User:SemiNova/2BC 1 - Once Upon An Extra Life

Belcome Wack!
We open up to the roads of Vantwover. ''The cars are moving, the lights are flashing...and then a large-ass bus ruins everything. Its running over everything, purposely not following traffic laws...It's ruining everything. Of course, inside of it are the 9 veterans of TBC. They aren't really helping anything, though we cut to Weird Paintbrushy and Potted Plant, specifically.''

Pot: Ugh, I was hoping the ride wouldn't be so...bumpy! Especially for Seed here!

Weird Paintbrushy: Hmm, indeed. I personally was hoping Beach Ball would compete, but I am happy to see you here..

Pot: I think Lenny would've been a great friend to have!

Weird Paintbrushy: Lenny's still getting checks from Peaflipper. Pretty sure he's made far more cash than any of us.

Pot: ...I guess you have a--Oh!

A speedbump knocks Plant out of Pot for a little bit.

Plant: Yikes! Couldn't we have picked a better bus? Or maybe even a better bus driver?!

Pot: What's wrong with Carlos? He--

Plant: Pot, buddy, I'ma stop you right there. EVERYTHING is wrong with Carlos!

Weird Paintbrushy: She does have a point. Mr. Carlos, are you sure you should be driving?

Carlos: Sure? Of course I'm sure! You know how many people I've killed while on the road?

???: I dunno, about 50?

''In the seat right behind Carlos lies, Pan. Sitting by herself, only checking her phone.''

Carlos: ...Triple that. Maybe add another 50 for good measure.

Pan: Yes. This, ladies and gentleman, is why this show is a death trap.

Carlos: Listen, just because I have over 200 confirmed cases of vehicular assault doesn't mean I ain't a good driver! If anything, it proves I'm great at it!

Pan: But the real question is, how many times have you crashed said "vehicles"?

Carlos: I plead the 200th.

''Pan rolls her eyes and goes back to her book. We zoom out to Styrofoam Cup and File Folder. Styro's seat is covered in trash, which File Folder just absolutely loves.''

File Folder: Don't you have...anything? A trash can for instance?

Styrofoam Cup: Meh. If I just throw my trash into my backpack, then I'd eventually put some out. And I do not want to eat another wrapper.

Styrofoam Cup unwraps another candy bar, and throws the wrapper at File Folder.

File Folder: why must you be this way.

Styrofoam Cup: Don't see what's wrong here. I threw my trash at RCC on the first bus, and he isn't complaining.

File Folder: Because RCC is...Oh, what's the word...

Styrofoam Cup: Rotten?

File Folder: Yes! No idea why that didn't come to my mind...

''As File Folder says that, Styrofoam Cup's wrapper can be seen slightly falling into him. Zooms to the seat in front of them, with Blender and Christmas Pudding. CP is humming a merry tune.''

Blender: Please stop.

Christmas Pudding: Oh? Do you not like my humming?

Blender: You've been humming the same tune for over an hour now. Please stop.

Christmas Pudding: But...I'm so super duper happy to be back! With all of my friends!

Blender: Sure, whatever you say.

Christmas Pudding: Of course, the only way to express being together with friends is through song! And, well, I prefer humming! Though--

''Christmas Pudding's voice drowns out into nothingness as Blender holds up his head in annoyance. And just like that, we're onto our last set. Magic Hat and RCC, doing a little card trick.''

Magic Hat: And is THIS your card!?

Magic Hat pulls out an Ace from her deck...which is secretly only Aces.

Rotten Cotton Candy: Ugh, no. I thought you could do, like, actual magic. Not this lazy cheap crap.

Magic Hat: Yeah, no. The Magnificence's magic is more simple party tricks, but her friend Cat Squishy is the real magician!

Rotten Cotton Candy: Then why are you here and not her? Seems like it should be a pretty good split.

Magic Hat: Excuse me? I am a Magnificent Magician! While my abilities may not be as "cool" as Cat Squishy's, they take just as much skill to master, which the most marvelous did when she was only a pre-teen! I absolutely deserve my spot here!

Rotten Cotton Candy: Shut up already. If you wanna prove your "magni-"whatever, how about you actually show it?

Magic Hat: ...In fact, I will!

Magic Hat stands back.

Magic Hat: I present to you all...Pulling a rabbit...out of my hat!

''Magic Hat dives her hand into herself, and tries to grab Zippy. He ends up jumping out, and hops all over the bus.''

Magic Hat: Wait, Zippy! Get over here!

Rotten Cotton Candy: Wow. I thought you were bad, but not this bad.

Magic Hat: i hate you.

''As Zippy hops around the bus, we get to see him torment everyone on the bus. He knocks all of Styro's trash onto File Folder, knocks CP into Blender's arms, knock into Weird Paintbrushy, who knocks Plant out and right next to Pan, and finally obscures Carlos' vision.''

Carlos: GOD DAMMIT, SOMEONE MOVE THIS RABBIT BEFORE I CRASH!

Magic Hat: Zippy, get back here!

Pan: Well, this is how we die, I guess.

Pan throws confetti and silently says "Yayyyyyyyy".

Blender: Great. I guess I'm going to hell again.

Christmas Pudding: Oh dear! I hope Godrilla doesn't get mad at me!

Pot: Plant?! Where are you Plant?! Oh god, I hope you didn't fall out of the bus...

Plant: I'm right here, dodohead!

Weird Paintbrushy: Unfortunate, I feel like Plant would've been a valuable ally.

Plant: STOP IGNORING ME I'M RIGHT BEHIND YOU!

Styrofoam Cup: Oh no, we're all going to die aaaaa ''hey file folder you see that candy bar next to you? give me it please?''

''File Folder is passed out. Carlos hits another speedbump and all the contestants bundle together.''

Carlos: HANG ON, MORONS. WE'RE GOING FOR A CRASH LANDING!

Carlos hangs onto the wheel as the bus begins to steer uncontrollably, meanwhile all the contestants scream (minus RCC).

Magic Hat: This is all your fault, you know?

Rotten Cotton Candy: Whatever.

''The bus finally crashes right in front of Hamster Family studios. Carlos opens the roof, and the contestants all get out.''

Carlos: First crash in a solid 5 months! You kids are a death sentence!

Carlos hops out, as the other 9 attempt to get out.

Pan: Well, great. How are we supposed to get to the show now?

???: You're already there!

The 9 contestants look at...a strange robot character.

Rotten Cotton Candy: Oh great. A robot.

Magic Hat: A robot host? Oh, great. I prefer Peaflipper already. At least he showed up in person!

Christmas Pudding: I'm sure this host will be fun in their own way!

Suddenly, the robot's screen turns on, with a Hamster character displayed on it.

???: Hiya, everyone! Sorry about that, I'm still getting used to controlling this thing.

Blender: Wait, what?

???: Yeah, you see, I got this as a gift! It's my way to interact with you, lovelies!

Plant: Can't you just...I don't know, actually speak to us without the huge hunk of machine?!

???: Oh, heavens no! Do you know what you guys would do to me? You could kill me and the prize would be yours! I'm far too fragile for that!

Weird Paintbrushy: Oh, don't worry, dear. I'm sure none of us would--

WP looks up, only to see exaggerated and threatening versions of Blender, Plant, and Styrofoam Cup.

Weird Paintbrushy: ...Nevermind.

???: Yup! Sorry about this, but it's for my own good!

As the host finishes her speech, Carlos can be seen trying to sneak out.

???: Oh, Carlos! Did you come to help us out with the show?

Carlos: god dammit.

Carlos comes back.

Styrofoam Cup: Wait, you two know each other?

Carlos: I owe her family a favor.

???: Glad to see you again! I needed a chef since...I'm not a very good cook.

Pan: So we're back to eating under him again? Great...

Styrofoam Cup: Fine by me. What about you, Filesy?

File Folder is still knocked out.

???: Well! No point in dragging it out anymore! 9 veterans, many upcoming newbies...I'm your host, Lynn, and this is Two Be Continued!

Meeting the newbies!
''We cut to a while later. The bus has been moved, and now the contestants stand again in front of the gate.''

Blender: ...What are you doing?

Lynn: The newcomers are arriving, and I gotta greet them properly before we start the next challenge! It's what Clinko did, after all!

Pan: Are you really taking show advice from a chicken? You know what---

Carlos: Don't spoil CBT 14. None of them have seen it yet.

Styrofoam Cup: Wait, if you're here, then who's driving all of those--

''The next bus crashes into the first bus, with a robot flying out of it. Suddenly, the door bursts open, with smoke pouring out of it. In the shadows seem to be the shadows of 1 new contestants, who seem to be eager to be in the competition. Out of all of them, Seesaw seems to be the first one to step ou-''

Seesaw: Oof!

''Oh. Seesaw's bar seems to have gotten stuck on the doorframe, leaving everyone in the bus stuck. Lynn rolls forward to greet the contestant.''

Lynn: Greetings contestant! My name is Lynn, and welcome to Two Be Continued!

...

Lynn rolls over to the bus.

Lynn: Seesaw?

Seesaw: I'm stuck.

Lynn: Oh. Uh...Hey, Carlos? Can you help me out here?

Carlos: Already using helper privileges, I see. Whatever, I'm getting paid better than I did with Monty's.

''Carlos and Lynn try to pull Seesaw out of the bus. Blender and Christmas Pudding just stare in confusion.''

Blender: Are they seriously...

Christmas Pudding: I hope they rescue that poor young lady!

Seesaw finally pops out.

Seesaw: I'm out!

Seesaw runs over to the other contestants.

Seesaw: Hey guys. My name is Seesaw!

''Seesaw holds her hand out to shake it with Rotten Cotton Candy. He refuses to move.''

Seesaw: Uhhh...?

Rotten Cotton Candy: What?

Weird Paintbrushy runs over to Seesaw.

''Weird Paintbrushy: Hey now! It is only fair we introduce ourselves to the new character, right, Rotten Cotton?''

Rotten Cotton Candy: No. Not really.

Weird Paintbrushy: Just come over here, and I'll introduce you to the crew!

Seesaw: Alright!

''After Seesaw leaves, a much more glamorous bus appears, with a taller shadow appearing from the door. Feathery exits the bus complaining a bit''

Feathery: Ugh. First riding that cursed bus. Now, having to show up without lights and a big sign with my name on it!

All the veterans and Seesaw are quiet looking at Feathery

Lynn: Welcome to the show! Let me help you down.

''Lynn's robot helps Feathery get off the bus. As he gets off, he wipes his hand with which he touched the robot''

Feathery: Let me introduce myself: I'm Feathery, the famous, beloved and beautiful theater actor. Brother of that dumb ass of Flamingo Plush. Butterscotch's number one riv-

Lynn: Huh? Did you work with Butterscotch? I'm a fan of hers and I didn't know that...

Styrofoam Cup: WOW! Get a load of this guy!

Rotten Cotton Candy: Yes, pfth. I'm sure he's lying to get atten-

Feathery slowly turns around to see RCC

Rotten Cotton Candy: -tion ... Heh, I...

Feathery slowly approaches RCC, speaking to him

Feathery: Listen, you fat and dirty piece of candy. Do you think I didn't see you on TBC, on the show? I'm sure that while I was hired to be here. They brought you here because they feel sorry for you, because you were one of the first eliminated, to give another chance to the poor chubby bum who never did anything in his life and thinks he can get it all without doing anything.

Rotten Cotton Candy: ... I-I was just saying...

''RCC wipes one of his eyes with a (used) handkerchief from Styrofoam Cup. Meanwhile, Plant whispers to Pot''

Plant: Ish, we definitely don't want that guy on our team. Who he thinks he is? a major celebrity or something?

Pot: I mean... It seems like he thinks he is the center of the world, but I don't think he's that bad! ...I hope.

Christmas Pudding: Yeah! Plus, he seems very very nice!

Plant: ...Are you a moron or a complete dunce?

''Scene cuts to a few minutes later, over to where Seesaw is sitting, with FIle Folder (still knocked out), Weird Paintbrushy, and Potted Plant. Feathery can be seen by himself in the distance.''

Pot: And this is Plant! Seed, say hi!

Plant: Hi.

Seesaw shakes Plant head up and down.

Plant: Agh! Stop!

''A bus is heard driving off. Rose, with her suitcases, which are as tall as the gate, runs over to the four of them.''

Rose: Hello everyone! Care to help me bring my bags inside?

Weird Paintbrushy: Nah.

Rose's cheery face now turns into one of rage.

Rose: I SAID, HELP M-

Weird Paintbrushy: No.

''Rose slides offscreen. She watches the four of them interact from a distance.''

Rose, "mentally": Hm...the threatening strategy always seem to work at home, maybe if I-

Rotten Cotton Candy: You're talking out loud. I heard all of that.

Scene pans slightly to the left to reveal RCC laying face down on the ground.

Rose: Ew. Anyways, wanna be my ally?

Rotten Cotton Candy: Sure.

Rose: Yay! Now bring my bags inside!

Rotten Cotton Candy: ...

Rose: Get up at least. You're gonna get sick.

Rotten Cotton Candy: ...

''A seemingly discolored bus comes out next. A red-orange rectangular object steps out from the bus.''

Lava Tile: Move along, freaks. Sheesh, it shouldn't take five minutes to get off a bus.

Weird Paintbrushy: Flowing lava encapsulated into a rectangular shape? How interesting.

File Folder, seemingly haven woken up from the Trash Coma, pops up behind Weird Paintbrushy.

File Folder: Huh, did it just get hot around here?

Lava Tile: A-

Lava Tile pauses and turns her head towards File Folder.

Lava Tile: Excuse me?

File Folder: W-wait, no, not at all like that! Ack, I'm sorry!

Lava Tile: Hmph. Consider a better choice of words, pal.

Lava Tile makes her way away from the objects and commotion.

File Folder: (Well, really, how else am I supposed to say it?)

Weird Paintbrushy: Well, File Folder. I didn't think you were the type to be romantic immediately.

File Folder: T-That isn't what I meant!

The next bus arrives, and a red jagged object jumps off and runs toward the crowd, before slowing to a stop to admire the building.

Arrowhead: Woahhh, this place looks so cool!

Lynn: Glad you like it here, Arrowhead! Welcome to the show!

Arrowhead: My first competition show, this is gonna be so much fun!

Lynn: What a lively attitude. I think you'll fit in just fine.

Christmas Pudding: Hi there!

Arrowhead quickly spins around towards her.

Arrowhead: HimynameisArrowheadit'sapleasuretomeetyou!

Christmas Pudding: Woah...That was so super quick! Nice to meet you too!

Arrowhead: Yep, I’m just super pumped like always, heh. I wanna go check out more stuff, catch ya later!

Arrowhead gleefully skips through the rest of the crowd. ''The next bus comes around and drops Ushanka off. Ushanka has a small duffel bag which they try to balance on their head as they walk off the bus.''

Styrofoam Cup: They have a bag? Should we have bags?

Carlos: Your bags are right there.

Carlos points to a pile of undamaged belongings that the veterans own all in a pile neatly organized on the ground.

Styrofoam Cup: what.

Ushanka: Hello friends!

...

Ushanka notices Lynn's robot just standing...in the middle of the chaos...

Ushanka: Hello Lynn!

Lynn: Ah, hello Ushanka! You seem shorter than in your profile picture.

Ushanka: Oh well, must be lighting.

Lynn: Ah. Well, just go stand with the others!

Ushanka: WAIT! I will require assistance with bags.

Lynn: Oh, erm... Carlos!

''Carlos walks over and sneezes into his hands. He then proceeds to pick manhandle Ushanka's bag as he carries it off.''

Ushanka: Eugh.

''Ushanka follows Carlos offscreen. The next bus arrives, as a detective hat can be seen investigating his surroundings.''

Detective Hat: Hmm, yes. Interesting indeed.

Lynn: Hello there! Please--

Detective Hat: Excuse me, Miss. I have something I need to look for..

Lynn: ...Huh.

Detective Hat: I’ve been looking into this place for the last couple of weeks...Tell me, Miss Robot...Is this a family operation?

Lynn: Oh! Y-Yeah, my family owns this!

Detective Hat: Hmm...tell me, Miss. Anything specific I should know about this place? While I do have my assumptions, I cannot concur a proper piece outlook of said situation... Well, I have but my theories lack the proper evidence to back them up.

Detective Hat looks behind Lynn, only to spot the other competitors staring at him in confusion.

Detective Hat: Oh, right. Where are my manners?

Detective Hat pulls out a pipe.

Detective Hat: Greetings. My name is Detective Hat, ace Detective. I was investigating a crime with my associate, Outlet, when he saw a flyer for this competition. My curiosity peaked, I decided to sign up for this competition to investigate this area. I thank you for inviting me, miss...Lynn, was it?

Lynn: Oh, uh, thanks?

''Detective Hat nods his head, and joins everyone else. He doesn’t seem to pay attention to anyone, and instead focuses on looking around the area. The next bus that arrives has a torn window, and seems to be emitting a ton of smoke.''

Vial: Couldn't I ask for a better bus?

Lynn: Sorry, Vial. Oh, but welcome to the show!

Vial: Thanks!

...

Vial: ...Am I last? Everyone seems a bit too quiet.

Weird Paintbrushy: Not to worry, File Folder embarrassed himself in front of a girl he likes...

File Folder: That's not true!

Weird Paintbrushy: Christmas Pudding is still staring at Feathery, Blender is too much of an idiot to understand whatever Detective Hat is saying, Styrofoam Cup and RCC are just talking to each other, and Potted Plant and myself are introducing ourselves to everyone. It is a pleasure to meet you!

Vial: Oh, thanks for the welcome!

Weird Paintbrushy: Come now, I'll introduce you to everyone else.

''The Two walk off. Blender is staring at them both.''

(Confessional) Blender: What does she mean I'm too dumb to understand Detective Hat!? I can understand him just fine! ...Wait where the heck am I--

The next bus comes around, and Scuba Helmet slowly makes his way out of there.

Blender: Alright, now we're talking!

Scuba Helmet: Hey, everyone. Hope I'm not too late.

Lynn: Welcome aboard Scuba Helmet! Haha, get it? Like...welcome abo--

Scuba Helmet: No need to explain, Lynn. I get it.

Lynn: Oh. Well, alright, then!

Blender slides over to Scuba Helmet and puts his arm around him.

Blender: Glad to see someone like you come around! Since GP, Limey, and the other guy I don't really remember aren't 'round, you look like a good replacement!

Scuba Helmet: Oh, uh-- I'm not that--

''Blender tries to drag Scuba Helmet away. He stares at him for a bit before letting a sigh and walking his way.''

(Confessional) Scuba Helmet: Don't really wanna get roped up in Blender and his crap, but he had some nice moments in an episode. I'm sure he'll have them again...probably.

''The next bus arrives. Frappe silently drags her bags out of the bus and immediately tries to move.''

Lynn: Frapp--

Frappe: Yeah, okay.

Frappe immediately moves over to one of the tables.

Magic Hat: Oh, hey! Welcome to the Magnificence's table!

Styrofoam Cup, who is on the table to the right, throws confetti her way.

Magic Hat: Hmm...You remind me of someone...Do I know--

Frappe: Yes. I am Milkshake's sister. I am not her, and I do not want to hear anyone compare me to her! You got that?

Magic Hat: ...

Magic Hat shrugs.

Magic Hat: I was gonna ask if you were related to Styrofoam Cup.

''Frappe rolls her eyes and pulls out her phone. A large bus painted like the color of a tennis team and with a logo on the sides arrives. Stryofoam Cup and RCC are just staring at it.''

Styrofoam Cup: Oh wow, that bus is...actually painted. Think we're getting another really famous person?  Rotten Cotton Candy: Ish, I hope not...

RCC says that while turning around, looking at Feathery.

Styrofoam Cup: Oh come on, I don't think someone as mean as that guy is coming! Who knows, maybe they'll be really cool!

The bus door opens, but nobody steps out.

Lynn: Where's the contestant?

Basketball Hoop: Up here!

''The camera pans up to Basketball Hoop. Raging applause can be heard, and an announcer's voice yells:''

Announcer: Ladies and gentlemen! Basketball Hoooooop!

''The applause only gets louder. Basketball Hoop frontflips off the bus, landing on SeeSaw, which sends a basketball on her other end flying into the air. It ricochets off an adjacent building, lands on a trampoline, and bounces through Basketball Hoop's net. Glass shattering and an explosion can be heard as the applause rages.''

The applause dies down and there's silence.

Basketball Hoop: I'm Basketball Hoop, nice to meet ya!

Lynn still looks completely horrified by the showing.

Lynn: Uh, yeah. How are you?

Basketball Hoop: Can't really complain.

While she's walking with her volleyball and her suitcase, she goes and gives Blender a high-five-

Basketball Hoop: uh-uh, good abs, baby!

Blender: Heh, thank you. I've been training a bit to beat up SOMEONE for making me lose SOMETHING.

Styrofoam Cup tries to look away while he's sweating with fear.

Basketball Hoop: What about you, big guy? You seem like someone who would be nice to team up with to compete against the other.

Scuba Helmet: Oh, uh... I don't think that would be bad.

(Confessional) Scuba Helmet: First Blender, now this tall girl. Really hope that my team isn't filled with people like them.

''The final bus arrives. It's a plain old bus, but as soon as the final competitor gets out...All the veterans gasp.''

Weird Paintbrushy: What the--

Blender: You?! Seriously?

Styrofoam Cup: Huh? How'd you get here?

Magic Hat: What illusion is this?!

Christmas Pudding: Ohh that's where you went off too!

Sockpuppet steps out of the bus, and adjusts his tie.

Sockpuppet: Yes, here I am. My apologies, everyone. I had more...important things to do when TBC was going on.

Lynn: Well, good to have you on the show, Sockpuppet!

Sockpuppet: I thank you for your enthusiasm, miss Lynn. Say...you're robot...Is it custom-made?

Lynn: Oh, yeah! Why?

Sockpuppet: Oh, nothing... I just think it suits you!

''Sockpuppet walks off to everyone else. A lot of the new contestants look at him with charm or curiousity while the veterans seem to try and ignore him.''

Lynn: Well...that's everyone! Now, let's move to Studio F-7!

Lynn rolls off, leaving the other contestants behind.

Ushanka: Do we follow or...?

Lava Tile: How great. Not even a full episode in and our hostess already abandoned us.

Sockpuppet: Oh, no worries, ladies. I'm sure she had a perfectly good reason for leaving us so early!

Weird Paintbrushy looks at Sockpuppet with a bit of suspicion, and looks back at her alliance.

Weird Paintbrushy: Okay, look. I don't care how you feel about him, we do not trust Sockpuppet under any circumstances.

Pot: Yeah...Wasn't counting on it.

File Folder: I do have to wonder what he meant by "busy during TBC?"

Carlos suddenly appears on a tour bus.

Carlos: Get in here losers, I'm guiding you there.

Pan: Yes, and what makes you think we're trusting you after you--

Carlos immediately steps on the gas pedal.

Pan: H-Hey! Get back here! I'm not walking the entire mile!

Feathery: What?! We're walking there?

Rotten Cotton Candy: You can, but me? I'm certainly not.

''RCC performs a flip and hops in the back of the Tour Bus. Most of the other competitors follow suit, pushing their way in there. The only exception is Detective Hat, who has completely ignored the situation at hand.''

Detective Hat: Hmm...Studio F-7...Since this is the gates, I'd presume we're in Studio A...In that case...

Detective Hat walks off.

Challenge Part One!
''The competitors, minus Detective Hat, are getting toured via Carlos. He speaks in an incredibly bored sounding tone.''

Carlos: And to our right, you can see where I had to chew my way out of a Theater because Lyra decided it'd be funny to pull a prank on me.

Vial: Uh, if I may ask...Who is Lyra?

Carlos: Ask about Lyra and you'll see why I have this eyepatch.

Rose: Ooh! Already being threatened on the first day. Bet you really feel alone right now don't ya?

Vial: ...What?

Rose: I mean, no need to worry, friendo! I am indeed here to look out for ya! And we could totally be alliance buddies!

Vial: Oh, sure! I wouldn't mi--

Rose immediately begins to talk in a tone that won't even disguise itself as a whisper.

Rose: And when the time comes...I will totally destroy you just to stay further ahead in the game...

Vial: ...On second thought...Sorry, not yet.

Rose: Oh...Okay! Don't worry, once you befriend a totally stellar and tubular person like me who will always be your ally--

Vial: Yeah, okay.

''Scene slides over to Arrowhead and Pan. Arrowhead is just staring wide-eyed at the studio while Pan is silently writing something in her journal.''

Arrowhead: Woahhh... It's hard to take in that THIS is where we're staying!

Pan: Yeah, and our driver is someone who crashed our bus already. I'm certain this is going to end well.

Arrowhead: Yeah! I've been dying to compete in one of these shows for a while now, and now that the slots have opened up...I'm just stoked to be here!

Pan immediately pauses for a second.

Pan: Wait...You wanted to be here?

Arrowhead: Well, yeah! Haven't you stumbled onto something you really like, and wonder what it'd be like to compete there?!

Pan: Yes...twice. And both times I was eliminated early on.

Arrowhead: Oh.

Pan: But, of course, the crybaby didn't wanna compete, and for whatever reason, Lenny said I should. And now I'm on another death trap waiting too--

''Carlos slams the brakes, knocking all the contestants out. Lynn is standing before them, with her robot dressed in a witch's robe, alongside Detective Hat.''

Detective Hat: Ah, hello everyone. I suppose you took the bus route?

Ushanka: Yes. Did you not take bus route too?

Detective Hat: I had simply done an investigation into this area. There was a shortcut route that connects Studio A with Studio G. Following that route, I can traverse through Studio G and backtrack to Studio F.

Ushanka: ...

(Confessional) Ushanka: I should have follow Detective Man...

Lynn: Hello, contestants! It's time for the first part of your challenge!

Magic Hat: Wait, are we really not having teams again?

Blender: Great. As if it wasn't hard enough keeping up with alliances.

Lava Tile: I'm cool with it.

Lynn: Oh, not at all! Our first challenge follows the world of Fantasy! If you may all step inside...

''The contestants enter Studio F-7. Inside lays a large and lush forest, complete with a few traces of monsters, chests, and fallen heroes. In the very distance, a dark and foreboding castle can be seen.''

Lynn: Here at 2BC, we believe both games and movies deserve representation! As a result, our first challenge will involve the fear of random encounters as you traverse the Missing Forest! Once you reach the Dragon's Castle, then the teams shall be decided!

Basketball Hoop: Um...question. How do we reach the Dragon's Castle?

Lynn: You mean how do you exit the forest? Well...Exiting the forest is super simple, all you need to do is follow these path turns!

''Lynn's robot stops displaying her and moves forward to a map with a guide on how to exit the forest. It's just a bunch of scribbles that mean absolutely nothing.''

Lava Tile: Oh, great. Our hostess decided our first challenge is a maze.

Lava Tile immediately stretches and walks off.

Lava Tile: You guys can have fun getting lost together, I'm going alone.

Pan: Yeah, that's the best idea. Going together just increases your chances of getting--

Styrofoam Cup grabs Pan by the handle.

Styrofoam Cup: We can use Pan to burn a path down!

Rotten Cotton Candy: Whatever. I'll just ride with you.

''Rotten Cotton Candy does another flip and becomes one of Styrofoam Cup's key items. They walk off, as we cut to Arrowhead and Frappe.''

Arrowhead: Hey, Frappe! Wanna team up?

Frappe: ...Why?

Arrowhead: Oh, well, it's just...You know...We're both---

Frappe: Are you really going to compare to her? After I told everyone not too?!

Arrowhead: Well, it's just--We could have Feathery too! I'm sure he will---

Feathery: Hello? Do I hear people in need of a leader?

Feathery slides over.

Feathery: Of course, I would be delighted to lead the two of you into a solid victory! Of course, you will need my help, after all, with your very feeble minds. I am a genius leader, I'll have you know.

Frappe and Arrowhead stare at Feathery.

Arrowhead: ...Okay, I guess. Lead the way?

''Feathery poses before walking off, Arrowhead dragging Frappe behind her. Christmas Pudding stares with total adoration.''

Christmas Pudding: Aww! I was totally right! He's super cool and he cares about the others!

Blender: He called them both idiots.

Christmas Pudding: I'm coming too!

CP runs off after the trio.

Blender: Moron...Well, what about you two? Willing to cut down a path just to be first?

Basketball Hoop: Sure, I would--

Sockpuppet: Excuse me, Basketball Hoop, was it? I would like to suggest a team-up.

Basketball Hoop: Huh?

Sockpuppet: Well, we are both tall. And I believe someone as athletic as you will certainly be a huge player within the competition.

Basketball Hoop: Really? Huh...Didn't know you saw me that way!

Sockpuppet: Oh, but it's true! I believe you and I will make a great pair, so us being on the same team is a must!

Basketball Hoop: In that case...Sure! I'm open!

Sockpuppet: Nice!

Sockpuppet walks over to Weird Paintbrushy, File Folder, and SeeSaw.

Sockpuppet: Would you three care to join us too?

File Folder: Oh, sure, I'd--

Weird Paintbrushy: No thanks. We're good.

Sockpuppet: Hmm. If you say so.

''Sockpuppet shrugs, and walks off with BB Hoop. File Folder stares at WP confused.''

File Folder: Why would you do that?

Weird Paintbrushy: It is a simple case of not trusting the other. Did you hear what he said to Basketball Hoop? He's obviously manipulating her.

Seesaw: You can tell!?

Weird Paintbrushy: Yes. I am familiar with the way people manipulate others, and I can tell he is trying that.

File Folder: Hmm...I wouldn't be so sure.

...

Seesaw: Hang on, wasn't Planted Pots with us too?

File Folder: Oh, she said something about Seedy wanting to check on something...

Seesaw: Maybe we should check it out!

File Folder: Err...No thanks. I believe it's best to leave that private.

''WP signals Filesy and SeeSaw to come with her. We cut to Rose and Vial, listening in behind the bushes.''

Rose: You hear that, Vial?!

Vial: how did you rope me over here?

Rose: I am a genius! We sneak up on Planted Pots...then we steal her information and win!

Vial: We don't know where she is though!

Rose: Non-sense! I know exactly where she is!

Vial: And that is...?

Rose: You'll see!

''Vial facepalms as Rose runs off. Detective Hat is seen investigating the ground beneath him.''

Detective Hat: Dragon footprints... It appears they had tried to cover it up... How interesting indeed.

Ushanka approaches Detective Hat.

Ushanka: Excuse me... Hat Detective?

Detective Hat: Greetings, miss Ushanka.

Ushanka: I believe it for the best we form pair.

Detective Hat: A pair? Hmm... Why would you want that?

Ushanka: You know what you doing. I believe pair is essential for our goal.

Detective Hat: Hmm...I will see what I can do.

Ushanka nods, and follows Detective Hat's trail.

Magic Hat: Well...I suppose that leaves the rest of us!

Vial: I guess...Maybe we should be a group?

Scuba Helmet: Not sure I like that...

Blender: Whatever, I'd say we're probably the best people in the competition. Two high-class TBC competitors, plus 1 newbie that can kick ass and one newbie that's probably be in a couple of fights! Seriously, where'd those cracks come from?

Vial: I, uh...Well, to make a long story short...

''As the four walk off, with Magic Hat seemingly leading the way, we cut to nearby, with Potted Plant. Plant was put into the ground.''

Plant: Yeah...It's real. Real soil.

Pot: Hmm, and you think you know where the castle is?

Plant: No duh! It's just a straight path! We might bump into some slime...but we got this in the bag!

Pot: Ah...Thank you, Seed.

Plant hops back into Pot.

Plant: Don't thank me until we win, got it?

''Pot nods, and the two run straight forward. Rose can be seen from behind the bushes.''

Rose: A straight path...Hah! They're tricking me! Of course, this means the path naturally curves a lot! Rose, you're the smartest girl in the show!

Rose runs off to the left, completely missing the point.
