
......
......
......
......
......
......
......”
Judy & Waluigi both sweat bullets as Mona stayed silent. Makoto’s hands fidgeted as the Phantom Thief tapped her foot. Paul just leaned back, hands in pocket, eyes closed.
“......
......
......
......
......
......
......
......
......
......
......
......
......
......
......
......Makoto!”
Makoto let out a huge breath that she had been holding. She went to join the rest of the mergers, but crossed her fingers for Judy.
“And the second person safe is….
......
......
......
......
......
......
......
......
......
......
......
......
......
......
......
......
......
......
......
......
......
......
......
......
......
......
......
......
......
......Waluigi!”
“WAH!?” Waluigi exclaimed, “I mean…of course Waluigi is safe!”
Paul rolled his eyes. “There has to be a mistake.”
“Paul & Judy, you have both been eliminated.”
Walter wanted to scream right now. How could PAUL be out? His last alliance member left…and he was out. White couldn’t though, less he want to expose the fact that his alliance is…or rather was…still kicking.
Judy sighed in disappointment, but quickly perked up, “Looks like it’s the end of the road for me.”
Makoto’s shoulders slumped. “Judy, but, what about…”
“Don’t worry, Makoto,” Judy then whispered to her teammate. “I’ll work with Looker to take Wario down. An elimination won’t stop me. You still have Trucy & ‘C’ anyways. I believe in you three.”
Paul then said. “Tch, you’re all morons, and honestly, I can’t wait to not have to deal with any of your sorry butts anymore.”
Paul looked down, and then looked towards Marcie. “Maybe not all of you are, Marcie, if I’m not gonna win this…you’d better at least give that druggie what he deserves. I’ll be watching, so you’d better not fail me.”
“Gee, just goodbye would be enough,” Marcie remarked. “I know you’ll miss me.”
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Trucy: Man, this is hard….I don’t really know anyone in Team Mushroom that well. Paul has proven himself to be a big threat with how he took down all those Rabbids.
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Waluigi: Get the rabbit cop outta here! She and those teenagers are planning something for sure! Only Waluigi is allowed to cheat here!
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Qwark: As much of a shame as it is, I have to vote off Hopps. She is currently our biggest threat with that little alliance of hers. That Makoto girl is a close second, but Hopps seems rather feistier if you catch my drift.
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Reuben: Finally, I can get that jerk Paul out! Arrivederci, my guy.
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Judy & Paul walked to the dock.
“Goodbye, Makoto, Trucy!” Judy waved to the duo. “Make sure to…I can’t say it while I’m out here in front of him…”
Wario grinned at that comment, in fact, he seemed to be in a really good mood now that Judy was out. Wario was smiling and humming a happy song to himself.
“We’ll pick up your slack,” Makoto responded. “You have my word, Judy.”
Meanwhile, Paul glared at Walter. “What’s with the face? You realized you’re screwed?”
“No,” Walter kept his composure, “I was just getting warmed up. So long, brat.”
Judy & Paul got on a smaller boat, and sailed away from the Wario Cruiser.
“Congratulations, losers!” Wario told his contestants. “You’ve all made the-a-merge. Teams are no more, better pick up the pace, chumps!”
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Usopp: Doflamingo’s gone AND I’ve made the merge? Things keep getting better and better! The Great Captain Usopp cannot slip up now, Nami, Zoro, Chopper, everyone, make sure to cheer for me, ‘kay?
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Hot Dog Water: I never expected I would get this far, being a normal girl in a freak show like this. Things will only get harder from here, but I think I’ve got it handled. I’m prepared for whatever Wario will throw our way.
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Trucy: I made it! I made it! I won’t disappoint you, daddy! I’ll win that cash prize for the both of us! Just wait and see.
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Walter: You may think I’ll fold now that the brat got eliminated, but I’ve got other ideas now. I don’t need him anymore, especially with that Phantom Thief’s alliance being the number one target right now. I’m as good as gold.
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Penny: Wario, you won’t get away with this. I will spill the beans at some point, whether you like it or not. Things went too far in New Donk City, so I want to put an end to all of this.
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Meanwhile, far away, after the episode ended, a redhead girl was on her laptop while sitting at a cafe in Diamond City. What was on screen was all of the security camera footage of the Wario Cruiser. This girl was Makoto’s friend, Futaba.
“Nothing yet,” Futaba murmured to herself.
The cafe only had a few people in it, as it was nighttime. Futaba kept her phone on her as well, just in case any of her fellow Phantom Thieves texted. Eventually, Futaba closed up her laptop and headed out of the cafe. What the navigator didn’t expect to find outside, was a shadowy figure. She bumped right into him too.
“Oh, I-I-I’m sorry, sir!” Futaba stuttered.
“.....” The figure stayed silent as it looked at some type of picture.
“I’ll be going now, sorry to bother you, mister,” Futaba turned around.
“....you’re not going anywhere.” The figure said as he then grabbed Futaba by the arms.
“HEY! LET ME GO YOU CREEP!” Futaba struggled.
“Sorry, but I can’t do that,” The mysterious man told her as some light revealed…some stitching? “You are too valuable an item to let go of.”
“Wha-” Futaba then felt a cloth get forced onto her mouth.
Futaba’s vision started to blur. She kept struggling and trying to hold on, but eventually, everything went black.
20th: Mokey Mouse (Mokey's Show) [Team Flower]

MERGE
Notes:
Let's gooooooo, we're at the merge now. Paul is an elimination where I wanted to throw that curveball. I thought these elimination were becoming too obvious, so I'd do one that is significantly less obvious. Futaba seems to have been taken by some mysterious man. Just wait until Makoto finds out. Anyways, the next chapter will be the second aftermath segment, so you can submit questions for Taco, Ted, Judy, Paul, and even Doflamingo. See you all then!
