Chapter Text

Hello! Brachy here =D

Since I’ve managed to gather a cast (as usual, 8 canon Toons and 8 OCs, 2 of them are mine) of unsuspecting victims for Dandy’s show… I’ll just you know… reveal the cast two by two. One OC, one canon Toon.

As usual, OCs will have their owners/creators credited, and canon Toons will have Qwelver credited as their owner/creator. I have drafted a little elimination order for Distractors VS Extractors… as well as All-Stars, but that would be subject to change.

Also, contestants will be revealed with a random number generator, and six contestants are revealed on the Dandy’s World wiki… so check them out.

Without further ado, here’s a little roadmap for when the contestants are revealed:

S1E8: Big, Evil, Menacing, Red Ball

S1E9: Musical Math Murder (oops)

S1E10: Pairs of Despair

S1E11: Memories Hurt, Words Fail

S1E12: Uranium Suite Yourself

S1E13: The Final Games, Really!

S2E1: Bell Curved

Season 2 will probably be the final 13-episode season of the Million Tape Game.

Also, a little spoiler alert… a Toon from this cast will be given the James Costa treatment. (if you know you know)

Anyways, without further ado, here’s our contestants:

AND AS USUAL, ROLES/CLASSES DO NOT ACTUALLY EXIST, BUT THEY’RE GOING TO BE SPLIT UPON THAT AS PART OF THE SEASON’S THEME. KEEP IN MIND THAT SOME TOONS CAN PLAY AS BOTH DISTRACTORS AND EXTRACTORS.

CONTESTANT INFORMATION

LANCE CELDRUS the Young Dragon

Rarity: Uncommon

Class: Distractor

Owner: @David & Friends!/@GreenSylveon10

Information: Lance is the second/third youngest Toon of the Dandy’s World cast, only being older than Toodles. Extroverted and cheerful, he enjoys learning new things and is competitive. He doesn’t spit fire, and has a really high appetite and metabolism… little does he know, Dandy only let him into the show for some unfinished business.

Comments: Yup, LORE! I won’t be spoiling much about why Lance is here but… it has something to do with a future season… and the Incident. (Lance had nothing to do with it, but someone he’s close to does)

RODGER the Magnifying Glass

Rarity: Uncommon

Class: Extractor

Owner: Qwelver

Information: Rodger is one clever detective, always observant and focused on any case he is in. However, he can come across as nosy sometimes, often interviewing/interrogating other Toons. Despite that, he cares a lot about his peers, being a confidant for Glisten. Will Rodger find the winning strategy and snag the missing prize, or will he fall for a red herring?

SPECTRA PHAENIDAE the Ghost Spider

Rarity: Main Character

Class: Extractor [me guess]

Owner: @CoolCatYeehaw

Information: Spectra is not really the trusting kind of Toon, commonly coming across as mean. But if you somehow get close to her, she’ll show her more mischievous side, cracking jokes around you. Loves playing pranks and scaring people, and can shoot webs and scale walls like Spiderman… if she tries hard enough that is. Will Spectra add one more victory to her small web of connections, or will her indifference get in the way?

Comments: Oh, this will be a fun one to write =D. (smiles evilly in i have plans for her)

GOOB the Fluffy Craft

Rarity: Rare

Class: Distractor

Owner: Qwelver

Information: Goob is one excitable and friendly Toon, who knows that a hug can brighten someone’s day (he’s a hugger). He can be a little bit absent-minded at times and always looks up to her older sister, Scraps. (who just so happens to be one of the interns) Does Goob have his eyes on the prize… or a hug right into the Elevator of Shame?

Comments: He’s huggable and might annoy some Toons in the process, so he would also be a fun character to write. On a side note, Goob will not receive any intel/unfair advantage from Scraps, but Scraps will check in on Goob any time of the day.

RUBIX the Rubik’s Cube

Rarity: [idk]

Class: [idk]

Owner: @ImVeryCool334

Information: Rubix is Vee’s co-host, and is way more friendlier. Also talks a lot like Elvis Presley. Will Rubix find the correct solution, or will he continue being second place?

Comments: I’m really happy that I could get an OC from ONE OF THE BEST FANFIC WRITERS I’VE MET. I’ll try to show him as much love as I can

COAL the Pet Rock

Rarity: Rare

Class: Distractor/Support

Owner: Qwelver

Information: Coal is Bobette’s trusty pet rock, always helping the Christmas Toons spread gifts and Christmas cheer! He isn’t so excited about the holidays, though… and is way more well-behaved than Pebble, and has some beef with Lance. Will Coal scout the million tapes, or get lost in the way?

Comments: Oh, Coal and Lance’s interactions will be fun to write! Also, I do have an evil plan for both of their eliminations :D

JONATHAN the Marshmallow

Rarity: Uncommon

Class: All-Rounder

Owner: Brachy08 (that’s me!)

Information: Jonathan is one adventurous Toon, enjoying going camping with his friends and his trusty pet S’more! Easily approachable, but easily spooked at the same time, he is sure to have a fun time in the Million Tape Game, but will he successfully survive the competition, or will his flame die out?

BASSIE BLOOMINGTON the Basket

Rarity: Main Character

Class: Support/Distractor/Mr. Beast

Owner: Qwelver

Information: Bassie is friendly, but very insecure about her Main Character status, especially around a certain… chocolate bunny? But either way, she is sure to spring in her step, collecting pressed flowers as a hobby. But will she… uhh… win the million tapes, or will she prove to be a nothing burger?

Information: Bassie will have lots of fun on the Million Tape Game, and by that… I mean an entire arc.

DARKSION the Stone

Rarity: Main Character

Class: All-Rounder

Owner: @LongT123456

Information: Dandy’s long-time rival and main antagonist of this show, Darksion’s commanding presence is further supported by his bossy persona. However, he can be friendly with other Toons, especially Astro, Cosmo and Shelly… and talking with Rodger of some… secrets. (his hair is said to harbour some superpowers) Will Darksion prove to be a huge threat in the game, or will his antagonism or whatever cut him short?

Comments: I’m so, SO HAPPY HE GOT IN! This baby is going to get lots and lots of love during his time on the Million Tape Game. Also, really cool to have the creator of the Dandy Files in this God-forsaken show, and he’s made models of a few season 1 contestants, including sha-Lightning!

TOODLES the Eight Ball

Rarity: Uncommon

Class: All-Rounder

Owner: Qwelver

Information: Toodles is the youngest Toon in Dandy’s World, always wanting to help out her rather… older fellow Toons. Close friends with Lance and another Halloween Toon, this aspiring detective is also seen close to Rodger. Will Toodles prove that any Toon, no matter how old, can win the game, or will her dream get cut short?

Comments: Sorry Lance, but you’re not the youngest contestant this season :D. Either way, they will interact a lot, despite being on well… separate teams. Oops, did I just say that? Teehee… >:)

SMORES the Pet S’more

Rarity: Common

Class: All-Rounder

Owner: Guess who’s back again, that’s right, it’s ME, bitch!

Information: Smores is one cute pet s’more! Always found at the weirdest spots possible and slightly… unnerving. Never far away from his sidekick and owner, Jonathan. Will Smores stick it out to the end, or will he be lost in the wilderness?

CONNIE the Ghost

Rarity: Uncommon

Class: Extractor

Owner: Qwelver

Information: Connie is one cheeky ghost, always on the prowl for pranking other Toons! Also can see in the dark and is a nightlight, two perks of being a ghost. Has a huge tendency to possess random items she finds out of pure boredom. Will Connie float away with the million in hand, or will she get busted in the act?

Comments: Connie will be a fun one, trust. I’d say, she has more to offer than the saboteur from season 1.

JUNE the Calendar

Rarity: Rare? (my guess)

Class: Distractor

Owner: @Articfuzz

Information: June is a calendar who loves drawing and has an interest on when things are created. Close friends with Shelly and Vee. Will June mark her victory, or her own elimination?

BOBETTE CAROLYNN the Bauble

Rarity: Main Character

Class: All-Rounder/Survivalist

Owner: Qwelver

Information: Bobette is a cheerful bauble (and Lightning’s crush), always spreading gifts and holiday cheer during the end of the year with her pals and trusty pet rock, Coal. Will Bobette wrap the winning present, or will she end up on the naughty list?

Comments: lol lightning not in same season as bobette. Also, they will eventually meet in the competition.

SPARKS

Rarity: [idk]

Class: Distractor?

Owner: @Icysalamender

Information: Energetic and pretty quick, she loves helping others and is really kind. Her hobby: Making mac and cheese. She unfortunately keeps setting the oven on fire whenever she bakes.

FLUTTER the Butterfly

Rarity: Rare

Class: Distractor

Owner: Qwelver

Information: Flutter is one cheerful and friendly butterfly, despite her inability to speak. She is ready to make more friends during her time in the Million Tape Game! Will Flutter finally make a new connection, or will she stay silent forever?

Chapter Text

Dandy: Welcome back to another thrilling season of the Million Tape Game! Before we start, let’s do a quick run-down of what happened on season 1, in no particular order: Shiloh & Bros references, microphone sidelines half the cast, Pebble gets forced into the game, and a Squid Game finale that is sure to get angry fans to argue with each other… Anyways, sixteen hot new contestants are going to take to the Projector Room for the first time… and NO SURPRISES. I MEAN, SIXTEEN NEW TOONS! Anyways, our Toons will be split into two teams based on their strengths during those runs-

Twisted Goob emerges from the Elevator of Shame…

Dandy: CUT-

Technical difficulties screen… followed by a continuation.

Dandy: And will have to battle each other for the most glorious prize: ONE. MILLION. TAPES. Who’s going to be our next millionaire? Find out, right here on… the Million Tape Game 2: Distractors VS Extractors!

[intro]

Dandy: Is Shrimpo around? Hope not!

Dyle: We’ve locked him inside the Office just in case he tries anything.

Cutaway Gag — Shrimpo is tied to a chair with his mouth duct taped. He shakes the chair, screams muffled in anger

Dandy: Awesome! First toon: Goob.

Goob casually walks out of the Elevator of Shame and finger-guns Dandy with his large hand.

AUDITION TAPE:

Goob: What’s up, Dandy! I’m Goob… and I love to give others… even my fellow contestants hugs! Come here, camera!

Goob pulls the camera towards him, causing it to suddenly break

Goob: Come here, Dandy!

Goob hugs Dandy tightly

Dandy: Let me go… please…

Goob: Oh… sorry.

Dandy: Great… (sarcastic) I’m sure you’ll make it very far.

Goob:…Thanks, Dandy!

Goob sits on a bean bag, waiting for the other contestants

Dandy: Our next Toon is… Jonathan!

AUDITION TAPE:

Jonathan is holding the camera like a selfie, while in a forest.

Jonathan: Hey, Dandy, I’m Jonathan! One thing that I’m good at? Surviving in the wilderness. My buds and I love going camping often, so we tend to stay overnight in the-

Raihan: DANDY is a SCUM-SUCKING LYING-

Jonathan: (pushes Raihan aside) That’s one of them! I’m also participating with my lil guy, Smores! Right, Smores?

Smores:…Ribbit, croak. [Riya is a parasite, glad you moved on Connor.]

Fiyero (in the background):…Who’s Riya and Connor?

Jonathan: Anyways, catch you later!

Dandy: Hey, Jonathan!

Jonathan: Oh… so we’re not in a forest or camp or something… that’s a shame…

Dandy: You’ll wish you’d stay in this Projector Room right after you see the challenges we planned!

Smores: Ribbit. [Dandy, your petals are fake]

Dandy: What? No… haha… that’s not true, Smores!

Smores: Croak? [Proof?]

Dandy: Trust me!

Smores uses Leer on Dandy. It is super effective. Dyle pushes Jonathan and Smores away.

Dandy: Phew… up next, June!

AUDITION TAPE:

June: Hi, Dandy! My name is June… and I love drawing! (shows a drawing of Dandy) I’ve taken an interest in this show since the Art challenge last season, so whatever challenges you have, bring it on!

June: Woah… wait a minute, I’ve been there a few times before during runs!

Dandy: Hi, June! You can… stop getting fixated on your surroundings.

June: Ok… I’ll just settle in with the rest, k?

Dandy: Whatever floats your boat. Speaking of boat, I’ve won one from ugh… Vee’s gameshow. Speaking of Vee’s gameshow, here comes Vee’s co-host, Rubix!

Disco music from the 70s starts playing as the Elevator of Shame opens. Fog exits the Elevator, as Rubix swaggers out of it, wearing sunglasses.

AUDITION TAPE:

Rubix is backstage, in Vee’s floor.

Rubix: Hello, Dandy! Name’s Rubix and I’m your next million tape winner. I know my co-host Vee and you have your… differences, but let’s set them aside. Cos I know my strategies damn well, and I know I’m clinching the sweet cold hard tapes!

June: Is that…

Jonathan: RUBIX?!

Smores: Ribbit? [The host that’s better than Vee?]

Rubix: Yup, hold the applause. I know… anyways, glad to meet you all!

Goob: Get over here!

Goob pulls Rubix in for a hug, as he pats the craft’s head.

Rubix: Teehee, you’re one friendly craft.

Dandy: Wow, what a show-stealer… I mean, what an entrance! Our next Toon is… Bobette!

Bobette exits the Elevator of Shame with Coal.

AUDITION TAPE:

Bobette is in a winter cabin, sipping some hot chocolate

Coal: Bwoof.

Bobette: Ready for some holiday cheer in your show? Good! Name’s Bobette, and I’m ready to deck the halls and the competition! I may look approachable, but there’s more to this bauble than meets the-

Lightning crashes the cabin, flexing his right bicep and blushing.

Bobette:…Not now. Anyways, I’m sure to make this competition twice as cheerful!

Dandy: Ho ho ho, if it isn’t Bobette!

Bobette: We’re ready to win the million tapes… and I’m spending it all on making gifts!

Coal: Bork.

Bobette: (sighs) Coal’s just a little upset-

Dandy: Look out, Million Tape Game… here comes Lance!

Bobette: Uh oh.

Coal: Grrrr…

Lance flies onto Dandy and tackle-hugs him.

AUDITION TAPE:

Lance: Hey guys! Lance the Young Dragon here! Yeah, you heard right! I’ll be the youngest contestant this season, and I’m ready to win!

Dandy: Heehee, hi Lance!

Lance: Where’s the money at? Cos I’m here to win-

Coal barks at Lance. Lance takes a step back.

Dandy: Anyways, speaking of youngest… think again, cos here comes Toodles!

Lance: Wait… what?

Toodles exits the Elevator of Shame, with Rodger holding her hand.

AUDITION TAPE:

Rodger: Greetings, Dandicius. My name is Rodger, or you can say… the Ultimate Detective!

Toodles: Playing Danganropa again, Rodger?

Rodger: Yup!

Toodles: Oh, I’m Toodles! I’ll be the youngest contestant, and winner!

Rodger: We’ll be an unstoppable duo, just you wait!

Dandy: Welcome, Toodles and Rodger!

Lance: TOODLES?!

Toodles: LANCE?!

Lance: Come here, Toodles!

Toodles and Lance hug each other, happy to see each other in this competition. Rodger chuckles a little.

Rodger: These two really get along… unlike Coal.

Dandy: Coal, need any treats?

Coal:…Bwoof.

Dandy: Anyways, can’t get too distracted here… cos… oh no…

Dyle:…Dandicius?

Dandy: It’s Dandy… and this is really, REALLY BAD.

Dyle:…(whistles in "I let him into the competition")

The lights dim as Darksion storms out of the Elevator of Shame, with rock music playing in the background.

AUDITION TAPE:

Darksion: Whatever, let’s make this quick. [censored] you Dandy, and Dyle, I’m winning the million… Name’s Darksion… and I see myself as a great team leader.

Dandy chuckles nervously, while Darksion just locks eyes with the flower

Dandy: Can we introduce the next Toon already?

Dyle pushes Darksion towards the other contestants, who are intimidated by his presence.

Dandy: Oooh, this Toon is really cheeky, it’s our very own poltergeist: Connie!

Jonathan: Pol…tergeist?!

Connie appears in front of Jonathan, scaring him and catching him off-guard. He screams in horror, so loud that glass can break.

Connie:…We live in the same floor. Get over yourself.

AUDITION TAPE:

Connie: Ok, let me make this quick… My name is Connie, I love scaring everyone in this place, and I can be slightly… say, cunning at times. Million tapes, here I come!

Dandy: What a haunting entrance from Connie, next Toon: Spectra.

Spectra walks towards Dandy, unamused.

AUDITION TAPE:

Spectra: I only submitted this for a dare, but here goes… Name’s Spectra, don’t expect me to go far or have any friends, whatever.

Dandy: Spectra, welcome!

Spectra: Ok buddy, now when’s our first challenge? It better be not boring.

Dandy: Wow, rude… Anyways, our next contestant is Flutter!

Flutter circles around Dandy, cheerful and elated to be on the show.

Dandy: Teehee, you’re one energetic butterfly!

Lance waves at Flutter, before… Flutter hits a wall.

Lance: Oooof… you ok, Flutter?

Flutter:…!

Dandy: That was uhh… quite the entrance! Next Toon, Bassie!

AUDITION TAPE:

Bassie: Hahahah… ok, so… uhh… My name is Bassie… nothing special, but I would be sure to make things a little… lively? I guess? Not sure how reality TV shows work but I can try…

Dandy: Hi, Bassie!

Bassie: Uhh… hi?

Spectra: Great, a nothing burger. Go, Dandy, cast literal air into the show! I believe in you!

Shrimpo storms out of the Office, somehow untied.

Shrimpo: I HATE NOTHING BURGERS, AND I HATE YOU!

Spectra: Good, hate you too, Shrimpo.

Shrimpo: I… I HATE PEOPLE WHO HATE-

Spectra: Since you hate yourself so much, why don’t you-

Goob pulls Spectra in for a hug, to her chagrin.

Spectra: LET ME GO-

Goob: Awww… you know, a hug can turn a frown upside down!

Spectra: Awww… you know, I can turn your head upside down.

Dandy: Spectra, don’t say that, there’s CHILDREN WATCHING.

Spectra: (sarcastic) Oops, my bad, how did I not know this?

Dandy: Anyways, next Toon… Sparks!

AUDITION TAPE:

Sparks: Hey, Dandy!!!… (calms down)…Would you like some mac and cheese?

Dandy: Hi, Sparks… and about the mac and cheese… I’m fine.

Sparks: Aww, that’s a shame…

Dandy: Anyways, welcome to season 2 of the Million. Tape. Game! Before we start-

Spectra: Are we picking the teams? Because I want to be ten feet away from this thing. (points to Goob)

Dandy cackles a little.

Darksion (to Spectra): Is he ok? I really wanna euthanise him now-

Spectra (to Darksion): . . . I feel very uncomfortable.

Dandy stops cackling.

Dandy:…Do I look like Mother Teresa? If so, you can pick your own teams.

Spectra: Great, just great.

Dandy: Anyways, you will be split into two teams by your biggest strengths… and roles. So, Lance, Goob, Coal-

Coal: Grrr… 

Spectra: The overdramatic type? (sarcastic) I love this cast already.

Dandy: Uh hum… Jonathan, Bassie, June, Flutter and Sparks, you are called the Defiant Distractors!

Dandy throws June a yellow flag, with the Well-Paced/Endurance emblem on it.

Dandy: And as for the rest of you… Rodger, Spectra, Rubix, Darksion, Toodles, Smores, Connie and Bobette… you’re the Efficient Extractors!

Dandy throws Spectra a purple flag, with an Ichor emblem on it… Spectra gets pwned and falls onto the floor

Rubix: Oooof… are you ok?

Spectra: I will be fine.

Dandy: And remember, you can always head to the confessional to confess your deepest thoughts.

CONFESSIONAL:

Spectra: (sighs) So far, this sucks.

CONFESSIONAL:

Goob: I wanted to be in season 1… but Dandy rejected me, sadly… But now that I’m here in season 2, I’m going to show this competition what I’ve got!

June: I’ll just hang out in the bedroom- Hold on, where’s the beds?

June enters what used to be a bedroom, now a fully functioning living room with a TV and a jukebox. The broken elevator is no longer broken.

Dandy: Hahah… due to some increases in budget, we’ve decided to move the bedroom somewhere else.

Time skip. June and Dandy are in the revamped bedroom, which is less makeshift and more well-constructed. It has a welcoming yellow-beige feel with some colourful beds and carpets everywhere.

Dandy: Welcome… to your sleeping quarters! With beds suitable for well, sleep, and a kitchen that actually works properly!

June: Awesome!… Wait, is there anyone here who knows how to cook?

Lance: I DO! Big bro’s taught me a recipe or two-

June: What are you… doing here?

Lance:…Got a little curious, and I ended up here!

Dandy: Heehee, have fun settling in, challenge starts in thirty minutes.

Dandy walks into the other Elevator and takes it back to the Projector Room.

June:…So, Lance, say… we form an alliance?

Lance: Alright, but… it’s best if we can get more people first. That way, we have a higher chance of making it to the merge.

CONFESSIONAL:

June: Lance seems nice. Hopefully, Coal doesn’t cause much problems for us.

Bassie: So uhh… haha, how has everyone been?

Everyone is still mingling with each other, while Bassie’s just there… alone.

Bassie: Oh…

Darksion walks up to Bassie

Darksion: Alright, life sucks and Dandy sucks harder… but say, we’re just the invisibles in this place… so, how about we form an alliance? Us invisibles gotta stick together!

Bassie: What?

Darksion: Well, they’re all going to gang up on us soon… so if we want to survive, we’re going to have to stick together and take out the competition.

Bassie: I’ll… consider.

Darksion: Good.

CONFESSIONAL:

Bassie: He… seems nice… right? I mean, he’s literally tried to kill Dandy a few times but…

CONFESSIONAL:

Darksion: It’s all strategy. Probably ditching her somewhere in the merge when she’s useless… but she can take out some huge threats.

Dandy (from the speakers): Attention, all Toons! Meet me at the beanbags for your very first challenge!

Jonathan: Wait… first challenge, already?!

Smores: Croak. [At least give us some breathing room.]

Bobette is already headed to the beanbags for the challenge.

Jonathan: Come on, Smores, let’s go!

Smores just follows his owner, a little bored.

The Toons are now assembled at the beanbags.

Dandy: Welcome… to your first challenge. Dyle, explain the rules of this challenge.

Dyle: For this challenge… you must eliminate ONE contestant from your team.

Lance: WAIT, WHAT?!

Bobette: Hold on, we just arrived, it’s way to early to vote off each other!

Dandy: We have thirteen episodes this season, of course we have to vote someone off the first day!

Darksion: This ain’t fair! We… I… UGH, (mutters to self) Molly and Simon are going to mock me for losing a vote to a frog

Smores:…Ribbit. [Lol.]

Darksion:…Don’t lol me like that, gremlin.

Smores:…Croak. [Lol.]

Dandy: You have thirty minutes before your first elimination ceremonies.

Dyle: But here’s the twist! Somewhere in the bedroom, there is a bell. You can choose to ring the bell to gain Immunity for this challenge only… but at a price.

Dandy: What’s the price? First of all, your reputation might be off to a bad start.

Darksion: As if mine’s already that high.

Dandy: Second of all, you will be putting your entire team at a disadvantage.

Everyone gasps in horror.

Dandy: Would you throw your potential friendships away just for a little Immunity for a day? Time starts… now!

The Razzle and Dazzle animation shown gets replaced with a large, menacing thirty minute timer.

Lance: Ok, so, we can discuss the-

Coal growls at Lance.

Lance: Coal, I get it but calm down, we have to discuss the vote-

Coal: Bwoof!

Dandy: (sighs) Pebble, wanna play with Coal?

Pebble: ARF ARF! [Sure, Dandy!]

Pebble runs to get a chew toy for Coal, before they play with each other.

CONFESSIONAL:

Lance: Ok… what are my options here… Heh, probably Coal.

Spectra is headed for the bedroom, while she notices Darksion headed for it too.

Spectra: Ohoho… don’t you dare-

Darksion: MIND. YOUR. OWN. BUSINESS.

Spectra: Oh, so you’re going to throw away our shot at winning just for Immunity?

Darksion: First of all, yes. Second of all, if you want to stay in this competition, then keep your mouth shut. Thirdly, we will win even with a disadvantage. And lastly-

Spectra: SHUT UP.

Darksion:… I know how to even the odds.

Spectra:… Fine, be your own guest.

CONFESSIONAL:

Darksion: That spider shouldn’t be speaking like she doesn’t care about her own elimination.

Darksion walks over to the bell, now placed in the middle of the bedroom. Spectra decides to shrug and do nothing about it, while Darksion rings the bell.

Dandy (from the speakers): Darksion has decided to give himself individual Immunity! Extractors, you’re now at a disadvantage for the next challenge!

Spectra: Well done, you actually did it.

No response.

Time skip. Lance and June are chit-chatting with Toodles and Rodger.

Rodger: So, what you’re saying is an alliance…

Lance: Yeah! That way, we can keep each other safe, even if we’re on opposite teams.

Rodger: Interesting…

Rubix: You know, cross-team alliances are stronger. We can let each other know what is going on in the other team, maybe eliminate some bigger threats right when the merge starts!

Lance: Exactly!

June: So, you guys are in?

Toodles: Count us in!

June, Toodles, Rubix, Rodger and Lance form a hand stack, and raise one of their hands up in unison.

Meanwhile, Darksion and Bassie are in the living room, discussing the bell thing while playing some Dance Dance Toon together.

Bassie: Wait… you rang the bell?

Darksion: Only way to not get voted off the first day. My reputation is say, dogwater… so that’s my only choice. But… say, can you help me even the odds next challenge?

Bassie: What? NO! I can’t… get voted off the first day!

Darksion: Ok… that’s a shame. Well, just do it for the both of us, please?

Bassie: Well, there’s… ok… I CAN’T VOTE SOMEONE OUT-

Darksion: (mutters to self) Why did she come to this show… (to Bassie) Ok, so, I’ll tell you who to vote. I’ll teach you the ropes and help convince your fellow teammates, k?

Bassie: Uh huh…

STORY CONFESSIONAL:

Darksion: Where was I? Oh, so basically [censored] Dandy, I tried to kill him on countless occasions… until probably at the end of season 2?… Either way, I still hate him, I hate it when people buy from his shop, even medkits! 

A picture of Darksion teaching Shrimpo how to roast better can be seen

Darksion: I even tutor Shrimpo on his roasts, and what can I say, he’s been making fine progress!

Darksion: Whatever you do, do not try to convince anyone to get Immunity. This will create a huge target on your back. Got it?

Bassie: Uh huh…

Sparks: In the mood for mac and cheese?

Darksion: NO.

Meanwhile, Goob and Jonathan are discussing tonight’s vote.

Jonathan: Ok, so even though the Extractors are disadvantaged, we need to pick out someone we find… useless. Goob?

Goob: Oh, right! Hug!

Goob jugs Jonathan, to his pleasant surprise.

Jonathan: Back to what I was saying… we need to vote someone useless.

Goob: Hmm… I’m thinking Coal. He’s been growling endlessly at Lance, so that could damage our team’s performance in the long run… Wow, how did I think about that?

Jonathan: Well, Coal it is…

Coal stares in the distance, gazing at Goob and Jonathan. Coal growls a little, before going down the other Elevator

Meanwhile, Spectra is on her bed, sulking at the fact that Darksion just probably costed her team the next challenge. Coal exits the other Elevator and rings the bell.

Dandy (from the speakers): Oh no, looks like Coal’s rung the bell! Both teams are at a disadvantage next episode!

Cut back to Goob and Jonathan, who are a little shocked.

Jonathan: Plan B… who should we eliminate…

Goob: I don’t know… everyone seems nice!

Jonathan: I’m really sorry, but I’m thinking Flutter.

Goob: Uh huh…

Bobette goes down to the bedroom to Coal.

Bobette: Coal, why did you… ring the bell?

Coal:…Bwoof. [I was in danger.]

Bobette: What happened?

Coal: Bork, bwuff. [Some Toons conspired to vote me off.]

Bobette: Uh huh… well, we’ll make it to the merge, together. Got it?

Coal: Bwoof. [Got it.]

Dandy (from the speakers): Attention, all Toons! Meet me at Shelly’s floor for your first elimination ceremony!

Bobette: Well… let’s go, Coal!

Coal: Bork.

Bobette and Coal exit the bedroom together, while Spectra follows.

[ELIMINATION CEREMONY]

Dandy: Welcome to tonight’s elimination ceremony! Before we start, remember… Darksion and Coal are safe. Now, get voting!

The Toons write down their votes on a piece of paper. Bobette helps Coal vote Lance, while Jonathan helps Smores vote.

Dandy: Awesome! Well, now that the votes are in…

Dyle: Uh huh… since it’s first impressions and you know, there’s no way you’ll know why you might be going home. It’s just bad luck or bad social skills, heheheh…

Dandy: Anyways, a major change is that we’re now reading your votes at EVERY. ELIMINATION. CEREMONY.

Lance: Hold on, why?!

Dandy: First of all, half of our injuries are candy-related, not counting "The Balancing Act". Secondly, it will add a lot more drama!

Yatta: NOW, WHO WILL… WHO WILL BE GOING HOME?!

Dandy: Defiant Distractors, first vote… Flutter.

Flutter stares at the camera, a little confused.

Dandy: Second vote… Lance.

Lance is a little anxious. Coal growls aggressively at him, as he backs off a little.

Dandy: Third vote… Sparks!

Sparks: What? What did I do?

Dyle: Again, absolutely no idea.

Sparks sulks a little.

Dandy: That’s one vote Flutter, one vote Lance and one vote Sparks. Fourth vote… Flutter.

Flutter:…!!!

Lance: Flutter, everything is going to be a-ok!

Dandy: Fifth vote… Sparks.

Sparks is a little startled.

Dandy: Sixth vote… Flutter!

Flutter cowers behind Lance.

Dandy: And first Toon voted off the Million Tape Game: Distractors VS Extractors is… Flutter! That’s four votes, you must go.

Flutter rises up and leaves for the Elevator of Shame, disappointed.

Lance: I’m really sorry Flutter… I just… tried to… ahh…

June: It’s alright, Lance. At least we’re still in the game.

Lance: You’re right, June.

Dandy: Now, Efficient Extractors… first vote… Spectra!

Spectra: Oh wow, didn’t expect that.

Smores:…Croak. [You seem mean.]

Dandy: Second vote… Smores.

Smores: Ribbit. [I know where you live.]

Spectra: News flash! We all live in the SAME. PLACE.

Dandy: Third vote… oh, it’s Smores! Two votes Smores… one vote Spectra! Fourth vote… Smores! Fifth vote… Smores!

Smores stares at Dandy, unsurprised.

Dandy: And second Toon voted off the Million Tape Game is… Smores! That’s five votes and you’re OUT!

Jonathan: B… BUT who will take care of him?

Dandy: Relax, we got that settled! The rest of you, help yourself to a piece of candy!

Everyone cheers except for Jonathan… upset by the loss of his pet s’more. Jonathan and Smores eye each other, the former waving back as the Elevator of Shame closes in on Flutter and Smores.

Goob:…You doing alright, Jon?

Jonathan: Yeah. Just…

Goob: I know how to fix that.

Goob hugs Jonathan, as the two go into an embrace.

Goob: We’ll brave through this show together, I promise.

Dandy: Wow, we really had some emotional goodbyes already? It’s only episode 1! Anyways, how will our teams fare disadvantaged next episode? Who will be triumphant? Find out, next time… on the Million Tape Game 2: Distractors VS Extractors!

Chapter Text

Dandy: Last time on the Million Tape Game, our brand new batch of hotshots entered the game grounds for the very first time, checking out our recently renovated bedroom and kitchen! However, all joy turned into sheer panic as the Toons realised… they have to vote one person off, no challenge was in place! However, we did place a really enticing bell that can give one member Immunity… at the cost of their entire team this challenge! In the end, Darksion and Coal selfishly saved themselves by the bell, while Flutter and Smores took the Elevator back up! Fourteen Toons remain, who will win it all? Find out, right here… on the Million Tape Game!

[intro]

Shrimpo is in the bedroom, sitting on a chair. Darksion takes out a whiteboard with the words "How to Roast 101" on it.

Darksion: Ok, Shrimpo… now show me what you’ve got.

Shrimpo:…You’re a chop [censored].

Darksion: Great! Soon, you’ll be able to clock everyone in this place… now… spell "khia".

Shrimpo: K… H… E… E… A?

Darksion: Close enough. Now, repeat after me: Go back to the khia asylum you belong in-

Shrimpo: DANDY, YOUR PETALS ARE FAKE AND YOUR FAT CHOPPY ASS CAN GO BACK TO THE KHIA ASYLUM YOU BELONG IN!

Darksion: There we go!

Bassie walks into Shrimpo and Darksion.

Bassie:… I’m just… haha… gonna give you two some privacy.

Bassie runs back into the other Elevator. Shrimpo and Darksion stare at each other, awkwardly.

Meanwhile, Goob and Scraps are chatting with each other in the newly built dining hall.

Goob: Woah, I never imagined there would be a dining hall here…

Scraps: Dandy’s finally ramped up the budget for the show… not my salary though. Still twenty tapes per season, hooray!

Goob: Oh… well, I’m sure things will turn out great… someday.

Scraps: Twenty tapes, and I had to deal with a sha-thunderhead, a rock-dog-

Pebble growls aggressively at Scraps, and leaps onto her.

Scraps: HEY, GET OFF ME!

Dandy: Woah, Pebble, bad rock! BAD.

Pebble whines a little, and walks away, slightly embarassed.

Scraps: Uh hum, back to what I’m saying… season 2 is honestly much better than season 1, solely based off the cast. At least there’s actually normal Toons.

Bassie spins out of control a la The Amazing Digital Circus, while Connie haunts a nearby chair. Jonathan sits on the chair, as it floats.

Jonathan: AAAH! HELP, THE HALL, IT’S HAUNTED!!!

Connie exits the chair, slightly amused but annoyed by Jonathan’s screaming.

Connie:…You do know I exist, do you?

Jonathan: Oh… that is a fair point.

Jonathan screams as gravity does its thing. He falls onto the floor, and gets hit by the chair on the head. Sparks rushes to Jonathan and helps him up.

Jonathan: Thanks…

Sparks: You’re welcome!… Would you like some mac and cheese?

Jonathan: Honestly, nope. I’m good.

CONFESSIONAL:

Jonathan is eating some hot dogs, mouth stuffed full with it.

STORY CONFESSIONAL:

Jonathan: Ok, that was a lot of hot dogs, I love hot dogs. Perfect camping food, especially when it’s the four of us outside.

Photos of Jonathan and his friends outside, camping, can be seen

Jonathan: We… let’s just say we’re the adventurous kind, always having each others backs, especially around these Twisteds. 

The screen shows Jonathan again.

Jonathan: And… one of my friends hate hate HATE Dandy a lot, but that didn’t stop me from signing up for this show. I’d like to give a quick shout out to my camping buds, ‘cos I’m here to WIN IT!

Lance: Who’s ready for some pancakes?!

Goob pulls Lance towards him

Goob: ME! PANCAKES! Please…

Lance: Alright, here you go!

Goob takes some pancakes and eats them together with Scraps

Scraps:…He’s given me some scales to use for my artworks.

Goob stares at Scraps, with crumbs of pancake all over his mouth.

Lance sits next to Jonathan, with some pancakes on hand.

Jonathan: Hey, Lance!

Lance: Oh, hi Jon!

Jonathan: How’s Raihan doing?

Lance: Big bro’s uhh… doing alright. Not so when he found out about mine

Jonathan: He was a little… flamed when he found out I submitted his tape.

Lance: …For me, he was 50% less mad because-

Jonathan: He told me he would never ever hurt you.

Lance: Fair point. Anyways-

Dandy (from the speakers): Attention, contestants! Meet me at the Elevator of Shame for your next challenge!

Lance: You know, every time he tells us to meet at the Elevator of Shame, it’s always a dangerous challenge.

Jonathan: I’ve gotten a bit of experience from watching shows like these… and my camping trips. I’ll help you out a bit if needed.

Lance: Thanks!

Jonathan: So, race to the Elevator of Shame.

Lance: It’s on.

Jonathan sprints towards the Elevator of Shame, while Lance flies off his chair… hitting Rubix in the process.

Lance: My bad!

Rubix: Honestly, I did saw that coming.

Sparks: Would you like some mac and cheese?

Rubix: I’m good, thanks!

Time skip. The remaining fourteen are standing on ice.

Dandy: Welcome, fab fourteen to your second challenge. In front of you, is five hundred metres of ice. Your goal, is to make it to the end of this ice sheet.

Dyle: Your disadvantages? No sleighs, no skates… and one of you must be blindfolded.

Bassie: I’ll be blindfolded!

Spectra: Wait really?

Darksion: I’ll help Bassie out.

Bassie: Awww… thank you!

Rubix: I’ll be blindfolded too.

STORY CONFESSIONAL:

Rubix: Being Vee’s co-host is tough work.

Pictures of Rubix and Vee in the gameshow, as well as rehearsals.

Rubix: Lots of training for a trivia show, especially when it comes to memorising and understanding the questions she asks. She may have access to all the information she needs… but I do not.

The camera shows Rubix again.

Anyways, a part of training involved… blindfolds, so I should be fine without a guide by my side.

Dandy: Anyways, be very very careful as the ice is very thin. So, any wrong move and…

Shrimpo stomps onto the thin ice, and falls through it. An ice cube with a frozen Shrimpo rises, alarming the contestants.

Dandy: You have fifteen minutes to cross the ice sheet, and the team with the most Toons on the other side wins. You guys ready?

The two teams nod.

Dandy: Ready, set…

Toodles takes one step onto the ice sheet

Dandy: Not yet!

Toodles: Aww…

Rodger: Stay very close to me, got it?

Toodles: Ok…

Dandy: Ready… set… and begin!

Lance speeds through above the ice sheet on wing, grabbing June’s hand tightly

Lance: Hold tight, or it will be very rough!

June: I… Honestly, this is pretty nice-

Lance lands on the other side, waving at the other contestants.

June: Well uhh… good luck, I… guess?

Dandy: And our Defiant Distractors are in the lead with two! Remember, be very careful, and if you fall into the water, you’re out!

Darksion: Ok, take a few steps forward Bassie.

Bassie takes a few steps forward

Bassie: Ok… and?

Darksion: You should be on the right track.

Meanwhile, Rubix is walking perfectly find on blindfolds, albeit a little slower. Spectra is trying to keep up with him.

Spectra: How are you (slips on ice and gets back up quickly)… able to (falls off again)… walk blindfolded?

Rubix: Short answer: Vee.

Spectra: Uh huh… no comments, carry on. And you better not-

Spectra almost falls through the ice, but manages to maintain footing above the hole… in the splits. Rubix walks off, not knowing that Spectra hasn’t fell into the cold waters.

Spectra: Great, leaving someone behind to die. Good game move, Rubix!

Rubix: You’re still alive? Not trapped in a glass block? I’m coming.

Rubix picks Spectra up and puts her on her back.

Spectra: Thanks… I gotta admit, I love this piggyback ride.

Rubix: Thanks… gotta handle lots of kids jumping on me because they didn’t earn a prize.

Spectra: Hahah… what prizes?

Rubix: Pens, pins, trading cards… They were desperate for whatever prize we offered… to the point of violence. One even almost burnt down Gardenview because little Timmy won a toy car, not him.

Spectra: Hahah… that’s still not enough violence.

Rubix: Ok… at least there’s a little bit of drama. That’s what Vee always say… and honestly, I just don’t like our contestants getting seriously hurt! I’d usually give them consolation prizes.

Spectra: And these are?

Rubix: Autographs?

Spectra:…Well, no argument here, at least it’s something.

CONFESSIONAL:

Spectra: Honestly, Rubix is way better than Vee! I wonder why Vee’s the main host of this show…

Meanwhile, Goob and Jonathan are walking together. Goob is hugging Jonathan tightly with one arm

Goob: So, any strategy plans, my good man?

Jonathan: Honestly, I can… form an alliance with Lance. I mean, we do share one connection.

Goob: Great! He’s… formed a pretty large cross-team alliance though.

Jonathan: Doesn’t hurt to have two more members!

Goob: Yeah…

CONFESSIONAL:

Jonathan: I’ve watched Disventure Camp a lot, and… yeah, strength really is in numbers… unless you count Lill’s alliance that is. Hopefully, it’s not like that.

Darksion: Two steps to your left!

Bassie: Wait uhh… I… can’t see… Which direction is left?

Darksion: Turn 90 degrees to your left.

Bassie: Uh huh… 90 degrees.

Bassie turns 180 degrees around.

Darksion:…Turn 45 degrees back… (mutters to self) This is going to take a very long time…

Connie (from afar): Hey, Extractors! I’m finally here!

Dandy (from the speakers): CONNIE HAS MADE IT TO THE END!

Dandy’s voice is so loud a crack forms around Darksion… he fails to react in time and gets iced.

Bassie: What was that?… Darksion? DARKSION! ARE YOU OK?!

Dandy (from the speakers): Darksion is 100% NOT ok!

Sparks:…Would you like some mac and cheese?

Bassie: I would like to be able to see!

Sparks: Ok, see ya!

Sparks runs off as if the ice isn’t thin.

Meanwhile, Coal and Bobette are on a floating piece of ice, not too far off the ice sheet.

Bobette: Coal, we’re going to be fine, we can just… pedal our way to the end!

Coal: Bwoof! [Full steam ahead!]

Bobette and Coal pedal themselves through the icy waters.

CONFESSIONAL:

Bobette: Could really use some gloves… but holiday’s season trained these hands!

Goob and Jonathan notice Bobette and Coal’s makeshift raft, and try to get their attention

Jonathan: Yoo-hoo!

Goob: Over there!

Bobette turns her head to the two.

Bobette: Hey, so… can you help pull the two of us to safety!

Goob: On it!

Goob pulls Bobette and Coal back to the main ice sheet

Bobette: Thanks, guys!

Jonathan: Let’s go! We aren’t too far off.

Dandy (from the speakers): Ten minutes left! I repeat, TEN MINUTES LEFT!

The ice sheet below Jonathan cracks, causing him to trip and fall into the water.

Goob: Jonathan, NO!!!

Bobette: LET’S GO! We don’t have much time!

Goob: But… b… but-

Bobette: Dandy will find a way to bring them back to safety, I know.

Goob: I… ok…

Goob dejectedly walks with Bobette and Coal to the finish line.

Meanwhile, Spectra and Rubix are singing "Daisy Bell" together.

Spectra: Daisy, Daisy, give me your answer do…

Rubix: I’m half crazy, all for the love of you…

Spectra: It won’t be a stylish marriage

Rubix: I can’t afford a carriage

Spectra and Rubix: But you’ll look sweet upon a set of a bicycle made for two!

Spectra: Hey, Rubix! What did the car say to the bicycle?

Rubix: What?

Spectra: You’re two-tired! (cackles)

Rubix chuckles a little.

CONFESSIONAL:

Rubix: Hahah, Spectra’s jokes are way better than Finn’s.

Rubix and Spectra continue singing "Daisy Bell" together. Meanwhile, far behind them, Bassie is sliding on the ice like a seal, trying to feel for the ground. Toodles and Rodger walk by them

Toodles: Hi, Bassie!

Rodger:…We really… should go now!

Toodles: But… I really want to help Bassie…

Rodger: She’s the opposite team… Oh… Well, we’ll help you Bassie!

Bassie: Thanks!

Bassie lays her arms on Rodger’s shoulders, as the detective drags her on the icy, cold ground.

By that time, Spectra and Rubix makes it to the end.

Dandy (from the speakers): Spectra and Rubix have finally reached the end! Five minutes left… you know what that means…

Dyle (from the speakers): WHAT?! Let me guess, boulders-

Dandy (from the speakers): Oh, you simple-minded man… TWISTEDS!

Toodles: Wait, WHAT?!

Rodger: This is totally messed up-

Twisted Rodger’s capsule falls onto Bassie.

Bassie: OW…

Rodger:…Toodles, no. Do not touch it.

Toodles:…Oh… it’s Rodger’s capsule… got it!

Twisted Sprout looks at the three of them… and summons a tendril wounding Bassie

Bassie: OW, WHAT WAS THAT?!

Rodger: We really have to go!

Toodles: Sprout’s tendrils!

Twisted Sprout growls a little, as it tries to make chase for the three.

Meanwhile, Goob, Bobette and Coal are in a defensive position, trying to fend off against a group of common Twisteds.

Goob: Alright, now…

Coal: BARK! [We’re outnumbered!]

Goob: I may not have a brain gentlemen, but I have an idea.

Bobette: What… idea?

Goob launches Coal onto Twisted Tisha with his arms, giving the three an escape route. 

Goob: RUN!

Bobette trips on Goob’s hands, but Coal saves her in time. Bobette is lying on Coal’s back as she brings the two to safety.

Bobette: Thanks, Coal!

Coal: Bwoof.

CONFESSIONAL:

Coal:…Bork.

Goob, Bobette and Coal make it to the end.

Goob: Hi, Dandy!

Bobette: Whew, that was tiring…

Coal:…Bwoof.

Dandy: Awesome! (to the speakers) Four Toons remain! Get your teammates in by one minute or you might be frozen out of Immunity!

Bobette: Come on, Toodles and Rodger… you got this…

Goob: Bassie and Sparks… you’re our only hope…

Meanwhile, Toodles and Rodger are sprinting as fast as they could… with Twisted Pebble on tow.

Toodles: I can’t… run more.

Rodger force feeds Toodles Pop, as Toodles uses her active ability, giving her more movement speed.

Toodles: Looks like luck’s on our side!

Toodles speeds up significantly, allowing the three to make it to the finish line in time… if not for the Twisteds camping there.

Goob whistles, while Bobette hums to "Rocking Around the Christmas Tree"

Toodles: NOOOO…

Rodger: How are we supposed to… get past these?!

Toodles: I have an idea… but it’s going to be really, really bad.

Rodger: What is it?

Toodles struggles to carry Rodger but manages to do so

Lance: LET’S GO, TOODLES!

Toodles: I’m strong! Heehee!

Rodger: Is that what I’m thinking, Toods?

Toodles nods

Rodger: Here goes (in a robotic voice) laser beam, activate.

Rodger‘s head concentrates light onto ice… but fails

Rodger: Now what?

Toodles: WE RUN!

Rodger and Toodles rush through Twisted Boxten, pushing him aside with Bassie on tow

Dandy: Rodger, Toodles and Bassie have made it to the end… but the Distractors are missing out on one member.

Lance: Hold on… 1 2 3 4 5… where’s Jonathan and Sparks?

Goob: About that… He fell into the water.

Lance: Dang it.

Meanwhile, Sparks is having a little mac and cheese party with Twisted Toodles

Sparks: Heehee, enjoy the mac and cheese!

Twisted Toodles devours the mac and cheese entirely… before scowling like a feral dog for more mac and cheese… or Toon faces.

Sparks: I’ve always got seconds!

Dandy (from the speakers): Times up! Looks like Sparks failed to make it to the end, so Efficient Extractors win! Defiant Distractors, I’ll meet you at tonight’s elimination ceremony.

Sparks: Welp, time to go!

Time skip. Jonathan and Lance are talking with each other inside the bedroom.

Jonathan: I… look, Dandy screwed me over-

Darksion: He’s also screwed me over! Gosh, it was horrible being trapped in an ice block.

Lance: Look, I understand what happened over there… and…

Jonathan: It’s fine. Honestly, if not for Dandy, I wouldn’t have fallen in.

Spectra and Rubix are also chatting on the latter’s bed.

Rubix: You know, you really are one nice spider!

Spectra: Heehee, I could teach you some basic pranks once the show is over.

Rubix: Oh, I have stained Vee’s legs with ketchup!

Spectra: Haha, that was nasty! So,

Rubix and Spectra: You place ketchup packs below the bumpy thingies of a toilet!

Rubix: Jinx.

Spectra: I played that prank on my Halloween buddies in isolation.

Rubix: Oh… How was it?

Spectra: Terrible. Not many visitors to scare, because ol Delilah was like "sure, bud, you can socially isolate yourself we don’t care about you!"… Honestly, slightly jealous that Connie made it out of Isolation but we do talk a lot! 

Rubix: Say, how’s Ribecca doing?

Spectra: Ribecca? She’s started listening to Charli xcx a while after we closed… she’s been listening to Brat all day.

Rubix: Brat’s a nice album.

Spectra: Nice? It’s almost unlistenable. She’s always streaming it in isolation and it’s pissing me off.

Rubix: Ok… so, you’ve gotten sick of Brat?

Spectra: Yeah… honestly, if she plays that album one more time, she can take my middle finger and-

Rubix: Well… if you’re sick of her… music choices, maybe we can hang out, listen to some EDM or something?

Spectra: EDM? Ehh… at least it’s better than… (sings "360" off-tune on purpose)

Lance and June are discussing the vote.

Lance: So… we’re all voting for Sparks?

June: I… guess.

[ELIMINATION CEREMONY]

Dandy: Welcome, Defiant Distractors… to your second elimination ceremony! Please cast your votes, as usual.

The Toons cast their votes, with Jonathan helping Coal vote.

Lance: Sorry buddy, but… (reveals his vote for Sparks) you’re kinda the odd one out here.

Jonathan: (reveals vote for Sparks) Same.

Dandy scans every vote.

Dandy: Awesome! Dyle, tell us why some of you might be going home!

Dyle: Sparks.

Sparks: What?

Dyle:…You stayed behind for a "mac and cheese party" and threw the challenge. You could’ve at least forced a tie!

Sparks:…Would mac and cheese change your mind-

Dyle: NO. And Lance… ehh, self-explanatory.

Dandy: Before we read the votes, Yatta, reveal one contestant without any votes tonight.

Yatta: Hmm… JUNE!

June gets pwned by her own candy.

June: Owww… I thought that candy thing is gone…

Dandy: Now, first vote… Sparks.

Sparks: What? Why?

Dandy: Second vote… Lance.

Lance is unfazed, unsurprised by Coal’s vote.

Dandy: Third vote… Lance.

CONFESSIONAL:

Sparks: Honestly… Lance is already a huge threat this early.

Dandy: Fourth vote… Sparks. That’s two votes Sparks, two votes Lance.

Sparks: This is bad…

No one cares about Spark’s predicament.

Dandy: Fifth vote… Sparks! Sixth vote… Sparks!

The camera zooms in on Sparks’s anxious face

Dandy: And third Toon voted off the Million Tape Game: Distractors VS Extractors is… Sparks! That’s five votes, sayonara, adios! Hopefully the Elevator of Shame enjoys your mac and cheese!

Sparks dejectedly leaves for the Elevator of Shame.

FINAL CONFESSIONAL:

Sparks: I really wanted to make some friends here but ah… I couldn’t turn the votes in my favour and… now I’m here… anyways, would you like some mac and cheese?

Sparks waves at the camera, as the Elevator of Shame closes on her.

Dandy: To the surprise of absolutely no one, Sparks is officially out of season 2! Who will freeze in place next challenge? Oh, this one is a little… request! Heehee. Anyways, find out, next time… on the Million Tape Game 2: Distractors VS Extractors!

Chapter Text

Dandy: Last time on the Million Tape Game, after a shaking double elimination, our two teams went head to head in an icy, subzero race! Bassie and Rubix volunteered to blindfold themselves as a disadvantage. Rubix had no problems crossing the ice sheet, even conversing with Spectra along the way! Bassie on the other hand, had to depend on her Efficient Extractor opponents to get across! Lance and Connie flew through the race like it was nothing, taking June along with them! And in the end, Sparks stayed behind, costing her team the win and kicking her out of the competition! Thirteen Toons remain, who will be frozen in time? Find out, right here… on the Million Tape Game 2: Distractors VS Extractors!

[intro]

It is night time. Spectra finished setting up a little trap with Connie.

Spectra: Got the candy?

Connie: Way ahead of you!

Connie drops some candy in the trap, before going back to sleep.

Time skip. Lance and June are cooking something in the kitchen.

Lance:…A little dash of pepper… June, can you also prepare some salad? It’ll be great if the cast also have their greens!

June: Alright… can you pass the seasoning, Lance?

Lance passes June some Worcestershire sauce, as the calendar starts preparing some delicious salad.

STORY CONFESSIONAL:

Lance: Ok, so it’s those confessionals where we explain our little backstories? Here goes… I’m fourteen, have a really nice family… and a rather over-protective brother. Anyways, I came here not just for the million, but to prove that no matter how old you are…

Meanwhile, Toodles notices the candy trap…

Toodles: Hmm… seems way too good to be true-

Rodger: Toodles, no.

Toodles: What, why-

Toodles takes a piece of candy, causing her to fall for the trap. Her hand gets tied and rises up.

Toodles: HELP!

Rodger: (sighs) I told you so… (frees Toodles)

Toodles: Thanks, Rodger!

On the other side of the bedroom, Spectra and Connie share a giggle. Rubix walks up to them.

Rubix: How have you girls been doing?

Spectra: Great!

Connie: Couldn’t be better.

Spectra: You saw that prank? It was epic!

Rubix: About that… well…

Meanwhile, Darksion and Bassie are at the dining hall, discussing the votes… and eliminations.

Darksion: I think Rubix has to go as soon as possible… he and Lance are starting to be huge threats!

Bassie: But… they’re nice.

Darksion: Rubix is literally famous and influential. Lance, on the other hand, he’s cool, popular and good at challenges! He’s breezed through the ice sheet challenge and his focus… Top. Notch.

Bassie: How?

Darksion: He’s managed to shoot an apple from about one hundred feet away!

Bassie: Woah, now that’s impressive!

Darksion: Impressive as it sounds, he’s going to dominate the competition if we don’t boot him asap! Ditto with Rubix.

Bassie: That’s… a little scary, haha…

STORY CONFESSIONAL:

Bassie: I just want to… feel like I’m independent, I’m totally unique, and I… this show could be the perfect opportunity for this! I’ve never watched season 1… and Bobette’s invited me here… but we haven’t talked much so… During my time on the show, my Main Character status was always on the line, because of ugh, Cocoa. That NPC/carbon copy is always trying to replace me, and… [censored]

Meanwhile, Coal is playing fetch with Bobette in the Projector Room. Bobette throws a bone far away… and accidentally hits Goob

Goob: Ow… what was that?

Coal runs at full speed onto Goob… and leaps onto him

Goob: Haha… hi, Coal!

Coal: Bwoof!

Coal grabs the bone with her teeth, and runs back to Bobette. Bobette pets Coal and gives her a belly rub.

Dandy (from the speakers): Attention, all contestants! Meet me at the Elevator of Shame for your next challenge.

Bobette: Oh, well… Coal, ready for our next challenge?

Coal: Bork. [Yes.]

Bobette giggles.

CONFESSIONAL:

Bobette: I know Coal and I are on different teams, but we still check on each other!

Coal: Bork!

The Toons arrive in a dark, LED room.

Jonathan: Guys… anyone?

Bassie: Hold on… I think I feel something…

Coal can be audibly heard slamming on something repeatedly

Bobette: Coal, buddy… where are you?

Darksion’s crystal hair suddenly lights up.

Darksion: Ok, where the [censored] are the lights?!

Jonathan and Bassie are seen, tangled to each other.

Jonathan: Heheh…

Bassie: My… bad!

The lights randomly turn on. Dandy appears on a screen.

Dandy: Welcome to your third challenge! This room is full of LED screens… that you have to watch very, VERY closely.

Shrimpo walks into the room.

Shrimpo: I HATE DEMONSTRATING CHALLENGES!

Dandy: Well, how very, Shrimpo… NO ONE CARES!

Shrimpo sulks and crosses his arms.

Dandy: Now…

Dandy presses a button and disappears from the screen. "Stay Inside Me" by OcularNebula starts playing in the background.

Dandy (from the speakers): Six dots will appear right in front of you… one of them will turn green.

A dot turns green, with the word "F O C U S" in front of them.

Dandy (from the speakers): As you can see, there are four LED lights on the floor… these represent sections of the room. Are they important… hmm… yes.

The green dot turns white again, and randomly move around… this time, slowly. Shrimpo eyes the dot that turned green. The music stops. The dots turn into different colours (red, orange, yellow, green, blue and purple)

Dandy (from the speakers): Now, you MUST head to the section with the correct dot to win. Failure to do so will result in elimination… and a surprise-

Darksion: What advantage are we getting for winning the last challenge? I swear there’s gotta be one.

Lance frowns at Darksion, a little upset.

Dandy (from the speakers): Well, one of you can put on these roller skates!

A pair of roller skates drops into the room. Rodger puts it on.

Toodles: HEY… I wanted these skates!

Rodger: You should be fine.

Toodles: Please?

Rodger: Sorry Toodles, I really need these skates to move faster and catch up with the rest.

Toodles:…Honestly, fair point.

Dandy (from the speakers):…Ready?

Everyone nods. Dandy goes dead silent, and the room goes dark.

[ROUND 1]

The six dots appear in front of them. A dot on the right turns green, with the words "F O C U S" right in front of them. 

Lance: Ok… this dot…

Toodles stares at the dot.

CONFESSIONAL:

Lance: Honestly, this challenge is 100% a walk in the park!

Suddenly, strobing lights start flooding the LED room as "Isolation" by Nighthawk22 starts playing in the background. The dots, now all white, pulse and rotate all over the room, joined by not white dots.

Connie: Ok… where the heck is this green dot?

Goob is closing his eyes, blinded by the lights. Finally, the dots turn into Dandy’s colours, with a few Toons dizzy.

CONFESSIONAL:

Spectra: Ugh… Dandy did NOT put an epilepsy warning in the contract!

Dandy (from the speakers): Yes I did! It’s in the fine print.

Spectra rubs her eyes, while the rest of the Toons but correctly guess where the dot is, the top-right corner from the Elevator of Shame. The top-right corner flashes green while the rest of the corners turn red. She fails to reach the correct corner.

CONFESSIONAL:

Jonathan is slightly dizzy but still functioning

Jonathan: I mean… most of the dots are in the top right corner… (falls over)

Dandy (from the speakers): Looks like Spectra’s is out in the first round! You know what that means!

Dyle (from the speakers): We talked about this, we’re not doing-

Dandy (from the speakers): Please, it increases the ratings of the show. I’m doing it.

Dandy presses a button. Suddenly, Spectra gets shot and falls down, tranquilised, alarming almost all the Toons. Half the cast is screaming, with Bassie running out of the top-right corner and quickly getting shot.

Dandy (from the speakers): Please stand VERY STILL if you want to still be in the game. Stepping out of the correct section will result in automatic elimination.

The camera cuts to Dandy and Dyle’s secret room.

Dandy: Which team will be the last one standing? Find out, right after this lovely commercial break!

[commercial break]

[ROUND 2]

The six dots appear in front of them. A dot on the bottom turns green, with the words "F O C U S" right in front of them. 

Darksion points at the dot, using his finger to keep track of the dot. Lance changes his position.

Strobing lights start playing, as the music resumes. The dots, now all white, pulse and rotate all over the room, joined by not white dots.

Darksion: Ok, it’s this dot-

Green smoke floats around the original green dot, as it suddenly disappears

Darksion:…WHERE DID IT GO?!

June is already lost because of the "disappearing" dot. Lance gently elbows her arm.

Lance: The dot reappeared… there!

Lance points at the correct dot.

June: Thanks!

CONFESSIONAL:

June: It’s awesome being… friends with someone cool, popular and good at challenges!

The dots turn into Dandy’s colours as the music stops. Lance takes June’s hand.

Lance: This way.

Lance leads June to the correct section. Most of the cast are at the correct section.

Lance: Oh, hey guys!

Rubix: Please be the correct one… please don’t let my eyes deceive me… PLEASE-

The section most of the Toons are in glows green.

Dandy (from the speakers): Congratulations on heading to the correct section again! Let’s see who… didn’t make the cut!.. (gasps) Looks like Rodger’s too slow!

Rodger: Hold on… what?

Rodger is standing inches away from the correct panel.

Rodger: Oh… no.

Rodger gets show by a tranquliser and falls onto the floor. The camera zooms out, with Bassie and Spectra’s unconscious bodies still on the floor.

Toodles: Rodger… RODGER! NO… (cries)

June pats Toodles’s head.

June: It’s ok, Toodles… everything will be fine. Just stay very close to-

Darksion snatches Toodles away from June.

Darksion: Sorry. We’re on OPPOSITE TEAMS.

June: So?

Darksion: ZIP. IT.

June: Ok… sorry.

Darksion walks away, gripping Toodles tightly. Lance pats June’s shoulders.

Lance: It’s ok, June… He may be able to separate us, but he’s not able to shatter our alliance.

June nods.

[ROUND 3]

The six dots appear in front of them. A dot on the top turns green, with the words "F O C U S" right in front of them. 

June: Ok, so it’s this dot!

The green dot turns white again… while another on the left turns green.

June: Wait… no. It’s-

The green dot switches positions… multiple times. Lance is staring at the six dots, concentrating as much as possible. Suddenly, the strobing lights and music returns as all the dots turn white and dance around the room like fairies.

Darksion is chasing the white dot, before a square rushes past him, causing him to accidentally twirl and lose sight of the dot.

Darksion: Ok… WHERE THE HECK ARE THE DOTS?!

The white dots are flying around, hiding behind some squares with random arrows that keep changing direction.

Darksion: This… is bad.

Connie: Just follow Lance, he knows what he’s doing.

Darksion: Thanks, Connie!… heheh. . .

Darksion decides to follow Lance, who is somehow still on the correct dot’s tail. Suddenly, the lights stop and the dots turn into Dandy’s colours. Lance and Darksion leap into the correct section. Everyone follows Lance to the correct section, as it flashes green.

Dandy (from the speakers): Wow, everyone is guessing the sections correctly so far! (sarcastic) Huh, I wonder why.

CONFESSIONAL:

Goob: Yeah, we’re just following Lance the entire time.

[FOURTH ROUND]

Dandy (from the speakers): (yawns) These rounds are getting really, REALLY boring… so, we’re adding some obstacles.

Jonathan: Hold on, what obstacles?

Dandy (from the speakers): Don’t worry, they’re only here to make your life harder! Without further ado, introducing… the bees.

Bees fill up the room like a black and yellow smoke. Except it stings.

Bobette: Ok, what in tarnation is this?!

Coal: Bork. GRR… BARK BARK!

Coal is barking at the bees, and side-eyes Lance.

CONFESSIONAL:

Coal: Grrrr… [I hate bees…]

The six dots appear in front of them. A dot on the top turns green, with the words "F O C U S" right in front of them.

Strobing lights start playing, as the music resumes. The dots, now all white, pulse and rotate all over the room, joined by not white dots. Except this time, the background is yellow and "Beep Beep" by Schtiffles is playing instead.

Lance is still in the zone despite the bees, while Connie is busy swiping the bees away.

Connie: OH MY GOD… THOSE STUPID BEES.

Darksion: Focus on the game, Connie. FOCUS.

Connie: I’m TRYING. If not for those stupid WINGED FREAKS.

The bees are simply flying through Connie like it’s nothing.

Connie: Just because I’m a dead ghost doesn’t mean I can be PISSED BY MERE MORTALS!

The music stops and the dots turn into Dandy’s colours. The bees are still here, and Connie is still (unsuccessfully) fighting them off. June coughs.

Goob: JUNE! Are you ok?

June: Yeah… just…

June spits out a bee. Lance giggles a little.

Lance: This way!

Goob and June follow Lance to the correct section. Most of the Toons follow suit… except for an annoyed Connie.

Connie: GOD, those bees are twice as annoying as Lightning.

Bobette: You know Lightning can hear what you said-

Connie: I DO NOT CARE.

Lance’s corner flashes green. Connie… just so happens to float above the wrong corner.

Dandy (from the speakers): Looks like the bees have somehow taken Connie out! You know what that means?

A tranquiliser dart flies through Connie… and hits Toodles.

Rubix: Toodles… TOODLES?!

Toodles: Tell Rodger… that I hide my vegetables under my bed when I’m sad…

Toodles falls asleep in Rubix’s hands.

Rubix: Toodles… TOODLES!

Dandy (from the speakers): Oops, looks like we’ve got an unexpected casualty! Do I look like I care? Of course not!

Rubix frowns.

Rubix: Real responsible of you, Dandicius.

Dandy (from the speakers): IT’S DANDY, oh my God. 

Dyle (from the speakers): Send in the ghost hunting squad.

The elevator doors open, revealing Finn, Lightning and Pebble

Finn: Hahah, who’s back for more?!

Lightning: Sha-BAM!

Pebble: ARF ARF!

Lightning: You ready, homeslice? Ready to sha-bust some ghosts?

Finn: I’m putting my heart and SOLE into this catch! 

Finn uses his vacuum cleaner to suck up all the bees… and Connie. The vacuum cleaner shakes angrily

CONFESSIONAL:

The vacuum cleaner shakes angrily and falls off the chair.

Dandy (from the speakers): Good job, boys!

Lightning: No problemo, Dandy!

Dandy (from the speakers): (chuckles) Leave the vacuum cleaner behind. Really seals the deal.

Finn: Alright, whatever floats your boat!

Finn, Lightning and Pebble leave the room, high-fiving each other.

June and Lance stare at each other.

Meanwhile, the Efficient Extractors are discussing strategy for the next rounds.

Darksion: Ok, so whatever you do… CONTINUE following Lance.

Bobette: But… why?

Darksion: He knows what he’s doing. His laser sharp focus can grant us the win if his team is unable to keep up.

Bobette: I don’t know… he’s a lot more smarter than he looks.

Darksion: WE’RE FOLLOWING HIM, like it or not.

Bobette: Sure, if you’re not considering that he might trick us.

Darksion: Please, he wouldn’t want a tranquilliser straight to his head.

A montage of "correct guesses" in the challenge starts, where the Efficient Extractors keep following Lance while Coal and Jonathan get tranquillised on separate frames. Various obstacles such as random stage props and cannonballs

Lance: Ok, I’m starting to feel like everyone’s following me because-

Darksion: Yeah… it’s right under your nose.

Lance frowns at Darksion (like any good dragon), as the section everyone is standing on turns green.

CONFESSIONAL:

Lance: I’m starting to get sick of the other team freeloading… If only there’s a way I can divert them away…

Lance huddles up with the remaining Defiant Distractors.

Lance: Ok, we are not going to beat the Extractors… unless we got a plan.

Goob: What’s the plan?

Lance whispers the plan to the distractors. Darksion notices the scheming… and shrugs it off.

CONFESSIONAL:

Darksion: It’s probably a pep talk!

CONFESSIONAL:

Lance: Now I need to hope that Rubix is not entirely mad at me!

[FIFTEENTH ROUND]

The vacuum cleaner shakes aggressively as six white dots appear. A dot on the top turns green, with the words "F O C U S" right in front of them.

Dandy (from the speakers): And oops, did I forget… you’re getting two additional members of your team.

Finn and Lightning return to the room, finger-gunning the cast.

Dandy (from the speakers): Finn will help the Efficient Extractors, while Lightning will help the Defiant Distractors. Ready, Toons?

Finn: Ready when you are!

Lance: Oh no…

The white dots are flying around, hiding behind some squares with random arrows that keep changing direction. Lance eyes the correct dot, and tries to stay as far away from it as possible, while the Efficient Extractors follow his lead.

Finn and Lightning run in random directions, hitting the walls by accident.

CONFESSIONAL:

Lightning: Ow…

CONFESSIONAL:

Finn: Sharks go meow! Haha… (falls over)

The dots turn into Dandy’s colours as the strobing lights and music stops. Lance distracts the Efficient Extractors onto the wrong section, while the Defiant Distractors take the opposite direction.

Darksion: Hold on… why are they not in the same spot as you?

Lance: (lying) Oh, I don’t know… maybe they figured out the dot is in their spot instead?

Finn and Lightning collapse and succumb to epilepsy and dizziness on a wrong section. The correct section gets revealed, glowing green.

Lance: (lying) Well, guess I’ve gotten this one wrong! Silly me!

Rubix: Wait… what?

Lance: (to Rubix) I’ll explain everything after this, k?

Rubix nods. Finn and Lightning get shot… followed by Lance and the remaining Efficient Extractors. June looks pretty alarmed, while Goob pats her head.

Goob: It’s fine… it’s all part of the plan… right?

June:…Haha… it’s just tranquillisers… they’ll be awake…

CONFESSIONAL:

June laughs in traumatised.

The Toons are back in the Projector Room, now no longer tranquillised. June runs over to Lance and hugs him.

June: OH MY GOD, you got me worried for a sec!

Lance: Hey, at least we won!… Look, we’ll… I… it was a game move, ok? Just… don’t think too much about it.

June: Alright… haha… Please don’t make us worry like this ever again.

Lance: I can’t… promise that. But we’ll always be back together in the end.

June: Ok… So, we kick back and relax and maybe play some video games together?

Lance: Alright…

Meanwhile, Darksion and Bobette are discussing the vote together.

Darksion: I mean, I heard that… Lance’s alliance is targeting Coal next!

Bobette: My… Coal? WHAT?! NO…

Darksion: And Lance’s alliance is… cross team! If I’m not wrong… Rubix is in that alliance!

Bobette: Uh huh… so?

Darksion: Maybe it’s time to show Lance… that he doesn’t have control over the votes. Mweheheheh…

Rubix overhears the conversation and talks with Toodles, Rodger and Spectra

Rubix: Ok, I might be in danger here… but we’ve got a majority! If we can all vote for Darksion, we can still be in the game.

Spectra: Uh huh…

Toodles: Wait… that stone?

Rodger: I don’t know… we’ve been talking lately…

Toodles: About what?

Rodger: Important stuff…

Rubix: Uh oh…

Rodger: Not related to the game. It’s about a certain… Twisted.

Rubix: Phew…

Rodger: I… don’t really know who…

Toodles: Well…

Rubix: JUST… you can talk after the show, got it?

Rodger: Yeah, but… BUT… we’re getting closer to crack this!

Rubix: It’s just a few days, after this you can continue with whatever chats, ok?

Rodger: B…but-

Rubix: (sighs) You can wait, right?

Rodger: No…?

Rubix walks away from Toodles and Rodger, a little disappointed.

Toodles:…I don’t want Spectra in this game, she’s a little mean…

Rodger: Hmm… you’re right!

[ELIMINATION CEREMONY]

Dandy: Welcome, Efficient Extractors, to your second elimination ceremony! As usual, please write down your votes on these slips of paper and cast them into this ballot box!

The Toons are voting for who they want out. Rubix worriedly looks at the camera while writing down his vote.

Darksion: Looks like it’s… (reveals his vote for Rubix) not your time to shine.

Spectra: (reveals her vote for Darksion) Sorry, but you’re honestly kinda bossy… and you tried to kill Dandy on multiple occasions.

Dandy reads the votes and passes them to Yatta.

Dandy: Ok, we’ve got your votes! Dyle, tell us why some of you… might be going home!

Dyle: Darksion.

Darksion: What.

Dyle: You fell for Lance’s trap and costed the entire team the challenge.

Darksion: WHAT?!

Dyle:…and Spectra.

Spectra: Hold on, what?!

Dyle: I don’t know, you’ve been mean to half the cast during your stay.

Spectra: Most of them suck anyway… except for Rubix. I’d consider him a friend.

Rubix: Thanks.

Spectra and Rubix fist bump.

Dandy: Yatta?

Yatta: YOU KNOW IT… TOODLES GETS A CANDY AHAHAHAH!

Yatta throws a candy into Toodles’s mouth, as she eats it… she spits it out and takes the wrapper out and throws it onto the floor.

Spectra:…At least throw it in the trash can next time!

Toodles (mouth stuffed with candy):…Ok.

Toodles loudly chews her candy.

Dandy: And last but definitely not the least, who’s going home? HAHAHA… First vote… Spectra.

Spectra looks slightly offended but unsurprised.

Dandy: Second vote… Rubix!

Rubix: WAIT WHAT?!

Spectra: Oh boy… please not him… PLEASE NOT HIM…

Dandy: Third vote, Darksion! Unsurprising. Fourth vote… Darksion!

Darksion:…Ok, if it’s because of Lance’s trick, I’m not surprised.

Dandy: Uh huh… Fifth vote, Spectra.

Spectra: Oh no… OH NO…

Dandy: Sixth vote… Rubix. That’s two votes Rubix, two votes Spectra… two votes Darksion.

Rubix and Spectra hug each other, scared that one of them might be going home.

Rubix: Whatever happens next, we’ll meet each other again on the other side.

Spectra: But… who will I talk to after you’re gone.

Rubix: You’re stronger than you think, Spectra. I know you’ll push through.

Spectra: I’ll try…

Rubix: And fourth Toon voted off the Million Tape Game 2: Distractors VS Extractors is…

The camera alternates between Rubix, Darksion and Spectra… before focusing on Dandy.

Dandy: Rubix. That’s 3-2-2, you must go.

Darksion: Phew…

Spectra is crying a little, while Rubix accepts his defeat and walks off.

Spectra: I’ll walk you to the Elevator of Shame.

Rubix: Thanks…

FINAL CONFESSIONAL:

Rubix: Honestly, a little shook about my elimination… but yeah. My co-host status might put a large target on my back. And to any of my fans… (enthusiastic) DON’T ROOT FOR DARKSION. CRUSH HIM TO THE GROUND!

Rubix and Spectra are at the Elevator of Shame. They hug each other, before Rubix steps into the Elevator of Shame and waves Spectra goodbye.

Dandy is in tears.

Dandy: Oh… It’s fine… Looks like Rubix is out of the competition! A little surprising, but at least Vee’s unhappy with that result! Haha… anyways, who will lose their focus? Who will prevail? Find out, next time… on the Million Tape Game 2: Distractors VS Extractors!

Chapter Text

Dandy: Last time on the Million Tape Game, our final thirteen had their senses put to the test in the most mesmerizing focus challenge ever! Twists, literal turns were everywhere, including some obstacles… and previous contestants? That’s right! In the end, Lance outsmarted the Efficient Extractors, causing all of them to be out of the challenge! And did I forget, I accidentally tranquillised Toodles! High ratings, here I come! Anyways, twelve Toons remain, who still has their eyes on the prize? Find out, next time… on the Million Tape Game 2: Distractors VS Extractors!

[intro]

Darksion and Rodger are sneaking into the Office at night. Toodles is following the two

Toodles: Hi! What are you… two doing?

Darksion: None of your business.

Rodger: (to Darksion) Maybe tone it down a little?… (to Toodles) I don’t think you might be interested in this. Best go back to sleep.

Toodles: Uh huh… But… BUT!

Rodger: I’m sorry, Toods… but you have to go. It’s… ahh…

Time skip. Rodger, Darksion and Toodles are looking at CCTV cameras. Toodles is loudly eating popcorn, while Darksion fails to keep her quiet, trying not to wake up Dandy and Dyle.

Toodles: WHAT IS THAT?!-

Darksion: Holy [censored], KEEP IT DOWN-

Rodger: THERE’S A LITERAL CHILD HERE-

Someone steps on a stick near the Office, startling the three into dead silence.

Toodles:…What was that?

Rodger shrugs.

CONFESSIONAL:

Goob:…I needed that midnight snack.

Time skip. June and Jonathan are chatting with each other in the Dining Hall.

Jonathan: I wonder what we’re getting for lunch!

June: Wait… LUNCH?!…

CONFESSIONAL:

June: Ok, I overslept last night… but don’t blame me, I was playing video games!

Flashback. June and Bobette are playing Grand Theft Auto V. Lance can be seen on the floor, fast asleep. "Two-Player Game" from Be More Chill can be heard in the background, while Spectra wakes up annoyed by the noise.

Spectra: June… Bobette… KEEP IT DOWN, I’M TRYING TO SLEEP!

June: Ok. (turns volume down by one)

Spectra slaps her face and throws a remote onto the TV, destroying it and setting it up on flames.

Bobette:… Hahah… we’ll go back to sleep-

Scraps, woken up by the smoke smell, extinguishes the fire.

CONFESSIONAL:

June: And now the TV is out of order… Just kidding! Dandy somehow replaced the TV within one day!

Dandy (from the speakers): And that’s the LAST TV I HAVE.

Lance flies over to June and Jonathan, holding a little menu.

Lance: Good afternoon, my fellow contestants! Now, what pasta would you a…like-a?

Jonathan:…Carbonara.

June: Oh… maybe, spaghetti with tomato sauce and meatballs?

Jonathan: Changed my mind… what June ordered!

Lance: Awesome! Sit back and relax while I’ll get your orders ready!

Lance flies off into the kitchen.

Meanwhile, Darksion and Bassie are talking strategy.

Darksion: Whew… somehow managed to get Rubix out!

Bassie: Ok, I guess?

Darksion: It was really hard… and Rubix was also trying to stay in the game, so… It was all up to Toodles and Rodger and they uhh… voted Spectra!… for some… reason.

Bassie: Honestly, Spectra can be a little aloof and mean, so she would definitely get a vote or two.

Darksion: Yeah. Though, I would save her up for an easy merge boot. She’s unlikable and honestly, easy to convince everyone to vote off!

The camera pans up to reveal Spectra on the ceiling, overhearing everything.

CONFESSIONAL:

Spectra: Not if I eliminate you first.

Lance quickly serves Jonathan and June some spaghetti

Lance: Enjoy!

Jonathan and June prepare to chow down on spaghetti… if not for Dandy’s surprise announcement

Dandy (from the speakers): Attention, contestants! Meet me at the Elevator of Shame for your next challenge!

Jonathan: Wanna see who eats our spaghetti the fastest?

June: Sure!

Jonathan and June quickly stuff spaghetti into their mouths, as some Toons are seen leaving for the challenge.

The Toons are assembled in the Elevator of Shame, now going down.

Dandy: Welcome, final twelve, to your next challenge!

Pebble: (whine whine) [I’m hungry…]

Dandy: That’s right! There’s some tasty snacks for Pebble in this floor! There are two bags, yellow for the Defiant Distractors and purple for the Efficient Extractors! You need to traverse this floor, get the bag and return. First team to return with their bag wins!

Lance: Pfft, easy.

Dandy: Easy?! HAH! It’s way harder than it looks! Plus, the losing team… will LOSE TWO MEMBERS!

Spectra: Hold on, two?

Dandy: Yes. You will vote out one member normally. Following that, a member from the opposing team will personally vote one member out.

Spectra: Oh no.

Darksion:…So, we protect each other with this… twist?

Bassie: Haha… yeah! We… have each others backs, right?

Darksion: Of… course.

Dandy: Ok, have fun!

The Elevator of Shame opens, revealing a dark floor. Laughter can be heard in the background.

Darksion: Oh no…

CONFESSIONAL:

Darksion: NO, ANYONE but… him.

Darksion: Ok, Extractors, STAY VERY CLOSE.

Spectra: Ok, why?

Darksion: First of all, it’s very dark. Second of all, we will be safe.

Rodger: There is a very, VERY dangerous Twisted here. You can’t outrun him, not even Bassie!

Bassie is eating some gumballs

Bassie:…Wh… what?

Dandy: Oh, I just forgot! For winning the previous challenge… Defiant Distractors, you get a map!

Lance catches the map and reads it. It has the location of the bags

Lance: Ok, this is really dark, so FOLLOW CLOSELY.

June: Uh huh, ok…

Lance:…Where did everyone go?

Jonathan: Yeah… most of us just went off on our own, so guess it’s the three of us-

Darksion: Hold on, three of you WANDERED OFF?! First of all… (to Dandy) WHY DID YOU TRY TO KILL US AGAIN?!

Dandy: For the ratings!

Darksion:… (to everyone else) STAY VERY CLOSE. VERY, VERY CLOSE. NOTHING FUNNY

CONFESSIONAL:

Darksion: I know, I can just blindside the Distractors but that’s a different situation.

Dandy: Oh, Elevator’s closing down so… good luck!

Dandy pushes the remaining contestants into the abyss, and closes the Elevator of Shame.

Darksion: Don’t wander off.

Rodger:…If you need any help seeing, you can just peer through the back of my head!

Darksion: What.

Rodger: Trust me! It works!

Darksion peers through Rodger’s head.

Darksion: Oh wow… not really that good but at least it’s better than-

Bobette: Coal… COAL! WHERE IS COAL?! I’m COMING!

Bobette runs into the darkness to find Coal.

Darksion slaps his face.

Darksion:…I’d like to give my very sincere condolences to Bobette.

Meanwhile, Coal and Goob are walking in the darkness

Goob:…I don’t know… but… where are we?…

Coal: Bwoof. [Follow me.]

Goob: I’m starting to think going off alone is a bad idea.

Coal: Bork, bwuff- [It’s going to be fine-]

Something snatches Coal away, and kills her in cold blood. Goob freezes in fear as the mysterious figure drags Coal’s dead body away.

Goob:…Haha…

CONFESSIONAL:

Goob is screaming in horror

Meanwhile, Dandy and Dyle are sipping tea in the Projector Room

Dandy: So, tell me, ma charmante assistante, how’s the tea

Dyle: Utterly unsweet, mon élégant collègue

Coal spawns above Dandy and Dyle’s table, and breaks it.

Dandy:…Yeah… let’s just go to the dining hall instead.

Back in the dark floor, Goob follows the mysterious figure, led astray from the rest of the contestants

Goob: Hello… anyone?

The mysterious figure is no longer in sight, but Twisted Coal is right behind Goob, who turns around.

Goob: Hahah… good… dog?

Goob screams in horror as Twisted Coal attacks him, startling the remaining Toons.

Darksion: No… It can’t be.

Toodles: What… can’t be?

Darksion: It got Coal… and maybe Goob.

Toodles: What… got Coal?

Darksion: Hmm… the monster.

Toodles: What… oh, the one we observed last night?

Rodger: Yup! That thing. I’ll fill you up on everything after we’re done.

Connie’s screams can be heard as she gets dragged away into the darkness.

Jonathan:…What was that?!

Darksion: STAY WHERE YOU ARE. Hold on… 1 2 3 4 5 6 7… NO.

Spectra: What? Did someone forget to account for themselves?

Darksion: SOMEONE TOOK CONNIE AWAY.

Lance: Hold on, wait a minute… where did Connie go?

Darksion: SOMETHING TOOK CONNIE AWAY… and-

Twisted Coal stealthily runs towards the group, splitting them into two.

Lance: (accidentally uses an air-horn in panic) RUN!

Darksion: NO, DON’T. RUN.

Lance’s group runs into the darkness, trying to run away from Twisted Coal. Darksion slaps his face.

Toodles:…So, do we find them or what?

Darksion: It’s too unsafe. But again, hopefully they do NOT run in the darkness by themselves.

Spectra is indeed running by herself.

Spectra: HELLO, ANYONE?!… Where did everyone go…?… Well, this is fine-

Spectra notices a figure similar to Rubix in the background, through a window

Spectra:…What is that?… RUBIX?! You’re… here to save us?

The figure giggles a little, in a distorted voice. Spectra inches closer to "Rubix".

Spectra: Hi, Rubix! Been a while since we met… but… yeah, Dandy’s locked us up in some weird floor to get food for Pebble and-

"Rubix" detransforms, revealing the slender figure that killed Coal. It seemed to have a resemblance to Darksion. Spectra tries to run away and climb a nearby wall.

Spectra: HAH! Looks like you can’t get over here because you aren’t a-

The figure just so happens to be tall enough to get Spectra.

Spectra:…[censored]

[commercial break]

Spectra screams in the background, while Bobette is looking for Coal.

Bobette: Coal, baby? I… got your favourite snacks… Coal?!

The mysterious figure drags Spectra in the background, startling the bauble.

Bobette: I’ll just… take a step back and-

Bobette steps on a tape, as "I Love Play Rehersal" starts playing.

Bobette: Oh my God, SHUT UP-

Twisted Coal growls at Bobette.

Bobette: Haha… good… girl?

Lance swoops in and saves Bobette, dragging her into a nearby corner. Bobette starts to hyperventilate.

Lance:…Are you ok, Bobette?

Bobette: I just… I… I… WHY IS TWISTED COAL HERE?! THIS ISN’T HOLIDAY SEASON!

Lance: SHH, KEEP IT DOWN.

Bobette: OK, OK… ok… this volume?

Lance:…Sure. Anyways, I still got the map, so we’ll find the rest of the Toons and find the bags together.

Bobette nods. Twisted Connie floats near the two.

Lance: Oh… hi?

Bobette: Oh no… hold on… is that?

The monster breathes onto Lance and Bobette, as they scream in horror.

Meanwhile, Darksion’s group are still traversing the floor blindly. Rodger is leading everyone.

Toodles: Hold on… is that?

Rodger: What?

Toodles: The bags! We’re here!

Darksion picks up the Extractors’ bag.

Darksion: Let’s GO!

Jonathan is running away from something, passing by the three.

Darksion:…You two, GO. I’ll handle this monster.

Rodger: B… but?

Darksion: I SAID GO.

Darksion pushes Toodles and Rodger away to safety, and faces the monster.

Darksion: Oh, you want a fight? Well, I’ve got a fight you’ll won’t forget.

Darksion uses his active ability, stunning the monster. Toodles looks at the two from afar as Rodger runs for safety.

Jonathan runs into a wall, and falls over.

Jonathan: WHAT THE?!…Hello?

Jonathan accidentally steps on a tape, which plays Demi Lovato’s "Sorry Not Sorry"… the rock version.

Jonathan: NO… NONONONONONO-

Twisted Lance spots Jonathan from afar and hisses.

Jonathan: GET AWAY FROM ME GET AWAY FROM ME GET AWAY FROM ME!

Jonathan accidentally picks up a can of Pop… and hears malicious jingle bells.

Jonathan: Oh… no.

Meanwhile, Darksion and the monster are fighting. Darksion is holding a metal pipe he found.

Darksion: Take… THIS!

Darksion stabs the monster with the metal pipe, causing him to get slightly injured. He covers his hole with his left hand and kicks Darksion into some boxes. Darksion takes out that TomJake art book from season 1 and throws it onto the monster’s face.

CONFESSIONAL:

Darksion: Never fail, TomJake art book, never fail.

The monster swipes at Darksion a few times, but Darksion kicks its groin, causing it to topple over. Darksion triumphantly steps on the monster, now downed… the Twisteds of the Toons that fell corner Darksion.

CONFESSIONAL:

Darksion: Well, that couldn’t have gotten any worse.

Meanwhile, back at the Elevator of Shame, Toodles and Rodger leap into the Elevator, tired.

Toodles: Whew… that was tiring…

Rodger: Hold on… where’s the bag?

Toodles: We… left it inside the floor? Oh no…

June and Bassie run into the Elevator, tired.

Bassie: Oh my God… Twisted Goob was annoying.

June: Ok, next time, PLEASE DON’T SEND US INTO DARK FLOORS WITHOUT FLASHLIGHTS. I WAS BANGING ON RANDOM [censored] THE. ENTIRE. TIME.

Bassie: Hahah… that was a scary one… Hahahhah… heheh…

Back in the darkness, Jonathan is running aimlessly holding his team’s bag. Darksion swoops in and throws the bag away, forcing Jonathan to make a quick detour to get it back… if not for the Twisteds originally on Darksion. Darksion picks up his team’s bag and runs straight for the Elevator.

The camera shows two panels of Jonathan and Darksion, trying to get back into the Elevator and running endlessly, before cutting to the Elevator of Shame. The remaining survivors are anticipating for their return…

Darksion leaps into the Elevator of Shame first, while Jonathan drags his tired body to the Elevator and falls over, with a thumbs up. The Elevator of Shame closes on them. Dandy appears to congratulate the six.

CONFESSIONAL:

Darksion: Oh, by the way… that monster was… my Twisted. Rodger and I had little chats about it, and he could turn any Toon into a Twisted… hopefully the others are ok, but hey, at least we won!

Dandy: Congratulations, you six, on surviving this rather… dangerous floor!

Darksion:…Ok, WHY DID YOU SEND US DOWN TO DIE?!

Dandy: Bold coming from the person that has tried to kill me over and over again, but… for the ratings! Anyways, since you have managed to return with your bag first… Efficient Extractors WIN! Defiant Distractors, see you at tonight’s elimination ceremony.

Pebble: (whine) [Dandy, please don’t harm the contestants…]

Dandy: Oh, Pebble… no.

Pebble: Grr… [Bad owner.]

Dandy: Now if you don’t mind, I would like to have to… uhh… walk my fish! I mean… pet rock! See ya!

Dandy pushes the six out of the Elevator of Shame and into the Projector Room. All the fallen contestants wave at them like nothing has happened.

Bobette: So uhh… who won?

Darksion: We did.

The Efficient Extractors cheer.

Time skip. The Efficient Extractors are at the bean bags at night, discussing who they want to send down as their representative. Dyle is standing in front of them, slightly impatient.

Dyle: So, who would you like to send down to tonight’s elimination ceremony?

Spectra: ME! MEmememmememem-

Rodger: I’d like to nominate Darksion.

Darksion: Yeah, I’d gladly nominate myself.

Rodger: He’s managed to bring us to safety… tried to.

Dyle:…Anyone not in favour?

Spectra: Well, ME!

Dyle: Anyone in favour?

Darksion, Toodles and Rodger raise their hands.

Connie: Couldn’t care less.

Bobette: It’s alright… I’m not the "eliminate person" type… haha…

Darksion: Then, that makes it three against one… lol.

Spectra: UGH!

Spectra sulks and stands in the corner, as the camera pans down to Shelly’s floor.

[ELIMINATION CEREMONY]

Dandy: Welcome, Defiant Distractors… to your most deadliest elimination ceremony yet. Why? You’re saying goodbye to two members. One through normal voting… and…

Darksion emerges from the Elevator of Shame, tauntingly waving at everyone.

Darksion: Surprise, [censored]! Remember when you tricked us into losing the Focus challenge? Well, I HAVE COME BACK… TO TAKE OUR REVENGE! MWAHAHAHAH!

Darksion sits right next to Lance, maliciously smiling at the dragon. Lance edges himself away from Darksion.

Dandy: As usual, write down your votes on a slip of paper and we’ll settle them.

The Defiant Distractors are seen writing down their votes.

Jonathan: I… honestly, you caused the most amount of problems in this challenge. (reveals vote for Coal)

Jonathan ironically helps Coal vote.

Coal: Bwoof. [I’m voting Lance.]

Lance:… Honestly, about time she goes home. (reveals vote for Coal)

June is scribbling down her note, before Dandy reads all of them.

Dandy: Alright, we’ve gotten all your votes. Dyle, mon très noble ami, tell us why some of us… are pain grillé éliminé.

Darksion: Ok, why are you speaking French all of a sudden?

Dandy: Because French!

Dyle: Coal. Your Twisted… was annoying in the challenge.

Coal: Bwoof. [Not my problem.]

Dyle: And Jonathan… you had ONE JOB. ONE. JOB.

Jonathan glares at Darksion, who shrugs.

Dandy: Well then!… Since Yatta has unfortunately gotten food poisoning, she won’t be able to give candies out for a while… so I’m just gonna read out all the votes and you can take your candy in this bag AFTER THE ELIMINATION CEREMONY.

Goob: Awww… I really loved the candies…

Dandy: First vote… Coal.

Coal stares at Dandy, unsurprised.

Dandy: Second vote… Lance. That’s one vote Coal, one vote Lance.

Lance gulps in fear.

Dandy: Third vote… Goob. Fourth vote… Coal. That’s one vote Goob, one vote Lance… and two votes Coal.

The camera alternates between Goob and Coal.

Dandy: Fifth vote… Goob!

Goob hugs himself in fear… as the camera alternates between Goob and Coal.

Dandy: That’s two votes Goob, and two votes Coal… and it all comes down to this final vote.

Goob hyperventilates and chews on his claws.

Dandy: Fifth Toon voted off the Million Tape Game 2: Distractors VS Extractors is… Coal. That’s a majority vote, you must go.

Coal, unfazed, walks off into the Elevator of Shame

Goob: Phew…

Dandy: Hold your horses! We haven’t heard from Resident Evil here…

Darksion: Wow, real funny Dandy! Real FUNNY.

Dandy: Darksion, buddy… haha… why don’t you-

Darksion punches Dandy in the face as he takes his spot on the bench.

Dandy: Just… say the name of the person you want out and… they’re out! It’s that simple… really!

Darksion: Sixth Toon out the Million Tape Game is… a huge threat and challenge powerhouse… I’m sorry Lance, but it’s time for you to go.

Lance: Hold on… WHAT?!

Dandy: You heard the stone himself, Lance! You’re OUT!

Lance: No… NO… WHY?! I…

Darksion: (taunting) Looks like Lance is losing his words!

Lance: YOU… YOU… YOU-

Dandy: Ok, Dyle… can you help throw Lance into the Elevator of Shame? We don’t want a… murder filmed live on set.

Dyle: On it, Dandicius.

Dandy: (sighs)…I’ll get used to it.

Dyle picks up an angry Lance, trying to set himself free from his grasp.

FINAL CONFESSIONAL:

Lance: Ok, I was good at challenges, I had a strong alliance and I was THIS CLOSE to getting the million… if not for Darksion here just saying, "lol, ur out! suck on that"… Yeah, that’s right… you better watch your ugly chopped back, Darksion… cos when my brother hears about this he’s-

Dandy (from the speakers): Yeah… we’re going to have to cut your crash out short.

Lance: LET ME GO!

Dyle throws Lance into the Elevator of Shame. Coal growls at him, slightly angrily.

Lance: As if things couldn’t get any worse.

Coal barks as Dyle rushes in to hold the pet rock back. The Elevator of Shame closes.

Darksion: Voila! Looks like your strongest team member is out!…

Goob: So?

Darksion:…You do realise I have control over every single elimination there is, right?

Bassie: Yeah… haha… right! Yes…

The camera cuts back to Dandy.

Dandy: What a shocker! Lance is somehow OUT of the competition because of some twist. I mean, he’s cool, popular and good at challenges!… He’s supposed to be making it further!… Anyways, with our Distractors now crippled at four, will they ever prevail? Who will take the crown and who will die in the dark? Find out, next time… on the Million Tape Game 2: Distractors VS Extractors!

Chapter Text

Dandy: Last time on the Million Tape Game, our teams ventured into the darkness to find the most scrumptious dog food for my pet rock, Pebble!

Pebble:…

Dandy: It uhh… I… anyways, a dangerous Twisted was constantly hunting them down, killing our contestants and turning them into Twisteds! Don’t worry, all of them were safe! Darksion and Rodger used their knowledge of this Twisted to try and guide everyone to safety… to no avail. With a narrow win by the Efficient Extractors, they saved themselves from a rather tumultuous double elimination! Coal was eliminated… normally, but to everyone’s surprise… Lance took the L because of Darksion’s… uhh… strategic move! Ohh no, looks like someone’s big bro’s mad!… LOL.

Dyle: Ok, if you-

[static]

Dandy: Anyways, ten Toons remain? Who will take the crown, and who will be lost in the darkness forever? Find out, right here… on the Million Tape Game 2: Distractors VS Extractors!

[intro]

Darksion is chatting with Bassie.

Darksion: And then, I shoved that damn TomJake book into that Twisted’s skull! IT WINCED IN PAIN… and-

Bassie: Did you kill it?

Darksion: Well… yeah!

Bassie: That’s nice… it’s hard to directly attack Twisteds… only a few of us Toons are capable of that feat. Hmm…

Darksion:…Also, mind if I… talk to Rodger for a quick second?

Bassie: Sure… what are you talking about with him?

Darksion: I’ll see if I can convince him to not vote me off… and I’ve got a little trick up my sleeve.

Darksion and Rodger are at the beanbags. Rodger is slightly upset.

Darksion: OK, I’m SORRY for voting Lance out but… I hope you understand. He is a HUGE THREAT.

Rodger: I’m not mad… I’m just disappointed. Anyways, I… know we’ve worked well in the past but this is utterly unacceptable.

Darksion: Look, whatever happens here is all part of the game. Plus, you’re willing to throw away all sense of morality for a million tapes, right?

Rodger: I… I- Just don’t do this again, please?

Darksion: I can’t promise such, but please keep in mind, it’s not personal.

Rodger: Fine.

Darksion: And also please check in on Toodles, just in case?

Rodger: (sighs) I’ll go check in on Toodles. She’s a little bit… upset.

Darksion: Remember, Rodger, it’s just a game. Whatever we do in here does not get in the way of whatever we do… out of here, mk?

Rodger: Sure.

Darksion: Be sure to talk to Toodles about this! Maybe that would cheer her up?

Rodger: Alright, thanks!-

Darksion: And by the way, before you go… there’s something I want to tell you…

Rodger: Huh?

Darksion shows Rodger his Immunity Idol.

Darksion: Wanna form an alliance?

Rodger: Oh… uhh…

Darksion: Think about it, I’m in control of the game. I decide who stays and who goes! If you want that sweet spot in the finale, I’m your only option!

Rodger: Well… I… I…

Darksion: Form alliance? Yes, or yes?

Rodger: I’m already in an alliance with-

Darksion: Lance is dead and gone, and this alliance lost its two strongest members! At this point, it’s either me or the Elevator of Shame.

Rodger: Well… only on ONE condition.

Darksion: What?

Rodger: Don’t even THINK of voting Toodles off, got it?

Darksion: Got it.

Rodger and Darksion shake hands.

CONFESSIONAL:

Rodger: That felt a little off… but we’ve worked well together a few times, so… Hopefully he does not pull the same stunt he did with Lance.

CONFESSIONAL:

Darksion:…Believe it or not, I am a Toon of my word… mostly.

CONFESSIONAL:

Toodles: WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHH!!! I MISS LANCE ALREADYYYYYYYYY!!!

Toodles falls off the chair. She seems to be having a tantrum

Toodles: I HATE DARKSION! HE’S A MEANIE! WHY DID HE ELIMINATE MY FRIEND!? RAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!!!

CONFESSIONAL:

Toodles:…I’m… I’m telling Rodger about this! I don’t want that monster around us anymore!

Toodles is bawling in the bedroom, annoying Spectra

Spectra: Gosh, Toodles, KEEP IT DOWN if you want to stay in the game.

Toodles: LANCE… I MISS YOU… WAAAAAAHHHH!!!

Spectra:…It’s not the end of the world, crybaby.

Toodles: I’M NOT A CRYBABY!

Spectra: Then SHUT. UP.

Toodles:…WAAAAAHHH!!! I HATE YOU DARKSIONnnn…

Spectra flips Toodles off and takes the other Elevator to the Dining Hall

Spectra and Connie are talking about Toodles’s crash out

Connie: Ooooh… tell me more!

Spectra: And then, Darksion eliminated Lance… like no one cares and one less threat to worry about… and Toodles is bawling like a [censored]-ing baby.

Connie: What did the tears taste like?

Spectra: Pure annoyance.

June runs out with some frozen yoghurt

June: Frozen yoghurt for two?

Spectra:…Sure.

Spectra and Connie eat some frozen yoghurt and continue gossiping about the cast.

Meanwhile, Rodger tries to console Toodles.

Rodger: Toodles… TOODLES! Are you… ok?

Toodles: WAHH… NO. I HATE YOU DARKSION!… I want Darksion out as soon as possible.

Rodger: Oh… well… I… don’t think that’s possible right now!… I…

Bobette: Hey, Toodles and Rodger… Uhh…

Rodger: Toodles is slightly upset so… (pushes Bobette into the other Elevator) can we have some privacy?

Bobette: Oh well… sure!

Bobette takes the other Elevator to the Projector Room. Rodger and Toodles face each other

Rodger: Whatever happens, he wants to-

Toodles: I DON’T WANT TO HEAR A SINGLE WORD FROM THAT… THAT… that… THAT [censored]!

CONFESSIONAL:

Rodger stares at the camera, shocked.

Rodger is sitting on his chair, still shaken by Toodles’s vulgarity. Goob checks on him, trying to shake him out of his trance

Goob: Hello, Earth to Rodger… are you ok? Rodger?

No response.

Goob: RODGER?! RODGER!! RODGER!!!!…

Still no response.

Goob scratches his head for a while, before pulling Rodger in for a hug… Rodger is still as still as a statue.

Goob: Huh… eh, he’ll be fine!

Goob drops Rodger onto the floor like a stack of heavy books.

Dandy (from the speakers): Attention, final ten! Meet me at the Elevator of Shame for your next challenge!

Goob: Oh, well, time to go!

Goob drags Rodger’s frozen body to the other elevator

CONFESSIONAL:

Rodger: Owww…

The final ten are assembled inside the Elevator of Shame. Toodles is distancing herself far away from Darksion.

Dandy: Welcome, final ten… to today’s challenge!

Dyle: Who’s ready for a mountain hike?!

Goob: OOOH, ME ME! ME! I’M READY!

Jonathan: Mountain… hike? COUNT ME IN.

Bobette: Well… yeah! This sounds fun!

Dandy: Awesome! However… this isn’t your regular mountain hike. There will be lots and LOTS of obstacles along the way… anyways, first team to arrive at the summit wins!… and take as much time as you want, it’s meant to be a very long challenge!

Jonathan: Like… CAMPING?!

Dandy: Uh huh… like camping.

Jonathan: OH MY GOD THIS IS THE BEST I LOVE YOU DANDY… ehh, platonically…

Dandy nods.

Dandy: Anyways… for winning yesterday’s challenge… the Efficient Extractors get awesome mountain bikes situated right next to the Elevator! Good luck!

FROM THIS POINT ON, FOR THIS EPISODE ONLY, ALL CONFESSIONALS TAKES PLACE IN A CAVE (well lit during daytime)

Dyle pushes the final ten out of the Elevator of Shame and onto the mountain. Shrimpo is standing right in front of them, dressed as a park ranger.

Shrimpo: LISTEN HERE, MAGGOTS!

Jonathan: Hahah… yes, Shrimpo?…

Shrimpo: THIS MOUNTAIN IS DANGEROUS, AND I HATE DANGEROUS PLACES!!

Goob: So, you’re just gonna help us-

Shrimpo: I HATE BEING YOUR GUIDE, LOSERS!

Goob: Is that a yes?

Shrimpo:… (sighs) YES. ANYWAYS, TAKE YOUR MAPS AND SCRAM!

Shrimpo throws maps onto Rodger and Jonathan.

Shrimpo: AND FOLLOW ME!

Shrimpo storms up the mountain, as the Toons follow. The Efficient Extractors get on their bikes… and overtake Shrimpo.

Shrimpo: Oh, SURE… USE THOSE BIKES, SURELY THERE’S NOTHING DANGEROUS!

Bassie: Wait… dangerous?!

Spectra’s bicycle falls gets stuck in a hidden geyser… that shoots her up and causes her to crash onto Jonathan

Jonathan: OWw…

Spectra: Huh, must’ve been an ant or something. (casually walks away)

Shrimpo: I TOLD YOU SO, STUPIDS!

The Defiant Distractors are following Shrimpo, with Jonathan holding a map

Jonathan: Wait… there’s a little mountain shop nearby… maybe there’s something there?

Shrimpo: I’D IGNORE THAT IF I WERE YOU, BOZO!

Jonathan: Wow, don’t need to be that rude for a shorty-

Shrimpo: WHAT DID YOU JUST CALL ME?!

Jonathan: A… shorty?

Shrimpo: YOU WANT SHORT? SHRIMPO WILL GIVE YOU SHORT-

Jonathan: Yeah, as if you can deal a huge blow-

Shrimpo knees Jonathan in the groin, as the marshmallow winces in pain.

Jonathan: I… take that back!

Shrimpo grins confidently.

Meanwhile, Toodles is cycling with June walking beside her.

June: It’s ok, Toodles… it’s going to be fine-

Toodles: IT’S NOT FINE!

June: It’s still three against one. We can still vote Darksion off… unless he’s in cahoots with someone else.

Toodles: Great. I WANT HIM OUT. NOW!

June: Toodles, I know Darksion voted off Lance… he was our friend, but we shouldn’t let this get into our head. He’s messing with our minds, and will pick us out one by one if we let it get to your heads.

Toodles: I DON’T CARE. I WANT DARKSION ELIMINATED!

June: We’ll get him out as soon as possible. For now, stick to the challenge, ok?

Toodles lets out a ear-piercing scream, causing some loose rocks to tumble down… in Spectra’s direction.

Spectra: Oh my God, not again!

CONFESSIONAL:

Spectra: Is this challenge specifically designed to TORTURE ME?!

Meanwhile, Goob and Jonathan are snacking on some dried strawberries. Shrimpo is still leading them up the mountain.

Goob: Mmm… Shrimpo, want some?

Shrimpo smacks Goob’s pack of dried strawberries off his hands. They fall down the mountain, but Goob drags them back to him.

Shrimpo:…I HATE DRIED FOOD!

Goob: What about fresh food?

Shrimpo: I HATE FRESH FOOD TOO!!

Goob: Uh huh…

Jonathan: WHAT IS THAT-

The camera zooms out, revealing a cliff that they arrived. There is a ramp that leads them up the mountain next to them.

Shrimpo:…That is a CLIFF! and SHRIMPO WANTS TO PUSH YOU OFF-

Jonathan: Ohoho, don’t you dare.

Shrimpo:…FINE.

Shrimpo sulks and crosses his arms.

Goob: Uhh… guys? It’s starting to get late.

Shrimpo: ALRIGHT, MAGGOTS. WE’RE SETTING CAMP HERE! I’VE GOT A TENT, AND MARSHMALLOW MAN, SET UP THE CAMPSITE.

Jonathan: Yes, sir!

Time skip. Goob, Jonathan and Shrimpo are at their cliffside campsite, roasting some marshmallows. Shrimpo pulls out an acoustic guitar

Shrimpo:…I ASKED FOR ELECTRIC, NOT ACOUSTIC!

Jonathan: So… mind if I-

Shrimpo throws the guitar onto Jonathan’s face. Jonathan picks the guitar up and starts strumming it.

Jonathan: Ok… here goes… sometimes life goes easy, sometimes life goes dodododo… dodododo…

Shrimpo:…I HATE THIS SONG!

Goob: Sometimes minds go crazy, sometimes minds go dodododo… Come on, sing with us, Shrimpo!… Dodododo…

Meanwhile, June, Toodles, Rodger and Darksion set up camp in a dark place.

Darksion:…Does anyone here know-

Toodles: SHUT UP.

Darksion: I said, does anyone here-

Toodles: NO ONE CARES-

Rodger: Alright, you two… QUIT IT.

June: It’s probably very late… there’s absolutely no way-

Stoned footsteps can be heard on the mountain.

June: There… there’s absolutely no way Twisted Pebble is here…

Rodger: TWISTED… PEBBLE!

Rodger screams and hits a wall, and falls into a cave.

Darksion:…There’s absolutely no way anyone is having the time of their lives singing songs like some elementary school camp.

Cut back to Goob, Shrimpo and Jonathan.

Goob, Shrimpo and Jonathan: Piggy, piggyback won't you take me piggyback? Won't you? Piggy, piggyback won't you take me piggyback? Won't you? Piggy me back won't you take me piggyback? Won't you? Piggy, piggyback won't you take me piggyback?

Goob: ‘Cos all I want is you…

Jonathan: All I want is you…

Goob: And how I hope it’s true…

Jonathan: How I hope it’s true…

Goob and Jonathan: And I’ll be feeling blue…

Goob, Shrimpo and Jonathan: Won’t you piggy, piggyback, won’t you piggy me back won’t you…

Goob and Jonathan kiss each other… for some reason.

CONFESSIONAL:

Jonathan: That felt… right?

CONFESSIONAL:

Goob: Oh…

Goob: Ok… that felt… unusual!

Jonathan: Yeah… haha… let’s just-

Shrimpo hears something in the distance.

Shrimpo: IN THE TENT. NOW!

Goob, Jonathan and Shrimpo huddle inside their tent. A shadowy figure can be seen through the tent.

Goob: What was that…?

Shrimpo: STAND BACK, MONSTER!

Jonathan: Mon…ster? This is fine! Hahha… I’ve dealt with-

Connie floats into the tent, scaring Jonathan. Jonathan screams.

Connie:…I just came here to say hi.

CONFESSIONAL:

Connie: Sheesh, why is Jonathan so overdramatic?

Back at Darksion’s camp… The mysterious figure wakes Toodles up.

Toodles: What?

The mysterious figure is trying to mask their own voice.

?: You want revenge for your friend getting voted out, right?

Toodles: Yeah… how did you know?

?:…You whined about it a lot last night… anyways, if you want him out, take this.

The mysterious figure passes Toodles a pointed stick.

Toodles: Do… you want me to-

?: NO… no… You can puncture your team’s bikes… this will slow them down and give the Distractors the edge… You can blame Darksion for the act and vote him off!

Toodles: Yeah… but… it’s wrong!

?: Nothing’s ever… wrong in this game. A million tapes is on the line! Do you want Darksion to win the million or not?

Toodles: Hmm…

?: Say, he could pick June out if you win… June’s part of your alliance, right?

[confessional break]

?: Say, he could pick June out if you win… June’s part of your alliance, right?

Toodles: Yeah… but.

?: Look, if your team wins, June will be out. If your team loses, this is your chance to take Darksion out. What will it be, young lady?

Toodles: I… I… UGH!

?:…Can you… keep it down, heheh…?

Toodles: Fine…

?: Take the stick and puncture the bicycles! It’s your only option.

Toodles: I… I…

CONFESSIONAL:

Toodles: On one hand, this is wrong… on the other hand… I really want to get Darksion out as soon as possible…

Toodles: I… I… don’t want to do it.

?: It’s not like you’ve got a choice anyways.

The mysterious figure grips Toodles hard and forces the stick onto Toodles’s hands. They make Toodles puncture the bicycles.

Toodles: NO… WHY?!

?: It’s like what I’ve said… you don’t have a choice.

Toodles stares at the mysterious figure angrily, who walks into the shadows like nothing has ever happened.

Morning comes. Darksion wakes up, horrified. He screams, waking up June and Rodger.

Rodger: IT’S SIX IN THE MORNING! WHAT NOW?!

Darksion: Someone SABOTAGED OUR BICYCLES!

The camera turns to the bicycles, with their wheels punctured.

June is already gone.

Darksion: JUNE… I know you did this… I just KNOW IT.

Toodles is sitting there, glum… she still hates Darksion.

Rodger: Toodles, let’s go.

Toodles: NO.

Rodger: Let’s go. It’s… Fine, you can stay here for as long as you like-

Darksion picks Toodles up and forces her to go with him.

Rodger: Or… maybe not!

Meanwhile, Connie and Spectra were discussing about the bicycle sabotage.

Connie: Did you hear that? Someone went to Darksion’s camp and punctured the bicycles?

Spectra: WHAT?!

Connie:…Mweheheh…

Spectra: Oh, right! You saw it happen didn’t you?

Connie: Yup! Though… I don’t think Toodles did it on purpose.

Spectra: Ok, spare me the deets afterwards-

Bobette enters their tent, gesturing them to leave for the summit.

Bobette: Let’s go, girls! We’ve got a mountain to climb!

Spectra: Sure… Ok.

Connie floats out of the tent and haunts her bicycle. The bicycle rattles, gesturing Spectra to ride it. Spectra gets onto the haunted bicycle, causing it to pedal twice as fast.

Bobette:…That’s interesting!

Bobette dismantles the tent and tries to catch up with Connie and Spectra… who are already further up the mountain.

At the summit, Dandy and Dyle are relaxing, sipping on lemonade.

Dandy: Ahh… fresh lemonade! Beats any hot summer day, doesn’t it?

Dyle: Uh huh, yup!

Spectra and Connie arrive at the summit

Dandy: Looks like Spectra’s the first one to arrive! And oooh… what’s this?

The bicycle rattles on its own, before Connie emerges from it.

Connie: Correction! We’re the first ones to arrive.

Dandy: Awesome! (to the PA system) Attention, all remaining Toons! Connie and Spectra have made it to the top! CHOP. CHOP.

Bobette cycles to the top of the mountain.

Bobette: I’m here!… (falls over)

Dandy: (to the PA system) Bobette also made it to the top!

Meanwhile, Goob, Jonathan and Shrimpo are running through the mountain, trying to pick up their pace.

Jonathan: WE’RE RUNNING SHORT ON TIME!

Goob: Wait, what about June?!

Shrimpo: NO ONE CARES ABOUT THAT CALENDAR!

Goob: But… she’s our teammate!

Shrimpo: [censored] ME GENTLY WITH A CHAINSAW! DO I LOOK LIKE MOTHER TERESA? IF I DID, I WOULD’VE BACKTRACKED AND PICKED JUNE UP! PLUS, SHE WAS NEVER WITH US IN THE FIRST PLACE-

Twisted Pebble barks loudly, before charging at the three at full speed.

Goob: Oh… no.

Shrimpo: FLING ME.

Goob: Why?! IT’S DANGEROUS!

Shrimpo: I SAID FLING ME! ARE YOU DEAF?!

Goob reluctantly flings Shrimpo onto Twisted Pebble. Shrimpo lets out a heavy punch on the dog, causing it to lose balance and fall off the mountain.

Shrimpo: Heh, told you, bozos. NOW MOVE IT!

Meanwhile, Darksion and Rodger are traversing a dangerous part of the mountain. Rodger chances on a note.

Rodger: Hmm… (reads the note out loud)

dear diary,

punctured the bicycles because darksion sucks and is a chop hoe khia. he will pay!

regards, toodles

Darksion: TOODLES?!

Toodles: I… I DIDN’T DO IT, SOMETHING FORCED ME TO!

Darksion: Oh, then READ THAT [censored] NOTE!

Toodles: It’s NOT MY HANDWRITING!

Rodger: To be fair… how can Toodles leave it there?

Darksion: WE WERE FAST ASLEEP THEN, RODGER.

Toodles: Well, you were VERY RUDE, AND YOU HAVE THE AUDACITY TO BLAME ME FOR PUNCTURING THE BICYCLES? I mean, sure, I would do that… TO YOU ONLY. NOT RODGER AND ME!

Darksion: I don’t know, maybe you DID THAT SO THAT NO ONE KNOWS IT’S YOU.

Darksion and Toodles get into a verbal argument while Goob, Shrimpo and Jonathan awkwardly cross the dangerous part of the mountain.

Goob: Phew…

Shrimpo: MOVE IT. WE’RE ONE KILOMETRE AWAY!

Goob:…Oh boy…

Goob, Shrimpo and Jonathan quickly run for the summit… Meanwhile, June is running away from Twisted Finn.

June: Wait a minute… I can outwalk you!

June decides to take a stroll, outwalking Finn, who is looking very angry.

Goob, Shrimpo and Jonathan rush past June… as Shrimpo gets Finn’s aggro.

Goob: SHRIMPO!

Shrimpo: WHAT?!

Goob: Your boyfriend!

Shrimpo: I DON’T HAVE A BOY- (turns around to see Twisted Finn)… are you ok?… I MEAN [censored] OFF, SLOW TWISTED.

Twisted Finn gets emotionally damaged and turns away. Shrimpo proudly sneers at Twisted Finn.

June: Oh wow… thanks, I… guess?

Shrimpo: Please, I know how to handle my- I mean that stupid fishbowl. NOW LET’S GO!

Shrimpo drags June with him, while Goob and Jonathan rush to the summit in time.

Dandy: Oh, what’s this? Looks, like the Defiant Distractors are missing one person!

Connie: Oh no…

Bobette: Come on… you’ve got this…

Spectra: Please… We’re running out of time-

Bassie tiredly walks up the summit, and flops over.

Bassie: I’m… here…!

Dandy: (to the PA system) Looks like the Defiant Distractors win! Efficient Extractors, I’ll see you at tonight’s Elimination Ceremony!

Goob: YES!

Jonathan: We… DID IT!

Goob and Jonathan high five. Shrimpo joins in, forming a hand stack with the two.

CONFESSIONAL:

Shrimpo: I HATED THIS CHALLENGE… ehh… nah. IT’S AT LEAST TOLERABLE AT BEST!

The Toons are back at the Projector Room. Darksion is explaining why they lost.

Darksion: Ok, so TOODLES PUNCTURED OUR BIKES.

Toodles: What, NO I DIDN’T?!

Rodger: Ok, guys… just quit it!

Toodles and Darksion continue their back and forth argument, in front of Connie, Bobette and Spectra.

Spectra: So… do we vote Darksion or Toodles off… They’re starting to piss me off.

Connie and Bobette shrug.

Spectra: O… kay!

Rodger: JUST QUIT IT!

Time skip. Bassie and Darksion are discussing the vote.

Darksion: I… I… uhh… I promised that I won’t vote for Toodles… But… BUT-

Bassie: Oh… well, someone’s going to vote out Rodger… Someone from the opposing team convinced the girls to vote him out!

Darksion: Wait what?

Bassie: I don’t know, he’s the brains… of the group, right? He’s incredibly smart and hence… a huge threat?

Darksion: Oh no… I… need to walk my fish, BYE!

Darksion runs off.

[ELIMINATION CEREMONY]

Dandy: Welcome, Efficient Extractors… to tonight’s elimination ceremony! I know this has been a long challenge… but who cares? VOTE.

The Toons take turns voting. Darksion looks uneasy while writing down his vote, from both his promise and Rodger being "in danger" of getting eliminated.

Spectra: Honestly, [censored] off Toodles.

Bobette: I… I… uhh…

Rodger is a little confused on who to vote for. Dandy reads the votes.

Dandy: The votes are in? Awesome! Dyle, tell us why some of you… might be going home!

Dyle: Toodles… You punctured your team’s bicycles.

Toodles: WHAT?! NO I DIDN’T!

Dyle: The notes don’t lie!

Toodles:… B… BUT!

Dyle: And Darksion… I don’t know, Toodles would probably vote you off like this!

Darksion: Yeah… but… I… Ok… (mutters to self) Why is my name called… should Rodger be called instead… I don’t want to lose an alliance member this early but Rodger doesn’t seem to be… (to Dandy) DANDY?!

Dandy: What?

Darksion: I’d like to use my Immunity Idol… on Rodger.

Dandy: Ohoho… are you sure?

Darksion: Double sure.

Dandy: Anyways… guess who somehow quickly recovered from food poisoning-

Yatta falls through the vents and onto the table. She lands gracefully on one foot.

Yatta:…ME! MEMEMEMEMEME!

Dandy: Anyways… the Toon that did not receive any votes this ceremony… is Bobette!

Yatta throws a candy onto Bobette’s face. She catches it with her left hand.

Dandy: Ohoho… this will be slightly messy!… First vote… Darksion.

Darksion looks thoroughly offended.

Dandy: Second vote… Toodles!

Toodles glares at Darksion.

Dandy: That’s one vote Darksion, one vote Toodles! Third vote… oh, Connie?

Connie: Ok, WHAT DID I DO THIS TIME?!

Dandy: Fourth vote… ohoho… it’s Toodles! That’s two votes Toodles… one vote Darksion, one vote Connie.

Toodles: Oh… no…

Dandy: And seventh Toon voted off the Million Tape Game 2: Distractors VS Extractors is… Toodles! That’s three votes, you must go! The rest of you, help yourself to a piece of candy!

Toodles: First of all, I HATE YOU DARKSION I HATE YOU I HATE YOU I HATE YOU I HATE YOU!

Toodles storms out of Shelly’s floor and flips Darksion off. Darksion shows a look of offense.

Rodger: Did you just… VOTE TOODLES OFF?!

Darksion: What I… I… Just… I…

Rodger: You… and I… are SO DONE. The votes don’t add up!

Darksion: I could’ve voted for Connie, you wouldn’t know!

Rodger: I trusted you… so I VOTED CONNIE.

Darksion: I… I-

CONFESSIONAL:

Toodles: Am I surprised that I’m out? NO! Am I surprised that it’s Darksion who eliminated me? NO! Oh, that stupid stone-head will PAY! MWAHAHAHAH!… I’m going to make him regret even signing up for this competition.

Toodles enters the Elevator of Shame, surprisingly without resistance. Toodles flips the camera off

Toodles: (mocking Darksion) Oh, I’m Darksion and I’m so SO mean!

The Elevator of Shame closes on Toodles and goes up.

Dandy:…Whew… looks like the young Regina George… I mean Toodles, is OUT! Whew, her constant crash-outs are starting to… piss me off! Anyways, which Toon will fall of the mountain next? Who will reach the summit? Find out, next time… on The Million Tape Game 2: Distractors VS Extractors!

Chapter Text

Dandy: Last time on the Million Tape Game, our remaining ten victims went head to head in a mountain hike! First team to the summit wins Individual Immunity.  Despite the help of our trusty mountain guide Shrimpo, most of them went ahead, leaving behind Goob and Jonathan, who by the way… K-I-S-S-E-D. Toodles punctured some bicycles over her anger against Darksion… or did she?! In the end, Darksion got really upset because of the blindside, essentially handing the W to the Defiant Distractors! Toodles got the boot, but not after a bad Immunity Idol play from Darksion and Rodger finally turning against him! Nine Toons remain, who will reach the top? Find out, right here… on the Million Tape Game 2: Distractors VS Extractors!

[intro]

Darksion and Rodger are facing away from each other, clearly upset over last night’s elimination. June tries to check in on them.

June: Hey uhh… guys?

Rodger: Darksion HAD ONE JOB, NOT VOTE TOODLES.

Darksion: WELL, SHE SABOTAGED US. SHE DESERVED TO GO HOME.

Rodger: YOU PROMISED

June: Guys? Breakfast is-

Rodger: IT’S NOT HERE! THE EVIDENCE WAS FAKED.

Darksion: Yeah, AS IF THAT’S NOT TOODLES’S HANDWRITING!

June: Guys, calm down… please?

Rodger: [censored] YOU.

Darksion: [censored] YOU TOO.

Rodger and Darksion hurl censored slurs at each other. June awkwardly backs off and runs into the other Elevator. Spectra and Connie are waiting for her inside.

Connie: So, how did it go?

June: Horrible.

Spectra: Hold on… let me…

Spectra takes the camera from the other Elevator and uses it to record Darksion and Rodger’s argument.

CONFESSIONAL:

Dandy: And THAT was the first time someone stole a camera from set.

Meanwhile, Shrimpo is practicing his electric guitar inside the gym. Goob enters the gym

Goob: Nice guitar shred, Shrimpo!

Shrimpo:…I HATE COMPLIMENTS, AND I HATE YOU!

Goob: Oh… kay… I’ll just run on a treadmill-

Shrimpo: NONE OF THE TREADMILLS WORK, LOSER!

Goob: Oh… well… about the previous challenge?

Shrimpo: IT WAS TERRIBLE…

Goob stares at Shrimpo, slightly disappointed

Shrimpo:…though the kiss… Ok, COME HERE.

Goob hugs Shrimpo and drags him towards himself. Shrimpo whispers some stuff into Goob’s ear.

Goob: Thanks…?

Shrimpo slaps Goob’s face as a "thank you".

Dandy (from the speakers): Attention, all contestants! Meet me at the beanbags… for a special announcement and your next challenge!

Shrimpo:…OUT YOU GO!

The final nine are now assembled at the beanbags. Dandy is standing next to the infamous barrel fire.

Dandy: Welcome, final nine! Before we start the next challenge… anyone’s brought along the team flags?

Jonathan: Hold on… I know what’s going on…

June: Wait, WHERE ARE THE FLAGS?

Dyle: Ah, looking for these?

Dyle is waving the team flags at the remaining contestants.

June: There they are!

Bassie: Can you… give them back?

Dyle: Sure! Oh wait, NO!

Dyle throws the flags into the barrel fire, to Bassie’s surprise and horror.

CONFESSIONAL:

Bassie: Hahah… haha… ha?

Bobette:…Ok, why did you-

Dandy: The teams have officially MERGED! Congratulations!

Darksion: Ok… merge… this early?!

Dandy: Uh huh! 

Spectra: Great. Every Toon for themselves, my favourite!

Rodger:…Watch your back, Darksion, cos you’re out first!

Darksion: Not when I vote you OFF FIRST!

Goob: Woah, woah… calm down guys! This is really… EXCITING!

Goob hugs both Rodger and Darksion.

CONFESSIONAL:

Rodger: Honestly, glad that Darksion wasted his Idol on me! Now, I can just pick that stupid thing off. It’s just a game but still… he BROKE a promise.

The Toons are now in the Elevator of Shame, for their next challenge.

Dandy: Welcome, Mergers… to your next challenge! Before we start…

Looey forces collars onto everyone.

Looey: Can’t have this challenge without these top-notch collars!

Darksion: Hold on… WHAT ARE THE COLLARS FOR?!

Dandy: Oh! Before we explain, help yourself to a flamethrower and bingo card!

Dyle passes every Toon a flamethrower and tablet with a bingo card.

Dandy: In this Blackout floor, you have to use your flamethrower to find numbers. If you find a number you must press its respective button on the bingo card you receive. Like in EVERY bingo, first Toon get five in a row, in ANY DIRECTION… wins!

Looey: And as for the collars! If you run out of fuel for you flamethrower, tamper with the collar… and-

Connie: HOW… DO I GET IT OFF?!

Looey: Careful, Connie!… Also since you can see in the dark, we made every single number on the card in Braille.

Connie stares at her card, unable to decipher any number.

Looey: Anyways… if you run out of fuel, tamper with the collar or press a number that you DID not see… it tranquillises you and you’re left to the Twisteds.

June:…Ok, DANDY, WHY?!

Dandy: I don’t know, you guys were pretty chill about the Pebble food challenge!

June: NO WE’RE NOT!

Bobette: ARE YOU CRAZY?!

Goob: ALL BUT SIX OF US DIED!… It felt really, really uncomfortable…

Dandy:…(gasps) I do not care!

Bobette: Ok, what happened to the "nice guy" you were in the show?

Dandy: I’m only doing this for the ratings! And higher ratings… means more tapes! NOW, DEAL WITH IT.

Bobette slaps her face.

Dandy: Anyways… oh, we’re here!

The Elevator of Shame opens in Dyle’s floor. An ominous ticking floor can be heard, while Scraps runs into the Elevator, a little bruised and stained with paint…

Scraps:…Done placing all the numbers… (sighs)

Scraps flops over in exhaustion.

Dandy:…Good luck!

Dandy pushes the contestants into the dark, with their bingo cards and flamethrowers

Dandy: And remember, feel free to commit friendly fire!

Spectra: Wait… what friendly fire?

Someone burns Spectra with their flamethrower, causing her to be set on fire and scream in pain… she hits a wall and gets killed by Twisted Dyle.

Goob:… OH MY GOD, WHAT THE [censored] IS THAT?!

Jonathan screams and hits a wall. Everyone but the arsonist panics.

CONFESSIONAL:

Rodger:…What kind of sick monster did this… oh, I BET IT’S YOU, DARKSION.

CONFESSIONAL:

Darksion: THAT ACTUALLY WASN’T ME!

Bassie and Connie walk through the center of the floor

Connie:…Ok, the numbers here are… 27, 84… and 19!

Bassie: Hold on…

Bassie checks her bingo cards and finds the number 27. She presses it… and it beeps.

?: 27…

A roulette sound can be heard all throughout Dyle’s floor… startling a few

Darksion: WHAT WAS THAT?!

Rodger: Hold on… I think I feel something slimy and disgusting. Oh, is it you Darksion?!

Darksion:… Not funny, Rodger!

?:…27… boulders.

Large boulders fly into the Dyle’s floor, squishing and damaging anything in its way. Jonathan runs from a rogue boulder, accidentally stepping on Darksion’s foot.

Darksion: MY FOOT-

Darksion gets squished by a boulder

Dandy (from the speakers): HAHA, and oh! You should spring back to normal size in no time!

The camera cuts to Dandy in the Elevator of Shame

Dandy: Which Toon will get their Bingo first? Find out, right after this commercial break!

[commercial break]

June and Bobette are searching for numbers.

Bobette: Hold on… I think this is a good spot to use our flamethrowers.

June: I’ll light this baby up.

June uses her flamethrower… revealing the numbers 45, 29 and 17

Bobette: Wait! I’ve got 29 and 17!

June:…And I’ve got 45 and 29!

Bobette and June high five and check out their respective numbers.

?: 45… 29… 29… 17… 89…

Bobette: Oh no…

?:…209…

For each number called out, the camera cuts to the Toon that found and marked it.

?:

…63 (Goob)… 63 (Jonathan)

…22 (Bassie)…

Bassie: Hold on… I think uhh… (takes Connie’s tablet and presses the 58 button for her… it happens to be the right one)

…58…

…45 (Rodger)… 40 (Darksion)

The camera cuts back to June and Bobette.

June: Oh… no…

?:…500 cigarettes.

Bobette:…Oh.

500 cigarettes start pouring out of Dyle’s room.

Goob uses his flamethrower… and finds a few numbers.

Goob: Huh… not the numbers I need. Eh, it should be somewhere around here…

Jonathan: Oh uhh… you might wanna turn off the-

?: 3…

Jonathan: No… NO NO NO-

Squished Darksion appears right behind Goob and Jonathan

Jonathan:…What?

?:…3 gallons of gasoline.

Goob: Oh no…

Goob tries to turn his flamethrower off but it’s too late… the gasoline got into Goob’s flamethrower, setting it aflame. Goob throws it away before the collar starts to beep. Darksion reverts back to his original size.

Goob: Guys… One last hug?

Darksion and Jonathan shake their heads and run away as Goob falls over and is knocked unconscious… Someone burns Darksion’s scarf.

Darksion: My… MY SCARF?! WHO DID THAT?!

Jonathan: Not… me… (backs away awkwardly)

Jonathan hits a wall and trips onto Rodger.

Jonathan: HI… ok, bye!

Rodger stares at Jonathan, a little weirded out.

Darksion trips on something… a glass bottle.

Darksion: What… was that?

Darksion picks up the bottle, which has a note on it

USE ONLY IN ELIMINATION CEREMONY.

Darksion: Hmm… ok!

Darksion picks up the glass bottle and uses his flamethrower to find numbers. He finds 46 and presses it.

?: 46…

Darksion freezes in fear.

?:…46 extra shots of coffee for Twisted Dyle.

Darksion: Oh… no…

Connie (from afar): OK, WHO SCREWED US OVER?

Darksion hears the ticking of Twisted Dyle’s clock go faster and faster… as he turns around, Twisted Dyle slaps his face and kills him in cold blood, startling Jonathan.

Jonathan:…Yeah, I’m gonna walk my fish-

?: 1…

Jonathan: Please nothing dangerous, please nothing dangerous…

?: 5… 6… 6 Twisteds!

The Elevator of Shame opens to reveal six dangerous Twisteds… right in front of June.

June: Oh no…

June screams as Twisted Pebble chases her through the darkness. She uses her flamethrower… unwittingly setting Rodger’s coat on fire.

Rodger: No… NONONONONO- GET IT OFF, GET IT OFF!

Rodger flicks his coat, hoping that the fire dies down quicker… it doesn’t. Rodger screams in pain before getting pulled away by Twisted Goob and getting combo’d by Twisted Dyle.

June looks at her flamethrower fuel…

June: Oh… no.

[commercial break]

The camera zooms into June’s flamethrower… which is starting to be empty.

June: Ok, this is bad… hopefully I can get my bingo card filled up as soon as possible.

Twisted Shelly breathes onto June, causing her to turn around. The Twisted growls at the calendar, who attacks her with the flamethrower

June: Take THIS, you VILE BEAST!

The light reveals three more numbers June needs, 28, 1 and 17.

June: YES!…

June runs out of fuel for the flamethrower.

June: Oh no…

Bobette: Wait… 28, 1 and 17! I NEED THOSE NUMBERS!

June falls onto Bobette’s arms… as Twisted Shelly retreats from her severe burns.

CONFESSIONAL:

Twisted Shelly is applying anti-burn ointment

Bobette:…June… JUNE! ARE YOU OK?!

Dandy (from the speakers): Hahaha, June is NOT a-ok! Looks like it’s down to Bobette, Jonathan, Bassie and Connie! Who will complete their first bingo?!…

Bobette marks 28, 1 and 17 on her bingo card.

?: 28… 1… 17…

Bobette: Oh no-

?: 35… 59, 37 and 48!…

Bobette: This is really, REALLY BAD!

?: 225… flaming nerf bullets!

Nerf Bullets set up in flames fire everywhere in Dyle’s floor… with a handful hitting Twisted Dyle himself. Twisted Dyle flicks the flaming bullet onto Bassie… shocking Connie

Bassie: OH MY GOD, GET IT OFF GET IT OFF (screams)

Connie tries to blow the flames off. Meanwhile, Jonathan uses Connie’s subtle glow to find more numbers…

Jonathan: 28… 28… where the HECK is 28?! I just need 28 to complete this!

Bassie: Oh, it’s right over… there!

Bassie points at Twisted Dyle’s direction.

Jonathan: Ok, thanks Bassie, I’m going there!

Jonathan runs in the direction Bassie led him to… before running straight into Twisted Dyle. He screams, before running, quickly setting up a puddle of melted marshallow that slows the Twisted down.

CONFESSIONAL:

Jonathan: Hahah… that’s not affecting the age rating… right?

Jonathan narrowly escapes Dyle and the few other Twisteds roaming around… and enters the center of the floor in that room… He uses his flamethrower to light up his surroundings… and finds the number he needs to win… 28.

Jonathan: YES! LET’S GO!

Jonathan marks 28 down in his bingo card.

?: 28…

Cut to Bobette, who is currently running away from Twisted Poppy.

Bobette: Please nothing bad… PLEASE NOTHING BAD!

?: 28 pounds of confetti and the lights are back on!

The lights in Dyle’s floor get restored and confetti starts blowing from Dyle’s room.

Dandy (from the speakers): Congratulations, Jonathan, for winning our first merge challenge! Meet me at the Elevator of Shame to return back to base camp, and don’t worry, we’ll handle your fallen fellow contestants!

Jonathan: I… WON?! NO WAY! 

CONFESSIONAL:

Jonathan: THIS IS AWESOME! I’M… I… LET’S GO!

["ELIMINATION CEREMONY"]

Dandy: Welcome, final nine… to your first ever merge Elimination Ceremony!

Darksion: So, can we get on with the voting-

Dandy: Ah, b-b-but… before we start… we’ve got a little prize for our winner Jonathan.

Yatta: A PIECE OF CANDY-

Dandy: And you can share your Immunity with a Toon of your choice.

Jonathan: Hmmm… this is hard… maybe… Rodger?

Rodger: Gosh, thank you!

Darksion slaps his face.

CONFESSIONAL:

Darksion: Well, bang goes my plans to eliminate him this episode.

Dandy: And as a little treat… our previous winner Sprout has prepared a little banquet for all of you around the… dinosaur fossil exhibit! Help yourself to all the food, but be quick… cos Elimination Ceremony actually starts in ten minutes!

June is busy taking as many snacks from the banquet as possible. Meanwhile, Goob is chatting with Sprout

Sprout: So… I heard that your season’s… chef got eliminated.

Goob: Oh, you mean Lance? Yeah… Darksion voted him out-

Sprout: It’s ok! I’m fine with spoilers! Episode 4 should be airing soon, so…

Goob: Oh… Well, Toodles crashed out over this and it got her out… I tried to do whatever I could but…

Sprout: Goob, I know you’re trying your best to console your friends, but sometimes… you have to put your needs first. That’s what I did to save myself from elimination. Glisten’s… slightly mad but he doesn’t talk about it that much.

Goob: Hahah… well-

Cosmo: Hey, Goob! I’ve made some cookies for… our future winner!

Goob: Wait, you guys are rooting for me?!

Cosmo nods. Sprout gives Goob a thumbs up

Goob: Thanks!

Goob takes the tray of cookies and shoves all the cookies into his mouth… chewing loudly.

Goob: Mmm… delicious! Anyways, I really, really need to go for the Elimination Ceremony… so, see ya!

Sprout: Bye!

Cosmo waves at Goob as he rushes back to the Elimination Ceremony.

[ELIMINATION CEREMONY]

Dandy: Got your fill?

Everyone nods.

Dandy: Awesome! Remember, Jonathan and Rodger are safe from elimination… so…

Yatta: OOOH, I’VE GOT SOME CANDY… CANDY! CANDY! AJASHASHAHAHAHH!

Yatta throws a box of chocolates each onto Jonathan and Rodger… both get pwned.

June: Ooof… are you guys ok?

Jonathan gives June a thumbs up.

Dandy: Anyways… please write down your votes on this slip of paper, and good luck!

Darksion whispers something to Connie before they start voting.

Darksion: WAIT! I got something… to use.

Darksion passes Dandy the bottle he found in Dyle’s floor. Dandy opens the bottle

Dandy: Oh… Looks like… (reveals Darksion’s advantage) Darksion gets to STEAL someone’s vote!

June: WHAT?!

Rodger: NO… WAY.

Darksion: Hmm… I think I’ll steal… Goob’s vote.

Goob: WHAT?! WHAT DID I DO?!

Darksion: Sorry, I just picked someone at random, so…

Dandy: Anyways, get voting!

The Toons can be seen scribbling down their vote.

Darksion: (reveals his vote for June) Well… better get that alliance out of my way as soon as possible… (reveals second vote for June)

Goob is seen sulking, unable to vote.

June is scribbling down her vote… followed by Jonathan and Rodger. Dandy reads the votes.

Dandy: Ohoho… all the votes are in! Dyle, tell us why some of you… might be going home!

Dyle: Darksion… pretty much nobody likes you here.

Darksion shrugs, unsurprised.

Dyle:…and June… you’re basically a nobody.

June: But what about that-

Dyle: It’s gone. Burnt in flames, reduced to ashes!

June: Uh huh… ok…

Dandy: Now, it’s time for everybody’s favourite time of the day… the votes.

Goob: Oh… no…

Dandy: First vote, Darksion… second vote… June. That’s one vote Darksion, one vote June.

June: WHAT?! Why?…

Dandy:…You did hear what Dyle said, right?

June: Oh… still, I-

Dandy: THIRD VOTE… June… fourth vote… Darksion. That’s two votes each!

The camera alternates between Darksion and June… before going back to Dandy.

Dandy: Looks like that’s a vote for June!… and Darksion! Three votes each. Remember, if you get a five-vote majority, you’re OUT! Seventh vote… June! That’s four votes, teehee!

June fidgets with her fingers in fear.

Dandy: Eighth vote… Darksion! That’s four votes each, so it all comes down to this fine vote!

Darksion’s anxious face turns into a slight smirk.

Dandy: And eighth person voted off the Million Tape Game is… June! That’s five votes, au revoir!

June: WHAT?! No… I…

Rodger: It’s ok, June… you did great.

June: Thanks… I hope to see you soon.

June waves everyone goodbye, before heading off to the Elevator of Shame.

FINAL CONFESSIONAL:

June: I… was a little disappointed about my uhh… elimination! But, hey, at least I made the merge, so that’s… something.

June enters the Elevator of Shame, and waves the camera goodbye, as it closes on her.

Dandy: To the surprise of absolutely no one, June is out of the competition!…Anyways, who will find the winning match, and who will burn up in flames? Find out, next time… on the Million Tape Game 2: Distractors VS Extractors!

Chapter Text

Dandy: Last time on the Million Tape Game, now merged, our final ten played a flaming hot and dark round of BINGO! For each number found and marked, the same number of items will spawn randomly, and they can stack! In addition, Twisted Dyle is roaming around on the floor and you can burn your own friends to death with our good ol’ flamethrowers! But run out of fuel and boop! You’re fast asleep and out of the game! In the end, Jonathan found his winning bingo and saved Rodger from elimination too! However, Darksion used his Vote Steal advantage he magically found to save himself too, giving June the boot instead. Eight Toons remain, who will burn the competition ablaze? Find out, right here… on the Million Tape Game 2: Distractors VS Extractors!

[intro]

Dandy is talking to two mysterious shadows in the Office.

Dandy: Ok… so, today’s challenge is all set!

?: Good. They won’t know that we designed the challenge.

Dandy: Speaking of design, I modified the challenge to make it a lot-

!: Dangerous?! ARE YOU CRAZY?! WE… WE-

Dandy: Uh oh, [censored name] is losing his words!

Dyle: Ok, what is up with your obsession with dangerous challenges, Dandy?!

Dandy shrugs.

Dandy:…Would you like some complimentary gumballs to quell your concerns?

The camera cuts to Goob, who is struggling to handle the cooking. Jonathan is in the kitchen to guide him a little

Jonathan: Ok, hold the frying pan very carefully…

Goob: Got it… am I doing it right-

Goob accidentally flings the pan onto Jonathan. He gets knocked over.

Goob: OH NO, ARE YOU OK?!

Jonathan: I’m… fine!

CONFESSIONAL:

Goob: Man, cooking is hard!

Meanwhile, Bassie is… doodling something on a notebook. Darksion walks over to check in on her, wearing his Evil Overlord skin.

Darksion: Hey… what are you doing?

Bassie: Oh… uhh… drawing! It’s… what I like to do when… I’m nervous.

Darksion: Can I take a look-

Bassie: No… I don’t want to.

Darksion: It’s just a drawing, it’s not like it’s top-secret plans or something-

Rodger: Hey, did anyone take my-… Darksion, I know you took my notebook.

Darksion:…NO I DIDN’T?!

Rodger and Darksion get into another argument as Bassie awkwardly steps away and enters the Other Elevator.

CONFESSIONAL:

Bassie continues doodling things on the notebook.

Meanwhile, Connie is somehow running on a treadmill… despite floating above it. Spectra enters the gym and notices Connie

Spectra: Woah, how are you using this treadmill?

Connie: OooOoooOooh… it’s uhh… I have absolutely no idea.

Spectra: Wait what?

Connie: Honestly, I have no idea how I’m running on this treadmill-

Connie fails a skillcheck and gets launched backwards onto a wall.

Connie:…I’m fine.

A dumbbell falls through Connie.

Connie:…I’m not fine!

CONFESSIONAL:

Connie: Just because solid objects can go through you, does NOT mean I feel nothing. And that feeling SUCKS!

Spectra: So uhh-

Dandy (from the speakers): Attention, all Toons! Meet me at the Elevator of Shame for your next challenge!

Spectra: Welp, time to go, Connie!

Connie, unamused, floats to the Elevator of Shame.

The final eight are in the Elevator of Shame, stretching and chatting with each other

Rodger: So, I don’t know, but I think there’s something a little off with Dandy’s face. He’s… smirking… and he’s hiding something.

Goob: And what does that mean?

Rodger: Notice how Dandy keeps throwing us into dangerous challenges? I bet there’s a dangerous twist beneath this Elevator.

Goob: Uh huh… I only understood six of the words you just said.

Rodger slaps his face.

Dandy: Also, to increase the ratings a little… all of you must wear a skin.

Jonathan: WHAT?!

June: Hold on, is that part of the challenge?

Dandy: Nothing, nothing… just a little request from our fans!

Jonathan: Oh… well, it can’t be that bad… right?

Everyone gets pushed out of the Elevator of Shame, in their skins.

Goob: Woah, those colours are mesmerising!

Jonathan: Thanks!

Goob: Oh… I was talking about that new floor we’re in!

? (from the speakers): Welcome… final eight… to the Mind Maze!

! (from the speakers): We have laced this floor with traps and questions. First person out of this maze by thirty minutes win…

? (from the speakers): And oh! You have three lives, you lose them by falling for traps or answering questions wrong. Lose them… and you’re OUT!

! (from the speakers): Good luck!

CONFESSIONAL:

Spectra: Huh, those voices sound familiar.

The Toons split up and run through the maze. Darksion encounters a fork, with the following question:

What is the longest currently-running show on Broadway?

A. Phantom of the Opera

B. Chicago

Darksion: Ok… uhh… what?!… I…

Darksion runs through A. Phantom of the Opera.

(correct answer: B. Chicago)

Meanwhile, Bassie and Goob encounter this three-way fork with this question:

Which dot is the biggest dot?

The hallways have signs of dots of various sizes, with a large dot in the middle.

Bassie: Uhh… Goob…

Goob: What?

Bassie: I… uhh… think it’s this way!

Bassie points Goob to what looks like the correct answer

Goob: Thanks, Bassie!

Goob runs through the wrong answer… while Bassie looks at her surroundings. Goob runs through the long hall… dodging traps and getting hit by a jack-in-a-box… and runs into a dead end.

Time skip. Goob runs out of the hallway, a little bruised but somehow ok.

Goob: Bassie… I don’t think it’s the right answer… Bassie?

Bassie is already gone.

Goob: God dang it, guess I’ll just find another hallway I… guess?

Goob shrugs and runs off to another section of the maze.

Meanwhile, Bassie is walking through the sewers

Bassie: I… don’t think this is the right place to be there…

Footsteps and a slight howl can be heard, spooking the basket a little.

Bassie: Hahha… haha… this is 100% fine… right?

Darksion falls into the sewer waters… far away from Bassie.

Darksion (from afar): Hello… anyone? BASSIE?!

Bassie:… Hmm… must’ve been the wind.

Bassie enters an elevator she found… with a math problem.

Find the slope of y = x sin x + 2x when x = 0.

Elevator buttons from one to ten can be seen inside the elevator.

Bassie: Come on… Math… do your thing… 

Bassie presses the number 3 button, and the elevator closes. The lights darken, frightening Bassie a little.

(correct answer: 2)

Bassie: Hahah… this is fine!

Bassie enters the third floor… which is filled with lots of traps.

Bassie:…Ok…?

Bassie carefully navigates through the traps and reaches the end of the room, with a question.

How many votes did Smores get? A. 6, B. 5

Bassie heaves a sigh and runs for A. 6

(correct answer: A. 6)

Meanwhile, Jonathan is running from Twisted Soulvester… who isn’t stopping chase.

Jonathan: WHY ARE THERE TWISTEDS IN THIS PLACE?

? (from the speakers): Blame Dandy.

! (from the speakers): Yeah, blame Dandy!

Jonathan: Of course, Dandy’s responsible for this.

Jonathan runs into a room and hides, closing the door. Twisted Soulvester bangs the door a few times before giving up and leaving. He heaves a sigh.

Connie: Boo.

Jonathan screams and panicks… before Connie pats his head trying to console him.

Connie:…You’re so easy to scare, it’s starting to bore me.

Jonathan:…

CONFESSIONAL:

Jonathan: If I had to pick between Twisted Soulvester and Connie… I’d pick Twisted Soulvester, ALL THE TIME!

Connie: So, got a little lost… Jeez, they penalised me twice for no-clipping through the walls. But I CAN’T HELP IT… cos I’m a ghost. And I love walking through walls, disappearing and flying!

Jonathan: So, mystery guy one and mystery guy two penalised you for… walking through walls?

Connie: Yeah! Just… they can whine and cry about it.

Connie floats through a wall and gets sucked into a vacuum cleaner

Connie: WHY IS IT ALWAYS THE [censored] VACUUM CLEANERS?!

? (from the speakers): Connie’s out!

Jonathan slaps his face. Goob enters Jonathan’s room, a little exhausted.

Goob:…Dude, there’s… TWISTED PEBBLE HERE!

Jonathan: No… WHY?!

Goob: I’m fine… it’s just…

Goob presses a button, causing the floor to fall. They scream as they fall into a dark pit and a hallway.

Jonathan: I don’t know… but I think the exit’s right there!

Goob: Please be the exit… PLEASE BE THE EXIT…

Meanwhile, Spectra arrives at the sewers, trying to find a way out after getting a question wrong. Darksion gets up and attempts to push her into the waters… but fails.

Spectra: What are you DOING?! GET OFF ME!

Darksion:…Nothing?

Spectra and Darksion find some stairs leading somewhere… they take the stairs back into the main part of the Maze… greeted by Twisted Toodles. Darksion uses his Active Ability, stunning Twisted Toodles as the two run off under borrowed time.

Meahwile, Goob and Jonathan walk through the dark hallway they found… and chance upon another elevator.

Goob: Is that…

Jonathan: The exit?

Goob: LET’S GO!

Jonathan: WE DID IT!

Goob and Jonathan sprint and leap into the elevator… it’s not the exit… and it has a question.

Apocalypse of the Damned.

Goob: Ok, what is that?

Jonathan: No idea…

Goob presses the button with the number nine on it. The Elevator closes.

Jonathan:…So uhh… where do you think it’s going to take us?

Goob: No idea, dude… no idea.

The Elevator opens in a warehouse-like room. Several robotic guards, led by Soulvester are guarding the exit… behind Soulvester are four buttons with numbers on them.

Soulvester: You’re not getting through this on my watch.

Goob: Oh no…

Soulvester: GUARDS, ATTACK!

Five of the guards lock in on Goob, while the rest of them, including Soulvester focus on Jonathan instead. Goob kicks off two guards while Jonathan kicks one in the groin. Soulvester hits Jonathan with his sword, causing him to be knocked onto a wall. Goob notices the buttons.

Goob: Jon! THE BUTTONS!

Jonathan: GET THE BUTTONS! I’ll distract them.

Jonathan struggles to fight off the guards, while Goob hugs a guard and throws it onto two others. Goob runs for the buttons… unsure on which button to press.

Goob: Ok, what the heck are we supposed to DO with these buttons?!

Jonathan: JUST PRESS A RANDOM BUTTON, WE DON’T HAVE TIME!

Goob: Are you sure?

Jonathan: YES

Goob:…Ok!

Goob presses the wrong button labelled 25, causing the warehouse to glow red. The robotic guards suddenly turn off.

(correct answer: 20)

! (from the speakers): Looks like Goob has used up his three lives… he is OUT!

Goob: Awww…

Soulvester: Jonathan, you may pass. Goob, follow me.

Goob: Hey… Jon?

Jonathan: Yeah?

Goob: Win this for me. I know you can do it.

Jonathan nods and runs through the exit.

[commercial break]

Rodger and Bobette are running through a dangerous hallway, being chased by Twisted Flyte

Rodger: I’d never thought I’d say this but HOW ARE THE HOLIDAY TWISTEDS HERE?!

Bobette: I have ABSOLUTELY NO IDEA, SO RUN!

Twisted Flutter flies from the other side and spots them, making chase almost instantly

Bobette: This… is bad.

Rodger throws Bobette into a room, and runs into a separate room.

Bobette: Hello, Rodger… where are you?!

Rodger: I’ll be fine! Just block the doors and they can’t come in.

Bobette nods and attempts to hold the door… but to no avail. Bobette notices a question with two forks.

What 19th century opera singer was known as the "Swedish Nightingale"?

A. Jenny Lind B. Louise Pyk

Bobette closes her eyes and runs for B. Lousie Pyk

(correct answer: A. Jenny Lind)

An incorrect buzzer plays as a hidden trapdoor opens beneath Bobette. She screams as she falls into the dark abyss, officially out of the challenge.

Meanwhile, Rodger is walking through a dark hallway, and is greeted by a room with a singular piano. Water starts seeping into the room.

? (from the speakers): I do not know WHY there’s water-

! (from the speakers): Again, blame Dandy. He’s made so-called "modifications" to it… that we didn’t approve of.

? (from the speakers): Anyways, if the water completely fills… you’re out!…No matter how many lives you have left.

! (from the speakers): Would be a shame if you lost all three of your lives in this room, won’t it?

Meanwhile, Darksion and Bassie run into each other

Bassie: Oh, hey Darksion!

Darksion: You… hey, uhh… why did you leave me in the sewers?

Bassie: No…thing? I didn’t really… hear anything. Haha… Anyways there is a little question right in front of us… and a few photos.

Photos of the Survivor 43 cast are scattered all over the floor.

Which cast member placed fourth? Submit your answer through this slot.

Bassie nervously writes on the notebook… Darksion peeps and finds something rather… horrifying.

CONFESSIONAL:

Darksion: That’s coming from the main antagonist of Dandy’s World himself… but this is [censored] up!

Bassie: HEY, STOP LOOKING AT MY NOTEBOOK!

Darksion: Ok, WHAT IS THIS?!

Bassie: I… I…

Darksion snatches the notebook and reads through it… 

Bassie: Please… PLEASE GIVE IT BACK!

Darksion: I… have no words to say about this. Sure, I’m a "manipulative psycho freak" according to this but…

Bassie: LET’S JUST GET ON WITH THE-

Darksion: I thought I can trust you, but NO! You… I…

Bassie: I think it’s… this guy? (points to Jesse Lopez)

Darksion: Oh, really? Nice try, Bassie!

Darksion cuts out a photo of Lindsay Carmine and submits it… he gets shot with a Tranquiliser

! (from the speakers): Phew… about time he’s out!

Bassie starts to smirk.

Bassie: See, I told you so… Teehee!

Bassie submits the cutout of Jesse Lopez and walks through the now revealed hallway.

Meanwhile, Rodger is trying to find some scores as the water reaches his ankles

Rodger: No… WHERE IS IT? WHERE THE HECK IS IT?!

Rodger finds a submerged note… which immediately gets ripped apart when he picks it up.

Rodger: NO… NONONONONO-

Rodger rushes to the piano and plays every single tune he can remember.

Rodger: Nope… not this… Dang it… OH NO…

Meanwhile, Spectra enters a long, dark hallway illuminated by two torches and a thin, badly-lit path.

? (from the speakers): Welcome to the tightrope… your one-way trip to victory!

! (from the speakers): Or you can just… fall through and you’re out!

Spectra: I don’t know… but you two sound awfully familiar… I… I… What is this, and why are you…

? (from the speakers):…Dandy made us design this challenge… and… I’ve got a little secret but we’re not allowed to tell you.

! (from the speakers): Remember, only one of you can win this challenge. ONLY ONE.

Bassie enters the path.

Spectra: Oh, hey Bassie-

Bassie lunges at Spectra, but she dodges.

Spectra: HEY WHAT ARE YOU DOING?!

Bassie: Just… making sure no one but me makes it through… haha?

Spectra: Wow, such a great poker face.

CONFESSIONAL:

Bassie:…I don’t have a good poker face, fine…

Meanwhile, Rodger is still guessing piano tunes while the water starts to fill up

? (from the speakers): Uh oh… looks like Rodger’s about to be out… WE SHOULD DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT!

! (from the speakers): HOW DO WE DRAIN THE WATER?! WE CAN’T LET RODGER DROWN!

The water completely fills up the room, resulting in Rodger’s elimination.

? (from the speakers): Looks like Rodger’s eliminated!

Rodger: (muffled) That’s a shame…

! (from the speakers): Hold on… I think I got it-

"Club classics" by Charli xcx start playing.

! (from the speakers): Wait… wrong button… WHERE IS IT?!

Meanwhile, Bassie and Spectra are fighting each other. Jonathan walks into them.

Jonathan:…Ok, can YOU TWO please stop fighting?

Bassie: Haha… no.

Spectra: GET OFF!

Jonathan: Ok, then you guys can keep fighting while I make it to the end!

Bassie: Well… no.

Bassie and Spectra continue beating each other up violently. Jonathan leans by a corner and whistles, as if no one is there.

Meanwhile, the two mysterious Toons are trying to find the button to save Rodger from drowning.

? (from the speakers): I think I found the right button for Rodger’s predicament… right here!

! presses the button, causing all the water to drain… Rodger is slightly unconscious.

? (from the speakers): We’d like a little… medical assistance, please?

Scraps runs into the piano room and does CPR on Rodger.

CONFESSIONAL:

Scraps: Well, good thing I’ve got a CPR certification!

Bassie pulls Spectra’s head close to her…

Bassie: You know, it’s been nice knowing you… but time to say goodbye, Spectra!

Spectra: Same here… except… it’s you who’s taking the plunge.

Jonathan: Alright, can YOU TWO SHUT IT?!

Spectra: Not until SHE GETS THROWN OFF.

Jonathan: (sighs)…You left me no choice.

Jonathan picks up both Spectra and Bassie and throws them into the pit.

Spectra: HEY!

Bassie: THAT’S NOT FAIR!

Jonathan takes a few deep breaths

Jonathan: That’s better.

Jonathan walks on the thin path… and loses his balance and falls into the darkness.

Dandy (from the speakers): Looks like everyone has fallen into the pit! NO ONE’S SAFE FROM ELIMINATION, MWAHAHAH!

Dyle (from the speakers): We’ll see all of you at the Elimination Ceremony tonight.

Back at the bedroom, everyone is arguing with each other about the Mind Maze challenge.

Darksion: OK, THERE’S SOMETHING WRONG WITH BASSIE! SHE HAS WRITTEN FLECKED UP THINGS ABOUT ALL OF US!

Bassie: What, no! Darksion and I… were in an alliance!… He’s been eating crayons, trust me!

Darksion: WHY WOULD I EAT CRAYONS?!

Bassie: I don’t know, isn’t that what all rocks do?

Darksion: NO?!

Spectra: If it’s not that bad, that MARSHMALLOW threw me and Bassie into the pit! WE COULD’VE WON.

Jonathan: Not my fault, you’re starting to IRRITATE ME WITH ALL YOUR FIGHTING.

Spectra: Please, Bassie started it first.

Jonathan: Hah, so?

Spectra: So… SHE’S TO BLAME, but no! You decided to throw both of us into the pit!

Jonathan: Because that fight was IRRITATING.

Rodger: Well, I SAY WE VOTE OUT DARKSION, COS-

Connie: WE GET IT!

Bobette: JUST… CAN WE PLEASE HAVE A CIVIL-

Everyone else gets into a heated argument. Blot emerges from the other Elevator… and quickly walks back into it as it closes

Blot: !ria hserf… wehP [Phew… fresh air!]

[ELIMINATION CEREMONY]

Dandy: Welcome, final eight… to tonight’s elimination ceremony! As usual, please write down the name of the Toon you want out… and we’ll do our… game magic! Hehehe…

The camera shows the Toons voting for each other.

Darksion: (reveals vote for Bassie) I’m sorry, but… you’re starting to be really messed up.

Rodger angrily scribbles his vote for Darksion.

Spectra: (reveals vote for Jonathan) YOU RUINED MY CHANCES OF WINNING!

Goob: (reveals vote for Darksion) Yeah… that’s for stealing my vote last round.

Connie is thinking about who to vote, before shrugging and quickly scribbling it down. She rubs her hands. Dandy takes a quick glance on the votes.

Dandy: The votes are all in, in and IN! Dyle, tell us… Dyle?

Dyle is not here.

Dandy: (sarcastic and secretive) Huh, I wonder where Dyle is… or what he’s doing…

Rodger whispers something to Goob.

Goob: What?

Rodger:…Nevermind!

Dandy: Anyways, first vote… Bassie…

Bassie: Oh no…

Dandy:…Doesn’t count.

Yatta snatches the vote for Bassie and eats it.

Yatta: Mmmm… YUM YUM HAPPY GO-TIME VOTES!

Darksion: WHAT THE?!

Bobette: There is NO WAY.

Dandy: Second vote… Darksion, doesn’t count.

Yatta: TASTY! (eats the vote)

Spectra: THERE’S GOTTA BE A VALID REASON WHY OUR VOTES ARE NOT COUNTED!

Dandy: HAHAHA… third vote… Jonathan… doesn’t count!

Yatta gobbles up the Jonathan vote and burps.

Yatta: I must have more… more… MORE!! GAHAHAHAH!

Dandy: Fourth vote… Bobette! Doesn’t count!

Bobette: OK, uhh… who voted for me?

Connie: Hahahah… uhh…

A zoomed-up clip of Yatta eating the votes can be seen as Dandy’s reads the votes.

Dandy: Fifth vote… Bassie, doesn’t count. Sixth vote, Darksion… also doesn’t count! Seventh vote… BASSIE! DOESN’T COUNT EITHER! And last vote… Darksion. Doesn’t count.

The camera zooms out. Yatta burps

Yatta: I LOVE THE TASTE OF USELESS VOTES!

Dandy: There are… two more votes that do not count… but before we begin, Dyle, bring out the game masters.

Rodger: Oh, I KNEW IT!

Dyle escorts Lance and Rubix to the Elimination Cermony. Lance sits right next to Darksion, smirking.

Dandy: That’s right! Lance and Rubix have won this challenge are are BACK IN THE GAME!

Spectra hugs Rubix tightly

Spectra: YES YES YES! I… MISSED YOU… Hey Jonathan, I… forgive you for throwing me into the pit.

Jonathan: Oh… k?

Rubix: This time, I’m not taking any chances. We’re gonna make it to the finale!

Spectra and Rubix fist bump each other.

Dandy: Uh hum… Lance and Rubix voted for the same person… Lance even prepared a little… speech for us!

Lance walks up onto the bench… the room goes dark as a spotlight shines on the dragon.

Lance: (coughs)… There’s a saying that goes, "revenge is a dish best served cold"

The camera zooms in onto Darksion, who is not that intimidated. Dandy passes Lance a vote.

Lance: And I guess… a certain someone is already feeling chills running down his spine. Heh… you know who you are.

Bassie is shown smirking, grinning like a Cheshire cat.

Lance: You made the grave mistake of angering a dragon… and as of right now, your reign of terror is over… (reveals his vote) DARKSION!

Darksion: UGH, I [censored] KNEW IT!

Rubix: You did this to yourself, Darksion.

Lance: Any last words… loser?

Darksion:…[censored] ALL OF YOU, I’M DONE WITH THIS STUPID SHOW.

Darksion flips the entire cast off and storms into the Elevator of Shame

Rubix: (chuckles and flips Darksion off) Too bad someone’s in double digits now!

FINAL CONFESSIONAL:

Darksion: I had it going pretty well… until DANDY had to screw ME OVER with this BOGUS, RIGGED CHALLENGE!

Rubix (from the speakers): Heheh… you could’ve trusted Bassie!

Darksion: Speaking of Bassie, SHE IS SO GOING TO PAY ONCE THIS SHOW’S OVER.

Lance (from the speakers): Why Bassie? Didn’t you hang out with her for half the season?

Darksion: I… I… UGH!

Darksion crosses his arms and flips the audience off, as the Elevator of Shame closes in.

Dandy: Phew… that was really, REALLY CLOSE! Could’ve sworn he could’ve killed me on live TV… Anyways, with Lance and Rubix BACK in the game… will they go far this time? Who will be lost and who will find the million? Find out, next time… on the Million Tape Game 2: Distractors VS Extractors!

Chapter Text

Dandy: Last time on the Million Tape Game, the Toons ran through a maze full of twists, turns and trivia questions! Answering wrong will guarantee a penalty that might knock you out of the park! Darksion found out that Bassie isn’t as nice as she usually is. In the end, every single Toon lost, bringing our two game masters, Rubix and Lance, back into the game! Darksion attempted to eliminate Bassie before she could do any more harm, but Lance and Rubix’s sole votes got him out of the game, finally! Nine Toons remain, who will clinch the crown? Find out, right here… on the Million Tape Game 2: Distractors VS Extractors!

[intro]

Rubix and Spectra are singing "Daisy Bell" in the bedroom. Bobette walks in on them.

Bobette: Oh, you two are singing this song again?

Rubix: Yup! It’s been a long while, so best make up for lost time!

Spectra: I’VE NEVER BEEN THIS HAPPIER!

Rubix: Yup! We’ve been hanging out ever since you know who’s got eliminated.

Spectra: I swore Darksion would’ve laster for at least one episode longer… but oh well!

Bobette: Oh, so I guess I’ll leave you two by yourselves! See ya!

CONFESSIONAL:

Bobette: Now that Darksion’s gone, I don’t have to be scared that someone’s gonna orchestrate my elimination. But he did say something about Bassie… but why?

Rodger is slightly upset about his stolen notebook. Lance flies over to him, holding a plate of scrambled eggs.

Lance: One scrambled egg coming up!… Rodger?

No response.

Lance: Darksion’s gone… you might wanna cheer up a little!-

Rodger: My notebook. He stole it… and I didn’t get it back.

Lance: WHAT?! HE STOLE YOUR NOTEBOOK?

Bassie can be seen in the background, eavesdropping into their conversation.

Rodger: I just know it, he’s… UGH, I can’t prove it right now but… let’s just say I’m on his tail.

Lance: Uh huh…

CONFESSIONAL:

Bassie: Did Darksion steal Rodger’s notebook… no?… Haha…?

Goob and Jonathan are drinking some breakfast smoothies

Goob: Honestly, it was pretty tiring when Lance and June were away… but now that Lance’s back, I don’t have to worry about cooking!

Jonathan: Hahah… was afraid I’d have to supervise you in the kitchen for the rest of the show but… yeah!

Goob: Hey, so… (mutters to self) Come on, what did Shrimpo tell you to do…? (to Jonathan) About the kiss during the mountain episode… I…

Jonathan: It’s ok… I… Look, we get through this game together and we’ll figure out the kiss thing later.

Goob: Uhh… why?

Jonathan: Look, I’m going to have to beat your ass in the finale if it was… you know.

Goob: Oh… well, not if I defeat you first!

Jonathan: But… we’ll focus on the game first and AFTER that, we’ll…

Goob: Yeah… that would work out!

CONFESSIONAL:

Jonathan: Honestly, I… uhh… It’s hard, ok?

Meanwhile, Goob and Bobette are chatting with each other at the beanbags.

Goob: And then… don’t tell anyone but-

Connie: Let me cut to the chase. They… KISSED!

Goob: CONNIE! 

Connie:…Well, someone had to say it!

Bobette: Oh, interesting…

Goob: And yeah, I think I…

Bobette: Ehh, I do have a thing or two about romance… mostly from a certain thunderbolt.

Goob: Well…

Bobette: He’s really kind and strong, and he always prepares gifts for me every Christmas…

Connie: Ooooh, interesting!

Bobette: I mean, I usually get gifts from a few friends or so, but Lightning… goes the extra mile.

Dandy (from the speakers): Attention, Toons… meet me at you guessed it, the Elevator of Shame, for your next challenge!

Connie: Welp, time to bounce!

Bobette: We’ll talk more about it after this, ok? For now, focus on the game, Goob. FOCUS on the game.

Goob: Uhh… ok!

Goob follows Connie and Bobette into the Elevator of Shame.

The Elevator of Shame opens up at the LED room from Episode 3.

Dandy: Looks familiar, doesn’t it?

Lance: Hey… that’s the challenge where I carried everyone in!

Dyle: Haha, but this time… it’s a completely different challenge-

Dandy: Out the Elevator you go!

The contestants exit the Elevator of Shame, and head to the middle. It has a remote with a red A and blue B button, and a headband with an LED light. Dandy presses a button and closes the Elevator of Shame… causing the edge to retract itself.

Dandy (from the speakers): Welcome to today’s challenge! Before we start, please put on a headband and take a remote with your name on it.

The Toons take their respective headband and remote control.

Dandy (from the speakers): Got your equipment? Awesome! Today’s challenge is a test on how well you know your fellow contestants!

Rubix: Oh, this one’s a breeze!

CONFESSIONAL:

Rubix: Being a game show host, I know how to read people well… their frustration whenever they get an answer wrong really sells out their personality!

Dyle (from the speakers): We have asked all of you some "Would You Rather" questions… and you have to guess which is the option they picked… for example.

A pre-recorded video of Scraps appears on-screen

Dandy (from video): Scraps, would you rather… A. Draw, or B. Write?

The video pauses.

Dandy (from the speakers): Once the question has been asked, you need to guess your answer by pressing one of two buttons on your remote. Guessing correctly will grant you one point, and first to ten points win!

Dyle (from the speakers): Are you ready-

Dandy (from the speakers): Hold your horses, Dyle! If the majority of you do NOT get the answer right, you will be forced into a mystery penalty… This is your only chance to eliminate your fellow contestants prior to the end of the competition! Should you fall off the platform during the penalty, you’re automatically OUT!

Dyle (from the speakers): Don’t worry, these penalties won’t be dangerous… Oh no-

Dandy (from the speakers): Trust me, these penalties will be dangerous!

Dyle (from the speakers): Ready, contestants?

The contestants nod.

Dandy (from the speakers): Your first round… begins… NOW!

[ROUND 1]

Smores appears on the screen.

Jonathan: Hi, Smores!

Dandy (from video): Smores, would you rather A. Turn invisible… or B. Fly?

The video pauses. Jonathan silently presses the B button while everyone discusses the question.

Bassie: OK, Smores is kinda creepy, so maybe he can… turn invisible and eavesdrop onto our conversations?

Goob: Yeah, but Smores is kinda slow… I guess?

Spectra: Not as slow as Rodger, haha…

Rodger: Very funny, Spectra, very funny.

Spectra: Wait… I think he’d 100% fly. That s’more really loves creeping us out!… And he really is hard to notice already.

Rubix: But if he’s invisible, he can move things around easily. Plus he always say creepy stuff, sometimes about this weird person called "Qwelver".

Goob: Ok, so?

Rubix: He’s gonna have more tea against us! You don’t know what that s’more’s capable of!

Goob: But if he can fly, he can easily enter hiding spots… plus as Spectra said, he’s hard to notice…

Rubix: I’m going A.

Goob: Well… I’m going B.

The Toons select their options, before the video starts playing again.

Smores (from video):…Croak! [Fly]

The LED lights turn green, signifying a correct majority.

Dandy (from the speakers): With a narrow 5-4 majority, you guys have selected the correct answer! Well done! Next round…

[ROUND 2]

Darksion appears on the screen.

Lance: Oh boy, not that stone again.

Dandy (from video): Darksion, would you rather A. Confiscate a bag of sugar from Simon in a confined room, or B. Insult Molly’s intelligence?

The video pauses.

Lance: Ok, who’s Molly and Simon?

Spectra: Do you live under a rock, Lance?

Lance: No?

Spectra:…(sighs)… Molly and Simon are Darksion’s friends.

Bobette: Well, Molly’s Darksion’s sister but…

Lance: Ok… I think B’s the correct option.

Spectra: Ok, why?

Lance: Personal experience. I like teasing my brother from time to time, ‘cos you know…

Spectra: I don’t think Darksion’s the type to tease his siblings… so A.

Rubix: Wait… can you tell me more about your brother-

Lance: Yeah! He’s slightly taller… he’s a strong, blue fire-breathing dragon!… I can’t breathe fire, but probably not yet… right?

Rubix: Eh…

Bassie: Ok, I think he’d pick A.

Goob:…Ok!

Jonathan: Hold on, why A?

Bassie: I… ahhh… uhh… think… I spent more time with him and he’s told me some… uhh… secrets?

CONFESSIONAL:

Bassie: I don’t even know half of what’s Darksion’s like outside the show, ok?

Jonathan: Uh huh… yeah… I’m picking B. (presses the B button)

The Toons cast in their votes, as the video plays

Darksion (from video): Oh boy… this is hard… hmm… I’ll saaaayyyyy… Confiscate a bag of sugar. I can’t insult my sister.

The lights glow red.

Dandy (from the speakers): (sarcastic) Oh no, looks like the majority of you got this question wrong! You know what this means… PENALTY TIME!

Simon drops from the ceiling… alongside a bag of sugar.

Simon: i… SmEll… SuGAR! AhahHAHHAhAHAHHAhAHH!

Simon rushes headfirst onto Rubix

Rubix: OW, WATCH IT-

Simon: WhEreS My SuGAr AHAAhAHhAHh

Simon lunges at Lance and tries to bite his wings.

Lance: LET… GO OF ME!

Lance pushes Simon away… and onto Goob

Goob: GET AWAY GET AWAY GET AWAY-

Goob flings Simon onto Spectra

Spectra: OH DEAR GOD, WHY?!

Simon jumps on Spectra repeatedly.

Spectra: RUBIX! THE SUGAR!

Rubix: What sugar?

Spectra: BEHIND YOU!

Rubix turns around and finds a bag of sugar. He picks it up, and shakes it.

Rubix: Yo, Simon? You want the sugar?

Simon: yeS, mE WaNt… sUGAr…

Rubix: Come… and GET IT!

Rubix throws the sugar into the pit. Simon leaps onto him, causing the two to plunge into the darkness

Dandy (from the speakers): Looks like Rubix is OUT of the challenge! One down, eight to go!… Next round, please?

[ROUND 3]

Toodles appears on the TV screen

Toodles (from video): Oh… uhh… hi Dandy!

Dandy (from video): Toodles! Would you rather… A. Insult Lance in front of his brother… or B. Feed Gourdy pumpkin pie?

The video pauses. Lance is slightly stunned.

Lance: Ok… why?!

Jonathan: I’m guessing B. I know Raihan a lot, he’s you know… slightly overprotective.

Spectra: Well, last time I saw him, he’s asleep on the floor… at the lobby. He seems pretty relaxed.

Jonathan: Yeah, but when it comes to his brother… he will pull all the stops to ensure that he’s safe!

Lance: He’s overreacting, but I understand why. I’m picking B.

Jonathan: Me too.

Spectra: Yeah… it’s A.

The rest of the Toons cast in their votes. The video resumes.

Toodles (from video): I’d pick… B!

The lights glow red, indicating a wrong majority vote.

Dandy (from the speakers): ANK! WRONG ANSWER… you know what that means…

Some of the LED screens make way for cannons filled with gigantic, plastic pumpkins.

Lance: Oh… no…

Lance narrowly dodges a pumpkin, causing it to hit Bobette, as she freezes in fear.

Bobette: OW!

The camera shows Bobette falling into the darkness…

…and into a "lazy river". Bobette tries to stand up on the pumpkins but fails. She accidentally opens a hatch and falls into the water

Bobette: What was that…- OW!

Bobette somehow climbs her way back into the pumpkin and peeps into the hatch… There it was, the second hidden Immunity Idol.

Bobette: Woah…

CONFESSIONAL:

Bobette: That was… convenient! (holds the Immunity Idol in her hand)

[FOURTH ROUND]

Back at the main platform, everyone lies down, exhausted from dodging the pumpkins.

Dandy (from the speakers): Awesome! Fourth round…

David appears on the screen.

Dandy (from video): David, would you rather… A. Lose your ability to clone yourself… or B. Lose your memories?

The video pauses.

Goob: Ok, this has to be A. There’s no way he’d rather lose his memories.

Lance: Agreed.

Rodger: Honestly, yeah.

Bassie: What no… I mean… yeah!

Everyone presses A. The video resumes.

David (from video): Honestly… A. I’ve got other tricks up my sleeve!

The lights turn green.

Dandy (from the speakers): By unanimous vote… EVERYONE GETS THIS QUESTION CORRECT! Next round.

[FIFTH ROUND]

Iona appears on the screen, smiling evilly and waving at the camera.

Bassie: Oh… no.

Spectra: WHY?!

Connie:…Just… NO.

Dandy (from video): Iona, would you rather… A. Eat two whole cans of gasoline… or B. Play the piano?

The video pauses.

Bassie: I… think it’s B. Cos WHY WOULD YOU EAT TWO WHOLE CANS OF GASOLINE?!

Connie: But, it’s Iona! She’s unpredictable!

Bassie: Sure, but at least she has a bit of common sense.

Connie: There’s no way it’s B. It has to be A!

Spectra: Honestly, I don’t think she’d eat two whole cans of gasoline so… B!

The Toons select their options… the video resumes.

Iona (from video):…A!

The lights glow red.

Dandy (from the speakers): Oh no… looks like most of you have gotten this question wrong… You know what this means!

A fireball suddenly lands right next to Lance, startling him.

CONFESSIONAL:

Lance stares deep into the camera, shocked and surprised

Lance:…What just happened?

Everyone is screaming for their dear lives as they get pelted by the unforgiving onslaught of fireballs. The camera quickly pans towards Dandy

Dandy: Will any of our contestants survive this ordeal of Would You Rather hell? Find out… right after this commercial break!

[commercial break]

Dandy: Welcome back! After we left off, all seven remaining Toons survived the fireballs! Now… back to the challenge!

Dyle: Wait, FIREBALLS-

[SIXTH ROUND]

Lance: Please be a season 2 contestant… PLEASE be a season 2 contestant…

Gigi appears on the screen, waving.

Dandy (from video): Gigi, would you rather… A. Give back three of your most "prized possessions", or B. Lose one limb?

The contestants inaudibly bicker among each other, before voting. (majority vote was A.) The lights turn green.

A montage of voting and penalty dodging starts. Goob stares at Bobette on the screen, while Bassie nervously fidgets with her remote. Bassie and Spectra get into a catfight while trying not to get caught in mac and cheese sauce. Bassie throws Spectra into the dark pit. Rodger crosses his fingers, hoping that he gotten the question correct. Goob flings Jonathan onto Bassie, but Bassie picks Jonathan up with one hand, and slams him hard onto the ground. Lance runs away from Twisted Goob, and accidentally runs into the real Goob.

Goob: Wait, if there’s Twisted me… and there’s me… then… My brain hurts.

Twisted Goob pulls his Toon counterpart towards him, as Bassie knocks the two off the platform with Rodger.

Rodger gets shot by an arrow, courtesy of Al. Bassie throws a missed arrow onto Rodger, knocking him out of the competition.

[FINAL ROUND]

Dandy (from the speakers): Whew, we’re down to four Toons… with nine points! Now… time for our FINAL ROUND. Whoever gets this one correct will automatically win! Here goes!

Lightning appears on the screen.

Dandy (from video): Lightning, would you rather, A. Be the team captain… of the worst NFL team or B. Be the lead role in a short-lived musical?

The video pauses

Lance:…Yeah, it’s obviously A. He’s interested in football.

Bassie: Honestly, I agree with Lance, it must be A!

Everyone unanimously votes A. The video resumes

Lightning (from video): Ok, dude, this may be a sha-shocker… but it’s B. Lightning’s not getting his reputation ruined by a bad team, sha-BAM! Plus, Lightning’s got an awesome singing voice and cool… what’s that word again? Belt?… Watch this.

Lightning sings the chorus of "Tell Me You Love Me"… in his highest register (highest note: Eb5)… before the video cuts short.

Dandy (from the speakers): Normally, the penalty would be based on the actual correct answer… However, Lightning personally challenged all of you in a game of football instead!

Lightning walks into the room, sporting his football jersey and helmet

Lightning: Who’s ready for the sha-LIGHTNING strike?!

Lance: Oh… no.

Lightning: Basically, first Toon to score a touchdown wins! If Lightning scores one… it’s game over for ALL OF YOU!

Dandy (from the speakers): Ready?

Lance: Yup-

The football falls onto the center of the platform. Lightning leaps onto it and runs for the contestants’ side.

Lightning: LIGHTNING’S GOING LONG!

Lance tries to tackle Lightning but the latter electrocutes the dragon.

CONFESSIONAL:

Lance: Ow…

Connie pulls Lightning’s legs but he somehow shakes her off

Connie: DANG IT!

Lightning: Pfft, heh.

Spectra blocks Lightning but he leaps for the end of the platform, scoring a touchdown.

Dandy (from the speakers): Looks like Lightning wins! None of you are SAFE from elimination tonight! Good luck!

Back in the bedroom, Rodger is still rummaging through every single bed, looking for his notebook. Meanwhile, Bassie is collecting random stuff and throwing them into a black bag.

Rodger: Oh, Bassie… what are you doing?

Bassie: Nothing…?

Rodger sees his notebook on Bassie’s counter.

Rodger: MY NOTEBOOK! I must’ve dropped it… thanks.

Rodger reads the notebook, and his elated face soon turned into one of dread.

Rodger: WHAT IS THIS?!

Bassie: Nothing?

Rodger: WHO GAVE YOU PERMISSION TO WRITE IN MY NOTEBOOK?! IT’S FOR CASES ONLY!

Bassie: Sorry… I mean, GIVE ME THAT!

Bassie snatches Rodger’s notebook and runs for the Other Elevator.

Some time later, Lance enters the bedroom with Rubix, Jonathan and Spectra.

Lance: Well, it’s been a rough night… time to… WHERE DID IT GO?!

Rubix: My… MY TOONY AWARDS?! THEY’RE GONE!

Jonathan:…Where did my photo of Smores go?

Lance: This… is bad… WHO STOLE THEM?!

[ELIMINATION CEREMONY]

Dandy: Welcome, unfortunate victims, to tonight’s elimination ceremony! Before we start, remember that-

Lance: Hey uhh… who stole our stuff?

Dandy: Absolutely no idea-

Bassie: I know who did it… it’s Rodger.

Bassie pushes Rodger in front of the Toons. Rodger looks confused.

Bassie: He’s taken your stuff!

Bassie takes out the black bag with everyone’s stuff and pours them all over the floor

Rubix: (gasp) TOONY AWARD-… I missed you…

Rodger: What, NO! Bassie’s stolen all your stuff, you can’t believe her.

CONFESSIONAL:

Lance: My walkie talkie is gone… something doesn’t add up!

Rodger: SHE… Oh… SHE STOLE MY NOTEBOOK-

Bassie: And this notebook? Rodger’s written some… nasty stuff about all of us!… He’s called Darksion a "manipulative psycho freak"!…

No one is surprised. Spectra imitates crow noises.

Bassie:… And he’s called Lance a "naive Toon who thinks he’s cool, popular and good at challenges"!

Lance: Ok, what?

Rodger: IT’S NOT ME!

Lance: I… I’m utterly confused, I… I just need a breather.

Rubix passes Lance a paper bag. Lance takes a few deep breaths it.

Bassie exposes what Rodger "wrote" in his notebook… followed by a montage of Toons voting. Lance looks confused, Goob looks disappointed, and Spectra is evidently angry. Bassie smirks and writes Rodger’s name, while Rodger angrily scribbles on his vote.

Lance: I’m honestly confused but… (reveals vote for Bassie) Rodger, I believe you this time… I just know something’s wrong!

Dandy reads every single vote.

Dandy: All the votes are in! Dyle, why might some of you… be headed home?

Dyle: Rodger… you stole everyone’s belongings and threw EVERYONE under the bus.

Rodger: WHAT?! IT’S… IT‘S NOT ME!

Dyle:…and Bassie. Darksion warned everyone about you… but again, no one trusts him.

Bassie: Haha… hahahah…

Dandy: Yatta, who did NOT receive a vote this ceremony?

Yatta: Hmm… HMMM… CONNIE!

Yatta throws a candy, which goes through Connie’s body. Connie places her hands on her stomach in discomfort.

Dandy: Now… this is the moment we’ve all been waiting for… First vote… Rodger.

Rodger gives Dandy a surprised and bewildered look.

Dandy: Second vote… Bassie. That’s one vote Rodger, one vote Bassie. Third vote… Rodger! That’s two votes. Remember, if you get five votes, you’re out!

Rodger looks at Dandy nervously. Bassie smirks evilly.

Dandy: Fourth vote… Rodger! Fifth vote… Rodger!… Sixth vote… Bassie! That’s four votes Rodger, two votes Bassie.

Bassie whistles confidently, and plays with the handles on her head.

Dandy: And tenth person voted off the Million Tape Game 2: Distractors VS Extractors is… Rodger. That’s five votes, you must go.

Rodger: UGH, I can’t believe you voted me off all because of a LIE!

Bassie: You did this to yourself, Rodger. Tata!

Rodger storms out of the floor. Lance nervously turns her head to Bassie.

FINAL CONFESSIONAL:

Rodger: I… I CAN’T BELIEVE IT! I had it going well… but Bassie had to screw me over! There’s… THERE’S SOMETHING WRONG WITH HER, SHE’S NOT ACTING… I… next time, I’m not going to take any chances.

Rodger enters the Elevator of Shame, disappointed. Lance throws Rodger something he made for Toodles. Rodger waves back at Lance as the Elevator of Shame closes.

Dandy: Wow, what a shocker! Bassie’s proven to be quite the player today… with our Ultimate Detective Rodger out of the case, who will finally crack it… and gain the million tapes? Find out, next time… on the Million Tape Game 2: Distractors VS Extractors!

Chapter Text

Dandy: Last time on the Million Tape Game, our final nine were challenged to a few Would You Rather questions, the majority gets it wrong… they get penalised! Despite a strong fight from Lance, Bassie, Connie and Spectra… none of them won thanks to a sudden twist from Lightning!… Bobette’s also found something pretty neat. In the end, Rodger was framed for theft and had to be booted out of the competition. Eight Toons remain, who’s intuition will get them the furthest? Find out, right here… on the Million Tape Game 2: Distractors VS Extractors!

[intro]

Dyle and Simon are in the Elevator of Shame.

Simon: So… IS tHeRe… sUGaR?!

Dyle: Haha… well… anyways, all you have to do is man the challenges and eliminations, and pretty much that’s it!

Simon: BuT… I… wANT… sUgAR… AHAHAHHAAHAH!

Dyle: Don’t worry, Simon. I’m sure you’ll get your sugar fix in no time!

Meanwhile, Bobette approaches Rubix and Spectra about the Immunity Idol

Bobette: Hey Rubix, hey Spectra!

Spectra: What?

Bobette: So… need any help with the… eliminations?

Rubix: Yeah… we’re going to be fine.

Bobette: Oh, well… I’ve got an Immunity Idol we can use!

Bobette shows Rubix and Spectra her Immunity Idol.

Rubix: Oh, wow… that’s neat!

Spectra: Long story short, we’ll let you know when we need the Idol, got it?

Bobette: Alrighty!

Bassie approaches Goob and Jonathan with a similar proposition.

Bassie: So uh… haha… wanna… form an alliance?

Jonathan is chewing on tacos, while Goob is barely awake… Bassie wakes Goob up

Goob: Oh uh…

Bassie: I got this Immunity Idol that I can use to save each other from elimination! See?

Bassie shows her "Immunity Idol", it’s fake and made of clay and missing a smile.

Goob: Yeah, that checks out!

Jonathan: About that… yeah… I’ll think about it, ok?

Bassie: Oh… yeah… hahah… thanks!

CONFESSIONAL:

Bassie: Whew, that was surprisingly hard… Now that I’ve convinced Goob, at least… to join my alliance, I can work on… getting the Idol? Yeah!

Meanwhile, Lance is cooking some more tacos for lunch. Simon barges into the kitchen, excited.

Simon: WHERE’S THE SUGAR?! AhHAHAHhAHAhHA… I… nEeD… sUGaR!

Lance: Woah, just… calm down and-

Lance accidentally burns his hand on the hot frying pan-

Lance: OW!

Simon: SoRRY… I’M sO sOrRY… anyways…

Simon ravages the fridge trying to find some sugar, causing it to fall over.

CONFESSIONAL:

Lance: Yeah… well… this is bad.

Yatta walks into the kitchen, introducing Lance.

Yatta: OH, that’s Simon, our newest intern!… and one of Darksion-

Lance: NO, do NOT mention that name EVER AGAIN.

Yatta: OK, fine fine fine…

Yatta smiles and nods. Simon nods back, grinning.

Bobette is eating some pasta Lance prepared earlier. Connie emerges from her table, scaring her a little

Bobette: GAH! Oh, hey Connie!

Connie: Yeah… this is starting to get really, really boring!… Well, not really because of the whole Rodger fiasco but-

Dandy (from the speakers): Attention, all contestants. Meet me at the Elevator of Shame for your next challenge.

Connie: Alright, time to go!

Connie slurps up all of Bobette’s pasta… leaving no morsel for her.

Bobette: OK, CONNIE WHY?!

Connie: Sorry, got a little hungry.

Bobette frowns in anger.

The contestants are now on the top of a gigantic waterpark.

Lance: Woah, this is really, REALLY COOL!

Goob: Haha!

Dandy: Welcome, final eight… to your next challenge! You need to traverse through these waterslides to reach the Gold Zone to win. Before we start, please put on these wristbands.

Every Toon takes a wristband and wears it. The number "15" appears in each wristband.

Dandy: Got your wristbands? Awesome! Every time you slide down a waterslide, the number on your wristband will go down by one. That’s how many points you have left.

Dyle: Some slides will give you an additional penalty, stated by the number on it. These slides will get you closer to the Gold Zone… or maybe directly to them!

Dandy: And oh, some sections of the waterpark will feature dice rolls that determine how many Toons can leave this section! Being forced to stay behind will still result in the normal one-point penalty, so act fast! Ready contestants?

Dyle: And remember, take as much time as you want… and NO FLYING.

Lance and Connie give Dyle unamused faces.

Dandy: Also, the first two slides you see will NOT eat into your points. These will determine where you start off, so… good luck!

The contestants excitedly run for the slides. Lance, Rubix, Bobette and Spectra go to the left side, while Bassie, Connie, Goob and Jonathan head for the right.

Dandy:…Will any of our Toons find the Gold Zone before they run out of points? Find out… right after this commercial break!

[commercial break]

Lance: Woohoohoo, this is fun!

Spectra is screaming in fear as she plunges headfirst into a lazy river. She spits out some water and relaxes on a nearby floaty.

Rubix: Whew… that was… nice?

Bobette: Guys, look!

Bobette directs the group’s attention to three slides:

BLUE SLIDE

ORANGE SLIDE WITH LOOP: 2 POINTS

PINK SLIDE

Spectra: Yeah… I’m just going to relax here-

Lance: We can relax after we reach the Gold Zone… for now, let’s HAVE. SOME. FUN!

Spectra: Can’t a SPIDER relax for a second?

Lance: We can get all the relaxation after the challenge, remember?

Spectra: FINE.

Spectra gets off the floaty and heads towards the slides.

Bobette: I’m not going to take any chances…

Rubix: Come on, Bobette… there’s no fun without a little bit of risk! I say take the orange slide!

Lance: TAKING OFF!

Lance slides through the orange slide-

Lance: OW! I’m fine- AAAAAAA

Lance’s screams echoes through the slide… Rubix and Spectra take the orange slide while Bobette takes the pink one.

Meanwhile, Bassie’s group are faced with two slides:

GREEN SLIDE: 2 POINTS

RED WATER COASTER

Goob: This roller coaster thing seems nice!

Jonathan nods in agreement.

Bassie: Wait wait wait, does this… count as a slide?

Dandy (from the speakers): Haha, yes it does!

Bassie: Oh… well… I’ll take the green slide.

Connie: Yeah… have fun in the water coaster, boys!

Bassie and Connie slide down the green slide, leaving Goob and Jonathan behind… Goob holds Jonathan’s hands as the two board the water coaster.

Goob and Jonathan are enjoying themselves on the water coaster, now on a rather… dry part of it.

Jonathan: GOOB!

Goob: Yeah?

Jonathan: Is that… the Gold Zone?!

Goob: Woah… it is!

CONFESSIONAL:

Jonathan: Well… at least we have a rough idea on where to go?

CONFESSIONAL:

Goob: I’m absent-minded!

Jonathan: Honestly, this challenge… is really, REALLY FUN!

Twisted Pebble emerges behind Jonathan

Goob: Uhh… Jon?… Behind you!

Jonathan: What… OH MY GOD-

Goob and Jonathan scream as Twisted Pebble attacks the two.

Meanwhile, Lance, Rubix and Spectra are licking some ice-cream while exploring the area they’re in.

Rubix: Mmm… this is nice!

Spectra: Who knew Shrimpo could make some tasty ice cream?-

Shrimpo appears in a separate panel, as the two go in a back-to-back heated argument.

Shrimpo: I HATE COMPLIMENTS!

Spectra: Thanks, totally needed to know that.

Shrimpo: I HATE YOU!

Spectra: Ever thought of shutting your stupid mouth up, Shrimpo?

Shrimpo: I HATE SHUTTING UP!

Spectra: Good. So I’m not-

Shrimpo: SHUT UP!

Meanwhile, Bassie and Connie are looking for the slides… they run into Bobette

Bobette: Oh, hey guys! So…

Bassie repeatedly pats Bobette’s back

Bassie: Don’t mind… me… I’m just… giving a massage, like a good friend! Hehehe…

Connie: Uh hum…

Bobette and Bassie turn around, and finds Connie in front of a three slides:

BLUE SLIDE

RED SLIDE: 3 POINTS

YELLOW SLIDE

Bassie: Yeah… I’m going down the red slide!

Bobette: Yeah… but…

Bassie: Come on, Bobette! It’s ok taking a little risk, trust me!

Bobette: You know what… fine!

Bobette runs headfirst into the red slide, while Bassie and Connie follow behind.

Bobette: Ok, this is fun! AHAHAHAH!

Lance, Rubix and Spectra face three slides:

CYAN SLIDE

YELLOW SLIDE: 4 POINTS

MAGENTA SLIDE: 3 POINTS

Rubix: Ok… so…

Lance: About that…

Spectra: I call dibs on the yellow slide!

Rubix: You know what… I’mma play it safe this time.

Lance: So… we’re going down different slides? That’s a choice!

Spectra: Whatever happens next, I know we’ll make it to the end… together.

Rubix goes down the cyan slide. Lance picks the magenta slide… and leaps into it.

He ends up in Looey’s drink bar.

Looey: Welcome, Lance… what drink would you like to get? Some milkshakes… smoothies… or dice rolls?

Lance: Woah woah waoh, hold on… dice rolls?!

Looey: Uh huh! I will determine how many Toons can leave this section-

Bassie lands on Looey.

Bassie: SORRY!

Bobette and Connie land on some chairs.

Looey: I’m… FINE… (gives a thumbs up) Anyways… here goes!

Looey places a die in a cup and shakes it… revealing a three.

Looey: Uh oh… looks like one of you’s staying behind!

The camera cuts to Lance, Bobette, Bassie and Connie enjoying their drinks, as "Espresso" by Sabrina Carpenter plays in the background… with three slides in the background:

YELLOW SLIDE

BLUE SLIDE

PINK SLIDE

Connie: So, how about we vote to see who stays behind?

Bassie: I’m gonna go down the yellow slide!

Bassie squeals as she slides down the pink slide.

Connie: Ok, so… what was I saying-

Lance goes down the pink slide.

Connie: OK, DON’T YOU DARE-

Bobette sheepishly looks at Connie, before taking the pink slide.

Connie: GOD DANG IT!

Meanwhile, Spectra ends up in a large indoor pool… spitting out some water again.

Spectra: Whew… now… where am I?

Spectra finds three slides:

BLACK SLIDE: 2 POINTS

WHITE SLIDE: 5 POINTS

GRAY SLIDE

Spectra swims into the white slide and screams. Back at the Gold Zone, Dandy and Dyle are relaxing. Scraps passes them some lemonade.

Scraps: Some fresh lemonade, on the house!

Dandy: Thanks!

Dyle: You know, maybe this challenge is… relaxing after all.

Dandy: Relaxing for us, but not for them!

Dyle: Did you… put dangerous stuff in this challenge again?

Dandy: Ohoho, yes I DID!

Dyle: (sighs) We need to talk about dangerous challenges, ok?

Spectra screams as she slides headfirst into a nearby pool.

Dandy: Spectra, well done!

Spectra: Whew… is that…

Dyle: The Gold Zone! You have won Immunity and are safe from this elimination.

Dandy (to the PA system): Attention, all Toons! Spectra have reached the Gold Zone and has won Immunity! I’ll see all of you at the Elimination Ceremony.

Goob and Jonathan are still exploring a water playground, looking for slides. Goob looks disappointed.

Goob: Awww…

Jonathan: It’s alright, Goob! We tried our best.

Dandy (from the speakers): Just kidding! You STILL have a chance to earn Immunity. This time, only up to six Toons can be safe from this competition. Six and ONLY six!… cos not one, but TWO Toons will be cut from this competition today!

Goob: WAIT WHAT?!

Jonathan: Gotta pick up the pace!

Goob: Jon, look!

Goob and Jonathan find two slides:

ORANGE SLIDE

BLUE SLIDE

Goob: So… uhh…

Jonathan: I think we’d… take the orange slide?

Goob: Yeah! Let’s go!

Goob and Jonathan giggle and slide down the orange slide. They scream in joy as they move in supersonic speeds… getting ejected straight onto a wall.

Goob: Oww…

Jonathan: That… hurt!

Dandy: Goob, Jonathan! Congrats on making it to the Gold Zone!

Goob: We… did it?

Jonathan: LET’S GO!! Hahah!

Goob and Jonathan hug each other tightly, jumping in joy.

Meanwhile, Lance, Bassie and Bobette are stuck in a game of poker with David.

David: You going all in?

Bassie: ALL IN, BABY!

David: Very, VERY sure?!

Bassie: YES!

Lance: Yeah… I’m not taking any chances- I’M FOLDING!

Lance slams his hand onto the table and leaves for a glass of apple juice.

Bobette:…I’m going all in.

David discards two cards, draws two… and smiles.

Bassie: Did we… just?

David reveals a royal flush.

David: WHEW! 

Bassie: WHAT THE?!

Bobette: No… way.

David: Now that that’s out of the way… (takes out a rigged die)… Since you guys lost a round of poker, your chances of leaving… are low. Anyways…

David rolls a three

Bassie: Is that…?

Bobette: A THREE?!

Lance: WE’RE OUT OF HERE, BABY!

David: Follow me.

David leads the trio to the three slides, which are situated right behind another bar counter:

PURPLE SLIDE: 2 POINTS

PINK SLIDE: 2 POINTS

BLUE SLIDE

David: Choose carefully! One slide might lead to your demise… the others might bring you straight for the win!

Lance: Hmm… I’ll pick the… pink slide!

Lance leaps into the pink slide and gestures Bassie and Bobette to follow him.

Bassie: I’M COMING, teehee!

Bassie pushes Bobette into the Blue Slide and leaps into the purple slide instead.

Bobette falls into a large infinity pool with a sign at the end. Bobette swims closer to the sign which reads:

Unfortunately, you have reached a dead end! Please stay here until the challenge is over… with the lake creature. Cheers!

- Dandy

Bobette: Hold on… what lake creature?

Twisted Shelly growls at Bobette, while on a dinosaur floaty

Bobette: Haha… good dinosaur? What do dinosaurs like again… dog treats?

Twisted Shelly bites Bobette on the leg, as the ornament screams.

Meanwhile, Bassie slides straight into the Gold Zone, screaming in fear.

Dandy: Bassie’s made it to the Gold Zone! With four Toons still in the running, let’s see who we have left!

Connie is frustratedly arguing with Looey about the dice rolls

Connie: I’M TELLING YOU, LET ME GO THIS INSTANT!

Looey: Sorry, you’ll have to wait until more Toons come… and since it’s starting to get late… nah.

Bobette is being chewed on and trashed around by Twisted Shelly.

Rubix is stuck on Finn’s game show… after the fishbowl rolled a zero.

Rubix: So…

Finn: Sorry man, but once the dice gets rolled, you’re stuck there! For now, let MINNOW if you need any… refreshments?

Finn offers Rubix a can of Pop.

Rubix: Yeah… I’m good!

The camera quickly pans back to Dandy

Dandy: It all comes down to Lance! Will he be able to escape this ordeal?

The camera pans to Lance, who is stuck between two slides:

ORANGE DROP-DOWN SLIDE: 4 POINTS

GREEN DROP-DOWN SLIDE

Lance: Ok… I guess I’ll… take the orange slide-

Lance gets electrocuted by his wristband

Wristband: Insufficient number of points. Insufficient number of points.

Lance: Dang it. Guess I’ll take the green one, then…

Lance, slightly dismayed, takes the green slide and closes his eyes. He crosses his fingers as he gets dropped into the slide… screaming… He ends up in a dumpster.

Lance: WHAT THE?! Is this… a dead end?

Dandy (from the speakers): Looks like Rubix, Connie, Bobette and Lance are essentially out of this challenge! That means, Goob, Jonathan, Bassie and Spectra win Immunity! I’ll see you guys at the Elimination Ceremony tonight!

The camera cuts to the Bedroom. Bassie is snooping around, looking for an Idol while holding her decoy. Bobette is busy talking to Spectra about today’s challenge, distracted by the conversation. Rubix is supporting Bobette as she tries to stand because of her ankle injury. Bassie finds the Idol in Bobette’s drawer… and silently takes it… quickly hiding below Lance’s bed as Bobette turns around.

Bobette: What was that?!

Spectra: Huh, beats me!

Bobette: Anyways… my ankle got sprained thanks to Twisted Shelly.

Rubix: Get some rest. You’ll need it for the next challenge.

Bobette: You’re right!

The camera cuts to Bassie, who is smiling below the beds, staring at the conversation.

[ELIMINATION CEREMONY]

Dandy: Welcome to tonight’s elimination ceremony! Before we start, let us introduce our newest Intern… Simon!

Simon: SuGAR… WhERe’S thE… SuGAr?! SUGAR! AHAHAAHAhHAH!

Dandy: Simon will be in-charge of your elimination ceremonies alongside Yatta.

Yatta: About time I got someone to work with… ASIDE FROM MY CIRCUS PALS, THE BESTEST IN THE WORLD A PIÑATA CAN HAVE!

Dandy: Teehee, anyways… get voting!

Simon: AnD… reMEMbER, BaSsIE, GoOB, JonATHAn, aND SpECtRA aRe SAfE-

Bassie: Guys, GUYS! I think…

Lance: Oh no, not another elimination spectacle from Bassie.

Bassie: I THINK BOBETTE HAS BEEN CHEATING!

Bassie shows Lance’s walkie-talkie.

Everyone gasps.

CONFESSIONAL:

Lance: That’s… THAT’S THE WALKIE-TALKIE I CONTACT MY BROTHER WITH!… Wh… She has to be lying!

Bobette: WHAT, NO?! I… I DIDN’T CHEAT IN THE CHALLENGES!

Bassie: I don’t know, Bobette intentionally sabotaged Lance in the Blackout challenge… and she’s found three numbers in the bingo challenge… in surprisingly quick succession!

Lance: That’s not actually proof that-

Bassie: The walkie-talkie! She has contact with someone!

? (from the walkie-talkie): Hey, are you… doing ok? We haven’t talked in a while.

Bassie: Bobette only got lucky in this challenge because I managed to take it from her… and the mystery guy can’t contact her, haha…!

Bobette: THIS IS NONSENSE! I DIDN’T CHEAT, SHE’S LYING-

Dandy: Stop screaming and GET. VOTING.

Bobette pauses, and whispers something into Goob’s ear… telling him to vote Lance off.

Lance: Ok, WE CAN’T VOTE BOBETTE!

Connie: Why? Didn’t she cheat?

Lance: She’s trying to manipulate us! Something… doesn’t add up-

Connie: Well, she’s the only other contestant that I would WANT to vote off-

Lance: THAT’S MY WALKIE-TALKIE!

Connie: WHAT?!… Wait, if Bassie says that Bobette’s been cheating and this is NOT hers but yours… then that means… you’ve been cheating?! Oh, maybe that’s why you’re so "cool, popular and good at challenges". Because SOMEONE is feeding you with lines and advice.

Lance: IT’S NOT FOR CHEATING, I NEED IT TO CONTACT MY BIG BRO-

Connie: So that he can give you insider information? Pfft, please, don’t whitewash your blatant cheating. I’m telling Bobette about this.

Lance: I’M NOT A CHEATER-

Connie whispers something to Bobette… Bobette looks way more confused than before

CONFESSIONAL:

Lance: I… I… I ONLY USE IT TO CONTACT MY BIG BRO!

The Toons take turns voting. Bassie smirks as she writes Lance’s name on her piece of paper.

Jonathan: Honestly… I… (sighs and reveals vote for Bobette) I don’t have any other good options!

Bobette: (reveals vote for Connie) Again, no other option.

Connie: (reveals vote for Lance) That cheater’s going to pay.

Lance: (reveals vote for Connie) That liar’s going to pay.

Rubix is slightly confused, while writing down his vote. Simon reads all the votes, and tries to eat them but Yatta intervenes, passing them to Dandy, who reads them too.

Dandy: Looks like all the votes are in-

Simon: THe FolLoWiNg TOonS ArE sAfE… fRoM ElIMiNaTiON-

Dandy: Simon, that’s not proper Elimination Ceremony procedures.

Simon: I DoN’T cARe!

Dandy (sighs): Fine.

Yatta:… GOOB, JONATHAN, BASSIE AND SPECTRA!

Goob, Jonathan, Bassie and Spectra catch their respective candies.

Yatta:… and Rubix!

Rubix gets hit by his piece of candy.

Dandy: Now… Dyle, tell us why some of you might be sliding back home!

Dyle: Bobette, you have been accused of cheating… and Connie, you’re annoying.

Connie: As if-

Bobette: (sighs) I’d like to use this Immunity Idol on myself.

Bobette shows Dandy her "Immunity Idol", the same decoy Bassie showed Goob and Jonathan earlier.

Dandy: Well then, all votes against Bobette are now nulified-

Simon: ThIS iDoL iS FaKE!

Dandy: What did you say again, Simon?

Simon: I sAiD, tHIs IdOL Is FAkE!

Dandy: Hold on… wait a minute? WHERE’S THE SMILE?… and come to think of it, it’s made of clay!

Bobette: WHAT, NO? B… BUT I THOUHT I FOUND THE REAL IDOL IN THE WOULD YOU RATHER QUESTION?!

Dandy: I can confirm that this is NOT a valid Immunity Idol. All votes against Bobette will STILL count!

Bobette: B… BUT I SWEAR, IT WAS REAL WHEN I FOUND IT!

Bassie: Yeah, say that to the… eliminated contestants when they find out about your cheating!

Dandy: Uh hum… first vote… Bobette. Second vote… Bobette. Remember, two Toons are headed home! Third vote… Connie!

Connie: Ok, WHY ME?!

Lance glares at Connie.

Connie: Oh.

Dandy: Fourth vote… Lance. Fifth vote… Connie! That’s two votes Bobette, two votes Connie, one vote Lance… Remember, if you have at least three votes… you are automatically out!

The camera alternates between Lance, Connie and Bobette.

Dandy: Sixth vote… Lance! That’s two votes Lance… it all comes down to these votes. Eleventh and twelfth Toons voted off the Million Tape Game 2: Distractors VS Extractors are… Bobette… and Lance! That’s three votes, it’s time for you to go.

Lance: I… I GOT ELIMINATED BECAUSE OF A LIE?! WHAT?!

Bobette: I… I…

Dyle: I’ll help you to the Elevator, Bobette.

FINAL CONFESSIONAL:

Bobette: I can’t believe I… I… I was doing… so well… until Bassie LIED! BASSIE OF ALL TOONS! I… can’t believe it… I… (sobs)

Bobette limps into the Elevator of Shame with Dyle's support, disappointed. Lance looks slightly upset as Simon throws him into the Elevator of Shame… for the second time.

Bobette: Here, your walkie-talkie.

Lance: You… didn’t vote for me, did you?

Bobette: What, no! I… didn’t.

Lance: Same…

The Elevator of Shame closes on Bobette and Lance, before quickly panning towards Dandy

Dandy: What a shocker! Lance is out for the second time this season, while Bobette had been kicked out for cheating allegations!… I can assure you that no crew member is in contact with any of the two! Anyways, who will slide into elimination next time? Find out, next time… on the Million Tape Game 2: Distractors VS Extractors!

CONFESSIONAL:

Connie: HONESTLY, glad that there’s no more cheating… though I still don’t know about the Toodles incident or the random fires from the bingo challenge… You know what, they’re probably accidents!

Chapter Text

Dandy: Last time on the Million Tape Game, our final eight had their time of their lives exploring Gardenview’s largest waterpark! The catch? They must traverse through each slide to find the Gold Zone… before they run out of points. Spectra took huge risks and high-penalty slides, giving her an easy win, while Goob and Jonathan played it relatively safe and slid together, finding the exit in time! In the end, Bassie took the final win by betraying Lance and Bobette, framing them for cheating and stealing an Immunity Idol, so watch out! Anyways, six Toons remain. Who will slide to victory, and who will drown in defeat? Find out, right here… on the Million Tape Game 2: Distractors VS Extractors!

[intro]

Simon and Scraps are setting up a challenge. Simon is rigging a panel onto each table, licking it aggressively.

Scraps: Ok, Simon… please TAKE yourself seriously.

Simon: Ok… tAkE… mYsElF… sERiOuSly!

Scraps: Good, we can’t make any flaws in this challenge, got it?

Simon: gOT… iT-

One of the Mountain Dew containers falls onto the center table, creating a chain reaction that destroys the entire challenge.

Simon:… ThIS iS bAd!

Dandy checks in on Scraps and Simon

Dandy: So, how has setting up this challenge… Ok, what the flip?

Scraps: I’m sorry, Dandy, I…

Dandy: It’s alright, I… shouldn’t have bought low quality items for this challenge.

Scraps: Still saving up on budget in the big season 2? Wow.

Dandy: I… I HAVE CRAZY CHALLENGE IDEAS FOR SEASON 3, OF COURSE I NEED TO SAVE UP… just… (sighs) Time to pull out a backup challenge, then. Scraps and Simon, help out with this backup challenge.

Dandy throws a challenge document onto Scraps.

Scraps: So, we read through every single thing and-

Dandy: Yeah! Be sure to take out as much supplies as needed, because… Just read the document, it has all the information you need.

Scraps: Alright, thank you… Dandicius-

Dandy: IT’S DANDY.

Simon: sAmE ThINg.

Dandy slaps his face.

CONFESSIONAL:

Simon: NeXT tIMe, I’m NoT sETtInG uP tHe CHaLlENgEs.

Goob and Jonathan are throwing a dodgeball at each other, out of sheer boredom.

Goob: It’s been two days… when’s the next challenge?

Jonathan: Honestly… no idea.

Goob:…I’m starting to miss these challenges… including the deadly ones! It’s speaking something!

Jonathan: NO, I STILL DO NOT MISS THE DEADLY CHALLENGES… especially the one with Pebble’s dog food in it!

Pebble walks up to Goob and Jonathan… and barks once… and leaves.

Scraps (from the speakers): Attention Toons, meet me at the beanbags for your next challenge!

Goob: Hold on… why is Scraps announcing the next challenge?

Jonathan: Beats me!

Goob and Jonathan walk to the beanbags.

The final six are assembled at the beanbags for their next challenge.

Scraps: Welcome, final six… to your next challenge.

Simon: We PlAnNeD a ChAlLeNgE fOr YoU tODaY… bUt-

Scraps: It took pretty long to assemble and everything fell apart today… so we’ve got a little backup challenge for you! I’ve designed three cute tokens for all of you!

Scraps passes each contestant three tokens.

CONFESSIONAL:

Bassie: These tokens… are cute!

Scraps: What are these tokens for? They’re to keep you inside the challenge.

Rubix: And what’s the challenge?

Scraps: The challenge… is a game of Triple Dog Dare.

Simon: yOU’lL hAvE tO DaRe eACh oTHeR tO dO CrAzY StUFf!

Scraps: If the Toon rejects or fails the dare, you get to take one token. Should they complete the dare, they get one token. These tokens can also be freely distributed outside dares… WITH CONSENT. So NO STEALING TOKENS.

Simon: goOd LuCk!

Scraps:…I haven’t finished explaining the rules.

Spectra: I’m starting to get really bored, so make it snappy.

Scraps: You have access to every single floor in Gardenview for this challenge. However, you’re not allowed to call back previous contestants for your dares. So, no getting Iona to do open heart surgery on you!

Bassie: Awww… but I want Iona to do open heart surgery on all of you!

Spectra:…Ok, what the [censored]?

Scraps: Anyways, if you run out of tokens, you’re out. I will be in by 24 hours… so good luck!

Simon: LoOeY wIlL mAn ThE eLeVaTOr If YOu NeED aNYtHInG!

Simon throws a walkie-talkie at Spectra

Spectra: OW!

Scraps and Simon enter the Elevator of Shame and leave… while the contestants are left to themselves.

CONFESSIONAL:

Bassie: Honestly, glad that Lance is… somehow gone! He could’ve dominated this challenge…

Connie: Hey, Bassie. I dare you to drink from the kitchen sink.

Bassie: Hahah… what?

Connie: Drink from the kitchen sink.

Bassie: EW EW EW, WHY?!

Connie: Do you want… (flaunts her token) This shiny token?!

Bassie: Hmm…

CONFESSIONAL:

Connie: Oh, snap! Bassie’s about to go crazy!

CONFESSIONAL:

Bassie: I can… do anything… hahaha… ha!

The kitchen is dark. Bassie sneaks into the kitchen with a straw… she watches her surroundings… and dips the straw into the sink.

Bassie: Here goes nothing…

Bassie slurps up the mysterious, disgusting liquid from the kitchen sink… and gulps, closing her eyes.

CONFESSIONAL:

Bassie barfs all over the confessional

Bassie runs back to the beanbags, mouth covered with puke

Bassie: I… did it!

Scraps (from the speakers): I can verify that Bassie HAS done Connie’s dare. Better pay up, Connie!

Connie: UGH, fine.

Bassie jumps in joy as Connie reluctantly passes her token to Bassie.

Bassie: Geheheh… Goob!

Goob: Yeah?

Bassie: I dare you… to survive one round of the Focus challenge earlier this season.

Goob: Dare accepted.

Bassie and Goob nods, as Bassie contacts Looey with the walkie-talkie. Looey appears in another panel.

Looey: Looey here! What seems to be the… oh, a dare takes place in another floor? Coming!

Looey’s panel pans away… as the Elevator of Shame opens.

Looey: So, which floor would you like to travel to, thou most prestiged contestants?

Goob: I’d like to go to that challenge with the Focus and dots in them!

Looey: Very well!

Goob enters the Elevator of Shame and goes down to the LED room.

CONFESSIONAL:

Goob: I know I’ll be fine!… Even though Lance isn’t here… maybe I shouldn’t have… voted him off?

The six dots appear in front of them. A dot on the top turns green, with the words "F O C U S" right in front of them. 

Goob: Come on… focus… It’s not that hard.

Strobing lights start flooding the LED room as "Isolation" by Nighthawk22 starts playing in the background. The dots, now all white, pulse and rotate all over the room, joined by not white dots. Goob twirls around, trying to find the original green dot…

Goob: Oh no… I think I lost the dot? WHERE IS IT?! (screams)

The dots turn into Dandy’s colours… Goob dizzily walks to the bottom left corner and falls over… as it glows green. Looey emerges from the Elevator of Shame

Looey: Congratulations, Goob! You have successfully completed your dare!

Time skip. Goob emerges from the Elevator of Shame and proudly puts his hands on his hips.

Goob: The token, Bassie?

Bassie: Fine…

Bassie hands Goob a token… as Spectra can be heard failing a treadmill skillcheck from afar.

Connie: And that’s my dare!

Rubix: Alright… Jonathan. I dare you… to eat a spoon of powdered cinnamon.

Jonathan: Ohoho, don’t you dare-

Rubix: I TRIPLE. DOG. DARE YOU.

Jonathan:…No, there is NO way I’m doing it.

Time skip. Jonathan is in the bedroom, holding a spoonful of cinnamon. Everyone is cheering his name as he closes his eyes and swallows the cinnamon.

Rubix: Did he… do it?

Jonathan gives Rubix a sarcastic thumb up… before gagging on cinnamon and coughing it out

Jonathan: It… COUNTS! (coughs)

Rubix passes Jonathan a token, while Spectra giggles a little.

Jonathan: I… NEED… WATER!

Spectra: Say, Goob… I heard you have been quite the chef lately!

Goob: I… am? I AM A CHEF!

Spectra: So… can you fix Jonathan a chocolate milkshake? I think he needs one… I dare you.

Goob stands up and salutes Spectra, as he rushes into the kitchen.

Goob: Ok… how do I make a chocolate milkshake… Hmm…

Goob pours chocolate and water into the blender and turns it on… Chocolate bits fly everywhere as Goob ducks, trying not to get hit by the rogue pieces of sugary goodness.

CONFESSIONAL:

Goob: Blenders are now really scary…

Goob walks out of the kitchen holding his "chocolate milkshake"

Goob: Here, drink this!

Jonathan takes the chocolate milkshake quickly and gasps for air… and hugs Goob.

Jonathan: THANK YOU THANK YOU, THANK YOU!

Goob: You’re… welcome?

Spectra: Great job, Goob! There’s just one problem… that’s chocolate bits with water, not a chocolate milkshake.

Goob: What?

Spectra: Where’s my token, empty-head?

Goob: Fine.

Goob passes Spectra a token.

Connie: Hey, girl!…

Spectra: Yes, girl?

Connie: Like, let’s see who can say the word "girl" the longest?

Spectra: Yes, girl? Ready girl?

Connie and Spectra:… GIRLLLLLLLLLLLL

Connie and Spectra face each other as the camera zooms into Bassie… who cups her ears and walks away.

[commercial break]

Connie: OK, WHAT IN TARNATION IS THIS?

Connie is floating above a large pit… full of Twisteds.

Bassie: Are you gonna bungee jump in there… or are you… CHICKEN?! Bak bak bak?!

Connie: I… I… FINE.

Connie ties the bungee rope on herself, takes a deep breath and screams as she jumps into the pit of Twisteds.

Connie: Huh, it’s not that ba- OW!

Twisted Sprout’s tendril cuts Connie in the eye, as she gets launched back to safety with the bungee rope… Just kidding! Connie gets thrown straight up into the ceiling and falls onto the ground.

Connie:…GIMME THE TOKEN, BASSIE.

Bassie chuckles, as she drops a token onto Connie on purpose. The token goes through Connie’s ghastly body.

Connie: OW!… That hurts…

Spectra: Connie, are you ok?

Connie: NO, I’M NOT!

Bassie giggles a little… before Spectra

Spectra: Hey, nothing burger. I dare you to hug…

Bassie: That isn’t that… bad…

Spectra:…Twisted Goob!

Bassie: Oh… no.

Bassie is now at the middle of the Projector Room. Twisted Goob is stuck in a pen, as Bassie closes her eyes on a few steps. Bassie inches her head closer to Twisted Goob, as the real Goob closes his eyes… and peeps through his fingers. Bassie hugs Twisted Goob, and takes a few deep breaths.

Jonathan: That… felt wrong.

Goob hugs Jonathan… and kisses him.

Jonathan: Oh… I see where this is going!

Goob: You guessed it-

Twisted Goob pulls Bassie in for a "hug" and attacks her, frightening the gay couple Goob and Jonathan.

CONFESSIONAL:

Rubix: I’m going to give a dare that’s so bad… I might get cancelled for this… so… please don’t kill me or Vee… once this is over, pinky promise?

Rubix: Ok… Connie! I dare you to… eat a Tide Pod.

Connie: WHAT, WHY?!

Rubix: It’s a triple dog dare, take it or give a token? What’s your choice?… and oh, stuff lots of dog food and staplers onto it!

Connie: I hate this.

Rubix prepares Connie some dog food, with staplers and to top it off… a medium-sized Tide Pod. Connie gulps as she shoves the dog food into her mouth… the dog food flops through her ghastly body.

Rubix: Well… uhh… that doesn’t count!

Connie: What? I’m literally a ghost, I don’t need to eat… and it’s hard to eat most mortal foods.

Rubix: Honestly… fair point. Now, PAY UP!

Connie throws a token onto Rubix.

CONFESSIONAL:

Rubix: MY EYES… they hurt…

Bassie: Now, Spectra?

Spectra: Oh, so you’re going to make me eat this piece of crap? NO.

Bassie: Not that… Spectra, I dare YOU to eat Goob’s fur… slowly!

Spectra: Ew… WHY?!

Bassie: Take the dare, Spectra… you don’t have any other choice…

Spectra: UGH, FINE.

Goob scratches his head and picks out a small wad of his fur.

CONFESSIONAL:

Goob: I shed a lot, but… who cares!

Spectra takes a deep breath and holds the wad of Goob’s fur. She closes her eyes… and chews it.

Spectra: Ok, it’s not that bad… (gulps)

Spectra coughs excessively, choking on Goob’s fur. Spectra spits the fur out of her mouth and onto Jonathan. Jonathan screams in disgust and horror, as Spectra takes repeated deep breaths.

Spectra: FINE… here’s my last token.

Spectra passes Bassie her last token.

Scraps (from the speakers): Spectra is OUT of the challenge! Five Toons remain.

A montage of dares starts playing. Connie has to kiss a dirty sock puppet Goob made together with Scraps… and brushes her teeth repeatedly afterwards.

Bassie stays in isolation… inside a burning house for ten minutes. She impatiently watches her stopwatch, tapping her feet and fidgeting with the flowers in her head as Connie smirks. Bassie runs out before the ten minutes are over, hyperventilating.

Goob attempts to feed Twisted Toodles some salsa… but she bites his hand, causing him to shake the Twisted off his hand and failing the dare. Connie giggles at her six tokens, while Goob enviously looks at her, holding one single token.

Bassie: Hey, Goob. I dare you to bingewatch the entirety of One Piece… at 50x Speed.

Goob: That shouldn’t be hard! I accept.

Goob is already dizzy watching One Piece at extremely fast speeds. He rubs his eyes, trying to comprehend just a single scene. Meanwhile, Bassie impatiently waits at the Other Elevator, smirking. Goob emerges from the Other Elevator, taking a huge breath.

Goob: I… CAN’T

Bassie: Token, please?

Goob reluctantly passes Bassie his final token, and flops over.

Simon: gOoB iS OuT!

Bassie: HAH, now… who’s next?… Oh, Rubix!

Rubix: Yeah?

Bassie: I dare you to beat me in the Balancing Act challenge!

Rubix: Oh, no… don’t you dare.

Bassie: I TRIPLE DOG DARE YOU.

Rubix slaps his face.

Bassie and Rubix face each other on the gigantic see-saw.

Looey (from the speakers): Ready, contestants?

Bassie and Rubix nod. The see-saw starts oscillating as Rubix gets hit by a falling anvil. Bassie uses the opportunity to pick his leg up and throw him off the platform effortlessly.

Looey (from the speakers): That was… somehow anticlimatic… anyways Bassie WINS the dare! Pay up, Rubix!

Rubix emerges from the waters below, slightly upset. 

The camera pans to Scraps and Simon, relaxing at the waterpark.

Scraps: With Goob and Spectra out of the way, who will prove themselves the… "master of dares"?… Do I have to say that?

Dandy (from walkie-talkie): YES.

Scraps: Fine. Who will prove themselves the master of dares, and who will lose their tokens quicker than the eye can see? Find out, right after this commercial break!

[commercial break]

Bassie is now at the Mind Maze, attempting to traverse the ridiculously thin path that no one managed to cross.

Bassie: Are you sure this is safe?

Connie: Trust me! I wouldn’t give you impossible dares, would I?

Bassie: (sighs)… Fair point.

CONFESSIONAL:

Connie: GAHAHAHAHAH, this dare is supposed to be impossible!

Bassie takes one slow step onto the path. She closes her eyes as her foot steps onto the treacherous tightrope-thin ground… and opens her eyes.

Bassie: Huh, this must be pretty easy!

Bassie carefully traverses the thin path, ensuring that she keeps her balance… and falls halfway

Bassie: NOOOOOOoooo!

Connie: Teehee, one token, please?

Another montage of dangerous dares starts. Rubix is mounted onto a comically large cannon in the bamboo forest, attempting to score 500 points in under ten minutes… a few shots of Rubix getting launched by Connie are seen… followed by Rubix flopping over, narrowly completing the dare with 501 points. Bassie runs away from arrows while Rubix is playing Operation blindly… he somehow manages to complete the game perfectly with no electric shock… stunning Jonathan.

Jonathan: There’s no way-

Rubix: Token?

Jonathan: Fine. (passes Rubix a token)… also… (whispers something into Rubix’s ears)

Rubix and Jonathan cackle maniacally.

Connie forces herself to pet a vacuum cleaner… that goes out of control and sucks her in, failing the dare. Bassie jumps into a ice bath…

Bassie: This is nice…

A pound of salt falls onto Bassie, causing her to scream in pain but complete the dare anyway. Rubix gets flung off Twisted Pebble while trying to ride him while Connie gets beaten up by Twisted Gourdy at the Holloway Graveyard.

A few exchanges of tokens can be seen here and there, followed by a shot of Rubix attempting to escape a dare from Connie

Connie: Come on… it’s just punching someone in the face… it can’t be that bad!

Rubix: No… I… I CAN’T

Connie: You can pick any Toon to do it-

Jonathan: I’ll volunteer.

Connie: WHAT, but… but?

Jonathan: You said, he can blow a punch onto any Toon’s face? Well, I’m gonna BE that Toon.

Connie: WAIT… nononon-

Rubix reluctantly punches Jonathan in the face, and snags a token from Connie.

Bassie attempts to swim away from Twisted Shelly in a dinosaur floatie in a lazy river… and fails. Connie narrowly completes Dyle’s floor… bruised from the common Twisteds. More tokens are exchanged between the Toons while Rubix is stuck on a skateboard, to do a rather fiery and dangerous stunt.

Looey: Ready, Rubix?

Rubix: Hold on… is this safe?

Looey: Trust me! Yatta’s done this stunt many, MANY times!

Rubix: Wait… please don’t-

Looey pushes Rubix on the skateboard… as he goes off the ramp and onto an empty bleacher.

Looey: RUBIX! Are you… ok?

Rubix: I’m fine…

Bassie:…Huh, looks like Rubix is out!

The camera pans to Looey, who is doing the annoucements for the standings for the challenge.

Looey: We’re down to Jonathan, Bassie and Connie… and looks like Bassie and Connie are in a humongous lead!

Bassie: YES!

Connie: Oh, Jonathan… you’re going do-own!

Jonathan: Oh yeah, pfft… I’d like to see you try.

Bassie: Heh, Jonathan… I dare you… to complete the most gruesome obstacle course known to Toon-kind!

Looey: Oh! Will Jonathan take the dare?

Jonathan:…I will! Let’s do this!

Jonathan starts off at the hardest neo-jump obby only 1% of Toons can complete.

Looey: Ready, Jonathan?

Jonathan: MORE than ready.

Looey: LET’S GO!

Jonathan sprints through the obby, clearing some basic jumps… and almost failing the neo-jump.

Connie: Eh… he’s cooked.

Jonathan manages to pick himself up and continue on with the obby.

Connie: WHAT?! No… there’s gotta be no, NO way…

Jonathan completes the neo-jump obby… but this time…

Jonathan: HOLD ON, did I complete it?

Connie: HAH, you need to complete the second half… above this pool of Main Character Twisteds.

Twisted Shelly waves at Jonathan from below…

Jonathan: This is… fine!

Jonathan slowly makes his way through the obby… accidentally stepping on a line of lava and losing his balance.

Jonathan: OW OW OW- IT’S HOT… I’ve survived? YES!

Jonathan rushes through the simple jumps and swinging axes and makes a full sprint for the end. Suddenly, Bassie trips Jonathan and picks himself up on the thighs.

Jonathan: HOLD ON, what are you doing?

Bassie: No…thing?… HAH, this is for THROWING ME OFF IN THE MIND MAZE CHALLENGE! Sayonara, Jonathan!

Jonathan: NO… DON’T YOU DARE-

Bassie takes out the flamethrower from the Bingo challenge?

Bassie: Don’t you see… I was the one that burnt everyone during the Bingo challenge… and punctured the tires in the mountain challenge?

Jonathan: WAIT, IT WAS YOU THE ENTIRE TIME?!

Bassie: Yes!… and no one else has a clue about it… Just the two of us.

Jonathan: THEN…

Jonathan punches Bassie in the face and tries to make his way to the exit. Bassie throws a stick at Jonathan, causing him to fall over. She then uses the flamethrower to burn him and throw him into the pit of Twisteds… causing him to get absolutely mauled. Bassie smiles as Jonathan screams in pain, unable to be saved.

CONFESSIONAL:

Jonathan: OW… that seriously hurt… and… (falls over)

Scraps rushes into the obby, concerned.

Scraps: OH MY GOD, WHAT JUST HAPPENED?!

Bassie: (insincere) Uhh… uh… Jonathan tripped and fell into the pit of Twisteds and needs saving! HELP HIM, PLEASE!

Scraps: I’m on it!

Scraps lowers her tail onto somewhere Jonathan can reach.

Scraps: GRAB MY TAIL!

No response from Jonathan. Sighing, Scraps jumps into the water and brings Jonathan to safety… she checks in on the marshmallow… but he’s slightly dizzy.

Scraps (to walkie-talkie): Dandy, DANDY!

Dandy appears in a separate panel, fixing the next challenge. Annoyed, Dandy picks up his walkie-talkie.

Dandy (to walkie-talkie): WHAT?!

Scraps (to walkie-talkie): I think… we might have to evacuate Jonathan from this show.

Dandy (to walkie-talkie): He should be fine! It’s not like you’ve given very dangerous dares, right?

Scraps (to walkie-talkie): HE’S LITERALLY MAULED BY ALL MAIN CHARACTER TWISTEDS AT ONCE!… Plus… he appears to be burnt and impaled… somehow?

Scraps’s panel pans away as Dandy shows a face of concern (for once)

Dandy: DYLE!

Dyle: Yeah?

Dandy: I’ve got an emergency to attend to, be right back!

Dandy rushes for the Elevator of Shame, as Dyle… runs after Dandy

Dyle: WAIT FOR ME!

[ELIMINATION CEREMONY]

The final six are assembled at Shelly’s floor for an elimination ceremony. Jonathan is placed on a wheelchair with a full-body cast… covering his mouth. Jonathan also has a conical collar around his neck.

Dandy: Welcome, Final 6… to tonight’s elimination ceremony? Will there be a vote? NO!

Dyle: (sighs) One of you is too injured to continue in this competition… and will be evacuated from here

Jonathan: (muffled) YEAH, [censored] YOU BASSIE!

Bassie: What? I can’t hear you… hahah…

Spectra: Honestly…

Goob: JON! I… I’m sorry… I…

Jonathan: (muffled) It’s fine, Goob. Win this for me, I believe in you.

Goob: Whatever you say, Jon! Also…

Jonathan: (muffled) Once we’re done… we’ll go on a date, promise.

Goob: Uh huh!

FINAL CONFESSIONAL:

Jonathan: (muffled) I… can’t do this… AFTER WHAT BASSIE HAS DONE… I… I didn’t expect to go out like this… but I still believe in you, Goob! CRUSH HER. MAKE SURE SHE DOESN’T LEAVE THE GAME WITH HER TOES INTACT!

Goob helps Jonathan to the Elevator of Shame… the two hug for the final time.

Goob: I’ll miss you… (sheds tear)

The Elevator of Shame closes on Jonathan as Goob wipes tears from his eyes.

Dandy: Wow, what a way to go out from our marshmallow Jonathan! Anyways, who will finally stop Bassie from her villainy streak? Heck, will Bassie actually win this season? Find out, next time… on the Million Tape Game 2: Distractors VS Extractors!

Chapter Text

Dandy: Last time on the Million Tape Game, due to a malfunction in today’s challenge, our Interns Scraps and Simon kept our final six busy… Uhh, wanna help narrate this, Scraps?

Scraps: Alright! Dares flew everywhere as the Toons tried to keep their tokens. Some even formed alliances with each other… mostly to pick out some huge threats in the challenge. In the end, a surprise blindside from Bassie, BASSIE of all Toons, landed Jonathan in the hospital and out of the game!

Dandy: Only five Toons remain, who will take the crown? Who will chicken out? Find out, right here… on the Million Tape Game 2: Distractors VS Extractors!

[intro]

Connie floats around the Projector Room at night… out of sheer boredom.

Connie: Hmm… I wonder what secrets Dandy is hiding…

Connie floats into the Office, trying to peep into Dandy’s secrets… by haunting the computer.

Connie: Hack into the computers for this show? Definitely!

The footage of Bassie burning Jonathan and throwing him into the pit of Twisteds accidentally plays at full volume, alarming Connie as she desperately turns it off.

CONFESSIONAL:

Connie: Wait wait wait, Bassie was… responsible for Jonathan’s injury?… Talk about a plot twist!

It’s the next morning. Everyone wakes up, still slightly tired from the previous challenge.

Spectra: Gosh, that dare challenge took a huge toll on us…

Rubix: Yeah, I… think I need a well-deserved break from challenges-

An explosion can be heard from the kitchen. 

Spectra: Goob, if you cause another explosion, I’m rigging your room with dynamite.

Goob (from afar): WHAT?! I can’t hear you!

Spectra: (sarcastic) Oh wow, the explosion really made you deaf! My bad!

No response. Connie floats through the floor

Connie: Boo.

Spectra: Hey, girl!

Connie: Hey, girl!… Guess what!

Rubix: Hold on, guess… what?

Bassie turns her head to the group

Connie: You know who caused Jonathan to be seriously hurt? It was Bassie… all along!

Spectra: WAIT WHAT?!

Rubix: No… IT CAN’T BE!

Connie: Come to think of it… did she frame Bobette for cheating… and… OH NO.

CONFESSIONAL:

Connie: OH MY GOD, I CAN’T BELIEVE I’M SO STUPID!… UGH!

CONFESSIONAL:

Bassie: Hahah… now that my cover’s… blown, no more nice Bassie! Hahah…

Meanwhile, Scraps and Blot are adding the final touches to the challenge. Blot receives a call from someone

Blot: ?egnellahc eht nam …ot tnaw uoy, hO [Oh, you want to… man the challenge?]

The caller speaks in gibberish… as Blot gives an unamused face. Scraps snatches the phone.

Scraps: What Blot meant is… oh… Wait, you want to man the challenge?… Got it!

Scraps hangs up the phone, and calls Dandy through the walkie-talkie. Dandy appears on a separate panel.

Scraps: Dandy? Someone wants to man today’s challenge… a previous contestant!

Dandy: Previous… contestant? Awesome! This will really shake things up. Tell him to meet me at the Elevators.

Scraps: Got it.

Scraps’s panel pans away, as Dandy speaks to the PA system.

Dandy (to the PA system): Attention, all Toons. Meet me at the Elevator of Shame… in ten minutes… for your next challenge!

Simon barges into Dandy’s room… looking for sugar.

Dandy: For the last time, Simon… I do NOT keep sugar in my room.

Simon: B… BuT… i CaN’T FiNd aNy MoRe SUgAR!

Yatta: PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE GIVE SIMON HIS SUGAR FIX, PLEASE?!

Dandy:…Fine. Dyle?

Dyle walks into the room

Dyle: Did you call me?

Dandy: We need more sugar, pronto.

Dyle: On it, Dandicius.

Dandy:…IT’S DANDY FOR GOD’S SAKE!

Dandy walks out of his room to meet the mystery guy.

The final five emerge from the Elevator of Shame… and in the middle of a courtroom-like setting. Empty beakers, like the ones that pour water onto you in waterparks, can be seen above chairs and tables. Each table has a tablet embedded into it, with a hole in the middle. Dandy emerges from the hole.

Dandy: BOO! Hahah, did I scare you?

Spectra:… (sarcastic) GAH, I’m so scared!

Rubix: What… is this?

Dandy: Welcome, to your third last challenge… the Beauty Contest!

Spectra: Hold on, why is this called… a "Beauty Contest"? 

Rubix: Basically, it has something to do with the Keynesian Beauty Contest, where judges are rewarded for selecting the most popular choice.

Spectra: What… I… still don’t get it?

Rubix sighs.

Dandy: The rules are simple. You all have to guess a number from 0 to 100. The average of all the guesses will be taken into account, and multiplied by 80%. This is the final result. The guess closest to the final result will win. Also, NO communication of any means is allowed.

Goob: And… what happens if we… lose?

Dandy: Oh, you earn one point!

Connie: So, if we lose… we earn points?

Dandy: Yup… though you won’t want to earn points! If YOU reach ten points, you’re out! Also…

Glisten struts into the room

Glisten: Yas, contestants, it’s me… hold the applause, I know!… Wait a minute, where’s the beauty contest?

Dandy: Hahah, this IS the beauty contest!

Glisten: Where’s the models, where’s the fancy clothes, THIS… THIS ISN’T A BEAUTY CONTEST, I’VE BEEN SCAMMED!

Dandy:…Glisten will serve as the extra sixth player… so if he wins, NO ONE IS SAFE, so are you ready, Toons?

Glisten: Hold on… what are the rules?

Dandy:…Will Glisten ever understand the rules of the Beauty Contest? Who will prove to be a whiz at numbers? Find out… right after this commercial break!

Glisten: Wait… NONONONONONO-

[commercial break]

[ROUND 1]

The six Toons are seated, eyes laser-focused on a computer screen in front of them… and a tablet.

Dandy: Remember, if you earn ten points… you’re out!

Goob: Ok… what number to pick, what number to pick…?

Every Toon presses random numbers, some of them looking a bit stressed:

Rubix: 2

Goob: 89

Bassie: 69

Spectra: 76

Connie: 15

Glisten: 90

Dandy: All guesses are in! Also, every guess will be revealed once each round is over… so… here goes!

Average: 56.8

Final Result: 45.5

Winner: Bassie

Bassie: YES, YES YES YES!

Dandy: Bassie wins the first round and is off to a good start! The rest of you, you better keep up!

CONFESSIONAL:

Glisten: Ok, time to bring up my A-game… what, do I look like I’m all beauty and no brains? Think again, sweeties!

[ROUND 2]

Connie tries to peep into someone’s answers… but gets threatened with a vacuum cleaner by Scraps

Scraps: Not… on my watch!

Connie sighs, and presses a random button

Rubix: 8

Goob: 8

Bassie: 9

Spectra: 55

Connie: 63

Glisten: 17

Average: 26.7

Final Result: 21.3

Winner: Glisten

Glisten: I… won? YES, baby, YES!

Everyone else groans, as they earn one point.

A montage of guessing starts, as Toons look utterly stressed on what their fellow Toons are picking. As the rounds go, their guesses and the final results lower. Spectra, Connie, Bassie again, twice and Rubix can be seen winning the subsequent rounds.

Goob hyperventilates as he struggles to keep up with the rest of the Toons…

Final Result: 8.9

Winner: Glisten 

Final Result: 6.9

Winner: Bassie

Final Result: 5.9

Winner: Connie

OUT: GOOB

Goob: Wait… I have… ten points… what happens next?

Dandy: Nothing harmless, trust me…

Goob gets dowsed in Mountain Dew… and his chair falls into a pit. Goob screams in fear as he falls into the abyss below.

Dandy: Oh, and there goes our little Goobster! Well then… now that you’ve got the gist on how this challenge works, I’ve got a little surprise for you!… EVERYONE LOSES FIVE POINTS!

The relieved faces of the remaining contestants can be seen.

CONFESSIONAL:

Spectra: Honestly, that was close! If I had another loss the next time… I could be toast!

CONFESSIONAL:

Rubix: Ok, this is honestly… harder than I thought it would be…

Dandy: Also, you guys have a five-minute break! This is the time to catch a breather, maybe talk strategy with someone?

Rubix, Connie and Spectra band together, concocting a plan.

Rubix: Ok, so… we vote together?

Connie: Yeah… one problem. How are we supposed to know what numbers we guess?

Spectra: Come to think of it…

Dandy: Remember, you’re NOT allowed to communicate with each other throughout the game?

Spectra: Ok… how about, we all vote multiples of 5? That way, we can reduce the number of possible numbers we’d guess!

Connie: And oh, make sure they’re as low as possible! We can’t risk getting thrown off by a high number.

Rubix: Awesome! Ready, team?

Rubix, Connie and Spectra form a hand stack

Spectra: LET’S DO THIS!

[ROUND 11]

Rubix, Connie and Spectra confidently guess random multiples of 5:

Rubix: 5

Connie: 15

Spectra: 10

Bassie looks at the tablet, trying to pick a number from zero to ten.

CONFESSIONAL:

Bassie: Well, since everyone is starting to choose lower numbers, the lower the better!

Bassie chooses 3, while Glisten chooses 29.

Average: 12.4

Final Result: 9.9

Winner: Spectra

Spectra:…OH MY GOD, THAT WAS SO, SO CLOSE!

Bassie: Ok, maybe I chose a number that’s… too low?

Glisten: WHAT?! THERE’S… THERE’S NO WAY!

[ROUND 12]

Spectra, Rubix and Connie are seen in separate panels, thinking of which number to choose. All three of them choose 5, while Bassie chooses 7. Glisten chooses 4.

Average: 5.2

Final Result: 4.2

Winner: Glisten

Glisten: YES! YES YES YES YES YES!

Rubix: WHAT?!

Spectra: There’s no way.

Glisten: It’s called skill, losers. Now, DEAL WITH IT.

Bassie: Ok… you may have lost these two rounds, but you’re still winning. Just take a deep breath… and…

Another montage of guessing starts. Spectra, Rubix and Connie focus on multiples of fives while Bassie can be seen scratching her head. Glisten raises his arms up as he wins another round, while Connie bangs the table in anger, being somehow far away from the final result.

Rubix crosses his fingers, hoping that he doesn’t lose this round… he somehow picks the exact Final Result, and takes a breather. Spectra scratches her head as she contemplates on whether to choose between 25 and 30… she picks 30.

Rubix: 15

Connie: 10

Bassie: 14

Glisten: 10

Average: 15.8

Final Result: 12.6

Winner: Rubix

Rubix: YES!

Spectra looks at her monitor, slightly pissed and anxious as her eight points increases to a nine.

Glisten casually stretches his arm, confident that his guess is not too far off from the Final Result… it is way lower than the Final Result.

Glisten: Ok, WHAT THE HELL?!

Meanwhile, a horrified Spectra looks at her screen, finding out that she’s snagged ten points.

Spectra: Oh… no.

Rubix: What… what happened?

Spectra: I… snagged ten points and I’m out.

Mountain Dew gets poured all over Spectra as she falls into the abyss, screaming.

Rubix: SPECTRA… NOOOOO!

Spectra: WIN THIS FOR MEEeeee!

Dandy: We’re 18 rounds in… and TWO people are out! As usual, all of you will lose five points.

Bassie: Phew…

Dandy: Before we start the five minute break, we’re aware of a strategy used by a few of you…

Connie: What… strategy?

Dandy:…The multiples of five strategy?

Connie: Oh… we’re definitely not using it.

Bassie:…They’re 100% using the strategy… trust me! I overheard them!

Dandy: Well, that’s not against the rules… until now!

A new rule appears in front of the final three (and Glisten)’s monitors:

If two or more Toons pick the same number, they will automatically lose.

Dandy: And your five minute break… begins now!

Rubix and Connie are discussing strategy, again.

Rubix: Well… this is bad!

Connie: I’m sure we can find another strategy!… Still, low numbers as always?

Rubix: You guessed it!

Connie: Ok… I’ve noticed that guesses are never above thirty… most of the time. So…

Rubix: 30 x 0.8… I think it’s 24.

Connie: So… our guesses should be around 10 to 24?

Rubix: Well… sure, why not?

Connie: Geheheh, they’re going down!

Meanwhile, Bassie is trying to form a temporary alliance with Glisten

Bassie: Well…

Glisten: I… JUST, NO!

Bassie: B… but-

Glisten: I’m not even part of this game, I’m only here because I thought I would man a BEAUTY CONTEST!… Plus, after all that you’ve done, do you think anyone here can trust you?

Bassie: I… well… uhh… I’M ONLY DOING THIS TO BE IMPORTANT. I NEED TO WIN!… I… can’t stay a carbon copy forever.

Glisten: Well, I thought you were special, but YOU’VE PROVEN TO BE NO DIFFERENT FROM… who’s that stone again… Darksion?!

Bassie: WHAT, NO! No… I’m not like him… I mean, sure we’ve been together but… BUT-

Glisten: No buts! And I’m not making deals with the devil.

Bassie: I’m not a devil… right?

Glisten: (sighs) Look, you’ve messed up big-time, we all know what you’ve done… one piece of advice I can give you… THIS ISN’T YOU, BASSIE! They will only like and trust the NICE Bassie you were, not the EVIL MEAN Bassie you are right now.

Bassie: I’m not evil and mean… Trust me!

Glisten does not give a response.

Dandy (from the speakers): Attention, contestants… your five minute break is over!

Glisten walks away from Bassie, leaving her… slightly lonely

CONFESSIONAL:

Bassie: Sure, I’ve landed Jonathan in the hospital, but I still THINK I’m a… I’M A GOOD PERSON INSIDE, I JUST KNOW IT!

Glisten guesses the number 17… which just so happens to be guessed by Bassie and Connie. All three slap their faces at once as they earn one point. Rubix tries to think of numbers no one would guess… and picks the exact same number as Glisten. Bassie picks the number zero… and is far off from the Final Result, 8.9.

More final results can be shown:

Final Result: 17

Winner: Rubix

Final Result: 3.4

Winner: Bassie

Connie bites her own fingernails… as she picks the exact same number as Glisten and gets ten points. Mountain Dew rushes through her body as her chair falls into the darkness. Connie, unamused… floats there as the second new rule gets introduced:

Choosing the exact Final Result will cause your opponents to earn two points.

Connie gets sucked into a vacuum cleaner, as it starts to shake in anger.

Rubix "scratches" his desk, trying to calculate his opponents’ moves… while Bassie bangs her head repeatedly on the panel… causing her to choose the exact same number as Rubix. Glisten scratches his head, trying to predict Bassie and Rubix’s guesses… and guesses the exact Final Result: 4.

Glisten: Phew!

More rounds’ results are shown in this order:

Final Result: 4

Winner: Bassie

Final Result: 4

Winner: Rubix

Glisten and Rubix are seen in separate panels… both picking 1 as an answer. Bassie confidently presses zero… but Rubix and Glisten press 3 and 8 respectively… granting Rubix the win. Rubix starts to get stressed as every single guess is either far off from the Final Guess… or the exact same guess as someone else.

[ROUND 27]

Glisten: Come on… Glisten… pick a low number… one?

Glisten presses the number one…

Bassie picks the number one, while Rubix also picks the number one.

Final Result: 0.8

Winner: No one.

Bassie: WHAT?!

Glisten: This… is bad.

Rubix: I’M DEAD, I’M SO DEAD!

Dandy: Dead you are, Rubix! Cos you’ve racked up ten points!

Glisten: Oh… no.

Glisten gets doused with Mountain Dew as the floor below him collapses. Glisten falls into the deep, dark pit, out of the challenge.

Dandy:…We’ve reached our final two! Who will out-guess the other? Find out, right after this commercial break!

[commercial break]

Dandy: Welcome back! It’s now a battle between Bassie and Glisten, on who will win this challenge!

Bassie: So… where’s the five-point deduction?

Dandy: Hahahaha… no. Anyways, since all of you are guessing lower and lower numbers… here’s the twist: THE THIRD, AND FINAL NEW RULE!

The third rule is flashed in front of Bassie and Glisten:

If a Toon guesses zero, the other Toon can win the round by guessing 100.

Glisten and Bassie gasp.

CONFESSIONAL:

Bassie: Ok, I’m going to stick with… higher numbers next time.

CONFESSIONAL:

Glisten: Ok… if I guess zero… Bassie can win by guessing 100… but hmmm… maybe avoid zero? But again… the lower, the better… WAIT WAIT WAIT, I THINK I GOT IT!

Bassie looks slightly anxious, while Glisten is smirking.

[ROUND 28]

Dandy: Are you ready, Toons?

Bassie and Glisten nod.

Dandy: Awesome! Now… start VOTING!

Bassie picks 78 while Glisten picks 1.

Average: 39.5

Final Result: 31.6

Winner: Glisten

Glisten: YES!

Bassie: WHAT?! No… BUT… BUT…

Glisten: What are you going to do Glisten, guess zero next time?

Bassie: No… BUT…

Bassie starts to snap as Glisten somehow beats her by guessing one… again. Bassie hyperventilates…

Bassie: Hold on… let me just… (votes one)

Glisten votes one as well… causing both of them to lose.

Glisten: (insincere) OH… NO…

Dandy: If Bassie loses the next round… Glisten WINS!

Glisten: This is really, really bad! IF only I could press zero…

Bassie overhears Glisten… and presses one hundred. Glisten smiles… and presses one.

Average: 50.5

Final Result: 40.4

Winner: Glisten

Glisten: YES!

Bassie: WHAT… BUT… I thought you’d press zero… so… so-

Glisten: Awww… is Bassie about to snap again?

Bassie: WHAT… NO… NO!… Oh, you want to see me snap? I’LL SNAP YOUR BACK IN HALF-

Mountain Dew is poured onto Bassie as she falls into the deep dark pit.

Dandy: Glisten WINS today’s challenge, so NO ONE IS SAFE!

Glisten: SO… do I return to the game, or at least vote Bassie out?

Dandy: Hahahaha… NO.

Glisten:…UGH, THIS CHALLENGE IS A WASTE OF TIME.

Dandy: Don’t be sad, Glisten… at least you won!

Glisten’s eye twitches.

CONFESSIONAL:

Glisten trashes the entire Confessional room in anger

[ELIMINATION CEREMONY]

The Toons are at Shelly’s floor… all under scrutiny.

Dandy: Welcome to tonight’s elimination ceremony! Now… get voting!

The Toons line up in front of the ballot box.

Rubix: Yeah… we all know who we’re voting out (reveals vote for Bassie)

Goob scratches his head… unsure on who to vote out.

Goob: (reveals vote for Rubix) Nothing personal, this vote is… completely random!

Bassie smirks as she writes down her vote… before Dandy reads it.

Simon: aLl VoTeS iN?

Dandy:…All votes are in, in, in, in and IN! Dyle, tell us why some of you… might be going home!

Dyle: Bassie!… You’ve been exposed for all your various reality TV sins.

Bassie: Sins? What sins? I’m not a sinner!

Everyone but Goob glares at Bassie, who starts to panic.

Dyle: And… Goob.

Goob: What?

Dyle:…You’re the odd one out here.

Goob: Uhh… huh?

Dandy: Well then, all votes are in and are finalised!

Rubix: Well… you’re going down, Bassie!

Bassie: Oh, yeah… I think it’s my turn to go…

Rubix smirks… as Bassie’s upset face turns into an evil smile.

Bassie:…if not for THIS!

Bassie shows everyone her Immunity Idol.

Connie: WOAH WOAH WOAH, you… YOU HAD THE IDOL ALL ALONG?!

Bassie: Yup! Thank you, Bobette… thank you!

Rubix: DON’T YOU DARE, Bassie… DON’T YOU DARE!

Bassie walks up to Dandy and Simon.

Bassie: I’d… uhh… like to use this Idol on myself!

Dandy: Very well, Bassie!…

Simon: i CaN coNFiRM tHaT THaT iS a VaLiD ImMUnITy IdOl! AlL vOtES aGAiNSt BAsSie Do NOt CouNT!

Yatta throws a candy at Bassie, who catches it with her basket head.

Bassie: Oh, I know my victory’s going to be sweet!

Dandy: First vote… Bassie. Doesn’t count.

Yatta snatches the Bassie vote and eats it.

Yatta: MMMM… been SO long since I ate votes!

Dandy: Second vote… Bassie. Doesn’t count.

Yatta bites the vote and gobbles it up. Rubix cringes as the bits of paper fly everywhere.

Dandy: Third vote… and first valid vote… Rubix!

Yatta:… Awww…

Dandy: And this vote is for… Bassie! Doesn’t count.

Yatta snatches the vote and eats it whole.

Yatta: YAY, TASTY VOTES!!!! GAHAHAHAH!

Dandy: And… fourteenth Toon voted off the Million Tape Game 2: Distractors VS Extractors… is…

The camera alternates between a smiling Bassie and a slightly anxious Rubix

Dandy:…RUBIX! That’s two votes, you must go.

Rubix: (sighs) Well played, Bassie… well played.

Bassie: Thanks…?

Spectra brings Rubix in for a final, "goodbye hug"

Spectra: I… I’M SORRY I… I…

Rubix: It’s alright… just promise me one more thing.

Spectra: Wh… what?

Rubix: Win this for me. You got this.

Spectra tears up… but quickly wipes it and nods, as Rubix heads for the Elevator of Shame.

FINAL CONFESSIONAL:

Rubix: I know… it’s a shame I’m cut from the competition… again. But at least I had a great time! If I had one last piece advice for my friends left… It’s just a goodbye, not a farewell. They got this.

Rubix, slightly disappointed, enters the Elevator of Shame. He finger-guns the audience and waves at them, as the Elevator of Shame closes on him.

Dandy:…Looks like our fan favourite Rubix is unfortunately out!… again. But I’m sure he’ll make a lasting impact on our remaining four contestants! Speaking of them, who will out-beautify each other and who’s too chopped to stay here? Find out, next time… on the Million Tape Game 2: Distractors VS Extractors!

Chapter Text

Dandy: Last time on the Million Tape Game, our final five attempted to out-guess each other in the classic Beauty Contest that is 100% original and definitely not stolen from a Japanese Netflix series.

Dyle:…It’s 100% stolen from a Japanese Netflix series-

Dandy: What Japanese Netflix series? Anyways, Glisten strutted into the fray, not knowing that it isn’t actually a beauty contest like Dress to Impress. Anyways, Glisten managed to demolish everyone in the game, so NO one is safe from elimination. This placed a humongous target on Bassie’s back, but with her stolen Immunity Idol, Bassie turned things around, resulting in Rubix’s second elimination!… I’ll miss him. Anyways, four Toons remain in the running, who will outplay and outslay the others? Find out, right here… on the Million Tape Game 2: Distractors VS Extractors!

[intro]

Goob is playing some video games, with a bag of sugar that’s dressed up as Jonathan.

Goob: Come on, Jon! A little… help here?

Goob’s character can be seen being absolutely demolished by various enemies inside the video game.

CONFESSIONAL:

Goob: (sighs) Things really are different without Jonathan…

Bassie walks over to Goob, while he’s preoccupied.

Bassie: Hey… Goobster! So uhh… wanna form an alliance? Spectra and Connie are going to vote us off the next moment, so best team up to get rid of them!

Goob: Uh huh!

Bassie: Awesome!

Bassie walks away. Connie floats over to Goob

Connie: Hey, Goob!

Goob: Yeah?

Connie: Form an alliance? We need to vote Bassie out as soon as possible because she’s evil.

Goob: Ok!

Connie: Cool!

CONFESSIONAL:

Bassie: That was surprisingly easy…

CONFESSIONAL:

Goob:…What did Bassie and Connie say again?… Whatever!

Goob continues playing video games. Simon crawls on the ceiling and drops down, right next to "Jonathan".

Simon: Can… cAn I HAvE bAg oF sUGaR?

Goob: Ok sure!

Simon: THanKs!

Goob: No problem- Hold on… wait a minute… NO NO NO NO NO-

Simon ravages through "Jonathan", opening the bag of sugar and eating the insides

Goob: JONATHAN, NOOOOOoooo!

CONFESSIONAL:

Goob cries with the empty bag of sugar on his hand

Dandy (from the speakers): Uhh, Goob? You’ve been in there for thirty minutes and that’s not Jonathan.

Goob: B… BUT-

Dandy (from the speakers): GET A GRIP.

Connie and Spectra are chatting over a microwaved 7-Eleven meal.

Spectra: So, you’ve managed to get Goob into our alliance?

Connie: Surprisingly easy, but yeah! Though… it’s Goob. We can simply throw him away should that basket win.

Spectra: Fair point. He’s probably the second least tolerable Toon here… I’m surprised he’s managed to get this far!

Connie: Really? Or maybe it’s the power of yaoi that brought him this far?

Spectra: Oooooh, what yaoi?

Connie: Goob’s head over heels for Jonathan! The two… are IN. LOVE.

Spectra: Oooh, kinky!

Goob walks by Connie and Spectra, waving at them.

Connie:…Eh, he’s really nice… unlike Bassie.

Spectra: Either way, I know that basket’s going to get one foot in the grave.

Dandy (from the speakers): Attention, final four… please meet me at the Elevator of Shame for your second last challenge!

Connie: Look at the time, we have to go!

Spectra: LET’S DO THIS!

FROM THIS POINT ON, ALL CONFESSIONALS TAKE PLACE IN A CRUISE SHIP BEDROOM.

Time skip. The final four are on a beach with four wooden boats. Dandy and Dyle are on a cruise ship.

Dandy: WELCOME, final four… to your penultimate challenge, deep-sea treasure hunting!

Dyle: Hidden below these waters are juicy treasure that are waiting to be found! You need to get as much treasure as possible by the two hour time limit… but before we start… we’ve got letters, again!

Dandy throws letters at the final four. Goob reads his letter first:

Dear Goob,

I’m sorry that we couldn’t make it to the finale together, but you’ve stayed strong despite that. You’ve got this. I’ll be watching from the Infirmary.

Love,

Jonathan

Goob tears up a little. Connie peeps into the letter

Connie: Oooh… someone’s in love!

Goob: Yeah well… hahaha… yeah…! (blushes)

Connie: Oooh, what’s this?

Connie,

I’m surprised you made it this far, despite thou sheer immaturity.

From your brother and protector,

Soulvester

Connie, unamused, throws the letter into the waters below

Dandy: Oooh, looks like someone’s not happy with her letter!

Bassie tears her letter into pieces.

Bassie: I’m not going to read my letter.

Dandy: Well then, I’m going to read it out loud to everyone, I guess…

Bassie: OH, don’t you dare…

Dandy: OH, yes I dare… Dear, Bassie. What happened to you? You used to be all friendly… But now, you seem to have lost your mind… Anyways, I’m glad you made it. Good luck on the finals, you’ll definitely need it. Regards, Lance. P.S. Sorry if I went too far. No hard feelings, though… Wow, talk about sarcastic!

CONFESSIONAL:

Bassie: Ok… that wasn’t… that bad… hahaha…

CONFESSIONAL:

Bassie trashes the Confessional room in a panic attack

Dandy: I can assure you that the final challenge will be very painful for you Bassie!

Bassie: Yeah… I can take on… any challenges!

Spectra reads her letter:

Dear Mrs. Phaenidae,

I love how far you’ve gotten. I like how you’ve became best friends with Rubix, one of my favourite Toons/TV show (co-)hosts! You’ve got this, I believe in you!

Yours sincerely/faithfully,

Gourdy

Spectra: Well, this letter is really cute!

Dandy: Also, I’m aware that most of you know who to vote off, hmm?

Connie: Absolutely.

Dandy: Well then, today’s your unlucky day! ‘Cos the worst performing Toon will be automatically eliminated from the game!

Spectra: WHAT?!

Goob: NO WAY-

Connie: OH GOD NO.

Bassie: Oh, YES! Thank you thank you THANK YOU! Oh, you two are SO going down!

Connie: We’ll see… wait, what do you mean… you two?

Connie is now stranded in the middle of the ocean.

Connie: Great. Now, what do I have…

Connie finds a fishing rod and patiently waits to pull up some treasure.

Connie: This is taking WAY too long… oh wait, I’m a ghost! I can simply swim down and collect treasures without drowning! Oh, Connie, the genius you are!

Connie takes a deep dive into the ocean, before the camera pans to Dandy and Dyle, relaxing on a private cruise ship.

Dandy: Who will find the most treasure, and who’s voted out? Find out, right after this commercial break!

[commercial break]

Bassie takes a deep breath and dives into the waters below… she is unable to see anything

CONFESSIONAL:

Bassie: IT’S… IT’S SO HARD TO SEE!

Bassie hits something with her feet… she gets poked by it. Bassie winces in pain and panics, twirling around the object like a synchronised swimmer. Bassie swims towards the object and picks it up, it’s a golden sword.

Bassie: Hahah… surely it must be treasure!… But no, I’m NOT diving down ever, EVER again.

Bassie pulls out a fishing net and uses it to catch treasure instead…

Bassie: This IS going to take a long, LONG time.

Meanwhile, Connie is throwing random treasures she finds into her boat.

Connie: This IS going to be an easy, peasy challenge.

Spectra is busy fishing for treasure… she feels a tug on her fishing rod.

Spectra: Come on… please be something good…

Spectra reels in an old boot, which hits her in the face.

Spectra: Wow, thank you!

Meanwhile, Goob is using his long, stretchy arms to grab treasures easily.

Goob: Man, this challenge is relaxing… I can take a loooong nap!… Ah, why the heck not?

Goob relaxes in his boat, while Bassie patiently waits for something to tug…

Bassie: Come on, fishing rod… work your magic…

Bassie feels an extremely strong tug.

Bassie: YES, THIS IS IT!

Bassie excited reels in her latest catch… Twisted Pebble with a diving helmet

Bassie: Nope… not it!

Twisted Pebble growls and aggressively barks at the basket, before attacking her. Spectra notices the attack from afar and giggles.

CONFESSIONAL:

Spectra: Ahh… Bassie finally got her just deserts.

Bassie tries to kick Twisted Pebble off, but he doesn’t relents. Twisted Pebble tries biting onto Bassie but she kicks the feral monster in the thighs, causing it to topple off and fall. Spectra notices the splash… and continues fishing for treasure… she reels in a radar.

Spectra:…Meh, useless-

The radar beeps irritatingly loudly, frustrating Spectra who throws it into the ocean below.

CONFESSIONAL:

Dyle: Did Spectra just… throw away that one thing that will help her win?

Spectra feels another tug on her fishing rod… she reels in Twisted Pebble too.

Spectra: Oh GOD, no…

Spectra screams as she repeatedly punches the Twisted to no avail. Bassie looks at Spectra’s predicament from afar and giggles… as a prop cloud falls onto her.

Bassie: OW- watch it!

Bassie throws the cloud into the ocean, and continues fishing for treasure… she reels in a huge treasure chest.

Bassie: Woah… beautiful!

Bassie opens the chest… to find lots and LOTS of gold. Bassie shoves most of the gold out of the treasure chest… and finds nothing else.

Bassie: Not even anything for the challenge?

Dandy (from the speakers): There are a few that will help… Spectra just threw one away!

Bassie: Thanks, Dandy!

The camera quickly pans to a shocked Spectra… who impatiently tries to fish up the radar she threw into the deep blue ocean.

Spectra: Oh no, WHERE THE HELL IS THE RADAR?!

Spectra’s boat accidentally knocks onto Goob’s… who’s fast asleep.

Spectra: Oooops… (steals a few gold coins) Don’t mind me…

Spectra rows her boat away.

Meanwhile, Bassie is still trying to reel in some treasure, and advantages. She feels a tug and quickly reels in a net gun.

Bassie: Oooh… this will surely be easier now, HEHEHEH!

Bassie launches the net gun into the sea… and catches a few pieces of junk, treasure and Twisted Shelly with diving equipment.

Bassie: Oh dear, WHY?!

Twisted Shelly roars at Bassie as the latter tries to push the Twisted back into the waters. Connie notices Bassie getting attacked by the dinosaur, and continues diving for more treasure.

Bassie: HELLO, SOMEONE? HELP ME OUT THERE, PLEASE?! (screams)

Twisted Shelly bites Bassie’s hand. Spectra laughs from afar, causing Bassie to be unamused

Spectra:…No. Good luck, babe!

Bassie screams in anger and pain as Twisted Shelly continues to maul the basket.

Spectra continues to fish with her measly fishing rod as another prop cloud falls onto her.

Spectra: NOT AGAIN!

Connie continues diving for treasure… before finding a huge, unexplored underwater cave below.

Connie: Oh, Spectra! You might wanna… check this cave out!… Spectra?… ANYONE?!

The camera zooms out, revealing that Connie is all alone at sea.

Connie:…Heck, I’d take Lightning’s company at this point!

Connie gets struck by a falling prop bolt of lightning

Connie:…NOT ACTUAL LIGHTNING, TOON LIGHTNING!

Twisted Lightning, in a small floatie, drifts towards Connie, growling aggressively

Connie: Oh… no.

Connie’s screams can be heard in the background as Goob continues taking a nap.

Goob: Ahhh… just the wind…

The wind blows Goob right next to Twisted Glisten’s floatie

Twisted Glisten: Oh, it’s you… stay close!… Hello?

Goob is still fast asleep, as the wind blows him away from the cracked mirror.

Twisted Glisten:…I need someone.

Connie and Bassie are then shown in separate panels, trying to get the Twisted off their boat. As Connie’s panel pans away, Bassie repeated kicks Twisted Shelly in the face but gets bitten, and trashed around like a chew toy.

Connie: Need any help, Bassie? (gets punched by Twisted Lightning)

Bassie: YEAH!

Connie: Ok… wait, no!- OW! See ya, sucker- OW! OW OW OW OW OW-

Bassie: Yeah, let’s see who really needs help in the end- GAH!

Twisted Shelly jumps on Bassie repeatedly, as Connie gets pinned down by Twisted Lightning. Spectra awkwardly whistles as she continues fishing for treasure. Spectra feels a tug.

Spectra: Hold on… I think I got something!

The camera quickly pans towards Bassie, who successfully pushes Twisted Shelly off.

Bassie:…Please be something bad… please be something bad…

Spectra (from afar): An old boot, AGAIN!

Bassie:…Phew!

Bassie gets buried in falling snow.

Bassie:…If you’re gonna throw random stuff at me, at least MAKE THEM GEOGRAPHICALLY ACCURATE-

A large model of the Eiffel Tower falls onto Bassie

Dandy (from the speakers): Huh, guess the sky really is falling today!

Bassie’s head emerges from the snow and shakes… unamused.

Dandy (from the speakers): Anyways, ATTENTION, ALL TOONS. YOU HAVE 20 MINUTES LEFT! GET ALL YOUR TREASURES READY, and maybe sabotage your friends, ‘COS THE TOON WITH THE LEAST AMOUNT OF TREASURE… IS OUT!

Connie continues getting savagely beaten up by Twisted Lightning

CONFESSIONAL:

Connie: Should I care that the others might catch up? No! Should I care for my safety and well-being? YES!

Connie screams in pain, as Spectra throws a rock at Twisted Lightning

Spectra: Hey, sha-thunderhead! (blares air-horn) You want a piece of her? Well, you’ll have to GET THROUGH ME!

Twisted Lightning leaps onto Spectra, who kicks him in the groin. Twisted Lightning cringes in pain and gets thrown back onto his floatie.

Connie: Phew, thanks, Spectra!

Spectra: No problem… but we’re running out of time! Bassie could catch up!

Connie: Please, this challenge is way too easy!

Goob is still fast asleep, despite the announcement. His boat hits Dandy’s cruise ship. Dandy looks at Goob from above, a little concerned

Dandy: Uhh… Goob? You might wanna wake up and start collecting more treasure if you want to stay in the game.

No response.

Dandy:…Huh, guess fast, furious and sleepy always loses the race!

Meanwhile, Bassie worriedly clutches her net gun, trying to find a way to turn the tides around… literally or figuratively.

Bassie: Come on… please… find something useful…

Bassie reels up some junk.

Bassie:…GOD DANG IT!

Connie (from afar): WHAT’S THE MATTER, FEELING THREATENED?

Bassie: CONNIE, SHUT UP!

Connie (from afar): HAH, no.

Bassie: Watch your mouth, Connie… watch. your. mouth.

Bassie fires the net gun into the deep, dark waters… as Connie continues scooping up treasure for her boat.

Meanwhile, Goob finally wakes up in front of Dandy

Goob: (yawns)… Good morning… Dandy…

Dandy: Goob, you have FIVE MINUTES LEFT! So, HURRY UP COS YOU’RE ON THE CHOPPING BLOCK!

Goob: WAIT, WHAT?! Oh no, oh nonononono-

Goob hurriedly scoops as much treasure as possible into his boat as possible… while Dandy heaves a sigh.

Dandy: That should motivate him!

Pebble: ARF! [Dandy!]

Dandy: Oh, yes, Pebble?

Pebble:…Bworf, arf! [You’ve got a call!]

Dandy: OK, I’M COMING!

Dandy and Pebble rush back inside the cruise ship, as Goob continues fishing up as much treasure with his hands.

Bassie manages to catch a live bomb with her hands

Bassie: GAH, WHAT IS THAT?!

Bassie reads the label on the bomb

This bomb will detonate in one minute if outside water

Bassie: OH MY GOD, GET IT OUT GET IT OUT GET IT OUT, GAH! (throws the bomb onto Connie’s boat)

Meanwhile, Connie is trying to scout for treasure on the ocean floor.

Connie: Come on… where the heck are they-

Connie hears an explosion

Connie:…WHAT WAS THAT?!

The camera quickly pans upwards, revealing that Connie’s boat had exploded into pieces… before cutting back to Connie

Connie: This isn’t good- OW!

A gold coin phases through Connie

Connie: IS THAT… TREASURE?! YES YES YES YES YES- Wait a minute…

All of the treasure Connie collected during the challenge floats to the bottom of the sea.

Connie: NO NONONONONO, IT CAN’T BE!

Dandy (from the speakers): Times up, fishing rods DOWN!

Connie: This… is really, really, REALLY BAD!

[ELIMINATION CEREMONY]

This time, the Toons are at the cruise ship. A lifeboat can be seen in the background.

Dandy: Welcome, final four… to your first sudden-death Elimination Ceremony!

Bassie: WHEW, yes yes yes YES!

Dyle: This time, you’re not voting each other out, but rather… we’re going to check how much treasure you racked up…

The camera zooms into Connie’s worried look. Connie scratches her left elbow, as her breathing gets faster and faster.

Dandy: The Toon with the most amount of treasure… in the end… is none other than Bassie!

Bassie: YES! WOOHOO, in your face!

Nobody claps for Bassie… leaving her slightly disappointed. Yatta throws Bassie a piece of candy

Yatta: COME ON, BASSIE… CELEBRATE!

Simon:…sHe’S nOt HaPpY?!

Yatta: OH… how about… more CANDY! CANDY MAKES YOU HAPPY, RIGHT?!

Simon and Yatta pelt a disappointed Bassie with lots of candy, frustrating her.

CONFESSIONAL:

Bassie: OK, THIS IS STARTING… TO GET… ANNOYING!

Dandy: Oh, and this is the most juicy part… who racked up the least amount of treasure… and going home!

Dyle: With a total amount of… zero treasures collected… the fifteenth Toon voted off the Million Tape Game 2: Distractors VS Extractors is none other than… Connie.

Dandy: Please take the Lifeboat of Despair back on shore. The Elevator of Shame awaits you.

Disappointed, Connie floats her way to the Lifeboat of Despair.

FINAL CONFESSIONAL:

Connie: I… I had it going great! But… BUT for some reason, I lost all my treasure… somehow… Eh, probably Bassie’s fault. But, at least I had a good time, and I can prove to my LARPer twin brother that I can take myself seriously!

Connie gets onto the Lifeboat of Despair. Spectra follows her into the boat, as the two hug each other as a farewell.

Spectra: I’ll… win this game for you… I promise!

Connie: Thanks, and good luck.

Spectra waves Connie goodbye as the Lifeboat of Despair lowers itself down… the former runs back to her fellow finalists.

Dandy: And after twelve long episodes, we’ve got our final three! Who will get the gold, and who will explode into pieces? Will it be Goob?…

Goob waves at the camera

Dandy:…Bassie?

Bassie nervously smiles…

Dandy:…or Spectra?

Spectra’s unamused face fills the camera.

Dandy:…Find out, next time… on the grand finale… of the Million Tape Game 2: Distractors VS Extractors!

Chapter Text

Dandy: Last time on the Million Tape Game, our final four went out at sea for some treasure hunting!… Keep in mind, we are not responsible for any attacks from Twisteds encountered during the challenge. That is THEIR FAULT, not mine. Anyways, the Toon with the least amount of treasure collected in the end is OUT of the game, and never, EVER coming back! In the end, after an accidental play from Bassie, Connie lost all her treasure and got kicked out of the running, leaving behind our three, not-so-glorious finalists: Goob, Spectra and Bassie! Three Toons remain, who will finally win the million tapes? Find out, right here… on the grand finale… of the Million Tape Game 2: Distractors VS Extractors!

[intro]

Bassie looks into the kitchen in horror… with the fridge being trashed and broken into pieces.

Bassie: WHAT… in tarnation IS THIS?!

Dandy (from the speakers): Ohoho, we decided to mentally break you further before the finale, so we got Simon to ravage the entire fridge… now there’s nothing for you to eat!

Bassie: Hahah… this is fine… (screams in panic)

Spectra: Huh, guess someone’s really letting her inner banshee out.

Bassie:…(turns her head towards Spectra like an owl) I’m going to rip your spider limbs apart and CRUSH YOU IN THE FINALE! Just you wait…

Spectra: With what? Your ticking time bomb mentality?

Bassie: Connie tried to fight back against me, and guess what? SHE BLEW UP!

Spectra: Yeah, so what? Goob and I will crush you.

Bassie: Pfft, too bad he’s on MY SIDE.

Spectra: No, he’s on MY SIDE.

Bassie and Spectra inaudibly argue with each other while Goob just stands there, confused.

CONFESSIONAL:

Goob: Uhh… that was awkward.

Dandy (from the speakers): Attention, all Toons… meet me at the Elevator of Shame… for your final challenge!

Bassie: Alright…

Spectra: Prepare to get demolished, Bassie!

Goob:…This is exciting!

CONFESSIONAL:

Dandy: We’ve also brought back some of our past contestants back for their thoughts on the finalists!

CONFESSIONAL:

Flutter:…!

CONFESSIONAL:

Sparks:…Would you like some mac and cheese?-

Dandy (from the speakers): ANSWER THE QUESTION.

Sparks: Fine, fine… Goob!

CONFESSIONAL:

Toodles: I don’t know why Bassie became mean… and Spectra’s kinda mean too… so… Goob!

CONFESSIONAL:

June: I’m placing all my bets on Goob! He’s really friendly!

CONFESSIONAL:

Darksion:…Spectra, you got this. CRUSH THIS MONSTER DOWN TO THE GROUND.

CONFESSIONAL:

Rodger: Hmm… probably Spectra. She’s the perfect balance of wit and brawn… though lacking in the social aspect. Goob on the other hand…

CONFESSIONAL:

Lance: Tough choice… uhh… maybe Spectra?

CONFESSIONAL:

Bobette:…So, uhh… Coal, any idea on who’s winning?

Coal:…Bork. [No.]

Bobette: Well… I’m putting all my money on Goob!

CONFESSIONAL:

Jonathan is on a wheechair, with a left arm and neck cast.

Jonathan: Hey so… uhh… I’m doing fine, just… still injured. Anyways, babe, you got this.

Smores croaks.

Jonathan: Hehehe, Smores agrees with me on this one!… Wait, you’re rooting for Spectra? It’s fine!

CONFESSIONAL:

Rubix: Spectra, you got this. I believe in you!

CONFESSIONAL:

Connie: Please, I’m obviously rooting for Spectra.

The final three arrive at the bottom of a large tower… with the million tapes at the top.

Dandy: Welcome, final three… to the one tower that stands between you and one million sweet, SWEET tapes!… The Time Tower!

Dyle: Entrance to this tower requires a watch… and a collar.

Spectra, Bassie and Goob put on watches… and their respective collar.

Dandy: Got your collars on? Great! For this challenge, we’ve asked our eliminated contestants to create challenges for you to traverse through! What are they, hang around and find out!

Dyle: Each of you will have five minutes to clear the tower… which would be impossible. This is where the wristband comes in. Placed around the tower, are stations that will give you extra time. These stations will ensure that you make it straight up to the top, with at least a minute to spare.

Dandy: If the five minutes is up… this happens.

Shrimpo: UGH, IT’S ALREADY BEEN FOUR MINUTES, WHEN WILL THIS CHALLENGE BE-

Shrimpo’s watch beeps… as he gets tranquillised and falls onto the floor. Spectra, Bassie and Goob gasp in horror.

Dyle:…DANDICUS, WHAT DID I SAY ABOUT USING TRANQUILLISERS?!

Dandy: IT’S DANDY, and there’s ABSOLUTELY NOTHING WRONG with tranquillisers! Anyways… your five minutes will start once you enter the tower… so… catch a breath… and-

Dandy gets trampled on by the finalists as they excitedly make their way into the Time Tower… as the camera zooms out to reveal the eliminated contestants, watching the whole ordeal from the top of the Time Tower.

Toodles: Come on, Goob… please win… You got this…

Fan: Hi!

Toodles: GAH, GET AWAY…

Spectra, Bassie and Goob arrive at their first challenge: Drone flying. Three butterfly-like drones and their respective remote controls can be seen on a table.

A sign is seen right next to the table:

Use the drones to get the key out of the floor.

Goob: Ok… so, we use the drones… to get the key?

Bassie and Spectra are already laser-focused on getting the key with the drone. Goob quickly catches up… and struggles with controls because of his spaghetti arms.

Goob: Ok… this is… hard…

Spectra clinches her key first and runs for the exit

Spectra: SO LONG, SUCKERS!

Bassie: Oh… no-

Goob is close to his key, but Bassie shoves him away, disorienting him and buying her some time.

Bassie: NOT ON MY WATCH!

Goob: OW, BASSIE…

Bassie obtains her key and leaves for the exit… leaving Goob with the drones.

CONFESSIONAL:

Goob: Not cool, Bassie… not cool.

CONFESSIONAL:

Bassie: I know… he’s on my side, but I need the million tapes.

Bassie and Spectra find themselves at Smores’s challenge: A life-sized platformer. A time station, adding one minute, can be seen at a corner far away from the exit.

Bassie pushes Spectra into the waters as she rushes for the exit. Spectra shoots a web at Bassie in the eyes, causing her to trip and fall.

Bassie: OW!

Spectra smirks and flips Bassie off, as she climbs her way to the corner. As she approaches the corner… Goob accidentally pulls her back to the start before she could get the extra minute.

Spectra: GOOB, NO!

Goob: Sorry eh, just wanted to uhh… grapple my way across?

Spectra: OH MY GOD… I have to get to that corner… again? UGH

Spectra makes her way towards the corner, while Goob simply crosses the monkey bars and lands on a floating lily pad. Bassie tauntingly waves at Spectra before leaving the platformer. Goob follows Bassie into the hallways as Spectra gains one extra minute.

Goob and Bassie arrive at a cooking show… run other than Sparks.

Sparks: For this challenge, you need to make mac and cheese! First person to make the mac and cheese… gets two extra minutes, and begin!

Bassie quickly ravages through the fridge to find ingredients for mac and cheese… while Goob simply takes some dried macaroni and cheese. Bassie quickly whisks the ingredients for a cheese sauce while Goob… shreds an entire cheese block onto the dried, uncooked macaroni and passes it to Sparks. Spectra finally enters the kitchen… slightly tired.

Sparks:…Hmm, doesn’t look like mac and cheese…

Goob: It has macaroni, and cheese!

Sparks: Hmm, fair point! Goob wins the extra two minutes!

Goob’s wristband plays a little jingle as two minutes gets added. Bassie immediately stops preparing her cheese sauce and starts preparing her undercooked macaroni and cheese.

Bassie: DONE!

Sparks: Hmm… eh, whatever floats your boat!

Bassie: YES!

Bassie purposefully throws her uncooked mac and cheese at Spectra.

CONFESSIONAL:

Spectra: So much for making it to the finale, I guess.

Goob runs into an LED room, with a few obstructions.

PA system: Pediculophobia is a fear of what?

Three options appear on a wall in front of Goob, those being "Lice", "Worms" and "Mosquitoes"… the word F O C U S appears in front of Goob… as Bassie and Spectra tiredly make their ways into the room.

Bassie: OH GOD, NOT THIS AGAIN!

Spectra: WHYYYY?

…"Isolation" by Nighthawk22 plays as the options turn into white dots that fly around the room in supersonic speeds. Goob tries to focus on one white dot… but gets dizzy and walks messily around the room… slamming on random obstructions

Goob: OW!

Bassie and Spectra also fall victim to epilepsy before the dots turn into red, yellow and blue… all three finalists fall over onto each other, forming a dogpile on the correct corner.

PA system: Correct. You may pass.

An entrance gets revealed, as the door slides open. Bassie, Spectra and Goob race through the door, squeezing tightly against each other, as Bassie shoves the two away and rushes straight for the fifth floor. The camera quickly pans towards Dandy.

Dandy: Which finalist will make it straight to the top, winning one million tapes? And who will run out of time? Find out… right after this commercial break!

[commercial break]

Goob, Bassie and Spectra all rush in different directions to find the fifth floor… with colourful hallways dotting their movements. Bassie quickly stops to gain an extra thirty seconds while Goob somehow answers a trivia question correctly and heads straight to the sixth floor: It has three large fireplaces, with a sign on the middle:

Gather as much coal into the fireplace as possible to leave this floor.

Goob: Thanks!

Goob quickly hauls coal into the fireplace in the middle. Meanwhile, Bassie and Spectra fight each other again in an arena…

Spectra: LET… ME GO-

Bassie: GET YOUR STICKY… HANDS OFF ME, UGH!

Bassie throws Spectra onto a wall… and blocks the second entrance to the fifth floor.

Spectra:…Great, JUST GREAT.

Spectra explores the rest of the hallways, as Goob continues shoving coal into the fireplace. Bassie throws a stray piece of coal onto Goob.

Goob: OW!

Bassie: Teehee, sorry!

Goob:…Ok.

Goob’s fireplace gets lit up in flames, signalling that he can leave for the next floor.

Meanwhile, Spectra is stuck in an elevator… with the following question:

x^2 - 6x + 9 = 0

Spectra closes her eyes and presses the number three button… which sends her straight to the fireplaces.

The camera quickly cuts to Goob, who is exploring a honeycomb-like maze to find the exit.

Goob: Hello… anyone? I might need a little… help here?-

Twisted Toodles growls at Goob, startling the fluffy craft

Goob: GAH, GET AWAY GET AWAY GET AWAY!

Goob quickly hides behind a wall, shaking Twisted Toodles off him.

Goob: Phew…

Goob finds a station giving him an extra three minutes

Goob: Don’t mind if I do! (gets his extra time and runs off)

Meanwhile, Spectra and Bassie are shoving coal into the furnace like it’s their last day on Gardenview. Spectra’s furnace lights up first, indicating that she can leave early.

Bassie: NOT ON MY WATCH! (throws coal onto Spectra)

Spectra falls onto the floor, as Bassie’s furnace lights up. Bassie purposefully tramples Spectra (and jumps on her) before leaving for the next floor.

Spectra: Oh, you’ve got a LOT of nerve, Bassie… a LOT OF NERVE!

Spectra quickly follows Bassie, despite her injuries.

Bassie arrives at the honeycomb maze.

Bassie: Ok… is there… any twist hidden?… Oh well!

Bassie tries to find an escape… and gets ambushed by Twisted Cocoa. Twisted Cocoa jumps repeatedly on Bassie as she screams for help

CONFESSIONAL:

Bassie: Hahah… ahahah… (screams)

Spectra flips Bassie off as she continues getting savagely beaten up by Twisted Cocoa.

Spectra: Heh, too bad I have higher stealth than you, nothing burger-

Bassie: Oh really?… Take THIS!

Bassie throws Twisted Cocoa onto Spectra and hides quickly. Twisted Cocoa locks in on Spectra and punches her face repeatedly

Bassie: HAHAH, see you never, SUCKER!

Spectra: YOU [censored], I HATE YOU I HATE YOU I HATE YOU I HATE YOU!

Bassie giggles… as Twisted Toodles growls at her and bites her face.

Bassie: OW… JUST… GET OFF ME YOU VILE TODDLER!

Goob tries to sneak past Bassie… as Twisted Toodles jumps onto Goob instead, punching his head repeatedly

Goob: OW… OW OW OW OW OW-

Bassie: Heehee, thanks Goob!

Goob: NO… OW-… PROBLEM!

Goob throws Twisted Toodles away as he rushes further into the maze… trips on a wire and finds the "exit"

Goob: IS THAT…

The camera zooms into the "exit", as Goob excitedly runs towards it like someone seeing their long-lost relative for the first time in years… it’s a painted brick wall.

Goob: Ow… that’s NOT an exit!

Goob immediately turns around from the not-exit and flees… Spectra finds the not-exit, while trying to shake Twisted Cocoa off her back

Spectra: GET OFF ME, YOU DEFORMED CHOCOLATE BUNNY!

Twisted Cocoa bites Spectra’s head.

Spectra: GAH, YOU VILE CREATURE, I’LL HAVE YOU KNOW, I’M DONE WITH YOUR INCESSANT BITING HABITS, so TA-TA! I’M OUT OF HERE!

Spectra rams into the not-exit… and fails.

Spectra:…Hold on… THE EXIT’S NOT WORKING-

Twisted Cocoa continues attacking Spectra at the not-exit.

Meanwhile, Goob finds the real exit with Twisted Toodles on his tail… Goob quickly leaps into the exit and blocks the door with a nearby box. Bassie runs over.

Bassie: Hey, Goob… mind if you… unblock the exit… for me?

Goob:…Sure, why not!

Goob pushes the box away, as Bassie steps on his feet and runs for the next floor

Bassie: THANK YOU!

Goob: Ouch… ow…

Spectra rushes through the exit, causing Goob to spin and topple over like a Beyblade.

Bassie and Spectra race each other to the next floor: A mountain biking trail with six bicycles. Rodger is helping to man the challenge

Rodger: Hello! You’ll have to race through this course on a bicycle of your choice. Three of them are broken… and once you choose your bicycle… you have to stick with it-

Bassie and Spectra both hop on broken bicycles… forcing them to dismount and push.

Spectra: NOOO… WHY?!

Bassie hits Spectra with her bicycle, resulting in a catfight. Goob quickly cycles past the two, prompting them to run after him.

Goob: Haha… this challenge is fun- (hits a ceiling) OW!

Goob falls onto the dirt track, as Bassie and Spectra overtake him. Goob gets up and hops on his bicycle… and overtakes them again… crashing into the exit and making a run for it.

Meanwhile, June is waiting for the finalists in her floor. It is decorated pink and yellow, with bright lights and a screen where the fans can watch the ordeal live.

June: Come on… Where are they?

Goob, Bassie and Spectra quickly spill into June’s floor and stand on stands with buttons in them. Fans can be seen cheering for them.

June: Welcome, WELCOME, to MY VERY OWN GAMESHOW! I’ll ask you a question and if you can get it correctly, you may pass. First Toon to get a correct answer… gets a minute of extra-

Spectra: Yeah yeah, GET ON WITH THE CHALLENGE ALREADY.

June: Alright… First question: When is the NES made?

Goob, Bassie and Spectra quickly press their buzzers

Goob: 1982!

Bassie: 1983!

Spectra: 1984!

June:…Bassie gets this question right and can move on!

Bassie: YES!

June: But… before you go… take this extra minute!

Bassie goes to the station to collect her extra minute and quickly leaves…

Bassie enters a dark room. It is pitch-black with dimly lit lights on the walls. Twisteds can be heard growling inside… before the camera zooms out to the eliminated contestants again.

Darksion: Hold on… I asked for ALL Twisteds.

Lance: Mweheheheheh…

Darksion frowns at Lance, who sticks out his tongue.

The camera quickly cuts back to Bassie, who steadily tiptoes through Darksion’s floor… Bassie gets attacked by two Twisted Pebbles at once… who appear to be playing table tennis with each other.

Meanwhile, Goob and Spectra are still on June’s show.

Goob: August 2nd, 1776!

Spectra: August 2nd, 1776!

June: Both of you… are CORRECT! You may pass!

Goob and Spectra high-five each other and rush into the hallways to the next floor… where they have to silently walk past the numerous amount of Twisteds.

Spectra: I go this way… you go that way!

Goob nods.

Goob and Spectra split up to find the exit.

Spectra: This is… completely fine! Ahaha…

Spectra chances on the two Twisted Pebbles flinging Bassie onto each other… and giggles.

Bassie: Uhh… a LITTLE HELP HERE… oh. It’s you.

Spectra: Heehee, good luck Bassie!-

Twisted Lightning breathes onto Spectra… and pins her to the ground.

Spectra: GAH, GET OFF ME YOU THUNDERHEAD!

Goob gets chased by various Main Character Twisteds… and gives himself an extra one minute and thirty seconds… and finds the exit

Goob: HEY GUYS! THE EXIT! RIGHT HERE!

Spectra: Wait, REALLY?!-

Twisted Lightning jumps on Spectra’s head.

Spectra: OW!

CONFESSIONAL:

Spectra can be seen without teeth.

Spectra: (weird voice) Are my teeth ok? I hope so!

Spectra fights off Twisted Lightning and makes a run for it… Twisted Lightning makes chase… and locks onto Bassie instead.

Bassie: I HATE THIS, GAH!

Bassie gets dogpiled as Spectra blows raspberry at her and leaves for the next floor.

Spectra and Goob tiredly arrives at at the next floor… an empty dining room with a locked door. Dummies can be found everywhere, while a silhouette of a dead Toon is drawn on the floor.

Goob: Hmm… what should I pick…

Goob randomly picks up a hammer and throws it at a random dummy somewhere in the room, causing the door to unlock and open itself

Spectra: THE DOOR! IT’S OPEN!

Goob and Spectra run for the door and slams it… while Bassie, exhausted… leans on a wall… wait no, a station giving her five extra minutes

Bassie: YES… yes yes yes YES!

Spectra and Goob tiredly arrive at the next floor, a Christmas Cabin with one large conveyor belt. There are two pits, one with toys and another with coal. Lightning appears in front of them, facing away from the locked door.

Lightning: LISTEN UP, FINALISTS! Lightning’s sha-put you in charge of packing all the gifts to the kids this holiday-

Goob: Dude, it’s summer-

Lightning: Oh, does Lightning sha-give a damn?

Goob: Uhh-

Lightning: NO. Now, each present will be green or red. Good kids get the green presents, sha-naughty kids get red. Anyways, START PACKING!

Goob and Spectra run back and forth with lots of coal and toys… and quickly fit them into the presents.

Goob: Well uhh… can you please let us go? We’ve got a million tapes to win.

Lightning: Hahah… no.

Spectra slaps her face… while Bassie tauntingly waves at Lightning from a station giving thirty seconds.

Lightning: NO… don’t you dare.

Bassie gives herself thirty minutes.

Lightning: UGH, FINE… but PACK THE TOYS!

Spectra, Bassie and Goob, unamused, pack toys and coal into the presents, while Lightning watches all three of them like a hawk… Spectra picks up Pebble from the pit of coal.

Spectra: Hey, Lightning! Pebble wants to play with you!

Pebble waves at Lightning.

Lightning: (gasps) PEBS! Get over here, boy!

Pebble leaps onto Lightning and tackles him. The finalists sneak past the distracted Lightning and scout the entire floor for a key

Goob: Not here…

Spectra: Not in the coffee mugs…

Bassie: Uhh… not in the chandelier-

Goob: HOW DID YOU GET ON TOP THE CHANDELIER?!

Bassie: Uhm… magic!

Goob finds the key on a coatrack

Goob: GUYS, THE KEY!

Bassie: Cool… now GIMME IT-

Goob: Too late!

Goob uses the key to unlock the door, allowing him and his fellow finalists to escape.

Lightning: Aww… you’re the best… BESTEST Toon here, Pebs… other than Lightning!… and Bobette. Anyways… where did they go?

Goob, Bassie and Spectra enter a dark forest… Gourdy is greeting them

Gourdy: Hi, guys…

Goob: COME HERE, GOURDY!

Goob hugs Gourdy tightly.

Gourdy: Well… big bro’s helped hunt down some steak for us… but our fire ran out. So…

Goob starts a fire immediately, and runs for some steak… while Bassie and Spectra run into the wilderness to fight each other.

Gourdy: So… these two would find firewood for us?

Goob: Hm… I suppose!

Fiyero waves at Gourdy and Goob… Gourdy hugs the former, as he… awkwardly waves at them.

Fiyero: So… you guys have to cook some really delicious steak, and if it’s good enough… you can go.

Goob: Awesome!

Bassie and Spectra fight each other with wooden sticks they found… Bassie lunges at Spectra and hits her in the chest. Spectra retaliates by spin-kicking Bassie in the face. Bassie yelps in pain… and leaps onto Spectra-

Meanwhile, Goob is sitting next to Gourdy while enjoying the quickly made steaks.

Gourdy: Woah… how did you make steak this fast?

Goob: Easy! I placed the steaks in the fire for… exactly twenty seconds!

Gourdy: Hmm… this is… really, really awesome! You can go!

Fiyero:…As for Spectra and Bassie…-

A beeping noise can be heard in the background.

Fiyero: This… is bad.

Goob: What… bad?

Fiyero: Basically, someone’s ran out of time.

Gourdy: And when that happens…

The camera quickly pans towards Spectra… Spectra’s wristband stops beeping as she flops onto the floor. Bassie puts one foot on her head, as if she’s slain a creature… before returning to the three.

Gourdy:…She gets tranquillised.

Goob: Uh oh… well, time to go!

Goob rushes for the exit. Meanwhile, Bassie tiredly walks over to the campsite.

Bassie: What did I miss…

Fiyero:…Steak.

Bassie: Oh… so… I cook it-

Fiyero: I really want to throw you into the fire for what you did to Jon, but I’m not doing it-

Bassie stomps on Gourdy’s tail in anger. Gourdy screams in pain.

The camera quickly pans towards Dandy and Dyle… with the eliminated contestants.

Dandy: Spectra is officially OUT of the game! (Bassie and Goob reappear in different panels) With only Goob and Bassie, remaining, who will win the season? Any takers from team Bassie… anyone?

Toodles flips Dandy off.

Dandy: Oh… well…

The camera quickly cuts to Goob and Bassie, who are trying to escape a movie theatre. Vivo plays in the background… before cutting off and showing the number 9.

Goob: Uh… huh?

The movie starts playing again… confusing Bassie and Goob. Bassie has already taken apart half the chairs… while Goob gives himself one extra minute at a station near a corner. Bassie takes out the seat 39… and jumps in.

Goob: Huh… where’s Bassie?

Bassie quickly emerges from a graveyard… right in front of a tombstone:

One of us spells your victory, the other impending doom

Bassie: Ok…

Bassie digs through every single grave… before Goob emerges from the entrance and looks for the grave too. Goob finds the entrance to the next floor… and jumps in. Bassie quickly follows suit.

Bassie and Goob fall onto a tall tower… with the million tapes on it. Dandy is waving at them.

Dandy: Welcome, final two… to your very last hurdle… the Tower of Regret! It is all based on your worst fears and insecurities… so, good luck!

Bassie gets irked by the Cocoa plushies scattered everywhere, and tip-toes through them. Goob hears Jonathan’s voice from a nearby speaker…

Bassie (from the speakers): Don’t you see… I was the one that burnt everyone during the Bingo challenge… and punctured the tires in the mountain challenge?

Jonathan (from the speakers): WAIT, IT WAS YOU THE ENTIRE TIME?!

Bassie (from the speakers): Yes!… and no one else has a clue about it… Just the two of us.

Jonathan (from the speakers): THEN…

A punch can be heard, as Jonathan’s screams can be heard. Goob breaks down and cries, kneeling down.

Goob: I… I…

Jonathan (from afar): YOU GOT THIS, GOOB… I… I BELIEVE IN YOU-

Goob: Bassie… she… THAT’S IT. SHE’S NOT GOING TO WIN ON MY WATCH-

Dandy: Well, that took a weird turn of events.

Goob runs through the Tower of Regret, avoiding jack in the boxes with Shrimpo on it, and sample exam papers Goob did, all marked F-

Meanwhile, Bassie starts to cackle in insanity, crawling through the Tower… and dodging obstacles like a Twisted…

Goob and Bassie can be seen in separate panels, moving through the Tower as fast as possible. Goob looks determined, and pissed… while Bassie is starting to lose her mind.

Bassie makes it to the top, to the disappointment of everyone… she sees the photos of every elimianted contestant, and quivers… cackling. A button can be seen in front of Bassie.

Bassie: Hahah… that’s… Those guys… I… I- HAHA…

Bassie runs for the button but Goob quickly hugs her, holding her back

Goob: NOT, ON MY WATCH, BASSIE!

Bassie kicks Goob in the groin

Bassie: Oh, looks like someone wants another fight?

Goob: Uhh… no?

Bassie: Look, you’ve already lost, Goob. Maybe instead of wallowing over your stupid boyfriend, you should’ve raced up. Face it, you’re never going to be competent enough to even DESERVE a spot in the finale, let alone win!

Goob: Well, maybe you shouldn’t have monologued about how unworthy I am of the million tapes!

Bassie: No, DON’T YOU PRESS THAT BUTTON-

Goob: Yeah… I need the million tapes (presses the button)

The million tapes fall through a hatch… onto a hapless Scraps, while the floor around them rises up, suddenly.

Bassie: WHAT HAVE YOU DONE?!

Goob: I… I DON’T KNOW?

Bassie leaps onto Goob, and beats him up savagely… Goob winces in pain… as the platform emerges in front of the eliminated contestants.

Dyle (to walkie-talkie): Uhh, Dandicus, we really… need to do something about Bassie-

Dandy appears on another panel.

Dandy (to walkie-talkie): Pfft, no biggie! Plus, this fight is going to give us better. Ratings!

Dandy’s panel slides away, leaving behind a disappointed Dyle.

Bassie: If I DON’T GET THE MILLION TAPES, NO ONE WILL.

Dyle: Looks like GOOB’S OUR SECOND MILLION TAPE WINNER!

Everyone cheers… while Jonathan walks over to Bassie and picks her up. Rubix is holding Jonathan up.

Jonathan: LET. IT. GO.

Bassie: I… WAS ROBBED… OF THE MILLION… (growls)

Jonathan: Hah, robbed? Maybe, if you didn’t do any bad moves this season, maybe YOU could’ve stood a chance… but NO! You decided to GO full psycho mode and lash out at EVERYONE. Was it, worth it, Bassie? Was it worth being a terrible person, just for fifteen minutes of fame?

Bassie: I… I’LL HAVE YOU KNOW, THAT I’M A GOOD PERSON! UGH!

The camera quickly cuts to the Projector Room. Goob is hugging Jonathan and the million tapes.

Dandy: Congratulations, Goob… You have braved waterslides, deadly Twisteds… and now the winner of our second million tape prize!

Goob: WOOHOO! I couldn’t… have done it without all my friends, Scraps…

Scraps gives her brother a thumbs up, jumping for joy…

Goob: AND MY BOYFRIEND!

Jonathan: Come here, Goob!

Goob kisses Jonathan in the cheek.

Dandy: So, any plans… for your first date?

Jonathan: It’s simple… really! A movie night, followed by lots and lots of camping! Hey, you should hang out with us more often, it’ll be epic!

Goob: Well… sure!

Scraps: Count me in, guys!

Jonathan: AWESOME! (brings Scraps in)

Bassie sulks in the corner.

Dandy: Well, we have reached the long-awaited end of the Million Tape Game! As always, I’m Dandy Dancifer, your glorious host… and this WAS the Million Tape Game 2: Distractors VS Extractors… now, everyone ready for the selfie?

Everyone, including Bassie, huddle up in front of the million tapes. Bassie tries to take one tape, but Jonathan slaps Bassie’s hand away…

Dyle: Ready… 3… 2… 1… CHEESE!

Dyle takes a photo, as the selfie can be seen on Dyle’s desk.

FINAL CONFESSIONAL:

Goob: OH MY GOD, THIS IS… THIS IS THE BEST DAY OF MY LIFE, EEEEEEE!

Jonathan: I’m… so proud of you, babe!

Scraps: Well, if there’s one thing I know… my little bro can do anything!

Goob: Aww… thanks guys!

Goob brings Jonathan and Scraps for a hug… one of family, and of sheer happy sunshine rainbows

FINAL CONFESSIONAL:

Spectra: Honestly… a little disappointed I couldn’t rub it onto Bassie about her loss… but whatever! I never thought I’d make a few friends, but I did! Huh, maybe this show isn’t so bad after all.

The camera quickly pans to Bassie and Darksion

Bassie: Look… I… I…

Darksion: Don’t talk to me.

Bassie: But… I…

Darksion: LOOK, maybe I have manipulated Toons, maybe I was slightly mean, but you… YOU MONSTER… you’ve attacked your own friends, EVERYTHING… I’m saying this as your ally and friend, but YOU… YOU HAVE CROSSED THE LINE.

Bassie: Well… I… uhh… BOLD COMING FROM SOMEONE WHO TRIED TO KILL DANDY OVER AND OVER AGAIN.

Darksion: Well, I do hate Dandy… but at least I LEARNT… I CHANGED! I’m not the homicidal freak I was… but YOU… YOU BASE YOUR ENTIRE REALITY AND MINDSET… ON BEING A "MAIN CHARACTER" TOON, huh?!

Bassie: I… but…

Darksion: You thought this show will get you the attention, the likes you need? Well, GUESS WHAT?! YOU THREW ALL THAT AWAY! Now all of Gardenview knows that you’re willing to HARM YOUR FRIENDS… just so that you can have something special to add to your name. Simply put, you’re a bad person.

Bassie: But… I… I SEE MYSELF AS… (cries) A GOOD PERSON-

Darksion: Well, go ahead, rewatch every episode you were in and say otherwise.

Bassie:…YOU MADE ME LIKE THIS! IF NOT FOR YOUR STUPID ALLIANCE, I WOULDN’T HAVE TURNED INTO A MONSTER.

Darksion: I only taught you how to play your friends like a fiddle. YOU went the extra mile and hurt them. Did I teach you to do that?

Bassie: But… BUT-… FINE, WHATEVER… STAY MAD. I DON’T CARE!

Darksion: I’m not mad… I’m just disappointed-

Lance: Elevator’s here!

Darksion runs over to Molly and hugs her. Lance and Raihan share a fist bump and hug each other. Goob, Scraps and Jonathan wave at everyone while heading back to their room to relax. Spectra and Rubix hold each others hands, look at each other… and decides to (somehow) go on a run. As all the other Toons leave, Bassie stands at the Elevator of Shame… lonely.

Cocoa: Would you like a bonbon-

Bassie screams at Cocoa and flips her off, storming back into her room.

Chapter Text

Bassie walks through Gardenview, feeling lonelier than ever. Flutter and Connie giggle with each other… Bassie waves at them, but Connie gives Bassie the disapproving look.

Bassie looks at herself from Sprout’s diner… as Lightning awkwardly flirts with Bobette, trying to get her attention. Bobette giggles a little, and rubs Lightning’s head. Lightning giggles and jumps for joy… while Bassie watches the two… about to break into tears. Everywhere Bassie went, all her fellow contestants seemed… happier than her. Spectra and Rubix laughing over drinks, Lance and Raihan playing video games with each other… and Jonathan and Goob’s first date outdoors. Bassie looks at herself at Glisten’s mirror… finally realising the monster she had become.

FINAL CONFESSIONAL:

Bassie: Looking… back… I… I definitely didn’t deserve to win… I-I’ve done so… SO many horrible things to everyone… swapping Bobette’s Idol with a decoy, stealing evereyone’s stuff to eliminate Rodger and Bobette… I… even destroyed Connie’s boat… and Jonathan… I… I… (cries) I’m… I’m so sorry…

Two and a half months pass. Jonathan and Goob are running away from Twisted Pebble in the woods.

Goob: WHAT DO WE DO?!

Jonathan: I got this.

Jonathan sets up a trap that slows down Twisted Pebble… but it’s no use.

Goob: IT’S STILL AFTER US-

Raihan: I GOT THIS-

Raihan tackles Twisted Pebble, causing it to collide onto a tree.

Lance (from afar): THAT’S MY BIG BRO!

Raihan finger-guns Lance… as they reunite at the campsite… a scarecrow had already been set up to ward any nearby Twisteds away.

Fiyero: So… how have you two been up to?

Goob: Nothing much, we’ve decided to start small at first…

Scraps: Honestly, it’s been quite a while since Dandy called…

Goob: Wasn’t there about a… two month break before he called you back for season 2?

Scraps: Oh… well…

Goob: Ehh… let’s not think about it… that much-

Raihan gets a call

Raihan: OH MY GOD, JUST- (hangs up)

Lance: What was that?

Raihan: Hahah… probably just… a prank call! Nothing much-

The call returns again. Sighing, Raihan picks up the call, resigned.

Raihan: Raihan Celdrus here, WHAT DO YOU WANT?!

Dandy appears on a separate panel.

Dandy: Oh… well, I’d like to have a chat with… a friend of yours?… Jonathan?

Raihan: (mutters to self) Jesus Christ, that flower’s annoying (to Jonathan) Dandy wants to call you, Jon.

Raihan passes his phone to Jonathan

Jonathan: Hey, Dandy…

Dandy: Jonathan, there you are! I just wanted to say, congratulations on making it this far on season 2!… Dyle and I just wanted to let you know… that YOU AND YOUR BOYFRIEND QUALIFY FOR SEASON 3!

Jonathan: HOLD ON, WHAT?!

Lance: What about me?

Jonathan: Yeah, what about Lance?

Dandy: Ehh… Lance didn’t make it far enough in his second shot… so…

Lance: DANG IT!

Dandy: Anyways… bye!

Jonathan’s panel pans away, as Dandy faces the camera

Dandy: There you have it, we have officially announced our third, BIGGEST SEASON YET! Will Goob or Jonathan win next season? (gasps) Who will also return for a second shot at a million tapes?… or third? Find out… next time, on the Million Tape Game 3: ALL-STARS!
