Chapter 1: Prologue
Chapter Text
The camera panned to a giant red stadium, and it was filled with people from all over the multiverse. Confetti rained down as a giant screen was right front and center with a strange logo on it.
"Welcome one and all to the introduction of Total Drama Emerald!" An orb shaped robot announced to a stadium of various different kinds of people.
"I paid nine dollars for this?" One audience member asked.
"I paid ten!" Another audience member added.
"I'm Orbot and this is Cubot," Orbot gestured to another robot who looks like him but in the shape of a cube. "And we are pleased to be the announcers for this special occasion."
"Oh man, I never thought I'd see the day we'd be the host for a reality show!" Cubot said while sounding like he was on the verge of tears, of course he couldn't cry because he's a robot.
"Fool, I'M the host here!" A gravelly voice scolded the cube shaped robot. "Nobody would watch a show with you nincompoops as hosts!"
"Doctor, please, you can't reveal yourself just yet," Orbot tried to reason. "Just let Cubot & I get to the part where…"
"JUST ANNOUNCE ME ALREADY! THE BOTH OF YOU HAVE ALREADY SCREWED THIS UP ENOUGH!"
Both robots flinched as Orbot then cleared his throat, "Pardon the interruptions everyone, but it's time for us to announce our host. It's the one, the only…"
"The evil genius and the man with the master plan…" Cubot added.
"DOCTOR EGGMAN!"
Fireworks went off as Dr. Eggman descended up from a podium. He went down the stairs to fake applause from a machine. He bowed as he then stepped up to the microphone. The doctor was then joined by a young girl with white hair and a bearded man in an outfit similar to Eggman's, but it was purple.
"As you see, it is I, Doctor Ivo Rrrrrrrrrrobotnik!" Eggman 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!"
Eggman gestured to the girl, "I will be joined by my interns, Orbot & Cubot, and my daughter, Sage."
Sage kept silent, as the other man suddenly walked up to Eggman.
"ACK!" Eggman yelled out, "STONE, what have I told you about sneaking up on me like that?"
"My apologies, sir," Stone apologized. "I thought you could enjoy a latte with steamed Austrian goat milk."
"Are you mad? Of course I would enjoy a latte with steamed Austrian goat milk, I LOVE THE WAY YOU MAKE THEM!" Eggman snatched the latte from Stone as the former turned towards the audience. "Now all of you insignificant beings at home may apply for my marvelous show and it will truly dethrone that lesser show. HO HO HO HO!"
Meanwhile, a certain blue hedgehog was watching all of this play out from afar.
"Heh! Cooking up another plan eh, Egghead?" The hedgehog said to himself. "Somethings just never change."
Well, this was gonna be later, but I kinda got too excited about this idea. So yeah, here's the spinoff of Total Drama Gold. I haven't been able to get a chapter out at all this month, so I just decided to do submissions for this spin-off. I probably won't start it until I get further into TDG, but I'll say that I hope to be able to get to writing the next Gold chapter by the end of June. Challenge ideas are taken for this fic too.
Well enough talking about that, the rules here are…
No real people
No NSFW characters
And no characters already competing in Total Drama Gold (and Wario, Spongebob, & various WarioWare characters are ineligible as well due to them having prominent roles in TDG.)
Anyways, here's the first character;
Strong Bad (Homestar Runner)
Chapter Text
Hey all, HOLY SHIT THE REVIEWS ARE ALREADY PAST 30! Yeah, it was really hard to choose the characters here, the honorable mentions list is probably gonna be a loooooong one. Anyways, I think I've decided the perfect cast for this fic and thank you all for submitting.
Strong Bad (Homestar Runner) "me"
Aang (Avatar: The Last Airbender) "G-man 2.0, Guest"
Thorn Harvestar (Bone) "G-man 2.0"
Hatsune Miku (VOCALOID) "HedgeFighter210"
Bowser (Super Mario) "HedgeFighter210, LoveMeNormally"
Dee Reynolds (It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia) "Mr V"
Franky (One Piece) "G-man 2.0"
Boomstick (Death Battle) "MemeKing the Third"
Aigis (Persona 3) "CYOAFAN"
Lindsay (Total Drama) "MeeMeeHeart777"
Bluster Kong (Donkey Kong Country Cartoon) "GoodGuyGary"

Arle Nadja (Puyo Puyo) "Echoslook"
Dave the Intern (Sonic Boom) "Guest"
Since I did it last time, here are some honorable mentions.
Donald Duck (Disney) "Master of Luis"
Just barely missed the cut, he honestly would've been a good mirror to Gold having Daffy, but alas, I already have two Disney characters here.
Patrick Star (Spongebob Squarepants) "Luckyhill2"
Damn, kinda surprised a Spongebob character missed the cut twice now. Guess Patrick just kinda ended up being low priority here.
Ike (Fire Emblem) "MemeKing the Third"
Looks like a really cool character, but I don't really know much about FE.
Franziska von Karma (Ace Attorney) "MemeKing the Third"
Tough contest between her or Kay, went with Kay in the end since the latter's never been in one of these fics before. (At least not that I know of.)
Scar (The Lion King) "AluInt"
Same problem as Donald with not wanting too many Disney characters. There's also Randall filling the Disney villain void too.
Kobeni Hisgashiyama/Himeno/Aki (Chainsaw Man) "CYOAFAN, mohaumoseki49"
Just recently got into this series, but I've only seen the 12 episodes of the anime. So yeah.
Roy Mustang/Riza Hawkeye/Izumi Curtis (Fullmetal Alchemist) "G-man 2.0, Neon-Trainer 03"
Great characters, but I guess I just ran out of space.
Haru Okumura (Persona 5) "ChaosBlade327"
Had Aigis chosen over her.
Stu Pickles (Rugrats) "1602jaw"
Stu what are you doing? Making chocolate pudding. It's four o'clock in the morning, why on Earth are you making chocolate pudding? Because I've lost control over my life
Kevin McCalister (Home Alone) "AluInt"
Felt like there was getting to be too many kids here, and Lucy is already taking the little shit role.
Luigi (Super Mario) "HedgeFighter210, mohaumoseki49"
He almost got in, but LoveMeNormally sold me on Bowser. Sorry, Luigi.
Notes:
There's others, but this list is long enough as is. I won't start this story until I'm much further into Total Drama Gold, see you all when I get there.
Chapter Text
A two-tailed fox named…Tails was in one of his workshops, fixing up the Tornado. This workshop was located at the Mystic Ruins, a place that was, as you guessed it, full of temples and ruins. This place had a pretty sizeable jungle on top of that. While Tails put in the finishing touches, the blue hedgehog, Sonic, zipped into the small building.
“Hey, bud!” Sonic said upon entrance. “How’s the ol’ Tornado comin’ along?”
“It’s looking to be a big improvement over the previous version,” Tails answered, “I still need to test this baby in the air, but I’ve got it handled.”
“Have ya heard the news, li’l bud,” Sonic tapped his foot. “Eggman’s setting up some tacky reality show.”
“Seriously!?” Tails turned his mini TV on.
“Ho ho ho!” Dr. Eggman cackled as the camera started rolling, “Welcome one and all to Dr. Eggman’s Total Drama Emerald! The grrrrrrrreatest and most magnificent show you’ll ever gaze your eyes upon!”
“Total Drama? Like that show Amy signed up for?” Tails put his finger on his chin. “This seems out of character for Eggman. What could he be planning?”
“Sounds like we’ve got another adventure upon us,” Sonic stretched his legs. “You in?”
“Definitley, Sonic!” Tails said as both he and Sonic exited in pursuit of their arch-nemesis.
“Ho ho ho!” Dr. Eggman cackled as the camera started rolling, “Welcome one and all to Dr. Eggman’s Total Drama Emerald! The grrrrrrrreatest and most magnificent show you’ll ever gaze your eyes upon!”
The camera lowered to the ground as Eggman yelled, “CAN’T YOU NUMBSKULLS DO ANYTHING RIGHT!?!?”
“Sorry boss,” Cubot apologized. “But someone isn’t letting me preform my camera man duties!”
“My apologies, Cubot,” Orbot replied. “But I’m fairly certain the doctor appointed me as camera man.”
“I’ll get one of my beebots to do the camerawork since YOU TWO APPARENTLY CAN’T DO ANYTHING RIGHT!” Eggman yelled as the robot duo flinched.
Technical Difficulties, please stand by.
Eggman got back on the air as he said, “Now that that’s taken care of, I’d like to introduce you all to my Egg Carrier 2.0! It’s just like my old one, except even bigger with more content inside it, however, I wouldn’t want to spoil the surprise!”
The Egg Carrier 2.0 looked like the Egg Carrier, but much bigger, and with much more open space inside. As opposed to the red color scheme the first one had, 2.0 had a much more greenish type color scheme with gray accents lining around it. The Egg Carrier 2.0 was currently docked at an airport, where most contestants would arrive by taxi.
“Father, my sensors are calculating the chances that Sonic will intrude upon our show.” Sage appeared to tell Eggman.
“I knew that rodent would put his nose where it doesn’t belong,” The doctor replied. “I had that sorted out.”
A duo consisting of a chicken robot and a round green robot hid behind a boulder. This was in the middle of a sunny grassy field with blue skies, so a pretty generic locale.
“Listen up ya bucket up of bolts,” The chicken, Scratch, jabbed his finger at the other robot. “You’d better not mess all this up for me!”
“For you!?” The green robot, Grounder, said in offense. “I’m the one whose gettin’ that promotion!”
“As if! You’re always the one screwing everything up!” Scratch literally butt heads with Grounder, “Look, when Sonic runs through this area, we’ll activate this trap and SQUISH HIM WITH A SAFE! HAHAHAHAAAAAAAAAA!”
“That’s a terrible plan!” Grounder argued. “What’s better is to dig a hole and cover it up with leaves and make him fall. This is why I should be head of the S.S.S.S.S. Squad!”
“That plan sucks, drill for brains! That’s why I’m more leader material than you’ll ever be!”
“However, I’m glad you asked, Sage, because it seems that our first contestant shall be arriving soon.” Eggman looked at the sky and saw a certain giant turtle riding a clown copter.
The turtle jumped down and make quite a splash when landing. The ground shaked a little as this intimidating figure made his entrance.
“Gwahahahaha! It’s been a long time hasn’t it, Ivo?” The reptile laughed.
“Bowser, it’s certainly a surprise to see you here.” Eggman grinned.
“Waitwaitwait, boss, you know this guy!?” Cubot asked with a raised voice.
“Yes, we’ve been to the Olympic Games together.” Eggman reminisced. “Or more accurately, we caused big stirs in them. Hohoho!”
“You see, Ivo,” Bowser said. “I’ve entered to show the whole universe to not mess with the powerful, the pleasurable, and respectable King Bowser! I don’t know anything about this Gold show, but I know I could give all those schmucks a run for their money.”
“Quite the confidence there, old chum.” Eggman replied. “You shall wait here for the rest of our competitors to make an appearance.”
Suddenly, a kid who looked just like Bowser appeared on the aforementioned’s back, “Heck yeah, papa! Let’s destroy our competition!”
“JUNIOR!? WHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE!?” Bowser scolded his son.
“C’mooooooon, papa!” Bowser Jr. complained, “I wanna compete here with you! I don’t wanna just watch you wreck up the competition from home.”
“Grrrrrr, fine, but if you get all bruised up again, you’re goin’ straight home.” Bowser relented.
The Koopas walked to the bleachers, but not before Bowser Jr. took notice of a certain AI girl. “Hey, who are you?”
“...that’s none of your concern,” Sage coldly replied.
“Are you some kinda robot girl? That’s so cool!” Junior asked as Sage just ignored him.
The next contestant glided into the airport using some type of staff. He was bald, had an arrow tattooed onto his head, and wore an orange & yellow robe with brownish pants. On his shoulder was a lemur with black and white fur.
“Looks like we’re here early, Momo.” The monk said to his lemur. “Hey, my name’s Aang, and it’s nice to meet you guys.”
Momo chirped as well, which could be interpreted as a greeting.
“Looks like a complete chump to me, bwahahaha!” Bowser laughed to himself.
“I humbly welcome you, Aang,” Eggman smiled a really fake smile. “It says here you call yourself, The Avatar?”
“Yeah, where I’m from, most people can only bend one element,” Aang explained. “But I can bend all four of them, man, it sure is advanced here.”
Aang looked at the Egg Carrier 2.0 with wide eyes. All of these technological advancements were not anything like what he was used to in his home dimension.
“Wel, aren’t you quite the golden child,” Eggman said almost bitterly. “I don’t blame you for being impressed by my genius however. If my IQ wasn’t that of 300, I would surprise myself.”
“I’ve seen my friend, Sokka, make these types of contraptions, but I’ve never seen anything like this at home!” Aang then jumped up in the air and landed in front of Orbot.
“Oh, uh, hello.” Orbot said awkwardly.
“Woooow,” Aang knocked on Orbot’s head, the former having a wide smile on his face. “You’re made of metal! This is so cool! If only Sokka & Katara were here to see this.”
“Sheesh, kids acting like he’s never seen technology before.” Bowser huffed. “Looks like his dimension needs to get with the times.”
Orbot & Cubot cheered as Aang airbent a bracelet into spinning, the later having his mouth open to a goofy smile.
“It sure will be fun having this kid around!” Cubot commented.
The next contestant was a woman with brown hair tied up into a ponytail and glasses. She looked around the Egg Carrier 2.0 with a scornful look on her face.
“Welcome, Julie Powers!’ Eggman bowed. “I grant you permission to marvel at my magnificence.”
“Yeah, if you think that’s gonna $#&* ing happen, you’re outta your mind,” Julie told off the doctor while everyone had their jaws wide open. “What? What are you all #%*!ing looking at me for!?”
“H-how did you do that!?” Orbot asked.
“Interesting,” Sage whispered. “How does she make that strange noise?”
“What? Don’t tell me you all can’t handle some God#@^% swearing!” Julie yelled.
“No, I meant that whole…”
“How are ya doing that beeping noise!?” Cubot finished.
“What beeping noise!?” Julie pointed at Cubot. “Are you calling me a %^& ch!! Is that what you’re saying!? I know it’s true, but it still (*^$ing hurts.”
“AH! NO NO NO, I WASN’T SAYING THAT AT ALL!” Cubot exclaimed.
“Look, lady! I’m not gonna let ya talk that way when there’s kids here, got it?” Bowser butted in.
“Screw off, turtle soup! I can talk however I ^%&*ing want!”
“Why don’t we all calm down and…” Aang tried to mediate.
“All?” Bowser felt a rage boil up inside him, “I’M COMPLETELY CAAAAAAAALM!!!!!”
“Oh, is the bald kid about to ^!*&ing preach to us? I’m not having it!” Julie walked to the bleachers.
“What a mouth that woman has,” Eggman grumbled after Julie sat down.
In the next taxi, was a woman with long red hair in a brown jacket.
“My, I can see this will be quite the interesting show,” She muttered.
“Queen Thorn Harvestar, it very much is an honor to have such royalty on our show,” Eggman welcomed.
“Hey!!! How come ya didn’t give me this much respect, huh, Ivo?” Bowser glared at the doctor.
“Yeah, what gives!” Junior added.
“Please, as if you’re any ruler to write home about,” Eggman snarked at the Koopa King.
“You don’t have to refer to me as queen,” Thorn told the cast. “I may be Queen of Atheia, but here, I’m just a normal contestant like the rest of you.”
“Wow, how &*%#ing noble of you,” Julie rolled her eyes.
Thorn raised an eyebrow as she looked at everyone else for an answer.
“We don’t know how she does that either,” Aang shrugged. “Sorry.”
“Oh my,” Thorn then looked at the Egg Carrier 2.0 and felt blown away at the very least. She knew of places that were more modern back home, but Thorn had never seen anything like that before.
“I know, it’s cool right?” Aang grinned. “Guess you don’t have anything like this at home?”
“No, not that I’ve ever seen.” Thorn grazed her hand on the side of the Carrier.
Julie checked her flipphone, seeing a message from a number she didn’t recognize saying “I can’t see the end of the horizon.” Julie furrowed her brow as she was about to delete that number before a blue haired girl with two long pigtails appeared out of the blue. Powers’ eyes widened as she dropped her phone in complete and utter shock.
“HATSUNE MIKU!?!?” Julie exclaimed, “THE &*^$ ARE YOU DOING HERE!?”
“Hi everyone,” Miku made a piece sign. “I’m Hatsune Miku!♡ I hope all of us can be bffs and have tons of fun!”
“Yeah right, pigtails,” Bowser huffed. “Sucking up to me might make me crush ya even less, but I ain’t makin’ any promises.”
“Aren’t you such a humble king,” Thorn glared at Bowser.
“Gwhahahaha! Glad we can agree on somethin’ there, Miss Queen.” Bowser laughed.
“That’s not what I meant,” Thorn shook her head as she turned to Miku. “Welcome aboard, my name is Thorn.”
“It’s so sugoi to meet you, Thorn!” Miku replied cheerfully. “Are you a fan of my work?”
“I’ve never heard of it,” Thorn said in an apologetic tone. “You see, my kingdom is pretty old fashioned.”
“Oh…” Miku gave Thorn a blank stare before whispering in a slightly definitely not-psychotic voice, “ Guess you’re going on the hit list then, tee-hee!”
“What was that!?” Thorn asked in a sharp tone.
“Oh, nothing! Just me being super kawaii! Hee hee hee!” Miku sat at the bleachers.
“Damn, Miku sounded bats&^* just now.” Julie said to the queen.
Next up was a round orange-ish yellow dog wearing glasses.
This dog looked around as he said, “Is this live right now?”
“Is it live?” Eggman chuckled, “OF COURSE IT IS, WHAT DO YOU TAKE ME FOR!?”
“It is! Hello Fetchers, it’s Ruff Ruffman, back at it again with another game show!” Ruff told the camera. “But one catch is that this isn’t Fetch since I blew all of my budget investing in crypto, so Blossom suggested I compete on this lesser show-”
“LESSER SHOW!?” Eggman grabbed Ruff by the neck (I know Ruff doesn’t have a neck! Ever heard of a figure of speech!? Lemme send you the link to my night school!), “Listen here, I’ve put hours into THIS show, and I will not be insulted by a mutt like you!”
Aang let out a breath as he said, “Guess it would be a bad idea to get on this guy’s bad side.”
“Heh, I respect the way Eggy doesn’t take any crud,” Bowser told the Avatar. “I’d already like to strangle that fleabag myself.”
Eggman let Ruff go as the latter said, “It’s great to be on TV again anyways, after my show got canned by the network, I’ve had to resort to becoming an ai bro, as the kiddos call it.”
“Moshi moshi!” Miku exclaimed, “You’re a star too? And you’re so kawaii! What is it like hosting a game show?”
“Ah, you see it’s real hard work,” Ruff bragged. “Such as it is with whatever you do…”
As Ruff went on, Thorn could have sworn Miku gave an evil grin as her eyes went low.
The next taxi then dropped off a young blonde woman wearing a red tank top and an orange skirt.
“Wow, it’s been a while,” The woman awed at the Egg Carrier 2.0. “And Chris, have you gained weight?”
“W-WHAT!? I’m Doctor Eggman, not that host you’re familiar with!” Eggman blurted out. “If you’re the one veteran here, you must be Lindsay.”
“The one in the…one?” Lindsay replied.
“I’m pretty sure the correct term is, ‘one in the same’.” Thorn corrected.
“Oh of course!” Lindsay snapped her fingers. “EEEK! W-what’s with the giant tortoise!?”
“Gwahahahaha! That’s the Great Koopa King Bowser, to you, young lady!” Bowser said mockingly.
“Yeaaaaah! And veteran or not, papa’s gonna slam you like everyone else here!” Junior added.
“Don’t mind them,” Thorn sighed. “They seem to be a little…you know. My name’s Thorn by the way.”
“Don’t worry about it, Horn,” Lindsay replied. “I’m excited to finally be competing on Total Drama again! It’s been so long.”
“Uh, it’s ‘Thorn’.”
Instead of coming out of a taxi, these next contestants popped in from a door that just randomly showed up. Coming out was a girl wearing a red poncho over a black unitard, and with her was an undead man in a black and white striped suit.
“The hell is this place, Lyds?” The undead man cursed.
“I don’t know, Beetlejuice, this doesn’t look like the Neitherworld anymore.” The girl, Lydia, replied.
“I dunno, it sure could be.” Beetlejuice commented. “We got a flying bald kid, a giant turtle, and a fat dog here, for God’s sake.”
“Hey! Don’t go making any comments about my weight!” Ruff said, offended.
“Welcome, my supernatural friends…” Eggman turned to Orbot, “YOU DUMBBOT! I TOLD YOU, I ONLY WANTED THE SUITED ONE!”
“I’m so sorry, boss!” Orbot said, panicked. “The girl was with him and Cubot & I couldn’t risk things…”
“Wait a minute, is this one o’ those reality shows?” Beetlejuice scoffed. “I told ya, I’m not into this shitty TV. But who’s that babe over there?”
Beetlejuice went up to Julie, who then socked the former in the face. “Get the ^&%* away from me, you perv!”
The exorcist’s head spun until he caught it, “It’ll be fun to cause some shit here anyways. Let’s do this, Lyds!”
“As a compromise,” Eggman told the strange duo. “The girl may stay, but like with Bowser and his son, you two are competing as one contestant. If one of you gets voted off, you’re both out, got it?”
“Got it, but I’ll warn you that Beetlejuice & I will not go down easily.” Lydia smirked.
“Heh, like that’ll make me lose, give me your worse, baldie.” Beetlejuice replied.
“This is certainly an interesting duo…” Thorn muttered to herself.
Up next was a tall slender man wearing a red jacket with a black shirt. This man got out of an old fashioned car as he then got one look at the cast and his jaw was dropped.
“What kinda freak show is this!?” He yelled out.
“Wait a minute,” Eggman looked at the list again. “I’ve heard of you, you’re Lupin III, aren’t you?”
“Guilty as charged,” Lupin put on a more confident demeanor as he said that. “Doubt you’ll be able to break me through these twisted challenges, as I am a master thief.”
“Whoa! Whoa! WHOA!” Ruff yelled out. “Time OUT! Eggman, you are not really going to have a wanted CRIMINAL compete on this show, right?”
“Of course, I will!” Eggman gloated. “This isn’t one of your little game shows on that kids channel, this is going to be a REAL show!”
All of a sudden, sirens could be heard outside, along with the call of a man screaming, “LUUUUUPPPPIIIIIIIIIIIIIINNNNNNNNNNNNNN!!!!!!!”
“Aw crap,” Lupin sighed in exasperation. “It’s pops.”
“What’s this noise!?” Aang covered his ears.
“That’s a police siren, genius,” Julie told the monk.
A detective (who oddly looked a lot like Lupin) in a brown coat with a fedora burst through the door of the airport. This was none other than Inspector Zenigata.
“LUPIN!!!! I’VE GOT YA RIGHT WHERE I WANT YA!” Zenigata exclaimed. “I ain’t lettin’ ya steal the cash prize for this show, ya hear me!”
“Aw c’mon, pops, maybe I just wanna take a little break,” Lupin put his hands in the air. “Guess ya always have to spoil the fun.”
“Grrrrr, I ain’t buyin’ it!’ Zenigata whipped some handcuffs out. “Now get over here or…”
Suddenly, Agent Stone appeared behind Zenigata’s back and handcuffed him. Zenigata looked and let out a yelp.
“Excellent job, Stone,” Eggman smiled. “This detective was becoming a real nuisance.”
“Anything for you, doctor,” Stone responded.
“WHAT THE HELL!? DO ANY OF YOU KNOW WHO THAT IS YOU’VE GOT HERE!?” Zenigata desperately yelled.
“Now, now, inspector,” Orbot replied. “You have the right to remain silent.”
“HE’S AN ESCAPED CONVICT, A FELON, A….” Zenigata has then tied to a rocket by Cubot before the former blasted off, “AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!”
“Bye bye, pops!’ Lupin waved. “I’ll get ya a souvenir while I’m gone. Take care.”
“What are we going to do about all the officers outside?” Sage asked. “I calculate that there are at least 20 of them.”
“I’ll get that take care of, hohohoho!” Eggman cackled.
Thorn then asked, “Excuse me for asking, Lupin, but was that your father?”
Lupin thought for a moment and said, “Y’know, I kinda wish he was now. It’d be much more fun to mess with him.”
The cops waited outside the Egg Airport for Lupin to show up. One of them thought they had heard Inspector Zenigata scream, but they passed it off as nothing more than their imagination. They waited a little while longer, until a trapdoor opened underneath them.
“Aw, SHIIIIIIIIIIIIIII-”
Next up was another young woman who made quite the entrance. She jumped out from the ceiling and landed on her feet while doing it. She had her hair tied up in a ponytail, an indigo scarf with a golden badge attached, and black short shorts with a satchel around her torso.
“And here comes none other than the Great Thief, Yatagarasu!” The thief proclaimed, “Now wasn’t that the coolest entrance you’ve ever seen?”
“Great Thief?” Lupin scoffed. “Sorry, pal, but there’s only room for one great thief in this show.”
“Ohoh, I see you’ve got a phoney here taking my name.” The proclaimed great thief smirked, “You may think you’re hot stuff, but even in the depths of night, when no other bird dares to take flight, one alone soars to shine the light of righteousness on the world's blight! And that one is me! For I am the Great Thief, Yatagarasu!”
“Yeah, yeah, we get it, you’re both some crazy kleptomaniacs,” Beetlejuice interjected.
“But you guys can all just call me Kay, ‘kay.” Kay grinned. “See you when I win, mister fake thief!”
“We’ll see about that, honey,” Lupin shook his head.
This next contestant could very well have made an entrance that outdid Kay’s, as a motorcycle rushed into the airport with a familiar theme song playing. Once this driver stopped, he jumped out, and struck a pose as he landed.
“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!”
“Dr. Vegapunk…” Eggman said under his breath. “I’ll have to meet this Vegapunk person myself someday.”
“Yo, what’s hangin’ all my broskis!” Franky greeted his fellow contestants.
“Aw man, that was so much better of an entrance,” Kay sighed. “Oh well, great thieves don’t always need some fancy props.”
“That was so cool!” Aang’s face lit up as he saw Franky’s entrance. “And your arms, are they all metallic!?”
“Yeah, what the baldie said!” Bowser Jr. added. “Where’d ya get that motorcycle, can I ride it!?”
“Junior! What about your old pops,” Bowser said in a definitely not jealous tone. “I can be cool too!”
“You get what you deserve, spiny,” Beetlejuice flipped Bowser off.
“Sheesh, talk about some real tech geeks,” Lydia commented.
“Yup, you’ve got it, kid.” Franky flexed his arms. “Never seen a cyborg before?”
“I’ve never heard of a cyborg,” Aang admitted. “But it sure sounds so cool!”
Lindsay then gasped herself, “A giant cyborg!? Can I like get your autograph!? I’ve always wanted to like see one in person!”
Julie felt like she got hit by a truck by Lindsay’s reaction to Franky, “Wait, a valley girl like you, liking giant robots!?!?”
“What does that do???” Bowser Jr. pressed Franky’s nose.
That action caused the cyborg’s buzzcut to change into a pompadour.
“WOOOOOOOOOW!” Aang & Juniors’s eyes turned to stars as they looked in awe.
“Tch, big deal, that bucket of bolts can change his hair,” Bowser grumbled.
“Sounds like someone is a little jealous,” Kay looked smugly at the Koopa King.
“J-JEALOUS!? I’m not j-jealous! I’m just…critical…is all,” Bowser half-hazardly explained. “Too many shams these days. I’d bet that guy couldn’t breath fire like meeeeeeeeee….”
Franky was breathing fire in the air as Aang & Bowser Jr. both fanboyed all over that.
“WHAT THE HECK! HE’S STEALIN’ MY STYLE!” Bowser roared.
“Yep, totally jelly!” Kay laughed at him.
“I’LL POUND YOU INTO JELLY!”
“When’s that next contestant going to arrive already,” Eggman tapped his finger against his arm, until a purple reptilian like monster appeared. “ACK!! My, it sure isn’t an easy feat to scare me.”
“Tch,” the monster looked at everyone, especially at Franky showing off for the boys. “So this is my competition eh?”
“What’s it you,” Julie replied.
“Nothing, just thought this would be harder.” The monster cracked the knuckles of all his fists. “The name’s Randall, and you all better not forget it.”
“You don’t seem very talkative, like these last few contestants have been,” Eggman noticed.
“Why should I talk? All these suckers are gonna be grovelling to me by the time all this is over,” Randall explained.
“Big talk comin’ from a skinny little lizard,” Bowser huffed. “I could snap you like a twig right this second.”
Randall growled as he took his seat.
This next contestant was another mechanical person, this one being an android with the short blonde hair and blue eyes.
“Greetings everyone,” The android introduced herself. “I am Aigis, an anti-shadow suppression weapon.”
“Oh brother, another robot!?” Bowser rolled his eyes.
“Oh my! Now you look quite interesting yourself, madame,” Eggman seemed as giddy as he was with Franky.
“I am not for sale…if that’s what you’re asking.” Aigis deadpanned. “I am here to…find myself…that is all.”
“This cast sure isn’t like any that Chris has had,” Lindsay said to herself.
“It’s nearly identical if you look at all these fanfictions,” Beetlejuice replied, pulling out tons of paper.
“DON’T DO THAT!!!” Eggman yelled. “I REFUSE TO CLEAN UP AFTER YOU CONTESTANTS!”
Aigis sat next to Miku, and the latter said, “ Moshi moshi, are you from Japan too? We could be the bestest of tomodachi!”
“I’d love to,” Aigis replied. “Times haven’t been the best for me lately, but I hope this show will be a distraction from it. I am curious as to how organic beings feel about being on these types of shows.”
“Do you know anything about vocaloids by any chance?” Miku gave the android puppy dog eyes.
“I’m afraid I do not.”
Miku’s face went blank as Aigis got confused, “What’s the matter? You look as if you’ve seen a ghost.”
Aigis looked around a little more, until she saw Franky, who had just finished with showing off.
“Are you an android too?” Aigis approached the shipwright.
“Android? Nah, I’m a cyborg!” Franky answered. “Check these guns out, sis!”
“That is very impressive handiwork,” Aigis smiled. “Could you show me more features you’ve programmed into yourself?”
“Could I ever!” Franky grinned.
Up next was a short man wearing a red wrestling mask, “Good gravy, man, the traffic was just horrendous! Whattup, peeps, the name is Strong Bad.”
“It says on your application that you consider yourself the,” Eggman then read, “‘Coolest and baddest guy who’s ever lived?’”
“That is very correct! I am described by all the bros how cool, awesome, and really really hot I am!” Strong Bad bragged.
“I get the feeling that none of this is true,” Thorn deadpanned.
“Hey, no need to be jealous, lady,” Strong Bad replied. “I’m the real deal, and I will show you all up in this show!”
“Sheesh, talk about some overconfidence,” Lupin said smugly. “Looks like somebody’s gonna hafta have a slice of humble pie.”
“God, you’re the last person who should be talking,” Lydia told the thief.
“Hey, now, unlike that guy,” Lupin reasoned. “I can back up my words.”
“Ugh, what took so long, you fat blockhead!” A very young girl in a blue dress yelled at Eggman.
“Watch the weight comments, little girl.” Eggman said with venom.
“What was with all those police cars!?” The girl complained some more.
Lupin smirked as she said that.
“Not to mention, this competition looks pathetic!” The girl pointed at everyone.
“What did you say???” Bowser asked with clenched teeth.
“You think a big fat turtle…”
“FAT!?!?”
“An arrow blockhead, an ugly lizard, a robot lady, and all these other freaks can be competent at anything!?” The girl roasted everyone some more, “Even Charlie Brown would be better competition than you freaks!”
“I like this girl,” Julie smiled.
“Watch that mouth of your’s,” Randall threatened. “Because I could put you in the scream extractor in a heartbeat.”
“It’s a good thing Junior knows some manners, unlike that girl.” Bowser huffed after he saw Junior still admiring Franky.
“That’s enough, Lucy, go sit with everyone else before I strangle you.” Eggman glared at the girl.
“Eek, you really don’t wanna make doc made.” Cubot said in fear.
Next contestant dropped off was a purple snail with a green shell holding two suitcases.
“Sheesh, so this is the show I’m competing on?” The snail asked.
“Escargoon? What kind of name is that!?” Eggman said to himself before telling the aforementioned, “Welcome to Total Drama Emerald, Escargoon, I promise that this show will be worth the time.”
“I’d hope so too!” Escargoon replied. “I don’t know how that Kirby got into that other show over me, but it’s my time in the spotlight for sure!”
“I dunno, that Kirby guy’s cute and marketable and youuuuu’re,” Ruff droned as Escargoon gave the dog a death glare. “Hey, pal, I’ve worked in the show biz. I know how this works.”
“Whatever, the application for this better come with a money back guarantee.” Escargoon sat next to Randall as Lindsay looked at the both of them.
“Are you related?” Lindsay asked. “You both look so alike.”
“RELATED!? GET REAL, GIRLY!” Escargoon replied hostility.
“Yeah, I ain’t related to a weakling like that.” Randall pointed at the snail.
“Who are ya calling a weakling!?” Escargoon argued.
Next was a teenage girl, this time, having red hair, a blue skirt, a white shirt, and blue boots.
“Wow, you’re all a freaky bunch,” The girl bluntly said. “The name’s Arle Nadja and I will be taking home the cash, thank you very much.”
“Confident, are we?” Eggman mocked. “Careful, kid, cuz’ that confidence might bite you, hohohoho!”
“You gotta have the right attitude, after all,” Arle gave a peace sign. “Wouldn’t wanna be all mopey and stuff.”
“How sickeningly sweet,” Escargoon fake vomited.
“What was that!?” Arle glared at the royal advisor.
“Oh, nothing.” Escargoon laughed, “What I meant to say was…welcome aboard… so I can clobber you.”
Arle ignored Escargoon as she sat on the bleachers next to Lydia.
“Hiiii! Looks like we’re gonna be showmates!” Arle greeted.
“Uh, hi,” Lydia replied awkwardly. “My name’s Lydia.”
“You could use a little more energy than that,” Arle sighed. “Like, HEY! WHAT’S UP!!”
“Yeah, I’ll pass,” Lydia replied. “It’s nice to meet you anyways.”
Instead of a taxi, a limousine pulled up, and out walked an anthropomorphic ape with a balding head and a mustache. The limo left as the primate entered the room.
“Time to pack it all up, everyone,” The ape bragged. “For the clear winner has arrived.”
“Yeah, how original,” Julie rolled her eyes. “More ‘the winner of this game has arrived! You can kiss my @$& now.’”
“Ah but you see, I speak the truth.” The ape replied. “Because I am Bluster the Benevolent, the richest ape in all of Kongo Bongo.”
“Richest, huh.” Lupin smiled. “How rich are we talkin’ exactly?”
“That is none of your concern, you lesser Kong,” Bluster told Lupin off.
Lupin groaned, “Not a monkey mistaking me for a fellow monkey!”
“Oh brother, are you just full of hot air?” Arle asked with contempt towards Bluster.
“And were you raised in a barn?” Bluster fired back. “My, I’d hate to find out who never taught you your manners.”
“M-MANNERS!?!? DON’T LECTURE ME ABOUT YOUR STUPID ETIQUETTE!”
The Kong scoffed, “And it looks like I pulled a nerve there. Ha, wouldn’t be surprised if you went out first!”
Arle clenched her fists as the Kong took his seat.
Lydia looked at Arle, concerned, “Uh, are you okay, Arle?”
“Yes, just fine…” Arle grumbled.
“So this is the place,” A buff man wearing a sleeveless red vest with a matching baseball cap said in a very over the top accent. “Daaaaamn, Wiz would be going into full fanboy mode if he were here right now.”
“What the f^&* is up with your damn outfit!?” Julie asked being absolutely disgusted. “Is this just how Americans dress and sound like!?”
“Hey, I take pride in my heritage….other than my dad leaving me,” The guy said as he pulled out a suitcase that had multiple explosives inside, “He’s…wait Wiz isn’t here…well I’m Boomstick! …man it’s weird as hell doing this intro without Wiz.”
Eggman facepalmed hard, “I knew I should’ve accepted the scientist instead. Go sit with everyone else!”
Boomstick immediately approached Franky, as the two both grinned at each other.
“SSSSSSUUUUUUPPPPPPEEEEERRRRRR!!!!” Franky & Boomstick both flexed as they clapped their hands together in a firm handshake.
“Now THAT’S some great fuckin’ weaponry right there, Franky!” Boomstick complimented. “If only I could my hands on some of those missiles.”
“I appreciate it, broski!” Franky replied, “But these guns ain’t for sale. Yooooow!”
“So much masculinity that I could have a heart attack right about now,” Escargoon commented.
“I know right, man!” Strong Bad took a drink, “There’s only room for one super manly and super sexy man here, and that’s me.”
“That’s not what I meant,” Escargoon sweatdropped.
The next taxi dropped off just a normal ass blonde woman. Like, I don’t know how else to describe her really, she’s kinda basic, but her personality sure isn’t that though.
“Oh my God, it’s one of those nerdy conventions for losers!” The woman exclaimed. “I’m getting the hell out of here cuz I’m not about to be one of those bitches!”
She turned around before the taxi immediately left, “GODDAMMIT! I SHOULD’VE KNOWN TO NEVER TRUST REALITY SHOWS!”
The cast just looked at this crazy lady with blank stares.
“What’s going on right now?” Arle asked.
“I am incapable of comprehending this, myself.” Aigis admitted.
“Listen up, you assholes!” The woman told everyone. “One, that little girl’s dress is ugly as shit.”
“I’ll show you ugly.” Lucy pulled her sleeve up as if she were getting ready for a fight.
“And two, I’d better win that money, because I didn’t sit in that taxi for an HOUR while that driver’s breath smelled like an old lady’s fart passed through an onion to lose!”
“I’ve never seen such…imagination…before,” Aigis struggled to put her words together.
“That’s all very nice, Miss Dee Reynolds,” Eggman cleared his throat, “But why don’t you wait with everyone else.”
Dee went up to Miku, “Whattup, girl, your hair’s looking like Sully from Monsters, Inc. right now….”
“YOU KNOW SULLIVAN!?!?” Randall exclaimed.
“Sullivan?” Thorn asked.
“He’s the guy who ruined my life,” Randall said with deep hatred. “How do you know him?”
“Excuse me, but I’m not gonna let myself be cornered by something that looks like if a snake had a failed abortion with a chicken, and the baby was an accident from the backseat of the car.” Dee burnt the monster, hard.
Randall let out a choking sound as nearly everyone else was speechless at that insult, well Julie & Escargoon had a blank looks, the kids all scratched their heads at the commotion, and Bowser was covering Junior’s “ears” from all the inappropriate things Dee was saying.
“Is that the best you got, b&^%$?” Julie asked.
“What’s an…abortion?” Lucy asked.
Aang shrugged at Lucy’s question. Miku on the other hand, stared at Dee, menacingly.
“Hee hee hee hee, I don’t know who this Sullivan is,” Miku said sweetly. “But I appreciate the nice compliments about my hair!”
“Bitch, I wasn’t complimenting those pigtails of yours!” Dee rebutted. “I wanna recite that scene from Matilda with them!”
Stepping out of this taxi, was a large alien with four eyes and a pretty big nose.
“Well, well, if it isn’t Dr. Jumba Jookiba,” Eggman’s glasses gleamed. “I’m always glad to meet fellow evil geniuses.”
“To clear somethings up,” Jumba corrected. “I am no longer evil genius, I have retired from that long ago.”
‘What!?” Eggman said, disappointed, “Oh brother, another one to turn over to the good side. It was worth a try anyways.”
“Don’t worry, boss,” Orbot reassured Ivo. “There might be more evil geniuses out there in the multiverse.”
“What about that Dr. Wily guy?” Cubot asked. “Didn’t he and the boss get along?”
“Well of course,” Eggman answered. “But it’s always nice to have a few more additions to our crew, hohoho!”
“What about me, huh, Eggy!” Bowser cleared his throat. “With my 9,800 IQ, they call me Bowser the Brilliant!”
“Hah! As if!” Eggman laughed. “You’d be lucky to even have a double digit IQ, Bowser, let alone a four.”
“Yeah bro,” Boomstick added, “I even said this back in a past DB episode, I’ll believe it when you stop putting axes at the end of your bridges.”
Bowser & Eggman both just stopped as they looked at Boomstick.
“DB?” Bowser looked to the doctor for answers.
“Bah, I don’t keep up with influencers and streamers,” Eggman said. “It’s all a waste of time.”
“It’s nothing important, just keep going.” Boomstick dodged the question.
“I’m merely here for science related reasons,” Jumba told everyone. “So don’t involve me in any romances or other wastes of time.”
“Aw c’mon, there’s no such thing as romance being a waste of time,” Lupin argued. “Don’t you have any pretty girls you’d like to ask out?”
“Not that I’d know of,” Jumba replied. “What kind of technology was used with that android over there?”
“I was programmed by the Specialized Extracurricular Execution Squad,” Aigis answered. “Also known as SEES.”
“Interesting,” Jumba simply said.
“Strange,” Eggman said confused, “The last contestant isn’t even listed, and all 21 other victi-I mean, lovely players are all here.”
“That last contestant is me!” A light blue anthropomorphic animal with buck teeth and a purple shirt appeared.
“Oh… Dave the Intern,” Eggman’s voice dripped with venom.
“That’s right, doctor,” Dave told Ivo, “And this time, I will prove that I’m the better villain than you! Muhahahahahaaaaaaa!!!! By the way, I’m on my break, so don’t bother me.”
“Father, should we really allow this Dave to compete?” Sage asked. “He might figure out our plans.”
“Oh, I’ll allow it,” Eggman grinned like a madman, “It’ll be fun torturing that nuisance, and it will be all the more satisfying when he loses.”
Suddenly, another anthropomorphic animal showed up, and this one was pretty much an edgelord wearing a mask. He had pointed boots, crazy looking white hair, and just generally looked like an edgy Sonic oc you would find on Deviantart.
“DOCTOR EGGMAN!” The jackal yelled, “I HAVE COME TO ALSO COMPETE! For I will show you all, who truly is the most powerful being in THE UNIVERSE!!!”
Eggman sighed, “Fine, Infinite, just stand over there while I register you.”
Infinite stood right where Ivo wanted him to be.
“Now as I was saying, that hedgehog humiliated me before and made me out to be a…WEAKling, but not anymore will I-” Infinite was then crushed by a Thwomp out of nowhere.
Boomstick bursted out laughing, “IT’S EVEN FUNNIER A SECOND TIME!!!”
Stone appeared after having pressed a button, “Got you that Extra Hard Extra Spiky Thwomp that you asked for, doctor.”
“Hohohohohoho!” The doctor laughed maniacally, “Infinite, please, there’s only so many wannabes of villains that I can take. Tata, have fun sulking on the ground.”
As the Egg Carrier 2.0 took off with all of the cast inside, Infinite got up.
“Urgh, pathetic!? He’s calling me WEAK!?” He clenched his fists. “No! I am not WEAK! I’m not…I’m not. I’m not WEAK!”
The jackal screamed, “I AM NOT WEAAAAAAAAAAAAK!!!!! UUUUUUURRRRRRRAAAAAAAAAGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!”
“URGH!” The Thwomp crushed Infinite again.
“Welcome one and all to my latest and greatest creation,” Eggman announced, “The Egg Carrier 2.0! A vast improvement over the first one!”
The interior of the Egg Carrier 2.0 was filled to the brim with machinery, green lights, robots, and most importantly, moving sidewalks. Franky, Aang, Lindsay, Arle, and Aigis all had their eyes wide open as they looked all around the place. Jumba was looking around too with an interested look on his face.
“Look at this, Momo!” Aang said excitedly to his lemur, “I’ve never seen mechanics like this before!”
“You said it, bro!” Franky replied to Aang as Momo leaped back a little upon seeing the cyborg. “This is very super!”
“Fitting headquarters for the Yatagarasu,” Kay commented. “Maybe I’ll be able to steal this whole airship for myself!”
“Not so fast, kid,” Lupin interjected. “If anyone is capable of stealing this thing, it’s me.”
“Oh yeah?” Kay argued. “You wanna bet on that, monkey man?”
“NO! Nobody is stealing this ship!” Eggman shouted at the two thieves.
“This ship looks shit straight out of Star Trek or some shit like that,” Dee yelled out. “What the fuck did you use to make this!?”
“Only the finest materials, Sweet Dee,” Robotnik answered Dee’s deranged comment.
“Can you say anything normal for 5 seconds?” Julie sassed.
“This is a very impressive interior, I will admit,” Aigis said.
“Now, Agent Stone shall enter to give the lot of you the grrrrrrrrand tour!”
Stone entered the room as he said, “Welcome one and all to the doctor’s latest creation. Now I shall give you all the grand tour.”
“Upon entering the Egg Carrier 2.0,” Stone began, “You will find yourself in the lounge area. We have supplied this room with a TV, a couch, table, and best of all, a coffee machine.”
“No no no! This organization is all wrong!” Bluster complained, “This couch is not nearly high class enough for someone of my stature, and these chairs are all the wrong color. Do you people even know how to design interiors?”
“I’m sorry, sir, but this is all the furniture the doctor would supply this Carrier with,” Stone said, unphased, “If you have any issues, then I’d suggest speaking to him.”
“Chris never gave us a coffee machine,” Lindsay said in slight shock. “This is like so futuristic!”
“Yeah, what gives,” Ruff let out in annoyance. “My show never had that amount of moola to even keep it going. How do you afford all this?”
“Maybe cuz your show is a baby show for baaaabies!” Junior told Ruff.
“Watch your mouth, kid. My show was the real hot stuff back in the day!” Ruff fired back. “Sure, all the contestants were kids, but…”
“But it’s a little baby show, that’s what.” Bowser laughed at the ex-Fetch host. “And it’s a cancelled show too. Tough luck, furface.”
“Please, let’s not fight,” Aigis jumped in. “This is only the first episode, we cannot let ourselves be divided already.”
“Nah, this is what makes all reality shows great!” Dee rebutted. “Bring on the bloodshed you motherfuckers!!!!”
Dave sighed, “These guys are like, complete freaks.”
“All questions will be answered at the end of our tour,” Stone announced, “So please hold off on it until we reach the end.”
“These are all of your rooms,” Stone directed everyone towards a hallway with multiple rooms inside. “This is where all of you shall be sleeping and engaging with your own personal business. Both of our two in one contestants will be given separate rooms for accommodation.”
“Not like that’ll stop me from planning some pranks with Lyds,” Beetlejuice scoffed.
“Heh, I know right, Beetlejuice?” Lydia laughed. “We’ll have to get onto that once this episode’s over.”
“Hey! D-don’t prank me, got it!” Arle nudged Lydia a little, “You’ll regret it once I get you back!”
Beetlejuice then turned to the camera, “Oh, this innocent soul thinks she can prank me?”
“Uh, who are you talking to,” Bowser asked.
“No one,” Beetlejuice winked.
“Here is where all of you will be eating,” Stone directed the cast to the dining area.
“Oh, has the cast arrived?” A round orange chef walked out as Escargoon yelled in a horrified tone, “YOU SIGNED THAT SORRY EXCUSE OF A COOK ON!?!?”
“You guys are just in time to try our new recipe!” A man wearing a blue jacket with an apron said as well.
“Oh no, I have a bad feeling about this,” Escargoon sweated.
“Allow me to introduce all of you to Chef Kawasaki & Mr. Jon Arbuckle,” Stone said to everyone.
“Please, the Koopa King can handle just about…HOLY KOOPA-KRAP! WHAT IS THAT!?!?” Bowser pointed to an unholy abomination that looked like some purple pig slop in a crockpot, and it smelled like a rat died and was left in a sewer for hours.
“It’s our special cow’s liver stew mixed with chocolate sauce!” Jon told everyone.
“May you allow me to try it then?” Aigis asked to the shock of everyone as she took a spoon out and sipped the ‘stew’.
Suddenly, Aigis dropped down to the floor as chaos erupted in the cafeteria.
“THEY POISONED THAT ROBOT CHICK!!!!” Bowser exclaimed.
“SOMEBODY CALL AN AMBULANCE AND NEVER LET THESE FUCKERS ANYWHERE NEAR A KITCHEN AGAIN!!!!” Dee shouted.
“I TOLD YOU ALL! THIS IS WHAT HAPPENS WHEN YOU EAT KAWASAKI’S COOKING!” Escargoon hollered.
“Everyone, calm down! Please!” Thorn called out to no avail.
Lupin slipped away as everyone was screaming and running around the dining area.
After a while, Aigis got up, “Ugh, never before have I thought an android such as myself could faint from food…”
“WHAT THE CRUD, ARE YOU TWO TRYIN’ TO KILL US!?” Bowser roared at the two cooks.
“YIPES!” Jon jumped up, “P-please mister monster sir, we worked hard on that recipe…”
“Please! Like you could’ve worked hard on this…this…” Bowser tried to find the words.
“&^%$ ing…dogs ^%$!” Julie finished. “Don’t tell me THIS is what we’re eating for the whole season.”
“You cannot treat us like bunch of prisoners!” Jumba yelled out. “That’s low even for all of YOU!”
“Wow, it like really is a Total Drama season now,” Lindsay reminisced. “Complete with the food that I’m like, not even sure is edible.”
“A whole Nova knows how long of Kawasaki’s cooking,” Escargoon whined. “Shoot me now!”
“We have some beverages too,” Kawasaki handed Aang a glass of…juice(?).
Aang made the mistake of drinking it, “Pfffffffft, this tastes like onion and banana juice.”
“That’s because it is,” Jon said excitedly. “Yummy in my tummy!”
“Even Meh-Burgers are more edible than this stuff,” Dave said.
Lupin snuck around, until he found an air vent. He kicked it open and tried to get in, but then, he heard some spinning noise. Suddenly…
“AAAAAAAAAAAACK!!!!” Lupin was hit by a rolling metallic ball, which revealed himself to be a robotic hedgehog with red eyes.
“I’LL CRUSH YOU!” The robot said.
“Oh, Lupin, you seriously thought I’d let you steal one of my belongings so easily,” Eggman entered the room. “I’d like to introduce you to the last of my interns and my grrrrreatest creation of all time, Metal Sonic.”
“Sheesh, doc, ya sure aren’t bluffin’ about your triple digit IQ,” Lupin pulled himself up. “But you’re wrong if you think I won’t come out of here with anything. There’s nothing in this universe I can’t steal.”
“I invite you to try, Lupin. You’ll regret it.” Eggman bragged. “Metal Sonic was employed by me to keep troublemakers, such as you, in line.”
Randall spent time analyzing his teammates, and scheming for whatever the game might throw his way. Julie shot Randall a sharp look, as the waitress approached him.
“What are you doing?” Julie asked skeptically.
“I’m just getting in the zone, little lady,” Randall replied as he slithered around her. “Gotta keep my strategy’s going, otherwise, I’ll end up as cannon fodder. I didn’t come here just to lose.”
“Uh huh,” Julie gave the monster a glare. “I’m not here to end up as some cannon fodder to your bull^%$#, capiche?”
“Whatever,” Randall spat out, “Just don’t get in my way.”
Stone took the cast to the dock as the last part of the tour. The dock looked similar to the first Egg Carrier’s dock (no duh) but there were beach chairs on it, there was a pool, multiple vending machines, and multiple claw machines. Two interns could be seen too, and they both looked pretty mysterious. One was yet another redheaded woman, and the other was a bearded man smoking a cigarette.
“And we’ve reached the end of our tour,” Stone finished. “Any questions before we end today off?”
“This aircraft is very advanced…” Thorn had some pretty wide eyes, having lived in an old-fashioned kingdom herself. “It will take a while for me to get used to all this.”
“Yeah, I have a question,” Dave raised his hand. “When are we finally gonna be on our break, man?”
“I’ll abstain from answering that,” The agent answered
“And when do we get split into teams?” Lindsay asked.
“The doctor will proceed with the teams next episode, for now, you should focus on getting rest.”
“Thank you for the tour, Agent,” Aigis smiled. “I’ll ensure that I get enough rest for our next challenge.”
“And I will spread the word of VOCALOID,” Miku said excitedly. “And everyone will love it to death!”
“Daaaayyyyuuuuuum, girl, you’re crazy,” Dee replied to Miku’s comment, but not for the reason you’d think. “Nobody wants to hear about your shitty singing career.”
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Eggman appeared in a dressing room of sorts, complete with two Chao figures on the desk, some Eggman symbols in the background, badnik parts also in the background, and the desk being a silvery white.
Eggman: And before we fully end this tour off, I’ll show off this feature called the confessional. This is where you can say your inner thoughts, feelings, and spill them all out. Don’t get too blubbery, I’d rather not make this show too melodramatic.
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Lupin: Heh, so the doctor has a back-up plan for my antics. Unfortunately for him, I’ve got a few tricks up my sleeve. I’ll steal all that valuable machinery way before that Kay girl can even blink.
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Lindsay: Alright, Lindsay, you’re an adult now. *sighs* The main reason I signed on in the first place was to show the world that I’m not just some dumb blonde anymore. I can be smart when I feel like it, and this is all a perfect opportunity to show everyone that I am now a slightly less dumb blonde!
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Boomstick: Hey! This isn’t the bathroom!! Man, ain’t it weird to see Bowser & Eggman actually get along? Considering in another universe………………
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
During the middle of the night, while the cast was asleep, Stone walked up to Eggman while the latter was sat at a desk.
“I brought you that Chaos Emerald, doctor.” Stone told Ivo.
“Perfect, Stone, I’ll have to give you a prrrrrrrromotion!”
Cubot appeared next as he said, “Mind spilling the deets over this plan, boss?”
Robotnik groaned, “I told you, Cubot, the plan is simple, but your microscopic IQ can’t even comprehend that. We’ll use this reality show as a front to search for the rumored Galactic Gem, and we’ll track it down using the Chaos Emeralds.”
“Not to be rude, boss, but how do you suppose the Chaos Emeralds will help?” Orbot asked.
Eggman held up a map as he stated, “It states in the rumor that this map with the Chaos Emeralds will lead us to the Galactic Gem, and I’ll take it, AND RULE NOT ONLY OUR UNIVERSE, BUT COUNTLESS OTHER UNIVERSES TOO! MUAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAA!!! Get me a latte, Stone!”
“On it, doctor!” Stone left.
“You’ll rule countless universes, huh,” Bowser had suddenly entered the room, startling everyone else.
“How long have you been standing there!?” Eggman said accusingly.
“You’d better not be plotting to take the Mushroom Kingdom, Ivo,” Bowser threatened. “Cuz it’s mine, ya hear me?”
“Why don’t we strike a deal, old chum,” Eggman held out a hand for a handshake. “We could form an alliance, and take that Galactic Gem for both of our benefits!”
Bowser thought about it, and had the image of him and Princess Peach getting married in his head. The Koopa King’s eyes turned to hearts as he imagined that.
“Gwahahahaha, I don’t know anything about some gem, but I’ll take ya up on that offer, doc!” Bowser shook Eggman’s hand.
“Hohohoho! Excellent, it’s been far too long since the last time we’ve teamed up.”
Notes:
Welp, here it is, the first episode of Emerald. Dunno when the first challenge will release since my primary focus is still TD Gold, but I decided to post the first episode now. It looks like Bowser & Eggman are already plotting some shit, and so are various contestants as well. Another reminder that I am open to challenge ideas/general story ideas for this fic if you wanna post any, and I'll catch you all next episode whenever that comes.
