Morty: Oh! Well let's see what this series has to offer!
[END CONFESSIONAL]

[===========================]

All three tour buses pulled up outside the museum and the doors of the three buses opened up as the teams made their way towards Don at the starting line.

Don: Welcome racers! This is where you'll set off and begin your journey through several worlds of chaos and fun beyond one's imagination! Each area ends with a chill zone and the last team to step on the chill zone MIGHT be cut from the race! In the end, one team will be left standing and that team will win this series and claim the million dollar prize!

Everyone cheered upon hearing this statement.

Don: During the race you'll see several Tycho Talk Boxes from last season appear to give you information about the challenges that lie ahead! Your first leg of the race begins with a race into the museum where a Tele-Vortex portal is set up to take you to your first destination! It's a simple run that way so get ready to race in three…..

The teams got into different starting positions as Don counted down to the start of this race.

Don: Two…

Cameras zoomed in on shots of several people's eyes who were squinted to show a determined look on their faces.

Don: One…..

…..

….

…..

….

Don: RACE!

And with that, the teams ran past Don into the museum and into the Tele-Vortex which was large enough to have more than one team dive through it at a time.

[CONFESSIONAL: Cyborg & Beast Boy]
Both: AND SO IT BEGINS!
[END CONFESSIONAL]

[============================]

POOF!

The teams exited the portal where they looked around to take in the sights. The entire places looked like one city filled with vibrant buildings and the whole atmosphere felt like it had a steady rhythm which made our teams count a simple set of beats in their heads. They were outside a busy central part of this city where familiar faces from a set of rhythm games walked by. There were three characters, one white with a black bow tie, one pink with a bow on her head and one blue with glasses, who were seen at a nearby park playing with a Frisbee. A man wearing a warm jumper walked down the streets of the city with four seals rolling as they followed him.

Jenny: And we're already into the realm of weird!

[PLACE DESCRIPTION]
Don: Weirdness is what this show is all about Jenny! Or could we call you XJ-9!? HA! I'm just messing around! Welcome to the Rhythmic Islands of heaven or paradise! Take your pick! This is where characters, that use the art of rhythm, come to relax and this is our first destination! Try to keep in sync with each other if you want to avoid last place!
[END OF DESCRIPTION]

Roll: (Looks over to the distance and then points in that direction) Look! There's a Tycho Talk Box over there!

The teams ran to where the Tycho Talk Box was located. It was situated outside a majestic, white building that resembled a school with four floors and several different classes. Everyone huddled around the box as Jenny and Roll pressed the button on it to activate the Tycho Talk Box.

Tycho: (From a recording in the box) Welcome to Beat Base High! A school where Rhythm is taken to new levels! Make your way to the Mega Sports Centre on the fourth floor where the next Tycho Talk Box is located! That is all!

[FIVE MINUTES LATER]

CRASH!

The teams rushed up the set of stairs and through the doors on the fourth floor as they entered the mighty sports centre with numerous sporting venues. The teams huddled around the Tycho Talk Box placed at the entrance and listened as Morty was the one who pressed the button on it.

Tycho: Alas, the first challenge arrives! The challenge is an All In challenge of the physical kind! There are a set of curtains in front of you and as you go through them, you'll face off against our multisport Obstacle Course! It's a set of five deadly trials to push you to your limits! Follow through the course and reach the end to find the next Tycho Talk Box! That is all!

And with that announcement done and over with, the curtains were pulled back as everyone saw the powerful obstacle course in front of them. There was a huge sign above them with a description of the course.

[MULTISPORT OBSTACLE COURSE DESCRIPTION]

Stage 1: Basketball Battlefield
Description: A battlefield arena with cannons firing basketballs as ammunition!

Stage 2: Ping Pong Peril
Description: Walk along a giant ping pong table while participants are going for massive rallies.

Stage 3: Icy Rumble
Description: Try to walk across the icy floor of the huge figure skating rink with couples roaming around the place having a fun time.

Stage 4: Bounce and Bash
Description: Bounce along a long combination of trampolines while avoiding fans suspended in the air with great wind forces to blow our teams back.

Stage 5: Final Cycle
Description: Ride down a wooden ski jump with two seater bikes where teams will and outside the arena and drop to the second floor to land on safety mats where the next Tycho Talk Box will be.

[END OF DESCRIPTION]

[=================================]

[STAGE ONE]

The teams entered the obstacle course onto a giant basketball court filled with cannons.

BOOM!

And the tidal waves of basketballs were fired from the cannons making one hectic battlefield as our teams tried to avoid getting hit by them.

Dib: (Getting hit in the face with basketballs) Ow! Ack! This is not how I wanted to start this race!
Krieger: (Punching basketballs away) What do you mean!? Punching these basketballs away in rhythm is fun!
Dib: Wait, did you say rhythm?
Krieger: Yeah, why do you ask?
Dib: Hmm…I have a way to breeze through this course! Follow my moves as we step into the rhythm!

Dib and Krieger started to move around in a basic four-four beat as they stepped around the arena dodging basketballs as they struck many cool poses. The other teams looked at them with curiosity and confusion.

[CONFESSIONAL: Dib & Krieger]
Dib: What? There's nothing wrong with being a little elegant with things!
Krieger: As long as you achieve your goals, everything will be alright!
[END CONFESSIONAL]

Shantae and Bolo were moving around the arena when they saw a bunch of basketballs heading there way. Bolo ducked onto the floor to avoid them while Shantae jumped into the air to hop over them. Shantae looked over and saw two people who stole one of the cannons and were firing basketballs at the two.

Shantae: (Growls) Risky!
Risky Boots: (Revealed to be the one firing the cannon)What!? These cannons were meant to be used to fire stuff!
Shantae: You're just doing this to annoy us aren't you?
Risky Boots: Maybe…or maybe not!
Bolo: Well this feels like old times.
Captain Syrup: Reunions can be frightening things at times.
Bolo: Tell me about it!
Shantae: Enough! This line of tomfoolery will not stop us from this race! HIYA!

THWACK! POP!

Shantae kicked two basketballs back into the cannon blocking it which caused it to blow up bigger and bigger making Risky Boots look concerned.

Risky Boots: Uh oh!

BOOM!

The cannon exploded leaving Risky Boots in a pile of basketballs as Captain Syrup pulled her out of the pile while Shantae and Bolo ran off to the next part of the course.

[CONFESSIONAL: Captain Syrup & Risky Boots]
Risky Boots: Eh, unfortunate outcomes aren't a problem for me! That was just the beginning of a series full of attacks on Shantae and her little friend! But this won't distract me from the race!
Captain Syrup: I can tell that we're in for a long ride then!
[END CONFESSIONAL]

[======================]

[STAGE TWO]

The teams were now running along a giant ping pong table with the only obstacle so far being a huge net hallway down the table stretched out to perfection.

Ricky: Cool ping pong table! But doesn't seem lively. Where's the action in this thing!?
Morty: Rick! Don't say stuff like that! Otherwise….

PWOOSH!

Morty: (Sighs) Bad things will happen!

Lots of blue figures appeared on rising platforms with box shaped heads and red and yellow shorts. They began to rally for a long time as hundreds of ping pong balls were flying from side to side on the giant ping pong table.

Rick: Ha! There's nothing like a little danger to your daily stroll! Life wouldn't be as exciting as it is right now if danger didn't exist! (Grabs a laser gun) Follow me to victory Morty! HAHAHAHA!
Morty: (Sighs) Oh boy!

PEW! BAM! POOF! POW!

Rick began to fire laser bursts at the ping pong balls causing them to explode leaving a bright set of rainbow coloured lights as the two made their way across the field.

[CONFESSIONAL: Rick & Morty]
Morty: When you get involved in situations with Rick here, you can never expect anything normal to happen.
Rick: And that's how we roll in this life! (Takes a bottle of alcohol and starts drinking it) Oh yeah, this is the life!
Morty: It's both a blessing…..and a curse.
[END CONFESSIONAL]

Gumball, Darwin, Timmy and Chloe were ducking and were crawling along the floor to avoid the assault of ping pong balls.

Gumball: Oh, this is annoying!
Timmy: Tell me about it! It's got to be tough for people like us to get through this!
Chloe: I'm sure everyone is having a tough time with this.
Timmy: oh yeah? Tell that to them!

Chloe looked over to where Timmy was pointing at and saw Mario and Luigi jumping onto the ping pong balls, sending them to the ground as the two gained height in the air.

Chloe: Okay, I stand corrected. But this is no time to be complaining! If we stick to the ground, we'll avoid all of these ping pong balls!
Timmy: I actually agree with that!

And with that, the four kids crawled under the battlefield to get to the next part of the obstacle course.

[CONFESSIONAL: Timmy & Chloe]
Chloe: They seem like good friends. Maybe we could form an alliance with them!
Timmy: An alliance huh? (Thinks for a moment) It could work. We'd have an advantage in this game with an alliance so making friends with those two might be a good strategy.
Chloe: YEAH! Going to make some new friends in this race!
[END CONFESSIONAL]

[==========================]

[STAGE THREE]

PWOOSH!

The teams were trying to walk across the slippery, icy floor of the large figure skating rink but they were having difficulties as they didn't have figure skating shoes on. But one team appeared to be gliding across the ice with ease without the use of figure skates. Evil Ira was gliding and spinning across the arena like an active figure skater while Rolf the Reaper moved across the ice in a statue like pose as he read a book like he couldn't care less about the race.

[CONFESSIONAL: Evil Ira & Rolf the Reaper]
Evil Ira: Oh come on! You can't at least 'pretend' to be interested in this race!?
Rolf the Reaper: I allow myself to be how I feel! No faking who I am.
Evil Ira: Okay, I get it! Geez, such sad things!
[END CONFESSIONAL]

BEEP! BEEP! BEEP! BEEP!

Alarms went off as hatches opened up revealing robotic men and women together as couples entered the arena. This should have been a happy sight but their eyes turned red as they charged towards the teams.

Lincoln: Looks like some robotic obstacles.
Ronnie Anne: Well I'm up for a little action! Let's break these couples up!

BAM! POW! BAM!

Ronnie Anne began to fight the army of robotic couples as she sent them flying left and right against the walls of the rink. Lincoln watched the scene while smiling a little.

[SOLO CONFESSIONAL: Lincoln]
Lincoln: I know fighting isn't a good thing…but I like it when she hurts someone other than myself!
[END CONFESSIONAL]

[========================]

[STAGE FOUR]

BOING! CLASH! BOING! CLASH! BOING! CLASH!

Robot: OW! OW! OW! Why am I being blown TOWARDS the fans!?
Monster: Maybe they like you! You're a celebrity to them! You've gained lots of fans!
Robot: Ugh!

Robot and Monster were seen bouncing down the many trampolines placed on the ground. Monster appeared to be having fun bouncing up and down but Robot kept hitting the fans as the two bounced down the row of trampolines.

Robot: (Hitting another fan) OW! We need a way to sort this out!
Monster: (Grabbing Monster in the air and pulling him into a hug) Here, allow me to be your guide!
Robot: Eh, at least I'm not hitting fans now!

The two moved along the field of trampolines without hitting fans this time. However, they didn't notice that Evil Ira and Rolf the Reaper were looking at them as they bounced along the path.

[CONFESSIONAL: Evil Ira & Rolf the Reaper]
Evil Ira: That scene was positive and calm. Too calm to be precise! Looks like Evil Ira is going to have some fun later on!
Rolf the Reaper: (Quietly to the cameras in a sarcastic tone) Ooh, I wonder who the antagonist of this series is going to be!?
[END CONFESSIONAL]

Rayman and Barbara were bouncing down the path of trampolines as Mighty Ray and Mystique Sonia bounced by. Rayman was using his ears in the propeller form to keep him in the air to gain more distance.

Mystique Sonia: (Intrigued) You can spin your ears around to help you out in situations?
Rayman: Uh, yeah. Why'd you ask?
Mystique Sonia: I'm just interested in that fact! I can spin my tongue around! Watch!

Sonia spun her tongue around like a propeller as he lifted herself into the air like Rayman did but in her own unique way. The two laughed as they floated off ahead with Barbara and Mighty Ray following them.

Mighty Ray: Well, that was a quick friendship formed.
Barbara: I know! Maybe we could be in an alliance together?
Mighty Ray: An alliance!? I've heard of those! Sure thing! It'll be cool! (Holds his hand out) Let's make it official then!
Barbara: (Holds her hand out) Ok then!
Both: (High fiving each other) To our official alliance!

[CONFESSIONAL: Mystique Sonia & Mighty Ray]
Mystique Sonia: An alliance right off the bat! We're making progress already!
Mighty Ray: Now we just stay strong to them otherwise things will turn sour!
[END CONFESSIONAL]

[===================]

[STAGE FIVE]

SwaySway: WOO HOO!
Number 1: ONWARDS!
Bubbles: I THINK I'M GOING TO BE SICK!

All of the teams were now seen riding down the wooden ski jump on two seater bikes. They all jumped off the ramp and were seen making several poses in the air before they all crash landed on large safety mats paced together to form one large square. Many groans and laughs were heard showing that our fellow teams had mixed responses to their current situation. Number 5 got up and saw the Tycho Talk Box nearby.

Number 5: (Stretching her back out) Oh, this is going to take some getting used to! (Presses the button on the Tycho Talk Box) Alright, what do we have this time!?

CLICK!

A trap door was unlocked where everyone was situated. They all fell through the trap door and they were knocked out for a while.

[CONFESSIONAL: Number 1 & Number 5]
Number 5: I am…this close…to punching a wall.
Number 1: Stress levels can be frightening things at times!
[END CONFESSIONAL]

[====================]

[LOCATION: Unknown]

Number 5 groaned as she regained consciousness from that earlier event. She looked around her surroundings and found out that she was in some sort of storage room but there were no doors anywhere. There was a secret hatch located on the ceiling of this room but it was high up in the air. As she looked around, she saw that some of the other teams were with her and Number 1, but not all of them. Mario, Luigi, Rayman, Barbara, Mystique Sonia, Mighty Ray, Penn, Sashi, Sans, Papyrus, Kick Buttowski and Gunther were with the two inside this room. They all got up and saw the dilemma that they were in.

Barbara: Woah, where the heck are we?
Number 1: (Scans the place like he's on a mission) It appears to be some sort of storage room. The only way out appears to be that hatch up above. So our challenge appears to be getting to that hatch.

PWOOSH!

A Giant TV screen appeared with Don's face on it making our teams step back in surprise but they maintained their sanity for now.

Don: That is correct Number 1! Or can I call you Nigel?
Number 1: No you can't!
Don: Just messing around! I apologise for the trap door but this is to introduce you to our new 'Combine Clash' challenges! These challenges involve placing teams together in groups but the challenge remains the same to everyone. For this Combine Clash challenge, you'll have to find a way up to that ceiling and open the hatch to escape towards the ground floor of this place. That is where the chill zone is located. Last team to arrive there….MIGHT be cut from the race. See you when you reach higher grounds!

PWOOSH!

The TV screen disappeared from sight leaving these seven teams to complete the challenge.

Sans: (Looks up at the hatch) Hmm, so we just have to get up there.
Papyrus: It will take some serious strength to get up there!
Sans: Or we could just stand on that box over there.
Papyrus: Sans! How is a normal box going to get us up there!?
Sans: Just stand on the box.
Papyrus: (Sighs) Fine!

Papyrus stood on the box that Sans was pointing at and then Sans stood on it as well. Sans then used his powers to lift the box up moving the two brothers up to the hatch.

Papyrus: Oh! That's actually pretty smart Sans!
Kick Buttowski: Hey, that's not fair if you have special powers like that!
Sans: Anything goes in this race kid! Best of luck though!
Kick Buttowski: Well, I'm not giving up yet! (Rushes to a series of boxes and finds two rockets) Cool! Get ready to fly Gunther!

Kick Buttowski got out his skateboard and attached the rockets to it. After that was done, he and Gunther sky rocketed up the room towards the hatch.

Mario: Well bro! Up for a little wall jumping?
Luigi: Always up for it!
Penn: Wall jumping? Sounds like fun!
Sashi: Let's see who can reach the top first!

And with that, the four friends moved up and wall jumped from wall to wall towards the hatch on the ceiling.

Rayman: Guys, hold on to Mystique Sonia and I! We'll fly up to victory!
Mighty Ray: Great plan!

Mighty Ray and Barbara held onto Mystique Sonia and Rayman as the two flew up towards the hatch using their soaring abilities. This left Number 1 and Number 5 alone at the bottom of the room.

Number 1: Dang it! We need a plan! Quickly!
Number 5: Alright! Give me a minute to help think one up!

[====================]

[GROUP TWO]

Timmy, Chloe, Gumball, Darwin, Jenny, Roll, Bubbles, Buttercup, Rick, Morty, SwaySway, Buhdeuce, Cyborg and Beast Boy woke up in a separate storage room. They, along with the other remaining seven teams, were informed of the challenge and these seven teams were placed together as they tried to find a way out of the room. There were long ropes attached to the ceiling.

Cyborg: Hey, look! There are ropes up there! If we get them down, we can climb out of here!
Beast Boy: Good plan!
Cyborg: Leave it to me! I'll shoot them down!

BOOM! BLAST! BANG!

Cyborg used his gun features to blast at the ropes but he was firing away carelessly which resulted in tiles from the ceiling falling onto the floor making the other teams step back in shock.

Roll: (Grabbing Cyborg's arms) You're being to reckless! You'll bring the whole place down!
Cyborg: No I won't! Let me keep shooting!
Roll: No! Stick to the sane mind or else you'll hurt us all!
Cyborg: We don't need to be safe all the time! (Pushes Roll away onto the floor) There we go!
Roll: Ouch
Jenny: HEY! Don't hurt my friend you freak!
Cyborg: She was in my way of success!
Beast Boy: Yeah! Success through quick power and skill!
Jenny: There's more to success than power and skill! But apologise to my friend or things will turn nasty here.
Cyborg: Okay, I'm sorry…
Jenny: Thank you.
Cyborg: …That you can't handle other people's success.
Jenny: Okay! You've hurt my friend and my words! (Fires energy blasts at Cyborg and Beast Boy) You've just made an enemy!

Jenny kept firing blasts at Cyborg anf Beat Boy who moved to avoid them while Morty moved to help Roll up.

Morty: You okay?
Roll: (Blushes a little) Uh, yeah. Thanks for the help up.
Morty: Well, we'll keep you company while your friend sorts out her problems with those two other there.
Roll: Oh, you don't have to do that.
Morty: Really? Rick has literally jumped in to join Jenny with her assault and the others have taken this scene to their advantage.

Roll looked over to the others and saw that Rick had joined Jenny on her assault as he fired a laser gun at Cyborg and Beast Boy and the other teams used this distraction to their advantage as Bubbles and Buttercup flew up to the hatch while the others threw rocks to lower the ropes and they used the ropes to climb up to the hatch.

[SOLO CONFESSIONAL: Roll]
Roll: So that was an interesting scene. Looks like Jenny's become enemies with those two boys. But it was nice to see that someone else cares for this team. Morty is a nice person. (Smiles for a few seconds before she realises that she's blushing) Uh, just a nice friend, that's all!
[END SOLO CONFESSIONAL]

[============================]

[GROUP THREE]

Evil Ira, Rolf the Reaper, Robot, Monster, Lincoln, Ronnie Anne, Shantae, Bolo, Captain Syrup, Risky Boots, Dib, Krieger, Rolf and Johnny 2x4 were left in third and final storage room. There were a bunch of boxes containing pieces of metal that could form together to create ladders to reach the hatch.

Captain Syrup: Hey, we can use these pipes to make temporary ladders!
Risky Boots: Let's get straight to building then!
Robot: I like these people! Building stuff is great!
Monster: Then let's get to building!

Within two minutes, Captain Syrup, Risky Boots, Robot and Monster had built a metal ladder that reached up to the hatch and they started to climb up the ladders. The others were shocked at this scene.

Lincoln: Wow! They're quick!
Dib: We can't create a ladder that quickly!
Evil Ira: Oho! No need to fret! Allow me to make things….more INTERESTING!

SNAP! CRASH!

Evil Ira snapped his fingers as he used his magical powers to take apart the metal ladders sending Captain Syrup, Risky Boots, Robot and Monster back to the floor of the storage room as they landed in a pile of metal pieces.

Risky Boots: (underneath the pile of metal) OW! That was uncalled for buster! When I get out of here, you are getting a piece of my mind and a piece of my fist and sword in your face!
Shantae: You've made her mad. Not a good move I might add!
Evil Ira: oh don't worry Miss Shantae! I'm just having a little fun! Here!

SNAP! POOF!

Evil Ira snapped his fingers again creating jetpacks for the other teams next to him with the exception of the two teams in the pile of metal.

Evil Ira: Use these jetpacks to fly up to the hatch while I sort out this little fit that's going to occur from those people.
Lincoln: But….why are you helping us? We're all rivals in this race.
Evil Ira: The race can go in many directions depending on who you trust and deceive. It's all about how you play the game. Now go to the chill zone before things get ugly here.

The others nodded and most of them used the jetpacks to fly up to the ceiling where the hatch was. Shantae and Bolo stayed behind with Evil Ira and Rolf the Reaper.

Shantae: Look, it's not that we're worried for you. I'm just concerned about what's going to happen between you and Risky Boots.
Evil Ira: Well your safety is guaranteed to be pure here. I'm just going to have a little fun with messing these two teams around!

[CONFESSIONAL: Shantae & Bolo]
Bolo: You're really focused on that Evil Ira guy. What's up with that?
Shantae: Oh it's nothing serious…hopefully. I'm not interested in the guy…..it's just…..i have this feeling of trust and distrust in that guy. Like he's hiding something big!
Bolo: Well we'll have to observe his actions in detail while racing. Glad to know you don't like the guy!
Shantae: Thanks…..wait, why are you concerned about me liking him?
Bolo: (Turns around) N-No reason.
[END CONFESSIONAL]

[===============================]

Don was now seen on camera at the chill zone just a few meters away from the three hatches on the floor.

Don: Ah, the first chill zone always brings that feeling of tension and action towards you. Let's see who's surviving this first leg of the race!

CLICK! PWOOSH!

One of the hatches were opened as Sans and Papyrus were the first ones to escape the rooms below as Papyrus ran towards the chill zone while Sans walked there at a slower speed.

Don: Sans and Papyrus! You've achieved the first victory in this third season! First place!
Papyrus: YES! VICTORY FOR PAPYRUS!
Sans: And Sans.
Papyrus: (In a quieter tone) And Sans…BUT IT'S STILL VICTORY! NYAAAAAAAAAA!

[CONFESSIONAL: Sans & Papyrus]
Papyrus: The first victory is always the sweetest one! Now we just need to keep this up and we'll be skeleton millionaires!
Sans: All of our parts will be focused on Papyrus' goals. We'll be determined right down to the BONE!
Papyrus: SANS!
[END CONFESSIONAL]

CLICK! PWOOSH! CLICK! PWOOSH!

The other two hatches were opened as more teams started to appear and reach the chill zone as Don counted them off as they were seen stepping onto the chill zone.

2nd [Rayman & Barbara]
3rd [Mystique Sonia & Mighty Ray]
4th [Mario & Luigi]
5th [Penn & Sashi]
6th [Kick Buttowski & Gunther]
7th [Bubbles & Buttercup]
8th [Timmy & Chloe]
9th [Gumball & Darwin]

[=========================]

Captain Syrup, Risky Boots, Robot and Monster got out of the pile of metal pieces and glared at Evil Ira as he stood in front of Rolf the Reaper, Shantae and Bolo.

Risky Boots: So you're still here? Got to admit it, you have a lot of bravery. Perfect since I'll beat you up until you can't walk again!
Evil Ira: Idle threats won't budge this twisted magician!
Robot: Twisted is actually the perfect word to use. You seem to do all of the work while your partner does little to nothing!
Rolf the Reaper: I act when I am needed. Until then, Ira does the work!
Monster: But it doesn't explain this one thing! I get why you messed with those two ladies…
Captain Syrup & Risky Boots: HEY!
Monster: …..But why mess with us? We haven't done anything to you! We're the nicest people around!
Evil Ira: I agree with that! But the answer to your question is….BECAUSE I'M CRAZY AND I LOVE IT! Why don't you show these two ladies your angry side?
Monster: Uh…..I don't have an angry side.
Evil Ira; Then let's help with that!

PWOOOOSH!

Evil Ira shot his hypnotic beams from his third eye at Monster who got stuck in his trance.

Evil Ira: You are getting sleepy!
Monster: (In a drowsy tone) Yes, I am getting sleepy!
Robot: Monster! Snap out of it!
Evil Ira; Now, when I snap my fingers, you will become a ferocious monster who will attack these three pests! And….

SNAP!

Evil Ira snapped his fingers and this caused Monster to get REALLY angry as he had a red glowing aura in his eyes.

Monster: YEARGH!
Captain Syrup: Uh oh!

Monster started to chase Captain Syrup around while Risky Boots, Robot, Shantae and Bolo were shocked at this.

Robot: Monster! Stop it!
Evil Ira: He can't hear you! He's in a deep trance!
Risky Boots: Okay, I'm beating this guy up! (Gets her sword out) How many pieces do you want to be cut up into?
Evil Ira: None obviously! But this is where my friend steps in to show off his skill! Rolf, if you would!
Rolf the Reaper: (Walks in front of Evil Ira and gets out a scythe) Ok Evil Ira! Prepare to fight Miss Risky Boots! Sword against Scythe! Let's see which one is the better one!
Risky Boots: Fine! You'll be a warm up then I'll slash through your friend!

CLASH! SLASH! SWIPE!

Risky Boots and Rolf the Reaper clashed their weapons against each other as they fought while Monster was chasing Captain Syrup with Robot trying to calm him down. Shantae and Bolo looked at this scene with concern as they saw Evil Ira laughing at this scene with a twisted sense of joy.

[CONFESSIONAL: Shantae & Bolo]
Shantae: Okay, that Ira guy is out of his mind! But he's not harming them physically! It's the power of his mental mind that we need to be careful with!
Bolo: We'll need to keep our minds strong to stay in this race.
[END CONFESSIONAL]

Shantae: (Quietly to Bolo) Okay, we've seen what happens with this guy. Let's move out of here.
Bolo: (Quietly to Shantae) Right behind you.

And with that, the two built a ladder out of metal and climbed up towards the hatch.

[SOLO CONFESSIONAL: Evil Ira]
Evil Ira: I heard what they said. But no, I'm not going to take it too seriously. They are not a threat to Rolf and I…..yet! Let's see how things unfold!
[END CONFESSIONAL]

[========================]

Back at the chill zone, more teams started to arrive as Don stated their ranks in this leg.

10th [SwaySway & Buhdeuce]
11th [Lincoln & Ronnie Anne]
12th [Dib & Krieger]
13th [Rolf & Johnny 2x4]

BOOM!

Don heard an explosion as he saw Number 1 and Number 5 zoomed out of the hatch, flew through the sky and crash landed onto the chill zone.

Number 1: Okay, we MIGHT have put too much baking soda into our homemade bomb.
Number 5: You think?
Don: Well it's an interesting way to land on the chill zone but you're still safe! 14th place.
Number 1: Ugh! Next time, we NEED to get a higher rank!

The two got up and walked off to rest up for the next leg.

Don: Well, we're narrowing down to the last few teams. Who will be next to…..

BOOM!

Don: Another one!?

Don looked up and saw Cyborg and Beast Boy landing on the chill zone looking like they lost a fight as they were beaten up. Jenny, Roll, Rick and Morty walked onto the chill zone without any damaged applied to them.

Jenny: Well, that was one fun fight! You learn your lesson?
Cyborg: (Coughs) Y-Yeah! No more rushing in!
Beast Boy: I-I wasn't even involved in the carnage from before!
Don: That's an interesting scene to see in person! But you're all safe! 15th, 16th and 17th place!

PWOOSH!

Shantae and Bolo arrived on the chill zone next.

Shantae: Hi, did we miss anything?
Beast Boy: (Annoyed) Very funny!
Shantae: I don't get what he means by that!
Roll: We'll explain about it later.
Don: Because right now, we are down to the last three teams! Who will survive?

[=======================]

Back at the third storage room, Monster, who was still in his angry trance, was stuck against a wall as Captain Syrup pushed a large box filled with metal pipes against him blocking him from attacking her. Risky Boots and Rolf the Reaper were worn out from fighting each other and Robot was shaking Evil Ira around as he grabbed onto his shoulders. Captain Syrup got Risky Boots back onto her feet.

Captain Syrup: It's too wild around here! Let's retreat to the chill zone and save our energy back up for the next leg.
Risky Boots: (Catching her breath back) O-Okay!
Captain Syrup: Here, let me carry you so you can rest!

Captain Syrup carried Risky Boots over her shoulder as she used her physical powers to jump up really high to get through the hatch as the two disappeared from the storage room. This left Robot, Monster, Evil Ira and Rolf the Reaper alone in the storage room.

Robot: (Shaking Evil Ira frantically) CHANGE MY FRIEND BACK! NOW!
Evil Ira: OKAY! No need to get so worked up over this!
Robot: Yes, there is a need! He's my friend!
Evil Ira: Is that the only reason though?
Robot: What do you mean!? I….
Evil Ira: Want to prove to your brother that you can be successful too by winning a million dollars?
Robot: WHAT!? HOW DID YOU…..
Evil Ira: I have a unique mind! I can tell things like this from certain expressions on people's faces! But you know, you don't need money to prove that you can be as successful as your brother!
Robot: But how else am I supposed to prove it! Most of my inventions that I make blow up or hurt me in the process!
Evil Ira: You have a friend and a job! Not to mention the other friends that you have out there! I'd say that you're already a successful man!
Robot: I…think you're right!
Evil Ira: Good to hear!

SNAP!

Evil Ira snapped his fingers and this made Monster move from his trapped place to where the other three men were and he snapped out of his trance.

Monster: Hey! I feel better all of a sudden!
Robot: And the same goes to me too!
Evil Ira: Now that everyone is happy and Rolf the Reaper remains his gloomy self….
Rolf the Reaper: At least I had a battle this time!
Evil Ira: …This chapter is over!
Robot: What do you mean 'over?'
Evil Ira: I mean this part of the story is over! Behold!

SNAP! BOOOOOOOOOOM!

Evil Ira snapped his fingers which caused purple smoke bombs to appear as they landed on the floor creating a purple explosion which sent the last two teams into the air.

[========================]

Captain Syrup landed on the chill zone with Risky Boots over her shoulder as Don looked at them with curiosity.

Don: You two okay?
Captain Syrup: Yeah, she's just tired that's all!
Don: Well you've come in 19th place.
Captain Syrup: Eh, we're still in this thing so see you in the next leg!

Captain Syrup walked off screen to take Risky Boots somewhere so she could rest.

Don: Okay, so we're down to two teams! I wonder what' taking them so long?

BOOOOOOOOM!

Don: Really? Another explosion!?

Don witnessed the third explosion as the final two teams landed back on solid ground. Evil Ira and Rolf the Reaper landed on the chill zone but Robot and Monster landed a few inches away from it.

Evil Ira: Greetings Don! What an ending to the first chapter of this story!
Don: (In a worried tone) If you say so! Well you're 20th so you just barely survived this leg!
Rolf the Reaper: Doesn't matter. There's more in store for this show later on!
Don: Okay, please move that way!

Evil Ira and Rolf the Reaper moved off screen as Don walked up to Robot and Monster who got up and groaned.

Don: And that leaves you two, Robot and Monster, in last place. I'm sorry, but you have been eliminated from the race.

Monster: Aw! But it was Ira's fault!
Robot: Eh, who cares?
Monster: Huh? But I thought you wanted to win and be successful?
Robot: I already am! With my best buddy with me, we're the best successful team around!
Monster: Aw, thanks buddy! (Hugs Robot) Let's go back and eat some bacon!
Robot: The best thing to eat in the world!

[====================]

[ELIMINATION RECAP: Robot & Monster]

Scenes and screenshots of Robot and Monster rolled by as their elimination recap was being presented.

Robot: Well that was one CHAOTIC experience!
Monster: Coming in last place on the first leg is a bit sad for us but we're still happy in the end!
Robot: We went through a lot of fast paced events and Monster got the taste of hypnosis!
Monster: it's going be one event for the scrapbooks!
Robot: A memory that will last a lifetime!

The two were seen walking towards the Tele-Vortex back to the Cartoon Crafts Utopia.

Monster: So, want to visit any other places before we head back home?
Robot: Hmm…How about we hit the Bravo Blitz Bar? See if they have any bacon related meals there?
Monster: And we can party there too!
Robot: Bacon and partying! A perfect combination for us!

[END OF RECAP]
