Chapter One:
Around The Town In 80 Seconds Part 1

Everyone was getting accustomed with each other. Ryota was seen glaring angerly at Gwen, who was clutching onto Duncan, Steve looking awfully jealous at the sight, Kalin was eyeing everyone around him, Mae tried to distance herself from everyone, Oldman just doesn't mind the people around him, Alexis is eyeing on some of the boys she thinks he's cute, Mariah was smiling at Owen, while Fortune was looking through her tarot cards for each contestant. Dawn stopped her meditation, stood up, and walked over to Fortune.

"Your aura tells me that you can read the future by tarot cards," she said. "It really suits your personality."

"Why thank you, Dawn," Fortune said with a smile, bringing out a tarot card from out of nowhere. "Take this, but don't show it to anyone."

"I promise," the Aura Whisperer nodded.

She took the tarot card from Fortune, and took a look at it. Dawn then smiled and gasped.

"And here I thought my tea leaves were wrong like last season," she said, before looking back at the Psychic. "And you sure it's not some imagination?"

Fortune lifted her finger and said, "Believe me, I'm never wrong."

A blowhorn was heard loudly to the point where everybody has to cover their ears. It stops, as they all look and saw it was Chris who blown it.

"Alright contestants, listen up!" he said. "First thing's first. We need to put y'all into teams. Teams of three of course."

"Just like last season!" Sierra pointed out.

"Exactly," the Sadistic Host said. "So your first challenge is to run through these warehouses and find your way out. The first three people that made it out will be captains of their respective teams."

"That's it?" Kalin asked. "Piece of cake."

"Yeah, no problem at all," Mike shrugged.

"Oh, there'll be plenty of problems later," said Chris. "And...GO!"

He blown the blowhorn once again, and Courtney, Owen, Heather, Alejandro, DJ, Gwen, Duncan, Sierra, Trent, B, Dawn, Dakota, Mike, Zoey, Mae, Ryota, Mariah, Oldman, Kalin, Fortune, Steve, and Alexis started to run through the warehouses.

...

Duncan and Gwen were running through the warehouses together, holding hands.

"So Pasty, think we can hide inside one of these places and make out?" the Delinquent asked.

The Goth Girl turned her head towards him and said, "Maybe later. Right now, let's try and find our way out of here."

Confessional

Gwen is now in the confessional, which what seems to be a bathroom stall...a clean bathroom stall where it looks like it's already been built.

"Okay, first confessional," she said. "Duncan's like the greatest boyfriend I ever had, but I'm not holding out the make out sessions during challenges. Having a romantic partner can really throw you off your game, get what I'm saying? That what really screws things over for me the last two seasons I was in."

End of Confessional

...

Steve was running through the warehouses, looking left and right before running off. He suddenly cut short when Alexis suddenly appears right in front of him.

"Oh, hey," the Techno-Goth said, waving at her friendly. "Alexis, was it?"

The Friendly Neighborhood-Goth leaned over with a teasing smile and said, "I see the way you were looking at Duncan and Gwen. Your just jealous, are you?"

Steve hesitates and asked, "J-jealous? Me? Of course not. I just don't like the couple, that's all."

"Okay then," Alexis said, turning around and walking away. "Good luck trying to win Gwen's heart, Mr. Goth Lover."

The Techno-Geek shook his head and looks at Alexis with an annoyed look on his face before continuing on.

...

Fortune was calmly walking through the warehouses. She suddenly sensed something, and took out her tarot card. The Psychic then felt like she just bumped into someone, and when she look, she suddenly found DJ standing before her.

"Oh, Fortune!" he said, taking a couple of steps back. "Sorry about that."

"Oh, don't mind that," said Fortune. "I knew that I would bump into you."

"And how did you know that?" the Friendly Guy asked with a confused look on his face.

"I can read the future thanks to my tarot cards," the Psychid said, holding out the card she was holding. "They seem to favor you."

DJ took the card and saw that she was right. He then looks at her and said, "Well, that's a nice...gift. Well, see ya."

He stuff the card in his pockets and left, Fortune giving him a smile with her cheeks glowing red before continuing her way.

...

Courtney was running through the warehouses, looking like she was on a killing spree.

"I'll be team leader, I'll make sure of it!" she yelled. "And when I do, Duncan and Gwen will pay!"

...

Mariah was getting tired of running through the houses, so she leaned her back against a wall and slumped down.

"Now I know why everyone has to put up with Chris," she muttered. "This is so lame!"

Owen happens to pass by, but then stops when he looks at her.

"Hey Mariah, why you look down?" he asked. "Did ya eat less or something?"

The Optimistic Girl looked over to him and said, "Uh...I guess?"

Owen turned around where his back faces towards her and said, "Here, let me give you a lift."

Mariah smiled tiredly, got up, and walked over towards the Fun Guy to the point where she jumped on her back, and Owen running through.

"Thanks, Owen."

"No problem, it's great helping out new people...as long as your not like Al," Owen said, squinting his eyes with a confused look on his face.

Mariah shook her head and said, "No, of course not! Why would I be like that big dumb jerk who voted you off in season three, huh?"

Confessional

"Wow, Mariah seems nice and all," said Owen. "And she appears to hate Al and his guts. I hope she isn't too much like Sierra, that's for sure."

End of Confessional

...

Alejandro was running past towards the warehouses, until Ryota suddenly appear right next to him and tries to shove him away.

"Hey, quit it!" the Arch-Villain yelled.

"Quit it?" the Revengeful Fan asked. "Pu-lease. After eliminating almost everybody last season, do you honestly think that I should get you off my list? Courtney's a better character than YOU anyways. Why would SHE fall for you, when she's SUPPOSE to be with her true love, Duncan?"

"Well I think that delincuente doesn't deserve her," Alejandro yelled. "And I stand by my words!"

"Why YOU!"

Both of them then started to fight with each other, Alejandro kicking Ryota, Ryota punching Alejandro, etc., as they got into a cloud of dust. What they didn't notice, however, is that they made it out of the warehouses. The Revengeful Fan pushes Alejandro in front of him, while the Arch Villain trips him and then lands on top of him.

"Both your auras are incredibly flaming red about now."

Both antagonists suddenly stopped fighting, as Alejandro suddenly stood up, and saw Dawn meditating on top of a blue mailbox.

"Hey, how did YOU get there?" the Arch-Villain asked, glaring at the Aura Whisperer.

Dawn opens one eye at them and said, "Oh, I took a shortcut after Ryota pushes you."

Chris quickly appears out of nowhere and blew a horn. Within minutes, each contestant suddenly found themselves out of the hoardes of warehouses.

"Man, and here I thought those warehouses were running after me," Kalin commented, which makes Zoey look at him weirdly.

"That explains the screaming," she said.

"Okay dudes and dudettes, listen up!" the Sadistic Host said. "We have our first three people that made it out here first. Which means that their captains of their own teams."

Ryota fully stood up and said, "Perfect!"

He then looked over at Gwen and gave her an evil, devil-ish smile which creeps her out.

"But here's the deal," Chris continues. "One of you neighborinos would pick out your own teammates first, followed by the other. The last captain is sticking with the others. Since Alejandro got here first, he's calling the shots, then Dawn, and finally Ryota."

Confessional

"What?" Heather yelled, glaring at the camera. "Oh, you've got to be kidding me. I don't want to be on the same team as either Junkyard Hairstyle, Weirdo, and the Hateful Fan version of Sierra. Hmph!"

Static

"And things just got worst!" Kalin yelled. "Dawn I think I can manage, but Alejandro and Ryota? No thank you!"

Static

Fortune looks at her tarot card and said, "I knew which people they would choose. I also know which team I'm involved with, but I hope I can manage."

Static

"Chris is kidding!" Mae yelled, glaring at the camera. "He's kidding, right?"

Static

"Ugh, I don't think I can last if I were in Ryota's team," said Gwen. "That guy seemed to hate me. What did I ever do to him, anyway?"

End of Confessional

"Alright, Alejandro pick out the people you want."

The Arch-Villain places a hand on his chin and was staring at everyone before him, Dawn, and Ryota.

Confessional

"Okay, everyone seemed to be against me since season three," Alejandro said. "Maybe if I pick some people to do as I say, maybe some of the newcomers, they won't know what hit them!"

End of Confessional

"I think I'll choose...Mariah."

Mariah groans, as she walks over to where Alejandro was standing at and was glaring at him deathly.

"...Owen."

"Okay, I guess."

Owen walked over towards the two, with the Optimistic Girl giving him a sweet smile.

"...Dakota."

Dakota walked over to Alejandro, and gave him a suspicious look on her face before looking over towards Owen and Mariah.

"...Oldman."

"Okay, I guess," Oldman shrugged, walking over towards everyone.

"...Sierra."

Sierra walks over to Alejandro and glared at him before joining with the others.

"...Duncan."

Duncan groaned, but quickly learned to live with it and walks over to the gang. Gwen watches with a worried look on her face.

"And last, but not least...Fortune."

Fortune walks over to Alejandro, and gave him a tarot card. He looks at it and said, "How did you know that I was going to pick you?"

"A Psychic never reveals her secrets," Fortune said, giving him a wink and walked towards everyone.

"Now that Alejandro got his share, Dawn is next."

Dawn looks over at everyone, sensing all of their auras and pasts at once, and snaps her fingers.

Confessional

"I need to pick the right amount of people that doesn't have the strength and courage in their auras," the Aura Whisperer insisted. "Not to mention making them stay away from the others with darkness."

End of Confessional

"I choose B of course."

B walked over to her and gave her a friendly smile.

"Your welcome, B," Dawn said, before looking towards the others. "...Gwen."

The Goth girl shrugged, and walks over towards her and B.

"...Kalin."

"Okay then," the Green-Monkey guy slowly said, walking to join the group.

"...Mae."

Mae playfully shrugged and walks over. She stood right next to Kalin as they both gave each other friendly smiles.

"...Mike."

"Alright!" Mike exclaimed cheerfully, running towards Dawn.

"And last, but of course, Zoey."

Zoey cringes, but goes along with it and joins with the others.

Confessional

"Oh, no offense, why does my team captain have to be like a, like a witch or something?" she said, before changing her mood. "At least I'm on the same team as Mike, that's for sure."

End of Confessional

Ryota sighed and said, "And I guess that leaves me with Courtney, Trent, Alexis, Steve, Heather, and DJ."

The six people who's names were called walked over to where their team leader is at.

"Okay, I am hearby christianing the team names this season," Chris explained. "Alejandro's team, your name would be Team White Ice. Dawn's team, your name is Team Firebirds. And as for Ryota, your team name is Team Thunderbolts."

With that, all three team signias appear. The team symbol for Team White Ice has a gray-ish ice block with a white background, Team Firebird is a dark red bird with a bright red background, and Team Thunderbolts has a dark yellow thunder with a bright yellow background.

"Wait, White Ice?" Oldman asked, with a confused look on his face.

"Firebirds?" Kalin asked. "But we're not on fire!"

"At least Thunderbolts is a fitting name for my team," Ryota said, glaring at the two guys before him.

"Okay, civilians, listen up!" Chris explained. "Here's your second and third-combined part of the challenge. You all have to travel around the city of Domino, and make it to the KaibaCorp. Hotel for a minute and twenty seconds."

"What?" everyone said in unison.

"But how are we suppose to do that if we don't have any transportations?" Courtney asked, giving out a death glare.

Chris walks over to one of the warehouses, and by knocking on the huge door a couple of times, it suddenly swung open, revealing to be tons of junk in there.

"You get to built your own transportation with these," the Sadistic Host replied. "You all have until sunset to finish. If you do, that's when the traveling begins. So...good luck.

...

With Team White Ice, they were all looking through a bunch of stuff that might be suitable for driving, but Alejandro was thinking of something.

"Hmm...we could built some motocycles," the Arch-Villain says to his team. "Their faster than cars. That way, it can be easier for us to win this challenge."

Mariah crosses her arms, glares at Alejandro, and said, "And does winning mean losing on your book? Or is this team some sort of alliance for you to pick us off?"

"I'm gonna have to agree with her on this one," Oldman said, pointing a finger at Mariah. "I mean, even newcomers like us don't like you."

Duncan walks over to where Alejandro is, and says, "Hey, hey, hey. Ease up, guys. Alejandro may be evil and all, but now's not the time to criticize others. If we want to win this challenge, we need to come up with ideas. And after all, motocycles aren't such a good idea."

Dakota picks up a muffler and said, "You know, he's right. If we work together and build some technology-like motocyles, then we have a better chance at winning."

"Yay!" Sierra cheered. "Then let's get to work then!"

Everyone then walks into the warehouse to pick up some items needed to build motocycles. Fortune, however, takes out a tarot card, and had a worried look on her face.

"I fear that this will not be according to plan," the Psychic said.

...

With Team Firebirds, everyone was looking through inside of the building, browsing through random random equipment that looks like old carnival rides.

"Is this where the carnival rides go to after summer's over?" Mike asked.

Kalin shrugged, saying, "Beats the heck out of me, that's for sure."

Mae scratches her chin and says, "Maybe we can make something out of this junk. Carnival rides is what most people crave for, so...how about making it extreme?"

Gwen crosses her arms and said, "Uh, Mae? In case you forgot, we're building transportations, not a circus."

Zoey looks around, and realizes that their missing a teammate. She turns back to the others and asked, "Hey guys, where's B?"

There was suddenly a large banging noise. They all turned around and saw B pulling out a rollercoaster ride that only comes in four, as well as a used fake rocket and a robot-like arm. He stopped pulling them, ran over, and pulls out a huge crate filled with rollercoaster tracks.

"Hey, I think B likes that idea of yours, Mae," Dawn said, looking over to the Shy Girl.

"Yeah, a rollercoaster," Mike said, walking over towards B. "That sounds like a great idea.

...

Meanwhile, with Team Thunderbolts, the teammates were gathering around in what seemed to be used small airplanes.

"Okay guys, I think I got the idea here," said Steve. "What if we rebuild these small airplanes? They might give us an adventage to win this challenge."

"Awesome idea!" Alexis cheered.

"Uh, hello?" Courtney asked, walking over to the Goths. "NOT awesome. In case you didn't know, these airplanes need like, tons of fuel and technology to do so. How are we suppose to even use these without the aquired equipment?"

"Gee, I don't know," the Friendly Neighborhood Goth says, before glaring at Courtney. "Maybe abusing your ex-boyfriend will help?"

"HEY!" Ryota yelled. "Courtney didn't abuse Duncan. They were accidents!"

"Yeah right," DJ said, glaring at the Revengeful Fan. "If she did so on accident, then why did it look like she did it on PURPOSE, and doing it for herself, huh? Duncan's my friend, and there's no way I'm hanging with people like Courtney or you!"

"Hey, ease up, guys," Trent said. "No time for arguements and fights. I think Steve and Alexis make a good point."

"We do?" Steve asked.

The Musician walked over to them and said, "Of course. We can rebuild these airplanes..."

He pulls out what seemed to be video game controllers before continuing, "And maybe if we find something to make it fly, then we can fly with these things."

"Yeah," Ryota said, smiling somewhat of an evil grin. "And you can take your revenge on Gwen for dumping you for Duncan."

"Dude, shut up," Trent said, before he, Steve, and Alexis were starting to get to work.

Courtney walked up to the Revengeful Fan and said, "Wow. You really are devoted to me, are you?"

"Of course," Ryota shrugged. "There's no way I would turn against my very favorite character in the show. Everyone else deserves to go home."

...

It was now sunset, as the teams got their vehicles ready for the challenge. Team White Ice built four motocyles with four carriers to carry in people, Team Firebirds built a rollercoaster with a rocket behind it with a robotic arm right between the first and second carrier, and Team Thunderbolts created four airplaines, three of them having two seats, while one has one in reserved for Ryota.

"Okay, contestants!" Chris declared, holding out a blowhorn. "On the count of three, you all go! You have one minute and twenty seconds to get to the KaibaCorp. Hotel. Three...two...one..."

The soccerhorn blew, and all three vehicles swooped past him as quickly as possible.

With Team White Ice, they were all driving down the road until they drive into a nearby Subway, driving through the stairs and right down on the traintracks.

With Team Firebirds, they were taken to the roads where the robotic arm was quickly placing rollercoaster tracks at a fast past, with them riding all over through the streets, on the buildings, and right in a loop. B and Kalin almost lost their hats, but not before grabbing onto them before coming back down to the road.

Team Thunderbolts were flying through the skies, using video game controllers as their chance of steering the planes. They were looking through the tall buildings of Domino City, trying to look for the Hotel, but with no success.

"Any luck?" Ryota asked through the microphone.

"Nothing," Heather spoke.

"Then keep looking!" the Revengeful Fan demanded. "The sooner we win the challenge, the sooner Gwen's team will get her off!"

"Alright!" Courtney's voice rang out, making Ryota smiling sweetly.

All of a sudden, there was a large noise. Ryota looks up, and suddenly saw a blimp. Every teammate then started to scream their lungs out.

Back with Team White Ice, they were travelling down the traintracks, but heard a noise. They saw a bright light before them, and they all screamed as a train was going straight at them.

With Team Firebirds, they were all out of traintracks when they were back on the loopty-loop once again. Thanks to B, he held up the carriers to the point where they were now back on the ground, but were all going through an ongoing traffic. They suddenly saw a truck and a moving van hitting against each other, and they all screamed as the Silent Genius steers the ride. But they didn't expect the rollercoaster ride going into the air and twirling around, everyone feeling the dizzyness.

"I'M GONNA HURL!" Kalin yelled his lungs out.

"DON'T WE ALL?" Mike yells back.

Everyone continues to scream as they all landed and stopped right next to a building. They got out of the ride, and all of their faces were green to the point where Ryota turned back to the ride, and pukes into a seat. Dawn looks up, and suddenly saw the words on top of the building.

"Hey guys," she said. "I think we won the challenge."

"We did?" Mae frantically asked.

Chris suddenly appears out of nowhere and says, "Yep!"

Pretty soon after this, the four airplanes crashed to the ground from the sky. All four of the doors opened, revealing to be Team Thunderbolts looking like they survived a plane crash. Four motocyles suddenly drive up, with Team White Ice stopping in front of everybody, and looks as if they survive an invasion.

"And the winners of the first challenge is...Team Firebirds!"

Dawn, B, Gwen, Kalin, Mae, Mike, and Zoey started to cheer, but not before B and Zoey starting to puke their lunch out into the seats also.

"Team Thunderbolts are safe for elimination..."

Ryota, Courtney, Trent, Alexis, Steve, Heather, and DJ all cheered.

"And Team White Ice...your all facing the first ever elimination tonight."
