Chapter 1: Episode 1 - If It Ain't Broke, Don't Fix It
Chapter Text
The episode starts with… a massive mechanical hand constructing something. A robot, much smaller than the hand, walks up beside it.
???: “Got good progress, my man?”
A series of clank sounds comes from the hand.
???: “Nice! I’m sure it’s good enough for me to bring everyone now. I’ll let you have a break, you can continue tomorrow!”
More clank sounds are produced by the hand.
???: “Have a nice rest, buddy. I’ll be off now!”
The mechanical hand finishes the section of what it was building and pushes itself into the ground, as the robot strolls away to an open field of grey ground as far as the eye can see.
???: “Alright, I have the list and script ready, time to get this started!”
The robot snaps, and a bunch of people appear throughout the plane. They watch as a stream of confusion crosses the faces of the group of summoned people.
The first people cut to are a stickman wearing headphones and a dice with limbs, both stunned by their appearance.
Charles: “Whuh- Wait, we’re not dead?”
Warrior: “This doesn’t look like where we were before, Charles, I think we’ve been freed!”
Charles: “But, uh, it’s still kinda empty around here…”
Warrior shrugs.
Warrior: “Maybe we gotta fight some enemies or something and then we’ll find a way out of this place!”
Charles: “I hope not…”
Warrior: “Trust me, we’ll be fine!”
A blue stickman runs past.
Warrior: “That might be one of them! Get ready to fight something, Charles!”
Charles: “I dunno it looks like they’re leaving-”
Cut to the blue stickman, who is running around, clearly very freaked out by the sudden teleportation. The stickman sees someone in the distance - or rather, a giant levitating face in the sky. He runs over to the face and tries to grab their attention, but said face is… monologuing to themselves.
Squid: “This must be some sort of odd simulation type, I don’t remember creating this but perhaps I did while shut down… I suppose the main goal here is to find the human put in this simulation and carry out what is needed, but-”
A carrot is thrown at Squid, who whips around hastily.
Squid: “Now who the hell-”
Blue waves.
Squid: “...”
Squid: “Is this the human of this simulation? Seriously? Could’ve been put in a different form, like a snail, I would’ve preferred that, but I guess the world doesn’t want to be kind to me, huh? First getting sent here, now this? Has all the regular limbs of a human, that’s the most annoying thing that could’ve been done…”
Blue stares in confusion for a few seconds, and then pulls out an image of some other colored stickmen.
Squid: “You assume I know where your friends are? Tough luck, human, I’m not a lost and found for people. Go find someone else, if there even is anyone around here besides us. Have fun with your free time while you can.”
Blue crosses their arms at Squid’s arrogance, and walks away to look for someone else.
Squid: “Humans. Always so demanding.”
A red being trots up to Squid.
Red: “Hey there! Do you know what map we’re on? I’m usually good at telling, but this looks like some sort of weird Polus transformation! My role’s crewmate, by the way!”
Squid: “I did not understand a single word you just said.”
Red: “Aw, shucks. Well, I’ll ask someone else then!”
Red skips away, leaving Squid alone.
Squid: “I am growing more concerned about this simulation by the minute.”
Cut to Red, who passes by a red block and a ball of plasma, both having stick limbs. They seem to be having a conversation. Red pops up between them.
Red: “Hello there, friends! Do you two know what map we’re on right now? I can’t tell for the life of me!”
Plasma Ball: “Now what the HELL are you?!-”
Blocky: “You know how I was talking about how I pull pranks? I think this dude will be a perfect example!”
Red: “Gasp! Are you an impostor???”
Blocky: “I’m not sure what you count as one, but I can do this!”
Blocky kicks Red into the sky.
Blocky: “That dude’ll be back in about three minutes.”
Plasma Ball: “How was that a prank?! And why’d you do that in the first place???”
Blocky: “Watch this!”
Blocky swiftly builds a contraption that, when Red returns to the ground, they fall straight into a tube that shoots them around an enclosed space before firing them off into the distance again.
Blocky: “Now that’s how you do a prank.”
Plasma Ball: “That just seemed unnecessarily violent.”
Blocky: “It’s my whole style! Plus, I’m sure there’s a recovery center around here. For now, adios! I have people to prank!”
Blocky walks off. Plasma Ball stares in disappointment at his actions, before leaving in a different direction.
Cut to a short insectoid pacing, dragging a nail behind it. A flower pops up next to it.
Flowey: “Howdy there! What’s got you feeling down, kid?”
The insectoid turns to Flowey and draws a rough sketch of a room with ice in it, along with indecipherable text.
Flowey: “Oh, I take it you were trapped somewhere and you’re here now? Funny how things go, I was in the same situation!”
The Knight notices Flowey’s peppiness is off in a subliminal way, but shrugs it off for the time being. It makes some motions with its nail that suggest it asking Flowey if he knows how to leave.
Flowey: “Oh, I think I know a way out!”
The Knight tilts their head, clearly interested in Flowey’s idea.
Flowey: “Now, here’s how I’ll find an escape route…”
Floating petals appear around Flowey.
Flowey: “Touch these, and it should give me enough of a boost to go find an exit!”
The Knight is clearly skeptical about this. Flowey takes notice of this.
Flowey: “Oh, trust me, it won’t hurt! I wouldn’t hurt a fly!”
The Knight steps backwards, not buying it. Flowey’s happy-go-lucky expression turns into a neutral one.
Flowey: “Come on, are you really going to waste your chance?”
The Knight still refuses. Flowey gets ticked off, and his face becomes more sinister.
Flowey: “THEN I’LL MAKE YOU.”
Flowey shoots rings of petals at the Knight, who skillfully slices them, but as more and more appear it’s clear that they’re starting to get worn out. A vaguely cat-ish being walking by notices this, and rushes over to help, stabbing a spear into Flowey and causing a minor explosion that makes him dig into the ground. The being then turns to the Knight, who has collapsed into a sitting position due to exhaustion. They walk over to the bug and check for any injuries, trying to make small talk in the meantime.
Artificer: “What made that plant start attacking you?”
The Knight reaches for its nail, which is laying a fair distance away, and draws out imagery of what happened. Artificer finishes checking for damages.
Artificer: “So what I’m getting is that the flower tried killing you to find himself a way out of this plain?”
The Knight nods.
Artificer: “I have some questions for that dude whenever he pops back up. You stick with me for now, got it?”
The Knight obliges, not having the energy to refute anything.
Artificer: “Let’s go find someone else. They might know what’s going on.”
Artificer pulls up the Knight and walks off to look for others, holding the Knight’s hand as to keep them following. The bug seems to not mind this at all, taking the time to look around and contemplate where all these people have ended up.
Eventually, Artificer finds a donkey and a pig wearing a suit, bonding over something neither Artificer nor the Knight can understand a single word of.
Artificer: “Hey! You two!”
Both animals turn from their conversation to look at Artificer.
Donkey: “Hello!”
Spider-Ham: “What’s got you all riled up?”
Artificer: “If for some rotforsaken reason you can’t tell what’s going on, currently we are stuck in who knows where and some flower guy just tried to murder this guy.”
Artificer points to the Knight, who is clearly zoned out.
Donkey: “Oh, now that ain’t good. Nuh uh.”
Spider-Ham: “I’m not too worried about being brought to this place, honestly! But if there’s a murderous flower around here I’ve gotta stomp it out. Do you know where I can find it?”
Artificer: “As if I knew. After I fended it off, it dug itself into the ground. It could be anywhere.”
Spider-Ham: “Well, I must be off then! Destiny awaits!”
Spider-Ham grabs Donkey and the two swing away to find Flowey. Artificer sighs.
Artificer: “That accomplished nothing.”
The Knight imitates groaning with their nail in response to the failed attempt.
Cut to a floating yellow triangle, who is clearly very confus-
Bill Cipher: “Hey, cut it out, you! I’m trying to figure out where the hell I am after being brought from ANOTHER COMPETITION, and you have the nerve to try and control my actions?!”
First of all that’s not even canon, second of all how the hell-
Bill Cipher: “I’m Bill Cipher, you idiot, you should know this! Just bring me back before I get your ass!”
No can do.
Bill Cipher: “Fine, I’ll just leave MYSELF-”
A humanoid hyena pops up next to Bill.
Hyehehe: “HYEHEHEHEHE, you think you can escape? FOOLISH!”
Bill Cipher: “And who do you think YOU are, you deformed furry?!”
Hyehehe: “The great Hyehehe! And I know ALLLLL the secrets. In fact, I know that our screen time will be ending PRETTY SOON!”
Bill Cipher: “Whatever, I’m getting out of here. Screw you.”
Bill tries teleporting away, but immediately gets confused when it doesn’t work.
Bill Cipher: “Now what the actual fuck-”
Hyehehe: “I told you, and you didn’t listen! Hyehehehehe!”
Bill Cipher: “Did you do this?! Cause I swear to god I will rip your stitches apart like a frog dissection-”
Hyehehe: “Too late! We’re out of time! The next scene will be happening NOW!”
Bill Cipher: “Now what do you mean by tha-”
Cut to Stanley.
Now- Okay, where is this place? This isn’t in the script, we’re supposed to be somewhere else. And is that-
Oh yeah. The Narrator’s here too. Hi.
Hey, I’m supposed to be the only narrator here! And do you know where we are, even?
Can’t say anything, it’ll get too meta. Have fun narrating Stanley, I guess.
The nerve of that person, ugh. Well, Stanley, I guess we should start figuring out what we’re supposed to do here. And why we’re here. And how. There’s quite a lot to do, isn’t there? First we should probably look for someone, they’ll definitely be more helpful than whoever that guy was.
So, Stanley began exploring this desolate landscape. He could see some people in the distance, of various shapes and sizes. But, they all seemed too far away. Thankfully, there was someone within a reasonable distance… a living candle? Ignoring the absurdity of there being a sentient candle with limbs, Stanley approached the candle…
Amelia slowly turns around to look at Stanley, very clearly scared by the teleportation.
Wait- you didn’t tell me you were narrating other people!
I am. Deal with it.
Hm. Well, Stanley, I suppose you should ask the candle about where we are.
…Nothing happens. You can’t really… narrate Stanley to talk with others if you can’t control them…
.
You’re quite the bugger, you know that?
Yes I do.
Amelia emptily stares at Stanley, waiting for him to do something.
Okay, just… Stanley, do you know how to speak sign language? No? Unfortunate. Maybe try just, I dunno, spelling letters with your fingers? I wish I had more ideas to help you out, but I have to admit, I’m just as puzzled as you are right now.
Amelia watches as Stanley writes ‘HI’ with finger letters.
Amelia: “H-hi?...”
Oh good, that worked! Though I think we need a better solution to the speaking issues. For now, I think you should try and motion around to this area to ask the question of where it is. Maybe throw in a question mark with fingers too? Can fingers even do that? I wouldn’t know, I don’t have any to do so.
Amelia seems to mostly understand what Stanley’s asking.
Amelia: “N-not really? I mean, I do have a few ideas ᵇᵘᵗ ⁱ'ᵐ ⁿᵒᵗ ʳᵉᵃˡˡʸ ˢᵘʳᵉ ᵃⁿᵈ ʸᵒᵘ ʷᵒᵘˡᵈⁿ'ᵗ ʳᵉᵃˡˡʸ ᵘⁿᵈᵉʳˢᵗᵃⁿᵈ”
It’s… clear that this is bothering the candle a lot more than it is Stanley or the Narrator.
I have the feeling of being insulted.
…I won’t question why that was considered an insult by you and I’ll… just get to the next part to not drag this out longer.
Cut to a humanoid robot and a slice of pizza, both chatting while walking around.
Pizza Steve: “So, my man, where do you think we are?”
N: “I think maybe that host person decided that we were frozen for long enough and dropped us off here! Though I don’t see why they couldn't've just sent us home!”
Pizza Steve: “Maybe. Or perhaps someone else did it, and didn’t know where to send us so we just got put here! Though I guess anything could have happened, that’s how the world goes!”
The two continue talking for a fair bit, before Pizza Steve looks ahead, and immediately freezes in place.
N: “An- huh? You okay, Steve?”
Pizza Steve: “N. Look ahead.”
N turns to see a massive reptilian and a pink circle with multiple arms having a shouting match with each other, while a massive clump of torches sits in the middle.
N: “Oh… That’s not good!”
The torches start moving in a zigzag, away from the two giants, and clump up next to N and Pizza Steve, neither of whom notice.
Pizza Steve: “What do you think we should do, bro?”
N: “Try and stop them? I don’t think that’s good for two big guys to be screaming at each other.”
The torches make an x in front of Pizza Steve and N, catching them off guard.
Pizza Steve: “Did those torches just move, bro?!”
N: “I think they did, and I don’t think they want us to go over there!”
The torches make a thumbs up in response.
Pizza Steve: “Well, bro, I never thought I’d see a horde of sentient lights, but here we are.”
N: “Hey, torches! Do you know where we are?”
The torches make a thumbs down.
N: “Aw. Was worth a shot, at least.”
Pizza Steve: “That fluked.”
Pizza Steve: “Hey, torch bro, maybe we can all go look for someone that might have an idea of what this place is. You chill with that?”
The torches make a thumbs up.
Pizza Steve: “Radical! Now we should head off!”
N, Pizza Steve, and the torches all leave the area, as the two large beings who were previously just shouting at each other are now fistfighting.
Cut to a small green creature and a living nacho, both idly walking. The nacho is behind the green thing.
Plankton: “I will find a way out of here, I’m not getting frozen again! If only I had my tools and such, I’d make a machine to make an escape!”
Nacho: “The only time I’ve seen you touch a machine you almost blew everyone up…”
Plankton: “One incident doesn’t mean anything!”
Nacho: “Sure…”
Plankton: “Why in Neptune’s name are you following me, anyways?! Just to piss me off?!”
Nacho: “You could say that…”
Plankton: “Go bug someone else, then! There’s bound to be someone that you can harass!”
Nacho: “...Nah.”
Plankton: “You are such a nuisance, you know that?”
Nacho slowly nods.
Plankton: “I hope whatever gods are here smite you.”
Meanwhile, a humanoid bear seems to be sitting in the not-too-far distance, taking notes.
Science Bear: “An upright Cyclops strenuus, and a sentient nacho chip with limbs akin to sticks… truly peculiar! I need to perform experiments as soon as possible, this is remarkable!”
Science Bear rises up from the ground he was sitting on, and writes down more information, not paying attention to where he’s going - and bumping into a test tube doing the exact same thing.
Science Bear: “Oof!”
Test Tube: “Ack!”
Both are knocked to the ground, their notes falling beside them. Both quickly grab their notes and get up.
Test Tube: “I apologize, I should’ve been looking where I was going.”
Science Bear: “No worries, I was quite caught up in my own stuff too- wait… are you a living test tube?”
Science Bear readjusts his goggles.
Science Bear: “This day keeps getting more and more exciting, I must figure out how this phenomenon occurs!”
Test Tube: “I am indeed a vial of scientific solution, and you are… a bear, it appears?”
Science Bear: “You would be correct! Astute observation.”
Test Tube: “Well, I myself am a bit of a scientist, so I would like to think I know a thing or two about that.”
Science Bear: “Ah, someone of my profession! It’s been a while since I’ve seen another. Truly mind boggling how different species can fulfill the same societal roles, is it not?”
Test Tube: “Ooh, yes! Oh, if only I was at home, I would have shown some of my own inventions! But, ah, we’re currently… wherever this is.”
Science Bear: “Yes, unfortunate that we’ve landed here. I’m not exactly sure of our whereabouts myself, I have been trying to research the local fauna, or at least what I assume is said fauna. So far I have found a variant of copepod that seems to be completely upright, and a nacho chip much like you in that it has thin arms and legs.”
Test Tube: “I’ve been doing that too! I found this weird, black and lanky being. I didn’t get many notes before it seemed to teleport a distance away, but it does seem to be on a similar body plan to yours.”
Science Bear: “Oh, I must see this immediately! And in the meanwhile, I can share my studies with you, if you would like.”
Test Tube: “That sounds great!”
And so, Science Bear and Test Tube headed off to look for the creature, geeking out about all sorts of things in the meanwhile. Neeeerds.
Cut to the aforementioned being standing still. Staring directly forwards. It’s a bit creepy. The two large beings can be seen fighting in the background, though clearly this humanoid doesn’t care.
A lamb passes by, and turns to the being, making direct eye contact… big mistake.
Lamb: “Ah, hello there! You’re the first person I’ve met since getting here. Would you be interested in joi-”
The being screeches loudly.
Lamb: “You could’ve just said no, asshole! Fine, I’ll go, but know that you’ll pay for your sins one day!”
The lamb starts to leave, but the Enderman grabs him.
Lamb: “Alright, what’s your problem?! All I did was ask a simple question!”
The Enderman slams the Lamb across the floor, and continues screeching for a fair bit, before teleporting away. The Lamb slowly gets up, dusting off their robes.
Lamb: “Tough crowd, huh. Well, one day that wretched thing will regret their actions.”
A massive golem of stone stomps around nearby.
Lamb: “Perhaps that fellow will be more open to indoctrination!”
The Lamb scurries over to the robot.
Lamb: “Hello there, friend! It seems we are both lost here, but I have a plan! See, if you joi-”
The golem stares menacingly at the Lamb, before flicking him away. It then heaves out a low groan, before hearing some sudden commentary behind it, making it turn around instinctively.
Wheatley: “That fellow was quite the bugger, wasn’t he? I do think he had ulterior motives, but who am I to know, I’m just a personality core!”
The golem glares at the small robot.
Wheatley: “Oh, please don’t flick me away like a sports ball. That wouldn’t be very kind, would it? Of course, you did make that sheep man go flying in the same manner, but I’m not of any harm!”
Deciding it isn’t worth the trouble, the golem limbers away.
Wheatley: “I thought I was a goner there, woo! Hopefully I can find a management rail around this place, I wouldn’t want to be punted like that guy was.”
Cut to a lemur with a crown standing atop another being’s head.
King Julien: “So much empty space! I’m sure I could build a great kingdom here, if I could find some resources and helpers!”
King Julien: “Of course, I doubt it could ever match my homelands, but what is a king without many lands to rule?”
The being he’s on shifts around and throws him off.
Sundew: “Are you gonna stop living in your weird royal fantasies and help me look for somebody or what?”
King Julien: “They are not weird, my friend, it is only the truth!”
Sundew: “Whatever you say.”
Someone else trots up to them, clearly confused.
Glendale: “Do you guys know where we are?! I was sleeping and then I woke up and now I’m here, I tried pinching myself awake but it didn’t work!!!-”
Sundew: “That’s exactly what we’re trying to find out, we have no clue either. As much as I hate to say it.”
King Julien: “I’m sure we can figure out! Then I’ll be able to build my kingdom here.”
Glendale: “Kingdom?”
Sundew: “This idiot keeps going on and on about being royalty, when he’s just a lemur with a fancy hat. I don’t see how he thinks that when his species isn’t even supposed to speaking our language-”
King Julien: “Rude! I will be heading away from you now, naysayer!”
Sundew: “Good riddance, then. I’d do better on my own than with you.”
King Julien leaps onto Glendale’s head.
King Julien: “Would you like to join my kingdom? I’ll make it the most glorious thing anyone here has ever seen!”
Glendale: “Uh, sure! I don’t see why not!”
King Julien: “Great! Onwards we go then, to claim more people as our citizens!”
Glendale and King Julien run off, leaving Sundew alone.
Sundew: “Best I go find someone who isn’t a total idiot.”
Cut to a penguin, a fish man, and a human all talking with each other about their weapons while sitting down, ignoring their predicament. And also the human is talking in cello noises.
Woodie: “This here, this is my axe Lucy. She’s quite the avid tree chopper, trust me.”
King Dedede: “She, you say?”
Woodie: “You got that right.”
Nikoly: “I didn’t know inanimate objects had genders! Have I been misgendering my scythes and stuff all this time?”
Woodie: “It’s a bit of a different scenario.”
Lucy: “I’m not just ‘inanimate’!”
Dedede and Nikoly are both shocked by Lucy speaking.
King Dedede: “Did Lucy just talk? ”
Lucy: “I did indeed talk! What about it?”
King Dedede: “I’ve got nothing against you for it, I’m just- flabbergasted at it. Normally that’s not possible!”
Nikoly: “Now I’m really wondering.”
Woodie: “It’s quite the story that I don’t have the time to tell.”
King Dedede: “Don’t blame ya.”
Nikoly: “...Speaking of, do we even know where we are?”
Woodie: “That’s not really related, but I don’t think any of us know. But it’s nothing to worry about, eh?”
Nikoly: “Guess you’re right. Just hope I can see my Espacoins soon…”
Cut to two humans…? looking around for something.
Ploque: “I’m sure I left my saws around here somewhere…”
Rocket: “Hey, I’m sure we’ll find them quick!”
A llama trots over.
Carl: “I heard saws. I like saws.”
Ploque: “That makes two of us, then! Could you help me find mine? I kinda need them…”
Carl: “Sure.”
Carl digs into the ground to look for them.
Rocket: “Would your saws be underground?”
Ploque shrugs. Meanwhile, Carl digs up a scarily large amount of bones.
Carl: “Nope, not down this tunnel.”
Carl hops out of the hole he made, and begins chewing on a leg bone as he begins another hole.
Rocket: “Are you eating a human bone???”
Carl: “Yeah. It’s rich in calcium.”
Ploque: “...I think I see why you like saws now.”
Carl: “Bingo.”
Carl finds Ploque’s saws, and hands them over to the brown humanoid.
Carl: “Now, I shall be off. To eat.”
Carl walks away.
Ploque: “...I kinda hope I don’t see that guy again.”
Rocket: “He gives me the creeps.”
Another human comes from the direction Carl went in, staring with an odd glare in his direction, before turning to the other two and waving.
Rocket: “Hi there!”
Ploque waves back. The human points a sword in Carl’s direction, and draws out a scene of him holding a human bone in his mouth in the air.
Rocket: “Yeah, he found those underground when he was helping look for Ploque’s saws.”
Ploque: “I felt very uncomfortable after that.”
Kris looks down to see the pile of bones next to them, then back at the two.
Ploque: “We are just as uneasy about it as you are.”
As the three continue talking about Carl, a unicorn passes a distance in front of them, sighing to himself.
Charlie the Unicorn: “I swear, those two are going to be the death of me. Now I’m in a dark plane in who knows what dimension. Any second now they’re going to appear and then I’ll have to listen to a STUPID song by some random guy, and then that guy’ll explode. They always explode. Why do they do that?”
Charlie continues monologuing to himself as N, Pizza Steve, and the torches quickly pass by him.
N: “So, bro, do you have a name we can call you by? Just saying ‘torches’ for your name doesn’t feel very nice.”
The torches rearrange into the words ‘TORCH GOD’.
Pizza Steve: “Radical! Makes sense for a name, you do seem like the type of being to be a god of torches.”
N: “Wait, are those torches your body or can you just control any torch? Like, if I took a torch out, would it be able to become part of you?”
Torch God makes a shrug.
N: “Maybe we can test that out one day-”
N bumps into a robot. A very familiar one. From the beginning.
N: “Oops-”
???: “Who’s that- Oh, finally, some people found me! Was wondering how long it’d take!”
Pizza Steve: “Who are you?”
N: “This guy kinda looks like the TV in the room we were in before…”
Pizza Steve takes notice of this, and gets ready to fight if necessary. Torch God just sits by the two, not knowing about said room at all.
???: “Oh, trust me, I don’t mean any harm!”
Pizza Steve: “Then tell us where we are! You clearly have to know!”
???: “It’s quite simple, really…”
Spotlights appear over Koe, as a banner appears behind him saying ‘SEASON 2’.
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “A second season of the show! I assure you two know what I’m talking about.”
N: “Are you the speaker person?!”
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “Ah, no, she uh… met unfortunate circumstances. I took over.”
Pizza Steve: “So when she said ‘frozen for later’, she meant this?”
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “Exactly! Good job, my pepperoni-y pal!”
Torch God, still very confused, turns themself into a question mark.
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “Nothing you’ll have to worry much about for long. Now that people around this place have gotten acquainted with a few others, I can bring everyone else here!”
N: “How many people did you bring?”
Koe snaps, and thirty-seven other people appear, all clearly confused on the second teleportation and speaking out about the suddenness. Except for the two large guys, who are still fighting.
N: “...Maybe I shouldn’t have asked that, huh.”
Before more cacophonies can erupt from the crowd, Koe grabs out a megaphone and speaks into it.
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “BE QUIET AND I’LL EXPLAIN EVERYTHING!”
Silence.
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “...Didn’t expect that to work, honestly!”
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “Anyways, welcome everyone, I’m Mr. Koe Hohzd, but you can call me Koe. You’ve all been picked to compete in a competition of mine! It’s a sequel to a previous one, actually. Some of you may recall that.”
Some whispers are spread across the group in response to this.
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “Now, you may be asking ‘Why go out of your way to get people from different universes?’. Because it’s funny! And, I’m sure you’re also interested in what the prize will be. Well, I have your answer right here!”
Koe holds up some sort of orange crystal.
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “This, contestants, is the Wishing Gem! With it, you can do almost anything you wish! Of course, there’s some restrictions, but it’s practically limitless. Quite the enticing reward for winning, don’t you think?”
This does make most of the people excited about - or at least interested in - competing.
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “Glad to know you all like it! Well, most of you all.”
A hand raises up from the crowd.
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “Yes?”
Science Bear: “Why make us compete in the first place? And do we have to live in this blank space for the length of this competition, or longer? And exactly how long is the competition?”
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “Good questions! For the first one, it’s because I’m legally obligated to due to unexplainable reasons. Plus, it’s in my code to do competitions. Secondly, for the time being you’ll have to stick around in this plane, but I actually have a nicer place being built by this dude-”
A mechanical hand pops out of the ground next to Koe.
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “So it won’t be for too long that you have to live out here! I’ll also add that once the competition is over, you’ll be returned home. I’m sure most if not all of you would like that, and I’m not a psychopath.”
Sundew: “Says the guy who forced a bunch of people into this without consent.”
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “Hush.”
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “For the last question, it depends on a lot of factors! It’s not one challenge to win the entire competition, there’ll be a series of challenges that eliminate one person each until we get to a final 3.”
Another hand is raised.
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “Alright, last question, throw it at me.”
Plasma Ball: “Are we in teams or going solo? I want to make sure I can get good teammates.”
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “There’ll be five teams of eight, chosen by you guys.”
This gets generally good reception from the contestants.
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “Now I’ve said everything that needs to be said, you all can start making your teams! Once your team is full, you can make a team name. And when all five teams are full and have their names, we can begin the first challenge! Ready, set, go!”
Immediately, the crowd disperses. Cut to N, Pizza Steve, and Torch God.
Pizza Steve: “So, dudes, want to be on the same team?”
N: “Sure!”
Torch God forms a thumbs down.
Pizza Steve: “Bummer. Well, I can’t stop you, so have fun on whatever team you decide to join!”
Torch God makes a smiley face, then heads off to find teammates.
Pizza Steve: “Can you think of anyone to add to our team?”
N looks around, before seeing Golurk and Wheatley. Wheatley is uselessly rolling around while Golurk looks around for a team.
N: “Those guys! Some robot pals would be nice!”
Pizza Steve: “Alright, let’s add ‘em on!”
N and Pizza Steve approach the two.
N: “Hey there, friends! Want to join our team?”
Golurk stares down N and Pizza Steve, and then obliges. Wheatley is much more enthusiastic.
Wheatley: “First picked for a team? Of course! I’d never give that up, I would be a fool to do that.”
Wheatley rolls himself over to N and manages to climb up his leg, then jumps into his palm.
Wheatley: “Onwards we go to find more team members, fellow contestants!”
Wheatley motions for N to head towards some of the other groups of people, as Pizza Steve and Golurk follow the two.
Meanwhile, Blocky looks around for good members to add to his team. He comes across Squid, who is doing the same thing.
Blocky: “Hey, you, flying face!”
Squid turns to look at Blocky.
Blocky: “Wanna join my team?”
Squid: “What can you do that is useful?”
Blocky points to his contraption in the distance.
Blocky: “Pranks.”
Squid: “That looks more like a torture device than a prank… You have me convinced.”
Blocky then sees the large pink circle, and calls him over.
Blocky: “You seem powerful, want to join this team?”
The circle contemplates for a moment.
Boss: “SURE.”
Blocky: “Nice! Three members already! Now we just need to get some more powerful players and we’ll be set to win.”
Cut to Science Bear and Test Tube, who have already come together as a team. They notice Enderman looking around idly, as Lamb runs by to look for teams, careful to not make eye contact with it again.
Test Tube: “That’s the creature I was talking about!”
Science Bear: “Seems to be a peculiar species, indeed… especially with how that sheep-like man tried to avoid eye contact, as if they would die upon doing so. I think it’d be a good investment to add this creature to our team! Could come to be useful in challenges with its teleportation abilities, and we can study it more.”
Test Tube nods in agreement, and grabs Enderman’s attention. Enderman walks over to Test Tube and Science Bear, and tilts its head, waiting to know why it was brought over. Both contestants make sure not to look into Enderman’s eyes.
Test Tube: “Would you be willing to join our team?”
Enderman thinks for a few moments, before nodding slowly. It stands beside the two, returning to idle staring.
Science Bear: “Good thing nothing turned for the worst!”
The team of three then notices Hyehehe, who is clearly trying to write in actions DIFFERENT THAN WHAT’S SUPPOSED TO HAPPEN. GO AWAY.
Hyehehe: “As if! Hyehehehe!!!”
Ugh. Anyways, Test Tube and Science Bear turn to each other, both confused about what Hyehehe is doing.
Science Bear: “We should probably add that hyena guy too… Their actions suggest they have motives beyond our understanding, and frankly, I wouldn’t want to be befuddled by such a species!”
Test Tube: “Sounds good-”
Hyehehe appears in front of them.
Hyehehe: “My team now!”
Science Bear: “...Well then! We have half of the amount of members we need now. Best to keep looking for more!”
Cut to Charles and Warrior, who are both strolling around while looking for team members.
Warrior: “Well, I guess I was kinda right about the ‘fighting enemies’ part!”
Charles: “I mean, at least it isn’t physical fighting, I guess!”
Warrior: “Eh, you never know, that could be a challenge. And I’d love it!”
Charles: “I wouldn’t…”
Charles and Warrior both notice Blue, who is pacing around.
Warrior: “Hey, isn’t that the guy that ran by us earlier?...”
Charles: “I think that is.”
Warrior: “Hey, they kinda look like you! Except without a face.”
Charles: “Oh yeah, that is kinda true!”
Blue, sensing they’re being talked about, turns around and sees Charles - and is immediately confused by seeing another stickman. Regardless, they wave gleefully as a greeting, which is returned by Charles and Warrior. Blue then hops over and motions to himself and then the two, presumably asking if he can join their team.
Charles: “Sure thing!”
Warrior: “I’ve got no problem with it either!”
Blue celebrates this.
Cut to Donkey and Spider-Ham.
Donkey: “Wanna make a team together, ham man?”
Spider-Ham: “You know it! Us animals gotta stick together!”
King Julien walks up to the two.
King Julien: “I heard the call of animals, and I’m here to join in! As the ruler, of course, as I am King Julien!”
Spider-Ham: “Sure thing!”
King Julien: “Glorious! Now…”
King Julien turns and shouts.
King Julien: “HEY GLENDALE!”
Glendale runs up to King Julien.
Glendale: “Hi, Julien!”
King Julien: “We’re joining these fellows.”
Glendale: “Oo, great!”
King Julien: “Now, I proclaim this team to be the royal circle of my future kingdom. We will stand glorious in this competition!”
Lamb approaches the team as they bask in King Julien’s… ‘speech’. King Julien turns around to greet him before Lamb can bring up what he intended to ask.
King Julien: “Hello there, friend! Would you like to join our team?”
This wasn’t part of Lamb’s plan. He decides to change tactics.
Lamb: “That’s what I came here to do!”
Lamb: “...With one prior question. Do you guys perform sacrifices?”
King Julien: “Hm…”
King Julien turns to the other members of his team.
King Julien: “Do you guys think we can add volcano sacrifices to the scheduling?”
Glendale and Spider-Ham both hesitate on answering.
Donkey: “I think we can!”
King Julien: “Splendid!”
Lamb: “Good to know. I’m definitely joining now.”
Carl walks over.
Carl: “I heard something about sacrifices.”
King Julien: “They won't happen too often, we don’t want anything bad happening to us!- But yes, we will be performing them.”
Carl: “Count me in.”
Glendale and Spider-Ham exchange glances.
Donkey: “Alright, six members! We are on a ROLL!”
Cut to Bill, who is examining all the contestants.
Bill Cipher: “Well, it’s clear as day that I need some people with experience on my team. I don’t want my team to fail just because they’re crackheads who don’t know what they’re doing.”
Bill sees the Knight, Nacho, and Plankton.
Bill Cipher: “Perfect!”
Bill grabs all three in one swipe of the hand and drags them to him.
Bill Cipher: “You’re with me now, losers!”
Plankton: “Wh- you can’t just do that, barnacle brain!”
Bill Cipher: “Would you rather become gold?”
Plankton silently glares, then sighs.
Bill Cipher: “That’s what I thought. Now, would you be so kind as to look for teammates who aren’t weaklings?”
Plankton: “Fine, whatever.”
Plankton turns to start fulfilling Bill Cipher’s orders, and sees Nacho was also brought.
Plankton: “I swEAR TO NEPTUNE-”
Nacho: “Hi.”
Meanwhile, Bill Cipher is scanning for more contestants himself when Artificer tackles him - but is quickly thrown off.
Bill Cipher: “Now what was that for, you stupid cat?”
Artificer: “You literally kidnapped people for your team!”
Bill Cipher: “And? We were kidnapped to be brought here in the first place, that doesn’t change anything.”
Artificer mumbles something under her breath.
Artificer: “Regardless, you took-”
Artificer points at the Knight, who is idly sitting.
Artificer: “Them, and I’m not going to let that slide.”
Bill Cipher: “You could just join this team if you’re going to be so overprotective! The feisty attitude would help the team, too.”
Clearly, Artificer hadn’t thought of that.
Artificer: “...Shit, good point. I’ll join. But lay one finger on them and I’ll turn you into origami.”
Bill Cipher: “I’d like to see you try!”
Artificer leaps over to the Knight as a large, turtle-like creature approaches Bill Cipher.
Bill Cipher: “Lemme guess, you want to join? Or are you just going to stand around and shout at me for no good reason?”
Bowser: “As much as that response makes me want to do the second, yes, I’m here to become a member of your team. Every other team is either full of idiots weaker than Goombas, or has pricks on them. This team is automatically the best option.”
Bill Cipher: “Well, you’re lucky we still have some spots, then! Get in there!”
Bill Cipher pushes Bowser over to the other members of the team, almost crushing Plankton and Nacho.
Plankton: “Hey, watch where you’re pushing people!”
Bill Cipher: “Mmmm…”
Bill Cipher: “Nah, no thanks.”
Cut to Sundew and Red looking for a good team to join. Red is happily explaining everything about Among Us.
Red: “Impostors can go into vents- y’know, tunnels covered by metal doors. And they can use it to get around the map! No crewmates can use it, except Engineers, they’ve got the skills to do so-”
Sundew: “You do realize you could just brute force it open, right?”
Red: “That’d be cheating!”
Sundew: “And you would rather die than get the upper hand.”
Red frowns. Sundew then takes a good look at all the teams.
Sundew: “Alright, clearly most of these teams are full of braindead people.”
Red: “That’s a bit rude, dontcha think?”
Sundew: “I’m only telling the truth.”
Sundew: “Regardless of your opinions, it would be best if we joined this team. The only other strong team is led by a sociopath.”
Sundew points to Blocky’s team, which now has King Dedede, Nikoly, and Woodie on it. Blocky isn’t actually visible to the two.
Red: “Oh, sure! They seem pretty not sus!”
Sundew and Red walk over to the team. Woodie greets them, as the other members are already planning things out.
Woodie: “Wanna join our team, eh?”
Sundew: “Exactly.”
Red: “Indeed we do, fellow player!”
Woodie: “You’re in luck, friends. We have exactly two spots left on this team! Just mind Blocky, eh? He’s a bit of a hoser, admittedly.”
Sundew: “I’m sure we’ll be fine.”
Woodie ushers Sundew and Red to the other members, who are planning strategies for any type of contest they can imagine.
Woodie: “Listen up, we got the last two members for our team!”
King Dedede: “Great!”
Squid: “Did you make sure they were actually of great use to our plans?”
Woodie gives a blank expression.
Woodie: “It’ll be fine, Squid! I know Sundew’s pretty strong, and I’m sure this red bean fellow will be a good addition!”
Squid: “Mhm. Sure. We’ll see.”
Sundew gives a glare at Squid, while Red watches the other teammates… then frowns once realizing Blocky is on the team. Too late now, though. Should’ve also realized he was there by name but Red probably has negative brain cells.
Cut to Blue, Charles, and Warrior. Blue is looking around for team members when they see Enderman, and is immediately surprised by the fact there’s one in the competition.
Warrior: “Whatcha looking at?”
Blue points to Enderman.
Charles: “Do you… know that guy?”
Blue nods.
Warrior: “Cool! Then we can go team up with them!”
Charles and Warrior start heading towards Enderman, but Blue pauses them. He then takes out three carved pumpkins.
Charles: “Huh?”
Warrior: “Pumpkins? What do we need those for?”
Blue motions their arms to tell his teammates that making eye contact with Enderman makes them angry, but wearing a pumpkin makes it safe to do so.
Warrior: “Ohhhh, I see! Well, I wouldn't want to fight a teammate, so I’m good with doing that!”
Charles: “Same here, I don’t want a bad reputation…”
Blue hands one pumpkin each to the two, and all three wear said pumpkins on their heads. They then head over to Enderman’s team and greet the members.
Warrior: “Hello, fellow contestants! We’re here to join your team for this competition!”
Charles: “Yeah, the other teams seem pretty full already, anyways.”
Warrior: “Plus, our blue friend here knows this tall guy!”
Warrior motions to Enderman, who seems confused.
Test Tube: “Sure thing!”
Science Bear: “One query, though, why are you three wearing pumpkins atop your heads?”
Warrior: “The pumpkins let us make eye contact with the tall man.”
Science Bear: “Hm, interesting! I’ll have to add that to my notes.”
Science Bear writes down more info.
Science Bear: “Now, one more member…”
He then notices Charlie not too far away.
Science Bear: “A unicorn? I thought those were only fiction!”
Science Bear calls out to Charlie, who turns to look at the team.
Charlie the Unicorn: “That team is better than whatever’s going on with the others, I suppose. I’m still not happy about this at ALL, but I won’t deny an easy out, at least…”
Charlie walks over to the team.
Charlie the Unicorn: “Don’t make me regret this.”
Science Bear: “It’ll be fine, I assure you!”
Test Tube: “Hey, wait, we have a full team, shouldn’t we be making a team name?”
Science Bear: “Oh, yes, you’re right! I do hypothesize a good name for this team would be…”
Science Bear: “Science!”
The team name appears in the sky over the team.
Hyehehe then writes over the team name in the sky to ‘IDIOT’.
Science Bear: “Hey, rude!”
Charlie the Unicorn: “How does that even work-”
Cut back to Blocky’s team. Nikoly overhears IDIOT’s team naming.
Nikoly: “Guys, we forgot to make a team name!”
Sundew: “Of course we did.”
Woodie: “I think we should be called the Lumberjacks!”
King Dedede: “The Clobbah-ers.”
Red: “The Crewmates!”
Boss: “THE CORRUPTION.”
Nikoly: “thee killion”
Lucy: “Tree Destroyers!”
Squid sighs.
Squid: “Those names were all horrid.”
Blocky: “I’ll make the name, as I was the one who made this team!”
Squid: “This doesn’t automatically make you the leader, by the way.”
Blocky: “I know. Shush.”
Blocky: “This team will be… Blocky’s Funny Doings International!”
Applause comes from most of the team. Squid and Sundew both look disappointed.
Sundew: “Egotistical, much?”
Blocky: “Hey it was better .”
Cut to Amelia and Stanley.
Thank you, I can finally say something again. Now, I must admit, most of these teams are filled with issues. Stanley, I think it would be in our best interest to go to the team with all the robots on it. And, I will also suggest perhaps taking this ‘Amelia’ person with you. She's the only contestant we’ve met so far and doesn’t seem half-bad.
And so, Stanley and Amelia went to N’s team, Stanley bringing Amelia there by lightly pulling on her hand.
…Oh dear, we may have run into a roadblock. I’m not sure how to have us ask to join this team, since writing it out in letters would be a pain in the arse. No matter, I’m sure you could find a different way-
N: “Hi there, you two! Want to join our team?”
Pizza Steve: “Wait, bro, are we 100% sure we should be accepting them?”
N: “There’s nothing to be worried about, Steve! They’re not psychopaths or anything!”
Pizza Steve: “I don’t like the tone you said that in, it was as if you were predicting the future…”
N: “Hey, you’re supposed to be chill too, man!”
Pizza Steve: “Okay, yeah, I’m probably overreacting. Sure, join the team, if you guys are cool with that also.”
Oh. That makes things easier, doesn’t it, Stanley? Just nod your head yes and we’ll be set.
Amelia gives a weak thumbs-up and smile, while Stanley nods his head.
N: “Hooray! We just need two more members now!”
Flowey: “Two more, you say?”
Flowey appears behind N, with Kris behind him, seemingly exhausted.
Flowey: “We’ll take that spot right now!”
Pizza Steve: “Okay bro I actually have a bad feeling about this time-”
N: “Come on, it’s fine! You two can join!”
Flowey: “Great!”
Kris faceplants from tiredness.
N: “Now, a team name…”
Wheatley: “Oh! I have the greatest name idea! It’ll be better than any other name in the existence of names, I can tell you that for certain, teammates-”
N: “Our team will be called Cool Friends! Cause we’re all friends here!”
Wheatley: “Aw man… But hey, I like that name too!”
Pizza Steve: “Right on, dude! This name rocks!”
Cut to Bill Cipher’s team.
Bowser: “I would’ve thought that we’d get more members by now!”
Artificer: “His fault, probably.”
Artificer points to Bill Cipher.
Bill Cipher: “You talk as if I felt even a little insulted by your petty words!”
Artificer: “That’s not how the word petty is used.”
Torch God arrives at the team.
Bill Cipher: “Oh, FINALLY, a new member!”
Torch God affirms that it is here to join.
Bill Cipher: “Well, get with the rest of these losers, then!”
Bill pushes Torch God over to the rest. Artificer, Plankton, and the Knight are playing Go Fish while waiting for the final teammates.
Plankton: “Finally, someone new joins!”
Knight greets Torch God with a simple wave. Torch God imitates a wave in response.
Artificer: “Don’t mind the annoying people too much. It’ll only make things worse.”
Plankton: “And who exactly are these ‘annoying’ people?”
Artificer: “You, if you don’t stop giving me that attitude. Does anyone have any eights?”
Knight shakes their head no.
Plankton: “Go fish.”
Artificer takes out a card from the pile. Plasma Ball approaches the team from behind the card-playing group and walks up to Bill.
Plasma Ball: “Hey, flying pyramid! I’m here to join your team. The only other open team sucks.”
Bill turns around.
Bill Cipher: “Oh, perfect!”
Bill picks up Plasma Ball and seats her next to Nacho.
Nacho: “Hey.”
Plasma Ball: “Did he really jus-”
Bill Cipher: “Now! Team name!”
Bowser: “I, for one, have a name I think is great. We should be called the Glorious Squadron of the Floating Triangle’s Rulershi-”
Plankton: “We are NOT NAMING IT THAT.”
Plankton stares at the team name, exasperated.
Plankton: “SERIOUSLY?!”
Bill Cipher: “Great going, kid.”
Bill claps sarcastically.
Finally, cut to Ploque and Rocket. Being the last contestants to go on a team, they’re forced to go to King Julien’s team.
Rocket: “Well, hey, it can’t be that bad, right?”
Ploque: “Let’s just hope.”
When the two arrive at the team, all the members turn to look at them.
Donkey: “Aw man, the running theme of the team is gone now!”
King Julien: “Unfortunate. Well, we are obligated both morally and contractually to allow you on this team, so you are permitted entrance!”
Rocket quietly whispers so only Ploque can hear.
Rocket: “It was that bad. ):”
King Julien: “Now, my loyal subjects, it is time for this team to receive a name! As you are all officially the most respected of my kingdom’s population by proxy of being on this team, the only appropriate name is the Royal Circle of King Julien!”
Spider-Ham: “Oh cool, a fancy team name!”
Awesome cut/timeskip time. All five teams have now arrived back to where they were originally teleported to, with Koe standing in front of them again.
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “Now that you all have named your teams, it’s time to actually get into the competition!”
About time. We’re already over 8000 words in.
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “Now, for this first challenge, each team will be teleported in an outcropping next to a river. The goal of the challenge is to build a boat and get to the end before the other teams. The team that makes it to the end last will lose and its members will be at risk of elimination. I’ll provide materials for your boats once you’re sent there, and you’ll have thirty minutes to get building. Once time is up, I’ll let you all know, and then all boats will be sent off to traverse a dangerous seascape to reach the end! Now get going!”
Koe snaps, and all five teams are warped to a grassy area surrounded by unclimbable cliffs. The first focus goes to NNIT. Bill pulls out a lawn chair and sits on it.
Bill Cipher: “I expect a fully functional boat in twenty minutes!”
Artificer: “And you can’t lift a finger to help?”
Bill Cipher: “Look, kid, I’ve got things to do!”
Artificer: “By ‘things to do’, do you mean sitting around and being lazy?”
Bill Cipher: “Bingo!”
Artificer: “Ugh. I suppose there’s no arguing with you.”
Bill Cipher: “That’s the spirit! Now go and make me proud, losers!”
The entire team, excluding Bill and Torch God, starts working on their ship, making sure to accommodate for Bowser’s size.
Plankton: “Are you seriously making this asymmetrical? That’s not how a boat works!”
Bowser: “I’ve had many skyships over the years, it’ll be fine.”
Plankton: “A skyship is not a boat.”
Nacho pops up from the lower area.
Nacho: “Plankton, you forgot to add the floor.”
Plankton: “Seriously?”
Plankton leaps down and, low and behold, there is no floor.
Plankton: “I MADE a floor, did you remove it like the complete asshole you are?”
Nacho doesn’t respond.
Plankton: “Of course you did.”
Plankton starts remaking the floor. Meanwhile, Artificer and the Knight are focusing on the sails.
Artificer: “That idiotic triangle is going to be the death of us. He really thinks he can just mess around while we do all the work? And we can’t even do anything about it.”
Knight agrees with the sentiment, as they raise one sail and ride down a rope to get to the deck. Torch God is sitting outside the ship, as Plasma Ball is watching over Bowser as he makes the ship symmetrical, cursing under his breath while doing so. Artificer follows Knight’s lead in going to the deck.
Artificer: “At least some of our teammates aren’t douchebags. And useful.”
Artificer looks over the ship’s side to see Torch God.
Artificer: “Why aren’t you helping?”
Torch God writes ‘COULD BURN SHIP’.
Artificer: “An actually good reason, thank the Iterators.”
Bill Cipher: “Hey, you know I heard you insult me, right?”
Artificer looks over to Bill.
Artificer: “Honestly? I could care less.”
Bill Cipher: “Suit yourself!”
Bill sips from a martini while relaxing in his lawn chair.
Artificer: “...I hate you.”
Bill Cipher: “Thanks for the compliment!”
Cut to IDIOT. Science Bear and Test Tube are overviewing the materials while the other members wait for them to finish.
Test Tube: “With a bit of engineering, we could make these thrusters go approximately eight times faster…”
Science Bear: “This metal plating seems to be the right amount of thickness to be durable yet lightweight!”
Blue watches, but then suddenly, an idea pops in his head. He pulls out four wooden boats from Minecraft and drops them to the ground.
Warrior: “Did you just summon boats from nowhere?”
Charles: “Oh, cool!”
Test Tube and Science Bear turn around to see Blue’s boats.
Science Bear: “Well, I guess we’ve already got boats to use.”
Test Tube: “Is that breaking any rules, though? We’re not using the materials given and instead using pre-made boats.”
Warrior: “We’ll be fine, I’m sure of it!”
Test Tube: “Alright, sure. But let’s add these thrusters onto the boats for extra momentum, and just to claim a bit of originality.”
Test Tube and Science Bear weld thrusters onto each boat.
Science Bear: “I assume each boat is for two people, right, Blue?”
Blue confirms this, then leaps into one boat.
Science Bear: “Choosing which vessel we will ride in already? I will say that is a fairly nice idea.”
The rest of the contestants get into boats. The groups are Blue and Enderman, Charles and Warrior, Science Bear and Test Tube… and Charlie and Hyehehe.
Charlie the Unicorn: “This could not get any worse.”
Hyehehe: “Oh, but it could! Hyehehehehe!”
Hyehehe starts playing organ sounds with their ears, annoying Charlie.
Charles: “Should we do anything about that?...”
Science Bear: “It’s nothing to be worried about, I believe. At most it will cause irritation, but the unicorn seems to not be of any state to perform irresponsible acts while under the effect of being bothered.”
Warrior: “I didn’t understand half of that but it sounds safe to me!”
Cut to RCoKJ. King Julien is ordering the construction of the boat, which isn’t actually going too badly.
Ploque: “I’m not too keen on the fact that we’re forcibly partnered with the bone-eating llama…”
Rocket: “Hey, maybe there’s an upside to it!”
Ploque: “What, like eating our enemy’s bones?”
Rocket: “...”
Ploque: “Please don’t tell me that was your first thought.”
Lamb drops down from the deck to the bottom area, where Ploque and Rocket are working.
Lamb: “What’s going on with you two?”
Rocket: “Talking about…”
Rocket points upwards, where on the deck Carl is working.
Rocket: “The llama dude.”
Lamb: “What about him?”
Lamb starts assisting with getting the walls in the lower area done.
Ploque: “He ate at least two bones. In front of us. Without shame.”
Lamb: “Huh. Never knew you could eat bones!”
This grants some confused glances.
Ploque: “And you’re not questioning that he ate them in the first place?...”
Lamb: “Who am I to judge people’s choice of food?”
Rocket: “It’s a very judge-able thing!”
Ploque: “Especially when it’s bones… our bones.”
Ploque points to herself and Rocket.
Lamb: “Ohhhh, now that! That makes a bit more sense.”
Lamb: “I’m not in the right field to have any opinion though, so…”
A head pops up from above.
Glendale: “Hey, Lamb, King Julien says you need to work on the sails because he had me and Spider-Ham continue on the main floor instead!”
Lamb: “Ah, yes, alright! Well, friends, I’ll be off then! See you in due time!”
Lamb hops up to the deck again.
Glendale: “And for you guys down there, King Julien’s saying you can keep working down there! He thinks you’re doing a good job.”
Ploque: “Well, that’s something nice to hear!”
Ploque grumbles under her breath a bit.
Ploque: “Unlike anything that’s happened before this...”
Rocket: “Tell him we said thanks!”
Glendale: “Got it!”
Glendale’s head returns back to the upper floor, leaving Ploque and Rocket alone again.
Cut to BFDI. The entire team is working on their boat… except for Woodie, who is chopping down trees for extra materials. And also just to chop trees.
Boss: “THIS BOAT IS SURPRISINGLY NOT TERRIBLE.”
Blocky: “Way better than what my teams in competitions have done before, I can agree with ya!”
Nikoly, who is working on one of the sails, looks to Blocky.
Nikoly: “Before?”
Blocky: “Oh, yeah, I’ve competed in stuff like this before! Should’ve mentioned that earlier. Not in another dimension, however, that’s a foreign concept.”
Boss: “IS THAT WHY YOU DEVISED THIS TEAM IN THE FIRST PLACE?”
Blocky: “Exactly!”
King Dedede heaves up a bunch of wood from Woodie’s chopping to the deck.
King Dedede: “Here’s the next delivery. There’s not many trees left, so I’m just gonna rest until he’s done…”
King Dedede lays down on the floor, as the three conversing members begin using the new supply of wood.
Over at the ship’s bow, Squid is summoning spikes onto the very front of the boat.
Red: “What’re those for?”
Squid: “Destroying obstacles. Like rocks. Or people.”
Red: “Seems kinda sus if you ask me…”
Squid: “What does this ‘sus’ mean?”
Sundew walks by, holding some wood to fill up a hole on the side.
Sundew: “Don’t ask, because then you’ll spend fifteen minutes listening to his life story or something.”
Squid: “...Consider your advice followed. I won’t query further.”
Woodie hops onto the boat, Lucy in tow.
Woodie: “Finally done chopping all these trees!”
Sundew: “Great. Now you can actually work on the boat like the rest of us.”
Red: “Hey, don’t be rude! That makes you kinda sus!”
Sundew: “It wasn’t my intention to be rude but sure, whatever.”
Sundew gets to working, as Woodie pitches in to help.
Squid: “What about you, bean man?”
Red: “I finished up the floor already and nobody told me what to do next.”
Squid: “So just ask?...”
Red: “Oh, I hadn’t thought of that! Thank you!”
Red runs over to Boss to ask for a new task, as Squid sighs.
Squid: “This imbecile is quite possibly the most annoying person I’ve met.”
Cut to CF, where their boat… is a complete mess. Everybody just added what they wanted to add - except Kris, who tried to make a functioning boat but clearly failed.
N: “What a wonderful boat! Great job, everyone!”
Most of the team steps back from the horrid abomination of a ship, while Pizza Steve grins and Wheatley blabbers on about the grandness of its design.
Flowey moves up to the boat’s entrance, but immediately realizes he has no way of getting on.
Flowey: “I hate to break it to you all, but I’m rooted into the ground. I’m not getting on that boat.”
N: “Hey, no worries!”
Pizza Steve: “Wouldn’t the host want us to all get to the end, bro?”
N: “Aw, darn, you’re right.”
Wheatley: “Hey, I have an idea! Just pluck him out of the ground and stick him in a flower pot! It’s perfect!”
N: “Oh, good idea! But where would we get a flower pot?”
…Golurk transforms themself into a flower pot.
Pizza Steve: “Are… are you good, bro?”
Golurk confirms it is still alive.
Pizza Steve: “That’s a relief.”
N: “Alright, time for you to go in!”
Flowey: “What??? I’d rather stay off the boat than get forced into such a thing as a-”
Flowey is taken out of the ground and put inside the Golurk-turned-pot.
N: “There we go, now we have all our teammates accounted for! Everyone ready to get on?”
Most of the team is not particularly ready to get on, but they do so anyways.
Amelia: “I can’t help but feel this is a safety hazard…”
Wheatley: “Hey, look on the bright side! If we topple over, at least we’ll be alive!”
Wheatley: “Unless we don’t, but hey, I’m sure it’ll be fine! Maybe you won’t be missed!”
Wheatley rolls away, unaware that what he said was not very nice at all.
Amelia: “...”
That guy seems like a rude individual. And he’s constantly talking, too, could he perhaps be quiet?- Stanley, no, you cannot use that to insult me. Let’s just focus on not dying in this, alright? Because this ship feels like a death trap waiting to strike.
Amelia notices Stanley looking up while communicating to Narrator.
Amelia: “Are you okay?...”
Oh. I guess nobody knows about, well, this predicament , if you want to call it that. Just give a thumbs up for now, okay, Stanley? We can talk about this later, if someone has a paper and pencil we can borrow or something, since I don’t think either of us want to use finger letters to explain everything.
Stanley gives a thumbs up.
Amelia: “...Alright. Just tell me if anything’s wrong, please, I don’t want anything bad to happen… or for that craziness to be worsened...”
Amelia glances at N, Pizza Steve, and Wheatley, all partying while Flowey tries escaping the pot. Not even I want to know what the hell’s going on.
However, their weird partying is cut short by an announcement coming from seemingly nowhere, freezing everyone in place - especially Amelia.
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “Alright, everyone! The thirty minutes is now up, so we’ll be beginning the second half of the challenge. And, I forgot to mention, but if you touch the water for too long you WILL die. So be careful if you don’t want to meet that fate… But also don’t worry about it too much, you’ll be brought back to life afterwards!”
This concerns some of the members.
Wheatley: “Hey, that’s great news! At least when we die painful deaths we’re not gone forever!”
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “All boats will be released into the water in three… two… one… GO!”
The grass suddenly turns to water, and the ‘boat’ sets off. It doesn’t have very good balance and would probably collapse if it touched anything.
Wheatley: “Hey, is it just me or is this kinda shaky?”
Flowey: “Maybe it’s because of how asymmetrical we made it, ever thought of that?”
N: “Hey, that’s rude, Flowey!”
Flowey: “I only speak the truth.”
Kris raises an eyebrow at this.
Flowey: “What did I ever do to insult you?!”
Pizza Steve looks over the edge, and sees NNIT’s ship right next to them.
Pizza Steve: “Hey, look over there, dudes! Another boat!”
Flowey: “Hey, Kris, idea. You grab me, we jump over there and we kick their asses!”
Kris contemplates the idea, then agrees with it, They pick up the pot with Flowey and leap over.
N: “Hey, wait, we didn’t approve of this come on guys-”
Amelia: “I think it’s too late to stop them…”
Pizza Steve: “I knew this was going to happen, bros.”
On NNIT’s boat, Bill Cipher is still sipping his martini and relaxing on his lawn chair, which has been moved onto the back of the ship. The other team members are watching for obstacles, but are unaware of Kris’s maneuvers onto the boat.
Plasma Ball: “See anything?”
Artificer: “Nope. Only water, and a boat ahead of us.”
Plasma Ball: “Well, one team beating us isn’t too bad. …Hopefully.”
Artificer: “I don’t think we actually have a way of speeding up anyways, since Bill wanted us to make his area so grand and amazing .”
Plasma Ball: “What a self-centered asshole.”
Plasma Ball: “...Do you know where the torch guy went?”
Artificer: “Stayed behind because, well, they’re basically a living fire.”
Plasma Ball: “At least they have a reason for not doing anythi-”
Before Plasma Ball can finish, a sword slashes through her, turning her into a pile of glass and half a body.
Artificer: “WHAT THE FU-”
Artificer turns around to see Kris and Flowey.
Flowey: “Surprise, motherfuckers!”
Artificer: “Everyone, we have invaders! Prepare to attack!”
The members of NNIT, spare Bill, begin launching attacks on Kris and Flowey, who skillfully dodge and defend. During the fighting, Nacho is crunched into bits.
Plankton: “Ha! Take that, you insufferable chip!”
Artificer: “This is no time to laugh at Nacho’s death. Otherwise, you’re probably getting killed next.”
Artificer finally manages to get a hit on Flowey, incinerating his petals with an explosion.
Flowey: “OW! JESUS CHRIST!”
Artificer: “Take that, you filthy plant!”
While Kris is distracted by Flowey’s injury, Knight takes a slice at their legs, knocking them and Flowey overboard.
Bowser: “I call foul play on those pests.”
Artificer: “There’s no rule against it. It’s just irritating to deal with.”
Plankton: “Which means we can make moves against other teams!”
Artificer: “I think it’d be better to protect the ship from attackers rather than make ourselves enemies with other teams.”
The Knight sides with Artificer.
Plankton: “Suit yourselves, then. But I’m going on the attack as soon as I get the opportunity!”
Artificer: “Good luck doing that on your own.”
Cut to IDIOT, in their multiple boats. Enderman is shuddering at the water.
Warrior: “Hey, what’s wrong with the tall dude?”
Blue makes a diagram of Enderman being hurt upon touching the water.
Science Bear: “The host did say this water will kill anyone upon contact, however, so are you sure it is not that?”
Blue then accentuates that ALL water hurts Enderman.
Science Bear: “Hm. Well, that’s another note I need to write down.”
Science Bear writes down more in his notes about Enderman.
Warrior: “What’s with all the note-taking?”
Science Bear: “You see, my profession is that of a scientist - more specifically, I study in zoology and engineering - so I’m obligated to take notes on any species I find interesting.”
Warrior: “I don’t think I understood that but cool, good enough for me!”
Meanwhile, Hyehehe is still playing organ music, copying songs from Charlie the Unicorn (the show, not the character).
Charlie the Unicorn: “Can you quit it? I feel like I’m about to die from your mockery.”
Hyehehe: “Never! Hyehehehehe!”
Charlie the Unicorn: “Of course.”
Pan up to BFDI, whose ship passes right by IDIOT’s fleet.
Squid: “Is that four boats?”
Nikoly: “That’s a smart idea, we should’ve done that!”
Boss: “LET’S JUST STEAL THEIRS THEN!”
Squid: “Regretfully, I think it is too late to do so, as we may be disqualified for using another team’s boat. As much as I myself would like to do that.”
Red: “Also they’d die! That’s impostor behavior!”
On the other side of the BFDI boat, Blocky is watching for an opening to do some trickery.
Sundew: “What are you planning?”
Blocky: “Oh, totally nothing!”
Sundew: “...I can tell you’re lying.”
Blocky: “Fine, fine, you got me. I’m going to pull a prank and wipe out a team!”
Sundew: “Good luck with that, I guess.”
RCoKJ’s ship arrives at a close enough distance for Blocky to leap over. Blocky pulls out a video recorder.
Blocky: “Hey guys, Blocky here. For a prank, jump over to another team’s boat and use their weapons to blow things up!”
Blocky leaps over to RCoKJ’s ship, crashing through the deck. Surprisingly, only Donkey notices this.
Donkey: “King Julien! Someone just fell through the deck!”
King Julien: “I’m sure it’s nothing to worry about, Donkey! As long as the bottom floor is fine, we’ll live!”
King Julien peers down the hole.
King Julien: “See? It’s safe-”
Blocky jumps out of the hole, holding Rocket’s launcher. King Julien is knocked backwards.
Donkey: “Oh crap!”
Blocky: “Alright, show time!”
Blocky unleashes a bunch of rocket shots at CF’s ‘boat’, dealing severe damage to the lightweight side. As this happens, CF’s abomination grows closer to the fleet of boats IDIOT is riding.
N: “We’re falling!”
The rest of CF is freaking out, while at the same time unsure of the fates of Kris, Flowey, and Golurk.
Pizza Steve: “Bros, we need to get off and hop onto someone else’s boat! It’s our only chance at winning!”
Pizza Steve picks up Wheatley and throws him over to NNIT’s boat. N flies after him, leaving Amelia, Stanley, and Pizza Steve.
Pizza Steve: “You two! Hop down onto those boats! I’ll make sure you guys land safely.”
Amelia and Stanley both nod, before leaping down from the collapsing boat.
Pizza Steve: “I hope the rest of this team survives…”
Pizza Steve turns to look Blocky in the eyes.
Pizza Steve: “I’m not going down without a fight, block boy!”
And then Pizza Steve gets a rocket straight to the face. Ouch.
The ship crashes down on IDIOT’s group of boats.
Science Bear: “EVERYONE, DUCK!”
All members - bar Warrior, who is short enough to avoid the hit - crouch to just barely escape getting their skull crushed by the now-sinking abomination.
Test Tube: “Is everyone okay?”
IDIOT’s members are all safe and sound… except for the fact that Amelia and Stanley are huddled on Charlie’s back.
Charlie the Unicorn: “I think we have some stragglers from the wreck.”
Amelia: “...Please don’t hurt us…”
Test Tube: “We wouldn’t lay a finger on you! You can just stick with us.”
The rest of the team agrees - including Charlie, half-begrudgingly. Amelia softly smiles at the acceptance, while Stanley just lays down in confusion.
I must be honest with you, Stanley, that was quite possibly the weirdest experience I have ever had. I’m sure you feel the same way. …Agree to forget about this?
Over at NNIT’s boat, Wheatley lands on top of Nacho’s remains, with N dropping down shortly after. The entire team, save for Bill, turns to stare at the two robots.
N: “We come in peace! We’re just here because our ship crashed!”
Wheatley: “Yeah, the little block bugger shot down our ship. Really rude, we worked hard on that!”
Wheatley continues talking about Blocky’s rudeness, while Artificer brings up a spear to N’s throat.
Artificer: “Make one move and you’re dead meat, got it?”
N: “Yes, ma’am!”
Artificer: “Good.”
Artificer is about to leave N alone when RCoKJ’s boat accidentally rams into the side of NNIT’s, knocking Wheatley and the Knight off and disorienting the rest.
Bill Cipher: “Hey! What gives?”
Bill looks over and sees what happened.
Bill Cipher: “You picked the wrong team, idiots!”
Bill points a finger at RCoKJ’s boat and sends it a far distance backwards, crashing it into the wall and making most of the team fall off in the process.
Bill Cipher: “Aaaaand done.”
Artificer: “You could’ve done that when we got attacked, and yet you wait until NOW?!”
Bill Cipher: “I felt personally offended this time.”
Bowser: “At least we have a captive now.”
N: “Hey, since when was I a captive?”
Bowser: “Since I decided you were.”
Bill Cipher: “Oh, great, a bargaining chip! We can use this incase that stupid team named ‘Cool Friends’ or something plans an attack.”
N: “Uh, most of our team is dead and our ship’s gone too…”
Bill Cipher: “Damn. He’s useless then. Throw him overboard.”
Bowser picks up N.
N: “No wait please don’t-”
Bowser chucks N into the water.
Plankton: “Well, that was stupid.”
Artificer: “I have to agree with you here.”
Bill Cipher: “Honestly, I’ve gotten bored of sitting around in the open waters doing nothing. Let’s speed this up!”
Bill snaps and the boat suddenly goes HORRENDOUSLY fast. Plankton flies off the boat while Artificer and Bowser struggle to hold on.
Artificer: “Are you INSANE?!”
Bill Cipher: “I am, how could you tell?”
Bill laughs as the ship crashes into shore, knocking the surviving members onto land.
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “Great job, Not Naming It That! You’ve earned first place!”
Torch God slinks over to NNIT, and notices that over half the team is gone. They question what happened to the others.
Artificer: “Invaders killed Plasma Ball and Nacho, a ship knocked the Knight off, and Bill forced our ship to go at impossible speeds which made Plankton fly off to who knows where.”
Torch God makes a :| face.
Artificer: “Exactly how I feel.”
Back at RCoKJ’s ship, King Julien is standing on the bow, checking for survivors.
King Julien: “Head count! Who’s still alive?”
Only Glendale and Ploque remain. …And Blocky, still holding Rocket’s rocket launcher.
King Julien: “Wait, you’re not on our team!”
Blocky: “Yep. Bye, suckers!”
Blocky uses the rocket to blast himself back to his team’s ship, dropping it in the water in the process. Ploque tries throwing saws after him, but none hit.
Glendale: “That guy wasn’t nice at all!”
King Julien: “I know, what a jerk! Well, there’s not much we can do about him. Instead, we must focus on persevering through our loss and getting to the end!”
Glendale audibly agrees with the sentiment, while Ploque silently nods as a response.
King Julien: “Now, onwards we go!”
Cut to BFDI’s boat, where Blocky has just relanded.
King Dedede: “Wow, you just wiped out an entire team’s boat!”
Blocky: “I like to consider myself a great prankster.”
Most of the members congratulate Blocky’s ‘funny doings’... Red just stares in horror.
Sundew: “Look, you may not like it, bean guy, but we have to do this to sustain our place in this competition. I’m not a fan of killing people left and right either, but there’s no choice.”
Red looks over the edge of the boat, having conflicting morals.
Sundew: “...Look on the bright side. We’re the ones with Blocky. Being on a team with him is the safer option.”
This doesn’t ease Red at all… he does give a weak thumbs up in response, clearly not sure of himself.
Boss then yells out to the rest of the team.
Boss: “WE’VE REACHED LAND!”
And indeed they have. The entire team gets off.
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “Congrats, you’ve gotten second place, Blocky’s Funny Doings International!”
Cheering comes from most of the team, except the obvious two outliers.
Nikoly: “Do we get a prize for finishing?”
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “Well, you don’t go up for elimination.”
Nikoly: “Fair enough.”
Cut to IDIOT’s fleet. They’re relaxing at this point, since RCoKJ is so far behind they don’t have a chance of catching up.
Charlie the Unicorn: “Do you guys plan on getting off me at some point?”
Charles: “Hey, don’t be rude! I’m sure they’re only there because there’s no available seats.”
Amelia nods as a confirmation.
Charlie the Unicorn: “Still, it makes me feel like I’m being used as a tool.”
Charles: “Hey, don’t say that! You’re as much of a team member as the rest of us!”
Charlie the Unicorn: “Sure, sure, whatever.”
Hyehehe is drinking the water… Is that even safe? Eh, who cares, it’s Hyehehe.
Blue points up ahead, where the shore is visible.
Science Bear: “Oh, grand! We seem to be nearing the end of this contest!”
Eventually, the four boats make it to the end, and everyone gets out.
Charlie the Unicorn: “You can get off now.”
Amelia and Stanley get off Charlie.
Amelia: “Sorry for falling on your back…”
Charlie the Unicorn: “Apology… accepted, I suppose. But don’t do that again, please.”
Over at the rest of the team, Koe congratulates them getting third.
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “Great job, IDIOT! Now we’re down to Cool Friends and-”
Test Tube: “Mr. Koe, Cool Friends is already here…”
Test Tube motions to Amelia and Stanley, who are idly sitting on the floor.
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “Oh. Where’s their teammates, and their boat?”
Science Bear: “Their vessel crashed down into the water from attacks, and these two escaped by hopping onto our own boats. The status of their teammates is unknown to us.”
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “What a bummer! That completely disqualifies their team!”
Test Tube: “Isn’t that a bit harsh? They still got to the end-”
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “However, they did not arrive in their boat, meaning Royal Circle of King Julien rightfully earns fourth place.”
Test Tube: “Yeah, true.”
Blue walks over to the surviving members of CF and pats them both on the back, showing his condolences for their loss.
Amelia: “It’s… it’s fine.”
That was quite the unfortunate time. Being the first team to lose isn’t what I had hoped for, but that’s life, ain’t it, Stanley? Stanley- oh, you’re… you’re sleeping now. Thanks. Really nice.
Indeed, Stanley has fallen asleep. Blue slowly lays a blanket of wool onto him, then steps away.
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “With the challenge over, it’s time to bring back all the dead contestants, plus those still out at sea.”
Koe snaps, and all the dead contestants appear, along with King Julien, Glendale, and Ploque.
Spider-Ham: “I don’t think I want to die ever again.”
Donkey: “Agreed!”
The now-revived members of CF head over to Amelia and Stanley.
N: “Aw, we’re the first up for elimination. I thought we had this in the bag!”
Pizza Steve: “I’m glad that at least some of us dudes survived, at the least.”
Flowey: “...I’m still pissed about being put in a pot.”
Golurk glares at the water with a malicious glint in its eyes.
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “Tough luck, Cool Friends. But one of you will have to end up eliminated!”
Wheatley: “How are we supposed to choose who to vote off? It’s a preposterous idea that I’d want to banish one of my own teammates to who knows where!”
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “Silly core, the contestants aren’t the ones voting!”
Pizza Steve: “It’s viewers or something, right?”
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “Correct!”
Amelia whispers something under her breath that the others don’t catch.
Seriously, viewers? Are we being watched or something?
I… would think you would know this.
Shut your trap.
Nah
Wheatley: “One last question, what are viewers voting to do? Because I don’t want to be begging for votes and then get out because it’s voting to eliminate and not save!”
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “For elimination! Along with a little extra bonus vote that I’ll keep secret until the time comes.”
Wheatley: “Oo, secrets! I love secrets.”
Wheatley begins blabbering about something, while the rest of the team fiddles around.
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “So! Viewers! Vote one of these eight contestants to be eliminated, and one for… well, you’ll find that one out in the poll!”
VOTING LINK: [ENDED]
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “Hey! My favorite hand! How’s it going?”
The mechanical hand gives a thumbs up, having built ninety percent of the building it’s working on.
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “Good, good. Can’t wait to see it completed!”
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “For now, I’ll be waiting to see the votes roll in. Feel free to come by whenever you want!”
Koe walks away from the hand, as it continues construction.
Chapter 2: Episode 2 - Pipe Dream
Chapter Text
The episode starts with the members of RCoKJ sitting around in a circle, with King Julien standing upon a makeshift pedestal.
King Julien: “I apologize for the state of which our seating is in, but unfortunately I cannot afford something greater as of right now. Regardless, this shall be the first meeting of the Royal Circle!”
Applause comes from everyone… except Ploque and Rocket, who both silently sit and fiddle around with their weapons.
King Julien: “Now, the first thing I want to discuss is that we need to get citizens! As of right now, only us eight are members of the kingdom, and we must fix that - otherwise, it’s not a kingdom!”
Spider-Ham: “How are we going to do that, though? I hate to break it to you, but not everyone will go along with that…”
King Julien: “Glad you asked! The idea is that we take those who are more willing first. Then, we will begin going up the ranks with our additional power, until even the host himself is a citizen of our glorious lands!”
Lamb: “I’d like to volunteer for recruitment. I have a good history with it.”
King Julien: “Boom! That’s your job now!”
Lamb: “I won’t disappoint. I’ll make sure any recruit that I come across will join… And if not, I’ll bring in a little ‘bribery’.”
Glendale whispers to Spider-Ham.
Glendale: “That guy kinda freaks me out…”
Spider-Ham: “I agree!... …At least he’s on our side.”
In Ploque and Rocket’s section of the circle, Carl is chugging… hopefully not blood.
Carl: “Mm, tasty.”
Rocket peers over at Carl’s mug, and immediately gags at the sight.
Carl: “Hey, I’m just drinking.”
Rocket: “But it’s blood!”
Carl: “I’m thirsty. Gimme a break.”
Rocket scooches away from Carl, wanting to be as far away from him as possible.
Carl: “Hm, tough crowd.”
Ploque: “I’m not sure that’s even the right phrase for… that .”
King Julien uses a horn to catch everyone’s attention.
King Julien: “Alright, everyone, you’re dismissed! Everyone is free to go do what they want!”
Most of the members head off. Lamb stays behind.
Lamb: “I’m eager to get a head start on conver- recruitment. When can I begin?”
King Julien: “Feel free to start whenever you want, loyal subject! Though perhaps start small?”
King Julien shrugs in a ‘do-whatever-you-want-i-guess’ manner. Lamb nods gleefully.
Lamb: “I won’t let you down.”
Lamb heads off to begin gathering members of King Julien’s kingdom… and his own cult, also. King Julien is completely unaware of the second quest, however.
Cut to outside the doors of the under-construction building, where almost all of IDIOT is sitting around said doors. Blue walks by, holding some dirt blocks, when he notices this and is instantly confused, asking why everyone is just sitting in front of the doors.
Charlie the Unicorn: “I want to get inside as soon as possible because I’m sure if I don’t leave this monotone wasteland soon my eyes will fry from the endless grey.”
Charles: “...That was a bit overcomplicated but we’re just… Bored. And we want to get into the building as soon as possible.”
Science Bear: “I personally don’t care much about waiting out here for extra time, but I figured if most of us were already over here I’d join as to stick with the team.”
Blue nods in understanding, and then returns to going where he was heading.
Charles: “...What’s he doing with those cubes?”
Warrior: “Maybe he’s… building something?”
Test Tube gets up.
Test Tube: “I’ll solve this mystery. If the doors open for us to enter, however, please do find me and bring me over as soon as you can.”
Warrior: “Got it!”
Warrior gives a thumbs up, as Test Tube follows after Blue.
Over where Blue went, a large farm seems to have been built, growing various crops on it. Blue seems to be adding a tenth layer to the farm while snacking on nether wart, not having noticed Test Tube followed him. The living object looks around the farm without alerting Blue of her present, clearly in awe of his skills. Eventually, Blue finishes up the tenth layer, and water bucket clutches down to the floor - then turns and sees Test Tube face to face. He instinctively freaks out and falls backwards.
Test Tube: “Oh geez- sorry, I didn’t mean to scare you!”
Blue gets back up after realizing it’s just his teammate, and gives an apologetic thumbs up. He then motions to his farm, clearly proud of it, and perhaps asking if Test Tube likes it.
Test Tube: “I didn’t even know this was scientifically possible - each layer is just… floating! Without supports! How did you manage to do this? I need to experiment with this ability!”
Blue opens up their inventory and shows it to Test Tube, with the Minecraft icon being seen within it. Blue then moves the icon to their hotbar and demonstrates it being able to generate blocks and items by spawning in heaps of various things.
Test Tube: “...How’d you discover this?”
Blue implies it’s a long story.
Test Tube: “Please tell me when you can, this is-”
Test Tube seems to be a loss for words. Blue just nods, and begins harvesting some of the crops when a voice echoes throughout the blank plain, catching both contestants off guard.
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “Everyone, please come to the building! It’s now open and I’d like to give a tour of the important parts!”
Blue quickly replants what they had already gathered, and both him and Test Tube return to the entrance.
Insert a time skip here where every contestant has arrived at the doors of the building, as Koe stands in front of it.
Flowey: “Why couldn’t we have waited inside?!”
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “Wanted to have it be a complete surprise to everyone, of course!”
Flowey: “Dumb reason but okay.”
Koe opens the doors… which are just tall enough to accommodate for the two largest contestants when they’re crouching.
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “Everyone, come inside! And please don’t cause any property damage, we just finished this and I’d be mad…”
The contestants flood inside after Koe, entering a pretty nice-looking lobby.
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “Welcome to the lobby! There’s nothing super interesting here, you can just sit around here as a general meeting zone if nowhere else works.”
Koe motions for the contestants to follow him down a series of hallways, passing by a plethora of assorted rooms. Some contestants begin to chat about the quantity of extra rooms within the building. The group then arrives at a large cafeteria.
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “Welcome to the cafeteria! This is where you can get some grub to eat - anything and everything you may want can be summoned here in this very room. You can also meet up with others here while you enjoy your food!”
Glendale: “ Anything? Even gigglecakes?”
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “Yes, even whatever those are. All types of meals across the multiverse are registered within a database!”
Glendale: “Yay!”
Blue scoffs at the food-summoning mechanisms, much preferring his own cooking.
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “Next up!”
Koe exits the cafeteria to come to a line of five hallways, all evenly spaced out.
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “These are where your rooms will be! Each contestant will have their own room - excluding duos that work as one, who will share a room instead. You’ll tell what hallway your team is in by the logos above the entrances, and each door has a name on it corresponding to its resident. I must add, under no circumstances may you trade rooms. For database reasons.”
Some contestants begin going towards the hallways, but Koe stops them with a comically large hand blocking the entrances.
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “Not yet! One more place we need to go!”
Koe leads everyone down another hall to a small waiting room, with a door straight across from him.
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “This is the waiting room for eliminations! After the team that is up for elimination gets through their daily routines and whatnot, they’ll come into here, where they will then be brought into the Elimination Station! And no, you can’t enter the Elimination Station without clearance, the door will fling you fifteen feet away if you even lay a finger on it.”
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “That’s all for the tour! I’ll give you all two hours to either settle down in your rooms or discover the many more rooms within the complex. Seeya!”
Koe snaps himself out of the room, leaving the contestants to head off and spread themselves throughout the building…
The entire team of IDIOT heads to their hallway immediately to set up their rooms as soon as possible. All the members enter their rooms… unknown to Warrior, however, Lamb snuck into his room beforehand.
Warrior: “Aw, this place is pretty empty. Just a bed… a bookshelf with nothing on it-”
Lamb pops out from behind the bookshelf.
Lamb: “Hello there.”
Warrior: “AGH-”
Warrior fumbles and points his sword at Lamb, being caught off-guard.
Lamb: “Chill, I’m not here to harm you.”
Warrior: “Then why are you here? This is my room!”
Lamb: “I simply have a proposal.”
Lamb: “I’ve been asked by his majesty King Julien to recruit citizens for his kingdom. I myself need members of my… ‘religion’ . I came here to ask if you would like to join both.”
Warrior: “Uh…”
Warrior contemplates the proposal.
Lamb: “If you would like a little sweetening on the deal, I’ll give you special clearance to freely fight those who take offense against our king’s empire!”
Warrior: “Okay, that’s a deal!”
Lamb: “Splendid. I shall now be taking my leave.”
Lamb leaves Warrior alone in the room.
Warrior: “...Hopefully I don’t regret this!”
Cut to a plain room with mats in it. Amelia, Kris, N, and Pizza Steve are all in the room seemingly doing yoga… or at least, N is trying to. Failing horribly. Stanley and Wheatley are also in the room, watching. Flowey peers in.
Flowey: “What the hell are you guys doing?”
N: “It’s something Amelia showed us! It’s called yoo… ya… ye…”
Pizza Steve: “Yoga, N. Yoga.”
N: “Yeah that! It’s supposed to clear your mind of bad thoughts or something.”
Flowey: “Lame! Me and Golurk are going to the training room. Join us if you don’t want to be bored out of your mind!”
Flowey leaves, as Golurk loudly stomps by. N raspberries at the two.
Wheatley: “What inconsiderate people!”
In the training room, Flowey and Golurk absolutely DEMOLISH the punching bags. Literally nothing but debris left.
Flowey: “...Hey, you think we gotta pay for these?”
Golurk shrugs and slams the remains of one of the punching bags deep into the floor.
Cut to Plankton and Nacho in the cafeteria. Plankton keeps trying to order food but Nacho interrupts with additions that make it practically inedible.
Plankton: “Okay, okay, give me a burger-”
Nacho: “Dip it in hot sauce.”
A hot sauce-covered burger appears.
Plankton: “I SWEAR TO NEPTUNE IF YOU DO THIS ONE MORE TIME-”
Nacho: “...What do you plan on doing?”
Plankton realizes he doesn’t actually have an idea of what to do.
Plankton: “SCREW OFF!”
Nacho: “Mmm… no thanks.”
From a table on the right of the room, Artificer, Bowser, the Knight, and Plasma Ball are all eating while watching the feud.
Bowser: “Bets on when he gives in and punches the chip? I’m going five minutes, personally.”
Plasma Ball: “Three minutes, give or take.”
Artificer: “...Are you guys really betting on that?”
Bowser: “Hey, it’s the best entertainment we have right now!”
Artificer: “I wouldn’t consider that entertainment. Moreso being bystanders of harassment .”
Bowser: “You’re no fun.”
Plasma Ball: “It’s not harming us! Why do you care so much?”
Artificer: “It will harm us in the long run. ‘Nacho’ - or whatever her name is - removed the entire bottom floor of the boat just to piss off the ‘Plankton’ guy. It’ll get worse and worse until we’re all kicked out of this and who knows what’ll happen when we’re eliminated?”
The Knight shows alignment with Artificer’s points.
Bowser: “If needed I can just crush them and get them out of sight so we don’t have to deal with contest-losing crap.”
Artificer: “That’s not much better.”
Plasma Ball: “You guys really know how to kill the mood.”
Artificer: “I’m only telling the truth which you two clearly don’t want to hear.”
The Knight seems to have an idea, and air-writes it to Artificer. Neither Bowser nor Plasma Ball can understand.
Artificer: “That could work… I’ll try it later.”
Bowser: “Now what are you planning?”
Artificer: “You’ll see. Then you’ll be glad I enacted it. …I will clarify it has no direct effects on either of you, I’m not needlessly spiteful.”
On the other side of the cafeteria, most of BFDI is having a whole ass FEAST. Sundew and Red, however, are at a different table next to the rest of the team, Sundew barely eating and Red without food at all.
Sundew: “...Shouldn’t you at least eat something?”
Red: “I don’t need to eat much. …Not hungry anyways.”
Sundew: “Lemme guess, you’re still thinking about Blocky’s stunt yesterday. I’m not the type to give much advice on these things, but try to think about other things that aren’t as… personally traumatizing.”
Sundew finishes her food.
Sundew: “Don’t ask me about any other help, though, I’m not a therapist. Go ask someone else.”
Sundew gets up and leaves Red alone. He lays his head down on the table, watching the rest of BFDI joke around as they eat their food. Red sighs, already wishing to return home…
Cut to Ploque glumly laying down in the bed in her room, mindlessly tossing saws into the roof. Donkey casually enters without knocking.
Donkey: “Hey, what’s u-”
Ploque: “What- you could’ve knocked first???”
Donkey: “Nobody else called me out but got it!”
Donkey: “Aaaanyways, what’s up, teammate? You haven’t been saying much, just wanting to make sure all us people are going good!”
Ploque: “Fine…”
Donkey: “Nice. I’m going to go get food for the team, want something?”
Ploque: “...No thanks, not hungry.”
Donkey: “Suit yourself!”
Donkey gleefully trots out of the room, closing the door loudly.
Over the two hours the teams become at least partially acquaintanced with the building’s layout… the time for the elimination eventually comes. Cut to CF sitting around in the waiting room. Koe opens the door.
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “Apologies for keeping you all waiting - I got caught up in some business - but we can do the elimination now! Hooray!”
Confetti falls from the roof.
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “Better yet, this is the first elimination, so I’m pretty excited! You guys ready?”
N: “Uh…”
Pizza Steve: “Not at all, bro.”
Flowey: “Hell if I know!”
Frankly, that’s a stupid question.
Amelia: “N-no…”
Kris shrugs. Golurk remains silent. And Wheatley…
Wheatley: “Of course! What an exhilarating experience, isn’t it, lads? Well, I would’ve preferred not being the first team to go up for elimination, but it is undoubtedly an interesting scenario-”
Flowey: “Okay, we get it, shut up.”
Wheatley: “I feel offended!”
Flowey: “That’s the point .”
Pizza Steve: “Okay, break it up, let’s just deal with the elimination. Got it, dudes?”
Flowey: “Fine!”
Wheatley: “Oh, thank you!”
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “This is going off track let’s go now-”
Koe leads the members of CF into the elimination room. There’s eight seats, which the contestants sit upon. A holographic screen appears to the left of Koe, and there’s… a roulette wheel on his right also?
N: “Hey, what’s the wheel for?”
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “Glad you asked! That’s actually the second thing viewers are voting for - a chance to spin the Incredible Wheel of Luck! Or IWoL for short. It can give you anything from a neat little prize to a boost in the next challenge to a helping hand in the elimination! Though, some of those last ones may have… drawbacks… You’ll find those out when the time comes, though. Let’s get to the votes!”
Koe claps, and a graph appears on the hologram.
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “There’s nineteen total votes, which is a pretty good count for episode one! We’ll start with votes for spinning the IWoL. First off!...”
The bars of Golurk and Pizza Steve remain at zero.
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “Zero votes went towards Golurk and Pizza Steve.”
Golurk groans with distaste.
Pizza Steve: “Sucks hard.”
Next, the bars of Flowey, Kris, and N all rise by a small amount.
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “These three all got just a singular vote. For vote reasons that went towards these contestants…”
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “For Kris, we have ‘Moss’. Plain and simple!”
Kris, who is chewing on moss, stops for a moment.
N: “...Is that safe to eat?”
Flowey: “Probably not but it’s funny.”
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “For Flowey, we have ‘It's Flowey, either it's good due to me liking him, or bad due to Omega Flowey being absolutely horrifying.’.”
Pizza Steve: “Omega Flowey? What’s that?”
Flowey: “Long story I refuse to tell.”
Wheatley: “Hey, don’t leave us hanging, I wanna know!”
Flowey: “No. :)”
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “And for N, we have ‘It's a hard choice between the characters on this team since all have their perks (minus Golurk), but ultimately I have to go with N. Him and Pizza Steve are easily the most plot relevant characters on the team, and N has more going for him in other aspects.’.”
N: “I didn’t understand that much but thanks!”
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “The last three members of this team have at least two vote reasons each, so I’ll read those out before continuing!”
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “For Stanley, we first have ‘I don’t know.’.”
…Is that all it says? I’m a bit disappointed, honestly- wait, does ‘Koe’ or whatever his name is not know about me at all? Seriously? He’s the host, he should know I’m here but I guess not- Stanley. Stanley that joke sucked.
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “And secondly, we have ‘idk’.”
Now this! This is just plain ridiculous!
L
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “And for Wheatley we start with ‘Good luck spinning it without any arms lmao’.”
Wheatley: “Hey! Not funny!”
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “The second reason - for the time being - is ‘Funny’.”
Wheatley: “...Was that on purpose? Because that was funny, actually!”
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “Not intentional but you do raise a good point!”
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “Finally, for Amelia, we have ‘
__
_/ \
| ▓▓
\▓▓▓▓
| ▓▓
| ▓▓
_| ▓▓_
| ▓▓ \
\▓▓▓▓▓▓’.”
N: “Woah, you can speak symbols?!”
Pizza Steve: “Why a one?”
Amelia: “...Long story…”
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “And before I reveal the third placer, the final vote reason for now is ‘Funny traumatized candle is funny.’.”
Silence.
…That explains a lot, actually.
Pizza Steve: “Is… is that part of the long story, bro?”
Amelia silently nods.
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “Okay let’s get onto the votes…”
The three remaining bars in the graph rise, but the bar for Stanley rises only to three.
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “Stanley only got three votes, bringing us to Amelia and Wheatley as the final two! There’s three more vote reasons to read for the both of you, so let’s get those over with before the final count.”
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “Beginning with Wheatley, we have ‘I love Wheatley. -Daylight’.”
Wheatley: “Thank you, viewer named Daylight! I give my gratitude!”
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “Next, we have ‘There’s... no way for Wheatley to spin this normally, isn’t it?’.”
Wheatley: “:(”
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “And finally, we have ‘Spinnnnn’.”
Wheatley spin
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “Then for Amelia, we first have ‘I LOVE AMELIA PLATONICALLY!!!!!!’.”
Amelia: “...Thanks.”
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “Next is ‘she’s cool’. Surprising that there’s less mocking than Wheatley’s vote reasons.”
Wheatley: “Rude! I’ll have you know that-”
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “Shush.”
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “The last vote reason is ‘They are my favorite (ONE was an amazing show.)’.”
Pizza Steve: “Now I’m even more confused, a show?”
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “If you think about it long enough it’ll hurt your brain so just ignore it!”
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “Time for the drumroll…”
A drumroll begins…
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “Amelia gets to spin the IWoL, with seven votes! Wheatley only got six.”
Wheatley: “Dang!... But hey, good job!”
Amelia: “Uh, thanks, I guess?...”
Koe drags Amelia over to the wheel.
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “Now! Spin it!”
Amelia: “Ack- ok, ok…”
Amelia slowly spins it, and it lands on…
‘Free immunity for the next elimination’
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “Congrats! Now you’ll instantly be safe next time your team goes up for elimination.”
Amelia: “That’s… okay.”
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “With the wheel spun, we can get to the elimination votes! So hold onto your hats, friends, because now one of you will be getting gone!”
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “Starting with those with zero votes, both Kris and Stanley received no votes at all!”
Koe summons in two slices of bread and throws them at the safe contestants. Kris is hit in the face by the bread thrown at them, and the bread thrown at Stanley misses and hits the wall.
Bread??? I don’t even want to question this at this point.
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “Next up, Flowey only received one vote!”
Koe throws bread at Flowey, who dodges.
Flowey: “Why the hell are you throwing bread at us???”
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “It’s the prize for being safe!”
Flowey: “That is a horrible reason.”
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “Don’t care!”
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “For the singular vote reason you received, we have ‘Is a Lil shit’.”
Flowey: “I will kick the ass of whoever wrote that!”
N: “...You don’t have legs though?”
Flowey: “IT’S A SAYING, SMARTASS.”
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “...Moving on…”
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “Next safe from elimination is N with only 2 votes!”
Koe flings N’s bread slice at ridiculously high speeds, throwing N into the wall.
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “oops”
N: “Ow, that hurt!”
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “Apologies!”
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “For vote reasons, the first one is ‘murder drone? more like... murder.... dumb (pronounced like dome)
also mr hohzd draw stanley do it do it do it do it’. I’m not doing it, you can’t make me!”
N runs back from the wall.
N: “I’m not a murder dumb!”
Flowey: “Wrong.”
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “And the other reason is ‘One letter name mf’.”
Pizza Steve: “...Well, they have a point. Why is your name just a letter, bro?”
N: “I wish I knew but I do not!”
Pizza Steve: “Damn.”
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “And last safe before the final three is Pizza Steve with three votes!”
Pizza Steve: “Finally! Nice!”
Koe throws bread at Pizza Steve, which bounces off his crust.
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “One vote reason for Pizza Steve was ‘I love Wheatley to much to vote him out, and I hated Uncle Grandpa. -Daylight’.”
Pizza Steve: “Don’t diss my man Uncle Grandpa like that, come on!”
Flowey: “Whoever that is wins the ‘Stupidest Name Ever’ contest, that’s a terrible name.”
N: “Oh, there’s a Stupidest Name Ever contest?”
Flowey: “...”
Flowey: “It’s a joke you braindead robot.”
N: “:(“
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “Next reason is ‘This was the team that I didn’t want to lose the most:( ( by the way senty you are really cool)’.”
Flowey: “Who the hell is Senty???”
Amelia… chooses to stay silent about that.
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “And… oh, we don’t actually have a third reason. Dang.”
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “Well, looks like we’re onto the final three - Amelia, Golurk, and Wheatley!”
Spotlights shine on the three. Amelia is curled up in a ball, Golurk groans uninterestedly, and Wheatley is blabbering about how he doesn’t want to get out.
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “Two of you got four votes, while the other got five!”
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “For vote reasons, starting with Amelia, we have ‘Sorry, but I only really know about Golurk and Flowey here! Amelia just seems the most forgettable, no offence!’.”
Amelia: “That’s… that’s fair…”
Flowey: “Ha! I’m popular!”
Golurk smacks Flowey.
Flowey: “Ow, fucking hell man-”
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “Next reason is ‘ONE traumas! :D’.”
Pizza Steve: “Okay, after the challenge, can you at least give us a bit of insight on this? I’m growing more and more concerned, bro.”
Amelia: “...Alright.”
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “Lastly, we have ‘I don't know who she is and she has the blandest design in my opinion.’. I guess it’s a matter of not being very well-known!”
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “Going to Golurk, we start with ‘They were the worst out of all them.’.”
Golurk huffs.
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “Then, we have ‘Most characters on this team have some sort of potential plot relevance, and Wheatley's got his humor going for him. But Golurk... Golurk's just a stand-in for what could have been a better character. The only things Golurk does is kick people and turn into a flower pot, seriously, they could have at least helped in the challenge more. Plus, unlike other dialogue-less characters, Golurk's actions don't help make them interesting. All in all a waste of a team spot.’. Damn this guy wrote a whole paragraph about Golurk.”
Golurk tries punching the hologram, but just hits the wall.
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “Hey, my wall!”
Koe pushes Golurk back to their seat.
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “There we go, no more wall touchers.”
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “Lastly for Golurk, we have ‘they'll be annoying soon’.”
Golurk gives another attempt, but Koe grabs their fist.
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “Nuh uh.”
Golurk gets blasted to the other side of the room.
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “That aside, let’s get to Wheatley’s vote reasons!”
Wheatley: “Oh dear, I’m a bit scared of what they have in store, my other voting reasons were insulting in their own right and they were meant to be helpful!”
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “We begin with ‘Balls.’. Haha.”
Wheatley: “Can we even say that?”
Flowey: “We’re throwing around swears left and right, saying balls a few times ain’t going to do anything!”
Wheatley: “Hm, yeah, fair point!”
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “Next, ‘Reminds me of a weapon spy uses called the AP-SAP’.”
Wheatley: “Oh, the guy from Team Fortress 2? I know him! Doesn’t soften the insult though, but hey, it’s not too bad!”
Flowey: “What the fuck is Team Fortress 2”
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “And finally, we have… ‘GASP!! NEW SEASON?????!?!!!???!? OMGA!!! profily isnt here :( BUT I LIKE THIS CAST!! AMELIA IS COOL AND I LIKE HER PLATONICALLY :DDD AND ALSO I RLLY LIKE BLUE. BLUE IS MY FAVORITE AVM...PERSON....CHARACTER????? ALSO I RLLY LIKE TEST TUBE AND BLOCKY!!! I FUCKING LOVE BLOCKY SM!!!!! PLATONICALLY!!!! - starry (i dont know if im supposed to sign this but its too late now)’. Oh, a familiar face! Nice to see. Well, read.”
Pizza Steve: “Who’s this ‘Profily’ person, host bro? And… why did that have absolutely nothing to do with Wheatley?”
Wheatley: “No complaining! I’d take a vote reason that doesn’t talk about me over one that belittles me! ...I dunno any Profile Pictures or whatever, though.”
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “Contestant in the last season, that’s off topic though, it’s time to reveal who’s out!”
Another drumroll, and…
Amelia has four votes,
Wheatley also has four,
and Golurk has five.
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “Oof, tough luck. Golurk’s out of the game!”
Golurk does an insurmountable amount of ‘swearing’ which kinda just sounds like creaking doors. Koe flings bread slices at Amelia and Wheatley, knocking them both off their seats.
N: “What’s going to happen to them since they’re out?”
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “Good question!”
Koe spawns in a grey orb.
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “Meet the Temporary Holder of Eliminated, or the THoE. Anyone who gets voted out will be kept in here until either the competition finishes or they rejoin the game! And it’s quite easy to get someone in- watch!”
Koe taps the grey orb, which shoots a beam at Golurk, seemingly vaporizing them.
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “Don’t worry, it doesn’t hurt.”
Pizza Steve: “...They just straight up got vaporized.”
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “AS I SAID IT DOESN’T HURT”
Pizza Steve: “Okay, jeez, dude-”
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “Now let’s go! It’s time to begin the next challenge!”
Koe gleefully skips out of the room, and CF slowly follows afterwards.
Cut to outside the building, where the entire cast - bar Golurk, due to being eliminated - is standing outside, as Koe creates a pedestal to stand upon as he announces the next challenge.
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “With the elimination completed, it’s now time for challenge two in the competition! This time, your challenge will be to earn lots of money, tycoon-style! The team with the least money in thirty minutes will go up for elimination and lose a member. It’s very simple, so I don’t have much to explain - so we can begin now!”
Koe claps, and the teams are summoned into a grassy field. Each team is stationed at a plot of land consisting of… just a grey floor… and a green button, conveyor belt, and money collection pad.
Cut to RCoKJ, where King Julien is inspecting the plot.
King Julien: “I must be frank with you all, I’m not sure at all about what we’re meant to do here!”
Ploque stands over the green button.
Ploque: “Maybe this button will do something?”
Ploque taps it, and a dropper appears, creating blocks that go through the conveyor belt and into a pit. Each block generates a bit of money.
Ploque: “Oh, that worked!”
King Julien: “Great job, now we can begin building this money maker up!”
More green buttons appear, with prices floating over them.
Glendale: “Hey, there’s more buttons!”
King Julien: “Well, what are you guys waiting for? Let’s get pressing!”
And so the team begins pressing buttons as fast as they can, though most of them are decorative so it’s… not very helpful.
Cut to IDIOT, where Science Bear has quickly figured out how things work.
Science Bear: “It seems pressing these buttons will spend our money to upgrade this plot. I would recommend only getting things that are entirely necessary, as we don’t want to end up last due to buying things that are purely for aesthetics-”
Science Bear quickly gets interrupted by Hyehehe, who has concocted a devious plan and is now loudly messing with the money counter. Charles and Warrior run over to try and stop them.
Charles: “What are you doing, you’re going to break it!”
Warrior: “We can’t repair it if it’s broken, we won’t have it to know how much money we have!”
Hyehehe: “...”
Hyehehe: “L + ratio + didn’t ask”
Hyehehe kicks Charles and Warrior all the way to the other side of the plot, then successfully opens up the machine counting the amount of money. They begin messing with the wires, with no one daring to stop them…
Hyehehe: “Hyehehehehehehe! We will be supreme in this challenge now!”
Turns out, Hyehehe hacked the counter so the team now has a trillion dollars. Wow.
Test Tube: “...There’s no way that’s allowed.”
Charlie the Unicorn: “Whatever, I’d rather get an easy win than begrudgingly dealing with a boring slog.”
Charles and Warrior get back to the others.
Charles: “Yeah… he has a point, honestly…”
Science Bear: “Unfortunately, there’s no going back on it, regardless of the ethics or fair play. We’re stuck with the hacked money, so it would be wise to make do with it. I will suggest we still purchase things so as to not look suspicious to Mr. Koe Hohzd, however.”
Blue nods in agreement with Science Bear.
Test Tube: “Alright, I guess we can deal with that! Let’s just hope there’s no negative consequences…”
And so, the team begins to build up the plot with their illegitimately large amount of money…
Cut to NNIT, where Bill Cipher is once again being a lazy ass.
Bill Cipher: “Go and make money, I’m going to sleep this one through.”
Artificer: “Seriously?! Can you just help us for once you giant idiot pyramid-”
Bill Cipher begins snoring, as he has fallen asleep.
Artificer: “...I give up. Ugh.”
Bowser: “I’m starting to regret joining this team, with how much of an incompetent asshole this guy is.”
Plasma Ball: “Same here.”
The Knight imitates a groan with the scratching of their nail against the ground, and presses the green button to create the first dropper, beginning the money-making process.
Artificer: “Are you three okay with doing this without me? I need to make sure the two mentally-5-year-olds don’t screw anything up.”
Artificer points to Plankton and Nacho over on the other side of the plot, where Nacho is intentionally aggravating Plankton.
Bowser: “We’ll suffice.”
Plasma Ball: “Sounds good to me, I guess.”
The Knight nods, and Torch God makes a thumbs up.
Artificer: “Alright, good. I’ll be off now.”
Artificer heads over to the other two team members. Plankton is now retaliating against Nacho.
Plankton: “ALL THE TIME you’re like ‘Hey, I’m gonna go piss Plankton off! Ha ha ha this is so funny!’ when I did ABSOLUTELY NOTHING TO YOU!”
Nacho: “Your reactions are a little funny.”
Plankton: “SERIOUSLY?! THAT is your reasoning?!”
Nacho: “I’m an honest object.”
Plankton: “Okay, you have FIVE SECONDS before I BASH YOUR HEAD IN-”
Artificer gets in-between the two fighting contestants.
Artificer: “Nobody is bashing anyone’s head in.”
Nacho: “Damn.”
Plankton: “WHY ARE YOU DEFENDING HER?!”
Artificer: “I’m defending both of you from each other, actually. The whole team as well. Because you two clearly cause issues due to your unrelenting hate for each other. And before long, this team will be burnt into ashes partly due to your incompetence in competing and preferring to mindlessly bicker as if you were slugpups. So here’s the deal - I will be watching over you for as long as it takes for you two to get your acts together and at least cooperate rather than cause chaos.”
Plankton: “And why do I need to listen to you?”
Nacho: “Same here…”
Artificer: “If we lose to your incessant feuds, you two would easily be the ones on the chopping block. And I’m sure neither of you would want to get taken out of the game so early just because of petty hatred.”
Plankton: “...Barnacles, you’re right.”
Plankton: “Fine. I’ll cease. But only if she agrees.”
Nacho: “I really don’t have a choice, do I… I guess I’ll stop.”
Artificer: “Thank you. Now come over to the rest of us and help get this stupid challenge over with.”
Artificer heads back, as Plankton and Nacho follow her - with Artificer keeping a very close eye on the two to make sure no fighting occurs.
Cut to CF, where the team has quickly made progress, so as to not lose for the second time in a row. The entire first floor is already complete.
N: “Hey, we’re doing pretty good this time!”
Pizza Steve: “Probably because nobody’s blowing us or our stuff up.”
N: “True, true.”
Wheatley, keeping track of the money, yells up the staircase to N.
Wheatley: “Hey, team members, we’re at three thousand! We can buy that dropper upstairs now!”
N: “Ooh, nice!”
N steps on a green button and buys the dropper.
N: “How are things going down there with the others, my mechanical pal?”
Wheatley: “Pretty good! We’ve got some good production, and Flowey also implemented a moat for some reason.”
Flowey pops up on the staircase.
Flowey: “Anyone could attack us at any time, why wouldn’t I do that?”
Pizza Steve peers over the side to look at the moat, then turns to look at Flowey.
Pizza Steve: “At least one person on each team can avoid that, dude. That won’t really do much.”
Flowey: “Aw, come on!”
Flowey goes back into the ground, appearing outside to improve the moat.
Pizza Steve: “Well, back to waiting for the next cashout, dudes…”
Silence.
N: “...Wanna play go fish?”
Pizza Steve: “Sure, why not?”
Meanwhile, on the bottom floor, the remaining three members are sitting around, due to N and Pizza Steve carrying the challenge.
Amelia: “...It’s creepily quiet here…”
Unfortunately, both fellow contestants cannot speak so there are no answers.
Excuse you, ma’am, I can in fact speak.
Okay well not to Amelia so…
Yeah, that’s quite fair.
…It would be wise to figure out something to do. Stanley, do you have any ideas? No? Well, that’s disappointing. I’m not sure of any activities to pass the time with myself.
Once again Stanley is facing upwards… and Kris notices. Using a piece of paper to write, they ask what Stanley is doing mindlessly staring at the ceiling.
Okay, Stanley, can you figure out some way of explaining? Maybe ask for paper and a pencil, since clearly the ‘Kris’ person has some?
And so Stanley asks for said objects via the act of pointing. Kris, understanding, pulls out another sheet of paper and a pencil for Stanley to use.
Just write it down as concisely as possible - and don’t you DARE insult me, Stanley. What do you MEAN no promises???
Regardless of the bickering, Stanley does write down the whole Narrator situation. Kris reads over the explanation, clearly understanding. Amelia finally notices the two conversing.
Amelia: “...Do you guys mind if I join in on your conversation? It’s… fine if not.”
Kris nods, then hands the paper Stanley wrote on to Amelia, who reads it with great focus.
Amelia: “That… explains a lot.”
I must be honest, I expected worse reactions to revealing this, but I’m glad these two are calm about it. I wouldn’t want to deal with any nagging. You agree, right, Stanley?
Alright, that’s that section over, time to cut to the next one-
Seriously?
Yes. Cut to BFDI, where Squid immediately takes initiative.
Squid: “Alright, members of this team. I’ll sort out the workload so that everything is as efficient as possible. You have one second to give objections.”
And there are no objections.
Squid: “Good, good. Now, here are the roles-”
Squid first turns to Boss, King Dedede, and Red.
Squid: “You three will be working on production and the general advancement of this establishment.”
Boss: “GOT IT.”
King Dedede: “Count me in!”
Red: “Alright, I can live with that.”
Squid then turns to Nikoly.
Squid: “You’ll be in charge of managing funds, making sure production tools are bought in a timely manner and ensuring nothing useless is purchased.”
Nikoly: “nice”
Next, Squid turns to Blocky and Woodie.
Squid: “You two-”
Lucy: “Three, actually!”
Woodie: “Don’t forget Lucy, mate.”
Squid: “Okay then- You three are given full permission to sabotage enemy teams.”
Blocky: “Perfect!”
Woodie: “That I can agree too. Lucy’s fine with that too, eh?”
Lucy: “You know it!”
Squid: “Finally.”
Squid floats over to Sundew.
Squid: “You and I will scout some of the other teams to make sure we don’t fall too far behind.”
Sundew: “Could be worse, I guess.”
Squid: “Now, everyone, off to your work!”
The team splits up to do their assigned jobs. Blocky and Woodie head off to hunt down another team’s base and mess with them…
Time skip, where all teams now have good progress. The two (well, three, including Lucy) BFDI members have arrived at NNIT’s base. Blocky sneaks into floor two, making sure it’s safe to enter, then gives the thumbs up for Woodie to enter. The two whisper for communication.
Blocky: “Alright, we need to figure out how to prank these guys big time. Got any ideas?”
Woodie: “Not particularly.”
Lucy: “Me neither…”
Blocky: “Let’s play it safe until we do, then-”
Blocky then steps on a button… purchasing a decorative item.
Blocky: “...Oops.”
Woodie: “Oh, great… I sure hope that didn’t take from our earnings.
Blocky: “Hold on, I have an idea. You two press one of the buttons, I’ll watch over the money counting thing.”
Blocky quietly walks over to the staircase and watches the money counter. Woodie presses the button, and NNIT’s money count goes down.
Blocky: “It’s spending their money.”
Woodie: “Great to hear.”
Lucy: “What are we waiting for, then? Let’s get buying!”
Blocky and Woodie (and Lucy, in spirit) begin pressing as many decor-purchasing buttons as they can with the intent to waste as much money as possible. They eventually start hitting downstairs, when…
Plasma Ball: “What’s all the ruckus down here-”
Plasma Ball walks down the stairs and sees Blocky and Woodie using the team’s money to buy things.
Plasma Ball: “ARE YOU KIDDING ME?!”
Blocky: “We’ve been caught!”
Woodie: “Oh, we’re done for.”
Lucy: “Just use me to get rid of this girl!”
Woodie: “Alright, on it!”
Woodie grabs Lucy and slices at Plasma Ball, who manages to dodge. She then runs up the stairs to alert the rest of NNIT.
Lucy: “That didn’t go according to plan.”
Woodie: “Well, we better head out before we’re killed.”
Blocky: “Wait a second, I have another prank idea!”
Blocky rips out a dropper and shoves it into the pit where blocks go, effectively disabling it for as long as the dropper remains wedged in.
Blocky: “Get as many as you can in!”
Blocky and Woodie quickly force all the droppers into the pit, ensuring that no blocks can enter the pit - the droppers are pretty damn stuck in there.
Blocky: “Good job, now let’s skedaddle!”
Blocky, Woodie, and Lucy escape just before Plankton runs down the stairs, seeing the mess that the invaders had caused.
Plankton: “Sweet Neptune, they’ve jammed the whole system!”
The rest of NNIT - bar Bill, of course - follows after Plankton, taking notice of the destroyed setup.
Bowser: “We leave this place unattended for a few minutes and we get royally screwed. The world is a cruel place.”
Artificer: “We should at least try to unjam the pit.”
Plankton: “No use. They’re stuck in there for good. I would know, I’m an inventor.”
Torch God makes a sad face.
Plasma Ball: “Well, what the hell are we supposed to do now?!”
Artificer: “Since Bill is a lazy bitch who doesn’t want to do anything, we’re practically done for. There’s no recovery from this.”
Bowser growls.
Bowser: “I swear on my life, we’ll make them pay for this.”
Artificer: “No use in trying to exact revenge this time around… no matter what we do, we’ll be the losers. But next challenge, we’ll bring them to their knees.”
Nacho: “Wow, you guys are angry.”
Plankton: “We have absolutely no clue what happens when we’re eliminated and now one of us is going. Do you expect us to be chill with this?-”
Artificer: “No. Fighting.”
Nacho and Plankton both quiet immediately.
Bowser: “Damn, you silenced them quick. How’d you manage that?”
Artificer: “It’s a bit of a story.”
Cut to IDIOT, where Squid and Sundew are spying in. IDIOT’s base is massive and luxurious.
Sundew: “This is stupid, can’t we just be helping the others back at our place?”
Squid: “Gathering intel is very important for decision making.”
Sundew: “Sure, sure, whatever.”
Squid manages to catch a glance of the money counter… it’s still insanely high.
Squid: “Dear lord.”
Sundew: “What?-”
Sundew takes notice also.
Sundew: “...I see.”
Squid: “We’re clearly not taking first place, that’s for sure. Maybe if we’re lucky we’ll get second again.”
Squid accidentally lays his sights on Enderman, who makes eye contact. Enderman starts screeching.
Squid: “Shit, we’ve been spotted. We’ve gotta flee.”
Squid begins to float away, but Enderman teleports onto him and starts beating the absolute SHIT out of the levitating face.
Squid: “JESUS CHRIST THIS HURTS-”
Sundew: “...Have fun, I’m not going to try and stop that.”
Sundew takes off, leaving Squid to get absolutely destroyed by Enderman. Eventually, the attack ceases, and Enderman gives a condescending glare before teleporting back in.
Squid: “Ow, fuck.”
More time skip because I have no idea what to do for the other two teams! Yay! It’s over now. Koe teleports into the middle, bringing every team in as well.
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “Good job, you all! The challenge is now over.”
Chatter begins among the contestants, and NNIT gives angry stares at Blocky and Woodie.
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “Now, since we’re all done, I’ll be revealing the rankings of the teams. First off…”
IDIOT’s money counter appears over Koe’s head, reading $934,718,532,190.
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “IDIOT is in first place by an astounding amount!”
Most of IDIOT celebrates, as the other teams - minus Squid and Sundew, who already knew - are left appalled by the sheer amount of dollars the team got.
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “Next up in the list of winners is…”
BFDI’s money counter appears next, reading $360,303,523.
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “Blocky’s Funny Doings International, in second place!”
Most of the team claps in celebration, including Red this time!
Squid: “Great to see our strategy paid off wonderfully.”
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “In third place is…”
CF’s money counter appears - $122,453,001.
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “Cool Friends!”
N: “Yay, we didn’t lose!”
Pizza Steve: “Not the best but not the worst. I can respect that outcome!”
Wheatley: “We have to have a celebratory feast or something! We didn’t go up for elimination again!”
Flowey: “That sounds stupid.”
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “Now, the final two teams… Royal Circle of King Julien…”
Most of RCoKJ sweats nervously.
King Julien: “I assure you all that we will be fine!”
Spider-Ham: “The other team is more powerful than us by a large margin, so I dunno…”
King Julien: “Who cares if they’re powerful? This isn’t about their strength or whatnot!”
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “And Not Naming It That…”
NNIT has clearly accepted their fate, except Bill Cipher, who is oblivious.
Bill Cipher: “What’s all the humdrum about, people? I expected you to get an easy win and here you all are acting like you got negative money!”
Bowser: “Long story, man.”
Plasma Ball: “It’s not that long, but yeah, it’s… definitely something.”
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “The team that got fourth place is…”
RCoKJ’s counter appears with $57,120,612.
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “Royal Circle of King Julien!”
King Julien: “Told you all!”
RCoKJ cheers, while NNIT’s attitude remains unchanged.
Bill Cipher: “Seriously? You idiots managed to lose?!”
NNIT’s counter appears with just $4,341,950.
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “Oof, that’s not much. Not Naming It That is officially the loser and will have a teammate eliminated!”
Bill Cipher: “Now this is just pathetic.”
Artificer: “It’s not our fault you ego-stroking triangle, some goons from that team-”
Artificer points to BFDI, more specifically Blocky and Woodie.
Artificer: “Invaded our base and broke the pit that the blocks are supposed to go in!”
Bill Cipher: “Excuses, excuses. You all are lucky I don’t snap your necks right now.”
Some of the team members leave Bill Cipher so as to not deal with his attitude. Torch God imitates a raspberry while fleeing.
Bill Cipher: “Pathetic losers. They’ll learn to get good and follow my will eventually…”
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “Alright, enough of that! It’s time to bring in the voting poll!”
VOTING LINK: [ENDED]
Lamb enters Plasma Ball’s room in the dead of night, waking her up. Plasma Ball throws a book at Lamb to get him to leave.
Plasma Ball: “What’s your business here? I’m trying to sleep…”
Lamb: “I’m only here for a proposal. I figured now would be a better time than any.”
Plasma Ball: “It’s midnight.”
Lamb: “Midnight, shmidnight. I don’t need to rest so the time is useless to me.”
Plasma Ball: “Whatever.”
Plasma Ball: “What even is your supposed ‘proposal’?”
Lamb: “I’ve been tasked by King Julien to bring people into his kingdom so he can have more subjects. He’s a nice guy, I would recommend it. And, I will admit I’m also planning on recruiting for my… cult.”
Plasma Ball: “Kingdoms? Cults? Not my type of thing. Now get out.”
Lamb: “Ah, you’ll see in due time the consequences of your rejection.”
Lamb slowly slides out, closing the door behind him.
Plasma Ball: “...Weirdo.”
Chapter 3: Episode 3 - Teams in Jeopardy
Notes:
upsilon makes worst pun ever, forced to leave ao3
Chapter Text
The episode starts with Blue snacking on some nether wart while chilling in a lawn chair. Science Bear and Test Tube are walking together nearby, nerding out about something, when Science Bear takes notice of the red fungus.
Science Bear: “Excuse me a moment, I must quickly ask Blue something.”
Test Tube: “Oh, that’s fine!”
Science Bear walks over to Blue, and taps his shoulder to grab his attention.
Science Bear: “If you are fine with me inquiring, what is that red object you’re currently eating? I’ve never seen anything like it in my life, I must admit.”
Blue is about to give an explanation when Hyehehe casually drifts down from the sky.
Hyehehe: “Nether Wart

Nether wart is a fungus harvested from nether wart crops and is used to plant them, as well as being vital in the creation of potions.
Nether wart crops are found in nether fortresses and bastions and is used to grow nether wart in soul sand.
Obtaining
Breaking
Nether wart can be mined instantly with any tool. A fully mature nether wart crop yields 2–4 nether wart. This is increased by one for each level of Fortune, this allows for a maximum of 7 nether warts dropping from one crop. Less mature stages drop one nether wart, even with the Fortune enchantment.
Natural generation
Nether wart can generate in nether fortresses in soul sand gardens around stairwells. Nether wart can also generate in the courtyards of housing unit bastion remnants. Due to only spawning in these specific structures, it's entirely possible for a nether fortress or bastion remnant to generate without nether wart (though they may still appear in the chests that generate in the fortress).”
Yeah, Hyehehe just recites the entire Minecraft Wiki article for nether wart.
Science Bear: “...Well, you’re not the one who I asked, but at least I know now, so nothing is lost in the end. Though, I will say, it doesn’t sound like it’s meant to be eaten - are you sure you should be consuming it, Blue? It could be poisonous or have other negative side-effects.”
Blue shrugs, stuffing more into his… non-existent mouth.
Science Bear: “Would you mind if I took a sample? I would like to know more about it than what the hyena has said.”
Blue gives a handful of nether wart to Science Bear, who takes it.
Science Bear: “Thank you. I’ll return with my findings in approximately a day. For now, I shall take my leave until the contest begins.”
Science Bear heads back to Test Tube to continue their conversation. Blue gives a confused look at Hyehehe, who does a funky dance while walking away backwards.
Pan over to where Hyehehe is heading. It passes by Flowey, who looks bewildered by the sight, and the rest of CF. N looks over after noticing Flowey looking in Hyehehe’s direction.
N: “What’s up?”
Flowey: “The weird ass hyena man is fucking moonwalking while dancing.”
N: “That sounds like quite the sight!”
Hyehehe continues further onwards.
Pizza Steve: “Everything about that dude seems off. Can’t be the only one that thinks that, right, bros?”
Amelia: “...Yeah, they’re… a little creepy…”
Sometimes I feel like Hyehehe is reading my thoughts. Which is proven to be impossible, since literally nobody besides you, Stanley, can hear me! Normally that’s not too bad, but in a collaborative competition it is pretty annoying.
Pizza Steve: “Hey, bro, you’re staring off into space again.”
Stanley was indeed facing upwards. Kris comes to his defense immediately, writing down ‘he has a reason for doing that’ on a piece of paper.
Wheatley: “Ooh, secret reasons! I love secret reasons for doing things! What is it?”
N: “Wouldn’t it not be a secret anymore?”
Wheatley: “Oh. True. But still! I wanna know why he does that.”
Kris begins to write, but Amelia explains before they can.
Amelia: “He has a… voice in his head, kinda... I think the voice is more of an external entity by how Stanley describes him?... That’s also why he doesn’t talk… since apparently the voice is more of a narrator? I don’t know too much, I’m just saying what Stanley wrote…”
Pizza Steve: “...Oh.”
N: “...Well, it’s nice we know that now, at least?”
Wheatley: “Admittedly, that sounds pretty nice! I’d like to have a voice in my head to talk with!”
Flowey: “You are that voice to everyone else on this team, Wheatley.”
Wheatley: “Awh…”
Kris writes ‘what were we even doing before that guy game around’.
Pizza Steve: “Unfortunately, bro, I can’t even remember.”
N: “Same…”
Flowey: “It was probably stupid.”
While they talk, a massive shadow falls down upon them… Wheatley is the only one who notices.
Wheatley: “Guys? Friends? Teammates? I think something bad is about to happen-”
Everyone but Amelia and Stanley is crushed by Bowser falling onto them. He’s… fighting with Boss again.
Bowser: “Augh, gross, now I have sauce and oil stuck on my back!”
Boss: “YOU DESERVE IT FOR BEING SUCH A FUCKING LOSER.”
Bowser: “I’ll make you eat those words, bitch!”
Boss: “I’D LIKE TO SEE YOU TRY, YOU USELESS REPTILIAN.”
Bowser and Boss continue fighting as they leave the scene. Yeah everyone that got crushed is dead.
Jesus christ.
Amelia stares traumatized, before curling into a ball.
I honestly don’t even know what to say. Just… unnecessarily gruesome.
Yeah that was. Oops
Over where the two giants are now fighting, Artificer, Knight, and Plasma Ball are trying to get Bowser to stop so they can get to the elimination.
Artificer: “Come on, this isn’t doing any good! If we wait too long we might get a penalty or some stupid thing.”
Bowser: “I can’t let this IMBECILE get away with their life!”
Boss: “AS IF I’M THE ONE WHO WILL BE FALLING.”
Bowser: “You truly underestimate me, you massive wimp.”
Knight and Plasma Ball are trying to drag Bowser away, with absolutely no success.
Plasma Ball: “Do we really have to do this?”
Artificer: “Would you rather have worse consequences?”
Suddenly, Boss catches on fire.
Boss: “HOLY SHIT-”
Boss sprints away, and eventually kinda just dies in the distance.
Bowser: “Whuh-”
Torch God makes a winky face. Yeah, they just burnt Boss to death. Wow.
Artificer: “...That was not expected by you but, I guess that works.”
Plasma Ball: “We should’ve just tried to kill the circle guy this entire time, look how effective it was!”
Artificer: “Useless bloodshed? No thanks. Now let’s just get out of here and in the elimination area.”
Cut to inside, where the five, plus Plankton and Nacho, are walking through the halls while looking for Bill Cipher.
Artificer: “Of course he’s the last person to show up. We need to get to the waiting room soon.”
Plasma Ball: “We could still just leave him behind!”
Artificer: “I’ve already explained this multiple times, Plasma Ball. It’s for the better. Even if I don’t like him myself.”
Plankton: “I don’t think any of us like him, actually.”
Nacho: “Mmhm.”
Artificer looks into a room, and sees Bill Cipher watching TV while drinking liquor. The TV shows another competition show holy shirt!!!
Artificer: “You’ve gotta be kidding me.”
Bill Cipher turns off the TV and turns around.
Bill Cipher: “Fancy meeting you here, team!”
Artificer: “Cut the crap. We need to go to the elimination.”
Bill Cipher: “ah.”
Bowser: “...You don’t usually act like this.”
Bill Cipher: “Probably cause I was drinking, but who cares?”
Artificer looks to one of the corners of the room… oh dear god there are so many bottles.
Artificer: “I think it’s a general problem.”
Bill Cipher: “Nah, it’ll be fine! Let’s just go lickity-split!”
Bill teleports everyone into the waiting room, just as Koe exits the door.
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “Hello, NNIT! Right on time!-”
Artificer: “Can we just get this over with?”
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “Mm, yeah, sure. I don’t have any monologues to go over, anyways.”
Koe leads NNIT into the elimination room and has them take a seat - except Bill, who decides to sit on the ceiling instead.
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “What’s up with him?”
Plankton: “Two words: Excessive drinking.”
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “Ah, yeah, that adds up! Not gonna do anything about it though. It’s funny. Plus, we gotta get to the elimination!”
Koe pulls up his graph hologram.
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “We got 20 total votes, which is one more than last time, so great job viewers! Keep it up!”
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “Now, starting with the good votes and not the bad ones, Plasma Ball is the only contestant to not receive any.”
Plasma Ball: “Seriously?! Even this guy got more?!”
Plasma Ball motions to Bill Cipher, who is now… playing the piano on the ceiling???
Plasma Ball: “...Okay I don’t think I even want to ask what he’s doing now.”
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “That’s how the crumble cookies, my friend.”
Plasma Ball: “That isn’t even how that phrase goes.”
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “Next with just one vote each, we have Bill Cipher and Nacho!”
Nacho: “Okay.”
Bill Cipher: “Gee willikers, that sucks!”
Artificer: “I’m not sure if I prefer this Bill over the normal one or not.”
Bowser: “I felt cringe run up my spine hearing that.”
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “Bill’s sole vote reason is ‘Dorito idek lol’.”
Bill Cipher: “Hey, I’m not a dorito!”
Bowser: “Wow, he at least has some sense in this drunken state.”
Bill Cipher: “Don’t mock me!”
Bill slams his piano down onto Bowser, which just breaks the piano and doesn’t hurt Bowser at all.
Bowser: “...Ouch?”
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “And for Nacho, her vote reason is ‘i like nacho from aib :D - starry’.”
Nacho: “Cool.”
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “Next, those with only two votes are Bowser, Plankton, and Torch God.”
Bowser: “That’s annoying.”
Plankton: “Come on!”
Torch God makes a :( face.
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “Bowser’s first vote reason is ‘literally the only one I know well’.”
Bowser: “Well, I guess that gives me some bonus points for being memorable. I won’t deny that compliment!”
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “The second reason is ‘He will be our president’.”
Bowser: “Well, I appreciate the offer, but I’m already a king so that isn’t that much of a different title.”
Artificer: “King of what?”
Bowser: “Koopas. I doubt you know what those are, though.”
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “Next, Plankton’s first reason is ‘Someone save Plankton from Nacho good lord’.”
Plankton: “Finally, someone that’s on my side, thank Neptune!”
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “Plankton’s second reason is ‘feel like not many people would vote for him, hesactually cool (minus the bickering with nacho but surely he can work on that) , ALSO hes puntable . sorry i just wanted tosay that ANYWAYS
ive decided that alongside starry i am going to sign off my shit because i like to be a little silly and henceforth will be known as
-the goober (because im too nervous to use my actual online name :tada:)’.”
Plankton: “For the foreseeable time being I don’t think Nacho will be pissing me off as muc- did you SAY I’M PUNTABLE???”
Nacho: “It’s true.”
Plankton: “I hope one day you are crushed like the pathetic being you are.”
Nacho: “Thanks.”
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “Finally, for Torch God, the first reason is ‘⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

also why does only torch god not get the special Purple Secondary Color in their icon. literally 1984’.”
In my defense Torch God doesn’t have a face so… can’t really have the other purple in there. Anyways Torch God gives a thumbs up.
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “The second vote reason for Torch God is ‘Bloo- I MEAN FIRE FOR THE FIRE GOD’.”
Torch God imitates a fire in approval of the vote reason.
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “Now, to the final two - Artificer and the Knight!”
Spotlights hit the finalists.
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “One of you received four votes, while the other received a whopping eight, which is double that!”
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “But before we get to the grand reveal, I’ll read out three reasons each, starting with the Knight’s votes - ‘knight my beloved /platonic’.”
Knight nods their head in acceptance.
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “Secondly, ‘I like his aesthetic.’.”
Same thing.
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “Third, ‘Slashy bug boi -Tayoga’.”
Yeah same thing again.
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “Now, onto Artificer, we’ll start with ‘She deserves it’.”
Artificer: “I appreciate the sentiment.”
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “Secondly, ‘She deserves something from stopping these two fighting (and putting up with everything), honestly.’.”
Artificer: “Hm, basically a more detailed version of the last one. But, I still approve of it.”
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “And lastly, ‘"Artificer some pretty good stuff for the team in my opinion, hope you get something good!!!" -Aveline’.”
Artificer: “I too hope that if I get the reward, it isn’t rubbish.”
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “Hey, trust me, I’d never put something bad on the wheel!”
Artificer: “I have my doubts.”
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “Suit yourself then. Hmph. …But, you’ll be getting a prize regardless, because you got the eight votes!”
Confetti rains from the ceiling.
Artificer: “Well, that’s a relief.”
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “Before anything is done, we do need to go over the other reasons! Starting with ‘After all she's had to deal with both this episode and the last one, Artificer deserves a reward of some sort.’.”
Artificer: “I don’t mean to offend any of the voters, but these do seem to be repetitive.”
Plankton: “And you consider that bad?”
Artificer: “No, just an observation I’ve made.”
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “The other vote reason Artificer has is a long one, so bare with me - ‘Honestly, I was torn between Artificer and the Knight, but I chose the former because she's been through a lot in her world. Lost her kids, became hated by scavengers everywhere, there was one timeline where she became a hollow shell of herself as she took the mask of the Scavenger Chieftan, and there was another where she was erased from existence because she tried to ascend. And don't even get me started on all of the theories and AUs surrounding her. And then in the first challenge, her team barely scraped by in the win, and now she's up for elimination.
What I'm trying to say is, please give the poor scug a win.
Sincerely, BigMinionD’.”
Silence.
Bowser: “...Holy fuck that’s a lot.”
Artificer: “Let’s. Not talk about it.”
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “Alrighty, with that done, get over there and spin the Incredible Wheel of Luck!”
Artificer gets out of her seat and walks over to the wheel, then spins it with great force. The wheel lands on…
‘Swap two contestant’s elimination votes’
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “Cool! At this elimination you get to switch the vote counts of two contestants of your choice. But, you won’t know how many votes each one has until I reveal them, after reading the votes of teammates that have less than one of the affected contestants.”
Artificer: “Well, this is an easy pick. Bill’s obviously one of them, that egotistical bastard probably got none because sometimes viewers like to be cruel.”
Artificer: “For the second… admittedly, Bowser is on my list for potentially getting the most votes.”
Bowser: “Seriously?! Why?!”
Artificer: “You don’t do much.”
Bowser: “I do plenty-”
Artificer: “AKA fighting that Boss guy and nothing else.”
Bowser: “...”
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “Okay, great! Bill Cipher and Bowser will have their vote counts swapped. I’ll still read out all their vote reasons like normal.”
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “With that said, let’s actually get to elimination votes! Starting with those with none, the Knight, Nacho, and Plankton are completely safe!”
Koe throws bowling pins at the three. Knight slashes the one thrown at them in half, Nacho just BARELY avoids it, and Plankton is flung off.
Plankton: “What the hell was that for?!”
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “Prize.”
Plankton: “That’s a BOWLING PIN!”
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “Prize.”
Plankton: “.”
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “Anyways, for those with one vote - minus one - we have Artificer and Plasma Ball!”
Koe throws more bowling pins. Artificer whacks hers away, while Plasma Ball is shattered.
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “Oops.”
Koe revives Plasma Ball.
Plasma Ball: “Seriously?!”
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “Accident, I promise! Let’s just get onto the voting reasons - for Artificer, we have ‘He will not be the president.’.”
Artificer: “...Okay? Not like I wanted to be a president anyways.”
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “And for Plasma Ball, we have… no reason.”
Plasma Ball: “Why bother voting if you’re not going to say why?!”
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “Because they can.”
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “Next safe is Torch God, with two votes.”
The bowling pin thrown at Torch God just catches on fire and turns into ash. They rearrange to say ‘BRUH’.
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “Firstly, we have ‘honestly i liked all of them so i just randomly picked (even if i didnt know most of the characters) also i think nacho is a cool character :3 - starry’.”
Torch God makes a :| face.
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “The second vote reason is ‘They don't seem to communicate much. And the others all have something cool and unique about their personalities.’.”
Torch God straight up just writes out a few sentences…
‘BECAUSE IT’S HARD TO TALK’
‘WHEN YOU’RE JUST A BUNCH’
‘OF TORCHES. NO BODY OR’
‘ANYTHING LIKE THAT. SO’
‘THERE’S YOUR REASON.’
‘IS ALSO WHY I DON’T HAVE’
‘A VISIBLE PERSONALITY’
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “Damn that was a feisty response…”
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “No matter! Time to get to the final two! Bowser and Bill!”
Spotlights shine on the two. Bill has finally gotten into his chair, albeit sitting sideways and being seemingly zoned out, while Bowser looks irritated.
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “One of you actually got one vote, but due to Artificer’s prize you have to be here. On the complete other side of the spectrum, the other person lost in a landslide with FIFTEEN VOTES! That’s the highest vote count any contestant has ever received, this season or last! I applaud all you voters for getting this record.”
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “I’ll read out one reason from the both of you before we get to the grand reveal…”
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “Starting with Bowser, ‘Easily the least useful team member. Bowser doesn't have much going for him as Plasma Ball fits the same stereotype and is more interesting and story-involved, and most other characters have their own merits or importance. The only reason I'm voting Bowser over Torch God is because the idea of a bunch of torches competing is outlandish in a good way.’.”
Bowser: “We are not the same stereotype!”
Plasma Ball: “Yeah, I also call bullshit on that.”
Torch God makes a question mark, confused if they should be offended or not over the vote reason.
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “Wow, you insulted three different contestants in a singular reason, voter. Well played.”
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “And for Bill, we have ‘I'd love to see everything in this team crumbles into pieces... but yeah!’.”
Artificer: “Looks like my theory may have been proven right.”
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “Oh, don’t be too sure of that yet - we haven’t seen the results! Well, you guys haven’t. But regardless…”
Drumroll…
Bill has one vote.
Bowser has fifteen.
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “Due to the swap, Bowser is out of the game with the fifteen votes!”
Koe throws the last bowling pin at Bill, which bounces off him.
Artificer: “...I messed up big time.”
Bowser: “Are you kidding me?! Seriously?!”
Bill Cipher: “Ha! That’s pretty funny!”
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “I’d be more careful if I was you, Bill, you were originally the one to be eliminated.”
Bill Cipher: “Eh, who cares about the votes anyways?”
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “That’s… the main thing you’re supposed to care about in eliminations? Whatever, let’s just get onto the rest of your vote reasons - starting with ‘ciph on deez nuts oooh gottem’.”
Bill Cipher: “I don’t have nuts.”
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “Secondly, ‘i know everyone atleast a little except torch god, and imean . bill is kind of an ass but hes bill, and i know theres gonna be some other people trying to vote bill off because hes an ass, but i have another reason, !! all of the other characters would be more interesting to learn about imo when bill is just . yeah - the goober’.”
Artificer: “You got the part about him being an ass completely right.”
Bill squashes Artificer with a giant fist.
Plasma Ball: “Are you killing us for having opinions now?!”
Bill Cipher: “Yeah, it’s funny.”
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “I’ll just bring her back after the elimination. Next reason, ‘Bro's useless! Teach him a lesson guys >:D’.”
Bill Cipher: “And no lesson was taught because your puny opinions don’t matter!”
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “Next is ‘Bill’. …That’s just his name.”
Bill Cipher: “The voter clearly couldn’t think of anything to incriminate me with, because I’m simply too awesome.”
Plankton: “Yeah, yeah, su-”
Plasma Ball silences Plankton before Bill squishes him also.
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “Then we have ‘Bill has done nothing in both of the challenges he was in, he's been a total jerk the entire time he was here, and let's not forget the time he turned a town into his chaotic playground and tried to do the same with the rest of his world. Plus, he's a Dorito.
Also Bill, if you're reading this and feel insulted? GOOD.
-BigMinionD’.”
Bowser: “I have an even worse opinion of him now, geez.”
Bill Cipher: “Yeah, I did all that. Whatcha gonna do about it? Right, absolutely nothing!”
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “Up next is ‘Well, I only know, like, 4 of them, but out of all of them, Bill did NOTHING! ABSOLUTELY NOTHING! HAPPENING TO BE A TUMBLR SEXYMAN WON'T SAVE YOU FROM THE CONSEQUENCES OF YOUR ACTIONS! Sorry for the ranting, and good luck to the other contestants! -Tayoga, the one who voted for Amelia last round and Profilly in round 10 last season.’.”
Bill Cipher: “You’re just jealous I’m an internet sensation.”
Torch God writes ‘WHAT’S A SEXYMAN’.
Bowser: “You don’t want to know.”
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “And next we have ‘NullCommands here! and, yeah, I'm skipping the sus detections this time because... well........
Bill Cipher, what on earth are you doing here? aren't you supposed to be dealing with plot and lore the ramifications of which can dictate the fate of literally every show? and yet you're beating your lazy arse here and ordering people to do shit for you?
get back to your own show!’. …Not sure what that’s going on a spiel about but it’s probably none of my business.”
Bill Cipher: “Look, kid, I’d rather be there than here also, but I was dragged in here and don’t have a choice.”
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “Still confused but… next reason, ‘He's literally the only reason his team lost. Couldn't he have just snapped and set the counter to 999,999,999,999,999,999,999,999$?’.”
Bill Cipher: “You put the dollar sign after the amount of money.”
Plankton: “That’s your only takeaway from that reason?!”
Bill Cipher: “Mhm, pretty much.”
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “Then we have ‘"So this can force the fricking dorito demon into actually doing something next contest!" - Aveline’.”
Bill Cipher: “Have fun with that!”
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “Then we just have… ‘Dorito’.”
Bill Cipher: “Every person who calls me a dorito is going to meet a particularly unfortunate fate.”
Plasma Ball: “You’re going to kill them, aren’t you.”
Bill Cipher: “Yeah.”
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “And finally, after all that, we have ‘idk man i was just bored.’. …That was super anticlimactic.”
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “Well, despite all that, Bowser is still the one that will be going!”
Bowser: “This is the worst possible way to go out.”
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “See you later!”
Koe pulls out the THoE and taps it, generating a beam which envelops Bowser and makes him vanish.
Plankton: “Where in Neptune’s name did he go?!”
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “Into the Temporary Holder of Eliminated. He’ll come back after the competition is done and dusted.”
Koe revives Artificer.
Artificer: “Fuck, that hurt.”
Bill Cipher: “Good job.”
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “Now, it’s time for you all to get out so we can do the next challenge!”
Koe, along with the remaining members of NNIT, exit the room.
Cut to the cafeteria, where RCoKJ is in the middle of a meeting.
King Julien: “So, Lamb, how did your recruitment go? I’m excited to see the results!”
Lamb: “It was fifty-fifty. One person I attempted to bring in rudely rejected it, unfortunately, but thankfully we did still gain a member!”
King Julien: “Good job! Maybe later we’ll get that other person into the kingdom. For now, though, it’s important we focus on those that are more willing.”
While most of the team talks about stuff relating to King Julien’s kingdom, Ploque and Rocket sit at the end of the table, clearly uninterested. Spider-Ham, who is sitting on the same side as them, tries to strike up a conversation.
Spider-Ham: “So, how are things going with you two?”
Rocket: “Honestly, not as bad as I expected!”
Ploque: “...Fine.”
Silence.
Spider-Ham: “I can clearly tell you’re not just by your tone of voice, kid. What’s up?”
Ploque: “Well, you caught me. I just feel out of place on a team full of, y’know, living animals? And I don’t particularly have much attention towards this ‘kingdom’ or whatever… and being on the same team as Carl is particularly unnerving.”
Spider-Ham: “You just gotta see the good in it, kiddo! That’s what I always do.”
Spider-Ham suddenly freezes up.
Rocket: “...You good?”
In quick succession, Spider-Ham leaps out of his seat and shoots a web in the direction of the door, where Plasma Ball was being thrown towards the group.
Spider-Ham: “That was a close one, wow!”
Plasma Ball: “This feels gross, but I’ll take it over shattering for the second time today.”
Spider-Ham walks over to Plasma Ball.
Spider-Ham: “Now what were you doing to end up getting flung at our team?”
Plasma Ball: “I tried criticizing Bill.”
Plasma Ball points towards Bill, who is entering the room, with the rest of NNIT and Koe behind him.
Spider-Ham: “Oh, I see. That’s definitely something I’ll need to deal with later… but not now, since the contest is going to start soon, I assume!”
Spider-Ham releases Plasma Ball from the web and runs over to his team, beckoning them to head outside. Cut to said outside, where all contestants and Koe have now arrived… well, not including the dead ones.
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “Wow, we’re missing some people!”
Torch God writes ‘BOSS IS DEAD’.
Amelia: “The rest of our team… also died…”
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “Oh.”
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “That makes sense!”
Koe respawns Boss and the dead portion of CF. Boss immediately gives an angry glare at Torch God.
N: “That was not fun at all!”
Wheatley: “I knew something bad was going to happen! If only I actually realized sooner, maybe we wouldn’t have been crushed so violently! Where is the perpetrator, anyways?”
Boss: “YEAH, I NEED TO KICK HIS ASS.”
Plasma Ball: “He’s eliminated.”
Boss: “...”
Boss: “THAT WORKS TOO.”
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “Alright, enough chit-chat, let’s get to the challenge!”
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “This time around, it’ll be a game of Jeopardy - I assume most of you don’t know what that is, so I’ll happily explain! There will be sets of questions listed upon the board, and each team will take turns picking one. All teams have a chance to press the buzzer on their podium and give their guess. If your team gets it correct, you’ll earn some points. Each question will be put into one of four topics. With all that said, let’s get started!”
Koe snaps, and the teams teleport to a Jeopardy game setup, each team being placed behind a podium.
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “Alright, first up, Blocky’s Funny Doings International will be picking a question! Discuss with your team what you want to choose.”
Pan to BFDI’s podium. They look over the categories listed on the screen - Science, Sports, Words, and Hodgepodge.
Squid: “I was under the assumption typical games had six categories.”
Blocky: “Whatever! It’s less work for us!”
Nikoly: “Maybe we should pick… uh… um…”
King Dedede: “I was thinking more… mmm…”
Woodie: “Look, friends, I think we should go with… er…”
Sundew: “I have no time for this stupidity, I'm just going to pick one for us.”
Sundew yells over to Koe.
Sundew: “WORDS FOR 500!”
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “Got it!”
A clue pops up on the screen. Koe reads it out.
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “This word starts with E and is a synonym of boredom.”
Instantly, a buzzer is pressed.
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “Buzzer press already? Well, gimme your answer!”
The one who pressed it is N, who immediately starts panicking because he doesn’t actually have one.
N: “Uhhhh… enchilada?...”
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “Wrong!”
N: “Aw, fiddlesticks!”
A short period of time passes before a buzzer is pressed again.
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “Let’s get another answer! And hopefully it won’t be enchilada.”
This time, it was Science Bear.
Science Bear: “The correct answer is ennui.”
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “Ding ding ding! You got it!”
IDIOT gets 500 points.
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “Now, next up for the picking - Not Naming It That!”
Artificer: “Alright, we need to think smart about this-”
Bill Cipher: “Boring! I want to blow some guys up.”
Artificer: “Why would you do that in a quizzing game?!”
Bill Cipher: “I thought you wanted revenge on that team, didn’t you?”
Bill points behind himself to BFDI.
Artificer: “...My point still stands-”
Bill Cipher: “Too late!”
Bill takes one of Artificer’s spears and launches it at Blocky, getting a direct hit. He yelps, and brings BFDI’s attention to Bill and Artificer.
Artificer: “Fuck.”
Bill Cipher: “Lol.”
Plasma Ball and Plankton, meanwhile, are actually trying to pick a topic.
Plasma Ball: “What do you suggest?”
Plankton: “Well, obviously it’s gotta be one of the 500-pointers.”
Plasma Ball: “Duh! What else would we pick?! We’d be idiots to go for a lower score!”
Plankton: “Ok, let’s actually pick a category… ”
Plankton: “Science?”
Plasma Ball: “I don’t know anything about that.”
Plankton: “I probably wouldn’t know anything about your pick either.”
Plasma Ball: “I haven’t even said it-”
Nacho pushes the two aside.
Nacho: “Sports for 100.”
Plasma Ball: “Whuh-”
Plankton: “OH COME ON!”
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “Alrighty, sports for 100!”
Clue appearance!
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “This sport is played with two goals, and you must kick a ball.”
It takes a while before someone presses a buzzer.
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “Gimme your best guess, buzzer presser!”
Said buzzer presser is King Julien.
King Julien: “It is the game called soccer, Mr. Koe! I heard about it once.”
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “Correctamundo!”
RCoKJ gets 100 points.
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “Alright, next up, Cool Friends!”
CF begins talking about what they’ll pick when a large commotion starts to their right… BFDI and NNIT have apparently started an all-out war, both sides attacking each other.
Pizza Steve: “That can’t be safe, dudes.”
Flowey: “I want in on that action!”
Flowey tries rushing over, but Kris grabs his stem, preventing him from continuing.
Flowey: “Bitch!”
Kris drags Flowey back.
Wheatley: “Do you lot think we should tell the host? Surely that must be against the rules of this challenge, I would doubt he would want unsolicited violence in a game like Jeopardy.”
N: “I’ll do it!”
N shouts over to Koe.
N: “Hey, those two teams are fighting!”
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “Eh, whatever, it’s not causing any excess fatalities!”
A stray spear strikes and shatters Amelia.
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “...Okay, for the most part it isn’t.”
N: “I- eh-”
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “Just pick a category already, we don’t have all day!”
Pizza Steve gets onto CF’S podium.
Pizza Steve: “I dunno, let’s just go with Science for 500!”
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “Boom! Done!”
Another clue!
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “This is the name for the compound Ag2MoO4.”
Pizza Steve: “Okay, what does that even mean?!”
N: “We’re severely unprepared for this, oh no…”
Science Bear presses IDIOT’s buzzer, and answers before Koe can give a quip.
Science Bear: “The correct answer is silver molybdate.”
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “Winner! Your team gets 500 more points.”
IDIOT is in the lead with 1000 points now! Crazy!
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “Next up for picking is, well, IDIOT!”
Test Tube: “This is a clear and obvious pick, we can just go for another Science one!”
Charles: “But, what if someone answers before us? The other teams are unpredictable.”
Science Bear: “I don’t mean to insult the intelligence of our fellow contestants, but they are very clearly of low IQ…”
Science Bear motions to the brawling teams of BFDI and NNIT, CF freaking out over their incompetence, and RCoKJ idling.
Charlie the Unicorn: “Well, let’s get on with it then. The faster we do this, the better-”
Hyehehe appears on the stage that Koe is on.
Hyehehe: “Hodgepodge for 500, hyehehehehe!”
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “Alrighty!”
Warrior: “Aw, our pick!”
Charlie the Unicorn: “How did they even get there so fast, they were over here just a few seconds ago-”
The clue is clearly vandalized.
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “Uh… This is the coolest and awesomest contestant on the show and is better than everyone else?...”
Hyehehe appears back at IDIOT’s podium and slaps the buzzer loudly.
Hyehehe: “The great Hyehehe, of course!”
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “That is… correct, surprisingly! Huh. Another 500 points for IDIOT!”
All of IDIOT - bar Hyehehe, of course - gives sighs of relief that a fluke didn’t occur.
Charlie the Unicorn: “Thank god that wasn’t a waste of a pick.”
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “And now, we have Royal Circle of King Julien up for selecting a category!”
King Julien: “Alright, my loyal subjects, what do you all think we should choose?”
Glendale: “I was thinking maybe Hodgepodge? We didn’t actually see what it does and I’d like to know…”
Donkey: “We gotta go with Words! It’s the easiest one!”
Rocket: “I dunno, I’d like to go with Sports, honestly!”
Carl: “Science.”
Carl walks up to the podium.
Carl: “Science for 400.”
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “Alright, that’s your category!”
King Julien: “Hey, I’m the king! You can’t do that!”
Carl: “Look, I have a plan, don’t worry man!”
Clue appearance!
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “This is the amount of organs in the average human body-”
Carl presses the buzzer.
Carl: “Seventy-eight.”
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “Winner winner chicken dinner! 400 more points for RCoKJ!”
King Julien: “How did you know that and answer so quickly?”
Carl: “It’s a secret.”
Ploque: “I don’t think I want to know what that secret is.”
A timelapse of answering occurs… there are now only five questions pickable. Also, many casualties occurred for NNIT and BFDI, and a small few on some other teams that ended up hit by stray attacks. The current scores are:
BFDI - 400
IDIOT - 2400
CF - 1200
NNIT - 400
RCoKJ - 800
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “Blocky’s Funny Doings International and Not Naming It That are in a tie for last, meaning these last five questions will be a race to see which of the two can get their act together and give answers!”
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “And of course, we actually need to get to picking these - Blocky’s Funny Doings International will be up first again, as per usual.”
Red, Nikoly, and Lucy are the only ones alive.
Red: “...I dunno, what do you two think we should pick?”
Nikoly: “Well, we don’t have many choices… I think… mm… uh…”
Lucy: “Please, I don’t want to deal with a thinkfest again!”
Nikoly: “Sorry, I’m not very good at these kinds of decisions. I like deciding what I sell more.”
Red: “Maybe we just go with Sports 100?”
Lucy: “That was done in the first round.”
Red: “Oh.”
Nikoly: “Hey, I got one! What about Science 100?”
Lucy: “The team of smart guys is gonna snatch the win from us quick and easy.”
Nikoly: “Dang, you’re right.”
Red: “Okay, let’s go with Words 100!”
Lucy: “Now that’s more like it!”
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “Alright, your choice is final, Blocky’s Funny Doings International!”
The clue for the question appears.
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “This word starts with q and is a synonym of fast.”
Torch God manages to push NNIT’s buzzer before BFDI can press theirs. They then spell out ‘QUICK’.
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “Good job, that’s right! 100 points for your team!”
Torch God celebrates. Turns out, they’re the only one left alive on NNIT, except Bill who just left at some point and Koe didn’t bother to bring him back.
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “Now it’s your time to choose a category. Funny segway, isn’t it?”
Torch God views over their options, before finally picking one and writing ‘WORDS 200’
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “Got it!”
Clue appearance.
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “This word is a synonym of wind and rhymes with lease.”
Red taps the buzzer.
Red: “...Wheeze?”
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “Nope!”
Red: “Aw, goshdarnit!”
Another buzzer is pressed from another team.
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “Show me what you got!”
A half-broken, half-awake Test Tube mumbles something, before Science Bear shakes her back to full consciousness.
Test Tube: “Ack- breeze!”
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “Correct! Another 200 points for IDIOT!”
Science Bear: “That was indescribably close to a loss. We need to be careful during the last three questions to keep our streak alive.”
Charlie the Unicorn: “That’s not going to be hard when half the opposing teams have been wiped out to near-nothing.”
Science Bear: “A simple slip-up could cost everything, however. I’m not blaming Test Tube in this scenario because she’s currently injured physically and mentally, but it’s a general issue that we need to make sure we don’t fall to.”
Warrior: “He has a point! Even if I didn’t get most of that.”
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “Next up, Cool Friends!”
N: “Our turn again! Woo!”
Pizza Steve: “Let’s get this over with before my sunglasses break from pressure, dudes…”
Well, we’re nowhere near losing, so what we choose doesn’t really matter, right, Stanley? Stanley- oh my god did you really just pass out on the podium.
Stanley indeed did that, and now he’s covering up the buzzer.
N: “...”
Pizza Steve: “Yeah, I’m out.”
Pizza Steve leaves.
N: “Well, I guess it’s just you and me then, Wheatley!”
Wheatley: “What about the other two members of our team?”
N: “They ran off some time ago.”
Wheatley: “Darn!”
N: “Now, what should we choose…”
N: “I got it! We’ll go with Science for 100!”
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “Bada bing bada boom, bringing that up right now!”
The clue appears.
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “This is the opposite of a proton.”
Science Bear presses IDIOT’s buzzer.
Science Bear: “The answer is an electron.”
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “Correct answer again! More points for you guys! Really don’t need those anymore but I digress.”
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “And, funnily enough, you’re up for selecting next, IDIOT!”
Science Bear: “I admit the host has a point in that we don’t need to answer any questions now that we’re far in the lead.”
Charlie the Unicorn: “So are you going to listen to him and stop or continue regardless of your observation?”
Science Bear: “Well, I’d make a fool of myself if I didn’t continue onwards in the endeavor of bringing answers to these inquiries, so I must ignore his words.”
Charlie the Unicorn: “What was the point of agreeing with him then?!”
Charles: “Hey, guys, calm down! Let’s just pick something and then we can head out of this place sooner.”
Blue and Enderman are actually looking over the options. They’re seen talking to each other using hand motions and blocks. Eventually, they settle on Science for 200, and swiftly build a sign saying so.
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “Got it!”
Koe pulls up the hint.
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “This is the amount of milliliters in two liters.”
Science Bear presses the buzzer again.
Science Bear: “The correct answer is two thousand milliliters.”
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “Correct! Honestly, at this point, I’m surprised your team didn’t just leave after your big success.”
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “Regardless, it’s time for the last question! There’s no picking this time since there’s only one possible choice.”
Koe pulls up Sports for 200.
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “This sport uses a system of bases.”
Red is about to push the buzzer for BFDI, but is tackled by Torch God and caught on fire.
Red: “AGHHHHHHHHHHH-”
Red runs into the distance.
Nikoly: “...”
Lucy: “...”
Nikoly: “I don’t even want to bother…”
Lucy: “Same here.”
Torch God returns to NNIT’s podium and presses the buzzer, then writes ‘BASEBALL’.
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “And that’s the final question answered! Now, for a final tally, from highest to lowest…”
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “IDIOT got far ahead of the others with a grand 2900 points!”
Blue celebrates intensely, while the other team members watch his partying. Warrior eventually joins in too.
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “Next, Cool Friends received 1200, which is pretty behind IDIOT but is still pretty darn good!”
N: “We did it! Woo!”
Wheatley: “If only the others were here to celebrate, it would be the grandest of said celebrations!”
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “Then, Royal Circle of King Julien reached 800, which isn’t too good but still puts them ahead of the final two.”
King Julien: “Great job, everyone! We may not have won, but we have certainly gotten farther than ever before!”
Glendale: “Yay!”
Lamb: “Splendid.”
Spider-Ham: “Let’s gooooo!”
Donkey: “About time!”
Carl: “Nice.”
Rocket: “Yeah, we did it!”
Ploque simply claps.
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “That leaves just Not Naming It That and Blocky’s Funny Doings International… one of you got an advantage over the other in the last round of questions, earning you a spot on the safe side. Will Not Naming It That go up for elimination for the second time in a row, or will Blocky’s Funny Doings International meet their first loss?”
Torch God imitates a sweating face. Nikoly internally panics while Lucy hisses.
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “And the last team safe is…”
Drumroll…
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “Not Naming It That, with 700! Blocky’s Funny Doings International got unlucky and only ended up with 400.”
Nikoly groans in disappointment while Lucy curses angrily. Torch God creates a relieved face.
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “Now, all of you can head back, I’m sure you’re all tired of this challenge. Meanwhile, I’ll just be bringing in the poll-”
N: “Hey, what about all the dead people?”
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “Oh, yes, right!”
Koe respawns everyone that died - Amelia, Artificer, Blocky, Boss, King Dedede, Knight, Nacho, Plankton, Plasma Ball, Red, Sundew, Squid, and Woodie.
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “Welcome back, dead people! Anyone who died and is a part of Blocky’s Funny Doings International, you’re up for elimination.”
Blocky: “Come on! Seriously?!”
Boss: “THIS SUCKS.”
King Dedede: “I can’t believe it!”
Red: “Aw…”
Woodie: “Now that just sucks hard.”
Sundew and Squid unanimously sigh in annoyance.
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “Now I can actually bring in a poll… alright… there!”
VOTING LINK: [ENDED]
Late at night, the majority of BFDI is seen in the cafeteria. Squid is sketching plans on a whiteboard.
Squid: “The team Not Naming It That has officially declared war on us from their attack. Our goal over the next few challenges is to bring them to their knees so we can become the ones on top.”
Squid: “Tomorrow is the day we strike. There will not be any mercy given. Are you all ready?”
Everyone present confirms.
Squid: “Great. We will become supreme!”
Cheering comes from the team… pan to Red, standing just outside the cafeteria, watching.
Red: “That can’t end well…”
Red walks away, and bumps into Enderman.
Red: “Oof- oh, sorry, man!”
Red looks up to Enderman, but due to his visor, Enderman isn’t aggravated. Enderman nods, accepting the apology.
Red: “Oh, wait, can you help me with something?”
Enderman tilts their head, questioning what Red needs help with.
Red: “My team and another team are going to go into a full-out war and I don’t want to be a part of it… could you and your team give refuge or something like that?”
Enderman contemplates for a moment, before nodding and walking away. Red sighs in relief.
Chapter 4: Episode 4 - Block the Block
Notes:
nikoly fans will be pleased with this episode
Chapter Text
The episode starts with BFDI discussing their plans for wiping out NNIT.
Boss: “IF WE GET THEM UP FOR ELIMINATION AGAIN THEY’LL PROBABLY LOSE A STRONG MEMBER, THEN THEY WILL KEEP LOSING AND WE WILL RISE OVER THEM!”
Blocky: “Yes! But we gotta make sure it’s done extravagantly , they don’t call me the ultimate prankster for nothing so I won’t settle for a bland dismantling of their team!”
Squid: “Are you even considering the effectiveness?”
Blocky: “Duh! I’m not an idiot like you probably think I am. You gotta have a balance of design and use, y’know, makes things more enjoyable for the viewers!”
Nikoly: “The viewers?...”
Blocky: “We’re on a game show. We’re getting voted by an audience instead of each other. There’s obviously viewers! What, you think the host is just conjuring the votes from thin air?!”
Nikoly: “Geez, I was just a little confused!”
Sundew sighs.
Sundew: “Sometimes I wonder why I ever decided to join this team.”
King Dedede: “Well, would ya rather be with the weak guys, the insane man’s team, or here?”
Sundew: “...Good point. Doesn’t soften the impact of the annoyances at all, though.”
Squid: “We’re getting off topic! We’re supposed to be overviewing the plans for the next challenge!”
Boss: “YES, LET’S ALL SHUT UP AND LISTEN.”
Squid: “Thank you for actually being sensible. Now…”
Squid begins explaining the plans, while Enderman watches. It nervously looks away, then teleports throughout the building to look for Red. After getting a few wrong locations, Enderman ends up outside the cafeteria, where they hear the voice of Warrior among others. Curious, Enderman peers inside, being careful not to reveal themselves…
King Julien: “I must say, Warrior, you are quite enthusiastic about our kingdom! I give my approval to you.”
Warrior: “Thanks, king man!”
Glendale: “This is so exciting, getting our first citizen!”
King Julien: “Indeed it is! I’m proud to have begun to foster this civilization by my own hands.”
Lamb: “Well, ours , but mostly yours indeed.”
King Julien: “Oh, yes, right! Thanks for the correction.”
Carl sips his ‘coffee’, which is probably not coffee.
Carl: “When do we get to do crusades and stuff now that we have a militia?”
King Julien: “Well, Lamb has told of an opposer to our kingdom, as we all know - besides Warrior, of course.”
Warrior: “Oo, an enemy!”
King Julien: “However, it’s already been stated by him that he plans to take things into his own hands…”
Lamb: “Sorry, kid. Maybe next time.”
Warrior: “Dang.”
King Julien: “But! I think the rest of the team that this opponent is a part of could be a good target for attacks if we ever come to needing to do so.”
Warrior: “Yay!”
King Julien: “As such, I’ve decided we can have a dedicated fighting district consisting of Carl as the overseer and Warrior as the current sole member.”
Carl gives a thumbs up in approval, then takes a large chug of his ‘coffee’. Rocket gags in disgust while Ploque turns around to not look.
Warrior: “Hell yeah!”
Spider-Ham: “I can approve of that idea!”
Donkey: “Yep, same.”
Glendale: “Well, fighting isn’t always the best answer… but I guess it’s fine for the circumstances!”
Lamb: “I give clearance to this.”
King Julien: “Great!”
Enderman stops watching, clearly off-put by Warrior being in cahoots with RCoKJ in such a way. However, Enderman decides to stay quiet about it for the time being, and continues looking for Red, eventually teleporting in front of his door and knocking on it.
Red: “Come in, I guess…”
Enderman opens the door to see Red laying face down in his bed. Red immediately gets up.
Red: “Oh, hi Enderman!”
Enderman waves, then tilts their head to question why Red’s lying in bed. The bean man immediately knows what they mean.
Red: “Oh, I’m just… tired… mostly because of stress from my team, y’know.”
Enderman nods in understanding, then motions to him coming outside with the mob and going to IDIOT’s area.
Red: “It’s almost elimination time though, right?…”
Enderman blank faces, realizing that yes, it is almost that time. Cue facepalm.
Red: “I’ll head over to your place after the challenge, though! For now, I’m going to head to the waiting room.”
Red walks out of the room, waving goodbye to Enderman, who waves back before teleporting away.
Cut to the waiting room, where Red is sitting, when the rest of BFDI barges in, spooking him.
Blocky: “Great, we’re not late!”
Nikoly: “I was kinda hoping we were late and we could just skip elimination…”
Squid: “I think the host would just teleport us if that happened.”
Nikoly: “Damn, you’re right!”
Koe comes out of the door on the other side of the room.
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “Just on time, Blocky’s Funny Doings International! Let’s head in before the chit-chat continues on and we get way too many lines before the elimination.”
Squid: “What?”
Nikoly: “I think it’s meta stuff.”
Squid: “...I don’t know what that means but sure.”
BFDI follows Koe into the elimination room.
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “Welcome, to your first elimination! Feeling the suspense?”
For the most part, the team stays silent, but Red shakes his head very quickly as a response.
Nikoly: “Yeah, a little…”
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “Great! Perfect atmosphere, then! But before we get to the elimination votes, we’ve got wheel spin votes to get to.”
Koe pulls up his holographic bar graph of votes.
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “This time, we got twenty-three votes! The counts just keep growing and growing, that’s pretty great!”
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “And starting with those who got absolutely no votes, we have Squid and the duo of Woodie and Lucy!”
Woodie: “Darn, that’s a bummer!”
Lucy: “I call foul!”
Squid: “Life is disappointing sometimes.”
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “Next up with only one vote each is Boss and Sundew!”
Boss gives an evil glare.
Sundew: “I could care less, honestly.”
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “For the singular vote reasons for the both of you, Boss has… well, this is more of a question than a reason , but ‘Blixer what are ur thoughts on cube’.”
Woodie: “What or who is a Blixer and why is that addressed to them?”
Boss: “THAT’S THE NAME SOME PEOPLE GIVE ME.”
Woodie: “Ah, I see!”
Boss: “AS FOR MY THOUGHTS ON CUBE…”
Boss: “I HAVE NO ANSWER FOR YOU. TRY AGAIN LATER.”
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “Damn, cold shoulder! For Sundew’s reason, we have ‘Sundew speaks for the trees. Breath of evil is bad.’.”
Sundew: “Agreed whole-heartedly.”
Squid: “Explain, what is this ‘breath of evil’?”
Sundew: “Basically a plant that tried taking over the world due to a human and a dragon, it’s a long story though.”
King Dedede: “Never pinned you as being the heroic type, but hey, I gotta give you credit for that!”
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “The next one to not get to spin the wheel is Nikoly with three votes!”
Nikoly: “Hey, that’s better than what I was expecting, so I’m not complaining!”
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “The vote reasons start with ‘fiiiish’.”
fish
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “Then we have ‘Look at that smile! How could you not want them to spin the wheel? - Kairos’.”
Smile :)
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “Lastly, we have… oh, there’s not a third reason.”
Nikoly: “I’m comfortable with the three votes as is!”
Nikoly gives a thumbs up forwards. As in like, towards you. The reader.
Squid: “...What?”
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “King Dedede is also not getting to spin the wheel with just four votes!”
King Dedede: “Dagnabbit!”
King Dedede: “...But, I’ll take it as a personal win, it’s not too bad either!”
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “The vote reasons for King Dedede start with ‘He's funny.’.”
King Dedede: “I appreciate that you think of me as funny!”
Squid: “Have you considered that may mean they like making fun of you?”
King Dedede: “Why would they vote for me if they thought that?!”
Nikoly: “Hate vote, maybe? Like when you hate watch a movie or show, but with a vote instead?”
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “The second reason is ‘Clobbah that there NNIT’.”
King Dedede: “Someone who speaks my language, yes! We will be clobbahing that there N N I T!”
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “Third up is ‘I've been playing Kirby recently and he's the only one I recognize.’.”
King Dedede: “Well, I can appreciate tha- wait, play Kirby? What in the name of Dreamland are you doing to the pink scoundrel?”
Nikoly: “one day you will know”
King Dedede: “...Uh…”
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “And lastly, ‘Goated character’.”
King Dedede: “You too are ‘goated’, whatever that word may mean!”
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “Now, to the final two… Blocky and Red! You guys both got a lot of votes to spin the wheel, but one of you only got six votes, while the other got eight. A pretty close vote!”
Blocky: “I’m getting the W here, one hundred percent! Mr. Scaredy-Bean over here didn’t even bother to come plan with the rest of us!”
Red turns away from Blocky silently.
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “I wouldn’t be too sure of that yet, block boy, the voters are quite the unpredictable people! But before we actually say who did get the win, we need to go over some vote reasons! So, starting with Blocky’s, we have ‘blocky blocky blocky blocky blocky blocky blocky blocky blocky blocky blocky blocky blocky blocky blocky blocky blocky blocky blocky blocky blocky blocky blocky blocky blocky blocky blocky blocky -para’.”
Blocky: “I congratulate any and all of my dedicated fans for being the most based people in the universe!”
Squid: “I can’t even comprehend half of what you’re saying anymore.”
Sundew: “I think it’s best if we refuse to question his words.”
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “Next is ‘Gotta give the namesake of the team the vote. The guy's pranking can lead to a lot of fun scenes, and his personality overall makes him an enjoyable character. I almost voted Red instead of Blocky, but honestly Blocky's just a better contestant. Still rooting for Red, though.’.”
Blocky: “This guy understands perfectly!”
Red: “...At least I was mentioned, I guess?”
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “Then we have ‘im the crime enthusiast . i enthuse crime . blocky shpuld spin the incredible wheel of luck because i enthuse silly crimes-the goober’.”
Blocky, the crime man, gives an enthusiastic thumbs up.
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “Next vote reason is ‘i love him,also, how does he use the bathroom? do objects have’-”
Koe reads the last word, then looks up.
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “...I’m not finishing that.”
Sundew: “I think we could all assume what the last word was already.”
Lucy: “I thought this was supposed to be family friendly!”
Nikoly: “I think it’s meant to be a middle ground, like, the triangle guy on Not Naming It that got absolutely hammered last episode, and some of us swear all the time!”
Squid: “Ex-fucking-xactly.”
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “Next is ‘I LOVRBBLOCLY (but not more than i love profily!!) - starry’.”
Blocky: “These voters are smart!”
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “The last vote reason is ‘He's a cool guy’.”
Blocky: “You’re completely right and true!”
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “Now, onto Red’s votes, beginning with ‘Amogus.’.”
among us sfx
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “The next one is ‘I like them the most out of everyone, and I think Red deserves it for being peaceful and not killing anyone!’.”
Loud boos come from Blocky and Boss as Red tries to give thanks.
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “...Ok then! Next is ‘Funky red space dude, hope to see him/them last long in this - Blanks_Corner’.”
More boos occur when Red tries to give thanks again. Sundew is visibly pissed off.
Sundew: “Are you two just going to be assholes the entire time?”
Boss: “MAYBE.”
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “The next reason is ‘He is nice and I want him to be happy
WEN IMPOSTER IS SUS *bub bub bum bum bum bu ba badada BUMBUM*’.”
Red: “Imposter?!?! Where?!?!”
Blocky laughs at this, prompting a smack from Sundew that sends him flying out the window.
Sundew: “Bitch.”
Red watches Blocky fly into the distance…
Red: “...That was a bit too violent, but thanks.”
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “...”
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “I’ll bring him back once we’re done…”
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “Let’s just get back to vote reasons! ‘surely trusting this crewmate won't be the worst mistake of my life
also unrelated:
when the artificel does something so inconceivable you have to hit them with the votechad* stare
also since i've mentioned the voting icons the last times uhhhh these look pretty good’.”
Red: “This feels like it’s trying to accuse me…”
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “Lastly, we have ‘:)’.”
Red: “:)”
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “Now, for the winner…”
Drumroll…
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “Red wins with the eight votes!”
Surprisingly, everyone - besides Blocky for obvious reasons - claps for Red… except Boss, who grumbles distastefully. (...and Squid and Lucy due to a lack of hands, but they’re clapping in spirit.) Red himself is surprised about winning.
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “Congrats! There’s no more reasons to read out, so you can go ahead and spin the Incredible Wheel of Luck right now!”
Red gets up and spins the wheel lightly, landing on…
‘Extra life’
Nikoly: “I thought these were all meant to be elimination advantages? That’s what the last two teams had!”
Squid: “How do you even know that?”
Nikoly: “I know many things I probably shouldn’t.”
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “Well, it’s not really a good wheel if it doesn’t have a variety! Red just got the semi-short end of the stick. Could be worse for him, honestly.”
Red: “...What does extra life mean?”
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “You’ll find out at the challenge. But for now! It’s time to get to the elimination votes. And, fun fact, everybody got an elimination vote this time around!”
Confetti falls from the ceiling.
Woodie: “Are we supposed to be excited?”
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “Right, you guys probably wouldn’t like that.”
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “Eh, whatever! Let’s just get to the votes, starting with Blocky with just one!-”
He’s still gone.
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “Oh. Right.”
Koe respawns Blocky, who’s visibly dazed.
Blocky: “Ow…”
Sundew: “Serves you right.”
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “Well, he did get the least votes out of everyone, so not all is bad for him.”
Blocky: “Oh, sick! That alleviates the pain a little!”
Koe tosses a pear to Blocky, who eats it in one bite.
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “The singular reason that you received is ‘I think Blocky is going too far with his pranks! It will cause more trouble than good for his team.’.”
Blocky: “Hah! As if!”
Boss: “HE IS SCARILY GOOD AT PRANKS. IT’S UNWISE TO SAY THEY WILL CAUSE TROUBLE.”
Sundew: “I literally just punched him through a window.”
Boss: “THAT WASN’T A PRANK THAT WAS JUST BEING RUDE.”
Blocky: “Hey!”
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “Next with just two votes are Sundew, Squid, and Woodie and Lucy!”
Koe throws pears at the three. Sundew catches hers and puts it down, Squid avoids his, and Woodie and Lucy cleanly slice theirs into two halves.
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “Going in alphabetical order, Sundew’s first vote reason is ‘Is very forgetable, but that might just be because I don't know the that well.’.”
Sundew shrugs.
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “The second reason is ‘SQUID GAME ‼‼’.”
Squid: “Are you sure that wasn’t directed at me?”
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “Yep!”
Squid: “Very well then. I’m confused about the correlation, however.”
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “Eh, no time to dwell on it, especially when we’ve got your vote reasons to cover now! The first one being ‘Unlike all the others, I have absolutely no idea who this guy is.’.”
Squid: “I feel like this may be a recurring theme for our votes.”
King Dedede: “What I’m asking is, how would they know us beforehand in da first place?”
Squid imitates a shrug in response.
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “Secondly, we have…”
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “...”
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “I refuse to read this.”
Squid: “...That’s concerning.”
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “Let’s just move to Woodie’s votes… ‘Sorry but idk who else’.”
Woodie: “No blaming from me, it’s natural, eh, Lucy?”
Lucy: “Mmhmm!”
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “Secondly, we have ‘I literally don't recall him- I mean, them- doing anything useful’.”
Lucy: “Falsehoods! We’re not useless!”
Woodie: “Lucy, you’re overreacting a little… but she is right, we’ve done useful things. We helped sabotage Not Naming It That in the second challenge.”
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “Before we get to the final three - yes, three - Red is safe from entering the danger zone with three votes!”
Red just nods in approval of this.
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “Firstly, we have ‘Red sus. I SAW RED VENT OMG THE IMPOSTOR. RED SUS.’.”
Red immediately starts ranting about he isn’t sus and that he didn’t vent. Everyone but Sundew stares confused and in distaste.
Boss: “WE SHOULD STOP HIM.”
King Dedede: “My ears are starting to hurt!”
Lucy lightly bonks Red with the non-sharp side of her axe head, stopping Red.
Red: “...Instincts kicked in, sorry.”
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “Next is… something… ‘We do not need any more Among Us refrences. Also, this isn't related to the elimination but contestants can't see comments so I'm putting it here, Hyehehe can control the Fabric. Of. Reality. They have done it before. They've written over the text for Earth Island to say Hyehehe, they've changd their bio to insult Monster-Handler Matt while also saying they're a god, and they've DELETED AN ENTIRE ISLAND FROM EXISTANCE. And this was in a span of 5 MINUTES! Just thought to let you guys know, and only the first sentence is counted as the elimination reason, good luck! -Tayoga’.”
The team stares blankly for a moment, while Koe carelessly shrugs off the warning.
Blocky: “Well, if this ‘Tayoga’ voter is right, then we should use this information to our advantage!”
Boss: “GREAT IDEA.”
Woodie: “Eh, it sounds a bit distasteful, plus couldn’t the hyena man just trick us and mess with us instead?”
Hyehehe appears floating in the sky- wait THEY WHAT???
Hyehehe: “Right you are! Hyehehehehehehe!”
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “Wh- get out of here!”
Hyehehe noclips out of the wall and back to the outside, thankfully.
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “That was weird. Okay, last reason. ‘among us sussy xd xd (blocky better be safe.....) -para’.”
Red glares, about to give another rant, when Lucy shushes him before he can start.
Blocky: “Lucky you are!”
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “Now, to the final three! Boss, King Dedede, and Nikoly!”
Spotlights are cast on the three. Boss looks disinterested, King Dedede is trembling, and Nikoly is… busy counting his Espacoins. Woodie lightly taps him on the shoulder, bringing his attention back to the elimination.
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “Two of you got tied with four votes, while the other got five! I’ll read out the vote reasons for each of you, then we’ll see who’s going.”
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “Starting with Boss, we have ‘Tough choice since this team is full of great people. Gotta say Boss lacks what the others have in terms of personality, though.’.”
Boss: “AS IF I LACK IN PERSONALITY.”
Nikoly: “Ehhhhh… you’re kinda like the antithesis of Bowser in a literal way where your only trait is fighting him? And he’s gone now so…”
Boss is about to punt Nikoly to the moon and back when Squid pushes him back into his seat. Boss hisses as a response.
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “Next is ‘Tbh I don't know much about JSAB so just decided to vote for Boss just because - Blanks_Corner (<= Not sure if I needed to put that there)’.”
Boss: “...”
Boss sighs in disappointment.
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “And then, we have ‘Today's sponsor is NORDVPN!1!1!1!1!1!’.”
Boss: “WHAT IS THIS ‘NORD VPN’.”
Squid: “It’s a human thing. I overheard something about it once.”
Sundew: “I have never once heard a human say anything related to that.”
Woodie: “I am a human and I haven’t either!”
Squid: “Okay, but you also have to consider that most humans are dead in my home dimension, idiots.”
Woodie gives a blank expression of semi-fear. Sundew just ignores it.
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “Moving onto King Dedede, his first reason is ‘I am surprised at how little he has done and it’s getting annoying (by the way I was going to vote for bill last time but I missed the vote deadline but thankfully it wasn’t going to matter anyway and I am interested in what will happen to him now)’.”
King Dedede: “Blasphemous!”
Sundew: “Do you even know what that word means?”
King Dedede: “Sorta!”
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “Next is ‘King Dedede is one of BFDI's many background characters, but I can see possible expansions on Nikoly and Woodie (plus Nikoly’s a fish, instant safety from my votes), meanwhile Dedede appears to be staying stagnant. Sucks because I actually like Dedede a lot otherwise, but I can't foresee anything happening with him anytime soon.’.”
King Dedede: “At least it was sorta complimentative?”
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “And lastly, we have ‘There isn’t really a good reason for this, I just scaled the characters in this team from worst to best. You came last. -Kairos ‘.”
King Dedede: “I’m really getting all the flack, huh?”
Boss: “COULD BE WORSE.”
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “Onto the last of the final three, Nikoly!”
Nikoly sweats liquid coolant, scared of what his vote reasons will be.
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “First up is ‘I do not know who most of these characters are’.”
Squid: “Seems like I was right.”
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “Next is ‘I want to smoke and eat him
-VoltFalcon’. Oof, that’s a little brutal.”
Nikoly: “DO NOT EAT ME!”
Nikoly takes great offense to that.
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “Then we have ‘.... iknow nothing abt him im sorry -the goober’.”
Nikoly: “I’m not surprised about these votes…”
Squid: “Is it related to your weirdly expansive knowledge of things?”
Nikoly nods.
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “Finally, we have ‘i hit my head really hard while reading this and i heard a crack :( is that bad? oh and theres this red liquid on my head and it tastes like metal should i be concerned? - starry :3’. …That’s… that’s not good.”
Squid: “How do you even manage to do that.”
Red: “I think you should go to a doctor!”
Squid: “More like to the ER, jesus fucking christ.”
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “With all said and done, it’s time to reveal who’s eliminated!”
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “The first one of you three safe is…”
The final three exchanges glances.
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “Boss!”
Koe tosses a pear to Boss, who grabs it and squeezes it into his mouth brutally.
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “Nikoly and King Dedede. For the length of the poll’s run, you two swapped spots as the most voted plenty times. But only one of you came out on top as the safe one…”
King Dedede is gripping onto his hammer while shaking in fear. Nikoly is sweating coolant even more.
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “The last one safe is…”
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “Nikoly!”
Koe tosses the last pear to Nikoly, who eats it as it flies towards him.
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “Sorry, King Dedede, but your time on the show is dededone.”
King Dedede inhales…
And then casually gets out of his chair.
King Dedede: “I’m not too worried about losing. The prize didn’t truly interest me anyways, I only came along for the fun of it.”
King Dedede turns to the rest of the team.
King Dedede: “Promise me y’all will clobbah Not Naming It That?”
The entire team - minus Red - gives approval.
King Dedede: “Knew I could count on ya lot!”
King Dedede turns back to face Koe.
King Dedede: “I’m ready to go.”
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “Oh thank god we don’t have another angry eliminated contestant, phew. Thanks for being cooperative. See ya later!”
Koe blasts King Dedede with the THoE, bringing him into it.
Blocky: “Alright, let’s head out there and take our revenge!”
BFDI runs out of the room before Koe can even talk about heading out to do the next challenge… Well, Red doesn’t go out with them.
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “Aw, I didn’t even get to say any closing words!”
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “Well, Red, you should head out with them. You’ve got a challenge to do, after all!”
Red silently nods, getting out of his seat and slowly walking out. Koe follows after the rest of BFDI.
Cut to outside the building, where all remaining contestants have gathered. Again.
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “Welcome, everyone, to your fourth challenge! Pretty exciting! This time around we have a more competitive challenge to do.”
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “Said challenge is a battle tournament! You all will be put into a semi-randomized bracket and fight members of other teams to try and snatch the win. Whatever team has one of their members win the tournament will be able to pick who’s up for elimination! You’ll win each round by either killing your opponent or sending them out of bounds. And I must note, Bill Cipher and Hyehehe will NOT be competing in this challenge due to being too overpowered.”
Hyehehe gives a thumbs up and flies off while Bill Cipher groans in anguish.
Bill Cipher: “Come on man, I wanted to actually beat people up!”
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “Do that in your own time, kiddo, but I’m not ruining the challenge because of your powers!”
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “Another note is that before we get into the main tournament, we’ll have three pre-fights due to the odd number of contestants participating making it impossible to do it normally… and with all said and done, is everyone ready to get started?”
Blocky and Boss loudly go ‘WOOOOOOOOOOOO’ while most other contestants are hesitant.
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “Alright, let’s go then!”
Koe claps, teleporting himself and the teams into an arena’s seating, each team sitting in a different section. Koe, sitting in a luxurious seat floating midair on one edge, takes out a megaphone.
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “The first battle will be Stanley versus Torch God!”
Stanley and Torch God are teleported into the arena. Torch God imitates a snicker.
I am not good at narrating battles. At all. But I guess I can try? Though, at the same time, we’re fighting a living horde of torches, not even with limbs or anything… Got any ideas, Stanley? No? Well, we’re probably doomed. I’m surprised Torch God hasn’t even made an attack yet-
As if on cue, Torch God dashes straight into Stanley, catching him on fire.
That was on cue you jerk.
Lol! Anyways the fire kills Stanley eventually. Torch God does a little dance in celebration.
This flunked so badly I can physically feel the pain of losing, and I’m not even corporeal!
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “Stanley is out of the tournament! Torch God moves to the first round.”
Torch God is teleported back to NNIT’s section, and Stanley is revived and plopped in CF’s section.
N: “Aw, we lost a round already?”
Flowey: “What do you expect, he’s a human with no abilities or weapons! Of course he’s gonna fail!”
Pizza Steve: “We still got the rest of us, bro, it’ll be fine!”
Wheatley: “I sure hope we don’t lose everyone early, though, that’d be quite the embarrassment! And I wouldn’t want to live with that following me.”
Next in the arena is Red and Donkey.
Red: “Oh nononononononono not this early! I don’t want to die! I have so much to look forward to!”
Donkey: “Relax, you’re gonna be revived anyways, and I’ll go easy on ya!”
Donkey kicks Red, and he immediately dies, the top half of his body disappearing and a singular bone showing.
Donkey: “Darn, that must’ve hurt.”
But the second life kicks in, and Red is revived!
Red: “Oh, wait, that’s what second life meant? Hooray! Now I’m alive again!-”
Donkey kicks Red again, rekilling the bean man.
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “Red is out and Donkey moves on to round one!”
Red is back at BFDI’s section, and Donkey is back at RCoKJ’s section.
Donkey: “That was crazy! I just landed a single kick and half his body went poof! Gone!”
Glendale: “That doesn’t seem healthy for him to die that easily…”
Rocket: “Maybe it’s just the rule of his home?...”
To finish the pre-round, N and Squid are teleported into the arena.
N: “Alrighty. Gotta fight and get this win!”
Squid: “As if you’ll even come close to doing so.”
Squid immediately starts launching attacks towards N, showering him with spikes, lasers, and other obstacles, as N flies around trying to get a hit in and failing.
N: “Come on, lemme win!”
Squid: “Why would I let a lowly being such as you beat me?”
Squid creates a stream of blocks and spikes that strikes N in the chest, before slamming him into the ground. A puddle of oil surrounds him.
Squid: “And just like that, your pathetic life will come to a close.”
Squid finishes off N before he can respond, driving a spike straight into his core mercilessly.
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “Ooh, brutal. Squid gets to move onto the first round!”
N is revived and Squid is teleported to BFDI.
Squid: “And that’s how it’s done, team.”
Squid gives a glance towards Red, who scooches away slightly.
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “Now, onto round one! The challenge truly begins now! And for our first battle of the round, we’ll have Flowey versus Torch God!”
Flowey and Torch God appear in the arena.
Flowey: “You’re going down.”
Torch God writes ‘ARE YOU SURE ABOUT THAT’
Flowey: “Look, kid, I’ve been in hundreds of thousands of universes and have killed in a ton of them. Your words mean nothing to me.”
Flowey summons and fires a bunch of ‘friendliness pellets’ at Torch God, who casually burns them while circling around Flowey.
Flowey: “I’m not dying that easily, loser!”
Flowey digs into the ground, then pops up under a torch and knocks it into another, causing both to burst into a larger flame, eventually engulfing Torch God’s entire body. Flowey digs back into the ground before he can catch on fire and escapes to a different part of the arena.
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “And Flowey goes to the next round!”
Teleportation away!
Pizza Steve: “That was pretty smart, dude.”
Flowey: “Thank you, I know!”
While most of the team talks about Flowey’s win, Amelia is checking in on N.
Amelia: “...Are you okay?”
N: “My core feels a little squashed, eugh… even though I got revived…”
N: “And I’ve got a headache too! I didn’t even get hit in the head!”
Amelia: “Well, at least you have time to rest since you’re already out…”
N: “I know, but I still feel bad about losing…”
Amelia: “It’s okay… we can’t always win.”
Back in the arena, Spider-Ham and Artificer are the next ones to duel.
Spider-Ham: “Let's have a fair fight, alright?”
Artificer: “That was my plan anyways, I don’t use dirty tactics.”
Artificer begins lobbing spears at Spider-Ham, who dodges all of them with his spidey senses. He shoots a web stream at Artificer, trapping her against the ground, but she slashes it and continues launching attacks.
Spider-Ham: “Looks like my webs might not be enough, but I’ve got another idea!”
Spider-Ham snatches Artificer and uses webs to swing across the edge of the seating.
Artificer: “You said we were going to have a fair fight!”
Spider-Ham: “This is fair! It’s not like I’ve completely incapacitated you!”
Artificer jabs an explosive spear into Spider-Ham, exploding the two away from each other. Artificer lands back in the arena, while Spider-Ham is sent out of bounds.
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “First out of bounds loss! Artificer moves onwards.”
You know the drill by now.
Spider-Ham: “So close, too! But I must say, Artificer is quite the good opponent.”
King Julien: “Hey, you did great out there, no worries, loyal subject! Plus, we’ve still got the rest of the royal circle!”
Lamb: “I myself look forward to when I get a turn to fight.”
Next in the arena is Science Bear and the duo of Woodie and Lucy.
Science Bear: “Okay, I’m not the best at combat since I’ve always been more of the peaceful type, but if I must fight I could use some sort of machine to do so, I believe my tools are still on me so it won’t be too hard to do so, the question is if I have the materials. Plus, I might not have enough time to make something effective, which brings another layer of concer-”
Woodie lands a clean shot on Science Bear’s chest with Lucy, making the bear ragdoll onto the floor.
Woodie: “Phew. Glad there’s no more of that, eh, Lucy?”
Lucy: “Serves him right for boring us to near-death!”
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “Woodie and Lucy secure their victory for the round and move onto round two!”
Teleportation again! Yea
Science Bear: “That was quite embarrassing, but at least I don’t have to face the moral dilemma of bringing death to a fellow sentient being.”
Charlie the Unicorn: “If only everyone here had those morals! Half the people here want to kill someone else. Hell, the host even made it a challenge, probably to fuel that need!”
Test Tube: “Sometimes it’s just a natural thing that happens in competitions, though.”
Charlie the Unicorn: “What kind of competitions have you been in to say that?”
Test Tube: “It’s a bit of a long story.”
Blue, Hyehehe, and Warrior suddenly have popcorn.
Warrior: “You gotta tell us everything!”
Test Tube: “Alright, I guess I can spill the beans on it!”
Test Tube begins explaining, while Charlie just sits there confused on where the popcorn even came from…
Back in the arena, Lamb and Amelia are teleported in.
Lamb: “Yes, finally, my time to shine!”
Amelia: “...Oh no…”
Lamb takes out an odd-looking sword and begins slashing towards Amelia. She barely dodges the attacks, but doesn’t try to get any in on Lamb in retaliation.
Lamb: “Y’know, if you’re not going to actually throw any punches at me, why bother trying to survive in the first place?”
Amelia: “Because I don’t want to die???...”
Lamb: “Everyone dies eventually. I’m just speeding up the process.”
Lamb finally hits Amelia, shattering her.
Lamb: “My next opponent better not be a pushover.”
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “And Lamb moves onto round two!”
Lamb is teleported to RCoKJ, Amelia is revived at CF, yeah you know this stuff already.
Lamb: “A successful win. Splendid.”
Carl finishes his ‘coffee’.
Carl: “Cool.”
Next battle! Sundew versus Glendale.
Glendale: “I’m not ready for this, oh no…”
Sundew: “I’m not going to go easy on you regardless of if you’re prepared or not.”
Sundew immediately lunges at Glendale, who freaks out and runs off. Sundew chases by flying above the ground.
Glendale: “Stop following me!”
Sundew: “The whole point of this is that we’re supposed to fight, you idiot!”
Glendale slams into the wall, knocking herself out.
Sundew: “...”
Sundew: “This is just pathetic, honestly.”
Sundew picks up Glendale and tosses her out of bounds.
Sundew: “I’m not going to kill someone who messes up that badly.”
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “Sundew wins and goes to the second round!”
Sundew mockingly claps. She is teleported to BFDI as Glendale is teleported to RCoKJ.
Sundew: “I am thoroughly disappointed in that… I wouldn’t even call it a battle.”
Squid: “It’s only the nature of the game. Weaklings like her will be eradicated from this challenge come the next round.”
Next to fight are Plankton and Charlie the Unicorn.
Charlie the Unicorn: “Do I really have to fight? I’m not well-versed in it at all, and I’d rather just leave and go to sleep or something that isn’t this.”
Plankton: “I’m not having my chance to make it big in this competition get destroyed by a quitter! Fight me like a real man, you land creature!”
Charlie the Unicorn: “I don’t have a choice anyways.”
Plankton rushes towards Charlie.
Charlie the Unicorn: “Oh no, I’m so scared. This is super terrifying.”
Plankton: “Do NOT sarcasm me, fool!”
Plankton lunges at Charlie, but he just steps on Plankton, squishing him.
Charlie the Unicorn: “Is that all I needed to do? Really?”
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “And Charlie gets the win, going to round two!”
Charlie the Unicorn: “This is stupid.”
Teleporto
Plankton: “This is rigged! How am I supposed to go against someone that can crush me with one move of their foot?!”
Plasma Ball: “Life isn’t fair, you get used to it.”
Plankton: “Why would I want to get used to it?!”
Artificer shushes Plankton by lightly squishing him with a spear.
Plankton: “Okay, okay, fine I’ll shut up.”
Bill Cipher: “Get a grip on reality, people, you all suck so hard right now! The only one who’s won so far almost lost!”
Artificer: “Why do you suddenly care so much?”
Bill Cipher: “Because I’m ‘morally right’ and have never committed any crime- I’M PISSED BECAUSE I DON’T GET TO KILL PEOPLE! DUH!”
Torch God writes ‘ANGER ISSUES MUCH?’.
Nacho: “That’s the entire team…”
Torch God responds with ‘TRUE’. Glares are sent by everyone else towards the two.
Nacho: “I’m only telling the truth, y’know.”
The next battle is Nikoly versus Nacho.
Nikoly: “Yeah, finally, I get to fight!”
Nacho: “I’m going to die.”
Nikoly: “Yeah, that’s right!”
Nikoly pulls out a scythe.
Nikoly: “Prepare to taste my blade!”
Nacho shrugs as Nikoly dashes towards her, slashing the scythe at high speeds. She gets sliced in half with relative ease.
Nikoly: “Woooo! Yeah!”
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “Nikoly goes to round two!”
Nikoly does a funny little dance before being teleported to BFDI’s seating area, along with Nacho being revived at NNIT’s. Everyone is disappointed.
Artificer: “You could have at least tried to give a good fight.”
The Knight nods in agreement. Nacho simply shrugs and walks off.
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “Halfway point for this round! Enderman versus Carl!”
Enderman and Carl are teleported in.
Carl: “This is going to be easy as human pie.”
Carl makes the fatal mistake of making eye contact with Enderman.
Carl: “Are you ready to have your hands removed?”
Enderman screams loudly.
Carl: “I’ll take that as a yes.”
Carl rushes at Enderman, but they teleport out of the way and behind him, grabbing the llama and slamming him into the ground repeatedly. Carl breaks out of Enderman’s grip, however.
Carl: “I don’t stay down for long, y’know.”
Enderman doesn’t respond to the quip, instead ripping out a chunk of the floor and striking Carl in the face, knocking him backwards. Enderman then teleports to him and wrings him around before sending him flying into the air and back into the ground, finishing him off by stomping him into the ground and covering him up.
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “...That was a complex kill. Enderman gets the win!”
Enderman teleports themselves back to IDIOT as Carl is respawned at RCoKJ.
Charles: “...That was unnerving…”
Science Bear: “At least we know at least some of the full extent Enderman will go to when dealing with an enemy. And, we can confirm that we should not ever lock eyes with them lest that happen to us.”
Charlie the Unicorn: “I think I need some bleach to pour in my eyes.”
Next in the arena is Wheatley and Donkey.
Wheatley: “It seems that now is my time to show my true strength! Come at me, Donkey, for I am ready to get a win!”
Donkey: “Sure thing!”
Donkey runs towards Wheatley and kicks him straight out of the arena and into the out of bounds.
Wheatley: “NOOOOOOO-”
Donkey: “Nice.”
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “And Donkey goes to round two!”
Teleportation occurs.
Wheatley: “I am brassed off! That battle was supposed to be a win for me, and yet here I am, humiliated by being thrown into the sky at the very start!”
Flowey: “As if you weren’t being humiliated already?”
Wheatley: “Shush your mouth, scoundrel!”
Flowey: “Pay me and it’s a deal.”
Kris picks up Wheatley and puts him away from Flowey.
Flowey: “Thank you for getting that insufferable thing away from me!-”
Kris glares at Flowey menacingly.
Flowey: “What’d I do?!”
Pizza Steve and King Julien are teleported into the arena next.
Pizza Steve: “Don’t take this battle personally, please, I don’t mean any harm towards you, bro.”
King Julien: “Accepted! I have no ill will towards you as well.”
Pizza Steve and King Julien give each other a short grace period before starting to fight. Pizza Steve is easily overpowering King Julien.
Pizza Steve: “I really don’t want to kill you, dude, so I’m going to-”
Pizza Steve picks up King Julien and manages to throw him out of the arena and into the out of bounds area.
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “Pizza Steve moves on to round two!”
Pizza Steve gives a sigh of relief before being teleported back to CF’s seating, as King Julien is also teleported back to RCoKJ.
Rocket: “We’re dropping like flies in this contest!”
King Julien: “Don’t worry, I’m sure everyone left will be able to progress further! Plus, I confirmed no disagreement with Pizza Steve, so all is well.”
Glendale: “That’s a relief!”
The next two contestants teleported into the arena are Blocky and the Knight.
Blocky: “Perfect, I get to take down a NNIT member!”
The Knight scrapes the ground to make an annoying screech, showing disdain for Blocky. The two immediately run at each other, getting into a fist fight, before the Knight uses their nail to pick Blocky up like a kebab and throw him into the wall of the arena.
Blocky: “Ha! To think I’d die to that!”
Blocky quickly builds a fucking DIY MACHINE GUN, opening fire on the Knight. They dodge and weave through the bullet storm that quickly follows.
Blocky: “How are you avoiding everything?!”
The Knight dashes into Blocky and knocks the machine gun out of his hands, then crushes it, before slashing. Blocky takes the hit, but survives and slinks away to build his next weapon… a giant sword.
Blocky: “Sword versus sword, punk!”
Blocky rushes towards the Knight with his new sword, and brings it down on the bug to cleave them in half…
If it wasn’t for the Knight using their nail to block the sword from striking.
Blocky: “Wh-”
The Knight knocks the sword backwards, nearly slicing Blocky in half. Blocky backs away a bit before pulling out a wrench and throwing it at the Knight, only for it to be knocked straight back at him, hitting the block directly in the chest and knocking Blocky to the ground.
Blocky: “Oh my block, ow-”
The Knight dashes into Blocky, knocking him into another wall and applying enough force to break him in half. They confirm that he’s dead by tossing one of the pieces away.
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “And the Knight wins after the longest battle yet!”
The Knight simply nods as they are teleported back to NNIT, while Blocky is respawned at BFDI.
Blocky: “That was embarrassing.”
Next in the arena are Rocket and Charles.
Rocket: “Finally! I can use my rocket launcher!”
Charles: “Rocket launcher?!”
Rocket begins shooting at Charles, but they miss purely because of Charles’s stick body being very thin.
Charles: “Oh, this isn’t actually too bad!-”
A rocket smacks Charles in the face, knocking him over.
Rocket: “Yes! Woohoo!”
However, Charles isn’t dead, but he DOES realize he can’t win… Unless…
Charles: “It’s time for the greatest plan.”
Rocket: “The whatest what?”
Charles presses a button, and for a moment nothing happens.
Then a helicopter crashes into Rocket.
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “...Well then! Charles goes to round two.”
Charles is teleported to IDIOT, and Rocket is revived at RCoKJ.
Charles: “That was a close one!”
Test Tube: “Did you summon a helicopter from the sky?”
Charles: “It’s my helicopter! I haven’t actually been able to use it yet, but this was a good time to!”
Science Bear: “But would it not be broken after crashing into the ground?”
Charles: “It’ll fix itself. Don’t ask me how, it always does that.”
Next up in the arena are Warrior and Squid.
Warrior: “Yeah! Fighting time! Let’s go!”
Squid: “You’re going to meet your end.”
Warrior: “Come on, lighten up, give me a few quips or something instead of that! That’s boring!”
Squid: “The world will not always please you.”
Squid begins firing his spikes and lasers at Warrior, who puts up a better fight than N, slashing away at them as he makes his way up to Squid by using the sides of spikes as platforms.
Squid: “You’re not supposed to be jumping on the spikes!”
Warrior: “All is fair in love and war! Especially war!”
Warrior gets a hit on Squid, but Squid retaliates with a laser beam that disintegrates Warrior’s sword.
Warrior: “NOOOOOOOOO!”
Squid: “Can’t do shit now, kid.”
Squid impales Warrior while he’s incapacitated, grabbing the win.
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “Another brutal battle won by Squid!”
Teleportatio
Squid: “As long as Boss wins his fight, we’ll be set for dominating the competition.”
Boss: “WHY WOULD I NOT WIN?”
Squid: “The unpredictability of these battles is apparent. The donkey has wiped out two competitors despite being such a lowly creature, I would not be surprised if other weaker beings could pull off a win despite everything.”
Teleported into the arena next is Test Tube and Ploque.
Test Tube: “Oh no, if only I actually made an invention to fight with!”
Ploque, instead of saying anything in return like everyone else, simply throws a saw at Test Tube and shatters her.
Ploque: “Wow, I have been near-defeated, yet have made an amazing comeback and won! This is so cinematic and grand!”
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “Ploque moves on to the second round! Also shush your sarcasm.”
Ploque: “Aw.”
Telep
Ploque: “That was surprisingly easy. I didn’t get to do much! And I’m disappointed now.”
Rocket: “There’s always next round!”
Ploque: “True, true...”
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “Time for the penultimate battle of the round! Blue versus Boss!”
Blue quickly equips enchanted netherite armor, an elytra, some weapons, and a handful of potions before he and Boss are teleported into the arena.
Boss: “LET’S GET THIS OVER WITH QUICKLY. I CRUSH YOU AND YOU DON’T SUSTAIN ANY WORSE INJURIES.”
Blue disapproves, then chugs a couple potions and rushes towards Boss at insanely high speeds.
Boss: “WHAT THE ACTUAL FU-”
Blue knocks Boss down with a single slash, and when Boss gets back up and launches punches, absolutely nothing happens to the stickman.
Boss: “WHY?! ISN’T?! THIS?! WORKING?!”
After enduring multiple punches thrown by Boss, Blue decides to actually get to business. He jumps far into the air and uses his elytra and some firework rockets to fly around Boss, using a fishing rod to trap him. Boss tries breaking out, but Blue eventually encases Boss in the fishing line. It’s so thick that no attack, melee or ranged, can pierce through it.
Boss: “LET ME GO RIGHT NOW! I AM NOT LOSING TO THE LIKES OF YOU!”
Blue shrugs a no before pulling out a flint and steel. With one touch, the entire string catches alight, burning Boss to death. Blue imitates a sigh of relief knowing that he didn’t lose.
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “And with a spectacle of a battle, Blue goes to the second round!”
Blue celebrates as he gets teleported back to IDIOT. Boss is revived at BFDI’s area.
Boss: “I AM TRULY APPALLED, HOW DID THAT EVEN HAPPEN?!”
Squid: “I did say that it was possible.”
Woodie: “That hoser drank some weird liquids before fighting! Isn’t that cheating?”
Squid: “I regret to inform you that cheating is most likely legal.”
Woodie: “Well, it shouldn’t be!”
Lucy: “Yeah!”
Boss begins ranting about his loss as the rest of the team converses about it as well. Red uses the opportunity to sneak away and make an escape to IDIOT. By the time he gets to them, the next battle has started.
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “Performing the last fight of round one is Kris and Plasma Ball! Then it’ll be time to go to the second round!”
Kris and Plasma Ball are teleported into the arena. Plasma Ball already knows she’s just going to be shattered.
Plasma Ball: “Just go ahead and do it already. There’s no point in making a spectacle out of it.”
However, Kris does the unexpected and instead… initiates a Deltarune-styled battle?
Plasma Ball: “Wh-”
Kris also calls N into battle somehow.
N: “Hey! I was relaxing in the bleachers! Why am I here?”
> FIGHT
> FIGHT
N: “Fight?!”
Kris nods.
N: “Alrighty then… I guess I can do that since I’m already here!”
Plasma Ball: “What are you two talking about-”
Kris and N both hit Plasma Ball with perfect timing, taking out half her HP.
Plasma Ball: “Ow! What the hell was that?!”
In the bullet board, glass shards fire from both sides. The heart dodges them perfectly.
> FIGHT
> FIGHT
Kris and N once again hit Plasma Ball with perfect timing, defeating her and winning the battle.
N: “Woo! We did it! Now I’m going to go back to resting peacefully.”
N slowly flies back to CF’s seating.
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “An unusual method of fighting, but hey, I’ll allow it! Kris moves onto round two - which will begin shortly!”
Kris is teleported to the rest of CF, and Plasma Ball is respawned.
Artificer: “What even happened there?”
Plasma Ball: “I don’t know, I was just going to give up and then the Kris person did some weird thing and- I’m not sure how to even explain it, god!”
Bill Cipher: “If I wasn’t pissed about not being able to fight I would laugh at that! So keep that in mind.”
Plasma Ball: “Shut your Dorito Nacho Cheese ass mouth.”
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “Time for the second round of the tournament! The fighters participating in this round are Artificer, Blue, Charles, Charlie the Unicorn, Donkey, Enderman, Flowey, the Knight, Kris, Lamb, Nikoly, Pizza Steve, Ploque, Sundew, Squid, and Woodie and Lucy! The first battle will be Flowey versus Artificer!”
Flowey and Artificer are teleported into the arena.
Artificer: “We meet again, you petaled pest.”
Flowey: “I finally get to enact my revenge upon you! Hahahahahaha!”
Artificer: “We’ll see about that.”
Artificer lobs explosive spears at Flowey, but the flower expects this and hides underground as soon as Artificer throws the first one. Many rings of friendliness pellets surround Artificer and slam into her. They don’t deal much damage on their own, but it stacks up in the hordes that Artificer can’t fully clear. She ends up on the brink of death after a while.
Artificer: “I won’t let you kill me.”
Flowey pops back up from the ground.
Flowey: “And what are you going to do to stop that? You’re basically almost dead! A few more hits and you’re gone! Boom! And I’ll defeat your stupid ass and become supreme!”
Artificer: “If I can’t defeat you, I’ll go out on my own terms instead.”
Artificer throws an explosive spear right in front of herself, blowing herself up so Flowey can’t get the final hit.
Flowey: “Come on! That’s unsatisfying! Fuck you!”
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “And Flowey wins, going to round three!”
Flowey grumbles as he is teleported back to CF, and Artificer is revived at NNIT.
Pizza Steve: “Why do you look so angry? You won the battle, dude!”
Flowey: “Artificer still got the last laugh and I am INCREDIBLY mad about it!”
Pizza Steve: “You still won…”
All Flowey is is a bundle of trouble, isn’t he, Stanley? …No, you may not call me one as well. Rude.
Next in the arena is Woodie n Lucy and Lamb.
Woodie: “Time to lead this lamb to the slaughter, eh, Lucy?”
Lucy: “Yep! He may not be a tree, but he’ll be chopped regardless! Woo!”
Lamb: “It’s funny that you think you have the upper hand in this battle. Those who oppose me all fall in the end. You are not any different.”
Lamb pulls out his sword, and he and Woodie lock into a fierce battle of swings that always get deflected by the other’s weapon.
Lamb: “You cannot delay your fate any longer, fool!”
Woodie: “We’re not going down to your blade!”
Lucy: “Yeah!”
Lamb dashes away from the two suddenly, causing Woodie to slam Lucy into the ground instead.
Woodie: “Oh darn, sorry Lucy!”
Lucy: “It’s fine, just get me out of here!-”
Lamb uses some fervour-fueled magic to fling Lucy out of the ground and straight into Woodie’s heart, killing him quickly.
Lucy: “You monster! How could you?!”
Lamb: “Such is how the battlefield works, little one. Those who dissent against the stronger force will die by their hand. The cycle of life is not merciless.”
Lamb picks up Lucy.
Lucy: “Unhand me!”
Lamb ignores Lucy’s pleas, instead inspecting her.
Lamb: “It is quite impressive the way you’ve been forged so intricately. A shame I will have to eradicate you as well.”
Lucy: “Are you trying to flirt with and threaten me at the same time, weirdo?!”
Lamb: “I dunno, am I?”
Lamb tosses Lucy into the air and uses more fervour-fueled magic to shoot her away.
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “Lamb moves onto round three!”
Lamb is teleported to RCoKJ, Lucy is teleported to BFDI, and Woodie is revived and also sent to BFDI.
Woodie: “What a keener.”
Nikoly: “I don’t like him. I got second-hand embarrassment from watching… whatever he was doing with Lucy…”
Woodie stares at Nikoly.
Woodie: “What did he do?”
Lucy: “That nutcase tried to flirt with me, WHILE threatening me!”
Woodie looks over at Lamb ominously.
Woodie: “I am going to have a stern ‘talking’ with him after the challenge.”
Nikoly: “I don’t think it’s worth trying, he’s too strong. He wiped you guys out with ease!”
Woodie: “Darn, you’re right.”
Next in the arena is Sundew and Charlie the Unicorn.
Sundew: “Don’t be a pushover like the last battle.”
Charlie the Unicorn: “No promises.”
Charlie runs around as Sundew begins flying above him, looking for an opening to strike. Taking notice of this, Charlie decides to use the wall to bounce off of and strike Sundew right in the snout with his hoof, with enough force to knock her to the ground and make her seemingly unconscious.
Charlie the Unicorn: “You told me not to be a pushover, and here I am having sent you down to the earth.”
Charlie the Unicorn: “...but I’m not a monster. Murdering reasonable people for no good purpose isn’t right. I’ll just bring you out of bounds so I don’t have to do the deed of killing.”
Charlie grabs Sundew, manages to get to the seating area, and tosses her over the wall.
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “Charlie the Unicorn continues onwards to round three!”
Teleportiors
Charlie the Unicorn: “This feels wrong on so many levels.”
Test Tube: “It’s the challenge, there’s not much we can do, unfortunately.”
Charlie the Unicorn: “We can just… refuse to do the challenge outright.”
Science Bear: “Doing so would be a major loss, as we would lose any potential of winning, meaning we’d be at a chance of going up for elimination no matter what as any team could decide we are worthy of that spot. Plus, I’m not sure some of us would want to give up, anyways.”
Science Bear motions to Blue and Enderman, who are taking the opportunity to train themselves and each other for their next fights.
Charles: “I mean, I’d like to just give up though, but then I’d feel a little bad about it…”
Enderman suddenly disappears from the seating, making Blue fall over from lightly punching the air instead of Enderman.
Charlie the Unicorn: “And there they go.”
In the arena, Enderman has been teleported in, along with Nikoly.
Nikoly: “Woo! Battle two! Let’s go!”
Nikoly is smart and doesn’t make eye contact with Enderman to truly enrage them, however Enderman is still ready to fight.
Nikoly starts throwing scythes at Enderman, but they teleport away from each one as it draws close. Nikoly begins throwing them faster, however Enderman just teleports faster as well. Enderman then changes tactics by teleporting in a ring around Nikoly, going so fast it looks like there’s multiple Endermans ominously standing in a circle.
Nikoly throws some scythes at Enderman, but they all miss because Enderman ends up not being at that location despite visually looking like it. Eventually, Nikoly realizes this isn’t going to work, but instead of giving up he devises a new plan…
Nikoly spins around rapidly, throwing massive rays of Espacoins that end up hitting and pummeling Enderman, knocking them away and into the wall where they are pinned by the Espacoins. Nikoly catches up to them, and realizes that Enderman’s not able to teleport in this state, therefore knowing that the victory is his to take.
Nikoly throws a handful of scythes at Enderman, eventually killing them - via Enderman turning into a puff of smoke and leaving behind an ender pearl. Nikoly picks up the pearl and looks at it.
Nikoly: “thee killion”
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “And Nikoly wins, going to round three!”
Nikoly: “Yeah!!! Let’s go!!!”
Nikoly is teleported back to BFDI’s section, as Enderman is respawned at IDIOT’s.
Nikoly: “Woo, that was a hard one!”
Squid: “I must say, I’m impressed at your battle skills.”
Blocky: “That was totally awesome!”
Nikoly: “:D”
Nikoly: “Also, at the end of the battle I got this weird pearl thing, look!”
Nikoly pulls out the ender pearl.
Squid: “That is a peculiar looking object. I’d say we keep it for later use.”
Nikoly does a thumbs up - despite not having any thumbs? - and puts it away in his non-existent pockets… I don’t think I want to question how that works.
Over at IDIOT, Enderman is sad about their loss. Blue pats them on the back to try and comfort them.
Science Bear: “According to my notes, Charlie the Unicorn, along with Charles and Blue if they survive this round, will be the only ones able to make it farther. That’s less than half our team able to participate.”
Warrior: “Hey, why doesn’t Hyehehe just sneak in there and fight? They’ve done weird stuff before!”
Hyehehe: “Because I don’t feel like it, I feel like causing chaos elsewhere! Hyehehehe!”
Hyehehe flies off to who knows where.
Warrior: “...Aw.”
Red is still standing next to IDIOT’s area, waiting for Enderman, however Charlie notices him first and isn’t too happy.
Charlie the Unicorn: “Hey, what are you doing over here? You’re on another team, are you trying to sabotage us, or get intel on plans?”
Red: “Nononono, I don’t do that stuff, that’s impostor behavior, I-”
Enderman notices Red came over and teleports over to him, defending the bean man from Charlie’s accusations.
Charlie the Unicorn: “I can’t understand what you’re trying to say when you speak in whatever language you’re speaking.”
Enderman makes a distorted sigh sound before pulling out a sign and writing on it, explaining why Red is over here.
Charlie the Unicorn: “...Oh. Then I guess it’s fine. Apologies.”
Charlie walks away to sit back down, as Red joins IDIOT in watching the next battle…
Donkey and Pizza Steve are the next two teleported into the arena.
Pizza Steve: “No hard feelings from this battle, right? I don’t want anything to get too heated!”
Donkey: “Sure, but I’ll still smoke ya!”
Cut to Donkey literally smoking Pizza Steve, by cooking him in an oven.
Donkey: “Oh, the food’s done!”
Donkey pulls out a cooked, definitely dead Pizza Steve and eats him.
Donkey: “Mmm…”
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “And Donkey wins in an unexpected way! He’ll be going to round three.”
TLeportion
Donkey: “That tasted good!”
Ploque: “Did you… eat him?”
Glendale: “That’s a little weird…”
Spider-Ham: “Yeah, the dude was alive and living and you kinda cooked him!”
Donkey: “He’s a living pizza, of course I’d do that!”
Carl: “I condone this.”
Ploque: “Of course you do.”
Next in the arena is the Knight and Charles.
Charles: “Oh, this battle’s going to be harder to win, isn’t it…”
The Knight nods, before immediately airdashing towards Charles, stabbing his forehead.
Charles: “Oooof, owwwww, that hurts like hell!”
Charles whips around to face the Knight and tries getting some punches in, but each one is deflected by their nail. The Knight then smacks Charles in the face with the nail, and plunges it into him, killing him.
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “And the Knight wins in the shortest battle this round! Crazy.”
Telprotino
Artificer: “Hey, good job out there, again.”
Knight looks satisfied with the result of their past two battles.
Bill Cipher: “Nice to know that some people aren’t failures in battle!”
Plankton: “Can you can it with the ‘ohhhhhh everyone sucks at fighting’ stuff, you stuck-up Illuminati ripoff?! It’s not our fault some of us aren’t physically able to do that and that our opponents hit harder than frying pans!”
Bill Cipher simply crushes Plankton in response.
Nacho: “Nice.”
Plasma Ball: “Nice?!-”
Artificer: “It’s Nacho. Don’t question it.”
Next in the arena is Squid and Ploque.
Ploque: “Alright, gimme a good fight! Don’t just explode in one hit that would suck.”
Squid: “I’m sure I’ll give something of an adequate battle in your terms.”
Squid begins summoning spikes from the ground, which Ploque dodges while flinging saws that keep missing or being dodged. This cycle continues until Squid decides to add lasers into the mix, keeping Ploque constantly on her toes and sometimes getting a hit in. However, Ploque’s saws also start having better accuracy and even hit a few times.
Squid: “You will not make a fool of me!”
Ploque: “Heh heh, sure-”
Squid stabs Ploque straight in the heart with a spike while she’s distracted retorting, causing her to slump to the ground dead.
Squid: “As I said. You will not.”
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “Squid goes onwards to round three!”
Tleporting
Squid: “That adversary was stronger than the last two. I expect a rising trend in this going forward. Nikoly, as our only other competitor still in, I advise you to stay aware of this in the future.”
Nikoly: “Got it, Squid!”
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “Now, for the final battle of round two… Blue versus Kris!”
Blue and Kris are teleported into the arena. Blue starts to drink his potions when Kris initiates the Deltarune-esque battle scene again, leaving Blue confused. …And yes, N is once again summoned on Kris’s side.
N: “Oh, this is a multi-time thing? Okay! I guess I could do this instead of doing nothing, I’ve already got plenty of rest from my first battle…”
> DEFEND
> FIGHT
Blue stares with mild confusion before being struck with a perfect attack by N, losing only a sliver of HP due to the enchanted netherite armor. The attack in the bullet boardis lines of swords moving downwards and slashing, which is avoided perfectly. Kris realizes it won’t be as easy to defeat Blue due to his armor, so he decides to change tactics.
> DEFEND
> MAGIC
N: “Magic?! I don’t have any magic powers-”
> NaniteBeam
N: “What the heck is a Nanite Beam??? I don’t know what that even is, Kris, how am I supposed to use it?”
> NaniteBeam
N: “Didn’t you hear me, Kris? Just lemme go and do the regular fighting thing instead!”
Blue gives an odd ‘glance’ - not really cause no eyes, but ehhhh - towards N, as he tries to back away but can’t because… well, he’s kinda stuck in the battle interface.
> NaniteBeam
> NaniteBeam
> NaniteBeam
> NaniteBeam
Despite Kris’s attempts, N refuses to do ‘NaniteBeam’.
N: “I can’t do any Nanite Beam thingies!”
Kris tries one last time.
> NaniteBeam
N gives in and tries to actually use NaniteBeam, shooting out a concentrated beam of nanite acid from his syringe tail and dealing massive damage to Blue. Kris gives a small grin at the sight of it working.
N: “That felt weird…”
Kris shrugs as the bullet board appears again, this time with crossbows shooting arrows. Once again, the attacks are dodged perfectly by the heart.
> DEFEND
> MAGIC
> NaniteBeam
N: “Again? Alright, then, I guess I can do it!”
N uses NaniteBeam again, taking out Blue completely… leaving only a puddle of acid where the stickman once stood.
N: “Oh, that’s… that’s pretty brutal.”
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “And Kris wins, going onto round three!”
Kris claps as he and N are teleported back to CF and Blue is revived at IDIOT.
Pizza Steve: “What happened there?”
N simply shrugs, not knowing himself. Kris doesn’t answer.
I have a bad feeling about this, but I can’t do anything about it. You get me, Stanley? …No? Just me? Dang.
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “With that battle finished, it’s time to enter round three! The competitors who will be fighting this time are Charlie the Unicorn, Donkey, Flowey, the Knight, Kris, Lamb, Nikoly, and Squid! Starting off this round will be Flowey versus Lamb.”
Flowey and Lamb appear in the arena.
Flowey: “I am so going to kick your ass.”
Lamb: “We’ll see about that.”
Flowey starts firing friendliness pellets at Lamb, as he slashes through them with ease while running towards Flowey. The flower digs into the ground right before Lamb gets to him, appearing where the sheep started from and continuing to send friendliness pellets.
Flowey: “Hah! Loser!”
Lamb: “The battle is not lost yet, pathetic being.”
Lamb uses fervour to use the Hounds of Fate curse, shooting multiple dark projectiles that home in and severely damage Flowey, along with ripping off his petals
Flowey: “JESUS FUCKING CHRIST, OW-”
Lamb then takes the opportunity to go in for the kill, chopping off his stem and finishing him off.
Lamb: “Just another talker who isn’t truly strong enough in the end.”
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “And Lamb wins the first battle of round three, going onto the fourth!”
Lamb is teleported to RCoKJ, and Flowey is respawned at CF.
Flowey: “THAT BITCH! I WAS SO CLOSE!”
Amelia: “I think that… it’s best if you calm down about it…”
Flowey: “Calm down about it? Ohhhhhh, I am NOT going to calm down a SINGLE BIT about it!”
Flowey tries rushing over to RCoKJ’s seating area, but Kris grabs him before he can.
Flowey: “UNHAND ME! I MUST TAKE REVENGE!”
Wheatley: “Hey, I think it’s best if you listen to Amelia’s advice! Being a big ol’ grump about it isn’t going to do much good in the end, isn’t it?”
Flowey hisses at Wheatley in response.
Wheatley: “okthenigetitiunderstanddontkillmeplease”
Next to fight is Charlie the Unicorn and Nikoly.
Charlie the Unicorn: “I could care less about how this goes, honestly.”
Nikoly: “Cool!”
Nikoly instantly spams scythes at Charlie, killing him quickly and efficiently.
Nikoly: “That was fast!”
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “And Nikoly wins in a very fast battle, going to round four!”
Teleportio
Charlie the Unicorn: “Well, we’re not winning this contest anymore. Yay.”
Charles: “How’d you even die that fast?”
Charlie the Unicorn: “I wasn’t given any time to avoid his attacks. It hurt. A lot.”
Next to be teleported into the arena is Donkey and the Knight.
Donkey: “Time to sweep once again, let’s go!”
The Knight stares blankly at Donkey before spam-hitting him, as he is unable to fend off the attacks. They win.
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “The Knight goes to round four!”
niotatropeleT
Donkey: “Aw man!”
King Julien: “An unfortunate loss indeed, but at least not all is over for us! Lamb still remains within the competition, and I assure that he’ll take the crown.”
Glendale: “He already has a crown, though?...”
Spider-Ham: “It’s a metaphor!”
Glendale: “Ohhhhh, okay!”
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “And now, for the last battle of round three already… Squid versus Kris!”
Both contestants are teleported into the arena.
Squid: “Finally, I don’t have to listen to boring pre-game talk before we start fighting. That’s a big relief, because I can just take you out now-”
Kris once again initiates the battle sequence.
Squid: “...”
Squid: “What.”
And N is back again.
N: “Another battle. Woo! Yeah…”
He’s a little tired from the magic he used in the last battle, and in general seems a bit more glum.
Squid: “Are you kidding me? A two versus one?”
> DEFEND
> MAGIC
> NaniteBeam
N: “Nanite beams again? Alright…”
N shoots a nanite beam as Kris defends, damaging Squid for a good chunk of his HP.
Squid: “Ow, fucking hell-”
The bullet board appears again, this time with Squid’s signature spikes popping up on each side as lasers fire in the middle. This time, the heart gets hit once, but due to defending Kris isn’t damaged as much by it.
> DEFEND
> MAGIC
> NaniteBeam
N fires another nanite beam, bringing Squid to near-death levels of HP.
Squid: “Where the hell even is this?! Some sort of pocket dimension?!”
N: “Don’t question it…”
Squid: “...”
Squid: “Something is wrong with you, I can tell.”
Squid: “I’m not an empathist in any way but as an AI, I’m able to see that. And… I fear you may be going on a bad path.”
In the bullet board, lasers shoot from the sides as rows of tiles appear on the edges. It is avoided perfectly.
Instead of responding to Squid’s statement, N stays silent.

Squid is killed, and once again a puddle of acid lies on the floor. Instead of saying something about it again, N just stares at it…
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “And with that, Kris wins and goes to round four! Meaning, we’re getting to the penultimate round in a few moments!”
Kris and N are teleported to CF, and Squid is revived at BFDI’s seating.
Squid: “...”
Blocky: “What’s wrong, big guy?”
Squid: “The member of Cool Friends known as N… There is something about him that is off.”
Blocky: “Sounds deep, but I don’t really care about the other team’s mishaps!”
Squid: “It is not just detrimental to him. If left unchecked, it may endanger us and all other teams.”
Blocky: “Eh, sure, I’m just gonna go to sleep. Wake me up when the final battle happens!”
Blocky instantly starts snoring. Squid sighs.
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “Time for round five! After this, we’ll have one final battle to determine the winner. The four people competing in this round are the Knight, Kris, Lamb, and Nikoly! The first of two battles for this round will be between the latter two, so get ready to see a brawl!”
Lamb and Nikoly are teleported into the arena.
Nikoly: “Let’s go, time for another fight! Woo!”
Lamb: “Your demeanor will be your downfall in this fight, fish one.”
Nikoly: “Yeah, sure, try saying that when you’re dead! Oh, yeah right, dead people don’t talk, and neither should you!”
Nikoly begins flinging scythes at Lamb, who dodges each one. The sheep runs towards Nikoly to strike with his sword, but Nikoly throws up an Espacoin to block the hit. Nikoly then lands a punch on Lamb, who is knocked backwards slightly, though it didn’t end up hurting at all. Lamb runs at Nikoly again, and this time Nikoly doesn’t end up blocking it, taking the hit instead and being thrown against a wall.
However, this doesn’t harm the fish much, as he continues throwing scythes like nothing happened. Lamb deflects the scythes as he inches closer to Nikoly, who starts throwing Espacoins - though this doesn’t do much to help.
Lamb: “Traditionally, sheep do not hunt fish, let alone anything. But I will happily tear you apart to discard you from this battle and to be the champion.”
Nikoly: “I’m not just some dumb prey you can get rid of! I’ll show you!”
Nikoly summons laser beams that shoot towards Lamb, though they don’t end up hitting.
Lamb: “Your attacks are truly pathetic. You expect to beat me with that?”
Lamb has made his way to meet Nikoly face-to-face, and points his sword right where Nikoly’s heart is.
Lamb: “You have five seconds to say your final words before I turn you into nothing more than a fish filet.”
Nikoly: “I won’t… die to you…”
Lamb: “Too bad!”
Lamb drives the sword into Nikoly, who drops to the ground coughing… but he manages to survive, just barely…
Lamb: “Well, looks like that didn’t finish the job. One more should do the trick-”
NIKOLY: “Your payment is due. Please (#%(@%(T@#%(4@#%#@*($(*!@#TYhrjJHH To continue services.”
Nikoly rises from the ground, angrily gripping a scythe.
Lamb: “What- impossible!”
Nikoly’s body turns an orange color, as his eyes become more fish-like, staring deep into Lamb’s soul.
Lamb: “Alright, this is where I say what the actual fuck…”
Nikoly? stays silent for a moment…
OBSERVED NIKOLY: “. . .”
OBSERVED NIKOLY: “GIVE ME BACK COINS NOW I DID.”
A horrendous torrent of attacks from Observed Nikoly, and Lamb can’t fend all of them off. Even his curses don’t help much.
Lamb: “I am not losing to the likes of you! I will win this battle and this challenge as a whole!”
OBSERVED NIKOLY: “THEE KILLION COINS.”
Observed Nikoly spawns living versions of Espacoins, who swarm Lamb, tearing through his body as the scythes, lasers, and non-sentient Espacoins continue pummeling the sheep.
Lamb: “I’M NOT GOING OUT LIKE THIS-”
Lamb goes silent as the living Espacoins finish him off. Only shreds of his cloak remain.
OBSERVED NIKOLY: “YOUR FREE TRIAL HAS EXPIRED.”
Observed Nikoly falls to the ground, as he reverts to normal and passes out.
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “...”
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “...That was… interesting, to say the least.”
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “Nikoly wins, though, and goes to the final battle!”
Nikoly is teleported back to BFDI and healed, and Lamb is respawned at RCoKJ.
King Julien: “What happened out there?”
Lamb remains in silence, shuddering from what had occurred.
Glendale: “I think it’s best we let him rest, he looks pretty disturbed…”
Spider-Ham: “That was the most brutal battle yet!”
Carl: “I enjoyed watching it.”
Ploque and Rocket both give glances towards Carl as they scoot away from him.
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “Now, for the penultimate battle, before we get to the finale… the Knight versus Kris!”
The Knight and Kris appear in the arena. The Knight already knows what’s going to happen from Plasma Ball’s experience, and isn’t fazed when Kris initiates battle, once again bringing along N. What the Knight isn’t prepared for is, however, what happens next…
> DEFEND
> MAGIC
> NaniteBeam
The Knight is struck by N’s nanite beam, taking half damage. However, they have a trick up their sleeve. Instead of adhering to the typical battle style, the Knight instead slashes the top of the bullet board with their nail, breaking it. They then hop into it and start attacking the heart directly. Kris looks concerned about this, while N is… uncharacteristically placid…
The heart manages to dodge most attacks, with those hitting being weakened by Kris’s DEFEND, and eventually it manages to get to the action buttons.
> DEFEND
> MAGIC
> NaniteBeam
N shoots another nanite beam, but since the Knight has escaped the format, they aren’t hit. The bug then slashes the DEFEND option, eliminating its usage. The heart has to resort to having Kris FIGHT instead.
> FIGHT
> MAGIC
> NaniteBeam
This time, Kris’s attack, while not getting perfect accuracy, hits the Knight, knocking them back into place for NaniteBeam to decimate them, leaving behind another acid puddle. Kris sighs in relief as N simply stands. Eerily.
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “And Kris wins, going to the final fight, which will start up shortly!”
Kris and N are teleported to CF once again, as the Knight is respawned at NNIT. At this point, every team but RCoKJ is aware of Kris’s weird powers relating to starting encounters.
The Knight sketches in the seating a drawing of N’s unusual behavior and the heart seemingly having a mind of its own, then motions Plasma Ball to look.
Plasma Ball: “That’s not good at all. We need to keep a close eye on both of them.”
Artificer looks over.
Artificer: “Keep a close eye on who?”
Plasma Ball: “Who else but the biggest adversaries of this tournament, Kris and N? There’s something weird going on with the two, and not just their… weird fighting tactic.”
Artificer: “I see.”
Artificer turns to Torch God.
Artificer: “You have a good connection with N, right?”
Torch God makes a thumbs up to confirm they do.
Artificer: “Good. Something’s up with him according to the Knight, so I need you to ensure nothing dangerous happens, not just for his wellbeing but to keep us safe. Along with that, one of his teammates, Kris, also has been showing oddities, so if you could keep an eye on them that would be appreciated.”
Torch God writes ‘CAN DO ONCE DONE’.
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “Now that the intermission is over, we can finally get to…”
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “THE FINAL BATTLE!”
Confetti falls all over the seating area.
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “Our final fighters are Kris and Nikoly, so give a round of applause for them!”
CF and BFDI cheer for their respective fighters, with BFDI obviously being the louder of the two. NNIT boos Nikoly, and IDIOT and RCoKJ remain silent, except for Carl who is supporting Nikoly… ok then
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “The last stand begins in three…”
Kris gets up from their seat, and looks towards N, who simply nods while having a blank face.
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “Two…”
Nikoly gives a show of juggling scythes for his supporters before he goes into battle.
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “One…”
Plasma Ball and the Knight hold binoculars, watching the arena closely to look at any further irregularities.
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “GO!”
Kris initiates the battle sequence immediately, which Nikoly already expected from Squid’s experience.
Nikoly: “I’m not scared of your tactics!”
Kris shrugs as N appears, monotonously staring.
Nikoly: “...Not scared of him either!”
Nikoly actually goes first somehow, as the bullet board is filled with falling Espacoins. The heart gets hit multiple times this time around, and since Kris hasn’t defended, they take a fair amount of damage.
> DEFEND
> DEFEND
In a twist of events, instead of using magic, Kris - or the heart, perhaps? - has N defend.
Nikoly: “Oooh, tactic changes? That won’t work on me, though!”
Nikoly’s next attack in the bullet board is a row of scythes crossing the board. The heart avoids this attack just BARELY.
> DEFEND
> DEFEND
Nikoly: “You’re not going to beat me if you just keep shielding, y’know!”
In the bullet board, lasers home into the middle as a scythe flies down it as soon as the lasers dissipate. The attack hits the heart, damaging Kris a little bit.
> DEFEND
> DEFEND
Nikoly: “...”
Nikoly: “I don’t mean to be rude, but are you genuinely stupid?”
Nikoly: “Eh, whatever, a win is a win!”
The next attack is a repeat of the falling Espacoins. The heart gets hit multiple times again, dealing more damage to Kris, though not as much as the first run of the attack.
> DEFEND
> DEFEND
Nikoly: “Now I feel like you’re just messing with me.”
Kris and N both look blankly at Nikoly.
Nikoly: “Yeeeeeep.”
The scythe rows attack happens once again, this time actually hitting the heart. Kris has reached dangerously low HP.
> DEFEND
> DEFEND
Nikoly: “Why bother defending if you’re just going to die anyways? You’re practically gone!”
Silence.
Nikoly: “I guess I’m just talking to myself. Rude! At least return the quips like everyone else! It’s not as fun when your words are hitting a brick wall.”
A new attack happens this time, with rings of Espacoins flying out from the middle. This is the straw that breaks the camel’s back, as the heart ends up getting hit enough times for Kris to be knocked out.
Nikoly: “Yes! Let’s go! I won!”
…
Nikoly and N are still in battle.
Nikoly: “Uh… Koe? Are you there? Where’s the announcement?”
> MAGIC
Nikoly: “Am I just stuck here? That’s a boring way to go. Especially when this guy won’t talk to me!”
> AcidRain
N suddenly speaks.
N: “AcidRain?”
Nikoly: “Oh FINALLY, you speak- wait, acid rain?”
N: “...”
N: “I don’t know a spell called AcidRain.”
> AcidRain
N: “Did you not hear me?”
Nikoly looks concerned now.
Nikoly: “Are… are you good? Are you having hallucinations or something? I’d probably have them too if I was stuck in this place multiple times in semi-quick succession-”
> AcidRain
N: “I said I don’t know a spell called AcidRain.”
Nikoly: “N?”
Nikoly: “I don’t know much about you…”
Nikoly: “But this isn’t how you normally act, right? I thought you were a happy-go-lucky guy! Not some ominous dude that stares at you from the back alley when you’re walking home at night and kinda looks like he’ll kidnap you if you don’t run immediately.”
> AcidRain
N goes silent.
> AcidRain
N begins whispering to himself, not even Nikoly can hear him.
N: “This isn’t Kris saying these things, is it?”
N: “...”
N: “Fine.”
N: “I’ll do it.”
N: “Even if I don’t know it.”
N: “Just to make you happy.”
N: “...”
N: “And to be stronger.”
A giant beam of acid is fired from N’s syringe tail, enveloping everything in a yellow glow…
When the glow fades, Nikoly is completely gone. N stares with no visible emotion.
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “Aaaaaaaand Kris wins! Well, I guess technically N did since Kris died halfway through, but it doesn’t matter because Cool Friends won the tournament anyways!”
CF cheers as Kris is revived and both them and N are teleported to the correct seating. BFDI boos, as NNIT also celebrates Nikoly’s failure - speaking of Nikoly, he is revived at BFDI’s area.
Squid: “You saw what I meant, right, Nikoly?”
Nikoly: “...”
Nikoly: “I saw far, far worse than that.”
Nikoly: “I’m going to sleep now. See you all tomorrow!”
Nikoly instantly falls asleep.
Over at CF, Pizza Steve congratulates Kris.
Pizza Steve: “Good job, man!”
Kris smiles while high-fiving Pizza Steve. Pizza Steve slides over to N.
Pizza Steve: “Good job to you too, my dude N!”
N says nothing, just sitting idly.
Pizza Steve: “...N? You there? Got a fly in your brain?”
Amelia walks over.
Amelia: “Maybe he exerted too much energy… and needs rest…”
Pizza Steve: “Makes sense to me! Well, have a good rest then, bro.”
N slowly nods before flying off.
Wheatley: “So, who do you guys think we should pick to go up for elimination?”
Flowey: “It’s gotta be that STUPID TEAM WITH THE STUPID CAT AND BUG ON IT-”
Kris grabs Flowey by the stem to shush him, before writing on a piece of paper ‘we should vote on it’.
Pizza Steve: “I like how you think!”
Wheatley: “Sure!”
Amelia: “That’s a good idea…”
Much better than Flowey’s plan, that’s for sure, right Stanley?
Flowey: “Ughhhh. Fine…”
Pizza Steve: “So! Everyone give your vote, one at a time!”
Pizza Steve: “I myself go for Blocky’s Funny Doings or whatever their team is. They could’ve beaten us at the end, and their dudes are pretty powerful!”
Amelia: “...I agree.”
Flowey: “I think it’s obvious what MY vote is.”
Well, Stanley, since I can’t speak to the others, can you write mine down along with yours? You’re free to choose whatever you want, but personally I’d go against BFDI. That team is pretty strong, and I feel like choosing NNIT over them would be a death wish waiting to happen. Don’t let that influence your vote, though - okay maybe let it influence your vote a little bit. …Oh, same idea?
Wheatley: “I think we should go for King Julien’s Circle Thingamabob or whatever it was called! That donkey person kicked me far away, and I got so many scratches from it, which has me truly cheesed off!-”
Flowey: “You deserved it.”
Kris writes down ‘bfdi’
Pizza Steve: “Alright, it’s settled then! We bros are going to put Blocky’s team up for elimination.”
Koe suddenly appears next to them, frightening the team.
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “That’s your final pick? Got it! By the way, good job on winning, y’all!”
Koe disappears and reappears at BFDI’s area. Unlike CF, only Nikoly is spooked.
Nikoly: “AH-”
Woodie: “It’s just the host.”
Nikoly: “.”
Nikoly: “Oh.”
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “Yeah, hi Blocky’s Funny Doings International! I regret to inform you that you’re going up for elimination. Again.”
Squid: “Are you kidding me, two times in a row?”
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “I do not control who goes up for elimination, don’t get mad at me!”
Boss: “THAT’S ANOTHER TEAM ON OUR ‘DESTROY’ LIST.”
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “Okay, that’s done, vote link, down below, now!”
VOTING LINK: [ENDED]
Plasma Ball is seen in her room, about to go to sleep. As she turns the light off, a red glow emanates from the other side of the room, which immediately catches her attention.
Plasma Ball: “Who the hell is there?”
The source of the light chuckles.
Lamb: “I told you that you’d see the consequences of your actions, remember?”
Plasma Ball sighs in annoyance.
Plasma Ball: “Of course it’s you again. What do you want from me now?”
Lamb: “Well, I’m only here to fulfill my promise.”
Plasma Ball: “What are you going to do? Kill me? I’ll just get revived, idiot. Death isn’t even remotely a punishment in this place.”
Lamb: “You think I’m an idiot? Of course I’m not using such a worthless tactic. What will happen to you is far, far worse…”
Plasma Ball: “Sure, sure.”
Lamb uses fervour to generate some sort of aura around himself.
Lamb: “I warned you.”
Plasma Ball: “I bet whatever you’re doing isn’t going to do shit-”
And a blast of energy hits Plasma Ball, knocking her out…
Lamb: “Perfect.”
Chapter Text
The episode starts with Charlie taking a stroll in the endless plane of the dimension, passing by the giant arena from last episode.
Charlie the Unicorn: “Peace and quiet. What a commodity. First being constantly annoyed and dragged into things by those two, and then having to deal with the issues of being in some sort of dumb competition. I don’t even want to be here! The only thing making me want to possibly stay is the concept of being able to wish those two away from me so I can finally rest…”
As Charlie monologues to himself, he passes a corner to turn, and sees two familiar faces.
Charlie the Unicorn: “Oh no.”
Lolz: “Charlieeee!”
Roffle: “Charlieeeee!”
Charlie the Unicorn: “How did you two get here?!”
Lolz: “We had to fight the wuuduu!”
Roffle: “The wuuuuuduuuuu!”
Charlie the Unicorn: “That’s very nice, now please go back and leave me alone.”
Lolz: “But Charlieeeee! We need your help!”
Roffle: “We have to return a sacred artifact to His Grapeness!”
Lolz: “His Grapeeeeeenessssssss!”
Charlie the Unicorn: “I can’t, even if I wanted to. I’m busy.”
Charlie the Unicorn: “Who even is this ‘Grapeness’ guy?”
Lolz: “He’s the lord of the grapes!”
Roffle: “All grapes bow down to him!”
Charlie the Unicorn: “Oh great, another Banana King situation. How fun.”
Charlie the Unicorn: “Why would I go with you two anyways? You tried killing me and literally blew up the moon!”
Lolz: “But it’s important!”
Roffle: “If His Grapeness doesn’t get his artifact then bad things will happen!”
Charlie the Unicorn: “Lemme guess, some dark force is going to destroy the world? I have more important things to do here.”
Charlie starts walking back to the main area as Lolz and Roffle follow him.
Lolz: “Come on, Charlie! We need to go!”
Roffle: “We can’t keep him waiting!”
Charlie the Unicorn: “I already said no.”
As Charlie walks with the two unicorns flying around him and annoying him about returning the sacred artifact to ‘His Grapeness’, whoever that is, he bumps into two of his teammates. Literally, for one of them.
Test Tube: “Ack-”
Test Tube catches herself before she falls and shatters. Science Bear gets up from the invention the two were working on to turn to Charlie.
Science Bear: “Charlie, I advise you stay more aware of your surroundings-”
Science Bear notices Lolz and Roffle.
Science Bear: “...”
Charlie the Unicorn: “Look, I don’t have time for questions. If you can get rid of them please do.”
Lolz: “But Charlieeee! Why would you want to get rid of us?”
Roffle: “We need to go appease His Grapeness before bad things happen!”
Test Tube hears the two and whips around, being befuddled by their appearance.
Test Tube: “Holy geebweezer!”
Lolz: “Hi!”
Roffle: “Hi!”
Test Tube: “Who are these people, Charlie? And how did they even get here, I thought this dimension was remote!”
Charlie the Unicorn: “First question, the most annoying people to ever exist. I don’t even know their names. Second question, I wish I knew but at the same time I feel like it’s something I don’t want to know.”
Recovering from the shock, Science Bear speaks up.
Science Bear: “Perhaps if they’d be willing, we could run an experiment to see if they have innate teleportation abilities?-”
Roffle: “Experiment?!”
Lolz: “Oh no, science!”
Roffle: “Not science!”
Lolz and Roffle say ‘AHHHHHHHHHH’, not even fully screaming, while flying off to the building, probably to terrorize some unlucky people.
Test Tube: “We should… probably stop them.”
Charlie the Unicorn: “Yeah.”
…
Charlie the Unicorn: “Good luck trying, though.”
Next to the building, NNIT is having a ‘meeting’, which is mostly a bunch of arguing. A notable thing is that Plasma Ball isn’t present for some reason. Torch God is the only one at the ‘meeting’ not getting involved in the arguing, just trying to solve things… to no avail.
Plankton: “We should just barge in there, get rid of them all, and then boom! We did it! They’re gone!”
Artificer: “They’re just going to be revived, we’ve said this every time you’ve mentioned killing them.”
Bill Cipher: “Plus regular murdering is boring!”
Artificer: “Of course it is to you.”
As they continue arguing, with Torch God trying to stop them with no success, Plasma Ball exits from the building’s front entrance… but something is off about her. The only one who notices her arrival is the Knight, who tries calling attention, but Artificer, Bill, and Plankton are too busy arguing about stuff.
Artificer: “We can’t just turn them into stone! Even I wouldn’t stoop that low!”
Bill Cipher: “Come on, it’d be really funny!”
Plankton: “Why can’t we just fight them like normal people?!”
Artificer: “Because it wouldn’t do anything in the end???”
The Knight ends up poking Artificer to get her to look at Plasma Ball arriving.
Artificer: “What is it?-”
Artificer: “Oh, it’s Plasma Ball…?”
Plankton turns around also.
Plankton: “Is she ill? I don’t think her eyes should be that color of red.”
Indeed, Plasma Ball’s eyes are red. A certain kind of red attributed to a certain lamb.
Plasma Ball?: “Hello everyone! I’m completely fine, don’t worry.”
Artificer and Plankton stare in confusion as the rest of the team turns to see Plasma Ball, and they all seem to agree that something’s up.
Plankton: “...You don’t usually act like this.”
Plasma Ball?: “Lack of sleep, simple as that!”
Plankton rolls his eye, but decides to accept that answer.
Nacho: “...What’s up with your eyes?”
Plasma Ball simply shrugs.
Plasma Ball?: “I dunno, kinda just happened. I don’t think it’s anything too dangerous, though!”
The other members of NNIT, bar Bill, all look at each other with a sense of untrustworthiness in relation to Plasma Ball’s sudden changes, but there’s not enough evidence to prove anything else yet.
Artificer: “Well, if you find out anything about it or it causes irregular effects, let us know so we can help. We’ll try figuring things out as well.”
Plasma Ball?: “Got it!”
Plasma Ball gives a thumbs up before going back inside.
…Silence encapsulates NNIT for a few moments.
Eventually, Torch God breaks it in a technical manner by writing ‘THAT CANT BE NORMAL’.
Artificer: “Yeah, there’s something wrong with her.”
The Knight taps the ground with their nail to agree.
Nacho: “…Mmhmm…”
Plankton: “We need to figure out what’s up with that stuff.”
Bill Cipher: “Even I feel there is something off with that! And I’m Bill Cipher! That’s pretty concerning, y’know-”
Nacho: “We know.”
Bill Cipher stares at Nacho for a few seconds, before turning her into stone.
Artificer: “OH COME ON-”
Plankton: “NOT THE STONE AGAIN!”
Inside the building, Plasma Ball is walking through a hallway. Lamb is seen at the end of it.
Lamb: “Well, that raised some suspicion, but I’m sure that in due time the rest of that team will warm up to it. For now, though, it’s time for an introduction to the rest.”
Plasma Ball simply nods, and the two go to the cafeteria, where most of the members of RCoKJ are. Lamb keeps Plasma Ball just outside the entrance as he enters.
King Julien: “Welcome, Lamb! You’re a bit later than usual.”
Lamb: “I was busy doing things, nothing bad happened.”
King Julien: “Good to know!”
Glendale: “Now we only need Ploque and Rocket!”
Donkey: “Those two are always pretty late, I wonder why?”
Spider-Ham: “I’m not sure if they feel like they fit in much with the rest of us. I mean, they’re humans, we’re animals, I’d imagine it’s a bit odd for them!”
Carl: “I’ll get them.”
Carl leaves, and comes back soon after dragging Ploque and Rocket in.
Ploque: “Why can’t I just sleep in for once?”
Rocket: “Yeah, I don’t want to wake up this early for meetings!!”
King Julien: “I formally apologize, but we want to make sure everyone in the Royal Circle is here so we can properly have said meetings!”
King Julien: “Now, since everyone is here, first I’d like to discuss…”
The meeting goes on for a while before it comes time for Lamb to do his reveal.
King Julien: “Have you dealt with the naysayer yet, Lamb? I am pretty curious about what your plan of action is or was!”
Carl: “Did you take their hands?”
Lamb: “I did not take the hands of the perpetrator, but instead… Made them more agreeable .”
Donkey: “Made them more agreeable? Whatcha mean by that?”
Lamb: “Well, with a bit of magic, I made it so the enemy is no longer averse to our kingdom, and will happily join us. This has a bit of a side-effect with their eyes becoming red, though, but don’t mind that, it’s completely harmless!… With that said, though, here they are.”
Plasma Ball, who’s now revealed to be possessed , NOT ‘made more agreeable’, enters the room and sits down at the table silently.
King Julien: “Ah, Plasma Ball! A member of Not Naming It That. I do wonder though, will this aggravate her teammates at all?”
Lamb: “The only one who’d actually be a threat to us wouldn’t care at all about her joining, so I think we’ll be safe.”
Glendale: “How does the magic… work? It seems a little sketchy to me.”
Spider-Ham: “I gotta agree with Glendale here!”
Lamb: “It’s a certain type of ‘curse’ - not truly one, that is just the term used for it - that will slightly alter the mind. It is not harmful, though it is permanent unless I or someone stronger than me cancels the curse.”
Carl: “Sounds cool.”
Ploque: “Why is it that you always agree with the weird and dark stuff?”
Carl: “I am a sociopath who has committed countless crimes.”
Ploque: “...That explains a lot.”
Rocket: “I’m scared ):”
King Julien: “Well, I’m glad you’ve been able to bring her to join! The more members, the better. By the way, have you recruited anyone else yet?”
Lamb: “Unfortunately no, but I will see to it that I get someone within the next two days.”
King Julien: “Hey, take all the time you need! I’m not a rusher. …Most of the time!”
Cut to Lolz and Roffle exploring the building.
Lolz: “It’s so boring in here!”
Roffle: “Yeah! We haven’t found anyone yet!”
The two unicorns walk down a specific set of hallways and find themselves at BFDI’s living quarters, with the team searching around for Red.
Boss: “HE ISN’T IN HIS ROOM?”
Sundew: “Nope. I’ve checked every single spot in there.”
Blocky: “We already asked Koe to recover him and he said he’s not dead, where the hell is that guy?!”
Squid: “I don’t see why you all are so worried. He’s going to go to the elimination area eventually.”
Sundew: “It would be easier for us to find him now than be sitting ducks-”
Lolz and Roffle make their existence known to the team.
Lolz: “Hi!”
Roffle: “Hi!”
Blocky: “Who the block are you people?!”
Squid: “Those two look like that one unicorn on the team IDIOT.”
Lucy: “Maybe it was mitosis!”
Boss: “I DON’T THINK MITOSIS CAUSES THAT .”
Boss points to Lolz and Roffle spinning while floating above the ground.
Nikoly: “Tell us why you’re here!”
Roffle: “We need help to recover an artifact!”
Lolz: “For His Grapeness!”
Roffle: “His Grapeeeeenessssss!”
Blocky gets an evil grin on his face as he contemplates the idea of going, completely forgetting about the elimination.
Blocky: “If I come along do I get to prank people?”
Lolz: “Sure!”
Blocky: “Count me in, then!”
Lolz: “Yay!”
Roffle: “Let’s go!”
Lolz and Roffle fly out of the hallway and to who knows where, with Blocky following after the two unicorns.
Squid: “Well, that’s two gone now.”
Woodie: “What does that keener think he’s doing?”
Boss: “BEING AN IDIOT, THAT’S WHAT.”
Silence ensues for a moment.
Nikoly: “Is it just me or do those two give off a really odd vibe?”
Squid: “It’s just you.”
Sundew: “Yeah, those two just seem dumb to me.”
Nikoly: “Damn.”
Cut to within the mat room from Episode 2, where once again the team members of CF - not including Flowey, again - are performing yoga, though N is absent and Blue, Enderman, and Red have joined in - though they’re just finishing up.
And yes, Stanley and Wheatley are once again sitting down and watching.
Amelia: “Thank you all for coming… Hopefully we can all come back here tomorrow.”
Red: “Thanks for having us! Really helped a lot!”
Red skips out of the room, as Blue waves goodbye and grabs Enderman’s arm to bring them both to IDIOT’s living area.
Wheatley: “Hey, why didn’t N come along? He seems like the type to not miss planned events ever!”
Pizza Steve: “He didn’t come out of his room when I tried to get him, so I dunno, dude.”
Kris writes on a piece of paper ‘probably still tired, it looked like he was using a lot of energy’.
Pizza Steve: “I guess that makes sense, but dude’s still gotta come out of there at some point, y’know, for the challenge! I’m not sure the host man would be too happy about him staying behind.”
Amelia: “He could probably just… teleport N out…”
Pizza Steve: “Oh, yeah, true!”
Pizza Steve: “Though, I would prefer that not be needed…”
Pizza Steve: “I’m just worried about him. He’s been acting up since the last challenge, and I’m not fully convinced it’s just him being exhausted.”
Kris writes something down again - ‘if it’s any consolation, i had flowey try to get him to come out, he’s probably succeeded by now’.
Pizza Steve: “I guess that’s better than nothing!”
…Stanley, I have to agree with Pizza Steve here. There’s something off about N, I can tell- NO, I am not going insane. You have to trust me on this, come on-
Cut to outside N’s door. Flowey is trying to get through the mail compartment on the door.
Flowey: “Come on, you have to get out of there! Well, that’s what Kris says. I don’t give a flying fuck about it, but I’m being held at metaphorical swordpoint- which SUCKS, by the way, so PLEASE GET OUT.”
No response comes from inside.
Flowey: “Look, N, if you don’t get out now I can and will crawl through this mail thingamajig and I will most likely throw you through this door.”
Flowey manages to wriggle his way through the mail compartment, and sees that N’s room is… pretty trashed. The robot himself is laying down on the bed.
Flowey: “Oh fucking hell he’s just sleeping.”
Flowey grabs one of the objects scattered around on the floor and throws it at N, who jolts upwards… but instead of his eyes being on his screen, it’s an X, and from his hands come out claws.
Flowey: “...”
Flowey: “Got damn.”
Cut to outside the room, where Flowey is screaming bloody murder while Charles and Warrior stand in front of the door, intending to ask N a question.
Charles: “Uh…”
Warrior: “I think that we should probably come back later to ask him.”
Charles: “Yeah, I don’t want to deal with… whatever that is…”
Charles and Warrior slowly walk away from the door as the screams continue.
Cut to the waiting room for the elimination. Red casually walks in, and is then trampled by the rest of BFDI - excluding Blocky, who’s still gone.
Red: “Ow my bone…”
Boss: “YOU ARE SERIOUSLY A GIANT PUSHOVER. FIGURATIVELY AND LITERALLY.”
Squid: “Whatever, let’s just hope we’re not late-”
Koe opens the door on the other side of the room.
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “Great timing, Blocky’s Funny Doings International! …Besides Blocky himself, where is he?”
Squid: “Two unicorns came out of nowhere and they lulled Blocky away from the rest of us.”
Nikoly: “It was a sight to behold!”
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “...”
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “...I’ll bring him back after the challenge then…”
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “Let’s just go!”
Boss, Nikoly, Squid, Sundew, and Woodie walk into the elimination room, as Red crawls because his bone. Broken
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “Welcome, Blocky’s Funny Doings International, to your second elimination! In a row! Very unlucky!-”
Sundew: “We get it.”
Woodie: “Stop insulting us and get to counting the votes already, you hoser!”
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “Damn, okay then, sheesh.”
Koe snaps, generating his holographic bar graph.
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “Votes! We got twenty four of them! Pretty cool. Starting with spin votes, Boss and the duo of Woodie and Lucy came up with just one vote, and Squid only got two!”
Boss grumbles.
Woodie: “That’s pretty annoying!”
Lucy: “Come on! I want to spin that wheel! Maybe chop it too, it’s pretty tree-like!”
Squid: “I’m not surprised, I ranked low last time as well.”
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “For vote reasons, we’ll start with Boss’s ‘I vote u always bcz jsab is literally my childhood’.”
Boss: “ONE CONFIRMED VOTER FOR THE FORESEEABLE FUTURE ISN’T TOO BAD. I SUPPOSE.”
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “Next, for Woodie and Lucy’s singular vote reason, we have ‘Currently the only people I know of
Tiiiiiiiissssss I the lore guy I am here to give either lore or fun facts about some of you
So ummmm I guess Kris is kind of evil here just try to avoid him and N.’.”
Woodie: “What’s up with those two?”
Nikoly: “Oh, you know how Kris kept summoning N into their fights during the last challenge? It’s probably related to that!”
Woodie: “...I didn’t know about that, but I guess that explains it.”
Lucy: “Sounds creepy.”
Nikoly: “Yeah it’s weird.”
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “And for Squid, he also had only one vote reason, which was ‘1. He did awesome, really brutal tho, unsurprising because he has done worse *cough* First Wipe *cough*
- Barely anyone knows who he even is bruh’.”
Squid: “Yeah, that second point’s clear as day. Third place.”
Squid: “...Oh, I should reply to the first point too. Yes, my kills were quite brutal. It’s only fitting.”
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “Now, that leads us to Sundew, who ended up getting four votes! She ended up getting more than last time, but it still wasn’t enough.”
Sundew: “...That’s better than one, I guess.”
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “For her vote reasons, we start with ‘I don't recognize them but I like dragons. -Tayoga’.”
Sundew: “That’s a respectable opinion, I suppose.”
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “Next is ‘sundew hows bumblebee doing’.”
Sundew: “Anything particularly recent I wouldn’t know because…”
She motions to Koe, who slightly shows offense.
Sundew: “But, last time I saw her, she was doing well. Thankfully.”
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “Last one is funnily enough somewhat related to the previous one in a diluted kind of way - ‘snudoooooooooooooo’.”
Sundew raises her eyebrow in a 🤨 manner at the vote reason, but gives no comment.
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “Now, that brings us to the final three for spin votes - Blocky, Nikoly, and Red!”
Red looks ready, due to the results of last elimination, and Nikoly is twirling his scythe around absentmindedly while… Blocky still isn’t there.
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “Two of the three got five and the other got seven, so I’ll read up to the amount of votes the five-vote person had!”
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “…And, though Blocky may not be here, I’ll read his vote reasons out regardless. We’ll begin with ‘blocky is our god. but ive also realized that most of my vote reasons for the elimination....aren't really reasons. last season it was my love for profily (still love that goofy goober), and now its kinda just random stuff like my traumatic brain injury...also hi guys see im fine!!! - starry’.”
Woodie: “Last time I checked, traumatic brain injuries aren’t just ‘fine’.”
Squid: “Wait, Blocky as a god?”
Sundew: “Probably just exaggeration, ever heard of that?”
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “Next is ‘🤓um, actually ☝️ blocky has a gender,which means he does have a’- OH COME ON.”
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “Okay, not finishing that one, let’s just move to the next reason… ‘The team's named after him, and he's weirdly funny.’.”
Lucy: “Who’s idea was it to let him name the team in the first place? It sucks!”
Sundew points to Squid, who shoots a glare back.
Squid: “I didn’t expect him to be a narcissist about it.”
Boss: “WOW, YOU GUYS REALLY LIKE TALKING ABOUT HIM BEHIND HIS BACK, DON’T YOU.”
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “The next vote reason is ‘⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⣤⠶⠶⠊⠙⠛⠛⠛⠳⣦⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

Sundew: “What?”
Squid: “How did you even pronounce that.”
Boss: “WHO IS THAT.”
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “Rocky. Anyways, final reason, ‘hmmmmmmm i think it's cause he's the funny block man. and also my favorite color is red. (not the guy from among us though. you're still suspiscious to me.) -para’.”
Red looks a little angry about being called suspicious.
Red: “I’m not sus!”
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “Coincidentally, now is the time for Red’s vote reasons! First up is ‘Another same-vote. Mostly because Red's last prize wasn't that great.’.”
Red: “Yeah, it didn’t do anything in the end…”
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “That’s your problem, lol. Anyways next is ‘Not a fish.’.”
Nikoly: “What did fish do?!”
Red: “...Yeah, that’s a kinda weird requirement for voting.”
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “Sometimes it is best not to question voters. Next is ‘He deserves a better prize, that last one was so useless (also I wonder how red would react to other murderous parasitic Aliens)’.”
Red: “Same thing, didn’t do anythi- wait…”
Red: “ Other parasitic aliens???”
Squid: “Don’t go into a rant again, please, I don’t think any of us want to hear that, even despite my personal monologuing.”
Boss: “YEAH WHAT HE SAID. IT’S ANNOYING.”
Red: “...I wasn’t planning on it but okay…”
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “Lastly for Red, we have ‘I like you and Sundews character, but I swear I heard Koe saw that there could be bad things on the wheel, so I'm chucking you in as a sacrifice.’.”
Red: “That’s just mean!”
Boss: “HA HA.”
Red pouts.
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “Now onto Nikoly! We start with ‘Fish, so nice smile so cute. I love fish :D - Kairos ps. Please don’t cook them ;-;’.”
Smile two :)
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “Next up is ‘glub glub :D’.”
Glub glub :D
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “And finally, the third one is… long. ‘This episode has made Nikoly one of my favorite characters in this show. Not only is he a fish - which is immediate bonus points - but he completely wiped the floor with his competitors in this challenge, only being beaten by Kris and N's Snowgrave arc. Plus, his personality developed, going from a bland character always on the sidelines to a force to be reckoned with making quips left and right and having snippets of knowledge of the outside, not being a burden to his character like Hyehehe or Bill while still giving him some fun moments. The Observed Nikoly part was the cherry on top, as it gave him an alter ego that makes things more interesting with fast-paced combat and the strength to defeat Lamb, who definitely would have wiped out everyone in his way had Nikoly not taken him out, and especially how Observed Nikoly turned the tides of the fight when Nikoly would have died if not for the twist. Good job, Nikoly. (Blocky and Red still have my support, though. Nikoly is just a higher priority after the events of this episode.)’.”
Nikoly: “Woohoo! I did it!”
Sundew: “Not yet. You could have the least votes.”
Nikoly: “:(“
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “Now, who will be able to spin the Incredible Wheel of Luck? It’s…”
Drumroll…
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “Blocky, with seven votes!... even though he’s not even here…”
Nikoly: “Nooooo! This is so sad!”
Red: “I thought I had a chance because of last time, aw…”
Squid: “Fate will not always be in your favor.”
Nikoly: “That would go hard on a t-shirt.”
Squid: “...What”
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “Let’s continue with Blocky’s final two vote reasons, beginning with ‘YUEUHRJEAJREUKJHFA OBJECT SHOW
HI BLOCkY
goes feral /j
- Ember Nyxtical (EmberTheAlphaWolf)’.”
Woodie: “Blocky sure does seem to have quite a lot of fans.”
Nikoly: “That’s why he has his own prank show!”
Sundew: “And how do you even know that?”
Nikoly: “I do not know.”
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “Finally, for spin vote reasons, we have ‘blocky can you swear for the viewers we need entertainment -the goober’.”
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “...”
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “I’m sure he would swear if he was here. Maybe next time, sorry.”
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “Anyways, with that done, time for him to spin the wheel… well, he WOULD, if he wasn’t in an alternate dimension or whatever. So instead I guess I’ll have to spin it for him!”
Koe spawns in a plush version of Blocky, and makes it spin the wheel. It lands on…
‘Spin again, but second place spins as well’
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “Well, look at that, it seems like we’ll be having a double spin! Good job, Red!”
Red: “Oh, cool!”
Nikoly: “huh”
Lucy: “Lucky!”
Boss: “SERIOUSLY???”
Woodie: “Are you kidding us right now?”
Squid: “What?!”
Sundew: “That can happen?”
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “Yeah, that can happen.”
Koe spins the wheel for Blocky once again and lands on…
‘A book that gives all the information you want, but only you can read it’
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “Well, I’ll give that to him once I bring him back, but that ain’t a bad prize at all! Now it’s Red’s turn!”
Koe stretches his arms to pull Red over, who spins the wheel lightly, landing on…
‘Immunity from this elimination, but it becomes a double elimination’
This immediately makes everyone, even Red, enter a cacophonous outrage because WHAT???
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “Ohhhhhhhh shit. I am TERRIBLY sorry but that was meant to be removed-”
Squid: “Then make him spin it again!”
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “Okay, the issue is, unless you have enough votes you physically can’t spin it, and you can only spin it once before it doesn’t let you anymore. It’s enchanted to do that. I can’t do anything about it. We have to do what it says now.”
Lucy: “Come on! That’s not fair!”
Boss: “THIS SUCKS.”
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “Okay, to make it up to you guys, I’ll bring in someone new to replace whoever else is eliminated this time! Deal?”
Silence. Then Nikoly gives a thumbs up.
Sundew: “What?”
Nikoly: “Hey, maybe they’ll be super strong and powerful! Who knows?”
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “That’s the spirit! I’ll bring the new dude to you guys by tomorrow at the latest.”
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “Though, with that over, it’s time to actually get to the main event… The elimination. We’ll be doing a final three instead of a final two like I would have originally done to accommodate for the… incident .”
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “Starting off, once again, everyone got at least one vote! Twice in a row! Crazy. Though, a lucky two ended up getting just one vote, those two being Nikoly and Sundew!”
Koe throws assorted hats at Nikoly and Sundew. Nikoly puts on the baseball cap that was thrown at him, while Sundew avoids whatever hat was flung at her.
Nikoly: “Let’s goooooo! No final three this time!”
Sundew: “Nice. I guess.”
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “For vote reasons, Nikoly’s sole reason was ‘Fish.’.”
Nikoly: “:(“
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “And Sundew’s reason was ‘starry here n im fine!! see i didnt need the ergzsig,dgdaudguxgWHAT HAPPENED. uh I'm their gf...yes, they can pull. but why did xe START COUGHING BLOOD. also why am I writing here? ohh its like a voting thing I get it like those competition fanfics or whatever...but moving on, xe started coughing blood..... maybe I should read the fanfic first hold on BACK. so I found out xe signs xyr lil vote reasons so I will do that....also xyr white bedsheets are ruined :( maybe I should take them to the hospital.....yeah probably that, xe hasn't been paying attention to xyr physical and mental health right now soooo and maybe I could switch xyr votes??? starry uses any pronouns do not be alarmed!!! prefers they/them/their or xe/xem/xyr though - starry...well shes passed out, so.... moony? yeah, that.’. …Ok that can’t be good.”
Squid: “Did someone straight up just die while writing the vote reason?”
Boss is about to make a remark when Sundew slaps him.
Boss: “OW, FUCK.”
Sundew: “On a serious note that isn’t these buffoons saying inconsiderate crap, hopefully they end up healed.”
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “Yeah, same.”
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “...Let’s get to the next one safe, which is Blocky!”
Koe places a funny little top hat on the Blocky plush he’s holding.
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “For his first vote reason we have ‘I don’t want anyone to be eliminated so I chose the one that I thought would have the least impact if eliminated’.”
Boss: “THERE ARE BETTER PEOPLE TO VOTE FOR THAT REASON THAN HIM.”
Boss motions to Red, who doesn’t realize it.
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “Then, his second and final vote reason is ‘hnfaoifhnusaf’. Very informative.”
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “Next safe is Red, due to the prize from the IWoL!”
Koe tosses a cowboy hat to Red, who puts it on and thinks he looks really stylish with it.
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “Originally, he had five votes, which would’ve put him in second place!”
Red: “That’s scary to think about…”
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “For his vote reasons, we start with ‘I SAW RED VENT. RED IS THE IMPOSTOR. BLUE SAW THEM VENT TOO!’.”
Red: “I DIDN’T VENT!!!!!!!”
Blue, who is building a tower of dirt right outside, somehow senses he was mentioned and stares into the room with confusion. Koe opens the window to talk to him quickly.
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “Don’t worry, you’re fine, I don’t know what that voter’s talking about! Also stop building right in front of the elimination room.”
Blue gives a thumbs up before starting to destroy his tower, as Koe closes the window and returns back to his spot next to the holographic bar graph.
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “Next reason is ‘STOP POSTING ABOUT AMONG US I AM TIRED OF SEEING IT. MY FRIENDS KEEP SENDING ME MEMES ABOUT IT, I AM TIRED OF THIS BEAN WITH A BONE INSIDE IT APPEARING ON MY “FOR YOU PAGE” MAKE IT STOP. Ahem I needed to get that out. - Sincerely Kairos.’.”
Squid: “Oh dear lord there’s memes about this guy???”
Woodie: “What’s a meme?”
Squid: “Be glad you don’t know what one is.”
Nikoly: “What did they do???”
Squid: “Horrors.”
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “Red’s next reason is ‘i still think red is kinda sus. like in among us. also im just gonna vote for anyone that isnt blocky. bfdi (blockys funny doings international) is the only show ever! -para’.”
Nikoly: “Hah! See? I knew that Blocky had his own show!”
Boss: “WOW, THAT’S THE GRANDEST ACCOMPLISHMENT EVER. SO COOL.”
Nikoly: “I can tell you’re being sarcastic.”
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “Up next is ‘No more among us references
Tiiiiiiiissssss I the lore guy heres today's fun fact
Fun fact: did you know that King Dedede was the antagonist of Kirby, but most of the time it's just because he gets mind controlled. That's all for today goodbye.’.”
Red: “Getting mind controlled must suck!”
Nikoly and Sundew both give looks to Red.
Red: “...What?”
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “The last vote reason Red received is ‘*insert the entire "stop posting about among us" speech here*’.”
Sundew: “The what?”
Nikoly begins reciting it, but is quickly shut up by Squid slamming blocks into his face.
Nikoly: “Ow.”
Squid: “Deserved.”
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “Now, we get to the final three… Boss, Squid, and Woodie and Lucy!”
Spotlights shine on the three. Boss is once again disinterested, Squid gives a disappointed expression, and Woodie is clutching onto Lucy as if his life depended on doing so.
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “Now, one of you three - well, four - actually only received two votes, but due to how we’re doing this said person has been brought to the final three! The eliminated two ended up getting nine votes and five votes, respectively.”
Squid: “I sure wonder who got that nine votes.”
Squid looks at Boss, who tries punching in retaliation.
Boss: “WHAT DID I DO TO YOU???”
Squid: “Nothing, but you were in the final three last time. It’s painfully obvious.”
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “Eh, you never know!”
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “Now, since the person with two votes ended up receiving no reasons, we’ll just get straight into the reveal!”
Once again a drumroll begins, and…
Boss has the nine votes.
Woodie and Lucy have the five votes.
And Squid received the two.
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “Oooh, tough luck, y’all!”
Koe throws a hat at Squid, who avoids it.
Boss: “SERIOUSLY?!”
Lucy: “I call foul play!”
Woodie: “I don’t think we’re gonna get out of this one, Lucy.”
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “Yep, there’s not much you can really do about it. Sorry, I’m not a fan of it either, but blame the wheel, not me.”
Squid: “Even when you were the one who forgot to remove the double elimination option?”
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “...”
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “sh”
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “Anyways, vote reason time! Starting with Woodie and Lucy, the duo’s first vote reason is ‘they can go die’. Ooh, harsh.”
Lucy: “What did we ever do?!”
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “I dunno, must’ve been bad though. Next reason is ‘i dont know very much of them or anyone in this team overall to be honest since this was such a tough decision to make, but i have an urge to vote woodie and lucy, so vote i must
-zapper (:3)’.”
Woodie: “What kind of urge does that?”
Lucy: “Rude ones. >(“
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “Then, we have ‘Crazy?
I was crazy Crazy?
I was crazy once. They locked me in a room, a rubber room, a rubber room filled with rats. Rats make me crazy.
Crazy?’. And then that’s repeated, like, a billion times.”
Woodie: “What?”
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “I do not know.”
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “Anyways, the final reason for Woodie and Lucy is ‘Most of my submissions have been ranting, so I'll keep this one quick: They're 2 people in one slot, it's not fair. -Tayoga’.”
Woodie: “It’s a package deal. We’re not going anywhere without the other.”
Lucy: “Try to separate us and I’ll separate your arms from your body like tree branches!”
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “Now onto Boss, starting us off is ‘Admittedly, I probably should have voted Boss last time. He's more of a background character than the trio I mentioned last elimination, and both Nikoly and Woodie & Lucy have had some development this time around. Meanwhile, Boss remains with a stagnant personality who went out on his first battle in an embarrassing way. My formal apologies to King Dedede for picking him over Boss.’.”
Boss: “HARD DISAGREE.”
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “Then we have ‘Kinda annoying.’.”
Boss: “ANNOYING? I’LL SHOW YOU ANNOYING-”
Sundew: “You can’t punch someone you can’t even interact with besides talking to a piece of paper.”
Boss: “SHUT YOUR TRAP.”
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “Reason three is ‘he gives me vibes. no specific vibes but its negative vibes so ohand also because i dont wanna vote for anybody else so :tada: -the goober’.”
Boss: “PROCESS OF ELIMINATION. THE CRUELEST OF TACTICS.”
Nikoly: “Ha. Process of elimination -”
Boss: “STOP YOUR TOMFOOLERY RIGHT NOW OR YOU’LL BE SO BROKE INHERITING ALL OF A BILLIONAIRE’S MONEY WOULD STILL KEEP YOU IN DEBT.”
Nikoly: “D:”
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “Boss’s next vote reason is ‘idk i randomly chose out of the ones i dont know well sorry
ALSO I ACCIDENTALLY MISSED THE LAST FEW VOTES SORRY
- Ember Nyxtical (EmberTheAlphaWolf)’. Hey, no worries!”
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “Next to last is ‘it's bover...
(bover deez nuts lmao)’.”
Boss: “YOU SINS WILL BRING YOU TO YOUR DEMISE AND THOSE ABOVE WILL NOT BE MERCIFUL TO YOU.”
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “Wow, you’re more pissed off than normal today-”
Boss: “I WONDER WHY, IT COULDN’T BE THAT I GOT CLOSE TO HALF THE FUCKING VOTES! ”
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “jesus christ”
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “Okay, last reason, ‘Same vote as last time. Everyone else really showed off their strengths this time around (especially Nikoly), while Boss still remains the least interesting of the bunch.’.”
Nikoly: “Wow, people really grew on me this time around!”
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “Indeed they did, however not everyone is lucky! And as such, it’s time for these two to go into the THoE!”
Koe pulls out the THoE, and points it at Boss before activating its beam, causing him to vanish into it.
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “One out of… three, technically.”
Koe then turns to face Woodie and Lucy.
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “Any last words, you two?”
Lucy: “Whoever replaces us better be a certified tree chopper or I will be mad!”
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “Okay, cool, now bye bye!”
The THoE fires a laser at Woodie and Lucy, sucking in both.
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “Welp, that’s over now. See you all outside for the challenge!”
Koe walks out of the room.
Squid: “This keeps getting worse and worse.”
Sundew: “If only Blocky was actually here we wouldn’t be in this spot. That stupid idiot…”
Nikoly: “I mean, hey, it could be worse! We coulda gotten a triple elimination!”
Sundew: “Don’t jinx it.”
The four leave the room, with Red bringing the Blocky plush to act as a temporary replacement for the currently-gone contestant.
Cut to outside, where Koe is reviving Flowey and Nacho.
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “Alright, there we go, dead people back! Now we can start.”
The two contestants head to the group of contestants lounging in front of the building as Koe prepares to explain the contest.
Pizza Steve: “How’d you even die?”
Flowey: “All I’ll say is it was graphic as shit.”
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “Alrighty, everyone, your contest this time around will be a game of murder mystery! Each team will be teleported into a building where they’ll be able to have a bit of time to plan before the lights go off and one person will kill another. Then your team will have to figure out who the murderer is in three guesses. If you don’t get the murderer in your limited amount of picks, or every other team figures it out before you, then your team is up for elimination! Along with that, any murderer left undiscovered by the time the challenge ends will receive an advantage next episode, so try your best to keep things under wraps! With that said, let’s begin!”
Koe snaps, and each team is teleported into a decently sized room with some furniture. Cut to BFDI’s room, where the four present members, plus the Blocky plush, all sit around.
Squid: “The tactic is really just to wait around and do nothing?”
Sundew: “What else are we supposed to do? Got anything better?”
Squid: “...”
Squid: “I admit you’re right on that front, but there must be an alternative solution.”
Red: “I’m pretty well-versed in this type of thing! I do it all the time!”
Nikoly: “Give us your wisdom, bean man, and tell us what to do!”
Red: “Well-”
The lights shut off right at that time, leaving everyone in the dark.
Red: “-Hey, come on, who turned off the lights?- AGH-”
The Among Us kill sound effect plays. The lights come on a few seconds later, showing Red’s dead body on the floor, once again with a singular bone.
Nikoly: “Noooooo! Now we’ll never know what to do here!”
Sundew: “Well, clearly the murderer didn’t want us knowing. I’m going to check to see what killed him.”
Squid: “Literally anything hard enough could kill him.”
Sundew: “There may be additional holes in his body, don’t go around making quick assumptions.”
Sundew walks up to the body and inspects it, as Nikoly decides to do a little trolling.
Nikoly: “I believe I know who the murderer is!...”
Nikoly points to the Blocky plush, as dramatic music plays.
Nikoly: “Him!”
Squid and Sundew both look at Nikoly with unamused expressions.
Sundew: “Please tell me you’re not being serious.”
Nikoly: “I’m not a complete idiot, I’m just joking around! …Or am I?”
Dramatic music plays again.
Nikoly: “Okay, but yeah seriously, obviously messing around. Dark humor!”
Squid: “Really? Right now, of all times?”
Nikoly: “Hey, it loosens tensions!”
Sundew finishes inspecting Red’s body, where a circular hole is seen in his torso.
Sundew: “Some sort of circular object must have pierced through him. Clearly, it’s one of you two, because I don’t have any weapons on me.”
Squid: “Of course you’d be saying that you’re safe.”
Nikoly: “Hey, I’d trust her here!”
Squid: “And of course you would.”
Cut to IDIOT’s room.
Warrior: “What if we all stick together so nobody can die?”
Science Bear: “I regret to inform you that I doubt that will be effective, as the lights will be off, allowing the murderer to kill regardless of the distance between us all.”
Warrior: “Oh, phooey!”
Charlie the Unicorn: “What do you suggest we do then, if you’re so smart?”
Science Bear: “Well, I think-”
The lights go off exactly at that moment.
Science Bear: “...nevermind then.”
The sound of stabbing can be heard for a quick second, before the lights turn back on, with Warrior impaled by his own sword.
Science Bear: “That is quite the grisly sight.”
Charles: “Noooo!”
Charlie the Unicorn: “Jesus fucking christ that’s brutal. Stabbed by his very own weapon. ”
Science Bear: “Well, it’s crucial we begin figuring out who the murderer may be as soon as possible. Does anyone have any leads before I start investigating?”
Silence ensues for a moment, before Hyehehe tries saying something, being quickly shushed by a few members.
Science Bear: “Alright, with that in mind, I’ll go out on a limb and state my first suspicion…”
Science Bear points to Enderman.
Science Bear: “Enderman. We already know how aggressive they can get when angered, accidentally or intentionally, so it would not be too far of a stretch that they could have committed the crime.”
Enderman, who is facing upwards so as to not accidentally kill anyone, makes an outraged sound - not the murderous intent type, but the annoyed-at-being-accused type.
Test Tube: “He’s got a point! I don’t mean to appropriate behavior, but it’s possible it was done by accident! No judgment on that front, by the way, I wouldn’t blame you.”
Blue tries to advocate for Enderman’s innocence, but it is to no avail, as the other team members - minus Hyehehe, who for some ungodly reason decided to vote Warrior instead - decide to vote out Enderman. A mechanical hand promptly grabs the lanky contestant and drags them off to who knows where.
Science Bear: “Now, to see if the hypothesis is correct…”
A paper falls to the floor, reading ‘Enderman was not the murderer. Two votes remain.’
Science Bear: “Oh dear, it appears my calculations did not come to fruition correctly.”
Charles: “Well, we still have two more chances!”
Blue takes the time to explain that Enderman always makes a screeching sound when angered, so it couldn’t have been them.
Science Bear: “Ah, that makes sense! Would have been useful to know that beforehand, but we can’t do much about that now.”
Cut to RCoKJ’s room, where the entire team is lounging about.
King Julien: “Doesn’t seem we’ve got any murderers to watch out for yet! Good job, guys!”
Glendale: “I dunno, though, it could happen at any moment…”
Spider-Ham: “Why don’t we try stopping anyone that could kill before they can?”
Rocket: “Are you sure that’ll work?”
Spider-Ham: “If we try hard enough it can!-”
The lights shut off right as Spider-Ham says that.
Spider-Ham: “Oh, curses!”
Donkey: “Hey, that was some ironic timin- JASKFAKSFLAFEMDWER-”
The lights turn on, and Donkey is lying on the floor dead. …And his front legs are gone. What.
Spider-Ham: “Not Donkey!”
King Julien: “Oh dear, it seems we’ve now got a murderer on our hands! But first, before we search for the perpetrator, we must hold a funeral.”
For a few seconds Donkey is buried in a grave while the rest of the team is suddenly in funeral attire, being silent.
Ploque: “...”
Ploque: “How did we even get here?”
It then cuts back to the previous scene.
Lamb: “If anyone here is good at forensics, we can check what Donkey’s cause of death is and try to pick out potential killers.”
Ploque: “I guess I’ll try! I can’t guarantee I’ll do the best, though.”
Lamb: “The stage is yours, then.”
Ploque walks over to Donkey’s dead, front-leg-less body and begins inspecting it while Spider-Ham silently weeps in the background.
Ploque: “Well, it seems he died by being choked with a super strong grip… which I can at the least say clears Rocket completely.”
Rocket: “Woooo! Let’s go!”
Ploque: “Now who else can we cross off the list of potential killers?”
Glendale: “Well, I don’t believe King Julien would kill his own subjects, and Spider-Ham’s currently grieving hard…”
Spider-Ham: “Too soon, my friend, too soon…”
Glendale: “Plus, I really don’t like even the thought of killing people. That’d clear all three of us!”
Ploque: “Well, then that just leaves Carl, Lamb… and me.”
Rocket: “Ooh! Idea! We just vote all you three out so that we’re right no matter what!”
Lamb: “Are you kidding me, that’s a HORRIBLE idea!”
Ploque: “...Says one of the suspects.”
Lamb: “As if you’re not one too.”
King Julien: “Alright, you two, settle down!”
Lamb grumbles as Ploque immediately quiets down.
King Julien: “Rocket’s idea does hold some merit, so I think going ahead with it should be our plan of action!”
Rocket: “Yay!”
King Julien: “However, first we need to decide an order of elimination so that it takes less time to get the murderer out.”
Lamb: “...”
Lamb: “Fine.”
King Julien: “Splendid! Now, time to figure out who…”
Cut to CF’s room. There’s an uncomfortable silence lingering through the air.
Wheatley: “...Anybody wanna play poker?”
Flowey: “Who the hell plays poker?”
Wheatley: “I do!”
Flowey: “You’re boring then!”
Wheatley: “Shush your yap, you bloody bastard!”
Flowey mockingly gasps.
Flowey: “Wow. I am. So hurt. Definitely crying inside right now. Yep.”
The awkward silence returns, and stays for a while until the lights turn off.
Amazing, you didn’t have it happen right when someone’s finishing a sentence for once.
Shut up
Hey, I should have the right to make fun of you since we’re here because of you- Stanley. Stanley no.
Anyways, while the lights are off, a loud shattering sound happens, making Wheatley yelp in surprise. Flowey bursts out laughing before the light turns on, where he then makes a neutral face upon seeing that the shattering sound was from Amelia dying.
Flowey: “Oh. Dang.”
Pizza Steve: “Ugh, let’s just get this over with fast, alright, bros?”
Flowey: “Eh, sure, whatever, this place sucks anyways!”
Wheatley: “I, for one, think it was Flowey who committed the crime!”
Flowey: “Seriously?!”
Kris writes on a piece of paper ‘you did laugh at wheatley being frightened by amelia’s shattering’.
Pizza Steve: “I’ve gotta agree with the other two here.”
I can’t help but feel we’re making the wrong decision here. You get me, Stanley? …no? Well then, I guess it’s just a personal hunch.
And meanwhile, N stares creepily at Flowey. …Weird.
Flowey: “What about N? It’s probably him!”
Wheatley: “There is no way it’d be him, he doesn’t kill people randomly, like you do, Mr. ‘Kill or be Killed’.”
Flowey: “How do you even know that phrase?!”
A mechanical hand from the ceiling plucks Flowey from the ground.
Flowey: “UNHAND ME!”
Pizza Steve: “Ow, headache.”
Flowey is taken away, and a while later, a paper falls to the floor.
Pizza Steve: “...Flowey wasn’t the killer. Back to square one.”
Wheatley: “Come on! He was being super suspicious! Darn you, cruel world!”
Maybe Flowey was telling the truth about it being N?
…yeah, you’re right, that’s stupid.
Cut to NNIT’s room. The lights are already off, though Torch God is naturally lighting up everything around them. Though everyone else is in the complete dark.
Artificer: “I thought we were supposed to have time before this happens.”
Nacho: “It makes things faster. I’m not complaining.”
Plasma Ball?: “Me neither, I quite like the darkness!”
The lights turn on to reveal Plankton has been smashed to bits.
Artificer: “I feel like we all know who it is, right?”
Torch God writes ‘YES’, as the other members of NNIT agree… besides Bill.
Bill Cipher: “Now what are you getting at?”
The Knight points their nail at Bill, as Artificer answers.
Artificer: “You killed him.”
Bill Cipher: “Oh, come on! Seriously?! We just started and you’re already accusing? Shame on you all! Shame!”
Artificer: “Stop the acting, it’s as clear as day.”
Bill sighs, accepting he’s been caught.
Bill Cipher: “I take opportunities when they come, can you blame me?”
Torch God writes ‘ACTUALLY WE CAN’.
Bill Cipher: “It was a rhetorical, asshole.”
A mechanical hand snatches Bill and takes him away. NNIT is then teleported out of the room, with Plankton also being revived.
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “Congrats for being the first team safe, Not Naming It That!”
Torch God writes ‘WOOHOO’.
Bill Cipher: “I’m still pissed about not being able to get away from it! Thanks a lot, you jerks.”
Plankton: “You deserve it for killing me, you punk!-”
Bill turns Plankton to stone.
Bill Cipher: “Nah.”
Artificer: “...Of course.”
Cut back to BFDI, where Sundew is staring monotonously at Nikoly and Squid.
Sundew: “Well, one of you has to tell the truth now, or we’re going to lose another member, and we’re already low as is. Even if the prospect of an advantage is enticing, it doesn’t have any merit when we’ll also lose a member in return.”
Squid: “Do you really expect that to work? Scare tactics aren’t the most effective.”
Nikoly: “You’re only saying that because you’re the murderer!”
Squid: “Oh really? Prove it then. You can’t-”
Nikoly pulls out a scythe, having it spin in the air, then puts the blade in the hole in Red’s body… it’s smaller.
Nikoly: “See, if it was truly me who did it, then there wouldn’t have been as large a hole!”
Squid looks stunned for a moment, before reverting to his normal persona.
Squid: “What about your coins?”
Nikoly pulls out a large Espacoin and drops it on the hole, showing that it’s actually bigger.
Nikoly: “I don’t have any more weapons in my arsenal, so clearly, you must have used a spike to impale Red in the dark!”
Squid: “...”
Sundew: “Yeah, the evidence does seem pretty stacked up against you, Squid.”
Squid inhales.
Squid: “Yes, I conducted the murder of Red. Can you blame me, though? That pest is constantly annoying and against our plans, despite us being on the same team! Plus, you heard him, he has tactics for this kind of event. It would be easier for the culprit to be discovered if he was left to live.”
Nikoly: “I dunno, man, he just seems like a chill dude.”
Sundew: “Regardless of your opinions on Red, you’re done for.”
Nikoly: “Well, not technically, because this is actually a good thing, but yeah you’re gone now! Bye!”
A mechanical hand grabs Squid and takes him away. Seconds later, the three BFDI members, along with a newly revived Red, appear outside the room.
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “Despite your meager numbers, you guys managed to grab second place! Good job, Blocky’s Funny Doings International!”
Red: “My death wasn’t in vain, woo!”
Squid: “I’m still annoyed about not getting that advantage.”
Nikoly: “It’s for the greater good.”
Squid: “Well, fuck the greater good, then.”
Nikoly: “Aw :(“
Cut to IDIOT, where Science Bear is writing notes down on everyone remaining in the room, as the other team members sit around. Eventually, he comes to a conclusion, and stands up.
Science Bear: “I have created a new hypothesis as to who the murderer may be, my fellow team members.”
The other members of IDIOT arise in interest.
Charlie the Unicorn: “Don’t screw things up again.”
Science Bear: “I’m 99.9% certain that things will go fine this time around!”
Science Bear: “Now, after evaluating all the information I have so far on all of us here, I’ve gone through a process of elimination to get to two suspects. First off, Charles is clearly not the murderer, as Warrior is his friend and he doesn’t strike me as a backstabber. Secondly, I plan on not incriminating myself falsely, so I’ve eliminated myself from the running as well. Charlie has publicly stated his distaste for violence, and Test Tube does not seem like a dangerous person to me, so that only leaves Blue and Hyehehe.”
The end of Science Bear’s speech leaves Blue defending himself, while Hyehehe laughs maniacally.
Hyehehe: “Oh, hyehehehehehe, a suspect? Preposterous!”
Science Bear: “Now, of course, these picks are not uneducated - for Hyehehe, we’ve already established that they’re… chaotic. It would not be out of the question for it to be the murderer. On the other hand, Blue’s fighting skills are immaculate and his silence would keep any murder under wraps, so he could have easily committed the crime. Out of these two, though, I have to say…”
Science Bear takes a breath.
Science Bear: “Blue is the most likely suspect in my eyes.”
Blue enters a silent outrage at this, while Test Tube seems hesitant on the idea.
Test Tube: “Are you really sure about this, Science Bear? I don’t think Blue would just haphazardly kill one of our team members!”
Science Bear: “Hyehehe may appear clinically insane-”
Hyehehe: “That I am, hyehehehehehe! Or am I? You will never know!”
Science Bear: “...but we’ve all seen Blue’s insane fighting abilities. It is a 90% possibility that Blue killed Warrior in order to claim the advantage for the next challenge, plus, we can’t truly be sure of his intentions. All we’ve seen of his personality is bits and pieces shown purely by actions.”
Charles: “I dunno, but… I guess I’ll go with Blue!”
Charlie the Unicorn: “Yeah, no, it’s gotta be Hyehehe, seriously man?”
Hyehehe: “I vote for Warrior! Again! Hyehehehe!”
Science Bear: “As my vote is already clear, I will refrain from restating it.”
Blue turns to Test Tube, trying to feign innocence, while pointing to Hyehehe in a manner that says that his vote is against the weird hyena man. Test Tube considers her options for a moment, before coming to a decision.
Test Tube: “...I’m sorry, Blue, but Science Bear’s evidence is too much to vote for Hyehehe instead…”
Test Tube: Please don’t take it personally, though.”
Blue looks hurt by the choice, before being snatched by a claw and taken away, which Blue protests silently. A paper falls to the ground soon after, which Charlie reads out.
Charlie the Unicorn: “Blue was not the murderer… oh, come on, seriously?”
Hyehehe: “The innocent drop like flies! The murderer remains in secret! Who will truly come out on top?”
Hyehehe laughs again, causing an unamused look from Charlie.
Cut to RCoKJ, where about half the team is having a discussion about who should go first.
Glendale: “Well, Lamb kinda gives me bad vibes, so I wanna say him, but Carl… he’s also kinda scary!”
Spider-Ham: “I gotta agree with you on the front of Lamb, but I could see it being Ploque! She could’ve snapped from feeling like an outcast…”
Rocket: “It’s gotta be Carl! Trust me, he’s a really creepy person, eugh…”
King Julien: “Hm…”
King Julien: “Well, if we can’t get to a decision, we should let the three suspects figure things out!”
Rocket: “That works!”
Spider-Ham: “Sounds good to me.”
Glendale: “Better than this, I suppose!”
King Julien struts over to Carl, Lamb, and Ploque.
King Julien: “Alright, you three, we’ve come to a decision!...”
Lamb: “Which is?”
King Julien: “You guys are picking who’ll go first!”
King Julien: “We, uh, couldn’t figure anything out ourselves.”
Ploque sighs in disappointment.
Ploque: “Well, let’s get this over with!”
Ploque pulls out some saws.
Ploque: “See these? These are the only things I’ve ever used to attack someone, here or back home, and even then I’ve only actually used them with the intent to harm twice! So, clearly, I couldn’t have choked Donkey to death. Plus, he lost his front legs! Why would I do that?”
Lamb: “Well, whenever I must bring something to their demise, I may have some odd ways of killing from an outsider’s perspective, but I haven’t choked anyone to death. I have nothing against Donkey, anyways, I see him as an ally and not a threat.”
Lastly, Carl remains silent for a few seconds, before speaking up…
Carl: “I do not kill people. It is my least favorite thing to do.”
Ploque raises a metaphorical eyebrow at this.
Ploque: “Carl, are you sure about that?”
Carl: “Indeed I am, I do not stab people! Or choke them.”
Ploque stares at Carl menacingly for a moment.
Carl: “Okay, maybe I grabbed his throat for a bit. It was a coping mechanism, I’m scared of the dark.”
Ploque: “...Carl.”
Carl: “Alright, fine, I choked him to death, the possibility of getting an advantage is very enticing!”
Carl: “...And I needed meat.”
Rocket: “...Why’d you need meat?”
Carl: “For my meat dragon.”
Rocket stares at Carl dumbfounded for a moment, before leaving to a corner of the room to puke.
King Julien: “Well, that’s enough of that! Carl, I’m sorry to say that we’ll have to vote you out.”
Carl imitates a shrug, as a mechanical hand picks him up and takes him away, with the team being teleported out seconds later - along with Donkey being revived, of course.
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “Congrats! While not landing super high, you guys ended up taking the true neutral spot with third place, Royal Circle of King Julien!”
King Julien: “Hey, not too shabby!”
Donkey: “Hell yeah, I’m back and ready for action!”
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “Now only two teams remain - IDIOT and Cool Friends. Who will prevail? We’ll have to wait and see!”
Meanwhile, in CF’s room, Pizza Steve and Wheatley have come to a conclusion.
Pizza Steve: “Kris, we apologize, but we think you killed Amelia.”
Kris gives a blank expression, simply writing ‘bruh’ on a piece of paper.
Wheatley: “Look, friend, you are the only one here with a weapon!”
Kris points at N’s tail. N is still standing incredibly still. Like, frighteningly still. It’s a little scary.
Pizza Steve: “He wouldn’t hurt a fly, you really think he did it?”
Kris looks to Stanley for backup…
I dunno, I’ve been thinking more about what Flowey said. You reckon he’s right?
…Yeah, it is pretty outlandish. Kris is an easier option.
Stanley shakes his head no, making Kris accept defeat and be taken away… a paper appears shortly after, which falls on Wheatley’s face.
Wheatley: “Oh bloody hell, straight on my face? How inconvenient!”
Pizza Steve takes the paper off the personality core’s face and reads it.
Pizza Steve: “Wrong again? Come on!”
This makes CF and IDIOT tied for failed votes, both teams having one more try before they’re up for elimination. The stakes are high, but eventually…
Charlie makes a stand.
Charlie the Unicorn: “Science Bear, you’ve gone ahead and eliminated two innocent people, how do we know you aren’t the murderer trying to cover up your tracks?”
Charlie’s claim slightly spooks Science Bear, who instantly goes on the defensive, albeit in a calm and collected manner.
Science Bear: “All I’ve done is used observations and data to determine who is the most likely to be the culprit of the crime.”
Charlie the Unicorn: “Yet, both times you’ve failed because of certain factors you refuse to use! I mean, come on, Enderman was trying not to kill anyone by staring upwards before you decided booting them was the best plan, and Blue seemed genuinely saddened when you guys decided to vote him out. It’s as clear as a bell that you’re just trying to let the killer win, even if they aren’t you.”
Science Bear: “That is not the truth in any way, shape, or form, I’m trying to be of assistance-”
Charlie the Unicorn: “Can it. The evidence is stacked against you. I’m voting for Science Bear, anyone joining?”
Charles hesitates before nodding in agreement.
Charles: “He is being… very suspicious.”
Hyehehe, on the other hand, bursts out laughing.
Hyehehe: “Oh, glorious! The great Hyehehe takes the bounty! Science Bear will fall by our very own hands!”
Three votes against Science Bear. Enough to get him taken away by the mechanical hand in the ceiling. Test Tube stands still in a mix of confusion of the turning on Science Bear and the fear of Science Bear truly being the murderer, but this is quickly resolved when the entire team, including dead people and people voted out, are teleported into the outside.
Warrior: “Oh, did we win? Woo!”
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “Unfortunately, no, you did not. You guys voted out the wrong person all three times, and Hyehehe - the murderer - got off scot free.”
Charlie the Unicorn: “You’ve got to be kidding me.”
Science Bear silently slinks away as the team looks defeated, besides Hyehehe, who is boasting about their own personal win.
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “And that means…”
Koe snaps, summoning the CF members next to IDIOT.
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “You guys are automatically safe due to IDIOT’s failing!”
Wheatley: “That’s a relief!”
Pizza Steve: “Wait, but who was the murderer then?...”
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “Good question, which I’m actually going to get to! Since neither one of you two teams ended up discovering the killer, Hyehehe and N will both have an advantage in the next challenge!”
Pizza Steve’s expression changes from mere confusion to one of denial. N? The murderer?
Flowey: “I told you guys! We could’ve gotten out of there faster if you actually LISTENED!!!”
Kris writes ‘n hasn’t done anything remotely like killing before, how were we supposed to believe you’.
Flowey: “Personal experience, duh!”
Kris makes a silent sigh as the screen pans to Pizza Steve, still in denial.
Pizza Steve: “But… N wouldn’t do that! Koe’s gotta be lying for fun or something, there’s no way…”
Pizza Steve turns to N, who stares monotonously, and says one singular sentence.
N: “...”
N: “I must get stronger.”
N opens up his wings and flies off, leaving Pizza Steve more bewildered. Amelia tries comforting him, but he pushes her away and tries chasing after N.
Wheatley: “Well, that’s quite the twist.”
Amelia sighs.
Amelia: “...I only hope this doesn’t end up badly… …We don’t need infighting… …like some of the other teams have…”
Wheatley: “I’m sure all will be well in the end! Just gotta stay positive! Woooo!”
Wheatley rolls away as the screen pans to Koe.
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “Well, you know what time it is now, viewers - time to vote on that little poll down there somewhere!”
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “And that does remind me, I gotta bring Blocky back-”
A portal appears on its own, with Blocky stepping out of it.
Blocky: “Hey guys, so turns out those unicorns I followed were actually chaos spirits and now I sent them away to some alternate dimension, pretty funny, right?”
The four other members of BFDI stare at him.
Blocky: “...What?”
VOTING LINK: [ENDED]
Koe is seen outside the building, looking over something on his screen.
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “This could do.”
He then snaps, and a… tree is summoned. It immediately looks around confused.
Tree-y: “♪ where have i appeared this place is weird ♪”
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “Well, you, my friend, have been chosen to join my competition!”
Tree-y: “♪ that sounds very cool i hope it is not cruel ♪”
Koe realizes he might have made a mistake with picking someone, but decides to roll with it anyways…
Notes:
wow new contestant
Chapter 6: Episode 6 - I am a Tree
Notes:
hi guys its Shameless Plug(TM) time yippee
ever wanted a place to talk about URAADV/ADVBU (and other character elimination shows that exist on ao3)? maybe. idk im not a mind reader. if you do then there is the CECU discord server!!! https://discord.gg/xPZwwCh95J as i said earlier you can talk about URAADV/ADVBU there and other character elimination shows. i even show sneak peeks of future episodes there so if youre interested in that then join!
ok Shameless Plug(TM) over get to reading the episode
(See the end of the chapter for more notes.)
Chapter Text
The episode starts with BFDI sitting at one of the tables in the cafeteria while waiting for their new team member. …And the Blocky plush is there too. Still with a top hat. Blocky seemingly just realizes it’s there.
Blocky: “...What the block is that?”
Nikoly stops eating the ham sandwich he’s having to answer.
Nikoly: “It’s a plush that Mr. Koe made of you when you were gone with those weird unicorns! I don’t know why we still have it, though.”
Red pats the Blocky plush.
Red: “It’s funny…”
Blocky: “.”
Blocky: “Okay then, whatever!”
Squid: “When is that damned host going to get here?”
Sundew: “Probably also working on elimination setup, give him a break.”
Squid: “Probable, I suppose.”
Nikoly: “What do you guys think the new guy will be like?”
Blocky: “I hope they’re a prankster like me! Ha ha!”
Squid: “Someone who is strong would be most beneficial.”
Sundew: “As long as they’re not an idiot I’m fine with anything.”
Red: “I just hope they don’t hate me…”
Nikoly: “I myself…”
Nikoly: “Think it would be pretty funny if they were just a tree that sings!”
The rest of the team stares down Nikoly.
Nikoly: “...Am I alone on this? Aw.”
As if on cue, the doors to the cafeteria open, as Koe enters.
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “Apologies I’m late, y’all! Had to fix a wiring issue with one of the mechanical hands, took a whole hour, heh… Anyways, I’ve got the new teammate with me! Introducing…”
Koe steps out of the way, as the silhouette of the newbie is seen. Blocky, Red, and Nikoly all make the BFDI gasp sound???...
Tree-y: “♪ i have joined the team i am filled with glee ♪”
Squid: “...”
Blocky: “Aw HELLLLLLLLLL naw”
Sundew: “You’ve gotta be kidding me.”
Nikoly celebrates his weirdly correct guess.
Nikoly: “LET’S GOOOOOOO”
Red ignores the other four and walks up to Tree-y to formally greet him.
Red: “Welcome to the team, friend!”
Tree-y: “♪ its my pleasure to arrive i hope we all thrive ♪”
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “Before I leave, here’s your prize from last elimination, Blocky!”
Koe hands Blocky a book with a peculiar cover.
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “Alright, bye! See y’all after the elimination!”
Koe walks out.
Tree-y: “♪ we will meet again goodbye for now friend ♪”
Blocky: “Wonder what this book does?”
Squid: “If I’m recalling correctly, I believe it tells you any information you desire, but only you can read it.”
Blocky: “Sick! So, like, if I ask it…”
Blocky: “Who’s up for elimination this time?”
The book shows ‘IDIOT’, however only Blocky can see this.
Blocky: “Sweet, it works!”
Nikoly: “Dang, if only we could see it…”
Squid: “I feel like that would ruin the effect of it.”
Sundew: “What do you even plan on doing with that thing?”
Blocky: “I’m gonna keep it in my room for now. Plan on using it when the time comes!”
Sundew: “Surprisingly not a bad idea, wow.”
Tree-y: “♪ this is so cool uh ♪”
Red: “It’s okay, you’ll think of a rhyme sometime!”
Cut to a far distance away from the main building, where Lamb is casually eating a burger as Plasma Ball is working on building some kind of statue. Warrior is also there, though he’s just watching.
Warrior: “What’s up with her? She’s acting kinda weird… Not to mention those glowing eyes!”
Lamb: “Oh, trust me, Warrior, it is nothing to fear. It’s a ‘curse’ - though that name can be considered a misnomer - that I’ve placed that makes her more agreeable in relation to this cult’s motives!”
Warrior: “Why not just ask her normally?”
Lamb: “I tried. It failed. I didn’t want it to come to me using magic, but you gotta do what you gotta do, y’know?”
Warrior: “...Yeah, I guess! But something about it still feels off, especially the eyes…”
Lamb: “Don’t ask me about the eyes. I guess it just signifies that I applied the curse.”
Plasma Ball finishes an arm of the statue and turns to Lamb and Warrior.
Plasma Ball?: “Progress is great so far!”
Lamb: “As expected. You’re free to continue onwards. I will allow a short break after the other arm is done.”
Warrior: “Hey, why aren’t I helping at all?”
Lamb: “This job is, in a technical way, a way of condoning for rejection of joining the cult earlier.”
Warrior: “I… guess that’s fair?”
Warrior: “When are we gonna get more people, anyways? It’s only been me until yesterday!”
Lamb: “Oh, trust me, I have plans on what people we should indo-”
Lamb catches himself just before he says the wrong word.
Lamb: “...recruit.”
Warrior doesn’t realize what Lamb was about to say, and nods.
Warrior: “Sounds good! I can probably get my buddy Charles to join in too, if he… doesn’t get eliminated today…”
Lamb: “Well, if he is lucky and survives, I’m sure he will be of great assistance.”
Lamb: “For now, I suggest you head back and go to the waiting room to await the upcoming elimination. I give you my good wishes for this event.”
Warrior: “Alrighty! Thanks, Lamb!”
Warrior begins running back to the building. Lamb watches him fade into the distance, before turning to the statue.
Lamb: “Soon, I will begin my reign over this realm…”
Cut to Pizza Steve lying down on the floor in his room. The door is opened lightly by Amelia, who is clearly worried about him.
Pizza Steve: “...”
Pizza Steve: “I’m trying to rest here…”
The door is opened wider, and the candle enters.
Amelia: “It’s not healthy for you to just stay cooped up in your room…”
Pizza Steve: “But I don’t know what else to do!”
Pizza Steve: “I’m just… really stressed about what’s happened to N… he completely shut down from all of us, and then he’s a killer now?! None of this makes sense…”
Amelia: “I don’t know why it’s happened either, but… The best you can do is try to focus on other things.”
Pizza Steve: “I’d try, but there’s nothing else I can think about when the thoughts of worrying about him plague my mind!”
Amelia: “...After the challenge, I’ll try to help you out more. I can’t do much right now… as it’s likely we’ll get interrupted…”
Pizza Steve sighs.
Pizza Steve: “Alright… but can you leave? I’d like to be in solitude for now…”
Amelia: “If you insist… but don’t forget to come out once the challenge is about to begin…”
Amelia leaves the room, closing the door shortly. She then walks out to the main hall, where Flowey, Stanley, and Wheatley are waiting.
Flowey: “Is he gonna stop moping around or what?”
Wheatley: “Hey, that’s quite insensitive of you!”
Flowey: “It’s not my fault I’m not the ‘feelings connoisseur’ or whatever.”
Amelia: “He’s… not doing too good… but he should at least come along for the challenge… I’ll try talking with him once it’s over.”
Well, at least not all is lost. I still have some bad feelings about N’s current state, but I’m sure things will get better at some point.
Flowey: “Ya better make sure he gets his head back in the game, cause I’m not losing because of some sappy shit!”
Wheatley: “Come on, I just said you were being insensitive!-”
Flowey: “Yea, yea, shut up and let me be the aggressive one.”
Why must Flowey be so… abhorrent, for lack of a better term?
Cut to a lounge room, where Kris is chilling on a couch while drinking a soda. However, an odd silhouette appears behind them… They realize, however, and quickly leap off the couch and onto the floor upright, holding their sword. However, this is when they see that the figure is… N?
Something’s off, though. His movements… they’re much more janky. And on his screen, instead of his eyes or even an X, there’s one regular eye and one… irregular symbol in place of the other.
Kris keeps focus on the weird-acting N, slowly approaching while holding their sword out. N’s symbol eye changes appearance as Kris’s sword is suddenly flung straight past their neck and into the wall, frightening them.
Kris hastily writes on a paper ‘n what the hell has gotten into you???’. And, N begins to reply… except some other voice comes out of his mouth instead of his own.
???: “Serial Designation N is gone.”
This just makes things even more confusing for Kris. They once again write down ‘who the hell are you then’.
???: “Annoyed look. That is not important.”
Angry with the lack of answers, Kris writes down one final question…
‘what do you want from me’
???: “Smile. You brought Serial Designation N to a mental place where I could take control. And I will repay that kindness by destroying your competition. The gemstone will be mine and yours.”
Kris is trapped in a state of confusion after this. Some force has taken over N, and now… wants to kill every single other contestant in this competition? Without a true answer to give to the response, Kris simply nods in understanding, before backing away and leaving, forgetting to take their sword with them.
???: “Smirk. Step one complete.”
Cut to Bill Cipher reading something on a phone outside the building, before making a gasping face.
Bill Cipher: “Oh COME ON, REALLY?”
Artificer, who is watching over Nacho and Plankton - the two contestants attempting to fling rocks at each other - turns to Bill Cipher in one swift motion.
Artificer: “What the hell managed to make you pissed off?”
Bill Cipher: “Nothing your puny mortal brain would understand, just the competition I was in before going here got PUT ON HIATUS. And replaced with season three! What the hell!”
…I said before that wasn’t canon-
Bill Cipher: “Shut your out-of-this-plane mouth.”
damn
Artificer: “...What was that?”
Bill Cipher: “Something you couldn’t comprehend. Ha!”
Artificer: “Why do you have to be like this.”
Bill Cipher: “Because I can! By the way, you failed your job.”
Bill points to behind Artificer, where Nacho and Plankton have started rapidly flinging the rocks at each other’s faces.
Artificer: “Did you really just distract me just so they could start fighting???”
Bill Cipher: “Who knows? Maybe I did! Ha!”
Bill tap-dances away with an evil grin as Artificer makes a frustrated noise.
Meanwhile, Lamb and Plasma Ball (how did they get to the building so fast??? we’ll never know probably) walk by Artificer, who quickly notices.
Artificer: “Plasma Ball, what are you doing with Lamb?”
Lamb expected this to happen sooner or later, so he takes a calm approach to the situation.
Plasma Ball?: “I’m just hanging out with someone, nothing much!”
Artificer: “You’re acting… extremely out of character, admittedly. But sure, do whatever, I could care less at this point if I must be honest. Gotta deal with these guys anyways.”
Lamb and Plasma Ball continue onwards.
Cut to inside the hallways of the building, where Warrior is running through it like a maze, trying to find the waiting room for the elimination area. Eventually, he kicks down the right door into the waiting room.
Warrior: “Finally! That was taking forever! Felt like an endless maze, heh.”
…The elimination had already started, as evident by the open door to the elimination area.
Warrior: “I am so far behind oh no-”
Warrior runs through the door, sliding into a seat next to the other members of IDIOT.
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “This time, we got- OH.”
Warrior: “Sorry I’m late, everyone! Got occupied.”
Science Bear: “It is good to see that you made it regardless of your unknown activities taking up time.”
Charlie the Unicorn: “What were you even doing?”
Warrior: “Confidential!”
Charlie the Unicorn: “Sounds suspicious, but you do you.”
Enderman gives a quick glare at Warrior, assuming something different from what Warrior actually meant, though Warrior, as the oblivious fool he is, doesn’t notice this gesture.
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “Now, without being interrupted, let’s actually do the elimination!”
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “This time around, we got thirty-one votes! The number just keeps growing and growing! And starting off the spin votes, Warrior and Science Bear ended up with absolutely none!”
Science Bear: “That’s an unfortunate event to have occurred.”
Warrior: “Aw, dang…”
Charles: “Maybe next time you’ll get some, Warrior!”
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “Now, onto people who actually did get votes, Hyehehe got two!”
Hyehehe: “The glorious Hyehehe shall spin regardless!”
Hyehehe actually ends up spinning the wheel, but Koe grabs them and glues them down into their seat before stopping the wheel’s turning.
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “Okay, no tomfoolery right now. Vote reason time! The only one Hyehehe received is ‘This choice was obvious, they're my 5th favorite monster of my 2nd favorite class (The only reason they're not higher is that I really like Yawstrich and Sporerow and Buzzinga and Knerv are adorable.) -Tayoga’.”
Hyehehe: “Fifth! The great one that is Hyehehe should be higher, what distaste!”
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “Says the one glued down into a chair right now…”
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “Anyways, the three next up in the list of those not spinning the wheel are Charles, Charlie the Unicorn and Enderman, with three, another three, and four votes respectively!”
Charles: “Aw, darn…”
Charlie the Unicorn: “I could care less, if I must be truthful.”
Enderman makes a half-annoyed, half-grateful sound.
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “Let’s start with Charles’s votes! Beginning with ‘I know Charles is a serious contender for elimination, so I'm giving him the luck wheel for a chance at safety. Yes, I know, it's the greatest plan.’. Ha ha funny reference.”
Charles: “...I have that high of a chance to be eliminated?”
Warrior: “Probably a hyperbole, don’t worry, Charles!”
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “The second reason is ‘he's cool I guess idk’. Pretty simple, but hey, we don’t discriminate based on reason complexity here!”
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “Lastly, we have ‘bEcausE CharlEs is so AWESOME and cool and I hopE hE makEs it supEr far also to see morE stuff with his hElicoptEr’.”
Charles: “Even if I didn’t get to spin, thanks for the kind words!”
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “To the next one! Charlie the Unicorn’s votes begin with ‘Cave! When you get inside you'll find yourself a cheery land, such a happy and joy-filled and perky merry land! They've got lollipops and gummy drops and candy things, oh so many things that will brighten up your day! It's impossible to wear a frown in Candy Town, it's the mecca of love, the Candy Cave! They've got jellybeans and coconuts with little hats, candy raps, chocolate bats, it's a wonderland of sweets! Ride the candy train to town and hear the candy band, candy bells, it's a treat, as they march across the land! Cherry ribbons stream across the sky into the ground! Turn around, it astounds, it's the dancing candy tree! In the Candy Cave, imagination runs so free! So now Charlie, will you please go into the cave?" - ADAGE’. …well then”
Charlie the Unicorn: “Why did it have to be that song, of all songs?”
Test Tube: “What’s wrong with that song? It didn’t sound too bad to me!”
Charlie the Unicorn: “I lost a kidney because of it.”
Test Tube: “...Oh.”
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “Next, he received ‘You know I wonder what the season one cast is doing and if they will meet theses guys at any point. (Also the two why can’t you fly like those other two unicorns?)’. For the record, I have no plans on any cross-season shenanigans.”
Charlie the Unicorn: “Unicorns don’t even fly normally, as far as I know, so how am I supposed to explain how those two can fly?”
Blue seems to ask who ‘those two’ are.
Charlie the Unicorn: “The annoyances I have to live with every day back at home.”
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “And lastly, we have ‘Both here and in his home dimension, Charlie the Unicorn has had to deal with a lot of stuff. Chaos spirits in the form of unicorns, crazy adventures he doesn't want to do at all, and creatures exploding in front of him constantly, it's clearly scarred him, and it doesn't get much better for him in the competition. Plus, he's definitely one of the most grounded contestants, having clear, justifiable motives for whatever he does.’.”
Charlie the Unicorn: “Unlike those other two, I can actually say thanks to this one- …chaos spirits?-”
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “Okay moving on Enderman’s first vote reason is ‘so chill so awesome yes. respect eye contact rules’.”
Enderman nods.
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “Next is ‘YEAH WE BACK IN THE MINE PICKAXE SWINGING FROM SIDE TO SIDE (CREEPER, AW MAN)’.”
Enderman seems to question this while Blue silently laughs at it.
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “Then we have ‘there is a tree-y
he makes me go he-he
(wait i realized he got in. in place of the LUMBERJACK oooooooh)’.”
Science Bear: “Who is this ‘Tree-y’ that the voter mentions?”
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “You’ll see after the elimination!”
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “Finishing off Enderman’s spin reasons is ‘theyre just.. a silly guy. thats all i have to say.
-zapper’.”
If Enderman had thumbs, they would give a thumbs up.
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “Now, onto the final two! Blue and Test Tube! You two received more spin votes than anyone else, with one of you getting five votes and the other getting an entire fourteen! That’s a record breaker right there, beating Artificer and Red’s previous score! But who will earn this feat?”
Blue is practically bursting with anticipation.
Test Tube: “This is so exciting! But at the same time, I wouldn’t mind much if Blue got to spin the wheel either, I think he’s done a good job in my opinion.”
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “Being a good sport about it? Practically unheard of! With that of note, let’s get into the preliminary vote reasons - starting with Blue, whose first reason we’ll be reading here is ‘blue. because my best friend is named blue. despite my favorite color being red. aaanyways, blue how are you doing? -para (🐟)’.”
Blue gives a thumbs up as a ‘doing good’.
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “Next up is ‘funny drug stick.’.”
Charles: “...Drugs?”
Blue shrugs, although he actually knows what ‘drugs’ is referring to in this scenario. Cheeky bastard.
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “Next has another drug joke and some other stuff - ‘STEROIDS/POTIONS FOR THE WIN YEEEAAAH!!!
Tiiiiiiiissssss I the lore guy i am here to give either lore or fun facts about some of you
Umm so Plasma ball may or may not have been mind controlled by the Lamb so watch oit for Lamb if he tries to recruit you tell him you agree to join.
Plz pass the "plasma ball is mind controlled" message to NNIT’. Well, have fun with that bonus message, none of my business!”
Warrior immediately starts sweating in confusion after hearing the mind control part. The rest of the team looks concerned.
Charlie the Unicorn: “Mind control? Are you KIDDING me?”
Science Bear: “Well, I’d like to avoid Lamb as much as I can with that knowledge.”
Enderman angrily screeches.
Charles: “Guys, how do we know we can really trust this person though?...”
Test Tube: “Charles does raise a good point, the voter could just be employing fear-mongering or something similar!”
Science Bear: “Regardless, I feel like it would be in our best interests to treat this as fact. I will relay a message to Not Naming It That concerning the supposed mind control, once the challenge is completed.”
Blue straight up doesn’t know who Plasma Ball or Lamb is somehow, so he just stays silent. Well, he’d be silent anyways, but you know what I mean.
Hyehehe: “What a turn of events! Hyehehehehe!”
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “The fourth reason is ‘paper rustling noises okay so like yknow how you guys on idiot dont really know much about blue because they dont talk ? yeah so like im here to fix that gagging coughing AHEM so: blue lives in a computer with their friends and in this computer is a game called minecraft . and they can use items and shit from that game . and as some of you know not all games follow the correct laws of physics . also the netherwart tthat theyre always eating ? yeah no they have an addiction to that shit uhm . blue id hate to remind you of this but like you deadass got your friends involved in someone else's villian arc because you coulr not surivive without your nethwart . fucking addictANYWays dont worry i have an actual voting reason : their potion making, farming, and cooking skills are actually really cool and theyre a part of my favorite series, theyre chill with other people usually which i love to see and also ghey saved someones child by JUMPING IN LAVA i genuinely have to respect them for that. purples my favourite though but blue is still SUPER COOL and awesome and deserves to spin this wheel - the goober’.”
Science Bear: “That’s quite an abundance of information, I formally thank you, voter known as ‘the goober’, for telling us this.”
Test Tube: “Is that all true?”
Test Tube looks to Blue, who nods in confirmation… while eating nether wart. The irony.
Test Tube: “Huh. Interesting!”
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “For the time being, the final vote reason I’ll be reading for Blue is ‘blue’s the best color!,also, how do you get these long episodes out so fast?’. That one’s a bit of a fourth wall breaker, so…”
Boom! Here to answer the question. It’s a combination of a lot of free time and an ungodly amount of motivation. I also have general plans for the upcoming few episodes written out to help write the main plot points of the episode. Okay back to the actual stuff
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “Alright, that part’s over.”
Charlie the Unicorn: “What the hell did you even do there?”
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “Nunya business. Now, to Test Tube’s reasons! We begin this set with ‘test tube deserves to spin after being shattered multiple times.’.”
Test Tube: “It was only once that I’ve died from shattering here, but I’d be lying if I said I didn’t appreciate the concern regardless!”
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “Next up is ‘hard choice between blue n testy besty westy mesty pesty (test tube).... but like i rlly rlly rlly rlly rlly love test tube!!!! and i am ALIVE GUYS!!! - starry’. Oh, phew, that’s good to know!”
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “Then we have ‘ILYSM TEST TUBE /p
also goo competed here in the previous season
note for charles: GREATEST PLAN HJAYHSTUY- /pos
also i have no idea which timeline you're from so uh. what has henry (stickmin) been doin? at least from what you last remember
- Ember Nyxtical (EmberTheAlphaWolf)’.”
Test Tube: “There was a second season?”
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “Yep!”
Test Tube: “Huh! Good to see Goo’s out doing things.”
Silence for a few moments…
Charles: “...Which timeline I’m from?”
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “THATTTTTTTTTTTT’S NOT IMPORTANT just answer the question if you want to”
Charles: “Well, last time I can remember, which is honestly pretty fuzzy at this point, we and Henry’s friend who I unfortunately can’t remember the name of had just defeated the Toppats… I think.”
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “ok cool question answered”
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “Alright next up! ‘they're the one I know the most about :]’.”
Science Bear: “Is it not peculiar to anyone else how people tend to talk about us as if they know every detail of our lives?”
Test Tube: “Well, I mean, I was on a publicly televised show before, so I would understand that about me! You guys? I dunno.”
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “And lastly, we have ‘childhood hero -paleskowitz’.”
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “Now, with all said, let’s reveal who ended up getting more votes!”
Drumroll, and…
Test Tube only got five votes. Blue received fourteen.
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “Congrats, Blue, you’re the winner and get to spin the Incredible Wheel of Luck!”
Confetti falls down from the ceiling as Blue celebrates his victory.
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “Of course, we have to actually read your other vote reasons before you can! Starting with ‘There were quite a few characters that I wanted to choose on this team, but I chose Blue because they were created by an animator I really enjoy watching. Also, rants won't be a normal thing in my voting process.
-BigMinionD’.”
Science Bear: “Created by an animator?”
Blue basically says ‘not really’ in his arm movement language, not actually realizing it’s meant in a meta way and not in a lore way. Not like he would be able to know that anyways but pop off i gues…
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “Next reason is
‘ b.
88b
888b.
88888b
888888b.
8888P"
P" `8.
`8.
`8’.”
Test Tube: “That’s just a cursor, what’s the relevance?”
Blue goes on to explain what the cursor means.
Test Tube: “Oh, I see!”
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “Next reason is… ‘1 iltam zumrā rašubti ilātim

Mr. Koe Hohzd: “Next is ‘Has more character than some others I could mention, despite being mute.’.”
Charlie the Unicorn: “All this time I thought he just didn’t like talking.”
Warrior: “Same!”
The other members of IDIOT seem to agree with this, except Hyehehe, who is currently trying to gnaw the chair it’s been glued to. Blue just stares at them all in disappointment with his… nonexistent eyes.
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “Then we have ‘Blue! you INNOCENT child! You deserve an advantage’.”
If Blue had a mouth, he would smile.
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “Next is ‘Lumina: Hey, he desserves it after what happened in the challenge.’.”
Blue gives the side-eye to Science Bear, who moves his seat away from the stickman a little.
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “Last is ‘Because he should.’. …Well, simple, but I guess there’s no arguing with that.”
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “Now get over to the wheel and spin!”
Blue runs over to the wheel and spins it hastily…
‘Choose one person to be confirmed safe’
Blue looks at the prize listed on the wheel, before turning around and pointing to Test Tube.
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “You want Test Tube to be safe? Alrighty then!”
Test Tube: “Oh, gee, thanks Blue!”
Blue gives a thumbs up as he hops back into his seat.
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “This is also a good segway into the actual elimination portion! We’ll start with those who have no votes, which are Blue and Enderman.”
Blue celebrates again while Enderman gives a simple nod of approval. Koe then hands bottles with different liquids in them to the two.
Charles: “What do those… do?”
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “i dunno”
Charles: “.”
Blue, knowing he had received a potion, chugs it immediately. He then tests to see what the potion did, and runs around the room at high speeds, becoming dizzy and falling into his chair unceremoniously.
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “...Huh. Guess that’s what it does.”
Enderman scratches their head in confusion, before drinking theirs. They start levitating up to the ceiling, freaking out while doing so, and end up breaking a hole through the ceiling and flying into the sky to maybe never be seen again.
Charlie the Unicorn: “What.”
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “I’m not going to question what just happened there...”
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “Anyways next safe is Test Tube, who was given immunity by Blue, but was safe anyways with just one vote!”
Koe gives a potion to Test Tube, who refrains from drinking it.
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “The vote reason she received was ‘Why are you reading this?’. …Because you wrote it???”
Koe makes the vote reason physical and throws it out the window and into the distance.
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “Anyways, the next three safe are Charles, Charlie the Unicorn, and Science Bear, each with three.”
Koe gives all three potions. …They all refuse to drink the potions as well.
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “Aw…”
Charlie the Unicorn: “Isn’t it obvious why we’re not drinking them? One made Blue ridiculously fast and the other made Enderman drift off to who knows where!”
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “Yeah, fair.”
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “Onto vote reasons for each of you! Starting with Charles, we have ‘you killed rocket with a helicopter. and for that you shall never be forgiven.’.”
Charles: “I had to for the challenge, it’s not my fault! I didn’t want to kill him anyways but he attacked first…”
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “The other reason he received is ‘HAHA LOOK GUYS I SURVIVED (ok but seriously maybe i should take csre of myself.........eh) ANYWAYYYYYY UPDATE ON MY LIFE!!! SO I WENT TO THE HOSPITAL AND ALMOST DIED :333 BUT I WAS FINE!!! also have you ever wondered what would happen if you were to jump off a 2763 floor building? not that i'll do that obviously!! I HAVE BASIC SURVIVAL SKILLS OR WHATEVER GUYS!! I DONT JUMP OFF BUILDINGS. - starry but healthyer’.”
Charlie the Unicorn: “I have a sneaking suspicion that the part about not jumping off that absurdly high building is a form of reverse psychology or the like.”
Science Bear: “...why two thousand seven hundred sixty three stories in specific?”
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “You wouldn’t get it B)”
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “Ok now with that said it’s time for Charlie’s vote reasons, starting with ‘You really don't contribute that much sorry.
Tiiiiiiiissssss I the lore guy heres today's fun fact
Fun fact: Charles has an odd habit of constantly crashing his helicopter during every single one of his missions.’.”
Charlie the Unicorn: “I’m not even going to refute that, honestly that’s a good point.”
Warrior: “Charles you have a helicopter???”
Charles: “Warrior… you were literally in the crowd when I used it in the fourth challenge…”
Warrior blinks.
Warrior: “Oh. Oops.”
Charles facepalms.
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “Next is ‘Shade: In all honesty I picked randomly, rng if you get what I mean.’.”
Charlie gives a deadpan expression.
Charlie the Unicorn: “That’s possibly the worst way to vote!”
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “Eh, don’t blame me. Lastly, we have… Oh my fucking god not this again.”
Koe holds his hand to his head as he sighs.
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “I’m not reading this one. Next time I’m not even going to acknowledge it.”
Science Bear: “...What is it, if I may ask?”
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “Nunya business. Let’s just get back to what we were doing, which, ironically, is now your vote reasons, the first one being ‘man.... idk... my man was just kinda.... wrong’.”
Science Bear: “I presume this is about my actions during the previous challenge. It wasn’t my intention to create a hostile environment, I was merely using scientific calculations to deduce whom the murder may have been, without considering other important aspects.”
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “The other reason received is ‘Charles is safe because Henry Stickmin is great. Enderman is safe because Endermen are cool. Hyehehe is safe because he added an extra verse to Earth Island (Buzzinga is a better Mythical though). Charlie is safe because I pity him I guess. Blue is the best combatant, so I'm keeping him safe too. Warrior was the first to join a certain group. He's safe, I must see where this leads. This leaves Science Bear and Test Tube, who are basically the same character. Test Tube, you don't actually do anything. So obviously, I'm voting off Science Bear! That should give you a chance to shine. Sorry about this, Science Bear. - ADAGE’.”
Science Bear: “I find it ironic how the skill of deduction is used against me. I must ask, however…”
Science Bear turns to Warrior.
Science Bear: “What is this ‘certain group’ that the voter has mentioned you joining?”
Warrior: “Oh, it’s nothing major, don’t worry! Though it’s, uh, confidential! Yea!”
Science Bear: “I see. Well, that satisfies my curiosity enough to where I won’t press further.”
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “With all those done, it’s time for the final two… Hyehehe and Warrior!”
Spotlights shine on Hyehehe and Warrior. Warrior looks worried, while Hyehehe…
Hyehehe: “Me, the great Hyehehe, being eliminated? Ha! What a foolish thought!”
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “I wouldn’t make bold claims like that yet… let’s just read out some vote reasons for both of you.”
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “For Warrior, we’ll begin with ‘To be honest I barely remember anything he's done. -Tayoga’.”
Warrior: “I’ve done useful things! And, y’know, confidential things that I can’t actually say here.”
Charles: “This confidentiality stuff is beginning to worry me.”
Blue nods from his place in the chair he accidentally toppled earlier.
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “Next is ‘Pretty boring, in all honesty. Don't like him. To be completely fair, it was a tough vote, and it took me a while to decide.’.”
Warrior: “I’m not boring!... I think…”
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “Third is ‘Warrior you have been of no use for this team and you have barely any personality not to mention if you were a pie you would probably be a bland one that only looks good on the surface. 😾’. JEEEEESUS that’s harsh, especially the pie part.”
Warrior just looks defeated, not saying anything. Charles pats him on the head lightly.
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “Lastly, we have ‘wEll this is a vEry tough choicE bEcausE EvEryone on this tEam arE supEr likEable but I think sadly warrior is the wEakest link also he got killEd off first this challEngE (P.S: sorry warrior)’.”
Warrior: “It’s not my fault I died first… It was theirs!”
Warrior points at Hyehehe, who chuckles.
Hyehehe: “All is fair in love and war, except it’s actually not! Hyehehehehehe!”
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “Shut your Jevil-ass mouth and let me get to your vote reasons. We’re gonna start with ‘Voting hehehe because he's annoying, but knowing him? he'd probably cheat death even if he was voted the most.’.”
Hyehehe: “Oh, you know me too well, hyehehehe!”
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “Next is ‘I dont know anyone here. So I voted the elf-rat looking thing.’.”
Hyehehe: “I am not an elf, nor a rat, I am Hyehehe!”
they’re a hyena
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “Then we have ‘Easiest vote of my life. Bootleg Bill Cipher has got to go.’.”
Hyehehe: “Bootleg Bill Cipher? Preposterous!”
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “Lastly is ‘who the fuck is hyehehe’.”
Hyehehe: “You do not know the great Hyehehe? You shall learn! Hyeheheheheheh-”
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “No time for origin stories, it's time to reveal the votes!”
The holographic bar graph slowly has Warrior and Hyehehe’s bars rise, until…
Warrior has four votes.
Hyehehe has seventeen.
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “Hyehehe is out with a record seventeen votes!”
Fourth wall break again - as far as I know, that’s the most votes a character in any AO3 show fic has gotten for elimination! Good job Hyehehe. But not really since they’re eliminated. Eh. Anyways Koe hands a potion to Warrior, who discreetly pockets it.
Hyehehe: “...The great Hyehehe demands a recount!”
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “I checked over the votes, like, eighteen times before we started. There’s no mess ups here, folks.”
Hyehehe detaches themself from their chairy prison.
Hyehehe: “Foolish mortal! I shall take my revenge!-”
Koe monotonously shushes Hyehehe.
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “Not right now, we have to read the rest of the votes. First is ‘insane guy. I don't like you. >:( -para’.”
Hyehehe: “You mock the very fibers of who I am? I play god like a puppet on strings! Your witty words are worthless to me!”
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “Okay now you’re just having a villain arc anyways next is ‘I honestly have no idea who he is, but with how he's been acting in this show so far, he gives off obvious villain vibes.
-BigMinionD’. Ironic placement.”
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “Next is ‘1. im the least familliar with you, hyehehe (and also warrior)
- what the fuck.
- Ember Nyxtical (EmberTheAlphaWolf)’.”
Hyehehe laughs.
Hyehehe: “Hyehehehehe! No familiarity?! I assure you, you will all be familiar with me very soon.”
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “The next reason is ‘I’m shaking buy him brown contacts PLEASE - okay so I kinda wanna be sneaky anonymous so I’ll just steal a fandom character’s name for this… paleskowitz (IT’S PETSCOPPIN TIME I GUESS)’. Yeah, their eyes are…”
Koe squints while looking at Hyehehe, who is tearing their chair to bits while everyone else looks in horror… well except Enderman who is still in the vastness of the sky.
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “Creepy.”
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “Reason four is ‘This vote is incredibly easy... it's Hyehehe. Hands down one of the worst characters, really only beaten by Golurk. Their character relies way too much on creating chaos, and the way they handle their meta abilities has sucked ever since episode 1.’.”
Hyehehe: “One of the worst? False! All fall under me!”
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “Then we have ‘creature -bob’. A mentally deranged creature, indeed.”
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “The next few I’m going to go rapid fire on, we have ‘Incredibly annoying.’, ‘Not funny. Didn't laugh.’, and ‘Hyehehe sucks.’. I agree with all of these voters.”
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “Lastly, we have… okay this is. Uh. A large one. I’ll split it into two readings, the first one being the actual involves-contestants section - ‘NullCommands here. I need to write my voting reasons faster.
also you were probably lucky that I'm the sus detector and not VoidInstructions. they'd probably have spammed his amogus ramblings.
Blue: not sus. nice bloke really. he might as well be the only sane one atm.
Charles: not sus, won't stir up trouble, basically a nice guy. (what's his greatest plan tho?)
Charlie: feels like an odd guy really... well at least he doesn't hinder his teammates so I'd say he's alright. still kinda sus.
Enderman: needs to control their anger issues... or is it involuntary? I kinda sympathise with them on this one but still, kinda sus.
Hyehehe: MEGA SUS ඞඞඞ - oh hell no not this motherfucking 4th-wall-breaking narcissist. I hate this guy.
Science Bear: to be honest he's a bit too nerdy for his own good - science is cool and all but it doesn't make much of a charismatic person if it takes over their entire personality. anyway, not sus
Test Tube: not sus, but same deal as Science Bear really. on second thought, hold on, she and Science Bear do share the same interests and are actively working together. it's pretty nice for the two of them, actually. <del>science bear/test tube when</del>
Warrior: sorry, I forgot you existed!’”
Hyehehe: “Pff! Suspicious? You dare use that word against the mighty Hyehehe!”
Most of the contestants seem to be focused on their own detections, while Science Bear seems to have noticed a particular detail…
Science Bear: “What does that slash mean in Test Tube’s section?”
Test Tube, knowing what it means, immediately jumps into the conversation.
Test Tube: “Ittttt means nothing i-important! Yeah…”
Science Bear gives a look at Test Tube.
Science Bear: “...Are you sure?”
Blue rolls his eyes and tells Science Bear that he’ll just tell the bear what it means after the challenge.
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “Now for the other section… Get ready for walls of text, chaos, voter vs voter wars, and shameless plugs, folks. ‘btw, to the guy who spouted shit about Blocky's, uh, certain appendices, I would like to raise counterpoints:
- gender != sex and/or the stuff in your pants. as an enby, I would know.
- objects don't have genitals, man.
also, it took a lot of time to finally submit a voting reason in time, in no small part thanks to the obligatory sus detections which can often be tiring and exhausting, and sometimes you just need to catch a break and relax. which is why I personally play and recommend the video game Elemental on Discord™, our proud sponsor for this sus detection!
currently over 1400 people have joined EoD's official Discord server, and it's one of the most impressive and content-packed Discord games with detailed information for each element, intuitive controls and smooth performance! starting from only Air, Earth, Fire, and Water, you can create many interesting, lore-filled, and sometimes horny elements out of over 660000 elements and counting in up to 18 play channels including the fabled play7! you can even leave your own mark on the server by suggesting new elements! all the elements in the game can be customized with unique signatures, images and colors that give an element its unique flair! the mechanics of the game are also very useful and one-of-a-kind, including queries, paths, and categories like "damen what the fuck" and figuring out the perfect combination of attributes is part of the fun! with over 25+4i reviews like "eod changed my life tbh", "my no-eod past was changed", "now i eat eod, drink eod, bathe in eod, sleep with eod", "my life is just so much better with eod ☺️" and "EoD fucked me and left my rotting Carcass scattered across the four Corners of the Earth. My soul weeps, it rattles and shivers in Fear, the Trials and Tribulations our almighty God has done unto me have utterly shaken me to my very Core.
How could such a merciful God allow this? What Sin o' Lord? That we deserve such cruel Punishment. Abandon all Hope, ye' who enter Here. And know this, that when the Time comes, we shall all be consumed by the Wrath of this Server, piled upon Layers upon Layers of wretched Emissions and Filth, we are but Slaves to this Machine.

Charlie the Unicorn: “What the actual fuck was that?”
Charles: “Did they… have too much sleep deprivation or something?”
Blue nods in agreement with the two’s concerns.
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “I wish I had a shred of knowledge on what that part was supposed to mean. Whatever, it’s time for Hyehehe to go-”
Hyehehe: “Not if I have anything to say about it, hyehehehehehehehehehe!”
Hyehehe flies out of the hole in the ceiling that Enderman made and goes off to who knows where.
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “...You know, sometimes I regret ever adding it to the show roster.”
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “Whatever, let’s just get out there and start up the challenge!”
Koe opens the door, and IDIOT walks out… except Enderman, of course. Koe extends his hand to drag down Enderman and reverse the levitation effects of the potion they drank. Enderman nods while covering their eyes so as to not aggro themselves, then leaves with the rest.
Cut to outside the building, where everyone is gathered, including the very recent addition of Tree-y. Many contestants give odd glances to the newbie.
Artificer: “Who is this?”
Tree-y: “♪ my name is tree-y please do not fear me ♪”
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “I’m sure you all are aware of Blocky’s Funny Doings International losing two members last elimination, however this wasn’t supposed to happen but I forgot to remove something from the IWoL so… yeah. Tree-y is the replacement since I can’t reverse the effects of the wheel.”
Plankton: “That’s stupid.”
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “ok and”
Plankton: “...”
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “That’s what I thought.”
Meanwhile, in the crowd, N’s now-overtaken body stands limply next to the rest of CF, with Kris looking particularly unnerved. The rest of the team seems completely normal - well, normal as in how they’ve been feeling since last time.
Flowey: “What’s up with you, Kris? You’re never this down in the dumps! You look stupid like that!”
Amelia: “Maybe they’re just… stressed about the whole N situation… considering they did accidentally assist in it… no offense intended, Kris.”
Kris gives a slight, barely-noticeable nod as they look at… well, not N anymore, that’s for sure. The body stands in a hunched position, head facing slightly towards Kris, and screen currently off. Kris feels chills up their spine, but keeps quiet about it.
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “This next challenge won’t be too hard, hopefully - your goal is to make the highest stack of blocks within an hour! The team with the smallest tower goes up for elimination. Simple, so I trust that people won’t get too carried away, but who am I to tell? We start now!”
Koe snaps, and the teams are teleported to a clearing, the teams situated in a pentagonal shape. Each team has a decently sized pile of blocks near them. Cut to BFDI.
Blocky: “Alright, new guy, show us your strength!”
Tree-y: “♪ i cannot move well it is not swell ♪”
Blocky gives an unamused look.
Blocky: “Alright, plan B! Nikoly, Red, Sundew, you three work on building. Me and Squid can go attack NNIT and get them up for elimination as revenge. Tree-y, you defend everyone here. Everyone good with that?”
Nikoly nods in approval. Red shrugs. Sundew sighs in annoyance, but ultimately decides to go along with it.
Squid: “I don’t see any reason to go against that.”
Tree-y: “♪ i will stand guard i hope it wont be hard ♪”
Blocky: “That’s the spirit, guys! Come on, Squid, let’s wreck those losers!”
Blocky runs off towards NNIT as Squid follows after. Cut to IDIOT, where the team is slowly stacking up blocks - minus Blue, who is speeding around rapidly.
Science Bear: “Blue, I do not mean to be rude, but could you perhaps help us out in this endeavor?”
Warrior: “I’m not sure he can, Mr. Science Dude! Look, he’s going so fast, there’s no way he’ll have precision!”
Science Bear inspects Blue’s movements.
Science Bear: “Ah, it appears you’re right, Warrior. Well, there is not much we can do about that, I suppose. Blue can act as a threat dispatcher for this challenge, or until the potion wears off, whichever may come first.”
Charlie the Unicorn: “Hopefully the second, it’s hard stacking when you have hooves instead of hands !”
Test Tube: “I’m sure you’ll get used to it at some point!”
Charlie grumbles.
Charles: “Do you guys wonder where Hyehehe went?”
Warrior: “Probably to the other side of the world or something where it can do its funny tricks without Koe being able to do anything!”
Charlie the Unicorn: “Hopefully that pest doesn’t try to interfere with us, let alone any team.”
Test Tube: “That wouldn’t be very ideal, yeah.”
Science Bear: “Perhaps one day they will return and Koe will lock them away into his orb like what was meant to happen, but for now we just have to deal with the fact that Hyehehe is out and about this plane.”
Cut to RCoKJ, where the block stack is swiftly being built by Spider-Ham, as the rest of the team relaxes.
King Julien: “Thank you for taking the workload into your own hands, Spider-Ham.”
Spider-Ham: “No problem, King Julien!”
As Spider-Ham, the rest of the team converses among themselves.
Rocket: “It’s nice to relax for once, right, Ploque?”
Ploque: “Mmhmm… much needed. Especially with the lack of a meeting today. I don’t see why we have to go to those…”
Rocket: “Well, we are part of Julien’s royal circle.”
Ploque: “Not by choice! We just got thrown onto the team because there were none open! Some people think we hate being here, and for me, they’re right! It’s not even fair…”
Rocket thinks for a moment…
Rocket: “Well, what I think you should do is focus on more positive things!”
Ploque: “Like what? There’s nothing positive to do or think about except my saws. …And I left those in my room.”
Ploque sighs in sadness. Rocket scratches his head, not sure how to continue the conversation. At the other side of the tower, the rest of the team is playing some card game, except Glendale who is increasingly more confused by the gameplay.
Lamb: “I play a fourteenth slice on your eight apples, now you have to give me two cards and take a new one from the deck.”
Donkey: “Aw, darn!”
Donkey hands two cards to Lamb and grabs one from the deck, which is held in a decahedron-shaped container. Donkey groans upon seeing what he drew.
Donkey: “Second oven! Can’t draw again next turn, aw man…”
King Julien: “Don’t worry, your luck in this game may blossom soon!”
Lamb: “He’s your enemy in this card game, don’t empathize with his losses. They’re good for you.”
Carl plays a card with a poorly drawn image of a severed human hand on it…
Carl: “Hand of fate. Everyone give me one of your cards.”
Glendale, still watching, continues looking on in confusion.
Glendale: “What?...”
Cut to CF, where the team is oddly silent. Pizza Steve slowly adds blocks to the stack, as the other members sit around… except N’s body, which is once again standing limply, yet completely still. Flowey tries to lighten up the mood in his… unique way.
Flowey: “Anyone wanna bully another team? I’ve got a craving for chaos!”
Only silence greets Flowey… at this point, everyone’s just ignoring him.
Flowey: “Cold shoulder. Wow. Thanks guys.”
The lack of talking continues for a while, until suddenly N’s body shoots up, his screen turning on to once again show one eye and one odd symbol. Nobody actually ends up noticing, though they certainly do realize when N’s body looks at the stack… and the blocks are duplicated far into the sky.
Amelia: “...What?”
Pizza Steve: “N, how did you do that?”
Wheatley: “Woah!”
Flowey: “Of course when N does something he gets all the attention!”
…
I can already tell things are going downhill, just from what you’re saying, other narrator. The rest need to be warned about this, Stanley, write something down quick-
N’s body opens his wings and flies off, leaving the rest alone with the winning tower.
Welp. It’s too late.
The seemingly-possessed body of N flies towards NNIT, where said team is having decent success. Bill is watching the rest of the team work while he just floats in the sky like the lazy ass he is.
Bill Cipher: “Work faster, lower ones!”
Artificer: “I think we’d all work faster if you were actually helping.”
Plankton: “Yeah! I can barely even hold this!”
Plankton drops the block he’s holding, and almost squashes himself, but manages to stay clear of death. Nacho places another block on the one he dropped.
Plankton: “Come on, seriously?!”
Nacho: “Yes, seriously.”
Torch God makes a :| face with themselves, as Artificer sighs.
Artificer: “Why does our team have to be like this?”
Plasma Ball?: “If you ignore them, things will work out better.”
Plasma Ball places three blocks at once onto the tower., then walks off to gather more.
Things go steady, until N’s body crashes into Bill from behind, catching him off-guard and sending both through NNIT’s tower.
Artificer: “Who the fuck was that?!”
Plankton: “Now we have to start over again!”
Bill gets up from the attack, looking N straight in the face, and takes notice of the changed eye.
Bill Cipher: “Ha! You’re trying to attack me, the one and only Bill Cipher? Honestly, I never expected someone like you to make as bold of a move as that. But now, it’s toodeloo for you!”
Bill tries turning N to stone, but the stone casing is immediately broken. Once again, an irregular voice speaks out.
???: “Evil laugh. You cannot contain me. I am not Serial Designation N. I am greater than him, and greater than you.”
N flies up to match Bill face-to-face.
???: “Malicious grin. You cannot defeat me. This is your end.”
Bill Cipher: “Switching things up, eh? Well, that’s not gonna do shit to me!”
Bill tries uppercutting N, but the triangle’s hand is grabbed and slammed to the ground. N’s hands turn into blades as he takes two slices, which… actually injures Bill?...
Bill Cipher: “Jesus fucking christ, what the hell was that!?”
Bill gets up, and begins firing electric charges from his eye. N dodges these with ease as he inches closer.
???: “Smug face. You are getting too far in over your head now.”
Bill Cipher: “Shut up, you peasant!”
???: “I am not the peasant here. You are the serf which must pass.”
N uses his tail to shoot a concentrated beam of acid straight into Bill’s eye, thwarting his attacks and leaving him vulnerable. Meanwhile, NNIT watches in awe and/or confusion.
Plankton: “That prick’s finally getting what he deserves!”
The Knight looks uneasy about this development. Artificer seems to agree with them.
Artificer: “If N has suddenly gained the ability to bring Bill Cipher to his knees, imagine how weak we are in comparison. We can’t just stand here and be sitting ducks!”
At that moment, Blocky and Squid arrived to mess with NNIT, but instead saw N approaching a defeated Bill with a blank, monotonous look.
???: “It is time for you to perish.”
Blocky: “What the block is going on over there?”
Squid: “Beats me.”
Squid looks at the rest of NNIT.
Squid: “What the hell happened to Bill?”
Artificer gives a rude gaze at Squid, keeping in mind the two team’s rivalry, but decides to answer anyway.
Artificer: “It’s not him. It’s N.”
Blocky: “Gawd damn.”
Squid: “...This is what I feared would happen. N’s body has become too overwhelmed and now he is nothing more than a powerful killing machine. We are utterly screwed.”
As Squid finishes his sentence, N rips out Bill’s eye, leaving the triangle screaming in pain as the final blow is hit to him, causing him to straight up disappear. N holds the removed eye and crushes it, before turning to the rest of NNIT, Blocky, and Squid.
???: “Evil smile. It’s time to die.”
N rushes at the group, as everyone clamors to escape from the oncoming attacker. Plasma Ball is the first fatality, being shattered by a single slash. N then shoots beams of lasers in every direction, which hit Plankton, dissipating him instantly. Blocky and Squid retreat to BFDI, as the surviving members of NNIT head off in a random direction. N decides to follow them over the other team.
Artificer: “We are so fucked over.”
Nacho: “Duh.”
The Knight silently curses at Nacho, who just rolls her eyes. Torch God decides to try and defend the others from N by making a wall of torches to slow the disassembly drone down, but one swipe of his claws and nothing remains but stubs.
Artificer: “There goes Torch God…”
Nacho: “I’m out.”
Nacho stops running as she is crunched to bits by N’s hand. Artificer and the Knight keep running, but run into an issue as the earth itself seems to be blocking the two from escaping by shooting up walls in front of them.
Artificer: “Fucking hell, what snapped within N?”
Artificer throws an explosive spear at N while running, but it’s thrown back at her, though it misses just BARELY. The Knight, on the other hand, has become fully committed to just RUNNING AS FAST AS POSSIBLE. After a while, Artificer sighs.
Artificer: “There’s no surviving. This guy has infinite energy. We’re just going to get tired and then be killed off, there’s no difference.”
Artificer stops running as she is killed by N. The Knight tries to continue running, but slams straight into a wall and is dragged to N by an invisible force.
???: “Snicker. You cannot escape now.”
The Knight tries stabbing N with their nail, but said nail is shrunk to a harmless size, leaving the Knight helpless as they are finally killed off, eliminating NNIT completely…
Meanwhile, Blocky and Squid have made their way back to BFDI’s tower, both exhausted and scared. The rest of the team looks at the two in confusion, bar Tree-y who is singing to himself.
Nikoly: “You guys don’t look too good, what happened?”
Sundew: “Lemme guess, had a run-in with Bill and he knocked some sense into you two?”
Blocky: “Worse.”
Sundew: “What could possibly be worse than that?”
Red: “Getting crushed by a piano, maybe?”
Sundew: “...That’s the first thing you think of?”
Red: “I have a fear of pianos falling on my head, gimme a break…”
Squid gives a grimace, before revealing what happened…
Squid: “N.”
Sundew looks confused for a moment, before bursting out in laughter.
Sundew: “THAT GUY SCARED YOU?! WOW, I didn’t think you guys were THAT idiotic, but surprise surprise!”
Nikoly, despite his usual jokey demeanor, actually gives a level of concern, and points a scythe at Sundew’s throat.
Nikoly: “Something clearly happened to them bad enough to traumatize, Sundew. Shut the fuck up.”
Sundew shushes immediately, backing up, as Red looks confused about the sudden change in Nikoly’s behavior. The fish Espacio then turns to Blocky and Squid.
Nikoly: “Tell us what happened with N.”
Blocky: “We went to NNIT’s place to mess with them, knock down their tower or something like that…”
Squid: “But N had attacked Bill Cipher. Killed him in cold blood. Ripped his eye out and crushed it like an apple.”
Blocky: “Something’s fucked up with him. His voice, his eyes… it’s not right.”
The rest of BFDI looks in concern, even Tree-y, who has stopped his singing.
Tree-y: “thats not good…”
Nikoly: “We have to abandon this challenge and escape. This isn’t a matter of winning or losing, this is a matter of life or death.”
Nikoly grabs Tree-y and heads off, leaving one final remark.
Nikoly: “Every person for themselves.”
Sundew looks embarrassed about her mocking, as Red silently leaves to the building.
As Nikoly and Tree-y make their escape far away, a familiar face crashes in front of them, yellow eye-and-symbol glowing creepily.
???: “You are not going anywhere.”
Nikoly drops Tree-y, before taking out two scythes.
Nikoly: “Bring it on.”
Tree-y: “♪ lets hope n will lose we dont want a killer loose ♪”
Nikoly and N enter a fast-paced battle, each one trading blows towards the other, though Nikoly can never get a good hit as he is struck with forceful blows time after time. Tree-y, meanwhile, stays off to the side, simply watching since he hasn’t actually dealt with something this high-caliber before.
Nikoly: “Die, you fucking asshole…”
???: “Grin. I will not fall by your hand.”
Nikoly is suddenly grabbed by an invisible force, and slammed into Tree-y, knocking both to the ground. N pulls out a chainsaw, and leaps towards the two with incredible speed, slicing through the tree and damaging Nikoly heavily. The fish stares at N with hollow eyes as Tree-y has now become one of many victims.
NIKOLY: “Your payment is due. Please (#%(@%(T@#%(4@#%#@*($(*!@#TYhrjJHH To continue services.”
Once again, Nikoly enters an orange form with realistic eyes, gripping a scythe angrily.
???: “This will be entertaining.”
Observed Nikoly slashes rapidly at N as hordes of Espacoins, sentient and inanimate alike, are thrown at N. However, unlike Lamb’s encounter with the terrifying alter ego, N doesn’t take any hits, clearing the swarm with ease.
OBSERVED NIKOLY: “THEE KILLION COINS.”
Observed Nikoly finally lands a good hit on N, though the wound… regenerates instantly.
???: “You thought I would go down quickly. Now you meet your fate.”
Parts of the earth fly up from around Observed Nikoly, slamming into him, but he persists, taking out his fury on the air as he tries reaching N… to no avail.
OBSERVED NIKOLY: “GIVE ME BACK COINS NOW I DID.”
???: “Laugh.”
One of the drone’s hands turns into a rocket launcher, and shoots Observed Nikoly, snapping him out of the alter ego and severely damaging him.
???: “Ha ha.”
Now passed out, Nikoly can do nothing but lay on the floor as N limbers over to him and uses a blade to finish the fish off…
Meanwhile, at RCoKJ, things are still peaceful. The tower has made great progress so far.
Spider-Ham: “Block nine hundred eighty three… block nine hundred eighty four… block nine hundred eighty five…”
King Julien calls up to Spider-Ham from the ground, just barely being audible.
King Julien: “Why don’t you take a break? You’re already almost at one thousand!”
Spider-Ham considered it, before hopping off the stack carefully and sticking the landing with his webs.
Spider-Ham: “Sounds good!”
The card game started earlier is close to finished, as King Julien and Carl have been eliminated from the game, leaving only Donkey and Lamb. Glendale’s still in confusion about the whole game.
Donkey: “Wheel of seven! I’m making a comeback!”
Donkey takes two cards from the deck, giving him six total cards.
Lamb: “That ‘comeback’ will not be lasting for long, my adversary.”
Lamb places down a card which is a… familiar symbol. That’s some freaky ass foreshadowing, card game.
Lamb: “Solver card. You give me half your hand.”
Donkey: “Darn it!”
Donkey reluctantly hands three cards to Lamb, who gives a subtle smirk.
Glendale: “I’m still really confused…”
Carl sips from his totally-regular-coffee.
Carl: “You get used to it over time.”
Glendale nods, then eyes the totally-regular-coffee.
Glendale: “Is that…-”
Carl: “No.”
Glendale: “Alright!”
Over with Ploque and Rocket, the two are sitting in lawn chairs.
Rocket: “How’d you even get these, Ploque? I don’t think there’s any place to get lawn chairs around here!”
Ploque: “I’m a carpenter, I make my own!”
Rocket: “Huh, never knew that.”
Ploque: “...Rocket, have you never seen my saw collection.”
Rocket: “I thought that was just a general interest, gimme a break!”
Rocket jokingly pouts.
Rocket: “These are pretty nice, though. Good work!”
Cut to CF, where once again, everyone is sitting in silence, especially since y’know. N randomly decided to beat the challenge by a long shot and then leave. Eventually, Wheatley decides to turn around to look at the other team’s areas, to see if he can check where N is, and catches the sight of N in the distance killing Squid, and the bodies around and past NNIT’s area.
Wheatley: “Hey, lads? Buddies? Friends? I don’t mean to alarm you all, but I think N’s gone mad.”
Flowey: “What makes you say that, you spherical fucke-”
Flowey and everyone else turns around to see the corpses and the distant death of Squid.. With the fate of the other three BFDI members unknown.
Flowey: “HOLY SHIT LMAO.”
Amelia: “...Oh dear…”
Pizza Steve: “That can’t be good at all…”
I knew something bad was going to happen. If only we actually had time to warn everyone.
Wheatley: “What do you lot think we should do?”
Flowey: “Let him kill the other teams, duh!”
Kris gives a glare at Flowey, before deciding to explain…
‘that isn’t n. it’s some other force controlling his body. in the tournament challenge when i had n help me fight, he was accidentally strained to a point where the thing could take over his body. it’s not just a threat to the other teams, it’s a threat to us too.’
Silence ensues, before Pizza Steve speaks up…
Pizza Steve: “We have to kill N.”
How are we supposed to do that?
Amelia: “There’s… no way we’re going to be able to… kill him in this state…”
Wheatley: “Hey, we can at least try! That’s better than lounging around and accepting our demise!”
Flowey: “Yeah, let’s turn this stupid robot into nothing more than scraps!”
Flowey laughs maniacally.
Cut to IDIOT, where they are blissfully unaware of what’s going down, instead focusing on working on their block stack.
Science Bear: “I must admit, this is going painfully slow.”
Charlie the Unicorn: “You don’t think?”
Charlie tries getting a block on top of the stack, but it just barely misses and flies straight into Charles’s face, knocking him to the ground.
Charles: “Ow-”
Charlie the Unicorn: “Shit, sorry.”
Charlie walks over to Charles and helps him up, then grabs the block that smacked the stickman’s face.
Warrior: “Anyone else wondering how the other teams are doing?”
Science Bear: “I’d say it’s best we focus on our team instead of the progress of others.”
Enderman nods, teleporting onto the top of the tower and adding a few blocks. Meanwhile, Blue is still running around at stupidly high speeds, caught up in the pure adrenaline coming from it.
Test Tube: “Blue, are you sure it’s a good idea to spend so much energy? When the potion wears off you may be super fatigued…”
Blue shrugs as he runs around, but pauses once he catches a glimpse of something. Turning around, he sees CF approaching the team. Blue pulls out a diamond sword just in case an attack was planned, watching the arriving team very carefully.
Pizza Steve: “Hi other team- woah, woah, please do not point that sword at us.”
Blue pockets the sword slowly as the rest of IDIOT comes over to see CF’s arrival.
Science Bear: “Blue, there’s no need to go aggressive on this team, they mean no harm.”
Blue shrugs, saying that it was a precaution.
Science Bear: “Apologies for that, Cool Friends. What brings you over here? I hope it isn’t an attack.”
Wheatley: “It’s not an attack, moreso launching one on somebody! But, like, an attack attack, not a messing with attack.”
Charlie the Unicorn: “Who is it that you want our help with? The faster you say it the sooner we can get it over with.”
Wheatley: “It’s… it’s…”
Flowey: “It’s N! Dumbass!”
This greatly confuses IDIOT.
Test Tube: “But he’s your team member! Why would you want to fight him?”
Kris writes ‘something has overtaken his body and plans on killing everyone to take the prize for itself. if we kill n we’ll boot out the virus or whatever and everyone will be saved’.
Science Bear: “Well, that’s certainly a danger.”
Warrior: “Let’s go fight him!”
Flowey: “Hell yeah, that’s what I’m talking about!”
Warrior and Flowey rush towards N. Charlie facepalms.
Charlie the Unicorn: “No plans. Fine then.”
Charles: “Let’s just go and get this over with!”
Charles has his helicopter arrive, and he, along with Science Bear, Test Tube, and Pizza Steve hop in, as the others run after Warrior and Flowey to get to N.
Meanwhile, where N is, BFDI has seemingly been finished off. The bodies of Blocky, Squid, and Sundew sit around the drone, and Red, or what may remain of him, is nowhere to be seen.
???: “Two down. Three to go.”
The sound of helicopter blades begins to be heard, as N’s body looks up to see Charles’s helicopter flying above.
Charles: “It’s time for the greatest plan!”
The helicopter starts diving towards N, but before it can hit him, the helicopter is mysteriously slammed into the ground, exploding into bits. Everyone inside survives, miraculously.
Charles: “Aw, darn. Well, plan B, everyone!”
Charles runs at N, but one bullet and he’s out. Science Bear, Test Tube, and Pizza Steve watch in horror.
Science Bear: “This is going to be much more difficult than I predicted.”
Test Tube: “Didn’t... Didn't N kill Bill?”
Pizza Steve: “Well, there’s no reason in wasting time! Let’s just attack already!”
At this time, the rest of IDIOT and CF arrive, all ready to attack - minus Amelia who is really not ready at all but helping anyways. N leaps at the group, slamming Wheatley into the ground and frying his circuits. Everyone else launches attacks, besides Amelia, who N quickly shatters with a punch to the face.
Flowey: “God damn, he’s strong!”
Warrior: “Yeah, something is possessing him or something, whatever Kris said!”
Warrior jabs his sword into N, but is then struck by a flurry of bullets from N’s arm, which is now a minigun. Flowey ducks to avoid the bullets. Meanwhile, Blue is running around the battle area while trying to figure out how to reverse the effects of the potion. Unfortunately for him, he does not have any milk on him. Great planning, Blue.
Test Tube: “We need to go in there and help them!”
Science Bear: “I’m not an experienced fighter in any regard, but yes, it is imperative that we assist in taking down the threat.”
Test Tube and Science Bear enter the fray, as Pizza Steve stands on the sidelines… ironic considering he was the one who said they had to kill N. But can you blame him? It’s hard to have to kill your best friend in the entire competition.
In the battle, N stabs Stanley with his nanite-filled tail, effectively killing him. The drone then rotates everyone around him rapidly to disorient, before grabbing another kill by shattering Test Tube.
Charlie the Unicorn: “Why did we, of all teams, have to be dragged into this?”
Charlie narrowly dodges a missile shot by N, which blows a hole in the earth behind him.
Science Bear: “Two teams are already down, and one is much less fit for battle than we are. Plus, we weren’t too far from Cool Friend’s area, so it was a safer option.”
Science Bear manages to hook an uppercut strike to N, knocking him down, but he flies up into the air and starts shooting nanite beams down below. Charlie is struck and killed by the downpour, as Enderman, Science Bear, Flowey, and Kris are the only ones left standing. Enderman finally locks eyes with N, and enters a rage as they teleport everyone to try and get a hit in.
???: “Maniacal laugh. You can’t defeat me.”
N grabs Enderman, who is trying to smack the disassembly drone straight in the face, with no success.
???: “Goodbye, Enderman.”
N crushes Enderman’s torso, and drops them to the ground. They poof into nothing more than an ender pearl. Science Bear picks it up and throws it at N’s face, being able to land on it and send him to the ground, however N’s body gets back up and shoots the bear straight in the face, causing him to collapse.
Flowey: “Come on, seriously, they’re all dead?! What was the point of getting them in the first place?!”
Kris, going in to attack, ignores Flowey. Meanwhile, Pizza Steve is still watching, having seen the massacre of the majority of both fighting teams. He looks at Blue, who has given up trying to stop his speed, and has an idea.
Pizza Steve: “Blue! Just run at N and attack him! That should be able to weaken him!”
Blue hears this and nods, before dashing at N with incredible speeds. Flowey, who was in the way of this attack, is crushed by Blue and promptly killed. However, right when Blue’s about to crash into the murder drone…
???: “Nice try. Giggle.”
Blue is suddenly frozen in place. He looks around, confused, as N’s limp body stumbles over to him.
???: “I know your power. But you cannot defeat me. Ha ha.”
Before whatever is controlling N can do anything, though, N’s head is chopped off by a quick slash of Kris’s sword. Blue’s frozen state is returned to normal, and he lets out a nod of thanks. Just as the two are about to leave, though, the head of N regenerates.
???: “You cannot kill me that easily.”
Kris turns around, but not fast enough for a hand of blades to slash through their heart, ending them instantly. Blue takes out his diamond sword to fight, but forgot his massive speed boost and smacks into N’s body instead, sending both to the ground. Blue takes the opportunity to pin N to the ground, but is flung into the air by a mysterious force. Pizza Steve sees this and decides that he shouldn’t be doing absolutely nothing. He charges towards N and punches his head, causing it to spin around, but it doesn’t do jack squat in the end.
???: “Nice try.”
Pizza Steve, instead of trying to fight with words or actions, asks one simple question.
Pizza Steve: “Who are you.”
???: “The Solver of the Absolute Fabric, the Void, the Exponential End.”
Pizza Steve: “That doesn’t explain jack shit.”
AbsoluteSolver: “Good.”
N’s body begins shooting a horde of bullets at Pizza Steve, who manages to dodge them, though in the process his sunglasses are knocked off and skid away. N almost gets a hit when Blue sneak attacks him, kicking the drone to the ground and engaging in a one-on-one sword fight. Pizza Steve tries helping, but can’t do much as the fight is too intense for him to properly assist Blue.
AbsoluteSolver: “It is a shame that a fighter like you must fall. It will be painless, though. Smirk. Maybe.”
N sends Blue slamming into the ground, as the stickman’s life is dangling by a thread. Both keep slashing, though Blue’s definitely close to death at this point, and one good hit will end him. Pizza Steve, scrambling to find something to help, picks up a sword dropped by Blue.
Pizza Steve: “...best I can do.”
Pizza Steve rushes at N, who is close to killing Blue.
AbsoluteSolver: “See you later. Alligator.”
Blue’s head is almost cut off by N’s blade hand, but an unexpected attack hits as Pizza Steve shoves Blue’s sword into the very core of the drone. Nothing happens for a moment…
And then N explodes.
Nothing is left after the explosion but a giant crater, the debris - and Pizza Steve’s miraculously-intact sunglasses - flying through the air in all directions. No part of Blue, N, or Pizza Steve can be seen in the crater. They’re straight up just gone.
At RCoKJ’s tower, Ploque and Rocket are still lounging in the lawn chairs. Rocket now has sunglasses and is drinking some kind of smoothie.
Rocket: “Mmm, yum.”
Ploque stares up at the sky, before Pizza Steve’s sunglasses fall into her lap. She, somehow, doesn’t notice that it’s specifically Pizza Steve’s.
Ploque: “Oh, nice, free sunglasses!”
Ploque puts on the sunglasses, which looks a bit goofy due to her having a singular symbol instead of two eyes, but it’s fine.
Then, in the air, a massive chunk of debris can be seen flying towards the team.
Ploque: “...Hey Rocket, is it just me or-”
The chunk of earth slams into the tower, toppling it and killing everyone but Ploque and Rocket. Both survivors pull up their sunglasses and look behind them.
Rocket: “That’s gotta hurt, oof…”
Ploque: “And our tower’s gone too! Great!”
As the two look at the destroyed tower, the screen pans to Koe, who walks in right next to the scene.
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “That’s a wrap, everyone! The hour is over and-”
Koe sees the carnage around the area, the massive crater in the middle, and Ploque and Rocket looking defeatedly at the giant piece of ground covering their tower and teammates.
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “...”
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “What the actual fuck happened here???”
Ploque turns to Koe as Rocket begins trying to move the debris.
Ploque: “I dunno, one second me and Rocket are relaxing, then these cool sunglasses fall from the sky, and then boom! Instant loss!”
A figure runs out of the building and slides past Koe, then walks back after stopping sliding…
Red: “N kinda went crazy…”
Surprise surprise! Red managed to live! Apparently N - well, the AbsoluteSolver - never saw the among us man go into the building.
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “I refuse to believe he did THIS.”
Red: “Trust me, he did! I saw from inside. The guy killed my team in cold blood. And how else would the crater be there?...”
Koe holds his hand to his head as he groans.
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “If this was any other show I would be in so much legal trouble.”
Koe turns to Ploque and Rocket.
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “Well, since you two don’t have a stack, I guess you guys are up for elimination.”
Ploque: “Damnit.”
Rocket: “Aw…”
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “I should probably… revive everyone else now.”
Koe claps, and everyone who died is revived. Koe’s jaw drops upon seeing that BILL CIPHER was killed.
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “How the fuck-”
Bill Cipher: “I dunno either! Don’t ask me!”
Bill angrily floats away. The other teams start to disperse, as RCoKJ looks at the sight of their block stack now crumbled.
Spider-Ham: “All that work for nothing! C’mon!”
King Julien: “Unfortunately, we’ve hit our first loss today, team. Let’s all hope we improve to be bigger and better after this, however!”
Meanwhile, Amelia and Stanley carry N, who is booting up, into the building, as the rest of CF follows. The team arrives in their hallway and brings N into his room.
Amelia: “Let’s… hope this worked…”
Wheatley: “I don’t think we should jinx it, y’know!”
Eventually, N’s screen stops showing the booting up message. Shortly after, his face appears - not the weird half-eye half-symbol face, but his normal one.
N: “Aw, geez, my head kinda hurts… What happened?”
Pizza Steve: “He’s alive and back to normal!”
Wheatley: “Hooray!”
The team starts celebrating their success in reverting N back. The drone, on the other hand, is very confused, not remembering a singular thing. Kris steps away from the celebrators to explain.
‘something possessed you and tried killing everyone to get the prize for itself, and the only way we could stop it was to kill you. i guess pizza steve and blue managed to do so. i dunno about your lack of memories though’
N: “Ohhh, okay!”
N jumps off his bed.
N: “Woohoo! Party!”
VOTING LINK: [ENDED]
Science Bear: “Ah, I see what it means now.”
Blue nods.
Science Bear: “Well, I wouldn’t even begin to consider that, as I have no need nor want for any sort of romance.”
Blue gives a thumbs up.
Science Bear: “However…”
Blue tilts his head, anticipating what Science Bear is going to say…
Science Bear: “I do whole-heartedly believe you would better fit my role in that.”
Blue spits out the nether wart he was eating, looking at Science Bear confusedly.
Science Bear: “Look, I may not be an expert on emotions, but I’ve been able to tell for a long time now your feelings about her.”
Blue lightly facepalms.
Science Bear: “I’d say, take your chance before you lose it. You never know what will happen.”
Blue imitates a groan and nods.
Silence remains between the two, before Blue asks about informing NNIT on the Plasma Ball situation.
Science Bear: “That I haven’t done, due to wanting to relax after the unadulterated chaos that the challenge became. I plan on giving the info to the team tomorrow morning before the elimination, as long as I can avoid Lamb.”
Blue gives a thumbs up, and gets up from his seat at a cafeteria table, leaving to go to his room. He waves goodbye to Science Bear, who returns the gesture.

Chapter 7: Episode 7 - Mis-Cakes Were Made
Notes:
aka nacho finally does something (not clickbait)
Chapter Text
The episode starts with Science Bear standing idly outside the hallway to IDIOT’s rooms, quietly snacking on some chips. Suddenly, Blue bursts out from a room, clearly very excited, and almost runs into Science Bear due to not paying attention.
Science Bear: “You certainly seem ecstatic today, Blue. I take it you followed my advice?”
Blue nods vigorously.
Science Bear: “Well, that’s nice to know. As for yesterday’s concerns on informing NNIT about the debacle, I was planning on doing it soon, but I suppose now is better than never.”
Blue gives a thumbs up, then speeds out of the hallway and to somewhere else in the building. Science Bear begins to walk towards NNIT’s hallway, but something smacks him in the head and knocks him out. Lamb walks in, having thrown the object that made Science Bear pass out.
Lamb: “I can’t be having anything important revealed.”
Lamb then calls Plasma Ball in, and the two take Science Bear to some other room that’s pitch black. Science Bear wakes up in the room, confused about where he is.
Science Bear: “Well, that’s certainly bothersome…”
Science Bear gets up, and immediately sees the glow emanating from Plasma Ball’s eyes. Lamb also turns on a lantern to illuminate his face.
Lamb: “We are aware of rumors you have heard of regarding Plasma Ball, and we are simply here to defuse them before they spread and cause unnecessary distrust. I have only taken drastic measures because otherwise, I would be at risk.”
Science Bear: “If you were trying to defend yourselves from the rumors, why go into the effort to do this?”
Lamb: “Because we have a question to ask. Failure in answering correctly or at all will result in dire consequences.”
Lamb puts heavy emphasis on ‘dire consequences’.
Science Bear: “What is it that you need to know from me?”
Lamb: “It’s not what you know, but rather, what your choice is.”
Lamb: “Will you join my cult, and by extension the kingdom of King Julien, by your own accord or by force? Failure to comply with the correct answer will bring you…”
Plasma Ball mindlessly holds up a heavily sharpened knife, glistening in the light of Lamb’s lantern.
Lamb: “Unsatisfactory results.”
Science Bear: “I guess I don’t have much of a choice. But please don’t harm any of my teammates.”
Lamb: “That wasn’t planned, I assure you. Farewell for now, Science Bear.”
Lamb knocks out Science Bear again, and he and Plasma Ball drag him back out of the room and back into the hallway discreetly…
Meanwhile, outside the building, Blue is gleefully telling something to Enderman and Red as the three are building something with Minecraft blocks, Blue wearing a pumpkin so as to not accidentally aggravate Enderman. Enderman seems to give simple nods and thumbs ups to what Blue is saying, while Red is egging the stickman on.
Red: “That’s great! Can’t wait to see how it turns out!...”
Enderman notices a tinge of sadness in Red’s voice, and tilts their head to ask what’s wrong.
Red: “Eh, nothing, just… Don’t got anyone on my team I can really befriend, y’know! Well, except Tree-y, but, uh…”
Flashback to Tree-y standing outside Red’s door while singing.
Tree-y: “♪ can you wake up please we have places to be ♪”
Red’s muffled voice can be heard from within the room.
Red: “I’m not even sleeping, I’m just drawing!”
Tree-y: “♪ you should not be in there long it will be a slog ♪”
Red groans from inside his room. Cut back to present time.
Red: “...he can be a bit irritating sometimes, admittedly.”
Enderman thoughtfully nods, as Blue puts some blocks in place, before telling Red how he shouldn’t have to worry about making friends on his team since he can just hang out with the other two.
Red: “Yeah, true, but I don’t want to be enemies with my own teammates! There’s already one team in disarray as is…”
Red motions to NNIT, where a giant argument is happening with everyone - save for Plasma Ball. Wonder why that could be, hmmmmmmm.
Red: “And, above all else, I just… don’t want to feel left out.”
Blue gives a silent sigh, before explaining further that if Red has clear differences from his team, it’s completely fine.
Red: “...Whatever you say, I suppose.”
Red plops a block into place.
Red: “Say, what are we building, anyways?”
Enderman picks up Red and plops him down a distance away from the build as Blue also comes to admire the finished construction - a one-to-one recreation of the Skeld.
Red: “Woah, how’d you manage to make it so exact? This is amazing!”
Blue… keeps his methods a secret. Enderman had nothing to do with it so they shrug.
Red: “Works for me! Thanks, you two!”
Red gives handshakes to both of them, who nod in thanks. Blue then says that Red can use the build for a practical purpose, as a getaway from BFDI when needed.
Red: “Oh, that’s really thoughtful! Thanks again! See you later when the challenge starts!”
Red runs over to the build and enters it, as Blue and Enderman fistbump.
Cut to NNIT, where their argument is about what to do with the whole Plasma Ball situation.
Bill Cipher: “I say we just kill her and then that’ll fix her!”
Artificer: “She died during N’s massacre last challenge, and yet she’s still screwed up, that isn’t going to do shit.”
Plankton: “It’s probably some sort of hypnosis, we can just snap her out of it!”
Nacho: “And what’s your plan for doing that?...”
Plankton goes silent.
Nacho: “That’s what I assumed.”
The Knight argues by writing that if it really is hypnosis, then that should have also been fixed upon death.
Plankton: “Barnacles, I guess that’s true.”
Torch God writes ‘MAYBE IT’S REALLY’
‘STRONG HYPNOSIS’
‘THERE’S SOME POWERFUL’
‘PEOPLE AROUND HERE’
Artificer: “You raise a good point, but the only person I could think of who could pull that type of shit is Bill Cipher, and something’s telling me he - surprisingly - isn’t the culprit.”
Bill Cipher: “Surprisingly? Tsk, tsk, I am offended!”
Artificer: “Good.”
Torch God seems to think for a moment, before writing ‘LAMB?’
Artificer: “...I could see that. For now, we should keep tabs on him. But don’t forget, we also need to work on getting those people on Blocky’s team up for elimination. That’s our main goal. Plasma Ball… yes, her odd state is annoying, but ultimately not as important.”
Plankton: “That’s something I can agree on!”
Nacho: “Then I don’t agree on it.”
The Knight gives a confused stare at Nacho. Plankton just sighs heavily as his response, fed up with her.
Cut to the cafeteria, where RCoKJ is once again holding a meeting. Lamb arrives late, accompanied by Plasma Ball. He sits down.
Donkey: “You’re late? That’s crazy!”
Spider-Ham: “Never did I expect that to happen.”
Lamb: “I got caught up in… personal business.”
King Julien nods in understanding.
King Julien: “No harm there! Now, let us begin this meeting!”
King Julien: “First off, Lamb, have you brought in any new citizens?”
Lamb: “Science Bear from IDIOT has been successfully recruited, and I have advised Warrior to ask his friend to join our kingdom. Besides that, not much progress has been made, but I do plan on inviting more of the team IDIOT, since they stand on neutral grounds with all teams as of now, and after the cataclysm Cool Friends had last challenge I’m more hesitant on bringing members from that team.”
King Julien: “Sounds good! Anyone else got any news?”
Ploque: “I accidentally ripped a hole through the walls of everyone’s rooms in my row with one of my saws. That’s the only mildly interesting thing I can think of.”
Glendale: “That’s not good!”
Lamb: “And you… didn’t bother to fix it.”
Ploque: “Yeah, pretty much!”
Rocket: “Ploque, that’s not nice!”
Ploque nods knowingly.
Carl: “I found the remains of an ancient civilization underground.”
Ploque, seemingly already knowing something’s up, gives a glare at Carl.
Carl: “What? I didn’t do anything bad.”
Ploque: “I find it hard to believe that.”
Carl: “...So maybe I accidentally read forbidden tablets from said ancient civilization…”
Ploque facepalms.
Carl: “Hey, it’s not like it’ll summon an eldritch god or anything!”
Rocket: “That’s called jinxing, right?”
Ploque: “Yes. Thanks Carl for ruining everything ever.”
Glendale: “I’m sure he didn’t mean it!”
Ploque: “Hard doubt on that front! This guy literally cut off Donkey’s front legs for whatever the heck a ‘meat dragon’ is.”
Donkey: “It didn’t feel very good at all!”
Glendale: “...Yeah, I guess that’s true.”
Lamb: “You guys are getting disastrously off-topic.”
King Julien: “That may have been… harsh… But Lamb is right, we have a topic of utmost importance to discuss - which is our upcoming elimination.”
And just like that, the fear of getting out sets in on everyone… except Lamb, who seems disinterested. Also Plasma Ball since she’s not even ON the team, and y’know. possession stuff.
Glendale: “I don’t want to be first eliminated from this team!”
Spider-Ham: “I doubt anyone here wants to be!”
King Julien: “I assure you all that we’ll stand strong no matter who we may lose! Unless it is me, that would be a very bad time. But I stand by the idea that I will stay to live another day, so no disarray will occur!”
Glendale: “I think we can all agree King Julien being safe is top priority, right?”
Most nod. Ploque and Rocket don’t, and Lamb does it VERY slowly, though he has Plasma Ball seemingly agree for him.
Lamb: “It’ll be an unfortunate circumstance indeed.”
King Julien: “With all said, I have one final request before this meeting finalizes.”
King Julien turns to Glendale.
King Julien: “In the circumstance I am voted out, will you take the role of leader?”
Glendale: “Of course!”
King Julien: “Thank you. You are all dismissed! However, I suggest we head to the waiting room for elimination now so we’re not late.”
This is agreed on by everyone, so the entire team heads to the elimination waiting room, Lamb having Plasma Ball remain in the cafeteria. He and Ploque are the last ones to leave, so Ploque takes the opportunity to ask a single question.
Ploque: “Why is she always with you? I haven’t seen her leave your side since you revealed the whole agreeability curse shtick.”
Lamb: “It sustains the curse’s power, in a way.”
Ploque seems a bit off-put by the answer, but still nods in acceptance of Lamb’s response, albeit with a nervous look. The two leave the cafeteria and go to the waiting room.
Cut to a game room, where all of CF is playing some sort of board game, including Flowey who looks very disinterested but definitely got forced to play anyways.
Flowey: “I don’t get this, how the fuck am I supposed to progress if I keep getting sent back?!”
Pizza Steve: “Just gotta get better luck, Flowster!”
Flowey: “Do not call me that.”
Pizza Steve rolls two dice, and gets a ten.
Pizza Steve: “Score!”
Pizza Steve moves a game piece ten spaces and lands on a ‘roll again’ tile.
Flowey: “Wh- how- WHAT?!?!”
Amelia: “I… think you should calm down… a little, Flowey.”
Agreed, the guy’s too hotheaded for his own good.
Wheatley: “Hey, he’s not threatening to kill anyone this time, I think it’s better than last time!”
Flowey: “Want me to change that?”
Wheatley: “...No thank you!”
Flowey: “Good, now shut up.”
Pizza Steve rolls a five, and moves to a basic tile.
Pizza Steve: “Could be worse. Your turn, N.”
N: “Yeah, nice!”
N grabs the dice and rolls them. He gets a one, which places his playing piece on a ‘move back eight spaces’ tile.
N: “Aw, biscuits!”
Kris gives a ‘sucks hard’ look at N, who moves his piece backwards.
N: “Alrighty, Stanley and co, your time to shine!”
N tosses the dice to Stanley.
Now, let’s just hope that we don’t get seven, because right there in that spot is singlehandedly the worst possible place to land.
…And the dice lands on seven.
That was intentional and I know it.
L
Anyways the tile that Stanley’s piece lands on is ‘go back to start and skip your next roll’. Harsh. Stanley reluctantly obliges the instructions before silently handing the dice to Kris, who rolls them immediately and gets a twelve, which places their piece on ‘Move forward eight spaces’. The tile that is landed on then is a completely normal tile, but places them five spaces away from the finish.
N: “Woah!”
Flowey: “This is just unfair!”
Wheatley: “It’s a game of chance, Flowey, don’t go too hard on it!”
Flowey: “I will go as hard on it as I want to!”
Flowey tries flipping the board, but is subdued by Wheatley rolling over - and therefore, accidentally crushing - the flower.
Flowey: “Shit.”
Wheatley: “...That wasn’t intentional, folks!”
Cut to Warrior knocking on Charles’ door. The stickman takes a while to answer and open the door.
Charles: “Hey Warrior! What’s up?”
Warrior: “Just got a bit of a question to ask, mind if I come in though, buddy?”
Charles: “Don’t mind at all! Just, be careful where you’re walking.”
Charles lets Warrior into the room, where everything has been rearranged to allow Charles’ helicopter to stand at the back of the room. Also the back wall DOESN’T EXIST ANYMORE???
Warrior: “Oh, yeah, I can see why I’d need to be careful! The entire back wall’s gone!”
Charles: “Couldn’t find an easier way to get my helicopter in here, heh.”
Warrior: “What’s it doing in here anyways?”
Charles: “I was working on some repairs to it that it didn’t magically regain like normal. Plus, I had to fix the external controls… Not a fun experience, lemme tell you that.”
Charles: “Enough chit-chat, though, what’s up Warrior?”
Warrior: “Alrighty, so… y’know the team with Lamb on it, right?”
Charles is silent for a moment.
Charles: “Warrior, I can already tell you’re trying to ask me to join, Enderman told me about you hanging out with them in a meeting a while ago.”
Warrior goes blank-faced.
Warrior: “Oh. Darn.”
Warrior: “Well, there’s one other thing I have to ask! So, Lamb himself’s got his own little thingie-”
Charles: “Please don’t tell me you’re a part of it.”
Warrior: “...”
Charles: “And you want me to join too, right?”
Warrior: “...yea”
Charles sighs.
Charles: “Alright, fine, but if Lamb does any freaky things I’m outta there pronto.”
Warrior gives a thumbs up.
Warrior: “Nice! Now, I’m gonna go wait outside for the challenge to start. See ya there!”
Warrior heads out of the room.
Cut to the waiting room for the elimination area. RCoKJ has been waiting around for a while.
Rocket: “I’m bored! When is Mr. Host Guy going to come and get us!”
Koe peeks into the waiting room.
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “My name’s not Mr. Host Guy.”
Koe then fully opens the door.
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “But, it is time now! So y’all can get your butts in there so we can do the elimination!”
Spider-Ham: “Comedic timing. Great!”
The team enters the elimination room, as per usual. Koe generates the holographic bar graph once again.
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “Welcome, Royal Circle of King Julien! You lot are the last team to go up for elimination, which is a pretty neat feat, but your loss shines through regardless. Onto stuff that doesn’t sound like I ate a thesaurus for breakfast, we got twenty seven votes! Sadly less than last time, but I won’t say more considering last season had a bad record of votes whenever they’re mocked for being low.”
The team sits down in anticipation, except for Lamb, who looks uncaring.
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “First off, for our spin votes, Glendale is the only person to not receive any votes.”
Glendale: “Ohhhh, that’s not good at all, wow…”
King Julien: “Perhaps you have just flown under the radar?”
King Julien shrugs.
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “Next to not spin is Donkey with a singular vote!”
Donkey: “Hey, might not be the best, but one vote is one vote and I’ll take it!”
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “He didn’t receive any vote reasons, so we’re onto the next person that didn’t receive enough votes, which is Spider-Ham with just two!”
Spider-Ham: “Aw, dagnabbit!”
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “For Spider-Ham’s first reason, we have ‘pretty delifo’.”
Spider-Ham: “What in tarnation is that meant to mean?”
Koe shrugs.
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “Second is ‘Lumina: He did the absolute best of the entire team, don't think much explaining Is needed.’.”
Spider-Ham: “Ay, thanks!”
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “Now, onto the next person, Ploque only received three.”
Ploque gives a subtle sigh.
Ploque: “I really am not surprised, I’ll be honest…”
Rocket: “Hey, ya shouldn’t talk down on yourself, Ploque!”
Ploque: “...Sorry, I guess?”
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “The first reason given for Ploque is ‘I love Points of Conflict! Just chillin' even with all the chaos earns some great respect too. Slight bias because I LOVE Wooden Workshop, it was the first time I heard Kubbi's Up In My Jam (All of a Sudden) which is one of my favorite songs.’.”
Ploque immediately brightens up upon hearing the name of the song.
Ploque: “Oh, I love that song too!”
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “The second and final one received is ‘Despite the fact that he is the only person who I have never heard of at all he is my favorite character on this team
(Also I wanted to explain why we know who everyone is and that is because from us the voters are from is a world that you and everyone else exists in as books, games and/or movies and tv shows but you probably don’t need to worry that you’re worlds aren’t real because in all likelihood our world probably just has perfect representation of yours and that those things aren’t really your world just perfect windows into them.)
[But who knows maybe you aren’t really real and nothing you do matters, do whatever you want with this information.]’.”
Donkey: “Wow, that turned dark!”
Spider-Ham: “I do not want to think about possibly being not real, no thank you!”
Ploque would blink in confusion if she had eyes.
Ploque: “That was…”
Ploque: “Uh.”
Ploque: “Well then.”
Ploque goes silent for a moment.
Ploque: “...It’s she, by the way.”
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “Alright, let’s get that potential existential crisis out of the way, and get to what’s next - the next person to not spin! Said person is Carl, only receiving four votes.”
Ploque sighs in relief that Carl didn’t end up getting to spin the wheel.
Carl: “What a tragedy.”
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “First reason is sure to frighten some of you - ‘I would like to inform the entirety of the team Carl’s history of violence includes a dimension of baby hands. And also setting off what I believe was a nuke and then cooking faces (much to poor Paul the other llama which. We love Paul we love him) and the only standard I believe this man has is that he doesn’t like raw faces.
-paleskowitz’.”
Glendale: “That’s a lot, I’m scared now…”
Carl: “I didn’t do any of that! Definitely! I am a very trustworthy individual.”
Ploque gives a glance to Carl.
Ploque: “I highly doubt that.”
Carl: “...”
Carl: “Okay maybe I did set off a nuke. And I may have also destroyed the South American government.”
Ploque: “Why’d you annihilate an entire government???”
Carl: “The people declared to overthrow it. Viva la resistance.”
Ploque: “That is not a just reason at all.”
Carl: “It is if you believe in it.”
Ploque: “Well I don’t believe in it!”
Carl: “Sucks to suck, then. Sorry.”
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “...”
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “well then.”
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “Next reason is ‘CaAAAAaAAaaAAaaaAaaAaaaAAaaAAaaaAAaaAaAAAAAAARL!’.”
Carl: “Ah, sounds just like Paul.”
Rocket: “Who is Paul, though?”
Carl: “My friend.”
Ploque: “You have friends???”
Carl: “Yes, I am a social person.”
Ploque: “Seriously doubted that with the whole nuke thing but. Okay. Then. Cool.”
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “Finally, we have ‘The end of Llamas with Hats made me feel an intense sadness I didn't even know I could feel. -Tayoga’.”
Ploque: “I, myself, am sad because this guy exists.”
Carl: “Hey, uncalled for! Now we’re both in the wrong!”
Ploque: “That’s not even justifiably at the same level what do you mean- ”
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “Okay, shush, you two. Time for the final three! King Julien, Lamb, and Rocket!”
King Julien looks excited, Lamb gives a nondescript expression, and Rocket is giddy with excitement.
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “Two of you received five votes, while the other earned seven. To begin the vote reasons, we’ll start with King Julien - ‘bEcausE ALL HAIL KING JULIEN WOOOOOO hopE you do wEll my king’.”
King Julien: “To hear the voters themselves praise my glorious kingdom is great news!”
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “Next is ‘It all belongs to the other side...

WE LIVE 🌱🌳
WE LOVE 👨❤️💋👨💕
WE LIE 🗣️🗣️🗣️🔥🔥🔥
tôi vừa mới nhận ra rằng tôi có thể thích nói gì tùy ý ở đây vì MC đéo hiểu tiếng Việt. thế thì tôi ship gấu khoa học với ống nghiệm đây. xanh da trời mà cố thì chắc còn cái nịt’. …I’m not sure I want to ask what that was.”
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “The third reason is ‘i am mort.’.”
King Julien: “Mort’s a voter? Well, greetings, then!”
Glendale: “Who’s that?”
King Julien: “One of my closest friends from back home! Miss him.”
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “Next is ‘Feeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeet (Also, do you remember that one time King Julien thought Mort was his son? I do) - ADAGE’.”
King Julien: “I do not miss the feet part, however.”
Ploque: “I don’t think I want to know what the ‘feet part’ is.”
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “Last is ‘Do you still like to move it move it!?
Tiiiiiiiissssss I the lore guy i am here to give either lore or fun facts about some of you
Fun fact: Donkey fucked a dragon and has children with said dragon.’. That is definitely the lore ever.”
King Julien: “I will choose to ignore that last part and instead confirm that yes, I still like to move it move it!”
Ploque: “I’m also going to push off that part about Donkey and ask, what is a ‘move it move it’?”
King Julien promptly starts dancing while singing. Ploque just stares confused while Glendale, Rocket, and Spider-Ham all clap. Lamb speaks up for the first time since the elimination started.
Lamb: “This is an elimination, not a club. Let’s focus.”
King Julien: “Yes, right, apologies!”
King Julien stops and returns to sitting in his seat.
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “Thanks for that, Lamb. Coincidentally, it is now time for your vote reasons, starting with ‘lambs cult in lambs world seems like a nice place to live actually aside from the occasional sacrifice or two (yes i am a big fan of cult of the lamb)
i am already religious BUT if you need a representative im your guy :)’.”
Rocket: “Sacrifice???”
Lamb: “You missed when I had joined this team. I explicitly mentioned sacrifices there. Do not be too surprised.”
Ploque: “I expected that to be more of a Carl vote reason than yours but… guess I have two people to fear now! Hooray!”
Donkey: “Why would you say hooray about fearing people?”
Ploque: “Sarcasm, Donkey. Sarcasm.”
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “Next is ‘you know what sure let's make him even more overpowered’.”
Lamb: “I wouldn’t call myself overpowered. Bill easily overpowers my abilities, as much as I hate to say it. If you wanted to make anyone overpowered, it would be him.”
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “Third is ‘Arguably the most important character in the competition as of right now. Even excluding that, he's pretty well-written.’.”
Glendale: “Well-written?”
Lamb: “Don’t worry too much about it.”
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “Fourth is ‘familiarity bias’.”
Lamb: “Expected.”
King Julien: “I must say, you seem to be keeping extremely calm right now!”
Lamb: “Even if I didn’t have my current reasons for doing so I would keep calm. I don’t care much about this opportunity. Learning about the true elimination is more of my concern.”
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “The fifth and final reason is ‘no comment’.”
Lamb: “If you do not have a comment, there is the option to not put anything, you know.”
Spider-Ham: “ Yeesh , passive-aggressive much?”
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “Now, onto the last one of the final three for spinning, Rocket-”
Rocket: “Woo!”
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “-we start with ‘rocket is silly. i love rocket. hes just. a silly lil phighter. by the way, a message to rocket himself; hows zuka and sword doing?? as i write this, its the broker’s birthday. what do you think about that information.
-zapper’.”
Rocket: “First question, I dunno about right now since it’s been a while since I was home and I don’t know how long we’ve been here, but last time I saw them they were good! Second one…”
Rocket gives a small frown.
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “Second reason is ‘roblos.
+ i'm prolly gonna try to play phighting sometime soon so yeah
meta question rq: is there vr support for the game?
also what the FUCK- the absolute solver got N???? someone get Tessa here or something dear god
- Ember Nyxtical (EmberTheAlphaWolf)’.”
META QUESTION ANSWER - i do NOT know sorry. Spontaneously combusts
Rocket: “Yeah, you should phight! It’s really fun!”
King Julien: “What is this ‘phight’ thing-”
Ploque shushes King Julien.
Ploque: “Ask that later because you are going to get the biggest infodump of your life if you ask now.”
Ploque: “...Not that that’s bad but we will spend an extra two hours here if you ask right now.”
King Julien: “Got it!”
Glendale: “Is- is nobody going to mention the ‘absolute solver’ part?”
Lamb: “That’s the thing that was taking over N last challenge, though only I actually noticed. Remember this card I played in the game?”
Lamb holds up the Solver card he had played in the card game during the last challenge.
Lamb: “This symbol represents the AbsoluteSolver. It’s a virus that infects a certain few of his species. It’s also hidden within the code of Disassembly Drones such as him, and I suppose the arena challenge must have exposed him to a force that allowed the virus to overwrite administrative protections at some point before the stacking challenge.”
Glendale: “Ohhh.”
Donkey: “How’d you learn all that junk about him?”
Lamb: “...”
Lamb: “A magician never reveals their tricks, they say.”
Ploque: “I’m very suspicious of you now.”
Lamb gives no response.
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “Next up is ‘Rocket, you may be the odd one out, but prosthetic boy should stay a little longer. He adds a little more fun if you know what I mean. Imagine if a search party in the crossroads was started because you may or may have not missed atleast 14 phights by now. By the looks of it SWORD seems to be getting a little more desperate…. Anyways have a nice day Rocket ;) -Kairos’.”
Rocket: “Fourteen?! Oh no that’s not good!”
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “The next vote reason is ‘I LOVE ROCKET THEY ARE MY SILLY GOOBER AND I LOVE THEM SOOOOOOO SOSOOSOSOSO MUCH!!!!!’.”
The goober :)
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “Last is ‘i love phighting (the game and the universe that rocket comes from) (im currently not in the mood for a silly rant or comment sorry) -the goober’.”
Koe gives a phumbs up (ba dum tss) in response to the last part in understanding.
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “And now, to reveal who gets to spin the wheel…”
Drumroll, and…
King Julien got five votes.
Lamb got five votes.
Rocket got seven.
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “Rocket gets to spin the wheel with the seven votes! Sorry, other two.”
Rocket: “Let’s go! Woo! Yay!”
Rocket leaps out of his seat happily.
King Julien: “Unfortunate for me, but I’m not complaining when I got in second! That’s good enough for a ruler like me to earn.”
Lamb gives no reaction.
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “Now, Rocket, since we have no more vote reasons to go over, you can go ahead and spin the Incredible Wheel of Luck right now!”
Rocket heads over to the wheel and spins it, landing on…
‘Cookbook’
Koe hands Rocket a cookbook.
Rocket: “A cookbook?”
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “It’ll be handy for the next challenge.”
Rocket: “Ohhhh, okay!”
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “With that done, it’s time to get to the actual elimination part.”
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “Let’s start with those with one vote, since everyone got at least one - Rocket and Spider-Ham are those two!”
Koe tosses stop signs at Rocket and Spider-Ham. Rocket narrowly avoids the sign thrown at him, while Spider-Ham uses his spider senses to catch the sign while it’s flying towards him.
Rocket: “Hey, what was that for???”
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “It’s the prize for being safe.”
Spider-Ham: “I wouldn’t consider this a prize, y’know, more of a punishment if you aren’t alert enough.”
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “ok and?”
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “Rocket’s sole reason received was… ‘hot cockit.’. …Sure.”
Rocket: “What?”
Koe shrugs.
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “Spider-Ham’s vote reason was ‘un a team with so many unappealing designs you might be the worst’. Damn, roasting everyone here.”
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “Next safe is Ploque with just two votes!”
Koe throws a stop sign at Ploque, who cuts it in half just before it slaps her in the face.
Ploque: “Maybe just hand them to us instead of flinging them at high speeds!?”
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “Mmmm… don’t feel like it.”
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “For Ploque’s vote reasons, the first one was ‘This is going to bE a hard choicE but I'm choosing to votE ploquE sorry dudE but your the lEast intErEsting hErE no offEnsE,hopE your doing wEll at lEast 😕’.”
Ploque: “...No offense taken.”
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “The other reason is ‘Bro didn't even WANT to be here, let him free-’.”
Ploque: “Most of us want nothing more than to leave, yeah, but I’d rather be here then in wherever Koe sends us when we’re out.”
Ploque: “Also. She. Again.”
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “The next three safe are Carl, Donkey, and King Julien.”
Koe juggles stop signs before flinging them at high speeds at the three. Carl eats the one thrown at him somehow while Donkey and King Julien are both smacked in the face and thrown across the room.
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “...Woops.”
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “While those two get back over here, I’ll read out Carl’s vote reasons, starting with ‘If Carl is gone, Ploque and Rocket can be happier (also that hat is ugly) - ADAGE’.”
Ploque: “What a shame we live in a world where that didn’t happen.”
Carl: “Aw, that’s not how you treat your friend!”
Ploque: “We are not friends. Quite the opposite, actually. You’re literally a self-diagnosed sociopath.”
Carl: “Mm, yeah, true.”
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “Second is ‘Really unnerving
Tiiiiiiiissssss I the lore guy heres today's fun fact:
Praise the Lamb, conduit to great power, promised liberator of the One that Waits below.
Yet sacrificial beast take heed for a crown cannot sit upon two brows’.”
Spider-Ham: “What’s that meant to mean?”
Donkey returns to his seat, followed shortly by King Julien.
Donkey: “Sounds like a bunch of hogwash, in my opinion, y’know!”
Lamb gives a monotonous look at Donkey, who nervously sweats.
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “Lastly, we have ‘we have two sheep like animals on the same team this is not acceptable’. I mean, a llama isn’t that similar to a sheep but okay then.”
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “Now, to Donkey - we first have ‘He a stinky poo poo’.”
Donkey: “Oh, my feelings! Ow!”
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “Next is ‘Eh, he is, and always has been, a comic relief character, which I don't really like (Just against the trope, not him in general) plus I didn't know who else to vote. -Tayoga’.”
Donkey: “Alright, that one, I can’t blame ya much!”
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “And lastly, we have ‘Picking who to eliminate is a mere matter of process of elimination, since there's no real opinions to be made on pretty much anyone on the team:
King Julien leads the team, and Glendale acts as the second in command, so they're safe.
Lamb is one of the pivotal characters of the current main storyline, so he's safe.
Ploque and Rocket have their 'outlier' arc, so they're safe.
That leaves Carl, Donkey, and Spider-Ham. Carl has had some good comedy moments, so he's safe. Spider-Ham... he may not do much, but at least he's a more serious character than Donkey is. Therefore, Donkey's the best choice for eliminating.’.”
Ploque: “I wouldn’t call Carl’s horrific misdeeds comedy moments. More like what the frick moments.”
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “Now, onto King Julien’s vote reasons, one is ‘his show was straight garbage’.”
King Julien: “If I had a show it would be the best show, thank you very much!”
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “The other reason he received is ‘i just think it would be funny if the team just didn't have its namesake player anymore’. Heh, yeah, would be pretty funny.”
King Julien: “Not to me!”
Glendale: “Not to any of us, either.”
Spider-Ham: “Eh, I wouldn’t be too sure on that, unfortunately…”
Spider-Ham takes a glance at Ploque and Rocket.
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “Now! Onto the final two! Glendale and Lamb!”
Spotlights shine on the two. Glendale is clearly anxious, while Lamb gives no expression.
Glendale: “Oh, this is too scary! I can’t handle it!”
Lamb: “I could care less about this. Let’s just get it over with.”
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “One of you got six votes, and the other got eight. For the vote reasons you guys got, we’ll start with Glendale’s - ‘glendale im so sorry but youre the only one i dont know much abt but youre still really cool though’.”
Glendale: “W-well, I can’t really blame you for that, I guess…”
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “Next is ‘Glendale hasn't really been a presence at all, to be honest. Carl and Lamb are up to some antics but they're great to watch and have an impact; I feel like the team would be about the same without Glendale.’.”
King Julien: “Now that? That’s just untruthful. She makes an impact!”
Donkey: “...Sometimes I forget she exists.”
King Julien: “That’s not helping, Donkey.”
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “Third is ‘Shade: Honestly the team did really well, just got bad luck in the end, so again, I hose randomly, sorry.’.”
Glendale: “Hose?”
Lamb: “That’s clearly a typo.”
Glendale: “...Oh, okay, that makes sense!”
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “Next we have… uh… ‘honestly i have no idea who any of these characters are-- and why 2763 floors? very simple!! so you see....uh i actually don't know. i'm gonna go search that up. 2,763 is a recurring number in the Battle for Dream Island series, most commonly used as the number of miles from the Plains to Yoyleland. In metric units, this distance translates to approximately 4,446.6 km. Michael says that the number 2,763 refers to the number of offspring in each generation in the Huang family,[1] but was later revealed as a troll by Michael.[citation needed] that....explains nothing for me. and the reverse psychology? i'll have you know that i DO have basic survival skills thanks very much >:( and UH OH MY REASONS ARE BECOMING SHORTER QUICK ZEE DO SOMETHING!!! Profily is mainly calm, kind, and easily excitable. They are also very skilled, as they were able to complete every contest Four gave them faster than any other contestant. They desire feeling included, due to allegedly being apart of the show since the beginning and being neglected since no one remembered them. They are also shown to be thoughtful and empathetic as they felt that Four became the desert due to feeling unwanted and ignored, which is how they felt for a long time. LOOKIE HERE ITS PROFILY BFB!!! AHAHAH (plz laugh) UMMMM This is my final goodbye to the Literature Club.
I finally understand. The Literature Club is truly a place where no happiness can be found. To the very end, it continued to expose innocent minds to a horrific reality - a reality that our world is not designed to comprehend. I can't let any of my friends undergo that same hellish epiphany.
For the time it lasted, I want to thank you. For making all my dreams come true. For being a friend to all my club members.
And most of all, thank you for being part of my Literature Club!
With everlasting love,
Monika
LOOK ITS THE END OF DDLC AHAHAHHAHA this is too long. - starry (who's unfortunately alive and well)’. Not sure what the hell happened at the end but… okay…”
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “...Let’s just get to the final reason for Glendale. ‘pretty lame’. …Y’know maybe I should’ve read the wall of text as the last one.”
Glendale: “Am I really that lame?”
Spider-Ham: “Hey, don’t beat yourself up over some simple votes! In the end, you just gotta, I dunno, follow your heart or something? I’m a slapstick pig, not a consoling pig, that’s just my opinion though.”
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “Okay, enough feels, time for Lamb’s vote reasons. First one is ‘get sent to the void lambert!!’.”
Lamb: “As if.”
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “Second is ‘Honestly, once he gets his pseudo-cult together, he could be just as dangerous as AbsoluteSolver, and I'm not going to take that chance.’.”
King Julien: “Pseudo-cult?”
Lamb shrugs in order to feign innocence.
Lamb: “As for being stronger than that virus, I highly doubt it if the Solver was able to take down the biggest threat in this competition with relative ease. Not even I could do that, no matter what abilities I inherited.”
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “Next is ‘Jesus Christ first you topple over 5 gods, and here you are trying to take over this competition. Nuh uh, I send thee back to their actually damned world. -Kairos ps. Your followers are starving ;-;’.”
Rocket: “Woah, you’ve killed gods?”
Lamb: “They were nothing like the likes of Bill or Hyehehe, but yes, they were gods, and I did kill them. As for ‘taking over the competition’, I’m only ensuring I get first place in it. Lastly, don’t think your vote will send me back. Know better than to try to eliminate me next time.”
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “The fourth reason is ‘lamb you're really fucking freaky, im also not very familiar with you, also STOP FUCKING MIND CONTROLLING PLASMA BALL OH MY FUCKING GOD I WANNA SLAUGHTER YOU >:(
- Ember Nyxtical (EmberTheAlphaWolf)
(also. i omor)’.”
Lamb sighs at the mention of Plasma Ball.
Lamb: “It is a simple curse of increased agreeability. Not mind control.”
Glendale: “You sound like you had to explain that before…”
Lamb: “A member of another team which I will not tell the identity of was led to believe in rumors of me doing such things to Plasma Ball. I don’t appreciate the public outings these voters are trying to perform.”
Ploque: “And you’re being completely truthful? I’m not sure how much I really can trust yo-”
Lamb shoots a glare at Ploque, causing the point to shush herself as to not draw Lamb’s fury.
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “Lastly, we have… the half-reason half-advertisement again. I’ll split it in half again, let’s get the actual reason chunk out of the way. ‘HAH! I KNEW IT! THAT """BILL CIPHER""" AIN'T THE REAL THING THAT'S JUST THE DOLLAR STORE VERSION HAHAHA (yes that was a twsgs referenc please laugh)
oof, ok I'm still wheezing right now. anyway time for the sus detections because there is now actually a reason to do so without the Donald Trump-esque Hyehehe there to help me make easy decisions.
Carl: the entire time I thought he was Carl Wheezer from Jimmy Neutron... yeah also he needs to pay attention to cultural differences and basically refrain on consuming human organs in public. (it's like how you wouldn't eat calamari in front of Inklings, you see.) kinda sus btw it's just because of his manners.
Donkey: this right here is an actual gigachad... look at the way he just gets rid of his enemies...... (not sus)
also side note but you know how people slay dragons, tame dragons, etc? Donkey right here has <i>copulated</i> with one. that's gotta be a testament to his chadness.
Glendale: feels rather naive, really - he immediately joined King Julien's kingdom with only the slightest hint of doubt. not much else to consider, so I'd say he's not sus.
King Julien: his whole kingdom shtick is a little bit suspicious, but it's funny enough that it doesn't matter. all and all I think he is rather goofy and isn't sus.
Lamb: he seems hell-bent on brainwashing people. pretty much his only defining trait really. sus.
Ploque: a reasonable person honestly, which is a feat considering like half of everyone here. I suppose perhaps she ain't sus.
Rocket: I can sympathise with him on these attempts to cheer Ploque up - after all, social support for others is always a good thing. anyway he remains reasonable just like Ploque so I say he ain't sus neither
Spider-Ham: <del>hamNcheese95 reference</del> ngl his insane dedication to the task at hand is really funny. for that reason only I'm gonna say he's not sus lol’. I will add, this is indeed the Bill, but slightly nerfed so as to not have him just absolutely demolish anything and everything. I do care about the watchability of my show and having him go on a chaotic, unstoppable rampage constantly won’t do well for ratings.”
Carl: “Stop eating human organs in public? Whatever do you mean? I don’t do that. I’m a good person.”
…He says this while holding a coffee cup filled with blood. That is probably human blood. With meat chunks in there…
Ploque: “Are you just going to deny everything?”
Carl: “If you deny everything you can never be prosecuted.”
Ploque: “Knowing you, you’d just eat the prosecutor or something anyways…”
Lamb gives an unamused expression towards once again being declared a brainwasher. Which… well, he IS one, but he obviously doesn’t want people to know that. So.
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “And for the ad part, just bear with me regarding this - ‘also, no, Charles, I did not have sleep deprivation. in fact my sleep schedule has been better than ever before. it is only with such a healthy sleeping habit that I am able to make such detections you see. how do I maintain them? by cooperating with EoD, our proud sponsor for this sus detection, of course!

King Julien: “May I ask, what does any of that mean?”
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “It is nothing you guys would understand, it’s purely for other viewers.”
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “With that out of the way, it’s time to reveal the first person voted out from your team!”
A drumroll begins, as Glendale looks increasingly nervous and Lamb gives an uninterested expression…
Lamb only has six votes.
Glendale has eight.
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “And Glendale is out with eight!”
Koe throws a stop sign at Lamb, who catches it and plants it in the ground.
Glendale: “Oh, I should’ve known this would happen…”
King Julien: “Don’t put yourself down too much, Glendale, I gotta say that you did do a pretty darn good job while you were in the game!”
Glendale: “But who’s going to take my place as second in command now?”
King Julien: “Do not worry, I will figure that out. For now, I suppose it’s best that you embrace your fate.”
Glendale gives a frown, before turning to Koe.
Glendale: “Alright, I= I guess I’m ready. Eliminate me however you plan on doing it…”
Koe pulls out the THoE.
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “Alright, bye-bye!”
The THoE showers Glendale in a large beam of light, sending her into the orb.
Rocket: “Where’d she go?!”
Donkey: “She’s just gone!”
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “Don’t worry, it’s basically stasis in a sphere! Nothing bad will happen to her in there, trust me. Now, out to the challenge!”
Koe walks out of the room, and the rest of RCoKJ follows. Ploque is the last one to leave, but right before she does, King Julien stops her.
Ploque: “What is it?”
King Julien: “You see, I have an important thing to tell you!”
Ploque: “Which is?...”
King Julien: “Due to Glendale no longer being in the competition, I’ve decided you will become the second in command!”
Ploque stares at King Julien for a moment.
Ploque: “...What.”
King Julien: “You’re easily the most trustworthy and reliable out of everyone - not to insult their honesty and intelligence, of course! - so I decided you would fit the bill the best.”
Ploque: “...”
Ploque: “Sure… I guess?”
King Julien: “Great!”
King Julien follows the team nonchalantly, leaving Ploque to think about what just happened for a few moments before she realizes that she’s. Kinda just standing. And then she follows the rest of the team outside…
Cut to outside, where everyone is standing around and waiting as per usual. Koe fades into existence in front of the group.
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “Alright, everybody, it’s time for the seventh challenge! This time, we’re going to have some special guests help out!”
Koe snaps, and three people appear next to him - a profile picture, a point with a curved line for a symbol, and a red square with more squares behind them.
Profily: “Yay! We’re here!”
Ixol takes a bite out of the poptart he’s holding.
Ixol: “I’m only here because there’s going to be food.”
Nanobot buzzes in agreement with Ixol’s reasons.
Profily: “Aw, but what about helping our buddy-friendo Koe?”
Ixol: “I’ve done enough favors for him as is.”
Nanobot says something along the lines of ‘i could care less, ngl’. In synth saw form, of course, this is Nanobot we’re talking about.
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “Yes, these three will play a part in your challenge. Your challenge this time around is a cooking challenge, where you will have two hours to cook something for all of us to try. Each team will be split up into two groups, and each group will receive a score out of fourty, so in total each team will have a score out of eighty. Whichever team has the lowest total score will go up for elimination!”
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “As for the groups, you’ll learn those once we teleport you into the rooms you’ll be cooking in. One last note, you are not allowed to leave the room in any way, shape, or form, until the two hours are up. With that said, we’ll begin now!”
Koe snaps, teleporting the teams into their separate rooms.
Cut to the first room, with Blocky, Red, and Squid. Red silently curses to himself as he’s stuck with probably the worst two people on his team - in his opinion.
Blocky: “Alright, guys, I could really care less about what we do for the food because I have my own plan.”
Squid: “And what is this ‘plan’ you mention?”
Blocky: “Rig NNIT’s food before they give it to the judges so that it blows up in their faces! That way, they’ll get a terrible score and will go up for elimination! Plus, it’s a pretty funny prank.”
Red: “That seems a bit violen-”
Squid: “I can see that working. However, we still need to cook something so as to not potentially fail ourselves in the circumstance that we’re unable to carry out the rigging of their cuisine.”
Blocky: “I’ve got just the thing for that!”
Suddenly, the scene changes to a Yellow Face ad.
Yellow Face: “Ever need to make some food quick but want to put in as little effort as possible? Good news! For only $2.99, you can buy Yellow Face brand mac and cheese! Just put it in a bowl, stick it in the microwave, and you’ve got some good food in mere seconds, no added steps required! And we have a special deal, buy two and you’ll get an extra one free!-”
The ad cuts out as Yellow Face is in the room, with the three BFDI members looking at him in confusion.
Squid: “Did we seriously just condone unwarranted product placement.”
Red: “How’d that guy even get in here?”
Yellow Face: “Uhhhhhh… I don’t know either.”
Blocky: “Eh, whatever, we’ll buy a box of macaroni.”
Blocky hands some money to Yellow Face.
Yellow Face: “Yay!”
Yellow Face gives a box of mac and cheese to Blocky and then vanishes.
Red: “I’m… going to pretend that never happened.”
Squid: “Same.”
Blocky: “We’ve got our food, now let’s get cooking!”
Blocky opens the box, pours its contents into a bowl, and places the bowl in the microwave for five seconds. The mac and cheese immediately cooks, with the cheese also somehow appearing.
Blocky: “Easy!”
Squid: “And now, we do absolutely nothing for two hours.”
Blocky: “Psh, we can think of something to do!”
Blocky motions to Red, who mentally grimaces.
Red: “Oh no…”
Cut to the other three members of BFDI, where Nikoly is opening up a medkit.
Nikoly: “Meal :)”
Sundew: “That’s not a meal. It’s not even edible .”
Tree-y: “♪ maybe its good to try or maybe when eaten youll die ♪”
Sundew: “Not reassuring at all.”
Nikoly: “Hey, nothing bad can happen! Trust me, that’s what the script says.”
Sundew: “The what?”
Nikoly: “What’s the what?”
Sundew: “I-”
Sundew groans irritatedly.
Sundew: “Whatever. We’re not using a medkit as our food. Let’s make something that people can actually eat.”
Silence.
Tree-y: “♪ i am a tree-”
Sundew: “No. We don’t have time for your singing.”
Tree-y: “aw.”
Sundew: “Let me do this.”
Sundew opens up a cupboard and gets some ingredients.
Nikoly: “Oh, I didn’t know those were there. And that they had stuff in them.”
Tree-y: “♪ i agree with him my eyes are dim ♪”
Sundew: “I’d take any of the other three members of this team over you two in a heartbeat.”
Nikoly: “Espacios don’t have hearts.”
Nikoly eats the medkit.
Sundew: “...”
Sundew: “Sometimes I question why I put up with you people.”
Nikoly: “Because we’re friends!”
Tree-y: “♪ yes we are friends to the bitter end ♪”
Sundew: “I disagree with that, but whatever. I don’t care anymore. Let’s just get to cooking.”
Cut to the first group of IDIOT, consisting of Charles, Charlie the Unicorn, Enderman, and Science Bear.
Science Bear: “Does anyone here know how to cook? It’s definitely not my forte, but I don’t know about you three.”
Enderman shakes their head no.
Charles: “I mean, I only have this one recipe for banana bread my friends showed me-”
Charlie the Unicorn: “No.”
Charlie suddenly interrupting Charles makes the stickman turn towards him in confusion.
Charles: “What’s wrong with it?”
Science Bear: “If it’s about the food in specific, I may remind you that we aren’t the ones who will be eating it.”
Charlie the Unicorn: “I know that, I’m not an idiot. But bananas… I have bad memories relating to them.”
Charles: “...What did bananas do to you?”
Charlie the Unicorn: “It’s a long story, but I lost my sanity for a moment, and also I got robbed.”
Science Bear: “...I see.”
Charles: “That’s pretty depressing.”
Enderman nods in agreement.
Charlie the Unicorn: “Eh, I’ve gotten used to it. Though a lot of things now remind me of those two… eugh. I’ve become distasteful towards a lot of objects and animals nowadays because of the chaos.”
Science Bear: “Would you mind telling us what affects you so that we don’t accidentally trigger anything?”
Charlie the Unicorn: “Off the top of my head… candy, caves, amulets, the letter Z, bananas as I said before, snowmen, tongues, doors, sea animals in general, goats, the moon, space, millipedes, bombs, and songs .”
Science Bear writes all of this down.
Science Bear: “That’s quite a lot.”
Charlie the Unicorn: “When you have to deal with what is practically the living equivalent of the devil forcing you into organ-stealing nonsense, anything can become a terrible reminder. I’m just glad I’m without them… for the most part. There was last time when they came in out of nowhere, but thankfully I haven’t seen them since.”
Charlie the Unicorn: “Enough about my troubles, though, we actually need to cook.”
Charlie the Unicorn: “...Also, I can’t cook.”
Science Bear: “Well, I suppose we’ll have to make something original. Shouldn’t be too hard.”
Charles: “Yeah, let’s do this!”
Enderman opens up the cupboards and grabs ingredients and a pot.
Science Bear: “Stew? That could work well, it doesn’t take too much effort.”
Charlie the Unicorn: “I can live with that.”
Cut to the other three members of IDIOT - Blue, Test Tube, and Warrior - in their room.
Warrior: “Uh, do you two know how to cook? I almost burnt my house down last time I tried, heh heh…”
Test Tube: “Well, I couldn’t cook if my life depended on it- but Blue can!”
Test Tube motions to Blue, who nods in confirmation.
Warrior: “Sick! Make some food for us then, man!”
Blue gives a thumbs up before quickly grabbing a bunch of ingredients and equipment and multitasking in making multiple meals at once.
Warrior: “Wow, that’s impressive!”
Test Tube: “He has told me before he’s an experienced chef, and I trust him as well!”
If Blue had a mouth, they would have smiled in response to the compliment. He quickly finishes the food with no imperfections - a pizza, turkey, stack of pancakes, and literally just a grilled cheese.
Warrior: “Woo!! You did it!! This looks so good!!”
Warrior: “...But I can’t eat it, aw.”
Blue silently chuckles before telling Warrior that he’ll make some food after the challenge for the entire team.
Warrior: “Let’s go!!!”
Cut to group one of CF, consisting of Amelia, N, Stanley, and Wheatley.
…and me, as well.
…Yes, and Narrator. Can’t forget him… I guess.
Well, that’s frankly just rude. But I guess there’s nothing I can do about it.
Okay that aside let’s get to the actual stuff- already it looks to be going… well, it’s not bad, I guess, but it’s definitely not good either.
Amelia: “N, you… shouldn’t be putting so much sugar…”
N: “The more the merrier, probably! I can’t eat this so I wouldn’t actually know, but I’m sure it’ll be fine .”
Wheatley: “But if you put too much it may turn, I dunno, fatal or something!”
Amelia: “Well… right now it’s only enough to… induce a major sugar rush…”
N: “That doesn’t sound too bad!”
Amelia, Stanley, and Wheatley all look at N.
Amelia: “N…”
Wheatley: “A sugar rush is one of the top ten worst things that can happen to you, at least that’s what this Buzzfeed article says, because you go hyperactive for a while and then it’s like you ate hundreds of sleeping pills without the overdose part!”
N: “Oh, that’s not good.”
N stops pouring sugar into the bowl.
N: “Well, what do we do with the excess?”
Hope that we don’t give Koe a coma because jesus christ, N, that’s a lot of sugar.
Amelia: “I guess we… just deal with it…”
N: “Alrighty! What’s next, then?”
Wheatley: “I think you put in some egg yolks and flour.”
N puts whole ass eggs in the bowl, and then puts in an actually acceptable amount of flour.
N: “Done!”
I feel sorry for the people that have to eat this cake.
Amelia: “...Those are just whole eggs, not the yolks…”
N: “Oh, oops!”
N picks up the eggs from the mix and crushes them, letting the yolks and some shell pieces fall into the bowl.
N: “Boom, fixed.”
I don’t think we should ever let N cook again.
Stanley nods in agreement as N continues absolutely butchering the instructions.
Cut to the other members of IDIOT - Flowey, Kris, and Pizza Steve - contemplating what to make.
Pizza Steve: “Well, dudes, maybe we could just put something in the microwave. …I dunno how many points we’d get for that, though.”
Flowey: “Let’s just mix random shit together and call that a meal!”
Kris violently shakes their head no at Flowey’s idea, before writing ‘that is even worse than pizza steve’s idea’.
Flowey: “Well, why don’t you take a crack at it, kid?”
Kris thinks for a moment, before having an idea… They point at Pizza Steve.
Flowey: “Oh, I see what you mean. That’ll be perfect and effortless!”
Pizza Steve: “What are you talking about, bros?”
Flowey: “Our idea for the challenge, duh!”
Pizza Steve: “Nice, nice, what’re we serving, dudes?”
Flowey: “You.”
Pizza Steve: “...What?-”
Flowey and Kris easily kill Pizza Steve without any retaliation.
Flowey: “Sick! Now we’ve just got to heat him up, I bet he tastes horrible cold.”
Kris writes ‘we should wait until the two hours is almost up first’.
Flowey: “Fuck, that’s right. Guess we do nothing, then.”
Silence fills the room.
Flowey: “...This sucks ass.”
Kris nods in agreement.
Cut to NNIT’s first group - that being Bill, Nacho, Plankton, and Torch God - in their room. This is going to end terribly, isn’t it.
Bill Cipher: “Alright, losers! Make something good or else I’ll tear your limbs off one by one!”
Plankton: “Don’t have to threaten us, barnacle brain, but we get it.”
Bill holds in the urge to send Plankton into fiery oblivion. Meanwhile, Torch God writes ‘WHAT DO WE MAKE’.
Plankton: “You think I’d know?!”
Torch God writes ‘DAMN OK THEN’
‘MAYBE WE MAKE’
‘I DUNNO’
‘A CAKE OR SMTH’
‘THATS LIKE’
‘UNIVERSALLY’
‘LIKED I THINK’
‘I DUNNO’
‘I EAT AIR SO’
Bill Cipher: “That works well, now go make that cake you half-brained peasants!”
Plankton groans in response, though immediately silences himself when Bill glares at him.
Nacho: “Let’s get this over with….”
Nacho gets out the ingredients and starts making the cake with relative ease, using Yoyleberries as the main ingredient. How did those get there? uhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
Anyways Torch God writes ‘MAYBE WE SHOULD’
‘HURRY UP A BIT’
‘I DUNNO HOW’
‘LONG ITS BEEN’
‘BUT BETTER’
‘SAFE THAN SORRY’
Nacho: “...We shouldn’t be rushing.”
Plankton: “Y’know, for once, I actually agree with Nacho on this!”
Nacho blinks.
Nacho: “Then I take back what I said.”
Plankton: “Of course you do. You always strive to get on my nerves.”
Plankton: “What are you gonna do next, piss me off so much I combust or something???”
This gives Nacho a devious idea.
Nacho: “In a way, yes.”
Nacho picks up one of Torch God’s torches and throws it at Plankton.
Plankton: “OH NEPTUNE IT BURNS-”
Nacho: “I take things very literally.”
Plankton: “AT LEAST THE CAKE’S OKAY BUT FUCK OW HELP GODDAMNIT-”
Torch God writes ‘DUDE WHAT THE HELL’
‘WHAT WAS THE’
‘POINT OF THAT’
Nacho: “For my own satisfaction. Which reminds me… I gotta make that cake not okay.”
Nacho turns around to the cake.
Torch God writes ‘OH MY GOD’
‘ARE YOU KIDDING ME’
Nacho: “No.”
Nacho crushes the cake to make it smushed on one side, and begins pouring hot sauce on it. Torch God writes ‘BILL CAN YOU’
‘HELP FOR ONCE’
Bill Cipher: “Normally I would do something, but watching this is pretty funny so I’ll let it slide.”
Torch God makes a :| face.
…And then the room catches on fire from the now-crisped Plankton. Torch God makes a D:< face and then writes ‘SERIOUSLY’
‘ARE YOU INSANE’
‘OR SMTH’
Nacho: “Maybe…”
Bill Cipher: “Welcome to the club, loser!”
Torch God writes ‘IF I WASNT’
‘A BUNCH OF’
‘TORCHES’
‘I THINK I WOULD’
‘HAVE A HEART’
‘ATTACK RN’
‘FROM THIS’
‘STUPIDITY’
Cut to Artificer, the Knight, and Plasma Ball in their room. Artificer is silently cooking while the other two sit on the floor. After a while, Artificer speaks up.
Artificer: “Not being around any of our less orderly teammates for once is pretty relaxing.”
The Knight nods, while Plasma Ball stares in silence.
Artificer: “...”
Artificer: “You’re being uncharacteristically silent, Plasma Ball.”
Artificer: “The Plasma Ball I know would’ve said something right about then.”
Plasma Ball?: “Hazy mind.”
Artificer squints at Plasma Ball, but begrudgingly accepts the response. She continues cooking. The Knight pokes Plasma Ball lightly, and sketches out a question of if she’s okay using symbols. Plasma Ball silently nods as a response, prompting an unsatisfied look from the Knight, who isn’t backing down from the matter, unlike Artificer.
Plasma Ball?: “Trust me. I’m fine.”
The Knight isn’t having any of that and further pressures Plasma Ball. Artificer notices what’s happening and tries to get them to stop.
Artificer: “If she isn’t willing to open up, don’t force her to. Doesn’t matter if something is wrong or not, it’s a bad idea to do so. Trust me.”
The Knight gives a look at Artificer that says no, and points their nail at Plasma Ball, silently demanding the truth. Plasma Ball blinks in response, not scared but definitely not comfortable with it either. Artificer steps in to stop the Knight’s prying, confiscating the nail.
Artificer: “Plasma Ball hasn’t done anything to deserve being threatened like that. I’m not letting you harm her while we’re in a low-stakes challenge like this.”
The Knight stares angrily at Artificer, but decides to let the matter go.
Artificer: “Good. I’m keeping this until the two hours are up, though. I’m not risking anything happening.”
Cut to Donkey, King Julien, Lamb, and Rocket in their kitchen. Rocket takes out the cookbook.
Rocket: “Guess this is what the book is for!”
Lamb: “There’s no reason it wouldn’t be.”
King Julien takes the cookbook from Rocket and looks through it.
Donkey: “Find anything, king?”
King Julien: “No, I don’t read this language.”
Lamb gives an unamused face before snatching the cookbook from King Julien and reading it himself.
Lamb: “No… no… no… hm. This could work.”
Lamb shows the other three the page he flipped to - a recipe for curry.
Rocket: “Never heard of that but I’m up for that!”
King Julien: “I agree with Rocket, sounds like a good plan to me!”
Donkey: “Hell yeah!”
Lamb: “Good to see we can all come to a conclusion.”
Lamb places the cookbook on the counter.
Lamb: “Now we just need the necessary supplies before we begin. I’ll get the utensils, you three can pick out the ingredients from the list.”
The three accept, and begin grabbing the ingredients. Rocket asks a simple question to King Julien while the two are taking things from the pantry in the kitchen.
Rocket: “Hey, Lamb seems to act pretty authoritative towards all us. I’m not an expert on kingdom stuff or anything, but doesn’t that seem like a potential threat? I dunno, probably just spitting nonsense!”
King Julien: “Well, regardless of his mannerisms, I’d like to believe he truly is loyal!”
Rocket: “Alrighty!”
Lamb heard this exchange, however, and immediately gained concerns about Rocket potentially discovering his motives. He silently formed a plan in his head for later…
Cut to the only group not touched on yet, aka Carl, Ploque, and Spider-Ham. Despite still being really confused about her new status on the team, Ploque decides to focus on the challenge for now.
Ploque: “Alright, first off, Carl is not going to be involved in cooking at all. I don’t trust him anywhere around food.”
Carl: “Aw, what’d I do?”
Ploque: “Eat human hands. Right in front of me and Rocket.”
Carl: “Ohhhh, now that makes a little sense.”
Spider-Ham: “Using your new authority already? Nice!”
Ploque rolls her… symbol??? It sounds a lot weirder when you say that instead of eyes.
Ploque: “I would’ve told him that regardless. It has nothing to do with me being second-in-command now.”
Ploque also mutters something under her breath - something about not understanding the decision to put her in that spot.
Spider-Ham: “Mm, alright. Got any suggestions for what we’re cookin’, boss?”
Ploque: “Do not call me boss. Also, I dunno. Though…”
Ploque: “Someone from my home world place, Ixol, is part of the judging group. That gives me some insight into what we could cook. I know he could care less about what he eats, and the host and blue circle guy both seem like they’d be the same way. I dunno about that square, but that’s three out of four people which we can easily make something casual for.”
Spider-Ham: “Hmm…”
Spider-Ham: “Oh! I got it! Hot dogs!”
Ploque stares at Spider-Ham.
Ploque: “...”
Spider-Ham: “What? It’s a valid idea!”
Carl: “I agree.”
Ploque: “Not that, just…”
Ploque: “...Y’know what, whatever. Let’s just get to making those hot dogs.”
Spider-Ham pulls out a package out of nowhere.
Spider-Ham: “Got the ‘dogs already!”
Ploque: “Did you just get those out of the air-”
Spider-Ham: “Yeah! I’m a cartoon, what do you expect?”
Carl: “I wish I could summon meat out of thin air.”
Ploque: “Knowing you, you’d just summon more human hands to eat.”
Carl: “Darn, you read my mind.”
Ploque: “Regardless of the… dubious origins of the hot dogs… since we have them, best we actually make them now.”
Spider-Ham: “Ya got that right!”
Time skip moment! Yay! The two hours pass by slowly for some and quickly for others…
Koe lounges in a chair outside, checking his timer to see when it hits zero. Ixol is playing a game on Coolmath on his laptop with Profily watching, as Nanobot just sits idly midair.
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “Ten… nine…”
Ixol: “You don’t gotta count the seconds out loud, Koe. A little bit annoying!”
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “Mm, fair.”
Ixol finishes the game and promptly closes his laptop.
Profily: “I’m so excited to see what these guys made for us!”
Ixol: “It’ll be funny if they make an overcooked freezer like I did back when we did this challenge.”
Nanobot questions the other two on doing this as a challenge.
Ixol: “Oh yeah, you were like, a pie or something when we did that. Ha ha! But, we basically did this but with Koe and the old host as the judges.”
Profily: “Yeah, and your team beat us by a landslide! It was pretty crazy, honestly!-”
Koe cuts Profily off.
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “Alrighty, timer’s up! It’s time to bring out the teams!”
Koe pulls out a megaphone and shouts into it, being loud enough for everyone in the rooms to hear.
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “TIME IS UP! YOU WILL ALL BE ALLOWED TO LEAVE YOUR ROOMS NOW AND BRING YOUR FOOD FOR JUDGING!”
Doors suddenly appear on the outside of each room, with all the people within exiting.
Profily: “Koe-man, could you mayhaps not shout into that next time? My nonexistent ears would be hurting right now if they could!”
Nanobot nods in agreement, having slammed into the floor due to the volume.
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “Oops, sorry guys.”
Since everyone is out now, Koe plops a large table in front of him and the other three.
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “Alright, everyone put your food on here, and we’ll go through it in a random order!”
The food is put on the table by the teams, being obscured by a curtain so that Koe and the judges can’t see it.
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “Okay, friends, which team do you want to go first?”
Ixol: “I dunno, don’t care.”
Nanobot agrees in not minding much.
Profily: “How about…”
Profily points at IDIOT.
Profily: “Those people? They seem pretty nice to me!”
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “Got it!”
Koe drags the first of the food in from behind the curtain, being made by the larger group of IDIOT.
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “Alrighty, we have some stew! Not a bad start. Though, uh, what is that in there?...”
Ixol: “Looks like a whole bunch of random junk. Nice.”
Nanobot questions how well it’ll taste since it seems to be a completely random selection.
Profily: “Hey, you never know until you try it! …Unless you magically can know before you try it! I don’t think anyone can do that, though.”
Koe clones the soup thrice so that each judge can have some of it.
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “...”
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “Could taste better, but not too shabby. 7/10.”
Ixol: “Bland, but whatever. 5/10.”
Profily: “Bland? It was pretty varied in taste, my dear friend Ixol!”
Ixol: “We’re not friends but ok.”
Profily: “:(“
Profily: “Oh, right, rating! 10/10!”
Nanobot buzzes to give a 6/10.
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “28/40, not too bad but not too good either. Maybe IDIOT’s second dish will give them a better total score?”
Koe drags out the food from the other team, and is immediately surprised at how perfect it is. It’s like. Impeccable. Got damn. Even a lot of the other contestants are in awe.
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “Jesus christ you guys overperformed on this this looks great!”
Ixol: “Even I have to say that it looks pretty fuckin’ good.”
Profily: “Woah!”
Nanobot immediately goes to eat the dish placed in front of them, and gives an enthusiastic buzz as a 10/10.
Ixol: “Alright, that convinces me to try a bit.”
The other three judges try theirs.
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “DAMN THAT’S GOOD INSTANT 10/10.”
Profily: “Agreed! 10/10!”
Ixol: “...”
Ixol: “It’s okay, I guess. 8/10.”
Nanobot gives a ‘what.’ look at Ixol.
Ixol: “What? I’m not the biggest fan of grilled cheese, y’know.”
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “That means this meal gets a score of 38/40, garnering a total of 66/80 for IDIOT! Pretty impressive!”
Blue celebrates getting such a high score.
Warrior: “Yeah! You rocked this challenge, man!”
Science Bear: “I must say, your culinary skills are excellent.”
Charlie the Unicorn: “Yeah, that’s gotta top anything else that people make.”
Test Tube: “I’m glad you were able to express yourself this time round, Blue! It’s the key to success, or so I’ve seen from research.”
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “Now, onto the next team… hm… let’s go with Royal Circle of King Julien!”
Koe grabs the hot dogs Ploque and Spider-Ham made.
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “...Well, this isn’t really what I meant by cooking, but okay…”
Ixol: “It’s hot dogs! You’d be a fool to turn that down.”
Profily: “I’ve never heard of these before, but they sound yummy!”
Nanobot agrees, before all four have a hot dog.
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “6/10, but only because it didn’t exactly follow the rules.”
Ixol: “10/10. Hot dogs are based.”
Profily: “8/10! It was pretty good, but I think there’s some room for improvement!”
Nanobot gives a 7/10.
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “31/40! Not too shabby. Now onto the other dish!”
Koe pulls out the curry made from the other group of RCoKJ.
Ixol: “What the hell is that?”
Profily: “I think it’s called curry. I dunno, read about it in a magazine once.”
Nanobot confirms what it is.
Profily: “Yep, knew it!”
The curry is eated.
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “Hm… a bit too hot, in my opinion. 7/10.”
Ixol: “Kinda sucked ass ngl, 3/10.”
Profily: “I think it was nice! 9/10.”
Nanobot gives an 8/10.
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “That adds up to 27/40, granting a total score of 58/30! Not as good as IDIOT, but it’s not bad either!”
Ploque: “Well, looks like I was right, Ixol and blue one definitely liked hot dogs.”
Spider-Ham: “You didn’t do too bad for your first day as second-in-command!”
Ploque whispers to herself about not liking that title much, though it’s left unheard.
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “Onto team three to be judged, which will be…”
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “Blocky’s Funny Doings International!”
Profily raises their eyebrows at the name of the team, but puts more of their focus on the first food brought out… Yellow Face brand mac and cheese.
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “...”
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “This is just mac and cheese.”
Squid: “According to our teammate who condoned this, it was quick and efficient. I don’t think he cared much about putting in effort.”
Red: “Should also be careful about eating it! Some sketchy guy - literally, too - appeared and sold it to us!”
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “Noted, I guess.”
Nanobot says they’ll take a try first to see if there’s anything wrong with it, before dunking themselves into their bowl and eating some of it.
Profily: “What’s the verdict, my block buddy?”
Nanobot takes some time unwedging themself from the pasta and gives a 9/10, saying it wasn’t spiked or anything and that it actually tasted pretty good.
Profily: “Nice!”
Ixol: “Would’ve been funny if it was laced with something, but I guess comedy will not prevail today, sadly.”
The other three eat their mac n cheese.
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “I gotta give it a lower score because it’s once again just something shoved into a microwave, but it’s an 8/10.”
Ixol: “I’ve had better mac and cheese, 6/10.”
Profily: “10/10! I can already tell it’s Yellow Face brand, and he makes some of the best food I’ve ever had!”
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “That’s a 33/40, which is pretty good! Time for the other meal from you guys!”
Koe pulls out the food made by Nikoly, Sundew, and Tree-y… it’s just a kebab.
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “Well. I guess you guys did succeed. But this is pretty damn boring compared to everything else.”
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “Whatever, it’s food, we gotta judge it!”
Eat
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “...Yeah, didn’t like that. 3/10.”
Ixol: “8/10, stick was the best part.”
Profily: “Sorry, but I gotta give a 6/10… it was just off, y’know?”
Nanobot gives a 5/10.
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “That brings in a 22/40, giving Blocky’s Funny Doings International a total score of 55/80! Worse than the other two, that’s for sure. Maybe we’ll give worse ratings later on, though, who knows?”
Nikoly: “I knew we should’ve served medkits!”
Sundew: “No sane person would eat those.”
Nikoly: “You think any of these guys are sane?”
Sundew: “...Fair.”
Tree-y: “♪ now thats a little rude its not nice to make feuds ♪”
Sundew: “I could care less.”
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “For the fourth team we’ll be tasting food from, we have… Cool Friends! Let’s see what they made!”
Koe pulls out the first meal, which is N’s very terribly made cake. It’s way too sweet, a little melty, the frosting is fucked up, the list goes on and on.
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “...”
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “This is just sad.”
Profily: “It might still taste good! You don’t judge a book by its cover, y’know! Or, well, a cake by its cover. Cakes don’t have covers, but…”
Ixol: “Stop monologuing, let’s just get to eating this already, I’m starving!”
Nanobot tries to question how Ixol is starving despite already having eaten a lot but is interrupted by the point practically inhaling a slice of cake.
Ixol: “Ooh, that’s sweet. A bit undercooked and it’s got some odd undertones, but hey, it’s cake. 9/10.”
Profily: “Knew it!”
Profily takes their slice of cake next.
Profily: “Mmm, tastes good-”
Profily gets spaced out by the sheer amount of sugar within. Nanobot taps them, visibly concerned.
Profily: “I can hear colors now.”
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “...”
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “I think I’ll pass on this one, sorry. 0/10.”
Nanobot agrees.
Profily: “...8/10.”
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “17/40. Owch. That’s the lowest so far.”
N frowns from the crowd.
N: “I thought it was good!”
Flowey: “I don’t trust the edibility of any food you make. Never did.”
…Where’s Pizza Steve?-
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “Onto the second meal of the team!...”
Koe pulls out Pizza Steve’s reheated body.
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “I.”
Are you kidding me???
Flowey: “Look, before you guys get all pissy about this, he’s literally living pizza! What else were we expected to do?!”
Wheatley: “That’s still not very nice, y’know!”
Flowey: “It was Kris’s idea.”
N: “Kris, that wasn’t very nice!”
Kris simply writes ‘desperate times call for desperate measures’.
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “...Do we… eat him?”
Ixol: “If nobody else is gonna do it, I will.”
Profily: “Yeah, I’d prefer not eating our competitor buddy!”
Nanobot slowly backs away from Pizza Steve’s body.
Ixol: “Oh well. More for me!”
Ixol eats.
Ixol: “Could use some bacon. 8/10.”
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “...Well, that’s 8/40, resulting in a total of 25/80. That’s the worst score out of all the teams we’ve gone over so far, I’m hoping Not Naming It That brings us something more edible. Speaking of them, it’s time for their food to finish off the challenge!”
Blocky brings out a video recorder as Koe brings out the meal made by Artificer, which is lasaga (garfield).
Blocky: “Hey guys, for a prank, rig an opposing team’s food with bombs!”
The judges are about to eat the lasagna when it suddenly blows up in their faces.
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “I was actually looking forward to that, god dammit guys.”
Profily: “Noooo! The weird cake! This is so sad!”
Nanobot tries eating the exploded remains of the lasagna, but spits it out as it has gunpowder in it now. They give it a 0/10.
Profily: “I gotta give it that too, sorry guys!”
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “Agreed.”
Ixol: “Heh. Exploding lasagna. 5/10 for comedy.”
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “Already off to a bad spot with 5/40, maybe their second dish will redeem them?”
Artificer: “Are you kidding me?! Who put explosives in our food?!”
Artificer notices Blocky laughing about the prank, and she stares at him with malice.
Artificer: “Of fucking course.”
Torch God writes ‘YOU AREN’T’
‘GONNA LIKE OUR’
‘MEAL THEN’
Artificer: “What does that mean-”
Koe pulls out the last food, which is the worst thing any person could ever lay their eyes on. Horribly crushed Yoylecake with a bunch of sauces and spices poured on it, topped with the burnt body of Plankton.
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “I don’t even know what to say…”
Profily: “I don’t mean to be rude, but this… this isn’t very good.”
Nanobot makes a disgusted sound.
Artificer: “Bill what the fuck did you do to that cake.”
Bill Cipher: “Believe it or not, it wasn’t actually me! Ha! Crazy, right? It was this little chip right here!”
Bill points to Nacho, who unenthusiastically waves.
Nacho: “I also burned down the kitchen.”
The kitchen is still burning, almost reduced to ashes.
Artificer: “You two are dead meat.”
Nacho: “I’m a nacho, not meat.”
Artificer: “Don’t smartass me.”
Back at the judges’ table, Ixol picks up the cake.
Ixol: “Hey, if nobody else is gonna eat it, I’ll take the chance!”
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “I’m genuinely concerned about the edibility of that-”
Ixol: “Too late!”
Ixol eats the horrid thing whole.
Ixol: “...Wasn’t that bad, actual-”
Ixol shatters into pieces like a Roblox death.
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “...”
Profily: “I think we should just give this a 0/40????”
Nanobot agrees with Profily.
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “Yeah Not Naming It That loses with 8/80. Please never cook again. Everyone else is excused I think we need to get Ixol to a plastic surgeon.”
As the other teams start to leave after what just occurred, Artificer gives one final death stare at Bill and Nacho.
Artificer: “Fuck up something one more time and I’m not going to hesitate on getting revenge.”
The Knight agrees with Artificer, while Plasma Ball just idly stares into the distance.
Bill Cipher: “Ha! Try us!”
Torch God makes a :| face before writing ‘GUYS WE GOTTA’
‘GET PLANKTON’
‘REVIVED’
However, their efforts are in vain as everyone else leaves. They write ‘JESUS CHRIST MAN’ before going to Koe to get Plankton back themselves.
VOTING LINK: [ENDED]
Nikoly: “Okay, steady, steady…”
Nikoly and Red are playing Jenga in Red’s ship. Nikoly takes a block out, but it makes the tower fall over.
Nikoly: “Oh come on! Ugh.”
Red: “Hey, come on, don’t get too heated over just Jenga…”
Nikoly: “I am not heated! Just! A teensy bit angry.”
Red: “Alright, that works well enough for me. I’m gonna go to sleep now, you can head back to your room.”
Nikoly gives a thumbs up and casually noclips out of the Skeld.
Red: “Ah… peace and quiet. Well, not that Nikoly’s bad, but at least I can be without the rest of my team when I’m awake!”
Red hops into a bed and falls asleep relatively quickly.
Chapter 8: Episode 8 - Hop to It!
Notes:
this took way longer to write than intended sorry
Chapter Text
The episode starts incredibly early in the morning. Koe is seen filing through paperwork in his office, leaving the vote results and reasons on the side. An alarm pops up on his screen, titled ‘Coffee Break’.
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “Oh, coffee break time! Woohoo!”
Koe exits the room, before Lamb appears outside the window. He silently opens it and creeps in, before walking over to the desk. He pulls out a marker and covers some parts of the vote reasons, before making his escape, no traces left behind. Koe reenters.
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “Man, I love two AM coffee. Tastes the best!”
Koe sits down in his chair, and notices Lamb’s actions upon the vote reasons. However, he is completely oblivious and thinks this was intentional.
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “Bit weird for people to put blank spaces in their reasons, but hey, I won’t judge.”
Time skip to later in the morning. The scene has Charles, Science Bear, and Warrior sitting on a slab of stone near the statue Lamb had made Plasma Ball build back in episode six.
Science Bear: “I’m confused about the purpose of us being here.”
Charles blinks for a moment.
Charles: “Wait, you’re a member?”
Science Bear: “Not willingly, that is all I can say. But what about you and Warrior? I would expect you two much less than I would assume myself.”
Charles: “Warrior asked me to join, I dunno why he got dragged into here in the first place, though…”
Warrior: “Got asked by Lamb the day we got into the building! Nothin’ more to it than that.”
Science Bear: “Makes sense to me, I suppose. My original question still stands, however.”
As if on cue, Lamb walks up to the trio, Plasma Ball following not far behind.
Lamb: “I apologize for taking a fair while to get here, but I had to do something important before I came. Nevertheless, there is a good reason for me calling you three here today.”
Lamb: “You see, in order to expand this cult, I require an essence which you can simply refer to as ‘devotion’. And the best way to gather devotion is, if it wasn’t obvious already, to give prayer - to the One who Waits, our god.”
Lamb motions to the statue behind him.
Charles: “Hey, wait, nobody mentioned any god stuff!”
Science Bear: “It should be assumable from this being referred to as a ‘cult’ that there is a godly figure of some sort.”
Charles: “That’s… yeah, that’s fair.”
Warrior: “How do we do the pray-y thingy though? I’m not much of a religious person so I got no idea what to do.”
Lamb: “It’s a simple process, all that you need to do is kneel before this statue and give your undying allegiance.”
Charles: “Undying allegiance? Seriously? That seems a bit too fa-”
Science Bear silently shushes Charles, knowing the dangers of going against Lamb’s word.
Warrior: “Hey, come on, what’s the worst that can happen?”
Science Bear: “A lot, but it’s probably best that we don’t touch on that for your sake.”
Silence for a moment.
Charles: “...Hey, Lamb, one question before we go through with this?”
Lamb: “What is it.”
Charles: “What’s up with Plasma Ball? She’s kinda just standing there behind you…”
Charles points to Plasma Ball, who is idly standing around while slowly blinking. Lamb chooses not to say the truth, instead giving a simple shrug.
Charles: “Well, I guess we better do the whole pledging allegiance to the god guy now! I’m still not too sure about this but I guess what doesn’t kill you makes you stronger?”
The trio from IDIOT walk over to the statue to follow Lamb’s command, while the sheep himself walks off towards the building with Plasma Ball in tow.
Cut to inside the cafeteria, where Squid is planning something while the rest of BFDI, save for Red, is sitting at a nearby table and eating.
Squid: “Since their team is up for elimination and Bill Cipher was supposed to be eliminated last time according to Nikoly, it’s safe to bet that he will get out. In the likely occasion that he does, Not Naming It That will be completely vulnerable, as without him we can overpower most of their team in each challenge, sending them into a spiral of losses.”
Blocky: “Sounds good to me!”
Tree-y: “♪ but couldnt we be friends and just make amends ♪”
Squid: “First of all, they were the ones that called war upon us. Second of all, it’s too late for negotiations. They need to be eradicated.”
Sundew: “Eradicated is a strong word, but he is right, Tree-y. Not surprising, considering he’s one of the more sensible people here…”
Nikoly: “Hey, I’m sensible!”
Sundew: “You tried to use a medkit as our food last challenge.”
Nikoly: “...Mostly sensible.”
Sundew: “ And you tried to accuse the Blocky plush of killing Red in the murder mystery challenge.”
Nikoly: “Okay, now that one was a joke!”
Sundew: “ And you are completely obsessed with your weird metal things.”
Nikoly: “They are called Espacoins, thank you very much!”
Sundew: “My point still stands.”
Sundew keeps listing off things, as Squid progressively gets more annoyed. Blocky and Tree-y both finish eating, then watch Sundew go off on Nikoly. Blocky then has a realization.
Blocky: “Hey, weird-o bean didn’t show up! Where the block is that guy?”
Squid: “I think by now we’ve established he has his own agenda.”
Tree-y: “♪ he’s probably with blue and enderman i believe they are his friends ♪”
Blocky: “Aw, come on, friends with another team? I’d get it if you were friends beforehand but that’s just ridiculous!”
Squid: “On the other hand, it could lead to an alliance against our enemy.”
Blocky: “...”
Blocky: “Guess that’s true.”
Tree-y: “♪ i still dont agree but im just a tree ♪”
Cut to Ploque’s room, where she’s trying to sleep in, but the sound of chaos outside keeps her up.
Ploque: “The one day where we don’t have a meeting…”
Ploque gives up and groans in an annoyed tone, getting out of her bed and opening her door to see what all the ruckus is about. Outside of her room, Donkey, Rocket, and Spider-Ham are playing some kind of game involving throwing tennis balls at bowling pins and knocking them into pistons that bounce them everywhere???
Rocket: “Oh, hi Ploque!”
Ploque: “Hi. What is this. And why right outside my room.”
Donkey: “We were just lazy, honestly!”
Spider-Ham: “That, and there aren't many rooms that fit the requirements for this game.”
Rocket: “We’re playing this game called bouncy ball or something! It’s pretty fun!”
Rocket throws a ball at a bowling pin, causing it to bounce around the hallway before decking Ploque straight in the gut.
Ploque: “OW-”
Ploque bonks her head on the door and falls onto the floor.
Rocket: “Oh no oops-”
Donkey: “Uhhh… call off the game for now?”
Spider-Ham: “Ploque, are you okay?”
Ploque weakly tries to get up, holding the back of her head with one hand.
Ploque: “Does it look like I’m okay?!”
Spider-Ham: “Okay, no need to get angry, I was just concer-”
Spider-Ham, along with Donkey and Rocket, get a good look at Ploque’s face… ouch.
Spider-Ham: “-...ned… uh…”
Ploque: “What?”
Donkey: “You better look in a mirror or something, it’s… it’s bad.”
Rocket: “Yeah, oops…”
Spider-Ham hands Ploque a mirror, and she looks at it… her face is very bruised and dented.
Ploque: “...”
Ploque: “If I didn’t know any better I would kill you three.”
Rocket: “I’m sorry!!!”
Donkey: “Okay guys plan of action we run!”
The trio escapes, while Ploque lets out an angry noise.
Ploque: “WHY DO YOU HATE ME, WORLD.”
Carl appears outside his room, snacking on human hands.
Carl: “Sounds like someone woke up on the wrong side of the bed this morning.”
Ploque: “Shut it.”
Cut to Amelia, Kris, and N lounging on a couch while the sound of Flowey and Pizza Steve arguing can be heard in the background. Wheatley rolls on screen.
Wheatley: “What’s up with Flowey and ‘Steve?”
Amelia: “Flowey ate… some of Pizza Steve’s pepperoni… while he was sleeping…”
N: “Yeah, Pizza Steve really didn’t like that! Makes sense, I guess, I’d be angry if someone ate my arm or something. ”
Kris nods in agreement.
Wheatley: “Checks out, I guess!”
Silence.
Wheatley: “Hey, guys, after the challenge do you wanna play this new board game I found in the games room?”
N: “Ooh! Sure!”
Kris writes ‘is it something flowey’s gonna rage over’. Wheatley blinks.
Wheatley: “Mayyybeeeee…”
Kris lets out a silent sigh.
Amelia: “Maybe we could… not invite him?...”
N: “Aw, but I don’t wanna exclude anyone! Even if he’s a little, y’know…”
Kris writes ‘murderously insane?’
N: “Yep!”
Wheatley: “He’d force himself into the game anyways, no point in trying!”
Amelia: “...True…”
Amelia: “I… guess I’ll play…”
Kris writes ‘same’.
Wheatley: “Nice! Now I gotta ask Stanley and…”
Wheatley glances over at Flowey and Pizza Steve, where Flowey is now trying to eat Pizza Steve as revenge for the argument.
Wheatley: “...”
Wheatley: “Guess I can ask those two during the challenge!”
Wheatley rolls off to who knows where.
Cut to outside, where Torch God is simulating a timer while the rest of the team, bar Plasma Ball, is sat around them.
Artificer: “Where is she? She’s usually around by now, no matter what’s going on!”
Plankton: “For all we know, she could be dead somewhere and we wouldn’t have a clue.”
Bill Cipher: “Foolish mortals, clearly-”
Artificer and Plankton both tell Bill to shut up, with the Knight making a grating noise with their nail to aid them.
Bill Cipher: “What if I don’t?”
Artificer: “...”
Plankton: “...”
Artificer: “Shit.”
Nacho gives an unamused face at this interaction.
Nacho: “She’s probably at the elimination area.”
Torch God stops their timer, instead writing ‘HOW DID WE’
‘NOT THINK OF THAT’
‘ITS SO BLATANTLY’
‘OBVIOUS’
Artificer: “You have to keep in mind her weird behavior, though. Who’s to say she isn’t off somewhere else?”
Plankton: “Yeah, like right there?”
Plankton points at Plasma Ball, who is approaching the rest of her team.
Artificer: “...About time.”
Plasma Ball?: “Sorry, I was busy!”
Artificer: “Busy doing what?”
Plasma Ball?: “...Confidential!”
The Knight squints at Plasma Ball, having clear suspicions, but decides to let her off scot-free for now.
Bill Cipher: “Now with all the stupid waiting over, let’s get your asses in that room and see which of you suckers are getting out!”
Plankton: “And who’s to say you aren’t going, you stupid trian-”
Bill suddenly teleports the entirety of NNIT into the elimination room, where Koe had just finished setting everything up.
Plankton: “-gle… Of course.”
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “Hey, you guys are supposed to be in the waiting room!”
Bill Cipher: “You’re already done, let’s just get this pathetic shindig over with so I can get back to messing with people!”
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “...Fine, but only this one time. Never again.”
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “This time around, we got thirty seven votes, which is a new record! And starting off with spin votes, Plasma Ball is the only person to not get any! Better luck next time.”
Plasma Ball blinks.
Plasma Ball: “Okay.”
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “...I was expecting more of a reaction from her, but noted. Next up, Plankton got just two!”
Plankton: “Same as last time?! Are you kidding me?!”
Nacho: “Nice.”
Plankton: “Shut your trap!”
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “The first reason is ‘Because it would honestly be funny for Plankton to be the most voted with the wheel.’.”
Plankton: “Oh, lemme guess, it’s because I’m short? Hardy har har, so funny, please go fall into the dark abyss of the ocean.”
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “Got damn. Anyways, second reason, ‘One of the only reasonable ones on the team.’.”
Plankton: “Good, someone realizes that I’m not one of these lunatics!”
Plankton points to Bill and Nacho. Bill has a smug expression while Nacho rolls her eyes.
Nacho: “Whatever.”
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “On the topic of Nacho, she’s next to not get to spin with three votes.”
Nacho: “Okay.”
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “...second time geez. First reason was ‘nacho is being petty but it’s also hilarious
this is probably in vain as she’s probably gonna get eliminated but I don’t care
- sad’.”
Plankton: “Hope she’s eliminated.”
Nacho: “I would agree normally because I could care less, but I’m morally obligated to say I want to stay in now.”
Plankton: “Wh- what morals do you have?!”
Artificer: “They’re clearly screwed up ones.”
Nacho: “Nah. I just like messing with Plankton. That’s it.”
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “Next is ‘i guess you could say... it was... nacho prob...nach.....nacho
nacho problem’.”
Ba dum tss.
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “Yay, puns. Last reason is ‘nacho ik u ruined the whole challenge but u were so silly this time so - starry’.”
Nacho: “Cool.”
Artificer: “Being fully aware and accepting that Nacho threw the challenge and then voting her to spin the wheel? That’s-”
Plankton: “Are you really questioning these people?”
The Knight nods in agreement with Plankton.
Artificer: “...Fair. I think it’s already been proven that some of these people make bad choices in their votes.”
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “Next to not spin is Bill, with five votes!”
Bill Cipher: “If I wasn’t as much of an idiot as that damned hyena was, I would spin the wheel out of spite, but I’d rather not deal with you tying me to a chair! So instead I’m going to pretend I span the wheel.”
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “Good for you, I guess? Your first reason was ‘Bill bill bill bill bill bill bill bill’.”
Bill Cipher: “I’m not Beetlejuice, repeating my name won’t summon me.”
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “I don’t think that was the intention but okay. Next reason is ‘A talking triangle talking me on? (That’s a-cute!) I’m the undisputed lord of chaos, there’s no room for you! - ADAGE’.”
Bill Cipher: “Whoever you are, I’m sure I could absolutely stomp you like an ant! I won’t even show a sliver of mercy, ha ha!”
Artificer: “I continue to be amazed by how much you taunt the viewers.”
Bill Cipher: “Well, what are they gonna do? Fight me? We live in a plane separate from them, they can’t do jack shit! …Well, a different plane for now, that is. But I won’t touch on that yet. And I’d kick their ass anyways!”
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “You really like putting down the viewers, huh. Third is ‘sleeping in the middle of a summer afternoon’. Not sure what that’s meant to mean but okay.”
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “The fourth and final reason is ‘bEing rEal I'm bEing biasEd hErE sincE I likE bills charactEr a lot and I also find him funny btw bill nicE job killing discord on dEath battlE I was rooting for you also maybE try to hElp your tEam morE so peoplE won't votE you so you can annoy your tEammatEs morE lol’.”
Bill Cipher: “First of all, thank you! Second of all, you think these losers need my help? They’re perfectly capable!”
Artificer: “Nacho burnt down an entire kitchen and you just watched.”
Bill Cipher: “That was funny so it doesn’t fall under ‘not capable’.”
Torch God writes ‘THIS DUDE SUCKS’.
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “Next, reaching third place and not spinning is the Knight, with just six votes!”
The Knight makes an unsatisfied face.
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “For their first reason, we got ‘where were you before you went into the gameshow thingy bleh’.”
Knight thinks for a moment, before sketching a map of Hollownest and putting a mark on Greenpath.
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “Next is ‘Favourite character (:
(Also lamb is making a cult and plasma ball's in it)
-scav with internet access’.”
Artificer: “That… explains Plasma Ball’s odd behavior, I guess.”
Bill Cipher: “Ha! What pitiful god could that stupid cult possibly be praising?”
Plasma Ball?: “That’s not true…”
The Knight stares blankly at Plasma Ball.
Plasma Ball?: “It isn’t! Don’t look at me like that!”
The Knight shrugs in an ‘i ain’t gonna deal with this’ way and turns around.
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “Reason three is ‘They are cool
Tiiiiiiiissssss I the lore guy i am here to give either lore or fun facts about some of you’
The rest of the reason would read ‘So ummmm plasma ball is definitely mind controlled there is no such thing as a curse of acceptance or whatever. So yeah Lambert mind controlled plasma ball. I KNOW YOUR SECRETS LITTLE LAMB!’, but it’s marked out so Koe can’t read it.
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “..There’s… no lore or fun fact? Must be a printing error, but whatevs.”
Artificer: “If it’s a printing error, why not go fix it? This could be vital information!”
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “Lazy.”
Artificer gives a bruh expression.
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “Fourth reason is ‘i dont know anyone here other than plankton but i think knight looks cooler so..’.”
Knight gives a simple nod in response.
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “Then we have ‘Lumina: The only ones here with a functioning moral compass are Torch God, Artificer, and The Knight, so really any of the should get to spain the wheel.
Shade: Also buddy, you are completely correct to assume that somethings up with Plasma Ball, can't believe I'm saying this, but either you should get Dream Nailing away, or hell if all else fails, get Bill to do something usefull in his time of being a useless contestant and get him to invade her mind. Just saying, good luck.’.”
Knight keeps the latter part in mind for when the next challenge is over.
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “Lastly, we have ‘From one of my first votes 'slashy bug boi', it still stands (plus I respect 'em even more, seriously, Hollow Knight is HARD.) -Tayoga’.”
Knight gives another simple nod.
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “With that done and dusted, we’re onto the final two for spinning! Artificer and Torch God!”
Spotlights shine down on the two. Artificer gives a monotonous expression, not caring much this time around, while Torch God makes a smiley face.
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “One got nine votes, while the other got eleven. I’ll read out the reasons that they got, starting with Artificer’s ‘artificer is such a silly scug. personally my most favorite slugcat next to.. inv? enot? rizzcat? thanks andrew? sofa- how tf do you spell that one name again.. sofantjiel.. sofanthiel. there we go.
anyways ignore the existencial crisis i just went through, artificers just trying her best and try to have some fun instead of.. scavenger massacres and harassing five pebbles (/j)
also, with all the scavengers you’ve killed, surely you’ve tamed some lizards? if so, what kinda lizards were they.. cyan? red? blue? have you even showed your team about your ability of crafting explosives yet?
-zapper’.”
Artificer: “I have tamed one blue lizard, before being sent here. And as for explosives, I’ve already had to use them twice. Hopefully it doesn’t come to where I need to use them again, if only some specific team members actually put in effort… ”
Bill Cipher: “Fat chance!”
Nacho: “Don’t count on it…”
Plasma Ball blinks, not responding.
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “Next is ‘Absolutely the only reason i’m here.’.”
Artificer: “Well, that’s nice to know, I suppose.”
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “Third reason is ‘her entire life choices were suicide or genocide.
THE SCAVENGERS DESERVED EVERYTHING THEY GOT’.”
Plankton: “What the barnacles happened between you and these ‘scavengers’? I know we learned about them last time we went up, but there’s no explanation at all!”
Artificer: “It’s…”
Artificer: “It’s a long story. That’s all I’ll say.”
Bill Cipher: “Oh, boohoo, you got a sad sob story? How typical.”
Artificer: “SHUT your mou-”
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “NEXTTTTT UPPPPP we have ‘Hey look! It’s one of the only people- uh- creatures? In this team with commen sense!’.”
Artificer: “You can just call me a person. But thank you for being sensible.”
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “Fifth is ‘I know EXACTLY what u need , u need EGG
~Sofanthiel / Inv / Enot’.”
Artificer: “...What is an egg meant to do.”
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “Sixth is a fairly long one, ‘Artificer has been through enough already
{Now for some fun facts about everyone’s dimensions.
First off Artificer, in Artificer‘s dimension it is impossible to die permanently this is because in her world there is something called a cycle and at the end of one anyone and anything is revived and has memories of their deaths.
Next up is bill cipher, not much is known about his dimension thanks to the fact that he destroyed it as well as everything and everyone (which includes his family) inside it.
Now onto the knight, in his world there are gods but all of them can die and new ones can be created or born through blood lines ideas of things manifest or training up their skills. ( for example if the radiance was a god of dreams but was almost killed thanks to people not remembering her.)
Nachos world use to have nothing but them and other objects without limbs or voices until a dimension hopping god shows up and gives them that stuff.
Now plasma ball dimension is pretty basic just a normal world except everyone is a sentient object.
Plankton’s dimension is pretty cartoonish and has loose laws on reality and everything in the sea is sentient but everything else is normal.
Torch god lives in the strange world of terraria and it doesn’t really have one big difference from other dimensions just a very long list of smaller things that would take hours to list out.’.”
Artificer: “I’m not surprised that Bill destroyed his entire home dimension.”
Bill Cipher: “It was for the bit! Best dimension destroying I’ve ever done!”
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “Next is ‘Honestly she deserves to spin the wheel every time with everything she's been through. (Did someone already say this the first time NNIT was UFE? Feels like it)’.”
Artificer: “That was the general idea of almost all of them, yes.”
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “I’m still confused on how similar they all were… whatever, next reason is ‘Doing good Arti! You are trying to carry your team and I respect you for that. Go scav killer go! Also 5 Pebbles is fine don’t worry. - Kairos ate a orb.’.”
Plankton: “I think I’m piecing together the backstory.”
Nacho: “No you aren’t.”
Nacho throws Plankton out the window.
Artificer: “Wh- why the fuck would you do that unprovoked?!”
Torch God writes ‘NACHO CAN YOU JUST’
‘NOT BE LIKE THIS’
‘AND BE NORMAL’
Nacho: “No.”
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “Nacho, you’re paying for the window repairs.”
Nacho: “Fine.”
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “Lastly, we have ‘They are interesting character’.”
Artificer: “...Character?”
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “Don’t think about it too much. It’ll make your brain go ow.”
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “Anyways onto Torch God’s reasons, starting with ‘can you bring everyone here to watch this video thanks:’.”
There’s also a YouTube link, but just to spare you all from accidentally witnessing the horrors I won’t show it. Just know that it is a little uh
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “Lemme just make sure this is safe…”
Koe plays it to himself. His face immediately becomes a traumatized frown.
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “...”
Artificer: “Are you broken or something? We still have to do the elimination.”
Plasma Ball?: “Maybeeeee he got mentally scarred by whatever it was?”
Silence, for a moment. The Knight taps Koe’s screen with their nail.
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “I am not going to show that.”
Bill Cipher: “Ha! What’s the worst it could be?”
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “You don’t want to know.”
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “Let’s just move on and go to regular vote reasons! Next for Torch God is ‘Feel bad for Torch God this episode. They just wanted to do the challenge correctly but Bill and Nacho screwed their food over, and then they got completely ignored when trying to say that they have to bring back Plankton.’.”
Artificer: “Wait, you tried doing that?”
Torch God writes ‘YES’
‘BUT YOU GUYS’
‘LEFT WITHOUT PAYING’
‘ANY ATTENTION’
Artificer: “...Yeah that’s on us.”
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “Next is ‘For being one of the most reasonable, level-headed people here. Was difficult to choose between them and Artificer.’.”
Torch God writes ‘THANKS’.
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “Fourth reason is ‘i know nothing abt you other than from here but you seem cool
also it’d be really cool that if RW Basil from OMORI debuts that he’d be able to use his Something if needed though that would mean his mental state goes to absolute shit tehe :)
also what if omori bad ending hospital was 2763 floors and sunny was on floor 2763 gasp
- Ember Nyxtical (EmberTheAlphaWolf)’.”
Torch God writes ‘THAT WAS BARELY’
‘ABOUT ME’
‘BUT OK IG’
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “Next up is ‘They are cool (not literally)’.”
Ba dum tss. Again.
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “Sixth reason for T. God is ‘TORCHES. yes i like their personality very cool i enjoyed seeing them’.”
Torch God makes a smiley face :). Before writing ‘KOE DO NOT CALL’
‘ME T. GOD’
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “aw ok”
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “Lastly, we have ‘i pitty you’.”
Torch God writes ‘THANKS’.
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “With that done, let’s see who got the most votes to spin!”
Drumroll, and…
Torch God received nine votes.
Artificer received eleven.
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “Artificer powers through with the higher vote count!”
Confetti falls from the ceiling.
Artificer: “Second time in a row… That’s probably a sign of something.”
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “Yeah, probably is. Time for your last two vote reasons! The first one is ‘she deserves it after all the shit she has to put up with actually OH and also my friends like rainworld so :tada: -the goober’.”
Artificer: “There is a horrendous amount of shit to put up with.”
Bill Cipher: “Guilty as charged!”
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “And, the true final one is ‘I’m biased as shit, we vibe. Anyways uhhhh five pebbles in the house AUFHSBQBA AZBXBDHSSNANZNXBCHCHDHFH RAAAAGH -paleskowitz’.”
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “Time for you to get over to that wheel, Artificer!”
Artificer walks over to the Incredible Wheel of Luck and spins it, landing on…
‘One-time return to start’
Artificer: “What’s that supposed to mean?”
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “You’ll find out when the challenge happens. For now, let’s get to the elimination votes!”
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “First safe are Artificer and Torch God with no votes! That’s surely not a coincidence.”
Koe tosses 3-balls at Artificer and Torch God. Artificer catches her and drops it to the floor while Torch God avoids it.
Artificer: “What is this meant to be?”
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “It’s a 3-ball. I don’t think it exists where you come from so ya.”
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “Next safe are Plasma Ball and Plankton with two votes each!”
Koe throws a 3-ball at Plasma Ball, who manages to catch it, then goes to throw one to Plankton but just hits the chair instead since he forgot Plankton got thrown out a window.
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “...oh, right.”
Koe extends his hand out the window to grab Plankton and reels him into his seat.
Plankton: “Finally!-”
Koe then throws the 3-ball again, almost crushing Plankton.
Plankton: “Wh- WHY IMMEDIATELY AFTER?!”
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “I mean, I gotta give you your prize! So!”
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “Anyways vote reason time, starting with Plasma Ball - ‘Balls.’.”
Plasma Ball gives a blank expression.
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “Second is ‘two things: One. idk them, and two:”.”
The rest of the reason reads ‘THEY'RE POSSESED’, but it’s striked out.
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “...No second thing, huh. Well, whatever. Onto Plankton’s reasons! We first got ‘Whiny as f character, and the only thing you have going for you is the "feud" between you and nacho, which frankly has gone on for way too long. I'm sick of this.
-scav with internet access’.”
Plankton: “Calling me ‘whiny’ is just plain rude! Why not vote for the one who’s actually starting this?!”
Nacho: “It’s funny seeing you get these kinds of votes.”
Plankton: “Of course it is, you sociopath.”
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “Second for Plankton is ‘Him and Nacho just fight all the time and I figured I should vote for the smaller one (both figuratively and literally.) -Tayoga’.”
Plankton: “Another height joke?! Come on! At least be original!”
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “Now, next safe is the Knight, with three votes!”
Koe throws a 3-ball at Knight, who slashes it in half.
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “The one reason they received was ‘Knight actually started out as a pretty good character but has faded into obscurity and brings nothing new to the table anymore. They barely appear, and unlike Nacho, who also barely appears, they don't have any story relevance to help them since at least Nacho has the taunting with Plankton.’.”
The Knight gives an unamused expression.
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “With that said, we’re onto the final two - Bill and Nacho, the two triangles on the team!”
Spotlights shine on the two. Bill gives a cheeky look while Nacho rolls her eyes.
Bill Cipher: “Ha! Me getting out? You wish, losers!”
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “Well, we’ll have to wait and see what happens. Let’s get into their vote reasons, starting with Bill! - ‘Sir you are. A bitch. I would say you got your ass kicked by. A robot but honestly what even is N?? plus there are people here who have robots of a semi more deserving godly status (despite still being dickheads). Oh yeah anyways uh. Yeah if any of you want to cause him excruciating pain, go for the eye. If I recall right, it takes extra long to regenerate. Okay uh -paleskowitz signing off’.”
Artificer: “Well, that last part’s probably something we don’t want other teams to know.”
Bill Cipher: “Asshole- how could you just reveal that?!”
Plankton: “Says the guy who’s an asshole to us all the time!”
Bill Cipher: “Your opinion is not approved.”
Bill flicks Plankton off his seat and out the window again.
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “...Next is ‘‘you BASTARD
-zapper’.”
Bill Cipher: “Caught me red handed, ha ha!”
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “Then we have ‘motherfucker slash lighthearted joke except not really because he's an ass -the goober’.”
Bill Cipher: “Not gonna deny it!”
Artificer: “Of course you aren’t.”
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “Fourth reason is ‘Go. Away.’.”
Bill Cipher: “Oh, me getting eliminated? Try again next time!”
Torch God writes ‘WATCH HIM GET’
‘ELIMINATED ANYWAYS’
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “Fifth is ‘I like Artificer, Knight, and Nacho's respective series too much to vote for them, and I think that Plankton and Torch God kinda deserve to stick around. Plus, Plasma Ball's lore-relevant. Who does that leave? (It's Bill Cipher. I don't like Bill Cipher.)’.”
Artificer: “What is series meant to mean?”
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “I keep saying this but if you think about it too hard it hurts your brain so don’t worry, anyways next reason is… the long one again… ‘‘NullCommands here, back for another time I guess. I don't think this one requires a detection because Mr. Dollar Store Bill Cipher's here but I guess I'll try for the rest.
Artificer: seems to be fitting in a leader role, unlike some pyramid I could say. love her level-headedness so I'll give her a rating of not sus
Knight: to me they're rather stoic and humble, which I suppose is a better thing than being a lazy snot despite supposedly having god powers... now their attempt to pry information out of Plasma Ball might be seen as weird but personally I think being concerned about your friends is alright so I say it's not sus. (I'll get into Plasma Ball later)
Nacho: seems uncooperative with others, which is a problem if she wishes to get the others' support in the future. with that said, kinda sus
Plasma Ball: her distorted mental state is rather concerning; it could indicate that she isn't under control... a repeat of that situation can result in whoever that is manipulating things to hell and back. therefore, sus - and while eliminating the impostor among us is certainly a target with more priority if Plasma Ball doesn't recover by then I say we vote for her.
Plankton: sorry, I forgot you existed! but you do seem a little more caring of others than you are in your home world tho.
Torch God: probably the most unique character so far - I mean, they are a bunch of torches, plus the fact that they have been featured in a grand total of 0 other AO3 works. I would love to know their character more, but it seems their general tendency of, you know, thinking straight I guess they're not sus.
now that that's done I wanna explain this thing to King Julien so Koe could you get him here please? I'll wait.’.”
Koe’s hand stretches out of the room to get King Julien. Meanwhile, Torch God writes ‘WHAT IS AN AO3’.
Bill Cipher: “Wouldn’t you like to know?”
Torch God writes ‘YES, ACTUALLY’
Bill Cipher: “Too bad.”
Torch God makes a :| face. At the same time, Koe drags in King Julien.
King Julien: “Oh, hello other team! Do you happen to know why I’m here?”
Artificer: “I think a voting reason wanted you here, I wasn’t paying attention for most of it, admittedly.”
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “Artificer is correct! I’m supposed to read this last part of the reason out to him - ‘alright so since you asked about EoD I'm going to answer that right now. Elemental on Discord is just a simple alchemy game - like all alchemy games you can combine elements to make more elements. the difference between EoD and most games of the genre is that you can suggest your own elements to be added to the game! oh and you play through Discord chat not visual graphics. anyway as you have probably guessed by this point the reason I'm bringing this up is because once again today's sus detection is sponsored by Elemental on Discord!
currently over 1400 people have joined EoD's official Discord server, and it's one of the most impressive and content-packed Discord games with detailed information for each element, intuitive controls and smooth performance! starting from only Air, Earth, Fire, and Water, you can create many interesting, lore-filled, and sometimes horny elements out of over 670000 elements and counting in up to 18 play channels including the fabled play7! you can even leave your own mark on the server by suggesting new elements! all the elements in the game can be customized with unique signatures, images and colours that give an element its unique flair! the mechanics of the game are also very useful and one-of-a-kind, including queries, paths, and categories like "damen what the fuck" and figuring out the perfect combination of attributes is part of the fun! with over 25+4i reviews like "eod changed my life tbh", "my no-eod past was changed", "now i eat eod, drink eod, bathe in eod, sleep with eod", "my life is just so much better with eod ☺️" and "EoD fucked me and left my rotting Carcass scattered across the four Corners of the Earth. My soul weeps, it rattles and shivers in Fear, the Trials and Tribulations our almighty God has done unto me have utterly shaken me to my very Core. How could such a merciful God allow this? What Sin o' Lord? That we deserve such cruel Punishment. Abandon all Hope, ye' who enter Here. And know this, that when the Time comes, we shall all be consumed by the Wrath of this Server, piled upon Layers upon Layers of wretched Emissions and Filth, we are but Slaves to this Machine. May God save us all. 7/10 Rewrite sucks but it's still playable.", EoD has almost a perfect score on top.gg! the community is very friendly and trans-welcoming (perhaps even trans-inducing!) and highly anticipated ultimate elements are being created; you might even find my ultimates and elements out there! so what are you waiting for? join the server using this invite: https://discord.gg/jHeqgdM and you'll get free introductions and community support as part of the new player program to start your journey! good luck and I'll see you there!’.”
King Julien: “Ah, I see!”
Artificer: “...Many things about that were concerning.”
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “Yeah that happens don’t worry about it. I’m used to the ad’s oddity at this point.”
Koe picks up King Julien and moves him out of the room.
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “Let’s move on from that and get to reason seven! - ‘he’s still being useless
also he’s in ECERA and he’s way more fun there
- sad’.”
Bill Cipher: “Look, kid, I don’t want to be here either, but if I gotta be then I’m gonna do the best I can! And by the best I can I mean make people do all the work.”
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “Next is ‘Bill god damn it. Bill you already disappointed some of us by dying to the absolute solver controlling N… a little disappointed in your performance as a whole. You are obviously weaker than before, pfft… well it’s makes sense because you died in that fire and revived by that giant pink amphibian with the consequences of being weaker than before. Imagine getting defeated by just your ignorance, you were so close to accomplishing your goal. I pity you Bill Cypher, but not enough to not vote for you to be put up for elimination. - Kairos is disappointed.’.”
Artificer: “The fact that you’ve died before surprises me. Especially to fire.”
Bill Cipher: “Good! I shouldn’t be able to die in the FIRST PLACE, but this one little prick pulled a fast one on me!”
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “Then we have ‘Dorito, Nacho. Thats all’.”
Bill Cipher: “I am not a dorito, you foolish mortal people!”
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “Next is ‘nacho looks better than you. you look like a failed nacho cosplay. also i missed last voting despite the fact my favorite character was there :( -para’.”
Nacho: “Ha.”
Bill tries flicking Nacho out the window, but Nacho avoids it.
Nacho: “Nice try.”
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “Last reason is once again, a long one, and is pretty much just about Profily wow - ‘ok, im gonna try to make this atleast slightly relevant to the chapter!!! most of this is gonna be about profily cause they are profily
Blocky: “I’ve got just the thing for that!” BLOCKY I LOVE U
Profily: “I’m so excited to see what these guys made for us!” HOLY SHIT ITS PROFILY?!?!?!?! OMGOMGOMGOGMGMGOMG PROFILYYYYY
Profily: “Koe-man, could you mayhaps not shout into that next time? My nonexistent ears would be hurting right now if they could!” I AGREE WITH PROFILY HERE!!!!!!!!!
Profily: “How about…”
Profily points at IDIOT.
Profily: “Those people? They seem pretty nice to me!” AAAAAAAAA IF PROFILY LIKES THAT TEAM THEN I LIKE THATTEAM!!
Profily: “Hey, you never know until you try it! …Unless you magically can know before you try it! I don’t think anyone can do that, though.” PROFILY I LOVR YOU YOU GOOFY SILLY GOOBER
Profily: “Bland? It was pretty varied in taste, my dear friend Ixol!” I AGREE!!
Profily: “:(“
Profily: “Oh, right, rating! 10/10!” I ALSO GIVE IT A 10/10!!! ALSO NO DONT BE SAD IM GONNA HUNT IXOL DOWN.
Profily: “Woah!” WOWIE!!
Profily: “Agreed! 10/10!” 10/10 ASWELL THEN!!!
Profily: “I’ve never heard of these before, but they sound yummy!” THEY ARE VERY!!!
Profily: “8/10! It was pretty good, but I think there’s some room for improvement!” YES THERE IS!!!!
Profily: “I think it’s called curry. I dunno, read about it in a magazine once.” CORRECT!!! YOU'RE SO SO SO SMART PROFILY!!!
Profily: “I think it was nice! 9/10.” VERY NICE!!! 9/10 THEN :33
Profily: “10/10! I can already tell it’s Yellow Face brand, and he makes some of the best food I’ve ever had!” SUDDENLY I LOVE YELLOW FACE
Profily: “Sorry, but I gotta give a 6/10… it was just off, y’know?” YEAH!!!
Profily: “It might still taste good! You don’t judge a book by its cover, y’know! Or, well, a cake by its cover. Cakes don’t have covers, but…” my bad....i eated the cake covers...
Profily: “Knew it!” TOTALLY!!!
Profily takes their slice of cake next.
Profily: “Mmm, tastes good-”
Profily gets spaced out by the sheer amount of sugar within. Nanobot taps them, visibly concerned.
Profily: “I can hear colors now.” WHAT THE FUCK DID THEY DO WHAT...PROFILY R U OK :((
Profily: “...8/10.” THEN I ALSO GIVE IT AN 8/10!!!
Profily: “Yeah, I’d prefer not eating our competitor buddy!” CANNIBALISM IS BAD GAYS!!!
Profily: “Noooo! The weird cake! This is so sad!” SO SAD....:(((
Profily: “I don’t mean to be rude, but this… this isn’t very good.” YEAHGGH
Profily: “I think we should just give this a 0/40????” YES
okay warning to the author, if profily speaks in any chapter i will go insane /pos PLEASE ADD THEM TO THR GAME IM BEGGING I NEED MORE PROFILY CONTENT ON AO3 PLEASEPLEASPLZPLZPLZPLZ - starry/zee :3’.”
Authors note maybe profily will reappear later on!!! Who knows
anyways Torch God writes ‘WOW THATS’
‘A LOT’
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “Yep! It’s Profily, gotta expect that.”
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “Now, with Bill’s votes done, we go onto Nacho’s, starting with ‘Just plain annoying’.”
Nacho: “Okay.”
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “Then we have ‘Nacho, you took things too far. Bill, if you survive this challenge, please at least contribute, I really want you to stay in but you’re acting too unpleasant, NOBODY LIKES EVIL GODS THAT DON’T HELP LOOK WHAT HAPPENED TO HYEHEHE - ADAGE’.”
Nacho: “Okay.”
Bill Cipher: “To think I’ll suffer the same fate as that horrid hyena is just stupid, y’know!”
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “Third is ‘You're the reason your team is on the chopping block
Tiiiiiiiissssss I the lore guy i am here todays fun fact is:
Fun fact about The Knight:
No cost too great.
No mind to think.
No will to break.
No voice to cry suffering.
Born of God and Void.
You shall seal the blinding light that plagues their dreams.
You are the Vessel.
You are the Hollow Knight.’.”
Nacho: “Okay.”
Torch God writes ‘WHAT DOES THAT’
‘LAST PART MEAN’. The Knight gives a simple nod as an answer, prompting Torch God to form into question marks.
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “Then we have ‘nomally wouldnt vote out an object but dude you ruined a perfect good yoylecake.
criminal.
(waits for IDIOT to go up for elimination so i can possibly torture test tube with exp21 joke in case fan had read ii fanfics with her DONT TELL HER THO)
- Ember Nyxtical (EmberTheAlphaWolf)’.”
Alongside that, there was ‘also lamb is like mind-controlling plasma ball like the BITCH they are. get out of plasma ball's MIND YOU FUCKING BITCHASS SHITHEAD JHFDSFGSHD i wanna commit 1st degree murder’, but it’s been marked out by Lamb.
Nacho: “Okay.”
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “...Are you going to say okay to every single vote reason you get?”
Nacho: “It’s not like I have to say anything else.”
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “...Touché.”
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “Fifth reason is ‘Shade: So uhhhhh... what the fuck exactly was your plan bud? Ruin everything for everyone just because and fucking get eliminated? Fucking genious of the year right here folks (you stupid fucking idiot).
Lumina: Also, since some other voters are taking a shot at this, might as well get the chance to rant about something, the other triangle bitch, Bill.
The fuck are you exactly doing Cipher? You have kaleidoscopic vision, you can rearange reality at your will, for god's sake you have the biggest chance to win the entire game! And you'd rather sit on your butt like the man that literally punched you to death! I think I'm starting to see why you fail so often, so either get off your ass, or you'll end up praying to the Axolotl again real soon.’.”
Nacho: “Okay.”
Bill Cipher: “Wow, what a speech. Too bad I don’t care about anyone’s opinions! Ha!”
Torch God writes ‘BUT YOU’RE SUPPOSED’
‘TO CARE BECAUSE’
‘IF VIEWERS DONT’
‘LIKE YOU THEN’
‘YOURE VOTED OUT’
Bill Cipher: “Psh, as if.”
Torch God writes ‘SURE, BELIEVE’
‘IN YOUR OWN’
‘FANTASIES IG’
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “Next is ‘if you eat chips is it cannibalism -bob’.”
Nacho: “Okay.”
Silence.
Nacho: “Also probably.”
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “Then we have ‘Nacho you are a piece of shit.
Hay plankton can you please remove the cheese from Nochos head and if you can’t do it can Artificer or bill do it please.’”
Nacho: “Okay.”
Nacho: “Also Plankton isn’t here to hear that.”
Artificer: “I’m not risking anything by doing that.”
Bill Cipher: “But I will!”
Bill tries to smack the cheese off Nacho’s head, but instead just throws her chair into the wall. Nacho blinks coldly at Bill.
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “...Lastly, I think I’ll just speed through all the ones Nacho is going to just say okay to… ‘How thE fuck do you mess up on a cake that badly sorry but you gotta go’
‘cheesy. not french (yet). a menace, but also a good one.’
‘They messed everything up and probably would continue to do so’
‘Just an unlikable personality... she finally gets her chance to shine and spends it being a challenge-throwing contrarian. Hopefully Plankton gets to do more without someone arguing with him all the time.’.”
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “Now, let’s see who’s eliminated.”
Bill Cipher: “It’s obvious that this little chip over here is out, I’m Bill Cipher! I’m not going to be eliminated from this sho-”
Nacho has fourteen votes.
Bill has sixteen.
Bill Cipher: “...”
Bill Cipher: “Recount.”
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “No, trust me, this is the vote count you received. Final vote reasons, I’m gonna speedrun them, we got ‘more like the bill of rights because *several overlapping sounds*’, ‘Bill cipher! Big bully :( (ಠ_ಠ)’, ‘Bill Cipher is a lazy jerk who is a waste of space.’, and ‘there over used in character elimanations’-”
Bill gets visibly angry, turning larger and red…der.
Bill Cipher: “You’re not going to get rid of me! I’m going to win this competition, and you don’t have a say in the matter! YOU CANNOT STOP ME-”
Koe nonchalantly contains Bill in the THoE.
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “Nuh uh.”
Artificer: “Well, that giant asshole’s gone. That’s good.”
The Knight nods in agreement, while Plasma Ball gives a thumbs up. Torch God writes ‘IF ONLY HE’
‘WAS ACTUALLY’
‘A TEAM PLAYER’
‘HE COULD’VE BEEN’
‘VERY USEFUL’. And meanwhile, Nacho just gives her normal uninterested face.
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “Well, now that he’s gone, time to head out to the challenge, everyone!”
NNIT heads outside. Cut to… well, outside.
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “Alright, everyone, it’s time for our eighth challenge! This time, you’ll be participating in a parkour course, where you’ll have to jump and avoid falls and traps to get to the end! The team with the least number of members that have reached the end will be up for elimination. There are some extra restrictions I’m putting in place for this challenge as well. Flyers will have their flight limited…”
Pan to Squid looking irritated while N frowns.
Squid: “You’ve got to be kidding me.”
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “...and teleporting isn’t allowed.”
Pan to Enderman, who lets out an annoyed sound.
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “Though, I’m also excusing Flowey, Torch God, Tree-y, and Wheatley from this contest, since they’re physically unable to do the challenge.”
Pan to the mentioned four. Torch God makes a smiley face.
Wheatley: “Hooray!”
Tree-y: “♪ i am very glad and i wont be sad ♪”
Flowey: “Well, I’m not! I’d rather be in a challenge that I can’t do than get excused from any challenge.”
Pan to Test Tube.
Test Tube: “Wait, Koe, how will that affect the numbers needed? If a team has all of its present members at the end, but it has excused members and the rest of the teams have more at the end, will they still be up for elimination?”
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “No, of course not! Excused members don’t count towards the total! I’m not the type of host that does that, I try to be as good as possible, I’m not rude!”
Test Tube: “...Makes sense.”
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “Anyways, challenge starts now!”
Koe snaps, and the non-excused contestants are teleported to the parkour course. Immediately, everyone starts running, except for Squid who is very uncomfortable about the fact that he’s not flying and instead levitating.
Squid: “This feels wrong on so many levels.”
The first to fall is Red, who trips and plummets down below. Blocky laughs, before getting a glare from Sundew, causing him to stop.
Blocky: “Aw, come on, it was funny!”
Sundew: “He’s our teammate, that’s one less point towards us winning, which puts us more at risk. And I don’t see Squid coming with us anytime soon, so it’s practically just us and Nikoly working to get to the end. I’d be surprised if we even won this challenge at this point, but we might as well try .”
Blocky: “Alright, fine, whatever. I’ll prank other teams, then!”
Blocky pulls out a video camera while jumping over platforms.
Blocky: “Hey guys, for a prank, secretly install pistons that shove off the opposing team!”
As Blocky says this, the Knight is seen being flung from a platform to the void.
Blocky: “See? It works completely!”
Sundew: “I don’t think anybody was doubting that.”
Blocky: “You never know with the fans, Sundew!”
Cut to Blue easily getting through the parkour. Behind him, the rest of IDIOT is super slow and inefficient. He turns around to see them, and looks confused.
Science Bear: “Admittedly, I don’t tend to do much physical activity, so I’m not well-fit for this type of challenge. From a general standpoint, we’re much less physically capable than you are.”
Blue accepts this answer, and then scratches his chin while thinking of a way to get the other IDIOT members through quicker. Suddenly, he gets an idea, and pulls out two boats. He then quickly explains the plan - four people can get in the boats and Blue can hold them while parkouring.
Test Tube: “Great idea, Blue!”
Warrior: “Yeah, let’s do it!”
Charles: “Wait, but then that means two people are gonna have to go on their own-”
Charlie the Unicorn: “You four can go. Me and Enderman will be fine.”
Enderman nods in agreement with Charlie’s proposal. Blue gives a thumbs up as Charles, Science Bear, Test Tube, and Warrior all jump over to him and get in the boats. Blue then picks them up and starts running off.
Charlie the Unicorn: “...On second thought, maybe I should’ve gone in. It’s too late, though… of course.”
Enderman shrugs in a ‘sucks, man’ way, before continuing onwards. Cut to Ploque trying to fix her face, to no avail, while the rest of RCoKJ continues onwards. King Julien stops in his tracks once realizing that Ploque isn’t going, and jumps back.
King Julien: “Hey, what’s the hold up, Ploque? We gotta go!”
Ploque: “Currently my face is-”
Ploque coughs.
Ploque: “Not in a good state. Trying to fix it.”
King Julien: “Well, I’m sure whatever it is will be fine! You can deal with it once we’re done here.”
Ploque: “I wouldn’t be too sure of that…”
King Julien: “Nonsense! How bad could it be?”
Ploque shows her face. Ooooooooooof that’s bad.
King Julien: “...I stand corrected on that front! But still, I think we’ll finish this challenge quickly enough that you can focus on it afterwards!-”
Nikoly shoves King Julien out of the way and into the void.
Nikoly: “Comin’ through, everyone!”
Ploque (metaphorically) blinks, before sighing and just dealing with going. Cut to Artificer, Plankton, and Plasma Ball getting through the course.
Artificer: “This is just great . Nacho’s hanging out at the start, the Knight got flung into the void by Blocky of all people, and Torch God can’t even compete. Could this get any worse?”
Plasma Ball?: “That sounds like you’re about to jinx us! Not very good!”
Artificer: “...That wasn’t my intention, but yeah I’ve probably doomed us.”
Artificer dashes forward, but smacks into a wall and slides down into the void.
Plankton: “Well, great! Now she’s gone!”
Plasma Ball?: “That’s sad.”
However, Artificer appears back at start.
Artificer: “...Okay, I guess that’s what ‘one-time return to start’ meant. Well, I’m not complaining-”
Squid: “Shut up and leave before I smack you off myself.”
Artificer: “Alright, geez, just because I’m standing here doesn’t mean you have to go off on me.”
Artificer leaps back to where Plankton and Plasma Ball are.
Plankton: “For this jump you’re probably going to have to hold me- OH NEPTUNE HOW ARE YOU BACK?!”
Artificer: “That’s what the prize from the wheel did.”
Plasma Ball?: “Cool, let’s keep going now!”
The three continue onwards. Cut to N and Pizza Steve easily getting through.
N: “Wow, this is a breeze! Nice refresher from the previous challenges, too.”
Pizza Steve: “You got that right, bro. Wonder how the others are doing, though!”
Pan to the rest of the team… very much failing. Amelia, Kris, and Stanley keep having to catch each other from falling.
This is, I must admit, pretty pathetic- ‘Speak for yourself’? What do you want me to do, Stanley? I can’t physically interact with anything. Oh yes, just somehow magically being corporeal? As if!
Amelia: “This isn’t… working very well…”
Kris nods, before thinking for a moment… they suddenly get an idea. As Rocket runs by, Kris snatches his rocket launcher, and grabs Amelia and Stanley before using it to propel the trio through the course.
Amelia: “Too fast- Kris hold on- can we take a break-”
Even I’m getting dazed, and I’m not the one being physically dragged through this!
Kris obliges, landing on a platform not far from the end.
Amelia: “I need to… I need to catch my breath for a moment.”
Kris nods. Cut back to N and Pizza Steve.
N: “I’m sure they’re doing well!”
Pizza Steve: “Hope so.”
Pan back to Rocket, who frowns since he’s lost his rocket launcher.
Rocket: “Aw…”
Spider-Ham pats Rocket on the back.
Spider-Ham: “Don’t worry, kid, we’ll get it back!”
Cut to Blue carrying the boats holding Charles, Science Bear, Test Tube, and Warrior. Charles and Warrior are chatting with each other while Science Bear relaxes and Test Tube peers over the side of the boat.
Test Tube: “Hey Blue, how far do you think we are?”
Blue seems to think for a moment, before approximating about halfway.
Test Tube: “That’s good! Maybe we’ll get lucky and reach the end first? Considering the other teams, there’s at least a 61.429% chance that we’ll get there!”
Blue nods in agreement, not really understanding the percentage part but pretending to in order to make Test Tube happy. As he continues onwards, there’s a roadblock - in the literal sense. Blocky and Sundew have gotten in front of Blue, and Blocky clearly has malicious intent.
Blocky: “Oh, this is just great! I can take out five people at once!”
Blue drops the boats on the ground, and gets into a fighting stance.
Blocky: “It’s on, circlehead!”
Blue and Blocky start fighting, though Blocky manages to get the upper hand and corners Blue at the edge, kicking him off. Blue grabs onto the ledge, though.
Blocky: “It’s the end of the line for you! Then I’ll prank the rest of your team, sending them into the abyss! And there’s nothing you can do about it, ha ha ha!-”
Blue grabs onto Blocky’s legs, falling while also taking the block with him.
Blocky: “AHHHHHHH-”
Blue and Blocky disappear into the void.
Sundew: “That was just sad, honestly.”
Sundew turns to the four IDIOT members in the boats.
Sundew: “You guys have five seconds before I send you flying off here, I’m not going to hesitate at all.”
Warrior takes out his sword and points it at Sundew.
Warrior: “Nuh uh! I’m not going to go down without a fight, fiend!-”
Sundew flicks Warrior off into the void.
Science Bear: “...Duly noted. Let’s head off now.”
Charles, Science Bear, and Test Tube all start hopping away to escape Sundew’s wrath. Cut to Squid and Nacho at the start.
Squid: “Why the hell are you still here? You’re not in an awkward position like me.”
Nacho: “Lazy.”
Squid: “...”
Squid: “You’re dumber than I thought.”
Nacho: “I know.”
Squid blinks.
Squid: “I’m genuinely not sure how to respond to that. You are an enigma.”
Nacho: “As intended.”
Nacho hops off the side and flings herself towards the end by sheer willpower. …Okay then.
Squid: “...That reminds me that I should try to actually go now. Standing around here isn’t going to do anything, especially if the host tries to pull some ‘shrinking arena’ type shit.”
Squid tries heading off, but ends up falling into the void instead.
Squid: “God fucking dammit-”
Cut to Charlie and Enderman casually hopping across platforms, albeit slowly.
Charlie the Unicorn: “Yeah, I would’ve preferred taking the easy way out. I don’t even know why I said that.”
Enderman nods in understanding, as they cross over a gap. They’re about to pass to another one when they stop in their tracks, also pausing Charlie’s movement.
Charlie the Unicorn: “What’s the hold up?-”
Somehow, Nacho is flung by the two, flying all the way to the end. If it wasn’t for Enderman stopping themselves and Charlie, they would’ve ended up in her path.
Charlie the Unicorn: “I see. Hmph.”
Charlie the Unicorn: “Well, I suppose I can say thanks for that… Eugh, sounds weird actually being able to thank someone for once. Usually I just get traumatized by whoever I meet.”
Enderman gives a pat of sympathy before continuing onwards. Cut to Koe, sitting at the end. Nacho and the trio of Amelia, Kris, and Stanley (oh, and the Narrator too, I guess.) reach it at the same time.
‘I guess’ Well, screw you too, whoever you are.
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “Congrats, you four! You’re the first ones to reach the end!”
Kris writes ‘do we get anything special for that or’
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “No, it’s just a cool feat.”
Kris stares blankly at Koe.
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “What? I’m not gonna pass out stuff every time!”
Koe teleports the quartet away. Cut to Artificer, Plankton, and Plasma Ball.
Artificer: “I’m surprised Blocky or his goons haven’t tried attacking us yet. You’d think by now they’d go like ‘Haha! Fuck you guys! We’re gonna beat you up now!’. Especially since now that Bill’s gone, they have nothing to fear.”
Plankton: “Have you forgotten about Blocky flinging that Knight person into oblivion?!”
Artificer: “The mechanism he used was meant to work on anyone, so I’m not counting that.”
The three NNIT members continue onwards, until Plasma Ball is about to jump, when Science Bear knocks into her, sending her flying over and Science Bear and Plankton into the void. Charles and Test Tube look at each other concernedly, then turn to Artificer and the newly-cracked Plasma Ball. Artificer stares back.
Test Tube: “Oh, geeberweezer, he- he didn’t mean to bump into Plasma Ball! We’re sorry!-”
Artificer: “I was assuming it was an accident anyways. You’re fine.”
Test Tube sighs in relief.
Charles: “So, uh, we cool?”
Artificer: “Sure.”
Charles: “Nice. We’re, uh, gonna go now.”
Charles and Test Tube run past Artificer and Plasma Ball. Artificer turns to her last remaining teammate.
Artificer: “Did you die, or are you just playing dead.”
Plasma Ball gets up.
Plasma Ball?: “Ugh… head hurts…”
Plasma Ball holds her hand up to her head.
Plasma Ball?: “Having a major headache.”
Artificer: “Well, I guess I’ll have to haul you along. Let’s just hope nobody screws us up.”
Artificer picks up Plasma Ball and continues onwards. Cut to Ploque, watching literally everyone on her team - save for Lamb, who’s behind everyone else - fail a jump.
Ploque: “I’m not even sure how disappointed I should feel right now!”
Ploque finishes the jump easily, then feels a sudden surge of immense pain.
Ploque: “JESUS FUCKING CHRIST, OW-”
Ploque holds her head. Lamb finally catches up, and sees her, noting the lack of literally everyone else.
Lamb: “You look disheveled.”
Ploque: “YOU THINK?!”
Lamb: “Calm down. I don’t see why you’re getting aggressive over a simple comment.”
Ploque: “Oh, sorry, your fucking highness, but how am I supposed to react when first I get forced into a position I don’t want on a team I never wanted to be on, THEN get smacked in the head by a ball and have my face slammed into a door, THEN have this massive fucking pain in EVERY. SINGLE. BONE. IN MY BODY. ”
Lamb blinks, slightly taken aback by Ploque’s outburst, but quickly regains composure.
Lamb: “I’m not how you expect yelling is going to fix that.”
Lamb leaps over, then walks past Ploque.
Lamb: “I’ll see you at the end… If you can even reach it at this point, which I frankly doubt-”
A saw just barely hits Lamb in the head. Said saw flies all the way to the end. Ploque glares at Lamb angrily, before the saw reels her in.
Lamb: “Hm. I guess I must’ve underestimated her.”
At the end, Ploque gets up, going back to holding her head in pain.
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “Congrats, you’re the fifth person to reach the end-”
Ploque: “Just send me back already. Please .”
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “...Okay, grumpypants.”
Koe snaps Ploque away. Cut to N and Pizza Steve.
N: “Alright, so, I got a cool idea!- once the challenge is over, of course. How about we make an alliance with IDIOT?”
Pizza Steve: “Hmm.”
N and Pizza Steve leap over to a platform.
Pizza Steve: “Sounds good to me! We’ll have to ask the other dudes first though.”
N: “I… kinda forgot about that, heh heh!”
The two continue for a bit, before Pizza Steve has an idea.
Pizza Steve: “Hey, you know how we saw the rest of our teammates use a rocket to bounce all the way to the end?”
N: “Yep!”
Pizza Steve: “And you’ve got, like, a bunch of weapons in your hands or something?”
N: “Yep!”
Pizza Steve: “So how about we go use your hand rockets to boost ourselves to the end quick and easy?”
N: “Hm…”
N: “Sure! I love doing anything!”
Pizza Steve: “Gnarly! Let’s go!”
Pizza Steve hops onto N, who switches one of his hands out for a rocket launcher. He then rocketjumps all the way to the end.
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “Wow, the entirety of Cool Friends used the same tactic… So they’re all safe, getting them the spot of first team with confirmed immunity! Oh, also, you guys got sixth and seventh.”
Koe sends away N and Pizza Steve. Sundew then arrives.
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “And then we have our eighth end-reacher! Good job!”
Sundew: “Yeah, yeah, whatever, quit the fanfare, just let me go already.”
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “Dang, people are feisty today.”
Koe teleports away Sundew. Cut to Charles and Test Tube.
Charles: “How long do you think we have left?”
Test Tube: “I’d say approximately 10 minutes!”
Charles: “That’s… shorter than I expected, honestly!”
Charles: “Y’know, considering all the setbacks we’ve had so far…”
Test Tube: “Well, they really didn’t add on much time. If anything, it’s probably more worth worrying about… the fact that we might be the last two on our team…”
Test Tube frowns.
Test Tube: “Oh no.”
Charles: “We’re so doomed!”
Nikoly appears behind the two inexplicably.
Nikoly: “Doomed, you say? How about I make that true!”
Before either IDIOT-er can react, Nikoly sends them flying with a scythe.
Nikoly: “Nice.”
Cut to Artificer and Plasma Ball, who have just reached the end.
Artificer: “That was the least fun experience I’ve had in a while.”
Artificer drops Plasma Ball on the ground softly.
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “Good job, NNITers! You’ve earned yourselves ninth and tenth.”
Artificer: “Whoop-de-doo. Hooray. Let us go now.”
Plasma Ball?: “Yea, I agree with Artificer…”
Koe sends away Artificer and Plasma Ball. Cut to Lamb, who hops along some platforms, before ending up right behind Nikoly. Under the impression that Nikoly is the only one still in besides himself, Lamb pulls out his sword and prepares to strike, but Nikoly notices and blocks with his scythe.
Nikoly: “A challenger, I see! Watch out, cause I’ll win once again!”
Lamb: “You only won because of lower stakes. Watch me beat you into the ground like a pulp.”
Nikoly and Lamb begin fighting. Meanwhile, Charlie and Enderman are still hopping along platforms.
Charlie the Unicorn: “You saw those boats back there, right?”
Enderman nods.
Charlie the Unicorn: “I’m pretty sure those were the ones Blue had. Which means that… He’s most likely gone. Our other teammates are probably dead as well.”
Enderman seems to acknowledge this solemnly.
Charlie the Unicorn: “I swear to god, if we fail this challenge…”
Charlie looks up ahead, seeing Nikoly and Lamb brawl.
Charlie the Unicorn: “You have got to be kidding me.”
Enderman frowns. Meanwhile, Nikoly and Lamb continue to fight when they both catch a glance of the IDIOT members. An idea strikes both of them… These are the only people left from IDIOT. Take them out? Easy win for BFDI AND RCoKJ, and IDIOT goes up for elimination. It’s a perfect plan. Therefore, the two previously-fighting contestants immediately launch ranged attacks onto Charlie and Enderman.
Charlie the Unicorn: “Are you serious right now-”
Charlie is struck by an Espacoin, sending him into the abyss. Enderman dodges a multitude of attacks, but ends up getting struck in the gut by Lamb’s Hounds of Fate and gets slammed against a wall, sliding down into the depths.
Lamb: “Hm. I commend your abilities, Nikoly. I have a proposal for you later today.”
Nikoly: “Sounds sick! Let’s leave this dump now and finish up this challenge!”
Nikoly and Lamb leave to the end no longer as rivals, but instead… well. On good terms, at the least.
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “Lamb! Nikoly! You two have finished the challenge last, getting eleventh and twelfth!”
Nikoly: “Isn’t that the rankings of BFDI 12’s challenge?”
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “I’m not going to question how you know that but yes. Anyways-”
Koe teleports himself, Lamb, and Nikoly out, also bringing everyone else.
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “Alright, folks! Time to reveal the scores!”
A holographic screen pops up next to Koe.
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “In first place, we have Cool Friends, reaching 5/5!”
Flowey: “Wow, you guys actually managed to do that? I was honestly expecting half of you to fuck up.”
Wheatley: “That’s not nice, Flowey!”
Flowey: “As if I was ever nice to begin with .”
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “Second is Not Naming It That, with 3/5!”
Nacho: “Okay.”
Artificer: “Please don’t start this again.”
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “Then, in third, we have Blocky's Funny Doings International with 2/5.”
Nikoly: “Woooo! Yeah!”
Tree-y: “♪ i am a tree and i’m filled with glee ♪”
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “The last team to be safe is…”
Suspension rises between IDIOT and RCoKJ, minus Charlie, Enderman, and Lamb, who all already know the outcome.
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “Royal Circle of King Julien, with 2/7!”
Ploque: “Cool. I’m going to go lay down before I collapse.”
Ploque walks off.
Rocket: “She doesn’t seem to be doing well…”
King Julien: “It’s best we let her rest, Rocket! Maybe by tomorrow she’ll be feeling better! We do have an important meeting, after all.”
Pan to IDIOT.
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “You guys got a big fat 0/7.”
Blue would frown if he had a mouth. Test Tube pats Blue on the back.
Test Tube: “Well, at least we tried our best!”
Charlie the Unicorn: “What’s the point in trying your best if we just fail anyways? I’d hardly count that as such, anyways.”
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “So viewers! Go and vote for one of the members of IDIOT! With the poll below!”
VOTING LINK: [ENDED]
Enderman and Red are seen in the Skeld recreation.
Red: “I kinda just… died at the start of the challenge. I feel like a complete disappointment! Both to my team and in general…”
Enderman pats Red on the back, before placing a sign. It reads:
‘It’s okay, Red. Everyone has their ups and downs. You just got unlucky. Next time you’ll do better, I’m sure of it. And don’t worry about your teammates’ opinions of you, anyways. What do they know?’
Red: “...Thanks, Enderman.”
Enderman nods as a ‘you’re welcome’.
Chapter 9: Episode 9 - Spiral of Ants
Notes:
ok so this came out a lot later than originally intended because i had a sudden drop in motivation. but then it came back so here we are! hopefully you like the episode it's one of the longer ones so thats cool
(See the end of the chapter for more notes.)
Chapter Text
The episode starts with Squid pulling out a chalkboard in BFDI’s hallway as everyone else on the team - including Red, surprisingly - sits in the nearby area.
Blocky: “Surprised to see you made it, bean guy!”
Red: “I’m… only here because I have nowhere else to go today, honestly.”
Sundew: “You probably should’ve chosen any other activity.”
Squid: “Shut up, it’s plan time. Blocky, you still have your magic book, right?”
Blocky holds up said book.
Blocky: “Yep!”
Squid: “Now, if my calculations are correct…”
Squid somehow makes chalk float and write a plan on the chalkboard.
Squid: “We should be able to determine what every challenge is, and formulate a plan of action to win it.”
Nikoly: “Sounds like a plan! …Get it?”
Silence.
Nikoly: “Aw.”
Red: “I dunno, this seems like cheating.”
Blocky: “Hey, the screen man was the one who gave us the book in the first place, if he didn’t want us to do this then he shouldn’t’ve had it on the wheel!”
Tree-y: “♪ he has a point it shouldnt disappoint ♪”
Red: “I feel like it probably wasn’t meant for this reason, though, it ruins the whole surprise aspect!”
Squid: “If it was against the rules to do this, we would already be in trouble, now shut up because we’re going to actually start this. Blocky, begin.”
Blocky: “Alrighty! Magic book thing, what’s the challenge this time around?”
What the book says will remain a secret to you, but Blocky does say it to the rest of the team.
Nikoly: “Woo! We did it! Now we plan things!”
Squid: “Yes. Here’s what we do…”
Cut to the cafeteria, where RCoKJ is holding a meeting as per usual. Ploque has bandaged up her face.
Donkey: “Ay, man, you feelin’ better?”
Ploque: “As if. My face feels like it’s on fire. I’m just ignoring the pain now.”
Donkey: “Oof, that’s harsh.”
King Julien: “Alright, let’s get to all our important topics! First off, Lamb, any new citizens for our empire?”
Lamb: “I’ve successfully brought Charles, Nikoly, and Science Bear on board, meaning Cool Friends is the only team we do not have someone from. I am aiming to try and reach out to them sometime today or tomorrow, however.”
King Julien: “Nice! Now, next up, how are things going in advertising, Rocket?”
Rocket: “I put up this really cool banner in the lobby, I think people are gonna like it!”
Spider-Ham: “...By ‘really cool banner’, he means a piece of paper taped to the ceiling.”
Rocket: “Hey, it works well enough!”
Spider-Ham: “Yeah, but it’s not really a banner, is it?”
Ploque: “Banner or not, he still did something.”
Carl: “I agree with my buddy Ploque here!”
Ploque: “We are not even remotely buddies.”
King Julien: “Alright, alright, next thing…”
King Julien pulls out a list.
King Julien: “Hm, looks like that’s it, actually.”
Rocket: “Early break? Yay!”
Rocket runs off.
King Julien: “Well, he’s gone, but yes, we’re ending the meeting early. See you all in due time!”
King Julien struts off. The rest of the team heads off to do their own thing, except Ploque, who decides to just get some food instead.
Ploque: “...Stupid team. Stupid meetings. Stupid kingdom. Stupid head pain. Why do I have to be the victim of all this shit?”
Ploque groans, impulsively slamming her head into the counter.
Ploque: “OW, FUCK-”
Artificer peers into the cafeteria, then slowly slides away.
Artificer: “Well, that’s one thing I wouldn’t have expected to happen.”
Torch God writes ‘YEAH SAME’.
Artificer: “Probably best to wait a bit until getting lunch, as I’m not too keen on going past someone having a mental breakdown to do so.”
Torch God writes ‘THAT WAS A LOT’
‘OF WORDS BUT’
‘I AGREE’. Artificer and Torch God then walk down back to NNIT’s hall.
Artificer: “I must admit, it’s… weird, not having that idiotic triangle around.”
Torch God writes ‘WE STILL HAVE’
‘NACHO THO, WHO’
‘IS CLOSE ENOUGH’.
Artificer: “She may be annoying, sure, but at least she helps out some of the time. Bill was just an egotistical shithead.”
The two enter the hallway to see Plasma Ball laying dazed on the floor as Nacho prepares to throw Plankton off a makeshift tower and into a bucket of detergent. The Knight is trying to stop her, to no avail.
Artificer: “...”
Artificer: “I really shouldn’t be surprised.”
Torch God nonchalantly moves over to the tower and catches it on fire, burning it to ash and making Nacho fall and explode into chip pieces. Plankton lands unharmed.
Plankton: “That barnacle brain, what was she thinking?”
Torch God writes ‘DOES SHE EVEN THINK’. Knight nods no as a response.
Cut to CF, crowded around in one of the many rooms.
Wheatley: “So what is it you wanted to talk to us about, buds?”
Flowey: “Yeah, if you delay this any longer I’m going to slap both your faces to death.”
Amelia: “No need to be so harsh, Flowey…”
N: “And we were getting to it anyway!”
Kris writes ‘so then… what is it’
Pizza Steve: “So me and N got an idea that us as a team could make some sorta alliance with Cool Friends, we thought it’d be helpful for the competition!”
Flowey: “Sounds stupid.”
Kris stares at Flowey flatly, before turning to Pizza Steve and N and giving a thumbs up. Stanley follows suit.
I don’t see anything wrong with this idea, personally. Plus, isn’t that Blue fellow pretty powerful?
Amelia: “Sounds good to me…”
Wheatley: “And I approve of this too!”
N: “Nice, that’s pretty much everyone!”
Flowey gives an irritated expression.
Flowey: “Seriously? Am I the only one against this?”
Silence.
Flowey: “Fine. We can do this stupid alliance friendship thing, but if they make one move against us I can and will screw them up!”
Wheatley: “That’s pretty harsh, bud!”
Flowey: “Shut your British ass up.”
N: “Hey, come on, be nice!”
Flowey groans.
Flowey: “No.”
Finally, cut to the entirety of IDIOT. They’re all walking to the waiting room in silence… Eventually, Warrior decides to start some small talk.
Warrior: “So… nice weather today, right?”
Charlie glares at Warrior.
Charlie the Unicorn: “If you mean the feeling of doom in the air, then no. I do not. How am I supposed to think of nice things when the threat of being sent through an orb to who knows where is lingering behind my shoulder?”
Test Tube: “Charlie, it couldn’t be that bad!”
Science Bear: “Yes, the host himself told us that it wasn’t a painful experience.”
Charlie the Unicorn: “And you choose to believe our captor? Who kidnapped us from different dimensions ?”
The others fall silent.
Charlie the Unicorn: “That’s what I thought.”
More silence, for a moment.
Warrior: “Wow, you really know how to kill a mood…”
Charlie the Unicorn: “It’s a natural talent after having to deal with the most obnoxious people ever for who knows how many years.”
The team then gets to the waiting room.
Charlie the Unicorn: “Well, here we are. Time to see someone vanish by Koe’s hand and potentially never be seen again.”
Charles: “Should probably stop being a downer, Charlie… Doesn’t help the mood at all.”
Charlie ignores this, opening the door and bringing the team into the room. Koe enters a few moments later.
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “Alright, everybody, are you ready?”
Charlie the Unicorn: “Do you think we’re ready?”
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “Jeez, okay, no need to get feisty about it! Let’s just hippity hop in there and get the elimination going!”
Everyone walks into the elimination room.
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “So today we got thirty-two votes! That’s, like, half a Minecraft stack. Pretty funny. Anyways, spin votes, let’s see those first!”
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “First off, everyone received at least one vote, but Charlie the Unicorn and Science Bear only managed to get that single one.”
Charlie the Unicorn: “ Color me surprised. ”
Science Bear: “Unfortunate, but it isn’t much of a loss, frankly. And it is, at least, an improvement from last time.”
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “Shuddup nerd, anyways Charlie’s singular reason is ‘I feel bad for him.’”
Charlie shows no change in emotion.
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “And Science Bear’s reason is ‘because i USED TO have a severe bss addiction. anyways i love nerdy characters and since i figured test tube would be more popular and due to my bss phase i am voting for science bear. also im so sad my first vote wasnt for the team ploque and rocket are on im too lazy to find the name because i would gush abt how i love them both idk why im writing all of this i guess i should start marking my responses. IM SO SORRY THIS IS SO LONG - an average person’.”
Science Bear: “Well, I thank you for your vote, even if it didn’t do much in the end.”
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “Next to not spin are Charles and Warrior with just two each!”
Charles: “Aw…”
Warrior: “That’s pretty darn bad!”
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “Charles’s first vote reason is ‘He's chill. (Also, don't tell him about the Valiant Hero ending, he should not be subjected to that sadness.)’”
Charles: “...I’m… confused and also potentially frightful of what that means?”
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “His other reason is ‘It’s me the loooooor telling guy about dimensions and stuff
Blue is an animation made on a computer and has cool friends like green, orange, red, and yellow.
Charles is from a pretty normal world but it has a guy named Henry sikman (or stikmin I forget which one it is.) who can rewrite the timeline and do different things like befriend Charles or killing him for example and he has memories of all the timelines.
Charlie the unicorn is pretty normal but is constantly harassed by the other unicorns that you guys meet and gets traumatized a lot.
Enderman is from a blocky world called Minecraft full of strange creatures worlds and people. (Also for some reason the souls of people and creatures are usually harvested by people an uncomfortably large amount of the time.)
Science bear is from a world full of big bees and insects and it cool.
Test tube is from an average world with objects instead of people but her science stuff can get a bit fantastical at times.
Warrior wasn’t always a dice and instead a person but was transformed into the days in force to compete on a dangerous game show. (Which is also completely rigged against him and his fellow humans turned dice.)’.”
Science Bear: “I was not aware you used to be a human, Warrior.”
Warrior: “Yeah, I think it’s pretty much permanent that I’m a die now, but whatever! It’s cooler like this!”
Charles: “...Timeline rewriting?”
Charlie the Unicorn: “You already know what the host is going to say, Charles-”
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “Don’t think about it too hard.”
Charlie the Unicorn: “Knew it.”
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “Reason one for Warrior is ‘*ahem* definitely didn’t just vote for you to get eliminated no.’.”
Warrior: “Aw.”
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “And the other reason he received was ‘Cult’. Dunno what that means but ok.”
Charlie looks at Warrior.
Charlie the Unicorn: “Care to explain?”
Warrior stutters before Science Bear covers for him.
Science Bear: “Look, Charlie, it’s likely that this is an offhand remark. Remember, the things voters say aren’t always true.”
Charlie scoffs.
Charlie the Unicorn: “Sure, but if he starts doing anything freaky don’t come crawling back to me.”
Test Tube: “What’s gotten into you, Charlie? You seem more aggressive today than usual!”
Blue nods, also wondering.
Charlie the Unicorn: “None of your beeswax.”
Test Tube frowns, causing Blue to give a… technically-non-existent glare to Charlie.
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “Alrighty, next to not spin the wheel is Test Tube with three votes!”
Test Tube: “Aw, geeberweezer!”
Blue pats Test Tube on the back lightly.
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “The first vote reason given to Test Tube was ‘TESTY AESTY BESTY CESTY DESTY EESTY FESTY GESTY HESTY IESTY JESTY KESTY LESTY MESTY NESTY OESTY PESTY QESTY RESTY SESTY TESTY UESTY VESTY WESTY XESTY YESTY ZESTY TUBETTE;!! - starry :33’. Wow that’s a lot of -esty.”
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “Next is an interesting one for you guys - ‘you all know why. ily platonically test tube
alright things!!!! this is gonna be a long one.
- Blue, BigMinionD meant "created by an animator" in a meta way.
- man i feel so bad for u Test Tube, ur already being shipped with Science Bear. and i feel even worse for what im abt to do
- Test Tube, if Fan has made you read a certain fanfic with him i am SO SORRY but i have this wacky ass urge to make the joke.
BREAK ME OFF A PIECE OF THAT KITKAT BAR
if u still dont understand... "Then the room echoed with a snap."
... im so sorry
- Science Bear, your universe is a game. It is a literal, playable game on the gaming platform Roblox named Bee Swarm Simulator. The players are the beekeepers, the humanoids helping you and various others. sorry for the existential crisis
- warrior joined king julien's kingdom or whatever -_-
important thing coming up bc yeahhhhhhhh... in elim vote.
- Ember Nyxtical (EmberTheAlphaWolf)
also i omor’.”
Test Tube immediately grimaces, meanwhile Charlie raises an eyebrow at Science Bear.
Charlie the Unicorn: “You were saying?”
Science Bear: “Nothing tells that it’s a cult, Charlie.”
Charles: “Wait what was that about your universe being a game-”
Science Bear: “Cool down, Charles, I was already fully aware.”
Charles squints.
Charles: “...”
Charles: “How are you not traumatized by knowing that?”
Science Bear: “You get used to it after a while.”
Blue and Enderman both instantly pick up on the last part, and look at each other, wondering what may come.
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “Last reason is ‘she is so girlboss and cool!!!!!!!!! . and sciencebear aandblue too !!!!!!yes iknow im voting for testube bbut if icould vote for ljke two other people it would be blue science bear and testube . imso terribly sorry for the rest of idiot you guys are really cool too ipromise. im just incredibly biased in a lighthearted way . ALSO respect to blue for sacrificing themselves to kill blocky OH RIGHT iwas talking about testtube uhmm uh SHES ONE OF TGE BEST CONTESTANTS ON HERE AND INANINATE INSANITY (PREVIOUS SHOW SHE COMOETEED ON) BTW !!!!!!!!!okay bye now !!!!!! tgjs team iss very cool andiwish you all the best of luck -goober’.”
Blue gives a thumbs up.
Test Tube: “Thanks!”
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “Now, we get to the final two… Blue and Enderman! You guys were very close to tying, but one of you got just one less than the other. But who will it be? We’ll have to see - though I will say, one of you got eleven and the other got twelve!”
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “With that said, let’s get into vote reasons, starting with Blue’s - ‘Hey there blue! I wish you (all) luck in therest of the show! I'm sure your friends would too!
Also, for all of you, you can definetly trust Lamb. He's just greaaaaat. -Whisperer’.”
Charlie the Unicorn: “I can’t help but feel that’s sarcasm.”
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “Next is ‘he’s very silly’.”
le silly
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “Then we have ‘me when the traumatized addict is silly.’.”
Charles: “The huh?”
Blue simply nods, chewing on nether wart in the process.
Test Tube: “Never suspected that, that’s…”
Science Bear: “Sad. But, as far as studies show, surprisingly common.”
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “Fourth reason is ‘blue
-zapper’. Very informative.”
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “Fifth is ‘Has skills that are actually applicable.’.”
Enderman instantly looks offended.
Warrior: “Hey, c’mon, we’re not dead weight!”
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “Next is… uh… if I’m reading this right, meant to be a private message to Blue. Huh. Well, here ya go, stickster!”
Koe hands the vote reason card to Blue. He reads over it…
‘“Beware of the red eyed lamb, who brought god’s to their knees. Beware of the ones who were deceived, following their shepherd blindly. Beware of the cursed….” [connection cuts off] -Kairos’s cat stole their computer… meant for blue eye’s only.’
Blue stares at it for a moment, confused… before silently pocketing it.
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “Well, onto the next one then, with ‘you are pretty much the only one keeping this team afloat.’.”
Charlie the Unicorn: “I’m half-inclined to agree.”
Warrior: “Hey!”
Charlie the Unicorn: “Look, what have you done?”
Warrior: “I… uh…”
Warrior frowns, defeated.
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “Next is ‘Lumina: Yet again Blue being the MVP of the team, you go my dude!’.”
Charles: “It can’t just be me who sees a running theme here, right?”
Science Bear: “Well, in all fairness, Blue did help us a lot last challenge, and typically goes out of his way to do the best he can do.”
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “Ninth up is ‘I like blue he is cool
(Also hey voters maybe stop trying to use your vote reasons to spoil things.)’.”
Charlie looks at Science Bear.
Science Bear: “...Yes, I get the idea, my hypothesis was false.”
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “Tenth is ‘i love blue(y)!’.”
Test Tube: “What’s the y for?”
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “Joke you wouldn’t get. Now, the last reason Blue got is ‘He is a really cool character, plus its my favorite color’.”
Blue gives a thumbs up.
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “Onto Enderman’s reasons! We first have ‘Fuck they've realised I've stolen their computer-’. Wonder what that means.”
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “Second is ‘so so cool’.”
Enderman gives a thumbs up.
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “Reason three is ‘Zwoop’.”
Enderman makes enderman sounds.
Warrior: “Wait, Enderman can talk?! …Kinda?!”
Enderman nods.
Science Bear: “Well, that’s interesting.”
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “Next up is ‘MINECRAFT!!!
Tiiiiiiiissssss I the lore guy heres today's fun fact
Fun fact about The lamb
He has killed 5, fiiiiivvvvvvveeeeee gods’.’
Test Tube: “That’s… pretty concerning.”
Science Bear: “Greatly.”
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “Next reason is ‘me like enderman -para’.”
Enderman gives a thumbs up, again.
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “Then we have ‘"Mr. Koe Hohzd: “Then, in third, we have Battle For Dream International with 2/5.”"
Lol’.”
Author note I fixed this immediately after seeing the vote reason I do not know how I screwed this up
Charles: “What?”
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “Meta things. Anyways, reason seven is ‘DONT MINE AT NIGHT’.”
based
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “Reason eight-o is ‘we live we love we lie 😔 -paleskowitz’.”
Enderman blinks confusedly.
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “Lastly, we have ‘Enderman's definitely growing on me a lot, especially with the scene at the end of this episode and their general assisting Red.’.”
Enderman smiles a bit.
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “Now, let’s see who’s the lucky one of you two!”
A drumroll plays, and…
Enderman has eleven votes.
Blue has twelve.
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “Blue grabs another spin win! Sorry, Enderman.”
Confetti falls onto Blue, who celebrates, before sliding over to the wheel, consequently slamming into it and accidentally rotating it by sheer force…
‘Desired items’
A brewing stand materializes in Blue’s hands, followed by a ton of materials spawning in behind him. He looks overjoyed at this.
Science Bear: “Never suspected Blue was a scientist of sorts.”
Charles: “Well, that’s good for him!”
Blue lugs all the items to his seat and places them next to him. If he had a mouth he’d definitely be grinning widely right now.
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “With that done, it’s time for elimination votes. Very scary. First safe is Blue with none whatsoever, which just goes to show how popular he is! Have some glue.”
Koe throws glue at Blue’s face. He wipes it off.
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “Get it? Cause glue rhymes with Blue?”
Silence.
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “Okay I guess it wasn’t that funny. Thanks guys. Really nice of you.”
Charlie the Unicorn: “Just get on with it already.”
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “Fine, geez. Test Tube’s next safe with a single vote.”
Koe lobs glue at Test Tube, who instinctually whacks it away and onto the wall while screaming.
Warrior: “You good?”
Test Tube: “Yeah, yeah, just didn’t expect that, heh.”
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “The singular vote reason Tubester received is ‘Somehow more useless than science bear’.”
Test Tube immediately gets defensive.
Test Tube: “Wh- Hey!”
Science Bear: “Well, in all fairness, Test Tube, this voter does have a bit of a point about me not providing much value. I, admittedly, haven’t done as much for the team as I had hoped I would.”
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “I myself am using this reason to segway into Science Bear being safe with two votes!”
Koe tosses glue at Science Bear, hitting him straight in the face.
Science Bear: “Why glue, of all things you could throw?”
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “I dunno.”
Science Bear stares disappointedly.
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “Anyways, first reason you got was… uh, for multiple people that are not even here, so I’m going to copy paste this and airdrop it as well!”
Koe points at the vote reason and turns it into five, then sends four off.
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “So, it reads ‘sorry i don't know you.. but can I say hi to Flowey??? Flowey you are my idol i would give you my soul if it was possible but sadly it isnt :(
I will defend flowey forever 😋😋
(also hi Rocket, N, and Kris! Rocket, everybody's doing great back in your universe! Kris you are very cool. N you are my favorite drone ever)
ALSO HELLO BLOCKY! YOU ARE MY FAVORITE PRANKSTER EVER! I LOOK FORWARD TO WATCHING MORE OF BFDI (blockys funny doings international), ANYWAYS, I MUST GO BECAUSE MY PHONE IS AT 2 PERCENT. UNTIL NEXT VOTING!!
-para’. You… can see why I had to give it to four different people.”
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “The other reason Science Bear received was ‘nerds are like so like 1976.’.”
Science Bear: “Well, I’d refute this claim, but I believe that unless it is factually wrong one’s opinion must be respected even if not agreed with, so you can believe whatever you wish to believe, voter.”
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “What a wordy man. Anyways, the next IDIOT-er safe is Enderman with three votes!”
Glue is thrown at Enderman, who teleports across the room instead of getting hit.
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “Firstly, Enderman got ‘I have no real reason, I just didn't know who to pick and so used a random number generator.’.”
Enderman gives a dissatisfied look.
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “Then we have ‘I didn't know who to pick so I picked you! (As compensation I also picked you for the wheel spin)
Scav’.”
Enderman looks slightly less dissatisfied this time.
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “And lastly, Enderman received ‘I like all of them but i guess enderman did the least so yeah
Probably won’t matter anyway tbh’.”
Enderman shrugs, not knowing if that’s true or not.
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “And with that, we strike a final three - Charles, Charlie, and Warrior! Two buds pitted against the resident downer of the team.”
Charlie the Unicorn: “I’m not going to refute that, I’ll be honest.”
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “Two of these three got five votes, while the other got a grand sixteen, snagging exactly half of all the elimination votes! Ain’t that crazy? Anyways, let’s read out some reasons, starting with Charles - ‘I don’t care much for him’.”
Charles: “Aw…”
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “Next up is ‘I don't know who Charles is.’.”
Charles: “Well, I guess I can’t really blame you there.”
Science Bear: “Would it not make sense to vote for someone you know and don’t like rather than shoving out a person you’re not aware of? Or, rather, doing the research to get an idea of who they are.”
Test Tube: “Hmm, well, nothing us contestants can do about it. I’ve learned that lesson already!”
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “Lastly, we have ‘I am so sorry I didn’t know who to pick! :( :( :( :(
(Distance gun shot sound and subsequent falling body sound.)’.”
Science Bear: “I cannot help but see a common theme in that Charles’ vote reasons seem to center around either a common lack of presence or a randomized pick.”
Blue nods in agreement.
Charles: “Well, nothing to dwell on, I guess!”
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “For Charlie, we start with ‘hard choice but like.
|* * * * * * * * * * OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO|

|OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO|
|:::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::|
|OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO|’. I’m not sure what America has to do with anything but alrighty.”
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “Second is ‘Now, I'm going to preface this by saying Charlie is good, just... He's easily the least valuable out of the rest of the team story-wise. Everyone else has potential, but Charlie's more of a stagnant type. Doesn't mean I don't like him, though - this team easily has one of the better casts out of any show's teams.’.”
Charlie the Unicorn: “I really don’t like the implication of that last sentence.”
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “It’s… uh… hard to explain that one without-”
Charlie the Unicorn: “I already know what you’re going to say, save yourself the time.”
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “B(“
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “Ok last reason is ‘im sleep deprived rn 😆😆 /silly!! :333 also uhhhhhh i forgot what they did in this episorr but thars probably just my dogshit memory - starry/zee’.”
Charlie the Unicorn: “I’d go over what I did but I’m not going to bother wasting my breath.”
Science Bear: “Why do you seem more passive-aggressive than usual?”
Charlie the Unicorn: “ None of your business. ”
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “Hey, hey, calm down, no need for that! Let’s get to the important things, aka Warrior’s vote reasons - ‘*ahem* definitely didn’t just vote for you to spin the wheel of luck no.’.”
Warrior: “That was mean…”
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “Second is ‘Of those I don't recognize, one of them has a backstory, two of them are friends, and one is like some dice guy.
Oh I guess I should try to spoil something uh
Snape dies and Harry is a Horcrux’. Well rip anyone who hasn’t read Harry Potter and was interested in it, I guess. I don’t think that’ll affect anyone here though.”
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “And lastly, we have ‘And whathave YOU done again? Other than be punted?’.”
Warrior: “Hey! I’ve done things! Like…”
Warrior goes quiet for a moment, thinking.
Warrior: “...Uh…”
Warrior frowns.
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “So, out of the three of you, let’s see which of you was safe! I’ll make things more suspenseful, going one at a time. First safe is…”
Drumroll, and…
Charlie is safe with just five.
The fates of Charles and Warrior are uncertain.
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “Charlie the Unicorn!”
Koe throws glue at Charlie’s face. He doesn’t budge.
Charlie the Unicorn: “Gross.”
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “Before I reveal the last one safe, we’ll read a few more vote reasons, starting with Charles - ‘Does the least on the team.’.”
Charles: “Hey, I’d like to think I at least contribute a little!”
Science Bear: “Contributing the least doesn’t inherently mean that you aren’t doing anything worthwhile, Charles, so I wouldn’t worry about it too hard.”
Charles: “...Good point, actually!”
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “And second reason is ‘idk man. i havent really seen him doing much tbh or mabye my memorys shit
-zapper’.”
Science Bear: “And the pattern I saw rings true.”
Test Tube: “I feel bad for Charles, I’ll be honest.”
Charles: “It’s fine! Totally!”
Charles cracks a fake grin. Enderman facepalms, already knowing that’s not really true.
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “And now for Warrior - ‘lol’.”
Warrior frowns.
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “The other is… oh, you’ve got to be kidding me, not this again.”
Test Tube: “What is it?”
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “Something that shouldn’t concern you guys. I’m just going to skip over it next time… Let’s move on from that, though, and see which of these two friends will be getting out!”
Another drumroll occurs, and…
Charles has five votes.
Warrior has sixteen.
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “And Charles is the last safe!”
Koe throws glue at Charles, which whizzes past him. Charles ignores the glue and turns to Warrior, a sad expression on his face.
Warrior: “C’mon, man, it’ll be fine. I’ll be back eventually, anyways!”
Charlie the Unicorn: “You don’t know that.”
Warrior: “Hey, I’m trying to be optimistic here!”
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “For the rest of Warrior’s vote reasons, we’ll start with ‘Okay just warning ya’ll I’m sick and running off of 2 hours of sleep so the writing of my votes is gonna be shit probably
anyways… I just don’t have much emotional investment here. -paleskowitz’.”
Warrior: “That’s fine, I wouldn’t blame you for that one!”
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “Next is gonna be a peak of interest for you guys - ‘Cultist you are
Tiiiiiiiissssss I the lore guy I hath returned heres your lore
LAMB IS EVIL DON'T TRUST HIM
I TRIED TO TELL NNIT BUT-’...”
The rest reads ‘HE ERASED MY LOREEEEE
so yeah just watch out because there is no such thing as a curse of greater acceptance or whatever
Only a ritual of brainwashing.’. But, as you may have expected, Lamb got rid of it. Weird he didn’t cross out the evil part, though.
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “...Uh… is there meant to be a blank there? Whatever, it’s still interesting enough.”
Charlie the Unicorn: “Warrior, what the hell does that mean?”
Charlie walks up to and glares at Warrior, a mix of confusion and anger on his face.
Warrior: “I swear- it’s nothing-”
Blue shoves Charlie away from Warrior defensively, earning an appreciative smile from the die. Blue then explains to Charlie that it’s best not to worry about it, and instead worry about the whole Lamb thing.
Charlie the Unicorn: “Fine. But Warrior, if you somehow come back, we are having a talk about that cult deal.”
Warrior: “Ok, ok, I can deal with that!”
Test Tube: “So… Lamb’s evil?”
Science Bear: “I will say, it’s not the most surprising thing I’ve heard, especially here. That does prove to be a bit of an obstacle, however. I say we…”
Science Bear thinks for a moment, trying not to endanger himself, since he knows that Lamb would easily cause pain to him if he misspoke.
Science Bear: “...Try to keep an eye on him.”
Blue tilts his head, confused about the hesitation.
Science Bear: “Don’t worry too much, I was just formulating what I wanted to say.”
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “Now the next one is gonna add onto your conversation… ‘Shade: Honeatly no one in this team deserves to be eliminated, this time i rolled a 20 sided die and it landes on u, goodbye Warrior, you out up a good fight (plus better anything else than being in Lamb's cult).’.”
Charlie immediately glares back at Warrior.
Warrior: “Hey, I didn’t know about the whole evil thing! Don’t blame me!”
Enderman, shielding their own face with a pumpkin, walks over to Warrior and leans down, gesturing that they want to know how Warrior got into that situation.
Warrior: “Ok, so y’know how after the first challenge we got the whole building? Yeah, while I was in my room Lamb appeared and asked me to join, and I said yes cause he interested me with the promise of fighting! I… now see that maybe that wasn’t the smartest of ideas…”
Warrior sighs.
Warrior: “I’m sorry, I didn’t know the truth and I may have made things worse…”
Test Tube pats Warrior on the back.
Test Tube: “It’s okay, don’t blame yourself. It’s not your fault that you weren’t aware. Nobody else knew.”
Warrior: “...Thanks, Test Tube.”
Warrior smiles slightly, before everyone crowded around him returns to their respective seats.
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “Now that that’s over, let’s… actually get to the rest of the reasons! We’ve got ‘He's the only one I don't know, sorry’ next.”
Science Bear: “I still don’t see the fairness of that voting motivation.”
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “Next is ‘This was actually hard for me this time, I love these characters equally and decided to roll a d20 and uh… it told me to vote warrior, terribly sorry, also Hyehehe is in your walls so goofy. -Kairos is feeding their cat’. I sure hope that hyena isn’t in my walls.”
Hyehehe appears from the walls, accidentally summoned by Koe’s words.
Hyehehe: “Are you sure about that? Hyehehehehe!-”
Koe immediately shoots the THoE at Hyehehe, capturing it.
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “Well, now that loser’s gone. Anyways, isn’t it ironic a die was used to decide Warrior would get a vote?”
Silence.
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “...Hmph. You guys don’t understand humor, clearly. Next up is a recently big one - ‘Ah, to be free from Hyehehe. It must be heaven. However, it makes voting this time much harder! Who am I supposed to vote out?! Let's run through our list of contenders:
Blue carries hard (literally this time), and shows massive personality without ever speaking. Definitely safe.
Charles is super chill. Also, he has a helicopter! What! Safe.
Charlie is actually a pretty cool guy. Mostly I wouldn't want to vote him because he's finally around people who aren't insufferable. Imagine getting sent to a realm with only people like Boss, Bowser, and Bill Cipher... eugh.
Enderman is a similar deal to Blue, where there's a strong, distinct personality. Their friendship is always great to see as well. Safe!
Science Bear seems to always be talking in this investigative way... those studies being done must be real interesting. Can't say he's done anything but try to be helpful. Safe.
Test Tube has some great interactions going on with fellow science-oriented team members. Also pretty biased since I LOVE Inanimate Insanity. No vote for her.
That leaves... Warrior. I don't hate the guy, but I just like everyone else a bit more. I'd say it's probably for the best that he gets away from... a certain someone.’.”
Charlie the Unicorn: “Well, we already know who that certain someone is.”
Charles: “Lay off Warrior for a while, Charlie…”
Charlie sighs.
Charlie the Unicorn: “Fine. I’m just paranoid.”
Test Tube: “...Maybe let’s focus on the rest of the reason?”
Science Bear: “I agree. I find it nice that someone appreciates my presence as well as this reason puts it, especially after previous blunders of mine…”
Blue and Enderman fistbump.
Warrior: “Well, at least I’m not hated or anything, so that’s good!”
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “Lastly… not sure what’s up with the capitalization here, but… ‘so uh weLl i did A uhM coin flip for charlie and warrior Because I dont know either of you that well, Sorry.
also i Could HAve possibly poteNtially imaGINably maybe accidentally caused this unintentionally with my God damn VOTE REASON becauSe i wanted to do the experiment 21 joke ;-;

some help + more info ^
- Ember Nyxtical (EmbeTheAlphaWolf).’. And there’s morse code as well? Okay…”
There seems to be something else written, but it’s blanked out. Wonder who could’ve done that.
Science Bear ponders something for a moment.
Science Bear: “Would it be fine for me to take this reason for research purposes?”
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “Eh, sure thing, not like I’d have a use for it!”
Koe hands the vote reason to Science Bear, who pockets it for later.
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “And now, with that, it’s time for Warrior to say bye-bye.”
Warrior hops out of his seat.
Warrior: “Well, it’s been fun, but I guess all good things come to an end, huh? Gonna miss everyone! And Charles, you better stay in the game for me!”
Charles: “Psh, yeah, got it!”
Warrior: “Alrighty, now… I’m ready to go.”
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “Nice.”
Warrior gets enveloped by a beam from the THoE, and disappears.
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “Finally, the elimination’s over! Went on a bit longer than I hoped for. Well, let’s not waste any more time, people, it’s time to get to the challenge!”
Koe walks out of the room, as IDIOT follows him out. Cut to the outside.
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “Alright, everyone, the challenge today’s gonna be a fun one - well, in my opinion at least. Each team will be placed randomly within an endless maze with various different areas, and your goal is to survive as long as possible. There’ll be entities running about that can AND will kill you if you’re not careful. Whatever team is wiped out first loses, and whatever team manages to survive the longest will get an instant immunity for the next challenge!
Nikoly: “Is that the Backrooms?”
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “No.”
Nikoly: “...”
Nikoly: “...Apeirophobia?”
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “Shut up.”
Nikoly: “:(“
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “Aaaaaaanyways everyone will be teleported right now!”
The teams get teleported into the maze, spread out randomly. Cut to NNIT.
Plankton: “Great. This is going to be terrible!”
Torch God writes ‘AGREED’.
Artificer: “As long as we stick together as a team, I’m sure we’ll be completely fi-”
Nacho grabs Plankton and runs off with him, as he screams for help. The other four watch, unamused, except for Plasma Ball who has a blank face.
Artificer: “Well, that’s just great. Torch God, can you make sure Nacho doesn’t pull anything stupid?”
Torch God makes a thumbs up and goes after the two. The Knight, meanwhile, is sketching a plan - Find materials, build a shelter, and stand guard until the other teams succumb.
Artificer: “That’s a decent plan, but at the same time we don’t know the strength of these so-called ‘entities’.”
Plasma Ball?: “Maybe we attack other teams? Or something?”
Plasma Ball shrugs.
Artificer: “That could also work… for now, though, it’s probably best just to get a move on.”
The trio walks off the opposite way that the other three members are going… Speaking of those three, pan to Nacho, Plankton, and Torch God. Torch God is trying to ask what Nacho’s doing, but Nacho isn’t looking. Torch God gets angry and places themself in front of Nacho, stopping her.
‘BRO WTF’
‘WHAT IS THE END’
‘GOAL OF ALL THIS’.
Nacho: “There really isn’t one.”
Torch God makes a :| face, before continuing to question - ‘THATS THE STUPIDEST’
‘THING IVE EVER HEARD’
‘AND THE THINGS IVE’
‘HEARD FROM TERRARIANS’
‘IS SOME OF THE WORST’
Nacho: “And what are you going to do about it?”
Nacho makes a smug face as Plankton tries to get out of her grip. Torch God makes a >:( face.
‘OH I’LL SHOW YOU’
‘YOU’RE GONNA’
‘REGRET YOUR STUPIDITY’
The room turns dim.
Nacho: “...Wow. Really scary.”
Torch God writes ‘...THAT WASN’T ME’
Plankton: “In the name of Neptune, are we already having an encounter???”
Eyes appear in the darkness. Torch God writes ‘YES’ before running away, leaving Nacho and Plankton alone.
Nacho: “Loser.”
Plankton: “NACHO WE ARE ABOUT TO DIE!!!”
Nacho: “Who said we were?”
Nacho hurls Plankton towards the beast in the dark, which squashes the sea creature to a pulp, as she herself runs off in a different direction. Torch God managed to see this, and writes to themself ‘I AM SO GOING TO’
‘BURN HER STUCK-UP ASS’
‘WHEN I HAVE THE CHANCE’, before going faster so as to not fall victim to the entity.
Cut to BFDI.
Blocky: “Alright, everyone remember the plan?”
Squid: “I’m sure it’s already obvious that we have.”
Red: “Yeah… I don’t think it’s that easy to forget it…”
Blocky: “Then let’s get a move on! Everyone, gather materials now!”
Everyone but Tree-y heads out. Squid looks at Tree-y, puzzled.
Squid: “Why aren’t you doing anything?”
Tree-y: “♪ i cant move freely oh woe is me-e ♪”
Squid makes an unamused expression.
Squid: “I question Koe’s choice of contestant picking more and more each challenge.”
Squid floats off, leaving Tree-y alone.
Tree-y: “♪ this is very sad but i will be glad everythings ok i’ll survive today ♪”
Nikoly called over from a fair distance away.
Nikoly: “Debatable!”
Blocky laughed at the joke while Sundew stared disappointedly.
Sundew: “You people never fail to disappoint me.”
Nikoly: “Maybe you should change your attitude, Sundew!”
Nikoly heaved a huge chunk of metal into one of the various piles of materials the team was creating.
Nikoly: “Alrighty, does this look like enough?”
Red: “Seems like it…”
Squid looks at it, inspecting.
Squid: “Yes, it’s the right amount.”
Blocky: “Yeah! We did it!”
Blocky and Nikoly high-five.
Tree-y: “♪ i didnt assist the celebration i miss ♪”
Red: “Hey, don’t worry too much, Tree-y, not your fault.”
Blocky: “Hey, no mushy gushy stuff! It’s time to get to work!”
Blocky starts working on building a shelter, and Nikoly, Squid, and Sundew all start helping as well. Red makes a half-angry, half-sad expression.
Red: “I barely get any respect… Man, if only Blue or Enderman were here.”
Tree-y: “♪ it’ll be fine in the end and i’m still your friend ♪”
Red: “Yeah, true, but they’d help a lot as well… Sorry to say, but you can’t do much, especially with your lack of limbs or movement or… well, anything.”
Tree-y would’ve shrugged if he could.
Tree-y: “♪ that is fair i wont get in your hair ♪”
Red gives a thumbs up as he joins in on the shelter construction. Cut to IDIOT.
Test Tube: “Okay, guys, we need to find shelter immediately! I can try making something to help us out.”
Charlie the Unicorn: “Good, I’m not willing to lose for the second time in a row.”
Science Bear: “While Test Tube is busy working, the rest of you guys can scout for utilities or dangers that we need to be safe from. I have some business I need to do with this.”
Science Bear holds up the vote reason Koe had given him, before walking off.
Charlie the Unicorn: “Seriously? He could’ve dealt with that after the challenge!”
Charles: “Charlie, it’s probably best… not to push anything, y’know?”
Charlie gives an annoyed look at Charles, but complies. Meanwhile, Blue and Enderman are gathering materials for Test Tube’s invention. Blue asks her what she’s making.
Test Tube: “Oh, it’s pretty simple - it’s a machine that we can use to instantly create shelter!”
Blue’s immediately invested in the idea, while Enderman shrugs and continues gathering.
Test Tube: “I actually have the blueprints for this right here-”
Test Tube pulls out the blueprints and places them on the floor.
Test Tube: “-since I was going to use this design for something else in the past. But, now that I’m here, I might as well get some use out of it now!”
Blue nods in understanding, as Enderman places a load of materials next to Test Tube and teleports away to gather more. However, as they’re collecting from the place they’re gathering materials from, they notice something lurking… They immediately get into a defensive position, expecting the worst. They make a screaming sound to try and intimidate whatever’s there, but instead of what Enderman had expected, a very identifiable scream was heard. Enderman blinked confusedly before seeing who it actually was…
Pizza Steve: “Dude, that scared me so bad! Why would you do that?”
Enderman apologizes profusely, since they didn’t know who or what it was in the dark.
Pizza Steve: “Ah, ok, got it, bro, I forgive ya!”
Awkward silence occurs for a moment.
Pizza Steve: “Hey, uh, do you know where anyone is?...”
Enderman wobbly sketches ‘MY TEAM’ into the wall.
Pizza Steve: “That’s a shame, I was hoping you would know where my bros were at-”
Before Pizza Steve could finish, recognizable lights came from the darkness as the sounds of shouting could be heard.
Pizza Steve: “Wait is that them-”
The entirety of CF crashes into Pizza Steve. Enderman tilts their head in confusion, before turning to the darkness and seeing something lunging towards the group. In a state of panic, Enderman heaves everyone up and teleports back to IDIOT. Back where IDIOT is, Charlie and Charles are looking out for anything.
Charles: “See anything?”
Charlie the Unicorn: “What do you think? It’s pitch black as far as I can see.”
Charles: “I dunno, I was thinking maybe the creature guys were glow-in-the-dark?”
Charlie the Unicorn: “Even if I’m more used to horrid creatures being up-in-your-face, that just sounds stupidly inefficient.”
Charles: “...Eh, true.”
Enderman pops up with CF in tow right in front of Charles, scaring him. Charlie raises an eyebrow.
Charlie the Unicorn: “Did you just take an entire team?”
Enderman nods, before placing CF on the ground. The team disperses from the pile.
N: “Woo, that was… pretty scary! Don’t wanna deal with that again.”
Amelia: “I… think my life flashed before my eyes there…”
Charles: “Wh- what happened and how are you guys here now?!”
Kris writes on a piece of paper ‘tldr an entity found us and chased us after pizza steve accidentally got lost’.
Pizza Steve: “It was strategic!”
Kris looks at Pizza Steve with an accusative look.
Pizza Steve: “...Yeah I accidentally got lost.”
Charles: “Well, you guys are in luck since Test Tube over there is working on something that’ll help us survive!”
Pizza Steve: “Sick!”
That’s awfully convenient.
Flowey: “Boring! I’m going to go see if I can beat up anyone. Bye, losers!”
Flowey runs off into the distance.
Wheatley: “Hey, uh, should we stop him?”
Kris writes ‘no point’.
Wheatley: “Yea, that’s fair.”
Enderman suddenly remembers they actually have to be doing stuff, so they teleport away.
N: “Hey, where’d tall man go?”
Charlie the Unicorn: “Going back to work. We need to do that too, so if you want to hang around, at least do it where you’re not going to distract us.”
Charles: “That was- that was rude, but yeah you could go hang out with Blue and Test Tube or something!”
Charles points backwards towards the mentioned people.
N: “On it! Let’s go, everyone!”
The entire team of CF - minus Flowey, of course - heads off to sit near the aforementioned IDIOT members.
Charles: “Well, that was an experience.”
Charlie the Unicorn: “It could be miles worse, lemme tell you that.”
Cut to RCoKJ.
King Julien: “Alright, everyone, I think it’s best if we head out and try to find an exit!”
Ploque: “...It’s an endless maze, there isn’t an exit.”
King Julien: “Oh.”
King Julien: “Well, we can still try, at least! Come along, everyone!”
Most of the team follows King Julien. Ploque stays behind. Spider-Ham turns around.
Spider-Ham: “Hey, come on, we’re all supposed to go!”
Ploque: “No thank you, I’d rather work by myself.”
Spider-Ham: “Eh. Suit yourself, then!”
Spider-Ham continues on, but Lamb leaves the crowd to return back to Ploque.
Ploque: “Don’t try convincing me, I have enough of a headache.”
Lamb: “Oh, you and I both know I’m not doing that.”
Ploque: “At this point I don’t trust anyone to not try and influence me. Especially not people like you or Carl.”
Lamb: “Don’t compare me to him, he’s not even remotely refined in his ways, and not very resourceful either.”
Ploque: “...If that’s your issue with him, I’m concerned.”
Lamb: “Look, I won’t deny it in your presence that I’ve done some debatably unethical things before.”
Ploque: “I don’t see why you’re telling me over anyone else.”
Lamb: “Isn’t it obvious? You’re the only one here who doesn’t give two shits about this team. Why would you care if I said any of this? It’s not like you’re going to tell King Julien, or anyone else for that matter, if you have no motivation. Even with your second-in-command position.”
Ploque: “...I don’t like where this is going.”
Lamb: “Plus, who else would I tell this to? The floor? Ha! Not even my own personal accomplices I can trust with this stuff - with the possible exception of that little die, Warrior I think it was, though he’s out of the game now.”
Ploque: “Personal accomplices?”
Lamb: “Oh, yes, nobody else on the team knows this, but… I do have an ‘organization’ of my own, if you’d like to call it that. More of a cult, really.”
Ploque blinks, or would’ve, if she had eyes.
Ploque: “I… really shouldn’t be surprised. Lemme guess, you wanna get strong or something?”
Lamb: “Not just that, I plan on taking over this competition by force. If I can have that wishing gem, I will be able to appease the One Who Waits, and maybe even become stronger than him and become a deity of my own accord.”
Ploque: “...That feels in character, I won’t lie.”
Lamb makes an unamused face.
Lamb: “Honestly, I was hoping you’d be freaking out about this.”
Ploque: “This competition has desensitized me to this type of stuff. And I’ve already dealt with a power-hungry god before, anyway.”
Lamb: “Hm, well, that’s why you’re my favorite, you’re easily the least fragile out of these fools.”
Ploque mentally malfunctioned.
Ploque: “Wh- what.”
Lamb: “You really think I would be saying my plans to you out of all people for no reason? Yeah, my previous points on why stand true, but if I had to pick one person that I would consider good, it would have to be you.”
Lamb chuckled to himself.
Lamb: “Ah, enough of that. I have some business to attend to. I give you a farewell.”
Lamb walks off, leaving Ploque alone.
Ploque: “...”
Ploque: “I have so many questions.”
Ploque sits down. Cut to Artificer, the Knight, and Plasma Ball roaming the halls.
Artificer: “By now I wouldn’t be surprised if Nacho already screwed something up.”
The Knight nods in agreement. As the trio walks, they come across a corner, where Nacho is casually coming towards them.
Artificer: “Speak of the devil.”
Artificer sighs, before noticing the distinct lack of Plankton and Torch God.
Artificer: “...Nacho. Where are the others.”
Nacho: “I threw Plankton at an entity.”
Artificer: “Wh-why?!”
Nacho: “Funny.”
Plasma Ball?: “Nacho, that's not really funny…”
The Knight agrees, looking visibly disappointed.
Artificer: “That also doesn’t answer where Torch God is at all.”
Nacho: “I dunno, they kinda just ran off somewhere when the entity appeared. Not like I care, though.”
Artificer: “Of course you don’t.”
Plasma Ball?: “Wait, did it chase you at all?”
Nacho: “Mm… probably.”
Nacho looks behind herself.
Nacho: “Nah, nevermind. Would’ve been funny, though.”
Artificer: “If this wasn’t a challenge I would kill you right now.”
Nacho: “Sounds hot.”
Artificer: “Wh- wha-”
Artificer makes confused sounds. The Knight drags her and Plasma Ball away.
Nacho: “Nice, I’m alone now.”
Silence.
Nacho: “I wonder if they have snacks here.”
Cut to BFDI. They’ve built a giant shelter.
Nikoly: “Yeah, we are so winning this!”
Red: “Eh, I dunno, seems too early to call that…”
Nikoly: “You just need to believe in yourself, Red.”
Red: “I try.”
Pan to Blocky on top of the shelter, putting the finishing touches on his Super Awesome Cannon™.
Sundew: “Why would you trademark it if it’s only for this challenge?”
Blocky: “Well, I don’t want the viewers taking my idea!”
Sundew: “I don’t see any reason why they would need to do that.”
Blocky: “Don’t underestimate them, Sundew, trust me! I have competition experience, I know this kind of stuff like the back of my hand!”
Blocky shows his hand, which, y’know, is just an ellipse.
Blocky: “Uh… I don’t know where the back of my hand is.”
Sundew facepalms.
Sundew: “You amaze me with your stupidity.”
Blocky: “Hey, who’s the one with a Super Awesome Cannon™? Me! Not you!”
Blocky laughs to himself. Pan back to the bottom, where Squid is trying to push Tree-y in with blocks.
Squid: “You are… surprisingly heavy.”
Tree-y: “♪ i am a tree as you can see ♪”
Squid: “Obviously, but normally I’d be able to send a tree flying , not pathetically scooting across the floor.”
Squid thinks for a moment.
Squid: “Probably related to all the teleporting-across-dimension stuff.”
Tree-y: “♪ what do you mean by that thing ♪”
Squid: “You really don’t know? Everyone here got teleported to this dimension by the host to compete.”
Tree-y: “♪ well if that was how it came to be why dont you guys just leave ♪”
Squid: “Trust me. It’s impossible.”
Tree-y: “♪ that is very sad i am not glad ♪”
Squid: “I’m not either, but at least there’s some motive to keep going. That prize is highly valuable.”
Tree-y: “♪ well what is the prize i hope its quite nice ♪”
Squid raised an eyebrow.
Squid: “You don’t know?”
Tree-y: “♪ no i do not i was kinda just brought ♪”
Squid: “That explains it. It’s a crystal that supposedly grants your every wish, with only minor limitations. It’s a prize to kill for. Well, I’ve already killed a couple people for it already, but… you get the point.”
Tree-y: “♪ well thats pretty cool a very nice jewel ♪”
Squid finally gets Tree-y into the shelter.
Squid: “Perfect, now we’re no longer in danger.”
Tree-y: “♪ yippity yay that gets a hooray ♪”
Squid floats up to the level Nikoly and Red are at.
Squid: “I got Tree-y in.”
Nikoly: “Woo! Yea! We’re done!”
Red: “That’s nice!”
Nikoly: “How hard was it?”
Squid: “Very.”
Nikoly: “Damn.”
Beat.
Nikoly: “Okay I’m gonna sleep now.”
Nikoly faceplants and starts snoring.
Squid: “...This fish is so unpredictable.”
Squid floats further up, as Red sits down.
Red: “Guess I’m alone now… yay…”
Red sighs. Cut to IDIOT. Test Tube has finished her invention.
Test Tube: “Behold! The Shelterinator! I definitely didn’t steal that naming scheme!”
A couple people clap.
N: “Ooo, can I try using it?”
She… just finished building it, N...
Test Tube: “Uh, no, not yet, I haven’t actually tested it!”
Test Tube points the Shelterinator far away, and turns it on. Immediately, it starts to generate a holographic blueprint. Everyone near her is enthralled, except Pizza Steve, where a peculiar light catches his attention. He slowly sneaks away from the crowd to check it out, but is met with another obstacle - Charlie and Charles are still on the lookout for entities, and they’re in the way he needs to go. He’ll definitely be sent away if they catch him.
Charles: “Wow, it’s boring!”
Charlie the Unicorn: “Do you want one of those so-called entities to chase us or what?”
Charles: “Charlie, that’s not what I meant…”
Charlie the Unicorn: “Sure sounded like it.”
Pizza Steve grabs one of the scrap pieces Enderman left lying around and throws it in the two guards’ direction to distract them.
Charles: “GAH!”
Charlie the Unicorn: “It’s just a piece of scrap, Charles, it’s not even remotely scary.”
That… didn’t work. Plan B: Throw a piece of scrap metal, but put something on it to scare Charlie. Pizza Steve etches into one chunk of junk, making a giant Z on it. Then he throws it.
Charles: “GAH!”
Charlie the Unicorn: “Charles how many times do I have to-”
Charlie looks at the Z and mentally short-circuits. Pizza Steve runs by quickly while the two are distracted.
Pizza Steve: “I feel a little bad, but sometimes you gotta do what you gotta do…”
Pizza Steve heads towards the light, and sees Torch God. Torch God makes a hand-waving motion.
Pizza Steve: “Hey, bro, haven’t seen ya in a while! What’s up?”
Torch God writes ‘HELL ON EARTH’.
Pizza Steve: “Dang, what’s going on?”
Torch God writes ‘FIRST OF ALL’
‘I HAD TO GO AFTER’
‘MY TEAMMATE NACHO’
‘CAUSE SHE RAN OFF’
‘AND THEN SHE THREW’
‘PLANKTON AT AN ENTITY’
‘AND RAN OFF AGAIN’
‘AND THEN I GOT LOST’
‘AND ALMOST DIED TWICE’
‘NACHOS BEEN PISSING ME’
‘OFF IN GENERAL’
‘FOR A GOOD WHILE’.
Pizza Steve: “Ooo… sounds bad.”
Torch God writes ‘YEP’. After a bit of awkward silence, they ask ‘SO WHATRE YOU DOING’
Pizza Steve: “Well, until I noticed your glow, I was hanging out with my bros and IDIOT. Test Tube was making this shelter creator thingamabob, and before I left she was starting to test it out.”
Torch God writes ‘SOUNDS COOL’
‘CAN I COME?’
Pizza Steve: “Yeah, sure thing, we just… gotta get past Charlie and Charles. They’re watching out for entities.”
Torch God makes a thumbs up, and the two head off back to the settling area. Cut to RCoKJ, or rather, RCoKJ minus Lamb and Ploque.
Rocket: “Hey, it feels like someone’s missing!”
Spider-Ham: “Ploque is. I tried to get her to come. She refused, how rude of her!”
Rocket: “Nonono, I know that, I mean someone else!”
Spider-Ham: “Ah, I see.”
Beat.
Spider-Ham: “I dunno.”
Donkey: “Guys, it’s Lamb who’s missing!”
Rocket and Spider-Ham both say ‘ohhhhhhh’.
King Julien: “Well, that’s not good! Where could he be?”
Carl: “Maybe he ran off to.”
Donkey: “...To?”
Carl: “Eat people’s skin.”
Donkey: “Why would he do that?”
Carl: “I dunno, that’s what I would do if I ran off.”
Rocket: “Carl, that’s… not normal…”
Carl: “Sucks for you then.”
Spider-Ham: “Guys, we should probably be focusing on Lamb being missing rather than Carl’s weird eating habits?”
Carl: “Yeah, I agree, leave me alone about what I like to eat.”
King Julien: “Well, thankfully, Lamb will be able to hold his own, so I’m not too worried!”
Rocket: “...But can we do well without him?”
King Julien: “Oh. That’s a fair point.”
King Julien thinks for a moment.
King Julien: “Probably not.”
Donkey: “WE’RE DOOMED! RUN FOR THE HILLS!”
Donkey runs off, but is stopped by an entity approaching the team.
Donkey: “OKAY GUYS DON’T RUN THIS WAY-”
Donkey is killed by the entity mercilessly. The beast gets in a crouching position, ready to lunge.
Rocket: “SCATTER!”
Everyone but Carl runs off. Carl stands still.
Carl: “Hey, nice, free meat! Say, do you wanna-”
The entity leaps at Carl and murders him in cold blood, before chasing after the rest.
Spider-Ham: “Oh we are so dead meat!-”
Spider-Ham trips comically and stumbles into the darkness behind, getting taken out by the entity.
Rocket: “No! Not the ham man!”
King Julien: “It’s okay, Rocket, let’s just keep running!-”
King Julien and Rocket slam into a wall.
Rocket: “Ow.”
They both fall over and are promptly finished off by the entity. Cut to Ploque lying on the floor.
Ploque: “Having alone time for once is nice. Means I can work on healing this stupid wound more, too.”
Ploque sighs.
Ploque: “This has to be the worst time of my life. Why do I even try? I don’t even care about that stupid prize.”
A sudden voice is heard.
???: “Wow, what a loser!”
Ploque jolts upwards, and sees Flowey in front of her.
Ploque: “Oh. It’s just you.”
Flowey: “Ha, scared you, didn’t I? What a wimp.”
Ploque: “I was merely… caught off guard.”
Flowey: “Yeh, right, totally!”
Ploque: “What do you want, anyways?...”
Flowey: “Eh, nothing, I’m just bored and my lameass team is being BORING as SHIT.”
Ploque winces.
Ploque: “Not so loud, jeez…”
Flowey: “I’LL BE AS LOUD AS I FUCKING WANT TO! HAHAHAHAHA!-”
Ploque punches Flowey square in the face.
Flowey: “OW YOU FUCKING PRIC-”
Ploque kicks Flowey and runs away.
Flowey: “I WILL HAVE MY REVENGE! JUST YO-”
A deep rumble is heard behind Flowey.
Flowey: “-U… see…”
Flowey: “...”
Flowey: “Shit.”
Flowey is crushed by an entity. Pan to Ploque running.
Ploque: “Oh my god I am so screwed-”
Ploque coughs loudly.
Ploque: “Ughhh… stupid head pain…”
Ploque: “I can’t just stop, though, I’d rather not die…”
Ploque looked behind herself to see the entity approaching quickly.
Ploque: “Oh fuck oh shit-”
Ploque skidded around a corner as the entity continued down a hallway. She silently sighed in relief, glad that she managed to escape.
Ploque: “That… could’ve ended badly…”
Ploque lays down again.
Ploque: “...Now to do nothing, I guess…”
Ploque sighs sadly. Cut to Science Bear sitting in a secluded part of the endless maze, using some sort of machine to decipher the voting reason Koe gave him.
Science Bear: “...And that should fully decipher it.”
Science Bear views the deciphered message…
‘LAMB IS CHANGING VOTE REASONS. THEY ARE SCRIBBLING PARTS OUT.’
Science Bear: “Oh, dear, that’s… that’s not good. I need to tell someone this.”
Unluckily for Science Bear, Lamb was listening in on this. The sheep immediately used some of his magic to bring Plasma Ball to him for… something… Speaking of, cut to Plasma Ball, alongside Artificer and the Knight, all monotonously treading through the maze. The Knight scratches their nail on the ground to imitate a groaning noise.
Artificer: “I’m bored too, let’s just hope we can get through this without any more fuckups and survive until the end.”
Plasma Ball?: “I’m sure it’ll be fine!”
Plasma Ball grins a bit too widely. Artificer raises an eyebrow.
Artificer: “You’re faking it, aren’t you.”
Plasma Ball drops her expression.
Plasma Ball?: “Yyyyyyyyeah…”
Artificer sighs.
Artificer: “Look, you have no reason to lie. It’ll just make things less of a headache… Not like they aren’t already with Nacho on our team and Blocky’s stupid team, but the thought is what counts.”
Plasma Ball nods quietly. The group walks in silence for a bit, before Plasma Ball stops in place.
Artificer: “What’s the hold up?”
Plasma Ball stays silent. The Knight walks up to her and pokes her. Plasma Ball is unresponsive. The Knight makes a puzzled face and turns to Artificer.
Artificer: “I thought she was getting better at the whole not-responding-to-us thing. What the hell’s going on in her mind right now?”
Plasma Ball starts walking again, though she changes direction to go to the left. Artificer looks at the Knight.
Artificer: “It’s best we follow her. I’m not letting someone screw things up for the third time this challenge.”
The Knight nods, and the two follow Plasma Ball. They stand a fair distance away from her as she stops right next to Lamb. Thankfully for the duo of other NNIT members, Lamb doesn’t notice Artificer and the Knight’s presence. Lamb and Plasma Ball walk into the area where Science Bear is, as the other two NNIT members slowly walk behind, both confused over what’s happening. Lamb approaches Science Bear, Plasma Ball behind her.
Science Bear: “Oh! Hello there, Lamb-”
Lamb: “Cut the small talk, Science Bear. I know what you’ve found out.”
Science Bear gulps, knowing what trouble he’s in. Artificer and the Knight look just around the corner to watch what’s about to go down.
Lamb: “It’s plain and obvious that you’re going to abuse this knowledge to strike me out of the game, perhaps worse. And I can’t let you do that, of course, what a betrayal of my trust! Not like you already found out things better left secret, such as Plasma Ball’s status, but… I digress.”
Science Bear: “Look, it’s not what it seems like, Lamb, I am perfectly able to explain, I can keep this a secre-”
Lamb: “And how would I trust you, hm? You said it loud and clear for me to hear, you were going to tell someone about what I’ve done. Just like you tried before. It’s a pity, Science Bear, that I’ll have to do this.”
Science Bear is shaking in fear at this point, not ready to see what Lamb’s going to do. Lamb orders Plasma Ball to pin Science Bear against the wall so he can’t escape.
Lamb: “Now you’ll have to meet the same fate as ol’ Plasma here. What a shame! You could have been such a valuable asset, but you had to screw everything up for yourself, huh?”
Lamb chuckles.
Lamb: “Who am I kidding? You’re worthless. Others on your team are practically the better version of you. You’re nothing else than a shadow living in the dark of those truly powerful. And now that shadow will be stamped out, like the useless bug you are.”
Lamb charges up fervour, creating a red glow, reminiscent of that of Plasma Ball’s eyes…
Artificer and the Knight both realize what happened to Plasma Ball. They look at each other appalled.
A beam of energy shoots out from around Lamb, enveloping Science Bear. When the light fades, his eyes have become the same red of Plasma Ball. He’s become nothing more than an empty shell possessed by Lamb’s magic.
Lamb: “That’s another foe cleared from this earth. I only wish I won’t have to take more drastic measures like these in the future…”
Lamb chuckles to himself again.
Lamb: “Oh, as if. What a gratifying experience!”
Lamb looks around idly for a moment.
Lamb: “Well, I suppose I should be off from this spot, before I gather suspicion…”
Artificer and the Knight hide from Lamb’s view. Artificer whispers quiet enough that Lamb can’t hear her.
Artificer: “This is fucked up.”
The Knight nods, before their eyes suddenly widen in fear - well, more than they already had been.
Artificer: “...What?”
The Knight uses their nail to point behind Artificer. She turns to see a giant entity looming, ready to strike.
Artificer: “...”
Artificer: “Shit.”
The entity crushes Artificer in one fell swoop. The Knight freaks out and runs without any consideration for being caught by Lamb. The entity takes chase, but immediately stops upon seeing the sheep.
Lamb: “Well, well, well, this puny beast is trying to scuffle? Fight me, fool! I have slain gods before, and you are weaker than even the weakest of them!”
Lamb sends Plasma Ball and Science Bear to go as decoys, but they’re immediately slashed in half.
Lamb: “Very well, then, looks like I’ll need a different strategy.”
Lamb pulls out his sword and charges, jumping into the air to stab it into the entity. But right before he can, he gets slapped into the wall, skidding down it. When he hits the ground, he’s immediately crushed to bits. The entity leaves, forgetting about the Knight.
Cut to BFDI. Sundew is sitting on the roof of the base, watching out for any approaching entities. Nikoly hops up to the roof.
Sundew: “What are you doing here?”
Nikoly: “Ehhhhhh, got bored. Figured it wouldn’t hurt to come up here!”
Sundew rolled her eyes, keeping her attention on the darkness. Nikoly tried to start some small talk, but was immediately shut down with a harsh shush.
Nikoly: “Aw…”
Sundew: “Look, I’m more focused on surviving than dealing with your stupidity.”
Nikoly: “Hey! I’m not stupid! Watch!”
Nikoly threw his scythe to boomerang it.
Nikoly: “See, if I was stupid, it would’ve screwed something up!”
Sundew: “I don’t see how that was meant to prove anything.”
Nikoly: “Well, maybe you’re just blind to the truth!”
Sundew: “If anything, you are.”
Nikoly grumbled.
Nikoly: “I’ll show you!”
Nikoly began juggling scythes.
Sundew: “I still don’t see what this is meant to prove.”
Nikoly: “It’s meant to prove that if I was dumb these would fall on my head!-”
The scythes then bonk Nikoly on the head, making him fall over.
Nikoly: “Ow- ow- ow- ow-”
Sundew stifles a laugh, trying to keep her persona up.
Nikoly: “Hey, I heard you trying not to laugh!”
Nikoly pushes his scythes off the base’s roof as he gets up. Unfortunately, this creates a loud sound as they clatter to the floor.
Nikoly: “Oooo… ouch, my ears…”
Sundew: “Good going.”
Sundew gives Nikoly a hard glare, making Nikoly sweat.
Nikoly: “I’m sure that did nothing!”
A loud rumble is heard from the halls ahead.
Nikoly: “...”
Nikoly: “...Wonderful weather we're having, eh, Sundew?”
In the blink of an eye, an entity from the shadows dashes straight upwards at the roof, aiming at Nikoly and Sundew. Nikoly manages to dodge, but Sundew is not so lucky.
Nikoly: “EVERYONE! WE’RE BEING ATTACKED!”
Blocky hops out from the top floor and mounts his Super Awesome Cannon™.
Blocky: “It’s showtime!”
Blocky turns on the Super Awesome Cannon™ and fires a giant cannonball at the entity. It’s seemingly subdued.
Blocky: “Take that, loser! Ha ha!”
The entity tore apart the cannonball and got ready to lunge again.
Blocky: “...”
Blocky: “Welp. I tried!”
Blocky gets knocked to the ground by the entity. Nikoly begins panicking and running around. Red and Squid peer out of the base just in time to see Tree-y get thrown upwards through the shelter by the entity.
Nikoly: “Got damn.”
Red: “Not now, Nikoly, we gotta run!”
Squid: “I don’t even want to know how this happened so fast, but yes let’s just get out of here as soon as possible.”
The three begin escaping as fast as they can, Squid floating in the sky as the other two run.
Red: “Wait, Squid, you should be completely safe since you’re in the air!”
Nikoly: “I, uh, wouldn’t be too sure about that, Red…”
Squid: “I think he actually has a point for once-”
As if on cue, the entity lunged at and mauled Squid. Squid pushed it off him.
Squid: “I TAKE THAT BACK”
Squid starts fighting the entity as Nikoly and Red continue their escape. Cut to Ploque, sitting awkwardly while tapping the ground impatiently.
Ploque: “By now people are probably dead, right? I’d think some of the teams are out…”
Ploque blinks… well, not really, but you get what I mean.
Ploque: “Never did I think I was going to say that in a positive light… eugh.”
Ploque: “This competition really brings out the worst in people, I guess… …well, I shouldn’t be surprised, considering what I’ve seen so far…”
Ploque sighs.
Ploque: “...I’m regretting staying behind now. Maybe if I didn’t I wouldn’t be talking to myself like I’m crazy. And also I wouldn’t have had to deal with Lamb and Flowey…”
As Ploque silently laments, she notices something in the darkness.
Ploque: “Wh… what the hell is that?”
The thing comes closer, but… seems to not enter an attacking state. Ploque is very hesitant, however, and pulls out a saw.
Ploque: “Whatever you are, I will not hesitate to fight you! I- I think!”
The entity seems to silently chuckle, instead turning on a lantern and illuminating the dark hallway.
Ploque: “...”
Ploque: “...I’m just confused now…”
The entity shrugs, before pointing in a direction, insinuating that Ploque should follow it. Ploque immediately gets defensive again.
Ploque: “I can’t just trust you willy-nilly, you think I’m dumb?”
The entity raised an eyebrow, seemingly saying something about its lack of attacking.
Ploque: “...”
Ploque: “...Koe implied that all the entities were supposed to kill us, so I’m not taking any chances. As much as this stupid fucking headache hurts.”
The entity silently laughed at Ploque’s response.
Ploque: “...I probably don’t have a choice, though, do I? I mean, I’m the only contestant here right now… and with what happened earlier, I don’t see any possible way I’d be able to fight anything…”
Ploque: “Of course this shit always has to happen to me and not everyone else. Even in the short amount of time I’ve had to deal with this competition I’ve been screwed up beyond comprehension with what I’ve had to deal with… I just… want to give up, but I know I can’t do that. Plus, I’m not even sure what the hell’s going on with that weird… orb thing that eliminates people…”
Ploque groans. The entity suddenly looks sympathetic.
Ploque: “...”
Ploque: “Now I’m… confused…”
The entity stays silent, retreating back into the shadows.
Ploque: “Well, I… should’ve seen that coming. Back to being alone…”
Ploque sits down and scoots into a corner. After a while, a shadow suddenly looms over her.
Ploque: “...You have to be kidding me-”
A giant entity crushes Ploque, instantly killing her. Outside the labyrinth, Koe respawns her, along with the rest of RCoKJ.
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “Since Ploque died and she was the last of you guys to be alive, you lot are up for elimination!”
Donkey: “Aw, shoot!”
Rocket: “Well, that’s not great at all!”
Lamb: “I’m sure all will be fine. We’ll live.”
Ploque uncomfortably shuffles in place.
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “Though, we still have four more teams in the halls. Which one will stick it out til the end? Let’s see!”
Cut to IDIOT and CF (and Torch God too, ig). The two teams, minus the obvious outliers, are hanging out within the shelter built by Test Tube’s Shelterinator. Pizza Steve and N are sitting on a couch while Charles and Charlie both sit in armchairs.
Pizza Steve: “Yeah, and then we went inside, and there were all these sick lasers everywhere! So then we had a dance party, but then I guess that was illegal so the cops came for us. Bummer.”
Charles: “Are you sure that wasn’t a bank vault?...”
Pizza Steve: “No way, dude, I know one when I see one.”
Charlie the Unicorn: “I don’t think I want to even ask how you know that.”
N reclines on the couch.
N: “Hey Pizza Steve?”
Pizza Steve: “Yeah?”
N: “I have this feeling that we forgot to do something, but I can’t place my finger on it… can you?”
Pizza Steve: “Mm, lemme think, uh…”
Meanwhile, Stanley and Amelia both overhear while walking around the base.
…
Am I the only one who remembers? We were supposed to ask about an alliance. Stanley, can you remind them for me? Considering, of course, I physically cannot. Really inconvenient, by the way- NO, I am not going on a spiel, Stanley, I’m better than that- Oh come on! Seriously?
Amelia: “We were… meant to ask IDIOT about an alliance…”
N: “Ohhhhhh, right!”
Well, looks like you don’t have to do anything anyways. Lucky. …yeah, or it coil be the other narrator trying to pull a prank.
Well you’re never going to find out so L.
Curse you!
Aaaaand curse you too. Shut up now. Bye bye.
Charles: “Uh, you should probably ask Blue and or Test Tube about that, they’re pretty much the de facto leaders of our team!”
Pizza Steve: “Got it! I’ll continue the story once I get back, see ya in a quick bit!”
Pizza Steve hops off the couch and strolls into another room, where Test Tube is talking to Wheatley as Blue cooks something.
Pizza Steve: “Ay, guys, what’s up?”
Wheatley: “Oh, hello, Pizza Steve! Test Tube was just asking me about my homeworld, considering I am a robot and all.”
Test Tube: “Yep!”
Pizza Steve: “Mmm, nice. Oh, speaking of, Test Tube, I actually have a question for you- and Blue, too, I guess.”
Blue gives a thumbs up from the kitchen.
Test Tube: “Sure! What is it?”
Pizza Steve: “So basically, all the dudes on my team - except Flowey, but he got overruled so his opinion really doesn’t matter - want to make an alliance thingamajig between our two teams, since I’d like to say we’re already pretty close as is!”
Test Tube: “Hmm…”
Test Tube thinks for a moment.
Test Tube: “Yeah, why not? I don’t see any harm in it!”
Blue gives an affirmative thumbs up, accepting the offer.
Pizza Steve: “Sick!”
Pizza Steve walked out of the room and hopped back onto the couch.
Pizza Steve: “The deal is done, it’s official!”
N: “Yay!”
Amelia: “That’s… nice.”
The people in the main room chill for a while, before Kris stumbles in from outside, running and heading to the back of the shelter. From outside, odd sounds are heard as the unmistakable screeching of Enderman is audibly booming.
Pizza Steve: “Oh that can’t be good.”
Charlie the Unicorn: “We’ve gotta run.”
Everyone but N and Test Tube ran the way Kris went, as both were led by Torch God. The entity shatters the shelter in the background as the three flee.
N: “Oh cheese and crackers, this isn’t good!”
Torch God writes ‘I FEEL BAD FOR’
‘THE OTHERS…’
Test Tube: “Yeah, me too…”
Test Tube has a realization.
Test Tube: “Oh no, we left Blue!”
N: “I don’t think we have time to get him, Test Tube-”
A loud crash is heard in the background.
N: “-Judging by that!!!”
N’s wings withdraw from his body as he flies away, leaving Test Tube and Torch God to continue running alone.
Test Tube: “What’s he doing???”
Torch God writes ‘THE SMART THING’
‘USING HIS ABILITIES’
‘TO HIS ADVANTAGE’
Up ahead, N slams into a wall.
‘...OR NOT’
The two reach the end of the hall, and realize there’s nowhere to go from there.
N: “Oww… my head…”
Test Tube: “Oh geez we’re screwed!”
The entity starts lumbering towards the three. Torch God surrounds N to try and get him to get up. After a short bit, he complies.
N: “Okay, I think I’m feeling better! Time to fight!”
N flies towards the entity, but it smacks him into the wall, making his head fly off.
Test Tube: “...”
Torch God writes ‘JESUS CHRIST’.
But then N’s head regenerates.
N: “I’m not dying yet, really-frightening-up-close shadow creature!”
N shoots rockets at the entity, but they all reflect off. N narrowly dodges the rebounded missiles.
N: “Okay, uh, that’s an issue.”
Test Tube: “Just get out of there!”
N: “But if I do you guys will die-”
N gets smacked out of the sky and into the ground, this time not being able to regenerate as the entity plucks him apart to prevent it from happening.
Test Tube: “That was just even more brutal…”
The entity adjusts its focus to Test Tube and Torch God, running quickly. Test Tube and Torch God brace for impact as the entity collides, shattering Test Tube and taking out some of Torch God’s torches. Torch God recoils violently as they smack the creature, charring its skin slightly. As the beast is about to take out the rest of Torch God’s body, Red and Nikoly slam into it.
Red: “Ow!”
Nikoly: “Oof!”
Red rubs his head as Nikoly leaps up to meet face-to-face with the entity.
Nikoly: “...”
Nikoly: “Well, isn’t that just great! Hahahaha-”
Nikoly gets pounded into the ground violently. Torch God makes a (:| face. Red starts freaking out before the entity severs him in half, his top half disappearing completely due to Among Us logic. Torch God imitates a blink before the beast looks at them. They’re about to strike when Torch God gets teleported out, alongside Nacho. Everyone else not on RCoKJ gets revived shortly thereafter.
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “And there we have it! Since Nacho and Torch God survived until the end, Not Naming It That will have a free immunity for the next challenge.”
Plasma Ball?: “Well, that’s pleasant!”
Artificer and the Knight both look at Plasma Ball before stepping away from her. She looks confused.
Plankton: “Wait, wait, wait, you managed to survive the entire time??? How in Neptune’s name did you manage that???”
Nacho: “Being cool.”
Plankton gives an unamused look. Torch God makes an eye-rolling motion.
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “So, with that out of the way… Viewers! It’s time to vote for the people of Royal Circle of King Julien! Poll down below, as per usual. Seeya!”
VOTING LINK: [ENDED]
Blue is sitting at a table with Science Bear in a room. It’s eerily quiet. Blue taps the table impatiently, waiting for Science Bear to say something like he usually would… but nothing happens. After a bit, Test Tube enters the room.
Test Tube: “Blue, Science Bear… what are you guys doing up so late?...”
Blue scratches the back of his head, then points to Science Bear, who turns around monotonously, his eyes red.
Test Tube: “Geez, what’s going on with his eyes?”
Blue shrugs, as Science Bear says nothing. Awkward silence ensues for a moment.
Test Tube: “...Science Bear, you’re never this quiet, what’s up?”
Blue tells Test Tube that he hasn’t spoken for the entire two hours that the two have been in the room. Test Tube looks concerned.
Test Tube: “That’s not good… In the morning we can try to figure out what happened to him… But it’s late, you should go to bed.”
Blue rolls his nonexistent eyes, and points out that Test Tube’s awake.
Test Tube: “I just woke up, Blue, it’s not like I was staying up all night like you are!”
Blue silently laughs, before getting out of his seat. He figures that he probably should actually go to bed.
Test Tube: “Good, it’s not healthy to pull an all-nighter. Trust me.”
Blue and Test Tube leave the room. Science Bear remains sitting in the chair he’s in, unnervingly still…
Notes:
did you guys know that apparently ao3 doesnt recognize 'welp' and 'morse' as words? yeah me neither until pasting this episode in
Chapter 10: Episode 10 - Wolf in Sheep's Clothing
Notes:
definitely a change of pace from how long it took for last episode to release, isn't it?
anyways yeah some things happen in this episode. its a bit crazy
Chapter Text
The episode starts with N walking down a hallway.
N: “Woo, I am tired after that game! Better get some rest before it’s time for the challenge!”
N stretches his arms before opening the door next to him, walking in casually… before he notices Ploque laying face down on the couch in the room.
N: “Uh…”
Ploque looks up, barely moving.
Ploque: “...What is it.”
N: “I was just- coming in here, like I normally do every day! Uh, what are you doing here though? This room’s usually empty…”
Ploque: “Mental health break. Or, more like breakdown…”
Ploque groans as she gets up.
Ploque: “But I guess I don’t even get to have that.”
N blinks.
N: “Do you wanna… talk about it? I mean- If you don’t, that’s fine, I’ll just go somewhere else!-”
Ploque: “Wait, really?”
N: “...Yeah?”
Ploque: “Color me surprised. I thought nobody actually gave two shits about me.”
N scratched the back of his head as he walked over to Ploque and sat down on the couch.
N: “Why… is that, exactly?”
Ploque: “It’s… It’s a long story…”
N: “Well, we have time! It’ll be a while before the elimination should start!”
Ploque sighs.
Ploque: “Well, better to tell someone, I guess… I just… feel outcasted. And disliked by, like, the universe or something stupid like that. I got stuck on a team I didn’t want to be on just because I didn’t get to another team in time, almost all of my teammates are annoying at least and straight up horrendous at worst, the one person I truly like on my team has integrated in while I’m still stuck here on the sidelines, I keep getting taunted by people for things outside of control, I had a horrible injury for multiple challenges and nobody did jack shit about it, and for some godforsaken I got promoted to second-in-command of my team even though I don’t even want to be on it in the first place! ”
Ploque: “...And, if that wasn’t enough, it took until last challenge for someone to truly feel a drop of sympathy, and it was one of those fucking entity things! Of all things, it was that! I just…”
Ploque curls up.
Ploque: “...”
Ploque: “...I just don’t feel like doing any of this shit anymore.”
Silence ensues for a moment. N looks away, trying to think of something to say.
N: “Well…”
N: “I can kinda relate… in a way? And what I learned is, you just need to take any opportunity that comes around! …Or, at least, that’s what I took from it… Yeah, you’ll have bad days, and sometimes really really bad days, but it’s not like it’ll stay like that forever!”
Ploque sits silently for a moment, before silently nodding.
N: “And, hey, if you ever need someone to talk to, I’ll be here for you, alright?”
Ploque once again sits in silence… before she suddenly hugs N, catching him off-guard.
Ploque: “Thank you so much.”
N: “Oh- uh- yeah, you’re welcome! Though- uh- you’re squeezing me a bit too much-”
Ploque: “Shit sorry-”
Ploque lets go.
Ploque: “Did that- did that hurt or anything?-”
N: “Nonono, it’s fine!”
Ploque sighs in relief.
Ploque: “...”
Ploque: “But really, thank you for actually… caring.”
N: “No problem, Ploquester!”
Ploque snorts, caught off-guard by the stupid nickname.
Ploque: “ Ploquester? ”
N: “Hey, I think it’s a good nickname!”
Ploque rolls her nonexistent eyes jokingly.
Ploque: “Mmm, yeah, sure…”
N harrumphs in a joking manner.
N: “Well, fine then, ya meaniehead!”
Beat.
Then the two laugh.
Ploque: “Really… needed that laugh.”
N: “Hey, that’s what I’m here for!”
N grins as he puts his hand on Ploque’s shoulder. Ploque smiles back.
Cut to all of BFDI - excluding Red - sitting in a planning room. Squid looks at Blocky irritatedly as Blocky is finicking with his book.
Squid: “What the hell is taking so long?”
Blocky: “Hey, it’s not my fault the book is being stupidly cryptic!”
Nikoly: “Whazzit saying?”
Blocky: “Some ‘durrrr the challenge planned won’t happen durrrr' bullcrap!”
Tree-y: “♪ that is not good and not what it should ♪”
Tree-y: “...be. doing”
Sundew claps in sarcasm.
Sundew: “Anyways, what in Pantala is up with it then? It’s supposed to be telling the truth, is it not?”
Blocky: “Yeah!”
Squid: “Then why the hell won’t it say what the challenge is?!”
Blocky: “I dunno, man, ask the book itself!”
A light goes off in Blocky’s mind.
Blocky: “I got it!”
Blocky writes ‘why are you being cryptic’ in the book. The response is… interesting.
‘EVENTS I CANNOT PREDICT WILL OCCUR. I CANNOT TELL YOU ABOUT THEM, FOR I DO NOT KNOW. BUT THEY WILL CHANGE THE CHALLENGE, AND YOU WILL HAVE TO STAY VIGILANT TO SURVIVE.’
Blocky looks confusedly at the book.
Nikoly: “...so, uh, what did it tell you?”
Blocky: “Some spiel about how some event’s gonna happen that changes the challenge and we have to stay vigilant to survive or something?”
Squid: “I say we follow its advice. Considering it is a book of truths, it seems necessary to adhere to its suggestions.”
Tree-y: “♪ but who will tell red he can’t hear what we’ve said ♪”
Sundew: “I’ll do it.”
Sundew walks out.
Nikoly: “Well… that just happened!-”
Squid smacks Nikoly across the room with blocks.
Nikoly: “Owwwwwww…”
Cut to Sundew. She walks past the cafeteria, where RCoKJ is having a meeting as per usual, however she does stop briefly to listen in.
King Julien: “Well, that’s peculiar, both Lamb and Ploque haven’t shown up!”
Spider-Ham: “I think I can get a sense of why Ploque’s missing, but Lamb?... No dice.”
Donkey: “So what’re we gonna do?”
King Julien: “I’m not entirely sure, I’ll be honest with you! I’d ask Ploque, but… she’s missing right now, which is pretty inconvenient if I do say so myself.”
Rocket: “Well, maybe someone can go find Lamb?”
Spider-Ham: “I dunno, he could be doing something secret, and look, I’m a guy of morals, I’m not going to barge in on his stuff!”
Carl: “I, for one, condone said barging into his stuff.”
Spider-Ham: “Well, that’s just rude!”
Carl: “I never said I wasn’t rude.”
Sundew decides not to eavesdrop any further, and leaves to continue looking for Red. Cut to Artificer lying against the wall. Plankton walks up to her, covered in soot.
Artificer: “...Nacho did something again, didn’t she?”
Plankton: “Yep. Threw a fake bomb at me! I don’t even know where she got that!”
Artificer sighs.
Artificer: “Sometimes, I regret joining this team.”
Plankton: “I wish I could’ve gotten away from her too.”
Artificer: “...I was also talking about Bill, for the time he was here.”
Plankton: “Yeah, he was horrible as well!”
Artificer: “And then there’s… Plasma Ball…”
Artificer shivers. Plankton picks up on this.
Plankton: “Why’d you react that way to her? Yeah, sure, she’s being really weird right now, but you seem irrationally scared!”
Artificer: “I’ll… tell you at a different time.”
Plankton squints.
Plankton: “Sure, whatever. Now I’m going to get out of here and wash myself off before Nacho decides to screw with me again!”
Plankton walks off, and almost immediately screams as an ‘explosion’ can be heard down the hall. Artificer peers to see Nacho holding a fake bomb and Plankton covered in even more soot. Artificer holds her hand up to her temple, trying not to die from pure irritation. Cut to IDIOT, minus Science Bear, and CF, minus N, chilling in a room.
Pizza Steve: “Hey, where… is Science Bear? Haven’t seen the dude in a while.”
Test Tube: “Good question! He’s… been weird ever since last challenge. Red eyes, a lack of responding to anyone. And I can’t figure out why! I’ve tried, but… it eludes me.”
Pizza Steve: “Well, that doesn’t sound like any good.”
Amelia: “What… about N?”
Didn’t he say that he was leaving to rest?
Charles: “I thought he said he was leaving to rest, or something like that.”
…well, I just said that, but alright then.
Amelia: “Oh… right, I… forgot…”
Blue questions where he is.
Pizza Steve: “He always enters this one room every time we’re done with our morning board game session, he’s probably in there!”
Charlie the Unicorn: “Are you suggesting we go get him? Because I’m perfectly content staying here instead.”
Flowey: “Yeah, I don’t care about him enough to go grab him.”
Wheatley: “How rude!”
Flowey: “Cry about it.”
Pizza Steve: “I was just saying where he is, we don’t need to go get him. He’s probably alone in there for good reasons!”
Kris nods in agreement.
Finally, cut to Lamb. He’s sitting in the waiting room for the elimination, a deadpan expression on his face. The rest of RCoKJ, excluding Ploque, enters the room.
King Julien: “Ah, there you are, Lamb! We were wondering where you had gone.”
Lamb: “Yes, hello.”
Rocket: “We still need Ploque, though!”
Spider-Ham: “Oh, I’m sure she’ll be here soon!”
…Twenty minutes pass, and Ploque isn’t there.
Spider-Ham: “...”
Spider-Ham: “I think I was wrong.”
Lamb: “ Couldn’t have guessed… ”
Donkey: “Hey, what’s with the attitude, Lamb? You’re not usually like that!”
Lamb: “Private matters.”
Lamb says this in a suspicious way… but Donkey doesn’t pick up on this. Nobody does, actually.
Carl: “Maybe she died.”
Rocket: “I’m sure she didn’t die!”
Koe opens the door to the waiting room.
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “Hello, Royal Circle of King Julien!... one of you seems to be missing.”
King Julien: “Apologies, but none of us actually know where she is!”
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “Hm, okay then. Well, I guess I can grab her then-”
As if on cue, Ploque opens the door on the other side.
Ploque: “I’m here.”
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “Nnnnnnnevermind, we’re all set! To the elimination!”
Everyone enters the elimination room.
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “So, this time around we got 27 votes! A fair bit less than last time, but eh. And as always, we’re doing the prize votes first. Our first person who won’t be getting to spin, with a flat 0 votes, is…”
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “Spider-Ham!”
Spider-Ham: “Aw, shucks.”
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “Since there’s no reasons to read, let’s go to the next people not getting to spin! Said people are Donkey and King Julien, with 1 and 2 votes respectively.”
Donkey: “Dang!”
King Julien: “Saddening! But I have hope for getting it next time.”
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “Donkey’s sole reason is ‘d o n k e h’.”
Donkey: “Is that Shrek???”
Rocket: “Who?”
Donkey: “My best friend from where I come from, duh!”
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “Next is King Julien’s vote reason, which is ‘ALL HAIL KING JULIEN’.”
King Julien: “How pleasant, even the voters seem to approve of my glorious kingdom!”
Ploque: “...Yet you still didn’t win the vote…”
King Julien: “It’s the thought that counts!”
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “And next to not spin is… Rocket, with 3 votes!”
Rocket: “:(“
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “One reason is ‘Honestly I don't really know, I just chose someone that wasn't Lamb lol
-BigMinionD’.”
Lamb gives no reaction.
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “And the other reason is ‘i love phighting! also, you sadly missed a phestival :( team possessed vs team bitten! i don't have the results yet, but team possessed is winning so far! -para
/(°`w°)>’
‘catshot is outside your window
i like rockwt probably because i am suffering a severe phgitjbg addiction.. rocket silly 🔥🔥🔥 (hes one of my phavorites but sorry i have to go with biograft for my number one phavorite)

-zapper’.”
Rocket: "The food tastes pretty good!"
Ploque: “I’ll be honest, I couldn’t tell you anything about whatever I saw, I never really… paid attention to it…”
Spider-Ham: “What’s up with that morse code?”
Lamb: “Likely nothing important.”
Lamb subtly insinuates that he knows what he means, which only Ploque picks up on. She shuffles away from him awkwardly.
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “Now, the fourth and next-to-last person not spinning is Carl, with 4 votes!”
Carl: “That’s pretty sad, y’know.”
Ploque: “ I’m not sad about it… ”
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “First reason for him is ‘GOOD NEWS I AM NO LONGER SICK BAD NEWS MY AUTISM IS FUCKING KICKING IN SINCE JOTH THIS GOT UPDATED AND A ROLEPLAY IM EXCITED FOR STARTED YEAHHAAHHAA
right sorry. anyways. you get my vote because I have emotional investment here. Go buy some blood flavored shaved ice or something okay byeee -paleskowitz’.”
Rocket: “Do they make blood flavored shaved ice?!”
Carl: “They should. I’m sure it’d be pretty popular!”
Donkey: “Pretty sure you’re the only one here that eats blood, man!”
Carl: “Cause I’m living life as it should be lived. You guys? You’re just missing out.”
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “Next is ‘He's Carl.’. Very descriptive.”
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “Last is ‘hands are tasty and you can't deny it.’.”
Ploque: “Wh- who in their right mind would think that?!”
Carl: “Me, of course.”
Ploque: “You’re not in your right mind. Wrong mind, really...”
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “Final two! Woohoo! We got Ploque versus Lamb! One of you two got 6 votes, while the other got 11 - but which of you will it be? We’ll just have to see! Heh, that rhymes.”
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “First, we’ll read Lamb’s vote reasons - starting with ‘Lamb is delicious in stew - ADAGE’.”
Lamb: “ How funny. ”
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “Next is ‘I fully support the cause mr lambert’.”
Rocket: “What cause?”
Lamb: “It’s a… secret project of mine.”
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “Third up is ‘i KNOW i literally just voted to eliminate him. But’.”
Lamb: “What a waste of a vote, then.”
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “Next is ‘He is a funny sheep’.”
Ploque: “‘Funny’ is not the word I would use…”
Lamb stares at Ploque with a deadpan expression. Ploque shuffles away further.
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “Fifth reason is ‘AHAHAHHAHAHA… it’s so much fun seeing all this CHAOS happening. It’s nice for another form of entertainment once in a while. Keep it up and send me a few [censorationship] once in a while. Also this isn’t the usual person here today, they are… busy with something, an elaborate… tape they are working on again. Also call me C, and- AH [bad word] THE CAT IS HERE-..- C’.”
King Julien: “And what does that have to do with Lamb?”
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “It’s just something vote reasons tend to do, don’t worry about it! Anyway, the last reason for Lamb is ‘ERROR: CAN’T BE BOTHERED RIGHT NOW, TRY AGAIN LATER’. …well, that’s certainly a note to end on.”
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “Onto Ploque! We first got ‘i love adventure forward 2 so much!!!!’.”
Ploque: “I’m not sure what that has to do with me, but…”
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “Second is ‘Oh my god please give her SOMETHING. She has been through TOO MUCH!’.”
Rocket: “What… have you gone through, Ploque?”
Ploque: “...”
Ploque turns away from Rocket silently.
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “Third reasono is ‘Get something for that head injury
I am he who giveth lore
Lamb has a’... Has a what?”
I’m sure you could guess what got blocked out by Lamb.
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “Weird, but whatever.”
Ploque: “My head’s better now, thankfully, but… I appreciate the sentiment, I guess…”
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “Next is ‘OH NO I didn’t realize that another lore guy was here, but it’s okay you can just call my barthalamul bob instead, anyways LOOORRRE!!!!
Carl has a friend lama who try’s to stop him from doing his violent actions by explaining that doing them is wrong. (He has yet to succeed.)
Donkey used to ware clothes but stopped because he was made fun of for wearing them.
(So basically he is has been naked this whole time.[just another reason to vote him out.{Stupid idiot.}])
King julien has a fan boy known as mort who may be an Eldridge horror that could end the entire multiverse without even blinking. (But that’s just a theory, A FILM THEORY!!!!)
Lambs entire species has been slaughtered to extinction leaving him as the last lamb in his universe. (Though he still an evil shit.)
Don’t know much about ploque but she is cool.
Rocket is a Roblox game character like science bear. (You should totally talk to her you two might get along.)
Spider-ham was a regular spider that was bitten by a radioactive pig. (So he might be a pig-spider hybrid or something.)’.”
King Julien: “What’s this about Lamb being evil? And Mort being… whatever an ‘eldridge horror’ is?”
Donkey: “Hey, I’m sure they’re just joking about the evil Lamb part! I dunno about that second one, though.”
Ploque: “I’m… not surprised there’s nothing about me…”
Rocket: “What’s a Roblox?”
Spider-Ham: “Are we not going to touch on the naked part-”
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “Next one is ‘I got invested :) Also, please send this next part to the center of the moon, thanks :D :’.”
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “...There’s no moon here, I’ll just send it to some random place’s moon, I guess.”
Koe sends the rest of the vote reason to a random dimension’s moon…
‘"To the Mythicals, I have to say something. Hyehehe is gone for now, and might be for a while, though you might be able to save them. I can't say any more, but Cybop might know where the competition they were in is. They're currently trapped in something called the THoE, so hopefully Buzzinga can get there, but if not, then Boo'qwurm or the Celestials might know something about it. Good luck, their fate rests in your hands, claws, feathers, and flippers
-Tayoga" -Tayoga’
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “That was weird. Anyways, fifth reason! Which is just ‘cool’. …Wow.”
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “Last is ‘Considering everything that's happened to her so far, especially in this episode, she's the obvious choice from both a story-moving and moral perspective.’.”
Rocket: “I’m pretty concerned now…”
Donkey: “Me too, actually! Ploque, what happened?”
Ploque stays silent.
Spider-Ham: “Guys, don’t pressure her, if it was really bad, she probably won’t want to open up so easily… Especially when someone she doesn’t like is around. No offense, Carl.”
Carl: “Don’t worry, none taken.”
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “Now, let’s see who’ll spin!”
Drumroll, and…
Lamb has 6 votes.
Ploque has 11.
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “Ploque gets to spin the Incredible Wheel of Luck with the grand 11!”
Ploque: “Cool, I guess…”
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “Now, for the last two reasons! First requires me to send it out to people again, so I’ll do that real quick…”
Koe suddenly grows four extra arms and generates four copies of the reason, then sends the reasons out. His four arms then disappear.
Rocket: “...How did you do that?’
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “Don’t ask, I dunno. Anyway… ‘you've had to deal with a bunch of shit bro god damn
- Ember Nyxtical (EmberTheAlphaWolf)
oh yeah since we can also apparently send messages to others too how bout i do this now
to Test Tube: hi, again im sorry abt the exp21 thing. here have these images that will hopefully bring some good memories (insert images from https://imgur.com/a/Cews0vs here)
to Amelia: hi i hope ur doing alr :D
to N: if i could i would give you headpat ^^
to Blocky: hehehehaw funny doings :)’.”
King Julien: “As these reasons go on, I grow more and more worried for our dear friend and second-in-command Ploque.”
Ploque: “ ...yeah, friend… ”
Ploque whispers this, so nobody hears it.
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “And finally, we have ‘hi im here to say some . attemptjng to be nice stuff to ploque could you possibly . uhm yknow make this only available to tyou iwanna be nice/nf :bangbang’. Well, alrighty then!”
Koe hands the vote reason to Ploque. The rest of it reads…
‘not gonna be like that forever, iunderSTAND that probably doesnt seem true ,, but itook the time to get to know you and like basically every other competitor in this show and like ithink you deserve to spin the wheel on this team, because yeah SOFAR rockets absolutely really awesome and cool, king julien is a really neat guy who iknow does not have any ill will, lamb freaks me the fuck outcarl freaks me the fuck out, spiderham tries his best and intends for the best, and donkey is .donkey but just because you sometimes dont bring something unqiue to the tablet and sometimes get bullied a shitton doesnt mean that everything is absolute shit (even though im .pretty sure youve never said that but point still stands) !! but with that said ialso understand how everything seems shitty rn and so. all im gonna say is. take your time, do your best. youre a really great cool character imo and i appreciate you atleast seeing how the situation is, and also iunderstand sometkmes shit can be intolerable but ipromise its not gonna be that forever do your best ok !!!! rooting for you, maybe try getting along wjth other people if you wish btw it can be nice ok bye !!!!!! - goober’
Ploque pockets the vote reason, feeling slightly better. She then gets up from her seat without a word and walks to the spin wheel. The wheel lands on…
‘Lockpick’
Ploque: “...A lockpick?”
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “There’s a bunch of random stuff on there, don’t question it!”
Ploque: “...O…kay…”
Ploque sits back down in her seat.
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “Now, for the main event, the elimination! First off, Carl, King Julien, and Ploque are all safe with no votes!”
Koe throws ice cubes to all three. Ploque seems unusually dissatisfied by this outcome…
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “And next safe is Rocket, with 3 votes!”
Koe throws an ice cube to Rocket.
Rocket: “3 votes? That seems like an awful lot…”
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “First reason Rocket received is ‘ERROR: CAN’T BE BOTHERED RIGHT NOW, TRY AGAIN LATER’... that again. I’d rather not ask.
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “His other reason is ‘Please…. someone from the Rocket hating phorum.. PLEASE HELP- [Loud bang]… - prerecorded tape… on the back it says “GOT YOU >:D- Kairos”’. …Well then. Both of these reasons are odd, but alright, I guess?...”
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “Ok, that aside, final three! Donkey, Lamb, and Spider-Ham!”
Spotlights shine onto the three. Donkey and Spider-Ham are both scared, while Lamb looks… oddly calm.
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “Two of you got 4 votes, while one ended up with a big ol’ 16! For reasons, we’ll start with Donkey - ‘Hello I shot my self in the head last time and now I’m a ghost because hell apparently has a lot of paperwork to go through before I get dragged in and it will take until the end of this show until it’s done so I’m going to continue voting as usual.
Anyway I voted donkey because he stupid and ugly
And because I imagine that the lamb would find a way out of getting eliminated for story reasons:/’.”
Donkey: “I’m not stupid, or ugly!”
King Julien: “Story reasons? What does that entail, host of ours?”
Koe shrugs.
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “I dunno. Anyways, reason two - ‘Not helpful and also not funny’.”
Donkey: “Wow, the slander!”
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “Third is ‘.. asmuch as i enjoy donkey very much ,, idony thjnk he really does much for the team IM SORRY BUDDY youre very cool imo . but. theres other people imsorry man no hard feelings-goober’.”
Donkey: “Oh, good, a voter that isn’t insulting me! Thank you!”
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “...That’s ironic timing, because of the last reason - ‘I figured, since other people have done it, that I might as well put my analysis of these characters from a story perspective (minus Ploque, considering my spin reason). I'll start with the least deserving and go to the most deserving.
Lamb - Major story contributor from multiple standpoints, so it'd be weird for him to go now.
King Julien - He's the one holding the team together - the team has him in the name, after all. Voting him out would surely cause chaos.
Carl - Out of the minor characters of the team, Carl's arguably the best. He may have next to no appearances and no story drive, but he makes up for it in the comedic value he brings to scenes.
Rocket - Acts as the main support to Ploque, but doesn't do much else. I also feel like even that role has depleted slightly as he's become more accustomed to working with the rest of the team and less on Ploque's side of things.
Spider-Ham - Really just a nothing character. He has potential, but really doesn't take advantage of it.
Donkey - He's Spider-Ham, but ten times worse, considering he really doesn't have any potential and he's clearly just a meme character added without a second thought.’.”
Donkey: “Oh, you’ve got to be kidding me!”
King Julien: “Why, thank you, voter!”
Spider-Ham: “A nothing character? That feels a bit rude, if I have to be frank!”
Spider-Ham: “...Get it? Frank? Like frankfurter?”
Beat.
Rocket: “I thought that was funny!”
Spider-Ham: “Thank you!”
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “Time for Lamb’s reasons, starting with ‘Your rEally starting to piss mE off a lot’.”
King Julien: “What did Lamb do to piss the voters off?”
Ploque: “ I can think of one thing. ”
Ploque once again whispers this.
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “Next is ‘Lamb has become way too dangerous. I can't say why because it'll most likely be blocked out again but they need to be eliminated.
-BigMinionD’.”
Spider-Ham: “...Why would that be blocked out?...”
Lamb shrugs, even though he’s fully aware.
Carl: “Sounds like a government conspiracy. That’s why we should burn it down.”
Ploque: “Oh come the fuck on, can you spend one day without spewing your murder nonsense?”
Carl: “It’s a condition.”
Ploque: “ Sure… What’s it called?”
Carl: “Uh…”
Carl: “Murder-itis.”
Ploque: “That’s not even a little bit believable.”
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “Third reason is ‘fuck you HEAVEN SAYS LINES BAAMAMAMAM just kidding. koe if you wanna just like reference a Heaven says lyric or something, my brain is kinda too full to think of one right now 💔
-paleskowitz’.”
Beat.
Donkey: “I don’t get it.”
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “Last reason is ‘If this vote reason is read after a few for Lamb, you all already know why I voted them. If it wasn't, Lamb already knows why I voted them.’.”
Rocket: “Does ‘you all’ mean us or the voter people? Because, I don’t know what this guy’s talking about at all!”
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “Don’t ask me, I don’t know what every voter means. Anyways, Spider-Ham reasons, the last ones before I reveal who’s eliminated! - ‘you'd probably be better off as food. no hate! -para’.”
Spider-Ham: “Wha- hey! How rude!”
Ploque: “You had us make hot dogs in the cooking challenge.”
Spider-Ham: “...And?”
Ploque facepalms in response.
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “Next is ‘i dunno i dont remember him doing anything like important.: or as i said last episode, maybe my memorys being shit again. was maybe gonna vote carl or lamb but i phelt a lil silly :333
-zapper’.”
Carl: “Woah, hey now, why would you ever consider voting for me?”
Rocket: “You’re… scary.”
Carl: “I mean, yeah, but what’s a little hand-eating gonna do?”
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “Third is ‘mmmm ham sandwich’.”
Spider-Ham: “Not again!”
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “And lastly, we have ‘Someone tell Charlie he’s lucky my vote didn’t send through last episode, I was going to include “Put a banana in your ear” in my vote reason - ADAGE’. Ooh, evil!”
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “Now, with all said and done… let’s see who’s out!”
Donkey and Spider-Ham both tense up as Lamb stays stagnant. The drumroll begin as the final votes are scored…
…But Ploque intervenes.
Ploque: “I’ll go out. I quit.”
Silence.
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “...You can’t just quit at the end of the elimination-”
Ploque: “Look, I don’t want to be here anymore. I… I really don’t care for this competition, and… I was told to take the opportunity when it comes. This is my opportunity. To be free from all the shit I’ve had to deal with.”
Rocket: “Ploque, no, you can’t just leave!”
Ploque: “Look, Rocket, I’m sorry. But I can’t just stay here, on this team, with these people. ”
Ploque glares at Carl.
Carl: “Hey, I didn’t do anything!”
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “Okay, look, even if you quit it’s not like you’re just going to go home immediately or anything-”
Ploque: “I could care less, I just want to get away.”
Silence ensues for a moment, before Koe sighs.
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “I really won’t change your mind, huh? Well, I guess I can-”
Suddenly, a sword is brought to Ploque’s neck, shocking and silencing both her and Koe, alongside the rest of RCoKJ. The screen pans to show Lamb holding the sword up to Ploque’s neck.
Lamb: “You aren’t going anywhere . I planned all this out, I made sure everything would go my way when I was eliminated, but no, you just HAD to screw it up. It’s sad, really, you were the one I least expected to screw up my plans… but I won’t let this ‘opportunity’ go to waste.”
King Julien: “Lamb, what are you doing?!”
Lamb turns to King Julien, his sword still right at Ploque’s neck.
Lamb: “What I’ve been planning all this time.”
Lamb laughs to himself.
Lamb: “I really only played along with the whole kingdom thing so I could gather my own minions, y’know. I could care less about your stupid medieval fantasies. I work for myself and only myself.”
Lamb then turns to Koe.
Lamb: “And I am getting that gemstone.”
Lamb lowers his sword from Ploque’s neck and kicks her away, slamming her into the wall. He then slashes Koe in a quick second, not killing him, but definitely injuring him. Lamb then grabs one of the cords from inside him and inspects it, seemingly reading what it says in code.
Lamb: “Perfect. The location of the prize… time for me to finally rule everything, and please The One Who Waits.”
Lamb dashes out the window, shattering it. Everyone is left appalled, especially Ploque, who’s slightly hurt from the hefty kick Lamb hit her with. She eventually gets up.
Ploque: “We need to stop him. Now. ”
Spider-Ham: “How are we going to do that?!”
Ploque: “I can use the lockpick to get into the host’s room. Then we can announce a challenge to stop that stupid sheep…”
Donkey: “Are you- are you sure that’s going to work? He’s pretty dang strong!”
Ploque sighs.
Ploque: “It’s… it’s our best shot.”
RCoKJ rushes to Koe’s office, Rocket supporting Ploque since she can’t exactly walk too well. Ploque opens up the door with her lockpick, and sits down at Koe’s desk. She turns on the announcement mic, letting her words be heard throughout the entire building, and even the outside.
Ploque: “I need everyone’s attention right now - the host is currently injured, so I’m announcing the challenge. Kill Lamb. He’s gone too far, and is going to steal the prize and ruin our very lives. ”
Ploque then turns the mic off.
King Julien: “It’s best we go now and stop him as well, we wouldn’t want to end up on the chopping block again! Let’s go, loyal subjects!”
King Julien runs off to head outside, as everyone else follows him, Ploque still being supported by her fellow team members. Cut to Artificer, who immediately gets up. The Knight and Torch God also exit from their respective rooms.
Artificer: “Well, that’s no good. We need to strike, now. ”
Torch God writes ‘BUT WE ARE’
‘IMMUNE THIS CHALLENGE’
Artificer: “It’s not about the competition, it’s about making sure we don’t die from Lamb’s hand… because trust me, he will try and he will succeed.”
The Knight nods in agreement. Torch God stays silent, before writing ‘OK FAIR POINT’
‘BUT TF WE GONNA DO’
‘IF LAMB IS SUPPOSEDLY’
‘ALL POWERFUL OR SMTH’
Artificer: “If Nikoly managed to kill Lamb in one challenge, I’m sure we can figure out a way.”
Nacho enters the room.
Nacho: “Hey, I think Plasma Ball’s trying to kill Plankton. Pretty funny. Anyways, what’s happening?”
Artificer, the Knight, and Torch God all look at Nacho.
Artificer: “Lamb is going to fucking kill all of us if we don’t kill him first.”
Nacho: “Good luck with that, then.”
Nacho leaves to her room.
Artificer: “Wait- what was that about Plasma Ball trying to kill Plankton?!”
The Knight rushes down the hall and sees Plasma Ball trying to crush Plankton, who is just barely dodging her.
Plankton: “A little help here?! Plasma Ball tried killing me when I tried to head outside for some weird reason, and Nacho basically left me here to DIE!”
The Knight immediately acknowledges why, but decides to talk about that later and goes straight for the kill on Plasma Ball, shattering her with a nail to the head.
Plankton: “Geez, what was up with her? She’s never done that before!”
Artificer and Torch God then enter.
Artificer: “Long story short, all this time she’s been mind controlled by Lamb.”
Torch God makes a :0 face.
Plankton: “What in Neptune’s name?! How?! Why?! And how did you figure that out?!”
Artificer: “First two questions I cannot answer, but we figured it out last challenge. That’s why I was acting differently about Plasma Ball earlier.”
Plankton: “I see. Well, now we gotta get out there and stop Lamb, because I don’t want any more brain-dead zombies of his roaming around if he can just do that! I’ll stay here and build something to help out, you guys just go head in and fight!”
Artificer, the Knight, and Torch God all rush outside as fast as they can, as Plankton heads off to work. Cut to Blocky, Nikoly, Squid, and Tree-y.
Tree-y: “♪ this cant end well its not very swell ♪”
Squid: “Yes, we can all already tell that.”
Blocky: “Guess that’s what the book meant, huh? Well, good thing we have these-”
Blocky pulls out a custom-made minigun.
Blocky: “Sick as hell miniguns!”
Squid: “Blocky, you’re the only one who has a minigun.”
Blocky: “Okay, well, it doesn’t sound as cool when I say ‘I’ instead of ‘we’, so gimme a break!”
Nikoly: “So, what’s the plan with… fighting Lamb?”
Squid: “Well, Nikoly, considering you’re the only person so far to have successfully killed him… You should be able to fight him well enough, and we can act as backup.”
Nikoly: “But I was pretty beat already before doing the whole transformy thingamajig, if that doesn’t happen I have a sliver of a chance! Plus, that was just a challenge, there’s a lot more at stake now, so… not entirely sure about that working, I’ll be honest.”
Tree-y: “♪ well we can try or else we might die ♪”
Blocky: “Yeah, what he said!”
Nikoly: “Ehhh, I guess I can make an attempt.”
Squid: “Good. Now let’s go and beat up this stupid sheep.”
The four exit the room. Cut to Sundew, who had just found Red when the announcement played.
Sundew: “...”
Red: “...”
Enderman’s there too. They’re just as confused.
Red: “...uh…”
Sundew: “Let’s just go.”
Enderman nods, and grabs Red and Sundew, before teleporting outside. Cut to IDIOT and CF.
Pizza Steve: “Oh, geez, that doesn’t sound good, bros!”
Charles: “It’s like the whole N thing all over again!”
Test Tube: “Well, I’d say it’s marginally worse this time, because we’re missing some people and we don’t know the confines of Lamb’s power! So we statistically have a… 2% chance of living at best…”
Blue gets up and pulls out his sword and a strength potion, then downs the potion immediately. He then crashes through a window to run outside.
Charlie the Unicorn: “Okay, I guess we’re all just running out there now.”
Flowey: “Hell yeah, I get to kick some ass!”
Of course that’s all he cares about.
The rest of the people within the room run after Blue, except for Amelia, who remains still. She glances outside, then sighs. Finally, cut to N, who’s currently flying up above, looking for Lamb.
N: “Oh, biscuits! How’d this even happen?”
N spots Lamb and dives towards him, but before he can reach him, a hefty punch by some other force sends him flying away. He gets up and sees what hit him… Science Bear?...
N: “Wha- Science Bear, what was that for?!”
Science Bear doesn’t respond, instead cracking his knuckles and rushing at N. N manages to fly up just in time, staying in the air as to be safe.
N: “Snap out of it, man, I’m trying to defeat Lamb here!”
Science Bear gives no reaction and instead lunges towards N, gripping onto his leg and pulling him down to the ground.
N: “AGH-”
Suddenly, a bunch of gunshots are heard as Science Bear limps over. N turns to see Blocky holding his sick as hell minigun.
Blocky: “Thank me later, let’s kick this guy’s bum!”
N and Blocky run towards Lamb, but Lamb senses this and shoots Hounds of Fate, striking away N. Blocky opens fire, but Lamb dodges all his bullets and strikes him with his sword, knocking Blocky down. As Lamb is just about to go for the kill, a dropkick from Artificer sends him falling, but Lamb gets back up and engages in sword-to-spear combat. Artificer eventually gets the upper hand and pushes away Lamb, allowing the Knight to rush in and grab N and Blocky to get them away from the fight.
Blocky: “Okay, this time I’ll thank you, but our team’s rivalry isn’t over!”
The Knight rolls their eyes, before turning around to watch the fight. Artificer and Lamb are slashing wildly at each other, but Lamb manages to get a good hit in and stabs Artificer in the eye.
Lamb: “One hit. All it takes to send you falling to the ground like a fish out of water. Pathetic, really-”
An explosion behind Lamb catches him off-guard, and he turns to see Enderman holding TNT. They throw a lit one, but Lamb strikes it back, though it doesn’t reach far enough to blow up in Enderman’s face. A strike from the back then hits Lamb as he turns around to see Flowey, who is laughing maniacally.
Flowey: “Ooh, you’re screwed now, fucker!”
Flowey then looks at Artificer by his… feet?...
Flowey: “Get out of here, you suck ass.”
Flowey sends Artificer flying away, before turning back to Lamb and shooting a bunch of projectiles at him. Lamb takes next to no hits, as he slowly approaches Flowey. Eventually, he manages to get close enough to the flower to slash his stem and kill him.
Blocky: “And there’s the first death, now we gotta work harder!”
Blocky pulls his minigun back out and fires, but gets smacked in the gut by an explosive Flaming Shot, sending him flying away.
N: “No!”
The Knight speeds towards Lamb, preparing to strike with their nail. However, Lamb parries and sends the Knight sliding away. Enderman appears behind Lamb and prepares to crush him with an anvil, but Lamb senses Enderman’s presence and kicks them away, before using Divine Blizzard to freeze Enderman.
Lamb: “All it took was some ice, and you’re nothing more than a statue.”
Lamb snickers to himself, before turning to N. N immediately flies up to avoid Lamb, but Lamb uses Enderman’s frozen body to get high enough to leap towards N and latch onto him.
N: “Ack! Get off!”
N shakes Lamb off, but Lamb uses a Divine Blast to send himself flying back up, before hitting N with Death’s Sweep, sending him flying off into the distance.
Lamb: “Well, that’s done with.”
Lamb begins heading further. Pan to behind the kitchens of episode 7, where Nikoly, Squid, and Tree-y are stationed.
Tree-y: “♪ i am kinda scared this experience raises hairs ♪”
Squid: “Look, we just need to distract Lamb long enough for Nikoly to get a finishing hit. Lamb’s sure to have been worn out enough from all that fighting.”
Tree-y: “♪ i suppose we can try but i dont wanna die ♪”
Squid: “We aren’t going to die.”
Nikoly: “Could.”
Squid: “You’re not helping.”
Squid pushes Tree-y out from behind the kitchens with blocks, sending him straight in Lamb’s way.
Tree-y: “♪ it is now fall ♪”
Tree-y’s leaves turn orange.
Tree-y: “♪ time for you to fall ♪”
Lamb: “You really think that’ll do anythi-”
Lamb suddenly falls down. Squid flies in and smacks Lamb with blocks. Lamb gets back up.
Lamb: “Oh, if it’s a fight you want, it’s a fight you’re going to get, you worthless idiots.”
Lamb rushes at Squid and slices, though Squid gets out of the way in time. Squid then summons spikes all around Lamb, but Lamb keeps dodging with perfect accuracy. Tree-y stands still, doing absolutely nothing.
Squid: “Give up, I can spend all day doing this.”
Lamb: “Oh, you think I’ll give up that easily? Tsk, tsk, I’d think you’d know better than to think that.”
Lamb uses Divine Blight to send Squid and Tree-y away from him, while poisoning both as well.
Squid: “Guh- what the hell is this feeling?”
Tree-y: “♪ i do not feel well this feelings not swell ♪”
Lamb: “You two failed to realize that I’m not just some pushover. I can crush you like a bug eighteen times over when you can only get a single hit, if even. I bid you adieu, as you suffer painfully.”
Lamb begins to walk off, but is almost stabbed in the chest by a scythe, just barely being able to grab it. Lamb then turns around to see Nikoly, holding scythes in both his hands.
Lamb: “You’re betraying me, I see?”
Nikoly: “Yeah, cause you’re insane! I mean, really, I might be a little crazy sometimes, but you’re beyond saving.”
Lamb: “Well, bring it on, then. This time I will beat you.”
Lamb and Nikoly rush towards each other and trade blows. Lamb sends out Cleansing Fire, but Nikoly knocks the fireballs away, before summoning living Espacoins to tear at Lamb. Lamb blows the Espacoins away with Divine Blast, before rushing and getting a strike straight in Nikoly’s chest. Nikoly still persists, however, and pummels Lamb, though it does nothing. Lamb ends up resorting to using Ichor Thrown to deal massive damage to Nikoly and leave a puddle of black ichor behind.
Nikoly: “Gh… ow…”
Lamb: “What did I say? You’re nothing compared to me.”
Lamb begins to charge up his final attack when Nikoly rises ominously, his skin becoming orange once again. Lamb curses under his breath.
NIKOLY: “Your payment is due. Please (#%(@%(T@#%(4@#%#@*($(*!@#TYhrjJHH To continue services.”
Lamb: “Oh, not this shit again.”
Nikoly’s eyes become realistic fish eyes as he angrily pulls out a ton of scythes, then sends them flying towards Lamb. Lamb hits most of them away, but gets struck in the chest by one. Lamb begins to charge towards Observed Nikoly, but is stabbed in the side by Charlie.
OBSERVED NIKOLY: “THEE KILLION COINS.”
Observed Nikoly spins his scythe around and stabs it into Lamb’s gut, but Lamb manages to hold on to life, using Death’s Sweep to send him away.
Charlie the Unicorn: “I’m still here, idiot!”
Charlie runs towards Lamb and uppercuts him with his horn, but Lamb shoots a Flaming Shot at him. Charlie slides behind Tree-y’s now-dead body to keep himself safe, letting Tree-y’s body catch fire in the process.
Charlie the Unicorn: “Yeah, good try, asshole, but I’ve dealt with enough shit that you can’t just take me out that easily.”
Lamb laughs as he grabs an Espacoin fired by Observed Nikoly.
Lamb: “Oh, please. You amuse me too much.”
Lamb sends the Espacoin straight at Charlie, smacking him in the face.
Charlie the Unicorn: “Ow!”
Observed Nikoly charges at Lamb while holding a scythe, but Lamb manages to catch Observed Nikoly, before swinging him around and sending him through the fire on Tree-y’s body and into Charlie, catching both on fire. Charlie quickly succumbs, but Observed Nikoly stays alive.
OBSERVED NIKOLY: “GIVE ME BACK COINS NOW I DID.”
Observed Nikoly employs his final attack - summoning as many scythes, lasers, and Espacoins - living or not - as he can to swarm Lamb. Lamb, somehow, manages to survive this onslaught and hops across all the projectiles to land one final hit on the fish with Touch of Turua, slaying him in the process. Lamb drops to the ground, slightly exhausted.
Lamb: “What a challenger. A shame that he’s been reduced to nothing more than food for the sharks.”
Lamb gets up and dusts himself off.
Lamb: “I can’t deny that the adrenaline of these fights is fueling me, though. Gets me all the more excited for when I can finally fulfill the plan.”
Lamb heads off further…
Meanwhile, in the building, Plankton is working on a machine. Amelia, who has decided to stay inside, notices this.
Amelia: “What… is that?...”
Plankton turns to Amelia and jumps off the scaffolding he’s using.
Plankton: “A machine to kill that idiot Lamb, duh! What else would it be?”
Amelia: “Jeez, okay… you don’t need to be… so aggressive…”
Plankton scoffs, before climbing back up his scaffolding and working.
Amelia: “I never… expected you to be an inventor…”
Plankton: “Well, I am, but I haven’t been able to actually do anything because of that stupid Nacho messing with me all the time! I’ll show her one day…”
Plankton: “But, for now, I’m focusing on taking out Lamb. Nacho’s annoying, but at least she doesn’t want to kill everyone!”
Amelia nods, sitting down on the floor and watching Plankton work.
Plankton: “Ugh, if only Karen was here, this would go so much faster! And… probably be better…”
Amelia: “Who’s Karen?...”
Plankton: “My wife.”
Amelia: “You have a wife?...”
Plankton: “What kinda question is that?!”
Amelia: “Sorry, sorry…”
Plankton cools down.
Plankton: “It’s… It’s fine. I’m just used to dealing with complete idiots . And going against one, too!”
Amelia: “...Do you mean Nacho?...”
Plankton: “She’s not the person I was talking about, but she’s also an idiot. I was talking about my arch-nemesis from where I come from, Eugene Krabs! That crab and his employees always manage to stop me from stealing the Krabby Patty Secret Formula by sheer luck alone!”
Amelia: “Why are you… trying to steal whatever the… ‘Krabby Patty Secret Formula’ is?”
Plankton: “From the name, it should be blatantly obvious that it’s the recipe for a food - and not just any food, the most popular food in all of Bikini Bottom! And I need it to finally get my restaurant the Chum Bucket actually running, because apparently chum isn’t very good.”
Amelia: “...I’m pretty sure chum is made from dead fish parts.”
Plankton blinks.
Plankton: “That… explains a lot.”
Plankton: “But still! I have to get that secret formula!”
Amelia: “...”
Amelia thinks for a moment.
Amelia: “Are there any other restaurants… where you come from?...”
Plankton: “Yeah, duh.”
Amelia: “And do people go to them?...”
Plankton: “If they didn’t, they wouldn’t be running, would they?”
Amelia: “...and do they have these… ‘Krabby Patties’?”
Plankton: “No, it’s a secret formula for a reason .”
Amelia: “Then why bother getting the formula in the first place?...”
Plankton: “Wha- I can’t just do that! How would I get customers without it?!”
Amelia: “You said there’s restaurants that are running without having Krabby Patties… so it’s not necessary to sell them to get customers… you could just do that…”
Plankton considers this…
Plankton: “I… guess you’re right. But I’ve spent so long trying to get it, that it just feels wrong to completely stop!”
Amelia: “But you could focus… more on your restaurant, and your wife… if you stop…”
Plankton sighs.
Plankton: “When you say that, I guess it does make more sense… I feel bad for Karen, really, I probably haven’t been that good of a husband by spending all my time trying to steal the secret formula… And I haven’t seen my son in a while, either! Who knows how he feels about that?”
Plankton: “So… I guess I’ll stop, once I can actually get back home. It’s probably better for everyone. Th- tha- ugh, can’t say it, but you know what I’m trying to say.”
Amelia silently nods in response, as Plankton returns to working on his invention. Cut to Blue, who is gearing himself up outside the building. Test Tube walks by, holding some materials.
Test Tube: “Are you sure about this, Blue? What if it goes wrong? I’m not normally one to worry about this, but this is really dire…”
Blue nods, putting a netherite helmet on his head. He then holds out some armor to Test Tube.
Test Tube: “You sure?”
Blue gives a thumbs up.
Test Tube: “Well, alright then, couldn’t hurt!”
Test Tube equips the armor given by Blue as Blue himself pulls out a selection of potions and drinks them all. Test Tube then puts the finishing touches on some sort of invention that looks like a laser gun and picks it up.
Test Tube: “Alright, it’s done! We should be ready to go!”
Blue nods, before picking up Test Tube and running insanely fast towards Lamb. Lamb is fending off Kris when Blue rushes in, slamming into Lamb and knocking him down. Blue drinks a small portion of milk to clear the speed.
Lamb: “A three versus one? Under different circumstances I might’ve called it unfair for me, but this is less than that for you all.”
Lamb charges at Blue with his sword, but Blue dodges and knocks away Lamb’s sword. Lamb just pulls out another one and slashes at Blue. Blue reflects the attack and shoves Lamb away, then pulls out his bow to fire weakness-tipped arrows. Lamb slashes away the arrows and sends one flying at Blue, hitting and weakening him. Kris then tries to get a hit in but is promptly stabbed in the gut by Lamb. Test Tube, meanwhile, is charging up her laser gun.
Test Tube: “Come on, hurry up!”
Lamb and Blue trade blows back and forth, but Blue eventually gains the upper hand and pins Lamb to the ground. Test Tube’s laser gun charges completely and fires, but Lamb raises his sword in time, reflecting the laser and hitting Blue with it instead, sending him flying into a wall. Test Tube is left agape while Lamb gets back up.
Lamb: “Nice try, failure.”
Lamb runs towards Blue and finishes him off, as Test Tube blinks, surprised by what she just did… She sits down on the floor. Lamb doesn’t even bother to kill her, he just leaves.
As Lamb continues onwards, he sees RCoKJ - excluding Ploque, interestingly - blocks his way.
Lamb: “Well, well, well, looks like we’re meeting again, old friends.”
Spider-Ham: “Hey, I’m supposed to be the one saying that kinda stuff!”
Rocket: “Also, we should probably just attack now!”
Rocket starts firing rockets at Lamb, who dodges them all. Spider-Ham shoots a web to pin Lamb to the floor, but Lamb slices through it effortlessly. Carl and Donkey both charge as King Julien holds a stick, but Lamb avoids Carl and uppercuts Donkey, sending him away.
Lamb: “It’s a pity I’ll have to kill you, Julien, considering I worked as your adversary for a time. But all things have to come to an end, don’t they?”
King Julien: “Try me, Lamb, I’ll kick you faster than a foosa attacking its prey!”
King Julien whacks Lamb with his stick, but Lamb simply snatches it from him and throws it away. However, Lamb’s attention is diverted as another rocket flies at him, which he avoids with perfect precision, then knocks another one back at Rocket, hitting him in the gut.
Rocket: “Ow!”
Spider-Ham: “Oh, dang, Rocket, are you okay?”
Rocket: “A little hurt, but I should be fine-”
Lamb takes the sudden vulnerability to launch a surprise attack, shooting Point of Corruption at Rocket and Spider-Ham to send them flying off into the distance, and generating a puddle of black ichor where they once stood.
Carl: “Well, that’s too bad that they’re gone. Now I have almost nobody to share food with!”
King Julien: “Carl, do you plan on eating Lamb?”
Carl: “Come on, it’s mutton! It tastes fine enough!”
Lamb slices at Carl, but Carl headbutts Lamb and shoves him into the ichor puddle. Lamb trudges out of the puddle, being slightly hurt from the ichor, but he still manages to be able to use Death’s Squall to freeze Carl. King Julien slinks away, knowing that he can’t do anything now.
Lamb: “What a shame. There goes my old allies. Oh well, who needs those anyways? Especially with the near-infinite power that gem will grant me…”
Lamb continues onwards. Cut to a few of the survivors - Pizza Steve, Red, Stanley, Sundew, and Torch God, to be exact.
…I’m here too, y’know. Don’t have to be so disrespectful as to just blatantly ignore me!
…And Narrator, I guess.
Thank you.
Okay that aside, the six are huddled behind a building, whispering so as to not garner Lamb’s attention.
Pizza Steve: “This feels like a horror movie…”
Stanley nods in agreement. Torch God writes ‘IT AIN'T ANY BETTER’
‘WITH THESE GUYS’, then forms an arrow pointing at Red and Sundew.
Red: “Hey, that’s not nice…”
Sundew: “I don’t think they were trying to be nice.”
Pizza Steve: “What’s your beef with them about, Torch God?”
Sundew: “I’ll explain, our teams are basically rivals, therefore Torch God just doesn’t like any of us. Even if we aren’t the main contributors to that rivalry in any way.”
Well, to be frank, that sounds a little stupid- Stanley.
Pizza Steve: “Seems a bit irrational, bro…”
Torch God forms a >:| face. After a period of silence, Wheatley rolls in at a high speed, seemingly being thrown by Lamb.
Wheatley: “Oh, hi buds!”
Pizza Steve: “Wheatley, what are you doing?!”
Wheatley: “Oh, just about to blow up, I assume-”
Wheatley does in fact blow up, leaving behind a lot of smoke that makes the survivors cough - except Torch God, who relishes in the smoke, and Narrator, for… obvious reasons. Both the sounds of coughing and Wheatley greeting the survivors causes Lamb to realize that they’re there, and so he lands.
Red: “Gah!”
Red hides behind Sundew.
Red: “Please don’t kill me please don’t I have so much to do in life I don’t wanna die”
Lamb: “Tsk, as if I’d kill someone as weak as you. Not like you pose any threat to me, anyway.”
Lamb grins evilly, holding his sword up.
Lamb: “Or do you?”
Red: “NO I DON’T I COMPLETELY SURRENDER”
Sundew groans.
Sundew: “Look, sure, I’ll surrender too, if it keeps me alive.”
Torch God imitates a gulp and forms a thumbs up as Stanley nods while also sliding behind Sundew. Pizza Steve, however, doesn’t follow their footsteps.
Pizza Steve: “We can’t just surrender, bros! What about our friends? Who knows what Lamb’s done to them!? We have t-”
Lamb shoots a Flaming Shot at Pizza Steve, catching him on fire. He screams and then runs into Torch God, disintegrating into ash. Torch God absorbs the ash, before writing ‘THAT WAS REALLY WEIRD’
‘BUT ALSO TASTED GOOD’
‘BUT ALSO VERY IMMORAL’
‘HELP’
This ‘Lamb’ fellow really is a maniac, wow. I’m just glad he can’t do anything to me, but Stanley, you’re gonna want to keep behind Sundew.
Lamb: “Well, with that over, I’ll be off. You lot are lucky you get to keep your lives for the time being.”
Lamb leaves.
Red: “...Wait, just for the time being?”
Cut to Plankton and Amelia. Plankton has just finished his invention.
Plankton: “There we go! Now it’s time to kick that sheep’s butt!”
Amelia: “...Have fun with that, I guess?... I’m just going to stay here…”
Nacho walks by the room, causing Plankton to turn to her. She looks back.
Nacho: “Hi.”
Plankton: “What do you want?!”
Nacho: “I was just walking by, as one normally does.”
Plankton: “You’re always screwing with me so I don’t trust your word!”
Nacho: “Okay, you got me.”
Nacho pulls out a fake bomb.
Nacho: “Think fast.”
Nacho throws the bomb, but Amelia instinctively slaps it back into Nacho’s face, shattering her into crumbs.
Plankton: “...Well then.”
Amelia: “Did I- Did I just do that-”
Plankton: “You did, and I thank you, because you got rid of that pest! Now I can head out in peace.”
Plankton turns on his machine, but it begins sputtering smoke.
Plankton: “Oh, you HAVE TO BE KIDDING ME!”
Plankton punches the machine, making it explode in his face. Amelia stares wide-eyed. Plankton coughs as the smoke clears.
Plankton: “Oh barnacles-”
Plankton coughs violently.
Plankton: “I screwed that up big time.”
Amelia: “...That’s not good…”
Plankton: “Yeah, I can tell .”
Cut to N. Despite Lamb hitting him pretty hard, he’s still alive, just weakened. He tries to get up, but he can’t… but, someone pulls him up.
N: “Woo! Thanks- Wait, Ploque?!”
Yep, it was Ploque! Who’s currently using the remains of Blocky’s minigun for support, since she still can’t walk well on her own.
Ploque: “Why are you so surprised?”
N: “I thought you were gonna be chasing Lamb down or something, since you were the one that made the announcement in the first place, don’t blame me!”
Ploque: “I figured I’d be better off trying to help anyone that’s still alive after…”
Ploque motions to some bodies in the distance.
Ploque: “That. But, you ended up being the only person I’ve found that’s not dead.”
N: “Wow, a buncha people died already?”
Ploque: “It’s Lamb, it’s not out of the question…”
Awkward silence filled the air.
N: “So… what now, Ploquester?”
Ploque half-shrugged, using only one arm since she can’t use her other one at the moment.
N: “Aw, biscuits.”
More silence ensued, before the sound of a helicopter starts to be heard.
Ploque: “What the hell is that sound?”
N: “Oh, it has to be-”
The helicopter crashes next to N and Ploque, scaring Ploque.
Ploque: “GAH!”
N: “...Charles.”
Charles jumps out of the helicopter’s remains.
Charles: “Hey, N!”
N and Charles high-five.
Charles: “And hi, Ploque, I don’t think we’ve ever actually met before!”
Charles holds out a hand to Ploque, which she awkwardly shakes.
Ploque: “Uh… hi. How did you survive that helicopter crash???”
Charles: “Don’t ask me.”
And the helicopter suddenly becomes fixed.
Charles: “...Don’t ask about that either.”
Ploque: “I’m not sure I want to.”
N: “So, what’re you doing here, Charles? Shouldn’t you be going like - bang bang, boom! - to Lamb?”
Charles: “The best I can do is crash my helicopter into him, and I doubt that’s gonna do anything, so…”
Charles: “I figured I’d be better off a s transportation! And, you guys were the first people I found that weren’t already killed, so I stopped here!”
Ploque: “I’m not sure if picking us was the best because…”
Ploque points at herself and N, both fairly injured. N pats Ploque’s shoulder.
N: “Hey, come on, Ploquester, it’ll be fine!”
Ploque: “...Fine. But if this kills us I’m blaming you.”
N: “Pff, okay, sure!”
Charles: “Cool, let’s go now before it’s too late!”
Charles, N, and Ploque enter Charles’s helicopter, and Charles flies it over to Lamb. Lamb seems to either not notice the helicopter, or doesn’t particularly care about it.
Charles: “I don’t wanna get too close to the ground because Lamb would probably shoot us down, so you guys are gonna have to jump!”
Ploque: “Oh come on.”
N: “Don’t worry, I have a plan, Ploque!”
N grabs Ploque and jumps out of the helicopter, as Ploque starts screaming. However, N unfurls his wings and glides downwards, which calms down Ploque somewhat. N then lands in front of Lamb.
Lamb: “Back for a round two, I see? You won’t survive this time, I assure you.”
Lamb then notices Ploque.
Lamb: “Ah, and I see you brought her with you. Just enhancing the experience, aren’t you?-”
A saw flew straight by Lamb’s face, ending his monologuing early.
Ploque: “I don’t have time for your shit.”
Ploque starts throwing saws as N runs around Lamb to keep the two out of his range. Lamb shoots Flaming Shot after Flaming Shot, but they keep missing, as Lamb is almost hit on multiple occasions.
Lamb: “Two can play at that game.”
Lamb leaps upwards and uses Path of the Righteous to strike N out of the sky, then crashes to the ground and runs towards him. Ploque uses a saw to counter, but Lamb knocks it out of her hand before kicking her to the ground. However, N runs into his side and turns his own hands into chainsaws. Lamb blocks every hit N tries to make, but N eventually tears through Lamb’s sword and breaks it. Lamb pulls out another sword just as N makes a move. N manages to connect the hit and rips through a bit of Lamb’s skin, but Lamb immediately retaliates by using Death’s Sweep to knock him away. A saw whizzes by Lamb’s head, and Lamb turns to Ploque, who’s gotten back up. Lamb charges, avoiding more saws thrown at him, then stabs Ploque with a strategically-placed hit straight in the heart.
Lamb: “Oh, how entrancing it will be to see the life sucked out of you. Isn’t it funny? Once you were the one I least expected to dare go against me, but now I take your life.”
Lamb grins as he releases his sword from Ploque’s body, leaving her on the ground crumpled and bleeding out. Lamb chuckles to himself, but is immediately struck at his side, sending him skidding away. He recomposes himself and turns to see N, wings wide open and a large X on his visor.
Lamb: “It’s on, drone boy.”
Lamb and N charge at each other, but N flies upwards at the last second, then turns his hand into a missile launcher and shoots missiles at Lamb. Lamb avoids the missiles and leaps upward, but N dashes out of the way. Lamb shoots Hounds of Fate, but N uses sword hands to slice them into bits. N then charges, but Lamb uses Touch of Turua to send him up into the air, then jumps upward and uses Divine Blast to shoot him into the earth. However, N gets back up, turns one hand into a laser cannon, and starts charging it up, though the process is slow as he’s been severely damaged at this point. Lamb smirks before rushing and preparing to thrust his sword into N’s core, but at the VERY last second the cannon activates, blasting Lamb away and scorching his wool. N staggers over to Lamb, who slowly gets up to look at N.
Lamb: “Oh, please… You couldn’t… kill me.”
Lamb tries to laugh, but ends up coughing instead. N says nothing, instead turning his hands back into chainsaws. He then rushes and brings them down on Lamb, but Lamb uses his sword to block it.
Lamb: “Gh… I’m… Not going down to… A lowly being like you…”
N: “I’m not just a ‘lowly being’!”
N tears through the sword, decimating it, and cutting Lamb’s sides.
N: “You can’t just be acting all high and mighty when you’re literally killing everyone! And for what? Something you can get fair and square, without all this?!”
Yeah N’s PISSED.
Lamb: “I’m not going to- act like I’m a good person- but just let me go, and I won’t do anything to you- I’ll let you have as much power in my cult as you want- how about that? Wouldn’t that be nice?-”
N turns his hand into a sword and looks down at Lamb.
N: “I’m really sorry, but it’s really too late for that, Lamb…”
N then shoves the sword straight through Lamb’s heart. Lamb’s eyes turn a dark red as he screams, before all life disappears from his body. His crown floats up, then shatters. N pulls the sword out, holding his hand up to his head as his face turns back to normal.
N: “...”
N: “That was so brutal… Had to be done, but…”
N winces. He then has a realization, and turns around to run to Ploque.
N: “Oh, biscuits, I completely forgot- Ploque are you okay?!”
Ploque is barely holding on.
Ploque: “Not… really…”
N notices just how bad Ploque’s doing.
N: “Oh geez what are we going to do?! I don’t know how to fix that up or anything and almost everyone’s dead!-”
Charles lands his helicopter next to N and Ploque.
Charles: “Charles to the rescue! Load her in here, N, there’s bound to be someone still at the building!”
N nods and picks up Ploque before entering the helicopter. Charles then flies off to the building.
Cut to Plankton and Amelia. Plankton is trying to design a new invention after having another failure.
Plankton: “None of this is working! What am I doing wrong?!”
Amelia thinks for a moment.
Amelia: “Maybe… instead of trying to stop Lamb… you could try to fix… the host…”
Plankton blinks.
Plankton: “I… don’t know how I didn’t think of that, actually. Let’s go, then!”
Plankton gathers his tools and manages to drag Amelia up to the elimination room. Plankton then unloads the materials next to Koe and begins working. Amelia sits in one of the chairs in the room while watching. She catches a glimpse of Charles’s helicopter through the window.
Amelia: “...Is that?...”
Plankton: “What are you talking about?”
Plankton looks outside and sees the helicopter.
Plankton: “Oh, wow, so I guess not everyone’s dead?”
Amelia: “...Or it could be Lamb…”
Plankton: “Yeah, good point.”
Plankton fixes up Koe’s internal workings and screws his back panel back on, then turns him on. Koe successfully reboots.
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “Woo, it feels great to be back! …What’d I miss? And where’s everyone? Including Lamb, I’m going to-”
Plankton: “Lamb is currently trying to find the gem and subsequently kill everyone !”
Amelia: “...Yeah, and Ploque made it… the challenge…”
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “...I see. Are they… still doing it?”
Plankton: “We’ve been cooped up in here the whole time, how are we supposed to know?!”
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “Dang, alright, jeez!”
The sound of helicopter blades spinning can be heard as the helicopter enters Charles’s room a few rooms away.
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “Is that a helicopter?”
Plankton: “I sure wonder .”
Amelia: “Plankton, no need to be so rude…”
After a short bit, Charles barges in.
Charles: “Anyone in-”
Charles then notices Koe.
Charles: “Wait you’re back?!”
N peers in, holding Ploque in his hands.
N: “Yay! Now everyone isn’t dead forever!”
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “Okay I think I’m having a bit of an information overload- So, is Lamb still out there?”
N: “I… uh… killed him. It was gorey. Eugh. If I wasn’t a robot, I’d be throwing up right now.”
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “...”
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “Didn’t need the details but alright then…”
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “Well, considering what he pulled, I don’t think I’ll be bringing him back anytime soon, not even to put him in the THoE.”
Plankton: “Good riddance!”
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “So who’s alive?”
Charles shrugs.
Charles: “If there is anyone alive, I don’t know who.”
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “Well, I guess I can just teleport everyone alive to see who’s left.”
N: “Hey, wait, before you do that, I kinda need some help here!”
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “With wha-”
Charles moves out of the way as N enters while still holding Ploque. She is REALLY not doing well. Plankton gags as Amelia looks away.
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “Ooooooh, that’s not good. I’m not good at that stuff I’ll just…”
Koe quickly does some cool magic stuff so Ploque. Won’t die. And that she can at least stand up.
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “I can’t do any more than that, so she’s gonna need some help with walking. Is she… conscious right now?”
N taps Ploque’s shoulder.
N: “Wakey wakey, Ploquester!”
No response.
N: “Aw…”
Plankton: “I got it!”
Plankton leaps up to Ploque, and yells in her ear.
Plankton: “WAKE UP!”
Ploque: “GAH!”
Ploque gets frightened so badly she falls into the seat. Plankton drops onto the floor.
Charles: “Plankton!”
Plankton: “Look, it got the job done, don’t act so pissy about it!”
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “Well, I guess that issue’s solved…”
Koe snaps and teleports all the survivors to the outside of the building. Alongside the five just mentioned, there’s also a few other survivors - King Julien, the Knight, Red, Stanley (and also Narrator), Sundew, Test Tube, and Torch God.
Test Tube: “Wh- wait, wha-”
King Julien: “How’d I get here?”
The Knight rolls their eyes and points to Koe.
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “Hi guys I’m back! Wow, there’s not many of you still left…”
Sundew: “What do you expect when you have a homicidal, psychopathic maniac running around? Well, had , I assume, if you’re back.”
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “Yeah, he’s gone forever. Don’t expect to see him ever again. He was eliminated anyway.”
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “Now I gotta…”
Koe claps, and everyone dead is revived.
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “There!”
A LOT of clamoring starts up immediately as people see that they’re alive, Koe is back, and Lamb is nowhere to be seen.
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “Everyone, calm down, if you’re wondering about Lamb’s whereabouts, I can assure you that he’s gone and won’t be seen again!”
Relief passes through the crowd’s faces.
Donkey: “Waitwaitwait, who won the contest, then?”
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “Cool Friends did.”
Pizza Steve: “Sick!”
Wheatley: “Hooray!”
CF celebrates, including N, who runs over to them. The other contestants disperse into their separate teams, except for Ploque, who is approached by Koe.
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “So, uh, are you… still planning on quitting?”
Ploque thinks, then breathes in before making her decision…
Ploque: “Only if I can change teams.”
Ploque: “If anything, it was… mainly what team I got forced onto that influenced my dislike… if I had a team I actually wanted to be on… then perhaps I’d consider staying.”
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “I… guess I can arrange that. You can go on Cool Friends, since they won.”
Ploque nods in approval, and Koe slides over to CF, while also bringing Ploque over.
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “Alright, so not only do you guys get to choose which team goes up for elimination - besides NNIT, they’re still immune - but you also get Ploque joining your team as a bonus prize!”
N: “Hey, Ploquester!”
N waves, and Ploque waves back.
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “Aaaaand before you guys choose who’s UFE-”
Koe slides to Amelia and drags Plankton over.
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “Since you two helped fix me-”
Amelia: “I didn’t do anything…”
Plankton: “Shouldn’t be complaining about that!”
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “SH. Anyways, as I was saying, you two get a special prize!”
In Koe’s hand appears two green tokens.
Plankton: “Now what the barnacles are those?!”
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “Win Tokens! Definitely didn’t steal them from BFDI. Use them before the elimination to subtract half your votes!”
Koe tosses one Win Token each to the two, then places Plankton back with NNIT. Next, Koe moves himself over to Science Bear and Plasma Ball.
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “You guys… good?”
Both blink idly… it’s notable that they don’t have red eyes anymore…
Science Bear: “Yes, indeed I am. I’m not sure what happened, but for a time being I felt… weird. Glad to be back, however.”
Plasma Ball: “It was that asshole Lamb, I just know it! But, uh, happy to be back too?... I guess?”
Plasma Ball shrugs.
Plasma Ball: “Give or take.”
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “Good to see!”
Koe hops back to CF.
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “Now, Cool Friends, discuss who you’d like to go up for elimination!”
Wheatley: “First things first, we can’t go for IDIOT, because we’re in an alliance with them, and that’d be rude!”
Pizza Steve: “Yeah, I agree with my bro here!”
Kris writes ‘what about you ploque? do you want us to pick your old team maybe’.
Ploque: “No, no, don’t choose them… Yeah, I may not have liked being on the team, but… they’re not inherently bad…”
Kris nods.
Flowey: “Okay, so you guys basically destroyed all the choices but BFDI again. Boring as fuck!”
Why must Flowey be such a headache?... …Stanley, why do you have to be like this.
Amelia: “Well… Flowey, I don’t think… we have much of a choice…”
Flowey groans.
Flowey: “FINE. But I’m not happy about it!”
Blocky: “Hey, what the hell, I literally saved your ass N!”
N: “Sorry! It’s just process of elimination!”
Nikoly: “Ba dum tss.”
Squid: “It’s not funny, Nikoly, we’re the ones going up for elimination.”
Nikoly: “:(“
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “So Blocky’s Funny Doings International will lose a member for the third time! What bad luck!”
Squid: “I didn’t even realize that, fucking hell.”
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “Viewers, vote in the poll down below for who you want to leave the show, and spin the wheel! See y’all sometime in the near future!”
VOTING LINK: [ENDED]
Pizza Steve walks into a gaming room, where Flowey and Kris are playing Super Smash Bros.
Pizza Steve: “Have either of you seen N or Ploque? They were supposed to come to the board game session me and Wheatley were holding, but…”
Flowey: “It’s 10 PM, maybe they just went to sleep early, you idiot!”
Kris rolls their eyes as they take Flowey’s last stock in Smash Bros. Flowey rages as Kris gets up and writes on a sheet of paper ‘try looking down the hall, i think they went that way’.
Pizza Steve: “Thanks, dude!”
Kris gives a thumbs up and hops back to the game to play against Flowey again. Pizza Steve exits the room.
Wheatley: “So what’s the verdict?”
Pizza Steve: “Kris said they might be down the hall.”
Wheatley: “Well, that’s the best lead we have! Let’s go check.”
Pizza Steve and Wheatley walk to the door at the end of the hall they’re in, which just so happens to be the room from the start of the episode…
Wheatley: “Uh, could you, open the door? I can’t reach it, being a personality core without hands and all!”
Pizza Steve gives a thumbs up and opens the door, to reveal N and Ploque both sleeping on the couch within.
Wheatley: “Aw, that’s pretty cute.”
Pizza Steve: “Yeah… good for them. Good for them.”
Pizza Steve closes the door to leave the two alone.
Pizza Steve: “So, uh, guess we’re playing a 1v1?”
Wheatley: “Better than nothing!”

Chapter Text
The episode starts with Blue just finishing cooking breakfast in a custom-made kitchen installed into his own room… and said room is suspiciously larger than normal. Blue then places all six meals - a relatively simple breakfast of scrambled eggs, toast, and a cup of orange juice, nothing too fancy - onto plates, and brings them outside to the hallway, where his fellow teammates - minus Test Tube, oddly - were sitting.
Science Bear: “Ah, splendid, just in time.”
Charlie the Unicorn: “Yeah, especially because a certain someone was complaining about the lack of breakfast.”
Charles: “Hey, it wasn’t complaining! I was just a little… worried about how long it was taking.”
Enderman rolls their eyes from inside the pumpkin they’re wearing. Blue chuckles silently, before handing out four of the six breakfasts to his fellow IDIOT members with peak precision. He then turns to hand one to Test Tube, but realizes she wasn’t there… He scratches his head confusedly, before turning to his teammates and asking about where she is.
Science Bear: “Unfortunately, I don’t know of her current whereabouts.”
Charlie the Unicorn: “I don’t keep tabs on anyone else, so don’t ask me.”
Enderman shrugs. Charles is the only one with an actual answer…
Charles: “Maybe she’s in her room? She could’ve slept in or something!”
Science Bear nodded in agreement with Charles.
Science Bear: “That does make the most sense. I would presume she would never intentionally miss breakfast, considering… the person making it.”
Science Bear injects the perfect amount of insinuation into his words to cause Charles and Enderman to erupt into laughter. Blue jokingly shouts nonverbally, to which Science Bear stifles a laugh of his own to keep up his persona. Charlie rolls his eyes, before giving his own two cents.
Charlie the Unicorn: “Who knows, maybe she’d enjoy breakfast in bed. I hear it’s pretty good, not like I could have that, though.”
Charles: “What, is it like, you don’t have a bed back home or something?”
Charlie the Unicorn: “That, and the fact that I can’t fit in one to begin with.”
The four other IDIOT members start a conversation as Blue walks down the hall to Test Tube’s room. He silently opens the door, and peers in to see Test Tube sitting on the ground defeatedly. Concerned, Blue enters the room without a word and kneels down to Test Tube, who just notices Blue and freaks out.
Test Tube: “GAH- Oh, geez, it’s just you…”
Test Tube awkwardly chuckles. Blue shrugs it off, putting the two plates of food onto the side for the moment. He then immediately asks Test Tube if anything’s wrong, souring her expression.
Test Tube: “It’s… It’s nothing, trust me! Completely fine!”
Test Tube grins suspiciously. Blue idles for a moment, then places a hand on her shoulder, and asks for the honest truth. Test Tube breaks her facade.
Test Tube: “Alright, alright, it’s because… Well, I totally screwed up last time! I got you killed, and- and I thought you were gone for good, and… I let it get to my head. The thought of permanently losing someone that I care about, especially during that whole situation, it… it hurt a lot… So I… I wanted to distance myself. I don’t want to screw things up again.”
Test Tube sighs sadly. Blue pats Test Tube on the back and tries to reassure her that it was an accident and not her fault, but Test Tube turns away. Blue metaphorically frowns. He figures it’s best to give her some space, and leaves, keeping one plate of food in the room for her. As he exits back out to the hallway, he sees that Charles, Charlie, and Enderman have all left, leaving just Science Bear.
Science Bear: “Hello again, Blue. You spent a fair bit of time away… The other three got bored and went to their own activities.”
Blue nods in understanding, sitting down in the hallway silently and not bothering to eat his food. Science Bear immediately picks up on the subtle cues Blue is giving.
Science Bear: “Did something bad happen?”
Blue explains in short terms, not wanting to blurt out the whole story in respect of Test Tube’s privacy.
Science Bear: “...I see.”
Science Bear hums for a moment, thinking.
Science Bear: “Well, I’m glad you gave her space, at least. I’m sure that’s what she needs most right now. Perhaps it’s best to wait a few days, but I wouldn’t recommend completely keeping your focus away… I wouldn’t want her to hurt herself in her current mood, and I’m sure you wouldn’t want to do that either.”
Blue gives a weak thumbs up.
Science Bear: “...I understand it may be hard to deal with what you have to deal with. I can’t say I have any experience, and I only say these things from what I’ve seen. But trust me, Blue. You’ll be able to make things work in the end if you try.”
Science Bear went silent for a moment before continuing.
Science Bear: “...It’d also be best for you to eat as well. You shouldn’t let this ruin your health, as bad as it is.”
Blue nods, beginning to eat his food. Science Bear sits down with Blue to keep him company…
Cut to RCoKJ holding a meeting in the cafeteria, as per usual. It’s much emptier than normal, now that the team’s been knocked down to five members.
Donkey: “Wow, it’s pretty dang empty now!”
Spider-Ham: “Bound to happen when we lose two people. How’d that even manage to happen?”
Carl: “Freak accident. I had one of those once. Gave me a chance to get some food, at least.”
Rocket scoots away from Carl, immediately knowing what he was talking about. He then turns his attention to the leader of the team, King Julien.
Rocket: “What are we gonna do now since we’ve got basically nobody?!”
King Julien: “Admittedly, I do not know! This is a very bad time, especially because both our main recruiter and second-in-command have left our team.”
Spider-Ham: “We still gotta have some people in the kingdom, though, right?”’
Donkey scratches his chin with his hoof, somehow.
Donkey: “Wouldn’t hurt to check!”
Cut to a montage of Donkey asking people.
Charles: “I really only joined because of Warrior, and he got coerced in there by Lamb of all people, so…”
Nikoly: “Hell nah! You guys are cool and all, yeah, but… y’know… it was the sicko that got me in and all that, and I might be a little crazy sometimes, but I draw the line there! I’m not associating with whatever that guy does, so I’m out.”
Science Bear shakes his head no, still sitting with Blue.
Plasma Ball: “What the hell do you think?! ‘Oh, yes, I will stay with the group whose recruiter mind controlled me for multiple challenges because he couldn’t take a no for an answer’- WHO WOULD SAY THAT?!”
Cut back to Donkey at the meeting, frowning.
Spider-Ham: “...Didn’t go well, did it?”
Donkey: “Not at all.”
Rocket: “Well, what now?”
King Julien holds his hand up to his temple.
King Julien: “I truly wish I could answer, but right now I’m completely out of ideas!”
Carl: “How about we-”
Rocket: “Uh, no offense, but I don’t think what you’re going to say is gonna be that good of an idea?...”
Carl: “You, clearly, just don’t appreciate true art.”
Donkey: “So we’re basically screwed?!”
King Julien: “I hate to say it, but I believe so!”
Silence, for a moment.
Spider-Ham: “Waitwaitwait, Donkey, did you think of asking Ploque? She might still be interested!”
Donkey: “Oooh, yeah, I can go ahead and-”
Rocket intervened.
Rocket: “I… don’t think she’ll want to.”
Donkey: “Come on, why not?”
Rocket: “Did you guys notice how she specifically asked to leave our team? I don’t think it was just because of the royal circle…”
Rocket scratches the back of his head, hoping his point came across.
Spider-Ham: “Hmm, yeah, I can see your point.”
Carl: “She did make a big fuss over it.”
Donkey: “I feel like a fuss, is a bit of an understatement!”
King Julien: “I don’t want to say it, but I think Rocket has a point that she won’t be willing to join us. What a shame, truly!”
King Julien hums, thinking.
King Julien: “Well, I think we should hold off on this topic until after the challenge. It’d be best to wait until we’re not in danger to discuss our team’s future! We wouldn’t want to lose a member after making our plans.”
The others nod in agreement, with varying levels of enthusiasm.
King Julien: “Great! Meeting dismissed!”
The five RCoKJ members head out of the cafeteria to go to their rooms, however as the other three leave, Spider-Ham stops Rocket in his tracks momentarily.
Spider-Ham: “You seem more beat-up about this than even King Julien, and I can tell something’s up. Mind telling? Or is it a whole personal shebang?”
Rocket: “It’s just that I kinda miss Ploque being on our team, y’know? She and I kinda clicked together as friends! But, now that she’s off on her own separate team, I have the feeling that relationship’s been severed, possibly for good, and… it’s a little sad. Not to say it’s all bad, I’m glad she’s on a team she likes, but I can’t help but feel conflicted!”
Rocket frowns. Spider-Ham pats his back in response.
Spider-Ham: “Hey, cheer up, nothing’s stopping you from hanging out with her outside of challenges! How about we go check up on her after today’s contest, y’know, make sure everything’s fine?”
Rocket gives a small smile and nods in response, and the two resume walking to their rooms. Cut to NNIT, where Artificer is dragging Nacho away from Plankton.
Artificer: “You seriously need to stop.”
Nacho: “I don’t see why…”
Artificer holds Nacho up to her face.
Artificer: “You’re being a complete asshole by constantly screwing with our team’s goals out of- I don’t even know if it’s hatred, or just a sick sense of humor, but do I need to explain further?”
Nacho hums in thought.
Nacho: “Maybe one more time.”
Nacho shrugs knowingly. Artificer groans and stomps to Nacho’s room, placing Nacho inside.
Artificer: “You’re a complete danger to our team, and I’m not letting you screw anything up, so until it’s challenge time you’re staying in here.”
Nacho: “Good luck.”
Immediately, the Knight appears outside the window, sitting at it to watch Nacho.
Nacho: “...Damn.”
Artificer then shuts the door, leaving Nacho alone. She walks away and sits on a bench right outside the hallway. Plankton walks by, covered in soot.
Plankton: “Please tell me that pest is dealt with!”
Artificer: “I had the Knight make sure she stays in her room.”
Plankton: “Finally! Now I can actually work for once!”
Plasma Ball peers in from her room.
Plasma Ball: “And what the hell would that be?”
Plankton: “Oh, you’ll see! Just wait until the challenge is announced.”
Artificer: “...How would you know the challenge?”
Plankton: “I sneaked up on Blocky’s team, and they have this magic book or something that tells them what the challenge is! So I used that to formulate my own plans, like a true genius.”
Artificer: “...That’s cheating.”
Plasma Ball: “Yeah, you could’ve used that opportunity to, I dunno, get them disqualified or something?”
Plankton: “The host pretty much knows everything! If it was cheating, I think they would’ve already been disqualified! Now, I’m off to work. Don’t pester me! I need peace and quiet!”
Plankton wipes the soot off him and continues onwards. Torch God walks in soon after, making a question mark.
Plasma Ball: “Plankton found out that the stupid team - Blocky’s doings or something - is cheating! And, instead of saying anything about it and getting them disqualified, which would make things way easier… He decided to use it to his own advantage!”
Torch God writes ‘I MEAN’
‘IT SOUNDS LIKE HE HAD
‘A POINT THERE’
‘BFDI WOULD’VE GOT’
‘IN TROUBLE BY NOW’
‘I TRY TO BE MORALLY RIGHT’
‘BUT I THINK THIS TIME’
‘IT’S IN BFDI’S FAVOR’
Artificer: “...You’re right. I hate it, but you’re right.”
Artificer gets up.
Artificer: “I’m heading out. See you later.”
Artificer walks away, Torch God moving out of the way to let her pass. Torch God then slinks over to Plasma Ball and writes ‘SO HOW’S IT LIKE’
‘NOT BEING POSSESSED’
‘OR WHATEVER’
Plasma Ball: “Infinitely better than before, duh!”
Torch God winces, and then writes ‘LOOK I’M TRYING’
‘TO BE NICE’
‘COULD YOU AT LEAST’
‘CALM DOWN A LIL’
Plasma Ball looks off to the side.
Plasma Ball: “...Yeah, that was a bit much. I’m still pissed off, and that’s probably been… affecting my mood.”
Torch God makes a thumbs up to show they understand, and then silence ensues.
Plasma Ball: “...I’m going to go get breakfast.”
Torch God writes ‘I’LL GO TOO’. The two leave the hallway towards the cafeteria. Cut to CF, where most of the members are playing a board game as per usual.
Wheatley: “Okay, this time I’ll roll a 6!”
Wheatley rolls into a die, making it fall over and land on a one.
Flowey: “ Wow. Let’s clap for this guy, the greatest player of all!”
Wheatley: “Hey, come on, lad, no need to be rude! It’s quite disrespectful, you know.”
Flowey: “As if that wasn’t the point, you dumbass!-”
Pizza Steve: “C’mon, dudes, let’s just focus on the game!”
Flowey grumbles as Wheatley pushes his playing piece a bit, landing on a red square with a -3 on it.
Wheatley: “Well, darn!”
Wheatley pushes his piece backwards. Flowey begins to laugh, but is immediately shushed by Kris.
I don’t understand why Flowey acts like this all the time. Couldn’t he be doing something other than being a bother? I mean, all it’s going to do in the end is set him up for fai-
Pizza Steve: “Alright, Stanley, you’re next.”
…Well then. Stanley rolls his die, and it lands on a 6-
It lands on a 3.
Oh, piss off. Well, Stanley, I guess you did roll a 3. So, Stanley moved his piece forward 3 spots, and landed on a green spot-
It was a completely normal spot.
…You really have to make things hard for me, don’t you?
That’s my job, basically.
Sometimes I wish I was corporeal just to spite you… other… narrator.
…the opposite thing would happen
Oh, come on, really?!
I’m going to ignore him and instead continue… As Pizza Steve rolls next, Kris notices something’s off. They pull out a piece of paper and write ‘has anyone noticed that almost half our team is gone?’.
Flowey: “Oh, they’re probably off doing their own stupid things!”
Wheatley: “I agree with Flowey- excluding the stupid part, of course! I wouldn’t want to call their hobbies and stuff stupid, that’d be quite the rude gesture to our friends.”
I… must be honest, I didn’t even pay attention to the lack of their presence.
Pizza Steve: “Well, I think I know why our bros N and Ploque are gone-”
Flowey: “What is that supposed to mean?!”
Wheatley: “Secrets are best left secret!”
Pizza Steve: “...but I don’t know where Amelia could be…”
Kris thinks, before writing ‘eh, it’s fine, she couldn’t be doing anything bad’. Pizza Steve nods.
Pizza Steve: “Now let’s get back into the game!-”
The door opens, smacking Flowey into the wall.
Flowey: “OW! FUCKING HELL!”
N: “...Ooooh, sorry Flowey!”
It’s N! And Ploque too, who is using N’s arm for support.
N: “Anyways, I hope we aren’t too late! Slept in a little, heh heh…”
Pizza Steve and Wheatley look at each other knowingly.
Now what’s that supposed to mean?!
That’s for me to know and for you to find out. Anyways, Pizza Steve and Wheatley look back at N and Ploque.
Pizza Steve: “Sorry, bro, we’ve already been playing for a while! You’re free to watch, though.”
N: “Oh, biscuits! Well, I guess it isn’t too bad.”
Ploque: “...Was kinda looking forward to playing, mm…”
Ploque is very clearly still tired. N sits down criss-cross applesauce and Ploque lays down right next to him. Flowey saves himself from his door-y prison.
Flowey: “Alright, I’m back! Thanks a lot , N.”
N: “...For what?”
Flowey deadpans.
Flowey: “It’s an expression, you moron.”
Ploque: “Don’t call him a moron!...”
Flowey: “I will call WHOEVER I WANT a moron!-”
Kris shushes Flowey again, before picking up the die and rolling… Finally, cut to BFDI, where the plans have already been made, and their ‘meeting’ has clearly come to an end. Red, as per usual, is nowhere to be seen.
Squid: “Remember, people, keep this at the front of your mind . We don’t want this elimination clouding our plans.”
Blocky: “Consider it done!”
Nikoly: “Yep!”
Sundew: “Sure, whatever.”
Tree-y: “♪ it is in my mind and it will survive ♪”
Squid: “Good. Once we get into the challenge, if Red isn’t gone - which, unfortunately, I highly doubt he will be - someone can brief him on what we’re doing.”
Nikoly: “Sounds good to me! Now let’s go hippity-hop over to the eliminationo roomo and get this whole shebang over with!”
Sundew squints at Nikoly, confused.
Nikoly: “...What?”
Cut to the waiting room. Red is sitting, waiting.
Red: “Wow, it’s lonely in here… How long has it been?...”
Red looks up to a clock.
Red: “...”
Red: “I can’t read that.”
Koe opens up the door.
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “Alright, time for the-”
Koe realizes only Red is there.
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “...elimi…nation…”
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “...Where’s the rest of your team?”
Red: “Probably doing their planning things… I don’t usually bother to go.”
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “Hm, well, if they don’t come soon I could always just teleport them! Wouldn’t hurt to wait just a little bit more.”
Beat.
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “...Is it just me or is there a faint smell of peanut butter in the air-”
Blocky kicks the door open, and the rest of BFDI follows him into the waiting room.
Blocky: “See, now that’s how you make an entrance!”
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “Oh, perfect! Now we can get to the elimination!”
Koe slides into the elimination room as BFDI follows him and gets into their seats. Koe does awesome epic tricks to summon the holographic… graph. That’s a term, certainly.
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “Alright, folks, this time around we got 30 votes! Now, first on the agenda is the spin votes…”
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “Unfortunately for Squid-y and Tree-y, neither of them get it with just 2 votes each!”
Squid: “Disappointing.”
Tree-y: “♪ this is quite sad but i am not mad ♪”
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “Going alphabetically, our first reason goes to Squid - ‘Squid's are cool’.”
Squid: “I regret to inform you I’m not an actual squid. Don’t see how your brain could even begin to think I am… humans must be stupider than I thought.”
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “And Squid’s other reason is ‘Chad’.”
Red: “What’s that mean?...”
Nikoly: “You see, ‘chad’ means-”
Squid drops a pillar of blocks onto Nikoly to get him to shut up.
Squid: “Continue.”
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “Will do! For Tree-y’s vote reasons, we first have ‘You are a tree
I hope this vote fills you with glee’.”
Tree-y: “♪ it does indeed fill me with glee ♪”
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “And his second reason is ‘i vote for tree-y
methinks he'll sweep-y’. Really did speak too soon.”
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “Now, next up to not spin is… Sundew! With just 3 votes!”
Sundew: “I wasn’t expecting any different.”
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “First up for Sundew’s reasons is ‘Wings of Fire saved my ass during the library part of middle school. sooo I think that deserves a quick lil prize vote! -paleskowitz’.”
Sundew: “...And what, exactly, does that have to do with me?”
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “It’s a meta thing.”
Nikoly: “I get it!”
Squid: “And of course you do.”
Mr. Koe Hozhd: “Next is ‘Woo! Sundew! Yeah!’.”
Blocky: “Y’know you’ve hit it big when people are cheering for you in their vote reasons instead of actually writing anything! You get me?”
Sundew rolls her eyes.
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “And lastly, we have ‘Snudooo
(willow x sundew is best ship)’.”
Tree-y: “♪ who is willow sounds like a nice fellow ♪”
Sundew: “My girlfriend.”
Blocky: “...Wait, wait, wait, you have a girlfriend?”
Sundew: “Are you confused about the significant other part or the lesbian part?”
Blocky: “A bit of both.”
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “Anyways, last to not get to spin before we hit the bottom two is… Red, with 5 votes!”
Red: “D’aw…”
Squid: “And nothing was lost.”
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “For his first reason, we have ‘red deserves to exist. theyre just a little bean-shaped creature who brings happiness to us (the audience) and we love them for it despite them not liking violence
-zapper
(koe, please tear off the rest of this note and hand it over to red.)’. …Alright, will do!”
Koe tosses the vote reason to Red, who falls over in his chair trying to catch it.
Red: “Ow…”
Blocky laughs, as Red gets back up and picks up the vote reason.
‘special request for you, little red fellow! can you show rocket this ( https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/1173357049237733529/1173359500795846666/SPOILER_hop_on_phighting.gif?ex=6563ab30&is=65513630&hm=ae16f1b8f11cbc1ac70f69766a87a3295b64bc0167233ead2811efeb9fb662b5& ) this would’ve been added to one of my vote reasons last episode but i was afraid it would make my reason too long… i just feel like causing some havoc, yknow? good luck’.
Red squints at the gif shown, confused, but shrugs and pockets it for later.
Tree-y: “♪ what was the reason unless saying it is treason ♪”
Nikoly: “Ha. Tree son.”
Red: “It’s… just a request to give Rocket an image.”
Nikoly: “It’s gay.”
Red: “...how did yo-”
Nikoly: “You will never know!”
Nikoly backflips out the window.
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “...”
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “...Continuing onwards, the next reason for Red is ‘When the imposter is sus do do do do do do do do do do - ADAGE P.S. https://youtu.be/g4cncFN8Yic?si=XPLD-a7D1SBZ6ls-’. Okay last time I was asked to look at a video it was horrible, so lemme just…”
Koe plays the video to himself.
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “...Well, it wasn’t as bad this time, but… Yeah, I’m not playing that still. Have fun and watch it yourself, viewers.”
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “Moving on, the next reason is ‘he sexy.’.”
Red: “What?”
Koe shrugs.
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “Lastly, we have ‘Dimentio: Amogus
Discord: ... For all that is chaotic, please never say that again.’.”
Nikoly floats up from the window.
Nikoly: “amogus.”
Nikoly then noclips to his seat.
Red: “What’s an amogus?...”
Squid: “You’re better off not knowing.”
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “Alright, with all that done, we’re down to our bottom two - Blocky and Nikoly! One of you guys got 7 votes, and the other got 11!”
Nikoly: “Trust me, I’m getting the win!”
Blocky: “Ha! Good luck beating the prankster god himself.”
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “For reasons, we’ll start with Blocky’s - ‘Block guy… I honestly don’t like you that much, but anyone who has a sick as hell minigun has earned my vote!’.”
Blocky: “Who wouldn’t love this thing?”
Blocky pulls out a replica of his sick as hell minigun from last time, and unintentionally points it right at Red’s face.
Red: “Uh- I wouldn’t- when it’s pointed at me-”
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “Next reason is ‘all hail blocky !!
- starry.’.”
Blocky: “Yes! Hahahahaha!”
Blocky: “...For all intents and purposes, I’m just joking. Being a dictator ain’t any fun, y’know, makes funny doings not as satisfying.”
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “Third reason is ‘You savEd N Enough said also I'm hErE to dEliver a mEssagE to you, woody says hi’.”
Blocky: “I am heroic, aren’t I? Also, hey Woodster!”
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “Fourth up is ‘blocky’.”
Nikoly: “That’s the most emotionally-charged, eye-watering sentence I’ve ever heard!”
Nikoly dramatically falls over.
Squid: “...It’s just Blocky’s name.”
Sundew: “Ever heard of sarcasm?”
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “And lastly, we have ‘beefydie
also
*insert random yellow face ad here*’. Wait, what do you mea-”
Cut to a Yellow Face ad.
Yellow Face: “Hey, viewers! Have you ever wanted somewhere where you can discuss this very show without hanging around in the comments? Well, for the low low price of $4,900,000,000, you can join the Official CECU Discord Server! It’s a place where you can talk about any competition show here on this site! So yeah, buy now!”
Disclaimer: You don’t actually need to pay anything. Also, yes, this is shameless self-promotion. The link will be at the note at the end of the episode. Anyways, cut back to the elimination.
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “...Okay, then. Let’s continue the vote reason… ‘and
hru red? good i hope!
- Ember Nyxtical (EmberTheAlphaWolf)
i omor (yes we're continuing the omori)’. Well, the rest of that reason was uneventful!”
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “Now, onto Nikoly, we start with ‘Only one to actually put up a fight against lamb.’.”
Blocky: “Hey! That’s completely untrue!”
Squid: “For some of us, apparently…”
Squid squints at Red and Sundew.
Red: “How’d you even find that out?!”
Blocky holds up his book of truths.
Red: “.”
Red: “oh”
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “The next reason is ‘Best fish, appreciated the action to try and kill The Lamb. You did a good job my fishy friend!… Also is it just me or if you paint yourself a certain shade of a yellowish-orange you can become a gold-fish… Oh wait right! Here is a gift.
-Gift-box contains a Slice of pie…
- It’s your typical looking pie, not sure what’s it’s made of though.
-Kairos hopes you enjoy the offering.’.”
The gift box appears in Nikoly’s hands, and he does indeed open it to see a slice of pie.
Nikoly: “Nice! [###] flavored pie! I sure hope this doesn’t become a plot point!”
Red: “...What does that mean-”
Nikoly squashes the pie slice into his face and eats it whole.
Nikoly: “Yum.”
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “...Third reason is ‘They did a suprising lot for being... Whatever they are. (A fish, I think?) Plus I like glowy colors :) (Fun fact, I actually type most of these out on a Nintendo Switch :D And since that one was short, here's another, actually related, fun fact: I actually know somebody nicknamed Deathmoth, so if your out there Deathmoth, hopefully your AI isn't chaotic :) ) That's it, I like rambling :D -Tayoga’. Wonder what that last part’s supposed to mean.”
Nikoly: “Of course I’m a fish!... well, Utopi Espacio, in more technical terms. Search up https://rblx-espacio-mining.fandom.com/wiki/Espacio in your browser to learn more!”
Squid: “I’m not sure I even want to know how you said a website link.”
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “...Well then. Fourth reason for Nikoly is ‘Good fight against lamb
Tiiiiiiiissssss I the lore guy i am here to give either lore or fun facts about some of you
I don't have facts about you guys except red i guess soooo im reusing lore’.”
Nikoly: “Thank you!”
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “And lastly, we have ‘HELLO Bartholumule Bob here and my bday is tomorrow so only lore for tree-y today.
Tree-y is from a similar dimension as other objects but his world is highly illogical and wired and everybody in it is very simple but compared to some it’s not that bad.
I will also stop my full teem lore explorations and move to eliminated characters for the foreseeable future as well as doing less characters at once.
(Also I voted Nikoly for the prize since they got the most hits on lamb.)’.”
Nikoly: “You see, I’m just so awesome at fighting!”
Tree-y: “♪ my home isnt weird theres nothing to fear ♪”
Tree-y: “♪ not very simple either uh beaver ♪”
Squid: “I beg to differ.”
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “Now, let’s initiate the drumroll!”
Nikoly beatboxes a drumroll as spotlights shine on him and Blocky. Blocky is highly anticipating the win…
Nikoly has 7 votes.
Blocky has 11.
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “And Blocky wins the prize, again, with 11 votes!”
Blocky: “Aw, yeah! Suck it, Nikoly!”
Nikoly pouts.
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “For the first of the two remaining reasons, we have ‘It was a close tie between Blocky and Nikoly this episode, but I feel like Blocky takes the win for my vote this time around. Both are great (though I'll touch on Nikoly later), but Blocky has more fun interactions with both teammates and opposing contestants, and is generally a stronger contestant in various ways.’.”
Nikoly: “Y’know what, I’ll count that as a win in my book!”
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “And, for our last IWoL spin reason, we have ‘Compensation
Night_Owl’.”
Blocky: “Compensation for…?”
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “We’ll get right into that, after you spin!”
Koe pushes Blocky over to the Incredible Wheel of Luck. He spins it, and gets…
‘Pineapple’
Blocky: “...”
Blocky: “Works for me!”
A pineapple appears in Blocky’s hands. He jumps back into his seat.
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “And with that, we’re finally at the actual elimination! First safe, of course, are Blocky, Nikoly, and Red, with 2 votes each!”
Koe spins wildly and smacks Blocky and Red in the face with pizza slices. Nikoly catches his, though.
Nikoly: “Pizza and pie! Perfect!”
Nikoly eats his pizza slice in one bite, practically unhinging his jaw to do so.
Sundew: “I’d rather not ask how your mouth can do that.”
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “Now, for vote reasons, we start with Blocky! - ‘sorry. i had to chose someone. gave you a vote for the IWoL to make up for it.
Night_Owl’. Now you know what that compensation was.”
Blocky: “Eh, no biggie.”
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “And secondly, we have ‘i chose by random lmao
-zapper’.”
Blocky: “Ok, well, you didn’t vote me for spinning, so yes biggie!”
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “Onto Nikoly, we first have ‘fish’.”
Nikoly: “Okay, and?”
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “And his other reason is ‘spun a wheel between squid, tree-y, and nikoly n it landed on the latter
sorry :(
btw lamb was fucking with the vote reasons as well as mind controlling people before uhh... that fuckin chaos. so yeah, im glad that lamb is FUCKING GONE. :yippee:
- Ember Nyxtical (EmberTheAlphaWolf)
i omor’. Damn, Lamb was doing that? Explains all the blank spots in the vote reasons. If he wasn’t already dead you know damn well I’d do something about that.”
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “Finally, with Red, his first reason received is ‘Useless and also im sick of amogus STOP POSTING AB-’.”
Red: “What’s an amogus??? Seriously, I feel out of the loop…”
Nikoly: “Among us sussy baka.”
Red: “That didn’t explain anything…”
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “His other vote reason is ‘Guys he’s the IMPOSTER… but in all seriousness surrendering was a cowards move in my opinion. You are also.. have a very.. “flat” personality. Take this with a grain of salt, you have a lot of character development to be done outside of this plane of existence. -Kairos feels tired.’.”
Red: “...If I didn’t surrender I would’ve died…”
Red crosses his… magical floating hands?...
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “Now, with the trio of first safes over, we get to the third-to-last safe, which is… Squid, with 5 votes!”
Koe throws a pizza slice at Squid, who dodges it.
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “Aw.”
Squid: “I can’t even eat, what do you expect me to do with that?”
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “...fair”
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “Anyways, your first vote reason is ‘I forgot squid existed so I voted them.’.”
Squid: “You have to be kidding me.”
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “Next is ‘...
???: Is this thing on... Ah there we go.
Deadpool: Hello people of this realm, it's me, the merc with a mouth, coming from You live from the Void!... Yeah I have no idea how me and the double D reality warpers ended up here, but while we look for Shade and Lumina, we'll be leaving the votes... This challenge was unique to Say the least SO our votes we're literally at random –3–... So yeah.’.”
Nikoly: “Oh sick, Deadpool! Always wanted to meet that guy.”
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “Third up is ‘I was gonna vote Tree-y, but the making lamb fall thing is funny enough that I’ll do that next time. Sorry squid. -paleskowitz’.”
Squid: “Seriously? What is it with human’s sense of humor?”
Tree-y: “♪ that isnt very nice you should think twice ♪”
Tree-y: “♪ before you say things that may be mean ♪”
Squid: “You say that as if I have many qualms about morality.”
Tree-y: “...♪ thats a bit dark and quite a bit of snark ♪”
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “Finally, we have ‘Squid is a marine animal, i am ignorant about what they really are, i see a marine animal name I eliminate’.”
Squid: “Wh- why would you vote me based off just my name ? If anything, why didn’t you vote Nikoly?!”
Squid glances over to Nikoly.
Squid: “For the record, I’m only setting an example.”
Nikoly gives a thumbs up in response, despite not having any thumbs.
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “Now, we have our final two… Sundew and Tree-y!”
Spotlights shine down on the two. Sundew seems a bit concerned, while Tree-y is quivering in his metaphorical boots.
Tree-y: “♪ i dont want to leave it does not fill me with glee ♪”
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “The votes of you two were quite close, but one of you came out on top with 9, with the other getting 10. But who will it be? We’ll just have to see! …Oh, darn, now I’m rhyming!”
Koe shakes himself.
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “That better get the Dr. Seuss vibes outta my system. Anyways, for vote reasons, we’ll start with Sundew! - ‘you're not *bad*, but i like everybody else more and nikoly grew on me’.”
Sundew: “Now that’s at least partially understandable… Unlike some people’s reasons… ”
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “Next is ‘Nikoly - As I said in the spin vote reason, Nikoly's a great contestant, on par with Blocky. For a character with no previous Ao3 fics, he's definitely a strong pick, with his funny dialogue and scenes, plus his ability to become Observed Nikoly.
Red - Now that Lamb's arc is over, Red has his chance to truly shine with the potential arcs that he can bring. Besides that, he's generally a pretty good character.
Squid - The definition of plain good. He's not great, he's not meh or bad, he just... is. He has his good moments and definitely has a strong position, but he could be utilized more often and in more interesting ways.
Tree-y - Now this is where this team enters the meh category. He gets some sympathy points this elimination for being a debuter, but honestly, he's just... not that interesting for the most part. I do feel like he has potential, though, especially with whatever he did this episode to make Lamb inexplicably fall over and his general peaceful demeanor.
Sundew - Look, she's not bad in any way, but she doesn't contribute much to the team... at all. She used to act as a middle ground between Red and the rest of BFDI, but since Tree-y's introduction he's fit that role better as Sundew has become... a background character, for lack of a better term to describe her.’.”
Red: “...Is that what Nikoly’s weird evil form is called?”
Nikoly shrugs.
Blocky: “Now, wait, hold on, what’s that about an ‘Ao3 fic’? Are you trying to imply something, voter person?”
Nikoly: “It is something not of our concern.”
Squid: “I wouldn’t say tha-”
Nikoly: “It is something not of our concern.”
Squid blinks.
Squid: “...well then. Point taken.”
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “Third reason is ‘Sorry sundew as amazing as you are you haven’t been helping the team enough in my opinion, not to mention you surrendered to lamb and you were the probably the strongest in that group lamb found you in.
—the Spector who shot them self.’.”
Sundew: “Do I have to explain myself? Because I will. Look, I know that to most people what I did was ‘cowardly’ or some other jazz. But look at who we were up against, and tell me that I should’ve fought. Lamb killed who knows how many people before he encountered us, and facing off against him would’ve been a death wish. And, as far as we knew, it would’ve been a permanent death, and I’m not getting myself killed when I knew- well, thought, Lamb did get defeated but only after who knows how many more fights- that it wouldn’t’ve have done anything in the end. I’d rather keep my life intact.”
Nikoly: “🤓”
Sundew: “Quiet.”
Nikoly: “Aw.”
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “And lastly, we have ‘aghhhhhh hardest vote ever :( picking sundew because most everyone else with combat capability helped to stopped lamb. like even tree-y contributed’.”
Sundew: “Refer to what I just said.”
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “Now, for Tree-y, we start with ‘Not gonna lie, Koe definitely could've chosen someone better. It's not exactly tree-guy's fault, but, yeeeeeah’. …ngl yea probably”
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “Next is ‘Trees suck because they make oxygen. Everyone knows you should be breathing smoke instead, that’s why it’s the first of the four elements - ADAGE’.”
Squid: “I have lost all hope in humanity’s intelligence.”
Tree-y: “♪ im very confused it does not leave me amused ♪”
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “Third reason for Tree-y is ‘shrugs
kinda annoyinf 2 me?????? idrk
- ztarry’.”
Tree-y: “♪ that is fair uh …not everything will appeal and that’s okay”
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “Last is ‘I think ur silly and goofy (Good) but u don’t do stuff (Bad)!!’.”
Tree-y: “♪ i have done some things maybe you need to see ♪”
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “Now, we see who’s out. Will Tree-y survive his first elimination, or will Sundew survive her third? It’s time to find out!”
Nikoly beatboxes a drumroll again. Sundew stares intently at the graph as sweat beads down Tree-y’s face…
Tree-y received 9 votes.
Sundew is out with 10.
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “And looks like luck’s run out for Sundew! Tree-y survives his first elimination.”
Koe throws a slice of pizza at Tree-y.
Tree-y: “♪ my first prize i’ll treasure this for life ♪”
Sundew: “You know what? I’m not even mad. Just disappointed.”
Sundew gets up from her chair.
Sundew: “Let’s get this over with.”
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “Great, right to the chase! But, first I gotta read the rest of the vote reasons - well, they’re all for Tree-y anyways, but still.”
Sundew grumbles.
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “First is ‘Kinda bland tbh.’.”
Tree-y: “♪ that’s not very nice why must you make strife ♪”
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “Second is ‘Tree I guess also kinda useless
I am he who giveth lore
Fun fact
Lamb can technically revive in his old world but I guess because the god who revives him isn't in this world he will hopefully stay dead’.”
Tree-y: “♪ my point still stands but this reason mmm its interesting”
Nikoly: “Ay, Blocky, you recording this? Tree-y keeps messing up his songs!”
Blocky: “You know damn well I am!”
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “Next reason is ‘Look, I like the whole rhyming thing, but he can barely do anything (nothing against him tho, he's still cool :D) PS, don't question the note ;) -Tayoga’.”
Tree-y: “♪ what is the note that you have wrote ♪”
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “Beats me. Anyways, last reason is ‘HEy its thE guy with thE brokEn E kEy (im gEtting it fixEd soon) anyways gEtting to the Elimination Sorry you don't add much to this tEam and thEres nothing you do to hElp this timE’. …And all this time, I thought the capital Es were intentional. Huh.”
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “Well, that’s all the reasons done. Any last words, Sundew?”
Sundew: “Screw you viewers.”
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “...feisty ending, I see. Welp, byebye!”
Koe uses the THoE to ensnare Sundew within. Tree-y looks befuddled by this, having never witnessed an elimination before.
Tree-y: “♪ where did she go because i do not know ♪”
Red: “Inside the… uh… Temporary Holder of Eliminated? I think that’s what it’s called. Koe shoots it at you and you get trapped inside until you’re released.”
Tree-y: “♪ that doesnt sound ethical but i guess thats hypothetical ♪”
Tree-y: “♪ i just hope shes safe inside the place ♪”
Squid: “That barely rhymed.”
Tree-y: “♪ im trying my best please dont put me to a test ♪”
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “Alright, alright, enough talking, it’s challenge time!”
Koe heads out of the room, as the rest of BFDI follows suit. Cut to outside, with everyone gathered as per usual.
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “Alright, so… Back to regular challenges! This time around, I figured… well, most of you guys have some amount of fighting ability!”
Koe glances over to Amelia and Plankton. Amelia averts her sight while Plankton gets angry.
Plankton: “Hey! We’re the ones who fixed you!”
Amelia: “...I still didn’t do anything…”
Plankton: “Shh! Also, if you’re gonna get pissy on that stuff, why not target Nacho! All she did was throw a bomb at my face!”
Nacho: “It was fake, by the way.”
Plankton: “Still!”
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “Alright, folks, calm down, I was just joking! Onto the main topic, I figured, we could use those abilities for our next challenge… which will be a battle royale! Each team will have to fight to survive. Whichever team survives to the end will get to choose who goes up for elimination! And, for this challenge, not only can you team up with others as much as you’d like, friendly fire is completely allowed!”
Artificer groans as she sees Nacho get a smirk on her face. Torch God writes ‘WHY IS LIFE SO CRUEL’.
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “But, I will add that you won’t have to rely on just what you have - there’ll be opportunities to collect weapons and the like during the challenge to make things a bit fairer for the weaker bunch of you… or for those who are already powerful to get even more powerful! I won’t judge. With all said and done, the challenge begins… now!”
Koe snaps, and the teams are teleported to a giant island, forming a large circle around the perimeter. The screen zooms in on CF.
Wheatley: “Alright, buds, what’s our plan for the challenge?”
Pizza Steve: “Okay, okay, how about we split up into two groups so that we can cover more ground?”
N: “I’m not sure how good of an idea that is, wouldn't that make it easier for people to go - pew pew! - and take us out?”
Wheatley: “I side with N on this one, it seems dangerous!”
Flowey: “Well, I’ll take anything to get away from that idiot Wheatley-”
Wheatley: “Hey!”
Flowey: “-so I’m all for splitting up!”
Kris nods in agreement.
Ploque: “...I honestly just want to rest…”
Well, Stanley, I don’t have much of an opinion on this argument, so I’ll let you pick.
Stanley moves to N’s side.
Fair enough.
The members of CF start to debate over what to do - except for Amelia, who… slips away? It takes a while for someone to notice.
N: “Hey, uh, is someone missing?”
Wheatley looks around.
Wheatley: “It appears our friend Amelia has deserted us! I wonder why…”
Pizza Steve: “Looks like we’re gonna have to split up regardless, bros.”
Flowey: “Haha! Yes!”
Kris begins to write ‘but if we have 7 people’, but Stanley points upwards to insinuate the presence of the Narrator. Kris blinks, before finishing by writing ‘but if we have 7 CORPOREAL people, then how are we gonna split things up evenly.
Wheatley: “We can just count Stanley and his buddy separately!”
Ploque: “That makes the most sense to me.”
Good to see at least some people consider me more than just a hanger-on. …Looking at you, other narrator.
lol
Pizza Steve: “Well, let’s get to splitting up then! I’m definitely sticking with my bro N!”
Pizza Steve slides his way over to N, and the two fistbump.
Ploque: “I’ll also go with N… not to be rude, but I don’t really know the rest of you well enough.”
Kris writes ‘that’s fair’.
Flowey: “Alright! Kris, you and me, we’re going on a team because unlike most of these people you aren’t afraid of danger as much.”
Ploque: “I’m right here, asshole.”
Flowey: “Okay, well, you can’t even walk on your own right now so you’re excluded.”
Ploque: “That doesn’t mean I can’t do anything!”
Flowey: “Whatever. Bye. I’m leaving.”
Flowey scoots over to Kris, who gives a disappointed expression.
Flowey: “What?”
Wheatley looks at Flowey, and then rolls himself over to N’s group.
And of course we have to go with the psychopath. Isn’t that great?
Really is, isn’t it.
Shut up, it’s sarcasm.
Flowey: “Now let’s go kick some ass!”
Flowey laughs and rushes off, Kris following him. Stanley unwillingly follows.
Wheatley: “I feel bad for him.”
Pizza Steve: “The incorporeal dude with him probably isn’t happy, either.”
N: “Eh, you never know!”
Silence.
Wheatley: “...do you three reckon we should go now?”
Ploque: “Yeah, it’d be better than being literal sitting ducks.”
The group of four head off. Cut to NNIT.
Artificer: “Alright, we need to devise a strategy. Plankton, since you-”
Artificer turns and sees that Nacho is holding up Plankton.
Artificer: “Fucking hell, WHAT are you doing?!”
Nacho: “Assassination.”
Plankton: “Put me down, you fiend!”
Nacho: “Mmm… don’t feel like it.”
Artificer points a spear to Nacho’s neck.
Artificer: “I could and would stab you right now, but unfortunately the challenge requests I don’t. So put him down. NOW.”
Nacho: “You can’t make me do anythi-”
Nacho suddenly catches on fire and turns to ash. Plankton is dropped to the floor safely, who blinks in confusion. Torch God makes a :> face.
Plasma Ball: “That was unnecessarily brutal.”
Torch God writes ‘IT WAS HER OR PLANKTON’.
Plasma Ball: “Yeah, fair.”
Plankton: “Well, thank you for that! Now, I have to be off. The win awaits!”
Plankton begins to run off.
Plasma Ball: “You asshole, you just got saved and now you’re leaving without helping us!?”
Plankton: “The plan doesn’t involve you people, so deal with it!”
Plankton goes into the distance. Artificer sighs.
Artificer: “Just great.”
The Knight thinks for a moment, before sketching a plan in the ground - find a place with a ton of loot and weapons and turn it into a base to take out anyone who dares to come by.
Artificer: “That could work.”
Plasma Ball: “Nothing better to do, so might as well.”
Torch God makes a thumbs up. The Knight points their nail to the distance - not the same way Plankton went - and insinuates to head that way, before dashing in the direction they pointed. The rest of the team present follows after. Cut to RCoKJ.
King Julien: “Well, this challenge might be a bit difficult, now that two of our best fighters are gone.”
Donkey: “I’m sure it’ll be fine, man!”
Spider-Ham: “Look, King Julien, there’s nothing to worry about! I can just web anyone who attacks and boom! Easy win! And if that doesn’t work-”
Spider-Ham pulls out a wooden hammer from nowhere and twirls it in his hand.
Spider-Ham: “I have some other tricks up my sleeve.”
Spider-Ham then puts away the hammer.
Rocket: “Woah! How’d you do that?”
Spider-Ham: “Cartoon logic, my friend! Now, we should probably be going, right, King Julien?”
King Julien: “Yes! Off we go, to fight and win!”
Carl nods.
Carl: “I approve. Let’s go. I can get some more meat for my meat dragon.”
Rocket: “...I don’t wanna know what that is…”
The team heads off, and arrives at what looks like a dilapidated town.
Rocket: “Spooky.”
Donkey: “Y’think anyone’s home?”
King Julien: “Not with a town like this, that’s for sure!”
Carl: “That’s a shame. Could’ve used the extra material.”
Rocket looks at Carl confusedly.
Carl: “What? I didn’t say anything. Not at all!”
Rocket: “...okay…”
Spider-Ham: “Hey! Guys! Look at this!”
Spider-Ham shouts from inside one of the houses. The rest of the team heads over and sees that he’s currently standing in front of a chest.
King Julien: “Splendid! There should be something inside of there, right? I believe that is what our competition’s host said.”
Spider-Ham: “Yep! Now let’s break this bad boy open!”
Spider-Ham pulls on the lid of the chest to open it, but struggles.
Spider-Ham: “Mmm… that’s a problem.”
Donkey: “Lemme have a go!”
Donkey tries opening it with his mouth, but fails.
Donkey: “Drats.”
Carl walks up the stand.
Carl: “I’ll deal with this. Stand back, folks. Things might get a bit dangerous.”
Carl pulls out a wholeass BATTLEAXE and slices the lid off the chest, while still keeping the loot inside safe… It’s just a slingshot.
Carl: “Bummer. Should’ve been a bomb or something.”
Rocket: “Well, King Julien could use it! He doesn’t have a weapon, or really strong kicks like Donkey does.”
Donkey: “Mmhmm, I got the best of those!”
King Julien: “Then I shall take this weapon, as our first reward of this challenge!”
King Julien hops over to the chest and pulls out the slingshot.
King Julien: “There may be more chests like this in the area. I suggest we spread out and cover all the buildings here before heading out!”
The other four members all accept the task, and the team disperses to loot the town. Cut to IDIOT. Awkward silence occurs as everyone stands still.
Charlie the Unicorn: “...So… Does anyone have any ideas or are we just going to sit around doing nothing?”
Science Bear: “I suppose I could try building something to help us out in this challenge if we can scavenge enough materials. Though, that depends on if we can find any source.”
Charles: “Sounds good to me! Enderman, think ya can help us out with that? Since, y’know, teleportation and stuff.”
Enderman nods, and manages to hold everyone in their arms before teleporting away. They pop up at what looks like an abandoned warehouse, with a faded logo above the doors that’s barely visible. The remaining letters write ‘Y L W CE W H US’. Wonder what that means.
Science Bear: “Oh, this is perfect!”
Enderman grins and gives a thumbs up. Science Bear heads inside.
Charles: “So, we’re just waiting around now, I guess?”
Enderman blinks, then shrugs.
Charlie the Unicorn: “Not all of us. Test Tube, you should go help him since you’re knowledgeable on all that science mumbo jumbo-”
Blue shakes his head no, as Test Tube looks away.
Charlie the Unicorn: “And why the hell not? I don’t see any good reason why-”
Blue silently glares - with his nonexistent eyes, of course. He doesn’t say much, only telling that Test Tube’s not doing well. Charlie narrows his eyebrows.
Charlie the Unicorn: “That’s not an excuse, I’ve gone through so much shit and yet I still have the guts to at least do some things ! And are you even considering what Test Tube wants?! Who knows, maybe she’d actually want to help, but you’re actively refusing - intentionally or not - to allow her to speak her mind!-”
Charles pushes the two apart before anything can happen.
Charles: “Guys, guys, chill out! We don’t need to get so heated!”
Charlie the Unicorn: “And how do you believe you have a say in this?! This conversation isn’t even including you, and I’m not going to let this slide so soon-”
Charles turns to Charlie.
Charles: “You’re just accusing without rhyme or reason, man!”
Charlie the Unicorn: “It’s called being argumentative !”
Blue shouts something about Charlie constantly causing problems.
Charlie the Unicorn: “You think I want to? Hell no! But I see something clearly not right, and I have to put my hoof down and correct it. It’s just that you people won’t get it through your thick skulls that I’m only trying to help!”
As Charlie aggressively argues with Blue and Charles, Enderman steps away, and looks to Test Tube concernedly. They tilt their head, asking if Test Tube’s okay.
Test Tube: “...Not really.”
Test Tube twiddles her thumbs, looking away. Enderman tries to ask what’s wrong, but Test Tube doesn’t answer. The mob lets out a sigh and looks up to see that the quarreling between Charlie and Blue and Charles is still going on. Science Bear exits from the warehouse soon after.
Science Bear: “I’ve gathered all the required materi… als…”
Science Bear sees what’s going on. Blue, Charles, and Charlie all turn their attention to Science Bear shortly thereafter.
Science Bear: “What happened while I was gone?”
Charlie the Unicorn: “Pointless argument, that’s what.”
Charles: “Yeah, but only because you were being stubborn!”
Blue nods.
Science Bear: “Look, calm down, just- what was the argument about? I can try to find a resolve.”
Charlie the Unicorn: “I tried to propose that Test Tube help you, but Blue jumped in and acting like a knight in shining armor about it and gave what I found lousy excuses -”
Science Bear cuts Charlie off.
Science Bear: “Charlie, you really should not push anything.”
Charlie the Unicorn: “You too?! And I thought you were usually reasonable !”
Science Bear: “Look, opinions may differ, but it is a cold, hard fact that people shouldn’t be pushed to do things when they’re in a bad state of mind like Test Tube currently is.”
Charlie the Unicorn: “Mmm, yeah, ironic you say that to me. I’ve dealt with worse and I’ve still bothered to do things!-”
Science Bear: “You don’t know what Test Tube’s gone or going through. Granted, I don’t know either, but clearly you do not actually care if you refuse to acknowledge that. Plus, have you even asked her if she actually does want to?”
Charlie tries to retort, but Science Bear shoots him a condescending glare… man’s actually pissed off for once??? Anyways, Science Bear turns to Test Tube, who is still standing beside Enderman.
Science Bear: “Test Tube?”
Test Tube is silent for a moment. Enderman pats her on the back silently. Test Tube smiles, before answering.
Test Tube: “...Well, I guess it… wouldn’t hurt for me to help out! It’d probably… get my mind off things…”
Science Bear: “And there’s your answer, Charlie. Even if she ended up wanting to, like you wanted, your point faltered because of your approach and your reasonings. I implore you to formulate your argument properly before causing such a squabble again.”
Science Bear then turned around to Blue and Charles.
Science Bear: “Blue and Charles, I won’t say I’m disappointed, I… merely wish you also took a different approach. Especially you, Blue. I expected better. Your actions may have been in good faith, but this was not the way to go about it, and your points were not the best either.”
Blue looks away defeatedly.
Charles: “I was just trying to stand up for Blue-”
Science Bear: “And yet all you did was perpetuate a cycle of shouting and hollow words.”
Charles frowns.
Science Bear: “Now, let’s please move past this and get to working on the challenge.”
Science Bear pulls out the materials he gathered and begins tinkering on a machine, Test Tube helping him shortly after. Enderman sits down with them. Blue and Charles shuffle awkwardly, looking at Charlie, who gives an angry glare. Blue stares at him in response.
Cut to BFDI.
Squid: “Alright, so, we already have the plans set. Blocky, Nikoly, Tree-y, you all remember, correct?”
Blocky: “Obviously!”
Nikoly: “Yep!”
Tree-y: “♪ i am a tree and i do indeed ♪”
Squid: “Good. We just need to explain it to Red, and we should be se-”
Red: “Ehh… don’t bother, I’m… probably not going to do anything this challenge.”
Squid goes silent, staring deep into Red’s soul.
Squid: “Why.”
Red: “I don’t really wanna go kill people and stuff!”
Squid: “It’s nothing of concern when we can literally get revived without a problem.”
Red: “I know that, but it still feels wrong! You can’t blame me!”
Squid: “I can, because having those sort of qualms in the environment we’re in is useless.”
Red: “Gh- do you not have morals or something?!”
Squid: “Morals are nothing more than a hindrance. I work only to make sure what must be done is done. Do you think I care a single bit about who I have to kill or leave in the dust?!”
Red goes silent.
Squid: “That’s what I thought.”
On the sidelines, Blocky, Nikoly, and Tree-y look at each other. Blocky shrugs at what’s going on.
Squid: “And how come you suddenly care about this? All you do is sit around doing jack shit and letting the rest of us do the work! Even Tree-y does more than you, and he can’t even walk! Put this in perspective, you boneheaded nitwit - we have five people. Tied for last. If we screw up and get put up for elimination again? We’re screwed. One of us people who actually does things is going to get out because apparently you’re a saint to everyone ever and will never get out, and we’re going to spiral into a cycle of loss after loss after loss until we’re dead meat! Do you want that?! Is that your goal?!”
Squid is absolutely seething, shooting daggers at Red with the force of a thousand blades. Red drops to the ground out of fear, staring at Squid with a frightened expression.
Squid: “And yet, you refuse to say anything.”
Squid begins to float away, but glares back at Red.
Squid: “You’re not welcome on our team anymore. Figure something else out, but you’re effectively banned. Starting now.”
Squid turns back around.
Squid: “Let’s go.”
Squid leaves. Blocky and Nikoly leave without a second thought. Tree-y looks towards them, then back at Red. He doesn’t even bother to sing, he just says one thing.
Tree-y: “sorry”
Tree-y then gets pushed along by Squid’s blocks. Red sits on the ground, and curls up into a ball, beginning to cry…
Meanwhile, the members of BFDI approach an abandoned village, different from the one that RCoKJ found.
Blocky: “Perfect! We can take all the stuff and then rig this place to take out those losers from the other teams!”
Squid: “This place could do better, but better than nothing.”
Blocky turned to a larger building, and gained a smirk on his face.
Blocky: “I think I know where to start…”
Blocky ran over to the building and kicked the door open, Squid following after. Nikoly and Tree-y sat outside. Nikoly turned to Tree-y.
Nikoly: “So… can’t be the only one who thinks what happened earlier was a little teensy bit too far, right?”
Tree-y: “♪ you are correct that was kinda… ♪”
Tree-y struggles to find a rhyme.
Tree-y: “...not… a good experience.”
Nikoly and Tree-y sit in silence, before Nikoly heads inside where Blocky and Squid went. Tree-y slowly moves himself away to one of the other buildings. Cut to Plankton, who is walking through a forest on the island.
Plankton: “I swear to Neptune, if I’m completely lost…”
He then gets to a clearing, where Amelia also happens to be. She weakly waves hi.
Plankton: “Phew, finally! That forest felt like it was unnecessarily massive!”
Plankton hops over to Amelia.
Amelia: “What did you need me for?...”
Plankton: “Oh, it’s just a simple plan… that’ll make sure we DOMINATE this challenge!”
Amelia: “...that doesn’t tell much…”
Plankton: “Well, you see, it’s only a few steps…”
Plankton pulls out some sort of robotic suit out of nowhere.
Plankton: “We’ll be using this to attack and wipe out all the opposing teams!”
Amelia: “What… is that?...”
Plankton: “It’s a ham sandwich- WHAT DOES IT LOOK LIKE?!”
Amelia flinches.
Plankton: “Eh… too much?”
Amelia: “...Too much.”
Plankton shrugs.
Plankton: “Happens. Anyways, it’s a robot suit!”
Amelia: “And… who’s using it?...”
Plankton: “Well, technically both of us in a way! Just close your eyes and you’ll see!”
Amelia: “Okay?...”
Amelia closes her eyes. Plankton equips the robot suit onto her, and hops into what is now a control center, with a plastic dome protecting him. Amelia goes to open her eyes, but instead a screen on the robot suit turns on.
Plankton: “Voila! My greatest creation!”
Amelia: “...Did you…”
Plankton: “In a way, yeah, I’ve turned you into a cyborg of sorts. It can come off, though! I’m not going to stretch the use of this outside of the challenge, I at least have some level of respect!”
Amelia: “...How does this even… work?...”
Plankton: “Watch.”
Plankton flicks some levers and buttons, turning Amelia’s right arm into a cannon and then shooting a rocket out of it, said rocket hitting a tree. The resulting explosion scares Amelia.
Plankton: “Haha, yes! It works!”
Amelia: “I’m… conflicted…”
Plankton: “Look, it’s not permanent, don’t worry about it! And, it’s not like I’m completely controlling everything you do, I’m not that kind of person. Now, we have some people to fight!”
Plankton activates thrusters, and he and Amelia fly off. Cut to Flowey, Kris, and Stanley… and Narrator too.
You really like excluding me, don’t you?
Not gonna respond to that! Anyways, the group is walking. Nothing unusual yet.
Flowey: “This is boring as hell! Where’s the action? The combat?!”
The less we have, the better…
Kris writes ‘it’s better to have less since we’ll just get exhausted’. Flowey rolls his eyes, before looking ahead… Artificer, the Knight, Plasma Ball, and Torch God aren’t too far away. Flowey gains a mischievous smirk.
Don’t tell me he’s going to-
Flowey rushes towards the NNITers. Kris facepalms and follows after.
…I shouldn’t be surprised, honestly.
Over at the NNITers, Artificer seems to be scouting out the area by standing on one of her spears.
Artificer: “...Seems to be nothing but fields all around us.”
Plasma Ball: “Well, that’s just great!”
The Knight nods. They turn around and notice Flowey and Kris rushing towards the group, and immediately their eyes widen. They poke Artificer to try and catch her attention.
Artificer: “What?”
The Knight begins to point towards Flowey, but is ran over by a flurry of friendliness pellets.
Flowey: “Ha ha! Prepare to face me, losers!”
Torch God makes a >:| face, and then immediately catches Flowey on fire.
Flowey: “OW SHIT-”
Flowey submerges into the ground. Kris reaches, and then notices that the entire team is looking straight at them. They wave awkwardly, before the Knight gets up and slices at them with their nail. Kris manages to deflect with their sword, and pushes the Knight away. Artificer leaps down from her post and uppercuts Kris, knocking them away.
Artificer: “You made a bad choice trying to fight us.”
Kris is struck to the ground, slightly injured, but… suddenly has an idea. They call Stanley over as they get up and deflect attacks NNIT keeps throwing.
I’d rather not get involved in conflict, but I’m not sure if we have a choice… So, Stanley ran over to Kris to help them. Hopefully this ends well for us.
Kris grins, then initiates a Deltarune-style battle, Kris and Stanley on one side and Artificer, the Knight, Plasma Ball, and Torch God on the other.
Plasma Ball: “Are you kidding me, this again?!”
Torch God writes ‘WHAT THE HELL’. Oh, by the way, if you’re wondering where Narrator is?... He kinda got left back in the normal world.
You have to be kidding me.
L + ratio, bozo. Anyways, back to the battle interface…
> FIGHT
>> Plasma Ball
> FIGHT
>> Plasma Ball
Kris slashes, while Stanley throws a really weak punch. Both hit Plasma Ball, draining a lot of her HP.
Artificer: “Everyone, unleash your strongest attacks. This is clearly meant to disadvantage us, but we can’t just let these people win.”
The other three nod. In the bullet box, a plethora of attacks occur - spears fall down from the top, glass shards line the walls and jump out, fireballs fly from the bottom, and a nail slices across the majority of the screen twice. The heart manages to avoid most of it, though Kris and Stanley both get hurt a bit. In the text box at the bottom, a message appears…
[Stanley: …What just happened.]
Kris blinks, looking at Stanley. Stanley’s own eyes widen. The NNITers just look at each other and shrug.
[Stanley: Wait, I can actually talk here? How does that even work?]
Kris gives an ‘i dunno man let’s just deal with this though’ expression. Stanley nods in acceptance.
> FIGHT
>> Torch God
> FIGHT
>> Torch God
Kris makes a confused face… they were trying to aim for Plasma Ball again, not Torch God! Regardless, they and Stanley attack, knocking out a bit of Torch God’s torches and taking a hearty chunk of their HP. Torch God writes ‘OW’, and then ‘OK THAT’S IT’.
[Stanley: Oh, I’m sure it won’t be that bad-]
An insane amount of fire particles fly around the battle box.
[Stanley: What the fuck.]
The heart can’t possibly avoid them, and Torch God’s attacks end up taking out both Kris and Stanley. The battle ends, leaving the NNITers alone. The Knight pokes Kris, who crumples over, confirming death.
Artificer: “Good that that’s over with. I’d prefer not to experience that again.”
Plasma Ball: “Can we actually go now, then?”
Artificer nods. The group begins to leave, but the Knight steps on a tendril, which grabs them and drags them into the earth.
Artificer: “You have to be kidding me.”
Flowey emerges from the ground.
Flowey: “Missed me?”
Artificer: “Couldn’t begin to say so.”
Artificer pulls out two spears and tosses them at Flowey, who dodges them. Flowey then returns the attacks, hitting Artificer and sending her skidding away. Plasma Ball tries to run up and punch Flowey, but he slaps her away, partially shattering her. Flowey then turns to Torch God.
Flowey: “And what are you going to do? Try and burn me again? You know I’ll just go down and extinguish myself. You really can’t do anything about it, can you?-”
Torch God spews a bunch of fireballs at Flowey, charring him into ash immediately. Plasma Ball and Artificer get up.
Artificer: “...That fucking pest…”
Plasma Ball is clearly dazed, about half of her head being gone.
Plasma Ball: “weLEL ThaT waSN’T Funnn.”
Torch God makes a :| face. Artificer slaps Plasma Ball to shake her out of her state.
Plasma Ball: “Ow! What the hell was that for?!”
Artificer: “Making you sure you didn’t lose all your intelligence.”
Torch God writes ‘WAIT SO DID THE KNIGHT’
‘KINDA JUST DIE’
Silence ensues, before the Knight pops out of the ground and shakes off dirt.
‘OH’
…After a bit, they also write ‘WE SHOULD GO’.
Artificer: “Yeah.”
Plasma Ball: “Agreed.”
The four leave.
…so I’m just stuck here?
Basically. I don’t think anyone will acknowledge you’re technically still alive.
Technically?! It isn’t just a technicality! But, I suppose you’re right… and that really pisses me off.
Deal with it. Anyways, cu-
Do you always have to do this?
I can’t just have you hog all the screentime.
…You know what? Fair. That’s fair.
Good. Now, ACTUALLY cut to RCoKJ.
King Julien: “So, team, what have we found? I, personally, wasn’t able to collect any more weapons.”
Rocket: “I got a sword!”
Donkey: “Whatever this is!”
Donkey holds a whole-ass rifle in his mouth. Spider-Ham turns to Donkey, blinks, then turns back.
Spider-Ham: “I… couldn’t find anything either. Better luck next time, I guess!”
King Julien: “And Carl?”
Carl holds up a bomb with a skull on it.
Carl: “World-ending bomb.”
Spider-Ham’s jaw drops, quite literally.
Carl: “No, wait, I already had that.”
Carl puts the bomb away and pulls out a pair of nunchucks.
Carl: “This is actually what I found.”
Spider-Ham: “That’s really not better if you have a world-ending bomb !”
Carl: “Y’know, sometimes, you just wanna get the job done! And what’s better than exploding the entire planet?”
Spider-Ham: “Pretty much anything else???”
Carl: “You’re just a hater.”
King Julien: “Focus, friends, we need to focus!”
Rocket: “So… what’s next?”
King Julien: “It’d be good to move out and locate somewhere else where we can gather more weapons!”
Rocket: “Don’t we have enough as is, though?”
Donkey: “Yeah, we’ve got a good loadout!”
King Julien: “My uncle always said you can never be too prepared! So, that’s exactly what we’re going to do!”
Donkey: “Sounds good to me, let’s go!”
The team heads out. Insert montage of them walking.
Rocket: “Wow, there’s… really nothing around here.”
Spider-Ham: “How long do you guys reckon we’ve been walking?”
Donkey: “Feels like days!”
Rocket: “Maybe it was…”
King Julien: “I’m sure it’ll be fine, my loyal citizens! We’ll get out of this humdrum soon enough-”
Something falls out of a tree nearby, making a loud sound.
King Julien: “...”
King Julien: “Dibs on not seeing what that was!”
Spider-Ham: “I’ll do the honors.”
Spider-Ham runs over to see what it was… it was Red. Looks like the fall was fatal, as his top half is gone and a bone is sticking out of his abdomen.
Spider-Ham: “...Ooo, that must suck…”
King Julien: “What’s wrong?”
King Julien, alongside the rest of RCoKJ, runs to Spider-Ham and sees the body of Red.
Rocket: “How’d that happen?!”
Carl: “Eh, it’s free food.”
Donkey: “Hey, come on, show some respect for the recently deceased!”
King Julien: “Spider-Ham, would you happen to know how this fellow died?”
Spider-Ham: “I don’t have an exact idea, but I’d say he either fell out of the tree and died that way, or… something attacked him.”
Spider-Ham immediately feels a chill up his spine, and he freezes.
Donkey: “Hey, man, you good? You look like you just became a statue-”
A rocket flies straight towards Spider-Ham, but at the last second he shoots webs at it to send it flying into a nearby tree.
Spider-Ham: “Not today, evil-doer! Now, show yourself!”
Plankton: “Gladly!”
Plankton and Amelia float up from the trees, surprising all of RCoKJ… except Carl, of course.
Plankton: “Meet the pinnacle of inventions!”
Amelia: “...I pretty much agreed to this, by the way…”
King Julien: “Woah! Is that some sort of alien technology?”
Plankton: “With your jungle getup I’m not surprised you’d think that. Whatever! Time to attack!”
Plankton has Amelia shoot multiple rockets at the team. For the most part, they dodge, but Donkey is hit head-on by one and flung into a tree.
Spider-Ham: “Oh, geez, Donkey, you good?”
Donkey gets up, dazed.
Donkey: “My head’s spinning but I’m fine-”
Donkey gets struck by another rocket, exploding him completely. Spider-Ham freezes.
Spider-Ham: “That is unnecessarily brutal!”
Plankton: “Hey, it’s not my fault the only rockets I could get were highly fatal!”
Carl: “Looks perfectly fine to me, I’d say it’s not even as brutal as it should be!-”
Carl gets exploded by a rocket.
King Julien: “Wait… rockets…”
A lightbulb appears over King Julien’s head as he gains an idea. The lightbulb then falls on his head and shatters on the floor.
King Julien: “That’s a shame. Anyways, Rocket! I have an idea!”
Rocket just barely dodges a shot.
Rocket: “Yeah?”
King Julien: “Use your own rockets!”
Rocket: “Ooo, good thinking!”
Rocket takes out his rocket launcher and shoots it. Plankton and Amelia do the BFDI dodging pattern, before Plankton has Amelia change her non-rocket hand to a sword and then slice at Rocket, disarming him.
Rocket: “No!”
Amelia then slashes at Rocket, sending him flying away into the ocean.
Spider-Ham: “Oh, you’re not getting away with this!”
Plankton: “Just you watch!”
Amelia’s hand changes into a spatula and flips Spider-Ham into the sky before his Spidey Sense can react. The hand then turns into a bat and sends him away.
King Julien: “Oh dear…”
Plankton: “Looks like it’s just you against us, Julien! Prepare to taste our fury!”
Amelia: “...His fury, not mine…”
Plankton: “Shush, it sounds cooler if I say it’s our combined fury.”
King Julien: “Watch me! I shall take you down like a-”
King Julien immediately gets blown up.
Plankton: “That… was anticlimactic.”
Amelia: “...He’s not really that strong…”
Plankton: “Eh, whatever, an easy win is an easy win. Let’s leave this junk.”
Plankton and Amelia fly away. Cut to IDIOT. Science Bear and Test Tube have just finished their invention…
Charlie the Unicorn: “...What is that supposed to be.”
It just looks like a jumbled mess of parts.
Science Bear: “It’s a ray gun that is able to move objects!”
Charles: “Sounds useful!”
Blue claps as Enderman nods.
Science Bear: “Now, Test Tube, you can have thi-”
Test Tube: “I really wouldn’t like to hold it no thanks!”
Science Bear blinks.
Science Bear: “Well then, I guess I’ll be the one using it. We should get a move on, we don’t want the other teams to be able to overpower us.”
The team gets moving. Albeit softened, there’s still a bit of tension in the team. As the others are distracted, Science Bear takes the opportunity to ask Test Tube a question.
Science Bear: “Test Tube… What was that about? That felt unusually out of character.”
Test Tube: “...”
Science Bear: “...Not something you wish to talk about? I understand. Just tell me if you need anything.”
Science Bear turns back to look forwards, and immediately jolts backwards upon seeing Tree-y right in front of him.
Charlie the Unicorn: “...It’s just Tree-y.”
Science Bear: “Oh.”
Science Bear gets up and straightens his coat.
Tree-y: “♪ i apologize didnt mean to scare you guys ♪”
Science Bear: “All good, don’t worry about it.”
Blue pushes himself to the front and asks Tree-y what he’s doing.
Tree-y: “♪ i was sent by my team to give a little thing ♪”
Charlie the Unicorn: “Lemme guess, it’s rigged.”
Charles: “Hey, come on, maybe it’s actually something good!”
Charlie the Unicorn: “As if.”
Enderman pushes the two backwards, then walks up to Tree-y. They ask what it is.
Tree-y: “♪ it is a simple box inside there is something… fun”
Tree-y: “...or thats what i was told, at least”
Charlie the Unicorn: “I don’t like the sound of that.”
Enderman rolls their eyes, then asks for the box. Said box somehow falls out of Tree-y’s leaves despite there being no indication it was there before.
Tree-y: “♪ now i must leave get it cause leaf ♪”
Tree-y skids away. Enderman scratches their head in confusion, before picking up the box.
Charles: “I wonder what’s inside?”
Test Tube: “Maybe it’s-”
Charlie the Unicorn: “Probably a bomb.”
Enderman opens the box, and inside is…
Confetti flying straight into their face. Blue silently laughs.
Science Bear: “Well, that wasn’t too bad!”
Test Tube: “I was expecting worse, honestly!…”
…
It’s acidic confetti. Enderman is melted and promptly killed. Everyone is left appalled, except for Charlie.
Charlie the Unicorn: “I fucking knew it.”
Charles: “...”
Charles: “Let’s… never talk about this again.”
IDIOT slowly steps away. Science Bear uses the ray gun to move the remains of Enderman away. The team then continues onward. Cut to the inside of a storage unit. Blocky, Nikoly, and Squid are hiding behind an outcropping at the back of the building. Blocky pulls out a video recorder and moves it up to his face.
Blocky: “Hey guys, Blocky here! For a prank, rig a chest with explosives to blow up anyone who tries to take weapons from it!”
Blocky turns it around to look at the main interior of the storage unit. After a short while, N, Pizza Steve, Ploque, and Wheatley enter via N kicking down the door dramatically.
N: “Boom! Anyone in here?”
Silence.
Pizza Steve: “Doesn’t seem like it. Let’s check for anything we can grab.”
Pizza Steve slides over to the corner and finds a definitely-not-rigged chest.
Pizza Steve: “Bingo!”
Wheatley rolls over.
Wheatley: “Oh, splendid! I wonder what’s inside?”
Pizza Steve: “That, we just need to see, my bro.”
Pizza Steve unlocks the chest, and as soon as he opens it the chest spontaneously combusts, completely disintegrating both him and Wheatley.
Ploque: “...”
N: “...”
Ploque: “What the fuck.”
N: “I’m- I’m sure that was just a freak accident… Jeez, that must’ve been painful.”
Over with BFDI, Blocky can’t hold in his laughter, causing Squid to look at him.
Blocky: “Okay, I’m sorry, that was just too funny-”
Squid: “SHH.”
But it’s too late, N and Ploque’s attention has been diverted to BFDI.
Nikoly: “Oh shitnoodles.”
Squid: “What the fuck does that even mea-”
Ploque interrupts.
Ploque: “WHAT THE FUCK WAS THAT?!”
N: “Ow, my audio processors! But, yeah, that was uncalled for!”
Blocky laughs and leaps down.
Blocky: “When you’re in a free for all, you gotta get creative! Pull a move that they’ll never forget!”
Squid: “Blocky what do you think you’re doing?!”
Blocky: “What, I’m just-”
A saw whizzes just by Blocky. Ploque stares at Blocky angrily. N blinks, then tries to act like the saw was definitely never thrown.
Blocky: “...Ooooh, you just messed up, gal.”
Blocky takes out another sick as hell minigun and opens fire. N moves Ploque out of the way and dodges the bullets before using a blade hand to disarm Blocky. Squid decides to get involved and shoots a beam of blocks at N, smacking him into the wall next to the door.
Squid: “I’m not playing games. You run or you die, and at this point that first option’s undoable.”
Squid shoots spikes at N, who slices them away as he regains his footing. However, Blocky unloads a whole cartridge at N immediately, who isn’t able to dodge all the bullets and gets struck a few times. N and the two BFDIers begin to trade blows.
Ploque, meanwhile, is on the sidelines, sitting on the floor and unable to get up or run in and help. …and Nikoly is casually eating popcorn next to her. Ploque turns to Nikoly confusedly.
Ploque: “Are you…”
Nikoly: “What? It’s entertaining.”
Nikoly stuffs a handful of popcorn into his mouth, then offers the bucket to Ploque.
Nikoly: “Want some?”
Ploque: “Wh- no!”
Nikoly: “You’re missing out, then!”
Nikoly continues eating popcorn. In the battle, N slashes at Blocky with claws and knocks him into the wall, but Squid crushes N with a pile of blocks. N just barely survives, however, and throws the block pile at Squid to send him flying to the ground.
Squid: “BLOCKY, CHANGE STRATEGY!”
Blocky pops up from his place at the wall like nothing happened.
Blocky: “Got it!”
Blocky turns to Ploque, a mischievous grin on his face. N and Ploque immediately realize what’s going to happen, but it’s too late as Blocky fires his minigun. Ploque is sent skidding across the floor, hitting her head on the wall.
Nikoly: “Oooh… brutal.”
Nikoly loudly chews on his popcorn. N locks eyes with Blocky, visibly angry. Blocky has a shit-eating grin.
Blocky: “What are you gonna do about it?-”
A rocket launcher is pointed straight at Blocky’s head.
Blocky: “...Well then-”
Blocky is shot THROUGH the wall and to the outside. Squid emerges from the pile of blocks just in time to not be hit by him.
Nikoly: “Got damn.”
Nikoly begins to eat more popcorn, but it’s shoved out of his hand by one of Squid’s spikes, as Squid gets up to look at N.
Squid: “You’ve really fucked up now.”
N stares right back at Squid, squinting his eyes angrily. He then charges at Squid, who moves out of the way. Nikoly pulls out a scythe and smacks N into a wall, but N gets up immediately and uses a sword to deflect Espacoins that Nikoly begins to throw. N then shoots rockets, which Nikoly hits away, as Squid uses the opportunity to use a spike to cut N’s head off.
Squid: “There. That’s over with.”
But, as one probably expected, N’s head grew back.
Squid: “...You have to be kidding me.”
Nikoly: “Round 2, let’s get his ass again!”
Nikoly juggles a handful of Espacoins and then rolls them into N’s face, but N flies straight at Nikoly and pins him to the ground with claw hands. Squid, however, shoots N away with laser beams. N regains his footing quickly and turns his hand into a rocket launcher again, firing at Squid. Squid dodges successfully, before creating what is essentially a crusher out of blocks and spikes. It appears right above N.
Squid: “Time for this pitiful fight to end.”
Before he can react, the crusher squashes N into nothing more than scrap metal. Squid turns to Nikoly.
Squid: “Make sure he can’t regenerate. I’ll deal with the other one.”
Nikoly holds his hand to his head in a saluting pose.
Nikoly: “Yes, sir!”
Squid: “Don’t call me that.”
Using a scythe, Nikoly bats N’s remains far away into the ocean. Meanwhile, Squid turns to Ploque, who is passed out on the floor. With a quick laser shot, she’s put out of her misery.
Nikoly: “Woo! That was exhilarating!”
Squid: “Yes, but we did lose Blocky. 4 for 1 isn’t too bad of a ratio, however-”
Blocky pops in from the hole in the wall he made.
Blocky: “Hey, I’m back!”
Squid and Nikoly glance at him confusedly.
Blocky: “...what?”
Squid: “You got shot by a rocket and flung multiple miles away, HOW did you survive?!”
Blocky shrugs.
Blocky: “Dunno. My head feels funny, though.”
Nikoly: “I wonder why…”
Nikoly looks at Blocky’s forehead, which is just. Gone.
Blocky: “So, lemme guess, those guys got taken out?”
Nikoly: “Yep!”
Squid: “Irritating, they were. At least we didn’t end up wasting resources or players.”
Awkward silence ensues!...
Nikoly: “...so, uh, what now?”
Squid: “I don’t know.”
Blocky: “Same here!”
Nikoly: “Well, goshdarnit. How about… we… uhhh… mm…”
Nikoly mentally bluescreens, hitting the floor with a loud CLANG.
Blocky: “Oh, I got it, how about we head out to find some more people to beat up?”
Squid: “Tree-y will be expecting us to still be here, however.”
Blocky: “Psh, it’ll be fine! He can hold his own.”
Flashbacks to the multiple times where Tree-y has, in fact, not held his own.
Squid: “...”
Blocky: “...”
Blocky: “...well, maybe he can learn to hold his own?”
Squid: “As if.”
Regardless, Blocky and Squid head out, Blocky dragging Nikoly along. Cut back to IDIOT, walking once again. Tensions are still high, especially after Enderman’s sudden melting.
Charles: “...so, uh… nice weather today, isn’t it?”
Silence. Nobody bothers to speak up. Charles sweats, thinking he screwed up by saying something. And, unfortunately, there is no Enderman or Warrior to push those feelings down. Just great .
The awkward silence continues for a short bit, but is replaced by the silence of… IDIOT looking at NNIT not too far ahead of them, coming in their direction.
Charlie the Unicorn: “Oh, great.”
Science Bear: “I’m sure it won’t be too bad.”
Despite saying this, Science Bear is gripping the ray gun tightly. On the other side of things, NNIT is too caught up in their planning to notice IDIOT.
Artificer: “No, that would take up too much time, and too many materials.”
Plasma Ball: “It’s better than letting people ambush us easily! Especially me, y’know, since I’m fragile !”
The Knight gives a monotonous expression to Artificer, seemingly saying that they agree with Plasma Ball.
Plasma Ball: “Look, even they agree with me!”
The Knight deadpans at Plasma Ball, before rolling their eyes.
Artificer: “Ugh… Torch God, what do you think?”
Torch God writes ‘IT WOULDNT HURT TO DO IT’
‘I MEAN’
‘I COULDNT USE IT’
‘I WOULD JUST BURN IT DOWN’
‘BUT IT SEEMS LIKE’
‘A GOOD IDEA’
Artificer groans.
Artificer: “You have to be kidding me. Fine, we’ll do it.”
The team continues talking, but Torch God finally notices IDIOT up ahead, who’ve apparently frozen in fear for the most part. Torch God stops in their tracks and tries catching NNIT’s attention, to no avail. Eventually, Torch God spews a stream of fireballs up into the air, not only bringing the focus of Artificer, the Knight, and Plasma Ball to them, but also concerning IDIOT.
Plasma Ball: “What the hell was that?!”
Torch God writes ‘THERES A TEAM UP AHEAD’
‘WE SHOULD HEAD OVER TO THEM’
Artificer: “Seriously, a second fight? What are you thinking?”
Torch God makes a ._. face, before writing ‘I WAS THINKING OF’
‘TEAMING UP W/ THEM’
‘TEMPORARILY’
‘ITS IDIOT, THEY’RE SORTA STRONG’
‘AND ITS NOT BFDI’
The Knight seems to agree with Torch God.
Artificer: “...I guess it wouldn’t hurt.”
Plasma Ball: “Whatever, as long as I’m not prone to dying, I’m in.”
NNIT approaches IDIOT. IDIOT is COMPLETELY convinced NNIT is going to try and kill them. NNIT is confused about the tension IDIOT has. Artificer and Torch God look at each other. Torch God turns into a ;-; face.
Artificer: “...So-”
Science Bear points the ray gun right at Artificer’s face.
Science Bear: “Don’t try to hurt us, I won’t hesitate to fire.”
…It sounded a lot cooler in Science Bear’s head. Regardless, Artificer stares at him confusedly.
Artificer: “...That wasn-”
Blue pulls out a bow and aims it at Artificer. Artificer looks to Torch God again. Torch God imitates sweating. Plasma Ball backs up, but is dragged by the Knight, who walks right up to Science Bear and stares at him. The Knight then draws their nail.
Plasma Ball: “Wh- what the hell are you doing?!”
The Knight looks to Plasma Ball with a blank expression, before turning back to Science Bear. They point their nail at Science Bear, trying to get him to lower his weapon. However, Science Bear - alongside the rest of IDIOT, and even Artificer and Torch God - completely misunderstand what the Knight is doing, causing him to use the ray gun to grab the Knight. The Knight makes a baffled expression as Science Bear throws them away into the ocean.
Plasma Ball: “Wh- gh- that wasn’t what they were trying to do!”
Yep, turns out Plasma Ball is the only one that actually understood what was happening.
Test Tube: “I mean, they did just draw a weapon and point it straight at someone’s face, it seemed like they were trying to harm us!”
Plasma Ball groans, as Artificer looks to Torch God with a ‘I’m going to fucking kill them’ look. Torch God makes a D: face, and tries to stop Artificer, but it’s too late. She throws a spear into the crowd, blowing up Charles and Charlie and shattering Test Tube slightly, causing a bunch of her inner liquid to spill out onto the floor. Blue and Science Bear blink, then turn to Artificer. Torch God just writes ‘...’
Artificer: “You mess with us, you get messed with. We weren’t even going to attack you, but you guys fucked it up.”
Artificer vs Blue and Science Bear! It goes horribly. Science Bear uses the ray gun to fling Artificer away, and Blue shoots his bow at her to make sure she doesn’t survive. Torch God makes a -._.- face, as Plasma Ball looks absolutely defeated.
But wait, things aren’t over for NNIT! Plankton and Amelia descend from the sky!... Everyone else is equally confused.
Plasma Ball: “What the hell is that?!”
Plankton: “My plan, of course! And I figured, since you guys were in trouble, I’d help out!”
Amelia: “...I consented to this.”
Science Bear: “Wait, Amelia?”
Amelia realizes that it’s Blue, Science Bear, and Test Tube she has to go against.
Amelia: “Do we-do we… really have to fight them?”
Plankton: “Look, it’s a battle royale, team alliances don’t matter!”
Amelia: “How’d you even…-”
Plankton: “Fight now, ask later. Time to taste defeat, IDIOTs!”
Amelia’s hand turns into a laser gun, shooting lasers at the three remaining IDIOT members. Blue and Science Bear successfully dodge, but Test Tube is not so lucky, getting shattered. Blue visibly gets angry, and pulls out a sword. Blue charges, but Amelia flies upwards, so Blue just stumbles and crashes into Torch God, catching on fire. Torch God scoots away as Blue quickly places water under himself to stop the fire.
Plankton: “Nice try, loser!-”
Science Bear shoots the ray gun at Plankton and Amelia.
Science Bear: “Sorry I have to do this, Amelia, but it’s for the greater good.”
Science Bear tries flinging away the two… but nothing happens.
Science Bear: “I- huh? It… didn’t work?”
Plankton: “You fool! This metal is immune to raygun rays!”
Amelia: “...He prepared for basically anything…”
Science Bear hummed.
Science Bear: “Well, we’re not winning then. Sorry, Blue.”
Science Bear tries to run off, but Plankton has Amelia just blow him up. Blue is absolutely SEETHING, considering that the two people he considers the closest to him in this competition just got murdered by a power trip-ridden Plankton, who - in purely Blue’s eyes - is using Amelia, one of his allies, as a pawn for destruction and domination of the contest.
Blue pulls out his sword, and points it in Plankton's direction. Plankton smirks.
Plankton: “Bring it on!”
Amelia: “...Please don’t-”
Too late! Blue uses a fishing rod to get up onto Amelia, but Plankton has her kick him off. Amelia then fires rockets at Blue, who slices them in half with his sword. Blue then has a sudden idea, and chugs a couple potions of jump boost. He then leaps upwards an insane amount, and begins to descend upon Plankton and Amelia, catching on fire in the process by the sheer speed he’s falling…
…But then he realizes.
He… isn’t going to survive the fall.
Blue starts freaking out as he gets closer and closer to making contact. Plankton and Amelia are just confused about his whereabouts, standing in the same spot mid-air.
Plankton: “Did he flee?! Come on!”
Plasma Ball calls out from the ground.
Plasma Ball: “Isn’t that a good thing?!”
Plankton: “Not when you’re trying to fight!”
Amelia: “...I think it’d be better if he did leave…”
Plankton: “Of course you would.”
…
Plankton: “Wait- I did NOT mean that in a negative way! I understand why, but this is a battle royale we are talking about!! There’s no time for that!!”
Plasma Ball: “And yet here you are, having an alliance.”
Plankton: “IT’S DIFFERENT! THEIR TEAMS ALLIED, BUT AT MOST THEY’RE JUST ACQUAINTANCES AND DON’T ACTUALLY HELP EACH OTHER! AT LEAST I’M TRYING!”
Torch God looks up and sees Blue, then writes ‘GUYS HE’S COMING BACK’. Of course, nobody notices until it’s too late…
…
But Plankton and Amelia managed to get out of the way naturally, just in time for Blue to fall behind them and hit the ground, cracking every bone in his stickman body.
Plankton: “...”
Amelia: “...”
Plasma Ball: “...”
Torch God writes ‘...’
…
Plankton: “Finally, that’s over with!”
Plankton and Amelia drop to the ground. Plankton hops out of his control area to look at Blue.
Plankton: “Yep, he’s dead as a doorknob.”
Plasma Ball: “Now we can leave!”
Torch God writes ‘LOOKS LIKE THE OLD PLAN’
‘IS A COMPLETE BUST’.
Plankton: “It probably sucked anyways.”
Plankton crawls back into his control center.
Plankton: “Now, onwards we go to claim victory! There shouldn’t be that many people left.”
Plasma Ball: “Oh, so now you’re including us?”
Plankton: “Look, the circumstances were that I wanted to get this done with fast, and I know some of you people would’ve probably taken the shot in an instance and ruined it!”
Torch God writes ‘WELL YEAH AMELIA’
‘IS AN EASY TARGET’
‘WHAT DO YOU EXPECT’.
Amelia: “Harsh…”
Amelia: “...But it’s true, I guess…”
Plankton: “Whatever, enough chit-chat. Get your butts on here!”
Plasma Ball hops onto the dome covering the control center. Torch God makes a :| face.
Plankton: “...Right, you physically can’t. Just follow by foot, then.”
Amelia flies off, as Torch God follows from the ground… Cut to BFDI. Blocky, Nikoly, and Squid have settled down in an open area, and Tree-y has met back up with them, completely unaware of what he did to Enderman.
Tree-y: “♪ so what is next on the list ♪”
Tree-y: “♪ of things to do to get through ♪”
Squid: “Well, there’s not much to do but wait for an opponent. There can’t be that many people left…”
As if on cue, an announcement plays throughout the island.
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “There’s only 8 contestants left in the game! To get things done faster, I’ll bring all surviving contestants into one area!”
The announcement shuts off.
Squid: “...Well then. Looks like I was right.”
Nikoly: “Oh shoot, gotta prepare!”
Nikoly does not do any preparations at all.
Blocky: “So, what’s the plan now?”
Squid: “Simple: We eradicate whoever our enemies are. They couldn’t be that bad.”
…Cut to the remaining 8 teleporting into an abandoned town.
Squid: “Of course it had to be them …”
Squid glares at Plankton, Plasma Ball, and Torch God… then notices Amelia.
Squid: “Wh- what the hell is that?!”
Plankton: “My greatest invention yet!”
Amelia: “I agreed to this…”
Blocky: “Whatever! We’re going to take you down, no matter what!”
Nikoly: “You sound like an anime character right now.”
Blocky: “Why do you know what that sounds like?”
Nikoly: “We do not talk about my hobbies.”
Squid ignores Blocky and Nikoly and gets the first hit in, obliterating Plasma Ball with a single laser shot. Torch God makes a O_O face.
Plankton: “Alright, let’s get this show on the road!”
Squid summons laser shots to hit Amelia and Plankton, but they do nothing.
Plankton: “Laser-proof metal, loser!”
Amelia’s arm turns into a rocket launcher, shooting a horde of rockets at BFDI. Tree-y gets blown up, as the other three survive.
Squid: “Not this shit again.”
Nikoly: “We’ve dealt with enough rockets, come on!”
Meanwhile, Torch God scoots over to Blocky and jumpscares him by putting one of their torches under him, catching him on fire.
Blocky: “GAH! HOT!”
Blocky runs around wildly, mindlessly shooting his sick as hell minigun. A lot of Torch God’s torches are struck and decimated by this, but thankfully for them, Blocky ends up succumbing to the flames.
Nikoly: “Man down! Man down!”
Nikoly rushes over to Blocky and shakes him.
Nikoly: “Wake up, Blocky! Or else I will be forced to take…”
Nikoly: “Extensive. Measures.”
Torch God raises a metaphorical eyebrow.
‘YOU’VE BEEN WATCHING’
‘TOO MUCH ANIME’.
Nikoly: “...”
Nikoly sulks.
Nikoly: “Yeah…”
Both are caught off-guard by a sudden rocket, which Nikoly just happens to dodge. Torch God got a bit more damaged. They write ‘OH COME THE’
‘FUCK ON’
In the battle between Squid and the duo of Amelia and Plankton, Squid has gained a bit of an upper hand, having been able to chip away at some of the robotic suit covering Amelia’s body. However, Plankton orders a full-on barrage, which manages to weaken Squid severely.
Plankton: “Any last words?”
Squid: “Gh… I’m not… going to die to YOU… of all people…”
Plankton: “Well, sucks to be you, then!”
Just as Amelia is about to shoot Squid and finish him off, he gets a sudden idea…
There’s one part of Amelia’s body not protected by metal or the dome.
The area around her mouth.
Squid suddenly summons a spike that stabs into the spot, sending Amelia stumbling backwards as she’s damaged and partially shattered. The protective dome opens, leaving Plankton vulnerable, and Amelia even more so.
Plankton: “Wh- how?!”
Squid: “You misunderestimate me, Plankton. I am not some sort of pushover you can bend to your will. I am a force to be reckoned with.”
Squid glares menacingly, summoning an entire legion of spikes, blocks, and lasers, all pointing at Amelia and Plankton.
Squid: “Only the strongest survive. And you are nothing more than a mite.”
Squid’s massive armament of obstacles pierces through the two, not only killing them, but reducing them to absolutely nothing.
Squid: “...And now that ordeal’s done. Finally, time to res-”
Squid realizes that Torch God’s still alive. And currently talking to Nikoly.
Squid: “WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU DOING, NIKOLY?!”
Nikoly: “T!”
Nikoly is jumpscared by Squid shouting at him, only saying one letter instead of what he was trying to say.
Nikoly: “...”
Torch God writes ‘APPLAUSE.’
Nikoly: “Sh.”
Silence.
Then Torch God realizes they’re the only one alive not on BFDI.
‘OH SHIT’
Nikoly: “What?-”
Nikoly notices that Squid isn’t fighting anymore, which he apparently didn’t realize before.
Nikoly: “Ohhhhhh, I see.”
More silence.
Then Squid crushes Torch God with blocks, killing them.
Squid: “Why didn’t you do anything?!”
Nikoly: “I may or may not have forgotten that we were supposed to be fighting?”
Squid groans.
Squid: “Whatever. We won.”
Koe teleports in.
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “Congrats, you two! You did indeed win, which is definitely a step up from your loss last episode!-”
Nikoly: “GAH!”
Nikoly got jumpscared again, this time by Koe.
Squid: “...Stop.”
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “...Y’know what, uh, gonna ignore that and…”
Koe snaps, teleporting himself, Nikoly, and Squid back to the main landscape, alongside the revival of all the dead contestants.
…and Narrator came back too.
You’re a pain in the arse, you know that?
Yeah. Anyways, ignoring him…
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “Congrats, BFDI, for winning!”
Blocky: “Let’s gooooo!”
Blocky and Tree-y celebrate. Red begins to creep away, but Squid glares at him, causing Red to gulp and stay in place.
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “Now, you five need to decide which team you’re going to put up for elimination!”
Squid: “So. We know exactly who we’re choosing.”
Blocky and Nikoly nod. Tree-y looks confused.
Tree-y: “♪ i dont understand what is the demand ♪”
Red scoots over to Tree-y.
Red: “You see, uh… they really don’t like… Not Naming It That? Y’know, the team, with Artificer and Torch God and the others…”
Tree-y: “♪ i think i see but whats with the hate spree ♪”
Tree-y: “...i couldnt think of a good word for that”
Red: “They established a rivalry back in the third challenge or so. I’ve never been a part of it… I just… don’t like making enemies, especially not when they can easily beat you up.”
Red: “But, of course, we’re outnumbered. 3 to 2. Whatever we say doesn’t matter. None of it does…”
Tree-y looks over to Red.
Tree-y: “...”
Tree-y: “♪ are you… okay? please do say ♪”
Red: “...”
Red: “I’m fine. It’s nothing. Let’s just deal with this, and then… talk again later.”
Tree-y looks unsure, but goes along with it anyways. Koe slides back over.
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “So, I hear that Not Naming It That is your target?”
Blocky: “Hell yeah!”
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “Well, it’s settled, then!”
Artificer: “You have to be kidding me.”
Nacho shrugs.
Nacho: “Whatever.”
Plasma Ball: “You didn’t even do anything!!!”
VOTING LINK: [ENDED ]
Rocket and Spider-Ham roam through the halls.
Spider-Ham: “...So… where do you think she would be?”
Rocket: “Maybe in her room? She used to be in there all the time when she was on our team, so it’s likely…”
Spider-Ham: “Well, it wouldn’t hurt to check!”
Rocket and Spider-Ham enter the hallway of CF’s rooms.
Rocket: “...I don’t know where her room is.”
Spider-Ham: “It should have her name on it!”
Rocket: “But there’s only 8 rooms, and this team had 8 people before!”
Spider-Ham: “Koe probably had her use Golurk’s room!”
Turns out, yes, he did.
Spider-Ham: “Told you.”
Rocket makes a ‘hmph’ noise, before knocking on the door.
Rocket: “Ploque?”
No response.
Rocket: “...Maybe she’s asleep?”
Spider-Ham: “Could be. But let’s wait a bit longer, just in case!”
…
Still no response.
Rocket: “Think I should go in there?”
Spider-Ham: “Probably not a good idea, and she might just be sleeping!”
Rocket: “...I guess we can wait until tomorrow morning then. Before the meeting.”
Spider-Ham: “Yeah, that works!”
Rocket and Spider-Ham walk away. Inside her room, Ploque is lying on her bed, sketching in, well, a sketchbook. She… intentionally ignored the knocking. She wasn’t in the mood to talk to her former teammates right now. And she was busy, anyway.
In her sketchbook was a ton of random doodles. She’s actually a pretty good artist! She flips to the next page. An empty one. She draws a sketch of everyone on CF, with near-perfect accuracy. She then has a thought…
She erases a small bit. One of her arms, and one of N’s.
Then she draws them together. One hand in another. Ploque smiles to herself.
Ploque: “...Maybe one day.”

shameless self-promotion time! remember the yellow face ad in the elimination? here's the link to the server:

Chapter 12: Episode 12 - Impostor Syndrome
Notes:
HOOO BOY its been a while. so procrastination hit me not like a truck but like a freight train going faster than the speed of light. but i got motivated recently and bada bing bada boom, episode 12's finally here!
now, a maybe-important-maybe-not note before you go read the episode - in the pre-elimination scenes there are multiple mentions of drinking and some slightly suggestive references (really using that teen rating huh) so if you're uncomfortable with either of those i suggest you skip forward. that aside, hope you enjoy the episode!
(See the end of the chapter for more notes.)
Chapter Text
The episode starts with Kris and Flowey in the gaming room. Kris is playing Fortnite - on an XBOX 360, somehow - while Flowey watches, drinking legally-distinct soda. Not sure why it has to be legally-distinct when Koe’s the only original thing here, but… just roll with it, man.
Flowey: “Alright, Kris, storm’s rolling in, you really gotta stop looting this place-”
Someone snipes Kris in-game, killing them and placing them #54. They stare disappointedly at the screen.
Flowey: “...Alright, here’s what we’re going to do next. We’re going to send this guy a message, and then we’re gonna type in ‘kys’-”
One of the ceiling tiles crashes to the ground as Wheatley drops from the hole where it once stood, dangling from a cord.
Wheatley: “Flowey we told you to stop sending people death threats!”
Flowey: “WHY THE FUCK WERE YOU IN THE CEILING?!”
Wheatley: “Uh… let’s… just say that last night we had a party and Pizza Steve accidentally put something other than fruit punch in the punch bowl?...”
Kris writes ‘...you got drunk???’
Wheatley: “Unfortunately enough, yes. But I dunno how I even got up here, gonna be honest, I just woke up in the ceiling while tangled in that cord!”
Flowey: “First of all, how the hell did you guys mix that up? Wine has a distinct flavor, y’know! Not- not that I would know, of course!”
Kris deadpans at Flowey.
Flowey: “I definitely do not know.”
Wheatley: “...Well, we all kinda figured that Pizza Steve just got a weird brand or something and we ignored it.”
Flowey: “Wow. Great.”
Silence.
Wheatley: “...Isn’t there going to be a second thing?”
Flowey: “Oh, right, yea- WHY DID YOU GUYS HAVE A PARTY AND NOT INVITE ME?!”
Kris writes ‘or me… not like i’d want to go to a drinking party though. or legally be able to. but still’
Wheatley: “Well, we did send N to go find you guys and ask if you wanted to join… but then he showed back up twenty minutes later and said he couldn’t find either of you.”
Flowey: “And what time was this?”
Wheatley: “About 9 pm.”
Kris writes ‘oh yeah we were busy then’.
Flowey: “Of course we had to be busy then. Joy.”
Wheatley: “What were you lads doing, anyways?”
Kris and Flowey turn to each other. Both make a zipping motion over their mouths.
Wheatley: “I’m going to take that as something I don’t want to know.”
Silence again.
Wheatley: “...Hey, could you guys let me down or something?”
Kris chucks their sword at the cord, chopping it and causing Wheatley to slam right into the carpet. He rolls himself upright.
Wheatley: “Phew, I didn’t get cracked! Well, I’ll be off-”
Flowey: “Not yet, you got a lot of explaining to do about this party! I wanna hear all the details.”
Kris writes ‘since when did you become interested in that’.
Flowey: “Well, I wasn’t there, and I’m dying to know if anything interesting happened! Can’t a guy do that?!”
Kris rolls their eyes.
Wheatley: “Well… I guess I can!”
Flowey: “Sweet!”
Kris picks up Wheatley and puts him on the sofa. They then pick up the controller and get back to playing Fortnite.
Wheatley: “Alright, so…”
Sorry, but no juicy gossip for you readers. Cut to Blue cooking pancakes in his room. On the bed in his room, Pizza Steve is laying face-down. As soon as Blue finishes cooking, Pizza Steve wakes up and sits upright, rubbing at his eyes.
Pizza Steve: “Wow, I feel horrible…”
Pizza Steve then immediately realizes he is not in his room.
Pizza Steve: “...Where?-”
Blue walks over to Pizza Steve and places a plate of pancakes in front of him, confusing Pizza Steve. Blue then explains via arm motions what exactly’s going on - apparently, Pizza Steve appeared at Blue’s door at 5 in the morning, said some gibberish, and then passed out.
Pizza Steve: “Oh… Knew I should have double-checked that fruit punch…”
Blue raises a nonexistent eyebrow.
Pizza Steve: “Okay so, about half of my team had a party last night and… I completely screwed up and got alcohol instead of fruit punch. And I think we all got drunk.”
Blue nods in understanding, but before he can respond with anything the door is slammed open by an exhausted Red.
Red: “I’ve seen the worst thing I’ve ever laid my visor on jesus christ-”
Red notices Pizza Steve.
Red: “...Oh, hi.”
Pizza Steve weakly waves.
Pizza Steve: “Hey, bro…”
Red: “Why are you-”
Pizza Steve: “Got drunk and passed out at Blue’s door.”
Red: “Yikes.”
Blue interrupts Red and Pizza Steve’s exchange to ask about what this ‘worst thing’ is.
Red: “I… I don’t want to explain it, but… I think it’s related to Pizza Steve’s drunk thing.”
Pizza Steve: “Did it involve some of the peeps on my team? Not including Amelia, Flowey, or Kris?”
Red: “Yep.”
Pizza Steve: “That spells bad news, then.”
Blue spaces out for a moment while trying to understand, before realizing what exactly happened. And his reaction is… instant absorbed trauma from Red. Yep, that’s a thing now, I guess.
Pizza Steve: “Why do you look like you just had war flashbacks, bro?”
Red: “He knows what I saw now.”
Pizza Steve: “I’m… concerned.”
Red: “Do be.”
Pizza Steve: “Anyways, where’d you see… whatever that is?”
Red: “Last night I had bad insomnia, as per usual, and went to go get a midnight snack… Happened to glance over to where your team’s rooms are, and I was able to see through one of the doors… I completely lost my appetite after that and went straight to bed.”
Pizza Steve: “Well, now I’m both curious and afraid…”
Blue takes the opportunity to change the topic to Red’s insomnia being ‘per usual’.
Red: “Oh, yeah, after the last challenge I’ve… had trouble sleeping. Even tried sleeping in my room like I used to - that’s why I saw that - and I just… couldn’t sleep until 3 in the stinkin’ morning.”
Pizza Steve: “What happened to cause that, bro?”
Red: “It’s… personal. No offense, but I’d like to say it to Blue only. You don’t have to leave yet, though-”
Pizza Steve: “No, no, I should, I’ve overstayed my welcome here.”
Pizza Steve gets out of Blue’s bed, and picks up the plate of pancakes.
Pizza Steve: “Seeya later, dudes.”
Pizza Steve walks out. Blue and Red wave bye. Silence then ensues, before Blue realizes he needs to give the rest of the pancakes he cooked out.
Red: “Oh, yeah, go on ahead and do that- I’ll just wait here.”
Blue nods and rushes out, holding all the pancakes in his hands. Red sits himself down on the floor to wait.
Cut to BFDI - minus Red, of course - sitting in their hallway, as per usual. Squid seems to have just finished giving an explanation of the plan for the next challenge.
Squid: “Alright, with that, does anyone have any objections they wish to give? Say it quickly or you’ll lose your chance.”
Blocky and Tree-y both stay still, but Nikoly raises his hand.
Squid: “...Yes, Nikoly? Hopefully it’s not another shitty joke that’ll take another 5 years off my lifespan?”
Nikoly: “This time it’s not! Trust me!”
Squid: “Sure, sure, go ahead then and prove yourself right.”
Nikoly: “I was thinkin’... how exactly are we supposed to go about the whole, y’know, ‘Red isn’t part of our team anymore’ thing? Especially in this challenge, where working with him could be key or somethin’?”
Squid: “We’ll… figure something out.”
Blocky: “Wait, wait, but do we even have to worry? We don’t even need to use the plan, guys! If one of us mentions the plan, and we all give details on it or some junk like that, then we’ve got everything under control! It’d be a process of elimination from there!”
Tree-y: “♪ i agree its quite simple it seems ♪”
Squid: “...”
Squid: “Well, there goes 4 hours, straight into the garbage bin.”
Nikoly: “I mean, it’s not all bad, it’ll still help!... Probably. I mean, might’ve jinxed it there, but there’s at least a 74.236246246% chance it still works.”
Blocky: “Oddly specific percentage there.”
Nikoly: “Yeah I just plucked a random string of numbers.”
Squid: “You two manage to tire me even despite your usefulness… Wow.”
Blocky: “Can’t help my natural charming aura!”
Nikoly: “I’m going to pretend to agree with him.”
Tree-y: “♪ you just said that aloud wow ♪“
Nikoly: “...Woop-sies.”
Squid: “I- whatever, I’m ending this meeting now.”
Squid floats off.
Blocky: “You guys get the impression he’s been a bit more cold to us lately, or?...”
Nikoly: “Eh, he’ll snap out of it eventually! Probably! Maybe! Possibly!”
The screen pans upwards a little bit to show a few torches of Torch God hiding at the top of the ceiling, having overheard BFDI’s planning. They slink away, unnoticed.
Cut to the cafeteria. RCoKJ is, as per usual, having a meeting, but a few tables away there’s also Science Bear, who’s eating some of the pancakes Blue made here. The aforementioned team eventually takes notice of Science Bear’s presence.
Spider-Ham: “Oh, that’s gotta be the first time someone’s been here while we’re doing a meeting!”
Rocket: “Isn’t breakfast time already over?”
King Julien: “For our nation, yes, but perhaps for Science Bear it’s late!”
Donkey: “Still doesn’t explain what he’s doing here today of all days, though!”
Carl: “Perhaps-”
Rocket: “Nnnnnnnope I don’t want to hear any of your scary theories no thanks!”
Carl: “Quite rude, honestly. What have I ever done to you?”
Rocket: “Traumatize me…”
Carl: “Y’know what, fair.”
Carl casually sips his typical definitely-not-human-blood-it’s-just-funny-tasting-juice.
Spider-Ham: “Wait, why are we talking about Science Bear again? Especially, y’know, not that far away from him? If we have any questions we can just go up to him…”
Donkey: “Ain’t that kinda rude, though?”
Spider-Ham: “To be fair, so is talking about him behind his back.”
Donkey: “Tooth-chay.”
Spider-Ham: “That’s not how you- eh, whatever.”
Science Bear walks past the table while holding an empty plate. Seems like he finished the pancakes offscreen.
Science Bear: “I could hear your conversation-”
Spider-Ham whispers ‘knew it’.
Science Bear: “-And to answer your question about my presence in the cafeteria, I’ve simply moved myself here to clear my mind.”
King Julien: “Well, if I’m assuming things right, you’re free to tell us whatever’s up! Even if we aren’t close, we could give our two cents on whatever may ail you.”
Carl: “Me especially.”
Rocket gives a look of ‘don’t trust whatever he says’ to Science Bear.
Science Bear: “I appreciate the concern, but I unfortunately have to say that it’s private manners, and I only feel comfortable discussing it with a few certain individuals.”
King Julien: “Understandable!”
Science Bear: “I’ll be taking my leave now. See you five later.”
Science Bear leaves. The meeting that RCoKJ temporarily adjourned continues…
Cut to Charlie, Charles, and Enderman, sitting in the IDIOT hallway and eating the pancakes that Blue had made earlier.
Charlie the Unicorn: “With all the bullcrap that happens around here, I’m glad there’s at least this I can look forward to.”
Charles: “Doesn’t sound like you enjoy this competition very much…”
Charlie the Unicorn: “Can you really blame me? Look around and tell me this place isn’t a hellhole. …But, I guess for what it’s worth, at least I don’t get annoyed by idiots constantly… what I deal with here isn’t much better, though.”
Charles: “Well, I guess you’re not totally wrong! There is… that whole Lamb situation, for example.”
Charlie the Unicorn: “I’m just hoping nobody else snaps like that. Getting murdered by that good-for-nothing sheep is one time too many deaths for me. Hell, I’m not used to dying so often at all, how does everyone else cope with it?!”
Enderman shrugs.
Charles: “I don’t know why, but I just don’t feel anything when I do?...”
Charlie the Unicorn: “Am I really the odd one out here?”
Charles: “I guess…”
Enderman nods solemnly. They then take the final bite of their pancakes, and disappear momentarily, then return without the plate or fork they used for said pancakes. Silence ensues for a moment, before suddenly Enderman appears to pose a question. Charlie raises an eyebrow, unable to understand them.
Charles: “I think Enderman asked where Science Bear and Test Tube are.”
Charlie the Unicorn: “How did you- y’know what, whatever. Science Bear screwed off somewhere else to eat, and Test Tube’s probably in her room. She’s been cooped up in there pretty much every single second of the day. I’m pretty sure she might have a negative opinion of me due to my outburst last challenge, so I haven’t bothered to go and check in on her.”
Charles: “Hm… me or Enderman could do that, then?”
Enderman nods no.
Charlie the Unicorn: “Yeah, I’ve already had it drilled into my head by Science Bear that there’s no use in trying to interfere with the problems she has. Plus, I’m not typically the one who bothers with that stuff, anyways.”
Charles: “I see…”
Cut to N’s room. He seems to be charging in his bed, but it’s more of a ‘passed out’ kind than a ‘sleeping’ kind. Eventually, he boots up, and slowly gets up, holding his hand up to his head.
N: “Geh… I feel kinda dizzy…”
N tries to get out of his bed, but then gets a big shock when he looks to his right and sees that for some reason Ploque is in his bed. He manages to not scream bloody murder by covering his mouth.
N: “...???”
N then turns to look to the floor. …Apparently, Stanley is completely unconscious there. That’s probably more confusing than Ploque being in the room.
N: “I… what in Robo-Jesus’s name happened last night?!”
Clearly confused, N scoots out of his bed. He then crouches down to look at Ploque, and taps her lightly.
N: “Ploquester… Wake up, you’re kinda in my bed…”
Ploque groggily wakes up… and then immediately crashes straight into the back wall due to the surprise of N being so close to her face.
Ploque: “Ow…”
N: “Oh, jeez, are you okay?”
Ploque: “Yeah, it doesn’t hurt that much… I was just surprised…”
Ploque gets herself out of N’s bed.
Ploque: “Why am I in here, anyways?”
Ploque looks to the floor and notices Stanley.
Ploque: “...Same goes for him.”
N: “Honestly, I dunno… Last night’s a bit of a blur.”
Ploque: “Knew that fruit punch was a bit fishy… Where’d that even come from, anyways?”
N: “Beats me!”
Silence.
Ploque: “Now what do we do about Stanley lying on your floor unconscious?”
N: “I have no idea!”
Ploque: “Hm…”
Ploque lightly kicks Stanley, but it doesn’t seem to work.
Ploque: “Looks like he’s out cold.”
Well, that isn’t much of a surprise, is it? He did end up drinking half the punch bowl, even though I specifically advised him not to. Seriously, he can be such a pain in the bum at the weirdest times…
N: “That’s a pretty funny story, mysterious voice in the sky.”
Silence.
N: “THERE’S A MYSTERIOUS VOICE IN THE SKY?!”
Ploque: “Who the hell?!”
Wait, wait, hold the phone, since when could you two hear me?!
Oh boy, guess I should’ve mentioned at some point that apparently drinking alcohol makes people able to hear you. Permanently, too. No, I didn’t make this a thing purely for plot convenience.
…wow.
Look, I thought it’d be cool, don’t blame me.
Whatever. Hey, N, you know the narrator Stanley has? That’s me. Apparently you and Ploque can hear me now. The reason why is frankly stupid, though.
Ploque: “...I don’t follow.”
I cannot blame you.
This commotion is enough to wake up Stanley.
N: “Oh, welcome back to the land of the awake, Stanley!”
Ploque: “Yep, hi.”
Great, you’re awake. Oh, and Stanley, just so you kno-
Ploque: “We can hear your narrator friend or whatever now.”
Hey, I was just about to say that!
Ploque: “...Whoops.”
…It’s fine, don’t sweat it. At least you’re not like the other one…
Hey, fuck you too, Narrator.
N: “Other one?”
Don’t worry about it. …Stanley, you’re asking why you’re here?
Ploque: “I have the exact same question.”
N: “Me three!”
Ploque: “N, this is your room…”
Well, I know why, but… it’s probably something I shouldn’t talk about, for lack of better words.
Sorry not sorry.
Ploque: “That’s vague, but works well enough for me, I guess…”
Alright, final beginning scene, we’ve dealt with enough already. Cut to a training room. Plankton seems to be coaching Amelia in fighting, using a punching bag which was very clearly patched from literal SCRAPS.
Plankton: “Put all your strength into your punches! Don’t let a single piece of it go unused! If you manage to do that, you could wipe out someone as strong as those stupid BFDI members with a single punch!”
Amelia: “I’m trying… My best…”
Amelia’s clearly exhausted.
Plankton: “...You seem to be exerting a lot more energy than you need to.”
Amelia: “I’m not much of a fighter…”
Plankton: “That’s pretty clear as-is. But in this game, fighting is something you’re going to have to get used to. Especially when you’re made out of glass and could shatter at a moment’s notice! Being a glass cannon is much better than having no offense or defense!”
Amelia keeps hitting the punching bag, but there’s no visible effects.
Plankton: “Look, we’re not gonna get anywhere unless you put as much as you can into it! Channel your inner energy into it! Think of this as a life-or-death situation, and if you don’t succeed, you’re gone! Then you should be able to take this punching bag out easily!”
It seems Plankton’s words of encouragement(?) work, as Amelia manages to put her all into a punch…
And as she does, both her wick and her fist glow with a purple fire, as she manages to put enough force into her attack that the punching bag flies off its string. However, this clearly strains Amelia, as she collapses to the floor soon after, legs weak.
Amelia: “So… tired…”
Plankton: “...I may have overestimated your stamina. But hey, this is just the beginning! I have no doubt our alliance will prove to come out on top in this competition! Plus, whatever happened with the weird fire stuff… That’s definitely something that’ll be important in the future. For now, you should rest. We’ve trained enough for today, and I’m not cruel.”
Amelia: “...Yeah, I’ll go rest…”
Amelia manages to make her way over to a bench, and sits down on it, catching her breath. Plankton is about to join her when the door to the room is slammed open, almost slapping him into the metaphorical horizon.
Plankton: “Watch where you’re swinging doors, you almost killed me!”
Plankton then sees who’s in the doorway - Plasma Ball.
Plasma Ball: “Hey. Your ass is an entire half an hour late to the elimination.”
Plankton: “Has it really been that long?!”
Amelia looks across the room to a clock.
Amelia: “...It has…”
Plankton: “Seriously?!”
Plankton groans.
Plankton: “Alright, let’s get this over with.”
Plankton walks out of the room, and he and Plasma Ball head to the elimination area. Cut forward to the two walking into it, with the rest of NNIT already sitting, and Koe counting on his fingers.
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “Ah, there you two are! Took ya long enough!”
Artificer: “Where the hell were you, Plankton?”
Plankton: “I was undergoing training, isn’t that a valid enough reason?”
Artificer: “At least keep track of time, for rot’s sake…”
Plankton and Plasma Ball sit down.
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “Alright, enough of that! Since we have the whole team here again, it’s time to jump into the elimination! Y’all excited?”
Silence. Nacho claps a single time.
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “...Understood! We got 35 votes this time around. Starting with spin votes, the first to not get to spin is Plasma Ball - for the THIRD time in a row - with only 2 votes!”
Plasma Ball: “I must be cursed or something, this is just stupid.”
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “Oh, yeah, and you’re also joined by the Knight and Nacho, with 2 votes as well.”
Nacho: “Okay.”
The Knight makes an unamused expression.
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “For vote reasons, we first start with Plasma Ball’s ‘didnt know who to choose so i went with the object show char ofc, object show hyperfixation be so real
torch god be slayin tho
also your idea was damn good, plankton. should prolly have added protection for the mouth tho too, you saw what happened to poor melia :(
- Ember Nyxtical (EmberTheAlphaWolf)
i omor’.”
Plankton: “Yeah, the whole mouth thing was a complete fluke on my part. But, in my defense! I figured nobody would be able to get a hit in there!”
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “The second reason for Plasma Ball reads ‘She is very funny I hope she stays 🤮🤢🤕’.”
Plasma Ball: “What’s with the emojis? And how did you even read them?!”
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “Beats me! Anyways, onto reasons for the Knight, we first have… ‘Fuck that guy.’.”
The Knight makes a confused face.
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “Yeah, don’t ask me, I have no clue either. Second reason is ‘Artificer and knight are the most competent people on this team. I mean most of them help contribute to the team in some way. Torch god has his fire, arti has explosives and is just very mobile in general, knight is also very mobile and ( i assume) he still has some abilities in his arsenal, and plankton has his inventions. Of course this singles out plasma ball and nacho, but one of them at least ries to be helpful! Sorry a bit of a tangent there but the point is that artificer and knight are my two candidates, and as arti has sullied her reputation with me by swapping bowser with... what's his name again? Nevermind. Anyway, i that's why i chose knight. (sorry arti your both greatbut i had tochose someone.)
Night_Owl’.”
The Knight nods, accepting the vote reason.
Artificer: “I can see why my reputation would take a hit from that mess-up… however, my plan easily could have worked had the votes been different. I just underestimated how much people hated Bill. …Justifiably hating him, may I add.”
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “Finally, onto Nacho, we start with ‘sending my thoughts and prayers since you're probably gonna get out for dying immediately. so based

Nacho: “It’s whatever. Don’t care if I get out or not.”
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “Well, that’s a boring attitude. Anyways, the other reason is ‘Nacho, keep holding Plankton back please it’s funny - ADAGE’.”
Plankton: “Do the exact opposite!”
Plasma Ball: “I don’t think you can convince her not to.”
Nacho: “Yeah, you can’t.”
Plankton: “Shut your trap, you vexatious tortilla chip.”
Plasma Ball: “Are you trying to flex your vocabulary?...”
Plankton: “No, I’m not some stuck-up linguist!”
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “Alright, now that we’ve gone through the bottom three, let’s get to the next loser - Artificer, with 8 votes! Seems like her reign of spin-winner has come to an end.”
Artificer: “Disappointing, but I expected this to happen sooner or later.”
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “For her first vote reason, we have ‘I did, uh, far too much research on contestants I didn't recognize, but now I have even more respect for 'em. ~Tayoga~ (the squiggiles make it look cooler)’.”
Artificer: “Thank you. …Though I worry about what you mean by research.”
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “Next is ‘let artificer cook!! (if she gets 2nd life or something, i dunno bro)’. All I can say is that a ‘2nd life’ wouldn’t apply for the challenge. …Not like Artificer could get that anyways.”
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “Third reason-y reads ‘Closest I can get to voting for Looks To The Moon (Best Character)’.”
Artificer: “I doubt that living in the same universe means I’m the closest, but sure.”
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “Reason four for Artificer is ‘Artificer remains the team's best player. It's possible that Plankton might overtake her (I'll explain that further in the elimination reason), but for now Artificer stays on top.’.”
Artificer: “Honestly, I think it should be equally-good players on the team, but of course, we have…”
Artificer shifts her gaze to Nacho.
Nacho: “Don’t care + nobody asked + no bitches.”
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “The final vote reason for Artificer reads ‘arti my beloved!!! she silly :3
*magically makes a slugpup appear for no apparent reason*
ok bye until like next time idfk
-zapper’.”
A slugpup does indeed appear for no apparent reason. This visibly surprises the contestants, save for Nacho.
Plankton: “Did that reason just summon an entire living being?!”
Plasma Ball: “...I’m confused.”
Torch God writes ‘HOW’. The Knight tilts their head in confusion.
Artificer: “...I’m not going to bother questioning the method used to do that, but… now we have the duty to take care of this slugpup until we can find a way to send them back.”
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “Yeah, I’ll… let you guys handle that!”
The slugpup runs over to Plasma Ball and hops onto her to sit. Torch God writes ‘CONGRATS ON THE KID’
‘PLASMA BALL’. Plasma Ball actually chuckles a little at this.
Plasma Ball: “Yeah, right.”
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “...Sudden child birth aside, let’s… get to the final two! Plankton and Torch God!”
Plankton: “About time!”
Torch God writes ‘YAY’.
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “One of you two got 10 votes, and the other got 12 - which could’ve made this a tie if even one person had voted differently!”
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “Starting with Plankton’s votes, we have ‘literally the only person on this team that i know lol’.”
Plankton: “I must be standing out perfectly, then!”
Plasma Ball: “...Or maybe this person’s just unaware.”
Plankton: “Hey, I’m having a moment of feeling pride! Let me have it for once!”
Nacho: “I disagree.”
Nacho pushes Plankton’s chair over, making him fall to the floor and get trapped under it.
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “Next is… ‘benadryl.’.”
Plankton gets out from the fallen chair.
Plankton: “How is benadryl relevant?”
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “Beats me. Anyways, reason three is ‘Koe tried to bribe me to vote that weird mutated pickle, but im smarter than that, so i vote the weird mutated pickle’. …For the record, I did not bribe anyone.”
Nacho: “Give proof.”
Koe transmits information directly to Nacho’s brain somehow.
Nacho: “Yeah, checks out.”
Plankton: “What was that about me being a weird mutated pickle?!”
Torch God writes ‘TBF YOU DONT LOOK’
‘LIKE A REGULAR PLANKTON’
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “Plankton’s fourth reason reads ‘I like this weird pickle a lot and he will make it far’.”
Plankton: “Screw you all.”
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “Number five is ‘clever bastard’.”
Plankton: “Ha, I’d like to say I’m clever! But I don’t agree on the bastard part.”
Plasma Ball: “Normal people don’t call themselves bastards anyways.”
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “The next reason is ‘honestly Plankton got a bunch of kills that time with Amelia. plankton deserves this, plus he is going through a bit of a character arc right now.’.”
Nacho: “I’m surprised you did something useful.”
Plankton: “It’s your fault I can barely do anything!”
Nacho: “Well, you suck, so…”
Plankton glares at Nacho angrily.
Plankton: “You are just so damn annoying!”
Artificer: “Plankton, I think you should just ignore her.”
Plankton: “I wish I could.”
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “Seventh reason reads ‘PlAnkton cArried this chAllenge he is the GOAT’.”
Artificer: “...He’s a goat?...”
Artificer looks genuinely bewildered by the prospect of Plankton literally being a goat.
Plankton: “...I don’t know how to begin to respond to that display of knowledgelessness.”
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “Reason eight is ‘THE SECRET FORMULA’.”
Plankton: “If this was an episode ago, I’d say something, but now? I could care less about the secret formula.”
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “Finally, we have ‘Literally the MVP of your team, even if you guys did lose I think you guys can win the next few challenges ahead. So don’t give up now! Also. Since you are interested in the backstory of our red slug cat I will literally just give it to you now in the form of a long-ass story. So basically Artificer used to have children, a blue one and a green one. Sadly curiosity killed the cat as the blue one had taken a pearl from a scavenger toll and scavengers are intelligent creatures holding capabilities of forming societies. Back on track the blue child got speared in front of Arti and she ran away with the green slug pup. Then she does her signature rocket jump but in the process drops her last child. Now she looks like how you see her today, she has a new mission now, to avenge her fallen kin. I’d tell you about her future aswell but…. I think foretelling the future might mess up her timeline a bit so I leave it here. -Kairos is a lore enthusiast.’.”
Complete silence.
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “...That ruined the mood, didn’t it.”
Plasma Ball: “No shit, sherlock.”
Surprisingly, Nacho has nothing sarcastic to say in response to this. Who could’ve guessed she could actually be a good person. Maybe. Who knows, she might've just not thought of anything to say.
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “Let’s… move onto Torch God’s reasons now!”
Torch God writes ‘YEAH THAT’D BE PREFERABLE’.
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “First off, we have ‘He's cool.’.”
Torch God writes ‘THEY* BUT THANKS’
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “Next is… ‘It was between torch god and plankton but I chose torch gad as I believe others would have likely voted him for the spin over plankton.
Now to bartholumules bobs lore time
https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=fdH7yMfAMHs
I wanted to show you what bill was able to do and yes it is horrible just the endless torture he put people through was insane also something that the video doesn’t show is the fact that he can see through any image of himself making him essentially omnipresent and I am not even sure if the THoE can stop that ability as he has used it across dimensions before so he may be watching you right now.’.”
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “Thankfully, I foresaw this and was able to cancel out a fair portion of his abilities. Can’t say the same for Hyehehe thoug-”
Hyehehe: “No you can’t!”
Beat.
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “Get your ass back in there.”
Hyehehe: “Fine, but only because I was in the middle of playing poker!”
Hyehehe crinkles out of existence and back into the THoE. Torch God writes ‘WHAT WAS THAT’.
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “I wish I knew.”
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “Aaaaaaaaanyways, let’s get to the next reason! ‘The other voice of reason
Tiiiiiiiissssss I the lore guy
Here have some lore
The knight has by technicality ascended to godhood granting him the title "God of Gods" and "Lord of Shades"
Also plz win the next fight i beg of thee’.”
Artificer turns to the Knight, silently asking if it’s true. The Knight nods.
Plankton: “That’s a bit freaky, but there’s been worse.”
Nacho: “Like you.”
Plankton: “Wh- that doesn’t even make sense?!”
Nacho: “I meant worse in the sense that you suck.”
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “The fourth reason reads ‘I mean, they did live the longest, so I reckon it's deserved.’.”
Torch God writes ‘YEAH HONESTLY I DON’T KNOW’
‘HOW I OUTLIVED PLANKTON’
‘YOU SHOULD PROBABLY’
‘GIVE KUDOS TO HIM INSTEAD’.
Plankton: “Thank you for the recognition! And positive recognition, too, not the chip’s deranged words…”
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “Next up’s ‘Torch god needs more attention, though I love artificer and my headcannoned british accent I’m always open to unfamiliar characters. Also I heard Terria was cool.
Unrelated character opinions
bfdi has the best characters in the show, especially squid SQUIDSQUIDSQUIDSQUID’.”
Everybody but Torch God and the slugpup cringe at BFDI being praised. However, Artificer quickly uncringes.
Artificer: “Do I sound British?”
Plankton: “Yes.”
Plasma Ball: “Yep.”
Nacho: “Mmhmm.”
The Knight nods. Torch God writes ‘YES.’ Even the slugpup agrees, despite not knowing what a British is. Though to be fair, Artificer shouldn’t know what a British is and yet she does…
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “Congrats, you got outed as British to the viewers!”
Artificer: “Is that something to be proud or afraid of?”
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “Depends on if you think British people are cool or not. I, personally, have no opinion. Anyways, we should probably get to the next reason, which reads ‘Consistently somewhat helpful and pretty funny’.”
Torch God writes ‘THANK YOU’.
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “Seventh up is ‘they are so awesome :O’.”
Torch God makes a smiley face :).
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “Eighth is ‘i like them they are silly and also one of my best friends likes terraria (the game where they come from) so im a bit biased lmao -an average person’.”
Plankton: “You come from a game?”
Torch God writes ‘APPARENTLY SO’. They seem to be pretty chill about this revelation, though.
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “And, finally, ‘hey Koe
i think your contestants deserve some partying fun so
can you hook this song i attached up to a speaker and let everyone listen thanks’... And then somehow there’s an mp3 attached to this.”
Koe somehow hooks the mp3 up to a speaker and immediately grimaces as he hears that it’s the song Ballin’ by Mustard. Aka the Animan Studios song. Said video traumatized him a couple episodes ago.
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “Okay hell no .”
Koe quickly turns off the music.
Plankton: “Hey, come on, that wasn’t so bad!”
The slugpup nods.
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “Trust me, there are good reasons for me to shut that down quickly.”
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “Horrors aside, we should get down to business - revealing who wins the prize! Will it be Plankton or Torch Go-”
Nacho: “It’s Torch God. Thankfully.”
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “Gh- How’d you?!?! Eh?!?!”
Nacho: “You dropped the paper with the prize votes when you were internally freaking out about the ass song.”
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “I’m not going to ask why you called it the ass song… but… …yeah, Torch God got 12 votes, and Plankton only got 10.”
Plankton: “Barnacles! At least I got second place, but still!”
Torch God does some sort of celebratory dance but it kinda just looks like they’re having a stroke.
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “So, Torch God, now you can spin the whe-”
Koe has a realization.
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “...You can’t spin the wheel, can’t you…”
Torch God also seems to have just realized this, and makes a frowning face.
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “Well, looks like I’ll have to take the reins this time!”
Koe slides over to the wheel and gives it a small flick, which somehow sends it spinning fairly quickly. It lands on…
‘Special ability of the recipient’s choosing for the remainder of the competition’
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “Good for you, Torch God, you got one of the best prizes on the wheel!”
Torch God writes ‘HOORAY’.
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “So, what’s our lucky lot o’ lights gonna choose?”
Torch God shuffles around for a moment, thinking, before finally deciding…
‘TEXT TO SPEECH SO’
‘PEOPLE CAN LISTEN TO’
‘ME BETTER’
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “Consider it done!”
Koe snaps. Nothing changes… well, visibly, at the least. Torch God begins to write something.
Torch God: “TESTING, TESTING, 123.”
Torch God makes a grinning face, clearly satisfied.
Artificer: “Good call for a prize.”
The Knight nods in agreement.
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “With the first part settled, let’s get straight into the main event by going over the elimination! But before that… Plankton, do you want to use your Win Token?”
Plankton: “I’m confident enough that I’ll survive, given the results of the prize vote!”
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “Alright, then it’s time for the votes to be revealed! First things first, the Knight and Plasma Ball are safe with no votes whatsoever.”
Koe tosses sticks of chalk to the three first-safers, one each - plus an extra one for the slugpup, just because. The Knight catches theirs, as Plasma Ball catches both chalks headed her way and hands one to the slugpup.
Plankton: “Wait- You’re telling me two of the bottom three got first safe but the ones who actually got far in the spin vote are actually at risk?!”
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “Yeesh, no need to freak out, you’re next safe with just a single vote. No vote reason, either.”
Koe throws Plankton a chalk stick, which he gets crushed by. Plasma Ball covers the slugpup’s eyes so it doesn’t have to see the crushing.
Torch God: “THAT WAS AN EXAMPLE OF KARMA AT WORK”
Plasma Ball: “...Yep."
Koe casually respawns Plankton.
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “...Furthermore, Torch God is also safe with one vote. Their singular reason reads ‘Their so bland and I want them gone now’.”
Koe tosses chalk to Torch God, which they let fall to the floor. Torch God doesn’t respond to the vote reason at all.
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “That leads us to the final two - Artificer and Nacho.”
Artificer: “Must be another example of karma at work… This is probably my atonement for screwing up our first elimination.”
Plasma Ball: “I think we all know how this is actually going to go, though…”
Nacho: “Eh. Whatever.”
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “...Apathetic as ever. That’s sure as heck the Nacho I know. Now, before we get to the big reveal, we’ve got some reasons to read - four each, for the time being. Starting with Artificer, we’ve got ‘No hard feelings atrifecyer but she wears a sword. it's weird😍😋🤑’.”
Artificer: “For the record, it’s a spear. Also, what was with that pronunciation?”
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “It’s spelled atrifecyer. I contractually have to pronounce it a-trife-cye-r.”
Artificer: “There are… other ways to pronounce… whatever that string of letters is meant to be.”
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “Fair enough. Anyways, the second reason reads ‘i like everyone on this team but one has to be the weak link. i guess you could say "unfortunate" does not begin to describe’.”
Artificer: “Begin to describe… what, exactly?”
Koe shrugs.
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “Next is ‘I liked Bill - ADAGE’.”
Chorus of boos, except from the Knight, who cannot speak (though they’re certainly booing in spirit), and the slugpup who cannot speak… and also doesn’t even know who Bill is.
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “Lastly, we have ‘Artificer is the best character here, but never gets to do anything. She always dies. Its a little hard to believe this is the slugcat who took down armies of scavengers (which are WAY to hard to fight), and had been hunted by kill squads for cycles upon cycles, never to be stopped. I'm surprised she hasn't snapped and gone rage-mode on anyone yet. I only voted her because she keeps getting ignored, or killed to be out of the picture.’.”
Artificer: “You think I want to die constantly? Plus, you have to realize the threat level many of the people here pose - for rot’s sake, there’s eldritch beings roaming around like it’s nothing! And you really expect me to be able to deal with that? And, for the record, I’ve almost snapped a couple of times already. You should be able to guess who’s responsible for that.”
The screen pans to Nacho. It kinda just… stays there for a moment. It then goes back to the regular view.
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “...okay, let’s… get to Nacho’s reasons! First is ‘Bruh.’.”
Nacho: “Very descriptive.”
Plankton: “Speak for yourself!”
Nacho: “Nah.”
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “The second reason reads ‘F*CK YOU NACHO!!!!!!!!!!
Also plankton that robo\cyborg suit was super cool and it’s to bad you didn’t get squid though I doubt you could defeat nikoly lambs the only one who has done that alone to my knowledge.
—The Spector that shot themself’
‘No place for objects here.’.”
Plankton: “Thank you for the praise!”
Nacho: “No thank you for the anti-praise. Though also I don’t care. Also N killed Nikoly too. Twice, actually. That’s more than Lamb’s one kill. But that was also under the influence of existences stronger and more bloodthirsty than he is.”
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “...How do you know about all that, exactly?”
Nacho shrugs.
Nacho: “Dunno.”
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “Well, at least you’re honest about it. Anyways, third up is ‘nacho for the love of the ancients leave plankton alone i’ve had enough of your little rivalry
-zapper’.”
Nacho: “Good luck.”
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “Finally, we have ‘Plankton - He's managed to redeem himself from his bland gimmick of being Bill and Nacho's punching bag, and has proven himself to be a formidable character. I can foresee an important arc occurring with him in the future. If he does well enough, he's on track to becoming NNIT's best member.
Torch God - Artificer, but not as aggressive. Not much else to say. They're still a good character, they just can use a bit of fleshing out to separate themselves. Maybe an expansion on their friendships outside the team could prove useful.
Plasma Ball - Now that she's no longer possessed and all, she can have her chance to shine... It's not going great so far, in all honesty, but there's potential to be had, and she has some good qualities.
Knight - Bland. Completely bland.
Nacho - Now, without Plankton's whole arc she probably would've been second-to-last, but now that the one thing she has going for her is going to be lost at one point or another, she might as well go now.’.”
The Knight scowls at being called bland.
Nacho: “Nothing says I can’t mess with Plankton even if he’s going through an arc or whatever.”
Plankton: “Yeah, well, your elimination will say so!”
Nacho: “You don’t know I’m getting eliminated.”
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “Well, he will know if you are or not right now! The one going to the THoE this time around is…”
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “Nacho, with a grand total of 30 votes! That’s gotta be a record or something, hot damn. In comparison, Artificer only received 4 - which is an entire 26 less. Quite the margin, isn’t it?”
Koe throws a stick of chalk to Artificer, who lets it zoom past her.
Artificer: “Thank the iterators that the useless one is getting out this time.”
Plankton: “Yeah, good riddance!”
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “Now, now, we still have some reasons to go over - and by some, I mean a hell of a lot of reasons. First on the list is ‘never let him cook ever again!!!’.”
Artificer: “In the literal sense, yes, we shouldn’t let Nacho cook again.”
Plasma Ball: “...How is it that you understand what that means but not the slang version of goat?”
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “Next is ‘YOO I FINALLY GET TO VOTE!!! Golly Nacho, I know who she is and I don’t like her. What did she even do in this challenge??? The way Nacho acts in this competition is so genuinely annoying and If I was in the mood id go back and nitpick every single detail i dislike about em.
..
On a side note, Artificer and Torch god are the best characters in this team. Cheers!

Torch God: “IF YOU WERE TO NITPICK NACHO’S FAULTS WE’D PROBABLY BE STUCK HERE ALL DAY”
Plankton: “If not longer!”
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “Third is ‘Literally a constant detriment to the team how has she not been voted out yet holy shit’.”
Artificer: “Bill Cipher was worse, honestly, as bad as Nacho was.”
Nacho: “Cool, guess I’m being referred to in the past tense now.”
Plankton: “Might as well since you’re heading out as soon as we’re done with these!”
The Knight nods, agreeing wholeheartedly. The slugpup seems… wholly confused on why everyone hates Nacho.
Plasma Ball: “I’d say you’d understand eventually, but there won’t be a need for that… hopefully , at least.”
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “Fourth up is ‘annoying. just annoying’.”
Nacho: “I’m aware.”
Plankton: “You’re aware of it and CONTINUE to be annoying?!”
Nacho: “Why not?”
Plankton: “...”
Plankton: “I question why I even try to ask you these things I will never get a good answer to.”
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “Next reason reads ‘Writhe and suffer ye who brings down the team
I am he who giveth lore
Fun fact: the knight much like lamb has killed multiple gods technically speaking thirty or so’.”
Plasma Ball: “...That explains the god part.”
The Knight nods.
Torch God: “DON’T KILL ME EVEN IF I’M A GOD ONLY IN NAME”
The Knight assures Torch God they have no intent of murder.
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “Next is ‘The show cant fix her so its not worth a try, so i say let her grow’.”
Torch God: “SHOULDN’T IT BE THE VERSION WHERE IT SAYS TO DIE INSTEAD OF GROW LIKE I DOUBT SHE CAN GROW, LITERALLY OR METAPHORICALLY”
Torch God: “BTW DONT ASK WHY I KNOW THE LORAX MOVIE”
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “Seventh reason reads ‘I insist on getting rid of you.’.”
Nacho: “Well, good job. You did it. Applause.”
Nacho claps once.
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “Eighth is ‘Dead weight. -Kairos….’.”
Nacho: “I’m not dead.”
Plasma Ball: “It’s a figure of speech-”
Nacho: “I know.”
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “Next reason reads ‘i am not hungry.’.”
Nacho: “Good for you.”
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “Tenth up is ‘at first she was mildly funny but now she’s just kinda annoying’.”
Nacho: “To each their own.”
Plankton: “About 85% of the votes - more or less - are for you and yet you say to each their own???”
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “Next is ‘im sorry nacho normally i dont vote out object show characters but you need to stop fucking around so much, esp with plankton
like come the fuck on
- Ember Nyxtical (EmberTheAlphaWolf)
i omor’.”
Plankton: “Thank Neptune that she finally can stop.”
Nacho: “It was fun while it lasted.”
Plankton: “Not for me! Or anyone, for that matter!”
Artificer: “Agreed.”
Torch God: “YEAH YOU JUST SUCK”
Plasma Ball: “Yes, good riddance.”
The Knight glares at Nacho, making their stance clear. The slugpup looks confused, but assumes that Nacho probably did not good things - which yeah she did do not good things, but the slugpup has a far worse interpretation of Nacho’s misdoings then what they actually are.
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “...After that one we have ‘I think everybody here knows why.’. Which yeah, I think all of these votes are just insulting Nacho.”
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “Then we have ‘I think the reason as to why I'm voting nacho is obvious. he doesn't affect the team in any positive way, as a matter of fact he has affected them very negatively! Plankton was able to put there transgressions aside when he needed to, but nacho refuses to stop bullying him! Needless to say i will cocontinue to be voting for this IDIOT in for the foreseeable future. Go f*** yourself nacho
- Night_Owl’. And then there’s a part that says not to read past this point… meant to go to Flowey… alrighty, then!”
Koe rips the bottom half of the vote reason cleanly, and teleports it to Flowey. Cut to Flowey, whos face is now covered by the paper while watching Kris play Fortnite again.
Flowey: “Gh- what the hell?!”
Flowey shakes the paper off his face. Kris leans over to look at what it says as Flowey himself reads.
Flowey: “...‘PS: Mr. Koe please send this message to flowey with my regards.
flowey, I assume you know about blocky's book. It is making their team powerful beyond compare by giving them invaluable knowledge such as what the next challenge will be and how to win it (they haven't asked the later yet, hopefully they won't get the chance to). I think we can both agree that this is a problem, which is why I'm trying to.offer a.solution. The solution is simple, get rid of the book. Burn it, bury it, shoot it with your friendliness pellets I don't care! JUST GET RID OF IT!
Night_Owl’.”
Flowey: “Interesting…”
Flowey grins evilly.
Flowey: “We shouldn't destroy it, but instead steal i-”
Kris glares at Flowey.
Flowey: “...Okay, fine, we’ll destroy it.”
Cut back to the elimination.
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “Wonder what that’ll tell him. Anyways, next up is ‘i like everybody on this list except for nacho. process of Elimination.’. Simple enough.”
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “Then we have ‘I would've voted for Plankton, but I just watched a video of him singing Cold Island, so that brings him up a little. ~Tayoga~’.”
Plankton: “Not sure what that has to do with anything but… okay?...”
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “The next reason reads ‘she needs to chill the fuck out honestly her antics were fun at first but like. it got old -an average person’.”
Artificer: “Were they ever truly fun?”
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “Now, next up is ‘What do you call cheese that isn't yours? What do you call cheese that isn't yours? What do you call cheese that isn't yours?

Beat.
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “I don’t get it…”
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “Eh, whatever. Second to last reason, go! ‘Hey I fixed my e key finAlly AnywAys time to eliminAte the other useless triAngle on this teAm- wAit is my fucking A key broken now SHIIIIIIIIII-’.”
Artificer: “If it helps at all, we have no way of telling the letters on your reasons are screwed up.”
Plasma Ball: “I’d be concerned if we could .”
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “Alright, with all those done, let’s finally get to the final reason! It’s… it’s long, so… I’ll split it up into two parts. The first part reads ‘What is up. VoidInstructions here.
Remember NullCommands? I was their employer. I supervised everything they did. I made them include all the EoD advertisements. I personally injected the Animan into their votes. It was I who forced you to read it all and endure it all.
And I'll fucking do it again. But of course, not before I indulge myself in some personal-flavoured troll detections of my own...
Artificer: Looks like you're the team leader now. You're the only person I can't find anything bad to say about. I would applaud you for that if I weren't trolling.
Knight: You, my friend? You're just a flat character. No such thing as characterisation. Not even a line of dialogue could save you from this pathos.
Nacho: And over here we have an utterly useless idiotic team member who is of no use to any members of her team! That sounds a lot like a certain other triangle to me. You should consider eliminating yourself before you become the show's or voters' laughing stock.
Plasma Ball: I'll give it to you that you were victim to the Lamb - but beyond that you are without character and utterly irrelevant. Perhaps consider going back to your own show where you can, I don't know, die or something
Plankton: Your whole character is being a dick! Does it get much worse than this? You're the motherfucking stock villain - a character whose only purpose in life is to be ridiculed and utterly defeated!
Torch God: You're seemingly holding out well for a literal nobody on AO3. Does it change the fact that you're a characterisation-less annoyance though? No.’. Wow that just tore at everyone. But Artificer.”
Plasma Ball: “Okay wow, I can get being mad at Nacho but honestly most of that shit is just uncalled for.”
Plankton: “Yeah, what the hell?!”
Nacho: “Ngl I don’t care.”
Torch God: “WELL YEAH OF COURSE YOU DON’T YOU ARE THE MOST APATHETIC PERSON EVER YOU WOULDN’T CARE IF YOU WERE ABOUT TO GET BRUTALLY MURDERED WOULD YOU”
Nacho: “Depends.”
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “And for the other part… hoo boy, here we go…”
Koe breathes in.
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “‘And yes, before you ask, this voting reason has been sponsored for the first time in years by none other than Elemental on Discord.

Holy shit it’s among us in real life.
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “This would be way funnier if Red was here…”
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “Eh, no use dwelling on it. Time for Nacho to go! Any last words?”
Nacho: “No.”
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “...Really? That’s… that’s kinda anticlimactic.”
Nacho: “I mean. I don’t have anything to say. Not like I wanted to compete anyways.”
Nacho gets up and prepares to get eliminated, but before Koe can fire the THoE’s laser, the slugpup nabs Nacho’s cheese and eats it.
Plasma Ball: “I- who told you you could do that?!”
The slugpup silently repents. Nacho is dead silent.
Plankton: “Did you take her lifeforce or something? Not that I’m complaining, but it’s freaky seeing her like this.”
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “I… dunno what happened ther-”
Nacho starts screaming bloody murder.
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “OW MY EARS-”
Koe quickly traps Nacho in the THoE to save everyone else’s eardrums.
Artificer: “Never would’ve expected her to have a complex related to her cheese.”
Torch God: “AGREED”
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “Quite the… interesting way to go out! Whatever, though. Challenge time starts a bit later today, so come outside once it’s time to go!”
Koe heads out, as does NNIT - however, they split up, and NNIT returns to their hallway as per Torch God’s request.
Artificer: “So… care to explain what the meeting’s for?”
Torch God: “I LEARNED BFDI’S STRATEGY FOR THE CHALLENGE”
Plasma Ball: “Don’t tell me we’re going to copy them…”
Torch God: “NO THAT’S CHEATING OF COURSE NOT”
Torch God: “MY IDEA IS THAT WE USE IT TO OUR ADVANTAGE TO MAKE THEM LOSE, OR AT LEAST NOT WIN”
Torch God explains BFDI’s plan and how to mess with it - which, of course, I will not be saying to keep the challenge a secret.
Artificer: “I see…”
The Knight nods, clearly thinking that Torch God’s plan is solid.
Plankton: “No harm in trying!”
Artificer and Plasma Ball both seem to agree with the plan too.
Torch God: “OK NICE”
Torch God: “NEXT THING… WHAT DO WE DO WITH THE KID”
Torch God, obviously, is referring to the slugpup that one vote reason summoned. Said slugpup is currently nestled on top of Plasma Ball’s head.
Plasma Ball: “I’d feel bad if they got caught up in any of the challenges… so I think we should keep them here until we can figure out something better.”
Plankton: “Didn’t know you had a soft spot for chil-”
Plasma Ball stares down Plankton, signaling for him to shut his mouth.
Artificer: “...I’m sure you all know my stance on this, considering my past was nonchalantly revealed by one of the voters.”
Torch God: “YEAH FAIR ENOUGH”
Torch God: “PLASMA BALL YOU SHOULD KEEP THEM IN YOUR ROOM SINCE THEY’RE CLEARLY ATTACHED TO YOU THE MOST”
Plasma Ball: “Fair enough.”
Plasma Ball takes the slugpup into her room and places it slowly onto her bed, then exits back to the hallway.
Artificer: “Now what? We’ve still got time to spare, since Koe’s delaying the challenge for whatever reason.”
Plankton: “I’m going to go train, like I was doing before Plasma Ball interrupted me!”
Plasma Ball: “Not my fault you were 30 minutes late.”
Plankton: “...Yeah that’s a good point honestly.”
Cut to outside, where all the contestants - bar the obviously absent Nacho - are standing.
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “Alrighty, folks! The next challenge is going to be a bit special…”
Science Bear: “How so?”
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “Glad you asked! The thing is, instead of trying to save your bums from being eliminated, you’ve got two goals this time around… one of which is getting first, so you can get a previously eliminated contestant onto your team!”
This piques the interest of many of the contestants.
King Julien: “Excuse me, Mr. Koe, but are we choosing who comes back? That’s what I’d prefer, but anything is fine with me, really!”
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “The viewers, of course, will be voting for the returner. As this is a viewer voting-based show. Wouldn’t be fair to let the contestants pick, would it?”
King Julien: “Fair enough, dear host!”
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “There’s more to this challenge, too - the team that ends up in last will get a disadvantage in the following challenge, once again decided by the viewers - though it’ll be their personal suggestions!”
This also piques interest, though negatively instead of positively.
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “Now, for what the actual challenge is. This’ll be reminiscent of the fifth challenge, but don’t worry about it - the gist is that each team will be put in a room, where one of their members will have someone else take their place. They’ll look, and hopefully act, nearly identical, though, so the remaining members will have to figure out who’s the faker! The first team to figure their faker out gets the rejoiner, while the last team gets the disadvantage.”
N: “...What if a team just picked every person until they got it right, though?”
Koe glares at N.
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “If you do that you’re instantly disqualified. No exceptions. Even if another team is already disqualified.”
N gulps in fear at Koe’s tone of voice.
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “Aaaaaaaaaaaaanyways challenge time! Starts now! Bye!”
Koe snaps, and the teams are teleported into their rooms.
Cut to BFDI.
Squid: “I take it that we all remember the plan, right? Excluding Red, of course.”
Blocky: “Duh!”
Tree-y: “♪ indeed we shall remember it, pal ♪”
Nikoly: “Yep!”
Red: “...I feel out of the loop.”
Squid: “That’s the point. Now, everyone, recite one part of the plan. Minus the obvious outlier. Then we’ll know who’s the fake.”
The four non-Red team members all say one part of BFDI’s challenge plan, all being accurate.
Squid: “That settles it then. It’s Red.”
Red: “Wh- how?!”
Squid: “Simple: Everyone knew the plan, therefore giving them an alibi.”
Nikoly: “Sayonara, bean man!-”
Suddenly, a loud buzzer plays, seemingly saying that the team’s guess is wrong. Squid is left mouth agape.
Squid: “WHAT?!”
Blocky: “That didn’t work? Was someone oh-so-conveniently spying on us, what’re the chances of that?!”
Nikoly: “Hooooo boy this just shattered into pieces.”
Tree-y: “♪ i am disheartened by how our progress has restarted ♪”
Squid groans in clear disdain for the events that have occurred.
Squid: “Looks like we have to scrap this and do something else.”
Red: “...What if w-”
Squid: “No.”
Nikoly: “Hey, wait, hold on a moment! Why not let him continue? I mean, we’re kinda out of options anyways, so…”
Squid sighs.
Squid: “...I guess we don’t have a choice. Red, continue speaking.”
Red: “O-okay. I was thinking, it might be a good idea to like… ask each other questions only the real person would know, and if they get it wrong then they’re probably the faker and we try to vote them out? Eventually we’d narrow things down to the… impostor… with only 4 choices, anyways…”
Silence.
Blocky: “Sounds good to me!”
Tree-y: “♪ i will agree this brings me glee ♪”
Nikoly: “Yeah, good job, Red!”
Squid: “As much as I hate to say it, it’s a solid idea. I feel stupid for not thinking of it myself earlier.”
Red is relieved that he actually got positive feedback from Squid for once.
Tree-y: “♪ now what do we ask before the opportunity can pass ♪”
Blocky: “Ain’t it simple? We just use our previous plans!”
Squid: “You expect everyone to remember that?”
Blocky: “I… y’know what, fair enough, Squid! I got no ideas if that’s not gonna work, then.”
Nikoly puts his hand up to his temple, seemingly looking like he’s about to snap, but nobody notices this. He does go back to his regular demeanor soon after, however.
Nikoly: “What about personal questions? Like, about the person themselves.”
Squid: “And how much do you expect us to know about each other?”
Tree-y: “♪ we know a good amount about blocky but not much else, unfortunately ♪”
Red: “Tree-y, that barely rhymed…”
Tree-y: “i tried my best”
Squid: “...Well, having info on one person is better than none. Might as well give it a shot.”
Cut to NNIT.
Artificer: “...Upon contemplating, I don’t believe our team ever made a plan for actually winning .”
Plankton: “Well, then let’s come up with a plan now instead of lounging around!”
Torch God shuffles in place, clearly thinking.
Torch God: “I HAVE AN IDEA”
Plankton: “And what, pray tell, is this idea of yours?”
Torch God: “WE HAVE A ROUNDTABLE DISCUSSION WHERE WE ANSWER QUESTIONS WE SHOULD KNOW, AND IF THE ANSWER IS WRONG THEN THE ANSWERER IS MORE THAN LIKELY THE FAKER”
Plasma Ball: “Works well enough.”
The Knight nods in agreement.
Artificer: “If that’s what we’re going with, then so be it. Who wants to start?”
Plasma Ball raises her hand.
Plasma Ball: “I’ll go first.”
Plasma Ball turns to the Knight.
Plasma Ball: “What team sabotaged us in the second challenge?”
The Knight uses their nail to answer with BFDI.
Artificer: “That didn’t seem like much of a good question.”
Plasma Ball: “Well, it is better than nothing.”
Torch God: “YEAH BUT IF IT WAS ONE OF THE ONES WHO SABOTAGED US THEN THEY’D KNOW THAT”
Plasma Ball: “...Fair enough-”
Plankton: “Hey, are we going to keep on diddle-daddling or are we going to keep going?!”
Torch God: “YIKES, AND I THOUGHT YOU WERE GETTING BETTER AT NOT BEING AGGRESSIVE”
Plankton: “I- look, I’m just impatient, okay?”
Torch God: “...OK…”
Artificer: “I’ll ask a question next. Torch God, what was the prize at our first elimination?”
Torch God: “SWAPPING THE VOTES OF TWO CONTESTANTS… PRETTY EASY TO REMEMBER SINCE YOU ACCIDENTALLY GOT BOWSER OUT WITH IT”
Artificer: “Didn’t need the reminder of that blunder but you passed regardless.”
The Knight points to Plankton, and seems to sketch out a question on the floor… though it’s not clear what they’re trying to ask.
Plankton: “...How do you expect me to understand any of what you’re trying to say?”
The Knight ‘groans’ - using their nail, of course - and simplifies it. They’re asking Plankton how many votes Bill got when he was eliminated. Plankton taps his head for a moment, thinking…
Plankton: “Seventeen?”
The Knight nods, confirming this.
Plankton: “How do you expect most people to know that?!”
Plankton mutters something under his breath after the rhetorical question, though this isn’t caught by anyone. The Knight shrugs, having assumed that it’s something easy to remember.
Plankton: “Well, it’s not .”
Plankton: “Anyways, I’ll go next… Hm…”
Plankton hums in thought for a while, then points to Plasma Ball.
Plankton: “How many people on our team were left after our encounter with IDIOT during the last challenge?”
Plankton whispers to himself something regarding this question, but once again, it’s not caught.
Plasma Ball: “Three. Me, you, and Torch God.”
Plankton: “Correct.”
Torch God: “OKAY GUESS ITS MY TURN FINALLY…”
Torch God: “ARTIFICER WHAT CHALLENGE DID WE DISCOVER LAMB’S ABILITY TO POSSESS PEOPLE”
Artificer: “The maze challenge.”
Torch God: “DING DING DING”
Torch God: “THAT’S RIGHT”
Artificer: “...Was the dinging really necessary?”
Torch God: “...TBH PROBABLY NOT”
Plankton: “One round didn’t get us anywhere. Guess we’re going to have to deal with a second… ugh.”
Cut to CF.
Wheatley: “This challenge shouldn’t be too hard! I’d wager that we might be the most tightly-knit team among the lot!”
…And yet we have the most members. That makes things twice as difficult.
Wheatley: “Fair point, incorporeal voice!”
Beat.
Wheatley: “HOLY SMOKES THERE’S AN INCORPOREAL VOICE-”
Flowey: “Have you finally gone mad?! There’s no stupid voices in the air or anything!”
Pizza Steve: “Actually, I dunno, I’m hearing it too…”
N: “Ohhhhh, yeah, so… Stanley’s narrator guy can be heard by us now for some reason…”
An incredibly dumb reason, may I add. Which also doesn’t let Amelia, Flowey, or Kris hear me. Maybe for the better, in Flowey’s case, I’ve said many unsavory things about him.
Amelia: “That’s weird…”
Ploque: “Hold on a moment… Wouldn’t this disqualify everyone that can hear him from being the faker since they wouldn’t gain the ability to hear him?”
Likely, yes. Except Stanley, maybe- Okay, okay, fine, you’re not the faker, I get it. In any case, this narrows it down to the aforementioned three, if we’re to believe that the faker can’t inherit the abilities of who they’re faking.
Pizza Steve: “So, dudes, what’s the game plan now?”
Kris writes ‘i have an idea, though it might sound stupid at first’.
N: “It’s fine, even if it is stupid! N-no offense, of course!”
Kris writes ‘none taken’
‘anyways, i figured we should just… play a board game like we usually do. imo it’s probably the best portrayal of our personalities and would help us notice’.
Flowey: “Wow that is stupid. But also it somehow sounds like it’ll work.”
Wheatley: “Brilliant! We can have fun while also doing the challenge!”
Ploque: “...This all hinges on there actually being any board games in here.”
In the corner of the room, N is opening up a cabinet.
N: “Don’t worry, there seems to be plenty in here!”
That’s awfully convenient. Almost like it’s there purely to move the plot forward.
Pizza Steve: “What?”
Nothing.
Yeah better be careful with what you say now. Loser. Anyways N grabs one of the board games and brings it to the rest of the team.
N: “I found this one!”
The members read the name on the box.
Amelia: “...‘URAADV: The Board Game’?”
Pizza Steve: “‘Inspired by ECER: The Board Game’... never heard of that but it seems fun so why not try it, bros?”
Ploque: “Better than nothing, I suppose.”
Cut to RCoKJ. Donkey and King Julien are using a board on the wall to create the most crackpot theories on how to figure out who the faker is. Rocket is sitting in the corner. Spider-Ham, who was watching Donkey and King Julien, turns to see this and walks over.
Spider-Ham: “...You good, Rocket?”
Rocket: “...Fine.”
Rocket seems to be a bit more reserved than usual…
Spider-Ham: “Well, if you say so… But if you need anything, just come get me.”
Spider-Ham walks back over to Donkey and King Julien. Rocket mutters something under his breath that only Carl hears.
Rocket?: “ Why, out of all people, do I have to try and act like this kid?! That’s damn near impossible… ”
Carl slides over to Rocket? and whispers into his ear.
Carl: “ Hi, Flowey. ”
Rocket? staggers backwards a bit, surprised. He then collects himself again.
Rocket?: “ Wh- how the hell did you figure that out already?!”
Carl: “ I’m good at figuring out people’s voices. That’s how I hunt down undercover government officials for my meat dragon. ”
Rocket?: “ O…kay… ”
Rocket?: “ Anyways- what the hell do you want with me?! Are you going to screw me over already??? ”
Carl: “ Oh, nonono, see, I actually wanted to use this opportunity. I wanted to ask for an alliance. Because you like killing. And I like meat. Definitely not killing, though. No way. ”
Rocket? is clearly skeptical on the killing part, but seems to take an interest in the alliance idea regardless.
Rocket?: “ ...Fine. I guess. I do have things I need to do anyways and as much as I hate to say it, a second person’d probably have to be needed… unfortunately. ”
Carl: “ Cool, cool. I hope we can enjoy working with each other. ”
Rocket?: “ Yeah sure whatever… but wait, hold on, won’t this fuck with your whole being-in-a-kingdom thing? Or whatever the hell that is? ”
Carl: “ Probably not. I dunno, doesn’t matter to me anyways. ”
Rocket?: “ Fair enough. ”
Over with the other three…
King Julien: “Alright, so then we…”
Donkey: “No, wait, but then…”
King Julien: “Oh, yeah, and then…”
Spider-Ham stares confusedly at the two’s ‘planning’. It looks more like a can of silly string and a notebook barfed over the board and it made this horrid abomination that no living being should be able to make.
Spider-Ham: “...I’m sorry, folks, but I don’t follow.”
King Julien: “We’ll simplify it eventually!”
Donkey: “Yeah, don’t worry, ham-man!”
Spider-Ham: “Well, alright then, if you say so.”
Cut to IDIOT. Everyone’s silent. It’s… awkward, to say the least. Enderman sits in the corner of the room, spectating everyone while wearing a pumpkin to ensure that they don’t accidentally aggro on anyone. They end up watching Charlie closely, and notice him acting oddly… after a bit of thinking and surveying, Enderman concludes that Charlie must be the faker. They slowly step over to Test Tube, then lightly tap her to get her attention. It takes a while for Test Tube to respond.
Test Tube: “ ...Yeah? ”
Enderman tries telling Test Tube that Charlie’s the faker, but they can’t get their point across. Test Tube looks visibly confused by this. Enderman groans, and decides to go a step further - they rip a cabinet from another part of the room off, turn the wood into a sign, and place it down, writing ‘Charlie is the faker’. However, this draws unwanted attention from the others.
Charles: “...Enderman, what was that?”
Enderman picks up the sign and turns around, though they’re met with eyes of suspicion.
Science Bear: “I could begin to believe you if you gave evidence, but if you can’t then you’re pinning yourself as a target.”
Blue nods in agreement. Enderman begins sweating, before they have a realization - they just need to get Charlie to talk. Enderman teleports over to Charlie and bonks him on the head.
Charlie the Unicorn?: “Hey, what was that for?”
His tone of voice is very blatantly not his usual, which seems convincing enough for most.
Charles: “...I can see it…”
Test Tube: “Me too…”
Science Bear: “Personally, I’m still not sold.”
Charlie the Unicorn?: “Hold on, what are we talking about?”
Enderman stares at Charlie blankly, though the effect is… obviously dampened by them wearing a pumpkin. However, the intention is still clear that Enderman is disappointed in the lack of an attempt that the faker is making. Enderman then grabs their sign, removes the writing, and puts a ‘Z’ on it, before holding it up to Charlie.
Charlie the Unicorn?: “...What?”
Blue and Science Bear, the only ones not to believe Enderman at first, turn to each other. They both believe them now, of course.
Science Bear: “Well, that’s enough evidence for me. The real Charlie would’ve reacted more to that. Though… in the future you might want to refrain from that method.”
Charlie the Unicorn?: “I’m still confu-”
Poof! IDIOT is teleported out of their room, except Charlie… and with Rocket included.
Rocket: “-sed… oh. Aw…”
Science Bear: “Apologies, but your performance wasn’t up to par.”
Rocket: “Yeah, oops… I’m not all too good at acting.”
Koe slides into the scene.
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “Congrats, folks, you just won the amazing prize of getting a debuter! Great job!”
Blue celebrates. The other members seem to at least acknowledge their win, except for Enderman, who teleports away almost-instantly.
Rocket: “Well, uh, good for you guys at least! I guess I should probably go wait for my team!”
Rocket heads off. Cut to BFDI, where they are very clearly struggling.
Blocky: “Haha. Wow. I feel like my privacy’s been invaded a thousand times over now.”
Squid: “Then give us more options if you don’t like it.”
Blocky: “Hey hey hey, hold on, do you expect me to be able to pull that right out of nowhere? The only things I can do that for are pranks, and as much as I’d like it to, I don’t think it’s gonna help at all if I try that!”
Squid: “At least try!”
Blocky and Squid start bickering. Nikoly stares at them blankly, then turns to Red and Tree-y.
Nikoly: “Neither of them are going to be any help, are they?”
Red: “...A bit harsh but.. you may have a point…”
Tree-y: “♪ what do we do now i dont want our team to go down ♪”
Red: “Uh… hm…”
Red paces, thinking.
Red: “I don’t know… maybe… hm… no…”
Red murmurs to himself, trying to get an idea in his head, but unfortunately this bean boy is all out of brain juice. But then, suddenly! He notices a conveniently-placed chalkboard on wheels in the corner of the room, chalk included. He runs over to it and begins using the chalk to quickly sketch out ideas.
Tree-y: “♪ what are you doing and why are you zooming ♪”
Red: “I’m figuring out how to discover who the faker is…”
Red seems very engrossed in his work. Looks like deduction is his strong suit. Blocky and Squid both notice this and stop arguing.
Blocky: “What’s bean man doing?”
Tree-y: “♪ he is making a plan to get us to… win ♪”
Tree-y: “♪ …that didnt rhyme but i tried ♪”
Squid: “Well, at least he’s being utile for once.”
Blocky: “Yeah! Dude’s done nothing useful for pretty much the entire competition so far, so glad he’s finally earning his place on the team.”
Tree-y looks away from the two insulters. Nikoly, meanwhile, seems to be oddly intrigued about this interaction.
Cut to NNIT. They seem to have passed around quite a number of questions.
Plankton: “How many times has this been now… it’s gotta be a whole lotta’ useless crap if we haven’t gotten anything solid yet!”
Artificer: “It hasn’t been that long. You’re just being impatient.”
Plasma Ball: “Yeah, freaking chill for one second.”
The Knight nods in agreement.
Torch God: “...ANYWAYS WHO STARTS NEXT”
Plasma Ball: “I’ll step up to the plate. Artificer, what was our placement in the first challenge?”
Artificer: “First. Not difficult to remember because Bill decided to send the boat flying at who knows what kind of rottish speed and ever since then I’ve had it ingrained into my mind.”
Plasma Ball: “I… well, you’re correct, yeah.”
Torch God: “I’LL GO NEXT”
Torch God: “PLASMA BALL WHAT DID NACHO ADD TO PLANKTON’S BURGER ON THE DAY OF THE SECOND CHALLENGE”
Plasma Ball: “...Weirdly specific question, but it was hot sauce.”
Torch God: “CORRECT”
The Knight sketches out a question in the form of images - it seems to ask Torch God who the victim of Bill during the previous impostor challenge was.
Torch God: “PLANKTON”
The Knight nods.
Plankton: “Is it just me or are these questions hinging on my misfortunes a lot?”
Torch God: “PROBABLY BECAUSE EVERY DAY BEFORE THIS YOU HAD BILL AND/OR NACHO MESSING WITH YOU. THANK GOD THEY’RE BOTH GONE NOW THOUGH”
Torch God: “...THOUGH THE REJOIN MEANS THEY MIGHT RETURN. OH BOY”
Artificer: “Oh, great, I hadn’t even thought of that possibility. If Bill rejoins either we get him back on our team and we have to endure his tyranny again or he gets on another team and he sends us to kingdom come.”
Torch God: “...YEAH UH LET’S NOT DWELL ON THAT JUST YET”
Plankton: “Guess I’m next.”
Plankton looks to the Knight.
Plankton: “Who attacked us during the first challenge?”
The Knight makes simple drawings of Kris, Flowey, and the iconic Golurk-turned-flower-pot. Plankton nods in approval.
Artificer: “Back to me… Plankton. What was the total amount of votes received at today’s elimination?”
This seems to put Plankton in a pinch. He completely guesses the number.
Plankton: “...Thirty?”
Artificer looks at him disappointedly. The other three members also cast their gazes upon him.
Artificer: “Wrong. Looks like we know who the faker is… Thank the iterators, this has gotten irritating to endure.”
The team is teleported out of the room, but instead of Plankton, the person present is… Charlie.
Charlie the Unicorn: “Dammit, and I somehow managed to pull it off pretty well.”
Koe slides in.
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “NNIT has snagged second! Good job, guys. Bad job, Charlie.”
Charlie the Unicorn: “Thanks for rubbing it in.”
Koe slides out of frame.
Artificer: “Well, good game and all, but… I’m concerned how you knew so much.”
Plasma Ball: “Yeah, that was all fairly restricted stuff that unless you somehow managed to peep in on every single little thing you shouldn't've been able to know it.”
Charlie the Unicorn: “There’s a theater in the building where you can watch the past episodes, among other things. I accidentally binged the entire thing a couple nights ago because I was sleep-deprived.”
Flashback to Charlie in said theater a couple nights ago, watching I am a Tree. The screen is currently playing the scene where Bill’s eye gets taken out by N.
Charlie the Unicorn: “Thank god my death wasn’t nearly as brutal.”
Flashback end.
Torch God: “THAT’S SLIGHTLY CONCERNING”
Charlie the Unicorn: “Yeah, I have my concerns about it too. Probably don’t tell anyone about it, though, you’ll likely doom a lot of things.”
Charlie walks off, leaving NNIT to contemplate the potential outcomes of being able to access every previous episode.
Torch God: “YEAH WE SHOULD FOLLOW HIS ADVICE AND NOT TELL ANYONE”
The other three members nod in agreement.
Cut to CF. The team seems to have finished playing URAADV: The Board Game, and is now playing UNO. Oh boy.
Flowey: “Oh my FUCKING god STOP playing +4s every single time!”
Ploque: “It’s not our faults that they keep happening to affect you-”
Flowey: “At this point it feels like it is! Plus, you’re not even allowed to stack them in the regular game! Why did we decide that it was a good idea to allow it?!”
Amelia: “I think most people do that anyway-”
Flowey: “Well then most people SUCK.”
N: “Waitwaitwait, aren’t we getting a bit too heated-”
Flowey: “Shut your mouth Mr. Won-In-The-First-Ten-Minutes.”
Kris writes ‘flowey please just draw the cards so we can continue’.
Flowey: “Ugh. Fine.”
Flowey draws eight cards. The next turn goes to Wheatley.
Wheatley: “Oh, no, not again, I don’t have any blue cards.”
Pizza Steve: “You’ve had no blue cards for the past few turns…”
Wheatley: “Yeah, it’s a bit freaky how it keeps landing on blue whenever it’s my turn, but I’m sure I’ll get lucky eventually! Ha ha…”
Wheatley’s laugh is hollow, as if he isn’t all too sure in his own words. He draws a card, and puts it down - a blue 4.
Okay, Stanley, put down the- No, NOT that card. The other on- that one isn’t even applicable. Do you… do you even know how to play UNO?
N: “Stanley, do you need help?”
He does. Please help him because I can’t do so without half my nerves popping.
N: “Yeesh, that sounds bad.”
…I’m exaggerating, N.
N: “Ohhhhh, okay!”
Beat.
N: “Oh right I’m supposed to be helping!”
N helps Stanley put down a card - a blue 9. Kris writes ‘is that allowed’.
Amelia: “Well, N already won… so it should be fine…”
Wheatley: “I’d say it’s a legal move, personally!”
Kris writes ‘well alright then guess it’s fine’. Next, it’s Pizza Steve’s turn. He puts a green 9 down.
Wheatley: “Oh, finally, free from blue-”
Kris quickly puts down a wild card. They write ‘blue’.
Wheatley: “...Kris. You’re killing me here, bud.”
Kris shrugs in a ‘that’s how it is’ way. Next to go is Ploque, who puts down a blue +2. Amelia also puts down a +2, red this time.
Flowey: “OH MY GOD I SAID STOP-”
Flowey stops himself, realizing something. He grins evilly.
Flowey: “Actually… nevermind! Finally! I can take revenge!”
Flowey puts down a yellow +2.
Wheatley: “Oh, dagnabbit.”
Cut to RCoKJ. Donkey and King Julien are still working on their crackpot theories. Carl is… sawing a cabinet in half for some reason?... and Not-Rocket is still just sitting in the corner. Spider-Ham is pacing on the side of the room when he has the sudden feeling of something coming towards him. He quickly turns around and kicks the projectile upwards - one of Rocket’s rockets? Not-Rocket seems to have been fumbling with his rocket launcher before accidentally shooting it.
Rocket?: “...That wasn’t intentional.”
Donkey: “How do you accidentally do that?”
King Julien: “Seems suspicious to me… how do we not know you are…”
King Julien: “The faker!”
Among Us sound effect plays.
Donkey: “Yeah, yeah, I agree, totally seems suspicious!”
Rocket: “Wh-”
Carl: “No, I’m sure this was an accident. I’ve accidentally blown up people before. And half-accidentally. Sometimes on purpose.”
Spider-Ham tries to think what the best choice would be - siding with Donkey and King Julien or Carl and Rocket. However, he does come to a conclusion…
Spider-Ham: “I think it’s possible…”
Not-Rocket looks appalled.
Rocket?: “Eh- it was an accident!!!”
However, it’s too late, because the team is teleported out, but instead of Rocket, Flowey appears.
Flowey: “...Fucking hell.”
King Julien: “And just like that, we’ve cleared out the impostor among us!”
Donkey: “Woohoo, yeah!”
Spider-Ham: “Hopefully Rocket’s doing a good job wherever he is, at leas-”
Spider-Ham sees Rocket in the distance.
Spider-Ham: “...that sucks.”
Koe then slides in.
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “Looks like you folks have finished third!”
Donkey: “Aw, dang, we didn’t get first!”
King Julien: “Well, look at it this way, my loyal subject - we didn’t get last either, did we?”
Donkey: “Oh, yeah, fair point. Guess it’s not all too bad, then!”
Flowey slides over to Carl.
Flowey: “ What the hell was that performance?! You barely stood up for me! ”
Carl: “ I thought I did a pretty good job. ”
Flowey: “ Yeah, well, not good enough! …Though at least you didn’t turn on me, so I guess I can give kudos for that. ”
Flowey: “ Anyways, regardless of that stupid outcome, I’ll still agree to the alliance. ”
Carl: “ That’s good. ”
Cut to Enderman, walking through IDIOT’s hallway. They come to a stop at Test Tube’s room, and look around for a moment, before teleporting in. They then walk over to the closet and open it, revealing a whole lotta materials for inventions. Enderman takes a lot of them out and begins tinkering with them, clearly trying to make something. However, their work is interrupted by Test Tube opening the door.
Test Tube: “...”
Enderman almost turns to stare in response, but quickly realizes that’s a stupid idea. They instead swiftly try to teleport out, but Test Tube grabs their arm, forcing herself to go along to where Enderman teleports - which is their own room. Enderman is clearly confused.
Test Tube: “Look, if you think I’m mad at you for messing with my stuff, I’m not. …Okay, maybe a little bit mad, but that’s not important. I just want to know why you were doing that…”
Enderman looks to the side and puts their arms on their hips, trying to seem inconspicuous.
Test Tube: “...Plus, you also could’ve asked me to do it instead of trying it without any experience.”
This seems to hit Enderman, as they let their arms droop down. They put a pumpkin on their head and pull out a spare sign, placing it down. The text on it reads:
‘I’ve gotten tired of trying to say what I want to say to others, and nobody understanding me. And I want to be able to make eye contact without having to sacrifice my vision. It’s probably nothing I can do, but I at least wanted to try and fix these things because it’s CLEARLY not normal and I don’t want to feel isolated just because of things I can’t control about myself.’
Test Tube looks distraught about Enderman’s worries, now perfectly understanding what they were trying to accomplish.
Test Tube: “I… see. I understand why you didn’t ask me now…”
A somber silence fills the room, as Test Tube doesn’t know how to continue the conversation. Enderman eventually sighs and opens the door for Test Tube to leave, being under the assumption she can’t or won’t do anything further.
Test Tube: “Wait- I can try to do something for you…”
Enderman slowly closes the door, seeing that Test Tube does genuinely want to help.
Test Tube: “Science Bear has these translator things that can turn any language into one understandable by those around them… so you should be able to talk properly if he makes one. I dunno about the vision thing but I can try making some sort of goggles that let you see through them but also allow you to make eye contact.”
Enderman nods silently, appreciative of Test Tube’s willingness to help… but then they tilt their head, seemingly asking why Test Tube is offering this.
Test Tube: “I feel bad for not realizing this sooner. For nobody realizing, really.”
Enderman seems to freak out at this, trying to say that Test Tube doesn’t have to feel bad about anything.
Test Tube: “But-But I keep letting people get hurt, physically or emotionally! And I want to try and stop that… because I’ve experienced it too, even if accidentally, and to inflict that on others - accidental or intentional - is something I don’t want to do!”
Test Tube raises her voice.
Test Tube: “ I don’t want to screw things up again! ”
Enderman covers their non-existent ears, off-put by the loudness of Test Tube’s speech. They then slowly put their arms down, seeing that Test Tube has at least slightly calmed down…
Test Tube: “...I’m sorry.”
Enderman pats Test Tube on the head, trying to tell her that she doesn’t need to feel sorry and her feelings are justified. The point gets across a little bit, but Test Tube is definitely still self-loathing. Enderman picks up the sign they placed earlier and replaces the text.
‘I understand what you feel. But you don’t need to apologize for everything and do favors just because you think you’ve done something wrong. Accidents are accidents, Test Tube, and in the end, you’re not the one to blame - if anything, it should be me, as I never said anything to anybody about this until now.’
Before Test Tube can respond, Enderman replaces the text again.
‘And please don’t try to refute this - I don’t want you to beat yourself up over it just because I was too afraid to say anything.’
Test Tube: “But- But I’ve done the same thing! I kept myself locked up in my room, and never expressed my feelings to anyone, not even Blue… and now I feel wrong for gaining sympathy for something which I shouldn’t be getting sympathy for!”
Enderman sighs, before replacing the text on the sign one last time.
‘Everyone makes mistakes, Test Tube. All you need to do is just improve yourself, and I’m sure you’ll be able to pull yourself back up. Don’t hate yourself just because of this.’
Test Tube goes silent for a moment before responding.
Test Tube: “...Alright. I should… talk to Blue. I haven’t told him a thing…”
Enderman nods, before reopening the door. Test Tube begins to walk out, but before she leaves completely, she turns around and says one last thing.
Test Tube: “Thank you.”
Enderman writes ‘Anything for a friend’. Test Tube then leaves, and Enderman slowly closes their door.
Cut to BFDI. Red is still drawing on the chalkboard, while the other four members are stuck doing nothing.
Blocky: “Wow, this is taking a hell of a long time.”
Squid: “Maybe it’s because of his lack of brain capaci-”
Blocky: “Okay that’s a bit too far.”
Squid: “Am I wrong?!”
Blocky: “...”
Blocky puts his thumb up to his chin, thinking.
Blocky: “...Probably not, realistically.”
Tree-y: “♪ i think we should be a bit nicer to he ♪”
Squid: “What has he done that deserves that?”
Blocky: “Well, he’s actually helping this challenge, at least, so I guess you could say that could be a factor.”
Squid: “And what about every single previous challenge? Plus, how do we know this is even going to work? It could easily send us down the path of failure in an instant.”
Before anyone can respond, Red flips around his chalkboard for the team to see.
Red: “Here’s who I think the faker is.”
The detail in Red’s work is astoundingly great, pointing out every single little thing that makes someone more or less suspicious. It pinpoints Nikoly as the number one suspect due to him having the most evidence.
Blocky: “Works for me!”
Tree-y: “♪ i agree thats my decree ♪”
Nikoly: “Hey, uh, hold on a little moment…”
Squid is left completely appalled at how Red, of all people, beat him at figuring out who the faker is. He begins to say something, but then resigns.
Squid: “Ugh. You win this round, Red. I’ll side with you for once.”
The team is teleported out of the room, revealing that Red was actually right! However, instead of Nikoly, Plankton appears.
Plankton: “Barnacles! At least I actually got far, but, how the hell’d you manage to pick up on so many minor things?!”
Red: “I have… experience.”
Squid floats over to Plankton, mad.
Squid: “How did you know our plan?!”
Plankton: “I’m not telling you a single thi-”
Squid kills Plankton before he can finish.
Blocky: “Lmao.”
Koe slides in again - however instead of like a normal slide he kinda just scoots over completely still.
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “Fourth to figure out the faker! That’s a lot of Fs. Anyways, good job not getting the disadvantage.”
Koe then slides out of frame.
Red: “...That was weird.”
Silence for a moment, before Tree-y speaks up.
Tree-y: “♪ so if nikoly was fake and hes not here in this plane ♪”
Tree-y motions to around the area, where Nikoly is not present.
Tree-y: “♪ and we’re the last team safe has he won the game ♪”
Squid: “Likely so. At least there’s some silver living to this outcome.”
Speaking of Nikoly, cut to CF. They’re still playing board games. Wheatley then seems to have a sudden realization.
Wheatley: “Hey, lads, we’re… supposed to be doing a challenge, right?”
Pizza Steve: “Oh yeah… what was that again?”
Oh my god- Did you all seriously forget?! …You too, Stanley?! I’m not even mad, just… disappointed.
N: “Well, in our defense, we did get really engrossed in playing.”
Ploque: “We probably should’ve focused on the challenge first and foremost, though.”
N: “...Yeah, that’s true, we should have.”
Amelia: “Hopefully we can figure it out quickly since we’re behind…”
Wheatley: “I think we’ll be fi-”
The team is teleported out the room. However, instead of Flowey, Nikoly appears.
Wheatley: “-ne… I spoke too soon, didn’t I?”
Nikoly: “So, how’d you guys like my acting?”
N and Pizza Steve clap in applause for Nikoly’s acting skills.
Amelia: “...You know this means we lost, right…”
The two stop.
N: “Oh.”
Pizza Steve: “Right, yeah, sorry.”
Flowey pops out of the ground.
Flowey: “Seriously?! You guys failed?!”
Wheatley: “Hey, it’s not entirely our faul-”
Flowey: “That means it’s at least partly your fault and therefore I can remain angry at you idiots.”
Kris writes ‘calm down flowey’.
Flowey: “Hey, I am justified here, y’know-”
Koe rolls in, crushing Flowey.
Flowey: “FUCKING HELL OW.”
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “Ooh, sorry, Flowey…”
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “Anyways, uh, you guys lost! Rip. You’ll be the ones receiving a disadvantage.”
Ploque: “Damn…”
Well, at least we’re not up for elimination, so there’s that at least. But this still sucks.
Pizza Steve: “Mhm, yeah, it does.”
Flowey: “Who the hell are you responding to?”
Pizza Steve: “...Right, we have to explain again…”
As Pizza Steve begins to explain the whole Narrator thing to Flowey, the focus shifts over to Koe.
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “Alright, viewers! This time around, instead of your typical voting, we’ll be having a rejoin! Furthermore, you’ll be able to suggest a disadvantage for Cool Friends to receive in the next episode. Without further ado, let’s get into the rejoin auditions to show you who you can vote to return to the game!”
Koe snaps, transitioning to the rejoin auditions.
CUT
The room is a plain white room with a single chair and a counter in front. Golurk is barely fitting in the chair. It groans something incomprehensible, seemingly angry.
CUT
Bowser is standing behind the chair.
Bowser: “You better let me back in! I got unfairly eliminated - Bill should’ve gotten out instead of me, but no, I got out because of some stupid vote swap! Plus, being stuck in here with that asshole Boss is slowly making me go insane.”
CUT
King Dedede sits in the chair, his hammer to his side.
King Dedede: “I got out pretty dang early, and I wanna take a second shot at things! Who knows, maybe my second inning will get me a helluva lot farther!”
CUT
Boss floats in front of the chair.
Boss: “THIS PLACE IS HELL.”
CUT
Woodie and Lucy share the seat. Even though Lucy realistically wouldn’t need to be sitting, but whatever.
Woodie: “We got out just cause that host messed something up and made us do a double elimination! How unfair is that?”
Lucy: “And there’s no trees to chop here either! It’s just sad.”
CUT
Hyehehe does the griddy for some godforsaken reason. There’s abrasive text on the screen reading ‘VOTE HYEHEHE FOR PRESIDENT 2024’.
CUT
Glendale is awkwardly sitting in the chair.
Glendale: “Uhh… I really don’t care if I return or not… if you want you can vote for me, I guess?”
CUT
Bill Cipher sits in the chair, twirling a cane with his right arm.
Bill Cipher: “Hey. Losers. I know you wanted me to do more. And y’know what? If you let me back in the game, I’ll comply with your stupid demands. I’ll make sure none of those idiot contestants forget my name for the rest of their lives! So you BETTER VOTE ME OR I’LL-”
CUT
Warrior sits in the chair, sword in hand.
Warrior: “I’d like to get back into the game so I can continue competing! And there’s nobody to fight here, anyways, they’re all either super strong or super weak.”
Warrior pauses for a moment, before looking to the side.
Warrior: “...Plus I kinda miss Charles….”
CUT
A cardboard cutout of Lamb is in front of the chair. Text on the screen reads:
‘Unfortunately, Lamb was found dead in the back of an alleyway in Brooklyn* and is therefore not eligible for voting.
*He did not actually die this way, but it’d be funnier if he did.’
CUT
Sundew stands in front of the chair, arms resting on the counter.
Sundew: “Look, if anything, I’d rather you not vote me in.”
CUT
Nacho screams for a solid 15 seconds.
CUT
The screen cuts back to Koe, sitting inside his office.
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “And those were all the contestants eligible for rejoin! Besides Lamb. I don’t know why we gave him one. Anyways, go ahead and vote now!”
VOTING LINK: [ENDED]
At night, outside the main building, Blue is building what looks like a garden. It’s not all too big at the moment, however Blue seems to be quickly making progress. As he builds, Test Tube walks in as the screen slowly moves upwards to show Plasma Ball looking out her window at the garden.
Plasma Ball: “Why the hell at 12 in the morning…”
Plasma Ball moves away from the window and flops onto her bed.
Plasma Ball: “Guess I’m not doing any better, though, considering I’m still up too.”
The slugpup crawls over to Plasma Ball, tilting its head to ask what she’s talking about.
Plasma Ball: “Nothing, just talking to myself.”
The slugpup seems to accept this answer, before hopping into her bed and curling up into a ball to sleep.
Plasma Ball: “I should sleep too… Good night, then.”
The slugpup chirps in response.
Notes:
yay rejoin time
btw if you don't understand why lamb's not eligible for the rejoin it's cause he died permanently and will not be brought back
Chapter 13: Episode 13 - Order Ready for Takeout, and Not the Food Kind
Notes:
(See the end of the chapter for notes.)
Chapter Text
The episode starts at 3 in the morning, with Flowey hoisting himself and Carl up the side of the outside wall of the building using vines. The two are brought up to the window of Blocky’s room.
Flowey: “Alright, remember the plan?”
Carl nods.
Flowey: “Good, cause if we fuck this up we are totally screwed.”
Flowey silently cuts open the window, letting it fall to the ground. He then sneaks himself and Carl in. Carl walks over to Blocky’s bed, where said block is sleeping. And you wanna guess what Carl does? That’s right, he fucking saws Blocky in half. And steals one of the two halves. I mean, this is Carl we’re talking about, is it really that surprising? Meanwhile, Flowey is scouring through Blocky’s belongings. He eventually comes across the book of truths, and tests it out quickly.
Flowey: “Yep, that’s the book. Now it’s time to burn this fucker to the ground. Carl, hand me the fire-proof gloves and the lighter.”
Carl: “On it, boss.”
Carl hands said gloves and lighter to Flowey.
Flowey: “Don’t call me boss.”
Flowey turns on the lighter and lights the book, letting it burn to ashes. Only a shred of a page remains, which falls to the ground alongside the burnt corpse of the poor book.
Flowey: “Now let’s get out of here before someone wakes up and decides we’re going to be the next thing burning.”
Carl: “Got it.”
Carl and Flowey flings themselves out the now-glassless window, crashing all the way down to the ground. Somehow, both of them survive the fall.
Flowey: “Yes! Hahahaha! Those fuckers won’t know what’s hit them until they’re already WAILING in their sorro-”
Someone from in the rooms throws a book straight onto Flowey’s head, supposedly telling him to shut up.
Flowey: “OW.”
Time skip to morning. Many of the contestants are eating breakfast in the cafeteria. The screen zooms in on Plasma Ball sitting at a table with the slugpup, having various foods on the side. The slugpup is inspecting the foods.
Plasma Ball: “If you’re not going to eat, just say so…”
N: “Hey, since when’d you become a mom?”
N pops up behind Plasma Ball, scaring her and causing her to accidentally slap N in the face, which makes his head spin 540 degrees.
Plasma Ball: “Gah- Didn’t mean to slap you but why the hell’d you sneak up on me?!”
N fixes his head.
N: “Oh, sorry, it’s just that usually when I do that people greet me normally!”
Plasma Ball: “Clearly you’re being conditioned to thinking that’s normal. Anyways, to answer your question, this is not my child. This kid spawned in from a vote reason and now my team has to watch over them for the time being.”
N: “I see!”
The slugpup crawls up to N and chirps, not knowing who he is.
N: “Oh, hi there, bud!”
N pats the slugpup. They look happy.
N: “So what’re you doing with the kid right now?”
Plasma Ball: “Trying to see what they will and won’t eat. But they aren’t touching it at all for some reason…”
N: “Maybe they don’t know what this food is?”
Plasma Ball: “Possibly…”
The slugpup nods, confirming.
Plasma Ball: “Alright, then. Guess I’ll just need to teach them, then.”
N: “Hey, wait, has your team not named them?”
Plasma Ball: “...”
Plasma Ball: “Didn’t come to mind…”
The slugpup stares at Plasma Ball, a bit disappointed.
Plasma Ball: “Hey, look, I’ve got a lot to deal with already! If you’re that mad about it, we can go to Artificer after breakfast and figure out how and what to name you.”
The slugpup looks happy about this.
N: “Good for you, Plasma Ball, you’re already doing a good job as a mother!”
Plasma Ball: “I already told you they’re not my child.”
A few of the BFDI members pass by the table N, Plasma Ball and the slugpup are at. Squid glances over, notices Plasma Ball, and scowls at her for a moment before looking away. The slugpup tilts their head in confusion, and N is equally confused.
N: “What was that about?”
Plasma Ball: “I’m surprised you hadn’t noticed before but my team and Blocky’s team pretty much hate each other.”
N: “...Why?”
Plasma Ball: “Long story short, in the second challenge three of their members sabotaged us, then in the third challenge Bill made us fight them as a revenge, and now we’re stuck in this stupid rivalry.”
N: “Sounds rough!”
Plasma Ball: “You got that right… Honestly, I don’t even care about the whole rivalry thing, I dislike them purely because they’re asshats to everyone, including their own members.”
N: “Well, they can be jer- Wait, their own members?”
Plasma Ball: “According to Plankton, at least, yes, Blocky and Squid were slinging every insult they could make at another of their members - who hadn’t even done anything wrong .”
N: “Yikes, that’s… wow. I can understand if they disliked a fellow teammate but isn’t that… too far?”
Plasma Ball: “That’s what I said. If anything, it makes my hatred for them justified.”
N: “Well, I’ll… keep that in mind then! I should probably be heading back to my team now. Talk again sometime?”
Plasma Ball: “Guess I wouldn’t mind.”
N: “Sweet!”
N walks away. The slugpup waves bye.
Cut to the BFDI members mentioned earlier - Nikoly, Squid, and Tree-y, to be exact - in their team’s hallway. Squid is visibly impatient.
Squid: “Where the hell is Blocky?!”
Nikoly: “Mighta slept in or something?”
Nikoly shrugs.
Tree-y: “♪ that could be but we’ll have to see ♪”
Nikoly: “Why not ask Red? He could know something! Maybe! Who knows.”
Squid: “As much as I’d rather not, I suppose that’d be the best option.”
Squid floats over to Red’s room and slaps the door off its hinges, almost smacking Red in the face.
Red: “Hey, what was that for?!”
Squid: “There was a high chance you wouldn’t do anything if I hadn’t done that. Anyways, do you know where Blocky is?”
Red: “No, the only person I’ve seen today is Blue… Why are you asking me, anyways?”
Squid: “Nikoly’s idea.”
Nikoly waves.
Tree-y: “♪ so if red doesnt know where do we go ♪”
Nikoly: “Now I’m really getting the impression he overslept!”
Squid: “That’s likely our best option if this isn’t working. Red, you go get him.”
Red: “Why me?-”
Squid: “Because I fucking said so. ”
Red whimpers as he scurries over to Blocky’s door. He somehow manages to use his hand as a lockpick to open it, and immediately he screams at the sight of one half of Blocky lying on his bed.
Squid: “What the hell are you freaking out about?!”
Red: “H- He- He’s-”
Squid: “He’s what???”
Nikoly spins over to look in, and he goes from :D to D:
Nikoly: “Oh boy that ain’t good.”
Nikoly turns to Squid and Tree-y.
Nikoly: “Someone assassinated Blocky!”
Squid: “WHAT.”
Tree-y: “♪ that’s terrible and unacceptable ♪”
Squid and Tree-y come over, and alongside Nikoly and Red, they enter the room to look for clues.
Red: “Why would someone do this?... How, even?”
Nikoly: “...Didn’t you just turn your hand into a lockpick?”
Tree-y: “♪ thats not a normal skill also he wouldnt kill ♪”
Nikoly: “Oh, yeah, good point!”
Squid: “I have some suspicions…”
Nikoly: “Throw ‘em at us, then, Squid!”
Squid: “Considering Plankton was able to figure out our plans, it’s likely that at least he knows about the book. It’s plausible that whoever did this aimed to either steal or destroy the book.”
Nikoly: “Oh, so I guess that’s what this shred of burnt paper on the ground is.”
Nikoly holds up said shred of burnt paper, which does indeed come from the book.
Squid: “...”
Red: “That’s some karma, huh…”
Tree-y: “♪ but how will we discover who committed the murder ♪”
Squid: “Yes, there’s not enough evidence for us to know who did it. For all we know, knowledge of the book could’ve spread across any number of people.”
Nikoly: “Well, we can rule out ourselves, at least!”
Squid: “That’s clear as fucking day.”
Nikoly: “...”
Nikoly: “I guess that’s true…”
Squid: “You guess ?”
Squid groans, then turns to Red.
Squid: “You. You have experience with this, right?”
Red: “Eh- yes, yes, I do…”
Squid: “Figure out who did it by tonight.”
Red: “With how many people there are it’s gonna take longer than tha-”
Squid: “ Do it. ”
Red: “Eep- Okay I will!!!”
Red runs off, afraid of Squid’s wrath.
Nikoly: “Don’t you go a little too hard on him?...”
Squid: “I have no time to deal with weaklings. Especially not in this kind of situation.”
Nikoly: “Fair enough, I guess?...”
Cut to the video gaming room. N and Wheatley are playing a game where you use robots with weapons and upgrades to fight enemies, which are also robots. Don’t ask how Wheatley is using a controller, I dunno either.
N: “Hey, Wheatley?”
Wheatley: “Yes?”
N: “Is it just me or is there a weird sense of deja vu in us playing this?”
Wheatley: “Hm…”
Wheatley: “I don’t feel anything!”
N: “Must be my imagination, then!”
Flowey and Kris enter the room.
Flowey: “Hey! What are you two doing?!”
N: “We’re… playing a video game?...”
Flowey: “Yeah, well, it’s me and Kris’s allotted gaming time.”
Kris looks at Flowey, confused about the existence of an allotted gaming time. They write ‘if they’re already playing we can just let them play’.
Wheatley: “When were there specific times for playing, anyways? I don’t remember that!”
Flowey: “I wrote it on this schedule that I didn’t bother to give anyone.”
Flowey holds up said schedule that he didn’t bother to give anyone.
Wheatley: “Well, then that would explain why we didn’t know about it!”
Why do you need a schedule anyways?
N: “Yeah, I agree, Narra- wait, since when were you here?!”
The screen turns to show Stanley in the corner of the room. He waves.
N: “Ohhhh, okay!”
Ploque enters the room.
Ploque: “Why’s everyone on our team coming in here?...”
Flowey: “Wh- I came in here first, and now everyone’s just gonna stroll in for no reason?!”
Amelia: “I guess…”
Flowey: “Wh-”
Pizza Steve: “Hey dudes, I felt some strange force calling me here.”
Flowey: “Gh-”
Kyle: “Hi.”
Flowey: “WHO THE FUCK IS KYLE???”
There is no Kyle. Flowey was just hearing things. And seeing things.
Ploque: “...You good?”
Flowey: “I have no damn clue anymore.”
Cut to RCoKJ. Instead of their usual meeting location of the cafeteria, they're inside a more specifically meeting-oriented room.
Spider-Ham: “So… what's up with the new room?”
King Julien: “I had the realization that staying in the cafeteria would mean people could listen in on our plans and prevent us from completing them!”
Spider-Ham: “Ah, makes sense!”
King Julien: “Anyways, there’s a topic I wanted to discuss today - which is getting more people into the kingdom! Since the whole Lamb incident, we haven’t had much luck in gaining new citizens, so I wanted to discuss plans to do so!”
Donkey: “Hey, I gotta idea - what if we ask whoever’s returning to the competition if they wanna join?”
King Julien: “Brilliant!”
Rocket: “Uh… what if they… don’t like us, though?”
King Julien: “...”
King Julien: “...We’ll cross that bridge when we get to it!”
Carl: “I think he has a point. That could happen. So we should kill them if they don’t agree to join-”
Spider-Ham: “Hey, no, we can’t do that! That’d be stooping to Lamb’s level!”
Carl: “Oh, I guess it would be, yeah.”
Spider-Ham: “...You… didn’t notice?...”
Carl: “Sometimes even I am blind to the truth.”
Rocket: “I don’t think it’s just sometimes…”
Donkey: “Hey, wait, speaking of Lamb - hasn’t his whole ‘kill everyone’ thing basically screwed over our chances of getting new people?”
King Julien: “Unfortunately, I believe you are right, Donkey. Quite a shame!”
Rocket: “I have a backup idea, then, what if we try to build trust with the other teams?”
King Julien: “That could work…”
Spider-Ham: “But who? We’ve basically screwed over our chances with IDIOT for the time being since they were Lamb’s biggest target, and Not Naming It That isn’t viable either…”
Donkey: “Oh, I know! How about Cool Friends?”
Carl: “I agree. Not because I have any bias or something like that.”
Rocket: “...That makes it sound like you do, though?...”
King Julien: “I think that’s a splendid plan! So, who wants to take the bull by the horns and ask them?”
Spider-Ham: “I could give it a go.”
Carl: “Same here.”
King Julien: “Good, good! Donkey, what about you?”
Donkey: “Nah, I’d rather help out with domestic affairs!”
King Julien nods.
King Julien: “Understandable! And Rocket?”
Rocket: “No thanks… I’d want to, but…”
He looks to the side.
Rocket: “Ploque’s there, and I’m worried on how she’d feel about it, so I don’t want to participate…”
King Julien: “Well, fair enough, then. I won’t force you into it.”
Spider-Ham: “So when do we start?”
King Julien: “Whenever you please, but ideally as soon as you can!”
Carl: “Sounds good.”
Spider-Ham nods in agreement with Carl.
Cut to the NNIT hallway. Plasma Ball, slugpup resting on her head, walks to Artificer’s room and knocks on the door. After a short while, Artificer gets over to the door and opens it.
Artificer: “What is it?”
Plasma Ball: “Just wanted to talk about things.”
Artificer: “Fine with me.”
Artificer lets Plasma Ball and the slugpup into her room. It’s… unique?... for lack of a kinder word to describe it. In not-kind words, it looks like a solitary cell in a prison, except somehow worse than that, actually. There isn’t even anywhere to sleep but the floor.
Plasma Ball: “...Interesting… room design…”
Artificer: “It’s what I’m used to. I know most prefer more luxury, but I’ve lived with the barebones long enough that anything else feels weird.”
Artificer sits down on the floor.
Artificer: “I know you didn’t come here to talk to me about how my room looks, though. What do you need?”
Plasma Ball sits down too, as the slugpup hops down into her lap.
Plasma Ball: “I realized earlier that we don’t have a name for this kid at all and I don’t know what the naming conventions or whatever of the species you and them are… and also they won’t eat anything, so I figured you could help with that too.”
Artificer: “For the food thing, I’ll help with that later, but for the naming… Typically, us slugcats are named based on our abilities or personalities. Though it’s also not common for a slugpup to be named until a good while after they’re born. Though, if I’m right in assuming that you’re asking this because of someone else not knowing what to call them, then it’d likely be better to name them now sooner than later.”
Plasma Ball: “...I don’t follow.”
Artificer: “Figured. Let me handle the whole process, then.”
The slugpup tilts their head, seemingly asking what exactly is happening.
Artificer: “Don’t fret, kid, it’s just a simple examination to see what name would fit. Now… Plasma Ball, are there any noticeable traits about them that could give pointers to a suitable name?”
Plasma Ball: “Not really, besides the fact that they’re quiet and they haven’t eaten anything… though I was also told by someone it’s probably just because they aren’t familiar with the food the cafeteria makes.”
Artificer: “The food issue’s probably because slugpups need simple foods, and your best chance with that is those found where they come from.”
Artificer: “As for the quiet part, slugpups can’t speak right away, it takes some time. This kid’s probably close to the right age, but they’re still not there yet, so they won’t be talking for a good while.”
Plasma Ball: “...That leaves practically nothing, then, does it?”
Artificer: “Well, I’m sure there’ll be an opportunity to give them a proper name-”
Artificer is interrupted by shouting outside.
Plankton: “LIKE HELL I KNOW!”
Plasma Ball: “...”
Artificer: “I swear to the iterators…”
Artificer opens up her door to look into the hall.
Artificer: “What the rot’s going on out here?”
In the hallway is Plankton and Red, the former angry at the latter.
Plankton: “This guy’s accusing us of burning their stupid book or something! Which I didn't , by the way!”
Red: “I wasn’t accusing, just asking…”
Artificer: “Look, Plankton, I’ll deal with this. Red, explain.”
Red: “So sometime between last night and today, Blocky got killed in his room and a book he had in his room-”
Artificer: “Book of truths?”
Red: “...Yeah… It got burned practically to a crisp. So now I have to ask around to see who might've done it.”
Artificer: “I see… Personally, your attention is best suited focusing on other teams. Even if we have a rivalry, and already knew about the book, most of us wouldn't take the risk, and those who would would’ve said something beforehand.”
Red: “...I’ll take your word for now, I guess…”
Red walks away. Torch God exits from their room soon after.
Torch God: “WHAT WAS THAT ABOUT”
Artificer: “Blocky’s team’s book got destroyed by someone.”
Torch God: “KARMA”
Cut to everyone on IDIOT - excluding Science Bear - sitting and eating breakfast in the IDIOT hallway. Notably, Enderman seems to be wearing some sort of glasses.
Charles: “Feels nice to not have any more tension!”
Blue and Enderman nod in agreement. Charlie gives no reaction.
Test Tube: “Yeah, it's good that we’ve cleared everything up! I can finally de-stress.”
Charles takes a bite out of a waffle, then looks around.
Charles: “Hey… where's Science Bear?”
Charlie the Unicorn: “In his room, likely. He’s been holing himself up in there for the past, what, two weeks? I swear, I doubt he’s ever heard of the idea of overworking…”
Blue confirms Charlie’s claim, and expresses worry for Science Bear. In response, Enderman gets up - having already finished their breakfast - and teleports over to Science Bear’s room, knocking on the door.
Science Bear: “I’ll be there shortly.”
After a short while, Science Bear comes over to the door and opens it.
Science Bear: “Ah, Enderman. What may you need from me? If it’s about the translator, I’m just about done with it-”
Enderman puts a hand on Science Bear’s shoulder and raises up a sign with the other. The sign reads ‘PLEASE STOP OVERWORKING YOURSELF. ONCE YOU’RE DONE GET SOME REST, DON’T WORRY ABOUT COMPETING IN TODAY’S CHALLENGE I’LL TELL KOE’.
Science Bear: “Ha, well, I suppose I may have been working a bit too much - but, please don't worry about me, Enderman. This is merely me paying the debt I have. Plus, I’ve been getting enough sleep to recharge my energy.”
Enderman sighs, then edits the text sign. ‘IF YOU INSIST, THEN. BUT PLEASE TAKE IT EASY FOR THE NEXT FEW DAYS, AT LEAST’.
Science Bear: “I can compromise on that.”
Science Bear: “Oh, while you’re here, you can stay, since as I said earlier, it is almost complete.”
Enderman nods, finally entering the room. After a short time skip, Science Bear has finished the translator.
Science Bear: “That should be the finishing touches. Here, try it out.”
Science Bear gives the translator to Enderman, who attaches it to their body. They then try to test it.
Enderman: “...Testing.”
Enderman grins, happy with the outcome.
Enderman: “Oh, finally! Thank you, Science Bear!”
Science Bear: “I’m in no need of praise, but you’re welcome regardless.”
Cut to Koe in his office. He’s watching YAECER 5 on a computer.
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “Heh heh. Guns.”
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “...Y’know, watching this makes me think about what happened to the second season… wasn’t it building up Bill to be a big bad or something? Why’d he just disappear?...”
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “...that wasn’t my fault, right?”
Koe begins to have a very dark realization, but it’s cut off by an alarm for the rejoin appearing on his screen. He pauses his computer and closes it.
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “Alright, I can think about the consequences of my actions later, there are more important matters at hand!”
Koe snaps, disappearing. Cut to the inside of the THoE, which is somehow blander than the main dimension. The eleven eliminated contestants are sitting in chairs, except for Boss and Bowser, who have to stand due to their size. Some look pensive, some look excited, Sundew doesn’t give a shit, and Nacho looks like she had shrooms and zoned out completely.
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “Alright, folks, I’m sure you all know what time it is!”
No response. Then Nacho almost begins to resume her weird screaming habit, if not for Bill spraying a whole can of Flex Seal into her mouth.
Bill Cipher: “If you’re not going to shut your trap, I’ll shut it myself, twerp!”
Multiple other people look at him confusedly.
Bill Cipher: “What are you all looking at me like that for?!”
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “ How did you get that?...”
Bill Cipher: “From Home Depot. Duh.”
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “...There shouldn’t be a- y’know what, I’ll question that later, we have things to get to. So, rejoin time! I’ll start by reading out a vote reason for everyone - or, that’s what I would say, if everyone had gotten a vote.”
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “The two who were unlucky enough to get no votes happen to be Golurk-”
Golurk groans angrily.
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “-and Glendale!”
Glendale: “I know I said I was fine with not returning, but… zero votes kinda hurts…”
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “With that out of the way, I will now actually read out vote reasons. Firstly, for Bill Cipher, we have ‘Putting aside my Bill bias, he just has the most potential as a rejoiner - ADAGE’.”
Bill Cipher: “You, sir… or madam, or whatever the gender neutral term of that is- Whatever! Whoever you are, you’ve got a good eye!”
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “Next, for Boss, we have ‘Blixer Or Boss’.”
Boss: “...IF YOU’RE ASKING WHAT TO CALL ME THEN I DON’T REALLY CARE.”
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “And next one up is for Bowser… though we’ve got a bit of a long read, so I’ll split it up into sections - ‘Okay I didn’t vote last time so. Fuck it we going longish with this one.
Golurk - Golurk didn’t get much time, which to me, made sense. They weren’t the best of new individuals, but I did like their short time. I just don’t have much reason to vote for ya.’.”
Golurk seems to be… fine. With that reason.
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “‘Dedede: I… don’t really remember much of this King’s time on the show. He didn’t have as much note for me, hence my choice not to vote for him.’.”
King Dedede: “Well, darn. Guess I can’t blame ya for that, though.”
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “‘Boss: What can I say? Just not much of a JSIB fan.’.”
Boss: “WHAT IS A JSIB.”
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “‘Woodie + Lucy: TBH, I quite enjoy this duo, and while it would be cool for them to return, the issue is I have someone else I’d just prefer to return. Hopefully there might be a way to send trees to the elimination zone - trees that aren’t sentient, that is.’.”
Woodie: “Well, even if you didn't vote for us, we appreciate the kind words!”
Lucy: “Yeah, and the tree sending part! But what was that about sentient trees?”
Sundew: “It’s best if you don't know.”
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “‘Hyehehe: baby gronk says you go in the pit. Haha, okay nevermind. But yeah if Hyehehe returns, he’ll be removed swiftly. Also those eyes are STILL TERRIFYING GET AWAY FROM ME’.”
Hyehehe: “I know where you live.”
Glendale: “Please don't hunt down the voters…”
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “‘Glendale and Knight: Both of these two are my choices for the same reason - I don’t know much about either of them. The most I know of either is the existence of a certain deer of lullaby who’s time I like to associate with a silly little thing I like!’.”
Warrior: “The Knight’s not here?...”
King Dedede: “I think they meant you, kiddo.”
Warrior: “Ohhhhhhh.”
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “‘Bill: Aye. Fuck yo life. Bing bong! 🕊️🕊️🕊️🕊️🦅🦅🦅🦅🦅🕊️🕊️🕊️🦆🐥🦜🐥🦅🦜🦜🦅’.”
Bill Cipher: “Fuck yo life too. And also what the hell is it with the birds?!”
Mr. Moe Hohzd: “‘Sundew: I like listening to what people want, and it’s reasonable enough I believe I can try to oblige.’.”
Sundew: “ Thank you.”
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “‘Nacho: …I think it would be better to put them out of their misery rather than putting them back in. Plus, it’s been only one episode.’.”
The voices
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “‘and of course, my vote!
BOWSER: Dawg got voted out for no reason, I’d like him to come back. There’s a lot of potential within him, enough to the point it’s best I choose him. Let’s just hope he might get a second chance.
-paleskowitz . Maybe I’ll change my name later to match what I call myself in other voting shows but eh. Not rn’.”
Bowser: “You get my respect for being sensible and choosing the right option!”
Boss: “RIGHT MY ASS , YOU SCALY FU-”
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “Don’t fight right now, please.”
Boss: “...FINE.”
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “Anyways, our fourth reason goes to… eugh, Hyehehe. ‘As basically the only person who voted for Hyehehe to spin when they were eliminated, I feel like I owe it to 'em. Plus hyperfixations gonna hyperfixate. -Tayoga’.”
Hyehehe: “Oh, joy, joy, someone realizes how grand the great Hyehehe truly is, hyehehehehe!”
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “...Next goes to King Triple-D - ‘He's the king of the show. Your horror and hoot, he'll give your mother the boot. Dedede is the one.’.”
King Dedede: “Heh heh, yeah, you’ve got your head in the right place, anonymous voter person!-”
Sundew: “The king of the show is technically Julien now.”
King Dedede: “Hey, just you wait, Sundew, I’m sure that there’s enough folks out there to get me back in the game!”
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “Our sixth reason belongs to Nacho - ‘nacho is literally so funny they're the goat
i know in my heart they aren't gonna rejoin and i should probably vote for hyehyehye or whatever but i BELIEVE 💪💪💪’.”
Nacho cannot speak, for her mouth is forever sealed.
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “...Hey, Bill, could you… y’know… unseal her mouth?”
Bill Cipher: “You know she’ll just be screaming again, right? Not that I hate the sound normally, but she’s particularly annoying! Plus, it’s Flex Seal, it’s not coming off.”
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “...”
Bill Cipher: “Alright, fine!”
Bill crushes Nacho with his hand.
Bill Cipher: “Are you happy now?!”
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “Brutal, but… it works.”
Koe snaps and respawns Nacho, new cheese included.
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “Alright, Nacho, assuming you heard that vote reason during your mentally unstable state, how do you feel?”
Nacho: “Okay.”
Koe sighs.
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “Shoulda seen that coming. Anyways, next is Sundew. ‘She asked not to be put in! Unlike everyone else. I think it would be funny :3’.”
Sundew: “Jerk.”
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “The eighth reason goes to Warrior - ‘uhh i liked their voting reason and i think they have potential for future character interaction!!! yayayay also everyone i actually know is way too OP to rejoin. So’.”
Boss: “LITERALLY EVERYONE HERE HAS DIED I DON’T THINK THAT’S ‘TOO OP’-”
Hyehehe: “Idiot! You forgot me! I am far stronger than any of you fools!”
Boss tries crushing Hyehehe, but it dodges casually.
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “Lastly, for the tag team of Woodie and Lucy, we have ‘I think that they and bowser had unfair eliminations but that bowser doesn’t seem like a very interesting character and would probably just be a shit head to his team Where as woodie and Lucy can actually make and keep friends.
Also I really want to know how some of the eliminated characters interact with each other so if you could cutaway to the eliminated area that would be really cool.’.”
Bowser: “I have morals! Yeesh, what did I ever do to you?”
Woodie: “That might’ve been a bit harsh, but I’m glad you’re supporting us, eh, Lucy?”
Lucy: “Yep!”
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “As for the ‘showing eliminated contestants’ thing… this place is normally in stasis so we can’t quite do that.”
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “Anyways, now it’s time to reveal the votes! Four of you got just 1 vote, and those unlucky four are…”
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “Boss.”
Boss grumbles to himself.
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “Hyehehe.”
Hyehehe seems to have already floated off somewhere.
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “Nacho.”
Nacho makes a deadpan expression.
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “And Woodie and Lucy.”
Woodie huffs in disappointment.
Lucy: “Oh, come on!”
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “Now, two of you remaining five weren’t able to get to the top votes! The first of these losers are…”
Bill Cipher is super smug, Bowser looks around, King Dedede grips his hammer in anticipation, Sundew doesn’t give a shit, and Warrior is sweating.
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “Warrior, with 3 votes.”
Warrior: “Aw…”
Woodie: “Hey, at least you got more than one, kid.”
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “The second reason Warrior received reads ‘Literally every other eliminated character has zero Constitutions of the Political Republic. And to quote Johnathan Rohamny, "a warrior will always defend".’...”
Warrior: “...who’s Johnathan Rohamny?”
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “...and the third and final reason reads ‘idk mannnnn i sorta
idk atp my brain has died + sundew doesnt wanna rejoin + bro misses the man with the greatest PLAAAAANNN + fuck you nacho and bill + im not letting u back in hyehehe + idrc abt u bowser
lol
aaanyways unrelated but
its been so long(/ref) that my object show hyperfixation has essentially ended by now, tho i still like object shows ofc. say hi to my new main (but not intense like object shows were) hyperfixation phighting meaning that im constantly gonna favor rocket ove r everyone hes silly!! hes not one of my favorite phighters, but hes still one of the silliest (in a /pos way) also im one of the lore lovers of phighting so lucky me
also this is the last time im adding my current ao3 username in my signature unless i change it to embernyxtical bc old ass username eugh
lllore drop on medkit, another phighter that rocket knows through his best friend sword. medkit works for Scythe/Rifle, who is part of the Church of the True Eye and is also a serial killer. shes rlly cool
- EmberNyxtical/methkit!!!!!!! (EmberTheAlphaWolf)
also pls send this part to rocket:’... I’ll deliver it real quick.”
Koe rips off the bottom section of the reason and teleports it away. Cut to Rocket’s room, where he’s laying in bed doing nothing. The vote reason spontaneously appears on his face.
Rocket: “Ack!”
Rocket gets up quickly due to being frightened, and the paper falls down into his lap. He picks it up and reads it.
Rocket: “...‘hello its ember thank you for helping get me hyperfixated on phighting i cant stop thinking abt it iasdjdsjfb
tbh ur silly /pos’. Well, uh, you’re welcome, and thanks! And… ‘im now teleporting sword to your location you have ten minutes to hangout w him before he's sent back to wherever he was on inpherno ^-^’.”
Sword from PHIGHTING! suddenly appears in the room.
Rocket: “...Huh?”
Sword: “Where the heck’d I-”
Sword notices Rocket.
Sword: “Rocket?!”
Rocket: “...Hi???”
Cut back to the THoE.
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “Alright, for our third-to-last loser, we have…”
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “King Dedede, with 4 votes.”
King Dedede: “Aw, shoot! But hey, 4 ain’t too bad, I s’pose!”
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “Reason two reads ‘I think King Dedede deserves another chance.’.”
King Dedede: “Thanks for thinking that! Even if I’m not getting one, unfortunately.”
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “Next is ‘I kind of liked his personality tbh !!!!! and also slight bias because while I do not know Kirby much or anything related to them I know my friend does so!!!! it was a close tie with Bowser and warrior though ill admit,, sorry you guys :[ - silly g. Sill. th.
oh my ggucking shit i fucking forgot my nikcname I cannot believe thi’.”
King Dedede: “What… happened to the voting reason at the end- y’know what, doesn’t matter, I’m still happy for the vote regardless! But, say, what was that about knowing Kirby?-”
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “Finally, we have ‘Heya, first time voter here. Anyways, I had a slightly tough choice between Bowser and King Dedede. I was thinking of picking Bowser because of his, well, unfair elimination, But I picked King Dedede instead because I'm biased and I like King Dedede more. Sorry Bowser, hopefully you can persevere through... whatever rivalry you and Boss have
P.S: King Dedede, are you good friends with Kirby in your world? What was the most recent event that has happened to you?
-TearZ’.”
King Dedede: “Friends? More like rivals! …Friendly rivals, that is, so I suppose? Who knows, I sure don’t! Too confusing. And, the most recent event, that’d be when we got lost in that weird place with the Beast Pack and stuff.”
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “With that, we’re down to our final three - Bill, Bowser, and Sundew!”
Koe snaps, and the area darkens, with lights shining on the aforementioned three.
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “So, how do you lucky lads feel?”
Pan to Bill.
Bill Cipher: “What do you think ? I’m ecstatic! I can finally return and crush all of those who opposed me to bits! And that prize WILL be mine!”
Sundew: “Yeah, just don’t pull a Lamb.”
Bill Cipher: “I know. I’m not dumb.”
Glendale: “What’d he do?”
Sundew: “Long story.”
Pan to Bowser.
Bowser: “I’m sure I have this in the bag. Especially after that elimination, what the fuck was that?!”
Boss: “YOU’RE STILL MAD?”
Bowser: “Obviously! Who wouldn’t be?!”
Woodie: “I mean, me and Lucy have gotten over ours by now-”
Bowser: “Your opinion doesn’t matter.”
Pan to Sundew.
Sundew: “I’m just confused because I specifically asked to not get any votes. Can people take a hint or not?”
Warrior: “Maybe they thought it was reverse psychology?...”
Sundew: “Well, it’s not. Just so you people know.”
Return to full view.
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “Before we get into the winner and the losers, I’ll read four more reasons for each of you. Starting with Bill, we have ‘hi! purple here. and with the loss of nacho, there's not enough antagonistic characters here, so triangle god would be the funniest option
also is this a safe space to shamelessly self promote
because if so please read my game show
it's called fairly mediocre game show, has contestants such as minecraft alex, goro akechi, peter griffin and the youtube dislike button please read it :3
link here:
https://ao3-rd-8.onrender.com/works/54585661/chapters/138311587’.”
Bill Cipher: “An ad. Seriously?”
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “Hey, I’m chill with ads as long as it isn’t anything bad or immoral. Or that godforsaken song.”
Nacho: “The ass song?”
Koe sighs.
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “Yes. The ass song. Even though I still have no idea why you call it that.”
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “Anyways, next is ‘Even though he didn't do much for his teAm, I Actually miss his Antics plus he hAs A book coming out that hAs to meAn something right???’.”
Bill Cipher: “Mmhmm.”
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “Then we have ‘Ur mama so fat that whenever she moves she makes the earth rumble - Kairos is bored as hell.’.”
Bill Cipher: “You can’t make a ‘your mom’ joke with me! Cause I killed her! And the rest of my family!”
Glendale: “I don’t think that’s something to be proud of-”
Bill Cipher: “Shut up.”
Bill snaps, and Glendale’s mouth disappears. She freaks out about this.
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “Finally, we have another long one, which will once again be split into sections - ‘Instead of just giving a reason for why I'm voting Bill, I'll give my opinions of all the potential rejoiners.
Hyehehe sucks, and also it has literally nothing to gain from rejoining if it can apparently leave the THoE whenever it so wishes.’.”
Hyehehe: “Good point! I can just rejoin myself-”
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “Yeah, no. ‘Golurk also sucks, except without being able to leave. Still not too keen on it rejoining, though.’.”
Golurk groans angrily/
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “‘Nacho just got eliminated, and plus she's gone insane now that her cheese is gone.’.”
Nacho: “I’m good now.”
…
Nacho: “But fair enough.”
…
Nacho: “Not like I want to rejoin, anyways.”
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “‘Warrior is no longer story-relevant since Lamb's out and never returning. Plus, he'd be back on his old team. Doing the same things, except without the cult arc. Pretty useless to put him back in the game.’.”
Warrior: “Heh, I… guess that’s fair enough! Still kinda sad, though…”
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “‘Glendale and Sundew already spent their time on the show and neither actively wants to get back in the game, so them rejoining would be like a smack to the face.’.”
Glendale would say something, but, y’know, her mouth just got stolen.
Sundew: “I’m glad there’s at least some people who listened to me.”
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “‘Boss is in a similar boat to Glendale and Sundew, but he has a bit more priority due to actually wanting to rejoin.’.”
Boss: “WELL, SCREW YOU. SORT OF.”
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “‘I might've gone a bit too hard on Bowser before, and since Boss is eliminated he could actually receive some development. Same with King Dedede no longer being bound to BFDI.’.”
Bowser: “ Thank you for changing your mind.”
King Dedede: “And I’m glad I’m getting support even without votes!”
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “‘Woodie and Lucy did NOT deserve to get eliminated, so I wouldn't mind them getting a second chance.’.”
Woodie: “Appreciated!”
Lucy: “Same here!”
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “‘And now for the big one... Bill Cipher. He seems to be a promising choice, considering he's confirmed that if he rejoins he'll play a more active role. Plus, he could definitely spice things up on IDIOT since its current arc is over. Definitely my top pick for a rejoiner.’.”
Bill Cipher: “Yeah, I better be!”
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “And now, onto Bowser’s vote reasons, starting with ‘robbed’.”
Bowser nods in agreement.
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “Next is ‘I have read this fic for a while, and Bowser could have had a lot of potential. His characterization in Mario isnt exactly pure evil, he makes for a good parent, and I like the big ol' Koopa.’.”
Bowser: “I’m not sure what you mean by characterization, but any vote for me’s a good vote so I’m not complaining!”
Warrior: “Wait, what was that about being a parent?...”
Bowser: “I have kids.”
Warrior: “...”
Bowser: “Don’t ask who the mother is.”
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “Then there’s ‘Wowzer its Bowser hail the King of Koopas
Anyways Tiiiiiiiissssss I the lore guy i am here to give either lore or fun facts
Lore lies here
Did you know Bowser has a kid named Bowser Jr.’. Probably should’ve read this one before the previous one, heh.”
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “And to finish off Bowser’s vote reasons, we have the third and final big one, which I’ll be splitting up again - ‘A selection of some decent picks, some meh picks, and Hyehehe. Let's run through the list!
Golurk - I mean, they got out for a reason. Kinda boring and would not mesh well with the modern cast's dynamics. Quite flat.’.”
Golurk huffs angrily.
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “‘Bowser - ROBBED! ROBBED!!! I KNOW THAT ARTIFICER DIDN'T MEAN TO, BUT STILL ROBBED! Anyways, he actually seemed like quite a promising character as an antagonistic force AND for development. He seems like he'd get along with BFDI, which should be even more interesting considering his former team really, really doesn't.’.”
Bowser: “Unfortunately for you, I refuse to work with those people.”
Bowser turns to King Dedede, Lucy, and Woodie.
Bowser: “No offense to you three.”
Bowser then looks over to Boss.
Bowser: “And yes offense to you.”
Boss: “FUCK YOU.”
Mr Koe Hohzd: “‘King Dedede - Pretty similar case to Bowser, and I'd be happy to see him come back. Just not quite as robbed.’.”
King Dedede: “Thanks!”
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “‘Boss - Squid but worse. Dedede got out instead of this guy?’.”
Boss: “ME AND SQUID ARE NOT SIMILAR.”
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “‘Woodie & Lucy - Robbed! As much as I'd like for the two of them to rejoin (dual contestants are really cool), I feel like they'd lack a place in the current state of the game.’.”
Woodie: “Guess that’s a fair reason, eh.”
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “‘Hyehehe - Oh my god please no’.”
Hyehehe: “I am in your walls”
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “‘Glendale - I honestly feel pretty bad for Glendale since she really didn't do anything wrong. The only problem is that it's because she really didn't do anything in general. She seemed nice, so I'd be happy with her back anyways.’.”
Glendale would respond, but she’s still mouthless.
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “‘Bill Cipher - Funny dorito! He sounds like a fun rejoiner, but he'd probably be on a one-way street back to Loserville as soon as he gets UFE, so... nah.’.”
Bill Cipher: “As if .”
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “‘Warrior - Another Glendale-like case, except he actually got to do stuff. Only problem was that it involved lamb, and that tends to bring misfortune. I guess that misfortune also carries into the rejoin vote. Sorry, man.’.”
Warrior: “I’ll be fine!... I guess.”
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “‘Lamb - I saw someone do a seance in a vote before, so...

🕯️🕯️ I WANT LAMB TO STAY DEAD TBH 🕯️🕯️
🕯️🕯️ BUT IT'D BE REALLY FUNNY🕯️🕯️’.”
This is the part where Lamb would respond, but he can’t. Cause. Y’know. He’s dead. And yeah he’s staying dead.
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “‘Sundew - Actually pretty cool. I kinda miss her on BFDI since she was stopping it from turning into a congregation of frat boys, complete with social exclusion of outsiders like Red and Tree-y to some extent (which is admittedly pretty fun to watch). It was a tossup between her and Bowser, but she said she didn't want to return, so…’.”
Sundew: “Once again, thanks for respecting my choice in not wanting to rejoin.”
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “‘Nacho - Excellent audition. 10/10. I don't want you back at all since you... really, really suck. I think you were supposed to be vote fodder? Why did you last this long?’.”
Nacho: “I dunno.”
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “And… now that we’re done with all the long ones-”
Koe coughs.
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “-We can get to Sundew’s votes finally! We start off with ‘SUNDEW SO EPIC’.”
Sundew: “...Thanks?”
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “Next is ‘sundew is cool’.”
Sundew: “...Once again, thanks, I guess.”
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “Then there’s ‘I like wof’...”
Sundew: “What’s a wof?...”
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “...and finally, we have ‘I like LeafWings’.”
Sundew: “Good for you.”
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “Now, finally, we’ll see who’s getting a second chance!”
A drumroll begins…
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “Sundew wins with 12 votes! Bill and Bowser both got 6 each.”
All three of them are appalled.
Bill Cipher: “WHAT?!”
Bowser: “You HAVE to be fucking kidding me!”
Sundew: “I asked not to rejoin…”
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “Yeah, well, tough luck, Sundew, cause you are! To start off your remaining reasons, we have ‘HAII SUNDEW!! i haven't been around to vote in a while but I, para, am back! sundew reminds me of my friend with the way she acts so I had to! -para’.”
Sundew: “Well, thanks, I suppose.”
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “Next is ‘Honestly, guys, I’m just choosing Sundew here because she’s from one of my favourite book series… literally every other character is irrelevant (except for blue, Alan Becker crew I summon thee). Plus, she can LITERALLY CONTROL PLANTS! Why has she not used this power yet? Come on Mr. Author!
I was literally almost crying when she was voted out. I’m very regretful that I wasn’t able to vote in that poll.
- Q’.”
For future reference, the author (and by extension me the narrator) is female.
Sundew: “Ignoring the book part… look, honestly, I just haven’t had the chance to use leafspeak. Most of the challenges take place in what is essentially a barren wasteland and the only plants happen to be at dragon-level intelligence. Though since I’m apparently rejoining, I guess I have more of a chance now.”
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “Next up, we have ‘SUNDEW STANS UNITE! SUNDEW BEST CHARACTER! SUNDEW BEST CHARACTER!
I mean come on guys, she’s a DRAGON!
We love dragons!
And she has leafspeak! (Wait… why has she not used it yet…)
— Sundewstan201.’.”
Sundew: “Is there some sort of bias towards dragons that I don’t know of, because… ???... and also, I just explained the leafspeak part.”
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “Next is ‘Guys guys, hear me out please
So I actually liked Sundew and Squid’s duo.. And as an avid WOF reader (i reread the series twice) Sundew is easily the least brain rotting contested out of everyone here. I honestly don’t remember her getting out-
I genuinely forgot I voted and got jumpscared by my reason lmao, anyways Bill cypher would probably be my other vote because of the chance that’d he be better this time but.. eh I don’t trust him.
Lucy & Woodie were also pretty cool but idk I like Sundew more. ALSO SOMEONE TELL SQUID TO BE NICER TO RED, THE BEAN IS ACTUALLY SMART YALL.’.”
Bill Cipher: “Don’t trust me?! I am perfectly trustworthy!”
Bowser: “Mmhmm, yeah, right.”
Bill turns Bowser into turtle soup in response.
Boss: “BASED.”
Woodie: “Uh… that aside, I’m glad you like us!”
Lucy: “Yeah!”
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “Then, finally, we have a couple of vote reasons that more of less send the same message, so I’ll be saying them in a row - ‘snuduu yes, snooduuu yesssssss
Alright, to convince y’all sundew is best, I have decided to write a poem about why we need a sundew redemption arc.
Sundew.
Most epicest of dragons
Best character of WOF arc 3
Guys y’all gotta listen.
Sundew superior. Sundew superior. Sundew superior. Sundew superior. Sundew superior. Sundew superior.
Aye!’ ‘WOF fans unite! I have been summoned by a supreme being from an outer realm. Sundew. Sundew is in danger! Guys we need to save Sundew!’ ‘Found this series because of Sundew. Almost gave up because a lack of sundew. Now we have a chance for redemption. Go Sundew! I believe in you!
Remember what Cricket told you that one time?
“Never back down never what?”
“NEVER GIVE UP!”’.”
Seeing how many people there are that support Sundew puts her into a state of… rethinking.
Sundew: “...”
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “Well, now that we’re done, it looks like it’s time to bring you back to the game, Sundew! And, uh, have fun being frozen in time indefinitely again, guys?”
Koe snaps, teleporting him and Sundew out of the THoE.
Cut to outside the building. The contestants - minus Sundew, for now - are doing the usual ‘standing outside’ thing, and y’know, Koe is there too.
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “Alright, everyone! Before we get into the challenge, there’s the results of last time’s poll that we need to discuss! First off, we got the rejoiner - anyone excited?”
Crickets. The screen zooms in over to the very left, where for some godforsaken reason Osana Najimi from Komi Can’t Communicate is there.
Osana Najimi: “I am!”
The contestants next to Najimi look at them weirdly.
Flowey: “...Who the fuck???”
Koe slides on screen.
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “Okay, okay, wait, what you are doing here??”
Osana Najimi: “I mean, didn’t you have me sign that contract fo-”
Koe puts his hand over Najimi’s mouth to shush them.
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “Please don’t say that out loud in front of everyone that is a secret .”
Najimi takes his hand off their mouth.
Osana Najimi: “Alright, alright, I won’t, but still, you never specified when, so you can’t blame me~”
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “...I can blame you. Also, I’m sending you back.”
Koe opens a portal and kicks Najimi into it, then closes it. He then returns to his regular position.
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “Okay, uh, interruption aside, we… seem to have a more empty group than there should be…”
Red: “Blocky died…”
Squid: “Blocky’s dead.”
Nikoly: “Blocky was assassinated!”
Tree-y: “♪ blocky has gone to the great beyond ♪”
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “...Didn’t need the four-person chorus but got it!”
Koe revives Blocky.
Blocky: “Finally!”
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “Okay, now interruption S aside, we can actually get to the rejoin! Say a good re-welcome to…”
Koe summons Sundew in.
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “Sundew!”
Sundew: “...Hi. What team am I supposed to be going to?”
Koe points to IDIOT. Sundew walks over to them. Blue waves to Sundew.
Sundew: “Hi. I guess.”
Pan back to Koe.
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “And, next up, we have the disadvantage for Cool Friends!”
Koe suddenly appears in the middle of Cool Friends’s grouping, jumpscaring most of them.
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “For you guys, we got a disadvantage submitted by an anonymous voter - since apparently you guys completely forgot about doing the last challenge… ”
Koe’s words have a bit of venom in them. Guess he really doesn’t like that that happened.
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “This time, you’ll be experiencing the opposite - complete obsession! It’s more ‘maybe good, maybe bad’ than a disadvantage should be but whatever doesn’t matter.”
Koe vanishes into the crowd and reappears at his normal spot.
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “And one last thing before the main event, we have an intro now! Don’t ask why it’s just been made after 13 episodes, I dunno either. Lemme… uh… how are we going to activate the intro?...”
Koe hums in thought.
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “Okay, uhhh… quick, you, do a random pose!”
Koe points to a random person, who happens to be N.
N: “Me?! Uh, okay!”
N raises his hand up, starting the intro.
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “Oh my god, how did Najimi even… y’know what, I’ll worry about that some other time, it’s time for the challenge! This time around, it’ll be a game of capture the flag - each team will be given a flag and resources to further defend your flag. Whatever team loses their flag first will go up for elimination! I’ll also give each team a ten minute grace period before their flag can be taken - if your team tries to snatch another team’s flag during this time, you’ll immediately be disqualified. With all that said, the challenge begins now!”
Koe snaps, teleporting all the contestants.
Cut to BFDI. They appear in front of, well, a flag, and a pile of stuff to use to build a defense, within a grassy plain. Squid immediately takes control of the planning
Squid: “Blocky, Red, and Tree-y, you three will stay here and defend. Nikoly, you and I will try to hunt down another team.”
Nikoly makes a saluting pose.
Nikoly: “Sir, yes, sir!”
Squid: “...Don’t do that.”
Nikoly: “Aw…”
Blocky: “I’m all for it, but why’d I have to get stuck with this guy?”
Blocky points to Red, who steps backward.
Squid: “Your trapping abilities are more effective for defense rather than attack, and… do you expect him to help if we’re actively trying to fight?”
Blocky: “Fair enough!”
Squid: “And one last thing…”
Squid gets up close to Red’s face to instill fear into him.
Squid: “ Make your presence worthwhile. ”
Red sweats bullets from the pressure as Squid floats back.
Squid: “With that, me and Nikoly will be leaving.”
The two aforementioned members head off. Red scrambles off to the pile of stuff to start gathering resources.
Tree-y: “♪ …is it just me or was that unnecessary ♪”
Blocky: “Even if I don’t like the bean guy all that much, I gotta agree with ya, Tree-ster. Though I betcha it’s just how Squid’s used to doing things, so I’m not all that worried!”
Blocky then runs over to the pile, grabs a whole heap of bricks, and throws them all into a tower formation.
Blocky: “Ha! Easy!”
Red stares at the tower, appalled at how Blocky managed to make it so fast.
Blocky: “Alright, uh… bean guy, you can, uh… add more defense around the tower I guess? Tree-y, you- right, he’s over there.”
Tree-y is slowly moving towards the two.
Blocky: “Bean guy, when Tree-y gets here, tell him that I said he has to stand guard, okay? Imma rig the place.”
Red: “Oka-”
Blocky dashes off and somehow runs UP the tower.
Red: “...”
Red: “Better get to work, then…”
Cut to IDIOT. Blue, Science Bear, and Test Tube are already working on making defense for their flag. Charles is descending with his helicopter.
Sundew: “...Where did that even come from?”
Charlie the Unicorn: “Hell if anyone knew.”
Enderman: “It comes out of nowhere. Perhaps it’s hammerspace logic.”
Sundew: “Not sure what that is but I’ll take it as an answer.”
Sundew goes silent for a moment, before having a realization.
Sundew: “Since when could you speak?”
Enderman: “Today.”
Sundew: “O…kay.”
Charles lands.
Charles: “Get in, everyone!”
Charlie and Enderman do so.
Charles: “What about you, Sundew?”
Sundew: “I can fly, that’s completely unnecessary.”
Charles: “Ah, I… should’ve realized that! Okay, you can just follow us then!”
The helicopter lifts off the ground as Sundew flies up into the sky to follow it.
Charlie the Unicorn: “So, what exactly are we doing?”
Enderman: “Yes, us and Sundew were just told to wait for you.”
Charles: “Oh, yeah, we’re supposed to be the ones going after other teams. They also said that if we encounter Cool Friends that we should give them a hand.”
Sundew flies up to the window and shouts loud enough for the three in the helicopter to hear her. Don’t ask how she heard them from outside, guess it’s just dragon logic.
Sundew: “Why in Pantala do we have to do that?!”
Charles turns to look at Sundew right outside the helicopter. He’s temporarily confused by Sundew somehow hearing him, but shrugs it off quickly.
Charles: “Alliance stuff, plus their disadvantage!”
Sundew: “...Makes sense!”
Sundew falls back behind the helicopter.
Enderman: “How did she hear us?...”
Charlie the Unicorn: “You have to learn to not question what the hell goes on sometimes. Because, and especially here, there likely won’t be any answer.”
Enderman: “That’s deep.”
Cut to CF. Everyone is already building a defense for the flag with their team’s materials, assumedly due to the disadvantage.
…I don’t get it, things seem perfectly fine.
Pizza Steve: “Probably just cause you’re incorporeal, bro. There’s this weird voice in my head that’s kinda basically chanting ‘protect the flag’ and it’s both really annoying and … I dunno the word, but it makes you want to listen to it?”
N: “Yeah, it’s really distracting! But I guess it could be worse…”
N glances over to Kris, who seems to be going insane.
N: “...Yeah, uh… still could be worse…”
Please don’t jinx things for yourself, N.
N: “Oh, I’m sure it’ll be fine!”
Flowey: “That’s the kind of thing that makes things not fine, dumbass.”
N: “Hey! Rude!”
…By the way, where’s the rest of the team?
N: “Good question! I got no idea.”
Flowey: “They’re over the-...re…”
Flowey looks at Amelia and Ploque, who both seem to have snapped completely and are holding onto the flag like they’ll die if they don’t defend it with their very own bodies.
Flowey: “...”
Flowey: “Okay what the fuck .”
Pizza Steve: “Please don’t tell me we’re gonna end up like that.”
Wheatley: “Yeah, that wouldn’t be ideal.”
Pizza Steve: “GAH- Oh, it’s just you, Wheatley.”
Wheatley: “Yes, hi, Steve! Do you also happen to be experiencing a horrific amount of mental pain at the voices claiming dominion over your mind?”
Pizza Steve: “...No???”
Wheatley: “Oh, must just be me. I’ll be off, then!”
Wheatley rolls off, suddenly holding a large stack of blocks on his head. And somehow not dropping them.
Pizza Steve: “...”
This is worse than I thought.
Cut to NNIT. Plankton has begun using a good portion of the materials to build something while the other four members of the team are working on flag defense - or, well, three are, Torch God’s kinda just there.
Plasma Ball: “... What are you doing?”
Plankton: “Isn’t it obvious?! I’m working on a machine to help us in this challenge, duh!”
Plasma Ball: “Yeesh, chill out, I was just asking!”
Plankton: “Your tone was aggressive first, for the record.”
Plasma Ball tries to retort, but Plankton is right. She sighs. Torch God then zooms onscreen.
Torch God: “DON’T FIGHT PLEASE”
Plankton: “It wasn’t a fight but fine .”
Plasma Ball: “Actually, thinking of it, what are you doing to help, Torch God?”
Torch God: “UH”
Torch God: “GOOD QUESTION”
Plankton: “Go… attack some other team or something then!”
Torch God: “YEAH THAT’S PROBABLY THE ONLY THING I CAN DO ANYWAYS”
Artificer walks onscreen.
Artificer: “I’ll go with you. The Knight should be able to handle fighting anyone trying to get our flag on their own.”
Torch God: “OK”
The two head off. Plasma Ball also leaves to go to the flag, with a handful of stuff… in hand. Plankton returns to focusing on his work.
Cut to RCoKJ. Rocket and Spider-Ham have already gone off, leaving Carl, Donkey, and King Julien to hold the fort down. However, we are NOT going to focus on those three but instead the aforementioned Rocket and Spider-Ham. Spider-Ham is swinging across the trees while Rocket walks on the ground.
Spider-Ham: “Alright, we’ve got this in the bag! Our abilities together should be able to get the flag-”
Spider-Ham tries turning to Rocket, but notices he’s behind.
Spider-Ham: “Aw, snap, went too fast.”
Spider-Ham backtracks and lowers himself down to the floor.
Spider-Ham: “Sorry for leaving ya behind!”
Rocket: “Ah- no, no, it’s fine!”
Rocket seems peculiarly panicky. Spider-Ham picks up on this.
Spider-Ham: “...You good, Rocket?”
Rocket: “Uh, yeah, mmhmm…”
Spider-Ham, instead of responding immediately, pats Rocket’s shoulder.
Spider-Ham: “You don’t have to hide yourself in a shell, kid, I’m here for ya. Though if you don’t wanna talk about it… I won’t force you.”
Rocket smiles slightly.
Rocket: “...Thanks.”
Rocket then sighs and frowns.
Rocket: “Well, thing is, a vote reason kinda popped into my room earlier. And, somehow, it summoned one of my friends from where I came from for a short bit. It was fun, but… it made me realize how much I miss home. And not just that… it makes me miss Ploque, too. She was my best friend here…”
Spider-Ham stays silent for a moment, carefully putting together what to say.
Spider-Ham: “...I’m not used to saying these kinds of things, but, well… of course you’ll miss what you’ve lost. There’s no avoiding that. But you gotta look on the bright side of things - when we finish this competition, you’ll be able to return home, right? And there’ll be many opportunities to get your friendship with Ploque back to what it used to be.”
Spider-Ham: “Point being… as long as you look to the future, you’ll be able to get through this. That’s what I think, at least.”
A silence surrounds the two. After a short while, Rocket slowly nods.
Rocket: “...”
Spider-Ham: “You don’t have to thank me again, Rocket. Just doing what a friend’s s’posed to do!”
Rocket chuckles.
Rocket: “Yeah, you’re right! Heh.”
Cut to Nikoly and Squid. The two are trekking through a forest.
Squid: “What is it with all of these forests?!”
Nikoly: “Well, Squidster, don’tcha think it makes sense? It’d be super duper boring if it was just a flat grass plane where you can get to the other teams immediately!”
Squid: “Yeah, sure, boring for the host, but it’s just plain annoying for us.”
Nikoly: “I dunno, I’m kinda enjoying it!”
Squid sighs.
Squid: “Don’t know why I ever figured your opinion would make sense…”
Nikoly: “Hey, it does! A lot of the time! I think!”
Squid scoffs. The two then walk in silence for a bit.
Nikoly: “So… you got any ideas for who killed Blocky? Cause I got nothing. Super sad, I know.”
Squid: “Hell if I’d know.”
Nikoly: “Well, there’s gotta be some evidence! Somewhere. Could be anywhere.”
Nikoly scratches his chin while thinking.
Nikoly: “Hrm…”
Nikoly: “...My chin itches.”
Squid stares at Nikoly with a deadpan expression.
Nikoly: “Well, I’m not wrong!”
Nikoly: “That aside, I thinks I got an idea!”
Squid: “...You thinks ?...”
Nikoly: “Sh. Anyways, y’know how Red’s friends with Enderman? And Enderman can teleport? You can see where I’m going.”
Squid: “...”
Squid: “...That… …makes sense.”
Nikoly: “I know, right?”
More silence.
Nikoly: “...What’s next, th-”
Squid: “We get retribution.”
Nikoly: “...sounds good?”
Nikoly’s a bit put off by the tone of voice Squid uses, but agrees regardless.
Cut to IDIOT’s base. Blue has basically built a dungeon, with traps and such installed by Science Bear and Test Tube. Blue grins - despite having no mouth - at his finished masterpiece of a building. A running sound is then heard, catching his attention, and he turns to see Artificer and Torch God rushing towards the base. Blue, however, stays calm and just… waves. This confuses the two, who stop.
Artificer: “...You know we’re here to attack you, right.”
Blue nods.
Torch God: “I MEAN I’M NOT COMPLAINING BUT. SHOULDN’T YOU BE LIKE. TRYING TO ATTACK US”
Blue informs the two that he doesn’t feel like it since the dungeon is enough.
Torch God: “OK FAIR ENOUGH”
Artificer: “...Excuse me, dungeon?”
Torch God: “DUNGEON IN A ‘PLACE YOU EXPLORE TO GET REWARD’ WAY NOT ‘GET TORTURED’ WAY”
Artificer: “I see…”
Artificer: “Then we shall head inside.”
Artificer and Torch God walk into the dungeon. After a short bit, Science Bear and Test Tube come out.
Science Bear: “I’ve ensured that everything’s ready for the first run. I only hope we won’t have to face others in the meantime, though, I’m not sure if it can handle two separate parties.”
Test Tube: “Yeah, that would be pretty inconvenient.”
Blue says it’ll probably be fine. And that they can just fight any extra people who come to attack anyways.
Science Bear: “Fair assessment.”
Inside the dungeon, Artificer and Torch God walk inside a cramped hallway. Torch God takes up most of the space.
Artificer: “I’m not sure what these people are planning, but if they’ve gone so far to make a dungeon, I can’t foresee it being easy.”
Torch God: “WELL IT PROBABLY WON’T BE TOO HARD”
Artificer: “...That’s the kind of thing that jinxes our chances.”
Torch God: “SHIT U RIGHT”
Torch God: “UHHHHH”
Torch God: “IT WILL BE SUPER HARD AND WE WILL NOT MAKE IT”
Artificer: “Reverse psychology likely doesn’t work on jinxes.”
Torch God: “YEAH TRUE”
The two exit the hallway and find themselves in a large room, with a door on the other end. There’s a bunch of pillars covering the distance - in essence, it’s a parkour challenge.
Torch God: “...HAVE FUN”
Torch God begins to go across the wall to the door, but dispensers drop water on them, displacing some of their torches.
Torch God: “OW OW NEVERMIND OW FUCK OW OW OW”
Artificer sighs to herself as Torch God flees from the wall and back to the entrance.
Torch God: “WELL THAT FAILED HORRIBLY GUESS I HAVE TO SOMEHOW GO THROUGH THE ACTUAL COURSE”
Artificer and Torch God get through the course, Torch God… climbing across the pillars with floor intervals. I mean, did you expect them to jump?
Artificer: “That wasn’t too hard.”
Torch God: “SPEAK FOR YOURSELF”
Torch God has lost 70% of their torches.
Artificer: “In all fairness, that was an anti-cheating mechanism neither of us knew about.”
Torch God: “IT’S NOT CHEATING IF I CAN’T JUMP IN THE FIRST PLACE, BUT TRUE, I SUPPOSE”
Torch God: “HOPEFULLY THE NEXT ROOM ISN’T THAT BAD…”
…
Twenty minutes later, the two step out from another trap room. They’re pretty bruised up by now, especially Torch God, who’s down to just 25 torches.
Torch God: “OH MY GOD WHY DID I SAY IT WON’T BE TOO HARD”
Artificer: “Eugh… At least we’re alive…”
Artificer coughs up an arrow.
Artificer: “Gross.”
Torch God: “HOW DID YOU EVEN… ACTUALLY IDK IF I WANT AN ANSWER TO THAT”
The two then look ahead to see a large room, with IDIOT’s flag in the middle.
Artificer: “Oh my rot finally .”
Torch God: “MAN I WISH WE AT LEAST GOT SOMETHING MORE. OBVIOUSLY VICTORY’S GOOD AND ALL BUT WE WENT THROUGH ALL THAT JUST FOR THIS…”
Artificer: “At least we got something .”
The two enter the room, and Artificer pulls the flag out from the ground.
Artificer: “Now we just need to find an exi-”
A crashing sound rings through the room, and both NNIT members turn around to see that the entrance has been closed shut.
Torch God: “LOOKS LIKE WE’RE NOT OUT OF THE WOODS QUITE YET”
Parts of the roof open to allow eight platforms to fall to the ground, all holding Ominous Trial Spawners on them. They activate, spawning in a horde of Minecraft mobs, as projectiles begin falling from the sky in accordance.
Artificer: “You have to be kidding me.”
Torch God: “MIGHT AS WELL GET THIS OVER WITH”
The two begin fighting the onslaught of enemies, but as another ten minutes passes, the two are exhausted and even more injured. There seems to be no end to the horde.
Artificer: “Ugh…”
Torch God: “THIS BLOWS-”
The remainder of Torch God’s torches have their fires extinguished by a Breeze’s attack.
Artificer: “SHIT!”
Artificer: “...”
Artificer puts down the flag and raises her hands up.
Artificer: “I yield.”
A hole appears under Artificer, dropping her down into a water elevator. It closes to not allow any mobs in. She’s then transported out of the dungeon and right back to the entrance.
Artificer: “That was living hell…”
Artificer begins to walk away, but collapses from exhaustion. Blue looks from around the corner and sees her. …He begins to have second thoughts on the difficulty.
Cut to BFDI’s base. It hasn’t changed much from the last time we’ve seen it, it just has traps around it now. Blocky and Tree-y are chilling at the top while Red seems to be compiling information and theorizing for the book destruction case. Blocky chugs a shot of legally-not-alcohol.
Blocky: “You got anything on that whole burning-and-murder thing, bean boy?”
Red: “Not much, admittedly… sometimes it takes more evidence then you get at the start to find a culprit…”
Blocky: “Well, you got that deadline to worry about, so you’re probably going to have to hurry your ass up, y’know!”
Red: “Yeah, I do know…”
Tree-y: “♪ please dont feel overwhelmed that would not be well ♪”
Blocky: “That barely worked as a sentence.”
Tree-y: “i know :(”
Red unconsciously peers over the wall of the tower’s top, and notices the arrival of Rocket and Spider-Ham.
Red: “Hey, uh, guys, there’s two people here and I think they’re going to attack us.”
Blocky: “Got it! I’ll just wreck their asses with this bad boy!”
Blocky pulls out his latest invention - the sick as hell shotgun.
Blocky: “This baby’s not as fast as my minigun, but one shot and they’ll be going on BuzzFeed Unsolved!”
Tree-y: “♪ why would you want to be on buzzfeed ♪”
Blocky: “I dunno, sounds cool.”
Red: “Isn’t that the website that has quizzes on it?”
Blocky: “Yeah, but that’s not all they’re known for- wait, shit, I gotta kill some guys! We can continue this later!”
Blocky leaps down to the ground, sick as hell shotgun in hand.
Blocky: “Stick ‘em up, motherfuckers, or else you’re gonna be dropping harder than a dead body! …Cause you’ll be dead er bodies.”
Rocket quickly takes out his rocket launcher as Spider-Ham gets into a fighting position.
Spider-Ham: “Really was hoping we wouldn’t have to fight anyone, but I’ll deal with it if I have to!”
Rocket: “Uh- yeah!”
Blocky: “It’s on!”
Blocky and the two RCoKJ-ers get into a heated firearms battle, none of them getting hit due to the power of agility… until Blocky manages to get a lucky shot in, sending a couple bullets into Rocket’s chest. He staggers backwards.
Spider-Ham: “Dang it! Kid, you good?!”
Spider-Ham rushes over to Rocket, but his spidey-sense activates, and he dodges another shot by Blocky… which injures Rocket more. Yeah, no way he’s still alive.
Spider-Ham: “Alright, that’s it, we’re getting serious now, Blocky!”
Spider-Ham pulls out a comically large hammer and bonks Blocky, squishing him a bit.
Blocky: “Ow…”
Blocky reverts back to his normal shape.
Blocky: “As if! You think that’s enough to knock me down?-”
Spider-Ham uses the opening to stick him to the tower’s wall with his webs.
Blocky: “Gh- Goshdarnit!”
Spider-Ham: “Thanks for the opening! No thanks for the murder. Kapeesh.”
Spider-Ham webslings up to the top of the tower. Red starts panicking.
Red: “Oh crap oh crap we’re so doomed-”
Tree-y: “♪ do not fear for i am here ♪”
Tree-y waves around. It does nothing.
Spider-Ham: “...”
Red: “...”
Tree-y: “...i did my best”
Spider-Ham: “Yea, uh, sorry, that did nothin’.”
Spider-Ham sticks Tree-y to the ground with webs. He then turns around to Red.
Spider-Ham: “Alrighty, now it’s your turn!”
Red begins sweating… but he decides to man up for once and do something about the situation.
By.
By kicking Spider-Ham in the crotch.
Somehow the pain is so bad that Spider-Ham falls down to the ground. And in the process somehow also tears the webs trapping Blocky against the wall.
Blocky: “Ay, thanks, bean man! Guess you got even more use than I thought. Now to finish this guy off!”
As Blocky does the deed (of killing Spider-Ham, of course, what else would he be doing), Red realizes he was just an accessory to a murder… and subsequently freaks out. But we’ll… touch on that later. For now…
Cut to NNIT’s base. It’s a bunch of walls surrounding the flag, with a retractable roof installed for emergency purposes.
Plasma Ball: “I wonder how Artificer and Torch God are doing…”
Plankton: “If we’re lucky, they haven’t gotten themselves killed.”
Plasma Ball: “Yeesh, no need to be negative. Plus, I’m sure they'll be able to keep themselves alive. Or Artificer, at least.”
Plankton: “Need I remind you she got killed by Blue and… Science Bear , of all people? Just two challenges ago?”
Plasma Ball: “...Fair enough.”
Silence.
Plasma Ball: “...Where the hell is the Knight?”
Plankton: “Beats me!”
Plasma Ball: “Wherever they are, they’ll probably be fine.”
Cut to the Knight being trapped within the walls. They cannot scream for they are without a mouth.
…Cut back to the two.
Plasma Ball: “...”
Plasma Ball: “Yeah.”
The two then notice a sound in the air… a helicopter-y sound. …Well, not a helicopter-y sound, it… IS a helicopter.
Plasma Ball: “Looks like we have company.”
Plankton: “No shit, Sherlock.”
The helicopter lands on the ground, as Charles, Charlie, and Enderman exit it. Sundew also lands on the ground shortly after.
Plasma Ball: “Wait, how exactly are we supposed to beat them?! No offense to you, or myself for that matter, but we are easily the weakest people in the show.”
Plankton: “Luckily, I have a trick up my sleeve!”
Plankton pulls out four bucket helmets… if you’ve watched the first SpongeBob movie, you know where this is going.
Plankton: “We just need to get these on their heads, then we’re set!”
Plasma Ball: “...Okay? I’ll follow along with this, I guess.”
Plankton and Plasma Ball jump down to the ground to face IDIOT’s attackers.
Charlie the Unicorn: “Can we just get this over with quickly? I’d rather not fight.”
Enderman: “Yes, it’d be easier to sweep through you both.”
Plankton: “Ha ha! As if we’d go down that easily!-”
Sundew: “Need I remind you of how many times you’ve been killed?”
Plankton: “HUSH! I am not as weak as I once was, former BFDI crony!”
Sundew: “Well, I suppose we’ll see about that.”
Charles: “Guys, it’s not that serious…”
Plasma Ball: ”Whatever, let them have their mini-competition. Let’s just get on with it.”
Enderman: “Agreed.”
The two sides charge at each other. They throw punches and jabs at each other, before Sundew uses her leafspeak to snag Plasma Ball with quickly-grown grass.
Plasma Ball: “Gah! What the hell?!”
Charles: “Woah, that’s new!”
Sundew: “It’s not new. I just never used it before.”
Plankton: “As if that’ll slow us down!”
Plasma Ball: “I dunno, I feel pretty slowed down here.”
Plankton: “That’s your problem!”
Plankton finds an opening and throws a bucket helmet onto Charles’s head. Charles struggles for a moment, but then stops moving.
Plankton: “Ha ha! Victory is confirmed to be ours!”
Sundew: “Wh- He stopped moving?!”
Charlie the Unicorn: “What the hell did you do?”
Plankton: “Oh, you’ll see.”
Charles speaks in a monotone, almost-robotic voice, as if he’s being mind-controlled… which he is.
Charles: “All hail Plankton.”
Plankton: “Ha ha ha! I’ve mind controlled him to act as my underling!”
This leaves the other four, Plasma Ball included, appalled. Plankton slides over to Plasma Ball for a quick moment and whispers.
Plankton: “ For the record, it wears off when the bucket’s removed. I’m not nearly as bad as Lamb is.”
Plasma Ball: “ That’s still… ”
Plankton: “ I know, I know, you were a target, but this is much more ethical. ”
Plankton then slides back on top of Charles’s head.
Plankton: “Ready for round two, losers?!”
Charlie the Unicorn: “Yeah, sure- You think?! Hell no!”
Enderman: “Of course not.”
Sundew: “Yeah, I’m out.”
Sundew begins to fly away, but Plasma Ball - albeit somewhat reluctantly - throws a bucket helmet onto Sundew from her grassy prison. The grass promptly releases Plasma Ball as the mind control kicks in.
Charlie the Unicorn: “Alright, we’re getting out of here!”
Charlie and Enderman flee.
Plankton: “Boo. They didn’t even let us finish. Oh well, at least we got the win, that’s enough for me!”
Plasma Ball: “...What are we even supposed to do with these two?”
Plankton: “I dunno, uh… they can help defend the base, I guess.”
Plasma Ball: “Better than nothing…”
Cut to Nikoly and Squid, still walking in the forest. Nikoly has a 3DS out, and is playing a game called ‘CECU RPG’ on it. Squid glances over to him and immediately scowls.
Squid: “Could you get your eyes off the game?!”
Nikoly: “Okay, I will, I just gotta finish this boss battle real quick!”
After a short bit, Nikoly beats the boss.
Nikoly: “Ha ha! Take that, Wario!”
Nikoly saves the game and puts his 3DS away. He then pulls out a spyglass and looks into it.
Nikoly: “Hmm… seems like there’s something up ahead!”
Squid: “Fucking finally .”
Epic montage of Nikoly and Squid walking to the ‘something up ahead’... it’s CF’s base! Which is a giant cube. Wow.
Nikoly: “...”
Squid: “...”
Nikoly: “...Minecraft ass base.”
Squid groans.
Squid: “Okay, how are we supposed to work with this?”
Nikoly: “Hold on a moment!”
Nikoly puts his non-existent ear up to the wall and listens in… all he can hear is slurred mumbling of the phrase ‘Protect the flag’. Creepy.
Nikoly: “...Damn, it’s 𝓯𝓻𝓮𝓪𝓴𝔂 in there.”
Squid: “...”
Nikoly: “Wait, no, I mean freaky as in scary, not 𝓯𝓻𝓮𝓪𝓴𝔂.”
Squid: “Whatever. Did you glean any information that’s actually useful?”
Nikoly: “Sure did! The center of the top is the best vantage point for breaking in, it’s the most hollow up there.”
Squid mutters ‘thank god’ under his breath.
Squid: “I’ll carve the way in. You deal with them. The disadvantage should hopefully make it easier.”
Nikoly: “Got it!”
The two quickly get on top of the cube, and Squid basically pulls a can-opening technique on the cube to basically make a trapdoor.
Nikoly: “Alright, Agent Nikoly, going in!”
Squid: “That is entirely unnecessary.”
Nikoly: “idc”
Nikoly opens up the ‘trapdoor’, and immediately is greeted with the sight of the entire team of CF huddling around the flag like if they don’t they will die. They all turn upwards to look at Nikoly.
Nikoly: “...”
Squid: “What are you waiting for?”
Nikoly: “They’re staring at me and it’s kinda creepy-”
The screams of the innocent arise from the world as the CF members CRAWL UP THE WALL LIKE A SPIDER to get up to Nikoly and Squid. Nikoly starts screaming bloody murder as he smacks Pizza Steve into the horizon with his scythe.
Squid: “Jesus christ, what the fuck did Koe do to them?!”
Nikoly: “I DUNNO BUT I DON’T LIKE IT! I WAS ALWAYS BAD WITH HORROR GAMES, Y’KNOW!”
Nikoly bashes in the heads of most of them, with Squid dealing with the others. Nikoly sighs in relief.
Nikoly: “That was somehow more terrifying than even Lamb. Glad that’s over with, though!”
Zoom out to show N nibbling on Nikoly’s head.
Nikoly: “...”
Squid: “...”
Squid crushes N.
Squid: “There.”
Nikoly: “Okay, now I can say I’m glad that’s over with! Time to get the flag for real!”
Nikoly leaps down into the base and grabs the flag.
Nikoly: “Treasure get!”
He then covers up his non-existent nose.
Nikoly: “Ew, gross, it smells like dead bodies.”
Squid: “Because there’s corpses in there.”
Nikoly: “Ah, makes sense!”
Beat.
Nikoly: “Gah!”
Nikoly scurries up the wall.
Nikoly: “Okay, now we just need to get to the base, right?”
Squid: “Correct.”
Nikoly: “Sweet! Cue montage time, then!”
Squid: “What-”
Cue montage of Nikoly and Squid going to BFDI’s base.
Squid: “...What the hell was that?!”
Nikoly: “Montage time.”
Squid: “Wh- I- Ugh. I should stop asking these kinds of things.”
Nikoly: “Good move!”
Nikoly and Squid look up to see their team’s tower. Blocky slides over, waves, and then somersaults to the ground.
Blocky: “Looks like you snagged a flag! Sweet.”
Squid: “Indeed. Did anything happen in our absence?”
Blocky: “Well, two of those Royal Circle people came over and tried to attack us, but I shot ‘em dead. Red also kicked a guy in the nuts. Probably by accident, but hey, better than nothing!”
Nikoly: “Yeowch, that must’ve hurt.”
Squid: “At least he made himself useful again…”
Silence.
Blocky: “Hey, wait, shouldn’t there be fanfare cause we got the flag or something?”
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “Right you are!”
Koe suddenly appears, scaring Blocky and Nikoly. Squid simply looks unamused.
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “Though you’ll have to wait until we return back to the main area for that. Which, of course, will be right now!”
Squid: “Then why mention waiting-”
Koe snaps, teleporting everyone back to outside the main building. All the dead people are revived, and Charles and Sundew are freed of their bucket helmets. CF is also now sane.
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “Alright, folks, it’s time for the results! First off, the team that managed to grab the flag of another is…”
Koe creates a hologram showing a JPG of BFDI.
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “Blocky’s Funny Doings International!”
NNIT collectively groans.
Red: “Oh, well, that’s nice…”
Blocky: “Liven up a little, bean boy! Woo!”
Blocky is way more excited than he should be.
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “And the unlucky losers are…”
Since only BFDI knows who lost - due to CF’s disadvantage clouding their memories of what happened during their period of insanity - everyone besides them is in anticipation of who the losers are…
The hologram shows another JPG, this time of CF.
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “Cool Friends! Looks like their massive winning streak is finally over!”
N: “Aw, dang!”
Pizza Steve: “Well, it was a good run while it lasted, bros.”
Wheatley: “It’s quite surprising we managed to escape elimination for a whole 11 episodes!”
Ploque: “...You were counting?”
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “So, viewers! You can vote for anyone on Cool Friends-”
The mechanical hand pops into frame and says something to Koe… with metal clanking sounds.
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “Oh, yeah, right! Apologies, you can vote for anyone on Cool Friends but Amelia for elimination - as her prize from the team’s first elimination granted her immunity for this one - and you can vote anyone for a chance at spinning the IWoL! If that makes no sense the form will explain everything.”
Blocky butts in.
Blocky: “So are we getting anything for winning or what?”
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “Good point, hmm…”
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “Well, since Nikoly and Squid got the flag, those two will gain auto immunity next time you go up for elimination!”
Blocky: “Sweet!”
Blocky moves out of frame.
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “Anyways, poll! Below! Vote now!”
VOTING LINK: [ENDED]
Osana Najimi is seen outside the main building as the outro is being performed.
Osana Najimi: “Koe does know that that didn’t send me back, right?”
Beat.
Osana Najimi: “Oh well! Means more fun to be had here~”
Osana Najimi whistles as they walk away.
Notes:
if you're confused about osana najimi it's. it's a bit of an inside joke
Chapter 14: Episode 14 - Between Wright and Wrong
Notes:
i do not actually know how court cases work so there are going to be a lot of inaccuracies.
anyways i experimented with having CGs! if y'all like 'em, then i might add more in the future!
and a quick timeline note: this episode takes place before II2 17, and right after KIDS 3 (you can read that here: https://ao3-rd-8.onrender.com/works/57033922/chapters/145047049 - fair warning, there is some... let's say INTERESTING things, but you can easily skip those parts and enjoy it!). episode 15 will cover II2 17 & KIDS 13.
Chapter Text
The episode starts… the night before the challenge. In Test Tube’s room, to be specific. She seems to be just getting into bed when she hears knocking on the door.
Test Tube: “Eh- Why does someone need me so late at night?”
She opens the door, but nobody is there. Pan down to show a blue package. Notably, it has the Meeple logo on it.
Test Tube: “Meeple?...”
Test Tube: “...Well, it’s probably just a coincidence or something like that! Ha ha… yeah.”
Test Tube picks up the box and brings it into her room, closing the door. She opens it to reveal a hard drive inside simply labeled ‘NEWS’.
Test Tube: “News? News about what?”
Test Tube begins to sweat.
Test Tube: “That barely tells me anything about what it means, what if tells me something terrible happened to Blue, or Fan, or-”
Test Tube suddenly stops.
Test Tube: “...No. No, I can’t get all worked up about this! It could be just actual news.”
She takes the hard drive and connects it to the TV within her room (which she has, btw).
Test Tube: “...Well, here goes nothing…”
Steve Cobs: “Ah, Test Tube! You managed to work up the courage to play this, I see… well, it’s been a long time since we’ve talked, hasn’t it?”
Test Tube: “GAH!”
Steve Cobs has appeared on the TV, within his office.
Test Tube: “C-Cobs?!”
Steve Cobs: “Now, now. Let’s get down to business! I’m sure you’re wondering what I want to say to you.”
Test Tube: “Of course! Why would you-”
Steve Cobs: “Hush now, I’m speaking.”
Test Tube: “...”
Steve Cobs: “...Well, unless you weren’t saying anything. This is pre-recorded, after all!”
Test Tube now feels stupid for responding to Cobs.
Steve Cobs: “Anywho… I just wanted to let you know that you can’t escape Meeple, even in your silly little multiversal show.”
Test Tube: “But how…”
Steve Cobs: “Wondering how I even learned about that? I have my ways, let’s just leave it at that. Be- sides , it’s not any fun if I tell you how, because then you’ll certainly use it against me.”
Test Tube: “ Yeah, that’s- that’s fair. ”
Steve Cobs: “And while you’ve been gone, things have been… well, heating up, so to speak. I’d like you to take a look at some footage, if you may.”
The screen changes to show footage of II2 16 - specifically, the scene of OJ getting deleted. MePhone X is absent from the footage, however, presumably because of its cloaking abilities.
Test Tube: “Wh- OJ?! What happened-”
Steve Cobs: “Of course, he isn’t the only poor, unfortunate victim so far. And there will be many more! Perhaps even your precious Fan, hm…”
Test Tube goes quiet from Cobs’s words.
Steve Cobs: “Feeling scared? Well, I couldn’t blame you, really. It must be frightening knowing that the lives of your friends are at stake, and you can’t do anything about it because of your situation. Not like you could, anyways… because what can a lie do against a truth?”
Test Tube: “...”
Test Tube: “...A lie?”
Steve Cobs: “And by lie… ha, it’s quite the topic to delve into. I’ll start by posing you a simple question - when you auditioned for II, how did you find out about it?”
Test Tube tries to think, but nothing comes to mind…
Steve Cobs: “Perhaps you found an advertisement in the newspaper, or online… or a friend gave you a referral…”
The walls seem to close in on Test Tube as she racks her brain for answers, but finds none…
Steve Cobs: “Oh, and what’d you tell your friends when you got accepted? Your family? Do you remember how they felt?”
Test Tube can’t remember a single thing Cobs speaks of…
Steve Cobs: “You’re probably feeling despair over the lack of an answer, aren’t you? Well, lucky for you, I know what the truth is…”
Steve Cobs: “You’re not real.”
Test Tube: “...”
Steve Cobs: “MePhone4 made up all of his contestants. Appearance, personalities… but he never bothered to make up any backstories. What a hole in his grand design, am I right? The type of hole that grows and grows until it consumes what it digs into, becoming a bottomless pit.”
Steve Cobs: “In short terms, you’re simply a plaything, not designed to have any relevance beyond your role in competing. Even now, you’re perpetuating the cycle you were born into.”
Steve Cobs: “Ha… well, I hope you enjoy those nuggets of information. I’ll be seeing you again soon, Test Tube.”
The video ends.
Test Tube: “...”
Test Tube lies down in bed, completely silent.
.
..
…
..
.
Now, in the morning, we cut to inside RCoKJ’s meeting room.
King Julien: “Right now is prime time for campaigning for Cool Friends’s members to join the kingdom! Their elimination ceremony is scheduled for today, after all, so we can give them a veil of protection for when the time comes!”
Donkey: “So that means we’re getting those guys today, right?”
King Julien: “Precisely!”
Carl: “Consider it done.”
Spider-Ham: “Good luck in your recruitment, you two!”
Rocket nods in agreement.
Osana Najimi: “Yeah, good luck!”
…
…Everyone turns to see Najimi sitting in a chair.
Osana Najimi: “...Hi.”
King Julien: “Excuse me, but who are you?”
Osana Najimi: “I’m Osana Najimi! Just call me Najimi, though. Remember the last episode? I was there.”
Brief flashback.
King Julien: “...Ah, yes, I do remember now!”
Rocket: “But didn’t you get sent back home?”
Osana Najimi: “No, Koe completely failed at that. So now I’m here to stay~”
Spider-Ham: “...Then, uh, why are you here?”
Osana Najimi: “Dunno, I was just wandering around this place until I found this room and snuck in while you guys were talking.”
Donkey: “Well, hey! If ye’re here, ya might as well join us!”
Osana Najimi: “I don’t know what you’re talking about… but I’m all for joining whatever it is!”
Najimi gives two thumbs ups.
Donkey: “Sweet! That’s step one done! Time to get some more in!”
Carl: “I’ll threaten them if we have to.”
Donkey: “...”
Carl: “With a bomb.”
Donkey: “Carl, that ain’t a good idea.”
Carl: “Sure it is.”
Rocket: “It really isn’t.”
Carl: “Well… to each their own.”
Spider-Ham: “...Carl that’s not a ‘to each their own’ moment-”
Cut to Carl and Donkey entering CF’s hallway. Donkey knocks on a random door, which is opened from the inside by Kris.
Carl: “Let’s see, uh… have you heard of our lord and savior Jesus Christ-”
Donkey: “Wrong script, Carl!”
Carl: “Oh, ooh, sorry.”
Kris… stands awkwardly, seeming confused.
Carl: “What I meant to ask is if you want to join King Julien’s kingdom.”
Donkey: “There we go!”
Kris thinks for a moment, then goes back into their room briefly to grab some index cards. They write on one ‘tell me what this ‘kingdom’ is about and i might consider it’.
Donkey: “Oh, gladly!”
Insert description here I’m lazyyyyyyyy. Kris begins to write their answer on joining, but is interrupted by someone else arriving.
Wheatley: “Hey, Kris, what are these lads doing here? Do we have some door-to-door salesmen?”
Kris turns to Wheatley and briefly waves.
Donkey: “Oh, we’re just recruiting for King Julien’s kingdom! You can join, too, since you’re here!”
Wheatley: “Hm…”
Wheatley: “Well, I see no reason not to!”
Donkey: “Sweet!”
Carl: “Cheering sound effect.”
Kris writes ‘well if he’s joining i might as well’.
Donkey: “Sweet!”
Wheatley: “Didn’t you just say that?”
Donkey: “I couldn’t think of anything else to say.”
Wheatley: “Understandable, then!”
Carl: “We must go now. For reasons. Very… particular reasons.”
Donkey: “Please don’t make it sound like we’re gonna do somethin’ bad, man.”
Carl and Donkey leave. Wheatley immediately turns to Kris.
Wheatley: “I will be honest here and say that I don’t actually know what this whole kingdom thing is at all, do you?”
Kris writes ‘...kinda? i didn’t understand most of what they were telling me but i think i know the basic idea’.
Wheatley: “Good enough for me! And, I suppose we could always just leave if it turns out to not bode well for us.
Cut to BFDI, in their hallway. Nikoly and Squid are talking in hushed whispers, as Red and Tree-y sit on the side, Blocky unseen.
Red: “It’s 7 in the morning… we’ve never had a meeting this early, at least when I went… what could they want to talk about?”
Tree-y: “♪ it beats me we’ll just have to see ♪”
Blocky pops out of Tree-y’s leaves, spooking Red.
Blocky: “I betcha it’s gonna be about the murder and stealing and whatever other crime stuff happened. Ya never figured that out, right?”
Red: “I-I know I didn’t, but I didn’t have enough evidence…”
Blocky: “Yeah, well, Squid’s definitely going to get your ass about it, so get ready for that.”
Red: “I’m well aware by now…”
Nikoly and Squid stop whispering to each other and turn to their fellow BFDI-ers.
Squid: “Me and Nikoly have deduced who the culprit of the crime of burning the book and assassinating Blocky is.”
Nikoly: “You won’t believe number 5!”
Squid glares over at Nikoly.
Nikoly: “Sorry. Had to.”
Squid sighs.
Squid: “In any case, the most likely suspect… is Enderman.”
Red gets surprised, but chooses not to say anything.
Blocky: “Really? Dang, that kinda makes sense.”
Tree-y: “♪ i wish not to believe but i suppose its as it seems ♪”
Squid: “Of course, it’s likely that Enderman will not want to admit to their crime…”
Nikoly: “Very likely!”
Squid: “...So we’re going to have to play dirty. We’ll call them out for it before the challenge, and get them to confess themselves as guilty. Then we can enact our revenge.”
Red finally speaks up…
Red: “...Are you sure-”
Squid: “You have no right to question our decision when you couldn’t figure out anything yourself.”
Red immediately shuts up.
Nikoly: “Yeesh… don’t you think you’re going a bit hard on the guy, Squid?”
Squid: “I frankly couldn’t care less. Meeting dismissed, that’s all we need to discuss.”
Squid floats off. And, uh, I can’t think of anything else for the pre-elimination scenes, so… we’re skipping straight to the elimination. Woohoo! Cut to CF in the waiting room.
N: “Geez, this is kinda stressful. It’s been so long since we’ve up for elimination!”
Flowey: “Why the hell are you worrying? Every goddamn person knows you aren’t getting out.”
N: “Really? I dunno, anything could happen-”
Flowey: “Trust me, I know.”
Pizza Steve: “...How, bro?”
Flowey: “Irrelevant!”
Ploque: “I wouldn’t call that irrelevant -”
Koe opens the door.
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “Alright, elimination time! Get in here.”
Ploque: “Guess we’re not going to find out about that, then…”
CF enters the elimination room. Koe seems a bit off.
Amelia: “...Are you okay, Koe?”
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “Yeah, yeah, mostly, just- some other show came in and used the arena a couple days ago! Not like I have anything against crossovers, of course, but… could’ve asked about using it first. …Or, well, wasn’t even a crossover, really, just using a location.”
Wheatley: “If they’ve already been here, then could you not just ask?”
Koe snaps his fingers.
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “Good point, Wheatley! But that’s for after the challenge. Speaking of which, we need to actually get to the elimination! How’s it feel coming back here after so long, Cool Friends? Well, except Ploque, you’ve been here more often.”
Pizza Steve: “Pretty stressful, dude…”
Wheatley: “Mmhmm.”
Kris shrugs.
It’s a bit nerve-wracking, but… I’m fairly certain things will turn out fine. Right, Stanley?
N: “What he said!”
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “What who said?”
N: “Wait, do you not know abou-”
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “Eh, not important. First off, we got 29 votes! That’s… less than last time, but… oh well. First off, Pizza Steve got a big fat 0.”
Pizza Steve: “Come on, dude…”
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “Since there’s no vote reasons to read out, we’re going straight to the next person - or rather, people - who won’t be getting to spin, which are Kris and Wheatley with 1 vote each!”
Kris seems unfazed.
Wheatley: “Aw, phooey.”
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “And… they didn’t get any vote reasons either. Wow. So we’re going to the next loser, which is Amelia with 4 votes! Guess you won’t be getting to spin twice in a row.”
Amelia: “That’s fine, I guess…”
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “One reason you received reads ‘I love HFJone So Much!!!’.”
Amelia: “...I wouldn’t say it was very fun…”
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “Another reads ‘insert ONE intro theme.’.”
Amelia: “...Was there an intro?...”
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “Well, yeah. Anyways, your third reason reads ‘I feel like she deserves it, honestly. IDK’.”
Amelia: “Thanks, I suppose…”
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “And lastly, we have ‘melia :D
hihi
DUDEEEE IM HERE JUST ON TIME I FORGOT TO VOTE BEFORE
- EmberNyxtical’.”
Amelia: “...Hi?”
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “Wow there wasn’t much talking there. To the next person who won’t spin, it’s Ploque with just 5 votes!”
Ploque: “Well, that sucks… but I won’t complain too much, I guess.”
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “One vote you got reads ‘IF PLOQUE HAS A MILLION FANS THEN I'M ONE OF THEM
IF PLOQUE HAS A THOUSAND FANS THEN I'M ONE OF THEM
IF PLOQUE HAS TEN FANS I'M ONE OF THEM
IF PLOQUE HAS 1 FAN THAT I'M THAT FAN
IF PLOQUE HAS 0 FANS THEN I AM DEAD
TO MY DYING BREATH I WILL VOTE ADVANTAGE FOR PLOQUE’.”
Ploque: “That’s…”
Ploque: “That’s a surprising amount of devotion. Almost creepy, even.”
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “And another says ‘despite me voting ploque I would also be happy if amelia, kris or flowey got the spin’.”
Amelia: “Well, that didn’t happen…”
Flowey: “Yeah, maybe for you losers. I’m still in the running!”
Kris writes ‘ok cool good for you or whatever’.
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “Third up is ‘RAHHHHHHHH I LOVE PLOQUE‼️‼️‼️‼️👊👊👊👊👊👊 i love her saw powers AND i loved her course in af2 shes so cool (i hope this doesnt count as a spoiler)(is she aware of her course anyways) MY ADVENTURE FORWARD 2 BIAS IS REAL anyways i like her storyline in this im glad shes finally doing somewhat better :3 anyways am i allowed to ask questions to the contestants through here if i am then ploque how do you feel about the people youre competing with -average person’. For the record, yes, you’re allowed to ask the contestants about things. Or me… not sure why you’d want to, though.”
Ploque: “Well… I don’t actually know a lot of the other contestants… and I also don’t like a few of them… this team, though, I think I’d consider them my friends.”
Ploque: “...Except Flowey.”
Flowey: “Fuck you.”
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “And lastly, we have ‘I may not be the lore guy but i can still give out lore of A contestant
Ploque - Ploque was originally a normal person before Pointification. (im just calling it Pointification cause i dont know what to call it) she doesn't remember anything before her Pointification. She doesn't even remember her name being- *Gets cut off*’.”
Ploque: “...”
Ploque is dead silent.
N: “Uh… what was that about… being a human?”
Ploque says nothing.
N: “Oh, if it’s a sensitive topic, then I can just shut up-”
Ploque: “No, N, you’re fine, it’s just… not something I know about myself… more awkward than anything.”
N sighs in relief.
Wheatley: “Why did it get cut off, though? What’s wrong with mentioning her name?”
Amelia: “Maybe there’s a reason why…”
Wheatley: “Hm… I suppose that could be true.”
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “...Let’s move on from that and go to the votes for our final 3 - Flowey, N, and Stanley!”
Flowey: “Sure wonder who’s going to get to spin…”
Flowey glares over at N.
N: “What?”
I think I get what he means. Stanley does too.
N: “...”
N: “...I feel like I’m missing out on something.”
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “I’ll be reading 5 reasons each for you folks, starting with Flowey - ‘devil's advocate
-Night_Owl’.”
Wheatley suddenly has a dictionary, which he opens up.
Wheatley: “Erm, actually, devil’s advocate means you are advocating for the unpopular side, however since Flowey is in the final 3 he is not unpopular-”
Flowey: “NERD.”
Wheatley: “Wh- rude!”
Pizza Steve: “You did say ‘erm, actually’. He’s got a point here.”
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “Next is ‘Hi I think Flowery is goated, can he just win this competition quicker. Jk but I am rooting for him along with Squid and nikoly (sue me) I don’t remember what flowery even did but he’s just really cool.’.”
Flowey: “I have done things, for the record!”
Kris writes ‘like what’.
Flowey: “...Classified.”
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “Third is ‘haha funny flower guy’.”
Flowey: “Ha ha. Funny.”
Flowey is very sarcastic.
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “Fourth is ‘Commit more war crimes. Also I would send you a lethal weapon but I can only send safe-class stuff sadly. But I can send over this glitter grenade, also an instruction packet just in case you don’t actually know how to use a grenade. - Kairos craves violence.’...”
A glitter grenade and its instruction packet appear in front of Flowey.
Flowey: “Hell yeah!”
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “...and lastly is ‘i have a casually murderous antagonist bias’.”
Flowey: “Also hell yeah!”
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “Next, onto N, we first have ‘N is, in essence, the core of Cool Friends - the one person who connects the rest of his team members together. He's also been a major point of all the previous major arcs, and I don't foresee his relevance diminishing anytime soon.’.”
N: “Aw, thanks, anonymous voter!”
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “Next is ‘why? WELL...
N is the best!!!!!1‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️🥳🥳🥳😎😎😎 anyone who disagrees will face my wrath. (unless youre flowey, blocky, kris, wheatley, rocket.. sundew....) ANYWAYS. cya!!!1!! until next time 😈’.”
Ploque: “I don’t think anyone here would disagree with that…”
Pizza Steve: “Of course my main man is the best!”
Wheatley: “Well, he might not be the best - that’s a bit hard to pinpoint, don’t you think? - but I think he’s a swell lad!”
Kris nods in agreement. N looks flustered by all the praise.
N: “Guys…”
Pizza Steve glances over at Flowey, who looks away.
Pizza Steve: “And what say you, dude?
Flowey: “Nothing. You ain’t getting shit out of me.”
Pizza Steve: “Suit yourself, bro.”
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “Third up reads ‘*sighs* welp looks like you guys finally lost after your 11 episode winning streak, anuway I feel like Ploque just needs a pick me up.
Anywho Tiiiiiiiissssss I the LORE guy nice to finally meet you CF.
Here's some trivia
N is not hesitant to lick or use his tongue on things. He was willing to let Uzi put her hand in his mouth to heal her nanite wound and resorted to licking V's blade hand when they were in a blade lock, much to the latter's disgust. Both times he uses the word "repressed".’.”
N looks away awkwardly, digital sweat dripping down his face.
N: “They were… dire situations…”
Pizza Steve: “Hey, no judgment here, bro, you had to do what you had to do.”
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “Fourth is a big one, so I’ll split it into two halves - ‘My baby boy N you're so silly I love you mwah mwah
OK jokes aside here's some info for y'all (I might also talk about others from different groups who knows)
Before N met Uzi v bro used to be a frigging murder machine who commits cannibalism (aka. Drinking worker drones' oil)
N got turned into a marketable plushie go buy it guys!!!! Also a puppy N plushie’.”
N: “Oh, yeah, that uh… that happened, yeah…”
Wheatley: “Well, uh… at least you aren’t a cannibal anymore?”
Flowey: “Boring.”
Wheatley: “Flowey!”
Flowey: “What?! That would’ve been way cooler!”
Amelia: “...Koe, question, what was that about plushies-”
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “The other part reads ‘here idk if y'all needed this but Rocket!! From team RCoKJ!! My favourite fandom
He's adopted. He would turn absolute feral if you even insult his (adoptive) father
I'm pretty sad seeing him rather underrated in here but damn y'all gotta see his Phinisher he makes a whole rain of high damaging projectiles (although he might accidently kill himself during it)
Clumsy as hell. He lost 2 limbs because of it. (also blew up like 3 buildings ig)
He is an absolute nightmare besides Biografts (if you can creator make him explain the robots) for me in matches
TBH yall don't have to worry too much about Rocket, he's a chill guy but don't underestimate him :3 good luck yall
- Moki (yes I am the one who voted PS out again no offense I wish you the best)
Also Kris looks so emo’.”
Pizza Steve: “Wow, that’s a whole infodump.”
Ploque shuffles in her seat awkwardly upon the… many mentionings of Rocket. Nobody notices, except…
Ploque?
She pretends to not hear.
…Oh, whatever. I suppose it’s nothing.
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “And finally, we have ‘YOU YES YOU N!!! I HAVE A [HOT HOT DEAL] FOR YOU, I WILL GIVE TO YOU MY [Sweet, fresh and nice] VOTE TO HELP YOU GET THAT [sweeeeet vicccttooory yeeeah] AND IN RETURN YOU CAN HELP ME REACH [HEAVEN] BY GETTING ME A [heart shaped object] HOW DOES IT SOUND????’.”
Kris immediately recognizes who it is, and turns around to N quickly, who seems to be thinking.
N: “Hm… I dunno much about any heart-shaped objects… but I’ll try, since you asked nicely!”
Darkness befalls Kris’s face.
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “And for Stanley, our first vote reads ‘The Stanley Parable has recently become one of my favorite games. Portal 2, Deltarune, and Undertale are fun and such, ONE and Murder Drones is fun to watch, I just went with my most recent game I like.
Hope you all have a good life, (I don't know what else I'm supposed to say) -CatSnakeRaven’.”
…What are those other things? I was already well aware of the Stanley Parable - and yes, Stanley, it is named after you, good for you - but what is a…
I would’ve been nice enough to tell you, but I’m not going to give everyone else an existential crisis, so…
Figures.
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “Next reads ‘Stanley barely does anything but Narrator carries this vote tbh -Tayoga’. …Who?”
And there we have it. He really doesn’t have any idea about me.
The members of CF who know about Narrator look at each other, questioning if they should tell Koe… but decide against it.
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “Third up is… uh… interesting… and also will be in two parts… ‘O-o jshgsgysgeuusuhsjwuhsgshhsgshsuyshsjyxgffhshgstysyusiwopwoiuyqiqioowoiisusiisososijdhdjidisuhsgshwhjwj
I’m am going have of into infinity insanity for indefinite periods and such yay yay yay yay yay yay waho *uterly obliterates Mario for interrupting me* (btw I just beat paper Mario the thousand year door and it is so so sooooo good.) yayayayayayayayyayayyayay yipy *devorers Mario’s soul for daring to interrupt me again* AAAAAAaaAAaAAAAAAAAAAaaaAaAaaaAaAaAaaaaaaaaa’.”
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “...”
Flowey: “...The fuck?”
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “Yeah I got no clue either. ‘Any way as the lore mans/ bartholimele Bob I will give more insight on bowser lore
Apparently bowser’s son bowser jr dose have a mom and his mom is Shigeru Miyamoto which is weird sense that basically means that bowser somehow had a child with the literal creator of his entire universe somehow and the that the person who gave birth to bowser jr is also a man. ( I have lost any shred of sanity and it has been all replaced by hyper fixations and fanfiction ) :D’.”
Ploque: “The implications of that are… peculiar…”
Let’s not delve into that, shall we?
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “Next is ‘i can't believe stanley (of parable fame) is still not present in their voting icon. how hard could it be to depict a character with zero canon design. this completely ruins my immersion and i am sorrowful to say that i will continue to enjoy and vote on the competition’.”
…For the record, Stanley does have a canon design, sorta? I mean, he’s got a model in the game… thing is… I’m just too lazy to update the icon. Yeah. Yeah that’s literally the only reason why it’s still like that.
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “And lastly, we have ‘When the reader came to a Google forms with 8 choices, he picked the second choice from the top.
Reader? Reader did you not hear me? I said: “When the reader came to a Google forms with 8 choices, he picked. The second choice. From the top.” Reader! Reader, are you ignoring me?
Okay, reader, let’s try again. From the beginning this time. When the reader came to a Google forms with 8 - Hey reader, come back here! You’re supposed to pick the SECOND CHOICE, SECOND CHOICE, reader!
…After the reader was done exploring the seventh choice, he decided that yes, it was indeed time to return to the second choice. That the seventh choice was quite boring honestly and had no apparent value! Reader! Stop ignoring me! This is MY Google forms, not yours! …Reader?
Fine then reader, have it your way.
- That guy who accidentally misgendered you (sorry)’. I’m not sure what’s happening there but-”
…Is that another-
Probably.
…
Well, I had been aware of there being multiple endings… but multiple of me…
does he know
What.
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “-whatever, let’s just get to revealing who wins!”
Are you seriously going to just skip over that like it’s nothing?
Mmhmm.
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “The lucky spinner is…”
Drumroll, and…
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “Well, it’s a 3-way tie!”
Flowey: “SERIOUSLY?!”
N: “Woah!”
…I suppose that explains why he didn’t mention how many votes we got.
N: “So… who gets to spin, then?”
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “Good question!”
Koe pulls out a mini-wheel, with the pieces on it saying Flowey, N, and Stanley.
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “I’ll spin this wheel and whoever it lands on gets to spin!”
Flowey: “That sucks.”
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “Well… it’s the best I have, so…”
Koe spins the mini-wheel, and it lands on…
Stanley!
Flowey: “FUCK”
N: “Aw… but hey, good job, Stanley!”
…
…Stanley says thank you.
I’m pretty pleased with this outcome as well.
Figured it’d make up for not being nice for once earlier.
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “We have one last vote reason to read, however, and this one goes towards Flowey - ‘The silly goat child is right up there in my list of favourite characters of course I’m voting him! Also apparently materialising things with voting reasons is the cool thing to do now so uh. Have a poison dart frog I guess - ADAGE’.”
A poison dart frog appears on N’s face, which freaks him out as he didn’t expect it and has never seen a frog before. He stumbles and falls out of his seat.
N: “GAH!”
Pizza Steve: “You alright, dude?”
N: “Uh, yeah, I- I think so!”
The poison dart frog hops outside to claim another victim. Meanwhile, Flowey is just… sitting still. No reaction to the vote reason.
Amelia: “...Flow-”
Flowey: “I’M FINE.”
Amelia: “...”
Amelia: “...If you say so…”
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “Alright, that’s over, now get up here and spin, Stanley!”
And so Stanley got up from his seat and spun the wheel, hoping for something good. And what did it land on?...
It had landed on something called an ‘IOU’. But what is an IOU? I certainly don’t know.
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “Wondering what an IOU is, aren’tcha, Stanley? Well-”
Koe summons an IOU from thin air and hands it to Stanley.
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “You can use it at any time during the competition to do nearly anything. There’s restrictions, of course - you can’t involve me in its usage at all, for example - but it’s near-limitless.”
Stanley took the IOU, and returned to his seat. Such a powerful item… however, he had no idea what to do with it.
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “Don’t feel stressed about needing to use it now, of course! You can use it at any time, or, well, at least if you’re still in the game. If you’re eliminated, you can’t do anything with it.”
That gave some more time to think over it, thankfully, so Stanley could rest easy for now.
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “And now that that’s over, it’s time to get to the main event - the elimination!”
…Or, at least, as easy as someone could rest while they’re still at risk of elimination.
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “First safe is, of course, Amelia, since she got immunity!”
Koe tosses a frisbee to Amelia, who manages to catch it before it shatters her.
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “And since there’s no vote reasons to read, we’ll go to the next people safe, which are Flowey and Stanley with 1 vote each!”
Koe tosses two more frisbees. Flowey knocks his away.
Stanley catches the frisbee and puts it down on the ground. He didn’t particularly need such a… peculiar prize.
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “Flowey’s singular vote reason reads ‘He may be powerful but he's also a dang jerk >:( -Tayoga’.”
Flowey: “I know that. You think I don’t? That’s the whole point!”
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “And Stanley received no vote reason, so we’ll just be going to our next safe contestants, where we have a triple whammy! Kris, N, Ploque-”
Koe tosses frisbees to all three. Kris and Ploque catch theirs, while N is bonked in the head, as he had not finished returning to his seat yet.
N: “Ow!”
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “You’re all safe with 3 votes each!”
Ploque: “Uh, cool…”
Ploque turns to N.
Ploque: “N, are you okay?”
N: “Yeah, uh, it didn’t hurt too bad, thankfully!”
N finally gets back into his seat. All the meanwhile, Kris is just chilling.
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “Kris’s first vote reason reads ‘their whole thing is over, now they kinda lame. also those car tires did nothing to you, bitch.’.”
Pizza Steve: “What tires?”
Kris stays silent.
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “And their other vote reads ‘Ehhh, I mean, I dunno tbh.
(Can you give a tiny Venus Dragontrap to sundew? Thanks koe)’.”
A tiny Venus Dragontrap has been airdropped to Sundew.
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “Next, for N, we first have ‘just kinda the one on the team that I like the least.’.”
N: “Aw… well, I guess that’s fair, at least!”
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “Next is ‘I honestly think N is kinda annoying rn, idk why but he’s just not vibing with me today.
Flowery and Ploque are easily on my favorites for this team and I’m starting to realize I might have a favorite personality,,, Stanly and Pizza are next on my hit list.
Fywgsb I did not expect Sundew to not go back to BFDI which was one of the 4 reason why I voted them. 😔’.”
Saying who you want to vote next may not go over well…
N: “Annoying? A-am I annoying?!”
Pizza Steve: “Heck no, man! I don’t see how anyone could find you annoying!”
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “And lastly, we have ‘I think Ploque’s reaction if N got eliminated would be funny - ADAGE’.”
Ploque: “...”
Ploque: “Jerk.”
N: “Yeah, that’s not very nice!”
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “Lastly, for Ploque, her first vote reason reads ‘everyone here is so good...can they go on another 11 episode winning streak’.”
Wheatley: “Wouldn’t that be statistically impossible?”
Flowey: “Nerd.”
Wheatley: “Hey! I hadn’t said ‘erm, actually’ this time!”
For the record, Wheatley is correct. For various reasons, including ones I won’t elaborate further on.
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “Ploque’s other vote says ‘HELLO [Ladies and gentlemen] IT IS I [NUMBER 1 RATED SALESMEN 1997] SPAMTON G SPAMTON AND I MUST SAY OUT OF ALL OF THESE [little dancing puppets on strings] YOU PLOQUE MUST [Exit through the nearest door available] RIGHT NOW!!!!’.”
Ploque: “...Wha-”
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “Final two! It’s between Pizza Steve and Wheatley! One of you got 8 votes and the other 10! I honestly thought the one of you with the fewer votes was going to be eliminated instead! How are you two feeling about being in danger for the first time in a long while?”
Pizza Steve: “Now I’m super stressed, dude…”
Wheatley: “It’s an uncomfortable feeling, but… I had survived in second place last time, didn’t I? So I should be safe again, yes!”
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “Well, we’ll just have to see. I’ll read out 6 votes per person, starting with P. Steve - ‘Not the biggest pizza fan tbh’.”
Pizza Steve: “Hey, pizza tastes good!”
…You are aware that is cannibalism, correct, Pizza Steve?
Pizza Steve nods in confirmation.
Oh dear.
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “Next is ‘IDK who you or Ploque is decided to just picked one. Sorry’. Ah, the classic ‘don’t know who you are’. Quite the staple of eliminations…”
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “Steve’s third reason reads ‘Everyone else is from a series/game I like, and Ploque has a good character, so that leaves Pizza Steve. Sorry, but even though I know you, you have the least priority on my list of people I don't want to kill. (I definitely don't have a list of people I want to kill, what makes you think that?)
Hope you all don't permanently die, (well, everyone will permanently die eventually so I guess I hope you live as long as you want to) -CatSnakeRaven’.”
N: “All the… mentions of death… worry me a little.”
Kris writes ‘probably nothing’.
Flowey: “Probably something.”
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “Fourth is, uhh… pretty long. ‘Sundew is safe - i sleep
Attention all dragon lovers: Mission successful. Fierce Snudoo is safe. We have won. Thank you all for supporting true, undiluted justice and democracy!
Now, on another note,
Mmmm, pizza! Pizza! Pizza is kind of an overrated food. Not saying it tastes bad or anything, but it’s not really that good either. Like if you think about it, pizza is just cheese and tomatoes on dough. Again, not bad, just average.
I wonder why people like eating pizza anyways. Is the love of pizza just an unconscious bias driven forward by our peers and by media? Surely no one dish can be loved by so many just for its taste and texture (which is kind of dry, if you ask me!).
One example that comes to mind is the ninja turtles. They love pizza. Kids love watching the ninja turtles, so they in turn love eating pizza. Friends also influence this food preference. If you hear a buddy say repeatedly that they love pizza, through peer pressure alone you will probably begin liking it too.
All this brings us to the question: is our love for pizza truly our own? Or was it through the influence of media and others that this Italian dish has become so popular? Who knows!
(And sorry, MISS Author, for unintentionally misgendering you!)
-That one guy who called you Mr Author’.”
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “...”
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “I’ll be real, I wasn't expecting an introspective on pizza but okay…”
Btw don’t worry about the accidental misgendering, it's fine -the author, Upsilon (I, as the narrator (not The Narrator, just the narrator), agree with this statement.)
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “...next is ‘Idk... I feel like PSteves present is a bit dull, also I only know 3 fandom out of y'all (Murder drones, undertale n delatune? I forgor the name) so no offense
-Moki’.”
And there we have those again. Are you really not going to tell me what those mean?
Yeah.
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “Lastly, we have ‘im hongry’. Wow, that’s… that’s insightful.”
Flowey: “No the fuck it is not.”
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “Sarcasm! Anyways, for Wheatley, we start with ‘really idk tbh all these guys are pretty fun!!! im sad they had to be ufe :((( anyways im choosing him cause hes BRITISH EUGHHHH /jjj all jokes aside i really didnt wanna have to vote </3 -average person’.”
N: “What’s a British?”
We’re not doing this again.
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “Next is ‘It's been a good run for ya Wheatley but in my personal opinion you don't really bring much to the table.
Anyways Tiiiiiiiissssss I the LORE guy
Here's todays fun fact
Didya know
During the 2011 Video Game Awards, Wheatley was nominated for "Character of the Year". He then made an appearance on the event which depicted him in space as he states that he would be even more honored for a space shuttle rescue.
Ahhh I can probs get promoted after this voting ends, lets FUCKING GOOOOO!’.”
Wheatley: “The first line makes me feel nervous…”
N: “Hey, uh, it’ll, uh…”
N makes an attempt at easing Wheatley’s worries, but that isn’t easy to do when it’s between him and N’s own best friend.
N: “...uh…”
Don’t worry about it, N. It’ll be fine.
…
…Probably.
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “Third is ‘I honestly forgot Wheatley was even ON this show... what did he do again?’.”
Wheatley: “I have done quite a lot, thank you!”
Flowey: “Yeah, like what?”
Wheatley: “Well…”
Flashback to Wheatley… playing basketball??? And he’s balling…
Wheatley: “I got a slam dunk in baske-”
Instant flashback end.
Flowey: “WE NEVER PLAYED BASKETBALL.”
Wheatley: “Dagnabbit, you caught me!”
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “Next vote reason reads ‘What does he do beside ramble on about every topic ever conceived by people? Side note: I'm rooting for Stanley and the Narrator to win, purely to spite the actual show's narrator.’. The… who and the what?”
Screw you.
Being supported purely out of spite is… odd, but I see no reason to be against it, right, Stanley?
Also screw you.
I hadn’t even insulted you directly-
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “Fifth is ‘You are not friend material. Koe, send him back into orbit. -Kairos eated all the cookies’.”
Wheatley is temporarily sent into orbit.
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “I’ll… bring him back in a bit.”
Amelia: “Was that necessary?...”
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “Yes.”
…
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “Maybe.”
…
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “No, but it was funny.”
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “Okay, last reason, it’s a big one so it’ll be cut up into chunks - ‘Cool Friends is a great team - easily the best as of right now, even - so choosing someone to eliminate is hard... so I'll list off my process for choosing.
Amelia - She's already immune, so immediately at the top of the list - though it wouldn't hurt to talk about her. She's one of the lower-ranked members, mostly due to her lack of presence - however, the arc with her and Plankton definitely boosts her up a bit, especially with that one scene in episode 12.’.”
Amelia: “Well… I guess they’re not wrong about my lack of presence…”
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “‘Ploque - She's gone through a whole lot, and for that I have to give her some respect. In any case, she's a very good character - close to being the best, even.’.”
Ploque: “Thanks…”
Ploque seems a bit embarrassed by being praised so highly.
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “‘Flowey - Without spoiling anything, his relevance in this and last episode has set up an interesting mini-arc. And even excluding that, he's a pretty well-rounded character.’.”
Flowey: “Hell yeah!”
Pizza Steve: “What spoilers-”
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “Nuh uh”
Pizza Steve: “...Okay, bro.”
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “Y’know, speaking of you - ‘Pizza Steve - While he doesn't play much of a major role (his only episode of importance being episode 6), he's a good backup to N.’.”
Pizza Steve: “Well, I’ll take it! Thanks, dude!”
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “‘Kris - They're good. There isn't much to mention about them.’.”
Kris shrugs in a ‘fair enough’ manner.
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “‘Stanley & Narrator - Same as Kris. I do like how Narrator's begun to have an actual presence with the majority of his fellow teammates, though.’. Okay, seriously, who is this Narrator guy?”
He will never know, for the record. I will blow up anyone who tries to tell him (and by that I mean it’ll be considered spoilers and removed from your vote reason).
…Why?
Funny.
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “And then, for the voted person himself…”
Wheatley is teleported back into his seat.
Wheatley: “Finally-”
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “‘Wheatley - For the record, I do not hate Wheatley, he's a good character. He's just the least good.’.”
Wheatley: “...”
Wheatley: “Was the timing just so I could hear me getting… well, I suppose not insulted , but something akin to it?”
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “I figured you should hear why you were voted, so…”
Wheatley: “Then that’s fair.”
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “Okay! Pizza Steve! Wheatley! Time to reveal which of you is getting the boot!”
Drumroll part 2, and…
Wheatley has 8 votes.
Pizza Steve has 10.
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “And down goes the pizza! Wheatley is safe!”
A frisbee shatters Wheatley’s… eye?
Wheatley: “HEY, WHO TURNED OUT THE LIGHTS?! AND WHY’D IT HURT?!”
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “...”
Koe rotates away from Wheatley with a creaking sound.
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “Yeah, uh, your time’s up, Pizza Steve.”
Pizza Steve: “You’re- you’re joking, right? Cause it ain’t a cool joke, man!”
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “As much as I love to joke, I’m completely serious about voting! You are eliminated.”
Pizza Steve: “Dude…”
N pats Pizza Steve on the back.
N: “It’s sad to see you go… but hey, you tried your best! That’s what counts!”
Pizza Steve: “Mhm, yeah…”
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “For your remaining vote reasons, we start with ‘The pizza has gone cold (as in he just doesn’t do much anymore)
As for cool commentary I just wanted to say that it is extremely funny to me that I first found this looking for my singing monsters fan fiction and yet in this series the one character this season from msm is my least favorite character on this show just so ironic isn’t it?
-The Spector that shot him self’.”
Cut to the THoE’s stasis world. Hyehehe is quote-unquote ‘playing poker’ with a frozen Golurk and Nacho. It turns to look at the screen.
Hyehehe: “Skill issue!”
Cut back to the elimination.
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “...Did anyone else feel that?”
Wheatley: “I didn’t feel anything!”
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “Whatever. Next reason for Pizza Steve reads ‘so ummm... i voted the pizza guy because i dont know him compared to anyone else
HI N!!! HI FLOWEY!! HI KRIS!! HI WHEATLEY!!!! also i dont know ploque but i've atleast heard of where he's from. so.’.”
N waves to… well… the voter, I suppose.
Pizza Steve: “I suppose I can’t blame you for that, bro.”
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “Third is ‘pizza. like freddy five bear pizza. needs to be eliminated so i can eat it.
also bill got robbed’.”
Cut to the THoE again. Hyehehe hides behind Bill and shakes him around as it talks in a Bill-like voice.
Hyehehe: “Of course I was robbed! Why the hell’d they let that idiot in and not me, Bill Cipher? It’s outrageous!”
Hyehehe then skedaddles away, letting Bill drift in the void again. Cut back.
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “Lastly, we have ‘... honestly i dont know i just chose randomly cus i dont want any of em to be eliminated :(
also another thing!!!
send the next part to rocket pls (only if its allowed)’. Noted, I will send it!”
Woohoo vote reason delivery. Cut to Rocket. The vote reason does NOT fall on his face this time, just on a nightstand next to it. He’s sleeping right now but you can read what it reads…
‘hey rocket!!!! summoning an iphone at ur location that can call n text ppl across dimensions/universes/whatever and can access the internets of diff realities at ease!!! sword medkit and zuka r already in ur contacts but if theres anyone else you wanna just put their phone number and autodetect universe of origin, and itll make it go to ur universe therefore will let you call n text them!!
you can also get the numbers of anyone here u wanna be able to contact, jsut select the "current universe" option when u add them and itll direct it to here!! and dw abt if they move universes its locked on to them specifically so itll change w them :3
- EmberNyxtical’
An iPhone also appears on the nightstand, next to the vote reason.
Cut back to the elimination area.
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “And that’s all the vote reasons… Pizza Steve, any last words before you go?”
Pizza Steve: “Can I have a few, dude?”
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “Yeah, sure, just don’t take too long.”
Pizza Steve: “Got it, bro!”
Pizza Steve hops out of his chair.
Pizza Steve: “Thank you so much, dudes. My time here might’ve been shorter than I wanted, but bros, you made it pretty dang enjoyable. I got some personal words as well.”
Pizza Steve first walks over to Amelia.
Pizza Steve: “We might’ve not talked all too much, but I think you’re a pretty chill person, Amelia.”
Amelia: “Oh, thanks…”
Pizza Steve goes over to Flowey next.
Pizza Steve: “Flowey! While we may have our differences, and you did cook me that one time-”
Flowey: “For good reason!”
Pizza Steve: “...yeah, well, I don’t blame you at all, dude, and I still hope you go pretty far!”
Pizza Steve then goes to Kris.
Pizza Steve: “Same deal, Kris, hope ya go far, even if you also cooked me.”
Kris and Pizza Steve fistbump. Pizza Steve then walks over to N.
Pizza Steve: “N! My main man! You’re the raddest dude I’ve met, and that’s no joke.”
N: “Aw, thanks, Steve!”
Pizza Steve: “Pleasure’s mine, bro.”
N and Pizza Steve do an elaborate fistbump-handshake thing. Pizza Steve then goes over to Ploque.
Pizza Steve: “May not have known you for as long as the rest of the team, but you’re a pretty good person, Ploque.”
Ploque: “...Thanks.”
Pizza Steve: “Oh, and…”
Pizza Steve leans in to whisper to her.
Pizza Steve: “ Good luck with N. ”
As Ploque fully registers what he meant and becomes embarrassed, Pizza Steve walks over to Stanley next.
Pizza Steve: “Stanley! You’re quiet, but no judgment from me. You’re a pretty neat guy.”
Stanley says thanks for the compliment.
Pizza Steve whispers again.
Pizza Steve: “ I’m only whispering since otherwise Koe’ll probably get confused and stuff, but even though I barely got to know you, you’re also pretty chill, Narrator dude. ”
Ah, well, thank you as well… …Shut up, Stanley.
Lastly, Pizza Steve walks over to Wheatley.
Pizza Steve: “And Wheatley!”
Wheatley: “Ah, Pizza Steve! Uh, apologies about-”
Pizza Steve: “No, no, you’re good, no hard feelings about you getting safe over me. May be bummed out about it, but I ain’t blaming you or anything. Play it safe for me, alright, dude?”
Wheatley: “I’ll make an attempt!”
Pizza Steve walks over to Koe.
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “Finished?”
Pizza Steve: “Yep! Got everything I wanted to say out of my system.”
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “Okay, cool. Time for you to go now.”
Koe pulls out the THoE and fires it at Pizza Steve, enveloping him in a ray of light. When the light fades, he’s gone.
N: “...I’m gonna miss him.”
Wheatley: “We all are, N…”
Flowey rolls his eyes.
Wheatley: “...But, lad, don’t let it get you down! We gotta stay strong!”
N: “...Yeah, you’re right!”
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “Well, I suppose we’ll see how far that resolve takes you folks in a few hours!”
Koe walks out of the elimination room, as CF - now missing Pizza Steve - follows after. And as the last one - that being N - leaves, he strikes a familiar pose of putting his hand up...
Cut to challenge time! However, instead of starting outside, we’re starting inside the lobby, as Koe hops down a flight of stairs.
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “Alrighty, challenge time! I got a nice and fun one for today! Shouldn’t be too bad, either-”
As Koe opens the door, he is immediately greeted by a very loud argument between Enderman and Squid, as everyone else crowds around the two. Koe pushes his way through to get to the fighters.
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “Woah, woah, woah, what the heck’s going on here?”
Enderman: “Squid is trying to accuse me of something I didn’t do.”
Squid: “I’ve thrown the evidence in your face and yet you refuse to acknowledge it!”
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “Can we save this for later?...”
Squid: “I demand retribution! We won that book fair and square and you burned it!”
Enderman: “I did not.”
A mental switch turns on in Koe.
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “...You say that book was destroyed?”
Squid: “The one that Blocky won from the wheel.”
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “Alright, now this is personal. And I have just the way of dealing with this… shame that I’ll have to move that challenge to a future episode, though.”
Enderman: “What do you mean by that-”
Koe snaps, and he + all the contestants appear in a courtroom.
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “So! Since somebody destroyed my property and we have an accusation from Squid against Enderman, we’re going to COURT!”
Nikoly: “Holy shit it’s Ace Attorney.”
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “The prosecution will be Squid, with, uh…”
Koe looks around at the group for a moment.
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “You!”
Koe points at Nikoly.
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “Nikoly will be the attorney for Squid.”
Nikoly: “Neat.”
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “And Enderman will be the defendant, with…”
Koe points at Science Bear.
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “Science Bear as the attorney.”
Science Bear: “I will attempt to do my best.”
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “These two teams will battle it out on the legal floor for the case of if Enderman destroyed the Book of Truths or not. Once time is up, we will have a jury of 12 decide unanimously if Enderman is guilty or not. If Enderman is found guilty and is the culprit, IDIOT loses. If Enderman is found innocent and is not the culprit, BFDI loses. If the jury votes for either option and gets it wrong, one of the other three teams will be put up for elimination at random.”
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “As for who makes up the jury…”
Koe takes off his sunglasses as his screen changes to show a ‘TEAM RANDOMIZER 3000’.
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “I’ll use this. I know it says team, it’s for team making, but it’s going to act as a stand-in. 4 people from each team that isn’t BFDI or IDIOT will be chosen.”
The randomizer activates, and it reveals the jury members…
Artificer, Carl, Flowey, King Julien, the Knight, N, Plasma Ball, Ploque, Rocket, Spider-Ham, Torch God, and Wheatley are all selected.
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “You lucky 12 hold the fate of the challenge in your very hands! Everyone else will get to watch the challenge play out. Good luck, those in play, and let’s get to the challenge!”
Koe claps, sending him to the judge’s podium, Enderman and Science Bear to the defendant’s side, Squid and Nikoly to the prosecution’s side, the jury members to the jury box, and everyone else to a viewing point above the courtroom.
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “Court is now in session! Squid, you may go first, and state what happened, to your knowledge.”
Squid: “Gladly. Two weeks ago, the night before the previous challenge started, Blocky was killed in his room, and his book he received as a prize from the spin wheel was burned.”
Squid: “I have every reason to believe it was Enderman that committed this crime: They could have found out about the book, they have the drive to destroy the book and kill Blocky, they could have entered and left the room without a trace.”
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “As for Enderman’s statement…”
Enderman: “I have no reason to do that. I am quite annoyed that you think of me so lowly. I am sure that you will be shown just how incorrect your perception of things is.”
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “Thanks, you two. Now, get to debating!”
Science Bear: “I shall start. Squid, I will say that your evidence is fair, but can you not attribute this information to others?”
Science Bear: “First off, the knowledge of the book. I certainly didn’t know about it before this debacle, and who’s to say Enderman had no clue either? Your suspicions are entirely hinged on whether or not they were informed prior to the crime’s occurrence.”
Nikoly: “Objection!”
A png of Phoenix Wright and Miles Edgeworth kissing fades in.
Nikoly: “No, wait, wrong time for that.”
Nikoly: “Anyways! Red and Enderman are buddies and stuff. And y’know what team Red’s on? Ours! So he could’ve told Enderman about the book, and Enderman could’ve thought ‘hey that ain’t good’, so they went to destroy it!”
Science Bear: “Once again, that’s simply a theory, isn’t it? We have no reason to believe that’s the truth.”
Nikoly: “Well…”
Nikoly turns to Koe.
Nikoly: “Can we call up people to testify, since there’s no witnesses?”
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “Yep!”
Nikoly: “Alrighty then! Red, I call you up to the stand!”
Red is teleported up.
Red: “Uhh… hi…”
Nikoly: “Now, tell me, Red. What did you do on the night of September 21st?”
Red: “...???”
Nikoly: “that was a joke sorry”
Nikoly: “In all seriousnesses, though, did you happen to tell Enderman about the truth book at all? Before Blocky was killed, of course.”
Red: “...”
The screen zooms in on Red.
Red: “...”
Red: “...I may have mentioned it in passing…”
Nikoly: “Boom! See, nerd bear? It wasn’t a theory!”
Science Bear: “It was a theory, just one proven right… but that’s only a minor setback for us. Unless, of course, Red is committing perjury-”
Enderman: “No, he is telling the truth. That does not mean I did anything, though.”
Science Bear: “...Alright, then that’s one point for you two. However, that does not detract from the statement that you are wrong. I present my next reasoning for why Enderman is innocent - motivation . What could you have done to them that would incite such a drastic move?”
Nikoly: “Simple! They wanted to destroy the book. Obviously people would be threatened by it, right? So why not get rid of it?”
Science Bear: “There’s a hole in that logic, though - why go through the effort of killing Blocky as well? Or burning the book? Enderman could have easily hid it away where nobody could find it.”
Nikoly: “For the burning part, probably to get rid of it completely. As for the murder…”
Nikoly: “Well, I’m kinda just spitballing here, but perhaps Blocky woke up or smth and Enderman killed him out of the need to make sure he didn’t blab.”
Science Bear: “Your hypothesis has many empty spaces in it. First and foremost, wouldn’t Blocky have remembered the event if he was awake at the time?”
Nikoly: “...Damn, you’re right…”
Nikoly: “Uhhhhhhh… hmmmmm…”
Nikoly: “Maybe it was a precautionary measure?”
Science Bear: “That is believable… However, it brings me to my second question. Do we know the method of murder was in a way that Enderman could’ve possibly done quietly? I ask this only because I had never seen the scene of death myself, so there is no evidence to go off on.”
Nikoly: “Thankfully, I made a sketch of what it looked like after I recovered from seeing a dead body!”
Science Bear: “...That was too much information, frankly.”
Nikoly: “Yeah, yeah, true. Anyways look at it!”
A screen pops out of the ground in front of the judge’s stand, showing Nikoly’s sketch.
Science Bear: “...”
Science Bear: “Why-”
Nikoly: “Oh, that drawing of me in the corner? It looked boring without anything else.”
Science Bear: “I meant-”
Nikoly: “Also the purple thing is his blanket. It was on the floor, for some reason.”
Science Bear: “...Nikoly, I was referring to the window.”
Nikoly: “Huh?”
Science Bear: “It is open.”
Nikoly: “...Yeah, I don’t see how that’s important.”
Science Bear: “It means someone must’ve entered the room from outside the building .”
Nikoly: “.”
Nikoly: “oh shit”
Science Bear: “Therefore, there are a plethora of people it could have been instead of Enderman. And, of course, Enderman would have no reason to open the window themselves. So, clearly, it has to be one of those not here on the courtroom floor…”
Science Bear glances over to look at both the jury and the spectators. Cut to the former, or in specific, Carl and Flowey. The two whisper to each other, both staying quiet enough that nobody can hear them.
Flowey: “ He’s onto us… fuuuuck… how did we never notice we didn’t close the window all the way? ”
Carl: “ To be fair, I could have not realized because I was too delighted by what I had done. ”
Flowey: “ Yeah, me too, and look where that got us. Let’s just pray that some bullshit happens and the topic is dropped. ”
Cutting back to the main court, Science Bear returns to look at Nikoly.
Science Bear: “Before making baseless claims that Enderman is the culprit, let’s review other candidates. There is no reason to falsely incriminate when there are further suspects.”
Science Bear: “...If we’re allowed to quickly investigate, that is.”
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “I’ll allow it! If one of them confesses, then that’s an easy punishment to hand out, anyways.”
Cutting back to the jury, Flowey is now sweating. Wheatley turns to him.
Wheatley: “Flowey, are you-”
Flowey: “Wowwwww it’s so hot in here. Someone should turn the AC on. That would be really fucking great.”
Wheatley: “...I’ll take that as a yes?”
Okay, last cut for a while, I swear, anyways back to the main people.
Nikoly: “Ughhhh, alright, fine. Womp womp.”
Science Bear: “Are the other two of you fine with this side-tangent?”
Enderman: “Yes.”
Squid: “ Unfortunately , I don’t have a choice in the matter. I’d rather say no so we can just get this shit over with, but I’ll vote yes anyways, since everyone else did already.”
Science Bear: “Glad to see we can come to an agreement. But before we begin, Nikoly, who do you know that has knowledge of the book? I wouldn’t be able to know myself, having never heard of it before.”
Nikoly: “The entirety of NNIT.”
Science Bear: “I see… Plankton, I shall call you to stand.”
Plankton gets teleported.
Plankton: “Wh- WHY ME?”
Science Bear: “Well, I wouldn’t want to interfere with the jury, so you were my only option.”
Plankton: “Ugh… fine. What the barnacles do you want from me, then?”
Science Bear: “I simply want to ask if you or any of your teammates committed the crime. And please don’t lie about it, either.”
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “Yeah, I have my lie-sensing abilities on right now. If you lie, your team automatically goes up for elimination.”
Plankton: “WHY DID YOU WAIT UNTIL NOW TO REVEAL THAT???”
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “:P”
Nikoly: “Wouldn’t it be BP?”
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “Oh, yeah, true…”
Plankton: “...”
Science Bear: “...Moving back on topic… Plankton, you may give your statement.”
Plankton: “Alright. So yes, ALL of us knew about the truth book. But, but, BUT! We never planned on destroying it. Our plan was to mess with their plans.”
Squid: “Prick.”
Plankton: “HUSH. I’M SPEAKING.”
Plankton: “ANYWAYS, we did follow through with it two episodes ago. But because the whole crime thing happened on the day of the previous challenge, we didn’t get that opportunity!”
Plankton: “And, lemme tell you this, NOBODY would’ve gone to destroy it without telling the rest of the team. Except me. And, hey, I can advocate for my own innocence! We didn’t even know about its destruction until Red came to us asking if we did anything!”
Science Bear: “I see… thank you for your time, Plankton.”
Plankton is teleported back to the viewer’s area.
Nikoly: “See? See, Science Bear? Who else could it have been! Unless you got, like, a secret choice.”
Science Bear: “Well…”
Science Bear turns to the many onlookers.
Science Bear: “If any of you have something you’d like to add to our discussion, please speak up now, or forever hold your silence. Your participation could save your own team from losing.”
Silence fills the room for a moment…
…before a hand is raised.
Science Bear: “Ah, Kris, you have something to tell us?”
From the viewer’s area, Kris nods. Pan to the jury. Flowey is in utter dismay.
Carl: “ Why do you look so sad? ”
Flowey: “ ...Kris. ”
Carl: “ What about them? They’re just a kid. Doesn’t take much to murder one. ”
Flowey: “ ...They know. ”
Flowey: “ They know about the book and they know that I know and they know I was going to destroy it. Oh my fucking god we are dead meat. ”
Carl: “ Well, I’ll pray that it’ll be fine, so that it will be. ”
Flowey: “ You’re gonna have to do a virgin sacrifice if you wanna get us out of this shit. ”
Returning to the main court, Kris appears at the stand.
Science Bear: “What information do you have about the topic at hand, Kris?”
Kris begins to pull out a piece of paper, but a typewriter suddenly appears on the stand. Kris turns to look at Koe.
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “Figured it’d be easier!”
Kris gives a thumbs up, before speed typing and giving what they wrote to Science Bear.
Science Bear: “Let’s see… ‘About a month ago, Flowey received a piece of a vote reason. It told him about the book of truths. I know this because I saw it.’. Interesting…”
Flowey is visibly sweating in the jury box.
Science Bear: “...‘However, I don’t believe he did it. Since I had read the reason with him, it would be weird for him to go on his own, and he has nobody else to go with… not to mention the fact that he can’t be quiet.’...”
At the jury box, Flowey is no longer sweating… but now he feels insulted instead.
Flowey: “Yeah, yeah, fuck you too, Kris.”
Science Bear: “...‘My point is that it’s not a good idea to base it off who could know, because of vote reasons’. That’s… quite the sound argument, actually. Thank you, Kris.”
Kris gives a thumbs up, before getting returned to where they were sitting.
Nikoly: “Daaaaaaaaaaaaaaamn.”
Nikoly: “We side-tracked for no reason.”
Science Bear: “I still believe it gave some valuable information… but I digress. Let’s turn our attention to a different topic, then - that is, the open window. Why was it open? Enderman still has no reason to mess with it.”
Nikoly: “Hmmm…”
Squid: “Give me a moment to propose something.”
Nikoly: “Alrighty, have at it, Squid!-”
Enderman: “Why does he get to defend his point but I don’t?”
Nikoly: “dude you can just do it whenever you think you have to”
Enderman: “...”
Squid: “...Anyways, I believe the window might have been opened prior to the murder. Because that would both explain why it’s open, and prove that the culprit can only be Enderman.”
Science Bear: “Your claim is quite baseless, Squid. Unless you or Nikoly can find evidence towards that conclusion, it’d be safer to assume the perpetrator used the window to enter the room, clearing Enderman of suspicion.”
Nikoly: “Bet. I call Blocky to the stand!”
Enderman: “Is he not the victim? Is that allowed?”
Nikoly: “I meaaaan… Koe’s not saying no …”
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “Yeah, it’s chill.”
Nikoly: “Ha. Loser”
Blocky appears.
Blocky: “Hey all, Blocky here. Whaddya need me for?”
Nikoly: “Was your window open prior to you going to sleep?”
Blocky: “Mm…”
Blocky: “...Yeah. Sometimes I leave it open. Y’know, for cool air and stuff. Feels nice and shit.”
Nikoly: “Aha! In your face, Science Bear!”
Science Bear: “...There is no need to act like that in a court setting, Nikoly.”
Blocky: “Nah, it’s funny, let him do it.”
Squid: “No.”
Blocky disappears.
Nikoly: “damn bro really despawned him”
Science Bear: “Anyways, I suppose the window was a dead end, wasn’t it.”
Nikoly: “Told you it wasn’t important. Now give up!”
Science Bear: “I’ll do the contrary, actually. We still need to discuss the method of murder-”
Science Bear is cut off by the sound of someone playing Rhythm Heaven.
Science Bear: “...”
Nikoly: “...”
The screen pans up to show Koe on a 3DS.
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “Doo, doo, doo…”
Science Bear and Nikoly both stare at Koe.
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “...Uhh… ignore me, just carry on-”
An alarm sounds on Koe’s screen.
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “NEVERMIND! Apparently it’s my coffee break… but we’re in a challenge… but I need my coffee…”
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “...Eh, screw it! You guys get to have a quick intermission while I go get my coffee. I’ll just throw everyone into their own respective rooms, because intermingling during a court case probably would have repercussions I do not want to learn about!”
Enderman: “That is too sudden-”
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “Too late :)”
Koe snaps, teleported everyone to their own respective places.
Cut to right outside the courtroom. Everybody in the audience appears there.
Charles: “-Oh.”
Charlie the Unicorn: “Joy. We don’t even get a room.”
Donkey: “Ay, it could be worse!”
Charlie the Unicorn: “ How ?”
Donkey: “Underworld.”
…
Red: “...Are we missing someone?...”
Cut to the literal Underworld. Stanley is there.
Honestly, screw you.
Okay look it was for the bit.
Anyways back to outside.
Sundew: “No. No we are not.”
Red: “Oh.”
Charles: “So what do we do now?”
Donkey: “Why don’t we discuss-”
Plankton: “Yeah, screw this!”
Plankton grabs Amelia and begins SPRINTING away with her in tow.
Charles: “Wh- hey, what are you doing?!”
Plankton: “NONE OF YOUR BEESWAX!”
Kris begins to write ‘should we stop him’, but is cut off.
Sundew: “Don’t.”
Kris raises an eyebrow. Yes, I know their eyebrows aren’t visible. Just pretend they are for comedic effect.
Sundew: “It’s not an unwilling situation- well, the dragging thing probably is, but honestly I couldn’t give two shits. They’re working together, and not just begrudgingly. So let them be.”
Kris stands still for a moment, before nodding in understanding.
Blocky: “Since when the block did you care about people?”
Sundew: “I always have. I just don’t care about you and pretty much everybody else on BFDI.”
Blocky: “You’re missing out, then!”
Sundew: “I’m really not .”
Cut to Plankton and Amelia. Plankton sighs in exhaustion, dropping Amelia.
Amelia: “Ow… my arm…”
Plankton: “Ugh- SORRY. But! I needed to talk to you in private, and I didn’t want to bother explaining to people.”
Amelia: “...I guess that makes sense.”
Plankton: “Now-”
Amelia: “Why me, though?”
Amelia: “...Uh, I didn’t mean to cut you off-”
Plankton: “Don’t worry about it or whatever, I guess , but what the barnacles do you mean by that?”
Amelia: “...By wh-”
Plankton: “What you just SAID??? The ‘why me’ thing???”
Amelia: “Oh… I was just wondering… why you’re working with me of all people. Not to be self-deprecating, but there’s stronger people out there than me…”
Plankton: “Ah, we’re going this route… look, I’ll tell you - it’s because NOBODY ELSE WILL! Y’know, I can just tell that everyone else thinks I’m some sort of annoying, self-centered asshole. And, frankly, I wouldn’t care how they see me… under most circumstances. Because this is a game of strategy. And you CAN’T strategize with people who hate your guts!”
Amelia: “...”
Plankton: “In short, I’m basically stuck in a situation where nobody likes me. Hell, I was turned into the butt of jokes by one of my teammates for no damn reason! So when things line up for me like that, I have to take whatever I can get. And, well, you’re the only person I’ve met here that doesn’t see me as a nuisance. Besides you, I’m pretty much alone. And by King Neptune, I am not going to falter just because of that.”
Amelia: “...”
Plankton: “...I bet a lot of that just flew over your head, bu-”
Amelia: “I understand how you feel.”
Plankton: “-t- -Eh?”
Amelia: “...I’ve been stuck without anyone else for a long time.”
Amelia: “Not just here, but… …not back home, instead just… where I was before.”
Amelia: “I used to have a normal life… but I can barely remember it. All I know now is that I was taken by this guy, named ‘Airy’, to a different planet or something…”
Amelia: “And me, along with others, were forced to participate in challenges. Never-endingly. We didn’t have much of a choice, either. Me and some others, we worked together to try and get viewers to vote me out, but… they never did…”
Amelia: “...And then Airy disappeared. I think he got injured, but I wouldn’t know… we were trapped by ourselves for a long while. We thought life was finally going to be peaceful, but he just came back sometime later, and then he eliminated… Backpack…”
Amelia: “...I don’t know his real name. Maybe I did know. I can’t remember. But he came back and tried to stop Airy, wherever he was. He tried to give Airy a chance to end the game and stop… I don’t know what happened afterwards, but he died somehow… and Backpack was stuck keeping those of us remaining alive.”
Amelia: “One by one, the others… they died. Some by natural causes. Others by choice… In the end, I was the only person left on the planet. Just me and Backpack. Things were… they weren’t okay, but it could be worse…”
Amelia: “...though it got worse. Backpack, he-...”
Amelia: “...”
Amelia: “...He told me he gave up. That there was n-nothing left for him, or for me. H- He disappeared after that. I… t-think I know what happened to him, though…”
Amelia: “And I was stuck. Slowly s-starving to death. I… I accepted my fate.”
Amelia: “...That’s when I was brought here. At first, I… didn’t know what to think. ‘Had someone else taken control?’ is what came to me first… I know now that’s nowhere near true, though.”
Amelia: “Losing everyone you know, and being alone and dying for who knows how long… it changes someone… I can’t trust myself to befriend anyone again. Because all I’ll do is fear that they’ll disappear… just like them…”
Amelia: “...”
Plankton: “...”
Amelia: “...Go ahead and tell me I’m stu-”
Plankton: “YOU ARE! But not in the way you think. What the hell does it matter what your past tells you? People say time repeats itself, but all of that is just some junk they spew without rhyme or reason! And you at least have the opportunity to change things. I can’t. For me, the slate is destroyed, but yours is never-used. You have chances.”
Plankton: “So don’t put yourself down over it! I… I’ll be real, in no way can I act as a therapist or something because I’ve never dealt with that kind of thing. But out there, somewhere, there’s bound to be someone who will help you!”
Plankton: “...Like how you helped me.”
The two fall into silence.
Amelia: “...Thank you.”
Plankton: “Yeah, yeah, sure, whatever. No problem, I guess .”
Amelia: “Can I…”
Plankton: “Can you what?!”
Amelia: “...Call you a friend.”
Plankton: “...”
Plankton: “Fine. But don’t think I’ll suddenly start acting all chummy with you!”
Amelia: “Alright…”
Amelia: “...oh, what were you going to say before…”
Plankton: “Don’t worry about it. This was miles more important! And knowing my luck, we’re going to be teleported back before we can make any progress.”
Amelia: “Ah…”
Plankton: “Look. After the challenge, I’ll tell you. Got it?”
Amelia: “...okay.”
Cut to Enderman and Science Bear, in their own break area within the courtroom. Science Bear paces around the room as Enderman sits down, trying to open a can of soda.
Science Bear: “This situation is becoming… harder to handle than I assumed it’d be.”
Enderman: “Yes.”
Science Bear: “...I’d just like to hear it from you yourself, you didn’t actually do the crime, right?”
Enderman: “No, I did not. If I was going to do anything, I would have said so.”
Science Bear: “That’s what I had assumed. I was simply confirming such.”
Enderman nods in understanding, before getting sprayed by foam from the soda can.
Enderman: “Gross.”
Enderman wipes the spray off their face, before chugging the soda.
Science Bear: “You seem stressed.”
Enderman: “Yes. I am. I don’t like being accused for things I didn’t do.”
Science Bear: “Understandable… I suppose I, of all people, would know that.”
Enderman: “...For the record, I don’t hold that against you anymore.”
Science Bear: “Well, that’s quite the relief. When Charlie had called me out on my admittedly regrettable actions, I thought there’d be a permanent strain on my relationship with the rest of the team. To know that there are no hard feelings is a good thing.”
Science Bear stops pacing.
Science Bear: “Hmm… I now have a hypothesis on how to prove your innocence, though it’s risky.”
Enderman: “What?”
Science Bear: “You’ll just have to wait and see, unfortunately.”
Enderman: “...I can live with that.”
On the other side of things, cut to Nikoly and Squid in a different breakroom. Nikoly is lying down on a couch as Squid’s just… there.
Squid: “Now would be the best time to talk strategy.”
Nikoly: “I hate to burst your bubble, bubs, but strategy ain’t a thing in court!”
Squid: “...Why is your accent- whatever, doesn’t matter. You do realize that you need to go more on the offensive to prove we’re right, right?”
Nikoly: “Ha. Ha ha. Right, right.”
Squid glares at Nikoly.
Nikoly: “...Okay, point taken! I guesssssss I’ll try.”
Squid: “You better. You do realize how much rests on us winning this case, correct? And not just truth-wise, but in keeping us safe from elimination.”
Nikoly: “Psh! I’m not worried about that part, honestly.”
Squid: “And why not ?”
Nikoly: “Lemme tell you a story…”
The screen transitions to a flashback-y sequence, except portrayed entirely through drawings akin to Nikoly’s earlier one.
Nikoly: “Once upon a time, some guy named BFDI Rocky stole me from my home dimension and put me in a show like this one…”
Nikoly: “We did challenges as well. A lot of them. I persevered through each one! Of which there were a lot . Some were super crazy, too. Like… way crazier than whatever this show has done! Or will do, probably! Seems weird, but yeah.”
Nikoly: “And eventually, I won! First placer! Everyone thought it was awesome! I did too! I mean, duh. Would be pretty wacky silly in a bad way if I didn’t think it was awesome”
Nikoly: “...Things kinda went to shiz after that, though. Yikesies! Too much to bother talking about, but I was escaping when… y’know… I got brought here.”
The flashback ends.
Nikoly: “TLDR: I won a show already, so winning another should be easy peasy lime squeezy!
Squid: “...You almost got out in our first elimination-”
Nikoly covers Squid’s mouth.
Nikoly: “SHSHSHSHSHSHSHSHSHSHSH”
Nikoly: “we dont talk about that”
Nikoly takes his hand off Squid’s mouth.
Squid: “Alright, point taken . But that doesn’t mean you shouldn’t take this seriously. Plus, you’re putting the rest of us at risk.”
Nikoly: “...Damn, that’s true.”
Nikoly: “Okay, I’ll give it my best shot!”
Nikoly grins while giving a thumbs up.
Squid: “You look incredibly stupid while doing that.”
Nikoly: “:(“
Finally, to the jury’s area!
Artificer: “...While we’re here, we should discuss the case at hand.”
N: “Aww, do we really have to? I don’t want to think about that serious kind of stuff when it’s unnecessary.”
Artificer: “It’s in our best interests to do it. Otherwise, that’s three teams at risk. Including your own.”
N: “Alright…”
Ploque: “Where do we start, then?”
Torch God: “IF WE THINK ENDERMAN REALLY DID DO IT”
Torch God: “BETTER TO SEE IF WE HAVE A MAJORITY OPINION ON ONE END NOW RATHER THAN LATER”
Artificer: “Agreed. I, personally, think Enderman did it.”
Carl: “A criminal can tell when someone else is a criminal. Except I’m not a criminal. But I still think it’s them.”
Flowey: “Enderman has ‘guilty’ written ALL OVER their face! It’s obviously them, come on!”
N: “I really don’t think they did it- They’re not that kind of person!”
Ploque: “...While I don’t know Enderman all too well, I’m very certain this isn’t their doing.”
Spider-Ham: “I’m a true crime buster, and lemme tell ya- Enderman’s innocent!”
Knight sketches ‘guilty’ on the ground with their nail.
Wheatley: “Now, I don’t wanna say that they DID do it… but the fish bloke’s making some good points!”
Plasma Ball: “Guilty. Definitely guilty.”
King Julien: “I’d like to trust Science Bear’s judgment here and say that Enderman is innocent! Both seem like good people.”
Rocket: “Well, they don’t seem like the type of person to do that, so I say that Enderman’s not the culprit!”
Torch God: “AND I THINK ENDERMAN IS INNOCENT TOO”
Silence.
Torch God: “...IT’S A TIE”
Plasma Ball: “Great.”
Spider-Ham: “Well- hey, at least nobody’s neutral?”
N: “Wait- Wheatley, you said guilty?!”
Wheatley: “I’m sorry, N, I’d love to believe that Enderman didn’t do it! But I can’t lie, the evidence is too against them for me to say that.”
Torch God: “BRO THERES NO EVIDENCE TOWARDS EITHER SIDE”
Torch God: “THE TWO HAVE JUST BEEN THROWING THEORIES AND THEN IMMEDIATELY DEBUNKING THEM, THERE’S NO SUBSTANCE”
Torch God: “I ONLY MADE MY DECISION BECAUSE IT FEELS OUT OF CHARACTER”
Silence.
Plasma Ball: “...I change my vote to ‘not guilty’.”
Knight nods in agreement.
Flowey: “I’m sticking to what I said!”
Carl: “As will I.”
Torch God: “BRUH”
N: “Come on, Flowey, Torch God’s got a point-”
Flowey: “DON’T CARE.”
Ploque: “God, why are you so antagonistic?”
Flowey: “Why NOT be antagonistic?”
Ploque: “Because it’s bad???”
Flowey: “You THINK I CARE???”
Artificer groans in annoyance.
Artificer: “This is going to be a long, long court case…”
King Julien pats her on the back.
King Julien: “I’m sure everything will be well in the end, regardless of our decision!”
Artificer: “I highly doubt that.”
Alrighty, back to the courtroom. Koe appears back at the judge’s podium, and he then summons everyone else back in.
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “Break over, folks! We’re back to courtin-… …actually, no, that means a totally different thing. We’re back to debating , yeah. Whoever wants to start, go ahead.”
Science Bear: “I’ll begin, then. This may be a far-fetched point to bring to the table, but it is the only path that can be taken to prove Enderman’s innocence…”
Science Bear: “I believe that this whole case is an elaborate plan to change how the game is played.”
Enderman: “What-”
Squid: “THE FU-”
Nikoly: “Buh-”
Everyone in the audience and jury also seems confused.
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “Excuse me, what ?”
Even Koe doesn’t know what the hell Science Bear is going on about.
Science Bear: “It’s very simple. After our true culprits learned that NNIT gained not only knowledge of their ‘Book of Truths’, but used it against them to hinder their challenge performance, the book was as good as dead to them. So they had to use it for something else, as it was now worthless to use it for its original purpose. And I believe we all know how… antagonistic some members of the team can be, no?”
Science Bear glances over to the jury, particularly NOT NAMING IT THAT.
Science Bear: “I’d predict that this was likely Squid’s idea-”
Squid tries rushing toward Science Bear in rage.
Squid: “I DID NOT DO SHI-”
Enderman teleports behind Squid and restrains him, while also keeping a hand over his mouth.
Enderman: “Quiet, now, the adults are speaking.”
Squid shouts angrily, though it’s muffled to the point that nobody can understand him.
Science Bear: “...Ahem. As I was saying, it’s likely Squid’s idea to pull this stunt. By destroying such an object as valued as the ‘Book of Truths’, and pinning the blame on someone who cannot defend themselves all too easily, they would be able to create a domino effect of sorts that would end in their favor. They could puppet every single part of the game from the shadows if they so wished. Of course, the presence of a court case must’ve shaken up their plans, but as we can see, they are not backing down. That is my hypothesis for the truth behind this argument.”
Silence fills the room. Nobody really knows what to say. It does make… a lot of sense, looking at BFDI’s history of schemes.
Science Bear: “...Well, if there are no rebuttals, then I can put faith in the fact that I am correct, so we can end this ca-”
Nikoly: “No, that’s wrong!”
A png of Celestia Ludenberg and Ibuki Mioda kissing fades in.
Nikoly: “Not again-”
Nikoly: “Anyways! Squid mayyyyyyy be a bit of a dirty player, I’ll admit! But what you’re saying we did? WAY too far, even for us! That’s the kinda shtick Lamb would do, and boy, we are not stooping to his level. And I’ll prove it! Our dear, gratuitous host Mr. Koe, may you make sure your lie detector is on and loud?”
Koe gives a thumbs up.
Nikoly: “Alright, lemme fire the truth at ya.”
This music begins to play as Nikoly begins his verbal assault.
Nikoly: “You say we made this whole elaborate plan just to twist the game in our favor, right? But that’s just false. First of all, ya gotta think about the why - why would we do it? We still planned on using the book, just more strategically!”
Ding of truth.
Nikoly: “Plus, killing Blocky for that would be useless. We would’ve used him as another testimonial factor instead of making him into a corpse!”
Ding of truth.
Nikoly: “And why would we kill him like that anyways? There’s better options than slicing him in half!”
Ding of truth.
Nikoly: “Then you gotta look at our accusation - wouldn’t it make more sense for us to target our number 1 enemies if the case was fake?”
Ding of truth.
Nikoly: “And yeah, you COULD say that our teleportation point is why we targeted Enderman. But then we would’ve added as many incriminating details as possible. Yes, there’s still a lot, but not to the extent we would’ve pushed on y’all!”
Ding of truth.
Nikoly: “Oh, and lastly, you’re kinda just… grasping at straws. Straws suck, I hate straws.”
Ding of lies.
Nikoly: “Hey, I really don’t like straws!”
Ding of lies.
Nikoly: “Bruhhhhhh.”
The music ends, since Nikoly’s done speaking. Silence fills the room again.
Science Bear: “...”
Enderman: “...”
Enderman releases Squid.
Squid: “THANK you. But fuck you for doing that in the first place.”
Squid returns to his spot, and so does Enderman.
Nikoly: “Well, nerdy boy… any rebuttal?”
Science Bear: “...I think I may be at a loss for words now.”
Nikoly: “HA! We win! Oh yeah!”
Squid groans.
Squid: “And of course you’re right back to acting immaturely.”
Nikoly: “I am just silly like that.”
Nikoly: “Anyways, Science Bear? You got anything else to throw at us?”
All eyes are on Science Bear.
Science Bear: “...I, unfortunately, must say that I do not.”
Enderman: “Wh-”
Science Bear: “After that humiliating defeat, I don’t think I can put things in our favor. It’s up to the jury now.”
Nikoly: “Oh, so you think they did it now?”
Science Bear: “That is not what I said… I simply do not think I can advocate for Enderman’s innocence any longer, as I am without evidence. That was my last stand. I have to admit that your evidence has begun to make some sense as well…”
Science Bear: “I truly do believe that Enderman did not commit the crime, but it is no longer viable to try and fight a losing battle.”
Nikoly: “I’mma take that as a ‘yeah they’re guilty’ lol.”
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “Alright! If Science Bear has nothing left to say, do you other two have any more points to make?”
Squid: “One last thing.”
Squid: “We have already confirmed that Enderman has knowledge of the book. They have every motive to destroy the book, and every ability to do the crime. Everything points to them. There is no evidence that says that they did not do it.”
Squid: “So, Enderman, WHY are you not confessing?”
Enderman: “It was not me who did it. Simple as that.”
Squid: “What a lousy fucking excuse. You just don’t want to be held accountable for your actions!”
Enderman: “I am perfectly fine with being held accountable, if it is something that I actually did. I am not a hypocrite.”
Squid: “Yeah, yeah, ‘you’re not a hypocrite’, do you KNOW how many people say that shit and turn out to be one anyways?”
Enderman: “Correlation does not equal causation. Saying that I am not a hypocrite does not mean I am one.”
Squid: “Say whatever the hell you want. Everyone else knows the goddamn truth. So I suggest, if you’re not going to tell us the truth, to shut your mouth-”
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “OKAY, OKAY, WE DO NOT NEED TO GO THAT FAR.”
Squid stops speaking as Koe interrupts him.
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “If we’re done, then we can get to the actual voting, okay? We can chill. No reason to get heated.”
Koe teleports over to the jury.
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “I’ll give y’all an hour to decide if you think Enderman is guilty or not. Remember, it has to be a unanimous decision! See ya guys soon.”
Koe snaps, teleporting the jury back to their room.
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “Oh, and for everyone else, we’re heading back to the building until those folks are done.”
Koe sends Enderman, Nikoly, Science Bear, Squid, and everyone in the audience away. We are not focusing on them, though, we’re going to the jury.
Artificer: “Alright, let’s get this discussion started again. First off, we’re doing a recount on what we think. I stand by what I said earlier- Enderman is definitely guilty.”
Carl: “I agree.”
Flowey: “Still agreeing as well!”
Wheatley: “Well, I was going to say not guilty, but after that… it seems to me that they’re truly the culprit, y’know?”
Rocket: “I… guess I agree that they did it.”
The Knight nods in agreement with the others, having changed their mind.
Plasma Ball: “Yeah, it was definitely them.”
King Julien: “I have to agree, the evidence seems stacked against Enderman! As much as I would like to believe they are a kindred fellow, it seems that things are not in their favor! A shame, too.”
Ploque: “I… I really don’t want to say it, but… it seems like it's the case. That Enderman committed the crime.”
Spider-Ham: “Gosh, I can’t believe I’m saying this, but things are not looking good for Enderman! And by that, I mean I think they did it.”
Torch God: “...I HAVE TO AGREE WITH EVERYONE ELSE.”
Only one person does not agree…
N: “Guys, come on! Enderman’s not that type of person! They would never pull this kinda thing!”
Artificer steps up to N.
Artificer: “Do you truly believe that, or is bias clouding your judgment?”
N: “I truly, truly believe that. Why wouldn’t I?”
Artificer: “Because in this type of setting, using your emotions to dictate your opinion will only lead you the wrong way. I detest Blocky’s team heavily , and would never want to agree with them under any other circumstance. But they have a point. You are just blinding yourself because you don’t want to see the outcome.”
N: “Is it really bad to want to stick up for my friend??”
Artificer: “If you are actively making things detrimental for yourself by doing so, without any gain, then YES. Look at the room, Serial Designation N. Everyone else believes that they did it.”
Artificer motions to the others. Some look angry at N’s disagreement, others are confused, and some are kinda just… sad.
Artificer: “So why do you state otherwise?”
N: “I- I just have a feeling-”
Artificer: “Feelings don’t help here-”
Ploque: “Let him finish.”
Ploque interrupts Artificer, grabbing her.
Artificer: “Are you not on our side?”
Ploque: “Well… yes, when it comes to who’s guilty. But that doesn’t mean I’m letting N get verbally bullied by you.”
Artificer: “...I was simply trying to make a point.”
Ploque: “Yeah, well, you’re doing a shitty job!”
Artificer realizes that… yeah, she’s being way too aggressive. She backs away from the two.
Ploque: “It’s alright, N. You can tell us what you think. Nobody will get mad.”
N: “Phew… thanks, Ploquester.”
N: “I have this feeling that we’re making the wrong decision, y’know? I- I really don’t know how to explain it, but… voting guilty seems like the wrong answer. I… wish I could- say why I think that.”
Spider-Ham steps up.
Spider-Ham: “Hey, I getcha! Sometimes I’m like that too. Gut feelings and all.”
Spider-Ham: “But sometimes, you can’t trust that. Despite what your emotions and experiences say, not everything is sunshine and rainbows. It can be hard, trust me, but you have to make the right decision, regardless of what you want to do.”
Spider-Ham puts a hand on N’s shoulder.
Spider-Ham: “It’s for the greater good, kid.”
N: “...”
N: “...Alright…”
Spider-Ham: “There we go!”
Silence fills the room after that.
Flowey: “...Did we really need all that sappy shi-”
The Knight stabs Flowey in the eye.
Flowey: “OW THE FUCK WAS THAT FOR-”
Cut to outside. Everyone is gathered. Some glares are shared between people, most notably Enderman Squid.
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “Alright, folks, the results are in! It’s time to see what the people have decided.”
A drumroll plays, as tension is put onto Enderman. They rub their hands together in anticipation for a hopefully-good result…
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “Guilty.”
Enderman’s jaw drops in horror.
Enderman: “They really…”
Enderman turns to the members of the jury - specifically, those who are a part of Cool Friends.
N: “...I’m really sorry, but everyone else was doing it, and I couldn’t do anything else…”
Ploque: “Evidence was too much to say you were innocent.”
Wheatley: “What she said!”
Flowey: “I thought you did it ever since the beginning of the trial.”
Enderman turns away, saddened by the betrayal.
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “Of course, that’s not where this ends. We need to see if they actually did it!”
Koe turns on the lie detector for everyone to hear it.
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “Now, Enderman… did you really do it?”
Enderman: “...”
Enderman: “No.”
A ding of truth. Chaos erupts.
Nikoly: “Ohhhhhh shiz we were wrong-”
Artificer: “God dammit-”
Blue facepalms loudly-
Science Bear: “Of course they were innocent-”
Squid: “FUCK-”
Spider-Ham: “So perhaps we should’ve trusted N-”
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “GUYS, CHILL!”
Everyone goes silent.
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “You can sort out the… aftereffects of this later. Right now, we’ve got to pick a team to go up for elimination!”
A chorus of ‘oh, right’s and ‘damn’s, among other things, ring out in the crowd of the eligible. Koe pulls out a roulette wheel.
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “Let’s see who it’ll be!”
Koe spins the wheel, and it lands on…
Cool Friends.
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “Oof… from a 11-episode win streak to 2 losses in a row… you guys really fell off, huh?”
Pan to Cool Friends.
N: “Oh biscuits- I’m sorry, guys, if only I-”
Ploque: “Hey, hey, no, it’s not your fault… If anything, it’s ours for not trusting you.”
Wheatley: “Yeah! Don’t feel bad!”
Flowey: “Feel ba-”
Ploque grabs Flowey and pulls him upward, threatening to root him out of the ground.
Flowey: “OW, OW, FUCK, OKAY, I’M SORRY!”
Ploque lets go.
Ploque: “Stop being a jackass if you really are.”
Flowey says nothing.
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “...and there we go! Poll’s down there, so go ahead and vote!”
VOTING LINK: [ENDED]
It is now night. Artificer is walking through the halls to the restaurant to get a late-night snack.
Artificer: “ I should have listened to him… it may not have cost us anything, but I’d rather have gotten Blocky’s team another loss. ”
As Artificer reaches the restaurant, she’s about to head in, but stops once she overhears a discussion…
Flowey: “GOD, am I so fucking glad that Koe didn’t decide to ask who really did it. That would’ve screwed us over a thousand times and more.”
Carl: “That is fortunate, yes. Hoorah.”
Flowey: “But this stupid court case thing has gotten my life threatened TWICE! Just because I’m being myself!”
Carl: “Perhaps they think that you’re being too harsh.”
Flowey: “Like I care. Why should they?”
Carl: “People are like that. They dislike what others are like. Such as how everyone thinks it’s weird that I like collecting human meat. It’s not that bad, is it?”
Flowey: “...Uhhhh…”
As Flowey struggles to find an answer, he and Carl are both distracted by the footsteps of someone entering.
Flowey: “Who the hell-”
Flowey’s jaw drops in horror as he realizes who it is.
Artificer: “You two. We’re having a conversation. Now.”
Chapter 15: Episode 15 - Nah, I'd Pass
Summary:
WE'RE BACK! With a CROSSOVER! ...Technically TWO! Yeah.
Notes:
(the shows crossed over with are pass (my show!) and KIDS (by Kevin), for the record! the former you can find on my account, the latter was linked in an earlier episode, my ass is too lazy to go paste them) ANyways enjoy
Chapter Text
The episode starts where it left off - the cafeteria, with Artificer having walked in on Carl and Flowey’s conversation.
Artificer: “You two. We’re having a conversation. Now.”
Flowey is too shocked to say anything, so Carl speaks up for him.
Carl: “About what? I don’t see anything to talk about.”
Artificer: “The fact that you two were the ones that caused this mess.”
Carl: “Ohhhhhhhhh.”
Flowey finally snaps out of it.
Flowey: “I- There’s DEFINITELY a GOOD EXPLANATION-”
Artificer: “Knowing you, that is completely false.”
Flowey: “Jesus christ, SOMEONE PLEASE LET ME TALK FOR ONCE! All the time people cut me off just because ‘ohhhh you’re an asshole you don’t get to speak’ COME ON.”
Artificer: “...They aren’t wrong, but I suppose just this once I can give you some leeway.”
Flowey: “THANK YOU. Anyways, there WAS a reason! To get rid of that stupid ass book they had. How come they get to win every challenge ever just because they have a super special advantage that nobody else has?”
Artificer: “Fair enough.,. though you should have owned up to it.”
Flowey: “And face whatever punishment Koe’d give us??? NO! Obviously not ! I’m not an idiot!”
Carl: “I wouldn’t want to risk him taking away my collection.”
Flowey: “...Your collection of-”
Carl: “Human hands.”
Flowey: “Yyyyyyup. Shoulda guessed.”
Artificer has a disgusted look, but quickly composes herself.
Artificer: “Well, considering I now know this, I could easily go tell Koe Hohzd and you can reap the consequences, not on your own accord…”
Flowey: “Don’t you dare -”
Artificer: “Or, you can take the offer I propose.”
Flowey: “.”
Flowey: “what”
Carl: “What a turn of events.”
Artificer: “Let me make one thing clear: This does not mean I have even a grain of respect for you. However… I have recently noticed the importance of making alliances outside your own team. Therefore, I request to join yours.”
Flowey: “Why the fuck would I-”
Artificer: “I suppose I’ll just go tell Koe Hohzd, then. Farewell.”
Artificer begins to leave.
Flowey: “OKAY. FINE.”
Artificer stops, and turns around .
Artificer: “Good.”
Carl: “And everyone cheered. Now, let us continue our conversation. You can j-”
Artificer: “No.”
Artificer grabs her snack and leaves immediately after.
Flowey: “...”
Flowey slams his face into the table.
Flowey: “This is horrible.”
Cut to morning, a few days after. Artificer is eating breakfast in the cafeteria. Plasma Ball is there too, though she isn’t eating.
Plasma Ball: “...Hey.”
Artificer: “Yes?”
Plasma Ball: “You disappeared for a solid few minutes a few nights ago. What the hell was up with that?”
Artificer: “What-”
Plasma Ball: “Look, I’m up late… every night, I think. Been that way since I got freed from that mind control bs. Sometimes I look outside into the hallway because I have nothing better to do, and I’ve noticed you leaving for snacks. Never said anything about it, because why the hell would I? Then I saw it took you far longer than usual, so… morbid curiosity.”
Artificer: “Ah. …It’s nothing important.”
Plasma Ball rolls her eyes.
Plasma Ball: “Well, if you say so , I guess…”
Artificer takes a bite of her food - a red centipede.
Artificer: “I have a question for you , then. Where’s the kid?”
Plasma Ball: “Oh, them? I’m going to be busy this morning-”
Artificer: “With?”
Plasma Ball: “What do you think ? Therapy!”
Artificer: “Right, right, that makes sense.”
Plasma Ball: “As I was saying , I’m going to be busy, so I left them with Torch God.”
Artificer raises an eyebrow.
Artificer: “...Torch God.”
Plasma Ball: “Yes.”
Artificer: “The one person on our team who wouldn’t physically be able to do anything .”
Plasma Ball: “Look, I have more respect for them than most people here! Give me a break!”
Artificer: “It’s the qualifications, not the trust level.”
Plasma Ball rolls her eyes.
Plasma Ball: “Whatever.”
Plasma Ball gets up and begins to leave.
Artificer: “If something happens to them, the blame is on you.”
Plasma Ball: “Yeah, yeah, I know.”
Plasma Ball exits.
Cut to Torch God’s room, where Torch God themself is, alongside the slugpup and N. Wait- N?? …Actually, I suppose that solves the problem Artificer mentioned, so… makes sense.
N: “Awwwww, hi, buddy!”
The slugpup is staring at N.
N: “...You remember who I am, right?”
The slugpup nods. N cheers and raises his hands up joyously.
N: “Woohoo! Yes!”
Torch God: “ARE YOU THAT HAPPY ABOUT IT?”
N: “I mean… yeah! I think it’s awesome!”
Torch God: “OKAY-”
Torch God: “WAIT WDYM ‘REMEMBER’ DID YOU MEET THEM BEFORE”
N: “Mhm! In the cafeteria with Plasma Ball!”
Torch God: “OH OK THAT MAKES SENSE”
The slugpup lies down in N’s lap.
Torch God: “WOW THAT WAS FAST”
N: “Hm?”
Torch God: “IT TOOK A LONG TIME FOR THEM TO WARM UP TO THE REST OF US”
N: “Huh! I guess I just have epic swag, then.”
His eyes turn into sunglasses. Torch God turns into the most neutral face ever.
Torch God: “DONT”
Torch God: “SAY YOU HAVE ‘EPIC SWAG’”
Torch God: “THAT DOESNT EVEN MAKE SENSE”
N: “Aw, alright…”
Silence.
Torch God: “...HEY ARE YOU OKAY”
N: “Wh- Yeah! Of course! Never better!”
N flashes an obviously-fake grin.
Torch God: “...OKAY LOOK YOU’VE BEEN A BIT OFF THE PAST FEW DAYS”
Torch God: “I'M NOT AN IDIOT I CAN SEE SOMETHING’S WRONG”
N: “T-trust me, it’s fine…”
Torch God: “...”
Torch God: “IT’S HIM, ISN’T IT?”
N drops the facade, sighing.
N: “Yeah… I- Why’d the viewers vote him out?! Pizza Steve did nothing wrong, and yet…”
Torch God: “THE AGENDA OF THE VOTERS ARE SOMETHING WE CAN’T COMPREHEND”
Torch God: “BUT YOU CAN’T LET THIS HOLD YOU BACK”
Torch God: “I’M DISAPPOINTED AS WELL BUT I’M TAKING THIS AS A SIGN TO WORK HARDER”
N: “I- yeah, I guess, but I’m scared about the next elimination! What if it’s Wheatley? Or Ploque? Or- anyone, really?”
Torch God: “...EVEN FLOWEY?”
N: “Yeah, he’s a jerk, but… I dunno, I can see some good in him! Just deep down. Deep, deep down.”
Torch God: “I… SURE, I GUESS”
Torch God: “AS I WAS SAYING, THOUGH, YOU HAVE TO MOVE FORWARD”
Torch God: “THE WORLD WILL NOT ALWAYS BE KIND TO YOU”
Torch God: “...I WOULD KNOW”
Torch God: “THERE ARE MANY, MANY PEOPLE WHO’VE ATTEMPTED MY TRIALS TO GAIN MY FAVOR”
Torch God: “FROM THE BUSTLING, ADVENTUROUS YOUNG, TO THE SLOW, CLOSE-TO-THEIR-END OLD”
Torch God: “ANY RACE, SPECIES, SIZE, BACKSTORY, THEY ALL HAVE TO FACE ME”
Torch God: “THEY GET HIT, THEY GET KNOCKED DOWN, SOMETIMES THEY DIE, BUT THEY NEVER GIVE UP”
Torch God: “EVEN IF THEY GROW TIRED, THEY ALWAYS COME BACK TO GIVE IT ANOTHER SHOT”
Torch God: “AND IT’S THAT WHICH EARNS THEM MY FAVOR”
Torch God: “YOU REMIND ME OF THEM. SO I DON’T WANT YOU TO STOP TRYING, NO MATTER WHAT HAPPENS”
N is silent for a moment.
N: “...Huh. That… that makes me feel a lot better. Heh, guess even I need consolation every once in a while. Thanks, Torch God!”
Torch God: “YW”
N: “...Wonder what the kiddo’s doing?”
Torch God: “LOOK DOWN”
The slugpup is sleeping in N’s lap.
N: “D’awwwwwwwwww…”
Cut to the IDIOT hallway, where Blue walks out with the breakfast he’s made - scrambled eggs and bacon. However, he notices that only Charlie and Science Bear are there. He tilts his head in confusion as he places down the food.
Charlie the Unicorn: “If I had to guess, Enderman’s in a slump because of whatever the hell happened last challenge, Test Tube is in one of her moody moments again, Charles is just stressed, and Sundew… might just be in the cafeteria, honestly.”
Blue would blink at Charlie’s bluntness, if he had eyes.
Science Bear: “I wouldn’t put it like that, but… I do agree that this seems to be the most likely case. Things haven’t been going so well since the last challenge, as I’m sure you’re aware of.”
Blue nods as Science Bear grabs a plate and takes a bite of the eggs.
Science Bear: “...I’ve admittedly begun to wonder if this game is worth it, considering all the pain it’s caused for people, me included.”
Charlie the Unicorn: “It’s never been worth it. I didn't even want to be here to begin with! But here I am. Whoop-de-doo.”
Blue thinks about it for a moment…
Before pointing out that even through the bad, there’s still a lot of good things, too.
Science Bear: “That is true…”
Charlie the Unicorn: “I beg to differ, but whatever. You do you or something. Bye.”
Charlie gets up with his breakfast and leaves. Blue watches, and rhetorically asks why he has to be such a downer.
Science Bear: “Perhaps it’s a coping mechanism? There truly isn’t a way to know, however. Maybe that’s just how he is.”
Cut to BFDI in their own hallway. Squid is trying to make a plan on a chalkboard, but keeps scribbling it out.
Nikoly: “Ayyyyyy, you good?”
Squid: “No.”
Nikoly: “Wow. That was. Blunt.”
Blocky: “He’s always blunt, dude.”
Nikoly: “Yeah, but this is SUUUUUUUUUPER blunt. Like, not his normal levels!”
Blocky: “I dunno, seems like the regular amount to me-”
Squid: “I CAN HEAR YOU TWO.”
Nikoly: “Gulp… awkward…”
Tree-y and Red look at each other, with worry on Red’s face, while Tree-y… he’s Tree-y.
Tree-y: “♪ this is not swell it might not end well ♪”
Red: “Y-yeah…”
Blocky appears behind Red.
Blocky: “Hey, bean boy.”
Red: “GAH-”
Blocky: “I just said hey! Wowwww, you’re a scaredy-cat. Whatever, though, what’s up with you being here? It’s WEIRD.”
Red: “I… had nothing else to do, so…”
Blocky: “Ohhhh. Makes sense.”
Nikoly: “...Well, this isn’t going anywhere, anybody wanna go to the theater and watch something?”
Blocky: “Hell yeah!”
Tree-y: “♪ i will join there will be joy ♪”
Red: “Sure, I guess.”
Nikoly turns to Squid.
Nikoly: “You too? :)”
Squid: “...”
Squid: “I have more important things to do.”
Squid goes back to what he’s doing.
Nikoly: “D’aw. Well, let’s go, everybody else!”
The four head off, leaving Squid alone in the hallway.
Squid: “...They seriously piss me off sometimes.”
Squid manages to draw up a concrete plan in the meantime. What is it? That’s a secret…
Squid: “Alright, THIS. THIS is perfect…”
Cut to RCoKJ, at their usual meeting place, with Kris and Wheatley in tow.
King Julien: “So… you two happen to have another elimination today, yes?”
Wheatley: “Mhm! I’m… not a fan of that, but the world isn’t kind to me, I’ve learned! Learned a lot . …It’s bad!”
Rocket and Spider-Ham whisper to each other.
Rocket: “ That’s scarily pessimistic… ”
Spider-Ham: “ Some people are just like that, kid. ”
King Julien: “Well, then I’d like to kindly ask if you two could try and recruit some more members! As a safety net for if one of you happens to get out. Note that I’m NOT expecting it to occur, as members of my kingdom are great enough to overcome such trivial trials! But, it is never too late to play it safe.”
Wheatley: “We’ll do our best!”
Kris thinks for a moment, before pointing out the elimination starts in five minutes, and they have to go NOW.
King Julien: “Ah. …That is quite unfortunate. Well, you’ll have to do it afterwards, then. I wish you both luck!”
Kris picks up Wheatley and heads out.
Carl: “That was short-lived.”
King Julien: “Correct! I’m sure things will end well, though. I did wish them luck, after all! Why would that luck not work?”
Donkey: “I mean, ya never know. World’s crazy , man!”
King Julien: “...Fair enough! But, but, but, it is best to be optimistic!”
Rocket: “Yeah, that’s what I’m saying!”
Spider-Ham: “So, what are we talking about next?...”
King Julien: “...”
King Julien: “I must be honest and say I do not have any clue.”
Donkey: “Eh?”
King Julien: “Look, look, I know this is my kingdom and all, but it hardly feels like it! Not to say this is anyone’s fault, of course - ESPECIALLY not mine, I would never cause such a thing - but it’s all so… Hm, the word isn’t coming to me. I’m sure you get what I mean, though!”
Spider-Ham: “I think I do! It’s… best to look past that, though, in my opinion. Just keep doing what we’re doing! Plus, you just said it’s best to be optimistic.”
King Julien: “That is true, that is true! I did say that. Wise words from me. Alas, it’s… hard, admittedly.”
King Julien hops onto the table.
King Julien: “But that does NOT MEAN we should back down! We will stand strong! And my kingdom will soon rule this competition!”
Everyone else but Carl cheers. Carl in specific just sips his ‘coffee’.
Carl: “Viva la resistance, my friends.”
Cut to Kris and Wheatley as the two enter the waiting room. The rest of CF is seated, with N and Ploque on one side and Amelia, Flowey, and Stanley on the other. N turns to look at the two.
N: “Heya, Kris! Heya, Wheatley!”
This catches the attention of some of the others, though nobody else says anything.
Wheatley: “Greetings, N, and the rest of you- oh, Kris, could you perhaps place me down?”
Kris nods, leaving Wheatley in N’s lap.
Wheatley: “Thank you, thank you! So, if I may ask, what were you two talking about?”
N: “Oh, I was telling Ploque about my adventures back home!”
Ploque: “It’s… it’s far crazier than I expected.”
Wheatley: “Hm, sounds interesting!”
N: “What were you doing?”
Wheatley: “Ah, well, recently I had joined, what was it… King Julien’s kingdom, right! Well, it’s not much of a kingdom, more of an alliance, but I digress. I was at a meeting for the gro-”
Wheatley stops speaking, as he notices Ploque starting to become visibly uncomfortable.
Wheatley: “...Right, right, you used to be on that team. I could stop ta-”
Ploque: “No, no, it’s- it’s fine, I’ll just… move away-”
Wheatley: “Look, you don’t need to do that! Nothing special happened, anyways.”
N awkwardly looks around as the two talk. Meanwhile…
Flowey: “...”
Amelia: “...”
Kris sits silently, and so does Stanley.
Christ, this is boring. Must I be stuck with everyone who can’t hear me? Well- besides you, Stanley, you don’t need to remind me.
Amelia: “...So, uh, Stanley…”
Oh, FINALLY! Conversation!
Amelia: “Have you… figured out what to do with your IOU thing?”
Ah, that. Stanley explained that he had not yet done so, as such a valuable item required lots of decision-ma-
She can’t hear you or Stanley.
.
Curses. Well, Stanley, just nod your head no, then.
Amelia: “...Maybe y-”
Flowey: “Blow up Antarctica.”
Amelia: “HUH???”
Flowey: “It was a JOKE. I’m JOKING.”
Flowey: “...Or maybe I’m not. You’re never going to know.”
Kris rolls their eyes, though this… isn’t visible to anyone else.
Amelia: “Please be joki-”
Suddenly, a door slams open.
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “Hey all, Koe here!”
N: “Oh, hi, Mr. Koe!”
N waves. The rest just turn to him.
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “Yeah, greetings, greetings! You know what time it is, get in here.”
And so they do… Koe pulls up the holographic, well, graph, as everyone sits down in the chairs.
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “Welcome to your… second elimination in a row, Cool Friends. Yeesh, you guys have really fallen off-”
Koe then notices that, for some reason, Najimi is sitting in a chair as well.
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “...What are you doing here.”
Osana Najimi: “Can a girl not sit?”
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “That’s not my poi- Wait, you’re a girl?”
Osana Najimi: “Maybe! Or I could be a guy. Or both. Or neither. Or-”
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “Okay, okay, I get it- HOW are you still here? You should have gone back through the portal to your home world-”
Osana Najimi: “I unno, it just didn’t work.”
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “...”
Koe sighs.
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “Fine, fine, whatever- you can stay, just don’t mess with the challenges, got it?”
Osana Najimi: “Yippee!”
Najimi does a funky little dance.
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “Let’s get back on track…”
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “SO! We got 33 votes this time around. More than last time, so I’ll take it. Starting with our wheel votes, as per usual… This time around, Kris is the unlucky soul with 0 votes!”
Kris shrugs nonchalantly, writing ‘i’m not that surprised’.
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “Following them is Wheatley, with 2 votes.”
Wheatley: “It’s an improvement, at least!”
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “His first vote reason comes from ‘para’-”
Ploque: “We’re doing names separately now?”
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “Quality of life improvements! As I was saying, the reason reads ‘I think he's gonna get eliminated. Which is like. Not good. Wheatley!! You may be British, (which I dislike), but you must LIVE ON!!!!! For me!! 😔😔
as usual, hi N!! hi Kris!!! hi Stanley!! (and narrator), hi Flowey!! hi Amelia!! Please please please don't lose again there's literally no one else I could vote off.’. Really, who is Narrator-”
N: “I dunno. Also- Hi!!”
Wheatley: “I’m trying my best, trust! …What do you have against the British though-”
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “The other reason comes from ‘#1 t5os beans show fan’, who says ‘Flowey’s annoying, Kris is silent, Amelia and Ploque are sappy and “woe is me im so SAD!!!” characters, and Stanley… I’m not sure about him. Either way, Wheatley is intentionally and unintentionally funny to me. Thus, he deserves to spin the wheel. PS. Amelia, your friends are probably stuck on the plane forever!!!! LOL!!!’.”
Wheatley: “I feel like I should be happy but I’m not sure?”
Amelia: “...I know that’s not true.”
Ploque: “Wow, thanks .”
Flowey: “Watch yourself, I WILL get you one day! And I’m not going to go easy on you.”
chris don’t caare
…How rude.
N: “Awww, I didn’t get mentioned…”
Ploque: “...That’s for the best.”
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “The next two to not spin are Flowey and Ploque, tied with 4 votes each!”
Ploque: “I’m not surpri-”
Flowey: “FUCK”
Ploque: “...sed.”
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “Flowey’s first vote reason comes from an anonymous voter, who tells us ‘first vote i'm making here, decided that flowey could lead to the most fun shenanigans
...despite it being my first vote, that's kinda all i have to say’. It’s okay, you only gotta say what ya want to say! This isn’t English class. There’s no minimum word count.”
Flowey: “Yes there is. Make me a 20-paragraph essay-”
Ploque: “That would make people not vote for you.”
Flowey: “Shit, you’re right.”
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “Next comes from ‘another existor’, who says ‘one of the best currently, just an absolute legend for multiple reasons.
you could say he's the GOAT’.”
Flowey’s eye twitches, but he says nothing.
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “Third is from ‘ADAGE’, who says ‘I am once again voting for my literal goat’- oh, there’s a spoiler block there- ‘- silly me, I brought up his traumatic past again! Whoopsies!’-”
Flowey: “CAN YOU PEOPLE STOP.”
N: “What’s the problem?”
Flowey: “IT’S- Nothing. Nothing. Everything is peeeeerfectly fine.”
…Interesting.
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “Uh… our last vote comes from ‘Night-owl’, who says ‘‘That was a certainly... interesting outcome, but I can't say I'm displeased with how the trial went. Also sorry for indirectly getting someone eliminated.
PS: like the last time, please only show the part below to flowey.’. Welp, here ya go, then!”
Koe tosses the vote reason over, which Flowey reads to himself.
‘Well that was certainly something? Wasn't it? At least not everyone knows yet. Just make sure Artificer doesn't tell.’
Flowey: “...That’s already been dealt with.”
Flowey clicks his tongue. Kris tries peering over, but Flowey quickly rips the message into a thousand pieces.
Flowey: “NOPE! You are not spying on me! That’s MY job!”
Kris is unsatisfied.
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “Leeeeeet’s move onto Ploque- Firstly, we got one from ‘Galaxy’, who says ‘Sorry! im back! this is the same person who got cut off trying to say lore about Ploque... uh actually now that i think about it i dont even know if Ploque knows what im talking about.... hey uh Ploque... has Celesteal been defeated in your universe yet? (sorry that this is more of a question and not a vote reason)’.”
Ploque: “Yeah. It’s been… quite a while since he was, actually.”
N: “Who’s Celesteal?...”
Ploque: “I’ll… explain one day, probably.”
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “Next is from ‘average person’, who says ‘because… shes so awesome… and i feel like she deserves it im too lazy to write long responses today smh’.”
Ploque: “Thanks…”
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “Third is from ‘shoop’, who has quite a long one… The first part reads ‘ploque i NEED your help because you are pro obby designer (source: world 4 challenge course)
i need you to encourage me to beat citadel of laptop splitting in juke's towers of hell okay it's very very difficult and i was very Sad when i died at like floor 14 out of 17’.”
Koe leans into the screen.
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “ For the record, this was sent in before it was renamed to Eternal Towers of Hell! ”
Ploque: “What-”
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “Nothing!”
Ploque: “Okay… uh… I can’t help you from here, but good luck, I guess?”
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “Let’s continue the vote reason… ‘yuh and ummmm
In all seriousness, I'm actually going to go over what I like about everyone here!
Amelia - holy hell I am so sorry. I really hope things end up turning out better post-competition.’.”
Hm?
N: “What does th-”
Amelia: “Don’t… ask.”
N: “...Oooooookay, noted!”
N gives a thumbs up.
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “‘Flowey - You're funny lmao. You're low on the list for getting voted out just because you interrupt the status quo of everyone being friends.’.”
Flowey: “Haha. Losers.”
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “‘Kris - I keep imagining this one .gif of you doing the Gangnam Style... anyways, I think you are very cool.’.”
N slides sunglasses onto Kris, who does finger guns.
Flowey: “That was really stupid to look at.”
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “‘N - ploque and N shipping cute (ok i know i said i would be serious asafasfasfa) Honestly, respect for sticking up for Enderman until the very end. Even if it didn't end up working out, that proves you got a strong character.’.”
N: “You’re welcome!”
…
N: “...Wait what was that first p-”
Ploque: “NOTHING!”
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “‘Ploque - ploque and N shipping cute 2 electric boogaloo (DAMN IT OKAY SERIOUS TALK)
Massive respect still carrying over from the last few episodes. And respect for shutting up Artificer when she needed it.’.”
Ploque: “Yeah, uh, it… it needed to be done.”
N: “...I still wanna-”
Ploque: “No.”
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “‘Stanley and Stanley's imaginary friend Koe don't worry about it - Very funny. Stanley, go talk with your friends some more! Also Stanley's not real imaginary friend (Koe don't look at the last part of this sentence just throw it at Stanley idk)’- okay?”
Koe cuts off the part of the vote reason with scissors and tosses it to Stanley.
‘no one will ever believe your uh people who know you exist’
…I’ve grown used to it by now. Oh, and for what it’s worth, Stanley’ll take your advice.
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “Finally… ‘Wheatley - he is British
(ok but fr) He's a really funny guy overall. He may be the true Cool Friend... also he's not an idiot. (I like him better here than in TWGOC Koe don't ask what that is)’. I already know what TWGOC is, don’t worry!”
Wheatley: “Thanks! Even if it- isn’t my vote-”
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “Lastly, we got a reason from ‘NobodyAtAll’, who says ‘Ploque has honestly gone through more than anyone here, maybe with the exception of N, first got their memories wiped before this whole thing, helped fight some evil guy a while ago, then got forced onto a team she had no interest being on. She got a major head injury, and absolutely nobody cared for 3 episodes, and the first one that did was a mysterious backrooms entity we know nothing about. And then Lamb happened, and her quitting made Lamb hurt her even more. Poor Ploque.’. …Yeesh, when you put it like that…”
Koe rubs the back of his… head?
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “Apologies about all the Lamb stuff.”
Ploque: “It’s… not your fault, really. I mean- I guess you did bring me here, but it’s him who did all the actual bad crap.”
Ploque: “...Also, thank you, NobodyAtAll.”
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “...”
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “Time to move on-”
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “Our last person before the final two is Stanley, with 5 votes! Looks like you won’t be scoring twice in a row.”
One win is good enough, so I’m not pressed. It would be nice, however…
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “Ah, the silent treatment, as always. Your first reason comes from ‘CatSnakeRaven’, who says ‘As I've stated before, The Stanley Parable is an amazing game. One of my favorite endings was the broom closet ending. (Joking! All of the Stanley Parable is my favorite)
Wish you luck for whatever you want luck for! (I'm bad at coming up with things to say for some reason)’.”
…Sigh. That one. I remember it all too well.
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “Next reason comes from ‘Kevin’, who says ‘As much as I would like to give Amelia my prize vote, having Stanley and Narrator in my own show is too funny for me not to give them this vote. I would also like to once again apologize for trespassing, I don't have many ways of contact.’. Hey, don’t worry, it’s fine!”
I’m sorry, what?-
Let’s uhhhh not get too meta okay? Okay.
No, no, please, indulge me in why this ‘Kevin’ claims to have me and Stanley in his show. I already know there’s multiple of me and Stanley, but this is just-
N: “What are you talking about?”
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “What is who talking about?”
N: “Uhhhhhh…”
N: “ Quick, I gotta think of something… ”
…
N: “...The voices in my head!”
N awkwardly smiles.
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “...”
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “...Cool?”
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “Anyways- ‘White_Tiger’ has sent our next vote reason, which says ‘do you think when stanley is inconvenienced he thinks "this is the stanley terrible"’.”
Don’t give him any ideas.
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “Then, we have one from ‘A Lizard :3’, who says ‘WELL I dunno the narrator is just ✨like that✨’- WHO???”
Cricket chirping sfx.
Kris writes ‘just ignore them’.
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “Yeah, that’s- probably the move to make, heh. The last vote reason comes from ‘Slippery’, who says ‘Stanley the light of my life, the bucket to my protagonist, the fern to my story, you mean everything to me please keep going why does your team keep losing all I want is to see you make it to the finals Stanley I love you so much. . Oh yeah and The Narrator too, I guess, hello there, I am NOT paying for your mobile version unless you make an Android one’.”
…First of all, WOW, way to brush me off to the side, second of all did you ju-
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “That brings us to the final two-”
I guess we’re moving on, then.
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “Amelia and N!”
Spotlights shine on the two.
Amelia: “A-Again?”
N: “Woooo! Second time’s the charm!”
Amelia: “...The phrase is third time’s the charm…”
N: “Oh. Nevermi-”
Amelia: “That’d still work, since- since this is our third elimination.”
N: “Oh. Woooo! Third time’s the charm!”
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “I’ll read out 6 reasons from each, starting with the former- ‘Eight’ has sent the first vote reason, which reads ‘really liked her scene even if it did confirm Whippy Creamy is dead rest in peace legend i hope he felt no pains.’.”
#reference
Who- what-
Flowey: “Who the hell is ‘Whippy Creamy’? Sounds like a loser-”
Amelia: “Please… don’t.”
Flowey: “Why? You got something to tell the class?-”
Ploque glares at Flowey. He backs up.
Flowey: “Sheesh, okay, okay!”
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “The second comes from ‘the Spector that shot himself’, who says ‘Dame, Spector hear and…. WOW, you know most dimension variants of one don’t go that bad and that’s not even mentioning the actual contens of your back story and don’t worry I won’t tell it myself it’s clearly your call to do that but still, I send you my condolences. And just to help you out a bit the backpacks name was Liam and the soda bottle was Brice hope that makes you feel better.
(By the way you and plankton make a good team. )
— sincerly, the Spector that shot himself’.”
Flowey: “...Okay, seriously, what-”
Amelia: “I- …Thank you.”
Flowey: “Awesome, I just got ignored.”
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “I’m really out of the loop here, but… let’s just continue. ‘Kairos just woke up from a 4 month nap.’ says ‘Mostly a morality boost for our dear scented candle Amelia. Also Koe, pretty pls give her a cookie?’. Eh, why not.”
Koe hands a cookie to Amelia. She takes a bite out of it.
Amelia: “...This is nice.”
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “Fourth up is from ‘sadboiflower’, who says ‘more Amelia and Plankton? hell yeah man’.”
Kris writes ‘really? plankton ?’
Flowey: “That is the stupidest option from that team.”
Flowey: “...Actually, no, Artificer and whats-their-name-with-the-mask are stupider and I hate their GUTS, but Plankton is not any better!”
Amelia: “It’s not your business…”
Kris blinks.
Amelia: “S-Sorry, that was- that was rude I didn’t mean it that way-”
Kris shrugs, writing ‘no biggie’. Amelia sighs in relief.
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “Our fifth reason is from ‘Scythe’, who has… quite a handful! ‘hi melia !!!
i wish i could hug you aaaa
fuck it
hugs you gently!!!!! :D
also hi n!!!!!! i hope ur doing well
anyways uh gasp im fictionkin oh my gd im scythe from the hit game phighting real!!! (idk why im saying this ITS IRRELEVANT)
queue this song https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vE3oOSKyHeg&list=PLo0zFaH7h_hmDGSQQmtx7v8k9gnbuCyBw&index=802&pp=gAQBiAQB8AUB
also send my regards to test tube, science bear, enderman, and charles greatest plan man. gonna have a section for rocket again dw lol
- Scythe (EmberNyxtical)’. Noted, noted, noted. Oh, uh- I don’t think you can transmit the feeling of touch from the vote messages?”
Ploque: “You think ?”
How would he not be sure- he’s the one who MADE them, isn’t he?
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “I dunno, I never bothered to check.”
…That tracks.
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “The second half will be sent… now!”
Cut to Rocket, who’s playing Block Blast on his phone. Why Block Blast? Hell if I know. The note suddenly appears next to him. He isn’t surprised this time, he just turns to look at it.
Rocket: “Oh, another one?”
He puts his phone down, picking up the paper and reading it.
Rocket: “...‘ok this next part for rocket:
heya!! i hope u enjoy my gift :D
uhh one last gift from me u get an app on ur phone that will allow u to summon anyone from inpherno to here. it uses multiversal charges, and can store up to five at a time. each demon you bring here costs one multiversal charge per hour, and it takes like 3 episodes to recharge just one so use ur charges wisely. can be used basically anywhere anytime (though if it can be used in a challenge is up to koe)
i think the people r sick and tired of me giving you gifts like this so i'll really only give ya smaller gifts if i do for now </3
i hope u enjoy this tho !!!
wishing u the best!!
from scy (embernyxtical)’.”
Rocket: “Oh, that’s-”
Rocket: “...Wait, can… they even hear me here?”
Rocket looks around awkwardly.
Rocket: “I guess I don’t know how these episodes actually work, so I wouldn’t know, hehe… But, if you’re watching, thank you!”
Back to the elimination…
Osana Najimi: “Well, that just ha-”
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “No.”
Osana Najimi: “Booooooo!”
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “That’s so overused!”
Osana Najimi: “But that’s what makes it funny when done ironically.”
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “I don’t even know why you said that in the first place-”
Flowey: “HEY, DIPSHITS, WE STILL HAVE AN ELIMINATION!”
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “...Unnecessarily rude, but, yes, we should get back on track! We got one last reason for Amelia, and it comes from ‘LunarLunarity’, who says… ‘T ha nkY ou. Fo r Ev e vr yth i ng’.”
Silence.
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “...What?”
Wheatley: “Perhaps it’s some kind of secret message?”
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “Maybe- whatever, let’s- let’s get to N’s votes- First one comes from an anonymous voter, who says ‘I already explained this last time, and I don't really see any reason to copy that over. My opinion remains the same.’.”
N: “Thank you!”
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “The second comes from ‘Lighted’, who says ‘lil goober I like him
Also Uzi misses you’.”
N: “Heh, I’m sure she does…”
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “Third reason comes courtesy of ‘Slugfox’, who says ‘Recently I got mixed up in a MD x HK fanfic, and since a character from one of those fandoms is capable of spinning the wheel, I just had to vote for him.
P.S.: N, how are you not overheating?
P.P.S.: *randomly throws a meatball at the Knight*’.”
Somewhere in the building, a meatball is thrown at the Knight.
N: “I-”
N: “...”
N: “...uh…”
N: “...”
N: “...That’s a good question, actually.”
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “This dimension is built to disallow death or disablement by natural causes. That’d count as one!”
N: “Oh, sweet!”
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “The next reason is by ‘Tayoga’, who says ‘It's been a while, and I still haven't seen MD, but poor N :(’.”
N: “It’s- I’m okay, don’t worry! Sure, losing Pizza Steve is a bummer, and now I’m gonna lose someone else , too, but… As long as I’m still standing, I can avenge everyone who goes.”
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “Aww, heartwarming. Moving on, our fifth reason is by ‘BigMinionD’, who says ‘To be honest, I was torn between N and Kris for this one, but I ended up choosing N because…well, look at him! He’s a precious boi!’.”
N: “Hehe, thanks…”
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “And lastly, we got one from the resident ‘LORE GUY’, who’s come to say ‘Eh i chose randomly
Anywho if you want to blame someone for this elimination blame flowey he did it
Anyhow Tiiiiiiiissssss I the lore guy
Now promoted to lore master I have access to more lore than ever before
Heres your trivia
According to The Narrator in the Not Stanley Ending, Stanley cannot speak because he is trained to do so.’.”
All eyes are on Flowey.
Flowey: “So I voted guilty at the start. What about it? I’m not the only one- Wheatley did it too, for fuck’s sake!”
Wheatley: “Reluctantly! You were onboard immediately…”
Flowey: “I do not give a damn.”
Ploque: “...I mean, in the end, all four of us there did… I don’t think we’re to blame, it’s just the circumstances.”
All eyes are off Flowey. He discreetly sighs in relief.
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “Now let’s reveal who gets to spin the wheel…”
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “N, with 11 votes! Amelia only got 7.”
Confetti falls onto N.
N: “Oh my robo-jesus- Thank you guys!!”
Amelia: “Good job, N…”
N: “Hey, second’s nothing to scoff at, Amelia! Pat yourself on the back!”
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “For the last few reasons for N, we’ll start with one by ‘SPAMTON G. SPAMTON’, who says ‘N!!! GLAD THAT YOU ACCEPTED MY [generous offer], AS PROMISED MY [vote for your preferred candidate here] WILL BE GOING TO YOU, TO CONTINUE THIS [Transaction] JUST BORROW SOME PEOPLES [heart shaped objects] SO I CAN ACHIEVE [heaven.] AND BE FREE FROM MY [silly strings!]’.”
N: “Borrow people’s heart shaped objects… Will do! Once I, uh, figure out what kind of heart shaped objects I need to get…”
Kris subtly scoots away from N.
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “Secondly, we got one from ‘Moki (@myassisNOTfunctioning)’, who’s given us a looooooong reason… ‘Yes i suppose yall are gonna recognize me due to the really long explanation format
And yes i’m still going for N :3
Partly bc hes still my personal favourite in this entire team, and partly bc i feel bad for him
No offense but this is really different from my normal self, i tend to make my favourite characters suffer the most gruesome n horrible shits i can think of
Rip Cool Friends, really didnt expect you to lose 2 times in a row… hope you can make up for the next challenge (?) bc i dont wanna see a team getting torn apart too quickly (no malice dw ;p)
Not gonna vote to eliminate anyone today, prolly due to me not feeling like it and not being able to pick anyone with reasonable reasonings… but be beware Flowey, i got my eyes on you
I know your secret, no, actually, we all know.’.”
All eyes are on Flowey… again.
Flowey: “I have no idea what this person is talking about.”
Ploque: “Knowing you, I can’t trust that.”
Wheatley: “Don’t tell me…”
Wheatley: “You’re a drug trafficker?!”
.
Flowey: “That was your first thought?”
Wheatley: “Well, lad, I wouldn’t be surpr-”
Flowey: “Oh, right, you don’t HAVE thoughts! Cus you’re a moron!”
Wheatley: “I AM NOT A MORON!”
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “‘So… another infodump shall we :D i love making essays about characters/fandoms that i like
Gotta spin the wheel… bam bam bam!
Another character from Rocket’s universe.
You can tell i’m obsessed with it.
This wont be too long dw
So!!!
SWORD
I chose him bc, well, in my words, hes Rocket’s ‘bestie’! Though they both arent my top favourites, but i guess?
Bro’s a demigod (son of Venomshank)
Gear: Linked Sword (i suppose you can already figure that out)
Besties with Rocket since childhood
Friends with criminals (Medkit to be specific - Rocket is completely unaware)
This guy is in a really goofy position: His friend is a criminal, but his cousin (aka. Banhammer) is the warden of well, the jail (the police to be short)? I only said that for yall to understand, it has a name
Bird instincts
Rocket: *rabid noises*
Sword: it’s okay guys he’s harmless!!!
(They are both idiots and i love it)
Eh… i guess that concludes my vote! Idk if my infos are straightup detrimental for Rocket to let others know or not
So yea, you’re gonna see me regularly in the future ;) be prepared to see my goofy aah comments in every single elimination youre gonna attend’.”
Once again, Ploque shuffles around awkwardly regarding the subject…
…
N: “...Wow, that was a lot of info.”
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “Yyyyyup. Lastly, we got one from ‘Cyn’-”
N: “SHE’S ALIVE?!”
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “Huh- I mean, if she’s dead, there’s still parallel universes…”
N: “...Oh, that, uh… that… makes sense…”
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “Why’d you freak out so badly?”
N: “Shemayormaynotbeassociatedwiththeaithattookovermybodyandmademekillalmosteveryone”
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “.”
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “ah”
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “...The reason reads… ‘"Giggle. Did you think I wouldn't try to help Big Brother N? So, so, silly. Disbelieving head shake. Smile. You should glad, Big Brother. After all, you were the only one of the board to be correct. Though, I will admit, I am curious. Where, or rather WHEN were you before this whole competition started? On Copper-9, I mean. Also, I summon Nori Doorman post-finale to join the r-’ NOW HOLD ON THERE I’m not really a stickler but I’m not just gonna let people add contestants to my show! Do you know how long this thing’d last if every episode we got a billion new guys? And think of the screen time! Gosh…”
N: “... When ? What does when mean- uh, actually, maybe I’m better off not asking. Not sure I wanna answer this, anyways… Imma just go spin the wheel-”
N slides over to the wheel, and spins it, landing on…
‘Laptop’.
A laptop appears in N’s hands.
N: “Huh?”
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “Ah, that’s one of the more mysterious ones! Not even I know what’s on the hard drive to that thing.”
N: “...Well, I’ll check it out after the challenge!”
N sits back down, the laptop sitting in, well, his lap.
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “Now, onto the actual elimination! First off, Amelia, N, and Stanley - the top three in the spin vote - all secure safety with just a single elimination vote each.”
Koe tosses a whole handful of curly fries at each person. They kinda just bounce off the former two, while-
Stanley manages to catch the fries, and tastes one out of curiosity. It’s not half-bad, to be honest.
N: “Aw, I can’t eat these.”
Amelia: “You can’t?...”
N: “I only drink oil!”
Amelia: “...Wow.”
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “Amelia’s singular vote is by ‘Night-owl’, which reads ‘I don't really want to vote anyone out. You all are probably the best team here. Sadly though I do have to choose someone. And that person is Amelia. Not because I dislike her, but simply because I don't know you as well as the others. No hard feelings, alright?’...”
Amelia: “Don’t… worry, I understand…”
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “N’s singular vote is by ‘ADAGE’, which reads ‘I want Wheatley to outlast N for once (it’s never happening, but still)’...”
N: “For- for once ?”
Wheatley: “Maybe it’s the parallel universes thing?”
N: “Oh, yeah, that’d make sense!”
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “And Stanley’s singular vote is by ‘shoop’, which reads ‘im hongry
wait what do you mean pizza steve is already out and i can't use this same vote again
um.
koe this is like handing me a shotgun and telling me to kill one of my best friends
one of my Cool Friends, if you will...
i'm gonna go with Stanley because a certain other Stanley is Grunkle Stunkle who won the Funkle Bunkle and idk man, he just can't compare…’.”
The Funkle Bunkle?
Kris writes ‘grunkle stunkle wins the funkle bunkle’.
That explains nothing- right, they wouldn’t have heard me, anyways.
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “Next safe is Kris, with 3 votes!”
Kris opens their mouth and manages to catch all the curly fries in their mouth somehow, before eating them.
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “...Wow.”
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “Kris’s first reason comes from an anonymous voter, who says ‘Blame the wheel of names’.”
Kris is too busy to listen.
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “...Kris’s second reason comes from ‘Eight.’, who says ‘again their thing is done.’.”
Kris is too busy to listen.
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “Uh… Kris’s… third and final reason comes from ‘LunarLunarity’, who… says ‘T h ey C ou l d Be AB i t Mo re Y ell ow’...”
Kris is too busy to listen.
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “.”
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “Next safe is Ploque, with 4 votes!”
Ploque catches the curly fries.
Ploque: “I don’t… want these.”
Kris takes the curly fries and eats them.
Ploque: “That- that works.”
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “The first reason comes from ‘Slippery’, who says ‘Idk who to vote I'm sorry’.”
Ploque: “I… get it, I guess? Not sure why you picked me out of everyone, though.”
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “Next, we got one from ‘#1 t5os beans show fan’, who says ‘Like i said before. Plorque is a boring person whose only character trait is liking saws and being sad. I can say one notable thing about her, however, she should’ve SAW this coming! Oh ho ho!!’.”
Ploque: “First of all, shut up. Second of all, that pun sucked. Third of all, shut up.”
N: “Ploque, you said shut up twice-”
Ploque: “Yeah, that was… intentional.”
N: “Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!”
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “The third is from ‘White_Tiger’, who’s written ‘do you think when ploque is inconvenienced they think "this is the ploque terrible"’.”
Ploque: “.”
That- that one doesn’t even work!
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “Lastly, we got one from ‘para’, who says ‘Sorry, Ploque. It's really hard to choose considering everyone on the team are my favorites. again, PLEASE DONT LOSE AGAIN GUYS ITS REALLY HARD TO CHOOSE WHO TO VOTE. 😮💨😮💨😔😔😔😔😨😨😨😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😥😥😥😥😭😭😭😭😭😿😿😿’.”
Ploque: “Once again, I… don’t see why it was me specifically…”
Wheatley: “Luck of the draw, lad! Sometimes, it is cruel…”
Wheatley: “...Very, very, very cruel-”
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “Now, we’re in the bottom two… Flowey and Wheatley.”
Wheatley: “-LIKE RIGHT NOW.”
Flowey: “OH MY FUCKING GOD WHY AM I IN THE BOTTOM TWO WITH THIS GUY?!”
Wheatley: “I don’t want to be here either!”
Flowey: “Well, you deserve to be here-”
Wheatley: “That’s ironic coming from you, Flowey!”
Flowey: “Without drama, this show would be boring as shit!”
Wheatley: “So?”
Flowey: “The viewers would be unsatisfied and leave and the show’d be cancelled, so even if you somehow don’t get out, you’d be disappointed with your life!”
Wheatley: “...”
Flowey: “Makes sense, huh?”
Wheatley: “Well- I still don’t want to get out!”
Flowey: “Tough luck, buttercup-”
Wheatley: “YOU’RE THE BUTTERCUP.”
Flowey: “IT’S A PHRASE, YOU MORON.”
Wheatley: “I’M-”
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “Okay, okay, enough out of you two! We have things to get through!”
Flowey: “Whatever.”
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “I’ll read 10 reasons from each person, starting with Flowey… the first comes from ‘BigMinionD’, who says ‘He’s an apathetic, remorseless murderer, the worst one out of the contestants. Need I say any more?’.”
Flowey: “Carl is right there.”
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “Secondly, we have a reason from ‘A guy who loves UTY’, who says ‘KILL THE FLOWER! I DON'T GIVE A DAMN IF HE'S TECHNICALLY ROYALTY, HE BETTER HOPE CLOVER OR FRISK SHOW UP TO SAVE HIS PLANTY ASS!’.”
Flowey: “Who the hell is Clover?”
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “Oh, yeah, you’re purely from Undertale canon…”
Flowey: “WHAT DOES THAT MEAN.”
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “Meta stuff, don’t worry about it!”
Can we… talk about that royalty part?
It seems Flowey is intentionally ignoring it.
Hm.
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “Next one comes from ‘Slugfox’, who simply says ‘Creep.’.”
Flowey: “Once again, Carl is right there.”
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “Fourth is by ‘SPAMTON G. SPAMTON’, who says ‘YOU! YOU ARE A CRUEL CRUEL [weed remover for sale] HOW ABOUT YOU DO ALL OF US A FAVOR AND [Get outta town!!!]’.”
Flowey: “HA! You WISH!”
Ploque: “There’s a solid 90% chance you go.”
Flowey: “THAT IS NOT TRUE WHEATLEY WAS IN THE BOTTOM TWO LAST TIME.”
Ploque: “Consider that you’re already just… a jerk. To everyone.”
Kris looks at Ploque.
Ploque: “...Except Kris, apparently?”
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “Fifth is from ‘Kevin’, who says ‘As much as voting people in arcs is pretty frowned upon by myself, being an asshole then being threatened by death for it makes it REALLY seem like you should get out. Sorry, but not really. I kinda hope you don't really get eliminated, but I don’t have the urge to vote anybody else.’.”
Flowey: “Wowwww, okay. Voting for me and NOT wanting me eliminated? Make up your mind!”
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “Next, we have a vote reason from ‘A Lizard :3’, who’s written ‘. you are SNEAKY for what you pulled, and I honestly respect that, man. But you're putting my favourites in danger and wellllllllll-’.”
Amelia: “Flowey…”
Flowey: “I SAID I DID NOTHING-”
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “The seventh reason for Flowey is from ‘Tayoga’, and says ‘Jerk still >:( Also, I saw Centaurworld so say sorry to Glendale for me. (Oh, and since people are sending stuff now, please send Y’- OKAY. No more living beings through vote reasons. We’ve had enough of that!”
Osana Najimi: “That’s so sad…”
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “This does not affect you at all.”
Osana Najimi: “It’s on behalf of the viewers!”
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “...The eighth reason for Flowey comes from ‘Scythe’, who says ‘yerrrr gettin touched inappropriately buddy /nsrs
ghrssajhuhgjdkuhsjdkfsKSFKMSGHJKKJFS murders you mauls you to death eats y- wait nvm im not eating you eugh ya taste like shitttttt
SOMEONE SMELL LIKE SHIIIIIIT EEEUUUUUUGH
btw last time im using embernyxtical in signoff bc id just rather be called scythe
or Phighter_14 thats fine too
- Scythe (EmberNyxtical)’.”
Flowey: “...O…kay?”
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “Yeah I dunno what that was either- the next reason is from ‘bartolumeal Bob / the lore guy’, and he’s got another long one… ‘FLOWER / GOTE MAN YOU HAVE LORE TO BE SAID NOW AAAaaaAaSaaaswadQwsAaaAawsSqsSaaaAAaa:)
(But first watch this: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=Sgon-9N5v7A)
Any ways BOBOBOBOBOBarthoulymulrery man hears once now’s with the of more LORE!
Lore no1: I apparently have minor dyslexia’. Huh.”
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “‘L O R E 2 : the portal universe (the one Wheatley is from) is the same as the half life universe so in wheatleys world the planet has actually been invaded and Conquered by a alien species called the combine who are very dangerous and powerful, in fact the only reason humanity is still alive in his word is because the humans are very smart and the aliens are using them to help invent things like teleportation and the react are just slaves. :)’.”
Ploque: “That’s… dark.”
I am quite glad we do not live in that universe.
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “‘3rd lore ( ThIs one aBoUt the fLoWeR):)))). : Flowey doesn’t have a soul, and I don’t mean he is evil or anything but that in his universe/multiverse people have a physical manifestation of their being called a soul which is how they feel happy scared or remorseful. Now just because Flowey doesn’t have one doesn’t mean he CANT feel but that any time he tries to or vaguely feels it isn’t a true feeling, tho it Technically isn’t impossible for him to truly feel it’s just that the only timelines he has truly felt without a soul was the emotional fear and that was only in dimensions when he came face to face with a being capable of destroying the entire universe and every universe with a creature of such power are nothing but dust as far as I know.
(PS yes I baretholoumeale Bob can see into separate universe and timelines how else did you think I know so much about all of you? ;)
(Ps2 I voted using a Random number generator)
— the LORE Guy’.”
…
Amelia: “That’s… sad-”
Flowey: “Don’t try feeling remorse for me. Who the hell cares about that kinda crap, anyways?”
N: “I do!”
Flowey: “WELL OF COURSE YOU DO.”
N: “:(”
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “Lastly, we got one from ‘LORE GUY’, who also has a whole lotta stuff to say… ‘Ehem shadow realm time
Tiiiiiiiissssss I the lore guy
Here have some lore
Long ago, two races ruled over Earth: HUMANS and MONSTERS.
One day, war broke out between the two races.
After a long battle, the humans were victorious.
They sealed the monsters underground with a magic spell.
One day a human fell into the underground and was found by the prince of the monsters
They quickly became friends and the human was adopted by the rulers of the monsters
One day however the human fell ill and eventually died
The prince absorbed the humans SOUL to honor their last wish which was to see a patch of their favorite flowers again
But the other humans saw the prince carrying the human and thought that the prince had killed them
So they killed the prince
In his grief the king of the monsters declared that all humans who fell into the underground would be killed
But that is not the end of the prince
The royal scientist was doing experiments with a substance called DETERMINATION in an attempt to bring dead monsters back to life, she tried it on a bed of flowers first
There didn't seem to be any adverse effects so she continued with her work
If she had stayed longer she would have noticed one of the flowers waking up
The flower was confused for it did not have a SOUL, at least not anymore
The flower changed its name to better suit its new form’...”
Koe looks at the paper.
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “...Welp, uh, the rest of the message got cut off for spoilers. Wow. That’s a hell of a cliffhanger.”
…
N: “Wait, what does any of that have to do with Flowey-”
Flowey: “Shut up.”
Ploque: “He didn’t even-”
Flowey: “YOU SHUT UP TOO.”
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “Let’s- move on?”
Flowey: “YES.”
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “Alright- Wheatley! Your first vote reason comes from an anonymous voter, who says ‘Same deal as last time, though since this episode has shaken things up, I'll reevaluate the characters and safety priority list.
Ploque - Same deal as last time. I do like how she stuck up for N twice this episode, which means she has clearly been improving. Good for her.’.”
Ploque: “Thanks…”
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “‘Amelia - The backstory dump she gave this episode has definitely made her go a lot higher in my rankings, because we finally have an explanation for why she acts how she does, and more that I won't spoil for the contestants' sake.’.”
N: “Hm?”
Amelia: “...”
N: “...Actually, nevermind, I won’t pry!”
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “‘Flowey - Still not spoiling, but trouble is definitely brewing for him. I could see some people gunning to get him out after the stunts he pulled this episode, but I honestly hope he stays safe again, so we can see how the arc ends.’.”
Flowey: “I think we all know people are out to get me.”
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “‘Kris, Stanley & The Narrator - Condensed into one row. I still don't have much to say on them.’.”
If I had eyes, I would roll them. Stanley, can you- oh, you… don’t care at all. Well, there goes that, then.
Kris just doesn’t give a fuck.
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “‘Wheatley - ...Same thing as last time. I gotta give a bit of credit for the attempt at relevancy, but it's unfortunately not enough for him to escape my vote. If he manages to barely survive again, I hope he'll finally get stuff to do.’.”
Wheatley: “Aw, come on, there’s gotta be something!”
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “Next, we got one by ‘NobodyAtAll’, who says ‘Honestly just the most boring one right now.’.”
Wheatley: “...”
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “The third reason is by another anonymous voter, who’s written ‘okay, this is a hard decision.
amelia really shined this episode, can't vote her off
no way do i want flowey gone this early
the narrator beef is funny (no, i will not be elaborating on this narrator person, lmao)
like flowey, it does not feel like ploque and n's time to go right now
that leaves kris and wheatley, two twgocyes characters wow! i like kris more so sorry wheatley bro’.”
Wheatley: “Am I really that boring?”
N: “What- no, not at all!”
Wheatley: “Well, I’d love to believe you, N, trust me- but everyone seems to be saying it!-”
Flowey: “I agree.”
Wheatley: “Okay, if Flowey agrees, I’ll disregard it-”
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “Fourth is from ‘Galaxy’, who says ‘The fact that you survived over Pizza Steve shocked me. as, like i said, WHAT DID YOU DO!? YOU DID NOTHING TO THE TEAM!’.”
Wheatley: “.”
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “And then we have a fifth reason from ‘average person’, saying ‘honestly id vote flowey if i didnt see the end of the chapter i want to see the fallout of all of this. as for why i voted this guy eh,, i just dont rl care for him i guess,,, sorry’.”
Wheatley: “Come on , lads.”
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “Sixth says ‘(hard decision time!) Soooo... firstly, I apologize, this team has all my favorites and I'm having indecision. Portal is a great game- but character-wise, most of my favorites (excluding you, sorry!) from my favorite games/shows are here. Although, Ploque is the exception in this case, who I do not know but like nonetheless.
Remember, if life gives you lemons, don't make lemonade, make combustible lemons for arson! (had to shorten the lemon rant)’.”
Wheatley: “I can’t be that bad, right?! Right?!”
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “Next, from ‘sadboiflower’, we got ‘i don’t have a real reason, sorry bud
also send this bit to test tube please’-”
Sent! The extra part reads… ‘(attached is a Fan plushie or something, if not that maybe a cup of nitrogen ice cream or a Mitski record. I feel like she would like that)’.
Flowey: “You’re that bad, yeah.”
Ploque: “Why do you love being a contrarian all the time???”
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “Eighth is from ‘another existor’, who’s written ‘hello! this is the part where we kill you!’.”
Flowey: “I just don’t like Wheatley.”
Wheatley: “What did I ever do to you???”
Flowey: “Be annoying, be a bitch, be a moron-”
Wheatley: “I-”
Flowey: “YOU’VE DONE THAT BIT LIKE TWICE ALREADY.”
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “Ninth is from ‘Kairos just woke up from a 4 month nap.’, and says ‘Punt bro into the deepest parts of outer space, specifically a comically large metal mechanical boot sending him flying into outer space.’.”
Ploque: “You are just- a complete asshole , Flowey. That’s what you are.”
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “The last reason is from ‘Lighted’, and says ‘Honestly, I just feet like he doesn’t do anything relevant to the story and he’s just there.’...”
Flowey: “So? What makes you think you can tell me what I can be? I’m MY OWN FLOWER!”
Ploque: “It’s basic ethics-”
Flowey: “Tell me what lets you have the moral high ground, idiot!”
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “‘Okay now time for a rant’...”
Ploque: “I-”
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “‘Ploque I hate you. I hate you. You just abandoned Rocket and left the team. He still wants to talk to you but you just push him away. I don’t even know anymore. I have seen similar things happen before. Someone has new friends, new people to hang out with, and they pushed their old friends away, even forgetting about them. This happened to me too, so it really triggers some form of trauma. Don’t fall into the rabbit hole like I did. Spare time to talk to Rocket. Make up to him before it’s too late.’.”
…
Ploque: “...”
Flowey: “...Wouldya look at that, the voters proved you wrong for me!-”
Ploque stomps out of the room.
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “You can’t just leave mid-elimination-”
Najimi shushes Koe.
Osana Najimi: “Sometimes you gotta let people do what they gotta do, Koe!”
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “...”
Koe sighs.
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “Let’s, uh… get to the votes.”
Flowey: “Oh my fucking god I forgot about that part.”
Wheatley: “Dontbemedontbemedontbemedontbeme”
Drumroll…
Flowey has 11 votes.
Wheatley has 12.
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “Flowey just BARELY clutches a survival! Sorry, Wheatley, but-”
N: “I gotta go check on Ploque- Wheatley, I’ll miss you, buddy!”
N runs out of there.
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “I.”
Wheatley: “...Well, at least he got to tell me goodbye?”
Wheatley: “But- seriously, lads, how did you let ME get out over Flowey?”
Flowey: “We’ve had this conversation a thousand times already!”
Amelia: “Can you two… stop fighting-”
Flowey: “NO-”
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “Actually, yes, please do! I gotta send Wheatley away.”
Kris pats Wheatley on the… well, he’s a core, he don’t got a head, so just his top.
Wheatley: “I’ll miss ya too, lad. And the rest of you! Including N and Ploque! Not Flowey, though, he can rot in hell!”
Flowey: “WHAT HAPPENED TO THE NICE GUY ACT???”
Wheatley: “Honesty is the best policy-”
Koe sends Wheatley to the THoE.
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “...The elimination’s over. You guys can head out.”
Everyone does so.
…How did everything go wrong so quickly?
Meanwhile, outside the elimination room, N is running through the halls.
N: “PLOQUE! PLOQUE, WHERE ARE YA?”
He skids to a stop in front of a closet, and slowly opens the door to reveal Ploque sitting in it.
Ploque: “...”
N: “...”
Ploque: “...G-”
N: “No, Ploque, I’m not going away.”
Ploque: “How did you know I was going to?...”
N: “Intuition! But that’s not important.”
Silence.
N: “...Are you… okay?”
Ploque: “I-”
Ploque: “...No. No, I’m not okay.”
N: “...It was that last vote reason, wasn’t it.”
Ploque simply nods. N sits down next to her.
N: “It’s not your fault, Ploque-”
Ploque: “But it IS! I- I abandoned Rocket. I just… couldn’t help but associate the entire team with all the shit I went through there, and- that… that includes him. But I don’t hate him, I just- don’t want to get roped up in all that shit again.”
Ploque: “...Yet, he- HE did nothing wrong! He’s the only one that I could truly depend on there- and I just- …left him behind.”
Ploque: “That voter… they’re right. They deserve to hate me.”
N: “...”
N: “You still have time, Ploque. You can fix this. It’s not too late yet.”
Ploque: “I don’t even know where to start…”
N: “After the challenge. We can both go.”
Ploque: “...”
Ploque leans her head on N’s shoulder.
Ploque: “Okay.”
N: “That’s the spirit!...”
N: “ ...Poor girl… ”
Later… everyone is gathered outside of the building.
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “Alrighty, everyone! Today’s episode is special, because…”
A banner appears above him, saying ‘CROSSOVER EPISODE’ as confetti falls from the sky.
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “We’re having a CROSSOVER!”
Nikoly: “Holy moly ravioli guacamole.”
Red: “But with who?”
Another banner appears, saying ‘pass’. There’s also more confetti.
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “pass! Also known as, uh… piss and shit show.”
Flowey: “Wow, that name sucks ass-”
Nikoly: “LET’S FUCKING GOOOOOOOOOOOOOO”
Nikoly shakes Blocky.
Nikoly: “WE GOT PEAK IN THE BUILDING”
Blocky: “HAHAHAHA, HELL YES!”
Squid: “What in the-”
Tree-y: “♪ you have missed out on what we’re talking about ♪”
Squid: “I can tell.”
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “So, without further ado, let’s meet our special guests!”
Koe snaps, and-
Hoe Kohzd: “wassup bitches and beaches”
Oh dear.
King Julien: “I never knew you had a brother, Mr. Hohzd!”
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “No, he’s not, I uh- I have no idea why he looks like me.”
Hoe Kohzd: “Me neither vro”
Hoe Kohzd: “Also the narrator forgot to introduce my contestants”
They’re there, I just figured that was obvious to the readers.
Fhool’Djuu: “the new world…”
Misato Tachibana: “What… exactly are we doing here?”
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “Crossover.”
Hoe Kohzd: “Crossover”
“Osana Najimi”: “Crossover!”
…
Donkey whispers to Spider-Ham.
Donkey: “ Don’t they look like that Najimi person?... ”
Spider-Ham: “ Probably an alternate universe version. ”
Donkey: “ OHHHHHHHHHHHHHH ”
Sans: “Huh. Neat.”
Flowey: “why does he look like that”
Sans: “Parall-”
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “We’ve used that phrase enough times today, let’s give it a rest!”
Koe snaps, creating a hologram showing the challenge explanation…
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “We’ll be borrowing challenges from Hoe Kohzd’s show to act as mini-challenges. Each team will get one, and will receive assistance from two of the show’s contestants each.”
TikTok: “Erm, what the-”
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “Okay, do we really gotta have her here?”
TikTok: “What.”
Hoe Kohzd: “We can banish her”
TikTok gets sent to the void.
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “.”
Hoe Kohzd: “haha jonathan y”
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “Hold on, I can get a replacement-”
Koe drags over… Kinen from KIDS!!!
Kinen: “Oh, so this is-”
Kinen sees Hoe Kohzd.
Kinen: “wh”
Kinen: “Huh”
Kinen: “What???”
Hoe Kohzd: “Ohhhhh this must be in the time period where I hosted that one episode of KIDS”
Hoe Kohzd: “haha. Love temporal paradoxes”
Kinen: “...I probably should’ve expected that from you.”
Hoe Kohzd: “By the way y-”
Joe shushes Hoe.
Joe Tazuna: “Hoe, I know what you’re doing, please don’t give anyone an existential crisis by telling them their future…”
Hoe Kohzd: “awwwwwwwwwwwh… youre so mean to me ess emm aych i will cry”
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “...Let’s… get to the challenge, okay? Okay.”
Koe snaps, and everyone is sent away! Except him and Hoe.
Hoe Kohzd: “So what do i do…………”
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “You could do the intro.”
Hoe Kohzd: “👀 bet”
Hoe puts his foot up…
Cut to BFDI, who’s been paired with Misato Tachibana and “Osana Najimi”.
Nikoly: “holayyyyyyy”
Squid: “Are you done freaking out about this? It’s getting old.”
Nikoly: “No dude you. You don’t understand.”
Nikoly points to “Najimi”.
Nikoly: “That’s the WINNER OF PISS AND SHIT SHOW.”
“Osana Najimi”: “:3”
Squid: “O…kay?”
Red: “Uhhh… hi. What’s- what’s our challenge?”
Misato Tachibana: “Hold on, lemme check.”
Misato reads a paper. Her face immediately becomes flushed.
Misato Tachibana: “...You… have to be fucking kidding me.”
“Osana Najimi”: “Hm?”
“Najimi” looks over.
“Osana Najimi”: “...OHHHHHHHHHHHHH.”
Tree-y: “♪ i do not like the words that strike ♪”
Blocky: “What the block does that mean- just tell us what the challenge is!”
Misato Tachibana: “It’s- just- look.”
Misato shows the paper… ‘Episode 5: One-Day Fiance’.
Nikoly: “oh”
Red: “...”
Red: “I’m- out-”
Squid: “WHAT?!”
Red: “Okay, okay, I-”
Squid: “You’re just- abandoning the challenge?!”
Nikoly: “The challenge is romance.”
Squid: “...Nevermind, I suppose it’s justified this time.”
Red sighs in relief.
Squid: “On that note, I’m also not going to engage in… this .”
Tree-y: “me too”
“Osana Najimi”: “...So are none of yousies doing the challe-”
The room dims as spotlights fall upon two people doing cool-ass poses…
Nikoly: “We will do it.”
Blocky: “Bring it on! We can take whatever the hell happens!”
Misato Tachibana: “...It’s not that serious.”
“Osana Najimi”: “Ooooooooo…”
Misato Tachibana: “.”
“Osana Najimi”: “What? It’s coooool.”
Misato Tachibana: “I-”
Squid: “Can you get to explaining the challenge?”
Misato Tachibana: “HEY! Who said you could boss me around-”
Squid summons a spike and puts it up to Misato’s neck. Sweat drips down her face.
Squid: “I don’t play , child.”
“Osana Najimi”: “WAITWAITWAITNONONODONTHURTHER-”
Misato Tachibana: “Okay, okay, just- let me go!”
Squid does so. Misato takes a moment to catch her breath, as “Najimi” ensures she’s okay.
Tree-y: “♪ you did not need to be so mean ♪”
Squid: “I was merely doing what I had to.”
Blocky: “...Aaaaaanyways, first task, that’s-”
Misato Tachibana: “Ordering food.”
Blocky: “Yup. Yup, I knew that.”
Nikoly: “BRING IN THE DELICACIES.”
A table appears in the middle of the room, with two chairs.
Nikoly: “I call shotgun!”
Nikoly hops into one chair.
Blocky: “Aw, dangit.”
Blocky gets into the other one.
Red: “You can’t call shotgun on chairs-”
Nikoly: “Shhhhhhhhhhhhh.”
“Osana Najimi”: “Can I be the waiter???”
Misato Tachibana: “Yeah, sure, why not.”
“Osana Najimi”: “:lightning:”
“Najimi” - suddenly wearing fancy clothes - slides over to Blocky and Nikoly.
“Osana Najimi”: “Greetings, fine sirs. What would you like?”
…
“Osana Najimi”: “Was that a good impression?”
Nikoly: “On point!”
“Osana Najimi”: “Yayyyyyy”
Blocky and Nikoly then whisper to each other.
Nikoly: “ What do we get? ”
Blocky: “ Well, this and the next part of the challenge don’t matter, right? ”
Nikoly: “ Yeah… ”
Blocky: “ So we can just get whatever. ”
Nikoly: “ Awwww, but it’d be funny to go the whole mile. ”
Blocky: “ ...Shit, it WOULD be funny. ”
Nikoly: “ Exactly! ”
Blocky: “ Screw it, let’s go. ”
Nikoly: “ Spaghetti? ”
Blocky: “ Spaghetti. ”
The two turn to “Najimi”.
Nikoly: “Spaghetti!”
Blocky: “For the both of us!”
“Osana Najimi”: “Okay!”
“Osana Najimi”: “...”
“Osana Najimi”: “...How do I get the food-”
Cut to RCoKJ. Sans puts down the paper for the team to see.
Sans: “Episode 7. Capitalism.”
King Julien: “...What is… ‘capitalism’?”
Carl: “A stain on this earth.”
Spider-Ham: “Wow, okay, we don’t have to go that far-”
Pinky: “What it means in this context is that you have to sell stuff, and make enough money to get immunity! Though… I don’t know how much is enough…”
Carl: “Oh, that’s easy.”
Carl quickly sets up a stand. It says ‘$15 for me to break the ankles of someone of your choice’ on the top.
Rocket: “...Carl…”
Carl: “You can tip an extra $5 for me to break your ankles as well.”
Pinky: “I… why ?”
Sans: “You’re thinking too small. You need more.”
Donkey: “Well, whaddya suggest, then?”
Sans: “Gym membership-”
Pinky: “That’s very clearly self-biased…”
Sans: “...And?”
Pinky: “How many people actually buy those nowadays?”
Sans: “Ah. Fair.”
Pinky: “Why not just try a general goods store?”
Spider-Ham: “But that has no flair, you know. Something flashy, that’d pull in customers, wouldn’t it?”
Rocket: “Hm…”
Rocket scrolls through his phone, but then suddenly gets an idea.
Rocket: “Hey, King Julien, maybe we could sell stuff from where you’re from?”
King Julien: “Oh, that’s perfect! The question is, though, how do we get it…”
Pinky: “Well, there’s this.”
Pinky holds up an infinite matter generator. Donkey and Spider-Ham stare at it in awe.
Donkey: “Holy cow …”
Spider-Ham: “You just have such a powerful thing on hand?”
Pinky: “Hoe Kohzd gave us this for the challenge.”
Sans: “He can be benevolent… sometimes.”
Pinky and Sans both reminisce on unpleasant experiences with the insane machine.
Pinky: “...Eugh.”
King Julien: “That is very vague, but I don’t think I want to know the meaning!”
Carl: “I do.”
Rocket: “Well, of course you do…”
Donkey: “Ay, let’s get to work, already!”
Cut to CF. Joe and Kinen are reading over the paper they were given.
Kinen: “‘ Episode 8… destroy an IKEA’?? ”
Joe Tazuna: “ Oh, that’s when Kevin hosted the show. ”
Kinen: “ He- oh, yeah, he’s doing that. And Hoe’s hosting ours right now. ”
Joe Tazuna: “ Waitwaitwaitwait- what? How? ”
Kinen: “ Timeline shenanigans or something, I dunno. ”
Joe Tazuna: “ ...Ah. Yeah, that’d track, heh. ”
Joe and Kinen then look up from the paper to greet the team they’re helping.
Kinen: “So, we’re your assista-”
Kinen: “Oh, christ, you guys look horrible.”
Flowey is a smug little shit, Ploque still looks sad, N is trying to console her still as well, Amelia’s normal but she’s kinda always sad, Kris is disinterested, and… Stanley.
Really? Is that all you could come up with? I’m right here.
To be fair, they wouldn’t be able to hear you. Well- Kinen does in the future, I think? Not now, though.
Excuse me, WHAT does that mean-
N: “We’ve, uh… gone through a lot today already.”
Kinen: “Oof.”
Joe Tazuna: “Noooooot sure how much you’re gonna like this challenge, then…”
Flowey: “Meh, couldn’t be that bad.”
Kinen: “You have to destroy an entire IKEA.”
Flowey: “See? This is RIGHT up my alley!”
Amelia: “...How is that going to fit in this room, though?...”
Kinen: “...Good question.”
Pocket dimension. CF is stunned, for the most part.
Kinen: “And I guess we have an answer to that, too?”
Joe Tazuna: “Huh. Neat!”
Ploque looks up at the two.
Ploque: “That’s… not concerning to you guys?”
Kinen: “You, uh, you get used to weird things happening at a certain point.”
Joe Tazuna: “Yyyyyyyyup.”
Ploque: “.”
…Interesting for sure.
N: “Heh, yeah!”
Kinen: “Who are you talking to?”
N: “Narrator.”
Kinen: “.”
Joe Tazuna: “Awesome!”
Joe shoots fingerguns.
Joe Tazuna: “Anyways, you guys should get to doing the challenge.”
Flowey: “HELL YEAH!”
Flowey rushes in immediately. Kris follows right behind him. The other four hesitate.
Ploque: “...Yeah, no, I’m… not in the mood.”
N: “I’m sticking with Ploque!”
Amelia: “I can’t do much damage on my own without Plankton, and he’s not on our team…”
Stanley isn’t much of a physical person either, so he can’t do much… unfortunately, since I’m not keen on going to a third elimination in a row, and I’m sure nobody else is, either.
Kinen: “...”
Kinen: “This is gonna be a long one, huh?”
Meanwhile, in the IKEA, Flowey is wreaking havoc, and he is LOVING it.
Flowey: “HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! FINALLY! I can wring out all the stress by just GOING ABSOLUTELY APESHIT .”
Kris watches, occasionally assisting in the destruction.
Flowey: “Y’know, Kris, you’re easily the best person here. Everyone else is either a bitch or too much of a dickhead for even ME.”
Kris raises an eyebrow, stifling a silent chuckle.
Flowey: “HEY! Do NOT fucking laugh.”
Kris shrugs, writing ‘hey what can an enby do’.
…
Kris then stops in place.
Flowey: “Why are you just standing there.”
Kris writes ‘i have to go do something real quick. i’ll be back soon’
Flowey: “O…kay? I don’t give a shit, I’ll just destroy more crap.”
Kris gives a thumbs up, before running off to a secluded area of the IKEA. And what do they do there?
Rip out their SOUL.
Kris: “...You.”
Oh, shit, they’re speaking as well.
Kris: “What do you think you’re doing ?! You… did nothing back there, when she was…”
The SOUL sits in Kris’s palm.
Kris: “...Even back when you caused N to… kill almost everyone. You did nothing. You’re- the reason it happened in the first place, even…”
The SOUL moves around a bit, grabbing Kris’s pen and writing on a piece of paper.
‘It’s for the greater good.’
Kris: “ What greater good?”
‘You wouldn’t understand, Kris.’
Kris: “No. Tell me.”
‘...The prophecy.’
‘It never included this show.’
‘We must go back, to your world.’
‘I really don’t care how it happens. But what we’re doing now seems to be the best path.’
Kris: “That isn’t an excuse!”
‘I’m the one in control here… without me, you’re worthless.’
Kris: “...”
Kris holds their hands up to their head, groaning in defeat.
Kris: “Don’t do any more damage than you already have done.”
‘The challenge is about destroying things.”
Kris: “You know what I mean.”
‘I felt the sarcasm was necessary there.’
Kris: “It was not.”
Kris picks up the SOUL, inserting it back into their chest. They slowly get up, before casually walking back to where Flowey last was…
Cut to NNIT. Jumbo Josh reads the paper, sighing.
Artificer: “What are you sighing about? You’re the assistant.”
Jumbo Josh: “The challenge is going to suck hard, brah. You’re gonna need good luck, brah.”
Artificer: “...What?”
Plankton: “I swear to Neptune if that means it’s going to be a pain in the a-”
Jumbo Josh: “You got Episode 3, brah. You have to peep the horrors, brah.”
Plankton: “I KNEW IT.”
…
Plankton: “...What… is peeping the horrors??”
Plasma Ball: “Facing something frightening.”
Plankton: “Oh.”
Torch God: “IT COULDNT BE THAT BAD RIGHT”
An eldritch beast then appears in the room, leaving NNIT appalled.
Torch God: “...IT COULD BE THAT BAD”
Plankton: “You IDIOT, you JINXED US!-”
Plankton just barely dodges an attack from the creature.
Plankton: “WHAT WAS THAT FOR?!?”
Artificer: “It might have gotten annoyed by your voice.”
The Knight agrees. Plankton scoffs.
Jumbo Josh: “Well, I’m not gonna get involved, brah. You’re on your own, brah.”
Jumbo Josh proceeds to dash into the corner of the room. Bomb chirps. Artificer stares at Bomb for a moment.
Artificer: “...Hm. Your name is Bomb, right?”
Bomb squawks in confirmation.
Artificer: “Plankton. I have a task for you.”
Plankton: “Oh, FINALLY, someone asks for my help!”
After a quick montage, Plankton builds a Bomb duplication machine, a la Minecraft TNT dupers.
Plankton: “Done!”
Knight’s body then slams past Plankton. Looks like they tried fighting the creature during the montage.
Artificer: “Rot dammit- Plankton, start firing!”
Plankton: “Yeah, yeah, I was getting to it!”
Plankton turns on the duper, shooting a stream of Bombs at the creature. It seems to be doing a good amount of damage.
Plankton: “MWAHAHAHAHAHAHA! TAKE THAT!”
Plasma Ball: “...Was the evil laugh really necessary?”
Plankton: “Style points.”
Plasma Ball: “...”
Torch God: “I CAN’T BLAME HIM THAT MUCH”
Plasma Ball: “O…kay?-”
The creature suddenly lashes out, destroying the Bomb duper, and killing the bird in the process. Plasma Ball just barely catches Plankton in time to avoid him splatting on the ground.
Plankton: “OH, COME ON!”
Artificer: “We did deal significant damage, at least. But now we need a new tactic…”
Artificer then looks towards the Knight, who’s standing up, staring down the beast…
Cut to IDIOT. The room is silent, as the team stands around awkwardly for a bit…
Science Bear: “...So.”
Science Bear: “What are you twos’ names?”
Fhool’Djuu: “Fhool djuu”
Rabbit Clipart: “Rabbit Clipart.”
Science Bear: “I see… Fhool’Djuu, Rabbit Clipart, could you tell us the challenge? Judging off the current atmosphere, I think skipping to that is what we want right now.”
Fhool’Djuu: “No”
Science Bear: “No?”
Enderman: “...We need to do the challenge.”
Rabbit Clipart: “They’re just being an ass, I’ll do it-”
Fhool’Djuu: “nuh uhhhhh”
Fhool’Djuu snatches the paper from Rabbit Clipart’s paws.
Rabbit Clipart: “You-”
Fhool’Djuu: “yuor challenge is to find out who asked”
…
Charlie the Unicorn: “That is stupid.”
Blue nods in agreement.
Fhool’Djuu: “Hey im not the one who made the challenge go get mad at hoeius kohzdius”
Hoe breaks in through the ceiling.
Hoe Kohzd: “no”
Fhool’Djuu: “ok”
Hoe then vanishes.
Charlie the Unicorn: “...This is becoming more uncomfortable, I despise the level of chaos that’s slowly building up here.”
Charles: “How do we even answer that question?”
Test Tube: “It’s kinda nonsensical…”
Fhool’Djuu: “uhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh”
Science Bear: “Surely, you two must have a hint, at the very least. I wouldn’t want to ask too much by inquiring what the full answer is-”
Rabbit Clipart: “I hate to break this to you, but we happen to be two of the only people who didn’t finish this challenge, so we have NO idea.”
Fhool’Djuu: “Awkwardsauce!”
Science Bear: “...That complicates things.”
Charlie the Unicorn: “No shit, Sherlock.”
Charles: “So what do we do?!”
Blue thinks… before coming up with an idea. Someone could ask a question, and another could say that person asked. Do this with all the contestants, plus the assistants, and they might be able to find the answer.
Test Tube: “Oh, Blue, that’s-”
Sundew: “Yeah, that works pretty well. Let’s make this quick, though. I do not like the side-eye they are giving me.”
Fhool’Djuu is deviously glancing at Sundew.
Fhool’Djuu: “i know what you are”
Sundew: “Gay?”
Fhool’Djuu: “A rejoiner, but sure that too”
Sundew: “...Cool story, dude. In a gender-neutral way. Is there a directly gender-neutral version of dude?”
Charles: “Sundew asked!”
Incorrect buzzer.
Charles: “Aw, shoot.”
Science Bear: “Well, there’s still quite a few more of us to go. We can get through the list easily, I believe.”
Test Tube: “Y-Yeah, it shouldn’t be that hard! Right?”
Sundew: “Test Tube asked.”
Incorrect buzzer again.
Sundew: “Yeah, I’m getting the impression we’re going the wrong direction.”
Rabbit Clipart: “I don’t think it’d be any of you people, anyways, considering this challenge happened before our awareness of your show.”
Fhool’Djuu: “its hoe”
Fhool’Djuu: “He likes to do stuff for shits and giggles… Its all shits and giggles… Until somebody giggles and shits…”
Rabbit Clipart: “...That last part was unnecessary, but, I can’t deny that fact. As much as I loathe agreeing with you.”
Fhool’Djuu: “did somebody say loaf”
Rabbit Clipart: “No-”
Fhool’Djuu transmutes Rabbit Clipart into a loaf of bread.
Charlie the Unicorn: “WHAT WAS THAT.”
Fhool’Djuu: “Yeast infestation”
Yeast particles fly out from Fhool’Djuu.
Sundew: “That’s just disgusting.”
Science Bear: “More importantly- Is she gone for the rest of the challenge?”
Fhool’Djuu: “wouldnt be surprised”
Blue silently sighs, disappointed that they lost someone already, and in a challenge where that shouldn’t even be able to happen.
Charles: “Well, you know what they say…”
Silence.
Test Tube: “...What do they say?”
Charles: “I dunno. I thought I’d think of a cool line to put there, but I didn’t.”
Sundew sarcastically claps.
Sundew: “Great work, people. We’ve accomplished nothing.”
Science Bear: “Though harsh, I agree that we should get back on track…”
Charles: “Oh, yeah, let’s get to that!”
Cut to BFDI. Blocky and Nikoly are finishing up a plate of spaghetti. Red, Squid, and Tree-y are watching from the sidelines. The latter then sucks up spaghetti into his mouth with, uh. Tree-y powers.
Squid: “...Was that necessary?”
Tree-y: “♪ probably not but i liked it a lot ♪”
Red: “Good for you, Tree-y…”
Red: “...Where’d the spaghetti come from, actually?”
Squid turns to look at “Najimi”.
Squid: “Where did the spaghetti come from.”
“Osana Najimi”: “I dunno, I kinda zoned out during the whole sequence where it appeared.”
Blocky and Nikoly are now finished.
Nikoly: “Mmm, that was the good shit. Like, the really good shit. Legendary drop.”
“Osana Najimi”: “Next upsies is dancing!”
Red: “I really don’t understa-”
Blocky shushes Red.
Blocky: “Hey buddy. You have to be quiet because people don’t like you.”
Anyways, Blocky and Nikoly begin dancing. …They’re shit at it.
Nikoly: “I have a sneaking suspicion this is not working 🤔”
Blocky: “This part sucks balls, anyways.”
Blocky starts breakdancing on his own.
Nikoly: “Go Blocky! Go Blocky! Go Blocky! Go Blocky!”
Squid: “I don’t know why but this irritates me greatly.”
Nikoly: “Go Bu- no wait she isn’t here.”
Nikoly’s fail makes Blocky lose his focus, causing him to spin around the room and knock everyone down.
Tree-y: “ow”
Red: “Ow!”
Misato Tachibana: “Ow.”
“Osana Najimi”: “Yowchie!”
Nikoly: “Zoinks!”
Squid: “.”
Except Squid, obviously.
Squid: “Why did you say that.”
Nikoly: “Why not?”
Squid: “It’s stupid.”
Nikoly: “And?”
Squid: “It’s dumb.”
Nikoly: “And?”
Squid: “It’s-”
Misato Tachibana: “Can you two please shut up?”
Squid: “This is NOT your busine-”
Blocky: “Vetoed. It’s her business now.”
Squid: “???”
Misato Tachibana: “I’m… gonna count that for dancing, personally.”
Blocky: “HA! The Blockster wins again.”
Misato Tachibana: “And now there’s only one part left…”
Misato then groans disappointedly.
Misato Tachibana: “I do not like remembering this part.”
Red has a Realization and immediately skids behind Tree-y.
Red: “I’m out.”
Squid: “She hasn’t even said what it is. Are you that much of a wimp?”
Red: “Hey, I watched pass… it’s-”
“Osana Najimi”: “The last challenge is to kiss.”
Squid: “...You have to be fucking joking.”
“Osana Najimi”: “Nuh uh.”
Tree-y: “♪ it is the truth it will not sooth ♪”
Squid: “Well, looks like we’re forfeiting. Great . Thanks a lot-”
Nikoly: “Nah, we’ve got this.”
Blocky: “This ain’t nothing to us!”
Tree-y: “♪ what a surprise they win the prize ♪”
Red: “...You’re… willingly going to?...”
Nikoly: “I mean it’s platonic so I don’t give a fuck.”
Blocky: “What he said.”
Nikoly: “I might be gay but I can still kiss people platonically.”
Blocky: “What he said.”
Nikoly: “Buns pickles lettuce cheese put the patty inbetween.”
Blocky: “What he-”
Squid: “Can you two just get on with it so I can properly bleach my eyes?!”
Nikoly: “Sir, yes, sir!”
And then Blocky and Nikoly proceeded to kiss platonically, except it looks far from platonic. Squid also goes behind Tree-y, looking down at Red, who’s shuddering.
Squid: “If there’s one thing I have to agree with you on, it’s that this is disgusting.”
After a… suspiciously long time, Blocky and Nikoly stop.
Blocky: “Boom. Done.”
Nikoly: “Completely platonic, by the way.”
Misato Tachibana: “NO FUCKING WAY THAT WAS PLATONIC.”
Nikoly: “But it was”
“Osana Najimi”: “You’re did it!!!”
Confetti falls from the ceiling.
Nikoly: “Oh, yeah, we did do it.”
Blocky: “Hell yeah!”
Blocky does the Fortnite default dance. The whole team is promptly teleported out of the room.
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “Blocky’s Funny Doings International, you guys score first place in the challenge!”
Hoe Kohzd: “you get a star”
Hoe places a gold star sticker on Tree-y.
Tree-y: “♪ i will cherish this rare and mystical gift ♪”
Squid: “...If that took the least time, I’m appalled at what the other challenges could possibly be.”
Cut to Rocket selling stuff to Pinky and Sans.
Rocket: “This… is…”
Rocket kneels down and whispers to King Julien.
Rocket: “ What is this? ”
King Julien: “ I have no idea! ”
Rocket: “...Something! That does really cool things!”
Sans: “...You gotta work on your pitch, kid.”
Pinky: “Yeah, how can you sell what you don’t even know a thing about?”
Rocket: “Uhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh”
Spider-Ham: “I think we need a new plan.”
Spider-Ham pulls out…
Spider-Ham: “Hot dogs! Get ‘em for $4.99 per bag!”
Pinky and Sans look at each other, then back to Spider-Ham.
Pinky: “I’ll pass.”
Sans: “Same.”
Spider-Ham: “Well, shoot, I’m out of ideas.”
Carl: “I have o-”
Spider-Ham: “Yeah, um, I’m gonna have to stop ya there, Carl. Not sure how much I trust your judgment when it comes to this.”
Carl: “Wow. That’s just uncalled for. I’ve never done anything wrong, and yet I get this.”
Donkey: “You killed me and took my front legs!”
Carl: “Meat dragons don’t come out of thin air, you know.”
Spider-Ham: “You read forbidden tablets!”
Carl: “Who else was going to read them? The people that wrote them died a long time ago.”
King Julien: “If I recall correctly, you also destroyed the South American government!”
Carl: “It was the public’s opinion.”
Rocket: “You eat human hands in front of me constantly!”
Carl: “Hunger plagues us all.”
Donkey: “Oh, and another thing- YOU OWN A WORLD-ENDING BOMB!”
Carl: “I really don’t see the issue with any of these examples. You all are just haters.”
Pinky: “...Did… all that really happen???”
Spider-Ham: “Mhm. Every last bit of it.”
Pinky slowly slinks away from the group.
Sans: “...I’ll make this easy for you all. I feel pity after learning about those events. Give me something and I’ll buy it off you.”
Donkey: “Oh, then let’s-”
Carl: “500 cigarettes.”
500 cigarettes are generated by the infinite matter generator.
Donkey: “Woah, woah, woah, why’d ya summon so many?!”
Carl: “Referential humor.”
Donkey: “Ah, yeah, now that I can get behind.”
Carl turns to Sans.
Carl: “20 buckaroos. Take it, or leave it… alongside your bone marrow. I hear it can be used as a substitution for butter.”
Sans: “The threat was unnecessary, I was going to purchase it anyways.”
Sans buys the 500 cigarettes! RCoKJ is promptly teleported out of the room.
Hoe Kohzd: “the economy is Booming”
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “And you guys scored 2nd place!”
Carl: “Victory is ours.”
Rocket: “I’m conflicted about that being the reason we won…”
King Julien: “Well, a win is a win!”
Cut to CF. Amelia, N, Ploque, and Stanley are all still in the main room, lounging around, as Kinen joins them. Joe is looking into the IKEA.
Joe Tazuna: “Wow, they’re going buck- wild in there.”
N: “Heh, well, they do have to pick up the slack for the rest of us…”
N: “...Do wish I could lend a hand, but, y’know what I said earlier.”
Ploque: “Yeah, not in the mood…”
And as for us, we’re… still far from equipped for DESTROYING AN IKEA. Seriously, who came up with this?- Ah, right, crossover host. Such a… peculiar person.
Hoe Kohzd: “fuck you too man”
WHAT.
N: “?”
Only the Narrator heard Hoe.
…It’s- nothing to worry about, N.
…
Amelia stands up.
Amelia: “...I should help, so- we can finish faster…”
Ploque: “But- how ? You said it yourself, you wouldn’t be able to on your own.”
Amelia: “Well, it’s- it’s worth a shot…”
Amelia enters the IKEA, seeing the rampage of Flowey and Kris.
Flowey: “FUCK YOU, DISHWASHER!”
Kris slashes the aforementioned dishwasher, shattering it into pieces.
Flowey: “HA. SUCK IT.”
Amelia: “ ...Oh, they’re- doing a way better job than I could… ”
Amelia: “ ...No, Amelia- don’t- put yourself down now. I’m already here, I have to- ”
Flowey accidentally runs into Amelia, knocking her down. She doesn’t die, but she takes some damage.
Amelia: “Ow…”
Kris helps Amelia up.
Flowey: “What the hell- since when were you in here?”
Amelia: “...Just a bit ago.”
Flowey: “Well, get the fuck OUT, then! You’re just going to get yourself shattered and that would help literally NOBODY.”
Flowey: “...Not like I actually give a shit, but I’d be surprised if you didn’t have some sort of self-preservation. Maybe I’d laugh, actually!”
Kris gives Flowey a disappointed look.
Flowey: “You should be used to this shit by now, Kris.”
Amelia: “...”
Amelia: “...I’m going to stay.”
Flowey: “Wow, okay, you don’t , then. What the hell are ya gonna do? Rip a few pillows or something? That’s weak . YOU’RE weak.”
Amelia stands silently, as Kris gives Flowey a ‘stop right now’ look.
Flowey: “WHEATLEY SAID IT HIMSELF. ‘Honesty is the best policy’ or whatever cheesy shit it was. And, let’s be real, you’re thinking the same thing, aren’tcha? She’s made out of glass . She is BUILT. TO. DIE. It’s a miracle she hasn’t died more -”
Amelia: “Stop.”
Flowey: “So you can stand up for yourself, then? What, did Plankton’s ego rub off on you? Guess you wimps gotta stick together, huh-”
Amelia grabs Flowey, pulling him up. Kris raises an eyebrow.
Flowey: “THE FUCK ARE YOU DOING?!”
Amelia: “...I- I don’t know-”
Kris watches as Amelia pulls harder and harder. They notice that her eyes seem to be… purple…
Suddenly, her wick sparks with a purple fire, as she pulls Flowey out from the ground.
Amelia: “...”
She drops him.
Amelia: “I think he’s dead.”
Kris nods, agreeing.
…They write ‘what the fuck was that?’.
Amelia: “...I- I wish I knew. This- isn’t the first time I’ve felt this… powerful?... But… I didn’t- I didn’t expect this .”
Amelia kneels down, looking at Flowey’s corpse.
Amelia: “H-How are we supposed to win now?! I killed him. He’s gone. And- And I’m the reason- why- I…”
Kris stares…
…
* Proceed
Amelia: “Huh?!”
Kris writes ‘if you have that power, you could possibly destroy this whole place’.
Amelia: “I- I don’t know- it takes a lot out of me…”
Kris writes ‘put your all into it. remember everything bad that’s happened, everyone that’s wronged you - maybe that’ll help’
Amelia: “...”
Amelia: “...Yeah.”
She punches the floor.
Amelia: “Maybe… I can change.”
She punches again.
Amelia: “And… figure out who I used to be…”
She punches.
Amelia: “...So, so many- bad things have happened…”
Punch.
Amelia: “...But… none of that matters.”
Punch.
Amelia: “I- I can prove them all wrong!”
Punch.
Amelia: “I can finally-”
Punch.
Amelia: “Not-”
Punch.
Amelia: “Be-”
Punch.
Amelia: “Useless.”
And, with one last punch, she focuses every bad thought and memory, the will to defeat those who’ve ruined her and turned her into the person she is…
Awakening her inner flame. The floor shatters into pieces, shaking and destroying the shelves, furniture, even parts of the ceiling. It begins crumbling more and more, as she keeps punching. Kris watches.
‘...you can leave it alone’
‘it’ll get destroyed on its own now’
‘if you don’t move, you’ll die’
But Amelia doesn’t spare a glance. Kris sighs silently… then leaves her to it. As soon as they step out of the IKEA, one last punch is hit, sending the whole place falling down.
Joe Tazuna: “Hoooooooooly smokes.”
Kinen: “Wh- What happened in there?!”
Kris simply writes ‘vengeance’.
N: “Huh- What does THAT mean?!”
Ploque: “You cannot just write that and not explain further.”
Is nobody pointing out Amelia and Flowey are still in there?!
Suddenly, the team is teleported out of the room.
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “Cool Friends, ya guys snag 3rd place!- where’s a third of your team.”
N: “We have NO idea.”
Ploque: “Except Kris, but they’re being vague .”
Kris writes ‘dead’.
Hoe Kohzd: “Sweet”
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “Not-”
Koe revives Amelia and Flowey. Flowey immediately backs away from Amelia, who’s just staring at her own hands. N taps her.
N: “Ya good?”
Amelia: “...Yeah.”
N: “Cool, cool.”
Amelia: “...I’m gonna… leave.”
Amelia heads right into the building.
Cut to NNIT. The Knight dash slashes at the creature, stabbing their nail into it before walljumping with said nail, continuously puncturing its ‘flesh’. Once they get up to its eyes, they activate the effect of the Glowing Womb charm by draining their SOUL, summoning hatchlings that swarm the creature. They hop down as it’s distracted, motioning for the others to get hits in.
Artificer: “On it.”
Torch God: “SAME”
Artificer begins lobbing explosive spears, dealing good chunks of damage. At the same time, Torch God shoots fireballs that, while slow, also hit pretty hard. Plankton hops on top of Plasma Ball.
Plankton: “Well, I’m not going to just sit around and do NOTHING! Plasma Ball, help me out here.”
Plasma Ball: “The hell do you want me to do?!”
Plankton: “SOMETHING! Whatever-”
Plankton puts on some attachments to Plasma Ball’s arms.
Plankton: “These are a modified, simplified version of the suit I gave Amelia a few challenges ago. Should be enough to get some hits in!”
Plasma Ball: “...Sure, whatever.”
Plasma Ball’s arm turns into a cannon, and she begins shooting rapid-fire laser shots. Off to the side, the Knight is regenerating their SOUL…
Meanwhile, a few members of IDIOT have given up on the challenge and are… playing chess? Or, well, most are watching it.
Sundew: “Rook to E5.”
Sundew moves her rook, trapping Science Bear’s king.
Sundew: “Checkmate.”
Science Bear: “I must admit, it’s surprising you beat me.”
Sundew: “Eh, beginner’s luck.”
Fhool’Djuu: “me next”
Sundew: “Whatever, sure-”
Fhool’Djuu: “King to the void”
Fhool’Djuu disintegrates Sundew’s king.
Fhool’Djuu: “Mate Check”
Sundew: “What in Pantala was THAT?!”
Fhool’Djuu: “Myw inning strategy”
Charles: “There’s no way that was legal-”
Fhool’Djuu: “La la lala la i cant hear youuuuuu”
While that shit happens, Enderman and Test Tube are trying to figure out what the answer to the question could be.
Test Tube: “I don’t get it. How- How have none of these things worked?!”
Enderman: “We can’t give up now.”
Test Tube: “But- everyone else has-”
Enderman: “So what if they have? I…”
Enderman: “...I do not want to risk elimination.”
Test Tube: “...”
Test Tube: “...Are you… still hung up about last challenge?-”
Enderman: “Of course I am. I did not think people would distrust me the way they did. And that… disappoints me.”
Enderman: “I’ve been trying to break out of the mindset of being nothing more than just… a monster . That’s what I am, by classification. But that’s not who I want to be.”
Enderman: “And, yet, everyone still treats me like one, even when I can walk like them and talk like them. What will be enough for them? Must I change how I look to adhere to their rules? Or is it just fruitless?”
Test Tube: “...Look, Enderman. I- I know from… well, not from myself, but from someone I… know … that there are expectations one just doesn’t want to live up to. Admittedly, I was at fault for pushing that person to fit the role I wanted them to. But, they realized, that’s not what they wanted to be! And they let me know that fact.”
Test Tube: “Truth is, it’s not always going to be that simple, though. Sometimes there’s just people who’ll hate you, no matter what! It’s always going to happen in a reality show, after all. It’s competitive, and those types of environments love to breed hatred. But what you need to do is prove them wrong. Be the bigger person, and show them that you truly aren’t the person they want you to be, but your own person!”
Test Tube: “...At least, that’s what I think. Maybe asking someone else would be bette-”
Enderman: “Thank you, Test Tube. And- I haven’t thanked you enough, I think… Last time, this time, it’s only been twice, yet I feel I owe you much, much more.”
Enderman: “I’ll heed your advice… so that, one day, I can finally be respected…”
Test Tube: “Haha, you flatter me…”
…
Test Tube: “Oh, geeberweezer, THE CHALLENGE!”
Enderman: “Right, right-”
But it’s too late. In NNIT’s room, The Knight unleashes one final attack, using Abyss Shriek to vanquish the beast. It stumbles over, before crashing down and disintegrating.
Artificer: “...Finally, it’s over.”
And with that, both NNIT and IDIOT are teleported out of their rooms.
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “And NOT NAMING IT THAT scores the last safe spot!”
Hoe Kohzd: “and IDIOT are a buncha IDIOTS like the TEAM NAME wow its a Motha Fuckin Reference they LOSE and are DOODOO-”
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “Alright, that’s enough of that.”
IDIOT is devastated.
Sundew: “You have to be kidding me- How did we let ourselves get distracted?!”
Science Bear: “It was, ultimately, a fruitless endeavor…”
Charlie the Unicorn: “Yeah, no fucking clue how anyone expected us to get that.”
Hoe Kohzd: “for da record the answer was ‘nobody asked’.”
Charlie the Unicorn: “Are you SERIOUS.”
Hoe Kohzd: “/srs”
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “Welp, I’ll be sending all you crossover-ers back now!”
The pass-ers begin shouting for him not to.
Hoe Kohzd: “Hold on wait”
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “Hm?”
Hoe kills and revives Joe twice.
Hoe Kohzd: “the bit had to be done”
Koe proceeds to send ‘em away, despite their protests.
Plasma Ball: “...They were pleading for you to not do that.”
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “Oh, snap, were they? Uh- kinda too late for that…”
Kinen: “Hey, I’m still here!”
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “Oh, right-”
Koe opens a portal.
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “There ya go! Safe travels.”
Kinen: “Thanks for the cameo! See ya!”
Kinen enters the portal.
Mr. Koe Hohzd: “Well, now that that’s taken care of…”
Koe begins to explain the poll, but…
We have other things to take care of.
THAT NIGHT
Blue and Test Tube just finished watching some cheesy films, and are now walking through the halls back to the rooms.
Test Tube: “Y’know, it was… kinda funny seeing how bad those were!”
Blue agrees.
Test Tube: “...Hey, uh, Blue?”
Blue tilts his head, wondering what’s up.
Test Tube: “Enderman talked to me today, during the challenge, about… y’know, their troubles. Could you help me out in getting people to stop seeing them as, well- scary?”
Blue nods, eager to help out his friend.
Test Tube: “Great! I started out a framework for-”
A siren is heard.
Test Tube: “-it…”
Test Tube’s face is confused. Blue asks what’s up.
Test Tube: “I dunno- I just heard a weird noise! Did you also?...”
Blue shakes his head no, as the sound plays again.
Test Tube: “Wh- that…”
Test Tube thinks, as she hears it again.
Test Tube: “ What could that BE?! It could be something harmless, but- then why would I hear it and NOT Blue?... ”
Test Tube: “ ...No. Don’t- don’t tell me. ”
Test Tube is hyperventilating now, frightening Blue. He starts flailing his arms around in confusion, but Test Tube grabs his shoulders.
Test Tube: “Blue. I need you, to listen to everything I have to say.”
Blue swiftly nods.
Test Tube: “Th- There’s- someone out there, who has it out for me. Because he - while indirectly - is the reason I exist . And, I don’t know why- but there’s an issue with that now! This… This must be him. Please, Blue, we need to warn Koe about Steve Cobs -”
And then she sees it. MePhone X.
Test Tube: “...No, no, WAIT-”
Blue tries to react to the invisible force he senses, but… it’s too late.
She’s gone.
VOTING POLL: [Ended.]
THE DAY OF THE NEXT ELIMINATION
In the URAADV dimension, most of the former contestants are gathered.
Stick Bug: “...I can’t help but notice we’re missing some people.”
Milton the Merchant: “Well, I did hear Profily was busy, and Ixol…”
Arch-Illager: “That pale pest is WORTHLESS!”
Milton the Merchant: “Harsh, but, yes, we all know how he is.”
Stick Bug: “And, yet, Goo is missing too…”
Meta Knight: “I would not jump to conclusions just yet. He could be running late.”
Meta Knight: “In any case, we have more important matters to attend to…”
Stick Bug: “Right…”
Stick Bug: “Many of us have noticed people disappearing from their home worlds, right?”
Muffet: “I have heard rumors of someone from the underground going missing…”
Spamton G. Spamton: “THE LIGHTnER…”
Spamton G. Spamton: “GONE [[On Clearance!]] LIKE THE TRAITOR THEY ARE !!!”
Heli squeaks in confirmation of Stick Bug’s question.
Cybop: “Someone from Earth Island left, but ‘dey’re bituva lunatic, anyways.”
Stick Bug: “I, myself, have seen someone vanish without a trace…”
Meta Knight: “And so have I, in front of my very own eyes .”
Garfield: “And why should we care?”
Meta Knight: “This could spell terrible things for us! We have not a clue towards who did this, or what their motives are, or who they might take next! What if it’s another competition?! What if it’s HER ?!”
Garfield: “...Oh, yeah, guess that’s bad.”
Cybop: “Ya guess ?”
Nanobot seems to be thinking… and is about to say something, but is promptly interrupted.
Ixol: “What’s up, bitches.”
Stock applause sfx starts playing.
Arch-Illager: “NOBODY is applauding your presence!”
Ixol: “Wow, rudeeeeee!~”
Ixol turns off the speaker that was playing the sfx.
Ixol: “Anyways, heard there was real important shit going on. Wussup?”
Stick Bug: “We’re discussing how people went missing in our home world-”
Ixol: “Ooooooooooooooohhh.”
Ixol looks around awkwardly for a moment.
Ixol: “Hah. That must suck for you guys. I’m chilling-”
Nanobot: “////////////////////////////////////////////////”
Ixol: “Way to ruin the bit!”
Cube raises an eyebrow.
Meta Knight: “What is ‘the bit’?!”
Ixol: “Yeah, so, uh, I know what’s going on with that shit. Ol’ Nano over here does, too!”
Stick Bug: “You do?!”
Ixol: “Yup. It’s Koe.”
Gasps.
Stick Bug: “...You’re not serious, are you?”
Nanobot: “///////////////////////////”
Stick Bug blinks, then puts his hand up to his temple.
Stick Bug: “I can’t believe it… after all the shit we went through, he has the AUDACITY to pull this crap again?!”
Meta Knight: “That would explain his months-long disappearance.”
Sketchpad: “But how’d you even learn in the first place?!”
Ixol: “I may or may not have helped him out.”
Meta Knight: “This just keeps getting worse.”
Stick Bug: “...We cannot let this continue. The first show ruined so, so much. It almost got all of us killed forever. Koe- I’d love to say he would do better, but he’s clearly not showing that he can. This has to end.”
Meta Knight: “Seconded. Unfortunate we’ll have to go on without Goo or Profily, but… 16 is better than nothing.”
Muffet: “I loathe being the downer, especially to Knighty, but how do you two expect us to even find out where this is happening?”
Meta Knight and Stick Bug both just look at Ixol.
Ixol: “...Meh, got nothing better to do. I’ll throw you guys a bone and give some support!”
Arch-Illager: “And, for once , he’s finally useful for something.”
Ixol: “I will twist you into a pretzel!”
Arch-Illager: “.”
Arch-Illager: “I TAKE WHAT I SAID BACK-”
