Hello everyone, this is NootNoot64/HedgeFighter210

You may know me as the writer for Total Drama Extend, a fic which i recently deleted. Reason why? A combination of me being displeased with certain aspects of TD Extend, motivation rapidly deteriorating in continuing the fic as is and really really wanting to have someone else to host the first season instead of Chris for the umpteenth time (Not a bad thing though.). Leading to the creation of TD: Merashow!

As for the host of this season, it will be none other than Merasmus from Team Fortress 2! And much like Chris, he’ll torment 20 people, coming from different parts of the multiverse, with various challenges.

Here are the rules for the cast submissions:

1 - No NSFW/Pornographic characters

2 - No IRL people

3 - No OCs

Speaking of casting, here’s who will return from TD Extend:

1 - Klonoa (...)

2 - Niko (OneShot)

3 - Rayman (...)

4 - Sash Lilac (Freedom Planet)

5 - Asterix (...)

6 - Red (Angry Birds)

And here are the newbies, hand-picked by yours truly

7 - Soldier/Jane Doe (Team Fortress 2)

8 - Travis Touchdown (No More Heroes)

“Huh, guess ya finally decided to let me compete in one of those Total Drama crossover fics, after you cut me from TD Extend’s initial roster.” Someone spoke off screen, it was the no more hero himself, Travis.

Yeah yeah i know, now go back to your corner.

“Alright.” Travis said before walking away. “If you cut me for the second time, the body part that’s getting cut from your body is your head.”

Okay, geez what a hot head..

Now where was i, oh right. Go nuts with your character submissions and i’ll be taking challenge suggestions as well.

This is Noot signing off.

Chapter Text

The camera opens up with an aerial view of a campground, which then zooms towards it, transitioning to a shot of the campground's entrance, which consisted of only a wooden dock. After some seconds pass, a man teleports in front of the camera. He was very tall and wore a greyish robe, a black cape that also serves as his scarf covering his mouth, a hat that is a skull of a ram missing the left horn and has the right eye intact. He also had a bag hanging on the left and three fish heads hanging on a rope on the right. He also wore bandages in his right pinky.

"Greetings viewing world!" The man exclaimed. "It is i! Merasmus, your host for the newest reality show! Coming at you live on this campground! And not just any campground, it is one with a lot of things not present in your typical camp. That i may or not have put it there myself."

Merasmus let out a malevolent laugh

"You may be wondering "Merasmus, why are you hosting a reality TV show out of nowhere?". Well, i was watching TV one day, the same thing you, the viewer, is doing right now when a show called Total Drama began to play and as i watched it, a lightbulb appeared into my head and i went "Hmm, what if i made the same thing but with fools originating from not only this world but other worlds as well?" And that's how this show came into existence." Merasmus said. "That is not all! 20 fools, including a roommate, have auditioned to stay in this haunted campground for some weeks and compete against each other in the MOST TERRIFYING, the MOST HORRIFYING challenges envisioned by yours truly! HA HA HA HA! They'll also face the judgement of and possibly be voted by their fellow contestants. Once a contestant gathered enough votes, they'll be dropped down to an unknown dimension but i made extremely sure that staying there won't kill them as i don't want to face thousands of lawsuits." Merasmus said, ending off with a weakish laugh.

"The last one standing will win... ONE. MILLION. DOLLARS!" Merasmus said. "And before you ask, don't think too much on where i got all that money from."

"While on the topic of contestants, i had help from one of my interns which i'll introduce after everyone's arrived." Merasmus said. "And i also need this show to become a success financially so i can pay off the debt i owe to the japanese mafia, ha ha.."

"With my introduction out of the way. Beware Viewers, you're in for a scare in Total! Drama! Merashow!" Merasmus exclaimed before letting out a maniacal laugh.

[INTRO]

"And we're back viewers!" Merasmus said. "Let's meet our contestants, starting with the angry red bird himself, Red!"

Right on cue, a spherical-shaped bird with red feathers and bushy brows was dropped off at the dock via a boat.

"Hey there." Red said. "You must be that Merasmus guy."

"That's right!" Merasmus said. "How does it feel being my first vic-i mean-the first contestant to step in this campground?"

"It's fine, i guess." Red said. "Chuck and Matilda didn't stop begging me to compete in this show of yours, with the former doing it because it looked fun while the latter did so because she wanted me to get some time off guarding the eggs all the time."

"Okay then, stay over here while the other contestants arrive." Merasmus said, pointing to the other side of the dock. Red complied and hopped towards the place where the wizard pointed.

"The second contestant is the Crownless King from Santa Destroy, Travis Touchdown!" Merasmus announced as a man with a spiky pompadour and blue eyes was dropped off the boat, he wore a red lightweight leather jacket, t-shirt, jeans, and sunglasses. He also had a beam katana, the Blood Berry, clipped on his belt and currently deactivated.

"Welcome Travis! You're the second person to step forth into this campground!" Merasmus greeted the former assassin.

"Campground? The contract you sent me showed a picture of a resort, don't tell me i got catfished." Travis said.

"Well uh.." Merasmus said nervously, not hiding anything at all. "Just stand with Red over here okay?"

Travis groaned in frustation.

"This is the last fucking time i let myself be scammed.." Travis said under his breath before turning his gaze to Red.

"So ya must be the first contestant." Travis said to Red.

"Yeah?" Red said, before noticing the currently deactivated beam katana on Travis's belt. "What is that on your belt?"

"Oh, this is my katana." Travis said. "I mainly cut off heads with it, used to."

Red nodded. The next boat dropped off a schoolgirl standing idly on it with a happy expression glued to her face.

"Third contestant everyone, this is Ayumu Kasuga, also known as Osaka." Merasmus announced. "How are you feeling?"

Osaka did not respond, spaced out.

"Uh.. Osaka?" Merasmus asked Osaka.

"I'll handle that." Red said as he hopped towards Osaka.

"KA-CAW!" Red yelled, causing Osaka to break out of her trance.

"H-huh!? Oh, hi there! I'm Osaka!" Osaka said.

"What the hell Red!? Did you really have to yell at her face?" Travis yelled at Red.

"Yelling at someone who is spaced out of their mind works the same as snapping fingers in front of them." Red said to Travis. "Almost all the time but still."

"He he, you're a funny bird." Osaka said to Red.

"Whatever." Red said, rolling his eyes as he walked back to his spot.

"Enough chit chatting from all of you. Osaka? Come stand over here." Merasmus said to Osaka.

"Okay!" Osaka said as she began to make her way to the other side of the dock.

"Wait, no no no no no!" Merasmus said to Osaka. "I meant the spot of the dock where Red and Travis are standing on!"

"But i thought you said to go over here." Osaka said, pointing to the horizon. Merasmus was starting to become agitated.

"Just go to that spot of the dock they're on, okay?" Merasmus said, gesturing to Red and Travis while hiding his agitation. Osaka walks to where Red and Travis are.

"Moving on. The fourth contestant is Ashlynn Banner!" Merasmus announced as a boat dropped off a young woman who had long ginger braids, slate green eyes and many freckles. She was wearing a green jacket above a grey hoodie, black pants and grey boots. She also wore earplugs.

"Welcome to the campground Ashlynn!" Merasmus said.

"So those are the people i'm gonna be staying with?" Ashlynn asked the wizard, pointing to Red, Travis and Osaka.

"Yes. And there are 16 others coming as well." Merasmus said to Ashlynn. "Go stand over here with them."

"Right." Ashlynn said, walking towards the three currently on the dock.

"What are those things in your ears?" Osaka asked Ashlynn.

"Those are earplugs. I have Tinnitus and Hyperacusis so i wear those to block out the noise." Ashlynn explained.

"Oooh.." Osaka said, just in time for the next boat to drop a tall muscular man with blonde mullet and light blue eyes. He wore a black polo shirt, green pants, a white belt and shoes. He also had a knife sheated on his belt.

"This is Brock Samson, also known as the Walking Swedish Murder Machine in his world." Merasmus said.

"I assume those guys are my competition yeah?" Brock said, pointing to the contestants currently on the dock.

"Indeed." Meramus replied. "Go stay over here with them."

"This could be interesting." Brock said as he walked to where the others were. The next boat dropped a man with black hair and thick beard. He wore a hawaiian shirt, dark trench coat, baggy black jeans and boots. He looked around the campground.

"Would ya look at that?" The man said, smirking in approval. "Rough on the outside, rugged in the inside. I like this place already."

"This is William Butcher, leader of a vigilante group called The Boys." Merasmus said.

"Oi, you just call me Billy for short." Billy said.

"Right, stay over here with them." Merasmus said. Billy complied. Next boat dropped off a short man with blonde hair and a mustache. He wore a black tanktop, a green belt with a gold buckle, red pants and brown sock-like shoes. The man looked around, curious on where he ended up in.

"This is the Invincible Warrior of the Little Gaulish Village from his world, Asterix!" Merasmus introduced the gaul to the contestants.

"Say Merasmus. Do you know where i am?" Asterix asked the wizard.

"The 20th century!" Merasmus said. "By the way, where is your friend?"

"You mean Obelix?" Asterix said. "He really wanted to go but you said in the.. paper you sent me that only 1 person from the same world is allowed to compete, so i've volunteered to go instead."

"Wow, a host who doesn't remember the guidelines he set up in the contract he sent to all of us? Fantastic." Ashlynn said sarcastically.

"I heard that!" Merasmus yelled at Ashlynn. "Anyway, Asterix, go stay over here."

Asterix nodded and walked to where the others were. The next boat dropped off an overweight anthropomorphic crocodile, he had a gold armor resembling a belly covering, well, his belly, a red cape and a golden crown.

"Next up is the King of the Kremlings himself, King K. Rool!" Merasmus announced.

"Thank you for accepting my audition Merasmus!" K. Rool said. "This is the perfect opportunity to acquire the budget for my new doomsday device and claim my victory over that banana munching simian!"

"Wait, i thought kings like you had unlimited resources at your disposal?" Red said.

"Of course, even villains need money for their plans, you spineless avian!" K. Rool yelled.

"Spineless avian!?" Red yelled, clearly offended by K. Rool's insult. "Let's see how you fare after i break your spine!"

Just as Red began to hop towards the Kremling King with the intention of attacking him. Asterix grabbed Red, holding him back while the bird spoke angrish.

"Calm down Red! Calm down!" Asterix said to the red bird.

"Simmer down everyone." Merasmus said to the contestants. "K. Rool, go stand over here with them."

K. Rool complied and walked to where the other contestants are. Asterix then let go of Red, who had calmed down. The next boat dropped a woman with red hair, styled in a bob shoulder-length haircut and freckles on each one of her cheeks. She was wearing a green and yellow tracksuit jacket, black skirt, purple leggings and black and yellow sneakers.

"The drummer of Sex Bob-Omb everyone, Kim Pine!" Merasmus announced.

"Is this seriously the place we're gonna stay in?" Kim asked.

"Yes, why are you asking?" Merasmus said.

"Because it looks like a dump." Kim said.

"...Just go stay over here with the others, okay?" Merasmus said, gesturing to the other contestants all while his right eye twitches. Kim rolled her eyes and walked to where the other contestants are. The next boat dropped a young woman with a long, choppy, dark-plum hair that is cut unevenly. She wore a nurse outfit.

"The Tenth contestant to step forth in this campground, the Ultimate Nurse from her world, Mikan Tsumiki!" Merasmus announced.

"Um.. h-hi.' Mikan said nervously. "I hope we can all get along during the competition."

"Yes yes, now go stand over here with the others." Merasmus said to the young nurse.

"O-Okay.." Mikan said, walking to where the others are.

"The 11th contestant is coming in next! And they should be here any second now.." Merasmus said and out of thin air, two bizarre-looking people, one was a ringleader with teeth for a head and a woman who looked like a cartoon jester.

"There she is. Thank you for bringing her here Caine." Merasmus said to the ringleader.

"My pleasure Mr. Merasmus!" Caine said. "One trip back to 1968 as promised, Pomni!"

"Right." Pomni said. "I'm glad that i'm outside but i'm still stuck in this body."

"Well, you can't have everything in life, now can you?" Caine said to the jester. Pomni attempted to object.

"Alright, you can leave now Caine." Merasmus said to Caine.

"Okay then!" Caine said before looking at Pomni. "Take care and have fun, my Superstar!"

Caine disappears in a puff of star bits, Pomni looks at the contestants currently standing on the dock.

"Well, this could be fun.. i think." Pomni said as she walked to where the others are. The next boat drops off a cat-like child with blue hair with three "whiskers" jutting out from the sides, large yellow cat-like eyes, and tan skin/fur. He wore a brown overcoat extending over his arms, a long light blue scarf, a brown hat with catlike ears, and grayish-purple bottoms that appear to be leggings.

"Welcome Niko!" Merasmus said. "You are the 12th contestant to step into this campground."

"Thank you Mr. Merasmus." Niko said. "I'm glad to be here."

"I feel the same, go stay over here with my other vic-uh-contestants." Merasmus said.

"What?" Niko said.

"Nothing." Merasmus said, Niko then walked towards the contestants.

"You're a funny looking cat." Osaka said to Niko.

"I'm not a cat. I'm a person!" Niko said to Osaka.

"Really?" Travis said. "Then why do you look like o-"

"Don't think too much about it." Kim said to the former assassin, interrupting him.

"What was he going to say?" Niko asked Kim.

"None of your business." Kim said to Niko. The next boat dropped off a female humanoid robot, her armor was colored blue and her helmet frames her face in such a manner as to resemble hair, with the sides forming the 'fringe' and a seashell motif forming the 'bangs'. Her torso armor resembles a female swimsuit, her gauntlets are long like opera gloves, and her boots have high heels. She was wielding a harpoon-like weapon, name of said weapon? Frost Javelin.

"Fairy Leviathan! Welcome!" Merasmus said to the robot.

"Thank you for accepting my invitation, Merasmus." Leviathan said. "I saw that you were hosting a competition similar to that "Total Drama" show."

"Indeed, and i saw in your audition that you wanted to compete to cleanse your boredom and for the thrill of the challenges, yes?" Merasmus said to Leviathan.

"That is correct." Leviathan replied.

"Great, go stand over here with the others." Merasmus said, pointing to the other contestants. Leviathan nodded and walked to the contestants.

"He he he… She made the right choice." Merasmus said. The next boat dropped off a cyborg with black hair protruding from both sides, and a large nose. He wore a light-gray Mackintosh raincoat and trilby hat with a lighter-gray stripe in the middle, blue pants, light-gray shoes, and dark brown gloves.

"This is Inspector Gadget. He is a cyborg known to have a wide range of Gadgets at his disposal!" Merasmus said.

"And right you are!" Gadget said, he looked around the camp. "Gotta say, this is quite the nice vacation spot you've chose, Merasmus!"

"Yes, indeed!" Merasmus said. "(Ha ha ha… For a cyborg, he is quite a fool.)"

"I would beg to differ." Kim snarked.

"Go stay over here." Merasmus said to Gadget.

"Okay then!" Gadget said as he walked to where the other contestants are.

"Another Reploid?" Leviathan said.

"Reploid?" Gadget said to Leviathan. "I have no knowledge of what that word means, miss."

"Me neither, in fact, we don't have people like you two back in my world." Asterix said.

"It is expected though, you ain't around from those parts. Hell, we all aren't." Brock said to Asterix.

"Hmm, you do have a point here." Asterix said. Just as both men finished their brief conversation, the next boat dropped off a rabbit-like humanoid girl with brown fur and blue eyes. She wore a white-and-orange jumpsuit with a yellow vest, arm and leg covers, and an orange strap around her belly.

"Greetings everyone." The rabbit girl said. "I'm Lop and i hope we can all get along in this competition."

"That's nice and all. Why don't you join them there?" Merasmus said to Lop.

"Of course." Lop said and she walked to the contestants. Red couldn't help but notice the metal hilt, which resembles a katana on her hip.

"What is that on your hip?" Red asked Lop. "It kinda looks familiar but at the same time, it isn't."

"This is my lightsaber." Lop said, clipping it off her hip and activating it, causing a green light resembling the blade of a katana to emerge from it. "It is my family's heirloom, passed down through the generations."

"Huh, neat." Red said.

"Another user of the beam katana.." Travis said. "I also have the same kind of weapon as you do."

"Oh? Were you also your family's heir?" Lop asked Travis.

"Nope, i won it through an online auction and i was left completely broke after that. Plus my family's dead, aside from Henry." Travis said.

"I'm so sorry for your loss." Lop said to Travis.

"Eh, i ain't torn up about it as much i was anymore." Travis said.

"Enough talking, both of you! We have five contestants left and the first one of that bunch is coming here right now!" Merasmus said to both Travis and Lop. Seconds after he said that, a boat dropped off a child who resembled a mix of a cat and a rabbit as evidenced by his long fluffy ears, whose ends resemble maple leaves. He had black fur, with his snout and ends of his long ears being white. He wore a blue high collared t-shirt with a large zipper pin, dark blue high waisted shorts with yellow buttons on the sides, a backwards blue cap with Pac-Man and a pellet pinned on it and red and white hi-top lace-up sneakers with white soles and white shoelaces.

"Welcome to the campground, Klonoa!" Merasmus said to the cabbit. "How do you feel being there?"

"It's fine." Klonoa said. "I mainly wanted to take a break from my duties as a Dream Traveler."

"Wowsers!" Gadget exclaimed. "Is that kid your brother Lop?"

"What?" Lop and Klonoa said at the same time, in confusion.

"I do not know who they are, Gadget." Lop said.

"I don't remember being related to them either." Klonoa said.

"That aside, would you kindly stay with them over here?" Merasmus said to Klonoa.

"Will do." Klonoa said before walking to where the other contestants are. The next boat dropped off a slight overweight middle age african-american man, he wore a purple and yellow shirt with FHS marked on it, beige pants and grey shoes.

"Hey y'all." The man introduced himself to the contestants. "People call me Coach. Looking forward to getting to know you guys."

"Yes yes but answer me this. Are you ready to be tortu-err-endure my challenges?" Merasmus asked Coach.

"Ready? Boy, i've dealt with a literal zombie apocalypse already. I'm ready as shit!" Coach said.

"Very good! Now, you stand over here with the others." Merasmus said. Coach complied at walked to stay with the other contestants.

"Did the big man say "Zombie Apocalypse" just now? Aah! Is there one happening!?" Osaka said.

"Don't be scared girl." Coach said to Osaka. "From what i see here, there ain't any infected on sight, so you and the others should be safe."

After Coach's words calmed Osaka down. Another boat dropped off a limbless creature with orange hair divided in two folds and a big nose. He wore a purple and red hoodie with a "O" in the center, white gloves and shoes that were yellow and white.

"The Guardian of Glade, Rayman!" Merasmus announced.

"Yeah!" Rayman exclaimed. "I'm so glad to be here! Looking forward for the adventures this show will bring!"

"Oh you'll have a lot of adventures alright." Merasmus said to Rayman, totally not hiding anything.

"Brain! You're here too?" Gadget said to Rayman.

"Wha?" Rayman said, confused by what Gadget said. "I'm not sure what exactly you are talking about but i can assure ya that i ain't that "Brain" guy."

"Could you stay with them over here? Because the penultimate contestant will be arriving any second now." Merasmus said to Rayman.

"Oh right, sorry." Rayman said before walking to the contestants. The penultimate boat dropped off a female hybrid Water Dragon with light purple scales, magenta-colored eyes, long dark purple hair tied into a pair of long, twin pigtails out the back of her head. She wore a white overtunic on top of a blue shirt with a Mandarin collar, held by a red-orange Obi sash with an Obijime, and a knot in the shape of a five-sided flower, tied around it. She wore blue shorts, white kneecaps on her boots, which were light blue leather with yellow soles and rowel-like metal pieces on the side of the heels as well as white and orange braces over her blue gloves.

"The Penultimate contestant! The Heroine of Avalice! Sash Lilac!" Merasmus announced.

"Hi everyone." Lilac said to the contestants. "I'm here mainly because Carol and Milla wanted to see me compete in a show like Total Drama. I'm also looking forward to knowing you all."

"Huh, your friends also wanted to see you compete too?" Red said to the dragon girl. "Yeah, my friends back in my world wanted to see me compete as well."

"Well Lilac, the last contestant is coming. You might wanna go over there." Merasmus said to Lilac.

"Got it." Lilac said before walking to where the other contestants.

"And now.. the last contestant to apply to this show.." Merasmus said, building up suspense. "It's none other than-!"

"SCREAMIN' EAGLES!" A voice yelled from afar, which was followed by an explosion. After some seconds passes, a man wielding a rocket launcher landed on the dock. He wore red and over his chest was a belt with three grenades pinned on it and another belt around his waist with two bags on each side. He had black trousers and combat boots. He had an army helmet over his head.

"...Soldier." Meramus said in an unamused tone, having gotten the suspense he was building ruined thanks to Soldier's antics. "Why? Why did you have to ruin the surprise?"

"I was impatient." Soldier answered. "And that piece of crap of a boat was slow, so not only i've decided to get here faster by a rocket jump but i've decided to sink it doing so!"

"Gaah! Just go there with the others before i curse you for a hundred years!" Merasmus said angrily to Soldier. The merc didn't pay attention to the threat his roommate made to him and went to the contestants. Merasmus sighed.

"Looks like everyone's here." Merasmus said before teleporting himself and the contestants out of the dock and to the camp's grounds.

"Welcome mortals.. to Total Drama Merashow!" Merasmus said to the contestants. "Or you can just call it Merashow for short."

"All of you will be split into two teams. Together, those same two teams will be competing in my challenges and the team that loses the current challenge will have to vote off someone." Merasmus said. "It could be you! It could be him! Anyone could get voted off!"

Soldier was about to equip his shotgun but Pomni stops him, shaking her head.

"Speaking of which, i'll just assign you all to your respective teams so i can get that part out of the way." Merasmus said.

"Mikan"

"Asterix"

"Kim"

"Ashlynn"

"Osaka"

"Klonoa"

"Billy"

"King K. Rool"

"Pomni"

"And Brock. All of you come over here." Merasmus said, gesturing to the left side of the camp's grounds. All of them complied to the wizard's request and walked to the left.

"You will be known as… Team Trickers!" Merasmus announced.

"Fine by me." Billy said.

"Same here." Brock added.

"Trickers hmm?" King K. Rool said. "I'm quite the trickster myself so it is a good enough name for me!"

"As for the other half." Merasmus said.

"Niko"

"Rayman"

"Lilac"

"Red"

"Soldier…"

"Travis"

"Lop"

"Fairy Leviathan"

"Inspector Gadget"

"And Coach. Come over here to the opposite side." Merasmus said, like the Trickers, they complied and walked to the right side of the camp's grounds.

"You will be known as… Team Treaters!" Merasmus said.

"Eh, it's an alright name." Coach said.

"Quite agreed." Leviathan said.

"Treaters? That is a stupid name!" Soldier exclaimed. "If it were up to me, i would have named this team American Eagles!"

Merasmus was starting to become agitated but tried to hide it the best as he could.

"...As i was saying, after 10 contestants have been eliminated, the merge will happen and the remaining contestants in the running will have to fend for themselves. The last one standing will win one million dollars." Merasmus said as he hid his agitation. "I'll let my intern and the same one who brought all of you to this world give you the tour on this campground because i don't feel like it. If you got any questions, don't bother asking because i'm leaving now." Merasmus said before teleporting away. After Merasmus teleported away, the intern he mentioned showed up. It was a gothic-looking woman with long black and grey hair, tied into a bun. she wore a black dress.

"Hello everyone." The woman said. "My name is Sarah and i'll be your guide."

Sarah is seen guiding both teams around the areas in the campground. The first stop being the cafeteria.

"This is the cafeteria." Sarah said. "It is where you will be eating your breakfast, which are Cream Puffs."

"Cream Puffs? Do you have food other than that?" Ashlynn asked.

"No, it's just it." Sarah said. "Our chef did attempt to make other food but it turned into Cream Puffs everytime."

"I would have personally preferred Pancakes but i suppose Cream Puffs are good." Niko said.

"Good, if this cafeteria served eggs, i would have a long talk with Merasmus." Red said.

"And by that, you mean beating him senseless?" Lilac said to the bird. Red fell silent for some seconds before speaking up.

"...Yes." Red said bluntly.

"Can we see who the chef is? We're curious to know what they look like." Mikan said.

"The nurse is right." Billy said. "I too wanna see the chef."

"Right away." Sarah said. "Mash, could you come here for a second?"

On cue, a young man with black hair that is styled in a bowl-cut with bangs swept to the right, yellow eyes, a fake magic mark placed over his left cheek in the form of a lightning bolt. He wore a white shirt, black trousers, red tie, brown shoes and black cloak.

"I'm here Sarah." Mash said. "I take it these people must be the contestants monkey pops told me about?"

"Yeah, they are." Sarah said to Mash.

"Got it." Mash said.

"Monkey pops?" Gadget said. "Does he mean Merasmus?"

"I believe so." Lop said. This caused Soldier and Lilac to burst out laughing.

"I get why he calls Merasmus that, because he looks like one!" Lilac said as she kept laughing.

"Yeah." Soldier said, wheezing. Red rolled his eyes in response to Soldier and Lilac's sense of humor.

"So what is the next part of the tour?" Pomni said.

"I'll show you right away." Sarah said.

Travis: I may have been scammed by that wizard cunt but atleast i'm glad that this competition won't involve killing other people so i'll put my focus on becoming number 1.

Red: Chuck, Matilda? If the both of you are seeing this, are you making sure the Eggs are safe while i'm gone? If so, great.

Niko: Mama, everyone in the village. Please root for me.

Fairy Leviathan: So Travis has a weapon similar to Zero's? If he's as strong as him then the possibility of going up against Travis in the merge could be interesting.

Mikan: Uhm.. I-i hope I don't be a bother to my team during the competition and if do.. i-i hope they don't hate me for getting in their way..!

Soldier: Everyone, please stand!

The merc begins to sing to the tune of God Bless America. Atleast tries to.

Soldier: God bless America, land of... America... And so forth and so on..

Coach: Man, i could go for a BBQ bacon burger, and a large order of fries, and an orange soda with no ice, and a piece of hot apple pie right about now.

Osaka: …This place smells bad.

King K. Rool: Quite the competition i say! And some of them of the Trickers seem quite gullible too. I just gotta find the perfect candidate to be my minion and then, when the merge hits, i'll get rid of them and win the money!

The Trickers and the Treaters are now at the final part of the tour.

"This is where all of you will be staying in." Sarah said as she gestured to the team's resting places. It was an mansion but it wasn't just any mansion, it was a luxury-looking one.

"Holy Mary, mother of Joseph!" Soldier exclaimed.

"Wowsers!" Inspector Gadget exclaimed. "Merasmus must have quite the budget to afford something like this!"

"Oh my gah!" Osaka exclaimed. "The Wizard is rich!"

"Aah, a place fit for a king like me!" King K. Rool said.

"I'm quite impressed." Brock said. "Where did Merasmus get all that money from?"

"Don't think too much about it too much, okay?" Sarah said to Brock. "Follow me inside, here you'll meet your caretaker."

Everyone followed Sarah to the mansion and upon entering the lounge, they came across a young woman with pale, ashy, sage-colored hair and long bangs that obscure her left eye. Her skin was fairly pale, and her eyes are of a pale, warm green color. She wore a maid uniform.

"Ah, i take it they must be the contestants Merasmus told us about." The young woman said.

"Yes." Sarah said to her. She then looked at the Trickers and Treaters. "That's the entire tour, now i'll leave you all with her."

Sarah looked at the maid.

"Would you be kind to introduce yourself to the contestants?" Sarah said.

"With pleasure." The maid said as Sarah left.

"My name is Kirumi Tojo, the Ultimate Maid from my world and i'm here to serve everyone." Kirumi introduced herself. "Please follow my lead to the entrance of your rooms."

As everyone followed Kirumi to their respective rooms, the doors of each of the contestants rooms had a portrait of a yellow rubber duck hanging on them, with each duck dressed up as the contestant the room belongs to.

"Those are your keys to your rooms." Kirumi said, handing the keys to contestants so they can enter their respective rooms. "If you seek my services, do not hesitate to ask."

"I got a question, Kirumi." Red said.

"Yes?" Kirumi said.

"What's with the duck pics hanging on the doors of our rooms?" Red said.

"Oh, it was a personal request from Merasmus." Kirumi explained. "It is my duty as a maid to fulfill the desires of others."

"...Right." Red said.

As everyone went to sleep for the night. Merasmus teleported outside of the mansion.

"And that's the first episode everyone. What challenge i have in mind for those fools tomorrow? Find out next time on the.. Merashow!"

Merasmus let out a maniacal laugh until it was interrupted by Soldier.

"Damn it Merasmus, we're trying to sleep here!" Soldier yelled from inside the mansion.

"Uh.. roll the credits please." Merasmus said.
